Daniel Tosh takes aim at ESPN for stealing 'Web Redemption' segment
Warning: video contains explicit content
ESPN has a new segment called "Awesome Video Segment," which is very similar to Tosh.0's popular "Web Redemption" segment on Comedy Central, and host Daniel Tosh did not take too kindly to having his idea stolen.
Since turnabout is fair play in some circles, Tosh decided to replicate SportsCenter's "Sports Science" feature, taking aim at a variety of ESPN on-air talent, as well as the company's treatment of Roger Goodell, LeBron James and the SEC.
While Tosh's version of "Sports Science" may not be as scientific as ESPN's, it is definitely funnier.

MINNEAPOLIS Philip Nelson got his shot as the University of Minnesota quarterback last season, burning a redshirt year and getting a shot to replace Marqueis Gray as his freshman season progressed. Last year's experience has put Nelson in the lead to replace Gray on a full-time basis now as Minnesota begins spring practice this week. Head coach Jerry Kill confirmed Nelson would work with the first-team offense when practice begins Tuesday, but said it will be up to Nelson to prove he deserves to keep the position. "When you go in as a quarterback, he finished the season," Kill said Monday. "He played in the bowl game, did some great things in the bowl game. Philip's going to go when we run the first group. He'll be out there with the first group, but he's going to have to prove it on an every-day basis, just like every other player we have on the team. And we got two young guys I'm sure that are hungry and wanting to show what they can do, and we're excited about that, and we'll see how all that works out. But it's just like anything, you're going to have a guy that starts and somebody's got to take the job, and that competition is good." Nelson finished last season with a 49.3 completion percent, throwing eight touchdowns and eight interceptions, averaging 124.7 passing yards per game with a 104.43 quarterback efficiency rating. Gray was a senior and is preparing for the NFL draft. Sophomore Max Shortell announced his intention to transfer after the season ended. That leaves Nelson as the lead candidate, and only experienced returner. Sophomore Logan Connors, redshirt sophomore Dexter Foreman, redshirt freshman Mitch Leidner and freshman Chris Streveler, who will participate in spring practice, are listed on the team's spring roster. "I think not only Philip, but you know, all of them have done a great job of doing things on their own and getting their team out there," Kill said. "Not ours, getting their team out there, getting their receivers out there, getting their tailbacks out there, making sure they get all the things that when we start spring ball we don't have to go way back. We can build off where we left. And that's what our goal is." Nelson was 7 of 16 passing for 138 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Minnesota's 34-31 bowl loss to Texas Tech and his play slipped after a promising first two games, including a win against Purdue in his second start, when he went 15 of 22 for 246 yards passing and three touchdowns. But Kill touted Streveler's athleticism Monday and Leidner's progress in the offseason workout program while saying Monday Nelson will have to earn the right to continue as the starter. "It's like anything," Kill said. "One of the things, as I told our coaches, we're holding everybody accountable. We're going to hold our players accountable. We're going to hold our coaches accountable. And when we come in, it's going to be hard for me to meet with everybody that wants to meet with me, and we're going to take every film and we're going to grade it just like it's game day. We got 15 practices. We actually got, in our opinion, 15 game days, and we're going to grade them all 15 times. That way when a kid comes into my office at the end of spring, this is where you're at. You got to prove it. That's the deal of being accountable and developing a consistent football team." Along with giving each quarterback his shot, Kill wants to improve the timing and cohesiveness between the quarterbacks and receivers. "Repetition is what those kids need," Kill said of the quarterbacks. "They need repetition at throwing the same balls, the same routes, getting used to the receivers. We played three centers and three quarterbacks last year and still went to a bowl game. I don't know if there's very many people in the country can ever say that. And so the continuity between the quarterbacks and receivers, and to credit those kids, they came back after the bowl game and they've been practicing on their own, so when they line up and the quarterback comes up and you got to corner off, that quarterback can look out there and throw it. But you have to have chemistry to do that. So I don't think we ever developed a whole lot of chemistry because of the injury situations we've had at quarterback." Kill mentioned Devin Crawford-Tufts, Isaac Fruechte, K.J. Maye (who has moved to receiver), Logan Hutton, Ben Holcomb, Devon Wright and Derrick Engel as the receivers that will be working with Nelson and the other quarterbacks. "Hopefully that benefits everybody with repetition and timing and throwing and catching the ball," Kill said. "We need some guys to grow up and be play makers, you know, and I think that you look at the receiving core, and those kids have worked hard, and we got to keep them healthy." Olson out for spring practices: Kill mentioned a few players with injury concerns as the spring begins. Kill said senior offensive lineman Ed Olson, who started all nine games he played in last season, won't participate in spring practice as he recovers from ankle surgery. Senior offensive lineman Zach Mottla, who suffered a broken leg last year against Illinois is also out. He started three games last season at center. Kill said senior defensive lineman Roland Johnson (knee) and sophomore linebacker Peter Westerhaus also won't practice in the spring. Marcus Jones, who is moving from receiver to cornerback and receiver Jamel Harbison are both coming off knee injuries and will eventually return to practice this spring, but will wear green jerseys and be limited in contact. Making a switch: Kill identified a few players that will be switching positions this year, including Jones' move to cornerback. Derrick Wells will play cornerback and safety, Kill said. Cedric Dicke will move from safety to linebacker. Devon Wright is moving from running back to wide receiver. "That's a 4.4 speed person that we've had at running back, but he's got a little height to him," Kill said. "And we feel like his skill level, we worked him during bowl camp as receiver in some of those things, and he did a pretty good job, so we're going to start him out at receiver to use some of that skill that he has."

