Abortion's been a heated debate for many, many years now. Still no compromise has been made on it. So we should just agree to disagree and let it go, right? Not that easy...
First off, let me start by saying that I don't practice any form of religion, I don't go to church, and I believe that it's a couple's choice to have an abortion, not someone else's. The reason I write this article this week is because on Thursday, a Christian girl wore an anti-abortion t-shirt to *school*, which I don't really have a problem with. It's just that no school officials made her take it off or anything. Funny how anti-abortion t-shirts are allowed and books like Huck Finn aren't. That's another story, however...
Anti-abortionists claim that we are killing babies every time an abortion is done. Well, yes, this is true, but consider all the factors which would motivate a couple towards having an abortion. Wouldn't it be better to have an abortion than to have a baby which was unplanned and not particularly wanted? What if a family cannot support another baby financially? I don't consider abortion to be murder, as the baby won't lose much if it's aborted early in its development.
What if a woman has been raped and she doesn't want to have the rapist's baby? Should she have a forced child just because some other people think abortion is murder? Is it okay to not have an abortion but start an illegitimate family line?
How about if a baby was going to be born without a brain and the mother and father didn't want to have to watch it die in front of them? Is someone else's opinion worth it to have to endure the grueling death of their deformed baby?
So many questions, yet so few definite answers. It's all based on religion and one's opinion, right? So let the couple decide whether to have an abortion or not. It is no one else's choice whether a mother should have a baby or not. People have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body, especially if they don't even know the woman.
I'm sick and tired of strongly religious people and strongly opinionated people telling others what they should be doing. People need to butt out of others' lives and let them make their own decisions. If someone doesn't worship the same religion as you do, don't force yours upon them just because you think your religion is superior. When it comes to religion, each different philosophy thinks it is the correct one. So what if the one true religion is Buddhism and you've been worshipping Christianity all this time? You're screwed when you die, eh? You're better off accepting people for who they are and accept their views and opinions as simply differing, nothing more.
It seems to me that people who consider abortion an option are not as fanatical about it as the anti-abortionists. Pro-choice folks aren't often seen banging the doors down and killing people as they work. Yet *some* pro-lifers think it's okay to harass abortion doctors and even kill them. I see, so someone who aborts babies deserves to be victim of the sin of murder? Kinda hypocritical on the part of these few anti-abortionists, eh?
Abortion doctors are closing shop all over the country because they're being harassed by anti-abortionists who think their opinion is the only one. Not only are the doctors' lives put in danger, but think about all the women who need to have abortions but can't. What do some of these women resort to? They must either have the unwanted baby, use a coathanger, or go to Mexico and have a doctor (who may not be a professional) abort the baby. The woman is highly in danger, for she may get severe body injury trying to get rid of the baby. Such a situation is too cruel; I don't see how anyone could think they're doing a good thing by forcing women to do dangerous things to their bodies.
The girl who wore her anti-abortionist t-shirt to school said that if our parents had believed in abortion, we may not have been standing there to tell her what we thought. Maybe so, but I was a planned baby. Think about all those unwanted children who now either don't have fathers or who can't rely on their parents to give them food, shelter, and clothing. Is all the suffering necessary?
Anti-abortionists should be more concerned with teaching how NOT to get into the situation in the first place. After a woman becomes pregnant, she must deal with it with her husband or boyfriend, and they must make the decision themselves, based on how well they'll be able to support the baby once it enters the world. Anti-abortionists should inform people about contraception, yet stay cautious when discussing premarital sex. Many people find premarital sex okay, but those people must be aware of how it may affect their lives if the woman becomes pregnant. They should be aware of venereal diseases, finance, living conditions, school plans for themselves, and what they want to do with the rest of their lives. If they are ready for what may happen with premarital sex, then it is their decision to have premarital sex, not some stranger's decision. Married couples should have the same concerns and undergo the same planning as unmarried couples. In short, before doing anything which may have a huge impact on one's life, that person should make himself well aware of the benefits and drawbacks.

Journals as Research (just take me to the loony bin already, pretty sure y'all keep it around the corner, over there by the recycling)
I think the answer to moving forward on how I can heal my brain sits in the tub of journals sitting across my floor. In fact, I know it.
You know, I've had a lot of bastard people call me crazy in the span of my 20 years, and although I wish them the best, I am just itching to prove those people wrong. I know that might be arrogant, but if this blog hasn't been spontaneously destroyed with the divine stamp of "arrogant terrible person" yet, I may as well milk this introspective stuff for all it's worth.
I don't think I will turn into a recluse. I know it is part of my family. I want to know why.
I say very similar things, in the exact same speaking/writing voice, in all that I write.
Coming up for a simple code to figure out how to heal myself would be extremely easy. I knew this was coming before I left for Chile, and I even wrote down the first and last entry date of all my entries into a piece of paper, and a spreadsheet I had stored on my Google Drive.
Thing is, if I'm legitimately crazy, then we'll all know it then. If not, people are looking for budget friendly solutions to mental health madness, right? I see y'alls crazy and I raise you 40+ journals. Let's make this duel a thing.
