We'll get to what was yet another feel good Browns' win in a moment. But first, as I'm sure most of you have already discovered by now, it doesn't get more surreal than this:
PD – Nick Saban, Chip Kelly and Josh McDaniels Could Be on the Browns' Coaching Radar
Lombardi is also believed to possibly have an opportunity to return to the front office with another team.
The Globe report says that if Saban decides to stay at %%MATCH_9%%, the next two names on Lombardi's list would be %%MATCH_11%% coach Chip Kelly and Canton, %%MATCH_12%% native Josh McDaniels, the current Patriots offensive coordinator and former Broncos head coach. McDaniels went 11-17 in %%MATCH_10%%.
Belichick is close to both Kelly and Lombardi. Bedard wrote that Lombardi still helps Belichick with some advance scouting.
Before we again wade into the world of the Talented Mr. Lombardi, it's worth noting how this is what qualifies as a "breaking story" in 2012 journalism. MKC (along with other Cleveland writers) basically did a Google News search and came up with Greg Bedard's piece – a story itself that could have easily been written by Lombardi.
More on this in a moment.
As for MKC's "report", it is beyond comprehension to think that someone as void of talent as Lombardi has high profile coaches "on his list." Evidently, Lombardi's personnel skills are so impressive that only a select group of coaches can be honored to receive the bounty of his labors. Of course, it helps that each of the three coaches listed have strong Bill Belichick ties.
Yet again, it's worth recalling just how little front office experience and success Lombardi can actually boast. However, such a reality is lost in a report that quickly establishes Lombardi may be negotiating with a second team – which is either twice as staggering as last week's news or just a really clumsy attempt at creating imaginary leverage.
Anyway, if you read the original source, you'll quickly realize that Lombardi and Bedard should abandon football pursuits and open their own PR firm.
What would be the draw of Lombardi, who last worked in personnel from 1999-2007 as senior personnel executive to Raiders owner Al Davis?
For one thing, Lombardi has been associated with winning teams wherever he's been, from Bill Walsh's 49ers, to the Browns (where he helped build the organization into a Super Bowl contender before Art Modell pulled the plug and moved the team to Baltimore), to the Eagles and the Raiders. Lombardi's past weakness has been the cap, but Banner is an expert in that area.
Where to begin?
The revisionist history of Lombardi continues, as his "association" with winning teams is paramount to what he actually contributed to those teams. Or, if you're somehow still naive to Lombardi's charade, take a look at what his Browns' drafts produced.
Or don't – since Bedard assures us that if it wasn't for Art Modell, the Browns would have won multiple Super Bowls. It's funny that Bedard – who clearly knows Belichick's history – conveniently forgets that the 1994 Browns' playoff team was built around several ex-Bill Parcells' Giants and not draft picks like Tommy Vardell and Ed King. In Oakland, anyone knows that Al Davis controlled the Raiders' drafts and Bill Walsh barely let Lombardi pick up players from the airport, let alone draft them.
Yet somehow all the bases are covered with Lombardi's personnel prowess – as his only weakness is "the cap." And it's just our luck that Joe Banner happens to be an "expert" in that area. Talk about convenient.
Speaking of which, how convenient is this?
There have been a lot of rumors around the Browns that NFL Network analyst Michael Lombardi could be the next general manager should new team president Joe Banner and owner Jimmy Haslam decide to make a switch after the season.
According to two NFL sources, there is indeed fire behind that smoke.
How many "sources?"
Seriously, that's all it takes. And I'm pretty sure Mike Lombardi was one of them.
For those of who you don't know Bedard, he is actually a very talented football writer – the rare beat writer who focuses on actual analysis of games. Bedard typically spends more time breaking down plays than writing the PR fluff shown above. For a better look at Bedard, read this or take a look at his piece on how Chip Kelly's offense is already in the NFL .
This last article may help to explain why Bedard wrote what he did. In becoming a more "cerebral" writer, Bedard has gained precious access to Belichick and has sat in on coaching film sessions. Naturally, it can be assumed that since Bedard's profile has risen, there is a bit of a quid pro quo occurring with Belichick and his old friend Lombardi. Via Bedard, Lombardi is being given another round of PR – which again will either land Lombardi a GM job or simply raise his TV profile even higher.
Finally, as for Bedard's "second source", would it be surprising if it turned out to be Belichick?
Anyway – onto to better items – like my new favorite play of the Browns' Expansion Era.
