'Sculpted' Jacobson, Cougs ready for Pro Day
PULLMAN -- WSU's Pro Day is Thursday, and offensive lineman Wade Jacobson is relishing the chance to…
|Tuel calls an audible to maximize pro chances
PULLMAN – Jeff Tuel is calling an audible and splitting the seam. After impressive performances at a pair of all-star games and stellar individual workouts that further raised his profile among NFL scouts, ol' No. 10 for the Cougs has decided to change up the standard campus Pro Day routine. To maintain his momentum, he's going to divide his work between two campuses over two days.
Tuel plans to work out for NFL teams at WSU's Pro Day on March 7, and at Eastern Washington University's the day before, on March 6.
"I'm going to throw at EWU because they have four receivers there including Marquess (Wilson)," Tuel told CF.C on Saturday. "They have a lot of bodies to throw to."
Tuel will then head down the road to do the running and jumping portion of his work out in Pullman.
Wilson, Tuel's good friend and favorite target at Washington State, is attending Pro Day in Cheney rather than Pullman, presumably because of the well-publicized and highly contentious way he departed WSU last fall.
Wilson appeared to stoke the cooling embers of the situation Saturday in a Seattle Times article in which he was quoted as saying he doesn't regret his actions of last fall and never recanted his comments, as WSU interpreted in an email he sent in the midst of the storm to WSU athletic director Bill Moos. The email, he told the Times, was more a clarification that no physical abuse took place.
Tuel has been working out this winter in Orlando, Fla., with Tom Shaw, who is widely regarded as one of the best in the pro preparation business.
Among those working out alongside Tuel there are Wilson and EWU receivers Brandon Kaufman and Greg Herd. With all three ticketed for Pro Day in Cheney, Tuel's decision to split his dance card is a logical one.
"We have been throwing the route tree and getting a lot of good work," Tuel said. (Wilson, Kaufman, Herd and I) have been living together and been on a strict diet."
Another guy with good hands also has been in Orlando working out with Tuel: star West Virginia wideout and top-flight draft prospect Tavon Austin.
Tuel said since his performances in the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl and the Casino Del Sol All-Star Game, his stock has been rising in the eyes of NFL observers.
"I plan to keep that train rolling through Pro Day," Tuel said. "I've been hearing great things."
Tuel is heading to Los Angeles today to work with quarterback coach and longtime friend Bob Johnson. Tuel started training under Johnson in high school and has relied on him in off seasons for footwork and mechanics coaching.
Tuel will return to Pullman on March 1 to continue his Pro Day preparations.
And then it's all eyes on the draft, which takes places April 25-27.
"I will be watching the NFL draft at home in Fresno with my family," Tuel said.
As of now, most draft pundits see Tuel as a late-round pick or free agent signee.

Police report: Bears' Garrett Wolfe disputed $1,572 nightclub bill

The unpaid nightclub bill that resulted in an altercation and subsequent arrest of Bears' free-agent running back Garrett Wolfe on Sunday morning in Miami totaled $1,572, according to the police report obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
After being charged with retail theft, disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest with violence, the former Holy Cross High School and Northern Illinois star's bond has been set at $11,500.
Wolfe allegedly became aggressive while disputing the purchase of three bottles of champagne at Cameo Night Club in Miami Beach. He was forcefully removed from the club, causing business to stop and patrons to leave, according to the report released by Miami Beach Police.
Once outside, Wolfe was initially restrained before being released in order to settle his bill. Then, Wolfe allegedly lunged at an off-duty police officer, prompting a scuffle that resulted in Wolfe and two off-duty officers sustaining abrasions before Wolfe was finally handcuffed, according to the police report.
Wolfe, who officers said in the report smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, threatened to sue the officers and at one point said: "Let's compare bank accounts."

