By Candice Choi and Michelle Chapman The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Campbell Soup Co. is closing two U.S. plants and cutting more than 700 jobs as it looks to trim costs amid declining consumption of its canned soups.
The world's largest soup maker said Thursday that it will close a plant in Sacramento, Calif., that has about 700 full-time workers. The plant, which makes soups, sauces and beverages, was built in 1947 and is the company's oldest in the country. That also means it has the highest production costs of Campbell's four U.S. soup plants.
The company said it plans to shift most of Sacramento's production to Campbell's remaining plants in Maxton, N.C.; Napoleon, Ohio; and Paris, Texas.
Campbell also plans to shutter a spice plant in South Plainfield, N.J. that has 27 employees. Production will be shifted to the company's other spice plant in Milwaukee.
Employees at the two closing plants were notified that there would be a meeting at 6 a.m. local time Thursday; about 400 workers showed up in California, where they were told of the closure.
"It's always difficult, even when there's a business case that is compelling," said Anthony Sanzio, a Campbell spokesman. "You're dealing with people, and this is going to impact 700 employees who've worked together closely for many years."
CEO Denise Morrison, who has been on the job for about a year, was not present at the meeting.
The announcement comes as Campbell looks to freshen up its image with dozens of new soup flavors and sauces intended to lure younger consumers. Many of the new products come in pouches designed to convey a fresher feel, rather than the iconic steel cans that have long defined the company.
Although Campbell makes other products such as Pepperidge Farm baked goods and V8 vegetable juices, soups account for half its revenue. And the Camden, N.J.-based company has struggled to fix the soup unit amid evolving consumer tastes.
Over the past decade, overall canned soup consumption is down 13 percent, according to the research firm Euromonitor International, as fresh soups have become more widely available at supermarkets and restaurants. Campbell's share of the market has also declined to 53 percent, down from 67 percent a decade earlier.
The company expects the plant closings to result in about $115 million in pre-tax costs. Its actions will also require about $27 million in capital spending.
Annual savings are predicted to be about $30 million starting in fiscal 2016.

Just a first impressions review for now, since I just got this delivered today.
I love the Plum Crazy lower! I mounted it to my other AR a couple weeks ago for some firing. It has a great single-stage trigger and fits very tightly on all 3 of my various uppers. At first it didn't seem too much lighter than my other lowers, but the more I handle it I am inclined to change that opinion. Not sure of actual weight of the thing.
Midway had a deal on the DMPS Sportical upper with light contour bbl that I couldn't pass up. Just got it today and fitted it to the PC lower. This AR is for my little wife, so the combination works great being really light weight. Again, no scales, but it is noticeably lighter fully assembled than my 10.5" SBR.
The sportical upper came complete with a BCG and charge handle, but no sights. I had a cheap little reflex dot sight I put on it for now. It doesn't have a forward assist or dust cover, so I guess she can't take it into combat in the sand. I am interested to see how it spits the brass out without a deflector.
Plans are to get it just how she likes it with optics/accessories, and then it's getting duracoated pink camo.
Will report back after I have shot it to see how the DPMS upper handles.

text: Bendler, Gulyaev and Tolokonina are Ice Climbing big winners 08 Feb 2009 Markus Bendler, Maria Tolokonina and Pavel Gulyaev were the big winners of the 2009 Ice Climbing season. Tolokonina from Russia ranked first in both the Women's Speed and Lead disciplines after winning five out of six competitions. The Ice Climbing World Cup 2009 ended with the finals taking place in Busteni, Romania, from February 6-8. The other World Cup events were held in Daone, Italy; Mojstrana, Slovenia and Saas Fee, Switzerland. In the Lead discipline however, five nations were represented on the winners' podium. In second place in the Lead category was Angelika Rainer from Italy, who won gold at the World Championships in Saas Fee, while Stephanie Maureau, France, secured third place. Following Bendler in the Men's overall ranking were Hee Yong Park from the Republic of Korea and Alexey Tomilov from Russia, all three improving their ranking on the 2008 season. The Busteni finals attracted between 2000-3000 spectators, who were impressed by the athletes' performances. Because of the warm weather, the Lead competitions took place on dry structures, while the Speed athletes competed on a modified structure with a new refrigeration system. This kept the ice in good condition, even though the air temperatures were between 5-7 degrees Celsius. |