ARLINGTON, Texas -- So far any concern about the 130 pitches Yu Darvish threw in Thursday's start against the Detroit Tigers aren't shared by the pitcher himself.
It has been business as usual for the seven-game winner, who said he hasn't changed anything about his between-starts routine.
"I didn't have much fatigue after the 130 pitches," Darvish said.
His next start against the Oakland A's and their right-hander Dan Straily will have a little less -- make that a lot less -- hype than Thursday's matchup against Detroit's Justin Verlander. Darvish won that game, even though both pitchers struggled early.
Verlander was knocked out of the game in the third inning after he allowed eight runs. Darvish trailed early, 3-1, but bounced back to pitch eight innings and throw those final 15 pitches in the eighth inning to get him up to 130.
The highlight of the outing was Darvish's slow down curve to Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, who hit a three-run home run Sunday night against Derek Holland. Darvish found a way to baffle Cabrera, throwing him the 62-mph curveball that he's gone as low as 59 mph with this season.
"I got a swing and a miss from Cabrera," Darvish said. "I don't think I have to perfect that anymore."
Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan said on Galloway & Company on ESPN-FM 103.3 this week that Darvish has the best slider in baseball. Darvish said Sunday that he is honored and grateful that the Hall of Fame pitcher would say that.
Darvish was asked where he ranks himself among the top pitchers in baseball after starting this season with a 7-1 record and a 2.97 ERA. It's too early to tell, he said.
He's pitched only 38 games in the big leagues.
"I still think Verlander is the best pitcher in Major League Baseball," Darvish said. "I only have won 20 or so games here in the big leagues. I don't think I'm at a point where you guys can compare me to the top pitchers in Major League Baseball. I'm not even at the starting point."

When a Vashi resident found dead flies in a packet of bread and called the customer care, little did he imagine that the Irani brothers, who own Wibs, would land up at his house and one of them would eat the bread, the flies and even the packet they came in!
When this Vashi resident found dead flies in a packet of bread and complained to the company, he never imagined that the proprietors would turn up at his doorstep and gulp down the evidence bread, flies, packet and all.

