Rep. James Clyburn is featured speaker April 9
U.S. Rep. James Clyburn will discuss the impact of healthcare reform on efforts to alleviate the country's health disparities April 9 at the University of South Carolina.
Clyburn, the House Majority Whip who has served South Carolina's Sixth District since 1993, was instrumental in getting the bill through the U.S. House of Representatives March 21.
James Clyburn
Clyburn will be the featured speaker at 9 a.m. April 9 in the Russell House ballroom on Greene Street at the third annual James E. Clyburn Health Disparities Lecture presented by the Arnold School of Public Health at USC.
The lecture series, a joint initiative between Claflin University and USC's Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities, brings together researchers and public-health professionals to discuss ways to eliminate the public-health disparities for diseases prevalent among South Carolinas minority residents, including cancer, stroke, obesity, HIV/AIDS and high blood pressure. Racial and ethnic minorities represent one-third of the country's population but make up more than 50 percent of the nation's uninsured, according to the Kaiser Foundation.
"I am honored to be delivering this lecture at an historic time in our nation with regards to healthcare," Clyburn said. "Health disparities are always in the forefront of my service in Washington, and I am pleased that as we celebrate Public Health Week, we have the opportunity to reflect on real positive changes for public health in America."
Clyburn, along with former U.S. Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, helped secure funding to establish the Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities in 2003. Located in the Arnold School of Public Health, the institute helps forge public and private partnerships to address chronic diseases.
The April 9 program is free and open to the public. A reception and scientific poster session featuring health disparities research at USC and Claflin University will follow. The lecture series takes place during the nation's observance of Public Health Week.
Clyburn, a Sumter native, was elected to Congress in 1992. In November 2006, he became the House Majority Whip, the third-highest ranking position in the U.S. House of Representatives. He is the first South Carolinian and second African American to hold that position. He is a graduate of Mather Academy in Camden and was a student leader at South Carolina State College in Orangeburg. Before running for Congress, Clyburn served nearly 18 years as the state's human affairs commissioner.

I just saw this and agree that The Rule of Thirds provides a balanced and appealing layout for a photo.But there are times you want to intentionally provide tension and conflict and would violate this "rule".
Do you agree? Does anyone have good examples of this?
Someone once said, "a great photo breaks all the rules". Some good examples of this here.
Same with design. Rules are made to be broken. Sometimes we need to step outside the box and experiment with unconventional techniques, to create something truly groundbreaking and innovational.
They're more like guidelines.
I think everyone has their style, if you find yours and it goes against the status quo, oh well, keep with it, and dare to be unique!
Well stated, @taipres; !
Photo composition is an art and what makes a good composition is largely subjective. But the Rule of Thirds is just one of several "guide lines", as someone else posted, to help draw the viewer's eyes to the subject you want to highlight. For example, you could take just a stock standard centred, straight on view photo of a statue in a park somewhere. If that is what you want, that's fine. But if you want to try to create a more interesting image of the statue you might try taking photos of the statue from different angles, eg. from near ground level looking up at the statue from say about a 45deg angle or whatever. Photography is an art, not a science with hard and fast rigid rules.
When you know the rules then you know when you have to follow them... and when you can to break them!
It really depends on how you look at it, I guess.I do a lot of art that turns our fairly well and I don't use the Rule of Thirds.It's preference. As long as nothing is centered or chopped off weird where you can't see what the object/subject is,I think it would be fine. Keep the eye moving and use odd numbers of point of interests. Photos are photos and they were taken a certain way.If the point and emotion behind the image is evocked properly, I think it's fine no matter what the rules are.Art is expression.
That is the most interesting point of it all; Human Nature.There seems to be an instinctive nature about the way the human brain interprets things we percieve. Symmetry and balance are favored by our natural inclination to recognize 'patterns' in all things*.There has been some very interesting [recent] research that demonstrates the fact that we even CREATE patterns where there are none.
And for that reason, ODD always seems more interesting than even.
*A truly fascinating book, which I highly recommend, is The Drunkard's Walk. It explores and explains this in a very easily digestible manner.
[ot] The other night I watched a new series pilot called "Touch" and it exactly made ParkinT's point on how nature itself shows symmetry and balance in the curve of a wave, the spiral of a seashell, the sections of a pineapple and went on to say that it's all connected, which is something I have believed for most of my life. Snow flakes are also symmetrical... each one, though different in design from the next, has six sides.
I also agree that we create patterns where there are none. For instance, we "see" recognizable objects in clouds. I once had a bathroom tile that, when you looked at it long enough, you could see faces in the pattern. Sort of creeped me out -- all those eyes staring at me! In another instance we "see" recognizable objects in clouds.
It begs the question... are there patterns in everything and we normally just turn a blind eye to them? [/ot]
You have just touched on the philosophical aspect of [Chaos Theory!! Nothing in the Universe is truly random. The digits in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_approximation"]PI ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory)repeat at some point; we simply have not discerned the value far enough to see it.
i call bs on this claim
unless you can provide a reference, of course
ah... we should have been on the lookout for the binaric man! He's a mathematical genius! :teach:
But Rudy... never is a long, long time! (or line if you're talking about PI)
Maybe they do and maybe they don't. But since the value of pi has an infinite number of decimal places then we will never know one way or the other with total certainty.[/ot]
I agree with Meldin, photography is an art and each has his/her point of view whether as photographer or viewer. Additionally, the ever growing use of smartphones and designated apps contributes to the way we interpret photography today,
Yeah ParkinT am totally agreed with you. This picture really shows that the rule of third provide a balanced and appealing lay out. Good to see this pic.
Violating the rule of thirds gives a different perspective and should be considered as an option
A nice quote I heard lately:"Everyone is unique, except me."
not sure where this should have been posted, but "rule of thirds" seems like a good choice, seeing as how there are three people in the picture, haha
that's @ScallioXTX and his lovely lady Tina with me yesterday in toronto

