It has been six years since the highly controversial Data Retention Directive (DRD) was adopted in the European Union. Conceived in the EU and steamrolled by powerful U.S. and U.K. government lobbies, this mass-surveillance law compels EU-based Internet service providers to collect and retain traffic data revealing who communicates with whom by email, phone, and SMS, including the duration of the communication and the locations of the users. This data is often made available to law enforcement. Europeans have widely criticized the DRD, and year after year, it has inspired some of the largest-ever street protests against excessive surveillance.
Nearly four months after first announcing it would support pseudonyms, Google rolled out changes to the account creation process for Google+ yesterday. The changes will allow users the option of choosing a nickname/alternate name to display in his or her Google+ profile, or choosing a pseudonym which is not linked a real name.
Nicknames address the needs of users who want to display the alternate name they may be known by, or a maiden name, as well as foreign-language users who want to use an alternate name. Users who select a nickname should note, however, that Google plans to roll out nicknames to other services, so that funny college nickname you use on Google+ might appear on your professional Picasa account one day.
Two years ago, the UK dismantled their national ID scheme and shredded their National Identity Registry in response to great public outcry over the privacy-invasive program. Unfortunately privacy protections have been less rosy elsewhere. In Argentina, the national ID fight was lost some time ago. A law enacted during the military dictatorship forced all individuals to obtain a government-mandated ID. Now, they are in the process of enhancing its mandatory National Registry of Persons (RENAPER) with biometric data such as fingerprints and digitized faces. The government plans to repurpose this database in order to facilitate "easy access" to law enforcement by merging this data into a new, security-focused integrated system. This raises the specter of mass surveillance, as Argentinean law enforcement will have access to mass repositories of citizen information and be able to leverage existing facial recognition and fingerprint matching technologies in order to identify any citizen anywhere.
As the year draws to a close, EFF is looking back at the major trends influencing digital rights in 2011 and discussing where we are in the fight for a free expression, innovation, fair use, and privacy.
Last week, a federal district court judge in Oregon raised eyebrows when he rejected claims that a self-proclaimed Internet investigative journalist did not enjoy the protections of the state's reporter's shield law in a defamation lawsuit brought against her by Kevin Padrick, an Oregon attorney who was one of the targets of her online postings.

I work as a nurse and wash my hand constantly. I've been looking for a good hand cream. This makes my skin so soft and silky. I love this!

Posted by ling76 on Jun 15, 2013
One of the best hand creams, the smell is amazing, smells like spa.. and it is very good as a moisturizer.
Absorbs quickly, nice scent
Posted by 5721723037030502665 on Aug 15, 2013
It says "mind: relaxing / body: nurturing" on the tube, and that describes this hand cream pretty well. It has a nice, calming scent that really reminds me of the Soothe Aromatic Mister from DropWise Essentials, and the cream itself feels nourishing and moisturizing. I also love the fact that it has no added fragrance or parabens, as I have very sensitive and reactive skin and try to shy away from possible irritants as much as possible. Recommended!
Posted by 4759936963730000431 on Dec 19, 2012
My hands skins are dry type. So everytime I bring the hands cream. In that point it is very usuful to me.
Simply the best handcream
Posted by Reviewer2769219 on Aug 10, 2016
I have tried many handcreams for my dry hands, actually I think I have tested most of them, and this is the best! It really moisturizes and makes hands smooth, it absorbs quickly, it feels natural and smells nice (not too much), it's not too oily or sticky, it does not contain anything bad. I really love it!!!
Didn't like the smell at first but the cream is FABULOUS
Posted by HiNewUsers4HelpClickHere on Oct 16, 2013
I'm still getting used to the smell of the tamanu (peppery?) in this but it's growing on me. However, the cream itself is one of the best I have come across. It is just right. Not too light or heavy. Sinks in well and leaves hands feeling great.
Good results, unusual smell/buenos resultados, olor inusual
Posted by 5lanvianvil on May 30, 2016
This hand cream is rich and RESTORATIVE. Unlike a lot of hand creams, this one REALLY REPAIRS dry/damaged skin, in fact, I've noticed a real improvement and my hands look better. The texture is surprising: at first, it looks like a heavy product, however is extremely easy to spread and slightly watery. After using it, my dry hands are comfortable and soft. Moreover, there is a huge list of good ingredients: aloe juice, cocoa butter, shea butter, sweet almond oil, tamanu oil, rose hip seed oil, red clover extract…all of them make it a nourishing cream. However, it isn't long lasting, I'm not crazy about the smell (which is unusual) and is a pricey product. Esta es una crema rica y nutritiva que a diferencia de muchas otras REALMENTE repara las manos secas o agrietadas, de hecho, he notado una visible mejora en las mías. Tiene una textura sorprendente: al principio parece muy densa, pero se extiende muy fácilmente y es ligeramente acuosa. Después de usarla, las manos quedan suaves y reparadas. Además cuenta con una lista enorme de ingredientes como aloe, mantecas como las de karité o cacao, aceites como el de tamanu o el de almendras dulces…que la hacen un producto muy nutritivo. Sin embargo, tiene un olor inusual que no me entusiasma, no dura demasiado y es un producto caro.

