Studying under the sun
Harvard University's Widener Library renovations included designing a building-within- a-building to create a reading room "under the sun." Two skylights were installed while the building remained open. The skylight frame was mounted to hold clear, low-e glass at the building's exterior, followed by ½-in. of air space, a silkscreen, another ¼-in. of clear glass, a laminate layer which blocks UV rays, and finally a prismatic glass on the skylight's interior. Whew!

See-through sky
Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights, Ohio, asked van Dijk Westlake Reed Leskosky, Cleveland, to design a connection to the school's new addition. For special effect, the four-story atrium Great Hall was topped off by a large skylight. The custom-made BMS 3000 segmented-barrel vault skylight was installed to give staff and students an unobstructed view.

mindi – you need to check on this: if this was indeed the old Searle bldg in Skokie, I think Pharmacia may have closed it down (due to merger with Pfizer). plz check. If it's still occupied, we can use it.
Healing rays
The Pharmacia building in Skokie, Ill.installed two skylights in its south atrium with a reflective lens film and a linear fresnel lens pattern in combination with a transparent radial lens film. The reflective film was installed to act as a "fuzzy mirror" with a 10% beam spread to help focus light onto the atrium floor, while the linear grooves provide better light fill and eliminate the annoying glare typically associated with specular reflection. The reflective lens film was laminated to the inside face of the metal panels set directly into the skylight frame itself, providing the right amount of sunlight and the look that Pharmacia wanted to achieve.

Caution: Wet floor
Southern Indiana's Rehab Hospital in New Albany, Ind., chose the anti-microbial, smooth sheet-vinyl flooring, Londura, for their hydrotherapy room because of its ability to remain slip-free even with the extreme dampness and corrosive chemicals present in the room. Londura made the therapy room more sanitary and easier to clean, says David Reynolds, manager of facilities and purchasing for the hospital. The flooring is best for any anti-slip area in schools, fitness centers, hospitals, or retail spaces.

Over the ocean
Tampa's International Airport newly constructed Airside E, a 14-gate facility for Delta Airlines and Hillsborough County Aviation Authority, combines carpet and 21,000 sq. ft. of porcelain stone tile to create a "shimmering effect of the ocean," says designer Kelly Taaffe of Kelly Taaffe Design, Inc. in Tampa. The combination of carpet, and polished and unpolished tile produced a 3-D effect of a bridge over water. The unpolished Cross-Colors tiles and the polished Gentry Gold tile created the look that was desired.

Nike first developed an air cushioning system for their athletic shoes in 1979, but it wasn't until 1987 that the first models with a visible air pocket in the soles became available. The air bubble is formed by a plastic bladder embedded in the midsole of the shoe. The size and shape of the bladder varies by model, but in some Nike Air shoes, it's possible to see right through the soles. Since they're on the lowest part of the shoe, they can become cloudy or dirty.
Things You'll Need
- Wash rag
- Mild detergent or sneaker cleaning solution
- Water
- Old toothbrush
- Towel
Clean the surface of the shoe with a damp rag, wiping away any dirt.
Spray the Nike Air shoes with shoe cleaner or a mild detergent mixed with water.
Wet an old toothbrush and use it to scrub the dirt out of the cracks and crevices of the shoe, including around the air bubble.
Wipe the surface of the shoe with a clean damp cloth to remove the dirt. You can rinse them under a faucet first if they are very dirty. Be careful not to get water inside the shoe.
Dry off the shoes with a towel and allow them to finish air drying before wearing.
Tips & Warnings
- Do not put the shoes in the washer or dryer. The tumbling action can cause the layers of the shoe to separate.

Sharpton Angled Himself Into The Jackson's "Victory Tour"
Photo: WENN
While being turned into an operational informant for the federal government, Al Sharpton was secretly recording Joseph Buonanno and simultaneously angling for a role in The Jackson's lucrative "Victory" tour. Sharpton argued that Michael Jackson and his brothers were not "giving back to the community that supported them since their days on the black chitlin' circuit," and was eventually given a $500,000 budget to cover the distribution of free tickets to poor communities during the 55-concert tour. Eventually, Sharpton and his "Pride Patrol" enlistees were accused of extorting money, to which the former vehemently denied.
What do you think of this revelatory news? Is Al Sharpton an informant or not? Speak on it!

Top Doc comes to Albany
Thu, 11 Nov 2010 22:47:59 GMT —
One of Georgia's top doctors in his field was in Albany today.
Pediatric neurologist, Dr. Bernard Maria from the Medical College of Georgia was in town treating patients.
12-year-old Shannon Lindsey has Tourette syndrome but doesn't have a doctor nearby.
Her mother says they used to have drive to Atlanta to get treatment.
"He was great he was very warm, and kind and knowledgeable. He put her at ease. So we are really happy we are here," said Shannon's mother, Terrie.
"It's very difficult on families on to travel, to displace, to get away from work, to take care of other children, to bring their children to us. So we are working very hard on taking what sub-specialties we have to offer for our children's hospital and making sure that that is available here," said Dr. Maria.
Dr. Maria left Albany late today, but will be back treating more patients at Phoebe next month.

