Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by cowboy_ron, Oct 2, 2012.
I disagree. Wins are wins. I don't give a damn how the come.
They are not beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh who had a week to prepare for them and coming off a loss in Oakland
Mr. Booker here with another prediction, the Eagles lose in Pittsburgh 34-17
Troy and Harrison are back
Those December wins were meaningless because the only reason they were even alive for a playoff spot was because the Cowboys and Giants collapsed
You have to be the dumbest Cowboys Fan on this board. So a team who wins by the skin of their teeth week after week is all of a sudden a threat because of their record? I know for a fact you was born in 1998
They are a soft and lucky 3-1. That just makes it all worse because Reids teams generally finish very strong and now they have a couple of wins that could've, shoud've been losses.
If they somehow beat the steelers in pittsburgh on sunday the eagles may win 12 games this season.
That would be a BIG confidence booster for philly and i do believe they could go on a tear if that happens.
My brother is a big steelers fan, he's going to that game. Im going to be a big steelers fan this week too
I know, there is no challenging matchup until after their bye against the Falcons. They will smoke the Lions at home.
They have looked dreadful at times but things keep falling into place for them.
Falling into place is right
1st win...because of a dropped INT in endzone
2nd win.....because of a bogus flag that erased a ravens TD
3rd win.....because of a missed fg
So can this team really walk around with their chest sticking out?
Yes, because they are dealing with the hardest part of their schedule right now and if they can maintain these next couple of weeks their schedule gets much "easier" and are in great shape to win the division if they can at least split all the division games.
Giants have a dreadful schedule and need to run the table.
I think someone can win big money betting on the Browns this week beating the Giants
I think the big question is will Vick survive the season without getting knocked out for a few games? That has been a track record with him since going to Philly and he's no spring chicken anymore.
it's amazing that so many people think what worked against one team will work against another. Stupid Keyshawn Johnson says tonight that the Eagles should use the same game plan they used against the Giants
What if Shady can't run? Then what? That game plan won't work every week
It's amazing how many stupid media people it is on ESPN
Fecals are now 3-2.
Hate the Steelers, but I'm very happy the Iggles lost.
And I;m happy they way they lost, a FG. A bullet they dodged last week.
a 3-2 team that can really be 2-3 today.
My thoughts exactly.
At least I won't have 2-3 people call off work tomorrow - which normally happens when the Steelers blow one on Sunday. I'm not joking.
That means they are frauds. You cannot do that

Managing menopause at homePerimenopause - self-care; Hormone replacement therapy - self-care; HRT- self-care
Menopause is most often a natural event that normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.
Menstrual periods will slowly stop over time. During this time, your periods may become either more closely or more widely spaced. This pattern may last for 1 - 3 years.
Your menstrual flow may come to a sudden halt after surgeries to remove your ovaries, chemotherapy, or certain hormone treatments for breast cancer.
Hot flashes and sweats are at their worst for the first 1 - 2 years after your last period. Menopause symptoms may last 5 or more years.
Taking Hormones
Your doctor may have prescribed hormone therapy to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, sleep problems, and vaginal symptoms.
Take these hormones the way your doctor prescribed them. Ask your doctor what you should do if you miss a dose.
When taking hormones:
- Follow up carefully with your doctor. Ask about when you need mammograms or a test to check your bones.
- Do not smoke. Smoking will increase the chance of blood clots in your legs or your lungs.
- Report any new vaginal bleeding right away, as well as menstrual bleeding that comes more often or is more severe.
Managing Hot Flashes
To help control hot flashes:
- Dress lightly and in layers. Try to keep your environment cool.
- Practice slow, deep breathing whenever a hot flash starts to come on (try taking six breaths per minute).
- Try relaxation techniques such as yoga, tai chi, or meditation.
Watching what you eat or drink can improve your symptoms and help you sleep:
- Eat at regular times each day. Eat a healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables and low in fat.
- Milk and other dairy products contain tryptophan, which may help induce sleep.
- Avoid coffee, colas with caffeine, and energy drinks completely, if you can. If not, try not to have any after the early part of the afternoon.
- Alcohol may make your symptoms worse and often leads to a more disrupted sleep.
Nicotine stimulates the body and will make it harder to fall asleep. This includes both cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.
See also: Smoking - tips on how to quit
Once you have not had a period for 1 year, you are no longer at risk of becoming pregnant. Before that, use birth control to prevent pregnancy.
Vaginal dryness may be relieved by using a water-soluble vaginal lubricant during intercourse. Do not use petroleum jelly. Avoid mineral oil, or other oils if you use condoms, as these may damage latex condoms or diaphragms. Over the counter vaginal moisturizers are also available and can help to improve vaginal dryness. Ask your doctor about estrogen creams for the vagina.
Kegel exercises can help with vaginal muscle tone and help you control urine leakage.
What Else
Reach out to other people. Find someone you trust (such as a friend, family member, neighbor, or clergy member) who will listen to you and offer support. Often, just talking to someone helps relieve some of the anxiety and stress of menopause.
Get plenty of exercise. It can help you feel healthier and will keep your bones strong.
You need enough calcium and vitamin D to prevent bone thinning (osteoporosis):
- You need about 1,200 mg of calcium per day from food sources or supplements. Eat high calcium foods, such as cheese, leafy green vegetables, low-fat milk and other dairy, salmon, sardines, and tofu, or take a calcium supplement. You can make a list of calcium contained in your food to find out how much calcium you usually get from your diet. If you fall below 1,200mg, add a supplement to make up the rest.
- You need 800 - 1,000 IU of vitamin D a day. Diet and sunlight provide some, but most menopausal women need to take vitamin D supplements.
- Calcium and vitamin D supplements can be taken as separate supplements or combined as one.
- If you have a history of kidney stones, talk with your health care provider first.
After menopause, a woman's risk for heart disease and stroke goes up. Ask your doctor about what you should do to control your blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors for heart disease.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if you find you are unable to manage your symptoms of menopause with home care only.
Also call your doctor if you have any unusual menstrual bleeding, or if you have any spotting or bleeding at all 1 year or more after your last period.

