Most complete effort this year. Total domiination.
The Ravens dominated the Giants in a must win game for NY. They clearly had a much better gameplan and you could see the effect of the use of the filmroom. They targeted the Giants weaknesses thoughout the game and didnt stop to try make game balanced. You just need to be effective not balanced and do what works until it is stopped. Ravens offense created mismatches all over the feild, basically negated any Giant pass rush. On defense, they pressure Manning moreso than any game he has seen this year, got pressure with regular rush and blitz schemes. Kruger is really turning into a pocket crusher, maybe best Raven defender right now. Complete domination. Even with the officials lopsided officiating. That's what gameplanning and filmroom studying looks like. Also, they had no problems getting plays in on time with clock winding down, also nice to see for once. The tempo was good throughout the game. Only negative was Oher's mental mistakes...he will have a few everygame. The Giants where a desperate team needing a win don't overlook that, they needed more than the Ravens did. Very impressive. First time I've seen Joe "really'
look comfortable in a game not against teams like Oakland or Cleveland at home. Kudos to the coaching staff for this win.

Re: Most complete effort this year. Total domiination.
I thought the Cincinnati game was more of a "Total Domination"...However, you maybe right and I'd have a hard time arguing with you. Great win!!

Re: Most complete effort this year. Total domiination.
I think a second week of practice with Caldwell as the OC was explicitly on display in yesterday's game. Joe looked as comfortable as I have ever seen him look, and even the much-maligned offensive line stepped up. We did things I rarely saw with Cam. Torrey in the slot??? An option to Rice??? Working the middle of the field??? See what happens when we have a COMPLETE game plan? Everything comes together. I am VERY interested to see our first road game with this "tweaked" offense. I have a feeling we show up in a big way.

Re: Most complete effort this year. Total domiination.
I was at the opening day win against Cinci, and I thought our defense wasn't nearly as dominant in that game as it was today. I remember being uncomfortable with our big lead because Cinci could seemingly move the ball at will.
The Raiders game was another dominant performance... but it was against the Raiders. This week's win was our best all around, IMO.

Re: Most complete effort this year. Total domiination.
I think phacts nailed it. Recall that in the 3rd quarter of the Bengals game it was 17-13 and it wasn't until afterwards that we began to separate. The Bengals offense put up 322 yards while the Giants offense had 186 (!). We also had 100 yards more on offense (533 to 430). Special teams was also solid yesterday, keeping them locked down on coverage as Tucker hit 4 FGs. We also had those issues with the refs.
A really good time to have your best overall game.
Re: Most complete effort this year. Total domiination.
With the personnel we have on offense, with nobody who can dominate on their own like an Adrian Peterson or Calvin Johnson, relying on a balanced approach will almost always be effective. Even when exploiting the other teams weaknesses, you want to still constantly mix up your play to keep the other team off balance.
It was a combination of exploiting weaknesses while maintaining a balanced approach by mixing up our play enough that led to our most dominating (and much needed) victory this year.
(so far? )

Working through miscarriage emotions
Earlier this year I received a wonderful pregnancy announcement from a friend who had been trying to conceive for many years. Sadly, her excitement turned to sadness and grief when she miscarried early on in her pregnancy.
So I wrote to my mother-in-law to ask for suggestions on how I could support my friend. My mother-in-law works with post abortive women, and there are some similarities in the loss of a child through miscarriage and the loss through abortion. Both women experience the loss of a child which can have a great emotional impact on them.
I'd like to share with you some ways you can work through your own miscarriage or how you can support a friend.
Miscarriage can is very devastating to many mums and they do grieve, often for a year or so, and usually silently. Often times they have no support. If you know someone who has had a recent miscarriage, it's important to acknowledge the loss, and coming by her side in her grief is always supportive.
You can send a note or card and let her know you care and are praying for her. Encourage her to grieve by letting her know that there are books to read on miscarriage loss. "Tear Soup," and "I'll Hold You in Heaven" are two good ones.
You may also want to suggest that she might want to do a small memorial of some kind and name her baby. All of these can be helpful for her to do over a period of a few months. It is alway healthy to grieve our losses and can help with future conception attempts.
Sometimes women who miscarry have guilt and anger to work through before they can do the naming and letting go. Anger over the miscarriage and guilt that maybe they did something to cause it without knowing it. Confusion over not understanding why they lost the baby and there can even be anger toward God.
"Heaven is for Real" might be a good book to read also, probably a little down the road, after she has named her baby. You might also encourage her to write a journal of her thoughts and feelings. Just a few sentences each day for a while.
Have you had a miscarriage? How did you feel about it?

i have had 5 m/c between 8wks & 16wks. I am someone who "soldiers on", but each time I felt an incredible emptiness particularly after the ones where I had a currette. i was very frustrated as i already had perfectly healthy pregnancies & children & could'nt understand what had gone wrong.
The thing i did hate was when people told me that i'd "be alright because at least i already had children." How is that supposed to make me feel better...am i greedy to want more children?
I preferred to have my losses acknowledged with a "sorry" or a hug & let it go at that. Whether for better or worse life goes on & we must move with it. My lost angels will never be forgotten but I have living ones that need me more.

I have a friend who had 6 miscarriages, and she has 7 children here on earth. She used to picture her Grandmother, who's in heaven, holding her babies. It made her feel better.
She also had her 7th baby at the age of 44 after learning about Natural Progesterone Cream which she used throughout that pregnancy and only stopped at 37 weeks.

Thank you for this post Kate. I believe miscarriages should be talked about more as they are sadly very common but many women and their partners suffer through their grief in silence. This helpful article expresses my sentiments when it discusses coping with the loss after a miscarriage:
'It has been said that whilst the loss of an adult represents the loss of the past, the loss of a baby represents the loss of a future. It is not just memories that cause grief but lost hopes and dreams can also have a huge impact.'
I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy and it changed my dreams forever. I had always looked forward to: getting pregnant, announcing my pregnancy to friends and family, even the labour itself and of course getting to know my first child. I will never forget (nor do I want to) our first baby whom we never met.
Whilst the whole event was one of the most upsetting times of my life I was also surrounded my friends and family who I knew were there for me and praying for my family. We dedicated a plant to the baby we lost and this was important for me. My advice to anyone who has recently gone through a miscarriage is to keep talking through the grief and hurt and to let those who love and support you help whenever possible.