1. The %%MATCH_13%% punt return TD was brilliant on so many levels. First – and I hope I'm not being too painfully obvious here – but it kind of felt like %%MATCH_14%% passed the returner torch to Benjamin on the play. Perhaps it was fitting after hearing Cribbs lament the league's potential kickoff changes and/or realizing that Cribbs may not be brought back for 2013 by whatever Browns' management is in place, but Cribbs shifting to the line and nearly blocking the punt was another in a long line of selfless moments for an all-time great Brown.
Benjamin's return was sensational partly because the way he scored seemed to echo his overall style as a football player. There is little that is overly smooth about Benjamin. He is a pure ball of speed, but is mechanically jerky and stilted like someone who has just learned how to run after years of sitting still. On the return, it took Benjamin several weaves and staggers to get going, but when he did, it was one of the greatest visions ever captured at the Stadium.
On a personal level, I took great satisfaction in knowing that after spending the majority of the season running the exact same end around decoy play, Benjamin finally got the ball in his hands.Last week, I made the dumb joke of calling Benjamin the "Saddest Man on the Planet" as I believed him to be a Charlie Brown metaphor. Naturally, Benjamin's biggest play of his career comes on a play where he wasn't originally supposed to get the ball.
2. In terms of Special Teams play, this may have marked the first time that Chris Tabor's units will be remembered for positively affecting the outcome of a game – not withstanding %%MATCH_18%%'s near perfection in kicking field goals. Typically, the Browns' Special Teams have struggled with botched snaps, illegal blocking penalties and poor punting. However, Sunday's game marks a definite high point in terms of both productivity and creativity.
3. Of course, the offensive coaching staff also turned in a productive and creative performance. Dating back to last season's Rams' game, I have been critical of Pat Shurmur's sometimes primitive offensive tendencies. In that particular game, you may remember that Shurmur threw out some juvenile and ineffective gadget plays. However in a progression of sorts, Shurmur dialed up some effective Wildcat-esque running plays and generally kept the Chiefs' defense off balance throughout the afternoon. Shurmur's play calling has certainly matured over the past few weeks and now shows signs of modest progress.
4. Speaking of these few unique running plays, we were finally given a sample of what Greg Little can do when used outside of a traditional receiver role. In the past, I have suggested (probably on multiple occasions) that Little could be used in a Percy Harvin-lite role. The hope now is that the coaching staff sees the possibilities they have in Little.
5. Once again, %%MATCH_16%% proves to be the hardest working Browns' running back in decades, as he once again has to break his body for every one of his 42 yards. Yet, some oblivious Browns' fan will look at %%MATCH_15%%'s garbage time stat line and call for a change in the starting lineup.
6. Regardless of caliber of the Browns' opponent, it's satisfying just to use the phrase "garbage time" when referring to a win. Similar to how the Browns' defense has played hard for Dick Jauron all season, there was little evidence of a slow down during the second half of Sunday's game. The Chiefs were not able to garner any momentum during the second half – even when the game was decidedly out of reach.
7. The most impressive aspect of the defense's performance came on Third Downs, where the Browns only allowed one successful conversion. Granted, the Chiefs' offense appeared limited once Brady Quinn's downfield options were covered. For those of us who remember the limits of a Brian Daboll offense, once the initial reads were covered, third down plays usually ended in quarterback sacks. On Sunday, the Browns used Daboll's scheme to their advantage.
8. Similarly, I was reminded of how frustrating it was to watch a Romeo Crennel defense continually sit in soft zones while opponents easily completed passes. Several times I had scary flashbacks to Daylon McCutcheon and %%MATCH_20%% before remembering that Crennel coaching in Cleveland can actually be a good thing. Certainly, %%MATCH_17%% was able to connect with Little and %%MATCH_19%% enough to keep the Browns in scoring position.
9. Regarding Crennel, it's again probably an overly figurative gesture, but in an odd way the Browns purified themselves of several ghosts of their expansion past. Seeing Crennel, Daboll, Quinn, Hillis and even Abe Elam was a reminder of the baggage of the Randy Lerner era. In a sense, defeating these ex-Browns doesn't amount to a great feat, but in a purely cleansing kind of manner, it's an important win.
10. Finally, while all of those above names provided a lot of unique memories, it's again worth stating that the current collection of Browns' talent is perhaps the most likable and hard working group found during the expansion era. While we'll always have the relative success of the 2002 and 2007 teams, each were tempered by small batches of petulance. The 1999 team is memorable for an entirely different reason and with the exception of individual players, perhaps no recent Browns' team has played in the context of so much organizational change. But then again, considering the blissful youth of the 2012 team, it probably hasn't affected them at all.

