Energy Innovation Should Trump Job Creation
June 23, 2009 6:22 am | by Saul Kaplan | News | CommentsAcross the country, it is hard to find an elected official who hasn't jumped on the green economy bandwagon. So many stump speeches marry the policy objectives of saving the environment and creating jobs. It starts at the top: President Barack Obama has promised to spend $150 billion over 10 years to create 5 million green-collar jobs. Like a human wave at a sporting event, Americans are cheering for the green economy to bring us out of our economic funk and solve global warming and foreign energy dependence, all at the same time.

FTC To Monitor Product Review Blogs for Fairness
June 22, 2009 8:03 am | by DEBORAH YAO | News | CommentsSavvy consumers often go online for independent consumer reviews of products and services, scouring through comments from everyday Joes and Janes to help them find a gem or shun a lemon. What some fail to realize, though, is that such reviews can be tainted: Many bloggers have accepted perks such as free laptops, trips to Europe, $500 gift cards or even thousands of dollars for a 200-word post. Bloggers vary in how they disclose such freebies, if they do so at all. The practice has grown to the degree that the Federal Trade Commission is paying attention.

The Perfect Mobile Phone Is (Nearly) Here
June 19, 2009 6:33 am | by by John C. Dvorak | News | CommentsAs the world begins to adjust to the mobile phone as a computing platform, we have to recognize the fact that for many people the device is bound to become the complete substitute for all computing needs. But not quite in the form we see it. I've written about this idea as far back as 1993, but this concept should be reexamined: We need to be in the right frame of mind for what's coming.

Is attempting to change marine mammal behaviour a generic solution to the bycatch problem? A dugong case study
Hodgson, A.J., Marsh, H., Delean, S., and Marcus, L. (2007) Is attempting to change marine mammal behaviour a generic solution to the bycatch problem? A dugong case study. Animal Conservation, 10 (2). pp. 263-273.

Incidental bycatch in fishing nets is a global cause of incidental mortality of marine mammals. Two classes of approaches attempt to mitigate this impact: (1) approaches that change the behaviour of the fisher (e.g. closures and gear modifications), (2) approaches that attempt to change the behaviour of the bycatch species (e.g. acoustic alarms or pingers). Even though the effectiveness of pingers has been established for very few bycatch species, pingers are now mandatory in many fisheries throughout the world. Pingers are being trialled in commercial gill net fisheries in tropical Australia to reduce the bycatch of the dugong and three species of coastal dolphins, despite an absence of robust assessments of: (1) their effectiveness in reducing bycatch, (2) the likelihood of alienating bycatch species from critical habitats. We conducted replicate experiments to test the behavioural responses of dugongs to 4 and 10 kHz pingers in an array simulating a net. Each experiment comprised three sequential 10-min treatments in which two pingers were: (1) inactive, (2) active, (3) inactive. The rate of decline of the number of dugongs within the focal arena did not change significantly while pingers were activated. Dugongs passed between the pingers (where a net would be located) irrespective of whether the alarms were active or inactive, fed throughout the experiments and did not change their orientation to investigate pinger noise, or their likelihood of vocalizing. We conclude that: (1) pingers are unlikely to alienate dugongs from critical habitats or reduce dugong mortalities in fishing nets, (2) bycatch mitigation strategies such as pingers that rely on changing animal behaviour should only be used after rigorous testing on all likely bycatch species.

Get ready for 20th Annual Historic Newburgh Ghost Walks | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
It's just about time for a 20-year Halloween tradition in Warrick County: the Historic Newburgh Ghost Walks.
This year's walks are happening on Friday, October 18th, Saturday, October 19th, and Sunday, October 20th.
The walks are organized by Historic Newburgh, Inc. and sponsored by People's Trust and Savings Bank and Titzer Family Funeral Home.
If you're interested in attending, you can choose from two different haunted tours, one on Water Street and one on State Street.
"On the Water Street tour, attendees will learn of river lore, family legends, mystery, and the sinking of the Steam ship Missouri! The State Street tour focuses on Newburgh history, Civil War tales, thrills, and thing that go bump in the night! Both tours offer their share of historical murder, mayhem, and mysteries," according to the Historic Newburgh website.
Each guided walking tour lasts about an hour, with tours departing from Preservation Hall (200 State Street) every 15 minutes. (Remember comfy shoes!)
As an added (spooky) bonus, the Rivertown Storytellers will be telling scary stories at the end of tours Saturday night. They'll be at Town Council Chambers. Listening to 15 minutes of their stories costs $2.00. This event is not recommended for those under 11 years old.
If you're interested in buying tickets to the Ghost Walks, call Historic Newburgh, Inc. at (812) 853-2815. They're $8 for adults and $4 for children ages 4-12 through October 17th. After that, prices will increase by one dollar.
Here is the Ghost Walk schedule:
*Friday, October 18th: 6:00pm-9:00pm
*Saturday, October 19th: 5:00pm-9:00pm
*Sunday, October 20th: 5:00pm-8:00pm

Is anybody interested in open-source tool like Silverlight Spy?
A few months ago I started to work on my first Silverlight project. It was a business-line application, pretty much standard of that type. It was my first project in Silverlight. Anyway, soon I found this great tool called Silverlight Spy. It's a tool for runtime inspection of Silverlight applications, something like Firebug but only for Silverlight. I was impressed with the software since it was very powerful. The tool costs around 99 EUR, which is not much for the value you get. However, as a passionate developer...