It was a good first day of the year. I fetched a young ABC scholar just off the bus from the long vacation and brought him and his two 'brothers' to Anna's Taqueria for burritos. Then they helped David carry a desk ask alarge as an elephant down three flights of stairs in our house, bound for our daughter Annie's place after 'living' here for 20-plus years.
I remember carrying this desk UP all those stairs, in 1991, with only one skinny teenager to help me.
"We had to saw off one of its legs," I told David as we anticipated this job . His take on things? That the skinny teen and I must have approached the task the wrong way back in the 90s. So imagine my satisfaction today, when, after turning it every which way, all four of these guys concluded simultaneously that the thing couldn't POSSIBLY fit out the door of the room it was in… Unless we cut one of its leg off.
Then things got easier, boy. We found the old cut, applied a hacksaw to it, got the leg off and got that desk DOWN the stairs. Well, they did that part while I hustled outside and commanded the five rear seats in my minivan to lie down flat. The next thing you knew the desk was in there.
Getting that major task done AND being thus vindicated felt great – but not as good as what happened to me as with these three guys I sat over my burrito at Anna's:
A woman stopped at our table on her way toward the door. Her shining face as she leaned down to me made me reach up and take her hand.
"Can I ask you something?" she said.
"Sure!!" I replied.
"Were you once a teacher at Somerville High?"
"Yes I was!" I happily admitted and then she told me her name and like magic there she suddenly was in my mind as her 16-year-old self.
She gestured then toward the three young men and asked if they were my sons.
A dozen answers came to my lips but the one I finally came out with felt the most honest:
""They're the sons of my heart, " I said.
And when I think of the things they do for me, like today's Herculean task, and of all the hours we have spent together talking, and how many of their papers and essays I have looked at, eyes peeled for the run-on-sentence, the pronoun that doesn't agree with its antecedent, the pitfalls you risk falling into with too many adverbs, I realize that they really ARE the sons of my heart, and am so proud that this lovely woman took them for mine.
Here they are now, Tobi Omola, Enderson Naar and Rayvoughn Millings. What great things they will do in the world one day! What great weight they mean to one day carry!

While the Lady Hounds picked it up at the offensive end Saturday, their defense faltered in a 57-47 loss to Platte City in the fifth place game of Savannah Invitational.
Maryville (0-3) nearly doubled its previous season-high point total, but also gave up the most points it had all year.
Platte City (1-3) put up 21 third quarter points, swinging a one-point halftime deficit into an eight-point lead. The Lady Hounds had their lowest scoring quarter in the fourth with nine points, preventing a comeback opportunity.
Platte City's Kristen Clemens led all scorers with 19 points, all coming in the first three quarters. Mickey Trimble produced 11 of her 12 points during the third quarter and hit a pair of 3-pointers.
Maryville received a season-high 17 points from junior guard Chelsea Byland who connected on three, 3-pointers. Blair Twaddle finished with 13 points. Ann Coleman and Gabby Church each had six.
Both teams struggled at the free throw line, with Maryville making 11-22 (50 percent) and Platte City at 22-40 (55 percent).
The Hounds are back in action Tuesday night to take on Savannah Invitational Tournament champion Lafayette in St. Joseph.
Lafayette beat Maryville in semifinals 37-24 Thursday night.