Summary of The Courtesan's Wager Summary of The Courtesan's Wager Reviews for The Courtesan's Wager An Excerpt from The Courtesan's Wager
Award-winning author Claudia Dain brings back her deliciously improper ex-courtesan for another delightful matchmaking scheme.
If Lady Amelia is to marry before another Season passes, she'll need help from infamous courtesan-turned- matchmaker Sophia Dalby. But Amelia is shocked when Lady Dalby informs her that they'll hold interviews for the post of husband-and only dukes need apply.
The plan may ruffle some feathers, but that doesn't keep the men from lining up, especially once the hopeful bride-to-be rejects one eligible duke after another. Only Lord Cranleigh shuns the proceedings, setting his own course of action. But convincing the lady to pursue different interests leads to even more outrageous behavior. Lady Dalby is delighted-and the ton is abuzz: Will Amelia become a duchess, or will other desires consume her?

OK, Orlando, do you want the good news or the bad news?
The good news, you say? Congratulations! You have been named as the healthiest major city in Florida!
The bad news?
Out of the 50 largest communities in these United States, you were just 34th. (Jacksonville was 37th, Tampa was 40th and Miami was 42nd. So laugh at them.)
This comes from something called the American Fitness Index as compiled by the American College of Sports Medicine, which is located in Indianapolis. Oddly enough, Indianapolis is 45th on the list.
Minneapolis/St. Paul is No. 1 for the third consecutive year, which sounds like a "health dynasty" to me. That's interesting because Minneapolis is the city in which Sentinel old timer Brian Schmitz and I used to go for a morning jog when we covered Buccaneer games there.
Don't snicker. It's true. We would leave the hotel early on a Sunday morn to find a park. Then Brian would jog while I found a nice bench and had coffee and doughnuts. Worked for both of us.
It does bother me a little that Minneapolis is No. 1 since I left there while Orlando is 34th. Coincidence, right?
Also not sure I buy what they're selling. They praise Orlando for having more parks and swimming pools than the norm per capita, which is fine. But Orlando is penalized for having fewer golf courses than the norm.
Say what?
How can we have fewer golf courses when it seems like every community has at least one? BTW, Oklahoma City is 50th (aka dead last) but is credited with having more golf courses than the norm. How many pro golfers list Oklahoma City as home?
As for Minneapolis, before it gets all high and mighty, it did lose points for not having enough swimming pools. Granted, for much of the year, not a whole lot of swimming goes on there -- but how much golf is being played either?
And if this is such an unhealthy place to live, why did so many of you move here from somewhere else?
NFL: The season never stops
Last week, I listed some thoughts about the four teams of the AFC East. Today we look at the NFC East:
Washington, 10-6 last season, 8.0 over/under: Whether they can continue to call themselves "Redskins" is not their biggest problem. Despite the popularity of QB Robert Griffin III, their passing attack was 20th and their pass defense was 30th -- making that 10-6 record look like a bit of a sham. Plus they made almost no significant changes as their best off-season acquisitions appear to be former Bucs CB E.J. Biggers and former nobody's QB Pat White. ... Somehow the Native Americans won their last seven regular season games in 2012. Their final seven this season, in order, are against Philly, San Francisco, the Giants, Kansas City, Atlanta, Dallas and the Giants again. How many of those will they win?
East Rutherford Giants, 9-7 last year, 9.0 over/under: Last season the Giants' offense was a little better than mediocre while the defense was a little worse than bad. They looked like a playoff contender until games 14-15 when Atlanta (34-zip) and Baltimore (33-14) crushed them. This year they may not have a running game to bail out QB Eli Manning. . . . Coach Tom Coughlin is 66 and, once again, could quickly be pushed onto the main burner with opening games against Dallas and Denver.
Dallas, 8-8 last season, 8.5 over/under: What a fade. Could have been 10-6 but lost last two to lightweights New Orleans (34-31 OT) and Washington (28-18). And then QB Tony Romo got a new six-year deal for potentially $108 million. And he's 33. Go figure. ... There's no running game and a poor defense was hit heavily by defections. New defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin has not been in the league for five years. Head Coach Jason Garrett (21-19) is entering his fourth season, which is the biggest mystery of all.
Philadelphia, 4-12 last season, 7.0 over/under: Interesting team with first-year pro coach Chip Kelly and perhaps last-year starting QB Mike Vick. ... The defense may have five new starters who better be in shape because a Kelly offense is physically hard on everyone. ... Best thing going for them is a soft start (Washington, San Diego, Kansas City) before running into Denver and the Giants.
And the readers write . . .

Merkel 141 vs Chapuis UGEX? HELP PLEASE!
Hi all...first post!
Anyone feel the Merkel 141 double rifle is worth the additional price over a Chapuis UGEX? How do these compare in quality, accuracy, ect?
Also, this would be for 30-06 or 9.3x74R. I'm leaning toward 30-06 due to ammo availability in my state of California which has a ban on mail order ammo coming to fruition in 2011 (which hopefully gets repealed, but hwo knows).

Personally I see no need for a 30-06 in a double, it really serves no purpose in that caliber..The 9.3x74 is a minimal DG caliber at best.
But to answer your question, I would opt for a Merkel over a Chapuis. I am not a fan of the Chapuis doubles, but thats argueable in some corners.RAY ATKINSON

Sabatti for shure, if you are interested in medium calibers. A modest opinion: forget the 30/06, and if you do not want a 9,3 (very good, but not that easy to manage and shoot), get it in 8x57Jrs, or in 30R Blaser.
With the money you save, you can shift to a Super Luxus Sabatti, or get a pair of 20 mag barrels for training and birdshooting.
The Chapuis and Merkel are about the same quality of gun and would suggest you look at both and decide which fits better. The Chapuis has a longer length of pull and will weigh about 1/2-3/4 pd more, the barrels on the Chapuis will also be almost 2" longer, and in the case of the 9.3 the Chapuis will be regulated with the heavy bullet and the Merkel with the light bullet.
Generally the Chapuis has better quality wood as well as better fit and finish of the wood.
IMO, Both the Merkel and Chapuis are much higher quality gun than the SabbattiKen

I got a Chapuis, very happy with than gun in 375 H&H, is not a caliber for that kind of guns, better if you choose a 30 R blaser or 9,3 x74 R, 8x57Rjs, 7x65R, or 375 Flanget, but is the same as a 9,3x74 and you will find easy rounds in your gunstore.
I just get a new express, Laurona Askari in 9,3x74R, from a friend. I went to the shooting range las sunday, perfect shooting with 285 grs. confortable recoil.
I prefer a Chapuis than a Merkel, automatic aperture, modern sistem, library sigts easy to amy the target, and more beauty woods.
Also for the kind of caliber you want, you will find more mounts for scope in Chapuis, at least in Spain.
Sorry about my english, I must study more.All the best,
Juan Carlos Aranda

ON THIS PAGE: You will find information about how many people learn they have this type of cancer each year and some general survival information. Remember, survival rates depend on several factors. To see other pages in this guide, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen, or click "Next" at the bottom.
This year, an estimated 21,980 women in the United States will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It is estimated that 14,270 deaths from this disease will occur this year.. It is the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death in women.
The overall one-year survival rate, which is the percentage of women who survive at least one year after the cancer is detected, excluding those who die from other diseases of women with ovarian cancer is 75%. The overall five-year survival rate is 44%, but this varies widely depending on the extent (stage) of the cancer. If the cancer is diagnosed and treated before it has spread outside the ovaries, the five-year survival rate is 92%. If the cancer has spread to the surrounding organs or tissue (regional spread), the five-year survival rate is 72%. If the cancer has spread to parts of the body far away from the ovary (distant spread), the five-year survival rate is 27%.
Cancer survival statistics should be interpreted with caution. These estimates are based on data from thousands of women with this type of cancer in the United States each year, but the actual risk for a particular individual may differ. It is not possible to tell a woman how long she will live with ovarian cancer. Because survival statistics are often measured in multi-year intervals, they may not represent advances made in the treatment or diagnosis of this cancer. Learn more about understanding statistics.
Statistics adapted from the American Cancer Society's publication, Cancer Facts & Figures 2014.

