Given their propensity to trade future draft picks in the early 1990s, the Dallas Cowboys developed a quantitative tool to help them make better decisions. Commonly referred to as Jimmy Johnson's Trade Value Chart, the methodology actually came into existence because of team executive Mike McCoy. Specifically, McCoy developed a numerical value for each draft position such that proposed trades could be evaluated quickly and objectively. Still in use today, that chart reflects how teams seemingly value future draft picks. Similarly, I created the T10B Football Index (TFI) as a mechanism to value future picks based on expected production. McCoy showed what teams are willing to do. In comparison, I'm trying to show what teams should do.
Randy Moss or Jerry Rice – Who Ya Got?
If given the option, who would you chose between Jerry Rice and Randy Moss? Arguably the two greatest receivers in NFL history, one proved to be the epitome of excellence while the other had a flair for the spectacular. While Moss had impressive career totals of 156 TDs and over 15,000 yards, he fell far short of Rice's career totals of 197 TDs and almost 23,000 yards. Still, I'd like to ask Tom Brady which receiver he'd prefer to have in his huddle. For that matter, I'd like to ask Joe Montana or Steve Young the same question. I imagine the former 49ers would stick together. However, I'm sure both QBs would have relished throwing to Moss as well.

Alan Thomson's review of the Council for Graduate Education's report, The Award of the Degree of PhD on the Basis of Published Work in the UK, (THES, September ) was accurate on the danger to the quality and standing of higher degrees and the debilitation to the general research base.
Postgraduate diplomas are already awarded to non-graduates and masters degrees to candidates with less knowledge of the primary field than is standard for an undergraduate qualifying in the subject. Even the doctorate has suffered as it is now available in England for coursework plus a thesis not exceeding 30,000 words.
I had hoped that the PhD, at least, had retained its standing. In vain: The UK Council for Graduate Education is indeed espousing a merger of the PhD gained through training and a substantial thesis with one granted on the basis of collected articles and/or other publications. The educational function of graduate awards is thus thoroughly undermined and universities are urged to qualify those they have not taught by means of examiners who are, in the majority, external to the awarding university.
There can be no doubt that there exist able, original and incisive researchers making an active contribution to the research base who, for one reason or another, do not possess the PhD. (The description probably captures a fair proportion of the professoriate.) But then honorary degrees exist to acknowledge this kind of contribution. The PhD, properly, has its own understood function and place in the academic training hierarchy and no one is served by a diminution of its standing or a blurring of its function.
The council's report notes the need for researchers to be trained in the preparation of work for publication and the additional need to protect original work through publication. The majority of PhD regulations allow the inclusion of published work to encourage the one and secure the other. Equally, any supervisor failing to prepare her/his charge in the art of writing for publication is failing. Thus each of the identified needs can be met within the training remit and neither serves to argue for qualification without training.
Short reports and articles rarely connect their contribution to the relevant field by detailed demonstration. The norm, however, if fundamental research is to be protected and preserved, should be contributions based on a sound knowledge achieved through persistent and well-supported study. Equally, the rush to publication through the establishment of the research assessment exercise has expanded avenues for publication and suggests that research publications may not have retained the standard available, say, ten years ago.
Certainly, first shots and training exercises should not be automatically equated with the output of mature and established researchers. The council appears, at least, to have forgotten the educational role of research training, remembering only that a superficially similar product may be seen at the end of the day. The journey, for the sake of the student and the field, is more important than the thesis but the thesis stands as a demanding demonstration of learning and competence.

Norway unprepared for terror attack: WikiLeaksJuly 23rd, 2011 - 10:31 pm ICT by IANS
London, July 23 (IANS) Norway is ill-quipped to stop terror attacks, a British daily said Saturday, quoting secret US cables leaked by WikiLeaks. One memo warns that "Pakistani-Norwegians" are ripe for radicalisation".
A US memo written in 2009 describes the country's security service as "in over its head" and adds that "it simply cannot keep up," The Telegraph said.
Another memo, of 2007, warns of the potential of Pakistani-Norwegian youth being radicalised and describes Norway as a "country that continues to feel immune from terrorism".
One memo described how US authorities had to "press" their Norwegian counterparts to take terrorism seriously and says there was a feeling "that terrorism happens elsewhere, not in peaceful Norway", the paper added.
US ambassador Barry White said that the Norwegian security services once lost track of bomb-making equipment which was being stored in an apartment.
The security personnel then failed to track a suspect for 14 days because the investigator assigned to him was called away on another job.

The Ruined Lodge at Sooke Potholes
Last Sunday, James, Monique, Julie and I visited Sooke Potholes. It's a regional park (there's also a provincial park–I need to work out their relationship, geographic and otherwise) along the picturesque Sooke River, which drains into Sooke Basin just east of the little town of the same name.
The park gets its name from the potholes which dot the river's length:
Glacial action during the last ice age 15,000 years ago is responsible for the formations, as the moving, melting ice packs stripped the surface area and carved a path deep into the natural bedrock. Huge boulders carried along by the rushing river became lodged, were swirled against the canyon walls and consequently carved out the potholes that can be seen today.
It's an extremely popular park for swimming, as well as the moderately-dangerous activity of cliff diving. Some young person occasionally kills themselves when they misjudge a jump into one of the many pools.
The park has one other unusual feature–a kind of modern ruin. It's the remains of a lodge that Albert Yuen started developing after buying the land in 1981:
The heavily timbered lodge, the first step of Yuen's resort, still sits unfinished overlooking the Sooke River, just beyond Sooke Potholes Provincial Park. The 20-year-old structure will likely be removed because it's in bad shape, Turner said.
Here are a couple of photos of the remains:
Whenever I see this site, I'm struck by how it looks, on a superficial level, much like the ruins of a 500-year-old keep.

