An Oscar-Worthy Shout-Out for Gumbo and Pieby Amy Reiter in News, March 3rd, 2014
And the award for the Best Food Moment of this year's Oscars goes to …
No, not Academy Awards host Ellen DeGeneres' pizza delivery to the stars, funny (and real) though it was, but rather to Best Actor winner Matthew McConaughey's mid-acceptance speech shout-out to his late father, who he said was looking down proudly from above surrounded by his favorite foods: "a big pot of gumbo," "a lemon meringue pie" and "a cold can of Miller Lite."
"And he's dancing right now," the Dallas Buyers Club star said, breaking into a little dad shuffle.
You can watch the father-food tribute by clicking play on this video (find it around 2:04), then set to creating your own McConaughey-inspired piece of heaven by cooking up some gumbo (perhaps a Shrimp Gumbo, a Louisiana Seafood Gumbo, a Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo or Food Network Magazine's Vegetable Gumbo (pictured above) — or one you can make in your slow cooker) and lemon meringue pie (Alton Brown's recipe is a classic, and Trisha Yearwood's is so simple it's almost magic).
Feel free to replace Matthew's dad's beer of choice with a beer-focused cocktail — or not.
What foods constitute heaven for you? Tell FN Dish in the comments below.

BWW Recap: SYTYCD Eliminates Four, Announces All-Stars! Full Results & Pictures!
by Matt Tamanini - July 31, 2014
I was all kinds of conflicted coming into tonight's 'So You Think You Can Dance.' At the end of the episode, we were going to have to lose four dancers to get to the Top-10. Now, I am all for getting straight to the Top-10 dancers partnering with the All-Stars, but the prospect of dropping four was a little scary. At this point in the season, there were still a number of really talented individuals that haven't seemed to catch on yet, and I was afraid that with four cuts that someone really I really liked was going to go home tonight, without ever getting a chance to show his or her stuff. Unfortunately, I was right. So much of this show comes down to what genres and choreographers you get when, and two of the dancers eliminated tonight I think have gotten tough draws during the live shows. (more...)

EXCLUSIVE: Justified co-star Natalie Zea has signed a new deal to continue on the acclaimed FX drama series, which has been renewed for a third season. Additionally, she has been tapped for a recurring role on the Showtime comedy series Californication. Zea was a guest star in the pilot for Justified, playing the ex-wife of Timothy Olyphant's US Marshall Givens. She was upped to regular right after the pilot with a two-year deal, which was up at the end of the show's second season, which wrapped last month. In addition to her co-starring role on Justified and her upcoming arc on Californication — where she will play a new love interest for star David Duchovny — Zea, repped by UTA and manager Robert Semon, guest starred in the pilot for J.J. Abrams/Jonah Nolan's upcoming CBS series Person of Interest. He recent credits also include an arc on HBO's Hung and a role in the feature comedy The Other Guys.
Natalie Zea Closes Deal To Continue On 'Justified', Books Arc On 'Californication'
30 Comments
Love her.
Yes, she's great on Justified. She should be good on Californication, too.
So sexy.
She was great in Hung. One of the most imaginative storylines in recent memory.
I've been a fan of hers since she was on Passions and I'm so glad that she's been so successful since then. Can never have enough of her on my screen.
Will she be naked? God, I hope this means she'll be naked.
lol…was thinking the same thing!!
Shes pretty much naked in every other thing shes ever done, so now, on Californication, where the show is based on Duchovnys fucking around, shes BOUND to be nakeder than a jaybird! AND hopefully bound, also, if you get my drift!
Glad she worked out a deal with Justified.
She is fantastic in everything she does. The more of her the better.
She is sooooooooooooooooooo hot
They should have dropped the awful Natalie Zea and given Joelle Carter more to do. I'm not sure if it's the actress or the character she plays that I hate, but it's always a letdown when she appears onscreen.
They both are great. Get over it.
Natalie Zea is a gifted character actress ( she can easily do comedy & drama ) , and she seems to keep getting better with every role . When I saw her naughty and wicked performance in " Dirty Sexy Money ", I became a huge fan.
ugh, that means more winona. maybe they can kill the character off and save the show from ruin.
Natalie Zea is a horrible actress and her character is even worse. I wonder if the rumors about her and Timothy Olyphant are true and that's why her role was increased last season? On all the Justified message boards, her character is despised by most fans and her coming back won't be popular with the majority of the show's fans.
Don't be a jerk. She's a good actress and has a long term boyfriend who she is super close to.
Eh, I was hoping she'd go the way of Rachel Nichols on Criminal Minds. Part of it is what she's been given—the found money arc would have been tough for anyone to sell—but in general I think the the show is more interesting when Joelle Carter is the main romantic interest.
The only reason people often say Justified season 2 was "near-perfect" is because of her story arc. I really hope they reevaluate her character and make her more than just the nagging girlfriend that wants Raylan to quit his job.
So very much this. Her character dragged the show down in S2.
I'll be interested to see how she works out on Californication – now I'll be able to see if it's the character of Winona or the actress herself I don't like. Gotta be honest though, I'd have preferred a different actress be cast as a new 'love interest' for Hank.
Zea is so damn attractive, it almost gets in the way of some serious acting chops. The more we see of her, the better.
She's a lovely actress, and I wish her well. But having said that, she is the only character on Justified that seems to drag the show down, and her storyline arc this season was a huge problem in an otherwise amazing year.
A woman this beautiful who can also do comedy (she can) should have a feature career.
I'm happy she'll be back on Justified. Natalie Zea's Winona brings out the personnal side of Raylan and I am looking forward to seeing what the writers will do with them next season.
I agree they should have dropped her. She is the downer of the show is not talented whatsoever. Everytime she comes on the screen I fast forward because I can't stand her, the storyline and Raylan with her. She is a nagging bitch and Natalie Zea needs to go back to daytime where she started on Passions. God she sucks!
She held out knowing that she could get alot of money because Timothy Olyphant is sleeping with her and could make his life pretty messy right now even though he is only wife his wife for the kids sake. He is philanderer and she is the actress know in hollywood that sleeps with the main characters to get a job. She has no talent and that is another reason why Timothy Olyphant is pushing her in every interview he has. Look at the way the stay away from each other and how awkward they are together when the entire group is together. Nice that the show is being turned into a soap opera because he is f*cking his leading lady
Personal side? He is a wimp! He has no spine and no damn balls. She walks all over him. No woman is worth that kind of humilation. it goes the opposite way too. Helen humanized him not Winona!
Well I know I'm happy about this news. I love Raylan and Winona and can't wait to see what the writers do with them (and everyone else) in season 3.
Natalie's PR team is earning their keep based on the comments here..
I think is a great addition.