Autumn Wishlist 2014by Carly Jacobs
I simply adore the cooler weather. I'm not built for heat. My wellness guru Morgan says this is because I'm 'very pitta' in the terms of the Ayurveda practice, which means that I'm already full of fire so leaving me out in the open in summer is like death by Tabasco sauce. This is apparently why I get so stabby on 30 degree days. Here I was thinking that I only liked winter for the sou Read the rest!15 comments

Houston >Lodging > Springhill Suites Houston Hobby Airport
7922 Mosley Road, Houston, TX | Directions 7708129.653968 -95.254963
Neighborhoods: Southeast, Greater Hobby Area
This is where I spent all of my nights when I was in this city. This place is pretty awesome, they have great staff and thee rooms are very comfortable.
Right behind a Taco Cabana – It was easy to find coming from the airport and I liked that it was right behind a Taco Cabana. Breakfast was good also.
The rooms were very comfortable – Excellent breakfast, very comfortable room with kitchenette and sofa, comfortable beds, no smoke! This was very close to Hobby Airport and well accessible to I-45 but not directly in the nearby poorer neighborhood
The stay at the hotel was pleasant. Front Desk was very helpful. I got a courtesy call when I checked in to make sure the room was in order. That was the first time that that has happened to me before. Housekeeping was great. The complimentary breakfast had a lot of selection, whether I wanted a hot or cold breakfast, it had something for everyone. The rooms were roomy and clean. I liked the free wi-fi and refrigerator. The fitness room is small with 2 treadmills and an elliptical and some free weights, but you can get your cardio and weigh training done with no problem. Everything was wonderful; I would stay there again.
Each room were truely impressive – The politeness of the staff and thoughtfulness of the breakfast set up and vending options plus the microwave in each room were truely impressive.
I recommend this hotel very highly – My 17-year-old son and I stayed at Springhill Suites the night before our cruise out of Galveston. We purchased their cruise package and felt it was a GREAT deal. For less than the cost of the combined transportation, we were picked up at the airport and driven to the hotel, were provided free transportation anywhere we wanted to go within a five-mile radius of the facility, had a really good hot breakfast buffet, were provided transportation to the cruise ship pier in Galveston AND transportation from the cruise ship back to the airport at the conclusion of our week at sea.
The staff at Springhill could not have been more accommodating. They truly made us feel like valuable customers. A fog-delay caused our ship to dock over three hours late in Galveston. Our Springhill shuttle driver was waiting and got us to the airport in time to make our flights.
The facility is modern and the suites are large, comfortable and well appointed. They include a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and a desk with internet access.
I recommend this hotel very highly, particularly for cruise passengers. The cost of transportation required to get from Houston to Galveston and back is daunting. The cruise package provides a GREAT hotel for less than the cost of purchasing the necessary transportation!
Only issue we had was that the air conditioning rattled whenever it kicked in. We discovered that simply placing my backpack on top of the unit eliminated this problem.
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
You will not regret staying at Springhill Suites – My family and I went to Houston last weekend and we stumbled upon this hotel when trying to book ahead of time. I thought it would be any other hotel, but no, it was SOO much better. Right upon entering, we were greeted with smiles from every staff member. We checked in an hour early and it was not a problem (as it is in a lot of other hotels). The room we got was clean, roomy, and had a nice view of the pool. As we were heading out to explore Houston and Galveston, the concierge printed out directions to our destination. We returned around the 6:45 thinking that we were too late for the kick back, but food was still coming out! There were baked potatoes, chicken fingers, meatballs, pretzels, chips and salsa, ruffles, popcorn and soda (popcorn and soda are always available after 3). The food was good and filling. The pool was nice, there was an indoor area and an outdoor area and you can switch between them without getting out of the pool. The hot tub was nice too. The hotel also had a small gym with a T.V. that my teenagers loved. But beyond all of these fabulous details, the customer service was outstanding! I have never felt so welcome and comfortable in a hotel like I have in this one. My picky children even asked the return to Houston just because they loved the hotel. Stay at this hotel, and I promise that you will not regret it!
Wonderful house cleaner – I stayed here last year and seemed to have a much better room. i was dissapointed on how worn out this particular room was......it was very clean and even though I did'nt want the room to be cleaned the wonderful house cleaner made sure i had more towels and coffee. Also I did not know the location of my room but all night long I heard running water very annoying!
My experience here was pleasant. Upon checking in my experience was a great one. The breakfast was good. The evening drinks and snacks are served at 5:30p.m. until 7:00p.m. The service was good. There is a fitness room available. Other than that I enjoyed being away from home; free breakfast and evening snacks provented me from spending too much money on food. The pool area is small, but I like the fact that the pool is located inside and outside, because the weather was nasty and my children were able to swim inside. I would stay here again. The staff tried their best to make us feel comfortable even though they were short handed and all. I have read previous reviews about the hotel being dated. I feel that $59.00 dollars is not a bad deal for all the amentities that this hotel provides. The room was not bad, the television is flatscreen, and the mattress was very comfortable to sleep in. I recommend this hotel to anyone who is traveling with children. Free breakfast and free evening snacks is a plus when traveling with children.

Daily Joke
Rabbi Levy had to spend time in a Catholic hospital. He became friends with the Sister who was a nurse there. One day, she came into his room and noticed that the crucifix on the wall was missing. She asked him good-naturedly, "Rabbi, what have you done with the crucifix?"
"Oh, sister," chuckled Rabbi Levy, "I just figured one suffering Jew in this room was enough."

Both of my older girls have a brutal habit of grinding their teeth at night. Our pediatric dentist says they should begin to grow out of it, but they are grinding their baby teeth to dust and I don't want these habits to continue into adolescence. Any advice? -- Chris, StrongMoms Facilitator
Oh I am so interested in the answers here. My daughter grinds her front teeth and it sends chills up my spine!!! Her doctor said that i shouldn't worry about it too much and that they usually grow out of it, but i don't want it to become habit. What we have done is tell Hazel not to grind her teeth and touch her mouth so she kind of understands what we want her to stop doing. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If she continues on i will give her something to occupy her mouth so that she stops. My problem with that is it seems like i'm rewarding the behavior... Ugh I'm at a loss!
I don't know very much about this and I am curious as well. What do others know?
There doesn't seem to be much concern among dentists, and it isn't a conscious behavior so beyond a mouth guard, I'm not sure what can be done. Do they even make mouth guards for young children?
I work at the dental office. My 4 yo grinds his teeth and also my daughter use to grind her teeth and is now past the grinding stage. We see a lot of kids that grind their teeth at a young age and all the parents are concerned. 9 times out of 10 they do grow out of it and if for some reason they dont they do have nightgaurd that they can wear. Hope that eases concern...
Thanks Michelle! Your answer is what I think a lot of us are looking for! Another question answered by the Strongmoms community! The problem is it is still so difficult for me to hear them grind away, but that's my own issue!
Michelle - good to know! Thanks for the information! I guess it's good they don't have their full adult teeth yet when they are in this stage!
All of my kids went through a phase where they were griding their teeth...they outgrew it without any damage. It is still painful to hear!

NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, January 21, at 2:00 p.m. ET, All Analytics' Editor-in-Chief Beth Schultz will be hosting a live Internet radio show with big data thought leader Hyoun Park, founder of and principal consultant at DataHive Consulting.
The All Analytics Radio show, titled "The Brave New World of Personalized Big Data," will discuss what happens when companies of all kinds learn to bring big data value down to the individual level and deliver highly personalized services a la Amazon, Facebook, and Google. The show also will explore the "quantified self" trend and how people are using their personal data in a big data context.
"Park firmly believes that the personalization of big data will change how we approach our lives -- from the way we learn to how we obtain healthcare, interact with the outside world, and even watch sports," Schultz said. "Whether you're interested in your own 'quantified self,' curious about how the Internet of Things is changing the face of big data, or want to know how your life as a consumer and an employee will change as big data grows more personal in nature, Park has invaluable insight to share with you."
Following the broadcast, the first All Analytics Radio episode of 2014, listeners will have the opportunity to chat live with Park. He will take questions from the audience on the All Analytics message board.

Flame Retardant Alternatives for HBCD Partnership - About this Project
About This Project | Milestones | Participants
Draft Report
EPA, through its Design for the Environment (DfE) program, released a draft Alternatives Assessment report titled "Flame Retardant Alternatives for Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) (PDF)" (199pp, 2.31MB, About PDF) on September 24, 2013. The draft report will be available for public review and comment until November 22, 2013. Please submit comments to Docket No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2013-0379 via www.regulations.gov.
Why did DfE conduct an alternatives assessment on HBCD?
In August 2010, EPA issued an action plan for hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) under its enhanced chemical management program. As part of the Agency's efforts to manage chemical risks, the action plan called upon the Design for the Environment (DfE) program to conduct an alternatives assessment for HBCD. The alternatives assessment compares potential human health and environmental impacts of HBCD and its alternatives and provides a basis for informed decision-making.
Read more about DfE's Alternatives Assessments.
HBCD is a brominated flame retardant that has been found to have persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) characteristics. EPA's Action Plan for HBCD has identified the chemical as persistent in the environment, bioaccumulative in living organisms, and highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Human exposure is evidenced by the presence of HBCD in breast milk, adipose tissue, and blood, and it biomagnifies in the food chain. HBCD also presents human health concerns based on animal test results indicating potential reproductive, developmental, and neurological effects. People may be exposed to HBCD from products and dust in the home and workplace, as well as its presence in the environment.
Partnership goal
DfE convened a multi-stakeholder partnership to conduct this alternatives assessment. Its goal has been to identify safer alternatives to HBCD and examine their human health and environmental profiles. The partnership includes members from various disciplines and interests to ensure that it considers a wide range of perspectives.
Participating stakeholders include chemical manufacturers, waste and recycling companies, non-governmental organizations, governmental agencies, academics, fire safety advocates and firefighters, trade associations, and insulation, textile, electronics, and other product manufacturers.
Scope of the partnership
Although HBCD is used in a variety of materials, such as textiles and high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) in electronics housings, it is most commonly used as a flame retardant in expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) and extruded polystyrene foam (XPS). EPS and XPS are used as rigid foam insulation in the building and construction industry. The scope of this project (1pg, 16K, About PDF) is limited to HBCD's primary uses in EPS and XPS foam and the partnership only examined alternatives to HBCD for these uses.
Readers interested in alternatives for HBCD's secondary uses, such as in textiles and electronics housings, can refer to DfE's Flame Retardant Alternatives for Decabromodiphenyl Ether (DecaBDE) Partnership, which considers alternative flame retardants for a wider range of polymers and applications.

Can you segment the network-attached storage (NAS) market for us?
NAS is also being used in the area of high-performance computing (HPC), which includes seismic research, satellite imagery, medical imagery and complex engineering design work across a variety of disciplines. Multimedia data is growing fast with video and audio production, editing, rendering and even viewing. The online world is also opening new markets for NAS. These applications often involve large file systems with hundreds of terabytes --potentially petabytes -- of storage capacity. These systems are closely aligned to the business, often touting ease-of-use features that make the storage almost 'invisible' to the organization.
Another big need appears in the area of 'nearline' or archival storage. Data starts off as a dynamic resource where it accessed all the time but quickly becomes a static or persistent resource that rarely changes and is only accessed infrequently. NAS systems are being used to store a lot of this persistent data. These NAS systems must also be easy to manage and highly scalable. The cost must also be lower than Tier 1 storage and include index/search capabilities so that I can Google my storage to access the necessary data quickly and precisely.
Check out the entire NAS FAQ guide.

Keeping the Unwanted Filth out
In my neighborhood, there isn't a lot of crime. In fact, there is barely any at all. When you watch the local news, you don't see that many reports about shootings or robberies. I thought the neighborhood was pretty safe, until one day when someone broke into my home while I was at work. The burglar stole some of my electronics and some cash that I had in a jar. The police was able to catch the burglar and I got my items back, but I couldn't forget it. I contacted the local idaho adt center and requested that they set up a security system in my home.
I just couldn't get that burglar out of my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined him sneaking into my house again, touching all of my items, rummaging around through everything like some kind of rat looking for food in a dumpster. I didn't feel safe living in my own home anymore, because another burglar could easily come in and do the same thing as the first one. Another burglar might not even care that I'm at home while he's sneaking in, and might try to hurt me in order to steal my stuff.
An ADT representative was able to install the security system in my home in a few hours. All I had to do was enter a code to activate the system. It also came with a keypad that fits on your key chain, so you can turn the alarm system on and off while you are outside. If anyone trips the alarm, it automatically alerts the police and calls the ADT center. In the event that a burglar comes into my home, the police will be at my house in an instant, ready to send the criminal straight to jail.Review A Great Deal More
Online Health Advice is Silly
I was scared when my teenage daughter called me to her room, and she had a look of horror on her face with her lap top open, I knew that it was going to be really good to hear what she had to say. She is a really smart kid and I could not wait to hear what she had to say about the web site that she had up on her screen. It was a health site that looked like a fifth grader put up and it was talking about the best whitening toothpaste ever, and the kid was saying that you have to rinse your mouth out with bleach to make sure that you were going to have the best and whitest smile ever. I thought that it was interesting that he wanted to speak to kids about their teeth and colors and I had to find out who the source was so that I could prove to my daughter that this was not a good idea, that no doctor would ever tell someone to rinse out their mouth with bleach.
She was not convinced, so I ended up tracking the Ip address to a place across the country and the person that it was registered to was actually an old lady that was convinced that bleaching your teeth was the only way to make sure that you are going to be able to keep your teeth white. I looked for a picture of her online after I saw her name and what I found was a lot of pictures of a woman that had white teeth but the inside of her mouth had a lot of sores all over them, she was not really happy with the pictures and knew that this was a joke of a web site.Review A Great Deal More
Great Prices for DSL Service
I would like to find a new internet connection, and I am going to need to get something that is a bit faster than what I currently have. Last Christmas, I bought my son a video game console, and he has taken to playing video games on the Internet. Well, he would really like to play video games without lag on the Internet. I am looking at highspeeddslservice.net/ right now, because I am trying to find a good place to get a faster internet connection from, without having to spend a lot more money than I am currently spending per month.
I am not sure how easy that would be. My son has been complaining for months about the Internet conneciton, and I am really just tired of listening to him complain. But at the same time, I would like him to enjoy his video game console to the fullest extent, since I bought it for him as a present. I do not know how fast the internet will need to be before he will cease to experience connection problems when he is trying to play video games online.
I do not know how fast the current internet speed is, so I will need to learn what speed I am currently getting from my current internet service provider. Without knowing that, I would not be able to compare the speed offered by another company, in order to find out if it is an improvement or not. I guess that I would really like to try to figure this out soon, so that I can get the new connection hooked up at some point soon. I want to get it as kind of a gift to my son, but I am not actually going to wait until Christmas to give it to him.Review A Great Deal More
Best Prices for Cheap DSL Internet
I want to get a DSL connection at my house at some point in the near future. I have never bought internet before in my life, because it did not really seem necessary. However, my son is living with me for the time being, and he is the type of person who cannot handle living without Internet. I use internet on a daily basis myself, but I have it at work, and it never really occurred to me that I needed at home. I suppose I am looking for places to find deals on cheap dsl connections right now, as I do not want to have to spend a whole lot of money on this service.
After all, I am mostly getting internet service at my house on account of the fact that my son is going to be living with me. He is not in any sort of position to be able to pay for an internet connection, and I hope that I will be able to find something that is exceptionally cheap. I have no idea how much it usually costs to get this type of service installed in your house, because as I have said before, I have never purchased internet before in my life.
I am thinking that I will be willing to spend up to 30 dollars per month on an Internet connection, but I do not think I am going to go much above that. It seems like I should be able to get a decently fast connection for that price. It will be nice to be able to browse the internet, and check up on my email from my house. I do have a laptop that was provided to me by my employer, and so I can make use of it at home from now on.Review A Great Deal More
Moving into My New Place This Weekend
I am finally in a place where I can ditch my roomies and get my own place. In fact my Grandfather went ahead and gave me about half of what I needed to buy this tiny house. It is really small, a house that was built for the workers in a textile mill here in High Point, NC. It is probably something like 70 years old and it sits on a tiny lot across the street from a park and a little baptist church. The big issue is that I wish there were better cable internet providers to choose from. I would love to get a better deal than what I have, but other than that is about perfect for a place to live. I have been able to clock my time to work at around 8 minutes, because there is a way that I can slip through a couple of neighborhoods and then hit a road that leads directly to the office downtown.
I was living out in the country in a house that I was sharing with a couple of other guys I went to college with. The place was really cheap and I was in a bit of debt to the college and every other bank in the world, so I went and lived with them for a year and a half. I really did not mind them partying when I was off of work, of course I was ready for that if I did not have to get up in the morning. However those guys were partying all of the time, every day and night of the week. So I was never able to get enough sleep and I really do like to get my sleep. I have to be in the office early in the morning.Review A Great Deal More

Using Invoice Discounting in a Smart Way
We went ahead and used the technique of using invoice discounting to raise some money quickly. We were determined to not have to work through our holidays this year. We did that last year, and we were not happy. Neither were our employees. It was not a matter of funding, just the timing of it. We have come far in altering our repayment schedules and increasing sales, and we just needed that last bit of help of creating revenue this month instead of in the next three.
We discounted our 90 day net invoices and sold them to a company that gives us 85 percent of the total invoice value. Our profit margin we built into the 90 day invoices when we did the work allowed us to take the 15 percent loss on the invoices without any negative effect on our bottom line. In other words, we planned for this. We would not have gotten the contracts without the 90 day net payment agreements, so we adjusted the pricing accordingly. We knew we could get the cash through an invoice discounting company so that we could stay on track for our holiday time.
We were able to also give our employees the bonuses we used to give in the past. We shut down operations entirely for the two week holiday time we all take at the same time. My wife and I as owners needed the break very much, and so did our loyal employees. The invoice discounting plan we came up with late last year for this fiscal year was a great help.
The 90 day invoices are always an issue. I have to pay wages and material costs before the customer pays me anything. We just had too many of these contract types and not enough immediate paying customers. Selling off the 90 day invoices and keeping the 30 day and immediate paying ones as they were was a good business decision.
Last Days of the Florida Condo Bust Bargains
Looking to Furnish the New Flat
Of course I am really about broke as I can be right at this moment. I am working at a fish and chip shop near the campus, but the money that I make is not enough to do much past my rent. Mum and Dad are helping me out as much as they can and they found me a cheap memory foam mattress from this cheap mattresses uk web page. It is actually pretty comfortable and convenient too, the people who moved out left behind and old bed frame. They left behind a good bit of stuff in fact, but for the most part it is not stuff that anyone would want. There is a kitchen table, but it appears to be suitable only for firewood at this point in time. I am not all that concerned about that though. I can pretty much live without a kitchen table. We need a couch and a console thing to put the tv on top of. In fact my last roommate is the one who had that stuff in my last place, but he went totally nuts and threw me out for no apparent reason.
I am going to be looking through the thrift stores this weekend and hoping to find the stuff that we need. Of course Jacob has actually been scrounging around looking at stuff that people leave laying around on the corner. Of course here the kids will leave their flats and abandon stuff that they can not carry along with them and you can get people to just give you a couch if you look around fairly hard. It is not that big of a deal unless we strike out. Of course anything that costs real money is simply not going to be an option. We just have none.Review A Great Deal More

Going to Do Some Upgrading at the Bar
I have my man cave down in the basement and every weekend my buddies come over for football. We get pretty loud and drink a little bit, the girlfriends stare at us like we are cavemen or something when our team does something good or bad. We have things set up pretty well actually. I do need to look at some blender reviews and try to find something that will took an adequate job of crushing up ice for the girls. They like to make daiquiris, which I probably can not even spell correctly. That is just a guess. At any rate the blender I have down there is left over from college and it has been through a whole lot of parties.
I am about certain that my Mom was tired of it when she let me have it and at the time I did not realize that it would get as much use as it has. Of course it has done about all that it can not. It is not burnt up yet, but I am guessing that the bearings or something have deteriorated to the point where it no long turns properly. Since they are using it in the most grueling way possible I am thinking that I should probably get some sort of commercial type, the sort that a bar tender would buy for example. I have been doing that sort of research. Obviously this is not that big of a deal, especially since I have so much money in the rest of the place. I put in a nice bathroom down there, along with the big projection tv and the bar. I have a mini fridge and a kegerator in the bar actually. In fact at one time I was thinking of rigging up an old freezer with three taps.Review A Great Deal More

Advertised on its website are a number of "Clearance" goods, which may be "open box", customer returns, ex-display or end of line. CCL promises that these items will be fully working, although they may be missing non-essential accessories. I ordered a clearance Intel motherboard for about £15 less than the £80 price tag being charged for the same item brand new from other sellers. Imagine the disappointment to receive just the bare board without its backplate, as well as without retail packaging, manual, installation disks or cables. The I/O shield is an essential component of a retail desktop motherboard, unique to the product and unobtainable separately, so mention should have been made of this defect. Naturally, I complained.
The first CCL customer service agent took my details over the telephone and promised to call me back, but never did.
The second CS agent online gave me a RMA number and goods returns address, and promised that return postage would also be refunded for faulty goods.
A week later I got an e-mail to say the goods had been received back and would be tested. Not sure what expert testing was needed to determine that a component was missing?
A further delay and I had the results. "The goods were tested and found to be fully working" and my complaint was blamed on an "incompatibility issue". Outrageous! Is a motherboard without a backplate not a significant defect that should have been disclosed? What about a TV missing a bezel? Or a mobile phone missing a battery cover?
Request for return postage was ignored. Poor customer services mean that this customer is going to shop elsewhere.

Searching for the cheapest airfares, Bravofly appeared to come up with the cheapest deal by about 10%! Great, we thought...however, as we went through the booking process the fare jumped up by about £25 per person as the cheaper fare became "unavailable". Then there followed a compulsory £7 Visa transaction processing fee, plus it stated we would be charged in euros and not the pound sterling price listed. This meant that a 2.75% foreign exchange commission from Barclays was charged (equivalent to an extra £18 per ticket!). All in all there was no saving at all!

How about trying to put the gauze on it where it won't stick to the burn.....
Like maybe putting gauze in really thick layers AROUND the burn and then layering a piece on top of it so it is still protecting it, but there is an air pocket in between?

Hi Everyone,
If you wish to get a prospective of how propagation is doing this Fall and Winter, I have begun my weekly reporting of what I am seeing here in North Texas on 10 Meters.
PropNET Studies Blog:
I use my 10 Meter PropNET PSK31 captures to compile this info. Your results may vary, but is intended to give you an idea of what 10 Meters is capable of doing during the Fall and Winter when F2 MUF rises. I will report weekly and will add some 2011-2012 comparison charts soon.
The F2 season has already taking off and Europe to North American activity is more than the same time last year. Solar flux is a little down, but geomagnetic activity is more quiet.

A fire of fairness has always burned inside Amanda Pustz.
So it's probably no surprise that she finds herself on the front lines of one of the largest, most organized and sustained labor movements in recent memory; from the moment that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker announced his intent to strip public employees in the state of nearly all their collective bargaining rights.
Pustz, a middle school teacher in Madison, Wisc. and a 1997 graduate of Kalamazoo College with a degree in History with a secondary education certification, would have nothing of Walker's so-called budget repair bill.
She remembers when Walker's plan was announced in mid February. The news shocked her, along with several of her colleagues.
"How could I not get involved?," she said. "We had to take a stand – and quickly."
The leadership of her 5,000-member union, Madison Teachers Inc., met later that day. Emails between union members were exchanged. And, finally, a decision was made.
Many teachers would stay home from work the next day in protest of the bill and to head to the capitol building to speak with legislators. When Madison Public Schools officials, who run the state's second largest district, determined that many teachers would not be showing up for work, they decided to close the district the next day.
"We thought, 'we just shut down the district,'" Pustz said. "We could make a difference, or at least make people pay attention. I can't understand why some people don't understand what we're doing. Why can't we all rise together?"
The fight had begun.
On an afternoon in early March, Pustz found herself in a familiar spot, meeting some of her fellow union members, protest placards resting on their shoulders, at a spot next to the state capitol building.
Moments later, they began marching – along with union members from the skilled trades, firemen, cops and everyday people who supported their cause – in a ring of democratic activism that encircled the capitol since Day 1 of the struggle, which garnered the attention of the nation.
She spent a night in the lobby of the capitol, one of hundreds who assembled in a huddled mass of humanity to protest what they call an unprecedented assault on the middle class and average working Wisconsinites.
In many ways, Pustz has been in this protest march before, at least in a metaphorical sense. She's felt the rush of adrenalin and empowerment that comes with being a part of an organized cause before.
She had always felt a strong sense of the need to advance justice from her time growing up in Ottawa, Ill., a city just southwest of Chicago. But that sense was strengthened in her time at "K," a college she settled on after looking at several small private schools in the Midwest.
The strong spirit of advocacy for social justice issues she found at "K" became the fertile ground for the activist that had always been within her to grow and flourish, she said.
After several African-American professors resigned during her junior year, amidst some controversy, Pustz decided to get involved, becoming a member of the Coalition On Race and Diversity (CORD), she said.
"My time at "K" definitely played a role in my growth" as an activist, Pustz said, adding that several of her research papers at "K" focused on the social movements of the 1960s and '70s.
"Every day I go to work is a quest for social justice."
The tenets of justice she learned at "K" are being put to good use, not just on the protest lines, but most importantly, in her classroom.
She teaches special needs students at Cherokee Middle School, where several of her students come from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds. The invigorated labor movement in her state, as well as the near daily protests, provided several teachable moments for her students.
"Every day I go to work is a quest for social justice," she said. "I'm not doing this for the money."
In a controversial move, the Republican members of the Wisconsin State Senate signed Walker's bill after 14 Democratic State Senators had fled the state to stave off a vote on the measure. Walker signed the bill a few days later.
But the fight seems far from over. More than 100,000 protestors converged on the capitol on March 12 in one of the largest demonstrations ever in Madison, a city well known for activism.
Talk of a recall effort to remove Walker and some legislators continues.
But no matter what the end result, Pustz knows that she made her mark on history.
"This is awakening a debate about economic equality," she said. "A lot of different people are galvanized around this issue. The world is watching. The real question now is: What kind of country are we going to have? I want to be a part of helping to answer that question."

If you are a working American, congratulations. As a result of the recent compromise between President Obama and the U.S. Senate on one side and the House of Representatives on the other, you will be getting a small tax break for two months.
If you are planning to buy a home next year, you may not feel very good about the deal. You will be paying a substantial part of the cost of it.
Conservatives of both parties in the Senate and House had serious reservations about President Barack Obama's proposal to extend into next year a 2 percent payroll tax cut. As matters stand, it has been approved for only two months - and that after an enormous amount of rancorous, often purely political controversy.
A major concern thoughtful Republicans and Democrats have about the tax cut is that it would, in effect, put more money in Americans' pockets for a few months while costing the already beleaguered Social Security program dearly in the long run.
But there were many other concerns about the Obama plan.
The deal agreed to last week has several components in addition to the two-month tax cut. The total cost of the package is estimated at $33 billion. How will that be funded? By increasing the fees federally owned mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge lending institutions to insure home loans. That cost will be passed on to home buyers in one way or another. That is something Obama and lawmakers would prefer you didn't consider.

[Pics] Real World High ISO Images From The Nikon D4
Yesterday I shot a full wedding with the new Nikon D4 that LensProToGo was kind enough to send me since mine isn't here yet. I was extremely pleased with the way that the camera performed and although I haven't gone through the images yet, I picked out 6 random shots that were taken at high ISO so that you guys can see the noise in real world situations.
Both of my shots taken at 12,800 ISO are still under-lit and they have motion blur meaning that these are very poor examples of the cameras quality at this setting. In my opinion ISO 12,800 is totally usable and I will go even higher the next chance that I get.
We should have a full review of this camera compared to the rest of Nikon's fleet in the next few days.
