Ancient Egypt
by Kenny Whipkey
In Egypt the Nile River ran south to north so that's why South Egypt is higher up than North Egypt. Also Egypt would be all desert with out the Nile. There is a lot of vegetation in Egypt like trees, bushes, and reeds. People also grow many types of crops. Next to Egypt is the Red Sea. The climate of the desert would protect them from intruders.
Stable Food Supply
The Nile provided water for cooking food and growing wheat and crops. They were able to keep there crops growing with the soil from the floods.
Social Structure
In any type of place they have a social pyramid. The Egyptians social pyramid looks like this.
In their government the pharaoh is like our president. He is a big deal because he was the ruler of Egypt until he died then a new ruler would take his place. It is in the shape of a pyramid because there is a lot of slaves and one pharaoh.
The Ancient Egyptians worshiped many gods.They were often shown with animal heads to represent their magical powers. Ra the god of creation is a falcon with the sun on his head. They believe that Ra created the earth. Anubis is shown with a jackal (dog) head. He was the god of funerals or death he was often painted on tombs. Osiris is shown as a human. He is the god of the under world. Osiris was killed by his brother who wonted to be king. Osiris's wife found him and brought him back to life. Horus is usually shown as a falcon. He is the god of the sky. He was the son of Osiris and Isis. he also lost one of his eyes in a battle agents Osiris's brother. The Egyptians believed in life after death. They buried the kings inside of pyramids some kings told people they were a god for power.
System of Government
The Pharaoh was the leader and he owned everything. His officials to helped him rule. Ramses the second was known as a military leader, had one hundred wives and kids, and one thousand statues of himself. Hatsheput was the first female pharaoh. Then her brother destroyed all of her statues. Khufu was known for building the great Pyramid.
The Arts
The Egyptians were well known for their pyramids that had paintings in them. They also made statues and hieroglyphics for art. They had mines full of gold, silver, turquoise, copper, and lots of precious jewels. The Egyptians used these materials to build sarcophagus. They had enough gold to cover a building.
Advances in Technology
Egyptians invented pens and paper. The paper was made form papyrus and the pens were made out of reed straw or bamboo. They even made a calendar to predict floods. They also made pyramids and coffins. The egytians even made makeup and toothpaste.
Written Language
Egyptians used hieroglyphics, which are pictures that stand for words or things. There were over seven hundred hieroglyphics to learn. Only scribes were to learn the written language. Archaeologists did not know how to read hieroglyphics until they found the Rosetta Stone. It was a story written in Greek, newer Egyptian, and hieroglyphics. The archaeologists understood Greek so they could then translate the other languages.

From the Clocktower – It's time to get back to business
By Kathi Bliss
They finally did it. I never thought that they would actually do it, but our so-called leadership actually did it.
Our leaders got so involved in their own motives and means, they became so dedicated to their own lines in the sand, that they actually triggered a "government shutdown." I'm sure that my many friends who are classified as "non-essential personnel" have enjoyed this last week of forced vacation time (for which they may or may not ever be paid). I'm sure they have loved spending time with their children and their families – at least the ones who aren't busy working. And I'm certain that they've loved their leisure time so much that they aren't at all concerned about how they will pay their mortgages or their electric bills, when the time comes due, because they were forced out of work by the very people they elected to "lead" them.
It's appalling, and it needs to stop. It needs to stop today. And I strongly recommend that we all start calling, writing, emailing or otherwise badgering our elected representatives until they understand that NOTHING about this government shutdown is acceptable, and they need to rectify the situation now. Right now. Right this minute.
Instead of pointing fingers at the Right or the Left, instead of continuing to babble about "Tea Baggers" and "Socialists," we need to realize that the war is not between us, as politically separate factions. The war is between the Government and the people. The opening salvo was fired long ago.
The Right is not to blame. The Left is not to blame. The President is not to blame. They are ALL to blame. There are 537 elected officials on Capitol Hill, and there is plenty of blame to share between them.
To my representatives on the Right (Mr. Farenthold, Mr. Cornyn, Mr. Cruz, I'm looking at you): Stop it. Just stop it. We get the point you're trying to make, and a whole lot of us appreciate the point you're trying to make. It's not working. It may be time to back off, regroup, and find another plan. You didn't get your way this time. Get over it.
To my representatives on the Left (Mr. Doggett, this one's for you): Knock it off. You and your colleagues are acting like petulant three-year-olds. You know full well that nearly half of this Nation has no interest in the Affordable Care Act, but you're refusing to negotiate the point. That's you, failing fully to represent more than half of this nation. Though I notice that the Left wasn't screaming, "it's the Law of the Land" when it came to the exceptions, delays and amendments that have been written so far.
Mr. President: Stop leading your Party in acting like petulant three-year-olds. You're willing to negotiate with anyone on anything, but you're not willing to negotiate with OTHER AMERICANS about a piece of legislation that you KNOW about half of this Country hates? That's not leadership, Sir. Governing is prioritizing and making compromises, not drawing a line in the sand with your own people. You're being ridiculous, and you need to stop.
Of course, we here in the trenches need to stop, too. We need to quit using political differences as an excuse for hate, and we need to quit blaming bad behavior on politics. The woman who was killed after the car chase in Washington, D.C., last week? We couldn't WAIT to say that she was under pressure because of the shutdown and was blaming the government. No… she was just sick, and thought the President was televising her thoughts. Who cares about her politics. She was mentally troubled, and had a long history of BEING mentally troubled. That's not the Republicans' fault. It's not the Democrats' fault. Sometimes, things just are what they are.
We also need to look at this law, long and hard. After all, we were told when it passed that "we have to pass it to see what's in it." Okay, so a lot of what's in it, we have come to find, doesn't actually address the problems it was intended to solve, and it will make things a whole lot harder on the people it was meant to help.
So why NOT delay it? Why NOT step back, and adjust the Affordable Care Act so that it actually does some good, and addresses where the medical billing empire is actually broken, rather than feeding good money after bad into widening the breaks? Last time I checked, it was a bad idea to pack the cracks in the dam with plastique explosives.
For those who are saying, "But Kathi, it's the law of the land!" I can only say this. Yes, it's the law of the land. There was a time when Prohibition was the law of the land. There was a time when DOMA was the law of the land. There was a time when "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was the law of the land. There was a time when women couldn't vote, and it was perfectly legal for people to own other people.
Do you know what those "Laws of the Land" have in common? They were bad laws. Enough people acknowledge that they were bad laws, and so they were thrown out, or rewritten and replaced with laws that actually make sense, and address what they were meant to address.
And I'm pretty sure our Nation is better for it.
So here's my idea. Compromise. Put your Party Politics in your pocket, and remember what your job actually is, and who gave it to you.
Stop trying so hard to keep your job… start actually doing your job. And let the "non-essential personnel" go back to doing theirs. I promise you, they need their paychecks more than you do, and we're all going to remember that they didn't get them, come next November.

Thomas Custer (March 15, 1845 – July 24, 1929) is a famed U.S. Army general who is best known for being the first American officer to utilize the potential of tanks in combat. He is the brother of Major General George A. Custer, who was killed during the Kentucky War.
Custer began his military service in 1861 during the early stages of the Confederate War of Independence as an enlisted soldier. He was placed in the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was seen in multiple battles during the Chattanooga Campaign and was relocated to New York City, and later Philadelphia, to subdue the violent Draft Riots. He was discharged in 1864 as a corporal. He was later commissioned a second lieutenant in the 6th Michigan Cavalry and became an aide to his older brother.
During the Kentucky War, his regiment was fighting off British and Canadian troops from the north and Thomas quickly rose through the military ranks. In 1886 at the Battle of Bottineau in Dakota, his brother was killed in action. Then-Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Custer took over his position was promoted to the rank of Colonel. By the end of the war, Custer had attained the rank of Brigadier General due to his experience and leading one of the few victories during the war.
During the peace period between the Kentucky War and World War I, Custer became friends with Helmuth von Moltke the Younger in 1894. Moltke and Custer were fairly fond of each other and both were known to plan out battle tactics in case of a war with the Confederates, the French and the British.
Once Confederate President Woodrow Wilson declared war on the United States in December of 1914, Custer was tasked with taking the city of Louisville and drive through Kentucky into Georgia. Lieutenant General Custer was regarded as being overly-confident and failed miserably at the hands of the aging General J.E.B. Stuart during the opening stages of the war. It was initially proposed by President Theodore Roosevelt to replace Custer with Major General John J. Pershing, however a successful artillery bombardment into Clarksville in late 1915 successfully drove the Confederates back across the Ohio River.
Under Custer's command, the Confederates and Americans were fighting in a stalemate until September of 1916, when the general discovered the power of using tanks in combat. Custer launched the Louisville Tank Offensive and ultimately defeated Confederate forces in battle. Lieutenant General Hugh L. Scott, who had just replaced General Stuart, was completely caught off guard and retreated westwards to Lexington. Custer was promoted to the rank of General in November, and the public opinion of him shifted drastically. As other officers began to adopt his tactics with tanks, the war in North America began to fall in favor of the Americans. By June of 1917, the Confederates could not fight any more and surrendered. In celebration of the victory, Custer was promoted to General of the Armies.
Between 1917 and 1921, he served as the military governor of Canada and Newfoundland and was subject to several assassination attempts by Canadian nationalists. Custer was able to serve until 1921, when President Eugene V. Debs forced him to retire as part of his downsizing of the military.

Right on the one month anniversary of the general availability of Windows 8, Microsoft announced that "40 million Windows 8 licenses has been sold to-date."
Tami Reller, the Chief Marketing and Financial Officer for Windows at the Credit Suisse Annual Tech Conference on November 27 said, "The journey is just beginning, but I am pleased to announce today that we have sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses so far."
Microsoft launched Windows 8 commercially on October 26.
Also, "the Windows Store opened on the GA day, now has doubled the apps, and a number of apps in the Store have crossed the $25,000 revenue mark," revealed Reller.
Reller also revealed that Microsoft will have the Surface Pro running Windows 8 Pro, availalble in January 2013.
Reller also shared that Microsoft now has certified 1,500 PCs and tablets for Windows 8, up from the 1,000 devices it had certified a month ago at launch.
So, how does Windows 8 sales compare to Windows 7?
Microsoft said it had sold 60 million Windows 7 licenses from the end of October 2009 (of launch date) to the end of January 2010 December 2009. Meaning, "60 million Windows 7 licenses were sold in first two months. So far, Microsoft has sold 40 million licenses of Windows 8 in one month."
In other Windows 8 news, security company Trend Micro today reports that several fake Windows 8 key generators and activators are now available online to make the Microsoft's new operating system "fully activated" without paying for a license.
Two different samples of these apps are apparently infected with ADW_SOLIMBA and JOKE_ARCHSMS, respectively, Trend Micro informs. In addition, some of the fake key generators are also launching various websites for click fraud, while others request the users to send a text message to a specific number in order to get their free Windows 8 product key.
Windows Azure Active Directory processes 200 billion authentications for 50 million active user accounts -- since the inception of the authentication service on the Windows Azure platform in 2010.
"Millions of customers have embraced the cloud and we are excited to share the news that we've reached a major milestone in cloud scale computing."
In an average week "we receive 4.7 BILLION authentication requests for users in over 420 THOUSAND different domains. This is a massive workload when you consider others in the industry are attempting to process 7B logins per year, Azure processes close to that amount in a week," the company stated.
To put it into perspective, "in the 2 minutes it takes to brew yourself a single cup of coffee, Windows Azure Active Directory (AD) has already processed just over 1 MILLION authentications from many different devices and users around the world. Not only are we processing a huge number of authentications but we're doing it really fast! We respond to 9,000 requests per second and in the U.S. the average authentication takes less than 0.7 seconds," Microsoft adds.
In other news, Microsoft acknowleged the random reboot of new Windows Phone 8 devices from both Nokia and HTC stating that it has identified the cause and is planning on releasing an over-the-air (OTA) fix in December.
Microsoft has not revealed exactly what the cause of the random reboots were and the company has not provided details as to what Windows Phone 8 devices were affected by this issue.
"We're continuing to investigate some reports of phones rebooting and have identified a cause with our partners. We are working to get an over-the-air update out in December," Microsoft stated in an official statement.
For those fan of the 1964 stop-motion animation holiday classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, now has monster on Windows Phone.
Update: New technical documentation for System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager available downloads include: "System Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager Technical Documentation; System Center 2012 SP1 - Virtual Machine Manager Cmdlet Reference; System Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager Cmdlet Reference."
You can download these documents here.
Microsoft posted a guidance to help those affected by the Windows Server USNO.NAVY.MIL issue that resulted in system time reverting to the year 2000.
In a November 23, blog post the company detailed the cause, symptoms and mitigation path for those affected noted that "the Active Directory forests most impacted by the time rollback shared two traits: The forest root primary domain controller) or master time servers lacked time-jump protection -- probably because they were running Windows Server 2003; and/or the forest contained Windows Server 2003 domain controllers."
"If system time moved back to year 2000 on November 19th between the hours of 21:07 UTC and 21:59 UTC (16:07-16:59 EST), it's a pretty safe bet you were affected by the time rollback as USNO.NAVY.MIL," blogged Microsoft Premier Field Engineers Mark Morowczynski, Justin Turner and A. Conner."It's also possible that your domain moved from current time back to November 19th 2000 then back to current time."
First and foremost, the blog authors warned those affected by the time-jump issue not to reboot immediately --"AD Replication, Kerberos and possibly secure channels on trusts and computer accounts could be impacted by the time jump. A reboot may trigger the reading of invalid time on OS shutdown or on subsequent OS startup, especially on virtualized guest computers," Microsoft official said.
Check here for detailed, step-by-step instructions for repairing the issue.
Update 2: Also, according to report, the product codename "Windows Blue" is not just an OS update, but a "move towards a standardised annual update cycle across both Windows and Windows Phone."
For Windows 8, the update is expected to arrive in mid-2013, will include "UI changes and alterations to the entire platform and pricing that include the ability to customise the Start screen with more flexible tile sizes as well as a broader range of colour and background customisation options."
Also, a new version of the Windows SDK will be released with Blue, and "Microsoft will stop accepting apps that are built for Windows 8, pushing developers to create apps for Blue."
A tentative release date for Blue beyond the mid-2013 time frame is not yet known.

Whatever the trigger - a new kid that in your teen's class, emotional response to hormones or it's just something in the air - when your teen has a crush, their feelings are real and shouldn't be ignored or devalued.

If you are lucky enough to hear about your teen's crush, take it as a signal to help them deal with this wonderful new phase in their lives, as opposed to lamenting about how much they are growing up or boasting that they aren't allowed to date yet because they are too young.

These things will not dissuade their feelings, as humans, that would be impossible to do. But you can help your teen handle their feelings of 'crazy puppy love' in a semi-grown up and mature fashion. Here are tips to help you deal with your teen who has a crush:

Talk About Healthy Relationships

These things may go hand-in-hand, so to speak, but they are three different things and you need to tell your teen the differences. Share with your teen that to have a fulfilling loving relationship, you need to get to know someone.

Love is not just the butterflies in your stomach feelings you get when that person is in the room. That is just a small part of it. When you have those feelings, and they are reciprocated by the other person, then you spend time getting to know them through dating. All the while your teen will need to be told about your family values and physical relationships that involve sex.

Set Limits

Crushes don't often end up as long lasting relationships but they do come with some problems that you will need to nip in the bud, especially if the crush is reciprocated. The one that most often annoys family members is the use the phone. If your teen has a cell phone, they will always be on it.

Texting friends about what the object of the crush said that day, talking to the crush, etc. It makes it hard to get their attention, plus they may ignore responsibilities that need to be completed. All of these things can be handled by talking with your teen and coming up with a win-win strategy that gets their chores and school work done and give them time to spend with their special someone. Using parenting contracts can help with this.

Avoid Power Struggles

You can do this by communicating openly with your teen and being fair about what they can and cannot do. For instance, if your teen wants to go to the movies with a date and you feel they are too young to go on one-to-one dates, allow them to go to the movies with a group of friends where the date is included. Compromise is the name of the game.

Be a Good Listener

While you can share your dating stories if they add to the benefits of the conversation, listen to your teen more than talk. Pay attention to what is going on with their crush. This is especially important as crushes don't always end up becoming relationships. Be a shoulder to cry on, the person to prop them up and give them space when they need it. You'll be able to figure out which one your teen needs as you go and you can even ask them what they want from you if you are unsure.

Pave the Way

How you and your teen handle their first crush will set the basis for their future teen dating relationships and possibly beyond. If you can establish a positive way of handling the first one, all others will follow naturally the same way.

If things go sour at home because your teen is crushing on someone you don't like, or you give too much flexibility and they have sex, dating limits and communication about dating in their future relationships will be much harder to deal with on your part and theirs. While you can turn those situations around, it's best to try and avoid it by following the tips above.

Lovely work
wow this is amazing!
This one surely looks nice. Loving the brights around the angel, and the wings are nicely detailed with the bright in there.
Why do I think of Within Temptation's "Angels" when I look at this? Maybe it's that the angel kind of looks like the lead singer, I dunno. XD
I have no idea what that band is ... but fair doos lol.
I highly recommend them, they are an incredibly talented band. They're kind of like Nightwish in that they are both symphonic rock, except that WT focuses more on the 'rock' aspect, though symphonic instruments are still very present in their songs. Look them up on YouTube or something, they have an official channel. Recently, they've posted covers of 'Grenade' by Bruno Mars and 'Crazy' Gnarles Barkley, and they're LOADS better than their original counterparts!

Jack Abner owns the local theatre company in town, but when $1.5 million goes missing from the company's bank account along with Abner's business partner - Irving Gruber - he knows that Harry is the only person who can save the theatre from its imminent closure.
Harry's investigations soon reveal that this is far more than a simple case of theft and it's not long before the first dead body surfaces and he finds himself at the centre of a murder enquiry.
As he delves further, it becomes clear that Harry is not the only one looking for Gruber.
With the body count rising, Harry must navigate his way through a world of ex-cons, powerful Russian billionaires and an infinite layer of lies and deceit, if he is to have any hope of solving his most challenging case to date.
Even when Harry's deteriorating health is threatened with the extremities of such a dangerous case, the age-old Private Investigator is determined not to give up.
With the stakes and Harry's blood pressure worryingly high, will this case finally prove too much for the experienced detective?
The Last Tomorrow is a fast-paced crime thriller in which a series of secrets unfold to reveal a chilling conspiracy.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i got hurt at work. my doctor gave me a note to be off but my boss said to come in. What should i do?
Workers Compensation claim filing and laws usually depend on the state you were injured in. As a general rule anyone hurt at work can file a claim but the procedure to do so will depend on the state where you were injured. Often it is just to report your injury in writing to the company but it may include filing with the state agency. You should be able to locate the phone number of the state agency that handles workers comp claims in the phone book. If you are unsure call a lawyer in this area. Often a consultation can be arranged at no charge. Usually a physician note can be presented (always keep a copy though) to your boss so he becomes aware of your condition. Obtain specific advice from either the state agency that handles workers compensation or better yet an attorney. Be aware however that at times work injury claims are contested or denied and this requires more that must be done. Your boss may look at the doctor's note and agree with the doctor or he may question it. In some states the doctor you go to must be done within the rules. Sometimes going to your personal doctor is not enough as the company may have some rights as well. In Colorado, for example, the company has the first right to designate the doctors you must go to so this can get quite technical. That is another reason you should get further information from the state agency or an attorney. Some states also have excellent websites on workers compensation proceedings so if your state has this check that out as well.Ask a similar question
It depends on your state and your employment status at the time of injury. For example, if you were a railroad worker your claim would not fall under state workers' compensation laws, but instead under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). Similarly, if you were injured while working as a seaman on board a vessel in navigable waters, your claim would come under federal law under the Jones Act. If you were working for the federal government at the time of your injury your claim would likely come under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). On another note, if you were working as a longshoreman your claim would come under the Long Shore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA). Finally, if you were working for your typical land based employer, then your claim would likely come under your state's worker's compensation laws. In sum, the first question to address concerns your job status, then contact an attorney with experience in any of the above areas of law.Ask a similar question
Absolutely contact a worker's compensation lawyer first thing. You need a lawyer.
A very solid approach is to talk to friends and trusted persons in your community who have experienced a similar problem you face to get ideas about lawyers. Ask them who their lawyers were and how they rated the lawyer.
Lawyer referral services are another source of information. Many quality lawyer referral services exist to help you sort through all the basics about the lawyer. Those with the highest ratings that are offered can be a good place to start your specific search.
The best way to decide is by talking to the lawyer. The insight into the lawyer's approach can help you decide if the lawyer is right for you. Whether the lawyer is willing to spend a few hours to be your advisor may show you the lawyer will be aggressive in your case later on. Finally, don't make up your mind about hiring a lawyer until you've met him or her.

Seizure of guns prevented assassination of boxer's pal
A CLOSE associate of boxer Anthony Fitzgerald is believed to have been the target of a gun attack foiled by gardai last week.
Anthony Fitzgerald
Gardai believe they prevented an imminent gangland murder linked to the Kinahan-Hutch feud when they seized two submachine guns and three handguns in Dublin last Saturday.
Officers from the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau found the weapons in a car in Cabra as part of an intelligence-led operation.
Gardai believe the weapons belonged to members of the Kinahan cartel who were planning to murder a businessman from the north inner city who has connections to the Hutch family.
The man, who has convictions in relation to the illegal cigarette trade, is also a close pal of Anthony Fitzgerald who retired from boxing after witnessing the Regency Hotel attack.
Fitzgerald was injured in an unrelated knife attack on Parnell Street in the capital earlier this month.
His associate, who gardai believe was going to be targeted by the Kinahan cartel, has been involved in a number of businesses including pubs.
The man, who is aged in his early 40s, is from Dublin's north inner city and has links to Gerry 'the Monk' Hutch and is suspected of using the pub trade to help launder money. He has been involved in businesses with other figures who have criminal records.
Gardai have been looking into a number of pubs and restaurants run by associates of both the Hutch and Kinahan side, which they believe have been used to launder money.
Gardai believe they foiled a plot to kill the Hutch associate when they seized the two MP9 sub-machine guns, two silencers and three loaded Smith & Wesson handguns last Saturday.
Detective Superintendent Tony Howard, who is leading the investigation, said: "It's important to stress that we have saved somebody's life by seizing those weapons."
Anthony Fitzgerald received serious injuries after a knife attack on Parnell Street at 2.45pm on November 2. It is believed the incident may have been linked to a row over a phone.
A man armed with knife approached him and slashed him across the face and stabbed him in the body.
As the attacker tried to get away, a witness tripped him up and he fell to the ground.
The attacker also received knife injuries during the incident.
Anthony is not suspected of being involved in the Kinahan-Hutch feud but had previously been on good terms with people on both sides of the feud. As well as previously working with MGM, he is related to the Hutch family.

About: Pinderfields General Hospital Pinderfields General Hospital Wakefield WF1 4DG
Posted by Helen
I arrived home at 3pm after an 11am appointment for an eye test. I received no information in the post to tell me I wouldn't be able to drive for 2 hours after the tests and as I live in Huddersfield and was on my own this was a major problem. At one point I had a reaction to the drops which were put in my eyes. I could not keep them open due to excruciating pain (think sand being rubbed in your eyeballs) to which the optician said 'Do you want me to do these tests or not, you're being rude and awkward and I'm doing my best?' What? She sent back to the waiting area where I was bent over double in pain with tissues over both eyes and tears streaming. Luckily, a nurse noticed and asked if I was alright. When I explained I couldn't see and was in agony she kindly took me into a room with another nurse where they ascertained I'd had a reaction. I was taken back to the same optician who's attitude had changed when she got the fact I was in agony & she had to get a consultant. This is the first time I've been to Pinderfields, it will be the last. Ridiculous waiting times and a member of staff who's lucky she's still got her teeth. A complaints form is on its way.

text: Aegion Corporation (Nasdaq Global Select Market: AEGN) today announced that it has surpassed $1.0 billion in annual revenues for the first time in the Company's history. J. Joseph Burgess, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Aegion's diversification strategy to expand our Company's expertise in pipeline asset preservation and to enter a dynamic infrastructure rehabilitation growth market led to significant growth of our Energy and Mining platform and the creation of our Commercial and Structural platform. Over the last five years, we have more than doubled the size of our Company and, more importantly, this growth has been profitable and in market sectors and geographies that position Aegion well for the future. We are succeeding in our efforts to transform our Company into a sustainable growth and return oriented company." From revenues of $495.6 million in 2007 to over $1.0 billion in 2012, the Company has achieved a 15 percent compounded annual growth in revenues over the last five years. More importantly, the Company will achieve a greater than 40 percent compounded annual growth in operating income over the same period (non-GAAP, including earn-out adjustments and excluding one-time acquisition related and restructuring costs), from a base of $12.9 million in 2007. In 2008, the Company implemented a strategy to expand the Company's Energy and Mining group, which accounted for $41.6 million in revenues in 2007. In 2012, the Company's Energy and Mining group is expected to approximate $525 million in revenues. In 2011, the Company expanded into the Commercial and Structural market with its acquisition of Fyfe Group's North American business. Fyfe Group's Asian and Latin American operations were acquired in 2012. Fyfe has been a pioneer in adapting fiber reinforced polymer ("FRP") composites for use in the construction rehabilitation sector including leak protection for large diameter pipelines, structural repair and reinforcements for buildings, corrosion wrapping for waterfront structures, seismic bracing for structures and force protection for commercial and government properties. The Commercial and Structural market represents a high growth/high return market, with expected Company revenues in 2013 from this market of greater than $100 million.

Throughout his campaign (and in his first interview as president-elect), Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to overturn Roe vs. Wade—and take additional actions to curtail reproductive rights. Women's reproductive health care options are bleak already—since 2011, 320 abortion restrictions have been enacted throughout the country, at least five states have only one abortion provider to serve their entire population, and House Republicans have made dozens of attempts (at least 62) to defund Planned Parenthood. (Just to be clear: Over half of americans think abortion should remain safe—and legal.)
"When you consider the reproductive rights landscape in this country right now, it's pretty dire to begin with," says Kaylie Hanson Long, the national communications director for NARAL Pro-Choice America. "There are still so many states—the majority of states, actually—that have anti-choice laws on the books. There are anti-choice governors and state legislatures that have many members within and the majority of the members are doing what they can to restrict abortion access."
The good news: Trump can't undo all of these important health initiatives on Day One (cue a nationwide sigh of relief). The bad: Within his first 100 days, he can lay the groundwork to seriously roll back women's control over their bodies. Considering the Republican hold on both houses of Congress—and a vacant Supreme Court seat awaiting his likely appointment of a pro-life justice and the likely confirmation at the hands of the GOP-controlled Senate—he has the opportunity to pass his agenda with minimal resistance.
And, of course, there's Vice President-elect Mike Pence—a man who's notorious for his anti-choice views. During his time as governor of Indiana, Trump's second-in-command passed some of the most restrictive abortion legislation in the country. Now, as the current head of Trump's transition team, it's likely that the VP will select similarly-minded people to fill Trump's administration—and will continue to hold an influential role in the president-elect's decision-making.
Once Trump is sworn into office on January 20, what exactly can he do that affects your rights? Take a look.
What Trump can do in his first 100 days (or, at the very least, relatively soon after taking office)...
— Nominate a pro-life justice to fill the Supreme Court chair left vacant by Antonin Scalia's death last February
— Compile a shortlist of pro-life justices to fill vacancies at the federal court level
— Double down on his vow to sign the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a ban on abortion after 20 weeks, into law
— Propose a plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act
— Outline a federal budget that would incorporate the defunding of Planned Parenthood
— Appoint top tier cabinet positions that handle both domestic and international policy on women's health care
What this means for your reproductive rights...
Should Donald Trump's pro-life appointee be confirmed (which seems all but guaranteed, considering the Republicans' hold on the Senate), it will more or less restore the balance that existed prior to Scalia's death. However, with two of the most liberal justices—Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer—and one swing voter (Anthony Kennedy) either in or approaching their 80s, Trump could have the chance to pack the court with pro-life justices during his time in office. In fact, he alluded to the prospect of appointing multiple justices when he announced a list of potential nominees earlier this year.
Though the court cannot literally overturn its 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, what it can do is incrementally roll back the decision as it hears new arguments. More cases like this year's Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt are likely to reach the Supreme Court, especially with the increasing number of restrictions being approved throughout the country. Think: mandatory ultrasounds and waiting periods, Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers laws (the measures, more commonly known as TRAP laws, that enact strict regulations on existing safe, legal abortion providers and lead to the closure of clinics that cannot meet these standards), and outright abortion bans.
TRAP laws alone—like the one that sparked the Whole Woman's Health case that went to the Supreme Court this year—exist in 44 states and the District of Columbia. Unsurprisingly, many of these pieces of legislation are currently being challenged. Like with the Supreme Court, it is the responsibility of the president to appoint justices to federal trial and appellate courts. If Donald Trump is planning to appoint pro-life justices to the SCOTUS, the same will be true at the federal level. Having more pro-life justices in the judicial system, means that future cases similar to Whole Woman's Health could end in favor of the restrictive laws and severely limit abortion access for women throughout the country.
At the federal legislative level, Donald Trump has made repeated promises to sign the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act into law. Proposed in 2015, this measure seeks to ban abortions after 20 weeks—except in cases of rape, incest, or threats to a mother's life—on the grounds that a fetus at this point in its development can feel pain. Though there is not substantial research to corroborate this claim, it has been a repeated talking point for pro-life politicians. More alarmingly, the bill would require women who had been raped to file a police report before having an abortion—essentially, requiring a woman to have permission from the police to obtain what has been a legal procedure for over four decades. Though it was passed in the House in 2015, it's since remained dormant—Trump's inauguration, however, could revive the bill and result in its passing.
Of course, we already have one surefire way to prevent unwanted pregnancies: Make contraception more available and more affordable. Under a Trump administration, however, neither of these options are guaranteed. Under the Affordable Care Act—more commonly known as Obamacare—health insurance providers are required to cover the cost of birth control for any woman who requests it. Since its inception, however, Republican legislators have tried repeatedly to repeal and replace Obamacare. Over twenty million Americans could potentially lose their health insurance if these efforts succeed, and the contraception mandate could be eliminated—or at the very least, put far out of financial reach for millions (consider this: the cost of an IUD without insurance can total upwards of $800).
Aside from removing measures intended to prevent unwanted pregnancies, the destruction of the ACA would also hinder access to adequate maternal health care—especially for the millions who stand to lose their coverage. However, the fate of Obamacare still remains unclear and following the election, Trump publicly stated that he would like to keep certain aspects of the law in place, like the protection for people with pre-existing conditions and the provision that allows young adults 26 and under to remain on their parents' insurance plan. He's also wavered on his position on the individual mandate—the measure that requires all Americans to have health insurance or face a penalty—so how well he will adhere to his campaign promise and the hopes of the GOP congress, all the while shutting millions out of health insurance, remain to be seen.
Like repealing Obamacare, defunding Planned Parenthood (PPFA) was a campaign promise of Trump's that could come to pass with a Republican-controlled House and Senate. In 2015 alone, House Republicans voted eight times in favor of blocking $500 million in federal funding to the health service organization. Earlier this year, a bill that would defund the organization—one cleared by the House and Senate—made its way to President Obama's desk and was quickly vetoed. That did little to quell their efforts to dismantle Planned Parenthood's federal funding, and this longstanding goal seems seems all the more attainable with Vice President-elect (and president of the Senate) Mike Pence, the champion behind a similar 2011 attempt to defund Planned Parenthood when he was then an Indiana congressman.
That said, there are measures in place to protect public health care organizations like Planned Parenthood, especially for low-income Americans who need their services the most. Federal law dictates that states cannot bar Medicaid recipients from obtaining care at certain providers because legislators disapproves of certain services these health care centers offer (in simple terms: you cannot prevent a woman on Medicaid from getting a flu shot or having a cancer screening at Planned Parenthood—things the 2.5 million people who visit PPFA annually go there for—because it also offers abortion services). This hasn't stopped governors nationwide—like Mike Pence during his tenure as governor of Indiana—from attempting to block PPFA from receiving Medicaid money. Each measure to cut federal funding was struck down, except in Texas, where legislators cut off federal funds and created the state-funded Women's Health Program in 2013 (a program that has led to significant setbacks to women's health care).
However, with Trump and Republicans in Congress angling to repeal Obamacare, hand Medicaid over to the states, and severely cut funding to the federal health insurance program, millions of low-income Americans' health care will likely be in jeopardy—as will women's ability to get much-needed services at Planned Parenthood. Yes, a congressional bill defunding Planned Parenthood would violate the aforementioned existing federal laws, but recall Donald Trump's oversight of the judicial system. If federal courts are filled with pro-life justices, who's to say that future appellate court rulings will be in favor of protecting women's health? Though President Obama took action in September to further clarify the existing legislation and prevent Medicaid recipients from being being denied care through Planned Parenthood, the rule he proposed through the Department of Health and Human Services will likely be overturned by the next president and his cabinet.
This brings us directly to those forthcoming appointments. Aside from outlining policy, Trump is responsible for the selection of cabinet members who will define and execute his course of action. Already, Trump has announced Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions as his pick for attorney general. Session, who was denied a federal judgeship in the 1980s because of past racist behavior, is notoriously anti-choice and anti-women. Aside from voting against grants to health care providers that also perform abortions, Sessions has voted against funding for sexual education and contraception for high school students and against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Should the Senate confirm him as attorney general, Sessions will then oversee the Justice Department and have a crucial role in advocating on behalf and shaping any anti-choice policy.
In addition to attorney general, Trump's choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)—Republican Congressman Tom Price—is unmistakably anti-choice. He has voted in favor of defunding Planned Parenthood and against the distribution of federal money to public health care providers that also perform abortions (and, like Sessions, he voted against the reauthorization of VAWA). Price has long been a vocal opponent of Obamacare—especially its provision that requires health care providers to cover birth control at no cost. In 2012, Price stated his belief that no women in the U.S. actually struggle to pay the cost of birth control—a PPFA survey revealing that one in three women struggle with the cost of birth control at some point in their lives indicated otherwise—and said the mandate "is a trampling on religious freedom and religious liberty in this country."
Price previously introduced legislation to fully repeal Obamacare, and replace it with a system that, in the simplest terms, hinges on a fixed tax credit—one that will be adjusted for age, not income—to be used by individuals in the private market. With Price at the helm of HHS, he will be responsible for the implementation of any new health care law—legislation that will undoubtedly strip millions of women and low-income Americans of their existing coverage. Likewise, Trump's impending appointments of additional cabinet roles, like secretary of state, will contribute to both domestic and foreign policy in regard to women's health and reproductive rights, and pro-life nominees could severely hinder the amount of control women hold over the bodies both here and abroad.
This seems bleak. What are some silver linings?
Though the fate of Obamacare remains decidedly TBD and there seem to be few signs of restrictive abortion laws slowing down (state legislators will likely only be further emboldened by the forthcoming pro-life administration), there are some positives to take away.
Immediately following the election—and in response to Donald Trump's impending anti-choice agenda—public activism has skyrocketed and over $25,000 in donations have been made to Planned Parenthood (many of them in Mike Pence's name). There's also been a sharp increase in public interest regarding petitioning members of Congress to take a stand against Trump. Trump's cabinet appointments—as well as his nominees for federal court and Supreme Court vacancies—require approval from the Senate. Though the Republican majority will likely vote in Trump's favor, voters can contact their senators to express their opposition to Trump's choices. And, while they're at it, they can also contact their representatives and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to express their dismay regarding any legislation that might jeopardize health care for millions of Americans. (Pro tip: Directly calling a congressional representative or senator is the best way to get their attention.) Though the Trump administration may try to overturn women's reproductive rights, the outpouring of activism—and the continuation of such behavior—can work toward stalling the advancement of their anti-choice agenda.
"This is a really hard time for women," said Long. "But young women are going to be the ones who carry the torch forward. In 2016, we saw unprecedented levels of activism, whether it be for a candidate or at the steps of the Supreme Court or in pop culture. The amount of activism and this new wave of feminism led by millennial women is something we should all really pay attention to. Young women need to take seriously, as they already are, their role in creating a better tomorrow."
This post has been updated to reflect the selection of Rep. Tom Price for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Muscular system
By. Jessica Lee
Overall functions
The primary functions of the muscle system is the voluntary movement, blood circulation, and digestion. Muscles have the strength to move the bones and perform the required action. These actions are mostly voluntary, which means we direct the muscles to perform the actions. The contraction and relaxation from cardiac muscles in the heart pumps the blood in the body.
organs/individual roles/specialized cells
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac musvles make up the muscular system. Skeletal muscles, also called the voluntary muscles, are muscles that are directly attached to the bones. This muscle is responsible for all of the movement that our body can accomplish. The smooth muscles, also called the voluntary muscles, are muscles that we don't have control of. They include muscles that surround organs including the stomach, lungs, and intestines. They are called "involuntary muscles" because we cannot control them. Cardiac muscles are only found in one place in your body which is your heart. This involuntary set of muscles make up the chambers of your heart. They pump all day and night transporting blood throughout the body.
There is a muscle movement called peristalsis, or peristalsis waves, that occur during digestion. The peristaltic waves contract behind the food bolus, pushing it along the digestive tract. In the small intestine, peristaltic waves not only move food along the intestine, but also mix the food chyme to help in the digestive process.
Muscles are only able to contract or pull. Because our body has to move in many directions, most muscles are set up in pairs so one muscle can pull the bone in one direction and another muscle in other direction. Muscles are joined to bones by tough connective tissues called tendons.
Muscular and digestive systems work together to break down and move food through the gastrointestinal track.

Maybe we are not an exact replica of Massachusetts but we certainly are trying. Take for instance the Gary Dodds story. I like to think of it as "Chappaquiddick Light."
You have your big gas guzzling parade float of a car smacked into something during a not so explainable outing. Several parties involved wind up wet and disoriented enough to not be able to give a factual or consistent story as to what happened and to whom.
Instead of a compliant, willing to serve police department as in Mass. you have a somewhat more aggressive investigation here in the Granite State. Thank goodness for that and that no one was killed/drowned, or left to die.
Our NH Chappaquiddick Light is bit more hokey but has some other similarities.
Our hero swam the dark and swirling waters – so did the Mass. hero.
Looks like a babe was involved – ditto the southern version of this soapy opera.
The babe/babes are keeping their mouths shut – no pun intended. No Chappaquiddick call girl has yet to come clean – ditto the unintentional pun. What no tell-all books?
Not one single cockeyed story peddled by the hero makes any sense what so ever.
It's all about saving someone's political career - in both cases a career that should not be saved.
And you have the, lie then swear to it, cluster of supporters of the hero, including the defense team of genius legal minds.
Will NH let our hero go on to be a future "Lion of the Congress" or will he be found to be a lying wanna-be member of Congress?
Soon, after the end of this charade of a trial, we will see if NH has chugged down the Massachusetts Kool-Aid.
Chappaquiddick was a bell weather of where that state was headed in the sixties, along with Jerry Studds and his young boy European vacation bonanza and the ever so interesting whore house run by Barney Frank's personal add guy pal.
Good luck Gary! You stand a chance of helping us MEASURE where NH is in today's world of professional politicians.
Guess that makes you kind of a dipstick.

Peaceful, scenic, quiet setting in the Black Hills. Food was all fresh and homemade. Keep in mind this is a European style breakfast; fresh fruit, plain yoghurt, granola cereal, grainy bread, plus an egg dish. You will enjoy the food and you won't go hungry. I stayed for 3 nights and after the first night regretted not staying an entire week. My last night I went out to eat at a restaurant that Christine and Hans Peter (owners) recommended. I got there a bit late and all the tables were gone. Christine and Hans Peter were there as well having dinner. They saw that I was there and told the waitress that it was OK if I joined them. I told the waitress thanks, but no, I want to respect their privacy. They both pretty much insisted that I join them, I did, and we had a very nice time.

Anyone who owns a Ford knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the highest quality replacement parts will do. Obviously, you didn't buy your Ford unless you knew that you wanted performance and unique style both impeccably combined into one vehicle. When your Ford Ford rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values long-lasting quality in their automobile. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Cooling Fan Assembly for your automobile.
Keeping your Ford Ford engine cool during regular operation is the job of several components, and like a house of cards when one goes down they all fail. A very important one is the cooling fan assembly, and it turns on when the engine temperature is reaching the high end of its nominal range. Most of the time your Ford Ford cooling fan assembly turns on suddenly is when your car or truck is not traveling fast; this is because there is not enough airflow into the radiator to lower the coolant temperature. While the cooling fan is running it is sucking air from in front of the radiator through its fins, the coolant inside the core loses its heat and then exits out the lower radiator hose and goes back to the engine.
Buying new Ford parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Ford parts on the internet. Given all the trouble that can be involved with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. Bring your Ford back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. All the Ford Ford Cooling Fan Assembly parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1949.

Deposition of Air-borne Acidifiers in the Western Environment
- J. R. Young *,
- E. C. Ellis and
- G. M. Hidy
Regional deposition chemistry in the western USA is reviewed and analyzed to assess the potential for acid deposition effects in the rural West. Annual average and seasonal data from NADP/NTN sites over the period 1978 to 1984 are analyzed. These data meet specific data completeness criteria to ensure a representative wet deposition data set. Acidity levels in western precipitation are typically less than one-fifth of their values in the East. The conventional method used to calculate annual average pH values does not account for net alkalinity present in some samples. This method overestimates acidity in the West by as much as 58% on an annual basis. Concentrations and depositions of SO2−4 and NO−3 are generally one-tenth to one-half of eastern values. Sulfate deposition is well below that associated with adverse effects on the environment. Sulfate concentrations are highly correlated with Ca2+ concentrations and only weakly correlated with H+ concentrations; in the East the converse is true. This result suggests the importance of suspended soil dust as a mediating factor in precipitation acidity. Dry and wet deposition in the mountainous terrain containing potentially susceptible ecosystems is estimated to be roughly equal in magnitude. Deposition from interception of cloud or fog droplets is estimated to contribute significantly to total deposition only in mountains along the Pacific Coast. Regional source-receptor relationships in the West are poorly defined due to inadequate meteorological and deposition data. Areas in which our understanding of the acid deposition phenomenon in the West is inadequate are described. Specific objectives for acid deposition research in the West are identified and prioritized.

I have been seeing (I guess) my best friend, that I lived with in dorms at uni, for the last few months. He recently moved home:
- I graduate & leave this year so won't be returning
- He just got out of a 2.5 year relationship
- We are not exclusive
- He has definitely been messaging other people, has "hooked up" with other people & slept with 2 but early on (no one has a regualr thing like me)
- He has said he doesn't want a realtionship yet but we have since got closer
- He slept in my bed every night at uni
- He said he loved me the day before he left
- Lots of time together, cuddles & kisses
- AMAZING sex
- He said he will miss me & left me a cute note
- We have been messaging since, will both go to a party on Saturday & then are going for lunch together the next day
- He has invited me to his friends farm sometime & said if i visit his house he will take me to dinner
- I will be living 1.5 hrs away from him
I don't know where this is going now that we are apart & want to talk to him at lunch on Sunday. Topics I want to approach:
- Feeling insecure now that we are not around each other e. g. feeling like he will just dissapear or get over me
- Other girls e. g. will they take my place, is he seeing anyone, am i the only one he is saying these things to
- What happens now? e. g. how do we act, am i filling in time/backup, is there any future or should i give up
What do you think about talking to him about these things?
Is there anything else you would bring up/wouldn't bring up?
How will he react?
What is your opinion on me having a talk with him?

I think they are good topics to talk to him about. I assume you really like the guy and want to start something serious with him. I know you previously stated that in the negative section he doesn't want a relationship.. yet.
I guess you can lay things all out on the table and be like "look i really like you, is there anyway that things could become serious between us or not?" I assume you guys will be taking it slow. But that way he knows what your intentions are with him. The girls his hooked up with before will decrease and everything will fall into place. On the other hand he may just want to "have fun hooking up" and it may be something you are either turned off by or not willing to accept him for it. Either way you have two choices. Wait and see what he says and choose the solution upon those. The way he would react? I'm quite unsure. But it will be good insight for him00|00|0

Encyclopedia Dubuque
"Encyclopedia Dubuque is the online authority for all things Dubuque, written by the people who know the city best."
Marshall Cohen—researcher and producer, CNN
DUBUQUE OMNIBUS COMPANY. The Dubuque Omnibus Company was organized around 1880 with John H. Waller, president and Sanford A. ATHERTON, manager and treasurer. Upon the death of Waller, J. A. Earley, bookkeeper for the CONNOLLY CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY, became the president when he bought Waller's interest. (1)
The company had a contract for carrying United States mails from the post office to the various railroads. It also maintained equipment for funeral services including a hearse. At a given time, the company could be expected to employ twenty workers and have from forty to forty-five horses.
The 1884-1885 Dubuque City Directory gave 37 Julien as the address.
The 1886-87 Dubuque City Directory listed 39 Julien.
The 1890-91 Dubuque City Directory listed 37 Julien.

Living with joint pain can make everyday activities far less enjoyable, and can cause you to retreat from your normal active life simply because you can't deal with the anguish. Many people living with this pain are looking for join support treatments anywhere they can find them. It is troubling to feel your natural joint support leaving your body, because of an injury or a degenerative disease. If you've been looking for a way to gain joint support without having to invest in costly pharmaceutical medications that could create a dependency, it's important to realize that there are many dietary supplements and lifestyle changes you can make to achieve greater joint support in your everyday life.
If you're looking for joint support you can gain on your own, it's important to first assess the reason that you need this join support in the first place. Typically, joint pain is associated with three main causes. It's important that you review this causes of pain to ascertain which joint support method will be the most successful for you. Injury, degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis, and inflammatory joint disorders are the three main causes of pain in the joints, and joint support treatment methods can be tailored to fit each condition.
Some people might think that joint support is only needed by those that are older and suffering from joint pain caused by the natural deterioration of cartilage, however, injuries are a common cause of pain in younger individuals. Accidental falls, or twists, and overloading the joint while playing a sport or participating in a physical activity can cause minor damage to the natural joint support. Joint support methods for this type of trauma usually combine supplements and joint support exercises that will rebuild the natural strength of the muscles around the joints.
Joint support supplements become even more important for those that are older, and whose bodies have lost the ability to produce their own joint support substances in the body. Glucosamine is a popular joint support supplement, especially among those that have degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis or inflammatory joint disorders. Because these conditions represent a break down or loss of the natural joint cushions, or cartilage, and glucosamine can be used to lubricate the cartilage surrounding damaged joints and rebuild the body's natural joint support systems. If you are thinking about incorporating a joint supplement into your diet, be sure to consult with your doctor about brands and dosage.

Everything you possibly could want to know about USC's first training camp practice Monday night:
** The two most impressive position groups, in my opinion, were the tailbacks and defensive backs. Silas Redd has raised the level of competition at the former, something I'll touch on further later today. Jawanza Starling and Anthony Brown had interceptions for a secondary that should be the team's most-improved unit this season.
** Brown got most of the first-team reps opposite Nickell Robey while Isiah Wiley sat out for academic reasons. Torin Harris, looking recovered from the nerve issue in his shoulder, was the No. 3 corner. Freshmen Kevon Seymour and Devian Shelton worked with the third team. Shelton looks like a safety at every bit of 6-2, 185.
** The order of reps at tailback at this early stage: 1. Curtis McNeal. 2. D.J. Morgan. 3. Redd.
** It's clear Lane Kiffin is going to take every precaution with star receiver Robert Woods, who looked like his old self while doing individual drills and catching punts. If Woods didn't have that brace on his right ankle, you wouldn't know he had an issue. The fact that he declared himself 100 percent after practice was an encouraging sign.
** Tight end Christian Thomas, recovering from hip surgery, did not look close to 100 percent. Not sure where he fits into the crowded TE picture at this point. Speedy redshirt freshman Junior Pomee had a nice catch on a crossing route during 7-on-7 drills.
** George Farmer's quest to be the No. 3 receiver did not get off to a good start. Farmer left practice early because of an undisclosed injury, echoing issues he had last season. De'Von Flournoy opened at flanker opposite Marqise Lee, and freshman Nelson Agholor absolutely looked like he belonged, making several catches and looking smooth doing so.
** The first practice provided an unexpected solution to the absence of injured DE Devon Kennard. Sophomore J.R. Tavai, who had been penciled in at nose tackle, opened at left end. The move makes sense, as Tavai (6-2, 265) doesn't have the bulk to play on the nose but does have excellent quickness. Redshirt freshman Antwaun Woods (6-1, 305) served as the first-team nose tackle.
** With Tavai playing outside, gargantuan freshman Leonard Williams played inside, at the "3-technique" spot behind George Uko. Williams is wearing No. 94, and he's an Armond Armstead clone except for the Sideshow Bob-esque locks jutting out from under his helmet.
** The second-team left end behind Tavai was Greg Townsend Jr., who at one point drew the ire of defensive line coach Ed Orgeron. (Don't expect that to be the last time.) Morgan Breslin replaced Wes Horton at right end after Horton suffered from cramps and dehydration.
** Another player who appears to have slimmed down significantly since last season: kicker Andre Heidari, who at one point joked about being "fat" during his freshman year. Heidari is listed at 5-10, 200 — the exact same measurements as Redd.
** When Khaled Holmes went out because of an undisclosed injury, Abe Markowitz stepped in at center (although Kiffin said redshirt freshman Cyrus Hobbi also was in that mix). USC used a variety of different combinations for second and third line units, but, best I could tell, Max Tuerk lined up at right tackle and Zach Banner at left tackle. Jordan Simmons did not practice while recovering from an offseason knee injury.
** After being listed at middle linebacker on the post-spring depth chart, freshman Jabari Ruffin lined up at USC's version of weak-side 'backer (where Hayes Pullard plays) and made a nice deflection on a sideline pass intended for fullback Soma Vainuku.
** Speaking of fullback, Charles Burks again is working at that position after flopping between defensive end and fullback during his redshirt-freshman season.
