ROUND 10 – Hungary, 28 July 2013, Budapest
1st: Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), 1hr 42m 29.445s (av. race speed 179.506 km/h)
2nd: Kimi Raïkkönen (Lotus Renault), gap: 10.938s
3rd: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault), gap: 12.459s
Fastest Lap: Mark Webber (Red Bull Renault), 1:24.069 = 187.603 km/h on lap 61
Pole Position: Hamilton, 1:19.388 = 198.664 km/h
Lewis Hamilton signed off the first half of his first season with Mercedes with his maiden win in a Silver Arrow, calling it "one of the most important Grand Prix wins of my career". The 28-year-old Englishman set the victory up with a pole position – his 30th – that surprised even him. He then took full advantage, pitting on laps 9, 31 and 50 of the 70-lap race as he claimed the 22nd victory of his career and his fourth on the demanding Hungaroring.
"I think you could tell I was hungry for it," Hamilton told podium interviewer Martin Brundle. "What a great weekend! We really didn't expect this when we came here this weekend and I said last night that I would need a miracle to win today. Well, just maybe they do happen. The team called the strategy and the pit stops just right and then it was just about managing the gap. I had some racing to do out there, though, with Jenson and Mark and I think we had the pace on everyone today." The Mercedes joy was slightly tempered by Nico Rosberg's late-race engine failure after a trying weekend for the two-time 2013 winner.
Kimi Raïkkönen racked up his fifth second-place finish in Budapest, the Lotus-Renault calmly resisting a late challenge from Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull Renault to move back into second place in the Drivers' Championship ahead of Fernando Alonso, who could manage only fifth for Ferrari. "I keep making my life difficult on Saturdays and we pay the price," said the rueful Finn, who qualified sixth then produced a minor miracle by stopping only twice, squeezing a 28-lap final stint out of Pirelli's Medium tyres. "We're only halfway through the season and it will be hard to catch up," added Raïkkönen, "but anything can still happen so we'll keep fighting until the end." His sixth podium of the season will have done nothing to harm his chances of joining Vettel at Red Bull next year.
As usual, Lotus teammate Romain Grosjean claimed some of the headlines, but this time mostly for the right reasons. A strong run to third in qualifying set up the Frenchman for a typically aggressive race which faltered when he made contact with Button's McLaren at one-third distance and was forced outside the race track. The stewards imposed a drive-through penalty which he served after 38 laps and ruined Grosjean's day with a 20-second time addition. Sixth place in the end was poor reward for an entertaining drive. "For sure this is one that got away, but I'm very happy with my race and I honestly don't think I could have done much more," he said. "Maybe the strategy didn't quite work how we wanted, but the car felt really good and it was the traffic that cost us."
Vettel complained on team radio that his potential partner Kimi had not left him enough room as he tried desperately to claim second place on lap 68, but the German – still winless in Hungary – shrugged that off as a "heat of the moment" comment when the two joked together on the podium. Pipped to pole by Hamilton, Championship leader Vettel saw his chances compromised by two moments with McLaren's Jenson Button. The first was after the first round of pit stops, when Vettel damaged his front wing in his attempt to overtake the Englishman; when he pitted for the second time on lap 34 he again rejoined behind Button and lost priceless time trying to rectify the situation. "It was not the best race," he mused, but he actually extended his title lead over Alonso and conceded just three points to Raïkkönen.
If Hamilton's triumph was set up by Mercedes' qualifying effort, Mark Webber's race was totally compromised on Saturday when another KERS failure and a gear-shift glitch meant he could achieve only 10th place on the grid. "Stupid and embarrassing" was Webber's reaction, but he drove another storming race to come home fourth, starting on the primes, pitting three times and trying to salvage a podium with a late run on the softer option tyres that yielded his 17th career fastest lap. Webber managed to pass Hamilton as the Englishman emerged from the pits on lap 50 but could not resist his attack, running off-track as Hamilton forced his way past. "I don't think we could have got much more than that result today," said the Australian who now prepares for his final nine races in Formula 1.
Other talking-points
The McLaren mini-revival continued with seventh place for Jenson Button and ninth for Sergio Pérez. Two-time Budapest winner Button complained jokingly of being a target for other cars after being tapped by both Vettel and Grosjean but stressed the upside of his weekend. "I ran almost half the race on the Prime tyre, which was the longest of anybody; it's good to show we can do that," he said. "Our middle-stint pace on the Option was also very good, and I had a blinding first lap, jumping from 13th to eighth. We beat a Ferrari fair and square, and we'd also have beaten a Mercedes if Nico hadn't stopped – we can take a lot of positives away from here."
McLaren are now just two points adrift of Force India, who will want to forget Hungary and get on with the second half of the year. Celebrating his 100th start, Adrian Sutil was out after 19 laps with a hydraulic leak; Paul di Resta was classified 19th but posted a DNF as the hydraulic problem became contagious. "Over the summer break we will regroup, analyse things properly and take a fresh approach into the second part of the year," said the Scot after his second straight no-score.
Our preview highlighted the fact that Williams went to Budapest still pointless. They left the Hungarian capital with their first score in the bag, albeit a single point for Pastor Maldonado's 10th place. "I had a really good start from P15 and made a few overtaking manoeuvres during the race which were on the limit, which is especially pleasing as at this track it is very hard to overtake," said the Venezuelan. The Williams glee was also lessened by a first retirement for 2013 newcomer Valtteri Bottas.
Dan Ricciardo failed to build on a fine qualifying effort, coming home 13th behind Toro Rosso teammate Jean-Eric Vergne (see 'Dan the Man'). He remains two points behind the Frenchman in 14th place overall.
Next race: round 11, Belgium, August 25
Webber's last crack at the glorious Spa-Francorchamps circuit – and the place where Red Bull will probably announce who's to replace him next year. Catch our full preview right here…

