|Kevin and Mariah
|Rikkart and Grimes as Kevin and Mariah
|Current status
Kevin Fisher and Mariah Copeland are fictional characters on the soap opera The Young and the Restless. Kevin is the son of Tom Fisher and Gloria Abbott Bardwell, paternal half-brother of Daisy and Ryder Carter, maternal half-brother of Michael Baldwin, and uncle to Fenmore Baldwin and Lucy Romalotti. Mariah is the daughter of Sharon Newman and Frank Barritt, but she was stolen from her mother by Ian Ward, and adopted by Helen Copeland. She has a twin sister named Cassie Newman, and two maternal half-siblings: Noah Newman and Faith Newman. She has two main rivals: Abby Newman and Summer Newman
Though not an official couple, Kevin and Mariah have kissed twice (they tried two other times, but got interrupted), and both have feelings for one another, but are not letting the other one know. Mariah accidentally admitted that she loves Kevin to Summer and Kyle Abbott.
Recently, Kevin and Mariah have made their relationship official and planning on going on an official date. Instead, Mariah (under the advice of Marisa Sierras), seduced Kevin, and they had a one night stand; but both agreed the sex was awful, and decided to remain friends.
Kevin and Mariah first bumped into each other at Crimson Lights with Kevin stunned by her resemblance to Cassie. Mariah snarled that he better not say she looks like Cassie because she was sick of hearing it. Kevin surmised she was having a bad day and they opened up to each other about their current problems, and realized they like the same book series when they each said a quote from it.
Kevin and Mariah made a pact to leave town, but said they would go there separate ways once they left town. Mariah was kidnapped by Ian, and Kevin was conceded about her. After Mariah found out Sharon was her mother, she reluctantly stayed in town. Kevin, having helped the police locate Mariah, decided to stay as well.
Kevin started visiting the Underground more and more, and he and Mariah formed a deeper bond after each opening up about their history. Kevin's compassion towards Mariah inspired her to try and be a better friend and person overall. She made an effort to support Kevin when he was having bad days. After finding out Michael had cancer, she and Kevin got into a spat about how she reacted to it. When Kevin was about to storm out Mariah stopped him and apologized. They hugged and then Kevin kissed Mariah. After the kiss Mariah tells Kevin that he can't just kiss someone, leading Kevin to ask if she liked it. Mariah answers that she didn't expect it while Kevin replies back that he didn't plan it, it was just in a moment of affection. Mariah then says if that's the type of friends they are, why not just have sex. After Mariah suggests they have sex, Kevin says no (even though he admitted part of him thinks it would be a great idea) because they can talk to each other and asked if they wanted to mess all that up. In the end they both agreed that they didn't want to ruin their friendship.
Kevin brought a Christmas tree over for Mariah, and then playfully hung mistletoe over there heads. Mariah was about to kiss Kevin when Sharon came home. On Christmas, Kevin asked for Mariah's help to find detective Mark Harding's pet rabbit, and then they wished each other a merry Christmas before heading back home. On New Year's eve Kevin and Mariah kissed again, but this time Mariah initiated the kiss. Kevin and Mariah almost kiss again when they were alone at Sharon's house looking for her charger but they were interrupted.
Kevin and Mariah hit a rough patch on Mariah's birthday. Overwhelmed by gifts, but still feeling overshadowed by Cassie, Mariah acted out and kissed her friend and co-worker Austin Travers. Despite Mariah's efforts to push Kevin away from her, he got her to open up to him. Mariah thanked Kevin for helping her, and he later comforted her after Summer told Mariah know one would ever love her. When Mariah had a falling out with Sharon, she agreed to live with Kevin platonically.
Kevin and Mariah both attended a Valentine's Day party hosted by Abby at the Abbott cabin. During a game of never have I ever, Abby said "never have I ever had a crush on a best friend", and both Kevin and Mariah glanced quickly at each other and took a drink. Kevin started to encourage Mariah to be polite, but the fun and games ended when Austin was murdered. Throughout all the blaming and yelling, Kevin and Mariah stood by each other and never once blamed the other. Kevin supported Mariah as she grieved over Austin's death.

Principal Findings: This is clearly illustrated by a study in which common carp displaying behavioural predictors of different coping styles (characterised by a proactive, adrenaline-based or a reactive, cortisol-based response) were subjected to inflammatory challenge and specific gene transcripts measured in individual brains. Proactive and reactive fish differed in baseline gene expression and also showed diametrically opposite responses to the challenge for 80% of the genes investigated. Significance: Incorporating coping style as an explanatory variable can account for some the unexplained variation that is common in gene expression studies, can uncover important effects that would otherwise have passed unnoticed and greatly enhances the interpretive value of gene expression data. 2009-04-01T00:00:00Z Qualitative Studies Linked to Trials of Complex Interventions: what does case study methodology have to offer (Poster) http://hdl.handle.net/1893/25406 Title: Qualitative Studies Linked to Trials of Complex Interventions: what does case study methodology have to offer (Poster) Authors: Bugge, Carol; Grant, Aileen; Dean, Sarah G; Hay-Smith, Jean; McClurg, Doreen; Hagen, Suzanne 2017-05-01T00:00:00Z MR elastography measurement of the effect of passive warmup prior to eccentric exercise on thigh muscle mechanical properties (Forthcoming/Available Online) http://hdl.handle.net/1893/25392 Title: MR elastography measurement of the effect of passive warmup prior to eccentric exercise on thigh muscle mechanical properties (Forthcoming/Available Online) Authors: Kennedy, Paul; Macgregor, Lewis James; Barnhill, Eric; Johnson, Curtis; Perrins, Michael; Hunter, Angus; Brown, Colin; van, Beek Edwin J R; Roberts, Neil Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the effect of warmup by application of the thermal agent Deep Heat (DH) on muscle mechanical properties using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) at 3T before and after exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Materials and Methods: Twenty male participants performed an individualized protocol designed to induce EIMD in the quadriceps. DH was applied to the thigh in 50% of the participants before exercise. MRE, T2-weighted MRI, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), creatine kinase (CK) concentration, and muscle soreness were measured before and after the protocol to assess EIMD effects. Five participants were excluded: four having not experienced EIMD and one due to incidental findings. Results: Total workload performed during the EIMD protocol was greater in the DH group than the control group (P < 0.03), despite no significant differences in baseline MVC (P=0.23). Shear stiffness |G*| increased in the rectus femoris (RF) muscle in both groups (P < 0.03); however, DH was not a significant between-group factor (P= 0.15). MVC values returned to baseline faster in the DH group (5 days) than the control group (7 days). Participants who displayed hyperintensity on T2-weighted images had a greater stiffness increase following damage than those without: RF; 0.61 kPa vs. 0.15 kPa, P < 0.006, vastus intermedius; 0.34 kPa vs. 0.03 kPa, P =0.06. Conclusion: EIMD produces increased muscle stiffness as measured by MRE, with the change in |G*| significantly increased when T2 hyperintensity was present. DH did not affect CK concentration or soreness; however, DH participants produced greater workload during the EIMD protocol and exhibited accelerated MVC recovery. Level of Evidence: 1. 2017-02-20T00:00:00Z Ecology and management history drive spatial genetic structure in Scots pine (Forthcoming) http://hdl.handle.net/1893/25378 Title: Ecology and management history drive spatial genetic structure in Scots pine (Forthcoming) Authors: Gonzalez, Diaz Patricia; Jump, Alistair; Perry, Annika; Wachowiak, Witold; Lapshina, Elena; Cavers, Stephen Abstract: Forest management practices that remove trees from stands can promote substantial changes in the distribution of genetic diversity within and among populations at multiple spatial scales. In small and isolated populations, elevated inbreeding levels might reduce fitness of subsequent generations and threaten forest resilience in the long term. Comparing fine-scale spatial genetic structure (SGS) between life stages (e.g. adult and juvenile cohorts) can identify when populations have undergone disturbance, even in species with long generation times. Here, we studied the effects of historical and contemporary forest management, characterized by intense felling and natural regeneration respectively, on genetic diversity and fine-scale SGS in adult and juvenile cohorts. We examined fragmented Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands in the Scottish Highlands, and compared them with a remote, unmanaged stand. A total of 777 trees were genotyped using 12 nuclear microsatellite markers. No difference was identified in allelic richness or gene diversity among stands or life stages, suggesting that historical and contemporary management have not impacted levels of genetic variation. However, management appears to have changed the spatial distribution of genetic variation. Adult genotypes from managed stands were more spatially structured than in the unmanaged stand, a difference mediated by contrasts in tree density, degree of fragmentation of stands at the time of establishment and rate of gap creation. Surprisingly, juveniles were less spatially structured than adults in the managed stands, suggesting an historical erosion of the structure of the adult cohort but contemporary recovery to natural dynamics, and indicating a high capacity of the species to recover after disturbance. Here we showed that using the spatial component of genetic diversity can help to detect both historical and contemporary effects of disturbance in tree populations. Evaluation of successional change is important to adequately detect early responses of tree populations to forest management practices. Overall, our study suggests that combining sustainable management with forest conservation practices that ensure larger effective population sizes is key to successfully maintaining genetic diversity in Scots pine.

Head over to ServerFault for higher quality answers... Or better yet, just stick with Spiceworks. I'm wary of any site that considers all of it's users "experts" and requires them to pay to use the site/service.

8 Things a German Hates the Most Driving in America
Victoria X
With the cost of a driver's license upwards of $2,000 (as opposed to the average $600 in America) and the speed limit defined only by your car's engine, it is no surprise that Germans take their traffic rules very seriously. We threw a German on American roads for two months. Here is what drove him the craziest driving in America.
1 | Multi-lane overtaking
Overtaking from only one direction reduces accidents and improves traffic flow
Germany (and most advanced economies as a matter of fact) allows you to overtake only from the left. If the car behind you is driving faster, you are required by law to move to the right to clear up the way. How many times did you almost hit the car which is also moving into the same lane but from another direction on the 12-lane USA freeway? Oh and you are changing lane because the car in front of you is driving incredibly slowly.
2 | Not indicating when changing lanes
On top of the multi-lane overtaking rule, many people don't indicate when they change lanes (or do so only after they are halfway into the lane).
3 | Driving without headlights at night
You don't usually notice them because – well you can't see them. It is a federal crime to drive without headlights on at night in Germany (and yes Germans would report you immediately!). No wonder the plentitude of cars without headlights on stood out to the German.
4 | Or driving with too many lights on
By our count on a random street in Los Angeles, 35 cars drove by within a minute with their fog lights on in a perfectly clear evening. We know you paid extra for those lights, but do we need a constant reminder of that?
5 | Leaving a huge gap with the car in front of you at stop lights
Unlike Germany, America has plenty of space. But hello truck, you can fit 3 sedans (or 4 Smarts) in front of you. Please move forward.
6 | Parking over the line
7 | The over use of stop signs
Stop signs slow down traffic, increase fuel consumption, and in many low-traffic neighborhoods, are unnecessary. This is why Europeans opt for roundabouts. According to America's Department of Transportation, replacing intersections with roundabouts leads to a 35% fall in crashes, a 76% fall in injuries and a 90% fall in deaths. Many people have spoken against stop signs (See this TED speech for example). So why do we still have so many of them? BTW, rolling past a stop sign will cost you $238 in California. You better stop.
8 | Driving slowly… way too slowly.
Our low speed limit aside, many folks drive way below the speed limit. Ever wonder why we have so many phantom traffic jams? A car ahead is driving below the speed of traffic or decides to brake for no apparent reason, causing the chain-reaction of cars behind it.
Maybe we can improve our traffic conditions by adopting some German efficiencies.

|Artist's Statement
Recent Body of Work: Painted Tapestries
The subtle imperfections evident in the textured backgrounds are reminiscent of layers of aged, water-stained wall coverings, tarnish on silver, sun faded fabric, or frayed trim on a needlepoint ottoman. The deconstructed nature of the bouquets hint at the 'English garden' arrangements of yesteryear, while the subdued palette lends a patina of age to each piece.
These works have been intentionally crafted to suggest the time-worn charm of heirlooms of a bygone era.
a) Quilts Residing in Waterloo County, I have been influenced by the cultural importance of the quilting tradition. These flat patterns of colour and shape both fascinate and excite me. Recently, the colour-wash method of quilt making has influenced my watercolours.
b) Stained Glass After working in close proximity with a stained glass artist, I have been influenced by this art form. Stained glass relies on the interplay of flat shapes of glistening transparent colour to create images. This art form continues to be a very strong influence as it makes up an important component of my school's arts department.
c) Computer Art Teaching computer art to students, and watching them create art within defined pixels of computer colour and shape has been a further influence. It is stylized pixels that is the most recognizable computer influence in my work. Even the use of computer languages for painting titles has become a habit!
If asked "where does your subject matter come from?" my response very simply would be that I work from lived experience. My farm background plays a key role in almost all of my work, from the garden florals and other agricultural-based imagery to the beach scenes. Each relates to my childhood and strong family connections to Kent County.
My watercolours are occasionally mixed with Caran d'ache watercolour crayons on watercolour paper of various sizes. Most recently I have explored the impact and strength of fragmented landscape memories, punctuated by colour or black and white photocopied photograph reproductions. The use of mixed media such as latex paint, and metal with watercolour further enhances some of my work.

Maker spaces become more common in schools across Western Pa.
Lyla Sebeck crinkled her forehead as if deep in thought as she tinkered with a Phillips screwdriver and a block of wood.
Her first-grade class at Avonworth Primary Center in Ohio Township were gathered in the school's "maker space," a do-it-yourself classroom equipped with sewing machines, woodworking materials and a 3-D printer.
"You're going to screw it all the way into the board," a teacher called out from the front of the room. "When you get it in there, you're going to reverse it and turn it the other way to get it out. Righty tighty, lefty loosey."
Maker spaces are becoming more common in schools across Western Pennsylvania as educators try to engage students through hands-on activities.
Robert Morris University recently launched a partnership to add maker spaces in the Avonworth, Cornell, Quaker Valley and Moon Area school districts.
The partnership, dubbed the Ohio River Consortium, secured a $225,000, two-year grant from the Grable Foundation, a Pittsburgh nonprofit, to pay for materials, supplies and teacher training.
"Research tells us students are more engaged when they are producing something," said Mary Ann Rafoth, dean of RMU's School of Education and Social Sciences.
"That's really what underlies the whole maker movement — the idea that students will be much more involved and think much more deeply if they're producing things."
The consortium's focus this year is to bring maker education to the primary grades. It will concentrate on middle schools next year.
Maker education is an outgrowth of the STEM movement, which exposes students to science, technology, engineering and mathematics through hands-on experiments, Rafoth said.
The maker movement began in Europe about a decade ago. There are some 1,500 maker spaces worldwide, researchers at Dartmouth College estimate.
The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh pioneered the concept locally, providing maker workshops to more than 20 school districts, said Rebecca Grabman, who manages the museum's makeshop activities.
"It's really catching fire," Rafoth said. "It all goes back to working with real things and connecting with the real world."
Maker ed teaches students 21st-century work skills, she said: "Information is in everybody's cellphone right now. There's no point in teaching for regurgitation. What we need are people who can invent and create."
Tom Ralston, Avonworth's superintendent, agreed.
"It's creating the mindset of an innovator," he said. "That's a mindset you have to cultivate from an early age."
Avonworth was among the first districts in the region to buy into the concept. It began when Ken Lockette, the district's assistant superintendent, attended a maker boot camp three or four years ago at the Children's Museum.
District officials installed a maker space a short while later in the collaboration center, a shared space between the high school and middle school. They consulted with the museum in designing the space.
For the primary grades, a teacher wheeled a cart from classroom to classroom and facilitated maker activities. Last year, teachers began using a classroom in the Primary Center's basement as a maker space. The center has more than 400 students in kindergarten through second grade.
The district is using its share of the Ohio River Consortium grant to add a maker space to its elementary school, which has 385 students in third through fifth grades.
"By the end of this year, we're going to have maker spaces in all our buildings," Lockette said. "Kids are going to have these experiences all the way from kindergarten up to 12th grade."
Other districts such as Cornell are just beginning to incorporate "maker ed" into their curriculum. Teachers are undergoing training, and district officials are converting an unused elementary school classroom at the district's K-12 building in Coraopolis into a maker space.
"This is a whole new concept for our staff, and it's a new concept for me," said Aaron Thomas, Cornell's superintendent. "It'll be ongoing throughout this year. It'll not be done in a week or a month. It'll be continuing to transform."
Many teachers struggled when Avonworth began implementing its maker ed program.
"It's very messy, The traditional way of teaching is easier," Ralston said.
"To say, 'I'm going to give a test every Friday and these are going to be things I go through in my lectures,' that's simple. But when you're designing an activity that you don't really know which way it's going to go when the kids start on it, that's difficult."
Despite a bumpy start, the shift has been worth it, said Becky Kolesar, a third-grade teacher at Avonworth Elementary School.
"The engagement the children have when they're involved in these activities is phenomenal," she said.
The students seem to enjoy it, too.
"I like it," Lyla, the Avonworth first-grader said. "You can use your imagination to make things you always wanted to make."

Very responsive, high quality service and equipment
Our HVAC system died at what was for us the worst time, the end of January. We frantically called a number of local companies asking for quotes and a family member recommended that we call Sean from Affordable Aire. Unlike the other companies Sean did not try to sell us his system, he took the time to understand our needs and then presented options. Once the decision was made on the unit, Sean cleared his schedule to accommodate our needs. He and his installation crew were very methodical and took the time to adapt our old infrastructure to the new system. This was above and beyond taking time that was not anticipated in the original quote but they wanted to make it the most efficient and did not charge us for the extra work. We are now 7 months into our system and have not had a single problem. Our electricity usage is down and we are very comfortable. All and all we cannot say enough good about the system and especially the service from Affordable Aire and we have and will continue to highly recommended them to our neighbors, family and friends.
Washington County
Excellent , Affordable Aire And Refrigeration showed up on time, and did outstanding work. Sean was honest and didn't try to over sell me on anything. The work they performed was top quality, I high recommend them.
Residential install
Affordable Aire & Refrigeration installed a Goodman heat pump and air handler in my home. They were courteous and friendly and answered all my questions concerning my new unit. They worked professionally to complete the job and I am thrilled with the results. The new unit will save me money, rather than continuing to rely on my old oil furnace.

Virtualization of everything from servers to desktops can make midsize businesses more flexible, responsive and efficient, but in order to realize the full benefits of these technologies businesses need to understand the unique demands they place on IT infrastructure and use specialized tools to manage virtualized environments effectively.

www.pentecostalcontinuing.org - THE REAL REVIVALISTS 2
You need Flash Player in order to view this.
Revivalist 2: Evan Roberts
The key message of Evan Roberts in light of the 1904 Revival in Wales is summed up in four parts:
1. Confess all known sin
2. Deal with and get rid of anything 'doubtful' in your life
3. Be ready to obey the Holy Spirit instantly
4. Confess Christ publicly
W.T. Stead revealed that the revival in Wales he found to be spontaneous interviewing Roberts in the Rhondda.
"The movement is not of me," said Mr. Roberts— "it is of God. I would not dare to try to direct it. Obey the Spirit, that is our word in everything. It is the Spirit alone which is leading us in our meetings and in all that is done."
Further in the interview Stead saw that Robert's passion was to be led by the Holy Spirit.
"Do you propose to go to England?"
"No. To North Wales next. They say North Wales is stony cold, but I believe the Holy Spirit will work there also. Oh, yes, God will move North Wales also."
"Can you tell me how you began to take to this work?"
"Oh, yes, that I will," said Mr. Roberts, "if you wish to hear of it. For a long, long time I was much troubled in my soul and my heart by thinking over the failure of Christianity. Oh! it seemed such a failure—such a failure—and I prayed and prayed, but nothing seemed to give me any relief. But one night, after I had been in great distress praying about this, I went to sleep, and at one o'clock in the morning suddenly I was waked up out of my sleep, and I found myself with unspeakable joy and awe in the very presence of the Almighty God. And for the space of four hours I was privileged to speak face to face with Him as a man speaks face to face with a friend. At five o'clock it seemed to me as if I again returned to earth."
In identifying the features of the Revival Matthews declared the following:
"Everything sprang into new life. Former blasphemers were the most eloquent, both in prayer and praise...Drunkards forgot the way to saloons...they were busy worshiping... It was the young people who responded with the greatest alacrity to the challenge of absolute surrender and consecrated to the service of the Lord...With ever increasing momentum, the movement advanced, creating unprecedented excitement among the churches and the secular institutions outside" (Matthews, I Saw the Welsh Revival, Moody).
What happened in South Wales was heard around the world. From many nations went people of all ranks of life to the country to personally witness the phenomenon. Some criticized and others scoffed, but such voices were answered by the throngs of people who filled the church sanctuaries to capacity for months on end.
The Welsh revival was not an orgy of emotion but a "mighty outpouring of religious fervor, bringing a whole nation to its knees at the foot of the cross in adoration and praise" (Matthews). In the midst of the events at Loughor, Roberts was asked to share his message with neighbouring churches in South Wales and eventually in North Wales as well. Marvellous results were very apparent wherever he taught the Word of God.
Having prayed myself in the small Chapel at Loughor, where Evan ministered one can still sense the revival anointing coming from the great prayer meetings Evan had here. These meetings were totally surrendered to the Holy Spirit, those with access to these meetings being moved with conviction, the cry out of Evan being to "Bend Me, Bend Me" – "send your Spirit to Moriah …" The anointing was great – God's power manifest bringing conviction to the people who turned from their drinking house to the House of Prayer. Such was the affect on society that we saw a great move of conviction and repentance on the nation that led to holiness and mission – an impact still witnessed today all over the World.

By Jason Reid
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, February 23, 2011; 12:09 AM
Don't do it, Mike Shanahan.
Don't give in to temptation.
As much as you want one to help you rebuild the Washington Redskins, don't draft a young quarterback with the 10th overall pick in April's draft.
The offensive-minded coach in you initially may be drawn to one of the former college stars available. And a few of them may impress in workouts and interviews during this week's draft combine in Indianapolis.
But you're also responsible for Washington's entire football operation, so you should know better. The Redskins have too many holes (craters, actually) on defense to use their first-round pick on offense.
Washington's long search for a franchise quarterback will have to extend into the future. This draft, defense has to be the focus. It's as clear as the roads to FedEx Field before a late-season Redskins game.
In your first season as head coach, the Redskins had their worst defensive performance since 1954. Generally, it's hard to do anything in life worse than it has been done in 56 years.
Washington finished 31st out of 32 teams and ranked last for much of the season. It was a stunning drop-off for a team that had a top-10 defense eight times in 10 seasons between 2000 and 2009.
Growing pains were inevitable after you ordered the radical shift from the team's longstanding 4-3 defense to an aggressive 3-4. The total collapse, though, occurred because you didn't make the substantive personnel changes necessary to give the new scheme a chance to succeed.
No impact draft picks or free agents were added on defense. In fact, linebacker Perry Riley (fourth round, 103rd overall) was the only defensive player you drafted. Given an extended opportunity late last season, Riley proved he wasn't ready for a major role.
Selecting left tackle Trent Williams fourth overall made sense, especially considering the offensive line previously seemed like an afterthought. As a rookie, Williams showed he has the talent to become a perennial Pro Bowler. We'll soon see if he has the desire, as well.
There were many defensive players still available in the second round who would have potentially fit in well. They could have contributed last season along the defensive line and at outside linebacker, where help was definitely needed.
Of course, the Redskins didn't have a second-round pick. You traded it (along with a conditional pick that became a fourth-rounder in the upcoming draft) to Philadelphia last April for quarterback Donovan McNabb, whom you benched in December and hope to trade as soon as possible.
With the team's strategy centered on offense in the last draft, you should have done more to address the 3-4 through free agency and trades. Your biggest moves - signing nose tackle Ma'ake Kemoeatu and trading for defensive end Adam Carriker - didn't move the needle. Washington was left with a below-average front seven for what it was trying to accomplish scheme-wise.
That's why the whole 3-4 thing last season was such a head-scratcher. The defense doesn't work well without an effective nose tackle, and the Redskins lacked one on their roster. Hoping Albert Haynesworth would eventually accept a position change in his ninth year in the league showed you didn't understand Albert Haynesworth, Mike.
The Green Bay Packers have provided the blueprint for the right way to transition from the 4-3 to 3-4. Before committing to the change in 2009, the Packers drafted two top prospects at the scheme's most important positions: nose tackle B.J. Raji and outside linebacker Clay Matthews. Raji and Matthews provided the foundation for the stout, big-play defense that helped the Packers defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl earlier this month.
The style of defense played by the Packers, Steelers and Redskins works best with a dominant nose tackle occupying multiple blockers in the middle and outstanding edge rushers at linebacker. Green Bay and Pittsburgh have the needed personnel up front. The Redskins just have needs.
Assuming the Redskins keep the 10th pick, they should have options at outside linebacker. Adding another gifted one to complement Brian Orakpo could provide the pass-rushing balance that was missing last season. A play-making end also would help.
Mike, I understand why you'd like to get a quarterback high in the draft. Your brief, disastrous partnership with McNabb cost the team two valuable picks and resulted in more anonymous backstabbing than victories.
Drafting and "raising" a young quarterback would be just the thing to re-energize you. It's why you were so eager to find some way to get Sam Bradford last season despite the St. Louis Rams' clear message they were not willing to trade the No. 1 overall pick.
This likely isn't the draft where you'll find the next Bradford or John Elway. Even your people at Redskins Park believe there is much more talent on defense than offense in this draft, at least in the top 20 picks.
So do yourself a favor, Mike: Use your top pick on a defensive player and draft a quarterback in the second round.
It's time to show you understand what it takes to run the 3-4. It's time to begin assembling the pieces you need before it's too late.

dining with Federico: 8 ½ course menu
The 34th American Film Market returns to Santa Monica this November, and to celebrate, La Botte Ristorante will pay a culinary homage to the great Italian director Federico Fellini.
La Botte's Chef Stefano De Lorenzo will guide diners on a tour of the tastes and scents of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, evoking Fellini's typical menu at his country table in Rimini.
La Botte proposes to "channel" Fellini's culinary predilections and traditions, playfully manifested in a "8 ½ Course" menu. Each course will introduce an aspect of Fellini's passion for country cuisine. For Fellini, the culinary style of the Emilia-Romagna region was just as passionate a devotion as film-making.
As the legendary director was noted to say, "Life is a combination of magic and pasta." In "Amarcord" Fellini envisioned food as soothing balm, or in other films, as a taboo (as in 8 ½ and Boccaccio '70).
The eight-course menu will be priced at $48 including a bold glass of wine.
Scheggia di Reggiano sgocciolato con balsamico pregiato
A sliver of Parmigiano Reggiano with drops of balsamic directly imported from Reggio Emilia
Pomodorini in Burrata
Cherry tomato, Burrata, aged balsamic
Cappelletti in Brodo
Little handmade pasta hats in a meaty, clear broth (choice of veggie broth)
Tigelle in Carrozza
Small round flat bread with a variety of dips and/or Prosciutto di Parma
Tortelli di Zucca, Burro e Salvia
Pumpkin ravioli, butter and sage
Wagyu beef ragu, seasonal greens pasta (choice of market vegetable lasagna)
Branzino e Melanzane
Sea bass and Eggplant
Semifreddo all'Amaretto
Amaretto ice cream cake
Malvasia Frizzante o Lambrusco
A bold glass of sparkling Malvasia or Lambrusco
"Dining with Fellini" is not only a great chance to celebrate the filmic and gastronomic passions of Fellini, but also to learn about the traditions of Emilia-Romagna, with its fresh pasta, its soups and broths, its farmers' recipes and seafood plates, and the local light wines meant to be consumed young.

The highly-anticipated fantasy debut from Aurealis and Ditmar Award-winning author Thoraiya Dyer, set in a giant mythical rainforest controlled by living gods.
At the highest level of a giant forest, 13 kingdoms fit seamlessly together to form the great city of Canopy. Thirteen goddesses and gods rule this realm and are continuously reincarnated into human bodies. Canopy's position in the sun, however, is not without its dark side. The nation's opulence comes from the labor of slaves, and below its fruitful boughs are two other realms: Understorey and Floor, whose deprived citizens yearn for Canopy's splendor. Unar, a determined but destitute young woman, escapes her parents' plot to sell her into slavery by being selected to serve in the Garden under the goddess Audblayin, ruler of growth and fertility. As a Gardener, she wishes to become Audblayin's next Bodyguard while also growing sympathetic towards Canopy's slaves. When Audblayin dies, Unar sees her opportunity for glory - at the risk of descending into the unknown dangers of Understorey to look for a newborn god. In its depths, she discovers new forms of magic, lost family connections, and murmurs of a revolution that could cost Unar her chance...or grant it by destroying the home she loves.
©2017 Thoraiya Dyer (P)2017 Macmillan Audio
"I am majorly impressed with Thoraiya Dyer's Crossroads of Canopy. A unique, gorgeous, and dangerous world, a stubborn female hero, and a writer to watch!" (Tamora Pierce)

It is with sadness and yet deep appreciation for a life well-lived that we honor one of IONS family of Circle Members, Anthony White, who passed away last week due to complications from leukemia.
IONS Blog
A sustainable presence on this planet will require changes in our human behaviors. To achieve true, lasting changes in behavior, it turns out, requires changing our worldviews so the new action becomes part of "who I am." But if you've ever tried to change a worldview or pattern of behavior in yourself or another person, you know it's quite an endeavor!
In honor of International Haiku Day, IONS staff members are sharing their noetic poetry.
Share your own noetic haiku in the Facebook comments!
I woke up in time
believing it to be so
forgetting I Am
As I sit here now
watching illusion playing
I know what is Real
Johnny Calvert
Edgar Mitchell, along with eleven other Apollo moonwalkers during six historic moon missions, helped change our perceptions of Earth. Suddenly, it was possible for humans to leave our planet and walk around and work on a different heavenly body. What an amazing feat.
Can we create an Artificial Intelligence that loves, unconditionally?
Dr. Julia Mossbridge explores this idea, in theory and practice. Hear about a new project, with some of the greatest minds in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), to actually research and ultimately develop A.I. with the welfare of humanity coded into its very heart.
With recent public concerns about the potential harms of A.I., Julia asks the opposite question: How can the intelligent systems we create most benefit humanity? And can we apply ancient wisdom to the design of such modern systems?
Science and magic are words that don't normally fit together, but that is exactly what IONS' chief scientist Dean Radin and master mentalist Alain Nu will be presenting at the upcoming IONS Conference! While magic has been more recently associated with fiction and entertainment, the esoteric traditions suggest that real magic has always existed and impacted our daily lives. Scientific research is gradually revealing that there is more to magic than just fantasy.