Seriously, if I can't understand how I think, I can't understand how anyone thinks. I can't make them any happier or say anything decent, because my brain will always be slightly unhinged, because I simply don't understand. If analyzing for the patterns I see things in and comparing them to the world has always worked out so far, by the grace of God, why the hell wouldn't I run into those flames? Fear can stop anyone. But this is right. I know it is. I know it for sure.
Quite frankly, people already think I'm a wing nut here and there. I would LOVE to see those people shut up, and more than anything, I would LOVE to be able to use this enhanced, time given understanding to produce lasting healing in other people's lives. If I could use what I know and remember to change the trajectories of other people's lives for the good, then why shouldn't I try? I'm not running from this anymore. I will find out.
Whether or not people accept this idea isn't just indicative of what they believe about God, healing as a whole, spirituality as a whole, mental illness, deviance, etc.; this crap is personal. In any standard trial, that would disqualify me, because it might influence something negatively, due to bias. But I'm sorry, we all have biases. They can be big or small or crazy or silent, and quite frankly, I don't care. I know that there is valuable information in that tub, and if it only makes my life a little easier to breathe, I'm going for it.
I don't believe in canonized medicine, for the most part. I believe our bodies can heal themselves, if we give them the chance. I don't believe in prescription drugs for lifestyle issues, and I know that many cultures around the world don't either. Even if it comes to nothing, at least I will learn. Debunk some mis-assumptions. There is no flaw in this, because it's not like I want to be a success-talking Einstein. I just want to help people, and if possible, myself. I know who I am, and any time I have been in a "caretaking/giver" kind of role, I have been the happiest little butterfly on this side of the planet. I can do plenty of things that rely on logic and facts and whatnot, but for real, those are not the entire side of the picture in most people's lives that I have ever met, and y'all can't tackle me for what you're too classy to study. I see your class and I'm calling you out. I'll let you know, and I think even if I'm wrong, the practice of just doing it will free my from my past. Let's see what was actually there. *Cracks knuckles*
Christ has given me fearlessness. I am not wasting that. Not here, not now, not then, not ever. If it takes some hard work to make my dreams a reality, since when has that not been a part of me? I am so sick of suffering bullies who are so often wrong, and so often clinically level wrong. We all hide behind these statistics instead of saying what we really think. I'm sick of it.
Not all healing professions or professionals have attitude problems, but the entire assumption of trying to "heal" what isn't always broken seems like a crackpot's wet dream to me. I know that people have good intentions. But every scientist has a certain amount of baggage from just being a freaking human being, and if I'm just being proactive with my assumptions and transparency, then so be it. I don't really want to go into research, but you know what? I might be onto something, and who the hell would ever know it if I don't try? I'm doing it.
Even if I'm delusional, at least I'll get a couple demented arch-nemeses out of this, right? Lol. I see you one Michel Foucault and I raise you twelve noncents. Isn't that how science is done, anyways? Nobody likes each other because they separate to their separate camps, and throw up their hands when they can't seem to work together. Uh-duh. That was decided on the grad school applications, mkay? That one was a given. Learning how to make your poorly-adjusted work in practice? Now aren't we all human. Lol.
If I was legit crazy, wouldn't I be slightly less charming? Ahahhhhhah okay actually they'll probably say that means I have dementia. Farts, science. Farts.
My Google Calendar is just another "ritual" to you ppl, right?
What about the manner in which I tweeze my eyebrows? Does that ruffle your feathers too? Maybe I should Rorschact my way into an A. We're learning that right now. I like my teacher, but our class consists of making fun of bad science sometimes. Lol. Welcome to research, and join the cakewalk. Didn't I say that about college once? (hahha jk I totally did, it was just one of those thought boogers that stuck)
If they couldn't find the perfect disorder for me as a kid, I assume that either means that I broke the tests, they were totally wrong, or I'm just too terribly "deranged" to have any hope of a "happy" life. Look who's laughing now. I'm pretty happy as I'm typing this. This misdirected anger may actually do me some good. The goal is that it would be a good I could somehow share.
But seriously, in terms of research methodology, I'm not really sure this would even be a thing. I'd have to think about what I'd even code for. I know that there are software that could provide a way to linguistically analyze some of the things I've written, but as crazy as it sounds, it may be best to do it in terms of raw emotion, and start there. I can always come up with a better system. If it is true, then it will be true in whatever nonsensical way I find to measure it. It's not like these journal entries are time sensitive material. My perspective is pretty time-sensitive. But there has got to be a way to eliminate that. It may be complete bull crap, but how will I ever know otherwise? It's not like I have much else to do.
School will always be my priority while I'm in college, with Church, and friends, and family, etc. School is an occupation, church is a lifestyle choice. I can do all of these things through Christ who strengthens me. I'm not scared anymore. It's time.

And Ms. Kagan, the solicitor general and former dean of
Ms. Kagan's responses, during a long and sometimes tense day of parrying with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, were similar to those of Supreme Court nominees past. But unlike her predecessors, Ms. Kagan wrote a 1995 article calling for judicial nominees to be more forthcoming. On Tuesday, minutes into her testimony, she backpedaled, saying she now believed it would be inappropriate even to answer questions that might "provide some kind of hints" about her views on matters of legal controversy.
