There's not much in Philadelphia less popular than the Philadelphia Parking Authority. The blue-uniformed ticket takers are notorious for papering cars with violations, affording no one who parks in the city a grace period. If your meter runs over by five minutes, or you're a few inches over the line of a no-park zone, you'll be fined. If not, you're lucky.
This is true in most sections of the city. It's definitely true for Chestnut Hill, where no other agency incites the public ire in quite the same way. As I wrote six months ago, when we learned that the Chestnut Hill Parking Foundation would turn enforcement of its lots to the PPA, critics of the plan acted as though the job was given to Hell's Angels.
Now those who feel they've been wronged by the Parking Authority have a new hero. His name is Jim Pavlock, a Fairmount attorney who called a ticket hearing judge's bluff to take his complaints about several parking tickets to the Court of Common Pleas. And the court handed down a ruling that gives the PPA new guidelines and Philadelphia motorists new rights in fighting erroneous parking tickets.
The case stemmed from several tickets Pavlock received that he said were erroneous. When he appealed them to the Board of Administrative Adjudication (BAA), where one normally appeals tickets, he argued that the tickets were invalid because they were not signed by the PPA officer and also did not list the specific address where he was parked. Instead it just listed a generic reference to the block on which Pavlock was parked.
Pavlock asked to cross-examine the issuing officer and was refused. "Take it up with the Court of Common Pleas," he was told.
So last week, Common Pleas judge Leon Tucker issued a ruling that compels the PPA to do the following:
1. The BAA must inform ticket appellants that they have the right to cross-examine the issuing PPA officer. This provision should come as notice to ticket officers that they could be held accountable for every detail in a ticket. Anything missing could come back to them in a hearing.
2. All tickets must have an exact location or the BAA hearing examiner must dismiss the ticket.
3. All tickets issued must be signed by the officer.
4. If a BAA examiner dismisses an appeal, the examiner must provide the reasons why in writing and at the time of the hearing.
This means more to Philadelphians than simply a moment to cheer the victory of Joe Citizen. This isn't just that one time Charlie Brown manages to kick the football.
What this ruling does is give everyone who gets a ticket a fair chance at challenging that ticket. And it should ensure that PPA officers do a better job of making sure that the tickets they do issue follow the letter of the law. It not, they could end up trying to justify their tickets at a hearing.
So when you get a ticket that you think was unfair, you now have a shot at getting it waived. Turns out you can fight the PPA and win, thanks to Pavlock.

Tullian Tchividjian is now a part of the Gospel Coalition blog roll. He recently posted on our ever-present need for grace – not just in the cross event – but at every moment of our lives. I hope you are encouraged by this insightful post.
The story of Jonah shows us that the gospel—the good news that God relentlessly pursues sinners in order to rescue them—is just as much for Christians as it is for non-Christians. Jonah's life proves this, because Jonah, who knows God, obviously needs divine deliverance as much as anyone else in the story. In fact, his need for rescue gets far more emphasis than anyone else's. It's his destitution, not that of the Ninevites, that gets the most play. That alone should be enough to convince us that God's rescue is a continuing requirement for Christians and non-Christians alike.
The gospel isn't simply a set of truths that non-Christians must believe in order to become saved. It's a reality that Christians must daily embrace in order to experience being saved. The gospel not only saves us from the penalty of sin (justification), but it also saves us from the power of sin (sanctification) day after day. Or, as John Piper has said, "The cross is not only a past place of objective substitution; it is a present place of subjective execution." Our daily sin requires God's daily grace—the grace that comes to us through the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Churches for years have struggled over whether their worship services ought to be geared toward Christians (to encourage and strengthen them) or non-Christians (to appeal to and win them). But this debate and the struggle over it are misguided. We're asking the wrong questions and making the wrong assumptions. The truth is that our worship services should be geared to sinners in need of God's rescue—and that includes both Christians and non-Christians. Since both groups need his deliverance, both need his gospel.
Christians need the gospel because our hearts are always prone to wander; we're always tempted to run from God. It takes the power of the gospel to direct us back to our first love. Consciously going to the gospel ought to be a daily reality and experience for us all. It means, as Jerry Bridges reminds us, "preaching the gospel to yourself every day." We have to allow God to remind us every day through his Word of Christ's finished work on behalf of sinners in order to stay convinced that the gospel is relevant.
I find that I especially need a gospel refocus to help steer me away from a constant tendency to drift into a performance-driven relationship with God. I'm not alone in that tendency; Jerry Bridges observes how pervasive it is among us all:
My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our personal relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace. If we've performed well—whatever "well" is in our opinion—then we expect God to bless us. If we haven't done so well, our expectations are reduced accordingly. In this sense, we live by works rather than by grace. We are saved by grace, but we are living by the "sweat" of our own performance.
Moreover, we are always challenging ourselves and one another to "try harder." We seem to believe success in the Christian life (however we define success) is basically up to us: our commitment, our discipline, and our zeal, with some help from God along the way. We give lip service to the attitude of the apostle Paul, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10), but our unspoken motto is, "God helps those who help themselves."
The realization that my daily relationship with God is based on the infinite merit of Christ instead of on my own performance is a very freeing and joyous experience.
The difference between living for God and living for anything else is that when we live for anything else we do so to gain acceptance, but when we live for God we do so because we are already accepted. Real freedom (the freedom that only the gospel grants) is living for something because we already have favor instead of living for something in order to gain favor.

