Finally, remember what we have talked about before on the topic of rebuilding a football team. Remember a while back, we took a look at the average draft picks the Jets have had over the last few years, and compared it to the number of picks the Patriots have had? The Patriots averaged around four more picks per season than the Jets. And shocker of shockers, the Patriots are the ones that continue to win. Mike Tannenbaum was notorious for trading away draft picks.
The problem with that is that you don't build a program that way. Oh, you might bring in some great veterans, and have a couple of great seasons, like the Jets did in 2010. But what happened from there? They fell off the mark. Why? Because the Jets haven't had enough draft picks to replace the guys that have left. The more draft picks you have, the more guys come into your program that you can develop. The way to replenish a football team is through the draft. The more college kids come in, the greater chance you have to find that diamond in the rough. We have talked about this before. Years ago, the Cowboys did the unthinkable, trading their star running back, Herschel Walker, for five players and six draft picks. Those picks turned into Emmitt Smith and Darren Woodson, among others. THAT is how you rebuild a team. Make trades to stockpile players.
The problem with exploring it now is the injury. Will there be many teams that want to make this trade, with Revis coming off of a season ending knee injury? The odds are pretty good that teams will want to see him play again, before commiting to him. So, trying it this year may not work. They just might not see the value to make it worthwhile.
But, they have to try. If Idzik thinks he can get value now, he should explore it. If he can get great value from a team for him, he absolutely has to consider it. If he can't get a whole lot back for him, he needs to wait until after he plays again. But, despite the reaction it might garner, exploring the idea is absolutely the right move.
And I love Darrelle, but this is what needs to be done.

Hull Moving Average (HMA)
The Hull Moving Average solves the age old dilemma of making a moving average more responsive to current price activity whilst maintaining curve smoothness. In fact the HMA almost eliminates lag altogether and manages to improve smoothing at the same time. To understand how it achieves both of these opposing outcomes simultaneously we need to start with an easily understood frame of reference. The following chart contains a 16-week simple moving average which constantly lags the price activity and has poor smoothness.
Firstly, solving the problem of curve smoothing can be done by taking an average of the average, ie. 16 period SMA(16 period SMA(Price)). The bad news is that it causes a huge increase in lag as seen below.
Solving the problem of lag is a bit more involved and requires an explanation with numbers rather than charts. Consider a series of 10 numbers from '0' to '9' inclusive and imagine that they are successive price points on a chart with 9 being the most recent price point at the right hand leading edge. If we take the 10 period simple average of these numbers then, not surprisingly, we will determine the midpoint of 4.5 which significantly lags behind the most recent price point of 9. Here's the clever bit first let's halve the period of the average to 5 and apply it to the most recent numbers of 5,6,7,8, and 9, the result being the midpoint of 7.
Finally, to remove the lag we take the midpoint of 7 and add the difference between the two averages which equals 2.5 (7 - 4.5). This gives a final answer of 9.5 (7 + 2.5) which is a slight overcompensation. But this overcompensation is very handy because it offsets the lagging effect of the nested averaging. Hence the result of combining these 2 techniques is a near perfect balance between lag reduction and curve smoothing.
The HMA manages to keep up with rapid changes in price activity whilst having superior smoothing over an SMA of the same period. The HMA employs weighted moving averages and dampens the smoothing effect (and resulting lag) by using the square root of the period instead of the actual period itself as seen below.
Integer(SquareRoot(Period)) WMA [2 x Integer(Period/2) WMA(Price)
- Period WMA(Price)]
Unfortunately the MetaStock version of the indicator requires the 'Integer part of the square root of the period' to be entered manually as an input. For example, if the period is 25 then 'sqrtperiod' equals 5 and if the period is 30 then 'sqrtperiod' also equals 5. ('sqrtperiod' increments up to 6 when period = 36 and so on.)
MetaStock Formula
period:=Input("Period",1,200,20) ;
sqrtperiod:=Input("Square Root of Period",1,20,4);

From Edgar Thompson at the Palm Beach Post:
Linebackers coach Jim Reid was taken to the hospital for evaluation because he was feeling ill after taking a run after the morning practice.
He was placed on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance in front of the team's practice facility in Davie. Reid, 57, was talking and lucid, telling medical personnel he'd been running for 10 minutes.
Coach Tony Sparano said he didn't know anything more about Reid's condition, other than he felt dizzy and sick after his run.
Reid, who was 57 when he was hired in January, coaches college football since 1973 before joining Sparano's staff.

