Today there is an emerging two China question centering on the future of the country and whether China is best understood as a strong country, one with a promising future despite some short-term difficulties, or whether China's troubles are structural, with the result that it is in real trouble and its future in some doubt. In short, two very different Chinas.

A study finds Kansas is fourth in the nation in the rate of black homicides. The study came from nonprofit Violence Policy Center in
Washington D.C., which supports gun-control efforts.
The study found that there were about 32 homicides per 100,000 black Kansas residents in 2006. Pennsylvania was first, followed by Michigan and Indiana. The report analyzed the most recent data available from the FBI.
Kansas didn't make the top five in the previous two studies. Co-author and Violence Policy Center Executive Director Josh Sugarmann says the results show that the role of guns in black homicides must be addressed.

Jerry Muller: Capitalism and the Jews
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
8:30pm @ Central Library
Jerry Muller discusses his new book Capitalism and the Jews, a collection of four essays examining the historical relationship between capitalism and the Jewish people, on Tuesday, May 4, at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
Muller will explain why the Jewish experience with capitalism has been so important and complex, as well as ambivalent.
Drawing on economic, social, political, and intellectual history from medieval Europe through contemporary America and Israel, Capitalism and the Jews examines the ways in which thinking about capitalism and thinking about the Jews have gone hand in hand and why anti-capitalism and anti-Semitism have frequently been linked.
Copies of Capitalism and the Jews will be available for sale, and Muller will sign copies purchased during the event.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the events. Click here or call 816.701.3407 to RSVP. Free parking is available in the Library District parking garage at 10th & Baltimore.

There is no such thing as a normal day when you're the guy responsible for managing database and storage services at a major federal agency.
So says Dan Houston, who oversees 3,300 databases, 400 applications and all 22 petabytes (and counting) of data collected by the U.S. Postal Service, mainly from its public-facing website and mail-tracking system.
Whether he is implementing the latest version of Oracle on hundreds of systems or supporting new business projects for customers, Houston faces new challenges almost daily. And with USPS' precarious financial situation, data and IT have never been more important to the agency's mission.
In terms of size and scope, few organizations in the world rival USPS' IT infrastructure, and Houston handles the data at the heart of it.
"With an environment that size, you don't have average days," he said. "It's a new challenge every day."
A self-professed data junkie, Houston designed and developed the USPS DMS Operation System, which features detailed configuration management of databases and storage, automatic deployment and monitoring of database administration and service management functions, on-demand performance reports and diagnostics, and encrypted administrator password management for more than 1,800 databases.
Read about all of the winners
With the system, it takes only three employees to manage those databases during off-business hours and 12 employees to handle the 22 petabytes of multiplatform storage technology. That saves USPS 40,000 man-hours annually while delivering database and storage services at 99.999 percent availability.
Houston "is a guy we want to keep around," said John Edgar, vice president of IT at USPS. "He is tremendous at analyzing problems and figuring out technical solutions to what is going on, and he communicates well."
Houston plans to pursue an advanced degree as a data scientist and would like to see USPS further its data analytics initiatives.
"We're good at using data to tell us what happened," he said. "But we're not quite to the point of having the data tell us what [will happen] tomorrow."

Hundreds of thousands at risk of blindness from diabetes
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- October 09, 2013
Tens of thousands of Australians are going blind as a result of the nation's fastest growing disease - diabetes.
And most are failing to take regular eye tests that could prevent it.
A new report finds 60 per cent of people with Type 2 diabetes will develop eye disease within 20 years of their diagnosis and it will affect all people with Type 1 diabetes.
The Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute report finds people with diabetes have a 25 times greater risk of blindness than the general population.
In the last ten years 10,000 Australians went blind as a result of diabetes and another 300,000 have diabetic retinopathy which makes it difficult to read and watch television.
Around one million Australians have been diagnosed with diabetes and another 700,000 are believed to have the disease but do not know it.
"With the number of Australians affected by diabetes expected to double in the next decade … diabetic eye disease is creating significant personal, public health and economic challenges," Associate Professor Jonathan Shaw from the Baker IDI Institute said.
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when the tiny blood vessels inside the retina at the back of the eye are damaged as a result of diabetes.
It can have a devastating impact on those affected, robbing victims of their independence, preventing them from reading, socialising and driving.
The Centre for Eye Research (CERA) in Australia says currently 50 per cent of people with diabetes are not having regular biannual eye checks to test for retinopathy.
"Australia lacks a nationwide diabetic eye screening system, even though such systems have been successfully implemented in other countries with significant improvements in outcomes for those with diabetic retinopathy," Dr Mohamed Dirani from CERA said.
Diabetic retinopathy may have no early symptoms and it worsens over time and can lead to irreversible blindness.
Vision loss can be prevented by regular eye checks and medical treatment.
Tania Withers from Melbourne says she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 11 and struggled to manage her condition during her teenage years.
"At 23 my eyesight started deteriorating and I was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy," she says.
"I felt so guilty because I had not attended regular eye examinations, despite being warned by doctors and diabetes educators," she said.
Within three months of her diagnosis she was totally blind and new relies on a guide dog.
Diabetes Australia revealed earlier this year that the lack of a national strategy to deal with the disease meant 20,000 people also had their limbs amputated in the last decade.
Another 80,000 diabetes patients had heart attacks, 40,000 had strokes and 25,000 were suffering kidney failure and needed dialysis.

