What is responsive web design?
The first smartphone was a cellphone designed with Web access. This was over twenty years ago, and during much of that time, smartphones received little attention, but as more and more people began using them, concern over how a site will look on a mobile screen, has increased. The result was the birth of a whole new branch of web design known as "responsive," which has been in existence since 2004.
The importance of responsive web design
Web experts expect that before the end of the decade, smartphones will have displaced desktop PCs as the most commonly-used method of accessing websites. This is why you need to keep responsive in mind when building your website. Most webpages include videos and images, which need to be resized to fit mobile screens. Site mobilization gives companies a competitive edge, not only because of more visitors, but also better user experience on all devices.
According to Google, 90 percent of the population uses may devices at a time by shifting from one device to another, whether to perform the same search or to email themselves a link to visit later. Cross-device link integrity is thus becoming especially crucial.
Google and responsive web design
On April 21, 2015, Google announced an update to Google's algorithm, known as Mobilegeddon. Mobilegeddon gives better the top rankings for websites whom have adopted a responsive web design or a mobile redirect for their mobile users. One result of its introduction is that the gap between desktop and mobile rankings is greater than ever before. Another is that, for sites without multiple-screen optimization, things will only get worse. "The genie," says Search Engine Land in a May 7 article, "is not going back in the bottle."
Best practices
Here are a few of the best RWD practices:
• focusing on breakpoints or pauses — These vary with screen size; for instance, 768px in larger smartphones.
• making flexible, workable images — There is a tool called Adaptive Images that eases this task.
• eliminating non-essential content — Things that do not work for mobile can be classed ".not_mobile."
• remembering the "bottom line" — This always works for businesses.

The Mali's n nurseries advise or sell aged cow manure in winters. The idea is that cow manure is 'garam' (hot) and protects the plants in winters from the cold as well as providing nutrients.
I thought that one of the possibilities, assuming they are correct, is that the manure (not completely decomposed) starts fermenting in the soil under wet conditions. Which is what produces the heat. In this case both the heat and the incompletely degraded fertilizer would inflict more harm than good?
I would appreciate some insight from the experienced members on this.

Watch: Idris Elba Channel Anti-Apartheid Activist Nelson Mandela In 'Mandela'
Yesterday, July 18, was Madiba's (Nelson Mandela) 95th birthday, and even though he is going through a serious health scare, it also is the right time for the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom trailer, which features Idris Elba.
The clip promises to unravel the story of the man behind the movement, as Idris Elba plays the radical activist with Naomi Harris playing his love interest. Long Walk delves into his past, his increasing frustrations with the way South Africa was governed, the crippling apartheid and his own desire to simply see his children live in freedom.
Elba has an especially tough role here, as Madiba is one of the most recognizable faces all around the world, and while much of the film appears to take place when the wider world wasn't awash in news coverage about the leader we know today, audience preconceptions are inevitable will need to be placed in check.
Directed by Justin Chadwick (The First Grader) and produced by The Weinstein Company, the cast also features Gys de Villiers, Robert Hobbs and Theo Landey. It will arrive in theaters on January 3, 2014.

