Name 'Napping Is So Wrong, But I Got Nothin'
Help mom-to-be Teresa Strasser out with a name-me-down you no longer need!
Teresa Strasser: I know from that stupidly catchy viral "Pregnant Women Are Smug" song that pregnant women don't usually share the names they've chosen for their babies. That may be a smug choice, sure, but I think I get it now. You let the name cat out of the bag, and everyone judges the cat, they swing the cat around by the tail, they project their own issues onto the cat, and now you want to put the whole incident in your emotional litter box and bury it so you can still like the cat as much as you used to.
And of course, there is the danger of getting name 'napped. My friends just had a baby boy and named it Laszlo, and I am madly in love with that name. It's Hungarian, as am I. Victor Laszlo is a character in the movie "Casablanca," and my surname is also featured in that film. Who doesn't remember the line, "Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects"? Okay, that Strasser dude was a Nazi, but I still enjoy the classic movie name tie-in, and when you're looking for magical name signs, anything seems to scream, "This is the one."
Still, you don't 'nap a name.
So we had to let Laszlo go, like Bogey did. And now I have four more months to come up with something.
The first dozen people we told we were thinking of the name James were dazzled. "It's classy and simple," they said. "It's not like one of these newfangled Jayden, Aiden, Caden names," they added. So James shot to the top of the list, but if you tell enough people, someone is going to hate on your name, which is what happened when a former colleague told me that anyone named James would become Jim, and there was nothing I could do about it. Jim. Jims are nice people, they coach girls' soccer without inappropriately touching anyone, they do your taxes without massaging the numbers too much, they walk your dog when you have to leave town suddenly. I like Jims. I just don't want one.
The "Jim-hater" loved our only other name option so far: Shane.
After we got pregnant, we happened to go to the cell phone store and the guy who helped us had a shiny blue nametag with that moniker. And it seemed right with my husband's crazy-long, consonant-rich Polish name. Shane would ride into kindergarten like a Polish cowboy. And all Shanes are hot. But so are Gabes. And Nates. And most Erics.
Once you rule out any names of ex-boyfriends, or names you would be 'napping from your immediate circle, or names recently used by celebrity moms, or names you associate with high-school bullies or former evil bosses, the well runs a bit dry. Trust me, when it comes to girl names, the well of adorably androgynous designations bubbles over, but this boy thing is tough.
I've been thinking that most parents have a few names in the running before choosing the one. What happens to those perfectly good runner-up names? Can I have them? If you loved your second choice but didn't use it and feel it shouldn't go to waste, or if you thought of it only after you screwed your kid with an average name, help a mom-to-be out with a name-me-down you no longer need.