I agree with ljmarsden - Kate your post is wonderful. Gerri people do say the most inappropriate things. I think this stems from their own discomfort and perhaps not knowing what to say. Often they just don't think about what they are saying and how it may make you feel. I've recently read a book called The Sound of Silence Journeys Through Miscarriage and I wrote a book review.This book talks about what many women do not the experience of having a miscarriage both while it is occurring and afterwards.

The road to diabetes
In two separate studies from Salk labs, both published in Nature, new information about metabolic switches in fat and the liver suggest new avenues for treating diabetes.
A team led by Ronald M. Evans has discovered that a simple and long-ignored protein known as fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) may be the secret to surviving long bouts of famine. "Facts do not cease to be important just because they are ignored," Evans says. His team found that FGF1 activity is triggered when we eat sugar and fat, and it helps the body to save this energy for lean times. Mice lacking the protein cannot expand their fat and thus swiftly develop diabetes. Evans suggests that FGF1 is crucial for the ebb and flow of energy throughout our bodies and is needed to maintain normal levels of sugar in the blood.
"The discovery of FGF1 as a missing nutrient switch was unexpected—and intriguing—because it was believed to do nothing," says Jae Myoung Suh, a postdoctoral researcher in Evans's laboratory. "If you deplete FGF1 from the body, nothing happens, which is why it was considered uninteresting and ignored. Yet when given a high-fat, 'Western-style' diet, mice develop an uncontrollable form of diabetes and experience a systemwide breakdown of their metabolic health."
Michael Downes, a senior staff scientist working with Evans, says that "without FGF1 abdominal or stomach fat becomes inflamed— an important finding because inflamed visceral fat increases risk for diabetes and other obesity-related diseases, such as heart disease and stroke."
If FGF1 deficiency makes the metabolism worse, then perhaps increasing its levels could make things better. Evans and his colleagues next plan to explore whether FGF1 "therapy" might offer a new way to control diabetes that avoids the side effects of the drug Actos, which regulates FGF1, and thus provide an improved and safer means of increasing insulin sensitivity.
Researchers in Marc Montminy's lab have discovered a pair of molecules that regulate the liver's production of glucose. His team found that controlling the activity of these two molecules, which work together to allow more or less glucose production, could potentially offer a new way to lower blood sugar in type 2 diabetes.
During the day, humans burn glucose, derived from food. At night, when we sleep, we revert to stored fat as a source of very dependable but slowly released energy. But certain parts of the body, most notably the brain, require glucose as a source of energy, even when we fast.
Pancreatic islet cells control both sides of this energy equation, producing glucagon, a hormone released during fasting, to tell the liver to make glucose for the brain. This process is reversed when we eat, when the islets release insulin, which tells the liver to stop making glucose.
Earlier, Montminy found that glucagon turns on a genetic switch (CRTC2) that ramps up production of glucose in the blood. Conversely, when insulin is increased in the blood, activity of CRTC2 is inhibited, and the liver produces less glucose. The new findings identify a relay system that explains how glucagon activates the CRTC2 switch during fasting, and how that system is compromised during diabetes. The scientists say this relay system involves a molecular receptor that they call a "molecular spigot." Glucagon opens the spigot during fasting, allowing an increase in calcium, a common cellular signaling molecule. This stimulates a molecular gas pedal, of sorts, which revs up CRTC2, activating genes that allow the liver to drive the metabolic engine by producing more glucose.
The findings suggest that agents that can selectively damp down activity of the spigot and the accelerator might help to shut down the CRTC2 switch and lower blood sugar in type 2 diabetic patients.

Royals sign P Jonathan Broxton to one-year contract
KANSAS CITY, MO (November 29, 2011) – The Kansas City Royals announced today that the club has agreed to terms with right-handed relief pitcher Jonathan Broxton on a one-year Major League contract for the 2012 season, pending a physical exam. Consistent with club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"We are delighted to add someone as talented as Jonathan to our bullpen," Royals GM Dayton Moore said. "He will be used in a set up role to closer Joakim Soria and will help solidify what we feel is a young and talented bullpen."
The 27-year-old Broxton was a two-time National League All-Star (2009, 2010) while playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, including picking up the save for the National League in the 2010 Midsummer Classic in Anaheim. Since debuting in 2005 for the Dodgers, Broxton has compiled a 25-20 record with 84 saves and a 3.19 ERA in 386 appearances, all in relief. In 392.0 career innings, the 6-foot-4 right-hander has struck out 503, a ratio of 11.55 strikeouts per nine innings which is the third-highest in baseball since 2005 among pitchers with at least 350 innings. Broxton was 1-2 with seven saves and a 5.68 ERA in just 14 games for the Dodgers in 2011 before being placed on the Disabled List on May 6 with bone spurs in his right elbow that eventually required arthroscopic surgery on September 19.
Broxton and his wife, Elizabeth, have a son, Jonathan Brooks, and reside in Waynesboro, Ga.

<mm* Finn, Pemberton delinquent on fines By Gary Blair Sources at the federal clerk of court's office in St. Paul, MN say Harold R. "Skip" Finn and Alfred "Tig" Pemberton have not made their first required monthly restitution payments to the Leech Lake people. The two were convicted last spring and are now serving time at the federal prison camp at Duluth. They were to make the repayments as part of their sentence. Finn, a Leech Lake enrollee and former Minnesota State senator and reservation attorney, was sentenced to 57 months for a phony self-insurance scheme that bilked the LL band out of more than one million dollars. Pemberton, who served as the reservation's secretary treasurer when the crimes were committed, received a 33-month sentence. Finn was ordered to paid $400,000 in restitution and $25,000 in fines. Pemberton was ordered to pay $66,440.00 in restitution and fines. A third defendant sentenced in the same case, Daniel "Home-alone" Brown, has paid his fine of $7,500, but has made no restitution payments. Brown, Leech Lake tribal chairman during most of the period in which the fraudulent insurance company operated, received one year of electronically-monitored home confinement. Brown was ordered by the court to repay $ 1,300, along with a fine for his part in the scheme that garnered him $40,500. Pemberton, who was found guilty of receiving over $70,000 in the theft, started his sentence Oct. 3rd. Finn, who prosecutors said masterminded the scheme with the assistance of Pemberton and Brown, received the lion's share of the more than one million dollar theft. Finn also began his sentence on Oct. 3. Prosecutors produced documents and called witnesses during the nearly six-week trial that showed Finn had purchased numerous vehicles, boats, property and other luxury items at a time when the reservation was nearly insolvent.

