My son Caden Ivory has autism and this program is amazing. This is his 3rd year at summer camp and will be our 2nd year for football camp. They offer so much to parents and children and are so wonderful. We will keep coming back to the amazing programs they have to offer. Thank you, Karen Ivory (Scooby Doo) Facebook name.
Working with Project SEARCH over the last 3 + years has been an amazing experience. Seeing the work that Easter Seals and their staff do to help individuals with disabilities is absolutely wonderful. The dedication to their mission is second to none.
My son participated in Project Search through Easter Seals. This program gave my son the education and tools to become an independent working adult. It not only prepared him for the work force, it prepared him in the necessary skills for success in life. He developed self confidence and self worth that no other program has achieved. As parents who were worried as to how our son would function when we were no longer available for him, we are now confident that he will always have the resources he needs through Easter Seals.
I was in the project SEARCH program and I thought this helped me find out what i wanted to do in life. now i and woring in facilities operations in childrens hospital of wisconsin and i have even got promoted to a full technitian status. i still use the knowledge and the guidence that the program provided me with and it has helped me better myself in many ways even outside of my work emviorment. i would like to give a big thanks to the easter seals staff for the help[ that they gave me in the progarm.

My son has mild autism and ADHD. He participated in Easter Seals " Project Search". This is a job training program for help young adults with disabilities. He completed the internship in June. By mid-July, he was hired by a local hospital. The job is a great fit. The program was also helpful socially. Friendships do not come easily to my son. He made several friends during the program. They continue even though the internship is over. Easter Seals provided a wonderful service to our family!
My son have been receiving services from the Easter Seals staff for the past few years. They have been so great to work with and have helped my son to achieve meaningful work that he is extremely proud of!
Easter Seals has supported my mother in many ways over the last few years First with providing the assistance she needed to remain living independently in her apartment until she was 86 years old and now assisting our family in her ongoing care. Their commitment to excellence in their services and the dedication of their staff is fantastic. They also served my son with special needs in a vocational program for employment and with the support of their staff and job coaches he has a great job that he loves. Their services span all ages and all needs and we are grateful to be part of the Easter Seals family.
Easter Seals SE WI has a great focus on their mission and serving people using best resouces available. We try to always have an eye on the future and looking at opportunities

As a board member for this important organization, we must consider many stakeholders in our overall leadership approach. I have found Easter Seals - Southeast WI to caring, thoughtful and impactful on peoples lives. Every so often, I will run into an individual who has used services from Easter Seals, and I will see a big smile and hear a Thank You. Please consider your support of our organization
My son has been mentored by Easter Seals staff to get a job in the community. Through all his job coaching and help with his resume and very prompt communication, he now is working with very good results. He no longer needs a job coach. I was very impressed with the staff who has assisted him to get to this point. Jaime has been top notch!
Easter Seal Southeast Wisconsin adopted a slice of our Good Harvest Secret Garden this past season, and it was a tremendous success! Responsibility consisted of planting, weeding and harvesting produce from the adopted slice of the garden. The participation was 110% and dependable! Our staff was thrilled to work with each and every individual! East Seals was exceptional to partner with, and NuGenesis is rallying to have them back again next season.

Drug agents sue NBC over "American Gangster"
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three former Drug Enforcement Administration agents filed a $55 million defamation lawsuit against the movie studio that made "American Gangster" on Wednesday, claiming it tarnished hundreds of reputations.
The film follows the rise and fall of former Harlem heroin kingpin Frank Lucas, portrayed by Denzel Washington. His empire undercut the price and quality of heroin sold by the Mafia and when he was caught, Lucas turned informant.
Former DEA agents Louis Diaz, Gregory Korniloff and Jack Toal said NBC Universal, the owner of Universal Studios, falsely claimed the movie was based on a true story and misrepresented the events surrounding Lucas and New Jersey Detective Richard Roberts, depicted by Russell Crowe.
The movie hurt the agents' reputations by falsely claiming in text at the end that a collaboration between Lucas and Roberts "led to the convictions of three-quarters of New York City's Drug Enforcement Agency" agents between 1973 and 1985, according to the suit, which seeks class action status.
"With this utterly false and defamatory statement, the defendant has ruined and impugned the reputations of these honest and courageous public servants in the eyes of millions of people," the suit said.
NBC Universal, owned by General Electric, denied the allegations, saying: "American Gangster does not defame these, or any, federal agents."
"The end legend specifically refers to members of 'New York City's Drug Enforcement Agency' -- not the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, where the plaintiffs formerly worked. We believe the lawsuit is entirely without merit," NBC Universal said.
The lawsuit said the public believed the film's text referred to federal DEA agents, not police officers, and regardless, no New York police officers were convicted as a result of Lucas' cooperation. Continued...

Cardenas Bounced in Round of 16
CLU junior advances to sweet sixteen
CLAREMONT, Calif. – Cal Lutheran junior Moises Cardenas was on both sidesof some luck during the NCAA Division III Men's Tennis Championship Thursday.
In his round of 32 match against Alex Ruderman of Emory, Cardenas benefited from a double-fault serving error on match point. In the round of 16, Cal Lutheran's lone qualifier was held in check by Wade Heerboth of Kenyon and was bounced from the tournament.
Facing third seeded Ruderman, Cardenas wasted no time jumping out in front, taking the first set 6-3. In the second set, Cardenas couldn't quite hold on for the win as Ruderman took the set tie-breaker 7-5 and forced a final set. The two would play back and forth before Ruderman served twice into the net on the final point, giving Cardenas the upset. The win over Ruderman also marked the fourth upset of the round of 32.
Unfortunately, Cardenas would see his run and his season come to an end as Heerboth won the round of 16 match in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2.
Cardenas finishes 18-5 in his debut season. The single championships will continue on Friday with action taking place at Biszantz Family Tennis Courts in Claremont, Calif.