Penalties should precede extra time: study
A study by La Trobe University suggests teams would have more incentive to play attacking football if a penalty shoot-out was decided before extra time.
Football can be a frustrating sport at the best of times.
For a fan, one of the most disheartening parts of the global game is penalty shoot-outs.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter once described the penalty shoot-out as a tragedy, and if you can remember the FIFA 2006 World Cup Final, one would agree.
Closer to home was the recent Sydney FC-Melbourne Victory A-League Grand Final which also ended up coming down to a shoot-out.
But would the game be better off without penalty shoot-outs?
A recent study by La Trobe University economists uses econometric modeling and regression techniques to estimate what would happen if the shoot-out were to be staged before (rather than after) extra-time, with the shoot-out result determining the winner only if the subsequent extra-time does not separate the teams anyway.
The research, conducted by La Trobe's School of Economics and Finance department used a comprehensive database of over 500,000 matches from scores of various domestic and global competitions, the authors compare scoring outcomes of two groups of matches whereby one group closely simulates what the proposed rule change would do, and the other group represents the current rule.
"The key to the rule lies in the economic incentives that it creates for players," Dr Jan Libich said.
"The team that loses the shoot-out under this proposal would become more attacking in extra-time than currently because they have to score to win, and while the shoot-out winner becomes more defensive, what really matters is the net of these two effects."
The authors' results indicate that for competitions such as the World Cup and the UEFA Cup, the probability of scoring in extra-time would increase on average by 45-60 per cent under the new rule, depending on various factors such as the result in regulation time, evenness of the teams, stage of the tournament and home ground advantage.
The proportion of goalless extra-times would therefore approximately fall by half: from almost 50 per cent to below 25 per cent.
Dr Libich laments this proposal would be a vast improvement on the previous experiments such as the 'golden/silver goal' rule.
"It backfired because it incentivised both teams to be even more defensive due to the higher 'cost' of conceding a goal, therefore it undermined its own intention, and was eventually abandoned after Euro 2004."
The findings are currently being presented by La Trobe's Dr Liam Lenten at several institutions across Europe in the lead up to the World Cup, including a 'Psychology of Football' conference in London and seminars at the Universities of Birmingham, Iceland and the home of the FIFA, Zurich.
The university is suggesting that FIFA should consider trialling the proposed rule change in lower-tier competitions and if the rule proves to be a success, then it should be implemented in the top-tier leagues.

A study conducted in the Sydney Uni bar concluded ....
.... add up the number of times a team heads the ball, divide it by the number of injuries they sustain during the game then multiply it by the number of times they kick the ball out for a corner. Of course you'd need to take away two for a yellow card and five for a red. This method would encourage teams to head the ball more, sustain fewer injuries, win corners and avoid getting carded. It's amazing what you can sort out when you're at Uni. Any other major world problems we can help you with?

Although I agree with Pom's "park the bus" comment, the problem with shoot-outs after extra time is that BOTH teams tend to park the bus - that extra 30 minutes tends to be the most boring part of the game! At least with penalties before extra time, the onus is on one of the teams to attack - the other might sit back, but at its own peril. But in the end, I think there should only be a penalty shoot-out if and when it's needed, ie after extra time to avoid the ridiculous scenario of having won a shoot-out but losing the game.

extra time
Introduce this crap, then the winner of the pen. shootout will just play to draw/timewaste, which means that there will be a lower quality of football being played. The golden goal rule was a good example of an incentive to play more attacking football, although it was a cruel way to lose. Crueler than the Penalties?? Its up to you...

Team performance
I think extra time should be left excactly as it is. Though maybe they could incorporate additional player forced penalty time for cards and intentional diving made earlier in the match. For example if a player is caught for intentional diving at some point in the main game then his team would pay a 5 minutes player off pitch penalty during extra time so his team has only 10 men for 5 mins. If there are more than 3 cards for the game by one team then they would be down by a man for the first half of extra time and some time in the second half of ET. Of course it just wouldnt be one sided if the other side also had cards then both teams would be down men for the required time. I would hope that this would do one of two things. A: make the game a little more exciting in extra time (the same way ice hockey is more exciting during penalty time). B: Clean up a lot of the foul play and diving that has become so common and almost accepted in the game. Since diving has no real punishment as it stands.

This is soccer were talking about. (The games about strategy not dam puting all the pressure on the keeper!) Just keep it the way it is!

Penalty Shot out after normal time.
This is an absolute shocking idea by La Trobe University.I think some of the other suggestions have more merit such as ulitising the number of corner kicks after the extra time period would be a good option.Then ulitised the penalty shot out if the amount of corner kicks are equal.

