There will be less to gawk at this year on National Underwear Day, as its founder and sponsor, Freshpair.com, is forgoing its usual antics of skivvies-clad models in Times Square or a celebrity fashion show as in years past. Rather, the e-commerce site will mark the day, Aug. 5, by giving away 5,000 pairs of underwear via an online contest from brands including Calvin Klein, 2xist, Ed Hardy, Natori, and Elle Macpherson Intimates. The web-only promotion will allow the company to reach more people, said Freshpair president Michael Kleinmann.

Ode To The Cluster Fly
06/14/11 12:50PM By Steve Zind, Ric Cengeri
| Download MP3
Spring peepers, songbirds and babbling brooks: these are some of the sounds of spring.
But there's another one that may not be so welcome: the buzzing of the pollenia rudis - better known as the cluster fly.
VPR's Steve Zind has this...appreciation.

On a sultry June day, four fiery-tongued dragons descend upon Boston's waterfront. Their crimson- and jade-colored scales slice sharply through the Charles River. Tickling the waves, black braided whiskers trail from the chins of the swiftly moving monsters. "You're supposed to stroke them for good luck," Beijing resident Jon Li says, grinning.
But the racers riding the backs of these beasts will need more than luck. Teak vessels carved at the prow and stern to resemble China's mythical protector of the seas surge forward with a jolt. Here at the Boston Dragon Boat Festival, the competitors plunge their long blades in unison. As the dragons seemingly devour orange buoys marking the finish line, the exhilarated racers hold their paddles triumphantly overhead.
On shore, the Phoenix Phyre, an all-women's team, prepares for its heat. Many of the racers will pull double duty as awe-inspiring acrobats in the Lion Dance at the performing arts tent. The dance incorporates the story of poet/philosopher Qu Yuan, who's been celebrated at festivals like this since 278 B.C. One member models a papier-maché Buddha mask worn during the performance. She tugs comically at the pigtails tied with bright ruby ribbons. "Maybe I should wear this while we race," she says. "You'll steer us right into the shore!" a teammate replies with mock exasperation.
As the group turns serious to plan its strategy, another team begins a raucous cheer: "Who rocks the boat? We rock the boat!" Of course, rocking the boat is the last thing they want to do. With two rows of paddlers and a steerperson in the back, maneuvering can be precarious. A drummer seated up front spurs on the competitors in moments of fatigue, keeping them in sync.
Across the river, ornately costumed dancers keep time to a slower, more graceful rhythm. Young girls flit like delicate lotus blossoms to the airy notes of a lute. Families take a break from cheering the teams to gasp at sword-wielding martial arts masters and to color Peking opera masks in the arts-and-crafts tent.
Those exhausted from paddling or playing replenish themselves with savory zung-ze. A friendly chef gives a demonstration, in rapid Chinese, on how to unwrap these traditional sticky rice dumplings from their bamboo-leaf casings. Even if you don't understand a word, the excitement is contagious. Along the riverbanks, rich fragrances of Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, and Cantonese food commingle. "More than 70 countries around the world celebrate dragon boat racing," says race director Peter Lew. "This event is all about multiethnic sharing."
As festivalgoer Amy Tatarka places her little boy gently on the bow of a moored dragon boat, she says, "There's not much diversity where my family lives. I want to start my son young and keep his mind open to different cultures." Children run rampant over the boat, bailing more water in than out. A member of the dock staff asks, "Are you guys going to race next year?" From the smiles on their faces, this tradition will be one that lasts another 2,000 years.
The Boston Dragon Boat Festival is usually held in June. Call 617/426-6500, ext. 778, or visit bostondragonboat.org for more information.

WPIAL notebook: Burrell bends under Beaver Falls' defense
Although Burrell's two WPIAL title-game losses were against the same school, the flow of the games were vastly different.
In 1979, the Bucs lost a heartbreaker to Beaver Falls, pulling out to an 11-2 advantage and leading most of the way until Beaver Falls registered a deciding basket with 5 seconds left.
On Saturday, the Tigers took a 15-0 lead before Cole Bush scored for Burrell with 1:04 left in the first period. Beaver Falls won the Class AA final, 61-33.
The Bucs committed turnovers in each of their first four possessions Saturday and seven of the first nine times Burrell had the ball.
The cause? Beaver Falls' relentless defense.
The Tigers challenged the Burrell guards from the moment a possession started, preventing the Bucs from working the ball inside to big men Bush and Matt Hess.
"That was the game plan — come out and pressure all over the place," Beaver Falls senior Elijah Cottrill said. "We had to pressure them full-court and at midcourt. If we let them get into a half-court game, their big guys are good and it would have been a closer game."
Defensive pressure isn't just part of an occasional game plan for Beaver Falls — it's a way of life.
"That's our game plan, no matter who we play," Tigers coach Doug Biega said. "It's just that I believed that would be their kryptonite — for us to pressure their guards."
300 for Biega
Though just 42 years old, Biega reached 300 career victories. The 1988 Center High School graduate is in his 14th season at Beaver Falls.
After missing the 2000 playoffs in Biega's first year, the Tigers have made the playoffs each of the past 13 seasons.
Saturday's WPIAL title was the third during his tenure; Beaver Falls won gold in 2005 and '12. He also has had teams reach at least the semifinals nine times.
Biega's Tigers lost the 2008 title game to Jeannette and the '04 finals to rival Aliquippa.
The only Beaver Falls team under Biega to lose in the first round was the 2001 squad, which fell to Shady Side Academy.
Up next
The Bucs will open PIAA tournament play Saturday at Gateway against Bishop McCort. Game time is 4:30.
The Crimson Crushers defeated Bald Eagle Area, 68-43, in a District 6 consolation game for third place Friday night.
Burrell's next goal will be to win a PIAA playoff game. The Bucs are 0-3 in the state tournament, losing to Erie Strong Vincent (1979), Penn Cambria in ('84) and to Blackhawk (2001).
The Burrell girls don't have to travel too far, either, to open PIAA play. Coach Meghan Ziemianski's team will see action Friday at Plum High School in a 6 p.m. contest against District 6 runner-up Bellwood-Antis.
Leechburg still the one
With Burrell's loss Saturday, Leechburg remains the only local school to win a WPIAL basketball title in the 21st century. Leechburg brought home the Class A gold in 2007.
Among finalists who have come up short include Highlands in (2002, '09), Knoch (2004) and St. Joseph (2005).
In girls basketball, Freeport's 2004 team, along with Ford City (2007) and Fox Chapel (2009), all had to settle for silver medals.

