i had my rhinoplasty 5 days ago.. I'm really curious to know how my nose will turn out .. i touched the cast today -slightly- , I can feel pain now ..did i do any damage ? i didn't push on it .. i was just trying to assume the width of my nose .. i had my hump removed but nothing done to tip
Touching Nose with Cast After 5 Days? Pain?

5 Days and Touching the Nose after Rhinoplasty
Touching the nose lightly at 5 days should not have any impact on the rhinoplasty results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Touching nose with cast after 5 days?
It is not abnormal for the nose to be sensitive 5 days after rhinoplasty. At this stage after surgery, a light touch or bump can cause discomfort that would not normally be present. You did not necessarily cause any damage, but it is important to protect your nose as much as possible during the initial healing process. I would recommend following up with your surgeon regarding any immediate post-operative concerns. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Nasal Cast
I am sure you did not damage anything. You nose is expected to be sore at this early stage. I would recommend you let things alone and let it heal. Your cast should come off soon.

Before you go further, finish your drink. Put down the baby. CBS MarketWatch columnist Jon Friedman reported today that raging lefty New York Times columnist Frank Rich stresses that he is "anything but an apologist for the lefties and all of their causes.'I trend liberal but I had no use for John Kerry,' he told me."
Riiiight. See the TimesWatch.org Frank Rich page to see if you agree. I'd just quickly cite, on the supposedly-indifferent-to-Kerry front, a Clay Waters report from September 8, 2004: "Frank Rich is back from vacation and in full foam in his Sunday column, 'How Kerry Became a Girlie-Man,' which begins: 'Only in an election year ruled by fiction could a sissy who used Daddy's connections to escape Vietnam turn an actual war hero into a girlie-man.'" Rich was also steamed that "Mr. Kerry was said to appear 'French.' (That's code for 'faggy.') His alleged encounters with Botox and a Christophe hairdresser were dutifully clocked on Drudge. For Memorial Day weekend, the redoubtable New York Post published hypothetical barbecue memos for the two contenders, with Mr. Bush favoring sausage and beer (albeit nonalcoholic) and Mr. Kerry opting for frogs legs, chardonnay and creme brulee." But Frank's not really a fan of the wronged "war hero." Mm-hmm.
PS: Don't miss the family fervor of Mrs. Rich when it comes to the spat with Mel Gibson:
If Rich could shrug it off, his wife, New York Times reporter Alex Witchel, couldn't. "Mel'd better watch out," she told me. "If I ever meet him on the street, he'd better hope someone up there is listening to him." While Witchel underscored the tension of that time, Rich good-naturedly stressed that she was speaking "tongue-in-cheek."

Submission Guidelines
The 2009 Yearbook, Volume 71--the tenth published for us by University of Hawai'i Press--was mailed to members from Ann Arbor, Michigan, in July, 2009. This is the third volume by editor James Craine (CSU Northridge), who continues past editor Darrick Danta's goal of having Yearbooks out before the Annual Meeting each fall.
The Yearbook, the scholarly journal of the
APCG, has gone electronic!
The Yearbook is now part of Project MUSE, a widely used scholarly database that provides full-text coverage for 167 journals. If the Yearbook of the APCG is not yet listed directly in your university's online catalog, you should be able to access it through Project MUSE, assuming your university subscribes to Project MUSE. If your campus has something like "Databases A-Z," click on "P" to find Project MUSE, which, when opened, lists the Yearbook. For individual members not affiliated with a subscribing university and for the public, this issue of the Yearbook can be found at
http://muse.uq.edu.au/journals/yearbook of_the_association_of_pacific_coast_geographers/
Soon after taking over, new Yearbook editor (beginning with volume 59) Darrick Danta (CSU Northridge) discovered that Oregon State University Press was ending their long association--since 1965--with APCG. The interim solution was to self publish. Volumes 59, 60, and 61 were copy edited and placed into PageMaker by Rick Cooper (Cooper Publishing), who lives in Corvallis and worked on volumes 57 and 58 for OSU Press as a free-lance editor.
Volumes 62 through 71 (and we hope all future volumes) have been published by The University of Hawaii Press, ending this challenging transition period during which we published the Yearbook ourselves. Rick Cooper continues to do the copy editing, bringing outstanding experience, ability, and continuity to the task.
For a good sense of the APCG and the Yearbook look through the titles of ALL ARTICLES appearing in the latter from 1965 to 2009 (volumes 27-71), listed chronologically. These are all the volumes published by Oregon State University Press, the three volumes published by the APCG, and the eight volumes published by the University of Hawai'i Press.