The Department of Defense has announced that 3,000 soldiers from Fort Carson will be rotated to Afghanistan this spring. 1,200 other soldiers from two other units are also included in the plan.
Fort Carson previously announced that 3,000 soldiers of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division would be going to Afghanistan. A color-casing ceremony was held in anticipation of that departure. The 4th BCT will be tasked with training and developing Afghan security forces during the nine-month deployment.
The DOD's announcement clarified that 500 soldiers from the V Corps Headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany and 700 from the 1st Infantry Division Headquarters in Fort Riley, Kansas will also be included.
In addition, Fort Carson has confirmed that soldiers of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team will be included in a newly announced plan for shifting from a combat mission in Afghanistan to one focused on training and advising. The Army has identified five brigades, as well as an Army reserve organization, that will be reconfigured and sent to Afghanistan between April and August.
Those brigades will be sent with fewer than half its assigned number of soldiers and will comprise only officers and senior non-commissioned officers, along with a contingent of Defense Department civilians. Once in Afghanistan they will operate in 18-person teams in a train-and-advise role.
The other brigades are based in Kentucky, Georgia, Texas and Louisiana.

McKelvin fares well at safetyPosted by on November 10, 2015 – 8:51 am
He hadn't played in a regular season game in almost a calendar year, then five days before his return to the field he was asked to line up at a different position, Leodis McKelvin took the assignment of playing safety last Sunday and ran with it. He and head coach Rex Ryan both reviewed the game film for a full assessment as to how McKelvin fared in the new role.
"I think first off the Buffalo Bills fans are very familiar with Leodis and the kind of heart and passion he plays with. It was just great to see it first hand," said Ryan. "He made a phenomenal play on that swing pass. He was thrown in there playing out of position. He had never played safety. I don't know the last time he had played safety. He just did a great job for us. This dude loves to play as you guys know. It was just a great opportunity to witness it and I thought he played well."
McKelvin didn't deny that there are some areas of his execution that could use some improvement, but after not playing for a year he thought things went relatively well.
"I played pretty good," he said. "There were some things I can get better at as far as putting myself in better position or being in the middle of the field and reading the quarterback. Overall it was a good job and a good showing."
Ryan is wholly familiar with the challenge of moving from corner to safety having done it with other players in the past, but he obviously felt McKelvin was capable of handling it. Counting McKelvin, Buffalo has three cornerbacks who have transitioned to safety in Aaron Williams and Corey Graham.
"It's not an easy transition. It really isn't," said Ryan. "Number one you've got to physical and you've got to be tough. It's different and you've got to be smart and all those guys possess those qualities."

Bills see unbeaten team as measuring stickPosted by on October 18, 2015 – 11:12 am
It's a team that is rolling right now. The Cincinnati Bengals are one of five remaining unbeatens in the NFL heading into Week 6. The Bills know if they can hang with this team it'll say a lot about their fortunes for the 2015 season.
"It's a big game for us. They're hot, they're playing well. They've been where we want to get," said Richie Incognito. "They've been to the playoffs the last four years and it's a good measuring stick for us to see exactly where we're at because we gutted one out in Tennessee. We didn't play as well as we wanted to play, we got the win. So coming in and playing a hot team like this that is rolling on offense and has a very sound defense, it's a good test for us."
Safety Corey Graham is actually happy that the Bengals kept their unbeaten record intact last week when they came back from 17 down in the fourth quarter to beat the Seahawks in Seattle 27-24.
"It's good. I'm kind of happy that they won in Seattle and found a way to get a victory against Seattle," Graham said. "To have an opportunity to go out there, especially as a defense and play against an offense that's undefeated and a team that's undefeated with an offense that's playing well. That's big for us."

Bengals Eifert a headache in the red zonePosted by on October 18, 2015 – 10:15 am
The Cincinnati Bengals offense has taken off this season and many credit TE Tyler Eifert for being the piece that has put the unit over the top. Opposing defenses can no longer focus their attention on WR A.J. Green and just roll a safety over the top. They now need to account for Eifert, who has been carving up defenses in the middle of the field and the red zone.
Eifert has five touchdowns in five games, including two last week as Cincinnati overcame a 17-point fourth quarter deficit on the road at Seattle to win in overtime. The tight end makes catches in traffic and fights for the ball. He's also someone Andy Dalton looks for in the red zone.
"He's doing well. I saw the game from last week," said Corey Graham. "He did really well last week. He's running a lot of seam routes. He's catching the ball well. He's catching tough balls. He had some times where they were contested and he found a way to bring it down. Obviously as a quarterback when you've got more than one threat it helps you and Andy is getting the ball around to all his guys and they're making plays for him."
Eifert is a big reason why the Bengals are second in total red zone conversions with 16 touchdowns in five games.

Graham moves into top 10 among safetiesPosted by on October 12, 2015 – 12:35 pm
Bills S Corey Graham was the team's leading tackler in Sunday's win over Tennessee with 10. Graham had a tackle for loss, which is easier said than done for a safety. He also had a pair of special teams tackles to tie for the team lead Sunday. His performance has moved him into the top 10 among NFL safeties in Pro Football Focus' tracking of week by week play in 2015.
Graham ranks 10th in the league among safeties when it comes to performance this season. He ranks fourth in tackles among safeties and is one of a handful safeties who has yet to miss a tackle according to PFF.
The veteran safety was instrumental in preventing intermediate gains by the Titans passing attack from turning into big plays. Tennessee had just two plays over 20 yards in the entire game. One covered 23 and the other 22 yards. Graham had the stops on both of those plays.

McCoy questionable, Harvin, Graham probablePosted by on September 18, 2015 – 1:17 pm
The Bills got good news concerning Corey Graham's status for Sunday's game as he and Percy Harvin are probable for the game against the Patriots. LeSean McCoy however, is not as sure a bet for Sunday.
McCoy was limited for a second straight day of practice due to some hamstring tightness and soreness per head coach Rex Ryan. When asked what he thinks about McCoy's chances he stuck to his familiar refrain.
"I'm cautiously optimistic that he'll be able to play," Ryan said.
McCoy had a good bit of work last week as he was on the field for 71 percent of the offensive plays and had 20 touches in the game. He has admitted he's not in game shape yet since he missed the last three preseason games with the hamstring injury.

Corey Graham, Percy Harvin updatesPosted by on September 16, 2015 – 2:07 pm
S Corey Graham was a limited participant in practice Wednesday. Here's how he thought things went.
"Feeling good," Graham said. "Obviously, it's been a few days now, I'm feeling better. Getting better and better every day. Just going through the concussion protocol and everything like that is really the main ting, but I feel good."
When asked if he sees himself playing Sunday he answered in the affirmative, but realizes it's not up to him.
"I definitely see myself playing, but I don't know," Graham said. "You know how it goes with the NFL protocol, you have to go through all these different steps and things like that. But so far everything has been very good, I just got to continue to work and continue to do things."
Not participating in practice were WR Percy Harvin (hip), WR Marquise Goodwin (ribs) and LB Tony Steward (knee).

Graham may contact CB turned S WoodsonPosted by on May 28, 2015 – 11:48 am
As we covered on Buffalobills.com, veteran DB Corey Graham will be lining up at safety throughout the 10 OTA sessions this spring in an effort to be ready to play safety if the defensive staff determines that's where he can help the team the most. It may help that Graham's favorite player as a young up and comer himself is Oakland S Charles Woodson, a player who made the corner to safety transition a successful one.
Woodson transitioned to the safety position in 2012 after 14 seasons at cornerback. He'll be playing his 18th NFL season this fall with Oakland, his fourth at safety. Graham calls Woodson his favorite all-time player and has met him a couple of times, but did not have the courage to really bend his ear. Now as he undertakes the task of learning to play the safety position, he admits that a phone call to Woodson might not be a bad idea.
"I've only talked to him like two times in my life," said Graham of Woodson. "I was at the Pro Bowl and his locker was right next to mine and I still I'm just that type of person that didn't want to open up to him. He's my favorite player and I didn't even say too much to him other than little talk. It would be interesting to try to talk to him and pick his brain a little bit."

4 Bills make PFF all division teamPosted by on January 24, 2015 – 10:01 am
The film reviewers and stat crunchers at Pro Football Focus released their All Diviaion teams for the 2014 season. Four Bills made the squad. Two were expected, two others may have been a bit more under the radar.
Buffalo's Mario Williams and Marcell Dareus both were named to the defensive line and Corey Graham and Dan Carpenter were the other two Bills honorees. Here's what they wrote about Buffalo's players and the seasons they had.
Edge Defenders: Cameron Wake (MIA) and Mario Williams (BUF)
Just another season for Wake who continues to be one of the premier edge pass rushers in the entire league. Williams benefitted by Buffalo switching back to a 4-3 and allowing him to play with his hand on the ground once again. He clearly still has a knack for getting to the quarterback, but his play in run defense was arguably the best of his career.
Defensive Interior – Nose: Marcell Dareus (BUF)
Dareus continues to improve and has become more consistent on a week-to-week basis. His 10 sacks received the most attention, but his work in run defense is where he really flourished.
Cornerbacks: Darrelle Revis (NE), Corey Graham (BUF)
Unsurprisingly, Revis was again one of the best cornerbacks in football in his first year with the Patriots, making the PFF All-Pro team. Graham wasn't even getting significant playing time in some games over the first half of the season, but he was easily the best in coverage for the Bills' secondary. Opposing quarterbacks had a 57.0 QB Rating when targeting Graham, fifth-lowest among corners and only behind the likes of All-Pros Vontae Davis, Chris Harris Jr., and Richard Sherman.
Slot Cornerback: Kyle Arrington (NE)
Arrington shared duties in the slot, but was one of the best in the division. He allowed a reception once for every 12.6 snaps in coverage, the second-best rate in the division (Revis).
Kicker: Dan Carpenter (BUF)
Carpenter did not handle kickoff duties this year, but his work on field goals alone was enough to claim the spot. He hit on 34 of 38 field goals, including 6-of-8 from 50 and beyond.