PORTLAND, ME – The Eastern League is pleased to announce the winners of the Eastern League Player of the Week Award and Eastern League Pitcher of the Week Award for the period of Aug. 4 through Aug. 10:
Duke von Schamann, a right-handed starting pitcher for the Akron RubberDucks, has been selected as the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the period of August 4th-August 10th. The 6'5", 220 lb. hurler made two starts for the RubberDucks last week and had a record of 2-0 with five strikeouts and a 2.57 ERA. Von Schamann, who is a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, made his first start of the week on Tuesday night against the visiting New Britain Rock Cats and gave up two runs on seven hits while striking out four batters over seven innings to earn the win in Akron's 3-2 victory. In his second start of the week von Schamann scattered four hits and gave up two runs over seven innings to pick up the win in Akron's 9-3 victory over the visiting New Hampshire Fisher Cats on Sunday. The 23-year old tied for the league lead in wins (2) and innings pitched (14.0) last week and finished ranked sixth in WHIP (0.79) after not walking a batter in either of his starts last week. Duke, who has a record of 7-6 with a 3.76 ERA in 21 games, 17 starts, for the RubberDucks this season, was acquired by the Cleveland Indians in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 6, 2014. He was originally selected by the Dodgers in the 15th round of the 2012 draft out of Texas Tech University.
Trenton Thunder first baseman Greg Bird has been selected as the Eastern League Player of the Week for the period of August 4th-August 10th. The 21-year old hit .421 (8-for-19) with two doubles, three home runs, eight runs scored, three RBI, four walks and a 1.000 slugging percentage in six games for the Thunder last week. Bird, who is a native of Aurora, Colorado, kicked off his week by homering in back-to-back wins over Altoona on Tuesday and Wednesday at ARM & HAMMER Park. Bird's homer on Tuesday night was his first career Double-A hit after receiving a promotion from Class-A Tampa on August 2nd. He followed that up by going 4-for-4 and hitting a pair of homers in a 7-3 win on Wednesday afternoon. The 6'3", 215 lb. slugger led all Eastern League hitters in runs scored (8), slugging percentage (1.000) and OPS (1.542) last week and tied for the lead in extra-base hits (5). He also ranked among the weekly leaders in total bases (19-2nd), home runs (3-tied 2nd), doubles (2-tied 2nd), on-base percentage (.542-3rd), hits (8-tied 3rd) and batting average (.421-5th). Greg, who is rated by MLB.com as the 12th best prospect in the Yankees organization, was selected by the New York Yankees in the fifth round of the 2011 draft out of Grandview High School in Aurora, Colorado.

Cal 25 engine storage "bulkhead" - structural?
The half bulkhead in the starboard lazarette that was originally used to store the outboard when not in use and other wood near the bottom of the rudder post on my Cal 25 was completely rotted out. In the process of cutting away the compost, I noticed that it wasn't even attached to the underside of the cockpit sole. For that matter it only extended to the centerline of the boat. This got me thinking that it was only there for engine storage and wasn't a necessary structural member, so I removed it entirely.
So the question is, should I replace it? I'm racing in the local Cal 25 class. Am I violating class rules if I don't, or if I replace it with a full-width bulkhead?

Financial Software Questions? Ask IT Support for Answers ASAP
for quicken
I already knew that I could buy a new program from quicken. In thepast Quicken would offer a download service to regular customers. Or I thought you might have a way of getting this data via the computer. I will know better in the future. Quicken is not interested in service for the customer.

I think that Quicken should have a service to download this info without paying $18.00 for your "technical" answer. This is just another case of big business greed.

The idea of free Internet for all Americans looks good on screen, but the concept also raises crucial questions. And for the past few years, as cities across the country jumped on the broadband wagon, many government IT leaders kept getting stuck on the first and most important one: How?
Since 2005, various U.S. cities from Philadelphia to Houston have announced plans for Wi-Fi networks only to turn around and cancel them later because of lack of funding or subscription support. Many local governments refused to be anchor tenants because they didn't want to commit to buying a specified volume of service.
Not all municipal Wi-Fi networks fell flat. Some cities have succeeded in delivering broadband service to the public. For instance, first responders in New York can access files through the $500 million high-speed New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN), built and operated for the next five years by Northrop Grumman Corp. Other areas such as Bristol, Va. and Corpus Christi, Texas, have also developed thriving models of a public network.
These success stories prove that municipal Wi-Fi can indeed work, but that doesn't mean there's only one way to solve the problem of the digital divide. In the past few months, two major cities have illustrated two very different ways in which a city can make that big connection.
On one side, there's Philadelphia, where IT officials announced in December 2009 that they would build the network themselves, more than a year after the EarthLink deal fell through. After their private model flopped, IT officials decided a public Wi-Fi neftwork would better serve the city by enhancing mobile applications and access for building inspectors, code enforcers and emergency responders.

Karen, over at Chookooloonks, does what she calls "Love Thursday." Every week on this day, she posts something that has to do with love and her posts, whether long or short, always inspire me. While I'm not ready to add another theme day to my blog (I've already got Monday Memes and Ten Things Tuesday as regular features), I'm going to boost Karen's idea for today. Every once in a while, I'm struck by how incredibly wonderful some of the people in my life really are, and I'm going to share some of that here with you today.
Let's start with Elaina, the Front Desk Goddess at CHS. This woman is about sixteen different shades of delightful. You know how I say that one of the reasons I'm so happy in my marriage is that I get to laugh every day? Well, one of the reasons I'm so happy in my job is because I get to laugh with this woman every day. Elaina and I giggle Every. Single. Day. Sometimes, all it takes is a look – she'll glance sideways at me or I'll come into her office and roll my eyes at her, and we're off. She listens to all my "you-can't-make-this-shit-up" stories and starts laughing long before I get to the punchline. We share little conspiratorial conversations by the copy machine that end in our chuckling long after I take my copies and leave her office. She's a lot of fun.
More than that, she knows her shit. She's got the office running like the proverbial well-oiled machine. She's got the kids under control (don't even TRY to sneak into the space before 7:30, and forget sneaking in after 7:45 without signing the tardy log!). She knows where everything is and knows when something is running low. She's got paperwork, newsletters, email addresses and phone numbers in her complete and unyielding command. She's ON it.
Being in this woman's presence is always a delight. She is a major reason why I love working at CHS, and I'm so glad that she is such a big part of my professional life.