Biden Receives Perfect Lifetime Environmental Score
The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, a national conservation group, awarded U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-DE) a lifetime score of 100% on their Conservation Report Card for 2005. Biden earned the perfect rating based on his environmental voting record for 2005, when he cast several votes against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), along with other votes to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, outlaw destructive logging practices, and protect the American coastline.
"I'm proud of this rating," said Senator Biden. "One of the reasons I first ran for office was to protect the environment. I believe that our grandchildren deserve a world with clean air and water, and land that is preserved and protected. I'll keep fighting for conservation, searching for alternative energy sources, and calling for American leadership on global climate change because that's what we owe to future generations."
The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund releases the Conservation Report Card after each session of Congress, with scores tallied on the basis of how each member of Congress weighed in on key votes affecting wildlife and wild lands. The full results of the Conservation Report Card for 2005 can be viewed at the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund's web page at: www.defendersactionfund.org.

Pissed Off In A Huge Way
I know I'm a little late to jump on the "pissed-off-that-the-show-Huge-was-cancelled" band wagon, but I assumed it would be coming on this summer and — big shocker –it's not. Is it so much to ask that there is at least one show on television that is not about teen vampires or werewolves or girls that put to much stock in high school and start pissing each other off?
Don't get me wrong, I love a good vampire show and werewolves are cool, too. But being a curvy girl, I would really appreciate a good show for and about curvy people. Do I relate to shows about skinny girls obsessed about social status and fitting in to a pant size smaller than they need? Hell no. But I did relate to Nikki Blonksy's character Will.
I too am the curvy girl who has parents that focus on my weight rather than who I am. I was also an extremely angry person and snapped at people who mentioned my weight. Will was angry at the world and just when she was about to change, just when she could be someone all curvy girls could look up to and find inspiration in she and the rest of the characters from Huge were cut short.
I'm tired of curvy girls being reduced to the sidekick for the cute, popular, skinny girl or just the awkward comic relief. I am more than that and I know there are millions of curvy girls out there who feel that they are more than that too. Huge may not have been perfect, if we define perfect television as being thin people dealing with thin problems. But considering the fact that the United States is the ninth heaviest nation in the world I would assume that most people would relate. The problems those kids deal with are problems that are real and not going away anytime soon.
Whether or not the show exists, the trials its characters faced on their short lived journey live on in our FAT nation. Yes I use the word curvy but the truth of the matter is the word fat is what we hear and what we live. Fat people of the world unite, and let's bring this show back.

I loved Huge! I watched it early last fall after reading interviews with the writers and was SO sad when it was announced that it was not coming back. I thought it was a really well-done show, and much more than being a show about kids at fat camp, was about the characters being teenagers. Who just happen to be fat teenagers. And there was no tokenizing of the characters (ugh the "fat friend" trope is annoying) because skinny was the minority. It was great.

Ceirra, have you read Huge by Sasha Paley? That's the book the show was based off of. If the show doesn't come back on and you need some closure for how it ends–you could try the book. (although I have to say that the show definitely veered a bit far from the original plot; probably because the book was too short to last several seasons). Also, this is random–but watch Queen Sized. The protagonist from the movie plays Wil. It's pretty good

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But just imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could undeniably be one of the very best in its niche. Awesome blog!

worth it in terms of energy savings to replace bathroom exhaust fans?
Since buying our home 10 years ago, we've replaced all the major appliances, including the lovely avocado green refrigerator in our tenant's apartment. I've been thinking if there's anything else should be replaced for energy savings.
We have two bathroom exhaust fans. One is our main bathroom and the other is in our tenant's bathroom (lower level).
For years we were confused about our tenant's exhaust fan because we couldn't figure out where it was coming out. Another mystery was why on the east side of the house there was a second vent, right next to the dryer vent. Turns out that vent does belong to the basement bathroom vent but we couldn't believe it. The bathroom is against the west side of the house, the duct work, between two joists, runs across the house (24'), makes a bend, a straight stretch (5'), and then another bend to the outside. Which means that the exhaust vent is pushing air 29' with two 90 degree bends. Because this is a bathroom with no windows, the tenants run the exhaust fan a lot. Remarkably there's no mildew problems.
The exhaust fan looks oldish - I'm going to guess by the styling maybe from the 80s. I can feel air when I put my hand on the outside vent so I know it is doing its job but I'm not sure how well.
Our bathroom exhaust fan upstairs is probably pretty old too but since we don't use it often, I don't think it makes economical sense to replace it. The basement bathroom exhaust fan runs for much longer times and I think is more critical. On one hand, if it's not broke, don't fix it. On the other hand, I wonder if I should replace it for energy/economic savings.
Now that I think of it, maybe I'll re-post this over in HVAC.

