HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- It may not have been pretty, but no one wearing James Clemens blue will remember that part.
In a game dominated by defense, penalties and missed opportunities, the Jets prevailed 14-6 over J.O. Johnson tonight Louis Crews Stadium for the first win in program history.
"It's a win," said James Clemens coach Wald Waldrop, who took over during the offseason after the Jets went 0-10 in their inaugural season. "We didn't play to the level we need to to be successful. I'm pleased that we won and we competed and we found a way to win. We knew it was going to be a really tough game. But the execution in all phases of the game tonight was not very good on our end."
The James Clemens defense proved to be the difference. With the Jets trailing 6-0 in the first quarter, Johnson drove into the red zone, but the Jets' Davis Bowman recovered a fumble at the 18, and 11 players later Heath Burchfield hit tight end Trevor Makarov for a 20-yard score.
James Clemens sacked Johnson quarterback Danny Johnson seven times, recovered three of six fumbles and picked off a pass.
"I thought our defense played outstanding, with the exception of the first drive," Waldrop said. "We had one or two breakdowns on the run, but I thought, defensively, we got after it pretty good."
Burchfield, the Jets' starter last season a freshman, hooked up with Makarov to set up James Clemens' second touchdown. Makarov got wide-open across the middle, then managed to make a finger-tip, juggling catch before racing to the the Johnson 4-yard line for a 57-yard gain. Maceo Booker punched it in from two yards out for an eight-point lead with 9:20 left in the game.
"He just found the open spots and I was able to hit him a couple of times," Burchfield said of Makarov. "He made some great plays out there tonight"
Following James Clemens' second touchdown, Johnson punted, the turned the ball over on downs with less than a minute left in the game.
The Jaguars scored on their first drive of the game as Danny Johnson avoided a blind-side blitz, then hit his twin brother DeVon for a 69-yard touchdown.
Johnson finished with 210 yards to James Clemens' 202. The Jets had a 10 to eight edge in first downs.
"I'm very happy for this program," Waldrop said. "especially for all those kids that fought so hard last year, dealing with an 0-10 season. I was not a part of it, but some of these coaches and players were, so I know what tonight means for them, and I'm extremely happy they're going to let me be part of it tonight."
A frustrated Johnson coach Harold Wells said he didn't want to take anything away from James Clemens.
"Too many official's flags, too many turnovers and not enough execution at the end," he said.
The first winning postgame handshake in James Clemens history
Key takeaways. The Jets twice forced a turnover after Johnson got in the red zone. Davis Bowman recovered a fumble in the first quarter, and Ladarius Forney picked off a pass in the third.
Heath Burchfield hit Trevor Makarov across the middle for a 57-yard gain to set up James Clemens' second touchdown with 9:20 left in the game.
Give it to the James Clemens front seven. The Jets sacked Johnson quarterback Danny Johnson seven times and constantly applied pressure.
104. The number of rushing yards for Johnson, and average of just 2.9 yards per carry.
James Clemens clashes with intracity foe Bob Jones on Friday, while Johnson hosts DAR at Milton Frank Stadium.

Apollo fool,,,,
Anyone else buy a first generation Apollo and now regret the choice?
Can't give it away, let alone sell it!
Please expand.... what don't you like about it?
Does it plane much earlier than a formula board?
I have the Apollo and in lightwind it is great, I made a new PB in national competition this year... :cool:
My mistake.
I have the Apollo too, and in superlight wind with it's monster fin it is Amazing!
But,,,,I read the hype and fell for it. I wanted to believe that it would be far superior than a regular formula in light wind, and offer better all-round performance for heavier sailors than the F161. And it does,,,,,,,,, And it doesn't,,,,,,, I was so convinced of it's revolutionary concept that I raced out and ordered it before it was even released.
"The Apollo concept consists of a board with lower rocker, a wider nose and a wider tail combined with a softer, earlier planing rig concept. A new, powerful 75cm R13 Race fin with a reduced rake angle is included with the board to take full advantage of the efficient design."
"The Apollo will be class legal in the Formula Windsurfing Class and inspire the currently most popular windsurfing class in the world to go for Olympic participation. It will probably provide better all-round performance than the F161 in light wind and for heavy sailors".
"Remember what the Formula did for the Racing class and then imagine what the Apollo can do for the Formula class!."
With it's magic 75cm fin it does what it say's on the box. But with race legal fins, It doesn't even come close to regular formula boards. Given that we often race in over 10 to 12 knots.
Over a period of six months testing, my tuning partner and I found that with race legal 70cm fins fitted, the light wind performance advantage of the Apollo (it' main selling point) shrunk to almost nil (comparative tuning and testing was carried out with F159 and F161 models). At wind ranges above 12knots, it was totally outclassed. So, for an almost negligible advantage in wind under 12 knots (with 70cm fins), the price is,,,,, compromised performance over 12knots. If I want to be competitive in my formula class, I must now buy a board for when it blows over 12knots.
If the 35+ guys in our formula fleet all sailed in a series where the class was "Apollo", then my purchase would be relevant. However, not one other sailor I know is, has, or would race an Apollo in a "formula regatta" unless they had the luxury of having different boards for different wind strengths. And being the only one able to plane in 6 to 8 knots in a regatta with 35 other guys gets me nowhere. I can't see our race officials allowing the fleet to start because that one guy with the Apollo was planing.. (albeit without his 75cm fin)
I applaud starboard for constantly pushing the innovation envelope. I am a dedicated Formula fan myself, and one day hope to see the best in the world racing formula in the Olympics.
But please may I remind you all that I am the fool here. I purchased before I knew enough. The mistake is totally mine. Next time I will wait for more testing and feedback before I rush out and hand over my money.
At least if the IOC accept Apollo class, I'll be ready. Hee hee hee.
Still sailing, and still loving it.
Somebody on another thread was arguing case about standardising fins for board tests;then the board is tested ;not the fin.Another case in support of that argument ! (Which was ridiculed by many !!!)
Is it?,,,or,,, isn't it?
An apollo with a 75cm fin is an apollo.
An Apollo with a legal sized formula fin is just a big wide slow formula.
Interesting to see how early the F160 planed with the Apollos' 75cm fin fitted!!!!
From the promo that I read and the first reports of how the board performed, It seems to do what it was designed to do.
1. With the 75 fin or an 80 (Curtis made some of these), you have the earliest planing board around.
2. With the 70 fin in light wind formula racing, the Apollo should have the advantage in 6 to 10 knots, especially if you are a heavy weight (90kg+).
What else was it suppose to do?
I am using the F161 and Apollo for competitions. The Apollo fitted with a 70cm super powerful fin gives me the chance to compete successfully in light winds against the 70kg guys. With my 92kg/185cm I make the Apollo fast, high and deep. If you guys discussing here are in the 70kg/170cm range you are wrong in the Apollo topic for competitions.
Interesting point Pfaffi. I've "studied" peoples board choices for some time and generally it seems lighter people are more prone to choosing bigger stuff than heavier people. Logically, bigger people would have more to gain by going bigger to level out their disadvantage in early planing. But like in many other cases, human psychology dictates st towards rather improving what we are already good at than to focus on what we are not so good at. So, a heavy guy is less likely to give up his control advantage (by going super big). A light rider might be tempted to go for the Appollo to improve his already existent light wind advantage.

