This research aims to facilitate the successful implementation of the new Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario dysphagia screening model for acute stroke patients. The objectives will be 1) to determine the natural history of dysphagia screening skill decay, and 2) to assess the benefit of independent web-based practice and periodic feedback on screening skill maintenance. We will enrol a convenience sample of nurses who currently work with stroke patients but who have had no prior formal training with dysphagia screening.
The study will consist of 2 phases: A) an initial pilot phase followed by B) a prospective randomized controlled study. During Phase A, three new web-based, self-instructed skill refresher courses will be developed to help nurses maintain the skills they will learn in an 8-hour workshop on dysphagia screening. During Phase B, nurses will receive the 8-hour workshop and one-on-one evaluation by a speech-language pathologist (SLP). Following training, competent screeners will be randomized into one of two groups: Group A - Control group with no refresher course or periodic feedback from SLP; Group B - Web-based skill refresher courses only. Nurses will be evaluated at several timepoints throughout Phase B to assess theoretical dysphagia screening knowledge and skills.

County voters may have two choices when it comes to the fate of 540 acres on Fort Ord.
In reaction to an initiative that seeks to designate the land as open space, the county's business and veterans councils revealed a counter measure Friday.
The counter initiative designates as developable almost all of the land the Fort Ord Access Alliance wants undeveloped.
The opposing camps are collecting signatures on petitions to qualify their initiatives for a special election ballot.
Alliance spokesman Jason Campbell said Friday the counter petition "is to facilitate the Monterey Downs project." Part of the equestrian-themed park is proposed to be built on the so-called endowment parcel, whose sale for development would fund maintenance of the cemetery.
Counter-petition signer James Bogan, president of the Monterey County Veterans Council, said his group's initiative is necessary to ensure a veterans cemetery is built.
The Alliance initiative does not seek to get rid of the proposed cemetery or its endowment parcel, but it designates 370 acres also planned for Monterey Downs as open space.
Some veterans argue that making the area around the endowment parcel undevelopable would be a threat to the endowment. Business and community leaders say the initiative's open space goals threaten redevelopment and potential job creation.
"If those projects don't go, we don't go either," said Sid Williams, secretary of the veterans council, about the cemetery. "It's all connected."
Williams argued the Alliance petition was about more than Monterey Downs — that it could stop anything from ever being built on the endowment and the proposed open space.
"Those oak trees will not hire a soul," Williams said.
Campbell said his group is not anti-development but would rather see development take place on about 5,000 acres of blighted area made up of old military buildings and other developable land.
Bogan argued that developers would need to pay to get rid of the blight, and Williams said it was not possible to just move the endowment to the blighted areas because it has already been approved in its current spot.
Michael Salerno, spokesman for the group Keep Fort Ord Wild, said Friday he took particular issue with a passage in the counter petition that appeared to change the definition of "habitat management land use" to allow for hotels and other mixed-use projects.
"People can argue about the cemetery until they are blue in the face," he said, "but this is rezoning habitat management plan. ... This is really kind of out of left field."
Salerno said the area affected, which previously allowed for low-impact recreation like horse and bike riding, could be up to 400 acres.
Williams said the definition would only apply to the cemetery and the endowment — not any other areas designated for open space.
In addition to reaffirming Fort Ord's reuse plan for mixed-use development, the counter petition would set in stone the 50 acres of the Whispering Oaks area as open space. The Alliance petition does the same.
In addition to Bogan, the counter petition was signed by Mary Ann Leffel, president of the Monterey County Business Council; Alfred Diaz Infante, president and CEO of Community Housing Improvement Planning Association; Edith Johnsen, former Marina mayor and county supervisor; and W.B. "Butch" Lindley, former Monterey County supervisor.
Both petitions must gather about 17,000 signatures from registered voters to turn into the Ford Ord Reuse Authority, which will result in a special election.
Campbell said Friday his group had collected 5,000 signatures. Jack Stewart, judge advocate of the United Veterans Council of Monterey County, said he was confident his cause has the support it needs.
"It's gaining momentum as we speak," he said.

Edge City--OSU Art Exhibition
Monday, October 21, 2013
11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Presented By: OSU Mansfield
The Pearl Conard Art Gallery at The Ohio State University Mansfield is proud to present Edge City, an exhibition by artist Amanda Burnham, Tuesday October 1 – Friday October 25, 2013. Burnham, who was born in Toledo, Ohio, makes drawings and drawing installations based on her explorations of and encounters with the city. Often working on site, outside or in her car, she reads the landscape for found fragments of language and records the poetics of vacant lots, moveable type signs, billboards, and rowhouses with ink and other water media on paper. She often pieces fragments together in a cumulative manner not unlike the way the urban landscape is collectively authored over time. She expands upon these explorations in her drawing installations by reassembling drawn fragments of landscape with explicit layering and visibly taped and sutured seams. The resulting spaces call to mind their sources while also describing a new landscape vision, forged as the found pieces are adapted to the site against which they have been displaced.
Gallery Hours: Monday-Thursday, 11am- 4pm; Friday, 11am – 1:30pm
Public reception Tuesday October 1, 1:30 – 3:00 pm with gallery talk at 2:00 pm

Police and fire investigators are probing a second alleged arson attack on the former snooker hall in Lawkholme.
Residents of nearby streets had to leave their homes in the early hours of Monday as the building blazed.
This was the second time householders had been evacuated in less than a week due to a fire at the Grange Street premises.
Crews from six fire stations battled for about four hours to bring the latest fire under control, and smoke could still be seen rising from the empty shell of the building – the former Peter Black Car Museum – when daylight arrived.
Incident commander, Andy Newman, said that when crews arrived at 2am, the priority had been to protect neighbouring houses.
He added: "The row of terraced houses in Wren Street was in serious danger of catching fire."
Mr Newman said the latest fire gutted every part of the building that had not been damaged last week.
He added: "Materials were stored in this end of the building – fabrics and plastics. It was full of stock of various types."
Following the first fire last week, investigators were initially hampered by the dangerous state of the structure.
Teams were eventually able to enter the remains of the three-storey premises at the weekend, following some demolition work.
About 70 firefighters from across the district tackled the first inferno on New Year's Eve, limiting damage to one end of the building, including a shop unit and storage area.
A West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman this week confirmed fire investigations were ongoing, adding: "We are treating both fires as suspected deliberate ignition."
Detective Inspector Ryan Bragg, of Bradford CID, said: "We are investigating the fire at the snooker club from the early hours of Monday as an incident of arson.
"We are also looking into links between this fire and the one at the same premises on December 31, 2013."
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

News Releases by Year
Pending home sales declined in June but marked 14 consecutive months of year-over-year gains.
A proposed bill may soon help speed up the approval process for homeowners selling their home through short sale by requiring subordinate lien holders to review and respond to short sale requests within 45 days.
Existing-home prices continued to show gains but sales fell in June with tight supplies of affordable homes limiting first-time buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
Realtors® Testify Broad Qualified Mortgage is Critical to Bringing Certainty to Housing Finance System
On July 11, 2012, the National Association of Realtors® testified before Congress, urging development of broadly defined Qualified Mortgage (QM) regulation.
"As the nation's leading advocate for home ownership and housing issues, we are pleased that Congress has approved a long-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program, which ensures access to affordable flood insurance for millions of home and business owners across the country," said NAR President Moe Veissi.
As Florida residents clean up in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Debby, many more Americans can anticipate flooding and damage during this year's hurricane season. HouseLogic.com , the award-winning comprehensive website for home owners from the National Association of Realtors®, offers valuable resources and information to help residents clean up after floods.
Developing and reporting property values more accurately is critical to improving market performance, reducing risk and strengthening the housing finance system, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
As Americans prepare to celebrate Independence Day next week, thousands of them will flock to places like Mount Vernon, Monticello and Peacefield to learn and understand more about our country's history and the men and women who shaped its future. The homes of founding fathers like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were more than shelter; they were places of respite, reflection and inspiration.
Pending home sales bounced back in May, matching the highest level in the past two years, and are well above year-ago levels, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Both monthly and annual gains were seen in every region.
HouseLogic.com, the award-winning comprehensive website for home owners from the National Association of Realtors®, is conducting a contest offering a chance to win a home renovation valued at $20,000. The contest runs today through July 16.

A Novel
The Ark
A Novel
When brilliant archaeologist Dilara Kenner is contacted by Sam Watson, an old family friend who says that he has crucial information about her missing father, Dilara abandons her Peruvian dig and rushes to Los Angeles to meet him. But at the airport, Sam speaks instead of Noah's Ark—the artifact her father had long been searching for—and the possible death of billions. Before Sam can explain, he collapses. With his dying breath, he urges Dilara to find Tyler Locke—a man she's never heard of.
Two days later Dilara manages to track down former combat engineer Tyler Locke on an oil rig off Newfoundland. Her helicopter transport goes down well short of the oil rig's landing pad and Dilara and those aboard nearly drown. No sooner is Dilara safely on the rig than she convinces Tyler the crash was no accident. Tyler agrees to help her uncover the secret behind Noah's Ark and, more important, her father's disappearance. As the picture begins to come into focus, they realize they have just seven days to find the Ark before its secret is used to wipe out civilization once again.
With a chilling premise and a blistering pace, Boyd Morrison combines all the best elements of a blockbuster thriller with an intelligent and fascinating exploration of one of the Old Testament's great mysteries.

Topic: UK support group?
Hi all,
I have been looking around for a carer's support group down here in Oxford, UK, but I am struggling to find anything that is outside of working hours or specific to CC (although this is unsurprising!). I'm a psychologist by trade and I know how important it is to have support from others who are going through similar experiences, hence joining this group. I was wondering whether anyone has every organised a meet-up in the UK at any point or even a Facebook group? I see that a few of our US members have met up and have found this really helpful. Anyway, I feel that further developing a good support network in the UK could be really good and I wondered what our UK members think about this? Maybe there is already a group that meet-up and I don't know about it?

"Between Jan. 11 and Aug. 16 of 2012, we had 91 requests for industrial buildings. But when we broke it down, we couldn't offer anything to 47 percent (of the prospects), said Ashley Steenman of the Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance. Although the city has no shortage of vacant buildings, it does lack a specific type of building very much in demand: structures containing at least 100,000 square feet and at least 30 feet of clearance between floor and ceiling.
As I mentioned, there's nothing particularly new about this shortage. Twenty-nine years ago this month, I wrote a story that began this way: "A lack of vacant, high-quality industrial buildings may be costing Fort Wayne jobs." The Alliance, city, county and Airport Authority deserve credit for tackling the problem at long last.
But if the lack of supply is both obvious and longstanding, why haven't private developers already profited by meeting the demand?
"It's an election year, and there's been a fear of economic uncertainty. Some markets are more risk-averse, and we're seeing that here," said Patrick Dooley, vice president/airport development.
Developer Barry Sturges, who in 1984 expressed concern that Fort Wayne was at a competitive disadvantage when trying to attract industries that "want to come into a town and be open in 90 days," added that post-bailout lenders have also become more cautious, reluctant to fund construction of so-called "spec" ("speculative") buildings for which there is no immediate buyer or rent-paying tenant.
A few years ago, of course, economic-development leaders insisted Fort Wayne could attract more high-paying jobs if only it would provide large tracts of "shovel-ready" land capable of accommodating industrial tenants needing to build quickly. The county spent $1.4 million on 150 acres near the General Motors plant and the land remains largely undeveloped, and off the tax rolls, today.
Perhaps the best part of the current proposal is that it does not anticipate a similar large up-front investment from government. For one thing, two of the sites being specifically promoted in the Alliance proposal – 35 acres behind the General Mills warehouse on Bluffton and one of three sites near Fort Wayne International Airport – are already owned by government.
If the area seems to be targeting the area near the airport, that may not be an accident. Dooley noted that the recent installation of sewers along Airport Expressway toward Interstate 69 and the nearby GM plant could boost the entire corridor – a corridor that includes the Franklin Electric headquarters now under construction.
Steenman said developers who find tenants able to create at least 50 jobs paying an average of at least $20 an hour can qualify for incentives designed to encourage risk. And at a projected construction cost of between $4 million and $10 million, the risk will be considerable. Those incentives include the forgiveness of real estate taxes for up to three years and the payment of interest costs on the developer's loan if the building is not sold or leased within 12 months.
But County Commissioner Nelson Peters and developer Bill Bean say the proposal to "consider" paying interest costs after the fact misses the point. Developers need an incentive to begin a project, they said, even though Bean bristles at the notion that other developers could be competing for business using his tax dollars.
The programs seem to pose minimal risk to public dollars. Still, I can't help but remember back to 1983 when developer Sam Fletcher walked into the office, told me he was frustrated with the lack of competitors' willingness to do spec projects and pledged to build some himself. By the following year he had spent $1 million on three buildings in an industrial park off Engle Road.
But those buildings all contained 20,000 square feet or less, and even Fletcher admitted a developer couldn't afford to erect, heat, cool, insure and pay taxes on a building of 40,000 square feet or more that might remain empty for months or years.
"If there's a proven need, we need to do what we can do," Peters said. I suppose so, but it's too bad that government – yet again – must take the lead.

Notting Hill (1999)
49 mistakes
Directed by: Roger Michell
Starring: Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Rhys Ifans, Richard McCabe, Tim McInnerny, James Dreyfus, Dylan Moran
Continuity mistake: At the bookstore, in the wide shots the surveillance monitor is sitting in the center of four large books, yet in the close-up of the monitor, showing Rufus, the shoplifter, there is another book lying on the larger books, to the left of the monitor.
Continuity mistake: Every time they show the outside of the bookstore, on the left you see the same adult drying a child's tears.
Continuity mistake: When William takes Anna back to his flat, after the orange juice incident. His shirt is stained, she comes into the flat and changes. Then she leaves. When she returns to get her books, his shirt is still stained but after she kisses him the stain is gone. An impressive kiss...
Continuity mistake: When Will leaves his bookstore to get a sandwich and some orange juice there is a poster stand in front that hadn't been there when he arrived.
Continuity mistake: In one scene in the bookstore, there are three copies of a guide to Germany on the table next to Hugh Grant. In one clip, there are three spines, in the next two of the books have been turned round.
Continuity mistake: At home when William is sitting at his desk opening up to Spike about the female problem, the items on his desk change their positions between the wide shots and the close-ups.
Continuity mistake: Despite the passage of time, every time we see the back of the door in the book shop the same post is visible in the basket.
Continuity mistake: When Will detects Rufus the thief on the monitor only the picture in close-up shows him in action. All other shots show him at a different place on the left side of the screen.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where they are all having a farewell dinner at Tony's restaurant. At the end of the meal they are all scattered around the restaurant, the camera is on Bella and Honey and in the background, outside the restaurant, 4 extras walk past, 3 at the front and one behind. The next shot is at the window where Max and William are sat, again the 4 extras walk past in exactly the same order and positions. They are the same people because one of them has a pink top on and you see that twice.
Continuity mistake: When William is interviewing Anna in the hotel suite, behind the lever door handles, there are two wide, brass, open lattice finger plates, which change to narrow, brass, closed lattice finger plates.
Continuity mistake: When Anna visits Will's place for the first time there is a plant and an open window when you look from the entrance into the apartment. Later, after she has left, there is no plant and a shutter pulled down.
Continuity mistake: When Will leaves after the interview his formerly brown jacket is grey and his hair is differently combed.
Continuity mistake: At the period film set, Will's glasses vanish as he is getting up to leave.
Continuity mistake: Will has just spilled orange juice all over Anna's shirt and is telling her that she could go change at his house. The left side of his face is fully bathed in sunlight in shots from the front and is in the shadows in shots from behind.
Continuity mistake: Will and Anna are having dinner after watching a movie, just before Will confronts the group of rude men. The menu on their table is either folded or not throughout the scene.
Continuity mistake: Will is about to try to scale the fence a second time. Anna's right arm is on her hip in shots from the front and down by her side in shots of her back.
Continuity mistake: When William is about to jump over the private garden fence, Anna lowers her arm. A frame later, from a different angle, it's up and she's lowering it again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are all having a farewell dinner at Tony's restaurant, first the spaghetti is in the large bowl with Tony mixing, then suddenly the spaghetti has been dished to to each person's individual bowls.
Continuity mistake: The guy that steals a book has his hair either combed or messy depending on the angle.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where William visits Anna on the set of her period film and they have a discussion near the trailers, the same man pushing a trolley is in not one but three cuts back to Anna.

The basis amount is crucial in determining any capital gains tax bill you owe when you sell your holdings. It also could add to any capital gains tax loss you want to use.
Generally, you subtract the price you paid for an asset from its sale price to arrive at your taxable basis. However, reinvested earnings affect basis. Here's how it works.
You bought 100 shares of a stock for $1,000 in 2008, and that year had dividends of $100 reinvested. In 2009, you got another $200 in dividends and capital gains distributions, again reinvested.
Tax law considers these reinvested earnings as paid to you even though you didn't actually have the cash in your hand. The Internal Revenue Service says the earnings were "constructively received" by you, meaning the money in your account belonged to you and you could have taken it out if you wished. These earnings are reported on Form 1099-DIV, and you must pay taxes on the amounts in the years you receive them.
Last year, you sold all your stock for $1,500. Here's where your reinvested dividends can help reduce your taxable gains.
Take your $1,000 original purchase price and add the $300 that you reinvested -- and already paid tax on -- when you filed your 2008 and 2009 returns. This gives you an adjusted cost basis of $1,300. This is the amount you subtract from your sale price of $1,500, meaning you have taxable gain of only $200 instead of $500.
If you don't account for reinvested distributions, you'll end up giving Uncle Sam tax money a second time when you sell.
And if you're looking to take advantage of a capital loss to reduce other gains, a wrong basis amount could cheat you out of the full benefit of that tax advantage.
For example, let's say in the scenario above you sold your stock for $800, thinking you'd use the capital loss to offset gains you made on another holding. However, you're not getting the best possible tax loss unless you take into account your reinvested earnings.
If you simply subtract your original investment of $1,000 from your sale proceeds of $800, you get a $200 loss. Your true loss is larger.
That extra $300 in losses could make a difference in your final tax bill.
To make sure you don't overpay the IRS on your investment gains or lose out on a valuable tax-loss deduction, hang on to all your stock and fund account statements.
These documents will show you exactly how much in additional purchases, either directly or with reinvested funds, you made during the life of your account. The statements also should reflect any fees and charges you paid to acquire or redeem fund shares. While these amounts are not tax-deductible, the IRS says you can usually add them to your cost of the shares and thereby increase your basis.
The paperwork collection may mean an extra folder in your filing cabinet, but it will help you figure the correct cost basis to calculate a capital gain or loss. And that could mean extra cash in your wallet at tax time.

CHARLOTTE—For just a moment, let's look into the future.
Next Sunday, Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith will stand at the post-game interview podium deep inside Soldier Field, and he will be asked how his team prepared to face the Panthers and their dynamic second-year quarterback, Cam Newton.
VIDEO: Cam Newton's last-gasp attempt comes up short in loss
There's a good chance he'll say something like this: "We knew we would be challenged by that offense in a lot of different ways. ... It's been a challenge since that guy's been in the league. He's a different kind of quarterback. We just had to hang in there."
That's exactly what Dallas coach Jason Garrett said after his Cowboys faced Newton at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday. And it's the exact same message Seahawks coach Pete Carroll delivered two weeks earlier, when his team visited Charlotte.
And, unless the Panthers can figure something out quickly, Smith will follow up that comment with something like this: "I thought we did a great job throughout the game. We created a number of different three-and-outs."
Yep, that's what Garrett said Sunday, and the same message Carroll relayed two weeks earlier. Both the Cowboys and Seahawks left Charlotte with wins, which is really all that matters in a bottom-line business.
Cam Newton is dangerous, but he hasn't been dangerous, if that makes sense.
The perfect example came on Carolina's opening drive of the second quarter. Trailing 3-0, the Panthers took over on their own 20 after a touchback. In nine plays, Newton marched his team down to the Cowboys' 6, and he was brilliant. He found tight end Greg Olsen for a 14-yard first down. He scrambled 24 yards for another first, and then 20 more for yet another yardstick-mover.
The stadium was buzzing. The Cowboys were reeling. Newton was beaming.
And then, it happened. On second-and-goal from the Cowboys' 6, he threw an interception, his sixth of the season. Newton threw his fifth touchdown pass of the season on Carolina's next drive, and the Panthers took a 7-3 lead into halftime.
With every give this season, there's been a little more take for Newton and the Panthers.
"It feels like we've been finding a way to lose the game rather than win it," Newton said. "Offensively, defensively, on special teams. Everybody has to do better, including myself. Just take accountability."
A season that started with playoff dreams and Super Bowl aspirations has become basically a disaster. Carolina is 1-5, and most fingers are being pointed at Newton. The fact that those five losses weren't completely Newton's fault, obviously, can get lost in the mob mentality.
On Sunday, receivers dropped passes. Defenders dropped potential interceptions. The nine penalties weren't Newton's fault and neither was the defensive line's inability to get much pressure on Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.
That's a guy who knows all about Newton's spotlight situation.
"You just know that every week, you're great or you're terrible of you're semi-terrible or semi-great," Romo said. "It just goes with playing in the National Football League. What you find is that all you need to do as a football team is figure out how to get better and be playing your best football when it counts, in the times that matter."
For the Cowboys, Sunday was one of those times that matter. They were just 2-3 on the season, despite ranking second in the NFL in total defense and sixth in total offense. A team with the ability to win a Super Bowl was in danger of falling into an imposing hole.
Romo wasn't perfect Sunday, but he was clean. He completed 24 of 34 passes for 227 yards and orchestrated five scoring drives, including a 10-play drive late in the fourth quarter that led to a go-ahead field goal.
"I think Tony does a great job handling those situations," Garrett said. "He got us into something we liked and gave us a chance to kick that winner."
In the future, Newton can help make the Panthers into a winner. He obviously has the talent. For now, though, he's just the quarterback of a 1-5 football team.

A STROUD motorcyclist died while taking part in the Isle of Man TT races this week.
Bob Price, 65, was an experienced rider who died after a collision in the Supersport category race on Monday.
His death is currently under investigation and a coroner has been informed.
The tragedy happened in the village of Ballaugh on the third of Mr Price's four planned laps.
He came off at a humpback bridge which ended a straight section of the 37.5-mile course.
Ballaugh Bridge provides a kink through the village road and riders commonly fall off there.
Five minutes before he raced Mr Price spoke to Minchinhampton builder John Cooper, 54.
The two had known each other for several years and Mr Price had told Mr Cooper John he was looking forward to the race.
"He was a genuinely nice guy. He was a very calm person who we never saw upset," said Mr Cooper, father of promising young rider Dan Cooper.
"It is incredibly sad," added Mr Cooper, who heard of the incident when Dan returned from his own ride and said there was a lot of debris at the bridge.
Around two hours later it emerged Mr Price had been involved and had died from his injuries.
Fred Redding, 72, was Bob's mechanic from 1985 until 2007.
He told the SNJ: "Bob was an excellent mechanic and rider.
"He was a very good friend and we had a lot of good times together.
"He will be dearly missed."
His wife Hazel Redding added: "It hasn't really sunk in yet."
Mr Price owned a car body repair shop on Chalford Industrial Estate. Fellow traders on the estate declined to comment following the news.
Having first competed in the TT in 1992, 'Bomb', as he was known, was an enthusiastic rider who achieved a podium position in the MGP Junior Classic and Senior Classic rides in 2002.
The news of his death was broken by the Auto Cycle Union (ACU) on Monday. The ACU passed on its "deepest sympathy" to Bob's family and friends.
SNJ readers have paid tribute to Bomb through some touching messages:
Graham and Lynn Yateman said: "We have known Bomb for many years. He was a dedicated racer and a true sports man, he will be sadly missed."
Family friend Mark Tremlin said: "So sad to hear of the death at the TT of Bob "Dicer" Price, a friend since school and an all round nice guy."
Martin Vincent added: "I've know Bob for more than 10 years. He always worked on my cars and always to the highest standard. Its a great loss but I know he always enjoyed his racing and perhaps would have wished to go that way. God bless you Bob."
Fellow bike enthusiast Joe Green said: "I have known Bob for over 12 years. I first met him at the 2002 Manx Grand Prix and we soon became friends. Bob was an excellent mechanic and rider and dedicated to his road racing. A truly great guy and sportsman. He will be sadly missed. So sad to hear of his death at the TT. Bless you Bob. RIP."
Jacqueline Kroft Burgon sent in this comment.
"I had been phoning Bob for the last couple of days and so decided to pop by this morning to ask him about my car.
"He's usually working on some classic on a Saturday morning. As I approached, I noticed there wasn't the usual array of cars lined up waiting for him. Then I saw the flowers and heartfelt notices by his door.
"I can't tell you what a loss this is for me or anyone who had the pleasure of working with him. Bob was a bright character and a masterful bike/car man.
"I used to enjoy chatting with him as he had a Zen-like approach to life.
"There was invariably some interesting person dropping by at the same time with an unusual automobile and story.
"Always a happy moment at his workshop, where conversations would drift to the sunny side of the street.
"There were occasions when Bob would return from one of his races sporting an injury or two or three.
"We would talk about it being the last time. I guess this would be the only way Bob could make it the last time. There is comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved.
"He will be missed by many and today is a very sad day for me. RIP Bob, it was a privilege to know you. My sympathies to the family."
Peter Arnold of PACRE Honda said sent in these thoughts.
"My sincere thoughts to his family and whilst a sad loss, Bob lived for his racing, in England, Isle of Man and in Belgium, Bob was a pleasure to know and meet up with."

Grant contracting: The transition from the CCR to SAM
The new System for Award Management (SAM) is designed to streamline the federal grant award and contracting process
If you have applied for a federal grant, you should be aware that you must have registered with the Central Contactor Registry (CCR) and have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS). That system is about to change - if the migration process can get smoothed out. The current process was to have taken place in February 2012 and is now on hold until the end of July 2012.
The current federal contracting system is separated into nine different departmental processes. The new System for Award Management (SAM) is designed to funnel all of these departments into one data system and streamline the federal contracting process, including the grant award and contracting process.
The migration also includes Federal Business Operations (FedBizOps), Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPRS), Electronic Subcontracting Report System (ESRS), Online Representations and Certifications Applications (ORC), Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS Next Generation), EPLS, Wage Determination OnLine and the Catalog of Federal Assistance (CFDA). The feds are hoping to create efficiencies through integration and consolidation.
According to the General Services Administration, SAM's first phase will include the capabilities of Central Contractor Registration (CCR)/Federal Agency Registration (FedReg), Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS).
In preparation for the launch, GSA conducted extensive testing internally and in coordination with federal agencies using the data from these systems in their own contracting, grants, finance and other departments. The testing was very valuable and will focus the efforts of the next 60 days.
SAM will reduce the burden on those seeking to do business with the government. Vendors will be able to log into one system to manage their entity information in one record, with one expiration date and through one streamlined business process. Federal agencies will be able to look in one place for entity pre-award information. Everyone will have fewer passwords to remember and see the benefits of data reuse as information is entered into SAM once and reused throughout the system.
At the end of July 2012, the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system is going away. CCR, along with Federal Agency Registration (FedReg), the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS), will be migrated into the new System for Award Management, or SAM.
For those of you familiar with this effort, you know it will reduce the number of passwords you need to remember, reduce the number of systems you need to enter and interact with and reduce data redundancy by sharing the data across the award life cycle.
IBM designed this new system. The federal government will complete the development of each phase of the transition and enhancements to SAM to increase competition and opportunities for small and innovative businesses. It is designed to make the grant contracting system more user-friendly.
The grant process will require one login, which provides access to all information needed to make an award determination reducing the time to complete an award. For the grant process, the system is to be capable of posting solicitation and award data and maintaining government-wide contract awards data. It will also manage the CFDA catalog data.
So, what should you do to make this transition work for your department? First, you will need to do nothing if you have a current CCR and DUNS in the system. Your data will be migrated (hopefully) into SAM. When it is time to complete your annual update you will go to SAM.gov, which is currently offline. When SAM is ready, you will simply create a user account by following the directions on the website. Then, follow site instructions to validate and update your information migrated over from the CCR.
Until SAM.gov and its system is fully operational, business as usual will continue under the CCR/FedReg/ORCA/EPLS until the end of July. Should you have any current difficulties with the CCR/DUNS/SAM systems, you may direct any questions to email@example.com.
While waiting, you may want to grab a tall lemonade and curl up in the shade with your favorite grant solicitation.

I imagine the next week will feel very much like the countdown for a NASA space shuttle mission. "T-7 days and counting. Activate all personnel. Review discussed layout. Load in tables, chairs, and art supplies. Backup and review tech systems. Complete preliminary security and housekeeping inspections. T-0. Unlock the doors." Admittedly, this is both exciting and terrifying. After nearly a year of planning and preparation, Star Studio will reopen to the public on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 11 am sharp with a very different vibe.
And so the story goes, on a cloudy day in March, a team of museum educators drafted a dreamy vision statement based on results gleaned from the 2012 IMA Family Study: "Inspired by the IMA's collection, its resources, and related aspects of the visual arts, programs and activities in Star Studio encourage families to imagine, explore, create, share, and collaborate with art in new ways." We asked both members and non-members to test activities based on these five overarching themes during a set of focus groups.
In each section, adults are provided with the tools to teach fundamental art concepts such as color, line, shape, and texture, to children under the age of twelve in fun and innovative ways. In the first section, Imagine, visitors are invited to think creatively about the art-making process. Rules, instructions, and templates are absent. Visitors are encouraged to create art from a set of traditional and non-traditional media, including paint, drawing materials, and clay, but also twist ties, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts. The second section, Explore, includes a tactile table designed to stimulate the senses, promote creativity, and assist in the development of fine motor skills. For the third experience, visitors are invited to Create. They can use the iPad Free Draw Station to create their own works of art. Upon completion, visitors may email their drawings to themselves, friends, and family. Another activity in this section invites young visitors to engage in imaginary play. By donning a construction hat and pretending to be construction workers kids help build R. Indiana City using an assortment of building blocks. Share allows visitors to write or draw responses to a phrase on a large-scale chalkboard wall. Additionally, Share includes an interactive photo booth, giving visitors the opportunity to capture images of the works they created, which are also projected on a wall. And lastly, Collaborate encourages participants to socialize with other patrons by working together on a community art project.
Bonus! A series of facilitated programs are now offered in the classroom on Wednesdays and weekends. For more information, please check out our calendar.

Success from scratch: Seven counties feed kids fresh food daily
School lunches steadily more healthyGraphic: In seven counties, breakfast eaters nearly double Graphic: W.Va. school food by the numbers ALUM CREEK, W.Va. -- Kindergartners swarmed around the salad bar in the Midway Elementary cafeteria, so many, two adults had to help. The kids pointed at raw vegetable and fruit slices - peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, carrots, spinach, kiwi, oranges, apples."I want those orange things," one child said, pointing at a melon. The next loaded up on peppers and celery sticks.At the tables, other kindergartners made inroads on the main dish, lasagna Florentine and Caesar salad, ignoring the salad bar."Either way, they eat good food," Principal Cheryl Workman said. "We give them choices."She drifted around the cafeteria, smiling and chatting, looking for kids who weren't eating lasagna, encouraging them to try a bite. "A lot of kids eat a fast-food diet, and they're leery of food they're not familiar with. If we can get them to try it, lots of times, they like it."Last summer, seven of West Virginia's poorest counties - Lincoln, Mingo, McDowell, Clay, Gilmer, Fayette and Mason - agreed to try cooking lunch and breakfast with fresh ingredients all year, five days a week. They would offer meals free to all students who want to eat.They are guinea pigs. State schools Superintendent Jorea Marple wants to spread healthy cooking statewide. Their challenge: Prove it can be done. Avoid fattening, processed, prepackaged food. Find things kids like, and stay within budget.Marple is concerned about obese children at risk for future diabetes, children who come to school hungry, and the impact on children's schoolwork:
One out of four West Virginia fifth-graders is obese, and one in four has high blood pressure, cholesterol or both, according to West Virginia University. One in five West Virginia homes sometimes runs out of food, according to a recent Food Research & Action Center study. Children who eat breakfast are less likely to be obese, studies show. They do better academically. They concentrate better and are less likely to overeat later. "When I first heard we were going to do this, I thought it was going to be impossible," Workman said. "I worried about schedules and money and would the kids like it. But after we tweaked the schedule a couple of times, it's been great."Early resultsSince September, the number of children eating school breakfast in the seven counties has nearly doubled - from 42 percent to 75 percent.The federal government reimburses by meal, so the counties received more than a million extra federal dollars to pay all or most of the extra expenses.
"The news is good, very good," said Rick Goff, director of the state Office of Child Nutrition. "This is a potential game-changer if it goes statewide."In Lincoln County alone, the number of children eating school breakfast more than doubled in the first four months, from 40 percent in 2010 to 88 percent in 2011. Lunch-eaters jumped from 67 percent to 80 percent."West Virginia is to be congratulated," said James Harmon, regional nutrition director for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "I'm not aware of another state that has taken the initiative to reach more children while improving the nutritional quality of school meals.""Now that we know it works, we plan to offer cook-from-scratch training for cooks in every county next summer," Goff said."We have a lot of work to do. A few counties are cooking with fresh ingredients 95 to 100 percent of the time, others do it half the time, others are 25 percent or lower."We'll know the complete story [for the seven-county project] in a few months when we see if the tardies decreased, behavior problems diminished and absenteeism lowered. From what we hear, the answer will be yes."The state Department of Education Research Division is evaluating the project, talking with parents, teachers, kids, looking at attendance and discipline records. Next fall, they will look at WESTEST scores. The seven-county project stands in sharp contrast to Kanawha County. Last fall, Kanawha cooks were abruptly ordered at the start of school to cook from scratch, but given no extra training or explanation. Unhappy cooks packed school board meetings to complain. The county backed off.There have been no such protests in demonstration counties. Their cooks got advance training. "We were all on board when school started," Miller said. "We had training, recipes, equipment." They talked about childhood obesity.Isn't it easier just to open prepackaged lasagna and heat it in a microwave?"Yes, that's easier, but this is better for the kids," Midway head cook Diana Adkins said.Adkins has strong words for cooks who say scratch cooking forces them to make tasteless food. "There's no excuse for that. We can flavor food with all kinds of herbs, garlic, lemon and so forth. If you're a cook, you make it taste good."She worries about kids eating junk food. In 2010, 30 percent of Lincoln fifth-graders had high blood pressure. Twenty seven percent were obese. Adkins knows they are at higher risk of diabetes and heart attacks.Principal Workman credits several things for the boom in eaters: "The children like the food because we have wonderful cooks." The kids get choices with the salad bar. When everybody eats free, more kids eat. "Nobody is identified as poor." More kids eat breakfast served later, at second period. The staff encourages students to try new foods, and the afternoon snack program familiarizes children with a variety of vegetables and fruits. "Kids are going home and saying, 'I tried this, and I tried that,'" Workman said. "I got a call from a mother who said her son came home and asked if they could have asparagus for dinner. She said, 'I never in the world would have thought he'd eat that.'"Some children complain that servings are too small."We're not going to offer super-size portions," said Rick Goff, state Office of Child Nutrition director. "They can have all the seconds on salad they want. We want to help solve a problem, not contribute to it."This is school food?
Soon after she became superintendent in spring 2010, Marple hit the road and started visiting schools. "She'd drop by my office to tell me about the chicken nuggets and corn dogs she'd seen kids eating," Goff said. "West Virginia leads the nation in obesity, diabetes and heart disease," Marple said. "Do we only fix these problems after they happen? Or do we also begin to fix things from the get-go?"It's going to save money in the end if we feed all our children and encourage them to eat nutritious meals," she said. "Then maybe there won't be 30 percent of our fifth-graders who are obese. And maybe there won't be 25 percent who have high blood pressure and high cholesterol."For years, as director of the Office of Child Nutrition, Goff has waged war on empty calories. He and his staff got junk food out of school vending machines, drove soda pop from the schools, and stiffened the state's nutritional standards."I've been waiting for a long time for a superintendent to make meal preparation a priority," Goff said.Last fall, Goff invited Marple to eat at three Cabell County schools where cooks prepare meals from fresh ingredients five days a week. "I wanted her to see schools where it's being done right," he said."After that visit, she asked me, 'What can we do to spread this statewide?' I didn't have to be asked twice."They decided to do a trial run first in a few counties. Goff started recruiting. The seven counties volunteered.By the end of December, the number of breakfasts served in the seven counties had skyrocketed from 43,600 a day to 74,900 a day. The lunch count rose to 75,597. In four months, the extra meals pulled in more than $1 million in additional federal funds, compared to 2010."Cooking from scratch costs less than processed food," Goff said, "so you save money on the food. Then you have the extra reimbursement."The federal government reimburses $2.51 per lunch for a child who is eligible for free meals and $2.11 for a reduced-price meal. The county receives 28 cents for each paying child, even if the school serves the meal for free. A separate, lower reimbursement scale is set for breakfast."If you serve a lot more kids, you can break even on breakfast, with federal reimbursement, especially if a lot of kids qualify for free and reduced-price meals," Goff said."Even if you end up paying a little more overall, it's worth it, for what the kids learn in life skills," Goff said. "I think people would protest now if we tried to take it away."Why is this working?Goff's office doesn't order counties to quit serving prepackaged food. "We wouldn't want to," he said. "For it to work, they have to buy in. But we can try to inspire them."Last summer, his office arranged for cooks from the seven counties to train for two days with veteran Cabell County cooks, learning tricks of turning out scratch meals for hundreds of kids.They seasoned raw chicken with oil/herb rub and steamed hundreds of bunches of broccoli. They learned to use tools that puree or chop hundreds of vegetables. They baked hundreds of pizza bread rolls. They flavored with garlic and onion powder, lemon, ginger and herbs, to make food tasty. They learned how to make various salad dressings and homemade croutons."It's no easy thing, to cook for that many kids," said Kristi Blower, project coordinator. "It's one thing to make it taste good for your family, but another to cook for hundreds, with nutrition guidelines to follow.""You learn to make different choices," she said: fresh marinated chicken chunks, for instance, vs. prepackaged, chemical-laced, breaded chicken nuggets.The seven counties got necessary kitchen equipment and student-tested recipes. "When school started, we were ready to go," said Kay Maynard, Mingo County food services supervisor."We used to have a lot of kids trying to pay attention on an empty stomach," she said. "That's not so anymore."Gilmer CountyAt Gilmer County high school, more than 80 percent of students are eating school lunch. "That's unheard of, nationally," Goff said.In mid-March, Gilmer high schoolers rolled through the lunch line to pick up rotisserie chicken and roasted garlicky red potatoes. At the "Grab 'n' Go" station outside the kitchen, a few picked up pizza bread. Students wiped out the salad bar.Last year in December, only 46 percent of all students ate breakfast. Now it's 87 percent."Last fall, a group of my teachers came to me and said, 'This is the best thing that's happened,'" Gilmer County High School Principal Nasia Butcher said. "They say they're seeing much better attention and focus, much better concentration since this started.""We may not break even this first year," food services director Joe Frashure said. Fifty nine percent of Gilmer students qualify for free or reduced meals. "But this has been so good for the kids, we've pretty much decided that, if we have to pay a little more for it, it's well worth it.""This obesity problem was created in a generation, and it's going to take a generation to solve it," Goff said.Three non-demonstration counties have already started a universal free breakfast. Eight others eliminated the 40-cent "reduced price" charge.The next step for West Virginia school food: four cooking-from-scratch trainings next summer, then regional trainings through the school year. "It looks like we're going to have more counties wanting to send cooks than we'll have room for," he said.Reach Kate Long at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1798.

Guys, I need some advice an my throw. I have improved a lot on accuracy and distance so it's like that at the moment:
Pure power rip: ~425' - spread left/right (where 90% of the discs land in I would say) ~150'
Controlled DD: ~400' - left/right ~100'
FD: 360' - left/right ~90'
Midrange: 300' - left/right ~ 75'
I know my technique is far from perfect, but the last few weeks I really have a bad tendency to accidentally release it on a hyzer angle pretty often while the same time letting it start to the right (see the last two thrown in my video, starting at 1:00) I don't know, but my back is bent pretty strange while I go through, and I think I rip and rotate too much with my right shoulder which might cause that strange back position.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Gov. Jerry Brown has a fight on his hands over his sweeping plan to overhaul the way public education is funded -- and it's coming from fellow Democrats.
A day after Brown warned legislators they would face the "battle of their lives" if they challenged his proposal, Senate Democrats on Thursday offered their own plan, which they characterized as more equitable to all schools.
"The governor, obviously, came out firing yesterday, and we take it all in stride," said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento.
Brown has called his plan a "civil rights issue" because it would beef up funding for poor and otherwise disadvantaged students. The Senate Democrats say they agree with the governor's principle of pouring more money into the education of those students, but say he's going about it the wrong way.
The battle was sparked by November's passage of Proposition 30, a tax measure that restored education spending to levels California hasn't seen in years.
Of about $49 billion that will go into K-12 spending, Brown wants to target an additional $2 billion toward school districts with high concentrations of poor student, foster youth and those struggling to learn English. But a bill introduced by the Senate Democrats Thursday would spread the money evenly with higher grants to all districts. The governor argues that doing it that way would dilute the impact the money would have on disadvantaged students.
"If you spread it out to all the districts, it will have a trivial effect," Brown said Wednesday. "If you put it into the districts that have high concentrations of poverty, it will have a very powerful effect."
But Steinberg, surrounded by co-authors of the bill, SB69 -- Sens. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo; Kevin DeLeon, D-Los Angeles; Carol Liu, D-Glendale; Ricardo Lara, D-Los Angeles; and Mark Leno-D San Francisco -- said that because the additional money would go to districts whose disadvantaged student population is 50 percent or more, many poor students in wealthier districts would remain "invisible."
Senate Democrats propose raising per-pupil grants to all schools and would fold a 35 percent supplemental increase for low-income schools into the grants. They say that would ensure that the extra money follows disadvantaged students, no matter where they go to school.
"We ask the question: Are we concerned about poor school districts, or are we concerned about poor schools and poor kids?" Steinberg said. "The governor's way of doing it -- not his goals or intent -- leaves poor kids who are in non-poor school districts invisible. This, too, is a civil rights issue."
The Senate Democrats also say they want more accountability in a new funding formula. They would require school districts to meet certain curriculum standards that lead to a "pathway to college and-or a high-wage career," Steinberg said.
Those schools that failed to meet the standards would lose flexibility on how they could spend school funds and fall under the authority of the state and counties.
Under the Democrats' proposal, a change in the funding formula wouldn't take effect for more than a year, in fiscal year 2014-15.
"We'd have a couple of extra months during the summer after all the budget work is done to tie up all the loose ends to make sure we get it right," said Leno, the budget chairman. "There's a lot on the governor's plate, and there's a lot on our plate as well. This shouldn't be rushed."

Norris was injured in a gun accident in 1997, according to NBC Washington. He lost much of his upper and lower jaws as well as his lips and nose. The 36-hour surgery required replacing both jaws, teeth, tongue, and skin and underlying nerve and muscle tissue from scalp to neck, the release said. "People used to stare at me because of my disfigurement," Norris said. "Now they can stare at me in amazement and in the transformation I have taken. I am now able to walk past people and no one even gives me a second look." Norris is now able to smile and show expression. The motor function on the right side of his face is about 80 percent of normal and motor function on the left side is about 40 percent, according to his doctors. He can smell, taste and eat.

Profar closing in on playing in the field
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Jurickson Profar is close to full strength in his right shoulder and being able to play the field again.
"I'm getting there," the Rangers second baseman said Monday morning. "This week, I don't know when, maybe today or tomorrow, I'm going to do relays. Once I do that, I'll be ready for the games."
Profar has been limited by shoulder tendinitis since the beginning of Spring Training, which has relegated him to designated hitter in the Cactus League. He would rather play second base and expects to be prepared to do that by Opening Day.
"I've been working on everything," Profar said. "I've been taking ground balls. They are still the same ground balls. And I have been working around the bag on double plays."
He has also been working on his hitting. Profar went into Monday's game against the Reds with nine hits in 29 at-bats for the spring. He was 0-for-5 against left-handers.
Profar is a naturally right-handed hitter who started to switch-hit after being signed by the Rangers in 2009. But he was better from the left side last year, hitting .258 as opposed to .188 as a right-handed hitter. That represented a dramatic switch from 2012 when he hit .328 from the right side and .264 from the left.
"The year before I was working really hard on my left-handed swing and that may be why I slipped from the right," Profar said. "This past offseason, I worked on both sides very hard. You have to work on both sides every side."
Profar has been getting more at-bats against right-handers during the games. But he has been coming out early to face left-handed pitchers during their morning live batting practice sessions.
"He has been doing a good job," manager Ron Washington said. "He has been hitting the ball well. He's young, he'll figure it out."

Technic Designer Lars didn't have to look far for inspiration when he set out to design the new Cargo Plane (42025). He's a licensed pilot himself! We talked to him about the new model and his own passion for planes.
Technic Designer Lars didn't have to look far for inspiration when he set out to design the new Cargo Plane (42025). He's a licensed pilot himself! We talked to him about the new model and his own passion for planes.
So, Lars, what's the coolest thing about the new Cargo Plane?
"Definitely that it has so many functions. I've designed aircrafts before, the Rescue Helicopter 8068 in 2011 (no longer in stores) and the Jet Plane 9394 in 2012 , but this is the biggest and most detailed aircraft we have ever released. You have the three manual functions controlled by joysticks: the elevator, ailerons and flaps. There are four motorized functions: the spinning rotors, the front AND back cargo bay doors open and close, and you can raise and lower the retractable tricycle landing gear.
Even with all these functions, we were able to design it using existing Technic elements, all 1,297 of them, so no new bricks had to be produced for this model. I think that's pretty cool.
Is the model based on a real life plane?
No, as with most of our models, we research what real life designs are out there right now. We find inspiration online, we go on field trips to manufacturers, etc. And then we take the best of each real life model and try to build it into our designs.
Did you take a field trip to the local airport to do research this time?
I'm actually a licensed pilot myself, so I was already quite familiar with the specs, especially for smaller planes. I've had a passion for planes all my life, and 13 years ago I decided that if I seriously wanted to do something about becoming a pilot in this lifetime, now was the time. So I got my PPL (Private Pilot License) for single-engine aircrafts, and over the next years I owned shares in two planes. It was a lot of fun, but of course, whenever the weather was nice, we all each wanted to take a plane to the skies. So after a while I sold my shares, and now I'm a member of three flight clubs. This way I can always rent a plane, which works out really well for me.
Can we expect to see more Technic planes in the future?
A couple of years ago, we wouldn't have thought of releasing an aircraft this big. And here we are now. So who knows what we'll come up with next?

Topic: Please Be Aware, Medical Institutions Are A Business Too.
Hi, everyone,
Please be sure that no matter what medical institutions ,hospitals and their services are , all of them are business entities; Just like Johnson and Johnson,or pharmaceutical companies like Roche or Pfizer, nothing is guaranteed even their names are as good as gold.
In short, the final decision of choosing your course of treatments is totally up to the patients as well as the caregivers. We can only make suggestions based on experiences and not the final outcome of the treatment.
Buyer be aware.
God bless.

Call it Showdown Sunday, Statement Sunday, or something else. Week 15 in the NFL will have huge playoff implications. Some hot topics going in:
Colts interim coach Bruce Arians should be somebody's head coach next season.
The job Arians has done with the Colts is hard to overstate. Playoffs? Playoffs? Yes, the Colts can lock up a playoff berth Sunday by beating the Texans, and Arians' performance as interim coach should be enough to convince an NFL owner to hire him.
Arians knows quarterbacks, working for years with Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh, and now with Andrew Luck. Arians knows how to handle adversity, showing an admirable mix of compassion and leadership after Colts coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia.
We'll find out if the Colts are ready to win a huge December road game in Houston. But we already know Arians is ready.
The Ravens' decision to can Cam Cameron made sense.
The slumping Ravens (9-4) have a tough schedule to end the season—Broncos on Sunday, Giants in Week 16, at Bengals in Week 17. That factored into the decision to oust Cameron as offensive coordinator. Their offense has been inconsistent, with Von Miller and the Broncos' imposing pass rush arriving in Baltimore on Sunday. The Ravens can't fake their way into the postseason and beyond. Ray Rice, their best offensive player, can't afford to go long stretches without touches. Joe Flacco has to play better, especially if he wants the Ravens to utilize more no huddle.
History suggests Jim Caldwell can handle this role. Don't knock him because he hasn't called plays since he coached at Wake Forest. Caldwell spent years with the Colts, working on game plans with Peyton Manning and offensive coordinator Tom Moore. Caldwell has been a head coach in the NFL on a team that went to the Super Bowl. That experience will help Caldwell, because this is not an easy situation, taking over as offensive coordinator with three games left. But if the Ravens were going to make a move, coach John Harbaugh obviously felt this move had to be made.
If the Texans are carved up by Luck on Sunday, Houston has a problem.
Luck and Drew Brees lead the league with 18 interceptions. Thirteen of Luck's 18 picks have come on the road.
Despite Luck's impressive rookie season, he has had issues with turnovers on the road. The Texans host the Colts on Sunday, and if Houston loses, the Colts will have a chance to steal away the AFC South title.
Two elite quarterbacks have already lit up the Texans in their two losses—Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. If Luck comes into Houston and torches the Texans, it raises more doubt about the Texans' defense being Super Bowl ready.
A lot of NFC teams will be rooting for the Browns to knock off the Redskins.
Whether or not Robert Griffin III plays, the Redskins (7-6) can't afford to lose in Cleveland on Sunday. Having won four straight, the Redskins have morphed from a team that looked in disarray into a dangerous team. Nobody in the NFC wants to deal with trying to stop Griffin in the playoffs. If the Browns knock off the Redskins and hurt their playoff chances, a lot of teams in the NFC will say, "Thank you."
The Falcons (11-2) are no longer flying high and need a statement against the Giants.
Nothing is coming as easily for the Falcons as it did earlier in the season. Beating the Giants on Sunday won't be easy, either.
Think about this. If the Giants win Sunday, they'll have victories this season over the 49ers, Packers and Falcons. The Giants don't fear anyone in the NFC. But strange as it sounds, the team that might make the Giants most nervous in playoff matchup? The Redskins.
The 49ers need a lift from special teams Sunday night.
Andy Lee of the 49ers may be the league's best punter. His role in the 49ers' success is sometimes overlooked. The 49ers' best chance to slow Tom Brady and company is by winning the field-position battle and forcing the Patriots to execute long drives. That will be one of the great matchups Sunday night—the 49ers' physical defense against the Patriots' precision offense. I like the Patriots in this game, but Lee and the 49ers' special teams edge will make Brady's job harder.
If the Cowboys win Sunday, we have to look at them differently.
Tony Romo and the Cowboys have taken plenty of heat for fading in December. But this Cowboys team is showing resiliency heading into Sunday's crucial home game against the Steelers.
Last Sunday's come-from-behind victory over the Bengals came under nightmarish circumstances—the day after Jerry Brown of the Cowboys was killed in a car accident, and teammate Josh Brent was arrested for intoxication manslaughter. The Cowboys are 2-0 in December, and Dez Bryant has decided to delay finger surgery to play. If the Cowboys (7-6) make the playoffs after all they've been through, they'll deserve a tip of the hat.