More Dan Graziano: Chats | Search | NFC East blog | @DanGrazianoESPN
Dan Graziano (12:00 PM)
Hello, and welcome to the chat. I am your host, Dan. Please ask your questions.
Marques (Los Angeles) [via mobile]
Hey Dan love the work you do on the blog. Do you think the Eagles will make a late dip into free agency and grab a wide receiver like Plaxico Burress?
Dan Graziano (12:01 PM)
I haven't heard anything to indicate that, Marques, but it remains possible, and that's a place he's said he'd like to play. There's no rush on Plaxico, because there appears to be no demand for his services. So if he's someone they like, perhaps they're waiting to evaluate the guys on their own roster first before deciding whether to take a shot.
D-waz (Valdosta, GA)
As you say the Giants are a meritocracy... and in your comments on Wilson and Randle, you discuss how they may be behind other candidates. But that didn't stop Victor Cruz from overtaking those others as those in front faltered and/or got injured. I don't think either will set the world afire like Cruz. But don't you think they can match what the Giants' lost, either singly or with those around them?
Dan Graziano (12:03 PM)
Cruz's case actually proves my point. He clearly outplayed Barden and Jernigan and even Manningham to secure his starting job. As for whether the Giants can make up for what they lost with their rookies/unproven guys at RB and WR, sure they CAN. But until we see them do it, it remains a question mark, not a certainty.
Stephane (Philly)
Doesn't it seem to you that the Eagles are overvalued again coming into the season? They've got the second-highest odds to win the NFC according to Vegas. I watched this team every game last year. I don't see it. What am I missing?
Dan Graziano (12:05 PM)
Well, yes. They do look the best on paper, again. And it's more or less the same group that flopped in spite of that last year. But I think the sense is that (a) many of their losses were very close and (b) there's reason to think they'll play better this year, given all of the changes they made last year and the likelihood that everyone's more comfortable now. But yes, your point is well taken. Last year's disappointment must factor into predictions regarding the Eagles. It's possible the group just doesn't have what it takes.
TimVB (Arlington, VA)
Do you see any of the Redskin's receivers being viable fantasy starters?
Dan Graziano (12:06 PM)
Absolutely. Garcon and Moss should be on rosters, for sure. And if you count Fred Davis, he should be among the top fantasy TEs.
alex,new york [via mobile]
I know you'll feel like saying..who cares...but isn't eli totally underrated???I mean brees and rodgers thrive in their respective systems...but besides brady isn't eli the only other real clutch quarterback in the nfl right now? And not only that...if u take every aspect of the game into account...who is better??
Dan Graziano (12:08 PM)
No, the guys you'd take ahead of him from a tools/numbers standpoint are guys like Stafford and Rivers and maybe Romo, but you're right. None of those guys has demonstrated Eli's ability to win the huge games, over and over again. So yeah, you'd take him. I think his brother's the answer to your question, though, about who's better other than Brady, Rodgers and Brees.
Dan (Washington, DC)
Dear God. What the hell is with Giants fans and their "Giants are so disrespected!" Eli is so underrated!" Seriously. Grow up!
Dan Graziano (12:08 PM)
Sorry. Posted that by accident. (Or did I?)
Chris (Miami)
Hey Dan just curious, how many questions do you get per minute? And do you actually read all the questions or do you skip some?
Dan Graziano (12:09 PM)
Can't read them all. I skim. Per-minute average varies by time of year. This time of year is very slow. Yours is No. 81. So, what? 8.1 per minute so far?
Lou (Irving, TX)
Do you think that the Giants would ever run a defensive scheme with 5 down lineman for even more pressure on the QB with the talent they have in the defensive line?
Dan Graziano (12:09 PM)
Yes, I think this is something Jerry Reese and Tom Coughlin have envisioned in their dreams.
Charle (Waterloo)
Like you said there is not a line in front of Plaxico's door but doesn't a big outside receiver (Austin to slot) make sense for Dallas? Especially because of the trouble they have had gettinig it in the end zone from point blank.
Dan Graziano (12:10 PM)
Plax in Dallas would shock me. They're trying to stay away from potential problem cases.
Asher (McLean)
Do you think the NFC East is the toughest division anymore? If not what division?
Dan Graziano (12:11 PM)
So cyclical. The AFC North had three playoff teams last year. The NFC South had three 10-win teams two years ago. Round and round it goes.
Demetrius (Landover, Md)
Saying as though we haven't heard much from/or about Roy Helu's progression so far this offseason. when you were at Redskins camp a couple of weeks ago how did youthink he looked in positional drills, though I know he was held out of full team drills? And do you think he would be a late round steal on some fantasy teams?
Dan Graziano (12:11 PM)
Yeah, Helu belongs on your fantasy bench, in case he emerges as a regular starter sometime during the season and you can trade him after his first big game.
Jay (Philly)
Who are you taking above Shady? MJD? Arian? RayRiceoftheRavensfromRutgers? All of them?
Dan Graziano (12:12 PM)
I think Foster and Rice are the only ones who I'd take ahead of McCoy, and I don't know that I wouldn't take McCoy first. That seems to be this year's clear top three.
Erik (Illinois)
10 minutes in. First Cowboys question answered? Whats going on? I mean this is "America's Team" we're talking about!!
Dan Graziano (12:12 PM)
Can only take the questions I get, Erik.
Hodor (Winterfell)
Chris (Miami)
Most reliable fantasy QB in the NFC east for the entire season? (Including week 17, of course)
Dan Graziano (12:14 PM)
Reliable, the answer is Manning. Can't count on Vick and Romo to play all 16, right?
Steve (San Diego)
Hi Dan, this will be the 3rd year in the 3-4 defense but the secondary might be weaker. Do you think the Redskins defense will be better or worse than last year?
Dan Graziano (12:14 PM)
I think they take a step back on defense. Secondary is a major concern.
Jeff (NJ)
So Nicks says that he will be good to go for training camp. Do you think he is pushing it a bit? I really hope he doesn't push himself too hard an get hurt again closer to the season.
Dan Graziano (12:15 PM)
It sounds as though he's pushing it, and I don't know why he would. The team will pull back on the reins, though.
Mark (Oregon)
How will the Skins secondary be weaker this year? the only guys they lost are guys that didn't play...
Dan Graziano (12:16 PM)
Didn't say weaker. Said "major concern."
DLloyd (NoVA)
Ok, off topic, but hold on just a minute on MJD. He's incredibly consistent and was the only bright spot on the Jaguars, ending the season at the top of the yards heap by quite a bit. He's now got Blackmon and Robinson to keep some defenders away from him, and yet he's not in your top 3? How?
Dan Graziano (12:17 PM)
Well, because I like those other three guys better. If I had the fourth pick, I'd feel fine about taking MJD. But holdout concerns, wear and tear, etc. Somebody's got to be fourth in that group.
Luigi (Brooklyn)
With the loss of Jason Peters, how do you think that will effect the Eagles running game?
Dan Graziano (12:18 PM)
Significantly. 20 touchdowns again for McCoy would be a surprise, given what I believe was Peters' contribution to the 2011 cause. McCoy's still great enough on his own to put up numbers, but things will have to chance in terms of scheme. They ran to Peters' side a lot last year.
steve (australia)
Who in the East will have the best fantasy defense this year?
Dan Graziano (12:18 PM)
Did you know that not one NFC East team returned a punt or a kick for a touchdown last year? That affects the value of the fantasy D/STs in the division. But I think the answer to your question is Eagles, by a nose over the Giants.
Mark (Oregon)
Why the comment then that they Skins would take a step back. They gain Jarvis on the D-line, another year of experience for the young LBs, and can potentially upgrade at safety. I'm not saying they've solved their problems in the secondary, but it seems like they should be at least the same, if not better this year...
Dan Graziano (12:20 PM)
I am familiar with Washington's roster. What do you want me to say? I think that, unless they get to the QB, they're going to be easy to throw on.
Dan Graziano (12:20 PM)
One man's opinion.
Mark (Bellefonte, PA)
If not one team returned a punt or kick for a touchdown, then that doesn't affect their relative value to each other.
Dan Graziano (12:21 PM)
Brian (48th and Madison)
With Wilson are the giants able to run an offense similar to the saints with Darren sproles or do they lack the TE to make it possible
Dan Graziano (12:22 PM)
Well, they obviously don't have anything at TE that's close to what the Saints have. But almost no one does. As for the Wilson-Sproles comparison... sheesh. Can we see the kid play first? Sproles has been a productive NFL back for years. That's a pretty difficult thing to become, even for a first-round pick.
Stephane (Philly)
I think that Andy Reid has far too much power in the Eagles' organization, especially for a coach who hasn't been able to win big games and for someone who has made some puzzling personnel decisions in the past. Agree?
Dan Graziano (12:23 PM)
By and large, no, I do not agree with my readers on Andy Reid. The team is good every year. The team is in contention every year. The team is in the playoffs almost every year. There are a lot of fan bases that would happily trade you their problems.
Sagar (NYC)
Who has the best recieving corps in the division? Bryant/Austin/Witten , Nicks/Cruz/Bennett, Jackson/Maclin/Celek, Moss/Garcon/Lewis?
Dan Graziano (12:23 PM)
When you include the tight ends, the Cowboys come out ahead.
Nick (Vermont)
Do you think the scheme that was run in Chicago didn't suit Meriweather as well as the one in DC will?
Dan Graziano (12:25 PM)
That is what Mike Shanahan believes. He knows more about it than I do. I think Meriweather is an OK player and will play OK. They can't use him as a deep-coverage center fielder type.
Michael (Mt. Airy, MD)
Do you think people will be making too much of the RG3 vs. Luck preseason game when it happens?
Dan Graziano (12:25 PM)
Dan Graziano (12:25 PM)
But I may be one of those people!
Hanson (DC)
Garcon had a large amount of his catches in the 4th quarter.Clutch or just garbage time stats?
Dan Graziano (12:26 PM)
Hard to call it "clutch," since the Colts weren't competitive in most of their games. I don't know on Garcon. I think he has the talent to be a No. 1. And he's young enough to grow and develop with Griffin. In theory, he's a good guy for them to have signed. Now, we need to see what he is in reality.
Asher (McLean)
Whats up with RG3's contract?
Dan Graziano (12:26 PM)
I donno.
Josh (Louisville)
Garcon is overrated. Manning made him look good.
Dan Graziano (12:27 PM)
Actually, he had his best year with Painter and Orlovsky and that crew chucking it to him, so...
Jauncen (Jauncenville)
True or False: Atogwe will supplant Coleman as starter at some point this season.
Dan Graziano (12:27 PM)
Gonna say false. But Jarrett might.
Steve (New York)
Joe Horn? Are you kiidding me?!!!!
Dan Graziano (12:27 PM)
Nick (Vermont)
Do you think Raheem Morris is the Redskins' DC in 2013?
Dan Graziano (12:28 PM)
Will (Fort Myers)
How much flack have you gotten over the June predictions?
Dan Graziano (12:28 PM)
Corey (Philadelphia)
Garcon spent his time in Indy catching "perfect" passes and usually not against the other teams top CB(s). Do you think its likely that he regresses when teams put their top talent on him and his QB is no longer throwing indefensible passes?
Dan Graziano (12:29 PM)
Again, I just must have missed all the perfect, indefensible passes Curtis Painter was throwing last year. Gotta go back and watch more film...
Stephane (Philly)
The NFL is a "what have you done for me lately?" league, and Reid hasn't won a playoff game since 2008
Dan Graziano (12:31 PM)
And before last year, neither had Tom Coughlin or Eli Manning. Look, I can't make people think the way I do, and that's not my goal. But you come here asking for my opinion, and I offer it. I think fans are, by their nature, irrational about their teams. And I think Eagles fans are irrational about Andy Reid.
Derek (Austin)
Realistically, what do you think Fred Davis' season could look like? He was on pace for 1,000 yds REC last yr. More value with RGIII ?
Dan Graziano (12:31 PM)