Judge R.A. (Jim) Randall of the state court of appeals testified in federal Judge Michael Davis' courtroom as a character witness for Steven Humphrey, an Indian man from Cass Lake whom Judge Randall had befriended while the man was in prison. Judge Davis had presided at the trials of former State Senator Skip Finn and Former White Earth Chief Executive Chip Wadena, and their respective partners in crime. Davis recently sentenced Finn to'57 months Six minority cadets terminated despite poor representation in fire department By Gary Blair Seven Minneapolis Fire DT3.rt.;nent cadets were dismissed this week, confirming more than two weeks of rumors among regular firefighters that the terminations were imminent. The dismissals come at a time when the City's fire department has been under fire for non-compliance with a federal court order calling for the recruitment of more female and minority firefighters. The firefighter cadets were let go six weeks into their 17-week training program. The reason given for their termination was they did not meet the Cadets cont'd on 3 in prison with $425,000 in restitution and fines, and Wadena to 51 months with $635,000 in restitution and fines. Judge Davis is also presiding in phase II of the Mille Lacs treaty lawsuit. Judge Randall has become well- known in Minnesota and nationally for his dissenting opinion on the case of Cohen v. Little Six. Inc.. in which he exposes the "myth of tribal sovereignty," calling it "Red apartheid." His dissent was published in the March 1, 1996 issue of the Native American Press. Judge Randall's biography, highlighting his 40 year involvement with Indian communities, was also published in the August 9, 1996 issue of the Press. Judge Randall is the only Judge in Minnesota who is authorized to enter prisons as a participant in Indian ceremonies. Steven Humphrey had been a leader of the Indian culture group at the prison in Lino Lakes where Judge Randall frequently participates in sweat ceremonies and the annual spring feast. The November 11 hearing was in regard to a probation violation by Steven Humphrey. He is a convicted felon, and it was discovered through pawn shop receipts that he had, pawned a hunting rifle (a Browning 308), and therefore must have been in possession of the gun in violation of the terms of his probation.

My early years as a boy and a young man were almost like a circle I was bom 43 years ago to Ella Mae Fairbanks, the daughter of George and Josephine Fairbanks. The first 6 years of my life I lived in my grandfather's cabin which was in the Squaw Point Indian Village, now called Oak Point. We had an outdoor pump. No electricity. I recall wandering all through the village from house to house with not a care in the world. It was a wonderful place to grow up and in all my later years I would always try to recapture the sense of oneness and belonging that was first instilled in me during this period of my life. I was named Ou-gitch-i-daa. During the next six years, I was a ward of the state. I came to learn firsthand what it was like to be alone, without my family surrounding me. I lived in a series of foster homes and began to develop at a young age the mental toughness which is inherent in all of the Indian children who are forced to pass through the state's welfare system. I was lucky. At the age of twelve, I was adopted into a caring family. Ira and Mirel Schulman, my adoptive parents, were new to the United States, having immigrated here after WWII. For the next six years, they taught me the values of hard work, education, honesty and integrity. More importantly, even after living through and witnessing the Schulman cont'd on 8 State moves for quick appeal in sovereignty ruling Alaska will take its case to the U.S. Supreme Court ANCHORAGE (AP) _ The state wants a federal appeals court to reconsider a ruling that might give tribal councils around Alaska more tax and police powers and the authority to regulate hunting and fishing. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded Wednesday that the Interior villages of Venetie and Arctic Village and the 1.8 million acres of land they control arc "Indian country." That is a legal standing that applies to reservation land in the Lower 48. But lawyers aren't sure how far that ruling opens the door to wider tribal powers. Attorney General Bruce Botelho said the state will file a motion for a rehearing by the appeals court within the next couple of weeks. The state will take its case to the U.S. Supreme Court if that appeal fails, Botelho said. The state contends that the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act did away with the rights of Alaska Natives to the sort of broad self- government authority granted to Indians on reservations in the Lower 48. The appeals court disagrees. In a 20-page opinion written by Judge Dorothy Wright Nelson of California, the judges said Congress and the courts traditionally have held that statutes affecting Indian rights "are to be liberally construed," with "doubtful expressions being resolved in favor of the Indians." To qualify as Indian country, federal land must have been set aside for Indians and the government must maintain a "superintendence" relationship with Natives, the ruling said. Those requirements "are to be broadly construed," and resolved by a consideration of six factors that include the nature of the area, the people who live there and their relationship to Indian tribes and the federal government, and the extent to which the area was set aside for Indian people, the opinion said. Venetie and Arctic Village clearly qualify, the judges said in language suggesting that the ruling may extend to other villages. In a reluctant concurring opinion, Judge Ferdinand Fernandez warned that the decision contains the promise of years of additional lawsuits. "There are hundreds of tribes, and the litigation permutations are as vast Appeal cont'd on 8 Staff photo MCT members discuss constitutional reform issues aWhe W.E.'s Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen. Constitutional committee to examine alternatives to MCT's IRA structure By Jeff Armstrong Nearly a decade after the Minnesota Chippewa Tribal Executive Committee passed a resolution for a constitutional convention, tribal members took a historic first step toward developing a governing document truly representative of the Anishinabe people. Both traditional chiefs and White Earth Reservation Business Committee members joined about 50 mostly White Earth members at the Shooting'Star Casino Nov. 25 to begin what is expected to be a lengthy process of constitutional change. Hereditary chief George Earth said the current tribal governing structure was forced upon the Anishinabe nation by the U.S. government. "That's why we have a failure. We let people dictate to us. We've been dictated to enough," said Earth. He said participation from elders and youth would be critical to the creation of a people's constitution. Inviting all tribal members to join the constitutional committee she is forming, organizer Leah Carpenter made assurances that the new MCT constitution would not be drafted by any one individual or governing entity. "I am not going to write the constitution by myself in a dark corner. That's up to the people," Carpenter said. "People have been suspicious of the process; they have good reason to be suspicious. But we're working to change that." Carpenter briefly outlined the history of the "Minnesota Chippewa" since the General Council was formed in 1913. The council was made up of elected delegates from local councils on the seven reservations (Red Lake withdrew in 1918). Chiefs had honorary seats on the executive committee, but no vote. Dale Hanks said the committee should be looking back further still, to Anishinabe tradition. "There was a structure there before the blood quantum, before the one-man, one- vote system," said Hanks. "The clans were the governing bodies." Many others expressed a similar desire to return to traditional values. "This constitution takes us away from the land," said Leonard Butcher. "We've got to get back to who we are; that's our connection to the land." Lummy Van Wert said the Indian Reorganization Act was one of the devices used to break down Native resistance to land and timber theft. "They got rid of our chiefs. They did that through the Dawes Act, the Nelson Act, down through the IRA, because they would not sell the land. Without our land, we are no longer a nation," Van Wert said. Marvin Manypenny argued that while tribal members work to create a new constitution—a process RBC member John Buckanaga said would take 10 months to a year-steps must be taken to enforce the existing one. "As an interim measure, I think it's incumbent on us as a people to force these governing bodies to strictly adhere to that constitution," Manypenny said. "Until we delegate these authorities, the TEC and RBCs do not have the powers they have been exercising," which he said has created a "constitutional crisis." Canadian probe uncovers long-term abuse at Indian boarding schools By David Crary VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) _ Canadian investigators arc amassing evidence of widespread physical and sexual abuse inflicted on Indian children decades ago at government-funded, church-run boarding schools. Victims across Canada, coaxed into confronting their nightmares, have told police of rapes, beatings, suicides, suspicious deaths, humiliating punishments, even the use of a homemade, low-voltage electric chair. Two major investigations are in progress, and dozens of former boarding school staff members are likely to be charged. One Catholic bishop already has been convicted of sexual assault. Nearly 80 of the so-called residential schools existed nationwide, starting in the 1880s and continuing into the 1970s, before pressure from Indian leaders forced them to close. In many cases, children were forced to attend, separated from their families 10 months of the year while Catholic and Protestant instructors tried to steer them away from their native spiritual beliefs. Students were punished for speaking theirnative languages, force-fed white culture. In British Columbia, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police task force, assisted by Indian groups, is seeking testimony from former students at all 14 of the province's defunct residential schools. "We're talking about thousands of people who attended these schools, and hundreds, perhaps thousands, who were abused," says Constable Jerry Peters, who oversees the year-old task force from a Vancouver police headquarters. The probe covers 10 schools that were mn by the Catholic Church, two by the Anglican Church and two by the United Church. There had been some prosecutions for abuse at residential schools in previous years, but Peters says the complainants were usually told, "It happened 20 years ago. We can't do Abuse cont'd on 8