I was a huge ER fan and I swore that if I ever had another child, I'd name him Luka. Now that I see I probably won't have anymore kids - and if I do, the chances of me having my boyfriend agree to that name - are slim to none. So for your consideration: Luka. (Sorry, not Hungarian - it's Croatian, closest to the region I could come up with.)
You can also go with my daughter's back-up name had she turned out to be a boy - Gus - or the names I liked in childhood: Benjamin, Bret, and Sebastian. Or my Russian friend's son's name, Oleg. But I still like Luka best. Just my $0.02.
my fav is Ryan
While I was pregnant we called our son "Justice" because we decided to keep his name a secret (because we hadn't picked one yet). Funny thing is that I read in some parents magazine that Justice was going to be popular name this year. We started something. haha.
My wife and I named our son Cooper and we have only received compliments. We love it! You are welcome to it.
Good Luck!
I like Tristan……reminds me of Brad Pitt's character in "Legends of the Falls"
I like Owen and Nathaniel.
I liked but didn't love the name Chance but dh said there's not a chance in h e l l he'd name his kid that. then we thought about Dustin… but worried about the nickname Dusty but our 1st runner up was Micah. I'd like to make a strange suggestion here… no matter what name you choose yell it before you commit to it. No not for some weird spiritual connection … yell it like you would yell it at you toddler when he's gotten into the markers and written all over your couch, sofa, walls… and yell it like you would yell at you teenager when they have smarted off to you for the last time and you need to make them fully aware that they will not talk to you that way ever again. I know it sounds strange but if you can think of being upset with your child and raise your voice at them and using that name and you still like the sound of that name then that is the name you should choose.
If we ever have a boy, we're naming him Ari Sebastian.
My husband's name is Trendon, which we both think is very cool.
You liked Laszio. Try Lachlan. It's Scottish. (My Hubbie's British/Scottish) More names we considered: Trevor, Stuart, Nigel, Curtis. But finally, we settled on John. And we've had NO problem with people calling him Johnny. Because youngsters today do not subscribe to assigned nicknames circa 1950's, which is probably where the James 'hater' was coming from. On the contrary, youngsters are fine with full names, as well as cool creative nicknames they themselves like to make up. Like 'J' for any name beginning with that letter.
Cute story, and I know EXACTLY how you feel. We ended up going w/ Colton but runner ups were Liam, Landon, Asher, Bryce… Hope you find a name and let us know what you decide!! Oh and my son's middle name is Shane :o)
We're naming our son Dylan but were also considering Jakob. We named our daughter Skylar (making it a little more girlie), but Skyler is more commonly a boy's name.
I know exactly what you mean. When I got pregnant I had so many girl names picked out that she was going to have the world's record on longest name. But the boy name thing is harder, to me at least. My hubby doesn't want trendy or an overly popular name, so I decided to go to the SSA.gov website to see the most popular name last year. Even my hubby's name, Micah (which you almost never hear), makes the top 100! Plus I have so many friends and family having boys this year that they are taking all of the names! 8 weeks to go and I have nothing. Maybe I will just name him Buddy, because that's what I refer to him now, Little Buddy in my Tummy.
I just had a boy and named him Dylan. I really wanted Donovan but my husband did not. I love it.. I know a Donovan and no one has ever called him "Don" ever.. I also like Gavin a lot too.. Good luck T..
how about Noah or Avi (good Jewish name) - neither are too complicated to go with your husband's long last name.
T- I've got your name. Trust me on this- we had our "Gabe" about 20 months ago, and it fits him like a glove- but a STRONG second, and the one that I still have a tinge of regret about not using: Roland. I'm Polish, and it usually goes great with those uhh.. challenging last names. It's uncommon enough, but still regal AND cool.
Feel it out, and thank me on the next Carolla podcast.
We had girls, but my boy names were Ethan (always smoking hot), Evan, and Ian (cool customer, tough and likes rugby).
It's a good thing I had 2 girls because my late-husband and I could not agree on a boy's name. I liked Seth, Corbin, Caleb, Mikah (hub said that name reminded him of the word formica, duh.)
After I was born, my name was 'napped a few times. My Samantha is the only Samantha at her school. There are a couple of female Skylar's younger than my Skylar, but I don't think anyone 'napped the different spelling of her middle name. Living in the south, I just couldn't spell her name as Schuylar because I knew people would call her Shoe-ler the first time they read her name.
My favorite boy name is Gabriel. If I ever have a son I will name him Gabriel Burke.
I also love the names Carson and Micheal.
James is an awesome name, but Jim is terrible. In the same way, Maggie is awesome but Margaret is terrible. I can't tell you my future baby names, cuz I can't have you nappin' them….But Patrick and Liam are pretty sweet.
Well…. You did say most Eric's are handsome. :-)
Since Jacamo is probably not an option for you. Some of the guys I work with are
Stephane, Derrel, Jess, Jerry, Olivier, Greg, Matt, Doug, Mark, Andy, Martin, Phil, Walt, Lou, Scott, Norm, Adrian, Fred, Arthur, and about 300 other guy names but many that you wouldn't be able to pronounce or spell.
I'd go with Oscar myself. :-)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO-AM) Rep. Noem joined Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle today to help move forward the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act (H.R. 935), of which she is a co-sponsor. The legislation, which received approval from the House Agriculture Committee this morning, helps protect more than 350,000 pesticide users nationwide – including cities, mosquito control districts, farmers, ranchers, forest managers, and every day citizens – who are currently subject to duplicative regulations.
"Federal agencies and frivolous lawsuits continue to force redundant regulatory burdens on farmers, ranchers, cities, and every day citizens," said Rep. Noem. "This bill is a step toward streamlining the regulatory process and making it easier to navigate so our communities can go to work protecting our food supply and forests, managing disease-carrying pests in our communities and keeping mosquitos down in cities and towns across the country."
"Regulations have already forced many in South Dakota to curtail spraying for mosquitoes because of the possible exposure to liability issues," said Perry Hofer with Doland Aerial Spraying in Doland, SD, and a representative of the National Agriculture Aviation Association. "Duplicative regulations don't make anyone safer. They just make life a little harder for those of us who are trying to keep weeds and pests away from our families and food supply. I am thankful to Rep. Noem and the Members of the Agriculture Committee for working to streamline regulations so it's easier to do business here in South Dakota."
H.R. 935 addresses a flawed 2009 Circuit Court decision that required pesticide users to obtain a duplicative permit under the Clean Water Act or pay a costly fine. Pesticides have long been regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The 2009 decision, however, made users subject to duplicative regulations and permitting under the Clean Water Act's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) as well. The EPA has indicated that the NPDES extension would provide negligible environmental benefits.
H.R. 935 would clarify congressional intent and eliminate duplicative regulations, so pesticide users would no longer be regulated through the NPDES and instead be held accountable through FIFRA alone.
Rep. Noem has long fought against onerous federal regulations:
- Rep. Noem challenged OSHA when they tried to regulate small family farms. OSHA reversed course. (Click for more information)
- Rep. Noem introduced legislation that passed in the House to prevent the EPA from further regulating dust in a way that could have prevented farmers from working if it was a windy day. The EPA decided not to pursue further regulations. (Click for more information)
- Rep. Noem fought the Department of Labor when they wanted to change child labor rules that could have banned kids from farm chores in many cases. The Department of Labor rescinded the rule. (Click for more information)

