text: Foot Health Awareness April 20, 2010 Diseases, disorders and disabilities of the foot affect the mobility and quality of life of millions of Americans. In fact, more than 75 percent of Americans will experience foot and ankle problems of varying degrees at some point during their lives. Some of these foot problems are inherited, but many are a result of a lifetime of accumulated abuse and neglect. Fortunately, many foot conditions can be prevented or treated by wearing properly–fitting footwear or by seeking early medical attention. According to a recent study by The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), however, only about one–quarter of Americans who have experienced a foot ailment have seen a physician of any kind about their ailments, and only 12 percent have visited a podiatrist. The Foot The anatomy of the human foot is very complex. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 ligaments, tendons and muscles, along with a network of blood vessels, nerves, skin and soft tissue. All of these combine to provide the body with support, balance and mobility by helping to maintain the arch, by absorbing stress and shock, and by providing a means to propel the body through all types of activities. Foot ailments Achiness or foot pain can have many causes and should not be ignored or regarded as a normal part of life. There are many things that can affect the health of a person's feet including his or her activity level, occupation, health conditions and choice of footwear. The amount of time that an individual spends on his or her feet can also take its toll. Twenty–four percent of Americans report spending a full six hours or more on their feet during a typical day, while 20 percent regularly spend between four and six hours per day on their feet. Additionally, an average day of walking exerts a force equal to several hundred tons on the feet. Over time, this extensive use can cause problems. According to the APMA, some of the most common ailments affecting the feet include: Athlete's foot: Athlete's foot is a skin disease that is caused by a fungus. It usually forms between the toes or on the bottom of the feet and can then spread to other parts of the body. Signs of athlete's foot include dry scaly skin, itching, inflammation and blisters. Blisters: A blister is caused by skin friction. A blister should never be popped as unbroken skin over a blister provides a natural barrier to bacteria and decreases the risk of infection. Bunions: A bunion is a painful, bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. It can become enlarged, forcing the big toe to crowd against the other toes. Bunions can develop for a number of reasons, but a common cause is the wearing of shoes that are too narrow in the forefoot and toe. Bunions can also develop as a result of an inherited structural defect, stress on the foot or a medical condition such as arthritis. Corns and calluses: Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of dead skin cells that develop to protect the skin after exposure to a repetitive force such as friction between an individual's foot and his or her shoe (especially if there is an irregularity in the shoe). Corns ordinarily form on the toes and calluses on the soles of the feet. Hammertoe: A hammertoe is a toe that bends upward in the middle and then curls down in a hammer–like or claw–like shape. Although the condition usually stems from muscle imbalance, it is often aggravated by ill–fitting shoes or socks that cramp the toes. Heel pain: Heel pain is the most common foot problem that doctors encounter. It can generally be attributed to faulty biomechanics which place excess stress on the heel bone, ligaments or nerves in the area. Excess physical activity, ill–fitting shoes and excess weight can result in pain and inflammation in the heels, and general health conditions such as arthritis, gout and circulatory problems can be additional causes. Heel spurs: A heel spur is a growth of bone that usually begins on the front of the heel bone and points toward the arch of the foot. Heel spurs do not always cause pain, but pain may result when inflammation develops at the point where the spur forms. Both heel pain and heel spurs are often associated with plantar fasciitis, a painful condition involving the inflammation of the long band of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the ball of the foot. Ingrown toenails: An ingrown toenail is a common condition in which the corner or side of the toenail grows into the soft flesh of the toe. The result is pain, redness, swelling and, sometimes, infection. Ingrown toenails are frequently caused by improper nail trimming but are also caused by shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity and poor foot structure. Morton's neuromas: A noncancerous (benign) growth of nerve tissue that most commonly develops between the third and fourth toes, Morton's neuroma causes a sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot. Additionally, toes may sting, burn or feel numb. Neuromas are caused by bones and other tissue rubbing against and irritating the nerves. Abnormal bone structure or pressure from ill–fitting shoes can also create the condition. Plantar warts: Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths on the soles of the feet that are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) which enters the body through small cuts and infects the skin. Plantar warts often develop beneath pressure points in the feet, such as the heels or balls of the feet. Most warts are harmless and benign, though they can be painful and unsightly. Warts often come from walking barefooted on dirty surfaces or littered ground. It is important to note that self–treatment can often turn a minor problem into a major one. When any of the above conditions occur or persist, an individual should see a podiatrist. Podiatric physicians/surgeons are specifically and extensively trained in the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases, disorders and disabilities of the foot. There are a number of serious medical conditions that are sometimes first detected in the feet. Specifically: Joint stiffness in the feet could mean arthritis. According to the Arthritis Foundation, approximately 90 percent of the 1.3 million Americans with rheumatoid arthritis will develop symptoms in the foot and ankle. For some individuals, foot symptoms are the first indication of the presence of rheumatoid arthritis. When the condition affects the feet, pain usually begins in the toes and later spreads to the rest of the feet and ankles. The joint damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis can eventually change the shape of the toes and feet. Once diagnosed, it can often be treated effectively with medications, exercise and, in some cases, surgery. Gout is another type of arthritis that causes foot pain. It occurs when deposits of uric acid accumulate and collect in the joints — particularly the big toe — and cause intense, episodic pain. Gout can be treated with non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other medications such as steroids. Performing regular physical activity, drinking appropriate amounts of water, avoiding certain medications and staying at a healthy weight can help prevent gout attacks. Tingling or numbness in the feet could be a sign of diabetes. Excess sugar in the blood can lead to nerve damage, causing tingling, loss of sensation and compromised blood circulation in the feet. Diabetes is a major cause of foot problems in the United States and can lead to the surgical removal of a toe or even more of the foot or lower leg. The American Diabetes Association estimates that one–in–five people with diabetes who seek hospital care do so for foot problems. By taking proper care of the feet, most serious health problems associated with diabetes can be prevented. It is also important for diabetics to quit smoking, wear supportive shoes and avoid being barefoot to prevent unnecessary foot trauma. Swelling of the feet might indicate kidney disease, heart disease or high blood pressure. Persistent swelling of one or both feet may be due to kidney, heart or circulatory problems. Increased or periodic swelling in the feet and lower extremities may mean that high blood pressure has contributed to heart disease. When the heart muscle walls weaken and are unable to pump as strongly, the kidneys often respond by causing waste products and fluid to build up in the body, causing swelling in the feet. If a podiatrist detects any of the above conditions in a patient, he or she will refer the individual to a primary care physician for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Healthy Feet Healthy feet are an integral part of a healthy and happy lifestyle. The APMA recommends the following to keep your feet healthy: Do not ignore foot pain — it is not normal. If pain persists, see a podiatric physician. Inspect feet regularly. Pay attention to changes in their color and temperature. Look for thick or discolored nails (a sign of developing fungus) and check for cracks or cuts in the skin. Peeling or scaling on the soles of feet could indicate athlete's foot. Any growth on the foot is not considered to be normal. Wash feet regularly, especially between the toes, and be sure to dry them completely. Trim toenails straight across, but not too short. Be careful not to cut nails in corners or on the sides; it can lead to ingrown toenails. Persons with diabetes, poor circulation or heart problems should not treat their own feet because they are more prone to infection. Make sure that shoes fit properly. Purchase new shoes later in the day when feet tend to be at their largest and replace worn out shoes as soon as possible. Select and wear the right shoe for the activity being engaged in (i.e., running shoes for running). Alternate shoes — do not wear the same pair of shoes every day. Avoid walking barefooted — feet will be more prone to injury and infection. When at the beach or wearing sandals, always use sun block. Be cautious when using home remedies for foot ailments. If you have diabetes, you should see a podiatric physician at least once a year for a check–up. Paying attention to proper foot health is vital to maintaining the body's overall wellness. Painful feet and other foot ailments can affect our ability to enjoy the most basic activities in our daily lives. It is, therefore, very important to treat our feet with respect and invest in their good health.