"Disposable" Wipes Causing Nightmare for San Antonio Sewers
Those moist 'flushable wipes' being heavily marketed as the 21st Century version of toilet paper are making life miserable for the San Antonio sewer system, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Anne Hayden of the San Antonio Water System says the wipes are clogging up the sewers like nothing sewer workers have seen before, leading to dozens of clogs, and forcing sewer workers to climb down into the muck to fish what she described as a 'rope like mass' out of the pipes.
"These wipes don't break down the way toilet paper does," she says. "They can either catch on the inside of pipes or combine with other wipes or even with grease."
Technically, the wipes fail to disintegrate in the sewer system because they are covered with moist lotion. That makes them travel faster through the city's sewer pipes so they don't have enough time to break down like slower moving dry toilet paper.
"It really causes a problem in our pumps where we have lift stations which lift sewage up to different levels, as well as in filters," Hayden says.
She says the wipes, which maker Kimberly-Clark is selling on ubiquitous ads, are similar to the wipes which have been available for decades to clean up diaper wearing babies. But these wipes are marketed for use by adults instead of what the maker dismissively calls 'old fashioned, dry' toilet paper, and they are said to be the hygienic bathroom advance for the new century.
"Sewage never stops flowing," Hayden said. "Unfortunately, when sewage stops flowing, you can't turn it off."
The SAWS sewer system is troubled as it is, and is under a consent decree from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to make upgrades which have led to an increasing number of sewer spills in recent years. Sewer repairs are at the heart of the rate increase SAWS is requesting from City Council for 2014.