In recent times jumps fans have been able to enjoy watching and betting on the sport for all twelve months of the year. The advent of summer jumps racing tracks such as Stratford and Uttoxeter offer opportunities for punters to back winners all year round! Sportsbook Guardian regularly has amazing summer jumps racing free bet offers provided by our featured bookmakers, so be sure to check the site out before placing down your wager.
Summer jumps racing is viewed by some with a similar air to all-weather racing, in that it tends to attract a lower class of runner and as such provides a different betting challenge when compared to the top meetings whose form stands up more strongly.
The National Hunt season proper has a traditional curtain raiser in the middle of November with Cheltenham's Open meeting, and draws to a close with Sandown's mixed meeting (the event does what it says on the tin, by providing a mixture of jumps and flat racing!).
Major Jumps Racing Meetings
The season revolves around several big meetings, the highlights of which are featured below:
Open Meeting, Cheltenham. The season is launched with this three-day meeting, the jewel in the crown being Paddy Power's Gold Cup. Traditionalists know the race as "The Mackeson" after the company that sponsored the race from it's formation in 1960 until 1995. Since 1995 the race has been sponsored by several companies including Murphy's Stout, and most recently Ireland's leading bookmaker.
Northwest Masters, Haydock. A quality two day meeting with the major draw being the grade 1 Betfair Chase. The official name is the Lancashire Chase, and for several years everyone's betting tip was Kauto Star who has won three of the race's renewals.
Hennessy Winter Festival, Newbury. A real favourite among the betting public, this weekend features The Hennessy Gold Cup. Arkle, One Man and Denman have all tasted victory over the three miles and the meeting always throws up some Cheltenham betting tips for the following spring's main event!
Fighting Fifth Hurdle, Newcastle. Top quality hurdlers encamp at Newcastle at the end of each November. It always provides pointers for the Cheltenham betting market on the Champion Hurdle. The last three winners of the Fighting Fifth have either won the race (Punjabi), started favourite (Go Native) or finished second (Peddlers Cross).
Tingle Creek Meeting, Sandown. A quality meeting, highlighted by the Tingle Creek Chase, an event that always provides some tips for the Cheltenham betting market, with recent winners being Festival Superstars Kauto Star and Master Minded. The three railway fences always provide a test of balance and composure and tend to ensure that the cream of jumpers invariably rises to the top.
Long Walk Hurdle Meeting, Ascot. The meeting is headlined by the Long Walk Hurdle, a Grade 1 event that always provides pointers for the Cheltenham Festival, with four winners of the race taking the World Hurdle in March. I hold particular fond memories of Baracouda's four victories in this race. In recent times the event has been run at Newbury (due to weather) and Windsor when Ascot was closed for refurbishment.
Winter Festival, Kempton. Amongst the racing public there are three big chasing races in the season, the Gold Cup, Grand National, and Boxing Day's King George. The race provides one of the most important indicators as to the winner of the Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
Many previous winners take both events, most recently Kauto Star in 2007 and Long Run in the 2011 season. Runners that have taken the King George include Desert Orchid, Wayward Lad, One Man, and recently Kauto Star.
Welsh National Meeting, Chepstow. The Welsh National always provides Aintree tips for the following Grand National betting market. Earth Summit won both races in the same season, and both Silver Birch and Bindaree claimed both events in different seasons.
Victor Chandler Chase Meeting, Ascot. The star attraction race is often used as a route to the Queen Mother Champion Chase, and the betting market for Cheltenham is always updated after the race. It should be pointed out that tickets for this meeting are always very competitively priced and if you book online, Grandstand tickets can be picked up for around £15.
Commercial First Ascot Chase, Ascot. The last Grade 1 steeplechase ahead of Cheltenham, useful for punters to try to build up a betting tank for Cheltenham's Festival! One Man and Teeton Mill are famous popular winners of this event.
Cheltenham Festival, Cheltenham. It doesn't get any bigger than Cheltenham to jump racing fans. Aficionados of the flat have Royal Ascot, jumps-heads have Cheltenham. In recent years both marquee events have been stretched by an extra day.
Each year thousands of race fans descend on Prestbury Park for the highlight of the jumps racing year. The gambling public will bet £millions on their Cheltenham betting tips and the drinking public will consume thousands of pints of Guinness!
The track is always rammed, and many Irish brogues are heard in the air as a large raiding party always makes the journey across the Irish Sea. Some years the "Cheltenham Craic" is further heightened/lubricated by a clash with St Patricks Day, however the date of the Gold Cup 2012 is the 16th March, and St Patrick Day falls on the 17th in 2012.
We have written a series of pieces about the Festival so have a good look around the site for features on the major races: Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, World Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase (and others). Of course we also always offer exclusive bookmakers free bets for the Cheltenham Festival, so don't be a stranger in March!
John Smiths' Grand National Meeting, Aintree. Three weeks after Cheltenham's Festival comes the most famous race in the World, the Grand National. Forty horses start out, but at the end of the four and a half miles only one will win! For Grand National betting tips see our mini section on this amazing race. Supporting events include the Aintree Hurdle, and the gala Ladies Day is the place to be seen in the North West!
Scottish Grand National Meeting, Ayr. Over two days Scotland celebrates its National. Ayr is the location of the 4m100yds race, and the purse stands at a whopping £114,000 to the winner. Unlike at Aintree, the race is open to ages five years and above.
Punchestown Festival, Punchestown (Ireland). Ireland's version of the Cheltenham Festival is stretched over five days and has a similar format to the English version.
Irish Grand National, Fairyhouse (Ireland). Ireland's Grand National is open to five year olds and above, and races over a quite short trip for a National, the course being only 3m5f's. The event is steeped in history, having been inaugurated in 1870, and big crowds always turn up for the Easter Monday contest.
Bet365 Gold Cup Saturday, Sandown. The curtain falls on the season proper with the Bet365 Gold Cup, a 3m5 ½f handicap chase, that to many race fans remains in the consciousness as the "Whitbread". The race is the last big event of the season and carries a prize money purse of £160,000.

Keeper's diary - April 2009
Spring seems to have arrived at the zoo this month - and we have also experienced a baby boom on Outback as many of the female wallabies now have young joeys to look after.
The large wallaby group on Outback is now becoming even bigger, as we have all been noticing a lot of tiny heads watching us from the pouches of most of the females whilst we have cleaned their home every day for the past couple of months.
Most of the babies were born in January but, like most marsupial species, wallabies are very small and helpless when they are born, and so they have continued their growth and development in the safety of their mother's pouches.
More recently a few of the young joeys have been spotted outside, hopping about on their own and enjoying the sunshine on warmer days. They are never out for too long though as they haven't become all that brave yet, and are always ready to jump back into the safety of their protective pouches.
Because the youngsters are often hidden, and as it is impossible to see how many pouches have babies wriggling about inside, we have not been able to count the exact number of joeys just yet. Though we are certain that there are quite a lot of them, and I'm sure they will all be a lot more active and independent very soon!
The wallabies and emus on Outback also have other newcomers sharing their home with them as a pair of black swans and a variety of Australian duck species have been introduced to the pool at the front of the enclosure.
We have put up a fenced area covered in branch-work which only the swans and ducks can access, this is to provide them with some sanctuary if they want to get away from the emus, who also like using the pool and can be rather inquisitive! So far though we have had no trouble from them and all the animals seem to be getting on okay.
Elsewhere on section, the warmer weather has meant that the pygmy hippos, Thug and Nicky are spending more days out in their paddock -and have already eaten all the new grass that had grown in there. The hippos will shortly be moved into their larger summer paddock which also has a huge outdoor pool for them.
The camels, Nadia and Noemie, have begun to lose big patches of hair as they are starting to moult their long winter coats. The first areas to come off are around their faces and legs and they are beginning to look quite scruffy at the moment, but if you come and see them in the summer they will be almost completely bald!
More next month.

CRT monitors can be a pain on the eyes, especially for those of us who spend lots of time in front of the computer. Much of this pain is caused by a flickering monitor. To increase the refresh rate of your CRT monitor and help prevent the monitor from noticeably flickering, one may do the following:
- Right Click on the Desktop
- Select "Properties"
- Click on the "Settings" Tab
- Click on the "Advanced"button
- Open up the "Monitor" Tab
- Manually increase the "Screen Refresh Rate", which is measured in Hertz.
However, if you don\'t notice that your monitor is flickering, then there is no need to increase the refresh rate. Also, remember to take frequent breaks from constantly viewing the monitor and focus on various objects at different distances for a couple seconds – this is a great way to reduce sore eyes and pays off in the long run.

Climb Whaleback while you're at it, beautiful ridge. What I remember from ascending Cunningham Ck is mosquitos, sun, and brush. Ugh. Another route, which I heartily recommend, is to more closely parallel the GWD. Head north from Colby lake, follow the creek to Talus lake, go north to Table ck and pass just west of Thunder Mtn at 12000', then descend to around 11000 on Cunningham ck. I did this (w/GF) the other direction, which I think is preferable, but still super cool. Have a great time!

finckster wrote:I recall that navigating the lower sections of Cunningham Creek was much more challenging than Longley Pass itself, but totally doable. After the tarn above South Guard Lake, I stayed high in order to get around the lake. Below that, there are two steeper sections on the way down, one near a waterfall and one just above the canyon floor. You can probably get through both of them on either side of the creek; I was on the south side for the first one and the north for the lower one, but don't know that these were the better choices.