Enterprise Computing: Why Thin Provisioning Is Not The Holy Grail for Utilisation
- Secure Defrag. As defragmentation products re-allocate blocks, they should write binary zeros to the released space. Although this is time consuming, it would ensure deleted space could be reclaimed by the array.
- Freespace Consolidation. File system free space is usually tracked by maintaining a chain of freespace blocks. Some defragmentation tools can consolidate this chain. It would be an easy fix to simply write binary zeros over each block as it is consolidated up.
One alternative solution from Symantec is to use their Volume Manager software, which is now "Thin Aware". I'm slightly skeptical about this as a solution as it places requirements on the operating system to deploy software or patches just to make storage operate efficiently. It takes me back to Iceberg and IXFP….
So in summary, Thin Provisioning can be a Good Thing, however over time, it will lose its shine. We need fixes that allow deleted blocks of data to be consolidated and returned to the storage array for re-use. Then TP will deliver on what it promises.
Incidentally, I'm surprised HDS haven't made more noise about Zero Page Reclaim. It's a TP feature that to my knowledge EMC haven't got on DMX or V-Max.
One interesting note: You mention that NTFS defaults to 4k blocks. Operationally, I usually recommend that customers format with 16k blocks explictly because that is the best size when using the Volume Shadowcopy Service (VSS) alongside defragging. If you use 4k blocks and defrag the volume, VSS tracks those changes and overextends its quota, resulting in snapshots being pared away too soon. I just thought that was interesting because of the 3Par choice of TP block sizes. I suspect they see better TP performance and utilization over the long term with Windows file servers than the others, in a well-managed environment.
bill bloom
Although I am a solutions consultant for HDS, I am not privy to the algorithmic implementation of HDS products and rely on user manuals just as everyone else relies upon. So with that in mind, my limited knowledge brings me to the conslusion that the wasted space of the 42MB chunk size and Windows I/O size of 4KB doesn't really have the same waste impact that FAT LUNs have produced. While I agree that it will get worse over time, I do not think it will ever get to the same wastage that DP brings to the table. I like your lively discussion and found it a very interesting read. It is unfortunate that the drawings that you included could not be brought up to a size where they could be read though.
You are also right in that HDS has not focused on the Zero Data Reclaim feature. This is huge and I do speak to it in certain circles. With management customers, I tend not to discuss this in detail because they usually glaze over (especially in the Federal Government space)!!!
Thaks for taking the time to write about this topic, it is appreciated!

the problems you describe are real.
Personally I think that if you're not doing 4K block thin provisioning, it's not thin provisioning but pudgy provisioning.
As for fragmentation, that's only a problem if you're array is not optimized to handle a different disk layout from your client view of the layout.
For systems like WAFL and other Better Than Real Fibre Channel Arrays, the fragmentation issue is a solved problem.
The real problem, for Real Fibre Channel Arrays aka Traditional Legacy Arrays, is that they are simply not architected to deal with thin provisioning and so try to come up with approximations to the real solution.

