Back in the summer of 1989 my brother Jeff and I returned home for the summer to a city we had never known, Temecula, CA. It was a booming area and my dad was making his first attempt to escape the world of managed care. Years later he would flee to Alaska.

Any NFL fan knows that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The pink scattered across the uniforms of players screams it every week.
The use of mammography in women before age 50 caused a stir two years ago. New United States Preventitive Health Task Force (USPHTF) also recommended against self breast exams at that time.

One of the top soccer teams in San Diego County in the mid 1980s was at Torrey Pines High School. One of their better players lived a few houses up the street from me. His junior year some members of the team decided to drink alcohol on the bus just before the playoffs.
The school brought the hammer down and those players were not allowed to play. Torrey Pines made an early exit.
It is not exactly a paperwork issue like what happened at Chugiak but it makes a point. A team sometimes has to take responsibility for the actions of its members.

Warren Buffett has more money than God. Most estimates put his net worth at around $50B.
Mr. Buffett thinks that people who earn over $1M per year should be taxed at a higher rate. $1M is .002% of $50B. Or to put it another way that person making $1M in a year would have to work 50,000 years to make $50B. Who knows how long it would take if you adjust for taxes?

Quarterback Tom Brady has Super Bowl rings and is married to a super model. So it is okay for him to make a super gaffe. Brady has called for Patriot fans to start drinking early and get "lubed" up for the Pats opening game in Foxboro.

Ten years ago I flipped the switch on my alarm clock on a Tuesday morning and jumped in the shower. I dried off, got dressed, and jumped in my car.
I turned on KUDO which at the time had Rob Black talking business. There was no business being talked about that morning. Mr. Black was describing commercial airliners crashing into the World Trade Center.

A letter to the editor during the health care debate claimed doctors had million dollar homes on the Hillside and $60K cars. It is a bit of a paraphrase because I cannot remember the exact numbers that were used.
Liberals hate stereotypes unless they are engaged in class warfare. I remember wishing the writer was correct because I would love a million dollar home and at the time I was driving a 1996 Toyota Corolla. I have since moved on to a 2009 Honda Accord because the Corolla was just too stereotypical of granola chompers.

It has been a little over a year since Obamacare became law. In that time we have seen the Democrats lose the US House and some ground in the US Senate. A mere two years prior there were Democrats on these pages celebrating the death of the Republican Party. If only there was a way to terminate both parties.

Once when I was a medical student one of the residents was complaining about a patient he was sure was faking an injury to his back. As he was talking he caught a glimse of his patient through the window. He was scurrying across the back parking lot and quickly leaped over a 3 foot wall.
In 2011 I suspect someone would have broken out their phone to get video of the incident. Instead the resident wanted everybody in the room to note the incident. The man was in the process of obtaining disability.

All of my liberal friends have an economic hero. His name is Paul Krugman. His scripture is available for their review in their bible, The New York Times, on a periodic basis.
They will throw his pieces up on facebook. They will often say he is to be free of criticism because he has received awards from all of their elitist left wing organizations.

It was a rainy day so I actually took the time to watch some of the Sunday morning talk shows today. And yes that included watching the evil power in all of television, Fox News.
Timothy Geithner, a fellow Dartmouth alum, was dispatched to try and slay the dragon Chris Wallace for the Obama administration. Wallace, to his credit, is one one of the best hard ball interviewers in television. He goes after all of his guests and Geithner was no exception. John Boehner was also in the crosshairs when he followed Geithner.

Back in 1997 I attended Digestive Disease Week for the first time in New Orleans. It was in the days before limits on the pharmaceutical companies. There was a party every night but the excess was best demonstrated when one company sponsored a Ray Charles concert with catering by Chef Paul Prudhomme.
Over the years I have collected a variety of drug company toys. One of my favorites was a Viagra flower pot that was supposed to produce a plant when watered. The plant never did rise.

The tools used to evaluate data and determine statistical significance are essential in moving medicine forward. Most doctors understand what the statistics mean and have spent time studying how the numbers are crunched.
One of my favorite courses in college was one on probability. It was fascinating to prove that if there are 22 people in a room there is a 50% chance two of the people have the same birthday.

It is a monthly ritual to read through the journals I get every month. I cannot claim to be The Palin and read all of them. I read most of the The Anerican Journal of Gastroenterology and Gastointestinal Endoscopy. I read clinically relevant articles in Gastroenterology but the bench level studies on miniscule receptors in the colons of rats I usually skip.

The only time I have attended religious services in recent years is funerals and weddings. It has not always been that way. I was an altar boy in early elementary school. My family moved around a lot but I spent most of my time through 7th grade in Catholic schools.
The United States has had one Catholic president, John F. Kennedy. In 2011 his religion is not the first topic when his name is mentioned. It certainly was a hot topic when he was running for president and when he got elected.

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) ran an ad in Austrailia a couple of years ago where a white man hands out fried chicken to some black fans at a cricket match. The commercial was used by KFC to try and take advantage of a big match coming up with a team from West India.
The ad did not raise any eye brows until it made it to the United States via the internet. The backlash in the US caused the ad to be pulled.