Instant Expert: The Black Keys
You've seen them at parties, lurking in the corner, waiting to engage in battle disguised as conversation. They're indie rock know-it-alls, and no matter what band or musician you mention, they've got an opinion — strong and almost certainly negative — ready to ram down your throat. With Instant Expert, we offer preparation for these very situations. Each Thursday, in advance of your weekend carousing, we pick an artist and provide a quickie career overview, highlighting both prevailing critical opinions and the inevitable contrarian counterarguments. Even if you're completely unfamiliar with the music, you'll be able to bluff your way through and defend your indie cred. This week: the Black Keys.
The Gist
Singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney first got together to jam on some of Auerbach's songs in Carney's basement in Akron. But the Black Keys weren't supposed to be a duo. In fact, Carney wasn't even supposed to play. But the other musicians never showed up, so the pair were stuck with each other. Over the past dozen years, the Black Keys have gone from scrappy garage-rock duo with a thing for obscure blues music to Grammy-winning saviors of rock 'n' roll. Their seven albums reflect this growth, with the low-fi recording of their 2002 debut giving way to their most recent record, 2011's 'El Camino,' which was nominated for a Grammy as Album of the Year.
Critical Consensus
The Black Keys got serious on their sixth album, 2010's 'Brothers.' They were on a bigger label, they were working with hotshot producer Danger Mouse and they had a batch of new songs that finally reconciled their garage-rock past with something more forward looking. The bluesy stomps and swampy guitar riffs that echo throughout 'Brothers' launched dozens of copycat bands and enough soundalikes in TV commercials to keep the Keys' lawyers in business for the next decade.
Contrarian Counterargument
By 2004's 'Rubber Factory,' their third album, the Black Keys had pretty much nailed their bluesy garage low-fi sound. It all comes together here, with leaner songs and rougher performances. Bonus points: It was actually recorded in an old factory that used to make tires.
The duo's 2002 debut 'The Big Come Up' was recorded in the drummer's basement for less money than a week's worth of ramen and beer. And it sounds like it. But it's pure scuzzy blues-rock bliss.
Whatever You Do, Don't Say This
If I wanted to hear white guys rip off old black blues musicians, I'd listen to Led Zeppelin.

The debate over giving Tampa International Airport CEO Joe Lopano more money is still unresolved — and still contentious.
The airport's governing board was scheduled to discuss a bonus for Lopano at a workshop Thursday. But Chairman Steven Burton announced that he and Lopano agreed not to consider it until January, when he has finished his first year in the job.
Mayor Bob Buckhorn, however, says that's too soon. He wants to wait until a year from now when the board gives Lopano his second performance review.
Lopano's contract gives him a $250,000 annual salary, a $49,000 pension contribution and a $6,000 car allowance. He also receives a $3,000 monthly housing allowance through Dec. 31.

Who knows.
Still plenty of things going on on Azeroth, and others happening beyond
Who knows.
Still plenty of things going on on Azeroth, and others happening beyond
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
Most people expect a Burning Legion expansion, or Azshara/N'zoth. If I had to predict, I'd say the Burning Legion would be held off until a later point. There are still threats on Azeroth that need attention before we fly into space. I would assume the Emerald Dream would be a Molten Front/Isle of Thunder situation WITH the Azshara expansion - a quest zone and then a patch raid. It doesn't have enough people or buildings to be a functional complete world for an expansion, plus N'zoth is in control of the Nightmare there. It would tie in well.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they were to go to several other broken/corrupted worlds that the Legion control over the course of a few expansions. There are places like Argus (where people assume Sargeras made the Legion's main base) or Xoroth (the alleged home world of the Nathrezim). There is also the remains (if there are any) of K'aresh, the Ethereal home world. The last would tie in well if they made a neutral Ethereal race, similar to the Pandaren, run by a cartel for each faction. They could always add new worlds, as well.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if we revisited Azjol-Nerub, or another hidden Aqir-descended empire. Azjol-Nerub was said to have deeper levels than even Ahn'kahet, and there could be quite a few possibilities down there dealing with Old Gods, cultists, and perhaps even remnants of the Tol'vir that were stationed there. There has been a popular thread here with many ideas about it. However, if Blizzard did this, they would have to be careful to not make the lore too repetitive since we've already seen quite a bit of the Old Gods, the cultists, and their forces. It would be an interesting expansion, however, and could even have an Aqir-like playable race, or even neutral Vrykul as a playable race.
Personally, I wouldn't mind whatever comes next as long as they have new races or classes I'd enjoy playing. After the announcement of MoP, I resigned myself to be ready for anything in the next expansion. But, I doubt they'd put off Azshara and N'Zoth's storylines for too long.
expect subs to drop by 2 million
If it won't be something expected (like Emerald Dream, Burning Legion, Azshara or Chromatus expansion), people will be disappointed. Especially if it will be something like "Return of the Mogu".
"Mists of Pandaria" (ignoring all the unseriousness of expansion) feels like soap-opera move. It isn't really connected to the story (which on it's own has like 3-4 expansions to work on outside of Pandarens) and thus it makes it feeling quite dull and, like in those soap-operas, just artificially extending soap opera by events, which have minimum (if not zero) connection to main storylines.
Pandaria may have this light-hearted "feel" and look to it, but it does play with serious themes
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
The greatest ever thread on MMO-Champion
I work a lot, fuck my life.
I'll be happy with more burning legion action, I won't quit if it isn't but I will be a little disapointed.
I have to admit I thought of that myself - but seeing that Pandaria was already a pretty unexpected place and style, I'm MORE than certain that they (Blizz) already planned on doing a balance and planning something familiar with next expansion.
...unless they have developed a really REALLY big ego, that is. >_<
I ask this because you have to remember, there's a VERY good chance that if we get Demons, Burning Legion and Kil'Jaeden next expansion - it's going to have LFR friendly versions, spamfest heroics and lots of daily quests and what-not. In short - today's style gameplay.
Demons does not mean a return to Burning Crusade GAMEPLAY.
---------- Post added 2013-05-12 at 04:22 AM ----------
I mean, the Naga/Nightelves/Highelves alone have had a TON more lore in them than the Pandaren had by the time Cata came out. (hell, even by Vanilla!). Only thing we had about Pandaria back then was one beer-loving panda who helped out the Horde.
I mean, the second closest is the Lich King and his army... and that's been dealt with (for now).
Only other thing that's known are the Old Gods (overplayed since Wrath) and possibly the Titans (even if they do become a threat, we really don't know squat about them.)
Naga are Azshara - who's a puppet for an Old God
Same goes with the guy running the Emerald Nightmare (and that story's been 98% dealt with in a novel).
Not much else is left at this point really in terms of villains... Unless the Furbolg and Murlocks enter an unholy and akward alliance. :P
We're running out of places on Azeroth that could be new. That means revamping again a la Cata or going elsewhere, whether its another plane, planet, or the moon.
Personally speaking fighting the Titans would be a fun expansion although a return of the Titans would likely be a Cataclysm 2 Electric Boogaloo.
For goign somewhere else: Perhaps Wrathion leads the factions to a Burning Legion held world/stronghold for a preemptive strike?
Is the Emerald Dream not essentially just a copy of azeroth?
I'm not entirely sure but I thought I read that it was essentially just an uncorrupted "back up" copy of azeroth or some shit like that, I don't doubt Blizzard's creative capability but wouldn't it be awfully similar to the azeroth we know... just more... green?

