Worst lawn mower I've ever owned, Control cable broke within the first 4 months, will hardly pull itself if the grass is very deep, and does a bad job of cutting grass cleanly. It just seams to tear the grass like the blade is really dull even though this is a new mower.

Mower seemed great at first, then the problems began. First after about 4 uses, screws worked loose on transmission housing that held drive pulley so no self- propell. Fixed that with screws found in toolbox and used loctite. Been working for 3 months now. Now control cable snapped while using and engine stopped. Ordered new cable for $28. Warranty would have fixed these problems if willing to wait 3-4 weeks for each problem. Worst mower I ever owned. Poor build quality!

My first new mower in 12 years, what a difference a decade makes. Easy to assemble, much lighter easy to start and quieter. Yes, the My Stride takes some getting used to and it's a little tricky on hills, but I can live with that. We'll see how it holds up from a durability perspective.

Just got mine, easy set up, just adjust the handle and assemble the grass catcher, fill it with oil and gas and you are on your way. I have a average size lot with full St, Augustine grass. I do not bag my clipping and was concern about the mulching ability. It handled the 4 inch grass blades without any problems. The performance was outstanding. The walk behind accelerator was easy to get use to after a few a laps. If your are considering a lawn mover? This one has all the bells and whistles with the exception of a key start at a great price.

After reading the reviews decided on this model. My lawn has a gentle slope. Works great going up hill, has plenty of power in tall grass using the exhaust shout. Mulches well in the shorter grass. The rear wheel drive and large wheels make mowing a breeze.

The "My Stride" function was nearly impossible to control when I first tried out this mower. The problem is that there is no resistance on the speed control bar when you go forward, so it jerks & stops, over & over. I fixed the problem by using a bungee cord attached to the pull-start bracket, running under the bottom handle and attached to the red speed control handle. Gives good resistance to pushing forward, and does not hinder stopping.

I had a craftsman mower for 13 years before I finally gave in a bought a new one. After the initial period of getting used to the way this My Stride mower handles, I would say it is the best mower I ever used. Cuts beautiful and inclines were no problem. I bought this in April and took it to the Sears repair shop in July only to find out it needs a new transmission and a gear case and a carburetor clean out... And on top of that, I won't get the mower back for almost 4 weeks! I did purchase an extended warranty, but this repair is covered under the original warranty. I have spoken to no less than 6 Sears/sears.com/sears repair center employees today only to find out that I will be stuck with a 3 month old "refurbished" My Stride mower. They will not replace the mower if they can fix it. I have never had a transmission go in any mower I have ever used. Obviously, this mower is a lemon. That being said, I am sure I will eventually get my money back from using my extended warranty over and over and over again the next 3 years if this is they way this all started. I am very disappointed in the way Sears is standing behind this product.
Minnetonka, MN

I recently bought a Craftsmen "My Stride" mower. The handle was very comfortable, but as you mow, the handle (that controls speed) naturally moves back and forth a little, so the mower speeds up and slows down all the time. This happens on slightly rough terrain, hills, and around tight curves - extremely frustrating. The tendency to do this is almost impossible to avoid or correct for. Even if you could - you would be concentrating the whole time on the effort required to do so, as well as the effort to just mow the lawn - unacceptable in my mind. This seems to be an excellent mower, but when I returned it to Sears, even the salesman said that it really is only good on smooth flat lawns. So if you plan on using it to mow football fields, it should work great!

For Immediate
Release: December 29, 2008
VESTAL, N.Y. -- Junior guard D.J. Rivera, the leading scorer in the America East (21.1 ppg.), has been named the conference's Player of the Week for December 22-30 after leading the Bearcats to a pair of impressive victories. It's the second time this season Rivera has been honored.
Rivera opened the week with a double-double in BU's 69-58 win over Rider. He produced 22 points and 10 rebounds and keyed a big second-half run that helped the Bearcats put away the visiting Broncs.
In New Orleans on Saturday, Rivera scored 22 of his 24 points in the decisive second half as the Bearcats pinned a 74-73 loss on Conference USA member Tulane.
He now has scored 20 or more points in a school-record five straight games and in eight of 10 games as a Bearcat. Rivera ranks No. 1 in the conference in scoring, fifth in rebounding (6.9/game) and sixth in both field goal percentage (49%) and steals (1.6/game).
The last BU player to be honored twice as America East Player of the Week was Anthony Green, who earned the award three times during the 2002-03 season.

