IT'S HISTORY / Tuck rule play changed the fortunes for many
2005-12-16 04:00:00 PDT Tampa, Fla. -- Jon Gruden never was one for looking back or, for that matter, looking too far ahead, either.
But that shouldn't stop the rest of us.
Gruden's team, the Buccaneers, plays Saturday at New England in a matchup of NFL division leaders, and it's hard not to think about how much has changed since the last time Gruden was in that stadium at Foxborough, Mass. -- or, for that matter, how different life is for so many because of one play on that last visit.
That occurred on the snowy night of Jan. 19, 2002 -- the night America learned of the tuck rule.
It was just one game, really one play, during a divisional playoff game. But the fortunes of at least nine NFL franchises may have been changed because of it.
A word here first: The Raiders, Gruden and many other apologists will not agree with this, but the fact is that the officials ultimately got the call right and that the rule was neither new nor unknown -- and, after the controversial play, the Raiders still had plenty of chances to stop the Patriots from tying and ultimately winning the game, and failed.
Yet, no matter which side of the officials-against-the-Raiders conspiracy on which you fall, there is no denying that the Patriots dynasty was launched on such a thin thread, and Gruden's departure from the Raiders -- and the team's ultimate fall back to laughingstock -- was set in motion.
"If we had won that game, I might have been selling pretzels in the Black Hole," Gruden said during an interview at the Bucs' headquarters this week. "You never know what would have happened."
No, we don't. But we do know what would not have happened. The Patriots would not have won the Super Bowl following the 2001 season. Perhaps Bill Belichick would not have become a genius, perhaps Tom Brady would not have become Joe Montana.
"I think it's kind of hard to put all those events on that one play," Belichick said on a conference call from Foxborough. "I think the play affected one game. I don't know what else it did. ... I don't think that play had that much of an impact on any other game. To me, plays affect the games that they're in. Each week is its own week."
But, just perhaps, suppose the Raiders won that game and then two more games after that, as the Patriots did, or even one, just to reach the Super Bowl, and Al Davis would have come to his senses and been forced to give Gruden control of the team to remain as the coach.
Gruden would not have come to Tampa Bay, and dominoes around the league would not have fallen as they did.
"Maybe we would have won the Super Bowl," Gruden said. "It's not like we were chopped liver going out there (to Foxborough)."
"That play goes (the Raiders') way and Oakland could end up being Super Bowl champion, they were that good that year," agreed Derrick Brooks, the great Tampa Bay linebacker. "Who knows? (Gruden) may not have come here. That play did affect a lot of people."
The Raiders and Patriots were the most obviously impacted by the tuck rule call, but they were not the only teams affected; at least seven other teams felt the fallout.
-- Tampa Bay: A couple of weeks later, the Bucs made the deal to bring Gruden from Oakland. The following season, the Bucs won the Super Bowl. Gruden was given wide powers in the organization, and the former top management was dispersed.
-- Atlanta: Rich McKay, the Bucs' former general manager, now is president of the Falcons. He co-existed with Gruden through Tampa Bay's 2002 Super Bowl season and left during the 2003 season. The Falcons reached the NFC Championship Game last year.
-- Seattle: Tim Ruskell, McKay's top aide, followed him to Atlanta and now is president of the Seahawks. Seattle has the best record in the NFC this year.
-- Pittsburgh: It's easy to overlook the Steelers in this discussion, but they were hosting the AFC Championship Game a week later. They lost to Brady and the Patriots. Suppose they had beaten the Raiders and gone on to win the Super Bowl? Maybe they would have launched the dynasty the Patriots launched. Maybe Bill Cowher would be Bill Belichick.
-- 49ers: Steve Mariucci, then the 49ers' coach, flirted with the Tampa Bay job. But the Bucs' ownership had Gruden in the back of their minds, and Mariucci wasn't hired. If Gruden had won with the Raiders, he might not have been available, the Bucs might have been more interested in Mariucci, and he would not have returned to the 49ers only to be fired a year later. Bill Walsh still had some influence at the time, so perhaps if the job opened a year before it did, the 49ers would not have made the Dennis Erickson mistake, which leads to ...
-- Detroit: If Mariucci went to Tampa Bay, Matt Millen couldn't have hired him in Detroit. Maybe Millen would have conducted a more exhaustive search, and hired someone competent like Marvin Lewis -- who, by the way, was the guy McKay originally wanted to hire for the Bucs.
-- Cincinnati: And if Lewis had gone to Detroit or Tampa Bay, he wouldn't have been available to salvage the wreck that used to be the Bengals, who are now headed for the playoffs for the first time in 15 years.
Dizzy yet?
"That's the nature of big plays in big games," McKay said by telephone from his office outside Atlanta. "These games are so close, they get decided by one play or one call, and the amazing thing is the lives that they do affect. In that instance, you can go back and do a lot of guesswork. Those types of big plays, they do have impacts. In this one, who knows what the impact would have been."
McKay, who is co-chairman of the NFL's competition committee, does want to make one point for sure. The tuck rule had been on the books for years, and those who said they were not aware of it hadn't done their homework -- particularly since there was a controversial tuck rule call only a couple of weeks before that game in Foxborough, in a Monday night game involving the Rams and Kurt Warner.
"That's the way the play was called," Belichick said. "It was called correctly. If it happened again today, it would be called the same way, and that's football. You live with the way the rules are written and the ways the plays unfold."
Many of those who were on the other side, however, never will be convinced that Walt Coleman, the referee, made the right call.
Some still point to a famous photo of the play that showed Brady with both hands appearing to touch the ball, as if it were the Zapruder film unraveling the Kennedy assassination.
"I've never seen anybody throw a pass with two hands on the ball," Jim Gruden, the coach's dad, said this week.
Jim Gruden, at the time a 49ers scout and now a Bucs consultant, watched that game from his Tampa home with his wife, Kathy.
"When I saw it, I was jumping up and down because I knew (the Raiders) were going to go to the AFC Championship Game," he said. "The game was over. Then I saw the flag out, and I knew they were going to (change) it, and I told my wife, 'We're going to get screwed on this one, I guarantee it.' "
In fact, of course, the coach's challenge flag was not a factor because the game was in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. The call for a replay review came from a league official, not Belichick.
The play, originally called a Brady fumble recovered by the Raiders, was ruled an incomplete pass.
"There's no way that was an incomplete pass," Jim Gruden said.
His opinion is a popular one, even among people with no ax to grind.
Seattle coach Mike Holmgren often has referred to his "50 guys at a bar" theory, as in, if 50 guys at the bar think it's a fumble, then it's a fumble. But the rule, while it has been looked at, remains unchanged, because the NFL rules tend to favor the offense, and the tuck rule gives a small benefit to the offense.
Brooks and Chris Hovan, a Bucs defensive lineman who was playing for Minnesota at the time of the controversy, had no stake in the outcome of that game. Both of them said this week, however, that they were watching the game and, in their minds, the Brady play was clearly a fumble.
"It's a fumble," Hovan said. "And they made up a new rule after that. I mean, come on ... a lot of money got changed in that game right there."
In preparing for this trip to Foxborough, where snow is expected, Jon Gruden showed some tapes from the tuck rule game to the Bucs' players this week to prepare them for the weather. He did not show the controversial play, however, saying repeatedly, "I don't want to relive it. I just don't want to relive it. I try to move on."
The 'Tuck Rule'
From the NFL rule book, Rule 3, Section 21, Article 2, Note 2:
"...any intentional forward movement of [the passer's] arm starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body."