Market check: Index futures point modestly lower. Except for the Nasdaq 100. The tech-oriented index is surging thanks in part to a 6.4% premarket rise in Apple (AAPL) — the beneficiary of reports that the company's latest smartphone launch may have sold out in record time. Look for a stronger showing today in PowerShares QQQ (QQQ) and other tech-heavy ETFs versus the broader index. To the extent the rest of the stock market remains beset by Federal Reserve worries — though the subject du jour may have already turned to the "debt ceiling" – Morgan Stanley's stock-market strategists, led by Adam Parker, argue there's no reason for stock investors to fear the "taper." "[W]e do not find evidence that additional QE currently matters for equity markets. Tapering of asset purchases should not pose a significant risk for equities," the group writes, citing their review of settlement dates for brokers' receipt of cash from the Fed for mortgage-backed securities. The firm estimates MBS purchases added a cumulative 7% to the S&P 500, with an especially strong response in the energy, materials and financial sectors.
Fund watch: A handful of Vanguard Group taxable money-market funds are set to pay out a sliver of capital gains. Admiral Treasury Money Market (VUSXX) will pay out $0.00002 per share, Federal Money Market (VMFXX) will pay $0.00006 and Prime Money Market (VMMXX) will pay $0.00009, Daniel P. Wiener of the Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors writes clients this morning. A spokesman confirmed the payouts to Barrons.com in an email, citing the low-interest rate environment of the last five years. Wiener reads a caution for Washington's ongoing money-market overhaul: "If this is a preview of what we might see when money market reform is finalized in the coming months, investors everywhere will be annoyed, and accountants will be spending a bit more time, each year, putting together our tax returns. Unfortunately, I don't think the extra gains will begin to pay for the bills those accountants will be sending out."
In the news: Approximately 20 people are joining ETF market makers Reggie Browne, Darren Taube, and Eric Lichtenstein in the switch to Cantor Fitzgerald from Knight Capital, reports Bloomberg News' Christopher Condon.

Download As organizations seek to continue leveraging the advantages of virtualization technologies, many are embracing virtualization of end user desktops via approaches such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). But while VDI solutions promise significant security and operational efficiency improvements, they also bring with them unique deployment challenges. If organizations hope to reap the full benefit of a VDI deployment, they must assure the best possible end-user experience, or adoption will stall and the project will fail. The network plays a critical role in making that a reality, particularly when trying to extend VDI deployments to remote/branch sites where WAN links will be a part of the connectivity picture. This ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES whitepaper examines the challenges of VDI in the branch and how Riverbed solutions are designed to ensure that the network can deliver on the promise of VDI.

Eight months after you started this stupid series, and you're still writing these huh Drance?
The closer we get to the opening of the lockout shortened 2013 NHL season, set to begin for the Canucks in something like 52 hours (as of the time of this writing), the more likely it seems that Roberto Luongo will remain with the team to start the season. If that's the case, Alain Vigneault appears likely to start Roberto Luongo in one of the team's two games this weekend (against Edmonton or Anaheim):
AV: 'last 2 years, when both goalies healthy, I've split duties on back to backs. You can read into that what you want.' #Canucks— Jeff Paterson (@patersonjeff) January 17, 2013
To add to the mounting evidence that Luongo could remain in Vancouver: the Toronto Maple Leafs, long thought to be the most likely Luongo trade destination have recently gutted their centre depth by trading Matt Lombardi to Phoenix, losing Keith Aucoin on waivers to the Islanders, and waiving fragile offensive centreman Tim Connolly on Thursday. It's beginning to look an awful lot like Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri - the two most oft-rumoured Maple Leafs who might be sent to the Canucks in a Luongo package - will play key roles on the Maple Leafs this season.
So what are some of the advantages to keeping Luongo, and what's the potential downside? Could this really hapen or is Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis simply working to a particularly excruciating deadline as is his usual modus operandi?
Why it makes sense to keep Luongo.
From a hockey perspective, keeping Luongo and Schneider around this season makes all the sense in the world. In a shortened seasons where injuries are likely to be a massive determinative factor in outcomes, having two number netminders could prove advantageous - even season-saving - for the Canucks.
Considering the wasteland that is the unrestricted free-agent goaltender market, there's no way the Canucks can find better insurance should Schneider stumble than they've already got in-house in Roberto Luongo. Also, with the way Roberto Luongo's performance has trended over the past 250 or so games, it's possible that a shortened season might result in him just hitting his "sweet spot" stride headed into the postseason.
In terms of Luongo's "trade value" too, if the Maple Leafs and the Canucks have broken off talks regarding a Luongo transaction (as appears to be the case based on Pierre LeBrun's comments earlier this week), maybe the Canucks are best off waiting for the trade-deadline or the NHL draft to try and maximize Luongo's value at either of those more traditional pressure points. Luongo has said that he'll willingly stick around for at least the shortened season, so it's not as if Mike Gillis has to rush into a deal here.
Why the Luongo trade is still imminent.
Many folks remain convinced that Luongo will not play another game for the Canucks. I was on that train as recently as a few days ago, but with the season opener so close at hand I find my resolve being shook.
Here's my reasoning on why a last minute Luongo trade should probably still be considered the more likely outcome: playing Roberto Luongo in a regular season game at this point is extraordinarily risky, the club does need to shed his contract before the salary cap descends next season, keeping Luongo on the bench as a backup would represent something of a blackeye for Luongo (and the team), and sharing starts isn't what Cory Schneider signed up for when he agreed to an extension this summer.
The risk argument is the easiest to dissect. What if Luongo plays against Edmonton in the second game of the back-to-back series the Canucks have on the schedule this weekend, stretches out to make a desperation save, and comes up lame? It's not like he's seen any NHL action since mid-April of 2012. Or what if he plays poorly in limited action through the first couple of months of the season?
Obviously the Canucks are having a tough time attracting a suitable offer on the trade market for Luongo's services already - otherwise he'd have been moved as quickly as Jordan Staal was at the draft in June. If Luongo gets hurt or has a run of poor outings, his value will diminish even further. Is this a risk the team is willing to run? Maybe, but the Canucks management team has generally been risk-averse (with the exception of the Luongo contract and the Hodgson trade, I suppose)...
There's also the structural realities of the NHL's cap-system. Whatever Canucks management says: they can't pay two goaltenders a combined 9.33 million against the salary cap indefinitely. Especially not when they've got the likes of Edler, Tanev, Higgins and Lapierre hitting free-agency this summer (and every one of them due a raise). Moving Luongo's cap-hit is a necessity, and it's one that is made even more urgent by the 2013-14 descending salary cap.
I'm also not sure that the Canucks are eager to "embarrass" Luongo by putting him in a backup role. Or, at least they shouldn't be. Luongo will play the good sport and say all the right thing - including that he's willing to spot Schneider this season and compete for starts - you can count on that. But his quote to RDS when he said that he doesn't want to stay in Vancouver long-term also strikes me as compelling. Luongo's a team first guy, but he knows it's time to move on and the Canucks do as well. Luongo deserves to be "the guy" and he's just not that in Vancouver anymore.
Meanwhile Cory Schneider has earned the right to be "the guy" too, and I think it's safe to assume that that's what he signed up for when he agreed to a lucrative extension with the Canucks this past summer. He certainly could've been a thorn in the team's side had he decided to hit the open market and try to scare up a predatory offer sheet instead...
Obviously competing for your job is part of life as a professional athlete, but being a first-time starter and having arguably the second best active NHL goaltender sitting on the bench behind you, just can't be an ideal situation for a young netminder.
Schneider and Luongo both seem to be mature, professional guys, and it helps that they get along famously. If push comes to shove they'll roll with the punches on this, as they have all along to this point, but it's hard to imagine that this is a situation that either player is enthralled with in private.
So when the Canucks play Anaheim on Saturday night, will they do so with Luongo remaining in blue and green, sporting a ballcap and managing the bench door? I have a tough time seeing it, but as the time runs off the clock before the opening of the season the prospect seems increasingly likely...
Nothing to add from me, just want to help your comment count in case Tencer comes trolling by.
Gillis' stubborness on this Lou thing are going to cost the team dearly. He has an idea of what Lou is worth but it doesn't matter if the market won't pay. I have a friend who has his house on the market for a year. He keeps saying "I just can't sell it". The fact is, he could sell it, if he would face reality and ask what its worth. He is clearly priced himself out of the market. Same with Lou. If nobody will pay, the price is too much. That's a fact when you are selling something.
The longer Gillis waits, the riskier it gets. Sure Lou's value could go up with a desperate team at trade deadline or the draft as you suggest. But an injury, or heaven forbid a bad start (by either goalie) will hurt things. Imagine if Schneider has a rough start. Then what? Start playing Lou, media circus, crushed confidence.... Its a gong show.
Personally I think Gillis should trade Schneider. Lou is a world class elite goalie, and if nobody wants him, fine you'd think we could move Cory. Sitting around for another year while Daniel and Herik edge towards 35 years old isn't exactly a great plan IMO.