Ship Weight:0.20 Nalgene Everyday Tritan BPA Free Widemouth Water Bottle Grey - 16 oz. Nalgene Everyday Tritan BPA Free Narrowmouth is smaller version of our most popular bottle. The attached loop-top never gets lost and screws on and off easily. Printed graduations let you keep track of your hydration. Graduated to fourteen ounces but the brim capacity gets us over 16 ounces or 500 mL. The closure and bottle create a Leakproof system with no o-rings that can fall out. Bottle is dishwasher safe, just make sure the cap does not hit the heating element because if it does it will melt. All Everyday bottles are made with Eastman Tritan and are super durable and resistant to tastes and odors. Features: Our Everyday line is made of Eastman Tritan copolyester, and is BPA Free. Dishwasher safe (top rack only) Just make sure the cap does not touch the heating element. Everyday bottles have superior impact resistance and are suitable for both warm and cold beverages. Convenient loop-top design means you'll never lose the lid. Marked with milliliters and ounces for easy measurement. High impact resistance Resistant to staining Won't retain odors A & Q:Q: Do metal bottles contain BPA?A: Because aluminum is susceptible to corrosion, aluminum bottles utilize liners made with epoxy resins that may contain BPA. Nalgene does not sell aluminum bottles. In contrast, stainless steel bottles, including Nalgene Stainless Steel bottles, do not use liners of any kind and therefore do not contain BPA. Q: How do i tell if my metal bottle has an epoxy lining?A: It is nearly impossible to identify just by looking inside your bottle. Stainless steel bottles do not contain linings of any kind. Aluminum bottles however, do contain epoxy linings. If you have further questions about aluminum liners, please contact your bottle supplier for more information. Q: Are other Nalgene products manufactured with BPA?A: No. they manufacture consumer bottles and containers in HDPE, PP, LDPE, PET, and most recently, Eastman Tritan copolyester and Stainless Steel (by Guyot Design). Each of these materials is manufactured without BPA. For more information on each of these materials, they have created Nalgene Choice, an online information resource designed to provide consumers with accurate and detailed information about the features and benefits of Nalgene's full product line and materials. Q: Why does Nalgene use polycarbonate?A: Many consumers prefer polycarbonate because of its unmatched ability to offer extraordinary durability, glass like clarity and resistance to stains and odors. And polycarbonate has been widely used by many companies throughout the food and beverage industry, as well as other consumer products, for over forty-five years. About Nalgene:Back in 1949, a Rochester, New York chemist named Emanuel Goldberg developed the first plastic pipette holder. Along with three workers, he began the Nalge Company in a small building at 625 South Goodman Street. For years Goldberg and his growing team developed the Nalgene line of state-of-the-art polyethylene laboratory equipment: centrifuge bottles, filter units, storage tanks. Obviously, it wasn't the kind of stuff you toss into your backpack for a weekend in the woods. But there were rumors floating around … stories about scientists taking the smaller, more convenient bottles out of the lab and using them on hikes and excursions.By the 1970s this "unofficial" use for Nalgene bottles caught the eye of Marsh Hyman (President of the Nalge Company in Rochester, New York). At Nalgene, there all about helping people simplify their lives while respecting the environment. That's why they created reusable containers of all kinds, made from a wide range of materials to suit your personal preferences, needs and lifestyle. So whether you're looking for a virtually indestructible drinking bottle for a backcountry adventure, or you want a clean, green way of storing your dry pasta, you'll find a Nalgene product that gets the job done.