GSA Delivers Quality In Its Child Care Centers
February 5, 1997
Contact: Johanna Roark or
Hap Connors
For the fifth year in a row, the General Services Administration (GSA) reports growth in the number of child care centers it manages, the number of children served by those centers and the number of centers which have attained professional accreditation. Those were the findings in the GSA's annual report, Profile of Child Care Centers, just released.
"We are proud of the success of our Child Care Program," said GSA Acting Administrator David J. Barram. "We recognize that quality child care can benefit society as a whole. It is a bridge to the 21st Century. And, by assuring working parents that their children are receiving quality care, we are improving productivity and effectiveness in the workplace. This is a priority of the Clinton Administration."
The report demonstrates that quality care is essential to GSA. Accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children continues to be a high priority. Currently, 54 centers have attained accreditation. The remaining eligible centers are in the process of achieving that standard.
"By ensuring that children are in quality environments, and receive support and reinforcement from their teachers, we can provide the opportunity for positive development," said Faith Wohl, Director of the Office of Workplace Initiatives, which oversees GSA's nationwide child care programs.
With over 60% of its eligible centers accredited, GSA's childcare program far surpasses the national rate of about 5% for accredited child care centers. "This statistic expresses our determination to have a quality program in which children can learn and grow both socially and emotionally. Accreditation is a requirement for GSA centers," said Wohl.
Report Highlights: Quality, Affordability, Accessibility
In addition to growth in accreditation, the report shows growth in both the number of child care centers as well as the number of children participating. During the past fiscal year, GSA has opened three new centers. Projections call for an additional seven centers to open in fiscal year 97 and five centers to open in fiscal year 98. Also, total enrollment has increased by more than 600 children from last year.
The report also demonstrates growth in the number of families who received tuition assistance during fiscal year 1996 from just over 1,000 to over 1,700 families. The centers reported that over $1 million dollars in assistance was distributed by centers using funds from Combined Federal Campaign contributions, state funds and local fundraising events. Grant money, used for training and special programs to enhance the quality of child care, also affected the cost of child care to parents.
Wohl said, "The cost of caring for children is increasing each year. We must find new and creative ways to continue the same high quality care that has become the benchmark of the federal system. For working parents, child care is not a choice or a luxury, it's a necessity of life. They cannot work without it."
The issue of affordability is a major concern for parents and providers alike, creating a continuing need to balance increasing quality and the cost of the program with what parents can pay. The high cost of providing quality child care is still a challenge, despite the fact that some of the costs are absorbed because GSA provides space, equipment, furniture and essential building services, including security, free of charge to centers.
The authority to provide space and services for child care was granted to GSA in the Trible Amendment, enacted by Congress in 1985. By 1987, GSA was committed to developing child care centers and to assuring the quality of the programs. In 1990, the Office of Child Care and Development was established, and the work started by that office continues today as a key part of GSA's Office of Workplace Initiatives.
For more information on the report, or on attending GSA's Eighth Annual Child Care Conference in Chicago, Illinois, July 9-11, please contact the Office of Workplace Initiatives at (202) 501-3965.

Osteomyelitis isa bone infection caused by bacteria or other germs.
Bone infection is most often caused by bacteria. But it can also be caused byfungior other germs. When a person has osteomyelitis:
- Bacteria may spread to a bone from infected skin, muscles, or tendons next to the bone. This may occur under a skin sore.
- The infection can start in another part of the body and spread to the bone through the blood.
- The infection can also start after bone surgery. This is more likely if the surgery is done after an injury or if metal rods or plates are placed in the bone.
In children, the long bones of the arms or legs are most often involved. In adults, the feet, spine bones (vertebrae), and hips (pelvis) are most commonly affected.
Risk factors are:
- Diabetes
- Hemodialysis
- Poor blood supply
- Recent injury
- Use of illegal injected drugs
People who have had their spleen removed are also at high riskof osteomyelitis.
- Bone pain
- Excessive sweating
- Fever and chills
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill-feeling (malaise)
- Local swelling, redness, and warmth
- Pain at the site of infection
- Swelling of the ankles, feet, and legs
Exams and Tests
A physical exam shows bone tenderness and possibly swelling and redness.
Tests may include:
- Blood cultures
- Bone biopsy (the sample is cultured and examined under a microscope)
- Bone scan
- Bone x-ray
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- C-reactive protein (CRP)
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- MRI of the bone
- Needle aspiration of the areaof theaffected bones
The goal of treatment is to get rid of the infection and reduce damage to the bone and surrounding tissues.
Antibiotics are given to destroy the bacteria causing the infection:
- You may receive more than one antibiotic at a time.
- Antibiotics are taken for at least 4to 6 weeks, often at home through an IV (intravenously, meaning through a vein).
Surgery may be needed to remove dead bone tissue if you have an infection that does not go away:
- If there are metal plates near the infection, they may need to be removed.
- The open space left by the removed bone tissue may be filled with bone graft or packing material. This promotes the growth of new bone tissue.
Infection that occurs after joint replacement may need surgery to remove thereplaced jointand infected tissue around the area. A new prosthesis may be implanted in the same operation. More often, doctors wait until the infection has gone away.
If you have diabetes, it will need to be well controlled. If there are problems with blood supply to the infected area, such as the foot, surgery to improve blood flow may be needed toget rid ofthe infection.
Outlook (Prognosis)
With treatment, the outcome for acute osteomyelitis is usually good.
Outlook is worse for those with long-term (chronic) osteomyelitis. Symptoms may come and go for years, even with surgery. Amputation may be needed, especially inpersons with diabetes or poor blood circulation.
Outlook forpersons with an infection ofthe prosthesisdepends, in part, on:
- The patient's health
- The type of infection
- Whether the infected prosthesis can be safely removed
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You develop symptoms of osteomyelitis
- You have osteomyelitis and the symptoms continue despite treatment