As Gale Miles of Orangeville and her husband Mervin, have traveled around Emery County, they have taken many interesting photos of the sights in the area. Recently, the couple were going through some photos, doing some organization of their collection, when they noticed a big number of the rock art photos.
Gale felt like the photos should be displayed and a discussion of the proper method of display took place. "There has got to be something we can do with these besides putting them in a book," she said. She told Mervin she had a good idea to make a quilt from the photos. Gale began to mull over the idea of a quilt. Mervin's mother and sisters had made quilts and taught her how. She figured it would be a great and unique way to display the wonderful rock art from around the county.
"Most of the sites we have photographed are in the San Rafael Swell," said Gale. "A couple are in the Three Fingers area and some are in the Price Canyon area." Gale then began to scan her favorites into the computer. She then printed them out with iron-on paper.
Gale spent numerous hours arranging and rearranging the layout. She then went on a search for just the right fabrics of the right color and prints. She knew she was looking for something reminiscent of the colors of the Swell.
After the fabric was acquired, she went to work piecing the quilt top together. She then assembled the quilt on the frames and tied it. "I had a lot of fun with this one," Gale said. "It was my first attempt with the computer also."
When asked about future projects, Gale responded she has quite a few photos of old homesteads from around this area. "That would be a fun one," she stated.
Her plans for the rock art quilt are not solid yet. She said a gentleman from Salt Lake has offered to purchase it, but she is not ready to make that decision yet. She wants to enjoy it in her own home first.
For those in Emery County, she is considering displaying it at the Emery County Fair this year.

Moving Beyond the Vision:
Arizona Moves from Planning to Action
Arizona is at the tip of the spear in our nationÆs efforts to combat methamphetamine. Forty-three percent of the methamphetamine coming into the United States from Mexico comes across the Arizona border and finds its major distribution points in Phoenix and Las Vegas. In addition, current data from the Impact of Substance Abuse: A Snapshot of Arizona, January 2009, reports that the number of labs making meth is on the increase, rising from 6 in 2007 to 29 in 2008. This is in large measure the result of the ōsmurfingö1 activities of organized criminal gangs operating in the Southwest. Despite that reality, prevalence rates among Arizona youth are down and the state is making significant progress in expanding access to treatment for families and children. Data from the 2008 Arizona Youth Survey shows that past 30-day use of methamphetamine among youth has decreased in all counties since 2006 and in some instances by up to 50 percent.
Success for Arizona has required hard work. Governor Janet Napolitano, now secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, made methamphetamine a priority in her administration. In 2005, she appointed a highly visible Methamphetamine Task Force, chaired by Barbra LaWall, the Pima County Prosecutor. Within 2 years, the Task Force produced Call to Action, a plan with priority recommendations and a system of reporting and accountability that have transformed the way Arizona responds to methamphetamine and other illegal substances.
Each recommendation was supported by staff with appropriate agency assignments and specific timelines and monthly reports were submitted to the GovernorÆs Office of Substance Abuse Policy.
With funding support from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (the COPS Office), the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration, the principals of Strategic Applications International (SAI) have facilitated 22 GovernorÆs Summits on Methamphetamine. SAIÆs work with Arizona represented a shift in strategy from a purely summit model of planning to a model that would require SAI to work closely with the state providing facilitation and technical assistance following the summit. This process and relationship has proved to be successful. Key points have emerged from the process, not the least of which is that the approach taken with meth can be used to develop comprehensive strategies to respond to all substance abuse. Bringing people together and holding them accountable for producing outcomes is critical to ArizonaÆs success.
As an example, at a strategic planning and task meeting of key law enforcement agencies in Arizona, Sheriff Steve Tucker of Greenlee County complained about a 4-ounce meth problem in his rural county and surmised that the Phoenix Police Department could help him solve it. While the Phoenix police felt that TuckerÆs problem was not a concern compared to the volume of meth coming into Maricopa County, Richard Rosky, Regional Coordinator for the Southwest Meth Initiative of HIDTA, saw it differently. Rosky proposed that coordination between Phoenix (meth distribution point) and rural law enforcement could break the back of the rural dealer.
Tucker began regular communication with the Phoenix Police Department and soon the dealer distributing his 4 ounces of meth was off the streets. This kind of coordination among the various law enforcement agencies has proved to be highly successful in Arizona. It has improved enforcement strategies along the border, enhanced intelligence sharing, and has tightened the protocols between law enforcement and child- protective services to protect Arizona children found in drug-endangered homes.
Communication and coordination are continuing under the current administration of Governor Janice Brewer and Attorney General Terry Goddard. This is particularly essential because Arizona, like many states, is facing a huge budget shortfall.
In a new move, the COPS office has funded SAI to replicate the Arizona model in what is called the Eight State Methamphetamine Initiative, involving Utah, Minnesota, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Arizona, Hawaii, and Idaho. Each state is developing its own unique approach in dealing with methamphetamine. Florida and Idaho have strong plans and are putting accountability measures into place; Utah developed a sustainable model to respond to drug-endangered children by establishing a statewide alliance; Minnesota has strong data collection and is organizing a comprehensive approach to methamphetamine; Hawaii, who has for many years battled the presence of methamphetamine, is replicating the Meth Action Team model found in Washington state; Kentucky is focusing on intergenerational substance abuse and is revisiting its statewide strategy; and finally, Indiana has focused on building the capacity of its county coalitions and has established an interdiction model in law enforcement working closely with the stateÆs Fusion Center. Further, IndianaÆs innovative methamphetamine treatment in its state prison is designed to reduce recidivism upon prisonersÆ release.
These eights states have discovered that vigilance is essential to combating methamphetamine. General Barry McCaffrey, former director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, asserted that ōAmericans are in search of a high. Synthetic drugs is their easiest path to that high.ö We have long discovered that we cannot treat methamphetamine as the drug of the day and casually move on to the next substance, whether it is heroin, cocaine, or prescription drug abuse. Meth requires a comprehensive and systemic approach. The planning and outcome- focused strategy developed by Arizona has had an impact and evidence clearly suggests that it has reduced methamphetamine use. It is an approach that begs replication.
- 1ōSmurfingö is drug slang for buying meth ingredients in small quantities from various sources to avoid raising suspicion.

SAN DIEGO — Peyton Manning is giggling.
This is not a scene from the south end zone at Qualcomm Stadium, moments after he threw a perfect pass to Brandon Stokley for the game-winning touchdown. This is not a snapshot of Manning on the sideline after any of his three touchdown passes during an incredible 35-24 second-half comeback victory from a 24-0 halftime deficit to beat the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.
Heck, this isn't even Manning in the postgame locker room amid the thunder of his teammates' fists pounding on the steel lockers in triumph.
BOX SCORE: Broncos 35, Chargers 24
This is Manning, escaping pressure and leaping over a Chargers pass rusher.
With a grin on his face.
"He's giggling, he's laughing. Rolling out of the pocket, I see him smiling like, 'I just got out of another one!'" Broncos tight end Jacob Tamme told USA TODAY Sports after Manning's 37th career fourth-quarter comeback evened the Denver Broncos' record at 3-3 and pulled them even with San Diego atop the AFC West. "He was incredible. He was like (Ben) Roethlisberger back there. He can't be sacked right now."
For one night – nay, for one half – Manning couldn't be sacked, stopped or even slowed down. And he showed there's still some life in his arm and surgically repaired neck.
VIDEO: Decker tackled by turf monster
Thirteen straight completions to start the second half. Gorgeous passes on the hands of his receivers and inches from defenders' fingertips. Enough arm strength to complete 24 of 30 attempts for 309 yards and three touchdowns. Yes, the Broncos' defense was stellar with six turnovers and two defensive touchdowns. But this was vintage Manning. That, along with the meltdown of opposing quarterback Philip Rivers, was the story of the night.
Even postgame, Manning was unstoppable.
"You can't shut that guy up," said Stokley, standing in a towel and waiting for the end of Manning's press conference so he could do a radio interview.
For weeks and months now, a lot of doubters have been doing the talking. It's Manning's turn.
"It's well-documented how I feel about some of my heroes, whether it's Brett Favre or Dan Marino or John Elway," he said of equaling Marino's record of 47 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime. "It's very humbling to be mentioned among those guys."
The Broncos have been outscored 98-42 in the first half this season. They've now outscored opponents 128-40 in the second half, in part because of Manning's in-game adjustments.
Not many believed Manning could find that comeback touch he had with the Indianapolis Colts, in moments such as the 2006 AFC Championship Game when he led an 18-point comeback against the New England Patriots or when he overcame a 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter of a Monday Night Football victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003.
The Chargers didn't believe in Manning. The way their secondary crammed the short area in the first half, with their safeties playing on their toes instead of their heels, told Manning and the Broncos all they needed to know about San Diego's lack of faith in Manning's arm.
"Yeah, I think so, because Peyton hasn't really thrown it deep," said wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who had a 29-yard touchdown reception to begin the comeback. "But he threw it deep and he hit us."
And what did that announce to the rest of the league?
"That you never know what you're going to get," Thomas said, "so you'd better keep your head on a swivel."
Because Manning's head certainly is.
One of the smartest, most aware passers ever to play the game, Manning was back to his old ways. He was seeing the field Monday like he had in his days with the Colts. The proof was on an out-and-up route to Tamme to convert a third-and-16 at the beginning of the fourth quarter after a holding penalty on running back Willis McGahee had negated a first down.
"We drew it up in the dirt during the timeout," Tamme said. "We had a beat on what the coverage was going to be. I went up to Peyton, he was coming up to me at the same time, and we were both saying the same thing."
Tamme was reluctant to make the big overall statement about Manning's on-field vision being as good as it's ever been.
"But, I mean, yeah," Tamme said with a laugh as he conceded, "he was really seeing it pretty good in the second half."
More proof: he called an audible as the play clock was running down on Stokley's touchdown, a 21-yard fade up the right sideline with only a few inches of space over cornerback Marcus Gilchrist's hands.
"Let's just say I'm happy to be on his side this time because I've seen that before," said Broncos safety Jim Leonhard, a heady player who was on the Jets when Manning and the Colts erased a 17-6 deficit with 24 unanswered points in the AFC Championship Game two seasons ago. "It's unbelievable watching him work, especially when he gets rolling."
Peyton Manning is laughing again. This time at the end of a perfectly delivered one-liner on Eric Decker's trip in the first half on what should've been an 85-yard touchdown but instead set up his only interception when he and Matt Willis weren't on the same page.
"That guy made a great tackle," Manning said. "I mean, the piece of grass made a tackle."
The room of reporters erupted, and then Manning got serious for a moment.
"Those things happen," he said, "and you kind of wonder, 'Is it meant to be?'"
Wonder no more. For at least one night – one half – it was.

GREEN RIVER-Rodney Lloyd Silliman, age 52, passed away unexpectedly July 15, 2008 in Green River.
He was born Sept. 21, 1955 in Fruita, Colo. to Howard E. and Lucille L. Anderson Silliman.
Since a very young age, Rodney was always very outgoing. Everyone was his friend, no matter how young or old. Even as a preschooler, he would make his Green River neighborhood rounds to chat and enjoy snacks from his friends. At age 5 when the local ward was being built, he understood himself to be the chief assistant construction manager. He fancied himself the supervisor of many projects as a young boy, including "working on the railroad", and his love for the railroad lasted his lifetime. He spent much time on the farm, and "helping" the men with work.
Rodney loved music and played tuba with the high school band beginning when he was in the fourth grade. He dedicated his life to Jesus at age 8 and loved and followed the Lord until the day he went to meet Him.
In his adult life he graduated from Snow College and attended LeTourneau University in welding technology and supervision. He had a variety of jobs in construction, mining, refining and manufacturing. He pursued his personal interests in farming and mineral exploration. He was very active in his community, holding positions on many boards and in church life.
Rod married Karen Louise Paden, Jan. 15, 2005 and resided in Elkhorn, Neb. and was currently in Green River, Utah, with Greg and Lindsey, his children by marriage and so much more. They will greatly miss this man that loved them so completely and dedicated his life to them.
He is described by his friends as unique, sincere, smart and knowledgeable on many topics. Whenever he committed to something, he committed himself entirely. His heart was large and his love for people shaped his life in the Green River community, in church and in his business relationships.
Survived by his wife, Karen Silliman, son and daughter, Gregory Steven and Lindsey Marie Gelster, all of Green River, Utah; two sisters and one brother, Judy (Jim) Bowman, Roundrock, Texas; Karen (Robert) Smith, Green River, Utah; Jeff (Connie) Silliman, Salt Lake City; mother-in-law, Donna Paden, Elkhorn, Neb.; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Larry (Sherry) Paden, Leshara, Neb.; Kathy (Charlie) Sisson, Charles (Valorie) Paden, both of Omaha, Neb.; Richard Paden, Elkhorn, Neb.; also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and a community of lifelong friends. Rodney was preceded in death by his parents, and father-in-law, Paul Paden.
Funeral services were Saturday, July 19, 2008, 11 a.m., Green River High School. Family received friends at the high school Saturday morning beginning at 9:30 a.m. Friends were welcome at Mitchell Funeral Home in Price daily from 9 a.m.- 9 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral of Price.
In memory of Rodney, the family suggests contributions to Salt Lake Theological Seminary.

The Solé Story
Why settle for something you don't love? Chances are your current bicycle is nothing more than mere transportation. Solé exists to change that.
Like Slim always told us, "It's not where you're going, it's how you get there." We couldn't agree more. We believe your bicycle should be an extension of your life. Your bicycle should be live music, it should be art, it should be epic, it should be dawn patrol and late night adventures. Solé Bicycles are you, they're your mobile canvas, and oh yeah, they'll get you there too.
Read the whole story
What's in the Box
Your brand new Solé comes 90% assembled. All you gotta do is throw on the front tire, handle bars and seat and your Solé is ready to go. Don't worry, we have all the tools you'll need to turn your 90% Solé in a 100% Solé. We've also included a step-by-step assembly guide for all you first timers.
Caring for Your Solé
Pump it up: Every few weeks, your tires would be super stoked if you grabbed your friendly bicycle pump and pushed some air into them. Your tires were meant to slowly seep air -- so when they get low, pump them up. Keep it between 100 - 120 psi.
Lube it or lose it: Your new Solé comes nice 'n lubed up, but over time mother nature can be pretty sneaky, especially with your chain. If the chain starts squeakin, grab some lubricant at your local bike shop and lightly apply.

Five Leafs thoughts to begin the week - April 15th
Cam Charron
April 15 2013 04:52AM
Five laboriously-constructed thoughts focusing on players and storylines we'll be following this week at The Leafs Nation. This week: Phil Kessel the juggernaut, more shooting percentage junk, Randy Carlyle's Jack Adams candidacy, Nazem Kadri's usage and Mark Fraser's excellent segment on Hockey Night in Canada.
No. 1 - Phil Kessel's career season
You may not have noticed it Saturday night given the attention paid to Nazem Kadri this season, but Phillip J. Kessel has overtaken the young stud for the team lead in scoring. Not that this is a discredit to Kadri, but he's having trouble scoring points now that 20% of the shots while he's on the ice aren't going in the net (although when I said this about the Maple Leafs' losing streak last month, they went on a crazy run towards the end of the season, so…)
When Kessel was interviewed post-game, it occurs to me it was the first time I'd ever heard the man talk or seen him outside the context of a hockey game. It wasn't too pretty, and Kessel just said "right?" every second word and couldn't wipe that silly smile off his face.
Kessel gains the zone more often with control than any Leaf. Kessel is more involved in scoring chances on his line than any Leaf. Kessel leads the team in shots, and his linemate James van Riemsdyk is second on the team. The Leafs take more unblocked shots at the net with Kessel on the ice than with any other Leaf.
The shot stats are telling because none of Kessel's run this season has been percentage-driven. Here are his career numbers, in goals per 82 games, shots per game and shooting percentage. I like using those three categories to showcase a player's offensive ability:
|Goals Per 82
|Shots per GP
Individually, Kessel's shot percentage this season is actually below his career average... and he's still on pace for 30 goals! Here are Shots For per 60 minutes, plus team on-ice Shot percentage, with Kessel on the ice over his years in the NHL:
|On-Ice Sh%
Kessel has an elevated on-ice shooting percentage, but it isn't extreme. The small gap, if it were to revert to Kessel's career norms, would result in a change of about five goals for and perhaps three points for Kessel.
Stats via Behind The Net and Hockey Reference
No. 2 - What about the other guys?
PDO is the addition of save percentage and shot percentage. Here are the Leafs numbers in that category:
|On-Ice Sh%
|On-Ice Sv%
|Joffrey Lupul
|Mike Komisarek
|Mark Fraser
|Nazem Kadri
|Cody Franson
|Jay McClement
|Carl Gunnarsson
|Matt Frattin
|Colton Orr
|Jake Gardiner
|Frazer McLaren
|Ryan Hamilton
|Dion Phaneuf
|Tyler Bozak
|Phil Kessel
|Nik Kulemin
|James van Riemsdyk
|Clarke MacArthur
|John-Michael Liles
|Leo Komarov
|Ryan O'Byrne
|Mikhail Grabovski
|Mike Kostka
|Korbinian Holzer
|Joe Colborne
Now, remember that the league leader over any three-year stretch in the NHL is Daniel Sedin, who had a 1047 PDO between 2008 and 2011. During that time, him and linemate Henrik Sedin won two scoring titles. Henrik has been identified as one of the few players in the league who can affect teammate's shot rates.
I'm not here to bury the Leafs, just to try to contain expectations for the playoffs and next season. The Leafs success this year will have me re-evaluating certain statistical concepts in the offseason, but there are currently SIX regular Leafs who put up a higher PDO than any NHL leader over a three-year period. It's simply not a sustainable or repeatable skill for many Leafs. Matt Frattin is a useful third-or-fourth-line player because he's got some talent, can pot the odd goal and is fast, but he's not better than Daniel Sedin.
No. 3 - Randy Carlyle for Jack Adams?
Steve Simmons has company. Jonas Siegel is drinking the Kool-Aid.
Don't do it Jonas… don't do it…
When the 113-day lockout ended on January 6, expectations were low for a team that had missed the playoffs epicly for the seventh consecutive season the previous spring. But with seven games left in the 2013 campaign, the Leafs sit a surprising fifth in the Eastern Conference, well on their way to the postseason for the first time in nine years.
There may be more deserving candidates for the honour, Paul MacLean, Dan Bylsma, Joel Quenneville, Michel Therrien and Bruce Boudreau among them, but Carlyle deserves to have his name in the conversation for the Jack Adams Award. Under his direction, the Leafs have transformed into a brute, scrappy, high-scoring annoyance, one that despite inexperience – especially in goal and on defence – has managed to "earn respect back for the organization".
Known to be meticulous in his demand for details, Carlyle has incorporated structure, order and an edgy culture to the team in Toronto, ensuring a grinding brand of hockey that most of his players have accepted as necessary for success.
My beef with the Jack Adams coronations year-to-year is that they don't seem to focus on any tactical pursuit that leads to a team's success. You can talk day and night about changing the "culture" of an organization, but what exactly on the ice, other than the penalty kill, is noticeably better this season than last when it comes to player positioning or deployment.
Maybe other people are seeing it, but I'm not. I'd like to challenge anybody to find tangible differences between the Carlyle squad of this season and the first-half Ron Wilson squad of last season. The only real difference is that the team fights more, but even that effect gets nullified in the wash when you set the PVR, start the game on a 2-minute delay and fast-forward through the inevitable first period fight.
The Jack Adams always gets awarded to the coach of the team that the media lowballed at the start of the season. Nobody really notices tactical innovations and without the right data it's impossible to compare to other teams.
No. 4 - Can you at least give Carlyle some credit?
He's brought along Nazem Kadri nicely. After Jeff posted his bit on centremen last week, Patrick Burke, son of Brian and President of You Can Play, stepped up and said that you can't just look at a player's goal-scoring or point-scoring rate over 15 minutes and pro-rate it to 20 minutes. That dragged into a long conversation.
He's exactly right, of course. Jeff wasn't necessarily doing that, but it's an interesting point to make and one that I think should be addressed.
This is all about Nazem Kadri naturally. There's some talk about Kadri's ice-time and how it's still hovering below 16 minutes most nights.
I looked at this somewhat with Cody Hodgson last season in Vancouver and found a "sweet spot" of minutes that was somewhere between his highest-deployed times and lowest-deployed times. The reality is that when you play more minutes, you run a greater risk of running into top defenders that Kadri has for the most part stayed away from this season. Splitting a 41-game sample in half isn't going to tell us much about how much ice-time is right for young players, but I absolutely buy what Patrick is selling in that just because Kadri is putting up high point totals in 14 or 15 minutes, doesn't mean the same rate will stretch to 19 or 20.
The way Carlyle has shown patience with Kadri is admirable.
No. 5 - Mark Fraser seems like a cool guy
You watch a feature like this and all of a sudden I feel bad for calling for the guy's removal from the lineup:
Sort of humanizing, isn't it? That's what access should be used for. Players are conditioned to say real boring things in post-game scrums but reporters like to parrot lines about chip-and-chase or playing the right way and pretend it's insider information. The best interviews are one-on-ones when there's no microphone to be seen. It's just two guys having a conversation. Elliotte Friedman can pull this off because Elliotte is an interesting guy who genuinely cares about the things that drive Mark Fraser.
You never really stop to think about guys who get thrown on the waiver wire monthly. There are a lot of replacement players in the NHL who never get a choice about where they play. It's a pretty awful system compared to baseball when players have a lot more leverage coming out of the draft. Fraser signed in New Jersey, was waived once in October 2011, another time in November 2011, was traded to Anaheim, waived again, traded to Toronto…
It's just part of the inner workings of the hockey sausage factory. It can take forever for a good, hard-working guy like Mark Fraser to get his big break, and then when he has a modicum of success, a bunch of asshole bloggers pop up and have the nerve to say he isn't as good as Jake Gardiner.
April 15 2013, 11:57AM
"Maybe other people are seeing it, but I'm not. I'd like to challenge anybody to find tangible differences between the Carlyle squad of this season and the first-half Ron Wilson squad of last season."
I don't have tangible evidence because this isn't a quantifiable element of the game, but I have noticed a significant difference in the way the two teams attack. Under RW, the rush seemed to be of more importance, and I feel like I remember more goals generated on breakaways or odd man rushes. Under Carlyle I think the team has operated more on a cycle offence, hinging upon work done along the half boards and effective D-to-D passes.
I could be wrong, but I feel as though that's the most significant change in gameplan. The penalty kill is obviously the most improved element between the two teams but I see that as testament to Reimer's growth and the acquisition of McClement more than any system Carlyle might have employed.
On Carlyle, I think there are more worthy Jack Adams candidates, but it won't be surprising if Carlyle gets a few votes.
It being the NHL Broadcasting Association that makes the call, it's tough to tell how each man and woman will go about deciding, and based on what model. But Carlyle has undoubtedly made the Toronto Maple Leafs his team, changing their strategies and the culture and he's done it all under immense pressure, sticking to his plan, believing in his way.
The Leafs are a damn good hockey team. How much of an impact Carlyle has made is up for debate, but many players have commented positively on his approach and his system. Is that just PR noise from players in interviews, or do they actually believe in him as their leader? You just try and look for clues and use your gut and mine says that he's worthy of some recognition.
you asked for a real difference so
3.12 goals for a game 2.63 goals allowed per game first time goals for has been above goals against since 2004 season last time leafs saw playoffs. The biggest differential since 2001 - 2002 and in this season the Leafs allowed 24 shots per game with 2.52 goals against. In what point in time since coaching Leafs did Wilson have such a huge differential.
Why is quality of shots more important then amount shots taken Leafs vs Montreal
Corsi says Montreal is far superior to Leafs. The scores and avg disagree with you. So you say Leafs are lucky lets look at it.
Montreal averaged 1.7 goals a game against leafs scoring 5%
Leafs average 3.75 goals against Montreal scoring 15%
All but 1 goal for montreal goals were outside the scoring area when you shoot from outside hot scoring areas dont expect goals. 7
All but 2 Leafs goals were inside scoring areas that's why there is so many goals. 15
These are fit to shots to goal ratio from each team. They shot their percentages.
Shooting from inside high scoring areas and scoring is a high probability, shooting outside scoring zone is low. This is the way it is if Montreal cant stop players in high scoring zone they have no chance in playoffs speed or not.
Its never been about how many shots just location of the shots Wilson's defense allowed them to walk right in to scoring areas and shoot. Carlyle system does not when it is implemented properly they are keeping shots outside scoring area, giving goalie chances to see puck. This is a must with this system.
It dont matter if we like it or approve of it does it work looking at the record and the G.A.A and GF I have to say it does.
The Leafs are still in development process and perfecting it. No camp, no preseason, getting players to buy into it, and work on the new system all on fly in game and remain competitive.
old leafs had 5 leafs inside the scoring zone. Puck goes into corner you had 5 guys on whatever side of ice the puck was on. 5 leafs 3 opposing umm forgetting about people? 3 players into corner to dig out a puck what? This has not been taught since 80s a mad rush dash to man point where was the strategy, 5 men on side opposing 3 into corner to get puck why all the defending players they dont realize 5 on 3 is a bad idea. They comeout of corner collapse infront of net. It wasn't like they had any organization. This is not a system of any sort.If your best strategy is to either collapse 5 men in scoring zone area or jam up one side you need a better system
Now players are spread out you got wingers up near point where they should be, center covering slot where he should be, Defencemen are actually being trusted more by the players are able to play infront of net and go to corners for puck. Now it's still in progress and will take time but their not all crowding the net all the time now. Which happened alot last season. Other then start of season I have yet to see players out of position constantly which I saw alot last season. Not do to the person it was the collapse system they were playing was garbage.
Now that their not all around the net there are chances to intercept cross ice passes. Blocked passes along the boards. Goalie can see shots very little screening this will continue to improve. If they cant learn to take care of their areas how can they even prevent shots.
It was an entire system problem not 1 or 2 people he had the whole entire team out of position. In other words his system sucked. This is just defensive.
I find that when systems are implemented I am the most amused and laughing and wishing them luck. Leaf fans like the crash and bash systems they want Elite players even if they wouldn't make any sense in the type of system, they want success but dont want to give up anything for it. They think for some reason its the GM's fault that player cant be landed in a sense it is. Player's are not stupid they know the type of system they want to be part of. Saying a system is going to be defensive and not implementing it throughout the organization your only kidding yourself. Your system has to be same in the entire organization or it wont work. The Leafs had one chance to do this perfectly if they made Dallas Eakins head coach, they didn't and unless Carlyle has spent alot of time watching and studying the Marlies system everything he does is only good for the players on current roster. So sit back be amused for a few yrs it will either fail due to lack of consistency in organization or succeed for same reason.
April 16 2013, 05:42AM
The only evidence I can point to is 5th in the conf and a magic number of 4 with the Peg. The rest are intangibles. Adding by subtracting, Komi out Fransson/Fraser in. Connely out, Kadri in, Lombardi, exiled to an oasis in the dessert, enter JVR. Kessel playing 200ft and still getting done on the scoresheet, Orr,Yes Orr throwing a check on Bernier in the 3rd (I think) to stop a scoring chance. The fact that Kadri says that Charyle communicates better then Wilson. Many players have said they didn't know where they stood with wilson. See Franson.C. There are many things that happen in a game that can't be quantified and measured. This team is better, for many reasons. Stats and advanced stats mean nothing if they are saying this team is no good when we are going to play hockey after gm. #48. Relax, I bought jinx insurance.
Totally agree. Advanced stats have much value and I think have an increasingly important place in analysis. But for those who use them exclusively and with hard-headedness to tote the line that Carlyle is horrible, the Leafs shouldn't be winning, and none of this success is sustainable, they look foolish right now and are not doing the advanced stat movement any favors with their unwillingness to admit there is more to hockey than math.
If you're going to predict that the sky is going to fall every morning for four months, and it doesn't, people stop listening.

Form AND Function!
"These are probably the most comfortable pair of heels I own- thicker heel, cushioned rubber sole, and not too high, but still very attractive. The grey is a sophisticated and professional shade, while the patent leather heel adds an elegant touch. I LOVE these shoes!"

Perfect winter shoe for Phoenix!
"Think of this as a short sleeve sweater. It looks very wintery, but yet has a peep toe. I used to think that such clothing types were contradictions, but I find that they are perfect for Phoenix's not so cold winters. The shoe itself is perfect for work and has a very business look to it, but I can see it casually worn with a with a sweater dress or jeans as well. I had them delivered to the office and all my co-workers were drooling! Just wait till I take them for a walk!"

Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Steve Diamond has named his side for Sunday afternoon's LV Cup Semi Final against Saracens.
Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Steve Diamond has named his side for Sunday afternoon's LV Cup Semi Final against Saracens.
The game is Saracens third trip to the stadium this season. They were our first opponents in the Aviva Premiership in September, which they won 23-16, but Sale Sharks beat Saracens 25-23 in the Group Stages of the LV Cup last November.
Meanwhile, Nick Auterac, Jamie George and Petrus du Plessis make up the Saracens front row while captain Nils Mordt and Ben Spencer are the half-back pairing.
Justin Melck continues his return from injury in the back row while Chris Wyles and Mouritz Botha are also in the side. Schalk Brits, Matt Stevens, Neil de Kock and Charlie Hodgson are among those named on the replacement's bench.
Saracens have won both league meetings between the two sides while a penalty kick proved to be the difference in Sale's favour in the LV=Cup pool game in Manchester earlier this season.
"We have reached this stage in the past and we have not progressed so we want to get into the final as this is a cup we have never won," said Saracens forwards coach Alex Sanderson.
"Going into the game it's important that we rely on of some of things that we have done well traditionally as a side. That's a strong defence, winning the territorial battle and taking the points when they are available.
"Sale are a very proud club and you expect them to compete, in every aspect and every phase of the game. It's going to be tough up there, but we are looking forward to it."
The teams:
Sale Sharks: 15 Cameron Shepherd, 14 Tom Brady, 13 Jonny Leota, 12 Nick Macleod, 11 Charlie Ingall, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Cillian Willis, 8 Andy Powell, 7 David Seymour, 6 James Gaskell, 5 Tom Holmes, 4 Fraser McKenzie, 3 Henry Thomas, 2 Tommy Taylor, 1 Ross Harrison.
Replacements: 16 Marc Jones, 17 Al Dickinson, 18 Tony Buckley, 19 Andrei Ostrikov, 20 James Doyle, 21 Nathan Fowles, 22 Sam James, 23 Will Addison.
Saracens: 15 Ben Ransom, 14 James Short, 13 Chris Wyles, 12 Adam Powell, 11 Joe Maddock, 10 Nils Mordt, 9 Ben Spencer, 8 Ernst Joubert, 7 Nick Fenton-Wells, 6 Justin Melck, 5 Mouritz Botha, 4 George Kruis, 3 Petrus du Plessis, 2 Jamie George, 1 Nick Auterac.
Replacements: 16 Schalk Brits, 17 Jared Saunders, 18 Matt Stevens, 19 Alistair Hargreaves, 20 Andy Saull, 21 Neil de Kock, 22 Charlie Hodgson, 23 Jack Wilson.
Date: Sunday, March 10

By DOUG PERRYCommunications DirectorUtah Association of Counties
Each year, counties across Utah dedicate a few days of the week to bring their residents together in celebration of what makes their county unique. Though the social benefits of the county fair help link the community together, other aspects of the fairs make them an invaluable investment.
Historically, county fairs provided a n opportunity for communities to come together near the time of harvest to exchange and barter for goods in preparation for the upcoming year. Today, county fairs fulfill a slightly different role, ranging from the sale of storage shelves to the showcasing of agricultural and artistic talents.
County fairs have been happening in Utah since before Utah received statehood in 1896. Each year the fairs are adapting to what will draw their residents to the festivities. From creative themes such as Davis County's "Start your own Love A-Fair" to Sevier County's "A Treasure Chest of Sevier County's Best," the marketing of these fairs showcase the time, planning and talent that goes into making each fair successful.
One of the most visible and celebrated elements of a county fair is the unity it helps to create among county residents. Despite a range of competitions where Utahns are placed head-to-head, at the end of the day there is a sense of pride and unity among neighbors.
County fairs also offer a variety of opportunities for residents and travelers to join together and celebrate life in their county with concerts, a rodeo and demolition derby, or grand fireworks displays. Whether watching rock crawlers at the Millard County Fair or the Dutch-oven cook-off at the Box Elder County Fair, each fair is a reflection of the culture and rich history of each Utah county.
The economic aspects of county fairs should not be overlooked. During the fair, residents from the county and beyond its borders will travel to attend the events, entertain family, or showcase their own work. For example, fairgoers will travel from Hyrum, Smithfield and Lewiston to attend the Cache County Fair in Logan. While visiting the fair, they will purchase items from local businesses, hotels and restaurants, thus contributing to the county's economy.
Overall, the county fairs taking place across Utah during the next few weeks are a wise investment. The numerous benefits earned for each county through the organization and execution of a well-planned event develops unity among residents, provides economic benefit to local businesses, and celebrates the rich history and culture of each county.

With an inimitable sense of timing and giving the slight feeling of a clearing of the desks before the holidays, the European Commission (EC) finally published its delegated acts (the Level 2 Regulation) under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) on 19 December 2012. The EU Parliament and the Council have three months to scrutinise the Regulation, but the likelihood of rejection by them seems low.
The Level 2 Regulation has had a turbulent ride to get to this point. Initial industry responses to the first draft identified several areas where the Commission's proposed rules differed substantially from the final advice from ESMA, which, if not ideal from industry's perspective, did at least reflect the product of a consultation process. The final Level 2 Regulation, while better in some areas than the initial draft is still not what industry would like or hoped for and still deviates from ESMA's technical advice in a number of key areas, notably on delegation, "letter-box entities" and depositary requirements.
However, absent some unforeseen event, it is now fairly locked in stone and those affected by AIFMD should assume they can now see the regulatory environment with which they're going to have to comply.

It seems we get an early subbed from Anime Crazy.

Early my ass they probably used the trans from the Official Subbed by Funi and just use them...
I am Shocked, I tell you....
Haha, the real question is how many of ya'll paused it when Luffy saw Boa naked.
That was priceless lol!
Anyways, amazing episode 10/10!

What I thought was the funniest part about the situation, both in the manga and now the anime, we have one of the most beautiful women shown so far in the series, topless and showing just about everything to Luffy, and he's more interested in chit-chatting about her past, and getting some food in his stomach!
I like Luffy's character. Oda's doing a good job. Though I don't think Boa x Luffy will happen. It was nice to see Fisher's Tiger face in color. Now if he really is dead or not is up to Oda. Maybe he faked his death so the WG won't be chasing him.

Really fights dandruff
Posted by ShokoFlomel on Feb 26, 2015
A really good and effective anti-dandruff shampoo. Every winter I have the same problem- dandruff. It happens because of woolen hats which I have to wear. I can't do without hats because our Russian winters are very cold and frosts are biting. Plus, severe weather conditions affect our immune system. So, here I am- with a hat and lots of dandruff. This shampoo solves the dandruff problem in an instant. After the first usage I paid attention to the fact that my dandruff had gone. So, the shampoo really fights dandruff. The hair after washing stays clean for 2 days. Not very long, of course, but not bad, actually. The only drawback is that you need pre-washing with this shampoo as it lathers really badly. And, perhaps, not everybody will like the smell- it is a little bit strong but for me it doesn't matter as long as it solves the dandruff problem.
Good stuff.
Posted by Reviewer1369200 on Jan 10, 2009
I been using for a couple of weeks, so far it seems to work better than any other dandruff control shampoo that iI have used.
Posted by Reviewer2884675 on Jan 20, 2013
Lo llevo usando dos semanas. Ya no me funcionaba ningún champú anticaspa y este la ha hecho desaparecer. El único problema que tiene es que le cuesta un poco hacer espuma, pero si te aseguras de tener el pelo bien mojado no hay problema. El olor es un poco raro, pero no permanece en el pelo. Me ha gustado tanto que ya tengo en camino otros productos de la marca para probarlos.
Mill Creek, Dandruff Control Shampoo

Dandruff appears again in 2-3 days, but just after washing it disappears absolutely!
Very good dandruff shampoo.
Posted by Reviewer2998504 on Apr 23, 2008
It works very nice.. i like it.
This didn't work for me
Posted by Reviewer1596347 on Mar 10, 2011
I bought this after reading the reviews but sadly it didnt work for me. I've been using this for about 2 months but see no results to-date. Didnt get rid of the dandruff. It's quite mild and i like that my scalp feels clean after using but i don't really care for the smell. Wouldn't buy this again.
Great ingredients
Posted by Sharpie on Dec 19, 2011
Smells a bit unusual, but one of the few shampoos I could find with absolutely no baddies in it so I'll still give it a 5. Works well, and no after smell.
great shampoo
Posted by 4897041006238789914 on Feb 02, 2014
I apologize in advance, translated from Russian to English via google. This is the best shampoo I've used over the past 15 years! Indicators are excellent. Has a masculine scent (remotely tar), I like, and some people may not like it. Poor foam, respectively for long hair will be a big expense. I've got a medium-length hair, I was more than happy with it. After washing your hair perfectly ukladyvayutsya and not thinned, and have their original natural look that I like about it.