No. 20 Softball Resumes SEC Action at South Carolina
April 4, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - After a four-game non-conference stretch, the No. 20 University of Kentucky softball team will resume its 2013 Southeastern Conference schedule when it travels to face South Carolina for a three-game series at the Carolina Softball Stadium at Beckham Field this weekend in Columbia, S.C.
The series will get started Friday with a 7 p.m. ET first pitch, followed by a 4 p.m. ET first pitch on Saturday and 1 p.m. ET first pitch on Sunday. Live stats and live video from all three games will be available online through the links provided below. Fans can also get real-time updates on Twitter by following @UKSoftball.
After the series, UK will return to Lexington to face Marshall on Tuesday, April 9 at 5 p.m. ET in a rescheduled game from an earlier rainout before a doubleheader at Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday, April 10. UK has a big weekend planned on April 12-14 vs. Florida as it will officially open the newly constructed UK Softball Complex. The weekend will feature numerous promotions to introduce UK fans to the new facility, including a grand opening ceremony on Saturday. Stay tuned to UKathletics.com for more information on the weekend's events. Admission to all home games is free of charge.
The Wildcats enter the series ranked 20th in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and No. 21 in USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25. UK has been in the top 25 of both polls since entering the rankings on Feb. 12. Kentucky was receiving votes in both preseason polls. The Wildcats also sit 13th nationally in the NCAA RPI ranking.
This is the first SEC action for Kentucky since it swept Mississippi State, who was receiving votes in both polls at the time, two weekends ago in Lexington. The sweep gave Kentucky a winning record in SEC play, moving its conference record to 5-4. UK started SEC play by taking two of three games from Ole Miss before dropping all three games at highly ranked LSU the following weekend.
Kentucky is coming off a midweek loss on Wednesday night at in-state foe No. 11 Louisville. Junior infielder Krystal Smith had an RBI double in the game, driving in freshman outfielder Sylver Samuel, who reached on an infield single. Junior pitcher Lauren Cumbess received the loss in the game after throwing two innings and allowing three runs. Freshman pitcher Kelsey Nunley threw the final four innings in relief, allowing two runs on three hits.
Freshman infielder Nikki Sagermann leads Kentucky in hitting this season with a .355 (22-for-62) batting average, including a double, two home runs and 11 RBI. Cumbess is third on the team in hitting at .333 (35-for-105) with six doubles and four homers, while sophomore catcher Griffin Joiner is hitting .322 (29-for-90) with a team high in doubles with eight, home runs with eight and RBI with 28. Senior Alice O'Brien is third on the team with 21 RBI, while freshman Maisie Steed is second in home runs with six.
In the circle, Kentucky has been led by Nunley, who has a 15-4 record with a team-high 133.1 innings pitched and team-low 2.05 ERA. Nunley, who's 15 wins rank her tied for sixth on the UK single-season record list for wins, has 106 strikeouts this season while opponents are hitting .208 against her. In her 11 starts this season, Nunley is 7-4 with a 2.17 ERA, throwing 71 innings with 59 strikeouts, while in her 14 relief appearances, the rookie hurler is 8-0 with a 1.91 ERA, throwing 62.1 innings with 47 strikeouts.
Cumbess is second on the team in pitching with a 6-3 record and a 2.76 ERA. The native of Normal, Ill., has thrown 66 innings this season with 56 strikeouts. Junior Ellen Weaver is 1-2 this season with a 4.08 ERA in 24 innings pitched, while freshman Katie Henderson is 2-1 with a 1.00 ERA in 14 innings pitched.
The Gamecocks enter the weekend with a 19-14 record, including a 1-8 mark in conference play. USC is coming off a 5-0 midweek home win against Appalachian State after dropping all three games last weekend at highly ranked Missouri.
Senior utility player Samie Garcia leads the team with a .429 (48-for-112) batting average, including nine doubles, seven triples, one homer and 16 RBI. Junior infielder Dana Hathorn is second on the team with a .340 (34-for-100) batting average, adding three doubles, one home run and 19 RBI, while junior outfielder Chelsea Hawkins leads the team with six home runs. Freshman outfielder Alaynie Page paces the squad with 26 RBI.
Senior pitcher Audrey Broyles leads the team in wins in the circle with a 7-5 record and a 3.57 ERA in 68.2 innings, while freshman Katie Marks is 5-7 with a 4.15 ERA in 60.2 innings pitched. Sophomore Julie Sarratt is 3-2 this season with a 3.13 ERA in 38 innings pitched.
South Carolina leads the all-time series against Kentucky 35-18, including an 18-8 mark in games played in Columbia, S.C. The Wildcats are 9-6 against the Gamecocks under sixth-year head coach Rachel Lawson, including a 4-2 mark in Columbia. The Gamecocks lead the all-time series in games played in Lexington 10-15 and at neutral sites 2-0. UK has played 53 games against USC all-time, marking the second-longest series in program history. The longest series is 57 all-time games against Georgia.
Kentucky will play host to the SEC Tournament this season for the first time in school history. The event, which is considered one of the most prestigious softball tournaments in the nation, will be May 8-11 in Lexington. The championship game will be featured on ESPN2, while all other games will be shown on ESPNU. Ticket information is available at here.

Hi to all,
I am looking for a screen/desktop recorder for BackTrack 3 Live CD which would record everything and save the video. Can some one tell me which is the best (either free or paid) like Camtasia for Windows.
I've tryed Gtk recordmydesktop, Demo Recorder, Xvidcap and Istanbul. The first two are unrealiable, Xvidcap gives me errors while istalling and Istanbul requires additional stuff to be pre-installed.
Are there any other screen recorders which are good and reliable. someone let me know. I require it very much. I hope for a positive reply

Polycystic kidney diseaseCysts - kidneys; Kidney - polycystic; Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; ADPKD
Polycystic kidney disease is a kidney disorder passed down through families in which many cysts form in the kidneys, causing them to become enlarged.
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is passed down through families (inherited), usually as an autosomal dominant trait. If one parent carries the gene, the children have a 50% chance of developing the disorder.
Autosomal dominant PKD occurs in both children and adults, but it is much more common in adults. Symptoms often do not appear until middle age. It affects nearly 1 in 1,000 Americans. The actual number may be more, because some people do not have symptoms.
An autosomal recessive form of PKD also exists. It appears in infancy or childhood. This form is much less common than autosomal dominant PKS, but it tends to be very serious and gets worse quickly. It can cause serious lung and liver disease, end-stage kidney disease, and it usually causes death in infancy or childhood.
Persons with PKD have many clusters of cysts in the kidneys. What exactly triggers the cysts to form is unknown.
PKD is associated with the following conditions:
- Aortic aneurysms
- Brain aneurysms
- Cysts in the liver, pancreas, and testes
- Diverticula of the colon
As many as half of people with PKD have cysts on the liver. A family history of PKD increases your risk for the condition.
- Abdominal pain or tenderness
- Blood in the urine
- Excessive urination at night
- Flank pain on one or both sides
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease include:
Exams and Tests
An examination may show:
- Abdominal tenderness over the liver
- Enlarged liver
- Heart murmurs or other signs of aortic insufficiency or mitral insufficiency
- High blood pressure
- Growths in the kidneys or abdomen
Tests that may be done include:
People with a personal or family history of PKD should be tested to determine if cerebral aneurysms are causing headaches.
Polycystic kidney disease and cysts on the liver or other organs may be found with the following tests:
If several members of your family have PKD, genetic tests can be done to determine whether you carry the PKD gene.
The goal of treatment is to control symptoms and prevent complications. High blood pressure may be hard to control, but controlling it is the most important part of treatment.
Treatment may include:
- Blood pressure medicines
- Diuretics
- Low-salt diet
Any urinary tract infection should be treated quickly with antibiotics.
Cysts that are painful, infected, bleeding, or causing a blockage may need to be drained. There are usually too many cysts to make it practical to remove each cyst.
Surgery to remove one or both kidneys may be needed. Treatments for end-stage kidney disease may include dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Support Groups
You can often ease the stress of an illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.
See: Kidney disease - support group
Outlook (Prognosis)
The disease gets worse slowly. Eventually it leads to end-stage kidney failure. It is also associated with liver disease, including infection of liver cysts.
Medical treatment may relieve symptoms for many years.
People with PKD who don't have other diseases may be good candidates for a kidney transplant.
- Anemia
- Bleeding or rupture of cysts
- Chronic kidney disease
- End-stage kidney disease
- High blood pressure
- Infection of liver cysts
- Kidney stones
- Liver failure (mild to severe)
- Repeated urinary tract infections
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You have symptoms of PKD
- You have a family history of polycystic kidney disease or related disorders and you are planning to have children (you may want to have genetic counseling)
Currently, no treatment can prevent the cysts from forming or enlarging.