Shows how quickly things deteriorate when we don't maintain them. It could be 500 years old, but is not even 30. This reminds me of The World Without Us. Check out the "Your House Without You" video.

Indeed, I've read that book–it's terrific.
Shhh that's a local fave!!
I love the masonry. Perhaps it is romantic, but I think it will last far longer than simple reinforced concrete would.
I recently saw a bit of documentary about a Japanese island called Hashima, a mining company settlement that housed over 5,000 people and was then abandoned in the 1970s. The concrete highrises are now crumbling. Here is a link to some information and photos: http://surfacebelow.com/gunkanjima_1.htm
this castle is phenomenal. the quality of work is unmatched. destroying this "because of disrepair is a joke". this site should be used for something in the community. thats the biggest fire place ive ever seen. the walls and steps are perfectly square and fit. world class workmanship.
Yep it's incredible how fast things fall apart in nature. It is fascinating to say the least.
any one who has been there and actually went down those steps would know that that place is amazing simply from the view of those three waterfalls. i think that is my favorite place in the world.
hyo silver
I visited this place many years ago, back when it was only an unfinished building and not the modern ruin it is now. We crawled all over the roof and had an awesome time. It's sad to see only the stonework left, interesting though it is.
I went there several times in the late 90's. The view is truly unmatched. My husband and I renewed our vows in 2000, standing just outside of the building as because of deteriotaion we were not allowed inside.

"Champion of France, champion of Europe and now champion of the world; it's been a dream, year." The winner of five national titles since 2013, France's Titouan Perrin-Ganier got off to one of his trademark fast starts in the final, shooting into the lead and holding it all the way to the finish line. With passing opportunities few and far between on the Xinhua Park track, Perrin-Ganier managed the race to perfection to cross the line ahead of Germany's Simon Gegenheimer and fellow Frenchman Lorenzo Serres. Two-time UCI world champion Daniel Federspiel of Austria went out in the semi-finals. Perrin-Ganier's victory was France's third of the week following Nathan Charra's juniors 26'' trials win and the nation's team trials triumph at the start of the championships.

"I didn't make the greatest start, but I knew I could turn things around if I got past the Swede at the right moment." Swiss rider Kathrin Stirnemann did just that, overtaking Ella Holmegard in the boards section to snatch gold from the Swede, with France's Perrine Clauzel completing the podium. Stirnemann's win give Switzerland their first medal of the championships and also secured her the second rainbow jersey of her career. A world champion for the first time in Hafjell (NOR) in 2014, she finished third in the event in 2015 and was a runner-up last year.
The XCE finals marked the end of the very first UCI Urban Cycling, which brought together more than 230 riders from 35 countries. The new championship format, which comprises Trial, BMX Freestyle and XCE competitions held in city-centre locations, will return to Chengdu, in Sichuan province, in 2018 and 2019.

HSSD Embraces Social Media
Social media has revolutionized the educational landscape. As the use of electronic communication channels, such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Instagram, and You Tube become more common place among children and adolescents daily activities, schools and school leaders are capitalizing on their use to improve stakeholder networking and promote authentic student learning opportunities. The Hot Springs School District is no different. Each campus promotes and tells its own story through a variety of internet-based applications. Patrons are encouraged to contact their child's individual school for additional details.
A district mobile app will be available in the coming months. Additional particulars will be announced once the development is completed.

I love this nail polish and the finished health look you get with it...
I'm not even sure if you can get this anymore. They change shades every season. Hope so, I hate when I find something I like and they discontinue it. It's so frustrating. Not everyone wants to follow the trends each season.

There was a great review of different polishes that went with these photos so if anyone knows the name of the site let me know – I'd love to credit them and mark for future reference.