Only 6% of Russians think that the government is doing a good job in dealing with economic crisis, according to a recent poll of the Russian public conducted by the Levada Center. Russians also think that its own government is mostly responsible for poor economic conditions. However, while 36% of the public blame the government for Russia's economic woes, only 17% think Prime Minister Putin is responsible. The 20% gap may not seem that problematic, except for the fact that Prime Minister is actually the head of the government. Interesting indeed…

Parvez, Shah (1997) Ligand 1,2 Diimidazlo Ethane & Its Binding Effect on the Coordination Properties and Activity of Metals. PhD thesis, University of Peshawar, Peshawar .
1. Metal chelation is involved in many chemical, industrial and biological systems. The ligands 1,2- Diimidazoloethane (DIE) and 1,3-Diimidazolopropane (DIP), which can be viewed as N,N-substituted ethylenediamine and propylenediamine respectively, form tetrahedral metal complexes of the type [M(L)X] where M=Zn (II) , Cd (I I) , Hg (I I) Cu(II) and CC) (II) and X= Cl Br', I', NO,' and L DIE and DIP. The stearic requirements of the two ligands are similar. The physical measurements of all the complexes indicate that DIE and DIP act as bidentate ligands. 2. The chelation behaviour of these ligands in solution were studied and followed by the synthesis of their metal derivatives, which were characterized by the elemental analysis and infrared spectra. The metal contents in these complexes was assayed by atomic absorption technique and electron microprobe. The purity of these new compounds were further ascertained through melting point. 3. The solid state infrared spectra of these complexes generally support tetrahedral geometry (MN2X2) with coordination through pyrrole nitrogen atom. The effects of chelation on some characteristic bands were discussed and the solid state data are examined in the light of electronic spectra and conductance data of complexes in solution. The spectroscopic! and magnetic properties of these complexes were studied and compared. 4. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis have been employed simultaneously to investigate thermal stability, stoichiometry and mechanism of thermal decomposition of these complexes. The results provide information about complex fragmentation and transformation alongwith exothermic and endothermic changes. The similarities in thermal stabilities of DIE and DIP complexes indicate similar geometric coordination. 5. New quantitative procedures for the estimation of Bi(III), Hg(II) and Sb(III) based on their precipitation with DIE and DIP are reported. 6. In order to understand the comp-lexation behaviour of 1,2-Diimidazoloethane and 1,3-Diimidazolopropane with different transition metal cations e.g., Cu++, Zn++, Cd++, Hg++, Co++ and Ni++, their stoichiometric studies were carried out at different pH values using Job's method of continuous variation. The stability constants of these metal derivatives were also calculated by the same method. 7. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of these chelates were tested against strain of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger by cylinder plate diffusion method.

From Imperial Wiki
Wookiees are large hairy humanoids native to Kashyyyk. Wookiees rarely wear clothing and are incapable of speaking "Basic" (the common language of the Republic and Empire), but they are quite intelligent. The Wookiees were enslaved following the rise of the Empire. Many Wookies were skilled contractors, engineers and navigators. The Empire enslaved wookiees to serve as workers in various engineering projects.
It was noted in the book Death Star that enslaving Wookiees was unnecessary. In many cases, they would have worked on the projects of their own accord for the technical challenges.

ST. LOUIS -- Colorado Rockies manager Clint Hurdle wants
Major League Baseball to take another look at instant replay.
Twice in three games, Hurdle contends, wrong calls by umpires
cost the Rockies home runs. He spoke to the MLB office Tuesday to
voice his concern.
"It's a very difficult call and my point of contention is it
either is or is not a home run," Hurdle said. "I don't think
that's an area where the umpires' discretion should be involved."
"You can't lose home runs. When they're hit, they need to be a homer. That's it, that's the bottom line."
-- Rockies manager Clint Hurdle
The NFL, NBA and NHL all use some form of instant replay. The
issue has been raised in recent years by baseball officials, but
never gotten very far -- commissioner Bud Selig is among those
against it.
On Monday night, what appeared to be a ninth-inning, go-ahead
homer by Colorado's Troy Tulowitzki was instead ruled a double by
second base umpire Bob Davidson, who said the ball went off the top
of the wall in left-center field.
Hurdle was ejected for the first time this season after a long
argument. Tulowitzki eventually scored the tiebreaking run in a 3-2
win over St. Louis.
On Saturday, the Rockies said a home run by Garrett Atkins was
taken away by umpires who didn't see the ball well enough.
"You can't lose home runs," Hurdle said. "When they're hit,
they need to be a homer. That's it, that's the bottom line."
Hurdle said he has examples of other homers that have been lost
the last few seasons. He believes they're often the result of more
fan-friendly ballparks with paying customers closer to the action.
"I don't disagree with keeping the human element on balls and
strikes and plays at first," he said. "That's the hard question,
where do you draw the line? But to say you don't draw it anywhere,
I'm not so sure that's the right answer."
Hurdle said he's in favor of a system where challenges are
limited to game-changing plays.
On Monday night at Yankee Stadium, the Seattle Mariners
benefited from a missed call to beat New York 3-2. Pinch-runner
Willie Bloomquist looked out on a steal attempt in the eighth
inning, but was called safe by umpire Gerry Davis and wound up
scoring the tying run.
"We'll take it," Bloomquist said. "It's just a good thing
there's no instant replay in baseball."
After seeing a replay, Davis admitted he missed the call.
"We're all human," Yankees manager Joe Torre said Tuesday.
Torre, however, was not sure about adding replay.
"How much longer you want this game to go on?" he said.
"There's a difference in getting your money's worth and being able
to get up in the morning."
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said he couldn't tell whether
Tulowitzki's drive cleared the fence.
"They had a meeting, nobody had a better view, the guy scored
anyway, so what's the issue?" La Russa said.
La Russa is not in favor of instant replay.
"I think the umpires do a good job," he said. "They make
fewer mistakes than managers do and pitchers hanging breaking balls
and hitters popping up balls down the middle."
The Rockies ended up winning both of the games in question.
"When you have everybody in the ballpark saying it's a homer
it's kind of tough to believe it's a double," Tulowitzki said.
"Then again they're on my team, so I was a little confused."
"Since I scored and we won, it kind of evens things out a
little bit," he said.

