Summary: Patient two is a female toddler with a medical history significant for neuroblastoma, which was treated with adrenocorticotropic horomone (ACTH), and stage II ganglioneuroblastoma. On a chest radiograph for follow-up of a recent pulmonary infection, congenital cervical lung herniation was detected. Review of prior films dating back to birth revealed that there was subtle evidence of lung herniation.
Summary: Patient three is an otherwise healthy male infant who underwent chest radiography for cough and fever. The finding of cervical lung herniation was made incidentally.
If a defect is present in Sibson's fascia (Figure 2) and the intrathoracic pressure is increased, a cervical lung herniation may occur. The cupola of the lung protrudes into or through the fascia at the thoracic inlet. It is unknown if an inherent weakness in the fascia predisposes individuals to this type of hernia, and it is also uncertain whether individuals with apical lung herniations are at increased risk for other hernias secondary to a generalized fascial laxity. These questions were posed by Grunebaum and Griscom3 after they noted the presence of two hernias elsewhere and a hydrocele in their small series.
Sibson's fascia, otherwise known as deep cervical fascia, suprapleural membrane, and membrana suprapleuralis, acts like a diaphragm across the thoracic inlet. Sibson's fascia originates from the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebrae and inserts along the inner border of the first rib and costal cartilage (Figure 2). At the periphery, the thickened portion of the endothoracic fascia blends with Sibson's fascia. The fascia also blends into the parietal pleura and is often reinforced by the scalenus minimus muscle. Three superficial bands arise from the scalene prevertebral fascia and also strengthen Sibson's fascia.4 These bands are the vertebromembranous with a C7 and T1 origin, the transversomembranous with a C7 origin, and the costomembranous with an origin at the neck of the first rib. All three insert on the first rib. If the scalenus minimus is not present, the latter two bands receive contributions from its remnants. The boundaries of Sibson's fascia are posteriorly and laterally the vertebral column, first rib, levator scapulae, and scalenus medius muscle; medially the superior mediastinal structures; and anteriorly the scalenus anterior and sternocleidomastoid muscles.3
Cervical lung herniation is infrequently described in the literature, and most of the "herniations" found in the literature are actually protrusions.4 Despite the lack of clarity in the nomenclature of these lung protrusions, little attempt has been made to delineate a hernia from a protrusion. The first distinction made between the two is that a true hernia is secondary to a tear or defects in Sibson's fascia and is very uncommon, while a protrusion is felt to be secondary to weakening of Sibson's fascia. Unfortunately, a tear or defect is indiscernible without surgery.4 Also, because lung protrusions regress spontaneously, those bulges that do not regress or progress are labeled as hernias. Interestingly, most cases described as protrusions have a superior extent of no greater than C6, C7, or the superior margin of the T11 vertebral body.
Making the distinction more difficult, in 1978 Grunebaum and Griscom3 described a case of a 3-month-old who had a cervical lung herniation to the level of C4 that regressed and disappeared in 2 years. We also note an apical lung herniation to the level of the C5 vertebral body, which reduced spontaneously on a subsequent radiograph 1 week later (Figure 3).
The cervical lung hernias can often be palpated in the neck or supraclavicular area, especially in situations in which intrathoracic pressure is increased. Crying, coughing, straining, and valsalva can all produce the characteristic mass that can give the patient a "frog-like" appearance.5 Crepitation may be felt over the mass, but pain and hoarseness are notably absent.
It is recommended that the patient increase intrathoracic pressure by any of the aforementioned maneuvers during radiographic procedures. The frontal view often does not demonstrate the hernia, and a lateral neck film with valsalva is often the procedure of choice (Figures 3A and B). Spontaneous reduction may prevent radiographic spot film visualization (Figures 3C and 4A). Fluoroscopy with frontal and oblique views may aid in the diagnosis, especially with a young or uncooperative patient. The trachea often deviates away from the protrusion (Figure 4B), and in the lateral projection, the cervical trachea may be narrowed (Figure 3A).