Staff Photo by Allison Carter/Chattanooga Times Free Press - Russell Fowler sifts through documents while at work on Monday morning. He is the associate director and an attorney at Legal Aid of East Tennessee, located in Chattanooga, Tenn. on McCallie Avenue.
The woman with a master's degree in alternative medicine fidgets as she waits to talk to a lawyer at Legal Aid of East Tennessee on McCallie Avenue.
Still trying to salvage a small business, she makes $420 a month with a part-time job and remains saddled with $178,000 in student loan debt. None of it can be discharged in bankruptcy, but she hopes at least to get rid of $18,000 in consumer debt now that creditors have started to sue her.
She doesn't want her name to be used. It was "totally embarrassing," she says, to realize finally that her education and failed acupuncture clinic probably never will change her fortunes.
"Here I am with this degree, and I've been living in poverty for the last 10 years," the woman said.
Living below the federal poverty line might have been the only positive part of her situation that day, at least when it came to getting an attorney.
That's the main requirement for people seeking free legal help in this country, without which the woman would have had no hope of paying the $2,000 or so it would have cost her to file for bankruptcy through a private lawyer.
Her situation is why Legal Aid of East Tennessee and hundreds of other legal aid clinics across the nation exist. They largely are the only lifelines for people who face the double whammy of poverty and the chronic legal battles of the poor — fighting crooked landlords, fighting to keep the lights turned on, fighting to keep creditors at bay — that are almost impossible to win without a lawyer.
"We're the legal equivalent of a medical emergency room, minus the bright neon signs and the controversy surrounding health care," said Russell Fowler, a lawyer and Legal Aid of East Tennessee's associate director.
But the state of legal aid in Tennessee and in the rest of the nation is just as dire as the health care situation, legal experts say, leaving legal aid clinics like Chattanooga's constantly scrambling for funds and resources and unable to serve most of the people eligible for their services.
Fowler said the strain only has grown as the economic crisis lingers, bringing in unlikely clients who once prospered. This year, a former college professor walked through legal aid's doors, he said.
"A lot of people think it's the same poor people we're always helping — the single mother who lives on welfare," Fowler said. "But today we're helping the 'new poor.' They don't fit the profile of the poverty client. They've worked all their lives, played by the rules, yet all of a sudden there's no work, the house is being foreclosed on and the car is getting repossessed. The fear is paralyzing."
Fowler said he and his staff constantly battle the notion that everyone is entitled to legal assistance when a dispute arises. Not true — the U.S. Constitution guarantees legal representation only for those accused of crimes. Millions who fight civil legal battles every day usually must pay for lawyers out of their own pockets.
And because private legal assistance is so expensive, those struggling financially are unlikely to get proper help even when they have valid legal claims, Fowler said.
It's a dilemma that led the Tennessee Supreme Court to announce in late 2008 that fixing the state's legal aid crisis would become its No. 1 strategic priority. The goal is the same in 2010, with the court recently declaring the lack of access to legal help "one of the most pressing issues" facing Tennessee's court system.
"The lack of civil legal services can be so devastating to people," Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Janice Holder said in an interview with the Times Free Press in late June. "We think in terms of lack of health care as having consequences that are life threatening. But in truth, the inability to access the legal system in a meaningful way can have every bit as devastating an effect as the absence of health care."
The woman filing for bankruptcy that day was lucky, legal aid lawyers said. She not only met the basic requirement of living in poverty but also the "emergency requirement," because she had to be in court within days to answer to her creditors.
Those are the types of details the legal aid lawyers must contemplate every day when deciding whom to represent. They simply do not have the manpower, Fowler said, to help everyone who is qualified.
Statistics gathered by the Tennessee Supreme Court back up the claim.
There are only 81 legal aid lawyers who work full time in one of Tennessee's five legal aid centers. Twenty-seven work for Legal Aid of East Tennessee, serving a client base of 300,000 out of the approximately 1 million residents statewide whose low incomes qualify them for free legal help.
It means the state's full-time legal aid lawyers every year wind up accepting only one in five cases brought by people seeking their services, a Tennessee Supreme Court study found.
The rate of service is similar on a national level, according to several studies examined by the state's top court.
Holder said the figures for Tennessee don't count the "thousands of people" who fall just outside the income guidelines but still are unable to afford lawyers when faced with life-altering events.
Even then, lawyers are forced to rank and prioritize the "life-altering" aspects of a case when choosing which to accept, Fowler said. Poor parents, for example, show up at their offices every day, needing help with a divorce or help trying to get visitation with their kids.
"That's certainly devastating to these people, but their livelihood at that very moment isn't threatened," Fowler said.
As a result, such cases rarely receive the full attention of one of Fowler's staff members.
Legal Aid of East Tennessee Executive Director David Yoder, who is based in Knoxville, said that's the hardest part of the job — turning people away.
"We have to do it too often, and we know they don't have any other place to go," Yoder said.
Cases that usually get pushed to the front of the line deal with domestic violence or the loss of shelter, government benefits or income, as with the woman who had to file for bankruptcy on an emergency basis.
Tonja Wilkes of Chattanooga was a recent client who had to be in court within days when she first contacted Legal Aid of East Tennessee. She needed help with a former landlord who had sued her for more than $5,000 in unpaid rent.
She said she and her partner, who had lost a 20-year career after being laid off, might have ended up homeless because of the lawsuit.
"I knew this lawsuit was crap, and I had the papers to prove it," Wilkes said.
What she didn't have was the money to pay a lawyer.
Chattanooga legal aid attorney Emily Ahlquist, who took Wilkes' case, works mainly in housing law and says it is a "normal occurrence" in Chattanooga for landlords illegally to lock out tenants, accuse them of not paying rent and demand other fees not required in lease agreements.
"This happens a lot to poor people, and unfortunately [landlords] get away with it," Ahlquist said. "And most times the victims have been impoverished for so long they don't even attend their own court hearing. By then it doesn't matter. The plaintiff doesn't even have to make the case. The judgment goes against them."
But Wilkes fought, and Ahlquist proved that the landlord lied about having a verbal agreement regarding rent.
"But I don't think [Wilkes] would have won without help," Ahlquist admitted.
Hiring a lawyer is not a requirement in the nation's court systems. People can represent themselves, but the inability to pay an attorney means justice might not be carried out fully, legal experts say.
That's why lawyers don't even represent themselves when they're sued, Fowler said.
"It's too complicated. It's too technical," he said.
The national push for legal aid began in the early 1970s with the creation of the Legal Services Corp., which, at first, almost fully funded every legal aid clinic in the nation. Most of the money went straight to the salaries of legal aid lawyers, who typically make considerably less than $100,000 a year and a fraction of what they would make working in private practice.
But by the late 1970s, Congress chose not to reauthorize the federal agency, and its existence today depends on a yearly appropriations bill with all kinds of stipulations attached to the financial aid it delivers.
Federal funding was cut drastically in the mid-1980s and again in 1995 amid political wrangling and controversy over the concept of legal aid. Today there is constant speculation as to whether Legal Aid of East Tennessee will have enough money to pay its attorneys.
Yoder, a lawyer, said his main job now is that of full-time fundraiser. The federal government gives the clinic just $13 per case it works on, which is about half of what the funding was in 1981 when adjusted for inflation. Yoder must seek funds from more than 40 other private sources to make up the shortfall, he said.
Being able to employ more legal aid lawyers and paralegals is the answer, Yoder said, and legislation is pending to reauthorize the Legal Services Corp. and ramp up funding.
But private lawyers who are willing to donate time also are critical, since they can fill the gaps when legal aid's staff attorneys can't take cases.
The Tennessee Supreme Court actively is working to elevate pro-bono efforts and will hold a summit in January to explore how to make it easier for private attorneys to donate their time.
The court also is considering making it easier for retired lawyers to keep up their licenses to practice, as well as changing rules that would allow lawyers to litigate just certain parts of a case rather than committing to a case full time.
Legal aid "is not a liberal issue, this is not a conservative issue. This is an issue of basic democracy in a country where the judicial system is meant for everyone," Fowler said. "Any lawyer will tell you that if you don't have a lawyer in court, you don't have access to justice."

