Lorazepam is a sedative drug in the benzodiazepine class. It is marketed under various brand names, including Ativan and Temesta, and is approved for short-term treatment of insomnia and anxiety. Lorazepam works by depressing the central nervous system, making it very dangerous to combine with alcohol or other depressant medications.
Depressant Medications and Lorazepam
Lorazepam and other benzodiazepine drugs are sedatives which affect neurotransmitters and slow down the brain and nervous system. Other well-known drugs in the benzodiazepine class are diazepam (Valium) and alprazolam (Xanax). Lorazepam and other benzodiazepines are central nervous system depressants. It's very dangerous to take multiple benzodiazepines or combine them with other depressant medications, because the effect is synergistic and the combination can be fatal. Depressants include:
- Alcohol
- Opioid drugs such as heroin, morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl
- Sleeping pills
- Barbiturates such as mephobarbital and pentobarbital sodium
- Antihistamines
- Antipsychotics
- Beta blockers
- Muscle relaxers
Taking lorazepam with any drug which causes drowsiness will enhance the sedative effects of both.
Combining Lorazepam with Alcohol
Combining lorazepam with alcohol has unwanted effects such as the following:
- Slowed breathing
- Slowed heart rate
- Amnesia
- Stronger disinhibition
Those who are undergoing treatment for alcohol addiction are sometimes prescribed lorazepam to treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and panic attacks. Lorazepam may also be useful in preventing withdrawal-related seizures. Because lorazepam is highly addictive and because the risks of combining lorazepam with alcohol are so high, clinicians using the drug generally prescribe it for a very short time and only in a residential treatment setting.

Tick Tock, Crazy Clocks
So picture this: I'm walking down the halls of Ford House Office Building to attend a meeting at the Committee on Homeland Security when all of a sudden I hear the loudest, most obnoxious fog horn sound throughout the entire building (so I may be exaggerating a little, but it was loud!). My elementary school education of emergency drills kicked in and my first instinct was to duck for cover, we must be under attack right? Wrong! As I stood there frozen in mid stance, I glanced around to see Capitol Hill busy-bees still going along at their frantic pace. Ok, I thought, I must be hearing things. Then it happened again, and again. At this point I pulled in my pride of appearing like a tourist on the Hill and I asked someone about the sounds. The woman nonchalantly points up to one of the clocks and said "they're voting." I had to reel in my diarrhea mouth and not say, "who's voting, what's voting, how does the clock know!!" Instead I just stood there watching the clocks light up and beep at, what seemed to me, like random intervals. Little did I know, these clocks everywhere on Capitol Hill have an intricate system of communicating the parliamentary traffic on the House and Senate floors to the Hill staff.
They were designed in a time before BlackBerrys and the internet ruled the Hill. Capitol Hill is a fairly large place, and members are spread out in all different directions. The clocks served as their "messengers," per say, informing everyone of what the House and Senate were doing. The system is entirely too complex for me to relay here, but I'll give you a gist of the mystery behind the clocks. For example, one long bell signals a quorum call. But if you have 1 long bell, a pause, 3 bells, followed by 3 lights on the left of the clock that means there is a short quorum call that ends when 100 or more Members are present. A fun one is 12 rings every two seconds with six lights on the left of the clock-That's a civil defense warning! And it just goes on and on from there with more lights and more bells. I was fascinated to discover the secrets behind the enigmatic clocks throughout the Hill. It makes me wonder though, how many Members on the Hill do you think know all the codes behind the bells and lights? I'd be curious to find out.

Verizon Wireless customers in Erath County, Texas can now send a short message service (SMS) text message to 911 for emergency help when unable to make a 911 voice call. This service will be available to any Verizon Wireless customer within range of a Erath County, Texas cell tower. Text to 911 is intended primarily for use in two emergency scenarios: for an individual who is hearing impaired and for a person who is unable to make a voice call, for example during a medical emergency that renders the person incapable of speech, or in the instance of a home invasion or abduction.
"Verizon Wireless and TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) have been at the forefront of working with public safety stakeholders to bring text to 911 to our customers," said Richard Craig, director of engineering for Verizon Wireless. "The SMS9l l National Gateway enables us to bring reliable emergency communications to public safety answering points (PSAPs) across the country. We were proud to work alongside the North Central Texas Council of Government and TCS, to deploy this new solution."
Important information for Verizon Wireless customers in Erath County, Texas Verizon Wireless customers in Erath County, Texas should keep the following in mind if they send a text to 911:
About the SMS Solution The Verizon Wireless SMS91 l National Gateway has three text to 911 delivery options: a web browser solution known as GEM91 l ™ for PSAPs (public safety answering points) with Internet access and web browser capability; a Direct IP solution for next-generation IP-enabled PSAPs with call-taker workstations that have integrated text handling software; and an SMS to TTY solution for legacy PSAPs.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments Regional 9-1-1 Program Public Safety Points, the City of Stephenville Communications Centers joins the ranks of many PSAPs to use the SMS911 gateway; a significant step in making text to 911 available more broadly. The deployment follows the recent announcement earlier this year from Verizon Wireless and TCS (NASDAQ: TSYS) that they are making a national text to 911 solution available.

The Weekly Five For November 9th, 2012 - Chris Harris Delta Wing, 6 Second GTR, ZR1 vs Turbo 5.0, Epic Veyron Save, MR2 Wheelie
- Details
- Written by Sasha Pecheny
6 Second Nissan GTR
|We all know the R35 Nissan GT-R is an almost unfairly quick car, but what happens when Mark Jacobsen snags one, strips it to its bare essentials, throws a funky exterior shell over it, oh, and not to mention throws in an RB engine that makes enough power for it to reach - hold your breath - 6.84 on the quarter mile, at 196 miles per hour. Though it may look funky, this GTR (though barely one) is a killer on the drag strip, and well worth a watch. Enjoy.
Corvette ZR1 vs Turbo 2012 5.0 Ford Mustang Coyote
|If you ever wanted to fork out around $120,000 for a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, then you may want to rethink your decision, just a little bit, because if you can buy a 2012 Ford Mustang 5.0 - also known as the "Coyote" - and throw a turbo into it, and thus be able to PULL on a ZR1, why shouldn't you just buy the boosted Coyote instead? Watch this brief, semi-serious duel between the two American monsters - courtesy of BullittEdyR, and decide for yourself. Enjoy.
Bugatti Veyron Epic Save At Prescott Hill Climb
|We all know the million-dollar Bugatti Veyron isn't exactly the greatest "driver's car", so when one owner spins out, catches it, and then fixes it, all in a matter of seconds - its worth noting, to say the least. During a series of demonstration run at what appears to be the very prestigious Prescott Hill Climb, one of the runs in the million dollar car goes horribly wrong, throwing it completely sideways on a road thinner than the width of a pencil. However, instead of crashing the million dollar hyper car and guaranteeing potentially millions of YouTube views on the internet, the quick reflexes of the owner kick in and with a few corrections, the 1000 horsepower mammoth is facing the correct direction again. Along with an incredible save, the Veyron owner also generously displays what the Veyron is capable of when shown a couple of fantastic straight roads, though maybe it was simply to relieve some pent-up frustration. Whatever the case may be, though the Bugatti Veyron is not much of a driver's car, it doesn't mean that a true driver can't control it. Enjoy.
Toyota MR2 Drag Strip Wheelie
|Surely you've seen bikes and motorcycles do a wheelie, but what about a Toyota MR2? Fitted with some drag slicks, this MR2 seemingly defies gravity as it peels off the starting line. With drag slicks, and a little turbocharging, anything is possible. Enjoy.

KRONOS the First 16:53 17 Jun 2012
May I suggest this,PSU. Modular,so you only use the cables you need which means less clutter and better air flow.
Graphics cards comparisons.
HD6870 vs HD7770 the 6870 wins outright.
HD6870 vs HD6850 not such a difference.
HD6850 vs HD7770 the 7770 is still the slower card.
Unfortunately your first two links do not work so cannot compare.
I had before I upgraded to the GTX 670 a HD 6870 and a 500w PSU and I could play any game at high settings, so I can definitely recommend the 6870 and if you drop the 750W PSU down to a 600W PSU you will have a litle extra for your GPU.

Sean Neill wants to do for clean energy what Samuel Insull, the British-born businessman who brought cheap electricity to mainstream America, did for dirty energy.
Unlike many other people who have boasted similar objectives, Neill, a Managing Director of the Dallas, TX-based energy-efficiency investment firm Transcend Equity Development, keeps winning bigger and better feathers for his already crowded cap.
The news announced this morning that the New York City Energy Efficiency Corporation (NYCEEC) had selected Transcend as a principal partner for its first energy-efficiency building retrofit is a case in point.
New York City established the NYCEEC earlier this year in an effort to achieve the ambitious energy goals included in Mayor Bloomberg's signature long-term planning effort, PlaNYC. NYCEEC, which was initially capitalized with $37.5 million in funding under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), is scrambling to spark a modest revolution in the market for energy-efficiency retrofit financing for private building owners. In particular, NYCEEC aims to support a portfolio of energy-efficiency financing products to drive energy efficiency investment in the Big Apple.
Transcend's brainchild, the Managed Energy Services Agreement (MESA) transaction, is the first financing product indirectly endorsed by the NYCECC. The MESA model was used to structure the financing of NYCEEC's first major energy-efficiency retrofit project. The project involves a $1.4 million energy-efficiency retrofit of the core energy infrastructure and systems at the 320,000 square foot office building located at 125 Maiden Lane in Lower Manhattan.
"MESA is an innovative and powerful tool for overcoming barriers that have slowed capital investment in comprehensive energy efficiency retrofits in the commercial building sector," said Susan Leeds, the CEO of NYCEEC in a press release.
The mechanics of the MESA model are closely guarded and Neill intends to keep it that way. Who can blame him, especially if it does what Neill is convinced it will do? In particular, Neill believes the MESA model will solve a problem that does not yet technically exist, but almost certainly will by the end of 2012. That problem is a consequence of the so-called accounting convergence in the works at the Financial Accounting Standards Board in Norwalk, Conn.
The convergence is likely to make it very difficult (but not impossible according to Neill) to secure off balance-sheet financing for investments in energy-efficiency building retrofits. Here is a quick-and-dirty description of the MESA model that promises to deliver this Holy Grail:
Under the MESA structure, project costs are repaid only through energy cost savings generated by the retrofits. NYCEEC's participation, backstopping the projected energy savings, helped enable Transcend Equity to close the funding necessary for the retrofit project . . . MESA does not place debt on a building and does not violate tenant leases, allowing a building's occupants a greener, more efficient building at no additional cost to its owners. The 125 Maiden Lane retrofit is the first MESA transaction in a New York City building.
I suspect it will not be the last.

Updated March 28, 2011 at 10:29 p.m.
Best School Superintendent: Bob Moore
In a corner of Victoria superintendent Bob Moore's office is a bond election sign promoting the 2007 $159 million bond project. Stuck atop is a Caterpillar Inc. paper fan from the day the company broke ground in Victoria.
The simple display represents his major focus over the last six years: build smaller learning communities, get the community engaged in education and economic development will follow.
"I've seen that in every district I've been in if you improve the quality of education you improve the economic development," he said.
Moore has been with the school district since 2006 and involved in education for 41 years.
His secret to success is his team, he said.
"I always try to do what's best for kids, and try to build a team and a staff that will do what's best for kids," he said.
He has been named best superintendent for two years in a row.

Friday the 13th: The Game Gets Gruesome 'Killer' PAX East 2017 Video
Gun Media's delayed Friday the 13th game received a new video at the recent PAX East event in Boston this past weekend, and it's a terrifying one.
The developers latest video features some of the game's most horrific and gruesome executions performed on unfortunate camp counsellors by masked psychopath Jason Voorhees, all to the rocking sounds of Swedish Glam Rock band Crazy Lixx and its rather appropriate song – Killer.
With Friday the 13th: The Game currently delayed on consoles and PC while the studio work on a single player campaign, Gun Media has wasted little time in putting together one of its most brutal videos yet.
As a word of warning, the video below contains many disturbing and horrific death scenes, as horror's biggest mummy's boy showcases his full range of devilish skills with an axe, spike and bare hands.

Spain and Portugal share five main river basins. Three of these (Duero/Douro, Tajo/Tejo, and Guadiana) are also some of the largest basins in the Iberian Peninsula. In general, Spanish territory is upstream and around 70% of the annual water resources of these rivers is generated in Spain. The total area of these five basins represents 45% of the surface area of the Iberian Peninsula, and nearly 64% of Portuguese territory. Extreme variations in rainfall – from season to season and year to year - exacerbate scarcity in water flows, particularly in the drier south. Irrigation, a highly consumptive use, is the main source of demand in both States. Low water pricing also results in overexploitation and lack of progress in conservation and efficiency. These water scarcity and allocation problems are aggravated by the traditional focus of both countries on dam construction and large-scale water transfers from wetter to drier regions (from the Tajo to the Segura, from the Guadiana to the Sado, Odiel and Piedras river basins).
Source: Commission for the implementation and development of the Albufeira Convention.
The first water treaty between both States dates from the 19th century. Later, in 1927, a first treaty regulating the use of the border stretch of Douro River for hydropower production was signed, and was followed in 1964 and 1968 by two new treaties. With these treaties the hydropower potential of the border stretches of the five basins and their tributaries was shared in equal parts between the two States.
In 1993 the Spanish Government disclosed its National Hydrological Plan where a new transfer of 1 billion m3 with origin in the Douro River towards the Mediterranean region was announced, with an impact on the environment and on Portuguese interests, without consultation. The Portuguese Government reacted and negotiations followed that led to the signature of a new water treaty in 1998, the so-called Albufeira Convention.
This convention is inspired by the traditional spirit of friendship and co-operation between both Nations and seeks to balance environmental protection with sustainable use of the water resources within the framework of International and EU Law, whilst at the same time respects the provisions of previous water treaties.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE)- A Fort Wayne native is traveling across the country on horseback.
Sam Hopkins-Hubbard, 52, was born in Fort Wayne but spent most of his life on the West Coast.
He left Oregon on April 5 carrying the American flag. Hopkins-Hubbard said he's making the journey to bring hope to the American people.
"It's time for us to stand together in this country. We've got a lot of problems that aren't going to be fixed in Washington D.C.," said Hopkins-Hubbard. "It's going to be up to the citizens to step up and fix them. We seem to have forgotten that. I'm trying to give people hope and remind them that our strength is within each other. The family and the community and the care that people across the country are giving each other. It's still there."
Hopkins-Hubbard plans to write a book about his experience after he wraps up his trip in September. His last stop will be the Atlantic Coast in northern Virginia.

My Volvos fan was constantly running and outside temp reading seemed high most days, then I started having acceleration issues. My car would take off without me touching the gas. It would even accelerate when I was on the brake. Then I restarted it and the car instantly red lined. Brought it to mechanic twice and they finally figured out it was due to a faulty temp sensor. How does that work? And why would that make my car accelerate? Very scary. Should I replace ETM as well? Please help
have the same problem?

France to host nuclear fusion project
By Guy Faulconbridge
MOSCOW (Reuters) - France is to host the world's firstnuclear fusion reactor, the project's multinational partnersagreed on Tuesday, bringing closer a technology backers saycould one day provide the world with endless cheap energy.France beat off a rival bid from Japan to host the10-billion-euro ($12.18 billion) experimental reactor atCadarache in the south of the country, according to anagreement signed by the partners after a meeting in Moscow.
The ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor)project is backed by China, the EU, Japan, Russia, South Koreaand the United States. It seeks to mimic the way the sunproduces energy, potentially providing an inexhaustible sourceof low-cost energy using seawater as fuel.
Unlike fission reactors used in existing nuclear powerstations, which release energy by splitting atoms apart, ITERwould generate energy by combining them.
"After long discussions and a great deal of joint work, theparticipants chose the site of Cadarache in France," Russia'satomic energy chief Alexander Rumyantsev told reporters.
"Today we are making history in terms of internationalscientific cooperation," the EU's Science and ResearchCommissioner Janez Potocnik said in a statement.
"Now that we have reached consensus on the site for ITER,we will make all efforts to finalize the agreement on theproject, so that construction can begin as soon as possible,"Potocnik said.
Japan and France have wrangled for months over where thereactor should be built while other partners have clashed overfunding, causing repeated delays in the project.
ITER began in 1985. Decades of research, however, have yetto produce a commercially viable fusion reactor.
The EU supported the French bid to have the reactor builtin Cadarache. Tokyo had sought to have it built in the northernJapanese village of Rokkasho. The other partners have also beenat odds over which of the two should host the reactor.
"It is a big success for France, for Europe and for all thepartners of ITER," said a statement issued by the office ofFrench President Jacques Chirac.
France has been a big producer of nuclear energy since theoil shocks of the 1970s and has 58 nuclear reactors, the mostin the world after the United States. (Additional reporting by Brussels newsroom)

Right now, it is crowded in the quarterbacks meeting room. Eli Manning is preparing for his 11th season as the starter. Curtis Painter, who was No. 2 on the depth chart last year, is still here. Last month, the Giants signed Josh Freeman, a former first-round draft choice who played last season for Tampa Bay and Minnesota.
And then there's Nassib. The Giants traded up in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL draft to select Nassib, who threw a school-record 70 touchdown passes at Syracuse. He was inactive for all 16 games last season. Of course, "inactive" is an accurate description for most backups to Manning, who has started an NFL-high 151 consecutive regular-season games. But Nassib would like to become the man behind the man and believes he has a chance to be the backup.
"I think my progress from this offseason compared to last year is like night and day," Nassib said today. "I didn't have to deal with the draft and all of those workouts and stuff like that, like I had to last year. Now all I have to do is focus in on what we have to do here."
And here the competition for the job he seeks is being contested on a level playing field. The Giants have a first-year offensive coordinator in Ben McAdoo, who is installing a new system. All the quarterbacks are learning the plays, terminology and nuances at the same time.
"It's nice to kind of get something new, get the guys excited again," Nassib said. "I'm just happy to be out there throwing the ball around again.
"There are some similarities and some differences than in the past. We've got some aspects of it that are kind of fun because the philosophy is to attack. That's kind of what makes us kind of enjoy it now and grasp it."
For Nassib, McAdoo's offense has more similarities with what he ran at Syracuse than the scheme he learned last year under former coordinator Kevin Gilbride. And he'll take any little advantage he can get as he fights to win the No. 2 job.
"My system in college was primarily West Coast, so there was some carryover from college to Coach McAdoo's system," Nassib said. "It's something that I've done in the past, which I kind of got away from last year. Now that we're back in it, the lessons that I've learned in the past are kind of becoming relevant again. It's been nice to be able to have that background now when I'm trying to learn something new."
Gilbride's offense often featured longer downfield passes. Nassib believes McAdoo's more controlled passing schemes might be a better fit for his skill set.
"Getting the ball out quick, having a good running game and playing fast, which is something that I think I do pretty well and something that I fit pretty well into," Nassib said.
Nassib has also been helped by a unique occurrence – Manning undergoing surgery. On April 10, Manning underwent arthroscopic surgery – more specifically, a debridement – on the left ankle he sprained in the season finale against Washington on Dec. 29. Although Manning is healing quickly and feeling good, his workload is expected to be curtailed throughout the spring. That gives Nassib more opportunities to show what he can do.
"During his rehab, I've gotten a chance to get a few more reps with him being a little limited," Nassib said. "It helps me develop, helps me get a little bit of a better feel with receivers and the system as a whole."
The circumstances are in place for Nassib to make a real run at the backup quarterback job. Now he has to take advantage of everything that's been presented to him.
"My mindset has always been the same since I started playing this game," Nassib said. "I want to go out there and play the best that I can, earn my position and leave it all out there. Then the chips will fall where they may.
"I don't think the expectations are different. My expectations, my goals are to earn that spot and stay with this team."

Holy Paladin utility is brought by all the Paladin specs, utility like 200k Revival(non crit),Damage,etc is only brought by Mistweavers. I doubt Blizzard will repeat the mistake of tier 15 having debuffs BoPed of.
So, what I'm wondering: Is there any reason high-end 25H guilds will actually require a paladin for all fights, other than soaking plate int gear?
If you line up DF and HA or DF and AW, or even all 3 together, it still creates a 15 second lull that forces you to wait for cds to line up.
The problem lies here: You gain 1500 Mastery while DF is active. That sounds good in theory, but because of the 15 second lull where you have to *wait* for it to come off CD, you are losing 1500 mastery for 15 seconds as you wait for it to align with either HA or AW.
That mastery buff essentially forces us to use it on CD without waiting for it to align with one of other cds in order to keep that extra 1500 rating at all times. Because of that, we will never be able to pop DF at the same time we use another CD except for the first time we use it. And the 5th, and the 9th (at 0:00, 8:00, and 16:00 minutes into a fight, respectively). There aren't many fights that last 8 minutes or longer.
That's why this set bonus is so weak, because it's going to force us to stagger cds that the majority of us use together. If the new tier is going to allow us to get the 1500 mastery rating from the gear itself, this set bonus is completely wasted. It's not worth an extra 1.5k mastery that we can gain from gear if we are going to be forced to stagger cds in order to do the same thing by keeping DF on cd to keep that mastery buff active.

and the morons they seem to attract? Well, Sondra took note of another particularly idiotic bunch who should be introduced to a scattergun:
Seattle Police spokesman Mark Jamieson says that on Friday between 100 and 300 bicyclists were riding down a street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, blocking traffic on both lanes, when a man and a woman in a Subaru station wagon tried to pull out of a parking spot.
But some of the bicyclists blocked them, sat on the car and began banging on the vehicle. Words were exchanged between the male driver and the bicyclists.
The driver feared being assaulted and backed up, but bumped a biker and enraged the group. In response, some of the bikers smashed the windshield and rear window. He tried to drive away but hit another bicyclist.
The car stopped a block down and the bicyclists surrounded the car. One biker punched the driver through an open window and another used a knife to slash the tires.
When the driver got out of the car a male suspect struck him with an unknown object in the back of the head. The driver was later taken to the hospital. His female companion was not injured.
I pointed out what would happen in this neck of the woods if they tried that; it needs to start happening there, too. I'll note that you don't smash windshields by whacking it with a fist, so I'm wondering what they used, and did they bring it with them? If so, wouldn't that count as premeditation? And how about that 'unknown object'?
The fact that they were allowed to block traffic, instead of the police dragging them off in job lots to jail...

text: 'lo! I've recently decided to dust off and start playing with an AS500 400MHz that also happens to have a Powerstorm 4d20. I first installed linux (debian) with ease, but Xfree86 lacked drivers for the card.... Since I've seen several posts on NetBSD and the 4d20, I thought I would try it. My initial attempts met with failure, however, as booting with the 4d20 would cause a switch to a black screen during the secondary boot loader. I yanked the 4D20 out and stuck a S3 card in and successfully (joyfully ?) installed netbsd. Yay. I've since then attempted to get the 4D20 to work a time or two, but with no success. I've tried changing wscon configuration to use only tga0 or vga0 (instead of both) to no avail, etc. I've heard of Roland Dowdeswell's work on getting the cards to work, but I've not seen any documentation on how to go about casting the right spell to make it happen :(. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. -Will

Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's name continues to make the rounds regarding head coaching vacancies around the NFL.
The most prominent possibility to be associated with Schwartz thus far has been the Detroit Lions, who are in the process of compiling candidates and are believe to have Schwartz on their radar.
The Lions, coming off the first 0-16 season in NFL history, fired Rod Marinelli, and Schwartz is one of a handful of names believed to be in line for an interview to replace him.
NFL Network reported that the Lions had asked for permission to speak with Schwartz, however, sources in neither Nashville nor Detroit would confirm whether or not he is on the Lions' wish list.
Efforts to reach Schwartz and his agent Jimmy Sexton were unsuccessful on Tuesday.
Schwartz's name has popped up before in coaching searches, as he was a finalist for the San Francisco 49ers head-coaching job in 2005, losing out to Mike Nolan.
His name fell off the head-coaching radar for a couple of years, but resurfaced last year when the Titans had a top-five defense in the NFL. Schwartz was a potential candidate for openings in Atlanta, Washington and Miami, but was not hired and remained in Tennessee.
This year with the Titans having the NFL's best record at 13-3, it was believed that Schwartz's name would rise near the top of up-and-coming candidates without head coaching experience in the league.
The Titans are on a bye week by virtue of clinching home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, and teams would be able to interview Schwartz or any other Titans assistant this week. It is possible the Lions, who just named Tom Lewand their new CEO and Martin Mayhew their general manager, could come to Nashville to interview Schwartz, if interested.
However, if any team hired Schwartz, they could not officially announce the hiring until the Titans are finished in the playoffs either by elimination or after the Super Bowl.
SOLD OUT: The single-game seats that were available for the Tennessee Titans AFC Divisional Playoff Game on Jan. 10 at LP Field sold out in approximately three minutes Tuesday morning.
Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m.
"They went in three minutes. When you think about it, it is for one game," Titans Executive Vice President of Administration and Facilities Don MacLachlan said. "When the single-game seats go on sale in July, those are for 10 games [regular season and preseason], and it takes a little longer. We went down to singles in about three minutes, and it wasn't long after that that all of those were gone as well."
In all, there were 3,900 tickets up for sale for the game in which the Titans will host Baltimore, San Diego or Indianapolis at 3:30 p.m. CST on that Saturday.
Tennessee will host the Ravens if they defeat Miami on Sunday. If the Dolphins win that game, the Titans would host the winner of Saturday's Indianapolis-San Diego game.
Tickets were available through TicketMaster, Kroger outlets and at the LP Field box office, where a number of fans had camped out overnight hoping to purchase seats.
RYAN WINS: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was a runaway winner in the voting for Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Ryan received 44 of the 50 votes, while Titans running back Chris Johnson was second in the balloting with three votes. Ryan helped the Falcons earn a wild-card playoff berth after being the club's first-round pick out of Boston College in April.
Ryan Clady of Denver was third in the voting and Matt Forte of Chicago was fourth.
Johnson finished the regular season with 1,228 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He was held out of the regular-season finale Sunday at Indianapolis.

Metcash Slumps After Full-Year Earnings Forecast Cut
Metcash Ltd. (MTS), Australia's largest grocery wholesaler, declined the most in almost five months in Sydney trading after cutting its full-year earnings forecast amid a price war with larger supermarket chains.
The shares fell 2.3 percent, the most since July 5 to A$3.43 at the close. Underlying earnings-per-share will be between 2 percent and 6 percent lower in the 12 months through April, the Sydney-based company said in a statement today. In August, Metcash forecast the measure would fall between 1 percent and 3 percent.
Metcash has been squeezed as competition between Australia's two largest supermarket chains, Woolworths Ltd. (WOW) and Wesfarmers Ltd (WES).-owned Coles, has driven grocery discounts. A push to sell milk at A$1 ($1) a liter contributed to a 27 percent profit fall at the dairy and drinks division of Kirin Holdings Co.'s Lion unit, the company said in August.
"The deflationary trading conditions are expected to continue," Metcash Chief Executive Officer Andrew Reitzer said in the statement. "Ongoing deflation will have to be managed carefully in the second half of the year."
Metcash shares have fallen 15 percent this year, compared with an 18 percent rise for Woolworths and a 21 percent gain for Wesfarmers. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index has gained 11 percent over the period.
First-half net income fell 13 percent from a year earlier to A$82 million, the company said, even as sales climbed 3.5 percent to A$6.34 billion.
Increased Competition
"Aggressive marketing campaigns" by the major supermarket chains had been a headwind for earnings during the period, the company said.
The company posted underlying EPS of 34.1 cents in June. Profit was expected to fall 4.1 percent to 32.7 cents in the 2013 financial year, according to the average of 15 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Earnings before interest, tax and amortization in the food and grocery business, Metcash's largest division, slipped 5.4 percent to A$175 million as discounting pushed down profit margins.
Fresh produce prices sank 13 percent during the first half while packaged grocery fell 0.7 percent, Metcash said. Market share slipped 0.2 percent as trading hours were deregulated in Western Australia state.

{Shirt: J. Crew vintage cotton tee in Spanish}
Having long hair in Miami is no easy task. I mean, I have to deal with humidity, rain, salt air, intense sun and the blowdryer on a daily basis. Long hair in Miami takes a beating and I'll be honest, I'm not always the kindest to my hair. I'll pull it back when it's wet, do a hot blowdry on it to get it dry faster, leave it in a ponytail for a full day and more….so when RICH hair care offered to send me their collection to try, I was like "oh yeah…bring it on!".
I've been using these products for two weeks now and between us gals, I wasn't expecting much…I mean, how often have you purchased a product that promises miracle results only to be sadly disappointed?
I have. I've done it a lot…epsecially with hair care so I wasn't keeping my hopes too high when the package arrived. Obviously the products proved me wrong (or else I wouldn't be here writing this post). And by proved me wrong, I mean they gave me the side-eye, looked at my hair and said "girl, we so got this."
For starters, Will at RICH Hair Care was a rockstar and sent me a huge package of their bestsellers. I have never in my life had so much hair product but little did I know that a majority of them would soon become important fixtures on my beauty table. The picture above shows the products that have made it into my daily routine cycle.
1) The Hairspray– Let's call this the Champs Elysee version of AquaNet because it has a serious hold but it's uber luxurious. This hairspray is absolutely perfect to tame my wild strays when I want to wear a clean, slick back ponytail. I love, love, love it. And that's a lot of love for a can of hairspray.
2) The Pure Luxury Argan Shampoo and Conditioner duo changed the way my hair felt after just 1 wash. No exaggeration. They brought my hair back to life by giving it a healthy glow. I couldn't believe how much "happier" my hair was.
3) The Leave-In conditioner is a must for someone that has long hair. Personally, pulling the knots out of my hair is on my list of least favorite things to do so thank you to RICH for making such a fabulous product that not only eliminates my tangles but also nourishes my hair.
4) The Pure Luxury Intense Treatment Cream is so rich (pun intended) yet light. I use it right before I blow my hair out. I let the hair air dry a bit (when I have time) and then add this to protect it from the heat and help maintain its healthy glow.
5) The De-Frizz and Shine Mist is THE money shot. You just can't live in Miami and not have this. That simple. I use it after I'm done with the dryer to tame any hairs that may have escaped and to add shine to my hair. I don't think I could do my hair without it ever again. It's just that good.
The rest of these products I have yet to try but believe me…I will. I'm gifting the Matte Texture Paste to the hubby for his locks so let's see what he thinks. I'm planning on taking the Curl Enhancing Cream and Volume Spray to Europe this summer because I can let my hair be "free" there. That means, I don't have to blow it out. There's about 2% humidity in Switzerland and my naturally wavy hair is free to roam around. I'll be adding these products to help manage it and keep it looking chic, not crazed ;)
To see all their products and descriptions, click here.
I know you're thinking this is all too good to be true, but I can attest to it and so can all these awards that the RICH Hair Care line has won: Cosmopolitan BeautyAward 2011, 2012 & 2013, Style Beauty Best Buy 2013, Tatler Beauty Award 2013 and more. Check out their Facebook page for pictures of them at the latest beauty trade shows and more.
So definitely check them out, try out some of their products, change the health of your hair. And yes, I'm totes serious.

I ate something really good today. Can you guess what it was? Maybe from the title. The title kind of gave it away didn't it? And then the photo. Okay fine. It was peaches and cream baked oatmeal. SURPRISE! I know how to build suspense. I didn't invent the recipe, but I can vouch for it. Dr. Sonali Ruder, the voice behind The Foodie Physician created it for her new book, Natural Baby Food. She sent me a copy to review since I loved her first book, The Natural Pregnancy Cookbook (check out the review and recipe for her blueberry oatmeal muffins). If you're pregnant or have a little one (or have friends in such situations), it's a wonderful resource with tons of recipes ranging from simple purees to meals for older kids. Here are some of my favorite things about the book:
- Contains color photos of most recipes;
- Makes cooking for your tiny boss feel simple – you can totally do this! And you don't need a culinary degree, tons of time, or special gadgets. You will need a freezer. A freezer is KEY;
- Includes advice on how parents can help babies retain their natural ability to regulate hunger and fullness;
- Encourages parents to offer a variety of flavors by using herbs and spices and has a table that shows you which flavors go well together (think coriander and lentils or turmeric and cauliflower); and
- Guides you from starting solids to introducing finger foods and combination meals
This cozy baked oatmeal recipe is perfect for big kids and their parents:
|Cook Time
|35 minutes
- 2 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons coconut sugar or brown sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces diced peaches plus a few slices for garnish about 2 cups total or 3 peaches
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Mix the oats, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt together in a medium bowl.
- Whisk the milk, egg, maple syrup, oil or butter, and vanilla together in another bowl.
- Scatter the diced peaches in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Pour the oat mixture evenly on top.
- Pour the milk mixture on top and press to submerge all of the dry ingredients in the liquid.
- Arrange the peach slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until set.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve the oatmeal alone or top with milk, Greek yogurt, or maple syrup (although it was sweet enough for me without any more sugar!)

So BOStv is set to return as a paid satellite TV bouquet in a month or two. The station, which was a popular stop gap service after Santech's encryption of the SABC signal will have to prove itself for people to actually pay for it.

Seems to be Obamas' attitude.
He wants the Iranians to have nukes, and lots of money to pay terrorists with, so why would he be bothered about handing freedom to act and lots of money to this guy?
Due Process isn't important for men. Accusation must equal guilt. Or else you're 'victim blaming'.
I have an answer: get rid of these campus kangaroo courts, hand it all over to the police. Including prosecution for making false police reports.
Of course, they don't want to do that; there really IS due process then, evidence required. And they really don't want that.
On the EffingBI trying not to talk about the Gunwalker connection to the Garland terrorist attack:
What this attempt at covering up the provenance of Soofi's weapon shows
is that the Justice Department and associated federal agencies are still
engaged in trying to hide facts about Fast and Furious from Congress.
They've been stonewalling the investigation for more than four years —
not out of concern for the safety of Americans (and Mexicans for that
matter), but because they fear the political fallout that would ensue
once their incompetence was exposed.
'Incompetence' my ass; they don't want their deliberately running guns to the cartels to be exposed any more.
Everyone's pissed(rightly so, I think) at the idea of that Commander being charged for defending his troops. Knowing such would stir people up so much, why would the Navy start that(ignoring the 'We must set an example! and I hate guns anyway!' idiocy that's possible)? Here's a possibility:
And that brings us back to changing the narrative. By suggesting that
Lieutenant Commander White may be facing charges, senior government
officials have successfully changed the focus of the Chattanooga
investigation, at least temporarily. That should make everyone wonder
what new revelations are about to drop, in terms of the shooter's
travels and affiliations, and security measures in place at the reserve
center at the time of the attack.
As we learned in the days followed the shooting, the reserve base was a
largely undefended target, putting sailors and Marines at risk.
Abdulazeez was able to crash through an unmanned gate at the facility
and open fire. To date, DoD has said nothing about why the gate was
secured with nothing more than a chain and a padlock, and the response
of base security personnel. It was Lieutenant Commander White and that
unidentified Marine returned who fire from inside the perimeter and it
was the Chattanooga Police Department--in pursuit of the suspect--who
finally cornered Abdulazeez and shot him dead. Base security--based on
what we have learned so far--was AWOL.
Keep an eye on the Navy's "prosecution" of Randy White in the weeks
ahead. It will provide a convenient distraction while far more serious
revelations about the attack dribble out. Sad to say, but it won't be
the first time the feds have sought a scapegoat in a terrorist strike
against the U.S. military. In the aftermath of the Khobar Towers bombing
in 1996, much of the attention focused on Air Force Brigadier General
Terry Schwailer, the on-scene commander at the time of the attack.
That idea hadn't occurred to me; it should have.
After all, a service that'll screw someone like Lt. Col. Kate Germano why and how they did, is capable of all kinds of things.
Doesn't matter: when the real backlash to the SJBs hits, they'll consider it proof of their virtue. So it's all good!
Hey, it's good when HE does it...
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of
two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City , N.C. about 5 p.m.
Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's
Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was
not arrested,declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm
right in the middle of an investigation."
"And I really don't want to be called on my hypocrisy."

Alltel: Expecting A Call?
By Gene G. Marcial
Now that Sprint (FON ) has agreed to buy Nextel (NXTL ), one outfit wired as the next takeover, some say, is Alltel (AT ), a Little Rock provider of telecom services, mainly in small towns and rural markets. "Its widely used CDMA [code division multiple access] wireless technology makes it a natural target for Verizon -- also a user of CDMA," says Tavis McCourt of investment firm Morgan Keegan (RF ). Verizon, he says, would profit from its "substantial customer base and extremely profitable operations." Earlier, Verizon was rumored to be interested in Sprint, but a Verizon-Sprint deal would have faced tough going with regulators, as the duo would control nearly 40% of the wireless market. Now, Alltel is the largest asset left to buy.
Acquiring Alltel, with its 8.4 million subscribers, would boost Verizon (with 42 million) to a 32% market share, making it No. 1. Cingular is now tops, with 46 million. (Sprint-Nextel will have a combined 34 million.) Verizon and Alltel already have close ties: Alltel lets Verizon offer its subscribers roaming access to its rural network, and Alltel, in turn, offers Verizon's national services to its users. The stock, now at 58.25, is worth 70 in a buyout, says McCourt. David Barden of Banc of America Securities (BAC ), who rates Alltel a buy, figures it will earn $3.31 a share in 2004 and $3.55 in 2005, vs. $3.05 in 2003. Alltel and Verizon declined comment.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, neither the sources cited in Inside Wall Street nor their firms hold positions in the stocks under discussion. Similarly, they have no investment banking or other financial relationships with them.
See Gene on Fridays at 1:20 p.m. EST on CNNfn's The Money Gang.

BUSINESSES and organisations on Wearside have been urged to help prevent domestic abuse by police and crime commissioner Vera Baird QC.
The prompt came during an event organised by Gentoo, which has endorsed the PCC's Domestic Abuse and the Workplace strategy.
Ms Baird, who has developed the initiative as part of the regional Violence Against Women and Girls, said having a domestic violence strategy in place at work can be a lifeline for victims.
"It is extremely hard even to talk about," she said.
"And we are trying to get employers to have a policy in place where they can say we will help in any way we can."
The strategy will see employees trained to be champions in the workplace to refer victims on to different people to receive the relevant support.
Mrs Baird was joined at the event, held at the Stadium of Light, by Penny Clough MBE and John Clough, from the Justice for Jane Campaign.
The couple's daughter, Jane Clough, was brutally murdered outside her workplace in 2010 by a violent ex-partner.
In 2012, after fighting for changes to the law regarding prosecutors challenging bail rulings, the amendment to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill was dubbed 'Jane's Law'.
Penny, who spoke alongside husband John, said: "This is so important because if you know more than half a dozen people, you can bet you know someone who is a victim.
"We are using our daughter's story as an example. The support our daughter had from her workplace helped her.
"Knowing that she was a rape victim helped because she found it easier to speak to her colleagues.
"We want victims to be able to come forward and say they need help and for that support network to be in place."
Kelly Henderson, domestic abuse business manager at Gentoo, added: "There has been a policy around domestic violence and abuse at Gentoo for a long time, but we now have a customer service and are extending that to our staff.
"We hope to get domestic abuse on the national agenda."

Bully Buster Week aims to stop bullies
Aug. 27, 2010 at 3:27 a.m.
CUERO - The lunchtime cafeteria was crowded when 11-year-old Audrey Saenz saw a classmate being bullied.
"I felt so sad," she said. "People being treated like that - it's not right."
Later, she saw the same classmate draw pictures of how he was going to kill himself.
Friday, the entire school gathered in the same cafeteria, raised small stop signs and cried out to stop bullying as a part of the district's Bully Buster Week program.
"We're taking a very hard stance on it this year," said Principal Bill Hamilton.
The program was expanded from a one-day program last year to a week because the issue has become more serious, said Rosanne Wagner, case manager for Safe Schools Healthy Students program.
"A lot of people are killing themselves," she said of the national bullying problem.
She noted that most bullying begins with a child who is bullied at home or is seeking attention by bullying others. Those who are the victims often carry the stigma with them through life.
"It does start young, and it does start when they're little, and it just get's progressively worse," she said.
Wager hopes to expand the program next year into something students will organize themselves.
Friday, teachers poked fun at each other and acted out bullying situations on the cafeteria stage while students watched.
Afterward, Wagner appeared dressed in a giant stop sign and explained how to stop bullying.
"Take a stand for your fellow classmates," she said, encouraging the students to report bullying.
"We're not going to have anybody intimidated on this campus or in the district," Hamilton said. "...We're working with all of our kids to make them feel comfortable in talking to somebody to help reduce the bullying situation throughout the district."
Audrey said she believes she learned more about preventing bullying and has reported the situation before.
She gave her advice to other students to do the same.
"Try to be good and if, like, you see bullying, tell the teacher or tell the counselor," Audrey said. "Or go up after the student and say, 'are you OK.'"

School should just be cancelled because Kanye West is in Hamilton today— hannah trevisan (@hannahtrevisan) February 18, 2014
Hamilton's FirstOntario Centre is about to get one of the biggest stars it has seen since its recent name change, as hip-hop titan Kanye West brings his Yeezus Tour to the arena Tuesday night.
The tour is to promote West's confrontational record, Yeezus, which has garnered a sterling critical response.
However, the Canadian leg of the Yeezus Tour has so far left many fans disappointed, after last-minute cancellations and multiple postponements.
His Vancouver appearance, initially scheduled for Oct. 20, 2013, was eventually cancelled after being delayed twice. So was the Montreal gig, originally set for Nov. 14. The November shows in Toronto were also postponed to December.
The Hamilton performance is the last show in Canada, as the North American leg of the Yeezus Tour wraps up in February.
February also marks the 10-year anniversary of West's debut album The College Dropout. His decade-long career, however, comes with a string of controversies.
Ten years later I am still the same kid from Chicago, still dreaming out loud, still banging on the door.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest)
February 10, 2014
Controversial star
U.S. President Barack Obama called the rapper a "jackass" after West took the stage to protest Taylor Swift's win in the best female video category at the 2009 Grammy Awards.
More recently, he was engaged in a bitter feud with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel last year after a skit poking fun at West ran on ABC's program Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The provocative artist was also blasted for using the U.S. Confederate flag on concert merchandise to promote his album.
His rants and antics are some of the reasons why Emmalene Pruden, a mother of two from Hamilton, said she will not be going to his concert on Tuesday.
"I personally think Kanye West is part of what's wrong with today's society," she said. "He is rude, arrogant, and quite possibly an egomaniac."
Pruden said she was surprised to find out that one of her daughters listens to West's music.
"He's not a very good role model," she told CBC Hamilton.
The Hamilton show opens on Tuesday at 8 p.m.