Medicare and Social Security are heading for financial failure. It is not question of if, it is a question of when.
The problem is less acute for Social Security. Still, the program is now paying out more than it is collecting. The descent has begun. Theoretically, it will be able to fund itself at 100% through 2036. That is one year sooner than was projected last year.

My grandfather graduated medical school in 1947. He served as a surgeon in the United States Navy during the Korean War. There were a lot of stories told at his funeral about World War II and Korea by friends and family.
My father turned to the US Navy when he had to come up with a way to pay for medical school. He barely missed the Vietnam War finishing his residency in Internal Medicine in 1977.

Uber cute!
"I have several black, flat sandals but not any nude. When I was shopping online, I saw this pair and had to order them! The gold in the heel and the metal work are chic and add some shine. They are extremely slippery though. I had them delivered to my office, and I immediately put them on when they came. As I walked out to the hardwood floor lobby, I slipped and nearly fell twice! I decided to scuff the bottoms up a little bit with a nail file, and that helped tremendously. Other than that, they are perfect and are an excellent price."

"I LOVE these shoes. They are most comfortable sandal I've ever worn and I get so many compliments on them. I have them in black and I can wear them with jeans, sundresses, and to work. I am usually an 8.5 but I ordered a 9 because of the reviews, however I think I would have been fine with the 8.5 as they are a bit long for my feet. But they certainly don't look too big. Overall I am so happy with this purchase!"

"I bought both nude and black. I really like the sandals & have received several compliments on the nude. Great sandal for the price. Leather straps and nice chain detail. Can be worn with dress up or casual attire. I'm glad I read reviews because this sandal does run slightly short. I ordered a half size larger as recommended by another reviewer and they fit perfect. They are also a bit narrow but that's ok for me. The sole isn't padded so that is why I rated the comfort as average. That being said, they really are adorable and I feel they were a great buy!"

Morning, noon, or night, people find something special to eat or drink at Cork Grinders. As day breaks, cups of Katz coffee and custom-made breakfast sandwiches fill the room with their aromas to wake up anyone who walked in still sleeping. By night, the restaurant's team switches out their coffee drinks for wine and locally brewed beer and the room takes on a lounge-like vibe. Much the of the dining action surrounds the panini press, which grills tasty sandwiches such as the Nola with house-made crawfish and the Texan with bacon, cheddar, and barbecue sauce. But the room itself is a draw all on its own, too. With a drink in hand, diners ensconce themselves in cozy seating framed by distressed walls and high ceilings, often listening to musical acts play on the small stage.
Since opening in 2003, The Tasting Room has morphed from a wine bar to a full-service restaurant with four locations—all while retaining its wine-bar charm and racking up numerous awards and accolades. Diners can select libations from a list that boasts more than 200 wines, pairing them with contemporary dishes whipped up by executive chef Jonathan LeBlanc. TTR offerings run the gamut from small plates of mini grilled sandwiches and classic bruschetta to entrees including creole-spiced quail and Jamaican jerk chicken breast, which diners can savor at windowside tables or on the plant-ensconced patio and garden area.
The eatery doesn't just sate hunger for eclectic classics and thirst for fermented grapes. It also hosts live music, meetings, and events such as 2011's Grapes vs. Grains, which pitted beer against wine in a liquid wrestling match. The owners have their hands in other culinary enterprises, too. There's the Houston Cellar Classic, for example, an annual celebration of food and wine. Also popular is MAX's Wine Dive, a destination for gourmet comfort food best defined by its slogan—"Fried chicken and champagne? ... Why the hell not?"
The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
It's a good idea to arrive early at Movie Tavern, and not only if you hate missing the opening credits. Early birds can peruse the extensive menu of chef-crafted American cuisine, from kobe beef sliders to pizza and sandwiches. But even after the show begins, the snacks keep coming. Unobtrusive servers slip in during the show to deliver orders, and can be called on for more drinks or dessert with the push of a button. Guests can even sip margaritas or signature cocktails at the full bar before heading in to the theater. The family-friendly establishment also serves finger food for kiddies.
As for the entertainment, audiences get to enjoy all-digital presentations of first-run films any day of the week, plus Retro Cinema every Wednesday morning at 11:30 a.m. as well as Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. Audiences also benefit from Movie Tavern's membership program. Anyone can sign up for free online to receive one free bag of popcorn, plus a free ticket every year on their birthday, special offers, movie news, and invites to screenings and other special events.
Occupying a prominent space within the 95-acre Sculpture Fields at Nova?s Ark, the 7th annual ArtHamptons event celebrates post-war and contemporary artwork. In recognition of the Hamptons' international reputation as an inspiring summer playground for culturally savvy individuals, "Escape" will be celebrated in all its incarnations this year. The fair's 50,000-square-foot museum-like space will feature more than 3,000 different works of art, which are all available for acquisition.
Although the scope of its exhibits is international?consisting of works by more than 500 different artists as presented by galleries from more than 10 countries?ArtHamptons continues to celebrate the creations of established masters as well as emerging talent from the East End. Over the course of three days, attendees can take in the displays and attend various cultural events and programming.
One Yoga USA founder Jennifer Buergermeister approaches yoga's many forms with a mastery honed over 20 years—and the philosophy of a gardener. OYUSA's mission likens yoga to a tree: many branches, deep roots. In that spirit of multiplicity, it has designed flexible training programs that branch out from foundational training into a phantasmagoria of elective modules that total anywhere from 300 to 1000 hours. On the way to certification, students can immerse themselves in almost every flavor of yoga and supplement it with a buffet of Sanskrit, organic eating, anatomy and physiology, and neurolinguistic programming—forging a self-created major with far more real-world applications than their doctorate in unicorn dressage.