"You can't stop them!" That is a quote from angler Chris Sylvestro after coming off the sod bank at Graveling Point and stopping at Scott's Bait and Tackle in Mystic Islands on Friday.
He was talking about bluefish, striped bass and black drumfish.
That combination of inshore game fish is no longer confined to Great Bay. Matt Slobodjian was back at his post at Jim's Bait and Tackle in Cape May and reported striped bass up to 50 inches in length, drumfish and bluefish in the surf all around the point of Cape May from Poverty Beach to the ferry jetties.
He said the last of the incoming is the best tide there and clam is the bait.
The Brigantine surf also has that triple play going. Andy Grossman at Riptide Bait and Tackle said the blues are the spring variety that weigh 3-4 pounds. They are biting on everything, including past-prime clam.
But back to Great Bay, where fishing has been a steady action not only at Graveling Point but out in Great Bay and over to Grassy Channel.
Scott Albertson said anglers were out fishing the sod bank on Thursday night's full moon, and the great action continued.
Here's a neat story that originated at Chestnut Neck Boat Yard in Port Republic.
Joseph and Joanne Coniglio and their 3-year-old son, Salvatore, were fishing in their new 25-foot Hydrosport from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday off Graveling Point. It was non-stop action, Joseph said Friday.
He said it was all blues, except for the first bass ever for Joanne. It was just under keeper size. The blues were 6 to 15 pounds, and they stopped counting at 18 and there were a lot more after that. He had clam as bait.
The neatest part was that Salvatore caught his first-ever fish. They did not have the line in the water for two minutes when it went out.
When they got the 12-pound fish flopping in the boat, Salvatore wanted no parts of it, and later did not want to take a photo with it. They are from Ambler, Pa.
"I'm a proud dad and proud husband," Coniglio said.
That kind of says it all.
Tautog season has just a few days to go to Tuesday. It is closed until July after that.
Mike O'Neill provided an on-the-water report Friday from the Stray Cat at Ocean City Reef. He had a charter that enjoyed solid non-stop action all day, O'Neill said.
Fishing was good for keepers and a lot of 15-inch class undersized tog. They also had a shot of bluefish on the way out.
O'Neill has an open boat scheduled for Sunday and Monday to end the tog season.
He docks at Seaview Harbor Marina in Great Egg Inlet. Call 609-391-9630.
Solid catches of tog also have been reported at the T-Jetty and other rockpiles in Atlantic City, along the sod banks inside Great Egg, the 8th Street Jetty in Avalon and the Cape May Inlet jetties. Plus, Bob Cope on the charterboat Full Ahead out of Utsch's Marina in Cape May had a limit on Wednesday. He fishes Cape May Reef a lot.
Rob Barrett said Friday afternoon that tog, along with 3-pound blues and not-yet-in-season flounder, are also around the Route 52 Causeway piers between Somers Point and Ocean City.
Plus, he weighed a 5.38-pound weakfish at Dolfin Dock in Somers Point caught with a bucktail at high water at Beesleys Point Bridge by Stamatis Stamoulis of Egg Harbor Township.
The Press Fishing Contest launches its 60th season May 5. The contest offers $100 gift certificates at participating bait and tackle shops and marinas throughout South Jersey.
In addition, a best catch of the week will receive a bragging-rights certificate and appear on The Press Fishing Contest website.
Plus, we'll have a monthly leaderboard that posts the leaders in various species in the paper and on the website. And the entries will get regular mentions in Shep on Fishing.
The Press Fishing Contest is easy. Catch a fish, take it to a weigh station for verification and enter it online at Presscontests.com or fill out an entry form and mail it in. No signups, no entry fees.
The categories are Youth Saltwater, Youth Freshwater (under 15), Women, Seniors (65 and older), Striped Bass, Bluefish, Flounder, Offshore (beyond 3 miles), Inshore (inside 3 miles and back bays), Most Unusual.
The Press Fishing Contest continues to Oct. 31.
The first Association of Surf Angling Club tournaments is next Saturday (May 4) in Brigantine with the H.W. Shaner 51st annual event. Sign up 6-8 a.m. at the Presbyterian Church, 1501 Brigantine Blvd.
The cost is $50 or six-person teams and $10 for individuals. A daily Brigantine four-wheel drive beach access fee is $10.
The 5th Strictly Boaters Boat Show is May 3-5 at South Jersey Marina in Cape May. It is billed as a show for serious boating enthusiasts. Sea trials are part of the deal for buyers. Call Mark Allen at 609-884-2400.
One of five Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council public hearings to collect information for the "draft omnibus recreational accountability measure" is 7 p.m. May 1 at the Holiday Inn in Manahawkin, Stafford Township.
According to the MAFMC website, regulations require that a recreational overage (when the catch exceeds the annual catch limit) be paid back in a subsequent year for summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, bluefish and Atlantic mackerel. The amendment will consider alternatives to a pound-for-pound payback.

The Arc'teryx Women's Cerium LT Jacket is a down insulated coat for mid-layer or stand alone use in the backcountry. The 8.3 ounce Cerium LT is lightweight and compresses down into an included stuff sack so you can pack it and forget it until you need it. The trim fitting jacket pulls over a baselayer in cool, dry weather and a hardshell fits over top when the temperature drops further or the weather gets wet. The insulation combines synthetic Coreloft (in moisture-prone areas) and 850 fill power white goose down in areas where warmth is key. The Airetica fabric protects both insulations from the outdoors, and a durable water repellent finish helps repel water from the surface. The elastic cuffs and hem block drafts and the jacket features only two hand pockets with zippers to help cut down on weight. Bring what you need, leave the rest at home.

Bring back the MUNI 15-Third Bus line
The $700 million T-Third Street Light Rail is an abject failure.
The T-Third Street Light Rail is an abject failure.
Bring back the 15 Third MUNI bus line - it took us to work on time and to other destination too - without jumping from one Light Rail system to another mode of transportation.
That did not stop Nancy Pelosi, Willie L. Brown, and Sophie Maxwell from spewing lies and saying all the right things people want to hear - but in fact were as I have stated LIES:

No 15 stop in front of Ferlinghetti's City Lights.
No chance to visit Museums near Moscone.
Just go shopping at the Ferry Building. Yawn.
Cheese and crackers, anyone?

Sounds like you were predisposed to hate the light rail line all along.
Give it a chance, it just opened.

Any line is geared to bring the people to work or take them to their destination on time.
The T-Third Light Rail is a joke. Just ride it and I know changes can be made - but by whom and when. It adversely affects those that can read the mind of MUNI that is making changes without informing the public. The line serves the public not some idiots that work for MUNI.
The T-Third Light Rail was dumped on the Bayview Hunters Point by Willie L. Brown Jr. and he was there spewing his diatribe as usual. Watch what will happen to the Geary Blvd. Light Rail - I doubt it will move at all.
As another rider has expressed many important stops have been eliminated. The line is catering to some class of people far away from the Bayview Hunters Point and speaks to gentrification:

Mass transit gets built and people are hollering for the return of a disabled system without actually working to make the new system get up to speed. What a way to make an effective transit system. If more people that threw bombs on websites like this attended public meetings on a regular basis (which is difficult given how busy we can be and some non-convenient meeting times) there would be far better public input into things like public transit. As it is now, corporate interest get the lion's share of rewards from projects like these because they show up and get to know those who make the decisions.
Sunday Apr 15th, 2007 2:59 PM
The problems we've seen with the T-third this week cannot be excused because the line has just opened. When spending over $600 million on a major project such as this, someone should've spent the time to do some sort of scale model or computer test. Such a test would've easily revealed that there were going to be problems running this system. The fact that traffic lights give priority to cars, while delaying trains up to 20 minutes and causing ripple delays throughout the rail system is completely inexcusable. The fact that two separate boarding platforms were built for trains with the same downtown destination at the Caltrain station, forcing passengers to guess which platform will have a train depart first, is inexcusable. The fact that the switching mechanism designed to prevent collisions between trains from the J and T lines hasn't been properly calibrated and delayed trains is inexcusable. The fact that the traffic lights all along the Embarcadero have been equipped to give priority to trains, yet have never had that feature implemented, resulting in trains stopping and waiting at traffic lights is inexcusable.
Clearly Muni is not capable of designing and running a light rail system. If there is to be any benefit at all from the T-third, it must eventually be faster for most passengers then the 15 line that it replaced. Muni has no concept of people's time. What good is light rail if it's slower then the buses they replaced?
Does anyone trust Muni to build the much hyped central subway? As a frequent passenger on the 30-45 along stockton, i feel that the central subway will actually add to everybody's commute time just as the T-third did.
Sunday Apr 15th, 2007 3:38 PM
How many meetings must I attend? I have attended numerous meeting at the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA), at the MTA, the MTC, the SFCTA Commission, the Citizens Advisory Committee to the SFCTA and many more meetings.
This is a very expensive project with total lack of planning.
The two bridges one at 3rd and Cargo will fail and so will the bridge at 4th and King. The SF Department of Public Works bid on these bridges thinking they could do the job. When they found out the foundation were made of wood pilings they made a change order and gave the job to Mitchell Engineering.
Both these bridges will fail in course of time.
The alignment of the tracks have damaged several trains. Who do you think is responsible for this?
The schedule is out of whack and already graffiti is all over the place on the brand new trains and cars. Who do you think it responsible for this?
During the trial runs and some days ago - the cars have jumped the track. Who do you think is responsible for the Safety of the passengers?
The bottom line is that this line does no good to the constituents of Bayview Hunters Point.
And taking it to Castro does no good either - the line stops in the middle of no where at Visitation Valley. One would have thought this line would have been connected to Mission Street Street and further.
Some of us have paid due diligence participating at meetings and giving pertinent input - but you really cannot make sense when Bevan Dufty, Sophie Maxwell, and Jake McGoldrick - all think and believe this T-Third is functional. It is not.
We must not forget the inept SFCTA and the MTA.
The T-Third was dumped on the constituents of Bayview Hunters Point by Willie L. Brown Jr.
Over eighty percent of the 3rd Street merchants lost money during the T-Third Street Light Rail project.
Over fifty percent of the merchants on 3rd Street closed their businesses for good.
While merchants on Market Street were compensated for their loss by the Department of Transportation - thanks to the dumb, inept, arrogant Sophie Maxwell and Willie L. Brown - businesses on 3rd Street and beyond linked to the T-Third Street Light Rail were NOT compensated.
This is pure gentrification. Go take a ride and talk to the folks from the Bayview Hunters Point.
Many Asian passengers are opting to use the 9 San Bruno, the 9 Express, moving towards Mission Street to catch the 14 Mission, walking distances to catch the 44, 54 and the 23 and the 24. All buses but not the T-Third Light Rail.
It is just a matter of time when some cars will jump the tracks. Now, do not tell me that this too has to be tweaked?
Trains have been damaged and this is known in many circles. How do we tweak this fact. The trains have been damaged because of lousy alignment of the tracks costing millions to repair - only to get damaged again and again.

Ziggy & Francisco make lots of good points and it helps all of us to read them. This is certainly a gentrification project and it also appears to be a Muni privatization project as it was clearly designed to fail. After all, the engineers went to school to do things right so how come it was clearly done wrong? One explanation is that the City can throw up its hands and say, oh well, it is too expensive for us to fix, so let's give the entire bus and train system to a private contractor, which will certainly cause an increase in fares and corresponding decrease in service, thus causing people from areas far from downtown, like Bayview, to drive to downtown or to work outside San Francisco. This is insane of course because every City needs a labor force. The help wanted signs in many restaurants, bars and retail businesses are an indication that there is insufficient workingclass housing for the workingclass, and thus an insufficient labor force already. Clearly, the 15 bus needs to be restored until the problems with the T line are fixed. You will notice that the Sunday, April 15, 2007 article advertising Democratic Board of Supervisor Aaron Peskin's attack on the bus and train drivers with his proposed ballot initiative that has the support of 3 other Democrats was changed from the Saturday night version, which mentioned that safety features were "finagled" to make the system work more smoothly in the second to last paragraph where it states "While some of the problems were smoothed out midweek..." So now, people's lives are endangered and if there is ever an accident, the City is liable for tampering with any safety features. Peskin is of course a leading politician of the local Democratic Party machine and his attack on labor is part of a privatization program that we have heard discussed at least since the days of Mr. Election Fraud, organized crime thug, Willie Brown, and occasionally before. Mr. Election Fraud Democratic "mayor" Gavin Newsom could put this on the ballot himself to go with his mayoral campaign, but so far has declined. Peskin needs 2 other supervisors or he could go the signature route. This all mandates (1) the Green Party run a candidate for mayor and against Peskin's charter amendment and (2) everyone stop voting for the worthless Democrats who are exactly the same as the Republicans, paid for by the same corporations to promote the same capitalist agenda.

