Eagles’ Carson Wentz sure looks like the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year so far

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is the third rookie in franchise history to pass the 300-yard mark with two touchdowns in a game. (Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports)
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz looked impressive over the first two weeks of the season, completing 43 of 71 passes for 468 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. But some were waiting to see how the No. 2 overall pick did against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3 before anointing him as a passer with a future in the NFL.
[Forget building for the future. Carson Wentz and the Eagles are plenty good right now.]
Wentz carved up the Steelers’ defense to the tune of 301 passing yards and two touchdowns Sunday, handing Pittsburgh its biggest defeat since it lost 41-10 to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 of the 1989 season.
He is the third rookie in franchise history to pass the 300-yard mark with two touchdowns, and the Eagles are the only team in the NFL with no offensive turnovers. Six other passers have amassed 750 or more passing yards in their first three starts since 1970, but Wentz is the first since Warren Moon (1984) to do so without throwing a single interception.
“He played like a freakin’ Hall of Famer,” said Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward told reporters after the game. “I don’t know how many passes he missed, but he managed the game, got the ball to his receivers, got the ball to the running backs.”
Carson Wentz is the first NFL rookie to go without an interception in his first 100 passing attempts (Tom Brady wasn't a rookie).
And now that the Eagles are 3-0 and at the top of the NFC East, don’t be too surprised if Wentz walks away with the offensive rookie of the year award.
Since the NFL-AFL merger, no rookie with at least 100 passes thrown in his first three NFL games has a higher rating than Wentz (103.8). E.J. Manuel is the closest with an 86.5 passer rating in 2013. Cam Newton, who won the 2011 offensive rookie of the year award, had a rating of 85.1 over his first three games. Andrew Luck, who just signed a a six-year, $140 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts — making him the highest-paid player in NFL history — had a rating of 75.4. Plus, Wentz’s passer rating during his first three games stacks up favorably with any of the quarterbacks who won the offensive rookie of the year award over the past two decades.
According to the game charters at Pro Football Focus, Wentz’s 2016 campaign to date ranks ahead of any rookie passer at this same point of the season since 2006, the first year data is available (he has a PFF grade of 90.2, on a scale of 0 to 100). The previous best was 89.4 by Robert Griffin III in 2012 (plus-12.2), the year he won the offensive rookie of the year award as a member of the Washington Redskins. Russell Wilson (73.1) and Luck (66.8) also lag behind Wentz.
Took all kinds of grief for saying Carson Wentz might be the best rookie QB I've seen in 14 years of tape breakdowns.

And Wentz’s passing numbers should get better from here. According to Football Outsiders’ Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, Wentz and the Eagles face just three pass defenses currently ranked in the top 10: No. 9 Minnesota Vikings in Week 7, No. 3 Seattle Seahawks in Week 11 and the No. 10 Baltimore Ravens in Week 15. Nine of Philadelphia’s remaining opponents rank in the bottom half of the league for pass-defense DVOA.
This offense should continue to let Wentz be productive, but the Eagles’ defense could be the only thing standing in his way of a year-end award.
Heading into Week 3, Philadelphia’s defense ranked No. 2 in DVOA and was allowing a league-low 0.74 points per drive. With the Steelers scoring just three points on 11 drives on Sunday, that will only go lower. But teams that don’t allow many points don’t trail that often, which means they don’t throw a lot, either.
ARI, CAR, PIT, DET were 2-4 and 6 in DVOA. All lost. BAL was 5. Close win. Eagles likely to pull out to a big lead in our stats.
— Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz) September 25, 2016
For example, of the top 10 teams in point differential last year, eight threw a below-average number of passes per game. Just one, the New England Patriots, ranked in the top 13 for pass attempts. The Eagles currently rank No. 1 in point differential (plus-65), a sizable lead over the Patriots, who rank No. 2 (plus-36), which could have Philadelphia focusing on running the football as they nurse a lead late in games.
Who knows what Wentz’s passing stats will look like at season’s end, but a favorable schedule plus a 70 percent chance at the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2013 means it is time to believe in Wentz as the best offensive rookie of 2016.
“I don’t think [Wentz] cares about stats,” Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich said on Sunday. “I think he cares about winning and protecting the football and doing what it takes to win football games. And that’s a good thing.”
Correction: A prior version had Frank Reich listed as the Steelers offensive coordinator.

