Today, we tackle the NFC South and AFC South, following up Tuesday's breakdowns of the AFC East and NFC East. The AFC North and NFC North follow Thursday and the AFC West and NFC West conclude things Friday.In the eight-division NFL, the NFC South stands alone as a remarkable testament to the model of parity the league strives so diligently to achieve. Everyone truly has a chance to win every year in the NFC South, where for seven years in a row the last-place team from the year before has made the playoffs the following season, and there has not been a single repeat playoff qualifier yet in the eight-year history of the division (2002-2009).Those trends can't possibly go on forever, and it would seem the defending Super Bowl champion Saints are as good a candidate as anyone to bring some sense of continuity to the NFC South. After all, New Orleans posted the league's largest gap (147 points, or more than nine per game) between a division's highest-scoring team and its second-highest scoring team last season, and it's unlikely to expect that kind of superiority to just vanish. But we've probably made similar assumptions before when it comes to the NFC South, and been proven wrong.What the Saints do best: Pile up the passing yards.New Orleans tied Indianapolis and Minnesota with a league-best 34 touchdown passes last season, and its 69.5 completion percentage dwarfed the league average (60.9). In other words, Drew Brees and Co. can really throw the football, and that's why last year's Saints became just the fifth team of the NFL decade to crack the 500-point barrier in a season (510).And New Orleans spreads the love around on offense. All told, 10 Saints caught touchdown passes from Brees, and 21 Saints scored six points or more. In case you've forgotten, New Orleans scored at least 45 points in four of its first six games, and averaged almost 36 points per game during the course of its 13-0 start. This is a well-balanced attack (passing ranked fourth overall, rushing sixth) that can pick apart even the best defenses with precision.What the Saints need to improve: Consistency on defense.The New Orleans defense feasted on turnovers last season, totaling 39 takeaways (second in the league) and posting the NFL's third-most interceptions (26). They returned five of those picks for touchdowns, which led the league. But rarely does a team repeat that kind of performance in the turnover department, and it's tough to count on the bounce of the ball going the Saints way to that degree in consecutive seasons. That's why New Orleans should be most concerned about a 26th-ranked pass defense that was the statistical weak link on last year's championship club.Granted, the Saints did very well in keeping teams out of the end zone through the air (only 15 touchdown passes allowed). But they still surrendered 235.6 yards per game via the pass, with only three NFC teams giving up more, and allowed a worrisome 6.19 net yards per pass play, worst among all teams qualifying for the playoffs.Which Saint needs to step up: Free safety Malcolm Jenkins.Jenkins, the team's first-round pick in 2009, is going to be asked to fill the sizable shoes of All-Pro free safety Darren Sharper for at least part of the season and maybe the entire year. With Sharper slow to return from offseason microfracture knee surgery, the NFL's 2009 interception co-leader could start the year on the PUP list or conceivably even be released.Jenkins is a collegiate cornerback who has made the transition to safety in the NFL. He has good size, ball instincts and athleticism, but lacks experience at playing centerfield in the Saints defense, where Sharper last season proved pivotal in picking off nine passes and returning three for touchdowns. Expecting Jenkins to flash the same big-play capability that Sharper did is probably unrealistic. New Orleans would probably settle for him keeping most everything in front of him, and making the plays he's supposed to make.Predicted record: 11-5.The Saints have never entered a season in their 43-year franchise history with a more prominent target on their backs, but that comes with the big confetti shower and ownership of the shiny trophy. We should know fairly quickly if any sign of contentment has slipped into the New Orleans locker room, because in the season's first five weeks the Saints will be challenged by two of their playoff opponents -- Minnesota and Arizona -- in addition to division rivals Atlanta and Carolina, and the improved 49ers. I don't see the Saints repeating their entire magic carpet ride of 2009, but they're too good to not become the NFC South's first repeat champion.***What the Falcons do best: Run to set up the pass.Atlanta in 2008 found the perfect back to pound away with in its ball-control, power-running offensive scheme, and Michael Turner responded with a spectacular 1,699-yard rushing season and 17 touchdowns. But Turner the Burner blew a gasket last season, missing five games with a high ankle sprain and producing just 871 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns. He's healthy again, has shed a little excess weight, and looks as fast as he did while carrying the Falcons to a surprise playoff berth two years ago.With maturing quarterback Matt Ryan now entering his third NFL season, Turner won't have to shoulder quite the same load as he did in '08, when he got a whopping 376 rushes and still averaged 4.5 yards a pop. But he's still the engine that drives Atlanta's committed run-first offense, and if Turner is getting the job done, it'll put Ryan and his receivers in some enviable passing situations.What the Falcons need to improve: Pressure the QB.Atlanta finished 28th in pass defense last season, making it the easy culprit to point the finger at. But in the NFL, your pass defense usually has no shot unless your pass rush is working, and Atlanta's 28 sacks tied for 26th overall in 2009. That means the Falcons have to generate some increased heat some way, despite making no key addition to the pass rush this offseason.The best hope is a return to form by defensive end John Abraham, who slipped from 16½ sacks in 2008 to a paltry 5½ last year. But Abraham is entering his 11th NFL season and might be in permanent decline. Kroy Biermann (five sacks) is a high-effort presence at end, and any pressure he provides is more than the disappointing Jamaal Anderson can be counted on to deliver. Another potential upgrade is a healthy Peria Jerry, the 2009 first-round defensive tackle who missed all but two games of his rookie year due to knee surgery.Which Falcon needs to step up: Cornerback Dunta Robinson.The Falcons paid big for the free agent, who the Texans were rather ambivalent about losing. In theory Robinson gives Atlanta a first-tier cover man who will significantly tighten up a pass defense that surrendered 55 gains of 20 or more yards last year, second-worst in the NFC. But Texans fans will tell you that Robinson rarely seemed to get his hands on the ball (seven interceptions in his most recent five seasons) and was burned way too often to deserve elite status.The Falcons believe otherwise, of course, and think the big-play-making opportunities will be there for Robinson in their zone schemes. But Robinson hasn't played yet this preseason due to a hamstring injury and that's got to be making folks in Atlanta nervous, given that he was the team's centerpiece offseason acquisition. The sooner he returns and starts paying dividends in coverage, the better the back of Atlanta's defense will look.Predicted record: 10-6.Having finally rid themselves of that embarrassing streak of not posting consecutive winning seasons in the franchise's first 43 seasons, the Falcons are at least in position to again challenge for an NFC playoff berth. Matt Ryan remains an emerging star at quarterback, and look for him to make a sizable leap in his development after last year's half-step back. The key for Atlanta will be defensive improvement against the pass, and drawing Pittsburgh without Ben Roethlisberger and Arizona without Kurt Warner in the season's opening two weeks sure doesn't hurt.***What the Panthers do best: Split the run load.Only the Jets and the Titans ran the ball more productively than Carolina last year, and you'll get little argument around the league in making the case that the Panthers have the NFL's finest backfield tandem in Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams. The duo became the first in league history to both reach the 1,100-yard plateau in 2009, and at age 23 and 27, respectively, there's still plenty of ceiling room left for the well-matched pairing.Stewart is bigger, stronger and runs with more power than Williams, but both can break tackles and know how to make themselves scarce in the open field. They're going to again be the backbone of this Carolina team, because with a quality offensive line, a thin receiving depth chart, and the relatively unproven Matt Moore installed as the Panthers starting quarterback, it only makes sense to keep running the ball in Charlotte.What the Panthers need to improve: Passing game.It's hard to take Carolina seriously as a playoff threat when the passing game can't find a way to threaten a defense vertically. Other than old reliable Steve Smith -- who simply has to give up his flag football career -- the Panthers have no receiver who remotely scares a defense. Third-round rookie Brandon LaFell has looked promising at times this summer and should factor into the lineup right away. But the Panthers may never make a player out of ex-USC receiver Dwayne Jarrett, and there's just no semblance of balance in the Carolina offense because of the lack of reliable pass-catchers.Which Panther needs to step up: Linebacker Dan Connor.When weakside linebacker Thomas Davis re-tore the ACL in his right knee in June, Carolina made the somewhat risky decision to move star middle linebacker Jon Beason to the weak side, inserting 2008 third-round pick Dan Connor into the middle. After two years of mostly watching and waiting, the ex-Penn State star's time has come. The question is, can he possibly come close to the play-making level of Beason, who roamed from sideline to sideline, finding the ballcarrier?Connor has never started an NFL game, and appeared just 19 times in his first two seasons, mostly on special teams duty. He's a football junkie and the son of a coach, but this is a big step up in responsibility for a player who will now handle the team's defensive checks at the line, and be asked to show the speed and range required of the middle linebacker role. Carolina's defense has been sharp this preseason, but the real test will come when the Panthers open on the road at the Giants' noisy new stadium. Connor will be center stage for the Carolina defense, with any and all growing pains on full display.Predicted record: 7-9.The Panthers are a team forced to play in a state of flux this season, what with nine starters from last year's 8-8 club either released or not re-signed, and head coach John Fox in the unusual situation of working in the final season of his contract. There's some talent on defense and in the running game, but Carolina doesn't have enough depth or impact players to put together anything approaching a playoff run in 2010.***What the Bucs do best: Defend the pass.Maybe it's because everybody loved running against Tampa Bay's 32nd-ranked run defense, but the Bucs pass defense actually finished a very respectable 10th overall last season, surrendering just 207.4 yards per game and intercepting 19 passes. The secondary is led by third-year cornerback Aqib Talib, whose play-making skills sparkle at times (a combined nine interceptions in his first two seasons). He's not the most consistent of cover men just yet, and he's suspended Week 1 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but Tampa Bay sees signs of improvement in his game and believes he's ready for the kind of season that will elevate him into the top tier of young NFL cornerbacks.Tampa Bay's Ronde Barber is anything but young, and he's likely in his final season of a long and distinguished 14-year run with the Bucs. But he still provides valuable veteran leadership, albeit with a role that may decrease this season if rookie third-round pick Myron Lewis can play his way into more than the nickel back assignment.What the Bucs need to improve: Let's start with run defense.Plenty of choices in this category for Raheem Morris's young, rebuilding squad, but Tampa Bay's dead-last run defense was gashed for 158.2 yards per game last year, and that's why the Bucs spent their first two draft picks on defensive tackles Gerald McCoy of Oklahoma and UCLA's Brian Price. In an ideal scenario, McCoy boosts the interior pass rush while corralling ballcarriers left and right, and Price eats up blocks, allowing Tampa Bay's linebackers to flow to the ball.In reality, the rush defense needs more help than just McCoy and Price can give it. The Bucs linebacking and safety play was dreadful at times last season, but the overall defensive performance did improve in the season's final six games, when Morris took over coordinating the unit. The hope is that McCoy and Price are building blocks up front, and everything gets a little more stable with a better foundation in place.Which Buc needs to step up: Middle linebacker Barrett Ruud.Ruud has led the Bucs in tackles for three years running, but Tampa Bay needs more from him this year and he knows it. Ruud made far too many of his 142 tackles too far downfield, his critics say, and some of those critics work on the Bucs coaching staff. He's in the final year of his contract, and Ruud must emerge as more of a difference-maker this season if he's to return to Tampa Bay.The thinking goes that with McCoy and Price now on the job at defensive tackle, Ruud will be freed up to pursue the ball more and not have to fight off the blockers that former Bucs defensive tackles failed to neutralize. Ruud's a key component and one of the few experienced veterans in Tampa Bay's front seven, and if he's consistently in the middle of the action this season, the Bucs defense has a chance to take a major step forward.Predicted record: 6-10.There's at least hope this season in Tampa Bay, because young players like quarterback Josh Freeman, rookie receiver Mike Williams and the aforementioned McCoy and Price have the potential to lift a franchise that hit bottom during the midst of last year's 3-13 finish. But the Bucs' youth movement is far from finished, and we're still in the process of finding out if Morris, 33, and general manager Mark Dominik, 38, have a plan that will produce incremental progress.

Changerby Jane Lindskold
View All Available Formats & Editions
But Arthur has problems of his
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Wild and unpredictable, brother to the sea, older than the creatures that walk the earth or swim in her waters, the Changer delights in countless shapes. When someone attempts to wipe out his family, the Changer discards coyote form and descends from the wilderness to call in a few favors from none other than King Arthur himself.
But Arthur has problems of his own. The Lustrum Review is about to meet and the tenuous accord that holds the athanor community in loose alliance is being challenged. Some of the challengers merely desire to see a few restrictions dropped. Others wish to see the Accord destroyed – and if Arthur and his closest allies are destroyed with it, they would be delighted.
For Arthur, the Changer's arrival, ominous as it may be could also be a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate how the Accord serves even the most ancient among their immortal community. He also hopes that their alliance will serve to anchor this wild one more firmly to his cause.
Yet nothing is ever that simple. Before the Changer takes his revenge, those who have called themselves gods and have been the root of many a heroic legend will find themselves threatened with destruction. The very earth itself will shake. And a coyote pup?sole survivor of the Changer's murdered family?will discover both her weakness and her hidden strength.

The coyote Changer returns from the hunt one evening to find his mate and pups killed by ranchers. But Changer is no ordinary coyote; he is one of the immortal anathor and a shape-shifter. Enraged, he takes human form to seek his vengeance. The trail quickly points to another of the anathor, and so he goes to Arthur Pendragon to register his vendetta. Arthur is the king of the Accord, a government of sorts for the eclectic mix of immortals that make up the anathor: shape-shifters, sorcerers, animals and mythic creatures such as yeti and fauns. Joining forces, Changer and members of Arthur¿s court find that the murder of the coyotes is just one facet of a much larger plot. Changer tries to protect his one remaining coyote pup while digging further into the mystery of who instigated the slaughter of his family. In the meantime, Arthur and his court are beset with their own share of difficulties, including pranksters, assassins, human reporters, and political turmoil. The hidden anathor, the ones that cannot pass for human, are increasingly agitating for the existence of the anathor to become public so that they can live in the open. The threads of trouble are woven together deftly; saving the Accord will stretch Changer, Arthur and the others to the limits of their abilities. The idea that ancient gods, legends and myths were all sourced from individual immortals is interesting and author Jane Linskold does a good job of tying together similar archetypes from several different cultures. Her various incarnations of Arthur Pendragon, the hero king, include King Arthur, Frey of Norse legend, the pharaoh Akhenaton, and Gilgamesh. Linkskold also manages to inject humor into the mix, imagine sasquatches and satyrs chatting over the Internet or the idea that Elvis was also Dionysus. I liked this book a lot. The plot grabbed me immediately and the characters are interesting and complex. Even though the characters are immortal, they are by no means portrayed as perfect which makes them easier to identify with. It was easy to cheer on the good guys in their defense of the Accord. But it was also nice that not everything dealt with in terms of pure black and white. There are several shades-of-grey issues dealt with in the book including the needs of the hidden ones and whether or not the anathor should interfere in various current problems such as the destruction of the rain forests.
I like this book a lot easy reading exciting in places a different concept of shifters. looking to read more of ms lindskold books

K. K. Yeo
ISBN: 978-0-8028-7082-7A new evangelical, global engagement with the person and lordship of Jesus Christ
Though the makeup of the church worldwide has undeniably shifted south and east over the past few decades, very few theological resources have taken account of these changes. Jesus without Borders — the first volume in the emerging Majority World Theology series — begins to remedy that lack, bringing together select theologians and biblical scholars from various parts of the world to discuss the significance of Jesus in their respective contexts.
Offering an excellent glimpse of contemporary global, evangelical dialogue on the person and work of Jesus, this volume epitomizes the best Christian thinking from the Majority World in relation to Western Christian tradition and Scripture. The contributors engage throughout with historic Christian confessions — especially the Creed of Chalcedon — and unpack their continuing relevance for Christian teaching about Jesus today.
China's Reforming Churches:
Mission, Polity, and Ministry in the Next Christendom
Edited by Bruce P. Baugus
Paperback, 352 pages
Page Size: 6 x 9 inches
Retail Price: $20.00
E-book 978-1-60178-318-9
Publisher's Description
China is now home to more evangelical believers than any other nation, and the church continues to grow and make inroads in every level of Chinese society. Such dramatic growth, against the backdrop of modern China, has produced profound and urgent church development needs. As faithful Chinese ministers strive to meet these needs, an increasing number are discovering the rich biblical and theological resources of the Reformed tradition and presbyterian polity.
This is a critical moment in the life of China's reforming churches and the Presbyterian and Reformed mission to China. This book provides both a historical look at presbyterianism in China and an assessment of the current state of affairs, orienting readers to church development needs and the basic outlines of Reformed Christianity in China today. While laying out the challenges and opportunities facing the church, the authors argue that assisting this reformation in China should be a central objective of the presbyterian and Reformed mission to China in this generation.
"Rarely do you encounter a book on China's Christians by scholars who are so distinguished and expert on the topic. Brimming with profound and carefully researched insight into the subject, China's Reforming Churches is the finest work on Christianity in China that I have seen in years. It is also elegantly written and edited. It deserves the widest readership."
—David Aikman, author of Jesus in Beijing: How Christianity Is Transforming China and Changing the Global Balance of Power
"I found this book of essays to be both interesting and informative. If you take seriously your Reformed theology and church polity and care about the church in China, you should read this book."
—Daniel H. Bays, professor emeritus, Calvin College, and author of A New History of Christianity in China
"It is meaningful to remember that the Reformed and Presbyterian mission to China was initiated by American and British missionaries, but it was a Korean missionary who carried the baton as the final runner in that chapter of the China mission. As that last Korean missionary to China, I am gratified that in this book the Korean mission is given a place in the history of the Presbyterian mission in China."
—Pang Chi-Yil, missionary to China from 1937 to 1957 and pastor emeritus, Yongdeungpo Presbyterian Church, Seoul, Korea
"What is the actual state of the church in China? Only the Lord of the church knows for sure. But one thing is certain. We are in the midst of a time when God is at work in an unprecedented way throughout China, gathering His elect to Himself, building and reforming the church there. The editor is to be commended for his vision and efforts in providing us with this book. Its various contributors together offer informative perspectives on current conditions in the Chinese church, both great encouragements and undeniable challenges. This book is an invaluable aid to anyone interested in being better informed about the church in China, not least in being better able to pray more intelligently for the great work God is doing there."
—Richard B. Gaffin Jr., professor of biblical and systematic theology emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

Southwest States Offer Amnesty to Artifact Thieves
In a bid to reclaim stolen Native American artifacts — especially sacred items — officials in Colorado, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico are trying a new tack. They're offering looters amnesty. So far the effort has produced limited success. Mark Brodie of member station KJZZ reports.

West Berkeley: the area around University west of San Pablo.
Notified About
1018 Bancroft Way Berkeley, CA - BerkeleyFor years, AT&T technicians have been leaving their debris behind at over 20 telecommunications terminals (the green boxes) in Berkeley, littering the public easements and the street gutters leading to the Bay. The Mayor, all City Council Members, the City Manager, and AT&T Corporate officials have been aware of this problem for the last 7 months but have failed in their efforts to stop it. Please join your neighbors by sending a clear signal to city hall that we will not tolerate this continued littering in our city. Please also join us on Facebook and Change.org by searching: STOP ATT LITTER
Bicycle sharrows paved over Archived702 Addison Street Berkeley, CA 94710, USA - BerkeleyA nearby construction or utility crew cut and paved over this recently painted sharrow, but neglected to replace it. Please send this crew back to complete the job correctly.
University Av:9th St Berkeley, CA 94710, USA - BerkeleyThe bike lane lines on both sides of 9th St (east and westbound) have been basically worn away all the way from University all the way south to Bancroft. These lines could be re-striped or, better yet, marked with bicycle blvd stencils instead, to match the blocks to the north and south of this stretch.
800-816 Virginia Street Berkeley, CA 94710, USA - Berkeley
Shoppers, cars need to be diverted to turn right at sixth when headed east on Virginia. They sometimes are invited to go straight and continue on bike blvd.
Also, cement trucks and other huge trucks should not be allowed on Fourth with their noise and smoke.
Thank you!
AT&T LITTER IN BERKELEY Archived1108 Bancroft Way Berkeley, CA 94702, USA - BerkeleyAT&T debris found in front of this book in the 1100 Block of Bancroft Way, just east of San Pablo. This is in Darryl Moore's District, who is aware that this is an ongoing problem in his district.

AT&T LITTER IN BERKELEY Archived920-998 Allston Way Berkeley, CA 94710, USA - BerkeleyHere is more debris left by AT&T technicians. This is near Rosa Parks School. Unfortunately, you can only upload one photo, but there was debris on the other side too. Won't take much of a runoff to take this right to the Bay. This is Darryl Moore's District. He is aware this problem exists widespread in his district, but has failed to do anything about it. Is this the example we are setting for impressionable minds when we allow companies to leave their litter near schools, and we then expect our children to pick up after themselves? Call or e-mail Moore and tell him the city needs to take action against AT&T. (510) 981-7120 or email@example.com.

Irish Parties Reach Outline Coalition Agreement
DUBLIN—Coalition talks between Ireland's Fine Gael and Labour parties are at an advanced stage and an outline agreement has already been reached, Irish state broadcaster RTE reported Friday.
Labour is said to have compromised on the timescale for cutting Ireland's budget deficit to 3% of gross domestic product, RTE said.
A Labour Party spokesman told the Wall Street Journal that there were still several issues to be resolved before any coalition deal is completed.
"There are also issues that may need to be put to the party leaders for approval when they return," he said.
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny is in Helsinki at a meeting of the European People's Party, while Labour leader Eamon Gilmore is in Athens at a meeting of European socialist parties.
A spokesman for Fine Gael wouldn't comment on the RTE report, saying talks were still ongoing.
The timeline of the deficit reduction has been a contentious issue between the two parties, with Fine Gael saying it will make the cuts by the end of 2014, while Labour says the deadline should be 2016.
Labour has said that forcing through budget cuts too early could delay an economic recovery in Ireland.
Under the terms of the €67.5 billion ($94.24 billion) bailout deal Ireland struck with the European Union and International Monetary Fund last November, the country has been given until 2015 to reduce its deficit to 3% of gross domestic product.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 21 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by KKlove Cats love it. Morsels could be smaller. Cats love it...eat it up. But I agree with so many reviews that the morsels are too large. If I don't chop each into thirds, the cats leave the bigger chunks behind. April 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fluffernutter HOLY MOLY!! OH MY GOODNESS! My cat LOVES this food!! He will pace and bug me until it is time to eat it and then I can barely squeeze it out of the pouch before he digs in. He has never done this with any other food. I used to feed him Natural Balance in the pate form, but no more! I have given him just about all of the flavors by now and he loves every one of them. March 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by GaiaofSheSpiders Totally emptied pouches ! well, i didn't try them....The Manx brothers Love the Cod mixtures, and eat what i give them. My 6, plus the sweet black fixed (alpha) stray [her upper & lower canines removed] are pretty good with the Turkey formula, but the Cod or Shrimp formulas are favorites. Everyone loves them--and money is REALLY tight, so everyone (including myself)-gets just a little bit. I just cannot understand why they love Natural Balance Pouches, but my 6, the stray & 3 ferals won't Touch the 60z cans of NB. What's that all about. Its Grain-free. January 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Commando A consistant winner! I have two very finicky cats and this brand and particular variety is loved by all. The flavors that are fish seem to be very appealing...it may just be the smelly factor as all of them have heavy fish smell and I can also put medication in the food without any notice of the diners... January 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by delynn fussy feline I have 2 cats - a male who will eat anything and his sister, who is extremely fussy! She only likes certain flavors and she demands a lot of moisture (liquid) in her moist food. I bought a variety of flavors of Natural Balance from my local pet store because of how healthy they looked. But the first morning I put it out on their dishes, I held my breath when Athena sniffed her sampling. Then her head went down and eventually, her whole body relaxed as she cleaned the plate!! There hasn't been a flavor that she doesn't like! I will keep feeding these to both my cats who are 10 & 11. March 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dirtywaterlady very good My cat had diarrhea all the time. The holistic vet said to only give her grain free food. It was like a switch was flipped. This food is just as good as the more expensive grain free food, similar in 3 ounce packs. My cat loves them. July 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by terise One of the best grain free at a great price My 5 year old cat Sammy has been eating Natural Balance pouches for over a year now and he always licks his dish clean. He likes all 8 of the varieties and I usually rotate 4-6 flavors. Love the fact they are grain free, made in the USA, and very convenient packaging. Sammy is 12 lbs and gets 2 pouches a day plus 1/4 cup (or less) of a premium grain free dry kibble. His coat is shiny and soft and I would recommend Natural Balance for even the most finicky eaters. August 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Zzzz My cat wouldn't eat this This food comes in kind of rectangular chunks, it's a strange consistency that I think my cat didn't care for. She's fairly picky so I know this food probably does much better with cats that don't mind that type of consistency - If I knew that's what it was like I wouldn't have tried it. January 20, 2015

|Publishers Weekly
Publishers Weekly (PW) is an American weekly trade news magazine targeted at publishers, librarians, booksellers and literary agents. Published continuously since 1872, it has carried the tagline, "The International News Magazine of Book Publishing and Bookselling". With 51 issues a year, the emphasis today is on book reviews.[3]
The magazine was founded by bibliographer Frederick Leypoldt in the late 1860s, and had various titles until Leypoldt settled on the name The Publishers' Weekly (with an apostrophe) in 1872. The publication was a compilation of information about newly published books, collected from publishers and from other sources by Leypoldt, for an audience of booksellers. By 1876, Publishers Weekly was being read by nine tenths of the booksellers in the country. In 1878, Leypoldt sold The Publishers' Weekly to his friend Richard Rogers Bowker, in order to free up time for his other bibliographic endeavors.[4] Eventually the publication expanded to include features and articles.[5]
Harry Thurston Peck was the first editor-in-chief of The Bookman, which began in 1895. Peck worked on its staff from 1895 to 1906, and in 1895, he created the world's first bestseller list for its pages. In 1912, Publishers Weekly began to publish its own bestseller lists, patterned after the lists in The Bookman. These were not separated into fiction and non-fiction until 1917, when World War I brought an increased interest in non-fiction by the reading public.[5][6]
Through much of the 20th century, Publishers Weekly was guided and developed by Frederic Gershom Melcher (1879–1963), who was editor and co-editor of Publishers' Weekly and chairman of the magazine's publisher, R.R. Bowker, over four decades. Born April 12, 1879, in Malden, Massachusetts, Melcher began at age 16 in Boston's Estes & Lauriat Bookstore, where he developed an interest in children's books.[7] He moved to Indianapolis in 1913 for another bookstore job. In 1918, he read in Publishers' Weekly that the magazine's editorship was vacant. He applied to Richard Rogers Bowker for the job, was hired, and moved with his family to Montclair, New Jersey. He remained with R.R. Bowker for 45 years.[7] While at Publishers Weekly, Melcher began creating space in the publication and a number of issues dedicated solely to books for children.[8] In 1919, he teamed with Franklin K. Mathiews, librarian for the Boy Scouts of America, and Anne Carroll Moore, a librarian at the New York Public Library, to create Children's Book Week.[7] When Bowker died in 1933, Melcher succeeded him as president of the company; he resigned in 1959 to become chairman of the board of directors.[5][9]
In 1943, Publishers Weekly created the Carey-Thomas Award for creative publishing, naming it in honor of Mathew Carey and Isaiah Thomas.[10]
Writers and readers[edit]
In 2008, the magazine's circulation was 25,000. In 2004, the breakdown of those 25,000 readers was given as 6000 publishers; 5500 public libraries and public library systems; 3800 booksellers; 1600 authors and writers; 1500 college and university libraries; 950 print, film and broad media; and 750 literary and rights agents, among others.
Subject areas covered by Publishers Weekly include publishing, bookselling, marketing, merchandising and trade news, along with author interviews and regular columns on rights, people in publishing, and bestsellers. It attempts to serve all involved in the creation, production, marketing and sale of the written word in book, audio, video and electronic formats. The magazine increases the page count considerably for four annual special issues: Spring Adult Announcements, Fall Adult Announcements, Spring Children's Announcements, and Fall Children's Announcements.[3]
Magazines and mergers[edit]
For most of its history, Publishers Weekly, along with the Library Journal-related titles, were owned by founding publisher R. R. Bowker. When Reed Publishing purchased Bowker from Xerox in 1985, it placed Publishers Weekly under the management of its Boston-based Cahners Publishing Company, the trade publishing empire founded by Norman Cahners, which Reed Publishing had purchased in 1977. The merger of Reed with the Netherlands-based Elsevier in 1993 led to many Cahners cutbacks amid takeover turmoil. Nora Rawlinson, who once headed a $4 million book selection budget at the Baltimore County Library System, edited Library Journal for four years before stepping in as editor-in-chief of Publishers Weekly from 1992 to 2005.
Sara Nelson era[edit]
Beginning January 24, 2005, the magazine came under the direction of a new editor-in-chief, veteran book reviewer Sara Nelson, known for her publishing columns in the New York Post and The New York Observer.[11] A senior contributing editor for Glamour, in addition to editorial positions at Self, Inside.com, and Book Publishing Report, she had gained attention and favorable reviews as the author of So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading (Putnam, 2003), in which she stirred a year's worth of reading into a memoir mix of her personal experiences after a New Year's resolution to read a book each week.[12]
Nelson began to modernize Publishers Weekly with new features and a makeover by illustrator and graphic designer Jean-Claude Suares. The many alterations included added color (with drop shadows behind color book covers), Nelson's own weekly editorial, illustrated bestseller lists, and "Signature",[13] longer boxed reviews written by well-known novelists. The switch to a simple abbreviated logo of initials effectively changed the name of the magazine to PW, the name long used for the magazine within the book industry.[3]
She also introduced the magazine's Quill Awards, with nominees in 19 categories selected by a nominating board of 6,000 booksellers and librarians. Winners were determined by the reading public, who could vote at kiosks in Borders stores or online at the Quills site. Reed Business dropped the Quill Awards in 2008.[14]
In the past, the front covers of Publishers Weekly were used to display advertisements by book publishers, and this policy was changed to some degree in 2005. Although new PW covers now feature illustrations and photographs tied to interior articles, these covers are often hidden behind a front cover foldout advertisement. The visual motif of each cover is sometimes repeated on the contents page.[3]
The Nelson years were marked by turbulence within the industry as well as a continuing trend away from serious writing and towards pop culture. Publishers Weekly had enjoyed a near monopoly over the past decades, but it was getting vigorous competition from Internet sites, e-mail newsletters, and daily newspapers.[15] The industry was consolidating. Many independent booksellers, who had been bread–and–butter clients of Publishers Weekly, were going out of business.[15] Paid circulation dropped by 3,000 to 25,000 in the mid-2000s,[15] Nelson pushed for significant changes towards modernization, greater use of the Web, and more focus on analytical reporting, but she was contending with economic forces working against the book buying market,[15] problems she addressed in a 2005 interview:
|The distinction between a trade publication and a general-interest or consumer magazine is becoming ever more blurred... The magazine might not be for everybody who buys books... But I do think there is a good size civilian population that is fascinated by books and the book business. Find a group of three people, and two of them want to be writers or have a book idea. Everyone I know belongs to a book group. There is a crossover population that we should be able to add to the mix without sacrificing our appeal to people in the book business.[15]
Advertising downturn and sale[edit]
In 2008, faced with a decline in advertising support, Reed's management sought a new direction. In January 2009, Sara Nelson was dismissed along with executive editor Daisy Maryles, who had been with PW for more than four decades. Stepping in as editorial director was Brian Kenney, editorial director of School Library Journal and Library Journal.[3] The dismissals, which sent shockwaves through the industry, were widely covered in newspapers.[16]
In April 2010, George W. Slowik Jr., a former publisher of the magazine, purchased Publishers Weekly from Reed Business Information, under the company PWxyz, LLC. Cevin Bryerman remained as publisher along with co-editors Jim Milliot and Michael Coffey.[3]
On September 22, 2011, PW began a series of weekly podcasts: "Beyond the Book: PW's Week Ahead".[17]
PW maintains an online archive of past book reviews from January 1991 to the present.[18] The earliest articles posted in PW's online archive date back to November 1995. A redesigned website was unveiled on May 10, 2010.[3]

Adam is a very friendly & helpful guy. The rooms are simple but clean. You will be offered dinner at his place which was in our case a simple meal with soup as starter and an apple & orange as desert which was a little pricey as we though as there are plenty cheaper alternatives in Pamukkale to choose from (hence the value for money rating).

Wow. That's all I have to say. Aspawa is only a 5 minute walk from the travertines. Our room was comfortable, clean and secure, but BY FAR the best part about Aspawa was Adam and his wife, who might very well be the sweetest people I've ever met. Adam offered us hot tea at check in and postcards at check out, and the home-cooked dinner his wife made was affordable and ABSOLUTELY delicious.

The focal point of the D.C. area's travel week will be the winter storm forecast to develop Tuesday evening through Wednesday. Check the Capital Weather Gang doing frequent updates on its forecast. You can also follow the gang on Twitter @capitalweather. It's using the hashtag #snowquester for the storm.
The Capitals are home at Verizon Center on Tuesday and Thursday nights.The Wizards are away till Saturday night. D.C. United is back at RFK Stadium on Saturday night.
The week's roadwork schedule is light, but even that may get thrown off by the mid-week storm. Here are some of the highlights for both the roadwork and the Metrorail construction plans.
Join me at noon Monday for our weekly online discussion about traffic and transit issues in the D.C. region.
Metro late-night work
Metrorail riders may encounter delays on these line segments after 10 p.m. through Thursday.
Red Line: Delays of about 10 minutes between Rhode Island Avenue and Takoma.
Orange and Blue Lines: Delays of about 10 minutes between Stadium-Armory and Eastern Market.
Green and Yellow Lines: Delays of about five minutes between Mount Vernon Square and L'Enfant Plaza.
Beltway/Telegraph Road
Watch for single-lane closings in both directions on Telegraph Road between Duke Street and East Drive at midday Monday through Friday. This is part of the Wilson Bridge project's final stage, the reconstruction of Telegraph Road at the Capital Beltway. It's scheduled to be done by late spring.
Dulles Metrorail construction
The eastbound lanes of the Dulles Access Highway are scheduled to close overnights through Wednesday, starting at midnight each night from Centreville Road (Route 657) to the merger with the Dulles Toll Road just past the main toll plaza. The closing will clear room for removal of construction equipment for Metro's Silver Line, scheduled to open late this year.
During the closings, traffic will be detoured from the eastbound Access Highway onto the eastbound Dulles Toll Road at Centreville Road. Drivers will use the Toll Road the rest of the way to the Capital Beltway and will have to pay the toll at the toll plaza.
Using 495 Express Lanes
Drivers continue to puzzle over when it might be worth their while to use the express lanes. They can get one more clue by checking the express lanes' Web site, www.495expresslanes.com. The map that is part of the site's "On the Road Now" page indicates traffic speeds in the lanes in the green, yellow, red color code familiar to users of online maps.
That at-a-glance information was unavailable for a while after the new lanes opened in November, because it was difficult for the lane sensors to translate speed readings into the color-code system. That problem has been overcome, said Pierce Coffee, an official with Transurban, operator of the lanes.
That's a help, but there's still no one place to look for all the information a driver might need to plan a Beltway trip before leaving home or office. Even when information about speeds in the regular lanes and the express lanes is available in one spot, it's unclear how many drivers would look.
Our transportation network pushes out lots of information, but many commuters just get in their cars and go, rather than check conditions.
I-395/Edsall Road
Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays for about a month, crews working on the 95 Express Lanes project will drive concrete pile foundations for a new flyover bridge from the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to the regular lanes of Interstate 395 North. The construction, in the median just north of Edsall Road (Route 648) should have no effect on the travel lanes.
When the flyover foundation is finished, construction will progress to the right side of I-395 North off the roadway. The new flyover ramp will carry northbound traffic during the mornings from the 95 Express Lanes to the regular lanes or to the Duke Street (Route 236) exit. This work is scheduled to continue into late spring. The express lanes project is scheduled to be done in 2014.
I-270 guardrail
Watch for northbound lane closings on Interstate 270 between Routes 118 and 117 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and southbound lane closings in the same area between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. through Wednesday. The Maryland State Highway Administration is working on the guardrails.
L'Enfant Plaza elevators
Metro is modernizing three of the four elevators at the busy L'Enfant Plaza station. The ones shut down connect the street to the station mezzanine, the mezzanine to the Green/Yellow Line platform for trains toward Branch Avenue and Huntington, and the mezzanine to the Greenbelt side of the platform.
That leaves the elevator between the Blue/Orange Line platform and the northbound Green/Yellow Line platform.
Metro figures that by working on the three at the same time, it can shorten the project. The elevators should be back in service around the end of May. Meanwhile, some riders who need the elevators may find it easier to use the Metro Center and Gallery Place transfer stations.
Pentagon escalators
Metro is replacing three of the six escalators at the entrance to the Pentagon station. The ones being replaced are on the left side as riders exit the station.
The other set of three will remain open during the project, as will the elevator. All the work is scheduled to be done this fall.
The project is similar to the replacements that occurred at the Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle stations. It's more than the familiar tear up during one of the escalator modernization projects. Workers must haul out the old structures and bring in new ones.
Metrobus meetings
The transit authority has scheduled two public meetings for this week to discuss possible improvements to service on Routes 4A,B,E,H (the Pershing Drive-Arlington Boulevard Line). Each is scheduled to begin at 5:30 and continue till 7:30 p.m. Here are the locations.
- Wednesday: Arlington Temple United Methodist Church, 1835 N. Nash St., Arlington.
- Thursday: Arlington Assembly of God Church, 4501 N. Pershing Drive, Arlington.

1998 Toyota Avalon XLS 4dr Sedan
I purchased my 98 Avalon in July of 2014 for $400 at the dealership I worked at. When I bought it, it had 178,000 miles exactly. It had some minor problems such as it needed tires, brakes, a tie rod, and a fog light bulb. I did a oil change the day I bought it, got tires 2 months later. Eventually the brakes started to grind so I replaced those to. I am a teenager and I have a heavy foot, and this car was very responsive. I would race my friends who had newer cars and this car never failed to let me down. It was my baby honestly and I even named it Snow White LOL! I sadly got into a accident with it in January and it was totaled with 191,348 miles. I cant wait till I can get another Avalon.
Sunroof, V6 engine, comfortable leather interior, body styling, Just the car itself is amazing.
I have no complaints what so ever, this car was perfect and would be perfect for a family or a first car.
im 17 years old.This car is my first car last year. its like that first practice car that u usually bang up. well i havent hit anything yetbut my god is this car reliable. we bought it when it back in 2003 with 116k on it in PERFECT condition.now its kinda of banged up, radio buttons falling off, etc, but it just WONT DIE. my mom drove it 160 miles a day at one point, and i drive it about 40-50 as of now(and i dont drive it nicely), its close to 220k. im getting an acura tl, but if it wasnt for the cars body falling apart and the [violative content deleted] acceleration,id be sad about this departure. im just mad at my parents because they said were gonna sell after the time belt wears out :(
black leather seats
more bass in radio, better physical build quality
I purchased my 98 Avalon XLS in 2003 with 150,000 miles on it.At about 180k miles I changed the front two 02 sensors.At 220k miles I changed the timing belt (first time), water pump, struts and ball joints. Other than these items Ive only had to do standard fluid changes, tires and brakes.About 2 years ago, I came too close to a guard rail and scraped the right side of the car.Because the car had 340k miles on it at the time, I chose not to spend the 600 to repair the damage.The car now just broke though 400k and while it doesnt look as good as when I bought it, it still runs perfectly and zero operational issues.I have my eye on a new car, but my wife will not let me pull t
Reliability, roominess, gas mileage, acceleration.
Front seats could be a little deeper.
Road noise is a little higher than other cars in it's class.
It's not the best looking car.
This road warrior has been in my family since new. My father put the first 150,000 miles on the car without any needed repairs except routine wear and tear parts (i.e. Brakes, tires, battery, oil). Now the odometer reads 250,000 miles and I just had the original timing belt and water pump replaced because it was LONG overdue. In the 12 years and 250,000 my family has put on our Avalon (a.k.a "Road Warrior") it has never, not even one time, left us stranded or failed to start, not once!! With the long history that I have with my Avalon I feel more than qualified to speak on the behalf of my car, and I fully endorse this car without reservation! If you have the opportunity to buy one, do!
Return on investment! (250,000 almost maintenance free miles), smooth ride even with 250,000 on original struts and bushings, comfortable seats and legroom (i am 6'8" and i fit great) 29 MPG freeway with plenty of passing power! A/C ice cold even when 100' outside(colder then my dads 07 Cadillac)
My car has 250,000 miles on it, it runs and drives like new!I would feel more confident driving it across the country than my dads 07 Cadillac with 40,000 miles on it. The only negative thing I could say is it goes through brake pads fast, since i started driving it anyway. My dad misses his Avalon!
Picked up the 98' Avalon only a few months ago, came with 150,000 km on it, I put on about 10,000 km. Still works perfectly. Absolutely no problems. Only complaint is that my old car was a '92 Camry, it was a cute little car, but it was fun to drive. This one seems a little stiff. Pretty good on gas I guess, I am getting about 23 Mpg city. And the car doesn't have that outdated look to it. The rear looks really modern, love the sunroof, and the headlight cleaners is the cherry on top. Never selling.
The amount of ashtrays, headlight washers, leather seats, sunroof, power seats, and amazing AC.
Cup holders for the back seats, and easier way to program keyless entry, less stiff steering. Other than that, amazing car.

Forbes billionaires' list: Bill Gates richest man in world ( AGAIN ) ---> Revenge of da Nerd <---
Poster Handle
What's Happening
Post Content
6:01 PM EDT, March 11, 2009
link to www.newsday.com
Bill Gates and Mayor Michael Bloomberg were once again high on the Forbes' 2009 list of the World's Billionaires, with Gates at #1 and Bloomberg at #17.
The world has 332 fewer billionaires now than a year ago, according to Forbes magazine. Just as heartbreaking: The world's richest people aren't as rich as they were a year ago.
But if you were worried about Bill Gates -- relax; the chairman of software behemoth Microsoft Corp. has regained the title of world's richest man -- worth $40 billion, although Forbes says he lost $18 billion last year.
And New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was the only billionaire among the top 20 whose net worth rose during the past year.
But Warren Buffett slipped to second place, after losing $25 billion in the past year due to the decline in value of Berkshire Hathaway stock.
Forbes annual snapshot of the world's wealth found the total number of billionaires fell to 793 from 1,125. Forbes said this marks the first time since 2003 that the number dropped from one year to the next.
Even among those who have managed to remain billionaires, there's been a vast decrease in wealth, the magazine said; the total net worth of this year's list is $2.4 trillion, down $2 trillion from $4.4 trillion last year.
The average billionaire is now worth $3 billion, down from $3.9 billion in 2008.