Scary article... especially the part that some one has a degree in alternative medicine.
Critical thinking should be a required course.
Where's all the lawyers in Chattanooga who always cry for the poor and indigent (while raking in big bucks)? Why aren't they doing pro-bono work for Legal Aid?
You can't walk in downtown Chattanooga without stepping on a lawyer.
Oops. Mustn't point out the hypocrisy.

In what's being called a first-of-its-kind collaboration with a public utility, Sprint announced Monday that it has teamed up with LUS Fiber to provide wireless products and services to the customers of the community-owned network at discounted rates.
Officials said any qualified new or current LUS Fiber business customers or current Sprint residential customers who use LUS Fiber's services are eligible for 10 percent discounts on Sprint wireless service plans.
Business customers who buy equipment and services for their employees are eligible for additional savings, including:
· waived activation fees
· discounted device upgrades
· 20 percent discount on accessories at the time of activation
In announcing the program, Sprint said it's been impressed by LUS' fiber-to-the-home-and-business infrastructure and the city's foresight to bring that technology to local residents and businesses. Sprint added that it is also making investments in Lafayette, improving network performance in and around the area. "Sprint has upgraded its networks throughout Southwest Louisiana, and we expect to continue to build and improve facilities going forward," said Lori-Anne Hill, director of federal and public sector sales for Sprint. "This agreement affords Sprint the opportunity to collaborate with LUS Fiber to give them an edge in the competitive telecommunications marketplace."
Hill said this partnering also opens the door to other mutually beneficial business opportunities for Sprint and LUS.
"To have an internationally-acclaimed company like Sprint reach out to Lafayette to form this relationship is yet another testament to the value of Lafayette's investment in its fiber optic network," City-Parish President Joey Durel said in announcing the program. "Through LUS Fiber, we have already improved broadband capacity to every public school in Lafayette Parish, created a better and faster way for university faculty and students to share information and we have also seen new economic growth in our community."

People who work hard for their fortune and who have a lot to give, and do, are great for the world.
I give you all my most sincere tip of the hat and thank you.

An all-tube head with extensive tone shaping features.
The Two-Rock TRCUT350HD 50W Classic Type 3 Tube Guitar Amp Head derives its soft, organic feel, response and articulation from a pair of GZ34 tube rectifiers.In addition, the 2 x 6L6 output section can operate in either Class A or A/B, further enhancing the characteristics provided by the power supply.
The lead channel features an externally adjustable input gain trim control, allowing the player to select smooth overdriven tones or add more attack and bite if desired. A pair of contour controls have been added, independently offering a broad EQ sweep of both clean and lead modes. At the twelve o'clock position, the amp's frequency response is flat. Rotating the knob counter-clockwise, will decrease the highs and increase the lows, and vice-versa for clockwise movement. This is ideal for switching between single coils and humbuckers without touching other controls or compensating for different speaker cabinets. It's also a great way to compensate for room acoustics without changing your entire preamp EQ.

Reducing Mortality: It's About Time
An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, January 26, 2006, titled A National Evaluation of the Effect of Trauma‐Center Care on Mortality documents a 25% reduction in the case mix adjusted mortality rate for trauma patients when treated at trauma centers compared to care at non‐trauma centers. Mortality rates decline as new trauma centers are established in the underserved areas. Florida's statewide trauma center mortality rate decreased from 6.8% in 2002 to 4.8% in 2009 (Florida Dept.of Health, Florida Trauma System Strategic Plan, January 2011 – December 2015, p.41)
Trauma Service Area 13, with its elderly demographics, offers Blake and partner USF Health, some unique opportunities to improve trauma care. The Area was ranked as having the fifth highest mortality rate in the state for traumatic brain injury, seventh for falls and eighth for motor vehicle injuries, according to the March 2008 Florida trauma research report. The elderly are at a higher risk for poor outcomes in trauma due to other medical conditions present at the time of injury.
Until now, no trauma center has been located within our Manatee, Sarasota and Desoto County Trauma Region which resulted in trauma patients being transported north to St. Petersburg or Tampa, east to Lakeland or south to Lee County.
This is not ideal for two important reasons. The first is time, which is absolutely critical in traumatically injured patients, where minutes can be the difference between life and death. The second is the hardship placed on the family, who must travel great distances to be with a family member after a traumatic injury. Now that Blake has a designated Level II Trauma Center, patients and their families can get the care they need, close to home.
For more information about trauma care at Blake Medical Center, please contact us at:
Our patients have access to an experienced team of physicians, nurses, clinicians and rehabilitation specialists.

U.S. Senate Falls Off the Insult Cliff
Strained negotiations over the fiscal cliff have to led to some heated remarks in the normally stodgy Senate. Harry Reid called House Speaker John Boehner a "dictator" for the latter's refusal to bring Senate bills to a vote in the House. Before that, Reid compared Republicans to the New York Jets.
Which is to say: Senate insults have gotten lame lately and productivity seems to have suffered as a result. At least you could count on the Senate to authorize a war or two in the days when Dick Cheney stalked the chamber, telling Sen. Patrick Leahy to do a certain anatomically impossible thing to himself.
Maybe if we get back to the days of hardcore incivility and let elected officials blow off some steam, they'll get more work done. Consider the greatest congressional insults in history:
Tags: Fiscal Cliff, Harry Reid, History, Senate
What Happens When the Filibuster Goes Bust?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is supposedly thinking about changing Senate rules this congress so that legislators seeking to enact a filibuster would no longer just have to say, "Hey, I filibust this, yo!" or whatever traditional talk they use. Instead they'd have to stand up in from of the Senate and talk for a really, really long time, Jimmy Stewart style. Which is why I thought people got into politics to begin with.
Anyway, Republican senators are apparently concerned that this would get in the way of their plan to be as obstructionist as possible at all times. And they're threatening that, if Reid has his way, they will be as obstructionist as possible at all times…
Republicans are threatening even greater retaliation if Reid uses a move rarely used by Senate majorities: changing the chamber's precedent by 51 votes, rather than the usual 67 votes it takes to overhaul the rules.
"I think the backlash will be severe," Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the conservative firebrand, said sternly. "If you take away minority rights, which is what you're doing because you're an ineffective leader, you'll destroy the place. And if you destroy the place, we'll do what we have to do to fight back."
Taking away minority rights?! Oh, man! That could really hamper Republicans' ability to take away minority rights!
Not to mention their ongoing plan to destroy the place.

Nancy Pelosi Sees Ghosts in the White House, Doesn't Call the Ghostbusters
Speaking in front of the Women's Political Committee, Nancy Pelosi — House Minority Leader and Bizarro Michele Bachmann — claimed she saw the spirits of Suffragette icons in the White House materialize before her and heard them say, "At last we have a seat at the table."
Susan B. Anthony must be rolling over in her plain, matronly, yet sensibly and sturdily built coffin. Here's video of the incident…
Oh my God. That must have been terrifying… for the ghosts! BOOM!
What do White House ghosts do to scare each other at night? Tell Nancy Pelosi stories! BAZZZIIIIING! SOCK IT TO ME!
Democrats can spend all day laughing at the crazies in the Republican party (and they should, because it's fun), but they have to recognize the crazy in their own party. The only thing that separates Herman Cain from Harry Reid is that Herman Cain has charm and Harry Reid has power.

