End of Life Care
Four overarching themes have been identified to improve end of life care. These are:
- To engage wider society through a public health approach.
- To make best practice consistent across the region.
- To develop staff to deliver high quality evidence-based practice.
- To ensure planning, commissioning and delivery of care is better integrated to deliver seamless care.
- Identify resources to support individuals at end of life.
- Effective use of palliative care registers in supporting personalised care planning.
- Develop access to 24/7 support for those with end of life needs, ensuring that patient choice and wishes are respected.

Caring for the Dying Patient
The "Caring for the Dying Patient" document takes into account the issues raised within the Neuberger report and the recommendations in "One Chance to Get it Right", published in June 2014, which sets out the priorities for care when a person is dying.
It is imperative for good end of life care to have sufficient training in place for teams to manage patients well and to hold sensitive conversations with dying patients and their relatives. This document will help to support that process but forms only a small part of good end of life care.

Are you excited about the upcoming PS4 yet? Sony hasn't committed to an official release date yet, but they have said at least that the PS4 will be arriving during the 2013 Holiday period in the US. Another crucial piece of information that we haven't heard about yet is pricing, but retailers in the UK are already starting to have their say on individual game prices.
They can't make prices since they don't know what they are yet. So how can they be worried?
Didn't Sony already say that games will be at max $60US?
Why continue a dead rumour?
Its way too early. These are place holders until actal prices are given. They are just following the $10 increase from generation to generation.

In two Candidates Nights over the past several weeks, the four Easton City Council candidates have been met by fewer people than sit in the average classroom.
But while the voters may not seem serious, the candidates definitely are.
What started months ago as a very low-key campaign for two council seats has evolved in the past two weeks into a fairly active race, centering on issues like the conduct of the city's Zoning Hearing Board, economic progress, solid waste and the continual decrease in federal aid.

|Sparse Online Learning of Image Similarity with Application to Image Retrieval
|Date:2017/2/14 Browse:911
Seminar Topic: Sparse Online Learning of Image Similarity with Application to Image Retrieval
Speaker: Xingyu Gao
Time: Feb. 14, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 a.m.
Venue: Room 1A-200, SIST Building
Image similarity search plays a key role in many multimedia applications, where multimedia data (such as images and videos) are usually represented in high-dimensional feature space. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for learning sparse distance functions from large-scale high-dimensional data and explore its application to image retrieval. In contrast to many existing learning algorithms that are often designed for low-dimensional data, the proposed algorithms are able to learn sparse distance metrics from high-dimensional data in an efficient and scalable manner. Our experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better or at least comparable accuracy performance than the state-of-the-art approaches, but enjoys a significant advantage in computational efficiency and sparsity, making it more practical for real-world applications.
Xingyu Gao, Assistant Professor with Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received Ph.D. from Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he was Ph.D. student of School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. His research interests include machine learning, multimedia information retrieval, and ubiquitous computing.

New research: one in three adults have pre--diabetes
New research "bombshell": one in three adults have pre--diabetes.
With diabetes predicted to cost New Zealand more than $1 billion a year, blueberries could cut risk by 26%.
Research1 published recently in the British Medical Journal reveals that more than one in three adults has pre--diabetes.
Pre--diabetes is a term used to indicate raised blood sugar levels, and it means there's a greater risk of developing full--blown Type 2 diabetes in future.
"This study has taken us all by surprise – it's been a bit of a health bombshell," says Dr Stephen Lawrence, a clinical adviser on diabetes to the Royal College of General Practitioners.
In New Zealand, conservative estimates suggest that at least one in five adults has pre--diabetes, with the figure growing all the time.
By 2021 it's predicted that nearly half a million New Zealanders will be Type 2 diabetics – costing the country more than $1 billion a year.
Diabetes New Zealand calls it "an epidemic".
Help is available from an unexpected source.
A major study2 led by the Harvard School of Public Health concluded that eating three servings of blueberries a week could cut the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by a staggering 26%.
This is more than twice as effective as any other fruit in the study.
Researchers believe that's because blueberries in particular contain high levels of anthocyanins, which are antioxidant flavonoids.
Flavanoids have been linked to lower blood glucose levels, improved insulin concentrations, and alleviated symptoms of diabetes.
No wonder the American Diabetes Association calls blueberries a "diabetes superfood".
Fresh blueberries are available in New Zealand from November to April, with frozen blueberries an equally nutritious alternative all year round.

An Opera by Philip Glass
Libretto by Martina Winkel
Bruckner Orchestra Linz
Conducted by Dennis Russell Davies
Regarded as one of the most important composers of our
time, minimalist pioneer Philip Glass continues to enthrall
audiences around the world with his ever-evolving operas,
orchestral works, and film scores. With
Kepler, Glass pushes into the sonic and celestial
beyond in a concert version of his opera about Johannes Kepler
(1571-1630), a founding father of modern science who discovered the
laws of planetary motion.
Spacious, elemental, and imbued with wonder, Glass' hypnotic score becomes the sound of the cosmos as we witness Kepler struggling to reconcile scientific discovery with the divine. Celebrated conductor Dennis Russell Davies and Bruckner Orchestra Linz support a stellar cast and 42-member chorus drawn from the Upper Austrian State Theatre, Linz, in this illuminating portrait of science at the dawn of our modern age.
Featuring soloists and choir of the Upper Austrian State
Theatre, Linz
Commissioned by Upper Austrian State Theatre, Linz, and by Linz09, Cultural Capital of Europe.

Thank you for adding the wish list option! It will be a great tool to store titles I would like to purchase later.
How about adding the ability to be notified by email whenever an item in your wish list goes on sale?
I agree that it would be very helpful to be notified when a wish list item goes on sale.
Wish list is a great addition to our site. It would be great if we could build our own package for a % off. The larger the $ amount combination with # of items would determine the discount. Thats just an idea because some of us have already books that are part of an existing pkg. #plausible
Can wish-list be used to request titles that do not currently appear on Olive Tree's book shelves?
Not at this time. It currently only works for titles that are available for purchase.
I know this feature is on iOS and the Mac App, but I would like it when using Internet browsers it would show the current item we are viewing if it has already been purchased or not, and or, if it's in our wishlist.

Dog Exercise, or How To Spend Less Money on that Dog
How can you spend less money on your dog? Just keep him or her fit with physical activity. When you give your dog exercise on a regular basis, not only do you have a happy pup, but caring for your dog is much cheaper and easier. Consider:
- a dog with a chronic illness needs to see the vet more often...and more vet bills
- a dog with a chronic condition needs regular medication
- sometimes you can't schedule the vet after work or on the weekend and you have to take time off work for appointments or just to be at home
- you don't have to replace shoes or furniture or fences (or what-not) because your dog has decided to get busy out of boredom or nervous energy
- you can spend less money on training since training happens during exercise time
And with that extra money (and time) you've freed up, you can spend it on an chunky, knotted rawhide chew or an ergonomic foam memory dog bed (way cool) or some other treat for your deserving pooch.
Sometimes dogs do get sick and there is just nothing you can do. A dog may be born with a condition or catch some debilitating disease. However, there are many canine conditions that can be avoided (like many heart diseases)--or at least less serious (such as arthritis)--with good health and fitness.

Just Because I Didn't Walk Him Today Doesn't Mean I Don't Love Him
I know, I know. So then, why don't some of us loving dog owners get our dogs out of the house?
We're too busy -Yes, you are busy, but you still have got to make health a priority, yours and your dog's. Because feeling out of shape sucks. Start by picking one small thing you can give up (20 minutes sleep? Law & Order?) in exchange for a little play time or a walk. See more on Making Yourself Walk The Dog.
Exercise is boring - OK so don't exercise--play! It's all play to your dog anyway. Walking, running, fetch, Frisbee, agility training, any of it--it's all a game to Fido. So since he's having fun, do something that is fun for you too. Some suggestions:
- Bring your girlfriend, boyfriend, mate, kids, mom, dad (or whomever) on the walk with you the dog.
- If you can, incorporate your dog in your workouts like running, biking (with a special bike guide for dogs), skate, swim or hike.
- Some other things you can do with your dog for exercise
- Hide and Seek - Dogs just love to find things, especially you. Tell your dog to sit-stay, find a great hiding place, call out her. Reward with treat.
- Fetch - A great game to get the dog moving even if you can't do a lot of running. You do have to first spend a minute training your pup on the "drop it" command.
- Frisbee/Disk Throwing - Many dogs find this fun. Start by rolling the disk on the ground like a wheel and when he is used to chasing and bring back the disk. you can start tossing the disk to the left or right of the dog.It takes time for both of you to get it, so you might want to check out a site and book for more instruction.
It's cold - Your dog still needs to get out. You will probably be doing less of it, especially when the weather is extreme. But give it a go on days that are not so bad. It's likely your dog won't mind the snow as much as you. So bundle up, bundle up Rover if he is sensitive to the cold. Just tell yourself you are only going out for 10 minutes and get out there.
If your dog has been outside in the snow or ice, wipe off her paws, legs and stomach each time she comes in. This will help protect the sensitive pads from becoming irritated by the chemicals used to melt ice and remove small snow or ice balls that might be caught in the fur and in between the pads of the feet.
Starting Your Exercise Plan
How much exercise should your dog get? A couple of 10-minute walks? Half hour games of fetch? A good long run every day? This can depend on several things: your dog likes, what you like to do, your pup's physical condition, and his natural inclinations (for instance, some breed types are more inclined to long walks and others for games).
If you have a healthy dog, 30-minute workouts at least four days a week are needed for good health. Two 15-minute romps are as good as one 30-minute session. Highly active dogs should get more sessions during the week to work off the energy.
Dogs who are overweight also need more activity in order to shape up. However, you have to start small and add activity gradually. For instance, if your pudgy pooch has had no regular activity for quite some time, start with 10- to 15-minute leisurely walks on at least 5 days.
And don't think, taking an hour long walk on Sunday will make up for a week of inactivity. This could actually harm your dog if he is not in shape or suffers from certain conditions like arthritis.
Exercise is crucial to your dog's good health, her physical health as well as her mental well-being. Make it a priority and work it in your schedule, and your efforts will pay off more than you know.
This is a great story Tracey. We had a red heeler for years, and she used to get her exercise chasing the cat around the yard, poor cat didn't like it much:-)
Hi! I was giving a friends blog some social posting love and kept seeing your post about dog health on board after board as just having been posted. It's a great article! I have two american bull terriers and I know what work it can be to keep them healthy.
I gave your hubpage the social posting love on 23 sites. I hope ot brings you more viewers. You have agood message!

Before The Bell: China's Biggest Risk; CROCodile Rock!
China's biggest risk is a slowdown in the U.S. Do the CROCodile Rock! Futures are up this morning.
FT reports China's commerce ministry is warning that the slowing of global growth stemming from the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis represents the "biggest challenge to China's economy next year." The Chinese government is concerned that a drop in Chinese exports would mark a "turning point" for the country's rapid growth. Chinese exports account for over 33% of the country's economic growth and 10% of overall GDP. Just four years ago, exports contributed nothing to headline growth figures. Read Todd's Eight Rays Of Light.
From the Bull Pen: Those bullish on both economies in the near-term may play the China 25 Index Fund (FXI); sell-stops below $178.80 (20-DMA) or $170.00 (uptrend from August low) for those with a longer-term risk profile.
From the Bear Cave: Should global growth concerns manifest, bears may see a play in General Electric (GE); buy-stops placed above $38.40 (trendline from November high).
CROCodile Rock!
The WSJ reports Crocs (CROX) unveiled 28 new models for its Spring 2008 collection. Crocs CEO Ron Snyder emphasized a strategy of function and comfort as well as fashion in an effort to diversify the company's product line. Crocs' stock has risen sixfold since its IPO in February 2006; however, shares plunged 36% earlier last month due to a disproportionate rise in inventories. Read Prof. David Nelson's Staying Honest With Losses and Prof. Jeffrey Cooper's Wall Street's Information Game.
From the Bull Pen: Professor Cooper has recently been bullish on CROX. Those bullish may place sell-stops below $40.90 which represents the trendline from the November low.
From the Bear Cave: A bearish play in the retail footwear space may rest in Timberland (TBL). Dr. Jon Najarian recently mentioned the company closing 40 stores nationwide with more to come in 2008. Bears may see a prudent entry should the stock rally to its 20-DMA ($16.10); buy-stops set above.

Meditation is a wonderful tool that increases feelings of peacefulness, contentment and connectedness. On a deeper level, meditation is a doorway into the unknown and helps you solve the mystery of who you really are.
Regular meditation can benefit you physically and psychologically.
It can reduce physical tension, fight stress, reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune system, increase your energy level, help control your anger, make your brain age slower, instill confidence and help you sleep better, to name a few benefits.
Plus, it helps eliminate negative thoughts that can prevent you from feeling happy and enjoying your life.
It works as a natural prescription for people who wish to have control over their thoughts. This powerful tool is free and can be practiced by anyone, anywhere.
It will take a while to master the art of meditation, but once you do, you will notice how calm your body and mind are and how relaxed you feel.
Meditation is not easy but not at all impossible. One step at a time can help you master this ancient art.
Here are the top 10 tips on how to meditate for beginners.
1. Choose the Right Place and Time
Especially when you are a beginner, it's important to choose the right place for meditation. You need a place that is comfortable and free from distractions.
For instance, if you wish to start practicing meditation indoors, choose a room that is cool and well ventilated. Dim the light, turn off the TV and radio, close the windows to block out street sounds and close the door for privacy.
You can put a scented candle, a bouquet of flowers or incense in the room to enhance your calming experience.
Just like the place, you need to choose a time when you're comfortable. In the beginning, meditate when you already feel most relaxed, like first thing in the morning or in the late evening.
Once you have learned the art of meditation, you can do it anywhere —your home, office, any open area and even in a crowded public place.
2. Maintain the Right Posture
Posture is important for meditation because proper posture helps you sit comfortably. The correct posture will also allow you to stay focused and remain alert and aware.
On the other hand, an incorrect posture may make you more likely to doze off and even lead to an obstruction in your breathing.
When meditating, sit with your legs crossed and keep your spine straight and erect, with your body also in a relaxed state. This upright posture helps you concentrate on your breathing while you inhale and exhale in a slow and deep manner.
Your head should be facing straight ahead, with your face, jaw and eyes relaxed. Rest your hands on a cushion or your lap, so that your arms are relaxed.
It is not at all advisable to meditate while lying down.
3. Remove Potential Distractions
As a beginner, you may notice a lot of distractions while meditating.
The sound of water dripping from a tap, the whirring of the air conditioner or fan, a barking dog or the sound of a moving vehicle outside —these are just some examples of the numerous things that can distract you.
While it is not possible to get rid of all types of distractions, you can take control of many things. Try to remove such distractions before you sit down to meditate.
For instance, you can grab a light snack if you're feeling hungry, drink water if you are thirsty, use the restroom if you need to and settle down your pet, so that all the necessary things that you may be concerned about are taken care of.
When it comes to meditation, make sure that you dedicate a time for it when you know you won't be disturbed. You will not be able to focus if your mind is continuously thinking about something else.
4. Wear Comfortable Clothes
We wear different clothes for different activities and meditation is no exception. In fact, wearing the right clothes for meditation is just as important as choosing the proper ambience and a convenient time.
If you wear tight clothes like jeans, you may be physically uncomfortable. This will make it hard to stay calm and meditate.
Anything tight will restrict the body from reaching its relaxation state. Moreover, tight clothes will limit your own movement and cause poor circulation.
Choose clothes made of breathable fabrics, such as cotton or silk. The clothes should either fit loosely or feel expandable. Loose and comfortable clothes will ensure proper circulation and improve your concentration level.
When meditating, wear loose and comfortable shoes or be sure to take off your shoes.
5. Do Some Stretching
Meditation requires sitting in one spot for a certain period of time. In fact, those who are new to meditation often find it very difficult or uncomfortable to sit still for several minutes.
This is why it is recommended to do some light stretches before beginning your meditation session to minimize any tension or tightness.
Stretching will help loosen up any muscle tension, improve circulation and reduce restlessness to make your body feel lighter. Stretching also relaxes your body, so that you can sit steadily for a longer time.
Do some light stretching for 10 minutes before your meditation session to prepare both your body and mind. Stretching the hamstrings, back and shoulders can help you sit more comfortably.
6. Follow This Deep Breathing Exercise
When meditating, give yourself something positive to focus on, like your breath.
As soon as you start concentrating on your inhalations and exhalations, thoughts about the outside world fall away on their own. It is one of the easiest ways to avoid worrying about things that can cause stress and divert your mind.
Deep breathing slows your heart rate, helps you relax and prevents random thoughts from intruding into your present state of mind.
- Sit up straight in a comfortable position.
- Start counting your breaths as you inhale and exhale in a slow and deep manner. Make sure that your belly expands as you breathe in and contracts as you breathe out.
Keep your breathing as natural as possible and soon the sound of your breathing will transport your mind to a totally different world.

City of the Dying Gods
Monthly Actions & How They Work
After one month (or whatever period of time seems appropriate, as needed) Cults are allowed to take Cultic Actions based on their five traits. There are four basic actions, designed to increase the power of a Cult, and many miscellaneous actions which can be taken for other purposes. In addition, traits can be spent to perform divine activities, also.
Basic Action:
Increase (trait): In every case, a roll is made using the combination of the trait which the God seeks to increase, combined with one of the other traits. (Divinity cannot be raised in this fashion). The trait to be combined is determined when a role is made, and cannot be changed unless a God's Divinity trait increases. At this point, as the God determines new things about itself, a change can be made, but if it is made, it remains attached in the new combination until such time as Divinity increases again (or decreases, should such an unfortunate event occur).
Hence, to increase Sacrifice, for instance, a Cult would roll all dice available in Sacrifice, combined with one of the following pools: Belief, Fervor or Doctrine. The same would apply for each other of the non-Divinity Cultic traits. All of them can have the same secondary trait (though one cannot simply double a trait, so no Sacrifice-Sacrifice roll could be made) but unless that secondary trait is very impressive, it will quickly be diminished by use. It is better to combine the traits in a variety of ways, so that no matter what traits are available, some rolls can be made.
Success on a basic roll is determined by getting a set with a height at least equal to the new total, thus, to get to Sacrifice 4 would require a set of at least 4 Height. Width does not matter, except see below.
Rank 6: Six is the highest rank that a trait can achieve, and as such, it is very difficult to get to. A width 3 set of height 6 or higher is needed to achieve Rank 6, and only one attempt can be made in a given month; this is the only roll that can be made to increase the trait in that month.
No more than two increases can be made in a trait in a month, no matter how many dice may be available; and for rank 6 only one attempt at all can be made, successful or not.
Miscellaneous actions:
Convert—Roll Fervor+Doctrine. Applied against an enemy Cult to get members to leave the Cult and join your own. Roll vs. Belief of the Cult. Success drops Belief. Bonus width converts to a Doctrine.
Crusade—Roll Fervor+Sacrifice. Applied against an enemy Cult to slaughter them. Roll vs. Fervor of the Cult. Success drops Fervor. Very obvious. Defended by Fervor+Belief.
Disprove—Doctrine+Belief. Applied against an enemy Cult to get members to leave the Cult for…well, whatever it is they get up to afterwards. Roll vs. Belief Defended by Belief+Doctrine.
Corrupt—Fervor+Doctrine. Spies and infiltrators corrupt a rival Cult. Roll vs. Doctrine. If successful, enemy cult loses Doctrine.
Softness—Doctrine+Sacrifice. Your followers show that they are more devoted to their principles than other worshipers. Roll vs. Sacrifice. If successful, Sacrifice of rival Cult drops. Defended by Belief+Sacrifice.
Construct—Doctrine+Sacrifice. Gets your followers to build stuff for you, without you having to do anything. They will, if at all possible, find the resources. The height of the roll determines how close to your ideal the work will come.
Perform Rites—Doctrine+Belief. Gets your followers to perform a great rite, which will produce a benefit to the Cult. The amount of benefit is determined by the height of the roll, and the duration of the benefit by the width of the roll.
Willing Martyrs—Sacrifice+Belief. Gets your followers to give of themselves so strongly that they produce raw mana. This mana is stored at the time of production. The amount produced is equal to the height of the roll, multiplied by the width. It must be absorbed before the end of the month in which is it produced, or it will fade into the atmosphere.
Proselytize—Fervor+Belief. Your followers will go into the wilds and convert the unaligned (or similarly, into the heart of the city). The width is the only important thing, being immediately convertable into bonus dice to apply to any roll for that month (as if it were Divinity).
Minor Uses:
Belief: Communicate new doctrine or messages to all followers. Generate contentment among followers (+1 to effective Belief for passive defensive purposes only)
Fervor: Produce a minor tactical advantage (1 effective Fervor for passive purposes only)
Sacrifice: Generate Mana equal to level of Sacrifice being spent (ie, if you're at 4 dice going to 3, get 4 mana; if you're on your last die, get only 1). Create flagelents (+1 effective Sacrifice for passive purposes only).
Doctrine: Create a minor environmental effect appropriate to your Godhood. Left alone, it will not last for very long (a month or so) but can easily be maintained as part of Cultic existence. Scholasticism (+1 effective Doctrine for passive purposes only).
(note: there is no roll required for any of these, but they do consume a die when used)
Divinity is wild and can be added to any roll. Each time it is added, any and all Divinity dice added to the roll are spent; they can replace dice that would otherwise be spent, however. For example, if a Cult were rolling 2 Sacrifice dice and 3 Doctrine dice, and added 1 Divinity to the mix, it could replace as spent either one of the dice. If 2 Divinity were added, they would replace both dice, leaving the original pools of 2 and 3 untouched. If more than 2, they would replace both dice, but would still all be spent. This should only be done when a success is greatly sought after.

I don't know why 32 weeks is such a big milestone for me, but it is. There are four major milestones throughout pregnancy at 12, 20, 32, and 37 weeks. But I think 32 weeks is where a lot of expecting parents take a big sigh of relief and realize that the chance of anything going majorly wrong at this point is unlikely.
I had some cervical issues while pregnant with Ben. We had a scare at 26 weeks and at that point, it was the scariest time of the pregnancy. There was so much uncertainty about whether or not he'd be born at that time and if so, would he make it? The goal was to get out of micro-preemie status (32 weeks) and take it week-by-week. Once we got to 32 weeks, we could feel comfortable again.
We made it to 32 weeks. We had made it to the part where we could really feel confident that we'd be bringing a baby home and we were getting the last bit of necessities together. His nursery was coming along and Eddie had just put the glider together. His clothes were detagged and washed. The car seat was installed. We had celebrated the fact that Ben had flipped head-down – all at once and with such force that it scared our dog, Max. An entire person had just done a somersault inside of me.
It was after this point that he was diagnosed with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia at 33 weeks and 3 days. It would be even longer (at 37 weeks) before the results of the amniocentesis would turn a nightmare into a tragedy.
I was alone with Ben for a short time while Eddie walked our family out (to the car? I'm not sure). There were so many things I wanted to say to him that I had saved for the moment we'd meet face-to-face, although of course I'd imagined that moment going differently than it had. So in between the I'm-sorries and goodbyes, I told him that we were so ready for him. He was so wanted. So loved. I was so sad he had to go, but happy he was here.
And now I find myself sending these messages to Paisley. We're putting the finishing touches on her nursery. Her clothes are detagged and washed. The car seat is installed. And after much procrastination, we've finally gone through Ben's clothes to determine which items are neutral enough for a girl. We are so ready for you. You are so wanted and loved. And then…I can't wait to watch you grow.
Growing is definitely a hobby of hers. She's now estimated to be about 4 pounds 7 ounces. To put it in perspective, that's just 5 ounces shy of how big Ben was…at birth. We still have another month and a half to go. All of her measurements are in the 50th percentile range. Her weight is right on target. Nothing is unclear or uncertain about her ultrasounds. Her first of weekly NSTs was yesterday and it was perfect. It's all so different.
But you know what really gets me? The thought of her crying on her birth day – just because she can. Because she can breathe. Nursing. Kicking. The thought of her opening her eyes. Taking her home.
Part of me wants to add a disclaimer, something indicating that I know it's possible that things won't be perfect. That maybe she'll need some help in the beginning for whatever reason. Or if she's born sometime between now and term, maybe she'll have to stay at the hospital for a little bit. But today, I am 32 weeks pregnant – again – and I don't want to be jaded by the things that can go wrong. I want to take a big sigh of relief.
To update on Eddie, things are going well in some ways and not-so-much in others. Most of the issues at this point are administrative. I still have yet to hear back from the detective. And the neurosurgeon's office won't complete his FMLA paperwork because he didn't have surgery. And now we have to find a new neurosurgeon.
Eddie tried to space out his pain medication and it didn't go over well. But his mobility has improved a bit and, in true Eddie fashion, he's powering through the work day.
I think we're both just holding out hope that he'll be in good shape by the time Paisley is born so he can at least be as involved in labor with her as he was with Ben and so he can pick her up on his own and hold her – without a brace to separate them. Just a normal, natural experience is the hope at this point.
That's another thing that makes my heart race. The thought of watching Eddie be a father again. And there goes the emotional roller coaster again…

Two Reports Show Ecumenical Progress
Despite differences, there are many parallels in the way Catholics and Methodists foster and express communion with God and one another through their respective church structures, says a report released on May 13 by the U.S. Catholic-United Methodist dialogue. The 20,000-word report, titled Through Divine Love: The Church in Each Place and All Places, is the result of nine dialogue sessions over the past five years. Through the biblical concept of koinoniacommunion or fellowshipit clarifies the theology of the church as developed in the Catholic and Methodist traditions, with their different understandings of local and universal church. It explores the church as a means of grace and differences and commonalities in Catholic and Methodist views of mission, baptism and Eucharist. In its conclusion the report cites the imperative of common mission for all. It encourages Catholics and Methodists to continue current collaboration and develop new ways of deepening common witness.
A statement of agreement on Mary released by the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission means that Mary is no longer a church-dividing issue, said Archbishop Peter F. Carnley of Perth, Australia, at a news conference in Seattle. Overall, he said, we're making the whole concept of Mary accessible to people so that people who perhaps have not explored the topic before can understand why it is significant in the Catholic tradition, and they'll be able to find something which will enrich and develop their own Christian faith. Archbishop Carnley is the Anglican co-chairman of the commission, and Archbishop Alex J. Brunett of Seattle is the Catholic co-chairman. The two church leaders spoke at a news conference on May 16, hours before celebrating a solemn vespers service in St. James Cathedral. The statement released by ARCIC the same day, titled Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ, said: We believe there is no continuing theological reason for ecclesial division on these matters.
High Court Accepts Case on Abortion
This fall the U.S. Supreme Court will hear its first case about access to abortion in five years, when it considers the constitutionality of a New Hampshire law requiring parental notification before minors can have abortions. The court agreed on May 23 to review a ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit that the parental notification law of 2003 was unconstitutional, because it did not provide for an exception in case of a medical emergency. The state's appeal said other state laws would apply to override the notification requirement if the mother's health was at risk, so such a provision was unnecessary in the 2003 law.
Pope's Death a Lesson on End-of-Life Treatment
The treatment of Pope John Paul II during his last days demonstrated that medical personnel are not ethically required to do everything when someone is dying, a priest-physician said on May 19. Myles N. Sheehan, S.J., senior associate dean at Loyola University's Stritch School of Medicine in Maywood, Ill., noted that the pope did not die in the intensive care unit of a hospital, but remained in his apartment. The pope's doctors also did not go through the whole menu of possibilities to carry out every medical procedure, according to the priest. In his final days, when the pope was informed of the gravity of his condition, he asked if hospitalization was necessary. When doctors said it was possible to care for him in the Vatican, the pope decided to stay in his apartment, a spokesman told reporters at the time. Overly aggressive intervention can be medically and morally wrong, and distract from the patient's preparation for the end of life, Father Sheehan said.
Sister-Citizen Willing to Serve but Not Bear Arms'
When she arrived at the federal building in downtown Baltimore, Aine O'Connor, of the Sisters of Mercy, who is Irish through and through, was nonetheless looking forward to taking the oath of allegiance that is the final act in becoming a U.S. citizen. There was just one problem: a part of the oath to which the assistant to the president of Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore could not and would not agree. It was the section about swearing to bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law. She said she could not reconcile the call to arms with her religious training, personal belief and her order's mission to reverence the dignity of each person and pursue integrity of word and deed in my life. Before she went to the swearing-in ceremony on May 4, she had requested permission to take the oath without the bearing arms requirement. After checking its legality, a federal officer told her that when she took the oath, you don't have to say that piece of it. Sister Aine said there was another military-related section of the citizenship oath to which she was willing to swear - the part that calls for the performance, if required, of noncombatant service in the armed forces. "I was able to say yes to this," she said. "The Sisters of Mercy have a strong tradition of serving as nurseson both sides of the Civil War, in the Spanish-American War and [during] the influenza and yellow fever epidemics. I would also be willing to serve the needs of the people of Iraq and Afghanistan."
Austria Honors Pope's Elder Brother
In the presence of his younger brother, the pope, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger was awarded Austria's highest honor for contributions to science and art. Helmut Turk, Austria's ambassador to the Vatican, presented the Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and Art to the 81-year-old monsignor during a brief ceremony on May 19 at the Vatican. The presentation took place in a small room next to the Vatican audience hall before Monsignor Ratzinger and Pope Benedict XVI joined thousands of people to watch a movie about the life of Pope John Paul II. Monsignor Ratzinger is a musician and composer who for years directed the renowned boys' choir of the cathedral in Regensburg, Germany.
Bishops Mark 50 Years of CELAM
Bishops from throughout Latin America met in mid-May to celebrate the founding of the organization that has provided them with a platform for reflection and joint action over the past five decades, amid the revolutions, dictatorships and economic and political crises that have rocked the region. The Latin American bishops' council, known by its Spanish acronym CELAM, was a surprising new idea, born of joint reflection by the bishops of Latin America, Guzmán Carriquiry, under secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, told prelates and guests in a lecture at the opening of the assembly on May 17 in Lima, Peru. The assembly ended with a Mass on May 20. CELAM grew out of the first conference of the region's prelates in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1955. Although the assembly meets each year, subsequent conferences were held in Puebla, Mexico; Medellín, Colombia; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. A fifth conference is tentatively scheduled for February 2007 in Ecuador.
No Action Planned Against Legionaries' Founder
The Vatican has confirmed that it plans no canonical process against the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, Marcial Maciel Degollado, L.C., who was investigated for alleged sexual abuse of teenagers under his care. The Vatican confirmation came after the Legionaries issued a statement on May 20 saying that there is no canonical process under way into our founder, Father Marcial Maciel, L.C., nor will one be initiated. Father Maciel has consistently denied the accusations made against him. The confirmation was issued by Ciro Benedettini, C.P., a Vatican spokesman, after Catholic News Service asked him about the Legionaries' statement. The decision not to start a canonical process comes after Msgr. Charles J. Scicluna, an official of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, traveled to Mexico and the United States earlier this year to interview adults who said they were abused by Father Maciel, now 85, when they were teenage seminarians of the Legionaries.
Latin Patriarch Calls for Reconciliation
The Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah of Jerusalem prayed for God to reconcile the hearts of Palestinians and Israelis in his homily on Pentecost, May 15. He noted the date marked both Israeli independence day and the day Palestinians call Il-NakbaArabic for catastrophewhich Palestinians commemorate as the day of the loss of their land. Palestinian Christians are an integral part of those two events, he said. The fate of all human beings concerns us, whether it be their successes or their failures, their aspirations or their sufferings, said Patriarch Sabbah in his homily. Consequently, on this Pentecost Sunday, both events are part of our prayer.... We ask God to fill us with his Spirit and to recreate and reconcile the hearts of Palestinians and Israelis, and particularly the hearts of their leaders, so that they might become instruments of peace and justice for all.

How did the conflict start?
Tuareg rebels led a rebellion in the north of Mali in January 2012 in a bid for independence. The Malian military staged a coup in March 2012 and Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal fell to armed groups. The rebels broke off peace talks at the beginning of January 2013 and subsequently took control of Konna and Diabali, about 400km from the capital, Bamako. One of their aims was to introduce Sharia Law. French troops launched an offensive in early January 2013 and are supported by African troops. They recaptured Konna, Diabli and other towns as well as the airport at Timbuktu.
What are the effects of the conflict on Malians?
The north has seen aerial bombardments and heavy fighting and before the that rebel invasion of towns. Many people have fled the unrest either further south or to neighbouring countries. The UN said there were over 200,000 internally displaced people in Mali by the end of January 2013. Over 150,000 Malians have fled to Mauritania, Burkina Faso and Niger.
What are the difficulties Malians are facing as a result of the conflict?
As rebels took hold of the north of the country, communities were cut off from help. People have been killed during the conflict, endured sexual violence, torture, have disappeared and child soldiers have been used. Food prices are high, not just because of the conflict, but also because a poor harvest in 2011 led to a food crisis in 2012. Over 500,000 people need help getting food in the north. Malnutrition rates are very high in some places.
What is Caritas doing?
The president of Caritas Mali, Archbishop Jean Zerbo of Bamako, has asked for a humanitarian corridor to be opened to help those who have found themselves cut off by the conflict. Caritas is helping families in Mali cover their basic needs by providing food, shelter and help with healthcare and school fees. The conflict has meant that for Caritas and other agencies it has been too dangerous to work in the north. Meanwhile, in Burkina Faso Caritas is helping refugees by providing them with fuel efficient stoves and training in environmental protection. Caritas Niger has been helping refugees over the past few months by giving out food, health kits and coal.

I love watching TV shows on my days off or in my spare time. Currently all my favourite TV shows have either finished or on break, so I am trying to find something good to watch. If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments down below.
The Client ListNetflix just added this onto their website but there are two versions of it, which I didn't know. I watched the TV series awhile back and really enjoyed it. Since they have added this on Netflix, I decided to watch it again. I think Jennifer Love Hewitt looks amazing in this show. She works as massage therapist who is trying to support her family after her husband left her. They also have the movie series of this show as well, but I didn't like it so I would recommend you to skip it. Sadly this show was cancelled after two seasons.
The Walking DeadI know that I am so late on the bandwagon with this show. I have heard so many people on social medias talk about the Walking Dead but I had no interest in it. This is a new TV show that my boyfriend and I are currently watching together, and let me just say that I wish I watched this earlier! It is so good! I'm hooked onto it. We have been binge watching it the past few days and I'm almost done with season 2.
Switched at BirthSeason 5 just recently started about two months ago. I can't believe that this show was on break for two years—I almost forgot about it! The show is about two girls who were switched at birth (duh), one of the girl is deaf, having to lose her hearing at the age of 3 due to contracting meningitis.

Growing hazelnuts is an opportunity grow and harvest nuts at home without having to plant trees that will grow huge, and take years before they produce. Hazelnuts or American filberts are native to the American Midwest, and grow in fertile, well drained soil. They also make an attractive hedgerow or individual planting that grows about 10 feet tall and wide. Once established, they can produce heavily and consistently.
Hazelnuts can be propagated in two ways:
You can start new plants from nuts. They tend to take some time to germinate, and do best when planted in pots with light potting soil. When they do germinate, let them grow to at least 6 - 12 inches before you transplant them in their final home. If you try this method, use a file to scribe a small notch through the shell of the nut before planting. This is supposed to aid in quicker germination, and a higher percentage of overall germination.
An easier way to propagate is by digging starts from established bushes (if you can actually find source plants). Hazelnuts spread by underground runners that develop roots. These runners can be cut away from the main plant using a sharp digging spade. This is best done in the late fall after leaves have dropped and and the bushes have gone dormant. The roots of transplanted starts will continue to grow and develop until the ground freezes. This is how I started all of my hazel nuts, and they seem to have done quite well.
Of course there are nurseries that sell both native, European, and hybrid cross hazelnut plants, and you can order them through these businesses.
One of the most important keys to success in growing hazelnuts is starting your new plants off right. Don't skimp on the hole you dig for your new plants. Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball of the plant, and loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole as well. Loosened soil around the plants roots allows for quicker and healthier root formation.
See my page about planting fruit trees for more information on planting.
Hazelnuts usually begin to bear nuts in their 3rd or 4th year - similar to grafted fruit trees, but it may take 2-3 more years before they really take off and produce heavily.
Hazelnuts have both male and female blooms on the same plant which form during the prior year and remain dormant through most of the winter. They bloom very early in the year (late winter to early spring), well before leaves appear - usually by mid-March in southern Indiana. Pollination is accomplished by wind action, as few insects are active this early in the season.
Male (pollen producing) blooms are called catkins. Female (fruiting) blooms produce the nuts and are very small and easily overlooked. They look similar to leaf buds on branches, but they are rounder shaped with very small red threads coming out of them.
Nuts form in clusters called burrs, and begin to grow when leaves start to grow. These burrs can contain from a single nut up to about a dozen. Nuts ripen in mid fall, and the entire burr is picked, with nuts being removed later.
Harvest Hazelnuts in the fall when leaves and burrs start turning brown. Shuck the nuts from the burrs by pulling the two parts of the burr around the nut apart. Most of them will simply fall out at this point. Some will require a bit more effort.
Lay the nuts out on newspaper to dry for a few days before roasting them.
How many hazelnuts can you expect to harvest? Well, for reference I have a 30 foot hedge of hazelnuts, and last fall harvested 2 bushels of burrs, which when shucked, resulted in 3 gallons of clean nuts that I was able to roast, and enjoy eating and giving away as Christmas gifts.
The easiest way that I have found to roast hazelnuts is in the oven on a baking sheet.
Spread the nuts our evenly in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet and roast in a preheated 350° oven. Roast for 15 minutes, remove the pan and stir the nuts around, working the ones from the outer edge of the pan to the center, and and from the center to the outer edge. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
Allow them to cool and store roasted nuts in zipper bags. They can be stored in the freezer to help keep them tasting fresh through the year. Use a standard nut cracker to break the shells so you can enjoy the flavor of your own home grown, fresh roasted hazelnuts! Be careful though, once you start eating them, it'll be hard to stop.
Growing your own nuts at home doesn't have to mean a huge use of limited space or a decade of waiting time before you get your first harvest. Growing native hazelnuts in an ornamental shrub or a hedge row, can be a quicker, attractive and highly effective way to start harvesting early. Give it a try, and you'll not likely be disappointed.

Declining in the wild
As a kid, I remember collecting wild American Filberts (Corylus Americana) and Beaked Filberts (Corylus Cornuta) from hedgerows at my grandparents farm. We roasted them, and ate the small nuts for snacks. It's the only place in southern Indiana that I ever saw them growing.
After I grew up, I dug some starts and planted them at my home...then moved, planted more and moved again, then again, and finally settled down at a fourth (my present and hopefully final location). As a result, I left hazelnuts growing at four different locations in southern Indiana. It's a good thing I did, because the original bushes at the old family farm (having been sold) are long since gone. Victims of "modern" farming techniques that advocate removal of hedgerows to allow more room for planting.
Unfortunately, the beaked filbert bushes were long gone even by the time I wanted to dig starts. I've not seen beaked filbert bushes anywhere again.
I recently read an article that said they were extirpated (extinct) in Indiana as well as in Kentucky. This decline is partly due to farming techniques, but also because of a poorly understood decline in the plants throughout their range. What a shame and loss of biological diversity.

If someone stupid teenager says something stupid and another student calls them out on it being stupid, the person who posted the original content cannot cry or moan because they were the ones who put that up and responsibility falls completely on them for putting up there in the first place for scrutiny.

As it turned out, this decision was not the best and in the end, the company suffered losses.

A year later, the company management decided to reconfigure the company's activities and to develop further on another business model as a budget airline. This decision proved to be more than right and brought the company high profit. At the same time orders for the purchase of new jet aircraft were made.

Flight attendants, of course, not as nice as in the pictures, but people - gold! Assist, explain and do for you all that is in their power. Highly recommend!
Even in the three-hour flight well fed. Flight attendants attentive and smiling. Only the lack of business-class, and you can suffer because the service is worth the minuses.
Flew home to Moscow airport delay was already on 50 minutes, which is very surprising, always believed that they debugged all the details. And the rest of the flight went perfectly normal. All the necessary food, and wet wipes were given, at the same time, and took off and landed smoothly.
Most liked the speed of service, which is not worse than the planes of the international class. I recommend!
Flew with this airline many times. The last flight from Los Angeles to Auckland. We could fly in transit through China or Korea, but we chose to dock in LA, where we had to stay for a whole week. First there was a flight from Moscow (Aeroflot), then the Air NZ flight from London to Oakland with a landing in Los Angeles. In appearance, the Boeing 777-300ER ZK-OKP looks relatively new. Part of the British descended in America, in Los Angeles there were few passengers - about 70-80 people. The aircraft was filled approximately by 70%. Quite comfortable flight. During sleep I was located at 3 places. Food is enough (especially after Aeroflot), the crew is excellent, no turbulence was observed. The flight is completely satisfied. However, if there were no entertainment on the plane, it would be boring. The air-conditioning is weak, so it was stuffy on board. In general, the airline is not bad. Soon again I will use her services, accomplish the results.

Prompt from the #Trust30 initiative.
If we live truly, we shall see truly. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Not everyone wants to travel the world, but most people can identify at least one place in the world they'd like to visit before they die. Where is that place for you, and what will you do to make sure you get there?"
The one place I have always wanted to visit was Scotland. My father's family immigrated from Scotland, at some point. The specifics have been lost in the years since. That is part of the reason I would like to visit there. The main reason has to do with Scotland's most famous inhabitant, Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster! I have been fascinated by Nessie since I was 8 years old. I wrote several school papers over the years. Other kids were trying to get their request in to do unicorns and dragons, I wanted Nessie. I was surprised that no one else had the interest in the Loch Ness Monster that I did. Nessie might actually exist, while dragons certainly didn't. (For most of my childhood, the jury was still out on unicorns. Pegasus was a myth but I wasn't sure about unicorns.)
While it pains me to say that Nessie is likely a hoax, I still want to see Loch Ness. From the pictures I've seen of the area it appears to be beautiful, if cold. Then there is also Edinburgh and Inverness. I'm sure I could find a place to listen to traditional Scottish music and a nice meal. Yes, I enjoy bagpipes. Authentic haggis would be experienced once. No, really, I don't want to know what's in it.
Who knows, perhaps after a visit to a distillery, I may see Nessie myself?

Malaysia to prosecute employers abusing foreign workersFebruary 19th, 2008 - 12:43 pm ICT by admin
Kuala Lumpur, Feb 19 (IANS) The Malaysian government's labour department has received more than 800 complaints from Indonesian and 160 from Indian workers against ill treatment by local employers. The government has said it will come down heavily on the employers. Each of the 300 officers of the Labour Department will prosecute at least two cases each year, The New Straits Times said Tuesday.
The Labour Department has 45 cases pending - these include unpaid wages, unfair deductions of salaries and abusive employers.
The department's legal and enforcement chief Khamis A.R. Majid acknowledged that outsourcing companies, which bring in workers in large numbers before contracting them out to work with different employers, have caused many problems.
"We will do our best to inspect the outsourcing companies," he said, adding that cancelling the permits of such unscrupulous companies was not under his jurisdiction.
"We are serious. We are going all out to investigate those who employ foreign workers," he said at a conference on "Developing a Comprehensive Policy Framework for Migrant Labour" here.
Khamis said his department had also proposed that employers pay for the insurance for their domestic workers, failing which they would be fined a maximum of RM20,000 ($900 approx.) or jailed for two years.
In 2005-2007, 160 Indian workers complained to the government of being abused by their employers. The ill treatment was highest in the case of Indonesians, 805 of whom lodged complaints.
The number of Bangladeshis who complained was 130 during the same period, followed by Filipinos (127), Nepalis (88), Pakistanis (45) and Sri Lankans (8).
Two dance teachers, both women from India's Tamil Nadu state, were rescued and sent back home after they complained of non-payment of wages and physical abuse by their employers.
Malaysia depends heavily on foreign workers for its burgeoning economy. Their presence, both legal and those who are smuggled in by recruiting agencies and touts in connivance with the local authorities, is a major issue.
The government ordered curbs on the import of priests working at shrines of different faiths last month, denying that they were aimed at any community.
The action has caused concern in the Hindu community - there are two million-plus ethnic Indian settlers, predominantly Tamil Hindus - with temples finding it difficult to recruit priests locally because of the requirement of abstinence and long years of training.

Chennai, July, 2017: 'Security and Fire Expo (SAFE) – South India' 2017, the three day trade show by UBM India, that also organises of the signature IFSEC India expo, successfully concluded its third edition last week at the Chennai Trade Centre. Chief Guest, Mr. Abhay Kumar Singh, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Chennai, Tamil Nadu; and Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India, inaugurated the show amidst an august industry gathering. The show was supported by the Electronic Security Association of India (ESAI) and Asian Professional Security Association (APSA).
The show held between 29 June – 1st July 2017 this year, is the largest security and fire safety event in the region, bringing together Indian and global suppliers and manufacturers of renowned surveillance, entrance and home automation industry brands along with consultants, business experts and key government officials to congregate, interact, network, see the latest innovations from world's leading companies, source business solutions and gather invaluable expert support, all under one roof.
SAFE – South India 2017 offered market-entry and business opportunities to industry professionals in the region who view security as a well-planned, prioritized and strategic investment, rather than a knee jerk reaction. In its third year, SAFE India grew in size and depth, attracting industry leaders and key exhibitors including its Premier Plus Partners — eSSL, Hikvision, Mark Electronics GPS, Unicam Systems and TVT; its Premier Partners — In4 Solutions & Zkteco, Road Point India, Starex & Orbit.

The SAFE South India expo came to security professionals at a time when the government showed its commitment to enhance its security budget by as much as 35 per cent, which included creating a dedicated homeland security department, developing co-ordinated intelligence gathering, protecting critical infrastructure and upgrading maritime security.
Speaking on the successful completion of 'Security and Fire Expo (SAFE) – South India' 2017, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said, "Today, security and surveillance requires rapid growth amidst the constantly changing/upgrading technology and increasing industrial and residential establishments.

In just its 3rd edition, SAFE South India brought out to the forefront this need and in response by offering a wealth of innovative products and IT solutions to the south market which is an important business hub for commercial and homeland security in India."

Crucial offensive roles up for grabs as Dolphins near camp
The Miami Dolphins begin training camp on July 24, with the main questions for this squad being how quickly the offense can adapt to new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor's system and how effective the re-tooled offensive line will be in keeping quarterback Ryan Tannehill on his feet. However, there are also some position battles to sort out on both sides of the ball.
Here are four of the biggest ones:
Brandon Gibson vs. Rishard Matthews vs. Jarvis Landry
Gibson was brought in prior to last season to complement outside guys Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline, but the former Ram tore his patellar tendon in Week 8. Before his year ended, Gibson caught 30 balls for 326 yards and three touchdowns. He was also targeted more than eight times in four of the six full games he played in, showing that it didn't take long for him and Ryan Tannehill to build a solid rapport together.
When Matthews stepped in, he had a monster 11-catch, 120-yard, two-touchdown outing against the Bucs in Week 10 but didn't do a whole lot apart from that, disappearing in certain games. Now, with the addition of Landry via the draft and the rumors that he isn't one of head coach Joe Philbin's favorite players, Matthews knows he'll have to step his game up come training camp if he's to remain the backup slot guy. Meanwhile, Gibson didn't worth at 100 percent during OTAs and minicamp, which was likely just a precautionary measure. If he can prove he's over his injury and ready to re-kindle his connection with Tannehill, then the job is undoubtedly his to lose.
Lamar Miller vs. Knowshon Moreno
When the Dolphins signed Moreno back in late March, everyone expected him to give Miller some stiff competition for the starting job, if not take it altogether. Not so fast. Literally. Moreno came into camp noticeably out of shape, and now after undergoing a scope on his left knee last month, he may well miss the start of training camp. That will give Miller a head start on working on Lazor's offense in pads and will leave Moreno scrambling to get back into shape in order to try and prove the $5 million spent on him was worth it. Sure, Miller's speed advantage likely gives him a natural edge over Moreno in what we've seen of Lazor's offense so far, but Moreno proved last year in Denver's pass-heavy system that he can still contribute when called upon.
Miller is likely to open the year as the top guy, with Moreno getting 6-10 carries a game, but that could change if Miller struggles like he did last year, no matter if it's his fault or the offensive line's this time.
Nate Garner vs. Sam Brenner vs. Shelley Smith vs. Tyler Larsen
This position wasn't going to be any kind of a battle until Pro Bowl starter Mike Pouncey had hip surgery last month. Apparently his hip was feeling OK at his birthday party this past weekend, as Pouncey and his brother Maurkice are accused of partaking in some shenanigans at a night club. At least he won't face any kind of suspension from the bullying scandal and could only miss the first month of the season if he heals quickly.
To patch the hole at center that Pouncey's absence creates, the Dolphins have a few different choices. Garner started three games at center last season when Pouncey missed time with gall bladder issues and is likely the favorite to take the opening snaps once camp opens. Brenner, who started four games on the line in 2013, is a younger option than Garner.
An offseason addition, Smith can reportedly play both center and guard. He doesn't have much starting experience in his three-year NFL career, however, having only started eight games while in Houston and St. Louis. Larsen, a rookie free agent, is an intriguing proposition, as the Utah State product is the only healthy true center on the roster. If he impresses when the pads come on, watch out.
Jamar Taylor vs. Cortland Finnegan vs. Will Davis
Finnegan is a name, there's no doubt about that, but he's also 30, known for a moment of madness now and again, and is coming off the worst season of his career, one that was riddled with injuries. Management clearly doesn't want a guy with a contract like Finnegan's on the sideline much, so he'll likely be opposite Brent Grimes to open camp.
He better perform though, as Taylor impressed many in OTAs and mini camp, including Philbin, who went out of his way to praise the second-year corner in post-practice press conferences. His rookie season was marred by sports hernia and abductor injuries, but if Taylor stays healthy and continues to impress he could see more of the field this season than just on nickel packages. Davis, another sophomore, also has a chance to move up the depth chart after playing in just five 2013 contests.
