With clandestine meetings possibly bearing fruit, and an end to the NFL lockout rumored as being in the not-too-distant future, the ESPN.com fantasy team decided it was time to put a little faith in the negotiation process and hold our first mock draft for the 2011 season.
Using the rules for ESPN standard leagues, 10 owners gathered to try to figure out exactly which players would be the best fantasy performers for the upcoming season -- a process made all the more difficult by not yet knowing exactly which players would end up wearing which uniforms, as the free-agency period has thus far been put on hold.
The participants for this exercise in first-round order, determined at random, were: me, Pierre Becquey, Christopher Harris, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Jim McCormick, Keith Lipscomb, James Quintong, Shawn (C-Dub) Cwalinski and Dave Hunter.
Here's a complete round-by-round breakdown of our selections. I've outlined what my thought process was each time my turn came around, pointed out some of the more interesting picks made by my colleagues and identified which picks might be impacted the most by player movement to come.
My pick: For me, this call came down to Arian Foster versus Adrian Peterson, and given the uncertainty at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, the scales tipped toward Texas. The longer the lockout lingers, the more difficult it will be for Christian Ponder to learn the NFL ropes, and that has to impact Peterson. It's enough of a question mark -- one that Foster doesn't have in teammate Matt Schaub -- to make a difference.
The rest of the round: Ray Rice at 5 might be a bit early. Rashard Mendenhall at 9 seems late to me. Aaron Rodgers is first QB off the board at No. 10, which is where Keith Lipscomb wishes he had picked: "The first five guys taken were the only guys I wanted, so I was hoping one would fall. Once that didn't happen, I wasn't enamored with any particular player, so I thought I'd go with the best receiver in the game, even though I'm aware running back isn't the deepest."
My pick: Admittedly, LeGarrette Blount is a bit of a reach here. But at the bookend, I fully expected about a half-dozen, if not more, running backs to go before my turn came around again. I like the Tampa Bay back's ability to break tackles, and the fact that he shouldn't be facing any competition for lead-back duties. Sometimes you have to grab a guy you like early, lest you end up disappointed like my good friend Tristan (more on that below).
The rest of the round: No real surprises to be had, as most of the names here were near the top at their respective positions in terms of fantasy scoring in 2010, and/or are pretty much locked into starter-level playing time regardless of training camp battles. Had Matthew Berry been in this draft, I am pretty sure Michael Vick would not have lasted to pick No. 13, as he is on record as being incredibly high on the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback. Cockcroft began his campaign of "Every Pick Left Behind," as his target player, Calvin Johnson, just could not last that one extra selection. By the time this draft would be over, Cockcroft will have had to scramble several times, after Johnson, Mike Wallace, Rashad Jennings and Montario Hardesty were all "stolen" from him at the last possible instant. "Generally speaking, when it happens that often," he lamented, "I dislike my team in the end, because I'm used to it happening once or twice. But four times is rough, especially since the only reason you remember something like that is because those guys were the number-one guys on your board, and the fallback is considerably less valuable in your estimation."
My pick: Drew Brees had 11 games with multiple touchdowns last season, in what might be deemed a "down year" for the New Orleans Saints quarterback, despite throwing for 4,620 yards. He may actually get a healthy running game this season to help take some pressure off, and with so many teammates in attendance at his "unofficial" offseason workouts, this offense should not suffer from any lost practice time.
The rest of the round: McCormick went with Larry Fitzgerald, in the hopes that the talented wide receiver will actually have someone under center with the ability to throw him the ball. "The most likely and logical move appears to be trading for Philadelphia's Kevin Kolb, a player Fitzgerald has chirped about wanting to play with before. The risk for another season mired in a messy signal-caller scenario is there, but so is significant upside."
Becquey also took a leap of faith that free agency runs its "proper course" with his selection of Jonathan Stewart. As he explains, "If Stewart is the lead back in Carolina, then he's a steal in the third round. He's been impressive when healthy and given a starter's complement of carries, something which has seldom happened so far but is worth betting on for 2011, as a featured Daily Show has top-10 upside written all over him." Of course, the move could easily backfire if DeAngelo Williams were to return to Carolina, and perhaps Becquey will regret not taking someone like Mike Wallace instead.
My pick: Time to take my first wide receiver here, and Dwayne Bowe was certainly not going to last much longer, especially after finishing second at his position in ESPN standard scoring with 200 points last season. Plus, the Kansas City Chiefs were another team with good attendance at their "minicamps."
The rest of the round: Few players are as comfortable with their current offensive scheme as Tom Brady, which makes him an incredibly safe option this early in the draft. Lipscomb was certainly happy to tab the New England Patriot here: "I wasn't planning on taking a quarterback until Round 5 or 6, but once Rivers was taken I couldn't pass it up."
Antonio Gates, who nearly topped the tight end leaderboard even having missed six games in 2010, went to McCormick here. It's very tempting to take Gates off the board this early, but as the draft ended up playing out, there's no real reason to reach for the San Diego tight end at this stage. McCormick doesn't completely disagree: "I'm not sure 'reach' is the best label, but I certainly didn't maximize value in selecting Antonio Gates. If and when healthy, he's clearly a worthy asset. But when I saw Vernon Davis go in the seventh round, I felt that I could have diversified my roster more."
My pick: Why stop at just one receiver, when you can have two? Back in our rankings meetings, there was a lot of debate over DeSean Jackson's value, and whether he, Miles Austin or Dez Bryant should round out the top 10 wideouts. I actually prefer Jeremy Maclin to all three, so I was thrilled to get him here. Jackson certainly gets more trips to the highlight reel, but Maclin is a red-zone magnet and has a better chance to score, week in and week out.
The rest of the round: After taking Vincent Jackson in Round 4, a pick that carries with it question marks galore because of the uncertainty of the future of the franchise tag, C-Dub went with one of the best of what was left at starting running back, Jahvid Best. Personally, I prefer BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who went just two picks later to Roberts, but regardless, this might not be a blueprint to follow once the ink is dry on a new CBA. "My fourth-, fifth- and sixth-round picks are all big 'what if, wait-and-see picks.' Jackson will be a steal if he gets a contract or decides to play a full season. Best has the talent to be an elite back if he can stay healthy -- and the Lions adding Mikel Leshoure might actually end up helping him." That is, of course, if the rookie in question has time to get acclimated to the NFL before Week 1.
My pick: The New York Jets have said Shonn Greene will be the "bell cow" before, though perhaps not exactly in those terms, as Rex Ryan declared during the 2011 draft. But even if LaDainian Tomlinson isn't ready to be put out to pasture just yet, Greene was still able to post five games of eight or more fantasy points while sharing the load in 2010. If that doesn't improve, it's still not bad for the end of Round 6.
The rest of the round: As for C-Dub's sixth-rounder, he went with another newcomer who might not have the time to make a smooth transition from the NCAA. Still, as he correctly put it, "Mark Ingram has all the tools to be an elite back. If he is so good that the Saints decide they do, in fact, have a feature back in him, he will be a steal."
Quintong finally ended the Brandon Lloyd holdout with pick No. 54. It was a precipitous drop in perceived value for the league's No. 1 fantasy receiver in 2010 (203 points), which likely had as much to do with the fact that, collectively, we didn't believe Lloyd could repeat those numbers with Tim Tebow potentially replacing Kyle Orton as the Denver Broncos' quarterback, and a completely new offensive philosophy with John Fox now at the helm instead of Josh McDaniels. We'll need to see it to believe it, and we might not see enough of anything before we have to draft "for real."
My pick: Just in case the cow gives no milk, I decided to take a chance on Ryan Grant of the Green Bay Packers in Round 7. If anything, the lockout gives his torn ankle ligaments more time to heal, and although James Starks may well eat into his carries, that might not be a bad thing as far as 2011 longevity is concerned given Grant's recent injury history.
The rest of the rounds: Several "riskier" picks now start to go off the board, with Austin Collie and his multiple concussions, Percy Harvin and his troublesome, frustrating migraines and Kenny Britt and his legal issues. Then there's Marshawn Lynch, who is 100 percent guilty of being Marshawn Lynch more often than not.
* Mock draft took place prior to news of Owens' ACL injury and surgery
My picks: This may not be a year for rookie wide receivers to suddenly shine -- something that doesn't happen too often with full training camps. Still, the opportunity should definitely be there for the Cincinnati Bengals' A.J. Green to get the playing time with both T.O. and Mr. 85 (presumably) not returning to the team. Joseph Addai isn't a running back that I enjoy selecting here, but if the free agent isn't back with Peyton Manning, I'm likely to cut him the first time I need to claim someone off waivers.
The rest of the rounds: Cam Newton wants Steve Smith to come back to Carolina, but that may not happen, and besides, that might not be the best thing for Smith's fantasy value anyway. McCormick certainly went risk-reward here, because without a new uniform, his stock takes a severe hit. Meanwhile, Quintong went with rookie Ryan Williams, and in Round 10 he ended up taking another green running back in Washington's Roy Helu. Clearly, the backfield pickings are more than slim at this point. As Quintong puts it, "This could either work out really well or both guys could be absolute busts. While there is plenty of wide receiver depth, in my opinion, in the later rounds, the same can't be said about running backs." I totally agree with his assessment that, because of free agency and plenty of unsettled committees, after about the first 20 or so running backs, you're just throwing darts.
My picks: I went with Thomas Jones, simply because there's every chance that the Kansas City Chiefs end up using him again this season far more frequently than Jamaal Charles owners will be able to stomach. He's depth at the running back position here. Lance Moore is one of the many Drew Brees options in the red zone, but seems to get more than his fair share. I actually considered him a few rounds earlier, but hesitated because I own Brees as well, and don't love to double-dip. In Round 11, I couldn't pass on his value. Has Hines Ward's stock really fallen this far? I can't believe it to be true, and given the "hurry up and get ready" pace that may precede Week 1, at least early on, Ben Roethlisberger is going to continue to throw to the man he knows exceedingly well.
The rest of the rounds: Running back depth seemed to be on other owners' minds as well as my own. Lipscomb, in particular, was a bit concerned about the injury histories of his two primary selections at the position: "Having Gore and Hillis as my backfield could be fine, but I'd be lying if I said I was thrilled with it, since I'm not sold both will be able to stay on the field for the entire season. Ronnie Brown is a huge question mark, so what happens once the players get on the field will determine whether it was a terrible pick or a nice value in Round 10." McCormick chose Chad Ochocinco in Round 12, begrudgingly, since we don't know where he'll be suiting up this season. "He could either be reinvigorated in a new offense for a new team, or a veteran in pronounced decline." It's just another of the unknowns that might have had a clearer answer in prior offseasons, but is wreaking havoc with our projections in 2011.
My picks: With pretty much everything else on my roster filled, I needed to go with tight end and D/ST at this stage of the draft, and I couldn't be happier with Dustin Keller. Yes, he's a bit of a butterfingers, but he also had five touchdowns through the first four games last season. With only a little more concentration, he could well end up a top-five tight end -- and if not, it's not like I picked him "too soon." With my pick of the Chicago Bears, I get the benefit of Devin Hester's returns in addition to a defense that should go 35-35 in sacks and turnovers.
The rest of the rounds: Becquey grabbed a second option at quarterback, which is something that I'd definitely recommend if you didn't get one of the elite signal-callers early. No need to put all of your eggs into a single basket. As Becquey put it, "Once Tom Brady and Philip Rivers were off the board before I could make my fourth pick, I knew I'd be fine with either Freeman, Flacco, or Big Ben, which allowed me to wait on quarterbacks and load up at running back and wide receiver instead. Having two quarterbacks who were top-10 at the position last season in ESPN formats allows me to play the matchups, and provides a nice insurance policy against injury or a down season for either player."
As is customary in ESPN expert drafts, the final two rounds consist primarily of D/STs and kickers. For those picks that strayed from this time-honored tradition, it was typically to take a stab at a running back handcuff, either to keep for himself (Toby Gerhart to Becquey, Adrian Peterson's owner) or to use as a potential trade chip should the need arise, (Jacquizz Rodgers to me, not the owner of Michael Turner). Because tight end is fairly deep this season, Tony Gonzalez and Jimmy Graham were used to fill out Roberts' and Quintong's lineups in Round 15, after they chose to stake their claims to the defenses of the Steelers and Ravens, respectively, earlier on.
So there you have it! Our first mock draft of the year, albeit with a lot more guessing than usual. Even so, this can still be an excellent indicator of where we, collectively, rank the rookies at a given positions. It also highlights certain players who deserve your confidence no matter where the winds of change may blow them.
Now let's all keep those fingers crossed that the labor situation resolves itself quickly, so that we can get some of these question marks turned into exclamation points, and the fantasy season can get truly underway without any further delay!