The idea of paying no deductible if linked to a car accident might appear like an car insurance dream. When it comes to car insurance what is important most folks are concerned about may be the cost. That is the other reason the realization this is really a legal contract matters a lot -for the reason that real risk comes from the need to spend third damages which can be significant, of course, if not protected by an insurance plan would be financially crippling for a lot of people. vwfAzEq, [url=http://www.igetcheapcarinsurance.com/auto-insurance-rate-comparison-ontario/]auto insurance rate comparison ontario[/url], putBKXa, [url=http://www.igetcheapcarinsurance.com/compare-motor-vehicle-insurance-rates/]compare motor vehicle insurance rates[/url], zwHHqpi, [url=http://www.igetcheapcarinsurance.com/new-auto-insurance-laws-ontario-2013/]new auto insurance laws ontario 2013[/url], anDreyt,

As you're on the point of herald a fresh life into your own, this is really a time brimming with anticipation, nervous excitement and concern. A policy terminates if the insured individual expires and rewards will likely then be passed on towards the living beneficiaries. 2) Check around for that best price and policy provisions. kPEkkmQ, best life insurance for seniors in canada, qWLvwHC, term life insurance rates, RwmuhUB, tata aig life insurance term plan premium calculator, suaLEWB,

Backpack Regina, Saskatchewan
Despite it's funny sounding name, and the fact that it is more or less in the middle of nowhere, there is plenty to see and do if you happen to find yourself in the heart of the Prairies. Regina is a unique city,combining the small town feel of many rural communities with a thriving urban feel. Spend some time and check out all Regina has to offer. Check out the RCMP headquarters and Wascana Park, or roll the dice at Casino Regina. If the city life isn't your thing, take a drive through the flatlands, fields, or stop by one of the 100 000 different lakes. First things first, let's find you someplace to stay.
Turgeon International Hostel – HI Hostel
This is the only hostel found in Regina, so be sure to book ahead. The hostel is a converted old Victoria House, designated a Municipal Heritage Property, with all the old creaks you would expect to find in a 100 year old home. It is located right downtown, with 2 hour street parking right in front, and parking all night until 10:00am. Free parking can be found a few blocks away as well. Keep in mind, all parking is free in Regina on weekends and after 5:00pm. One block from the Turgeon International Hostel is the picturesque Wascana Park, which I highly recommend.
The hostel offers private rooms, a family room, and the infamous dorimtory style accommodation one can expect in any hostel. The Turgeon has showers, a TV lounge, dining area, laundry facilities, lockers, free internet, library, and a good sized self-catering kitchen which is fully equipped for your cooking needs. The hostel is open from February 1st to December 23rd. Check-in hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., extended hours in July and August.
2310 McIntyre Street
Regina, SK S4P 2S2
(306) 791-8160
Wascana Park
Wascana Park is easily one of the most beautiful parks you'll find in any city across Canada. Wascana Park was officially established in the early 60's. The park is 9.3 square kilometres (2300 acres) large. The park has a unique location, in that it brings together buildings owned by the City of Regina, University of Regina, and the Province of Saskatchewan. The park was designed by the Seattle architect Minoru Yamasaki, famous for the design of the original World Trade Center in New York. The name "Wascana" is derived from the Cree word "Oscana", which translates to "pile of bones". In reference to the bison bones scattered around Wascana Creek before this area was populated by non-indigenous peoples.
Wascana Park is proud to house many amenities for Park go-ers. A large Waterfowl Park provides refuge for ducks, geese, and many other birds. Take a walk to the North Shore of Wascana Lake, where you'll find one of a few Speakers Corners in Canada. Surrounded by gas lamps brought in from London, it's hard to miss. There are a handfuls of museums and art galleries around the park, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the Saskatchewan Science Centre, the Norman MacKenzie Art Gallery, the Conexus Arts Centre, the Provincial Legislative Building (known locally as the Ledge), Darke Hall Theatre and Concert venue, as well as many other historic buildings. Canoeing and Kayaking can still be done on Wascana Lake during the summer. Throughout the summer there are several concerts and festivals held within the park. Easily worth a day of checking out.
Casino Regina
Fancy yourself a gambler? Stop by Casino Regina, a converted Union Station, where trains ran up until 1990. The casino houses over 800 slot machines, 35 game tables, 8 table poker room and an 800 seat show lounge. There are also regularly scheduled Union Station historic tours. The building still contains old railway police jail cells within the basement that were used for transporting prisoners, as well as evidence of a tunnel representing a system of underground passages which apparently stretch a handful of blocks east of Casino Regina and south all the way to Hotel Saskatchewan. Many believe they were used for illegal activities years back, likely for rum running during prohibition. Drop some money and check it out, or if gambling isn't your cup of tea, check out one of the many acts in the Show Lounge. Well worth an evening out.
Ice Skating in Downtown Victoria Park
If you happen to find yourself in Regina during the winter, which many people will tell you is suicide if you're not acustom to the prairie winters, check out downtowns Victoria Park. The park turns into a massive skating rink, free for public use. The city does an amazing job with Christmas lights, decorations, as well as music. If the cold gets to be too much, take a walk to one of the many coffee shops downtown, and warm up to a hot cup of cider, coffee, or tea. Or head down Scarth Street, a beautiful walking-only street full of shops and pubs. Check out Beer Brothers for a huge selection of Beer, or enjoy a pint while listening to some live music at O'Hanlons.
Local Watering Holes
As with any city, there are handfuls of different establishments where you can drink and dance the night away. For those looking to hit as many bars and clubs as possible in one night, the most sensible place would be to check out Dewdney Avenue in the Warehouse District. This street is literally lined with over 10 pubs, clubs and bars, all over the span of a few blocks. It has something for everyone. From hip-hop joints, to rock clubs, or just a quiet folk music night, you're sure to find something to spark your eye. A cab ride from the hostel will cost you no more than 10 dollars to get here. Just tell the cab driver you're heading to the Dewdney Bars.If you're looking for a true Saskatchewan local bar, full of country music, large patios, karaoke and live music, head to the east end of town to The Pump. Easily one of the most popular bars in Regina. This place is packed from Thursday to Sunday. Stop by on Thirsty Thursdays if you're broke, $1 draft beer can keep you going until the end of the night.
Saskatchewan Roughriders
Beer, Burgers, and Football. What could be better? If you're in town during a home game, try your best to get some tickets, and cheer for the Riders. The city shuts down during games, thousands upon thousands of people, dressed from head to toe in green, flock to Mosaic Stadium as if it were Mecca. A unique experience everyone should try. If you have nothing green in your wardrobe, don't worry about it. Lose the shirt, and find some cheap green body paint, or slap an empty watermelon on your head. You will only blend in more with these rowdy locals. Scream to your hearts content and help make Regina the loudest place to be that night.
RCMP Depot & Heritage Centre
Known all over the world as Mounties, commonly thought to always wear red jackets, black pants, and a wide brimmed hat (which in fact, they only do during Ceremonies). The RCMP Depot Divison (a.k.a The Acadamy) is found in Regina. If you came to Canada hoping you could get a picture with a Mountie, you'll be happy to hear that this could be the place to snap that million dollar shot. The RCMP Heritage Centre was recently constructed in 2007, and beautifully houses a large number of historical pieces and exhibits which do an amazing job educating people on the history of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Admission will set you back $12.00 for adults, but is worth every penny.

