Texans vs. Patriots: 5 Things Houston Must Do to Upset New EnglandJanuary 10, 2013
Texans vs. Patriots: 5 Things Houston Must Do to Upset New England
The Houston Texans and New England Patriots are meeting for the second time in just over a month, and Houston would like this matchup to end differently than the last one.
Not too much has changed since the Patriots bullied the Texans on Monday Night Football back in December.
Six weeks ago, Houston was on its way to a dream season, but it has taken the wrong fork in the road down the stretch.
Instead of a comfy rematch with the slumping Baltimore Ravens, Houston fiddled away the top seed in the AFC and its punishment is a return trip to the house of horrors that is Foxboro, Mass.
Are the Texans doomed to another public flogging followed by a long offseason of hard questions and what ifs?
Is there anything they can do to turn the tables on the Pats and advance to the AFC Championship game?
Of course there is.
Here are five ways the Texans can knock off New England and keep their title hopes alive.
J.J. Watt Must Cause a Turnover
In the first meeting, Watt was the only Texan to make any significant dent on the New England attack.
That's no surprise. Watt has been carrying a soft Texans defense around for the past two months.
Watt came under unnecessary fire as part of Dan Shaughnessy's insane anti-Texans screed in the Boston Globe this week.
Shaughnessy accused Watt of being a "zero" in the first meeting.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Watt was completely disruptive as he always is. He was the highest-rated Texans defender by Pro Football Focus that night. He didn't have a game for the ages, but there's every indication that Watt did damage.
He had four hits on Tom Brady. Brady typically doesn't get hit on that many times at ladies night, let alone in a game.
In the rematch, Watt will have to do more than just play his normal-level good game. He's going to have to do something to tilt the field.
The Patriots are vastly more talented and skilled than the Texans defense which has been strictly mediocre for the last two months.
Watt is the great equalizer, however, and if he can have a standout game, it could generate the turnovers the Texans need to stay close.
Arian Foster Must Punish the Patriots
Foster was fantastic against Cincinnati in the Wild Card Game, and the Texans need another outsized effort from him if they want to stay alive.
One of the best ways to quantify the difference between the Pats and the Texans is points per drive.
The Patriots score 2.82 points every time they get the ball.
The Texans score 1.96 points every time they get the ball.
That's a difference of nearly a point per possession on average.
Whenever you get a point disparity of that magnitude, the only solution is to limit the number of possessions. If each team sees the ball 14 or 15 times in the game, New England is going to win.
Houston's job is to shorten the game and increase the variance. The fewer the possessions, the less likely it is that the Pats achieve their normal output.
Ideally, the Texans would like this to be an eight-possession game.
Enter Foster. He only had 46 rushing yards in the first game, and that included a 15-yard run. On his other 14 attempts, he picked up just 31 yards.
That's a recipe for long third downs and quick punts.
The Safeties Must Stay Disciplined
In the first meeting, Glover Quin and Danieal Manning were torched by the Patriots receivers.
Quin has played well this season and was a star in the win over the Bengals.
Against the Pats, however, he had his worst game of the season. He gave up a pair of long receptions, including a touchdown.
Manning is a bigger worry still. His play has tailed off dramatically over the second half of the season and the only word to describe him right now is bad. Of course, he also had his worst game of the season against the Patriots, also surrendering a touchdown throw.
Especially with the return of Rob Gronkowski, the safeties are going to have to be disciplined. The Patriots will pound with their underrated run game and take big shots.
Quin and Manning must stay disciplined and force the Pats into long drives.
It's nearly impossible to keep the Patriots down forever, but if the Texans can limit possessions, they can increase their odds of being close at the end of the night.
A Third Receiver Must Emerge
The Patriots have a top-10 run defense, so the Texans are going to have to pass at some point.
Unfortunately, they simply aren't built to exploit New England's great weakness. The Pats have a thin secondary and give up too many big plays to third and fourth wideouts.
That doesn't do the Texans much good.
They struggle to find two, let alone three quality receivers.
Part of the reason they struggle to score at the same rate as other elite teams is that they've been saddled with Kevin Walter as a second receiver.
Yes, Andre Johnson was his typical fantastic self, but after him, the yards dry up.
Owen Daniels should frolic against the Pats who struggle with tight ends, but four of the Texans' top six pass-catchers play positions other than wide receiver.
Walter did manage to stop his five-year trend of declining numbers by posting virtually the same stats in 2012 as 2011. Unfortunately for Houston, 2.6 catches and 32.4 yards a game isn't going to strike fear in the heart of any coordinator.
All year, fans have been waiting for someone to emerge as a third receiver, but the unholy triumvirate of DeVier Posey, Keshawn Martin and Lestar Jean have combined for 22 catches and 323 yards.
In other words, all put together they don't total James Casey's production.
The big plays and points are going to have to come from someone. There will be a point in the game where someone gets single coverage and will be asked to make a big catch.
He'd better make it, or everyone can start setting tee times early.
Gary Kubiak Must Take Chances
There is no bigger mismatch, including at quarterback, than the one between Kubiak and Bill Belichick in this game.
Enough has already been written about Kubiak's ridiculous philosophies of protect the field goal at all costs.
He simply can't play for three in this game.
In the first matchup, Kubiak actually did the right thing by going for it twice in New England territory. He was trailing by 21 points at the time, but credit should go where it is due.
The Texans have to steal points. That means fourth-down conversions. That means not settling for three when seven can still be had. That means running routes past the first-down markers.
You know, controversial stuff.
The trap for Kubiak is that while the Texans have to play a strategy to shorten the game, they can't be conservative.
In fact, if you are trying to limit the other team's touches, fourth-down conversion tries are a great way to extend drives.
A run-heavy plan of attack is smart, but when it comes time to make the tough call, Kubiak has to grab fate by the throat.
You can be sure his opponent will.
Yes, the first game was a drubbing, but there's no reason the second game has to go the same way.
The Texans are a good team. No, they aren't a great team, but they do have some chances of winning. The path at least exists.
Even the most lopsided NFL matchups are still just 65 to 70 percent propositions.
The NFL playoffs have become much more about luck than skill in recent years, and the best team rarely wins it all anymore.
All that means is that the Patriots will have to come out and play well to win. The Texans are not the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Can the Texans win?
Will the Texans win?
It would be a stunner.