August 17, 2016
August has seen another amazing hatch of anchovy larval. Schools can be seen close to shore and around marinas throughout Howe Sound and into Burrard Inlet. This bodes well for salmon, birds and mammals that enjoy this species as a food source. Fishing over the past couple of weeks has been decent and the biggest inhibitor has been the strong westerly winds making many lucrative fishing locations difficult to fish. However; Coho and Chinook have been present in lower Howe Sound, off the Fraser River and on the West Vancouver waterfront. Some have ventured across to Thrasher Rock and Entrance Island and found success there as well.
Coho in the 5lb range and Chinook in the 20-30lb range. Anchovies and hootchies are definitely the terminal tackle of choice. Depending on the location fishing 40-200 ft has been the winning formula. Anglers should head to Pt. Atkinson at the bottom of the flood tide and make their way to Capilano at the top of the flood tide.
A reminder that Coho with their adipose fin should be released.
Tight lines,
The Sewell's Team
Remember to get your fishing licenses online at: https://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/nrls-sndpp/index-eng.cfm
If you wish to retain salmon in any tidal waters:
– You must obtain a complimentary Tidal Water Sport Fishing licence AND purchase a salmon conservation stamp online: www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/sportfish
– Check daily, possession and size limits and closures online:
– All tidal area closures and recreational fishing limits and restrictions still apply.
– Record your catch on your license if you retain any Chinook.
If you already have a valid Tidal Waters Sport Fishing License, you must carry your license with you and record your catch in ink on your license for the species specified in your license conditions (halibut, lingcod, Chinook salmon).

The Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that its Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI) rose 0.2 percent in June, following a 0.4 decline in May.
According to BTS officials, the Freight TSI measures the month-to-month changes in freight shipments in ton-miles, which are then combined into one index. The index measures the output of the for-hire freight transportation industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland waterways, pipelines and air freight.
The BTS also noted that the Freight TSI at 97.9 was up 4.7 percent year-over-year. June's Freight TSI is down 13.3 percent from its historic peak of 112.9 in May 2006.
While the Freight TSI is up 4.1 percent year-over-year, the BTS said it is below the level of every other June since 1997's 92.4. BTS added that the Freight TSI has exceeded the previous year's level every month since January but it is still below the level of recent earlier years.
The Freight TSI is down 11.8 percent since June 2005 and is down 2.3 percent since June 2000, according to the BTS.

Bird Coloration, Volume 1: Mechanisms and Measurements by Geoffrey E. Hill
Book DescriptionIn this companion volume to "Bird Coloration: Volume 1, Mechanisms and Measurements", Geoffrey E. Hill and Kevin J. McGraw have assembled some of the world's leading experts in the function and evolution of bird coloration to contribute to a long-overdue synthesis of a burgeoning field of inquiry. In Volume 2, the authors turn from the problem of how birds see and produce colour and how researchers measure it, to what is the function of the colourful displays of birds and what are the factors that shape the evolution of colour signals. The contributors to this volume begin by examining the function of coloration in a variety of contexts from mate choice, to social signalling, to individual recognition, synthesizing a vast amount of recent findings by researchers around the world. The volume and the series conclude with chapters that consider coloration from an explicitly evolutionary perspective, examining selective pressures that have led to the evolution of colours and patterns on body and plumage. These functional and evolutionary studies build from research on mechanisms of production and controls of expression, covered in the previous volume, bringing the study of colour full circle. This sumptuously illustrated book will be essential reading for biologists studying animal coloration, but it will also be treasured by anyone curious about why birds are colourful and how they got that way.