No, I think about the same, but that value is very high. He's legit.
Do you think Vick had a hard time identifying blitz' last year and having Kelce make the calls this year will help the line and buy Vick time in the pocket?
Dan Graziano (12:33 PM)
I think one of Vick's issues as a QB is that he doesn't read the field as well as some of the other top QBs do. And I think taking the responsibility for the protection calls away from him should help, yes, as it gives him one less thing to concentrate on.
Chris (Miami)
This is a VERY optimistic view on things but do you see Niles Paul being as good as Shannon Sharpe?
Dan Graziano (12:33 PM)
I mean come on.
Brick (San Diego)
Dan Graziano (12:33 PM)
Did you use a trident?
Scott (Northglenn, CO)
I think the NFCE has the highest number of 'No. 2 WRs' that may outproduce the suposed team 'No. 1 WR'...who's most likely? Dez, DJax, Moss or Cruz?
Dan Graziano (12:34 PM)
Asher (McLean)
Which training camp are you most interested in attending?
Dan Graziano (12:34 PM)
Cowboys. They have In-n-Out Burger out there.
Joe (New Jersey)
Have you ever cut a chat short because you couldn't deal with the terrible questions anymore? If not, this could be your first time...
Dan Graziano (12:34 PM)
This is pretty bad, isn't it?
Do you think Cruz can/will maintain being a top 10 receiver this season? If so, what about Nicks? There wasn't a game last season where they BOTH posted top 10 WR quality stats, do you think that will change?
Dan Graziano (12:35 PM)
I think Cruz is for real, if that's your question. I think Nicks is better, and will end up being more consistent. But I think they're both high-end guys, and if one is getting more attention, the other will have the better game. This is the way they and the Giants like it. Helps that neither guy has any ego at all about how much he gets the ball.
Stephane (Philly )
This is also a dead period in the NFL, it's pretty boring so I feel like picking fights with you because you don't agree with my amateur opinion about Andy Reid.
Dan Graziano (12:36 PM)
No sweat. Happy to help.
We can all agree that the Eagles look best on paper, but that defense outside the D-Line looked sort of lost. Wasn't there a point in which they were allowing around 5 YPC up the gut?
Dan Graziano (12:37 PM)
Oh yeah. Definitely needs to get stronger up the middle. But you see, they traded for a middle linebacker and traded up to draft a defensive tackle. They addressed their weaknesses, another reason why people are willing to give them another chance.
Ivan (Texas)
Hey I know this is out of your NFC East comfort zone but what's your opinion on the Pro Bowl? I'm ready for them to just shut that down.
Dan Graziano (12:37 PM)
I wouldn't miss it.
Dan Graziano Jr. (Memphis)
Do you think this is a make or break season for the Eagles, before they bust the team up, as a Giants fan i hope so.
Dan Graziano (12:38 PM)
Yes, I think it's an important year for a lot of people there, from a job-security standpoint. I do.
Ted (Dallas)
I think Tony Romo of today is eerily similar to Kenny Anderson (QB Cin.) of the 70's. Agree?
Dan Graziano (12:38 PM)
You must be older than I am.
Matthew (North Carolina)
Do you think Stephane hates Andy Reid more than you hate June predictions?
Dan Graziano (12:38 PM)
Not possible.
Justin (South Jersey)
Eagles fans that hate Andy Reid should put themselves in Redskins fans shoes. Then rethink about about having a coach that always gives your team a chance to win. Would they rather have 10 Different guys like skins did?
Dan Graziano (12:39 PM)
Submitted without comment.
Ted (Dallas)
Dude, I'm 36.
Dan Graziano (12:39 PM)
That's not older than me. Regardless, Kenny Anderson is out of my comfort zone in terms of historical comparisons.
Scott (Giant's Country)
Who does Osi play for next year, assuming he stays healthy?
Dan Graziano (12:40 PM)
Anyone he wants to play for, if he stays healthy.
Asher (McLean)
Which NFC EAST coach is in the hot seat?
Dan Graziano (12:40 PM)
The redhead in green.
Chris (Miami)
MLB question, Where do you stand on HOFers using PED's?
Dan Graziano (12:41 PM)
As a baseball Hall of Fame voter, I have declined to vote for eligible players I believe (or even strongly suspect) to have used them. That's me and my one vote.
Josh (Louisville)
Redhead = Jason Garret?
Dan Graziano (12:41 PM)
Does he wear green?
Nick (Vermont)
NFL question, What did you think of Eli Manning's Top 100 ranking?
Dan Graziano (12:42 PM)
I didn't spend much time thinking about it.
Hog.Brew (Austin)
Chris Neild
Dan Graziano (12:42 PM)
Is this that game where now I have to say a Redskins player whose first name begins with "N?" Niles Paul.
Charle (Waterloo)
Why isn't JG on the Hot Seat in Dallas... My niece yelled "what are you doing?" at the TV last year when he froze Bailey against the Cardinals.
Dan Graziano (12:43 PM)
Well, the snappy answer is "because your niece isn't the owner of the Cowboys." The man who is really likes Garrett and wants to give him a chance to be great at the job. That includes lots of time and patience.
John (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
I see your Niles Paul and raise you Pierre Garcon
Dan Graziano (12:44 PM)
Looks like you win.
Roger Goodell (Overlooking my Minions)
The more I make a mess of everything, am I shortening my tenure as Commish?
Dan Graziano (12:45 PM)
The more money you make for your 32 employers, the longer that tenure gets.
Dan (Boring, MD)
Are you going to be stopping by tailgates again this year?
Dan Graziano (12:46 PM)
I tried that, but it didn't work. Problem is, you guys know what I look like and I don't know what you look like, and when I went out there, no one came up and said hi. (Okay, one person did in Washington.) So if we do that again, it's kind of on you guys to let me know when I've found you.
William (Queens!)
Hey Dan, I was curious about Nicks wanting to return so soon from the injury when he clearly isn't fighting for a job...YET. Do you think it has to do with his contract coming up in a year, and him trying to fight the "injury-prone" label? Or maybe Cruz's upcoming payday is weighing on him after the year he had?
Dan Graziano (12:47 PM)
It could be the injury-prone thing, yeah. I'm sure he doesn't want to risk missing any games. My thing is, I think rushing back is the surer way to bring that risk into play.
Stephane (Philly )
Do you know where you're going Week 1 yet?
Dan Graziano (12:47 PM)
Well, I know I'll be here for Cowboys-Giants on that Wednesday night. That Sunday, it's either Eagles in Cleveland or Redskins in New Orleans. I know which one I'd pick if it were totally up to me...
Ian (Atl, Ga)
So you have a baseball HOF vote. Do you currently cover baseball as well as NFC East? Any current chats, blogs for baseball?? Or is your vote still current from a time you covered baseball in the past?
Dan Graziano (12:48 PM)
It's that last thing you said. I have been strictly NFC East since May of 2011.
Erik (IL)
It's not totally up to you where you go?
Dan Graziano (12:50 PM)
No. It's a communal effort. I have editors and we talk about the best way to make sure we get to where we need to be and get as many games staffed as possible. As I've explained many times, my role on Sunday when I go to games is as part of ESPN.com's Sunday game coverage. I use the access that grants me for blog content, but it's not as simple as me deciding where I want to go and going. Not my money, after all.
Mike S (Ocean CIty, MD)
My guess is that you will want to go to New Orleans to see the start of RGII career.
Dan Graziano (12:50 PM)
You may be psychic. Of course, I imagine we'll have lots and lots of people there. Saints have been just a teensy bit of an offseason story, ya know...
Nick (Vermont)
Can you end the chat today with a Ron Burgundy type sign off?
Dan Graziano (12:51 PM)
Heh heh. That could go either way, couldn't it?
Ray Finkle (Miami)
Does Desean Jackson have a year were he is a significant factor again, now that his contract situation is settled, or have teams figured out how to take him out of games? He is nasty when he has the ball in his hands, but getting it there is the issue.
Dan Graziano (12:52 PM)
I think he is what he is. He's not going to catch 75, 80 balls. He's going to break some big plays. He's going to be a decoy a lot of the time that holds those safeties back and forces Vick to throw underneath. I don't think there's anything coming from Jackson that we haven't already seen.
Will (Fort Myers)
I think a healthy Maclin helps DeSean out
Dan Graziano (12:54 PM)
I agree. I think Jackson will play better than he did last year. I just don't see him making some kind of big career jump to a traditional No. 1 wide receiver. I think he is what he is, and if he's not going to return punts anymore, he won't be as valuable in the future as he was in the past.
Please Answer my question (Schriever AFB)
I've posted a question in every chat you've had and not one answer:Who leads the Redskins in Receiving/Rushing/TD's
Dan Graziano (12:54 PM)
Bo (Philly)
d jackson is ranked in the low 70's in fantasy draft board. is he a viable starting fantasy reciver this year
Dan Graziano (12:55 PM)
He's just tough in fantasy, because he can win you a week by himself or he can drop a really low number in an important spot, and you never know from week to week which it'll be. I tend to stay away.
Adam (Ridgefield, NJ)
Dan -- You need a WR on your fantasy team and can choose between Maclin and Dez. Who do you draft?
Dan Graziano (12:56 PM)
TOUGH call!!! A year ago, Maclin was the easy answer. I think I'd still go with Maclin.
Sean (Az)
what?!?!? griffin leads the redskins in rushing. that sounds kind of crazy unless you think that running back by committee is going to rule all year in DC
Dan Graziano (12:56 PM)
That was my thinking, yes.
Deon Grant (Splooz York City)
This chat is moving too fast....OW MY KNEE. THE PAIN!!!...*looks around*...whew. Now that things are more my speed, if you had to pick a team that "improved" the most this offseason, who is it?
Dan Graziano (12:57 PM)
In this division? Washington.
Matt (Washington Township, NJ)
Are there any teams you specifically stay away from when drafting your fantasy team?
Dan Graziano (12:58 PM)
No. That's foolish. I like playing in leagues where people have such irrational biases. Makes them easy to take advantage of in trades.
Hanson (DC)
Worst uniforms in the division? Eagles in a landslide.
Dan Graziano (12:58 PM)
Yeah, probly. Depends where you come down on the cultural appropriateness of the Redskins' unis, I guess.
Matthew (DC)
Still, even with running by committee, aren't you expecting the rushing attempts per game by the running backs to increase next season?
Dan Graziano (1:00 PM)
Maybe. I don't know. Who's your pick to lead the Redskins in rush yards?
Mike (New Lisbon)
Eagles n Texans in superbowl, your thoughts not a prediction.
Dan Graziano (1:01 PM)
You will see people pick that, yes. Both will be among the favorites when prediction time rolls around, I believe.
Chris (Miami)
Hightower if healthy, if not, then Helu
Dan Graziano (1:01 PM)
I agree. But Hightower isn't healthy, and they don't like Helu as a full-time guy. So I said Griffin. I thought it'd be thought-provoking.
Adam (Ridgefield, NJ)
"No. That's foolish...." Really? I disagree. You're feeling pretty good if you spend a mid draft pick a Redskin's RB?
Dan Graziano (1:02 PM)
But that wasn't the question. The question was whether there is a specific team or teams whose players I would never draft.
Derek (Austin)
How is the Giants defense rated so low for fantasy, with such dynamic playmakers? I feel like they could be a sneaky play this yr.
Dan Graziano (1:03 PM)
Only five NFL teams gave up more yards in 2011. Yeah, you go for sacks and turnovers when drafting a fantasy defense, but one that gives up 376 yards per game isn't going to be one of the elites.
Jevon (McIntosh)
Should the Redskins just go get a Vet RB right now?
Dan Graziano (1:04 PM)
Now? No. Everyone's on vacation.
Nick (Vermont)
Can you do an interview with Ryan Kerrigan next time you're in Ashburn?
Dan Graziano (1:04 PM)
Sean (Az)
what do you think Dan, plus or minus 4,000 yards passing for griffin this year?
Dan Graziano (1:04 PM)
Stop it.
Sonny (Other side of the tracks)
What have you heard or what do you think about possible Giants sleeper Ramses Barden ? What went wrong with him, I know he had injuries, but even when healthy he didn't play, and he's had good practises. Whats the deal with him, and what do you see happening with him ?
Dan Graziano (1:05 PM)
Hasn't been healthy. Showed some things last year in the New England game. They like his talent, need to see it translate on the field. He'll get his shot.
Nick (Vermont)
Thank You.
Dan Graziano (1:05 PM)