Related Media: Hip Replacement
total hip replacement
is a surgery to replace a diseased or injured hip joint. An artificial ball-and-socket joint is inserted to make a new hip. It can be done by full open surgery or a minimally invasive technique. The minimally invasive technique only requires 1 or 2 tiny incisions and special instruments.
This surgery is done when pain and stiffness limit your normal activities and rest, medication, and physical therapy are no longer working.
Other reasons for surgery may include a broken hip, severe rheumatoid arthritis, bone tumors, and loss of blood supply to the bones of the hip.
If you are planning to have a hip replacement, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the surgery.
Your doctor will do a physical exam and may also do:
In the time leading up to the procedure:
General anesthesia
will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV.
An incision will be made along your joint. The muscles will be moved aside. The damaged bone and cartilage of the hip joint will be removed. The remaining bone will be prepared for the prosthesis. The new artificial joint will be placed in position. Depending on the type of prosthesis, bone cement may be used to hold one or both parts of the artificial hip firmly to your bone. Lastly, the incision will be closed with stitches or staples.
This surgery may be done with 1 or 2 small incisions, one over the groin and another over the buttock. Special tools are used that fit into these small incisions. In some cases, x-rays will be used to help guide the doctor.
For the one-incision surgery, an incision will be made over the outside of your hip. The muscles and tendons will be moved out of the way. Next, the damaged bone and cartilage of the hip joint will be removed. The remaining bone will be prepared for the prosthesis. The new artificial joint will then be placed in position. Depending on the type of prosthesis, bone cement may be used to hold the artificial hip in place. Lastly, the incision will be closed with staples or stitches.
You will have pain after the surgery. Pain medication will be given to help with discomfort.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is:
Your doctor may choose to keep you longer, if complications occur. In some cases, you may need to stay in a rehabilitation unit. The focus will be on regaining function.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may need to:
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Antibiotics may be needed before certain dental procedures or surgeries now that you have an artificial joint. This will prevent possible infections from entering the bloodstream. Make sure to let the dentist or doctor know that you have an artificial joint.
Within 6 weeks, you should be able to resume normal, light activities. A replacement hip typically lasts 10-15 years.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Comments about LifeProof iPhone 4/4S Case:
Read or watch the instructions. i am in the engineering field and i can say i am very glad they made this cover. it fell out of my pocket and into a drum of 15w40 oil, all the way to the bottom. fished it out and worked fine, accidentally left it in a bag of tools throwing the bag around and it was fine. I was on my motorcycle through a monsoon using GPS and it was fine. my weekend adventures at the bar or club, spilled alcoholic drinks, fell into the toilet, dropped on the dance floor got kicked around and stepped on and it was fine. my adventure at the beach, skipped it on the surface and took videos at 7 ft (i lost track of how deep i was going, i would not try) and it was fine. snow boarding with my wife threw it about 25 yards so she can use the phone, missed the catch, ducked taped it to my leg to get videos while doing insane jumps crashing at times and it was fine. Road biking with my friends soaked in sweat and it was fine. i think the best one is being able to use a phone, search on the internet, play games, listen to music and not have to worry about dropping it or getting it wet while at an ONSEN( japanese public bath and relaxation) and it worked fine. as far as the jacks i don't know what ya'll are using but my car jack just plugs in. so hazardous material, alcoholic beverages, cold, hot, sand, pressure, impact, sweat, and my final one is dog grabbed it with its mouth and bit it lightly, covered with saliva, body fluids dog or human and it worked fine. its not indestructible but good God have some common sense even if you are as clumsy as i am.