- Day time and night timeHoyaChrisDined on 11/5/2014Food was good. We didn't try anything very adventerous, but what we had was attractively presented and tasted good. What I really wish was that I was there after work instead of the middle of the work day. This is probably Birmingham's best food / beer combo. There are better beer bars, but the food isn't as good. This is a very good restaurant with a fantastic beer selection.Special Features:
- Good food. not so good service.notpickybutDined on 11/1/2014We had a group of 11. One person did not get food until 20 minutes after the rest of us. Same with a drink order for different person. Several of us did not get side dishes until 5 minutes after we had to ask about them. .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/10/2014LOVED this place!!! The lobster rolls & fried pickles were AWESOME!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but service lackingapikramenosVIPDined on 10/7/2014The food was good but the service was lacking a bit and the food came out very slowly for a restaurant that was not very full.Special Features:
- Slow service.bad foodSejmDined on 9/26/2014Slow service even being only half full. The roast beef sliders, according to the menu, were to be rare. The roast beef was well done and tasteless. I would have told my server but I could not find her. My wife's wine glass stayed empty through dinner as the server was hard to locate. The only time she was truly attentive was when she brought the check.
- Lunch MeetingRichz2Dined on 9/26/2014Great food and good atmosphere to grab a bite and get a quick meeting in also.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Birthday Lunchfoodlover64Dined on 8/28/2014I was taken to Todd English Pub for my birthday and I couldn't have been more pleased with the atmosphere, the great service and the exceptional food. I enjoyed the New England Style Lobster Rolls, and had probably the best Sour Apple Martini that I have ever had.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014The food was great. The service was outstanding. Loved the different types of beer.Special Features:
- Date nightMozartDined on 8/8/2014This is a great place for a group of friends getting together to enjoy a night out, but not a romantic place for a date or to relax and unwind. It's very loud and sometimes you have to scream to talk to your date or be heard. Food and service excellent. Would go back again but not on a date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- too loud to have a conversationczechpleaseDined on 8/6/2014While the food was good, it was overwhelmingly loud because of the live music. We spoke to our server and ultimately a manager, who admitted that this is a real problem on certain nights. The musicians refused to turn down their sound system to a reasonable level. I would return only if I were dining outside or there were no live music.
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/6/2014The place had live music and was a little loud for talking to others but overall it was a great experience. Be prepared to drop some money- it isn't cheapSpecial Features:
- The following 146 reviews are from the Todd English P.U.B Birmingham reviews archive.
- Group dinnerRjonVIPDined on 7/29/2014I made reservations for 4. We had 3 other colleagues join us for dinner before the reservation. The restaurant was great at accomodating our party at two tables next to each other. We really did appreciate it. The food was good. The food for the two tables came out about 15 min apart. One table was done eating while the other was still to be served. It was a busy night. It was not so much of a bother either. The weather was great and we were not in a hurry. Everyone enjoyed the variety of food and the quality. The selection of drinks and beers was great. We all enjoyed our time together.Special Features:
- Great foodEpicurusDined on 7/20/2014This was our first time at Todd's, and we were pleasantly surprised. The pretzel rolls were delicious, the main courses were tasty, and the service was excellent. If I had to find fault, it was that the pastry crust on my chicken pot pie was a little dry. But that's really about it. Recommended.Special Features:
- Good Food and ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/16/2014Food was good. Service was excellent! Will come back again.Special Features:
- DisappointingBamaFan37Dined on 7/6/2014My wife and I had an early dinner here for our wedding anniversary. We both were very disappointed in our experience at this restaurant. It's sad because Birmingham is taking great steps in creating Uptown district. Todd English PUB is not an asset.Special Features:
- Great experiencebrownhornetDined on 6/27/2014Came for first time with wife, had a lovely Tuna burger and my wife had fish and chips. We both enjoyed the food, service was very good. A bit loud but to be expected at this establishment. Would come back again...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but very loud...likeeatinoutDined on 6/21/2014Had a great time at Todd English PUB!!! The food was AWESOME!! The service could have been better - our waitress was taking care of several tables and we kind of was forgotten...when we stopped her and asked her for something she was quick, but didn't check on us often enough. It was VERY loud!! The music was LOUD which caused people to have to talk loud to be heard. I asked for a muscato wine and there were none, my husband and friend asked for a Coors Light and they were out, asked for a Miller Light and they were out. Really need to have things that are on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and Service were subparOpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 6/18/2014I was extremely disappointed last night at dinner. For a table of two, and the restaurant having open tables, our dinner took over 2 and half hours to complete. The majority of the night was spent waiting on the drinks, food and server. My partner, had ordered his martini and after a half hour he had to re order it. I had the brisket. It was awful. I was expecting the tender melt in your mouth experience we all know and love. Their attempt was to make it a bacon. It was overly salted and I felt like I was eating cold congealed fat. The absolute best part of the restaurant was our hostess. She was funny and friendly. Hopefully she can move on to a restaurant that will mimic her skills.
- Not impressedBHMdinerDined on 6/15/2014The beer menu looked good, but the wait staff was not knowledgeable about the offerings. The food was nothing special. The restaurant was noisy even though it was not crowded. We had an extra charge on our bill that had to be removed. There are many better options in Birmingham.
- Reservations are no guarantee.LeslieDined on 6/15/2014After requesting a table specifically with a good view of the big tv for the World Cup on Fathers Day in our reservation, we were bumped from the seats we requested because a larger party reserved the pllace. YOur reservation is only good as long as a larger party doesnt want it. We were very frustrated as we were seated in a corner where half of us had ot turn our chairs to even see the tv. We went there because the al.com article talked about how supportive mgt was with World Cup fans. We should have gone to Buffalo Wild Wings and taken our chances at a table. The waiter was nice and friendly and handled our table of five plus the party of eleven impressively. But we wont be watching the rest of the Cup at Todd English.
- Poor experiencetreyDined on 6/14/2014Waiter was not helpful. Told us to stay away from Prime Beef. Recommended fish and chips. Only 1 piece of fish and it was over cooked.Special Features:
- DisappointingJenniferjloDined on 6/13/2014After having lunch here with a co-worker, I decided to bring my husband out in a Friday night so he could see the unique atmosphere and we could support the revitalization of downtown Birmingham. I knew it was pricey, so that was not a surprise. However, the extremely poor service, long wait for drinks and food, greasy appetizer, and music that was too loud to enjoy the sports made this our last visit. Absolutely unacceptable.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/5/2014Todd English pub is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to eat when in Birmingham. Give it a try and find out for yourself.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday brunch for my partnerTerryHallDined on 6/1/2014We arrived at the restaurant and was greeted very warmly by the hostess. I thought this would be great. Our server was adequate but seemed to lack any enthusiasm at all. All of our food came at one time as well as our $12 drinks. It's a shame that I must say this but I wouldn't recommend this establishment for anything other than a bite to eat because you were staying in the hotel. We love the uptown area to eat but not paying this price $$$$ for hotel food
- Skip the foodTimOnTheTownVIPDined on 5/28/2014What a let down going here! I was thinking i might enjoy another fine meal in Birmingham and instead got iffy service and bland food. I think Mr. English has lost his touch, because there was nothing to make one return to this place. The bartenders are too busy talking to friends to get you drinks, the service staff confuses the orders and then you get food with no flavor. Maybe stop here for a drink, BUT SKIP THE FOOD!Special Features:
- Very slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 5/27/2014They take for ever - for everything from refilling drinks to taking orders - and often get things wrong.
- RojoVIPDined on 5/24/2014This was an excellent find in a new area. The food was deleicious, especially the chicken and waffles. Superb dining experience.Special Features:
- Great PlaceRetiredMilitary06Dined on 5/16/2014This was my second visit to Todd English and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Of course the food was very delicious.Special Features:
- Not all that impresseddia2Dined on 4/26/2014I had the chicken parmesan sliders and my husband that the fish and chips. Neither of us was impressed with our meal. The sliders were fairly flavorless and very greasy.Special Features:
- Good but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 4/25/2014Food and drinks were good but service was very unattentive. Fortunately, we were with friends and not in a hurry but it was strange how the waitress would walk by and look but not ask us if we needed anything.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great atmosphere!DerrickCDined on 4/25/2014My wife and I decided to try Todd English Pub this past Friday. It is located in the heart of Uptown. Great place to get a meal, drinks, and to socialize. Differently recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow, slow, slowOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 4/18/2014We stopped prior to an event downtown. The menu is interesting, and has a wide variety of items. Large beer selection. Service was extremely slow. The food cam e in stages, but three of four items were cool, not cold, but not warm. Very loud, as the decor is concrete floors and a metal ceiling. A bar type atmosphere.
- Food LateLateFoodDined on 4/18/2014Even though our server was very good, the arrival of one person's food was very late. The explanation was that there was a shift change and there was not adequate communication at shift change. Once the food arrived it was over cooked ! The bread was actually burnt ! I waited to eat my food until all food had arrived and due to the fact the food was late my food got cold. In addition, I found the food was over priced for what you get.
- Todd English P.U.B., Excellent!LouisDined on 4/10/2014I hosted a business lunch at Todd English, P.U.B. and was delighted to find such an exceptional restaurant in the newly developed area around the new, downtown entertainment district. Its sister restaurant is located in Las Vegas and its menu did not disappoint. With a raw bar, a wide variety of excellent food choices and several special offerings, Todd English, P.U.B. is a great place to entertain guests, and enjoy the ambiance of a world-class restaurant with a staff of well-trained professionals. I will be back whenever my travels bring me back to Birmingham!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of Town GuestsOutofTownGuestsDined on 4/4/2014We had family members visiting from out of town and they are always looking to try teh newest, local places! They were very pleased with the beer selection, but were somewhat disappointed that some of the local beers were out. Food was amazing, and very uniquely presented! They stated they would definitely like to come back. Only negative is that the noise is a little bit loud and hard to hear each other talk somewhat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great upscale pub!WENDYVIPDined on 3/29/2014Food was awesome. Service was slow! Great beer and food selections! Will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous beer list with goodBeerguyDined on 3/28/2014Fabulous beer list with good prices! The creative tweaks to basic menu items take the so called pub food to a new, delicious level. Definitely one of the most fun restaurants I've been to located in a hotel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Gastro-PubDukeParentDined on 3/24/2014The food was great and the service was excellent. They have a great menu of interesting "southern" foods and lots of beer on tap. The only negative was that they try to sit six at tables that really should be for 4 people. Luckly we only had 4 and we removed 2 of the chairs from the table. However, if there would have been 6 - the meal would have been extremely uncomfortable. The table next to us had some more average sized diners (for the south) and they could not fit at the table and had to be move to a place where two tables could be put together for the 6 of them. If this problem isn't fixed, I suspect it will keep a lot of people from coming back - regardless of how great the food and service are.
- Friday night recapauchris8Dined on 3/21/2014Great food, great service, great bar selections. My only complaint was that it was very hard to carry on a conversation as it was so loudSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Brother can you spare a half a trillion dollars
1: A crapload of bad debt even a debt collector wouldn't step in.
2: Zero, and by that i mean, whatever you have that is under a loan, mortgage or bought under the influence of credit and delusions of Meaningful Employement you lose and hand over when the company goes belly up and your forced to pay it all back now..and i mean, before the end of the weekend or its the property of the Banksters.
3: 4 Thousand dollars to well try to get your house in order so to financially speak.
Cause the reality is this, This isn't the first Bail-Out. But if we keep The Fed in charge it also won't be the last. Assuming everyone does not go and create Anarchy in the streets, its still at best probably going to get a bit ugly and that alone sucks. But the Banksters are gonna get 4000 dollars for every Man, Woman and Child over 18 in the USA.
Of course they are going to continue running the world and basically making about 275 times what even the best of us make, prior to the whole thing going to "Hell in a HandBasket" as my Grandmother would say. Somehow nobody is asking the REALLY TOUGH questions, like "how did you fuck this up yet again" or at least VERY FEW. Almost even worse the Wall Street Boys seem to refuse to even WANT to play if they have to take even the smallest of cuts in pay. Reality is different than the headlines though and this crash like all of the others since 1913 have been created under the "Ever watchful and all Seeing Eye" of the Federal Reserve System. Perhaps they should hire Madam Cleo, remember the TV Psychic commercials we used to all see? Trust me, she is Psychic, I'm sure she saw it coming. BUT just a few weeks ago and continually over the last year as every economist has been preaching doom and gloom we have continually been told, "Don't worry, everything is under *(-(-( OUR )-)-)* control, the economy isn't really weak its just kind of slow right now but there is absolutely no danger of a resession, no need to panic, move along, *(-(-(these are not the droids your looking for, you may go, move along.)-)-)*
Somehow typing that makes me think of the parrot sketch from Monty Python. Strange, but now back to our regular Programming...daadaaaddadadada deeeedeeedededededede ok so i cant do steve austin sound effects either.
Bet you didn't know they knew the Ancient Secret Jedi Mind Control Tricks did ya! Suckers, cause its working they caused this crash and somehow its a great idea for everyone to basically give them around 4 Grand. And... watch... its going to happen right in front of your eyes and if you blink your going to miss it. Kind of like the rigged games the Carnies talk you into playing. Somewhere in that transaction there is a wink or a nod or perhaps the "Secret Handshake" cause well hell Congress created the Fed in 1913, They are in on it too. Besides while your busy at home watching "dancing with the stars" they are playing a modified version of Cops and Robbers, There will be a few badguys rounded up and scolded and put up on stage under the bright lights, and we will hear how they were greedy and involved with cooking the books or funnelling millions to "as yet unknown or undisclosed offshore bank accounts". Somehow im prepared to hear the old standard "believed to be linked to Al Qaeda" BUT, Lucky for all of us. the FED queue the trumpetswill charge in on a big White Horse and like a Knight in Shiny Armor will save the day! Hurrah!!!!!
OR if you know Santa Claus also does not exist and him and the easter bunny do not in fact hang out in the off season in Cabo Wabo, you might decide to pickup a copy of "The Creature from Jekyll Island, a second look at the Federal Reserve" by G Edward Griffin. Flip to chapter 2 and begin reading the chapter entitled "The Name of the Game is BAIL OUT"