Lightwood and Cleland1 stated, "the results of [surgical] repair are satisfactory provided that selection is restricted to those with a definite hernia." This opinion reinforces the need to develop objective criteria for differentiation between a cervical lung herniation and a lung protrusion. To date, there is poor criteria to differentiate between the two. Currarino4 describes protrusions as not uncommon, seen often in the first 3 years of life, varying greatly in size without a separation between mild and severe forms, and the majority resolving before the age of 3. With these facts, it may be reasonable to state that those "protrusions" occurring after the age of 3 or those protrusions increasing in size from birth to age 3 may, in fact, be cervical lung hernias. Additionally, the bulk of the literature on cervical lung protrusions indicates that most of these protrusions do not extend superior to the C6 vertebral body. This seems reasonable given the anatomic location of Sibson's fascia, which extends from the transverse process of C7 to the inner border of the first rib (Figure 2). The prior reported cases in combination with this anatomic information would suggest that apical lung protrusions that extend more cephelad than the superior endplate of the C6 vertebral body would be more consistent with cervical lung herniations. This development of differentiating criteria should be considered important not only to decrease the potential morbidity from this entity but because of the satisfactory repair noted by Lightwood and Cleland1 whose patients were "restricted to those with a definite hernia."
Surgery is required only for those with persistent hernias because protrusions (and even some herniations) are noted to resolve spontaneously. A conservative approach to a presumed apical hernia is warranted, unless respiratory distress is noted. If the cervical lung herniation does not reduce, even with decreased intrathoracic pressure, the possibility of an incarcerated lung should be considered. If the lung herniation persists over time and does not regress, surgery is a viable option. A direct suture technique is used in small tears in Sibson's fascia while prosthetic materials may be used to repair larger tears. The transthoracic route is often used, although the alternate cervical route is advocated by some surgeons.1 Other indications for surgery include cosmetic repair and incarceration (although no case reports exist describing cervical lung hernia incarceration). Patients may also undergo surgery to reduce the risk of pneumothorax. Procedures such as tracheostomy and jugular and subclavian line placement also have higher theoretical complications given the closer proximity of the apex of the lung, and adequate caution must be exercised when performing thoracic interventional procedures in these patients.
The natural course for cervical lung hernias is not described in the literature, and there is substantial confusion in differentiating cervical lung protrusions from lung herniations. Complicating this distinction, there has been at least one reported case of spontaneous regression of a cervical lung herniation but no specific radiographic guidelines to differentiate between the two. Although most true cervical lung hernias occur after trauma, congenital and spontaneous cases do exist. Radiographically, differentiating between a herniation and a protrusion has traditionally been a matter of opinion, and deciding on a follow-up regimen versus surgical correction can often prove to be a difficult decision. Establishment of objective criteria for differentiating a cervical lung herniation from a protrusion will assist in determining the follow-up necessary (if any) and in formulating a treatment plan

SLDR Fairway
The #1 Driver on Tour Now Has Company
SLDR fairways woods and Rescue clubs combine two of TaylorMade's most recent innovations: Speed Pocket technology and an exceptionally low-and-forward center of gravity (CG) location.
Smaller is better. The new Speed Pocket is smaller (introduced in the RocketBallz fairways and Rescues), which actually makes it more efficient at increasing how fast the face flexes at impact, promoting faster initial ball speed across a wider portion of the face, which helps you get consistently long distance on every swing.
The new Speed Pocket design also gave TaylorMade engineers room to move the clubhead's CG lower and farther forward, to a place that promotes faster ball speed and a lower spin-rate.
We learned with the SLDR driver that a low-forward CG location allows many players to increase their loft to achieve the right combination of high-launch / low-spin that promotes maximum distance. The same thing goes for SLDR fairway and Rescues, which is where our Loft Sleeve technology serves such an important purpose, by allowing you to adjust the loft 1.5° up or down to dial in their optimal launch conditions.
Visually, SLDR fairways and Rescues incorporate the same rich, charcoal-gray crown and traditional shaping as the SLDR driver. The dark crown-color contrasts beautifully with the silver-colored clubface to make it easy to align the face accurately at address .
- Improved Speed Pocket design allows further-forward CG for increased ball speed
- Exceptionally low-and-forward CG location promotes faster ball speed and lower spin
- Compact head size and shallow face for easy launch and playability from every lie
- TaylorMade loft-sleeve technology allows ±1.5° loft change
- Charcoal-gray crown and titanium-gray high-contrast face for easy alignment
- High loft options work with low-forward CG to promote high launch and long carry

- Off The Tee
I've tried just about every fairway wood on the market over the last two seasons (Ping, Taylormade, Cobra, Nike, etc). While these clubs all felt good, they all provided me with the same problem, great off the tee, tough to hit off the deck, and very difficult to hit out of the rough. So I tried the Adams Tight Lies, and while this club was much easier to hit from any lie, I lost on average 20 to 30 yards. I picked up the Taylormade SLDR this morning, and it is by far the best fairway wood I have ever swung. It's compact head feels more traditional than most of the oversized fairway woods on the market, and it made it much easier to hit off the deck and out of the rough. It was easy to work either way and still be accurate, or just bomb it dead center, which gives me a lot of confidence. And best of all, this club is a beast! I have an average swing speed at best after multiple shoulder injuries, averaging about 230-250 yards with my old fairway woods. This club has added at least 25 yards to that and it's so easy to hit I'm not trying to kill the ball anymore, resulting in fewer bad swings. Great club.