There is no place in the world like the Las Vegas Strip, the 3 ½-mile-long stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard packed with more than 20 of the world's largest casino-resorts and nearly 70,000 hotel rooms. Many of the properties here, like the Luxor's 30-story, pyramid-shaped main building, are architectural wonders in their own right. At street level, one-of-a-kind spectacles, like the exploding volcano in front of the Mirage and the dancing fountains in front of the Bellagio, compete to attract the attention of passers-by. Hordes of tourists, ranging from vacationing American families to international tourists to packs of drunken guys intent on bachelor-party hi-jinx, stroll the boulevard, while every manner of flashing light, marketing gimmickry, and advertisement attempts to lure them out of the blazing desert sun for games of chance, fine dining, or an entertainment extravaganza.
But no description of the Strip would be complete without a discussion of sex. It's everywhere. Scantily clad cocktail waitresses are ubiquitous in the casinos. The hotels put on erotic burlesque shows like the MGM Grand's Crazy Horse Paris. Adult-only pools, where women go topless, are features at most of the big resorts. And prostitution, though not legal, is largely tolerated in the form of "escort services," which are advertised by moving billboards up and down the Strip.
The combination of all these elements is a place that strikes many as a unique concentration of excitement, spectacle, food, entertainment, glamour, luxury, and sex -- in short, fun -- and others as a uniquely tasteless and distasteful abomination. But most people who come to the Strip know what they're getting into -- and they tend to have a blast.
Because almost everything in Las Vegas is a loss leader for the casinos, you can get more luxury for your dollar on the Strip than in almost any other place in the world. From the Flamingo in the late 1940s, to the Desert Inn and Caesars Palace in the 1960s, to the Mirage in the late 1980s, to the Bellagio, Venetian and Wynn in the past decade or so, and the Encore and Palazzo most recently, a succession of gambling palaces have successfully outdone all previous contenders in terms of over-the-top luxury. Rooms are bigger, pools and spas are more elaborate, and perks like a flatscreen TV in the bathroom or an automated bedside curtain control have become, largely, the norm. Unfortunately, paying $20-30 to use a fitness center, and even more to use the spa facilities, and at least $15 to access a Wi-Fi connection are also typical of most hotels in Vegas.
In the 1990s, Vegas began more aggressively marketing itself to families with resorts like the Arthurian-themed Excalibur, the Ancient Egyptian Luxor, and the Pirate-themed Treasure Island. A roller coaster went up at New York, New York. Ultimately, though, pure luxury seemed the more successful gambit, and many of these properties began downplaying their themes in favor of general extravagance. Still, many of the most prominent features of these hotels (the pyramid, the pirate ship) are among the Strip's staple attractions. And some of the best family hotels have no discernible theme at all. Hotels like Mandalay Bay or the MGM Grand simply focus on incredible pools.
Like miniature cities, just about any major hotel on the strip will have upwards of 20 restaurants, extravagant entertainment, posh nightclubs, and luxury boutique shopping all on-site. Though you're never stuck dining, drinking, or gaming at any one hotel, it's worth noting that the Strip stretches about 3.5 miles and that while most of the area's attractions are just a short cab, monorail, or double-decker bus ride away, it's not an area well-designed for getting around by foot. Just walking from one giant hotel casino to its next-door neighbor can be a 10-minute hike in the scorching sun. So while staying in the center of the Strip, right around Paris and the Bellagio, is arguably a bit more geographically desirable, choosing the right hotel should be a more important consideration than location. Finding the right hotel, often just depends on stylistic tastes what you'd like to do -- lounge at the best pool, bet at the best casino, dine at the best restaurants, relax in the best spa, party in the best nightclubs. And for many visitors, the hotel with the best rate is really the best option -- be sure to shop around, and don't necessarily dismiss a hotel if it's running for as little as $30/night.

Well, it's hard to believe that the 2012-13 high school basketball season has come to an end, but it at least ended on a high note.
It was good to see the Talihina Golden Tigers return to state after a season off. Prior to 2012, the Tigers made state four straight seasons — winning the gold ball in 2011.
It just seemed that third time wasn't the charm for Talihina. The Golden Tigers upset Oktaha to win the regional title, then six nights later did likewise against Preston to win the area tournament and make state.
However, Thursday afternoon the fifth-ranked Latta Panthers stood in the way of the Talihina boys making Friday night's Class 2A State Tournament semifinals. While the Golden Tigers kept hanging around, the Panthers were always able to keep them at bay.
College Signings
Area coaches, this little segment is for you. If you are going to have any players signing college letters of intent to play college basketball, I can present for the big occasion.
If I'm notified at least a day, preferably two or more days, before the signing takes place of where and when, there will be good chance I can be there to talk to our lucky athlete(s) and coaches about the big occasion.

Steep Time: 5 minutes
We encourage you to experiment with the quantity of tea leaves and the length of the steep time to find your desired brew strength. Varying the water temperature isn't recommended, as water that is too hot will over-extract the bitter components of tea, while water that is too cool might not fully draw out the aromas and flavors of tea.

Nectar of the gods!
By Allan on July 20, 2012
TN United States
I sure would like to shake the hand of the person who came up with this "recipe"! One cup is all it took for me to put this delicious "tea" on my permanent list of "must have" pantry items. The balance of flavors is perfection - just enough of each, not too much of any. While I prefer it slightly sweetened, it's delicious on its own, too. Thank You Richi!!!