Hello Everyone,
When Barak Obama became President on January 20, 2009, a new chapter in history began not only for the US, but for all of humanity. It is one of awakening and enlightenment in a New Age.

In these trying times, that bring forced change for so many, they are subliminally designed to move consciousness into higher understanding and awareness and in so doing allow souls to create comfortable solutions, as old patterns fade away.
We all read the news, now more than ever, to find out what is going on in the world, but the answers are no longer in creating physical paradigms, but something far more pure and evolved in the hologram of our experience here.
Valentine's Day 2009On Valentine's Day the romantic heart is touched for love and lovers - everything from cards and gifts to getaways and even a marriage proposal.
Valentine's Day 2009 falls on a Saturday, a time many couples spend time together. This could enhance the energies of the evening and further bond the union. A romantic getaway might be just what is needed.
Valentine's Day and the whole concept of love and relationships has changed through the years. Read more

Playing with PendulumsPendulums have been around for a while and can easily be purchased in many holistic or metaphysical bookstores. They can be fun and entertaining as one tries to retreive answers to questions posed. It is one of many divination tools.Pendulums can be made of different materials. Some people use a simple necklace with a crystal or charm at the end. Be sure the bob - or weight on the end - is not too light or too heavy. It should weigh less than half an ounce. The best shape for the bob is something that comes to a point. The best length for the pendulum is six inches.Yes or no questions are common in using the pendulum. Remember to find out how the pendulum moves for you to mean yes, and well as no. In many practices, the pendulum is used to determine the health of a chakra by examining the direction and strength of its spin. Check out this link to find out more about pendulums and pendulum charts. Quick Tip For February
Each morning as your consciousness returns to physical reality, and you are still connected to the other side, pause for a moment, keep your eyes closed, try not to move your physical body, and look for a "Message for the Day" from your soul or spirit guides.
That message may come as a single image, whose interpretation you readily understand. It might be a single word or phrase, and be something to ponder during the day, or just simply be a strong feeling.Imagine a seesaw perfectly balanced. On one side is your normal, day-to-day objective consciousness, and the other side is your subconscious. At this wake up time, the "seesaw" is level, balanced, and is the time when messages from one side can reach the other. As your normal day begins, the side of the seesaw with your objective consciousness rises up and is in control, while the subconscious side goes down. The reverse happens while asleep.Understand that the message you receive comes from a place in your subconscious or unconscious that has been working on your issues while you slept. This is not about your dreams. It is just a quick message to help guide you ... the first thought or visual you get as you wake up.It is often helpful to keep a dream journal. Sometimes messages can follow a theme for a while and like pieces of a puzzle, the overall message might be better viewed when grouped together. Do not worry if no messages immediately come, and do not judge today's results against yesterday's. As one brings focused attention to this exercise, the clarity of messages will increase.Before fully awakening and starting your day, express heartfelt gratitude for the messages received as well as all other areas of your life.

The number of motorists over the age of 90 is poised to increase by 18% over the next five years, according to reports.
Britain's ageing population means there are expected to be more than 12,400 drivers over 90-years-old on the UK's roads by 2017, taking the overall total of 90-plus drivers to 82,400.
A quarter of all current licence holders in the UK are motorists over the age of 65 and that figure is set to expand beyond recognition when the baby boom generation hit retirement age.
But, according to research from the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), motorists over the age of 70 are less like to claim on theircar insurance than a driver in their 20s.
Simon Best, IAM chief executive, said: "Today, over 10 million people can expect to reach 100 so the chances are they'll be driven around by their 70-year-old children.
"While their frailty puts them at risk if they are in a crash, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are a risk to other drivers."