RGIII: Team "protecting me from myself"
Talking about the Redskins' decision not to play him today, Robert Griffin III sounded a little like Stephen Strasburg after the Nationals shut him down. He wasn't, he admitted, happy, although he realized that the team was "protecting me from myself."
Griffin was told Saturday night that Kirk Cousins would start. In fact, he tweeted about it:
The decision was not my own…But I will be there for my team!!! In every way I possibly can
— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) December 16, 2012
"Players play, so I was not happy with the decision, but at the end of the day that's the decision they went with. I respect that, but that doesn't mean I have to necessarily like it."
Could he have played?
"I felt like I could have."
What about next week? "I feel like I could play this week, next week, the week after that. But that's not my decision, once again."
Griffin said was "upset" but respected the decision.
"I understand what their viewpoint was. But I think all players know we're brought here to perform, to help our team win and that's what I'm here to do. I wanted to play and they decided I didn't need to play and it worked out great for us."
Griffin was put in the position of helping coach Cousins.
"I just talked to him about being cool, calm and collected and just not to freak out. The first half, collectively for our offense, we just couldn't find a rhythm. But we came out in the second half and put up a lot of points. That's what it takes. Everything's not going to be perfect. He did a good job staying poised and staying confident in there."
Montgomery, Polumbus injury updates
The Redskins suffered a couple of injuries along the offensive line, with Will Montgomery and Tyler Polumbus coming out of the game.
Montgomery, Mike Shanahan said, "has a strained MCL [medial collateral ligament]. We'll see how that is. I'm hoping it's not very serious. Polumbus, the other person who didn't play in the second half, had a concussion. We'll evaluate him with the concussion rules."
Montgomery is headed for an MRI. Shanahan declined to say exactly what the difference is between a sprain and a strain. In fact, he kind of joked about it, although it was hard to tell.
Shanahan: RGIII wasn't "ready" to play
Mike Shanahan went straight to the heart of the matter — the condition of injured quarterback Robert Griffin III — as he spoke with reporters after the Redskins' victory.
"Robert wanted to play. He felt he was ready. He did not want to let his teammates down, which is typical of the players. You've got London Fletcher playing when he's hurt and Trent Williams playing when he's hurt. He tried to show us everything that he could possibly do to get himself ready to play in this football game. I was so impressed with how he worked. But at the end of the day, the doctors did not feel that he was ready. That LCL [lateral cruciate ligament sprain] was just not in position for him to play a live game, so that's the reason why we kept him out."
Shanahan wouldn't say how close RGIII was to playing, reiterating that "two of the top doctors in the country" said he wasn't ready.
"I was impressed by how hard he worked. I liked what I saw. We'll be evaluating him day-by-day for next week. He had rehab today, worked extremely hard this morning for a few hours. The doctors have been very impressed by how it's come along, but I can't tell you anything until the doctors clear him."
Last night, Kirk Cousins was given the news that he'd start. In RGIII's place, Cousins bounced back from a rocky start (four straight punts) and passed for over 300 yards.
"It shows you what the guy's all about," Shanahan said. "He kept his composure. Boy, that one throw [the interception] I thought there was a little shoving right there. I thought he made the correct read, but those things are going to happen sometimes. You've got to keep your composure. You've got to fight through. I thought we did that as a football team. We didn't play one of our better halves in the first half, like we haven't over the last four or five games. There are going to be some good halves and some bad halves but at the end of the day, you've got to step up and get it done when it counts."
At 3-6 or 8-6, Shanahan's demeanor is the same. The Redskins are tied with the Giants atop the NFC East (and hold the tiebreaker) and are a half-game ahead of the Cowboys, whom they play Dec. 30. Next week, the Redskins play the Eagles.
"The main thing is we control our own destiny and we know that. Any time you can control your own destiny with two weeks left, that's all you can ask your football team to do. We've worked extremely hard to get to this point and we know the job's not one. All our focus will be on Philly."
Redskins win, control NFC East
The Washington Redskins beat the Cleveland Browns, 38-21, to move into a first-place tie in the NFC East after the New York Giants lost to the Atlanta Falcons, 34-0. Based on tiebreakers, the Redskins will win the division if they beat the Eagles and Cowboys to close the season.
Montgomery out, Lichtensteiger over
With center Will Montgomery questionable to return because of a left knee injury, Kory Lichtenteiger slides over to play the spot.
Mandi Lichtensteiger, who chronicles these things, points out on Twitter that it's "been since college."
Alfred Morris scores again
After Santana Moss fumbled but was saved by Pierre Garcon's recovery, Alfred Morris scores on an eight-yard run to give the Redskins a 38-21 lead with 5:05 left in regulation. It was the second touchdown for Morris.
Garcon recovery leads immediately to Morris rushing TD.

Browns cut margin to 31-21
Moments after the Redskins appeared to grab a commanding lead, the Browns got a 69-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Weeden to wide receiver Travis Benjamin, who beat D.J. Johnson badly down the right side, to trim the deficit to 31-21.
Playoff snapshot
The Redskins are getting what they need so far.
While the New York Giants are getting crushed 34-0 by the Falcons in Atlanta, there's a bit of a battle in Chicago, where the Green Bay Packers lead the Bears 21-13.
The Dallas Cowboys play the Pittsburgh Steelers at 4:25.
Redskins take 31-14 lead
Evan Royster's four-yard touchdown run with 11:23 left in the third quarter gives the Redskins a 31-14 lead. It was the second touchdown for the Redskins following an interception of Browns rookie QB Brandon Weeden.
Third-quarter takeaway: Defense steps up to ease pressure on offense
As they prepared for the possibility of playing without Robert Griffin III, the Redskins' defensive players said that it was on them to step up and help shoulder the load and make things easier on the offense by forcing turnovers.
On the second play of the third quarter, the defense did just that. Rob Jackson intercepted a Brandon Weeden pass and returned it to the Browns 15-yard line, and three plays later, Alfred Morris ran for his eighth touchdown of the season – tying the franchise record for rushing TDs by a rookie.
And the defense remained stout and forced Cleveland to punt again.
While the Browns appear to be regressing with shaky passes from Weeden and minimal gains by Trent Richardson, Washington's offense appears to be getting stronger.
Kirk Cousins on the following drive was 4-for-4 for 41 yards and a touchdown – a 2-yard toss to Leonard Hankerson – the first multi-touchdown game of his career.
Then, the defense came through again, late in the third quarter when London Fletcher recorded an interception – his second in as many games. It was the Redskins' sixth multi-interception game of the season (the most they've had since 2007).
Tyler Polumbus out with concussion
Right tackle Tyler Polumbus left the game with a concussion, the Redskins announced early in the second half. Polumbus appeared to be injured during one of the team's first-quarter possessions. He didn't leave the game, however.
After halftime, Polumbus wasn't on the field or sideline, and Jordan Black was in his place at right tackle.
Shortly after, the team announced Polumbus' injury and that he wouldn't return.
It's the first time this season that one of Washington's offensive linemen have suffered a concussion.
Polumbus has started every game at right tackle. Black had seen time at left tackle in Week 3 when Trent Williams injured his knee, but since then, hadn't played outside of special teams.

Kirk Cousins tosses second touchdown
The Redskins get a second touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Leonard Hankerson for a 24-14 lead with 7:40 left in the third quarter. Cousins executed a play-action fake to Evan Royster and threw to a wide-open Hankerson for the two-yard score.

Alfred Morris gives Redskins lead, 17-14
Rookie running back Alfred Morris scores on a three-yard carry to provide the Redskins a 17-14 lead early in the third quarter. Morris's touchdown comes three plays after linebacker Rob Jackson came down with an interception to give Washington excellent field position.

Rob Jackson comes down with interception
Redskins linebacker Rob Jackson intercepts Brandon Weeden on the first series of the second half. Washington has the ball on the Browns 15.
Second quarter takeaway: Play-action works briefly, but Browns take lead on long drive
The Redskins' offense managed to move the ball at a better rate early in the second quarter after finishing the first quarter off on a positive note. In the second quarter, they outgained the Browns 98-89.
The play-action game set up the Redskins for success. The Browns are biting hard on any fake handoff to Alfred Morris. And that has set up Cousins to make plays under less pressure. In the second quarter, he completed nine of 12 passes for 98 yards. But the Redskins managed only three points in the second quarter, and trail 14-10 after yielding a nine-play, 75-yard touchdown drive capped by Trent Richardson's second touchdown of the game.
Trent Richardson scores again
After being ruled down by replay on what initially was called a three-yard scoring run, Browns rookie RB Trent Richardson reaches the end zone easily from one yard to give Cleveland a 14-10 lead.

