The Los Angeles Rams this offseason have undergone much change with eyes toward finally putting together a team that can not only be a playoff contender but also does it with their prized young quarterback Jared Goff leading the way.
Much of that has been evident by the decision to bring in former Washington Redskins' offensive coordinator Sean McVay to take over as the new head coach along with making a string of moves in free agency to bring in more help on the offensive side of the ball.
All of this brought forth a stronger level of confidence from the Rams' 2016 first overall selection on the onset of the offseason workouts on Monday afternoon.
"I think I speak for the whole team, I think we're a lot closer to where we want to be than people may think," Goff said. "We've got the players, we've got the talent, we've got all the pieces we need, really. It's just about putting it together now. The coaches and the system we're going to run
Los Angeles has added several new pieces to the offensive line in hopes of providing Goff better protection and leeway for him to develop further in his second season. This includes adding a pair starters through free agency in left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who is widely regarded as being one of the best players at his position, and center John Sullivan, who was an above-average starter during his stint with the Minnesota Vikings.
The front office also brought in a couple of skilled-position players in veteran wide receiver Robert Woods and running back Lance Dunbar, who both have the potential to play large roles in the passing game. In total, these moves to supplement the offense around Goff have given a better sense of assurance that the organization is fully behind him.
"Anytime they make any sort of investment on the offensive side of the ball, especially, it's always helpful for
That said, the bulk of the attention is going to center on Goff's ability to pick up McVay's new offense over the offseason heading into the 2017 season. In light of that, the 22-year-old believes he already possesses a strong feel for the offense that he hopes to get much more familiarity with over the next few months ahead.
"Good feel, good feel. From what I know, and from what I've seen, it's obviously a great offense," Goff said. "And from what I've heard, I've talked to quarterbacks around the league and coaches and what not, and I haven't heard a bad word about it. So, I'm
On a similar note, McVay voiced much confidence that not only Goff but his entire quarterback group can learn the offense progressively over the offseason as long as they take a simple approach to it entirely.
"I think for our quarterbacks as a whole, there's a lot of work," McVay said. "It's just making sure we have that one day approach. If you look at it where you want to go from A to Z, then you end up getting overwhelmed with the amount of information. But I think as long as you just take little steps at a time, that continuous improvement one day at a time, then I feel like that will lead to the things that we want."
Goff is coming off a rough rookie year where he recorded 1,089 passing yards with a 54.6 completion percentage with five touchdown passes and seven interceptions, and holding a 22.2 quarterback rating. He also finished last in the league in yards per completion (5.31), second-worst total quarterback rating, and the fourth-lowest completion percentage.
With all that in mind, Goff is aiming to show progressive improvement in his first full season as the Rams' starting quarterback.
"Day-in and day-out, I'm going to do my best to continue to get better and continue to improve and be the best player I can be, " Goff said. "Obviously, it's helpful knowing coming into it that who I'll be working with – the (offensive) line, the receivers, all the people I'll be working with is helpful. At the same time, it's a daily process to continue to get better."

Killeen Daily Herald
Killeen District 2 Councilman Juan Rivera called a news conference Thursday afternoon at his Trimmier Road office to speak out about the recent $750,000 buyout of former City Manager Connie Green.
The conference came just hours before the first recall petition signing Thursday night at the Killeen Community Center.
"(Citizens) didn't know I voted against the ($750,000) because No. 1, it was not according to the contract agreement we had with Mr. Connie Green," Rivera said.
Rivera said the buyout should have been for $555,000 in accordance with Green's contract, which stipulated he be given two years of salary, vacation and sick leave. Green's salary was about $190,000 at the time of his departure from his position.
"You call it whatever you want; he got fired in my book and that's why I voted against it," Rivera said. "If we have a city employee or any director who committed any offense, the first thing I expect is them to put them on some kind of probation."
Without naming names, Rivera said that one of the two other council members who voted against the buyout agreement was in favor of giving Green more than the $750,000 agreed upon. Councilmen Larry Cole and Billy Workman also voted against the buyout.
"Even if we would have given $555,000 to the man, I would have voted against it," he said. "I didn't have a reason at that point to vote for a buyout."
Had the council not reached the agreement with Green to bind both parties to not pursue litigation, Rivera said Green could have sued the city.
"They were paying $750,000 in order to reach a happy agreement between the City Council and Mr. Green," he said. "Well guess what, how can you sue me if I go according to the agreement? You tell me how."
Rivera said conflict between the council and Green started when people emailed the council in regard to EMS billing department complaints, including potential fraud in the billing department and employee issues.
"The first thing I did was I went and emailed Mr. Green," he said. "Mr. Green told me there was an investigation."
Rivera said he wanted to wait and let the city conduct an internal investigation in regard to the EMS Billing Department. Others, such as Cole, have indicated that an outside investigation may be needed to keep the results honest.
Green, 49, became the city manager in 2005 after former City Manager David Blackburn left to work the same position in Temple. In 1990, Green started with the city as finance director and was promoted to assistant city manager in 2000.
Assistant City Manager Glenn Morrison is acting as interim city manager.

The Dept of Nuclear Medicine & Bone Densitometry established bone densitometry in South Australia in 1982. Since then, we have upgraded & maintained state of the art bone densitometry equipment and achieved many firsts. These include the first total body bone densitometer in Australia, the first imaging bone densitometer, and the first X-ray based mobile bone densitometry service in Australia.
The department refurbishment has resulted in a dedicated bone densitometry suite. The suite operates with 3 X-ray based bone densitometers capable of scanning any site. We also operate our mobile service in rural regions all year, and an ultrasound absorptiometer which is primarily used for screening both at the RAH and at rural fairs.
The department is not associated with the equipment operated by the RAH Department of Medicine.
Our commitment to research ensures that the benefits of modern osteoporosis assessment & management are available to all South Australians - city or country.
We aim to increase community awareness of osteoporosis & its potential treatments by providing education and accurate, reproducible bone densitometry testing services to all South Australians.
A Mobile Bone Densitometry unit was begun as an initiative in 1994 as part of this aim. The unit offers spine & hip bone density testing to rural South Australia.
Osteoporosis results from the reduction of the mineralised material in the bone, and causes an overall weakening of the affected bones and increased risk of fracture. This occurs when bone is not being replaced at the same rate as it is lost (normally, bone is continually formed and removed in equal amounts), and occurs sooner if the amount of bone established when young is less than average.
Although some risk factors may suggest you might have osteoporosis, the only way to be certain is with a bone densitometry test.
The female hormone, oestrogen, has an effect on the bone to maintain its density. Due to the loss of oestrogen at menopause post menopausal women are at the greatest risk - although not all post-menopausal women will develop osteoporosis.
Men can also develop osteoporosis, but not as commonly as women. The chart below lists some of the risk factors which may predispose you to developing osteoporosis. It is important to realise that even if you have no risk factors osteoporosis may still be present.
|Risk Factors
Osteoporosis does not cause pain in joints. Back pain may be due to fractures in vertebrae which have resulted from osteoporosis.
Osteoarthritis is a different condition and is assessed by other techniques.
Measuring your bone density provides information that helps you decide if you should alter your lifestyle, or commence treatment to reduce the risk of later fracture. Measurements are generally done around the time of the menopause, but it is never too late. It is even more important if you have one of the risk factors mentioned above.
Although osteoporosis occurs in men, it is less common and routine bone density is not recommended at present.
In South Australia, X-ray based bone densitometry currently requires a doctor's referral, and you should discuss with your doctor if measurement of your bone density is necessary.
In April 2007, the Australian Federal Government approved a funded DXA scan for people over the age of 70.
The aims of bone densitometry are to identify those at risk of developing osteoporosis and to monitor change in bone density, particularly with therapy. The most useful techniques must therefore be accurate and reproducible.
Bone density can be assessed by a number of methods that rely on measurement of the amount of x-ray or sound passing through the bone of interest.
Available methods include :
The lower spine, upper femur (and sometimes the forearm) are usually measured as they are more sensitive to short term change. The lower spine scan requires you to lie on a bed on your back, with a pillow under your head and cushion under your knees. For the femur scan, the cushion under your knees is removed and your foot is strapped into a positioning brace.
The bone density test measures any dense object in the area being scanned, so any metal around your hips, waist or lower spine must be removed. If you wear a long line bra, you will be asked to remove it.
Depending on the equipment in use, appointments take up to 20 minutes, and it is important you arrive on time.
For the test, any metal or dense objects around your hips, spine or waist will need to
be removed. Some bras (eg long-line bra) and fasteners on clothing may need to be removed - you will be also asked to remove
it or given a change of clothing for the scan.
The RAH operates 4 DXA bone densitometers of the same brand and calibration, including the Mobile
Bone Densitometry Unit in rural SA, but DXA bone densitometry tests are
available at other major public hospitals and a number of private radiology
& endocrine practices.
The cost of testing varies :
Many people ask why bone densitometry is performed in Nuclear Medicine as well as radiology and endocrinology departments.
Early bone densitometry used radioisotopes such as 153Gd and 125I as the photon source and radiology departments were not well equipped to handle these materials.
Additionally, bone densitometry is a functional rather than imaging modality, and early bone densitometry did not provide images. As it moved to imaging and X-ray based photon sources, Nuclear Medicine departments with their strong image processing skills and understanding of the statistics, remained important high quality providers of bone densitometry.
Most practices send the results directly to your referring doctor unless a consultant physician is present to see you. If you are scanned by the RAH Bone Densitometry Service, results will usually be at the doctor's rooms within 5 working days, whether you are seen in Adelaide or the country.
Some doctors have access to the results electronically within 2-3 days normally.
Your doctor will discuss your results with you. It may be necessary for you to have a follow up measurement after about 2 years after your first scan to determine the rate of bone loss.
As different bone densitometer manufacturers have differing calibration on their machines, it is important that any subsequent scans be done on the same machine (or at least the same brand) for results to be comparable.
To aid this in country areas, the Mobile Bone Density Unit will visit the same region annually, but the town may change.
The mobile service is equipped with the same brand of bone densitometer as our service at the RAH.
Unlike other tests such as breast mammography or papilloma virus (PAP) smears, repeat DXA testing is related to how your strong your bones are.
Calcium, which circulates in the blood, plays an important role in the body's
everyday function and aids in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and nerve
& brain function, just to name a few. As calcium is one of the major constituents
of bone, losses from the body exceeding intake (as often happens in aging women)
results in loss of calcium from the bones and may lead to the development of
osteoporosis. Although maintaining your calcium intake is important regardless
of age, calcium alone will not prevent bone loss.
So what sort of treatments are given?
There are many treatment options for osteoporosis, and you should discuss these with your doctor. Treatments range from conservative therapies such as exercise, adequate sunshine and maintaining calcium in your diet to hormone therapies to therapies which act to reduce bone loss.
After the menopause, women require at least 1000mg of calcium a day. Vitamin D (derived from sunlight) and exercise have also been shown to be important in maintaining bone strength.
It is essential to consider the individual in establishing a therapy, as what is suitable for one person, may not work for another. You should consult your doctor to work out what is best for you.
The department operates 5 days a week at both the Royal Adelaide Hospital and in rural South Australia with the Mobile Bone Densitometry Service.

Good morning to you, friends! I can hardly believe that the weekend is here, and just days before December. For all of my friends and acquaintances in the United States, I hope that your thanksgiving was warm, welcoming and filled with love and appreciation... and now, we move our minds to Christmas, and the fun to come. Christmas music is playing as I am going to paint some furniture pieces today. We've begun to slowly decorate for Christmas, creating vignettes and adding touches, here and there, as the house will take shape over the next month...

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich is doubling down on his criticism of Rep. Ron Paul, calling the Texas Republican "a protest candidate" who lacks the potential to win the presidency.
As polls show Gingrich's presidential bid continues to decline while Paul's gains traction in Iowa, the former House speaker took aim at his rival's libertarian views on social and foreign policy issues, arguing that voters are "not going to elect somebody who believes in legalizing drugs."
"]Fox News contributor] Dick Morris said last night on a show that he thought, on five different major issues, he was more liberal than Barack Obama," Gingrich said. "And I think you have to look at all this. Ron Paul is a protest candidate. He's a serious protest candidate. I think he sincerely believes what he says. But if you look at his total program, I think it is virtually impossible for him to be nominated by the Republican Party."
Gingrich's comments come as most of the GOP presidential field – with the notable exception of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney – is now throwing the kitchen sink at Paul, who polls suggest stands a good chance of winning or placing second in next week's Iowa caucuses.
In an interview with Real Clear Politics on Thursday, Romney said that he will support whoever is the eventual GOP nominee – but he emphasized that in his view, "Ron Paul's not going to be our nominee."
Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman (R) struck a similar note, telling reporters that "if Ron Paul gets to the finish line I'd be happy to support him ... but he is not going to get there," according to NBC News' Jo Ling Kent.
As for his own bid, Gingrich on Thursday downplayed expectations for Iowa, where he has dropped from frontrunner to fourth place in the past three weeks.
"I think we'll be right in the middle of the hunt, and I think we'll come out of Iowa with enough strength to go to New Hampshire and we'll come out of New Hampshire with enough strength to go to South Carolina," Gingrich told CNBC's Kudlow. "And I feel pretty confident that we'll win South Carolina because I don't think that a Massachusetts moderate is going to play very well in South Carolina."

The previous tagline for the same phone was " Ab bat karo face to face ". The company has now given the rights for advertising to Grey worldwide. The company wanted to highlight the most important feature of IN 4470N which is Video calling through its advertisement. It"s a wonderful strategy that they have used, as this feature will be the crowd pulling one for them. The latest campaign has three ads. All the three ads show the phone being used for video calling.
Video calling with the help of 2G phones is extremely a new idea. The launch of IN4470 N comes as a surprise. All the mobile companies and also the service providers are concentrating on 3G phones and 3G services respectively. The video calling will be much faster and smoother in 3G compared to 2G. So why did Intex mobile think of launching IN 4470 N at this point of time into the market? This is basically because of the high usage charge for the use of these features in the 3G spectrum. The rate of 2G services are much below compared to the 3G services. The company is concentrating on the first time mobile users, who are the youth and also who are not willing to shed their pocket on 3G phones and 3G services
The IN4470 N also has other impressive features too. Some of the interesting features are
- Dual Sim
- Face 2 Face chat
- Answering machine
- Mobile tracker
- Expandable memory up to 8GB
- Audio and video player
- Bluetooth and GPRS facility
- 2000mAh battery
The launch of IN4470 N will definitely make some head spin. The ads will definitely play a major role in its promotion. The company plans to give the first time mobile users a taste of all the major applications that are presently available in the mobile world with the launch of this handset.

FAQs  > Topic: Trading
What causes day trade margin calls and how can I avoid them?
A day trade margin call is triggered when you exceed your day trading buying power. You can avoid this by following three simple rules:
- Know your day trading buying power before you place any trades. You can check it by logging in to your account and navigating to Manage Accounts.
- Make sure the total amount of all your day trades on any given day do not exceed your day trade buying power.
- Know your trading requirements – some securities have elevated trading requirements.
To learn what causes day trade margin calls and how you can avoid them, please watch this video.
Important Note: All of the calculations, explanations, and examples in this presentation apply to an account that has not already received a prior day trade margin call. When an PDT account has an open, unmet, day trade margin call, some rules & calculations used in calculating day trading buying power & subsequent day trade calls change and can become more stringent.

Great stay. Very good breakfast, warm accommodations, and the owners even made our dinner reservation for us to make everything easy.

We spent 2 nights for our 49th Anniversary. It was the best B&B we have ever rented. Breakfasts were exceptionally good. Hospitality was unequaled. The owner, Carolyn, was an absolute delight. The grounds were terrific with every kind of flower, tree and plants that you can imagine. Our room was perfect for the occasion. It would be hard to beat a stay at Wildflowers Farm.

What a beautiful place to stay! Great service, the room was clean and everything you would need. The stream that runs through this property and all the different places to walk around and just relax were great!! Rope swings in numerous places reminds me of growing up at my grandparents. Would definitely stay here again if the need arises.

My wife and I stayed two nights, stayed until checkout and were not ready to leave. The owner was genuinely kind. Breakfast was delicious, different each morning and unique from breakfasts at other locations. Very beautiful property.

WE arrived at this lovely property to discover that our reservation was not known--the owner was non-plussed to see us at all! But she rallied and got us into another room, a good deal smaller than the one we had booked (we thought), but quite nice. The snafu was in reality my problem since I never received from her a confirmation letter. She could not have been nicer; we were so glad a room was available. The breakfast was unusually tasty. Seek this place out. You will not be disappointed.

The rooms are nicely decorated, the landscaping has plenty of dreamy outside spaces to read, write or daydream. The breakfasts that are provided by Carolyn were scrumptious; hot coffee, stuffed pancakes, fresh fruit. Im drooling just thinking about them. I will stay there again.

It was absolutely beautiful! My new bride actually cried because she couldn't believe I found a place for us to stay that was so pretty for our wedding night.

Amazing place to getaway to. My wife and I had a wonderful time! It was clean and the breakfast was amazing.

I stayed at Wildflowers B & B overnight, on the way to pick my high schooler up from camp. I have stayed in many B & Bs and this place is amazing! The room was beautifully decorated, very clean and private. We enjoyed sitting and chatting with the owner when we returned from a wonderful dinner in Paducah. As a dog lover, I enjoyed playing with Bella the Chihuahua and Daisy the Long-haired Daschund. Breakfast was delicious, served out on the back patio, surrounded by the beautiful flowers and trees. The rate was very reasonable; great value, wonderful hospitality and an awesome experience.

Vintage parachutes and gold foil are just two of the unconventional materials NYC-based designer Patrik Ervell uses in designing his chic, utilitarian collections of men's and women's clothing. His love for classic shapes and uniforms of all kinds is evident in his reinterpretations of police sweaters, classic bomber and varsity jackets, field coats, standard button-down shirts, suiting, and back-to-basic trousers. Concealed button plackets, single needle tailored construction, button-less collars and oxidized iron and copper fabrics give Ervell's work an austere, industrial elegance. Since launching his label in 2005 from Open Ceremony's NYC store, Ervell has won the Ecco Domani Award for Menswear and become a perennial nominee for the CFDA's Menswear award.

Joe Arpaio
The 24-hour news cycle is filled with politics coverage, but not everything gets the attention it deserves. Here are five politics stories you may have missed in the past week.

Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's criminal trial opened Monday over his defiance of the courts in traffic patrols that targeted immigrants, marking the most aggressive effort to hold the former lawman of metro Phoenix accountable for tactics that critics say racially profiled Latinos. Continue reading
In our news wrap Thursday, President-elect Donald Trump still faces legal troubles over his now-defunct Trump University. A federal judge in San Diego refused to issue a blanket ban on using campaign statements as evidence in the civil lawsuit, which goes to trial Nov. 28. Also, on Tuesday night, anti-Trump protests erupted in at least 10 cities across the country. Continue reading
Arpaio's political invincibility ended Tuesday when a little-known retired Phoenix police sergeant unseated him after 24 years in office. It marked a stunning fall for a lawman whose reputation as an immigration enforcer made him wildly popular among conservatives nationwide. Continue reading
Protesters blocked a main highway leading into the Phoenix suburb Saturday where Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was preparing to hold a campaign rally alongside Arizona's revered Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Continue reading
PAHRUMP, Nev. — Nevada Republicans thought they had put their immigration problems behind them. Continue reading
WASHINGTON — Refusing to rule on the merits of the case, a federal judge has rejected an Arizona sheriff's lawsuit seeking to halt President Barack Obama's plan to spare nearly 5 million people from deportation. Continue reading
Among the evidence in the case is a set of Arpaio press releases and letters to Homeland Security officials that say more than 35 percent of immigrants living in Maricopa County illegally who wound up in Arpaio's jails in 2014 were repeat offenders, signifying in the sheriff's view that DHS has done a poor job of deporting criminals. Continue reading
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Arizona's contentious immigration law Wednesday, with focus on so-called show-me-your-papers provisions that authorize police to verify the immigration status of anyone suspected of being undocumented and arrest anyone believed to have committed a deportable offense. Tom Bearden reports. Continue reading

General practice attorneys perform a wide range of legal services but usually do not focus on a single area of the law. You will usually find a general practice lawyer in a small town, but big cities have them as well. You might consider a general practice lawyer as a "Jack of all Trades" who can give advice in many legal areas, represent you in common lawsuits and negotiations, and prepare everyday agreements and contracts. If you have a legal issue and aren't sure what type of lawyer should handle it, a general practice attorney is a good starting point. A general practice lawyer will refer you to an attorney who handles a specific practice area if necessary.