A Mallory-Weiss tear occurs in the mucus membrane of the lower part of the esophagus or upper part of the stomach, near where they join. The tear may bleed.
Mallory-Weiss tears are usually caused by forceful or long-term vomiting or coughing. They may also be caused by epileptic convulsions, or anything else that increases the pressure inside the abdomen.
Any condition that leads to violent and lengthy bouts of coughing or vomiting can cause these tears.
The tear usually heals in a few days without treatment. Surgery is rarely needed. Drugs that suppress stomach acid (proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers) may be given, but it is not clear if they are helpful.
If blood loss has been great, blood transfusions may be needed. In most cases, bleeding stops without treatment within a few hours.
Repeated bleeding is uncommon and the outcome is usually good. Cirrhosis of the liver and problems with blood clotting make future bleeding episodes more likely to occur.
Hemorrhage (loss of blood)
Call your health care provider if you begin vomiting blood or if you pass bloody stools.
Treatments to relieve vomiting and coughing may reduce risk. Avoid excessive alcohol use.

In reply to Scott - Re: Question, posted by Sheilac on May 17, 2012, at 6:23:43
It has been an hour and a half since I took the following:
150mg Trileptal
150mg Lithium
37.5 mg Wellbutrin
1mg KlonopinThe Wellbutrin just makes me feel hot and nervous. I'm not sure I will be able to stick it out. In the past Wellbutrin hasn't worked for me, so, I'm not so sure it will work for me this time.
Not sure what to do. Trileptal makes me depressed.
Do I just ask my doc to take me off everything (except the Klonopin) and try a low dose of Abilify?

Concerned that our sunny streets will soon be overrun with unruly gangs of these little critters, Virgin America has partnered with the San Francisco Animal Care and Control to transport the homeless dogs to New York where the demand for the dogs is high.

I've witnessed more young parents on the lower level of the CJC slapping the holy you-know-what out of little kids than I care to remember. First, why was the parent there? Aren't they teaching the kid that it's o.k. to be arrested and go to court? Then comes the physical slapping of the child.
Kick a dog and pretty soon he will bite you. These kids are being treated like dogs.
Whose fault is that? It's the parent/caretakers!!!
The article makes a case for more and better pre-school care but where does the parent come into the equation?
We can't abrogate our responsibilities as parents and let the government (or any other third party) take over. But if we don't, then we are raising another generation of dysfunctional kids who have no idea whatsoever of what it takes to raise a child.
Maybe the answer is to allow the children into the program but require the parents to attend (with no compensation/reward for bad parenting or learning how to be a good parent) with the child. Make the parent learn how to be a parent with their own child...and the children of others.
IOW, I think the idea of educating the child is good but what is needed more is the education of the parent. If we educate one child then we have one child educated. But if we educate AND train one parent then maybe we won't have to worry about training the second and third child...mom and dad can do it because they, now, know how.

Hey guys & gals!
I hope that you people are enjoying this new and unique concept of the txtWeb and the community interactions and the experience of using it. As we finish yet another encouraging month, I would like to thank all the members for joining our first challenge where the participants had a chance to win Apple iPhone and internships with a leading company like Intuit. We have now closed the competition and will be declaring the winners soon. So, I hope everyone is watching out for the dates.
To say the least, the challenge has been such a heart warming experience for me as a lot of bright minds got involved and produced some smart and innovative applications that could be useful to one and all. The challenge received around 140 apps from four campuses in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, which is a more than an encouraging figure. This just makes me go WOW and this is just the start.
At this point I am more than delighted with the way things are panning out and simultaneously hoping for even better applications and more buzz!! It just amazes me that so soon we have developed a growing passionate community of developers which will get even more buzzing as we take the concept to more campuses across India and to more developer groups. It will be a tremendous opportunity for the developers to network with each other. I hope that all of you have enjoyed this challenge and we look forward to bring more innovative and fun challenges to our bright developers.
Continue on this journey with us as txtWeb takes off. :)

Remove Images Letters This Weeks Letters WAILEA 670 WORRIES January 19, 2006 Just a couple months ago, Charlie Jencks harrumphed and bemoaned county regulations impeding his ability to build affordable housing ("My Meeting," Dec. 29, 2005). Today he wants to build luxury homes in Wailea, but ignore the county regulation requiring one in four of those homes to be affordable. Instead, "Two-Time" Charlie intends to donate to low-income apartment renters. This money will end up right back in the pockets of the rich apartment owners, the same folks who can afford those fancy luxury homes. It's like a rebate for the rich. Meanwhile, the working class remains apartment renters instead of homeowners. If we're going to build affordable homes, the best way to drive down prices is to take away the ability of real estate speculators to drive up costs post-construction. The county should require all residential subdivisions to follow the model that worked so well in Skill Village, Paia; for 10 years, no renters and no resale for profit. This ensures sales only to those folks who truly want a home. -Nick Rusnak, Paia The Editor responds: Actually, Jencks isn't ignoring the county's affordable housing rules. Out of his proposed 1,400 homes for Wailea 670, he's said that 350 would be affordable. That's one out of four. Of course, not all those 350 would actually be in the Wailea 670 area—he's said about one-third would be elsewhere—but to be fair most developers do everything they can to make sure the affordable homes they have to build are far from the luxurious homes they desperately want to build. The real problem with Wailea 670—or "Honua'ula," as Jencks prefers to call it—is that the county as a whole can't afford it. It's a massive development coming at a time when other massive developments are popping up all over the island. Where's the water coming from? Where are the corresponding expansions in roads and infrastructure? Jencks has the affordable housing angle fixed—he talks about it constantly—but it's the rest of the package that bothers me. FROG TALKThanks to Maui Time Weekly for handling a story that was evidently too hot for others ("Infestation!" Jan. 5, 2006). Anthony Pignataro's report on the coqui problem at Castleton's nursery in Kihei was a great piece. It's heartening to know that our mayor is doing what he can to solve this. Thanks for keeping us informed. -Warren Woodward, Kihei |

It's my very first tutorial and I just wrote too much. I hope the pictures show what they should..
First of all: gather your materials. Ribbon and Lace of your choice :)
(And sorry if I make mistakes in spelling or stuff :D)
Take a pretty thin needle ! It's easier to poke it through the zig zag !
Cut it into the right length :) I think I used way more than only 10 cm of lace.. but it depends on how voluminous you want it to be later on ! (If you get too much you can cut it later ! Don't worry.)
Then start with your rose.
Take the zig zag and fold it like this.
<- then poke your needle through !
Don't forget the knot in your thread. You should take it "double" if you know what I mean :D
I hope you can see what I did.
Just poke the needle through the end on the top..
<- Look there !
..and pull !
Now poke through the lower edge of the zig zag (the lower "zig" you could say ;D)..
<- See?
..and pull !
[Shaky picture.. sorry]
Just go on, always through the lower zig ;) Pull, poke through rose, through zig, through rose,.. and so on..
If you have no zig zag anymore start to umm sew your bottom together. Easiest way is to look where the rose is falling apart and just sew it !
<- Somewhat not elegant, just cut that fuzzy stuff off.. and don't worry about all the "thread marks" on the bottom.. you won't see them when finished.
Voila ! Your rose is finished :3
Now either cut the thread off or use it for the lace. It doesn't matter anyways..
Now I'm using a white thread for the lace. Again double. Again poking through the rose-bottom.
<- See what I do ?
Just do the same :)
Then just umm.. how to say.. press the lace down the thread untill it reaches the rose.
<- It will look like this. Just straighten it a bit and be careful to not twist the lace..
<- Pull pull pull. Until it looks like this :)
<- Sew sew sew until it looks like this :D
And youre finished :)
Now you can sew it with the rest of the thread ANYWHERE.
Have fun with it :3 And show me your version if you like it.