Marshall McLuhan Responds to the National Catholic Register
Don't you just love writers who purport to criticize what some person or group thinks, but never manage to quote them? Mark Shea, a blogger for the National Catholic Register, holds forth on why some Thomistic philosophers look askance at claims of intelligent design in biology. Of course, we at ENV and Discovery Institute have been down this road many times before, holding joint science/philosophy conferences (see here, here, and here), writing books
and blogs (see Jay Richards's series on "Catholics and Intelligent Design," here, here, here, here, and here) about all manner of philosophical and other distinctions proper to a scientific claim of intelligent design. (For those who want a relatively painless introduction to some of the relevant issues, here is a place to start.) Unfortunately, Shea betrays no evidence of having read or listened to any of it. Instead he issues the kind of opinion a well intentioned person might form after perusing, say, a New York Times story on the topic.
The blog post is extended but here's the gist of his musings:
Intelligent Design arguments look at the radical difference between living organisms and non-living matter and say, "There has to be a supernatural explanation for these radical exceptions to the Rules of how matter normally behaves." But this is another God of the Gaps argument, and one whose holes have, in great measure, been filled in by Catholics themselves.
Reading this reminds me of the scene from Annie Hall right before Woody Allen brings Marshall McLuhan on camera to tell someone pontificating about his ideas that "You know nothing of my work." Regrettably, Shea appears to know little about ID.
Here is a very brief reply. No published ID proponent has ever said or written, "Golly, look how complex life is. Must be some sort of supernatural explanation for that." And, quite irresponsibly for a journalist, Shea produces no quote remotely resembling it (or any quote or link at all, for that matter). Rather, design proponents have carefully explicated how we ordinarily come to a positive conclusion of design from physical evidence (by apprehending a purposeful arrangement of parts, in my formulation), and show that sophisticated biological systems which have been uncovered in recent decades by the hard work of science fit those criteria to a T. We then demonstrate that, Darwinian pretensions notwithstanding, no non-design explanation for the elegant molecular machinery and copious genetic information of the cell is anywhere in sight. We therefore tentatively argue (all science is necessarily tentative) that currently the best explanation for those features of life is deliberate intelligent design.
Notice that, in fact, this is not a "God of the gaps" argument. ID does not argue from "gaps" at all. It argues from hard-won, positive knowledge of the foundational structures of life. It was a lot easier in Darwin's day, when the cell was na�vely thought to be a "simple globule of protoplasm" -- or even up to a few decades ago, when much less was known of the workings of life -- to imagine that random mutation and natural selection might explain the unfolding of life. It is the acquisition of positive knowledge about the foundational level of life that has exposed the utter inadequacy of Darwin's theory.
Notice also that nowhere in the ID argument is found the word "supernatural." That's because the scientific argument is not that God exists, or that the "supernatural" has "intervened" in nature. Rather, the conclusion is precisely and exactly and simply that parts of life have been designed by an intelligent agent. That conclusion is based entirely on physical evidence -- the kind that science restricts itself to -- plus the ordinary inductive logic that is involved in coming to a conclusion of design for any physical system. It is certainly true that a scientific conclusion of design may have implications for philosophical or theological questions (as do virtually all ideas about the origin of the universe, life, and mind), but those implications are logically separate from the scientific theory itself.
This should not be a difficult distinction to grasp. For example, one of the two Catholic scientists that Shea points to was the physicist/priest Georges Lema�tre, whose work helped launch the Big Bang theory. As Shea himself notes, the theory seemed to support a point of Judeo-Christian belief, that the universe had a beginning, and the theory was opposed by some scientists because of that. Yet, even though it had theological implications, the Big Bang theory was completely scientific -- it supported itself by physical data, not by Scriptural citations. Even less was the Big Bang theory presented as an argument that God exists, or that the "supernatural" had "intervened" in nature (even if only at the beginning). All of that is also true of the theory of intelligent design in biology.
One other distinction needs to be made. Shea has his ID impersonator conclude that "There has to be a supernatural explanation for these radical exceptions to the Rules of how matter normally behaves." Yet there are no known exceptions, "radical" or otherwise. As far as science can determine, the matter of living systems behaves identically to the matter of nonliving systems. Protons and electrons are the same regardless of where they are found. The chemical and physical properties of carbon in the cell are the same as when it is out of the cell. Life has its remarkable properties not because of any special kind of matter of which it is composed, but because of the purposeful arrangement of its matter -- just as the purposeful arrangement of, say, the iron and other materials of a lawn mower can cut your grass much more efficiently than a nondescript lump of elemental iron.
Gregor Mendel, father of genetics and the second priest/scientist Shea cites, was investigating how the matter of life is arranged, and how that arrangement allows it to work. He did not investigate how the matter of life came to be arranged in a way that allows it to accomplish sophisticated functions. Similarly, an explanation of the structure and mechanics of a lawn mower tells us nothing about how its parts came to be arranged as they are.
None of what I say here should be read as implying that the theory of ID should be exempt from criticism (good luck with that), or that its philosophical or other implications should not be closely scrutinized, or that Thomistic philosophers should automatically support the modern scientific theory of intelligent design in biology just because St. Thomas constructed a philosophical argument for the existence of God that is known as the argument from design. Rather, I ask that, in fairness to their readers and to the reputations of their publishers, critical writers take the trouble to become informed on pertinent issues and avoid constructing straw men.