John Sununu Fights Baseless Allegation with Baseless Allegation
Harry Reid's accusations about Mitt Romney's taxes — based upon the words of supposedly anonymous sources — are weird and a little gross. And since a team of Romney scientists was unable to come up with any way to somehow refute these claims, they were forced into getting their surrogates to go on television and call Reid names.
The problem with this, however, is that… well, nobody gives a shit about Harry Reid. And people who nobody cares about don't make very good monsters with the public at large, no matter how much a group may try to push them as such. (See also: George Soros, Bill Ayers, Saul Alinsky and almost anybody ever mentioned by Newt Gingrich.)
Not to worry! Republican guru John Sununu has a solution! And it doesn't undermine the basic premise of the GOP argument in the slightest…
"Look, Harry Reid is a bumbling Senate leader," the former New Hampshire governor said Monday on Fox News. "He hasn't been able to pass a budget, he hasn't been able to do anything about entitlement reform, he's done nothing worthwhile except the bidding of the Obama administration. They have pointed out that Harry is lying, and the public is beginning to understand that Harry is lying."
"It's not Harry Reid, it's President Obama and the Obama campaign doing what they always do," he said. "The Obama campaign and President Obama are the ones that are behind this dishonesty and misrepresentation because they are trying to hide the failure of this abysmal presidency that we have had in office the last four years."
We think it's wrong wrong wrong to claim a bunch of awful things about the opposing presidential candidate without offering any semblance of proof to back up your claims! Oh, and we think the opposing presidential candidate is behind these attacks.
Why? No reason. Just a hunch.

Nancy Pelosi Confirms Mystery Person Said Something to Harry Reid
Finally! Harry Reid is getting a little back-up in his some anonymous mystery person told me something bad about Mitt Romney story…
"Harry Reid made a statement that is true. Somebody told him. It is a fact," [Nancy] Pelosi told The Huffington Post in a Sunday interview. "Whether he did or not can easily be disposed of: Mitt Romney can release his tax returns and show whether he paid taxes."…
Asked to respond to Priebus calling Reid "a dirty liar" over the situation, Pelosi initially responded, "Who?" She went on to say that Priebus doesn't know what he's talking about since he wasn't part of Reid's conversations.
"Well he doesn't know that," Pelosi said. "Harry Reid is a person who is, as we know, A, is a fighter, B, he wouldn't say this unless it was true that somebody told him that."
Well, there you have it! Some unnamed person said something or other at some point in time about Mitt Romney's taxes to Harry Reid. "It is a fact!"
What more corroboration could anybody possibly want?

Metal nanoparticles of varying sizes can be prepared by physical as well as chemical methods. They exhibit many fascinating properties, the size-dependent metal to nonmetal transition being an important one. Metal nanoparticles capped by thiols can be organized into ordered one-, two- and three-dimensional structures and these structures have potential applications in nanodevices. In this context, organization of arrays of metal nanoparticles with a fixed number of atoms assumes significance.

Philadelphia Eagles (0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS) vs. Washington Redskins (0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS)
NFL Week 1
Date and Time: Monday September 9th, 2013. 7:00PM Eastern
Where: Fedex Field Landover, M.D.
by Jay, Football Handicapper, Predictem.com
Point Spread: Phil +3/WASH -3
Over/Under Total: 51
Bet your Philly/Skins pick using your credit card at an online sportsbook where it WILL work for deposits and where you'll receive a giant 50% free play up to $2500 on your first deposit: BetOnline.
The first episode of Monday Night Football kicks off September 9th when the Washington Redskins host the Philadelphia Eagles for a big NFC East opener when both teams collide at FedEx Field. The Eagles will get the luxury of introducing the Chip Kelly era in the primetime spotlight. However the bad news for Eagles fans is that they will be facing some tough obstacles in their first week not only internally with several injuries but also externally with the Washington Redskins who hope to challenge for the NFC Championship in 2013.
The Eagles have suffered a ton of preseason injuries in recent weeks which are bound to frustrate Chip Kelly's debut. Perhaps the most significant of those injuries was an ACL tear to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Maclin was the leading receiver for the Eagles in 2012 with 69 catches for 857 yards. Needless to say, Maclin's presence will be missed as the offense tries to get accustomed to Chip Kelly's new up tempo attack. Still the bigger focal point for the offense resides at the quarterback position where Michael Vick earned the starting nod after a fairly tight quarterback battle this offseason with Nick Foles.
Can Vick find some consistency and be a reliable threat for the offense? Last year Vick completed just 58% passing and tossed just 12 touchdowns with 10 picks. Obviously Kelly's new offense may be the ideal fit for Vick as it will allow him to move his feet and throw on the run. Still, Vick will have to be consistent if he wants to stay behind center. The offense in general is going to have to find ways to move the football consistently. After all the Eagles defense allowed 27.8 points per game in 2012 which was among the worse averages in the NFL. Still, the offense remains an enigma perhaps waiting to be unveiled. Surely Kelly has not shown the best of the up tempo offense and he will find ways to get the ball into the hands of their playmakers. Expect speedy wide out DeSean Jackson to play a big role in this new offense and to get different looks all over the field. Kelly designed his offense to get the ball in the hands of his playmakers while at Oregon and I would expect much of the same in 2013. Of course the big question remains if this Chip Kelly offense can succeed in the NFL?
On the other side of the field, the Washington Redskins will enter their home opener as slight 3 point favorites over the Eagles. However, the betting public has favored the Redskins heavily with as much as 75% of early betting action favoring the home team. Perhaps the biggest reason Washington is the betting publics' sexy pick surrounds the health of QB Robert Griffin III. RG3 ended the 2012 season with significant ACL and LCL damage in his knee that required offseason surgery. Well the good news for Redskins is that RG3 has claimed he is back to 100% health and will be ready to lead Washington towards a run at the NFC Championship this year.
Last year RG3 was spectacular in his rookie debut passing for 3,200 yards with 20 touchdowns and 5 picks. Oh yeh he rushed for 815 yards and 7 additional touchdowns as well and perhaps more importantly transformed the Washington offense into an every down threat overnight. A healthy RG3 definitely means the Redskins offense should be full of firepower in 2013 especially in the passing game.
Of course the Washington backfield is not too shabby either as running back Alfred Morris is set for his 2nd season in the NFL. Morris became a big threat for the Redskins as a rookie last season rushing for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season. Of course RG3's elusiveness helped open up some of those holes in the running game, but Morris capitalized to say the least. It will be interesting to see if both Morris and RG3 can have that same type off success in 2013 and what opposing defenses decide to do in effort to slow down the Redskins offense. Obviously the offense is going to take the Redskins as far as they can go in 2013 but the question is how far will it be?
Jay's Pick to Cover the Point Spread: Call this the obvious pick but I just do not see Chip Kelly and the Eagles offense gelling in week 1. The Redskins are much more balanced and their defense is also on the upswing. I like Washington to win this one without too much difficulty. Take Washington -3!

