Apple Says It Was Unaware of Samsung Jury Foreman's Suit
Apple Inc. (AAPL) said it wasn't aware during trial that the foreman of the jury that issued a $1.05 billion verdict against Samsung Electronics Co. was involved in a lawsuit with his former employer, Seagate Technology Inc.
Samsung asked Apple to disclose when it first learned about the litigation between the jury foreman, Velvin Hogan, and Seagate. Apple responded in a filing yesterday in federal court in San Jose, California.
Samsung is attempting to get the Aug. 24 verdict thrown out based on claims the trial was tainted by the foreman's failure during jury selection to tell U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh, who presided over the case, that he filed for bankruptcy in 1993 and was sued by Seagate.
"Apple has not identified any Apple attorney or other member of the Apple litigation teams who was aware that Mr. Hogan had been a party to lawsuits involving Seagate until after the conclusion of trial, when Samsung raised the matter in connection with its post-trial motions," Apple said in its filing.
Samsung said it needs to know when Apple learned of the Seagate litigation to determine whether the iPod maker complied with an obligation to disclose "known misrepresentations" to the court, according to court filings.
'Stood Silent'
"If Apple knew that Mr. Hogan's statements were untruthful all along and stood silent in order to gain a tactical advantage from the seating of a biased juror, Apple's misconduct would itself warrant sanction and relief and certainly must be disclosed," Samsung said
Samsung also disputes Apple's argument that the Suwon, South Korea-based company should have discovered the juror's litigation history before trial instead of complaining about it after the verdict.
"Apple cannot fault Samsung for not discovering juror untruthfulness while refusing to disclose whether and when Apple itself discovered this untruthfulness," Samsung said in an Oct. 30 filing.
Apple said that on the evening of July 30, after jury selection, Apple learned of Hogan's bankruptcy from publicly available records, according to yesterday's filing. Apple said it didn't try to review the bankruptcy court file, which Apple's lawyers say they saw for the first time after trial when they were submitted by Samsung.
The jury in the patent-infringement case found that Samsung infringed six of seven Apple patents at issue and awarded the Cupertino, California-based company $1.05 billion in damages.
December Hearing
Koh has scheduled a Dec. 6 hearing to weigh Apple's bid, based on the verdict, for a permanent U.S. sales ban on at least eight Samsung smartphone models and the Tab 10.1 tablet computer. She will also consider Samsung's juror misconduct claims.
Samsung has argued that it has a "substantial strategic relationship" with Seagate and that Hogan's failure to disclose the Seagate suit raises issues of bias that Samsung should have been permitted to explore. The company has also said Hogan's public statements after the verdict suggest he failed to answer the court's questions truthfully to "secure a seat on the jury."
Adam Yates, a spokesman in the U.S. for Samsung, declined to comment on Apple's filing.
The case is Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) Ltd., 11- cv-01846, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).

Eighties style curly voluminous updo
This look channels the big hair of the 80's, with huge upswept curls. Long, blond hair is set in large curls, which are then teased a bit apart for added volume. Taking up one section at a time, hair is brought up to the center line, all along the side, continuing on into the back, and all the way to the other side. Sections are pinned in place along a straight line, but curled ends are left free, with a big portion hanging over the forehead. Additional pins and hairspray are used to keep the curls in one place, despite the riotous mass created on top of the head.

Irish Cheddar Fondue with Kale Pesto
Tangy cheddar cheese only gets better when melted with Irish ale and swirled with a garlicky pesto. Open the bottle of ale at least an hour before starting the fondue, to let it go flat. This will reduce the amount of foam and make it easier to blend with the cheese.

Never get a blister from sanding again
If you�ve ever developed blisters on your hands from sanding, you�ll appreciate these simple sanding blocks designed by Club member Alan Muir of Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada. Start with a dressed 15-in. length of 2x2 material. Make a 3/4-in.-deep x 9-in.-long cut with a table saw down the length of the block. Next, shape the handle to create a comfortable grip. Then simply wrap sandpaper around the stick, tuck the ends into the slot and sand away. Brought to you by: American Profile

The first cup of the day was some casablanca twist. Mint just works wonders when I need to be fully functioning. Right now, I decided to play with the sencha tea bag that was in my Den's sample kit. The pyramid tea bag is fun, and the tea tasted pretty decent. I will be on the second steep of that shortly.
Teachat stays open most of the time, if I am browsing on line. After surfing all sorts of forums, the attitudes here make it a welcome place to browse instead of places populated by less mature individuals.

Updated systematic review suggests that cranberry juice is not effective at preventing urinary tract infection
- Rutgers University, Marucci Center for Blueberry Cranberry Research, Chatsworth, New Jersey, USA
- Correspondence to: Dr Amy B Howell
Rutgers University, Marucci Center for Blueberry Cranberry Research, 125 A Lake Oswego Road, Chatsworth, NJ 08019, USA; ahowell{at}aesop.rutgers.edu
Commentary on: Jepson RG, Williams G, Craig JC. Cranberries for preventing urinary tract infections. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2012;10:CD001321.
Implications for practice and research
Not all cranberry products contain enough active proanthocyanidins (PACs) for clinical efficacy. Consumers should look for products containing 36 mg of PACs.
Cranberry is nearly as effective as low-dose antibiotics for urinary tract infection (UTI) prevention in women and children and does not cause antibiotic resistance.
If cranberry products are being recommended to patients, conclusions of this one review do not provide sufficient reasons to change current practices.
UTIs are a significant public health challenge with more than 15 million cases in the USA each year, with their treatment accounting for 15% of all community-prescribed antibiotics at a cost of $500 million annually. For decades, cranberry juice and powders have been routinely recommended by healthcare practitioners for the prevention of UTIs. Meta-analyses of the clinical studies on cranberry are occasionally published …