Competition draws Christians, conspiracy theorists.
SO, WHO WANTS TO COMPETE AGAINST THE LOCAL UTILITIES? In most of the country, potential competitors tend to fall into three categories...
government needs to determine why accessible Rockies gas is not getting to market. Even the lowering of the interest rate to levels not seen in 45 years is not boosting investments in this business.
Nonmanufacturing Demand Continues to Increase
Although the shutdown of fertilizer plants as a consequence of high natural gas prices is important, there is no surprise here. In 1998, fertilizer exports were double fertilizer imports. Today fertilizer imports are greater than exports. The importance of fertilizer production to the economy has been on the decline. As fertilizer and other chemical plants continue to shut down, this will reduce demand for natural gas and increase overall supplies, but the impact on price and on the economy will probably be modest.
Yet natural gas is the fuel of choice for new investments in power generation, and natural gas demand is expected to grow, though modestly and despite high prices, because of very efficient combined-cycle gas units.
Natural gas also is used to heat a majority of homes and commercial establishments in the United States. In the heating season months from November to March, volumes of natural gas sold and household bills can easily increase east of the Rockies fivefold from their level prior to the heating season. But that is only part of the picture.
Residential and commercial business customers are going to be greeted not only with continued high prices for the commodity but also increases in their cost of service from uncollectable bills and cost adjustments from past winters when prices soared. These costs will continue to surface in bills into the next year.
Moreover, it is not just the price customers pay for the commodity and for gas service that has increased significantly over the last several years, but the size of the housing market. The purchase of new, larger homes and the building of additions on existing homes means that costs of home heating would have increased for many consumers even without the large price increase for the commodity and standard gas service.
A clear view of the situation surfaced this past winter, when residential use of natural gas from November 2002 through January 2003 grew by almost 25 percent over the previous year. This increase was greater than expected and is a break from much of the past, when high prices inspired conservation and a reduction in consumer demand.
Heating season 2001/2002 was exceptionally mild. Hence volatile natural gas prices fell significantly and inventories of natural gas remained high relative to year-earlier levels. These inventories continued to build throughout the nonheating season in 2002. Accordingly, inventory supplies in November 2002 were very similar to levels in the previous year when they were quite high, and prices subsequently fell.
Plentiful supplies in storage in November 2002 should have caused some decline in price, so why didn't prices decline? Because there had been a fundamental increase in demand. The recent reported EIA consumption statistics for November 2002 through January 2003 indicate this. 8 Unless the weather turns out to be extraordinarily mild, with a cool summer and a