"I think that that was wrong," she said. "I think that — in particular, that it wouldn't be appropriate for me to talk about what I think about past cases — you know, to grade cases — because those cases themselves might again come before the court."
The remark set the stage for a day of hearings in which Ms. Kagan struck a delicate balancing act that proved frustrating to some senators even as the White House declared her "open and forthcoming." Senator
And Senator
But while Ms. Kagan may have stuck to her script, she was hardly wooden or bland. With her New York accent and wry sense of humor, she showed flashes of her playful side.
She rendered Mr. Specter speechless when, in asserting that Supreme Court oral arguments ought to be televised, she declared, "It means I'd have to get my hair done more often." When Senator
But such moments — "I'm enjoying some of the ethnic humor here," the committee chairman, Senator
Republicans, as expected, questioned her extensively on her decision, while dean at Harvard, to briefly bar military recruiters from using the law school's counseling office, in protest over the "don't ask, don't tell" ban on gay men, lesbians and bisexuals serving openly in the armed forces.
Ms. Kagan repeated that she found the ban "unwise and unjust," and told the committee that she had been trying to reconcile Harvard's own antidiscrimination policy with a provision known as the Solomon Amendment, which requires universities that receive federal financing to give full access to the military. Senator
"You were punishing the military," Mr. Sessions said at one point. Later, outside the hearing room, he came close to accusing Ms. Kagan of lying, calling her "not rigorously accurate" in her explanation.
Ms. Kagan was exceedingly careful on two of the most contentious issues in just about every Supreme Court nomination hearing: abortion and gun rights. When Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of
"Because the court decided them as they did," she said. "And once the court has decided a case, it is binding precedent."
She later described the rulings as "settled law, entitled to all the weight precedent usually gets."
Similarly, in response to a question about abortion rights, Ms. Kagan replied that "the continuing holding" of the court on matters of abortion — except for a case involving a procedure critics call partial-birth abortion — is that "the woman's life and the woman's health must be protected in any abortion regulation."
When asked about the scope of presidential power — in matters like detention without trial — Ms. Kagan cautioned that such cases could come before the court and described a legal framework for analyzing such disputes without saying what answer that analysis would generate.
Still, she allowed that cases in which a president has the authority to act contrary to a statute would be "few and far between," and restated her belief, expressed in a 2007 speech, that former Attorney General
Indeed, Ms. Kagan was unusually expansive when talking about matters in which she is already on record. She volunteered that she is not morally opposed to the death penalty, a position she took when she was confirmed as solicitor general. And she spoke freely about this year's ruling in Citizens United v.
Democrats have portrayed that ruling as "conservative judicial activism." Ms. Kagan — who as solicitor general argued in defense of the campaign finance rules — said she convinced herself in preparing that "we had extremely strong arguments."
Ms. Kagan also displayed a bit of her law professor side, talking more extensively about abstract issues like how constitutional law develops over time. In a mild challenge to the conservative view that the Constitution can be interpreted based only on the original meaning of its text, she said there were also instances in which the Supreme Court had applied a principle embedded in the Constitution in a new way.
She cited the 1954 case of Brown v. Board of Education, which struck down segregation in schools. The case relied upon the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection of the laws, yet Ms. Kagan noted that the amendment's drafters thought it "perfectly consistent with segregated schools."
Justice Thurgood Marshall, who as a lawyer argued the Brown case, has emerged as a dominant figure in the hearings. Ms. Kagan clerked for him, and Republicans, led by Senator Jon Kyl of
On Tuesday, Ms. Kagan told Mr. Kyl that she was not her former boss. "I love Justice Marshall," she said. "He did an enormous amount for me, but if you confirm me to this position, you'll get Justice Kagan, you won't get Justice Marshall. And that's an important thing."
A picture caption on Wednesday with an article about the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Elena Kagan referred incorrectly to several people shown listening to the proceedings. Most of them were her family members; they were not all former students.
An earlier version of this story misstated the circumstances of an exchange between Solicitor General Elena Kagan and Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah, in which Mr. Hatch told Ms. Kagan that she had gone too far in a 1995 book review calling for judicial nominees to speak more openly about their constitutional views. Ms. Kagan said on Tuesday, during her confirmation hearing as a nominee for the Supreme Court, that the exchange occurred during her 2009 confirmation hearing to be solicitor general; she did not say Mr. Hatch had counseled her in a private meeting earlier in the current confirmation process to be more cautious in her testimony.

Dr Rebecca Goss
Co-opted Member
Rebecca Goss is Reader in Organic/Biomolecular Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. She is interested in natural product science in its broadest sense
There is a particular interest within the Goss group in understanding biosynthetic processes and the application of the powerful combination of synthetic biology and synthetic chemistry to harness and redesign these systems, creating new biosynthetic pathways this research is funded through an ERC consolidator award. The Goss group are interested in the manipulation of individual enzymes as well as entire biosynthetic pathways as an expeditious tool for synthesising designer "natural" product analogues of medicinal value. The rapid access to libraries of natural products, that biosynthetic manipulation can afford, is useful for gaining a greater understanding of the exact molecular mode of action of drug molecules.