Newark, DE (SportsNetwork.com) - Devon Saddler scored 24 points off the bench, leading four players in double figures, as the Delaware Blue Hens registered an 86-79 win over the Hofstra Pride in Colonial Athletic Association play at the Bob Carpenter Center.
Jarvis Threatt accounted for 20 points and seven rebounds for the Blue Hens (9-7, 1-0 CAA), followed by Davon Usher and Kyle Anderson with 19 and 12 points, respectively, as the team posted a third straight win and the fourth in five outings.
The Pride (4-11, 0-1) were paced by Zeke Upshaw with 19 points and eight rebounds, shooting 4-of-9 behind the three-point line, as the squad lost for the third time in as many games. Jordan Allen and Dion Nesmith pitched in with 18 points apiece, while Stephen Mwaukoni delivered eight points and a game- high 11 rebounds in the setback.
Threatt, who scored the 1,000th point of his career in the outing, tallied 11 points in the first half, but still the Pride led by a 41-36 margin at the break. Delaware shot a mere 2-of-11 behind the 3-point line through the first 20 minutes of action.
In the second half the Hens turned it around with 5-of-11 shooting beyond the arc and 60 percent accuracy from the floor overall, en route to the seven- point victory.
The win was the sixth straight in the series for the Blue Hens and the 99th for head coach Monte Ross with the program overall.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- A fire broke out early Tuesday morning at a Rochester assisted living center.
According to the Rochester Fire Department, crews responded to Madonna Meadows in southwest Rochester just before 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Firefighters arrived to find flames coming from the office, which was closed for the night.
Responders quickly extinguished the blaze, which had been kept under control by a sprinkler system.
Investigators say the office sustained significant damage. Residents were never forced out of the building, but rather protected in place to avoid exposure to smoke.
No one was hurt. The fire marshal's office is investigating.

The War That Killed Achilles
Caroline Alexander
The Iliad is still the greatest poem about war that our culture has ever produced. For a hundred generations, poets and thinkers in the West have pored over, retold and argued about the events described in this martial epic, even when direct knowledge of it was lost. Various empires have admired it as a book that in telling the story of the siege of Troy also extols the warrior ethic, and teaches the young how to die well.
Yet the figure at the heart of the epic, the consummate warrior Achilles, is a brooding, controversial hero. He is a fierce critic of those who have started this war and allowed it to drag on, consuming soldiers and civilians alike. Disconcertingly, he Iliad portrays war as a catastrophe that destroys cities, orphans children and wrecks whole societies.
Caroline Alexander's extraordinary book is not about any of the traditional concerns that have occupied classicists for centuries. It is simpler and more radical than that. In her words, 'This book is about what the Iliad is about; this book is about what the Iliad says of war.'