Pregnancy Gender Tests: Scientific or a Scam?
A slew of new take-home kits claim to determine the sex of your baby. But do they work?
You may have heard some of the recent controversy surrounding gender-testing tests---take-home kits that let you discover the sex of your baby in the first few weeks of pregnancy.
One product in particular caught our eye: The Pink or Blue Early Gender Test ($240). Here's how it works: You simply prick your finger and mail a sample of your blood to the lab to be studied for fetal DNA. In a matter of days, you'll find out whether you're having a boy or a girl.
Sounds simple, right? Well these gender tests are stirring up loads of controversy from angry parents who have received inaccurate results. What's more, doctors are dismissing the tests as "unscientific" especially because the FDA does not monitor them.
We asked Dr. Cara Natterson, pediatrician and author of "Your Toddler: Head to Toe," for the real scoop.
"For starters, the company doesn't claim to be part of the medical community," she says. "The website says the kits provide 95% accuracy, but they also specify that the results were conducted within an internal company survey -- that means they don't necessarily adhere to the strict standards of scientific research."
"What's more, the company lists ultrasounds as an option to be 100 percent informed, and they also offer a full refund if their test turns out to be wrong," she says.
"It sounds like the company is being as upfront as possible," says Natterson. "And while the unfortunate downside of these at-home kits is that parents can be disappointed if the test fails, the bottom line is you should really be determining the sex of your baby through your doctor who can perform an ultrasound or amniocentesis which will give you a much higher accuracy," she says.
Have you ever used one of these kits? Did it work?
This company should offer accurate results or your money back! ;)
One of my sisters-in-law tried gender selection (through a medical facility)in the late 80's and was interviewed on 20/20. Instead of the girl they were hoping for, they had a 3rd boy. His 2 older brothers tormented the little guy by pointing out their parents wanted him to be a girl that he once tried to burn their house down.
SIL and BIL adopted a girl 6 years later.
Parents should be less concern with the gender and more concern with the healthy of their baby.
Sorry, ame i., I feel sorry for the little boy not your SIL& BIL. They should not have allowed their older sons to pick on their younger son to the extend that he tried to burn down his home (note I used HIS HOME not their house) That's an indicatition how servere his torment at the hands of his own brothers was. I don't think, given what you have stated, that the parents even tried to stop the torment or seek help for THEIR youngest son. Doesn't even sound like they even attempted to reassure their own son that he was very much wanted.
And, just out of curioutesy? If the test had come back "girl" would they have abort their child?
The situation your SIL & SIL went thru was one of their own creation - stop blaming thetesting company.
Im currently 13 weeks pregnant and my husband and I want to try on of these tests. There is one brand called Intellagender that runs about 30$. It's more of a 'just for fun' type thing. We are going to wait until the baby is born to see if we have a little boy or a litle girl. This test wont send me out shopping for pink or blue, it'll just give us a little laugh.
Seriously, is it really THAT hard to wait for your 5-month ultrasound to find out your baby's gender? I'm with Chrissy. The unborn baby's health is the most important thing, whether it's a girl or a boy.
ATTN.Dr. Jill am 5months preganant and am a mother to three girls my husband expect me to get a baby boy how do i go about it and the same time am a very worried mom who does not know where to start since both i and my husband are jobless and we are being kicked out of our rental house. pliz assist. thank you. Grace
i think that these test should be helpfull in a way.im 22 weeks.i went to my ulrasound but they couldnt see waht sex my baby was and i really want to know what im having so i can get everything i need before the baby is born and for the baby shower.if they dont work we should get our money back!

The propane shortage isn't getting any better in the Midwest.
The Indiana Farm Bureau is encouraging grain farmers who use propane for grain drying to check to see if they have any left over and if they do, contact neighbors with livestock barns to see if they need extra fuel.
Young chicks and baby pigs are susceptible might not survive the harsh cold weather if farmers don't have fuel for their barn heaters.
Excess propane can also be returned to the propane suppliers to help out.

In 1971, soon after their first album went gold, Duane and Berry were killed in separate motorcycle accidents in the group's hometown of Macon, Georgia. The group still released more albums and songs, most notably Ramblin' Man and Jessica, which were their biggest hits. Rolling Stone ranked them 52nd on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004.[1] The band is still touring as of 2008.

GENEVA TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- Van Buren County Deputies say Timothy Cowell, a 55-year-old man from Grand Junction, remains in critical condition at a Kalamazoo Hospital after crashing his motorcycle into the back of a Consumers Energy Utility truck. It happened just after 9 a.m. Saturday.
The collision occurred at the Intersection of CR 388 and CR 681 in Geneva Township. The driver of the Consumers Energy bucket truck, 52-year-old Mark Anderson of Wayland told investigators that he stopped at the crossing, didn't see any traffic and entered the intersection.
That's when the 2008 Harley Davidson driven by Cowell slammed into the truck.
First responders found him on the ground. He was transported to South Haven Hospital by ambulance and then airlifted to Bronson Methodist Hospital by AirCare.

These computer tools help to minimize the potential adverse effects of pollution while keeping capital and operating costs from increasing.
Chemical Process Simulation for Waste Reduction (WAR Algorithm): These methodologies help reduce the adverse effects of chemical waste on the environment while minimizing the cost of chemical processing. The goal is to minimize the potential environmental impact for a process instead of minimizing the amount of waste generated by a process. Users can emphasize or de-emphasize different hazards as needed for particular applications. For example, an operation in an area suffering from smog may emphasize air pollution effects, while an operation where workers are routinely exposed to chemicals may emphasize human health effects.
LCAccess: This was designed for practitioners, policy developers, environmental managers, product designers, or other decision makers to better understand the human health and environmental impacts associated with products, processes or activities, and to identify possible improvements across all of the life cycle stages of a product, process, or activity. LCA methods have been standardized as part of the International Standards Organization (ISO).