Clomid Over The Counter, Gloria was born in Rochester, NY on Christmas Day in 1935. Her date of birth was the reason her parents, William A. Williams (Bill) and Catherine (Rena) Williams (born McKellar), named her Gloria Carol. Both Bill and Rena were Scottish, late period while on clomid, he born in Port Glasgow and she born of a Scottish shipbuilder also from Port Glasgow, in Superior, Wisconsin.
Gloria was an only child and loved her parents immensely. They were wonderful people and taught her extremely well, for she became an amazing, compassionate, loving, fun loving, wide-eyed friend to all, just like they were, Clomid Over The Counter. Buy clomid without prescription, And from them she also inherited her remarkable sense of humor and absolute love of life. She simply radiated goodness and happiness and warmed everyone who came near.
As a single woman, Gloria traveled the world, even wanting to become a flight attendant if it hadn't meant spending too much time away from her parents, family and friends, cramping while taking clomid, and spent a good deal of time with friends in Europe, as well as some time in the Caribbean and Mexico. Many of these trips were taken with her parents through Kodak tours. Clomid Over The Counter, Through her travels she became lifelong friends with several Europeans, especially a few Swiss, and grew very close to her Scottish relatives.
In 1973 she married Harold Sargent, Clomid ovulation calendar, who everyone has always called Jack. They met on a blind date of sorts at Jack's cousin Christine's house, who was always throwing boisterous parties for big groups of family and friends. Christine had met Gloria when she was a patient at the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor where Gloria was a medical assistant, and invited her to her New Year's Eve party where she would fix Gloria up with Jack, clomid 100 mg no period.
Despite being in their mid to late 30s, neither Gloria nor Jack had been married, and in fact had both been living in their parents' houses since they were born. No wonder people were trying to fix them up, Clomid Over The Counter. They hit it off at the party and Jack asked her out on a date. Follical size on clomid, She agreed, and soon after they had their first night out. Jack, a motorcycle hobbyist but not a hardcore biker, thought it would be a smooth idea to take Gloria to go see 'Easy Rider', knowing only that it had something to do with motorcycle riding and figuring that girls think motorcycles are cool, clomid citrate. He had no idea it was essentially a drug movie. Clomid Over The Counter, Neither Jack nor Gloria seemed to care and continued to date. In fact, it wasn't long before Jack bought Gloria a motorcycle helmet so she could ride on the back of his steel steed. And all of a sudden, Clomid for unexplained, Gloria's parents' remarkable sense of humor briefly disappeared as they watched their precious, only child ride up to their house one day on the back of some biker dude's potentially deadly motorcycle.
After a year long romance and a short engagement (Jack wanted it to be even shorter—perhaps he had finally had enough of living with his parents), they were married on May 20, 1973 and moved in together in a suburban house on Fiesta Road in the Rochester, New York suburb of Greece, clomid temping, where they would live for the next 30 some years before moving to Casa Grande, Arizona to be closer to their children, Matt and Marty (Matt was living in Phoenix and Marty was in Santa Monica).
And children and family was really what Gloria was all about. As much as she loved the familiarity, network of lifelong friends and lush greenery in Rochester, having the family closer together was the most important thing for her, as it was for Jack, Clomid Over The Counter. Buy clomid canada, She traded her beloved lawns, woods, rabbits and deer for her despised sand, heat, scorpions and snakes all for family.
When Matt was born in 1974, clomid danger, she stopped working at the doctor's office and became a fulltime housewife and mother. This was her true vocation, and she excelled at it better than anyone who has ever lived because she loved the job more than anyone who has ever lived. She turned housewifery and motherhood into a true art form. Clomid Over The Counter, Their second child, Marty, was born in 1975—just 11 months after his brother. No sex while on clomid,
Gloria loved nothing more than caring for her family, whether it be preparing amazing meals several times daily, taking the children to all sorts of wonderful places, sewing ornate Halloween costumes, crafting holiday decorations, buying everyone way too many gifts for any and all occasions, average progesterone levels on clomid, or just being always there to show her love for them in infinite ways. Whereas some moms breathe a sigh of relief when the children get on the bus every fall to start school again, Gloria sobbed.
With her family, Clomid process, she adored spending a couple of weeks every summer at a rented cottage on Cape Cod or one in The Thousand Islands region on the St. Lawrence River. She also loved camping (where she would prepare insanely gourmet meals out in the woods), fishing (which she was terrible at), attending Matt and Marty's innumerable sports events, school plays (don't forget picking them up from practice), horrendous band and choral concerts, cub scout meetings and on and on and on, Clomid Over The Counter. Really, she loved doing anything as long as it was with or in the service of the three men she loved the most (which is saying a lot because she loved everyone, and everyone loved her).
Speaking about Gloria's devotion to her family, order clomid online with no prescription, cooking and house beautification, a bereaved Jack opined after his wife's passing: "She liked to cook. She has a four drawer file filled with recipes, and a bookcase full of cook books. Clomid for low testosterone, She loved fresh flowers. Clomid Over The Counter, She said that if she could afford it, she would have fresh flowers every day. When it came time for interior painting or wallpapering, she would help me. This started some arguments but they only lasted about one minute."
Here's a representative example of the remarkable devotion Gloria (and Jack) showed towards their kids. Both Matt and Marty were on the swimming team, which on the east coast is a sport that takes place in the winter season, clomid late period. And winters in Rochester are as miserably cold, wet, and painfully windy as the summers in Casa Grande are hot and dry. And while Matt and Marty were on the swim team, one of the two of them always held a paper route on the next street, Clomid Over The Counter. So rather than have them give up the paper route, Repair uterine thinning due to clomid, which neither Matt nor Marty really wanted to sacrifice despite the near slave wages, Gloria and Jack delivered the papers every single day through the harshest of winter, pulling a sled with a basket on it stuffed with 50 pounds of newsprint. And of course, they still gave Matt and Marty the money they, the parents, clomid ovulation late in cycle, were earning. Who does that. Only the best (some might argue most foolish) parents in the universe.
Clomid Over The Counter, Gloria, as the nicest, most fun person around, of course had an incredible number of friends. Everyone adored her and she never had a single enemy throughout her life. Iui 100 mg clomid, To the day she passed away she was still close with pretty much everyone she had ever come in contact with, all the way back to high school friends—pretty remarkable for a nearly 80-year old woman. The phone rarely stopped ringing from people who wanted their day to be brightened by Gloria.
And her friends weren't just limited to humans. Animal lovers, Gloria and Jack always had pets in the house, and their beloved border collie Fergie as well as the mischievous kitten sisters Sarah and Sadie now survive her, Clomid Over The Counter. All three have brought such tremendous joy to Jack and Gloria's lives, as they continue to do for Jack, clomid 100mg.
Gloria was a person who, even during the very difficult struggles of the last few years of her life, absolutely relished living. Even at the lowest points of her significant illness, Clomid migraines, she never really expressed how truly awful she felt, seemingly to not bring anyone else down. Throughout her life, as long as it didn't have anything to do with snakes, she wanted to do and try everything. Clomid Over The Counter, Even when her health prevented her from being able to all that she wanted, she still found opportunities to try it all, even in what struck others as ridiculous ways. For example, clomid follistim twins, if she were at a salad bar and there were 80 items on it, she would put all 80 on her plate, just to make sure she got to taste it all.
There will never be another person like Gloria because she grew up in a different era. An era when people saw the good things in life and were not spoiled and hardened by the powerful influences of the 21st century. Gloria never became consumed with celebrity pop culture, Taking clomid mid cycle, she chose to avoid email and never felt compelled to check her Blackberry at the dinner table (not that she even knew what a Blackberry was, and she would only check the blackberry crumble bubbling in the oven during dinner). Money and status meant nothing to her, and she loved life more with middle class means than someone 100 times wealthier than she. She trusted people inherently, and voted for her politicians based on how neatly they dressed or whether they seemed to have a good family – because that was what was important to her. She saw only the good in everything, had no hate in her heart, and would always make the best out of even the worst situations. An eternal optimist, clomid chance of multiple, something happened in each day of her life that was always "the best ever".
Gloria is, and will always be, horribly missed. Her being here made the world more beautiful for everyone who had the good fortune of meeting her. And she absolutely made and continues to make, in her memory, the lives of her family so much better, so wonderful, so blessed, Clomid Over The Counter. None of us would be anywhere near the people we have become without her. She will continue to be with us in our every accomplishment, our every good deed, our every happy thought, our every smile.
Mom, we love you so much. You did everything right. Clomid Over The Counter, Bravo.
-Marty (with contributions from my brother Matt and father Jack)