It's not going to be particularly useful to small-sample guess against this sort of thing. Plus the viability of TDR as a metric at all is questionable at best. What you want to be able to have is a model that predicts the smoothest possible damage intake for a given set of gear on a given encounter...and that requires a LOT of data to determine properly.
The problem you're trying to solve is probably a solvable one (and, honestly, a pretty interesting one), but the method you're going about it isn't apt to get you (necessarily) interesting results. Someone like WoL might be able to if they were willing to run the statistical analyses...but even they would need to fetch more data than they collect.
Now, you can probably make pretty decent guesses even in a simple mod, but it's going to be extremely tricky...
Thanks a lot for your input Ion. It seems that you understand the nature of the problem a lot better than most people. Being a math major, having the required data to make a good model is my dream scenario, but I don't see it happen. Right now I am just trying to come up with a more useful metric than TDR that is possible to implement within the frames of my small addon. I don't think that it will ever be able to replace knowledge of every encounter, just work as a hint.

Re: recognize character entities
Given that you mention EPS and Symbol, do you need the eventual output to be the Type 1 Symbol set code for the character as well as being wrapped in an element that specifies the 'font'?
If you have some downstream process that translates ÷ to Symbol code 270 (octal - as given in the back of the PDF reference manual), Α to Symbol code 101 etc. then this is overloading the entity reference syntax in a way that is potentially very confusing.
I suspect that the problem here is not so much recognising entity references, but that the syntax has been used to represent characters that are not to be handled as Unicode code points (so interpreting ÷ as meaning U+00F7 will give the wrong result.)

text: Financial Crisis Professor Says Churchill May Have Voted UKIP Print article Send a Tip by Nick Hallett 7 Aug 2014 post a comment An academic who is seen as a major authority on the recent financial crisis has claimed that Winston Churchill may have voted UKIP were he still alive today. Professor Johan Lybeck, who is author of 'A Global History of the Financial Crash of 2007-10' said in a letter to the Financial Times that "the Hypothesis most certainly cannot be excluded" that Churchill would have "ratted" on his party - the Conservatives - and voted UKIP. Responding to comments by German Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann that Winston Churchill would want Britain to stay in the European Union, Professor Lybeck quotes a speech the wartime Prime Minister made in Zürich in 1946: "We must build a kind of United States of Europe. In this way only will hundreds of millions of toilers be able to regain the simple joys and hopes which make life worth living. The process is simple. All that is needed is the resolve of hundreds of millions of men and women to do right instead of wrong and to gain as their reward blessing instead of cursing... "I am now going to say something that will astonish you. The first step in the re-creation of the European family must be a partnership between France and Germany. In this way only can France recover the moral and cultural leadership of Europe. There can be no revival of Europe without a spiritually great France and a spiritually great Germany... However, Churchill then indicates that, while Britain should be friendly with the project, it should not be directly involved: "In this urgent work France and Germany must take the lead together. Great Britain, the British Commonwealth of Nations, mighty America – and, I trust, Soviet Russia, for then indeed all would be well – must be the friends and sponsors of the new Europe and must champion its right to live. Therefore I say to you 'Let Europe arise!'" Professor Lybeck says it is therefore "eminently clear" from this that Churchill wanted Britain "watching with approval from the sidelines" as France and Germany built a new order on the European continent. Lybeck also says that he doubts Churchill would have taken Britain into the EU as it would compromise the Special Relationship with America. Professor Lybeck has been professor of economics at the University of Gothenburg and the University of Stockholm, as well as serving as an independent consultant for 25 years. He has also held positions at Swedbank Treasury division, been president and CEO of SwedeSettle and was Chief Economist at Matteus Bank.

For helping me figure out why YourSQL stopped working (giving me a "No document could be created" error), my hat is off to oae. It's a Java thing. YourSQL doesn't play well with Java 6, which I had set my computer to use. The only thing I could add to oae's post is that to change the Java settings on OSx, go to Applications->Utilities->Java->Java Preferences. Then drag Java 5 to the top of the list.
So hopefully the 5 visitors I've had here will lend me enough Google street cred that this link to your blog brings you .3 visitors.
If you wonder why I was using your sequel or whether or not you had even written the first work requiring a sequel, then I can say with at least .9 certainty that this post doesn't apply to you.

Dolphin dies in 'freak accident' at Brookfield Zoo
BY art golab Staff Reporter September 5, 2011 8:54PM
Chicago Zoological Society (Brookfield) staff are mourning the tragic loss of Nea, a 4-year-old female Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. Nea died suddenly just before the 1 p.m. dolphin show today. Zoo pathologists performed an animal autopsy to determine the cause of death. Preliminary results indicate a fractured skull.
Updated: November 9, 2011 10:57AM
The youngest of Brookfield Zoo's seven dolphins died Monday in what zoo officials called a "freak accident," apparently as a result of a fractured skull from a collision with another dolphin.
The accident happened just before Nea, a 4-year-old Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, was due to perform in the zoo's 1 p.m. show.
No one saw what happened, but her trainers heard a loud pop and jumped into the water. They found Nea unresponsive and attempted CPR. Veterinary staff arrived within 10 minutes to assist, but they were not able revive the dolphin.
Preliminary results of an animal autopsy performed later Monday indicated a fractured skull. Zoo experts believe that Nea received her fatal injuries from colliding with another dolphin rather than a hard fixed object, which would have caused scrapes or bruises.
"We checked for all those signs, and there was absolutely nothing else there," said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president of animal care and collections. "So whatever she hit, it was a soft object. It wasn't the side of a pool which would be hard. That kind of abrasion would have shown up."
Five of the seven dolphins are younger, Zeigler said. "They're like a bunch of kids running around. We just think they happened to collide."
Nea's death "devastated" the workers who cared for her, said Rita Stacey, curator of marine mammals.
"She was a wonderful animal to work with. Anybody who had worked with her just instantly fell in love with her. She was a very fun-loving, very cooperative animal. She always wanted to work with and play with the trainers," Stacey said.
Shows were canceled but will resume Tuesday.