Your body's response to certain kinds of medications and supplements can lead to rash and are often difficult to cure. The rash's drug reaction is commonly characterized by a reddish skin with irritation and even fissures that can lead to hives. Serious responses can happen in rare cases. It is advised that when you acquire drug reaction rash, you should immediately consult your doctor so that it can be treated the soonest time possible. It is vital to treat drug reaction rash immediately to avoid further spread of the condition. Here are tips on how to prevent this type of rashes.
Tip #1: Warm baths.
Immerse yourself in warm baths containing 1 cup oatmeal to alleviate severe itchiness and irritation.
Tip #2: Choose the right soap.
Stay away from utilizing abrasive soaps as well as skin care products in the region of the distressed parts. Cleanse the parts using natural based oatmeal soap instead.
Tip #3: Obtain an injection of epinephrine.
Epinephrine injections are administered by doctors in hospitals to cure serious allergic responses. The medicine will alleviate your system and avoid the beginning of anaphylactic shock. In some cases, epinephrine injections can be administered by you or your friend as long as you have the proper advice of your doctor on the case.
Epinephrine is a prescription medicine. You cannot obtain it without the prescription from your doctor. As soon as the reaction is felt, you have to medicate it immediately. Medical practitioners can also be alerted by using medical alert bracelets to let them know about your condition; so that they can give you the necessary medication for the drug reaction rash at once.
Tip #4: Take in antihistamines.
There are over-the-counter antihistamines that can immediately help cure the indications of drug allergies. Since allergic responses develop extra histamines in the body, your system will combat the drug the way it would to a poison. These histamines will lead to allergic responses that will lead to itchiness, hives, wounds, runny nose as wells as abdominal or respiratory predicaments. Antihistamines contain the ability to moderate the influence of histamines as well as lessen the symptoms associated to it. You can immediately take in antihistamines as soon as you feel the symptoms of drug reaction rashes.
Tip #5: Utilize bronchodilators.
Bronchodilators as well as other forms of asthma treatments can help you breathe properly throughout the allergic response because it will open the air passages in the respiratory system. However, this type of medication has no ability to treat every single type of allergy because it can only cure one particular indication, the breathing problem. Bronchodilators and asthma medications are commonly obtained through prescription; so if you have drug reaction rashes ask your doctor if it is possible for you to always carry the medication for immediate treatment.
Tip #6: Put on cold compress onto the skin.
Cold compress can help alleviate the itchiness you experience due to drug reaction rash and it can also reduce all the other symptoms associated to it. You can tenderly press a washcloth with ice cubes around the affected areas of your skin. You can do the cold compress as needed. The cold compress can go through the nerve endings that cause itchiness that is why the symptom will be relieved. If a large part of your skin is affected by drug reaction rash, it will help if you will immerse yourself in a cold bath.
Lastly, if you had already determined that the rashes you have are due to some types of medicines you are taking, it is better if you will consult the doctor to see if you can stop using the medicines causing the rashes.

Mike London wins 2-year contract and raise
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Virginia football coach Mike London has won a two-year contract extension and a raise, increasing his annual salary to $2.1 million.
News of the contract restructuring came Friday from Atlanta, where London is preparing the Cavaliers for their first bowl appearance since the 2007 season. Virginia faces Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Saturday.
The two-year addition will extend London's contract through 2016.
The raise increases his salary by $400,000 annually. London's extension also includes a longevity bonus effective January 2015.
Virginia athletics director Craig Littlepage said the assistant football coaches on London's staff will also see their pay increase.
He said contract changes are critical to maintaining the program's momentum.
London was named the Atlantic Coach Conference's coach of the year after leading the Cavaliers to an 8-4 record.

Dan Pontbriand is a very determined man. Some people might even regard him as stubborn. He has a streak of curiosity within him that sometimes….. well, sometimes it just seems to consume him. Dan is also the Lake District Ranger stationed at Storm King Ranger Station on the shores of Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park. For 6 years, until recently, he was the Dive Officer of the Olympic National Park Dive Team established by the National Park Service to handle emergencies and other situations calling for the use of divers in the Park. Since he arrived at the lake almost 18 years ago, Dan has become fascinated with its history, both natural and mysterious, and has made numerous dives there to both satisfy his curiosity and prove points.
In April of 2001, Dan met another very determined man, who also was consumed with curiosity. His name was Bob Caso, and the difference between them was that Bob had been consumed with curiosity regarding the same mystery for almost 50 years. When they met, Bob was 77 years old, and had been a member of a team of divers that explored the lake back in the 1950's searching for the answer to a riddle that no one had yet been able to solve. Upon meeting Dan, Bob started telling him about such things as a mysterious disappearance, logging camp rumors, a missing vehicle, and orphaned children……all tied in somehow with the deep, cold waters of Lake Crescent.
Within minutes of meeting Bob Caso, Dan was hooked. His curiosity was piqued. Determination set in. His mind started to swirl with possibilities. It was now only a matter of time.
Russell and Blanch Warren had moved to Washington from Idaho in the mid 1920's in search of work in the then-thriving timber industry. Russell had been hired on at a logging camp near the Bogachiel River and together he and Blanch were building a future on a homestead there along with their two young boys, Frank and Charles. On July 3rd, 1929, Russell Warren drove his 1927 Chevrolet into the town of Port Angeles to pick up his wife, who had briefly been at a local hospital. After picking up Blanch, together the two of them did some grocery shopping for the family, made two months' payment on their car loan, and then made a major purchase – a new washing machine to make their life in the camp a bit easier. Before he had left the logging camp that morning, Russell Warren had told his boys that together the family would celebrate the 4th of July the next day at the famous Solduc Hot Springs. The entire family eagerly looked forward to the fun and festivities. After securing the newly purchased washing machine, the Warrens turned their car West and headed home toward their boys.
They never made it.....
The search for the missing couple commenced almost immediately, search teams combing the roadside and surrounding forest between Port Angeles and the Bogachiel River. The search continued for months with all avenues being explored and all clues, no matter how bizarre, being followed. Common sense, however, placed the emphasis of the search at the shores of deep, bone-chilling Lake Crescent. Unlike today, the highway paralleling the shore of the lake was a simple dirt road with very little guardrail. Six weeks would pass before the first tangible clue would be found. In mid-August, a local resident found broken glass and marks on a log in shallow water and on shore, causing searchers to concentrate their attention on a location then known as "Madrona Point" as the most likely location of the tragedy. A cap was found near shore that Russell Warren's oldest son, Frank, identified as belonging to his father. Sounding and dragging operations took place down to 100 feet with the only result being a visor recovered from a ledge at about 40 feet. Surface supplied diving equipment was obtained from Seattle, a diver dropping down to 78 feet in his search. He reported "scarring" on the bottom that to him clearly indicated the plunge of a car down the slope toward deeper water. A reward was posted for the recovery of the vehicle, but over the months and years it was never claimed.
In the absence of hard evidence, gross speculation made its ugly appearance. Those with nothing but fertile imaginations concocted bizarre stories as a means of getting their names in the papers. One woman claimed that she had seen "a white man and some Indians" come up to the back porch of the Warren homestead and "hold a drinking spree" on the day the couple disappeared. The story took an even stranger twist when supposedly a mysterious, hidden grave was found near the home. When excavated it proved to be simply where the family had planted and dug potatoes. Another suspected "gravesite" was found to hold the remains of a dead cow.
While all this was going on the two Warren boys endured the cruel taunts of their schoolmates and the pitying glances of those who believed their parents had simply abandoned them. The boys would eventually live out their lives not knowing the truth but apparently believing that in fact their parents had simply left for reasons they would never fully understand.
In the 1950s new possibilities of underwater search and recovery opened up with the advent of SCUBA. As a young navy sailor stationed in the area during World war II, Bob Caso had listened to the stories and heard all the rumors. Now, he and a team of friends believed that they had the necessary equipment to search the lake and solve the mystery. For months they plunged into the lake, combing the waters near the shoreline for clues that would help solve the big mystery some of them remembered from their childhood. Everything they found and every lead they followed proved to be a dead end, but still they persisted, diving to the depths they could on compressed air with the equipment then available. Gradually, as the months went by the team members either moved away, embarked on careers, or lost interest……everyone but Bob. Knowing that eventually the mystery would be solved as technology improved and the ability to dive deeper came; Bob wanted to continue to be part of the search. He turned from diving to archiving - painstakingly researching newspaper records, talking with those who had participated in the search in 1929, taking notes, and collecting any and all information that could help future searchers. Literally, Bob became the Warren's historian.
It was with this bundle of information, enthusiasm and a gleam in his eye that he approached District Ranger Dan Pontbriand in April, 2001.
With a similar gleam in his eye, Dan began searching immediately. Assembling a team of divers from within the Ranger staff in Olympic National Park, they began to scour the depths along the shoreline of the huge lake, looking for anything out of the ordinary. A problem had arisen – over the years as logging operations halted, Highway 101 was built and paved, and Olympic National Park was created – the names of various locations at the lake had been altered or completely changed. "Madrona Point" no longer showed on any available map. This situation forced the dive team to dive on and investigate every possible point of shoreline that a vehicle could have careened off of into the water. The trail had not only grown cold, it had significantly broadened.
The team expanded as a small group of volunteer civilian divers joined the Rangers in their quest. The father and son team, Bill and Joe Walker, devoted their weekends for months searching for clues, while others such as Jerome Ryan and myself contributed our deep-water skills whenever we could. The excitement of the team grew as first one, then another, old car from the right time period was discovered, only to have our hopes dashed as they proved to both be Ford Model A's.
Frustration forgotten, the team continued their search and in December, 2001, things started to happen. An old map pre-dating the park was discovered that indicated that "Meldrim Point" and "Madrona Point" were one and the same. To the team, it was like finding a treasure map! Having found a place of high probability to search, a chain of artifact discoveries was made that led in virtually a straight line from a slight curve in the road down into progressively deeper water. Recovered were such items as a black flower vase, a tire pump and a rusted car step. Most importantly, the lid to a late 1920's Norge washing machine was found that could possibly have been of the same make and model as that purchased by the Warrens on that last fateful shopping trip. The following month, still more evidence was recovered – the remains of a wooden grocery box and some Mason jars along with a still full bottle of White Ace shoe polish. Again, the recovery was in a direct line with the other artifacts leading down from the curve in the roadway. The trail was so hot it was screaming. Amidst all of the excitement, Dan happened to notice that the curve was located at a small point at which a lone Madrona tree was growing…….further proof, if any more was needed, that "Madrona Point" had finally been found. Over the years its name had been altered to "Meldrim Point", but locals and the Park Rangers now refer to it as "Ambulance Point".
Volunteer search and recovery experts, Gene and Sandy Ralston of the Innerspace Exploration Team Company, now provided their services as part of the search, scanning the bottom within the now narrowed search area with side-scan sonar. Their "towfish" emitted sound waves from two window ports on either side of the device as Gene slowly piloted their search vessel back and forth across the area leading downward from the point. At 188 feet an image of what appeared to be a washing machine came through clearly on the side scan and the stage was set for the advent of the next part of the team – the deep technical divers.
The day following the side-scan discovery of the washing machine, my partner, Jerome Ryan, and I were tasked with dropping down from the small flotilla of boats to the washing machine and then marking it with a line and buoy for possible recovery later. Following that, the plan then was for us to slowly drop down to 220 FFW in a search pattern looking for any signs of the missing car or additional wreckage. Each of us wore our beloved doubles with additional stage bottles carrying our decompression mixes beneath each arm, each filled with high percentages of oxygen to decrease our deco time. Our planned bottom time was 20 minutes, but with our decompression time we would be under the frigid waters (44 degrees!) of the lake for over an hour. Acting as tenders, a pair of Rangers assisted us with our gear, and with a nod to each other we strode off the stern of the NPS dive boat and sank quickly into the clear blue depths of the lake. As we dropped through a thermocline enroute to the bottom I could feel the cold on my face – a sensation much like touching dry ice.
We were dropping down next to a thin yellow nylon line that was attached to the "cage" made of copper tubing that Gene Ralston had used to mark the location of the washing machine based on his side-scan readings. The "cage" was supposed to be within 10 feet of the artifact, so as we plummeted down our eyes were fixed directly below us. Visibility that day was at least 70 feet, but at the depth to which we were descending that would still based on the quality and quantity of our light beams. As we approached 170 FFW something caught the corner of my eye and I looked out toward the side of the massive rocky underwater slope. A rectangular shape that could only have been man-made was lying buttressed up against the slope at a steep angle. I paused briefly and swung my light in that direction while, unaware of the situation, Jerome continued down. Within two slight kicks I was within clear sight of the object and it became obvious that this was the goal that hundreds of people had been seeking for over 72 years – a 1927 Chevrolet lay before me in clearly recognizable condition. After all the photographs we had seen of '27 Chevys there was absolutely no doubt in my mind.
With a loud "Woo-Hoo!" into my regulator, I flashed my light at Jerome, who had paused to determine my location. Within seconds he was by my side and "high fives" were exchanged several times. He tied the buoy line to the front bumper of the car and sent it up. Upon seeing it bob to the surface, our teammates in the boats simply thought that we had found the washing machine and that another piece had been placed into the puzzle. They had no idea that down below we had found (As Dan would say later to the television news cameras) the "Holy Grail".
The car was lying on its left side, with its nose facing slightly down slope. It was at an angle with its roof facing down and the parts facing the surface had numerous stones on them, probably the result of tumbling down the steep underwater slope all of those long years ago. We believe that this is why the car itself had not been readily noticeable on the side-scan (although once we were able to state with certainty where it was Gene was able to dimly pick out the shape on his screen). Placing one of my computers within the body of the car, we recorded its depth as 171 FFW, and then Jerome and I circled the car slowly, attempting to log its features in our memory so that we could adequately brief those at the surface. When our computers showed that we were approaching the end of our bottom time, we began our long ascent. We were absolutely DYING to tell our teammates on the surface about the discovery, but our deco obligation kept us from rushing to do so.
46 minutes later we broke the surface and I yelled out to the boats, "We found the car!!!!" Every boat horn in the small "fleet" blared and I could swear that I saw Bob Caso leaping up and down in his excitement. The only bad thing about the moment was that neither Dan nor Bob could have been there at the moment of discovery.
Since then, descendents of the Warrens have traveled to Lake Crescent and have met with members of the dive team. It appears that the family has decided to leave the car and whatever remains it might contain in the lake, believing it to be a "beautiful, fitting resting place". The National Park Service has begun the procedures necessary to have the location declared a gravesite and a private memorial is currently being planned. As each of us on the team met the Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren of the people who had been missing for so long you could almost feel the emotion within each and every one of us and read the mixture of both joy and sorrow within the eyes of the family members. As several members of the family sought the right words to use in thanking the team, Ranger Dan Pontbriand summed it up for all of us….."You're most welcome. It's been a labor of love."

