CONSERVATIONISTS have proposed the federal government fill a looming $3 billion a year hole in its carbon tax revenue by cutting back assistance to some industries.
Big business has warned the government could face the revenue shortfall when the carbon tax floats in 2015 because of the gap between the predicted international carbon price and the price upon which its generous, and locked-in, household assistance package has been calculated.
By 2015, when the carbon tax shifts to a floating market-based price, it will have risen to $25.40, but forecasters predict the international price will be even lower than the Australian ''floor'' price, meaning the $15 a tonne floor price is likely to apply to Australian companies.
The Australian Conservation Foundation spokesman Tony Mohr said the government could easily fill any gap and keep its promise that the carbon package would be broadly revenue neutral by cutting back on assistance to industries that were doing well.
"By 2015 emissions-intensive industries will be receiving $3.3 billion dollars in free permits. Given the boom in mining and extractive industries such as coal and gas, this level of assistance should be revised down to ensure that some of the wealthiest companies in Australia are pulling their weight," he said.
The suggestion will outrage the coal industry, which believes it has been short-changed in comparison with other trade-exposed industries with its proposed $1.3 billion carbon tax assistance package.
The low global price is primarily driven by low prices on the European carbon market - driven down by economic turmoil in the European Union.
The Greens deputy leader, Senator Christine Milne, said the low price in Europe was ''in reality … irrelevant'' for Australia.
''Firstly, the Australian scheme is designed to face our markets in Asia and we have already built in industry assistance that takes that into account. Secondly, European governments are preparing plans to bolster their price and we have every expectation that, by 2015, a recovery will be under way,'' she said.
But groups like the Business Council of Australia and the Australian Industry Group have expressed concern that it will be increasingly difficult for the government to make sure the revenue from carbon permits matches the costs of its promised compensation.

The semi-final at the Stade de France is set to break all records as the two old rivals go head-to-head for a place in next weekend's Final. The stakes could not be higher as 40,000 England fans go in search of tickets in the French capital, leaving an entire sporting nation back home captivated by events in Paris.
Seldom has an international football match been overshadowed by rugby but as Joe Cole prepared for tomorrow's Euro 2008 qualifier between England and Estonia he admitted: "Our game is vital but, for once, we could be second billing behind the rugby lads.
"We will all be cheering on the England rugby team in the evening. It's good, for a change to sit back, relax and watch other people have all the pressure of the whole country watching them!
"I watched the match against Australia and really enjoyed it. I can't wait to see tomorrow's game. All we have talked about this week is the rugby team, their style of play and Jonny Wilkinson's kicking.
"I can't say I understand the finer points of the game, but we're all right behind them."
England's cricketers are playing their last one-day international against Sri Lanka tomorrow, but with the series won, Owais Shah said all they want to do is watch the rugby. "I don't know where we're going to watch it, but you can be sure we'll be trying see the game," he said.
The size of the task facing England was summed up by the man who led the historic triumph against Australia in 2003.
World Cup-winning captain Martin Johnson insists the task facing Phil Vickery's men will be tough but is confident England can reach the final.
"We can win it," he said. "England must make a good start and we do need to keep it close because France can come back from a big points deficit, they have that capability."

In 1900 there wasn't a Sugarlands Visitor Center, no Park Headquarters building, no NewFound Gap highway (at least not today's road) and no CCC Camps. The old road from Gatlinburg ran along today's Gatlinburg Trail part of the way and then ran along the river.
The Fighting Creek School and Evans Chapel stood where today's Park Headquarters buildings are located. Luther Parton had a store that sold good hot dogs along the river and pumped gas for those few folks who had trucks and cars. The Sugarlands Visitor Center was a corn field in front of the Kear house and a large barn sat where today's road intersect near the parking lot for the center. West Trentham and Noah Trentham had homes along the creek at the upper ends of today's Sugarlands parking lot along the branch and nature trail heading towards John Ownby cabin.
The other main roads came up and across from Two-Mile Branch and Roaring Fork into the Sugarland valley and then up the old Huskey Gap into Elkmont (then called Glen Alpine). The Glen Alpine Post Office ran mail on Tuesday and Thursday and it sat on the old highway 71 between Sugarlands and Elkmont on Fighting Creek.
At the beginning of today's trail along the highway into the Sugarlands from the Park Headquarters where there is a few parking spots and across today's road was where Richard Trentham had a home. Noah Trentham house sat where you enter the horse stables next to the Trentham Cemetery. Today's road from Gatlinburg to the Sugarlands was built in 1929. The first Park Headquarters building was Bruce Keener's home (the old Kear-Carr place) that sat near today's Ash Hopper creek trail. Wilson Trentham had a home just up the road from there (along today's Roaring Fork Road above the intersection). But, even some of these homes weren't built till after 1900.
The old road went behind today's Park Headquarters and cut straight through today's Sugarland Visitor Center and continued on up Fighting Creek towards Laurel falls. At Fighting Creek Church it forked and went up today's left side of the river into the Sugarlands.
Just up Two-Mile branch was the old Trentham home place and the Watson place was just above it where Olin Watson was born. Pink Cole family had moved from Big Greenbrier up this branch along with the Bradley's and Ogle's.
A look at the 1926 map showing the old roads and home places from the beginning of today's trail.
I'm showing today's road in front of today's visitor center.
I've written blogs about whose living at points 1 through 10 before in the 1920-30 time frame. Let's take a look at the 1900 census and try and figure out where those folks lived.
Above today's Sugarlands Visitor Center and heading towards Laurel Falls we had Ashley and Sarah Ownby, William and Mary Stinnett, William and Mary Bohanan, Thomas Bohanan, Noah and Mary Ogle, Hump Ownby, John Watson and three Mc Carter families (Richard, Ephraim and Joseph) and some say a Eli McCarter single grave is somewhere along today's nature trail to the John Ownby cabin but is lost to history. They own much of the lands around Upland Branch.
The Joel and Pinkney Kear homes are sitting at the visitor center.
Of course, we have Trentham's. Isaac, Newton and Caleb dominate the lower sections of farms running up the river towards Huskey Gap and over into Elkmont.
John and Esther McCarter along with Lawson and Martha Ogle have large farms near Mids Gap. Harve and Mary Trentham are just 19, newly married and are the first home going up today's NewFound Gap road past the intersection on the right. Preacher Richard Evans and his wife are up in years and living near the chapel.
Lem Ownby's neighbor in what is to become Elkmont where Thomas and Paul Ogle families along with James Trentham group. Thomas and Sarah Ownby along with David and Martha Ownby were also there. Bosh and Mettie Ownby along with Kimsey and Hatty Ogle while other Ownby (Ownbey, Owenby, etc) continued on towards Tremont: Newton and Mary Ownby, George and Mary Ownby, Nickless and Mary Ownby.
Robert and Levi Trentham are in the heart of Elkmont along the river and Jakes Creek. We have a John Holt somewher in that area and maybe up Bearwallow Branch. William and Tennessee Holt along with Thomas Jones are his neighbors. John and Nancy Blalock have come to cut timber. Other folks from the North section of the Park have come to Elkmont including Joseph Webb (Webb Mountain and Webb Creek) with James and Rachel Messer from Big Greenbrier.
We make our way back to what I call "Little Sugarlands" and find Harlkess and Manerva Whaley with Issac and Dicie Ownby. Eli and Dicie McCarter along with Leander and Rhoda McCarter lived here as well (need to pull some courthouse deeds to find exact spots). Isaac and Martha Parton along with William and Lousicia (sp) Parton have James and Florence Messer as neighbors. Some of these folks aren't here in 1910 and is what makes finding old home places interesting. More families than home sites.
John and Sopha Ogle along with John and Nancy Ogle are neighbors along Sugarland Branch with Joel and Margaret Whaley. Some of these home were the old places between the gaps from side trails from Ash Hopper Branch over into other smaller creeks headed towards Laurel Falls and Fighting Creeks.
Isaac B. and Nancy Huskey along with his nephew Isaac McCarter are down along Newman Branch and the main river below Huskey Gap. A church sat on his property across the river in the Sugarlands. John and Lillie Whaley live in the Sugarlands below Thrist Branch along the old "new road" with Aaron and Elizabeth Ogle. Elizabeth Mother, Nancy Dodgen is with them. Richard and Julie Ogle are living below today's "over-looks" at the Bullhead Moutain view point.
Benjamin and Rosaner Parton have a home in the old curve of the road heading up Huskey Gap. David and Nancy Newman are his neighbors. They lived on the high side of Newman Branch (that is the branch running up the gulley along Huskey Gap trail) and below the parking lot for that trail. William and Martha Newman are below the branch down along the river. You can find the fallen chimney of Burton "Bert" Ogle along the river trail and the old-old road. Albert A. Cole and wife Mary who was also a Newman with Stephen Cole family along this river valley. Another family that was only here for a short time was Syrus Suton who lived next to Davis Brackins (Bracken-Brackens). They were further up the road on both sides of the river near the Sugarland Cemetery and Chimney's picnic areas. John Jones was living with them at this time.
Other families that sould like they should be in Wears Valley or Cosby are also here. Huff and Carrie Deaderick who had a black servant named Eliza Conrad and maybe the only black person to ever live in the Sugarlands. John Murray along with Stephen and Rhoda Holden are somewhere where the Quilliams later live. Andrew Quilliams is listed as a partner in Rueben and Martha Childers farm home. William and Sarah Cole are on the upper ends of Two-Mile Branch and the gap from the Sugarlands and Roaring Fork. Dock and Lois Ogle are next to Andrew and Nancy Brackens above Hickory King Branch. We have Andrew and Sarah Cole along with William and Rebecca Trentham in the heart of the Sugarland and along Bullhead Mountain. Alice Ogle and her three young children are next to Joseph Quilliams family. Brison and Martha Quilliams along with Timothy and Martha Quilliams are along Road Turn Branch and the areas where we hike to Courthouse Rock along the road. They have a Cogdill family from the Glades living between them and Stewart Newman. Stewart (Steward) and wife Mary live near Critter Branch.
John B. and Sarah Kear (Carr); Leander and Martha Ogle; John and Martha Cogdill; William and Julia Kear; Mack and Margaret McCarter; Elivs and Ellen Dodgen; William and Laurane McCarter; Louis (Lewis) and Emma McCarter; William and Neppie Brown; Sam and Ellen Huskey; Richard and Martha Reagan; Lafayette and Elizabeth McCarter were in the heart of the Sugarlands.
Julis and Susie Sims lived up Dry Branch (Thrist Branch). It was the old Ramson Sims place. John R. Ramsey lived there later. Columbus and Mollie Whaley; Daniel and Rebecca Ogle; William and Sarah Bohanan; Perry and Rhoda McCarter; James and Rebecca Bolin (Boling) with James and Alice Ogle are living along the waters of Bullhead Branch. Ramson Sims wife Mary who was first married to a Cole is living next to Aaron and Lauran Dodgen.
Where did all these folks live in the Sugarlands? They are here in the 1900 census.
Lot of woods back there. This was an area in the early 1800's where William "Black Bill" Ogle family lived up near Big Branch. William and Jane Conner Ogle being one of the first to settle this area.
Other map photos of the old pre-park roads in the Sugarlands.
The river and creek in blue with the old road in green. Home places are structures with red dots.
Up the Sugarlands we go:
Take a week worth of hikes to cover these old places.
This is where the old road (today's Huskey Gap trail down to the river) in the above photo.
The 1926 map has a big white blank space for some reason and doesn't show Big Branch or Bullhead Mountain (which is sad because we can't see the rock house and if it is there sooner than we think).
I'll add what I know to be in this area:
The green road is the path from Sugarlands old CCC camp over to Roaring Fork at Rainbow Falls parking areas.
Ok, Barb....want to find all these places?
Hiking this area a bunch between now and early spring.

Great blog and yep, I agree that you woudl have to do at least a week of hiking in this area to find everything. And then you would find out about something else and have to go back again lol
Incredible blog Mike.
A ton of info here Mike ------- maybe 2 weeeks of hikeees wheee--- what a batch of info Thanks
Mike, I don't have GPS coordinates for the graves.....Glen Cardwell showed me the McCarter graves several years ago. Give Glen a call or next time I am in the smokies I could show you if you are interested.
John, that would be one and the same. Can you give me a exact location along the trail to these old graves?
Mike, the Noah McCarter cemetery is on the return loop of the nature trail leading to the John Ownby cabin. No markers, just two or three depressions in the ground. Is this the same as the Eli McCarter grave ?
Oh don't you worry Dudley, I got my list and I'm checking it twice!! LOL

How far will the French government go in selling off some of its extensive portfolio of assets? In its last budget, the government said it would sell up to €4bn in shareholdings to raise money to pay down debt, or to invest in other companies. This could foreseeably include selling off parts of the government's stakes in energy companies such as GDF Suez and EDF. But more may be necessary.
The ongoing conflict with the European Union over France's persistent deficit, which according to the finance minister Michel Sapin cannot now be closed before 2017, is damaging France's reputation as well as the all important relationship with Berlin. Some action is needed to buy German acceptance of a new timetable. Selling assets in itself would not solve the problem but could reduce debt levels and produce much needed revenue. As a concept, however, privatisation is still considered toxic in France. The terms of any sale will have to reflect these political constraints.
Any Brit commenting on France has to be careful after the childish abuse from Andy Street, the managing director (for the moment) of retailer John Lewis. France has its problems, as any Frenchman will tell you, but it is not "finished" or a country where "nothing works and nobody cares". Mr Street should visit the thriving areas of the South West. He should remember that France, supposedly so hostile to globalisation, has 31 companies in the latest Fortune 500 listing against 28 each from Germany and the ultra-global UK. I hope that the Franco British Council, the Colloque and the other institutions that have laboured for years to build good relations with France are evidence that Mr Street speaks for no-one but himself.

Why "We Beat Internet Prices" Isn't the Best Battle Cry
Posted by Adam Silverman on July 11, 2013
I recently received a direct mail piece from one of my favorite retailers with a massive ad in that proclaimed "We Beat Internet Prices." Now, I am a big fan of straightforward and robust value propositions, but these types of brand exclamations are antiquated and add little value to customers, mainly because they simply reward customers for being good bargain hunters. Instead of simply stating you beat your competitor's prices, employing strategic pricing and customer engagement initiatives creates real distinct value to your customers by:
- Showing them you can execute on your low price promise and not just talk about it. Employing a holistic pricing strategy meets your customer's price expectations can indicate to your customers that you are truly 'walking the walk' when it comes to offering the lowest price.
- Building your credibility. Understanding your customers' needs and offering solutions that facilitate decisions and generate engagement builds credibility. Simply shouting that you match Internet prices does little to build credibility with your customers.
- Helping them with real problems. Shoppers don't need guidance on finding the lowest price -- they need to understand how your brand and solution help them compared to your competition.
eBusiness leaders can help lead the charge on creating a robust pricing and engagement strategy by:
- Providing analysis and insight to the merchandising team that compares the behavior of website browsers against product pricing. Any significant changes to specific product conversion rates after you have adjusted your pricing higher may indicate a pricing issue and may be a first-alert system that your pricing is out of whack. Alternatively, if conversion rates of specific products suddenly fall even though your product pricing has not changed, this might indicate that your competitors have adjusted their pricing lower and are more competitive than your price points. This tactical guidance can help your merchants understand commodity products that need to be the low-cost leader versus unique products that can retain higher margin.
- Employing dynamic pricing within marketplaces and comparison shopping engines. Many online retailers employ dynamic pricing, frequently adjusting prices in marketplaces, such as Amazon's Marketplace and eBay, and other digital channels throughout the day. In peak seasons, commodity retailers may re-price products hundreds of times a day based on market conditions and their overall inventory position.
- Helping the broader organization define their unique value proposition by understanding customers' behavior online. A recent Harvard Business Review blog by Michael Schrage of MIT makes the point that brands build credibility by helping customers make decisions, rather than being assertive advertisers. This approach can be applied to engagement with your digital channels. Measuring and creating initiatives to improve engagement metrics such as dwell time or social sharing can be more impactful to customer satisfaction than in-your-face "We Beat Internet Prices" ads.
This strategic view of the eBusiness role will help your organization execute on a product pricing strategy that will strengthen your credibility rather than just your vocal chords. What are your thoughts? Please comment below or reach out to me with your feedback.

Does your male gsd get along with the new pup?
Hi guys, my friend's WL gsd is about to have puppies and i think that i would bring a new pup to our family :D
as for now i have a male gsd 2.5Y.o that needs a playmate.(He tries to play with our 10 year old female spitz mix with no success, and he played with other dogs before)
but first i'd like to hear some stories of two males getting along together before i will bring the new pup.
I have 5 dogs different breeds. 3 males 2 females they all get along great. I think the majority of the reason is because I am with them all day. Your male should be just fine:)

Delgado has always been a rough player, not mean or aggressive just rough and tumble 110% full throttle WL play ;).
My parents fostered a 10 week old English Foxhound for 7 weeks and the first time we visited I kept him on leash or behind a babygate so he wouldn't knock the pup over. By the second visit the puppy was licking him through the babygate so I let them both out and supervised closely. Delgado actually for the first time ever lay down on the floor and allowed the pup to jump on his head, bite his tail and ears, and he was absolutely gentle in his play. It was extremely heart warming to watch and I was thrilled to see him toning it down so much to avoid hurting the pup.
We have 3 intact male GSDs, a neutered male Kelpie, and a spayed female Corgi who all get along great. We're adding an intact female GSD in a couple of weeks as well.

I have an intact almost 3 year old male, and a young female puppy. He is madly in love with her... they snuggle together, play together beautifully (chasing each other and tugging together with a toy are what they spend their play time doing, unless they are each playing with us or by themselves with a toy.)
Hunter loves having a packmate, he is never bored anymore. I have to say tough, he still prefers working with me and spending time with me over Zenna. I was worried adding a second dog would change my time with Hunter, but it hasn't... he still picks me. :)
My male GSD, Havoc, hates puppies. We discovered this when we bought a female GSD pup (Mayhem) home. But this is nut typical and once she hit 4 to5 months he was fine and they are best buds now.
We just kept them separated for several months.
I had a 4 y/o GSD, 2 y/o Pittie, and 1 y/o Border Collie, all males... for quite a while. Pittie went with my ex when we broke up, and I got Patton, he's intact/male 5 months old and every gets along great, still.
I have a 5 year old male GSD and a 9 month old male Dalmatian, they get along wonderfully, they are the best of friends and they play all day long.
In the past my male GSD lived with a male Rottweiler and a male GSD/Husky mix and the only problem there was was food/toy aggression from the GSD/Husky mix otherwise they got along great.
I have had better success with males getting along than with females. Here is my current old guy with my male pup.
Grim did great at teaching Beau his doggy body language and manners. Now he was very gentle with him until Beau got to be about 6-7 months old then he set Beau straight a couple of times. No bloodshed but he made sure the pup knew to knock it off. Grim was never allowed to be a "doggy playtime" dog and he and Cyra (who was also good with Beau) did not "play" with each other or with him so much. Mainly I played with each dog separately.

1997 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Background: Cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) has been documented to affect nearly every organ system. However, CCE involving the lung is distinctly uncommon and has been documented only in the setting of an aortocaval fistula.
Design: A case at the Massachusetts General Hospital and a MEDLINE search of English-language medical articles published between 1966 and 1997 provide the basis for this report.
Results: The precipitants of CCE include invasive vascular procedures, anticoagulant therapy, and thrombolysis. The most common symptoms include claudication of the calf, gastrointestinal bleeding, and weight loss. The most common signs include livedo reticularis, gangrene, and ulcers. Azotemia, proteinuria, normocytic anemia, and eosinophilia often are found. Herein is described the first pathologically confirmed case of CCE to the lung in the absence of an arteriovenous fistula.
Conclusion: Pulmonary hemorrhage should now be included in the diverse list of presenting signs of CCE. Moreover, CCE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary-renal syndromes.

Ed Sheeran & Elton John's Top-Notch Grammy Duet of "The A Team"
Bringing together a legendary showman and a new and exciting artist, the 55th Annual Grammy Awards featured 55th Annual Grammy Awards and Ed Sheeran for a very special duet this evening (February 10).
The "Tiny Dancer" veteran manned the piano while the "Drunk" newbie played his parlor guitar for his massive hit song "The A Team," and the crowd at the Staples Center couldn't get enough.
According to Mr. Sheeran it was actually Elton's idea for them to join forces for the 2013 Grammy Awards, and he happily obliged.
Ed told press, "He put it together. He rung me up one day and said, 'How would you feel about performing with me at the Grammys?' I was like, 'I'll check my schedule.'"
Enjoy the pictures of Elton John and Ed Sheeran performing at the 2013 Grammy Awards (February 10).

Sir John Kirwan has made his first big call as Blues coach and the appointment of Ali Williams has the potential to make or break his first year in charge.
It's a bold move for a number of reasons.
Firstly, Ali Williams has built not only a reputation as a larrikin but also turned it into a marketable brand by releasing his own book of jokes and funny stories. For someone who's cultivated the wacky image of a joker like Williams has, Kirwan's taken a gamble that this ageing lock can evolve into the sort of leader needed for this highly inexperienced squad.
Second, there is a question mark as to whether Comical Ali can hold his body together after being plagued by injury recently.
The Chiefs managed this tricky scenario by having dual leaders who could cover for the other in case one needed a rest. Liam Messam and Craig Clarke both took their play to a new level and complimented each other perfectly as dual captains. The Crusaders had Kieran Read as Richie McCaw's able assistant and given the long lay-off for the All Blacks' captain, Read was the main captain for much of the season.
So the question is not whether Williams will make it through the gruelling season unscathed, but who will replace him when the inevitable injury or rotation happens? Luke Braid, Keven Mealamu or perhaps Piri Weepu?
Kirwan may have made the call in the hope that the extra responsibility will motivate Williams to take training a bit more seriously and not lead any dressing room rebellions. Prime ministers often do similar things by giving their most likely rivals an important Cabinet position, but it remains to be seen if Williams will play ball with Kirwan.
Similar experiments didn't work with Sione Lauaki or Ma'a Nonu when their respective coaches tried to temper ill-discipline by giving them the captain's arm band.
I hope for the sake of the All Blacks that Williams can overcome his inconsistencies and find the kind of form and grit that made Brad Thorn such a crucial element in the World Cup victory last year.
The loss to England earlier this month highlighted the need for depth and experience in our forward pack, and if Williams could rediscover his pre-Achilles injury form, Steve Hansen could sleep a lot more easily.
Nice guys don't always come last
I was pleased to see Michael Bates get a well-deserved recall to the Blacks Caps following the double injury blow to Adam Milne and Mark Gillespie. I've played quite a bit of club cricket against Bates and despite being a ruthless bowler on the pitch, he's one of the genuine nice guys on the Auckland cricket scene.
After every match he was always up for a chat and a beer no matter the result. He's also battled back from a pretty horrific ankle injury which almost saw him completely lost to top level cricket. But he faithfully did the mind-numbing rehab work, slowly regained his pace and finally earned a recall to the first-class scene after spending a number of years out of the Aces.
He has laser-like accuracy which has made him an ideal T20 bowler as was seen at the Champions League earlier this year. He comes from pretty good sporting stock, given his older brother is Steven is a former ABs No 8 and I understand he captained the New Zealand under 19 cricket side before injury cut short his very promising career.
Most fast bowlers take a few years to fully realise their potential and can actually increase their pace as they move into the 30s, so perhaps we'll see a bit more of Bates in years to come.

After a season in which the New York Jets struggled to win, owner Woody Johnson decided it was time to make a change. With the offense in shambles and failing to score touchdowns, Johnson fired first-year offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, who failed to utilize his players to the best of their abilities. He also dismissed general manager Mike Tannenbaum of his duties for failing to deliver the necessary players for a winning product.
"I felt we had to go in a different direction to improve this team and get us to where we want to be," said Johnson. "I'm never going to say anything negative about Mike, because quite frankly the positives outweigh the negatives in all respects. I did feel it was time to make a change and I made that change."
Head coach Rex Ryan avoided the fate of these two men, admitting in an interview on ESPN Radio that he was unsure whether Johnson would move forward without him. After flying home from Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, Johnson and Ryan held a press conference to state their vision of the future.
Johnson stated that he backed Rex Ryan for his defensive prowess and for the obstacles he has faced with limited offensive weapons. Ryan will have an expanded role on many fronts, including the personnel Johnson will hire as well as the players that the Jets will seek in the offseason. "The relationship with the head coach and the owner is critical," noted Johnson. "The relationship with the head coach and the GM is also critical and that's why Rex is part of this and he'll get to know the general manager."
After showing their support for each other, Johnson and Ryan addressed the on-field changes as well. When asked about the future of Tim Tebow, neither man would make a definitive comment, saying that it would be up to the new offensive coordinator's vision of the offense. The same answer was given in regards to Mark Sanchez, who may be benched after signing his lucrative extension earlier this season.
"I feel very, very good about the direction of the New York Jets and where we're going to go from this point forward," said Johnson. "I'm very confident that we're going to accomplish our objective and that's all. That's all we're working for."