MIAMI – The Falcons showed off their vertical passing attack against the Dolphins in a 23-6 victory on Friday at Sun Life Stadium.
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan launched three bombs in the direction of second-year wide receiver Julio Jones, who came down with one for a 49-yard gain.
He got his hands on the other two, but was unable to haul them in for catches. One of the attempts would have resulted in a touchdown.
One of the features of the offense under new coordinator Dirk Koetter is the deep passing attack. The Falcons did not regularly throw the ball down the field under former coordinator Mike Mularkey and did not displayed the deep ball much in games against the Ravens and Bengals.
"I think that's one of the things when you are throwing it down the field, you just got to keep taking those chances," said Ryan, who completed 18 of 26 passes for 220 yards and one touchdown against the Dolphins. "You've got to have the timing just right. It's one of the those things where you are 1 out of 3 on balls way down the field, that's not a bad day."
On their second possession of the third quarter, the Falcons had the ball first down-and-10 at their 34 when Ryan took a deep shot down the field.
Jones worked his way back to a slightly under thrown pass and hauled in the 49-yarder.
"It was big because that changed field position for us pretty quickly," Ryan said of having a quick-strike capacity in the offense. "We were in a backed-up situation. …I think that's something that if we can do that throughout the year; change field position with one big explosive play like that, it's going to benefit us."
The Falcons went on to score their only touchdown of the game on that drive when Ryan tossed a 20-yard strike to Roddy White.
Jones finished with four catches for 90 yards. He figures that he'll catch those other two passes he dropped when he and Ryan work out there game-speed timing.
"When the games come around, you play at a higher level than practice," Jones said. "You are going to run faster and you're going to throw the ball farther. Preseason is helping us out."
He wasn't too worried about the near misses.
"We are going to get it," Jones said. "He was just taking some shots. I thank him for that. We are trying to be an explosive team. We just have to take those shots so that when those plays present themselves, we have to know that we are going to be able to hit them during the regular season.
"It was good to get them out there now. It's the preseason. It's just all about timing and we are just trying to get on the same page."
Ryan, who may play just a series or not at all against Jacksonville on Thursday, is having a spectacular exhibition season. He's completed 45 of 60 passes (75 percent) for 549 yards, three touchdowns, an interception and has a quarterback rating of 111.
He's not worried about the running game, which has struggled in the exhibition season. The Falcons rushed for 69 yards on 27 carries against the Dolphins.
"I'm not concerned," Ryan said. "We have strong offensive line and a good stable of running backs. It's something that we'll get rolling as you have a chance to play all four quarters, its interesting to see how things shake out. I think we'll be just fine."

"Matt Ryan completed 18-of-26 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins in the third preseason game.
Coach Mike Smith admitted before kickoff that Atlanta would go with a vanilla game plan so as not to give too much away to the Week 1 opponent. Without benefit of Dirk Koetter's no-huddle offense, Ryan still produced a 107.9 passer rating while directing four scoring drives in 2.5 quarters. Through three preseason games, Ryan has completed 45-of-60 passes (75.0 percent) for 549 yards (9.2 YPA) and a 3:1 TD-to-INT ratio. There's been no more impressive QB in the NFL over the past three weeks."
"Julio Jones led the Falcons with 90 yards on four receptions in two and a half quarters versus the Dolphins in the third preseason game.
Jones made a nice adjustment in double coverage for a 49-yard bomb and just missed a spectacular diving touchdown that would have put him well over 100 yards before halftime. He also led the team with a whopping nine targets, continuing to operate as the explosive focal point in Dirk Koetter's offense. Through approximately six quarters in three preseason games, the unstoppable Jones has piled up 240 yards and a touchdown on 13 receptions."

I believe he was talking about the one in the endzone that went thru JJs hands, and the other where the corner made a great play to save a touchdown and, yes, the ONE underthrown ball which, by the way, was caught. Jus sayin bud. Nice try. Might want to go bury your head if youre gonna start trying to campaign for Davis to be starter. Aint happenin
August 25th, 2012
3:14 am
Crap, I hate when that happens!
What I was trying to say was when will the Falcons be worried by their running game, or lack of one??
While I love the quick short passing game, mixed in w/ some deep throws, a lack of a power running game will hurt this team in the red zone. A lack of efficiency in the red zone is what seperates the good teams from the great teams.
And Saints trolls, be prepared to watch a REAL team tonight in the Texans. And thanks for allowing us to use your stadium again in February.

darn , not much rushing yds for me. Jaquizz is too small. Red zone stunk it up. What is wrong , what is wrong. At least some ppl caught passes. Field goals in the first half, nothing but field goals. That stinks. Does Brady settle for field goals. does Peyton settle for field goals, does Eli settle for field goals ? Hell to the no
Darn I am hungry. Breakfast should be open in a few minutes. I snuck down there and my home dog slid me a lb of bacon, 6 eggs, and a gallon of orange juice. He my dog. Now just got to wait until they open the training lunch room for more.
To my credit I forgot to take my ankle weights off and I think it slowed me down some.
Defense had their moments, but they dont look hungry. Speaking of hungry I got to check the dinner menu online to see what they will be cookin.

Seriously, Davis does look great, glad we signed him. Uh, are you saying Davis was a Falcons draft pick? He went undrafted and signed with the Falcons as a free agent. So the fans were electrified back in the Mora/Reeves days…..they weren't the only thing………!!
August 25th, 2012
10:02 am
I think Ryan underthrow 2 of the 3 passes. He didnt seem to have the cannon that Dominique Davis got. Maybe the Falcon can bring Davis in to throw the long ball and mix in some wildcat runs. Sorry, JPW, but I will save you a place in the unemployment line next week. In unrelated news, Dunta still the weak link in our Defense. It won't be hard to find somebody better than him. Maybe JPW can play CB. JPW can't be any worse.
August 25th, 2012
10:05 am
I hope we get to see D. Davis with the first string for a few plays… I LIKE what little we have seen! P. Jerry… we LOVE you… great work on your recovery! We wish you a long and successful carreer… you have RISEN UP! Lamar Holmes may be a solid backup soon… I know he is working hard on it and he certainly did his job against backups… Go Lamar! We are SO fortunate to have guys like Roddy and Julio on this team… what a duo and H. Douglas will be a force this year too. This will be M. Ryan's best year and that is saying something. Still looking for this O-Line to gel… it's getting there… nice to see new looks and open competition. Who is that number 90 that keeps disrupting offensives? GO Sidbury… Nice work! Bierman also continues to make life difficult for the opposition. Oh… and I noticed that J. Abraham is not over the hill yet! GO FALCONS! Only two more weeks to get READY to RISE UP!
August 25th, 2012
10:08 am
Surely to goodness Falcon's brass can see that Davis has to be the backup qb. If Chris Redman throws another 3 yarder when it's third and 8, I think I will scream. Oh I forgot, I did last night. DD has a great arm and really good vision along with mobility. The mobility gives us a real change of pace with the offense.