5 Dividend Stocks Ready to Pay You More - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- It's earnings season -- and that means that investors are in store for some big dividend hikes this summer.
>>5 Must-See Charts to Buy in July
Dividends have kept climbing higher in 2013. In the last year, S&P 500 companies have hiked their dividend payouts by more than 14%, ratcheting out their shareholder profit sharing to a new record high this quarter. And as earnings climb in kind, investors should expect more upside potential in the cash their portfolios generate.
So far, 77 S&P 500 constituents have reported their numbers to Wall Street this quarter, and on average, they've beaten estimates by 5%. That means that year-over-year, earnings are up a full 14% at this stage of the game. To be clear: That's breakneck fundamental growth for a broad market index.
>>Beat the S&P With 5 Stocks Wall Street Hates
With companies sitting on record corporate cash and profits right now, it's easier than it sounds to pick out names getting ready to hike their dividend payouts. In large part, it's because they have little choice. With lots of dry powder on corporate balance sheets and few options to generate meaningful internal returns, management teams who want to stay employed are returning cash to shareholders in record numbers. In recent months, we've had some stellar success in finding future dividend increases just by zeroing in on a few key factors.
Now we'll look at our crystal ball and try to do it again.
For our purposes, that "crystal ball" is composed of a few factors: namely a solid balance sheet, a low payout ratio, and a history of dividend hikes. While those items don't guarantee dividend announcements in the next month or three, they do dramatically increase the odds that management will hike their cash payouts, especially as investors start to get antsy about whether or not 2013's rally will be able to hang on.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Without further ado, here's a look at five stocks that could be about to increase their dividend payments in the next quarter.
Cisco Systems
First up is Cisco Systems (CSCO), the $139 billion IT networking giant. Cisco is having a good year in 2013; shares of the firm have rallied more than 32% since the first trading session of the year. And while that's overshadowed Cisco's 2.62% dividend payout, investors shouldn't ignore the income right now -- they could be due for a raise.
>>4 Big Tech Stocks on Traders' Radars
Cisco Systems is the 800-pound gorilla in the IT infrastructure business; the firm is the world's biggest supplier of routers, switches and software used to network devices. With Internet traffic still growing at a breakneck pace, demand for Cisco's mission-critical tools remains strong sellers for enterprise customers. Size matters for Cisco. Because Cisco's gear is designed to plug-and-play with other Cisco components, IT departments that buy Cisco products can often see much lower integration and ongoing technical support costs.
All of that translates into a fortress balance sheet. Currently, Cisco sports more than $33 billion in net cash, a balance that accounts for almost a quarter of the firm's total market capitalization. That gives Cisco plenty of wherewithal to hike its dividend payout to counter the increased share price in 2013 and keep its yield stable.
If Cisco is having a stellar year in 2013, heavy vehicle maker Paccar (PCAR) isn't that far behind. Year-to-date, shares of the truck builder have rallied more than 27%. Paccar manufactures light to heavy-duty trucks under the well-known Peterbilt, Kenworth, and DAF names.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
As consumption continues to grow green sprouts in the economy, Paccar is benefitting. An aging global fleet of trucks is providing sales opportunities at PCAR, particularly given the gradual upward growth of oil prices over the last several years. Because Paccar's new generation of trucks are more fuel-efficient than previous generations, customers that upgrade their fleets are able to capture considerable cost savings. That, in turn, closes the gap between PCAR's truck transportation offerings and rail, which typically wins out among shippers when oil prices rise.
Paccar boasts a well-capitalized balance sheet, with around $2.5 billion in cash that helps to offset a $7.8 billion debt load. Truck building is capital intense, but PCAR has ample liquidity right now. Consistent profit margins and a relatively low payout ratio leave room for PCAR to hike its 1.39% dividend yield. Right now, the firm pays a 20-cent quarterly dividend. That could change when the firm announces numbers on July 24. Stay tuned.
Republic Services Group
Republic Services Group (RSG) is a garbage stock. The $13 billion firm ranks as the No. 2 trash collection company in the country, with 334 individual subsidiaries, close to 200 active landfills and a trash-to-energy business. Historically, trash collection and dividends go hand in hand thanks to recession resistant income, but 2013's rally has taken some of the punch out of RSG's 23.5-cent quarterly dividend. Currently, the firm pays out a 2.7% yield.
>>3 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)
Republic has room to hike its payout in the next quarter. For starters, the firm is benefiting from the increased economic activity that's been warming up for the past few years. As trash volumes increase, so too do Republic's profits. And because the firm is one of two major national garbage collection companies, it's able to grab big national contracts that smaller, more localized rivals can't.
While a history of acquisitions has left Republic with around $7 billion in long-term debt, the firm has enough cash generation to afford a modest hike in the near-term. Republic announces its second-quarter numbers on July 25. That's as good a time as any to announce a dividend raise for investors.
Best Buy
The last few years have been a challenging year for Best Buy (BBY), never mind the stock's explosion in share price this year. BBY is undergoing a transformation -- and it's about time. After all, as the country's biggest electronics retailer, Best Buy has a big target on its back. As the firm works to shake off the threats from online rivals, it's making big strides to fix itself.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
Until recently, Best Buy was little more than a physical showroom for online competitors. While the convenience benefits of its brick-and-mortar locations were hard to beat, its prices weren't -- especially on big-ticket items that historically offered the biggest margins. The "Renew Blue" turnaround plan aims to change that by boosting web sales, cutting costs at brick-and-mortar locations, and finding margin boosters like services to sell to customers.
Despite the huge benefits of online shopping, for many consumers there's still something to be said for talking to a salesperson and walking out with a product. That fact presents Best Buy's biggest opportunity to de-commoditize its sales experience right now. Margins should expand as BBY does away with earnings drags in its property portfolio. Along the way, investors should expect a boost to BBY's already solid balance sheet.
Currently, Best Buy pays out a 17-cent dividend that adds up to a 2.36% yield. As major concentrated shareholders look to get paid, that number looks likely to get boosted in the next quarter.
Wall Street just doesn't get Garmin (GRMN). In fact, they hate it -- Garmin has consistently sported a short interest ratio of 10.4 for the last year, a number that means it would take more than two weeks of nonstop buying just for short sellers to exit their bets against shares. And while Garmin can't directly control its share price, the company does have control over a different driver of returns: its dividend.
Currently, the GPS-maker pays out a 45-cent quarterly dividend that adds up t a 4.9% yield.
>>5 Tech Stocks to Buy This Summer
Garmin makes global positioning devices for cars, boats, planes and fitness enthusiasts. While the firm's detractors have pointed to the commoditization of the consumer GPS device as a potential business-killer for Garmin, that investment thesis just hasn't played out. In fact, that exposure to all corners of the GPS market means that Garmin is able to pour R&D into big-ticket electronics (such as the $50,000 G1000 avionics suite for small planes) and then transition the tech to the more margin-sensitive consumer market.
As Garmin continues to generate massive growth in niche devices for outdoor and fitness users, the firm should be able to keep its engines spinning -- all while subsidizing the biggest development costs in its bigger-ticket product lines. Meanwhile, a debt-free balance sheet with around $3 billion in cash and investments means that this bargain name effectively trades for a 41% discount right now. As management looks to put some of that cash to good use, a dividend hike makes all the sense in the world.