The invention relates to a noise damper comprising a molded part of polymer material having at least two chambers, which are designed as resonators with resonant frequencies that differ from one another, with the resonators covering essentially the entire area of the molded part.
Such a noise damper is disclosed by German Patent Application DE 40 11 705, which corresponds to the English language Canadian Patent Application 2,040,076. A prior art noise damper in accordance with that patent application comprises a sound absorbing molded part, which is covered on its top surface directed toward the sound source with a porous layer or consists of open-celled foamed plastic. The resonators of that molded part are designed as Helmholtz resonators, each Helmholtz resonator having a single opening on the side facing the sound source.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved noise damper so as to render possible a broader-band sound absorption and to enable the damper to be used in damp locations and/or clean rooms.
Within the scope of the present invention, the molded part consists of a closed-cell material, the resonators are formed as essentially cup-shaped protrusions that open toward the sound source, the molded part on the side facing the sound source is covered by an orifice plate which has at least two openings in the area of each resonator, and the molded part and the orifice plate are detachably joined together.
Due to these improvements and the advantageous operating characteristics, the noise damper according to the invention can be used in clean rooms, because it does not release any material particles from the molded part and/or from the orifice plate to the ambient air, and because it does not absorb any moisture. As a result, bacteria are reliably prevented from settling. By detachably joining the molded part to the orifice plate by a clamping system, for example, the entire noise damper can be easily cleaned.
In comparison to Helmholtz resonators, which have resonators with only one opening on the side facing the sound source, an essentially broader-band sound absorption is obtainable by the noise damper of the present invention. The number of openings is apportioned to the volume of the chambers of the corresponding resonators so as to produce a good sound absorption within a frequency range of at least 250 to 4000 Hz. In contrast, noise dampers designed as Helmholtz resonators can only absorb sound satisfactorily within a frequency range of 750 to 1500 Hz.
The sound striking the noise damper initially penetrates through the openings in the orifice plate and excites the chamber bottom and the side walls of each chamber to vibration. A portion of the energy is converted into heat by the inner friction of the molded part material. The remaining portion of the energy is damped by the oscillating air columns in the openings of the orifice plate. Therefore, even just one chamber of the molded part covered by an orifice plate with multiple openings makes it possible to have a comparatively broader-band damping of impacting sound, because, for example, air columns having dissimilar volumes vibrate inside the different openings of the orifice plate.
In accordance with one advantageous embodiment, the molded part may consist of a closed-cell foamed plastic, and the orifice plate may be made of metallic material. This embodiment is advantageous in that the noise damper does not absorb any moisture and, therefore, can be reliably used in wet locations or clean rooms. Therefore, the noise damper is suitable for use in the food processing industry and in the medical field. From a standpoint of production engineering and economics, it is advantageous to manufacture the molded part from a closed-cell molded plastic and the orifice plate from a metallic material.
The molded component can be provided with resonators of the same volume having conforming designs, with the number and/or shape of the openings in the perforated plate differing for different resonators. In the case of a noise damper having such a design, the flexural stiffness of the chambers correspond to one another; the wide-band absorption of sound is achieved by the variation of the openings in the orifice plate. In order to achieve this wide-band absorption, the volumes of the air columns inside the openings are dissimilar.
Another embodiment provides for the molded part to be designed with resonators having differing volumes and for the perforated plate to have a conforming or a dissimilar number and/or shape of openings in the area of each of the resonators. It is possible for the molded part having differently shaped resonators to be covered by a uniformly perforated orifice plate. Because the resonators have different shapes, each of them can have a distinct flexural stiffness, so that a good wide-band sound absorption is provided within a frequency range of 250 to 4000 Hz.
In accordance with one advantageous embodiment, the resonators can be designed with the chamber bottom arranged to allow it to vibrate relatively to the side walls of the chamber. The transition region from the side walls to the chamber bottom can be designed as a spring element which starts from the side walls and the chamber bottom and gradually merges into a reduced, membrane-like thin material thickness. The spring element can have a rolling-diaphragm-type design to allow the chamber bottom to move easily relatively to the side walls of the chamber. Chambers designed accordingly form a spring-mass system, in the case of which the spring is constituted by the air trapped inside the chamber and by the elastically flexible spring element, which is arranged in the transition region between the side walls of the chamber and the chamber bottom. The mass is made up of the relatively oscillatory chamber bottom. Because the chamber bottom is coupled elastically to the side walls of the chamber, the sound absorption in the lower frequency ranges can be improved. This type of design makes it possible to have a sound absorption in a frequency range of between 100 and 4000 Hz. Because the spring element preferably has a rolling-diaphragm-type design, an oscillatory motion of the chamber bottom relative to the side walls of the chamber produces only a slight mechanical flexing strain, which is advantageous in providing a durable design for the noise damper.
It has proven to be advantageous for the ratio of the sum of the surface areas of all openings to the total surface area of the orifice plate to be 0.05 to 0.45. With such a construction, an excellent broad-band sound absorption is achieved with a good mechanical dimensional stability of the entire noise damper.
According to one embodiment, the openings may have a circular shape with a diameter of not more than 4 mm. The openings preferably have a diameter of 1 to 3 mm, with the resonators having dissimilar shapes from one another. If the diameter of the openings amounts to less than 4 mm, impurities inside the chambers are limited to small particles.
With respect to a problem-free manufacturing of the molded part and a simple cleaning, it has proven to be advantageous for the resonators to have a cross-section that widens conically in the direction of the orifice plate. Following its plastic shaping, the molded part can be removed from the mold quite simply by the conical form of the resonators. The essentially conical chambers guarantee that any condensate will run off, so that no moisture residues, for example as may be left over from the cleaning of the noise damper inside the resonators. The condensate is carried off through the openings of the orifice plate to the outside.
A further increased frequency range for absorbing sound can be effected in that the molded part is only partially provided with a heavy layer on the side facing away from the orifice plate. The resonators provided with a heavy layer produce an improved sound absorption of comparatively lower-frequency vibrations.
A noise damper according to the present invention can be used as a ceiling and/or wall covering in moist locations and/or clean rooms.
FIG. 1 shows a noise damper designed as a sound absorbing element, in cross-section.
FIG. 1A shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the area labeled X in FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 shows a top view of the noise damper of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a detail of a noise damper comprised of a plurality of sound absorbing elements, the sound absorbing elements being designed as a ceiling covering.
FIG. 4 shows a detail similar to the detail of FIG. 3, with dissimilar noise dampers and a different fixing device being used.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a noise damper, essentially consisting of a plate shaped molded part 1 and an orifice plate 8. The molded part 1 is manufactured from a closed-cell polymer material and comprises a plurality of chambers 2, 3, which are designed as resonators 4, 5. In this exemplary embodiment, the volumes of the resonators 4, 5 (generally referred to as protrusions 7) differ so that their resonant frequencies are dissimilar. The resonators 4, 5 open out toward the sound source 6 and are covered by the orifice plate 8. The orifice plate 8 is provided in the area of each protrusion 7 with a plurality of openings 9, 10, in order to effect, in conjunction with the resonators 4, 5, a good sound absorption within a frequency range of at least 250 to 4000 Hz.
The molded part 1 and the orifice plate 8 are joined together detachably by means of a clamp-type fixing device 12. It is provided in the exemplary embodiments shown here for the orifice plate 8 to consist of a metallic material and to be joined to the molded part under elastic prestressing. Upon manufacturing, the orifice plate 8 is curved in a dome shape, similarly to the resonators. During assembly, the orifice plate 8 is transformed under elastic prestressing into a flat state and, by this means, tightly joined to the molded part 1.
FIG. 2 illustrates a top view of the noise damper of FIG. 1. This view shows the dissimilarity of the designs of the resonators 4, 5.
FIG. 3 depicts a detail of at least two noise dampers which are joined together in the area of their peripheral side boundary edges by the clamp-type fixing device 12. In addition to joining the noise dampers together, the clamp-type fixing device 12 also joins the plate-shaped molded parts 1 to each of the adjacent orifice plates 8.
Similar to the embodiment of FIG. 1, the resonators 4, 5 have dissimilar shapes. The resonator 4 is sealed by an orifice plate which has differently shaped openings. The diameters of the openings amount to 1 to 3 mm. The resonator 5 is covered by an orifice plate which has a plurality of identically designed openings. In addition, the resonator 5 is designed as a spring-mass system, the side walls 13 of the chamber 3 being joined to the chamber bottom 15 by means of a rolling-diaphragm-type spring element 14 that is formed integrally with the resonator 5. In this case, the orifices make up 25% of the top surface of the orifice plates directed toward the sound source. As a result, a good sound absorption results from a broad frequency range and, on the other hand, adequate inherent stability is achieved for the entire noise damper.
FIG. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment similar to the one in FIG. 3. On the side facing away from the sound source 6, the resonator 4 is provided with a heavy layer 11 for absorbing lower frequency vibrations in the range of up to 500 Hz. The resonator 5 is provided with a chamber bottom 15 that is coupled from the side walls 13 by a spring element 14. The noise dampers of FIG. 4 are intended to be used as ceiling covering and are secured by a clamp-type fixing device to a support 16.

Addiction as an Attachment Disorder by Philip J. Flores, Paperback | Barnes & Noble®
13 New & Used from $39.80 in Marketplace
From the Foreword: "Addiction is a disorder in self-regulation. Individuals who become dependent on addictive substances cannot regulate their emotions, self-care, self-esteem, and relationships. In this monumental and illuminating text Philip Flores covers all the reasons why this is so. But it is the domain of interpersonal relations that he makes clear why individuals susceptible to substance use disorders (SUDs) are especially vulnerable. His emphasis on addiction as an attachment disorder is principally important because he provides extensive scholarly and clinical insights as to why certain vulnerable individuals so desperately need to substitute chemical solutions and connections for human ones. The strength of Flores's paradigm of addiction as an attachment disorder is that it is a theory that effectively and wisely guides treatment, but at the same time, when properly implemented or practiced, the treatment resonates with and further enhances the theory. Flores's work here is an extraordinary one because, in parsimonious and clear language, he makes a major contribution to the literature and practice of effective psychotherapy in general and effective psychotherapy for the addictions in particular. He fills in all the gaps between theory and practice covering wide and ranging issues of what practice and empirical findings have to teach about the critical ingredients of AA, group therapy, and individual psychotherapy. This is a job well done because it helps students and experienced clinicians alike to always be mindful of how they bring their humanity to the distress and suffering of others. His theory of addiction as an attachment disorder makes it particularly clear how especially important this is for those suffering with addictive disorders. " —Edward J. Khantzian, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School A Jason Aronson Book
Addiction as an Attachment Disorder 5 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
This excellent book discusses the root cause of addiction as attachment disorder. Think of smokers whose cigarettes are always close by, loyal soldiers in a box at-the-ready to support and comfort, when no one else can be counted upon. An important read.

Obama campaign going up with first radio ad targeting African Americans
As the general election ramps up, the Obama campaign this week is launching its first national radio ad this cycle targeting African Americans.
President Obama. (Jewel Samad/AFP)
The 60-second spot, news of which was first reported by theGrio, features the sung refrain, “We’ve got your back. Mr. President, we’ve got your back.” An Obama campaign official said that the campaign has gone up with ads on urban radio stations on matters such as Obama’s jobs plan, but that the new round of ads is the first specifically focused on African Americans.
“Four years ago, we made history,” says the male announcer, speaking over a bass groove. “Now, it’s time to move forward and finish what we started together. We have to show the president we have his back.”
The spot also includes clips of Obama pledging to voters on the campaign trail not to cut back on health insurance for the poor or elderly or on programs such as Head Start to pay for upper-income tax cuts.
Reports theGrio’s Joy-Ann Reid:
A Reach Media advertising representative tells theGrio the ad buy is “early” compared to most election years, as advertising targeting black audiences usually comes right before ”get out the vote” efforts closer to Election Day. The timing of advertising to African-Americans, and the magnitude of ad spending with media outlets targeting or owned by African-Americans has long been a source of tension between black media and the Democratic Party.

Baldwin died in 1899 and left his estate to fund missionary causes. Wulsin ultimately purchased Baldwin's estate and continued the company's shift from retail to manufacturing. The company won its first major award in 1900, when their model 112 won the Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, the first American manufactured piano to win such an award. Baldwin-manufactured pianos also won top awards at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the 1914 Anglo-American Exposition. By 1913, business had become brisk, with Baldwin exporting to thirty-two countries in addition to having retailers throughout the United States.
Baldwin, like many other manufacturers, began building player pianos in the 1920s. A piano factory was constructed in Cincinnati, Ohio. The models became unpopular by the end of the 1920s, which, coupled with the beginning of the

Revealed: Britain's largest hospital trust breaking rules on hygiene | Daily Mail Online
Hospital trust found breaking rules on hygiene By
20:11 EST, 28 October 2008
The commission is inspecting every hospital trust this year to check they are following guidance on protecting patients from superbugs. In an unannounced visit in August inspectors found Imperial College Healthcare was breaching rules by not publicly displaying cleaning schedules. The watchdog also ordered the trust to give formal training to staff carrying out audits of cleaning.But it said none of the breaches would cause a risk to patient safety and added that the trust was exceeding targets for reducing superbugs. A spokeswoman for the trust said all of the breaches concerned problems with paperwork and it had created an action plan. She said the trust was fully complying to standards of cleanliness and had suitable handwashing facilities. Share or comment on this article

Īstu viesu atsauksmes par The Kenilworth Resort & Spa Goa
Facilities were outstanding, direct access to beach, spacious room although dimly lite, they didn’t have very big doors to let natural light in. Fabulous large pool set out beautifully it was so peaceful until the weekend when a wedding was set up and they then blared very loud music which kinda impacted on other guests. Another thing that was a bit annoying is out of the front it’s a bit stand alone among other hotels so local shops and ATM are about 10-15 walk, we saw a load of mountain bikes in the hotel so we thought great let’s asked if we could one each to explore, we were told by staff all the mountain bikes were only available to guest inside perimeter of hotel, which actually seem ridiculous as it’s not like huge grounds. Overall lovely experience and Would stay here again.
From the entry itself you can feel the warmth of the place. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff made it very comfortable for us with their prompt service. Angelo at the breakfast buffet made sure we got everything on our table without having to get up. The managing director personally spoke to us enquiring about our stay. The beach is very clean and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much at the property.

Beautiful resort but staff was not very helpful”
Kenilworth is beautiful, and it is located right next to a beach with a number of seafood shacks to choose from, making it ideal for a simple, relaxing weekend away. My boyfriend and I hardly left the property and the beach. One thing that marred my experience, however, was that the staff, while neither rude nor discourteous, was hardly helpful, either. On the few occasions we required their assistance (getting a taxi, fixing the electricity in our room (two of the three power plugs were not working)), checking in), we were not given clear directions or guidance, which caused, on each occasion, some hassle and confusion for us. I nevertheless enjoyed my stay overall, but would be more interested to experience other resorts the next time I return to Goa.

Stayed overnight to sample hotel and decide if we wished to return. It is a good family hotel”
Comfortable beds, Great breakfast, nice surrounds. Bathroom a little small but v clean. Stepping over bath to shower a little hard for older folks. Would stay there again.

Attractive site but plenty of underlying issues. E.g. mini fridge didn't work, socket for kettle didn't work.,locking mechanism for door faulty ,very close to another hotel which had very loud music playing until quite late etc
We were there just at the start of the rainy season so things were a bit slow. There may have been a reduction in staff for this slower time of year. We had a relaxing time at The Kenilworth. We enjoyed the spa services. Loved the beach shack restaurant in front of the hotel---great food and drinks and we got to use their lounge chairs all day!