I prefer tea that is a little sweeter to the taste and this fits the bill! While I'm a cinnamon lover, I usually don't care for cinnamon tea all that much. . . One whiff of this when I opened the container and I HAD to try it immediately. I'm not certain what is better - the smell or the taste! Both are truly wonderful.

The perfect cup of tea..
By Maureen on February 6, 2014
Apple Valley, AL United States
I discovered this wonderful tea at our local co-op. To me this is a complete cup of tea. The scent reacts to your senses like aromatherapy....peaceful. Then when you sip the tea it creates a peacefulness in your body. Plus it's caffeine free. The perfect combination of ingredients.

Hazelnut Muffin with Cinnamon Plum Apple Jam
Cinnamon Plum Apple Jam:
1 large apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
2 Tbs. Rishi Organic and Fair Trade Cinnamon Plum Loose leaf Tea
16 oz of boiling water (fresh spring water or filtered water)
2 Tbs. sugar
Add 2 tablespoons of Rishi Cinnamon Plum loose leaf tea to a heat resistant pitcher and pour 16 oz of boiling water over the tea. Steep it for 5 minutes, then strain out the tea and pour remaining liquid into a saucepan. Add apple to the Cinnamon Plum infusion and bring to a boil. Cook until the apple softens, stirring occasionally. Add sugar in boiling apple mix and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Then pour into a jar, seal it and store in a refrigerator overnight. Makes approximately 8 oz Cinnamon Plum Apple Jam.
Hazelnut Muffin (from Williams-Sonoma):
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup finely chopped toasted hazelnuts*
Preheat an oven to 400°F. Lightly butter the wells of a standard muffin pan.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, stir together the butter, sour cream, egg and vanilla. Add the butter mixture and hazelnuts to the flour mixture and stir until just blended.
Fill each well halfway with batter. Using the back of a teaspoon, make a small indentation on top of the batter and add 1 tsp. of the Cinnamon Plum apple Jam to each. Bake until the muffins are golden and pull away from the sides of the pan, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack. Let the muffins cool, then remove them from the pan. Repeat with the remaining batter. Makes 12–18 muffins.
*Tip on peeling hazelnut skin: Spread the shelled hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking pan. Toast in a 350°F oven until the skin begins to flake and the nuts appear golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Rub the hazelnuts together in the towel, rubbing off as much skin as possible.

If players are paid for each game then what happens to teams who make the playoffs? I'm assuming their salaries are divided by 16 and then paid weekly, or 8 and bi-weekly, so what happens when your team makes the playoffs, are you NOT paid for those games, or is it bonus money or what? You can't predict if you're gonna make the playoffs before the season, or the variables like 1st round bye or elimination, so you can't really set it up to divide it by MORE than 16 (or 8) games. I'm not even positive that's how they get paid, I just see all the time "so and so fined one games pay" or something like that, so it made me think their salaries are divided up by the games. So what's the deal with player's pay that don't make the playoffs versus those who do?
*EDIT* Sorry, this doesn't really have to do with Miami so I guess it's in the wrong forum.

Recipe by SANDYWIFEY31S
"MMMMM...Vegan Brownies!!!! These are very gooey, which is a good thing in my book. However, if you want your brownies a little more solid you'll need to cook them longer than the recommended time. Great for people with egg or dairy allergies too!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups
white sugar
3/4 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon
1 cup
1 cup
vegetable oil
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
I get a little frustrated by reviews that recommend non-vegan additions to a vegan recipe. I think that there are plenty of great non-vegan brownie recipes to add those comments to.
Here are my vegan recommendations:
Use raw sugar instead of white sugar. Not only does this ensure that it is vegan, but the raw sugar crystals make a beautiful glimmer on top of the brownies! The first time I made these I used oil. I even cut down the oil, and they were still very oily. The very next batch (made the same day) I used vegetable shortening instead. They were soooo much better. I added a few shots of espresso (from my local cafe) to the batter. You don't taste the espresso itself, but it does wonderful things to the chocolate taste. You could substitute with strong coffee. Here's the key for those who have crumbling brownie issues. Mix the flour and the water first. This allows the gluten to form. It helps to let that sit for a little bit before adding the other ingredients. If you don't do this, then the oil in the recipe will make it impossible for the water and flour to form gluten and make the brownies stick. I have substituted vanilla soy milk for the water in the past, and that worked well too. I have also added nice little extras. Try peppermint extract or cayenne pepper (really...I mean it chocolate and cayenne pepper are sooo good together).
I'm sorry - I followed this recipe to a "T" and they were without a doubt THE worst brownies ever. I always bake for my husband's work & one of the girls recently became a vegan. I'll admit I have never made vegan recipes before so perhaps my tastes vary - they were very bland, and just didn't even resemble brownies. I doubt I'll even send them in - just enough for her. I have a reputation to uphold after all!! Thanks for sharing but I won't make again.