Big 3rd down play eats at GrahamPosted by on December 22, 2014 – 2:57 am
The Bills had the Raiders in a 3rd-and-22 situation down by two points with five minutes to play. The offense had just finished a seven-play, 83-yard drive going with an up tempo, no huddle approach that was working. If the defense could get off the field, the offense needed only a field goal to take the lead on the scoreboard. It didn't happen and it left veteran CB Corey Graham pointing at himself.
Derek Carr with no one open downfield initially left the pocket and moved to his right and uncorked a deep throw downfield for the tall and lanky Andre Holmes. Graham was right with him along the Bills sideline, but somehow Holmes wrestled the ball away from Graham to make a 51-yard reception at the Buffalo 30-yard line.
"It's a big play. The ball was just thrown up for grabs, he just threw it up. If I could do it over, I would go for a pass breakup," Graham said. "Instead I went for an interception and misjudged it, so it is on me. I think we did enough to win the game, if you take away that play. There were a lot of plays that didn't go our way out there today. I'm not going to say one play (lost the game), but that was a big one.
"If I make that play, they punt the ball, we're down two and we're got an opportunity to win the game. I put it on my shoulders. It's unfortunate that we couldn't hold them and we couldn't find a way to get a victory."

3 Bills get PFF Pro Bowl recognitionPosted by on December 17, 2014 – 10:37 am
They weren't named to their starting Pro Bowl positions, but Pro Football Focus named three Bills players as reserves on their Pro Bowl roster.
Nigel Bradham, Corey Graham and Marcell Dareus all earned reserve Pro Bowl spots on the PFF all-star roster. Here was their assessment of the Bills' trio at their respective positions.
Defensive Tackle
Starters: Aaron Donald (SL), Gerald McCoy (TB), Sheldon Richardson (NYJ) and Fletcher Cox (PHI)
Reserves: Ndamukong Suh (DET), Muhammad Wilkerson (NYJ), Calais Campbell (ARZ) and Marcell Dareus (BUF)
Breakdown: Again we've taken some of the guys balloted as defensive ends and slotted them here, given how they're used as interior defenders. No big surprises — all of these guys make enough plays that it would be harder not to notice them.
Outside Linebacker
Starters: DeAndre Levy (DET) and Brandon Marshall (DEN)
Reserves: Thomas Davis (CAR) and Nigel Bradham (BUF)
Breakdown: Again we've changed things around so we're looking at those traditional 4-3 outside linebackers. Levy was an easy pick with a superb season as the Detroit defense dominated. Marshall has rightly got plenty of credit with a breakout year.
Starters: Chris Harris Jr. (DEN), Vontae Davis (IND), Darrelle Revis (NE) and Richard Sherman (SEA)
Reserves: Orlando Scandrick (DAL), Sean Smith (KC), Desmond Trufant (ATL) and Corey Graham (BUF)
Breakdown: One of the more controversial positions. Harris and Davis have had wonderful years, while Revis and Sherman have in different ways dominated against quality opposition. The more up-and-down nature of years by others left room for players in smaller markets (Graham) to make quite the impression and get backup duties.

Graham: We've set the standard nowPosted by on December 15, 2014 – 8:52 am
The Bills defense has played well all season long, but over the last two weeks holding both Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers without touchdown passes and picking off four passes has been downright unthinkable. We cover Buffalo's defensive prowess in depth in our feature story on Buffalobills.com. But veteran CB Corey Graham, who always believed this kind of play on their side of the ball was possible now says they've set a standard they have to meet every week moving forward.
"We have to obviously continue to play like that but once we do that, now the mark is set," said Graham. "Now you got to expect that every week from everybody and that's what we got to do. We've got to make sure we're locked in and ready to go every week."

Bills end Manning streakPosted by on December 8, 2014 – 1:45 pm
Buffalo's defense had a solid performance Sunday holding a team that normally scores 35 points per game at home to 11 points below that average. They also brought an end to a consecutive games streak held by Peyton Manning.
Manning had thrown at least one touchdown pass in 51 straight games, but that streak came to an end Sunday as all three Denver touchdowns were scored on the ground by C.J. Anderson.
Manning shrugged off the end of the streak.
"I guess the touchdown streak, the consecutive games? That is something that—I've broken a lot of records and set a lot of records due to playing for a long time and playing well at times, but it's never been something that I've been about," said Manning. "So I don't need to break or set another record. It was important to get a win. [RB] C.J. [Anderson] did a good job down there in the red zone, getting in there on those runs. Those are hard earned runs down there. It was good to improve our red zone."
Corey Graham was glad they held Manning without a TD pass, but would've preferred they kept the Broncos out of the end zone altogether.
"It's good," said Corey Graham of holding Manning without a touchdown pass. "Obviously as a defensive group, especially DBs, you don't want to give up any passing touchdowns so it's good for us. But we've got to find ways for the defense to hold and stop them from scoring points completely."

Broncos had field position edgePosted by on December 8, 2014 – 12:50 am
Bills head coach Doug Marrone thought going in that field position would be huge in their game with Denver and he was right.
The problem was Denver had the advantage for virtually the entire game. Both teams had 11 possessions in the game. For the Bills only two of their 11 possessions began outside their own 20-yard line. Those two possessions that began beyond their own 20 came off interceptions by Corey Graham and Stephon Gilmore. Both Graham and Gilmore actually returned the interceptions into Denver territory, but they were called back on penalty.
"Yeah it was frustrating," said Graham. "Obviously you want to get points whenever you can. I was trying my best to get (to the end zone). It was unfortunate that we weren't able to score points or that I wasn't able to score points on that. But you've just got to keep playing."
The two penalties on Buffalo's interceptions wiped out 76 return yards and a drive start that could've been at the Denver 20 wound up at the Bills' 40, and a drive start that could've been at the Denver 38 instead started at the Bills 26.
Meanwhile for Denver their two worst drive starts were their own 20 and own 25. They also had a pair of drive starts in Buffalo territory (not counting the third at the end of the game when Manning kneeled out the clock).
At the end of the game the average drive start for the Bills was their own 19. For the Broncos it was their own 42.

Bills have leadership for December gamesPosted by on December 6, 2014 – 4:31 pm
They've played in meaningful December games before. Heck they've played in meaningful January games before. That's the main reason why players like Corey Graham, Brandon Spikes and Boobie Dixon were signed by Buffalo in the offseason. With players that haven't experienced being in true playoff contention on this roster, the Bills added veteran players capable of showing the way. Now they hope in the biggest December game for Buffalo in 10 years that the experience pays dividends.
"That was one of the things we talked about before I signed here," said Corey Graham on the John Murphy Show this week. "They wanted guys with character and leadership who have played at the highest level. So everything was factored in when I was brought here. So I try to lead by example and help guys. I show the young guys how to study, prepare and hopefully win."
Head coach Doug Marrone has noticed a change for the better in leadership this season in comparison to year one on his watch.
"We've brought in some players who have helped quite a bit. There's been much better leadership from within the team," Marrone told Buffalobills.com. "So there are a lot of things that are going on from a positive standpoint that we need to continue to build on to make sure none of this adversity, whatever it may be, affects (our success)."
"It's going to be a great challenge," said Dixon. "These are the type of games you live for. You got the big dogs, the AFC Champions, going into their house, the crowd is going to be against you. There's just so much motivation that goes into it. It's one of those moments where you just sit back and say, 'Ok, it's here. And then when its time on Sunday you go out there and let it go, lay out for your teammates, play hard until the end and see what happens."
"It's different. There is a little more on the line," said Graham. "Games are a little bit more important especially for a team that prides itself on defense. It gets colder and teams can't throw as much and so it favors the defensive teams and you look forward to those games. I've played in a lot of those games and it gets bigger and bigger as time goes on."

CB Graham eager to face Manning againPosted by on December 6, 2014 – 3:30 pm
Appearing on the John Murphy Show this week, Corey Graham was asked by the Bills play-by-play man about the 2012 Divisional playoff victory by the Baltimore Ravens over the home standing Denver Broncos in overtime that propelled the Ravens to the Super Bowl where they won their second NFL title.
Murphy thought it might be Graham's most memorable victory. Graham said it's not even the most memorable game against the Broncos. He's still smarting from the 2013 season opener against the Broncos, when as the defending Super Bowl champs they were embarrassed by Denver.
"The last time I played against Denver sticks in my mind way more than our Division playoff win. The last time I played the Broncos when I was with the Ravens it was opening night after we won the Super Bowl and (Peyton Manning) lit us up. He threw for like seven touchdowns. So that game hurts and it's more memorable to me than anything.
"Coming off the Super Bowl year the way he humiliated us out there, I still feel a certain way and I can't wait for the opportunity to go against him again."
In the Divisional win over Denver, Graham had an interception return for a touchdown and had another INT in overtime to set up the game-winning score. It all means nothing to Graham.
"That game he did that to us last year, I can't forget it," said Graham. "It's been on my mind all last year and all of this year. I just couldn't wait for another opportunity to play against him. I remember that game more than the playoff game that we won."
Graham says at age 38 Manning can still make all the throws like he always has, but it's clear that Manning's dismantling of the Ravens defense in 2013 is something he took personally and feels he has to make things right on Sunday.

What Bills get with Graham in for McKelvinPosted by on November 17, 2014 – 3:21 pm
Late last week we spelled out how with Leodis McKelvin out indefinitely that Corey Graham would be his replacement in the lineup. Now that it's been announced that McKelvin is out for the season with his fractured ankle we compiled the numbers from their snaps at cornerback this season to see where Buffalo's coverage would stand with Graham in the lineup. Here's what we found.
Leodis McKelvin (551 snaps) leads the team with four interceptions, is currently the club's third-leading tackler and is second on the team in pass breakups with eight. He also has allowed an opponent's passer rating of just 79.2. Those are all very good figures. On the down side he did allow a pair of touchdowns, a catch percentage of 69 percent and 179 yards after the catch.
Corey Graham (316 snaps at CB) is the team's fourth-leading tackler and is first on the team in pass breakups with nine. He has allowed an opponent's passer rating of 56.1, which is fourth best in the NFL. He's permitted a catch percentage of just 45.7 percent, good for fifth-best in the NFL. He's allowed just 49 yards total after the catch.
So it doesn't appear as though the Bills will be losing much at all at the left cornerback position with Graham now in the lineup full time. In fact they look to be making gains in some categories.

Graham on fixing missed tacklesPosted by on November 15, 2014 – 9:48 am
Bills head coach Doug Marrone called Thursday night's defensive effort one that had the most missed tackles that he's seen in one game and his players did not disagree. Veteran cornerback Corey Graham offered his thoughts on how to address that problem and get it corrected.
"You've just got to get back to the fundamentals," he said. "You do tackling drills all the time. Sometimes you get too high in your technique and things like that and you get careless and that's how you miss tackles. Some guys are just trying so hard and running so fast that it's hard to stop (and break down), things like that. But you've just got to get back to the basics. You can't miss tackles in this league and you've got to get the guy down when you have the opportunity. That's what we have to work on and get better at."

Secrets of the earliest Britons could be hidden in 5,000-year-old tombBreaking News
Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a Neolithic portal dolmen, one of Western Europe's oldest ritual burial chambered monuments, in an isolated field in Wales.
It is thought the tomb was built from giant boulders about 5,500 years ago. Its capstone bears a seemingly random pattern of dozens of circular holes gouged into its surface – symbols of Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual burial activity.
What makes it particularly interesting is that the site has rare remains of human bones and shards of decorated pottery. An official burial licence must now be sought before the bones can be removed, but eventually radiocarbon-dating and other tests planned for the remains may give new insight into our early farming ancestors....

Clutch free-throw shooting boosts Tigers past Tarpons
Published: Saturday, January 20, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 20, 2007 at 2:29 a.m.
THIBODAUX -- Thibodaux High picked up a District 6-5A victory over South Lafourche Friday night by making free throws at crunch time.
With 1:57 remaining and holding a two-point lead, Thibodaux escaped making nine of 10 free throws to secure a 57-52 win.
"We needed to make free throws to win," Thibodaux coach Tony Clark said. "It was a situation where they were going to foul us and we made them when we needed to. Weve been giving a little extra attention to free throws in practice, and its paying off."
While Thibodaux won the game on free throws, South Lafourche struggled at the line all night.
"We missed 13 free throws and thats where we lost the game at," South Lafourche coach Brian Callais said. "If we make those free throws at the end, it gives a chance to win and we didnt do it."
Thibodaux (9-14, 3-3 District 6-5A) opened the game with eight unanswered points, including 3-pointers by Lorenzo Robinson and Tristan Cheatam. South Lafourche (10-14, 1-5) quickly got back in the game with a 9-2 run to end the quarter, led by 6 points from Lane Fillinich.
After a Tarpon field goal gave South Lafourche an 11-10 lead, Thibodaux scored nine straight points to give the Tigers a 19-11 lead with 4:29 remaining in the half. The Tarpons responded with a field goal by Robert Vegas and a 3-pointer by Wesley Rhodes, but Thibodaux went back up by seven after two free throws by Carmichael Pharagood and a field goal by Trovon Reed. South Lafourches Cyle Fonseca made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cut Thibodauxs lead to four points, 23-19, at halftime.
Thibodaux continued their dominance in the third quarter. The Tigers scored the first nine points of the second half, led by Robinson with five points. The Tarpons scored their first second half points with 3:50 remaining in the third on a three-point play by Brent Adams. The Tarpons then scored seven unanswered points to cut Thibodauxs lead to four points with 1:04 remaining in the third before Thibodaux scored the next five points to lead 37-29 after three quarters.
After South Lafourche opened the fourth quarter with a lay up by Adams, Thibodaux increased their lead to 12 with a six-point run.
South Lafourche refused to go away and went on a 15-5 run, with seven points by Fonseca, to cut Thibodauxs lead to 48-46 with 2:01 remaining.
"We were panicking, but I was just trying to get us calm and back to the ball that we were playing earlier in the game," Clark said. "In the fourth quarter, we had the ball with a chance to tie it or take the lead, and it just didnt work out."
Lorenzo Robinson led Thibodaux with 16 points. Cyle Fonseca finished with 14 points for the Tarpons.
South Lafourche successfully fended off a tough challenge from Thibodaux.
After South Lafourche established a 39-36 lead after three quarters, the fourth quarter opened with five lead changes and an impressive showing by Thibodauxs Jalissa McPhearson, who scored the Tigers first eight points of the quarter.
Thibodauxs last lead was 44-43 with 5:22 remaining, but the Tarpons pulled away slightly with a 7-2 run to assume a 50-46 lead with 1:42 remaining.
Thibodaux (15-9, 5-3) had a chance when Darachia Johnson made a 3-pointer with 1:25 left to cut the Tarpons lead to one, but the Tarpons scored the last five points of the game, including three free throws.
"In the second half, we played much better defense and much smarter defense. The free throws at the end of the game really helped us," South Lafourche coach Corey Callais said. "We came through and hit some critical free throws, and they came down and didnt convert and we got some rebounds which really helped us."
"I think down the stretch we panicked a little bit," Thibodaux coach Damon Robinson said. "We played well for three and a half quarters. In the first half we really had them in trouble and didnt take advantage of it. Give credit to South Lafourche. They hung in there and made plays when they had to. We missed a lot of lay ups and free throws."
After a field goal by Kadie Bellanger, Thibodaux started the game off on the right foot with an 8-0 run that lasted over three minutes. South Lafourche responded with an 11-2 run through the rest of the first quarter, including five points from Stephanie Reed to end the first quarter ahead 13-10.
South Lafourche (23-7, 7-1) led through most of the second quarter, but never by more than 6 points. The Tarpons held a razor-thin 25-24 margin at halftime.
South Lafourche closed out the third quarter on an 8-2 run that gave them a 39-36 lead after three quarters.
Janee Lombas led South Lafourche with 12 points. Jalissa McPhearson had 13 points for Thibodaux.