After ugly start, Cousins puts Redskins on the board
The first quarter ended with the score tied 7-7 despite a shaky start for the Kirk Cousins-led Redskins.
Asked about the opportunity to make his first NFL start earlier this week, Cousins said he was excited, but added that "It's more time to screw up," and on only the Redskins' second possession of the game, Cousins threw an interception that led to Cleveland's first touchdown.
Cousins had thrown incompletions on his first two attempts (one on the first possession, and the second on the next series). On his third pass, Cousins forced a throw to Pierre Garcon, who was in triple coverage. The rookie quarterback locked in on Garcon, and the defensive backs read his pass perfectly. Sheldon Brown got inside position on Garcon, and he nearly picked off the pass, but instead deflected it into the hands of safety T.J. Ward, who returned the pass 32 yards to the Washington 6. On the next play, Trent Richardson powered his way into the end zone for his 10th touchdown of the year.
The next offensive series ended with another punt. On that possession, the offensive line didn't do much to help protect the rookie. On third-and-6, Tyler Polumbus got abused by defensive end Jabaal Sheard, who sacked Cousins for a nine-yard loss.
All season long the Redskins' line has struggled in drop-back passing situations. But the thing that has helped masked their deficiencies is the mobility and quick reactions of Robert Griffin III. Cousins wasn't able to get rid of the ball and got planted into the grass.
The Redskins' first four possessions didn't yield a single first down. Those series looked like this: three plays, five yards; three plays, 0 yards; three plays -5 yards; three plays, 2 yards.
The fifth possession finally yielded positive results.
Cousins faked to Alfred Morris on the stretch play to the left, rolled back to his right and threw downfield to Leonard Hankerson, who had gotten behind three defenders, made a juggling catch before he hit the ground, and then rolled up and trotted into the end zone to tie the score with 2:16 left.
That play demonstrated why it's important for Morris to remain productive. Even though he had only five carries for 12 yards at that point, the Browns had to respect him, and bit hard on the run fake, which freed up Cousins to make the throw without any pressure bearing down on him.
About that TD pass…

Beautiful throw from Kirk Cousins
Quarterback Kirk Cousins finally makes a play, putting the ball right on hands of wide receiver Leonard Hankerson for a 54-yard touchdown reception with 2:16 left in the first quarter to tie it a 7.
Perhaps that throw will give Cousins more confidence.
Redskins offense melting down
The Redskins have four possessions with no first downs and seven total yards. Could be a long day while Robert Griffin III heals.
Defense doing its job so far today. Redskins offense needs to figure it out.
— The Insider (@Insider) December 16, 2012
Another poor Redskins series
The Browns are forcing the Redskins into third and long, and quarterback Kirk Cousins isn't able to make the throws amid a heavy pass rush that has no regard for the rookie being able to scramble for yards. A lot different rushing Cousins than Robert Griffin III.
Offensive line has been helped all year by Griffin's mobility. Cousins doesn't have that. #Redskins

Winning on first down may make difference
The Cleveland Browns are going to try to force Kirk Cousins to beat them, so for the Redskins, that means winning on first down and keeping the rookie quarterback out of third-and-long situations. That throw on third and five in the first series wasn't good.
Time to load up on Alfred Morris
With quarterback Kirk Cousins making his first start, expect fellow rookie Alfred Morris to get plenty of work, perhaps even 30-plus touches. If the Redskins can get the running game going, play-action should work to Pierre Garcon, assuming Cousins can make accurate throws.

Fantasy focus: Redskins at Browns
With Robert Griffin III on the bench with a sprained knee, Kirk Cousins gets the nod at quarterback, meaning owners who are thinking about starting Pierre Garcon, Santana Moss, Josh Morgan or any Redskins wide receiver should look for other options unless completely desperate. Alfred Morris remains a high-end RB1, but the Cleveland Browns will focus on stopping the rookie sensation and forcing Cousins to beat them, so temper expectations. The Browns, meantime, may give Montario Hardesty some touches at running back, but Trent Richardson owners shouldn't be too concerned. The No. 3 overall pick still will get enough touches to make him a low-end RB1. WR Josh Gordon is a sneaky play here against the No. 31 pass defense.

Good move to rest Robert Griffin III?
The Redskins confirmed last night that Kirk Cousins will start in place of ailing Robert Griffin III. Cousins' first NFL start comes on the heels of a four-game winning streak that has the team in the thick of the playoff chase and in the mix for a division title too. What are your thoughts on the Redskins' decision?
Week 15: Redskins at Browns
Welcome to The Post's Redskins live blog where we'll continue to track this afternoon's game against the Cleveland Browns. Starting in place of ailing Robert Griffin III, who has a sprained knee from last week's 31-28 overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens, Redskins fellow rookie QB Kirk Cousins has 146 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Browns have a pair of rushing touchdowns by rookie running back Trent Richardson. Boxscore

Jamaicans Denville Clarke and Kenroy Williams had been in Canada for mere days in August 2012 when the van carrying them and seven other foreign workers rolled over on the way to a southern Ontario farm.
Another of the seasonal labourers was killed, Mr. Clarke and Mr. Williams suffered serious injuries and the driver was charged. The pair say they required treatment well after they were supposed to return home at the end of harvest season.
An Ontario court has just ruled, however, that their medicare coverage ended when their work visas expired that December, leaving them potentially on the hook for months of health-care costs.
The case raises new questions about one of the federal government's controversial temporary-worker programs, with the Divisional Court suggesting that rule changes are needed if Canadians want to fund extended medical care for such workers.
In the meantime, provincial regulations make it clear that coverage by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) lasts only until a worker's visa is up, said a three-member panel of the court in a judgement this month.
It overturned a decision by a health appeal board that granted the Jamaicans a right to medicare, calling that ruling unreasonable.
"Under [the injured men's] interpretation, any seasonal worker who simply keeps possession of the original work permit could have OHIP coverage essentially in perpetuity," wrote Justice Ian Nordheimer.
The federal government's Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) cannot alter provincial regulations, "especially ones that create fiscal responsibilities and liabilities," he said.
If there is a gap in the case of seriously injured workers, it needs to be fixed by requiring employers to obtain extra health insurance or a change in government policy, not by "contrived" rulings from legal bodies, said Justice Nordheimer.
Maryth Yachnin, lawyer for Mr. Clarke and Mr. Williams, said her clients requested that she not comment on the case, which could still be appealed.
The Ontario Health Ministry also declined to comment, a spokesman saying the case is still before the courts.
The ruling essentially means any foreigner here on a work or student visa ceases to receive medical coverage once their permit expires — even if they have a visitor's visa or extenuating circumstances. And that probably make sense, said Sergio Karas, a Toronto immigration lawyer.
"We can't make these allowances for people who do not have a legal right to work or study in Canada," he said. "In which countries can visitors avail themselves of public health care? It's unheard of."
Mr. Clarke and Mr. Williams arrived on Aug. 2, 2012 with 100 other Jamaicans, heading to work with Chary Produce Ltd., south of Brantford, Ont., which produces various vegetables.
The accident occurred a week later, the van rolling over several times and the passenger who died thrown out of the vehicle, according to media reports.
It was reminiscent of a horrific van crash just months earlier in another part of southern Ontario, when 11 seasonal poultry workers from Peru were killed.
Mr. Williams received neck, chest and lower back injuries and a mild concussion, while Mr. Clarke suffered from whiplash and a spine injury, their treatment initially covered by both workers compensation and medicare. When their temporary work visa expired that December and they still needed treatment, both obtained visitor visas from the federal government.
OHIP refused to extend their coverage, however. Ontario's Health Services Appeal and Review Board overturned that decision, but the province appealed.

"Charming Pip takes on a life of Great Expectatons"
Sincere, sweet, charming, in Dickens quality; very straightforward in style as the narrator explains how he is destined for Great Expectations. The first time this is spoken in the audio Pip's world expands beyond all worldly possessions [happy sigh!]. This audio was suberb in quality, the reading was wonderful-thank you. Among other rankings in my library, this is high up on the list of most valuable.
I won't ruin the end because it was so great, but the funny moments in between when Pip's sister's husband Joe interacts with Pip. Joe is so simplistic in nature. Every time he enters the story you are sure to get a laugh.
Yes, they are all equally superb!
Estella......their interaction was particularly touching. From the moment the two met, each time they'd meet again and most certainly the ending. Unexpected....
"Does Dickens Justice, and How"
I couldn't be more delighted with the reader of this funny, ever heartbreaking, lushly written story. The opening chapter captures the terror, bafflement, and resigned victimhood that comprise being a little child among we thoughtless big folks better than any other author ever could or will. Just a gem, to dip into like listening to favorite music.
"Don't Miss It"
Dickens is, of course, wonderful, but so is Frank Muller, the narrator. It is disconcerting that Audible bills this as one of its children books. It's not. Whether you've read this book before or not, this presents 13 hours of pure pleasure.
"Good Voices"
I never quite got through this book in the past. Listening to the story on a long trip made the trip so much shorter. The narrator did a very good job with the different voices but there was one I couldn't understand easily.
"It is Dickens"
loved the story and the reading. very interesting and amazingly current story. the snobbery that can come from bettering yourself.
"Wonderful classic"
some funny
some sad
some unexpected
worth reading on rainy days
I think I like the original ending better
"Was as good as it's title"
Great book, great performance by my favorite narrator. Will save to listen to again.
"Another One Out Of The Park"
Dickens, you continue to amaze me. Muller, couldn't do better. So glad I walked there with both of you.
"First time I really "read" Dickens. A master."
Frank Muller allowed me to direct and observe the "movie" he and Charles Dickens made with his words. I felt as if I was observing Ms. Havisham, Estella, Joe, Mr. Magwich, etc. In my mind they were so real and touchable, it was frightful at times. Thank you Charles Dickens and Mr. Muller.
The interception of their boat on the river.
Estella and Pip in the garden, near the end.
The hospital scene between Mr. Magwich and Pip.
I had read this book as a child in middle school. Now, after hearing it read by Mr. Muller, it all became real. A beautiful listen.
Tired teacher. That is, REtired teacher.
"What a Great Story!"
I have always loved Dickens since I read Oliver Twist while in high school. I love the interpersonal relationships and the character development. But his descriptions and the beauty of his prose is what keeps me coming back for more!
As far as narrators, Frank Muller is about as good as it gets. There are many narrations of this book to choose from, but you would be hard pressed to find a better one than this one.

We recommend the following for international students entering the United States:
1. Hand carry (do not check) the following documents:
2. Inform the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer at the port of entry that you will be a new or returning international student at the University of Miami. The immigration official should stamp "F-1 D/S" on your passport and I-20, and return all your documents to you.
3. Report to the Intensive English Program on the program start date indicated on your acceptance letter.
Most IEP students stay in a hotel for their first few days in Miami until they find a place to live. If you need to travel from Miami International Airport to a hotel or other destination in Miami, we are happy to help you schedule an airport pickup service at the Miami International Airport. We recommend Airport Super Express. The pickup service will cost $60 and is nonrefundable.
A taxi from the airport to the Coral Gables area will cost you around $20-25 dollars. It is common practice in the U.S. to tip taxi drivers about 10% of the bill. There is a taxi stand at the Miami airport. However, the shuttle option is helpful if you want someone to meet you at baggage claim and if you are very nervous about your English ability.
The Intensive English Program can arrange your airport pickup service from the Miami International Airport. The pickup service costs $60; it must be prepaid and is non refundable. If your flight is delayed the pickup service is not guaranteed.

SIX Laning of delhi-Dehradun National Highway
April 24, 2008
Delhi-Dehradun stretch of NH-58 & 72 has been identified for 4/6-laning under National Highways Development Project (NHDP) Phase III on Build, Operate & Transfer (BOT) mode based on the criteria of high density of traffic and connectivity of State capitals with corridors of NHDP Phase I & II . The present status of this stretch is as under:
- Delhi-Meerut section of NH-58 is already 4-laned and preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) for 6-laning is in progress.
- The work of 4-laning of Meerut-Muzaffarnagar section of NH-58 on BOT basis is in progress and targeted for completion by March, 2009.
- The work of 4-laning of Muzaffarnagar-Haridwar section could not be awarded as only single bid was received and the same was cancelled. For re-bidding of this section, updation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) as per new Model Concession Agreement (MCA) as decided by Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee (PPPAC) is in progress. The Haridwar-Dehradun section is passing through Rajaji National Park and clearance is to be obtained from the Central Empowered Committee constituted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. After clearance from Central Empowered Committee and PPPAC, bidding process is to be taken up for award of 4-laning work. It is too early to indicate the completion time of 4-laning work of Muzaffarnagar-Haridwar-Dehradun section at this stage. However, the same may not be completed by 2010 keeping in view the time taken in obtaining the clearance from Central Empowered Committee & PPPAC as well as response of bidders.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Shipping, Road Transport and Highways, Shri K.H. Muniyappa in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.

