TE has become a glamor position, but Marc Trestman says Bears aren't needy

A closer look at the top tight ends in the 2013 draft class:
TYLER EIFERT, Notre Dame, jr., 6-5, 250 pounds
College career: 134 receptions, 1,779 yards, 11 TDs, 13.3 yards per catch.
Quote: ''[My strengths are] my ability to catch the ball in traffic, make contested catches, get down the field and create mismatches, understand an offense [and] being able to be moved around in different positions.''
ZACH ERTZ, Stanford,
jr., 6-6, 252 pounds
College career: 109 receptions, 1,373 yards, 15 TDs, 12.6 yards per catch.
Quote: ''At Stanford, we were a run-first offense. We started with the power-running game, and I took a lot of pride in my run-blocking. As a receiver, that stuff kind of came more naturally.''

INDIANAPOLIS — Five years in the Canadian Football League, where the tight end is virtually nonexistent, doesn't mean Bears coach Marc Trestman is unfamiliar with the ascendance of the position in the NFL.
"Teams are just trying to maximize the tight end in different ways," Trestman said during the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. "And [the position] certainly has a place in football."
But Trestman won't call adding a big, athletic tight end who's more of receiver than a blocker a cure-all for the Bears' offense. In the offense he's devising, Trestman said a tight end isn't "an entire need."
"The offense is set up to where we can put people in different places, and they can take on that role," Trestman said. "It wouldn't matter whether we had three tight ends, four tight ends, four wide [with] one tight end. We feel like we want to get the best players on the field to maximize what we can do athletically, but also put players in positions where we can create matchups and opportunities.
"We can do that with a number of different personnel groupings. The tight-end groupings are certainly one of them, but they're not a panacea for the offense. They don't have to be an entire need. But to have different body types certainly helps offenses."
Still, that won't prevent the Bears from looking at tight ends Zach Ertz (Stanford) and Tyler Eifert (Notre Dame) at the combine.
The Bears have ranked last in receptions by tight ends the last two seasons, making an upgrade via the draft or free agency a real possibility. Ertz and Eifert are aware that teams such as the Bears might be interested in them, especially with how tight ends are changing offenses and burning defenses these days.
It's possible that Ertz and Eifert — the only tight ends projected to go in the first round — will be available when the Bears step to the podium with the 20th pick.
''I think seeing what all those tight ends do and all those things they've been doing is very neat," said Ertz, who had a scheduled interview with the Bears. "You see [Saints tight end] Jimmy Graham out there against corners all the time, and just seeing what he does is very impressive. It's something that I just hope I can do at that same level."
Ertz and Eifert come from college programs that have histories of producing NFL-caliber tight ends. Some teams have eyed Ertz because he comes from a pro-style offense and was used in a three-point stance and split wide. Eifert, meanwhile, has spent ample time working on his blocking, which is "what everyone said [I] was lacking."
But without question, it's the mismatches that Eifert (6-5, 250 pounds) and Ertz (6-6, 252 pounds) can create in the passing game that has gained the most attention.
"I'm lucky to be coming in at a time where the type of tight end that I am is being used quite a bit," Eifert said. "I strive to be a complete tight end."
Thanks to an influx of such juniors as Ertz and Eifert, the tight-end class immensely improved depth-wise and could affect the Bears' draft board when it comes to ranking tight ends against offensive linemen and linebackers, two other areas of need.
General manager Phil Emery said the team will take a player who can contribute the most immediately.
"Last year, we were in a very similar spot, and we had about seven players on the board we felt good about," Emery said. "We took one of them [defensive end Shea McClellin]. As we work through this process, I assume that number will be about seven to 10 that we feel good about. We'll find the best player who can help us win now."

Not sure whether to post this at the losing fat or bb section, so i'm sorry if this is the wrong section! I have another thread on the general section (will delete if double posting is inappropriate)
For the past 11 weeks, i have been doing HIIT/interval and minimal of swimming/p90x/gym (like once a week). Cardio is my main exercise.
This is what i have been doing for 3-4x/week:
warm up- 400m light paced jog (about 4-5min)
20s sprint, 40s jog repeat for 15 times (15min)
light paced jog for 10mins
1 min sprint and 1 min light paced jog for 5 time (10min)
My main goal when i started exercising was to lose my thighs. Sure, i have lost some weight and fats around my thighs but my upper body is losing more than my lower body. I look kinda in-proportional now, smaller face, smaller upper body but larger lower body. I'm concern on whether i'm doing it right. Even though i lost around 7 kg, i feel that those were my muscles. I read that too much cardio will eat your muscles (need some light here!) but I want to keep my muscles as they help to burn fats faster! I do my HIIT in the morning on empty stomach. Is there anything i should have before/after my session?
Also, i noticed that when i cut my carbs, i lost weight even faster but is it safe to just get carbs indirectly from other food instead of rice and sweet potato?
I'm a female.
Weight: ~57kg when i started and now ~50kg.
Height: 156 - 158cm (last time i measured was 2 years ago so yeah...)
Food: mainly chicken breast, salmon, eggs, tofu, sweet potato, yams, broccoli, spinach, mushroom.
Question: 1)Should i continue with what i am doing (HIIT) or start lifting and stop HIIT or do both HIIT and lift?
2) What should i have for my pre and post meal? Will having proper nutrition minimize my muscle loss during HIIT?
I want to continue to lose my thighs but at the same time maintain my upper body so i dont look weird. Please advise. Please share some workout routine, links/guide will be much appreciated!
Your advice is greatly appreciated, thank you! Sorry for such a long post..
I will include more details if needed.