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Retrodish So far so good Just put it together 2 days ago. The assembly process wasn't bad particularly if you've ever put anything together before. The directions were step by step and the pictures corresponded by number to the instructions. Of course the pictures could always be better but the ones provided were effective and did provide enough information. Used the machine for the 1st time today, 20 minutes. It was quiet, didn't move around a lot, appears sturdy and I worked up a good sweat. I will continue to up my time by 10 minutes for the next few weeks. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and hope the machine will last as long as the elliptical I had previously, 7 years, before I sold it. January 15, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5�by Pete35 Awesome prooduct Awesome product! A high class eliptical machine but much more convienient and at 1/2 the cost and portable too. January 15, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5�by phoenixblaze27 Enjoyed my first Gazelle for 15 yrs. Loving my new one as well. I bought my first Gazelle Supreme 15 yrs ago when I was 21. I had a weight problem in my teens and my gazelle has kept me slim all these years. All that time it worked perfectly and provided me with a good cardio workout 3-4 days a week without stressing out my knees or back. It did develope a clunky whoosh sound after about 10 yrs but was still solid and worked just fine. Last year I got rid of my trusty Gazelle and joined a gym to conserve space. I gained 10 pounds in six months. So. I purchased my new Gazelle online a few weeks ago and have already lost 4 pounds. It was delivered right to my door and my husband assembled it in about half an hour, no problems. It's a wonderful, sturdy machine that adjusts to anyone's fitness level. I highly recommend and look forward to another 15 yrs with mine. June 30, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bater80 TheGAZELLE I haven't gotten to use it yet as I don't seem to be strong enough or flexible enough to get the cross bar into the holes in the outer frame. Hopefully my son and son-in-law will be able to help this weekend. Otherwise I'll have to call the local Dick's for the name of someone who will come to my house to assemble my Gazelle. August 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by cindy1111 Product is good assembly was a nightmare The assembly instructions were vague and the pictures were poor. May 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bigal As advertised I purchased the $199.99 version of this which I do not see on their website anymore. The package was delivered all beat up but everything inside was in perfect shape except the plastic water bottle which was broken. No big deal since I would not have used it anyway. The assembly directions were straight forward and I did not have any trouble putting it together. The unit works fine and my wife and I love it. Not sure why the directions say not to let children use it. My 9 year old grandson does great on it. December 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by CheriWho Tony Little Gazelle put together with help from my friends--not too bad. Works great--very sturdy. A friend bought the version that cost less and it is not as sturdy as this one. Very happy with it--although if it would have been on sale that would have been great!! November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lindas Subsantial and sturdy. Smooth motion. When I opened the (very well packed) box it looked like it would be complicated to put together! I was wrong! The directions were GREAT with lots of hints and illustrations. This is a solid, subtantial, well made piece of equipment. The action is very smooth and I am having a great time. My knees & feet are very happy (no jarring or strain). It came with a booklet of different ways to use it, that I would not have known. More fun, different body part to work, more interesting! Love this thing! Heres' to my happy heart and firmer body! July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by pops65 Online purchase We purchased this product online. Everything went without any problem. The product was delivered on time. We weren't so sure with the delivery problems during the Christmas season. We would purchase again without question. Great product, great service. January 6, 2014

IPO Search
The world's largest social network, Facebook is on track to complete its long anticipated IPO this week. Facebook plans to raise $10.6 billion, making it the fifth largest US IPO ever, by offering 337.4 million shares (47% insider) at a price range of $28 to $35. At the midpoint of the range, Facebook would have a market cap of $86.2 billion. Eleven banks are joint bookrunners, including Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs, in what is one of three deals scheduled to price this week on the US IPO calendar.
Note: Facebook raised the proposed deal size for its upcoming IPO on Tuesday. The social networking giant now plans to raise $12.1 billion by offering 337 million shares (47% insider) at a price range of $34 to $38. At the midpoint of the revised range, Facebook would command a market value of $98.6 billion.
Facebook operates a social platform that enables users to create profiles, communicate and share content between users and play online games, among other features. Since its 2004 founding, Facebook has rapidly grown to boast 901 million monthly active users and 526 million daily active users. Facebook generates the majority of its revenue from advertising, including display ads as well as premium ads with interactive content or more visible placement. More recently, it has introduced a proprietary payments infrastructure that entitles it to receive a cut of revenue from social game companies like Zynga. Facebook has rapidly achieved a successful operating model with revenue exceeding $4 billion and EBITDA margins above 60%.
For the fiscal 1Q ended March, sales grew 45% to $1.1 billion as a result of 37% growth in advertising revenue and 98% growth in payments revenue. Monthly active users (MAUs) rose 33% and daily active users (DAUs) rose 41%. Operating income, excluding stock-based compensation, increased 23% to $484 million, slower than sales, as a result of significant increases in sales and marketing and R&D headcount.
Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg will control 59% of voting power and will need demonstrate an ability to manage Facebook to meet investors' high expectations. Additionally, revenue growth has slowed in recent quarters, and while growth remains in excess of 40%, slowing user growth and user shift toward mobile devices which it has yet to significantly monetize, could result in revenue growth deceleration. Finally, 19% of total revenue in 2011 was derived from Zynga and payment revenue fell sequentially in 1Q12.
Given Facebook's rapid user growth and increasing focus on revenue conversion, Facebook appears to be well positioned for expansion in a $68 billion online advertising market and $1.5billion mobile advertising market. While decelerating growth is a concern, newer ad formats could help rejuvenate growth and the company may also be able to lever its platform into new revenue sources. Strong trading from peer social network LinkedIn (up 146% since going public one year ago) will also aid what is sure to be wide demand from investors in the most anticipated IPO since Google's 2004 debut.