Well a brand new study on faith.
To share with you this Christmas Eve and it has some very interesting findings chief among them that.
People with no religious affiliation are now the third largest group in the world coming in just after Christians and Muslims.
Pastor Robert -- he is he pastor of the first Baptist Church in Dallas and he's also a nationally syndicated radio and television has -- -- valley.
-- Spiro is the author that pushed back -- claiming our American Judeo Christian -- spirits.
And he's also the president of caucus for American thank you both for joining us.
Thank you for happiness so first of all I would ask you that doesn't that -- surprise you that people with -- no.
Religious affiliation are now ranks third in the world.
And rabbi I'll begin with you.
Well it is surprising it's very worrisome but you know for many people especially those that are secular they've adopted a new religion -- called liberalism.
Left liberalism is providing them by an outlook and attitude towards life at it's not necessarily sourced and our Judeo Christian ethos.
And it's.
Not only for people as individuals but for the nation because -- nation needs an identity it needs a morality.
Our identity is always come from the old and new testament to Judeo Christian ethos and morality is always best.
When it is based on God's word otherwise morality can slide into moral relativism.
And Patrick -- have it has seemed that you agree.
I do agree with the rabbi.
I would take have a little bit different take on this though from what we're experiencing in our own church first Baptist Church in Dallas.
And that is that people seem to be reluctant to put a religious label on themselves.
Our church is growing tremendously right now we're getting ready to open a 130 million dollar campus on five blocks of downtown Dallas and the reason we're growing this.
We're having people from all different religious backgrounds -- Catholics Methodist Episcopalians.
And they're coming to our church because we don't emphasize being -- Baptist we don't talk about that.
We talk about being a follower of Christ and we don't teach some man made creed we teach the Bible and what I'm fighting is.
People are hungry not for religion they're hungry for -- relationship with god and I believe.
Any -- church or synagogue that offers that is going to attract.
And rabbi -- -- you you know -- tell you about the future of religion in our daily lives we look at that the news headlines that we've experienced you know the mass shooting at -- -- the shooting happening today in New York.
With the firefighters.
What do you think about the future of religion when these studies it talked about the median age you know specifically I can pull out Judy -- them.
Which has fourteen million adherents up point 2% of the entire world it has the highest median age at this point -- 36.
So what do you think -- the growth aspects there.
Well in order for to grow we have to assert the importance of religion there's more to life -- simply being a good person.
And -- religion offers you as a relationship with god and an understanding of what is right -- what is wrong.
A life without god as a diminished life in my opinion.
But I think that we need to assert this more and we've been remiss we just relied a lot on feel good as them as if that itself.
Is enough for being a good person says the feel good is that it should be replaced with why.
I think historical traditional religion which has a message what is right what is wrong about what truly is.
Our our our way to a relationship with god and that of course to make the world better but it's very important for the nation the nation was founded on -- Judeo Christian ethos which -- specific.
And it has more to do would just simply feel good is that.
And pat Patrick Jeffers we only have about 32 -- -- final word from -- Well I wouldn't say as a final words you know this tragedy in Connecticut is proof -- I believe.
What happens when we don't have that foundation that the rabbi talked about I was debating.
A beleaguered American atheist association.
And I said you know the fact that evil occurs and you care about it proves the existence of god.
Because why is it we call evil evil there's no evolutionary.
Explanation for -- it's because we've been created in the image of a god.
Who absolutely hates evil.
And I believe both the rabbi and I have the same message in this -- and that is we believe our relationship with god.
Is what gives full on this meaning and morality to life and to this holiday season thank -- -- for joining us we appreciate the message today.
Thank you thank you.

Thanos is too good of a villain to be used in anything but the LAST Avengers movie made EVER.