A friend (not Bill) pointed out your blog entry. It's a good writeup. I too work for HDS. Thanks for the mention of Zero Page Reclaim, as to why we don't make more of it… you know we are often known as a stealth marketing company…
With respect to filesystems, a point of interest you didn't mention is the differences in filesystem behaviour in reallocating storage over time. Some existing filesystems are 'thin friendly' and already favour reuse of discarded space, some march forward, always using new. The first is thin friendly, the second not. Examples of thin friendly filesystem include VxFS, NTFS and ZFS. An unfriendly one – Solaris UFS.
In moving to use of thin provisioning, our Zero Page Reclaim feature is a good first step with potentially large rewards through moving existing fat volumes to thin and reclaiming unused space. Particularly if that space has never been written to – a common circumstance in many environments. Significant deferrals of storage purchases can be had (found money).
And in the near future, with regard to Fixing the Problem, the path is as you suggest to a better ongoing operational reclamation process. For example Symantec not only is 'thin aware' they have an initiative to provide an interface in VERITAS Storage Foundation suite which can be used to enable communication between the file system and a thin provisioning capable array. This will provide a mechanism to allow the thin aware file system to notify the array which pages on a thinly provisioned LUN or volume do not have valid data (this enables them to more readily implement things like the ideas you suggest). The array can then safely disassociate the page from a thinly provisioned LUN/volume and make it available for re-use.
Independently the INCITS T10 committee on SCSII storage interfaces has also been including similar ideas into proposals likely to be adopted over time by file systems, databases, and storage vendors.
Something you did not mention were two other significant benefits of thin provisioning – both storage management related. The first is that that it provides a much more agile way of provisioning storage, in exactly the same way VMware gives you agility in creating new Virtual Machines. To create a new volume can be done from the virtualization pool without having to add storage. The act of storage provisioning to an application, and adding physical storage to the box have been decoupled. Actual physical storage is added asynchronously without affecting applications. The second benefit is the automatic optimization that can happen if the thin provisioning implementation is smart and automatically load balances among all the spindles in the pool.
Dale Clutterbuck
I have recently been toying with HDP and I have found TP very iffy. None of the file systems I have tried were particularly "thin friendly". TP seems to be best used for things like Oracle, MS SQL and VMWare. Really anything that creates big files that rarely get shifted around.
Where I have found DP useful is its other features: load smoothing, simpler provisioning, performance. I am still testing but this seems to really suit our VMWare environment.
Take notice that you can also "win" back capacity on vmware:
After you have migrated virtual hosts to vmware, do zero page reclaim and there are good chances that you will gain back some capacity which has been formatted by the vmware virtual host (windows)…
Zero page reclaim with DP really is good…
Mileage definitely varies dependent on the file systems. Many file systems write meta data through out the LUN causing high allocation of pages even when actual data is minimal.
For the sake of conversation, I just wanted to note a few things about IBM's XIV system, which operates on 1MB chunks…
Similar to HDS' Zero Page Reclaim feature, it reclaims emptied space, but via an automated background scrubbing mechanism. Also, I believe it is unique (I could be wrong) that the XIV does not allocate any capacity in the first place, if the filesystem writes a long string of zeroes. HDS, in contrast, would write the zeroes and consume the space until you initiate the Zero Page Reclaim operation. XIV would have never written those zeroes to begin with. This is perhaps a small but interesting difference…
The XIV also solves two of your other potential objections to thin provisioning – performance and protection from rogue hosts writing lots of data.
Of course, every volume on an XIV system is striped across every disk in the entire system, thereby eliminating any potential performance impact caused by thin provisioning. XIV also has the concept of Storage Pools, which are nothing more than logical constructs. You can run thin provisioned volumes in one pool, and fat volumes in another pool if you like….and you can ensure that that volumes in one pool are never affected by rogue volumes in another pool. To take it a step further, XIV also has a logical way to deal with the problem of depleted capacity in a pool. Before taking the drastic step of locking all volumes in the pool from any further write activity, it can methodically (based on priority and creation time) start deleting snapshots in order to free up additional space in the pool. Not sure how the other systems mentioned would handle this…?
It seems that the T10/T13 support for the TRIM and Punch commands are intended to address this very issue. When doing a delete, the filesystem can send a list of blocks down to the storage device rather than sending SCSI writes with a bunch of zeros. My understanding is that MS Windows 7 has NTFS support for the TRIM command. This still doesn't solve the mismatch of filesystem and storage subsystem block sizes.
Interesting article, but what is even more interesting is the poll at the top right of the screen. EMC is regarded as being one of the worst when it comes to storage management, I have no clue how it got 37% and 1st place. The only reason I can see how is because the poll wasn't very fair. The vendors with excellent management such as Sun or Equallogic (now Dell) weren't even on the list. For those that have used Sun and Dell storage management will know that they are far superior that that of EMC. I would like to see the poll redone with EMC, Dell Equallogic, Sun, and NetApp.
I know this doesn't relate to the article but I felt like adding my 10 cents anyway
Pingback: Enterprise Computing: So EMC, Where's Your Thin Persistence? « The Storage Architect
Unfortunately the Thin provisioning suppliers can only fix so much of the problem. For a complete solution you need a host based environment which is designed to work with Thin storage and currently the vast majority of host VM/FS products are not designed to work with thin storage.
Take 0 page reclamation, its effectiveness is limited to the point at which data is migrated into thin. Once the migration is complete 0 page has very little use because filesystems typically do not write blocks full of nulls, this is not for example what happens when a file is deleted.
In addition any filesystem fragmentation or striping of metadata across volumes will reduce utilization unless the TP system uses very small block sizes.
With most current filesystems the point of maximum effectiveness from a TP perspective is when the data has been migrated into TP assuming 0 page reclamation or if you have used Symantec Smartmove. After that point it is inevitable that blocks which do not contain nulls but which are not being used by the filesystem will build up, the proportion of these to the used blocks depends on how efficient the FS is at optimizing its layout and the workload.
inevitably you need a mechanism which can recover blocks which do not contain nulls but which are not used by the filesystem. this is not 0 page and needs to be implemented at the host level with support from the TP system.
Recent experience with IBM XIV thin provisioning is that it does not work as SRJ explains. The 1MB chunk extent is misleading.
If you write 1KB of data in an empty XIV volume, 17GB of hard capacity is automatically reserved for that volume, even if it's thinly provisioned. You can provision by number of blocks on the XIV, which limits what the host can actually see, but chunks of storage are allocated to the volume in 17GB chunks.
The biggest downside I've noticed with XIV thin provisioning is you can't even allocate more logical volume capacity than a fully-loaded XIV can physically handle!
http://www.brookend.com Chris Evans
I think the XIV array needs a good deep dive to answer the questions you pose and many others I have too around the RAID reliability and rebuild. Watch this space, I'm trying to sort something.