CEOSucceeds Antony YoungBy Noreen O'Leary|July 9, 2013ShareBy Noreen O'Leary|July 9, 2013Share Colin Kinsella has been named chief executive of Mindshare, North America, succeeding Antony Young who took on that role 22 months ago. Young will now shift his focus to global business projects and development, the GroupM media network said. Kinsella was CEO of Digitas in North America until March when the Publicis Groupe company promoted Tony Weisman to that job. (That management shift occurred a month after Publicis merged newly acquired LBi with Digitas outside the U.S. Domestically, the Digitas brand remains.) Kinsella joined Digitas from sister company Razorfish where he was global chief innovation officer in early 2010 and took on the North American role in October 2011. Young, who was chief executive of Optimedia in the U.S., moved to Mindshare in October 2011. He replaced Phil Cowdell who was named chairman and who left in January 2012 to become president of R2C Group, an Oregon-based direct response agency.

Take this one with a 9.7-inch grain of salt, but Focus Taiwan is reporting that current Asian supply chains suggest that Apple might be trying to get the iPad 3 out on February 24th, Steve Jobs's birthday.
After the iPhone 4S successfully took the tech market by storm, the iPad3 is widely expected to be Apple's first hit product to be released next year. Industry sources said the first shipment of the iPad3 could exceed 4 million units. Because it is a new gadget, it is taking time for makers in the supply chain to raise their yield rates. The sources said all OEM and ODM makers have exercised great caution in ensuring the smooth operations of their production lines.
A late February launch would likely mean an early February event to show off the new hardware (and new 5.1 or 5.2 version of iOS to go with it?). If you aren't as skeptical as we are on this one, you probably should be. Supply chain rumors are often more miss than hit, and you'll probably have just as much luck pegging the iPad 3 release date by flipping a coin.

Most Argentinians eat four meals each day. The diet may differ in different regions. Desayuno (breakfast) is a light meal of rolls and jam with coffee. For almuerzo (lunch), many Argentinians eat meat and vegetables or salads. After work but before dinner, people go to confiterías (cafés) to drink espresso and eat picadas, small dishes of cheese, mussels, salami, anchovies, olives and peanuts. Cena (dinner) in the evening is the largest meal of the day and almost always includes beef.Beef is the national dish of Argentina. There are huge cattle ranches in Argentina, and the gaucho, or Argentine cowboy, is a well-known symbol of Argentine individualism. Many dishes contain meat, but prepared in different ways. A favorite main course is parrillada, a mixed grill of steak and other cuts of beef.

Naked Ground, Jenkins Meadow, and Haoe Lead Trails 10/5/13
Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness Area/Nantahala National Forest - This was nice 11 mile hike that started at the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. It was a nice loop trail that involved three trails. We started out on Naked Ground trail for about half a mile, then turned right onto Jenkins Meadow trail for about 3.5 mles to the ridge where that trail ended and became Haoe Lead trail. We stayed on Haoe Lead trail for a couple of miles until we came back to Naked Ground trail. The first half of this hike was in blissful solitude, in fact we did not see another person until we came to the Haoe Lead/Naked Ground junction. Of course, the reason it was so devoid of people was because this section had not been maintained for quite awhile, so it was heavily overgrown and difficult to maneuver through. But we loved it and had a great time. Lots of great campsites on the Jenkins Meadow trail, but even more on the Naked Ground trail, which is why it was more popular.Read More

For a guy with a resume that isn't exactly sterling, J'Marcus Webb drew considerable interest.
Now, according to SiriusXM NFL Radio, Webb has decided to sign with the Chiefs today.
The veteran tackle worked out for the Vikings and Panthers last week, after visiting the Chiefs in March.
The Chiefs have plenty of holes up front, after losing Branden Albert, Geoff Schwartz and Jon Asamoah in free agency.
Signing Webb doesn't necessarily fill in those blanks, but the guy does have 45 NFL starts, and at least provides some swing tackle insurance.

Since I told guys that Im poz. I been invated to parties or orgies with other poz guys. Having sex with other poz guys without condoms is it safe? or make it worst? I havent been to one yet but Im curious to attend. Since I dont have sex since I learned I'm poz becuse I'm afraid to infect the other person even with using protection. thank you.
Response from Dr. Frascino
There are two important reasons poz-poz barebacking is a bad idea:
1. The risk of superinfection (dual infection). You could acquire a different, more aggressive, more drug-resistant strain of HIV. You can read about this in the archives.
2. You could acquire another STD (syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital warts, etc.). A second STD could cause your HIV to flare.
Whether you're positively charged or a neggie, safer sex techniques (condoms) remain essential.
Stay safe. Stay well.
Dr. Bob

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson is preparing language to continue certain farm bill programs in legislation Congress is expected to pass before the end of this year.
Peterson said the language is needed to continue authority for many programs in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 that could be disrupted due to the now almost certain failure of Congress to pass a new farm bill in 2007. The farm bill budget baseline is also at stake, he noted.
"This provision will protect the budget we have for the farm bill that Congress is currently writing," he said. "We have seen promising movement in the Senate, and I am confident that we can finish work on the farm bill early next year. This interim step should ensure we have the time and resources we need to get the job done."
A spokesman for the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry said Committee Chair Tom Harkin has agreed to the short-term extension of the current farm bill.
"We want to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks while we work on a new bill in Congress," said Kate Cyrul. "This need became more evident — and Chairman Peterson and his staff were convinced — when economists realized we could lose billions from our baseline if anything were to lapse.
"This short-term extension provides funding at a low level to keep agencies running, while keeping the pressure on to get a new, five-year farm bill passed as soon as possible."
Peterson's language will provide short-term continuing authority through March 15, 2008, for most programs in the 2002 farm bill to avoid budgetary changes before the new bill can be completed.
The budget authority for most of the 2002 commodity support programs continues through the 2008 harvest for those crops to the 2008 crop year. Program provisions for the 2008 crop will be included in the new farm bill.

Vertigo is a feeling of spinning or whirling when you are not moving. It can also be an exaggerated feeling of motion when your body is still. Vertigo is a symptom that can be caused by many different conditions. Vertigo is different from passing dizziness or lightheadedness.
Inner ear nerves and structures sense the position of your head and body in space. Vertigo is often caused by problems with these nerves and structures. Less commonly, it is due to problems in the brain.
Vertigo can be classified as:
Vertigo of peripheral origin is caused by problems of the inner ear. It is the most common type of vertigo. Causes may include:
Vertigo of central origin is not as common as vertigo of peripheral origin, but it is more serious. This type of vertigo is affects the brainstem or the cerebellum, the region of the brain that controls balance. Causes may include:
Vertigo is a symptom that may be caused by many conditions. Having any of the conditions will make your more prone to having vertigo.
Common vertigo symptoms include:
Vertigo is different than lightheadedness. With lightheadedness, there is no sensation of movement. People often feel lightheaded before they faint.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. To find the cause of your vertigo, additional tests may be done. Tests may include:
Vertigo is a symptom of another medical condition. Treatment will focus managing the underlying medical condition. Efforts may also be used to decrease the symptoms of vertigo. These may include one or more of the following:
In some cases, you may need to stop taking medications that may be causing your vertigo.
Living with vertigo can be challenging, but not impossible. Try these tips:
If you are in a crowded open space, or out in public:

As Washington tussles over a deal to avert $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts, how has the so-called "fiscal cliff" situation changed the risk preferences of exchange-traded fund investors?
Not by much, according to brokerage firm ConvergeEx Group, which said this week that ETF money flows have been positive on a number of timeframes, making them "an ideal laboratory to dissect 'fresh money,\'\" or asset allocation.
Money flows into ETFs — about 1,440 currently trade on U.S. stock exchanges — have picked up through the fourth quarter, with the group taking in $14.2 billion through Nov. 27. Equity ETFs took in 61% of all fresh money over the last month, beating the year-to-date average of 52%.
Signs of risk aversion have cropped up on the bond-ETF scene, ConvergeEx said.
Government-debt ETFs attracted 77% of the $4.7 billion that poured into fixed-income ETFs over the last month, compared with 17% on a year-to-date basis. "But if you are looking for broad signs of panic, or even mild discomfort, from investors, ETFs betray very little concern," Nicholas Colas, ConvergEx Group chief market strategist, told clients in the report.
Wall Street has been keying in on the back-and-forth between lawmakers and the White House as they face a Jan. 1 deadline to reach a budget agreement. After earlier this week expressing optimism that a deal will be done in time, House Speaker John Boehner on Friday said discussions with the Obama administration have hit a stalemate.
Meanwhile, President Obama urged Congressional Republicans not to block an extension of tax cuts for 98% of Americans as they debate tax hikes for those who earn more than $250,000 a year, adding that a "clear majority" voted for a balance approach to deficit reduction.
Overall, if there were "any kind of fear trade about the results of the [November] election or the fiscal cliff, ETF money flows simply do not see it. Stock allocations — same as it ever was," said Colas.
Looking at Wall Street's so-called fear gauge, the CBOE Market Volatility Index, or VIX , has been running in the 15 to 16 level, "well below" its long-run average of 20, which says there's "little to fear in the near term, and ETF investors are allocating their 'fresh money' in a similar vein," according to Colas.
Yes, that's a "surprising" finding, he said. "But at least for now, ETF investors think the fiscal cliff is a ride at a Florida amusement park – something they may check out during winter break, sometime in the new year."

Lurie Center for Autism Home
The Lurie Center is a multidisciplinary program designed to evaluate and treat children, adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays.
Parents may have dreams for their children that begin before they are born. However, receiving a new diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for a child can be a life-changing experience for parents. Many parents express confusion, anger, guilt, disbelief and a range of other emotions upon receiving an ASD diagnosis. These feelings are part of a normal grieving process and are often experienced differently by each parent.
Expectations often change when parents learn their child has a developmental disorder, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is important to acknowledge that ASD is not the parents' fault. The etiology of ASD is still unknown. Important first steps for parents are to educate themselves, obtain support, make treatment decisions, and advocate for their child. EducationThe more parents learn, the more empowered they become to make wise decisions and advocate for their child and family. There are many books, articles, DVDs, workshops, websites, and conferences about ASD. As parents take on this task, they need to remember that they cannot possibly learn everything at once. Parents should take their time, and talk with their child's doctor, local autism support center or therapists about reliable sources of information and safe treatments.
Support Parents often feel a sense of urgency to get every intervention in place simultaneously. While putting treatment into place, it is important for parents to find sources of support as they navigate through this journey -- whether it is from other parents of children with ASD, friends, family, religious institutions, therapists, or community agencies. In Massachusetts, the Autism Consortium is a resource for education and support. There are several different autism support centers which offer a myriad of services to families including family support groups, sibling support groups, parent trainings, community events, information and referrals, community outreach and more. Support groups for parents of children with ASD can be very helpful, especially during the "newly diagnosed" period.
Treatment decisionsMaking treatment decisions is an ongoing process throughout the child's development. As the child develops and as new evidence-based interventions become available, options for treatment may change. Identifying and working with a trusted team of providers will help evaluate the child's needs and guide parents to the most appropriate treatment options.
AdvocateParents know their child better than anyone else. After getting the information needed to develop a treatment plan, parents must learn to advocate and not be afraid to ask for the services their child needs. This also is an ongoing process.

14170 NE Woodinville Duvall Road -- Woodinville, WA 98072 -- (425) 489-1403
Food is good and staff is very friendly! My waitress remembered me from my ladt visit which was months ago! She even remembered my order! Call me…impressed!!!!
It doesn't get much better than this for good 'ol comfort food!
We go here from time to time for a great breakfast (served all day) or lunch or dinner. This time I tried the fish and chips. Excellent I might say with a very good home-made crunchy crust. I substituted my fries for yam fries which were delicious. The small salad was good too. We also had the Texas hamburger. Excellent as well. I have previously had their corned beef hash which is home-made, not out of a can. Everything here seems to be home-made, including their wonderful meatloaf or meatloaf sandwiches and pies. Just great comfort food all around. Take your time, relax and enjoy your meal. Treat yourself to a slice of pie or a root beer float. No hurry here. Service is always good too. Would like to see them get a beer and wine license. I think they are working on that now.
We highly recommend this restaurant!
Corn beef hash is really good here. Enjoyed the strong coffee and delicious raspberry peach pie. It was hard to finish the portion was large! I really glad I chose this place for lunch.
I love this series of cafes. I go to the Woodinville location much more, but they were slammed this morning.
Awesome place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Food is almost always great, and in bad days, it's merely above average. American comfort food done right!!!
Don't come here if you're a vegetarian or vegan or avoiding gluten or looking for everything to look like modern art. It's just old-fashioned, down-home cooking.
We just ate breakfast there yesterday morning. Our food was hot, fresh and very tasty, the service was quick, attentive and friendly. I think my breakfast was called "the Continental," which included nice, fresh fruit and the best blueberry bran muffin I've ever had. It was a weekday morning, so it wasn't crowded. Very nice experience.

STAAR results mixed for fifth and eighth graders
SAN ANTONIO — Texas fifth- and eighth-graders made gains on the state math test, according to results released Thursday by the Texas Education Agency, with more students passing this year than in the previous year.
According to the data, which does not include students who will retake the test in May, 79 percent of fifth- and eighth-graders passed the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness math test.
"I characterize it as slow, steady progress for most of the test," TEA spokeswoman Debbie Ratcliffe said.
But the reading test's passage rate for fifth-graders decreased to 76 percent, down a percentage point from two years ago. For eighth-graders, the passage rate was 82 percent, up by two percentage points from two years ago but down two points from last year.
Testing gains from a strong reading push in the early 1990s have fallen off, Ratcliffe said.For fifth- and eighth-grade students, the STAAR reading and math tests are high stakes. They must pass both to be promoted to the next grade.
More Information
Districts have received their campus-level test results but have not yet made them public.
Statewide data can sometimes obscure the local picture. An Express-News analysis last year found sharp disparities in student performance among school districts, correlating with the socio-economics of student populations.
In school districts where more than 80 percent of students were considered low-income, passing percentages for the state test hovered in the 30s for the eighth-grade social studies exam. For the eighth-grade math test, they were in the 40s for some school districts. For reading, it dipped as low as 59 percent for that grade.
Fifth-graders here fared a little better on last year's tests but still had passage rates in the low 60s for both tests at school districts where more than 80 percent of students qualified as economically disadvantaged.

"Brian has a great heart and is a loyal guy. He's the type of guy who would give you the shoe off his foot. This is the worst part of this business," Elway said.
There is no word as yet regarding any replacement of Xanders and I doubt there will be one. "It is a streamline; we're not adding anybody," Elway said.
Xanders started his term in Denver as an Assistant GM in 2008 under Mike Shanahan When Shanahan was fired, Brian replaced him as the GM under Josh McDaniels.
Xanders entered his 19th NFL season and fourth as the general manager of the Broncos in 2012. Prior to his time with Denver, he spent 14 years with the Atlanta Falcons in a variety of coaching, player personnel and football operations positions. He was a member of Atlanta's defensive coaching staff during the club's run to its first-ever Super Bowl berth (XXXIII).
The Broncos are further removing themselves from any part of past regimes. Clearly they are becoming John Elway's team once again.
Elway said the decision was a tough one.
"My responsibility to the Broncos and our fans is to build a championship football team," Elway said. "The setup we have throughout every phase of our football operations will better position us for success going forward.
"Making a change with someone of Brian's caliber is not easy. I thank him for everything he did for the Broncos and wish him all the best as he continues his career."
I find this to be a very surprising release. Is this Elway and X-man not seeing eye to eye. Punishment for a poor draft or something else. This story may be more juicy than it should be. Either way we are going forward as Elway's team. No more EFX, just EF ~ Aussie.