Bath ended their Heineken Cup campaign on a positive note after claiming a 23-18 victory over Glasgow at the Recreation Ground.
Bath ended their European campaign on a positive note as they defeated Glasgow Warriors 23-18 at the Rec.
Tries either side of half-time from Tom Biggs and Ben Skirving helped Bath to a narrow victory.
Glasgow took the lead in the third minute when Duncan Weir hit a penalty but their lead didn't last long, and by the end of the first quarter the visitors found themselves trailing by four points.
Bath gained the advantage on 12 minutes when Biggs intercepted a sloppy Glasgow pass on half-way and raced away to score. Olly Barkley added the conversion to make it 7-3 and though a second Weir penalty soon after reduced the hosts' lead to a point, Barkley's own penalty restored the four point cushion almost immediately.
Neither side troubled the scorers further before half-time, meaning Bath retained their narrow lead at the interval.
Bath extended their advantage minutes after the restart when a rolling maul laid the platform for Ben Skirving to touch down for a try which Barkley converted.
That left Glasgow needing points and they battled back admirably during the minutes that followed. On 54 minutes, Tommy Seymour crossed for the visitors' first try and ten minutes later they added a second, courtesy of Robert Harley, to take the lead. That made it 17-18 in favour of Glasgow but indiscipline would cost them the win.
Barkley was the man to kick Bath to victory, converting two penalties in the final ten minutes to seal a hard-fought win. Bath's unbeaten record at the Recreation Ground in 2012 continues, while Glasgow's hopes of maintaining an interest in Europe were shattered.
The scorers:
For Bath:
Tries: Biggs, Skriving
Con: Barkley 2
Pen: Barkley 3
For Glasgow:
Tries: Seymour, Harley
Con: Wight
Pen: Weir 2
Bath: 15 Jack Cuthbert, 14 Matt Carraro, 13 Olly Barkley, 12 Matt Banahan, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Chris Cook, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Guy Mercer, 6 Andrew Beattie, 5 Ryan Caldwell, 4 David Attwood, 3 David Wilson, 2 Pieter Dixon, 1 Charlie Beech.
Replacements: 16 Lee Mears, 17 David Flatman, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Francois Louw, 20 Simon Taylor, 21 Michael Claassens, 22 Tom Heathcote, 23 Sam Vesty.
Glasgow: 15 Rory Lamont, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Stuart Hogg, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Colin Shaw, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Chris Cusiter, 8 John Barclay, 7 Chris Fusaro, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock (capt), 4 Richie Gray, 3 Ed Kalman, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Jon Welsh.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Gordon Reid, 18 Ryan Grant, 19 Tom Ryder, 20 Henry Pyrgos, 21 Ryan Wilson, 22 Peter Murchie, 23 Scott Wight.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Ferron/Price Ranger District implemented a prescribed burn within the Ferron Creek drainage area located near Ferron Canyon Road between Willow Lake and Ferron Reservoir.
The burn started on June 28 and will continue until completed. Burn operations may resume the week of July 9. The burn is weather dependent and happens when conditions are favorable.
The burn was ignited by hand ignition and helitorch (aerial ignition). Helicopter activity will last approximately two days.
By burning under controlled conditions, effects of the fire can be managed. While the prescribed burn is taking place, the burn area will be closed to the public and there may be delays or temporary closures on Ferron Canyon Road, Forest Development Road (FDR) #022.
Traffic may be routed around to the South Side Road, FDR #043. Willow Lake Campground as well as Ferron Reservoir Campground will tentatively remain open for public camping and recreation during burn operations. However, heavy smoke conditions may be experienced at times.
Prescribed burns are used for a variety of resource benefits including improved wildlife habitat, reduced fuel buildup from insect killed trees, and to support ecosystem diversity.
Aspen is being lost by encroachment of conifers. Aspen stands provide critical habitat for many wildlife species, forage for livestock and wildlife, and to protect stream flows in critical watershed.
Aspen regenerates by sprouting following a controlled burn or other disturbance.
If you need further information visit www.utahfireinfo.gov or please contact the Ferron Ranger District at 435/384-2372.
As of Monday, the fire had burned close to 2,000 acres and is being contained and closely watched by US Forest Service workers as the fire burns itself out.