Author's note: Since this article was written numerous additional dives have been made on the wreckage by members of the dive team. At the request of the Warren family several artifacts have been recovered.
On July 3rd of 2002, members of the family and the dive team held a memorial service for the long lost couple on the shores of Lake Crescent adjacent to the dive site. It was an incredibly moving day.
For future reading: a few years later the team returned for a "memorial" dive on a subsequent Memorial Day, and an astonishing discovery was made. What happened that day and the continuing story of the Warrens will appear in a future article that will appear here on Newsvine.

Moscow • Russian President Vladimir Putin ceremoniously lit the Olympic flame on Red Square on Sunday, but the four-month relay to Sochi for the Winter Games got off to a rocky start when one of the torches went out.
The Olympic flame, which was lit a week ago in Greece and flown to Moscow earlier Sunday, kept burning in a cauldron on Red Square.
The glitch occurred when a torch bearer ran through a long passageway leading into the Kremlin, which apparently created a wind tunnel, extinguishing the flame. A man standing along the route, most likely part of the presidential security service, pulled out a lighter and the flame leaped back to life.

" Brand: Adidas / Type: Athletics / Running - Shoes / Gender: Ladies "
Around six weeks ago I decided that I needed to do something about the fact that my weight had risen significantly over a period of a couple of years. I started eating better and in six weeks I have lost sixteen pounds but I have to say this isn't just down to a more sensible approach to eating as I have been exercising more too. I needed a sports shoe which would suit my needs, specifically something which would offer support for my quite weak knee. I purchased the adidas furano 3 ladies running shoe.
I was advised by my physiotherapist last year that if I were to be working out I would need a show which would be supportive for my ankle and therefore more supportive for my knee as well. I am not actually allowed to run as a means of exercise as apparently the impact would be too much on my knee but despite this fact I was told a running shoe would provide me with the most support. I purchased the adidas furano 3 running shoe from the sports direct website where they cost a reasonable £27.99. The shoes come in sizes 4 to 8 with there being half sizes in a 5 and 6 but no other strangely!
I will admit that being a girl the way that the shoe looked was an influencing factor in my purchase. The shoe does look nice though in my opinion. It is made from a textile/synthetic upper, textile inner and synthetic sole. They are predominantly white but feature a grey band around the top of the shoe and on the tongue as well as three cerise stripes which is obviously easily noticeable as the adidas brand logo. They do also come in black with the pink stripes if this would be more suited to your tastes.
The shoe is comfortable to wear which of course is the most important factor when it comes to something like this. My usual size 4 fits me perfectly so sizing seems to be quite accurate. When I tie the laces in the show I can feel my foot is well supported and I feel confident I can work out without having too much impact on my wonky knee! The ankle of the show is quite padded and pretty rigid so does make me feel reassured and the sole of the shoe is also very thick and shock absorbing which again gives me reassurance that I can work out and get fit without worrying too much about taking steps backwards with my knee. I can almost feel the shoe soaking up the pressure as I do the cross trainer in particular which of course is a positive thing.
The upper part of the show is a ventilated mesh material which I really like as I feel that my feet can breathe as I work out and thankfully the shoes don't smell despite six weeks of use! Not only do I wear these shoes when I go to the gym but I also wear them if I am heading out for a long walk as they do offer more support than any other shoe that I own.
I do think these running shoes are a great option for someone looking for a supportive shoe for working out or running. I do tend to only wear them when I know I am going to be exercising as I am not really the kind of girl who wears trainers all day as they don't go with the other clothes that I wear but for their designed purpose these shoes work really well and are ideal for me.
Thank you for reading my review!

Assi Hilani star of 'Karkalla'
Lebanese singer Assi Hilani is preparing for a new role in the theater this summer dedicated to those suffering in the Arab world, especially the Iraqi and Palestinian people.
Hilani said to his fans that he will be "the star of Karkalla's (Lebanese dancing group) theater."
The play, Hilani's first, will open at the Baalbek festival in Lebanon.
According to the London daily Elaph, Hilani has been working on the production of the play for over two years, after it was postponed due to the war in Lebanon. Hilani also has a very busy schedule traveling for concerts and Arab festivals.
At his press conference held in Algeria, Hilani said that Syrian singer Asala Nasry asked him to compose a song for her. He agreed to compose a traditional Lebanese song for the singer.
Hilani said that after his concert tour in Australia, he had a disagreement with music production company 'Rotana' about the conditions of his contract that he has yet to sign. Hilani hopes that both parties will reach an agreement soon.
Regarding Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram's children's album "Shakhbat Shakhabeet," (Scribble and scratch) Hilani said that he is against recording songs for children, stating that children songs should be kept to experts in the field.
Hilani hosted two concerts in Algeria.

WHAT?! Who Was Chuckles The Clown??? [VIDEO]
I really like our afternoon guy, Brian Russel. He's somewhat new to our Joy FM family, but has fit in nicely. He's also our station's "Brand Manager", or what we used to call the P.D. (Program Director). He's a bit younger — OK, a lot younger — than me…but I just found out when I said, "A little song, a little dance…a little seltzer down your pants", that he had NO idea what I was talking about! (Of course you may be wondering why I'd be saying that to the boss!)
What! He never saw the classic "Mary Tyler Moore Show" episode where "Chuckles the Clown" died? Where Chuckles was being eulogized by the minister, only to have Mary Richards break in to fits of laughter? Am I that much older? WHAT? You have no idea what I am talking about either?
Well, you are in for a treat. And if you know what I am talking about, here is a chance to see that famous clip again.