President Mubarak of Egypt in an interview with the Italian newspaper, La Republica, made clear that Israel's dream of "throwing the Strip" at the Egyptians was "only a dream" and would not be achieved. The Egyptian president insisted the Gaza Strip was an Israeli problem and the government of Israel had continually made mistakes in dealing with Hamas. He believes its policy of strangling the Gaza area in order to weaken Hamas has backfired resulting in the present chaotic situation. Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal, was in Cairo discussing with Egyptian security officials ways in which to restore some semblance of law and order in the area. Al-Jazeera denied a Reuters report of a massive explosion in the Gaza area saying somehow a reporter transformed a policeman firing of a bullet into the air as being a major incident.
At some point, Israeli officials have to make contact with reality in its efforts to isolate and marginalize Hamas. These strategies simply have not worked. Targeting key Hamas leaders and killing them has yet to result in any significant decline in Hamas strength and it certainly has not reduced the firing of Kassam rockets. Perhap, it is time to talk with Hamas leaders regardless of whether or not they will tone down their angry rhetoric against Israel. Hopefully, talks and some form of compromise solutions may eventually result in a reduction in the level of threats. It might also even end the firing of Kassam rockets.

When someone like a contractor employee such as Edward Snowden is granted a security clearance, they usually need to sign a Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement (Form 312, 32 CFR Part 2001.80 – appended below). Among other things, contractors acknowledge that a "special confidence and trust" is placed in them by the U.S. Government to view and use the Nation's most sensitive information.
CINOs also warn that the signer that the "unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of classified information by me could cause damage or irreparable injury to the United States or could be used to advantage by a foreign nation." The document is designed to impress upon signers that access to national secrets is a privilege. It is very serious business and, if the signer reads the fine print (not hard to do since it is just a two page document) they are also reminded that releasing or misuse of classified information may be a criminal violation.
The media, Snowden defenders, and some politicians on Capitol Hill have accepted that Snowden was a whistleblower. Yet evidence keeps mounting that Snowden was anything but a bonafide whistleblower. Today we learn that while he was working in Hawaii, he secured from fellow workers passwords and access codes for systems that he did not have access to.
As an American citizen and U.S. government contractor, Snowden owed certain allegiances to his country. The Justice Department and the Congress need to take a close and careful look at not only the damage that Snowden caused to the intelligence community, but to his reasons for doing what he did. This seems to be a lot more than our run of the mill whistleblower case. At this juncture, the whistleblower defense is very weak. This new evidence, if true, further reinforces the argument that Snowden is a traitor.
Snowden, and anyone who knowingly helped him do what he did, belongs in a jail cell in the United States, without internet access, not in Russia working as a programmer in some allegedly private company. Ignorance of the law is not a defense and it does not entitle you to whistleblower status either. The irony of this entire matter is that not only has Snowden tried to weaken the U.S., on the question of civil liberties, Snowden and his supporters have set that issue back for a long time.
Snowden's release of classified information will, in the short term, hurt the nation's ability to protect national security. It could result in the loss of life of U.S. personnel and those who support them around world. Congressional oversight needs to take a closer look at this aspect of the case, rather than engage in what has become, at times, gratuitous bashing of the intelligence community (or, political CYA disguised as oversight). Maybe this is what Snowden, and those who support him, intended all along? Snowden is no better than Bradley Manning, and in some respects worse.
Finally, if laws were broken or exceeded in scope by NSA personnel, these individuals need to be held accountable. Keep in mind as this discussion unfolds, however, that political leaders task these entities with the work that they do. When the U.S. was attacked on 09.11.01, the country and how it deals with nationals security threats, forever changed. It may be time to revisit the laws and regulations that created the system the nation has today, but do so in a way that makes the system better, not weaker. And when it comes to civil liberties, I'm more concerned about HHS, than the NSA.