Assessment and Science
(Adopted by Council on April 27, 2001)
Science must be included in any mandated program of educational assessment. Science, well learned, is a requirement for the workforce of the 21st Century as well as for informed citizenship. Further, it is well documented that assessment influences what is taught, both in terms of hours spent and in the nature of classroom activity.
Any testing or assessment should be designed so that it not only encourages time spent on science but also motivates teaching methods that recognize that science is more than a body of facts. Students must also learn the methods of observation and experimentation and the modes of thinking that are used to discover and test scientific knowledge.

Skip to comments.Conservatives to Cruz: 'Run, Ted, run'
Posted on 09/02/2013 8:48:13 AM PDT by SoConPubbie
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was met with enthusiastic cheers from an "adoring" audience during his address at a conservative summit on Saturday, the friendliest of any of the potential 2016 presidential hopefuls to speak at the Defending the Dream summit.
The event, hosted by Americans for Prosperity, drew a handful of other conservative stars and would-be presidential contenders: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R ) and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R ) all spoke.
But according to The Washington Post, none received so warm a welcome as Cruz. He was met with chants of "Run, Ted, run!" after giving a speech focused largely on the imperative of defunding ObamaCare, a cause which he and a handful of other conservatives in the Senate have championed in recent weeks.
Cruz slammed fellow Republicans who have criticized the push as potentially politically harmful and pledged not to back down from a threat to shut down the government if the law is not defunded.
Right now, the people who are fighting the hardest against our effort to defund Obamacare are sadly Republican, he said. Over and over again, they say, We cant win this fight. Well, you know you lose 100 percent of the fights that you surrender at the outset.
Cruz has fast emerged as a darling of the conservative movement, taking a place somewhat lost by Rubio after the Florida senator took the lead on immigration reform, drawing him criticism from conservatives and leading to a drop in many national polls of the 2016 GOP presidential landscape.
Indeed, Rubio's reception at the same summit on Friday was decidedly less enthusiastic. Though he received cheers for parts of his speech, he was also heckled over immigration reform with shouts of "No amnesty!" from the crowd.
In contrast, Cruz took the stage to a sustained standing ovation and exited to calls for him to run for president.
Ted Cruz Ping!
While Mr. Cruz has appealing qualities, I am concerned about his eligibility to be president.
Indeed, as am I. Wonderful man, excellent senator. Stay, Ted, Stay! Stay in the senate! We worked very hard to get you in there - which is why the RINOs want to take you away from us.
Democrats don`t care where candidates are born.
Ted Cruz is a natural born CITIZEN and Patriot!
I always get the impression, when listening to his speeches, that he has perfected a style of contrived sincerity.,
Fortunately or not that law was resolved against your position
"Republicans don`t care where candidates are born."
I fixed that for you!
MEGA DITTOS TO THAT!He "Says What He Means"(and he MEANS what he says)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Please show me in the US Constitution the relevant parts that define "Natural Born" as requiring 2 citizen parents?"
The US Constitution explicitly distinguishes between the natural born citizens and those born outside of the united states who become citizens. Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution.
Why did the Fathers include this? They included this because they wanted to be sure that the highest office in the land was someone who was free of entanglements and was loyal to the united states, in an empirical fashion that would not change. You can purchase and acquire citizenship - where you are born cannot change.
Cruz was born in Canada. He does not have an American birth certificate. He has a Canadian birth certificate, a Canadian passport and he is a natural born Canadian citizenship, acquired from birth in Calgary Alberta.
Thus, he falls afoul of Article II section 1 of the US constitution. He is not eligible.
Andrew Jackson`s parents were born in Ireland.
Thomas Jefferson`s mother was born in London.
I'm sure the Democrats are thinking the same thing digging too as they dig nto their law books and figuring every avenue to challenge his eligibility. Make no mistake they fear Cruz more than anyone else on the GOP side and will use any means necessary to take him off the table as a presidential candidate.
I see I have opened a can of worms, but he was born in Canada and one of his parents was born in Cuba.
I have a feeling that if he was a liberal Democrat, many here would be banging the, "He is not eligible" drum.
It's important to have consistent standards.
Run, Ted, Run!!
"I have a feeling that if he was a liberal Democrat, many here would be banging the, He is not eligible drum."
Indeed. I share the exact same opinion. It's ok because it's Cruz. No, it's not ok.
I'm concerned that the GOP-e RINOs are going to let our country be flushed down the drain!!
The time to rebel against politics as usual is NOW!!
Let McCain/Romney be the end of the GOP-e loser RINO train!!
Go, tea party rebellion!!
Run, Cruz, RUN!!
They did....so tell me where Ted violates this or kindly politely and with all due respect STFU.
no, and see post 19 if you can't figure it out on your own.....