Choppy Stocks Slump as Markets Parse Fed Minutes
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets closed lower Wednesday despite a stronger-than-expected home resale report as investors remained jittery about the prospects of a near-term decline in monthly bond purchases by the Federal Reserve .
Markets dipped slightly lower in the morning until minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's latest policy-making meeting emerged to further sink markets on worries that the central bank may begin to taper its stimulus program in September. The U.S. equity indices then pared the losses and spiked into positive territory, before settling back below the flatline.
The S&P 500 shed 0.58% to close at 1,642.80. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped 0.7% to close at 14,897.55. The Nasdaq lost 0.38% to close at 3,599.79.
"There's no news there," said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial. "The market looked at it and said, 'Oh my gosh, they're going to taper; Oh my gosh maybe they won't; oh my gosh we're back where we were.'"
Existing-home sales rose to a three-year high and greater-than-expected seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.39 million for July from a downwardly-revised pace of 5.06 million in June, according to the National Association of Realtors. Economists on average were expecting existing home sales to come in at 5.15 million for last month.
Before the market open, data showed that U.S. home loan applications declined a second consecutive week for the week of Aug. 16, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage application activity covering refinancing and home purchase demand slipped 4.6% as 30-year mortgage rates climbed 12 basis points to 4.68%.
Millan Mulraine, a New York-based senior U.S. macro strategist at TD Securities, wrote in a note that overall the existing home sales report was very encouraging and provides further confirmation of progress of a more normal housing market recovery. However, he cautions also that the upside surprise on the headline print "exaggerates" the true underlying tone in the housing market.
"The level of sales is likely to have been flattered by the rush of potential buyers into the market to lock-in lower mortgage rates," Mulraine explained. "Given this, we expect to see some moderation in activity in the coming months, as higher mortgage rates take some of the air from the recovery."

Skip to comments.Death Row Inmate Dies
Posted on 09/03/2006 6:34:50 PM PDT by Graybeard58
ATMORE A Monroeville man awaiting execution for the 2004 bludgeoning of his parents, Nancy and Dr. Tim Jones, took his own life on Holman Prisons death row Saturday, according to several officials.
Monroe County District Attorney Tommy Chapman said prison officials contacted him late Saturday to report that Timothy Jason Jones, 31, died late Saturday after slashing himself with a blade. Calls to Holman Prison were referred to Alabama Department of Corrections spokesman Brian Corbett, but were not returned Sunday. Officials in Monroe County and Escambia County confirmed they had been notified of Jason Jones death, but no further details were available.
It is fitting with his character to take the cowards way out, said Chapman. I feel for the family members of Tim and Nancy Jones who did all they could to help Jason all his life, and they will never be able to heal the hurt he left behind. I guess in his mind, this was his way of winning. In reality, everyone lost.
Jason Jones was arrested after co-workers reported Dr. Tim Jones was late to work on Jan. 29, 2004. Neighbors and police who arrived at the Jones home found a horrific scene. Tim Jones had been beaten and repeatedly stabbed in the carport of the house and Nancy Jones lay battered beyond recognition in her bed.
Jason Jones was caught later that day driving his mothers car in north Alabama. He crashed the car after fleeing from police.
Neighbors said the young man had spent years in and out of various rehabilitation clinics for drug addictions. His parents had recently taken a family-owned sports utility vehicle from Jason Jones, refusing to return it when he demanded to use it the night before their deaths. According to trial testimony, police called to the home during the night said he was belligerent and brandishing a knife in the Jones yard at one point.
Police took him across town and dropped off at a telephone booth as his parents requested. Later in the night, he returned to the Jones home, but his father locked him in a basement room at his grandparents home. He later broke out of the vacant home, walked back to his parents house and attacked his father as he left for work in the early morning.
Jason Jones then attacked his mother with a weapon he told police he fashioned from pipe and other objects at his grandparents house. She was beaten so savagely that parts of her jaw and teeth were found scattered across the room. Jones told police in taped statements he took money from her purse and bought crack cocaine, smoking it in the house before fleeing.
Jones was convicted of capital murder by a Jefferson County jury last year and sentenced to death. In his last statement to the jury, Jones said, I am a monster. I have no remorse for what I did. I deserve to die.
Monroe County Sheriff Tom Tate said Sunday he was not surprised by Jason Jones apparent suicide. If a person is intent on killing himself, he will find a way, Tate said. He used a piece of metal grating broken from our jail to cut himself in the neck while he was in our custody, Tate said.
It wont change what happened, but his death will bring some things full circle. The murders of Tim and Nancy Jones made up the most atrocious and brutal crime we have seen in our county, said Tate.
Attorney Katharine Coxwell, one of Nancy Jones closest friends, said the news of Jason Jones death brought an odd feeling on Sunday.
The thing about it that to me is especially tragic and sad is this, Coxwell said. If he were going to kill himself, he could have done it a long time ago, long before he killed Tim and Nancy. Now there are three people dead, and two did not deserve to be dead. His death will bring an end to part of this, but a lot of the hurt will never be over.
Coxwell said family members accepted the news with surprise, but there was no rejoicing.
There is really nothing happy here one way or another, Coxwell said. What he did to himself was terrible. What he did to his parents will haunt us all for the rest of our lives.
Good News!!!
Perhaps they should provide a 'way out' for all convicts on death row. It'd save the taxpayers a bundle.
Hooray! The gov't is saved hundreds of thousands of dollars to care for this guy through years of appeals.
I've never understood why they sometimes place such cons on "suicide watch."
Good to see he had the good grace to off himself after a short time and save the State millions.
How terribly distressing </sarcasm>
And the moral is?
Start distributing those blades!
Stop trying to feel sorry for these reprobates and we'll all feel happy. The fact he offed his parents as well as himself demonstrates he was not only a danger to society, but to himself.
Really. They should supply the cells with all the rope they need.
But that's just me...
Isn't it strange that the same people who agitate for the "right" to assisted suicide protest the execution of murderers;now would they assist those murderers in their "right to die"?
Yeah.... And?
IMO all death row cells should come equipped with a suicide kit. Maybe a hook in the ceiling and 6 feet of rope. Guards check each morning and throw out the trash.
Excellent! Frankly, they ought to give all of them their shoelaces back..
The gallows birds in each adjoining cell would be given a meal of steak and lobster following a dignified farewell service after each incident that is unless they were filing appeals and trying every legal maneuvar to postpone their date with the needle.
If nothing else, this demonstrates the need for force and authoritarian methods in prison. Jason Jones was on death row, typically locked down 23 hours a day, and was still able to fashion a lethal weapon there.
Well..let's hope that some appellate court will overturn his death and return him to life..right..that is how it works..right????
he cheated the hangman.
Think of it as a "tax cut". The citizens of that state saved money.
Am I supposed to be sad that death came sooner to a murderer on DEATH row ?
If only crack were legal! /s
LOL. Don't you understand, America is a fascist state until I am allowed to hit the pipe uninhibited in my home.