Bhanushali found these dead flies in a packet of Wibs bread and complained on the company's customer care number. Pic/Nimesh Dave
But this is exactly what happened, alleged Ajay Bhanushali (42), who had bought three packets of Wibs bread from a local store on Sunday. His family was halfway through one of the packets, when they discovered four to five dead houseflies nestled under the remaining slices.
He first informed the local shopkeeper and then called the customer care number of the company, Wibs, to complain about the flies. According to Bhanushali, a company supervisor visited the very next day, but did not provide a satisfactory explanation.
Ajay Bhanushali and his family had finished half the packet when they discovered four to five dead houseflies lying under the remaining slices. Shocked, Bhanushali called the company to complain
So when Bhanushali asked whether he could visit the bakery to check the hygiene precautions taken there, the supervisor told him to speak to the owners instead. On the third day (Tuesday), two of the owners of Wibs Hoshang Irani and his brother allegedly turned up at his house in Sector 30.
On the third day, he allegedly received a visit from two of the company's proprietors Hoshang Irani and his brother and he told them about the flies
"One of the owners happened to be Hoshang Irani, with whom I had spoken over the phone as well. The Irani brothers visited my home, but when I showed them the bread packet with the dead flies, one of them ate the bread slices along with the flies and even the packet," said Bhanushali, further alleging that they had even threatened him.

According to Bhanushali, one of the Irani brothers simply rolled up the packet with the bread and flies in it, and gobbled up all of it. He alleged that they even threatened him
The same day, he went to the APMC police station and registered a non-cognisable complaint against the owners of Irani Food and Investment Company Private Ltd under Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
Bhanushali then registered a non-cognisable complaint at the APMC police station with criminal intimidation charges against the company owners. Illustrations/Uday Mohite
The complaint reads, "The owners of the company visited the complainant's house and without listening to him, ate the bread slices of the packet in which the dead flies were found." The entire episode has left Bhanushali confused.
"I never demanded any compensation from the company; I just asked them to let me visit the premises where the bread is manufactured so I could see for myself whether hygiene was being maintained or not.
But I never imagined that the owner would come and eat the bread, along with the dead flies and the packet just to destroy the evidence! I had expected better of them," he told mid-day.
The other side
Wibs proprietor Hoshang Irani, denied any information about the incident and refused to comment. "I don't know what you are talking about. Do not disturb me," Irani told this paper.
Never believe or rant over such news before checking, I know we have the genes of Slaves of british, but we need to be practical and think broadly. We should change now.According to the photographs, the flies are not merged into the dough. They are settled at the bottom of the package. So, the scene somewhat presumes like this - There must be a hole in the packing of the bread(somehow it got poked in transport). The flies sneaked in and and died.The owners gobble episode must be another thing.
If that is the attitude, stop using wibs, let the sale come down and they will realise, when they say dont disturb me
Their sales will never go down.Every hawker, restaurant
Yuccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Hoshar Irani- not Hoshang Irani.Do I hear Mumbai saying- "No more Wibs bread, dikra"?

Lady docs and nurses are in the small-screen spotlight this fall, with three shows slated to premiere in coming weeks. First up is "The Mindy Project," a sitcom about a neurotic OB-GYN who awkwardly navigates life and love while longing for a happy ending befitting a 1990s romantic comedy. The fictional Mindy is played by Mindy Kaling, of "The Office" fame, who laments in the Sept. 25 pilot: "Maybe I'll do one of those 'Eat, Pray, Love' things. Ugh, no. I don't want to pray. Forget it. I'll just die alone." On Sept. 30, a British hit, "Call the Midwife," about young nurses in 1950s London, hops the pond. The six-episode miniseries focuses on one young nurse, Jenny Lee, as she begins work as a midwife along with an order of nuns. Premiering Oct. 16, "Emily Owens M.D." follows the life of a recovering high school nerd and newly minted doctor eager to put her student years behind her. Emily takes a position as a first-year intern at Denver Memorial Hospital — only to find out that her med-school crush and high school nemesis also work there.
Sex is sometimes an unexpected casualty of medical treatment. Patients, especially older adults recovering from heart attack or surgery, may cool their passion even when they don't have to. AARP the Magazine offers guidelines for when to resume amorous activities. For stable heart patients, sex can be reintroduced in as little as seven to 10 days, around the same time they're able to complete other physical challenges, such as climbing stairs, without becoming breathless. Patients recovering from hysterectomy, hernia and other abdominal or pelvic surgeries should wait six weeks. Hip replacement, spinal surgery and similar procedures require a wait of about three months. Even the most complicated procedures shouldn't require patients to abstain from sex forever. Still in doubt? "Be sure to ask about sex if your doc doesn't bring it up," advises the magazine.