Scots to defend 'grandparent rule'
Scotland's rugby bosses are planning to oppose an Australia's proposal that the so-called "grandparent rule" should be scrapped.
The suggestion was made after it was alleged that Wales flanker Brett Sinkinson and fullback Shane Howarth - both New Zealanders - did not have Welsh grandparents as they had claimed.
The International Rugby Board confirmed on Wednesday that Australia would put forward an amendment at the next board meeting on 25 March. New Zealand is known to back the proposal.
Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) spokesman Graham Law said: "We're not happy with the Australian proposal.
"We have a pretty fragile playing base at the moment and we are very keen at this stage to retain the grandparental qualification."
There are currently 11 players selected for Scotland's senior and A squads who qualify through a Scottish grandparent.
The currrent limit stands at 36 months, but the New Zealanders want that dropped to 24 months.
Australia and New Zealand also want the rules changed so that midweek reserve team games on international tours count as having represented your country at international level.
This amendment is also likely to meet resistance, because many such games take place against provincial or club opposition.
IRB rules state that a player cannot play for another country after receiving senior international honours elsewhere.
But Wales successfully argued that this rule was not enforced, and said that Jones-Hughes had a strong claim to play for his adoptive nation because his father was Welsh.
Some have christened the proposed changes the "Jones-Hughes amendment".
Of the Six Nations, only England and France would escape serious implications if these proposals were accepted.
But Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Italy all have a significant number of players who qualify through grandparents.

The Culture Diaries
A Week in Culture: Jacques Testard, Editor, Part 2By Jacques Testard
This is the second installment of Testard's culture diary. Click here to read part 1.
9:47 A.M. I have a mild headache and I am only on life number three of Dalrymple's Nine Lives. I'm beginning to think that it's quite difficult to get any reading done at a literary festival. When we got home last night I asked Forty to pick me up at 9:30 A.M. He asked me for two cigarettes as a token of goodwill. I complied. He never turned up.
10:34 A.M. I'm attending a showcase panel on "Why Books Matter" with Kiran Desai and Penguin CEO John Makinson. It's being filmed for the BBC and the spotlights are on the audience. It's quite painful on the eyes. According to Sunil Sethi, who presents the only literary show on Indian television, book sales are rising by fifteen to eighteen percent per year in India. I find that very hard to believe. One interjection from the floor offers an interesting insight into this phenomenon. "It is not true Mr. Sethi," says Mumbaikar. "In Bombay the Encyclopaedia Britannica is very popular but that is because it matches the furniture." That's more like it.
1:15 P.M. It's lunch time. I've just had my photo taken by a dozen journalists as a smiling Indian man with neat white hair placed a piece of naan bread onto my plate. I might be in the papers tomorrow—his name is Javed Akhtar and he is a very famous lyricist for Bollywood songs, I'm told. I was an extra in a Bollywood film once. I had to wear a tweed suit at a beach party and pretend to swig from a magnum bottle of vodka.
7:40 P.M. Salman Ahmad has just taken to the stage. The Guardian has described him as Pakistan's answer to Bono. Kamila Shamsie wrote a piece on the rise of pop music in the Pakistan issue of Granta last year on the emergence of pop music in the eighties which charted Ahmad's rise and his turn to Sufi Islam for inspiration.
10:36 P.M. I'm sharing a drink with Samrat, whose debut novel The Urban Jungle came off the press yesterday. He's just given me a signed copy of it—it's a modern rewriting of Kipling's The Jungle Book. Samrat tells me that Sunil Sethi's statistics on the growth of the book market in India are inaccurate. An English language best-seller in India sells no more than five thousand copies, according to Samrat. I've since been looking online and cannot find any information either way. Surely that's too low?