Redman shouldn't be in the NFL.Dominique Davis threw the most accurate passes
in the game. Matty Ice needs to throw better passes to his receivers. Matty Ice is overrated.
The Falcons are not going anywhere with Matty. When the game is on the line he chokes.
Dominique Davis appears to have the best arm on the team.D.Davis needs some snaps with the starters.

Falcon Lover- Check out the link that Truth posted earlier in the comments on Matt Ryan's performance this preseason. According to the stats, he's been the best QB in the NFL through 3 exhibition games. Not sure what more you want from the guy. And please, don't forget, this is PRE-Season.
August 25th, 2012
10:58 am
PLEASE dont start this Davis over Ryan talk….YES, I like Davis. VERY good upside (meaning he is still a work in progress) but let's not go crazy here. Do I think he should be our backup even as a rookie, yes and no. Yes because of the upside. No because he really didnt get much time with even the 2s. As long as Ryan can learn to look off his WR this year, the guy should be headed to Hawaii if he keeps this up all year….but PLEASE Birdland, let's not become Philly-South here.
August 25th, 2012
11:06 am
If you notice the ease that Dominique plays QB, it's because he's "The Natural".
August 25th, 2012
11:15 am
Those of you praising Ryan's preseason stats, what is his yards per attempt? How does that compare with the league?
August 25th, 2012
11:17 am
The worst case scenario for Ryan lovers would be that he gets injured and Davis comes in and hits Roddy and Julio on bombs.
August 25th, 2012
11:25 am
Matty needs to look off his receivers to confuse defense.
MaxxFalcon ,Matt's pre-season stats are impressive but if
you want to go there look at his playoff stats. Don't just give
me his good stats. Since we are being honest.Matty is not on
the same level as Brady,Brees,Manning or Rodgers.The Falcons have plenty of
talent. The offensive coordinator should utilize Jaquizz Rodgers in more screen plays.
So far we are still running on 1st down and passing on 2nd and 3rd
Damn this looks a lot like the Mularkey BS

U ppl are crazy if u think dom davis should start over ryan sounds to me like ur all aint trolls undercover noones going for that bull ryan is our guy do i like davis yes but a few good performanses against 3s and 4s doesnt mean squat till he shows up when hes needed his place is at # 3 till he gets some experience to replace red all u atl haters can run along

Not much said about L. Holmes, but I watched his closely and he is just so large that folks can't get around him. Thought he played pretty f'g good. Saw Baker get handed his glutious a couple of times. Shocker! Making him play good is like trying to get the stink out of a skunk fart. Ain't happnen. Ready to rock and tailgate with my Falcons "family" 10 times a year. man, I can taste the tequilla right now. Oh, yeah, it's in a glass on my desk. But you know what I mean.

I'm a big Ryan fan, and I think the criticism of his arm strength is overblown.
The pass to Jones was indeed underthrown, but even elite QBs have plays made like that by superior WRs. It was maybe his worst throw of the night, into double coverage. JJ made a big time play. It was all JJ on that one. Over the course of the season, I hope Ryan can make better throws, even if not perfect ones, to the vicinity of JJ where it is essentially a jump ball. JJ will catch those all day long.
August 25th, 2012
4:23 pm
To the people who think Davis should start: That might be the dumbest comments I have ever heard. He did well against the 3rd stringers? You think because he has a strong arm that means hes better at qb? Either you havetn watched any football ever, or you are just plain dumb. Qb is more than just arm strength. Like its scary bc these people can prolly vote to.
August 25th, 2012

I think the fans are tired and bored of the dink & dunks.
The NFL defenses have caught on.
Just sayin…..
August 25th, 2012

Ryan better watch his back. If his yards per attempt don't improve to at least 8 yards per attempt, which is the elite level, he will start
to hear Davis chants.
Blank pulled the trigger once.

Hello All. Looking forward to another fun season posting with the gang . .. even good Old MCR and SeenThisBefore. Not overly excited about Joe Tesch Fishhouse – but I'll read his/her painful posts anyway:)
Now for Davis vs Ryan. I know how it goes with this gang. But I can say, it was a while back, but I saw both Ryan and Davis play live for BC many times. Davis was OK, but there is no comparison. I actually thought Ryan had the stronger arm – but what do I know. Ryan threw a lot more deep passes in College than he has with the Falcons. We never were concerned about his ability to do so at BC. I know it's the pros now . . . . ..but as many others say . .. . .just saying.

@ Jus Sayin….
Ryan has led the league in almost every category so far this preseason. Also, Peyton was -04 in his first four, Eli was even worse than that. Not every QB that was great ever comes into the league and has instant playoff success like Brady and Rodgers. So 0-3 in the playoffs at only age 27 is actually not bad. At least he gets to the playoffs.

Harry Douglas (HD) is getting treated like a 4th receiving option on the team. Matt needs to look for Harry more often because Roddy, Julio, and Tony are getting all of the defensive attention. I watched the game against Miami and HD is locked up one-on-one against a defender. HD wins the match up against his guy but does not get the ball because Matt is predetermining where he is going to throw the ball before the snap. Often times Matt is throwing to Julio or Roddy. Let's face it, Tony will not win a foot race against any LB in the league. Tony is still a great red zone option but defenders are often draped all over him and Matt will throw the ball to him in spite of this reality. I agree with most of you that the Falcons will go as far as the O-line takes them because the GM has been cheap and has not invested in top notch O-line talent. We do not have road graders on the O-line. This is evident based on the lack of push from the O-line on running plays when the ball is snapped. So far Turner and Rodgers are averaging about 3 yards per carry in preseason. Therefore, the swing passes to the RBs coming out of the backfield will supplement the running game this year. Based on the regular season schedule, I am changing my prediction from 12-4 to another 10-6 season. This organization has to spend money on top notch O-line talent.