Support or "self-help" groups are formed by people who share common concerns. The groups may be participant-initiated or sponsored by a health care institution, social services agency or nonprofit organization.
A degenerative or terminal illness, or an accident involving a family member, is a traumatic experience for spouse, parents, children and other relatives. Support groups allow those facing the difficult task of daily caregiving to benefit from interaction and support from other people in similar situations.
A support group may work towards mutual problem-solving, coping, dealing with grief and sharing information. Some communities have a network of established support groups; others may have few or none. The following guidelines will assist family members or caregivers interested in forming a support group.
The group must determine certain procedural and philosophical matters, including:

Rated 5 out of 5 by Curly Comfortable Top This top washed and dried well...no touch up ironing needed. The weight is good and felt good on. I haven't had it long enough to wear in warm weather so don't know how it will work for those days yet. Comfortable to wear and I'm happy with the purchase. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tabor Basic But Beautiful The fabric, colors, style and fit of this top are perfect. I just wish there were more colors, because the material is so lovely that these tops can be worn for many occasions, casual and dressed up for office, travel, or out to dinner. I would like a dark teal blue and maybe a silver/pewter gray. The neckline is graceful without showing bra straps and without revealing too much of my scarred old chest. I also like this length of sleeve, which protects against sun, doesn't cut off at an unbecoming line, and yet gives summer breathing room. This is a summer basic item for me, and I reach for one of my four almost daily, always with a smile knowing I will feel just fine in it. June 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JeanneH I purchased these tees to go with a skirt. Nicely made and colors were true. The size runs larger than expected. Good quality for the money July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by yllwrse These are nice tees, well made and nice weight material. Run slightly large. I like this tee so well I have bought them in four colors. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bluebaby Great wardrobe basic Nice weight tee, definitely not see through. I wear 3/4 sleeves year round so this was perfect for me. Travel Smith does not disappoint with these tees. Wash and wear. They do run a bit full through the hips but I don't care for tight tops so once again they are perfect for me. Buy, wear and enjoy! I purchased the white and green and will probably purchase several more. The lower neck lends itself to some fun jewelry. Nice pants or long skirt and you are ready to go lots of places. March 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by PaddlesUp love this shirt Cut is flattering, fabric is a nice weight and quality -- I ordered 3, and will get more colors as they come out! Please make a bright sky blue, and a periwinkle blue! August 23, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by STCO Very useful and comfortable I bought several of these shirts in different colors - loved that there were so many to chose from. A very useful shirt. Sleeve length provides sun cover without being too hot. The neckline is cut well - it has shape and style and still offers coverage for active sightseeing, wrestling with luggage, etc. Looks great with a pair of jeans and can be dresses up rather well with a cardigan or big shirt, or belted with a skirt. Fabric is a nice weight, not too clingy and washes well, though because it is a bit heavier allow some extra time to dry when washed out in the sink and hung in your hotel bathroom. June 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WJMR Comfortable and easy for travel This is a great top. Whether wearing it alone or layering it, it fits well and is most comfortable. November 12, 2015

Beautiful pie - great video - LMAO watching you with the spatupeel. Does she have a name yet?Cold dough leopoards up nice, doesn't it.
.... About 70 seconds.....
THAT MACHINE ROCKS!Spatchupil must go. You'll need a long handled scraper or wire brush, too.
Congrats! and the pie looks stellar.
Congrats John! Looks like you are going to have a lot of fun with that beauty. Norma
Congrats John K! Very nice oven. I hope we see a lot of pies come out of this thing. chau
Hey all, I figured that while this thread is up and running, and showing the quality differences between the 2 stone and the blackstone, I have a full 2 stone, that is in excellent condition up for sale. As you can see it makes a wonderful pizza. If you are interested in more information, please drop me a PM. Thanks -Marc
Congrats on the oven John! I have the 2stone Inferno and use it all the time. I've found that a pizza peel with a 20" handle and a 13" width works really well. I have the GI. Metal A-32R/50.
My kids love it. Wife, not so much, yet.
Same holds true for my oven as well. Except for the 'yet' part anyway. I'm pretty sure that day will never come.

Advanced practice nurses use role modelling, teaching, clinical problem solving and change facilitation to promote evidence-based practice among clinical staff nurses

Implications for practice and research
■ Advanced practice nurses (APNs) can play a critical role in facilitating evidence-based practice (EBP).
■ Knowledge brokering (KB) is a key aspect of the APN role which can be leveraged to promote EBP.
■ KB requires specific knowledge and skills.
■ The effect of APNs on EBP implementation by clinical (staff) nurses and on clinical outcomes needs further exploration/measurement.
The barriers and organisational constraints related to EBP have been well described.1 2 Recently, the literature has focused on factors that facilitate EBP.3 4 The context of nursing practice settings has emerged as …