He's a Canadian citizen, was born in Canada. Has a Canadian passport.
If he were a liberal, you'd consider him ineligible.
It's past time concern troll birthers start getting zotted
It's important that we support a CONSERVATIVE like Cruz who is pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious freedom, pro-gun, pro-drilling, pro-constitutionally limited small government, pro-individual liberty, pro-states rights, pro-defense, pro-border security, pro-America, anti-big government, anti-ObamaCare, anti-AMNESTY, anti-IRS, anti-income tax, anti-EPA, anti-abortion, anti-homo marriage, anti-socialism, anti-liberalism, anti-RINOism.
That's Cruz and he has the grassroots tea party support. And he has my support. He fits the bill perfectly to head up our tea party rebellion!!
And sorry, ma'am, but he's an AMERICAN in every sense of the word and infinitely more so than Obama or Hillary or any bought and paid for RINO that Tokyo Rove and the GOP-e can dredge up!!
Eff the RINOS!! Eff the left!!
Rebellion is ON!!
Run, Ted, RUN!!
But he isn't a liberal. He's the most conservative prospect that we've had since the 1980's. So if the libs can get away with this crap by electing Obama, then I'm all for fighting to get Cruz elected. Anything else is a unilateral surrender, something the GOP does way too often.
Wrong! He's an AMERICAN!!
this was held in Orlando FLA
JCBreckenridge: "Its ok because its Cruz. No, its not ok."
Agreed. Born in another country to parents who are not both citizens? How could that be considered natural born? So if a Saudi prince takes an American wife and has children born in Saudi Arabia, they are "natural born" Americans? That sounds like complete nonsense to me.
"the libs can get away with this crap by electing Obama, then Im all for fighting to get Cruz elected"
I thought we were conservatives and not liberals. Guess I thought wrong. Liberals justify it because they believe that power trumps principles. Doing the right thing - in the end - will benefit us far more.
Here's what I see happening. RINOs will entice Cruz to run. Then they backstab him during his presidential campaign. Cruz loses - Liberals install a D in his seat. We lose the Senate, House and the presidency.
How does this help us?
C. Edmund Wright: "and with all due respect STFU."
Very civil of you.
His mother was an American citizen. Cruz is an American citizen by birth. A natural born American citizen!!
Damn the naysayers and the RINOs they ride in on, full steam ahead!!
Rebellion is ON!! Join or perish!!
Conservatives MUST get behind one candidate. We can win if we choose and promote one from the beginning and don't waver. Having 6-7 semi conservatives to split us up is what killed us last time.(Last several elections)
We need to decide NOW and be vocal and run over the GOPe.
I hope Ted runs, and I hope he makes the decision early and that other conservatives get behind him and we stop the tearing down and splitting up. We can WIN if we are united!
We also need to meantime be primarying every stinking RINO we possibly can in House and Senate, beginning with John Boehner. I HOPE we can find a conservative to run against him!
"Agreed. Born in another country to parents who are not both citizens? How could that be considered natural born? So if a Saudi prince takes an American wife and has children born in Saudi Arabia, they are natural born Americans? That sounds like complete nonsense to me."
Yes, this is the exact standard that apparently is 'good enough'. You share my precise concerns.
Why have a citizen at all? Why have a residency requirement? Because the constitution says so?
We have been told that 'slippery slope is a fallacy. I recall, less than 10 years ago being told that sex education for kindergartners was a myth. Now, today, it is a reality. We open the doors to this - we'll see the floodgates opened. Where Americans are governed not by one of their own but by a foreigner who's never set foot in America. We had that once before - in King George.
Well stated. And factual.
Check into it.
Ted Cruz - 2016
I prefer Palin for Prez., Cruz for Senate Leader.
"I hope Ted runs, and I hope he makes the decision early and that other conservatives get behind him and we stop the tearing down and splitting up."
I hope a candidate who is eligible runs and we can all get behind him. Last time, IIRC - everyone was upset that Palin didn't run and then rather than voting for the most conservative candidate on the ballot decided to hold out. It was a disappointment.
We needed unity and we had a candidate who proved he could beat Romney. Too little too late. Now we're supposed to get behind a fantastic conservative senator who happens to be ineligible. We lose on that issue and lose the presidency and then what do we get for it?
"What kind of drugs are you taking anyway?"
Such civility!
Would I vote for him? Probably. Do I think he's a natural born citizen? No, but I'm sure there will be plenty of legal arguments both for and against.
Certainly you can see why some of us take issue when constitutional provisions are distorted because it suits our purposes? We hate it when the left does that.
Is there any evidence the founders believed natural born meant born anywhere so long as one parent was an American?
Of all the potential 2016 contenders, he is the one that most intrigues me right now, WJ. It's still way early, and I don't know too much about Senator Cruz yet--haven't had time. But from all I've heard, he seems like a true conservative who stands for what is right and can articulate it with passion and intelligence. That's what I'm looking for.
As to his eligibility, I think the questions you raise--which are legitimate concerns--will be settled soon enough, if they have not been already. Lots of folks are saying he is eligible, and it sounds like a strong case can be made for that.
Why are you even a FReeper? If you don't like what we stand for, bail the hell out now while you still have a choice to do so on your own.
IF Cruz runs and IF he's the strongest conservative running (which no doubt he will be, look up his record) he will have my support 100%!! And I'm not going to allow the crap that happened during the last two presidential cycles to happen again. RINO supporters can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned along with any "conservative" who supports amnesty.
This is rebellion (a voter rebellion)!! Look up the Declaration. See if you can figure out what is says about consent of the governed and what that means. See if you can find the Founders' remedy for despotic government.
Live free or die!!
We have not yet begun to fight!!
You accused me of doing drugs. Prove that I'm on any drug of any sort.
This Ted Cruz birther stuff would continue even if an angel came down and affirmed his eligibility.
Their legal arguments don't hold water. No court will even touch it. It's up to the people.
He is spreading malicious lies and I've got a hunch he won't be long for FR.

Science and Quality
A high-quality source of heart-healthy EPA and DHA
The ability of the body to convert plant-based omega-3s (α-Linolenic acid, or ALA) to EPA, and subsequently DHA, is very low, even in healthy individuals. And DHA is especially difficult to obtain from plant-based omega-3s. Virtually no DHA is converted from ALA: One study showed that only 0.04% is converted to DHA1 and another study showed healthy males converted only 4%.2
You would need to eat about 4 teaspoons of flaxseed oil to get the same amount of DHA in Omega Q Plus 100…or about 1 cup of walnuts…or about 7 tablespoons of canola oil.
Why is a diet rich in DHA important to heart health?
Blood pressure
Research shows that a diet rich in DHA has a better effect in promoting normal blood pressure levels than EPA. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects were given purified supplements of EPA or DHA (4 grams) or a placebo for 6 weeks. Researchers found that DHA was superior to EPA for supporting healthy blood pressure levels. DHA (but not EPA) also helped reduce heart rate. It was also found that EPA supplements had no effect on raising blood phospholipid levels of DHA, indicating that the body has a difficult time converting EPA supplements to DHA.3
DHA is also better at improving vasodilation and endothelial function (as measured by forearm blood flow) in these same subjects.4
Blood Lipids
EPA and DHA have been shown to have favorable effects on blood lipids, including triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and lipid particle size, all important measures of cardiovascular health. While it appears that both EPA and DHA help to lower triglycerides (dosages greater than 2 grams daily), research suggests that DHA is the omega-3 that is responsible for increasing HDL cholesterol levels in the body.
Overall heart health
In a study of postmenopausal women, those with the highest levels of DHA (and not EPA or ALA) showed significantly better coronary artery health over a 3-year period.5 Similarly, in men, research shows that higher levels of DHA (and lower levels of saturated fat) is associated with better coronary artery health.6

JLO's makeup without Slum Bear

Jennifer Lopez was the recipient of the humanitarian award at the amfAR Inspiration Gala last night in New York. Amazingly enough, her Slum Lover Casper Bear did not crash the party. She might have to buy him another truck to make up for this one.
Bears or no bears though, JLO looked great in the face last night. The dress I don't really care for. It's Tom Ford but looks like Zuhair Murad. I feel like Tom Ford can do better. The face, however, is gorgeous. I love this makeup. I love that it's dewy and soft and that the eyes aren't too heavy and the lips are so light without any liner. I love it when she pulls her hair back tight like this. It's really a showstopper.

Going into last Friday night's game against Mesa Ridge, the Pueblo West Cyclones football team was on the playoff bubble.
But the 24 seniors who were honored before kickoff refused to even consider that this could be their last high school game.
Coming off an emotional loss to their archrivals of Pueblo South, the Cyclones looked flat in the early going.
West added some creative wrinkles to their unique kick-off routines (including using a decoy kicker).
But in the end they continued to struggle to execute the onside kicks and Mesa Ridge started the game on its own 45 yard line.
The Grizzlies promptly went to the air to test the Cyclones defensive secondary.
The effective passing tandem of Thomas Bisgrove to Elijah Gilbert heated up quickly.
Mesa methodically moved downfield, put the pig in the pen, and took a 7-0 lead.
The Cyclones were sluggish on their first offensive series, and the Mesa Ridge sideline was loud and proud.