The market has now largely changed to those aged 55+ who are looking to make a permanent move overseas. Why? As the baby boomers approach retirement age so they are discovering the income they believed they would enjoy from their pension has dramatically shrunk. Conventional savings generate a minuscule return and UK property prices have fallen - and are set to continue falling. Consequently people have to face up to the reality of having to lead a very austere lifestyle throughout old age - or continue working. Its small wonder that many people are extremely annoyed, having worked all their lives only now to be faced with an uncertain future. Government research shows over 40% of this age group are planning to move abroad, where they can afford a better quality of life.
So what can you expect to find in Crete? Dont believe all the bad publicity the country has received over the last year?
Throughout 2010 the UK press has been unfairly banging on about how Greece is bankrupt and society has taken to the streets in protest. Now it would appear UK pigeons have come home to roost, what with demonstrations, riots, injuries, and a pending winter of discontent. While the British government has been slow off the mark to react to the problems the nation faces, the Greek government was far more courageous and acted far quicker to put in place draconian measures to reduce its fiscal deficit. Praised by the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, Greece is now on target to reduce its fiscal deficit to below 3% of its GDP by 2014. To put that figure into context, steps the UK government is putting in place would only appear to bring the countrys GDP down to a figure of around 5%!
The economic pain in the UK has hardly yet been felt, with inflation and cost of living set to rise markedly in 2011. However, in Greece the austerity measures have already been applied and while VAT was increased the main focus of cuts have been on the public sector, reducing bureaucracy and reforming the tax system. Thus, in the main, any changes to the cost of living have already been factored in and UK couples coming over now, with a pension of 1,000 per month, can look forward to enjoying a far more comfortable lifestyle than in the UK and thats not to mention the glorious 320 days of sunshine a year.
To live in Crete you dont have to worry about council tax. There isnt any - apart from 10 or so included in each utility bill. Typically your metered water will cost around 100 a year and electric for a detached two bedroom house, like one of our Snobbys, will set you back around 800 per annum or less if you have one of our renewable power systems. Because the winter is not as cold as in the UK, with temperatures never getting down to zero even at night, generally you wont need any heating during the day. Imagine the saving compared to the UK?
As you get older healthcare is always a concern. A private visit to a consultant in Crete costs around 50 and the most up to date technology is available to you, with results invariably obtained there and then. A DVT scan for example costs just 60 - and a full body scan around 600. Thats a fraction of what it costs in the UK. Healthcare in Greece is free to all those of pensionable age and in Crete the hospitals do not have MRSA. The only downside to the excellent treatment is that culturally personal nursing is undertaken by a family member which invariably means hospitals tend to be a little noisy. You can of course opt to have a private nurse.
Living in the UK, as you get older crime becomes a real worry. Crete is as safe as houses and has the lowest crime rate in the EU.
There is no doubt, apart from the wonderful weather, healthy food, glorious scenery and the friendly people; Crete allows you a tremendous opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle which the UK just cannot even get close to. Come on over. Youll be quids in!

This year I think weve just seen the tip of the iceberg. The overseas property market in Crete has changed. The status symbol of buying a holiday home in the sun, financed by a loan secured on the equity of your house in the UK, are days which have long gone. The new kids on the block are the Baby Boomers - those born in the forties who are coming up to retirement.
With much smaller pensions than they originally thought, with years of austerity ahead as government tackles the national debt, a crumbling health service - and not to mention miserable weather half the time - what is there to look forward to? It seems the great silent majority is taking life by the scruff of its neck and doing something about it. Research by the Foreign Office show that nearly half of Boomers plan to move abroad where they can enjoy a better quality of life, in the sun.
Moving to the sun is exciting and will give you a new lease of life, but its important you buy the right property and dont get carried away letting your heart rule your head. This five point plan may be obvious, but its all too easy to throw caution to the wind. For your future happiness you need to get it right and, as Snobby owners already know, they got it right!
POINT ONE - Choosing the right location
Property in tourist locations tend to be expensive and in the winter everywhere shuts down. Far better to consider a working village which is open all year round, where theres at least a mini-market and a place or two where you can eat out. Also, being near a bus stop makes sense, especially if in the future you find you cannot drive. Come to that a house on an elevated position could mean, as you get older, the steep slope may inhibit any walking.
POINT TWO - Build your own, resale, old, or new?
The gamut of buying land and building your own home may be a dream, but its fraught with bureaucratic danger, delays, will give you high blood pressure and will always cost you more than you thought. Resales can be risky unless your lawyer digs deep to check all building licenses are in place and properties may not necessarily comply with current anti-seismic construction standards. A stone derelict may have soul and be cheap too, but always requires a blank cheque to restore the property. Can you afford it? New build is the safest option - and invariably there is a guarantee too, which will ensure there are no unexpected maintenance costs to cover.
POINT THREE - Size matters!
While owning a huge plot of land may be your dream. In reality as you get older it will be impossible to maintain. Even if you are a passionate gardener will you be able to stand the heat having to work 24/7 to keep abreast with everything? Even a garden of 100 square metres is plenty big enough to grow all the vegetables you need for two and still have space left over for a garden of plants, pots, raised beds and the odd lemon tree.
POINT FOUR - Busting your budget
People arriving in Crete often seem to be sprinkled with fairy dust, with preconceived ideas flying out the window. PLEASE make a must have list, and in large letters, enter the budget you can comfortably afford. No matter what, never let your heart rule your head. Your budget should also include the figure needed to pay for all the purchase costs and taxes. Work on 18% on top of the house price as a maximum guideline. Far better to buy something beneath your budget than bite into your savings and prejudice your future lifestyle.
POINT FIVE - Financial security
Never, ever, send money directly to your lawyer, agent, architect or builder. Only ever transfer money from the UK into your own Greek bank account. The pink slips confirming the monies you transferred from the UK need to be declared on your Greek tax return, or it will be presumed you earn a taxable income in Greece! On a new build, and especially buying off plan, you should always take steps to protect your deposit, or stage payments, should the builder happen to default. Only proceed with buying a property if you are sure any monies you pay over prior to completion is made legally safe.
At Snobby we work hard to provide exactly what the UK market is seeking. With Snobby you get amazing value and quality. In fact we proudly claim Snobbys are the lowest new build prices for detached homes youll find in Crete. Dont take our word for it come on over and see!