Skip to comments.Beck Breaks Down Secret Service Missteps and Wonders if They're Actually "Set-ups"
Posted on 04/16/2012 9:16:35 PM PDT by RedMominBlueState
A set up?
An incredulous Beck asked if anyone had ever seen the Secret Service conduct itself this way before.
Being dismissed for an alleged tryst with with prostitutes in Cartagena; carelessly plotting out routes in foreign countries that compromise the presidential motorcade; approving risk-laden locations for foreign stop-overs.
None of the above bodes well for those entrusted with protecting Americas Commander in Chief.
After a careful review of these transgressions, Beck came to the conclusion that there can only be two explanations and each one spells trouble. Either the Secret Service is a motley crew of inept morons ...or it comprises corrupt individuals who do not take the role seriously.
Beck allowed for another possible scenario in which the Secret Service is indeed the upstanding, capable agency it has always been purported to be. In this case, we may be in even more danger, as it would mean they are being set up, according to Beck.
If Russia still harbored the desire to bring down the United States, according to Beck, they would likely do so through subtle subversion. The country would pressure us from the outside and attempt to discredit our most trusted institutions the military and the Secret Service.
Beck reminded that while the recent story of Anna Chapman, the Russian spy, was laughed off in the media and the threat level she posed downplayed by the administration, reports surfaced claiming she was in fact gaining entry to the upper echelons of the Obama White House.
He posited that, if an enemy be it domestic or foreign (Russia) wanted to undermine the credibility of our nations protectors, they would seek to destabilize and subvert those very people.
Whatever the reason, whatever the source, Americas elite institutions are being compromised and and humiliated....
(Excerpt) Read more at theblaze.com ...
JFK was banging a gangster's moll and we are to believe "it's just sex" but some agents hook up with sex workers in a country wear it is legal and suddenly there is scandal.
What happened to the Clinton defenders on the Left?
Would there be as much controversy if they'd been homosexual agents hiring studs rather than women?
I'd vote for moron. Ever deal with a gov't agency?
Beck may be on to something with his theory that this may be part of a campaign to demoralize those charged with protecting the United States....
They have all been compromised to the extreme.
The treachery of 0bama goes unchallenged.
We're now living under an Oligarchy.
With a vote of no confidence in our secret service and military dictator Obummer could install his own Brown SS crew. His own protector force. This is what he said he wanted in 2008.
0bama may be trying to purge any organization dealing with the security of the US. He will try installing his own crew...
Maybe today's Secret Service hold even more contempt for the sitting president than they did when LBJ would p!ss on the agents shoes, literally.
I can easily believe a set up or something else fishy in this case. One or two bad apples is one thing, but 11 secret service agents and five special forces members all involved? I don't think so.
Obama's needs something like a Reichstag Fire to regain the sympathy of the Sheeple.
Don't even THINK that would be above the Socialist Whackos we currently have in the White Hut and Cabinet.
With a vote of no confidence in our secret service and military dictator Obummer could install his own Brown SS crew. His own protector force. This is what he said he wanted in 2008.
It's like 1933 Germany.
It's not just the Secret Service that has been compromised, it's the Oval Office itself.
Barack Hussein Obama would not pass the security clearance background checks to work in the White House.
Mystery solved..
Agent was too drunk to recognize Hillary
"Hillary was 'three sheets to the wind'" Shocking.
"Hillary left the club with the group of girls," a source said. "I can't believe this happened."
It sure seems these guys are being railroaded. It's like Zimmerman, except a dozen Zimmermans, who aren't in any stretch of anyone on the planet's "wannabes", who pretty much are the most professional organization on the planet.
Acting suddenly, AS A GROUP, like a second string drunken fraternity on Saturday night???
I am HIGHLY suspicious of the scandal. Our premier law enforcement guys and ladies anywhere. Suddenly and collectively lose their minds?
Just plain, not one bit likely IMO.
Something's rotten, smelly and corrupt in Chicago.
Quite possible this is a demoralization tactic at the behest of Obama and his handlers. Now the SS can join the ranks of the military who've gone 'pink slippers' on us. It's sad there are so many bimbo 20-something's who still think Obama is wonderful. The lame stream media will ensure they keep thinking that way.
Glenn's back on drugs. giggity
A third possibility: that the administration will do whatever it wants to do, and if anything goes wrong the Service will be the scapegoat.
Its not just the Secret Service that has been compromised,
The highest levels of Defense and Intelligence.
I should have been specific.
There have been Communist sympathizers in the State Department and US military since the 1940s. There are still disloyal persons in their ranks. Now we have Islamic imperialists there too.
A scary scenario!
I was much more content with the other theory floated, that the SS is beset by low morale and can not STAND Obama, thus the great drunk and decadent behaviour.
Conspiracy theories abound, but it is highly unusual for so many to fall over the course of ONE night, the same night, and that military figures reportedly were likewise engaged.
Just weird, en' masse like that.
Coup comes to mind. I think that's what we've been seeing all along and this is part of firming it all up.
Another possibility is that somehow, some way, the Secret Service became aware of what Obama is and juuust might not be willing to sacrifice themselves for the Bamster.
My hope is that he is found not eligible - and son!
Saw an elderly gentleman on the news today who stated that he tried to blow the whistle on this type of behavior when he was Secret Service. He was fired. He said that it's been going on for years.
Where did you see this?
I was wondering today as I was on a 2 1/2 hr drive between one city and another....what the "ell has Hillary actually accomplished as Sec of State?????
I can't think of anything. She flies all over the world treated as if she's extremely important - which I'm sure she absolutely requires - but results??? Was appointing her SOS the price of shutting her up? More mind boggling implications for the fraud in the WH.
It could be that Russia has a friend in the White House, and to keep him free to sabotage the US, he has to have incompetent Secret Service agents, people who lack the intelligence to know what is going on, or the integrity to care.
It's just a theory. Maybe they were all drugged with massive doses of Viagra, including Hillary.
Correct. But he could never disarm America. Thank God for the NRA. Gun toting America will not be put down.
That's right.
The SS was moved from being under Treasury to being under Homeland inSecurity. Look at TSA in terms of corruption and unethical sexual abuse of the children, handicapped and elderly.
Homeland Security is an all powerful, corrupt domestic police and spy organization. It is going to get much worse before it gets better.
Subtle subversion?
These writers of these types of articles must think Americans are really stupid.
Subtle subversion like upwards of tens of millions entering the country illegally during war time?
While demanding Americans citizens abide by all laws and regulations, government winks and nods, offering tax paid incentives, rewards and prizes to illegal aliens?
Turning our system on it's ear by bailing out the corrupt fat corps and banks, flooding the country with trillions of increasingly less valuable cash?
Encouraging tens of hundreds of thousands of jobs/businesses to head to Communist China?
Growing the size of government to the point where it wants to control/fine,tax, or outlaw everything citizens/businesses do?
The author of this seems to be a no-nothing naive Pollyanna.
Or is it possible Americans can be this stupid?
0bama is going to see to it that he is surrounded by stooges who will "See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil."
0bama is seeing to it that he is surrounded by stooges who will See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.
Sgt Friday, I'm choosing "know-nothing naive Pollyanna".
With a vote of no confidence in our secret service and military dictator 0bummer could install his own Brown SS crew. His own protector force. This is what he said he wanted in 2008.
An all democrat crew could be a pretty nasty thing..
Democrats have loose morals.. proudly in most cases..
Since sexcapades by several Secret Service agents while in Columbia have been discovered due to refusal to pay a mere 47 USD, it is important for Congress to as the following question:
What have been the sexcapades by several Secret Service agents while in ALL OF THE COUNTRIES that Obama has visited in the last 3 + years?
BTW, a follow up question might be: What % of these prostitutes were spies for foreign governments?
Heard on a program tonight, the SS used to be in the Treasury Dept. and there were high standards - now, it's under Homeland Security - no wonder they have mightly fallen.
BTW, a follow up question might be: What % of these prostitutes were spies for foreign governments?
That no longer matters. The top people in government are traitors.
THE top one is also "flexible," so he says.
BTW, that is not something that real men want other people to know about.
For me, the bloom went of the Secret Service rose back when they covered up the crimes and misdemeanors of our ex-DIRTPOTUS Bubba Clinton.
I don't find it surprising at all that their morale is in the crapper, that their professionalism is down there with it, and I suspect quite strongly that the most favored agents are now among those I would be tempted to distrust the most.
I would think that to be a good bodyguard you have to be able to respect the person you're protecting. I think Obama would make that very hard to do.
"Would there be as much controversy if theyd been homosexual agents hiring studs rather than women?"
Nope. We would never have heard about it.
America as we have known it, no longer exists.
I am a prepper - I hope you are.
0bama is going to see to it that he is surrounded by stooges who will See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.
He's consolidating his power and surrounding himself with people who are loyal only to himself.
We've lost the Republic. We'll see if we ever get it back.
Men don't need Viagra to get all hot and bothered by legal snatch viewing and screwing. Nothing to see here move along.
Another vote for moronic ineptitude from individuals working for the government.
It would be easy to do. Just hire some girls, send them to the agent's rooms and tell them to wait.
When the agents throw them out, the girls would demand payment. The girls will want to get paid, whether they did anything for the money or not.
Hard to know the truth.
.......you're right.

Topic: Polymorphic associations don't get saved
I try to implement a polymorphic association. Everything seems to work, besides that the associated object dont't get saved.
Here's my simple code:
Simple Person Class
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :address_links, :as => :addressable, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :addresses, :through => :address_links
The Linkmodel
class AddressLink < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :address
belongs_to :addressable, :polymorphic => true
the polymorphic class
class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :address_type
has_many :address_links
I submit a new person and an address to the 'create' action in my person_controller:
def create
@person = Person.new(params[:person])
@address = Address.new(params[:address])
@person.addresses << @address
@ok = @person.save ? true : false
Everything seems alright. I checked the view, I checked the database. @address contains the attributes I submitted via my form, even @person.addresses contains the correct address. @person.save returns true. The adresse just never appears in the database.
Where's my mistake?

Nearly 40 percent of teachers missed more than 10 days of school in 2009-10. Districts spent at least $4 billion to hire subs.
"Every 10 absences lowers average mathematics achievement equivalent to the difference between having a novice teacher and one with a bit more experience," Raegen Miller, the report's author, writes, citing a 2008 study.
Teachers who work in high-poverty and high-minority schools are absent more often, CAP reports."It's plausible that achievement gaps can be attributed, in part, to a teacher attendance gap," writes Miller.
In New Jersey's Camden City Public Schools, a district that has struggled with poverty and poor test scores, up to 40 percent of teachers are absent on any given school day, a figure that has forced the district to hire a private substitute-teacher agency to help ensure there's an adult in each classroom.
Not surprisingly, the more paid sick leave teachers get, the more they use. The report recommends giving teachers at least seven paid sick days per year, but limiting excused absences and using incentives to discourage "frivolous" use of paid leave.

Norma,Can you tell me what flours you have on hand, particularly unbromated flours?Do you plan to follow-up on the Whirl and McCormick products?Peter
Norma,Can you tell me how much Power flour you have left, and also what bromated flours you have on hand?Peter
Norma,As you may recall, I have been using a range of 13.4-13.6% as the range of protein values for the flour blend that I believe Papa Johns has been using. Since I have not discussed how I came up with this range before, this is perhaps as good a place as any to discuss this matter.If you go to Reply 493 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6758.msg260046/topicseen.html#msg260046, you will see the most current ingredients list for Papa Johns dough. You will also see that the first three ingredients are wheat flour (unbleached), malted barley flour, and wheat starch. Wheat starch is a wheat-derived product that is often used for its blending qualities. Also, when used in a baked goods product, it will provide added tenderness to that product. But one of the most important things to know about wheat starch is that it is about 86-88% carbohydrates (see the Nutrition Facts at https://store.nexternal.com/cbfi2000/storefront/wheat-starch-p14.aspx). What that means is that if a portion of a given fixed sample (e.g., a 100-gram sample) of flour is replaced by wheat starch, that will dilute the protein content of the flour and reduce its protein content. I believe that PJ starts out with a fairly high protein, high-gluten flour and replaces part of it with wheat starch to lower the protein content, and at the same time help with the mixing of the dough and add a bit more tenderness to the finished crust. From a quantitative standpoint, the amount of wheat starch need not be great. Since federal law (see http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=137.105) says that if barley malted flour is to be used it cannot exceed 0.75%, and since the wheat starch is listed next to the malted barley flour, that means that the amount of wheat starch will be less than 0.75%. I dont know what specific base flour PJ is using or the amount of malted barley flour it is using but if we assume a base flour with a protein content of around 14-14.2%, which is the type of hard wheat flour that ConAgra mills in its Decatur, Alabama mill, malted barley flour at 0.75%, and wheat starch at just below 0.75%, the effect of the wheat starch will be to reduce the protein content of the blend to around 13.4-13.6%. Even if we are off by a fraction of a percent, I do not think the difference will be noticeable in the finished product. With the above as background, the best flour of the flours you mentioned to use for the PJ clone Cheesesticks is the Power flour. That flour falls within the above protein range and it is unbromated. Unfortunately, you do not have enough of that flour for the dough formulation (reproduced below) that you will be using. I could perhaps come up with a three-flour blend that would use up your remaining Power flour, but I would prefer to avoid the added layer of math complexity to do that, even if it means having to use a bromated flour. All of the other unbromated flours you mentioned (Mondako, KABF, KAAP and Better for Bread) are too low in protein content and would have to be supplemented with vital wheat gluten. I would also like to avoid that approach at this point. Instead, I would rather use the All Trumps flour to raise the protein content of such flours. And, likewise for the bromated Occident flour.Having played around with the flours that you have or will soon have, and using the Mixed Mass Percentage Calculator at http://foodsim.toastguard.com/, here are some possible flour blends:63.16 grams (2.23 ounces) Mondako (11.9% protein) and 178.95 grams (6.31 ounces) All Trumps (14.2% protein)58.11 grams (2.05 ounces) KABF (11.7% protein) and 184 grams (6.49 ounces) All Trumps (14.2% protein)72.63 grams (2.56 ounces) Occident (12.2% protein) and 169.48 grams (5.98 ounces) All Trumps (14.2% protein)All of the above blends should have a final protein content of 13.6%. Since you have worked extensively with the above flours and know how they behave and perform, I will leave to you to decide which of the blends to use for your next experiment. It is also possible to come up with other blends if you so wish. Here is the recommended dough formulation:Flour Blend* (100%):Water (56%):IDY (0.45%):Salt (1.9%):Vegetable (Soybean) Oil (5.55%):Sugar (5.89%):Total (169.79%):242.11 g | 8.54 oz | 0.53 lbs135.58 g | 4.78 oz | 0.3 lbs1.09 g | 0.04 oz | 0 lbs | 0.36 tsp | 0.12 tbsp4.6 g | 0.16 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.82 tsp | 0.27 tbsp13.44 g | 0.47 oz | 0.03 lbs | 2.96 tsp | 0.99 tbsp14.26 g | 0.5 oz | 0.03 lbs | 3.58 tsp | 1.19 tbsp411.08 g | 14.5 oz | 0.91 lbs | TF = N/A*The Flour Blend should have a protein content of 13.4-13.6%Note: The dough ball weight is the same as used for a 12" pizza; the corresponding thickness factor = 0.12821; no bowl residue compensationFor the clone garlic sauce you plan to use, you should use 2 ounces, by weight, on the 12 skin, as was discussed earlier in this thread.Peter
Norma,Thank you for catching the link problem with Reply 493. I composed the post in Word because of its complexity, and I tested the link in the Preview mode to be sure it worked, but somehow a comma got in front of a tag. I have corrected the link. I agree that wheat starch is an interesting ingredient. And it took me a while to note its significance. What is nice about wheat starch is that it is a fairly pure and neutral product. It is mostly carbohydrates as I mentioned but it has almost no fat, no sugars, no dietary fiber, almost no vitamins or minerals, and minuscule amounts of sodium and protein. The Nutrition Facts do not indicate water content, so I assume that the difference between 86-88% and 100% is largely water. For our purposes, I looked for flours that are in the desired protein range that do not have wheat starch as an ingredient. I believe that the primary ingredients that contribute to crust tenderness are the large amounts of sugar and oil, as you noted. The wheat starch quantity would supplement that but not materially. Maybe some day we will learn exactly why PJ uses it. As for your garlic clone sauce, you should use your best judgment based on the results of your last experiment. However, if you don't mind, when you decide to use one of the PJ Garlic sauce mini-tubs, would you mind converting the contents of the mini-tub to a volume measurement, using standard measuring spoons? And if you can weigh the mini-tub before using the contents and also weigh the mini-tub container itself after it has been rinsed out, that would also be helpful. These measurements might confirm some our numbers and help us zero in more closely on how much Garlic sauce PJ uses to make its Cheesesticks.Peter
Norma,To answer you question about the use of wheat starch, I have not done much in the way of research to see the extent of its use in pizza doughs. However, I vaguely recalled that Domino's was using wheat starch in one or more of its doughs. I found the Domino's ingredients list at http://cache.dominos.com/homev8/docs/menu/dominos_nutrition_v2.21.00.pdf. From that list, you can see at page four that the dough for Domino's hand tossed crust includes wheat starch. Thank you for the ingredients list for the Admiration Pan-Whiz product. As I was getting ready to ask you for that information, I saw that you were referencing the document containing that information. From the ingredients list, I see several components that are used or are similar to those used in the PJ Garlic sauce. I believe that the Admiration Pan-Whiz ingredients list means to recite that the soybean oil is partially hydrogenated but, apart from that, it is quite possible that Admiration is using much more soybean oil than PJ uses. I come to this conclusion because one ounce of the Pan-Whiz product contains 28 grams of Total Fat. A one ounce mini-tub of the PJ Garlic sauce contains 17 grams of Total Fat. Also, whereas the PJ Garlic sauce contains water, the Pan-Whiz product does not. That perhaps explains why the Pan-Whiz product does not contain emulsifiers such as mono- and diglycerides. Emulsifiers are required in the PJ Garlic sauce to bind the water and oils together. Other similarities between the Pan-Whiz and PJ Garlic sauce include the use of salt, lecithin, butter flavor, color through the use of beta carotene, and a flavor protector. The only way to know how effective the Pan-Whiz product is as sauce for cheesesticks is to give it a try. However, if the objective is to try to morph the Pan-Whiz product into a clone of the PJ Garlic sauce, I believe that there are better ways of doing it. But since you started this thread to come up with a non-clone of the PJ Garlic sauce, you are free to exercise discretion as to the use of the Pan-Whiz product in its own right as a sauce for cheesesticks.Peter
Norma,As I see it, there are essentially two ways to create a garlic sauce that tastes like the PJ Garlic sauce. The first way, which is the premise of this thread, is to look at various products that contain butter-like flavors and combine them with sources of garlic flavor. The butter and garlic flavors can take many different forms. For example, they can be real flavors or artificial flavors, or even a combination of real and artificial flavors. Usually, there will be a carrier for such flavors, such as an oil (hydrogenated or not) along with other ingredients that are commonly found in margarine products. Since many of these products do not contain the same ingredients as the PJ Garlic sauce, they have to be tested to see if their flavors approximate the flavors of the PJ Garlic sauce. This can be a hit or miss proposition. Examples of products in this category include the Whirl product and the Pan-Whiz product. They have to be tested to see if they meet your needs.The second way of creating a garlic sauce that tastes like the PJ Garlic sauce is to try to clone that sauce. That means trying to find and combine the same types of ingredients as are used in the PJ Garlic sauce and hope that you get the same flavors. This approach is the one that was described in the PJ clone thread, with an example being discussed at Reply 552 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6758.msg260974.html#msg260974. For that specific example, the Parkay Squeeze margarine product, a butter flavor such as imparted by the McCormick product that you hope to receive, and dry garlic powder would be combined and tested to see if the final product tastes like the PJ Garlic sauce, or possibly even better. There is no reason why both methods can't be tried, either serially or in parallel. It comes down to how much effort you are willing to devote to the project.I am familiar with the J.O.Y. company and its products. I first became aware of that company in May of 2008. As best I can tell, Papa John's used J.O.Y. to extend its product line to include frozen pizzas sold to schools and other end users under the Papa John name. Those products are not included at the PJ website. And you will not find any Nutrition Facts for the frozen pizzas at the PJ website. I suspect that PJ is no longer offering those products. A few years after I first learned of J.O.Y., I tried to revisit the J.O.Y website only to find that the website no longer existed. Tonight I found a website link for J.O.Y. at http://www.texaswomenventures.com/portfolio-company-3-j-o-y-foods-inc-current.aspx, but when I clicked on the link, it was dead. I think you can stick a fork into this one. Peter
Norma,In my original research on the PJ dough, I noted that in its promotional materials PJ went from describing its flour as a "high gluten" flour to a "high protein" flour. I took that to mean that either PJ had changed its flour or it was trying to conceal the protein content of the actual flour used. Also as part of my research, I found two earlier versions of the PJ pizza dough, one in about 2001 and the other in about 2003. The circa 2001 version was this one:Pizza Dough: Bleached, enriched wheat flour (niacin, iron (reduced), thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), malted barley flour, clear filtered water, sugar, soybean oil, salt, yeast, inactive dried yeast, ascorbic acid, (added as dough conditioner), enzymes. (https://home.comcast.net/~tfcozzo/food/PapaJohns.htm)The circa 2003 version was as follows:Pizza Dough: Unbleached, enriched flour (niacin, iron (reduced), thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), malted barley flour, clear filtered water, sugar, soybean oil, salt, yeast, ascorbic acid, (added as dough conditioner), enzymes.Fortunately, I had printed out the circa 2003 version because the link for that version, from a vegan forum, is now dead. You will note the absence of wheat starch in the above two versions. The wheat starch as an ingredient emerged sometime around 2008, when I received information from PJ on its products. You will also note that the circa 2001 version included inactive dry yeast. I believe that the inactive dry yeast was dead yeast, or glutathione. The circa 2003 version mentions only yeast, not inactive dry yeast. I think you will find the use of wheat starch in other pizza products, including frozen pizzas. Peter
Norma,As you can see from the current Pizza Dough ingredients set forth below, not a great deal changed from around 2003:Pizza Dough: Unbleached enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, wheat starch, ascorbic acid, enzyme, niacin, iron as ferrous sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), water, sugar, soybean oil, salt, yeast [fungal or bacterial derivatives NO animal derivatives]. No trans fat.For some reason, the amount of enzymes were increased (it is higher up in the ingredients list). Maybe it was because of the addition of the wheat starch or possibly a reduction in the amount of damaged starch. Since the inactive dried yeast in the circa 2001 PJ pizza dough was pretty far down the list, it might have added some flavor to the finished crust but if PJ was using a high gluten flour at the time, it might also have also served to relax the dough in case it was prone to "buckiness". Tom Lehmann discussed various dough relaxers, including dead yeast/glutathione, at the PMQ Think Tank at http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4311&p=23405&hilit=#p23405. For our purposes, the use of dead yeast is moot since it apparently is no longer being used in the current PJ pizza dough. Peter