Ice accumulation made it too dangerous to cross in any fashion, the administration said at 11:30 a.m.

JACKSON, MI – Jackson leaders are $50,000 closer to relocating a historic lighted glass mural to the city's center, and restoring the 9-by-28-foot piece of art.
National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Jane Chu announced plans to award 66 grants totaling about $5.1 million and reaching 38 states in the NEA's "Our Town" program Wednesday, July 16.
The city of Jackson, in partnership with the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Jackson County, was selected as one of those recommended organizations and will receive $50,000 to restore, relocate and house a lighted glass mural, commissioned by Consumers Power Company in 1969.
"A national conversation is taking place around how to do community development in a way that is authentic, equitable, and builds on existing assets," Chu said in press release. "Through Our Town funding ... artists and arts organizations will continue to mature, refine and amaze with their work to make America a better place."
The mural, comprised of thick slabs of colored-faceted glass assembled into panels and synchronized incandescent lighting, depicts the story of power generation and distribution. City leaders hope to relocate the mural to a new downtown Jackson park slated for 212 W. Michigan Ave., the parcel where the former Consumers Energy headquarters once stood.
"This project is an important component of the City's larger plan to embrace Governor Snyder's Anchor Initiative and make downtown Jackson an attractive, vibrant place to live and work," Councilman Derek Dobies, 6th Ward, said in an email. "With creative funding options like the Our Town grant, we can continue the revitalization of our city."
Dobies spearheaded the proposed relocation of the mural along with other city and county officials – who applied for $100,000 from the NEA toward the estimated $225,000 cost.
Additional private fundraising is planned, city officials said.
The project includes the construction of climate-controlled housing for the mural's preservation and security, the reassembly of the individual panels comprising the mural, the reconstruction of the lighting sequence with LED lights for night display and the installation of the mural in a pavilion on park grounds.
The NEA received 275 applications for Our Town this year. Recommended grant amounts ranged from $25,000 to $200,000. For a complete listing of projects recommended for Our Town grant support, visit the NEA web site at www.arts.gov.

The May 8 Star-Ledger contained a piece about a bear cub that invaded the Ogdensburg Elementary School ("Bear breaks into school by smashing glass door"). The culprit managed to escape unharmed. Bear visits are not unusual in Sussex County. But isn't anyone concerned that the glass in this door broke so easily? This is a school, after all.
The article says the broken door will "be repaired later this week." I hope the replacement will be both bear- and child-resistant.
See, bears do good things: This one alerted the town to a weakness.

Involver - Online video marketing platform using JRuby-on-Rails on GlassFish
By arungupta on Mar 04, 2009
Involver.com is an online video marketing platform that allows brands to build, promote, manage, and track video campaigns on social networks for targeted audiences. The heart of this platform is a Ruby-on-Rails application using JRuby 1.1.6 served by GlassFish v2 UR2.
They found "pack of mongrels" as inefficient use of human and machine resources. After deciding on WAR-based packaging and looking at alternatives, GlassFish was chosen because of "well-defined public roadmap and release cycle" and "high degree of community overlap between JRuby and GlassFish projects". The admin console greatly reduced the setup cost which was another key factor for choosing GlassFish.
They use JMS queues to deal with "long running" tasks in
single-threaded Rails environments. They are very impressed with the
performance and big fans of the web-based admin console.
The detailed GlassFish questionnaire provide additional details on all of the above.

Samsung Galaxy Note II: Release Date and Comparison to Galaxy S3, iPhone
Samsung announced a new version of their super-sized Galaxy Note smartphone at last week's IFA exhibition in Berlin.
The Galaxy Note II (Samsung GT-N7100) features an enlarged 5.55-inch organic LED display– an increase in size over the 5.27-inch display found on the original GT-N7000. According to Samsung, the use of a 5.5-inch display allows the Galaxy Note to combine the portability of a smartphone with the multimedia capabilities of a tablet.
The Galaxy Note II also comes with an updated version of the S-Pen stylus which can be used for writing, sketching, capturing content from other applications and for precise input in applications such as Photoshop Touch. It also features a new organic design as previously seen on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the latest version of Android, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Power users will also enjoy the upgraded 1.6GHz quad-core processor (previously 1.4GHz dual-core) and 2GB of RAM (previously 1GB).
The new handset is due to be released in October so will be landing on our shores very soon.
What is the Samsung Galaxy Note II?
The Galaxy Note II is Samsung's latest smartphone to be equipped with S-Pen stylus functionality. Following in the footsteps of the original Galaxy Note (a 5.3-inch smartphone released last October) and the Galaxy Note 10.1 (a 10.1-inch tablet released last month), the stylus on the Galaxy Note II is designed to be used for writing, sketching and annotating digital content.
The Galaxy Note II has often been called a "phablet" in the technology press. This is because its size lies somewhere in that of a mainstream smartphone and a tablet. Mainstream smartphones such as the Galaxy S III and the HTC One X have screen sizes around 4.8-inches: meanwhile tablets such as the Nexus 7 have screen sizes around 7-inches. At 5.5-inches, the Galaxy Note II lies somewhere between a phone and a tablet.
Enhanced S-Pen Functionality
The Galaxy Note II comes with a Wacom-powered stylus pen for annotating content and for free-form idea input. The pen allows for high precision input and annotation of content from any of your applications. Unlike a standard after-market capacitive stylus, the S-Pen is stored inside the device and supports 1,024 different levels of pressure sensitivity when drawing or sketching. The device also disables capacitive sensing when the pen is in use so it is possible to rest your hand on the display whilst writing naturally.
With the Galaxy Note II, the S-Pen has been enhanced with a new feature called "Air View". This allows you to interact with the device simply by hovering your pen over the screen. "Air View" has also been integrated into many of Samsung's applications - for example hovering over an album in the gallery application will show a preview of all the images inside that album. It's all rather clever technology – Sony tried something similar with "Floating Touch" technology on the Xperia Sola earlier this year.
Other enhancements include the new 'S Note' application which is designed for sketching, drawing and making handwritten notes. Compared to the 'S Memo' application on the original Galaxy Note, S Note features enhancements such as shape recognition and the ability to recognise and solve mathematical equations. Handwriting recognition has also been enhanced in the Galaxy Note II with the ability to write in dozens of new languages such as Chinese and Arabic.
S Note is also available as a software update on the original Galaxy Note.
What Else is New on the Galaxy Note II?
- New "Organic" Design. The Galaxy Note II features a new "organic" design similar to that on the Galaxy S III. The new design features more curves and rounded corners. The Galaxy Note II initially will be available in two colours: titanium grey and marble white.
- Larger 5.5" Display, but Lower Resolution. Compared to the original Galaxy Note, the latest Galaxy Note contains an even larger display at 5.5 inches (this compares to 5.3-inches on the original). To accommodate the larger display, the aspect ratio has been changed into the 16:9 widescreen format (the original featured a 16:10 aspect ratio). This change has been criticised by some commentators - the original Galaxy Note featured 1280x800 pixels on the display whereas the latest Note features only 1280x720 pixels. This is arguably a step backwards.
- Use of Real-Stripe Pixel Matrix. Both the Galaxy S II and the original Galaxy Note made use of the PenTile pixel matrix (with 2 subpixels making up one pixel). The Galaxy Note II features a Real-Stripe pixel matrix with 3 subpixels per pixel.
- Quad-Core Processor & 2GB RAM. The Galaxy Note II features the same quad-core processor found on the Galaxy S III but with a speed boost to 1.6GHz. This should give significant performance enhancements over the 1.4GHz dual-core processor found on the original model. It also comes with 2GB of RAM which will improve performance when running multiple applications.
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The Galaxy Note II runs the latest version of Google's Android operating system with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. Some of our favourite features of Jelly Bean include the Google Now virtual assistant, "buttery smoothness" and an improved notifications system.
- "Popup Play" and "Popup Web". A new feature of the TouchWiz user interface allows videos to be watched in a "floating window" on the phone. Web pages can also be browsed in a floating "pop-up" window. These two features make it easier to multitask on your smartphone.
- LED Notification Light. The Galaxy Note II features a notification light in 3 colours. The notification light can be customised to notify you of missed calls and of unread instant messages.
- Near Field Communication & S Beam. Like the Galaxy S III, the Galaxy Note II features Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Using the S Beam feature, it is possible to share pictures, videos and music files between two devices simply by tapping them against each other. Speeds of up to 300Mbit/s are possible as files are transferred using peer-to-peer Wi-Fi technology (Wi-Fi Direct). With a suitable application installed, it is also possible to pay in shops and to conduct mobile commerce using NFC. For some other uses of NFC technology, check out our guide to the cool things you can do with NFC technology.
- Micro-SIM Support. Just like on theiPhone 4S, Galaxy S III and the HTC One X, Samsung have moved towards using micro-SIM cards on the Galaxy Note II. This means that you may need to replace or cut your existing SIM card when upgrading to the Note II.