With the austerity measures currently put in place by the Greek government, foreigners who own property in Greece and potential buyers thinking of buying a house, need to keep several points in the back of their mind, to prevent falling foul of the Greek revenue.
Dont take the self-righteous attitude of I pay UK tax so the Greek system has nothing to do with me. That will not hold water. Exactly as you are obliged to do in the UK, anyone with a Greek tax number is legally charged to file a declaration each year. As you need a Greek tax number in order to own a property in Crete that means you. Relax, dont worry, theres nothing to it, providing you follow simple instruction but dont do the ostrich thing, or itll come back later to bite you in the bum and cost you money.
You cant get away from filing a tax return. On selling a home in Greece, the lawyer will check there are no outstanding loans or unsettled tax owed on the property. If youve not filed annual tax returns against the period of ownership, you will be fined for every year missed. Even worse, if you havent filed tax returns AND havent been clear where funds originally came from to purchase your house, the revenue will presume the money was derived from earnings in Greece and you will be taxed accordingly. This will invariably mean having to shell out thousands in fines and outstanding tax.
Just follow the simple rules and you wont get into a pickle.
The tax year runs from January 1st until 31st December and while all Greeks have to file their return within a couple of months into the New Year, foreigners invariably have a couple of months more. The tax return shows whether you own a property, land, a swimming pool, a car, or a boat, and documents authenticating these purchases are all forwarded to the revenue to support your tax declaration.
It sounds daunting, but just relax and with the right advice its easy-peasey.
If you generate an income in Greece there must be sufficient earnings shown to meet these purchases. If money was sent over to Crete from the UK, then this has to be proved, or it will be presumed you generated the money in Greece and you will be taxed accordingly.
Greeks expect to pay an accountant around 50 for their annual tax return. As you dont understand the system I believe its much safer to find an accountant who speaks good English and has at least a working knowledge of UK tax law, to best advise you. It may cost you more, but youre also paying for peace of mind, someone who will do all the running around on your behalf and you can be secure in the knowledge that you will not be hit by any hidden tax bill, now, or in the future.
When buying a house or a car, you should NEVER pay money to a third party in Crete, direct from the UK. Money should ALWAYS be transferred from the UK directly into your own Greek bank account. If you cannot be there to withdraw it, then authorize your lawyer to withdraw specific funds on your behalf.
When in Crete you should go to your bank and ask for copies of the Pink Slips. This is a legal record confirming you brought funds into Greece from the UK and therefore these sums are not taxable. Never bring spending money over. Always transfer money from the UK into Crete to maximize your Pink Slips.
Your accountant will need these to enter on your Greek tax return and the total amount should exceed the purchase costs of your house, land, car or boat. If you have taken out a Greek mortgage to fund any of these, then you will need sufficient Pink Slips to cover the loan repayments each year.
The Greek revenue are now saying if your house is only used for holidays, or part of a year, then there are various costs associated with that, such as utility bills etc. Consequently, dependant upon the square meterage of your house, the size of pool and type of car, the revenue will estimate how much money you need to bring into Greece each year to cover these running costs.
For example, if you have a two bedroom Snobby, then you need to introduce funds from the UK amounting to approximately 2,000 each year. If you have a Greek mortgage of, say 450 per month, then you need Pink Slips of around 7,500 to cover everything.
Appreciate that Greece has a different system. Dont take chances just because you know something about taxation in the UK. Find a good accountant used to dealing with property owners from the UK. We can recommend an excellent one in Chania who speaks good English and takes care of everything, without you having to run around Chania and queuing in all the various governmental departments. Everything will be taken care of and you wont have to pay a penny in tax.

Many of those buying a property in the sun yearn for land and plenty of it - vast acres of the stuff - but why? For a start more land costs more money and theres a whole lot of difference between enjoying a spot of gardening and suddenly finding youve become a farmer by default. Can you afford hired help? If not youll work yourself into the ground, fighting 24/7 to prevent a withered wilderness in summer becoming an overrun jungle in winter. When you first consider buying a property with plenty of land you really do need to think things through, because size does matter and small is beautiful if you want to get a life.
Denise Gilbert, from Croydon is passionate about gardening. She and her family used to spend many holidays in Crete over the years and fell in love with the island. After her husband died she and her daughter Alison, who is a Park Ranger in Chelmsford, often discussed moving to Crete and starting a new life. They began to look for property and discovered a small development of five Snobbys being built in the village of Kamisiana in western Crete. Alison decided to buy a two bedroom Snobby while Denise bought the house next door - a three bedroom Snobby Posh Pad. Having sold her house in the UK, Denise moved over permanently in February 2010, while Alison plans to move into hers by the end of the year.
Denise says, On my holidays Id met people who had bought houses on large plots and now realised it was a mistake. As they got older what was difficult to maintain, became downright impossible to look after. I love gardening but the need to spend every waking minute of your time out in the heat just trying to keep on top of things was a pressure I could do without. I calculated what I wanted to grow - and the space needed - and discovered I could be self-sufficient and have a lovely garden without being chained to my fork and spade. I suppose people may want a large plot for privacy, but all Snobbys come with a walled garden - and therefore you get privacy, but pay less for the privilege.
The Snobbys bought by Denise and Alison stand above the old village, surrounded by olive trees, with a panoramic sea view towards the picturesque fishing village of Kolimbari and the soaring Rotherpou Peninsular.
Says Denise, While the cost of living in Crete is much lower than in the UK, I liked the fact I could make my money go even further by growing all my own vegetables. The whole of my garden is around 118 sq. m. yet you would not believe what can be grown.
Denise buys plants and seeds from the local animal feed shop in nearby Tavronitis, and is often given cuttings by friendly neighbours. She has three tomato and two red pepper plants as well as a bed of huge red onions growing beside the garden path by the side of the house. A gravelled area in front of a sun terrace has now become a jungle of triffid-like leaves hiding melons, butter squash, cucumbers and courgettes. On the lower terrace she has a vegetable garden of just 20ft x 10ft and planted here are spinach, broccoli, aubergines and beans. Im still trying to get it right, she says. I planted three courgette plants and grew so many I had to give them away. As fast as I cut them so others grew in their place. Its the same with the tomatoes too. Once Ive planted a crop the only tending they need is watering, which I do in the evening, when its cooler and theres less chance of evaporation. With plenty of water and the level of sun you get in Crete, its small wonder that everything does so well.
But Denise garden is not just about vegetables. Theres an abundance of colour with geraniums, palms, bougainvilleas and a lemon tree and grape vine too - although these will take a couple of years before giving fruit.
Says Denise, A garden like mine is perfect. It doesnt rule my life, I can potter to my hearts content and at the end of the day you cannot beat the taste of fresh organic produce youve grown yourself -without too much effort either. Alison is planning to see Yiannis, who owns the olive grove next door to see whether he will rent a small piece of land to keep chickens - and maybe even a goat!
The good life isnt about the size of plot you can afford. Its all about the lifestyle you can afford by being Snobby.

Come the Budget, in October, the Chancellor will have little option but to squeeze the UK economy even tighter. Whats more theres some bad news on the UK property front that could delay your dreams of moving to the sun. You really do need to sit down now and plan what you need to do, before its too late.
Leading accountants Pricewaterhouse Coopers, have published a report on the UK housing market claiming that house prices could remain below their peak levels for the next ten years. In other words there is a 50% chance your home will be worth less in 2020 than it was in 2007. They forecast house prices could plunge by 25% over the next three years.
Ed Stansfield Chief Property Economist, of Capital Economics - goes one step further. He forecasts property prices will drop by 5% by the end of this year, followed by a 10% drop in 2011 and a further drop of 10% in 2012. In real terms that means the average home today, worth £162,000, will drop to £125,000 by the end of 2012! Take your time and money will just run through your fingers and be wasted.
Ray Clinn, Head of Pensions for Liverpool Victoria Insurance
says, Britains over 50s have already seen their pension pots damaged by the economic crisis in the UK and we estimate 28% of people aged over 50 will be forced to delay their retirement. Do you want to spend the rest of your life having to work and then having to count the pennies just to live?
We know there is a growing pent-up market desperate to leave the UK, as over the last two years Snobby has seen a positive upward rise in enquiries and number of appointments to view our properties. However, in most cases buyers are unable to make the move until they sell their house and generate the necessary equity.
Naturally everyone wants to get the best price they can for the sale of their house but the question is can you afford to wait? Prices in Crete have remained relatively stable and are even likely to rise slightly in 2011. If you have a house in the UK with a market value of £162,000, by the end of next year you could have lost nearly £20,000 and the year after that ANOTHER £17,000 and thats not to mention on-going expenses of council tax and TV license, and increase cost of living. The longer you stay in the UK the more money its going to cost you. The sooner you do something about it, the more youll save. Where would you rather be? Lying out in the sun enjoying a wonderful life or sitting indoors worried about whether you can afford to turn the heating up?
Lets say youre coming up to retirement and your mortgage is paid up. Bite the bullet and put your house on the market for a quick sale. If you have an average priced house of £162,000, market it for £149,000 thats a huge drop of £13,000 and makes a really attractive price for a fast sale. After the sale costs and legal expenses that would leave you with around £142,000 on todays rate thats equivalent to 170,000 euros.
Move to Crete and as an example, take one of our Snobbys a two double bedroom detached villa, standing in a spacious walled garden. That would cost you around 120,000 euros and that price includes all purchase costs, fixtures and fittings, so theres nothing else you need budget for. Youd arrive in Crete, everything paid for, with a nice little nest egg of over 50,000 euros!
Factor in a UK state pension for a married couple of around 750 euros per month, plus a private pension of perhaps 500 euros and youll be living the life of Riley. A couple in Crete can live comfortably on 1,000 euros a month and on top of that you have money behind you too.
Is it really worth losing out on the rest of your life because you want to squeeze that last penny out of your house when likely as not youll lose money while waiting?
If you would like to receive accurate information on a property and living package in Crete just let us know and well do our best to help.

The only exception I found on my Logos software was the American Standard Version. I used the same software to search the N.T., in the NASV. I found I John, 3:2 and 2:28 to be the only two times in which "ean" was rendered "when." Is there any grammatical reason why so many translations give "ean" the meaning "when" ? Or, might their reasons be theological? Thank you in advance, Lynn R.-C. >> Dear Lynn, Robert A. Young has the following: "EAN can be used as a temporal conjunction to convey a future event that is contemporaneous with another future event. 1 John 3:2 (We know that when [EAN] he appears, we shall be like him; cf. John 12:32; Heb. 3:7; 1 John 2:28)" (Young, p. 184). While I agree with Young about the rendering of EAN in 1 John 2:28; 3:2, I really do not think his examples are very helpful here. Note especially Heb. 3:7. Another comment is given by Steven. M. Baugh in his First John Reader: "Normally, EAN introduces a condition in the future: EAN FANERWQHi, "If he should appear." In this verse, however, John is not expressing doubt as to whether the Lord will appear. In the common use of Greek (found also in the LXX), EAN doubled in function with the indefinite temporal marker hOTAN, "whenever" or "when," as here and in 3:2. The phrase should then be translated "when he appears." Remember that a subjunctive phrase does not necessarily communicate doubt about the fulfillment of an event, but that the author does not know precisely when it will happen" (p. 42). I hope this helps, Edgar Foster

Fantasy Football: 13 Star Players I Don't Own in 11 Fantasy Leagues
By (Fantasy Sports Lead Writer) on September 7, 2012
2,321 reads
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
On Thursday, I offered a whimsical slideshow of "11 Star Players Who Ended Up on 4 of My Fantasy Teams." (I know...clumsiest headline ever.)
On the flip side, today's countdown touts 13 star players who weren't drafted onto any of my fantasy leagues.
For the record, of my 10 snake drafts (one was a keeper/auction), I had the No. 1 slot once, No. 3 twice, No. 6 twice, No. 7 once, No. 9 once, No. 10 twice and No. 11 once.
As a general rule, I'll happily move heaven and earth to land a running back at the top of drafts.
By extension, high-end quarterbacks and tight ends sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
Enjoy the show!
Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 4,643 yards passing, 48 TD (three rushing)
Reasons for Not Drafting: never owned the No. 4 or 5 overall picks.
Skinny: I don't need anyone to regale me with tales of greatness involving Aaron Rodgers.
I've already declared his 2011 numbers (48 total touchdowns, six interceptions) as the most efficient/dynamic season for any quarterback in NFL history.
But for this countdown, I simply wasn't willing to pass on LeSean McCoy or Arian Foster whenever possessing a top-three pick.
My rationale: I'll take my chances on a Matthew Stafford, Cam Newton, Eli Manning or even Matt Schaub (in Round 7 or 8) and draft high from a scarcer pool of elite running backs.
Quarterback: Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 5,476 yards passing, 47 TD (one rushing)
Reasons for Not Drafting: favored RB/WR at tail end of Round 1.
Skinny: The Rodgers rationale essentially holds true for Drew Brees, the NFL's all-time, single-season passing king.
I would have certainly considered Brees at value—sometime between the seventh and 10th picks. But in each circumstance, I opted for a high-end receiver or back like Calvin Johnson and Chris Johnson.
The absence of Saints head coach Sean Payton also played a role in the draft indifference, as I harbor doubts about Brees eclipsing the 5,000-yard mark in consecutive seasons.
Quarterback: Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Elsa/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 5,239 yards passing, 42 TD (three rushing)
Reasons for Not Drafting: favored Stafford or tailback at end of Round 1.
Skinny: I had the option of taking Tom Brady at No. 10 overall three times.
But since I value Matthew Stafford over Brady—by the tiniest of margins—it made sense to grab Stafford in all three scenarios.
I'm also leery of three Brady factoids:
1. It took 10 full NFL seasons for Brady to eclipse the 5,000-yard passing mark.
2. Brady's three greatest performances from 2011 occurred in Weeks 1-3—and in descending order.
3. In Brady's illustrious career, he has enjoyed a seasonal improvement in touchdown passes only three times.
Running Back: Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens
Larry French/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 2,068 total yards, 15 TD
Games of 5 Catches, 90 Total Yards and/or 1 TD: 16
Reasons for Not Drafting: wasn't available in nine of 10 drafts.
Skinny: In his four pro seasons, Ray Rice has developed a pattern of 2,000 total yards and 70-plus catches in odd-numbered years, with totals short of that in even-numbered ones.
Using that convoluted logic, Rice likely won't become just the 10th running back in NFL history to cross the 2,000-yard threshold in consecutive years.
That aside, Rice is still the kingpin in points-per-reception circles. He's the only lock for 60 catches, 1,700 total yards and double-digit scores.
He's also the only back to go 16-for-16 in the above threshold of five catches, 90 total yards and/or one touchdown last season.
Running Back: Darren McFadden, Oakland Raiders
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 768 total yards, five TD
Games of 5 Catches, 90 Total Yards and/or 1 TD: five
Reasons for Not Drafting: lost games of "Draft Chicken" for Round 2.
Skinny: Assuming full health, Darren McFadden should have a monster season with the Raiders.
Michael Bush is gone (no more vulture TDs) and backups Mike Goodson/Taiwan Jones, frankly speaking, aren't in Bush's class.
That aside, I was still shocked to see McFadden get drafted at 13 or higher in eight of my 10 snake drafts.
Running Back: Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 1,508 total yards, 11 TD
Games of 5 Catches, 90 Total Yards and/or 1 TD: 11
Reasons for Not Drafting: lost games of "Draft Chicken" for Round 3.
Skinny: I can live with myself for passing on Michael Turner in Round 3 of PPR drafts.
After all, Turner has a grand total of 40 catches in four seasons with the Falcons (2008-11), which explains the Grand Canyon-size gulf between his pre-draft value in standard-scoring (Round 3) and PPR leagues (Round 5).
But I must have been seriously touched in the head to pass on Turner in Round 4 of my Detroit homeboys league (standard scoring).
My reasoning: With Steven Jackson and Frank Gore already on the roster, I didn't want three "old men" as my top rushers...just in case the trio was primed for a Thelma and Louise-style ride off the production cliff—not unlike Shaun Alexander, Brian Westbrook or Larry Johnson in years past.
Passing on Turner wayyyyyyyy past his normal value? In the immortal words of golfer Phil Mickelson: "Man, I'm...such an idiot."
Running Back: DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys
Al Bello/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 1,078 total yards, two TD
Games of 5 Catches, 90 Total Yards and/or 1 TD: five
Reasons for Not Drafting: wussed out in Rounds 2 and 3.
Skinny: For me, the big-picture highlight of the Cowboys-Giants opener involved the rushing prowess of DeMarco Murray (140 total yards) and Ahmad Bradshaw (93 total yards, one TD).
Both talents were running "downhill" on seemingly every carry and not shying away from contact.
In fact, if the Cowboys had earmarked more than five carries (and 12 yards) for Murray during the preseason, perhaps I wouldn't have been so reticent to grab him within the first 26 picks of 11 different fantasy leagues.
(Murray's rookie campaign was curtailed by a broken ankle in Week 14.)
Wide Receiver: Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 80 catches, 1,411 yards, eight TD
Reasons for Not Drafting: wussed out in Round 2.
Skinny: Matthew Stafford, Jamaal Charles and Larry Fitzgerald are my three favorite players to watch every NFL Sunday.
But that still wasn't enough gratis to grab Fitzgerald in Round 2 of standard-scoring drafts—at least not with John Skelton as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.
(I prefer Kevin Kolb in Arizona...but that's not my call.)
Here's the bottom line: If you were Fitzgerald or Wes Welker—a pair of reasonable locks for 90 catches, 1,300 yards and eight to nine touchdowns—and had to pin your fantasy hopes to either Tom Brady, Kolb or Skelton, which one would you choose?
Which one would you choose?
On the positive side, Fitzgerald's 154 targets from last season—including six double-digit efforts—scream something in the realm of 90-93 receptions.
Bottom line: It's a shame Fitz never slid to me in Round 3.
Wide Receiver: A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals
Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 65 catches, 1,057 yards, seven TD
Reasons for Not Drafting: no interest in taking him before Round 4.
Skinny: I have three viable reasons for attaching a modest preseason ranking (No. 15) to A.J. Green—one obvious and two that may become abundantly clear to fantasy gurus by October.
For starters, the overall depth at receiver has blossomed to previously unforeseen levels. There isn't a fantasy dog in the top 40.
In previous seasons, a stud athlete coming off a rookie campaign of four 100-yard games and seven touchdowns would be a top-10 consideration. But in Green's case, it's merely the foundation that guarantees him a spot in the top 16.
Now, for the second part: With Jerome Simpson now running routes for the Vikings, the Bengals are in dire need of a consistently productive No. 2 receiver, a vacancy that Brandon Tate, Armon Binns and rookie Mohamed Sanu will attempt to fill. In the meantime, Green is bound to see plenty of double-teams.
One more thing: The Bengals' 2012 schedule, from the perspective of opposing pass defenses, might be the toughest in the entire NFL. Two dates with the Steelers, Ravens and Browns, followed by clashes with the Redskins, Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Broncos, Dolphins and Chiefs.
Bottom line, for 2013 and beyond, I love Green's prospects for becoming a top-10 fantasy asset. But for the upcoming season, I simply prefer 14 other wideouts ahead of him.
Wide Receiver: Vincent Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Photo Credit: US PRESSWIRE
2011 Stats: 60 catches, 1,106 yards, nine TD
Reasons for Not Drafting: had better options in Round 6.
Skinny: It never fails.
In this era of free agency, there's always one veteran who just doesn't look right in his new uniform.
By extension, it makes things uncomfortable when selecting that player on draft day, at or above value.
In other words, I may have Vincent Jackson installed as the No. 19 receiver in standard-scoring leagues.
But in a weird way, he'll need to re-prove his fantasy greatness all over again in Tampa Bay.
Tight End: Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 90 catches, 1,327 yards, 18 TD (one rushing)
Reasons for Not Drafting: favored running backs in Round 2.
Skinny: Rob Gronkowski might be the most gifted athlete/route-running tight end I've seen in 15 years (since a young Tony Gonzalez), but he isn't alone at his position.
There are plenty of athletic freaks at tight end, affording fantasy owners the opportunity to pass on Gronk and Jimmy Graham (all but one draft) in Rounds 1 or 2...and hope for breakout performances from Brandon Pettigrew, Fred Davis, Brent Celek, Jermaine Gresham or Kyle Rudolph/Coby Fleener in later rounds.
Please don't mistake the above rationale for a lack of Gronkowksi appreciation. He is one of the 10 best fantasy talents in the marketplace.
Tight End: Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 67 catches, 792 yards, six TD
Reasons for Not Drafting: favored other options in Round 5.
Skinny: I really have no excuse for passing on Vernon Davis, my No. 4 tight end in standard-scoring leagues.
For the most part, his Round 6 and 7 value was an acceptable threshold for someone of VD's considerable talents.
But in each case of sidestepping Alex Smith's go-to target, I opted for building up the tailbacks or receiver corps with assets like Shonn Greene, Doug Martin, Jeremy Maclin or Dwayne Bowe.
Tight End: Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images
2011 Stats: 79 catches, 942 yards, five TD
Reasons for Not Drafting: red flag on injury front.
Skinny: It's immaterial that Jason Witten was cleared by doctors for the Cowboys' opener against the Giants.
When I heard words like "lacerated spleen" and "possible spleen removal" in August, it was enough to sound the alarms on Witten's viability for the entire season.
And if Witten should go injury-free for all of 2012 and threaten to match or eclipse last year's strong numbers...then so be it.

Peek Inside... Entries For June 18:1805:1806:Captain Lewis (current) |
Captain Lewis:
<< Previous Entry (6/16/1806) | (6/19/1806) Next Entry >> |
This morning we had considerable difficulty in collecting our horses, they having straggled off to a considerable distance in search of food on the sides of the mountains among the thick timber. At 9 o'clock we collected them all except one of Drouilliard's and one of Shields's. We set out, leaving Shields and Lepage to collect the two lost horses and follow us. We dispatched Drouilliard and Shannon to the Chopunnish Indians in the plains beyond the Kooskooskee in order to hasten the arrival of the Indians who had promised to accompany us, or to procure a guide at all events and rejoin us as soon as possible. We sent by them a rifle, which we offered as a reward to any of them who would engage to conduct us to Traveler's Rest. We also directed them, if they found difficulty in inducing any of them to accompany us, to offer the reward of two other guns to be given them immediately, and ten horses at the Falls of Missouri.
We had not proceeded far this morning before Potts cut his leg very badly with one of the large knives. He cut one of the large veins on the inner side of the leg. I found much difficulty in stopping the blood, which I could not effect until I applied a tight bandage with a little cushion of wood and tow, on the vein below the wound.
Colter's horse fell with him in passing Hungry Creek and himself and horse were driven down the creek a considerable distance rolling over each other among the rocks. Fortunately he escaped without injury or the loss of his gun.
By 1 P.M., we returned to the glade on the branch of Hungry Creek, where we had dined on the 16th inst. Here we again halted and dined. As there was much appearance of deer about this place, we left R. and J. Fields with directions to hunt this evening and tomorrow morning at this place, and to join us in the evening at the meadows of Collins's Creek, where we intend remaining tomorrow in order to rest our horses and hunt. After dinner we proceeded on to Collins's Creek and encamped in a pleasant situation at the upper part of the meadows about 2 miles above our encampment of the 15th inst. We sent out several hunters, but they returned without having killed anything. They saw a number of salmon [trout] in the creek and shot at them several times, without success. We directed Colter and Gibson to fix each of them a gig in the morning and endeavor to take some of the salmon. The hunters saw much fresh appearance of bear but very little of deer. We hope by means of the fish, together with what deer and bear we can kill, to be enabled to subsist until our guide arrives, without the necessity of returning to the quamash flats. There is a great abundance of good food here to sustain our horses.

Husband Guilty Of Kent Family Arson Deaths
A husband has been found guilty of murdering his son, estranged wife and her father in arson attack at their home in Chatham, Kent.
Danai Muhammadi, 24, from Coventry and his friend Farhad Mahmud, 35, were convicted at Maidstone Crown Court.
The pair squirted petrol through the letter box of the house using a garden spray container, leading to fire breaking out at the base of the stairs.
Melissa Crook, 20, and the couple's 15-month-old son Noah Muhammad died in the fire. Ms Crook's father, Mark, died later.
As the verdicts were read out, survivors Amanda and Bohdan Crook shook visibly and hugged each other.
As Judge Mr Justice Sweeney said that Muhammadi and Mahmud faced life behind bars, one family member shouted "good".
The judge told the jury: "There can be very few criminal cases which are as taxing for a jury than this one must have been.
"I don't suppose any of us are going to forget some aspects of the evidence we have heard about the fire."
Muhammadi's girlfriend Emma Smith, 21, was cleared of three counts of murder and two of attempted murder, but found guilty of three counts of manslaughter.
Prosecutors said the arson was a "wicked attack" which had been well planned following the breakdown of the marriage between Muhammadi and Ms Crook.

Important: Patch 3.15 Notes, Unofficial PBE Patch Notes for 12/12/2013 - Poros Po(u)ring Upon A Showdown Victory
Team Builder Beta Update

Miss Mecha Zero here with a Team Builder Beta Update. We're coming back to the PBE tomorrow so I wanted to take some time to talk about what's been going on with our testing and iteration, and how you've helped us to make some improvements to the feature! Lyte and I will start a conversation thread here on the forums tomorrow so that you can send us your feedback and thoughts on the most recent iteration of Team Builder.
Team Builder Beta Update - December 12th, 2013
What is Team Builder?
Team Builder is a new queue designed to help League of Legends players create teams and strategize in a low-stress environment before getting into a game. In Team Builder, captains are able to create and control the composition of a team, while solo players can select their champion, role, and position before queuing up.
Testing on the PBE
For our initial testing, we were particularly interested in how well you were able to navigate the Team Builder interface since it's very different from the current Champ Select. We also wanted to get a sense for Team Builder queue times experienced by players on our test environment.
Although testers were able to build their teams easily, the transition from a Team Builder lobby to game start caught many players off guard. As soon as a match was found, Team Builder would minimize without warning and the game client would start. Many players reported that this experience felt too abrupt, especially since it was difficult to know how long matchmaking would take on the PBE.
In the next iteration, we won't have a complete "match made" ceremony where text and graphics display on the screen to that say a match has been found, but we have gone ahead and added a sound effect similar to the "Match found" effect from our live queues. We're hoping this change will make the experience more smooth.
We also noticed that, although queue times were relatively stable (unless a player was bugged out of the queue) there were exceptions that were a bit longer than we would prefer. When we enabled the ability for captains to specify roles for solo players, in addition to position, queue times increased more than expected. There are a couple reasons for this but the most significant is that the PBE is a much smaller region in terms of its player base, so the available pool of solos tends to be smaller. This problem was magnified last time we ran testing since many captains were also experimenting with unique team compositions as we had prompted with our UX testing instructions.
In order to evaluate this more specifically, we are inviting a much larger group of players to test on the environment the next time Team Builder will be enabled on the PBE. Also, we will be making the feature available for testing as often as we are able to (barring major issues). This way, we hope to observe more natural usage of the feature (closer to what we would expect to see on a live environment).
When will Team Builder be available again for Testing?
We will enable Team Builder on the PBE weekly starting Friday, Dec 13th and hope to have it available to you every week from Thursday through Sunday. Please note that we will strive to make it available as often as we can, but can only turn it on when there are enough players logged into the environment. More instructions and a comprehensive change list will be posted on the PBE community when we go live, and Lyte, RiotDoctahWayne and I will be here to discuss the feature. We are looking forward to discussing the feature with you again and getting more feedback!
To get involved with beta testing features like Team Builder, sign up using the web app for your region below! More regions will be added as support is implemented for them.

This Just In: No One Was Shot Or Stabbed Monday In New York City
Police officials in New York City tell the Daily News that they can't remember the last time this happened:
"Not a single person was reported shot, stabbed or slashed" in the Big Apple on Monday.
"Nice way to start the week," Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne told the newspaper.
The city's nonviolent streak didn't last long, though. Late Tuesday morning, the Daily News says, "a 27-year-old man was shot in Brooklyn at Ralph and Flatlands Ave."
Still, the news seems to be part of a welcome trend. As NY1 reports, "NYPD statistics show the city has come a long way since 1990, when there was an average of more than six murders a day and 2,200 a year. This year, the city is on pace for just about 400 murders."
The news has been much different, as you may have heard, in the nation's Second City. As NPR's David Schaper has reported, homicides and shootings are up sharply this year in Chicago. The homicide rate there is up about 20 percent from 2011 and there have been about 1,800 nonfatal shooting incidents.