Comments: Living Sea Aquarium is a large store (spanning more than 1/2 a neighborhood block) that features a large freshwater selection varying from week to week (including discus and cichlids), it has 3 brackish water aquariums (puffers, mollies, gobies, eels, scats, monos, and archers), a very large saltwater part (about 1/2 of the store with corals, inverts, fish, live rock, live sand, etc.), a shark lagoon (with over 3 sharks), a saltwater tidepool, a saltwater curved tank (built onto the ground in a "C" shape with fish such as puffers and cowfish), a 100 gallon tank (with many large saltwater fish), a stingray/arrowana pond, a stingray lagoon (with over 5 stingrays), a 1000 gallon saltwater tank (with a large moray eel), a 100 gallon cylinder tank, a small selection of reptiles and amphibians (including freshwater crabs, geckos, swifts, frogs/toads, anoles, newts, and hermit crabs), a koi pond, a turtle pond, and a aquarium showroom. They can special order fish /corals /supplies /reptiles /etc, they do water tests, they have guarantees on their fish, they can do maintenece and set-ups, and have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff (that includes me).
Living Sea Aquarium has installed the saltwater tanks in all Rainforest Cafes in Chicago that have a saltwater tank and have set-up many larger tanks privately and commercially.
The only bad thing about the store is that it is a bit pricey when it comes to supplies and reptiles becuase they usually buy them in small quantities, the only have one store, and have to pay bigger taxes than in many places, making it more expensive (whereas stores like Petco and Petsmart buy bulk for all of their stores, not just one usually, and are usually located near bigger cities, not suburbs)

Sustainability, the industry buzz-word, has now made its way into the discussions on USDA's 2015 diet guidelines, creating a bit of an industry stir and opening up some questions on the actual purpose of the guidelines.
USDA issues new dietary guidelines every five years, traditionally based on sound science, but the next release may have a twist, with USDA telling Americans to not just follow good diets, but also pay attention to how their food is grown.
The sixth meeting of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, made up of a 14-member panel appointed by the Department of Health and Human Services, was held Friday, Nov. 7. The committee has been taking into consideration a number of comments on the future guidelines, including the sustainability topic.
"The process and the guidelines themselves were intended to form the basis for federal food and nutrition programs like subsidized school lunches, but also to provide science-based diet advice to all Americans," DTN's Washington Insider wrote.
"Last July, however, the latest committee draft emerged that suggests, once again, that Americans reduce their consumption of meat and dairy and eat more plantbased foods. In addition, it shocked observers by citing studies claiming that lowering meat consumption would cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the contribution the United States makes to climate change."
The most recent meeting, however, did not include topics of sustainability. There will be more opportunities in the future, as the next and final meeting of the committee will be held on Dec. 17. No agenda yet exists for the topics of discussion.
According to the committee's timeline, a report will be issued to the secretaries of Health and Human Services, and the USDA sometime after that final meeting and March of 2015. The report and recommended dietary guidelines will then be made available for public comment. Comments will be reviewed and the eighth edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans will be published sometime in summer of 2015.
The new potential sustainability focus of America's diet takes on a whole new look.
"A dietary pattern that is higher in plant-based food and lower in animal-based foods is more health-promoting and is associated with lesser environmental impacts—energy, land, and water use—than the current average American diet," Miriam Nelson, a Tufts University nutrition professor who chairs the advisory panel's subcommittee on food sustainability and safety, said at an earlier committee meeting.
The "sustainability" twist is drawing opposition from a number of areas.
According to DTN's Washington Insider, the House Appropriations Committee instructed Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who is responsible for approving the final guidelines along with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell, to make sure the committee doesn't "pursue an environmental agenda."
Groups, such as the Center for Biological Diversity, are jumping on the "sustainable" band wagon, in hopes to curb America's love of animalbased proteins. In its public comments letter to USDA, the group cites three studies, claiming the only way to have a sustainable diet is to eat less meat.
"Meanwhile, Americans eat more than two times the global average of meat and nearly two times the daily recommended intake by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines are an opportunity to discuss sustainable eating in a meaningful way and make sustainable plant-based options more widely available as a staple of the American diet by calling for reduced meat and dairy consumption," the group wrote.
While the debate continues, the beef industry is involved in the discussion, hoping to steer talks back to nutrition—the original purpose of the guidelines.
"This Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee that Secretary Vilsack is charged with reining in is certainly being pushed toward positions that advocates will have considerable difficulty justifying on the basis of science and possibly could place the overall Dietary Guideline effort at risk in the near future," DTN's Washington Insider wrote.
Many people use the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to gauge the health of their diets.
Most don't realize that the guidelines are primarily written for policymakers, not consumers, and are designed as a tool to drive health and wellness on a broad scale.
As the 2015 version of the guidelines is being developed, Ohio State University's Food Innovation Center has organized a summit for food industry representatives, academics, decision-makers and others "to have a highlevel conversation on food and health," said Julie Manning, Executive Manager of the center and summit organizer.
"The New Dietary Guidelines for Americans: Preparing for the 2015 Release" will be held from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Nov. 20 at Ohio State's Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center, 2110 Tuttle Park Place, on the Columbus campus. Among the speakers at the summit will be current and former members of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
"The 2015 guidelines may be the first version that actually addresses food behavior, dietary patterns and sustainability," Manning said.
"For example, if the guidelines recommend that people eat a certain amount of fish, well, we don't have enough fish on the planet to meet that goal. That's when you look to the academic community, particularly the food scientists, and the food industry to ask where else are we going to get these essential nutrients in the diet?" While summit speakers can't discuss specifics about the 2015 guidelines, Manning said, the discussion by leading health and nutrition experts will explore the current American diet and the role the guidelines have in potentially revolutionizing preventive health care.
Registration for the event is $200, with discounts for public sector employees and Ohio State faculty and staff. Organizers also are arranging for live streaming for participants unable to attend in person, Manning said. For more details or to register for the event, see DGAsummit. com. — Traci Eatherton, WLJ Editor

|David Atkins
|Steve Martin, Helena Bonham Carter, Laura Dern
|Film, Drama
Six degrees of whatever not withstanding, Kevin Bacon really is an underheralded natural acting resource. In Novocaine, Bacon is sidesplitting as a head-up-his-rear Method actor researching a cop role by interrogating dentist/possible murderer Frank Sangster (Steve Martin). Alas, Bacon's turn is a mere cameo stuck in the tone-deaf cacophony of director/co-writer's David Atkins' helming debut, a stultifying serio-comic, quasi-Lynchian, noirlike something-or-other. Novocaine presents Frank as a meek suburban tooth-jobber who, despite a saucy relationship with the scrumptious if pathologically co-dependent Jean (Laura Dern), falls for just-plain-pathological dope fiend/con artist Susan (Helena Bonham Carter). Murder, career destruction, the discovery that the suburbs have a dark side, and weird computer-assisted camerawork result. As with his equally genre-jumbling script for Arizona Dreaming, Atkins shows a flair for strangeness, but his best effects are neutered by a scenario that jumps styles like adrenalized hobos jumping trains, and by a dauntingly self-immersive Martin.