Re-Focused: Divisional Round, Packers at Falcons
Re-Focused: Divisional Round, Packers at Falcons
For all of those questioning our selection of Aaron Rodgers as Offensive Player of the Year, consider this game Exhibit A.
Rodgers put up one of the best grades of the season in picking apart the Falcons defense, and got the Packers a game away from returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since Brett Favre's heyday.
The Falcons aren't built to come back from behind, and once they were down they couldn't find any type of rhythm on offense. Matt Ryan (+0.1) edged Rodgers for our MVP title, but didn't play like one in this game.
Packers: Three performances of note
The clear star of this game was Rodgers (+9.1). What made his performance so amazing was his ability to avoid pressure and his consistency throwing deep. While the defense could at times get heat on Rodgers, he frequently rolled out of it and still got throws off. On balls thrown 10+ yards, he was 11 for 12 for 213 yards and a touchdown. Rodgers was able to get first down after first down to keep the chains moving, keep getting points on the board and keep the Falcons off the field.
While Jordy Nelson (+3.5) is the least-talked about of the Packers four receivers, he had the best game of the group and the best of his career. He was thrown at eight times, and made all eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown. What has made the Packers so good this season is their depth, and when the fourth receiver can have a game like this, you have a very dangerous team.
While outside linebacker Erik Walden (-2.9) won the Defensive Player of the Week in the NFC award in the regular season finale, he reminded you Saturday that he's the fourth-string linebacker. He rushed Matt Ryan 31 times, but was only able to manage one pressure. He also was hurt on the few run plays the Falcons had. While the Packers looked like they had no weakness in this game, they did have one that just wasn't exploited.
Falcons: Three performances of note
Because of an injury to Brian Williams, Chris Owens (-3.5) was pushed into the slot cornerback role. The Packers took advantage of this by putting not only Donald Driver in the slot receiver position, but Greg Jennings more than usual, and at times both of them in the slot on the same side of the field. Although other defensive backs allowed more catches, he allowed the most yards and by far the most after the catch.
Part of the Falcons' strength on defense this year was their pass rush, but the defensive line as a unit struggled in this game. All four starters on the defensive line ended up with a rating below one in pass rush. Although three sacks is a good output, they were only able to get pressure on six of 42 pass plays. The fact that the Falcons couldn't get to Rodgers gave the Packers enough time to find the holes in the defense.
On offense, it was the lack of possession that really cost the Falcons more than poor execution. Tony Gonzalez (-1.9) was notable in his silence, though. It was thought that he would be a big part of their offense in this game, but he was only thrown at once for a-seven yard catch. His negative rating was mostly due to his run blocking, but it's worth noting that he didn't grade well this year and at 35 won't have many more chances at playoff glory.
Rookie report
For the Packers, the play of right tackle Bryan Bulaga (+3.4) was a real sight for sore eyes. After receiving negative ratings the past five weeks, Bulaga only allowed one sack and no other pressure and performed well in run blocking. While HB James Starks (+0.6) saw most of the carries, he was just solid instead of spectacular as he was vs. Philly. TE Andrew Quarless (+0.5) wasn't in on offense as much as recent weeks in favor of more wide receivers. DE C.J. Wilson (+0.8) had a nice day stopping the run and had a sack in garbage time. CB Sam Shields (-0.6) didn't have a good a rating as recent weeks due to a pass interference penalty.
As usual, the Falcons didn't have any rookies play on offense and only two on defense. DT Corey Peters (+0.4) was the only starting defensive lineman with no pressure, but had four stops in a nice day stopping the run. LB Sean Weatherspoon (-1.6) played in nickel situations, but had no pressure and two penalties.
Random notes
One in every eight pass plays for the Falcons ended up with Matt Ryan getting sacked. … The Packers' defense actually graded out as a net negative (-0.3). … Ryan Pickett and Howard Green started on the D-line for Green Bay, but Cullen Jenkins and Wilson had more snaps off the bench. … Mason Crosby continued to be a liability on kickoffs.

In U.S. scandals, wives don't stand by their men
By Tabassum Zakaria
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Standing by your man suddenly seems to be going out of fashion for some American women in the public eye.
This month, the wives of at least two famous men caught cheating -- sexually and financially -- very openly declared that their spouses' behavior was actually quite scandalous.
Ruth Madoff, reacting to her husband Bernard being sentenced to 150 years in prison for bilking investors with a massive Ponzi scheme, said she felt "embarrassed," "ashamed" and "betrayed" by a man she had known for half a century.
"The man who committed this horrible fraud is not the man whom I have known for all these years," she said in a statement shortly after her husband's sentencing on Monday.
Last week, after South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford tearfully admitted to an affair with a woman in Argentina, his wife Jenny -- who was not by his side at his public confession -- left little doubt about her feelings.
"His career is not a concern of mine," she told reporters at a vacation home. "He's going to have to worry about that. I'm worried about my family and the character of my children."
Political analysts said the new attitude reflects generational and social change -- at least for some women in the United States.
"The old model didn't work," said Karlyn Bowman, an analyst of U.S. public opinion at the American Enterprise Institute. Continued...

Thanks Dove. So will this happen every year? It's rather impressive and I would love to move it to a more exposed position.
How will it fair do you think?
Just realised the pics are not very big. Do you need bigger?
Good afternoon,
Would somebody be so kind as to tell me if this is actually part of the palm tree? It looks like it's coming from the root of the tree but not sure. Would love to move it if possible.
Thank you everyone. The battle is on.
Thanks Dove for your tip I shall check it out.
I've just googled your answer fidget and I think you're right. They are beautiful flowers but they are very unsteady. Their stems are so thin. I've no idea how they got there but I'm glad they did.
Thanks nutcutlet. No.2 doesn't have many flowers and there's no way it could have been planted because you can't get through the shrub that it's grown through.
Do you think I could take cutings from it? It looks very pretty and would like to put it somewhere else.
And what should I know about phytolacca?
Hi guys,
I seem to be invaded by swarms of ants this year. They are in my lawn, my plant pots and they've started to come into the house. Is anybody else having problems this year and what can I do?
My lawn is starting to look messy with piles of sand everywhere and is it a real problem in my pots or should I not worry?
I have some new plants that have just appeared in my garden from nowhere and would like to dive into your fountain of knowledge if you don't mind?
The yellow one comes on a very, very thin stem that has to be supported as it can't stand up otherwise. There is also a pink one beside it. Full sun in a border
The purple one has grown through a shrub, about 1.5m high. Half sun.
The white one has sprouted underneath a tree, half sun I would say.
Ok thanks guys. I have another option. I could possibly turn it into a veggie garden But do I have to get rid of all the sand?

1. Cheating is a choice
Remember ladies cheating is a choice. If your Jamaican man cheats, it's because he is choosing to cheat. It's not because he can't help him self. It is because he wants to do it.
2. Fatherless upbringing
Some Jamaican men grew up not having an example of what it meant for a man to be committed to a woman, mainly not having a father figure around. As adults we think we have it all figured out. But many of us are going around big in the body, but still young in the mind.
3. Poor examples of what it means to be a man
Some Jamaican men only know what they know. If a Jamaican man only has poor examples of what it means to be a man, chances are he will still practice these ways when he is in his relationship. Why should he change? Why should he do different? If all he knows is men doing what they want without regard for the feelings of his woman, or others who care about him.
4. Some Jamaican men are in 'Kid love'
Some Jamaicans are loving with kid love. Meaning that they don't understand that when you become an adult, to be in a loving relationship means
- You make the commitment
- You Stay plugged in, because of the commitment
- Practicing Monogamy brings greater intimacy
So some Jamaican men feel that because that flutter of the heart is no longer present, he needs to 'cheat' in order to keep his relationship fresh so to speak.
5. Jamaican men are in demand!
If a Jamaican man cheats it's because he can. Realistically ladies, Jamaican men are in demand. So, before you lie down with one, it's a good idea to feel him out in terms of what type of head space he is in. Jamaican men get opportunities to have sex, and it is almost part of our culture as a man, to help a female out and not to turn her down,.

3 Things a Jamaican man must have
6. 'Jamaican men do not masturbate'
I am a Jamaican woman, and I can tell you masturbation in our culture is highly frowned upon. We believe this is the reason why Jah created man and woman. So, some Jamaican men feel that to cheat is the cure to relieving his sexual tensions. We believe if a person wants sex, they should go out and find a man or a woman and have the sex, not put your hand on your self and get sexual relief.
Some of the benefits to cheating instead of masturbation are…
- get a live woman, instead of a hand
- might get more aroused with a 'new' woman
- Some Jamaican men feel more manly seeing that somebody else still desires him
- instead of breaking up over the new girl, he can have his cake and eat it too
These are just some guesses. I am not a man, but deep inside, somehow I know these are some of the thoughts of Jamaican men who cheat.
7. A woman on the side is common in Jamaica
You may or may already not know this but 'having a woman on the side' in Jamaican culture is common. Not that the women accept it, but many men who are say in their 40s and up living in Jamaica, with a wife, (or live in woman) tend to have a woman or women on the side. Many of the man know a man who is doing this or are doing it themselves. Therefor some Jamaican men grow up seeing this take place.
8. Because the woman Accepts it
Some Jamaican men are specifically dating women, who they know they can cheat on and abuse. I am telling you the truth ladies. It is rare for a Jamaican woman, to put up with bull from a Jamaican man. That is why it is common now a days, that Jamaican men, date women from abroad, cause they know she will be more open and more accepting of him and his bad behaviors. In other words a Jamaican woman might hit him in the head with a Rock if he is caught gallivanting, but An American woman, or perhaps a woman of a different ethnic background… is less likely to do such a thing. Just saying.
Remember not all Jamaican men cheat!

Hi folks, just got this message on my 94 STS. I am assuming that the oil pump went bad, or can it be a sensor. The problem is I have no idea where the oil pump is on the engine, any help will be appreciated.
: "Stop Engine Low Oil Pressure"
Hi folks, just got this message on my 94 STS. I am assuming that the oil pump went bad, or can it be a sensor. The problem is I have no idea where the oil pump is on the engine, any help will be appreciated.
Is that the only message? Is the cluster doing other strange things during the message? Sometimes the cluster will have a intermitant failure and display that message, along with '--' in the fuel and hvac readings.
The oil pump is inside the 'belt' side of the engine....behind the crank harmonic balancer.
I hope its just a bad sending unit. Let us know on the cluster first...
Hi folks, just got this message on my 94 STS. I am assuming that the oil pump went bad, or can it be a sensor. The problem is I have no idea where the oil pump is on the engine, any help will be appreciated.
Well, the first question is does the engine have oil pressure?? Any strange or unusual sounds or ticking from the engine?? Take the oil fill cap off while the engine is idling and look at the front cam bearing caps to see if oil is dribbling out of the caps indicating oil flow. If there is no oil flow visible there may be no oil pressure.
If the message is there and there is still oil pressure then likely it is just the oil pressure switch on the oil filter adapter. Easy fix.
If there is truely no oil pressure it is highly unlikely that there is anything wrong with the oil pump. I don't ever recall ever seeing a Northstar oil pump "fail" per se.
If the engine has lost oil pressure the single most likely cause is a tiny piece of debris of some sort that has hung the oil pump pressure relief/control valve open. That valve is a small poppet valve that can random and rarely be cocked open with a piece of debris at shut down that then prevents the oil pump from priming on the next start up. If you "lost pressure" immediately after a startup that the engine was running fine before it was last shutdown then this is most certainly the problem. Fortunately there is a very easy fix... Get 8 quarts of oil and pour them into the engine in addition to the oil that is in there already. Start the engine and watch for the oil pressure to come up. After it is running with oil pressure for 30 seconds or so rev the engine to 4000 RPM and back to idle several times slowly. Drain the oil level to the correct level and carry on secure in the knowlege that this will likely never happen to you again...since it happened once the chance of lightening striking twice is small.
The oil pump on the Northstar is on the crank behind the front cover of the engine. By adding the extra 8 quarts of oil the oil level will be above the crank centerline and will flood the pump forcing it to prime. As soon as it primes it will blow the debris out of the relief valve when you rev it up. Don't try to drive with the extra oil in the engine or you will become a mosquito duster when the oil gets sucked thru the PCV....
Thanks bbobynski, I do have a ticking sound in the engine. The car was running fine when I went to the store and 15 minutes later when I came back out it gave me the warning. I will try the 8 quarts of oil.

Yea, sounds like the relief valve is stuck open. The extra oil overfill trick should take care of it. Not likely that the oil pressure switch just suddenly failed during a 15 minute soak...LOL. Classic loss of oil pressure symptoms due to a stuck relief valve. The overfill will fix it.