In Rush'N Attack Ex-Patriot, a clandestine struggle exists between Russia and the United States for military intelligence during the shadows of the Cold War.
When the CIA discovers that the Russians have found a never-before-seen material used to create devastating nuclear missiles, they form a secret branch called "Harvest" to infiltrate and investigate the Soviet weapons program. The Cold War soon ends without a bang and the operation is discontinued. Decades later, new operative Sergeant Sid Morrow, call sign "Wolf Spider", is tasked with retrieving an abandoned member of Harvest, re-evaluating the missile threat, and sabotaging it if necessary.
Rush'N Attack Ex-Patriot takes players through three massive environments of a Siberian prison complex, a bio-weapons laboratory, and a nuclear weapons base. In each location, gamers will have to complete a variety of mission and survive encounters with a variety of Russian soldiers from prison guards to elite paratrooper, snipers, and more.
Players choose their own gameplay style by moving through each level loud and fast or silent and deadly. As they find themselves almost always outnumbered, players must avoid constant detection from the vigilant guards and the unblinking eyes of security cameras. Armed with a little more than a knife, the players will have to scrounge for weapons and supplies to survive as they are truly behind enemy lines.

Liverpool are being linked with a loan move for Chelsea attacking midfielder Lucas Piazon.
The 19-year-old Brazilian joined the Blues from Sao Paulo in January 2011, and made three appearances in all competitions for the Stamford Bridge outfit last season.
He ended the campaign on loan in Spain however, featuring in 11 La Liga matches for Malaga at the end of their campaign.
Piazon enjoyed the experience of playing regular football, and hopes to leave Chelsea on loan again next season. The teenager has an eye on the Premier League.
"It's hard to say how often I will play or if I will play at all. We have to wait and see if any Premier League clubs will be interested in me," he said, according to The Daily Mail.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is one of those eager to land the teenage playmaker, the paper claims, with the Northern Irishman looking to add to his attacking options at Anfield.
The Reds have already added centre back Kolo Toure to their ranks on Merseyside, and are now looking to add a player who can help score goals at the other end.
Liverpool aren't the only Premier League team to be linked though, with newly-promoted Crystal Palace also reported to be keen.
Piazon only seems interested in a short-term move though, with the youngster revealing his delight at the arrival of Jose Mourinho in west London.
'"I am excited, everything will change. It will be very good to work with someone like Mourinho," concluded the Chelsea starlet.

U-Haul Detaches From Vehicle

According to state police, David L. Binkley was involved in an incident on December 1 just west of the Mountain House Bar and Grill at 4:40 p.m. Charges against Binkley have been filed through Magisterial District Judge Wendy Mellott.
Hustontown Man
Not Injured
A 19-year-old Hustontown man was not injured during a single-vehicle accident along Battle Ridge Road on Wednesday, January 15.
Pennsylvania State Police in McConnellsburg said Allan D. Martz was travelling southbound at 6:50 a.m. when he lost control of his 2000 Toyota Rav 4. The vehicle crashed into an embankment, spun counterclockwise and struck the embankment a second time before rolling over.
Martz was wearing a seat belt. He will be cited by state police for a traffic violation related to the vehicle's tires. State police were assisted on the scene by Hustontown Fire Police and Lilley's Towing.
Waterfall Man Sentenced
A Waterfall man was sentenced in the Huntingdon County Court of Common Pleas on January 9 in connection with a driving-underthe influence-related accident last April.
Forty-seven-year-old Kevin Roberts will complete a year of probation and pay $450 in fines as well as court costs.
State police said Roberts' accident occurred near the intersection of Bedford and North streets in Wood Township. He allegedly had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol when he was found by troopers as well as emergency responders. He is also accused of being verbally abusive to troopers and spitting in their direction. His blood alcohol content was .127.
Fuel Purchase Card Stolen
Unknown individuals broke into a vehicle belonging to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources between 3 p.m. on January 10 and 9:30 a.m. on January 13. Reports indicate the thieves entered the vehicle parked at 440 Buchanan Trail by breaking a rear passenger window and stole a fuel purchase card. Anyone having further information pertinent to this case should contact state police Trooper Doriguzzi at 717-485-3131.
Mischief Reported
An unknown vehicle drove across a yard and left ruts at 1365 Great Cove Road in Bethel Township. The mischief occurred between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 14. Anyone having further information concerning this case should contact state police Trooper Watkins at 717- 485-3131.
Franklin County Man Accused Of DUI
A Franklin County man has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in connection with a traffic stop along Great Cove Road. State police in McConnellsburg reported 26-year-old Chambersburg resident Brandon Charles Barry was pulled over by troopers for a vehicle code violation on December 31. Barry was placed under arrest and transported to Fulton County Medical Center for blood testing. Charges have been filed through Magisterial District Judge Wendy Mellott.
Police, Postal
Service Investigate Threat
Pennsylvania State Police in McConnellsburg and the United States Postal Service are investigating threats made against employees at the Waterfall Post Office on Wednesday, January 8.
According to reports, a 6- foot white male weighing approximately 200 pounds entered the post office and made a threat against the facility as well as the employees at 9:30 a.m. The man is approximately 50 years old and was wearing a dark button-up shirt and dark pants. Anyone having additional information pertinent to this incident is asked to call state police Trooper Remeikas at 717-485-3131.
Teens Escape Injury
Two northern Fulton County teens escaped harm during a single-vehicle accident along Mountain House Road on Tuesday, January 14.
Pennsylvania State Police in McConnellsburg said a 16- year-old Wells Tannery boy travelled over a patch of black ice just east of the intersection of North Valley Road at 10:37 p.m. The teen's 2000 Ford Ranger struck an embankment and rolled over.
Neither the driver nor his 17-year-old female passenger from Hustontown were injured. Both were wearing seat belts. The truck was removed from the scene by Tinman Towing.

There have been some well known blogging voices that have faded into the sunset this year. This happens all the time, but it still seems odd to read a post announcing a blog's end or a blog going on hiatus.
Today, Cynwise of Cynwise's Warcraft Manual announced that he's going to take a break from blogging until next year.
I'm going to miss Cyn's walls of text, his self deprecating humor, and his sharp insights into PvP and BGs in WoW. He was always thorough in his analyses, and he never believed that BGs were so hard that a noob couldn't excel at them. After one of his entries in his magnum opus, The Decline and Fall of Warlocks in Cataclysm, I quipped that if he brought that level of detail to his job, I'd want him on my side in an argument at work. He never, and I do mean never, came unprepared to a topic.
I've moved Cyn's link down to the Blogs in Mothballs section, but I'm really tempted to move it to the References area.
As with Ratters when he retired, I'll miss ya, Cyn. Don't be a stranger.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sharon Day, a former Costa Mesa High standout, successfully defended her indoor title in the women's pentathlon with 4,478 points at the 2013 USA Indoor Track & Field Championships Friday at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Day, a two-time Olympian, won with a margin of 145 points to earn her second consecutive USA Combined Event Championship title. Day recorded a personal best in the shot put (49 feet, 5 1/2 inches) and the best mark of the day in the high jump (5-11 1/2). She ran 8.57 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles, jumped 19-1 1/4 in the long jump, and ran the 800 in 2:20.
Day will return to competition on Sunday in the women's open high jump.
Bettie Wade, the 2011 USA Indoor Combined Event champion, finished second with 4,333 points.
Lindsay Lettow, a four-time Division II NCAA champion at Central Missouri, finished third in her first USA Indoor Championship.
The event can be viewed Saturday on Universal Sports from 3-5 p.m. PST and Sunday on NBC Sports Network from 1-3 p.m. PST.
Portions of Friday's competition can be viewed online via RunnerSpace.com.
"It feels really good to repeat, hopefully next year I can make it three," Day told USA Track & Field. "It was a good day, there were definitely ups and downs. I started off with an okay hurdles, then okay high jump, but an amazing shot put, so that kind of redeemed the other two. This facility is amazing and especially for the high jump. There is so much bounce on the surface. This is my first time running at altitude and I had forgot my 800 [meter] shoes. I've got lots of rehab and rest [Saturday], then I'll come back on Sunday afternoon for the open high jump."

Possible infection
Jan 17, 2011
Please answer me doc. I will donate.
I met a guy December 3rd 2010 we went to his hotel room and we had oral sex. I have asked him prior to sex on his hiv status and he said he was negative. I has a cold soar on my upper lip and we had 69 so we performed and each other. He did not cum on my mouth and i did not on his. when i went to get a towel i saw a regiment of pills on the bathroom on a daily pill management thing. So i asked him about his staus and he said he is neg. 4 to 5 days later i start feeling nauseous and not feeling right and a rash on my body left side that healed in 3 to 4 days. This continued for a while and gotten worse by the 4 and the 5th week. the 5th week i got these symptoms
1- Nauseous with no vaulting. 2- Stomach pain and growling no diarrhea 3- head aches 4- My through was a bit painful 5- No apatite but i was able to force my self and eat. 6- A rash a bit raised and a bit reddish the size 1" in diameter on my left arm 7- I felt feverish but my temp showed 98.2 when i checked it. I took a rapid test January 6th and it came up neg. Everything went away January 9th like nothing happened. My questions to you sir are:
1- Could this be early hiv symptoms or acute hiv? 2- Can i rely on my 5 weeks rapid test? 3- Can this be only anxiety?
I called few center and i got conflicting informations. I'm dying of anxiety and fear for my wife and kids.
Thanks, Bill.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your HIV-acquisition risk (unprotected insertive and receptive oral sex with a partner of unknown HIV status) is very low. Symptoms are notoriously unreliable in predicting who is and is not HIV infected.
Responding to your specific questions:
1. Very unlikely. Symptoms associated with HIV acute retroviral syndrome generally manifest two to three weeks after primary infection with the virus. However, after a potential HIV exposure, the only way to determine conclusively if you've been infected is to get an HIV-antibody test at the three-month mark.
2. No. HIV-antibody tests taken before the three-month mark are not considered to be conclusive.
3. Yes, absolutely. Anxiety and probably guilt as well. Not only did you have extramarital sex, but you did so with another guy. I would suggest you level with your wife. It's not only the best way to confront your anxiety and guilt; it's also the right thing to do. Counseling may also be warranted to explore sexual orientation issues.
Thanks for your support of The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation (www.concertedeffort.org). It's warmly appreciated. In return I'm sending my good-luck karma that your definitive three-month HIV-antibody test will be negative.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob

Photo of Saint Roch and his dog on the altar at St. Roch Chapel Cemetery, St. Roch is the saint of dogs and dog lovers. St. Roch was born in Montpellier, France with a red cross on his chest. He became an orphan at 20 years old and inherited the governorship which he turned over to his uncle. He gave away his fortune to the money and went a pilgrimage to Rome. During his journey he healed people in a town afflicted with the plague. He later fell ill and went into the forest to die. A dog discovered him and licked his wounds and brought him bread everyday. His health was restored and he went home to France where no one recognized him. They declared him a spy and put him in prison where he and his dog cared for other prisoners until his death. After his death, the people discovered the red cross on his chest and his true identity.
St. Roch Chapel Cemetery erected by Father Peter Leonard Thevis, pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church. The congregation prayed to St. Roch during the New Orleans yellow fever epidemic in 1868. All of the church members survived the epidemic after petitioning St. Roch. Father Peter Leonard Thevis built the chapel and cemetery in honor of St. Roch.
In a small room next to the altar are a collection of unusual items left by grateful healed petitioners.
A wall filled with crutches and shoes from followers of St. Roch.
Prosthetics left by people healed from praying to St. Roch.
St. Rock Thanks
Thank You Stones on floor
Thomas, my Taxi Tour Guide Driver took me to the cemetery to see the little girl who turned to stone.

These tires came stock on my 2016 F350 DRW, I tow a 40 foot gooseneck flat bed trailer or a 48 foot 5th wheel car hauler all the time all highway driving. Have 110,000 miles on these tires now will get another 10k out of the steers probably 25k on the drives. I flipped the steer tires from Left to Right once at 60K, I keep them at 70 PSI. Think I'm opting in for another set of 6 :) JUST A GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE
5 out of 5Submitted by Brad in Connecticut on 12/31/2015(2004 Ford F-150 STX 4x2)
Tires have been great. I currently have 64k miles on them and have had no issues. I am getting another set for the winter.

Great Tire!!

Have had them only a few days and cannot give fair evaluation of them...yet.
I am impressed with dry condition handling, and the ride is very smooth - especially for an SUV (light duty truck). Good dry weather tire.
4.85 out of 5Submitted by Huffy in Pennsylvania on 10/8/2014(2010 Ford Escape Limited)
Put 30k on these with no issues, 4/32 of tread left. With winter coming on, I decided to buy a new set. I am sure I could have run them another 10k otherwise. I have had my Escape in a few woodsy places and always made it back. Overall, I was very pleased with these tires.

6.6 Duramax Diesel 4x4. I only got 3 years and 45k miles on my OEM Bridgestone Duravis tires. The sidewall cracked too much for me to continue to use them, and the tread was pretty well worn. I bought these General Grabber HTS tires in July of 2009 (265x75x16 E). I have over 70K on these tires and there is still plenty of tread left. They are nice and quiet on the highway, and they performed well in the New England seasonal weather. I tow a 35 foot camper about 5 times a year, and these tires have stood up very well. I rotate them every 6 months religiously. I always check the tire pressure and keep them at 58 - 60 psi for both front and rear for daily driving. These tires were a very good buy, and I will definitely consider them again for my next set.
My only negative thing to say is that they are very difficult to balance and keep balanced. I ended up using some balancing beads inside the tires to keep them balanced. The balancing beads made a huge difference.
2.45 out of 5Submitted by Ricky in Texas on 2/13/2014(2007 Hyundai Trucks Santa Fe GLS)
Had for less than 2 years. Tread is almost gone. Mostly light city driving. Highway driving is rough-riding and noisy. Would not recommend or buy these tires again.

Like I said in my review of the Grabber AT2, I only run these tires in the summer months just because snow traction is not very good, but then again what do you expect from street tread. I like them, they are quiet, ride well, and have about 38,000 miles on them. After that many miles, I'm happy enough with them to say yes, I will buy another set.

Had these on our family vehicle and they were great.

Not a good tire for New England weather.

I just got these tires over the weekend to replace my original tires. Let me tell you the difference is night and day. It rides so smooth and I feel like I have a new car. I hear they're good in the rain, but I didn't get to try that yet. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a nice quiet ride.
4.55 out of 5Submitted by Trevor in Pennsylvania on 2/6/2013(2004 Kia Trucks Sorento LX)
Great tire for the price, very little tread wear after 30,000 miles. Run these tires 70 to 100 miles a day. Work's great in 4x4.