Welcome to Huntington's 6th Form. Our school's core purpose is "to inspire confident learners who will thrive in a changing world". Everything we do in the 6th Form seeks to fulfil that purpose.
Tours of the Sixth Form - please contact Chris Hardwell ([email protected]) if you are interested in learning more about the Sixth Form and would like the opportunity to visit some Sixth Form lessons. The tours usually last one hour.
A good 6th Form should meet the following criteria: excellent learning and teaching, exciting extra-curricular activities and real support for every individual student. Results suggest, and our students tell us, that they are constantly challenged and encouraged to reach the highest possible standards in their work. We offer a huge range of extra-curricular activities including sport, theatre, music, community activities, support for younger students and charity work. We ask all our students to make a contribution to the school, local or international community and as a result they are looked on as leaders by younger students in school. Throughout their time in the 6th Form, our students are given high quality, ongoing academic and personal support by a team of committed and dedicated staff. The result of all this is that our students have every chance possible to leave us and go on to enjoy great success in higher education and employment.
Please explore the 6th Form pages to find out more about the courses we offer and the extra-curricular opportunities available. If you would like to discuss joining our 6th Form, please contact me and I would be delighted to meet with you and show you around our school.

the article is one of those medical journal things that get sent out to probably all Doctors.
she owns shares. but I take a traders view point, she takes a buy and hold view point. and it drives me crazy I haven't traded this out of respect for her views and it is after all, her money.
I guess the thing to do is to add on dips. she likes the long term approach to investing, while I prefer the profit taking approach.
lets see here. I have watched a few 30% gains go to waste over the past few months.
but shes happy, so be it.
The momentum is with the shorts here. This was a massive gift for them. Longs have to wait years for significant sales. shorts know it.
this deal totally sucked. I don't care how you slice it. the deal blows.
Is PLUG behind this ?
I say yes, what say you?
dead money for now.
I prefer losing all his money, for Bill death is way to good for him. Any form of punishment would be to strip him of all of his money and his status and his homes and luxury. strip him naked, so the world can see what kind of creepy slime ball behind the suits he really is.
This guys is proof the wealthy and well dressed are not the best examples of humanity.
prison will bring out many more tears.
I hope he doesn't go to a Federal prison, like camp sleepy hallow where they get catering back massages and sleep on organic beds. sheesh, what a joke those rich white color crime prisons are. id like to see him get life in prison and hard labor, crushing rocks on a chain gang.
Like that movie "Oh brother where art thou?
Of course he would play Everitt McGill, too overly concerned with his hair treatment "Dapper Dan" pomade, to really care about anything else in life.
Bill Ackman represents everything wrong with our country, our species, and our sense of morals.
They will do anything to kill those calls. ANYTHING
This dude made a bad trade, and in typical wallstreet fashion, cant handle the heat. so he throws more money at the problem, and in typical wallstreet fashion who is used to making "some one else pay" for their mistakes...
The dude made a bad trade, live with it. Its like naked shorting. shorts don't like being wrong, so they naked short a stock to death.
You cant create long shares out of thin air, and drive up a stock with shares that don't exist anytime you feel like it.
Shorts are a breed unto themselves.
This dude is a snot nosed teary eyed coward. That preys upon good American Companies that employ many people.
Why doesn't he go after Apple, for low wages and all the suicides in China at the Ipad and iPHONE factories?
Why doesn't he go after Wallmart, for the lack of benefits, low wages. etc...etc....wall mart prays on poor Hispanics, and tells them if they work hard, maybe some day they will be a manager.
He is going after HLF for one reason only, his money. period. If he wants to take up a crusade, he should do it on his own time with his own money. Not making a bet upon the outcome.
His agenda is clear. Why didn't he fight HLF without betting $1B ?
if HE CARES TO MUCH ABOUT THE POOR MEXICANS?
He should volunteer at the Mexican border and walk them over the river if he cares so much.
This guy is a coward, he is sleazy. If he really cared about all those moral virtues, he didn't have to bet $1B of other peoples money to do it.
The guys is a creep.
What a moron, he should just jump already, he doesn't deserve the dog pound truck that gets sent out to scoop up his carcus.
Ackman for President and local robin hood gay guy !
Ackman playing hero, and will take down Apple Computor next, people in China are killing themselves working long hours building iphones and ipads.
I heard Acky is storming the Apple campus now and calling Steve Jobs a slave driver.
Apple has been exploiting poor Chinese workers for years now and Acky says "shut them down"
buy MNKD stock, lots of it. FDA approved. partnership/buyout quite period right now !
selling squares for $.01
Maybe he will be a jumper?
No, that actually takes courage, he is too much a coward to jump from anything higher then his crib.
You sound like the FDA, who in the court of law has declared that Humans have no "right" to good health.
so much for the "dream"
wa wa wa
Bruno Mali only makes semi swank Italian shoes, not real high end, sort of wanna be rich. I have a pair actually two, but prefer my Santino's.
I think they now have money to burn, but making positive free cash flow is not really top of the agenda right now. Many of these China net stocks don't know how to monetize their business, and the ones that do have such huge profit margins that I think Wallstreet and Obvious CNBC Jim Cramer hate them for turning out 70% profit margins, any time it shrinks to 69% every crys about it, every time it goes up,they cry that its unsustainable margins, Wallstreet hates anything China.
YOKU, now has money to burn, and burn it they will. They stay alive for any years. The company gets bought out by Alibaba after the IPO, when ever that is?
In the mean time, the computors trade this, and kill the Open Interest, no matter Call or Put.
There is nothing to drive this stock higher until the Alibaba IPO, there are plenty of Calls to kill in August. So Its dead money until they turn a profit. when ever that is.
And don't hold your breath for an baba ipo rally, that may not happen either.
There is nothing bullish bout the char, maybea double bottom. No volume spike driving it up indicating short covering. No several week volume spikes driving this up, well below the major moving averages.
Once again. All indicators suck. everything is terrible.
And only for that reason, this might go up. Because the market, is rarely logical.
You are the kind of person best suited for flying military drones from an under ground bunker in Nevada, over the skies of Iraq and killing the target, his entire family and friends all with one shot. From the safety of thousands of miles away, where nobody know what you really do for a living. You can go home to your family without them knowing you just slaughtered a bunch of children in the fire storm.
ANY coward can sit behind a computer screen and wreak havoc upon innocent people.
Just like your doing right now, reading everything word I type, as its being typed. deciding for yourself, what can be public, if if it doesn't suit YOU and your agenda. youll decide to delete my post.
Must give you a great sense of power and pleasure in life, censoring what we say here. Most likely you have no power or pleasure anywhere else, so your perfect for this job aren't you!!!
You are wrecking what it means to be free, to be American !
no doubt he sells everything to the NSA your entire lives being offered to the highest bidder.
Anybody else read that article about him ripping off the real estate developer?
He said he cant pay $4 million for a house....he ends up paying $1.7m, then reniggs on his agreement.
man the dude is worth more then $10B, and he cant afford a $4M house?