Cook Time:
10 mins

Description: neither thick nor thin, big flavor, traditional chili flavor, 4-alarm on a 1-5 alarm scale. If you like 10 or 12 drops of Tabasco on a big plate of spaghetti, this chili is fine for you, but it's not so hot that your eyeballs are going to pop out. This chili began as a clean-out-the-refrigerator recipe but I did apply my considerable chili knowledge to the dish by manipulating the flavor with certain key herbs and spices. I didn't just dump in everything in other words. I'm compelled to say that I was very happy with the end result. For one thing, it doesn't taste like all my other chilis. No, this one is much more traditional in flavor with plenty of good heat. But when you STOP eating it, your mouth does not remain really hot. Just right, if you like a good spicy chili. I think the salsa verde is the key ingredient. This chili would be especially good for a Superbowl party or for brunch on a day of deep snow and goofing off. There is very little labor involved in this one. It will be too hot for the kids though. One final caution: do not add salt to this recipe. There is plenty of salt in the bouillon and other ingredients. Enjoy this very special chili my friends!

Trendy fusion or not, I just love this paper cloth. I started with Beryl Taylor's Layer By Layer download; and by the end of this book I've so far made 9 yards of paper cloth, one fat-quarter at a time. I can't get enough.
My one complaint: for a book I return to again and again, I'd love it to stand up to use. I've only had it a month, and it's already falling apart.

This is possibly the best mixed media book I have ever purchased . Usually I can read thru these ebooks in a short time, this one has taken me days and I am still going. There are so many different techniques to look at and so much to learn. Congrats on a fabulous book, I can't recommend it highly enough. I believe this will be my mixed media bible and I will be looking things up many times in the future. Jennine in Brisbane.

one of the bases shorted out every time we put two light bulbs in. The other three bases worked fine. You will need to purchase fuses if there are any issues with the bases.
We used the numbers for the promenade as decorations. We had rave reviews from parents and students alike on how the field house was decorated for this event.
We will be setting it up for use during the graduation ceremony as well.
We used blue lights in the bases to incorporate the school colors. They looked spectacular!

During the match, the Rams shot 62-percent from long range, knocking down 5 out of 8 three-point attempts, including three made by junior guard Christina Merrill of Levittown. Merrill finished with a team-high 14 points, while senior guard Nicky Young from
Queens, totaled 12 points, three assists and three steals. Junior guard Camille Romero also dished off six assists and Freshman forward Chelsea May from Baldwin totaled eight points and two rebounds.
Farmingdale State held a 12-2 lead over the first five minutes and led by as many as 16 points during the first half. The Rams led 31-19 at the break, behind 11 points, five rebounds and three steals from senior guard Nicky Young from Queens. In the second,
Farmingdale increased their held to 26 over the first four minutes and held the Cougars scoreless until the 13-minute mark.
For Medgar Evers, sophomore guard Nia Tompkins (Queens, N.Y.) tallied a game-high 16 points and five rebounds. Freshman center Kimonia Mullings (Queens, N.Y.) pulled down a game-high 10 boards along with eight points.

Although pharmaceutical companies traditionally look to Republican allies in Congress to champion patent protection and product
exclusivity, GOP leaders still are smarting over PhRMA's support for Obama's healtchare plan. As part of its investigation
into HHS implementation of healthcare reform, House E&C Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R–MI) is looking hard at the "secret
negotiations" between the White House and healthcare interest groups, including pharmaceutical companies, leading to enactment
of the reform legislation. E&C Committee Republicans complained in a Feb. 18, 2011 letter to White House Aide Nancy-Ann DeParle
(formerly head of the White House Office of Health Reform) that instead of the open and transparent debate on healthcare legislation
that Obama had promised, deals were made behind closed doors with providers, drug companies, and others.
Upton and his colleagues are scrutinizing the HHS process for determining whether states and healthcare providers and payers
should receive waivers from complying with specific ACA rules, a process they believe indicates widespread problems associated
with implementing the reform law. The E&C Committee also wants to know more about HHS support for establishing state-based
insurance exchanges and for developing new rules governing insurers, including standards for "essential benefits" that will
shape medical and drug coverage.
In addition to hauling administration officials up to Capitol Hill to explain their actions, Congress is moving forward with
efforts to revise portions of the ACA, after failing in January to repeal the legislation. In the low-hanging fruit department,
Democrats and Republicans agree on the need to repeal the 1099 reporting policy, a burdensome rule that requires businesses
to report to the IRS any expenditure over $600—a requirement that has little to do with healthcare. President Obama has signaled
support for killing the program, but the challenge is to find the $22 billion or so needed over the next 10 years to offset
potential revenue gains from the policy.
President Obama and Congressional leaders also are eyeing medical-liability reform as a way to reduce spending on unnecessary
healthcare services incurred as a defense against malpractice charges. A bill recently approved by the House Judiciary Committee
would cap noneconomic and punitive damages, limit the time for filing suits and curb attorneys' contingency fees. Such proposals
face considerable opposition from lawyers and some patient advocates, yet Obama expressed interest in revising malpractice
policy in his State of the Union speech and included $250 million in his 2012 budget plan to support grants to help states
rewrite their malpractice laws and establish health courts. Reform could move forward if there's clear evidence that damage
caps would save money by reducing defensive medicine and other costs.
But there's little bipartisan support for improving ACA implementation. President Obama recently voiced support for legislation
that permits states to opt out of exchanges and the individual mandate, provided the state can devise alternative ways to
cover more uninsured individuals. Although this action was considered a major concession by ACA supporters, Republicans
labeled it a "fig leaf" that didn't increase local choices.
The battle continues over Republican efforts to limit federal spending overall. Policymakers avoided a government shutdown
in early March by agreeing to a short-term fix on funding the federal government for the current (2011) fiscal year. But Republicans
still demanded some $100 billion in cuts for this year, as well as curbs on many ACA provisions, including individual coverage
requirements, medical-loss ratio rules, health insurance exchanges, and Medicaid expansion plans.
Critics also are looking to eliminate a number of entities established by ACA, but seen by Republicans as examples of a federal
government over-reach into state and private sector activities. Although health prevention has broad appeal, Republicans want
to dissolve the Prevention and Public Health Fund, which is supposed to dispense some $15 billion over 10 years to support
state and local prevention and health initiatives. This prevention "slush fund," say Republicans, is excessive—and its resources
could be tapped to offset the cost of repealing the 1099 IRS reporting requirement.
Republicans also don't see a need to spend $10 billion over 10 years to fund the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation
(CMMI), which was established by ACA to support research and testing of reimbursement and coverage approaches for Medicare
and other health programs. There's also skepticism among Republicans about federal investment in comparative effectiveness
research (CER), when private plans and local organizations have funded technology assessment on their own. Some Republicans
would like to shutter the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and use its $500 million a year in appropriated
funds for other purposes. Pharma companies generally support development of standards and policies for CER research, but probably
won't expend much effort fighting to preserve PCORI.
There's not much good news for the pharmaceutical industry regarding the battle to repeal and revise healthcare reform. Manufacturers
already are paying stiffer Medicaid rebates and absorbing 50% discounts on drugs for Medicare Part D beneficiaries caught
in the coverage gap. The IRS is establishing rules for collecting some $2 to $3 billion in new industry taxes beginning this
year, based on company sales of branded drugs. At the same time, more onerous legislation is on the table. Once again, there
is bipartisan support for a Senate bill to permit reimportation of high-cost medicines from Canada. And Democrats want to
eliminate tax deductions for direct-to-consumer advertising.