Thanks for the pointer on VSS. I'll have to do post on that at some stage. So, you're right, with a more granular block size, 3Par will be better positioned to more efficiently reclaim.
Chris Evans
Bill, so is DP a free licensed offering? I don't believe it is. How much does it add to the per TB cost of storage? Clearly there's a cutoff point where the additional cost of DP negates its value. However my point on referencing the block size was to highlight the greater impact on recovery having a larger array chunk size would cause. I do agree with you though. There's clear merit in deploying DP over fat volumes.
Chris Evans
Agreed – I've been thinking how a tool could be written to scan a host and indicate how much data would be recovered with TP and Zero Page Reclaim.
Chris Evans
Good point, thanks. I think storage on VMware (especially the TP aspect) is definitely an idea for another post.
Chris Evans
Good feedback, thanks for the comment.
Chris Evans
Thanks for all the additional comments. As I wrote the post I think I was up to 1000+ words. Unfortunately some text has to get chopped and I did abbreviate in places. Thanks for the additional comments, I am planning to write more of a White Paper for TP; I'll be sure to add your thoughts.

Fair Hill NRMA
Fair Hill is a 5,656 acre Natural Resources Management Area, where multiple management practices are employed for the maximum use and protection of Maryland's natural resources. Bordered by Pennsylvania to the north and less than one half mile west of Delaware, Fair Hill is known for its pristine fields, woodlands and natural beauty.
At one time one of the largest private land holdings in the East, Fair Hill was formerly owned by William duPont, Jr., an avid equestrian who acquired the farmland as a means to enjoying riding as well as fox chasing. Fair Hill was purchased by the state in 1975 from Mr. duPont's estate.
Fair Hill's attractions include the turf course, where steeplechase, timber course and flat races are held Memorial Day weekend with pari-mutuel wagering (www.fairhillraces.org). A pavilion is situated near the historic, rustic covered bridge where visitors frequently stop for picnic lunches. The fairgrounds host the annual Cecil County Fair where some 80,000 visitors attend the weeklong event (www.cecilcountyfair.org). Also located at the fairgrounds is the Edward L. Walls Activity Hall, with a capacity of 350 people. It includes kitchen and restroom facilities, and is available to rent for functions which further the mission of the Department of Natural Resources, Maryland Park Service or the local agricultural community. The Tea Barn, located at the west end of Fair Hill Drive, is a popular venue for weddings and birthday parties. It has a capacity of 125 people.
Fair Hill is open dawn to dusk.
- Foxcatcher Farm Covered Bridge, over Big Elk Creek, is situated near the Fair Hill Nature and Environmental Center on Tawes Drive. It was constructed in 1860 for the Cecil County Commissioners, at a cost of $1,165. In 1994, the bridge received the State's Historic Civil Engineering Landmark Award. The covered bridge at Fair Hill is one of only two covered bridges in Cecil County.
- Anglers can test their skills on Big Elk Creek, which is a stocked, put-and-take trout stream and travels the entire length of the Fair Hill property.

You may call the Graduate Admissions office to check on the status of your file if you have not received a letter. Do not wait for the application deadline to be near in order to assess the status of your application!
The Graduate Admissions Office: 1866-GRAD-HOF (472-3463).
How many openings are in a given class of students and how many apply?
Currently, we are planning to accept a class of 14 students. Typically we receive between 200-225 applications annually.
I already have graduate credits (or a graduate degree) in psychology. Are any credits transferable?
The Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology is a very specialized program and does not lightly grant waivers of course work considered central to professional training. If found appropriate by the program faculty, students may receive elective credit for equivalent courses taken elsewhere. Evidence of the past course work must be presented and be found to be substantially equivalent to courses in the program . Students may be granted up to maximum of 20% of their past graduate credits and no more than 12 transfer credits. Most admitted students possessing a master's degree will receive 6 credits maximum. Additionally, courses must have been taken no more than eight years prior to beginning at Hofstra, and must have been completed with a grade of B or better. Each transcript is individually evaluated.
How many credits and how much time does it take to complete the program?
The program is full-time and requires the completion of 105 credits with a cumulative grade point average of B or better. The Ph.D. program is a minimum of four years of full-time study and an internship year. The program will take between five to seven years depending upon a doctoral student's personal progress on internship and the dissertation.
Is it possible to attend the Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology part-time?
No. This is a full time program . As shown elsewhere on this site, the program of study calls for full-time study consisting of course work, practica and externship to be taken each semester for the first four years of study. A summer course is required after the first year. Fifth year students and beyond will work on completing their dissertation and clinical internship. This is a rigorous program.
Is it possible to take courses on a non-matriculated basis?
No. We offer a comprehensive program of professional study only open to full-time, matriculated students.
May I enroll in your Program for only a Master's Degree?
A terminal Master's Degree is not offered in the Program. A Master's is awarded as part of the Full-Time study towards a Ph.D.
Is the program APA accredited?
Yes, the program has been fully accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1973.
Is financial assistance available?
Financial assistance is available to graduate students in a number of formats including scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, awards, etc. After you have been accepted and have sent in a deposit, you can write a letter to the Director of the program requesting an assistantship. There are a number of assistantships awarded including two full tuition scholarships for the first year. The assistantships are normally awarded for two years. See the section of our web site on financial aid for greater detail.
What is the theoretical orientation of the program?
As described elsewhere on this web site, the Ph.D. Program in Clinical Psychology is a behaviorally based Scientist-Practitioner (Boulder model) program. We teach the spectrum of Behavior Therapy including techniques like Applied Behavior Analysis, Systematic Desensitization, Exposure (Flooding and Implosive Therapies), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Therapy. Our Empirical work is guided by the same theoretical base.