The world that we live in has changed dramatically in term of environment since last few centuries. Because of the phenomenon of global warming and extreme weather changes, there have been some catastrophic natural disasters seen around the world. On top of these natural disasters the never ending wars on the planet earth have left many of us humans bewildered and without any sense of direction. Unfortunately most of the government have not addressed these pressing issues and instead are paying more attention towards economy and place in international arena as important in a bunch. I sometimes wonder when I read books that have we all read what history has told us and if we have really read those history books what have we gained from it. The importance of education has been repeated over and over again and yet we seem not to realize its real importance.
I have been associated with a charity organization which is working specifically on education system around the world. I am a volunteer there as a teacher and travel around the world to teach in some third world or disaster stricken countries. Our charity organization, thanks to some great school fundraising ideas for Australia of our team, has been able to generate continuous support from our donors to manage our campaigns. One of our specialty which makes us stand out is we have developed make shift schools for disaster stricken areas. We with lot of study and research have realized that children that of those disaster stricken area end up losing there year of studies in some cases because of their schools destroyed and teachers moving away to other cities. During these tough times we make sure that we are there to help them continue their studies so that they don't lose any time and lose a year.
Opening a make shift school internationally requires a bit of more work than normal. In some cases the procedure gets a bit lengthy because of requirement of special permission for the access to the disaster stricken area. These delays are usually because of security situation of the place as well. We try to focus and approach the problem in a way that we though we are making a makeshift school in the area, it is really supposed to be a permanent opening of our charity organization. We usually look for local partners and other charity organization to join hands with us in continuous operation of this make shift school. In the beginning all the staff necessary for teaching important subjects is flown in from abroad through our panel of volunteers to teach. These teachers are continuously rotated every 2 – 3 months ad of course they have their own commitments to keep as well. Once the disaster struck region is fully functional and the life gets back to normal, the international volunteers are gradually replaced by local volunteers. In some cases we also hire teachers which are funded by our organization.
The school premises with permission of the local authorities, is continuously expanded to give more and more facility to the people of all age of the area. Special courses for mature students are also conducted to get them going with running a small business of their own.

I wanted the flower cookies to be a little whimsical and not quite as perfect and symmetrical as flower cutters are made. Besides which, for some reason it seems whimsical flowers always have 5 petals and it is oddly difficult to find a good selection of 5 petal flowers. 6 petal flowers cutters are everywhere. 5 petal...not so much. As it happens though, you don't need flower cutters at all!
To cut whimsical flower cookies you'll need circle cutters or other roundish shapes and a holly cutter.
- Start by cutting the circle.
- Then cut little snips of dough away with the various points of the holly cutter
- Continue working your way around cutting petals of different sizes.
- If you don't have a holly cutter you could also use the point of a heart or a star cutter. The heart cutter will give you a little sharper edge on the petals but you can just smoosh them with your finger.
Once the cookies are baked and cooled flood them in white royal icing and let dry fully for 8-12 hours depending on the humidity in your area. Using a fan will help the icing dry and the base-coat will be shiner too.
The painting step is really easy and it goes pretty fast. Plus, you don't have to mix icing colors, Yay! I made these little paint daubers by twisting a small square of paper towel around a ball of plastic wrap. The texture of the paper towel makes a nice effect on the cookie and you can keep lots of clean ones on hand.
- Wet the dauber a little and pick up the first food color patting off some of the excess. Then dab the color on the cookie. You want to use a pat pat pat motion when applying the food color. If you drag or smear the color you'll lose the texture.
- Use a clean dauber for each different color dabbing a little color to start and working up to the coverage you want.
- If you add more color than you like you can use a dauber with clean water to dab the cookie. Then quickly pat off the excess with a dry paper towel. I think it's best not to do that too much though as you can overwork the surface of the cookie. There's no right or wrong look to these cookies so just let them be spontaneous!
You can also add some spatters to the cookie by flicking the food color with a brush. Let the food color dry on the cookie for a little bit and then pipe a swirl in royal icing.
That's all there is to it! I think it takes longer to describe the process than to actually paint them.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the sun if you have it!

The Institute of Urban Ecology will host the annual UNIBUG forum at the College's New Westminster campus to celebrate urban gardens and inform the public about sustainable gardening approaches.
"We hope that people will take away a sense of the beauty of urban gardens," Institute of Urban Ecology co-ordinator Veronica Wahl said. "This forum will provide both information about sustainable gardening and an opportunity to meet like-minded people with an interest in urban gardens."
The event kicks off at 10am and features an informative panel with local experts providing advice on beneficial insects, including pollinators - both native wild bees and honeybees – and pest-eating biological control insects. The panel will also provide tips on how to green your yard, garden in small spaces and get involved in community gardening.
"Urban gardens provide many benefits to both people and local wildlife," Wahl said. "Our participants know about some of these benefits, but most are keen to learn new things, ask questions, share stories and discuss strategies."
The forum will also feature hands-on activities – including the chance to make seed paper - and will finish with a closing reception at the Amelia Douglas Gallery at 11:30am showcasing the Green Links 2016 art exhibit.

Most of us learned our way around a mean early on in life. When we were kids, a decent chunk of our lives were governed by a mean. I'm referring, of course - to your averages at school.
average") on tests, quizzes, and homeworks, determined what you'd be doing with your summer, the timbre of your relationship with your parents, and how much time you'd be spending around your friends at school. Your world revolved around a mean!
Later on, maybe not even until college, you learned about another type of average: "the median." You memorized how to calculate it, maybe had to answer a question about it on a Stats 101 exam - and then promptly forgot all about it.
What you probably never got from your teacher was an analysis of what the two numbers signify. Why have multiple types of "averages" anyhow? When should I use the median, and when should I use the mean? And when I see means and medians in print, in the news - in "the wild" - how should I interpret them?
In short, you probably know how to find a mean and a median, but don't really know how to make use of them.
Aw, but don't worry, man. It's not your fault. Unfortunately, this is a common problem in our math curriculums - we teach kids calculation tricks, but rarely manage to teach the thinking behind them.
So here's my little crash course on the median and the mean. Read to this post's end, and you'll not only know the difference between the two, but you'll know enough to distinguish when and where to use 'em!
The lowest number in our example series could have been .0001, and 1000 the highest, and the median would still be 3.5.
Use the median if you just want to talk about where the anchor is. Use the mean if you want to talk about the entire range through which the numbers swing.
It all depends on the situation. There's not really a hard and fast answer to when and where using the median is "correct," and where the mean is the "correct" answer. It all depends on finding the right way to tell the story you want to tell.
My rule of thumb is:
One weirdly tall Kindergartener, one ridiculously expensive home on the block is all it takes to skew a mean. Sammy is hitting a growth spurt, which doesn't mean the rest of his class to physically shrinking!!
This is why economists pretty much always talk about incomes and house prices in terms of medians. If they used the mean instead, growth in inequality would look like growth for all, for example. One guy's extreme fortune would make it look like everyone is doing better.
Economists stick to medians to keep the typical, common income or home - the kind that most people actually have - at the center of the story.
Here's what I mean: Say you weren't making much. Your low income is already bringing the mean income of your peer group down.
Now you compare your income to that mean. Because your income is skewing the mean down, your income won't look as low as it actually is. Your income is pulling the mean down closer to itself, making the group "typical" salary look a lot more like your own.
Compare it to the median instead, and you'll be looking at where you actually fall in the income distribution. Like, if this were a competition, what place you'd be in. If we ranked everyone by income, the median would be the guy right in the middle. How many spaces do you have to move up to meet him?
Ultimately, my reasoning comes down to this: the mean is the story of the total value in the set. The median is the story of the ranking of those values. The mean is about the group, the median is about the individuals in it. So use them accordingly.
Either way, that's just my two cents. The big take-away here should be that though they are both "averages," the mean and the median are different. Be cognizant of that.
And when you see someone throwing these values around, just stop and think about how they were calculated. I promise, that is the easiest way to verify to yourself what the figures actually are telling you.
We simply do not digest huge quantities of numbers this way. We need summaries. We need the over-arching trends. We need "just the gist." We need to transform our data into simpler forms before we can swallow it.
We need statistics.