Green leaf clomid, On 9.9.09, Urlesque is sponsoring an online movement called 'A Day Without Cats on the Internet.' Taking a cue from Asylum, buying clomid line, Quit clomid, another, though more male-oriented, clomid clomiphene, Clomid after miscarriage, web trends site that recently announced 'A Day Without Megan Fox' to protest the sultry actress's overexposure online, 'A Day Without Cats on the Internet' aims to revolt against "the over-population of cats on the interwebs" seen in all those "funny cat photos and videos that infest your IM conversations, clomid low price, Clomid ingredients, Facebook walls and e-mail forwards from mom." Many other sites have agreed to heed the ban, including Best Week Ever, clomid post cycle, Coming off clomid, Dumb As A Blog, Lemondrop, clomid get pregnant, Baby aspirin clomid, PawNation, PetSugar, eye problems resulting from clomid, Clomid age 42 wih iui, Popbytes, PopEater, clomid cycle menstrual, Double ovulation clomid twins, The Presurfer, Rocketboom, purpose of clomid, Massive headache from clomid, Snuzzy, Tosh.0 Blog, chances of multiples using clomid, Symptoms from clomid, ZooBorns, and Zoomdoggle.

Therefore, I propose some alternative, more right-minded online blacklists.

Or how about 'A Day Without Body Modifications?'
You never see a cat with body modifications. Only nitwits who try to modify their bodies into cats.

Journos Huff With Fury That Evil Koch Brothers Want To Teach Poor Kids Entrepreneurial Skills
On Wednesday, Ryan Grim, Washington bureau chief for The Huffington Post, issued a press release breathlessly pumping an article that, he promised and swore, exposes plans hatched by Charles and David Koch to "foist" their "worldview on public school students."
How do the Koch brothers propose to accomplish such foisting? In the HuffPo piece, which at about 4,800 words (not including a quiz) runs nearly 20 percent longer (and more boring) than Edgar Allen Poe's famous short story "The Black Cat," two daring reporters explain that the plan is to teach "predominantly poor students" at Highland Park High School in Topeka, Kan. — wait for it — "basic economic principles."
On top of this nefarious instruction, the students then have the opportunity to receive filthy Koch lucre "including startup capital and scholarships."
Grim eagerly points to a sample question from a quiz that is part of the Koch brothers-created material. "True or false," the dastardly quiz question says: "Teaching people how to 'fish' and catch their own food is symbolic of creating opportunities for entrepreneurs so that they can create jobs for others too."
Oh no!
But wait! There's more. So much more. So many more words.
The Highland Park High course and other courses like it have been run by a fiendish nonprofit outfit established and financed mainly by Charles G. Koch ominously called Youth Entrepreneurs. Teachers on school staffs have taught the course. School district superintendents and other tools of corporatist, property-owning one percent have willfully allowed the courses to occur.
According to the conspiracy theorists at HuffPo, "the underlying goal of the program" is not merely to help students understand business. Far from it, bourgeois rube!
Instead, the goal "is to impart Koch's radical free-market ideology to teenagers." And indeed, terrifyingly, this capitalist brainwashing has already "reached more than 1,000 students across Kansas and Missouri."

By Tom carson - I can't say for sure when it happened—it was after Barack Obama's swearing-in yet before Keith Olbermann got suspended for giving money to Democrats—but at some point it began dawning on people that the face of MSNBC was Rachel Maddow. Certainly her bosses thought so. Not only did she have her own prime-time show but she also began landing the gigs traditionally reserved for a network's Grand Poo-Bah, in particular, anchoring election-night coverage.
You can understand why MSNBC execs would want Maddow in this talismanic chair for the 2012 campaign. Young and sunny, she's their highest-rated anchor, especially among the magical 25-to-54 demographic, which makes her the ideal front woman for a network whose tagline is "Lean Forward." Just as important, she's their easiest and most polite host, a woman who once chastised Pat Buchanan on Dan Abrams after he told a Clinton campaign worker to "shut up," a rebuke that left the old pitchfork-waver abashed. Although she can sometimes be too doggone cute, Maddow embodies virtues—rationality, good humor, and courtesy—that make her an alluring alternative to our culture's furious partisan stridency. Her upbeat civility is perfect for wrangling MSNBC's election-night panel, which includes such monsters of vainglory as bluff, blue-collar Ed Schultz, Lawrence ("I'm the real insider here") O'Donnell, and the Reverend Al Sharpton, whose patter has become so lazily formulaic that he seems like a refugee from Portlandia. Smiling and cajoling, Maddow turns them as amiable as puppies.
Maddow is someone liberals can feel good about themselves for liking. She has left-of-Barack politics, yet because her father is a retired Air Force captain, she can speak of caring about the troops without shamming. She's got the intellectual credentials that our side loves—an Oxford Ph.D.! —yet she's also down with pop culture, talking of her life in terms of John Hughes movies. Topping it all off, she's an openly lesbian anchor in an era when people still discuss whether Anderson Cooper is gay. Not so long ago, being out would have kept Maddow off the air. Now, it feels positively ordinary.
We Love Rachel Maddow: With brains, good humor and showmanship, MSNBC's biggest star has captured the liberal imagination

Cleveland police search for more women after tip from kidnap victim
Cleveland police are searching properties Wednesday morning near the home called a 'house of horrors' after they were reportedly alerted by one of the kidnap victims that there may be more women.
Details of a possible fourth victim came to light during police interviews with the oldest victim, Michelle Knight, who reportedly said there was another girl at the home about 10 years ago, but disappeared.
In 2007, Ashley Summers, a 14 year old, disappeared in the same neighborhood. Initially it was believed Summers was a runaway but a few years later, police saw a potential link with the other missing girls.

WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.'s Nantucket Blend is now 100% Fair Trade Certified. Prices and the available varieties and formats of the popular blend will remain the same.
The fair trade conversion will reportedly represent five million pounds of Fair Trade Certified coffee in 2013 and will deliver an estimated $1 million in fair trade social premiums to coffee farmers annually.
In 2000, the Waterbury, VT, roaster became one of the first in the United States to offer Fair Trade Certified coffees. The certification ensures farmers receive a fair price for their beans, resulting in a higher quality of life in coffee-farming communities.
Beans for Nantucket Blend are sourced from Fair Trade Certified coffee farms in Central America, South America, Africa and Indonesia. The coffee is described as a "complex blend that weaves winey, berry tones from East Africa, deep, full-bodied flavor from Indonesia, and zesty and bright flavors from the Americas.
Fair Trade Certified Nantucket Blend is currently available in 12-, 18-, 24- and 80-ct. K-Cup boxes, 16-ct. Vue pack boxes and12-oz. ground coffee bags. A Brew Over Ice variety, rolling out in May, will be the first Fair Trade Certified beverage in the chilled line.
"Converting our Nantucket Blend now allows us to bring more Green Mountain Coffee fair trade varieties to a larger consumer base than ever before," said Lindsey Bolger, Green Mountain's senior director of coffee for its specialty coffee business unit. "We're proud to be able to maintain the taste and quality of one of our most popular coffees while significantly changing the impact its existence will have around the world."

Position Statement 13: Integration of Mental and General Health Care
Mental Health America is committed to the principle that mental health is an essential part of every person's health and well-being and that every child, adult, and family should receive mental health and substance use prevention, early identification, treatment, and long-term support regardless of how they enter the healthcare system.
Mental Health America believes that treating the whole person through the integration of mental and general health care will save lives, reduce negative health outcomes, facilitate quality care, and result in long-term cost savings.
Mental Health America believes that for people who live with chronic mental illnesses, general health is especially important, as a healthy body contributes to mental health recovery. Mental Health America believes that integrated healthcare systems enhance the essential role that social support services play in the recovery process.
Mental Health America believes that integration must involve the entire medical community and include the full continuum of mental health care services. Providers on both sides of the mental and general health care interface should receive full and timely information and should follow evidence-based protocols in order to identify and treat the whole person.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) defines mental health integration (MHI) as a comprehensive approach to promoting the health of individuals, families and communities based on communication and coordination of evidence-based primary care and mental health services. It emphasizes integration as an example of quality health care delivery design that facilitates communication and coordination based on consumer and family preferences and sound economics.
The Institute of Medicine's report on Improving the Quality of Healthcare for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions1 characterizes integration or collaborative care as:
- Communication exists when each clinician caring for the patient (consumer) shares needed clinical information about the patient (consumer) to other clinicians also treating the patient (consumer)
- Collaboration is multidimensional, requiring: a shared understanding of goals and roles, effective communication, and shared decision-making.
- Care Coordination is the outcome of effective collaboration and corresponds to clinical integration.
- Clinical integration is the extent to which patient (consumer) care services are coordinated across people, functions, activities, and sites over time so as to maximize the value of services delivered to patients (consumers).
The interface of mental and general healthcare is well documented. There is a growing awareness of the influence of mental health and substance use conditions and the burden they place on individuals, overall health, and to society. Mental health and substance use conditions are widespread among persons with other health conditions including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders, and other illnesses. Depression can adversely affect the management of chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes2 . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have pointed to the influence of mental health conditions on the onset, progression, and outcome of other illnesses3 . The CDC also points to the correlation between mental health conditions and health risk behaviors such as physical activity and tobacco use. There is also a growing body of research demonstrating the alarmingly high rates of overall health problems and premature death among individuals with serious mental illnesses4 . In fact, people with mental health conditions currently die 25 years earlier than other Americans5 .
Integration has proven to demonstrate improved health status in consumers and improved ability of physicians to manage mental health conditions6 . According to Mental Health, United States, 2004, a growing number of studies demonstrate that programs such as the chronic care model are effective and cost-efficient for improving the treatment of depression in primary care and that there are promising signs that the model is applicable to other mental health conditions. "Collaborative care has been shown to be predictably efficacious and effective if the type of relationship between mental health and medical providers, the population served and the type of service provided are adequately specified7 ."
The current health care system is unable to adequately address both sides of the primary care/behavioral health interface. Although primary care provides the majority of mental health care, barriers such as lack of financial compensation and available time with consumers make it difficult for health care systems to implement effective treatment strategies. Unfortunately, primary care providers commonly fail to recognize or treat some disorders including substance use disorders or depression. Physicians may lack the knowledge or the time to adequately diagnose and treat mental health conditions. Mental health providers suffer some of the same problems with a lack of knowledge of or time to diagnose physical health conditions.
The primary responsibility for providing mental health care continues to fall on primary care. In fact, 54% of individuals with a mental health condition are served in primary care settings. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, 42% of patients with clinical depression and 47% with generalized anxiety disorder (GA) were first diagnosed by a primary care physician 8 . It is also important to note that most individuals prefer to receive their mental health care within primary care since it is perceived as less stigmatizing than the traditional mental health system 9 . The role of primary care identification and treatment of mental health conditions is important for special populations including older adults and low-income minority populations that are likely to go undiagnosed due to a lack of access to primary care. In addressing how to integrate mental health and general health, the Surgeon General's 2000 Report: Integration of Mental Health Services and Primary Health Care provides a set of twelve core principles to facilitate the development and implementation of national and local programs. They include an emphasis on consumers and their families, promotion of health and overcoming disparities, basic characteristics, financial incentives for team approaches, reimbursement to support evidence-based care, collaboration/collocation, chronic illness and continuity of care, standardized quality and outcome measures, building on existing models, research and demonstrations, investment in training, and information technology 10 .
Call to Action
Mental Health America is dedicated to supporting national, state, and local efforts to integrate mental and general health care and to continued efforts to improve the quality of mental health and substance use services available in general health care settings and the quality of primary health care services available in specialty mental health care settings. Our goal is to foster the broad implementation of available research and models in real-world health delivery systems, to ensure that services are appropriate to the population being served, and to eliminate the clinical, financial, policy and organizational barriers to the integration of mental and general health care.
- The integration of mental and general health care must occur at all system levels including the federal, state, and local levels. It also requires a clear effort to overcome the clinical, financial, policy and organizational barriers to fully integrating mental and general health care.
- Many effective mental health services, especially psycho-social, recovery-oriented and rehabilitation services have not been provided in traditional medical treatment settings. It is essential that such services be provided as components of integrated treatment of mental health conditions.
- The federal government should clarify the ability of primary care providers to bill for mental health services, including prevention, screening, and consultation. Medicaid should financially support care coordination and other integration models that have proven to be effective at addressing the needs of diverse populations.
- The federal government should build integration into grant programs, information technology, and policies. The private sector should share its experience with care coordination in order to help foster the growth of integration in all health systems.
- There should be a national action agenda established to foster relationships between consumers, providers, physicians, and payers to overcome the barriers that prevent broader utilization of integration models.
- States and local authorities should also develop initiatives to oversee the provision of health care and to develop community coalitions that can implement integration models that address their communities' unique needs.
- Information technology has the potential to improve the delivery of comprehensive services through improved communication and coordination. The coordination of information systems that bridge systems should promote the use of shared databases across all health service areas while maintaining patient/consumer rights and privacy. Integration also requires better coordination of quality outcome/performance measures. If the quality metrics used to measure healthcare are not aligned, efforts to establish best practices in integration will be pointless. Measurement standards should cross mental and general health and should be influenced by consumer preferences and input.
- As Health Information Exchanges are established, states should assure the maintenance of strong privacy and consent policies concerning mental health and substance abuse conditions along with those concerning the treatment of minors. Technological and policy solutions should be developed so that these important protections do not prevent or inhibit the exchange of electronic health records between general health and behavioral healthcare providers in order to integrate care and prevent medical errors.
- The federal government and states should expand incentives for behavioral health providers to reach Health Information Technology Meaningful Use standards so consumers/patients of these providers can receive integrated care. Organizational issues that need to be addressed include training on both sides of the integration interface: Healthcare workers need to be educated on the value of addressing all health needs in an integrated way, on the recognition of health conditions, and on how to treat mental conditions and when and how to refer to community services.
- It should be an overarching goal to reduce the stigma within both provider communities to eliminate the separation of mental and general health and to overcome stereotypes about individuals with mental health conditions.
- A first step should be better utilization of screening tools in primary care settings with tools that are culturally competent and appropriate for varying literacy levels.
- Evidence-based practices should be expected regardless of the care-setting. Providers should be held accountable for the off-label use of psychotropic medications with children and any overuse of these medications for behavioral management in institutional settings like nursing homes for the elderly.
- Research is needed on the use of integration models with various mental health conditions and for addressing the needs of disparate populations and co-morbidities.