Life-Changing Animals
Giving an animal is like giving someone a small business, providing wool, milk, eggs and more. Animal donations can provide families a hand up, increasing access to medicine, school, food and a sustainable livelihood.
The group purchased a goat, heifer, camel, water buffalo, llama, sheep, pig, fish, rabbits, honeybees, ducks, chicks, geese and an animal welfare kit.
Provide Basic Needs
In some of the world's most impoverished countries, obtaining basic necessities like clean water and shelter is a daily struggle. Help families improve their lives with gifts that improve sanitation, health and access to clean water.
Students decided to purchase fresh water pumps, a family nutrition kit and building materials for shelter.
Support Sustainable Farming
We believe that caring for the Earth is vital to ending hunger and poverty, whether it's through reforestation, organic gardening or adoption of fuels that reduce the ill effects to the environment. Help families care for their environment with your sustainable gift.
Water irrigation pumps, as well as plants and seeds for harvesting, were selected.

The kicking competition was on again Thursday. Mason Crosby had a great day connecting on all five of his field goal attempts, while Giorgio Tavecchio hit on five of six attempts. So far Crosby is 9-for-11 in camp on field goals, while his challenger Tavecchio is 10-for-12.
As far as the rest of practice, McCarthy was not happy with the amount of times the ball was hitting the ground and bad snaps were the majority of the problem. Don Barclay, who's also competing for the starting spot at right tackle, continues to struggle snapping the ball out of the shotgun. In the locker room Barclay said the last time he played center was his freshman year of college when he red-shirted, but said he wasn't opposed to playing the position.
A surprise to nobody, Aaron Rodgers continues to excel in the red zone portions of practice, both in 7-on-7's and team drills. In the 7-on-7 drill Rodgers connected with Jeremy Ross on a touchdown over the middle and in team he connected with tight end Ryan Taylor at the front pylon for another score. Backups B.J. Coleman and Graham Harrell were up in down in their production in the red zone. At one point, Coleman missed a toss to RB James Starks which drew the ire of the head coach. After practice McCarthy said "I don't think I've ever seen something like that. I thought it was careless, sloppy and what happens is it overshadows all the positive work that went on out there."
I had the chance to speak with tight end Matt Mulligan for the first time since the Packers signed him this offseason. He spoke about bringing a "lunch pale and hard hat" approach to the team. It's something the Packers were obviously looking for when they inked him to a deal, and he appears to be doing the job of bringing a big body and blocking approach to the group. He also spoke about the consistency that Jermichael Finely has shown as a leader of the TE group; we'll have more on the unusually mum Finley coming up on Local 5 at 6 & 10.