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Brevard College freshman Ryan McPhillips received All-SAC Honorable Mention at the forward position for his accolades during his freshman campaign with the Tornados, the conference office announced Wednesday morning.
The Glasgow, Scotland, native, paced the Tornado squad in goals (six), points (13), shots (26) and shots on goal (16) while starting all but one match. BC finished 5-11 overall (3-8 South Atlantic Conference) while falling just short of the postseason. McPhillips enjoyed a four-match stretch that he tallied at least one goal (Sept. 22-Oct. 9). He picked up an assist on the Tornados first goal of the season against Erskine that resulted in 2-1 double-overtime BC victory Sept. 7.
The freshman notched BC's lone goal in the following match at Belmont Abbey (Sept. 11) while scoring the Tornados first goal in a 2-1 conference victory against Tusculum (Oct. 9).
McPhillips also notched a goal in BC's season finale at Coker with a goal in the third minute. Carson Newman's Ross Frame was named South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year while Queens' Jonathan Onyeaka was tabbed Freshman of the Year and his coach, Oliver Carias, earned Coach of the Year recognition.

Thought the Stevenson & Docherty fights where great viewing. The Glabriath Vs McVittie fight brought the place alight, literally!!
The big screen was superb, so was the view from the terrace seating
My only negative, I couldn't understand what the MC was waffling on about, subtitles on the big screen next time please.

text: After divorcing her first husband because he was cheating on her, View co-host Sherri Shepherd said she had finally found the right guy when she married writer Lamar Sally. Less than three years later Sherri is filing for divorce. Well, actually according to The NY Post, Sherri is just separating from her husband, but lets face it, chances are good it will be a divorce. Sherri does not have good luck when it comes to love. She got divorced from her first husband in 2009 and then pretty much ended up with Lamar shortly after. Maybe it was a rebound thing. At what point does it not become a rebound? Is it a rebound if it is the first relationship after a split, no matter the time frame? If you are not with anyone for a year and then find someone, is that a rebound? I think a rebound should be anything within six months. After that, it is not a rebound. What about if you date someone right after a split but then stop dating that person. Is the next person a rebound if it comes within the six month window?

New Jobs Numbers: Economy Still Stuck in Low Gear
"Four Years After Recession Ended, Millions of Jobs Missing From U.S. Economy," Brady says
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Chairman of the congressional Joint Economic Committee, responded to today's announcement by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that the economy added 195,000 nonfarm payroll jobs during June and that the unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.6%.
"We are not seeing the 'summer swoon' that's the hallmark of this historically weak Obama recovery, but neither are we seeing the strong, sustained jobs numbers that signal a strong recovery," said Brady. "Here it is four years after the recession officially ended. The economy is still stuck in low gear and President Obama has failed to deliver on his promise to create the Main Street jobs that middle class America deserves."
Brady adds, "The statistics are undeniable. 2.2 million fewer people employed and 1.6 million fewer private sector jobs than when the recession began. A $1.2 trillion gap in real GDP compared to the average post-World War II recovery. Since the recession ended the percentage of adult Americans that are employed has actually declined. The decline in the unemployment rate is largely a mirage driven by people dropping out of the labor force, not because people have found jobs."
"These are not the signs of a healthy recovery."

Topic: GEMZAR Side Effects, fever???
My dad today had his new regimen of chemo using single agent Gemzar. Infusion through port-a-cathe for about an hour and then IV flush before / after for about one hour. After leaving hospital four hours later, experienced chills and then ran a fever of 39.1 degrees. I phone his oncologist and he says that it a side effect for some people. After taking some SCANOL, his fever reduced and today he is feeling a little fatigue, but seems to have returned to normal.
Anyone on GEMZAR experience fevers and is there anything that can be done to reduce this side effect?
Thanks to all for your advice.

Post subject: DEE RAWL's National Championship Mock
1a) Chance Warmack, OG, Bama
Warmack is one of few Elite players available in this class and it just so happens LG is a need. Most of you know about Warmack so I won't go into detail. This is a no brainer.
1b) Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
I am torn between Williams and Allen, but it is very likely Allen is gone before our first pick let alone the second pick. Those of you who don't know what Williams can offer, please look him up on youtube. He doesn't have the measureables that wow you at about 6'2" 200 lbs and will probably run a 4.44, he plays above it all on the field. Furthermore, he is by far the best blocking WR in the class.
2) David Amerson, CB/S, NC State
Getting a cover safety is potentially the number 1 priority going into the off season and if indeed Amerson coverts from corner to safety, he would be the best option. Great range and ball skills, doesn't mind making tackles either. He would make a huge difference.
3) EJ Manuel, QB, Florida St
This pick will scratch some heads I'm sure, but let me first start out by saying that this isn't Bradford's replacement. I have no doubt Bradford can be every bit of what he was supposed to be when he was drafted. However, Clemons cannot be anything more than that... Clemons... EJ Manuel has the potential to be a top notch starting NFL quarterback so just incase Bradford gets hurt or does not workout as planned, Steve McNair...err I mean... EJ Manuel can be the guy. Just as big as Sammy, but runs a 4.6 and a very good arm. The only question is consistency, but I believe if he is available at this spot then I wouldn't hesitate because this kid is special.
4) Jon Bostic, LB, Florida
Bostic is a beast, plain & simple. He can play any of the LB spots, but he is built for SLB or MLB. Plays with fire and attitude, has very good closing speed.
5) AJ Francis, DT, Maryland
Fracis is under the radar and isn't the most polished or talented, but where he lacks in talent he makes up for in hussle. He has a non stop motor and with the right coaching could be a contributor.
6) Michael Williams, TE, Bama
Williams is a great blocking TE and would be an upgrade to Mulligan, furthermore it would allow Kendricks to have more of a receiving Unit/H-back role.
7) Vaughn Telemaque, S, Miami
I think Telemaque could be another 7th round steal much like Richardson. Played a true FS role at the U and with him and Amerson in the backfield of the secondary, the defense could play more aggressive and immediately become a top 5 defense.
2017 Draft Priority for Pick 37
1. Corey Davis, WR, WMU
2. Forrest Lamp, G/C, WKU
3. Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss
4. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC

Voted for the Tide, and I would like if the draft played out this way. I really like Amerson.
Only thing I wouldn't do is take a QB in third, but understand the reasoning behind it.

I don't like your 3rd rd choice but the rest looks good.
The Rams had a great draft this past year and made up alot of ground. I don't think they should be gambling with any of their picks.

love the first 3 picks...wasn't a fan of using a 3rd on a QB.
Can't say I know enough about the rest of the guys to make an opinion about them but the first 2 rounds were GREAT

Who the heck voted for ND?? How dare you!
Haha but on a more serious note, I understand everybody's criticism but if in fact Manuel makes it to the third then he would present better value than any other prospect no matter what position that i forsee being available. I cant believe that people refer to Wilson, Nassib, Glennon as potential first round quarterbacks but Manuel as a 3rd. Manuel is an excellent insurance policy as oppose to possibly having to reach for a quarterback next year IF Bradford doesnt work out.

A quarterback in the 3rd round is a head scratcher, not sure why there's been mocks lately that have us going that route. I don't mind spending a late rounder on one or signing one as a UDFA, but 3rd round?
Just doesn't make sense to me.

That would be a dream first round scenario at this point. I think RT should be a priority over guard, but Chance is going to be a monster. Not an Amerson fan, and Manuel in the third, I think we have too many needs to take a back up qb so early. Unless you have us signing a RT, I don't see how we ignore the position through all 7 rounds.

RT isnt as bad as most thing but I dont see any RTs worth taking outside of a guy like Fisher in the 1st. Most likely addressed in FA with a guy like Loadholt or something.
Again with Manuel Im going for Value and an insurance policy which he provides a good amount of both. I looked at other projected 3rd round talent of all positions and none present more value to me than Manuel. If anything, this should push Bradford knowing he has a legitimate threat right behind him. I feel that that alone is worth a 3rd.

Ack, beat me to the top 3 picks, literally what I was going to do with my mock. Obviously, big fan of the first 3 picks.
I really don't have many complaints here. Manuel is fantastic value if he were there mid third, which I find highly unlikely, but would not be mad at the pick.

I actually really like the mock. No complaints. I'm assuming we signed a RT?
Only complaint is no HB...but can't fill every need.
My only sort of complaint is that I'm wishy washy on Amerson as a Safety. Not the best tackler or the most physical guy plus he is susceptible to play-fakes and double moves...that said, he also has amazing ball-skills, would have good range and could definitely play a deep safety role.
I'm mixed on the pick. Micah Hyde from Iowa might end up being better value in the same role(4thish round pick)...better tackler too...although ball-skills aren't as elite.

I feel the QB is a little early, but I like the reasoning. Also, if Sam isn't panning out Manuel might and we could swap their roles. I doubt this happens but it might. Or he becomes trade bait.

Listen to Real. Fun. Beach. Radio. on iHeartRadio
A team of scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution brought a specially equipped camera down Guadalupe Island in Mexico. They attached the camera to a high-tech underwater vehicle. They hoped to capture some footage of great white sharks in the wild. What they managed to capture was some amazing, and scary footage of the sharks in their natural habitat. You can find out more about the camera and underwater vehicle they used on WHOI's website.

About Your Room
Welcome Home!
If you would like more information about living on campus, read our FAQ section and explore the residence halls.
What's In Your Room?
You and your roommate(s) will each have a bed (which needs extra long twin bedding), dresser, desk, desk chair, wardrobe/closet, and internet port. College furniture can not be removed from your room unless you are de-tripled. When de-tripling, only the residence director can authorize the removal of furniture from your room.
Internet service and basic cable are included in your room and board. You may pay extra directly to our cable provider for enhanced channels (HBO, Showtime, etc). You will need to provide your own cable TV wires.
Leave your rolls of quarters at home! Free laundry facilities are located in every building.
Bunking/Lofting Beds
Bunk beds and lofts are available in most halls. Due to a limited supply, not everyone can have his or her bed lofted or bunked. Requests are taken through the Facilities Services online work order system for the first six weeks of classes only.
As a freshman, you will likely have two other roommates and be housed in a room that was built for three people. If you are assigned to a "rebate" triple room and have not been de-tripled by the sixth week of the semester, you will receive a rebate credited to your student account. However, if you are given the option to de-triple and you decline, you will forfeit the rebate.

Antigua's coastline is intricate, with bays and headlands fringed with reefs and shoals; several inlets, including Parham and English Harbour, afford anchorage for shipping, and St. John's has a deepwater harbour. The island has an area of 108 square miles (280 square km). It is mostly low and undulating, but in the west there are volcanic rocks that rise to 1,330 feet (405 metres) at Boggy Peak. An absence of mountains and forests distinguishes Antigua from the other Leeward Islands. Because there are no rivers and few springs, droughts occur despite a mean annual rainfall of some 40 inches (1,000 mm). The average January temperature is around 77 °F (25 °C); that of August, 82 °F (28 °C). Summer highs can reach 90 °F (32 °C).
Barbuda, formerly Dulcina, lies 25 miles (40 km) north of Antigua. A coral island, flat and well-wooded, with highlands rising to 143 feet (44 metres) at Mount Obama (formerly Lindsay Hill) in the northeast, it is 62 square miles (161 square km) in area. Barbuda is without streams or lakes and receives less rainfall than Antigua. Codrington, the only settlement, lies on a lagoon to the west. The climate is similar to that of Antigua.
Redonda, an uninhabited rock, lies 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Antigua. It rises sheer to a height of 1,000 feet (305 metres) and is 0.5 square mile (1.25 square km) in area. Phosphate deposits are located there.
The majority of the population is of African descent. Most of Antigua's inhabitants live in St. John's. The language is English, and nearly three-fourths of the people are Protestant, one-third of whom are Anglican. There are also a number of Moravians, Methodists, and Roman Catholics.
Agriculture, once the mainstay of the economy, has been largely supplanted by tourism. Sugar was long the dominant crop on Antigua, but its production is now insignificant. Barbuda was never involved in the sugar plantation system, its inhabitants always having been fishermen and subsistence farmers. Their traditional system of land tenure is threatened by tourism development. Fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, mangoes, and eggplants, are now cultivated on the islands. Manufacturing plays a small role in the economy; most activity involves processing agricultural products and making clothing and textiles and concrete blocks. An international airport is near St. John's.
Antigua and Barbuda is a constitutional monarchy. The British monarch is nominal head of state, represented by a governor-general. The constitution allows for a Senate and a House of Representatives. Executive power is vested in a Council of Ministers headed by the prime minister. Primary and postprimary education is compulsory.
Antigua was visited in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, who named it for the Church of Santa Maria de la Antigua in Sevilla (Seville), Spain. It was colonized by English settlers in 1632 and remained a British possession although it was raided by the French in 1666. The early colonizers were also attacked by Carib Indians, who were once one of the dominant peoples of the West Indies. At first tobacco was grown, but in the later 17th century sugar was found to be more profitable.
The nearby island of Barbuda was colonized in 1678. The crown granted the island to the Codrington family in 1685. It was planned as a slave-breeding colony but never became one; the slaves who were imported came to live self-reliantly in their own community.
The emancipation in 1834 of slaves, who had been employed on the profitable sugar estates, gave rise to difficulties in obtaining labour. An earthquake in 1843 and a hurricane in 1847 caused further economic problems. Barbuda reverted back to the crown in the late 19th century, and its administration came to be so closely related to that of Antigua that it eventually became a dependency of that island.
The Leeward Islands colony, of which the islands were a part, was defederated in 1956, and in 1958 Antigua joined the West Indies Federation. When the federation was dissolved in 1962, Antigua persevered with discussions of alternative forms of federation. Provision was made in the West Indies Act of 1967 for Antigua to assume a status of association with the United Kingdom on February 27, 1967. As an associated state, Antigua was fully self-governing in all internal affairs, while the United Kingdom retained responsibility for external affairs and defense.
By the 1970s Antigua had developed an independence movement, particularly under its prime minister George Walter, who wanted complete independence for the islands and opposed the British plan of independence within a federation of islands. Walter lost the 1976 elections to Vere Bird, who favoured regional integration. In 1978 Antigua reversed its position and announced it wanted independence. The autonomy talks were complicated by the fact that Barbuda, long a dependency of Antigua, felt that it had been economically stifled by the larger island and wanted to secede. Finally, on November 1, 1981, Antigua and Barbuda achieved independence, with Vere Bird as the first prime minister. The state obtained United Nations and Commonwealth membership and joined the Organization of East Caribbean States. Bird's party won again in 1984 and 1989 by overwhelming margins, giving the prime minister firm control of the islands' government.

code2flow is an experimental script which sweeps through your project source code, looking for function definitions, then does another sweep, looking for where those functions are called. It connects the dots and presents you with a flowchart estimating the functional structure of your program. It is especially useful for untangling spaghetti code and getting new developers up to speed. code2flow is experimental and meant to provide a rough overview of the structure of simple projects. Source code which is just a little esoteric will break this. Even with normal code, there are many known limitations and many outright bugs.

Thread: Breastmilk and Reducing Cancer
Hybrid View
20th January 2014 07:11 AM #1
Breastmilk and Reducing Cancer
Breastmilk is a phenomenal liquid - I think that this is something all parents-to-be should be made aware of. This is why the decision of how to feed one's baby should not be taken lightly. It is also why excellent breastfeeding support is essential for new mums. Not only does breastmilk have huge advantages for the baby at the time of breastfeeding (in terms of nutrient content, immunity properties and emotional and developmental advantages to name but a few); breastmilk also has cancer-reducing properties.
Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce a woman's chance of suffering from breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Current research indicates that the more months spent breastfeeding, the lower the risk of these types of cancer.
Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of childhood cancer in the feeding baby. This includes: lymphoblastic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and certain central nervous system cancers.
Current clinical trials are continuing to further the research which is showing that breastmilk can destroy cancer cells in cancer patients. It seems that there is a substance in breastmilk (known as 'HAMLET') which makes certain types of cancer cell die and exit the body.
So, breastmilk can protect both mum and baby from cancer and is being used in trials to treat many types of cancer in patients. Breastmilk really is incredible; there's nothing else like it.

First Person
Kid GlovesBy Michael McGrath
I lost my gloves at a crowded bar over the weekend. Frankly, I'm surprised my hat survived. I usually squash everything together in my jacket's shell pouch, a crumpled ball of wool, fleece and wax, sprinkled with loose tobacco. These were not particularly warm gloves, though they were usually better than nothing.
I've always wanted "kid gloves," even before I knew what they were. I must have seen an especially exquisite pair in some heavy catalogue. For whatever reason, they have always signified unimaginable luxury. I also spent a lot of energy coveting "driving slippers" and a "barn coat." This probably had something to do with a few different schools I attended that had large packs of equestrian-minded girls and other well-appointed types. Everyone had very expensive hobbies and clothes for every occasion.
In my writing workshops I noticed that our professors fell all over themselves if you wrote stories about blue-collar work. They loved obscure types of screws and knots. They loved tools. I'm sure they enjoyed the juxtaposition between the language and the noble drudgery it described, and they may have felt a certain kinship with other forgotten craftsmen, and many of them had risen to prominence during the golden age of Carver's hardscrabble realism, and I'm sure these stories were something of a relief from the more bellybutton-based submissions (epiphanies abroad, window-box-gardening failures, roadtrip-tested romances) received each week, but there was also a hint of that WASPy remove, the aggravating way rich people often find peace in the exclusionary pleasures of nautical terminology or expensive farming equipment.

"I always enjoyed acting," Amanda said, recalling how she would play out entire scenes in her head in the middle of Cuesta Park, while her mother and father looked on. According to her, they recognized their daughter's affinity for the art long before she could pronounce the word "thespian."
So, they signed their daughter up for classes with the Mountain View-based Peninsula Youth Theatre, which is currently celebrating its 20th season.
To mark two decades of performance, the Peninsula Youth Theatre has planned an "exciting mix of shows," which were picked to celebrate "where we've been and where we're going," according to Karen Simpson, PYT's executive director.
The company kicked off its 20th season on March 3, with Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical rendition of the classic fairy tale "Cinderella," which plays through this weekend. Next up is "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" followed by "A Year with Frog and Toad" and "Hairspray."
PYT was founded in 1992 by a group of parents who wanted to give their children — and others — an opportunity to perform on stage, no matter what their skill level. "We provide a safe environment for kids who want to try performing," Simpson said. "Every child that wants to perform has the opportunity has the opportunity to do that."
The company offers classes for children as young as 3 years old, and kids can begin acting in productions at age 8. PYT stages performances at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, where it is a home company, as well as at other venues throughout Mountain View and the greater Peninsula.
In addition, PYT's School Play in a Box — which sends acting instructors out to schools — has been integrated into Mountain View schools, as well as public and private schools in surrounding cities.
Last year, PYT reached more than 1,800 children and teens, Simpson said. More than 26,000 attended plays and other events to watch those children and teens perform, she said.
PYT has the potential to be an incredible force for good in a child's life, Simpson said, noting that theater is a great extracurricular alternative for kids who aren't interested in sports. Both performing and athletics "teach you how to work as a team," she said. "They teach you how to be responsible for what you need to do. You're part of something bigger than yourself."
In addition to learning teamwork, kids involved with the theater may also gain confidence. It certainly has helped Amanda feel more sure of herself. "It's easier to stand up in front of the class when you have that background," she said.
Perhaps most important, though, is the avenue PYT provides for children to express their creativity — which Simpson believes is the driving force behind the success of Silicon Valley.
"Every child needs an outlet for creativity," Simpson said. "They need an opportunity to thrive, and sometimes they just need an opportunity to be silly."

SAN BERNARDINO - The union representing most of the school district's non-teaching employees has stripped its top two officers of their titles, capping more than a year of efforts to weed out what some members called a corrupt administration.
A hearing by the California School Employee Association's judicial panel in San Jose - and an appeal to the state organization's board of directors - determined that President Ken Holt and 1st Vice President Steve Holt had used their offices "to the detriment of the association or its members' welfare."
That means both Holts, brothers who have led the San Bernardino City Unified chapter of CSEA for about six years, will remain members but are ineligible to hold office for two years.
Not that they want to, after what they say is a vendetta by a few members that illustrated how counterproductive the organization has become.
"Basically, they're just using it as a witch hunt to get me out of office," Steve said. "It's a dirty organization."
Elections will be held Wednesday, but in most cases officers are just moving up two ranks and running unopposed. Former 2nd Vice President Charles Arroyo, who has been serving as interim president and is the only candidate for that position now, declined to comment.
The charges that got the Holts booted from office stem from a power struggle between two branches of the CSEA: leaders elected by local members and representatives appointed top-down by the statewide union.
According to the version of events given by the Holts, and backed by some other members, appointed labor relations representative Charlie LaChance was attempting to take over some of the elected members' functions but was not doing her own duties.
That belief is reflected in the charges for which they were found guilty.
Steve was found to have barred LaChance from meetings with the union and the district, then "making misrepresentations" about that to members. Ken was held responsible for LaChance being pulled away from a union meeting by a district police officer and an email - which all agree was actually written by Steve - saying LaChance's "services are no longer needed."
LaChance was "irate and screaming" at that meeting, leading the officer to independently decide she needed to be removed, according to Ken and Carl Greenwood, who witnessed the incident. LaChance has not responded to calls because the stress of these events forced her to take leave time, according to Frank Polito, spokesman for the state CSEA, who said the hearing followed normal rules of evidence but its results were sealed.
Three members filed the charges, and member Esmerelda Negrete filed more than 20 others that were dismissed.
"I am completely satisfied with the outcome, and I am glad we're finally going to have leadership in there that will not be corrupt, and we will hopefully have leadership that will also be helpful to the membership," said Negrete, who blamed obstruction by the Holts and other officers for an inability to gather enough evidence to prove the other charges.
The Holts see the flurry of charges as a sign his opponents were looking for any possible way to oust them and say they're doubling down on what began earlier this year as a look at whether CSEA membership is worth it for the members.
"My passion was to help people out," said Ken Holt, a custodian who first joined the union in 1998. "But over the years I've seen some of the internal workings, and it truly is just a dirty system."
Members aren't getting representation or help with legal issues to match their contributions, he said, pointing to 200 forms to completely drop CSEA.
About 65percent of the district's 1,700 classified employees - custodians, office assistants, landscape workers - are members, a steep drop, he said.
The membership dropoff and what members call poor results - years of furloughs and no raises, as the district battles deep budget problems - are because of poor work by the Holts, said Cynthia Andrade, the local union's third vice president and another charging party.
"It's been going on for a while, and a few of us finally said we've had enough," Andrade said. "They're getting rid of a lot of things and away with a lot of things. I just didn't feel that was right."
Any move to leave CSEA would be complicated by the fact that it and most other unions that could represent those members are part of AFL-CIO, which prohibits "raiding" local unions that have left their parent.

text: ECCo hosted a roundtable of area university faculty and museum professionals to launch a collaboration to build a new collection of urban culture under the auspices of the Anthropology Department. The collection will focus on documenting and analyzing the ways in which urban residents interact with and shape their environment. An understanding of how urban cultural diversity shapes our relationship with the environment helps guide our efforts to create a more sustainable region. The Field Museum currently has few collections of contemporary urban life, creating a gap in knowledge necessary for future museum-based science and action efforts. Students and faculty from local universities and staff in partner museums (including members of the Chicago Cultural Alliance) will participate in building the urban collection, establishing a new model for museum collection work.

Antonine MMA have Ross Pearson and Eddie bravo coaching there. Give it a year and they will be the team to beat in scotland
Antonine MMA have Ross Pearson and Eddie bravo coaching there. Give it a year and they will be the team to beat in scotland
It'll take way, way more than a year for anyone to dethrone the DNFT as the team to beat in Scotland. However, nice to see another gym doing good things.
When you say Pearson and Bravo are coaching there, I assume you mean they have done or are doing seminars there?
Twitter @steflachMMA. Herald Sport www.heraldscotland.com/sport
Pearson did a seminar and theyve incorporated eddie bravos jiu jitsu system but neither are coaches there. Looks a decent set up but still behind other gyms and teams. Dont run before u can walk !!!!
Who are the coaches day to day though? I'm not saying they won't be the "team to beat" but if they are it will be through day to day grafting and coaching not because of those seminars. The effectiveness of the 10th planet system is still being debated. Hope the team does really well and they do become a force, can never gave too many quality camps in Scotland.
Fuck no-gi
Your high.
Your talking about a gym with no active fighters. Awesome facility's no doubt but history shows facilities mean very little in producing fighters, some of the best fighters in a variety of combat sport comes from shit hole gyms. Facilities don't produce fighters.
Very cool they are having seminars and the affiliation with 10th planet is clever marketing but again that alone is not going to produce fighters. It's the coaches in there on a daily basis that do the work.
I've got a lot of time for stephen Thomson and Robert carlin both used to train at the griphouse on a social/ recreational level at best, Stephen had 1 semi pro bout, don't know if Robert has competed in MMA so there competitive knowledge of MMA isn't great ( not that competition experience is a major factor in coaching ability but it can't hurt)
Creating a successful fight team isn't something that happens over night. There's a lot of trial and error.
That being said I hope they do start putting out fighters and having success it's good for the Scottish MMA scene as a whole.
Yeah, cmon guys, a team doesn't take over within a year.
Like James said they are a facility at the moment that has a good centre to train at.
Personally if I was them I would cater for the low end market and general keep fit person who wants a crossover in their training and have some diversity. Has anyone confirmed if they will be having a fight team?. Just because they offer what they do it doesn't mean they need to have a fight team
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!
Fight teams don't pay the bills. Fact
Thanks James ,and thanks for all your help and support over the years .Just to set the record straight though .I am teaching 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu only .I have not and never will try and teach or coach MMA ,I will be leaving that to the experts .Having trained with you for years I know what is required to produce MMA fighters ,I have seen first hand the fight training at the Grip and other clubs as well.There are many good MMA gyms and clubs out there .The only thing I will be doing is what I am good at and that is 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu.The facilities at the Antonine Sports Centre are great ,so are the people and I am happy to be running classes from there.Steven Thompson 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Glasgow.

Worship Internships
With a mission to Train Champions for Christ in all fields of study, Liberty University's Center for Music and Worship holds at its core the desire to train and equip worship leaders for the evangelical community. The Center for Music and Worship students are a part of a movement devoted to teaching God's people of the twenty-first century how to worship in spirit and truth. The need for students to acquire practical, hands-on experience is a natural extension of the worship degree. An internship is the summit of the student's preparation and is essential to their development in becoming a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Students have served in churches in more than twenty-five states as well as, Korea, Germany, Asia, Africa, and Canada. Our desire is to serve the Church, both locally and globally.
The internship is a win-win opportunity for students and local ministries. Our internships allow churches, ministers of music, pastors, and congregations to invest in the lives of some of the brightest and most gifted musicians. This internship also clearly benefits our students as it provides much needed opportunities for them to be mentored and trained by professionals in ministry. This ten-week mentoring experience is strategically designed for churches seeking to engage aspiring worship leaders in meaningful ministry opportunities.
More Information
"We believe God's calling on worship leaders includes responding to the demands of a broad, culturally diverse evangelical community. This calling is not based on stylistic musical preference. Rather, it is founded on this principle: When God calls a person to lead worship; He calls them to meet the worship needs of His people - young and old alike." – Dr. Vernon Whaley, Dean of the Liberty University School of Music

Selena Gomez Cuts Off Interview After Beiber Question [VIDEO]
The HOTTEST tumultuous young Hollywood couple, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, don't want to talk about their relationship!
One Chicago interviewer learned the HARD WAY when Selena Gomez cut an interview off abruptly after she was asked a question about the Biebs.
Host of Chicago's WGN-TV, Dean Richards, asked the star what she saw in Bieber and commented that he just "didn't get it".
Selena, who was on video chat, sat nervously in her seat, looked off camera at who we are guessing, was someone from her management and then the video chat was cut off.
Talk about uncomfortable for everyone involved!