EDMORE — It's the time of year when those who have put on a few pounds or otherwise gotten soft over the winter months begin thinking seriously about getting back in shape. For Edmore residents, their best bet for accomplishing this goal is Gale's Gym.
Located at 1379 Industrial Park Drive in Edmore, Gale's Gym opened in 2008 and since then has grown steadily. According to owner Gale Nesbitt, acquiring ownership of the gym was a natural outgrowth of his family's traditional entrepreneurial spirit.
"I was working a job where I didn't really see much chance for advancement," Nesbitt said. "My family had always been in some kind of business my whole life, so I'd been looking to do something like that and I've been into physical fitness my whole life; it was a natural fit."
Nesbitt's decision to take over the gym — which had been around for several years but was not doing well financially — was a careful one.
"They were kind of struggling," Nesbitt explained. "I came here for a few months before deciding to purchase. I saw some areas where there could be improvement and once we came up with a number that was equitable for both parties, we went ahead."
Since then, Nesbitt has been steadily adding features to the gym. It now includes complete cardio equipment, treadmills, elliptical machines, upright and free weights, weight stacks, and hydraulic resistance equipment similar to that used in women-specific health centers.
Nesbitt credits the gym's steady growth more to attitude than technology, however. He makes sure the business maintains a strong community presence by sponsoring several runs throughout the year, like the 5K race coming up July 28.
"Our first race was June 30, and we had a really good turnout," Nesbitt said. "We generally give out t-shirts for entrants and medals to the winners in different age groups."
A third race, slated for Aug. 25, during Edmore's Potato Festival, also will include a "fun run" for children.
"We try to maintain a hometown atmosphere," Nesbitt said. "We know our members well and try to meet their needs."
The gym also offers organized classes such as Zumba, yoga and body sculpting during regular gym hours.
"We have a certified personal trainer for body building on site," Nesbitt said. "I myself am capable of helping out with general fitness and running. We pretty much cover the gamut."
As far as product offerings go, Nesbitt carries the Advocare line of health products for performance athletes, health and wellness and weight loss.
"These are high quality products," Nesbitt explained. "You're not going to have to worry about failing any drug test; it's all on the up and up and it's top of the line."
Gale's Gym is open Monday through Thursday, 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The gym maintains an online presence at galesgym.com.

Hundreds of police are on stand-by in London as anarchists threatened a mass "party" in Trafalgar Square to celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher.
Scotland Yard revealed that it has already launched a major operation to counter threats of disorder in the run up to her funeral next week.
All further leave for officers has been cancelled and operations are being run from a special command and control operations room in Lambeth.
Protesters say a demonstration in Trafalgar Square on Saturday will be a focus for discontent in the run up to next Wednesday's funeral.
The event is being organised by anarchist group Class War while other groups such as the All London Anarchist Revolutionary Mob, which says it is "committed to radical action to undermine the state," are also mobilising supporters to attend.
Senior police officers are said to have been initially "quite relaxed" about security in London following Mrs Thatcher's death but views have hardened since unrest in Brixton and Bristol where seven police officers were injured.
The funeral itself will see the biggest security operation in the UK since the Olympics with hundreds of armed officers forming a "ring of steel" along the three mile procession route from Westminster to St Paul's Cathedral.
Senior officers, who began planning for the event two years ago, are acutely aware threats could come from militant far left groups, anarchists and Irish terrorists.
Marksmen will be deployed on rooftops and undercover officers will mingle with crowds to spot known trouble makers.
Blanket stop and search powers are expected to be introduced in the run up to the funeral with officers using powers of pre-emptive arrest to target known trouble-makers travelling to the event.
Individuals who are obsessed with Mrs Thatcher will also be vetted to ensure they do not pose a threat at her funeral.
The Met's Fixated Threat Assessment Centre, which monitors disturbed individuals are obsessed with public figures, has a list of Thatcher fanatics.
Police are already monitoring social networking sites for plans for parties to "celebrate" Mrs Thatcher's death.
They are aware of the Trafalgar Square event and are preparing an "appropriate" plan to counter any possible trouble.
Police will put in place plans worked out following the 2011 riots in which mobile flying groups of officers will immediately respond to flashpoints of violence and disorder.
Insiders say they are still developing an intelligence picture of the likely threat of disorder.
Organisers of the Trafalgar Square event claim it has been planned for 10 years and will attract anti-Thatcher protesters from around the UK.
It will take place at the scene of some of the worst trouble during the famous poll tax riots.
On its Facebook page, it said: "6pm Saturday, Trafalgar Square, bring a bottle, bring jelly & ice cream, bring joy."
Class War founder Ian Bone said "thousands" of anti-Thatcher protesters and anarchists would be taking part on Saturday, including people from groups that she historically had confrontations with.
He said: "Miners will be coming down from the north, Wapping printers, steel workers - it will be a big crowd. We are talking thousands.
"It has been planned for years, always for the first Saturday after her death, and it is in the right place, where the Poll Tax riots were taking place."
In response to call for a statue of Baroness Thatcher to be erected in Trafalgar Square, Mr Bone said protesters planned to install an effigy of the former leader on the 4th plinth which will then be toppled "like Saddam Hussein" in a moment of "liberation and cathartic retribution".
Mr Bone, 65, said Saturday was likely to be the main focus of protests rather than the funeral on Wednesday because of the massive police presence expected.
He said: "There will be heads of State there, police with guns - anyone who even raises a placard will get lifted, and it's not worth it to spend 12 hours in a cell."
The parties have been met with revulsion and condemnation from MPs from across the political divide.
A Met spokesman said : "London's police, the Met, City of London and British Transport Police, are working together to deliver a security operation for Baroness Thatcher's funeral. Given the nature of the event our operation will use of a range of appropriate tactics.
"We do not have the total number of officers at the moment as we are still developing the detail of our operation.
"We are mindful that this occasion has the potential to attract protest. The MPS wishes to speak to anyone who may chose to demonstrate on Wednesday, or in the coming days, so their right to protest can be upheld whilst respecting the rights of Baroness Thatcher's family and those who wish to pay their respects."

Are You a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Nose surgery is one of the most popular surgical cosmetic procedures in the United States. If you're self-conscious about your nose, you may be a good candidate.

We've got a new digital soldering station from Hakko, some books and LCD screens. Check them out!Favorited Favorite 0
It's me again! But today it's time for new products. If you missed the AVC Course Preview, check out yesterday's post. We have some cool stuff this week (as always!) so let's see what we've got.
Vimeo version can be found here
We just ran out of time this week with AVC and everything else. But I promise we'll have a video demonstrating how to use the new 4D Systems screens next week.
4D Systems has 4 new screens this week that work with your Raspberry Pi or Arduino. They come in two different sizes each, a 3.2" and 4.3". The Arduino versions come with an adapter shield and the Raspberry Pi versions come with a small adapter board. They communicate over serial and have a new drag and drop programming interface. You don't have to sit there for hours programming tediously to get a slick graphical interface for your next project. Check the video on the product page (and the one above) for some examples of what they do. And be sure to check back next week for a special demonstration video as well.
We've got a new digital version of the Hakko FX-888 this week. The new FX-888D does away with the analog knob and has a nice digital readout for temperature. If you're looking to upgrade your iron, you can't go wrong with a Hakko.
Want to use one of our illuminated rotary encoders, but need a board for it? This simple breakout works with both the Red/Green as well as the RGB version. Just flip it over and use the side with the correct markings (either RG or RGB).
We also have a couple of new books this week. The first is a great book for teaching Python. Python for Kids isn't just for kids, it's for anyone that wants to learn Python, but doesn't want to read a boring textbook. It's got pictures, color, and is actually fun and interesting to read. Check it out.
Lastly, we've got a similar book, but for Scratch. Super Scratch Programming Adventure is a fun and colorful book which teaches you the basics of Scratch programming software. Both of these books are fantastic at approaching technical subjects from a completely different perspective.
Well, that's it for this week. Check back next week for more new products and the demo for the new LCDs. Thanks for reading and see you then!
I was so excited about these 4d systems screens I went and bought one direct from the mfg since sparkfun is already out of stock on the 3 incher. Had a small issue with my order (my mistake) so I skyped the guys down under and they got it fixed real fast!! They seem like a great company, looks like sparkfun has chosen a like-minded group of folks to do business with!!
Does the touch-screen support both landscape/horizontal as well as portrait/vertical layouts? (Yes I'm being lazy in not digging into the spec sheets…)
What's with the "Warranty Void if Removed" sticker on the Raspberry Pi board? :P
Also, that's a nice Sparkfun logo mod. ;)
It's hard to believe
mask = dist[:,0] / dist[:,1] < r_threshold
print '%d / %d inliers/matched' % (np.sum(status), len(status))
has finally become so accepted as the most legible syntax, it's now considered introductory material for kids.
I just purchased the Serial TFT LCD 4.3" with Touchscreen - uLCD43 last week from one of your distributors. Is there a change in the firmware from the older display to the new ones you are carrying or is it just now it comes with the extras for free? Can't wait for the tutorials!!
You guys definitely rushed this one out the door. Two sentences starting with "But…" in the very beginning, a spelling error directly thereafter "…so le't see what we've got." and over-modulation on the audio.
I Love Hakko irons. I've purchased 4 of them - one of which was a 300$ unit - simply because I wanted to give them as gifts once I got mine. Anyone who buys one will not be disappointed. One question about the FX-888D: Why is there only an UP button for temp?
That new screen and its demo were pretty awesome.
Normally these are prepared 18 months in advance for review. It helps to avoid situations just like this.
Right you are - made it live right before running to a meeting. Should be fixed now - thanks for the catch!
Typo alert: the Hakko section contains 'lokoing ', sounds cool anyways..
Got it - thanks!

Nicki Minaj: Married in Mexico?!
Treating herself to a relaxing tropical getaway, Nicki Minaj showed up in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Sunday (March 9).
The "Pink Friday" babe wore a pink getup and attracted plenty of attention thanks to her left-hand diamond ring, though to be a wedding band.
As it turns out, Miss Minaj's rumored beau Safaree Samuels (aka Scaff Beezy) also sported what appeared to be a wedding ring, sparking rumors that the two secret lovers tied the knot.
Prior to leaving for her vacation, Nicki tweeted a photo of teddy bears and flowers she received from her suitor, along with the caption, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. #Year10," referring to the traditional Bible verse from 1 Corinthians 13 that is read at weddings.

The Secret to Skinny
Why cutting salt from your diet can help you lose weight.Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
The Secret to Skinny is a weight loss book created by The Nutrition Twins, Lyssie Lakatos, R.D.and her sister Tammy Lakatos Shames, R.D., who together have been featured on the cover of Woman's World, and have appeared in publications including Cosmopolitan, Self, Good Housekeeping, Vogue, and O Magazine.
The Nutrition Twins suggest that the secret to being skinny has to do with moderating how much salt you get in your diet. Too much salt leads to weight gain, bloat, fluid retention and a craving for other salty and sweet snack foods. But unfortunately, salt is found in practically any processed food whether it's a sugary breakfast cereal, a fast-food burger or a can of low-fat minestrone soup.
The Secret to Skinny features a four-week salt-slashing and pound-slashing diet that trims sodium from your diet without trimming the flavor. In addition to losing weight, you will also benefit from the health benefits that come from watching the sodium in your diet like lower blood pressure and improved heart and kidney function.
On the diet, you will learn how to incorporate key foods - the Anti-Bloaters, Flushers, and Slimmers - foods that get and keep you lean by ridding your body of excess salt and revving your metabolism for maximum fat burning. You'll also discover the Bloaters, Pluggers, Chubbers, and Flabbers - the everyday foods that are derailing your best efforts.
You'll start by following a 10-day jump start plan, which promises to help drop pounds quickly and then you'll move to the remainder of the diet, which features 14 days worth of meals and snack ideas, low-sodium recipes, simple 'salternatives' and food swaps that subtract pounds and add years to your life and tricks to help reduce salt cravings.
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
- Created by two well-known and respected registered dietitians
- Following a low-sodium diet protects against eating processed foods
- Teaches how to make smarter and cleaner food choices
- Retrains the tastebuds
- Female target audience may dissuade men from following it
The Secret to Skinny is a four-week diet that includes a 10-day jump start plan as well as a maintenance plan.
Complete with menus, recipes and red and green light foods, you will also learn how to avoid salt-heavy foods, how to select the best low-sodium foods, six key ways how eating too much salt contributes to weight gain, as well as how salt impacts the function of your heart, kidneys and insulin levels.
The Secret to Skinny involves eating clean foods that are rich in nutrients as well as those that help to reduce bloat and fluid retention in your body. Not only is The Secret to Skinny about losing weight, but it is also about improving your appearance as salt contributes to puffiness and bloat.
In the Secret to Skinny you will learn how to incorporate simple and flavorful low-sodium swaps into your diet for high-sodium ones. The inclusion of salt-free flavorings like fresh herbs, spices and fruit juices are used in place of sodium-rich dressings, marinades and table salt.
Each phase of the diet includes daily meal plans. A sample day might look like this:
- Breakfast: Whole-grain oatmeal topped with berries and raw almonds
- Lunch: Green salad with tons of veggies, chicken breast flavored with herbs and dressed in lemon juice and olive oil
- Dinner: Seasoned vegetables, herbed salmon and a sweet potato topped with spices
The Secret to Skinny's exercise plan includes a combination of cardiovascular exercise as a way to rev up metabolism and sweat out excess sodium from your body and a strength-training component as a way to build lean and strong muscles. For those looking to lose weight, interval training, the kind of exercise that cycles between low to moderate to high intensity, is recommended.CONCLUSION
Created by The Nutrition Twins, The Secret to Skinny is a low-sodium weight loss plan that not only teaches you about how excess sodium in your diet can contribute to weight gain and a host of other medical conditions but it also lays out a clear four-week plan that helps you to lose weight, improve your appearance and retrain your salt-craving tastebuds.
Written by two accomplished and well-known registered dietitians, who happen to be sisters, The Secret to Skinny is an informative and instructive guide for anyone looking to reduce the amount of salt in their diet and improve their health.Common Misspellings

Contact S&W Customer Service number on website. They will instruct you how to proceed. Bob
I have a 65-3 that has a couple of issues and am considering options for repair. Has anyone recent experience with sending a revolver to S&W for repair and has the process been a good one. Also, I've never shipped a revolver before and was wondering about the intricacies involved with shipment.
Contact S&W Customer Service number on website. They will instruct you how to proceed. Bob
When you want the BEST! Bob
as Bob says, that is one of your options, and usually the best way to go, BUT we have to ask, did you have someone look at your issues? another gun person or even a gunsmith? shipping can get and is costly and if it can be addressed locally, all the better...we like to see folks save time & money.
Having been 'in the business' of service & repair often can make a quick, adjustment...still do this all too often now at the gun shows being we are 'retired'.........
NRA Benefactor
just to let you all know they are doing a shut down soon in august you wont get it back right away
I have nothing but praise for the S&W service center. I had them refinish my K-22 and a full thru & thru. The K-22 probably shoots better now than it ever did before. Turn around time was pretty good too.
Trigger work is perfect and it breaks like glass. The finish is perfect.
Doesn't get any better then the repair center in my opinion
Teach them the truth, and let them sort thru the cobwebs of liberalism that have infested their minds.
When the time comes that I don't want a new gun, call the undertaker!
When they come for your guns, give them the ammo first!
.45 ACP, Because shooting twice is just plain silly!
Sorry about not replying sooner, I sent it in on the 12th. For some reason, I have not had good luck with repair of revolvers, but can usually do well with semi-auto pistols and rifles. I shipped it UPS and the price for next day air was over $70. checked the chart, and delivery 1 day later (or less) was $24. I don't know any local smiths, and thought maybe the factory prices would be a bit better. I picked up a nice 5946 to stand in for it while it is in repair, but there is nothing like a well made revolver.
I got the estimate on the repair on Friday. It looks like around $100.00 with the round trip shipping. Now to call in the authorization after the shutdown.
Shutdown over today. Now to get the repair going.
