Have you noticed the schism between our current culinary lexicon and the typical menu? No one I know proposes "dining out" anymore. The more typical verbiage comes in the form of an email suggesting "we all get together and grab a bite," or that we "go have a glass of wine and something to nibble on." Such words never imply that we plan to sit down for a four-course, four-hour meal.
Yet even at moderately priced cafes, you'll still find food arranged in strict categories--appetizers, soups & salads, entrees, desserts--a classification system that smacks of stodgy, old-fashioned banquet halls where people went to "sup" and be served by tuxedoed waiters carrying silver-domed dishes. And despite our collective realization that the nation is overweight, many restaurants continue to serve heaving platters.
"Portions are out of control these days. People feel compelled to give you a lot of food so you get value, and you feel compelled to eat it because you just plunked down $24 for an entree," says Leather Storrs, chef at the newish food-and-wine bar Noble Rot. "To me, the protein, vegetable, starch and sauce plate is just not that interesting. That's not how I like to eat, so I'm not going to cook that way."
Thanks to sentiments like these, restaurants--in Portland and across the country--are beginning to come around, their menus reflecting the way people really eat in this new millennium. Formal dining is going the way of the gray wool suit. We dress casually for work, and we want to eat casually when the day is done.
"The regulars who used to come to the dining room once every couple of months, we're seeing them in the bistro more often," reports Jim Biddle, manager of the new Buckman Bistro, the next-door-neighbor offshoot of the more upscale William's on 12th. Buckman's $4 to $9 menu offers such bargain-basement delights as oven-roasted truffle spaetzle with caramelized onions, local figs, hazelnuts and fromage blanc for $6.
Of course, the small plate is the natural outcome of our ever-increasing appetite for tapas, spring rolls and sushi. It only makes sense that restaurateurs with not a bit of Spanish or Asian to their shtick are designing menus that offer nutrients in the form of nibbles rather than multi-course feasts. We've reached a tapas tipping point, and from here on out, you can expect to see more and more small plates on the restaurant horizon.
Ask Karin Devencenzi, general manager at Southpark, about the small-plates menu at the downtown bistro's wine bar and you'll hear no complaints. "It has been the fastest-growing part of our business in the last two years, by far," she says. Southpark offers diners 22 small plates ranging in price from $2.50 to $10, plus a daily tapas special for $4 to $7.
If there's a single factor driving this revolution, it's the increasingly sophisticated palates of today's diners. We don't want quantity anymore; we want quality. And we don't want to eat; we want to taste. Oh yeah, and we don't want to spend buckets of cash to do it.
In these trying economic times, why should we downscale in quality if we don't have to? Peter Kost, owner of Lucy's Table, recently redesigned his menu because he realized that his clients who are now strapped for cash weren't wanting to give up their usual gourmet fare. "They're used to going to nicer places. So they still can come in and sit in our bar," says Kost, who offers an inexpensive bar menu as well as a listing of small plates for $6 to $11 on his dinner menu. "Two small plates together is plenty for a meal."
At Noble Rot, Storrs turns out small sensations that almost never exceed $10 a dish (one exception: foie gras) so, he says, "You can be more of a nimble diner. You can have one plate of food with one glass of wine and then switch gears." As Storrs explains it, "The first three bites of a dish are incredible, but by the 20th bite, your palate has figured it out." So why not limit ourselves to those magical initial impressions?
In the Pearl, 750 mL chef Josh Shartzer whips up decadent little dishes like roasted loin of rabbit ($10) and foie gras torchon with spiced plum compote ($12). Like Storrs, 750 mL owner Rena Yatch said she originally decided to offer petite plates to accommodate guests eager to try multiple wine and food matches (she offers some 40 wines by the glass or the "sip"). "If you are doing smaller plates, it's so much easier to experiment with little tastes of wine," Yatch explains. "It doesn't commit the customer to ordering a big plate of food and eating only what's on their plate."
Both Storrs and Yatch observe that their diners seem to achieve a culinary camaraderie as they pass small plates around. "If you've got a lot of plates and a lot of things happening on the table," says Storrs, "you're forced to engage in what you're eating." And just as more sophisticated palates yearn for small plates, small plates breed more sophisticated palates. Says Storrs: "You're always going to be more aware of specific flavors if you have more things to contrast them with."

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C20H18O6 (systematic name: 1,3-dihydroxy-2-methoxyfuro[4',3',2':4,5,6]-18-norandrosta-8,11,13-triene-7,17-dione), a dihydro derivative of the fungal steroid viridin, contains two molecules with similar conformations. The rings bearing the hydroxy groups adopt boat conformations. The absolute structure was assigned based on the known chirality of a precursor compound. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O-HO hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network and weak C-HO interactions consolidate the packing.

Luckily for Mets fans the affect will not be a long-lasting physical one. If anything, recent news of Murphy's strained hamstring may cause more a flub in team development than it will in terms of physical restraint.
The Star-Ledger's Dan Graziano says Murphy's strained hammy may likely set him back:
He was in Arizona to continue his development. They even sent him there, in part, to learn how to play second base and find out how versatile a player he could be for them next year. So the fact that he misses the rest of the AFL season and his scheduled trip to the Puerto Rican winter league means he's missing at least some part of the development program they laid out for him.Even Murphy made mention of his progress and development in today's Daily News:
Murphy said he made progress getting a feel for second base in the Arizona Fall League. Also, at his request, he played 15 games at the position at Double-A Binghamton last season. Murphy didn't think it was a waste of time to play second base because versatility is useful - even if he's not used there much, if at all, during the upcoming season.Any concerns that Murphy's hamstring will hinder his progress with the Mets? Discuss below or jump on board at NJ.com's Mets Forum.

NEWS: More info on the last tweet. Officers from Natural Resources Wales are investigating an incident on the Olway Brook near Llansoy, where more than 1,000 fish have died.
The dead fish include trout, eel and lamprey. Officers visited the scene after a report from a member of the public and went on to identify and stop the suspected source of pollution.
But they said, due to low oxygen levels in the water following the incident, many fish remained in some distress.
A spokesman for Natural Resources Wales said: "We are continuing to monitor the environmental impact of this incident and are currently aerating the brook to prevent further fish deaths.
"We'll be monitoring the river closely over the coming days to ensure that the oxygen levels in the water are high enough and that no more fish are killed."
We are aerating water at Olway Brook to prevent fish deaths after pollution incident. Call 0800 80 70 60 if you see fish in distress.— Cyfoeth Naturiol (@NatResWales) August 30, 2013
COLUMN: Have you read Carolyn Hitt's column today? You really should.
She's penned a heart-warming tribute to rugby and broadcasting great Cliff Morgan. It's well worth a read.
Here's a snippet:
"Given the fact Cliff's distinctive tones endeared him to millions of listeners there was a particular cruelty that cancer of the vocal cords robbed him of his voice. But it never stopped him communicating with his usual eloquence as he replaced the spoken word with the written word.
I treasure these letters. Handwritten in fountain pen, they are vivid, anecdotal and extraordinarily generous. He would say how much he had enjoyed something I had written or share a wonderful memory from a distant Lions tour."
ROYAL VISIT: The Duchess of Cambridge in Anglesey, looking radiant...
NEWS: The family of murdered Aamir Siddiqi have spoken ahead of planned changes to fund Victim Support - they say the services provided by the charity must be protected.
In 2010, the 17-year-old was attacked at his Cardiff home. Jason Richards, 38, and Ben Hope, 39, have been jailed for life after being described as two "staggeringly incompetent" hitmen. You can see the video interview with his family at the BBC's site here.

Sausage Tree Camp stands beside a channel of the Zambezi River.
Sausage Tree Camp: Our full report
Deep within Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park, beside the confluence of the picturesque Chifungulu Channel and the Zambezi River, is the luxurious Sausage Tree Camp. Just in front of the camp lies the old sausage tree (Kigelia africana) after which the camp was named, its branches providing the perfect resting place for numerous kingfishers.
Smiling faces, a refreshing drink and a cooling flannel will normally welcome you to Sausage Tree Camp. At first glance, the camp appears to be very modest, but once you've stepped inside the main area, seen the views over the Zambezi River and experienced the service of the team, you'll know exactly why their guests return time and time again. Sausage Tree has a very relaxed feel, yet it runs like clockwork. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for the enthusiastic managers, Nicci and Alan, who have been running the camp for numerous years. On our many visits, we've seen them and their team go out of their way to make guests as comfortable as possible.
Sausage Tree Camp has eight Bedouin-style tents with white canvas roofs and reed walls. All are spread out along the banks of the Zambezi River under the shade of mahogany and sausage trees, and evenly spaced to provide as much privacy as possible.
Five of these tents are designated 'signature' tents, two are honeymoon suites, and the newest is the large Kigelia House, which has two separate rooms. All are high-quality and broadly similar in feel and style.
- The spacious 'signature' tents at Sausage Tree Camp can be opened at the front to provide river views from their private deck. However, the wooden sliding shutters are closed at night, making the rooms feel quite cosy. Each has ochre screeded floors and beautiful teak furniture: a dressing table, chest of drawers, wardrobe, writing desk and four-poster beds with mosquito nets. These tents also have free-standing fans.
Leading out from each bedroom is a private but open-air en-suite bathroom. This floor is also screeded, so you don't have to worry about getting sandy feet after your shower. The basin and toilet are cleverly moulded into walls and shelves – it looks much better than it sounds – and if you enjoy a good shower then you'll be pleased to know that we've found the water pressure to be excellent.
- The two honeymoon suites are furnished in a similar style and can also open at the front to provide great views of the Zambezi River, but here a plunge pool is set into the deck, and both loungers and a daybed invite relaxation. The suites are much larger, too, with their own dining area, where private meals can be arranged. There is also a small bar fridge which the team will be happy to stock with your favourite drinks on request.
The large bedroom and lounge area houses a huge four-poster bed and a comfy leather couch beside a coffee table scattered with books and magazines, as well as a pair of binoculars for your use. The rooms aren't air conditioned, but there is a free-standing fan which was very welcome in the October heat on our most recent visit. The hanging space for clothes, dressing table and the luggage rack are all made out of stone and moulded into the wall that partially separates the bedroom from the bathroom. The bathroom itself has twin 'rain' showers, twin handbasins, a vast stone bathtub and a flushing toilet, while each suite also has its own private outside shower.
- Kigelia House is very similar in build and style to Sausage Tree's honeymoon suites, but is larger still. It is set under one large canvas roof, which encompasses two separate and enclosed en-suite rooms with reed walls. One room is the master bedroom with a huge double bed; the second has twin beds, although these can be made into a double on request. The rooms are bright and spacious, each with hanging space made from moulded stone and a comfortable leather armchair.
Between the two bedrooms, and totally open at the front, is a shared lounge furnished with a huge leather sofa, a stunning curved coffee table and a self-service bar, while the large deck in front incorporates a private plunge pool.
Your own private butler is on hand to assist with requests.
Sausage Tree's main area is a simple, elegant white Bedouin tent with open sides. Here you'll find a small library, some sitting areas with comfortable sofas, a communal dining room table where they serve usually superb meals, and a well-stocked bar. We thought the quirky glasses made out of recycled J&B whisky bottles were a fun touch! Wooden decks extend from the main area almost right up to the river. Comfortable cane furniture is spread around the uncovered deck, so there is plenty of seating to while away the quiet afternoons. In front of the bar there is also a firepit where pre and post-dinner drinks are often served under the stars.
Set aside from the main area and running parallel to the River Zambezi is a large swimming pool, long enough to swim laps. So if you fancy a bit of exercise, often not possible in safari camps, then you'll probably enjoy this feature. Otherwise, sunloungers in one of the sunniest spots of the camp make it the perfect spot for a relaxing siesta.
Sausage Tree offers a range of flexible activities, which are run by excellent guides. These include walking safaris as well as day and night game drives in open 4WDs. The game in this area is often excellent. During our most recent stay, in October 2013, there were several sightings of a pride of lions with cubs and one evening we watched as a leopard rolled in buffalo dung to mask its scent and started stalking some puku. Not wanting to interfere with a potential meal, we set off and were rewarded with a very good sighting of a civet – seemingly unaware of or unbothered by our presence – that we watched for about five minutes.
Relaxing morning and afternoon boat cruises on the Zambezi River, using nine-seater motorboats that seem rarely to have more than a few guests in them, are also a featured activity and are a great way to explore the river, as well as watch the wildlife and birdlife that it supports.
Anglers at Sausage Tree Camp can practise catch-and-release fly-fishing and tigerfishing, with expensive professional rods and reels to cater to the serious fisherman who sometimes come here. Even for novices, fishing can be a thrill. On our last visit, under the guidance of our expert fishing guide, we were hugely excited to land a 25kg vundu – a type of freshwater catfish.
Sausage Tree also offers canoe trips down the Chifungulu Channel, guided by professional canoe guides. Usually there's a guide in each canoe, although you can opt to paddle yourself. The canoeing channels here can be narrow (see the satellite photograph of the camp, and note nearby channels) and have a high density of hippos and crocodiles, so it's important to understand that these trips can be a little hair-raising, and that there is a higher level of risk involved than for most game activities.
Our viewSausage Tree is one of the most luxurious camps in the Lower Zambezi. We believe this is as much a result of the high quality of service as the unique and stylish accommodation. Combine this with superb guiding in a game-rich area and you have a great balance that we think works really well.
Location: Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia
Ideal length of stay: We'd recommend a minimum of three nights to make the most of this game-rich area and the variety of activities.
Directions: The flight from Lusaka to Jeki airstrip takes approximately 35 minutes. From here, it's around a 10-minute drive to the river, where a boat will transfer you to camp in about 40 minutes.
Accessible by: Fly-and-Transfer
Key personnel
Owner: Independent / Owner Run
Food & drink
Usual board basis: Full Board
Food quality: On previous visits and when we last visited in October 2013, we've found it difficult to fault the food at Sausage Tree.
Tea and coffee are delivered to your tent along with your early-morning wake-up call. Then just prior to the early-morning activity, a light breakfast of toast, muffins, cereal, yoghurt and porridge along with tea, coffee and fruit juice is served around the fire overlooking the Zambezi.
Lunch is usually served around midday. On our most recent visit in October 2013 we had a barbecue lunch on a private island under a big white umbrella, served with a variety of salads and freshly baked bread. This was accompanied by Pimms and lemonade and followed by cheese and biscuits.
Save space for afternoon tea, which is served before your afternoon activity at around 3.30pm. The freshly baked chocolate cake was moist and delicious – we were pleased we weren't the only ones who went back for a second helping! There is also fruit for the more health conscious, as well as a selection of hot and cold drinks.
Dinner is after your afternoon/evening activity, usually at around 8.00pm. On our visits we've enjoyed starters of pumpkin or cauliflower soup, followed by a main of fillet steak with roasted vegetables. Dessert on one visit was crème caramel and glazed pear, while on our last stay we had apricot and almond tart with cream.
Dining style: Group Meals
Dining locations: Indoor and Outdoor Dining
Cost of meal e.g. lunch: Included
Drinks included: House wines, soft drinks and local spirits are included. Champagne and premium imported wines and spirits are not.
Further dining info: Room service is available, which is unusual for a safari camp. Just bear in mind it's not 24 hours a day!
Special interests
Solo Travel: Sausage Tree offers a very personal safari experience in the Lower Zambezi, with excellent guides and a stunning location beside the Zambezi. Activities are shared, helping to make it sociable for solo travellers, who won't be charged a single supplement.See more ideas for Solo Travel in Zambia
Honeymoons: Sausage Tree Camp is romantic, elegant, peaceful and remote: perfect as part of a honeymoon in Zambia. The honeymoon suite has beautiful views over the Zambezi, a large (double!) bathtub a four-poster bed and comfy sofa with river views. Private dinners can also be arranged.See more ideas for Honeymoons in Zambia
Birdwatching: Sausage Tree is great for birdwatching in Zambia, with land and water birds seen from game drives, walks, canoeing and from the camp itself. When last there, our best sightings included goliath herons and giant kingfishers – plus martial eagles, a Gabar goshawk and numerous fish eagles.See more ideas for Birdwatching in Zambia
Walking safaris: Sausage Tree's guides are very good and its environment, with glades of tall riverine trees (notably Acacia albida) is one of the best for walking safaris in Zambia. Travellers can walk straight out of camp and big game is never far away.See more ideas for Walking safaris in Zambia
Wildlife safaris: Sausage Tree is one of the few camps in the Lower Zambezi National Park itself; which has excellent game densities. Combine this with excellent guides and Sausage Tree makes a one of the best camps for a Zambian wildlife safari.See more ideas for Wildlife safaris in Zambia
Attitude towards children: Children over eight years are welcome with their parents. The minimum age for walking and canoeing in the Lower Zambezi National Park is 12 years.
Property's age restrictions: Children over 8 years are welcome with their parents but the minimum age for walking and canoeing in the Lower Zambezi National Park is 12 years.
Special activities & services: Children's programmes can be arranged, to include such activities as 'hunting' (i.e tracking spoor), or making candles and cards.
Equipment: There is no furniture designed for small children, but an extra bed can fit comfortably into one of the tents; two would be a bit of a squash but can be arranged. The Kigelia House has two rooms, so is much better suited to small families.
Generally recommended for children: We would recommend Sausage Tree for sensible, mature children who are interested in wildlife and will understand the full safety implications of being in an area of dangerous big game.
Notes: Sausage Tree Camp is located on the edge of the Zambezi River and within the Lower Zambezi National Park. There are no fences around the camp, so dangerous animals do roam freely through the camp at any time of the day. The camp also has a swimming pool which is not fenced in. Children must be supervised by their parents at all times.
Power supply: Generator
Power supply notes: Power is available 24 hours a day. There are plug points in the rooms for charging batteries.
Communications: There is very occasional cellphone reception at Sausage Tree Camp, but it's intermittent and cannot be relied upon. The camp does have internet available in the office, which guests may use in an emergency.
TV & radio: None
Water supply: Other
Water supply notes: Water is pumped from the Zambezi River and filtered for showers and baths. A jug of drinking water is provided in each tent, having been triple filtered and treated with a UV light. It's not recommended to drink water straight from the tap. The showers are plumbed in with hot and cold running water, and there are flushing toilets.
Health & safety
Malarial protection recommended: Yes
Medical care: The camp managers and guides are first-aid trained. In an emergency guests would normally be evacuated by air to Lusaka and then possibly to Johannesburg.
Dangerous animals: High Risk
Security measures: Guests are escorted to their tents after dark, and radios are provided in the tents to summon help in case of emergency. The guides' tents are spread out through the camp, so there is usually someone nearby to assist.
Fire safety: There is a fire extinguisher and a bucket of sand outside each tent.
Disabled access: On Request
Laundry facilities: A full laundry service is included.
Money: No exchange facilities are offered. There are no safes in the rooms, but valuables can be stored in the office safe if necessary.
Accepted payment on location: In the unlikely event that you'll need to pay for something, cash payments in the local currency, kwacha, are preferred. However, Sausage Tree can accept small amounts of US dollars (which are also fine for tipping), South African rand, UK pounds or euros in cash. MasterCard and Visa credit cards are accepted, but take a bit longer to process as the payment goes through the head office in Lusaka.

Eleven Olympic medals and she looks to be through.
For Natalie Coughlin, the weekend was the end of one of the better U.S. Olympic female swimmers in history.
Based on a career that saw her become the first woman ever to swim the 100-meter backstroke (long course) in under a minute.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics, she became the first U.S. female athlete in modern Olympic history to win six medals in one Olympiad, and the first woman ever to win a 100-meter backstroke gold in two consecutive Olympics 10 days before she turned 20 years old.
It has been that kind of success that makes her one of the best in the world. Now starts the debate of how good she is and where she ranks all-time in United States swimming history.
Here is where she is ranked in my assessment of the best America has seen in the pool. And based on this list, the rankings are very tough to determine.

Treating Pressure Ulcers: Surgery
A large pressure ulcer is a threat to your health. Without surgical repair, these wounds can take a long time to heal. This can raise the risk for serious complications. If you think surgical repair of an ulcer is needed, review the goals of care with a healthcare provider. Also be sure you get good nutrition.
Surgical flap and skin graft
The goal is to close the ulcer and provide padding over the bony prominence. Healthy tissue from another part of the body is often used. A muscle flap is one of the best surgical interventions, since a flap retains its own blood supply. This allows for more rapid healing. A skin graft can also close the wound. Living or artificial skin may be used.
After surgery
These precautions should be taken after a surgical procedure:
Keep pressure off the affected area.
Keep the sutures clean.
Ensure wound drains stay open.
Watch for signs of infection and hematomas.
Watch for signs of impaired healing, such as a change in wound color or abnormal drainage.

South Leeds Primary Care Trust has established a call centre for booking appointments for community services. This handles bookings for physiotherapy, minor surgery and retinal screening. Since it went live in April 2002, the service has booked 2000 appointments, reduced waiting times for physiotherapy appointments from 16 to four weeks and cut non-attendance rates from 18 to 2%. It is hoped to extend operating hours to 7:30pm and to cover other services.

One in five GPs plan to quit the health service because of rising disenchantment with the job according to new figures from the Department of Health. The research shows an increase in the number wanting to quit, from 14% in 1998 to 22% in 2001.

Health Action Zones appropriate the concept of community participation as a means of accessing individuals to involve them in projects which encourage them to take responsibility for their own health. They are thus attempting to tackle inequalities at a micro-level in order to build capacity and allow people to better manage their own health. Paper uses the findings of an ongoing study of the development of a zone in North-east England to consider community involvement in practice.

Health Service Journal, vol. 113, Jan 30th 2003, p.28-29
Research with six primary care trusts (PCTs) started in 2001 suggests that many lack access to relevant expertise in human resources management. Where PCTs do have human resources directors, they are often being asked to act on strategic issues which are outside their experience. PCTs required to rely on acute trusts' Human Resources Departments for HR expertise find this unsatisfactory as the issues facing the two sectors are very different. The status of human resources management in PCTs needs to be boosted.

Research in one primary care group involving 92 patients from nine general practices established a list of the 20 standards most important to patients. When asked to assess themselves against these standards, practices rated their services higher than patients did. The research uncovered considerable resistance to patient involvement from GPs.

Report of an interview with Dr Peter Smith, chair of the National Association of Primary Care. He emphasises the importance of involving doctors and managers at practice level in commissioning services. He expects practices which operate under Personal Medical Services contracts be at the forefront of this commissioning.

Journal of Health Services Research and Policy, vol. 8, 2003, p.11-17
Data on size, proxy measures of performance and merger intentions were extracted from telephone and mail surveys of 71 primary care groups and trusts in England. There is little evidence that the performance or efficiency of a primary care organisation is related to its size. Optimal size may differ for different functions. Mergers are seen as a way of increasing management capacity and may reflect the desire of managers to manage large organisations.

Hoopcamps kicks off 47th summer
Islander Hoopcamps kicked off its 47th summer providing basketball instruction to Mercer Island youth. Over 220 kids will participate across the 6 sessions this year, led by Islander head coach, Gavin Cree.
Week one began the with overall basketball skills sessions for kids entering 1st through 8th grades, divided across morning and afternoon sessions. Coach Cree is assisted in the camps by Islander assistant coach, Chris Newell, a long-time Mercer Island basketball player who played Division I basketball at UC Santa Barbara. Also assisting at camps are various Mercer Island basketball alumni, including Quinn Sterling (UW), Joe Rasmussen (SPU), Derek Newhof (Willamette), Jake Shaddle (Shoreline), Jake Stenberg (2014 MIHS Captain) and Sean Hughes (2012 MIHS Captain).
The campers-of-the-week winners in week one were Jack Besecker, Tony Swendrowski, Joe Cookson and William Leeand, all for exemplifying the Islander basketball traits of leadership, optimism, hustle and improvement. Best attitude winners were Henry Newcomer, Luke Michaelbus, Henry Watson and Graham Cartwright.
"I loved what we saw on the court last week. The kids worked very hard and came away much better players," said Coach Cree of the performance of all campers in the first week. "My coaches and I enjoy these camps each year, spending quality time with each kid focused on fundamentals. You can never stress the fundamentals of the game enough, from youth basketball all the way to the pros. We see so many kids make huge leaps in skill level between seasons, and these camps are a great way to kickoff a productive summer."
There are still opportunities for 5th - 8th graders to join ball handling and shooting camps the week of July 7 - 10. Registration is available online at www.mibasketball.org.

In his weekly scouting report, Daily News football guru Paul Domowitch graded the Eagles better at every position, with the exception of receiver, versus the Bengals. In a logical progression, Domowitch then sums up the article by picking the Bengals to win the game 24-21.
Domo isn't the only naysayer. I've heard/read a number of pundits, writers, and assorted geniuses who are under the impression that Sunday's game may be tougher than expected. Now I know the Birds haven't been lights out as of late, but I just don't see why anyone would find this Bengal team dangerous. Lets look at a few barometers of competence shall we?
Total Offense
Bengals 238 ypg (worst in the NFL)
Eagles 360 ypg (7th in the NFL)
Passing Offense
Bengals 151 ypg (30th)
Eagles 262 ypg (5th)
Rushing Offense
Bengals 86 ypg (30th)
Eagles 98 ypg (22nd)
Points Scored
Bengals 13.9 ppg (31st)
Eagles 27.9 ppg (4th)
Total Defense
Bengals 332 ypg (20th)
Eagles 294 ypg (9th)
Passing Defense
Bengals 191 ypg (10th)
Eagles 190 ypg (6th)
Rushing Defense
Bengals 138 ypg (25th)
Eagles 103 ypg (13th)
Points Scored Against
Bengals 26.2 (26th)
Eagles 20.0 (10th)
Now that we've looked at the traditional statistics, let's see what Football Outsiders has in store for us:
Total DVOA
Bengals - 30th overall
Eagles - 2nd overall
Offensive DVOA
Bengals - 30th overall
Eagles - 7th overall
Defensive DVOA
Bengals - 23rd overall
Eagles - 6th overall
Special Teams DVOA
Bengals - 26th overall
Eagles - 16th overall
A couple tidbits I noticed:
* Ryan Fitzpatrick is ranked as the 3rd worst QB in the NFL behind JaMarcus Russell and J.T. O'Sullivan in yards over replacement player. Fitzpatrick actually has negative replacement yards, which translates that he is worse than your run of the mill "replacement" quarterback.
* The Bengals have the worst offensive line in the NFL coupled with the worst rushing attack in the NFL. That's a winning combination.
* The Bengals are the second worst team when it comes to sacking the quarterback. They are also the fourth worst team at protecting their own quarterback.
* The left side of the Bengals defensive line is the worst in the NFL at stopping the run. The right side? Oh, right defensive end and prized free agent acquisition Antwan Odom has been downgraded to questionable due to a shoulder injury.
* Those frisky Bengal wide receivers have not caught a pass longer than 26 yards this season.
Can the Bengals win? Sure, this is the NFL remember. In their premium database, Football Outsiders pinpoints the Bengals chances to outright win this game at 5%!
Hopefully everyone feels better now.

Overwhelmed!!!! (PIOG)
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!!
I would strongly recommend 'Strong Women Stay Young' and 'Younger Next Year'...
Stay away from diets unless you'd like to aim your sights at joining the over-800lb club...
SparkPeople.com really helped me. There is advice and diet and exercise plans. You can keep track of every food you eat and every move you make. What really helped me was entering ever thing I put in my mouth, partly because it could be time consuming at times and if I felt hungry I would think. Do I really want this snack so much that I am willing to spend the time to enter it into my daily food tracker. lol
Try it, it is really helpful.
What is your diet like? Diets are faddish, and most often cause the weight to come back. A healthy regimen of clean eating and exercise can be a lifestyle.
It is not easy to change or do a 180 overnight. Making small changes over time, make a big difference long term. Small changes can include cutting out foods that don't need to be there (processed doors, excess sugar, sodas, etc), and adding in healthy items (drinking more water, eating more servings of fruits and veggies, adding healthy fats, etc.)
Exercise is important for all of us. It sounds like you need something low impact, that will be kind to your joints. I would suggest swimming, elliptical machine, bicycle, low-impact aerobics, yoga, Pilates, and walking. There are number and variety of things you can do. Try building up to doing more and more. Exercise twice a week, then build to three, four, etc.
Exercise will help with fatigue and depression. Doing strength training will help strengthen the joints, and in turn, help with the pain/stiffness. You can strength train with light dumbbells, resistance tubing, weight machines, or household goods (think of the big bottles of laundry detergent!)
What types of things are you interested in exercise wise?
Try not to get discouraged. Just remember that it can take some time. Don't give up. You can do this! There are ladies her that want to help.
Good luck to you.
BMR - 4.35 x 153 = 665.55
4.7 x 63 = 296.1
665.55 + 296.1 + 655 = 1616.65
35 x 4.7 = 164.50
1616.65 - 164.50 = 1452.15
Above posts have good advice. I'm trying to lose some belly fat myself. Take it slow, don't do drastic diets. Start with watching sweets and carb intake. Subsitute chips and cookies with fruits and veggies. I try to not keep sweet snacks in the house. If it's not there, it;s not tempting. After one week, check the scale, don't check it every day. If it's a pound you lose, good for you! Try for two the next week. If you can't exercise much move around as much as you can with activities like housework, walking in the parking lots etc...
I have lupus and degenerative osteoarthritis, so I feel your pain. I try to stretch and walk as much as I can. Some days are easier than others, for sure. I'm puffy from prednisone and try to cut down portion size.
I would recommend not worrying too much about bmi. I wouldn't worry about any special diet to lose weight either. I would look at how you eat, and change it by adding more veggies and fruits, and less junk food, then also make the dishes you create and serve a little healthier by using the lower fat ingredients when you can, and when it won't change the flavor of the dish too much. That will help you not only lose weight but will help you to keep off the weight. Remember a little junk food here and there will not kill you and will help to keep the binging monster from your life. You will lose weight a tiny bit slower doing it this way, but it is the healthiest way to do it. Also excersice when you can, don't be too hard on yourself when you can't. Maybe add some st john's wart to your diet as well, that will help with the depression... maybe.
Also if you are cutting down portion sizes, using smaller plates will help tremendously. I didn't think it would until I tried it. I am fuller with less food this way. Because I my plate is really full of food and is actually the right amounts. I feel fuller when I'm done eating those smaller amounts of food.
Good luck.

|dam, Branson
Our fascination with disaster as an attraction
is somewhat disturbing--- flocking to it,
perhaps attempting to understand
what no one can
On vacation, in Branson
you'll find most anything to occupy y
our attention:
strap yourself in a cage and be shot
to the clouds---0-60 in flat seconds, upside down
half the time---American Idol finalists, shows galore
a fish hatchery for the naturalist, outlets-outlets-outlets
(free fudge) putt-putt, amusement park, roadside
attractions, ozark mountains---
We choose touring the Titanic, already knowing our fate,
the prop-ellor over our heads as we wait in the lobby
is foreboding, all 800 & some feet ready to sink
for our pleasure---
Touch the iceberg & feel your fingers burn-by the end
we'll submerge them til our joints hurt
after only 18 seconds, imagine waiting, hope leaking
like feeling as you cling to the wreckage, looking
for loved ones & LoSinG (shiveRteeTHc-c-c-latter)
I am William Minahan, a doctor
I don't make it, but got my name on the wall
what FAME! (you'd think people'd be more solemn)
The musicians played til the end, none even
trying to get in a lifeboat---first, popular tunes
then hymns, small comfort to ease the passage,
I trace words in the glass:
"we were a mess of hopeless dazed humanity
attempting…to keep
our breath to the last possible moment"
Oh, how I understand Jack, but my kids don't
they laugh and laugh as they try to climb the tilting deck
I, staring into the eyes of the porter, all beard
& felt hat, hand in his pocket fingering a watch
it's almost time, it's almost time - he just doesn't know it
Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon gets the last word in
as we take our first watery breath
"the possibility of being able to help anyone
never occurred to me…"
& we leave,
souvenir plush stuffed ship in hand
too fascinated to believe
Over at dVerse today, I am hosting Poetics, where we will be turning our eye on history. Actually we did enjoy the museum. One of those places I wont return too but enjoyed once. Particularly fond of the pictures by Francis Brown that were found in a trunk at his death. The only know pictures of life aboard the Titanic. Pick your point in history and get writing. I will open the doors at 3 pm EST.

AMD working on parts for the next Sony console
Former AMD employees have leaked information that indicates that a successor to the PS3 is in development.
With the IBM already tied in to deals for producing the processors for Sony and Microsoft's next generation of machines, it would seem that AMD will be delivering the graphics processors for Sony's new machine.
As Nvidia provided the graphical processing power behind the PS3 this could signal a shift in approach for Sony with the PS4.
Sony and AMD have declined to comment on the rumours but Sony has previously commented that they will be announcing no new hardware this year in order to focus on the PS Vita.
Thanks Forbes.

ESCANABA -Because of public safety concerns, Escanaba is considering banning drivers from using their hands to talk on cell phones while driving.
During a work session Thursday, Escanaba City Council discussed the possibility of developing an ordinance allowing hands-free cell phone usage while operating a motor vehicle but no talking and texting by hand.
"This was brought up at council meetings. I thought it was important to discuss," City Manager Jim O'Toole told council. He added the purpose of such an ordinance would be for the safety of the public.
Capt. Al O'Dell of Escanaba Public Safety, agreed that not holding a cell phone while driving makes for safer driving for everyone concerned.
"It should be a statewide law," O'Dell said, adding a local ordinance would have to be enforced to be effective.
Council members Gilbert Cheves and Tom Warstler recounted recent incidents where their vehicles were almost involved in accidents because of other drivers using cell phones while going down the road.
Following consensus of council, O'Toole said he would research the issue and get back to council with more information.
During the work session, council also discussed developing a policy on memorials, monuments and public art being placed on public property in the city.
Concerns on permanent displays first became an issue with the installation of the Red Buck artwork in Ludington Park, O'Toole said. A local artist was commissioned to create the art which was chosen by the public in a joint project between the city and Bonifas Art Center.
Since then, the city has been approached by others requesting to place monuments on public property, O'Toole said, concerned about monitoring future displays.
O'Toole suggested council look into developing a policy on what, where, when and why permanent memorials or artwork can be put up in the city. The policy should provide the public with an understanding of the decision-making process, he said. Council would have the ultimate approval, he added.
Council agreed to have a committee work on a policy to present for council approval. An inventory will also be conducted of current monuments and art on city property.
Other items discussed at the work session included expanding wireless opportunities downtown, redesigning the city's Web site, and expanding a snowmobile route on the west side of the city. Council members were also updated on the status of abandoned buildings in Escanaba.

William Jefferson gets OK to attend funeral for former House colleague
By Bruce Alpert, Times-Picayune
Updated: Monday, March 12, 2012, 4:14 PM
WASHINGTON -- Former Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, has received court permission to attend Wednesday's funeral for Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J., one of his closest friends when both served on Capitol Hill. The funeral will be held in Newark, N.J, with a public viewing on Tuesday. Payne, 77, died last week after being diagnosed with colon cancer.
Ellis gave Jefferson a 13-year sentence - the longest corruption sentence for a member of Congress -- after his 2009 conviction. Most of the charges related to his efforts to secure contracts from businesses that offered, and in some cases paid money, to businesses controlled by Jefferson's family.
In his appeal, Jefferson's lawyers argue that Ellis erred when he told the jury that influencing foreign officials is routinely part of a congressional member's official duties.
His lawyers argue that Jefferson's work in Africa on behalf of clients, while potentially a violation of House Ethics Rules, are not applicable under federal bribery laws because he wasn't acting as a member of Congress, but rather as a private businessman. None of the allegations against him, they said, relate to his official duties such as voting, introducing legislation, or conducting committee business.

..depends on how long it would take to find people I'm suppose to pay off
or what info you have to spill on the ones trying to send you there.
Only 13 years? Kid stuff! We should send Dollar Bill to Sheriff Joe's jail instead. It would be the longest 13-year sentence ever, hee hee.
Thanks Libloather.
Yea NJ-10 Payne, Donald [D]
Yea LA-2 Jefferson, William [D]
That's a good point. Were it you or I, I doubt a judge would let us out to attend our own mother's funeral, much less someone unrelated and half a country away.
Then again, you and I probably would never commit 11 felonies, either.
deal cutting
Mr Payne several years ago came up with a brilliant solution for teen car thief when it was the highest in the nation (Newark).....as punishment he would make the sixteen year old's wait until they were 21 to be able to get a license...tough eh? (moron)
Interesting that they're allowing him to attend the funeral of a non-relative. I realize it's the Feds, but when I worked in NY State Corrections, an inmate could only request a sick bed visit or funeral attendance if it was an immediate family member. And it wasn't guaranteed that he/she'd be allowed the visit. The inmate would be escorted by two uniformed officers. I doubt this is standard practice in the Federal system, and by letting him go to the funeral of a friend, they may be opening up a can of worms. If they do it for him, what's going to stop anyone else from requesting the same privilege? I wonder how much money this is going to cost the taxpayers.
I'm surprised I didn't hear Payne had died.

When Michelle Tonkin talks about the Tonkin Fun Run coming up this Sunday, June 1, her enthusiasm is infectious because it benefits a cause near to her heart – local schools. And thanks to the Tonkin Family and local sponsors, 100 percent of participants' registration fees will go directly to those schools.
But Tonkin isn't just focused on one school district or one program. This year's "For the Love of Schools" event will benefit 10 high schools in seven school districts, from Woodburn to Clackamas. And, race participants can not only choose which district to direct their funds toward, but which program within the district from a menu of choices for each one. In West Linn-Wilsonville, for example, they can choose among the arts program, education foundation or high school athletics.
Last year about 600 people participated, earning more than $20,000 for the West Linn- Wilsonville schools. This year, Tonkin expects an increase due to the expanded number of school districts, pegging attendance at 800 to 1,000 participants.
Tonkin's enthusiasm even extends to race registration – she said that more than 200 people signed up on race day last year. While most event directors might stress over a last-minute influx, she takes it in stride. "The more the merrier! It's a good problem to have," she says.
Tonkin developed the family event in 2012, as a way to not only offer funds to schools but to involve the kids who would be directly benefiting.
"I've spent the last 15 years of my life helping out in the schools and I see the need," she said. They had considered developing a Tonkin scholarship but she felt that was too limiting. "A scholarship is a designated amount of money. This can continue to grow."
This is the first year that other school districts have been involved. Tonkin said that Parkrose asked if they could participate and that's when she started spreading the word, inviting coaches, principals and teachers at other schools to attend last year.
"It was always my vision to expand. We want all the kids in our region to have a great education," she said. "It was never intended to be just a one district thing, but you have to start somewhere, so starting with my home district was the way to go."
She plans to add school districts every other year, noting that when she invites someone she is making the commitment to them to help them run it effectively. "Lots of businesses are very generous, but they make the schools do the work. I want the teachers to be teaching and the coaches coaching, rather than spending their time fundraising. They don't have to secure a venue, manage logistics or solicit a bunch of volunteers. They just need to get people to come!"
Jay Puppo, president of the West Linn-Wilsonville Education Foundation, says they are actively promoting the event with local families. "If we can get one student per class to participate in the Run, the Foundation will receive over $17,000; if 5 students per class run, we earn over $100,000 to help add teachers next school year," he said. Another popular option for families who don't want to run is to sponsor a teacher. "It's a great way to show a teacher how much you value what they do for our kids."
The Tonkin Fun Run will feature a 5K ($40/$20 for kids 14 and under); 10K ($50/$20 for kids 14 and under); and a new half marathon ($60). Participants can also choose to sponsor a teacher for $40. Racers will gather at Audi Wilsonville (26600 SW 95th Ave) and there will be food, music and more. Registration begins at 6 a.m., with staggered start times for the various races from 7:30 to 7:55.