It is very surprising that nothing has happened since 2008 on the Mujjafarnagar – Dehradun Highway. I have few. I will be thankful if someone can help me understand the answers :
1) If the road does not have to pass through the Rajaji National park then what is the alternative route ?
2) If there is no alternative route then why has it taken 4 years to seek permissions ?
3) There is a road currently from Roorkee to Chutmalpur to Dehradun. Why can't this be converted to a four lane highway ?
4) There is a tunnel on the way from Chutmalpur to Dehradun which is in a mess.
Why can't the goverment make another tunnel so that there is one way traffic in each tunnel ?
5) Existing tunnel is in bad physical shape. Top is badly scraped by the trucks and buses. Who is noticing this or is the government waiting for this to collapse and then wake up to reality ?

I wanted to write you this little word to be able to thank you very much as before for all the fantastic opinions you've contributed on this page. It is quite strangely open-handed with people like you to grant publicly exactly what many individuals could have distributed as an e book to end up making some dough for their own end, especially given that you could possibly have done it if you wanted. The good ideas also acted like a great way to fully grasp other people have the identical keenness similar to my own to see many more with reference to this problem. Certainly there are millions of more pleasurable sessions ahead for those who browse through your blog.
Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is an extremely well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I will certainly return.
You completed a few fine points there. I did a search on the theme and found nearly all people will agree with your blog.

Indiana Regional Medical Center is one of six community hospitals selected by the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI) to participate in their three-year innovation grant from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) to implement a Primary Care Resource Center (PCRC) model of care in a network of independent community hospitals and their aligned physician practices.
That's a lot of acronyms and initials. What does it mean to IRMC and more importantly, to you?
The principle goal of this initiative is to reduce the number of 30-day readmissions.
That means we want to get you healthy and keep you healthy — the first time.
It's important for you because no one wants to go back to the hospital once they've been discharged for any reason other than a follow-up visit.
It's important for IRMC because we will be reimbursed based on our ability to provide exceptional patient care.
The PCRC will serve as an extension of primary care practices, improving the transitions of care from the hospital to outpatient care for target patient populations at risk for high readmissions (patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, and acute myocardial infarctions), ensuring they continue to get the medical and other services they need in order to keep them from returning to the hospital.
How does IRMC plan to do this?
By employing nurse care coordinators and a pharmacist, we will take a proactive approach to your discharge and your home care.
The PCRC will serve as the "home base" for the management of patients with the target diseases.
The PCRC team will meet with the patient upon admission, follow their progress and then work to ensure a smooth discharge.
Each patient will be educated by PCRC staff on the management of their disease, receive medication reconciliation by the PCRC pharmacist, have follow-up appointments made, and a home visit or PCRC appointment scheduled — all before the patient leaves the hospital.
Communication with the patients' primary care physician office helps to keep patients on track with treatment plan.
The PCRC also offers services that primary care providers may not have the resources to provide, such as smoking cessation, nutrition counseling, anticoagulant management, inhaler training and more.
We all need help sometimes.
You are worth it.

Besides the fact that just 1 natural disaster such as a major Volcanic eruption spews more toxic materials than all the people the world over and would fix all the warming problems by cooling the earth off!
And I'll just say one more thing, remember the Tsunami in 04? It's was so powerful it knocked the Earth from its axis by 1 degree, so a lot of the changing weather patterns, such as Western Washington actully getting snow this year, were probably forced by that rather then Global Warming...oohhhhh!
I'm not saying mother nature has no bearing here, and that warming trends haven't happened in the past. This we know is true, but nobody can convince me that this trend isn't at least partially caused by the state of our environment. Isn't the reason for these crazy weather patterns & mega storms not caused by the depleted ozone layer to begin with? I'm thinking this is quickly becoming our new reality.
What isn't normal is the levels of toxins & mercury in our lakes. Gin clear water in our un-inhabited lakes and sign postings/charts of what size fish are consumable.
What isn't normal is the depleted ozone layer.
What isn't normal is clearly visible smog over our cities (not just LA)
All of the above are directly related to emissions (ok...not so much about solvents, but you get the idea)
This isn't a debate...just stating the obvious. We can't keep hiding our heads in the sand saying: "it will cost too much, its too late or its just a trend".

Americans believe human rights are the most important issue in relations between Beijing and Washington, according to the first Chinese-led study of US attitudes towards the country, released Sunday.
Beijing has invested heavily in promoting its image abroad, from hosting multi-billion dollar extravaganzas like the 2008 Olympics to this month's promotional ad blitz in New York's Times Square.
But the study found that 80 percent of Americans think Beijing restricts human rights, which researchers at Shanghai's Jiaotong University said revealed "fundamental ideological differences between the United States and China".
The survey was released a week after President Hu Jintao went on a state visit to the US.
In the study, more than two-thirds of Americans -- 67.4 per cent -- said promoting and defending human rights should be a high priority for Washington in deciding policies toward China.
Another 20.4 percent said they were a moderate priority, according to the survey conducted with help from Duke University and Indiana University, and only 12 percent said human rights were a low priority.
After human rights, respondents felt strongest about promoting a healthy environment as a policy aim, with 65.3 percent calling it a high priority and 22.6 percent making it a moderate priority.
Americans were most ambivalent about increasing trade between the two countries, with 29.3 percent saying it was a high priority and exactly the same percentage calling it a low priority.
However, 59.3 percent said they believed cutting offtrade with Chinawould hurt the US economymore than it would hurt China.
More than three quarters -- 77 percent -- expect China's influence in the world to continue to grow over the next 10 years.
The survey was based on a random sample of 810 respondents interviewed by Indiana University's Centre for Survey Research in the summer of last year, with researchers at Jiaotong University analysing the findings.
The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent.

Warp's latest signing is the rapper/producer Jeremiah Jae. To mark the occasion, he's dropped a new mixtape which can be streamed/downloaded for free at snd.sc/1c6EBwH and ind.pn/163xb7p. The nine-track Bad Jokes mixtape trundles along in a haze of snippets, samples and Jae's tranquil, pop-culture-laden raps in one blunted, weed-infused sound, largely produced by the man himself. South Californian beat-scene influences abound throughout, as evinced by Flying Lotus showing up with production on one track.
