Michael Bromwich, managing principal, The Bromwich Group
Stuff happens. When it happens to federal agencies, it can cause more than bad headlines. Missions get disrupted and people lose faith in government. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has been working to get past the flawed roll-out of Healthcare.gov, since the website problems became tied to problems with implementation of the Affordable Care Act. What's next for the agency in the wake of the HealthCare.gov fiasco? Michael Bromwich, founding and managing principal of The Bromwich Group, is a veteran of fixing agencies in trouble including the Minerals Management Service after the Deepwater Horizon spill. He discussed possible strategies for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on The Federal Drive.

Day Three: Angenehm
Day Three.
Where could you be
I was just talking to you happily.
And now, I'm stuck here lonely.
Every since you introduced me to Devil Maker,
I've been hooked on it on how similar it is to Ayakashi
My interest in Ayakashi became to waiver;
But I play both not because I want to, but because I want to impress thee.
Talk about evolution of devils
Talking about ratios and the upcoming Tower event.
No matter what game I pay with you.
I will be by your side wherever you went.
Even if I'm in college now
And I barely have for myself.
To talk with you always is my vow
For you are my cure, right? It's only good for health

"We're good, we're really good," the detective sunnily reassures his broody teenage daughter. No they're not. Ray Donovan is a show about things coming apart — jobs, families, lives — and what happens when the center cannot hold. It's chaotic, painful, sometimes funny and always fascinating.
Liev Schreiber, who wins Tonys by the sack but rarely does television, plays detective Ray Donovan, a classic Hollywood fixer who scares off stalkers and stifles scandals. There is literally no deviance or depravity he has not witnessed and covered up. "You think you're the first person I've dealt with who woke up in bed with a dead body?" he comforts one celebrity.
But a lifetime's supply of dirty laundry is threatening to burst from the overstuffed closet of Ray's life. His partner and mentor Ezra (Elliott Gould) is showing early signs of Alzheimer's and, worse, late signs of a conscience. "We've done bad things, Ray," Ezra declares during one of his increasingly rare lucid moments. "I've asked you to fix things that never should have been fixed."
The past is creeping up on Ray from within his own family as well. One brother, a boxer who took too many punches, is in the grip of Parkinson's disease; another is coming unglued from his memories of childhood sexual abuse. Worst of all, Ray's brutal mobster father Mickey (Jon Voight) has been released after decades in prison and is intent on revenge against everybody who helped put him there — including Ray.
Writer-creator Ann Biderman is a veteran of the crime drama, and Ray Donovan has plenty of skillfully staged, high-adrenaline set pieces from the genre — the chase scenes are tense, the beatings bloody, the sex breathy. But what makes this much more than just another adeptly noirish detective drama is the sense of impending moral implosion. Ray's life is a Hollywood B-picture where the set, an artifice held together with trick photography and chewing gum, is about to collapse.
The foreboding extends to practically every scene. The shifting moral ground in his office makes Ray more vulnerable to the temptations of easy money and sleazy sex — particularly those posed by a client he helped out as a child star, now lusciously and a little bit loonily legal — as well as ethical reproofs he once ignored. "I am a human being," protests the prey of one of his illicit surveillances. "Do you ever think about the things that you do?" Behind Ray's stoic countenance, the answer, for the first time, is yes.
Schreiber's powerful portrayal of a man whose elemental rage is on a collision course with a rising moral consciousness is the driving engine of Ray Donovan. But it may not even be the show's best performance. Gould somehow imbues an old man haunted by his past and fearful of his future with an unexpected comic streak.
And Voight's ironic approach elevates a stock gangster role into something more offbeat and entertaining. "It was the '80s, what can I tell you?" he apologizes to one victim. "It was a very degenerate era." Aren't they all.

