Juggernaut Index, No. 28: The Cleveland Browns
The Juggernaut Index is our annual preseason ranking of NFL teams for fantasy purposes. Repeat: FANTASY PURPOSES. Here, we care about yards and points, not wins and losses. This isn't your standard NFL power ranking. If a team's roster features upper-tier fantasy assets, that group will rank near the top of the J.I. If instead a team features nothing but fantasy drek, you'll find 'em near the bottom. Make sense? Great. Really, the J.I. is just a gimmick, a way to deliver team-by-team fantasy spin.
Cleveland enters 2013 with yet another new head coach (Rob Chudzinski) — the team's sixth in the past 10 years — as well as a new general manager (Michael Lombardi), new offensive coordinator (Norv Turner), and a new owner (Jimmy Haslam). New management doesn't guarantee different results, however. In nine of the past 10 seasons, the Browns have posted double-digit losses. During that same period, Cleveland has ranked 25th or worse in total offense nine times.
In a nutshell, this franchise has been reliably bad over an extended period of time — except in that one season when Derek Anderson was briefly not Derek Anderson, and Braylon Edwards was not Braylon Edwards.
Still, the 2013 version of the Cleveland Browns will undoubtedly cough up a few fantasy assets. This guy will be the first of them selected in your draft...
Trent Richardson accounted for a huge percentage of his team's offensive touchdowns last season (12 of 28), a fact that allowed him to finish the year as a top-10 fantasy running back, despite his miserable per-touch production. He gained just 3.55 yards per carry as a rookie — not exactly what you like to see from an offensive centerpiece.
But Richardson also played with pain for most of the year after suffering a rib injury in Week 6. This is a talented back who runs behind a quality line, and he won't be forced to share the backfield touches in the year ahead. He caught 51 balls on 70 targets last season, so he's fully PPR-approved. It would be nice if Richardson could maybe learn when runs are over, so as to avoid unnecessary piling-on by tacklers. That's a worry. He's been dinged a few times in his very young NFL career. (He's currently dealing with a lower-leg issue, but it isn't expected to impact his availability for camp. No need to panic.)
In early drafts and mocks, I've seen Richardson go as early as the mid-first round and as late as mid-second. Given his less-than-ideal team context, I'm generally not eying him until the turn picks, just ahead of his current Yahoo! ADP (13.9). Again, there's no reason to sweat his touches; we all know Norv has a nice history with full-workload running backs. Montario Hardesty remains the handcuff in Cleveland, with Dion Lewis No. 3 on the depth chart.
The guy handing off to Richardson will again be Brandon Weeden, a second-year QB who turns 30 in October. He gets a shot to prove himself to the new coaching staff, and he'll find himself in an offense that should better suit his skill-set and his tendencies. Expect more shotgun looks from Cleveland under Chudzinski and Turner, and more vertical strikes. Fantasy owners won't need to mess with Weeden on draft day, of course — unless you're playing in a two-quarterback league — but he's not entirely hopeless. Yes, there are always 3-4 head-scratching throws per game with Weeden, but when he gets this dude back from suspension in Week 3...
...then he'll have at least one dangerous receiving threat at his disposal.
Josh Gordon was a revelation as a rookie in 2012, hauling in 50 balls for 805 yards and five scores, emerging as a tough downfield cover. He has the necessary size (6-3, 225) and wheels to be a star. Gordon's ceiling is plenty high.
Unfortunately, Gordon himself is occasionally plenty high. The league has suspended him for the first two games of the 2013 season for violations of the substance-abuse policy, and he may have already in Stage 3 of the program. If that's the case, he could face a full calendar-year suspension with another violation. His offseason partying choices aren't making him many friends in Cleveland, and he cannot afford another failed test.
Fantasy-wise, Gordon clearly offers more reward than risk, because his draft day price is dirt cheap (Yahoo! ADP 111.0). I'll stash him everywhere, if he's available in the mid-to-late rounds. His suspension is an inconvenience, sure, but your league's championship probably is not decided in Weeks 1-2. He's worth holding, no question.
The rest of this team's receiving corps is kind of a big bowl of ordinary, from Greg Little to David Nelson to Davone Bess to Travis Benjamin. Perhaps Little deserves final-round fantasy consideration; maybe Bess merits a look in deep PPR formats. But really, there are no obvious must-draft pieces in the Browns' collection of wide receivers, aside from Gordon.
Tight end Jordan Cameron, however, is an obvious breakout candidate. This is a sleeper movement I can get behind. Cameron is an athletic 6-foot-5 pass-catcher, now tied to a system that should feed his position early and often. Chudzinski is a known TE fetishist, most recently Greg Olsen's OC in Carolina. And of course Turner had a halfway decent history with the position in San Diego. Cameron has the talent to get deep himself for Cleveland, or take advantage of the underneath opportunities presented by a field-stretching offensive attack. I'm in. There's a lot to like about Cameron's situation, his skills and his draft price (135.3).
The Browns defense was a middle-of-the-pack unit in most areas last season, though they did a nice job prying the ball away from opponents (17 INTs, 16 forced fumbles). This is not a D/ST that you'll need to hold all season, start to finish, but the schedule may offer a few streaming opportunities (Miami, Buffalo, Jacksonville, NYJ). The IDP to know and target is LB D'Qwell Jackson, a guy with a pair of 150-tackle seasons to his credit. SS TJ Ward and CB Joe Haden belong on your IDP cheat sheets, too.
And that's that. If you'd like to file protests regarding Cleveland's placement in this scientifically formulated, rigorously tested fantasy index, please do so now in comments, after the feel-good image...

February 22, 2011 10:30 ET
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 22, 2011) - Two new research teams of top doctors and scientists from across Canada will embark on an ambitious goal to identify the genes that cause the most challenging types of cancer and rare diseases in children, and find new treatments.The announcement was made by the Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology), at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).He was joined by Royal Galipeau, MP for Ottawa-Orléans.
"Our Government is investing in promising medical research to improve the health of Canadians and strengthen our economy," said Minister Goodyear. "This investment in world-leading research will help find important new treatments for children with cancer and rare genetic diseases."
"The destructive impacts of these diseases on Canadians are recognized by our Government," said the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health. "By supporting these programs Canada will play a key role in the advancement of new technologies to find innovative treatments for Canadians affected by these devastating diseases."
The Government of Canada will invest $4.5 million for the two projects - $2.5 million from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, $2 million from Genome Canada, [$600,000] from Genome British Columbia and [$500,000] from Génome Québec. Researchers from the two teams are based in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
The two teams announced today are:
Finding of Rare Disease Genes in Canada (FORGE Canada)
The Canadian Pediatric Cancer Genome Consortium
"The next ten years in health research will be defined by our understanding of genomics and its effect on how we develop new treatment methods and monitoring tools," said Dr. Pierre Chartrand, Vice President of Research and Chief Scientific Officer for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. "Here at CIHR we are focusing on the application of a patient orientated research model, and you cannot get more patient oriented than helping defeat childhood cancer and rare diseases."
"Canada is now poised to take a leading position in disease gene discovery — opening up exciting new possibilities for diagnosis and treatment," said Dr. Pierre Meulien, President and CEO of Genome Canada.
For the past 10 years, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) has supported better health and health care for Canadians. As the Government of Canada's health research investment agency, CIHR enables the creation of evidence-based knowledge and its transformation into improved treatments, prevention and diagnoses, new products and services, and a stronger, patient-oriented health-care system. Composed of 13 internationally recognized Institutes, CIHR supports more than 13,600 health researchers and trainees across Canada.
Genome Canada is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to developing and implementing a national strategy in genomics and proteomics research for the benefit of all Canadians. Since 2000, Genome Canada has received $915 million in funding commitments from the Government of Canada to which has been added approximately $1 billion in co-funding commitments from other organizations to finance innovative, large-scale research projects in genomics and proteomics as well as Science and Technology Innovation Centres. This additional funding was secured in partnership with the regional Genome Centres, through the development of collaborative relationships and partnerships with the private, public and venture philanthropist organizations both in Canada and abroad.

Llandysul and Pont Tyweli and the surrounding area has a good network of walks that cover a variety of scenery and level of difficulty and that is still a well kept secret.
Llandysul and Pont Tyweli has led the way in Ceredigion in being awarded the Walkers are Welcome status. It was also one of the first in Wales to achieve that status.
Membership of Walkers are Welcome includes public liability insurance for walks organised by the group.
A major part of membership is a commitment to keep local footpaths open, to ensure that walkers are welcome in local businesses and to promote walking in the area.
As part of this, there is a programme of monthly guided walks as well as information on other local walks, both short and more challenging. Some of the walks are also particularly suited to families. Everybody is welcome to join us on these walks, but children should be accompanied by an adult. Walks cost £2.00 for non members. Children under 16-free unless otherwise stated in the programme.
Llandysul & Pont-Tyweli Walkers are Welcome have published a booklet of eight circular routes in and around Llandysul and Pont-Tyweli. Available from the Llandysul & Pont-tyweli Ymlaen Cyf office or as a download from this website.

SPGA is a proven solution to the backlog of IT work and strain on resources that typically occur when manually creating and provisioning large numbers of SharePoint site collections, and best of all it is absolutely free.
Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
PremierPoint Solutions will host a one-hour webinar July 16 at 11 a.m. EDT that explains a way to automate the SharePoint site collection creation process at no cost.
The webinar, "Introducing a Free Solution for Automating the SharePoint Site Collection Creation Process," will discuss and demonstrate a SharePoint self-service site collection creation tool that allows users to create and provision unlimited SharePoint site collections automatically, with all the capabilities and limits the administrator has specified.
The tool, Site Provisioning and Governance Assistant (SPGA) Free Edition, is designed to be used by organizations that need numerous SharePoint site collections created and provisioned on an ongoing basis, and want to ensure that their organization's SharePoint taxonomy, governance and other standards are adhered to consistently.
While manually creating SharePoint site collections is an option, it can be labor-intensive and tie up valuable IT resources, resulting in a backlog of site collections waiting to be approved and provisioned. The other alternative – letting users create their own site collections – usually results in no clear standards or consistency.
The webinar hosts are Aaron Wood, manager of commercial software engineering and support for PremierPoint Solutions, and Randy Moody, the company's customer service manager.
Wood has more than 12 years of experience in information technology, including SharePoint administration, SharePoint development, Microsoft SQL database administration, Windows Server and Linux administration, network administration, C# ASP.NET development, user support, training and project management.
As the webinar will explain, with SGPA the administrator simply "loads" all the appropriate site functionality, settings, security and limitations into "Site Request Profiles." Uniformity, governance and company standards are strictly enforced, enabling administrators to simply "set it and forget it."
Users then select the appropriate profile for the kind of site collection they need and initiate the automatic approval and site collection creation process.
SPGA is a proven solution to the backlog of IT work and strain on resources that typically occur when manually creating and provisioning large numbers of SharePoint site collections, and best of all it is absolutely free," Wood said.
SPGA is available for SharePoint 2010 and 2013. Click here to register for the webinar.
Based in Nashville, Tenn.,PremierPoint Solutions (formerly SharePoint Solutions) is a Microsoft Certified Partner and a nationwide leader in expert-led, in-person and online public classes on SharePoint products and technologies. The company's software division professionally develops high-quality commercial add-ons for SharePoint. Many of the company's courses and services are also applicable to Office 365.

Habs winger Devante Smith-Pelly has scored just once in 30 games since being acquired from Anaheim, but his second goal was huge, as it was the first goal of Montreal's Game 5 against Tampa Bay in second-round playoff action Saturday.
Montreal right winger Devante Smith-Pelly hasn't scored a lot of goals since he was acquired from Anaheim Feb. 24 – in fact, he'd scored just once in 30 games (regular season and playoffs combined) with the Habs heading into Saturday's second-round action against Tampa Bay – but his second goal was a big one, as it was the first of Game 5 in an elimination showdown for the Canadiens.
The 22-year-old Smith-Pelly, who the Ducks traded in exchange for left winger Jiri Sekac, may have been the beneficiary of another sub-par goal from Bolts goalie Ben Bishop in the first period Saturday at Bell Centre. But he still deserves credit for getting the puck just under the crossbar with a wrist shot at the 9:01 mark to make it 1-0 Montreal:
Smith-Pelly had five goals in 12 playoff games for Anaheim last season, so he does have the capability to produce more than he has this spring. If the Habs can avoid elimination, win Game 5 and head back to Tampa Bay for Game 6 Tuesday, they'd sure appreciate any offense the Scarborough, Ont., native can bring.

Jennifer Hudson performed at the 39th Annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 4th, held at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade.
Before the fireworks display, the Grammy- and Oscar-winning actress showcased her powerhouse vocal ability as she sang renditions of Nina Simone's 'Feeling Good' and Jennifer Holiday's 'And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going'.
The singer looked stunning wearing a Roberto Cavalli gown.
Her zebra-printed jersey dress which wrapped around her gorgeous figure was held together by a jewel-encrusted ring at the hip to highlight the deep neckline and dramatic front slit of a sultry floor-sweeping gown.
Opting for a selection of rings, Jennifer also accessorized her look with blush T-bar sandals.
Blunt bangs and a dark pink lip colour provided the finishing touches.

Genesis 43-44:17
Genesis 43:1-44:17
Skip Heitzig
|Genesis 43 (NKJV™)
|Now the famine was severe in the land.
|And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go back, buy us a little food."
|But Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man solemnly warned us, saying, 'You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.'"
|"If you send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food.
|"But if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, 'You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.'"
|And Israel said, "Why did you deal so wrongfully with me as to tell the man whether you had still another brother?"
|But they said, "The man asked us pointedly about ourselves and our family, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' And we told him according to these words. Could we possibly have known that he would say, 'Bring your brother down'?"
|Then Judah said to Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.
|"I myself will be surety for him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
|"For if we had not lingered, surely by now we would have returned this second time."
|And their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your vessels and carry down a present for the man--a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
|"Take double money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.
|"Take your brother also, and arise, go back to the man.
|"And may God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved, I am bereaved!"
|So the men took that present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went down to Egypt; and they stood before Joseph.
|When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, "Take these men to my home, and slaughter an animal and make ready; for these men will dine with me at noon."
|Then the man did as Joseph ordered, and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
|Now the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, "It is because of the money, which was returned in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may make a case against us and fall upon us, to take us as slaves with our donkeys."
|When they drew near to the steward of Joseph's house, they talked with him at the door of the house,
|and said, "O sir, we indeed came down the first time to buy food;
|"but it happened, when we came to the encampment, that we opened our sacks, and there, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it back in our hand.
|"And we have brought down other money in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks."
|But he said, "Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.
|So the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys feed.
|Then they made the present ready for Joseph's coming at noon, for they heard that they would eat bread there.
|And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.
|Then he asked them about their well-being, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"
|And they answered, "Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive." And they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves.
|Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."
|Now his heart yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and wept there.
|Then he washed his face and came out; and he restrained himself, and said, "Serve the bread."
|So they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
|And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked in astonishment at one another.
|Then he took servings to them from before him, but Benjamin's serving was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.
|Genesis 44 (NKJV™)
|And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack.
|"Also put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money." So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
|As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
|When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?
|'Is not this the one from which my lord drinks, and with which he indeed practices divination? You have done evil in so doing.'"
|So he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.
|And they said to him, "Why does my lord say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do such a thing.
|"Look, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?
|"With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."
|And he said, "Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be blameless."
|Then each man speedily let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack.
|So he searched. He began with the oldest and left off with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
|Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.
|So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there; and they fell before him on the ground.
|And Joseph said to them, "What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that such a man as I can certainly practice divination?"
|Then Judah said, "What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; here we are, my lord's slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found."
|But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my slave. And as for you, go up in peace to your father."

Love isn't always easy. The natural response to difficult people may be retaliation. After cruel treatment by his brothers, Joseph is placed in a powerful position--their fate is in his hands; however, rather than payback, Joseph chooses pardon. He sets a wonderful example for us of supernatural love for unlovely people.
The book of Genesis is rich with theology including creation, the fall of man, and justification by grace through faith. Genesis, the book of beginnings, provides foundational truths from which we can learn who God is and how He operates in the lives of His people.
In this study of Genesis, Pastor Skip Heitzig presents an in-depth examination and fresh perspective of familiar stories like the creation, Adam & Eve, Noah and the Flood, the call of Abraham, and Sodom and Gomorrah. This series offers solid information to equip believers with truth in today's battle against the lies of evolution, the basic goodness of man, and a "fairy tale" approach to the Bible.

In partnership with Maine Medical Center (MMC) in Portland Maine, TUSM offers a Maine Track for applicants who are interested in a unique, innovative curriculum that includes clinical training experiences in Maine. The Maine Track exposes medical students to the unique aspects of rural practice as well as training in a major tertiary medical center.
The majority of students complete an innovative nine-month Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) during third year. Based in many rural sites and in Portland, the LIC provides a strong educational approach and allows for excellent career exploration and close faculty mentoring. Students are assigned to third year options based on a selection choice where student preferences are taken into consideration regarding participation in the rural LIC, the Portland-based urban LIC or the traditional block clerkship.
Both Tufts and MMC have committed to aggressively pursue support that will allow Maine Track students to attend medical school without an unusual financial hardship. We are pursuing philanthropy and other options to address this need, and we are optimistic in out ability to secure additional funding to defray the cost of your medical education.
Students participating in the Maine Track will spend their first two years primarily on the Boston Campus, with some specific curriculum components done in Maine, and then move to Maine for the entire clerkship period in year three and most of the monthly rotations in year four.
Admission to the Maine Track is jointly selected by committees representing both TUSM and MMC. Applicants from Maine or with ties to Maine, and applicants with an interest in the practice of rural medicine are encouraged apply to the Maine Track Program.
Graduates of the program will receive a combined diploma from TUSM and MMC with the expectation that a significant number of graduates from the Maine Track will establish medical practice in Maine. Visit the Maine Track Admissions page for additional information on how to apply.
Early Assurance Program:
We offer a Maine Track Early Assurance Program for eligible students at participating institutions. The institutions currently in this program are: Bates College, Bowdoin College, Colby College and University of Maine (all campuses). This early assurance program offers successful applicants acceptance into the Maine Track of TUSM at the end of their sophomore year. As long as accepted applicants continue to fulfill all eligibility requirements, they will be guaranteed a seat in the entering medical school class two years later. Read more about the Early Assurance Program.
Tufts University School of Medicine and Maine Medical Center have announced that students who are scheduled to matriculate into the Maine Track may be considered for a $25,000.00 scholarship. Up to twenty students in each entering class may receive this scholarship based on criteria established by a Maine-based scholarship committee. These funds may be renewable for subsequent years.

For more than 200 years, the Patapsco Valley has been the focal point for historic events and scientific advantages that have transformed Maryland and the nation.
The Valley, and the Patapsco River that shaped it, harbored communities from the first settlements of the Delaware tribe to historic towns like Ellicott City and Elkridge that sprouted along the river in support of the earliest industrial development in America. The Valley's rich farm and rural lands and historic travel routes of road, river and rail created an environment that fostered innovation and transformation. It attracted bright minds and willing hands, which helped seal the Patapsco Valley's reputation of being a "valley of firsts".
Today, when we talk about technology corridors, we think of Silicon Valley in California or Route 128 in Massachusetts, but the Patapsco Valley can lay claim to being the first tech corridor in the new nation.
Firsts in technology and engineering included: the first successful steam-powered boat in the U.S.; the first African-American astronomer, Benjamin Banneker; the world's first multi-arched, stone railroad bridge designed on a curve, the Thomas Viaduct, now a national landmark; and Bloede Dam, the world's first underwater hydro-electric plant.
On May 24, 1844 Samuel F.B. Morse sent the first telegraphic message, "What hath God wrought?" along an experimental line from Washington D.C. to Baltimore that crossed the Patapsco River Valley and the Thomas Viaduct bridge.
The burgeoning population of the Patapsco Valley demanded innovation in transportation so that farmers, millers and manufacturers could get the raw materials needed for production as well as transport their finished products first to Elkridge Landing and later to Baltimore for sale and shipment around the world.
Transportation firsts to meet those needs included: the first-federally funded interstate known as the National Road; the first commercial railroad in America, the B&O; the first railway depot in the world, Ellicott Mills- now a national landmark; and Tom Thumb, the first successful steam engine in the U.S.
Even as industrialization shaped the region, the Patapsco Valley became a leader in conservation. The abundant natural resources centered on the Patapsco River and spreading outward along its tributaries included great stands of forests, outcroppings of granite and diverse plant and animal life. Recognized by the Olmstead brothers as a "greenway" in a rapidly developing corridor, the Valley was at the forefront of the conservation movement. In the mid- 1800's the first fish ladder in Maryland was constructed at the Orange Grove Flour Mill. And nearly 60 years later in 1907, the Patapsco Valley State Park was created as the first state park in Maryland. Expanded over the years from its original grant of 43 acres, the Patapsco Valley State Park now extends along 32 miles of the Patapsco River, encompassing 16,043 acres. It is a mecca for bikers, hikers and kayakers.
