It's a good thing Dallas has a very inconsistant pass rush... the weakness may be a blessing.
The only positive we have going into this game is that Romo has not thrown any Int's the past 3 games
:bang2: No.
Well then 3 things make sense to me.
1. Use the blitzes that got to him 5 times.
2. Use the blitzes that created pressures and hits that especially created incompletions or yards for loss.
3. Don't utilize the blitzes that he's recognized well, burned and moved the ball. Come up with things that he has not seen yet and would apply to throwing their offensive strategy off.
I'm not saying it's easier than crying before we play the game but it's definitely a more assertive approach than making this article more so reality.
Screw this Kid, lets get super physical. We just made Michael Vick look bottom tier. Bust this kids fresh legs and ribs.
He is a lot better than Vick:bang2:
Could have sworn it's a team game too.
The kid breathes air and bleeds just like the rest.
Bet those ribs and that head on his shoulders recognize blugeoning just like the other humans too.
I say we start there. I think Bruce Carter is the perfect Spy LB for this guy.
We need to get very physical with their WR's and sniff those quick outs properly. Bust their freaken wheels.
I wasn't going to watch the game at first because of how scary RG3 is but I decided what the hell no point in running away from it. So if RG3 gives me heartburn on Turkey Day then I have to deal with it
Also, I can't wait to see how Bruce Carter does this Thursday. Should be a close, exciting game. :starspin
Just as good when they both first came out. Wasnt a passing league and certainly didn't protect the QB like now then so get off the stats.
Biggest difference is Vick is older and has gotten his head and ribs cracked from playing over the years.
RG3's are still fresh. No use keeping it that way play by play.
3-4's eat up a young QB's spread offense.
Keep bouncing your head off the wall over this kid. He's got 4 days to prepare and 1 he's flying down.
Welcome his _***_ back to Texas properly. With a good ole head cracking.
This ain't Baylor and this is no slow defense. The skins are 4-6 and we need to get to 6-5.
Punch his shifty crap in the face.
I think we have been preparing for Washington while we had been preparing for Clevelands known to be 1 dimensional offense and battered defensive secondary. We did look a little past them. Don't care what these guys said post conference.
I pound on our teams deficiencies with the best of them.
But by no means should we fear 1 player on Thanksgiving day in our house.
Ware, Hatcher, Ratliff and Carter are gonna force him to his right. Check where all of his big plays are. His left.........
Move Sensy closer up to his right and Peprah center field deep.
Absolutely bump coverage their WR's. MLB blitz this kid.
I hope you are right.
Ryan needs to go watch what Pittsburgh did against the Deadskins.
3-4 defense that was hella physical with the rookie. Steelers showed him all kinds of looks.
Rob knows what he's doing and his troops have bought into what he and his side of the ball's coaches are preparing towards weekly.
The defense looked like it could have played another quarter easily against and that was a physical RB and o-line they faced.
We're in shape for this quick week. Used to it too. I don't think they are.
We should score on them.
What scares me the most is he reminds me of a 2000 mcnabb.
I think we all remember those days
From what I've seen, play inside leverage on the outside to take away the 3 step read-option slants that seem to be a staple of R2D2's game. Make him beat you outside the numbers. Him him, hit him and hit him some more. 1 or 2 15 yd penalties early in the game wouldn't bother me a bit. Should be a close game either way.
I have seen a ferociousness in Demarcus Ware when hitting the QB the last 2 weeks that was the only thing I ever questioned about the guy.
There is no doubt that he has taken it personally to be the catalyst on this defense and bring an added physicality that we have not formerly displayed the past 4 years.
That man has eye of the tiger right now and he won't have this kid out play his unit.
I like the way this defense is starting to hit people. RG3 isn't going to like it.
RG3 doesn't scare me. Allowing him to be comfortable, giving him his quick out passes and easy lanes to run, while letting him out the pocket when those quick outs aren't available does.
Don't discount Alfred Morris because I'm certain Shanny's gonna try to use him to balance things. Do not let Garcon get hot. This is Carr's type of WR and I'm certain Moss is Claiborne's as well.
You would think RGIII also walks on water and turns wine into bread the way people are talking about him. Cowboys stand no chance. I mean, never mind that the Deadskins terrible defense has to take the field.
If you remember that era well, you should know it was Jim Johnson's defense that beat us time after time. McNabb got his, but he seldom did the damage those defenses did.
With that said the best defense against this kid if he's even half the QB you've built up to be in your little head, is a good offense.
Do you really favor that kid against our defense more so than Romo against their bottom tier defense?
Maybe so but I just remember Mcnabb playing a role in the eagles beating us from 2000 to 2002, six straight wins. It didn't change until Parcells was hired in 2003 when we beat them for the first in 5 years
Play in the rain and have your receivers drop a dozen passes.
Meh, I think rg3 is good. So what? The Redskins are just a bad team overall. He's one player they have no receiving weapons, a porous secondary, no pass rush, and their right tackle is garbage. At some point in the year the offense has to wake up and score some points no reason that shouldn't happen against one of the worst secondaries in the league.