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia`s new King Salman appointed a grandson of the founding monarch into the line of succession for the first time on Friday, moving fast after the death of King Abdullah to quell fears of dynastic instability at a time of regional turmoil.
The appointment of Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef as Deputy Crown Prince was highly unusual for its speed, Saudis said, ahead of the burial of the monarch due on Friday afternoon following his death in the early hours. Such appointments normally take several days.
Mohammed bin Nayef becomes the first grandson of the kingdom`s founding monarch, King Abdulaziz, known as Ibn Saud, to take an established place in the line of succession.
All Saudi kings since his death in 1953 have been his sons and the move into the next generation had raised the prospect of a palace power struggle. King Salman also appointed his own son Mohammed bin Salman Defence Minister and head of the royal court.
Salman, thought to be 79, now takes over as the ultimate authority in a country that faces long-term domestic challenges compounded by the plunging price of oil and the rise of the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and Syria, which vows to toppled the Al Saud.
In his first speech as king, shown live on Saudi television on Friday, Salman pledged to maintain the same approach to ruling the world`s top oil exporter and birthplace of Islam as his predecessors and also called for unity among Arab states.
"We will remain, God willing, holding the straight course that this country has walked on since its establishment by the late King Abdulaziz," he said.
Salman must navigate a white-hot rivalry with Shi`ite Muslim power Iran playing out in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Bahrain, open conflict in two neighbouring states, a threat from Islamist militants and bumpy relations with the United States.
Reputedly pragmatic and adept at managing the delicate balance of clerical, tribal, royal and Western interests that factor into Saudi policy making, Salman appears unlikely to change the kingdom`s approach to foreign affairs or energy sales.
But oil prices jumped on Friday as news of Abdullah`s death added to uncertainty in energy markets already facing some of the biggest shifts in decades.
By immediately announcing the appointment of his youngest half-brother Muqrin bin Abdulaziz as Crown Prince, King Salman moved decisively to end speculation about the direction of the royal succession and splits in the ruling family.
However, Saudi analysts pointed out that despite this move to demonstrate a smooth succession and respect the wishes of Abdullah, who had decreed that Muqrin should follow Salman, it is not clear how much power he will have as crown prince.
"Muqrin is not as conservative as Salman, but we will see how much of a role he will play in the new reign. According to the Basic Law, the crown prince cannot do more than what he is assigned to by the king," said Khalid al-Dakheel, a political science professor in Riyadh.
Reform legacy
Many Saudis in a country with a young population will be unable to recall a time before King Abdullah`s rule, both as monarch from 2005 and as de facto regent for a decade before that.
His legacy was an effort to overhaul the kingdom`s economic and social systems to address a looming demographic crisis by creating private sector jobs and making young Saudis better prepared to take them.
"I think (Salman) will continue with Abdullah`s reforms. He realises the importance of this. He`s not conservative in person, but he values the opinion of the conservative constituency of the country," said Jamal Khashoggi, head of a news channel owned by a Saudi prince.
However, Abdullah`s reforms did not stretch to politics, and after the Arab spring his security forces clamped down on all forms of dissent, imprisoning outspoken critics of the ruling family alongside women drivers and Islamist militants.
As the Saudi population grows and with the sharp decline in oil prices globally, the Al Saud will increasingly struggle to maintain its generous spending on social benefits for ordinary people, potentially undermining its future legitimacy in a country where there are no elections, analysts say.
King Salman has previously spoken against the idea of introducing democracy in Saudi Arabia in comments to American diplomats recorded in embassy cables later released by WikiLeaks.
Unmarked grave
In keeping with Muslim traditions, Abdullah`s body, clothed in white and shrouded in a simple cloth, will be carried on an ambulance stretcher by relatives to rest in the mosque before being borne to the cemetery and buried in an unmarked grave.
Prayers in the mosque will be led by King Salman and attended by Muslim heads of state and other senior figures, including President Abdel Fatteh al-Sisi of Egypt, one of Abdullah`s closest allies after the Arab spring uprisings.
Non-Muslim dignitaries will visit to pay respects to the new monarch and crown prince, and other members of the Al Saud dynasty, in the coming days.
Later, following the evening prayer an hour after sunset, King Salman and Crown Prince Muqrin will receive pledges of allegiance from other ruling family members, Wahhabi clerics, tribal chiefs, leading businessmen and other Saudi subjects.
In the kingdom`s strict Wahhabi sect of Sunni Islam, ostentatious displays of grief are frowned upon: after previous deaths of Saudi monarchs and other top royals, there was no official period of mourning and flags hung at full mast.
Despite a surge of sorrowful messages from Saudis on social media, that religious constraint on public commemorations meant there were no signs in Riyadh`s streets early on Friday that the country`s long-time ruler had died.