By Kelsea Stahler, Hollywood.com Staff
This season, The Vampire Diaries has been spoon-feeding us storylines that, for a season where everything is different, feel remarkably easy to chew. Elena's new lifestyle forces her to ask great, uncomfortable questions and those questions lead her to consider which Salvatore is really right for her. It's not entirely unlike the first season of the series when Elena was gradually being introduced to the fact that vampires existed and she had to come to terms with the fact that her boyfriend drank blood could fly/run (or whatever that speedy mode of transport is called). This time, she's asking the questions about herself, so the emotional component is a little heightened, but from the over-explanatory "previously on" reel to the over wrought expository devices, it's like the show thinks it's got a brand new audience this year. That's why getting to the story of the Backstreet Boys of ancient times, the Five (which really sounds like the name of a band who could rival One Direction and The Wanted right about now), is such a welcome development. It's about time we got this show on the road.
Of course, there are two very selfish reasons I found the reveal of the Five so wonderful. One: five built, shirtless men playing with fire and getting tattoos in the forest is some nice imagery. Two: these flashback scenes give us a dose of Elijah who's been missing from the show for far too long. The other, more important, element of this woodland reveal is that a witch is the one who creates the five (just like a witch is the one who created vampires and the one who created werewolves). Everything stems from witches. Isn't it funny then, that Bonnie is invited on a college tour by the (hot) professor who took over Bonnie's grandmother's college course on witchcraft and that the class she, Damon, and Elena sit in on is the introductory course which explains that all other magical beings were born out of witches' ingenuity. Curious, indeed.
It gets curiouser when Professor Hottie gets all sentimental with Bonnie at a frat party which appears to be at the house where his office is located? And since when do professors attend frat parties? Even the hot ones? It could be sloppy episode composition, but we'll take it as further proof that this guy is up to no good. Of course, it's confirmed when Klaus' "red room of pain" (how long have you been waiting to reference Fifty Shades of Grey, TVD?) fails to keep Buffy (who had now earned the real name Connor) locked up and he beheads one of Klaus' hybrids with a chain before rendezvousing with Professor Hottie. All we learn this episode is that Professor Hottie is in charge of Connor's "missions" and that he's very interested in whether or not Bonnie practices witchcraft. Between Jeremy's ability to see the hunter tattoo and Bonnie's crush on this sinister professor, we're going to have quite a few Elena groupies looking to get in on the wrong side this season. (Then again, Bonnie always ends up falling for the bad guy.)
But speaking of Jeremy, his vision proves useful this episode. Klaus, who's since pulled Stefan in on his mission to find the Five's buried treasure weapon, forces Jeremy to question Connor about his tattoo, and surprisingly Connor gives up some serious detail: He met a guy when they were stationed in Iraq. Said guy had the same tattoo, Connor could see it and was therefore a potential (like Jeremy). When the guy died, the tattoo appeared on Connor and now, every time he kills a vampire, the tattoo grows. We learn from Klaus that the tattoo is growing to reveal a map that leads to the ultimate weapon: the cure for vampirism.
Now, the only problem with this story is that the way we know the weapon is a "cure" is that Rebekah, way back in ancient times, was in love with one of the hunters and he told her the weapon was a cure. This guy also stabbed her with a dagger and then did the same to her whole family, so perhaps we shouldn't be trusting his word. Let us also remember that secret societies love to expand the definitions of words, so the cure to vampirism could just mean death to all vampires. Let's not rule that out. Still, everyone seems to trust that there is a cure (likely because they want to believe it's true). Klaus wants the cure for Elena so he can keep making hybrids, but I imagine if that works its going to be like putting a leftover hamburger in the microwave (you're still full after eating it, but man was that bun rubbery, those veggies were slimy, and the middle of the patty was ice cold). Stefan wants the cure for romantic reasons: Elena's not cut out to be a vampire and he would relish the thought of being able to have kids with her and die together in a bed like that couple at the end of The Notebook.
Next: Let's all prey on poor Rebekah.[PAGEBREAK]
The problem is that they both need Rebekah in order to find any clues on the cure's whereabouts. And with Matt hating her guts and the fact that Klaus murdered her conniving Five boyfriend way back when, the emotional wreck isn't feeling like doing anyone a favor. Especially her selfish brother. But, because she's a sucker for romance, however short-lived, when Stefan tells her about wanting to grow old with Elena, Rebekah spills the details of her old lover's resting place. He's buried with his sword, which helps decode the tattoo map. And just like that, Stefan's got himself another deal with the devil (played by Klaus), the hybrid leader has once again stabbed his sister with a dagger, and Elena may have yet another way out. And it couldn't come any sooner.
At the university, Damon is determined to teach Elena his ways. And before she escaped on this adventure, Stefan warned her not to get too caught up in the feed and to retain her humanity. This was a confirmation that Elena would have trouble doing that.
Although, it doesn't happen right away. Damon picks out her first victim: a bubbly blonde bimbo. But when Elena tries to compel her and feed on her, she spies a picture of the girl with her little sister on her ever waving iPhone. She sends her away and Damon swoops in to lecture her about how every single person she could feed on has someone who'll miss them. (True, and kind of profound. For TVD, anyway.) Elena's having trouble coming over to the dark side, but Bonnie shows up with a flyer for a "murder house" party, which solves all their problems. It's practically a douchebag buffet!
When the party starts, Elena (who looks remarkably like Katherine in her Jack the Ripper victim costume) makes a bee-line for douche number one: roofie guy. Even Damon is worried she might kill him, but she doesn't and it gives her such a sense of erotic power that she leaps towards Damon in a sexually-charged hug and whispers "I want more" in his ear. She doesn't realize what this is doing for Damon, but the look of sheer, devilish pleasure on his face says it all.
They dance and feed all night until they're both dripping with blood and descending upon each other with intense, desire-filled eyes. They probably would have kissed if Officer Bonnie hadn't shown up with her judgemental glares (funny, because she's crushing on the enemy). Elena says she can't be like Damon and she won't. She's feeling things she didn't want to feel. Damon is furious because he thinks she's his kind of vampire and that the only way she won't snap and become a ripper like Stefan is if she revels in the blood and the kill. But that's not Elena.
She winds up in Stefan's arms by episode's end, claiming she can't do it and strengthening his resolve to find this "cure." He even tells her to just hold on a little longer. He's convinced it's real, which means it's probably not.
But what can Elena do? This cure probably isn't real (because what would they call a show about humans who used to be vampires?), which means Elena is going to have settle with her emotions somehow. Damon insists she's like him, but then why is she resisting the change so whole-heartedly? Well, when Damon was first turned, he was the gentler one, but he was certainly no Elena. She's like a bunny filled with rainbows and hearts and sparkles. She loves everyone and cares about everything. TVD would be wise to let her really suffer through these emotions instead of finding her a solution in the next few episodes, but since she's been doing that for a few episodes already, it's time for her to get dark. Really, really dark. Hey, you know they'll bring her back from the edge, but why not make us sweat a little first?