When you've covered a topic long enough, you get the idea you've heard it all. Then along comes a factoid like the one I discovered while preparing my recent piece on the recent blockbuster
Consumer Reports study on supermarket chicken and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. I learned that at the industrial hatcheries that churn out chicks for the poultry industry, eggs are commonly injected with tiny amounts of an antibiotic called gentamicin, which is used in people to treat a variety of serious bacterial infections.
That alone dropped my jaw-what, the practice of dosing chickens with antibiotics has to begin literally in the egg? But get this: The practice is allowed in organic production, too. Organic code forbids use of antibiotics in animals, yet in a loophole I'd never heard of, such standards kick in on "the second day of life" for chicks destined for organic poultry farms. (The practice isn't used for the eggs we actually eat-just the ones that hatch chicks to be raised on farms.)
John Glisson, a veterinarian for the US Poultry & Egg Association, told me the practice originated decades ago, when the industry began vaccinating chicken embryos to prevent a common condition called Marek's disease, a deadly herpes virus that attacks chickens. To sterilize the small hole required to get the vaccine into the egg, the industry would shoot in a bit of gentamicin. Glisson added that it remains a common practice, but that it has declined in recent years as (he insisted) the industry has begun to move away from reliance on antibiotics. Neither Glisson nor the FDA could give me precise data on how often it's used these days. The Food and Drug Administration allows such injections only when prescribed by a veterinarian, a spokesperson said.
So what's the problem with giving chickens a little antibiotic boost as they start life? For starters, the practice could promote the spread of antibiotic-resistant superbugs. A 2007 peer-reviewed study of Maryland and Virginia workers in conventional chicken houses were 32 times more likely to carrying gentamicin-resistant
E. coli than their neighbors who don't work in the industry.
Wait, We Inject Antibiotics into Eggs for Organic Chicken?

If you are traveling and want the easiest way to brew loose leaf teas or Teeccino anywhere on the road, take these paper filters along. They are disposable and lightweight.
Mini Minut paper filters hold sufficient ingredients to brew a large mug as desired according to your preference. They travel flat and the only thing you have to remember is to keep the little stick that holds the filters across your cup. Being disposable, you have nothing to wash or clean up. Throw the filter out and away you go, cup in hand!

"I love the convenience of these filters. I would like to make a suggestion that if you could have packages without the holder in them. I now have three of these holders. I would think that this would help to save some money for the company by not having the holders in every package.
Thank you "

La Fonda's Gabe Bako has been absent for weeks. By Leslie Turk
The conspicuous absence of what was once the most visible face at La Fonda is leading to lots of questions — and very little answers.
Gabe Bako is no longer managing the iconic Tex-Mex restaurant.
In his book, The Spirit of La Fonda, restaurant founder Leebob Cox writes of choosing Bako as his successor in 1996; Cox died in February 2008. At some point in time, Bako was cut in as a 50 percent partner, sharing ownership with Cox's two children, Sherwood and Stephanie. Sherwood, whom Cox hoped would one day take over, has since moved out of town, and it now appears that Stephanie is in charge.
"The status is that he's on vacation," longtime Office Manager Pat LeDoux said of Bako in a brief phone conversation Feb. 16. "There's not much we can say right now." With Stephanie in the room while the interview was taking place, LeDoux added: "Things are out of our hands right now."
Bako could not be reached for comment.
For more than five decades, La Fonda has managed to maintain a loyal following among the city's movers and shakers. Bako's departure, if permanent, is certainly a blow to its rich tradition.

These thoughts occurred as I was watching "The House I Live In," the documentary by Eugene Jarecki about our War on Drugs. Like other American wars, it has not been going so well. Its cost so far is more than $1 trillion dollars. Its effect on American drug consumption has been negligible. Its primary effect has been to assure a steady flow of non-violent, non-dealing drug users to our prisons, many of them for mandated sentences of five, 10, 20 or 40 years — or life. Hearing his sentence of 40 years for using crack, a young offender says flatly, "I messed up." Let that be a lesson to him, although he may be dead by the time he can put it to use.
When I wrote, "young offender," did you have a mental image of a black youth? Yes, 90 percent of those arrested for using crack are black, although only 13 percent of the nation's crack users are black. Why is this so? Could it be that black men dealing crack on street corners are easy pickings for police patrols, but white offenders in affluent suburbs and Wall Street financial firms are not so easy to nab? The sad thing is that white crack users use poor blacks to run the risks for them.
Because of its disproportionate number of minority targets, the War on Drugs has been called a Silent Holocaust against blacks. The irony is compounded because so many prisons (many of them private, profit-making enterprises) are in lower-income white areas with a ready supply of low-salaried guards. The location of prisons is often due to the clout of white legislators.
But now the worm is turning, as Jarecki points out. Although pot and crack use results in mostly black arrests, low-income white areas are showing a dramatic growth in arrests for the manufacture and use of crystal meth.
No politician dares risk seeming soft on drugs, although the Obama administration did bring an end to sentences for crack (used more by blacks) that were sharply more extreme than powder cocaine (used more by whites). After all, it's all cocaine.
Is drug abuse a victimless crime? Good question. Libertarians such as Ron Paul argue that what you put into your body is your business. It is the laws that produce victims — and they are the users themselves. Of course many victims result from crimes committed to get money to buy drugs. The libertarian argument is that if you decriminalize drugs, as some European countries have found, you remove the profit motive, and drug use falls. It has been said that the War on Drugs is essentially a price-support system for the drug cartels of Latin America.
Jarecki's film makes a shattering case against the War on Drugs, using street footage, prison footage and the closer-to-home story of Nannie Jeter, the Jarecki family's longtime housekeeper, whose own son was arrested. In poor, jobless neighborhoods, selling drugs is often the only "easy" way to make money. And poor, jobless dealers are easy prey for the police, most of whom realistically believe their efforts are making absolutely no difference.
If we were to expand the War on Drugs to reach into affluent neighborhoods, fashionable clubs, board rooms, movie studios and yacht harbors, how well do you think that would go over? The only rich people who get busted are in show business. If we see even one rich, white executive locked up for several years for smoking pot or inhaling cocaine, that'll be the day.

Just trying to understand the graph, what are the X and Y axises (axi? axisus? lol)
Originally I posted this on my blog, but surprisingly nobody seems to have done the work yet on actual theorycrafting sites, probably because it's boring and deserves a much more in-depth treatment than I actually gave it. Neither Deep Wounds nor Hold the Line are included. Copy-pasting my results here.
The numbers are slightly higher than you would expect with prot, because I counted a +3% crit damage meta into the calculations. Also, this model assumes you use every Incite proc.
While waiting for my final (hopefully) download to complete on my ridiculously slow connection, I finally simmed out Incite like I've been meaning to. Please note that this particular sim is only applicable to Prot and Fury, because simming Deep Wounds requires taking into account possible overwrites from other abilities and that's really more hassle than I want to go to at the moment.
[Edit: The X axis is your paperdoll crit chance. The Y axis is the average percent increase in damage per heroic strike. So at 25% crit, with 3 points in Incite, your heroic strikes will be doing 33% more damage.]
The exact numbers from my sim, if you're interested. These are the average dpHS percent increases over a million Heroic Strikes.
Crit 1p 2p 3p

Just trying to understand the graph, what are the X and Y axises (axi? axisus? lol)
"What we need is a special blend of Psychology and extreme violence"
Argh, I'm retarded. Knew I forgot something.
The X axis is your base crit chance, and the Y axis is the percent increase in damage per heroic strike above a 0-point baseline. So with a 10% base crit chance (10 on the X axis) and 2 points in Incite (the green line), you gain a 20% average increase in Heroic Strike damage.
From the data it looks likes it's crit gained from incite versus crit chance? At 100% crit chance you gain no benefit from proccing incite crits and that's why the curve approaches zero at 100% crit. Each curve indicates either 1, 2, or 3 talent points specced into Incite.
Edited in an explanation of the axes under the graph, because I'm too lazy to go and edit the graph itself.
Interesting. Considering prot warriors are usually rolling with almost no crit except for the one given by talents (Hold the line, and war academy maybe when we are lv85), the HS damage increase by 3 points in Incite is around 30%.
Personaly I'm using HS almost on CD, rage has not been an issue on raid bosses, and HS constitutes a very big part of my overall damage, so I think putting those 3 points in Incite is justified.
By the way I assume that to account for the Hold the line 10% crit bonus we can just add 10 to our base crit chance % on the x axis?
Maybe I am not up to speed on 4.01/Cata, but isn't there a 20% glancing blow chance, practically capping crit at max at around high 60s-Low 70s for every melee class? If that's the case, I would expect the graph to drop a lot earlier, unless the damage is only from solid hits/crits...? And that's also assuming you have capped hit and are behind the boss with sufficient expertise, or course.

I am indeed assuming capped yellow hit and expertise. I'm not sure how being below yellow hit cap/expertise cap would change the value of Incite. If incite procs give 100% chance to crit, overriding chance to miss/be dodged/be parried (similar to how -crit% talents cannot make a Lava Burst not crit), then Incite would be even more valuable below hit and expertise cap; but if the proc only converts all hit chance into crit chance, leaving dodge/parry/miss untouched, I'm not sure how that would affect the curve.
I'll duel with a rogue or hunter later and see what I find.
Yellow attacks are a 2-roll system, so below the hit cap you do not only reduce the actual chance to gain a crit from Incite, the proc chance is also actually lower.

i'm with Booi, I'd need to see a link to where they without a doubt prove that yellow attacks are on a 2 roll system, it just doesn't make sense to do that to players vs. bosses, but have bosses vs players a 1 roll system.

Hmmm, let's see ....
That one is for ranged attacks.
I can't seem to find my screenshots anymore of my old tests, so I'm just gonna have to redo them and post the results here tomorrow

Well here are my thoughts:
Choking Gas from the professor putricide fight, reduces your chance to hit by 100%. (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=72620)
This is from Heroic Professor Putricide (25 Man) So it should be -100% to hit, not -75%. Also, this fury warrior is running 27% hit.

[19:37:41.619] Argøn Raging Blow Professor Putricide 3335 (O: -1)
[19:37:56.815] Argøn's Choking Gas fades
If it was a one roll system, anything that hit the boss, would be a crit. We have a normal hit here, which suggests that Raging Blow at least, is on a two roll system.

just seems counter intuitive. but i won't argue the facts.

So far, it seems all white melee attacks as well as direct damage spells are single-roll. It is safe to assume that a debuff spell that does damage (read: DoTs), goes by a two roll table.
Things I will test later on this week (whenever I got time to pop in a movie and have my G15 spam a button 2 hours in a row):
* Spells that have both a Direct Damage and DoT portion
* Direct damage yellow melee attacks
* Yellow melee attacks with a debuff
* Dual wield yellow attacks that are talented (Frost DK & Fury Warrior)
* Ranged attacks (last on my list, just to make sure)
I'm usually testing about 2000 executes of an ability (depending on the crit chance), using the level 80 dummy in Orgrimmar to prevent level difference quirkyness (it's the right one, should you care).

The thing is that dual-weapon abilities (that are always dual-weapon) seem to always have a 2-roll system.
This is true for atleast Stormstrike & Mutilate, but one could be due to the debuff, the other due to being a Rogue ability.
The Fury SMF Slam as well as the Frost DK dual strikes will need testing. Pre-4.0.1 Frost DKs could never miss with their OH, don't know if they fixed it by now or not.
I will first be checking for Heroic Strike on the dummies tomorrow, so that should atleast provide a solution for the Incite debate.

It would appear that you can parry Gauranteed Crits. I would assume this means it is NOT a 1 roll system

One of the best things about the Holidays is the number of Holiday Parties that are on the horizon. It is a great way for anyone to meet new friends. Sometimes it is easy to get into a social rut, as we hang out with the same circle of friends and our busy lives don't allow for more activities. At one time I tended to avoid these events, but now I look forward to them. We are, as human beings, social beings. Meeting new, interesting people keeps us humming.
I recently had a reminder of how energizing it is to meet new people with whom you connect. One was a friend who was in from Florida, and who left Chicago a long time ago. It was fun to catch up and since he and I knew some of the same people, it was like having a new friend and an old friend all rolled into one.
The other "new" person is someone I "met" via email over two years ago, and is more in my old world. We had a fun conversation, and it left me thinking about the importance of meeting new friends who share your same interests, yet are different enough so that you both learn something by being in each others orb.
I mention this because of the Holidays and their great opportunities for bringing new friends into your life, which serve to make for a greater world perspective, awareness, and shared consciousness, if you choose your friends wisely.Follow

The Ten Most Badass Band Names in DFW

Sometimes a retail store is more social institution than Mecca of mammon. In the case of Dallas, there exists a causal relationship: the more mammon in the Mecca, the greater the social institution. Here retail provides ballast for the community in the most abstract ways, by giving it a sense of identity through its consumerist aplomb. Flowing generously from Neiman Marcus on Main Street downtown, that pillar of the community, is a flamboyant culture of fashion, art and high-price value that Dallasites know to be their own. North of downtown there's that other beacon of society, Ray Nasher's NorthPark Center. Talk about one-stop shopping. Once a humble 97-acre cotton field on the outskirts of town, NorthPark is a civic center today where shopping takes on a sense of public pride--a lesson in artistic rumination and cultural Bildung, or what the Germans know to be "personal development." With its gamut of artful offerings, NorthPark collapses all distinction between high and low culture, giving it something of a perverse cutting-edge effect. Little did you realize how truly avant-garde you could be, that perusing a sculpture by Jonathan Borofksy, Henry Moore or Frank Stella while sipping on a frothy Starbucks and holding a Foley's bag was an act of transgression almost on par with the Happenings and performance art of the 1960s.
But that's just Dallas. It's a city that unwittingly holds such garish and baroque transgressions of tradition in high esteem.
A retail pioneer in its own right, the storefront design atelier-cum-art space Kül has positioned itself to become the next retail social institution in town. Described by proprietor LaRue Thornton as something of a hybrid, Kül is a "life style store, art gallery and design studio" all wrapped in one. It is located at 1303 Main St. --no, not in Deep Ellum but on the other side of that forever gentrifying street, downtown in the business district. Nestled at ground level in the Davis Building, a 1920s neo-classical tower that once housed the Republic Bank, Kül hopes to generate street life in an area vowing economic and social renaissance in the form of a youthful loft culture. Beneficiary of the Main Street Retail Incentive Grant Program, Thornton is unflinching in the face of the recently failed strong-mayor proposal. Many viewed the proposal as a catalyst for growth and economic development necessary for future retail life downtown. Thornton, however, is confident about survival nonetheless, viewing the arrival of a winery next door as proof of capitalism's unyielding invisible hand.
If its location brings with it a sense of social promise, that it might breath swank life into the ruins of the business district, the art gallery situated in the basement provides little assurance for serious gallery-goers. If we are to judge the art gallery downstairs by the work currently showing--Download,works by Shane Pennington--it doesn't hold a candle to the city's finest venues. The loft-like feel of its burnished brick walls and revealed piers and beams creates a stylish and hip ambience in the subterranean gallery space. But that's as much as you'll get. This gallery offers atmosphere with little conceptual mooring.
On view until June 1, the paintings of Download are a hodgepodge of style and hopeful panache. The figural pieces are a throwback to album cover art of the 1980s, while the large-scale abstract and brightly colored splatter-painted canvases are Pollock redux. A large monochromatic canvas in acrylic and charcoal, "48 Seconds of Secure and Insecure Laura Lee," shows a messily delineated knee-high boot-footed anonymous white woman, assumedly "Laura Lee," clad in a black dress. She appears in multiple form walking sideways across the canvas. Perhaps more sexually piquant but intellectually flat all the same, "Upload" shows a faceless beefy man, slouching naked with his almost erect member in hand. In the upper right corner of the canvas, Pennington has painted the pull-down menu of a computer's desktop. The monochromatic canvas pays homage to the malaise of self-absorption and pornographic strolling online. In terms of lackluster 1980s painting, the pièces de résistance are on the back wall. There one finds the "Blog" series, 20 or so 2 feet-by-2 feet works of acrylic, tape and plastic on board. With usernames for titles ("M4M," "Candice0865," etc.), each square has a pixelated face at center framed by industrial-grade tape and blobby paint scrawls of the word "blog." The overall aesthetic effect is somewhere between the Cars and Cyndi Lauper. Especially in light of the current right-of-center political tenor, you might find yourself pondering if this quasi-electronic universe is really the version of the past, much less the '80s, that we want to resuscitate. (That said, what version of that buttoned-up and reactionary decade could one possibly wish to revive?)
Slightly more successful are the prettily decorative canvases of the "Above the Clouds" series. Along the side wall and hanging mid-room, "The Answer" and "Eatable Blue" are shiny large surfaces of splattered acrylic paint, one in shades of burnt umber and the other sapphire. Their paint-splashed surfaces are more geode-like than gestural, glistening and precious rather than records of action on the ground plane.

At the Levittown Fire Department's Open House Kristin Rochon of Troop 3114 and Levittown Fire Department Explorer Post 620 had a chance to show the Pet Oxygen masks that she is providing as part of her Gold Award Project. Rochon raised funds for some of the masks and received a generous donation of several masks from Dr. Blauvelt of the Carman Avenue Veterinary Clinic. The Pet Oxygen masks will be placed on the three ambulances of the Levittown Fire Department. The masks will be used to help resuscitate dogs and cats that are exposed to toxic fumes. Along with the donation of the masks, Rochon demonstrated the use of the masks to the public at the open house, distributed "PET-CALS: PETS INSIDE" decals, and answered questions on pet first aid and safety. She will assist the Department's Training Committee in the teaching the use of the masks to department members, and administering first aid to pets.

Friday 4 October 2013: Out of reach
Another bitty day at work. I hope that next week I can do something more substantive. Most of the afternoon was spent on documentation, which is important - it just boring to write.
At the station in the village there is an apple tree. I think it's probably grown from a discarded core. It has apples on it this year but they are mostly just out of reach. I managed to dislodge one apple to eat but that was it. I think one parent is probably an Granny Smith, based on the appearance of the apple, it's hard texture and the fact it's a common shop variety. Sadly the Granny Smith isn't the best apple in the world and doesn't do well this far from the equator, so British grown ones are only suitable for the pot.

Refrigerator Purchase Anyone have a Samsung, an LG, a Kenmore, or a Whirlpool Gold French Door Refrigerator?
Looking at purchasing a new /or refurbished new French Door Refrigerator
I am looking for reliability, my last refrigerator was a constant problem...
Does anyone have a Samsung French Door or Kenmore French Door or other refrigerator that they love?
(No room for a Sub Zero, we have a smaller home)
Be aware of what company manufactures what.
To quote a CNN article, "Whirlpool, for example, manufactures KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Roper and Estate; Maytag also makes Amana and Jenn-Air. And they all make products for Sears' house brand Kenmore, which doesn't actually manufacture anything."
re: Shaw Oliver
thank you Shawn
re: Shaw Oliver
Funny, I just mentioned this elsewhere... The CNN article is a bit outdated as Whirlpool bought Maytag, meaning Whirlpool Corporation now makes all eight of those brands, plus they make appliances for IKEA.
If you want a reliable fridge, get one that does not have a through-the-door ice maker; it's by far the most likely part to break on a refrigerator. You can find refrigerators that have internal dispensers; I did and love it that way. With a French door fridge, the through-the-door ice makers make even less sense because they take up a significant chunk of refrigerator real estate to hold a mini-freezer for the ice cubes. Also look for refrigerators that have a mullion bar (technical term for the mullion bar is "flappy thing") in between the two doors; the mullion bar creates a much better seal than one without it.
Last, consider buying a refrigerator with a bottom-mount freezer and a standard fridge door. The French doors are very popular right now, but aren't necessary unless your refrigerator is in a tight space. You're paying a premium for less shelf space in your refrigerator because of the split in the doors.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
jk, thank you for your expansive information. you have helped me a lot!
re: kjkowal
thank you
We bought a Samsung French Door model at Lowe's 9 months ago. So far so good! I love it. I find it to be much easier to arrange than our old side-by-side. I don't have as much stuff going bad in it because I can see more of it. We have a model that defies all ice maker advice given so far...not only does it have thru-the-door ice and water, but it also has a second ice maker in the freezer below. We use A LOT of ice though. It's hot here in Phx and we like cold drinks. Also makes it easy to fill a cooler for road trips! Knock on wood, we've had no problems with it yet. I hope it will last a long time. I think of all the models we looked at, this one had the best interior layout for maximizing shelf space.
However, there are a few things I don't like, but they are probably not necessarily brand-specific. First, we have couple glass shelves that have a split down the middle so you can lower the front portion of the shelf in order to make room for more tall items. The problem is that there is a support rod under the shelf that really gets in the way of things on the shelf below. Sometimes I have trouble fitting a half a watermelon if it's big because of that rod. Second, I thought I would love the wide cheese/meat drawer under the produce drawers, and I kinda do, but it's really a pain to have to open both fridge doors to open the drawer. Now I wish it was two smaller drawers as we don't tend to store a lot of things on trays or platters (which is what it's meant for I think).
Anyways, I would buy it again. Love my "new" fridge. And, the french doors are great for tight spaces (we have a galley kitchen so it was pretty much a necessity).
re: Joyfulmom
Not all of them have 2 ice makers. As BoardSmith below said, the bottom ice maker is faster and easier to use. But, the top one comes in handy. Our old side by side fridge was pretty inefficient, so even with the ice/water system, I think this one is still more efficient.
This is the model we purchased. Not sure if they have a newer version of it since it's well into 2010 now and our fridge is almost a year old.
re: Jen76
Just for reference, I thought I'd post an update about our Samsung French Door refrigerator. During the summer, my husband attempted to clean the glass shelves in the fridge after a rather large watermelon oozed all over the place. In the process, the bottom, full width glass shelf that sits above the crisper drawers shattered into a bazillion pieces.
We called Samsung and they were very friendly and covered the broken shelf under the warranty. Unfortunately, they sent us the wrong shelf (wasn't even for our model as it had plastic instead of glass).
As friendly as their customer service is, their parts database/ordering software seems woefully inadequate. After 2 months and many, many, many phone calls with customer service and their parts department, we FINALLY figured out the correct shelf's part number and they sent it to us.
Was it frustrating? Yes, but at least they were always friendly (even if not extremely responsive). Lesson? Be persistent. In their credit, the first shelf was sent out extremely quickly. The problem only arose in trying to explain to them that they sent the wrong part and then getting customer service (on the East Coast) to follow up with the parts department (on the West Coast) to send out the correct part. But at least we finally got it! Thank you Samsung. We still love the fridge, too.
We purchased a Samsung French Door refrigerator in January from Lowe's. So far it has done well. (Our last one was a Whirlpool that was 21 years old.)
The upper ice maker does take up a lot of interior room but we use it a lot. I do enjoy the chilled water and crushed ice. The drawback is that the ice distribution is somewhat slow.
The lower freezer drawer is rather convenient and spacious. However, some of the item stored there can get lost under things so we use it for those items we will need frequently and store everything else in the upright deep freezer in the storage room.
The lower ice maker works faster than the upper one does and makes filling glasses and coolers so much easier. The drawback is that sometimes when opening the upper basket, some of the ice will fall off behind the lower basket and just sit there on the floor of the freezer. Doesn't hurt anything until the ice finally make its way out to the floor.
I am satisfied with Samsung. The one service call was handled quickly and efficiently. The replacement part was late in arriving and Samsung called to offer a replacement refrigerator rather than wait another week for the part. Head and shoulders better than LG!
we bought the Whirlpool Gold FD. We use a lot of ice and really needed the icemaker and water on the door. In addition, we have a very tight space which includes a wall on the right side. The previous fridge was a SS that was 21 CF. The new one is 27 CF. Due to the wall we were limited to the Whirlpool since our first choice was the Electrolux FD which couldn't fit. Fortunately, we realized this just before it was delivered.
Having said that, the icemaker does jam from time to time since I like to keep it in the "crushed" mode. In order to unclug it, I simply change to "cube mode" and then back.
Having filtered water on the door is nice. However, you would think that the water would be cold.----It's not. I do like the lighting inside. It is very bright. The food stays fresh much longer than our previous SS.
The shelf design could have been better to accomodate items in the middle of the shelf. The bracket that supports the shelf above it limits what you can put in the center of the shelf below.
Would I buy it again? Yes, if I had the same space constraints.
We have the Samsung bottom-freezer French-door refrigerator....got it at Lowe's almost 4 years ago....we like it a lot! No problems with it really......One issue we've had with it is that the "deli" drawer or pantry drawer - you have to be careful when you pull it out as it has little tabs on the side that can break off if you don't do it just right. The customer service was very rude about it even if under warranty. Ours broke off right after we got it.
I will say though that I LOVE the bottom drawer freezer....nothing ever falls out on our feet! LOL One drawback inside the fridge is that big things like milk, soda bottles or tall things MUST be put on the doors & can't be put on the shelves. Only short things can be put on the shelves. Otherwise, it is roomy and I really love the fridge. The shelves are solid so nothing spills through.
One caveat is that if something falls out of the fridge, it can dent the freezer door (has happened to us). BTW - we don't have the outside ice-maker.....
re: jenscats5
I think Samsung may have redesigned some of the issues you mention, or perhaps they are model specific. Our model doesn't have the tabs on the deli drawer - at least not that I've noticed. Also, we have a flip up shelf that provides room for tall things and another shelf where the front half slides back for more tall things, so we are definitely not limited to just the door shelves for tall items. You could also rearrange the shelves to give you more space for tall things as well.
I agree that the bottom freezer is awesome though.
re: Jen76
Nice about the flip shelf! That we do not have, so like you said either it's model-specific or they upgraded. I'm pretty sure our shelves can be adjusted, but I've never tried it.
The tabs on the deli/pantry door are where they "click" into the sides of the drawer to flip up when it's opened. They fit into little holes to allow the "door" to open when the drawer it pulled open. They broke off the 1st month we got it & it was a real fight with cust. svc. to get them to send out a new door.
I bought the Samsung 4 door French refrigerator two months ago and I love it . 29Cu ft. The 4th drawer is great for either platters or deli stuff. Right now I have a very long stalk of brussel sprouts in there. The temp, is adjustable for the drawer ,too.
I have (I think) the exact Samsung in your picture, and I've been quite happy with it. Purchased in September 2008, no problems at all.
My only complaints are that the ice dispenser is *loud* when it drops ice into the hopper, and the water filter cartridges are expensive. However, the filter is bypassed when you remove it, so a cheaper inline filter would be an option.
Joyfulmom, you've probably had your new refrigerator for a long time now. I just saw the post. My Samsung french door refrigerator is almost a year old and I really like it.
I appreciate being able to see the contents so easily by opening both doors, I like the dual cooling system, and the LCD lighting. It was disappointing that the freezer is smaller than my 20-some-years-old top freezer refrigerator.
It was not without its challenges, however. The freezer started accumulating frost and it took the Sears people 4 trips to troubleshoot, order and install parts, swap out the freezer drawer, etc.
I was also flabbergasted that my electric bill has INCREASED!
But it freezes things quickly and the steady temperature is nice. Plus I like the way it looks.

A Calhoun, Ga., man was charged with arson after he locked himself in a bedroom this morning and lit a mattress on fire.
A woman called police this morning, complaining that 54-year-old Rudy David Hernandez had been drinking and threatened to kill her, a news release states.
When police arrived, they found Hernandez locked in a bedroom with a fire in the room, said Police Chief Garry Moss. Officers broke through the door, pulled Hernandez from the room and extinguished the fire before it could spread to the house.
Hernandez was arrested and charged with arson, terroristic threats and criminal damage to property, Moss said.

When viewing lists with more than today's tasks, they shold be shown in bold font so that one knows which tasks are due today and should be prioritized. An alternative would be to show future tasks in grey.