Real Life Examples of Newton's First Law
Chiaki Otsuka:
|Newton's First Law of Motion
Understanding that under the First law, an object remains the same state unless an external factor affects it, let's apply to our real life example using a marble. As it is shown in the picture, if there is a ramp going down, a marble will then speed up rolling down. On the other hand, if there is a ramp going up, a marble will then slowly move up. However, if the surface was horizontal, a marble will solely keep on moving forward without speeding up slowing down. This shows that an object (a marble) remains in the same state of motion unless an external force (either uphill ramp or downhill ramp) affects it.
As previously explained, Newton's first law states that an object will remain at its own velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
A real life example of this is the simple game Air Hockey. In this game a puck is set into motion by one person hitting it (achieving a specific velocity) and then another person at the other end applying another force on the puck, changing the initial velocity (friction is ignored due to the puck being levitated on the surface by air ventilation).

FERGUSON, Mo. (August 15, 2014) The Ferguson, Mo. police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in the St. Louis suburb was identified Friday as Darren Wilson.
Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson named the officer Friday.
He said earlier this week he wasn't naming the officer because of death threats.
Michael Brown, 18, was shot Saturday after an officer encountered him and another man on the street.
They say one of the men pushed the officer into his car, then physically assaulted him and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon.
At least one shot was fired inside the car.
The struggle then spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times.
Witnesses say the officer fired on Brown as he ran away.
Reports that Jackson released Friday say Brown and his friend, Dorian Johnson, took a box of cigars from a store in Ferguson the morning of Aug. 9.
Jackson says Wilson, a six-year department veteran, encountered the two after reports of the robbery circulated on police radio.

10. Trade for Johan Santana during the off-seasonWhile the New York Yankees have pieced together a starting rotation using duct tape and shoe string this season, its cross-town rivals have enjoyed having a rock at the front of their rotation.
The Yankees were a whisker away from acquiring Johan Santana in the off-season but, in the end, he landed with the team just down the subway line.
With Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy struggling, and projects like Darrell Rasner and Sidney Ponson flopping, having an ace like Santana could have helped close the gap in the American League East.

Re: Why do ppl always say Duran moved up 2 weightclasses to beat Leonard?
[quote=MAG1965;14320205]yes I do. The variable was Ray in all 3 fights. Ray decides to fight Duran's fight he loses. Ray decided to box and fight his fight he wins. It is that simple to me. The ease with which Ray beat Duran in the 2nd and 3rd fights, coupled with Benitez easily being Duran and the Hearns fight showed speed of an elite were trouble for Duran. If you mention weight I will just say Duran fought at 154 as early as 1978, and as far as age. 29-32 years old is not old for a guy who won his last title at 38 and fought until he was 50. yet he did not fight the type of elites he fought in the 1980s.. Had he fought a guy like Roy Jones he would have lost again. Even the 30 year old Duran. Or had he fought Whitaker. I love Duran ,but speed of an elite was trouble for him. A warrior he was and he could be devastating and he fought everyone. But to give him credit in the Leonard fights and discard Benitez and Hearns just because it is favorable to him? That takes away from those greats.[/QUOTE
So do you think Duran was a better fighter beyond lightweight or not?

Results from three field network studies show that depending on individuals' network positions (central or peripheral), experts and novices have varying ethical predispositions (EP). In particular, central experts (vs. peripheral experts) have higher EP, while novices in the same positions (vs. peripheral novices) have lower EP. Results demonstrate individuals' relational-interdependent self-construal mediates these relationships. Importantly, this research suggests that the interaction between network and individual difference variables uniquely affect individuals' ethical predisposition. Given the lack of research focus on the impact of structural positions on EP, this article demonstrates the importance of combining network and individual variables to investigate individuals' EP.

The entry is the first impression of your home, for those who live there and also for those who visit. It should be a smart space that serves as place to toss your keys, phone, and mail when you arrive at home, but it's also an opportunity to place your personal style on display for visitors who pass through the threshold. Here are five ways to style an entry with pieces that guarantee a polished presentation to all who enter.
With a Console. If there was one piece of furniture that is destined for the foyer it's the console table. Defined by its long and narrow shape, a console table squeezes into narrower spaces and is perfect for an entry because of its design. Pair it with a statement mirror or work of art, then add a bouquet of seasonal blooms to make your foyer welcoming.
With a Dresser, Demilune, or Desk. Furniture with drawers allows for additional storage for a charging station or a place to keep stamps for correspondence, extra sets of keys, or smaller seasonal attire like mittens and scarves. Add a lamp and photographs to give the scene greater personality.
With a Bench. Whether your bench is built in or freestanding, placing a bench in the entry acknowledges another important purpose of an entry, as a place to remove shoes and set down groceries. From a style perspective, including a bench is an opportunity to layer fabrics and pillows to add pattern and color.
With a Round Table. Space permitting, a round pedestal table is the perfect perch for a daily vignette in the entry. It can be situated in a central position or off to the side. Books, decorative accents, and seasonal blooms placed on top of a round pedestal create a sophisticated entry.
With a Statement Piece. Perhaps you possess an heirloom you inherited from Aunt Rose or you've scored an antique on a weekend second hand treasure hunt. Placing that piece in the entry pays homage to its importance in your family and offers a chance to share its history with anyone who visits.
In our foyer, I use a simple console table topped with a tray to collect the daily mail and as a place to drop my keys. How have you styled your entry in your home?

That's good!
"My .44 mag key chain is a jailable offense?"
Crêpe! I use one too!
Exactly correct. There is no downside for violating their oath of office. This is because the MSM not only snickers at the *idea* of an oath being a serious thing, but they actually *encourage* violation of the oath.
Those that violate their oath are said to be *realists*, *statesmen*, to have *grown* in office.
The power of the MSM has become a frightful thing, and has been at least since they brought down McCarthy.
if only they'd go after their own....tourists are not the problem....and they know that of course...
first...its the GREEN.....trees, lawns, bushes...all green....the west is primarily arid or semi arid except along the coast....I do miss the greenery...
and the autumns...there's something about the smell of fall leaves and the cool air.....
and I miss the thunder storms...we get them but not routinely....
I wonder by what authority they do this? Empty shotshells or cartridge casing are NOT ammunition. And to the extent they were, they would be protected by the 2nd Amendment.
"Mines a hollowpoint."
Hollowpoint? BANNED in New Jersey. Except for the "only ones", of course.
I am beginning to think that the Dims want color controlled gun control. Cities with high black crime rates, the city councils scream for gun control. Cities with lower crime rates ..ah, due to lower black resident percentages, well they don't seem to be so freaked out about ammo or guns.
That sounds like an excellent idea. Drive them nuts by mixing in dented or spit casings of other calibers that can't be reloaded!
Wondering what the end result of getting caught with a brass solid, machined to look like round would be.
What about a picture of a spent casing or shell?

I'd hate to see what they'd do to me over my 35mm shell casing.
Is this really an issue in DC, tourists picking up all the spent casings lying around?
You can buy silver bullion from Northwest Territorial Mint in the following calibers:
9mm-.625 oz
45 ACP- 1oz
7.62 NATO- 2oz
50 BMG- 10 oz
20 mm- 25 oz
NWTM has a mixed reputation, but these are cool.
Stupidity, thy name is "district of columbia".
So reloading is illegal in DC????
This should be struck down immediately.
Illegal actions aren't much of a threat. I've thought about what possible types of actions could be taken and other than direct 2nd amendment action which unless widespread wouldn't be an effective deterrent, there really isn't anything that comes to mind, and direct 2nd amend action while it makes a nice thought, isn't practical and the odds of getting away with it especially if done repeatedly are pretty low. Plus it takes a special sort of person to do domething like that, and the vast majority of pro-freedom types are not like that as can be seen by the fact that outspoken anti-gunners never seem to end up in shallow graves in NJ. To be effective it has to be a real and pervasive threat. Addresses can be discovered and published, but since most of these are public records anyway that isn't much of a consequence.
Tell that to the DC JBTs.