A Nice Trip to the Forest
Kate McCaye
Disclaimer: Usual spiel. Don't own em.
Rating: PG for very very mild language.
Chapter 1
"I'm giving him another ten minutes and that's it," Jack O'Neill said firmly as he plodded uncomfortably through marshy, Florida-like swampland on P6X293.
His 2IC glanced at her watch and said, "We're not due back for another four hours, sir."
"Right little ray of sunshine, aren't you, Carter?" Jack said sarcastically, slapping at his own neck as he felt another alien mosquito drill into his flesh.
She chose not to respond to that comment.
Jack clicked his radio on and said, "Teal'c, report."
"We are well, O'Neill," Teal'c's voice replied calmly over the radio. "Dr. Jackson is hopeful that he will find something important in the immediate future."
"Yeah, yeah," Jack muttered, looking at Carter thoughtfully. Four hours in this unbelievably hot humidity. The only interesting thing about the entire day was the fact that the sauna-like planet had made her hair, at least the bit sticking out from underneath her hat, go all curly. He found this amusing, for some reason, especially because she seemed so irritated by it.
"All right, tell Danny boy he's got two hours, not a minute longer," Jack barked to Teal'c, clicking his radio back off without waiting for a reply. At Carter's questioning look, he shrugged. "Compromise. This way I get home in time for 'The Simpsons.'"
"You know, sir, I'd be happy to program your Tivo for you if you..." she started to offer for the fifth time since he'd bought it.
"I can program my own Tivo, Major, thank you very much..."
"Like you hooked up your Playstation all by yourself?" she asked in a suddenly playful tone.
The heat must be getting to her, he thought. At the grumpy look on his face, she hastily added, "Sir," with the cheeky grin that let her get away with a lot more than she should. Hmm, if Carter was suddenly in a good mood, even if it was only a fake one meant to cheer him up, he was going to take full advantage of it.
Ever since the Zatarc test incident a month ago, things had been so awkward between them most of the time; they had been avoiding any non-essential interaction with each other like the plague, both to ensure that General Hammond didn't further pursue their confessions and as self-preservation. Jack had missed the varying levels of camaraderie and teasing he had grown used to with Carter over the years, and wondered if she had as well.
He suddenly paused, leaving her to continue walking two paces before she stopped as well and turned to him with a questioning look on her face. She didn't bother to verbalize an inquiry, but her eyes widened in surprise at the sudden creeped-out look on her CO's face and the fact that he was pointing at her shoulder.
"On your back, one of those big things..." he said quickly in a terrified tone of voice.
The Colonel had confessed an intense hatred for bugs ages ago, so Carter only felt slightly girly as she yelped and hastily started swiping at her shoulder and back, turning around in place trying to get a look at the offensive creature.
After a few seconds, she realized there was nothing there and turned to look at her CO, who was grinning like a little kid waiting for the ice cream cone he knows is on its way. She narrowed her eyes at him and said, "Very funny. Sir."
"Thank you," he said with obvious satisfaction, hurrying off ahead of her again. She glared at his back and began plotting her revenge.
Fortunately, nature seemed to be on her side that day, and her imagination was not required to come up with a suitable revenge for her CO's juvenile behavior. Thirty yards away from the sight of the fake bug incident, he slipped on a particularly slimy area and landed flat on his bum in the disgusting marshy goo that covered a good portion of the planet.
His look of complete surprise and disgust as he sat in the sludge, combined with the fact that his sunglasses had fallen off his face and were now dangling by their cord lopsidedly, the cord having draped itself over one of his ears in the fall, gave Major Carter the best laugh she'd had in a good long while.
She was still clutching a nearby tree to keep herself upright as she laughed hysterically when O'Neill finally barked, "Major Carter! That's enough!" and tried to get up. Still suppressing giggles, she went over to him and offered him a hand up.
He had intended to accept the hand and get to his feet, he really and truly had. But then he had got an idea and in a split second decided he couldn't live with himself if he passed up the opportunity... so instead of accepting the hand up, he gave her a good hard jerk and she joined him in the goo.
After swearing like a sailor, she fixed him with a look that would have made a lesser man pee in his pants. Unfortunately for her, he found that the sight of her sprawled in the swampy sludge next to him, her hat now hanging down her back by its strings, her curly hair wet and dripping with murky water, her eyes bright with anger directed at him, and the blob of goo strategically dotting the end of her nose all combined to completely counteract the effect of the look she was giving him.
He burst into laughter loud enough to send every strange furry alien creature within fifty miles scattering in all directions. The laughter only made her look intensify, if that was at all possible. Still chuckling, he scrambled ungracefully to his feet and hauled her to hers despite the fact that she tried to jerk her arms out of his grasp.
Once on her feet, she wrenched her arms free and stalked out onto slightly firmer ground, brushing herself off as much as she could. He followed, trying to clean himself up a bit as well, although he really didn't see the point. Hurrying after her, he said with a big grin, "You look good wet."
This time he caught the full blast of the glare and fell silent, walking quickly beside her to keep up with her brisk pace.
Ten minutes later, she gave up wringing her hair out and plopped her floppy hat back onto her head, muttering, "That's it. As soon as we get back I'm getting a haircut. This is getting ridiculous."
"Don't," Jack said quickly before he could check himself. She looked at him curiously, whether due to the fact that she was surprised at his comment or the fact that she hadn't realized she had been speaking out loud, he wasn't sure.
"Sir?" she prompted. Oh well, he figured. Might as well go for honesty; she was still pissed off about the mud incident.
"Don't cut your hair," he repeated. "It looks good like that."
She looked at him skeptically. He noticed that there were still several droplets of mud clinging to the tips and grinned. "Well, okay, maybe not right NOW, but in general it's... oh fer cryin out loud do whatever the hell you want."
Suddenly irritated with the fact that between the two of them the compliment he'd been trying to give her had gotten all messed up, he sped up his own pace, so that now she had to work to keep up with him. Serves her right for once, he thought grumpily, suddenly keenly aware of an unpleasant squishing between his toes. His socks were wet and full of mud, at the very least.
"Hang on a second, Carter," he finally requested, stopping to swap out his socks for some dry ones. She waited impatiently, determined that it was some sort of victory that she was not swapping out HER damp socks, and took off before he was done re-tying his boots.
He scrambled after her and squinted as he got closer to her. It was hard to tell among the camouflage and various stains from the fall earlier, but there was definitely something on her bum, something that did not belong there. Not that he routinely spent time looking at her ass, of course. But there was one of those big mosquito things on it now, and it would be a crying shame if she was stung in such a sensitive area...
Carter jumped about a foot in the air as what could only be her CO's hand slapped her on the ass. "Sir, what the HELL do you think you are doing?" she hissed, wheeling around to glare at him yet again, her eyes and cheeks bright with fury.
"There was a bug on you," he said defensively, holding up his hand, which was smeared with the remains of the bug, as evidence.
She looked like she was trying to restrain herself from shooting him with great difficulty. Finally, after counting to ten slowly in her head, she turned around and kept walking. Jack wiped his hand off on his pants and tried not to laugh as he imagined himself giving Hammond a report of this mission.