I teach all levels and styles of bass guitar. I have taught many beginners, as well as many pros who wanted to increase their proficiency in slap style. Since learning my first "thumb pop", I have excelled at slap-style playing.
Over the last 20 yrs. of teaching, I have found simple ways to impart this skill to students. Students are always amazed at how much better they can play and how quickly they can do so.
I serve North Dallas, Plano, Denton, McKinney, etc. If you live in this area, we could work together. I also provide session work for performance and recording.

Aldata's focus on traceability
Aldata, has developed a multi-modal voice recognition and bar code scanning solution "to cover the mandates."

The food safety act signed into law earlier this year puts new compliance regulations onto food and beverage manufacturers.
"Today, an inspector can come into your facility with little warning and in 24 hours, you have to be able to produce the data about your products that they are looking for," said Mark Engemann, national accounts manager, North America, for Aldata Solution (Booth 3081) at a booth visit Wednesday. "In order to do that, you need to be able to capture every touch in a facility along with the lot, batch and weight information needed for full product traceability."
Aldata, has developed a multi-modal voice recognition and bar code scanning solution "to cover the mandates," says Engemann. The solution allows a warehouse worker to seamlessly choose between bar code scanning to capture lot or catch weight information and a voice mode to confirm pick locations, items and quantities picked, all without toggling between applications. "Every time you touch a product, we're not only going to capture that information, we'll time and date stamp the event from the time product hits the DC door until it leaves," he told Modern.
In addition to multi-modal data capture solutions, Aldata has a full suite of supply chain execution, planning and retail point-of-sale solutions for grocery and retail businesses. The company's vision is to integrate those systems with the multi-modal data capture solution to provide real-time traceability from the DC to the store shelf to the check out counter. "We are not there yet, but that is the solution we are developing," Engemann says.
ProMat 2011 will be held March 21 - 24, 2011 at McCormick Place South in Chicago. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry.

Queen City Cookies
Edible Works of Art
Edible Art
When you first lay eyes on a shortbread cookie from Queen City Cookies, it's hard to imagine eating it. It seems too precious to disturb the painstakingly rendered details. But Peggy, a lifelong baker, wants her artistry to be experienced with the palate as well as the eyes. So we obliged, and discovered the flavor and texture of these cookies is every bit as luscious as the detailing.
The inspiration for Queen City Cookies is Springerle, a traditional German treat that's made using hand-carved molds to imprint designs into cookies. Peggy was taken by the intricate Springerle molds, some of which date back to the 14th century, and she started her own collection of cookie molds. The imagery -- love birds, hearts, flora and fauna -- is traditional, but Peggy's approach to taste and texture is modern. She starts with crisp shortbread then adorns it with a soft icing top that's hand-pressed with a design from her cookie molds. Each crispy, buttery cookie is a work of art, handmade to order with premium, preservative-free ingredients including farm-fresh eggs, whole cane sugar and European-style butter.
It's hard to decide which is more exquisite, the look of these stunning cookies or their rich, delicious taste. We'll happily call it a tie and savor every detail, every last bite. Read More Read Less
Grommet Launch Conversation
Hi! My name is Peggy Shannon and I'm the owner of Queen City Cookies. We're a small boutique bakery located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Queen City Cookies is known for made to order, hand-crafted premium works of edible art. Although we have a lot of fun creating magic in our bakery each day, we take making each batch of all-natural shortbread quite seriously. Our cookies are made using the highest caliber ingredients, like European style rich Plugrá butter, farm fresh eggs, and pure cane sugar. We believe you can taste the difference in each bite of Queen City Cookies buttery shortbread bliss. And, our attention to detail in our exquisite packaging is second to none. It's over the top luxury, designed to delight and pamper you!
Each cookie we make is truly an original work of edible art. Our crisp, buttery shortbread is cut by hand, then adorned with a soft icing imprinted with one of our 500+ antique molds. Finally, one of our bakery artisans trims each cookie with decorative piping. We've selected our finest cookies for you to enjoy on Daily Grommet. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
I can't wait to share our story and cookies with you on Daily Grommet! Just don't say they're too pretty to eat! Sure, they're beautiful, but they taste as good as they look!
Are your cookies kosher parve?
@Jo King: Hi, Jo! Big regrets, no. The shortbread bottom is kosher on it's own, but the icing top isn't kosher. We tried finding another icing to work with that would be kosher, but to date we haven't found one that would hold the imprints. I'm sorry, as kosher certification is important to us.
Would you be interested in making cookies to give as wedding favors? They are stunning and would be most suitable for the theme of the wedding. It would be a larger order and I noted that you had stated, smaller orders? How much would the cost be for about 6 or 7 dozen?
@Jennifer: We love working with weddings, but as each cookie is made by hand, we don't offer price reductions on the cookies. The cost depends on the size of the cookie. The collections on the Grommet are a great place to start for a range.
Is there a way to request delivery closer to Valentine's Day? Your cookies look amazing, btw!
@Becky: Your Valentine will swoon over these treat! The lovely Grommet folks can help with making your delivery perfect. Just indicate hold for Valentine's delivery on your order! Ohhhs and ahhhs guaranteed!
@Becky: When you are placing your order use the Gift Message box to indicate that you need the order held for a Valentine's Day delivery.
@Jennifer - check out https://www.queencitycookies.com/wedding-favors/index.html
Peggy, I realize that the icing isn't kosher. Does it have lard?
@Mindy: No lard, just extra butter and lots of love!
ADORABLE!! My mouth is watering just hearing and reading the words based on the ingredients you use.
Question: the price for a cookie card I noticed was 34.$ is that for four? What is the difference in what you receive from that one versus the ones that are for $36 dollars (i.e.; love one).
correction(SORRY!!): the cookie four count shows $32 and the themed ones show $34. What is the difference and how many cookies do you receive if you don't order the cookie card? Additionally, can I order cookie cards with the "love theme?" How are the cookies packaged and shipped? May I purchase a cookie and could you ship it directly to a different recipient writing the message on the cookie card on your own?
@CHITOWN MOMMY: Hi, Chittown Mommy! I'm thrilled you're enjoying these edible works of art. There's a couple differences between the two sets. The set of cards come with 4 cookies, all of which are affixed to a gold foiled card greeting card that has room for a personal greeting on the inside. It comes complete with an organza gift bag for each cookie. The images in the collection include: (Large) Spring Buds and Bees, (Large)Lovebirds, (Med.) Divine Lotus and a (Med.) Regal Elephant. This is the ONLY collection that comes only the decorative greeting cards.
The love themed collection includes more cookies, but these come in cello bags with hang tags. The cookie cards are a little more, as the adorable greeting cards and gift bags are included, where they are not with the other collections.
We'd be delighted to customize any message you'd like to send, and include for you at no charge. Simply create a second order with the Grommet for your friend, and we can take care of the rest!
@CHITOWN MOMMY: I realized I didn't respond to your packaging and shipping question. I have actually tried to respond 2x and my message disappeared! Lucky I am better at cookies than typing!
If you look at the card collection online @Daily Grommet you will see a hint of our periwinkle gift box. It's adorable with a scalloped front that is trimmed to resemble a dollie, and has a resealable velco tab. Inside the cookies are nestled in two different, yet coordinated sheets of tissue. Each box contains a hand written note of gratitude or inspiration, along with our fun elephant cards, each with an uplifiting quote or saying. But wait there's more!
We then place your gift box in a cloud of starch peanuts (take them outside and they melt!) to carry your gift to its desination. We seal the box with our custom navy printed sealing tape that has a brocade print, and says handle gently, elephant on board! Not to worry, our elephant printed on the tape will watch over your package to its destination. We then hand write the address on our 5 color mailing label, and for extra fun, add one of our gold foiled stickers to the top for extra delight! All this love is hand carried to your door by UPS.
Wow! Imagine how good the cookies are if we go to this much attention for shipping!
Excited to share Queen City Cookies with each of you! Thanks so much for your questions! We're here to please, so let us know how we can sweeten your day!
I would love to try these cookies as they are beautiful but the shipping cost is astronomical. Is there a chance these are available at any high end stores as a Nordstroms or Neiman Marcus? I don't necessarily shop there but would if I could purchase these closer to home.
@BD: Hi, BD! I am not sure where you live, but do hope you try the cookies from Daily Grommet. We've arranged special pricing with them to allow cookie connoisseurs like yourself the option to try something new and delicious. I can suggest a couple stores similar to Neimans, but the cookies are a bit higher than you'll find here. Most sites too mandate 2 day shipping for food, which can run as high as $25 and up. If you take a look above at the level of quality and attention to detail that goes into each shipping box, I think the shipping cost is almost too low. The cost of shipping each box is over $10, the shipping box over a $1 and then, we pay people good wages to work so they can make a living. I agree shipping in general is out of control and I wish that we could offer lower rates! We put the cost of the box and all of its love into the shipping, instead of the cookie price, hoping that would even out--especially since the entire experience from product to package is designed to pamper you!
@BD: double forgot :) Daily Grommet worked hard to keep the cost of the shipping down, and looked at ground shipping, so their guests weren't forced into the high price of 2 day--or even next day-- shipping that some sites force upon their customers who order food. And, small artisan bakeries and such don't have the clout massive chain stores do to secure super low rates, like mega retailers like WalMart and Amazon. So, Yay, Daily Grommet for allowing small bakeries the room to serve your guests!
How long will the cookies remain fresh?
@Cherry: Queen City recommends that you eat them within 2 weeks, but they will remain fresh for six weeks at which time the cookie will still be delicious but the frosting will become less tender. They shouldn't be stored in a freezer.
@Cherry: Hi, Cherry! Everyone wants that just baked freshness and we take great care in making sure each cokie arrives as fresh as possible! One of the ways we do that is we make each cookie to order. Since we pride ourselves in using only the finest quality ingredients and want no preservatives in our products--or bodies--the cookies are free of anything that is not natural. Therefore, the cookies are good for around six week, but are great just under a month.
We ship M-W so our cookies do not sit in a shipping truck over the weekend, experiencing out of control temps. This certainly helps maintain the freshness. Like you would with any cookie, remove it from its package and store in a cookie tin to maintain the best quality. That is, if you have any left to store :)
I'm fairly close to you (in Columbus, OH). Would it be possible to order six of the lighthouse decorated cookies as a Valentine gift for my boyfriend, or do I have to purchase the entire nautical set? I'm willing to make a trip to your shop if need be. Thanks!
@Dawn: Hello my fellow Buckeye! Of course, the entire set makes an amazing gift -- the folks at the Daily Grommet have done a wonderful job of picking out the best collection of our cookies. If you prefer just lighthouses, I'm sure that can be arranged. And remember, they taste great with Jeni's Ice Cream!
@Dawn: Try our cookies with Queen City Cayenne -- our favorite Jeni's location is North Market :)
I was truly delighted when I saw these beautiful cookies that I am building a tea party around them. My father passed away in December and he and my mother would have celebrated thirty-one years of marriage on Valentine's Day. I am going to host a tea party for Mom and some of her friends who helped us through this difficult time. Looking forward to having your cookies grace our table on a truly special day for our family.
@Dena Cordes: Dena, I am so sorry for your loss. That's always hard, and really awful during the holiday season. What a wonderful way to express your love for him, and create what I hope will be a new tradition with your mother. I can't wait to hear how the blessing unfolds during this special Valentine's Day. Pictures please! And thank you for allowing us to be part of the magic!
Do you do baby themed cookies? I'm having a baby shower on March 17 and have been trying to find something unusual & these are stunning!
@Laura: How fun, Laura! We love baby showers! The love collection here on the Grommet would be a great choice. There's also many wonderful images with babies on our site. Let us know how we can help! And please, send congrats our way!!
Absolutely beautiful cookies! They are works of art.
@ Yvette: Thank you for stopping by to share your experience. The cookies are indeed gorgeous.
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