Thanos is too good of a villain to be used in anything but the LAST Avengers movie made EVER.
Yeah, I agree, that is more editorial's current lazy way of thinking (and of advertising) than anything else. I actually got to enjoy the original Dark Phoenix saga without getting into it in ground zero. I started reading Uncanny X-Men around 112 (when they were facing Magneto), managed to get the back issues up to 109 (Wolverine vs Weapon Alpha), but it was only years later that I maneged to get the issues with Jean Grey's transformation into Phoenix, her saving the Universe, and other early details of the story. For crying out loud, the 80's and 90's are full of fans that became lifers without being around since ground zero, and they didn't have the internet, wikipedia, Essentials, the trade market, etc.. like we do nowadays. I remember Reading at the same time Avengers (around 170), Marvel Triple Action (which was reprinting around 20) and Marvel Super-Action (which was reprinting around 65), and I never got confused, just more curious and anxious to fill out the holes in my knowledge of the team. Everything you need to know about AvsX is exaustingly being rehashed almost everywhere you look (basically, The Phoenix Force is comming to Earth, Cap belives it will destroy it, Cyclops belives it will restar the mutant gene, Hope is belived by both parties to be the host for the PF, the rest are just details. It's not rocket science, nor Shakespeare. Far from it. The way both sides are being so blatantly mischarachterized as to fit the plot, I actully think someone who doesn't have much knowledge of the MU might enjoy it more than someone who does. Honestly, I don't know where this myth that you can't enjoy a comic without knowing the whole continuity and mythology came from.
So new Sam Jackson Fury and Coulson are in 616 to hand-hold the (probably non-existent) new post-movie readers, as is Ultimate Hawkeye (or at least, his costume).
I can see a sort of logic to that thinking; people see the movie and come to the comics wanting and expecting to see the same characters, looking and acting the same as in the movie. Fair enough.
So explain how a new, post-movie reader can possibly come to New Avengers and think it's anything to do with the group in the Movie?
Why hasn't this team been swept away like Hawkeye's costume to spare the movie-going public the confusion of "where's Thor/Iron Man/Hulk/Cap/Hawkeye/Black Widow? Who the hell are these losers, and why is Wolverine, and X-man, in an Avengers book?"
Because if White Fury or Purple Hawkeye are too confusing and off-putting for new readers who come in because of the movie, New Avengers will drive them away in confused droves.
I don't know. No doubt, Thanos is a great villain. But he's not the first thing that springs to mind when I think of Avengers bad guys. Captain Marvel, Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, Cosmic Heroes... I think of Thanos as their villain (granted, the Avengers have faced him a few times, and it was always pretty much spectacular). When I think of the Avengers villains, Kang, Ultron, Zemo and the Masters of Evil, The Zodiac, the Collector, the Supreme Inteligence, all of them spring to mind before Thanos. Even Loki, though primarily a Thor villain, was responsibile for the birth of the Avengers.
Which brings me to my next controversial opinion:
The Avengers need more new villains of their own.
I mean, the last potentially great villains that were created specifically for the Avengers were Pagan, Lord Templar and Mr Tremont (okay, maybe the last one needs a "cooler" name, but he was, IMHO, intresting), during Busiek's run. I really would like to see them brought back by other writers and developed further, but I also would like to see new villains created for the Avengers. The last major ones we had, the Hood and Osborn, were brought in from other sides of the MU. I hope the new writer does something about that, and gives us a really threatening and complex villain that we can add to the ranks of Ultron, Kang or Imortus.
The Avengers movie was just ok
"You should bookmark this page so you can come back to it now and again to reminisce about your triumph, which was indeed deep and profound." - Hawkeyefan
Has there been any confirmation about that? I still place that next to the rumors of him taking over the X-Titles, but there is no doubt that Thanos will get a big push comics wise for the next movie. Honestly, I'd rather see a different kind of threat other than another outter-space invasion.
I am dead now. JK coming back to life a month later!
Thing of the naow: Please let Scott Summer die in AVX
Because new readers aren't morons and they can handle a different team with different members. Especially since there is a title with the exact team in the movie just in case. There's no need for an entirely homogenous lineup. If that's the case, then the main title, Secret Avengers and other title with "Avengers" in the title should just have the team from the movie to avoid "confusion."