These are only vegan if you use raw sugar. If you use white sugar they are not even vegetarian, as animal bone char is used in the bleaching process.
I reviewed this recipe once before, thinking these were awesome brownies. I tried making them again last night with a few changes and they turned out the absolute best brownies I have ever made. I did a half batch in an 8" square non-stick pan, which I lightly sprayed with Pam. I used 1 cup AP flour, 3/4 cup white sugar, 6 TBS cocoa, ½ tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, ½ cup water, 2 TBS veg oil, ½ cup natural/unsweetened applesauce, and 1 tsp vanilla. I poured half the batter in the pan, put in a layer (around 3/4 cup total) of butterscotch and chocolate chips, and then poured in the rest of the batter, spreading to cover the chips. They took around 30 minutes to bake, but we have a new oven and are adapting from our old one. :) They were rich, gooey, fudgy, but not overly sweet. Thank you again, Sandy. This is the BEST!!
I have tried SO MANY vegan brownie recipes in search of the perfect one, and WOW! These are incredible! I made a few changes, but nothing major; just little things to suit my personal tastes, and my boyfriend & I REALLY loved these! We made a half-batch, and these are my notes:
-Used 1/4 c. canola oil, plus 1/2 c. organic unsweetened applesauce for the oil.
-Added 1/4 tsp. almond extract, in addition to the vanilla.
-Threw in about 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (vegan, of course!).
-Used coffee instead of water.
We baked for 23 minutes, and they are ooey, gooey, DELICIOUSNESS!
Thank you so much for sharing! I will be making these quite often, I'm sure. *Oh--Also: I didn't find these crumbly at all, as stated by other reviewers. Perhaps the applesauce helped bind them together better?*
I'm fairly experienced with vegan baking and often just adapt existing non-vegan recipes (it's fairly easy once you've gone through a bit of trial and error and know what works and what doesn't). So, this recipe intrigued me. I used it as a base and straight off it seemed like a LOT of oil. I don't really like baking with oil even though most vegan recipes suggest it because it makes the product greasy. So, I changed the recipe for 12 servings (to bake in a 12x muffin pan). I used 3/4 of the amount of fat it suggested (I substituted oil for melted vegan non-hydrogenated margarine). I doubled the liquid and used 1/2 soy milk and 1/2 water. I used Demerara sugar instead of white and 1/2ed that too. I then added 2 table spoons maple syrup (to give back some moisture and gooeyness). I doubled the amount of vanilla extract and added 1 tsp cinnamon.
It made the mix quite dough like and it actually rolled up into a ball. I worked with it like that, breaking off 12 portions, rolling them into balls and pressing them into the muffin tin. I then baked it for only 15 minutes to keep them gooey. They came out delicious! They aren't very sweet with less sugar (my intention) so if you like your brownies sweeter (and higher calories!) add 2-3 more table spoons maple syrup!
These were good but crumbly. I wouldn't take them to a get together, due to the crumbliness, but I'd definitely make them again to eat at home. They didn't seem too oily to me like some reviewers stated. I baked them for 35 minutes, a little longer than the recipe called for.
Some reviewers have commented that white sugar isn't vegan. If it's cane sugar, it may not be vegan if it has been processed with bone char but not all cane sugar is processed that way. You'd need to write, call, or e-mail the manufacturer and ask. I prefer not to mess with that and just use beet sugar. It looks and tastes just like cane sugar and is vegan as it is never processed with bone char.
Also, "THEBOYCANPLAY" said that these are "not exactly vegan, as being vegan implies a bit more of a mindset than "no eggs, no dairy"
I'm not sure exactly why this reviewer said this. If it's because of the white sugar, again, white sugar can be vegan. If it's because these aren't exactly a health food, food doesn't have to be healthy to qualify as vegan. A food is vegan if it doesn't contain animal products of any kind.
These are awesome brownies. I wanted to cut back on fat and calories some though, so I used splenda instead of white sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of soy milk and 1/2 cup of oil instead of 1 cup water and 1 cup of oil.

Melody Ehsani
Leaving law school to design accessories, jewelry, and shoes wasn't the easiest step for Persian designer Melody Ehsani, but it made the most sense. Ehsani wants women who wear her bold, modern goods to be empowered and to embrace looking fantastic and feeling great about themselves.

I'm beginning to get worried about the Jets selecting before and after us... I'm not necessarily worried about them in this upcoming season but they have the potential to dampen one of the most anticipated drafts in franchise history. I know a lot of us are pleased with Irelands efforts this off-season but we can't lose sight on his history on draft day. We have multiple picks after the 1st round but the Jets have two in the 1st round with the the majority of Mock drafts expecting them to go DE and WR/TE.
If they end up going this route, it could really work in our favor. I believe DE is a position we will consider in the later rounds. Did everyone forget O. Vernon?? I thought he played well and we drafted him only a year ago. Why is DE all of a sudden a position of need when J. Ireland already addressed it last year? Unless the DE will be DT hybrid, a 3-4 DE, which makes sense with this most likely being R. Starks' last year. I also believe we addressed our WR/TE in the off-season by signing three wide receivers (Wallace, Hartline, and Gibson).
You have to narrow down our options in the 1st round and I believe they are CB or OL. Not the sexy pick some are expecting such as T. Austin but this will continue improving our team for the upcoming season. As long as the Jets don't feel the need to replace D. Revis with a rookie CB we should be in good shape.
1. How would you guys feel if we targeted a CB with our 1st pick such as Milliner, Rhodes, or Trufant?
2. What are the chances of the NY Jets going CB as well?
Good luck tomorrow guys! I'm hoping we can look back on this draft as a model for the future.
Go Fins!

- The report is an interactive report
- There may be up to 10,000 records in the report
- When the user "scrolls" through the report (i.e. uses pagination), if they checked off a box it should remain checked the entire time (i.e. if they check an row in the 1st 15 rows, then view rows 16~30, then go back to rows 1~15 it should remain checked)
So here's the example on how to do it. The working example can be found here: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=20195:500
Create an application item F_EMPNO_LIST. Note you can use a page item as well...
Setup IR:
SELECT apex_item.checkbox (1,
) checkbox,
empno, ename, job
FROM emp
Once the report is setup set the row display to 5 (you'll need it for this example)
- Add an HTML region and add the following code: (Note: the jQuery call is not needed... for now)
CHECKBOX List:&F_EMPNO_LIST.
Now create an application process (on Demand) called: CHECKBOX_CHANGE
-- Application Process: CHECKBOX_CHANGE
-- On Demand...
v_item_val NUMBER := apex_application.g_x01;
v_checked_flag VARCHAR2 (1) := apex_application.g_x02;
IF v_checked_flag = 'Y' THEN
-- Add to the list
IF :f_empno_list IS NULL THEN
:f_empno_list := ':' || v_item_val || ':';
:f_empno_list := :f_empno_list || v_item_val || ':';
-- Remove from the list
:f_empno_list := REPLACE (:f_empno_list, ':' || v_item_val || ':', ':');
-- Just for testing
HTP.p (:f_empno_list);
- On the post page create a query to view data (you can process how you need/want)
select *
from emp
where instr(:F_EMPNO_LIST, ':' || empno || ':') > 0
Please note there may be better/faster ways to implement the SQL code etc.
Here are some links on the x01 code that I used:

|Tour Vermont With an Expert Photographer
Here's a great way to get a personalized tour of the most picturesque parts of Vermont and also get some help in photographing it all. It's like getting two for the price of one!
Steve Mermelstein is a professional photographer who
makes a living doing commercial, fine art, and wedding photography. He also operates VT Photo Tours, a company in South Burlington Vermont that escorts small groups of people to photograph some of the most picturesque scenery around this beautiful state. You can see some client samples here.
Not only does Steve know where to go, he knows what time of day to be there to get the best light. As someone who has found a great scene but was unable to get a good photo because I was facing straight into the sun, I know the value of being at the right place at the right time.
As Steve says on his website, "Youll have opportunities to take photographs of breathtaking landscapes, lakes, ponds, classic and historic architecture in small villages, covered bridges, barns and farm scenes, and/or visit locations where wildlife is often observed."
Plus, he's very willing to modify the tour to meet client requests.
Prices vary from $299 for a half day tour to $399.99 for a full day (up to 3 persons) and usually concentrates on northern VT but he is happy to accommodate southern VT tours for a small additional gas fee. Groups larger than three are welcome too.
Steve even has a money back guarantee! See the website for more details and contact information.
Right now he is booking both Spring and Fall foliage foliage tours.
Steve is on Facebook and Twitter.

Focus: Teflon & EPA
A Wide Range of Impacts
Undue influence
- Resources for Action
In 2010, DuPont ranked #86 in the Fortune 500 list (down 20 places from 2004). [1] DuPont is the third largest chemical producer (following Dow and ExxonMobil Chemicals). [1] According to the company's own website, it was at first "primarily an explosives company." [2] Now, the company's products include Teflon, paint, fibers, chemicals and pesticides.

Type of corporation Public (traded on the New York Stock Exchange)
Pesticides and Agricultural Biotechnology
In 1999, DuPont Agriculture and Nutrition, among the largest of the company's six business units, acquired Pioneer Hi-Bred—a top producer of genetically modified seeds. This transformed DuPont into the largest seed supplier in the world.[8] In 2009, the Agriculture and Nutrition unit generated sales totaling US$8.3 billion. [4]
DuPont is responsible for a wide range of harmful pesticide products and ingredients, including:
Benomyl Highly persistent fungicide.[9] Has been linked to serious health problems including birth defects and heart, liver and kidney damage.[9] Also known for its toxic and lethal impact on microorganisms, earthworms and fish.[9] Litigants acting against DuPont have successfully sued the company for birth defects, crop damage and shrimp kills related to benomyl and its contaminants.[10] DuPont phased out benomyl in 2001 after paying a reported US$1 billion in litigation costs. [10]
Clopyralid Manufactured by Dow and DuPont, this herbicide is widely used on lawns and wheat crops,. It has been detected at significant levels in commercial and municipal compost in Washington, California, Pennsylvania and New Zealand, posing a threat to the rapidly growing composting industry.[11]
CyanazineRestricted use, triazine herbicide.[12] Cyanazine is a developmental and reproductive toxin, a mutagen and extremely carcinogenic.[13] Cyanazine is the most toxic of all triazine herbicides, and is said to be the most toxic of all herbicides found in drinking water.[14] Between 1990 and 1993, cyanazine was the fifth most commonly used herbicide in American agriculture.[15] It has been found in groundwater in 15 states and surface water in 30 states.[13] In 1995, average cyanazine levels exceeded EPA's Lifetime Health Advisory (LHA) levels in 13 of 29 cities tested by the Environmental Working Group.[14] In 1995, DuPont initiated a four-year voluntary incremental cancellation of cyanazine.[16]
Diuron Broad spectrum herbicide. According to California EPA, diuron is a chemical known to cause cancer.[17] In 1994, diuron was the fourth most frequently found pesticide in UK waterways, in excess of legal contamination levels.[18]
Mancozeb Cholinesterase inhibitor and fungicide that effects the nervous system, leading to fatigue, headaches, nausea and blurred vision.[19] Mancozeb exposure has been found to increase the incidence of skin tumors in mice and pancreatic tumors in rats.[20] According to the state of California, mancozeb is a known human carcinogen.[19]
Methomyl Methomyl is a highly toxic, restricted use, broad-spectrum, carbamate insecticide.[21] The insecticide has a myriad of toxicological impacts. In humans, it is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Exposure can cause blurred vision, chest discomfort, lack of muscle coordination, heart irregularities and paralysis of muscles. Additionally, methomyl has high eco-toxicity--it is highly toxic to birds, animals and aquatic organisms.[21]
Oxamyl Highly toxic, cholinesterase inhibiting, carbamate insecticide.[22] Oxamyl poses a grave risk to bird populations.[22] According to EPA, oxamyl can cause tremors, salivation and impaired nerve functioning.[23]
Agricultural Biotechnology
DuPont's current biotechnology crops are insect resistant corn and herbicide resistant soybeans, corn and canola.The company also produces genetically modified animal feed and human food products. [24] There are additional crops in the company's biotechnology pipeline. [24] Since the mid-90s, DuPont has acquired a number of companies concentrating on genetic engineering. When DuPont acquired Pioneer Hi-Bred International, in 1999, the company secured itself a strong position in the biotechnology industry.[25]
Genetically engineered crops pose serious risks to public health and the environment, increase reliance on pesticides, deepen agribusiness control over farmers and undermine food security and sovereignty. Most biotech seeds are licensed to farmers, not sold: making it illegal to replant, save, trade, share or breed them as farmers have done for millennia. Global food security requires access to land, small-scale, ecologically based farming systems and the crop diversity needed to respond to varied and changing environments and growing conditions. Genetically engineered crops, in contrast, are an extension of industrial agricultural practices that concentrate land ownership, rely on synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and other off-farm inputs, and dramatically reduce crop biodiversity.
In Focus: CFCs, HCFCs and Ozone
DuPont developed chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a coolant and aerosol propellant in the 1930's.[8] When a 1974 study revealed that CFCs were a likely cause of ozone depletion, DuPont failed to halt production. Despite mounting evidence of hazards linked to CFC production, DuPont conducted an aggressive campaign to oppose CFC phase-out legislation in the U.S. Senate. [8]
Due to public pressure, the company modified their CFC production, seeking to replace CFCs with a new generation of chemicals called hydrochloroflourocarbons (HCFCs) and hydroflourocarbons (HFCs). These substances persist in the environment and, while to a lesser degree, still deplete atmospheric ozone.[8]
In 1992, under intense public pressure, the company finally announced that it would "stop selling CFC's as soon as possible" in the U.S. and other developed countries, but did not commit to this in developing countries.
In April 1991, EPA estimated that ozone depletion would cause an estimated one billion skin cancers and 17 million deaths worldwide over the next 50 years.[26]