Boston Bombing Suspects Recall Home-Grown Terrorists in Madrid, London Attacks
by Sebastian Rotella, ProPublica, April 19, 2013
As an eighth-grader in a Cambridge public school, suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was quiet, friendly, spoke good English and seemed at home in his adopted country.
While hundreds of police officers pursued the 19-year-old during a nationally-televised rampage across Boston Friday, a former classmate recounted memories of the refugee who, according to counterterror officials, became a U.S. citizen on an ironic date: Sept. 11, 2012.
The story of the Boston bombers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, is still unfolding at high speed. Many aspects of the case, including the brothers' motivations, are not yet clear.
But a portrait began to emerge Friday based on ProPublica interviews with counterterror officials, the public statements of relatives and associates, and reports in the media.
Counterterror officials believe the brothers were Islamic extremists. And the information available so far suggests that they appeared to integrate well into U.S. society, yet slid into a spiral of Islamic radicalization with bloody results. The profile has similarities to the home-grown terrorists behind attacks in Madrid in 2004 and London in 2005, according to counterterror officials.
"He was always a nice kid," said Cam Blauchner, who attended middle school with Dzhokhar, in a telephone interview with ProPublica. "He was shy, but not in a creepy way. He was a sweet guy. We played soccer together. I knew he was from Chechnya, but he never talked about it. He never mentioned his religious affiliation. I didn't know he was Muslim."
At some point, however, Dzhokhar and his brother plunged into a subculture that is grimly familiar to counterterror agencies in Europe and, to a lesser but worrisome extent, the United States, officials said.
There are signs that the brothers showed interest in the conflict in Syria, which has drawn al Qaida fighters and other militants from across the Muslim world and Europe, according to a U.S. counterterror official. Like others interviewed for this story, the official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the ongoing case.
The brothers had viewed videos about the plight of Syrian Muslims, the official said. Syria is the latest hotspot on the world map of jihad. Holy warriors a decade ago were inspired by videos about brutal combat between jihadis and Russian troops in the brothers' family homeland: the predominantly Muslim region of Chechnya, a breeding ground for al Qaida fighters in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Report: Joe Haden Missing For Thanksgiving Morning Meetings
Joe Haden, who has taken a lot of heat this year for his mistake that lead to a 4 game suspension (reported here first) and most recently for being seen "out all night" during the week in which he was battling an injury, is at it again.
He ultimately pulled himself out of that game last week against the Cowboys too, by the way.
Today, the Browns' meetings started at 7:15 AM. At the time of this post, Haden has still not arrived at the facility in Berea according to reports. Keep in mind, practice begins at 10 AM...
As a side note, Greg Little was significantly late for the meetings as well, but he ultimately showed up.
If these reports are accurate, and they've never been wrong, I honestly don't understand how the team allows this behavior to persist. And, oh by the way, it's Steelers week... and the team is 2-8!
As we approach the beginning of practice, I'll keep you posted when I hear when and if he actually decides to grace the team with his presence. I suppose it's possible the coaches are aware and this is an excused absence, but given the fact that no one else in the facility seems to know anything about where he is, I doubt it.
**UPDATE** 10:38 AM - I was just told that Haden showed up about 15 minutes ago. 3 hours or so late for the day, and significantly late for the special teams part of practice.