To many people, it seems odd to compare the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with the iPad Mini. How can a tablet PC be compared to a smartphone? If you take a closer look at the market, you'll see that tablets are getting smaller and smartphones larger. And this gives us a reason to compare both devices. Which one is right for you? Let's check out both devices and find out which one is the better choice.
Comparing the DISPLAY
The iPad Mini has a bigger display than the Samsung Galaxy Note at 7.9 inches. The display of the Note 2 is only 5.5 inches, but it has a super AMOLED HD display. It gives you a cinema-like experience. The iPad Mini, on the other hand, has an IPS LED screen and is perfect for users who want to enjoy stellar angles. When it comes to display, you should pick the Galaxy Note 2 if you want a clear display. If you want a widescreen, go with the iPad Mini.
Checking out the OPERATING SYSTEM
The iPad Mini has the iOS6, Apple's latest mobile platform. The device comes with Apple's new Maps app as well as Siri. However, unlike iPhone 5, you can't find an official YouTube app in the iPad Mini as it was removed from iOS6.
The Galaxy Note 2 has the Jelly Bean or the Android 4.1.1. An upgrade is also available, which is the 4.2.2. Since it runs on Android, you can access Google Play Store and enjoy seeing numerous apps, games, and media. The Play Store allows you to make the most out of your Note 2.
Appreciating the PROCESSOR
The iPad Mini has an A5 dual-core processor. It's the same processor that powers the iPad 2 as well as the iPhone 4S. The iPad Mini has incredible battery life and makes watching videos, playing games, surfing the web, and editing photos smooth.
The Note 2 also has an impressive processor – the quad-core Cortex-A9. It's the same processor used in the Samsung Galaxy S3. However, the clock speed of the Note's processor is faster. Thus, you are assured that web surfing will be fast. Even playing videos will be a great experience.
These two devices may be different in so many ways, yet they're both great choices. You can't go wrong if you decide to buy any of the two. Then again, even if they're both wonderful devices, there's one that's best for you. So if you are having a hard time making a choice, try to do a side-by-side comparison. Check as many features as you can. It's also best that you try to use both devices. It's going to cost you a substantial amount of money, so you might as well end up with the right one.

Second Confirmed Locally Acquired Dengue Case in Miami-Dade County
Contact: Olga Connor
Miami-Dade County Health Department Rosa Oses-Prealoni
(786) 336-1276
Mosquito-borne disease ALERT ISSUED FOR Miami-Dade COUNTY
--Second Confirmed Locally Acquired Dengue Case in Miami-Dade County--
Miami (November 16, 2012)-Today, Miami-Dade County Health Department Administrator Lillian Rivera, RN, MSN, PhD announced that the Florida Department of Health (DOH) has issued a mosquito-borne illness alert for Miami-Dade County. The second locally acquired Dengue Fever case in 2012 has been confirmed in an 82-year-old man.
Symptoms of Dengue Fever may include headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness, weakness, pain behind the eyes, joint pain, and confusion. Health care providers should contact their county health department if they suspect an individual may meet the case definition for a mosquito-borne illness. DOH laboratories provide testing services for health care providers treating patients with clinical signs of mosquito-borne disease.
DOH continues to advise the public to remain diligent in their personal mosquito protection efforts. These should include remembering �Drain and Cover�.
DRAIN standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying
Drain water from garbage cans, house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has collected.
Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren't being used.
Empty and clean birdbaths and pets' water bowls at least once or twice a week.
Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don't accumulate water.
Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.
COVER skin with clothing or repellent
� CLOTHING - Wear shoes, socks, and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.
1 REPELLENT - Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing.
� Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535 are effective.
1 Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
COVER doors and windows with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your house
Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches, and patios.
Tips on Repellent Use
Always read label directions carefully for the approved usage before you apply a repellent. Some repellents are not suitable for children.
Products with concentrations of up to 30 percent DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) are generally recommended. Other US Environmental Protection Agency-approved repellents contain Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. These products are generally available at local pharmacies. Look for active ingredients to be listed on the product label.
Apply insect repellent to exposed skin, or onto clothing, but not under clothing.
In protecting children, read label instructions to be sure the repellent is age-appropriate. According to the CDC, mosquito repellents containing oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under the age of three years. DEET is not recommended on children younger than two months old.
Avoid applying repellents to the hands of children. Adults should apply repellent first to their own hands and then transfer it to the child's skin and clothing.
If additional protection is necessary, apply a permethrin repellent directly to your clothing. Again, always follow the manufacturer's directions.
DOH continues to conduct statewide surveillance for mosquito borne illnesses, including West Nile virus infections, Eastern equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, malaria, and dengue.
You can contact the Miami-Dade County Health Department at 305-324-2400 or visit our web at www.dadehealth.org

SEO or search engine optimization is a very popular term among online businesses. It is a set of techniques to improve the website ranking in the Search Engine Result Page. Thousand and Millions of Bloggers and SEO service providers are connected with this trend. But beside with having countless options; they all use just a bunch of SEO icons and Symbols again and again.
In this post I have collected all those over used SEO icons and Symbols which really need to be updated. These SEO pictures are really very common to see in blogs and websites related to SEO. Some of these pictures demonstrate a particular message where as some really don't mean anything. But at the end; they all are superstars of SEO related pictures.
I ensure that you too will agree with my words after going through these websites. If you too are using these pictures again and again then I will recommend you to go for a change as these pictures can make a fresh content look old.
The Meaningless Diagram
This is one of the most common pictures that I had noticed on dozens of blogs and SEO websites. I tried my best to find out the logic behind these jumbled arrows but I couldn't find any correlation. May be this picture has been just an undefined creativity of an artist. Let's leave this mystery for the artist itself and just concentrate on the text which defines the different terms related to SEO.
The Multi-sized Keyword Cloud
Word clouds are an impressive way to decorate a webpage. The idea behind the use of word cloud for Keyword emphasizing is surely innovative and pretty much successful tool. No matter you give a deep view on every word but you will surely notice the word SEO, Engines, Target and Rank. These four words are enough to define the purpose of using this picture and hence the designer deserves a chocolate.
The Person Writing Keywords on a Clear Wall
I think this guy is writing the things for a long time and actually for different companies; this picture is surely a commonly found. Moreover it perfectly symbolizes the terms related to the SEO technology and hence it is a nice stock picture to be used.
The Puzzle Piece
This is one of my favorite pictures; it perfectly states the importance of SEO in an online business. An online business can't attain the maximum potential by ignoring the SEO perspectives. Although this picture has been edited by different other classes but it perfectly suited for the SEO only.
The Magnifying Glass
Zooming the SEO term in a word cloud is a nice try to grab the viewer's attention. This concept of zooming the subject has been tweaked by related ideas like binocular zooming; long vision and much more. I guess every SEO blogger must have used or noticed this picture frequently.
The 3-D Rendered Character
A 3D model arranging the SEO; a cool attempt to deliver the message right! This stock picture is used by many of the SEO service providers. It signifies the help to build better SEO for a business.
The Brand Name Abuser
A picture containing different search engines and social networking hubs can't clear the message by itself. If you are preparing your mind to use this kind of picture on your website then make a knot that your end-users may not have any knowledge about Alexa, Bing, Tumblr, Flickr and many other SEO resources.
The Bullseye
Bullseye is the next contestant in the list. This picture is used by many of the renowned SEO service provider. I am not sure but I conclude that this picture indicates to target a specific keyword or class of customers to get the maximum output.
The Chain
SEO chain undoubtedly signifies link building and that can of course boost your website rank in SERP. This stock picture is popular among SEO blogs and articles. This concept is not something 'out of the box' but it is still eye catching and informative.
The Chart
When I look at this picture I remember my Math's class during my school days. This pie chart shows an increasing website ranking in SERP. This is an impressive attempt of SEO service providers to attract the clients.
These all images related to SEO are so common right? Do you know any other image that deserves to be in this list? You are welcome to share that in the input box provided below. You can also tell your favorite or most used image from this collection.

I think we've established that I don't send cards. Not generally, though if I want to send you something, I'll make a card to go with it. But birthdays? Nah, not gonna happen.
So I need to send someone a check (yes, I still write checks, and yes, most businesses still take them, and no, I am not a Luddite, though I've been called that) ... where was I ... oh, yes: I need to send someone a check, so I needed to make a card to go with it. This is what I made:
I don't know what I was thinking, but ... let's just say this card evolved into its current state. First, I decided I needed to use one of the buttons I got recently at Mike's. That drove my color scheme, such as it is. Next I selected THE most detailed die I could find to make the branch. It would have been much easier to use a branch WITH LEAVES on it, but noooooo, I chose one where you have to die-cut all the leaves. Don't get me wrong - I like how it turned out, but I really wasn't planning on spending that much time on the branch. And leaves.
Now that I look at the owl, it looks like she's wearing a ruffle-bottom swim suit, the kind Grandma used to wear. Sigh.
This card started out on a white base, but it was very meh, so I cut it down and put it onto a Hero Arts Blush card base instead. When I cut it down, I also hacked off some leaves, and they looked dumb here, so I die-cut some more leaves and stuck them on so they slop over the edge of the white panel.
Please note: When using the metal shim with your Big Shot, it's important to ensure the cutting side of your die is facing the paper you intend to cut, and not the metal shim. It leaves a really, really deep impression in the metal shim. Ask me how I know. :(
Once again, the sequins stand in for where I'd put a sun to fill that big empty in the upper right.
For my last act, I added some Black Enamel Accents to her eyes, mostly because Kathy Racoosin told me to, and she is always right about these things. I think it really does make the eyes look better. :)
The more I look at this card, the more I think it's wrong for the intended recipient. Guess I'll start over, but this one is a keeper. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Products used: clearbags.com white linen card, button from Mike's, SU white baker's twine, Neat & Tangled Summer Sun sequins, and the following:

Sometimes they just take on a life of their own, don't they? I think the owl's ruffled swimsuit is adorable and you did a great job with that branch and all of those leaves!

Unexpectedly our first daughter Alexandra was diagnosed with a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis. We came to find out that Cystic Fibrosis is the most lethal genetic disorder in America today. Doctors strongly recommended we keep her out of daycare for her long-term health, so we decided it was best I come home to be with her. Previously, I was as a Corporate Recruiter in the financial industry, and my husband was in the Construction Management field, so we definitely had a two-income lifestyle. As we went down to one income, we began living paycheck-to-paycheck, and accumulating quite a bit of debt. We knew there had to be a legitimate way to add some extra income to our household on a monthly basis, so we started our search and quickly came across this Team and Company. We were so excited to get started~ although we had never tried anything from home in the past, we set the goal to replace my previous income from home as soon as possible. In about a year we achieved that goal, and since have replaced my husband ' s income to bring him home full-time so we can work alongside our two girls. We now earn a multiple six-figure income, and Dan has been able to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a Firefighter. This company has provided a tremendous amount of freedom to our family: financial freedom, debt freedom, but more importantly, we've been able to help so many others achieve their dreams and goals of earning an income from home. We are truly living the life of our dreams!

There was no small amount of irony in a crackdown at Wednesday's Elections Committee hearing on House Joint Resolution 3.
When Chairman Milo Smith, R-Columbus, warned protesters in the gallery to stop displaying a silent thumbs-down to comments, one man responded – silently – with a thumbs down.
Smith ordered Capitol Police to remove the man, who turned out to be Staff Sgt. Scott Spychala, an Air Force veteran.
"I spent 20 years defending the U.S. Constitution," Spychala told John Krull of Franklin College's Statehouse File. "I spent 20 years defending the Indiana Constitution."
Spychala said he thought his service would have earned him the right to quietly express his opinion on the proposed constitutional amendment.
And we think he's right.

Glaucoma affects 250,000 Canadians – but only half of them know that they have it. Since early detection and treatment is essential to prevent severe vision loss or blindness, CNIB needed to raise awareness about glaucoma and the importance of screening.
With the Eye Remember campaign, we had the opportunity to engage Canadians around glaucoma in a unique way – through an online photo contest – while at the same time providing credible, easy-to-understand information that would enable people to care for their eyes and prevent unnecessary vision loss. We also had the opportunity to educate the general public about glaucoma, and encourage Canadians to visit a free CNIB glaucoma screening clinic in their community. All of this information was on the website Edelman developed – www.eyeremember.ca and www.laprunelledemesyeux.ca.
Eye Remember involved a carefully planned and phased approach over a period of five months with a number of program components, including: glaucoma omnibus survey; contest and media launch; submission of photo entries; updated information online about free community glaucoma screening clinics and local media outreach; and finally, voting by celebrity judges and the general public on the top-five entries and announcing the winner locally.
A successful media strategy with a phased approach, coupled with survey results, effective spokespeople and an interesting contest, helped generate 217 media hits and 40,318,407 media impressions. A $0.002 cost-per-contact was also achieved, with an MRP Quality Score of 84.45 per cent. Finally, participation in the campaign exceeded expectations, with 128 national contest entries, resulting in 13,064 website visits and 4,192 votes cast.
As a result of the Eye Remember campaign, whether it was by submitting a photo, casting a vote or participating in one of CNIB's free glaucoma screening clinics across the country, CNIB and Canadians helped raise awareness about the dangers of glaucoma – and helped many Canadians improve their vision health. Qualitatively, the campaign also raised the profile of CNIB, whose mission it is to be Canada's leader in promoting vision health.

Getting started
UL encourages manufacturers to involve our testing certification staff as early as the product development stage.
We recommend that manufacturers start with a preliminary investigation to determine the status of compliance to the appropriate requirements. This approach helps avoid major modifications - such as change in materials or design that delay the product's time to market.
During the preliminary investigation, we evaluate whether the construction, design and materials comply with the relevant standard(s). The deliverable of the preliminary investigation is a detailed report, identifying the non-compliant materials and design based upon the requirements. This service provides the manufacturer with the opportunity to rectify any non-compliant issues prior to the formal certification submittal.
As part of the preliminary investigation we can also provide:
- Gap analysis
- Material suitability
- Design review for certification
After the preliminary investigation has been conducted, manufacturers have a better idea what is needed to prepare for the formal certification.
Additional resources
- Download additional info material
- Product Categories (Category Control Numbers - CCN) for regulators and utilities

I bought these in both colors to see which one would look best on me and chose the blue. I absolutely love them! I get complements on them all the time and I certainly don't see anyone else with them on.

WASHINGTON - In response to industry plans to develop eucalyptus plantations across the US South, environmental groups are raising serious concerns about the impacts of eucalyptus plantations on forests, rural communities, wildlife and the climate - especially if those trees are genetically engineered.
EcoGen, LLC recently announced plans to develop eucalyptus plantations in southern Florida to feed biomass facilities. Additionally, South Carolina-based ArborGen has requested USDA permission to sell billions of genetically engineered cold tolerant eucalyptus trees for plantations in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. The USDA is expected to respond to this request in the coming months.
Eucalyptus trees are documented as an invasive pest in California and Florida. But because they cannot grow in sub-freezing temperatures, they have been engineered to be cold-tolerant, enabling them to survive temperatures down to 20°f - vastly expanding their range.
Besides being highly invasive - the Charlotte Observer called them "the kudzu of the 2010s" - eucalyptus plantations deplete ground water and can even worsen droughts. The US Forest Service opposes GE eucalyptus plantations due to their impact on ground water and streams.
"GE eucalyptus trees are a disaster waiting to happen - it is critical the USDA rejects them," said Global Justice Ecology Project Executive Director Anne Petermann. "In addition to being invasive, eucalyptus trees are explosively flammable. In a region that has been plagued by droughts in recent years, developing plantations of an invasive, water-greedy and fire-prone tree is foolhardy and dangerous."
Petermann coordinates the international STOP GE Trees Campaign [5], which has collected thousands of signatures supporting a ban on GE trees due to their potentially catastrophic impacts on communities and forests.
"The forests of the Southeast are some of the most biodiverse in the world," said Scot Quaranda, Campaign Director of Asheville, NC-based Dogwood Alliance. "They contain species found nowhere else. Species like the Louisiana Black Bear, the golden-cheeked warbler and the red-cockaded woodpecker are already endangered. Eucalyptus plantations could push these and other species over the edge," he added.
Genetically Engineered Trees for Bioenergy Pose Major Threat to Southern Forests

CHICAGO -- Already recognized as the Big Ten Conference's top running back and as the league's top offensive player, Montee Ball's status as the best player in the Big Ten was made official on Friday.
Ball was named winner of the 2011 Chicago Tribune Silver Football, which has been bestowed upon the Big Ten's best player since 1924. To do so, Ball beat out his own teammate, senior quarterback Russell Wilson, who finished second in the voting of league coaches.
Michigan State senior quarterback Kirk Cousins was the other finalist.
Ball was named on the ballots of all 11 eligible coaches -- excluding UW's Bret Bielema, as coaches cannot vote for their own players -- and received four first-place place votes and seven second-place nods.
Wilson split the coaches' first-place votes, also receiving four on the heels of a remarkable season that saw him become just the fourth Big Ten quarterback to pass for more than 30 touchdowns. He did not receive any second-place votes, however, providing the margin by which Ball won the award.
Ball, who leads the nation with 1,759 rushing yards and 38 total touchdowns, is the eighth Wisconsin player to win the Silver Football, and the first since Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne in 1999. Ball is also the Badgers' first Heisman finalist since Dayne took the trophy.
The Wentzville, Mo., native stands just one touchdown shy of matching the all-time Football Bowl Subdivision record of 39 set by Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State in 1988. Ball has scored multiple touchdowns in an NCAA-record 13 straight games and has posted three or more TDs eight times this season.
Ball leads the nation with 32 rushing touchdowns, while his average of 135.3 yards per game ranks No. 4 nationally. He has carried the ball 275 times this season at an average of 6.4 yards per carry.
In addition to his work on the ground, Ball has recorded 20 receptions for 255 yards and six touchdowns. He has also completed both of his pass attempts this season, including a touchdown strike to Wilson.
The Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, Ball also was the winner of the Big Ten's inaugural Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year Award this season.
Both Ball and offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler were named to the Walter Camp All-America second team, which was announced as part of The Home Depot College Football Awards show on Thursday.
Ball also was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, which is presented to the nation's top running back and went to Alabama's Trent Richardson.
In addition to their Walter Camp honors, both Ball and Zeitler previously earned All-America nods from the American Football Coaches Association and CBSSports.com.
The Heisman Trophy will be presented live on ESPN in a ceremony at 7 p.m. Saturday.