The New York Times / June 27, 1906
Murders' Row Gets Harry Thaw
Formally Charged with Killing Stanford White.
Defense To Be Insanity
fter going through the legal preliminaries prescribed for prisoners accused of murder, Harry Kendall Thaw, the young Pittsburg man who shot and killed Stanford White, the architect, on the Madison Square Roof Garden on Monday night, was locked up yesterday, without the privilege of bail, in Cell 220, Murderers' Row, of the Tombs Prison, where he will probably remain until his fate is decided by a jury.
Harry K. Thaw
The treatment accorded him yesterday by the police, the Coroner, and the Acting District Attorney in no way differed from that ordinarily meted out to men in his position. He was carried to Police Headquarters, after a night in the Tenderloin Police Station, in a patrol wagon, handcuffed to a detective. He was herded with a miscellaneous lot of crooks and criminals at the Detective Bureau, and was photographed and measured with no more consideration than was shown the rest of them.
From Headquarters he was hustled, still handcuffed, to the Jefferson Market Court and from the Jefferson Market Court to the Coroner's office. When the Coroner had finished with him he crossed the Bridge of Sighs to his cell. Throughout the trying ordeals he succeeded in maintaining his composure, and not once did he open his lips as to the motive for his crime. Indeed, he refused to discuss the crime at all after he reached the police station, saying that he would have no statement to make until after he had been instructed to do so by his attorneys.
Work as they might, the police could evolve no positive theory to fit the case. That the relations of the murdered man to Mrs. Thaw prior to her marriage had become known to her husband, the detectives detailed on the case are positive. They go further, saying that the chances are that Thaw knew when he married her that Stanford White had been very friendly to Evelyn Nesbit, the artist's model and actress, who later became Mrs. Thaw.
There the puzzle comes. If Thaw did know what his wife's relations to White had been they argue that there must have been some recent development--some development following the marriage--which planted the seed of murder in Thaw's heart.
Mrs. Thaw is as silent as her husband. She refuses to discuss the shooting at all, saying that it is too terrible for words. She visited the office of Lewis L. Delafield, her husband's regular counsel, yesterday afternoon and turned over to him a sheaf of letters. Among these letters, it is said, is a letter received by her from White in the last few weeks. It may be that this letter will prove the key to the situation.
Letter the Last Straw.
One story in circulation among theatrical people last night was that the letter was an invitation and that in it the writer practically ignored the existence of the former Evelyn Nesbit's husband. It was also current gossip among the set in which young Thaw and his wife moved that before this, remarks about the wife, purporting to have been made by her former friend, had reached the husband's ears and aroused his bitter wrath. It was even said that one such comment, overhead when the two parties were dining in Martin's, was the last straw in a load of repeated insults which really caused the murder.
That the lawyers for the defense will advance the plea of insanity is already settled. Mr. Delafield gave Acting District Attorney Nott this information in so many words yesterday morning. Both Mr. Nott and Coroner Dooley say that there is absolutely no evidence to prove insanity and agree with the police that the murder was deliberately planned--that Thaw had been waiting his chance for several weeks.

Few words were exchanged on the short ride back to the Jintaro homestead. Nanaki insisted on riding in Guo's car with Jinora and her father, and throughout the ride Jintaro kept his arms wrapped around his child as if terrified the world would snatch her away again. The rest of the team followed in Kozin's rented van. During the trip Jinora noticed Nanaki was pale and haunted, but didn't press the overly-stressed girl.
It wasn't until Nanaki was seated at the familiar span of her own kitchen table, after her father had put a blanket over her shoulders and made her tea, that she began to speak. Surrounded by her ring of loved ones and protectors she told them everything that had occurred from the moment she got into Himaru's limo to the moment she was waking dazed and weak in her father's arms, neglecting only to mention Po's ultimate fate. She spared no detail on recounting the speech Himaru gave her as well as she could remember it, and when she had finished speaking everyone was silent for several long minutes.
"This is an unprecedented event," Jinora finally said, breaking the silence.
Nanaki looked up at her.
"What would happen if he did it?" She asked.
Jinora shook her head. "Calamity like nothing the world has ever seen. Picture every natural disaster you can imagine taking place all the same time on a global scale. All life on Earth would be extinguished in a matter of seconds."
"He's insane," Akytreu said, gasping.
"He's worse," Kozin said, holding his wife's hand as the girls decided to explore the back yard and Yakkara whom was laying in the sun there. "He's an idealist. From the way he spoke he truly believes he's doing what's best for the world without realizing what the consequences would be. That makes him more dangerous than most. It's a pity. I could respect a man like that in other circumstances."
Nanaki seemed to see the Commander for the first time.
"Hey," she said, "I remember you. What are you doing here?"
"Commander Kozin has graciously consented to be your firebending teacher," Jinora said, smiling.
"Though I don't think she needs one," Kozin said, looking at Nanaki with a mixture of admiration and thoughtfulness, "not with what I saw an hour ago. The Fire Sphere is a very advanced technique, only a true master can perform it."
"That...wasn't me," Nanaki said, and grew pale again.
Jinora watched Nanaki thoughtfully for a moment before she turned slightly to address the whole team.
"Himaru's plan is much more dire than I could have dreamed. We are confronted with a very difficult dilemma. We have no proof to back up our accusations against him that we can bring to the public's attention. Indeed, we cannot even prove the Avatar was his prisoner. We face a foe whom is a pillar of Earth Kingdom society and wields vast political, influential, and financial power. How then, should we proceed?"
They were all silent in though until, almost with one accord, every head turned to look at Nanaki. She became aware of their stares and deflated visibly.
"I don't know what to do," she said.
Abruptly, she slammed her fist onto the table.
"I won't kill him, if that's what you're all thinking," she said, with great vehemence. The outburst surprised everyone.
"Nobody suggested you do any such thing," Jinora said gently.
Nanaki calmed down and quietly apologized for her outburst. Jintaro looked at Jinora.
"But is there really a threat? He can't get into the Spirit World, can he?"
"He can, if he's determined to," Jinora said.
"There are two portals, one at each pole, that grants access to the Spirit World," Tu'uri explained.
"Military contracts," Kozin said suddenly. They all looked at him.
"Himaru has contracts to design and build nuclear armaments," Kozin said. "Nothing would stop him from taking a nuclear weapon through one of the portals and detonating it." He thought for a moment further, then nodded. "That's how he'll do it."
"How can you be sure, Commander?" Jinora asked.
Kozin turned to her. "If I were fighting an army with soldiers composed entirely of pure energy, it's what I would do."
Jinora was satisfied with that answer. She addressed the group again. "Then that's what we must presume he will do. Which brings us to our second unprecedented event."
She looked at Nanaki.
"The Avatar must be fully realized to face this threat," Jinora said. "You are going to have to master the remaining three elements all at the same time."
Nanaki stared at her in disbelief.
The group remained at the table for the remainder of the day, making plans. It was agreed that the entire group should relocate to Air Temple Island at the earliest opportunity, since only there would Nanaki have all the tools required for her to master all of the elements. Jintaro announced that he and Otoshi would go also, which lead to Jinora revealing her suspicion that Otoshi was the Unbeliever insider. Jintaro was outraged at the accusation, and even Nanaki argued fiercely in defense of her brother, but when Jinora and Guo laid out their evidence the Avatar and her father could not question it. Heartbroken, they agreed that Otoshi must have been the one giving information that lead to the assaults on the tea shop and Air Temple Island.
When Otoshi returned home from school, it was with a thunderous amount of surprise that he saw everyone there. Nanaki was shocked to see how much weight her twin had lost, and how haggard and exhausted he looked. Jintaro confronted him about the Unbeliever accusation in a great rage and Otoshi didn't withstand the assault. He broke down and confessed everything immediately, confirming Jinora's suspicions almost to the letter. He also seemed greatly relieved at telling all, for it was found that he had been carrying all the guilt in the universe on his shoulders since the moment he learned of the attack on the island. Nanaki forgave him on the spot. They cried together, and from that very second the twins familial bond transcended, becoming a deeply rooted and solid friendship that would last the remainder of their lives.
In later years, when Jinora would sit under her favorite awning sipping her tea, she would often recall that tender moment between brother and sister with great fondness. She would also grow very sad in that, because nobody then knew how short a time that would prove to be.
There was dissent when it came to Nanaki's training. After long discussion it was decided that Nanaki would learn waterbending and firebending congruently. She would train for four hours a day in the morning with Kozin and then four hours in the evening with Tu'uri. She would not begin her training in airbending until her teachers had decided she had mastered their respective elements. Nanaki was curious at this, and asked the reason.
"Airbending is the polar opposite of Earthbending," Jinora explained. "It will be very difficult for you to grasp, and harder to master. So I agree with Guo, we should refrain from airbending lessons until you have fire and water mastered."
As the day worn on the discussion did too, briefly interrupted by a splendid dinner cooked by Jintaro with both his children helping. Kozin made himself extremely useful by phoning various contacts and friends, thus establishing a network of spies and emissaries that would immediately inform him if Himaru arrived in the Fire Nation and give account of all of his movements. Jinora was very glad that Kozin had decided to join the team.
After the meal the discussion continued until night had fallen. It was then that Jinora noticed Nanaki kept nodding off, and chided herself for neglecting the Avatar's well being. Without argument Nanaki was sent off to bed.
She stood for a long time in the doorway of her bedroom, looking at her belongings. It seemed so alien now, so different from the room she had woken up in a short five months ago, where she was just an ordinary teenager living an ordinary life, worrying about boys and if she looked all right, and having tea with Yi over an aggressive game of Pai Sho. Times that seemed so tranquil now, time before she learned she was the Avatar. She peeled the quilt from the bed, took up the pillow, and went back downstairs.
She ignored the curious looks everyone gave her and paused by the couch, where Yi had fallen asleep. She kissed her best friend's cheek, then went outside into the backyard. Yakkara lifted her head up when Nanaki appeared and purred in greeting. Nanaki tucked herself in between the great zebratiger's front paws. Yakkara groomed her as if the Avatar were her very own cub and laid her head down beside Nanaki. There Nanaki slept, a dreamless and serene sleep that she desperately needed.
Dinner was taken in the backyard the following evening, and the atmosphere was quite festive. The adults talked and joked with each other, Yi and Akytreu had a private moment (or so they thought, Guo watched them carefully) together, and Kozin's two daughters played with shrieks and screams of delight with a long-suffering Yakkara. Only Nanaki was quiet, barely touching her food and not meeting anyone's gaze. Jinora watched the Avatar from the corner of her eye, but again made no overtures to get her to talk about whatever was so clearly bothering her. When the dishes were cleaned up everyone was told to pack and prepare. Nanaki only shrugged when Jinora offered to help her get her things together.
Halfway through the process Nanaki stopped. She crossed the room to the door and closed it, giving herself and Jinora privacy. She sat down on the edge of the bed as Jinora watched her, laced her fingers together, and looked down at her shoes.
"What if I can't do it, Jinora? What if I can't master all four elements in time?" She asked.
Jinora smiled as she folded one of Nanaki's sweaters.
"On the average, it takes the Avatar ten years to master all the elements. It took Avatar Korra thirteen."
Nanaki's shoulder's and head slumped.
"But Avatar Aang did it in sixteen months. You and he are very alike," Jinora said, packing the sweater into a suitcase and inspecting Nanaki's shoes.
Nanaki looked up and over at her. "Really?"
"Oh yes," Jinora said. "Both of you are very sweet tempered. Both of you have the distinction of mastering the bending of your native element before the age of ten." She looked at Nanaki, knowingly, from under her eyebrows. "And both of you are absolutely adamantly against using violence to solve your problems.
Nanaki looked down at her shoes again, going quiet as Jinora selected several warm jackets from the closet to pack.
"I killed him, Jinora. The big man. I never even knew his name," Nanaki said quietly.
Jinora sat down on the bed beside Nanaki and took her hand.
"Tell me what happened," she said.
When Nanaki finished she looked shyly up at Jornia and cringed, as if frightened that her mentor would yell at her, or strike her, or—worst of all—strand up and leave the room. Jinora looked at her face for a long moment.
"Let me tell you a story," she said. "Unalaq was not the last threat that Avatar Korra ever faced. When I was much younger, Republic City was ripped apart by violence. The root cause of the trouble was an up and coming crime boss and firebender named Minazi. Minazi was brutal. When you wronged her, she didn't go after you. She went after your loved ones. Whole families were slaughtered. Minazi wasn't just a crime boss, she was a terrorist . She would go to any lengths to consolidate her power and she had designs in taking control of the criminal underworlds of every Nation.
"Avatar Korra did everything within her power to topple Minazi's empire. She disrupted Minazi's enterprises, she arrested her henchmen, she blocked the madwoman at every turn. But the more Avatar Korra did, the more brutal Minazi became. When Minazi ordered the destruction of a school as a warning to Avatar Korra and murdered eighteen children through the act, Avatar Korra understood that the violence would only continue to escalate.
"When they finally met face to face, Minazi was ready. She had two hostages, and she was willing to execute them both and proved it by killing one of them as Korra tried to stop her. Avatar Korra saw that there was going to be no solution to the problem aside from the most difficult one. If she allowed Minazi to escape, or gave her any wriggle room, Minazi's brand of crime would spread to every corner of the planet. Korra did she what she had to do to end the threat."
Nanaki stared with wide eyes. "Korra killed her?"
Jinora nodded.
"She did, though it tore her apart to do it. You see Nanaki, being the Avatar means that sometimes you will have to make choices that are impossibly difficult. Being the Avatar is not about yourself. It's about doing what is necessary to defend the world and the people in it."
Nanaki frowned, uncomfortable. "So...it's okay that I killed him?"
"I'm not saying that," Jinora said. "What I'm saying is that you were forced into a position to take an action you had to take. I think it's important for you to see it in that regard in case you have to take the same action against Himaru."
Nanaki shook her head.
"Avatar Aang could have killed Fire Lord Ozai, and he didn't."
Jinora smiled.
"That's true, he didn't. But he was prepared to. Despite how much Avatar Aang abhorred the idea of taking life, much as you do, he fundamentally understood that if the world was at stake and no other solution presented itself, the needs of the world would have to come first regardless of his own morals or ethics and the Avatar would be called upon to take the necessary steps. The Avatar's duty is to the world," she said.
Nanki spent a few moments pacing, trying to consolidate her thoughts. Then she looked shrewdly at her mentor.
"You were one of those two hostages, weren't you?" she asked.
Jinora nodded again, her smile fading away like a cherry blossom on the summer breeze.
"I was. The second, the one Minazi killed, was my sister Ikki's first child. My nephew, Tozi. He was four years old."
Nanaki almost recoiled in shock and horror and impulsively hugged Jinora.
"I'm so sorry," she said, kissing a wrinkled cheek. "Is that what caused the rift?"
Jinora smiled and patted Nanaki's back.
"Yes, it is. Ikki had long believed that Avatar Korra should have taken the action she did before that moment. Ikki was understandably inconsolable. She blamed Korra, and the rest of us, for what happened and convinced herself that Korra had chosen to save me instead of Tozi which, of course, was not the case. Ikki was grieving, and still is. Perhaps someday, though, that separation can be mended," she said.
Nanaki nodded. "Let's hope."
The two resumed their work of packing, neither of them speaking again. Nanaki felt rejuvenated, and energized. She was very glad of Jinora, and knew she didn't have to ask the elderly Air Nomad not to mention what had happened to the big man to anyone else. At last Nanaki impulsively kissed Jinora's cheek, watched the old lady leave the room, and she relaxed. After a very long and very hot shower she slipped into her pajamas and curled up in her bed, the bed she had not curled up in for four months. It felt good to be home. Tomorrow, they would be off to Air Temple Island.
Tomorrow they would be coming home, and the Pai Sho board between Avatar and businessman was set. The game was ready to begin. It was just waiting for an opening move.

Tesoro's New CEO Gets to Work
Goff is looking to slash 15 percent from the company's budget in 2011.
SAN ANTONIO -- Tesoro Corp.'s new CEO Greg Goff is looking to slash 15 percent from the budget in 2011, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
"The plans to achieve that will be completed in 45 days, but the savings themselves are targeted to be achieved in 2011," Tesoro spokesman Lynn Westfall said via e-mail.
Asked if layoffs are possible, Westfall responded: "We are developing our plans to reach the 15 percent target now, but have no specifics at this point."
Goff, who was appointed CEO of the independent San Antonio-based refiner May 1, joined Tesoro at a tumultuous time. The company posted a $155 million loss in the first quarter of 2010 and a loss of $140 million for 2009, as refining margins have been squeezed by weak demand for its products, according to the report.
In addition, Goff must deal with the fallout from the closure of the company's refinery in Anacortes, Wash., where an April 2 explosion and fire killed seven employees.
Some units at the plant continued to operate after the accident, but Tesoro decided to temporarily close the plant April 30. An investigation of the disaster continues.
Analyst Jacques Rousseau, of RBC Capital Markets, told clients in a note last week he believes Tesoro "will consider permanently closing" the Anacortes refinery, one of several it owns, because it had struggled to break even.
But Tesoro has made no such decision, Westfall told the newspaper.
"We are currently planning to restart the facility in early September," he said.
Rousseau raised his earnings estimate for Tesoro for the second quarter because of stronger margins in California, where the company has two plants. And he said Tesoro would see improved margins at its Hawaii refinery if the state's Public Utility Commission approves a new contract the company has negotiated with Hawaiian Electric Co.
Under the present contract, Westfall has said Tesoro is selling fuel oil to the utility at below-market price, and the new contract would be "much improved."

The Dash - Album Preview and Preorder
"The Dash" is R. Mutt's 5th full length recording of original music. The record marks the first studio appearance of both Dave Smolarek on guitar and Matt Schreier on drums, who are joined by the band's primary song writers and vocalists, Ron Thornton and Jim Dier. The band enlisted the help of friends of the band Jamie Kane and Michael Stodola for some key lyrics.
This album presents a more aggressive and emotional sound than recent releases due in no small part to the creative direction and prodding of producer, Kevin Blackwell. Kevin signed on to be producer/collaborator/den mother upon his move from Portland to Milwaukee. Kevin also called in his good friend and mix engineer Chet Lyster (The Eels, The Jayhawks, Lucinda Williams) to put an edge on the sound not present in our past recordings.
So, in the space above we will be sharing the playlist of the new record. We will add a song or two to the playlist every week. Keep visiting to hear the whole album. If you just cannot wait to have it all, we are taking LP and CD preorders as well as digital download orders right now, which will grant you an immediate download of the entire album in the format of your choosing.
We hope you all like this record as much as we do. Give her a listen, let us know what you think and see you at Shank Hall on March 1st.

Red Hat Criticizes Microsoft over Patent Sales
Following Microsoft's recent sale of 22 patents, Red Hat has accused Redmond of implementing a classic FUD campaign against open source software.
The patents from Microsoft's portfolio were bought by a trust company in July and then further sold to the Open Invention Network. In a press release, Red Hat confirms what many had already suspected: the sale consisted of patents carefully selected and processed by Microsoft to attract the attention of patent trolls.
The release claims that "(Microsoft)... used marketing materials that highlighted offensive uses of the patents against open source software, including a number of the most popular open source packages" and goes on to openly accuse the company of spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD).
Red Hat's news article comes to the conclusion that despite Microsoft's attempts to integrate itself with the open source community, it still hasn't found a path to peace and continues to abuse its dominant market position.

Treatments For Adenomyosis
What are possible treatment options for adenomyosis?
OCPs, Novasure: Adenomyosis is endometriosis in the wall of the uterus. It can make the uterus enlarged, tender and cause heavy, painful periods as well as painful sex. The symptoms can often be controlled with birth control pills, a Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud, or an endometrial ablation; but the condition remains. The only "cure" is to remove the uterus. ...Read more

Lupron (leuprolide): Lupron (leuprolide) may be of some help to adenomyosis but often it is of no benefit. Adenomyosis can be very troubling and needs proper attention.

Is a low dose oral contraceptive effective treatment for adenomyosis? Does the estrogen in a pill such as Alesse contribute to the adenomyosis spread?
Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is the development of glandular material from the endometrium interdigitating into the smooth muscle of the uterus causing it to enlarge and often produce copious bleeding. Alesse is being used to try to control the heavy bleeding without using surgery as an alternative. This diagnosis is usually made at the time of hysterectomy via the pathological specimen. ...Read more

I travelled last week from Berlin to Regensburg via Nuremberg. The rail line passes through what used to be East Germany flat plains which were Germanys bread basket 150 years ago and today mainly grow fodder crops like oats, broken by wooded hills topped by castles. The cities have a long history; one finds Roman walls, medieval gates and ducal palaces in their middle. I thought Indian tourists were missing much. So were Indian businessmen, for I found so many small factories closed and crumbling on the way. But Germany would never get many Indian tourists with the visa policy it has got. It still thinks of Indians as brown little men waiting to take German jobs at measly wages; it is still to wake up to the prosperity that is enveloping India, the upsurge of enterprise that is taking Indian companies abroad, and the cash Indian tourists are getting rid of in the shops of Singapore and Dubai. Meera Shankar, the Indian ambassador in Berlin, is one of our best; but she has not succeeded in making German visa policy more Indian-friendly. Now that the German embassy has outsourced visa processing in India to a local firm, travelling to Germany has become even more difficult.
But having overcome every hurdle presented by the BPO firm and got to Germany, what fascinated me were the German railways, which claim to be Europes best. The whole of India, which is nine times as big as Germany, has 63,000 route kilometres and 109,000 track kilometres. German railways have 41,000 route km and 80,000 track km. Indian railways employ 1.5 million workers, Deutsche Bahn, 230,000. Indian railways earn about Rs 400 billion; German railways, four times as much. They have continuous rails, and give an extremely smooth ride.
Passenger trains have bogies with electric motors, which can act as engines (called multiple units), and bogies without. A local train is made up of two multiple units with two bogies between them; if more capacity is needed, two such little trains are hitched together. The speed goes up to 300 km an hour. The seats were not much more comfortable than ours; they were even a bit narrower, since German railways run on standard gauge and ours on broad gauge.
However, passenger comfort is not at the top of the German railways concerns. The DB considers itself hard done by because it has to pay tax on the fuel it consumes as well as Germanys ecology tax, and airlines and shipping lines do not (rivers and canals are important carriers of freight and tourists in Germany). Airlines in India have to pay heavy tax on jet fuel; the government, being the railways owner, ensures that they are not disadvantaged. In Europe, all countries except Finland and Germany exempt railways from fuel tax.
Since fuel is its major cost, the DB sees business advantage in economizing on energy. That also appeals to Germans, who have made environment-friendliness their new religion. Thus the DB has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 11.4 per cent since 2002, and will reduce them by a further 20 per cent by 2020. The DB is the most efficient long-haul freight carrier; it generates 24 grams of carbon dioxide per ton km, against ships 35, lorries 89 and aeroplanes 665. In long-haul passenger carriage, however, it is beaten by modern buses, which emit only 31 gms of carbon dioxide per ton km against the railways 47; cars emit 143 gms, and planes 191.
How does the DB go about reducing carbon dioxide emissions' It teaches its engine drivers to drive energy-efficiently to accelerate smoothly and to minimize braking. Railion, the DBs freight subsidiary, ran an energy-saving Olympiad. It was won by the engine driver, Mario Spangenberg. The race was run on a simulator. Spangenberg won by a hairs breadth; he used the brake once less than his closest competitor. And even when he brakes in real life, he generates electricity; power generation from brakes saves the DB 8 per cent of its fuel consumption. Spangenberg attributed his win to the fact that he goes angling when he has time; angling taught him smooth and steady action.
Another way in which the DB saved on greenhouse gases is by redesigning its trains. In the Eighties, the DB got its equipment manufacturers, Siemens and Bombardier, to design the trains called Intercity Express. It works closely with the manufacturers to improve the design; till now, the ICE has gone through three generations, introduced in 1991, 1996 and 1999. The first experimental prototype set a speed record of 407 kms an hour in 1988. Once a satisfactory model was developed, an order was placed for 60 trains. This model has been followed ever since: the DB works on an improved model with its suppliers, and once it has a satisfactory model, orders a large number of trains to achieve low costs.
But recently it has started something even more economical: it took 59 old trains into its Nuremberg workshop, stripped them and upgraded them to last another 20 years. This has led to the reuse of 80 per cent of the materials, including 16,000 tons of steel and 1,200 tons of copper, and saved 35,000 tons of carbon emissions and 500,000 tons of waste.
Thus, the DB has become a technological leader. Its ICEs have been adopted by other European railways. Many of its suppliers were used by Taiwan when it introduced trains running at 300 kms an hour on its Taipei-Kaohsiung line. The 345-km line is the most expensive railway line built till now; it cost 15 billion dollars. Taiwan is earthquake-prone; if the rails got slightly displaced by an earthquake, a train travelling at 300 km would be completely wrecked, with close to 100 per cent damage. To stabilize the line, most of it has been buried 100 meters underground. The trains are pulled by more powerful, 14,000-horse-power engines than the DB mostly uses. But the Taiwan railway company borrowed Johann Ubenn from the DB to train its engine drivers.
After high speeds and smooth engine driving, what excites the managers of the DB these days' They want to make trains less noisy. The DB is participating in a project of the European Commission called Silence, aimed at bringing down noise. In the course of this project, maps of noise-intensity are being drawn, rather like relief maps in geography which show altitude. The maps will identify the noisiest spots in Europe and their noise levels. The project aims to reduce the noise peaks by 10 decibels in such places by March 2008. If it succeeds, listeners will feel a halving of noise. Apart from this project, the DB is working on halving the noise made by trains in friction with rails by 2020.
I do not know how much more comfortable passengers of the DB will be 13 years hence; but they will certainly hear less of the screech emitted by trains brakes being applied. The whispering brake that the DB is trying to develop will be kinder to the passengers ears. And that is just on the basis of present technological plans. Who knows' By 2020, the DB will have trains floating on cushions of air, and its passengers will feel as if they are travelling on flying carpets.

Paul Smith: 'Fashion can be so snobby'
Paul Smith has called out the snobbery in fashion.
The designer has become synonymous with British style, spending more than 45 years working in the fashion industry.
While he relishes what he does, Paul could do without the self-importance and arrogance that can sometimes be witnessed in fashion and the celebrity world.
"What is just so needless – not just in fashion, but in so-called 'celebrity' – is so much unnecessary ego," he sighed to GQ Australia. "Yes, you do a good job. But keep your feet on the ground, mate. Be a nice person to meet. There's so much ego and attitude and snobbishness."
The Paul Smith brand is known for its sharp tailoring and use of colour and bright prints. When asked for his opinion on the menswear offerings for Spring/Summer 16, Paul couldn't help but bring up how mainstream fashion has become.
"If I had a criticism of fashion today, it's that it's become slightly cliched – guys aren't as adventurous as they used to be," he sighed. "We have Instagram and know what people are doing, instantly. It's a bit sad as it's made the world a bit too homogenised."
While 70-year-old Paul is a keen Instagram user, calling it "an extension of my love for photography", he isn't a big fan of other technologies. He's proud to say he doesn't have an email address and his wife Pauline doesn't have a mobile phone.
Paul's reasoning behind his lack of interest in technology is simple: "I'm an observant, curious person. To spend any time looking at a phone or a screen, for me, would be incorrect.
"The only advice I would give to anybody who reads this is, balance your time. Look and see in an ordinary way. Enjoy life: eye contact, body language, touch, friendship... normal things. And then, of course, immerse yourself in technology."

Briggs Marine Contractors Bolsters Fleet
The Forth Fighter after an extensive refit.
Briggs Marine Contractors has brought its comprehensive fleet of vessels, barges and related equipment back up to full complement following an extensive refit of the newly named Forth Fighter.
It was subject to a full overhaul including the stripping and rebuilding of the accommodation area, engine room and bridge.
In addition to this, the Forth Fighter's length was increased by 2m with its engines upgraded to two new 320hp units. New props were fitted to both propulsion shafts which were also stripped and replaced, and maximum thrust has been injected into the four bladed propellers by aligning them with new kort nozzles.
The vessel has also benefited from both a new generator and a cargo pump allowing it to deliver 90 tonnes of potable water up to a height of 35m, offering maximum flexibility to clients.
New deck equipment added to its features include a 15 tonne line pull handling winch, the latest Effer deck crane complete with a 5 tonne winch, and omni-directional sheaves.
Briggs Group managing director, Collieson Briggs said: 'The Gemsar previously provided an extremely high standard of service to clients but the Forth Fighter will enhance this provision.
'She is ideally suited to shallow water and heavy lift work and her low free board and heavy deck equipment equip her for all marine disciplines. Throughout the entire operation, we encouraged feedback from all involved to enable the company to achieve the 'optimum' operation vessel.'
Briggs Marine Contractors has also recently purchased the Forth Guardsman. 50m in length, 14.6m in breadth with a minimum working draft of 0.9m (maximum 2.1m), its shallow draft multi-purpose capability allows it to deliver fuel, water, oils bunkers and up to 860 tons of deck cargo.
Forth Guardsman's refit, which included upgrades to areas such as the hull, thrusters and generators and the recovery equipment installed on board makes it one of two vessels with Oil Recovery Certification to 600 tonnes operating in UK waters.
The vessel's versatility means it is capable of operating in very shallow water for pollution recovery purpose, and when required, can dry out on the beach, thus enhancing a response in remote areas.

Just like the popular photoblog Humans Of New York on Facebook, there is a page called Humans of Lyari (HoL), which highlights inspirational stories of the residents of Lyari – a densely populated neighborhood in the metropolitan city of Karachi, Pakistan.
HoL has helped draw attention to a lot of undiscovered talent in the town also known as mini-Pakistan. However, most recently, the story of painter Parvez Bhatti, who drew a beautiful portrait of the first family of the United States, has taken the country by storm.
"I loved painting ever since I was a child. It has been 40 years since I am working as a painter," the page quoted the artist as saying. "I used to paint movie posters for cinemas and I also used to take orders for different art galleries."
Bhatti added he hopes to present it to President Obama himself.
"This is one of my best paintings so far in which I have drawn family portrait of American president Obama. I really want to gift this painting to him," he told HoL.

The response to Bhatti's painting has been overwhelming, HoL stated in one of the comments on the original post.

By: Flavio Dobran
'Dr. Dobran is to be congratulated on having covered the basic physics of virtually all aspects of volcanology in so much detail. This will be an invaluable reference work for established specialists in volcanology. It will also provide an excellent starting point for new researchers wishing to become familiar with the quantitative aspects of this field.' Lionel Wilson, Emeritus Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Lancaster, UK 'Dr. Dobran has clearly taken particular care in the writing and documentation of the Volcanic Processes. The book offers a good balance between various ingredients from mechanics, geophysics, and chemistry. The text is practically self-contained in spite of its multidisciplinary nature; all terms, expressions, and mathematical formulas are clearly explained. The book contains many exercises and examples, and these always pertain to the subject matter at hand. This is a very strong asset from the point of view of pedagogy. The author has presented a rich historical background. This gives a vivid and entertaining style. The book is not neutral. It reflects the strong involvement of its author in the matter of volcanic eruptions, his case studies (Vesuvio), and his latent catastrophism. This is quite unusual in science books, which normally exhibit no personal feeling. The treatment, although aimed at advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students, is up-to-date and full of useful data. This book will also be very useful to specialists in geology, geophysics, and volcanology. I recommend it highly.' Gerard A. Maugin, Laboratoire de Modelisation en Mecanique, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France

Marie Robert Vanerik, who arrived in India July 17, was found dead Monday morning at Aurobindo Ashram in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar when the caretaker of the ashram noticed a stench emanating from her room locked from inside.
Police broke open the lock and found her decomposed body lying in the bathroom, said a police officer.
Police claim it was a natural death as no injury marks were found on her body.
She was associated with Aurobindo Ashram for the last 25 years and was a frequent visitor.

Since redemption and the apocalypse were major themes on the show, breaking the wheel of karma seems to join the two. Here is the wheel as I see it right now:
- Mitch injures his knee and takes his grief out on Cissy
- Cissy takes drugs to escape Mitch's anger and, in a drug-induced stupor, shows Butchie "how to do that" [masturbate]
- Butchie takes out his anger on Barry by hitting him with a broom handle and inducing epilepsy that also trigger visions including the one that gives him the winning MegaMillions loto numbers
- "Barry the Fairy's" molestation at 11 led him to be a target for ridicule, including Butchie's attack when they were 12 years old
- Butchie further masks his anger with drugs leading him to Steady Freddy and Tina Blake with whom he has Shaun
- Tina, guilty about abandoning Shaun to his grandparents, becomes involved in the porn business
- Bill, grief-struck from the loss of his wife [and his mistakes that he believes let her suffer and die], lead him to mentor Shaun in the absence of a father figure [with both Butchie and Mitch at the distant periphery]
John's presence leads to: - Shaun's resurrection of Zippy in front of Bill
- Bill's return of faith that encourages him to take Zippy to Shaun's bedside after the accident
- Mitch's levitation [inability to run] and return to "the game" [selflessness and love]
- Butchie recovering from drug addiction
- Tina returning and seeking to reconnect with her son
- Freddie's desire to protect the Yost family and leave the dealing business
- Bill's decision to reconnect with the memory of his dead wife - Zippy's return
- Barry's decision to not tear down the Snug Harbor Motel and instead face his past [forgive his abuser and release the dead man from purgatory]
- Linc's chance to act selflessly and "get in the game"
Anyone game for adding / revising this start?