Gray Bros. Cafeteria, Mooresville, Ind.
Generations ago, cafeteria-style dining used to be the way people ate out when they didn't feel like cooking. Before McDonald's, before TGI Fridays, long before Five Guys (which I do dearly miss), a night out meant standing in line and grabbing a tray, then loading it up with whatever you wanted to create your meal, followed by paying at the cash register and finding a table to dine.
For the most part, cafeteria-style dining is a thing of the past, replaced by sit-down restaurants and buffets. But there are still a few places left that do things the old-fashioned way, and in the shadows of the Indianapolis International Airport in Mooresville sits Gray Brothers, which is as old-fashioned as it gets and has been since 1944. It might just be a southern Indianapolis thing, given the nostalgic feeling of Edwards Drive-In, but whatever the reason, Gray Bros. remains a throwback, and a wonderful one at that.
Basically, the experience at Gray Bros. is like your high school cafeteria, except about 10,000 times better. When you start through the line, everything is available for you to take, and you're allowed as many or as few items as you want. If you see a good entree, all you've got to do is ask the server behind the counter for a helping. In the mood for a salad? Choose the ingredients that you like. Want some dessert? Grab a slice of pie. All of it is available to you, to be paid when you get through the line. Then you're left to grab your condiments and silverware, or you can let a waitress do it for you. That is an oddity about cafeteria dining, apparently, because it does come with a food server.
Of course, the ability to grab all you want does come with a warning. This is NOT a buffet place. Cafeteria-style dining means you take as much as you want, but it's not all-you-can-eat. Whatever you take, you're paying for, and the cost of your bill at the end of the line is determined by how much is on your tray. Basically, the rule of thumb is to make sure you're going to have enough room for everything that you're putting on your tray, because all of it adds up.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't try a good mix of what Gray Bros. has to offer, because you'd be doing yourself a great disservice. Gray Bros. features a rotating menu, only offering a select number of entrees each day. Show up one day, and you might be making a choice between roast beef and fried chicken among the nine or 10 options available. Another visit might see meatloaf and Swiss steak among the choices.
That's because, similar to Yoder's, everything served is made fresh in the restaurant. On my visit, the best thing on the menu was the fried chicken, which was nothing short of incredible. Fried chicken can be either outstanding or rough depending on the quality of the preparation of the bird. A poorly-prepared chicken turns out greasy rather than crispy, making for an experience that just doesn't work as well as it could.
As you might guess, that isn't the case here. I'm not sure if it's pressure-fried like at some places, but however Gray Bros. prepares it, it's crispy outside and moist and juicy inside. This chicken was good from first bite to last, and I can definitely see why the menu calls it Hoosier fried chicken. It's quality the state can be proud of for sure.
With the sides, few things go better with chicken than macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. I should say here that I'm normally not a fan of gravy on potatoes. Call me weird, but I think that in a lot of cases, the gravy overwhelms the potatoes and the flavors don't work right. Not the case here. This gravy is like a beef broth that works with the potatoes rather than dominating them. These might have been the best potatoes I've eaten outside of Idaho. Simply can't top the Gem State in that department (because fresher is better), but Gray Brothers certainly knows how to prepare potatoes. The macaroni is cheesy, creamy, flavorful and hot. Perfect comfort food. Throw in a freshly-baked roll and some sweet tea (yes, you can get sweet tea in the North, believe it or not), and you have one heck of a meal.
But you don't have a complete meal. At least, you don't have a complete meal by Gray Bros. standards. No, to get a complete meal, you have to add some dessert. Most likely, that dessert is coming in the form of pie. Gray Bros. serves 15 different pies on its menu, such as lemon, apple, banana and chocolate. I think there's also a sugar cream pie in there (Indiana's signature dessert), but I don't know for sure. Cakes are also plentiful.
But the king of the desserts at Gray Brothers is the strawberry pie. Truth be told, you can't really get much more simple than it. It's simply fresh strawberries packed in a pie crust and covered with strawberry glaze, then topped with whipped cream. But simplicity is sometimes amazing. The glaze heightens the flavor of the ripe strawberries, making for a strong taste throughout, which is offset a little by the homemade whipped cream. The whipped cream prevents the taste from being too much, and the result is the most simple pie there is becomes the most memorable. One thing I do recommend with this pie is to get a water along with your beverage (it's free near the end of the counter, although I only grabbed one because I didn't know you get refills in this setting. You do.), or else you'll ruin the taste of the drink.
There's really nothing negative about any of this food. There's a reason that Gray Bros. is on its fourth generation and people line up outside the restaurant before it opens in a small Indiana suburb. It's because it's really, really awesome. This is a must-visit in the Crossroads of America.
Time to go: Lunch or dinner. Gray Bros. is open from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and it's always popular.
Wait during my visit: Actually not long, despite starting outside the building. Gray Bros.' cafeteria-style keeps the line moving quickly, so you move through fast. However, tables are first-come, first-served since you pick your table. Plan accordingly.
Location: Gray Bros. is at 555 S. Indiana Street in Mooresville, Ind.
Cost: Varies. You decide the cost based on how much you want to eat. Normally, a full meal with two sides, roll, beverage and pie will cost you about $15 or less.
Parking: Plentiful. There's a big lot surrounding the restaurant, although it can get full.
Seating arrangement: Old-style chairs and tables in a wide-open space.
Website: Gray Brothers
Signature items: Comfort foods, cafeteria dining.

I am a White Sox fan but I live in New York. The Mets always seem to be a conundrum. Why commit $20 million to a 40 year old pitcher with drug abuse history? Given the Mets redevelopment progress wouldn't it have been more prudent to give Torres a chance and then bring up one of the prospects in the summer? New York fans are notably impatient but they are also baseball savvy. I don't think that many would think this deal sensible.
Dec 12, 2013 05:47 AM
Palehose - as a Mets fan I like this signing. $20 mil over two years for a good starter is a bargain.
Dec 12, 2013 11:32 AM
I will admit that if the Mets season doesn't pan out but Colon continues to perform they could trade him to a contender in July or even next winter. It's just that it's a roster spot being taken up by a player with no long term prospects. The Mets have little chance of seriously contending in 2014 in particular. If they take a chance with someone like Torres maybe they discover a low cost asset that would be controllable for several years.

- Resources
In this section, we aim to provide links to select resources on teaching and learning and online learning modules and other resources developed by Center staff and Saint Louis University faculty. Because we are aiming for selectivity, we approach this set of teaching resources as curatorially-considering the vast array of teaching resources freely available online, selecting carefully those that seem to have the broadest application for SLU instructors, and synthesizing them into organized, easy-to-access resources.
Resources are grouped loosely into the following categories:
- Teaching at Saint Louis University
- General Teaching Tips and Resources
- Past Reinert Center Events Archive
We also include a page of Audio Resources, on which you will find podcasts, interviews, keynote addresses from Center events, and other short audio resources.
Over time, the Reinert Center staff will continue to build upon these pages, adding original content and new links. (Have a recommendation for a resource we might include? Let us know by submitting it through our online form by clicking here.)