High cholesterol significantly increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the future.
It does this by infiltrating the walls of arteries, creating stiff, disruptive plaques that can then rupture causing potentially life-threatening blood clots. A clot in the arteries supplying blood to the heart can lead to a heart attack. If a clot or rupture occurs in the brain it can cause a stroke.
Although there are medications available to help lower cholesterol, it can normally be controlled very effectively by making some prudent lifestyle changes.
If you have high cholesterol, you may want to consider some of the following lifestyle strategies to improve your cholesterol profile:
Physical activity
Regular exercise can have a dual effect on your cholesterol levels by reducing your TC level and increasing your HDL level. You don't have to exercise hard either, moderate-intensity activities such as brisk walking, active gardening and cycling can significantly improve your cholesterol profile.
A minimum of half an hour brisk activity, either continuously or in smaller intervals, on at least five days each week will be enough to produce results.
The three main areas of your diet to focus on for healthy cholesterol levels are fats, fibre and plant sterols.
All types of fat affect your cholesterol profile, some in a harmful way and others in a good way.
Saturated fats increase both your TC and LDL levels, so minimising these in your diet is the first step. Saturated fats are most commonly found in foods of animal origin, especially red meats and dairy products. They are often solid and visible at room temperature but also hidden in many foods.
Trans fats , like saturated fats, can significantly affect your cholesterol profile by raising your levels of both unhealthy LDL cholesterol and triglycerides as well as lowering your level of healthy HDL cholesterol. Trans fats are typically hidden in commercially baked and fried products (they have been virtually eliminated from margarines in the UK in recent years).
Unsaturated fats on the other hand will help to improve your cholesterol levels by reducing TC and LDL levels and also increasing your healthy HDL cholesterol level. Good sources of unsaturated fats include olive, sunflower and safflower oils, oily fish, olives, avocados, nuts and seeds.
Foods high in dietary fibre, especially soluble fibre, are particularly good at reducing TC and LDL levels.
Great sources of soluble fibre include fruit, vegetables, brown bread, pasta and rice, oats, porridge, beans, pulses, lentils and any foods that include significant amounts of whole grains.
Plant sterols and stanols
Stanols and sterols are natural substances that are sometimes added to certain foods such as yoghurt, orange juice and margarines during production to help reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream during digestion.
Regular consumption of these products can be very effective at reducing your TC and LDL levels whilst maintaining your level of healthy HDL cholesterol.
Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with slightly increased HDL levels, but the benefits are not strong enough to recommend alcohol consumption as a way of managing your cholesterol levels if you don't already drink.
If you do drink, then make sure you stay well within the recommended limits. Drinking at higher levels can significantly worsen your cholesterol profile as well as increase your risk of other serious health conditions.
The message here is simple - if you smoke, stop.
As well as being strongly associated with cancer and lung disease, cigarette smoke contains a chemical called acrolein that compromises the great work that your HDL cholesterol does in cleaning up your arteries.
Smoking also damages the interior surfaces of the arteries making it easier for cholesterol plaques to form.