Data Loss
mailing list archives
It's important to pay more attention to HIPAA training. A huge portion of
health data breaches occur because staff members lack knowledge, make
mistakes or act out of malicious intent. Organizations can effectively
mitigate the first two factors, and impact the third, with effective
training and ongoing awareness.
Many executives express the flawed opinion that implementing information
safeguards is just basic common sense, and so minimal resources need to be
dedicated to such education. If this were true, we would have a fraction of
the privacy breaches that we see reported (see: Far More Health Breach
Victims in 2013). Simply applying common sense is not so common -
especially with all the new and increasingly complex technologies being
used (some lacking security and privacy controls), the increasing types of
mobile devices being used, and the many locations outside of the
organization's walls, and outside its network, from which information is
accessed.Each employee and contractor who has been authorized to have
access to patient information literally has the security of that
information under their control. Remember these three points:
People are not born knowing how to effectively safeguard information.
Most people have a tendency to want to share information and to be helpful
by providing information to anyone who asks. Each person who is given
access to protected health information must be provided with education
about how to protect that information appropriately, and share it
appropriately, in all situations in which they have access to it.
Technology alone cannot secure information.
Computer systems and applications must be built with more robust and more
transparent security capabilities. But when it comes to effective
information security and privacy protection, you cannot create a computer
technology so secure that no training is necessary for those using the
computers. It's like saying you can build a car so secure that you don't
need to teach people how to drive safely. Who wants to be on the road with
those folks? And then there are the millions of paper documents that
absolutely depend upon staff taking proper precautions.
Last, but not least, many legal requirements exist for information security
and privacy awareness and training.
A growing number of laws and regulations, HIPAA included, contain
requirements for organizations to provide some type of information security
and/or privacy awareness and training to not only their personnel, but
also, in some instances, to their customers.
Common Weak Spots
Too many covered entities and most (practically all that I've seen)
business associates think training means simply regurgitating verbatim the
HIPAA regulatory text to employees, or boiling down HIPAA into a few
sketchy, incomplete and non-specific statements. They usually fail to
actually explain what the workers must do within their everyday work
activities to effectively protect information. The weakest spots I've seen
over the years are:
No targeted training for the IT staff;
No targeted training for those in customer service areas who communicate
directly with patients;
No training tied to the use of new and emerging technologies, such as
social media, cloud computing and big data analytics; and
No targeted training for executive management. Too many executives have
stated that they don't need training - even though a huge chunk of breaches
occur as a result of executives doing things out of security ignorance.
Online Training vs. In-Person Classes
So what is more effective: online training or in-person classes? The answer
depends upon the topic of the training, the target audience, the
availability of the target audience and the risks associated with the topic.
Organizations must determine the best method of training based upon those
four considerations. Remember, one type of training will not be most
effective for all audiences, nor for all topics. Here is what I recommend
for most:
Provide initial training for information security and privacy basics to all
employees. This can be done with well-constructed online training modules.
Provide additional training of various types to targeted groups - such as
customer service reps, nurses and doctors, and IT staff - with specialized
education on their particular job responsibilities. Often videos can be
effective for these targeted groups of learners. Classroom training is also
effective because it allows them to ask questions, practice using role
playing and have group discussions about the topics with their peers.
Provide ongoing in-person awareness activities as well as awareness message
updates using a variety of media. You can't expect training to stick with
your personnel forever after training. That's why it's important to provide
ongoing reminders to keep information security and privacy tips top-of-mind
during their everyday job activities.
By building a multi-layered, varied-delivery and targeted training
approach, healthcare organizations can help build a culture of information
security and privacy awareness that results in employees safeguarding PHI
as a part of their daily job responsibilities.

Netflix and Google Make Land Grab On Edge of Internet
Soulskill posted more than 2 years ago | from the thar-be-gold-in-them-thar-datacenters dept.85
An anonymous reader writes "In an end-run around slow Internet backbone providers, Netflix and Google (plus a dozen more large content giants) are in a bitter fight to deploy servers and dominate the consumer edge of the Internet. This Wired article provides some of the first graphics of this fight and how it is changing the underlying Internet infrastructure. The source of the article (DeepField blog post) also has some pretty interesting commentary."

Patio Drunk: Ten Of Dallas' Best Patios
By Scott Reitz
I'd been meaning to catch Theatre Fire's live show for months, but stuff kept coming up. You know, laundry, house renovations. That one night, I really did have to work early the next day. When I arrived at Club Dada on Saturday night, I chugged a beer and hoped that the first band's tired combo of Creedence and Jimmy Buffett would end so we could get to the band everyone had been telling me about, but two songs in, the band introduced itself as the Theatre Fire. Whoops.
Two members were absent, though, so I gave the remaining foursome a second shot, and their lulling, acoustic take on country music began to branch out with additions like xylophone and slide guitar. TF's songs were admittedly simple, but the set built a warm, pleasing mood that resembled a quieter Li'l Cap'n Travis.
Even so, the crowd was unimpressed until they got Fort Worth's Calhoun, whose midtempo make-out rock left all watchers starry-eyed. The band's Dallas debut benefited from restraint, as songs never got too poppy, and the vibraphone and organ parts were dynamic enough to offset the overused wah-wah pedal on lead guitar. Despite Calhoun's catchiness, I could barely remember the band's songs afterward, but considering how many people at Dada sang along, including Chemistry Set's Steve Duncan on guest vocals, I must have been the exception.
Chemistry Set had quite a task following Calhoun, but the band came out swinging, with all knobs turned to full. Some of the songs dragged with grungy guitar chords and excessive drums, but at their best, CS combined the whimsy of Starlight Mints with the bite of Dallas legends Funland, and they finished the night by matching Calhoun's talent.

When Warden had left the apartment, the Lady of Avenel gave way to the feelings of tenderness which the sight of the boy, his sudden danger, and his recent escape, had inspired; and no longer awed by the sternness, as she deemed it, of the preacher, heaped with blonde porn sluts the lovely and interesting child. He was now, in some measure, recovered from the consequences of his accident, and received passively, though not without wonder, the tokens of kindness with which he was thus loaded.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The March of Dimes has given Louisiana and Mississippi grades of F for high premature birth rates.
The group says 15.3 percent of all babies born in Louisiana last year spent less than 37 weeks in the womb. In Mississippi, that rate was 17.1 percent.
Alabama and Puerto Rico got the only other Fs, for rates of at least 14.6 percent.
Mississippi health department spokeswoman Liz Sharlot said nobody was available for comment Friday.
Louisiana health secretary Kathy Kliebert says Louisiana has a long way to go. But she says a campaign that started in late 2010 to reduce the premature birth rate is working.
Louisiana's rate went from 15.1 percent in 2010 to 15.6 in 2011, but fell three-tenths of a percentage point last year.

I think this is great, alucard. The neon nature still distracts me--I keep wanting to tone it down a tad--but that is a stylistic choice we've already discussed. I think the features and the layout are nice, and I absolutely love the oceans' darkness--how the coastal waters and land emerge from it. I can't think of anything else without getting really really nitpicks and into my personal preference realms.
Great job!!

Philip Morris International, the world's largest tobacco company, is prepared to sue the British government should it implement a law requiring plain packaging of cigarettes, a document seen by Reuters on Tuesday showed.
The UK government has conducted a consultation with its Department of Health on potential legislation which would force cigarette makers to sell their products in plain packages with graphic health warnings and no branding.
The maker of Marlboro cigarettes "is prepared to protect its rights in the courts and to seek fair compensation for the value of its property," the company has told the UK government in response to its consultation.
The UK government said in April it wanted to implement plain packaging after a review found it could reduce the incidence of children taking up smoking. It published draft regulations in June, and launched a six-week consultation that ended last week.
Philip Morris submitted its response to the UK government after the consultation.

The Republicans already caved on immigration when Romney would not challenge Obama's Executive Order Amnesty and said he would staple a green card to every foreigner's diploma.

We know that Americans want laws enforced because Montana voted to restrict benefits to Illegals 80-20 but voted for Romney only 55-45.

Now, in the thick of the 2014 NFL Mock Draft season, here's my second take:
1. Houston Texans
Jadeveon Clowney
DE, South Carolina
Don't give me the "he doesn't fit their scheme" stuff. You show me a defensive coordinator that can't fit a talent like Clowney into their scheme, and you'd be showing me a terrible defensive coordinator. Clowney looks like an extremely rare talent. I can't say the same about any quarterback in this draft. First-year head coach Billy O'Brien goes with the sure thing here. Clowney and J.J. Watt on the same team? Yikes.
2. St. Louis Rams (from Washington)
Greg Robinson
OT, Auburn
The Rams have a nice young core, but if they want to compete in the NFC West, they need to figure out how to slow down the Seahawks and 49ers' defensive lines–two of the best defensive lines in football. Robinson can help in that department.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Khalil Mack
LB, Buffalo
While this quarterback-needy team would have their choice of any of the quarterbacks here, Gus Bradley goes with what he knows best: defense. Whether they decide to line him up as a defensive end or a linebacker, it doesn't matter. Mack is a play-maker and that's what the Jags need.
4. Cleveland Browns
Johnny Manziel
QB, Tex A&M
The Browns need a quarterback. Plain and simple. It's not worth waiting to No. 26 to draft their QB and risk the top guys being off the board. Manziel is their guy. Given his ability to make plays with his legs he seems like a natural fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense–think RGIII's rookie season.
5. Oakland Raiders
Blake Bortles
Matt Schaub might be the starter in 2014, but the Raiders land their long-term solution at the quarterback position.
6. Atlanta Falcons
Jake Matthews
OT, Texas A&M
Thomas Dimitroff would have loved to see Clowney or Mack drop to this spot, but Matthews should also bring a smile to his face–Matt Ryan's too. Ryan needs more time to find Julio Jones and Rhoddy White, and Matthews looks like he has the talent to become an elite left tackle in the NFL.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sammy Watkins
WR, Clemson
Lovie Smith flat-out said it, Josh McCown is his guy. McCown played really well with two big receivers, Alshon Jeffrey and Brandon Marshall, with the Bears. With Mike Williams traded to the Bills, Smith makes his quarterback feel at home by bringing in another big, fast receiver to pair with Vincent Jackson.
8. Minnesota Vikings
Teddy Bridgewater
QB, Louisville
The Vikings need a quarterback–Matt Cassel isn't the answer–and Bridgewater is still on the board. Bridgewater is a smart QB who looks pro ready. It wasn't that long ago that Bridgewater seemed to be the consensus No. 1 overall pick. Vikings get a legit quarterback here.
9. Buffalo Bills
Eric Ebron
TE, North Carolina
The Bills get a serious weapon for E.J. Manuel by drafting the best tight end in the draft.
10. Detroit Lions
Darqueze Dennard
CB, Michigan State
The Lions have a big need at cornerback and Dennard is as talented as they come. He's a polished CB who could start Week 1 and make an impact.
11. Tennessee Titans
Anthony Barr
With the Titans expected to transition to a 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator Ray Horton, adding a legitimate edge rusher makes sense. Why not a freak athlete who was successful in a similar defense at UCLA?
12. New York Giants
Taylor Lewan
OT, Michigan
Despite being aggressive to shore up their offensive line in free agency, the Giants still need to add talent. Lewan could be a top-tier blindside protector for the rest of Eli Manning's career.
13. St. Louis Rams
Mike Evans
WR, Texas A&M
While they may be tempted to go safety or corner here, the Rams still need to beef up their offense to score points against the defensively elite NFC West. After going OL at No. 2, the Rams give Bradford a big-time weapon to pair with Tavon Austin.
14. Chicago Bears
Aaron Donald
DT, Pittsburgh
With Henry Melton gone, the Bears immediately replace him with Donald. Though a bit smaller than your typical 3-tech (6'1″, 285 lbs), Donald is a freak athlete who can get after the QB from the inside–an invaluable asset in a division with Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Justin Gilbert
CB, Oklahoma State
Ike Taylor is an old man. It's time bring some youth to the cornerback position. Gilbert is the full package. He's fast, long, a terrific athlete and has good instincts. Steelers are lucky he's still on the board here and they don't hesitate to take him.
16. Dallas Cowboys
Timmy Jernigan
DT, Florida State
Adding Melton was a good signing, but he's coming off a serious injury and the Boys still need to do some work on the defensive line regardless. Jernigan is a powerful DT with a nice burst. He should be able to step in and make an impact at either DT position in Dallas' defense.
17. Baltimore Ravens
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
S, Alabama
The Ravens want to add another rangy safety to pair with Matt Elam. While Calvin Pryor may be enticing here, Ozzie Newsome loves Alabama guys.
18. New York Jets
Brandin Cooks
WR, Oregon State
While a bit on the small side (5'10", 190 lbs), Cooks has the blazing speed and ridiculous athleticism to be the perfect complement to newly acquired WR Eric Decker.
19. Miami Dolphins
C. J. Mosley
LB, Alabama
I like the Phins going defense here and shoring up their linebacker depth. They spent tons of money on linebackers last offseason and didn't really get the results they hoped for. Mosley is a terrific inside linebacker with great instincts–he could certainly help.
20. Arizona Cardinals
Kony Ealy
DE, Missouri
John Abraham had a great season last year, leading the Cardinals with 11.5 sacks, but the old man (he'll be 36 in May) can't do it forever. Time to inject some talented youth. Ealy was an absolute beast for the Tigers at defensive end and has the athleticism to transition to an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme–versatility the Cardinals will value.
21. Green Bay Packers
Calvin Pryor
S, Louisville
With M.D. Jennings signing with divisional rivals Chicago Bears this offseason, the Packers need to find a quality safety to pair with Morgan Burnett. Pryor has ideal size and athleticism for the position, is explosive against the run and is strong in coverage. He would not only replace Jennings, he'd be an upgrade.
22. Philadelphia Eagles
Odell Beckham Jr.
With the departure of DeSean Jackson, the Eagles find a speedy replacement to play outside.
23. Kansas City Chiefs
Marqise Lee, WR
Southern California
The Chiefs don't have an impact wide receiver on their roster–Dwayne Bowe included. They get an explosive down-field threat in Lee.
24. Cincinnati Bengals
Dee Ford
DE, Auburn
The Bengals lost a lot of pass rush when Michael Johnson signed with the Bucs. In Ford, the Bengals get a player who can help alleviate that loss while also landing a player with a much higher ceiling.
25. San Diego Chargers
Kyle Fuller
CB, Virginia Tech
The Chargers need to upgrade at corner badly. It doesn't help that Peyton Manning is in their division. In Fuller, the Bolts get a lengthy, physical corner who hopefully can line up against a team's top option and be competitive.
26. Cleveland Browns (from Indianapolis)
Xavier Su'a-Filo
After landing Manziel, the Browns add the best guard in the draft to help keep him upright and maul in the running game. The Browns could be pretty good in 2014.
27. New Orleans Saints
Bradley Roby
CB, Ohio State
Adding safety Jairus Byrd to pair with Kenny Vaccaro was a big-time move, but the Saints can't stop there. Roby is an aggressive corner with good size and world-class speed. He'd give the Saints another quality option in the secondary.
28. Carolina Panthers
Kelvin Benjamin
WR, Florida State
After losing Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn, Jr. to free agency, Cam Newton is without his top three wide receivers from a season ago. Benjamin would give Newton a massive target (6'5″, 240) who could make an immediate impact in the redzone with potential to develop into a No. 1 option.
29. New England Patriots
Stephon Tuitt
DT/DE, Notre Dame
The rest of the world may think the Patriots will draft Louis Nix III to become Vince Wilfork's eventual replacement at NT, but Bill Belichick takes Tuitt here, a guy who will provide quality depth at different spots on the defensive line. Tuitt is unique in that he is massive at 6'5″, 305 lbs but has rare burst and athleticism for his size which allows him to be effective all along a defensive front. Primarily used as a DE in Notre Dame's 3-4, he could also line up as 3-tech DT and even at DE in a 4-3. The Patriots deploy both three- and four-man fronts on the regular, so Tuitt's versatility make him a natural fit.
30. San Francisco 49ers
Louis Nix III
DT/NT, Notre Dame
With the top WRs off the board, the 49ers take the best player on the board and add yet another immensely talented defensive lineman to an already elite defensive line.
31. Denver Broncos
Ryan Shazier
OLB, Ohio State
After losing Wesley Woodyard to the Titans, the Broncos have a void to fill at LB. While it's not a 1-to-1 swap–they are different players–Shazier would add some of the speed and coverage ability that they lost with the departure of Woodyard.
32. Seattle Seahawks
Zack Martin
OT/OG, Notre Dame
The Seahawks take a talented, versatile and pro-ready offensive lineman. While not a glaring need, investing in the future protection of your young franchise quarterback is good business.

Allen Bard: But the author, if I can interject, from our experience doesn't do that great a job. Most authors don't want to be publishers, and so they will do something, but it is not what the publisher does. It may be still legible, and it depends on what you want to get out of it.
Robert Lichter, Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation: I have a series of questions. From discussions I have had over the last couple of years with a number of folks—librarians, publishers, ACS people—I do want to commend ACS for really taking the lead on this and looking out for the interests of its membership.
One librarian, in a discussion about the societies versus commercial publishers, said with considerable heat and no small amount of vigor that ACS is a business, and one should not distinguish between ACS and commercial publishers. I tried to argue that, but I would like to hear from other people about some of the arguments for making that distinction.
Another question I have regards your comment about scientists preferring to publish in prestigious journals. What actually defines a prestigious journal when you really get down to it?
Third, there have been increasing calls for sort of self-published journals—the journal that publishes perhaps 20 papers a year on a super-specialized topic—arguing that because the costs can be so low, it is possible to have any number of these small highly specialized journals, more specialized than the current specialized journals, and that that is a good thing for communication of scientific results. You have probably heard this, too.
I would like to hear your views and others' views on that assertion.
Lorrin Garson: On the issue that ACS is a business, the ACS does run in a businesslike manner, no question about that. If we didn't, we would be out of business. The fact is the ACS is a legitimate not-for-profit organization, and as I said earlier, we are also not-for-loss. A librarian or any other individual certainly could look at the ACS as a commercial business because it is run in a businesslike manner, but the reality is that the ACS is it not a commercial publisher. I doubt if there will be any resolution of this debate.
Robert Lichter: The next question was that of the very small, specialized journals that can be published so easily. The argument is whether that is good for scientific unity.
Lorrin Garson: I think that the biggest single thing missing in that model is marketing. That notion implies that one doesn't have to market, that you can put up a journal on the Web, send a few e-mail messages to your friends, and everybody will know about it. It doesn't work that way. Marketing is a very important part of publishing.