MONTREAL – Much commentary about the American economy nowadays leaves the impression that economists should fix its problems. But Washington is teeming with smart economists, and the problems remain.
An economy is like a cloud: only when inside does one realize how diffuse it is – and that what matters are the particles of vapor that it comprises.
Likewise, an economy is an accumulation of transactions involving goods and services, mostly carried out by business enterprises. Their behaviors are what matters, and they cannot be adequately perceived from the distant perspective of economic models and statistics, but only on the ground – where an economy is built, where it breaks, and where it must be fixed.
On the ground, there are two kinds of enterprises: those that rely on exploration, and those that rely on exploitation. Every economy has both, but a healthy one favors the explorers. This fosters the sense of enterprise that made the United States such an economic powerhouse. Unfortunately, the American economy now favors the exploiters.

Bowen Leads Qualifying At IHRA Summer Nationals At Cordova Dragway Park
Posted by: newsla on Jul 19, 2014 - 04:01 PM
Bowen Leads Qualifying At IHRA Summer Nationals At Cordova Dragway Park
It was billed as one of the biggest nostalgia Nitro Funny Car races ever held. And so far, it is living up to all the hype.
With one of the most decorated nostalgia Nitro Funny Car fields ever assembled on the property, it was IHRA newcomer and Grand Blanc, Michigan native Shawn Bowen making the first move, propelling the "Violator" 1977 Pontiac Firebird Nitro Funny Car to the top of the charts at the IHRA Summer Nationals at Cordova Dragway Park.
Cary Goforth (Pro Stock), Mike Scott (Nitro Harley), Mike Hilsabeck (Nitro Altered) and Marisha Falk (Jet Dragster) also topped qualifying in their respective classes Friday in Cordova.
Bowen put down a stout lap in the first round of qualifying Friday night, rocketing to the top of the charts with a 5.819-second pass at 251.02 miles per hour to put the 2013 DRO champion in the No. 1 position entering eliminations on Saturday. Current IHRA points leader and four-time IHRA national event winner Jason Rupert qualified second in the Bays and Rupert "Black Plague" '69 Camaro with a 5.853 at 243.63 mph.
Mark Sanders, in the "Mr. Explosive" '69 Mustang, was third with a 5.880 at 244.25, while Paul Romine and John Hale rounded out the top five. Former IHRA Top Fuel world champion Bruce Litton snuck into the field in his final qualifying attempt to place sixth on the ladder, joining 2010 IHRA Funny Car champion Steve Nichols and Mike McIntire Jr. as the final drivers in the eight-car field.
Five drivers failed to make the field, including IHRA regular Tim Boychuk and heavy-hitter Marc White.
Cary Goforth, from Holdenville, Oklahoma, paced IHRA's Mountain Motor Pro Stock class on Friday, driving the Dean's Casing Service 2013 Chevrolet Camaro to the top spot on the ladder with a 6.254-second pass at 222.91 mph. Two-time IHRA Pro Stock champion Pete Berner qualified second with a 6.338 at 220.98 and Dean Goforth was third with a 6.357 at 218.72.
In Nitro Harley, Canadian Mike Scott led the way with a 6.617-second pass at 180.24 mph. Alvin Kobernusz, from nearby Manly, Iowa, was second with a 7.103 at 187.50 and Rocky Jackson was third.
Rounding out the nitro categories was Nitro Altered as Arizona native Mike Hilsabeck drove the aptly named "Arizona Thunder" to the top spot with a 6.738 at 157.61. Troy Martin was second with a 6.813 at 185.69 and Kyle Hough was third.
Finally, Marisha Falk was quickest in IHRA's Jet Dragster category with a 5.791-second pass at 276.41 mph, just edging Elaine Larsen and her 5.816 at 275.45.
The IHRA Summer Nationals at Cordova Dragway Park will continue on Saturday with final eliminations for all professional classes with the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series and first day action of the Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour presented by AMSOIL.

A MOTION to change the way council meetings are conducted was denied by Newport council, despite opposition councillors claiming democracy was "dying" in the city.
The motion proposed that "questions to the Leader of the Council, cabinet members and chairs should not be restricted to questions written in advance and should return to a process that allows these members to be asked questions without notice."
Moving the motion on Tuesday, Cllr David Fouweather asked the council to "return to a democratic system that works."
But Cllr Ray Truman said: "The council is more open now than it's ever been."
Leader of the council, Bob Bright also opposed and said: "The Welsh Assembly Government use the same system. It's nonsense and you know it."
Cllr Fouweather claimed the assembly are less rigid on the supplementary questions than Newport council.
Cllr Paul Hannon spoke against the motion and said it was "way out of date". He referred to speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow's criticisms of Prime Minister's questions and said: "That is actually what you are proposing we step back to today."
Cllr Hannon went on to say he would like to see the public given the opportunity to come to council and put questions to the councillors.
"That is how you open the doors to democracy," he said.
But Cllr David Williams, who seconded the motion, said: "It will improve democracy and certainly improve knowledge and education."
Cllr Matthew Evans agreed and said: "We have less scrutiny. This is an opportunity for back benchers from across parties to see how their members perform in council. This is the opportunity for you to shine, for you to perform.
"The system doesn't work so why not have the opportunity to ask a proper supplementary question."
Cllr Debbie Wilcox said under the current system, there was less time wasting. She said: "It's much more focused and professional."
But addressing back benchers, Cllr Fouweather said: "You must want an opportunity to test your executives - to ask the questions that matter to get the answers that count to your residents."
Later in the meeting, Chair of the council Mayor Cliff Suller intervened to stop councillors putting questions to Bob Bright on the proposed Improvement Plan, claiming they were there to debate the matter, saying it was "not a question and answer session." The plan was subsequently passed with no objections and no debate.
Cllr Fouweather said: "We tried to ask questions on it and the mayor closed us down.
"Democracy in Newport is dying."

Is this her worst new look ever? I am thinking, of course, of Madonna's appearance in a bad black wig, fishnets and Converse boots, at a Kabbalah party in New York. The London Evening Standard asks whether she went in costume as Britney Spears - but I think it's unkind to Britney. She looks like every schoolboy's worst nightmare.
Which is slightly better than how Jesus (can we dispense with his surname now?) looked. Madge's boyfriend went - a bit culturally sensitive this, what with Heath Ledger still being missed - as a really bad version of Batman's Joker. Only it looked as though Madge might have done his makeup without putting her reading glasses on.

text: During the course of this call, we will make forward-looking statements involving our plans, expectations, estimates and beliefs related to future events. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that we discussed. We included a description of these risks and uncertainties in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our 2011 [ph] Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q for the -- filed for the period ended December 31, 2011. During the call, we will refer to non-GAAP financial measures. We provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the appendix to the slide presentation, which is available on our website.Jim is going to begin with a commentary on the performance of our businesses during the quarter. And then I will discuss the status of our integration, as well as non-operating items in our financial statements. After our prepared comments, Jim and I will be available for questions. Jim? James A. Rubright Thanks, Steve. Good morning. Our adjusted earnings of $0.97 per share reflected continued excellent performance in our Consumer segment. That was more than offset by the lower earnings in our Corrugated segment caused by the continued price weakness in domestic box and export containerboard markets and the seasonal demand and pricing bottoms we believe we experienced in January and February. The weak market conditions we faced in the maintenance downtime we took in the quarter had the greatest impact on our Corrugated segment, where sequential quarter adjusted earnings were down $0.31 per share, and that more than offset the $0.10 per share in other earnings improvements. While the improvements in the market conditions in March and April have been modest to okay, we performed much better in March than we did in January and February. Quarter's actual earnings improvement over our pre-announcement resulted from better performance during the month of March than we estimated that we pre-announced expected quarterly results. But March can be a very good and a picky month than for us it was this year.

Police have defended the decision not to prosecute a father for attacking the football manager who dropped his son from an Abbots Langley team.
Dean Kingshott, 39, was punched, head-butted and beaten with a corner flag in an incident at Evergreen Football Club on South Way on Saturday September 15.
His attacker, a 40-year-old man from Abbots Langley, left the scene but was arrested on Tuesday (September 18) and issued with a police caution for assault and causing ABH.
Mr Kingshott, a former Watford, Spurs and Barnet youth team player of Watford Fields branded the punishment 'ridiculous'.
Commenters on the Watford Observer website agreed with his sentiments with dozens questioning why no further action was taken.
A Hertfordshire Constabulary spokesman said: "The decision to give a caution is not taken lightly and many factors have to be taken into account in the process, such as the nature of the offence, the offender's previous convictions and their admission to the offence.
"In this case the use of a caution was considered to be the most appropriate resolution.
"He fully admitted the offence, was sorry for his behaviour and is of previous good character.
"However, the offender was officially warned about his behaviour and the caution will remain on his police record and will influence any future police decision to prosecute or not, should that person come to the notice of the police again."

Globalisation and the Middle Class
Nov 14, 2012 06:00 PM
End: Nov 14, 2012 07:30 PM

- Dr Virginia Mantouvalou (UCL)
About this event: The most important question for social policy today is: Can the United States participate in global trade while maintaining a robust middle class? Or does expanded global trade necessarily mean doom for the U.S. middle class and others in advanced industrial nations? This question might have sounded provocative, incendiary, or just plain silly a decade ago, but it can no longer be ignored. Several different approaches have been advocated to preserve the living standards of the middle class in advanced countries in the face of expanded global trade. This talk examined three clusters of policies that are the most promising, policies to (1) encourage a race to the top that can counterbalance a race to the bottom; (2) promote the creation of local and regional agglomeration economies that will act as counterweights to a race to the bottom, and (3) foster firm-level innovation and develop the skills and human capital of the local population. It concluded that we adopt policies that braid these three together in order to preserve the U.S. middle class.

At the 2012 Colorado Alliance for Continuing Medical Education (CACME) annual meeting, the Office of Professional Education at National Jewish Health was presented with the 2012 Best Practice in Collaboration Award for their CME program titled Making the Right Diagnosis: The Need for Spirometry. The award recognizes the program's innovative quality, creativity, and the significance of stakeholder collaboration within the continuing medical education profession.
National Jewish Health, the National Medical Association (NMA), the nation's oldest and largest organization representing African American physicians and health professionals in the United States, and the COPD Foundation, a non-profit patient advocacy and education group, jointly developed the program for the NMA's member physicians.
The concept for the program originated in 2010 when Barry Make, MD and Professional Education collaborated with Michael Foggs, MD, a physician leader at the NMA, to produce an educational activity on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The collaboration, along with Dr. Make's leadership, and NJH's reputation as the nation's #1 respiratory hospital, led to a strong partnership with the NMA's leadership team. A review of outcomes from the activity identified gaps in spirometry utilization in the practices of the NMA's member physicians. Based on those practice gaps, Making the Right Diagnosis: The Need for Spirometry was developed and presented at the 2011 NMA Annual Convention & Scientific Assembly in Washington, DC.
Professional Education immediately saw the opportunity for further collaboration on this initiative, and involved the COPD Foundation, a not-for-profit group that brings needed resources to the COPD community, making the program a unique collaboration between an academic medical center, a national association and a patient advocacy organization. The activity received collaborative funding through educational grants from Merck, Pfizer, and Forest Pharmaceuticals.

Cards like a lot of what they saw against Spuds
If fans just looked at the yardage in Alexandria's game against Moorhead last Friday night, they would probably assume the Cardinals came out with a win.
Alexandria ran for 228 yards and threw for an additional 132. The Cardinals outgained the Spuds by almost 100 yards on the night. The problem was finishing off those drives with touchdowns.
Two turnovers and penalties kept them from putting points on the board a few times. It also helped the Spuds work on a short field on two of their scoring drives on the way to a 28-12 win on opening night.
"I think we got more comfortable as the game went along," head coach Mike Empting said of the offense. "We did some things really well. I'm not satisfied with the outcome, but we put up 360 yards of offense. We just have to finish now. Not turn it over. Not have those penalties and then when we get down in there, be as sharp as we were moving the ball to that point."
Senior quarterback John Vogeler had a big game running the read-option for the Cardinals against Moorhead as he carried the ball 26 times for 176 yards. He threw for an additional 132 yards with a touchdown and an interception on 8-of-20 passing.
Fans can expect him to get a heavy workload again tonight as the Cardinals open the home portion of their schedule against Sartell-St. Stephen. Empting knows Vogeler can score from anywhere on the field, like he did with a 77-yard touchdown run against Moorhead, when he keeps the ball himself. But carrying the ball 26 times does come with a little risk for a player Alexandria can't afford to lose to injury.
"I'm not sure how I feel about it," Empting said. "I think he weathered the game just fine aside from some normal bumps and bruises, and I think John's a smart player. There were some times when he ran with it, got to the open field and he had a choice. He could cut it back into traffic or take it out of bounds and avoid some hits, and he took it out of bounds."
That's why Empting is hesitant to try to limit the carries of one of his most dangerous players.
"This offense, it's all about what is the defense going to make you do," Empting said. Get it out of the quarterback's hands or make the quarterback carry it? If they're going to keep it in John's hands...that 77-yard run, there were two kids who had angles on him and he split them both and ran away. He's fast. He really flashed some speed on that run for sure. Mitch Peck has got the same capability, so I don't know. We have to keep him healthy, that's for sure."
Peck finished with 61 yards on 19 carries against Moorhead and senior tight end Aaron Steidl led the receivers with three catches for 61 yards. Kris Setterstrom made his one catch count as Vogeler connected with him on a 12-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Alexandria's athletes were able to be on display a little bit, but their lack of size also showed up against a strong Spuds team. Moorhead used that strength up front to help Jade Lawrence to 94 yards and a touchdown, while the Spuds did everything they could to establish the running game. Quarterback Tyler Eidsness only threw six times but he made the most of them, completing every pass on his way to 91 yards and a 53-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter.
"We're just not very big up front, minus Aaron Steidl, who's got great size," Empting said. "Our kids are just going to have to learn that they have to play with a very low pad level up front. They pounded at us with that running game, and I thought our kids time and time again answered the bell. I thought they were out there giving it all they had."
That's why Empting was encouraged as the Cardinals get set to welcome in the Sabres tonight. Sartell is a young team that fell 14-0 against St. Cloud Tech in week one.
It's still really early, but both teams know it's an important game on the schedule as they try to avoid falling to 0-2.
"I hate to put too much weight on one game, especially on an early-season game," Empting said. "But I do think it is important for a lot of reasons that we come out and play well and end up on the right side of the scoreboard for this one."

so who makes a good quality out-the-box AR-15?
If I were to buy a new STOCK AR-15 and didn't want to be dissapointed with the quality or craftsmanship or accuracy....what brand/model would you prefer?
How picky are you? How much money do you have to spend? Most of the manufacturers out the make an AR that works.
I'm a lefty, so I went with a Stag Arms left handed 2T (brass ejects from the left rather than the right side). Very pleased with this weapon, so much so, that I bought a second one.
Makes this a tough question to answer because there are so many variables........ :confused:
well, if I went to the Gander Mountain or another gun dealer and bought one off the shelf?
Figure out what your budget is, stick to it, then go out and find something you like that fits that number, fits you (as far as stock, pistol grip, length of pull, weight, doo-dads and doo-hickeys)
Do a little searching on-line and you'll find the manufacturer names that tend to pop often. Usually a little further searching will also tell you the pros-cons, QA issues, etc.
But for the most part, you could walk in to any gun store today, see something you like, lay down the plastic/paper/coins and walk out with a very good AR that will serve you well.
Asking a question like that usually ends up in the Chevy-vs-Ford-vs-Chrysler-vs-all the rest type of debates and choices. You really can't go wrong with most of today's models.
What do you want to do with it?
When I've seen ARs at Gander Mountain, they're usually pretty expensive...like $1400 for a plain vanilla configuration. I'd recommend against that; you can build or buy a better rifle for a lot less.
Do you want to do competition shooting? Do you want a varmint gun? Carbine?
I'd most likely use it for long range target shooting, not close-up plinking but 100+ yard target and maybe varmit. So a bull barrel would be appropriate? And a scope....what else?
Stag or Rock River would be my first choice for an off the shelf average priced good working gun.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will call Toyota executives to testify before a parliamentary committee on the safety of the company's vehicles, a federal legislator said on Friday.
"During these hearings we'll expect to hear from senior officials from Toyota and pose very serious questions to them," said Pierre Poilievre, a member of Parliament for the governing Conservative Party.
Toyota Canada Inc. immediately agreed to the request, calling it a "natural next step" in its strategy to explain its safety recalls.
"Toyota looks forward to the opportunity to participate in the formal hearings to ensure issues are on the record for all Canadians to understand," the company said in a statement.
Toyota Motor Corp.'s president apologized to U.S. lawmakers during Congressional hearings in Washington this week. His testimony marked a dramatic point in the company's safety crisis, which broke a month ago with a series of recalls over unintended acceleration and braking problems that now include more than 8.5 million vehicles worldwide.
"We know that Americans have been learning about some of the gut-wrenching stories that have come out in the aftermath of these revelations," said Poilievre. "We think Canadians are entitled to the same answers."
Parliament is due to reconvene next Wednesday and Poilievre said the Conservative government would co-operate with opposition parties, which have been calling for the hearings, to reconstitute a House of Commons transport committee as quickly as possible.