A Beginners Guide To Web Certificates
Today, more than ever, small business owners and those selling products online or marketing specific products and services use free templates offered through web hosting services to create their own websites.
These websites look professionally done and offer a very effective and low-cost way to start to build a customer base. However, if you want to be able to accept credit and debit cards or if you ask for any information from the visitors or users, having web certificates in place to keep the data safe is essential.
In order to comply with PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements for accepting payments, it is necessary to use an SSL/TLS certificate. These web certificates provide encryption at the browser and decryption at the server to provide secure transmission of the credit and debit card information.
In addition to protecting your user information during the transmission of data, it will also be important to perform specific scans of your website. These are called PCI vulnerability scans and they are required on a quarterly basis.
At Comodo, we offer several different types of SSL certificates that are ideal for small ecommerce sites, blogs or informational sites. We also offer more robust options to protect a main domain and subdomains or multiple domains all the same certificate.
It is important to realize that web certificates are more than just a certificate. They also include a set of paired keys, one which is private and one that is public. The private key is linked to the certificate and the certificate is linked to the website.
The private and the public key are really long strings of numbers that are mathematically related but not the same. The public and the private key will only work with each other to encrypted and decrypt the information. The public key works from the browsers to encrypt the information entered by the user. This is then transported to the server where it is decrypted with the corresponding private key.
The web certificates are used to provide trust and assurance that your website is verified or "vouched for" by a recognized Certificate Authority (CA). This is completed by the information you will supply from your server through a Certificate Signing Request.
Comodo is now the world's leading Trust Provider, and you will see our certificates on sites from all around the globe. Our TrustLogo site seal also identifies the sites we secure, plus our name is located on the certificate which you can easily view on any site by simply clicking on the padlock in the address bar or hovering over the TrustLogo site seal.
For those just starting out with a small website, any of the single domain web certificates may be the right match. These products can be issued for one, two or three year terms and they come in three different levels of validation.
The most basic level of validation is the domain level. This includes the CA verifying or validating that the individual applying for the certificate had the authority to do so and owns the domain name. This is typically done by a verification through WHOIS. This is a good option if your website doesn't collect personal or financial information.
The most commonly used option for most small business is the organization validation level. These web certificates show not only the domain is validated by the organization is also verified. This is done through comparing information from trusted databases about the business or individual, which is more significant than just verifying ownership of the domain.
The highest possible level of validation and one that is used when full trust and assurance is desirable is the EV or extended validation. Only companies can apply for this level as it includes both DV and OV levels plus additional verification of the authenticity of the company. This includes verifying a physical address and actual incorporation or other types of business designations.
It can be difficult for those new to the different web certificates to determine which is the best options for your needs. At Comodo, our staff is here to talk to you about your options. We even provide a full 90-day free certificate that you can use while you do your research. There are no strings attached, but we are sure once you see how easy it is to install and use you will continue to be a Comodo customer.
To talk to use today, give us a call at +1 888 266 6361 of chat with us via our Live Chat system on any page at https://www.instantssl.com.

NHD-0420D3Z-FL-GBW-V3 backlight flicker
I'm using a NHD-0420D3Z-FL-GBW-V3 in SPI mode at 64kHz. All functions are working, but the backlight is flickering randomly.
I figured out that the PIC16 microcontroller that sits on the display PCB is dimming the backlight by PWM. I measured this PWM pin and I saw that it is skipping a cycle once in a while, which causes the flickering.
Then I measured the SPI lines simultaneously and I saw that the missing PWM cycle always occurs short after the end of a SPI write cycle, short after the CS pin getting high.
See the attached screenshots of the timing (Ch 4 is the SPI MOSI instead of CH3).
As far as I can tell I met all timing constraints. It looks like the PIC 16 controller can't keep up and first handles the SPI transfer and then misses the timing of the PWM. SPI will probably have a higher priority then PWM.
Does anyone have an idea to fix this issue?

Last weekend, we took Theron to Arkansas for a family reunion. This
particular bit of the family is on my wife's side, for whatever difference that
The drive from Dallas to Little Rock takes about five hours. With a small
child in the car - especially a small child who is required by law to stay
buckled into his car seat - this has the potential to be, well, nightmarish.
It wasn't.
One of these things is not like the others
So we're driving along on a two lane stretch of highway, and we pass a
little cluster of businesses: three small buildings huddled around a parking
lot. The buildings are kind of tucked back into some trees, and they aren't
terribly well marked - at least not from the perspective of a moving car. So,
naturally, there was a sign at the front of the lot, advertising their
businesses. It said:
This is funny enough by itself, but here's the real punchline: we're no more
than ten minutes outside of the Dallas suburbs.
Small boys on the road
I took a day off work, so we were able to leave on Friday. We packed (fairly
sensibly) on Thursday night, and in the morning I took Theron to his gymnastics
class. (In the process, I saw Nastia Liukin; apparently she trains there.) He'd
slept late, but he finished waking up in time to put in some serious
bouncing/balancing/somersaulting time. Then we went back home, shoved our bags
in the car, and got on the road.
Theron was calm and quiet for the first bit of the trip. After a little while we
fired up the portable DVD player (which is a godsend for trips like this), and
he watched Jimmy Neutron. This kept him occupied until, well, he fell asleep.
Better still, he had the courtesy to stay asleep until we stopped for food just
outside of little rock. Once we'd finished eating, we finished the trip - a
matter of about twenty minutes - and arrived at the home of my wife's
grandmother, who is best known as Meme (pronounced "me me").
The hosts and the horde
Meme had already headed over to... hm. I'm not sure what to do about names for
this entry, so I'm going to err on the side of privacy. Right, so...
Meme had already headed over to M & D's house, where the rest of the group had
gathered (or was gathering). Fortunately, she'd left instructions (and a room
key) for us at the gate. (That probably makes more sense if you already know
that Meme lives in a retirement community, with both individual houses and
apartments. We were staying at a guest apartment in the complex.)
There's a fairly large extended family with Meme at the center, and this
particular gathering had somewhere around forty attendees. A lot of them were
around our age, and - more to the point - had kids around Theron's age. M & D
have a large house - at least by my standards - with a pool and some play
equipment in the back yard. They had (very sensibly, I thought) arranged to have
food available throughout the weekend, so that people could graze when they got
hungry. (This was vastly easier than trying to get everyone to a restaurant, or
even sitting down for a meal together.)
So, really, the location was ideal. We arrived at M&D's house, and immediately
got in the pool. I cannot recommend this highly enough as way to finish a long
car trip. There was food, beer, and conversation; and then we went back and
found our room, watched Robots, and went to sleep. (The portable DVD player also
plugs into the television in the room, so we could watch on a regular-size
screen. It really is a stunningly useful little device...)
Saturday followed much the same pattern, except that we were a little slow to
get out of bed. By the time we reached M&D's house, family photos were well
underway. This culminated in a valiant effort to get all the small children
together on one couch for a group picture. I decided, since everyone else was
trying to get pictures of the kids, that I would get video of the setup instead:
I wound up taking a nap - I was (and still am) recovering from a sinus
infection. Later, somebody put on a movie in the home theater upstairs, and
Theron watched The Incredibles - which has now become one of his favorite
movies. Later, I goofed up - I had been supervising Theron upstairs, and I
didn't follow him back downstairs. (My wife was out by the pool, and I didn't
realize that she wasn't where she could keep an eye on him.) This resulted in
Theron wandering around and driving a toy truck on the antique furniture for a
bit, which was entirely my fault.
More food and conversation followed, until bed time arrived and we returned to
our room once again.
And then we were lost
On Sunday we got up, went over to Meme's house, had breakfast, and then went on
to M&D's house. This allowed us to make our valedictions (and return a movie
that M&D had been kind enough to loan me overnight). We were on the road by
eleven o'clock, and turned down Kanis to bypass downtown Little Rock (which
Theron kept referring to as "Big Rock").
By about eleven-twenty, I was pretty sure that this was not the way we'd
arrived. That seemed a little unlikely, since all we really had to do was follow
Kanis until we hit a fairly major intersection, but the landscape - while scenic
- was unfamiliar, and we kept not finding the turn off. After a while I turned
us around and drove back to a gas station I'd seen.
It may tell you something about the area when I point out that not only did the
gas station lack any sort of pay-at-the-pump capability, the three pumps were
labeled "Diesel", "Diesel", and "Unleaded". If you needed a better grade of
unleaded, you were out of luck.
The people at the gas station were exceedingly helpful, and directed us back
into Little Rock. So, about an hour after we'd first set out, we found ourselves
back on the road that runs between Meme's place and M&D's house.
This was not an auspicious start to the trip.
It turns out that there are actually two Kanis roads (or maybe one of them is a
lane or a parkway or somesuch), and naturally we'd been following the wrong one.
We took the direct-but-slower route through downtown Little Rock, picked up
lunch at a drive-through, and finally got onto the highway.
The trip back was much like the trip there, only in reverse. Theron sat still
and watched a movie; at one point when we stopped for gas we discovered that
he'd managed to pee all the way though his diaper, to the point where his outfit
and his car seat were completely soaked. Possibly he'd soaked the actual seat of
my car, too; I didn't want to detach the car seat in order to check. We got him
changed, and put a towel down on the car seat, and once we got back on the road
he fairly quickly fell asleep.
We stopped for sushi on the way into town. (Theron slept through that as well.)
Then we stopped at a park, so he could slide and run around a bit.
Then we went home, put everyone to bed, and spent the week being tired. Whew!
All in all, it was an excellent family trip.
There Must Be Beer
Theron woke me up on the Friday after the trip.
Actually, that sentence is somewhat misleading. I was in the bathroom, having
shaved, showered, medicated, and brushed my teeth - I was, in fact, very nearly
ready to leave for work - when Theron and the Beautiful Woman wandered in and
found me. Theron, it seemed, had been awake since about five-thirty, but he had
stayed still in his bed at his mother's request.
So, I went back to our bedroom and got into bed and made loud snoring sounds so
that Theron could come and wake me up. (Theron: "Wake up wake up wake up!" Me:
"I'm awake I'm awake I'm awake!") Then he grinned at me, and ducked his head,
and asked: "Does Daddy need a beer?"
This is, of course, entirely my own fault. One evening last week, I sent him
into the kitchen to fetch me a beer. (His mother was already in the kitchen; she
helped.) Being a three-year-old, he has not forgotten this, and he occasionally
asks if I need a beer.
So I explained to him that beer was for night time, before we go to bed. In the
morning, when we wake up, Daddy needs tea.
That was yesterday.
This morning, Theron came in and woke me up again - this time for real. He
needed me to put one of the wings back on his wingy monster. (This wingy monster
is an action figure that Theron took from my desk at work. It's supposed to be a
vampire, but it's a very bestial, chiropteran sort of vampire. As a result, it
bears a pretty close resemblance to the Wingy Monsters [Winged Twilights] in
Daddy's Game [Morrowind]. In addition, Theron commandeered a zombie action
ficture, and of course he thinks they're both wonderful toys, perfectly
appropriate for a child his age.)
Once I'd fixed the wing (a simple matter of popping it back into place - they're
meant to be interchangeable on these toys), Theron sat next to me and said, "The
Wingy Monster wants to talk to the Zombie."
I wasn't quite ready to be the zombie yet, so I said, "I think the Zombie is
still in your room. Theron, can you go find Mommy? Find Mommy, and tell her,
'Daddy needs tea.' Okay? 'Daddy needs tea.'"
Theron said, "Otay." (Translation: "Okay") Then he grinned. "Daddy not needs
beer. Daddy needs tea."
I said, "That's right, Theron. It's morning, so Daddy needs tea."
Zombie Homeopathy
Eventually, there was tea and I made it into the kitchen. Theron wanted me to
play with the zombie, while my wife played with Octopus Monster. More to the
point, he wanted us to make Octopus Monster talk to the zombie.
So I'm sitting at the kitchen table, sipping my tea, and making the zombie talk
to the Octopus Monster, when I spot this this business card lying amidst
yesterday's mail. On the front, it gives the name and phone number for someone
who claims to be a "Homeopathy Physician" (and actually puts "M.D." after his -
or possibly her - name).
Well, the thing unfolds. So I open it up and look at the inside, and find:
Stimulate body and mind to heal naturallyHOMEOPATHY CURES
Stimulate body and mind to heal naturallyHOMEOPATHY CURES
Beneath this is a list of things that Homeopathy can cure. I call my wife over,
because - in addition to things like "Allergies" and "Acne" - it has a bullet
point for "Woman disease like Menstrual problems, Menopause, Uterine fibroid,
Pregnancy related disorders, Brest lumps etc." That's an exact quote, by the
way, so the erratic capitalization and misspellings are all part of the original
So I'm sitting there thinking, Homeopathic medicine cures Menopause? Seriously?
Except that I'm currently the zombie, and my wife is currently the Octopus
Monster, and our son wants us to make the two monsters talk to each other. This,
naturally, pulls the conversation a little off track...
Octopus Monster: "Hi, zombie"Zombie: "Hi, Octopus Monster."OM: "What are you looking at, Zombie?"Z: "It's a business card. It says homeopathic medicine can cure all kinds of
things."OM: "Do you need homeopathic medicine, Zombie?"Z: "Well, I was hoping it would cure Rotting Flesh."OM: "Yes, you do seem to have a problem with that."Z: "It would be great if I could rub some powdered rose leaves..."OM: "Maybe a poultice?"Z: "...or maybe put a poultice on my arm and have the flesh grow back."OM: "Well, maybe there is some sort of natural cure for that."Z: {thoughtful pause}Z: "Brains."OM: "Oh, yes. The brains of the living."Z: "Brains are homeopathic."
Octopus Monster: "Hi, zombie"Zombie: "Hi, Octopus Monster."OM: "What are you looking at, Zombie?"Z: "It's a business card. It says homeopathic medicine can cure all kinds of
things."OM: "Do you need homeopathic medicine, Zombie?"Z: "Well, I was hoping it would cure Rotting Flesh."OM: "Yes, you do seem to have a problem with that."Z: "It would be great if I could rub some powdered rose leaves..."OM: "Maybe a poultice?"Z: "...or maybe put a poultice on my arm and have the flesh grow back."OM: "Well, maybe there is some sort of natural cure for that."Z: {thoughtful pause}Z: "Brains."OM: "Oh, yes. The brains of the living."Z: "Brains are homeopathic."
So there you go, folks. Brains are homeopathic medicine for zombies. You heard
it here first.
One of these days, Theron is going to repeat something like this at school (or
church, or somewhere equally inappropriate). I'm not looking forward to
explaining our sense of humor. On the other hand, it'll probably make for some
interesting parent-teacher conferences...