Susan Herron, IT Security and Policy Coordinator, is our local administrator of the University's Identification Verification process and the issuing of the required code to set up your Enhanced NetBadge.
What is Enhanced NetBadge?
A NetBadge is an electronic identification "badge" that is issued to your Web browser when you log into the NetBadge service. NetBadge verifies your identity as a valid user of the Web resource you are trying to access, using your University computing ID and password credentials.
"Enhanced" NetBadge is a higher-security edition of NetBadge that will look slightly different from the "original" NetBadge and increase protection of your sensitive personal data (i.e. no longer use SSN). To use "Enhanced" NetBadge requires verification of identity through a process known as Identity Verification.
Why you need an "Enhanced" NetBadge account
At UVa, there are 3 levels of identity assurance, depending upon the sensitivity of the data you are attempting to access. Systems which require "Enhanced" NetBadge now or in the near future include Oracle; the Integrated System; and UVa's Student Information System. Other systems which require NetBadge login include, but are not limited to: on-line training modules Security Awareness, Search Committee, Preventing Sexual Harassment, and Preventing Employment Discrimination.
Acceptable forms of Identification
University policy requires one of the following forms of identification for NetBadge
- US-issued drivers license
- US-issued military ID
- Passport (foreign or domestic)
- US-Department of Homeland Security Cards containing Photo and Date of Birth:
- Lawful Permanent Residence Card (formerly "Green Card")
- Employment Authorization Card (EAD)
Please Note: The UVa-Wise CAVS CARD (old or new) is not an acceptable form of identification.
How to complete Identity Verification
You must come in person to 281 IT Center with the following documentation required by the University to complete the process.
- A government issued ID card – see the Acceptable forms list
- A copy of the "Personal Information" page printed from your Integrated System UVa Employee Self-Service section
- A signed Electronic Access Agreement if you have not already provided one
For Questions contact Susan Herron at 376-4641 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Gerald Ford Recalls Assassination Attempt in Historic Video
The former president calmly and carefully recalled the attempted assassination in the videotaped testimony that would later be used in Fromme's trial. The roughly 20-minute interview taped in
In it, Ford gestures gently with his hands and sips water as he answers questions from a lawyer about what began as a routine morning in September 1975, before Fromme pushed through a crowd on the street, drew a semi-automatic pistol and pointed it at Ford.
The gun wasn't fired, and Ford wasn't hurt.
In the taped testimony posted online by The Sacramento Bee, Ford recalls seeing a "weathered" woman in a brightly colored dress as he walked toward the building, where he planned to meet with the governor.
She "appeared to want to either shake hands or speak, or at least wanted to get closer to me," Ford says. He then saw a large gun coming through the crowd of well-wishers. But when asked if he saw the face of who was holding it, he answered, "No, I did not."
The gun was about 2 feet away from him, Ford said.
"It was simply the hand with the weapon in it, at a height between my knee and my waist, approximately," Ford said. He then described a frantic moment when a security agent seized the suspect and Ford was rushed away.
Fromme was sentenced under a law covering assaults on
The tape, which represents a historical footnote in the widely publicized case, was released as a result of a motion filed by the Eastern District Historical Society, a nonprofit that seeks to preserve the history of the federal court based in
The case was the first in history featuring oral testimony from a sitting president in a criminal trial.
Fromme was a college student before joining Manson's "family," where she reportedly got her nickname because of her voice. She was never implicated in the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and eight others, for which Manson is serving a life term in

And you have heard Bodhidharma in the beginning saying, "Buddhas cannot worship buddhas." There is no need, and it is really humiliating. You have the same quality of consciousness within you, you just have not discovered it. Somebody else has discovered it, but as far as having it is concerned, you both have it in the same way.
Bodhidharma mentioned the name of Dipankara. He was an ancient buddha long before Gautam Buddha, and in Dipankara's time Gautam Buddha was an ordinary man. Just out of curiosity he had gone to see Dipankara. He was given the name Dipankara because his presence was so infectious that those who innocently came close to him immediately caught something invisible, as if a flame had jumped from Dipankara into their heart, which was utterly dark, and now there was light. Hence the name, Dipankara Buddha, was given to him - a man who lights the unlit lamps of others just by his presence.
Gautam Buddha was not enlightened at that time but he had gone just out of curiosity, like a small child, to see what was happening, why so many people were going there. His curiosity was innocent. He had not gone to attain knowledge or enlightenment, or anything. There was no greed in it, there was no ambition in it. It was simply the wonder. He had heard that people who went to Dipankara.just sitting silently with him something had transpired, and they returned home totally different people. Their actions changed, their lifestyles changed. They became more loving, more compassionate, greed disappeared, ambition disappeared, anger disappeared. They became individuals so beautiful and so fragrant that Buddha wanted to see this man.this man was a wonder. He did nothing, yet..
The master never does anything. His whole work is somehow to bring you close.as close as when you bring one candle which is burning with a flame close to another candle which is unlit. There is a certain point when the unlit candle will catch fire from the flame of the lit candle. The lit candle will not lose anything, but the unlit will gain a tremendous treasure. Unlit it was dead, and when the flame started, life came to it. Now it can also dispel darkness in the same way as the first flame was doing.
Dipankara was such a man; in fact every great master is such a man. Whatever happens around him is not done by him. Whatever is done is just to bring you close, to make himself available to you and a mystery to you, so that without your knowing you are pulled like a magnet pulls things.and at a certain distance, suddenly you become aflame. The old dies, and the new man is born.

Minneapolis • Welcome back, Flip.
The Minnesota Timberwolves hired Flip Saunders as the team's new president of basketball operations Friday, bringing him back eight years after he was fired as the head coach. Saunders replaces David Kahn, who was fired Thursday after four seasons on the job, and he will have a minority stake in the franchise.
Bringing Saunders back into the fold marks a return to the only real success the team has had since coming into the league in 1989. He coached the Wolves from 1995-2005, leading them to eight straight playoff appearances, including a run to the Western Conference finals in 2004.
Saunders was fired the next season, and the franchise has cratered since his departure. Kevin Garnett was traded, Kevin McHale was fired and the Wolves have not been back to the playoffs since Saunders was on the sideline. Even after a difficult exit, Saunders managed to maintain a close relationship with Wolves owner Glen Taylor. The two talked often as Saunders worked his way through coaching jobs in Detroit and Washington.
"We are thrilled to have Flip back with the Timberwolves organization," Taylor said. "Flip is one of the more experienced and creative minds in basketball. He knows what it takes to win in the NBA and we are confident that he will do what is necessary to lead us to a return to our best days as an organization."
The 58-year-old Saunders, who also starred at the University of Minnesota, kept his home in the state after he was fired, and showed up at a handful of Timberwolves games this season while serving as an analyst for ESPN.