ATHENS, Ga. -- A federal bankruptcy judge has rejected an Athens widow's claim that former University of Georgia football coach Jim Donnan tricked her late husband into investing in a Ponzi scheme.
The late Dr. Stephen Fennell, a frequent golf partner of Donnan's at an Athens country club, did invest $450,000 in a company Donnan was touting, GLC Ltd., and that company did turn out to be a Ponzi scheme, United States Bankruptcy Judge James P. Smith wrote in a decision filed Thursday in the Middle District of Georgia bankruptcy court.
But lawyers for the doctor's widow, Valerie Fennell, failed to prove Donnan knew he was asking Fennell, battling cancer in 2010, to participate in a Ponzi scheme, Smith wrote. Fennell died May 30, 2011.
"The court rejects Plaintiff's argument that proof of the Ponzi scheme alone, without proof of Donnan's knowing participation therein, is sufficient to supply the element of intent required under (applicable federal law)," Smith wrote.
In a Ponzi scheme, money from later investments is used to pay earlier investors until the pyramid of investments falls apart.
GLC filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and Donnan and his wife Mary soon did the same.
Smith's ruling cheered lawyers for Donnan, who still faces heavy federal criminal charges in connection with the GLC bankruptcy.
In April, a federal grand jury indicted Donnan and GLC owner Greg Crabtree on 85 criminal counts, alleging the two conspired to commit mail fraud and wire fraud by deceiving investors into investing into the GLC Ponzi scheme.
Donnan, UGA's head football coach from 1996 to 2000, has entered a not guilty plea to the charges. Donnan was one of the early investors and reaped millions in profits from his investments in the company. He also persuaded other investors, including several prominent sports figures, to sink millions into the scheme.
Between 2007 and 2010, some 103 people and companies, including Dr. Fennell, invested about $81 million in GLC. In that same span, GLC bought about $11 million worth of goods, had sales of about $6 million, and paid investors more than $70 million, according to Smith's ruling.
GLC listed debts of about $27 million when the company filed for bankruptcy in 2011, including millions owed to investors.
Donnan and his family profited handsomely from GLC before the company went belly-up. He and his family invested a little more than $6 million and got $14.6 million back, a profit of about $8.6 million. Donnan also got more than $2 million in commissions for the deals he made with other investors, the federal bankruptcy judge noted.
But Donnan has maintained that when he persuaded others to invest, he thought he was sharing his good fortune with them – not deceiving them into a Ponzi scheme – and should be counted as one more victim of the Ponzi scheme.
The bankruptcy judge said that evidence presented by Fennell's lawyers did not prove otherwise, including documents Donnan prepared for some of the agreements he solicited for GLC.
"In any event, all of the documents make reference to specific product deals and there is simply nothing in these documents that would suggest that Donnan knew that the underlying deals were fictitious," Smith wrote.
"Plaintiff has failed to establish that Donnan knowingly participated in the GLC Ponzi scheme."
Donnan testified that he knew little of the buying and selling part of GLC, which started out as a legitimate inventory liquidation business, buying and selling consumer products, for example patio furniture, Smith noted.
But the company became insolvent in 2008, and after that, "GLC was more in the business of bringing in investment capital than producing income from sales," the judge wrote. "Most of the money from investors was used to pay other investors, rather than to purchase inventory or create sales."

After Britney Spears' 'Womanizer' broke record as the most downloaded track, she has to let go the title to Taylor Swift whose 'Today Was a Fairytale' is picked up 39,000 more than Spears'.
Taylor Swift has shattered Britney Spears' first-week download record after fans raced to get hold of her new single "Today Was a Fairytale". The country music sensation now holds the record for the best download debut by a female artist after the new song was picked up 325,000 times in the past week - 39,000 more than Spears' "Womanizer" in 2008.
Billboard chart compilers at Nielsen SoundScan have confirmed the tune from the singer's new film "Valentine's Day" will be Swift's first number one on the Digital Songs countdown; it will also debut at two on the Billboard Hot 100. Both charts will officially be released on Thursday, January 28.
Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" is the only song that stands in the way of a Swift number one debut. The dance track will claim a sixth successive week at the top. The record for the biggest opening week belongs to the Black Eyed Peas, who debuted "Boom Boom Pow" in April 2009 with 465,000 downloads.
The track went on to spend 12 weeks at the top of the U.S. pop charts. It has also been a good week for downloaded tracks performed at George Clooney's Hope For Haiti Now telethon on Friday night, January 22 - Billboard.com reports 334,000 downloads have been registered in less than two days of availability.
Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge and Rihanna's "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)" was the event's biggest hit with 131,000, while Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris' cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" comes in second.