Looks like a great phone! keeping my eye on the price
Thanks Kenlo
I do like the products that Samsung make, but I just really don't see the point in making a phone that big. It's too big to carry around.
Nothing wrong with a 3.5" screen that sits nicely on an iPhone 4S (of which I have one). Perfectly happy with it.
The Galaxy Note is definitely not too big to carry around. If you were to use one you would find after just an hour that other phones are just too small.
Looks like a great device - I wonder how many people will feel self-conscious holding it up to the head to make a call though...
Who knows could become a status symbol like this model

2. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (May)
It's Marvel's world, we just live in it. After the critical success of "X-Men: First Class" and "The Wolverine," it's time to get back to the core X-Men team. Fans who have been lamenting "X-Men: The Last Stand" (and really, who hasn't?) will have a chance to revisit the modern X-verse and hopefully see some "wrongs" put right, via "X-Men: Days of Future Past." This film might feature the greatest ensemble cast in the history of modern genre film, with the popular young cast of "X-Men: First Class" smashing up against the classic cast of the original trilogy. The film will see the film debut of fan favorites Bishop and Blink as well as the return of Storm, Kitty Pryde and Iceman, characters fans haven't seen in a very long time. The film features the long-anticipated debut of the mutant-hunting Sentinels, and features Peter Dinklage and his mustache as new X-villain Bolliver Trask. As exciting as all this is, the film will also give fans an idea where Fox will be headed with their superhero universe; perhaps the film will give the first sniff of the "Fantastic Four" or shed some light on the coming of "Apocalypse."

University of New Orleans Coach Joe Pasternack and Privateers fans knew this day was coming. Bo McCalebb, who Pasternack said was the heart and soul of his team, is no longer with the Privateers. He's in Turkey playing professional basketball after completing his eligibility at UNO last spring.
Replacing McCalebb, UNO's and the Sun Belt's all-time leading scorer, will be difficult. The task, as practice begins today at the newly renovated Lakefront Arena for the 2008-09 season for the Privateers, is to come up with a new identity.
The team has a daunting assignment for their first game -- a Nov. 15 home meeting against North Carolina State. The Privateers beat the Wolfpack last season, but that was with McCalebb.
Nevertheless, Pasternack said he and the team are ready for the challenge.
"We're all really excited and ready for the start of practices, " he said.
Of course, it won't be easy replacing McCalebb, who led UNO to a 19-13 record last season. He averaged 23 points and five rebounds. He averaged 24 points and five rebounds in 18 conference games.
McCalebb was the Privateers' leading scorer in all but four of their games, including their last 15.
"Bo was the heart and soul of our team, not only on the court, but off the court, " said Pasternack, who still keeps in touch with McCalebb.
The good news is the Privateers will be returning to the Arena. A $1 million donation from former UNO player Gabe Corchiani and businessman John Georges helped spruce the venue.
The low point of the offseason was the season-ending knee injury to guard Jeremy Johnson, a sophomore who played at East Jefferson.
"The injury to Jeremy hurts, because he is a wonderful player and a good young man, " Pasternack said.
With Johnson out, UNO will use a guard-by-committee approach with sophomore Justin Archie and juniors Darrian McKinstry and Destin Damachoua all in the mix to get significant playing time.
The Privateers will attempt to balance the scoring this season. The first option will be forward Kyndall Dykes, a 6-foot-3 senior from Warren Easton. Dykes was voted to the third-team of the All-Sun Belt men's preseason team.
Dykes was UNO's second-leading scorer (14 points per game) and top rebounder (five per game).
"Kyndall is a terrific all-around player, " Pasternack said. "He's done a great job of leading our team."
Pasternack also expects a good season from senior T.J. Worley, a 6-4 forward from Philadelphia. Worley averaged seven points and three rebounds in 30 games and started one game last season.
"I'm excited about T. J. Worley and his senior leadership, " Pasternack said.
UNO has five freshmen, including former McMain standout Charles Carmouche and McDonogh 35's Jahmal Burroughs. Pasternack said he has high hopes for Carmouche, a 6-2 guard, and Burroughs, a 6-5 forward, and both could work their way into the rotation with a strong month of practice.
Pasternack said practices will focus on defense and rebounding, because those are two aspects of basketball that every successful team masters.
He said he won't devote too many practices to North Carolina State because he has other more pressing issues. It's going to a month of hard work, and the team knows the first season post-Bo won't be easy.
"We can't replace Bo with just one player, " Pasternack said. "It's going to take a team effort."

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- St. Scholastica senior Alec French has been named the Division II defensive player of the week by both USA College Football and the Beyond Sports Network, it was announced on Wednesday.
French was also named this week to the d3football.com team of the week after his performance in the Saints' win over Martin Luther.
The Isanti, Minn. native finished the game with a game-high 21 tackles, which set a new program record. He also added an interception and blocked a field goal attempt for St. Scholastica in the winning effort.

Jabari Brown, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard ranked No. 22 overall nationally by ESPN, will make his college commitment known at 2 p.m. PT on ESPNU.
Brown, from Oakland, Calif., has size, strength and shooting ability, a potential do-everything guard. ESPN gave him four stars and a grade of 96. Scout.com rates him the fifth-best shooting guard in the country and gave him five stars and said he has All-American potential. Rivals.com agrees.
According to Rivals and other sources, Brown's decision boils down to two Pac-10 schools: Arizona State and Oregon.
But another Pac-10 school has high hopes, too. Some around Washington believe that Brown and Tony Wroten Jr., another highly rated guard, are a package deal and could be headed to Seattle.
Here's a highlight reel of Brown in action.

We asked Islanders, from children to seniors and every age in between, to share memories of the Christmas gifts they hold close to their hearts. The answers we got ranged from Barbie dolls to beating cancer.
Growing up in Brooklyn during the Great Depression, Gertrude Hendrick hadn't expected to get what she really wanted for Christmas. About 8 or 9 years old, she'd been pining over a baby doll sitting in the window of Rosen's toy store in Bay Ridge, which she passed each day.
Mrs. Hendrick, now 95, knew her parents couldn't afford the doll, so she was completely surprised to find it under the tree Christmas morning.
"They [my parents] did everything they could [to get the doll]," the Rosebank resident explained, "even though at the time it was hard."
Four-year-old Isabella Burmaster also said a doll — the Barbie she received last Christmas — is her favorite gift because "she has a lot of jewelry and clothes." This year, the Eltingville preschooler is hoping for a Barbie house.
Francesca Bifulco's best gift weighed a half-ton and has a saddle. For Christmas last year, her aunt surprised her with a gift certificate for horseback-riding lessons.
"I didn't know what to think of it [at first]," the 10-year-old Todt Hill resident said. "Then, I realized how much fun it [riding] was."
Twenty-eight-year-old Amanda Slavicek's favorite gift is from childhood. When she was around 10, her parents gave her a box filled with four Velveteen Rabbits and a Goofy doll.
Thinking that was it, she hugged the dolls and moved on, but her parents made her go back to the box and asked which doll didn't belong.
When she inspected Goofy, she noticed the plane tickets to Florida for a trip to Disney World tucked beneath his belt. To this day, Disney remains one of the Rossville resident's favorite places.
Mateo Gil, 12, vividly recalls his best present — more for how he received it than the gift itself. At 6 years old, he had to do a scavenger hunt with clues and obstacles throughout his Grasmere home to get to his air hockey table.
For his mom, Elaine, 34, owner of Bubbles Playhouse in Grasmere, a favorite gift is the black velour tracksuit her husband, Israel, gave her last year. He personalized it with lots of bling, adding the word "Zumba" (she teaches the cardio dance class) on the hood and her nickname "Bubbles" down the pant leg.
"He put a lot of thought into it," Mrs. Gil said.
Stephanie Harper, 18, also cherishes personalized gifts. Last year, the self-proclaimed "daddy's girl" received a gold-and-diamond bracelet bearing the name "Shorty," the nickname given to the 5-foot-1 Grasmere resident by her father. "When I look at it, it makes me smile," Miss Harper said.
For Eric Vokral, 22, who describes himself as a "broke college kid," clothes and money are the presents he values most today.
But one that sticks out in his mind from childhood is a yellow-and-black pedal race car that he loved. "It's something I had fun with," the New Dorp resident commented.
Daniel Taugher, 32, fondly recalls his first CD player, which he received around age 11, when he was just starting to get into music.
The Castleton Corners resident said it was the "greatest feeling ever as a kid" when he unwrapped the gift — especially since he no longer had to sneak into his older sister's room to use her CD player.
His best gift as an adult? When his wife, Shannon, said "yes" when he proposed to her around two Christmases ago, and sharing the happy news with family during the holidays.
For a few others we spoke to, their best gift was the birth of a child.
Denise Lipari's first daughter, Marissa, was born on Dec. 21, 1997. After a pregnancy filled with complications, the now 40-year-old Dongan Hills resident was happy to bring home a healthy baby on Christmas morning; so happy, she playfully put her bundle of joy under the tree.
Anna Garcia, 68, and Carmen Flores, 67, also are proud parents of December babies. Mrs. Garcia's youngest son, Edgar, was born on Dec. 17, and the Grasmere resident dressed him in a Santa outfit when she brought him home on Christmas day.
Mrs. Flores gave birth to her son, Raymond, on Dec. 26. "He was my Christmas gift," the South Beach resident said. "That's a blessing from God."
Last year, Debbie Parsons of Grant City received the ultimate giftt: Her sons, Eric, who is in the Army, and Will, who is in the Navy, both came home.
Between them, the two have served five tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and spent many holidays thousands of miles away from Staten Island.
Ms. Parsons' daughter, Cheryl, and grandson, Jason, also joined them for the festivities last year.
"Having all of them together, I just couldn't ask for anything else," Ms. Parsons, 58, recalled, noting her two sons, who now are serving stateside in South Carolina, will be back home again this year.
Joyce Fleming's best Christmas gift? The gift of health. The 72-year-old Rosebank resident has had cancer three times, starting in 1974 when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer, later followed by skin and lung cancers.
Around Christmas 1994, she underwent surgery to remove the cancer from her lung. The news she received after the procedure was the best she'd ever heard.
"They told me they got [rid of] it all," she said, adding, "You felt you were born again, like you had a new lease on life.
"That," Mrs. Fleming continued, "was my Christmas miracle."

Editorial: A dark cloud hovers
Over and over again, Preserve Our Islands says it's not time to throw in the towel. And surely, this homegrown, indefatigable group is right. Several judicial actions remain in play. An injunction to immediately halt work will be filed any day. Activism, letter-writing, demonstrations and more are still in the works.
The message is clear: Don't give up. Because once we do, Glacier Northwest has won.
We get it. And we agree.
And still, we need to acknowledge that what happened on Friday afternoon, when King County Executive Ron Sims said he had no choice but to give the company a notice to proceed, was a sad moment on this Island. Indeed, one of the saddest in many years.
Sims gave Glacier the green light at 3 p.m. At 3:01, crews were in the water, laying booms and prepping the site. To walk the beach that evening was to experience a study in the surreal. The sun was setting. A great blue heron spread its wings low across the water. And a construction crane towered over the dramatic scene, like some kind of monster devouring its young.
We applaud and uphold those who continue to wage this fight. We'll continue to report on their every action. We think they're remarkable — strong, determined, bright, resourceful.
We also mourn. Because what happened on Friday is what has happened over and over again in this absurd fight to protect the Sound: A consistent failure of will, despite considerable rhetoric that would suggest otherwise, to do what's needed to alter this ecological collision course we're on.
In a fitting gesture, several orcas were spotted not far from Glacier's site on Sunday. Why do we continue to soil their home?

Nebraska man injured when train strikes combine
An eastern Nebraska man was seriously injured in a weekend crash involving a combine and a train.
Authorities say 66-year-old Layne Meyer of Hooper was driving a combine to his brother's farm on Saturday when a mechanical failure caused it to roll down a hill. The combine came to a rest on railroad tracks, where it was struck by a Burlington Northern-Santa Fe train.
Dodge County Sheriff Steven Hepsen says the combine's brakes may have stopped working because of a hydraulic leak. The combine was knocked into a ditch, where it overturned. Meyer was ejected from the cab. He was flown to an Omaha hospital in critical condition.
Meyer was travelling west on County Road G in Dodge County. The train was traveling north.