If a person misses a day or week of daily entries, can they go back and enter the days they missed? It would still only be a daily entry. I cannot find it in the rules every year I search. I can see by the daily reminders for each day I missed. | |||
No, you can't go back and make up previous days. Per the website, "(limit one (1) online entry on the HGTV Website, per valid email address, per eligible person per day)." I get your point, but if you think about it, if you missed Monday & wanted to enter twice on Tuesday, that would be two entries on Tuesday, which is not permitted. My question is this: what is a "day"? That may sound silly, but does "once per day" mean once within a 24 hour period, or once per calendar day? And if it is once per calendar day, which time zone do they use? If someone enters at 10:00 pm on the west coast on Monday, even though it's technically Tuesday in the Eastern time zone, which day does it count for? | ||||
Thank you for the answer. Last year, when I missed.. I went to each daily reminder and entered and deleted. So, no your thoughts are definitely not silly. I see daily as daily especially if attached to the dated reminder. I missed all past week with a painful flu. Brain is still not working either. Thank you again. At least, I won't be disqualified this year. | ||||

I plan to start a property portal service for my local area signing up around 50 estate agents. My website is going to be built using WordPress. I will be receiving all the data for the properties from a company called XML2U.com who will supply the data in XML format.
My query is will RealPress read the xml data from XML2U.com and automatically upload the data onto my website?
Could you please kindly state the requirements I will need to make sure the process works?

Hi guys,
I wanted to ask you about the ideal dosages for a stack of H.E.A.T. and DCP. I have seen the recommended doses for both products but would it probably be better to only take 2 caps of H.E.A.T. and 4 caps of DCP for a 5 ft 2 110 lbs girl? What do you guys think, should she start with these doses and try the recommended doses later after testing here tolerances ? Thanks in advance.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Ecclesiastes - Chapter 6
Rabbi Eric Levy
The Shadow Knows
Here's something else Solomon says he has seen and has determined is just no good: often, a person has wealth and power, but G-d has not given him the ability to enjoy it (because, as in the previous chapter, the person has an insatiable desire for wealth). The result is that someone else ends up taking it all away. How futile!
If a person lived a long life and had 100 children, but he wasn't satisfied with his portion and did not receive a proper burial, it would have been better not to be born. After all, what was the point of his life? A stillborn child never even saw the sun shine, but he still had more satisfaction than the person in this example. What good is living even two thousand years if one can't be satisfied? In the end, everyone goes back into the ground. We work our whole lives to feed ourselves in this world and in the Next World, so if one was never satisfied and accumulated no merits, his time was a waste. What was the advantage of being wise if he gained nothing? What would have been the disadvantage of being poor if he wasn't satisfied anyway? This person only looked at money and not at the big picture - how meaningless!
A person cannot overpower a force greater than he - neither G-d, Who decrees a person's lot in life, nor the "angel of death," who comes to escort a person out. There are so many pursuits that waste a person's time in life, but that leave no lasting impact. Who knows the proper deeds a person should spend his life pursuing, in order to secure a place in the Next World? Life is fleeting, like a shadow, so who will tell a person what awaits him in order that he will live appropriately?

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Next man up: Evan Dietrich-Smith
Green Bay – The Packers offensive line made it half way through the season healthy enough to make every start, but all that time, backup interior lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith kept himself ready in case of emergency.
That emergency presented itself last Sunday. Dietrich-Smith was coming in for the three-tight end Jumbo package when he saw right tackle Bryan Bulaga leaving the game with a hip injury. Dietrich-Smith took over at left guard, then, as T.J. Lang shuffled down to right tackle.
"Honestly I didn't think it was that hard for us," said Dietrich-Smith. "We kind of know how it is going to roll, where as last year it was kind of thrown up in the air as who was going in if something happened.
"I think walking in that huddle - we didn't miss a beat. I think we were a little more prepared this year and the transition was a lot easier."
Dietrich-Smith himself is more prepared. He made a lot of changes to take better care of himself. He paid closer attention to nutrition, stuck with his workouts, got massages to recover faster and "cut out the outside-of-football stuff."
"I was making sure that I'm focusing on my job," he said. "You don't plan for stuff like this but you know these occasions might arise and when they do, you have to get ready and go out there and play. That was the end I wanted to hold up because I knew the mental part was not going to be a problem. Mentally I'm always ready, the mental part is never the hard part for me, I have to know so many of these spots."
Dietrich-Smith is the top backup for left and right guard and center. Bulaga was going to seek a specialtist to determine how severe the hip injury is and with him out, Dietrich-Smith's goal is to make sure there is no drop off.
"I don't want to go out there and be that guy that's like, cmon man, you've got to pick it up," he said.
The Packers return to work Monday with practice after their bye this weekend.

This is call Ndamukong Suh Karma.... EDS probably squares off against the stomper @ Detroit and beats his man - just like he did last time.
I agree. It just might mess with Suh's head, too. Voted by his peers as the dirtiest player in the NFL and all, the refs will be paying extra attention.
The thing that set it off is EDS finished off a block, something the whole line needs to do every play. I would love to see someone bait Suh into doing something stupid and get tossed.
Is there definitive word on Bulaga yet other than the speculation in the GB Press Gazette?
mums the word
Thanks Padre!
I like him. I never remember a time when he's been beaten. - (I'm not saying it hasn't happened, I'm just saying I don't remember it.)
I'd like to see Sherrod come back, because they need him.
We had two straight first round tackles and they're both out!
I think Sherrod will eventually take over the LT spot.
This is the way I'd like to see the line next year:
LT - Sherrod
LG - Lang
RG - Sitton
RT - Bulaga-
I know Sherrod is going to practice, but he has not done anything football related for almost a year. I wouldn't expect him to play this year. I guess we will see.
NJ...I agree, Newhouse may have something to say about it tho, he is one of those guys I will never count out, lets say he makes it thru this season and continues to improve and grades out well at seasons end, it MAY be tough for Sherrod to win that job early...it will be a great battle down the road...I'm assuming that EDS will be our starting C next year and Saturday probly sticks around unless we hit it big in the draft and have some youth at backup...I dont think Saturday's deal is all that costly for the second year...
I have to disagree on Newhouse. As much as he seems like a good guy and I want him to succeed, he's just not good. The coaching staff always gives him the benefit of the doubt and says he never makes the same mistake twice but I just don't see it.
Every scout that McGinn quotes before every game says Newhouse is the weak link. Even worse than Saturday. The guys first year starting for the injured Clifton was statistically the worse of any Packer tackle ever. Worse than Mandrich. You can count on him getting torched around the edge in a split second at least three times a game and he gets blown up in the run game and never finishes his blocks even though he might be the biggest lineman on the team.
Newhouse was a fifth rounder and Sherrod was a first rounder. They have different pedigree. Sherrod has the ability to be a better pass and run blocker than Newhouse; he just can't stay healthy. The Packers need to have a new LT and C next season or their o-line will continue to suck. -
While I think Sherrod will be given every chance to win the LT spot next season, I wouldn't count Newhouse out. His footwork is supposedly pretty good, I just think he lacks strength. That's something he can really work on during the off season outside of OTAs, etc. I do think, though, that TT will spend a couple of picks on the O-line. Datko is on the practice squad, too, and if he can recover from his injuries and get stronger, he would add to the mix. Next year's draft is basically going to be luxury picks for the most part, they have decent depth at almost every position, and players returning from injury.
What are our chances to draft Montee Ball next year besiders slim to none.
old66: I could see them taking Ball...why not? By the looks of it he won't go earlier than the third round but I personally don't think he'll be a very good pro. He doesn't have great speed, great quickness, and with him losing weight to get faster; great power either. He's not great in any facet of the game which makes him average at best in the pros. I actually think White has a better chance at being a change of pace back because he's so dang explosive. I could be wrong though.
displaced: Datko could be an option but like Newhouse he's very weak for an o-lineman. Actually looking at the scouting reports and combine results; Sherrod, Newhouse, and Datko all had strength listed for them as a weakness for their position. Sherrod and Newhouse were known as good pass blockers and bad run blockers, and Datko was known as a fiesty yet ugly run blocker. I'm not counting on any of them to be Rodgers blind side.
Like you said the draft will be a luxury because they already have good young depth everywhere. Maybe this is the year they trade up and get a better LT and a legitimate RB. -
Ball won't go higher than the 4th round, so I wouldn't say they have no chance. Not that he isn't a good running back, but he's too much of a tweener (not big enough to be a power back, not fast enough to be a speed back) to have a serious position in the NFL - not one that would necessitate a top 3 draft choice. In my opinion.
Let's just hope that no one else on the OL goes down before Bulaga is back. Just read where only one in 5 starters for Philly are still playing and 3 of them are out for the year, so it could be worse...much worse. Vick is averaging 18 times hitting the ground per game. Yikes!
That injury stat for Eagles isn't true. The stat might have been 1 in 5 starters haven't missed a game. Right now their injury report shows 3 guys out, and 7 guys probable.
One in 5 of last years starters are no longer starting for the Eagles.
The thing about Newhouse is he graded out really well in the combine.
If I remember correctly he was one of the leaders in the 3-cone drill.
But for a LT he is short. I heard a T.V. announcer say he is the shortest starting left tackle in the league. You wouldn't thing an inch here or there would make much difference, but sometimes it looks like ends get around him.
I think he is improving though.
As long as Sherrod makes it back, the Pack should be in good shape at that position.
(with the two of them) -
Can't wait to see how much action Sherrod gets in practice these upcoming weeks - the staff didn't seem too positive up until now - let's hope he can help out this year! "Second opinion" stuff for Bulaga is never a good sign....
Despite battling injuries all season, the Pack's roster has been resilient enough to overcome those obstacles, but I can't help feel they are one more O-line major injury away from becoming a non-factor in the playoff picture.
Your fear is shared by many.
One more injury on the OL and we are down to rookies. Ugh.
Bulaga's been having a rough year anyway, this may be addition by subtraction.
I was at the game. (only second one to my credit, but it was a treat nonetheless for me and my son which was his first). Anyway, must say the EDS was an upgrade to the running game, maybe because Lang shifted over to tackle. Saw this and gots to think the coaches did, too.

So, My Damn Channel wants us to do some type of blog thingy to kinda introduce ourselves to the people of the internet. Since we don't have any actual "fan mail" (or even "fans" for that matter), I've ripped off a few questions from a Justin Bieber fan site for us to answer. Answer these bad boys and any other questions you can think of to get this bad boy rollin'. +++++++++++++++++++ If your house was on fire and you could only take one thing with you what would it be? - Roxy, 13, Detroit JIM: Hi Roxy. Thanks for watching. I'd probably have to grab my amazing-incredible-pornography box, a.k.a. my computer. Either that or my collection of Simpsons action figures.
THOMAS: Bauer, he's the only hope any of us have for success. And you're an idiot Jim the question clearly stated one thing that you would take and you clearly listed two.
JIM: I get nervous talking to people from Detroit. She probably just wants to steal our stuff. MITCH: My depression pills. Where do you get your best love advice? - Lonely in Little Rock MITCH: My dad once told me. "never take home the three legged dog from the pound just because you feel sorry for it." That made since when I was 9 and it still does to this day. JIM: I've tried it all; tarot cards, gypsy palm readings, fortune cookies, magic 8 balls... and I found the best place for you to get your love advise... is from inside your heart :) THOMAS: I just watch what Mitch does, and it teaches me exactly what NOT to do as far as love is concerned. If you could have dinner with 3 people, dead or alive, who would it be? THOMAS: I don't really care as long as those three people are buying. And it better be some gourmet shit, if I have to go listen to three other people bore me to death I don't want to do it over a Big Mac and fries. MITCH: Bo Jackson, The Pope, and Dennis Rodman JIM: Wow Mitch, what are the odds of the Pope even responding to that evite? I'm going with Jenna Jameson, Pamela Anderson and Angelina Jolie. In their primes. Next question. How does it feel to be mobbed by screaming girls? JIM: You get used to it. THOMAS: Feels normal, they've been doing it my whole life. MITCH: Sometimes, I don't feel worthy of it all. Other times, it gets annoying having to hear all the jibber-jabber that comes along with it. Describe your dream girl. MITCH: I hear your dream girl is actually a version of your mother. So probably an annoying old bitch. JIM: My dream girl is funny, smart, nice smile, pretty eyes, caring of others, and got an ass so big you can see it from the front. THOMAS: Depends on my mood. And the season. What would a fan have to do to date you? THOMAS: Tell me their daddy was Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Jerry Bruckheimer or any such type of person, so that I can leave these clowns of TWG behind and get started on my life doing something that is actually worth a shit. JIM: Be 18 years old and have a vagina. A trust fund wouldn't hurt either. MITCH: Have you ever heard of a ballcuzzi? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? JIM: Hopefully off of unemployment and out of my parents' basement. MITCH: Cute cottage near the sea with roommates that make me breakfast and flush the toilet once in a while... or unemployed in my parents basement. THOMAS: Dating Spielberg's daughter. How do you deal with all the haters out there? MITCH: I always carry a butterfly knife I got in Baja. Can't hate when you're getting stabbed.
THOMAS: In the words of Tupac: " Fuck it. I feel like I shine. And I don't give a fuck how many white people, the Media, black people, playa haters, police, whoever, try to darken my shine, Im'a always shine through. "
JIM: Uhhhhh wait what? What would you do if all the fame went away tomorrow? JIM: If all of this fame was suddenly taken away from me, I'd probably blow my head off. MITCH: It would be a long way to fall, but I'm sure I could still pull ass so who cares. THOMAS: Be excited that I'd never have to answer stupid questions like these again. Is this really what you want us to do Jimmy? Whataya' stupid or something? How would you describe your style?
THOMAS: Lazy
JIM: Oh I dunno, maybe rural-chic with an urban twist. MITCH: Commando, Ballistic, and Fresh. How do you maintain such a hot body?
THOMAS: Layers and no AC.
MITCH: Commitment to Excellence. JIM: More like commitment to purging after every meal. I usually lift like 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.
Editor: Uh, thanks, guys! We'll all be watching you and Bauer every Tuesday at www.MyDamnChannel.com/TheWorstGeneration! And following you on Twitter at @TheWorstGen! And on Facebook at Facebook.com/TheWorstGeneration!
Otherwise we'll be avoiding Mitch and his butterfly knife.

I was told recently by the manager of a neighbouring shop that the charity shop for the Samaritans next door to him was refurbished before it opened at a cost of £50,000. I think it's disgraceful, the shop is out of the city centre, on the outskirts so depends mainly on locals or passing traffic for customers and it's in a relatively poor area too. They had two break ins recently, the first not too bad, the second, the burglar took cleaning stuff, tea, coffee and sugar from the kitchen area and rails of men's trousers, sweaters and women's sweaters, no children's stuff. The Manager said they would have to sell £7000 worth of stock to recoup the loss (I think that's what she meant) Due to publicity in the paper about the break in, people have been dropping donations of clothing etc to them to make up the stock deficiency again. |

I dont really like donating - which sounds bad, BUT the reason is that it doesnt go to people who need it (kids coats or shoes etc for example. Ive donated enough stuff and it just doesnt appear in the shop!!), I put eveything on freecycle and ok, its not immune from fraudsters but I do know that its used by many people who really need it. We've got a family of Roma travellers on my street, they dont bother anyone and are quiet but arent allowed to claim benefits (I dont want to get into the debate of whether they should or not, just saying) and they struggle. Ive given them dolls my daughter doesnt want, and outgrown clothes. They're grateful, and Im pleased the stuff has gone DIRECT to somebody. Im not daft enough to think they dont have cash in hand jobs but hey ho, we all have to do the best for our families. |

Brenda, thats really sad. I hope that gentleman can volunteer somewhere else if he wants to? I watched a programme on ch 4 about young carers, a young teenage girl looked after her blind parents and all the children and went to a carers group. She got no help and was at her wits end, it was making her start to bully her younger siblings through the stress - but she was told that she had to carry on or she didnt qualify for the carers group anymore. She told the camera about a friend who had killed herself as she couldnt cope, who was also a young carer. The work carers do is amazing and saves the state a fortune! Some people seem to be making a lot of money from the other very big well known charities..... |

The graduate assistantship program is administered by the Graduate School to provide financial support, academic training and work experience to graduate students. Appointments for assistantships are made by departments/schools for not more than four enrollment periods, based on the recommendation and approval of the Graduate School. Departmental GA's are hired by the department/school/program. These awards provide experiential learning opportunities, involvement in ongoing faculty research, instructional activities and/or administrative work. The Graduate School is notified of the department's GA selection and handles the subsequent paperwork.
In most instances, graduate assistants perform duties in the department or school to which they have been degree-admitted. In addition to the policies provided here, the department/school might have specific regulations that apply to the GA position. During the departmental orientation process, a GA should become familiar with any additional regulations and procedures governing the appointment. First-time graduate assistants are required to attend the GA Orientation held by the Graduate School at either the beginning of the Fall or Winter semesters. Check the Orientation page for more information.
Note: All GA's and Doc Fellows must complete the Sexual Harassment Training, print the certificate, sign it and send it to the Graduate School.
GAs are also eligible for the Ronald and Gerrie Collins GA Awards, presented annually at the Graduate Research Fair Reception.