BAE's Crosby Awarded Goldwater Scholarship
LSU biological engineering junior and Honor College student, Tyler Crosby of Bush, La., has been awarded a prestigious, nationally competitive Goldwater Scholarship by the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program. The Goldwater Scholarship can be used to cover the cost of tuition, fees, books and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500 per year.
"Tyler represents the 'LSU Engineer' very well in that he has outstanding academic credentials, combined with an appreciation for important discovery, as well as strong communication skills," explains Dr. W. Todd Monroe, professor in biological and agricultural engineering. "Tyler is an outstanding biological engineering student researcher. Since joining our laboratory group last year, I have been very impressed with his diligence, analytical abilities, and troubleshooting skills."
Crosby will graduate from LSU in May 2011, and after graduation, he hopes to pursue a combined MD/PhD and conduct clinical research into genetic therapies for diseases.
"As a recipient of the Goldwater Scholarship I am proud to represent my community, school, and department on a national stage, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunities afforded to me at LSU as an engineering undergraduate," says Crosby, "My research experience has been a cornerstone of my undergraduate career, and this recognition will undoubtedly help me continue contributing to a field of study that has proven so rewarding for me"
Crosby was selected on the basis of academic merit from a field of 1,111 mathematics, science and engineering students who were nominated by the faculties of colleges and universities nationwide. One hundred fifty-six of the Scholars are men, 122 are women and virtually all intend to obtain a Ph.D. as their degree objective. Seventeen scholars are mathematics majors, 199 are science and related majors, 53 are majoring in engineering, and nine are computer science majors. Many of the scholars have dual majors in a variety of mathematics, science, engineering and computer disciplines.
"I intend to use my experience as a Goldwater Scholar as a springboard into my professional
aspirations to earn an MD and PhD, enabling me to fulfill a goal of not only diagnosing
and treating patients, but also finding new ways to overcome prominent ailments by
researching new ideas in medicine and burgeoning fields in genetic research and therapies,"
Crosby explains.
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established by Congress in 1986 to honor Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, who served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years of service in the U.S. Senate. The purpose of the foundation is to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who intend to pursue careers in these fields. In its 24-year history, the foundation has awarded 6,079 scholarships worth approximately $58 million.
"As I start preparing for graduation, I realize I owe my accomplishments to the support of a community and an institution that has become dedicated to excellence," explains Crosby, "I hope our state will continue to support the exemplary efforts and achievements of the LSU faculty, administration, and student body."
Rob Egnatchik, a recent alumna who won another National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship is currently representing the foundation while pursuing his PhD at Vanderbilt University. "Rob is an outstanding student who is representing LSU well up in Nashville," claims Monroe.

A nonionic surfactant is an additive that aids the penetration of Sedgehammer into the plant tissue. Surfactants are not only used in horticulture but are commonly used in many cleaning products. Their properties enable products to "sheet" or spread across a surface. It is always recommended that a surfactant be used to help SedgeHammer penetrate the waxy layer of the nutsedge leaf. The surfactant also aids in dispersing the water droplets evenly across the leaf tissues and facilitates adsorption into the vascular system of the plant.
For best results, add a surfactant that is specifically made for horticultural purposes and labeled for use with an herbicide. If a nonionic surfactant is not available certain dishwashing detergents that contain high amounts of a nonionic surfactant may be helpful. Check the label of a dish soap to see if it contains a nonionic (not anionic) surfactant. The soap may contain both or just the anionic surfactant. If the label says it contains a nonionic surfactant, that is preferred. Dish soaps that are concentrated and are effective in grease dispersion often contain nonionic surfactants. Add the detergent last and mix by gently swirling together. See the"How to Use" page for more information.
Some commonly used nonionic surfactants are Hi-Yield® Spreader Sticker, No Foam A® , Latron B- 1956®, and X-77®.

It was a muggy mid-summer morning. I'd been in the office for about half-an-hour, late due to a meeting last night with Jim Beam. I sat at my desk reviewing accounts, my back to the window and the streaming sunshine. I had my fedora perched jauntily on my head. I loved that fedora. Never went anywhere without it. And never took it off save for when I ate or had a crap. Mom always said take your cap off when you eat. Oh that's what it was "cap". I stand corrected. I only took it off when I ate.
There was no knock, just the office door creaking slowly open. If I thought the sunshine was behind me I was sadly mistaken because there, standing in my office doorway was something way hotter than ol' sol.
"Mr. Dangerous?" chirped the sweetest voice this side of Portsmouth.
"That's my name and that's my business" I replied. Also that's what was stamped on my business cards. All 500 of them. I got a great deal from Vista the internet printer. They're kinda like my partner but, of course, I'm the one that takes all the risks.
"Veronica" she purred, extending her hand. "Veronica Voluptuous."
No truer words were ever spoken. She was drop dead gorgeous. I took her hand. I could have held it forever. I doffed my hat and returned it to my head.
"Please be seated" I said and guided her to a chair. She sat across the desk from me and crossed her legs. And those legs were something. Wow. I mean they ran all the way up to her...ah...hips. You know what I mean?
"What can I do for you Ms. Voluptuous?" I inquired.
Turned out Ms was a Mrs and she needed my help. She wanted me to track her philandering husband Phil. Philandering Phil. Ha. I couldn't begin to write this stuff.
She paid me the dough for the down payment and rose to leave. Those legs again. And all I could think of was that song by David Guetta:
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I wanna do it again
Come on baby
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I wanna do it again
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I wanna do it again
"I beg your pardon?" she said
"Damn, did I just say that out loud? That could be dangerous."
So dangerous, if you hadn't guessed was this week's theme of at Studio30+. Check out the other dangerous tales.

So this morning I had some plans. They were good plans. They involved looking for a grant for a position I'm trying to create for myself in the area of General Do-Gooderness (it's more detailed than that, but let's not digress) and moving forward on a huge writing project that I really need to move forward on (…) — and then I discovered, via the Twitters (thanks Shoq!!) that I could watch a livestream of Van Jones's speech at the Take Back The American Dream Conference.
I thought I'd listen, sort of keep it on in the background, as I worked.
Well! Apparently one doesn't just keep Van Jones on "in the background."
Aside from the fact that he is a hell of a speaker (which I already knew), his words were powerful, and very, very necessary. They kept hitting home — boom! boom! boom! Like powerful, necessary words will. So I started live-tweeting, a little late to the game — and even a little late to the game, there was enough there to light a fire in even the most weary belly. My excited tweeting is chirpstoried below*, but it boils down to this, progressives: We can be miserable, or we can do something. Let's do something.
(I didn't even capture what was probably the best line – Jones was talking about how people have been really beat down, and some are saying they just can't bear to get up anymore: "I won't be aspirational anymore!", he said, and crossed his arms much like my children used to and made a big ol' pouty face. And then cracked himself up. It was delightful, and honestly, how often have we progressives done "delightful" lately?)
*Oy mein Gott, I cannot get the chirpstory to embed here! You can see it by clicking here or by going to my crosspost at Angry Black Lady Chronicles (where it embedded just fine, thankyouverymuch) — as soon as I figure this out, I'll replace this annoyed parenthetical with the real thing…. Sigh. Fired up! Ready to go!