Between Wind and Earth1 Reviews
Raphael's observations about the relationship between Valon and Alister. Yaoi one shot.
Your best friend is taken. You never thought he would be taken by anyone, much less by one who is little more than a child. Yet you know better than to assume that he is anything like a typical fourteen year old boy. You know his past just as you know your best friend's past. They don't know that you know and they most likely never will know that you know. They probably don't even want you to know. Too bad. You know anyway.
Master Dartz told you the secrets of the younger Swordsmen of Doom. Even now you are surprised that he did such a thing yet you are not. You are the first of the three. You know all, except what Master Dartz doesn't want you to know. You know that Valon, the youngest and last member of the Swordsmen, isn't just Australian. He's also Greek, Spanish and English mixed into one. It's all he knows about his parents. He does not remember anything, except for his name, before the age of six, but when he is ready to kill because someone grabs him the wrong way, you realize it's for the best.
As for your closest friend, Alister, he makes it difficult to decide who among you three has the worst past. You lived on a desert island for a few years when your entire family was killed in a typhoon, but you'd take that and Valon's childhood wrapped in a sandwich over the hell he went through. War is hell, especially in a country where eight thousand people were killed in fourty-eight hours; a country whose beautiful capital was blown to pieces. Alister is Bosnian and Scottish, a combo one doesn't see everyday, unlike you being French and German. Whatever he is, you know he blames Kaiba Corporation for his baby brother's death and you're not certain if you can blame him or not.
You have no intention of using your knowledge against them and you have no intention of mentioning too much of your own past. Mutual silence, at least for the most part. You know that Alister and Valon have told each other a little of what had happened to them, but neither one of them know the full details. You don't fault them for that. You don't know of many people who would tear their hearts out by saying too much of their painful pasts and you never understood those that do.
Alister and Valon almost never understand each other, which is why your surprised that the two of them are together as lovers. You thought they'd simply be colleagues who simply disliked each other, but made sure to get their jobs done. Not the first time you've been wrong. Then, you thought they'd be like brothers who argued constantly yet cared deeply for each other. Just friends. You amaze yourself at just how often you can be wrong. Not that you have a problem with their relationship. Alister is still your best friend and Valon is close too. Like the three Musketeers in a way, only two of the members are fucking like rabbits.
Their relationship is full of lust, yet when you speak to Alister, you could swear that he is glowing. He never glowed when you frist met him. Quite the opposite. He seemed dead and made it clear that he wasn't in Doma to make friends. You didn't care about his feelings; you weren't there to make friends either. Within less than a year, the two of you were inseparable, equally loyal to one another and hostile to any intrusion.
When Valon came into the picture, you were simply stunned but accepting. Alister, on the other hand, was furious under the unconvincing guise of indifference. Valon sniffed it the way a shark sniffed blood and he pounced, making damned sure that Alister would be driven insane. Worked like a charm then and still does now. Only Alister is living again. He smiles more often and you sense that at least some of his heart is coming back to life.
You suppose to makes sense. Alister asks how it's possible to resist Valon's beautiful blue eyes. You can think of about a dozen ways, but you don't fall for the eyes of another male. You don't even know what it's like to glow and you're not sure if you want to know, but you can see how Alister would fall for the child.
Valon can have anyone he wants. Incidently, so could Alister, only it would anyone male. Both are pleasing on the eyes, but Alister has grown from a cute young boy to a beautiful wom--oops. A beautiful feminine male. Sometimes you wish he were a woman, then you can tell Valon to go fuck himself because you know that you can have anyone you want too. Just that you don't have any interest in other men and would prefer to keep it that way. So, you'd never fall for Valon's charms, but even you can't help but admire him.
Irrepressible people are easy to admire. You know that Valon has lived in his own hell when he grew up yet he never let it get the best of him. He is always gleaming with mischief and a cheerful smile. He swears up and down that the world's problems won't stop him from living or becoming a stronger duelist. Sometimes you and Alister want to take turns smacking him, but you wonder if it's simply envy. Neither you or your best friend think the way Valon does. You just try to shrug it off, but Alister is just driven nuts by it. That is, when he isn't horrified. Valon knows this and quite naturally plays on it.
You keep telling Alister not to allow Valon to get under his skin, but you might as well be talking to the wall. There's a lot about the world that you can't stand, but you know better than to shriek about it. Alister can't seem to keep his mouth shut about Valon's very different beliefs. Hell, you know he's incapable of keeping his mouth shut about anything, which drives Valon crazy. You figure it's a sort of payback. Kind of a tit for tat sort of thing and you're the referee.
"Knock it off!" Has become your mantra everytime the two of them start shit, but you can only say it so much at home. You may lead the Swordsmen of Doom, but Alister runs the house. He always has.
You groan. Alister is screeching for Valon and you balk when you find that it's about toilet paper and how Valon uses a ton of it. You understand how Alister feels because you know what it's like to have to ration even the smallest things, but you also know that none of you have any wants now. The three of you have the money to spare for a huge box of toilet paper, but you realize that you could buy enough toilet paper to wrap around the United States and Alister would still find a reason to complain about the overuse of it. He even tries to tell Valon how to fold the paper properly. He does it a thousand times and can never seem to understand why Valon is having none of that.
"All you have to do is just wad it up!" He says.
"No, Valon! You fold it so you don't use so damned much of it! We can't keep buying toilet paper!"
You want them to knock it off, but at the same time, you can't help but be amused. Alister suddenly throws his hands up and threatens Valon with coffee filters and newspapers should they ever run out of toilet paper. You can't help but chuckle. That'll never happen and even Alister himself knows it, but he just can't help but be annoyed.
Then, of course, there's the toilet paper roll itself. Valon never seems to bother putting it in the holder, a fact that drives Alister up the wall. Even you get irritated with that. Laziness. Not something you forgive easily, but you let Alister handle it as you try to watch some TV in the living room.
"How hard is it to put the toilet paper in the holder?" Your best friend asks, trying not to grit his teeth.
Valon just stares at him with a gleam in his blue eyes. "I don't want to do that."
No, of course not. That would make things too easy for Alister and Valon just can't have that. You tell Alister to just do it himself and he walks off, grumbling. Valon grins and you shake your head. When Alister returns, he plops on the couch next to Valon.
"You drive me fucking nuts, you know that?" He grabs the younger boy and holds him in a right embrace while giving him a flurry of kisses.
You know that inwardly, Valon is saying yes, but he knows better than to actually say it. He'd like to have some sex tonight.
The walls on your room have ears and mouth and they know how to use them. When you sit on your twin bed with your grey cat on the other bed, you wonder why you even bother watching television. After all, Alister and Valon are entertaining enough. This time Alister is titting for tatting. Literally.
"Look at these flabbies."
You chuckle, knowing that it's just teenage baby fat that Valon has yet to outgrow. Alister knows it too, but he loves needling his younger boyfriend. It's a revenge thing, especially since Valon has often made fun of Alister's well-muscled chest too.
"I don't have fucking flabbies!"
Everyday, you hear it. Alister makes fun of Valon's "flabbies", Valon claims he doens't have them and you're about ready to bellow "knock it off" or laugh your ass off. Neither one of them dare make fun of your pecs, but you figure it's because you can bench press their combined weight rather easily.
"Yes, you do! I know you do and you know how I know?"
"I don't have flabbies!"
"You haven't had your exercise, that's how I know."
And so it begins and never ends. Both you and Alister know damned well that Valon does exercise, but that's never stopped your best friend from having some fun.
"Damnit, Alister, I do exercise! I'm just not nuts about it like you and Raf are."
"That's why you have flabblies, flabby!"
You can't help but think the same thing. Even your cat is amused as she licks her paws.
"You know what I'd like to do to your flabbys?" Alister is mischievous now and you know what's coming.
"What?" Valon knows what. Hell, you know what. Even your cat knows what.
Even though you've never seen the two of them do anything, you sure as the ocean hear Valon's sharp intake of breath and Alister's loud grunting. Oh well, at least they're not screaming. Alister is a notorious screamer, both in and out of bed. You have the television to drown out any sounds those two are making and you're glad that a damned good game show is on now.
Alister is beautiful when he smiles. Even you can't ignore that. The wind just loves him as it lifts his red hair. It's cool today and the sky is littered with only a few clouds. You stand beside him on the balcony that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, which looks like blue gold under the afternoon sun. Alister folds his arms across his chest.
"I'm going to teach Valon to drive."
You're not surprised.
Alister turns to you, still smiling. His grey eyes shine in the sunlight. "Can you believe he wants to learn with our Camaro?"
"He's not going to." You reply, knowing that your best friend would agree. The two of you have a standing rule when it comes to the black car: No one drives it but the two of you, who made it.
"No. He's asked too." Alister snorts. "I told him exactly what you told me, only a little less quieter."
"Heh. I figured you would. You drive it more than I do."
Both of you can hear Valon playing video games nearby, but he's so engrossed in whatever fighter game he's got on that you know he doesn't hear either one of you. Alister looks towards the room and smiles once more.
"I'm going to get him a Jeep." He announces. "I think it suits him, don't you agree?"
You do. You can see it now. Valon in his goggles, his hair more wild than ever as he speeds in the open air. You figure that he only wants to learn on the Camaro just to piss you and Alister off. You decide that's not going to happen. You wouldn't want Alister's hair to turn white.
You nod. "Make sure it's a manual. I think he'd like that."
Alister agrees because his smile widens. The both of you believe that if a car isn't a manual, it doesn't quality as driving. Snobbish? Yea, sure, but everyone has their moments of snobbiness.
"I'll do that." He walks towards Valon's room.
He turns, eyebrow raised. "Yes?"
"He's lucky."
Alister smiles once more. "I know, I remind him every chance I get."
You see the Swordsmen as Doom as a pattern of some sort or one who passes down a skill from one to the other. You taught Alister to drive--really drive. You taught him to ride a motorcycle and you taught him to fly both a helicopter and three kinds of airplanes. Alister in turn taught Valon to ride and to drive. He has yet to convince Valon to fly any aircraft, but you know he will eventually. Alister is persuasive that way. All three of you have something to offer and you can't imagine anyone else, except for Dartz and your deceased family, being all that important.
Sounds harsh, sure, but life itself is harsh--a fact all three of them learned early on in their lives. It doesn't seem so bad now. The three of you do as you please and can have whatever you wish. You smile at that thought. Dartz spoils all three of you, but you most of all. He favors you and you enjoy having it. In return you give him loyalty that would put the rest of the world to shame. Only Alister matches your faith. You know this because Valon often voices his doubts while telling Alister not to say anything. He doesn't, but you don't need either one of them to tell you anything.
The walls have ears and a big mouth, a fact the two of them often forget. You're not worried though. Valon is loyal to you and you know that he cares deeply for Alister, even though it's masked in devilish mischief. Alister would do just about anything for Valon and you see it in your best friend's intense grey eyes.
"I just have to protect him." He says to you while the two of you are sitting together on the couch. Valon is once again playing video games--games Alister bought him.
You're not surprised he would say that, but you can't help but wonder if that urge is the result of what he lost five years ago. You know Alister blames himself for his little brother's death and you know it's projected onto Kaiba Corp. You don't mind. So long as the world is returned to it's pure state, you don't care if Alister blames the Vatican. However, you know that Valon is not Mikey, but you don't say that. The last thing you need is your best friend exploding.
"Valon doesn't need protection." Your statement makes Alister's eyes flash.
"Valon is a child. He's wild and I think he needs guidance."
"And discipline?" You ask.
Alister nods. "He thinks everything is a goddamned joke." He leans back against the leather couch and sighs. "I just don't want to lose him..."
"Of course not." You smile. You know your best friend's feelings. Much as he tries to cover them, his emotions are much stronger than his masks. "I doubt you will though. You two have a great time together."
"Yea, I guess we do." Alister looks towards the room he and Valon sleep in.
You wonder if Valon can hear the two of you, but don't believe he does. "I'm glad you met him."
"Oh?" Alister raises an eyebrow before stretching his arms over his head. "Is it because I'm finally happy? I mean really happy?"
"Yea. I know it sounds weird, but sometimes when you are in love, it can make you stronger. The urge to protect them, to encourage them, to take care of them. All of that can give you strength you never thought you had."
"Hmm..." He looks into your eyes. "For five years, I thought love made you weak. That it was nothing more than a stupid trick. I thought only stupid people fell in love" He looks back to his room. "Only now I realize how asinine it was to think that way. I know things are complex and I know that people have suffered dearly thanks to love, but with Valon, I feel like I could do anything. I never felt that way."
"I know how that feels". And you surely do given your own strength as a duelist and how you've grown much in the years you've been with Dartz and your only two friends.
"Yea, I can imagine. There's no getting around that you've always been the strongest."
"Only I've never been in love." You shrug.
"You don't have to be in love. I mean, you have us, and you've always been a good friend to me." He sighs before smiling. "I've made a lot of sacrifices for him and I don't regret that. I guess I'd do anything to keep him smiling. He's just adorable, especially when he gives me his begging look when he wants something. To be honest though, I refuse to spoil him anymore than he's already been spoiled."
"So, why did you get him all those video games?" You ask, knowing Valon will be in his room all night thanks to those games.
Alister rolls his eyes. "Because I'm stupid."
All your life, you've been taught to expect the unexpected. It's one of the reasons you survived on a desert island. It's also how you manage to survive being sandwiched between powerful wind and strong earth. You observe the two of them, often bemused, sometimes irritated, but always with some sort of joy for them.
Alister holds Valon close to him as they watch television together. He runs his hand through Valon's dark hair while giving him kisses. They are silent, a rare treat for you and your cat. You know that later on they'll be loud again and you might have to be the umpire as Alister tries to toss Valon to you. You know that you'll hear the two of them enjoy themselves in bed together and you'll know how Alister will fly or drive Valon wherever he wants to go. Sacrifices will be made, you know that too, but they're good sacrifices because they are done by someone more than willing to make them.
Your best friend is taken, but that's okay. Alister is beautiful when he smiles.