NFL gaffe puts Pro Bowlers in jerseys donning pre-2003 Lions logoPosted by on January 28, 2013 – 2:46 pm
The NFL fined 49ers running back Frank Gore $10,500 for wearing his socks too low in the NFC Championship Game.
The league is notoriously strict when it comes to enforcing its dress code. Detroit Lions receiver Nate Burleson was fined $5,000 last season for not showing white in his socks during a Monday Night game.
For a league so obsessed with its uniform, it was funny to see Ndamukong Suh and Don Muhlbach wearing a pre-2003 Detroit Lions logo on their Pro Bowl jerseys Sunday night.
That's two logos ago for those who are curious.
The NFL is solely responsible for the jerseys players wear every time they step on the field. The team does no alterations to the uniform.
It's unclear if the league plans on fining itself for the gaffe.

Lions re-sign long snapper Don Muhlbach to one-year dealPosted by on March 21, 2012 – 2:46 pm
The Lions have re-signed long snapper Don Muhlbach to a one-year contract.
Muhlbach entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2004 and has spent his entire career with the Lions. He became the team's full-time long snapper in 2006 and the signing was important for the continued success of the special teams units.
Muhlbach is one of the league's most consistent long snappers. Kicker Jason Hanson is quick to mention his name anytime he's asked about his success over recent years.

Lions without four starters at practice WednesdayPosted by on December 21, 2011 – 1:25 pm
The Lions were without four starters at practice Wednesday as they continued on-field preparations for Saturday's Christmas Eve game against the Chargers at Ford Field.
Safety Louis Delmas, defensive tackle Corey Williams, right tackle Gosder Cherilus and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch did not participate in the portion of practice open to the media.
Vanden Bosch is typically given a day of rest on Wednesday.
The official injury report will be released at 4 p.m.
Also not practicing for the Lions Wednesday were: defensive tackle Nick Fairley, safety Chris Harris and corner Don Carey.
Fairley practiced Tuesday. He said two weeks ago, though, that rest could be part of his weekly regiment going forward as he continues to deal with a foot injury.
Both Harris and Carey did not practice Tuesday.
Long snapper Don Muhlbach was back practicing Wednesday after missing Tuesday.
Corner Aaron Berry (shoulder), corner Chris Houston (knee) and defensive end Lawrence Jackson (thigh bruise) continue to practice this week.

Still no Louis Delmas at Lions practicePosted by on December 20, 2011 – 1:43 pm
Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Monday that all of his 53 players would be "in the mix to play this week" when the Chargers come to Ford Field on Saturday.
That means none of the injuries the Lions are dealing with are long-term.
However, there were still a number of players missing from Tuesday's first practice of the week.
Safety Louis Delmas, who had arthroscopic knee surgery on Saturday, did not practice.
Delmas didn't travel to Oakland and hasn't played since hurting the knee against the Packers on Thanksgiving.
Also not participating in the portion of practice open to the media were: defensive tackle Corey Williams, safety Chris Harris, corner Don Carey and long snapper Don Muhlbach.
Corner Aaron Berry practiced for the first time since separating his right shoulder against the Vikings Dec. 11 and to part in individual drills.
Berry still looks to be favoring that right shoulder some, though.
Corner Chris Houston, who started against Oakland Sunday but was replaced by Alphonso Smith, was participating in practice.
Defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch got his usual day of rest to begin the workweek.
Fellow defensive end Lawrence Jackson took part in his second practice since suffering a thigh bruise against the Bears back in November.
Running back Kevin Smith (high ankle sprain) practiced and looked fine.
There will be no official injury report released by the team today.

Lions Bring in Long SnapperPosted by on December 17, 2009 – 9:56 pm
With the uncertainty of LS Don Muhlbach's status for this Sunday's game against the Cardinals after suffering a concussion last week at Baltimore, the Lions signed LS Nathan Hodel to step in, in case Muhlback is unable to play.
Schwartz: "It's in case (Muhlbach) isn't able to go on Sunday. We needed to wait as long as we could to make that move and we did. It still doesn't shut the door on (Muhlbach), there's still a possibility that he'll be able to go but we just wanted to make sure that if he wasn't, we'd have somebody who had been practicing and was ready to go that we could pull the trigger on rather than bringing a guy in who never worked with the punter or the placekicker before."
While the long snapper position often goes unnoticed, it serves a crucial role and can make or break a kick.
Schwartz: "Well, everybody always looks at the placekicker but the snapper and the holder are every bit just as important. Snap, hold, protection when you have field goals and for the punter, the location of the ball is huge and the velocity of the ball is huge. Those guys are unsung heroes. If they make good snaps nobody knows about the, but if they make bad snaps, it's painfully obvious. It's a very, very important part of the team."