Freezing motion is one of the trickiest but most rewarding challenges in all of photography. The world around us is in constant motion, but cameras can only capture that action in short bursts. If your subject is moving too fast, you get a blurry picture.
All Blur Is Not Equal
I've got a solution for that pesky motion blur, but first I want to point out that there are really two different ways your photos can become blurry. Motion blur--in which your subject is moving too fast to be frozen by the camera's exposure--is one way. But camera shake can blur your pictures as well. If you are holding your camera (as opposed to mounting it on a tripod), then the picture's sharpness is limited by how steady your hands are. The slower the shutter speed, the "softer" your picture will look.
Here, for example, is a photo that suffers from camera shake as a result of hand-holding the cameras indoors, in low light.
You can distinguish motion blur from camera shake this way: Camera shake blurs the entire photo, while motion blur affects only the subject that's in motion. Of course, you can easily have both kinds of blur in a photo, but it's important to remember that the fix is different for each. If you want to reduce camera shake, you need to shoot with a faster shutter speed or, ideally, brace the camera on a tripod or some other support. To control motion blur, well... keep on reading.
Minimizing Motion Blur
There are two ways to control motion blur: You can try to stomp it out by increasing your camera's shutter speed, or you can use the motion to your advantage.
When you're shooting fast action, shutter speed is the most important camera control you've got, so use the camera's Action or Sports mode, or set the camera to Shutter Priority and dial up the shutter speed as high as possible. Here you can see a fast-moving subject that has been frozen in place using this technique.
Panning the Action
A more creative option is to turn the motion inherent in your scene into an advantage. The technique is called panning, and it simply means that you pivot your body as you take the picture, trying to keep the subject centered in the viewfinder throughout the exposure. What you end up with is a compelling photo in which the background is blurry, but the subject is sharp--and the whole photo conveys the impression of speed and excitement.
Taking a good motion-blur photo using panning is as much art as science: You'll need to practice. Make sure the camera's shutter speed is low enough to blur the background, but not so slow that camera shake ruins the shot. I recommend starting at 1/15 or 1/30 second. To get ready for the photo, start tracking the moving subject in the viewfinder while it's still off to the side, and turn your body in a smooth motion as the subject crosses in front of you. As it reaches the point closest to you, gently press the shutter release and continue to pan with the subject as it moves off in the other direction. For the best results, you'll want to follow through, in much the same way a golfer or a baseball player keeps swinging after hitting the ball.

Is this the end of the line for Colossus?
Even while rumors swirled about Six Flags Magic Mountain's future plans for the site, droves of people waited in line for up to two hours Saturday — which also happened to be National Roller Coaster Day — for one last chance to ride the iconic, 36-year-old wooden roller coaster on its final day of operation.
Although speculation centered on a possible future upgrade for Colossus, fans will have to wait until Aug. 28, when Magic Mountain President Bonnie Rabjohn will make an official announcement about what will come next, via a video press release.
About an hour before the park closed, more than 6,000 people had waited in line for a ride on Colossus, many of them coming from out of state to ride the giant one final time, park spokeswoman Sue Carpenter said.
Park officials threw a big farewell party for the big guy, handing out Colossus commemorative buttons and awarding trivia contest prizes.
"People are very sentimental about it," Carpenter said. "The stories that I've heard today — oh my gosh. One family drove here from Phoenix, starting out at 4:30 this morning. There's a couple who spent their honeymoon here. The first ride they went on was Colossus."
Riders cheered and raised their hands at the start of the 2-minute ride, then chanted "farewell Colossus" when they got off.
Standing near the back of the line, Manny Oropeza of Oxnard said he had ridden Colossus at least 200 times over the years.
"Yeah, it's sad to see it go," he said.
Tom Jones was there on Colossus' opening day 36 years ago. He remembered how it towered over the park's other coasters back in the day. It was the biggest, scariest thing around — until the park's steel coasters like X2 came along, Jones said.
"It was just by sheer coincidence that my brother-in-law invited me here today — I had no idea they were closing it down," he said. "I've been on it when they had it going backwards. Today, I'm here with my daughter, so that she can experience it.
"It's a rough ride, and it's made that way," Jones added. "It's made to be noisy, to give you that thrill. This was the best ride ever when I first went on it. It's good to get back on this old thing."
Ojai resident Annette Ewing brought friends from out of town to experience Colossus before it closes.
"It's a great ride," she said. "It's fast; it's got that big drop. It's got everything you want in a big coaster."
When she came to the park two weeks ago, the line for Colossus was much shorter, Ewing said.
"Until they announced they were closing it, people weren't really riding it. They were going to the other coasters, but once they announced it was closing, everybody wanted to ride it one last time."
Earlier in the day, four members of the Save Colossus! campaign, which launched an online petition drive in a bid to preserve the ride, stood at Magic Mountain Parkway and the Old Road, waving signs and chanting.
"I first rode it when I was 7 years old," said Montana resident and Save Colossus! co-founder Matt Glumac. "It is an important piece of roller coaster and Six Flags history, so I came out here to help."
Contributing Signal writer Alexa Ferrante added to this story.