'Cats go quietly again in series opener versus Aberdeen
Offense manages just four hits; team loses for 4th time in 5 games
By Matt Appel / Tri-City ValleyCats | July 7, 2013 5:28 PM ET
TROY, NY- The way the Tri-City ValleyCats have hit for the past week, it is hard to recall a stretch in which they scored at least eight runs in five consecutive home games to start the season. On Sunday, it was more of the same in the most recent frustrating performance, a 3-1 loss to the Aberdeen Ironbirds.
For the second night in a row, the 'Cats wasted a very strong outing from its starter. A day after Andrew Thurman allowed just one hit in his four-inning performance, Kyle Westwood permitted the same amount of base hits in five innings of work, and added three strikeouts. When Westwood departed from the game, he was in line for the win as the ValleyCats led 1-0.
That one run would not be enough, and the Tri-City bullpen once again could not retain the lead. Chris Cotton (0-1) came in relief for Westwood in the 6th, and after facing only two batters, had already surrendered the lead, after Aberdeen left fielder Mike Yastrzemski (grandson of Red Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski) tripled in a run. In the eighth, with the score still tied at one, Cotton gave up another run-scoring hit to Yastrzemski, this time a double down the right field line. That hit followed a fly ball that 'Cats center fielder D'Andre Toney dropped, which proved costly. The Ironbirds scored once more in the inning to take a 3-1 lead that held up.
In the bottom of the 7th, the ValleyCats had a golden opportunity to take the lead. Two walks and a single loaded the bases, and 'Cats manager Ed Romero decided to pinch-hit for Chan Moon with Ernesto Genoves. On the second pitch of the at-bat, Aberdeen reliever Jorge Rivera (2-0) induced an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play. Then, in the ninth, Tri-City put two runners on with just one out, but Toney grounded into a double play to end the game on the first pitch. A night after going 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position, the ValleyCats followed up with a 1-for-12 performance, leaving seven men on base. Romeo held a closed-door meeting with the team after the game, to stress focus and concentration in situations with runners on base and the score close.
The loss was the fourth in five nights for the 'Cats, who dropped to 13-8 on the season. This was the ninth time in just 21 games that the 'Cats have scored three runs or fewer. Their record in those games is 1-8.
The lone Tri-City run came in the third inning with Chan Moon on third, and Ryan Dineen at the plate. Dineen hit a ground ball to second, scoring Moon, and reaching first himself after a fielding error by Aberdeen second basemen Jeff Kemp. That run represents the only tally for Tri-City in its last 13 innings, going back to Saturday's loss versus Lowell.
After the game, the ValleyCats' special Relay for Life jerseys were auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. During the game, it was announced that Mark Appel, the 2013 #1 overall draft pick of Houston, will make another start for Tri-City on Tuesday against the Ironbirds. That is an 11 AM start.
The starters for tomorrow's game are LHP Randall Fant (0-1, 4.76) for the 'Cats and LHP Steven Brault (1-0, 1.23) for Aberdeen. It is "Bark in the Park Night," as fans are allowed to bring their dogs to the stadium. First pitch is slated for 7:00.

With shares of Merck (NYSE:MRK) trading around $58, is MRK an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Merck is a global healthcare company that delivers health solutions through its prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, animal health, and consumer care products, which it markets directly and through its joint ventures. The company consists of four operating segments: the Pharmaceutical, Animal Health, Consumer Care, and Alliances segments, and one reportable segment in the Pharmaceutical segment. Merck aims to provide valuable healthcare products and services to consumers, animals, and companies in need worldwide. Look for the company to see rising profits as it advances the products and services of the healthcare field.
Merck research Chief Roger Perlmutter has stated that the company is more than open to the idea of buying big acquisitions of biotech companies rather than go forward and obtain drug development technologies. Mr. Perlmutter reiterated the company's attitude for new deals at the back of the planned $3.85 billion acquisition of Idenix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:IDIX). Merck has already announced its plans to buy Idenix and planning to combine the two company's oral drugs for hepatitis C, with a view of producing a faster cure for the fatal liver infection that currently affects more than 170 million people worldwide. This is part of Merck's efforts to be a pioneer in the development of Hepatitis C drugs. Mr. Roger also maintains that newer drugs are hoped at tripling therapy using Idenix's IDX21437 sure to make Merck a top competitor in the Hepatitis C spectrum. Merck's $3.85 billion acquisition of Idenix essentially gives it additional experimental medicines. Idenix Pharmaceuticals is reported to be developing a medicine class called 'nucs,' a valuable part in new treatment regimens.

When Oro Valley native Jessica Hickam finished working as a production assistant on "Star Trek Into Darkness," she had a "now what?" moment.
In her early 20s and living in Los Angeles, Hickam decided to go for it — she would polish and publish the young-adult novel she had written two years earlier in college.
"The Revealed" follows Lily Atwood, the teen daughter of one of the world's most powerful men, in her struggle against a new threat to peace as the world recovers from international war.
The story came to Hickam in scenes, inspired by a conversation with her younger sister about how much of the human brain goes unused.
On Tuesday, SparkPress, a Tempe publisher, will publish the Arizona State University grad's first novel. Today, the 25-year-old Hickam hits up her hometown for a book signing and reading at Mostly Books, 6208 E. Speedway.
We chatted with the newly published author by phone about life in L.A., writing and Tucson's best eats.
On the first draft:
Hickam has a college class to thank for the publication of "The Revealed." As a journalism and mass communications student at ASU, Hickam had a professor who promised an "A" for punctuality and perfect attendance, even if students chose not to pay attention in class. Hickam wrote the first draft in six months.
"I would sit in that lecture hall and just write," Hickam said. "Every second I had, I had to be writing. I couldn't put it down. It definitely captures you."
Hickam has four books planned for the series.
On Los Angeles: With a passion for acting and film, Hickam always planned to move to L.A. After graduating, she spent about two or three months in the city before landing her first assistant job on a game show.
"I was jumping on every set I could," she said. "I did extra work, and it is not the most glamorous work you can do. ... I'm in Los Angeles and I'm on 'Pretty Little Liars' (as a high school student), and you're on set for 13 hours a day and making no money. But it was a total adventure and exploration, and I look back now and laugh."
When she got a job on the set of "Star Trek Into Darkness" as assistant to concept designer Neville Page, she was "totally immersed in that life" and "ate, slept and breathed it."
Hickam also works as a freelance writer for the entertainment website
SheKnows.com and does video interviews and hosting.
On acting and writing: "I started writing in fifth grade when my teacher gave a scary story Halloween assignment," Hickam said. "It was the first time a teacher had ever said, 'Write for fun. Be creative.' It was so eye-opening for me. … I think what kept me writing is I've always been passionate about acting, and that was something I discovered at a young age. There are not a lot of outlets in Tucson for film acting, and writing filled that void. I could create these new worlds and live with these characters, and from the comfort of my own home."
On driving: To make the most of her Los Angeles commutes, Hickam listens to audio books on Audible.com or music that inspires her writing.
"I always warn people in the car, because they want to listen to 'Happy, yay, let's drive' music," she said. "I have the worst taste in music. It's emo, moody instrumental writing music. I say, 'You can listen to my iPod, but sorry.'"
Driving time is also brainstorming time, so she keeps notepads handy.
"I'll pull over on the side of the road," she said. "Sometimes you work things through in your head that you know you'll lose if you don't put them down right away."
On visiting Tucson: Born and raised in Oro Valley, Hickam tells everyone about Eegee's.
Frost, A Gelato Shoppe is another sweet spot for Hickam, who got her first job there. The eatery has also employed her two younger sisters, and she calls it "family at this point." For lunch, her family likes Ra Sushi, another must when Hickam is in town.
"Tucson will always be my home," said the Ironwood Ridge High School graduate.
Her main character, Lily, also called Oro Valley home at one point, and the head of the fictional family's security lives in a guest house decorated with Southwestern spice.
"Tucson has a specific aesthetic," Hickam said. "People decorate with rocks and have saguaro cactus paintings on the wall, and you'll see that in the book."

over those nervy 4ft putts.
The beautiful River Ure meanders through this easy-to-walk
course in the breathtaking Vale of York and makes for some
interesting shots. At the Aldwark Manor hotel you don't have to hit

a drive which needs to be landed to perfection to miss the two
fairway bunkers, and then negotiates a pond with a beautiful mature
oak tree placed to make the approach shot that little bit more
Nestling in the hotel's 220 acres of private grounds, Hellidon
Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel's championship course offers challenges
aplenty for beginners and scratch golfers alike. As you might
expect, many of the 27 holes feature water hazards, albeit with a
choice of challenging carries over, or safer routes around the
numerous lakes; on the par 5 twelfth, for instance, two long shots
over the water can end in triumph or disaster, whereas three shots
along the zigzag route can yield a solid par.

Trant's environmental and eco works
Trant, the civil engineering and construction firm based in Southampton, Hampshire, England, has provided essential work for Channel Island Guernsey and its water supply.
ARCADIS UK (http://www.arcadis-
In essence, the groundwater plant scheme involves a new drainage system and additional pollution control measures to afford a greater level of protection for the island's water supply.
The new plant will treat surface and groundwater from the international airfield, before entering the Beau Valley stream to the north of the airport boundary, and help filter out traces of a toxic chemical, previously used in firefighting foam and called perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS).
An environmental requirement of the Airport 2040 development, www.gov.gg/airport2040, which will equip the airfield to service the island for the next 30 years, the work dovetailed with an £80m project to upgrade the airport's surfaces.
The operation of the treatment plant was required under waste licence to allow removal of 7,000m3 of soil contaminated with PFOS; affected soil was sealed inside a container and covered with a mound of earth.
Production of PFOS began to be phased out in 2000; now concentrations in finished and semi-finished products must no exceed 10mg/kg.
The success of the environment project was achieved through in-house multi-disciplinary teamwork and experienced site staff, with Trant's specialist clean water engineering team leading the way.
Trant worked closely with ARCADIS UK, Guernsey Airport (http://www.guernsey-
It was reportedly the first scheduled closure, other than Christmas Day, since 1974.
The scheme is designed to filter flows of us to 20l/s by diverting these from the Lovers Leap outfall up to the filtration plant where it passes first through anthracite filters and then through granulated activated carbon filters before returning by gravity back to Lovers Leap and discharged to stream.
Key partners on the project:
ARCADIS UK carried out the project management and overall design;
Trant Construction carried out the following detailed design in-house; anthracite pressure filters, granulated activated carbon, process, electrical and ICA;
Trant Construction was responsible for the civil, mechanical, electrical installation and commissioning;
Trant Systems Electrical (TSE) - www.t-s-e.co.uk - designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned the new motor control centre and treatment control panel. TSE also developed the functional design specification and process software.
Laurent Wallis, M&E Project Manager for Trant (http://www.trant.co.uk/)
"We have again been able to demonstrate our capabilities in providing complete civil, mechanical, electrical, design, construction and commissioning within programme.
"We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our partners and staff at ARCADIS UK for its considerable assistance and willingness to work together to successfully deliver the project to completion."
ARCADIS UK, which carried out the environmental study and design for the scheme and project-managed construction, said: "Because of the client's compressed time schedule, the specification was performance-
"Procurement of the bespoke process elements was always going to be extremely challenging as this was where the critical path lay.
"Part-way through the nine-month build, the client requested to have the plant functional two weeks earlier than March 30th planned completion.
"This was to ensure that ground water would be treated when excavation started on March 20th for the ensuing runway improvement contract. The challenge was met by Trant who made great efforts to successfully achieve this."
How the mission was achieved:
A site compound was first established encompassing Lovers Leap and a section of the Airport Fire Training Ground, which was assigned landside status for ease of construction activities.
Key factors in project delivery were providing Guernsey Airport with project flexibility, continued equipment supplier support, post-contract completion (The States of Guernsey expects and requires the same level of response from suppliers as if on the UK mainland) and continued process support, post-contract completion.
Specific points related to the contract:
Trant's design team worked closely with ARCADIS UK and Guernsey Airport to ensure that the project remained on schedule and that the particular health and safety and security aspects involved with working on an international airport were adhered to.
Advanced notice was required for lifting operations.
Low visibility periods are common during the first quarter of the year on Guernsey and due to safety concerns it was necessary to suspend all works in designated areas and postpone lifting operations.
Due to Guernsey's small and busy road network it was necessary for larger items of plant and equipment to be brought in along the island's designated heavy goods route prior to 6am and across the airport runway with the assistance of airport operations.
With the largest crane on the island being 25 tonnes, and due to the layout of the filter plant, it was necessary to perform a tandem lift for each of the GAC filters.
Throughout the project Trant remained in close contact with airport operations and the control tower to ensure that sufficient notice was given of any requirements and that any safety concerns they had were dealt with immediately.

What is a good chew/bone option for my shih tzu?
I'd like to give my 5 yr old shih tzu a bone/chew that is good for his teeth and gums, safe for his gut, and fun for him to have. He tends to gulp things so I stopped giving him anything that could come off in chunks (ie. greenies, raw hide, etc.)
Is there a raw bone option that I could ask for at the butcher or order online that would be appropriate for him? I don't know much about this so not sure what animal or body part to give him. Best to get him something super yummy to get him interested in it.... typical finicky shih tzu!! :)
Note: He does get a weekly toothbrushing and eats dry kibble.

Kudos for you to looking into what's in your dog's best interest! Raw meaty bones are a great chew choice, but like any chew, you must supervise the dog while they chew it to be sure no chunks are broken off.
Raw meaty bones clean a dog's teeth better than Greenies, Rawhide, or any other chew I have used. They are also all-natural and ultra-healthy (so do not be surprised if he gets some runny poop after eating his first RMB). But the BEST thing you could do is brush your dog's teeth every day with dog toothpaste and a toothbrush.
Good RMB's for a small dog would include:
Whole chickens, whole rabbit(REALLY good!), whole cornish gamehens(REALLY good), turkey necks, pigs feet, ostrich feet, whole oxtails(good), whole chicken feet, whole tilipia, turkey wings, whole duck (watch out for duck, it's VERY fatty, cut the skin off), and anything larger than you dog's head is fine. If you feed a fatty cut, your dog will be more likely to get the runs, so I would stick to your leanest options.

The Solar Access to Public Capital (SAPC) working group has completed development of standard residential lease and commercial power purchase agreement (PPA) contracts available for use by developers, customers, and third-party finance providers in the solar industry. These documents are designed to improve consumer transparency, reduce transaction costs in the solar asset contracting process, and facilitate the pooling of the associated cash flows so that they may be securitized and sold in the capital markets.
Download the contracts here:
Residential Contracts
- 0% Down Residential Lease – Aggregated Business Model (for vertically integrated developers and installers)
- 0% Down Residential Lease – Disaggregated Business Model (for developers with a network of installation partners, or third-party finance providers that are discrete entities)
- Residential PPA Agreement – Aggregated Business Model
- Residential PPA Agreement – Disaggregated Business Model
Commercial Contracts
SAPC standardization efforts are ongoing. Please refer back to our website for the most recent versions of these and other contract types. Also coming soon: best practice guidelines for system installation and operations and maintenance (O&M).
If you have any questions on these contracts, please contact Paul Schwabe at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you.
NREL has launched a multi-year project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Balance of System Program, which aims to facilitate and hasten the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry's access to public capital through securitized instruments and other investment vehicles. The project comprises three distinct efforts, each targeting a market barrier to solar securitization: Solar Access to Public Capital (SAPC) working group, data collection, and analysis.
The Solar Access to Public Capital Working Group
SAPC is an assembly of over 200 leading organizations in the fields of solar deployment, finance, counsel, and analysis. The group's efforts are directed toward opening the capital markets to the solar asset class and building investor confidence in solar-backed investments. Activities include: the standardization of power purchase and lease contracts used by solar developers, installers, and integrators at the commercial and residential level; the development of standards for PV installation, operations and maintenance, evaluation criteria, and other aspects of project development and performance; the submittal of mock pools of solar assets to ratings agencies for unofficial ratings guidance; the collection of performance and credit data for use by ratings agencies, investors, and other stakeholders; and others.

Data Collection
To effectively assess the risks inherent to PV assets, and to ensure optimal credit ratings for solar securities, the market requires extensive amounts of data on system performance. To address this need, NREL has partnered with SunSpec—an industry-leading association of monitoring, component, and development entities—to build the O-SPaRC database which will draw performance information from thousands of systems across the United States. The database is designed to improve access to low-cost financial capital by providing credit rating agencies and investors a storehouse of information to conduct their analyses and get comfortable with the solar asset class.
Additionally, NREL is in dialogue with a number of parties to obtain additional performance data, as well as data on customer defaults to help assess the credit quality of the cash flows associated with PV assets.
Understanding the opportunities, barriers, and mechanics to financing solar PV with public capital is critical for all stakeholders—from developers, investors, counsel, and credit ratings agencies to policymakers, regulators, utilities, and the research community. To promote this understanding, NREL will produce analyses to assess the solar asset class and its potential in the public capital markets.

When Celesta Wilson began to write about her childhood, she thought it might become a paperback, or possibly a printout from her home computer.
Now, the 81-year-old Lyon County native can hold a 365-page, hardback book that tells her life story in her hands.
"I wanted to leave information about my early life for my grandchildren," Wilson said. "I had no intentions of it becoming this."
Wilson, who has lived in Paducah since 1949, said her son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Rona Branson, saw that she was working on the project and encouraged her to keep at it. Wilson took their advice and three years later her book, "Between-the-Rivers and Beyond," was published.
Wilson spent the first 17 years of her life in the area between the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, which would officially be called Land Between the Lakes in the 1960s. In Wilson's youth, it was known as Between the Rivers, and hers was one of hundreds of families that called it home.
"It was a poor area, but it wasn't like Appalachia. Nobody went to bed hungry and we all had clothes to wear and food to eat," Wilson said.
Wilson said one of her main goals in writing to book was to show how people lived in a simpler era. In her youth, Wilson spent hours listening to her grandmother, Nancy Watkins, and her mother, Ida Watkins Peal, describe life during the Great Depression.
She took notes on their experiences and added some of her own.
Although her household didn't have electricity until Wilson was a sophomore at Lyon County High School, she said she never felt particularly deprived. Doing her schoolwork by the light of a kerosene lamp and walking two miles to school or to the grocery store was just part of life.
"We didn't know any different. It was a way of life, and I didn't know what went on in the city," she said.
As Between the Rivers was rural, Wilson decided to relocate to Paducah to find work after high school. Wilson's mother - widowed in 1941 - remained on the family's farmland until the government's creation of Land Between the Lakes forced her to relocate to Grand Rivers.
LBL, an inland peninsula, was formed when the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers were impounded in the 1940s and 1960s, respectively. The impoundments, which resulted in Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, left portions of the area underwater. Wilson said the subsequent creation of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in 1963 led to more relocations.
"My mother was heartbroken," Wilson said. "There were actually people that lived up there that moved three times. None of them (was) happy about it. They did not want to be relocated."
But in conversation, Wilson doesn't dwell much on the development of LBL. Her book is a personal chronicle rather than a historical text, delving into her two marriages, her experiences with motherhood, and her more than three decades of employment at Southern Bell, later known as BellSouth Telecommunications. Wilson has dubbed the book, which contains more than 800 photos, a pictorial autobiography.
"There's not anything about this book that's secret," she said, laughing.
"Between-the-Rivers and Beyond" is not available for purchase, but Wilson has donated copies to the McCracken County Public Library, the library at West Kentucky Community & Technical College, and the United Methodist Women's Library at Fountain Avenue United Methodist Church, of which she is a member.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. Campbell returns home for the only time in a five-game segment of the A-Sun schedule Wednesday when the Fighting Camels host Florida Gulf Coast in a 7:00 p.m. start. The game will air on WCLN 107.3 FM and on-line at www.GoCamels.com.
The Camels (7-12, 4-6) dropped a 73-65 decision Saturday at USC Upstate. FGCU (9-13, 5-6) has lost 3 of its last 4, including a 75-65 decision Sunday at home vs. Jacksonville. CU is 6-2 at home this year, while the Eagles are 0-9 on the road.
Florida Gulf Coast claimed a 72-68 win over the Camels on Dec. 13 at Fort Myers. Michigan transfer Reed Baker scored 26 points, while Derrick O'Neil added 16, plus 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Jonathan Rodriguez (12) and Lorne Merthie (11) hit double figures for Campbell.
Gulf Coast won last year's meeting with the Camels, 78-73 at Carter Gym, but only seven players (3 FGCU, 4 CU), who saw action in that game are on 2008-09 rosters at their respective schools.
On Saturday at USC Upstate, Jonathan Rodriguez moved past Henry Wilson (724 from 1985-89) into 4th place on the Campbell career rebounds chart. "J-Rod" has 726 boards in 80 contests. Rodriguez (1,483 points) also ranks second among all NCAA Division I junior class members, behind only Stephen Curry of Davidson (2,155).
William Kossangue became the 6th different Camel to lead the team in scoring this year last Thursday at ETSU with his 18-point effort. Jonathan Rodriguez has topped the team 14 times through 18 games, while Kossangue, Amir Celestin, Kyle Vejraska, Chris Reynolds and Matt Gwynne have paced the squad once each.
Lorne Merthie scored a career-high 17 points at Upstate, shooting 5-7 from the floor (3-5 threes), 4-5 from the line, while also dealing 2 assists and grabbing 4 steals.
FGCU has not won away from home since Jan. 26, 2008, an 87-80 victory at Gardner-Webb. FGCU ended 2007-08 with losses in its last 5 road games and has extended that string to 14-straight setbacks outside Fort Myers this season.
Only three players -- Delvin Franklin, Chad Lutkenhaus and Harris Gelin -- return from last year's Florida Gulf Coast squad that posted a 10-21 overall record and 6-10 mark in its first year in the A-Sun. Franklin is averaging 11.7 points per game and has hit 53-134 threes (.396) through 22 games.
Florida Gulf Coast is the lone A-Sun school to defeat East Tennessee State this year, collecting a 64-61 victory Jan. 12 at Fort Myers. Delvin Franklin scored 18 points and the Eagles closed the game on a 15-4 run to defeat the Bucs.
FGCU ranks 2nd among A-Sun schools in defensive field goal percentage (.407) and 5th in scoring defense (69.2 points allowed per outing). In 11 conference games, the Eagles lead the A-Sun by allowing foes to shoot only 39.1 percent from the floor.
Three transfers rank among FGCU's top four scorers this year. Reed Baker (Michigan) leads the club at 13.8 points per game. Kyle Marks (Nebraska) is third on the squad at 9.5, while Derrick O'Neil (Florida CC) is contributing 8.4 per outing. Six-foot-10 transfer George Erkvania, who is averaging 0.7 points in 7.9 minutes per game, was a teammate last year of Campbell junior Miles Taylor at Pensacola JC.
FGCU freshman Christian Wolf is the son of former North Carolina standout Jeff Wolf and the nephew of ex-UNC All-American and 1987 NBA 1st-round draft pick Joe Wolf.
Following Wednesday's game, the Camels travel to Kennesaw State (Saturday) and Mercer (Monday).

Words to Live By: The Spirit of Inquiry
The gentleman uses learning to ennoble himself; the petty man uses learning as a bribe to win attention from others. —Xunzi (Hsun Tzu), c. 310-220 b.c.e.
Through this quote, Xunzi establishes the difference between a respectable person and a small-minded one, explicitly in terms of acquiring knowledge. He states that a "gentleman" is eager to learn out of interest and in the spirit of inquiry. On the other hand, "the petty man" uses learning to celebrate how brilliant he is. Instead of a desire to improve their writing or a willingness to get to know a fellow classmate, these "petty" people are more concerned with how they appear to the general public. They want the whole world to acknowledge what they have accomplished: the hours of charity work done in an underdeveloped country, the robotics research project lead at Harvard, the A+ received on a recent HONORS History paper. Not only do they want people to know of such accomplishments, but they also expect praise and celebration as a subsequent outcome.
Deerfield is known to attract some of the most motivated and talented students in the world. This collective group of exemplary work ethics and early successes generate a sort of pressure to always do well, whether it is in academics, sports, music, or social life. It is only natural for Deerfield students to take pride in their achievements, as they are fundamental ingredients in expressing who they are as individuals. Having said that, the burden of perfectionism often leads to a disastrous cycle of working to impress, or learning for the approval of our parents, teachers, coaches, and friends. For this reason, Deerfield students should refer to Xunzi's quote and keep in mind the difference between genuine and inauthentic learning. We should challenge ourselves in order to enrich our interests and equip ourselves to become more capable people. So the next time you have optional crew practice or an abstract English essay prompt, don't take the easy way out. Rather, learn "to ennoble" yourself by going harder at practice and by choosing the difficult topic that won't necessarily get you a better grade. These opportunities will translate to a more enriching Deerfield experience, and make a greater impact on those around us.

Discussion in 'January 2009' started by Dlev59, Jan 19, 2009.
And this move has made it so much better.
Like John Barry said, "this is not Detroit Basketball"
I'm watching the game,(haven't seem em in awhile) and I shout about the %%% %%%% turnovers, so the wife checks the oven...Sees that it's empty, and then shuts off the TV. She says that I'm swearing too much lately. Imagine that...:icon_evil:
this game was a fluke when coach curry gets the rotations down in a few months we will be fine
You talkin bout summer ball right?
We just need time to "gel"
I think they were for a while
that's not the point. you said that the lineup change killed our team chemistry. my point is, you can't kill what you didn't have to begin with. i think there's arguable validity to some of your other points about what we lose with this line up. but i just can't agree that this lineup change killed our team chemistry.
Is your TV in the oven?
Ok this line-up has killed what was left of our team chemistry. IMO, there was still some left. The effort seem to be gone now as well.
Have you now settled on a sample size of one game?
It is now...
HA we still had some left??..could've fooled me and this was an ugly game for the Pistons obviously but I think it's way to early to say this new lineup is a failure which is seems like your basically saying... Like Mike Jackson was saying the Pistons just don't have any leadership...Prince is too soft spoken...AI has never been a vocal leader he's more a lead by example....Stuckey is too young...and Sheed well next......Rip i dont think he's the vocal leader type too but idk..
Screw this team. I don't really mind losing if we play hard and smart out there. This is pathetic. Downright pathetic.
and 1 more thing...when is the last time Amir has played and wasn't taken out because of foul trouble...I mean its not like this guy is a rookie..its his 4th year... that crap is getting old...EVERY game he just picks up foul after foul...he was playing great in the 1st quarter but he couldn't even come back in cuz he picked up 3 fouls..
Okay, fair enough, you saw some still left and I didn't. No point arguing that since chemistry is clearly a matter of perception. And I agree that the effort was gone tonight. The weird thing (and I can't remember if you saw the Toronto game) is that the effort and energy was very clearly there against them. I know you were skeptical of that victory because of Toronto being bad and I think that skepticism makes sense where some areas of the game are concerned: i.e. their weakness may have exaggerated some aspects of our game such as offensive efficiency. but I don't really see how playing a weak team could make it look like we were trying harder and bringing more energy. More generally, I think that much of what you listed as a result of this lineup change (Richard to 6th man) has more to do with the trade and, actually more precisely, with the failure on the part of Joe D. to round out the trade by balancing the roster in other ways given the imbalances created by the Chauncey for Allen trade.
I love my Pistons, ignore the wife to watch them and sometimes get behind in work to converse with my friends here, but this team is lacking something and in it's current state we will finish with .500 record at best and will be lucky to hold on to the 7th spot.... We are @42 games now and at first it was said that we would need 15-20 games to get situated, then 30..what now 60?? The small lineup is killing us no matter if the start it or not. We were down by 4 (55-51) with a little more than 3 mins left in the half, and MC swapped Max for AI and the Mavs finished the qtr on a 8-0 run and never really looked back. (rip and Stuckey were already out there). MC is trying to play his best five players, but 3 of them are "short people". Somebodies need to be moved and lets start at the top with Curry and then AI or Rip. I like AI, but if someone offered me a big man who could score, rebound, post up, slash and not get fouls, I would pull that deal...but alas, we are planning for the future so Cap is more important than keeping fans happy in 2009.....so it looks like the grim ripper....has to go.
Are you still listing all the things you dislike about Chauncey ? What's going to change ? Bynum will still be forced to play. AA will still be relegated to the remaining back-up SF minutes. And the floor will still be crowded with AI/Stuck b/c they are repetitive. Prince will still be inconsistent as he has been for 4+ years. We will still play small b/c Curry will not sacrifice AI's minutes. Our defense will still suffer. If you need to see the results repeatedly to make a decision fine. But this is eerily similar to the Flip Saunders era. People defending him, defending him, every year saying this would be it, ignoring the pattern, and then some people having to admit they were wrong after 3 years. It's been a half a season. These line-up changes are b/c of the AI trade since we now have two SG's. I think it's safe to say it's not working. There's no magic fix. And Curry is exacerbating the situation with his decision making.
Curry can't coach. Or at least, he just refuses to. The rest of the game is not as important as the fact we don't have a coach for this team. Dumars might want to address that. A two point game late in the 2nd quarter. We have at that point, thrown the ball away enough to have given Dallas 10 points off resulting fast breaks. Dirk was lighting up Amir to start the game. But yet, there we were, competing well. Curry was even playing a good rotation. He had, to that point, had a center and a power forward in at all times. So what does he do with his success to that point? He throws it all away. He goes, for no reason at all, to small ball. Tay guarding Dirk. Dirk abuses Tay inside. We give up a 14-4 run to end the 2nd quarter, giving Dallas a 12 point lead at the half. Curry also played the Dyess / Sheed pair to start the 4th, in effect tossing the game away. Sure, we were already down 18, but you got a quarter to go yet. Teams do make comebacks. But not with this coach at the helm. He deliberately finds the wrong buttons to push. He had to play small ball. Regardless if it fits the game at hand. And he desperately had to play the Dyess / Sheed pair, again, who cares if it fits what is going on. Amir was burnt by Dirk a lot, but at least Amir stayed with Dirk well and made him shoot somewhat difficult shots. Amir got some back for us, as we had 10 points off his offensive boards and one steal. JMAX gave us some good minutes, including guarding Dirk well in the 2nd quarter. Which makes it quite amazing that Curry pulled JMAX at that point to go small. A coach who can't even see what is going on in front of his own eyes is quite worthless. Afflalo played plenty. Hit a few shots. Bynum hit some shots, opened both the 2nd and 4th quarters. Result of that plus lots of garbage time: Stuckey and AI played light minutes. Heck, Kwame even got some burn. Actually made two free throws, and some shots around the basket. Looked good. With 5 minutes yet to go, and the game still not totatlly out of reach, Curry completely throws in the towel by putting Herrmann in the game. Gee, this guy is desperate for us to lose I guess. Teams do come back from 18 down with 5 minutes to go. Believe it or not. This is twice in recent games Curry has decided not to even let his team try for a comeback. Not good. Sheed did not do much. Dyess very little. Tay? Not much. AI, little. Few shots even, especially in the first half. Stuckey? Some shots here and there. Can't say didly for his defense. The Rip coming off the bench thing did work in this one. Rip looked fresh as can be in the 2nd quarter, and was hitting shots, both from outside and driving in. But then Curry ruined it all, insisting on bringing back in his other starters while leaving Rip in. Now Rip is guarding the small forward, a guy he can't begin to guard. Just because Rip was doing well, no, its no reason to revert to small ball. Well, again, I suppose you will hear a bunch of excuses about effort from Curry. No, do not expect him to raise his hand and say he messed up. But he did. And he could start gaining a bit of respect as a coach if he took some responsibility.
Oooooo. Petty and angry. You didn't answer my question. But that's ok. I already knew the answer.
Separate names with a comma.

WASHINGTON – U.S. officials denied Tuesday there is a plan to base Osprey aircraft in Uganda to scale up the mission to catch the brutal African warlord Joseph Kony.
The Washington Post reported the Pentagon has asked for permission to temporarily base sophisticated CV-22 Ospreys, which can land like helicopters but fly like planes, in the country to help U.S. and African troops move swiftly across a broader area and quickly attack Kony's camps of Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) fighters.
A State Department official in Washington said there were "no plans at this time to deploy Osprey to support the counter-LRA mission."
Kony heads the LRA, which is accused of killing more than 100,000 people in a two-decade reign of terror in Central Africa.
The group also is blamed for the abduction of between 60,000 and 100,000 children and the displacement of 2.5 million people.
Kony, a self-proclaimed prophet who claims his rebels are fighting to establish a government based on the Biblical Ten Commandments, and other LRA leaders face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court.
U.S. President Barack Obama launched a small American mission in 2011 to help Ugandan troops scour the African jungles for Kony, but it has had no success so far.
The Post reported Monday that the operation has been quietly intensified and expanded in recent weeks, including with U.S. special operations commanders working to train and support local troops in the Congo, as well as Ugandan and South Sudanese units.
"We're at a new stage in this mission," Col. Kevin Leahy told the Post. He commands the 100 special operations troops pursuing the Lord's Resistance Army. "All of the pieces are coming together, and we're pushing on all fronts."
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: "We do continue to consult with our African partners and look for ways that we can enhance our support. But again, at this time, no plans to deploy Osprey.
"Our view is that we've made demonstrable progress in weakening and degrading the LRA's capabilities," Psaki told reporters, adding that in recent years two of the top five LRA commanders had "been removed from the battlefield."

Video Transcript
Hi, I'm Helen from eSpares.
The most common thing to go wrong on a Flymo electric lawnmower is in the switch box area, either the levers or the switch itself, because they're constantly getting pressed and yanked.
Now depending on your model, you can replace the levers or the switch separately, but some models you have to replace them as an entire unit, and in this video I'm going to show you how to replace the whole switch box assembly as a unit.
Now safety first, always make sure you disconnect from the mains before you start any work.
Now to remove the switch box from the handle, I need to remove these two screws, and for this I need a Torx key, and you can get a set on the eSpares website. With the screws removed I can now remove the switch box from where it sits on the handle.
Now, as the new switch box comes with all the wiring, I need to remove the wire all the way up to the motor. So to get to that, I need to remove the lid and the grass box and work the wire out to the motor cover. Now to remove the motor cover, I need to undo these two screws.
So when I remove the motor cover, you can see that the cable's attached to the motor by these two wires and stay clips, so I just need to pull them off and then reattach the new ones in the same way and then I need to feed the cable back in, and then back into the cable clips. Then I need to put the motor cover back on, the grass box and lid and then reattach the new switch box to the handle.
There we go, a new switch box and levers, and I'm sure you'll agree, it's a really easy fix-it to do. Switch boxes, levers and switches for all models of Flymo are available on the eSpares website.
Thanks for watching.

Geographic areas served: Western Addition/Hayes Valley San Francisco
Programs: Koshland Park Community Learning Garden This garden is located in the lower part of Koshland Park, on the corner of Page and Buchanan Streets in San Francisco, CA. The garden is ground zero for most of our programs and serves hundreds of youth and neighbor each year. It is a 54- plot garden shared by the students of John Muir Elementary School and community gardeners. The primary goals of the Community Learning Garden are to help at-risk youth in the community to develop an understanding and passion for nature, to build core academic and interpersonal skills, and to create a sense of community and caring between neighborhood youth and adults. Environmental Education Classes • John Muir Elementary School-Western Addition Beacon Center and Hayes Valley Youth Center Our environmental education classes with John Muir Elementary School offer the Science Content Standards to all students. These classes help students improve their learning through hands-on experience and activities in the outdoor classroom at the Koshland Park Garden. Students also have an opportunity to continue their learning in our afterschool and summer programs. • Garden Workdays with groups, high schools and youth organizations Numerous groups, high schools and youth organizations work with CommunityGrows on a regular basis, bringing their youth to the Koshland Park garden for classes in gardening, composting and park maintenance. BEETS-Band of Environmentally Educated and Employable Teens We are also hoping to continue our successful BEETS Program (Band of Environmentally Educated and Employed Teens), a green jobs training program for low-income, underserved teens in the Western Addition. This is a six-month stipend program that meets every other Saturday for six hours and every Wednesday after school (for 1.5 hours). Some of the activities include workshops on recycling (Norcal Transfer); nutrition (Next Course): composting (Garden for the Environment); bike maintenance (SF Bike Kitchen). There is also organic gardening, harvesting and cooking nutritional foods. There are field trips to Marin Headlands, Crissy Field, Alemany and Green Gulch Farms. SF Recreation and Park Department teaches participants how to use tools and assists them in maintain five local parks. LetUsGrow Summer Camp Begun in 2005, our environmental summer camp, LetUsGrow, offers youth and teen counselors, three weeks of garden fun. Camp started each day with breakfast donated by Kate's Kitchen, which was followed by fieldtrips, gardening and arts activities and ending with a healthy lunch. Some of our adventures are trips to Green Gulch Farm in Marin County, Alemany Farm in San Francisco, the Arboretum, the Civic Center Farmers Market, painting watercolors of our garden, gardening, composting, and a graduation with our parents. Seed-to-Mouth Cooking Classes Begun in 2005 with weekly classes at Modern Tea Restaurant in Hayes Valley and at the Hayes Valley Housing Complex, CommunityGrows offers neighborhood youth and their families, opportunities to prepare delicious, healthy meals with produce harvested from the Koshland Park Garden. Western Addition Peace Wall at Koshland Park This project, started in 1998, brought together over 1,000 people, members of churches, schools, and community based organizations to learn a peace empowerment process that culminated in painting tiles of what peace means to each person. Through the integration of the visual arts, a curriculum and program was taught that focused on tolerance, understanding, and non-violence, and collectively learned ways to develop positive and proactive solutions to resolving conflicts and defusing anger. The project has been developed and implemented by residents for residents—a true community endeavor.

Neal Thompson was born (1965) and raised in New Jersey, outside New York City. After graduating from the University of Scranton, he began his award-winning journalism career as a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer. For the next 15 years, he worked at newspapers up and down the East Coast - specializing in profiles, narratives and investigations - at such papers as the Roanoke Times & World-News in southwest Virginia, the St. Petersburg Times, and the Bergen Record in northern New Jersey. That was followed by nearly five years at the Baltimore Sun, where he covered the military and began researching Light This Candle. As a freelance journalist, he has written for numerous national magazines, including Outside, Esquire, Men's Health, Backpacker and the Washington Post Magazine, and newspapers such as the Christian Science Monitor. Thompson teaches creative non-fiction at the University of North Carolina-Asheville's Great Smokies Writing Program. Thompson and his wife, Mary, were married in New York City in 1994 and have two sons, Sean and Leo. The family - along with dog, Frankly - now lives in the mountains outside Asheville, N.C., where Thompson is researching and writing his third book, the story of a high school football team in New Orleans.
Light this Candle: The Life & Times of Alan Shepard, America's First Spaceman (2004)
Driving with the Devil: Southern moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR (2006)
Hurricane Season: A Coach, His Team, and their Triumph in the Time of Katrina (2007)
The old man has seen a lot. Sometimes too much. Police in his rearview mirror. The inside of jail cells. Friends and family lowered into the ground. Race cars carving deadly paths into crowds. He's seen stacks of money, too-some coming, some going.
Those visions, those memories, all link into a story. The real story.
The old man sits behind his orderly desk sipping a Coke, almost as if he's waiting for someone to come through the door and ask, "Tell me what it was like." It is the start of the twenty-first century, but he is dressed in the style of an earlier era: white shirt and narrow black tie, a gray jacket and felt fedora on a nearby hook-the same uniform he's worn since FDR's first term, except for summers, when the fedora is swapped for a straw boater. Raymond Parks is a creature of habit. He doesn't need to be here each day. With moonshining profits earned as a teen, he bought liquor stores, then vending machines, which funded real estate deals and other sources of income (some legal, some not quite). Far from his squalid youth, Parks is worth plenty, more than he could have imagined. He's sold off most of his empire-the houses, the land, the nightclubs, the vending machines, and all of his liquor stores except one. Still, he arrives each morning to putter around the office, make phone calls, check his accounts.
Next door, customers trickle into the one package store Parks has kept, the one he's owned for two-thirds of a century. They buy flasks of Jack Daniels and fifths of Wild Turkey from a brother-in-law who has worked for Parks since World War II. Even now, it's an ironic business for a teetotaler who-as a so-called moonshine "baron" and "kingpin"-used to make, deliver, and profit nicely from illegal corn whiskey. Outside, crews of Georgia road workers jackhammer into his parking lot, part of a road-widening project that brings Atlanta's Northside Drive closer to the bespectacled old man's front door each day.
Parks is ninety-one, though he looks two decades younger. In his twilight years, this office has become a sanctuary and the place he goes to rummage through the past. The room contains the secrets of NASCAR's origins. On cluttered walls and shelves are the dinged-up and tarnished trophies and loving cups, the yellowed newspaper articles, the vivid black-and-white photographs of men and machines, of crowds and crack-ups, which tell part of the story of how NASCAR came to be.