A Victory For Full Disclosure
Believe it or not, most companies that manufacture cleaning supplies, and similar chemical-based products, are not bound by the laws of the land to disclose the ingredients that make their "wonder" products so wonderful.
In a country where coffee cups now come with disclaimers about the damage their contents can do, this seems incredible
For many folks learning about it for the first time, there is a better word for this lack of oversight – appalling.
Like so many perplexing problems that seem to defy common sense, the reason for this state of affairs is as American as apple pie.
It's all about money.
Since the chemical revolution following World War II, the corporations that have whipped up so many of the toxic cleaning products we take for granted have made billions peddling compounds that certainly will make your kitchen counters shine, but what else do they do?
At the risk of repeating previous blog posts, the chemicals in your laundry soap or dishwashing detergent can, and have, caused all sorts of damage to people and the Planet since their introduction.
As any honorable chemist will tell you, the stuff that lifts months of grime off your oven's interior is capable of doing similar damage to your insides should it find its way into your bloodstream.
While most cleaning products obviously warn us not to consume them directly, they almost all fall short of telling us what is actually in the bottle we keep under our kitchen sink.
Somewhere along the way, the titan's of cleaning products decided that they would lobby their buddies in Congress to grant them an exemption from having to put their products ingredients on the containers they sold.
The reason for this lack of disclosure is one of corporate America's lamest excuses ever – trade secrets.
These guys actually got millions of people to believe that if they told us what was in their products, their competitors would rush out and copy the formula, damaging their business and thus denying the world of hormone mimicking shampoos and conditioners.
At first glance, this reasoning might make sense, to a third grader.
At second glance the holes in this deceptive reasoning are big enough to pilot a cargo ship through.
Patent and trademark laws exist in this country to protect innovative ideas and brands from being copied. All the detergent executives need to do to protect their precious poisons is to hire a good lawyer, and believe me, they already have.
The other ridiculous aspect of this "protection" claim is that every chemical company on the planet employs teams of engineers who have the diagnostic tools at their disposal to easily determine what is in their competitor's laundry soap.
Just knowing the ingredients, of course, doesn't guarantee you can copy your rival's product. You still have to know how and when to combine the ingredients to get the results you want.
However, if Coca-Cola can list their ingredients on each can of soda with fearing imminent doom, why can't the chemical companies?
Maybe they are afraid that consumers might not want to expose their families to all the nasty stuff that goes into making their whites whiter or whatever it is they claim?
Luckily, the tide appears to be shifting in this decades old policy of deception.
Several high profile companies, including the SC Johnson company, Clorox, and others have recently taken some baby steps towards full disclosure by listing some of their product's contents online.
Whether this is a preemptive step taken on the advice of their lawyers – "We told the world what was in this stuff, see our website" – or a genuine move in the right direction, it needs to go further, PUT IT ON THE BOTTLE!
At greenboatstuff we only carry cleaning products that tell us, and our customers, what they contain. They work great, and you know what they are. How easy is that?
We know organic soap and some of the other stuff we carry isn't for everybody, but for folks who want to keep using chemical cleansers, we encourage you to demand more from your detergent or shampoo maker.
Tell them, in no uncertain terms to get with the program and PUT IT ON THE BOTTLE.