Book socks and building character
When I was a kid, we had to cover our textbooks the school provided in order to keep them from being damaged. I don't know if book covers were sold in stores back then, but if they were, we didn't use them. We used brown paper grocery bags. My father would cut the bag to size and create a dust jacket for each book with some tape. Then I would write the subject on the front of the cover and the rest of the cover served as class-time doodling space. At some point, I started making the covers myself at the beginning of each school year. It was an intergenerational family skill.
I don't know if people anywhere still use paper grocery bags to cover textbooks. I was sent to Staples last night to buy a book sock, which is a cover that slips on a textbook. They come in all sorts of colors and designs. The lines at the registers were each 20 deep, clogged with people buying last-minute school supplies. My wife had told me that the book socks were right in the front of the store, but it was a chaotic scene, my path blocked by sullen children and their sullen parents arguing over binder colors, so I asked the Staples guy where the book socks were.
"We're all sold out. Except for these Hello Kitty covers." He indicated something quite pink.
I thanked him and said that a boy just starting middle school might be wise to avoid Hello Kitty book covers. Other boys don't let you forget something like that for the rest of your life. You end up still being called Hello Kitty when you're 50.
On the drive home from the store, I wondered if I was depriving my son of a character-building experience — maybe Hello Kitty book covers in middle school would make him learn to fight and be tough, like the guy in that Johnny Cash song about a boy named Sue. But I'm not that kind of father. He'd have to build character some other way.
Was it still acceptable to use homemade book covers? In most places that would probably be like going to school in homemade duct tape shoes. Yet brown paper bag covers might build a little character without resulting in the profound emotional scars sure to be caused by Hello Kitty covers. Maybe it was a middle ground worth considering.
Was it possible that the other kids would think the brown paper bag covers were cool? Really, really cool? If so, this could be the beginning of my son's social ascendance. Forget building character — he could be a trendsetter! The most popular kid in school! It was possible — likely, even — that my son's paper bag book covers would lead to a life of success, wealth, and happiness.
I almost had myself believing it when I pulled into the driveway, without a book sock or a plan and full of regret for always answering "plastic" at the supermarket checkout.

One Response to "Book socks and building character"
Nice piece. I find that most of the things I think of as trendsetting or cool that I try to suggest to/impose on the kids through my lens of 45-year-olddom horrify them. Staples will be restocked soon.

Yesterday, May 24, Virunga National Park sent a team of rangers back to Bukima in an attempt to reestablish the monitoring of habituated mountain gorillas that range in that area. The hope was to locate the gorillas after several weeks without contact. That last few weeks have been volatile, with rebel movements within the National Park and intense fighting raging between rebel militias and the Congolese army on the park's edge in Bikenge and Jomba. (IGCP stock photo from Bukima)
Throughout the week, IGCP has kept in touch with our partners throughout Mikeno sector including Virunga National Park staff, partner NGOs, and community organizations we work with.
We are sorry to report that the forests of Virunga National Park in Eastern DRC have become ground zero for the hunt for renegade general Bosco Ntaganda and troops loyal to him.
Augustin Kanyunyi Basabose, one of Africa's leading experts on Great Apes, is now the Interim Director of the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP) - a coalition of the African Wildlife Foundation, Fauna & Flora International, and the World Wide Fund for Nature.
A woman enters the Virunga Massif with her baby tied on her back. She's looking for a few jerricans of water to do the washing, cooking, and provide drinking water for her family. With limited choices, she enters the park, in search of a forest stream. Thousands like her do the same, especially during the region's dry season in June, July and August.

Joe Royle
Everton Giant 2004
For almost 40 years Royle was the proud holder of the record as the youngest player to figure in the Everton first-team following his appearance at the tender age of 16 against Blackpool in 1966.
His record may have passed on to James Vaughan in 2005, but it has not tarnished Royle's reputation as a true Everton Giant.
That first appearance in a first division match for Harry Catterick was merely the pre-cursor to what became a superb playing career.
He enjoyed a rapid - and fully deserved - rise to stardom, utilising his imposing physique to good effect as he fired his way into the first division scoring charts.
In four seasons between 1967 and 1971 he rifled in a remarkable 95 goals from 190 appearances. His power and goals made him a crucial member of the 1970 Championship winning side and he also enjoyed a Charity Shield victory and was part of a side that lost out in the FA Cup final of 1968.
|Stats and Honours
|Appearances: 275
|Goals: 119
|Everton career 1966-74
|League Championship 1970
|FA Cup 1995 (as manager)
|England Caps
He departed the club in 1974 to sign for Manchester City. But that is not where his association with his beloved Blues came to an end.
He became manager of Everton in November 1994, when he replaced Mike Walker, and enjoyed FA Cup glory during his time at the helm before leaving the post on March 27, 1997.
He guided the club to sixth in 1996 a year after the FA Cup victory over Manchester United at Wembley. But a succession of injuries and the resulting dip in results led to his departure in 1997.
Joe was appointed after enjoying a great deal of success as manager of Oldham Athletic.
In 13 years at Boundary Park Oldham won promotion to the old Division One in 1991 and remained in the top flight until 1994.
Joe's Oldham reached the Littlewoods Cup Final in 1989/90 and the FA Cup semi-finals in 1990 and 1994.
Joe's managerial spell at Goodison Park completed a circle begun in 1964 when Everton took him on as an apprentice before he turned professional in 1966.
He won international honours, representing England at Youth, Under 23 and Full level gaining 6 caps, scoring twice.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Wilmington attorney Jeffrey Scott Taggart was sentenced to three years in prison followed by three years of supervised release Wednesday on charges of conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud and subscribing to a false income tax return, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
He was also ordered to pay more than $3 million to 12 banks and lenders who were victims of the fraud.
Taggart was sentenced after allegedly preparing false HUD-1 settlement statements, which he sent to banks and lenders on more than 50 loan transactions.
Taggart falsified "the existence and degree of the buyer's down payment, the existence and degree of financing, the existence or nonexistence of a buyer or seller, the actual contract price for the property, and the true recipient of all loan proceeds," accord to the news release.
He also fronted money from his firm's escrow account to make it look like borrowers were qualified for the loans that he closed.
The scheme caused banks and lenders to issue approximately $15.8 million in loans to conspirators, resulting in $3,060,896.77 in losses to the banks and lenders.
Additionally, the indictment says Taggart listed his taxable income as $80,486, when it was really $271,003.
The IRS and FBI conducted the investigation into Taggart.

Right here waiting SongtextOceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever?
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin? crazy
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin? crazy
Waiting for you

Ariz. — Customs and Border Protection officers busted two people just this week for drug smuggling attempts at the Port of Entry.
37-year-old Arturo Calvillo-Calvillo is now being investigated by Homeland Security for having 127 bricks of marijuana hidden in his car when he tried crossing the border at the port of entry.
Customs and Border Protection officers say the drugs Calvillo-Calvillo tried smuggling weighed nearly 100 pounds and are worth $49,800.
Tuesday, agents patrolling the same area busted 37-year-old Maria Teresa Gerra for having 49 packages of marijuana in an ice chest and spare tire.
The drugs Gerra attempted to smuggle are worth an estimated $38,000, and were turned over to Pima
County Sheriff's deputies.

Louisville, KY (August 7, 2009) - Governor Steve Beshear today announced two major religious conventions
coming to downtown Louisville as a result of the upcoming availability of both the Kentucky International Convention Center and the new arena downtown. These conventions bring with them an economic impact of $10 million to the Louisville economy.
First, the Church of the Nazarene will bring its "24th Annual Global National Youth International
Conference in 2011" to downtown Louisville. That summer, 12,000 young people will spend July 3-July 11
taking advantage of the city?s connectivity by utilizing the Kentucky International Convention Center for its
exhibits and meetings and the new downtown arena for its General Sessions.
"We decided to build this arena for two reasons," said Gov. Beshear. "First, to create a new home and new excitement for U of L basketball, and to create economic development by attracting visitors and events to downtown Louisville.
The next convention, also announced by Gov. Beshear, is the "2013 North American Youth Conference" of the United Pentecostal Church International. The Conference will also utilize the downtown arena and the Kentucky International Convention Center.
It will take place August 3-9, 2013 and bring 20,000 young people to Louisville.
"These conventions are, I am confident, just a start," added Beshear.
"We are pleased that the Church of the Nazarene and United Pentecostal Church International said yes to Louisville and, with the package we now have to offer, we look forward to more convention announcements in coming months," said Mayor Jerry Abramson.

Professor Terry AlfordSchool of Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, and Materials Engineering Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
"Zinc-Oxide Based Thin Film Transistors and ZnO/Metal/ZnO Electrodes for Future Flexible Electronics"
Abstract. Flexible electronic devices are low profile, light weight, small, and conformal. These attributes make flexible electronics ideal for a wide range of applications. However, advancement in two important areas are needed to make flexible electronics a ubiquitous technology: thin film transistors (TFTs), used as switching components in the active-matrix; and transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), a class of direct wide band-gap semiconductors that are used as electrodes in solar cells and organic light emitting diodes (OLED). The first part of the presentation will address recent advances in TCO technology. This will include the electrical and optical properties of indium-tin oxide (ITO) grown on flexible polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates and the motivation to transition to zinc oxide (ZnO) based TCOs. We also show work on multilayer ZnO/metal/ZnO structures that exhibit improved electrical properties (~10-5 Ohm-cm) without degradation of optical properties when compared to ITO. Moreover, we show that ZnO/metal/ZnO electrodes have the potential to improve OLED device performance compared to current devices. The second part of the presentation we will discuss work on the electrical and mechanical reliability of indium-zinc oxide and amorphous Si (a-Si) TFTs fabricated by a low-temperature process on PEN. Conventional polycrystalline Si TFTs and a-Si TFTs have low charge carrier mobility and require high process temperatures (350 °C) making these devices incapable of being used for high resolution displays on flexible plastic substrates. Metal oxide based TFTs (i.e., ZnO) have at least 1 order of magnitude higher mobility (10~50 cm2/Vs) than a-Si TFTs or organic TFTs (<1 cm2/Vs) and can be fabricated using relatively low temperatures. The high mobility of metal-oxide based TFTs makes them viable for high resolution displays and motivates our transition to metal oxide TFTs. We have also improved the performance and stability (both room temperature and elevated temperatures) of these TFTs by novel low temperature post-anneals. The stability improvement after extended anneals is found to be due to annihilation of defects present at the channel/insulator interface and in the channel layer. Mechanical and electromechanical stress investigation reveals that the TFTs do not degrade even after an extended duration of stress.

Ok, so I have been into working out for a little while now and I am finally feeling confident and just plain good about myself while getting a good feel for pumping my guns, glutes and gastrocnemiuses. Anyway, I started to notice that I wasn't improving and gaining mondo masculinity and muscles the way I desired and I decided I needed to add something to my diet in a supplemental way. I decided to take
A Supplement.
But where to start, hmm. There are so many to chose from and it is very confusing for the amateur like myself. Some of the things I found were muscle gainers, fat losers (doesn't sound appealing), estrogen blockers, proteins, nitrous oxide (Turbo boost?) and many many more. There were even a whole bunch that were just banned in tons of countries but thanks to a lapse in legal mumbo jumbo they could offer it to only me for a special price.
I thought to myself, hey does the government know about these amazing advances in hyper-muscle science? and is it legal!? I was scared and a little high and I wasn't about to throw away my money on something that could be illegal. So I did some research of my own, heres what I found:
The first product I researched is a pump you up, kicking ass type of product. It sounds highly scientifical and super amazing and according to their reviews from real MEDICAL doctors it's also safe and effective. Here is really what this product will do for you and what the good Doctor had to say:
NICE, thanks for clearing up my confusion doctor! I can't wait to taste those Neuro -Amplifying Matrices! (Adds 3x to shopping card)
The next most amazing product I decided to research was the most amazing thing I've ever imagined. The headline that attracted me to it was "Your Freakiest Gains Ever Begin Right Now!" I said wow, I hope it just grows muscles, but another limb or penis would probably be worth the money. Here's what it does!!!:

With max Ot you should be trying to do more every week..
Dang. Mom was saying the Olive oil costs alot. I guess I'll just get it anyways. My protein shakes are only 350 calories atm, so I want to pump that up abit.
Noones answered yet lol. Whats the different between olive and Canola oil?
my mom is the one who bought it. She said it costs too much.
There can't be much of a difference...
Well I have canola oil lol. Can't help it. Just need to know how much i should be dumping into my shakes.
Its just was bought for me. Is there a difference?
Says its 120 calories (from fat) per tablespoon. Seems like a lot of fat..and it only adds 120 calories
Well I just figured the low reps was for pure strength gains.
Isn't olive oil realy expensive? I know you can put oats, what else? I need something that will bump up the calories in shakes alot.
Alright, thanks for the advice. I just might try the WB1 routine.
I looked at max-ot's suggestion for eating and it broke it down to 2944 calories for me. I assume that was not bulking?
Max-ot's routine. I hear its purely for max strength gains. I want a routine that will help with growth and appearance.
I'm 6'3 185
I mean the routine.... I eat 3k calories as is.
I want to look better. I want my muscles to get bigger so it shows. I dont know if max ot will do this or not. I'm a little confused. I looked at other threads but I'm still confused...
They go away in a day. Its just from the bar being against you. I bring a piece of foam and put it behind my neck now so I don't get that.

When we last left Montana State Rep. Jerry O'Neil, he was proposing corporal punishment instead of jail time for some convicted criminals. That idea hasn't gone over well so O'Neil has a new idea this week – let students leave guns in their cars while at school.
Current law can result in a suspicion for up to one year if a student is caught with a gun at school. House Bill 384 would change that drastically. It isn't just that students can leave guns in their cars. The bill mandates gun lockers at the schools, as the Billings Gazetter reports:
The bill also would allow schools to establish special gun lockers for students to use. And the measure requires that expulsion proceedings for bringing a gun to school must include an evidentiary hearing, and prevents districts from disciplining students for fake weapons, such as shaping their hands into pretend guns.
For most schools, it is straightforward. If caught with a gun, then that's a suspension. Zero tolerance policies don't need evidentiary hearings because there is no excuse for bringing a weapon onto school property. O'Neil's bill would mix up this up. Under O'Neil's bill, guns would not be discouraged, but even encouraged. How much more encouragement does someone need than a school providing a gun locker?
According to O'Neil's bill, the gun can come on school property but as long as it is in a locked location, then it really isn't there.
A firearm that is secured in a locked container approved by the district or in a locked motor vehicle the entire time that it is on school grounds or property, except while in use for a school-sanctioned instructional activity, is not considered to have been brought to school or possessed at school.
The gun can be on school grounds but as long as it is locked, then it really was not brought onto school property. Once again, a lawmaker is taking a walk into an Orwellian world where reality is not real.
Leaving guns in cars parked at schools isn't going to make the schools any safer either. Someone who wanted to go on a shooting rampage isn't going to be detered by knowing that guns are in cars in the parking lot. The shooter would be in the classroom while guns are in the cars.
Besides, knowing that guns are in parked cars is an invitation for someone to break into the cars and make off with weapons.
Fortunately, not everyone in the Montana legislature thinks this is a good idea. Rep. Jenny Eck noted that guns and schools are not a good mix.
"We're dealing with kids," Eck said,"who tend to be more emotional, who tend to react too quickly to things that are going on. And to make it easier for them to get a gun would increase the likelihood of their being tragedies in our schools."
But if the guns are in lockers or cars then they really aren't there at the schools, according to O'Neil's bill. So there's nothing to worry about, right?

Last night's Billboard Music Awards scored a huge ratings win. Which just goes to show, if you build a bloated broadcast around the highest-selling musicians in pop, the people who made them the highest-selling musicians in pop will come. In addition to bringing in 9.4 million viewers (up 28% from last year's 7.4M total), the Sunday (May 19) broadcast was number one in the 18-49 demographic, which is pretty much the only thing advertisers care about. Obviously Tracy Morgan was the X factor this time around.
One interesting tidbit: the demo numbers that were seen as a huge success for ABC matched the demo numbers of the recent American Idol finale, which was a ratings disaster. Context is key!

Human Resources
Human Resources at the corporate level is focused on activities which support the design and delivery of human resources programs and services across the Partners network. At the affiliate level, the human resources function is staffed with strong human resources leaders who enjoy local support and are aligned with the affiliate's goals and culture, and who also work collaboratively with their Human Resources colleagues across the system.
As the Partners network has expanded and grown in complexity, so, too, has the breadth and depth of services provided to the affiliates by the core corporate specialty areas.
Staff from the core functional areas serve, in many cases, as "internal consultants" who work collaboratively with the affiliate HR staff and senior management to provide infrastructural support to meet the affiliates' immediate and changing needs. The core specialty/functional HR departments provide a high level of direct services to the entities.
Here are some of the functions within the Human Resources Department, to give you an idea of the range of work that we do in support of our integrated health network:

The services provided by Human Resources Entity teams are structured around a Generalist model. Generalists, serving as Human Resources consultants, provide front-line Human Resource services to employees with staff from specialty areas such as Staffing and Organizational Development and training.
Corporate Compensation provides consulting services to HR generalists at all Partners' affiliates. Responsibilities include the design and implementation of wage programs, design for consolidated departments, market analyses, interpretation of laws, and oversight of performance management programs. Compensation also creates and maintains formal salary range and job code structures.

How to Be a 'Joy Helper'
- Friday, December 02, 2005
Notice how every attribute in the above verse is an attribute of Christ. Think about Christ. Preach about Christ. Praise Christ. "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, rejoice" in the Lord.
"By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." (Romans 5:2)
"But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." (I Peter 4:13)
Weeping endures for a night; joy comes in the morning! For the Christian, there is the blessed hope that gives us great joy. We are going to Heaven! We are going to see the King. We are going to see our saved loved ones again. There will be no more pain, no more sorrow, no more death, for the former things will pass away. What joy that should bring to our souls!
Pastor, there is much that could be accomplished by your becoming a joy-helper. Your life could be changed for the better, your family could be blessed, and your ministry could be rejuvenated by your drawing from the seven sources of joy.
Terry Hagedorn is pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Reedsville, WV
Today's Christian Preacher is the magazine for those involved in ministry and those training for ministry service who live in the United States. TCP won't help you preach a better sermon or build a larger ministry. It will help you in your personal life. For more information, call 1-800-588-7744.

Law enforcement officials are telling Vermont lawmakers that too many drugged drivers are getting away with the offense.
The House Judiciary Committee is working on rewriting the state's law for driving under the influence.
Prosecutors say current language makes it much easier to charge and convict drunk drivers than those under the influence of marijuana and other drugs.
Vermont State Police say that sends a bad message to offenders.
"They're going to do that again. We're not getting them into the criminal justice system. Clearly they're driving impaired and that person has a substance abuse problem that needs to be addressed," Vt. State Police Lt. John Flannigan said.
A proposed bill would lower the burden of proof for a drugged driving charge.
Lawmakers will also consider adopting legal limits for drugs similar to the 0.08 blood alcohol concentration used to measure alcohol impairment. And as for that alcohol limit, Committee Chairman Bill Lippert has sponsored a bill to lower it to 0.05, but that measure will be considered separately.

Today it would seem that many brands are recognizing that leveraging their line with a bike (one off or not) is a good way to garner some attention. Take for instance Element Skateboards fixed gear offering. With a decal lined frame, and Brooks Leather bar tape and saddle, this bike is a good transitory piece for the sport of cycling which is drawing the attention of many skate enthusiasts.

Last year (as in 2013) I only posted 20 pieces of work; ONLY 20!
The year before, I posted at least 50! Sure, that year was a little less intense and calmer, but that gives me no right to decrease my numbers!
I would like to quadrupl- NO, SEXTUPLE (sextuplet? I dunno, it doesn't have a dramatic ring to it) THOSE NUMBERS! That's 120 pieces for those of you that can't math. It doesn't even have to be 120; it can be lower or higher than that! Just as long as it is not 20....never again.
I am not going to call it a new year's resolution, but if you desire to name it that, so be it.
Also, SCP: containment is magic has been postponed indefinitely.
My allocated motivation towards it is low...
It just doesn't feel like me, ya know? I didn't create the ponies, and I didn't create the SCP universe, so it just doesn't add up for me; it's just far too limited for me... Don't get me wrong, it does have elements that I would love to exploit, but the tuning just isn't my style.
Urg, I don't want to say "we'll see" because that sounds shallow, but I don't want to quit on it!
I should get started.