The Environmental Protection Agency took legal action against DuPont over allegations that the giant chemical company failed to report possible health and environmental problems linked to Teflon. EPA sought more than 16 million dollars in fines from DuPont.[27] Teflon, used to make stain and stick-resistant surfaces, contains the highly toxic chemical perfluorochemical (PFC), also known as PFOA and C-8.[27]
EPA classifies PFC as carcinogenic in animals; in rats, it has been linked to testicular, pancreatic, mammary and liver tumors. Furthermore, the chemical has been linked to immune system and reproductive problems. Workers exposed to PFC have elevated cancer risk.[28] According to the Environmental Working Group, PFC is extraordinarily persistent and is commonly found in the blood of human and wildlife around the world. [29] The chemical is found in the blood of 95% of Americans [30] It is also known to cross the placental barrier and contaminate the blood of foetuses. [31]
Though the compound is linked to a growing number of environmental and health hazards, DuPont maintains that PFC does not pose health risks. A spokesman for the company said, "Based on an evaluation of human health and toxicology studies…to date, no human health effects are known to be caused by PFOA [(i.e., PFC)]."[32]. DuPont refuses to eliminate PFOA from its Teflon product but assures the public that it will try to make sure that the chemical is not released into the environment. [30]
DuPont's social and environmental impacts are very broad:
Hazardous wastes In December 2000, DuPont reportedly shared liability for 348 hazardous waste sites and set aside US$408 million for remediation.[33] As of January 2002, EPA named DuPont a potentially responsible party for 19 superfund sites.[34] The DuPont Dow Elastomers L.L.C manufacturing facility in Pontchartrain, LA, ranked among the worst 10% of similar facilities for total toxic releases. The facility releases vast quantities of chemicals that are recognized carcinogens, and developmental and reproductive toxicants.[35]
Lead paint DuPont manufactured lead paint and was named as a defendant in class action lawsuits brought by the state of Rhode Island and the city of Chicago, IL, among others.[36] The company was charged with selling lead-based paints despite knowing the harmful effects of lead, which includes brain damage, especially in children.[37]
Tetraethyl lead For decades, DuPont produced extremely toxic tetraethyl lead as a gasoline additive--intended to improve the efficiency and performance of internal combustion engines. Scientists have condemned the use of leaded gasoline noting that the substance poses "a serious menace to public health," including severe nerve damage, cumulative liver and kidney damage, and extensive hallucinations.[38] In 1924 it became known that 80 percent of the workers who produced tetraethyl lead had either been killed or were suffering acute poisoining. Employees suffered such severe nerve damage and extenisve hallucinations at one refinery that it was dubbed "the House of Butterflies." [39] In spite of the evidence, DuPont vigorously fought to contradict the evidence with a bold public relations and lobbying campaign.[39]
Misbranded pesticides In 1998, DuPont was ordered to pay the largest administrative penalty in EPA history at the time--totaling US$1.89 million--for shipping pesticides without proper safety labels. DuPont sold and distributed Bladex and Extrazine herbicides while omitting required warnings.[40]
To advance their interests, powerhouses like DuPont invest heavily in political and social influence. Some of DuPont's efforts to influence policy and public opinion include:
Trade organizations and think tanks Some of the trade and policy organizations in which DuPont participates include:[8]
- American Chemistry Council (http://www.americanchemistry.com/)
- American Petroleum Institute (http://api-ec.api.org/)
- Biotechnology Industry Organization (http://www.bio.org/)
- British Potato Council (http://www.potato.org.uk/)
- Business Roundtable (http://www.businessroundtable.org/)
- Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology (http://www.ciit.org/)
- CropLife America (http://www.croplifeamerica.org/)
- EuropaBio (http://www.europabio.org/)
- Grocery Manufacturers of America (http://www.gmabrands.com/)
- International Chamber of Commerce (http://www.iccwbo.org/)
- U.S. Council for International Business (http://www.uscib.org/)
- World Business Council for Sustainable Development (http://www.wbcsd.ch/)
- World Economic Forum (http://www.weforum.org/)
Campaign contributions DuPont political action committees (PACs) contributed a total of US$641,914 to federal candidates from 1994 to 2002 (70% to Republicans)— US$128,000 per election cycle.[41] DuPont gave more than US$345,750 in soft money contributions to the Republican and Democratic parties in the 1998, 2000 and 2002 election cycles.[42]
Lobbying In the last 5 years, DuPont has spent almost 19 million dollars lobbying the U.S. government. In 2009 alone, the company invested over four and a half million dollars in this effort. [43] Additionally, many of the trade organizations to which DuPont belongs deploy teams of lobbyists. For example, the American Chemistry Council (formerly the Chemical Manufacturers Association) spent US$4.68 million lobbying in Washington in the first half of 1996 alone.[44]
Government connections [45] Ex-CEO and Chairman of DuPont, Charles Holliday Jr. has served on President Bush's National Infrastructure Advisory Council. Board Member Samuel Bodman served as US Secretary of Energy, and as Deputy Secretary of the Treasury and Deputy Secretary of Commerce. Directoe Robert Brown is a former member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (as was former Director Charles M. Vest.) Director William K. Reilly is a former administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency.