Just added 8 quarts of oil and it seem not to work. I left the car Iddle for about 2 minutes to see if the oil pressure would come up and it didn't. I can see the oil kind of bubbling through the fill cap. I agree that it is highly unlikely that the oil pump just stop working, maybe it is the oil pressure switch and if it is can you tell me where I can find the switch. I would hate to take the car in to the dealer for them to have their way with me.
Have yuo considered the possibility of a failed/defective oil filter?
As you have an overfilled condition now, it would be a cheap test to just replace your oil filter and review the results.
97 concours
What weight oil are you using ? what kind of outside temperatures is your car exposed to ?
Just empty out all of the oil and replace the filter as well, no change still getting "stop Engine Low Oil Pressure". I've always use 10W30 oil.
I had no indication whatsoever the car having a problem, was driving fine, I stop off at the store to get something and came back out 15 minutes later and started the car and bingo the message came on. I had the car tow to the house and restarted the car and it doesn't sound good at all.
Every one I have spoken to tells me that it is unusual that the oil pump fail, however, what else can it possibly be.
My wife's 96 Aurora will give a low oil pressure warning on very hot days in stop and go traffic. At times in idle, it dips down to 5 PSI but as soon as the RPMs rise the warning goes away. This is probably different from your situation however.
The oil pump is mounted on the crankshaft and is driven by the damper/oil pump drive sleeve/cam chain sprocket being clamped together by the load from the large bolt that holds the harmonic damper on. Has the harmonic damper been removed recently or replaced or anything that would have loosened the large bolt that holds it on??
That bolt takes about 250 to 300 ft. lbs. of torque to achive the correct torque angle so it has to be VERY tight. It will not loosen on it's own..but..if it was removed/tampered with in any way along the line it is very hard to get the damper seated and the bolt tightened correctly without a LOT of torque and you have to lock the flex plate to tighten it that much. Any way the damper bolt could have been loosened.
Someone on another forum reported a similar loss of oil pressure some time after the damper had been R&R'ed to replace a weeping front seal or something. The damper was apparently not seated correctly before the bolt was tightened so it ended up not being tensioned correctly.
When the sytem was overfilled did you try revving the engine up to 3000 or so?? It will not hurt anything even if there is no oil pressure as the crank is submerged in oil with the overfill. The engine will start to get a little noisy as the hydraulic elements in the tappets get some air in them but that is of no concern. You are not likely to hurt anything here at all resolving the problem.
Other than the damper bolt loosening the relief valve sticking is the only failure mode that the pump can really have. The over fill should force it to prime.
When I overfilled the car with oil I had it running for about 2 minutes I revved the engine to about 3500 RPM a few times but it was not sounding too good so I got scared and shut the car down. No one has worked on the car other than me in the last year, so the harmonic damper has not been removed or loosen. I really would hate to bring the car to the dealer and paid their prices but who else will you trust in replacing the oil pump on a N* if in fact it is the oil pump.
I would still check the damper bolt tightness before going further. Possibly it was tampered with before you got the car and not tightened securely. I would put a socket and breaker bar on it and see if you can pull 275 ft. lbs. without it turning. If it moves at a lower torque then it would have been loose.
I have only ever seen three things cause a Northstar to loose oil pressure like you describe. One is the relief valve sticking and subsequent lack of prime....and the overfill should have forced it to prime. Two is the damper bolt loose from improper tensioning somewhere along the line. Three was a piece of debris injested into the pump causing the housing to bust wide open when the geroter set jammed....not likely in your case.
The only possible alternative that I can think of is the cup plug behind the center support for the cam drive intermediate shaft support. If that plug comes loose it could cause a massive internal oil leak and loss of pressure.....but...I have never ever heard of that on an engine in the field with many miles on it. That is an "infant failure" type of thing from improper assembly or leaving the part out....LOL
Are you SURE you overfilled it by 8 quarts?? Put enough oil in it that you can see the oil level in the front chain case thru the oil fill port. I went thru this once before with an individual and the overfill did not work then either....only because I found out later that he thought it was a nutso idea and never did it. so...he tore the engine apart and found......nothing.....except a tiny tiny chunk of debris under the edge of the poppet relief valve that would have been blown out with an overfill. Only when looking at the evidence did he admit that the overfill was "propably" never done.....duh....
bbobynski, first let me thank you for all your help. I put in the 8 quarts of oil and I saw the oil level thru the oil fill port and reved up the engine a few times, when I finally drain out the oil I'm about 1 gallon shy of filling up a 5 gallon water jug. I just started the car and look thru the oil fill and do not see any oil spurting out. I will try the damper bolt to see if it is loose, I guess if it is loose I would have to tighten it but do I need to do anything else before tightening the bolt...
You'll have to hold the flexplate somehow to put a lot of torque on the bolt. Apply about 250 nm of torque on the bolt to see if it moves. If it does then the bolt was loose and/or the damper was not seated. Apply the 250nm until the bolt is no longer turning.... then, loosen it, torque it to the spec of 50 nm plus 120 degrees of angle.
I'm glad your warning light at least came on. Mine did not and I had to replace the crankshaft. When we took the pan off we foung a piece of a GM rubber gasket. Runs great now.
Good luck.

Looks like somebody cripped a greenhead over on the Salmon Falls river and it got trapped in the ice. I guess it makes a feel good story and some FD personnel feel heroic. What's the point of risking someones life on an ice rescue to save a duck, during hunting season no less. No mention of any involvement by USFWS agents or Maine Wildlife and Inland or Fisheries or NH F&G. Seems to me federal law prohibits the possession of a live duck or goose but I am sure the law will be overlooked for such good samaritans. We are not getting smarter as a society
Rollinsford, South Berwick fire crews rescue duck from frozen Salmon Falls River
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Rescued duck gets attention from unidentified person.
(Courtesy photo - Rollinsford Fire Department)
ROLLINSFORD, N.H. (AP) — Firefighters have rescued a duck that was frozen to the ice in a New Hampshire river.
They said some people out walking their dog in Rollinsford saw a mallard frozen to the ice on the Salmon Falls River. They called the fire department.
WMUR-TV reports http://bit.ly/AsOfTJ crews from Rollinsford and South Berwick, Maine, came out with a boat and a man with a cold watersuit to free the duck. It took about 40 minutes.
They said the ice was so thick they had to break it around the duck. A big ice cube was stuck to its wing.
The duck was recovering at a nearby veterinary office.

A$ falls to fresh six-week lows; RBA policy meeting in focus
Following on from yesterday's losses, fresh concerns over China's growth prospects and a series of less than inspiring local data points kept the Aussie dollar out-of-favor overnight, amid weaker volumes in light of the U.S Labor Day holiday. From China, both Monday's HSBC report and the official release over the weekend suggest manufacturing in the region has fallen deeper into contraction territory. China's official PMI report released over the weekend showed manufacturing slipped below the 50 level for the first time since November 2011. An index level of 50 and above suggests manufacturing is expanding, below signals contraction. Yesterday's HSBC equivalent fell to 47.6 in August from a preliminarily reading of 49.3 representing the lowest reading since March 2009.
Also in the frame yesterday was an uninspiring retail sales report showing June's solid increase on the back of government subsidies couldn't be sustained. Retail sales slumped 0.8 percent in July from a 1.2 percent rise in June. Expectations were for a moderate rise of 0.2 percent. The fall in the latest ANZ jobs ads report is also seen as a negative precursor ahead of Thursday's official employment print. Yesterday's release showed job ads fell 2.3 percent in August from a fall of 0.8 percent in July.
The day ahead will see the RBA policy meeting take centre stage at 14:30 AEST which is widely expected to see interest rates remain on hold at 3.5 percent. Nevertheless, after a series of sub-par economic releases in recent days, today's RBA policy statement may take on a tad more dovish tone than seen in recent correspondence. Market participants will be watching closely the ensuing statement for any downgrade from the previous statement and the recent policy meeting minutes which noted China was showing "tentative signs that growth was stabilising at a more sustainable pace." The statement may also express concern over how falling terms of trade may impact on national income. Also on today's docket is the second-quarter current account and net exports of GDP.
It's clear there's a hybrid of negative themes guiding the Aussie dollar with a notable decline in Australia's key commodity exports such as iron ore taking on increased priority amid further signs the Chinese economy is coming off the boil. Still, the prospect of further U.S stimulus may continue to provide a tentative foundation should we see data out of the region print to the weaker side of expectations this week, but on the flip side the risk of a material unwinding of stimulus expectations is high should we see U.S data releases strike a positive tone, placing the local unit at risk of a deeper correction. At the time of writing the Australian dollar is buying 102.4 US cents.

Defeated presidential candidate Raila Odinga has accepted a ruling from Kenya's Supreme Court upholding Uhuru Kenyatta's victory in general elections. Kenyan police are on alert for unrest following the court's decision.
Odinga told a press conference on Saturday that he accepted the ruling of the Supreme Court, which had come just a few hours earlier.
"The court has now spoken," Odinga said. "I wish the president-elect, honorable Uhuru Kenyatta, and his team well."
He added that he regretted that some of the evidence his team presented had been disallowed, saying "in the end Kenyans lost their right to know what indeed happened."
Despite Odinga's acceptance of the ruling, police in Kenya have clashed with some of his supporters who are angry over the decision. In Kisumu, two young men participating in riots were fatally shot, although it is unclear by whom.
Odinga and Kenyatta had both appealed for calm ahead of the court's decision and had said they would accept the ruling.
Street protests following the last election in 2007 descended into tribal violence that claimed more than 1,200 lives. Following that poll, Odinga refused to seek arbitration over the election results, which many said had been flawed.
This year, Odinga's lawyer, George Oraro, had called upon the court to cancel results from voting areas that appeared to show problems.
Kenya's chief justice Willy Mutunga said on Saturday that the six-member court unanimously ruled that the election of Uhuru Kenyatta had been conducted in a "free, fair, transparent and credible" manner.
"It is the decision that the third and fourth respondents were validly elected," Chief Justice Willy Mutunga said in court, referring to Kenyatta and his running mate and deputy president William Ruto.
Odinga was Kenyatta's main contender in the March 4 vote and had alleged that the result was affected by both technical problems and vote rigging.
Closing arguments in the court on Friday highlighted the findings of a court report, which found peculiarities in the partial recounting of votes at five out of 22 polling stations. It was alleged that discrepancies were found in scores of other locations.
Kenyatta appeared to have won by a wafer-thin margin with 50.07 percent of the vote, barely surpassing the 50 percent mark out of 12.3 million votes cast.
Kenyatta faces charges at the International Criminal Court in The Hague over allegations that he helped incite the post-election violence in 2007.
Kenya adopted a new constitution in 2010 in an effort to avoid the post-election violence of the past.

Five Ways to Prevent Digital Eye Strain
Today, many people spend hours each day sitting in front of a computer screen. Once you get in the flow, you may not take a break for several hours. When you finally do turn away, your eyes may feel tired and perhaps your vision is a bit blurry.
"Digital eye strain is increasingly common," says Marianne Ghatta, O.D., an optometrist with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. "Many of my patients come in with eye strain and blurred vision, simply from staring at the computer for too long, too often."
Best Ways to Protect Your Eyesight
Whether we wear prescription lenses or simply get eye strain after a day on the computer, most of us would like to improve and protect our eyesight, but what really works to protect your vision naturally?
Virginia Ko, O.D., an optometrist with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, shares these top ways to protect and improve your eyesight, no matter your age. Read More about Best Ways to Protect Your Eyesight
Children's Eye Health – Answers to Commonly Asked Questions
Playing peek-a-boo, devouring the first Harry Potter book or scoring a goal for the team – good eye health and vision are critical so your child can learn, experience and enjoy the world around him or her to its fullest. From birth to the age of 10, the area of a child's brain responsible for vision is still developing. That's why it's important to have your child's eyes checked regularly, as many eye disorders and vision problems can be treated successfully if diagnosed early.

Why Lasik Prices Vary
"Why are LASIK costs so different?"
This is a question that I often receive. A person will have seen an advertisement in the newspaper for someone offering laser vision correction for $1,000 or less per eye. As the saying goes "Buyer beware."
The first thing that a person should be aware of is that the advertised price will usually have a small asterisk next to it. At the bottom of the advertisement there will be a statement that the price only applies for a prescription of less than a low number such as -1.50 . Often there also will be a restriction on the presence of astigmatism.
Computers and Eye Strain
As computers become part of our everyday lives, more and more people are experiencing a variety of ocular (eye) symptoms related to computer use. These include eyestrain, tired eyes, irritation, redness, blurred vision, and double vision – collectively referred to as computer vision syndrome. The visual effects of various display characteristics such as lighting, glare, display quality, refresh rates, and radiation affect how your eyes feel. Offices tend to keep the humidity low to protect the computers, however the dry air irritates the eyes. Indeed, the major contributor to computer vision syndrome symptoms by far appears to be dry eye.