To look at the relationship between coffee drinking and prostate cancer risk, researchers began collecting information in 1986 on coffee drinking habits and other health-related behaviors, such as physical activity and diet from 47,911 men. Information was collected every four years until 2006 and the instances of prostate cancer were tracked as well.
After accounting for other factors that may affect prostate cancer risk, researchers found that compared with men drinking no coffee, men who drank an average of 6 or more cups (not mugs) of coffee (regular or decaf) per day had:
It is important to note that this study design shows an association, it does not actually demonstrate cause and effect. So while coffee may be a reasonable part of a prostate cancer prevention program, it should not be relied upon as an only measure and overall risks and prevention steps should be discussed with a doctor.
For some people, 6 or more cups of coffee per day may influence health in ways that are less desirable, such as interfering with sleep or irritating stomach conditions, so consumption should be carefully measured against a person's overall health needs and goals. Use our tips to consider whether more coffee is a good idea for you, and what other steps you can take to reduce your prostate cancer risk.

Interior Design and Colour
Neutrals are classic, versatile, and easy.
White, taupe, warm whites, or dark charcoal. Using a neutral as your base colour on your walls or wood work allows you to switch up your accessories to express vibrant or subdued colour ways. Not only cost-effective, it allows for flexibility. Drapes, pillows, vases, throws or a chair can do the trick. Changing accessories is easy and can be done from season to season or any other time you feel like you need a new look for your space.
My favorite neutral? Try revere pewter (HC-172) by Benjamin Moore. It's soft and subtle warm with a touch of cool. It can work in any space or provide that touch of contrast you need from your beautiful white millwork or furniture.
White, and why you should love to use it.
Is white a colour? I believe it is – even if some claim it isn't!
White is one of my favorite colours to use in modern homes and houses with interesting architectural details. It highlights built-in features, sets a pristine stage for the furniture, art, windows, and whatever other beautiful details are happening in the space. It's also expansive, creating an airy feeling of freshness and openness. What's not to love about that?

The biggest, brightest Moon of the year is almost here. On 23 June 2013, a Supermoon will be occurring. What that means is that the Moon will be closer to the Earth than at any other time during the year - in fact, the upcoming Supermoon will be the closest encounter between the Earth and the Moon until August 2014.
The Moon will reach its closest distance to the Earth at exactly 7:32 am EDT (4:32 am PDT) on 23 June, but because it will be peaking in the early morning hours, both 22 June and 23 June will put on similar shows. So either day will be a good opportunity to see the larger-and-brighter-than-normal Supermoon.
This year the Supermoon will be up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical Full Moon is. This is a result of the Moon reaching its perigree - the closest that it gets to the Earth during the course of its orbit. During perigree on 23 June the Moon will be "only" about 221,824 miles away, as compared to the 252,581 miles away that it is at its furthest distance from the Earth (apogee). The Moon will actually be at apogee only two weeks after the Supermoon, on 7 July.
What is the definition of a Supermoon and why is it called that?
'Supermoon' is a situation when the moon is slightly closer to Earth in its orbit than on average, and this effect is most noticeable when it occurs at the same time as a full moon. So, the moon may seem bigger although the difference in its distance from Earth is only a few percent at such times.
It is called a Supermoon because this is a very noticeable alignment that at first glance would seem to have an effect. The 'super' in Supermoon is really just the appearance of being closer, but unless we were measuring the Earth-Moon distance by laser rangefinders (as we do to track the LRO [Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter] spacecraft in low lunar orbit and to watch the Earth-Moon distance over years), there is really no difference. The supermoon really attests to the wonderful new wealth of data NASA's LRO mission has returned for the Moon, making several key science questions about our nearest neighbor all the more important.
Are there any adverse effects on Earth because of the close proximity of the moon?
The effects on Earth from a supermoon are minor, and according to the most detailed studies by terrestrial seismologists and volcanologists, the combination of the moon being at its closest to Earth in its orbit, and being in its 'full moon' configuration (relative to the Earth and sun), should not affect the internal energy balance of the Earth since there are lunar tides every day. The Earth has stored a tremendous amount of internal energy within its thin outer shell or crust, and the small differences in the tidal forces exerted by the moon (and sun) are not enough to fundamentally overcome the much larger forces within the planet due to convection (and other aspects of the internal energy balance that drives plate tectonics). Nonetheless, these supermoon times remind us of the effect of our 'Africa-sized' nearest neighbor on our lives, affecting ocean tides and contributing to many cultural aspects of our lives (as a visible aspect of how our planet is part of the solar system and space).

Dream come true for Ben, well deserved!
Dream come true for Ben, well deserved!
Well done Ben
Never doubted you for a second.
Always good to see good guys do well in the big show
Outstanding work Ben.
Well done to Ben getting some recognition and a nice assignment.
On the flip side (and i'm not taking anything away from Ben here), he was just doing what he should be doing and his job effectively. Has judging got that bad that that we see good decisions now in the minority?.
Like I say, not taking anything away from Ben as he comes across as a knowledgeable and sound guy.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Agreed, close fight but Gomi edged it imho.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I didn't even think it was that close, thought Gomi more than edged it and was on a clear rout the win column!
Valley of Kings - Coming Soon
I wouldnt have called it a totally one sided beat down, thought both had moments, Gomi won it though.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
It depends how you look at it really. If you give points for striking, grappling and octagon control then Gomi was the clear winner.
However if you score it as two empty takedowns win the fight then Sanchez definitely deserved the W.
Maybe I need to watch it again, I thought Gomi controlled the fight and won it, but I dont think he dominated at the same time in the way say Yahya did in the first 2 rounds of his fight.
Anwyay, Gomi got robbed, Ben called it right, all is good in the world.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.

I think everyone knows smoking green isn't in any way a performance enhancer, and in reality it shouldn't be illegal or banned. That said it is and its a very small price to pay for a proffesional fighter to get paid doing what they love. I don't have a great deal of sympathy for Diaz or Silva and I don't think you can turn a bliond eye to it as it will open up a can of worms
I've sparred after a smoke in the past, and I got embarressed!

Dr. Dye has been a non-traditional student her whole life. Technically a drop out, she withdrew from high school early, attended college in Michigan for a year, then took some time away to work. At 20, she moved to Cincinnati to take a job, then eventually returned to college full-time, earning a Bachelor of Science in Design from U.C.'s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. After working in various corporate training and development positions, Kathy again returned to school. She enrolled in an executive program at Xavier University, and while working full-time, she earned a Master of Education in Human Resource Development. During her studies XU, Kathy got fired up about pursuing a doctorate, in part because it sounded like fun and in part because she wanted to "give back" to her profession by way of theoretical discourse and development. Again, while working full-time, she commuted to Indiana University in Bloomington where she majored in instructional systems technology (corporate training and development) and minored in business management. She earned her doctorate from IU in 2002. In addition to teaching full-time at TMC, Kathy runs a successful consulting practice and has worked with clients such as Delco/Delphi Electronics, Eli Lilly, Fidelity Investments, GE Aircraft, Great American Insurance, Merrill Lynch, and The Western Southern Enterprise. She is very active in the Cathedral Parish and the Diocese of Covington, she volunteers with several not-for-profit organizations, and she flirts with death by riding motorcycles and scuba diving.
B.S., University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH (1979)
M.Ed., Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH (1994)
Ph.D., Indiana University, Bloomington, IN (2002)
Kathy L. Dye first came to Thomas More College in 1997.

I simply confirmed what he said, if you wish to re-direct it to him that's cool.
Something to bear in mind.
There's a lot of talk about MMA and regulation going round at the moment. I've been fielding a few media phone calls over the last few days, talking about safety issues in the sport. Like it or not, there are people out there who would love to see MMA discredited, and they'll jump on any negative story they can find.
I think in the long run we have two choices. Sooner or later, something will happen that will make the current "free for all" situation unsustainable.
We can either regulate ourselves, or we can wait and have people outside the sport step in and force it on us. If that happens, who knows what form it'll take. Which would you prefer?
If you've got questions, or concerns, then get in touch and make your voice heard. Let's make this work.

Listening is cool and shit." BlackdogMMA
This is a great step forward for UK MMA.
Will it be perfect right from the get go? Probably not.
But trying to shoot it down before the official launch is stupid. With Marc and Rosi backing it up it has the credibility to really go places and the fact that CW, UCMMA and BAMMA have all got together speaks volumes.
I wish I was able to attend the launch but I am out the country with work and too far away.
Best of luck guys.

'Twas the night before Christmas and my grandmother's house was quiet.
I was tucked safely into the "little" bed I always slept on and my parents and grandparents had settled in for the evening. But I was wide-awake. After all, Santa was on his way.
I guess Santa must have used his magical powers to make me sleep, because I don't remember seeing him that night.
This time last year, I was freaking out. An aunt for the first time with very little experience with children, I was determined to make sure my niece, Taylor, would have a wonderful Christmas - but I had no idea what to get her.
After scouring store shelves and reading dozens of online reviews, I finally settled on a handmade Chenille robe, a Say Please tea set that was sold out nearly everywhere and a turtle nap mat with "Taylor" monogrammed at the top. But at 8 months old, she was too young to read or even open her presents.

Obamacare has proven to be a disaster for Kentucky. It has caused 280,000 residents to lose health insurance plans they already have. And Obamacare is taking away the ability for many to visit the doctors and hospitals they like. Now to that list of problems, add one more: Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. It very likely will cost the taxpayers of Kentucky dearly in the years to come and degrade access to care for many in the commonwealth.

Of all the gifts that Benjamin Franklin gave us, one of the most far-reaching has to be establishing the forerunner of our country's public libraries.
They have been a mainstay in Kentucky almost from the beginning, when the first opened in 1795 at what is now Transylvania University in Lexington. Some historians believe it was also the first outside the 13 original colonies.
On a frigid afternoon this past Tuesday, Dec. 10, some 65 people representing different expressions of faith gathered on the Boone Farm in Nelson County, affirming their belief that God is not pleased with what hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") is doing to his creation.
This particular emergency room is all too familiar to me. I know the room numbers and their location almost by memory now, having been called upon to pray here more times than I care to recall.
But every situation is a bit different; this one caught me by the throat.
I had known Colin since he was a pup, baptized him, watched him grow to young adulthood, and prayed over him when he left home on the way to fulfilling his dream of a military career.
For 17 Christmases now, I've been helping Santa Claus. It's been fun for me and my wife as we have searched for the presents our son has asked to have under the tree Christmas morning. But it hasn't always been easy.
This year's must-have item at our house has been the Sony Playstation 4. The new video game system has been next to impossible to find in stores, and our search has been going on since the system released in November.
Politics aren't for everyone, I know.
But politics impact all of us, and Taylor County residents have a chance to be the change they want to see in the local political scene.
Next May, Taylor Countians will go to the polls and select the candidates they want to face off in the November primary election.
Next year, we will select a mayor and judge/executive, our sheriff and jailer, magistrates and city council members, our district and circuit court judges and state representative and senator, among other officials.

Greetings and happy holidays from Frankfort. Although legislative committees and task forces continue to meet this month, the interim period between legislative sessions is beginning to wind down. Even while not in session, it's been a busy time hearing from many across the state about legislative issues as we approach the 2014 General Assembly.
It won't happen again until the year 79811. That's 77,798 years from now. So if you're Jewish, enjoy the moment.
I'm referring to the concurrence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. Some American Jews are calling it Thanksgivukkah.
Actually Hanukkah begins on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving, which this year falls on Nov. 28. It's a rare occasion for Jews to celebrate two holidays at once, one uniquely American - Thanksgiving - and the other singularly Jewish.