|Johnny Come Lately
Has anyone ever had one? Did it help? Since prescription anti-inflammatories don't seem to make enough impact my doc has recommended a cortisone shot for piriformis syndrome.
have you done lots of stretching and rested? I had this problem this summer and it was so painful, I was limping and couldn't run. Cortisone won't heal you, you won't feel pain but the pain will come back sometime if you don't do proper stretching for that area.
|a friend did
I had a friend who had it and it helped. It took up to 10 days though
Dont do cortisone when massage or physical therapy will be more beneficial. Cortisone can break down muscle tissue. I hate how quickly Docs like to suggest surgery and shots...they're not necessary!
Find a good PT who has knowledge about running. Cortisone is only going to treat the symptoms not the cause.
I'm a collegiate runner who has been battling hip and lower back problems for 4 years now, the original problems started following a high femoral stress fracture and the subsequent lack of allowing adequate healing time for it. Following a flare up of back and piriformis pain last fall I received a Cortisone injection to clear up the pain allowing me to run and finish out my season. I was well aware that the injection would not cure the problem, just cover it up, but it absolutely worked for that tasked and after a day or two off following the injection I finished out the season pretty well. The doctor managed "hit" the spot exactly, which I guess is key to the injections success, I'd find a doctor who does lots of injections.
I took time off after the season to heal and haven't had problems in the last year. So if you are in need of pain relief only, for a "short" (up to several weeks)period of time I would recommend the shot, but also make sure you address the actual cause of the pain as soon as you can or once the injection wears off the pain will return, possibly with a vengeance. Good Luck.
Oh, and Cortisone injections, while not painful are no where enjoyable.
Doctor: "Alright, this is going to feel like a goal ball going into the low of your back."
Me: "Ok."
Doctor: "You may want to hold onto the table pretty firmly."
::Enter Golf Ball::
|Johnny Come Lately
Thanks for the input. I'm aware that the cortisone shot will reduce the inflammation and make the pain go away, but it won't "cure" anything. I am seeing a PT as well for stretching and strengthening. However the pain is interfering with my everyday functioning and it can wake me up at night if I roll over onto the affected side. So we're trying to get the pain to subside while we address the cause of the problem.
I've heard they can hurt. Since it's going into the "meat" of my butt hopefully it won't be as bad as if it were to inject into a joint.
|Deleted minute
My brother had one in his shoulder. He said it hurt like a b*tch --felt like battery acid, then freezing cold. I've heard they put lidocaine or something like that in it which may explain the cold feeling. I don't know much about them except what I have heard. However my brother said the shot pain was worth it since it made the pain in his rotator cuff completely subside. He was then able to address the causes through PT. Before the shot, PT wasn't working because it hurt him too much to fully complete the exercises. So I guess it can be beneficial to get you on track, but it's not a cure.
BTW, the Dr. tried all sorts of other options before he gave the shot, so I don't think the generalization of doctors being too quick to prescribe injections rather than stretching and strength work is accurate.
Read that they don't break down muscle but they will weaken tendons.

I came back and immediately knew what went on. I am happy to hear that we have new list administrators Cathal and Maribelis. Thank you so much for stepping up in helping our Barony become strong and stay that way. I also saw that no one is wanting to autocrat our event in Feb. The Seneschal booklet says that we must turn in paperwork at least 3 months before an event. That would be by next Thursday Nov. 15. Does this mean that we would have to cancel our war practice event? I will have to ask that question of our Regional. I hope this is not true. This is an event that will practically run itself. Since it IS a war practice other people will be running the different areas if I am correct. A regional war practice held on the Stones ground would be very good for us . PLEASE consider one of our open offices so we can continue to become the great Barony we once were. The same people doing the offices over and over is not what we want . Although we love the people who do these offices and consider their time dear, we want fresh blood with new ideas . If you love this Barony then please consider helping out! We need an Autocrat or two can share,for our event in Feb. We need a Herald, we need a MOC, we need a hospitaler, we will need a Chronicler in Jan. and a Reeve in 6 months. We cannot run with just a few doing all the work. We have so many awesome people in our fair Barony. It would be wonderful to get some new officers in these open positions. Think about it. Please. I love the talk and learning we have done about the question of Walker County's history, very enlightening and entertaining. Please keep up the good work we have begun and support our B&B and our Barony. Vivat Raven's Fort!! If you are an officer please send your reports to me asap.

PARANOIA MAN IN CHEAP SH*T ROOM Lyrics - The Fall
Paranoid man
In mid 30s
at the height of paranoia
at the zenith of his powers
By bed, replica shooter
zenith dissolving
by his bed replica shooter
in the zenith of his powers
When girls pass, puts his head down, in the street
His neighbors now are listening to this
Shakes in the chemist's
While buying his vits
Puts his head down
when girls pass in the street
Shakes in the chemist
Paranoid man in his late 30s
sponsored links32, 45
Reaches its summit
Male, mid 30s, white, paranoia
Goes down to the dance
Going down fast.
No heebies, creepies
or hallucinogenics
It's the height of paranoia
Male, white, mid-to-late 30s
Serial Number 54129
Going down to the dance
Going down fast
Leather jacket, baggy black pants
Very clever
Not as good as it was at 2:30
this afternoon
Late to mid 30s
Goes down to the dance
and drooped mental inertia
Mid 30s man in the grip of paranoia
Just like I told ya
Prefers karaoka.
Cheap shit half-dollar man

Huge Bon Jovi News Coming Soon
Jack FM has some huge news about Jon Bon Jovi -- and we will let the fat cat out of the bag in a day or two.
Jack FM has some huge news about Jon Bon Jovi -- and we will let the fat cat out of the bag in a day or two.
Jon Bon Jovi is buying the Buffalo Bills and moving the team to Toronto.
Bon Jovi have announced plans for a series of 30th anniversary releases in 2014, starting with a deluxe reissue of the band's 'New Jersey' album.
Reportedly leaving his band, security and management in the dark about a sudden wedding to his high school sweetheart, Bon Jovi said: "We did it for us."
The country legend has given the arena rock hit a gospel re-casting.
Two members of Shinedown have unplugged for a new take on Bon Jovi's timeless 'Wanted Dead or Alive.'
Bon Jovi, the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac were among the Top 10 money makers for 2013, based on touring, music sales, publishing royalties and streaming revenue for the past year.
The war of words between Bon Jovi and the band's exiled guitarist Richie Sambora has cooled off over the last several months, but that doesn't mean Sambora has made peace with the idea of the group touring without him.
Ever wonder how long it takes to set up a huge stage for a massive concert?
Thanks to Bon Jovi, we can now see it all in about a minute.

China services activity highlights modest recovery
BEIJING (Reuters) – Growth in China's increasingly important services sector ticked up slightly in January, the fourth straight monthly rise, adding to evidence that the recovery in the world's second-largest economy is a modest one. China's official purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the non-manufacturing sector rose to 56.2 in January from 56.1 in December, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Sunday.

Most homeowner, mobile home, condominium, and renter insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage. About 20 percent of Oregonians have earthquake coverage, which must be purchased separately. Since many homeowners' biggest investment is their home, earthquake insurance may help protect that investment.
Costs vary widely based on the type of house, its age, the nature of the soil, and the proximity to known fault lines. Older homes cost more to insure than newer homes. In some cases, older homes may have to be retrofitted to qualify for coverage. Coverage for wood-frame homes costs less than coverage for brick homes, as wood-frame homes "flex" and are subject to less damage in case of an earthquake.
A 2009 survey of the Portland market indicated that earthquake coverage for a wood-frame home insured for $300,000 with $150,000 in personal property coverage could be purchased for $200 to $300 annually. The cost for similar coverage on a brick or masonry home would be higher.
Most insurers place a moratorium on selling earthquake coverage for a period of time after any significant seismic event. So, buy earthquake insurance before an earthquake.

Since the winning league in the All-Star Game has also been the winning league in the World Series over the past five years, there is value in attempting to win the game if you are on a team with postseason potential. Adam Jones and Nelson Cruz were in the starting lineup with a view toward accomplishing that very goal with hopes that the Orioles will be the team in October benefitting from home field advantage. (Matt Wieters was at the game as well.)
If the Orioles are to be the beneficiaries of this All-Star Game prize, it will not be because of their personal contributions. Between the two of them, they were 0-for-4.
But with the 5-3 American League victory over the National League, some AL team will indeed inherit this advantage when the final two MLB teams battle it out in the World Series this year.
Nelson Cruz At-bats (6th in starting lineup)
After the American League scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning off Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals, Cruz grounded out to shortstop for the final out.
Cruz struck out against Zack Greinke in the fourth inning. I am getting very concerned about the at-bats that I am seeing from Cruz. His head is flying out before the ball gets to the plate, and he is chasing pitches that are moving down, or down and away.
Adam Jones At-bats (7th in starting lineup)
Jones led off the bottom of the second inning against the very tough Clayton Kershaw, and he hit a 1-0 pitch as a foul pop-out to the third baseman.
Like Cruz, Jones came to bat and immediately followed with a strikeout, chasing a low pitch.
All-Star Excitement?
The ratings for baseball's All-Star Game have been largely on the decline for a variety of reasons. Here on the East Coast, it is 10:45 in the evening and the seventh inning is just now beginning. Like many people, I am on vacation and writing this from a hotel room. Would I be watching if I did not need to be doing this column? Maybe, but not certainly.
I enjoyed and looked forward to the All-Star Game as a kid, enjoying the chance to see all the stars of MLB in a single game at the same time. And there is still a positive to that element, I suppose. There is also something to be said for it being an exhibition of talent, however, there were more than a few shaky plays and wild throws … players out of position defensively for cutoffs, etc.
The Game has always happened (in fact, WAY back, there were two in a season), and it always will happen. It provides a break for the majority of players in the middle of the season and a fun experience for those who participate. But honestly, I'm always glad to see the thing come and go.
The Orioles have a HUGE road trip coming up on the West Coast. It is critical for the season, and I'll be writing a bit on this theme in coming days.

The BMW MOA is the largest independent single-marque motorcycle organization in the world.
In slightly over 30 years it has grown from just an idea into a family of approximately 38,000 members. Our annual International Rally is the largest BMW motorcycle event in the world and our monthly magazine, the BMW Owners News, the premier BMW motorcycle publication.
These accomplishments, as impressive as they are, do not really describe what makes the BMW MOA so special. Rather, it's that virtually all the effort to achieve them was, and continues to be, done by volunteers. Aside from a small paid Headquarters staff of six, and an even smaller independent contractor crew who publish the Owners News, virtually everything else that makes the association tick is done by volunteer members – hundreds of them.
Everyone from the Board of Directors, to the International Rally Chair and Rally Committee Chairs, to every rally worker, and even those who submit articles to the Owners News or support the web site are volunteers. They often spend many, many hours of personal time in thankless tasks to provide services others take for granted. Time taken from personal pursuits, family, and (most importantly) riding. All done for nothing more than the satisfaction of a job well done. Many others just extend an offer of help when a fellow rider is in need.