When Brooklyn-based Crystal González, a 23-year-old management consultant, and Ivette Alé, a 25-year-old Southern California native with a keen mind for fashion got together, it was only a matter of time before they launched Marimacho – a clothing line for trans men and masculine-identified women. "Marimacho" is derived from the Spanish derogatory term "marimacha" used to belittle those who are gender-nonconforming. The brand's concept emerged from the simple need to wear clothing that is both fitting and fashionable. Since then, the duo has embarked on designing seasonal threads for the queer fashionista. Swimwear from Marimacho's summer clothing line, for example, provides a style and comfort that is unique to the needs of the LGBTQ community.
How did Marimacho get started?
Crystal: It was an idea that I had when I was in college. Being a masculine-identified woman, it is very hard to find clothing. As I got more into thinking about the way I was dressing and presenting myself, I saw how difficult it was to find nice things to wear?[When] I met Ivette [I] talked to her more about what I wanted to do.
Ivette: When I met [Crystal] I had just started grad school. It was just an idea that she presented to me and asked me to help her with it. I ended up leaving grad school and moving to New York to be with Crystal without knowing what I was going to do.
Did you have any prior business experience?
Crystal: Ivette and I always joke about this because one day we are going to realize that all we did was read a book.
Ivette: To be fair we both studied economics, and I worked in the business side of fashion and Crystal works in management consulting, solving problems for very large businesses. It is a very different process being an entrepreneur as supposed to working for a business. Not only do you have to come up with a concept, [but] you have to do all the managing and artistic development around it.
Ivette, did growing up near LA have any influence in your work?
Ivette: L.A. culture is something that really inspired my aesthetic. I was part of the music subculture there and was into the rockabilly scene.
What is your inspiration for this project?
Ivette: The fact that there is a need for this inspires us. No one else out of the community will create these clothes the way that we are creating them. A lot of our inspiration comes from vintage fashion, which is part of my aesthetic, so mixing Victorian style with a little punk and a little edge. That is the inspiration for this specific collection.
Crystal: Inspiration for the business itself was driven out of necessity. I think if you talk to most of gender queer female body persons they will tell you they have trouble finding these kinds of things. That's what drives me. It's great when people see our samples and the photos with our models people and say, "Wow, that's awesome. I can't wait to buy your shit."
Are trying to keep it affordable?
Ivette: We will sell our clothes by season. This season we have a vest, a bomber, a button down shirt, and accessories. We kept it small this time around. We wanted to get a better sense of what people want.
Crystal: The idea it is to have it accessibly priced. We can't have it quite as low as H&M because we don't produce abroad or in large batches. With that being said we don't want to price it too high so that people can't afford it. There are things that are also important to us like producing locally and using high quality fabrics, real leather, and we don't outsource.
How have people been receiving your work?
Crystal: We have gotten emails from people all over the country and all over the world. To be honest, we have just gotten a lot of love.
Are there any other people dedicated to creating this type of clothes?
Crystal: There are other companies making T-shirts and some accessories. But we are more focused on fashion.
Ivette: There is a big distinction between creating clothes and creating fashion. We are doing it seasonally and tapping into the aesthetic of the queer community. There is a different creative process to it.
Crystal: There are a bunch of websites built around this idea of queer fashion, like DapperQ, that are adding momentum for this kind of celebration of gender queer fashion.
Has your Latin@ identity factored in your work?
Crystal: I think that from the very concept of the name, yes. It is something that I grew up hearing. The power behind that word really made an impact for me. It was used to demean a group of people, so we are reclaiming it, and that feeling is very empowering.
Where would you like to see Marimacho in the future?
Crystal: We want to open a retail location here on the East Coast and one on the West Coast, and eventually we want to create other items. Right now we have shirts and outwears but we want to make shoes, bags, and custom made suits.

Ryan Gosling recently dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about his new film, The Nice Guys.
Things got awkward pretty quickly though as Gosling began to notice how tight his suit pants looked on camera.
"I didn't try this suit on before I came out, and I realise it's so tight. It's wildly inappropriate," he said.
The cameraman compounded his claims by taking a close-up shot of Gosling in a suggestive crossed leg pose – to the cheer of rowdy fans. That wasn't all that happened in the quirky interview with Gosling also revealing what it was like to work with Australian actor, Russell Crowe.

He also revealed his complete lack of understanding of Rugby League before he joined Will Ferrell in a mock segment selling knives. You can see that little gem below.