Nothing irritates conservatives added than if Michael Moore refers to chargeless healthcare. Obviously, it is not free, and the aberration alone fuels the anti-liberal attacks that Moore takes on. Unfortunately, the political attacks don't acquiesce us to get down to the costs and a absolute bulk account assay comparing today's bloom "system" and a proposed civic bloom affliction plan.
Nothing represents added acutely our affirmation on chargeless bazaar attempt and antagonism than the way healthcare is delivered today. This is axiomatic in every political agitation for both parties. The Republicans back-bite "government run healthcare", even admitting their affair anesthetized the Medicare bill in 2003. The Democrats are proposing alloyed models, aggravating to bottle the angelic chargeless bazaar and base of the above players involved. While Medicare provides medical allowances for a badly growing citizenry that is crumbling and active longer, the blow of the alive association appealing abundant charge to await on their administration for bloom coverage. But the bulk of humans abreast insured is not as big as you think. In fact, about 60% of healthcare is about funded.
It has been declared generally that the barriers to alteration our bloom supply arrangement are political, and abounding acquire advocated an "incremental" approach. But afterwards about 20 years of social/economic abstracts aural the chargeless market, it's harder to brainstorm that annihilation abroad can be tried. The advancement trend of costs continues unabated. Bloom costs rose 7.2% in 2004 and addition 6.9% in 2005. The 6.9% bulk is getting heralded as a success, aback it was the aboriginal access aback 1999. The 2006 abstracts is at an access of 6.1 percent, a clip that was maintained in 2007. The bloom allotment of gross calm artefact (GDP) is accepted to authority abiding in 2006-2007 afore resuming its actual advancement trend. Experts adumbrate that healthcare spending will ability 19.6 percent of GDP by 2016. The nation spent about $2 abundance dollars on medical affliction in 2005. This accounts for about 16% of all spending. Average bulk per getting varies by report, but is now abutting to a amazing bulk of about $6,700. All of this with 45 additional actor still uninsured.
These exponential advance abstracts appear afterwards years of "Managed Care". Managed Affliction was declared to be the apparatus to ascendancy bloom costs. What is so arresting is that there was never any solid affirmation that it worked. Even as far aback as 1989, the Institute of Medicine accustomed a assignment force to investigate appliance administration by third parties and begin no affirmation managed affliction bargain costs. But that didn't stop the bazaar abode from the irony of accepting the clandestine area adapt bloom care. Managed Affliction can now be evaluated as a social/economic or Social Psychology agreement gone awry. If healthcare experts say it works, it reminds me of that old joke. The operation was a complete success, but the accommodating died.
Health advocates acquire declared the accessible for years. The bulk of decay in the U.S. in healthcare paperwork and authority costs added in dollars than it would yield to accommodate bloom advantage for all of the 40 actor additional who are uninsured. In added words, authentic admin overload, if eliminated, could save abundant money to breach the botheration of the uninsured. Aural the 60-40 public/private breach of U.S. healthcare funding, what you apprehend a lot of about is the delusion that the clandestine area is added able than the accessible sector. For years, the accessible Medicare arrangement has had authoritative costs of about 3%. Added than 96 cents of anniversary dollar is spent on absolute affliction for Medicare recipients. Clandestine area admin estimates are about 15%. A lot of Americans would never acquire the altercation that the federal government is added able than the clandestine area in carrying healthcare. Medicare gets a bad rap, attenuated by the all-around assessment that government run agency inefficient and that the clandestine area and for accumulation approach is consistently best. You don't acquire to be a Nobel Prize economist to ask the accessible question. If bloom allowance premiums are badly increasing, and doctors and hospitals are getting paid the aforementioned or even less, area is the money going?
Believe it or not, there is accessible assay which provides a bulk account assay of bloom costs. In 2003, the accompaniment of California instituted The California Bloom Affliction Options Project. This was an chip abstraction of nine altered models of bloom affliction ameliorate proposed by bloom affliction action experts. This included several organizations and advisers from University of California campuses in Los Angeles, San Diego, Berkeley, and San Francisco. Anniversary of the nine models proposed were again subjected to a microsimulation by the Lewin Group. These nine models, if beheld overall, bankrupt down as follows. Six models and proposals were expansions of the accepted arrangement and could again be declared as incremental models-seeking ameliorate in connected baby steps. The added three models were absolute proposals of which two were individual payer models, and the added was a bloom account model. The final simulation assay by the Lewin Group, showed that it was these three models that would accommodate absolute advantage for anybody and that were projected to save California's citizens billions of dollars in healthcare costs. The added six incremental ameliorate models fell short, abrogation in abode abounding of the behavior that aren't alive well. All of these models were projected to access costs to Californians. One of the six models proposed was a aggregate plan of an employer authorization and a individual accessible affairs for anybody else. While this aggregate plan came abutting to affair the goals of absolute coverage, it angry out to be the a lot of big-ticket angle put forth. Any analytical and abstracts based assay is clear, a absolute archetypal based on a individual payer arrangement would save billions and accommodate affliction to about all citizens.
High bloom costs in an employer based arrangement are killing our economy. In fact, employer sponsored healthcare is a huge federal tax break. If advisers had to affirmation their agent healthcare "benefits" as income, it is estimated they would be paying about $126 billion dollars in federal assets tax. In added words, clandestine area employer sponsored healthcare is absolutely allotment of a government backed bloom system. A Civic Healthcare Plan, by overextension out the costs to everyone, would yield the monkey off an employer's back. What will business do after this huge amount and added profits? Might they actualize jobs? Expand their business? Lower prices? Of course, they will acquire to pay taxes on their added profits, appropriately accidental to convalescent our unacceptable account deficit. Herein lies the seismic conclusion: A Civic Healthcare Plan would activate and advance the economy.

It is absurd you will apprehend any of this mentioned by any able reporter, or above media arrangement during the bloom debate. Afterwards all, a Civic Healthcare Plan is just not politically viable.

RHCS is using rgmanager in RHEL6. Pacemaker is in technology preview state (from release notes: "not fully integrated with the RHCS stack").If these are true, can someone point me to a run-down of the differences and similarities or point me to a document? How does this all relate to what ships with RHEL6?
I heard that Pacemaker is going to replace rgmanager in the future. (the source wasn't official! Maybe we will get some more official answer for this here :) )

Q: Any violence? My kids are more sensitive to violence than others. Considering this is about a war, can anyone give me any specifics as to what is shown. I understand that there's probably not bloody battles or anything, but I guess I'm asking about how much peril, death, and violence.
It's been a while since my kids watched this show, but I dont' remember violence being excessive. The focus was really more on the history and characters. It's a great tool for kids to learn about history.One of our product reviews for this DVD set states "My 6 year old loves it and the content isn't too intense for his 4 year old brother to be in the room with him."

private sector
Making things simple
The government takes a shot at procedural reforms to scale up private sector participation in the defence sector
Naresh Minocha
by repeated criticism over policy paralysis, the government is set to perk up private sector participation in the manufacture of defense equipment.
The government has, however, no intention to ease the security oversight of defence production units in the private sector. The security system in fact would be tightened for which an internal exercise is underway, according to informed sources. They say that proposed reforms initiatives have reached an inter-ministerial forum for consultation and decision.
One such initiative envisages scrapping the duplication of procedures in grant of letter of intent (LOI)/ industrial licence (IL) to companies. Duplication of efforts not only delays clearance of applications but also increases the workload of the officials concerned.
The foreign equity cases, for instance, are examined separately both by the Standing Committee on Private Sector Participation in Defence Production (SC-PSPDP) in the Ministry of Defence (MOD) as well as by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).
SC-PSPDP first examines foreign direct investment (FDI) applications and then forwards its recommendations to the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), Ministry of Finance.
SIPP, which serves as the secretariat for both foreign investment and IL applications, separately examines the applications from the foreign investment angle before giving its recommendations to the Licensing Committee (LC), an inter-ministerial panel serviced by DIPP.
It is now proposed to do away with the FDI angle scrutiny of applications by DIPP. Under the proposed reform, DIPP would strictly go by FIPB approval and forward the LOI/ IL application to the Licensing Committee.
Similarly, it is proposed to do away with the double clearance of IL applications from the security angle by MHA. The security clearance of applicant companies first takes place at the level of SC-PSPDP that has an MHA official as its member. SC-PSPDP thus consults MHA before recommending to DIPP to clear or reject IL application.
DIPP separately forwards the applications to MHA for security clearance. Thus, there is duplication of efforts in getting security vetting of applications.
The reforms proposal provides that MOD should forward MHA's and its own recommendations to DIPP for further processing of IL applications. DIPP would then not have to consult MHA.
has mooted simplified procedure for grant of extension of validity of LOI. The initial validity of two years is too short a period within which an LOI can be converted into an IL. Such conversion takes place when a company is on the verge of starting production.
An initiative envisages scrapping the duplication of procedures in grant of
letter of intent or industrial licence to companies
LOI holders, by and large, have to apply for extension of validity of their respective approvals, thereby increasing the workload of the LC and its secretarial staff.
At present, the applications for validity are processed in the same fashion as new cases. The validity applications are thus sent to MOD, MHA and the Investment Promotion and International Cooperation (IP&IC) division of DIPP.
receipt of recommendations from these entities, LC considers the applications. As put by a DIPP official, "the time taken to respond to such proposals is usually almost at par with that for consideration of fresh cases." At any given time, about two dozen applications are pending due to the intricate process for grant of extension of validity.
No one in the DIPP has any idea about the origin or rationale of this procedure for extension of validity of proposals that were originally put to comprehensive scrutiny. It is now proposed to substitute this procedure with one that requires consultation with MOD only. MHA would be consulted only in cases where CEO and or other directors on the board of the company have changed.
The government has initiated an exercise to prepare a comprehensive
framework for security audit of production process in private companies
As for tightening the security audit, the government has initiated an exercise to prepare a comprehensive framework for security audit of the production process in private companies and all its personnel right from the promoters to employees.
MHA has decided to constitute a committee comprising officials of MOD, MHA and Intelligence Bureau (IB) to identify products and production facilities in the private sector that would require regular security monitoring.
MHA's latest refrain is that all persons employed in operation and management of sensitive production units should be subjected to regular security vetting in defence companies.
This advice comes in the wake of MHA's finding that a unit of one of the country's reputed engineering conglomerates at Talegaon in Pune is currently besieged with security-related problems. These include extortion demand from local criminals and strong trade unionism.
For over a year now, MHA has been routinely stating in its recommendations on specific applications that the concerned firm would have to seek MOD's guidance on security audit. The guidelines would depend on the threat perception as well as the sensitivity of the products to be manufactured.
MHA also stepped up heat on the industry by making the applicant company seek prior, separate,
security clearance from it in case it enters into foreign collaboration. Such clearance would also be needed if the company's directors include foreign nationals.
Related to this stipulation is the condition that the prospective defence gear producer should put in place adequate safety and security procedures. These would be subject to verification by Directorate General of Quality Assurance in MOD.
This, in effect, necessitates existing private sector players to seek MHA clearance. Cautious companies have thus applied for security clearances. There is thus a pile-up of applications on this count. What is more, there is no time-frame for grant of such security clearance by MHA.
LC would shortly discuss this issue and might agree to a statutory declaration from companies that they would conform to security procedures as and when they are put in place.
Industry sources say that these initiatives are welcome but are not adequate to put private sector participation in the defence sector on a high trajectory.
They say that the government should give serious consideration to the recommendations and issues listed by a report prepared by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) at the behest of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in March 2012. The report captioned 'Creating a Vibrant Domestic Defence Manufacturing Sector', for instance, has called for removal of procedural disadvantages faced by private sector in defence equipment planning and purchases.
"If India is to achieve its strategic objective of 70–80 per cent domestic supply in defence, then it needs to rapidly grow its existing industrial base. This would represent an effective reversal of historic trends with the local industry needing to more than double in size in five years," the report says.

The modernist little hatch is even available with a 650cc two-cylinder gas engine with 34 horsepower to act as a range-extender for those who want it. However, that optional engine might have a drawback – at least for the moment.

Except that football player will have a hard time pushing the car 60 miles or so once the battery runs out.

The BMW i3 has been one of the most-teased plug-in vehicle concepts in recent memory. Since BMW first unveiled the car (along with the i8) back in mid-2011, we've had the promotional "Born Electric" tour, auto show appearances and, just the other day, a production version teaser image. And let's not forget the MegaCity project before that. We understand if you're sick of all the previews and just want to see the darn thing already. To which BMW says, hold on.

It's no secret that the BMW i3 has a spot in the powertrain bay reserved for a gasoline engine range extender. Given that the i3 city car is available as a pure electric vehicle, how does an additional liquid fuel powerplant fit into the picture? Green Car Reports recently wondered out loud about this very thing, and that prompted us to ask BMW directly. Turns out, opting for the peace of mind that, to some, gasoline offers will indeed give you more range, but it won't allow the i3 to make the d

BMW is looking to stave off electric vehicle range anxiety with a new program that offers buyers a free gasoline loaner with every i3 purchase. Ward's Auto reports BMW is confident that the EV will give buyers the kind of transportation they need for 90 percent of their trips. The loaners, meanwhile, will be available for those few occasions when drivers need to cover more ground than the machine's batteries will allow.

KSPG is 100-year-old automotive supplier that could, if it wanted to, produce a complete engine. That's not the company's plan, though, since it doesn't want to compete against its many customers. Therefore, the range extender concept engine that KSPG had on display at the Detroit Auto Show is something a bit new and different, both for the company and for the industry. It is a complete engine, but not one designed to power a car on its own. Instead, it is ready to be dropped into someone's EV t