Post subject: 2014 NFL Mock Draft 2/15
2014 NFL Mock Draft:
1.Houston Texans: Johnny Manziel QB
Could be Bortles here, but I see Johnny Football staying in Texas. High ticket sales and he would be absolutely deadly with arian foster, andre johnson, deandre hopkins, garrett graham, and the Texans oline, which is extremely underrated. I could definitely see them winning the AFC South this coming year.
2.St Louis Rams: Greg Robinson OT
Jake Long tore his ACL and MCL and Rodger Saffold is a free agent. Rams get a huge upgrade to Oline with a potential HOF talent and get a guy who can hold his own against aldon smith, michael bennett, and calais campbell if need be. Bradford needs protection.
3.Jacksonville Jaguars: Teddy Bridgewater QB
Jags get their guy and elevate their offense to a new level. It seems perfect as a Florida kid with a great head on his shoulders. I see the Jags improving their record with TB to around 7 or 8 wins and adding a lot of defensive pieces in the 2nd (attaochu, etc.) and beyond.
4.Cleveland Browns: Sammy Watkins WR
With Manziel and Bridgewater gone, I don't see the browns taking a chance on Bortles here. The browns grab the best WR prospect (arguably) since AJ and Julio and put him across from Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron. He can do damage underneath and help the Browns QBOTF immensely.
5.Oakland Raiders: Jadeveon Clowney DE
The raiders get a future defensive cornerstone for the forseable future with the hope that the improved pass rush will act as a ripple effect capable of improving the secondary.
6.Atlanta Falcons: Khalil Mack DE/OLB
Falcons miss out on Clowney, but add a hybrid pass rusher capable of putting up 10+ sacks and huge tackle numbers with excellent athleticism and great technique.
7.Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Anthony Barr DE/OLB
Tough pick here, I could see it being Matthews, but I see Lovie Smith taking a bit of a risk with Barr, who could play OLB across from Lavonte David on 1st and 2nd down and line up as a DE or 5th rusher on 3rd down. If anyone can help Barr reach his limitless ceiling, it would be Lovie Smith. Being on a good defense already can't hurt.
8.Minnesota Vikings: Blake Bortles QB
Minnesota gets perhaps the "steal" of the draft so far with bortles. He has a big arm for Norv Turner's vertical offense and the mobility to run read option plays with AP, meaning more rushing yards for the best RB in the nfl and 1 on 1 coverage with Jennings,Patterson, and Decker (Minny Kid?).
9.Buffalo Bills:Mike Evans WR
Another tough pick, but I see the Bills grabbing Evans because of concerns over Stevie Johnson, who may be traded. Evans will surprise at the combine and may post a 4.5 or even slightly below. He's well worth this selection and would give manuel a big target to go with a bunch of speedy complements and could help Buffalo's offense in a big way. Spiller and Jackson will breath a sigh of relief at not having to face stacked boxes.
10.Detroit Lions: Darqueze Dennard CB
Detroit will be mad that Evans went right before them. A trade up for Watkins is possible, but I see them grabbing a local product with shutdown potential, who will surely be helped by Detroit's monstrous Dline. WR is deep and Detroit could let an excellent player like Davante Adams fall into their laps, or trade up into the back of the 1st for a WR that they like (Jarvis Landry comes to mind).
11.Tennessee Titans: CJ Mosely ILB
Mosely can do it all. Rush the passer, drop back into coverage, and be a factor in the running game. Dee Ford is also possible here with a big combine and would also provide a big boost in the pass rush department.
12.New York Giants: Jake Matthews OT
I see Matthews potentially dropping because of a poor combine, plus he had a few bad games this year. The Giants grab a guy to protect Eli for the rest of his career and strengthen the oline considerably.
13.St Louis Rams: Haha Clinton Dix S
Calvin Pryor has been a popular player in recent weeks, but I still prefer Haha in pass coverage and he could help the Rams pass defense tremendously.
14.Chicago Bears: Timmy Jernigan DT
The bears have defensive needs everywhere and a number of trades down are not out of the question.However, at this slot they grab a DT capable of strengthening their run defense tremendously while adding some interior pass rush. I like Jernigan's floor a lot more than Hageman's and his run defense better than Donald's.
15.Pittsburgh Steelers: Eric Ebron TE
Rothelisberger gets a nice compliment to Heath Miller. The old defense will be improved later in the draft, but Ebron could be a difference maker from day 1 and a dark horse for OROY with Big Ben at the helm.
16.Baltimore Ravens (coin flip):Marqise Lee WR
The ravens grab steadily dropping Lee to complement Torrey Smith on the outside. Lee has the potential to be the best WR in the class if he can overcome his inconsistent hands and the ravens will gladly take him here.
17.Dallas Cowboys (coin flip) Kony Ealy DE
Demarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer could be on their way out due to salary cap issues and the Cowboys grab a talented defender with good upside to replace one of the two of them.
18.New York Jets: Odell Beckham Jr WR
The Jets grab the best WR available with Ebron gone and add a desperately needed playmaker to their offense. OBJ compares favorably to Victor Cruz and has the speed and elusiveness to be a big asset to Geno Smith in the Jets offense.
19.Miami Dolphins:Cyrus Kouandijo OT
The dolphins have a terrible oline and poor Ryan Tanehill is getting sacked out of his mind. There is a good chance that they will sign Brandon Albert, but a need is still present at RT and within the interior line and Kouandijo is arguably BPA here.
20.Arizona Cardinals: Taylor Lewan OT
The cardinals have a big need at OT and while Lewan struggled a bit at times at OT, but he still represents great value here and can keep Carson Palmer protected in a division filled with nasty pass rushers.
21.Green Bay Packers: Rashede Hageman DT
Hageman would be a powerful 3-4 DE able to push the pocket and disrupt plays. He fits with the Packers style of draft and would be able to open up opportunities for Clay Matthews and Nick Perry to get to the qb.
22.Philadelphia Eagles: Calvin Pryor FS/SS
The eagles have a big need at safety and Pryor can step in day 1 and make plays for the secondary.
23.Kansas City Chiefs: Kelvin Benjamin WR
This is a bit boom or bust but Benjamin has shown flashes of brilliance and could become a monster. He may move up boards depending on his combine. The Chiefs really need to give Dwyane Bowe some help though on the outside.
24.Cincinnati Bengals: Justin Gilbert CB
The Bengals have barely any needs and i thought about giving them an OT here or maybe Shazier
, but I settled on Gilbert to bolster the Bengals secondary and add depth for when Pacman retires.
25.San Diego Chargers: Jason Verrett CB
San Diego needs to improve their shaky secondary and Verrett is a nice step in the right direction with his agression in run support, fluid coverage ability, and penchant for breaking up passes.
26.Cleveland Browns: Derek Carr QB
Carr would be a perfect match to work with Watkins and Gordon down field and would help Cleveland's vertical passing game immensely. He could sit behind Hoyer for a bit if need be, but he has the arm and athleticism to be a franchise passer in the right system.
27.New Orleans Saints: Dee Ford OLB/DE
Ford is a great fit for Rob Ryan's defense and with players like Cameron Jordan eating up blocks, Ford could step in and contribute hugely as a rookie once he makes the full adjustment to a 3-4 scheme.
28.Carolina Panthers: Allen Robinson WR
Robinson may lack a bit of deep speed, but he is great at making contested catches and would provide a lot of help for Cam down in Carolina. This could be a great fit for years to come.
29. New England Patriots: Louis Nix III NT
Perhaps this is a bit of an overreaction pick, but Wilfork did tear his Achilles and the Pats run D was gashed last year. Nix could rotate in and out with Wilfork, or even play next to him on 1st and 2nd down. That's a scary thought for running backs.
30. San Francisco 49ers: Jordan Matthews WR
Matthews is extremely smooth and lacks a bit of deep speed. However, he has excellent hands and runs clean routes, making him a great intermediate target for Colin Kaepernick and an immediate contributor next to Crabtree and Boldin. He may not quite be a #1 WR, but he has consistency written all over him. Plus he IS Jerry Rice's cousin. Destiny at work?
31.Denver Broncos: Aaron Donald DT
Donald is robbed because of his height and falls far to a team who would love his services. Donald's interior pass rush abilities have drawn comparisons to Geno Atkins and he could go a lot higher than this.
32.Seattle Seahawks: Austin Sefarians Jenkins TE
The Seahawks get a local product and likely the starting tight end if Zach Miller decides not to take a pay cut. WR is also possible here, though the value is better in the late 2nd for WR. If thurmond and browner leave, it is possible that the Seahawks could take Roby here, though that would be unlikely.

Mack = perfect for falcons with Clowney gone.
Not 100% against going to 4 to grab Clowney by giving up say a #6 and a 3rd for #4 if Browns are interested.

Yeah I did no trades. I'm sure the browns would be somewhat interested in dealing the pick. I feel that on draft day, either Dimitroff will get Clowney by all means necessary, or trade down a fair amount. I'm not sure which one.

And play him where? 3-4 DE? The browns are beyond loaded on defense and pass rush except for ILB. Watkins is the best offensive player and has probowl potential. I don't see that happening.

The state Health Department is holding hearings around the state, including in the Bronx, this week and next week to get public feedback on New York's application requesting flexibility in improving care, boosting efficiency and cutting costs in Medicaid, a health-care program for the poor and disabled. Obtaining a waiver would allow New York to invest up to $10 billion in savings over five years that stem from reforms the state implemented in the past few years, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced recently.
Cuomo created the Medicaid Redesign Team after taking office last year to recommend improvements to New York's $53 billion program, which is funded by the federal government, the state and county governments. The Legislature adopted the changes last year. The projected savings is $34.3 billion over five years for both the state and federal government — $17.1 billion of which would be state savings. New York would use the money to reinvest in the state's health-care infrastructure and reduce costs over the long term.
The public hearing in the Bronx will be held from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. June 18 at Bronx Community College, 2155 University Ave. The other hearings are in Albany, Buffalo and Syracuse. Comments are limited to two minutes per speaker; pre-registration is not necessary.
"We have already taken the first steps to transform our state's health care system, including cutting costs to taxpayers and improving the quality of care," Cuomo said in a statement last week. "The Medicaid Redesign Team has led the charge, and this waiver will allow New York State to fully implement the groundbreaking MRT action plan to permanently restructure our health care system and make New York a national model."
The state needs approval for the waiver from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. In addition to the hearings, the Health Department will be getting input from the public, providers and Medicaid participants through forums, webinars and focus groups.
The waiver New York is seeking would allow experimental, pilot or demonstration projects. The state would have additional flexibility in designing and improving programs, such as using "innovative" service-delivery systems that improve care and efficiency and reduce costs. The waiver would have to be "budget neutral" for the federal government, which means federal costs couldn't be more than they would be without a waiver, according to the Cuomo administration.

In key swing states like Nevada and at the national level, Latino and new citizen voters are changing politics. While these voters care about the same issues as all Americans, they have a unique and personal connection to the immigration debate that often shapes their political views. Pollsters, political analysts and community leaders will discuss the politics of immigration and the Latino vote.
UNLV Political Science Professor David Damore will release new polling of Latino voters in Nevada, and a diverse panel of experts will analyze the findings and assess the way the presidential, senate and house candidates have handled the issue during their campaigns.

IRMC's cancer program has been accredited through the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer since 1989. Public Reporting of Outcomes: Ensuring Patient-Centered Care.
The Cancer Center's Tumor Registry participates in the National Cancer Database of the National Cancer Institute.
Clinical Research
Clinical trials are key to developing new methods to prevent, detect, and treat cancer. It is through clinical trials that researchers can determine whether new treatments are safe and effective and work better than current treatments. When a person takes part in a clinical study, it adds to the knowledge about cancer and helps improve cancer care.
Types of Clinical Trials
- Treatment trials test new treatments (a new cancer drug, new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy, new combinations of treatments or new methods like gene therapy).
- Prevention trials test new approaches, such as medicines, supplements or exercising that doctors believe may prevent cancer or lower the risk of a certain type of cancer.
- Screening trials study the best way to test for and find cancer, especially in its early stages.
- Quality-of-life trials, or supportive care trials, explore ways to improve comfort and quality of life for cancer patients.
Deciding to take part in a clinical trial is an individual, voluntary decision. A clinical trial is an option to obtain access to a possible higher technologically advanced treatment before it is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The decision to participate must be made based on many factors, to include the benefits and risks of the study. Participation in a clinical study is provided at no cost to you; however treatment that would be considered standard of care, or treatment you would normally receive if not participating in a study, would be the responsibility of you and/or your insurance.
John W. Scully Volunteer Program
As part of the Scully-Welsh Cancer Center at Indian River Medical Center we have developed a support system for people who have been diagnosed with cancer called the John W. Scully Volunteer Program. A new diagnosis of cancer is very frightening and a survivor or caregiver can best relate due to their own circumstances. Plus, our volunteers provide an ongoing positive and uplifting support for our community members and their loved ones who need them.
Candidates considered for volunteering must meet one of the following criteria:
- Those who have or had a cancer diagnosis
- People who support loved ones with cancer
- Those who have lost someone to cancer
We understand that each person has positive attributes in different areas so we allow our cancer volunteers to reach out to cancer patients and their families through a variety of ways:
- Visits in chemotherapy infusion unit
- Visits in radiation therapy unit
- Visits in inpatient cancer treatment unit
- Attending community health fairs for education and information purposes
- Assisting with cancer resource library
- Follow-up telephone calls to patients
- Assist with clerical work in cancer office
Most volunteers will choose to work a 4-hour shift any day of the week.
Patient Care Navigators
Often a diagnosis of cancer can be overwhelming for patients as well as their families and this program helps eliminate or reduce barriers because you will have a dedicated point of contact to help you every step of the way. Too often patients are lost in the system after screening because of:
- Missed appointments
- Financial problems
- Other barriers to timely and appropriate care
All patients with suspicious findings should receive a timely resolution to those findings by further diagnosis and treatment. Resulting in:
- Better outcomes
- Improved patient care coordination
- Enhanced relationships within the community
The value of the program for health care professionals comes from:
- Better patient preparedness
- Improved collaboration among health professionals
- More efficient use of clinical involvement with patients
- Identification of service gaps
Support Groups
Numerous cancer support groups are available in the Indian River community, designed to benefit current patients, patients living with cancer, family members, caregivers and close friends.
Support groups provide the opportunity to share personal stories, gain practical information and receive emotional support from others in similar circumstances.

Play You, Play Me: Pre-Theater Pizza at 44 & XFebruary 13, 2006 | By | COMMENTS
Sometimes you eat gourmet pizza because you're in the mood for gourmet pizza. Other times you eat gourmet pizza because you've gotten student tickets for Horton Foote's "The Trip to Bountiful," it's 6:30 PM and freezing outside, and the restaurant closest to the theater is too expensive for you and your companions. That restaurant would be 44 & X which is on the corner of (duh!) 44 & 10th Ave. I've eaten there before and written about it here. The food is good but a bit pricey. My companions on this chilly theatrical eve were not having it. So where did we wind up? Why…44 & X. Huh?
Ok, I'm confused myself. The one on the corner of 44th and 10th is called 44 & X, right? Well how come we walked a few doors down and found ANOTHER 44 & X that served more reasonably priced food.? Clearly they had the same owners because the waiters were wearing similar t-shirts. I've done some Googling to determine an answer and an answer I have not found. [Incidentally, when I worked at Atlanta Legal Aid my boss wrote an evaluation that said my research skills were "abysmal."] So you'll just have to accept that the 44 & X I review in this post is not the same 44 & X I reviewed a few months ago. This 44 & X has pizza.
Gourmet pizza. And somewhat reasonably priced at $12 for an individual pie. Now that may not sound reasonable, but perhaps you should consider that one of the pies featured lobster:
Diana's pie featured mushrooms:
And Patty's pie featured Provencal ingredients like olives, tomatoes and mustard:
Oh don't "hmmm." That mustard one was delicious: in fact, it was my favorite. We all shared each others. We agreed that the lobster and the Provencal were the best and that Diana's was the suckiest.
"Awww," said Diana. We did not pity her.
In conclusion, should you see "The Trip to Bountiful" before it closes in two weeks (and I recommend that you do, it's a warming show to see on a cold winter's night–like a long hug from your grandmother) I recommend that you go to 44 & X if you have the money, but if you don't why not try 44 & X? It'll hit the spot.

Dhaka transport officials say there are 400,000 cycle rickshaws in the city but only 80,000 are licensed.
They say the rickshaws are a major source of the capital's congestion.
A rickshaw drivers' organisation has threatened to impose a dawn to dusk strike on Saturday if the clampdown does not end.
New jobs
Dhaka City Corporation has set up police checkpoints in five places across the city to seize illegal rickshaws.
But the Bangladesh Rickshaw-Van Owners' and Drivers' Association has threatened to strike on Saturday.
It said the clampdown should stop unless authorities created alternative jobs for the rickshaw pullers.
Some pullers say they have nothing to do with the issue of licensing as they do not own the rickshaws.
"I know nothing about whether the rickshaw is legal or illegal," said one puller.
"I only drive it and pay some money to the owner each day. Only the owner can say whether he has obtained a licence for it."
Traffic congestion is a continuing problem in Dhaka. Sometimes commuters have to wait hours in jams.
The situation has worsened in the past few weeks, according to officials.
They say that forthcoming religious festivals have contributed to the increase in traffic.

Well, it turns out (for somewhat mysterious reasons) that *all* 64-bit hardware on which you install Windows Server 2003 displays AMD64 as the processor architecture, regardless of whether it's x86-64, x64, AMD64, EM64T or whatever. So don't get confused and think that Intel has suddenly been acquired by AMD!