Console to Game Programming
Oct 30, 2013 at 2:43am UTC
Hey, I am a Junior in college as a computer science major. I have been programming primarily with C & C++ on fedora using vim and gcc or g++ compilers.
I am curious though as to how to go from what I am doing and do some basic game programming, where I should start. I would like to use my free time/ Christmas break to learn a little bit and maybe get a mediocre 2d game working.
Any thoughts?
Oct 30, 2013 at 2:51am UTC
You'll want a library for graphics. The most popular are SDL (C) and SFML (C++). There is also Allegro which is C++ IIRC.
Looking for tutorials for the library you choose should be enough to get you started.
Oct 30, 2013 at 3:33am UTC
You could also use C# instead, windows form applications. The .NET experience is probably something worthwhile to consider.
C# has a nice graphic user interface, with modifiable properties to each control in the GUI. Google and learn. Goodluck.
Oct 30, 2013 at 5:24am UTC
@Shren, the OP said that he was using Fedora, which is NOT windows. Therefore, C# (and other .NET options provided by Microsoft) won't work unless using some kind of windows emulator (or just switching to a windows operating system).
From my point of view, I taught myself OpenGL as another option instead, though it can take a bit more work than the others to do the same thing, and (unlike SFML or SDL) is simply a graphics library, rather than a multimedia library, so that it doesn't have functionality for things like opening a window, playing sound, recieving input, etc, so you'd either have to fiddle around with the X11 system or use a third party library (I used GLFW).
Of course, I did find another option the other day that I started learning, that is a C++ library for making 3d games, called IrrLicht. If you want to create a cool-looking 3D program without too much effort, I would recommend this, as it has a very intuitive API, and is also cross platform. It also has the advantage that it does most of the common things in 3D programming for you, such as calculating collision detection, implementing gravity, making a first person camera, etc. It also allows you to make maps and models in a graphical manner and simply load them with the engine, meaning that creating the world is no longer simply drawing lots and lots of rectangles, or implementing a heightmap, or other (simpler) ways of doing it.

I'm guessing 66%, or 100%.
(If you want to see scenes like this, head to Washington and Davis, just north of the Financh. And for some reason, handicap placard users tend to have brand new cars, and a lot of them have Mercedes-Benz S-Classes…)
Hey, here's another question:
What percentage of California physicians have ever been disciplined for signing off on somebody's handicap placard application?
The answer is zero percent (0%), in the entire history of Cali.
So that's why it's preferable for doctors to just sign your form instead of explaining why s/he doesn't want to sign your form and, and, you know, piss you off.
You know, I'm in my 40's, but when I was in my 30's, my knees felt warm for a couple days. I looked it up and thought, oh so that's what bursitis is. And people were all no you don't have bursitis, that's what plumbers get. And I thought, no, plumbers get chronic bursitis and I got me some acute bursitis. So I took an ibu pill and that was that – I never had this symptom again. Now, Gentle Reader, do you think I could go to a doctor, or a non-doctor, cause the DMV takes the word of pretty much anyone, and say I want a handicap placard for my bursitis condition, and then get a handicap placard, and then park all day all day, for free? I bet I could.
Not that I would.
But I'll tell you, whenever SFGov gets around to ending this FREE PARKING FIESTA scam, watch them all fall down.
As up in Portland, OR. Hey, you know Portland is a leader in so many things, so guess what they just did up there? That's right, NO SOUP FOR YOU! And, all of a sudden, most of the handicapped placards went away.
Someday this will happen down here in SF.

Editor's Note: This is the eighth post in a multi-week series on how to effectively leverage social media for your B2B Business. Last week OpenView's Kevin Cain delivered "The 411 on Corporate Blogging." Prior to that, social media strategist Nate Riggs, @nateriggs outlined "3 Ways To Take Advantage of LinkedIn's Time-Saving Features."
This week's post is from Jesse Stay, @Jesse, a social media technologist, consultant, and the author of the new book, Google+ for Dummies.
I have a confession to make. For better or worse, despite my close involvement and knowledge on Facebook, I've also been a Google social networking evangelist for the better part of the last decade.
Yes, I was an early Google Wave adopter, and I was an even bigger Google Buzz user. And while each service had potential, neither took hold and both failed for a variety of reasons. The products were a little bit intrusive. Privacy issues were rampant. The interface wasn't great. User engagement was poor. I could go on, but you get the point.
Then Google released Google+ last summer. I wondered if it would be another flop, but I couldn't stay away. A year later, I think the search giant may have finally gotten it right, even if Google+ engagement currently trails Facebook and Twitter by a significant margin.
Why, you might ask, have I been so loyal to Google's social offerings?
Because it's Google. And because this time, the search giant and its CEO seem fully committed to making Google's social media offering a long-term success.
That might be an ambiguous answer, but it really is that simple. Much as it seems like Facebook is taking over the world (a sentiment that's surely to grow after the social network's record-setting IPO in May), Google remains the king of the Web. And as the search giant continues to integrate Google+ into all of its products, its capability as a social network is only going to increase. Ultimately, that will open the door to some pretty exciting marketing opportunities.
Not convinced? Here are three more specific reasons I think businesses — especially smaller B2B startups and expansion-stage companies — should be considering Google+ as part of their social media strategy:
1. In addition to being a social network, Google+ is SEO fuel.
Google now requires users signing up for an account to also register for Gmail and Google+ accounts. It also recently launched its "Search Plus Your World" feature, which allows users with Google+ accounts to see content that their friends have read or suggested.
That's an incredibly powerful feature, largely because it gives your content authenticity and it improves its page rank in Google search results. For those reasons alone, it's worth investing a little bit of time in Google+.
2. Google+ can drive real-time, segmented engagement.
- Tips for Turning Your B2B Facebook Page Into a Beacon for Your Brand by social media and content strategist and speaker Jay Baer, @jaybaer
- How To Build a Ground Swell for Your Startup Using Twitter by social media strategist Nate Riggs, @nateriggs
- Social Media Matters: Exploring the Future of Social Media for Your B2B Business by OpenView Labs Senior Associate Amanda Maksymiw, @amandamaks
Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Google+ isn't overcrowded with brands and spam yet, which can make it much easier for a B2B company to stand out. All it takes is a little bit of time to develop a solid following, which you can then segment into specific Circles (think Friends, Family, Vendors, Customers, and Prospects). Granted, acquiring a following large enough to be impactful can be difficult, but a good place to start is by searching for certain keywords (a user's name or company, or key people in your industry, for example) to find the users that are more likely to engage with you.
At the moment, Google+ is all about people, not groups or brands (although, that will begin to change with the recently released Google+ Pages feature). As a result, it's much simpler to engage with people directly and, using Circles, lump them into specific groups to create more targeted communication.
3. Google+ isn't going away.
As Google+ expands, it's going to grow outward rather than inward. In other words, Google won't simply focus on growing its plus.google.com hub; it will use Google+ to make all of its products more social. As a result, you'll see further integration into Gmail, Google Contacts, YouTube, and Google's Android platform. In its first decade, Google's focus was on the Web and search. Going forward, it will be on how to make the Web — and everything it encompasses — more social through Google+.
Now, before you go crazy creating a Google+ profile or a Page for your business, there are some pitfalls you'll want to watch out for.
More specifically, here are three big things to avoid:
- Don't be spammy or over-promotional: Even with a Google+ company page, the focus should be on your people. If all you do is talk about your brand, or all you share is pitchy content, your following will suffer.
- Don't overcommit: I'm excited about the potential of Google+, but I still think it's critical for businesses to execute a well-rounded social media marketing strategy. So, while it might be temping to spend a lot of time on Google+, make sure you don't neglect the other networks (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.) where your customers might hang out more frequently.
- Don't forget your badge(s): Unless you apply for and acquire a verification badge from Google+, your business — or your profile — will lack authenticity. So, after you create a Google+ page, go to Google.com/+/business and follow the various links to begin filling out forms to get your badge. It will not only authenticate your page and profile, it will give the content you post a boost in search results because of its Google+ stamp of approval.
The bottom line:
For smaller B2B startups and growth stage businesses, the best time to be on Google+ is right now. With less competition for users' attention than Facebook and Twitter, smaller businesses stand a better chance of having their voice heard. Remember, Google+ is a people-oriented network, which gives smaller companies that aren't burdened by corporate red tape the opportunity to be more creative and personable. In today's fast-paced, overcrowded Web environment, that's a huge advantage.

Wesnoth 1.7.14 aka 1.8-beta7: Development Release
The seventh beta for 1.8 is ready. Please note that due to a critical bug fix only versions >=1.7.14 are allowed on the development multiplayer server. For more details about this and celebrating the new release please visit this forum thread.
As with the last releases, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is likely to cause a serious headache…
At the moment the Windows package and the MacOSX packages are ready. You can find them at the download page. Once the others are done you can find them at the download page, too. Please keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite many bugs. If you find one, report it.

Websites and value
Because of my website consultation on APhotoEditor.com, Rob posted a piece yesterday about what sites he likes, think work, and why. In his post, he mentions (among many other things!) that he likes LiveBooks sites and that they are, essentially, the new standard. To paraphrase him, if you can't match what they offer, don't bother trying and just get their products. He definitely did not say they were the bestest thing ever and that no one should bother getting a custom site, but from the comments you'd think that was his position. No, what he said was that LB sites are the standard for good/professional and that there are some better and lots worse out there.
I have to say that in most (not all, most) cases, those who commented about cheap or free alternatives are so not getting what is important in a website that I think it's not worth my effort to post again in the comments. I did it once and people still didn't get it. They just won't open up enough to listen.
You know what? I looked at those sites mentioned in the comments and they look cheap. Some of them work, sort of, most are slow and/or awkward, and most violate some or a lot of the basic "rules" for good photographer websites…rules laid out by the people who use them, i.e., your buyers.
Some are better, some are worse, but overall, it's like showing up for a date driving a Honda Fit…you look cheap and you're going to have to work a hell of a lot harder to impress the date. Why would anyone want that?
And no…don't even try to claim that you'd look frugal…you'd look cheap in a Fit and that is just the simple truth.
This brings me to the other argument about LB sites–some people claim they are expensive. Again, this is a case where people are confusing price and value. LB sites are actually a very good value. To get something similar designed and programmed by an independent pro would generally cost significantly more than what LB charges. The sites look simple (that is good design) and they are so easy for buyers to use that they love them (also good design). For the photographer, the back-end is incredibly simple and efficient so making "collections" is easy, swapping and sequencing images a snap. All of these aspects have value in that they save you time and, I can't believe I need to remind people about this, your time costs you money (if you can't bill for it).
When people say I'm shilling for LB, it ticks me off. I'm not. I like plenty of non-LB sites. But when the choice is between putting yourself out to the world with something that makes it harder for you to elevate your perceived value, something that only-half works but saves you some cash right this second, and buying a LB site that will immediately elevate your perceived value in your targets' eyes, I'll encourage the latter every time.
Look at it this way, you could buy the Honda Fit for $14K or you could buy a barely used MINI Cooper for $25K or a BMW with about 30K miles for the same. Are the used MINI or Beemer perfect? No, but you're going to look like you are more successful in them.
And image is a very important part of our job.

The device that appears on the right is not the new Moto X+1, but the older Moto X, and it's probably there as a placeholder and nothing more. The $400 price is most likely a placeholder, too. According to Droid-life, there are also references to a Moto X+1 for both Sprint and Verizon. So the new handset might be released via the three largest US carriers at some point - just like the Moto X.
Not long ago, we heard that Motorola would offer no less than 25 backplate options for the Moto X+1, including leather and wood models. While nothing is truly confirmed at the moment, it's pretty clear that Motorola can barely wait to officially unveil the Moto X+1. Still, it looks like the company will announce a Moto E first, during an event that's going to take place on May 13.

But this was 100 years ago.
That first, groundbreaking, operation took place in Olomouc, now in the east of the Czech Republic.
It was carried out by Dr Eduard Zirm, an ophthalmic specialist who had been trying to achieve a successful transplant for some time.
The recipient was Alois Gloger, a labourer who had been blinded in an accident while working with lime.
The corneas came from an 11-year-old boy who had been blinded by deep injuries to his eyes.
The operation was a success, and the 43-year-old patient could see again. He retained his eyesight for the rest of his life and was back working on his farm within three months.
Dr Zirm, in common with other specialists across the world, had long been trying to achieve a successful cornea transplant.
He transplanted corneas into both the patient's eyes. To get around the lack of fine material to sew the cornea to the eye, he used strips of the conjunctiva - the lining of the white of the eye - prising up one end of a strip and using it to "tape down" the new cornea.
To cut out the cornea for transplant, he used a trephine, a circular surgical instrument with a cutting edge, powered by clockwork.
He then sewed the patient's eyelids shut for 10 days to allow time for the cornea and the conjunctiva strips to "knit" together.
When he unstitched the eyelids, the graft in the patient's left eye had taken - although the other had failed.
First human transplant
Dr Zirm's grandson Mathias now works as an ophthalmologist in Innsbruck, Austria.
He said: "I admire him as an ophthalmic surgeon, not because he is my grandfather or because his name is Zirm.
"It was him who made this breakthrough, and he was pioneering.
"But it's not just that he did something first. It's the encouragement he gave to young doctors to carry out research and to be pioneering."
Frank Larkin, director of cornea services at London's Moorfield's Eye Hospital, said the success was unexpected.
He told the BBC News website: "It was a big surprise. He was the first person to show this transplant could be a success for more than a few days.
"And it was the first successful human transplant of any kind."
He added: "Zirm's success was a mixture of luck and judgement.
"At that time, nobody had any understanding of the risks of transplanted tissue being rejected, or about the risk of sepsis.
Dr Larkin added: "It would be a big surprise for such an operation to be carried out in that way and to be a success now."
Eye banks
The first UK cornea transplant did not take place until 1930, perhaps because of a view that Dr Zirm's success might be hard to replicate.
David Smerdon, a consultant eye surgeon at the James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough, said: "At that time, medical advances moved very slowly.
"But, with the onset of better infection control and the first antibiotics, the use of microscopes in operations and microsurgery - all these things have accelerated the development of corneal transplant."
Since then, thousands of people across the world have benefited from cornea transplants - including up to 2,500 every year in the UK.
Around 80,000 such transplants are carried out every year.
The operation is still carried out in much the same way as Dr Zirm's procedure.
Eye banks are key to the increasing numbers who can benefit from cornea transplants, experts say.
In the past, transplants would have to take place within 24 hours of corneas being removed from donors.
But the ability to store them in banks has meant it is possible to manage supply and demand.
Most people who have the operation are suffering from diseases which have caused the cornea to become misshapen.
However, surgeons now have microscopes and fine suturing threads to allow them to stitch the cornea to the eye.
Over 90% of operations are successful a year after the operation.
'The world lit up again'
Transplant charities are using the centenary of the first operation to highlight the need for more corneas to be donated for transplant.
Mr Smerdon said there was a particular need for donors from the Asian community, as ethnic groups differ in tissue characteristics which need to match for transplants to be a success.
The shortage of Asian donors means patients from that community can wait longer than those from other ethnic groups.
Briane Reeve is one of the most recent beneficiaries of cornea transplants.
Her lifelong passion for bird-watching was under threat because a rare condition called Fuch's dystrophy - which causes the cornea to swell and to distort vision - was slowly eroding her sight.
She has had transplants in both eyes - one under local anaesthetic, which mean she could see everything that was going on.
The transplants were a success and Brianne, 67, from West Sussex, is now chairs her local ornithology club.
The retired head teacher said the difference was "fantastic".
"The world lit up again for me. Things were crisp and clear. It was an amazing difference."
She added: "The kindness and unselfishness of the donors who gave me my sight back never ceases to impress me and I shall be forever grateful for their gifts."

Egypt's New Currency Regime
Egypt surprised the financial markets on Jan. 29 by floating its currency, the pound, which has previously been maintained at a managed rate. The move came after three years of recession, thanks in part to an overvalued currency, which makes Egyptian exports uncompetitive. The International Monetary Fund has for years urged a free float for the pound, but President Hosni Mubarak's government has dawdled, fearing that a drop in the currency might be interpreted as a sign of instability. On the first day of the new regime, the pound tumbled 15%, to a rate of 5.34 pounds to the U.S. dollar.

NIOSH is one of those federal agencies that prefers to lie quietly in the background. But when USDA misconstrued a NIOSH report on poultry worker injuries, the agency took notice and created some waves.
The wisdom of USDA's plan to privatize poultry inspection is striking newspaper editors as an unwise move. USDA is rebutting the opinion pieces, but their assertions need a dose of reality.

Nick Smith has not seen the movie Three Amigos nor will he want to if the small defender wants to rest his mind to play a role coach John Longmire describes as one of the least envied in football.
In the 1986 western comedy, three Hollywood silent film actors are sent to a Mexican village where the locals, mistaking them for real-life heroes, believe they have come to save them from a bandit named El Guapo. In true Hollywood style the amigos overcome adversity and post a victory for the good guys.
On Saturday night, Smith will be playing the role of El Guapo, aiming to prevent Carlton's three amigos of Eddie Betts, Jeff Garlett and Chris Yarran from triumphing in a foreign land. The future of Betts, Garlett and Yarran at Carlton has been the subject of much speculation this season such has been the inconsistency of their performances but they have shown encouraging signs in the past six weeks.
Betts, in particular, played a key role in Carlton's stirring second halves in the past fortnight against Richmond and Port Adelaide.
Smith is expecting to spend most of the night on either Betts or Garlett, while the Swans believe Yarran will play mainly across half-back.
Garlett is the more traditional goal sneak who capitalises at ground level whereas the 173-centimetre Betts, an All-Australian nominee in 2011 and last year, is a particularly strong mark for a player of his size.
Betts is goalless from his past three games against the Swans but played a match-winning hand in early 2011 when he booted four goals in the wet against Smith, including three in a magical five-minute burst in the third quarter.
''He's a really good player. If you're not switched on he'll definitely get a hold of you, which has happened before,'' Smith said. ''It's really important I get myself right if I am on him. He can get the ball on the lead and go for his grabs as well as being a really good crumber. He's got a few strings to his bow.''
Garlett, with 43, is the Blues' leading goalkicker this season but played in the reserves as recently as round 22 due to a disciplinary issue.
''Jeff's a bit quicker, gets up the ground, whereas Eddie can get on the lead and plays one out a bit more out of the square,'' Smith said. ''Either way you have to adjust. You've got to plan for their best.''
Smith is not a prolific rebounder but is considered an invaluable part of Sydney's defence by Longmire due to his ability not to be beaten in one-on-one contests.
''Nick's played well on some of the opposition small forwards and has a history of it over the last couple of years - he gets the tough jobs,'' Longmire said. ''I've always said I wouldn't like to be Nick Smith sleeping the night before because he plays on some of the best small forwards in the competition. This week we come up against some of the best.''