Insurance coverage
Wellness insurance coverage is a sort of insurance coverage whereby the insurer pays the medical expenses of the insured if the insured becomes sick due to covered causes, or due to accidents. Prior to finishing, you need to verify that no one particular on your application is at present incarcerated (these jailed and detained can't get coverage in the Marketplace). The clients are necessary to acquire health insurance plan with the assist of typical periodic payments submitted to the insurance coverage organization. Government has created a overall health financing scheme namely the Jaminan Pemeliharaan Kesehatan (JPK). For more details about the Affordable Care Act and your options for coverage, verify out this guide provided by Wells Fargo Insurance Services. Although it is advisable that you research numerous companies just before creating a decision, Aetna appears to be a fantastic company to go forward with. In addition, some insurance organization schemes have annual or lifetime coverage maxima.
The government insurance plan is 1 of the most preferred family well being insurance programs, for the poor and needy folks. But Apollo Munich provides simple policy wordings to demystify the well being insurance coverage for people.
With regards to the expectations, you might have to consider about medical wellness care as the only issue that is offered in your health insurance policy. While there are a lot of other terms employed all through the medical insurance coverage field, these are some of the ones you can expect to find. There are hundreds of health insurance websites supplying person, family and small group wellness plans. Please click here to view the final 2017 EHB benchmark plans for the 50 states and D.C. Extra details concerning every strategy is offered by picking a particular state below. This is a basic type of well being insurance, and what insurance coverage firms facilitate every day (just on a a lot bigger scale).
HIPAA laws are fairly comprehensive, but this gives you a look at how your well being info is getting protected and utilized. Some internet sites will even set you up for an appointment with a client only for signing an insurance coverage plan. There is hearing aid insurance through ESCO some households use, and that may possibly be worth the cost in the future in case of loss. Nevertheless, the NHS achieves the very same aim as insurance in spreading financial danger arising from ill-overall health.
Meanwhile, the con artists have gotten all they have to submit a false claim: the information on your insurance or well being care card, and your signature. There are 3 distinct varieties of cover: Dutch public healthcare insurance coverage, an EU Health Insurance Card or a private insurance. Although several organizations hold back data in an try to get clients to choose them, Delta Dental freely offers the information in an try to honestly acquire consumers who trust them. I often advise men and women to begin with their life insurance coverage agent license because it tends to be the easiest to get, and you get to also sell some economic goods like annuities in addition to selling life insurance. The fastest way to get quotes from diverse overall health insurance coverage organizations is via the Net.
There are five primary kinds of health insurance plans, with indemnity plans at one particular end, and HMOs (wellness maintenance organization) at the other finish of the spectrum. The World wide web is regarded as 1 of the other selections, to appear up for the least expensive plans relating to overall health insurance coverage. So just before you get insurance coverage for your workers or safe your firm, the insurance business have to do is genuine. We have been fortunate to have help from our extended family members – our insurance company won't spend for his hearing aids, g-tube (since it is employed for venting and not feeding), or C-Pap machine. If you have any questions about overall health insurance or wellness insurance plans, most comparison web sites provide online chat solutions or reside assistance to answer your concerns.

CNA and CMA – What's the Difference?
Get Your Degree!
Find schools and get information on the program that's right for you.
Certified nursing assistants (CNA) and certified medical assistants (CMA) are both allied health care service providers or professionals who are involved in working with patients of all ages and physical conditions. Both the professionals are high in demand these days. Though some of the duties are same, both professions are not interchangeable. The goals, responsibilities, program requirements, certification and examination process are completely different. A certified nursing assistant is directly involved with the patient's day to day activities and provides hands-on care to them while the duties of a medical assistant are more focused on patients' assessment, evaluation and treatment and non-medical assignments. The detailed description and differences of both of the professions are described below:
1. Supervision
A CNA is supervised by a registered nurse, and only a limited tasks are delegated to them.
CMAs, on the other, hand work directly under doctors and perform the duties delegated by them. They also self-regulate their duties.
2. Responsibilities
One of the major responsibility of a CNA is to look after the patient's requirement for preparing beds, bathing them, maintaining hygiene and sanitation, noting down the vital signs such as temperature, blood pressure, etc. They also report abnormalities to the nurse, help the patient to move in their bed, basically everything that involves assisting the patient directly. They do not prescribe any medications and only limited autonomous tasks are performed by the CNAs, that too under supervision.
The CMA is less involved directly with the patient's care. The CMA's roles and responsibilities are classified into 4 different segments viz. Clinical, clerical, administrative, clerical and specialist. In the clinical segment, they prepare X-rays, ultrasonography, insert catheters into the veins of the patients, take blood samples to laboratory test, etc. Under clerical category, the CMA has to answer the calls of the patient, maintain the medical record of the patient and keep it up to date, sorting the e-mail of the patients and maintaining it. Under the administrative section, s/he has to fill the form related to insurance, preparing the discharge sheet of the patient, update the various charges like: room charge, pantry charge, operation charge, etc. Lastly, in the specialist part, they have to deal with the medications of the patients and should have the in-depth knowledge of the same.
3. Program Requirements
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
CNA program requirements vary by state, but it generally lasts for a 4-12 weeks to 6 months. The whole program session is divided into two parts – a theoretical session followed by a clinical session. The theoretical sessions educate students on how to perform direct patient care, patient safety, documentation, etc. During the clinical session, students learn about wound dressing, preparing patients for surgery, collecting urine samples, etc. These courses can be taken online or offline, as suitable to the candidate. After completing the course, every individual has to pass the test known as "certified nursing assistant certification test." The coursework of a CNA program includes human anatomy, CPR, communication skills, ergonomics, disease prevention, nutrition, medical procedures & first aid, etc.
Certified Medical Assistant (CMA)
The program for becoming a medical assistant is also available in both online and offline format, but it takes one to two years associate degree program in medical assessment to become a CMA. In order to get the certificate or to be eligible to sit for the exam for the same, one must complete the program from an accredited school or institute which has received its accreditation from Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). The coursework includes anatomy and physiology, medical law and ethics, business computer application, medical billing and coding, medical terminology, clinical laboratory procedure, etc.
4. Examination and Certification
CNA- Certification Exam
The written test is usually simple and is basically to test the knowledge that you have gained throughout the program schedule like the role of nursing assistant, nursing skills, physical care skills, etc. The test will have around 70-100 multiple choice questions (depending on the state) that a candidate has to solve within 2 hours. The clinical section is completely practical, and you will be given 5 tasks that you have to complete in the front of an invigilator, within a specific time frame (usually 25-30 minutes). The tasks may include recording and measuring the blood pressure, bathing the patient or feeding him/her.
Note: An aspirant must pass both the exams as failing any one or both will make them ineligible for the certificate, and they have to take the examination again.
After completing the program, the aspirants are required to take the American Association of Medical Assistants test to become certified. The exam consists of 200 multiple choice questions which are to be completed within four segments of 40 minutes each. The major portion of the test is composed of medical terminology, and the remaining portion will have questions from the course that is taught during the program period. The questions will be in a different format such as fill-in-the-blank, matching, and true or false.

5. Validity of the Certificate
The certificate of CNA is valid for 2 years, and you have to apply for the recertification again after the expiration of the above mentioned period. In some states, to maintain the certificate, you must have worked for a certain number of hours of continued education. If you do not fulfill the continued education requirements, you may need to pass the CNA certification exam again; failing which would require you to take another CNA program program. So, to avoid this, make sure to check the state's continued education requirements and make sure to complete the minimum hours required before renewing your license.
The certificate of CMA (AAMA) is valid for 60 months from the date of issue. There are two ways for recertification:
- By continuing credits:
Your current certification status is required to know the credential. You must obtain 60 recertification points, out of which 30 must be AAMA approved CEUs which may include 10 administrative, clinical and general points each with 30 points in a combination of any of the three categories.
- Examination:
You can also recertify by passing the CMA (AAMA) exam, but you have to pass it at least two months before the expiration date of your license.

Detox and Withdrawal from Hallucinogens
Currently, there is no known physical addictiveness with hallucinogens which makes finding help for you or a loved one difficult. However, Recovery Ways has multiple therapists and psychiatrists that can help the user identify why they were using the drug, use behavioral therapies to resist using the drugs again and administer any medications that could help with resulting anxiety or depression.
The psychological dependency on these drugs can be due to the sensations the drugs provide such as an increased feeling of perception or connectedness. Our medical and clinical teams can help the user learn different healthier ways to feel these and ways to prevent them from using the drugs again. Maintaining a healthy and sober life is possible with the use of our various treatment options and support.
Physical Symptoms
Hallucinogens affect the serotonin and glutamate production process in the brain that is essential for several major bodily processes. When an addict ceases use of the hallucinogen the chemical imbalances begin withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Tremors
- Increased heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing
- Muscle stiffening
- Body temperature fluctuations
- Seizures
Are you or your loved one ready for detox?
Recovery Ways has an excellent LSD and hallucinogen detox service that is medically supervised and patient minded. Our admissions coordinators will passionately review your case and find the best treatment options available.
Learn more about LSD and hallucinogen addiction treatment programs, as well as spotting withdrawal symptoms.
Psychological Symptoms
Since hallucinogens affect brain chemicals they also cause a difference in psychological and emotional states during and after use. Depending on which hallucinogen was used and how much affects the severity of the symptoms.
- Psychosis
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
- Rage
- Speech difficulties
- Low impulse control
Abuse/Addiction Potential
Compared to other drugs, hallucinogens are not as addictive but they do affect the brain's ability to maintain normal bodily functions with frequent, ongoing use. Users can become tolerant to the drugs and need more to feel the same effects. Hallucinogen addiction is a psychological dependency that develops over time by affecting the brain chemical functions.
Long-Term Hallucinogen Withdrawal Symptoms
Long-term use of hallucinogens can cause brain damage that can last for years even if the user is clean, according to the national Institute on Drug Abuse. In extreme cases, users develop hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD). HPPD is a flashback or hallucination that occurs long after the user has stopped the use of the drug. HPPD can cause:
- Paranoia
- Anxiety
- Delusions
- Random flashbacks/hallucinations
- Schizophrenic-type symptoms
These are the additional addiction treatment programs we offer alongside detox:
Managing Withdrawal at an LSD Detox Center
Recovery Ways can help hallucinogen users with the psychological dependency they have on the drugs. We can offer medications that will help with any anxiety or depression that may present itself during this time. We will also be able to make sure that the patient is healthy and look for any signs of co-occurring disorders or brain damage that may have resulted from the repeated use.
Detox LSD & Hallucinogens
If you or a loved one is in need of LSD & hallucinogen detox, we can help. Our admissions coordinators are here to take your call, review your insurance and find out if it will cover the costs associated with addiction detox.
If you're ready to start the admissions process please call 1-888-986-7848.

Mixing two structural systems {precast concrete grid + metal reticular truss}, the box resulting from urban plan parameters {maximum surface and height} is made more complicated in the entrance side by a tridimensional prismatic intrusion in the original volume, distinguished by using glass and other traslucent materials in comparison to other opaque fronts.
The result is a distorsion of perception near the main facade overlooking the public space, inside a more basic/stereometric frame. The other sides are charaterized by a precast custom-made concrete envelope, which module is denied by a continue abstract texture visually connecting each panel to the contiguous. Windows are obtaided by subtracting material inside the texture pattern.
