As published in Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research, elevated BMI is associated with fractures of the foot, ankle, knee, and leg (but not femur or hip) in children. In overweight, moderately obese, and extremely obese children, the ORs for fractures of the foot were 1.14, 1.23, and 1.42, respectively; fractures of the ankle, knee, and leg were 1.27, 1.28, and 1.51, respectively. Children 6-11 years of age were at highest risk.

Show/Tell/Share: We planned, we participated, we produced… Yes, we held a pilot to show "The Social Outfit celebrates the skills and styles of our diverse cultures in Australia" …
On Friday evening last week we closed the pop-up store, but not before some of our wonderful volunteers, (left to right) Antonia, Kit and Traci, drew out our lucky door prize winner. Oooo, something exciting is coming in the mail for them!
And on Saturday it was time for us to say goodbye to our The Rocks Pop-up space, and pack up our shop selling so many *great* goodies from The Social Studio. Well worth remembering too that this pilot was made possible in the first place thanks to the support of the City of Sydney Council, Community Grants program.
Packing up the pilot, which really was a display of the *hope* we have to set up full-time in Sydney, wasn't nearly as fun as setting up… especially peeling off decal letters individually!
But it's just 'bye-bye' to the pilot, because me and the whole The Social Outfit team plan on working just as hard to take our next steps forward in our development. In fact, we're holding more fashion-based arts workshops at the Asylum Seekers Centre in Newtown this week.
And that's because, as always, we remain committed to making The Social Outfit an ongoing reality here in NSW. As ever, I just want to keep "doing good in a fashion" and celebrating the skills and talents of people from refugee backgrounds living in greater Sydney… xo

The build infrastructure is not announced yet, so information here is speculative.
What is known:
As Maemo has had an old version of Debian as an upstream distribution, there have been lots of questions on what will be MeeGo's upstream, and why Maemo's relationship with Debian will be dropped. The answer is that MeeGo is an independent distribution : the only upstream is the projects included into MeeGo such as: kernel.org, X.org, Qt, etc. MeeGo policy is to push all bug fixes to upstream projects.
Why not be Debian-based? Having an upstream distribution has advantages and disadvantages.
The choice is to have no upstream for MeeGo. It makes it easier to tailor MeeGo for its target devices, which are quite specific compared to Debian's. Maybe the Debian rhythm of updates would also be inadequate for MeeGo (smartphone OSs are currently evolving at a very rapid pace, but there is more up-to-date Ubuntu and Debian is working on more frequent updates). The Moblin build tools would also not have been compatible with Debian as upstream (this is mostly nonsense, see Mer and OBS).
Nonetheless MeeGo will be Linux Standard Base (LSB) compliant and its specific components will probably be available in Debian at some point.
Evolving packaging guidelines...

Flute Grades, Which grade? |

As you may or may not know i have only been playing the flute for about a month or so but i can already play the stuff on the grade 5 list.
I don't see the point in going right from grade 1 on this and i have been told by music teacher and other flautist i have a really good sound already! Good enough for gd. 5 / 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Is it possible to do the Gd. 5 flute around the winter time? Teacher thinks this is achievable i'm not sure as never really skipped grades on other instruments. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) If so which pieces seem the nicest?! |

I taught someone who took and passed Grade 5 flute with 128 around four months after she first picked up a flute, so it's definitely possible. Her biggest problem was maintaining the embouchure through the length of the exam (although she had chosen the longest pieces), and in learning the scales in that short a time. She was a pianist and singer, though, rather than a woodwind player, so you should find the scales more straightforward.
I'd advise against too long a programme to save your embouchure, so avoid Dance of the Blessed Spirits. The Beethoven, either of the Mozart pieces or the Grieg would be good choices from List A. The Faure should be manageable from List B if your list A piece isn't too long, otherwise go for the RR Bennett (long, but lots of rests), the Berkeley or possibly the Bryan Kelly. All the studies are fine, but the Quantz is very 'notey' and probably best avoided. Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The Faure Siciliene is lovely (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
As for skipping grades , this is entirely possible . Though I would definitely explore more repetoire as you've only been playing for a month . Well done on reaching grade 5 within an month of playing !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Julie x |

Am gonna go for it in the winter.
I am playing lots of different repertoire i think this is one of the reasons i have progressed so fast yay! I am playing in a band and am enjoying that. Not sure what i'll play for the gd. 5 yet but got the sicilienne and really like it also i really like the rr bennett but i like his music any way!!! Thanks again |

I would say go for it. I took my grade 3 after 6 months and out of all the people (there were 3 Jenny's taking their grade 3 flute the same day with the same teacher!!) i was the one who my teacher was most concerned about because i had been playing the shortest time and it was a very much last minute thing. However i worked hard and passed with merit, getting higher than any of the others. If you are willing to put in the work then i'm sure you'll do well.

i did the faure, it wasn't too bad, not tooo long i dont think. The rumba was pretty easy once you get the rhythm, and its quite short too! The Handel sonatas were nice, but i'm not too sure about the length of them!

You might like to involve your accompanist in the final decision. I'm always delighted when someone opts for Siesta because it's got a very satisfying piano part as well as being a gorgeous piece as a whole, and it was actually written for flute and piano. A bit later on you will be able to enjoy the whole set of pieces - the last movement Games quotes from the first movement and Siesta but is quite a lot more technically demanding. Enjoy! |

I would recommend Faure Sicilienne. It's beautiful. I did it for my grade 5 on Guildhall in March 2005 and passed with honours. I also did Music Hall by Cecilia McDowall. It's a fun piece- comes from the Six Pastiches book and it has some nice pieces in it.

Not aimed at you in particular, but sometimes it's best not to rush through exams. Ok, you may be able to play the grade 5 pieces but may it not be best to do a lower grade, sort out technique, embouchure and play the pieces better?

Fair enough i see your point! i know i've not been playing flute for long but i can play gd. 6/7 standard stuff, teacher tells me emborchure (never been able to spell it!) is good enough for gd. 5/6 level! am so enjoying playing flute! wish i'd started it earlier!

Would agree with Beth here. I think its better, say, to attempt grade 4 with confidence, rather than try grade 5 with the thought in the back of your mind that you might not do as well. Welcome to the AB forum Beth, hope you enjoy using the various fora here! |

The crew members at The Electric Tour Company believe that San Francisco is the most fun town in the world, and that one of the best ways to explore its diverse streets are on unique vehicles such as the Segway and electric bikes. This led them to develop tours—for locals and tourists alike—which have attracted attention and praise from outlets such as Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and the Los Angeles Times. Atop the sturdy deck of an i2 Segway, groups wheel past famed sights including Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz prison, and the city's notoriously hilly streets. Night tours facilitate a deeper exploration of neighborhoods such as Little Italy and Chinatown, and electric-bike tours whizz straight over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Led by local historian Rick Evans, guide of the SF Weekly's Best Walking Tour of 2009, the Chinatown walking tour escorts guests through a complex and densely populated neighborhood with an engaging narrative about its rich history. Urban explorers weave their way down narrow alleys and across plazas, discovering the area's charms and the Chinese community's role in the growth of San Francisco and the state. The seasoned tour guide regales groups of no more than six with insightful tales of the oldest Chinatown in North America bolstered by years of experience and a storytelling degree from the Mother Goose Technical Institute. Highlights of the tour include visits to the Street of Painted Balconies, a colorful, crowded street saturated with international flags and upstairs temples, and a cathedral completed during the Gold Rush in 1854, which was recognized as the first Roman Catholic church on the West Coast. The one-mile trek makes stops at a fortune-cookie factory—to watch cookies cool, harden, and form their all-knowing cores—and the neighborhood's oldest herbal shop, which is stocked with Chinese medicine and tongue depressors.
The many stigmas surrounding the sluggishness and spitball susceptibility of school buses and public transit are rendered inane by the sleek comforts of Blue Groundways' buses. Each Blue Groundways bus is an indulgence-vessel on six wheels, offering the musicality of Sirius satellite radio, the connection of on-board WiFi, five-star service from friendly attendants, beverages to hydrate your journey, and the most recent movie releases played on a slick video system. Scheduled routes include a Friday ride that starts in Santa Rosa and travels along Route 42 to Petaluma and Sacramento before arriving in Lake Tahoe and then later in Reno, returning back home on Sundays. The San Francisco to Reno route leaves on Fridays and Sundays with return trips on Saturdays and Sundays, making stops in both Lake Tahoe and Sacramento. Check out the route map for pick-up locations.
In the past five years, City Sightseeing tour company has shuttled 1.5 million passengers around San Francisco in signature double-decker, open-top tour buses. Within the city itself, four different routes wend through various neighborhoods and past iconic landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Danny Tanner's favorite grocery store. Outside the city, tours also run to Muir Woods, wine country, the picturesque towns of Monterey and Carmel, and Yosemite National Park.
Mr. Toad specializes in small, personalized tours that offer a better overview of the bay area than the Full House intro. Instead of the modern vehicles frequently sighted touring urban landscapes, Toad tours take place in pre-1930s vehicles that run on propane, the power behind grills and floating cities. The nimble rides can easily navigate the hilly cityscape along the route.
The history of wine in the Livermore Valley spans 250 years. Spanish missionaries planted the region's first grapes in the 18th century, and Robert Livermore sowed the first commercial vines in the mid-19th. These early efforts led to America's first international gold medal for wine at the 1889 Paris Exposition, when California grapes beat out bordeaux in the annual race to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
The guides at Livermore Valley Wine & Cycle Tours lead cyclists into this historic, scenic valley in which some 40 wineries currently reside. Rides between them follow moderate routes, letting peddlers soak in views of the canyons and ridges that rise and fall between the clustered rows of vines.

....how do i get a swap spot here?.... I loved the show last year!....moar info please
You might want to go back and and spell all your sponsors names right, they are after all helping to fund this..
This is on my birthday. im in
So question came up on the samba
what is the hieght restrictions ?
The signs say 6ft 11 inches , althought it seemed higher in many spots .We also have several normal parking lots . Swap will be on floors 2 and 3 , car show is on 1st floor , and yes there are elevators.
Registration will open March 18th - same day at the XXX GTG .
So if I understand it correctly, it'd be $10 total to get in ($5 for parking and $5 entry)? Super glad this is on a sunda since I work Saturdays!
$5 per person to get in
$5 per car to park ( with funds going to support local charity)
So what new for this week.
We stopped by the venue last night to look at locations for cars show and have moved to floor two to provide more space. Vendors and sponsors will move there as well.
We'll have over 350 swap spaces starting at $10 each.
Clubs can ask for pre arranged parking of 10-15 spaces all so.
We have asked to increase our restroom trailers so lines will be smaller ,,but still the nicest you have ever seen a cars show in PNW.
We might have a new sponsor vendor who is large classic car insurance who i personally use for my 6 bikes and cars that are parked more driven.
We are wating on samples for the new show shirt and classic hoodie
Also we are looking for a local charity to support the parking . must be a washington legal charity and have min 12 people to support parking. Really would love a father son football\soccer\bassball league or school \ church.
I just got back into the air-cooled and I am stoked to bring my Riviera out and get to see what else is in the area.

So whats new ?
Pre-sale of our hoodies are on sale right now for $30 so get in while we have some.
Order then and a lot of other fun things here

In the economic and community development world, something known as Microenterprise has become all the rage. There are an estimated ten million microentrepreneurs in the United States today, and the number is growing along with lenders and assistance programs to help them. Microentrepreneurs come from all walks of life—people seeking to start businesses or to use existing skills toward supplementing their incomes. These business people offer services ranging from car repair to day care programs, and products ranging from specialty foods to clothing.
In many successful microenterprise programs it all begins with business training and investment in ordinary people in a place called a "business incubator." While this may conjure up some wild images, a business incubator is simply a place where microentrepreneurs go to grow their business. Incubators provide space to work, and supply services such as technical support, telephone, office equipment such as computers and copiers, and most important, an environment that is conducive to success.
While microenterprise is a common outlet for progressive or displaced workers, development really shines for those who are disadvantaged—and located in minority communities that are seeking to renew themselves. Self employment is one way to earn extra income to supplement low wages typical for those lacking a college degree. Women with families choose self employment for the flexibility they need to balance home and work responsibilities. Individuals with disabilities find economic independence through business ownership. And most importantly, for many low income people, microenterprise offers the chance to use talents, realize suppressed dreams and find fulfillment that is rarely possible with their options in the current labor market.

FRANKFORT — It's time to put on your old blue jeans and work boots and participate in this year's Commonwealth Cleanup Week March 16-23.
Volunteers from across Kentucky are set to fill trash bags and pick up old tires during the 15th annual event.
The week-long initiative is implemented by the Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC) and kicks off the Great American Cleanup, which spans from March through May. Its purpose is to provide Kentucky communities with an opportunity to "spring clean," recycle and promote personal responsibility across the commonwealth.
EEC Secretary Len Peters said Commonwealth Cleanup Week encourages Kentuckians to take ownership of their communities' environment. "I am impressed each year with the number of Kentuckians who participate in this annual event. Thousands give their time to numerous cleanup projects, picking up litter and trash from our roadways, valley and streams, and recycling where possible."
During the 2012 cleanup week, more than 28,000 Kentuckians picked up 65,392 bags of trash and 6,053 tires along 5,546 miles of roadway. In addition, these same volunteers cleaned 12 illegal dumps.
Kentucky Educational Television (KET) once again will promote this year's event, and Kentucky Life host Dave Shuffett will be taping a special "Dave Does It" segment during Commonwealth Cleanup Week.
In addition, Clark County solid waste coordinator and songwriter Gary Epperson, has penned a song, "Bluegrass is Going Green," with a voiceover featuring Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear to be used in public service announcements. You can see the PSA online at http://waste.ky.gov/RLA/Pages/CCW.aspx.
Heidi Douglas Greer with the Kentucky Mountain Trio, a group of young musicians from McCreary and Whitley counties, add their voices to the production. Greer also has another environmental litter awareness music video, Please Don't Litter, which is currently being used around the country for litter abatement awareness campaigns. You can see an example on the Keep Michigan Beautiful's website at www.keepmichiganbeautiful.org.
"We need every citizen, business, school, government body and organization to join together as one team with a mission that together is our only chance to ever 'Get and Keep our Beautiful Bluegrass State of Kentucky Clean and Green,'" said Epperson.
Nonprofit groups that register with their county solid waste coordinator and complete a Commonwealth Cleanup Week cleanup are eligible to win one of six $100 cash prizes in a random drawing to be held in May.
Bell County Solid Waste will participate beginning Monday. Hours will be extended daily through Friday until 5 p.m. The Transfer Station will be open for the public from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on March 24.
All households are encouraged to participate in cleanup efforts during the week. Residents of Bell County may dump at the Transfer Station free of charge for cleanup during this time. There is however a charge for building material such as shingles, wood, lumber, sheet rock, tires, gas tanks, carpet, etc.
Non-profit groups will be eligible for a random drawing for one of six cash prizes. Eligible groups include civic, religious, charitable organizations and other non-profit groups. Non-profit groups should pick up survey forms at the solid waste office, select a project, complete the project and submit the survey form back to the solid waste coordinator to be signed to be eligible for the prize drawing.

It's not exactly the Miracle on 34th Street, but it certainly is story that needs to be told this time of year. It's a story played out in far too many homes and the innocent victims are often times children who should be excited about spending time with their family.
Children who have been displaced during the Christmas holiday due to domestic violence in their homes, will enjoy a peaceful event this year. The staff at the Durant Crisis Center has shifted into high gear to make this Christmas one the children will always remember.
For many of these children who have lived their young lives in an abusive environment, this may be the first time they actually learn the true meaning of Christmas. With help from the staff, they have all written letters to Santa and decorated a tree themselves. They will also put out cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas Eve.
Santa came to the shelter earlier to make sure the children knew he would be making his rounds and was aware they were in a new home. Tomorrow night his sleigh equipped with the latest version of GPS will show up on the rooftop of the shelter although it is in a secret location for the protection of the victims
"If it wasn't for our great community these kiddos wouldn't have a normal Christmas," said Anna Marcy, an advocate at the center. "It is donations from everyone that makes it so wonderful. We couldn't make it without them."
The shelter first opened here in 1985 because there was a need to provide a safe place for women and children living in an abusive situation and had no place to go. Former Assistant District Attorney Theresa McGehee and Norita Walker, executive director at the center, were able to get community support and the first shelter was opened. Operating on a shoestring budget, Walker worked as an unpaid volunteer until it received government funding. The program has continued to serve the community for the past 27 years and three years ago moved into a new building at a secret location.
There are now eight employees who provide a range of activities to help victims through not only a recent violent confrontation, but how to avoid the cycle. Since it is considered an emergency shelter, the stay for victims is limited to 30 days, but that can be extended depending on the circumstances. While they are there various staff help them with finding employment, getting social services, assisting with legal matters and provide security by maintaining 24 hour staffing at the shelter.
It isn't clear if the number of abuse cases has risen recently or if the outreach they are doing now is finding the problem before it becomes violent. There are 29 certified domestic violence centers in the state and more victims are realizing they don't have to live in that environment. Marcy is the non-residential advocate who works with victims when a potential problem occurs. As state and federal funding is cut back each year the shelter will have to depend more on local support. They are a United Way agency but to maintain the level of support additional help will be required.
Domestic abuse is no longer a hidden plague upon women who in the past were forced, along with their children to live in fear with no safe haven or support system in place. While there are still those at risk, the ones who have found shelter and protection will be able to have a peaceful holiday thanks to the community support and staff at the Durant Crisis Center.

Whitney-Fan.com Moderators
Posted 15 September 2007 - 04:28 PM
::Lights dim. Introduction to "My Love Is Your Love" begins to play.::
He's been with us from the beginning, he has run two different fan sites over the years, and he is level-headed and thoroughly dedicated to Whitney Houston and this site. I could think of no one better suited to run a future spinoff site that will operate in conjunction with the rest of Whitney-Fan.com than our very own ... Mind Speaker! Larry will run the spinoff site, but please don't ask him what it is, because he won't tell you yet! LOL
He's been banned from the board three times (none by me). He has a posting record that is second to only one. Some people say he lives at Whitney-Fan.com. He's a banner designer extraordinaire and BBS entertainer, and he somehow managed to get married, have a baby and post at the same time. You guessed it! The main BBS now has a new moderator ... the one and only Terrence! But Terrence will not be alone. He will have a partner in crime. Mind Speaker will also serve as co-moderator of the main forum.
Our next moderator will be managing a new forum dedicated to graphics design called the Whitney-Fan.com Design Lab. It will be a central location where you can discuss banners, preview your ideas, post tips and tutorials, and let your creativity run free! I'm hoping it will become a place where everyone can work together to really expand their abilities. While you'll still be able to debut your banners in the main forum, this graphics forum will give you a lot more room to play with, and I hope you'll use it. Besides banners, it can also be a design center for avatars, icons, smileys, wallpaper, member requests and more! To manage this forum, I have selected the fabulous banner designer Clemsonfight!
Our blogs moderator can spot an obscure Whitney Houston poll or link in a single bound. For moderating our personal blogs, I need someone with eagle eyes, who will pay attention to small things and have enough political sensitivity to notice items that might be offensive, racist, et al. Please welcome PontusFromSweden as our blogs moderator!
Our personal galleries also need to be reviewed for potentially offensive photos (racist, sexist, etc.) To take on this important job, I have enlisted our very own Kevin as our galleries moderator! As a member for the past year, he has made a name for himself as a prolific banner designer and Whitney Houston fanatic. He'll be in charge of making sure offensive photos do not get to share a URL with Whitney-Fan.com.
Please congratulate the moderating team, and go easy on everyone as they adjust to their new roles! We are all here to help. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, and to everyone on the team! There will be more opportunities to help in the future.

And to the 97,000 calls I've received about the spinoff site, just let you all know that I can't say a thing...the amount of money you all are offering me to talk has been far too little. Add a few more zeroes, then we can talk.

Very nice, newer hotel. Very clean and quiet. Staff was very helpful and courteous. I recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Oroville.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Excellent place to stay"
The entire hotel was clean and well maintained. Rooms were clean and quiet. We didn't have time to use the ppol/spa, but we passed by and could see it was also very well kept. The complimentary breakfast was better than most - complete with scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and sausage gravy, yogurt, cereal etc, etc, etc... the favorite was the pancake […] machine - just push a button and within a minute you have 2 pancakes on your plate! Staff was polite and cheerful and handled requests cheerfully. One of the best hotel stays I've had in quite a while. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

Friendly front desk, knowledgable staff for dining out, nice breakfast served and again very friendly lady working the kitchen on Friday. She had a son playing in the Oroville H. S. basketball tournament also. She helped out with directions to the tangerine farms and sites around town. I would refer this hotel to others. If you are a lite sleeper ask […] for a room on the back side, lots of older cars/hot rods going down the the main drag, but, didn't bother me. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Great choice for Oroville area"
Big clean rooms; microwave and fridge in room; excellent free breakfast had eggs and biscuits every day, bacon one day. Had to call front desk to get room cleaned but they responded promptly. I would definitely stay here again for business or pleasure.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

Pros:Extremely clean. Complete breakfast. Nice staff. Cons: Sunday morning must make sure to have pool towels ready by the pool, extra coffee. Coffee ran out around 10:00 on Sunday. Also no free tv channels to watch.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

Very enjoyable. No problems. Close to several eateries. Pool is very good.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Would stay again."
Nice room! Stayed in the 'executive' king room that was a regular room on the bottom floor. Very comfortable bed. Loved the shower. Wi-Fi free and worked fine. Didn't leave the room until 1:00 pm one day and it was perfectly restored when we returned. Desk clerks were very informative about the area. Two blocks off the interstate but not too close to […] hear traffic. Sonic Drive-In and another hotel are right next door and you would never know. Wal-Mart one block away. Hotel is on the main drag so close to most everything. Minutes away from both casinos and the lake. First time to Oroville and the hotel was the best thing going. Breakfast buffet was more than adequate but needed more fresh items beside bananas. Would stay here again IF I were to ever return to Oroville. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Looks brand new"
On a recent trip to Chico we stayed at this Holiday Inn Express. Although it was a bit farther from Chico than we would have liked the hotel was a great place to stay. The bed was very comfortable - no the expensive memory foam type - but comfortable. The hotel and our room was very clean and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The room had a small […] fridge and microwave. The flat screen and directv was a nice touch. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

My husband has stayed at this hotel before but I haven't. I really hate staying anywhere but home.

Law enforcement to beef up patrols over St. Paddy's Day weekend
By: Heather Sawaski
Updated: March 14, 2013
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. While local bars and restaurants are hoping the holiday brings a lot of green to their cash registers, area law enforcement are prepping for a busy weekend.
St. Brendan's Inn in downtown Green Bay serves a traditional Irish menu all year round, but come mid-March....
"We have 600 pounds of corned beef in the back so hopefully that's enough," said Assistant General Manager Dan Joppe.
Joppe said St. Patrick's Day is by far their busiest day of the year.
"Guinness, I will have 35 half barrels on hand," he said. "And if we do happen to run out, I have people backing me up so I just need to make a call."
Since this year's holiday falls on a Sunday, Joppe's anticipating a weekend-long celebration, complete with live music, food and plenty of drinks.
If you plan on partaking in any of the festivities, officials say plan ahead. All six OWI Task Forces in northeast Wisconsin will be out looking for drunk drivers
According to Captain Randy Schultz, with the Brown County Sheriff's Department, expect to encounter extra officers out on the roads all weekend.
"Starting Thursday already and through Sunday we'll also have extra individuals patrolling, not only for OWI, but seat belts, speed, those kind of things," Capt. Schultz explained. "So that we can keep the presence up because historically it's a much busier and potentially dangerous weekend for motorists."
They are dangers Capt. Schultz calls completely preventable.
"Be patient, be considerate, plan in advance, have a good time and everybody will be fine," he added.
Back at St. Brendan's, security staff will be on making sure no one is underage or over-served.
"We haven't had problems in the past," said Joppe. "People have been very responsible so we hope that trend continues."

True enough, what's the deal w/ Chase? Is he signed or did we cut him? Hall said he would restructure but I just don't see him taking vet minimum. I liked what I saw out of the young corners late. I refuse to believe Williams returns next season. I understand we need to upgrade the secondary but if we get Rak and Carriker back. That alleviates a lot of those problems as well as allows the secondary to mesh over the season as opposed to the trail by fire method we were forced into this season. The Merling pick up doesn't excite me. He was in the same draft class as Rak and Calais Campbell. There was a lot if hype surrounding us and that pick.

Through the heartache and pain. Here I remain, A Skinz fan for life....
Chase was signed as an UDFA. He was released, cleared waivers, then signed and put on IR. So he'll be back next season.
I agree that Rak and Carriker coming back will help. And average safety play would've made this defense better. Have a pass rush and penetrating linemen will be good as well.
I'm not making a lot of the Merling pick either. But it never hurts to have competition. I think the weakness of the defensive line was Kedric Golston. I mentioned earlier that I'd love to move Cofield to DE and let Baker and Neild (if healthy) both stay and rotate at NT.
I'd have two lines, and Golston would be the odd man out.
DE Jenkins
NT Baker
DE Bowen
DE Carriker
NT Neild
DE Cofield
I just think those are both starting caliber lines and would make for a good rotation. I was skeptical of Cofield at the Nose until the second half of the season, but he still lacks the push and control that the Pocono Punisher and the Tidewater Terror have.
EDIT: And I agree with LAX, no chance Hall takes vet minimum, lol. Nor should he. He deserves about 4-5 mil a year... not 8 with 3 and a hook worth of incentives.
---------- Post added January-12th-2013 at 09:35 PM ----------
I don't think vet minimum would've covered all of his fines for this year hahaha.

