The wind is howling all around the station at the moment. Earlier it was snowing sideways, but now it's cleared up and is gusting up to 60mph. It's making the whitecaps tear across the water. Very pretty under a bit of moonlight when viewed from through a window or the hood of a parka. I can see why a 4-season tent, tied to the heaviest things around was recommended.
I got to see Terralab today, the new research building up the hill. It's nice and new inside, and the research is pretty incredible. There are a bunch of sensors and devices around the are that hook up to devices in the building that record or transmit data. There's a magnetometer, part of a network from the Arctic down that's reading changes in the Earth's magnetic field. There a spectrum analyzer for outdoor light which has the bonus of showing us what the UV index is currently (Palmer's right under the hole in the ozone layer). There are radio sensor that track lightning strikes around the world, seismic sensors for earthquakes, and a CNTBT (Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty) setup that measures trace amounts of radiation in the air, looking for signs of nuclear tests. Finally, there are receivers for image data from the satellites that pass overhead and a GPS correction beacon that can give you GPS coordinates to within a centimeter, good for measuring glacier recession and bird nest locations.
I'm going to flesh this out with some pictures tomorrow and put up some past entries that I've almost finish transcribing from paper. Night.
Good day today: The break-time snack was orange-julius and home-made hotpockets. Our cooks rock.
A trouble light (but no alarm) appeared on one of the fire panels today which sent a few of the us on the fire team hurrying up the road to the radio hut to see what was going on. It was the one time I'd taken off my 2-way radio and forgotten it in the other building, so I had to grab one from my office mate's collection. Doh!
We had Boating 2 training today, which is required to operate the Zodiacs here. However since the bay has filled up with blown-in brash ice , we couldn't actually get out on the water. Maybe tomorrow since it looks like it'll be clearing.
Best line read today:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS. (note: this doesn't relate to anyone here. Maybe in 6 months.)

The seals seem to like it though. I borrowed some binoculars saw that what appeared to be a couple of black blobs on some larger clumps of ice were seals (either fur, crab-eater, or elephant) sunning themselves. I didn't get around to the Hero Inlet side of the Backyard, but apparently there were over 40 of them there, hanging out while there was an easy surface available. They do this on land as well, which we'll probably see later in the season.
With the binoculars I was also able to see out to Litchfield Island and see the growing number of Adelie penguins gathering there. They've been spotted copulating and there's a station betting pool on when the first egg will be laid, now that the first penguin has been laid.
The Adelie population here has been declining in recent years. Typically this Litchfield Island is completely colonized at this point in the year, but currently the colony is tiny. This correlates to the recent reduction in the local krill population which correlates to the recent lack of sea ice which krill forage underneath. Global warming at work...
We had our second GSAR meeting, most of which was spent going over knots. It's weird that we have ultra-light high-tech gear that would have made Shackleton drool, yet it still comes down to a some sort of knot that makes the difference between a life-saving tool and a decoration at the top of the crevasse you just fell into. Knot's, like languages, are easy to remember provided you use them reasonably frequently.
Why is it that certain useless bits of information remain with one till (and probably beyond) the grave, yet things which could potentially save one's embarrassment and pain slide right out one's ear during the night. Most birthdays would escape me without a calendar and I can never remember what to do during daylight-savings (Spring forward? Spring back? Fall sideways? Who makes this stuff up???). Even important stuff for camping, like which kind of bear you can climb a tree from and which kind to play dead around, didn't stick until I lived in the mountains for a year. "Up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A" will get you far when playing Nintendo, but still leave you at hour late, scorned by loved-ones, and bear-mauled in the real world.
So we're learning knots. There's actually a whole ton of study and science that's gone into knots which most people in urban situations never need to learn so I've got some catching up to do. Fortunately there's only a tiny fraction of the knot universe that we need to familiarize ourselves with, so it's pretty doable. The bonus of being on the GSAR team is that I've been told I need to take the snowmobile out onto the glacier and get comfortable with driving it. How many ways are there to say "hell yes"?

Brash ice
One word sums up today. Penguins. Truckloads of penguins.
We crossed the final stretch of the Drake Passage in the night and arrived at King George Island in the morning. There we were to drop off four passengers plus a ton of supplies at the Copacabana field station. This station is open about half the year and is located right next to a huge penguin breeding ground. We, the lucky ducks that we were, got to help unload the boat and dig out the station from under the snow, in the process literally crossing paths with hundreds of penguins.
We gathered on deck of the LMG (Lawrence M. Gould) in our water-proof gear and mandatory "float-coats" (an up-and-coming style sure to sweep the survivalist demographic). The boat's crew then ferried us in groups across the stretch of water to the shore in Zodiacs (tough inflatable boats). It was on the crossing that I saw the best sight of the whole day: a flock of penguins bouncing through the water like little torpedoes, on their way back to the island. The sight is hard to describe; there must have been at least a dozen of them and since there were enough of them arcing out of the water to replace the ones who'd just re-submerged, they formed a steadily moving group, kind of like a slinky. I never realized penguins swam like that and apparently they can do this for hours (with occasional breaks) at a pretty steady rate of 5 knots. Apparently they have less-insulated areas under their wings so that they can use the frigid ocean water to cool themselves during these workouts. Wow.
The penguins we saw were mostly Gentoo with a few Adelie thrown in (no Chinstraps yet). They arrive at at random spots along the rocky shore and then walk down it until they get to the large group next to the field station. This meant that our movement of supplies from the beach up to the station crossed their path. A sled of gear heading up from the shore would halt approaching penguins, causing a penguin traffic jam until either we were out of the way or they broke rank and went around behind us on the shoreline. When we were out of the way the line would resume, with a few of the braver penguins leading a wave of waddling birds.
We moved a ton (literally) of supplies into the station, from research equipment to canned goods, fresh vegies and fruit. We also had some supplies for a nearby Polish station whose residents swung by to collect them. There's a bit of a neighborhood going on there, with a Polish and Brazilian station nearby (both larger and better equipped), and quite a few further away. Apparently residents hike over the glaciers or boat across the bays to have parties with each other during downtime.
I discovered that part of the computer guy's job in snow-covered field camp involves digging out the buildings where the computers live. After almost a week on the boat, the exercise felt great. I also helped bring supplies up the beach, assisted our radio guy setup the wind-generator (the station is solar and wind powered), and dug out various other bits of the camp.
By the time we were done setting up the electronics and supplies it was the afternoon and the penguin colony had grown in size quite a bit from when we arrived. There were even more than I realized initially, since they were also climbing up and gathering on the hills overlooking the beach. I'm surprised at how agile they are, and it's funny to watch them switch from waddling to sliding along on their belly when they want a change of pace.
We left the folks on station, Zodiaced back to the LMG, and had a hearty dinner from our rockin' cook Bobby. Tomorrow we arrive at Palmer! I still have to stop occasionally to look around and realize that this is my life. What a change from a month ago.
Antarctic lessons learned today:
IT work involves snow shovel and a lot of digging.
Penguins are agile and personable little critters.
Rubber pants are a godsend on an Antarctic boat ride.
If you want a frosty beer, leave it outside at sub-zero temperatures.
Red spots in the snow = Penguin poop. Look at the pictures closely.
Two more comments before I crash.
Firstly, I think that working or living on a boat such as this for any length of time will cause permanent hearing loss. There is noise everywhere, from the bass rumble of the engines to the vibration and clatter of equipment and furniture. The horror movies where some creature is lurking on a boat and the hapless victim-to-be is startled by a clinks or clunks around a corner are ridiculous. No boat is ever that quiet. Even if the crew were devoured by a giant man-eating sea turnip and the engines forcibly removed, there would still be constant clanging and rattling from things shifting around and various systems and pumps turning on and off.
Second, it is weird being in a place where energy conservation doesn't matter. The boat is actually electrically powered; the engines being diesel generators which power everything including the electric motors that drive the propellers. This is good because it simplifies things (you don't need a generator engine and a propulsion engine) and for ice breaking you can vary the speed of the propellers widely without having to have gears or worry about straining tons of moving parts. What it means though is that there is just a ton of electricity being generated on the boat and leaving things turned on has a negligible effect on how much fuel is used. It's hard to get used to leaving TVs and lights turned on but it's how things work around here, so time to adjust.
Alright, night again.
Ok, this is my first blog post and gonna be long since it's a bit overdue. This is mainly because it's the first time on this trip that I've a) had access to a computer, and b) said computer isn't waving back and forth in front of my eyeballs with the motion of the ocean. I'm posting this via email since we don't have actually have internet access on the ship and our email is send and received twice-a-day by a Rube Goldbergish process that occupies the computer guy for at least an hour (strangely though we have unlimited satellite-phone usage to the USA). So no pictures until the weekend when I should be able to get online.
I'm out in the Drake Passage at the moment, that bit of water between the tip of South America and the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. It's known to be some of the roughest seas on the planet, but we lucked out this time and it was only rough yesterday (Wed) and it's amazingly smooth today. The ship is an icebreaker which means it's pretty flat on the bottom and thus rolls with every wave or swell that comes through (there's a great analogy to politics and the lack of pronounced backbones causing wild-swinging and general nausea, but I digress). I've heard stories of the ship doing acrobatic tilts of up to 45 degrees, so the 15-20 degree rolls we had that were sending things flying off counters, tipping over chairs, and turning some passengers a bit green seem a bit tame in comparison. The boat chugs along at a pretty steady 10-12mph all day and night, so we cover a pretty good distance each day.
We're doubly lucky that the water's becoming placid since we're going to have to get out into it tomorrow (Fri) and unload things at the research station on King George island. We're dropping off five folks who will be studying penguins (Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Adelie) during their breeding season. I expect we'll see a fair number of them since they walk along the beach to their nesting grounds so our paths will be crossing. We've been told to just work around them. Sweet.
The exercise will be nice after being stuck on the boat for four days where all you can really do is sit around reading and watching movies, whiling away the hours between the cook's excellent meals (tough life, huh?). There is an exercise room with weights and a treadmill, but to use either when the boat's in motion is potentially suicidal, at least to those of us who don't have our sea legs yet. The same goes for speed-walking around the perimeter of the decks, which one lady did when it was calm out. I'm going for the chrysalis method, where the boat is my cocoon and I eat, sleep, and sit around most of the time, emerging at the end of the voyage transformed from a lowly landlubber into a swarthy seadog, with facial hair and an extra 10 pounds to ward off the cold.
Everyone I've met going to Palmer or Copa (King George Island camp) has been pretty friendly and it's an interesting crew. Some people have been doing this for years while others like myself are fresh. The common thread seems to be a fairly dynamic skill set and an outdoorsy attitude. The researchers also vary in background; some are fresh out of college and doing research before grad school, while others have been doing NSF work for a long time. The boat crew is also pretty friendly, though scarce.
This is the longest I've been on a ship and it's pretty cool. We're welcome to go up to the bridge pretty much any time and check out the views, radar, and maps. The ship has a TV system running through it with some channels showing views from the outside cameras mounted around the boat and some channels showing instrument readouts, so you can find out your lat/lon, speed, depth, distance from destination, etc. from anywhere on board. Most people are paired into rooms, but I'm sharing with 3 other guys what is essentially a converted shipping container called a "berthing van". It's down in the cargo bay and is actually pretty nice. It's got 4 bunk beds, a desk, and even a bathroom at the end with a shower. It's definitely cramped, but when the water's rough, it's the best place to be since it's low and centered and thus moves the least. This is not to say that there haven't been nights when I've been seriously concerned about being ejected from my bed, but at least there's no free-fall feeling. The van is also air-conditioned and sound-proofed so that when you close the door the roar of the ships engines is muffled to the low rumble that permeates the ship.
It's about time for bed, so I'll wrap this up by saying that I'm now officially excited about this trip. A lot of people asked if I was exited when I told them about this job, but I was too busy getting ready to be excited about what seemed somewhat of an unreal adventure. Even going to DIA and flying to Dallas was still in the realm of the familiar. It was only when flying out of Dallas to Santiago (Chile) that what I was doing started to really come home. Every subsequent step, staying in Punta Arenas, getting geared up, boarding the boat and leaving the shore in the distance, added another spark of excitement. There are a myriad of things that have awed, startled, or otherwise woken me out of whatever trance I may have been in. The power and enormity of the ocean, the silent monolithic icebergs we've passed, the size and power of the tools we humans have built to transport ourselves across the planet and how they are dwarfed by so much else.
If you'd like to email, Seren.Thompson at lmg.usap.gov will work for the next day or two and is the only email I can access while on the boat. You should CC anything you send there to my normal seren.net address since this temporary address will be deleted after I get to Palmer.
Night night, folks.

We know that the couple will have flower girls in their big wedding day, but have you ever heard that there are also toddler flower girls being invited? That is the truth. Some couples like to invite girls who are aged between 18 moths and 3 years to attend the wedding ceremony, because they are so cute and just like the symbol of the blessings from the heavens. In this case, getting toddler flower girl dresses also become the top thing.
We can always see the cute and innocent look from the toddler girls' eyes. Looking at them even makes us become soft and innocent, right? Pretty ivory flower girl dresses for toddlers in the wedding ceremony can make mood and the scene better.
So what color will you choose for infant toddler flower girl dresses? The first color coming up to your mind must be white color. White is great and lovely as well as suitable for all styles of wedding ceremonies. But white is not the only choice.
Different couples have different ideas of their big day, so I believe that adding personal favor is very crucial, which will make everything special and unique. Therefore, cheap toddler flower girl dresses in other colors would also be nice, like pale pink toddler dress, champagne or baby blue flower girl dress.
Actually toddler flower girl dresses uk in other colors apart from white, like red, silver, green and others, become more and more popular. Couples can surely pick the right favorite color according to the theme of the wedding ceremony. Dress the toddler girls up in colored toddler flower girl dresses. It is the new trend and it will bring wonderful impact for your big day.

This spot shouldn't really be on here. You would only stay if you were in desperate need of an hour of sleep before driving off. The site is a narrow strip of land just off the road with no signage and no facilities/water/dump station. There is no privacy. It may as well be an off road shoulder. You could stay there if desperate but the highway is only a couple of metres away. It is grassed and flat but it is not a good camp-site. Also it is by a small dam /Lake... I suspect mozzies could be an issue.

Tony Blair enters UK pre-election fray, tells everyone to 'get real'
LONDON — In what felt like a weird throwback to the late 1990s and 2000s, Tony Blair was back in election campaigning mode Tuesday.
The former prime minister publicly threw his weight behind current Labour leader Ed Miliband while slamming the Conservatives' plan to hold a referendum on the UK leaving the European Union.
Blair warned that a EU referendum is a "completely unacceptable gamble with our nation's future" and asked if a Conservative government would hold periodic referendums "just to check popular feeling."
Blair Get real if u think the rest of EU would be in friendly and amenable mood in any renegotiations with UK
— Patrick Wintour (@patrickwintour) April 7, 2015
The former prime minister, who was in office from 1997 to 2007, was joined by his wife Cherie who handed her husband's speech to him before he took to the stage.
However, it's not clear how much real influence he still has on the electorate with his legacy still tainted by the Iraq war.
As we all wait for a speech by her husband, Cherie Blair catches up with old constituency acquaintances. pic.twitter.com/vBmbvnKJxS
— Richard Moss (@BBCRichardMoss) April 7, 2015
Blair pointed to the Scottish independence referendum, held last year, as an example of why referendums don't work, saying it had failed to settle that issue.
As well as hitting out at the Conservatives, Blair also targeted UKIP.
"National pride is a great thing. Nationalism as a political cause, in the hands of parties like UKIP, is almost always ugly and can never, despite being wrapped in the garb of high-sounding phrases, disguise its mean spirit," he said.
Farage says UKIP is "not nationalist but nationist, we believe in the nation state" as he tours a garage in Cannock
— Rowena Mason (@rowenamason) April 7, 2015
Although Blair says he 100% supports Ed Miliband, some were wondering why the current Labour leader didn't appear alongside him Tuesday.
The former prime minister hit back, saying Miliband was out on the campaign trail in Bristol, adding "we're a party that can do more than one thing at once."
Blair was seen as a supporter of Ed's brother and former foreign secretary David Miliband, who lost the Labour leadership battle to his younger sibling in 2010.

China has returned to reform mode.
This week, plans have been unveiled to quicken the clean-up of excess capacity in state-backed companies, level the playing field for private and foreign investors with new access to previously off-limit sectors, and take the next step in a long-awaited fiscal shake up.
Having stabilised the economy with a mix of fiscal support and easy monetary settings, China's leaders appear to be reviving a stalled reform push that's key to long-term growth prospects.
The rush of announcements comes ahead of China's hosting of leaders from the world's 20 biggest economies in Hangzhou on September 4 and 5, allowing it to show progress to officials from nations such as the US and bodies like the International Monetary Fund that have called for structural changes.
"The pace of reform had been slower than expected," said Shen Jianguang, chief Asia economist for Mizuho Securities Asia in Hong Kong.
"Now, policy makers want to speed it up again. With monetary easing proving less effective in propping up the economy, they have realised that there's no way out if they don't push forward on reform."
The People's Bank of China has been upping its communication in recent weeks, signalling ongoing use of liquidity tools rather than big gun moves such as cuts to benchmark interest rates or the percentage of deposits banks must lock away as reserves. With businesses hoarding cash and reluctant to invest, further easing risks fuelling financial risks without spurring a pick up in economic growth.
Reflecting varying views in policy making circles, a researcher at the nation's top economic planning body said China had a lot of room to guide interest rates lower.
Financing costs for Chinese companies were still high, and the country should keep liquidity "reasonably loose", Cao Yujin, a researcher at the National Development and Reform Commission, wrote in a commentary published at the commission's website on Friday.
"It seems that Chinese regulators agree that they want to reduce financing costs but do not agree on the method of doing so," said Andrew Polk, Beijing-based director of China research at Medley Global Advisors. "It's the methodology debate that puts NDRC at odds with the PBOC."
New approach
The conventional use of reserve ratios or rates cuts is "no longer consistent with the market-oriented supply-side structural reform", Raymond Yeung, chief greater China economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group in Hong Kong, wrote in a note this week. "The PBOC is attempting to modernise China's monetary policy setting in a way consistent with Xi's reform strategy."
Yeung expects the PBOC will stay neutral for an extended period in order to avoid potential property and financial bubbles, forecasting the seven-day repo rate of around 2.25 per cent until the end of 2017.
In the latest move on Wednesday, the PBOC injected cash into the financial system using 14-day reverse-repurchase agreements for the first time since February. That was interpreted in different ways, with some economists seeing it as a ploy to curb leverage in the bond market, while others saw it as a plan to flesh out the short-term yield curve.
The brakes are being applied elsewhere too. Authorities in Shanghai are preparing a fresh round of curbs aimed at cooling the city's soaring property market, including potential restrictions on mortgages and loans to developers, according to people familiar with the matter.
Chinese leaders in 2013 charted an ambitious plan to add market forces in the economy, with reform measures aimed at doubling the size of the economy by 2020 from 2010's level. Progress has been made in some areas, such as the scrapping of the one-child policy and interest-rate liberalisation, and slower in others, with bloated state-owned enterprises still having advantages over private players in many sectors.
Almost three years since the Third Plenum overhaul was laid out, the government had to quicken the pace of change or reforms wouldn't be wrapped up in time, said Mizuho's Shen.
Here's a snapshot of the latest announcements:
- China's National Development and Reform Commission, the government's top economic planning body, said on Tuesday that private capital was welcome in more sectors, including so-called "strategic" ones like oil and gas drilling. "Political barriers" for private investment will be removed to offer a fair playing field and encourage non-state companies to take part in 165 projects outlined in the country's 13th five-year plan.
- Also on Tuesday, the vice minister of commerce said China would slash limits and continue opening its education, finance, culture and manufacturing sectors to foreign investors. Measures would focus on boosting investment in inland, western regions.
- China would cut overcapacity at central-government controlled companies by about 10 per cent within two years, the Economic Information Daily reported, citing the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the country's top watchdog on state assets. SASAC last week unveiled a trial project to allow employees at SOEs to own shares in the companies to boost motivation and morale.
- Late Wednesday, the State Council said China would improve the fiscal relationship between the central and local governments and establish a system that split expenditure and fiscal responsibility at different levels of government. The State Council, China's version of a cabinet, also said it would complete reforms in major sectors by 2020.
Still, scepticism remains as to whether reforms will be carried out. The latest guidance on SOEs didn't contain enough "sticks" to change the behaviour of state-owned firms, Natixis economists wrote in a note on Monday titled SOE Reform in China: Loud Thunder Small Raindrops. A follow-up note on Tuesday questioned whether the NDRC plan to attract private investors would prove successful and said "we do not expect the role of the state in production to be reduced any time soon".
Even taking the quickened pace of reform at face value, rolling out of such plans will likely be gradual. It would take some time to generate significant and material improvement on the ground, said Donna Kwok, senior China economist at UBS Group in Hong Kong. The near-term significance might be that progress was being made.
"With an intensifying and more varied stream of announcements, policy makers are making it clear that reforms are on track," Kwok said. "If the market sees signs of progress, without any major downside impact to near-term growth or employment, confidence might improve."

The connection between horses and children is remarkable…..
Horses have an extraordinary way of peeling back layers to a child, to help them discover where their pain stems from.
The ranch had gotten a call about a beautiful horse that was well conditioned in stature that was left overnight, abandoned in their barn.
With no name, age or history left behind, we picked this mysterious mare up and brought her to the ranch.
After a few weeks of observation and work, we placed her into the program.
The very first session was with a hurting young teen who immediately sought this mare out because of her beauty and confidence. I suppose she saw something in this horse that she wished she saw in herself.
While in the round pen and hearing this little mare's story, this young girl, broke down in tears and angrily yelled, "why on earth would anybody ever abandon this horse and leave her for nothing? She is beautiful and perfect. Only ugly and worthless things are left behind."
You see, in that moment, I realized that this beautiful teen, revealed how she felt about herself and why she was left and abandoned by the person that was supposed to love her unconditionally.
Quietly, my response to her was….They didn't deserve you.
Our children have incredible stories, our horses have incredible stories and together they develop a true relationship that conquers fears and old lies to become what neither thought they could ever become……………worthy.
Our volunteer staff guide and rudder these beautiful opportunities and often times the volunteers receive so much more out of the experiences then they feel they give.
At Reigning Grace Ranch, we have many volunteer opportunities from community gardening, mentoring, ranch hand work and administration. Many people ask if they need horse experience to become a mentor…..all you need is a heart for people, and we can teach the rest.

I started seeing therapists as early as age twelve in regards to what early teenage me would have described as crippling anxiety and less than adequate emotional intelligence.
Needless to say; I've gotten my fair share of misdiagnosis, flawed advice and life-altering affirmations made by less than qualified professionals.
More than ten years later as a patient, and now a Certified Counselor, I'm familiar with both sides of the coin; therefore, I am here to provide you with the signs that your new therapist isn't a waste of your time, or worse, money.
They Possess Outstanding Interpersonal Skills
Interpersonal skills are a set of tactics and behaviors that allows us to achieve positive interactions with others; the areas can range from attitude, emotional intelligence to communication skills.
Those traits include but are not limited to empathy, compassion, accountability, integrity, honesty, optimism, and the list goes on and on.
A therapist with social intelligence under his belt will make you feel at home; they are interested in your personal experiences, they're actively trying to see through your eyes, empathizing with your stress, validating your struggles instead of shaming you for your background.
You have no trouble communicating.
We've all been there, sitting down at the couch looking at our therapist wondering what in the heck they are talking about, and too scared to ask for clarification, as the last three times you did you ended up with the same nonexistent clue that you already had.
A fantastic therapist possesses the ability to clarify on all your doubts; they will go out of their way to paint a picture using language that will make it accessible for you to understand, therefore you will be able to agree or disagree with their strategies.
They CAN listen and WILL remember.
Think of it as having a friend that can somehow recall a meaningful experience you had years ago, meaning they paid attention to the circumstances and they were able to assign meaning to that experience that guided you to where you're standing at this point.
Would you be surprised? Flattered? They care enough to not only listen to you but also recall with great detail on how that changed your relationship.
A mental health professional should be able to recall your personal experiences with little to no refreshments because a significant part of their trade is to listen and evaluate your own experiences to provide you with treatment that is suitable to your individual needs.
Ability to provide explanations for your symptoms & treatment adaptability.
Let's face it, the reason you're seeking therapy in the first place is you're dealing with internal distress, and that can take many forms depending on the individual.
Think of it as snowflakes, they may all look the same to the naked eye, but once you dive in deep, you can appreciate that they're all as unique as your fingerprints.
A knowledgeable therapist will be able to identify and explain your symptoms, even when you can't seem to grasp the root and depth of the issue. They will also be able to adapt the treatment to your particular needs and craft it in a way that sets up your process for success.
You're Allies!
Many seek therapy because of a feeling of distrust or isolation towards their loved ones, and that's nothing to feel shameful about, we all have a backpack we carry around, and it's only natural not to want to pollute our close one's minds with our clutter.
In that same order, your therapist is the person you should feel comfortable pouring your heart and soul to; they are your first thought in times of crisis, they know how big your backpack is and how heavy it is on you.
The therapeutic alliance allows you to feel your most comfortable in their presence, I had a close friend tell me they were seeing a therapist that charged X amount per hour (which was way over his budget), but he kept on coming because of the way he felt around her, they connected on a deeper level.
Key takeaway: Alliance is priceless.
Kiss sugar coating goodbye!
An outstanding therapist won't be afraid to call you out on your distortions, honestly is the best policy and they know it, they're ready to hold you accountable for your words, actions and promises as long as it is for your development.
They say tough love is still loving, and they've studied for years to know what's best for your process, some truths are harder to deal with, but they have a talent for bursting bubbles without hurting your feelings.
It's working!
A key indicator of A+ therapy is it's results, as small as being able to shower twice a day or as big as not falling into addictive behavior, no matter what recovery looks like for you, it's happening, and you're harvesting your rewards based on the combination of your superstar therapist guidance and your kickass efforts.
Your recovery is a journey, a process, imagine your therapist as a friend, a mentor, someone you'd want to sail with through dark waters, someone you trust will show you the way back to your dreamland.
So choose wisely.

The old ages from 1929 to 1945 played a large function in the history of the economic system. political and societal development in the United States. The paper discusses the controversial Great Depression in the United States every bit good as the country's engagement in World War II. The of import inside informations are written and studied here. INTRODUCTION In 1929. the United States of America has been involved in its ain contentions every bit good as affected the many other states of the universe because of the ruin of its economic system.
The Presidents of the United States in the controversial periods were involved in seeking to continue the economic state of affairs in the state every bit good as being a powerful state around the universe at that clip. The United States of America had to confront the Great Depression and WWII at the same clip. Merely so did the economic system and political stableness of the state was regained. Isolationism is a foreign economic policy stance applied by the 29th and 30th presidents of the United States. Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge severally.
This is one policy that many historiographers blame for the stock market clang in 1929 since it applies the individualistic attack. It was besides said that the isolationist attitude of the Americans at that clip were displayed by both presidents. In the latter old ages. leaders under the disposal of President Roosevelt grew sentiments for the same thought of isolationism. Herbert Hoover took office as the 31st president of the United States of America from March 4. 1929 – March 4. 1933. During his presidential term of the United States. the stock market clang of 1929 happened.
He believed that interfering with the economic system is non a portion of the authorities duty and was accused by some critics of taking individualistic stance. Due to his neglect of the economic crisis on the state. many Americans lost their occupations and places and he was rated really ill among all the presidents of the United States ( Krugman. 2008 ) . Many people believed that President Hoover had immense duty in salving the state from Great Depression after taking over the presidential office.

On the other manus. there are many who believe that he besides did good as the president of the US particularly in the thick of the economic crisis. His being the Secretary of Commerce before being the president is the standard footing on this statement ( Reich. 2008 ) . The Crash of 1929 is doubtless one of the most famed events that transpired in the economic stableness of the United States of all clip. The first clip the stocks went low continuously is besides known as the Black Tuesday. It was on October 29. 1929. merely a few months after President Hoover took office.
American investors lost one million millions of dollars worth of investings in a affair of one month. One ground that caused the stock market clang seen by the historiographers was the rampant purchasing on border pattern of the people in 1929 every bit good as meeting factors. Hooverville is what the hovel towns around the United States are called. The Americans who suffered greatly from the Great Depression ended up edifice hovel towns in America. These towns were named after the President Herbert Hoover by Charles Michelson. main promotion of the Democratic National Committee. ( Kaltenborn. 1956 )
There were besides other noteworthy events that happened within the period of 1929 and 1945. One of these is the Bonus Army besides known as the Battle of Anacostia Flats which occurred in June. 1932 where the World War I veterans camped in presentation outside Washington D. C. during the Hoover's presidential term. One of the of import names to observe of during this period was Franklin Roosevelt. the 32nd President of the United States of America. He served the United States of America as president from March 4. 1933 to April 12. 1945. He was a figure of the century for being the president to conflict the economic crisis every bit good as the World War II.
Under his presidential term. he made the New Deal for the recovery of the economic system. unemployment and for the reforms the system of the American banking. The New Deal ( 1933-1936 ) was a promise from President Roosevelt to the American citizens during his nomination reference. After taking office. President Roosevelt instantly worked to supply the Americans what he promised them in his nomination address. The new trade he had for the state was for the immediate alleviation. The Bankss were in terror and so he instantly proposed measure that will set the bank into fiscal stableness.
In the New Deal of President Roosevelt. the continuance of major alleviation plan was included. However. it was named as Federal Emergency Relief Administration. The New Deal bureaus were the Civilian Conservation Corps. Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the Federal Trade Commission. He besides expanded the former President Hoover's bureau. Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Recovery on the economic state of affairs was through federal disbursement. The reformation of the economic system was passed on the 1933 National Industrial Recovery Act ( NIRA ) . whereas the consentaneous determination of the U. S. Supreme Court found it to be unconstitutional.
However. the president opposed the determination of the Supreme Court. The Banking Holiday was declared by so new President Roosevelt after him taking the place into office. As the president. he called particular Congress session to establish the compulsory bank vacation that would last for four yearss. The vacation was to give manner for the federal reviews of Bankss on their fiscal security. The Emergency Banking Relief Act ( March 9. 1933 ) and the amendment of the Trading with Enemy Act are portion of the reform under the Roosevelt disposal. There was a Second New Deal after the Congress election in 1935 conveying more statute law.
The "Alphabet Soup" or the Alphabet Agencies refers to the many acronyms and abbreviations the statute law. plans and bureaus linked with President Roosevelt's New Deal. It was named coined after the alphabet soup noodles. The acronyms and abbreviations the Alphabet Soup refers to the followers: Agricultural Adjustment Administration or AAA which is to supply federal subsidies to husbandmans making legion new occupations through the Civil Conservation Corps or CCC. Civil Works Administration or CWA. the Public Works Administration or PWA. and the Tennessee Valley Authority or TVA.
The Federal Emergency Relief Administration or FERA was besides established to supply alleviation on the province degree. while the National Industrial Recovery Act or NIRA was passed to salve nation's neglecting mills. Huey P. Long of Louisiana was a senator from January 25. 1932 – September 10. 1935. He is the major critic of the president's New Deal. Harmonizing to him. the New Deal that the president was offering at that clip is non making any aid for the improvement of the Americans' state of affairs. He has a wholly different rule from Roosevelt.
He believed that the Great Depression was because of the income inequality hence suggesting that the revenue enhancement levy on the rich American must be bigger so that the normal households will last. He was popular during the first term of President Roosevelt but was assassinated in 1935. From the beginning of World War II in 1939 during the disposal of President Roosevelt. rationing system was applied in the United States. This system was applied to gasoline because of the deficit in the Eastern provinces of America.
The ground for this is because in those old ages. crude oil merchandises were carried by oilers. The dangers on oilers transporting crude oil were faced with runing Submarines merely off the US seashore. Furthermore. the velocity bound of 35 miles per hour to salvage fuel was imposed. In 1942. tyres were besides rationed because of the break on the supplies of natural gum elastic. By November in 1943. about all the basic trade goods were supplied to the people through rationing. The bombardment of Pearl Harbor on Sunday. December 7. 1941 by the Nipponese Empire opened the engagement of the United States Military to World War II.
After the military engagement of the United States in World War II. the demand for weaponries and cooperation of the Allied countries' civilian forces had developed the informal term of place forepart. This means that the state at war and so are the public of the state if need be. Hiroshima is the first metropolis in the imperium of Japan that was attacked by the United States of America with the atomic arm named "Little Boy" . The onslaught was made on August 6. 1945 under the executive order of the U. S. President Truman. Over 140. 000 people were killed in Hiroshima. The atomic bombardment followed in Nagasaki on August 6. 1945.
After six yearss. the Nipponese Empire surrendered to the Allied Powers. On September 2. 1945. the Instrument of Surrender was signed stoping the Pacific War and the World War II. Germany signed the Instrument of Surrender besides stoping World War II in the Europe. Mention: Foner. Eric. Give Me Liberty! . ( 2004 ) . W. W. Norton & A ; Company. New York City.

- More Than 1,000 Pathologists Choose CAP's Pathologists Quality Registry For MIPS Reporting
More Than 1,000 Pathologists Choose CAP's Pathologists Quality Registry For MIPS Reporting
NORTHFIELD, IL—In a demonstration of leadership, trust, and advocacy strength on behalf of pathologists, more than 1,000 pathologists have already chosen the College of American Pathologists' Pathologists Quality Registry for the 2019 performance year.
The Pathologists Quality Registry ensures pathologists can demonstrate their value and get paid fairly for the high-quality services they provide to patients. The CAP developed the registry, first launched in 2017, to give pathologists the best opportunities for success in Medicare's Quality Payment Program (QPP), and Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The Pathologists Quality Registry allows pathologists to stop payment penalties tied to MIPS by providing a consolidated platform for all their reporting needs including benchmarking reports. The CAP and its staff experts on the QPP program have worked with more than 1,000 pathologists at hundreds of practices across the United States in 2019 to provide unique and one-on-one support to ensure their success in the MIPS program. Pathologists can take advantage of the many ways of submitting data to the registry, including automated data integration with laboratory information systems, billing company data, or web data entry options.
"More and more pathologists are choosing the CAP and its Pathologists Quality Registry as the best solution to successfully navigate the complexities of the MIPS program," said CAP President R. Bruce Williams, MD, FCAP. "Pathologists count on the CAP to provide strong leadership on their behalf by engaging with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and American Medical Association to make sure pathologists are able to fully and easily participate in MIPS. Our experts at the CAP have the right knowledge and experience to provide pathologists and their practice managers with the answers they need to navigate complex regulations to maximize their MIPS score, demonstrate the quality of services they provide, and succeed in the changing payment environment."
Developed by CAP members and FIGmd, a leading provider of clinical data registries for physician specialties, the Pathologists Quality Registry features pathology-specific quality measures developed by the CAP and easy-to-use guidance on attesting to Improvement Activities, specific to pathologists, to maximize a MIPS performance score. The CAP is still enrolling eligible pathologists for the 2019 MIPS performance period, and it is not too early to begin planning for 2020. Effective MIPS reporting through the Pathologists Quality Registry this year can stop future payment penalties of 7% in 2021. Learn more about MIPS and the Pathologists Quality Registry by emailing the CAP at email@example.com.
About the College of American Pathologists
As the world's largest organization of board-certified pathologists and leading provider of laboratory accreditation and proficiency testing programs, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) serves patients, pathologists, and the public by fostering and advocating excellence in the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine worldwide.

High School education is perfect in so many areas that to truly comprehend its greatness, one must understand each of the aspects make it so fantastic, so I am going to describe some of the areas that make it so spectacular. From the grading system to teacher salary and student eagerness to learn, there are a wide range of features, which make the high school education system the well-oiled-machine that it is.
Even if one doesn't love teaching it is a very rewarding job because of the salary. As a society we demonstrate that we value good competent teachers as we are willing to pay them well for their work. So even if a teacher doesn't enjoy spending over six hours a day with generally disrespectful teenagers, he or she can at least be comforted by the fact that he or she has a secure, well paying job.
Teachers are also very lucky as they have very little work that they have to take home or stay after school for. Some jobs occasionally require employees to take work home, or work a little afterwards for overtime pay. But teachers almost never have to stay after school to help students with work or to make up tests. Another big benefit is the lunch break, when teachers can relax without being disturbed by students coming into their classrooms for help. The occasional test or homework assignment that teachers have to grade is pretty much the only thing that they need to take home, and those are very rare. Because they don't have much, if any work after school, the teachers are always enthusiastic and ready to teach and this enthusiasm is reflected on to the students
While teachers do contribute to the invigorating knowledgeable atmosphere in the classrooms, the students are the ones that really make it happen. In all of the classes I have been in or visited, every student is always focused intently on the teacher, absorbing all of the knowledge being taught with a passion that is truly astounding. I constantly am challenging myself to find a student that...

Energy, carbon and water
Sheffield Hallam University has energy and water reduction targets to be achieved by 2020, compared to the 2005/06 baseline
- 30% reduction in energy use by floor area
- 15% reduction in water use by floor area
Projects and methods underway to achieve these targets include
- Effective monitoring and measurement supported through the ISO 50001 energy management system
- Designing low carbon and renewable technologies into our buildings, such as solar PVs (photovoltaics), solar thermals, ground source heat pumps and rainwater harvesting
- Using extensive metering to quickly identify areas of high consumption and key areas to manage
- Trialling new technologies to increase the efficiency of existing projects and buildings, such as variable speed drives and water reducing devices such as drenched technology devices the reduce the volume of water coming out of taps
- Specifying high efficiency plant and maintenance equipment across campuses
- Using techniques such as thermal imaging to identify areas for improvement
- Using engagement campaigns to raise awareness and promote behaviour change, including our network of green champions
Progress against targets is monitored on an ongoing basis, using a projection tool that predicts the impacts and benefits of implementing planned projects to ensure we remain on target. This tool was developed as part of a consultancy project and populated by a master's degree student as part of their studies (see the Partnerships and Engagement page to find out more about how the colleges are embedding sustainability in the curriculum).
All targets, including building energy, water, and progress against them, can be seen on the policy, strategy and reporting page.
The university is also working towards calculating and reporting Scope 3 emissions, see the sustainable travel page for details on how we're reducing the impact of business travel.

Bringing back the gay bathhouses: How does this help anyone?
Reader Alexander DeMarco responds to Does Minneapolis have the will to bring gay bathhouses back to the city?
Are there hetero bathhouses in the area? Look, any moral or ethical rubric aside, why can't we just treat everyone the same?
People can form the consensual, age-appropriate sexual relationships they want. This doesn't serve public safety and public health, gay, straight, or otherwise.
In prior days, such places ended up spreadling life-threatening STD's. That did disproportionately affect gay people more in '70s and '80s. One of the many reasons for removing laws against homosexuality and marriage restrictions was to allow gays to cultivate normative, healthy, long-term relationships and not have to seek out clandestine booze and drug-fueled parties because people couldn't be public about their relationship.
All of my gay friends seem pretty set on getting rid of these stereotypes and images, or at least not having them define the LGBT community. Religion and all that aside, it demonstrated as a matter of both mental health and physical health that people are healthier if sex is not separated from love, affection, commitment.
What problem does such an establishment supposedly solve? What does it do to advance society and the health and well-being of gays or anyone else?

Ryan Pace has left no uncertainty about his Plan A for the Bears quarterback situation in 2020. The sixth-year general manager wants to see through his draft pick of Mitch Trubisky, whose inconsistency and regression in 2019 pulled the team backward.
"We've seen this before with young quarterbacks and the trials and tribulations they go through," Pace said Dec. 31. "It's part of it. Sometimes if you stick with it and you see it through and you're dedicated to the development of the process, that can be very beneficial to the organization long term."
But what about Plan B? What if Trubisky, in his fourth season, can't "smooth out those inconsistencies," as Pace put it?
Yes, Pace described Trubisky's erratic play as "just a growth process we're all watching take place." But after the Bears finished last in the NFL in 2019 with 5.7 yards per pass, it stands to reason Pace and coach Matt Nagy will try to thicken the ice beneath their feet in continuing with Trubisky's development.
Pace said the Bears will examine their quarterback depth with an eye on upgrades over incumbent backup Chase Daniel and third quarterback Tyler Bray. But unless Pace adopts a different sales pitch from what he said publicly, any quarterback who agrees to sign with the Bears would do so knowing Trubisky is the organization's priority.
Still, before Pace traded up to select Trubisky second in 2017, he spoke of taking multiple swings at the quarterback position to ensure a solution. In the months ahead, we'll learn whether Pace is again using that approach.
With that in mind, let's survey the landscape of veteran quarterbacks who could become available as free agents or via trade this offseason.
They are listed in alphabetical order within three categories: entrenched starters with expiring contracts, lower-tier veterans headed toward free agency and quarterbacks under contract at least through 2020.
The Bears are estimated to have about $20 million in salary-cap space, which is below the league average. Of course, cap space can easily be created by restructuring and/or terminating contracts. That's part of the quarterback puzzle the Bears must put together before free agency opens March 18.
Here's a look ahead to the 2020 quarterback market, with each player's 2019 team and 2020 opening-day age in parentheses.
Entrenched starters with expiring contracts
It's fair to say these options are unrealistic for the Bears, but technically they're part of the QB musical chairs game.
Tom Brady (Patriots, 43)
Brady is headed toward free agency because of clauses in his contract that void the deal and prevent the Patriots from protecting their rights to him with the franchise tag. The idea of Brady signing with the Bears seems more like talk-radio fodder than anything grounded in reality.
There are many more questions than answers here, such as why would Brady — when he has all the leverage in choosing his next team — sign up to play behind an offensive line that, by Pace's admission, regressed? Why would Brady choose to play with an undermanned supporting cast that needs upgrades at tight end and a vertical threat at receiver? Could the Bears afford the salary that the market dictates he'll earn?
That said, dreamers can rightly point out that Pace pulled off the Khalil Mack trade after even he and his top lieutenants didn't believe it was realistic. Chances are, though, that lightning won't strike twice.
Drew Brees (Saints, 41)
Brees' best chance to win another Super Bowl involves staying in New Orleans with coach Sean Payton. The Saints' best chance to win another ring depends on re-signing Brees. Unless Brees retires, why would both sides end up at any other outcome?
Dak Prescott (Cowboys, 27)
Prescott played out the fourth and final year of his rookie contract without accepting a preseason extension offer from the Cowboys. He bet on himself staying healthy, and now that he has, he stands to cash in from an organization that's restarting with new coach Mike McCarthy. Contract negotiations will be framed by the franchise tag, which the Cowboys could use to protect their rights to the former offensive rookie of the year.
Philip Rivers (Chargers, 38)
Rivers intends to continue his career, which he expressed publicly after the Chargers completed their 5-11 season. He seemed to put it in the Chargers' hands whether he plays a 17th season for the organization. Rivers turned the ball over 23 times (20 interceptions) in 2019, compared with 24 times combined in 2017 and '18. His 23 touchdown passes were his fewest since his second season as a starter (2007).
Ryan Tannehill (Titans, 32)
Tannehill's name is the one that doesn't feel quite right in this category, but he saved the Titans' season after replacing former No. 2 pick Marcus Mariota in Week 7. Now he has them in the AFC championship game. Tannehill was the NFL's highest-rated passer (117.5), thriving in the Titans' run-focused offense.
It seems reasonable for the Titans to try to retain Tannehill and continue riding the wave he provided. They have the franchise tag at their disposal to protect their rights to him. Meanwhile, this situation serves as a blueprint for the Bears to build a safety net for themselves underneath Trubisky.
Lower-tier quarterbacks headed toward free agency
This classification is a mix of established quarterbacks and journeymen who have failed to hold a starting job. There's a vast range of quality, and the better players obviously will aim for opportunities to play. How would that match up with the Bears' stated commitment to Trubisky?
Blake Bortles (Rams, 28)
After 2018, the Jaguars gave up on the No. 3 pick in the 2014 draft. He landed with the Rams on a one-year deal and attempted only two passes. In his five seasons as the Jaguars starter, his completion percentages ranged from 58.6% to 60.3%.
Teddy Bridgewater (Saints, 27)
Expect a robust free-agent market for Bridgewater after he went 5-0 as the Saints starter this season while Drew Brees was sidelined by a right thumb injury. In those five starts, he completed 69.7% of his passes for 1,205 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.
Bridgewater proved he can come off the bench and win for an otherwise functional offense. That's what the Bears need to pair with Trubisky.
However, Bridgewater's performance in relief of Brees could give him an opportunity to start somewhere immediately. If the Bears are committed to Trubisky as their starter, their attractiveness to Bridgewater would be in doubt, regardless of salary.
He's looking to jump-start his career, which was derailed by a catastrophic dislocated knee in 2016. As the 32nd pick in 2014, he has a relatively impressive draft pedigree compared with other journeymen on this list. So expect him to have multiple suitors.
Chad Henne (Chiefs, 35)
Henne joined the Chiefs in 2018 as a backup after Nagy left for the Bears. He was on injured reserve (ankle) when starter Patrick Mahomes suffered a dislocated right knee Oct. 17, and he hasn't played in a game this season despite being activated from IR.
But Henne is familiar with Andy Reid's offense, which heavily overlaps with Nagy's. When Henne started for the Dolphins and Jaguars in parts of six seasons (2009-14), those teams went 18-35.
Case Keenum (Redskins, 32)
Keenum is probably headed for his third team since helping the Vikings go 13-3 in 2017. The Broncos traded him to the Redskins in March as part of a deal that included a swap of sixth- and seventh-round picks. Then the spiraling Redskins benched him in midseason for rookie first-round pick Dwayne Haskins. With the Redskins, Keenum completed 64.8% of his passes with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Marcus Mariota (Titans, 26)
Mariota's youth, athleticism and the fact Pace liked him in the 2015 draft have spawned obvious dot-connecting between the Bears and the former Heisman Trophy winner.
But Mariota is represented by the same agency, Rep1 Sports, that represents Trubisky. Given the agency's interest in putting both of its clients in starting opportunities, it would be very surprising if Mariota ended up with the Bears.
Mariota has a 62.9% career completion percentage and an 89.6 passer rating. The Titans have gone 29-32 with him as a starter after drafting him No. 2 five seasons ago.
Matt Moore (Chiefs, 36)
Moore started twice for the Chiefs this season, not bad considering he was out of football in 2018. The Chiefs signed him off the street in August after backup Chad Henne suffered an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve.
Moore briefly replaced injured starter Patrick Mahomes in midseason, and the Chiefs split those two games. He has completed 64.8% of his passes with four touchdowns and no interceptions this season. A plus for the Bears: Moore knows the foundation of Nagy's offense by virtue of his Chiefs experience. His teams are 16-16 in his career with him as the starter.
Jameis Winston (Buccaneers, 26)
Winston's status will help set the second-tier quarterback market whenever the Buccaneers decide on his future. The former No. 1 pick finished the fifth and final season of his rookie deal with some crazy numbers. He led the NFL with 5,109 passing yards and 626 attempts. He threw 33 touchdown passes. But he also threw a league-high 30 interceptions — the most in 31 years.
Bruce Arians, Winston's third coach with the Bucs, has indicated he's fond of Winston. But Arians exited the season leaving Winston's status undecided. The Bucs could franchise-tag him or try to reach a multiyear extension. Winston's market should include an opportunity to start somewhere, so the Bucs will have to make a clear decision one way or the other about how he fits into their plans. They have the 14th draft pick.
Under contract; trade required
This group of quarterbacks represents the most realistic potential for upgrading the Bears' backup role. Trading for a quarterback would remove the need to persuade a free agent to embrace a backup job behind Trubisky. This way, the Bears could land a capable No. 2 and let the situation play itself out.
Derek Carr (Raiders, 29)
Carr's future is in question after the Raiders lost five of their last six games to crash out of the playoff race. Now coach Jon Gruden, who inherited Carr, must decide how Carr fits into Year 3 of his rebuilding plan, especially as the organization transitions to Las Vegas.
Carr at least made a decent closing argument. Over the final four games, he threw for 1,211 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions. He completed 69.9% of his passes and had a 106.3 rating. But can he be more consistent?
Carr's base salary for 2020 is $18.9 million, a hefty sum for a team to add to its cap via trade. (Trubisky is scheduled to count a fully guaranteed $9.2 million against the Bears' cap.) The Raiders would eat only $5 million of dead cap space if they cut Carr before Feb. 5, so that is a date to watch. After that, the dead money would be $7.9 million.
Andy Dalton (Bengals, 32)
The Bengals are positioned to draft LSU quarterback Joe Burrow with the top pick and start a new era with second-year coach Zac Taylor. Taylor benched Dalton after the team started 0-8, effectively signaling the end of his nine-year tenure. The Bengals haven't had a winning record since 2015, and Dalton has been the first-stringer the entire time.
Trading for Dalton would require accommodating his $17.7 million cap number in 2020, which is the final year of his contract. The three-time Pro Bowler has a 62% career completion percentage and has started four playoff games, all losses. The Bears' new offensive coordinator, Bill Lazor, worked with Dalton as a member of the Bengals staff in 2016-18.
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Dolphins, 37)
Fitzpatrick helped the Dolphins win five of their last nine games as they went from tanking mess to functional playoff spoiler. He's under contract for 2020 with a team-friendly $8 million cap number. It's easy to see how he would fit as a bridge to a quarterback the Dolphins draft high in April.
Joe Flacco (Broncos, 35)
Flacco's $20.3 million salary in 2020 won't be palatable for a trade partner. But it also might compel the Broncos to cut him and save about $10 million in cap space. Flacco ended the season on injured reserve (neck) while rookie second-round pick Drew Lock went 4-1 as the starter to finish the year.
Flacco — who played in college at Delaware, as Nagy did — threw only six touchdown passes in eight games. He had five interceptions, was sacked a whopping 26 times and had an 85.1 passer rating, barely above his career average.
It's worth noting that the Broncos acquired Flacco (and his contract) from the Ravens last March in exchange for a fourth-round pick.
Nick Foles (Jaguars, 31)
The Jaguars did a U-turn on Foles after guaranteeing him $50 million last March as part of a four-year deal. By the end of the season, he had missed eight games with a broken collarbone and was benched for the final four games in favor of rookie Gardner Minshew, a sixth-round pick.
With Doug Marrone coaching for his job in 2020, there's major doubt about how Foles fits with the team. From the Bears' perspective, Foles proved himself as a backup in a similar offense to theirs in 2017, when he led the Eagles to the Super Bowl championship. Foles also was with Nagy with the Chiefs in 2016.
Trading Foles would save the Jaguars about $3 million of cap space, although they would have to stomach almost $19 million in dead money because of Foles' signing bonus. His base salary, which Foles' new team would pick up, is $15.1 million.
Foles' employer could get out of his contract after 2020 for $12.5 million in dead money, which is a manageable escape route if he doesn't work out. Keep in mind, the collective bargaining agreement expires after 2020, creating uncertainty about future salary-cap parameters.
Josh Rosen (Dolphins, 23)
The salary-cap numbers on the remaining three years of Rosen's contract are manageable (less than $3 million annually) because of the rookie wage scale and because the Cardinals already paid his signing bonus. That makes the former No. 10 pick tradable, but it also makes him cheap for the Dolphins to keep.
The question is whether the Dolphins would want to keep Rosen if they draft a quarterback in the first round in April. Rosen's trade value was established last April, when the Cardinals dealt him for a 2019 second-rounder and a 2020 fifth-rounder.
Given the Bears' commitment to Trubisky, their quarterback puzzle requires a more proven backup than Rosen, whose development and future remain in question.
Alex Smith (Redskins, 36)
Imagine how eager Nagy would be to acquire Smith, whose ability as a quarterback and mentor he came to deeply respect during their five seasons together with the Chiefs. No veteran backup quarterback option knows Nagy or his offense better.
A couple of deep questions, though, stand between Smith and any trade. Most important, significant doubt remains about his physical ability to play football again.
He suffered a compound, open right leg fracture in 2018 and has endured numerous post-surgical complications related to infection. According to a Washington media outlet, Smith gave a speech in 2019 in which he acknowledged having had 17 surgeries. He sat out the season while his rehabilitation continues, and he has not been cleared to resume full-speed football activities.
Second, the Redskins love Smith for the same reasons Nagy does. He's smart and he's a magnanimous mentor to 2019 first-round pick Dwayne Haskins. Smith and Haskins are the Redskins' only two quarterbacks under contract as new coach Ron Rivera takes over.
Latest Chicago Bears
For the sake of this exercise, though, let's say Smith is cleared to play football in 2020 (which is far from certain). A trade would cost his new team $16 million in base salary against its salary cap. The Redskins would save about $5 million in cap space by dealing him, although they would absorb more than $16 million in dead money because of his signing bonus. The savings might not be worth it to the Redskins, considering how much they appreciate his presence.
The Redskins acquired Smith in 2018 in exchange for promising cornerback prospect Kendall Fuller (Kyle's younger brother) and a third-round pick. The price would be cheaper now because of Smith's injury. It's worth reiterating, however, that Smith's physical condition might make it a moot point.
Tyrod Taylor (Chargers, 31)
Taylor backed up Philip Rivers and threw only six passes in 2019. He's now two seasons removed from a three-year stint as the Bills starter. The Bills went 22-20 in games he started. He threw 51 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions with a 62.6% completion percentage for them. He also averaged 525 rushing yards, almost five rushing touchdowns and more than 40 sacks per season. The Bills traded him to the Browns two offseasons ago for a third-round pick
Taylor's base salary is $5 million in 2020, and the Chargers would have to eat $2.5 million in dead money to trade him.