But the West defense woke up and got off the field unscathed on the next series.
Their energy seemed to jump start the Cyclones offensive unit.
Fullback Kaden Wills promptly ran 80 yards for a touchdown — untouched — to tie the game at 7.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Cyclones decided to use some "trickeration."
Both of the West kickers (Tristian Ross and Willian Dos Santos), approached the ball as if they were going to kick it.
Instead of having Ross bounce another 10 yard onside boot, "kicker No. 2" (Dos Santos), launched the ball deep.
THE BALL LANDED just shy of the end zone and checked up beautifully, like a Tiger Woods chip shot.
The Cyclones decoy kicker, Ross, ran on a dead sprint and recovered the live ball at the Grizzly's two yard line.
Quarterback Zac Drury waltzed into the end zone on the next play, and the Cyclones had put up 14 points in five seconds.
The Mesa Ridge sideline went quiet, and the rout was on.
The Cyclones controlled the rest of the game and cruised to a 38-10 win.
The Cyclones offense returned to its early season form, amassing 450 yards rushing.
Three West backs broke the century mark.
Drury finished with 148 yards on 20 carries.
Tailback Cameron Clough returned to his prime form, rushing for 130 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns.
Wills added another 108 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
DOS SANTOS EVEN showed off some nice range by kicking a 45 yard field goal (something that they Cyclones may need to win a big game down the road).
Offensive guard Malik Jones was feeling good about his team's line play.
"We have really improved our communication, and our preparation is paying off," Jones said.
"We know that teams are going to pack in to stop our running game, and our communication has to be excellent."
The Cyclones offense was unable to finish drives in the second half, but the ball control game kept the clock moving.
The first reserve players — many of them seniors playing their last regular season home game — did an excellent job on both offense and defense.
Junior Josh Patterson clicked off some impressive runs to give the Cyclones breathing room and keep the sticks moving in the fourth quarter.
Pueblo West's defensive unit went with the "bend-but-don't-break" approach.
THE GRIZZLIES QUICK rhythm passing was tough to defend, and their receivers piled up some impressive YACs (Yards After Catches).
But the West defenders locked down in the red zone, and came away with several key turnovers.
Defensive backs Brock Wahlert and Travis Meyers each had an interception, and Cameron Vaughan recovered a fumble near the goal line.
The Cyclones defensive end, Zack Napier, is aware of his team's tendency to turn up the heat in tight quarters.
"We don't want anyone to score on us," Napier said.
"We are more intense in the red zone, and we sometimes throw a few more stunts at them in those situations."
Napier gave a lot of credit to his coaches for helping them focus on the little things that win games.
"We are facing good passing teams," Napier said, "and we practice all of the little details over and over.
"In practice we have to meet at the ball, and be ready to do 'up-downs' when coach blows the whistle at the end of the play…we are all expected to be right by the ball at the same time."
The repetition and the disciplined defensive play has played a critical role in the Cyclones success to this point.
They are counting on this hard-nosed defensive attitude growing even stronger as they advance in the playoffs.
WHEN THE DUST settled on Sunday, the Cyclones had retained the 14th spot on the 16-team playoff roster.
Offensive lineman Keith Hed conveyed the sentiments of his team very well.
"We are feeling good, and excited to begin the second season," Hed said.
"We are a good team and we are ready to make a run…our O-line is gelling, our defense is tough…I am so proud of our team right now."
Pueblo West (7-3, 5-2), will face number three Pine Creek in the first round this Friday (Nov. 8) at 7:00 p.m. at the District 20 Stadium in Colorado Springs.
The Pine Creek Eagles (8-2, 7-0) won the Pikes Peak League with a balanced offensive attack. In the regular season the Eagles averaged 240 yard rushing, 155 yards passing, and 33 points per game. Creek's losses came at the hands of two 5A teams, Columbine and Lakewood.

Skip to comments.Continue to Pray for Pope Benedict [Ecumenical]
Posted on 09/20/2010 8:39:51 AM PDT by Salvation
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd, Benedict, a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.
Or just say the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be for the intentions of the Holy Father,
or for his protection,
Thanks for doing this!
Prayers for our beloved Pope Benedict are on the way.
[Double] NOVENA FOR POPE BENEDICT XVI [Ecumenical]
Quite a few threads, no?
Thanks Salvation.
Amen to the Novena.
Prayer bump
Dear -----------Had I not unaccountably forgotten to send this message yesterday, I would have already told you what an outstanding success the Pope's visit to Britain wasagainst all media expectations. Phil Lawler explains why in his latest In Depth Analysis: The key to the Pope's success in Great Britain.
Phil also makes an important point about the odds on the size of the crowds at papal events: Take the over.
Here are the rest of Benedict's addresses in the UK (excluding those listed in Friday's message):
In On the News, Phil Lawler rightly interprets this as a personal invitation to enter the Church. You can keep up with all the Pope's homilies and addresses in our library:
Renewing prayers for Pope Benedict as he travels to Spain. I've seen a couple threads about protests, but that's all. Nothing like England!

The Green River Pirates concluded their baseball season with a quarterfinal defeat at the hands of Piute last week in a game played at the Spanish Fork complex. Final score was 13-6.
Piute then defeated Wayne in the semifinals 8-6 and lost to undefeated Panguitch 2-0 in the 1-A state championship game at UVU. Panguitch finished the season with a record of 24-0 after having started the season with a 7-0 victory over Green River.
Panguitch had defeated Tintic 16-2 in the quarterfinals and Tabiona 3-0 in the semifinals before winning the championship.
Junior Spencer Marshall led the team this season with the bat. Marshall led the team with three homeruns, six triples and six doubles. TJ Hughes tied Marshall with six doubles.
The team finished with 8 homeruns, 15 triples and 37 doubles as all players had at least one extra base hit this season.

Question all, I recently worked at a agency that was employee driven wanting 24 hr shifts with 72 interem off. What are the national ranking on 24 hr shifts and your personal thoughts on them.
Views: 4012
Like most things in EMS, there is no "National Standard" to shift lengths that I'm aware of.
For that matter, both agencies I work for have policies against personnel working beyond 16 straight hours without a minimum 9 hour rest period inbetween. Because of those policies, one agency only schedules 9 and 12 hour shifts because units can get stuck on long hauls putting them past that time limit if they were scheduled for more hours up front.
For both of those agencies, the decision was safety and patient risk driven.
There is no national standard. There are issues, though, and ranges of what a reasonable person would call "acceptable."
A rural EMS unit that runs 1-2 calls per day, the vast majority of which occur during the day, can probably utilize 24 shifts with impunity. The science that I've found says that anything less than 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep is dangerous. So - you know your service and its call load. If you can get 5 uninterrupted hours, say, 95% of the time, you're probably being objectively reasonable.
On the other hand, there are plenty of places where 24 hour shifts were institutionalized when things were not so busy (some EMS systems, or some FDs before they started running EMS calls). Once there, employees become invested in the lifestyle, the many days off, and resist change - even if it may cost them their lives - or more likely some poor patient or poor citizen's life (who was unfortunate enough to encounter some dangerously tired emergency responders).
Then there is the issue of money. It takes roughly 6 FTE (full time equivalent) employees to staff an ambulance on 24 on, 48 off, and 8 FTE to staff 24 x 72. It takes 8 FTE to staff on 12 hour shifts (14-15 days per month). It takes more (maybe 8.6 or 9.2) to staff 8 hour shifts. If you're responsible for the budget, all of a sudden asking for an increase in personnel of 25% is a big deal - even if you know that it would be more safe.
I've heard that the latest trend in the west coast fire services is to go for 48 on, 96 off. How safe is that? Again, are those rural units that run a couple of calls per day, and can do that schedule safely? Or are they asking for trouble?
Are we good, or are we content to be lucky?
Neil White said:
European working time directive. A piece of law that had a massive impact on healthcare working, no more junior doctors doing 60+ hours a week. All healthcare staff can only be "forced" to work 37.5 hours per week averaged out across 13 week cycles. A maximum of 16 hours per day only.
How on Earth do your doctors see enough patients in a residency, then, to get good at it? Or have they doubled the number of years it takes to become a consultant there?
The medical training programme was overhauled recently to reflect working hours changes. Last I heard it was taking on average 7 years to go from med school to registrar (attending??) and then the same to go from registrar to consultant (clinical director??)

As Skip mentioned, Lower unit hour utilization is an important consideration. My systems runs approx. 1 call per aircraft per 24 hr shift. Well within an acceptable range by anyone's standards. Obviously, a range of variance. but we do well. I wouldn't drive the distance to work more than twice a week. Loss of an experienced Flight Nurse/Medic because of an an hour mandate dicated nationally?
In the Greater Tampa Bay area of Florida the 24 hour-on/48 hour-off schedule is the most common in EMS-based fire services. The agency from which I recently retired has ambulances that run 3 calls per shift to others that run 15 calls per shift. Five hours of uninterrupted sleep for the busier units never happens. Is this a safety issue? In my opinion it is. But as Skip pointed out, tradition, employee desire and FTEs (money or costs) keep this manning approach alive.
As Neil has demonstrated, the UK (and much of Europe) has made great strides in recognizing and acting on the productivity, performance, satisfaction and safety of employees and consumers as it relates to the hours they work; notably in health care occupations.
Employee scheduling and staffing of ambulances and fire apparatus in most systems still boils down to costs (FTEs) to those charged with providing a service within the confines of constricting budgetary resources. It ain't pretty, but it's the truth. Even systems like the famed Pinellas County/Sunstar system are now faced with the reality of budgetary short-falls after a decade of being one of the richest EMS systems in the country. But I digress.
With the constant growth in the use of EMS by the general public and the evolution of the EMS role in the health care continuum, attention will have to become more focused on work hours. The safety of our employees helps insure the safety of our patients.
I do have a bit of advice to all you "consultants" out there. When you figure FTEs, remember the call does not end when the ambulance arrives at its destination or when it comes in-service. There is still a lot of work being done while en-route back to the stations and when the unit finally gets back in quarters. Uninterrupted sleep hours must keep this latter point in mind. Even on cancellations and dry runs. Adrenalin is our savior and our assassin in this crazy world of emergency services.
For years I have worked 24 hour shifts, both on slow and very busy units. It can be tough. And in my case, I worked a lot of extra shifts. I now work 12 hour shifts, 0700-1900. I like this better, from the workload standpoint. But I still have to maintain a certain amount of extra income, even more so with rising gas prices and the loss of income in my household over the past three years. Where I used to have 20 days off to work and extra 10 days each month, I now have 14 days off, but I still have to work those extra 10 days, either on an ambulance, QRV, or teaching. It's tough. I see both sides. If things had worked out differently, I would rather work the 24s and have the usable time off. But they haven't so it is what it is.
24 hour shifts are, for the most part, fire department tradition based bullS%^T that should have been removed along time ago from EMS...24 hour shifts are dangerous, don't match the workloads of EMS, and are hazardous to busy MICU or BLS transport trucks. Sleep deprivation kills
sorry to be blunt ...... but it's true we all know it
Respectfully, prove it.
There are places where the call volume is low enough that 24-hour shifts work just fine.
For example, can you show us a study that proves that busy EMS units working 24-hour shifts have a higher vehicle accident rate or medication error rate than an equivalent system that works shorter shifts?
If you can't do that, then maybe we don't really "know it". I eagerly await your evidence.

The Boston Red Sox may have won the World Series, but the St. Louis Cardinals top the baseball world in USA TODAY Sports' major league franchise rankings highlighted in USA TODAY Sports' annual Hot Stove Preview, a 64-page tabloid magazine on newsstands Tuesday.
ORDER: Baseball Insider 2013 Special Edition
St. Louis scored 133 points, 15 ahead of the second-placed Texas Rangers, over our nine categories based mostly on performance during the last five seasons (2009-2013) but also significantly factoring in this year's win total.
"This is a special, special organization," says Cardinals third baseman David Freese, the hometown hero and the 2011 World Series MVP. "The fans are great. The clubhouse (chemistry) is great. And when you look around, you can see that it's set up for a long, long time."
Our categories include postseason success, regular season success, regular season success for only this past season, drafting/amateur signing success, front office continuity, franchise value, attendance, affordability at games and wins related to payroll dollars spent.
The Cardinals scored especially high in our player development category, seeing a major league high 31 players they drafted or signed as non-drafted free agents in 2007 or later reach the big leagues. That list includes 2012 All-Star right-hander Lance Lynn, 2013 All-Star second baseman Matt Carpenter, 2013 postseason hero Michael Wacha and several other crucial members of the 2013 team that reached the World Series (closer Trevor Rosenthal, starter Shelby Miller, shortstop Pete Kozma and first baseman Matt Adams).
St. Louis also tied for the best overall record in 2013 (97-65 for a maximum of 10 points in that category) and racked up a major league high 30 points in our postseason category. The Cardinals have reached the playoffs four times in five years, winning one World Series and getting as far as the National League Championship Series three times.
The team that St. Louis beat in the 2011 World Series, the Rangers (118 points), scored well by reaching three postseasons, including the World Series twice in five years, establishing continuity in the front office (general manager Jon Daniels) and on the field (manager Ron Washington) and compiling the second best overall record since 2009 (457-354, .564). The Rangers also signed a wealth of impressive talent internationally, including pitchers Yu Darvish and Martin Perez, outfielder Leonys Martin and infielder Jurickson Profar.
The San Francisco Giants (113), Atlanta Braves (107) and New York Yankees (106) round out the top five, the Giants and Braves capitalizing on the performance of especially strong draft picks (Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner for the Giants; Craig Kimbrel, Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward for the Braves) and strong regular-season success. The Giants rode their core of young talent to two World Series (2010 and 2012).
The Yankees, with their unrivaled resources and franchise value, won a World Series (2009) and compiled the best overall record (475-335, .586) over our analysis period.