I was looking through their home stuff earlier today, great finds and really affordable prices! I can't wait to nab a few items.
Where are these good made? How can they sell them so cheap?
r2b2 that's a fair question. H&M's website talks a little about their responsibility here... https://www.hm.com/us/customer-service/faq/our-responsibility
The age old saying applies here too: "You get what you pay for."
The prices are REALLY affordable,however their selection seems to be kinda small :/
I find these prices comparable to most other stores, also everything from H&M is a pile of wrinkled rags poor quality and presentation, all made from slave labour from Bangladesh~ I'll Pass.
Does 144 thread count feel like sand paper?! Geez.
I haven't seen so much gray since a visit to Seattle in November.
I've been waiting for this! So excited!
I like a lot of the stuff but those prices make it pretty obvious where the goods come from. That said, I don't we this as being any better or worse than say, Target. I do wish the quality was better with these products though. At least Target can stock products from different manufacturers so you can go higher or lower with quality.
Competing head-on with IKEA in the home space, I see. And, using a similar inspiration for design.
When I did business in Sweden, I loved Hennes & Mauritz. I still have some of the clothing I bought back then (~20 years ago) and it's in great shape and still relevant.
However, H&M's current fashions are cheap and not meant for longevity. It's a Swedish success story - yes, but a brand that I have long left unvisited. The home wares do not inspire me to change my mind. If I want stuff like this, I will visit my suburban IKEA for more stock and selection.
I have been eyeing linen pillow cover for at least a year on the H&M Home Euro site and finally it's here too! too bad the color I really wanted is sold out!:(
I've never cared for H&M clothes but was curious to check this out. Ugh, it all looks so cheap! The only things I liked looked like cheap IKEA knock-offs. No thanks.
Note that the thread count of the linen bedding is something like 100. But for that price, it makes sense. I'm just bummed you can't return online orders in their stores; it would make it easier to try out some of this stuff and bail if it sucked as much as we think it might. I placed a small order of mostly just inexpensive pillow covers. I won't be all that broken-hearted if they turn out to be kinda cheap, because I paid very little.

Nielsen: Private Label With Room To Grow In C-Stores
A study this month from Nielsen Co. says that convenience stores have the smallest share of sales in retail channels tracked by the company, providing opportunities for suppliers and retailers for growth in the space.
The report, "Growing Appetite For C-Stores," says that private label sales accounted for just 2.4 percent of all sales in the convenience channel, compared with 19.1 percent at supermarkets and 15.6 percent at drug stores.
"Name brands in several categories rely on C-stores for a significant portion of their sales," the report says. "For example, C-stores claim 85 percent of all tobacco and accessories sales in the U.S., and 53 percent of all beer sales."
However, the report also points out the convenience channel is facing challenges as consumers drive more fuel-efficient vehicles – leading to fewer trips to the pump, often attached to the C-store – and taxes and health education driving down cigarette sales.
"With fewer consumers needing fuel and tobacco, what will motivate consumers to visit C-stores?" the report asks.
Among the fastest-growing categories in convenience stores the past year are yogurt (57 percent growth in the 52 weeks that ended Aug. 4), non-carbonated soft drinks (50 percent growth), and fresh produce (38 percent growth), all areas with plenty of private label opportunities for C-store retailers.
The report suggests that the U.S. convenience stores could find growth opportunities by following overseas models. It says that healthy, ready-to-go options in countries such as the United Kingdom could find a home in the U.S.
"The trend is gaining traction across the U.S. and can draw higher income shoppers," the report says. "C-store drive-thrus are also gaining in popularity with Americans, making most store items (including grocery staples such as bread, eggs and cereal) available without leaving the car."
Other possibilities it mentions are self-contained fully automated C-store machines with refrigerated vending that accepts cash, debit and credit cards, and following Asian Pacific retailers who have added in-store technology to allow payment of utility bills, movie tickets, and receiving money transfers.

Hi! We are Kevin and Keith, PawGanics founding-fathers--compulsive, clean-freaks but also family and pet guys! We read other 'green' labels and think "Whoa. That's harsh!" Safe for the planet should include people and pets, right? So, we make products that clean like crazy and are safe around babies and pets: earth safe, people safe, and picky mother-in-law safe. (Did we mention they really work?) But let us know what you think!
Don't fret! Check out these suggested similar and related items below. Happy shopping!
PawGanics Foaming Shampoo Oatmeal Formula Vanilla 10.8 oz. (320 ml)
PawGanics Oatmeal Shampoo's unique instant foam delivery system allows for quick, easy and uniform application. The gentle formula moisturizes and soothes your pet's sensitive and irritated skin. Foaming Oatmeal Formula Shampoo is formulated with natural plant-based ingredients which are non-toxic and hypoallergenic, and a vanilla Scent. Most people don't think twice about the products they use to clean their countertops or scrub the bathtub, but the harsh reality is that they may be exposing themselves and their family, including their pets, to hazardous and toxic chemicals. Just like people, pets can become exposed to household chemicals that may contain harsh chemicals or leave behind toxic residue.
Pets are particularly susceptible to toxic chemicals or harsh ingredients in household cleaning products. Everything in their environment eventually ends up in their mouths, and they eat, sleep and play on the floor, where cleaning products settle. In fact they could accidentally ingest the hazardous and toxic chemicals used to clean the home. The increase in the use of cleaners and other household chemicals in recent years has been linked to greater risk for a number of health conditions in both animals and people. These include irritations of the eyes and skin, respiratory disorders, and unfortunately, accidental poisoning.
What you need to know:
The statistics are scary, especially parents of children and pets. Happily the PawGanics team has worked hard to create products that are naturally non-toxic for a safe and clean home. PawGanics helps provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are creating a safe and clean environment for every member of your family.

Rep. Cuellar: The Results Are In

From Congressman Cuellar at work in his DC office:
Earlier this week, I asked you to participate in an email survey so that I could hear from you about the issues you would like Congress to prioritize before the end of the year. Thank you to all of you who participated in this survey.
I'm writing today to share with you that the top three issues constituents want to see Congress prioritize are tax reform, the economy, and the Medicare and Social Security programs.
There is no question that the issues that topped the survey are important ones that touch the lives of all Americans.
To address these issues, I will use my voice as your representative to encourage my colleagues in the House of Representatives to swiftly take up bipartisan legislation to:
Speed up the momentum of economic recovery by helping to pass legislation to encourage job growth, promote American manufacturing and support small businesses
Overhaul the tax system to eliminate loopholes and level the playing field in order to allow hardworking Americans to keep as much of the money that they've earned in their pockets as possible
Protect and strengthen the Medicare and Social Security programs because after a lifetime of hard work, seniors deserve the security these programs provide
It is an honor to serve you in Congress, and I thank you for taking the time to let me know about the issues that are important to you.
Congressman Henry Cuellar
Congressman Henry Cuellar is a member of the U.S. House Homeland Security and Agriculture Committees. Job creation, accessibility to constituents, education, economic development, and national security are his priorities. Congressman Cuellar is also a Vice Chairman of the Steering and Policy Committee, Senior Whip, and member of the Blue Dog Coalition.

Does anyone understand what Cuellar�s priorities are? He presents very vague priorities without any details but if you look at the Democratic Party you understand what the priorities are:
Priority 1. Stimulate job growth.
Democratic Meaning: Stimulus Plan is out of control spending ($9B deficit balloons to $15B on Obama and the Democrats watch). Spend tax dollars until we get out of this bad economy. Food Stamps program is just one example of Cuellar job stimulus. According to Nancy Pelosi, food stamps are a sure-fire way to stimulate the economy. So, the economy should be booming. Spending on the food stamps program has increased 100 percent since President Obama took office, and now one in seven Americans uses food stamps. In the 1970s, one out of every 50 Americans was on food stamps. Dec 2008, the number of people on food stamps was 31.5 million on May 2012, there was 46 Million or 46% increase in people.
Priority 2. Overhaul the tax system
Democratic Meaning: Level the playing field in order to allow hardworking Americans to keep as much of the money. Hardworking Americans are those on Welfare and people making under $250,000. However, the Democratic plan includes tax increases only for those working regardless of income, more refunds to people on welfare and increases in taxes for investments. As with both parties, loop holes will be eliminated for those out of favor and new ones put in for those in favor. This is pie in sky. When Henry puts details on this overhaul tax system, be careful; you might be the one he is leveling the playing for. Democrats like to pick winners and losers.
Priority 3. Protect and strengthen the Medicare and Social Security programs
Democratic Meaning: Continue a failed policy which is bankrupting the federal budget. What does protect mean? Protect from what? What does strengthen mean? Spend more money?
His priorities are disingenuous. They are �feel good� priorities but mean absolutely nothing. Just like I read something into his priorities; so can anyone else who read his priorities. Ask Congressman Cuellar to provide some measureable details to his priorities. Otherwise, no matter how he votes, he meets his vague priorities; typical politician. I just it was a dishonest Republican instead of a dishonest Democrat. Dishonest is defined by providing information to deliberately mislead. In general, at least a Republican has a greater chance of reducing the deficit including private sector job creations.

As a retired disable Veteran and other Vets. Our congressman has not don't his job. We have asked him to help us and all he does is ignore our request. I have requested for help on social security. And Henry, has no power. Why do we need him in the congress. I'm 100% disable and have not recieved depend pay from VA or Social Security since 2010, and all that they can say we are working on it. But what is the congressman doing to help other Veterans? I read where he advistise with tax payers money that he help with social security and Veterans. Is he? Nope, he just talks and talks but no action. We need a new congressman in district 28th just like floresville, needs a new Mayor and help the city.

"I wanted to give a shower for the couple where couples as well as singles were invited Such an invitation was very hard to find but this one fit the bill perfectly. I had several questions about wording and the customer service reps couldn't have been more helpful. They made my lengthy wording work and the colors came out perfect. Also, the cards were ready well before the promised time. I have received many compliments on the invitation and will highly recommend your company to others."
"Loved the colours- and was able to work the card design into the shower theme . I would have preferred the texting in a different format- Capitals letters where indicated. I am not sure if I had inadvertently selected that style of text - all in lower case. It was my first time ordering on the site. Delivery was very prompt- Came right on time."
"Beautiful, professional product. The colors pop, the script is bright and crisp. Designer communicated promptly to allow revisions. Product was shipped quickly."
"Ordered the navy/green matte invitation for my cousin's wedding shower. I received the order days before it was expected to be delivered and was very impressed with the quality of the invitation. I was so happy to find a card that included both future husband and wife (instead of solely bridal shower cards) that is classy and tasteful."
"The web site was very easy to use. So many beautiful products to choose from. I am the mother of the groom, so when I was planning our family shower, and then went looking for a shower invite, I did not want anything too feminine. I simply typed in coed shower and many popped up. This one was perfect because of the colors, blue and green and Mr. and Mrs. Next we have the rehearsal dinner to plan, and there are many, many beautiful ones. Must nail down date and time before I can order. Thanks"

The Colts weekly ritual of roster moves has brought a familiar face back into the locker room. Defensive Tackle Daniel Muir who spent 2008-2010 with the Horseshoes was re-signed this week.
Muir spent training camp with the St. Louis Rams but was cut. With injuries to Defensive Tackles Fili Moala, Drake Nevis and Eric Foster the Colts decided his working knowledge of the team was to good to pass up.
"Yeah, I know the system. I know the system real well. I don't have to come in and learn anything. I can just come in and produce and help on the field."
Muir expected to make an impact right away and it shouldn't be hard to get him up to speed. The fifth-year veteran played in 36 games and started 24 for the Colts. In his career he has totaled 116 tackles, 1/2 sack and one pass defensed. Muir also led th e defensive line with 66 tackles in 2009.
The Colts also activated running back Darren Evans from the practice squad because the team is unsure about Joseph Addai's status for Sunday's game in Cincinnati. He's nursing a hamstring injury and head coach Jim Caldwell says he is day to day this week.