Victims of recent severe weather urged to report damage to EMA
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:00
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is gathering damage reports from Hoosier citizens, governmental entities and certain private non-profit organizations that sustained damage caused by severe weather beginning January 26.
Hoosier citizens can report damage online at https://oas.in.gov/hs/damage until February 17. Citizens will be asked to provide their names, addresses, phone numbers, damage to property and type of damage the property sustained. Losses can include structural damage to businesses, homes and loss of personal property.
Government agencies and private non-profits should contact their local emergency management agency (EMA). To find the contact information for the local EMA, go to www.in.gov/dhs/files/Sanitized_Compact_Directory.pdf.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) will use the information to help quantify losses from severe weather that resulted in ice, snow and flooding to determine if federal assistance should be requested.
Individuals will not be in contact with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Information will be used to help local EMAs and IDHS determine if federal assistance can be pursued.
IDHS, Indiana agencies and partner organizations have been working closely with local emergency management agencies to determine needs that would require support beyond the county level. All local requests have been fulfilled, and no federal assistance has been required to date.

Three wrestling Warriors advance to Semi-State
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:00
? The Scottsburg High School wrestling team traveled to Bloomington South High School with five grapplers for this year's IHSAA Regionals.
They came home with three of those wrestlers making the jump to the Semi-State to be held at Roberts Stadium in Evansville. The three wrestlers set a new school record in one season.
Qualifying for the next step in the State Tourney will be juniors Tanner Howard, second at 152, and Nick Henderson, third at 189 pounds, and senior Chris Chasteen, fourth at 171 pounds.
Howard opened the day with a win by a pin over Joyal of Terre Haute South in 1:49 and then knocked off Prieboy of Bloomington South 7-1 before losing to undefeated Fudurich of Sullivan 2-6 in the finals.
Head Coach Tyson Skinner stated, "Howard wrestled well all day. In the finals, he ran into a tough grappler in the Sullivan boy. He has a tough road ahead, but he is a very talented wrestler."
Henderson opened the day with an overtime win over Heston of Edgewood 7-5, and then lost to Brownfield of Columbus North 5-10. He finished by defeating Kopitzke of Jennings Co. 12-1 for third place. "Henderson started off slow in his match with Edgewood, but by the end of the day was wrestling better than he has all year," said his coach.
Chasteen opened the day with a win by fall over Edington of Terre Haute North in 1:48, then lost to Watson of Columbus North 2-10. He lost by fall to Biggs of Jennings County in 4:33 for fourth. "Chasteen has a big challenge ahead of him. Placing fourth means he will wrestle a champ from another regional in the first round," related the coach.
Junior Sebastian Rodgers and senior Will Stone both lost in their opening round matches. Rodgers lost a heartbreaker to eventual runner-up Terrell of Bloomington South 4-5 in the 4th overtime. Stone lost by fall to eventual champ Vandenveter of Bloomington North. "Rodgers' match was a tough one. He was continually attacking throughout the match only to get called for stalling in the last OT and being penalized one point and that was the matc,." Skinner said. "Stone has been battling the injury bug all year and put up a good fight early only to get caught."

?County Soccer Club accepting players through February 15
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 04 February 2009 00:00
? The Scott County Soccer Club is accepting registrations until February 15 for the spring season.
The club is actively seeking players who are interested in playing in an organized, competitive league. The Scott County Soccer Club is for boys and girls ages six through 18 who would like to increase their playing ability on a competitive traveling team. The club is open to any student from any school and is non-school affiliated.
Registration forms are available on the club website at www.sc2soccer.org. Checks and registration forms can be mailed to the club registrar. Cost for registration is $50.
New players must turn in an official copy of their birth certificates to register with the state association.
Co-ed teams are divided into five age groups: U8, U10, U12, U15 and U19. If enough girls register, a separate girls' team will be formed at the U15 level.
Due to IHSAA guidelines, only six teammates from a high school team may be on a U19 team, so the club is looking for players from area schools to round out the team. Teams are open to all kids regardless of school affiliation. Birth dates will be used to determine team placement. Players must have turned six by July 31, 2008, and cannot have turned 19 before July 31, 2008, to be eligible to play.
The Scott County Soccer Club is a member of the Indiana Youth Soccer Association and is in its ninth season of play. Coaches are trained by the state organization and have several years of experience coaching youth soccer. Organized practices focus on age appropriate soccer skill training with emphasis on improving the players' understanding of the game.
Practices will begin in March. Games will be played on weekends April through May. Traveling is involved in this club. Players are expected to attend two practices during the week and one or two games are played on the weekend. Each team plays eight to ten games during the season.
For more information about the Soccer Club, check out its website at www.sc2soccer.org.

?Wrestling Warriors placed fifth in Sectional
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 04 February 2009 00:00
? The Scottsburg Wrestling Team traveled to Jennings County for the IHSAA Sectionals and came away with 5 qualifiers (the most in school history) and placed 5th overall for their highest team finish since the sectionals were realigned. Head Coach Tyson Skinner noted, "I was pleased with our team finish. We placed third one year, but with the realignment several years ago our sectional is vastly improved and we are gaining ground on the top dogs in this sectional now."
Leading the way for the Warriors were Junior 152-pounder Tanner Howard as he dominated the 152-pounds division to claim his first sectional crown. Howard opened the day with a technical fall victory over Baughn of Bedford North Lawrence, then pinned Owen of Seymour to advance to the finals. "Howard wrestled extremely well today. He is recovering nicely from a mid season injury and is almost back to top form."
Capturing third for the warriors were Juniors Sebastian Rodgers at 160-pounds, and Nick Henderson at 189-pounds and Senior Chris Chasteen at 171-pounds. Both Chasteen and Henderson dropped semi-final matches to the eventual champion in their weight class, while Rodgers had a more controversial semi-final match. In the first period Rodgers was accessed a 1 point penalty that ended up deciding the match as he lost 5-6 to Brierly of Columbus East. "Sebastians match could of very easily went the other way. He was struck across the face and made a comment to the official about it and was accessed the penalty. You never talk to the officials while on the mat but it was a very obvious call the other way in my opinion that was missed to put it kindly." Skinner Continued, " Nick and Chris both lost to talented wrestlers and wrestled well throughout the day."
Senior Will Stone returning from a season long injury battled to capture 4th at 215lbs. "He has had a very tough year with his injury and his Dr. wasn't sure he could go but he gutted it out and wrestled well most of the day."
Other placers for the Warriors were; Gage Kelly 5th at 103-pounds Stephen Gary 6th at 112-pounds, Coty Fink 5th at 125-pounds, Kris Sandlin 5th at 140 pounds, and Will Napier 5th at HWT.

?Scottsburg Warriors drop game against Madison Cubs 62-55
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 04 February 2009 00:00
? The Warriors traveled to Madison on January 9 looking to rebound off a frustrating loss to Seymour.
Madison, at 2-6, hoped to play spoiler to Scottsburg's momentum. The two squads played each other close throughout the first half with Madison leading 33-29 at the break. There was hope to be had for the Warriors, however, as sophomore guard Mason Gregory began to find his shooting stroke that had left him for a few games.
The Cubs went on a run in the third quarter, outscoring Scottsburg 16 to 12. They took a 49- 41 lead into the fourth quarter, knowing that the Warriors have outscored their opponents in the final period nearly every time this season. The 8-point lead was plenty for Madison, though, as they went on to win 62 to 55.
The loss was described as frustrating for Scottsburg, as a few things bouncing their way could have easily won the game. One positive note in the game was the return of Gregory to double figures with 19. A.J. Humes and Matt Bridgewater both had 12. Wynn led Madison with 28.

Jim Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: YHOO PM JNJ JOY MU SIRI (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus". (Updates from 10:52 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Friday.
Bank of America raised its price target on Yahoo! (YHOO) because of its stake in Alibaba. Cramer said Alibaba could have a valuation of $100 billion. YHOO rose 1.3% to $40.12.
Turkey's tax increase on cigarettes won't help Philip Morris International (PM), according to Citigroup. Cramer warned investors that "many countries are against both sodas and tobacco." PM fell 1% to $85.53.According to Wells Fargo, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) has bigger drug products currently in its pipeline. Cramer added that CEO Alex Gorsky "is the best in that industry." JNJ is a holding in Cramer's charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. JNJ was 1% higher to $91.85. Joy Global (JOY) recently reported a bad earnings quarter, Cramer said, yet the stock went up to $58 from $53. "People were really mystified" by that but the stock is now coming back down and Cramer agrees with Goldman Sachs, which downgraded JOY to sell from hold. JOY fell 1.2% to $55.68. After finishing as one of the top-five best performing stocks in the S&P 500 for 2013, is the epic run for Micron (MU) over? Cramer hasn't decided but told viewers to tune into his Mad Money program tonight to find out. MU dropped 3.2% to $20.97. Evercore Partners says there is upside to Sirius XM Radio's (SIRI) acquisition of Agero's telematics, or connected vehicle, unit and upgraded the stock to buy from hold. Cramer suggested that " if you like Rite Aid (RAD) you should "buy Sirius Satellite." SIRI ended the day 2% higher at $3.57.

Have you noticed how good 54-year-old Alec Baldwin has been looking lately? I couldn't help but notice how different the star of "30 Rock" looked at this week's SAG Awards. Turned out he colored his gray hair brown and lost 30 lbs. I head he stopped eating sugar, but dating a much younger hottie might have also inspired him. Baldwin's new girlfriend is 27-year-old yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas. Here's a photo of them together before he colored his hair. OMG from Yahoo claims the pair is now living together.