Good for linerThis brush is stiff and holds it shape which makes it excellent for applying powder liner to top and bottom lids. I wouldn't recommend it for any other use though, in which case you may be better off finding a cheaper brush for your liner. — 9 years, 6 months agoBeamerCG | 184 reviews

The Barnes & Noble Review Celebrates One Year As Top Literary Destination
Exciting Fall Lineup of Acclaimed Author Interviews and Reviews including Dan Menaker, Neal Stephenson, Stephen King, Greil Marcus
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS), the world's largest bookseller, today announced that the Barnes & Noble Review (www.bn.com/review), an online literary destination for readers, featuring industry-heralded book reviews, columns, features, and interviews from a wide range of established critics, reviewers, and authors, is celebrating its first anniversary. From its launch last October, the Barnes & Noble Review has been recognized as an important new voice on the literary scene, publishing full-length daily book reviews on a wide range of new titles, from thrillers to literary fiction, biography to politics, poetry to memoir, bestsellers to the best of the academic presses.
"We intend to maintain the standard of quality we have set, and at the same time continue to look for fresh ways to invite readers into a wide-ranging—and fun—discussion of books, culture, and ideas."
As it embarks upon its second year, the Barnes & Noble Review will continue its extensive coverage of books, music, and DVDs as well as its series of in-depth interviews, monthly columns, and weekly features. Building on the success of its popular multimedia presentations, Guest Books: Notable Readers Share Their 3 Favorite Books and Five Books: The Smart Reader's Guide to Good Reading, and its new web video Gallery: Author Insight into Art and Artists, the Review will continue to expand the reach of the traditional book review with innovative features that take advantage of web technology.
"At a time when so many newspapers are cutting their book review sections, we've been pleased to be able to offer a broad and deep new venue for readers and writers alike," said James Mustich, Editor-in-Chief of the Barnes & Noble Review. "We intend to maintain the standard of quality we have set, and at the same time continue to look for fresh ways to invite readers into a wide-ranging—and fun—discussion of books, culture, and ideas."
Regular contributors to the Barnes & Noble Review include such acclaimed writers as Tom Carson, Edward Champion, Michael Dirda, John Freeman, A.C. Grayling, Sheri Homan, Ezra Klein, Paul LaFarge, Mark Sarvas, Dava Sobel, Tess Taylor, and Barbara Spindel.
In early October, esteemed music critic Greil Marcus makes his first appearance in the Review with an essay on Bob Dylan's new release, Tell Tale Signs. Other forthcoming reviews of special note include Dan Menaker on Art Spiegelman's Breakdowns, Max Byrd on James M. McPherson: Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief, and Alexandra Mullen on J. K. Rowling's Tales of Beedle the Bard. This fall, the Barnes & Noble Interview will also bring readers exclusive in-depth conversations with science fiction icon Neal Stephenson, composer John Adams, and bestselling novelist Khaled Hosseini, among others. The Interview archive already boasts insightful exchanges with Philip Roth, Philip Pullman, Geraldine Brooks, Richard Price, Jonathan Franzen, Salman Rushdie, Renée Fleming and more.
The Review's line-up of regular columnists is also growing. Bestselling romance novelist Eloisa James's monthly Reading Romance column, offering insights into one of the most popular genres, appears in the first week of each month, while Brooke Allen's witty and wide-ranging Reader's Diary appears in the last. Starting in October, James and Allen will be joined by steampunk pioneer Paul DiFilippo, as he inaugurates The Speculator, a monthly Science Fiction & Fantasy column, with an appreciation of the late Tom Disch. An audiobook column will launch later in the season.
Regular weekly features on the Review continue to offer readers book news that's both entertaining and enlightening. In November, Stephen King will bring his three favorite reads to Guest Books, where he will join Jamie Lee Curtis, George Pelecanos, and Sandra Tsing Loh in our growing group of notables. The Review's eclectic Long List, presenting the editors' choice of the 50 books, CDs, and DVDs readers should know about now, is updated with new titles each week, and the brief reviews carried in the Spotlight offer a quick look at books, DVDs, and CDs you shouldn't miss.
Stepping out of the virtual world, the Barnes & Noble Review will continue its In Person series on December 2, with a live conversation with Khaled Hosseini at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in New York City.
The Review's original literary material joins a plethora of multimedia content on Barnes & Noble.com, including video features and forums on the Barnes & Noble Studio (www.bn.com/studio) and Barnes & Noble Book Clubs (www.bn.com/bookclubs), to provide an all-encompassing, multi-faceted resource for book lovers around the globe.

We booked a 2 Deluxe Twin Private Ensuite, which wasn't deluxe but clean. The major issue was the bunk bed, which was not mentioned in the description ( at least I can't find it). The ensuite bathroom was very small. To put it in a nutshell: We would not come back as we expected something different, but we can recommend it for backpacker or single travelers.

Lovely Pension. We did not really expect fun at this place. Location is good but it could be a bit more central. Anyhow connection via public transportation to Munich City is fine.

I think these, which were pointed out to me by someone on another thread here a few days ago, are very useful....http://www.websitecodetutorials.com/code/css/css-center-nav.php
however, one problem: I tried examples 4, 5, & 6... they all work fine until........... I set the nav to position:fixed, which is what I need because I need the nav to stay put when user scrolls down the page.... is there a way to make any of these work with position:fixed?
thank you...
I tried a few examples using fixes positions and they all worked fine, do you have an example website/code we can see?
thank you for your response...
here's one without setting position to fixed...http://mayacove.com/dev/rd/nav_demo4.html(i.e., pretty much the the orig example....)
here's one with the top nav set to position:fixed...http://mayacove.com/dev/rd/nav_demo4_fixed.html
the only difference betw the two is the position setting for the #nav....
thank you.......
I have not been following this issue, but on the surface it seems that the following code included in either example shown it would fix the menu to the top of the window, if that's what you want.
#nav {
oh my gosh.. this is awesome!! responsive, centered, fluid, fixed..:-) what more do I want? ;~))
thank you so much....
(do you have IE handy? could you see if it works in IE please if you do...http://mayacove.com/dev/rd/nav_demo4_fixed.html
thank you so much....
Works in IE8.
My Win7 box is off, so someone else will have to test the modern IE.

Prince Philip has finally been able to meet his great-grandson for the first time after Prince William and wife chartered a private jet to fly the family to Scotland.
Prince Philip reportedly has cuddled Prince George for the first time since the baby's arrival almost two months ago. Prince William apparently chartered a private plane to take his wife Kate Middleton and their son to see Prince Philip on Sunday, September 15.
According to a Daily Mirror report, Prince William and his family landed at Aberdeen airport on Sunday afternoon. They later took a car to Balmoral Castle, where Prince Philip and the Queen have been residing since late July. "This was an incredible moment for Philip. He has been desperate to meet his great grandson and having the family together is really special for him," a source said.
Prince Philip was not able to meet Prince George after his arrival because he was in recovery at Sandringham following an exploratory abdominal surgery. The Queen met baby Prince George for the first time when he was brought to Kensington shortly after his birth.
According to Daily Mail, Prince William and his family will be at Balmoral for a week. The royal family is believed to take a special picture together with the little prince to commemorate the moment of three heirs to the throne, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George being alive at the same time.
"Everyone has been waiting for this photo to be taken, and of course the Duke of Edinburgh has been looking forward to seeing his great-grandson. It's wonderful that the family have finally got together," a source said. The last time such picture was taken was in 1894 with Queen Victoria, Edward VII, grandson George V and great grandson Edward VIII featured in the photo.

Sterilization of capital inflows through the banking sector: evidence from Asia
This paper develops an open-economy version of the Bernanke-Blinder model which indicates that sterilization efforts through increases in reserve requirements will have limited impact if viable financial alternatives to the commercial banking sector exists. We then examine the capital inflow surge experiences of seven developing Asian nations. Our analysis yields three stylized conclusions: First, the timing of capital inflow surges indicates a causal role for both domestic and foreign factors. Second, there is little general rule as to the most effective sterilization instrument. Finally, the experiences of the developing nations during their capital inflow surge period largely coincide with the predictions of the model. Korea, the country with the largest nonbank financial sector, had the least success in stemming the impact of capital inflow surges despite intervention through both open market operations and increased reserve requirements. ; Published in FRBSF Economic Review (1995, no. 3, p 17-34)

It's a rare occurrence for Radiohead to make an appearance on American television. It's also rare for The Colbert Report to run for an hour and focus on just one guest. Which is why Sept. 26 will be like Haley's Comet, a lunar eclipse, and a new Scott Walker album all rolled into one: Radiohead will appear on a special hour-long Colbert Report and perform four songs from this year's The King Of Limbs and a new song, "The Daily Mail." Colbert says he plans on "leveraging their anti-corporate indie cred to raise brand awareness for my sponsors." We're laughing already!
Radiohead appears to be making the most out of its visit to New York City: The band will also perform on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on Sept. 24, and play two shows Sept. 28 and 29 at the Roseland Ballroom. Tickets go on sale Sept. 26.

Bama Hits Road
Last September, Alabama upset then-No. 16 Arkansas to give coach Nick Saban his first win over a ranked opponent since he was hired to restore the program to national prominence.
That process has gone smoothly for Saban and the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide, and now one year later, first-year Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino is hoping for similar results as he enters his first big test since taking over the Razorbacks.
Oddsmakers from Sportsbook.com have made Alabama –9.5 point spread favorites (View College Football odds) for Saturday's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 85% of bets for this game have been placed on Alabama –9.5 (View College Football bet percentages).
Petrino and the rebuilding Razorbacks host Saban and the Crimson Tide on Saturday in each team's SEC opener.
Saban led Alabama to a 7-6 record during the team's transition season in 2007, and all six of those losses were by seven points or fewer. Saban's first year gave Crimson Tide fans reason to be optimistic about the program's future, and a 41-38 home victory over Arkansas was one of the highlights.
Alabama blew two 21-point leads in that game, but scored with eight seconds left to secure the win - its first in conference play under Saban, who now has the Tide (3-0) in the AP's top 10 for the first time since the final poll of the 2005 season.
Petrino hopes he can turn around the Razorbacks (2-0) just as quickly. Arkansas went 8-5 last season, finishing outside the Top 25 despite featuring two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden and fellow first-round NFL draft pick Felix Jones in the backfield.
Petrino, who spent the majority of last season as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, would benefit greatly from a win over Alabama. That could be a challenge, however, as the Crimson Tide have put together three dominating efforts to start the season.
Alabama outgained Western Kentucky 557-158 in a 41-7 rout last Saturday.
"We started the game out but most importantly we finished," Saban said. "That's what we wanted to try to accomplish. The goal in this game was to go prove that you could play to your capacity, you could play your best football."
John Parker Wilson completed 17 of 27 passes for 215 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, and became the Crimson Tide's all-time leader in total offense with 6,321 yards. Ten Alabama receivers had at least one catch last week.
"It was good to come out and start the way we did. We were able to sustain the whole game," Wilson said. "A bunch of guys caught the ball which is good. It makes it hard on the defense when you can spread it around like that. You don't have to rely on one person. The more guys that get touches, the better we are going to do as a team."
Alabama can be just as proud of its defense, which despite the loss of six starters, has allowed only one offensive touchdown in the first three games. The Tide lead the Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing defense, holding opponents to 42.7 yards per game. They're giving up only 1.9 yards per carry, and haven't allowed a run longer than 13 yards.
"Ever since the fall camp started I knew what kind of potential this defense had and I knew we would be better anyway just because everybody understood it a lot better," said defensive end Lorenzo Washington, last year's starting nose tackle.
That doesn't bode well for Arkansas, which was scheduled to play at Texas last Saturday before the game was pushed back to Sept. 27 because of severe weather brought on by Hurricane Ike.
The Razorbacks started slowly in their last game Sept. 6, but salvaged a 28-27 victory over Louisiana-Monroe after Casey Dick completed an eight-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Williams with 1:22 remaining.
That was a familiar scenario for Arkansas, which has trailed at halftime of both of its games and has led for a total of 3:11 in the second halves.
"We moved the ball, but didn't get points. That was certainly something that was a concern of mine," Petrino said. "You look at the first half stats and the number of rushes and the number of carries, the yardage we had, we should've been up by 14 or 21 points and we weren't. That always comes back to haunt you."
Though he's frustrated with his team's sluggish starts, Petrino is just as pleased with the way it's been able to close out games.
"I was proud of the way our team held together," he said. "Our young guys, our freshman guys are getting better. They learned a lot the last two games. ... We played harder, we played faster and we won the game, and that's the most important thing, that we came away with the win."
Another strong finish could be the key to beating Alabama, as the teams' last two meetings have been decided by a total of four points. The Tide lead the all-time series 10-8, and Saban is 4-2 in his career against the Razorbacks, dating to his tenure with LSU.

Warsaw (Jul. 19)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Three hundred worshippers have severed their affiliation with the Warsaw synagogue on Tlomackie Street, the leading synagogue in Poland's capital, it was announced today.
The synagogue has a membership of 1,000 men and 800 women. The falling off of membership was due to the recent decision of the Board to raise the membership fees, many of the members finding it impossible to pay because of their economic condition.

Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan on Monday said he is open to running for a seat in federal politics.
"I would certainly keep an open mind to that, but I haven't made a decision yet," the provincial Liberal told reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Toronto. In October, Mr. Duncan said he would retire from provincial politics and would not run in the next election.
While Mr. Duncan said he is considering running federally, he said he has not consulted Justin Trudeau, one of the early front runners for the federal Liberal leadership.
"I've known Justin for a number of years. I offered to help on his leadership campaign," Mr. Duncan said. "We haven't even talked about me running."
Mr. Duncan said he would sign up as a federal candidate depending on "the direction of the country and where I'm at in my own life." He declined to say whether his interest would rise if Mr. Trudeau won the leadership battle.
"I've made a decision to leave public life because I needed a bit of a change, but when I announced back in October, I said I would certainly keep the door open to that kind of opportunity," he said.Report Typo/Error

During open play sessions, kids run and jump on a massive play structure complete with four giant slides. Preschoolers build cognitive abilities and develop confidence during programs such as Strong Totz, which teaches kids how various sports work.
While kids play, parents burn calories with aerobic kickboxing or extreme conditioning classes, or they cement their trust on high-ropes courses for couples. Parents and kids refuel at the onsite Sandella's Flatbread Café, which serves healthy food such as quesadillas, paninis, and wraps.

I'm a month into training for my own twenty-six (point two) mile crampfest -- Nashville's Country Music Marathon -- and I'm increasingly apprehensive as I cross each day off the calendar. Distance running isn't exactly a good time, since it often leads to blisters the size of Schnauzers or the kind of chafing that feels like you've gotten to second base with a belt sander.Last week for NBC Sports- Out of Bounds, I chronicled--what else?--the chafe-tastic unpleasantness of marathon training. My editor suggested that I type a first-person account of something sports-related, so until eating off-brand fish sticks and consistently exceeding my credit limit become competitive events, I'm limited to writing about running.
It will be my fourth marathon and I'm still not sure why I'm putting myself through another Costco-sized serving of agony. Maybe I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that lingers long after the post-race ice bath. Or maybe I just enjoy exceeding the recommended dosage of ibuprofen.
Confidential to Chase Visa: Instead of the minimum payment this month, I'll be sending you half a bag of Skittles and a drawing of my saddest face.