The first ever F.I.S. Big Air competition in Denver was more about who could land than who could throw the best trick. But that doesn't mean the riders didn't put on a good show for the thousands of people who were willing to pay $45 for a ticket to watch the event. The rider lineup was interesting. Because the event was put on by the FIS you needed FIS points to compete… plus the X Games are simultaneously going on in Aspen so it was hard for the bigger name riders to do both. The crowd didn't seem to mind though, they just seemed stoked to see the riders huck themselves off the 14 story jump. The field of competitors was predominantly European, with names most Americans probably couldn't pronounce… with the exception of a few riders. One of which had the last name Macho. I believe the crowd broke out into Village People's "Macho Man" at some point. You gotta love America.
24 competitors narrowed down to 12 for the finals. Another uniquely named euro Rocco Van Straten from Holland won the event with a backside double cork 1080 on his final jump earning himself a score of 27.9 out of a possible 30. Canada's Zach Stone took second. And a crowd favorite, Michael Macho took third. All and all the event was a success. Apparently the crowd ended up being around 14,000 people. And I have to admit, the venue was pretty cool with the jump set between Denver's Romanesque city and county buildings. I can only imagine how sweet it would have been had our sports best big air riders been in attendance.

text: The studios have wanted to shoot a remake of Thelma And Louise because you know, the first one wasn't good enough or something. Somehow Michelle Rodriguez has been cast in the movie and she is pushing hard for her new girlfriend Cara Delevigne to star alongside her. Yeah, a model with virtually no acting experience at all. Of course Brad Pitt was in the original and had virtually no acting experience at all, but his role and that of them women is completely different. Michelle thinks she has enough power to cast aside the first studio choice of Kristen Stewart but I don't think she does. I don't see how the movie will do well at all and casting Michelle and Cara next to each other is a sure way to make sure the movie bombs. When Michelle finds someone to be with she latches on to them and doesn't let go for a month or two but then tires and wants to move on to the next thing. By the time this movie gets around to shooting the two could hate each other. Movies that star your love interest almost never do well and I don't think this would be an exception.

Profar starts on right foot with Express
MLB.com's top prospect picks up pair of singles, stolen base
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 4, 2013 8:51 PM ET
When Jurickson Profar first stepped up to the plate in the Major Leagues, his goal was as simple as it gets.
"I was just trying to hit a ball," he said.
The result was not so simple. The switch-hitting shortstop sent an inside fastball from Indians right-hander Zach McAllister into the right-field seats at Progressive Field for a home run in his Rangers debut.
Profar didn't waver from that original objective when he made his Triple-A debut with Round Rock. The outcome was a little different, however.
On Thursday night, the Rangers' top prospect laced a 1-1 pitch back up the middle, past left-hander Will Smith, for a single and his first Pacific Coast League hit. He finished 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in the Express' 3-1 Opening Day victory over the Omaha Storm Chasers at The Dell Diamond.
But it wasn't just the single that helped Profar get his Triple-A career off to a nice start. It was more about the pitch.
"When I knew I was coming to Triple-A, I was trying to watch some of the pitchers, just to see what they do," said the 20-year-old, who was batting from the right side in his opening at-bat. "And from that, what I was expecting was a lot of off-speed pitches."
Smith's 1-1 offering? A changeup, of course.
The ability to adapt comes as no surprise to those who've followed the player many consider to be baseball's next big thing. He put together a .281/.368/.452 line with 26 doubles, seven triples and 14 homers at the age 19 for Double-A Frisco last season. The combination of youth and production at the plate, along with an advanced glove at shortstop, vaulted him to the top of MLB.com's prospect rankings. .
"He's a fearless competitor. He gets in the box and truly competes. He is truly blessed with hand-eye coordination," Frisco hitting coach Jason Hart told MiLB.com during the offseason. "All of his tools -- he's so gifted -- but his hands and his baseball IQ are so good for his age. He's one of the smartest players you'll come across at his age.
"He can hit the best fastballs in the league and he can cover both sides of the plate and put the off-speed pitch into play when he needs to."
Profar wasn't quite settled with his single in the first. After two pickoff attempts by the southpaw Smith, the native of Curacao swiped second for his first Triple-A stolen base. Despite possessing above-average speed, he stole only 16 bags last year. That said, Profar was adamant that he wasn't trying to get the season off to a speedy start.
"All I was trying to do is move over to scoring position and help out our team for whoever was behind me. That's it," he said.
The shortstop didn't come around to score in the first, but he did in the third when he walked and Rangers' No. 2 prospect Mike Olt doubled. Profar added a single -- an inside-out poke the opposite way to right field -- in the fifth inning.
Playing with Olt, who nearly made the Major League club as a first baseman/outfielder, at third base for a second consecutive season should provide some stabiliity for Profar.
"We've played together a lot now and we've had good communication when we play together," Profar said. "I know when balls are hit to my right side and I can't get to them, he'll be there to pick it up for me."
Both players were charged with throwing errors, but Nick Tepesch -- Texas' No. 18 prospect -- was able to limit the damage in the low-scoring affair. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed an unearned run on five hits and struck out five in five innings for his first Triple-A win.
"He was the Nick Tepesch we like seeing," Profar said. "He's a great pitcher, especially when he's just trying to get contact. I love when he pitches because he keeps me busy over there at shortstop."
While Profar, Olt and especially Tepesch, who will make his Major League debut next week, may not be long for their new home in Round Rock, the youngest of the group insisted the trio's to get the first win out of the way.
"We know we have to just keep working," Profar said. "It feels great to win on the first day, but now we're trying to win every day, too."

Whether to test healthy men with no symptoms for prostate cancer is controversial. Medical organizations don't agree on the issue of screening and whether it has benefits.
Some medical organizations recommend men consider prostate cancer screening in their 50s, or sooner for men who have risk factors for prostate cancer. Other organizations advise against screening.
Discuss your particular situation and the benefits and risks of screening with your doctor. Together, you can decide whether prostate cancer screening is right for you.
Prostate screening tests might include:)
PSA testing combined with DRE helps identify prostate cancers at their earliest stages, but studies have disagreed whether these tests reduce the risk of dying of prostate cancer. For that reason, there is debate surrounding prostate cancer screening.
If an abnormality is detected on a DRE or PSA test, your doctor may recommend tests to determine whether you have prostate cancer, such as:
When a biopsy confirms the presence of cancer, the next step is to determine the level of aggressiveness (grade) of the cancer cells. In a laboratory, a pathologist examines a sample of your cancer to determine how much cancer cells differ from the healthy cells. A higher grade indicates a more aggressive cancer that is more likely to spread quickly.
The most common scale used to evaluate the grade of prostate cancer cells is called a Gleason score. Scoring combines two numbers and can range from 2 (nonaggressive cancer) to 10 (very aggressive cancer).
Once a prostate cancer diagnosis has been made, your doctor works to determine the extent (stage) of the cancer. If your doctor suspects your cancer may have spread beyond your prostate, imaging tests such as these may be recommended:
Not every person should have every test. Your doctor will help determine which tests are best for your individual case.
Once testing is complete, your doctor assigns your cancer a stage. This helps determine your treatment options. The prostate cancer stages are:

I have a fast server, and a reasonably fast home Internet connection. How can I simulate my page loading on a slow connection?
FireFox Throttle [1] is a FireFox extension that should do it. Sloppy [2] is a proxy which slows down your connection so it should work across browsers.
Source [3]
This extension is no longer available but a repo has been created on Github [4].[1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5917/
https: groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sloppy-discuss/tOyCx7igfkw - Jess
Fiddler Web Debugger
[1] is an excellent HTTP proxy debugging tool for Windows that includes a modem speed simulation feature (Main menu > Rules > Performance > simulate modem speed).
Fiddler is freeware.
I also like Charles Web Debugging Proxy [2], a similar tool. Charles can also throttle the connection speed. Charles is commercial software, but has a free trial available. What I like most about Charles is that it is cross-platform: Being Java-based, it can run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. (You didn't mention which platform you're on, but it's probably one of those :-)[1] http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/
Try out http://www.webpagetest.org/test. You can run a test from any of their remote servers around the world and see how fast you page loads from those location. It will even let you use a dial-up speed or other slow speeds for most locations.
In Chrome, you can open the developer tools, click in the device icon (1), and then select the connection throttling (2).
Edit (2015-11-03)
Since around Chrome 45, it actually got a little bit easier: you don't have to be in device mode anymore.
You can slow down specific resources with Deelay.me:
<img src="http://deelay.me/1000?http://mysite.com/image.gif">
Deelay.me [1] is a delay proxy for web resources. You can use it with your images/stylesheets/scripts, to increase their load time.[1] http://deelay.me/
I assume the issue is the same one i have. When developing a web project internally, working on LAN servers, or VM, sometimes you need to simulate a real live scenario, as if the server load were high, in order to see how fast the page loads on the client side, and if some data that comes from the server, actually loads and doesn't mess up your client-sided functions, due to server behavior and delays. Since there is no perfect way of simulating real-case scenarios, the best thing is to make sure, that you fire events, only after the data has been completely retrieved from the server. Using the $.ajax complete function and async:false seems to do the trick so far. This ensures that whatever data-based event you need to fire, will not be executed unless the data exists.
You can emulate various net speeds on a Mac using an free application called Speedlimit [1]
Speedlimit Description:
[1] https://github.com/mschrag/speedlimit
SpeedLimit is a Leopard preference pane for limiting your network bandwidth to one of a couple different speeds — 768k DSL, Edge, 3G, and Dialup. This is really handy for testing your iPhone app under normal Edge network conditions in the iPhone Simulator.
A quick & dirty solution is to upload a large file to try to choke your outbound bandwidth, this should slow down your inbound connection, and is usually easier than trying to similarly choke inbound bandwidth.
Use a mobile phone to connect instead of fast home connection. Open multiple browser tabs with video streaming to further slow down the connection.
Router Method (QoS)
One of the easiest methods is actually by simply login into your router dashboard and tweaking the QoS [1] advanced settings. However... old, ISP provided or cheaper routers generally do not have the advanced QoS features which will allow you to throttle the bandwidth.
If you are among the majority of users with a cheaper or ISP provided router then you may be fortunate enough to have a router that is supported by open source projects whcih will unleash the full potential of your router, not only unlocking full QoS features but many advanced features only found in high end Cisco routers.
Some open source router firmware projects include:

NEW YORK CITY-- The Museum of Modern Art here has pulled the wraps off 14 classic videogames it acquired for its architecture and design exhibit.
The games, which are in the coin-op, computer and online classifications, are: Pac-Man (1980), Tetris (1984), Another World (1991), Myst (1993), SimCity 2000 (1994), vib-ribbon (1999), The Sims (2000), Katamari Damacy (2004), EVE Online (2003), Dwarf Fortress (2006), Portal (2007), flOw (2006), Passage (2008) and Canabalt (2009).
According to MoMA officials, the games and current exhibit represent the start of what they hope will amount to an acquisition of some 40 videogames in the coming years. The first 14 of those games were chosen for their interaction design, visual quality, aesthetic experience and code elegance.
The museum is taking the games seriously. The originals are exhibited as works of art, so museumgoers are forbidden to touch them. However, those wishing to try their hand at classic Pac-Man can do so at specially designed stations. To create the stations, MoMA contacted the original manufacturers, including Namco and Nintendo, to obtain the source codes for the featured games.
A year ago in Washington, DC, the Smithsonian American Art Museum produced an exhibition on videogame art that featured 80 landmark games spanning the medium's 40-year history. | SEE STORY
The MoMA videogame showing opened on March 2 and the games will be on display through Jan. 31, 2014. The museum is located at 11 W. 53rd St.

Really? I thought he was more in the neighborhood of 6'7, maybe even 6'8. If he is only 6'6, then he might be able to move inside to guard. The guy to ask is JWingate though, I know that he is scouting our own players right now
Yup, only 6'6", at least according to just about every site out there.
Hey, he looks a lot bigger on TV. I'm as tall as Doug Free
I have never played a snap of organized football in my life, and all of my friends tell me to try to walk onto the UMass football team just because of how big I am.
Give it a shot

If the Gs and Free still struggle, the Boys should consider moving Free inside as he lacks the lateral movement to pass protect. He may be better off working in a more confined space and where he could better use his athleticism on traps and pulls.
He might be too tall to play guard. I feel like the DTs can get right up under him and drive him backwards

Every inch makes a difference
That's what she said!
If Leonard Davis can move from OT to OG, then Free should be able to do so.

I sent this to Slam in a PM...
I think that our team is 2-3 O-linemen away from a big playoff run.
We are set at LT with Smith, he is only going to get better with age/experience on the left side.
We seem to be set for a few years with Nate Livings at LG. He has been pretty darn good.
Costa/Cook suck out loud at C. This position has to be adressed either via a quality FA, a trade for a veteran or a high draft pick.
Burnindeuce is exactly what we have been calling him. A night of gorging on spicy food and drinking Mexican water would produce more pleasant results than he has. This spot has to be adressed either with a quality FA, trade or the draft.
Then, we have Doug Free. I really don't know what to make of him. He seemed really good at RT when playing for Colombo. Then he moved to LT and was pretty good. But last season, he stunk and seemed to be better suited to the RT spot. Now, I can't tell if he is still having issues or if Burnindeuces deficiencies are causing him to have trouble. If we replace the LG with a quality player, will it make Free better? Or is he beyond salvaging? I think he is worth 1 more year with a new LG beside him.
Smith, Livings, New C, New RG, Free
That definitely is doable in 1 offseason, even with Jerry Jones still involved. One free agent and a draft pick in the first 3 rounds and you have it covered. It is doable, but will it be done? That's the question.
ht, I'll just respond here... There's nothing about the Cowboys organization's recent history that leads me to believe they can find 2-3 good offensive linemen in 1 one offseason. I'm taking serious liberties with the word "good" for what I'm about to say... Since Jimmy, the organization has drafted 3 good offensive linemen... LA, Flozell Adams, and Andre Gurode. Tyron Smith has potential. The organization has brought in a few serviceable FA offensive linemen... Kyle kosier, Marc Colombo, Bigg Davis. Other than that, it's been really slim pickings. Could another organization find 2-3 OLmen in an offseason? Maybe. But there is nothing about the cowboys organization that would lead me to believe that have a high probability of finding one good OLman... Let alone 3.

I think it's a little early to declare the likes of Arkin and Kowalski junk, wouldn't you
? I also wouldn't be so quick to throw out Ron Leary.
Is it too soon to call them "junk"? I guess it would depend on your perspective. You know that I'm a fan of Kowalski and agree that Arkin needed/needs time to develop. However, my concern with him is that he must have been very far behind the curve if he can't crack the starting lineup given the talent devoid players currently occupying some of those positions.
Also, I went on record since draft day that I was 100% behind Ron Leary. I like Leary. I believe in Leary. And I know that the guy can play. I watched him in college. That being said, I look at who we have - regardless of potential (or lack thereof) - and would ask this:
Knowing that we currently only have a collection of young guys whom we hope can play well, why should that stop us from drafting stud offensive linemen early in the draft? Isn't it a better scenario to have "too much" depth at o-line rather than none? Even if the guys we have develop into talented players, what's wrong with having starting caliber backups behind potential pro-bowl starters?
I'll agree on your first point, but I have confidence he (Arkin) can turn into something good at the very least.
I also have no issue with your last statement. I'm all for it. However, as I've mentioned before...the team felt they had some potential depth/starters on the offensive line going into the off-season. They signed Livings and Bernadeau with the hopes they could compete with the talent already on board and start if need be.
They, however, had no depth in the secondary. Therefore, they delegated the majority of their resources to that area. Thus far, we have yet to really allow any deep passes or been torched as a result of the improved secondary. Unfortunately, due to injury...Arkin was not able to focus on his natural position, Nagy ended up on IR and had to be waived to sign a replacement and was snagged by another team, and Kowalski and Costa both missed time due to injury. The injury bug bit us in the arse, not exactly something you can plan for.
Hopefully, we'll see Bernadeuce replaced as someone like Kowalski becomes healthy. That seems to be the plan, at least as of right now. Since Garrett took over, we seem to be targeting areas of need with our draft. In 2011, the offensive line was clearly an issue - Tyron Smith was the first pick, Arkin in the 4th and Nagy in the 7th, then they brought in two UDFAs in Kowalski and Costa. This year, they signed Carr and drafted Claiborne.
Now, the offensive line appears to still be an issue. Using the past two years as an example, they should target drafting an offensive lineman as a priority in next years' draft. It makes sense based on their strategy since Garrett took over. We know he has a good relationship with Nick Saban, so it makes sense that someone like Jones or Warmack will end up here if available.