During his residency in emergency medicine for the Medical College of Pennsylvania back in the early 1980s, Richard MacKenzie, M.D., got a piece of memorable advice from his mentor on the topic of physician independence. "He told me to just give it up. He said, 'you'll always work for the man; it's just a question of who the man is.' Physicians are never totally independent. Even in private practice, you have to follow the rules of the federal government or you won't be in practice long. For most traditional group practices, independence is more of a mindset than a financial benefit."
MacKenzie is now ensconced in his role as a physician employed by the Lehigh Valley Physicians Group. He serves as senior vice chair of operations for the emergency department, which handles some 150,000 annual visits. The Allentown, Pa.-based group practice consists of some 500 physicians and, in theory at least, maintains an arm's length distance from Lehigh Valley Health Network, its three-hospital, 900-bed corporate partner. But in reality, "the group supports the mission of the health network. We have shared governance. On paper, it is a separate ownership. In reality, it's their group." Physicians are not contractually obligated to admit solely to Lehigh Valley, but the opportunities to work with competing hospitals are few, MacKenzie says. "As physicians get bought up, and allegiances form, there is no longer an opportunity to work at a competing hospital. If a doctor is bought up by Lehigh Valley, they declare themselves as a Lehigh Valley physician."

I obtained this distro free from a UK Linux Magazine cover disk. I was looking forward to trying it. The installation procedure is very simple. I opted for expert installation on my 2nd machine - AMD XP1600, 2 x 80 gig hdds, CDwriter, DVD writer, Geforce graphics, D-link network card, on-board sound. I chose a full installation, and set up my lan card, root password, users etc. I use XOSL so I opted for Lilo in the root partition. On reboot, while going through the KDE first time wizard, I was most distressed to find my mouse was dead. It is a Logitech optical usb. Every single linux distro I have installed on this very ordinary pc has found it. Nearly all even set up the scroll wheel. Xandros could not find it. So, some editing of XF86Config-4 later, I decided to try the Xandros Networks application. No network found. I opened a Konqueror window - no network. Every single Linux distro I've installed - many - has set up my network. I checked and found no dhclient, the module for my network card was not running either. It was at this point that I decided to abandon this distro. All my hardware was listed on their site as compatible, but I ran into 2 serious problems. Yes, I could and did rectify each. That isn't the point. It should just work, especially given the target audience. Immediately after this debacle, I tried Knoppix 3.3 on the same machine. It worked flawlessly. I then tried the hd install. Again, not one single problem. I am submitting this review from that machine, running Knoppix from the hard drive. I can only say that such ordinary hardware should cause this sort of distro no problems at all. Until Xandros can iron out such problems, many potential Windows-Switchers will just fall at the first hurdle. Update - I decided to have another go on an older machine - Celeron 600, 384meg PC100, 40gig drive, SB128, Geforce, Nsis Wireless Optical mouse, D-link network card and Samsung CDWriter. I went through identical steps. Xandros recognised this rather unusual mouse, and set up my lan, just like it couldn't on my other machine. It also set up Lilo so that I could boot into Mandrake 9.2 that was already installed (nice touch - it actually labelled Mandrake correctly). What is it like - it's OK. Very simplified and some elements are difficult for a Linux user. It isn't immediately obvious how to edit files on the root filesystem, for example. Xandros Networks is an Apt repository just for Xandros, and it works well even if the choices of packages are limited. Also, the Gimp is a whopping 27 meg download, because it needs lots of Gnome-specific stuff. Conclusion - I'll be keeping Xandros for the time being to see if I get used to its interface. It certainly looks interesting, but my original reservations still apply.

Availability - free download from ibiblio, 2 CD set for $9-95 and an additional $9-95 gets you 30 days of email support. I used the free download version. Installation - this is where it gets interesting. Booting from the CDrom gives you a Live-CD version a la Knoppix. It runs perfectly well and looks nice, too. There is, however, a desktop icon to install Mepis. Clicking this starts the install, via a window on your KDE 3.1.2 desktop - surreal. The installation itself is very simple, and all hardware is automatically detected (my onboard sound was configured properly, which Mandrake 9.1 cannot do). When it's done, you reboot and reset the root password and that of any users you created. Then you're done - amazingly simple. The system - you get Linux kernel 2.4.20, XFree 4.2.1, pcmcia 3.2.2, Kudzu 1.1.3, KDE 3.1.2, KOffice 1.2.90, OpenOffice 1.0.3, XCDRoast 0.98a13, KPackage Manager 3.1.2, Dict Reference Bookshelf 1.1, AbiWord 1.9.0, and WINE 0.0.20030508. A look at the Mepis website gives you the whole list -
Pretty up to date. Performance and stability - very good marks, here. After all, it is effectively Debian once it is installed. My only gripe was networking. I chose to boot the CD with a nodhcp option, because I use static IPs on my home network. I was able to find a netcardconfig shell script in /usr/sbin and ran it. It configured my card, but I found that I still had a dns problem, despite all parameters being correct. Taking the network down and then up solved the problem, but there seems to be an issue here. The other problem is nvidia drivers. Using the latest nvidia install script gives an error that it is not possible to build a kernel module for this kernel. I tried the .deb packages on the second CD, but the kernel module wouldn't initialise, even manually. I'll sort it out eventually. Package Handling - apt-get, of course. If you like it, you'll be happy. Kpackage is also there if you want a gui to install packages from the CD. Kpackage can also be used to access updates or upgrades via apt. You just adjust the settings to use updated or upgraded packages and hit return. Conclusion - a really interesting distro. The stability and package-handling abilities of Debian, with a very slick install and up-to-date base packages. Definitely one to watch for the future. Edit - Update - Kpackage can also be used to update or upgrade the whole system using Apt. You just need to go into Special in the Settings of Kpackage, select APT - then upgrade, update etc. Very slick.

Availability - SuSE 8.2 pro is available as an ftp install - free, a boxed set - expensive or via E-bay and other sites in a stripped-down version cheaply (all commercial software is removed from the CDs and DVD). The latter version is the one I am reviewing, although I have also installed via ftp. Installation - this really is a breeze. The installation is graphical and very polished. The only possible problem is partitioning. Yast2 really seems to have a mind of its own in this area. You always have the option to reject any suggested partitioning and do your own. You may well have to do this unless your whole hard drive is unused. After a basic system install, the machine reboots to allow you to set up a root password, users and finally hardware and X configuration. The system - SuSE 8.2 uses the 2.4.20 kernel, KDE 3.1, XFree4.3.0, Open Office 1.0.2 etc - pretty up to date packages, only Opera is old - 6.03 Performance and stability - really excellent marks here for SuSE. It is tempting to assume such a smooth and polished distribution that comes with oodles of software must be bloated and a resource hog. Not at all. On an Athlon XP1600+ it runs extremely quickly, KDE is very responsive and about 85% of my 512 meg of ram is free - not bad. Extra marks for SuSE including a gui tool to enable UDMA on any drives on the pc - without having to run hdparm and then put a line into your config files - very polished. In fact, the words polished and smooth are the two I would use to describe the whole SuSE distro. Literally everything works, and works well. The default look is very professional, although I prefer Lush icons in KDE - easily changed. Package Handling - SuSE is RPM based. I can almost hear cries of "dependency hell ...." already. However, the supplied 5 CDs or 1 DVD contain the most extraordinary amount of high quality packages. Time after time I have seen a package I wanted to try discussed or reviewed online only to find it on my installation media already. The only package I have downloaded is the 0.98 beta 14 of XCDRoast. As there is a SuSE 8.2 specific rpm, that was no problem either. A mention here for the central tool in the whole distribution - Yast2 (yet another set-up tool 2). Yast2 pretty much handles everything in SuSE, network, hardware, software, users etc. Once you get used to using it, it really does an excellent job. Nvidia users should also note that running the Online Update allows them to download their graphics drivers and enable 3-D acceleration without editing their /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file - very neat. Conclusion - A really excellent comprehensive distribution that is easy to install, run and update. Convenience does not seem to have been gained at the expense of system performance. The only possible problem from my point of view is that Yast2 is such a centralised tool that it makes manual configuration a little tricky. SuSE also has a habit of using its own names for common files e.g. it has a whole top-level directory called media where you will find all your mounted filesystems. Minor quibbles compared to the sheer quality and feel of this distribution.

Vector 3.2 SOHO - small office/home office - is a single CD distro that is intended as a Desktop Distro for typical home users. It is based on Slackware and is fully compatible with packages from 8.1. Installation - to date I've installed this distro on 4 PCs and 1 laptop, from 32 to 512 meg of ram, processors running from a 600 mhz Via to an Athlon XP2400+. The install is text-based. The process itself is fairly standard for text-based installs, and before you start, I strongly advise you to have an intimate knowledge of the partitions on your drive. The installation process takes typically 20-25 mins and is interesting because you get no options about which packages to choose. This install will give the same installed system no matter what. This is very useful if you are doing multiple installs. At the end of the process, auto-hardware detection is performed and you can then add a root password, and other users. The system - 3.2 SOHO uses the 2.4.20 kernel, Open Office 1.0.2, CDRtools 2.0, KDE 3.1, XCDroast 0.98 alpha 12 and XFree4.2.1. Not quite cutting-edge, but pretty up-to-date. Using Nvidia Geforce 2 graphics cards, Vector sets up the Nvidia drivers with 3-D acceleration enabled, by default (the same for an Ati Rage pro) - a nice touch. Java and Flash plugins are also pre-loaded for Phoenix, a simple Mozilla-based web browser. Opera is also provided, but a relatively old version 6.11. Performance and stability - Vector is a very speedy distribution. The GUI is very responsive, even using KDE with all bells and whistles turned on. Compare this setup to Mandrake on the same hardware, and Vector is well ahead. Interestingly, GLX gears gave a lower benchmark using Vector than using SuSE 8.2 pro on the same machine. In terms of stability, I have had no freezes or crashes or apps dying on any of my installations. Vector runs a fairly long beta-testing cycle which is relected in the stability of its offerings. Package Handling - Vector allows you to use Slackware's Autopackage system, a text-based installation system. It works well and is not difficult to use, even for a Mandrake user like myself. Vector is unusual in also offering RPM package handling via Kpackage. This also works well, assuming you can solve any dependency issues. Conclusion - As a long-standing Mandrake user (7.0 onwards) I find Vector an interesting alternative. It is responsive, fast, comes with lots of useful packages and will run happily on older hardware.

ELYRIA — Lorain County Transit bus service will be drastically scaled back starting Monday.
The county commissioners approved the cuts Monday, which will eliminate all but four fixed routes, largely serving only Elyria and Lorain.
The remaining four routes are being combined into two fixed routes that will run buses every two hours instead of the current hourly runs by the buses, said LCT Director Richard Enty.

The cuts also will eliminate Saturday service — Sunday service was eliminated during an earlier round of cuts last year — and scale back the hours LCT operates to between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
A limited version of Transit's Dial-A-Ride service will also survive.
"I don't believe we have any other choice but to accept this proposal," Commissioner Betty Blair said before Monday's vote.
The commissioners had been threatening to all but shutter LCT following the failure of a 0.5 percentage point sales tax hike that voters shot down at the polls in November, which the commissioners argue has left a gaping hole in the budget that can be closed only by imposing cuts and reducing or eliminating nonmandated services such as transit.
The plan to entirely shut down transit was shelved in December after the county received unused transportation money from federal stimulus programs totaling $293,153.
That money, combined with $100,000 kicked in by the commissioners, was enough to keep at least some of the buses rolling.
In recent years, the commissioners had given $500,000 to transit, but most of the public transportation agency's money comes from federal and state grants, many of which must be matched by funds from the county.
Enty said that last year LCT had a budget of about $5 million. This year the budget is $1.5 million.
The county has avoided or reduced service cuts twice before in recent years with one-time cash infusions.
Monday's decision will leave many riders without a means of getting to work or medical appointments.
LCT rider Brian Shawver, 38, of Lorain, complained that the commissioners were cutting service even as fares increase from $2.05 to $2.20.
"I don't see how people can cut the routes and raise the prices," Shawver said. "It's a mess."
During the meeting, the commissioners rejected calls to raise fares even more, arguing that transit riders couldn't afford it.
"You'd have to increase the fares so much that the people wouldn't be able to use it," Commissioner Lori Kokoski said.
The cuts will also mean 32 out of 41 bus drivers will lose their jobs, said Sandie Perry, general manager of First Transit Inc., which operates LCT's buses. There will also be cutbacks among the 14 mechanics and administrative staff members, she said, but the exact number of job cuts in those departments hasn't been determined yet.
Ann "Ami" Hess, who has spent six years behind the wheel of LCT buses, said she worries about her family and home after she loses her job, but also the riders who depend on transit to get from place to place.
"I'm a driver and I love my job, and to see this happen to these people just tears me apart," Hess said.
She and her fellow drivers won't be the only ones out of work, Hess said.
"We're going to lose our jobs, but people who ride our buses to work are going to lose their jobs," she said.
Enty said the county is still looking for ways to get additional funding and officials plan to ask the various municipalities serviced by LCT to kick in money to help pay for expanding operations.
"I'm hoping this is a temporary suspension of service and we'll be able to find some additional local dollars," he said.
County Administrator Jim Cordes said if transit had been shuttered completely, there wouldn't be any chance to get additional funding from the Federal Transportation Administration.
"The only bright spot is we're still in the transit game," Cordes said.

MW: What are your main responsibilities at the RAB?
LS: To work with the RAB's managing director Simon Redican and planning director Mark Barber to increase radio's profile among senior advertisers and media agencies. Over the next few months I will focus on meeting the top 20 advertisers in the UK. We need to convince those advertisers who aren't yet spending on radio that it is relevant for their product, it can be measured and is quantifiable, and it will make a difference to their marketing.
MW: What is your biggest recent project?
LS: Our Online Multiplier research, conducted with research agency Other Lines of Enquiry, which we released three weeks ago. This study showed that radio is a great driver for search: if you have great creative copy in a radio ad, people will search for that brand on the internet, amplifying the effect of the advertising.
MW: Why should advertisers use radio in 2010?
LS: Radio is still a fantastic medium for reaching a big audience. Media is increasingly fragmented, but you can reach more than 31 million listeners every week through radio, and I think that is a very sexy fact. Radio also complements multimedia campaigns; it works very well alongside TV and online. You have to engage with and trust digital media, and that is similar to how radio works so digital and radio mirror each other really closely.
MW: Where are the growth areas in the market?
LS: Digital platforms now make up 20.9% of all radio listening, and within that there is listening on mobiles and through iPhone apps. The entertainment genre is also expanding: radio groups such as Global Radio and Absolute Radio are getting back into live gigs and celebrity partnerships, which listeners love.
MW: What do you think about TalkSport winning two of the Premier League commentary packages from the BBC?
LS: This is fantastic news for radio. There used to be criticism that radio is just about pop music and breakfast shows, but most radio groups are now diversifying and experimenting. There is real recognition that radio is about engagement - if listeners go to a live show put on by a brand they trust, they know they will enjoy the event. Artistes have to work harder to forge relationships with their listeners, and this extends the radio companies' proposition. Their playlists are more extensive because there is greater context for how they play their music, and the new audiences this attracts makes life more interesting for media planners and buyers.
MW: How has the radio market held up over a difficult year?
LS: Our figures for the last quarter of 2009 indicate that radio's share of the advertising pie will have grown from 5.8% to 6.0% over the last year, and this translates to millions of pounds in additional commercial revenue. So we are growing share at a time when other media are stripping back. Radio is great at point-of-sale, it is a strong footfall driver and it is one of the best media for demonstrating ROI. Given capital cost and return on sales, radio is phenomenally effective.
MW: What do you want to achieve during your time at the RAB?
LS: I want my legacy to be an absolute conviction that we have a medium that is modern and relevant and an industry body that completely supports and mirrors what the radio media owners are doing. I want the RAB to be an evangelist for radio in a constructive and creative way while not losing sight of the medium's core heritage - that radio reaches a huge audience and is trusted by listeners.
MW: Which radio programmes do you listen to when you are not working?
LS: I listen to a mix of commercial stations and the BBC. In the morning I listen to Johnny and Lisa's breakfast show on Capital FM, mixed with the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, depending on which of my three children are in the car. In the afternoon I listen to Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show on Absolute, and if I am in the mood I listen to Angie Greaves on Magic and Graham Dean on Smooth. I am also a big fan of Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

I think that's all right, because it's dealing with a different set of concerns. AFAICS the only issue for truncation is to prevent physical access to the blocks in question until we can get rid of them. Once they're gone, if there wasn't an active seqscan (with an already-established notion of the max block number to scan to), there would be no reason for anyone to try to touch them. regards, tom lane

This route has its own warm-up. Begin with 5.9 past the first three or four bolts to a rest ledge. Then 5.11 up to a no-hands stem/rest under the roof. The warm-up ends with the 5.12a overhang.

|I agree the extension is in an awesome position; but aside from that, I can think of little to recommend it. Chossy rock, awkward groveling, hard to reach clips. I would do C&P again, but I would definitely skip the extension. Also, I wouldn't hang your hat on the 11b grade suggested by SplitterChoss.

|Havent done the extension but to the first anchor is one of the best enduro 12a's in the canyon. The rock has totally cleaned and provides thoughtful pumpy climbing all the way with a few classic Rifle rests to make it reasonable.

|I'd say the extension has cleaned up pretty nicely. I found all the clips easy once I got to them. Probably 11d, but a friend of mine who climbs considerably harder than I do called it 12a. Need an 80m rope or lower twice.

|I thought this thing was super fun. Took a bunch of giant whippers off the overhang up top. I've heard some skip the second to last bolt by staying left and gunning for the chains.

Two helicopters ferried 79 commandos and one dog into Osama bin Laden's compound for Sunday's successful kill operation. Why did the Pentagon send in a canine with the special forces?
For its sniffer, of course. The special operations forces do have their own canine training program, but it's very hush-hush. Furthermore, neither the Pentagon nor the White House is talking about the role the dog played in Sunday's operation, and they haven't even confirmed that a dog was involved at all. (It seems the information first came from the British tabloid the Sun, but has been reported in more reputable papers.)
If Navy SEAL Team 6 did indeed bring along a dog, then we might guess at its role based on the Pentagon's nonconfidential Military Working Dog Program. It's possible that the commandos brought a specialized search dog, which would have been sent in ahead of the humans to find explosives or people hidden inside the building.
Or they might have used a "combat tracker" dog instead — one of a newer class of military animals developed by the Marines just a year ago. These are taught to pick up the scent of a particular individual, usually from a footprint or a few drops of blood, and then follow the trail.
If bin Laden had heard the choppers coming and fled the scene, a combat tracker dog could have been used to track him down as he hightailed it through the streets of Abbottabad.
The Pentagon currently employs 2,700 dogs, up from the pre-9/11 litter of 1,800. Most of them were purchased in Europe, where a long tradition of using dogs for police and military purposes has created great breeding lines.
Before buying a dog, the Pentagon tests the animal for aggression, fear of gunshots and inclination to search. The Pentagon also gives each dog a thorough physical examination, including X-rays, to confirm that it's in top condition. For about a decade, the Department of Defense has been trying to establish its own breeding program, out of concern that our supply of top-quality dogs could be choked off in wartime.
When it's time to send a military working dog on assignment, a handler shows up at the main kennel at Lackland Air Force Base and completes a training course with two separate animals. The one that works better with that particular handler is sent off with him to a new home, while the runnerup goes back into the singles pool. Then the newly minted duo does some more training together before taking the field.
There are entirely separate courses of study for general service patrol dogs, specialized search dogs, and combat trackers. Military dogs must take continuing education classes throughout their careers, as their skills tend to erode after about 30 days without practice.
The U.S. military has deployed canines for centuries, but never sent them into combat until about 50 years ago.
Military dogs used to be trained for super-aggression. They were used as sentries and guard dogs, and were taught to distrust all humans but the handler.
As a result, they couldn't function as part of a combat team, because they had a habit of biting other members of the unit. Modern war dogs are far more comfortable working with strangers, even those wearing intimidating commando outfits.
Information for this report was provided by Gerry Proctor and Lt. Col. Elizabeth Robbins of the Department of Defense.

Henderson residents hold second rally against 'senseless' violence
Posted March 29, 2013
Updated April 1, 2013
Henderson, N.C. — For the second time in a month, Henderson residents rallied Friday evening to speak out against a number of violent crimes that have rocked the city since the beginning of 2013.
Family members of some of those slain in Henderson violence were in attendance Friday, pushing some 200 attendees to remember their loved ones and use those deaths as motivation to end the violence.
Community members have pushed for more positive role models for children, who have often been caught up in the violent trend.
Kisha Eaton, who lost her 17-year-old a year ago when he was shot on the corner of a street, said the violence is senseless.
"I never thought in a million years I would be burying my son," she said. " I have to be a voice because he doesn't have a voice anymore. A senseless killing took his voice."
Kids in attendance spoke out as well, saying the violence needs to stop.
Ja'Quasha Ferguson, 10, lost a cousin to street violence.
"I'm coming here to support the people who got killed," she said.
A month ago, many children in the same age group told a huge crowd at E.M. Rollins Elementary School that they no longer feel safe in their own schools because of gang-related activities.
On Thursday, 20-year-old Daquan Foster, of 63 Lynnbank Estates Road, was arrested and charged with first-degree rape after police say he sexually assaulted a 50-year-old woman on the side of Thomas Street.
It wasn't clear if Foster was involved with other recent incidents, but police did not release his picture, saying they were working to determine if the other cases were related. Henderson residents 'fed up' with continued violence
Thursday's arrest may ease some fears in the community, but the toll of recent violence hasn't been forgotten by Henderson residents.
"I am really in mourning for my son," Chascity Judkins, who lost her 16-year-old son a few months ago, said. "We are going to fight back."
In mid-February, Jerome Kearney and Kenya Odessa Hodges, both of Henderson, were shot and killed at the Scottish Inn motel on North Garnett Street. Police have charged Edward Hopkins, 26, with two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting.
Less than a week later, 17-year-old Ja'Quon Seward was shot and killed in broad daylight at the intersection of David and Nicholas streets. Daquan Ortiz, 20, was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter, and Corey Cheek Jr., 17, was charged with intimidating a witness.
Duane Scott, one of the organizers of Friday's rally, said the community knows there is a long road ahead to reversing the trend.
"We need a starting point, and it starts today," he said.

PALM HARBOR — Talented young teams often need to face adversity before turning the corner to greatness.
The Palm Harbor University boys soccer team has taken major strides this season and seemed to be on its way to the top seed in the district until it hit a major wall last week.
The Hurricanes, who have just six seniors on the roster, lost to Countryside at the beginning of the week and then tied Riverview to drop to third in the district. The PHU players were clearly disappointed and wanted to use their Hurricane Watch tournament as a confidence booster.
"It set us back a bit, and we wanted to right the ship this week," Hurricanes senior co-captain Ryan Van Schaick said.
Van Schaick was instrumental in helping the Hurricanes beat Mitchell 2-0 on Wednesday night to secure a spot in the final on Friday against the rival Cougars.
"We wanted to use (the tournament) to get more guys on the field, so we know who's going to be able to help us down the stretch," said Van Schaick, who scored the second goal for the Hurricanes. "It wasn't a great week for us last week, and we wanted to work on new things this week to make us better. We had great chemistry tonight and we're going to need it again on Friday."
The Hurricanes (15-2-3) dominated from the start on their home field against the Mustangs (10-9-1), who did not get a shot on goal in the first half. Palm Harbor U. scored in the first five minutes when Charlie Hales assisted on LJ Kim's goal.
Van Schaick scored just minutes later when Jesse Caron neatly passed the ball from the left side of the penalty box to the senior midfielder, who placed it past Mitchell keeper Brian Hoxie.
"It's a work in progress for us this season," Mitchell coach Oscar Ubillus said. "We lost 12 seniors from last year's squad, and we only have four this season. We're playing against tough competition to help the younger players grow quickly."
Mitchell will play St. Petersburg in the consolation final at 6 p.m. before the final between PHU and Countryside.

Two teams; one win between them. Yet the live blog remains. Our commitment to getting drunk and mocking bad football is that strong. Also I started Brandon Jacobs in fantasy this week against my better judgment and am interested in seeing how poor my choice was. UPDATE: Jacobs is inactive, so very poor!
Josh Freeman gets his first start as a Viking. Should he underwhelm, there will be trolls arguing that it's his fault that the season turned to disaster in Tampa, so a lot more than lingering pathetic hopes for the Vikes rides on his performance. Be good enough to beat a winless team, Josh. We… believe…in…you?
Meanwhile, Eli Manning has yet to play a game this season without a turnover and only had one when he turned it over fewer than three times. I think a minimum two derps or our money back policy should be in effect for the evening.
