Post subject: Bufallo Bills Season Preview
Buffalo Bills
Last year, the Bills came on strong after a slow start and posted a 8-2 record from week 8 on. Of those 8 wins they won 4 by 20 points or more, and 3 by 10 or more. They were truly dominant down that stretch, with their only 2 losses being against the Steelers and Patriots, who only lost a combined 3 games all season. But the Bills second-half surge was all for naught, as they couldnt overcome their 0-4 start and missed the playoffs. Their team had two strong points. One, which they always had, was a strong defense. The other was a great running game, which they only got when Willis McGahee took over the starter. The Bills would be a trendy pick to follow up on last years success and have a strong season if not for the fact that they lost several key players this offseason.
Key to the Bills dominant defense has long been their two mammoth run stuffers at DT. With Pat Williams and Sam Adams consistently collapsing the pocket and drawing multiple blockers, all the other defenders jobs were made much easier. But with Pat Williams now departed to Minnesota, the Bills have lost a key piece of their defense and even if Ron Edwards has a good year starting in Pat Williams place, he cant replace Williams. While Edwards has great size, he is more of a disruptive type DT than a run-anchor, which means the Bills defense will change. Edwards could be something special because its rare that someone with his size has that kind of disruptive ability. They also have Tim Anderson, who also has pretty good size and disruptive ability. But he lacks the athleticism of Edwards and doesnt have the closing burst to consistently make plays in the backfield.
The next stage of the Bills defense is their excellent group of linebackers. Takeo Spikes is an enforcer and a playmaker. Last year, he forced 4 fumbles, finished among the league leaders in passes defended, and intercepted 5 passes, returning 2 of them for TDs. He is a powerful run-stopper and also excels in coverage, making him one of the elite OLBs in the game. Their MLB, London Fletcher isnt quite a pro-bowler, but he is one of the most productive LBs every year, always among the league leaders in tackles. Jeff Posey doesnt get a lot of press but this undrafted journeyman has proved to be an extremely solid player.
The final layer of the Bills defense is just as strong as the other ones. Nate Clements has emerged as one of the best CBs in the league, displaying great coverage ability and playmaking ability. He is very active and with his 6 foot, 210 pound frame, he isnt shy about tackling. While he is a physical CB that gets as many tackles as almost any CB, he is also a lockdown corner that makes plays on the ball, as shown by his 6 interceptions and 5 fumbles forces. With another good year, Clements could solidify his status as a top 5 CB. The Bills also have an two great safeties. Their SS, Lawyer Milloy, is a powerful hitter and an intimidating presence that scares WRs out of the middle of the field. Troy Vincent, who was a pro-bowl CB when he was on the Eagles, switched to FS midway through his first season on the Bills. He has lost a step, but he is a veteran who knows the game and because of his size, the transition to safety is easy for him. They do have a little bit of a hole at CB after Clements. Terrence McGee is expected to start, but he is really known for kick returning and is undersized. They also have Kevin Thomas as a backup, but in general dont have good depth at CB and are weak at the position after Clements.
The Bills might seem to have a hole at pass-rusher, because they dont have any one player who really puts a lot of heat on the QB. Their team sack leader was Aaron Schobel with 8, and he was their only player with over 5 sacks. But the Bills as a team were great at putting heat on the QB and finished fourth in the league in sacks. They had 8 different players with 3 or more sacks and had players from all different positions putting heat on the QB. This can be attributed to good coaching and blitz packages, the blocking that their front 4 alone took up, and also just having players with good blitzing ability. So despite the lack of a standout pass-rusher, the Bills defense as a whole was one of the best at putting pressure on the QB last season and whether or not they can keep that up will be a major determining factor on their success this year.
Offensively, the Bills lost some key players. First and foremost, they cut Drew Bledsoe and second-year pro JP Lossman, who has a total of 5 career passing attempts, will be thrown into the fire. There is a lot to like about Lossman because of his mobility, athleticism and arm strength. But Lossman also is not a very composed pocket passer and isnt good at things like making pre-snap reads and looking safeties off, which will take time to learn. Unfortunately, Lossman has no time to learn and he will have to perform immediately or the Bills will end up in the same hole that kept them out of the playoffs last year. To make matter worse, they lost their LT, Jonas Jennings, and didnt do anything to replace him. They will now have to Mike Gandy at LT and he probably wont do too well in protection. With Lossman essentially being a rookie because he missed his rookie season due to injury, he is in for a huge challenge trying to be a successful QB right away with a LT who will most likely be a liability in protection. Its hard enough for any QB to deal with that, much less a young QB trying to adjust to the NFL. It could be an ugly year for JP Lossman that will remind us of David Carrs record-setting 76-sack rookie campaign.
But there is hope for the offense and the team because of Willis McGahee. McGahee is a powerful runner with tremendous speed and quickness. At 230 pounds, only power backs such as Jamal Lewis and Jerome Bettis have more size than McGahee. But McGahee isnt just powerful and fast, he has all the makings of a great back. In his first active year in the NFL, he displayed field vision that is second to none. While he can use his power to grind out short runs and fall forward at the end of runs, he is a very slippery runner who can effectively bounce it outside and beat defenders to the corner. In the open field, he has great moves and a second gear that he can turn on and burn defenders with. And near the endzone, he is money and always finds a way to get in. McGahee does need to improve as a blocker and receiver, but as a pure runner, he is emerging as one of the best. His stats werent incredible, particularly his 4.0 yards per carry average, but behind his horrid line, who can blame him. He does have one of the leagues best blocking fullbacks on his side, Daimon Shelton, which should help his cause. McGahee is the reason the Bills have a legitimate playoff shot, and I expect McGahee to be on the MVP ballot come December.
The offense also boasts a good group of receiver. Eric Moulds is declining a little bit, but nonetheless he still consistently draws double-teams and can be a quarterbacks best friend. Second-year pro Lee Evans is the perfect complement to Moulds. Evans does not have the size or physicality of Moulds and he is not a go-to guy. But he is a big-play machine who uses his blazing speed to turn catches into big gains and get open downfield. His 17.6 yards per reception average was sixth in the league and he turned out to be an excellent replacement for Peerless Price. Josh Reed, who was picked at the beginning of the 2nd round in 2002 has basically been a bust. He does not have speed to stretch the field, doesnt have the leaping ability or height to win jump balls, isnt very big and sometimes has a hard time escaping the jam. That being said, he has great hands, is great at finding soft spots in coverage and is comfortable going across the middle, making him a useful possession slot receiver. Rookie Roscoe Parrish is also expected to make an impact. He was a productive receiver in college and has blazing speed. He isnt much of a threat in the deep game because he is undersized, but he is a big play threat once the ball is in his hands because of his speed and elusiveness and he has great hands and is comfortable going across the middle. Parrish and Reed will be used as slot receivers with somewhat different roles. Reed as more of a possession receiver used to pick up short gains and Parrish as a big-play threat. Their TE, Mark Campbell doesnt bring much to the table as a receiver. He is more of a blocker than anything else and is only a threat in the short passing game. Rookie TE Kevin Everett, who has excellent receiving ability, got injured during minicamps and might not be fully recovered until next year.
Their O-line is an extremely weak unit. It was already bad before losing LT Jonas Jennings to free agency. The one good player they have is RT Mike Williams, who is a mauler. They did well to sign Bennie Anderson, a powerful guard who has spent his career blocking for Jamal Lewis in Baltimore. Chris Villarrial is a blue-collar type guard who is better at run-blocking than pass-blocking. Both Anderson and Villarrial lack athleticism and neither is great in space, but theyre both strong and tough. Their center Trey Teague is a solid starter with good skills and they even considered moving him to LT which speaks to his skills. As said before, Mike Gandy at LT could be a disaster for the Bills as he will probably have a tough time dealing with responsibility of protecting the QBs weak side. They have some decent backups on the O-line in Ross Tucker and Lawrence Smith, both of whom started several games for the Bills last year. But both of them play the interior line and the Bills dont have any good OT backups to speak of.
Across the board, the Bills dont really have great depth. They dont have a good backup to one of their linebackers. All three are workhorses that rarely get injured or take plays off, but its still not a good idea to be that thin at a position that most teams try to stay at least 5 or 6 deep at. Their secondary isnt deep either, as they dont have good backup corner and only have one passable backup safety in Coy Wire. Their D-line has a few good backups in Tim Anderson, Ryan Denney and George Gause. And very importantly, they have a good backup QB in Kelly Holcomb. The guy has been known to step in and win as a backup before, and with the way Lossman is primed to get killed this year, Holcomb will probably see some playing time. They also have Shane Mathews as a third stringer, should injuries take them that far, which they easily could. At HB, they have Lionel Gates as a backup and with Travis Henry not expected to play for the team, that means the load will basically be on McGahee. That makes some people nervous considering the injury McGahee is coming back from, but McGahee seems completely recovered and he should be able to shoulder the load.
On special teams, they have Rian Lindell, a kicker who is reliable from short distance but cant be relied on for kicks past 40 yards and one of the better punters in the league, Brian Moorman. Their return game is excellent with pro-bowl KR Terrence McGee and while Nate Clements was a solid option at punt returner last year, Roscoe Parrish will probably take over that job and allow Clements to focus on just defense. They also have good coverage teams, giving them a very solid special teams unit.
The Bills are definetely a potential playoff team because of their defense and running games. They do have some problems that they will have to overcome and I dont think theyre a threat to win their division unless the Patriots struggle. However, I do expect them to fight for a wild card spot in the crowded AFC and if McGahee has an MVP caliber season and the defense and special teams play like they did in the second half last year, this could be one of the leagues top teams.

ARENA ROCK II: Alan Earman squandered his youth. His dad, Clint Earman, was building supervisor at the Long Beach Arena from 1964 through 1984, so Alan could have attended every rock show. "I wasn't into it at the time," mourns Alan. "I was into drag racing."
We won't rub it in with a litany of what he missed and, to his credit, Alan did manage to catch a few great shows, including the legendary Who concert in 1971 and the Elvis Presley show in 1972.
"After we saw Elvis, we went into Dad's office and Col. Tom Parker came in and gave him a stack of envelopes. He said, `The top one is yours, the rest are for your workers.' My dad says, `I can't accept that,' and Parker said, `No, Elvis insists.' There was a $100 bill for my dad and $50 bills for the workers. My mom and dad went out and bought nice silverware and plates with the money. We had them for years. We called them our Elvis plates."
The Who experience was totally weird. "Stan Mack was in charge of the ticket sales back then, and Dad asked Stan if he could get some tickets for me. Stan said, `He can have as many as he wants."'
Alan, who wasn't shy apparently, asked for 100. And Mack came through, so Alan got all his drag-racing fans and their dates into the show. Plus, he scored a few backstage passes so he could bring his two dates (when you get backstage passes to great rock shows you're in homecoming queen territory when it comes to getting a date, or two).
Because he was into drag-racing photography at the time, Alan had his Hasselblad camera with him backstage and Who guitarist Pete Townshend, already famously irritated that night, went ballistic on the youngster, jabbing him in the chest with his finger and roaring "No photography!" at him.
More Long Beach Arena musical memories on the eve of the building's 50th anniversary:
"My favorite memory was the instant in November 1974 when the original Deep Purple opened in the darkened Arena with Richie Blackmore's Stratocaster blaring out `Burn,"' writes Eric Boyd. "I still go back to that moment 38 years ago as a ninth-grader at Stanford Junior High with my first girlfriend next to me when I hear Deep Purple. That was Long Beach at its finest."
A couple of readers recalled Elvis Costello's Valentine's Day show in 1979, when Costello and the Attractions, according to Dennis Morawaski, "did about two hours from their first three albums. The most memorable part of that evening was after the show, when, recalls Morawaski, "they had pretty girls handing out pink vinyl 45s of Costello singing `My Funny Valentine."'
The mighty Neil Young appeared a couple of times at the Arena, including a stop in 1974, with surprise guests David Crosby and Graham Nash, and again in 1986 with a Get Tough On Toxins benefit show with a great cast that included Don Henley, Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell.
A few readers remembered the DEVO New Year's Eve show in 1978 at the Arena, which, incidentally, was our moment of greatest shame as a young rock critic - this was back in the days when we were stupid, not like now. The band X was supposed to be the opening act, but instead, a group called Dove opened the show. Kurt Benbenek, of the immortal band the Shatners, recalls that Dove "played a few easy-listening versions of some DEVO hits and the singer exhorted the crowd to clap along - it was like a mini-religious revival." We panned the show in the next day's newspaper, and ridiculed the opening act which, because we were anagram-challenged - and remember, we were stupid back then - we didn't realize was DEVO itself. Shut up.
Reader Paul Bent didn't have a particularly favorite moment, but he writes: "I'm amazed at how many of these acts are still playing (in one form or another). Obviously the greatest era of rock 'n' roll ever."
Finally, while reader Steven Deeble did give a nod to a Kansas/Cheap Trick New Year's Eve show, a Molly Hatchet/Outlaws concert and the Clash show, which he saw "from the giant mosh pit where some punks tried to set my Framptonesque hair afire with a Bic lighter," he finishes with the Chairman of the Board: "I think that concert outdid them all. I remember Frank Sinatra paused to toast his sponsor Chivas Regal and lit a cigarette," recalls Deeble. "A portion of the crowd booed. Ol' Blue Eyes turned and looked sharply at the audience. `You don't like it?' he asked. `You can leave.' Resounding applause."
Thursday: The Arena Turns 50 (nonrock version).

Hi all,
please can someone give me a "Dummies Guide to T5's"
What they do, what they are, are they illegal, are they safe? etc etc
Lads at the gym refer to them as fat burners, so I assume they burn fat! :-) But I know nothing about these sort of supplements (are they supplements in the usual sense?)
Can anyone give me a bit of a summary about them. I hear conflicting reports about their safety etc
Many Thanks

after i add in the power of the router plus the antenna i attached, it comes out to 43 dbm. i now get great coverage all the way across the house and in the backyard, but is it enough to affect anything healthwise when im close to it?
What you would be worried about are Watts. I don't think you're pushing the same wattage as a radar range. If so, then you're slowly cooking from the inside out. Eat lot's of rice and spice.

Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".
If you take the following English sentences:
I have 10 dogs
I have 100 dogs
I have 1000 dogs
I have 10000 dogs
You can replace them with:
I have 1 bel dogs
I have 2 bel dogs
I have 3 bel dogs
I have 4 bel dogs
So if you have X amount of bels, then that's 10 to the power of X.
People weren't happy with the "bel" though, they thought it was too big, so the next thing they did was divide a bel into 10 pieces, giving the decibel (deci being Latin for 10 as far as I know). So those sentences become:
I have 10 decibel dogs
I have 20 decibel dogs
I have 30 decibel dogs
I have 40 decibel dogs
The Standard International Unit of Power is the "watt", which is equal to "joules per second". A "milliwatt" is one thousandth of a watt.
It would have been simple enough if they decided to convert watts to decibels, giving:
10 W = 10 dB
100 W = 20 dB
1000 W = 30 dB
however, again they decided a watt was too big, so instead of converting watts to decibels, they converted milliwatts to dBm's. As follows:
100 mW = 20 dBm
And just to explain logs very quickly: If 10 to the power of 3 is 1000, then log10 of 1000 is 3. The equations are as follows:
mW =10 to the power of (dBm/10)
dBm = log10 (mW)*10
A very important thing to note about bels is that when you say "I got an extra 2 decibels when I used the new antenna", it's not addition you do but rather multiplication. This is different from the normal units were used to. For instance if you said you got an extra 5 mW, then all you have to do is add 5 mW onto the original figure. However if you say you added 5 decibels, then you've to do some multiplication. Also note how you can't just multiply both sides by the same number:
100 mW = 20 dBm
Now let's multiply both sides by two:
200 mW = 40 dBm (This is NOT correct)
Decibel measurements are useful when dealing with ridiculously big numbers. For instance, instead of saying:
I got a gain of 1000000000000000000000000
I can say:
I got a gain of 240 decibels

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Massive fight for Vaughan!
Vaughan Lee vs. Urijah Faber - UFC 156
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Being fed to the wolves a bit here imo, I'm a Faber fan but hope Vaughan can cause the upset, would be massive for him.
Faber will be looking to make a statement after his last fight where he lost to Pegado. Seriously tough fight for Vaughan, easily the toughest fight of his career. Nevertheless, he does belong with the likes of Faber and he can never be ruled out.
Looks like Maia and Fitch are being lined up for this one too. Fascinating fight right there.

When i first heard of this one i thought what was Sean Shelby thinking giving that Lee is 1-2 in the UFC and just lost to a student of Faber. Not taking anything away from Lee just Faber's credentials speak for themselves. Would place my money on Faber but would love to see him Lee off an upset.

Faber beats the guys he is suppose to, and losses to the guys who are bette than him.
he is better than Vaughn, so he should win this one.

Taking Faber in this one.
Amazing fight if he wins, a life changing opportunity but it is a very tough task.
But losing will put him 1.3.0. and a fight against Faber very likely could be a wrestle fuck.
Going 1.3.0. off of a boring loss is squeaky bum time in the UFC.
I actually think Lee has a good chance, he is a great striker.
If you love fighting you can never really lose!!!!!
War Vaughan! The guy is a machine!
if faber comes in intent to try and be exciting and strike with Vaughan then Vaughan can beat him
Faber gonna try and wrestle at some point though and will be hard to stop.

SAN BERNARIDNO -- A dispute between neighbors led to a man being shot and wounded in the neck Wednesday afternoon and his 22-year-old neighbor behind bars for attempted murder, officials said..
Police received several calls about 2:30 p.m. reporting shots fired in the 600 block of South Bunker Hill in San Bernardino. Officers and paramedics found a 41-year-old man with at least one gunshot wound at the location, according to San Bernardino Police officials.
He was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Residents identified the shooter as James Shupe and told officers he ran right after the shooting, according to reports.
Concerned for the safety of the residents, the San Bernardino SWAT team was deployed to the area and surrounded a home. Shupe eventually voluntarily surrendered and was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police authorities said.
The wounded man is expected to survive his injuries, officials said.
The exact nature of the dispute between the men was not immediately clear.

Do you pronounce it "erb" or "herb?" I say "erb." Either way, adding fresh herbs to your meals simply seems to elevate the day.
Herbs are so easy to grow, they are a perfect introduction to gardening. You can start with a garden plot or a sunny windowsill. This is the prefect time of year to begin.
Chives are some of the first things I can harvest in my garden each year. They are they are perennials, and they come back quickly every year. They are not picky about sun, soil or water. Some of each is all they ask. You can plant seeds directly in the garden, or grow them in a sunny window. Chive plants are readily available in garden centers and sometimes in the market.
chive-plant-with-flowers photo by Crystl
Chives have a pleasant mild onion flavor and scent. Scrambled eggs with chives are an early spring tradition for us. As our tea is steeping, a trip to the edge of the patio with scissors (usually still dressed in a robe) is all that is needed to harvest a handful. The pale lavender flowers are edible too. Separate them into small clumps of petals and sprinkle on salads.
Homemade herb salad dressing is a very simple and inexpensive way to add gluten free flavor to your meals. I call it salad dressing, but it is a versatile topping for veggies, meat, poultry or fish. Today I give you a recipe using chives, because that is what I have in abundance now. You can adapt this for many other herbs though.

Chive Salad Dressing
Check out the color! And a delicate flavor, perfect for those who like things mild.
1 cup chopped chives
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup mild flavored oil
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
Process in a small blender until smooth, about 1 minute. I use the tall cup attachment with my immersion blender. This dressing thickens with time. If you make it several hours before you use it, thin with more water or oil to desired consistency.
cilantro photo by Henrique_Vincente
Cilantro is a love it or hate herb. Some describe it as lovely, others say it is soapy. Some are polite and say it is an acquired taste. We crave it and use it generously on Mexican, Indian, and Thai foods.
It spoils quickly after harvest, and goes to seed quickly in the garden. When we are really organized, we sow seeds in two-week intervals. But really, that usually does not happen.
Epicurious has a versatile high flavor recipe for Cilantro Garlic Sauce. This sauce is a darker green than the chive sauce, but still vibrant. We drizzle it on beef as suggested in the recipe. But it also often tops enchiladas, veggies, or eggs at our house. It keeps in the fridge for a week or two. And we freeze it in small batches to liven up winter foods.
dill-seed-fireworks photo by Jurek_d.
Dill weed is a natural in seafood dishes. My favorite is shrimp salad with lots of fresh dill and lemon. We favor the leaves, not the seeds, but both are edible. You just need to plant dill in the garden once. Even though it is an annual, it self seeds and sprouts every year, every where. Even when we roto till the garden, it just keeps coming up. We do not mind, we harvest a whole plant when we want dill for dinner. Dill gets to be 3 feet tall, too big for a windowsill garden.
swallowtail-caterpillar photo by Shelly_and_Roy
One year, our wayward dill fed about a dozen yellow swallowtail caterpillars. The plants were stripped bear in a couple of days, you could almost hear the munching. But what a stunning sight when the butterflies started appearing! I think this is reason enough to let dill do as it pleases.

Basil, ah basil. Sweet, cinnamon, Thai, lime… There are so many kinds, each with distinct flavor, aroma, appearance and use. Sweet basil goes in spicy Italian Puttanesca Sauce with kalamata olives. Basil is the backbone flavor in Shrimp and Quinoa. Whole Thai or lime basil leaves get tightly rolled up in rice paper in my Midwest Summer Rolls, a loose adaptation of Thai Spring Rolls. When you have fresh basil in the kitchen, you will catch yourself pinching it under your nose and breathing in deeply to capture the heady scent.
Basil-leaf-face photo by L.Marie
Future posts will include some of the recipes talked about here. And there are many other herbs to savor everyday. We will highlight more herbs in the future, fresh and dried. For now, I encourage you to sow some seeds or plant some plants. Your nose and tummy will surely thank you.

a glimpse at the past
May 15th 2008
I've spent the past days packing all my remaining records into boxes. Some haven't even been cleaned yet and at first I thought I'd never get through it. Moving with a record collection is a pain in the neck, ask any record collector, or better don't and save yourself from having to listen to a bunch of nerdy whining... transatlantic moves are a bitch though, believe me.
Anyway, that's not the reason for me to post. While cleaning up a few records from Benin a couple of days ago, I found a few old photographs that were tucked away in one of the record sleeves. They probably haven't seen the light of day in some 30 years. I was shown old band photographs before when meeting old musicians but I especially love the candid and private nature of these pictures.
Click onto each image for a better view
The first picture shows the Band Poly Rythmo with a few fans, the girl in front has probably the most beaming smile I've ever seen. I really wish I'd know the identity of the tall white mystery man. Someone has drawn a cross onto his chest which is what people do in Benin when someone dies. Friends and family go through all their photo albums and draw a cross onto all images showing the deceased.
Here's our mystery man again, this time he's sitting down with the owner of the Albarika Store label.
Another Poly Rythmo band portrait.
This is my favorite one. I don't really know which band this is. maybe also Poly Rythmo. The man with the (bass?) guitar could be Gustave Bentho. The drummer is not Leopold Yehouessi but Poly Rythmo had several drummers. I guess I'll find out by asking Gustave next time I see him.
I think I'm going to go on one last digging trip, once the container is packed and on its way to NYC. But please don't expect any more mixes anytime soon. My turntables are already packed up...

Kick off the new season of SciCafe, the Museum's popular first-Wednesdays series featuring science, cocktails, and conversation, on October 3 with paleontologist Michael J. Novacek.
Dr. Novacek, who is also the Museum's Provost of Science, will discuss why and how we should create a comprehensive inventory of species, understand the evolutionary relationships of the major branches of life, and probe the connections between the genome and the more external traits of organisms that their genomes influence.
Science Bulletins: The Roots of Human Language
by AMNH on
The landscape of human language is complex, and tracing the origins of the 7,000 known modern languages has been a significant challenge for scientists. An analysis by a researcher at the University of Auckland in New Zealand points to a familiar place: Africa, the birthplace of our species.
This fall, examine the biology of language in a five-part adult course, the Sackler Brain Bench program "Is Your Brain Wired For Language?"
Science Bulletins: Language in the Brain
by AMNH on
Why is it that humans can speak but chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, cannot? The human brain is uniquely wired to produce language. Untangling this wiring is a major frontier of brain research. Peer into the mental machinery behind language with this Science Bulletins feature, which visits a brain-scanning laboratory, Columbia University's Program for Imaging and Cognitive Sciences (PICS). Columbia neuroscientist Joy Hirsch and New York University psychologist Gary Marcus explain what researchers have learned about how our brain tackles language—and what's left to learn.

Hello and welcome!
But when i go around reading ur forum and other websites like tamagod's website, it was said that the new tamagotchi in America is not release yet. It will only be release on 15th August. But usually, new stuff will always be release in the US before being release in Asian countries like Singapore. I wonder why this time round it is the opposite.
No one is sure why it is last to arrive in the US. Bandai is a Japanese company so I think it natural for them to get it first (Japan usually gets the nice electronics first)... I think a lot of Americans are frustrated and anxious because we are so spoiled with usually being among the first.
Anyways... You have an answer posted above... You can also use the Tips and Tricks section or a search using the link in the top right of the TamaTalk screen to find tons of info on training your new pet.

Photo Gallery: Restoring part of Redlands history
REDLANDS - The skeleton of the old Barton School House, steeped with 111 years worth of Redlands history, is slowly being trimmed, sanded and tidied as renovations get under way.
General contractor Roger Smart of Smart Construction is now working beam by beam to stabilize the structure for its far away future as a schoolroom and community gathering place.
"There is going to be an assembly area, restrooms, kitchen ... plans for a bridal suite, and of course it is going to be used as school space," vice chairwoman of the Grove School Board Ellen Weisser said. "If you think of the Carriage House (in Prospect Park) as an example, that's what we envision. A quality place for people to meet."
The Grove School owns the building and Weisser is spearheading the effort to raise the more than $1.5 million that would rebirth the old schoolhouse.
"There is no timeline for raising that," Weisser said. "It is not an easy thing."
The project has raised about $50,000 so far, half of that coming from the San Manuel band of Mission Indians.
In an effort to save every piece of the schoolhouse he can, Smart is slowly and painstakingly taking each beam from the already-gutted historic building, measuring and cutting it just right to hold for, "another 100 years."
"Our goal now is to get the building structurally stable," Smart said as he pointed out leaning walls and bending beams in the almost 3,000-square-foot building.
Part of the effort to save the existing structure is financial, but for Smart the effort to save as much of the existing school house as possible is also sentimental.
"I have a passion for old buildings," Smart said. "This wood is all very, very good stuff."
The Barton School House was built at the turn of the century as part of the Mission School District, according to Redlands history expert Tom Atchley.
"This is the oldest educational building in the area still standing," Atchley said. "It was very lucky to survive on its own."
Atchley described his experience giving talks on the old Mission School District, saying that afterward, about three-fourths of the crowd would come up and share stories and photos about the old school, or family that had attended the old school.
"The connection to that school was unbelievably strong," he said. "There is still a tight feeling about it."
Students came and went through its doors until 1937 when the new Mission School opened.
The iconic piece of Redlands history was pieced apart and moved in 2009 to its current location on Nevada Street near the Grove High School. It was cut in half in order to be moved via truck, which created the problem that Smart is now fixing.
"When they moved it, there was a little bit of separating that happened," Smart said pointing to the north facing wall, which had already fallen about three inches.
His goal is to now realign the structure, sew the two pieces back together and eliminate leaning walls and creaking beams.
Each cut is a labor of love for Smart, who hopes that one day his 6-year-old son will be able to attend school in the building he helped renovate. The son currently attends the Montessori school across the street and has regularly walked past the Barton School House on his way to class. Smart says his son has also come by to see dad at work, removing nails by hand so as to not split the existing wood frame.
"This is very much a personal thing for me," Smart said, describing all his lobbying efforts to get the job as general contractor for the project.
The Barton School House renovation project has no timeline nor projected completion date. According to both Smart and Weisser, its completion is a matter of financing.
The architecture work is being done by Armantrout Architects.

A public hearing on proposed rules for a legal marijuana industry will be held in Everett next month.
The state Liquor Control Board on Friday added the session to its schedule of meetings to be conducted around the state over a three-day period beginning Aug. 6.
The board is crafting rules and regulations under which marijuana can be harvested, processed and sold through retail outlets to those 21 years and over starting next year.
Board members filed the rules July 3 and are planning to approve them Aug. 14. In September, the state will began accepting applications for separate licenses to grow, process and sell marijuana.
Last fall voters made Washington and Colorado the first states to legalize the sale of taxed marijuana to adults over 21 at state-licensed stores.
Washington will allow individuals to have up to an ounce of dried marijuana; 16 ounces of a pot-infused solid, such as brownies; or 72 ounces of a pot-infused liquid, such as tea.
Under the rules, the state will allow grow operations indoors and outdoors. While there are no limits proposed on the number of licenses issued for growing pot and making marijuana products, a cap will be set on the number of retailers statewide and in each county though the amount is not yet known.
In Everett, the hearing is scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m. at the Everett Holiday Inn, 3105 Pine St.
Additional hearings are planned in Seattle, Olympia, Ellensburg and Spokane.
For information on the hearings and the rules, go to www.liq.wa.gov.

Looking for a winter day trip that doesn't involve snow? Why not Whidbey Island?
With waterfront views, specialty shopping, good food and outdoor adventures all along one easy route, it can be a lot of fun without a lot of effort.
Just take the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry and head north on Highway 525.
It's the slow season in Langley, but you wouldn't know it inside Mo's Pub and Eatery.
Despite Mo's motto — it's a "place to drink and throw sharp objects" — there's something for families too. Sip a single-malt scotch and play darts in the bar or sit fireside in the eatery and chow down on some Irish-style fare.
Wherever you decide to sit, be sure to try the fish and chips: crisp nuggets of cod fried in a Guinness beer batter and served with the pub's special fries. There's a bottle of malt vinegar at every table to add a little extra flavor to your fish. It's reasonably priced at $10.99 and goes great with the ginger ale on tap.
Then make your way down the street to The Star Store, a grocery and mercantile with a little bit of everything. Browse the clothing departments, fine wines, kitchen and cooking supplies, toys, Whidbey Island products and other hidden gems.
It's a local destination for shoes, anything cocktail and the inflatable moose heads ($26.95) they've been selling for 28 years.
Stroll along Coupeville's mainline, Front Street, with its mix of shops: bakeries, antiques dealers, art galleries, bookstores and wine bars.
Here are a few stop-worthy shops to note:
Knead and Feed is a cool place to grab a cup of steaming coffee or tea and make the winter wind a little more bearable. They have great baked goods, too. Try a walnut caramel roll, a Marionberry bear claw or a slice of pie.
The Penn Cove Art Gallery is just a few doors down. It's a cooperative gallery with works from more than 20 local artists, such as custom furniture, prints, paintings, wood carvings, photography and stained glass.
Take a walk on the Coupeville Wharf and Warehouse before you head back to the car.
Then bundle up for hike at Ebey's Landing.
It's perfect for a slow, wintertime stroll with views of snowcapped mountains, rolling praries, sheer bluffs and miles of sea.
The full hike is 5.6 miles round trip, but you can take shorter trails if you have little ones along. The park service has a junior ranger program that gives kids a chance to learn about Coupeville history and earn a badge by completing an online activity book.
Deception Pass
The scenic 4,134-acre park has hiking trails through old-growth forests, three lakes and more than 14 miles of saltwater shoreline.
Take a walk, picnic on the beach or admire the views on the drive across Deception Pass Bridge.
You'll need a Discover Pass to park. It's $10 daily or $30 annually at www.discoverpass.wa.gov.
Getting back: You won't need to buy round-trip ferry tickets for this outing.
Just cross the bridge and continue on Highway 20 for about 15 miles, bear right and take southbound 1-5 all the way home.
If you go
Ebey's Landing: 360-678-6084; www.nps.gov/ebla.
Deception Pass: 41020 Highway 20; 360-675-2417.

THE Australian dollar has closed marginally higher ahead of the New Year's Day public holiday and amid uncertainty about a successful US budget deal.
At 1700 AEDT on Monday, the local unit was trading at 103.83 US cents, up from Friday's local close of 103.74 US.
During the morning, the currency moved between a low of 103.68 US cents and 104.06 US cents.
The Australian dollar opened the local trading day at 0700 AEDT at 103.66 US cents, having lost ground during weekend offshore trading, but ground up towards 104 US cents during the morning.
The move was not sustained however, as the currency gave up some ground in the afternoon to stay within its post-Christmas range between 103.3 US cents and 104 US cents in a quiet day's trade.
Rochford Capital consultant Richard Breen said little could be read into the day's move, given the lack of activity in the market at this time of the year.
Moreover, Mr Breen said those investors working during the festive season were inclined to stay on the sidelines ahead of any news regarding the US fiscal cliff.
"Until something happens there I don't think you will see many people taking large positions beforehand," Mr Breen said.
"As soon as we hear something from the US, that will really determine near-term direction.
"It's a very quiet and illiquid market today."
Negotiations between US President Barack Obama and legislators in the US Congress over a looming budget deadline look set to go down to the wire.
Talks centred on the best way to avoid a series of tax hikes and spending cuts, which were tipped to push the US economy back into recession, coming into effect in early 2013.
The measures, dubbed the fiscal cliff, would also have a significant knock-on effect on the world economy.

The marketing potential of Advanced Attribution is huge, and many companies struggle to devise a strategy that's suitable for them.
Everyone is talking about it, yet marketers find themselves confused, stuck, overwhelmed by the many options, model types, and data sets.
Although adoption is gaining momentum, with brands allocating more resources and budget to attribution modeling, only 26% of companies use advanced attribution that goes beyond last-click according to an Econsultancy Quarterly Digital Intelligence Briefing.
This is truly alarming, considering that companies spend sums of up to and more than £5m annually to drive customer acquisition in online marketing alone. This is huge investment that is not necessarily ROI proven.
So, how can you use the platform to turn data into insight and action?
Here are three ways marketers can approach it, without becoming stuck.
What is advanced attribution?
Advanced attribution will change the way we approach digital marketing forever. Is not a trend, it's not a fad, it's here to stay whether you chose to change and implement it or not. The longer you take the faster your competitors would take advantage.
Advanced attribution is simply shifting the way you measure your marketing valuation. This means going from last click where 100% of the valuation for credit, ROI and revenue is attributed to the last marketing channel before a purchase, to valuating all of the marketing channels in a customer journey.
What this means is that you are giving proper credit to your complete marketing mix, instead of only one channel. Makes sense right? Why wouldn't you.
Why advanced attribution?
Let's start off with the name. The industry calls it 'advanced' attribution because the current last click model you have been using for years is also an attributed model, it's just the most simplistic version.
When you hear advanced attribution you automatically know that the value is being attributed across the whole marketing mix. The reason why this is so important is to basically prove 100% of your marketing spends in terms of ROI across all your channels, not just one.
Not knowing which 50% of your marketing works and which doesn't is no longer acceptable. Some of the benefits of advanced attribution are:
- It helps you understand the value of marketing activities that build demand at the top of the funnel. For example, can provide guidance on which keywords to bid on during a marketing campaign, those keywords you had no idea your customer started their search with, because you don't even bid on them.
- It's useful in discovering the true value of affiliate referrals and determining payments, no more duplicate payments. Who still pays double now a days?
- It helps marketers find the optimal frequency of ad serving such as for display ads, meaning you don't spam and scare your prospects by flooding them with your ads.
The challenges: don't become stuck here
Recently I was sitting in an Econsultancy attribution roundtable and learned from different marketers and agencies how confused the topic gets them.
These are the three things that will take the confusion away and make it simpler:
1. The model: go for algorithmic
There are several ways of measuring advanced attribution. Essentially these divide themselves in two. First, Rules based models. Second, Algorithmic statistical models.
Please don't become stuck here, make your decisions and move forward. If it's algorithmic what you choose, you would be 110% better off than using your current last click model.
Rules based models are exactly what it says in the tin. You put rules based on the position of where the marketing channels are in your customer journey. For example, if you have a customer journey that looks like this:
Paid Sarch>Display Ad>Email> Conversion
Under a rules based model, you say, whatever comes first will get x% that's assigned by a rule you make. This means that paid search will get the same percentage every time is first, as so very other marketing channel that is first. You don't want rules based models.
Why? Because they become a self-fulfilling theory. Your marketing will work as per the rules you assign, not very smart.
Algorithmic Statistical models are what you want to get. There is a plethora of different models and how they work. Don't get stuck here. Just make sure you go for this option.
What's important to know here is that it's science and it's data based. It's science because it's a mathematical algorithmic statistical model. Not to worry, it just means there's maths instead of rules doing your calculations for valuating every marketing channel.
It's data based, because it's based in your own customers data. This means it looks at your brand's past customer journeys and how each channel interacts differently in getting you a conversion.
For example, if you have a customer journey that looks like this:
Paid Search>Display Ad>Email> Conversion
And another customer journey that looks like this:
Paid Search>Social>Display Ad>Email> Conversion
The first channel, which in this case is paid search, will vary significantly in its valuation. Even though each example starts with Paid Search, the customer journey is different, therefore the credit for the first channel is also different.
2. It's not about data, it's about what to do with it
Basically, the biggest internal organizational challenges a company has once advanced attribution has been implemented is to take decisions on the data it gives you. This basically means driving the insight. Tell me what to do and how to do it?
Boom! We have attribution implemented, all channels are integrated. We have spend, cost, revenue data, and ROI figures for every digital channel. We even integrated some offline channels like call centre data and point of purchase.
Amazing, we finally have one single source of truth. After this implementation you got access to 354 reports. I believe data must be turned into insight, and so does Econsultancy.
What does this mean? It simply means, tell me what to do and where to take action. It's awesome that we now have 354 reports to look at data and customer journeys and all the amazing things advanced attribution gives me insight into.
So what? How do I really get the action I need to be a source of customer, competitive and marketing advantage?
Look for platforms that have gone a step beyond, and include a scenario planning capability that allows you to predict future behaviour which is fundamental to creating strong customer lifetime value models and optimising marketing effectiveness.
And as Econsultancy stated in the Marketing Manifesto, digital channels provide new and valuable sources of data and customer insight that can be acted upon in real time.
This is what you really need, besides the 354 reports, you really need to be told what to do with the data. Where to spend your money? how to better forecast to get £1M in revenue, or how to drive 10k conversions, or where to spend the additional £150k for the Christmas campaign.
If you do not see this feature in your platform, then you don't have a modern platform in front of you.
3. Change management: this must come from the top down
Advanced attribution will impact the entire marketing organisation.
The current challenge, according to Jim Sterne, founder of eMetrics Summit & Digital Analytics Association, is that too many large organizations are using incentive structures that foster (dis)integrated digital marketing by issuing bonuses to individual teams based on the performance of the marketing channels they are responsible for.
This we all know. Now think about it, if you are a channel manager driving attribution, you will have a channel conflict with every other channel manager.
Because each team (search, social, email, display, affiliates etc.) must prove their own channel's performance for compensation, they're shoved into internal competition and left to seek metrics and attribution models favourable to their particular channel.
This creates both operational and data silos. This means that for advanced attribution to be successful and for channel managers to optimize, forecast and use actionable data to drive better ROI, the direction needs to come from the CMO, Marketing Director, or whoever owns the budget across all marketing channels.
Adoption of attribution modeling is accelerating because digital media keeps growing new channels, making it harder for marketers to understand what drives ad performance, meaning whatever your product or service, there's a huge potential to better understand the other 50% of how your marketing works.
Digital marketers must step up and start things moving with advanced attribution. The longer you take, the faster your competitors will take advantage.
Comments (5)
A good job and well written points, all the words were represented pictorially perfect and it helped me out a lot.
thanks for spending your valuable time.
Good one
Thanks for the great write-up.
I agree with all of the points you made - re the Figure 4 that shows that the lack of knowledge as the main culprit of not doing attribution, what do you think are good resources for gaining that knowledge? That's resources in addition to signing up with econsultancy of course!
An interesting article but I still think it misses some of the key problems people have with attribution in terms of a simple issue that an algorithm no matter how advanced can't truly understand a customer's behaviour without
a) all of the data touch points
b) someone to actually diagnose what the data is telling it
I've worked with a number of so called 'advanced' attribution technologies and there are still a number of problems with a lot of them in that all they are doing is identifying whether a particular touch point was involved in the journey to a conversion. Now you may be thinking to yourself - that's exactly what I want to get but there are problems in that with many channels, this tells you something you already know and doesn't really help you change your marketing or adjust you spend to make a significant change.
Let's look at the pros and cons:
* You can finally see any channels, sites, placements, keywords etc. that don't actually influence conversions in any way which means you can remove them. Great - but how much of your marketing is actually that cut and dry
* You can see any channels, sites, placements, keywords etc. that appeared to be driving no or next to no conversions but are actually influencing more than expected and can continue spending on these / invest more in them. Once again it's a nice addition but ultimately given it's rare that this learning then makes these sources significantly more cost effective, the material effect is limited
* For areas where advertisers are really keen to get to the bottom of effectiveness, these tools provide limited benefit for example
* Display activity where it is difficult to justify that cookieing a user for "seeing" (very much in inverted commas) your ad has actually influenced them to drive them to have an interest in your brand
* Re-targeting activity where you are stuck with the difficult question of whether the user would actually have still come back to the site if they hadn't been re-targeted
* Reward driven affiliate sites where without understanding how the customer uses these sites / what the competition is doing on them / whether they could have gone elsewhere, it is difficult to judge the nature of their influence.
And that's just for starters. I appreciate that systems and tools are evolving but suggesting that the wider advertiser base should jump in and start using attribution (because they would be stupid not to) is almost more damaging as it suggests to them that what they are / were doing was wrong while promising to radically change their activity when the truth is that without the resource to run tests and evaluate observations from any data, it really won't...

Reid: Another ricin letter sent to DC Air Force base
(Washington, DC) -- Nevada Senator Harry Reid is confirming another ricin letter was addressed to a Washington, DC area Air Force base. It comes after the suspect in the original case was set free on bond earlier today. Paul Kevin Curtis was accused of sending similar letters to President Obama and at least one member of Congress. Reid says he doesn't have much detail in the latest case involving Bolling Air Force Base.

GG. These replies show that apple fans are jealous of Android. How to avoid malware? Don't watch pr0n or click phishy links. Problem solved. iOS is too limited compared to Android. And don't forget custom ROMs. Any custom ROM destroys iOS in terms of performance and capability.
Who cares about the commercial... Geekbench on iPhone 5 1600-1800. Geekbench on S4 (before modifying) is 3300, and with modifying (overclocking, because Android allows that) I can get it up to 4000.
I think apple just got shat on for the 3rd year in a row (since s3 was released).
iOS 7 will make or break Apple, because if they seriously just add a dumb facebook/twitter widget in notification center and call it iOS 7, it is really going to suck again.
gimmicks features. Don't get me wrong, Apple is king of gimmicks, Siri being top one in my book.
As for tasker, between Flex and batterydoctorpro pretty sure most of what tasker can do can be replicated on iPhone.
I just traded in my iPhone 5 for an HTC ONE. I'm so happy I made that choice, because now I have the best of both worlds. I still have a 4S as a company phone, and an iPad 2. Each one of them offer something the other doesn't. I must admit though, that all the bad things I said about android prior to buying the HTC, I have to take back, I'm really becoming a fan of android systems. Some will say its not as safe, well, I'm a computer nut as well and am quite familiar with running background processes and things that look suspicious; that along with bitdefender as a back up on the android, I feel pretty safe..... as safe as I did with a jailbroken iPhone 5!! :-)
Back on topic...sorry! I was not impressed with the Samsung GS4; it felt cheap in my hand and had 10,000 apps, that I'll never use. I have a friend that has one, and comparing his to my HTC ONE, well, as I said, I'm not impressed with the GS4.
For mobile app
Also, downplaying Android's extra features isn't helping your cause at all. Basically, you're jealous of all of the extras Android has.
Lol funny thing is all these features people keep listing such as waving your hand over your phone to do stuff or auto scrolling these are NOT features of android. To my knowledge these are features of samsungs touchwiz and the second you flash your custom rom you lose all these functions.
My personal opinion is they are all a gimmick. They are good to get people in the door and fun to play around with for a while.
Kinda like Siri. I love Siri but hardly use it. However apple glorified it for all its gimmicky features that no one really uses it for.
At the end of the day "the next best thing" came out already. The s4 is a hardware upgrade. Most likely all these swipe features will be available on the s3
Cheap plastic feel. Is there an app for that?
I love my iphone, have the ip4, haven't upgraded, don't really see the point, oboy no Siri, that's ok I'll deal with it! I'm waiting to see what's on the ip6, and ios7 if something WOWS me then I will buy a upgrade if not then no, messed with the new windows phone, a bit different but I like it, and I've used a s3 and liked it, so in other words If apple don't do something SOON to wow me, I'm just gonna get a upgrade and use this as a backup or switch up!
Normally I put the mobile link too when I post YouTube links, I was just being lazy earlier lol.

Monday Morning Quarterback Week 9
The Good
The Bad
San Diego ChargersKansas City Chiefs
The Chargers have been struggling but they got well against the Chiefs. This is especially true of Philip Rivers, who completed 18-of-20 passes and was razor sharp in throwing for 220 yards and 2 TDs without an interception. Matt Cassel completed 19-of-29 passes for the Chiefs.
While Cassel had a solid completion percentage, he could not throw a touchdown pass and looked indecisive when Kansas City needed him to be at his best. Cassel also lost a fumble and he is not dependable.
Denver BroncosCincinnati Bengals
Peyton Manning has been the most decisive player on the field throughout the last four weeks. That was once again the case against Cincinnati as he completed 27-of-35 passes for 291 yards with 3 TDs. Andy Dalton had a bounce-back game in throwing for 299 yards for the Bengals.
Manning had a brief blip in the second half when he threw two interceptions. He was able to bounce back from those errors. When the Bengals had a chance to take charge in this game, Dalton could not create any separation.
Baltimore RavensCleveland Browns
Joe Flacco did not do much for the Ravens, but he avoided mistakes and that's what the Ravens needed to win this game. He completed 15-of-24 passes and he threw a fourth-quarter TD pass to Torrey Smith that allowed the Ravens to seize control of this game. Brandon Weeden is playing with a lot of guts for the Browns.
Even though Weeden is trying hard and was not cowed by the Ravens' once-ferocious defense, he could not make big plays when the Browns needed them. He threw two interceptions and he did not get the Browns into the end zone.
Green Bay PackersArizona Cardinals
It was a strange game for Aaron Rodgers, who completed less than half of his passes while throwing for 218 yards and 4 TD passes. Rodgers was not as bad as those numbers sounded because he was victimized by uncharacteristic drops from the Packer receivers.
John Skelton is a virtual statue in the pocket. He has limited mobility and he can't get away from pressure. Skelton threw for 306 yards, but he completed 23-of-46 passes. He only threw 1 TD pass and he was sacked twice.
Houston TexansBuffalo Bills
The Texans are not going to play their best game every week and neither is quarterback Matt Schaub. He completed 19-of-27 passes for 268 yards and threw 2 TD passes. The Bills depended on Ryan Fitzpatrick to keep them close and he did for most of the game.
Fitzpatrick showed he is capable of moving the Bills up and down the field, but he could not get them into the endzone. While this was not necessarily his fault, he was unable to make big plays when the Bills needed him most.
Indianapolis ColtsMiami Dolphins
Andrew Luck has already lived up to the hype of being the best No. 1 draft pick at the quarterback position since Peyton Manning, but he rose above expectations by throwing for a rookie record 433 yards against the tough Dolphins. Miami rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill was no slouch either. He threw for 290 yards and did not throw an interception.
There was not much to complain about from either team's perspective. The only thing Miami head coach Joe Philbin can say is that Tannehill needs to figure out how to help his team hold on to the lead by sustaining second-half drives.
Detroit LionsJacksonville Jaguars
The Lions played a solid game from start to finish, and that's been a rarity this year. Matthew Stafford looked comfortable for most of the game and he completed 22-of-33 passes for 285 yards and he did not throw an interception.
Blaine Gabbert was competitive for the Jaguars, but that's not good enough to keep his team in the game. He threw 2 TD passes, but not until the Lions had taken firm control of the game. Gabbert tires hard, but he lacks know-how. Stafford did not throw a touchdown pass.
Chicago BearsTennessee Titans
The Bears had an explosive game and Jay Cutler did his part, but it was also about defense and special teams. Cutler took advantage of Tennessee's porous defense by throwing for 229 yards and 3 touchdowns, all to Brandon Marshall. Cutler did a good job of pressing the Bears advantage throughout the game.
Matt Hasselbeck was in over his head against the Bears' ferocious defense. He threw an interception to middle linebacker Brian Urlacher that was an easy catch and the future Hall of Famer was able to bring it back for a touchdown without much effort.
Carolina PanthersWashington Redskins
Cam Newton has certainly had his share of struggles this season, but he has been performing somewhat better in recent weeks. He was solid against the Redskins, throwing a touchdown pass to wideout Steve Smith and also running for a touchdown. Robert Griffin III was under duress for much of the game, but he played with remarkable poise in trying to lead the Redskins on a comeback.
RGIII could not throw a touchdown pass and was not as sharp as he had been in some games after taking some brutal shots. While he did some positive things running and throwing, he did not do enough to overcome Carolina's physical defensive play.
Tampa Bay BuccaneersOakland Raiders
Josh Freeman continues his resurgent season. He did not need any heroics to lead Tampa Bay's explosive offense. He completed 18-of-30 passes for 247 yards with 2 TDs and he did not throw an interception. Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer threw for 414 yards and 4 TDs in the defeat.
Palmer had an explosive day, but it was not enough to get the Raiders the much-needed victory because he threw 3 interceptions.
Seattle SeahawksMinnesota Vikings
The Seahawks continue to get solid play from rookie quarterback Russell Wilson in home games. Even though Seattle fell behind early, Wilson played with poise and confidence as he threw for 173 yards and 3 TDs without throwing an interception.
While Christian Ponder got off to a solid start early in the season, he has fallen off badly. He threw for 63 yards and an interception against Seatle. Since Ponder is so unproductive, the Vikings have become a one-dimensional offense.
Pittsburgh SteelersNew York Giants
This was a matchup of elite teams and elite quarterbacks. Ben Roethlisberger was sharp in completing 21-of-30 passes for 216 yards. Both of his TD passes came in the fourth quarter when the Steelers came from behind on the road to win the game.
Eli Manning did not have the kind of game that Giants fans are used to seeing from him. He completed just 10-of-24 passes for 125 yards and he did not throw a TD pass while throwing an interception. Manning has had two consecutive unimpressive games.
Atlanta FalconsDallas Cowboys
Matt Ryan continues to play at an MVP-type level. While he did not throw a touchdown pass against the Cowboys, he completed 24-of-34 passes for 342 yards and he did not throw an interception. Once again, Tony Romo had a productive night against a good defense. He threw for 321 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys.
While Romo was under pressure and did a good job of avoiding interceptions, he did not take advantage of the opportunities the Cowboys had when they had to settle for two short field goals in the first quarter.

Would you like extra support from a student midwife? Gold Coast/Tweed
My name is Beau and I am a very enthusiastic and passionate student midwife at Southern Cross University. Last year as part of my course I walked alongside 10 women throughout their childbearing journey in what is known as 'continuity of care' experience. I am in search of more generous women who may be interested in assisting me to gain this incredibly valuable experience. There are also many benefits for women who invite a student midwife to follow their childbearing experience including having the extra support and the comfort in having a familiar face throughout your very special journey. As your student midwife I will attend a minimum of 3 antenatal appointments, your labour and birth (if you choose), and attend a minimum of 2 postnatal visits. There is no cost, participation is entirely voluntary and you can change your mind at any time without providing an explanation.
If you will be birthing your baby at Tweed Hospital, Mullumbimby & District War Memorial Hospital, Murwillumbah District Hospital or you are planning a homebirth with a private midwife in the Gold Coast/Tweed Shire, you are 35 weeks pregnant or less, and you would like to consider having a student midwife follow your journey then I would love to hear from you.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss having me as your student midwife, please send me a private message. Thank you.

Gold Coast
I am interested in finding out if you would be interested in supporting our family for my impending birth. I am due in just a few weeks (15 Sept) and our support person for caring for our son will probably not be able to do it (it was my MIL & FIL, but my FIL has just gotten out of ICU at Tweed for severe pneumonia, they are in their 80s). So what we really need is a support person for my son. He is 3 years old and we have never left him with anyone. He loves his grandparents dearly though so we thought that would be a good option for them to care for him at our home - but now that isn't an option we thought that he might be able to join us at the hospital if he had his own support person (he has actually been wanting to be there at the birth whole way through and wasn't at all impressed being told he couldn't be there). That way my husband can be my support person (he did a brilliant job last time), and my son can have his own support person and leave the room as he needs etc.
We are located in Southport and we are birthing at Pindara.
Thank you and look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your reply to my post. Unfortunately at present, Southern Cross University does not have an agreement with Pindara Hospital for student midwives, so I am unable to assist. I can suggest you try to contact Griffith University as the student midwives there may be able to attend Pindara. The link to apply for a student can be found by searching 'Griffith university student midwife' in google.
I wish you all the best for your special journey and hope you find the support you are looking for.
Kind regards