Ugh. So I decided to try to get some sleep last night, which sort of worked out. I knew I'd be working on this thing all day today. Which didn't work out. I just decided to stay up really late, maybe all night to get some work done. Knowing this, I decided to take a nap. Also didn't work out. Still, I got something done.
The big thing I really wanted to accomplish was the movement. Now, that probably sounds silly, but since I've never really dug into StencylWorks a lot, and the purpose of the competition is to create something from scratch, I knew this was probably going to be my biggest challenge. It was, and demanded of myself that I get it figured out before I go to bed. It was rough. Here it is after 2am Sunday morning and I'm just now finishing up my goal for the day. There were times I almost gave in, "I'll figure this out tomorrow." But I knew that Sunday was going to be rough. I'm going to have to really slam this thing to get it done. So now I at least have a movable character. I know, doesn't sound like much, but from here it's really just content. Don't get me wrong, that is going to take some time and energy, but what I have done is actually huge. It is a baseline for me. I can now come back to this when I am making any future games. I have something to work from.
Ludum Dare 22 ends in 42 hours (the Jam anyway, those Compo guys only have 18 hours!) What can I do in 42 hours? I know I'll lose a lot of that time on Monday for work. For now, I'm calling another 8 for sleep. Well…maybe 6. I hope at least 6.
Screenshots tomorrow once I've made progress with some content.

Contain a url towards your Facebook business enterprise site with your website.
Fb Enterprise Web page – Create your organization website page by clicking the "Create a Page" button.

If you are the operator or founding father of the organization, hyperlink your online business webpage on your individual profile. Hyperlink your online business site towards your Twitter page.
Business enterprise Cards: All business owners know that business cards are necessary resources inside their networking toolboxes. Business cards has to be easy to read and contain your company identify, speak to title and phone info. Black textual content as well as a obvious font are very best. Card scanners can be utilised to seize your card information and facts. Scanners tend not to capture white text. In case you have got a logo and/or a photograph or oneself, these make the playing cards better still plus more memorable. Hand them out at networking activities once you have released by yourself with a organization handshake as well as a smile, wanting another particular person during the eyes.
Elevator Pitch: You will require an assortment of thirty, sixty and 90-second descriptions of what you present. Your "elevator" pitch or "speech" is really a concise compilation starting off out together with your identify, your company identify, whatever you present and at times to whom you give it. Say your identify as well as your firm identify for the close to bolster the listener's memory. My 30-second elevator pitch goes some thing like, "Cindy Freland and i very own (company identify). I am an award-winning digital assistant. I do all of your time-consuming jobs to help you consider your revenue-generating duties. I am generally known as the Fb Queen and i assist you to self-publish your reserve. Cindy Freland, (company name)." 30 and 60-second "elevator" pitches are finest for networking functions, together with Meetups, Business Networking Intercontinental (BNI) and Network Referral Group (NRG). 90-second pitches are generally employed in speed networking activities. In pace networking events, you start out by sitting down in a desk with 7 or maybe more individuals. Every person gets a chance to introduce on their own. Soon after each person has offered their 90-second elevator pitch and provides out their small business cards, they shift to your subsequent desk and they give their pitch again. They do that about 5 periods and fulfill up to forty folks in just two hours. It can be a great method to meet up with several people in a extremely short period of time. Most chambers of commerce provide pace networking situations.

Sophie Perez has never believed the stuff she reads online about possible life in space. Aliens are for the movies, for the weirdoes, and they most definitely are not real.
One night on the way home from a late shift at work, her car breaks down. Stranded on the side of a country road, with a dead cell phone, doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
Until strange neon lights appear in the sky. She thinks it is her imagination.
When an inexplicable circular ship appears overhead, she can't deny what's clearly right in front of her. Especially when moments later, she's taken onto the ship, a human hostage among those who are most definitely not human.
About to become a human guinea pig, possibly worse, the last thing she ever expects is to like the things these otherworldly beings subject her to. In fact, it is unlike anything she's ever experienced.
Will Sophie find her way back to her planet, or will she beg to stay where her pleasure is literally out of this world?

A gunman and suicide bomber believed to be affiliated with the jihadist terror group Boko Haram attacked northern Nigeria's College of Administrative and Business Studies (CABS) in Potiskum on Friday, injuring several students struggling to escape the blast and bringing into question Nigerian military claims that Boko Haram's grip on the nation's north is loosening.
Nigeria's Vanguard newspaper reports that the incident occurred in the Postikum business school in Yobe state, in the nation's north–west of Borno state, the terror group's stronghold. A gunman armed with an AK47 attempted to storm the gate of the school, shooting indiscriminately at those on the other side. Frustrated with his partner's inability to break down the gate, and noticing that ammunition in the AK47 was running low, the man driving the car equipped with an improvised explosive device (IED) blew himself up.
Both the BBC and Vanguard note that no group has taken responsibility for the attack in Postikum, but the two men are believed to be Boko Haram terrorists.
Boko Haram, which recently changed its name to the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), has reportedly suffered major setbacks in the past month.
The Nigerian military has flooded the dense Sambisa forest, believed to be the last major stronghold of Boko Haram terrorists, and liberated upwards of 500 girls and women who had been abducted from towns ravaged by Boko Haram over the past year. Witnesses of the rescue say the terrorists began stoning girls to death when they realized that soldiers were closing in on them and their rescue was inevitable. Several hostages died in rescue attempts.
Witnesses also say, however, that in the last days before they were rescued, their captors were showing obvious signs of fatigue and were severely underarmed to face Nigerian and coalition military forces. Vanguard describes Boko Haram as being "in disarray," with many fleeing the forest to find refuge elsewhere.
Postikum has been the target of attacks before, being one of the major economic centers of Yobe state and home to a number of schools, natural enemies of a group whose name roughly translates to "Western education is sin." A similar attack occurred on the city's Church of Christ in December 2012, also believed to be the work of radical jihadists.

Hey, kittens, it's ThrowBack Thursday, so here's a piece that initially ran in February of 2010.
Question to the Sexpert:
"I know it's a little late to ask now that Valentine's day is over, but how the hell do you figure out what to get a partner as a present? Is there a formula based on how long you've been together, what your intentions are and how much money you make?"
Whether you stand on the side that thinks gift giving is a way to show love through thoughtfulness or you think VDay is just another conspiracy of capitalism to suck the life and cash out of men, you will likely want to buy somebody something at some point. You're free to follow your own formula based on your income and personal gift giving philosophy, but if you want to know what your partner is expecting, I can help you out.
Just as there are differing gift giving perspectives, there are differing gift receivers. For those of us pragmatic folks who find the idea of having to make room for more "stuff" to be odious, we'd much prefer gifts be meaningful and useful than anything else. For someone who considers expensive gifts to be evidence of love and a means of demonstrating value, you're gonna need to shell out some cash on some stupid trendy or shiny shit. Now is the time to honestly evaluate and ask yourself, "how shallow and materialistic is my partner?"
Before we get to specifics, let's look at the overall Gift Selection Formula. In lieu of a flowchart, I've prepared for you lovelies a fancy shmancy line graph. Click twice to embiggen.
As you can see, the calculation of cost and investment involves multiple factors. First, figure out your investment level.
How long have you been together? The longer, the more invested you supposedly would be
What are your future intentions? Here's where it gets sticky. If you like this person a lot, you theoretically express your affection more than if you only like them a little. That means you say "I love you a thousandy billionty million worth!" as opposed to "hey, you're all right. You rarely cause me to vomit in my own mouth and I find our conversations interesting enough that the thought of suicide only comes up once or twice per hour." Conflict arises when the recipient perceives a gift as being not very thoughtful or expensive because it is symbolic of less affection and investment.
How committed are you? Over time we tend to get more lax about gifts, thinking that a 13th valentine's day is less monumental than a first or third. But in reality, if you want to be with someone, you ought to give gifts that reflect your gratitude for them being in your life for so long, when odds are good they could have skeedaddled a hot minute ago and found someone who would be glad to buy them something much more appreciated than a Hoops and YoYo talking greeting card.
How hot are you, exactly? Which brings me to this gem. If you know you're the one getting a real deal in this relationship, your gifts ought to reflect that. The more desirable your partner is in comparison to you, the more you ought to put into picking out the gift. Sorry, but let's be real. That's the trade-off. They are way hotter and cooler than you, so you take good care of them.
From there, you consider the cost based on how much money is required, how much time and effort goes into getting it and how much the gift shows that the giver was thinking of you in particular. The investment and cost are directly related.
So what now?
I Got Mad Skills- If you're good at some craft, art, or practical skill, use it. Make something handmade, compose a piece just for them. It shows time, effort and specificity.
Pay Attention- is there something your partner mentions they would like to buy for themselves but does not because it's too impractical? Is there something they look at in the stores for a long time? Go get it!
I'm Tripping- Plan a day trip around your own town or a getaway to a nearby city for the weekend. Personalize it by looking into activities your partner would find fun. This can be expensive or cheap; the point is the effort and thoughtfulness.
Ah, memories- So you got no moneys? Put together a scavenger hunt with each clue having to do with a sweet memory you have together. Write a list of things you love about your partner on pieces of paper and fill a jar with them. Put together a scrap book or album of important photos. It's creative and romantic.
Good luck, kids.

Weekly? Whatever you say...
Welcome to the negativity-free analysis (or whatever you call it) of the Patriots! Hope you enjoy some history and other fun extras!
Stuff Gronk Says
Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Rob Gronkowski is an important and interesting part of this current Patriots team.
Here are his best quotes:
Since it's summer...
The newest of the commercials!!! So excited to see these back! Enjoy this and your summer!
This one is the original best! There are some other good ones but this one hits home. Be sure to check out the other ones too because they are also funny.
Weekly NFL Team: Minnesota Vikings
Did you know that the Vikings were named after the Scandinavian culture in Minnesota?
Did you also know that 'Purple People Eaters' was the nickname for the defense in the 70s? Alan Page, a Purple People Eater, became the first ever defensive player to win the NFL MVP.
Home Sweet Home
After enduring the cold seasons at TCF Bank Stadium, the Vikings now will play at a *much* warmer and shinier stadium. Starting this season, the Vikings will play at U.S. Bank Stadium and now everyone can enjoy the indoor aspect (fans, players, coaches, employees,etc.)
Who remembers that playoff game against Seattle? That was extremely cold!!! I'm sorry if I brought back horrible memories, Vikings fans. We all felt for you after that game and we wish the best season for you this year.
Headwear: The dominant fashion in Minnesota is the Helga hat. The typical Viking-style hat can be seen all over the stadium and is modeled by this gorgeous model here.
Fight Song: "Skol, Vikings" has been the fight song since the first season in 1961. Here's the actual song:
Horn: The gjallarhorn is typically played during games. The gjallarhorn is from Norse mythology and is known as the "yelling horn".
Meet Viktor
Weekly NFL Team: Miami Dolphins
The third (and second in the series) team from sunny Florida! This team has great history and it's exciting to share about the oldest AFC team from the Deep South.
This year should be commonly known to football fans as the year the Dolphins never lost. They became the only team to go 17-0 in every game including the Super Bowl. So many teams have tried to copy the record but they fall flat (anyone remember the Patriots vs. Giants Super Bowl before the other one that happened?) The crazy part about this record was that they lost their starting quarterback to a broken leg and still won the rest of the games with the backup! If that doesn't prove how valuable backups are, I don't know what will.
The year after that historic season, the Dolphins made history again and won a second Super Bowl (they haven't won since..).
Miami Dolphins Hall Of Famers:
Nick Buoniconti (1969-1974, 1976)
Larry Csonka (1968-1974, 1979)
Bob Griese (1967-1980)
Jim Langer (1970-1979)
Larry Little (1969-1980)
Dan Marino (1983-1999)
Don Shula (1970-1995)
Dwight Stephenson (1980-1987)
Paul Warfield (1970-1974)
Fun(ny) Fact:
In 2009, the Dolphins once released a new fight song by Jimmy Buffett and T-Pain featuring Pitbull, but it received such bad reception that it only lasted a game.
Ever wondered if the Dolphins ever had a live dolphin at games? Find out the answer below!

I'll leave with a joke....
Weekly NFL Team: Los Angeles Rams
I'm somewhat lying when I said that this a weekly thing because I missed last week and I'm so sorry about that. I'll make it up to all of you by posting TWO teams this week!
Meet the NFL's newest/oldest team! So excited to see football back in Los Angeles because football fans in that area were conflicted for years on who to cheer for. The only issue with the Rams being back is that those fans have to decide whether they stick with their old team or go with the new team. The good news is that some stayed faithful to the Rams and already make up a good portion of the fan base. Here's what you need to know about this team:
Hall Of Famers:
George Allen (1966-1970)
Eric Dickerson (1983-87)
Marshall Faulk (1999-2005)
Tom Fears (1948-1956)
Kevin Greene (1985-1992)
Elroy Hirsch (1949-1957)
David (Deacon) Jones (1961-1971)
Tom Mack (1966-1978)
Ollie Matson (1959-1962)
Merlin Olsen (1962-1976)
Orlando Pace (1997-2008)
Dan Reeves (1941-1971)
Les Richter (1954-1962)
Jackie Slater (1976-1995)
Norm Van Brocklin (1949-1957)
Bob Waterfield (1945-1952)
Jack Youngblood (1971-1984)
New Home?
The new stadium for the Rams is not new at all because they played there back in the day. Actually many people played there back in the day and we'll go over that below. The Coliseum is used nowadays for games for the University of Southern California. If you haven't watched a USC game on Saturday, then here's a good view of where the Rams will play until the new, beautiful home is built in Inglewood in 2019.
Puig Your Friend
In case you didn't know, the Rams drafted a quarterback who was a Giants fan and now has to face the issue of sharing the city with his team's rival. He infamously tweeted about his thoughts for Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig back in 2013 and of course, it resurfaced on Draft Day and was discovered by Puig himself.
*Spoiler Alert: They made up!*
View the slideshow below that tracks the new friendship:
Hollywood is calling!
To learn more about the team, watch Hard Knocks this summer! This show goes more in depth with the team and will put the spotlight on players trying to make the roster and not get cut. This is one of my favourites because of how fun the players are. I definitely recommend this show but I do have some warnings....
Viewer Discretion Advised: Yes, there is some bad language and by some, I mean A LOT. The amount of bad language does depend on the team but you will hear it.
Emotional Content: You may or may not cry but you may feel something inside. Watching all-around good guys being told that football may not be their thing anymore really hurts. Especially when they talk about how it was their dream to play this game they loved as a little boy.
Those are main two warnings but you may pick up on other things as you watch the show, like how players really act compared to what they put out on social media.
I hope you learned what you wanted to know!! We will see this team in the summer!
I just really like football.

New Orleans baseball defeats Central Arkansas 11-4 for first-ever victory at Bears Stadium
March 29, 2017

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The University of New Orleans baseball team continued its Southland Conference series against the University of Central Arkansas on Saturday afternoon, besting the hosts 11-4 for the program's first-ever victory at Bears Stadium.
New Orleans (14-10, 4-4 Southland Conference) hit four home runs in the victory, the third time the Privateers have hit four home runs in a game this season and just the second time ever in a Southland Conference contest. Junior outfielder Tristan Clarke paced the attack with three hits and two homers, with junior catcher John Cable and sophomore outfielder Orynn Veillon each chipping in home runs.
"We played with a more competitive attitude today," Clarke said. "We knew the importance of rebounding from yesterday's loss so we came out with a purpose. From the first pitch until the last our team was energized and we got the win."
Clarke opened up the home run floodgates in the second frame, hitting a solo bomb to put UNO up 1-0. Central Arkansas (11-14, 2-6 Southland Conference) responded with three runs in the bottom half to take the 3-1 lead, adding a run in the fourth to create a three-run lead.
The Privateers took the lead in the sixth inning with five runs, loading the bases to open the frame with a single from senior infielder Dakota Dean and back-to-back hit batters for junior infielder Owen Magee and Cable. Clarke cut the deficit to two with a single through the right side to score Dean, with junior outfielder Chase Crump making it a one-run affair with a sacrifice fly to bring Magee home. Veillon gave New Orleans the lead with a three-run blast to score him, Clarke and Cable.
UNO's offense carried over to the seventh stanza with four more runs, highlighted by a two-run homer from Cable followed by a second bomb from Clarke in back-to-back at bats. The Privateers ended the scoring in the eighth inning, with Palmer bringing Veillon home.
On the mound for UNO, sophomore Bryan Warzek went 5.2 innings, allowing four runs, two earned, with six strikeouts to pick up his fourth victory of the season. Freshman right handed pitcher Reeves Martin finished the final three and a third innings, allowing no runs while striking out three Bears for his first collegiate save.
For Central Arkansas, Jansen McCurdy, William Hancock and Brooks Balisterri all contributed two hits, with Keaton Presley providing both of the Bears' RBI. Jacob Murray got the start for UCA, going five innings with four runs allowed and three strikeouts.
"We have to keep up the intensity and consistency," Clarke said. "Not just through this weekend but for the rest of the season. When we play up to our potential we can compete with any team in the country, and we have shown it this season."
The series rubber match between the Privateers and Central Arkansas is scheduled for Sunday, Mar. 26 at 1 p.m. New Orleans is back at Maestri Field on Friday, Mar. 31 when UNO hosts Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at 6:30 to start a Southland Conference series.

In today's politically charged climate, few U.S. manufacturers are likely to shed any tears (at least publicly) upon hearing that China's manufacturing industry has hit a rough patch. Nevertheless, with so many U.S. companies currently using Chinese factories to take advantage of low-cost labor, and so many others seriously looking to the East for competitive reasons, the state of Chinese manufacturing in the coming years will have a profound effect -- for better or worse -- on U.S. companies.
China's manufacturing industry is going through a period that can best be described as evolutionary, according to Bradley Feuling, CEO of Shanghai-based Kong and Allan, a supply chain consulting firm. Many Chinese manufacturing companies, he explains, were launched when the Chinese government began offering a value-added tax (VAT) credit reimbursement to encourage exports. A year ago, however, China reduced or eliminated the VAT export rebates for some industries. As a result, though you don't hear it reported much in the United States, some Chinese manufacturers are operating now at a loss, and many have been severely impacted.
"A number of manufacturers and industries in China are facing very difficult times," Feuling states. "Competition has grown to a point where each manufacturer has a very small piece of a huge pie. Gaining market share means consolidation and acquisition, yet few operations have the cash to invest in purchasing other companies." The majority of owner-operated companies are unwilling to sell to other local companies, though some will sell ownership to foreign buyers for the cash inflow, he says.
End-to-end supply chain involvement is critical for U.S. manufacturers if their goal is to fully understand the cost of sourcing in China. "Sourcing accounts for more than direct cost," Feuling emphasizes. "When you buy a product, you buy the supply chain." He suggests that companies focus particularly on inventory and capacity management.
Absence Of Lean
When it comes to the current state of Chinese manufacturing efficiency, David Hemmings, president and CEO of consulting firm Pacific Rim Alliance, says, "Chinese companies, when compared to Western productivity numbers, are still very inefficient despite a great workforce ethic. It doesn't matter if wages are only $1.25 an hour if there are 2,000 extra people working to make up for their inefficiencies."
|Jintian Group, an example of a modern Chinese manufacturing plant, makes equipment for the electrical and electric power industry in southern China.
As he sees it, the Chinese government does not encourage lean manufacturing because "it wants to spread the wealth and create more jobs, not less. Additionally, it wants companies to take on cost and the burden of social responsibility." The lack of lean manufacturing, he adds, is one of the reasons why only three out of the top 10 Chinese car companies are local domestic producers.
"The big competitive advantage Western manufacturing companies operating in China have over domestic factories is China's manufacturing foundation is based on heavy use of labor and less automation, while in the United States, it's heavy automation," Hemmings notes. "In Europe and the U.S., the successful companies have significantly invested in upgrading their plants."
Growing Pains
Some U.S. industries, of course, long ago moved most if not all of their production work over to China. The U.S. toy industry, which imports roughly 80% of its products from China, came under fire in 2007 when millions of Mattel-brand toys were recalled due to product defects or lead paint, but there's no evidence that any significant movement is afoot to bring that production work back to the United States, perhaps because Mattel itself ultimately shouldered the blame for the recalls. Another U.S. industry that has basically relocated to low-cost production centers like China is the apparel and footwear sector.
"China is the world leader in high-quality, high-volume footwear manufacturing," observes Mark Rave, director of logistics with California-based Ariat International Inc., a manufacturer of equestrian riding boots. "We're in China along with pretty much every other major footwear manufacturer in the world. It's one of the leading countries where we use contract manufacturing."
Although he acknowledges that China is facing some growing pains, in terms of labor shortages in certain areas as well as pollution, Rave points out that Ariat hasn't had any quality issues from its Chinese producers. In fact, from his perspective it's gotten easier to do business with China in recent years. "China has an ever-growing, highly educated middle class, and their business savvy is equal to any other place in the world now."
Jack Watts agrees. "The stereotyped images of sweat shops with dirt floors, windowless rooms with 40-watt light bulbs and workers chained to machines simply do not exist any more," says Watts, operations manager and director of manufacturing excellence for the Northwest Industrial Resource Center, a Pennsylvania-based organization that recently participated in a trade visit to China. "We saw modern, well-lit facilities and huge production areas with row after row of state-of-the-art injection molds, computer-controlled fabrication machines and other high-tech equipment."
Watts acknowledges that it's important for U.S. companies considering a Chinese manufacturing strategy to have a partner well versed in the ways of China. The trade visit he participated in, for instance, was organized by Orient Product Services, which manages and operates a large buying group for manufacturing overseas. "If you don't have someone in China working for you, you have a very high probability that you're not going to get what you want." (See also sidebar, "How to 'China-fy' Your Manufacturing Operations.")
China Is Offshoring, Too
For those U.S. companies waiting for China to start losing its cachet as a production source, Kong and Allan's Feuling doesn't offer much hope. "It's clear that China's exports to the United States are continuing to grow," he observes. "From the large multinational corporations, we don't see a major shift from China as the strongest source for lower cost production. Companies already working in China are looking at alternative strategies such as upstream supplier and supply chain development to address increasing cost factors. This will be a major focal point in the coming years. Large companies realize China is a long-term investment. This improves penetration within the local market and increased visibility and transparency." As for the small to midsized manufacturers, Feuling sees more of them are now looking at sourcing from China to remain competitive and create sales in larger-volume Western channels.
With China firmly established as the country of choice for low-cost labor, naturally enough U.S. manufacturers looking for the "next big thing" are looking closely at smaller, nearby Southeast Asian countries as sources for even lower-cost labor. "As higher wages and inflation occur in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Indonesia are the next primary targets for low-cost manufacturing labor," Hemmings reports. "They have young populations, eager to take their place in the world. Indonesia has great potential, but it's about eight years away; Vietnam and Bangladesh are three or four years away."
Acknowledging the emergence of alternative locations, Feuling is quick to point out, "China is still cost competitive. Raw materials, for example, are commonly cheaper in China, since other countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia must import the materials, increasing the costs potentially offset by lower labor costs. With a stronger established manufacturing base in China, it is easier to identify manufacturers with experience serving foreign customers than in other locations."
Somewhat paradoxically, Chinese manufacturers themselves are shifting some production work to lower-cost countries, a trend that began at least three years ago, Feuling says. This trend, though, is dependent on the product. He cites the example of the apparel industry where because of the higher labor input, other countries such as Vietnam have an advantage of as much as 20% to 30% in lower labor costs. "With the really high competition, low investment start-up cost industries, the profit margin is small and is maximized through very high volume," Feuling says. The manufacture of hand tools (hammers, screw drivers, etc.) is another product segment where the Chinese are looking elsewhere for cheaper production labor.
Know Who You're Dealing With
For U.S. manufacturers still debating whether they should move some of their production capacity over to China, Feuling says, "In some industries, now is a very strong time to enter China. As Chinese manufacturers are dealing with cost influences and the challenges of attracting new customers, strong concessions in the buyer's favor can be made, for example, lengthened payment terms."
He is quick to add, though, "For other industries, our suggestions are to thoroughly evaluate and plan before simply entering. Far too many companies move to China via personal relationships or to achieve the 'low-cost gold rush' without completely evaluating the business model. For example, Friendly's Ice Cream entered China only to realize after they had invested in a manufacturing facility that local cold chain operators couldn't deliver solid product to the customer. Every time the customer received the ice cream, it was melted."
U.S. companies no longer need to be part of a joint venture to do business in China, unless it is in a protected industry, observes Hemmings. "Additionally there is no longer a need to get the Beijing government's blessing, but working with local government is still important. You also need to be distrustful of any Chinese businessman who says he has the inside track," he adds. "Business is less and less based upon just who you know but more on what you know and what you bring to the party."