MONTREAL - Gordon Thompson is in better shape than most men half his age.
And I mean I know men half his age who would love to be as sharp and fit as he is.
Thompson, a former Air Force lieutenant and Air Canada retiree who will be 91 in September, curls on average four times a week and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.
In fact, now that the curling season is drawing to a close, he'll be gearing up to golf three times a week, and he walks 18 holes each time.
"Carts are for sissies," he told me with a laugh. "Walking is the best."
Thompson credits curling (and golf!) with keeping him in such great shape.
He has been doing both since the age of 14.
Thompson was born and raised in a suburb of Winnipeg. At the time, there was a "two sheet" curling club across the street from his school.
"In those days, curlers had to buy their own rocks and they were expensive," he told me in conversation last week. "We were lucky because the guys would loan us the rocks in order to practise."
Thompson loved the sport.
And he would spend the next 75 years playing across the country.
"Air Canada was wonderful because I would get to fly to play in different bonspiels," he proudly explained. "I've collected trophies from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Halifax — you name it."
Thompson was a founding member of the St. Laurent Curling Club in 1965 and changed clubs only years later when it folded.
"We had to find a home for 200 members, so we ended up at the Town of Mount Royal Curling Club," where he has been ever since.
"Sure, there are clubs closer to home, but I don't want to change clubs, its my home away from home."
Coincidentally, Thompson also began caddying at the age of 14 as well
"There was a golf club, The St. Charles Country Club, that was just down the road and I would hike there every day to caddy — I loved it. And they had 27 holes then, and the equipment wasn't small or light in those days," he said with a chuckle.
Thompson said great friendships have been born out of both loves.
"You either love it or you don't," he said of curling. "But I've made some great friends doing both sports."
Even his wife, Mary, has taken it up. "And she's pretty darn good, too" he said.
Mary said it's "quite something" to watch her husband "slide down the ice like a young kid at 90 years of age."
They are an adorable couple.
Mary said she thinks one of the reasons her husband stays so trim is because he "chews and he chews and he chews his food."
"I'm always the last one at the table," Thompson said. "I have always eaten very slowly — always."
And small portions. "I never overdo it," he said. "Everything in moderation."
Which includes one gin and tonic nightly and a glass or two of red wine.
"It's good for you."
And sweets. "We always eat very healthy," said Mary. "But Gordon has to finish a meal with something sweet."
Thompson loves to work in his garden.
"I just don't like to ask him to go up ladders anymore, that kind of thing," Mary said, "but he does everything else around the house and in the garden."
But it always comes back to curling, with Thompson as an ambassador. "It's such a terrific sport," he went on. "It would be so great for younger generations to get involved and to enjoy it."
Not an easy feat in what he calls a hockey town.
"You don't hear that much about curling — we have to change that," he added.
Thompson said he is asked over and over how he does it — he doesn't have a single illness or take a medication of any kind.
His words of advice?
"I don't understand couch potatoes. Just keep moving. Get up and do something, anything, just move."
And curl. Or golf!

- Boulder County, Broomfield agencies send trucks, firefighters to High Park Fire
With the High Park Fire burning in Larimer County and local officials enacting strict burn bans in the face of fire danger, some Boulder County cities and towns are reconsidering their Fourth of July fireworks this year.
Boulder officials said Tuesday that a permit is in place for the city's annual fireworks display at Folsom Field on the Fourth of July, but that doesn't guarantee the show will take place.
"There is language in that permit that allows the fire marshal to make a decision based on weather conditions," city spokesman Patrick von Keyserling said. "He will monitor the area for dryness and fire potential. Ultimately, it will be a safety call ... ."
The city scrapped its display in 2002 in favor of a laser show amid similar fire conditions.
Boulder Fire Marshal Dave Lowrey said he's confident right now that areas near Folsom Field are still green and moist enough. He said he would know by June 29 whether to give final approval for the fireworks show, giving him two more weeks to observe conditions and forecasts.
"We don't have extreme conditions right now within the city," Lowrey said. "If we hit an area where it just starts to dry and continues to dry, dry, dry, certainly, we'll want to look at that."
Officials in Louisville will be discussing fire conditions and the city's fireworks at a meeting Thursday, said Polly Boyd, executive assistant to City Manager Malcolm Fleming. The city is scheduled to hold its display at the Coal Creek Golf Course, and the decision to cancel the fireworks would be Fleming's, Boyd said.
Pat Vero, special events coordinator for the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, is organizing the city's Fourth of July fireworks display, planned for the banks of Waneka Lake.
Vero said that with the lake nearby and the Lafayette Fire Department keeping an on eye on the display, there's not a safety risk. She said she sent several emails to Gov. John Hickenlooper lobbying him to allow Lafayette to hold its annual show after he made a public comment about a possible statewide fireworks ban.
"He had made a statement that the local fireworks may be banned, and we just weren't sure, so I wanted to go ahead and be proactive," she said.
Mountain towns in western Boulder County are at particular risk of wildfires, and Jamestown Mayor Tara Schoedinger said her town has decided against holding a fireworks display this year. The rest of the town's holiday celebration will go on as planneed.
The Nederland Area Chamber of Commerce website on Tuesday advertised a Fourth of July fireworks display to be held alongside Barker Reservoir. A Facebook page dedicated to raising money for the $15,000 display didn't indicate a change of plans.
Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle has expanded a fire ban on unincorporated county land to include all open burning, including campfires, charcoal grills, agricultural burning, welding, slash piles and fireworks. He made it clear Tuesday that he doesn't think fireworks displays in the foothills are a good idea this year.
"I think it would be silly for any mountain community to do fireworks this year," Pelle said.

Flutter By Wednesday #59- Flutter By Anya
The featured team member this week is the ever so sweet and talented Harriet. Harriet just recently had surgery and she never missed a beat when it came to these challenges. I so admire her tenacity and dedication!! She does not have a blog but she links all her creations on SC for you to see. You can find all her amazing creations here. Please leave her some love.
This weeks challenge is to use a butterfly or fairy and brads or eyelets on your card. If you don't have any brads or eyelets, that is o.k., just make a card with a butterfly or fairy. If you do make a card or project, please link it to Mr. Linky here on Danni's blog or use the keyword FBW if uploading to PCP or SC. This week I decided that it was time to order and ink up my first Anya image. I have so admired my oh so talented and sweet friend Janna's and so many other blogging friends Greeting Farm images so I thought it was time to get in on the fun too. I used Flutter By Anya which I purchased from the Greeting Farm. Isn't she adorable!!! Who could resist such a darling image. (yes I am still justifying purchasing yet another stamp! Tee hee!) I used yesterday's color challenge CC220 to incorporate Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, and So Saffron. I also cased this card for the layout from this week's featured stamper challenge FS120, Mercy, at SC ( www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1288595?cat=500&ppuser=77686 ). I changed the colors, dp, image, sentiment and added different details to make it my own. The image is watercolored and layered on dimensionals. The butterflies are punched using the classic butterfly punch from Martha Stewart. The sentiment is from small SU's Small Sayings set.
Card Recipe
Stamps: Greeting Farm- Flutter By Anya

Merlove DVD Released, Celebrated With Merlot Tasting
When Miles screamed about not drinking any "#$%@ing Merlot" in the movie Sideways, it started a push toward Pinot Noir and the beginning of California Merlot's fight for its reputation. The battle still continues and Producer/Director Rudolf N. McClain has just released the DVD of his film Merlove. On the cover is a quote from Wine Spectator that says simply: "Take this, Miles."
"Merlove is a documentary I wanted to make in response to the movie Sideways," explains McClain. The movie was filmed in the Napa Valley, Washington State and Bordeaux and combines documentary style filmmaking with an animation subplot centered on a bottle of Merlot wine named "Merlove" which must find a way to fill itself with love when aimlessly tossed into the ocean of mediocre Merlot wine. The DVD contains new animated sequences, music, digital mastering and a director's commentary. The movie Merlove premiered on June 27, 2008 and has been screened at film festivals around the world.
McClain will be on hand to sign copies in the tasting room at V. Sattui Winery on November 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.. The winery is located at 1111 White Lane off Highway 29 just south of St. Helena. The DVD sells for $24.99. At the event you can show your support for Merlot by indulging in a free tasting of the winery's two Merlots, the 2006 Henry Ranch (Carneros appellation) and 2006 Napa Valley.

The GUI still says Codine and everything still works just like DQS, more or less. I haven't had the chance to try it out with an mpi prog yet but I'd imagine it'd just be the same as DQS. FWIW.