I've had a long fascination with Lithops, although I gave up trying to cultivate them many years ago. Now thanks to the great info resources here on the forum, I think I'd like to try again, and this time armed with the proper cultivation advice. Before I give it a go, I could use some advice to prepare for what I'll need to do:
1. I just looked at a post Ian was addressing on the matter, and he said that Lithops should have regular waterings in fall and spring, with some watering in summer as long as it's not too hot. My heat waves are short and infrequent, so in the 90-95 degree range. Otherwise, my daytime temps average in the mid 80s over summer, and it sounds like a little watering would be okay as long as I avoid watering in a heat wave. I can keep Lithops dry in winter thanks to an effective rain shelter over my collection. Frosts are almost unheard of in my part of L.A. But not impossible, and if they're vulnerable to any overnight temps in the 30s, I can bring them inside. Do I have that part of it right here?
2. I'm still using cactus mix from the Califorina Cactus Center for certain things. It seems to be fine for my other succulents (all two of them), but on its own the mix gets compacted after repeated waterings. The CCC mix really needs a good amount of pumice added in, and I can tell the difference when the potting medium drains more freely. I think perhaps a 50/50 ratio of CCC mix to pumice should suffice. Any thoughts about whether the ratio should be different?
3. I have a very limited amount of space for my collection, but there's some room left for more plants. I'd be happy with a 5" pot I can allocate for a few Lithops. How many could I fit in the pot? Also, I don't know how extensive their roots are, so should they go into an Azalea or standard pot?
4. The CCC has a nice selection of Lithops on-hand. Is it okay to mix diferent species in the same pot? (As if you didn't already know I'm such a newbie! )
Thanks so much for sharing this advice with me, and it would be so nice to have some of these fascinating plants in my collection!

Large waves cause boat to sink at Kirkland marina
One boat owner is likely to be extremely upset after learning his or her boat sank in Lake Washington today.
Zachary Zerby, owner of the Undersea Mechanical Company in Kirkland, notified the city and assisted the main salvage contractor, Jon Dunato with Dunato's Towing and Salvage to get the boat out of Lake Washington at the Kirkland marina.
"This is how all these boats sink out," said Zerby, adding that there were 3-feet tall waves last night. "They all park the wrong way with the back facing out."
Zerby estimated the approximately 26-feet-long boat, which is registered in Oregon, is totaled.
"It's all ripped a part," he said, clarifying that the windows and seats were ripped off. "That type of stuff costs more than engines and transmissions."
Although the stern was completely submerged under water, "OR 643 ABC" can be seen on the side.

Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
The individual who assists potential customers at a car dealership (or other car seller) is an automotive retail salesperson. The salesperson helps sell vehicles by providing customer assistance, answering questions, and facilitating test drives. They also typically serve as the point person for the necessary paperwork for purchases, including arranging financing terms for customers and presenting them with available loan options.Read More...
Product knowledge is an essential part of the automotive retail salesperson's job, so they can offer clients information in a clear, informative way. Generally, dealerships expect their retail salespeople to educate themselves on the different makes and models of car being sold. The salesperson must be familiar with available options and other related sales packages as well. In addition to this product knowledge, the salesperson needs a thorough working knowledge of all warranties and coverages offered for the vehicles sold by the dealership. He or she should be ready to answer in-depth customer inquiries regarding such guarantees and service options. The salesperson needs to understand loan application and inquiry procedures as provided by the retailer and be able to provide financing options in detail to a prospective customer.
Most employers require a high school diploma or equivalent for automotive retail salespeople. Prior sales and customer service experience is usually needed as well. Automotive retail salespeople must be friendly, knowledgeable, and have excellent communication skills, as compensation in this position typically includes commissions on sales. Automotive retail salespersons typically need a valid driver's license and a clean driving record as well.
The consistently lowest paying firm on the list is Advance Auto Parts, Inc., where the median salary is just $19K — 158 percent less than the top paying company.
Survey takers who work as Automotive Retail Salespersons usually report a few specific skills. Most notably, facility with Negotiation, Oral / Verbal Communication, and Sales are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 42 percent, 17 percent, and 4 percent, respectively. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Customer Service. Those proficient in Customer Service are, more often than not, also skilled in Sales.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $40K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $47K. Automotive Retail Salespersons bring in $52K after working for 10 to 20 years. For some reason, Automotive Retail Salespersons with more than two decades of experience report lower paychecks overall; the median sum in this group sits near $51K.

By Robert Costa
(NRO)—At a quarter to 8 p.m. on Thursday night, House Republicans gathered in the Capitol basement for an urgent, closed-door conference meeting. The scene was hushed and confused. Instead of huddling in a windowless room, members thought they'd spend the evening on the House floor, voting on "Plan B," Speaker John Boehner's fiscal-cliff proposal. But as they took their seats and looked at Boehner's face, the reason for the gathering became clear: The speaker didn't have the votes. The whipping was over. "Plan B" was dead.
Boehner's speech to the group was short and curt: He said his plan didn't have enough support, and that the House would adjourn until after Christmas, perhaps even later. But it was Boehner's tone and body language that caught most Republicans off guard. The speaker looked defeated, unhappy, and exhausted after hours of wrangling. He didn't want to fight. There was no name-calling. As a devout Roman Catholic, Boehner wanted to pray. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change," he told the crowd, according to attendees.
There were audible gasps of surprise, especially from freshman lawmakers who didn't see the meltdown coming. Boehner's friends were shocked, and voiced their disappointment so the speaker's foes could hear. "My buddies and I said the same thing to each other," a Boehner ally told me later. "We looked at each other, rolled our eyes, and just groaned. This is a disaster."
Representative Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, a burly former car dealer, stood up and urged the conference to get behind the speaker. "How the hell can you do this?" Kelly asked, according to several people inside the room. A few of Boehner's critics told Kelly to stop lecturing, but most were silent. They had been battling against "Plan B" all week, and quite suddenly, they had crippled the leadership. Boehner sensed the tension, requested calm, and then exited the room.
Since the meeting lasted only a few minutes, several members, such as Representative Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, missed the session. As Huelskamp, a leading "Plan B" adversary, rushed to get there, he saw a stream of his colleagues exiting. They were on their phones with aides and family members, sharing the news. They'd be coming home for the holidays since the House was in a state of chaos. Some of them, however, seemed bewildered by the turn of events. They walked slowly down the basement hallway, whispering with other members. One freshman asked a senior member, "Are we really not coming back?" The senior member simply nodded. Almost everyone avoided the press. Feelings were raw. Representative Steve King of Iowa, a frequent Boehner critic, looked at me, shook his head, and said, "I have nothing to say."
Boehner and his leadership team soon departed. Kevin McCarthy, the GOP whip, who hours earlier was meeting with on-the-fence members over Chick-fil-A sandwiches in his office, left the Capitol looking distressed. So did Eric Cantor, the majority leader, who had spent the past two days wooing backbenchers. Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Budget Committee chairman and recent Republican vice-presidential candidate, strolled out of the Capitol with Representative Tom Price of Georgia, a popular conservative who has expressed his unhappiness with Boehner's cliff strategy. The pair declined to discuss the drama, but they both looked tired and frustrated.

It was a pain. The front was not too bad, shocks came out easy but the spring was a different story. Because of the control arms, there is not a good way to safely remove it so i had to pop the lower ball joints (which tore the boot) and used a jack to lower the bottom control arm off. The rear was the biggest pain. a 700ft/lb impact gun could not get my leaf siring shackle bolts off. we had to use a 5ft breaker bar. But it was all worth it. The "street performance" shocks are quite stiff.

Ick. Are they serious with this stuff?

Astounding. I'm not knocking convenient desktop access to Westlaw and other online products but it's amazingly shortsighted (pun intended...) given the role of librarians in purchase/license decision making. Thanks for posting the ad.

If she's eating a relatively normal diet, adding coconut oil will not put her into ketosis. Ketosis is not the same as ketoacidosis, a condition diabetics need to prevent.
My aunt is diabetic and since I've seen a lot of information about coconut oil being good for diabetics and anecdotes about from people who have used it in order to cure diabetes I suggested she try it. (Don't know if it matters but she had been taking insulin for a short period of time and was then told she could stop it.) However, her doctor said that it was no good for people with diabetes so I looked it up online. WebMd was contradictory saying in one place that MCFAs are no good for diabetics because of ketosis and and in another that coconut oil is good for diabetics. looking further I've come across other information indicating that coconut oil can induce ketosis which is not good for diabetics, because they already have ketone bodies circulating in the blood stream, although this is generally not true for type 2 diabetics.
Any suggestions or explanations for how to make sense of this?
If she's eating a relatively normal diet, adding coconut oil will not put her into ketosis. Ketosis is not the same as ketoacidosis, a condition diabetics need to prevent.
ketosis isnt necessarily bad for diabetics but they have to watch their ketone levels particularly if their blood sugar gets high. One of you needs to read more about it.
ketoacidosis on the other hand is invariably bad. being in ketosis of 6-8 and you get dehydrated and get a BG of 12 upwards usually means ketoacidosis can develop easily from that point. At that point (if you were daft enough to hit it ) you'd eat a high carb meal, take extra fluids and contact your HCA
When I'd had enough of the grain and starched based 'diabetic eating for health' diet (eating for health, my ass!) my weight was 242.5 lbs. On starting primal- 18th April 2013 weight : 238.1.
27th July 2013. weight after 100 days 136.9 weight lost 101.2lb ; that's 105.6lbs since I stopped the 'diabetic eating for health'
new journal http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum...ml#post1264082
So, is what I read about coconut oil helping to regulate blood sugar and being invariably good for diabetics not true?

What about this:
Medium-chain fatty acids are more suited for energy use rather than fat storage - and the opposite is true of long-chain fatty acids. Oils that consist mainly of long-chain fatty acids may actually decrease cell's ability to absorb blood sugar, which could cause or exacerbate insulin resistance and diabetes.
On the other hand, coconut oil can improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance over time. In addition to supplying the body with steady energy, adding coconut oil to the diet has been shown to increase the body's metabolic rate. An increased metabolism can improve the function of insulin while also aiding weight loss.
Coconut oil will not contribute to her diabetes.. so replacing things that do (sugar, corn syrup, bread etc.) with coconut oil or other food can only help.

Thanks for all your responses.
I agree that just adding coconut oil without making other changes will not have much positive effect.
Was confused at this point about whether or not it is even healthy for diabetics to use. But what you all seem to be saying is that it's basically fine from a safety standpoint but it's not the only consideration.
I've also read so many times coconut oil and diabetes http://www.juicycoco.us/beneficial-p...and-treatment/ thiis article for example, still I can't understand the principle how exactly it can lower blood sugar, and there is no scientific evidence to confirm that coconut oil really helps. Like the previous posters have mentioned, coconut oil alone will hardly help but I don't think it will do any harm.

Grateful Dead
To Terrapin: Hartford, May 28, 1977
By Blair Jackson
And the whistle is screaming...
3 Disc Set
Whether or not the fabled spring tour of 1977 was, as many Dead Heads believe, the strongest Grateful Dead tour ever, it was unquestionably a magical time stuffed-to-overflowing with amazing shows. Say the word "Cornell" to any hardcore Head and it means one thing—the 5/8/77 show at Barton Hall on the august school's campus. But there were numerous other stops on the tour that produced monster shows, as well, from the five-night run at the Palladium in New York, to the incredible Fox Theatre in Atlanta (5/19 was part of the two-show Dick's Picks #29), to the two Florida shows—Lakeland and Pembroke Pines (Dick's Picks #29 and Dick's Picks #1, respectively)—Tuscaloosa, Richmond… the tour was a scorcher from beginning to end.
What was up? Well, by the spring of '77, the Dead had been back on the road for nearly a year following their famous performing hiatus, so Mickey Hart was thoroughly re-integrated into the band, and the septet was hitting a new stride. There was a handful of great new songs being integrated into the repertoire, including Garcia and Hunter's complex, epic "Terrapin Station" suite, Weir and John Barlow's cool, off-kilter reggae tune "Estimated Prophet," and Phil and Peter Monk's rollicking "Passenger." Those songs would form the core of the album that the Dead were recording in the winter of '77 with producer Keith Olsen down in Los Angeles. Olsen was a sharp guy with good ears (as they say in the biz), and he worked the Dead hard in the studio, forcing them to play perhaps a bit more precisely than they were accustomed to. Now, one can endlessly debate whether the result of Olsen's approach was ultimately an album that was a tad too precise—a criticism even the band leveled at Terrapin Station—but all the laboring over parts and arrangements in the studio seemed to have an extremely positive impact on how the band played live that spring.
Which brings us to Hartford, Connecticut on the night of May 28, 1977—the final night of this Tour for the Ages, and the source of our latest release, To Terrapin. You'd never know from listening to this show that the band had been on the road for more than a month and 25 previous concerts, because it has that sparkle and intensity the band only had when it was fresh, feelin' good and in full exploration mode. From the rippin' "Bertha" > "Good Lovin'" > "Sugaree" trifecta opening, through the spectacular second set sequence comprised of "Playing in the Band," a brisk and buoyant "Terrapin," a fantastic one-of-a-kind "Not Fade Away," "Wharf Rat," and the "Playing reprise." Definitely the band at its best!
So, why put this out now? Why the hell not? And what's with all the questions? Just enjoy it. OK, aside from it being a classic show worthy of release, we thought it might be fun to revisit a concert played in one of the venues The Dead are hitting this spring on their tour—that would be the Hartford Civic (now the XL Center) on 4/26/09… why, that's the 31-year, 11-month, 2-day anniversary show of this epic '77 show! Anyway, this three-disc complete show release has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs from the original reel-to-reel tapes by Jeffrey Norman utilizing the usual array of mysterious black boxes and sonic tools unavailable to us mere mortals. Artist Scott McDougal, who's done such a bang-up job for us on the Road Trips series, has designed a beautiful package, and the always erudite Gary Lambert has contributed a fine essay which is accompanied by glorious photos of the band in Hartford in 1977. And because we know that in these tough economic times everyone could use a bargain, we're offering To Terrapin at the very low price of $17.98 for all pre-orders placed on dead.net before the April 7th release date. That's $2 under the suggested retail price. For the complete track listing and ordering info, click here.
What with RT2.2 and Pure Jerry I had forgotten about preordering this one till I just got an email saying it had been sent. Un embaras de richesses!
Although not advertised, there was a bonus disc with the new Roadtrips '68 discs. The shows are from the Northwest tour the weeks prior to 2/14 (although there is no Clementine on them -- what were they thinking?). If there is a mystery bonus disc with this Hartford set, I will be upset because I would have ordered it. Oh well, at least I am thankful for what I have.
For decades DEADHEADS have been on the cutting edge of music technology.
And here I still need to order a CD??
I recently set up for less then a thousand bucks a state of the art multimedia theatre and now to add these tracks I need to plug in a CD? WTF
My cousin just called me and said isn't it great that the GOGD has just released a whole show for $14.99 ! I said no it was $17.99 I preordered it thru GDM and now Amazon has it for $14.99 ? Why am I buying any product from this site? There is no bonus disc involved and I get ripped for an extra $3 because i'm a devoted fan and buy everything music wise this site has to offer. The powers that be should take a good look in the mirror and do something about their own personal affront on their community.
Thanx for the screwing !!
Earlier this week when Phil and Bobby were on, they handed out a copy of this album to everyone in the audience. I would bet at least 3/4 of that audience had no clue who the Dead even are and they get the album free. I order these discs just to simply support the cause so I guess I should feel good about it??
"When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"
I will certainly buy this, but I am not doing so from whatever now passes for GDM. Why pay for the extra shipping and handling costs without a bonus disc or some other inducement than a $2 break on the cost? The package will be selling at Best Buy for about the price you can get it here. The bonus disc is the perfect inducement to get me to order right from the source. BRING BACK THE BONUS DISC.
OK, that being said, this is an extraordinary show and despite a great matrix being circulated of it last month (one of the best I have heard from the '77 era), a remastered HDCD SBD version is certainly worth buying. Bring it on.
This is my last pre-order through Dead.net -- Amazon wins every time in these situations. They have responsive customer service, an awesome track record, and cheaper/faster shipping (free if you spend $25). So, like I said, barring some extrememly special circumstances, this is my last pre-order through Dead.net on commercially available items.
I'm ready to preorder. Is there any advantage to ordering here over Amazon?
Just want to take this opportunity to say again how spectacular these three resent releases are, especially when you consider the three releases together. We get one show each from the 60s, 70s and 80s, the 'emerging' Dead with Pigpen, a show from probably their best post-hiatis tour and acoustic Jerry...this really is something for everyone. Even those who prefer best of packages get the bonus disc from the latest Road Trips.
Thanks to those who made these choices and keep the complete shows coming!
...glad to see the Offspring of Jer have managed to get things straightened out.
Like others here I will buy most anything officially released, even if it's something I already have through "other sources" and even if Rhino & Co have a slight rep regarding quality issues both in sound quality and manufacturing. I figure my purchase helps support the cause, that's why I went ahead and preordered the Hartford '77 set along with the new RT and PJ issues. And getting the 10% discount for preordering through dead.net is pretty nice...
...of course, if I'd waited until today I would have seen the email I just got from Amazon, and I would have known to preorder the Hartford set from there and gotten a **25%** discount?
Now how does that happen? Members of the family here, buying straight from the store here, can't even get the same deal that we would if we bought from the big-ass corporation? Buy from dead.net, 10% off. Buy from Amazon, 25% off. My money's tight, too, those hundred dollar show tickets hit kinda hard.
That kinda sucks, honestly. Bet amazon's shipping is cheaper too. Damn, just can't win.
*The white zone is for loading and unloading only*
Well the cover image of the now-disappeared Road Trips image was based on the concert poster for the 14 Feb show - http://www.deadlists.com/posters/1960s/19680214a.html.
Some posters on archive.org have identified this as the release but I wonder if they were relying on the cover art to determine the show. It also seems odd that a Road Trips release would comprise an entire show. Perhaps the release is an excuse to release the tidbits that David L apparently discovered recently - the Viola Lee Blues and Dark Star encore from around the end of Jan/start of Feb 68. I forget where I read about that...

What's The Prognosis? Week 12 Injury Report (Weekend Update)
Wes Welker: Welker was concussed in last week's win over the previously undefeated Chiefs, and he will have to pass the NFL protocol tests before returning to practice. Welker's status is a bit up in the air until he is cleared (or not) for this week, but if he is allowed to play in Week 12, he has the extra motivation of playing his former team the Patriots.
Prognosis: If Welker does play, I expect him to do so with a chip on his shoulder, making him a very good WR2.
Update: Welker has been listed as probable forSunday, after practicing fully in Friday's session. Welker should be able to start against his former team, as long as he gets the final clearance to do so before gametime Sunday night.
Julius Thomas: Thomas has what the Broncos are calling a "sprain" in his knee, and is being called day-to-day. Thomas has yet to practice so far this week, which doesn't look good for one of the top fantasy tight ends going into Week 12. It could very well be a mild sprain, but Thomas not practicing coupled with the lack of information from the Broncos is something to be concerned about.
Prognosis: If Thomas can go he's a TE1 against the Patriots.
Update:Thomas is liekly to be a game-time decision, as the Broncos are listing him as questionable after being limited all week. Owners should have a backup lined up in the event Thomas sits out Week 12.
Miles Austin: Austin has missed the past few weeks while resting an ailing hamstring, but he is back and practicing fully this week as the Cowboys get ready to face off against the inter divisional rival Giants. Austin will resume his number two receiver role this Sunday, pushing rookie receiver Terrance Williams to the number three spot on the depth chart.
Prognosis: Austin is a WR3 coming off the hamstring injury.
Jay Cutler: Cutler is still being designated as week-to-week, but he also said that "the ankle is the problem" and that "there's a couple ligaments that we're a little bit worried about." The remainder of Cutler's season and possibly career as a Bear is in jeopardy, but the Bears continue to state that when healthy, Cutler is the starter (though that will not be this week as he has already been ruled out).
Prognosis: If no doctor is willing to clear Cutler, that is a pretty clear sign that the damage to the ligaments in the ankle are pretty severe. It's time to cut bait in re-draft leagues.
Santonio Holmes: Holmes was not practicing on Wednesday, but it appears to have been a rest day for the veteran receiver. Holmes is coming back from a hamstring injury last week after a multiple weeks off, but coach Rex Ryan said that "it wasn't really a setback" to that injury that had Holmes off on Wednesday.
Prognosis: Holmes should be fine for Sunday's game in Baltimore, and will be a mid-level WR3.
Jordan Reed: Reed suffered a concussion in a loss to the Eagles last Sunday, and will has yet to get the NFL clearance to play in Week 12. Reed is a much needed part in the Washington offense, after the news that Leonard Hankerson will require surgery to repair an LCL injury leaving only Pierre Garcon, Aldrick Robinson, Santana Moss, and a disgruntled Josh Morgan as the other receiving threats for QB Robert Griffin III.
Prognosis: Reed will need to pass the NFL protocol before stepping onto the practice field nevermind the game field on Monday night. Be sure to have a backup ready, as we won't know more until later in the week.
Update: Reed was not present at Friday's session, and it looks very doubtful that he will be able to play on Monday night. Reed could still clear the concussion tests in time to start this week, but with such a late game, it would behoove owners to find an alternate option, possibly Delanie Walker.
Denarius Moore: After missing three consecutive practices Moore will miss the Raiders Week 12 game against the Titans. Moore is dealing with a shoulder injury that will likely require surgery at some point, but the Raiders and Moore are still hoping to have that time come after the season.
Prognosis: Moore may return in Week 13, but the shoulder injury may prove too much for the reciever to handle .
Adrian Peterson: Peterson is questionable for Week 12, after missing a few practices this week . Peterson has been playing through the groin injury, and he should be able to make the start against the Packers.
Prognosis: Peterson should ba a a full go on Sunday, and will be a his usual RB1.

VEHICLE TRESPASSING-DISORDERLY CONDUCT, STATE ROAD: A Brunswick man, 33, and a Cleveland man, 25, were arrested at about 2 a.m. Dec. 2 after causing trouble outside Pioneer Restaurant & Lounge, 5221 State.
Police were called to Pioneer regarding a bar brawl. When they arrived, a witness pointed to a man walking toward the rear parking lot. The witness said the man had just announced that he was going to get a gun.
Officers ordered the man — later identified as the Brunswick resident — to stop walking. The man ignored police and entered the rear passenger seat of a car containing three other men.
Police drew their weapons and ordered all of the men in the car to hold up their hands. The driver hesitated so police removed him from the car and handcuffed him.
Officers then removed the Brunswick man and placed handcuffs on him. The other two passengers — one of them the Cleveland man — were told to sit on the ground outside the car.
The driver took police aside and told them he did not know the Brunswick man or the Cleveland man. He said they both had entered his car without permission.
The driver said that the Cleveland man had stepped into his car first and ordered the driver and the man in the passenger seat to hold up their hands. Shortly afterward, the Brunswick man entered the car and police arrived.
GUNSHOT-DRUG INVESTIGATION, STUMPH ROAD: Police are investigating an armed robbery that reportedly occurred at about noon Nov. 3 in an apartment building at 5934 State.
The victim, who lives in the apartment building, called police and said another tenant used a handgun to rob him in the hallway.
However, when police arrived, the victim was gone. Police called the victim but he said he did not want to talk to them.
Officers noticed a bullet hole in the alleged robber's apartment door. They entered the apartment and found an electronic scale with white powdery residue on the kitchen counter. The tenant was not home.
CASUALTY, STATE ROAD: An Independence woman, 23, was knocked unconscious during a fight between two men in Last Stop Inn, 6200 State.
It happened at about 2 a.m. Nov. 22. Two men were fighting when they accidentally pushed the woman to the ground. She hit her head on the floor.
The woman later complained of pain in her head and hip. She was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.
When police arrived the bar, the two fighters were gone.
ASSAULT, STATE ROAD: A Cleveland man, 28, was cited at about 1:20 a.m. Nov. 25 after he allegedly punched two women outside State Road Tavern, 5221 State.
The intoxicated had tried to start fights with several customers inside the bar. As bar workers led the man outside, he hit the two women, at least one of whom fell to the ground. The woman who fell was treated medically on the scene.
POSSESSION OF DRUGS-CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON, BROOKPARK ROAD: A Parma Heights man, 33, and a Strongsville man, 31, were arrested at about 5:30 p.m. Nov. 27 after police reportedly found marijuana in their vehicle.
Police saw the men driving southbound on Pearl Road. They sped left onto Brookpark and almost slammed their car into a police cruiser.
The men turned the car into the parking lot of Characters Sports Bar & Grill, 6007 Brookpark, and parked. Police soon determined that the Strongsville man was wanted in Parma Heights.
The Strongsville man told police he had a folding knife in his jacket pocket and marijuanna inside a cigarette box in the car.
Officers also found a metal tube in the car. Part of the tube was burned and contained a rock-like substance.
THEFT, RIDGEWOOD DRIVE: A shotgun, revolver and handgun were stolen between Nov. 14-27 from a house. There were no signs of forced entry. The victim suspects a family member.
BURGLARY, ALBERTLY AVENUE: Four guns, cash, a video-game system and a laptop computer were stolen late Nov. 29 or early Nov. 30 from a house. There were no signs of a break-in.
BREAKING & ENTERING, WEST PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD: A Meyer snow-plow motor and pump were stolen late Nov. 28 or early Nov. 29 from outside Royal Car Service, 10601 West Pleasant Valley.
THEFT, TUXEDO AVENUE: A GPS and CDs were stolen late Nov. 28 or early Nov. 29 from a sport-utility vehicle.
The victim said she had locked the SUV's doors. Someone apparently used a tool to break into the SUV.
BURGLARY, AARON DRIVE: A rifle, shotgun and cash were stolen between Nov. 11-27 from a house. Someone shattered a rear first-floor window to get inside.
BURGLARY, PARKLANE DRIVE: Four silver dollars, a diamond necklace and a ring were stolen between Nov. 18-28 from a house. There were no signs of forced entry.
THEFT, BROOKPARK ROAD: Tires, rims, radiators and batteries were stolen between Nov. 24-26 from a 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a 2005 Jeep Liberty parked outside Two Men and a Wrench, 3201 Brookpark.
THEFT, RONALD DRIVE: A cell phone, Social Security card, debit card, wallet and cash were stolen between 6-10:45 p.m. Nov. 26 from an unlocked car.

The future of filmmaking?
The future of filmmaking? These guys shot a short film, and posted it on the web. Most importantly (to me) it's downloadable and not streamed which retains the quality of the filmmakers work without hackin' the heck out of it with Real and Windows...

Delaying the recurrence of cancer is good. Leading to other types of cancer is bad. What if a drug does both? News of that possibility gave Celgene's (Nasdaq: CELG ) shares a 9% haircut earlier today.
A pair of trials showed that multiple myeloma patients treated with Revlimid lived longer than those taking placebo, but also had a higher incidence of secondary cancers.
Not exactly a good thing for a company whose strategy for increasing sales of Revlimid includes using the drug early in disease progression, and for a longer period of time.
But before we throw the drug out, let's put things in perspective. The increase could owe solely to chance. Remember, Merck's (NYSE: MRK ) Vytorin looked like it was increasing the risk of getting cancer, but that seems to have been shrugged off. Revlimid is also keeping patients alive longer, which gives them more of a chance to get another type of cancer. The secondary tumors might have nothing to do with taking the drug.
We also have to keep the side effect in perspective. Yes, getting cancer is bad, but the alternative -- having the multiple myeloma come back -- is just as bad. Unlike GlaxoSmithKline's (NYSE: GSK ) Avandia or Abbott Labs' (NYSE: ABT ) Meridia, where side effects outweighed benefits of the drugs, the extended survival on Revlimid could more than offset a small increase in the incidence of secondary cancers, even if it turns out that increase is real.
Celgene could be a nice bad-news buy, just like it was in 2009. Sure, there's some reason to be worried, since most of Celgene's growth story is tied up in Revlimid; the drug made up 70% of revenue last quarter. But I wouldn't write off Revlimid just yet, either.