Michigan dominates in combine Bench Press
Michigan dominates in the NFL combine bench press. I'm talking Michigan players who went to high school in Michigan.
Last yr Jake Long and Vernon Gholtson had the combine high of 37 reps of 225lbs(i believe). This yr Terrence Taylor was second in the combine with 37 reps of 225lbs. According to Tim Jamison, Taylor was upset with this and thinks he can break 40 reps, and will try to do so in the pro day.

Chelsea enjoy punishing weakened Arsenal in confident win
Chelsea came out comfortable winners of an exciting encounter at Stamford Bridge, beating Arsenal 3-1 in a game they could have scored far more in. It was a worthy revenge for the 3-0 defeat at the Emirates that may prove to be the catalyst for another Premier League title for Chelsea.
A tense first ten minutes where both sides showed intent up front gave a hint of the intense encounter that was to come. Chelsea threatened on the counter in the early stages, with Moses in particular causing the Arsenal defence problems. He was brought down by Francis Coquelin early on as he burst clear, a first indication of the lack of midfield control that was to cost Arsenal dearly through the course of the game.
Gary Cahill had a clear header from a corner after sustained Chelsea pressure and should have scored, but despite a series of missed chances there was the feeling that a goal was coming.
Pedro inititated the move that would lead to the Blues opener, finding space on the right to play a fine cross to Diego Costa in the middle. The Brazilian struck the bar with a powerful effort, and Marcos Alonso came steaming in to the send the ball into the net and Hector Bellerin, entirely accidentally, into the ground.
Scoring did not see Chelsea drop off, instead the goal rattled Arsenal, who were only able to watch for long periods of the first half the the Blues string together beautiful passages of play to repeatedly threatened Petr Cech's goal. Eden Hazard was central to the effort, his changes of pace and clever movement causing all sorts of problems to a reshuffled Arsenal back line. Shkodran Mustafi was booked for a desperate foul on the Belgian as he tormented a shaken defense.
Arsenal threatened twice towards the end of the half, but Thibaut Courtois – who was immaculate both in shot stopping and catching crosses throughout this game – prevented the Gunners from making an impression on the scoreline.
N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic dominated the Arsenal midfield through the second half, with Arsenal unable to use half-time to change the flow of the match significantly.
Kante in particular continued his fine form from the Liverpool game, totally dominating the game from start to finish with his energy and intelligence. Performances like this are elevating his status in the history of Premier League midfielders to quite astonishing levels considering he's been in the league just 2 years.
Hazard then provided the most memorable moment of the game, slicing through the Arsenal defence with a beautiful run and finishing calmly over Cech. A world class player at his very best today, the goal was a moment of pure Hazard excellence.
The fun didn't end there however, and there was still time for Cesc Fabregas to score against his old club after a defensive mixup, and for Olivier Giroud to score a rather embarrassed late consolation.

Here's your big, fat, Internet go crazy, Brit tabloid rumor of the day: Christopher Nolan has been approached about directing James Bond 24.
"It's early days, but informal talks have begun between Nolan, his representatives and the powers behind the James Bond pictures, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G .Wilson," claims The Daily Mail.
Nolan's a lifelong Bond fan and the influence of that series can be seen in both his Batman trilogy and Inception.
Bear in mind that even if true Nolan is about to begin filming Interstellar, which pretty much means he's booked for at least the next year so timing alone could preclude him from helming Bond 24. Again, if any of this rumor is true.

Project Overview +
Despite major scientific advances, heart failure continues to be a common and costly condition, and each year more than 1 million people are admitted to an inpatient setting for acute heart failure. There is an urgent need for low-cost solutions to reduce morbidity in heart failure.
Several studies have shown that self-monitoring can improve quality of life in heart failure patients. Self-monitoring includes daily tracking of symptoms, weight, and exercise. Accurate self-monitoring, feedback and self-efficacy (an individual�s belief in their ability to perform a specific behavior) are essential components of the self-regulation cycle and are critical for managing heart failure.
ManageHF4Life is a mobile application designed to promote self-monitoring and self-management of heart failure. Behavior change interventions that focus on self-regulation are particularly well suited for automation. The use of technology can decrease the burden of self-monitoring and enhance self-regulatory efforts. Cyclical processes of goal setting, behavior change, and goal assessment can be easily tracked, charted, reviewed and automated.
Aims +
Aim 1:
Determine the impact of a self-monitoring mobile heart failure application on
(1) self-management, (2) quality of life, and (3) hospital admission in
ambulatory heart failure patients.
Aim 2: Determine the extent to which passive pre-clinical measurements predict symptoms of clinical worsening of heart failure.
Aim 3: Develop a notification message system for the mobile application to improve self-management of heart failure via patient participant feedback.
Participants +
All patients enrolled in the 2 phases of research will be greater than 45 years old and have a left ventricular ejection fraction <40%. Patients will be excluded for any of the following: unstable coronary syndromes within the 8 weeks of enrollment, primary valvular heart disease, primary myocardial disease, pericardial disease, uncorrected thyroid disease, advanced renal disease (dialysis or creatinine >4.0 mg/dL), end-stage heart failure (hospice candidate), active cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, discharge to a setting other than home, or requirement for chronic inotropic therapy.
Intervention +
Phase 1 is a clinical study to determine the effects of the mobile application and the predictability of passive pre-clinical measurements on clinical worsening in ambulatory heart failure patients. The app adapts to patients� reported symptoms and provides feedback with a global health indicator.
Phase 2 will establish an adaptive notification message system based on the patient�s passive self-monitoring and deliver notifications (i.e. behavioral interventions) to increase self-management.