Here's how to increase your chances:
Contact your insurer immediately.
If you don't know the company's phone number, contact your state insurance department. The Insurance Information Institute, a trade group for insurers, has companies' contact information on its website at www.iii.org.
Proof of loss usually should be submitted within 60 days after an adjuster has inspected the property. When filing your claim, check with the insurance company to see if you need to use a specific form.
Provide photos and other records to document the property.
If this information is not available, give a detailed description of the property.
If you can't remember what you own, "Sit down and draw a map of your house," advises Julie Rochman, senior vice president of the American Insurance Association. "Mentally go through it."
Ask whether insurance pays for living expenses.
If your homeowner's policy insures against property damage, it could cover hotels, food and telephone bills if the home is uninhabitable. Some insurers may give you an advance if you've been ordered to evacuate the area, even if they can't assess the damage.
Business policies may cover relocation and employee wages if buildings are damaged or evacuation ordered.
Keep good records.
"Anyone you talk to, make a record of when you spoke to them and about what," says Jeanne Salvatore, senior vice president at the institute.
Know what your policy covers.
If you don't, it's easier for insurers to deny claims or restrict reimbursements, says David Steuber, co-chairman of the national insurance recovery practice group at Howrey law firm.
Be careful about signing a waiver saying you have flood damage.
Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood is concerned that policyholders who do so might give up some of their rights because insurance companies typically do not cover flood damage.
If you feel your claim is improperly denied or your reimbursement too low
, ask the company to point out the policy language that is the basis for denying the claim.
A policy might contain a hurricane deductible or a payment limit on replacement costs. "Since Hurricane Andrew, many insurance companies have slipped new restrictions into their policies," says Joanne Doroshow, executive director at the Center for Justice & Democracy.
If you have a complaint, call your state insurance department.
The Center for Justice & Democracy is also tracking complaints through its hotline at 888-450-5545.

|Performance of automated scoring of ER, PR, HER2, CK5/6 and EGFR in breast cancer tissue microarrays in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium.

|Breast cancer risk factors and clinical outcomes vary by tumour marker expression. However, individual studies often lack the power required to assess these relationships, and large-scale analyses are limited by the need for high throughput, standardized scoring methods. To address these limitations, we assessed whether automated image analysis of immunohistochemically stained tissue microarrays can permit rapid, standardized scoring of tumour markers from multiple studies. Tissue microarray sections prepared in nine studies containing 20 263 cores from 8267 breast cancers stained for two nuclear (oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor), two membranous (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 and epidermal growth factor receptor) and one cytoplasmic (cytokeratin 5/6) marker were scanned as digital images. Automated algorithms were used to score markers in tumour cells using the Ariol system. We compared automated scores against visual reads, and their associations with breast cancer survival. Approximately 65-70% of tissue microarray cores were satisfactory for scoring. Among satisfactory cores, agreement between dichotomous automated and visual scores was highest for oestrogen receptor (Kappa = 0.76), followed by human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Kappa = 0.69) and progesterone receptor (Kappa = 0.67). Automated quantitative scores for these markers were associated with hazard ratios for breast cancer mortality in a dose-response manner. Considering visual scores of epidermal growth factor receptor or cytokeratin 5/6 as the reference, automated scoring achieved excellent negative predictive value (96-98%), but yielded many false positives (positive predictive value = 30-32%). For all markers, we observed substantial heterogeneity in automated scoring performance across tissue microarrays. Automated analysis is a potentially useful tool for large-scale, quantitative scoring of immunohistochemically stained tissue microarrays available in consortia. However, continued optimization, rigorous marker-specific quality control measures and standardization of tissue microarray designs, staining and scoring protocols is needed to enhance results.

Lymphocyte subsets in hemophilic patients with hepatitis C virus infection with or without human immunodeficiency virus co-infection: a nested cross-sectional study
1 Viral Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, Rockville, MD; USA
2 SAIC Frederick, Inc., Frederick, MD, USA
3 Other collaborators and institutions of the Multicenter Hemophilia Cohort Study are in the Appendix
BMC Blood Disorders 2005, 5:2 doi:10.1186/1471-2326-5-2Published: 18 January 2005
With chronic infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA can be detected in B cells and associated with B-cell disorders, but these are not well defined.
The relationship between HCV infection and lymphocyte subpopulations was evaluated rigorously in 120 asymptomatic hemophilic patients, randomly selected from a prospective cohort study. CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD19+ B cells, and CD56+ NK cells were quantified by flow cytometry using cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 24 hemophilic patients in each of five age-matched groups [uninfected; chronic HCV with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); and cleared HCV with or without HIV].
As expected, patients with HIV had significantly reduced CD4+ and increased CD8+ T cells. Irrespective of HIV, patients with chronic HCV infection had approximately 25% fewer CD19+ B cells than those without chronic HCV infection.
These data support the hypothesis that asymptomatic patients with chronic HCV infection have an altered B-lymphocyte population.

AT&T ( T) grew slightly from 26.0% to 26.3%. Sprint/Nextel ( S) is now in third place with 13.1% of the current market up from 11.7%. The big loser among carriers was T-Mobile ( TMUS). Market share dropped from 14.8% in 2012 to 11.3% in the last quarter. Their numbers should improve with the recent addition of the iPhone 5 as well as their attractive, new pricing plans. Both AT&T and Verizon actually saw drops in iPhone sales compared to 2012.

Host provides a map with a wonderful walking tour.
The pictures don't do the view justice. It's just jaw dropping. Pedro is a great host -- he provides a detailed map and a great route to follow to see Porto, and loads of recommendations for things to see and places to eat. The apartment is comfortable, quaint, and in a safe neighborhood. The parking (included) is close by and there's even a washer. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
The apartment is situated in Vila Nova de Gaia, this is a quet aria just across the river and Porto, which is a short walk away. The Metro, bus station are close, also the center of Porto is just 10 minutes to go.
The apartment is very cozy, nice, very clean ,there is inside all that you can need, we was with 2 children, there are even a stroller and a lot of toys for our little-one.
Pedro, the owner is incredible friendly and nice and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible, he picked up us at the airport very late at the night, spent a lot of time with us, made us a little tour on the city ,gave us a lot of information about good restaurants, museums, beaches, interesting places in Porto and near there. Our family recommends definitely this fantastic apartment!
Irina and Alexey
The beautiful apartment takes on a magical view at night over the glistening lights of Porto. It's location is perfect ..close to all the restaurants and hop on hop off bus stop. The best part is the owner Pedro who has great suggestions and tips to make your visit perfect.
Tom and Bev
Me and my newly wed wife had a perfect honeymoon at River place 1. Everything was just as promised on web, and Pedro did his part perfectly. We were in contact few times before our arrival, questions, confirming our schedule and so on. Pedro replied always quickly and everything went really well. Even our worry about very early flight back home and very very early (04:15am) pickup to airport was noproblem at all! Pedro gave very good information about Porto, good places to visit and eat (Santiago F!!) The apartment was perfect for our needs, location and the view to Douro is fantastic. Everything is close, public transport works well and restaurants are close, only few hundred meters, plus or minus 30 meters in altitude ;-) I can and I have recommended River Place to everybody and my friends, as well as city of Porto/Vila Nove de Gaia as a very pleasant place to visit.
We were very happy with our stay here. Pedro was very hospitable and always on time, going out of his way to make our stay pleasant. The apartment is clean, plenty big and has a fabulous view.
Obrigda Pedro!
The apartment enjoys a prime location opposite the River Douro. Located in Ribeira de Gaia, is a few minutes walk from the Port Wine Cellars and the historic center of Porto. About 2 minutes walk from the apartment are many restaurants with typical regional food, cafes, bars,and main shopping streets. If you want to visit the city of Oporto, just need to cross the bridge D. Louis, and into the heart of Oporto where you can enjoy unique features of the historic center of Porto (without transport) .)
One of the oldest cities in Europe, Porto has enjoyed World Heritage classification since 1996. Perched on the banks of river Douro, one of its six bridges was designed by Gustave Eiffel, whose signature touch is immediately recognised.
Along these very banks, visit the iconic cellars and discover more than 30 Port wine labels, most of which are world-famous.
Within the town of Porto itself, lovely vast panels of Portuguese tiles, in all number of intricate designs and colours, can be admired in Carmo Church, Almas Chapel, the interior of Sao Bento station and indeed along many of its rustic streets. The town is equally rich in historic monuments and outstanding examples of Baroque architecture, such as Sao Francisco, the Santa Clara churches, town hall.
Porto - Comtemporary architecture: In more recent years, Porto has carved an enviable reputation for its contemporary architecture, two laureate Pritzker prize Siza Vieira (1992) and Souto Moura (2011) including modern designs such as the Serralves Comtemporary Art Museum and House of Music, both of which host permanent exhibitions and shows.

Kris Lees is a laid-back character at the best of times and nothing has changed even though Lucia Valentina is Caulfield Cup favourite heading into her first Melbourne run.
He is quick to point out the four-year-old mare is still lightly raced and he is still learning about her. But on Saturday she faces the cream of the spring contenders in the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington, including defending champion Happy Trails, Melbourne Cup favourite The Offer and star of the autumn Silent Achiever.
"She is probably my best chance in a major like a Cox Plate or one of the cups, but pressure is only what you make of it," said Lees, who prepared Samantha Miss to run third in a Cox Plate.
"If she is good enough, she will win it. We are going to learn a lot more about her over the next few weeks and find out if she is the real deal. This is very stiffest test against these better horses on Saturday but she is getting out towards her best trip."
Lucia Valentina won the Vinery Stud Stakes in the autumn and then could not wind in Rising Romance when third in the Australian Oaks. Her spring campaign started with a stunning display to win the Tramway Stakes first-up before a solid effort when sixth in the George Main Stakes.
Lees has been able to secure Kerrin McEvoy, who can ride at the 51 kilograms Lucia Valentina has in the Caulfield Cup, for the preparation as he attempts to have everything in place.
"In big races you need a lot of luck and things to go right," Lee said. "We are trying to control what we can and get her there in good order. Kerrin was part of that and we are happy to have him on the team."
There are questions about Lucia Valentina's ability to stay and whether she is favoured by soft ground.
"She has done it on wet track but I would say she's not just a wet-tracker because she handled the firmer ground in the Oaks," Lees said. "I think on a wet track it takes a couple of the others out of the equation.
"As for her best trip, I think if you look at the Oaks, she made long, sustained run and was very strong at the end, so I'm not too worried about that. Like I said, we are going to learn a lot about her in the next couple of weeks but I would think a firm track is not going to worry her."
Lees will have another of his spring horses run in the Craven Plate in import Slow Pace. He steps up to 2000 metres second-up after resuming in the Cameron Handicap on his home track of Newcastle.
"The other option was to go to the Epsom but he is not a miler," Lees said. "His best form overseas was at 2400m, so I wanted to get him to 2000m. He might just be a run short but I think he will better suited at that trip than in a mile.
"We are looking to get him down to Melbourne after for those second-tier races and he is a very nice horse."

what is the mood,tone,of the scarlet ibis
The tone of the scarlet ibis was very gloomy in my opinion. Because there seems that if the arthour was trying to make a positive statement than he would change it to be a neagative opinion on the situation. Also I felt that the mood of the story was gloomy because basically the mood sets the tone in my opinion. which is true because once the mood of the story was set than you could feel the arthour's tone throughout the hole story. Thirdly I felt that the story was descent and that the story was displaying all of the things that I was looking for such as the tone which was given right after you found the mood which was very easy for the reader to find and it seemed as if it was realistic in away because of the current events. Lastly, my over all thoughts were that the story could of had been a little more than what it was such as having a bettter ending.

If you look at Tony Romo's statistics, you might wonder why the Cowboys aren't Super Bowl contenders every year. To cop a phrase from Bill Belichick, sometimes "stats are for losers." And the Cowboys will be losers for as long as Romo is under center. The problem with the Cowboys' quarterback is that you have no idea who you're getting from game to game or quarter to quarter. That type of inconsistency is a disaster in waiting come playoff time. Beyond all else in today's pass-heavy league, you need to know what you're getting out of your quarterback from week to week, especially if you depend on the pass as heavily as Dallas does. Romo's sideline demeanor expresses it best. Sometimes you're getting the goofy, smiling Romo that probably just threw a touchdown pass, and other times you're getting the sullen, head-down Romo that probably just fumbled a snap or threw a game-clinching interception. At first glace when you take a peek at Romo's career stat line, you see six consecutive seasons with a quarterback rating over 90, completion percentages in the mid-60s and a career 8.0 yards per attempt. Those are elite numbers, so why can't Romo succeed? It all comes down to decision making and lack of clutch play. Sunday's game against the Giants is a perfect example. Romo nearly took the Cowboys out of the game before it even started by throwing three interceptions in the first 16 minutes of play. Of course, Romo then turned into a completely different quarterback for the next 2 1/2 quarters, displaying everything that makes him so appealing to head coach Jason Garrett and owner/general manager Jerry Jones. But, when the game was on the line, the bad Romo reared its ugly head again and threw an interception when the Cowboys needed clutch play most late in the fourth quarter. Dallas' defense nearly bailed Romo out, giving him one more shot at a win, but two throws just too deep and one throw just too shallow negated any chance at a victory for America's team. The Cowboys have never put true pressure on their supposed franchise quarterback. They had the ancient Brad Johnson and Jon Kitna as his backups for years, then turned to Kyle Orton -- who has proved not to be a viable starter in the NFL -- this season. They also have Stephen McGee, but a mid-round developmental quarterback isn't going to put true pressure on Romo. The Cowboys need to follow in their division-rival Redskins' footsteps and draft a future-franchise quarterback. Sure, Robert Griffin III doesn't come along every year -- or possibly ever -- but there are first and second round QBs every year that the Cowboys could develop to start over Romo. The problem with replacing Romo is that he gets the Cowboys just close enough to having "successful" seasons, and that keeps fans coming back. To try to develop a young quarterback means the risk of throwing around words like "rebuilding." And fans don't like rebuilding. That of course, is the problem with having an owner/general manager like Jones. Personnel decisions come with pocketbook in mind, just as much as playbook. If the Cowboys want to get over being "just good enough," they'll need to take a risk on a young QB that won't turn into, well, Tony Romo in the fourth quarter.

At Cafe Campesino, we are proud that a portion of the proceeds from every pound of School Grounds sold will go directly to Furlow Charter School. And we want to offer congratulations to all the students who participated in the art contest with special thanks to FCS scholar Adaja Brown for creating the beautiful artwork for the label that adorns this fair trade, organic coffee blend.
The School Grounds Blend, designed for our friends at Furlow Charter School here in our hometown of Americus, GA, is a complex and delightful coffee, created by combining beans from Café Campesino's producer partners in San Martin de Pangoa, Peru (CAC Pangoa) and Sidamo, Ethiopia (SCFCU). It carries distinct aromas of caramel and brown sugar – sweet and warm to get you ready for a scholarly day (or any day, for that matter).
The first sips of School Grounds are like a semi-sweet baker's chocolate, full of flavor, mellowing out into a smooth fruitiness (think raspberries and lime) and finishing with a toasted nut aftertaste. This Viennese roast is a crowd pleaser, not too light and not too dark. This lively coffee retains some of the fruity notes and bright acidity characteristic of Ethiopian coffee, but mellowed perfectly by the chocolatey tones and velvety body of the Peruvian coffee. This coffee is a delight by itself, or with cream.
To purchase some coffee locally, please contact Furlow Charter School at (229) 931-8667 or visit Cafe Campesino's downtown Americus coffee shop located at 134 W Lamar St.
Suggested Brewing Method:
Did you know you can trace our current coffee lots to follow the path of our coffee beans from crop to cup? In fact, you can find all of our coffee contracts at fairtradeproof.org. We take pride in knowing exactly where our coffee comes from and sharing that information with our customers. We believe that transparency makes fairness possible, because it makes hiding the truth impossible.
Cafe Campesino is proud to be one of the founding members of Cooperative Coffees, a cooperative of independent roasters throughout the US and Canada who are committed to fair trade as a long-term partnership between farmers and roasters. For us, paying a fair price is just the beginning of this relationship. Our trade model includes pre-financing, sharing information, and working together to create higher quality coffee and build sustainable trade relationships for the benefit of farmers and their exporting cooperatives, families, and communities.