I want to improve the pass rush.
When I look at the draft, I see the ability to improve the secondary, specifically the safeties, throughout the 2nd to 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds.
I put up a mock in the comprehensive that is geared toward using the draft for the secondary - with the thought process that I could impact the pass rush the most in Free Agency.
I have a much tougher time finding an impact pass rushing defensive lineman in the draft (in general), who can play in a 3-4, not only 2-gap but likewise actually rush the passer and successfully sack a QB time and again.
I find that the numbers favor the secondary in the draft. Just more players, more impact guys later, more chances in later rounds, just more opportunities to improve the team in the draft at Safety and CB. (Lesser contracts too).
For Free Agency, the defensive lineman I'm looking for is someone more athletic than the standard Shanahan defensive lineman who's big and slow and just bases out in 2-gap.
I want to have the most complete 5-Tech possible, but one shaded to the side of pass rushing. He has to be able to get to the QB but FINISH.
Someone able to not only put pressure on, hurry, the opposing QB but someone who can actually finish the play with a sack. Bowen could get there from time to time, but he couldn't consistently finish the play with a sack. All too often he would get sidestepped and not impact the outcome of the play.
Versus the run, we've got plenty of guys who are just right at getting their arms out, hands into the o-line, dancing and playing 2 gaps and stopping the run. That's not the issue.
The issue is pass rush.
The best d-lineman we have is Cofield, hands down. He's the most disruptive.
I want to complement him. My guy is Henry Melton.
It was painfully obvious the lack of pressure that the defense was producing throughout the year. Opposing QBs had so much time - 5, 6, 7 or more seconds to just extend a play, dance and find a receiver who broke off a route.
I see Melton as scheme diverse and an immediate impact d-line player.
I guess I could summarize it like this:
Since there is no 1st round selection and since that selection generally is hoped to be an immediate impact, starter, type player, additionally since no contract is being handed out that 1st round player, then in lieu of that, use that money otherwise dedicated to the 1st round player (whom does not exist) and use free agency for that 1 player, that 1 immediate starter to make the biggest impact on the team.
To me that focus needs to be on the defense.
One could easily argue it needs to be focused on Safety. I feel that way too. But with the cap sanctions, I'm working with the idea that we have to ... wish for that one nice present rather than handful of gift cards.
I don't have a problem with focusing on Safety, other than the fact that most of the guys we have identified as surefire impact, starter types - like Quin or Byrd - are going to be damn hard to corral. There's going to be huge competition for them and a large paycheck.
Shanahan has shown that he will shop down-market more often than not. This is where I think the team could go for a mid-level safety in free agency. Perhaps that someone has had some injury history, so that the contract is minimal.
I would also assume that the guys we have floating around our organization will come back to at least "compete" - like Merriweather and Jackson (possibly) along with our Fav' Doughty and Co.
Again, I say push the secondary to the draft and open up competition with what existing on the roster and add in new young blood from the draft: Phillip Thomas, Will Davis, Micah Hyde, etc.
Maybe Rambo or Vaccaro fall to the end of the 2nd for the Skins, who knows.
Anyway, (just briefly) I mentioned Paul Kruger in the comprehensive. I'll just say that my suspicion is that Shanahan stays with Orakpo (just like he did with Brown) and allow him to comeback from injury to compete. With the emergence of Rob Jackson, I just can't imagine shanahan willing to hand out a starter's contract to Kruger while also having Orakpo on the roster.
Something would have to give.
Personally, I worry about Po's longterm viability and I like Kruger a ton. I'd make the move to get him myself, but I wouldn't know what to do with Po.
In summation, my attack would be free agency used to improve the pass rush with a starter. Maybe add another player for competition to the secondary - not a big name though. Also add fairly no-name guys for depth and completion across the board.
The offseason roster balloons to 90 players.
Use the draft to focus on the secondary early on (2nd & 3rd round). I'd prioritize BPA along CB and Free Safety. I'm looking at a few tackles, guys like Brian Winters might be had in the 3rd round. I'd let Compton fight it out for RT with ... yes I would possibly consider re-signing Polumbus, but I'd add a Tackle at some point to the mix as well.
Only if by some crazy feat were a substantially signification Tackle to fall into our laps in the 2nd round would I prioritize that first. The fact of the matter is that Lewan and Matthews decided to go back to school and that has rocked the Tackle class.
Guys who otherwise would have gone in the 2nd or 3rd are now pushing up into the 1st round and early 2nd.
http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5181/paul-kruger | Paul Kruger: Roto
According to CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora, impending free agent OLB Paul Kruger is seeking around $8 million per year in his next contract.Kruger fired his agents this week and is expected to sign with a major firm after posting career highs in tackles (42) and sacks (nine) this past season. With Ed Reed, Cary Williams, and ILB Dannell Ellerbe also scheduled for free agency, the Ravens aren't likely to get into a bidding war to re-sign Kruger, and appear set to let him test the open market. Kruger made just $615,000 in 2012, the final year of his rookie contract.
Jan 12 - 8:46 PM
OLB Coach for the 3x State Champs: 2001, 2002, 2008 Atlantic Shores Seahawks2012 Final Record: 2-9
That's the thing though. Shanahan will make the play for the least financial commitment. That means sticking with him.
Po will be in a contract year in '13. I'm sure Orakpo will be back and will at least compete and probably play. It's just me probably, but I don't like the injury history on that pec.
He's scheduled to make:
2013: $2.81 million (+ $884,000 workout bonus),
2014: Free Agent
That's a far cry from the estimated 8 million roto just speculated with on Kruger. And could you imagine the outcry from the bourgeois segment of the fanbase? To preemptive toss Rak to the side for a splash free agent from Baltimore. The average fan would be pissed.
It's not likely at all, at least to me.
Shanahan will stick with Orakpo and we'll see if his pec holds up. Maybe it does, maybe not. I mean shanahan stuck with Brown throughout his injury. And one could argue that he stuck with Brown too long, that shanahan was too loyal to see if he could come back, when time and again that hip was toast.
There are a few people in here saying we should sign this guy and that guy. Well we need to worry about resigning a few of our players like Jackson and Davis. I say sign the guys we want to keep. Maybe sign one or two free agents and draft the rest of our players. We've been doing good in the draft the last few years and that's what makes good teams great. I know we don't have a 1st round pick, but I believe we can find a lot of talent with the rest of our picks.
The contract number is my key concern with guys in the front 7 who we might try to sign. I would love to get Kruger and Melton, and really have a monster pass rush with great depth, but I just can't see it being practical with our cap penalty, and even without the penalty that would tie a lot of money up the DT/DE/OLB group. If Kruger ultimately gets anywhere close to 8M, he's sadly well out of our price range.
I suppose if Rak isn't healthy, then it makes sense to chase another guy, but Rak is only due something like 2M, so Kruger would cost several million more minimum. I want a dominant pass rush, nothing is better than watching our front 7 (and back 4), drag QBs to their knees, but at the very minimum we need a new safety, and should probably add a RT who can actually pass block, especially if several of the top draft prospects bail. We might have to place our hopes in Rak and Carriker coming back, and Jenkins continuing to develop.
Another problem is ILB. If Fletcher declines and Robinson doesn't develop we're really going to be stuck. If we somehow did the McIntosh->Riley thing with Fletcher->Robinson this year, that would be good, but that's iffy. Frankly, I'm more worried about ILB than OLB or DE or DT. Neild and Baker will be back at NT next year, so we might be able to kick Cofield outside, and between him, Bowen, Carriker, and Jenkins, I think we'll have a solid rotation.
I really do hate that cap penalty. Without that, combined with some restructuring, we could hit all the weak spots, RT, S, CB, DE, OLB, maybe even WR, but picking and choosing sucks.

The Cap penalty is not nearly the same factor it was last year. Just backload all the deals. It is a lot easier to maneuver around 1 year than 2. Especially considering that we don't have 1st round picks to pay for the next 2 years it shouldn't be hard.
It's still 18M. Unless top FAs are taking IOUs, we still need to dish out some cash for them this year.
Especially because the last thing we want to do is backload a bunch of deals and then find ourselves in cap hell for several years when the money comes due. We've already got some backloaded deals right now like Garcon.
I'm always suspicious about players putting up big stats just before a contract year, reminds me of Haintworth.

Duchess meets female Saudi MPs
11:20am Saturday 16th March 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall arrive to meet MPs at the Shura parliament building in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia
The Duchess of Cornwall has met some of the first ever Saudi Arabian female members of parliament.
Greeting them at the lavishly decorated Majlis Ash Shura, she said: "Beneath all those pretty smiles there are a lot of very powerful women here."
Camilla was later joined by the Prince of Wales as they were given a tour of the gold encrusted parliament building in Riyadh.
Hanan Al Ahmadi, one of the female members, told the Duchess her visit was an endorsement of what they were doing.
"We have been waiting for this for a very long time," she said.
"It is an emotional and very proud moment for us and carries a great deal of responsibility.
"You coming here to meet us is an endorsement of what is happening here."
The Duchess replied: "I am so impressed. You are all so clever and well-educated and are blazing such a trail."
Earlier in the day Charles visited a military event, at the headquarters of the Saudi national guard, where he was given a guard of honour before meeting senior military figures.

How close did China's men come to getting beaten in Monday's table tennis semifinal against Germany? So close that coach Liu Guoliang made a confession. "I was very nervous during the match," he said. That's a big deal. Liu doesn't reveal much, particularly to non-Chinese reporters. Gold-medal singles champion Zhang Jike also acknowledged having butterflies in a match China eventually won 3-1. Zhang also dropped his guard when pressed.