Conversation at a New Year's party. That goatee really did look exactly right.
Same party, different conversation. It was funny how they all converged on him.
This is an old one that I just inked. Back when I first got my camera, I was amused by the out-of-context collection of pictures I was gathering.
So we have one of these sitting on top of this, and we're referencing this. It's become a Thing That We Say.
A hwacha is an awesome ancient weapon, involving arrows and rockets. Fun stuff.
Futurama references strike again, in an unexpected place.
And now, time for this year's episode of Hourly Comics Day! More work, cats, and funtimes.
Our friend Amanda had a birthday recently, and there was air hockey involved, among other things. The room with the air hockey was laid out so that the game could be observed by a surprising number of people, without disturbing the players. This may or may not have been intentional.
Is this irony? I think it's irony. Let's go with that.
This is a summary of a completely different birthday party. Good times, good times.
You know how cheesy villains tend to laugh into their capes? That's what I was thinking of here.
This is Stone's second-favorite hammer. It is quite popular with the friends, too.
Another moment from that latest D&D game. There was a desert, you see, and we didn't know much about it. Still don't.
An older conversation that is pun-tastic.
This is what good buddies are for.
Writers tend to be very familiar with the concept of imaginary friends.
And now, a Brainslug Interlude.
That was a big horse. And apparently it was tired of being petted by little kids.
A while ago we went with friends to a Goth Club (TM), and it was just as much fun as promised.
Goth clubs are great for people-watching.
I have found the goth club to be one of the most unexpectedly welcoming atmospheres of anywhere I've ever been. Everyone is welcome to dance, and no one need feel left out. This includes people ranging from scantily-clad girls, to skirt-clad guys, to the occasional Really Weird Dude.
No deep story here, just a moment that amused me, and continues to do so.
In our new D&D-style game, the character interactions are a lot of fun. Especially when one isn't quite sure how to react to another. (This is my character and one of our friends'.)
Here's a glance at the rest of the game group. Stone's character is the pointy one. This game is shaping up to be an entertaining time!
I managed to miss this year's official Hourly Comics Day, but I made up for it soon after. And the day had a high percentage of Cats.
When playing any kind of group storytelling game, it is important to make sure everyone is picturing the characters in the same way. Debates have been known to spring up at this point ... (The second option here would have been much more entertaining for the rest of us, though a wee bit impractical.)
Some silver-wrapped Hershey's Kisses introduce us to a new term.
I didn't grow up with Febreze-style sprays around, but their uses have become clear to me. These uses are many and varied!
The continuing adventures in finding stuff that isn't ours after a party. It is always entertaining.
This is what we've come to call an Educational After-School Special. In today's episode, a friend of ours demonstrates why a certain substance is Bad, by unwittingly ingesting a lot of it.
...Did I mention there are seven parts to this?
By part three, we had a system in place.

In any storytelling game that involves multiple people, it is inevitable that some things will turn out differently than expected. Often it's by complete accident, like giving directions to the wrong building -- and then everyone is so amused that it becomes canon. And other things may just be someone's subconscious speaking. Just maybe.

Prayers To St. Anthony For A Baby
My husband and I had tried for five years to have a baby. Infertility specialists told us we had less than a 3% chance of getting pregnant on our own. All along my family had prayed that God would help us. My aunt, a Sister of St. Joseph, sent me a statue of St. Anthony and a prayer to him. She said it belonged to a man who had great faith in St. Anthony and his power of intervention. She said we would have a baby. My husband and I had gone through so much; could we really allow ourselves to get our hopes up? But I trusted my aunt and prayed daily to St. Anthony. In March of that year I discovered I was pregnant! All our hopes had come to be, and in December we had a beautiful baby boy. We named him Anthony, of course, and have since had two little girls. I am so thankful for our beautiful family and strongly recommend prayer to St. Anthony to anyone in need.

If only I lived on Drury Lane...
I am going to make muffins tonight to have with my breakfast in the morning. Jam muffins with homemade jam. I'm hoping to make at least six (I usually end up with 9, I have never been able to make a dozen of anything, muffins, cupcakes, cookies but 9 is my magic number). I will eat them for as many breakfasts as I can, being mindful of the calories. I will NOT devour the entire pan tonight. I am full of crap.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wet Reckless Driving
Posted on: 23 December 2015
If you have been charged with driving under the influence, a DUI attorney can be beneficial. In some cases, they may be able to get the charges against you dismissed. In other cases, they may be able to get the charges reduced. Typically, the charges can be reduced under the terms of a plea bargain, especially if the case against you is not solid. DUIs are commonly pleaded down to wet and reckless driving. If you have never heard of this term, you may have many questions about it and how this charge differs from a DUI. Here are some frequently asked questions about wet reckless driving.
What is a Wet Reckless Driving Charge?
A wet reckless driving charge is a unique type of offense. It is not an arrestable offense. This means you can't be pulled over and charged with this offense. You are either charged with a DUI or you are not. Instead, this charge was placed on the books as a way to entice those charged with a DUI to plead their case out and push people through the court system. As such, there are no specific requirements that differentiate when a person is wet reckless driving and when a person is charged with a DUI.
How Does the Prosecutor Decide Who to Offer Wet Reckless Charges To?
Ultimately, it is up to the prosecutor to decide who they want to offer a plea bargain for wet reckless to and who they do not. There are many factors that they use when determining whose charges they may reduce. Typically, first time offenders who are right at the 0.08 blood alcohol indicator are offered this type of plea deal. Also, if the prosecutor feels the case against you may be weak, they may be more inclined to offer this plea bargain, rather than take your case to trial.
Why is it Beneficial to Plead Guilty to Wet Reckless Versus Driving Under the Influence?
When you plead guilty to a wet reckless charge, you are looking at a lighter sentence than if you are found guilty of driving under the influence. Your probation period is typically only a year or two, compared to three to five years with a DUI case, and your court-mandated fines are often lesser. Another major benefit to a wet reckless charge is that there is not a mandatory sentence with this type of charge. This is especially useful if you have previously been convicted of a DUI and are facing a high mandatory sentence for your second or third offense.
However, while there are some differences in the sentences related to wet reckless and driving under the influence, there are some similarities as well. The department of motor vehicles, or DMV, treats a wet reckless and DUI the same. Your drivers license will be suspended with both charges. Many insurance companies also view a wet reckless the same as a DUI and may heavily raise your insurance rates. Lastly, a wet reckless conviction or plea will count against you if you are charged with another DUI in the future. This can affect your mandatory sentencing for multiple alcohol-related driving charges.
How can a DUI Attorney Get Your DUI Charges Reduced to Wet Reckless Driving?
A DUI attorney can work with the prosecutor to work out a plea deal. If the prosecutor knows that you will plead guilty to a wet reckless charge, they may be willing to offer it, just to push your case through the court system. Alternatively, an attorney may question whether the breathalyzer was properly calibrated or if there were errors when your blood was tested. If the prosecutor feels that raising these questions if your case goes to trial may result in a not guilty verdict, they may be more inclined to offer you a plea deal.
Many DUI cases are reduced to wet reckless driving cases. If you are offered a plea deal to reduce your DUI charge to a wet reckless charge, you will want to be familiar with what this term means, so that you can make an educated decision on whether it is best to accept the deal. For more information, contact a DUI attorney from a firm like Chichester Law Office.Share

With still eight months before the 2018 election for Stanislaus County District Attorney, Deputy District Attorney John R. Mayne announced he has received an endorsement from the labor union representing the sheriff's jail guards and court bailiffs.
The prosecutor in late August launched a campaign to replace his boss, District Attorney Birgit Fladager, who is seeking her fourth term.
Mayne says management at the DA's Office needs to change, describing a high number of attorneys leaving for other jobs. He said last week the Stanislaus County Deputy Sheriff's Association, which represents jailers and bailiffs, knows well what is going in DA's Office and the quality of his work.
"They saw that it was time for a change, saw the right person to make that change and were ready to support it in word and in deed," Mayne said on his campaign's Facebook page. "That takes attentiveness, interest and courage."

Fladager has beaten two other challengers before; she ran unopposed in her second election. But this is the first time she has faced a challenger who works for her.
"I appreciate the incredible job the correctional staff does in their duties at the Stanislaus County jail," Fladager said in an e-mail.. "While they have chosen to go a different direction for an election months away, I am proud to have the support of the county's top law enforcement officer, Sheriff Adam Christianson."
The sheriff, who has worked for the department since 1996 and held office since 2006, has announced his retirement and does not intend to seek re-election when his term ends in June.
Mayne said the deputies' union is the first law enforcement group in the county to formally endorse a candidate in next year's election for District Attorney.
"Mr. Mayne made a commitment to the prosecution of drug and assault offenses taking place in the jail facilities," said union president Pedro Beltran in a written statement. "The DSA's observation is that these type of crimes lack prosecution in comparison to the same crimes that happen outside of the jails."
Beltran said the union's nine-member board voted unanimously to endorse Mayne. The Deputy Sheriff's Association represents 265 deputies working in the county's jail and court facilities.
The patrol deputies who work for the same Sheriff's Department are represented by a separate labor union, the Stanislaus Sworn Deputies Association.
"The DSA includes the bailiffs, who see me in court virtually every day and have first-hand knowledge of what's going on both with me and with the office, generally," Mayne said in his announcement. "It also includes the jail deputies, who are a vital part of keeping order."
It's a three-candidate race with Modesto attorney Patrick Kolasinski in late March launching his campaign to become the county's top prosecutor. He said Thursday that the deputies' endorsement speaks volumes about the dissatisfaction of law enforcement groups with Fladager's administration.
"It's a clear sign that there's a problem in that office," Kolasinski said. "It's not surprising but noteworthy about how the deputies feel."
Kolasinski's primary practice is immigration law and criminal defense, and he has no prosecutorial experience. But he believes he has the management skills needed to run the office the other two candidates lack.
Fladager says the DA's office has employees who start their careers there and find more attractive pay, benefits or location with other jobs. She has said her administration team has been working with the attorneys' union and the county to focus attention on pay comparisons statewide to address the turnover issue.
"There will be plenty of time for campaign rhetoric next year, but this week I am focused on the justice we worked so hard to obtain for 14-year-old Alycia Mesiti, a young girl taken so early in life at the hands of her father," said Fladager, referring to the recent murder conviction of Mark Edward Mesiti.

I'm back with a couple of winter themed cards and playing along with the MFT sketch challenge for this week. I created 2 very similar cards. Such a fun sketch.
I then stamped and paper pieced the cute little snowman from the Cool Friend stamp set and used the Warm Heart Paper. The mug is the Hot Cocoa die from MFT and the sentiment is from the Hug in a Mug set. I added a vellum snowflake using the Let it Snow dies from MFT. As a final touch I added some marshmallows from the Toasted Marshmallow die set from MFT. The images are mounted on foam squares for dimension.
Next up, I used the Squared Off Panel from Reverse Confetti as the background this time.
Many of the same items have been used on this card as well - the Hot Cocoa, Toasted Marshmallow and Let it Snow dies from MFT. I then added a sentiment (which I cut apart) from the hotchocolate2stamp set from The Stamps of Life. I die cut the word hug and added it. The paper on this card is from Echo Park Perfect Winter.
Now here is the sketch that I used:
