I recently attended a funeral at West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd and noticed an amazing tombstone, topped with statues of a dog and a cat. I was curious about the deceased and wondered how he managed to get his companion animals buried with him. I inquired about this and it turns out the owner of that gravesite isn't dead yet. He's planning ahead and I'm assuming the ashes of his beloved animals will be with him at the end. So cool to have built this monument.

People sometimes ask me if I could go back and change one thing about my life, what would it be? I tell them, I would learn to play hopscotch. I think they might be looking for something more significant or something seemingly more philosophical, but I also think that learning to play hopscotch is the only answer for me. It is the one thing I might change, if I could.
One time, while presenting on being transgender, an audience member asked me -- not in an inappropriate way, but out of curiosity as to how I would respond -- if the technology existed to diagnose transgender in the womb, would it be ethical to intervene?
The answer to that question is contained in the fact that the question itself is based in the idea that there is something wrong with gender non-conformity. So then, of course, the answer is no, why would you?
Pretty much the first half century of my life took place in an arena in which I believed there was something wrong with me. In the last several years, that delusion has been shattered and replaced with the knowledge that being transgender is actually kind of awesome to me. I wouldn't change a thing.
Philosophically speaking, whatever changes I might make -- given the opportunity to go back and make them -- would have likely changed the path of my life to a point where I would not be the same person as I am today. I don't think I want to do that.
So why hopscotch? It is something I would not have dared to do in my childhood, as it would have been seen as "girly." The kind of thing that would have further encouraged some of my co-children to do things like beat me up, trip me on the way down a flight of stairs or other such activities.
I needed to be seen as a girl, but didn't dare to be seen as a girl. I pretended to be a boy, and simultaneously tried to learn how to be a boy. Hopscotch was definitely off limits for me.
Perhaps it is about having the courage to be myself at the time, even if only a little. Maybe learning to play hopscotch would have created enough space for my girl to breathe. Like a well-kept secret where I would have known what she was doing, that she was there, but no one else would know.
It is a reflection on maybe having a little more courage, but not truly making any changes, because they would have surely altered my path, the path that has led to where I am today. Its meaning is far more figurative than literal.
Disguising my true nature was a survival mechanism for me. Real and imagined consequences contained in the pushing of envelopes. Yet, more than that. It was also about not tasting the honey (so to speak) because once tasted, it can never be untasted. The longing for authenticity teased by pseudo-authenticity of having touched the sky, but never to be satisfied until you have learned to fly.
Flying was not possible for the little girl pretending to be a boy in the 1960s. Stretching toward the sky would have had the inevitable result of seeing my wings clipped. Most definitely leading down a different path to a place where I would have surely died. In spirit if not also in body.
But I have learned to fly. I live in the sky. Surrounded by light and love. Why would I do anything to put that at risk? No, if I could go back and change one thing about my life, I would choose not to. Then again, maybe, I would learn to play hopscotch.

Root is no longer all powerful
7 May 2016
Basically, root is no longer all powerful – there are some things even root account cannot do! Official name is "System Integrity Protection" I'm writing all this down so next time I run into the problem and start googling, I'll find my own notes.
I was trying to rename / remove the previous version of php
sudo mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php55
This failed with the error "Operation not permitted"
When I try
ls -lO /usr/bin/php I get:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel restricted,compressed 10577504 3 Dec 06:35 /usr/bin/php
restricted is a new flag for El Capitan. Basically Apple has added a whole new layer of security in OS X. They have taken away some privileges from root. If a file has a restricted flag, only restricted processes which are signed by Apple will be able to modify them. However, you can disable this security system by booting in recovery mode and disabling it in a Terminal by running the command:
csrutil disable

In a recent interview with CryptoCoinsNews, Seedcoin CEO Eddy Travia gave us some useful previsions about the functionality and the roadmap of Jetcoin, the first coin sponsoring a football team that Seedcoin is incubating. Learn more about this promising and disruptive coin!
CCN: Hello Eddy, and thank you very much for accepting this interview with CryptoCoinsNews. Let's start with the question on everybody's lips: What is Jetcoin?
First, let me quote Jetcoin's introduction on our Facebook page:
« Jetcoin is a new digital token issued by the Jetcoin Institute. Jetcoin is a digital loyalty coin for sports fans, enabling them to get rewards from their passion and privileged access to their favorite athletes. Jetcoin Institute is working with partner teams, brands and service providers to offer exclusive deals to jetcoin holders. Jetcoin will sponsor Italian Serie A club A.C. ChievoVerona, making it the first pro football team to be sponsored by a cryptocurrency. »
As a loyalty coin, Jetcoin is more a digital asset based on an existing blockchain than a stand alone altcoin. We plan to distribute jetcoins to team's players, as well as fans and anyone who registers on https://get.jetcoin.io . We will establish new and dynamic channels of interaction between fans and athletes, with exclusive content (especially video content), which will be accessible to the jetcoins holders through a partnership with Samsung Sportsflow.
Jetcoin and its burgeoning ecosystem should benefit from the huge visibility offered by AC ChievoVerona players wearing Jetcoin-branded during their serie A matches.
Although Jetcoin plans to issue a loyalty coin at first, plan is to move into crypto 2.0 projects involving existing or in-development solutions notably in the smart contracts space. Jetcoin Institute is open to consider tech partners to jointly develop these solutions. Jetcoin hopes that the entire crypto-world will benefit from its exposure in popular sports like football and more to come.
In addition, several synergistic relationships with crypto startups will be possible, particularly with the Seedcoin startups : club shops offering team branded goods in jetcoins thanks to payment processor CryptoPay, and fans storing and managing their jetcoins on a Hive wallet.
CCN: What led Seedcoin to the field of sports sponsorship? Hasn't Seedcoin, for a long time, favored wallets and Bitcoin exchanges?
We were looking for a way to reach as many people as possible. Football is one of the few sports to permeate all social classes of the society and the European teams have fans all over the world. In my opinion, the next step in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mass adoption should be done via mass communication, football offers a great platform for bitcoin and other crypto-currencies.
CCN: Being a Hong Kongkenese incubator with a mainly Asian sphere of influence has not been a problem for you, considering the sponsorship is of a European football team?
The keys to widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies are Awareness, Usability and Education. Furthermore, sports sponsorship is a very efficient means of promotion for any business that seeks to achieve scale. Sports is approximately a $500Bn industry (2011 figure : $450Bn according to this study) and Football (soccer) is the king of the sports events market'.
CCN: What will be the next step for both Jetcoin and SeedCoin?
Jetcoin Institute has an ambitious agenda for the future of jetcoin. In early 2015, the plan is to move on to step two with the objective to place players' and artists' contracts on the blockchain : we are looking at different solutions such as Ethereum, the Bitcoin blockchain and other smart contract technologies. The end goal is to help young sports champions brand and develop themselves. It will truly be a transition to a more individualized and transparent sponsorship ecosystem.
At Seedcoin we continue helping the startups funded earlier this year to which we have added Anonymous Ads (a bitcoin-centric online advertising network), Ignite Financing (a bitcoin ATM leasing company). Until we raise new funds we focus on providing advisory services and mentoring to the startup teams. We are still on the look out for new opportunities, specially startups solving real problems thanks to cryptocurrencies or the blockchain technology.

So this is the most recent Curvy Liara I've built, to be used in later episodes of my Mass Effect series, Blue Star. The version used in Episode 1 is actually not this version, but an older build on a slightly different body. Without going into detail, that version had too many problems, and this one is much better.
As with Curvy Zelda, she is built on the DazV2 body, which basically just means better rigging all around and visual fidelity all around.
Additionally, all of my DazV2 Curvy girls are a part of CUPv2 (Curvy Unification Project v2), which means that all of the Curvy girls' outfits are interoperable with each other. Which is to say that you can put Zelda's outfit on Liara, and Liara's outfit on Zelda. As I continue to roll out the rest of my CUPv2 backlog, this interoperation is constant.
Onto the technical stuff!
Special thanks to CaptainAwesome for making the spectacular skin and normals for Liara's body!
Click here to download the separate lingerie with more skins.
Expect to see this Liara in action in Blue Star Episode 3!
And as always, I hope you all enjoy, and please report any problems you find!
LordAardvark I cant download it trow internet explorer ( cuz its complete shit and crashes all the time ) is there another way to download this awesome model . PLz help me ;( !
Get google chrome my dude.
To people having trouble with rigging. Just rename her to Liara or something else. Just make sure to have no more than 1 underscore.
this is fucked up https://sfmlab.com/media/cache/00/10/0010588f7f968fa0a616f076be338b64.png
Is there a Gmod version?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login as root
2. mkdir /tmp/testdir
3. adduser -k /tmp/testdir testuser
Actual results:
usage info, including the syntax which I used
Expected results:
that it would work
Additional info:
I tried about 8 combinations, using 'adduser', 'useradd', an = on the argument,
-k, --skel
Maybe I'm just the first person to have every tried to use this feature in a
long time.
Oh, and the URL in the specfile gives me a 403
man useradd
-m, --create-home
The -k option is only valid in conjunction with the -m option.
According to comment #1, this is my communication with upstream:
> Hi Tomasz,
> I just want to ask you, if shadow-utils upstream is still alive. I
> haven't seen much activity on mailing-list and URL's in README are not
> found anymore.
It's still alive but I have no time in next few days for completting move all
resources to new loacation. It will be probably avalaible on shadow.webd.pl in
next few days.
I'll admit I felt a bit stupid that I hadn't read that part of the manpage.
Though I'm reopening this bug because the manpage is wrong when it says
"... The
-k option is only valid in conjunction with the -m option. The
default is to not create the directory and to not copy any files."
On FC6, the default behaviour is to create the directory and copy the files from
/etc/skel, which is why I had no intuition that the -m option was needed for the
behavior I was aiming for.
Either the manpage or default behavior should be changed so the documentation is
Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're
sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted
on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to
make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks.
If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6,
please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly
encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to
refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs
for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them.
If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days
from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in
the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If
you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting
the change.
Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.
The process we are following is outlined here:
We will be following the process here:

doesn't happen again.
And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things
better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I suspect nothing has changed, though I'm employed now, and don't have time to
pursue this. At the very least, on F8 the manpage is a bit weird, in that the
-k option is only mentioned under the -m section, and there not in a completely
unambiguous way (i.e. nowhere is it explained how to specify SKEL_DIR).
Hi Jane,
could you try:
I have changed man page to:
-m, --create-home
The user´s home directory will be created if it does not exist. The
default is to create the directory and to copy files from /etc/skel into
it. This behavior is set by CREATE_HOME directive in /etc/login.defs by
Red Hat.
-k, --skel SKEL_DIR
The files contained in SKEL_DIR will be copied to the home directory
if the -k option is used, otherwise the files contained in /etc/skel
will be used instead. Any directories contained in SKEL_DIR or /etc/skel
will be created in the user´s home directory as well.
-k doesn't require -m anymore, if it's OK for you, I'll commit it.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '8'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Out-Law Legal Update
IR 35 did not apply to IT contractor as no mutuality of obligations
Out-Law News | 20 Apr 2017 | 3:31 pm | 2 min. read
The £943 million worth of corporation tax collected from large businesses via accelerated payment notices (APNs) over the year to 31 March 2016 is "a signal that HMRC is continuing to employ the tool widely", according to tax expert Heather Self of Pinsent Masons. The payments are likely to relate to the use by large businesses of a range of suspected avoidance schemes and arrangements to reduce their tax liability, including employee benefit trusts (EBTs), she said.
HMRC is currently reviewing a range of EBT arrangements, including those used by Rangers FC in a high-profile case which reached the Supreme Court last month. EBTs are trusts set up by companies in the UK or offshore to hold cash and other assets. HMRC has viewed their use in some cases as 'disguised remuneration', artificially reducing income tax and national insurance contributions as well as generating corporation tax deductions for payments into the trust.
"All large companies should be aware of the conditions under which APNs can be used, and prepare or seek professional advice accordingly," Self said. "The sums involved can be substantial, and without the right of appeal, the notices present the potential for significant disruption."
"It is also, of course, sensible to question the validity of any notice received. The use of APNs in a number of circumstances has now been subject to judicial review, with the Court of Appeal due to hear in July the Rowe case challenging the circumstances in which APNs were issued to film scheme users. Seeking professional advice at an early stage is essential," she said.
Introduced in July 2014, APNs can now be used against the users of over 1,000 different types of tax planning scheme as a means of requiring them to pay any disputed tax up front within 90 days of issue and with no right of appeal. These accelerated payments will be repaid with interest if the scheme is ultimately proven to work by a court or tribunal.
APNs can be issued against individuals and businesses using schemes which demonstrate certain avoidance 'hallmarks', such as being subject to disclosure requirements under the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) rules. They can also be issued in relation to schemes that were entered into before the powers came into force. Previously, HMRC had to win a tribunal case before it could demand disputed tax in these cases.
The new power has been subject to a number of legal challenges since its introduction, particularly since there is no right of appeal. Pinsent Masons is acting for over 80 investors in the Ingenious Media film partnership schemes in the Rowe case, which will be heard by the Court of Appeal shortly. HMRC has also been forced to withdraw a number of APNs issued in relation to schemes which did not meet the conditions for their issue.

You may remember at the start of the holidays we went away to Cornwall for a few days. If you've been following my blog for a while then you'll know that it's one of my most favourite places – I would move there in a heartbeat if it was ever possible. We spent three full days in Cornwall – two of those days we had an itinerary that we followed. I'm going to talk you through what we did as we had such a lovely time! If you want to check out where we stayed then have a look at this blog post on Trereife House. We stayed in Penzance – somewhere we have stayed before and will definitely be staying again. The first day we arrived we spent time just relaxing, sleeping and shopping. It took over 6 hours for us to actually get to Cornwall, so it's safe to say we were all a little exhausted.
The Cornish Barn
We had dinner one evening at The Cornish Barn which was delicious. This little restaurant is definitely a hidden gem with it's rustic and homely vibe. They use local suppliers so everything is bought locally from Cornwall and the food was just delicious! I usually go for things that I am comfortable with (ie. Burgers, pizza, fajitas) but I decided to be a bit more adventurous and try the Butternut Squash, Spinach, Pine Nut & Ricotta Gratin. It was amazing! Probably could have done with some meat if you are a meat eater like Andrew, but I enjoyed it exactly how it was.
"Tucked away in the old quarter of Penzance,The Cornish Barn is a rustic restaurant, bar and smokehouse in Penzance serving a wholesome menu with a focus on fresh Cornish produce – all helped along by craft beers and wines from local independent vineyards." Visit their website to see more about them and their menu here.
St Michael's Mount
We had heard all about St Michael's Mount, and after being to Cornwall several times, we figured it would be about time we visited. It was absolutely beautiful. We spent a couple of hours sitting by the sea, wandering over to the castle whilst the tide was out and fishing around in rock pools! We took lots of photos, ran about and got a little windswept. The weather was perfect and it was an evening I'll always remember. Definitely pop St Michael's Mount on your list of places to visit in Cornwall.
The Minack Theatre
When I think of heading to a theatre with a 4 year old, I can't help but get a little anxious. However, when I realised that The Minack Theatre in Cornwall is an open air theatre on the edge of a beautiful cliff in Porthcurno, I couldn't wait! What could be better? Whilst staying in Penzance we hopped in the car and drove the 15 minute journey to watch 'The Lonely Lighthouse Keeper', we had no idea what to expect but had heard great things. The Minack Theatre is one of the word's top 10 open air experiences according to The Lonely Planet and so we knew we'd be in for a treat. You can read my full post reviewing The Minack Theatre here.
The Old Success Inn
This was by far the best place we ate whilst in Penzance. Mostly due to the amazing customer service! A gorgeous little pub in Sennen Cove – right opposite the beach. I had one of the best burgers I've ever had – and I've had a lot of burgers! The staff were amazing with Daisy and the services was quick (always handy when you have little ones).
"We're based in a stunning part of Cornwall, with fantastic access to fresh local produce, so why not make the most of it? From pub food to fine dining, our chefs use only the best Cornish ingredients to ensure they hand craft delectable dishes, so when dining in Sennen Cove, you can enjoy quality home cooked cuisine, savouring Cornwall in every bite. "
Other things to do in Cornwall to really gain an insight into Cornish heritage
Geevor Tin Mine – The largest preserved mine site in the country, the key centre within the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. Visit Geevor Tin Mine and get interactive in their hard rock museum telling interesting stories of Cornish tin mining. You can explore the many buildings and see all the machinery used whilst also learning about how the rock was processed in the mill to produce the tin. Not to mention this is all set in an area of gorgeous scenery, natural beauty and a handful of wildlife. See more on their website.
Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens – "A beautiful sheltered valley in west Cornwall, surrounded by woods, streams and dramatic vista provides the perfect setting for this 22-acre exotic and sub-tropical garden. International renowned artists such as James Turrell and David Nash RA have interacted with the garden to create site-specific permanent works, all harmonising with their garden setting." See more on their website.
Find and Seek
Cornwall 365 have created a gorgeous little book titled Find And Seek – an illustrated atlas of Cornwall's culture and heritage. It is split into different parts of Cornwall and illustrated beautifully. It's a quickly little book and well worth purchasing if you're avid fans of Cornwall like we are. It's nice to flick through and discover what lays beneath the surface of Cornwall – the culture and the heritage – the things that make Cornwall what it is today. You can purchase this book for £10 here.

This page discusses resources for local mitigation planning. Local mitigation plans identify the natural hazards that may affect a single or multiple local jurisdictions, such as a town, city, or county. Plans assess risks and vulnerabilities, identify actions to reduce losses from those hazards identified, and establish a coordinated process to implement the plan using a wide range of public and private investments. This page provides resources for various departments within local governments, including emergency managers, mitigation planners, community and economic development planners, floodplain managers, and other stakeholders to assist in the update of local mitigation plans and support the ongoing local mitigation planning process and implementation.
Mitigation Planning Resources
The following resources can help local governments update their mitigation plans.
- The Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide (2011) FEMA's policy on and interpretation of the mitigation planning requirements for local mitigation planning. This guide is available in Spanish at Guía de Revisión del Plan Local de Mitigación.
- Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (Handbook) is a tool for local governments to use in developing or updating local hazard mitigation plans. The Handbook offers practical approaches, tools, and examples of how communities can engage in effective planning to reduce long-term risk from natural hazards and disasters. The Handbook complements and references the Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide , FEMA's official policy on and interpretation of the local hazard mitigation planning requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 201).
- The Local Mitigation Planning Fact Sheet (2012) provides an overview of hazard mitigation planning under FEMA's National Mitigation Planning Program for local governments.
- Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards provides a resource that local governments can use to identify and evaluate a range of potential mitigation actions for reducing risk to natural hazards and disasters.
- Mitigation Planning and the Community Rating System Key Topics Bulletin identifies ways to make the mitigation planning process and the CRS Program's Activity 510: Floodplain Management Planning work together for a single, coordinated plan.
For more information or to request training and technical assistance to build mitigation planning capabilities, local officials can contact their local officials can contact their respective State Hazard Mitigation Officer or respective Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Senior Mitigation Planner in the Mitigation Division, Risk Analysis Branch of the appropriate FEMA Regional Office.
Mitigation Planning Regulations and FEMA Assistance Programs
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended, provides the legal basis for local governments to undertake mitigation planning. The Stafford Act requires state, tribal, and local governments to develop and adopt FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance.
Local mitigation planning regulations are established in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §201.6 Local Mitigation Plans. Local governments must review and update their hazard mitigation plan as a condition for receiving the following mitigation project grants under FEMA mitigation grant programs:
- Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
- Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program
- Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program
- Restrictions on Grant Obligations to State, Tribal and Local Governments without a FEMA-Approved Mitigation Plan (2013) describes the implications to state, tribal, and local governments that do not have a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan relative to receiving assistance under certain FEMA assistance programs.
- Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams (HHPD) Grant Program
For more information, please visit the Hazard Mitigation Plan Requirement page.
Further information on FEMA's Mitigation grant programs is available from the Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) program.
The HMA Program also provides information on grant policy and resources that can assist with the development of planning and project grant applications. More information on the HMA grant programs (HMGP, PDM, and FMA) can be found in the Hazard Mitigation Assistance brochures. Additional resources include:
- Considerations for Local Mitigation Planning Grant Subapplicants guides local communities and tribal subapplicants as they pursue planning grant funding under the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program.
- Local Mitigation Plan Statement of Work provides a sample Scope of Work for localities as they enter into the planning process.
Local jurisdictions interested in receiving funding from FEMA's new Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams (HHPD) Grant Program must include all dam risk in FEMA-approved mitigation plans. HHPDs are defined as those that fail to meet minimum dam safety standards and pose an unacceptable risk to the public. Nonprofit organizations must be located in a jurisdiction with a FEMA-approved local mitigation plan that includes all dam risks in order to receive funds. Additional resources include:
- Identifying High Hazard Dam Risk in the United States
- Dam Considerations in Flood Mapping Studies
- Considering the Residual Risk from Dams in Flood Risk Products
- Risk Communication for Dams in Risk MAP
- Dam Safety Awareness
For more information or to request training and technical assistance to build mitigation planning capabilities, local officials can contact their respective State Hazard Mitigation Officer or FEMA Senior Mitigation Planner in the Mitigation Division of the appropriate FEMA Regional Office.
General Mitigation Resources
- Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards (2013) provides information that communities can use to identify and evaluate a range of potential mitigation actions for reducing risk from natural hazards and disasters.
- Integrating Hazard Mitigation Into Local Planning: Case Studies and Tools for Community Officials (2013) provides practical guidance on how to incorporate risk reduction strategies into existing local plans, policies, codes, and programs that guide community development or redevelopment patterns. The following five fact sheets accompany this document.
- Using the Hazard Mitigation Plan to Prepare Successful Mitigation Projects shows how a community can move from the hazard mitigation plan to developing mitigation projects that may be implemented fully using FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance, as appropriate.
- Integrating Historic Property and Cultural Resource Considerations into Hazard Mitigation Planning (2005) shows communities how to develop and implement a pre-disaster planning strategy for historic properties and cultural resources.
- Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment site provides information and resources for conducting a hazard identification and risk assessment.
- Hazard Mitigation Planning Training provides an outline of the training available for mitigation planning, including the 2-day G-318: Local Mitigation Planning Workshop. For local, in-person trainings host by FEMA, contact the appropriate FEMA Regional Office or State Hazard Mitigation Officer.

30 more laid off at Napster
SAN JOSE — Troubled music-swapping service Napster Inc. laid off 30 employees in the third round of job cuts since October, the company said Thursday.
In a statement, Napster chief executive Konrad Hilbers said the company remains committed to launching a revenue-generating, membership-based service but needs to further streamline its operations.
"We have full confidence that our remaining team can provide the strategic know-how and technical guidance to effectively prepare for the launch of the new service," he said.
No date has been set for the launch, which originally was scheduled for last summer. The company is battling copyright infringement lawsuits and trying to reach licensing agreements with major record labels.
It's not clear how many employees remain at the private company. Last month, 10 percent of the work force was cut. In October, 16 employees were let go.
Napster's free online trading service, which allowed users to trade digital music files, has been offline since July.

Guizhou: Miao and Dong culture in the mountains (5 days)
Hike between villages and enclaves in the mountains of Guizhou Province to get a up-close look at the well-preserved rituals, traditions, and architecture of the Miao and Dong (and more) ethnic groups.
Trip overview
Day One—Fly to Guiyang, drive to Danzhai. Tour of Danzhai. Overnight in Danzhai.
Day Two—Drive to Liujiang River, hike into Shui village, hike over to White Bird Miao village. Overnight in Rongjiang.
Day Three—Hiking through forest between villages in Dong area, overnight in Congjiang.
Day Four—Hike between Miao and Dong villages in Silver Lake area, overnight in Zhaoxing.
Day Five—Tour of Zhaoxing area, drive to Guiyang, fly back to Beijing.
Guizhou Province
Guizhou is a landlocked, mountainous province in central south China, sharing borders with the provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangxi.
The capital of Guizhou is Guiyang, a city of around 4 million located roughly in the middle of the province.
Guizhou's population is close to 35 million people, with nearly 40% of the inhabitants part of ethnic groups other than Han Chinese. With all the different ethnic groups, you'll hear a lot of different dialects while in Guizhou. Standard Chinese is the language most people have in common, but in the mountains the local dialects are used in daily life.
While rich in culture, Guizhou does not do so well economically. Of the 31 administrative divisions of China, Guizhou ranked last in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in a 2013 survey. Key industries of Guizhou are timber, forestry, and also tobacco, of which it is China's third-largest producer.
Guizhou was made a province of the Ming in 1413, but not willingly. Over the years there were several rebellions led by the Miao and Yao. After the Ming, the Qing took over in Guizhou, and at one point during the Qing Dynasty Guizhou was actually controlled by the Taiping Rebels. The Long March passed through Guizhou in the 1930's, and it was in Guizhou that Mao Zedong was made leader of the Communist Party. Quite a tumultuous history, and that's only going as far back as the Ming Dynasty!
Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture
We're flying into Guiyang for this trip, but will spend most of our time in the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture.
An autonomous area is a specific area associated with a particular ethnic group, or groups – either by more than 50% of the area's population being made up of ethnic groups other than Han Chinese, or by a historical connection. Some of the areas are province-sized, and others are only townships, and the head of administration of that area will be a member of the particular ethnic group associated with the area.
Autonomous areas have more control over local decision-making than areas controlled directly by the government, with more independence for decisions of finance, economic planning, and arts, science, language, and culture. The continuation of a tradition of hunting with rifles in Basha Village is an example of this.
The main two ethnic groups in this autonomous prefecture are the Miao and the Dong, together accounting for more than 70% of the total inhabitants. As with much of China, the urban areas are fairly modernised, but by heading out into the countryside we'll get a great look at the more traditional side of southern Chinese ethnic culture – very different to what we see in Beijing.
The Miao
The Miao are the sixth-largest of the 56 different ethnic groups in China, with a total population of around nine million people. Around 50% of that total live in Guizhou Province.
There are many sub-groups within the Miao, the most well-known being the Hmong. Some of these sub-groups are not closely linked, and some of the different dialects are not widely understood by those of a different sub-group.
In China, the sub-groups of the Miao are often referred to by the main colour of the women's clothing or some other key characteristic, resulting in names that are either very plain or very descriptive: Red Miao, Black Miao, White Miao; Big Flowery Miao, Small Flowery Miao.
A lot of the Chinese words to do with rice appear to have been borrowed from the Miao, who are perhaps the first rice farmers in China. It's not a coincidence that we'll be seeing a lot of rice paddies and terraces on this trip!
As well as special sorts of clothing, the Miao are also fond of festivals and performances, and we'll see several of those on this trip. Performances often depict rituals and traditions of the Miao, including animism (the worship of natural objects like trees and rocks), shamanism, and courtship and marriage rituals.
We'll get an up-close look at the unique customs of the Miao ethnic group at Basha Village, including the stilt-houses that are a signature style of their architecture.
The Dong
The Dong are the eleventh-largest of China's ethnic groups, with a total population of some three million people. As with the Miao, around 50% of that total live in Guizhou Province.
The Dong do not have as many sub-groups as the Miao. Their language has two main dialects: North, and South.
They are famous for a rich tradition of song, and their 'polyphonic choral singing' is listed by UNESCO as 'World-Class Intangible Cultural Heritage'. Common topics of the songs include love songs, drinking songs, bride's songs, and morning songs, and you'll definitely hear some of this special singing during the trip.
The Dong also hold to old traditions and superstitions, with elaborate rituals for courtship, weddings, and funerals. Some are animists and/or polytheists, and their folk religion includes divination from rice grains, bamboo shoots, and the entrails of chickens.
A typical Dong village has 200-300 homes, and in the village you'll usually find stilt-houses, covered "Wind and Rain" bridges, a communal fishing pond, grain stores, and shrines for Sa Shui, the female deity who is the most important of the Dong gods.
Another typical feature of a Dong village is a pagoda-like Drum Tower. If a Dong village has more than one drum tower it is because different clans in the village have built their own tower. The larger and fancier the tower, the more well-off that particular clan.
Hiking between villages
It's not a Beijing Hikers trip without at least a little bit of hiking. As with the hikes we do in Beijing, a long walk between villages in the countryside is an excellent way to get a close look at the real lifestyle of the people of China.
Weather warning!
Guizhou has more overcast days and rainfall than any other part of the country.
There's a relatively large temperature difference between day and night, caused by all the hills and mountains.
In April, the average temperature during the day is usually around 21°C, and around 13°C during the night.
The real rainy season here starts late April, but definitely bring your waterproofs in case the rain comes early!
We will be staying in 4-star and 3-star hotels for this trip, the best places we've been able to find.
You'll be sharing a room with another hiker. If you'd like a room to yourself, it can be arranged at an extra cost of 500 RMB for the whole four nights, if a room is available—usually not a problem!
Further details about room shares and single supplement can be found in the documents we send you as part of the registration.
Flights and transport
We fly to and from Guiyang for this trip. Transportation between the various scenic locations will be by private bus.
If you would like to organise your own flights, we can provide further details.
We will take most of our meals at restaurants in the areas we visit, and/or at the hotels or guesthouses. On one of the days we include a packed lunch for a hike. Bring some spending money for snacks during the trip. Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements or food allergies.
Rice is one of the main staples in this area, and some say that Guizhou is one of the places where rice was first farmed in China. We'll be eating a lot of rice on this trip!
Kid's prices
Ages 7–11: 7,730 RMB
Ages 12–17: 8,000 RMB
Things to bring
- Passport/ID card.
- Comfortable, sturdy shoes (hiking boots are strongly suggested), and a spare pair of shoes to change into at the end of the day. We have long and short hikes almost every day, and most of the trails we'll walk are dirt trails, and they can be muddy and slippery after rain.
- Bring a few changes of clothes, including something warm for night time.
- It's highly recommended you bring a waterproof outer layer and rain jacket.
- Bring a book or pack of cards in case you get bored during the driving between the villages. (We don't think you'll get bored!)
- Bring you camera and chargers for all your electronics.
- Bring a backpack to hold water and food for the hiking. Bring a duffle bag or suitcase for the rest of your things – we can leave that at the hotel or on the bus.
- Meals, water and snacks are provided; bring extra snacks if you like!
- Bring personal toiletries (shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste etc) and small towel.
- Bring any personal medicine you might need. Your guide will have a basic first aid kit.

This project will bring together the University of Cambridge Zoology Department, UNEP-WCMC and other CCI partners and associated agencies around the world to undertake three areas of exploratory work. The project will be conducted as follows: first, we will review the scientific literature and all technical products on the internet to assess the degree that different kinds of pressures as recognised in the IUCN threat mapping classification can be mapped; second, we will work together with CCI and non-CCI partners to compile available GIS data that maps different pressures; third, we will produce new GIS data on pressures that have not already been mapped, but where we are sure that they can; fourth, we will review the available scientific literature that outlines how the different pressures on biodiversity can be mitigated. We will develop systems where the findings of this exploratory work can be shared and we will outline a plan for further work on this important issue of broad relevance to many in conservation science.

Deploying Citrix Receiver for HTML5
To enable Citrix Receiver for HTML5 on StoreFront
You must enable Citrix Receiver for HTML5 on the Receiver for Web site for the StoreFront store that provides the desktops and applications you want to make available to Citrix Receiver for HTML5 users.
Important: In multiple-server StoreFront deployments, use only one server at a time to make changes to the configuration of the server group. Ensure that the Citrix StoreFront management console is not running on any of the other servers in the deployment. Once complete,propagate your configuration changes to the server group so that the other servers in the deployment are updated.
If you have not already done so, deploy StoreFront and create a store aggregating the desktops and applications you want to make available to Citrix Receiver for HTML5 users.
A Receiver for Web site is created automatically for new stores. For more information about creating StoreFront stores, see Create a store.
In the Citrix StoreFront management console, select the Receiver for Web node in the left pane. From the results pane, select the site providing resources for Receiver for HTML5 users and, in the Actions pane, click Deploy Citrix Receiver.
Enable Citrix Receiver for HTML5 by selecting one of the following options.
- If want users to access desktops and applications from the site using a locally installed version of Citrix Receiver, where available, select Use Receiver for HTML5 if local install fails. Users who already have Citrix Receiver installed cannot use Citrix Receiver for HTML5 to access resources from the site. Windows and Mac OS X users without Citrix Receiver are prompted to install it every time they log on to the site, but can use Citrix Receiver for HTML5 if they are unable to install Citrix Receiver.
- If you want all users to access desktops and applications from the site through Citrix Receiver for HTML5 regardless of whether they have a locally installed version of Citrix Receiver, select Always use Receiver for HTML5.
If you changed the port used when you allowed WebSocket connections on XenDesktop or XenApp, complete the following steps to change the WebSocket port for the Citrix Receiver for Web site.
Use a text editor to open the web.config file for the Citrix Receiver for Web site, which is typically located in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\storenameWeb directory, where storename is the name specified for the store when it was created.
Locate the following element in the file.
<html5 ... preferences="" ... />
Set the value of the preferences attribute to wsPort:portnumber;, where portnumber is the port that you configured in the policy.
To enable direct connections to XenApp and XenDesktop
Citrix Receiver for HTML5 uses the WebSocket protocol to access virtual desktops and hosted applications. By default, WebSocket connections are prohibited on XenDesktop and XenApp. If you plan to enable users to access desktops and applications from the local network without connecting through NetScaler Gateway, allow WebSocket connections on XenApp and XenDesktop.
WebSocket connections are also disabled by default on NetScaler Gateway. For remote users accessing their desktops and applications through NetScaler Gateway, you must create an HTTP profile with WebSocket connections enabled and either bind this to the NetScaler Gateway virtual server or apply the profile globally. For more information about creating HTTP profiles, see HTTP Configurations.
Editing the registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.
If you are using SecureICA to encrypt communications between users' devices and your XenDesktop or XenApp servers, Citrix Receiver for HTML5 supports Basic encryption only.
To enable connections to XenApp and XenDesktop using Provisioning Services
To deploy provisioned (non-persistent) machines using Provisioning Services, create the machine catalog and delivery group on which you want to enable Citrix Receiver for HTML5 connections. Ensure that the configured WebSocket policies apply to your machine catalog.
Restart the machine to apply the WebSocket policies. For Provisioning Services-based machines configured to use persistent write cache files and machines deployed using MCS (which have separate identity disks), the policies are persisted when the machines restart. However, for Provisioning Services-based machine catalogs configured to use temporary write cache files, these policies must be applied to the vDisk or they will not be implemented successfully on target devices.
Complete the following steps to ensure that the policies are correctly applied to the vDisk.
Using the Provisioning Services console, shut down a target device that is part of the machine catalog and delivery group. Change the access type of the target device from Production to Maintenance.
For details, see Target Devices. You must use a target device that is part of the machine catalog and delivery group or the policies will not be applied.
- Create a new version of your vDisk and set the Access to Maintenance. For details, see Manually updating a virtual disk image.
- Start the maintenance target device, selecting the maintenance vDisk version from the boot menu. Verify that the following keys are added to the registry.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\ICAPolicies\AcceptWebSocketsConnections
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\WebSocketsPort
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Citrix\WSTrustedOriginServerList
- Shut down the target device, change the target device access type back to Production, and promote the new vDisk version to production. Then, start the target device and restart any other target devices currently running from the existing vDisk.
If you do not use vDisk versioning, you can apply the policies to your base vDisk image by shutting down all the target devices that use the vDisk, placing the vDisk in Private Image mode, and then starting the target device to update the image.

Thailand is a very large beautiful country with vast jungles, cities, coastlines and everything in between. Luckily, when it comes to transportation between all the places you want to see, there is a variety of choices. There are many bus companies, tour guides, boat companies, and airlines that you can choose from in getting to where you need to go. When it came to us traveling Thailand, Lisa and I always went by train for the longer distance routes, the State Railway of Thailand.
When traveling the State Railway of Thailand, you will find different classes of travel, just like on an airplane. We have traveled 1st Class, 2nd Class with air conditioning, and 3rd Class without air conditioning while getting from city to city and by far, my favorite was 2nd Class with air conditioning. I will review everything we traveled though and you can decide the best class for you.
1st Class Air Conditioned Sleeper Berth
The first class air conditioned sleeper berth is a great way to travel long distances in Thailand if you want privacy and a completely lie flat bed. The room is basic, about 3 square meters, two windows with curtains (one looks into the corrider of the train car, the other directly outside), a sink, one electrical outlet, a mirror, a padded sitting bench that converts to a bunk bed, and a lockable door. If you are traveling by yourself, you will share the room with someone else that is the same sex as you. If you want the bottom bed when they convert the room for bed time, you will pay a a few hundred baht more when purchasing your ticket. You will not be able to change once you are onboard unless your roommate wants to as seats, and consequently beds, are assigned when buying tickets. If you are traveling in groups of 4, you can request conjoining rooms as there is a door between the two that can be unlocked and opened.
My only problem with this class was the area is very cramped when the bunk beds are put away. You are just sitting on the bench as there is no space to put your luggage or backpack anywhere except right at your feet making it difficult to move about. The generator was also right below our room and is consistently running, making it hard to talk to the person you are sharing a room with and too noisy to sleep at night. It might be quieter in another location in this train car but for us, it wasn't worth paying almost double the price as air conditioned second class. In my book, the only positive in first class that second class did not have was the privacy but the cons do not outweigh it. Usually we're more sociable anyway so first class was pointless for the most part.
As far as toilet facilities are concerned, the first class had one western toilet and one squatter at the end of the train car. Toilet paper was provided for both in addition to the bum gun. Soap was plentiful for washing hands and the water coming from the sink was safe to drink as well.
2nd Class Air Conditioned Sleeper Berth
Similar to first class, second class converts your sitting area into two bunk beds when you are ready to sleep at night. The most obvious difference between the two classes is a lack of privacy, you do not have your own room as before and share the train car with about 30 other people. However, being air conditioned and the ability to lay completely flat when you are ready for bed makes this class an excellent choice for long distance journeys at night and you will save on accommodation.
One thing I noticed was depending on the cities you are traveling between, you may either have a newer train car or an older one. In terms of quality of service, they are the same. The cars are quiet and you do not hear the generators as you do in first class. The newer train cars do have more width than the older ones giving you more sitting and sleeping room. We rode the newer cars between Bangkok and Chiang Mai and the older ones between Surat Thani and Bangkok. I do not know if the newer ones are always on the Bangkok to Chiang Mai route so it could be hit or miss but for the money you are paying, the older cars are still well worth it.
The toilet facilities were the same as first class but toilet paper was not provided, only the bum gun. Again, no issues with soap for washing hands or the safety of the water coming out of the sinks.
3rd Class Fan Only
By far, third class was the cheapest but also the worst class to travel by for a few reasons, the largest being the lack of air conditioning.
Without air conditioning in this train car, all the windows open instead and there are overhead oscillating fans every 8 seats to keep the air moving. Unfortunately, Thailand is a very hot and humid place so this setup still makes a 14 hour train ride unbearable. To make matters worse, mosquitos love this car and there isn't enough Off! in the world to keep the bastards away from you because the fans suck them off the ceiling of the train car, where they all congregate, then spit them directly at you. Yuck! As if that wasn't disgusting enough, their dead carcasses landing on you but sometimes, the fan just mutilates them and they still manage to suck blood out of you only dying after their last meal, while still on your skin.
That's definitely the worst part of third class without air conditioning but isn't the only shit thing wrong with it. In Thailand, Thai citizens can ride third class fan only for free which is fantastic for them but not you. Unlike you, they do not need a ticket and can simply hop on the train and off whenever they please and since they don't have a ticket, they don't have a reserved seat and if you disappear long enough, they will most definitely claim your seat for themselves! I saw this happen a few times on the train and luckily for those people, the Thais gladly moved but they don't have to so be aware of this! The most annoying thing about this however is Thais will get on the train to sell you food and drinks all the way to your next stop. It might seem great at first, having food and drinks available that are cheaper than the monopoly restaurant on board but they constantly are yelling and screaming throughout the third class cars to sell you something. Not ideal if you are trying to sleep.
Finally, the toilet is simple at it's best, a squatter with a bum gun. That's it. No toilet paper, no soap, and no sink. You are better off trying to sneak into the second class toilets than using these as they are primitive and should only be used if you're a guy taking a leak, even then, bring hand sanitizer.
Like I said, third class with fan should be avoided at all costs. We didn't travel third class with air conditioning but I saw it and it was better than the fan only version. People were still trying to sell you stuff but at least it was cool, dry, and most importantly, mosquito free.
Purchasing Tickets
You can purchase tickets at the train station either the day of or the day before you need to travel. You can also prepurchse tickets up to 60 days in advance. We usually bought our tickets the day of our journey a few hours before. We only got screwed over and had to take third class when going to the Full Moon Party. I do not know what the process is like buying tickets before your day of travel but it is probably just as straight forward as buying them a few hours before.
To purchase, just go up to a sales window displaying All Tickets in the screen, tell them what your destination and desired class is and pay. At the train station they accept Visa, MasterCard and Thai Baht. Most of the sales representatives speak and understand English well enough that there won't be any screw ups. Be patient with them and they will be patient with you. Don't lose your ticket as the conductor will punch it once you have boarded the train and it has departed the station!
Tickets are also available through travel agents but will cost slightly more as that is how the travel agent makes money off selling the train tickets. If you're a penny pincher, buy them for at cost at the train station. Tickets cannot be bought online through the State Railway of Thailand's website but this might change in the future. If you are outside Thailand and need a ticket you will have no choice but to purchase through a travel agent.
After Thoughts
Keep in mind trains are seldom to their final destination on time but somehow always manage to leave the first station on time if not 5 minutes early. Don't rely on your train being on time if you have a flight out of Bangkok, one of our trains arrived to our destination 5 hours late.
Food and drink is available for purchase on the train both from the dining car and train staff that can bring the food to you. The train staff might sometimes deny the existence of the dining car since they get commission so don't let that deter you from passing them up on bringing you food if you want to eat in the dining car. After 9pm the dining car turns into a disco eatery which is quite a sight to see! If you are on a budget, keep in mind train food will be the same price from the dining car or staff but will be 5 times what you would pay for on the street!
Also travel during Thai holidays and Full Moon Parties via train is extremely popular. Be sure to book ahead of time.
Hopefully this article gives you some insight into taking the train in Thailand which I would recommend everyone do at least do one since it's cheaper than it would be in your home country and is safer than the buses! As always, if you have questions just ask them in the comment section. When I'm reunited with my laptop, I will add more pictures and links to the official website so you can get schedule information!

The NFL season continues to tick along, and as we reach the first week of the season that has two numbers inside of one number in its name, we start to reach panic mode for some fantasy owners. You're sitting at 3-6 and you know another loss dooms you, and you can't risk putting someone in your lineup who will just help to enable that doom.
So, let's talk about some bad fantasy options. With bye weeks across the league and that playoff push become more necessary, what can you do to avoid making some tremendous mistakes this week?

Top 10 Busts - NFL Week 10
Matthew Stafford (QB, Detroit Lions)
Matthew Stafford isn't the same Matthew Stafford this year. After being in or near the top 10 fantasy quarterbacks in seemingly every season, Stafford has fallen off the fantasy map this year. Factor in a meeting with the Bears, who have allowed 20 or fewer points to the QB position five times this season, and the departure of Golden Tate (which can't necessary be blamed for last week's disastrous showing for the Lions, but...) and you have a recipe for a rough game for Stafford.
Sam Darnold (QB, New York Jets) The Jets play the Bills this week and while you should be starting the Jets defense if possible, you should also think about the Bills defense as well. Sam Darnold isn't going to be successful just because the other side of the field features Nathan Peterman; the Bills have held opposing quarterbacks to under 10 fantasy points in three of the past five weeks.
(Sam Darnold has been ruled out with a foot injury, so let's just apply everything above as a reason why you should not play Josh McCown this week, yeah?)
Kerryon Johnson (RB, Detroit Lions)
No team has been stingier to fantasy running backs than the Chicago Bears this season and while the Lions boast a strong rookie runner in Kerryon Johnson, this matchup spells potential fantasy doom for the former Auburn Tiger. The Bears have allowed three touchdowns to running backs, but all of those have come in the passing game (hi, possible sleeper candidate Theo Riddick!). No rushing touchdowns allowed in the first half of the year? Might be time to consider other options in your lineups.
Carlos Hyde (RB, Jacksonville Jaguars)
Pretty easy one here. Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is probably back. T.J. Yeldon is the passing back. Carlos Hyde is...well, remember when he started the year in Cleveland and Nick Chubb was in that third back role and saw a very limited number of touches? Yeah, that's Carlos Hyde now, but without some of Chubb's big-play upside.
Derrick Henry (RB, Tennessee Titans)
Touchdowns in consecutive games can help you forget that Derrick Henry's usage isn't looking great and he's run for more than 3.2 yards per carry in just two games this season. Henry is turning into a plodder with a ceiling on his touches, and as Dion Lewis grows strong, Henry fades. It's like American Horror Story: Coven rules here, except Derrick Henry was probably never actually a Supreme in the first place.
Dez Bryant (WR, New Orleans Saints)
The classic slow your roll pick. Yes, the Saints signed Dez Bryant, and yes, I saw a bunch of people in a bunch of leagues rush out to add him. But it's Week 10 and he hasn't been on an NFL field since the end of last season and the Saints are running a pretty complex system this year, so Bryant likely either doesn't play or he's in for the simple stuff. Either way, don't be one of those people who throws him into the lineup and tweets #DezCaughtIt when he hauls in a 14-yard reception in the second quarter, his only catch of the game.
Chris Godwin (WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
I wrote a piece yesterday about Adam Humphries, who has seen a bigger and bigger share of the targets and snaps for Tampa Bay lately and looks to continue that trend. Well, football is an unforgiving game, and if one player sees an increase in usage then another player has to see their playing time head in the opposite direction. That's where I am with Godwin. He's a promising young player, but he's losing time and touches to Humphries, whose high catch rate makes him a great safety valve for this team.
Kenny Golladay (WR, Detroit Lions)
Do I already regret trading for Kenny Golladay after the Golden Tate trade? Nah. But I'm not playing him this week. You've heard of stacking in fantasy football, right? When you play a QB and one of his WRs because of a good matchup? Let's anti-stack Stafford and Golladay this week against the Bears and hope for better days ahead for this passing attack.
Chris Herndon IV (TE, New York Jets)
Another anti-stack here. The Bills have allowed a decent amount of touchdowns to tight ends (four) but they've also held most of the tight ends they've faced in check from a yardage perspective. I mean, in back-to-back weeks they limited Tennessee and Houston to a combined one-catch, six-yard effort from the position. And while Herndon has had some good moments lately, he's not in the tier of tight end that feels at all safe to play in this situation.
Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee (TE, Los Angeles Rams)
Just, no. I know Everett is taunting you after a three-catch, 48-yard outing last week, but he was only on the field for 30 percent of the offensive snaps. And the tight end who did see the most playing time, Tyler Higbee, has only been targeted more than twice in two games this year. The Rams have such a fun passing attack, but the tight end isn't consistently involved in that attack. Even with bye week issues and a weak position...nah.

In February 2016 Mikhail had surgery to remove it, but when additional surgery was needed, the doctors were hesitant. Mikhail suffers from hemophilia, and surgery is much riskier for him due to blood clotting disorder. Mikhail had find more experienced specialists and to travel to Israel, where he underwent three surgeries in May 2016. He had to pay out of his own pocket for the medical care, and he still owes the hospitals in Israel. In addition, Mikhail needs to undergo therapy with a very expensive new medication, Keytruda. It is not registered in Russia, which means Mikhail has to pay full price for it and buy it abroad. He has to undergo treatment every three weeks to keep cancer in check. Mikhail's family will be very grateful for any support.

In exchange for as little as $1,395 and just over one second of time in getting up to 60 mph, Toyota will be happy to install a gas-electric hybrid powertrain in your new 2015 Avalon, one that will improve your average fuel economy by 16 mpg, according to the EPA. Granted, as gas prices fall that value equation erodes, but even at $2.50 per gallon you'll save $625 annually by driving the Avalon Hybrid XLE Premium, recouping your additional investment within 27 months*.
Intrigued? Toyota achieves this level of value by using the same hybrid powertrain in the Avalon Hybrid that it bolts into the smaller Camry and more upscale Lexus ES 300h. A 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is paired with an electric assist motor fed by a battery recharged through the car's regenerative braking system. Offering electric-only operation at low speeds, the Avalon Hybrid makes a combined 200 horsepower and is expected to return 40 mpg in combined driving while accelerating the sedan to 60 mph in a claimed eight seconds.
Buyers choose between XLE Premium, XLE Touring, and Limited trim levels, and aside from a slightly higher price and slightly slower acceleration, the only downside to selecting the Avalon Hybrid over the conventional model is that trunk space shrinks from 16 cu.-ft. to 14 cu.-ft. That, however, is a relatively small price to pay for a very safe full-size sedan that can get up to 40 mpg.
* It takes longer to achieve savings with the XLE Touring and Limited versions because Toyota charges a premium of $1,720 for these models.
Changes for 2015
- Upgraded infotainment systems arrive
- XLE Touring Hybrid models now come standard with blind spot monitoring
Alternatives to the Toyota Avalon Hybrid
Among full-size sedans, only the Buick LaCrosse offers a hybrid powertrain, one that lacks sophistication and gets only 29 mpg in combined driving. For mileage similar to what the Avalon Hybrid delivers, you'll need to downsize to a midsize sedan, such as one of these models:
