Your pain should lessen every week. There are many ways you can ease your pain:
You may have been started on anti-inflammatory medicines during your recovery in the hospital. Anti-inflammatory medicines help with healing by reducing swelling and pain.
If you will be continuing an anti-inflammatory medicine after leaving the hospital, be aware that these medicines may cause stomach upset for some people. Take the medicine as directed on your prescription. Taking this medicine with food or milk may be helpful to control stomach upset. Call your health care provider if you have any questions or concerns.
Managing your pain continues when you leave the hospital.

While the number of women hunting is growing quickly, the number of outfitters for women isn't keeping pace. We sometimes have to "make do" with what we're offered. Sitka makes it not only possible but comfortable. How do you as a huntress get comfortable in men's clothing? Time and patience.
Let's get personal here for a moment. Personal on my side. I'm middle aged (women will understand why I've added this detail.), 5' 4", and a size 8/10. While you don't need this information about me, you do need it for comparison sake. My favorite pants, jacket and shirt are modeled here by Kristin. She's 5' 7" and let's just leave it at that.
Finding gloves that are comfortable has always been a challenge. The fingers are usually too long and the hand too wide. Shooting with fabric folded over the tip of your finger isn't only inconvenient and uncomfortable, it's dangerous. The Sitka Elevated II Fanatic Gloves solved this problem. The fingertips are open. The annoying issue of uncomfortable fabric at the end of the finger has been solved. Four-way stretch polyester is soft and fits comfortably against your fingers. I chose a size medium and they fit well. The stretch fabric fits my hands without being too snug or baggy.
These gloves were great for bear and upland game bird hunting when I didn't need warmth. I've fired rifles, shotguns, and my compound bow with Sitka Elevated II Fanatic Gloves with confidence. The half-finger design allowed me to text my contact person when I was arriving at and leaving my ground blind or tree stand during bear season without taking the gloves off.
The Core Heavy Weight Zip-T in size medium fits me fairly well. Women have wider hips than men so a size medium was required to keep the bottom of the Zip-T from being too snug. The length was good in a medium, not too long. If you aren't "hippy" you can probably get away with a size smaller. Fit the Zip-T to your hips rather than waist. The shoulders fit well. There's plenty of room for a lightweight base layer if needed, but the soft fabric is so comfortable against my skin I was glad I didn't need a base. I'll be wearing the Zip-T during deer season knowing it will help me stay warm during a typical late November day in Maine.
The neck is tall for someone my height but the fabric is so soft it wasn't a problem. When the sun dropped below the tree line and the temperature started to fall I pulled the neck up to cover my chin and stayed a little warmer. If it's too tall for you simply unzip it a little. The zipper isn't abrasive. The size small in the Core Heavy Weight Zip-T fit my 30" waist but the bottom didn't fit my size 8/10 hips.
The arms of the Core Heavy Weight Zip-T are an inch and a half too long but because the fabric is soft it's not a problem. I pulled the fabric up toward my elbows and didn't give it another thought. The sleeves aren't so long that they're in the way when I walk through a field or along a backwoods road while bird hunting.
The Equinox Jacket is fantastic. A medium is a little long on my 5' 4" frame, but it fits so well in the hips that the length covered my lower back without bunching up. It's made of four-way stretch fabric that doesn't ride up when I sit down. The pocket on the right chest is well-placed for women. If I kept my somewhat heavy phone in the pocket it wasn't uncomfortable on my chest. The zippered pockets lay flat rather than bowing the fabric out, something that doesn't always happen when we're in men's clothing. The tailored fit is made for men but does come in enough at the waist to make it fit me well.
The harness opening on the Equinox Jacket has a well formed flap to cover the opening. It's smooth and was unnoticeable when I leaned back in the ground blind and the tree stand. The ranger finger pocket also lays flat against my chest. It was particularly important that it not gap because I spent a couple of days hunting in drizzle. Rain gear would have been too noisy and warm. The fabric kept me dry and stayed dry inside that un-zippered pocket.
I've looked at the Equinox Jacket hanging in my closet several times when I reach for a jacket and wish I could wear it more often. Of all of my Sitka clothes, this fits me the best. I do love this jacket.
The hardest part of outfitting myself with Sitka came with the pants. Wider hips, shorter legs and waist were the three major considerations. Like the Core Heavy Weight Zip-T, I had to fit the pants to my hips first, and that required a size medium again. Sizing is consistent. My Sitka Equinox Pants and jacket and the Zip-T are medium.
The medium size allowed enough room for the pockets to lay flat and fit my hips. The waist on the Equinox Pants is a bit tapered, not a straight waist and hip line which is great for women. A surprising aspect of these pants is the thighs. We tend to have a little wider thighs and these pants have plenty of room without being baggy. I never felt like I had to adjust them while spending hours sitting stone still in the stand. The distance between the gusseted crotch and waist band is comfortable if you're average length.
Fitting the Equinox Pants to my hips meant having pants that are a little long in the legs. This was easy to deal with because the pant legs are straight. They are close enough to fit smoothly inside my Muck Boots, but they're also wide enough to fit over my boots. They're close enough to stop at the top of my hiking boots without hanging down to the heel where they'd be stepped on. The legs stay in place and don't ride up over the ankles of my hikers, and wouldn't even if they weren't a little too long.
The cargo pockets on the thighs of the Equinox Pants are big. I didn't have to carry a hunting pack if I didn't want to thanks to the pockets. The cargo pockets are placed for someone with a little longer arms but only an inch or so low, definitely easy enough to reach. I put a 16 ounce water bottle in one pocket, my hunting license in a zippered pocket, knife and small flashlight in another, and a Beretta multi tool that's heavy for its size in the other zippered pocket. Even with the weight, the pants didn't sag. The give of the fabric kept the pants fitting well and didn't add length to the legs.
The pants have a feature I missed until I'd worn them a few times. The zipper works both ways. I noticed an odd feeling on my abdomen as I was getting ready one to leave one afternoon. I'd pulled both tabs on the zipper so while I'd pulled the zipper up, I'd also pulled the other tap and pulled the zipper up but open. I did it more than once. This isn't a feature we have on women's pants so it caught me off guard.
An important part of Sitka's clothing is durability. I've climbed some rough tree stand ladders, crawled on the ground to get under brush I was too short to climb over, and I wore them out in bad weather. During bear season, I checked baits that required me to walk through deep water and a lot of mud. Knowing that I had another pair of pants with me in case this didn't go well, I drove flew through mud and puddles on the gravel road to see how dirty I could get these Equinox Pants before I couldn't get them clean. Women are very busy with family, work, home, and volunteering. We often have to squeeze in time to hunt. There isn't any extra time to wash our gear every time it gets dirty. No problem! I wasn't able to stain these clothes. Dirt fell off as it dried. I checked game cameras on a wet morning by sitting on my knees. The duff on the forest floor didn't leave stains. After three weeks of bear hunting and several days of retrieving ruffed grouse, the clothes still look brand new.
Sitka has a very detailed and accurate sizing chart on their website. Because I live in a remote area and would have to drive two hours one way to try the clothes on, I trusted the sizing chart. I was a little unsure on the Zip-T so I bought a small and a medium with the idea that I'd return the one that didn't fit. I kept both and will give the smaller one as a Christmas gift. Trust the sizing chart with its seven separate measurements, and make comparisons between men's and youth sizes. You might need to mix and match between the two for your best fit.

Guidelines for What Constitutes a Connecting Activities Placement
Connecting Activities -- also called "School to Career Connecting Activities" -- is a state-funded program that supports staffing to connect schools and employers to provide work-based learning experiences for students. The state's connecting activities program pays for the staff work necessary to recruit employers and to prepare and place youth in employer-paid jobs and internships across the Commonwealth. Connecting Activities provides both summer and school year opportunities for all youth, with priority given to our most vulnerable youth who encounter multiple barriers for success. In that spirit:
Placements are considered "Connecting Activities" if they are brokered by Connecting Activities staff.
- Staff are considered to be Connecting Activities if they are directly funded through Connecting Activities (for some or all of their time) and/or are formally affiliated with CA through an established local School to Career Partnership or other recognized entity sponsoring CA work-based learning opportunities.
- Job/Internship Placements are considered "brokered by" Connecting Activities if the placements are direct placements made by Connecting Activities staff, i.e., CA staff recruited employers to arrange the placement, or if the placements are supported through the Work-Based Learning Plan facilitated by CA staff, or if the placements are supported by related workshops or classes facilitated by CA staff. Other roles are also possible, but there should be a direct involvement of CA staff in order to consider the placement a "Connecting Activities" placement.

It sure was a struggle to pick out my top 10 photos of 2013 (that's why I usually just stick to a year in review video), but when I saw photographer Jim Goldstein's 2013 project I decided to join in. It was a fantastic year of building, learning, and adventuring. I love going back through my photos and seeing my growth as a photographer. I feel like my favorite photos are the ones I've most recently taken, so it was a bit difficult to go back as far as a year. As a caveat, these are my personal favorites. This most likely means you've seen them before. They each say something for me. They each represent a stepping stone or an incredible moment or a story, and that is why these are my top 10. So, without further adieu, my top 10 photos of 2013 (in no particular order):
1. I spent a lot of time as documentarian and support crew for my best friend, Becky Richins, who kayaked the length and back of the Great Salt Lake. I am still working on the documentary and hoping to finish it by the end of April, 2014. This photo was taken at Spiral Jetty, day 3.
2. An early rise at Willow Lake rewarded me with a mother and child moose family. I only had my wide angle lens, so I set it to 40mm and got as close as possible.
3. A surefire storm over the Great Salt Lake had me running to the GSL Marina. The wind and rain were relentless, but I knew I'd be rewarded if I stuck it out. And I was.
4. This year's trip to Mount Timpanogos was full of frustration: My knee was in bad shape, I had missed sunset and I realized I had forgotten an extra battery when my camera died in the middle of the night while shooting the shot below. I'm not as frustrated about this trip anymore.
5. The clouds, the light, and the snow-dusted peaks were all working together on this night at Silver Lake Flat in American Fork Canyon. This is one of my all-time favorite personal images. I think it's the feeling I get as if the mountain is saying, "An adventure is waiting."
6. One of the coolest spots in the world. Nothing can take your breath away quite like Canyonlands National Park.
7. A layer of fog rolled through our camp leaving a frozen layer of ice on the tent and everything else in it's path. This was from that frigid morning.
8. The ocean will always captivate my soul. It will always have a piece of real estate in my heart.
9. I was pretty much done with photographing the Delicate Arch. Then I had the opportunity to photograph it in a snow storm. I like it much better in a snow storm.
10. There are some moments that stick with you, and this was one of those moments.

Patients Prefer Online Forums to TV Shows for Peer Stories about Cancer
A recent study found that the preferred way to hear cancer stories and connect with other patients is via online forums.
BY Allie Casey
PUBLISHED December 05, 2016
Patients with cancer often seek out information about their disease from many sources. Whether they be from real individuals or fictional characters, peer stories about cancer can be seen throughout mass media, online and on television. A recent study found, however, that patients with cancer preferred peer stories from the internet, specifically those from online forums – much
CURE's forum.
The study, done by Jan Van den Bulck, D.Sc., Ph.D., of the University of Michigan, and Sara Nelissen, M.A. and Kathleen Bellens, Ph.D., of the University of Leuven in Belgium, was published online in the
Journal of Cancer Education
. The researchers aimed to determine what medium most patients with cancer use to find peer stories, what the emotional response to those different media were, and whether there were any differences in behavior associated with the gender of the patients.
With data from the Leuven Cancer Information Survey, the researchers looked at 621 patients diagnosed with cancer in Flanders, Belgium. Most of the patients were female, and were aged 54 on average. Patients indicated information on their personal background and whether they used television or the internet to follow peer stories, and how they felt. The options presented for emotional responses were "feeling hopeful, feeling supported, feeling concerned and feeling fearful."
Researchers found that patients used both Internet and television as sources for peer stories. However, the stories from television evoked more feelings of fear and concern. Meanwhile, stories on online forums generated responses of feeling supported.
The authors speculated that these different emotional responses could be due to the nature of the content on each medium (fictional vs. non-fictional). In addition, there was a difference in the mindset of patients when engaging with each medium. Reading peer stories through online forums was something done "on a more conscious and active level," according to the study. Watching entertainment television programs that contain peer stories "is likely to be a more passive activity."
The researchers went on to state that the suspenseful nature of television shows, crafted to keep viewer's attention, can contribute to the fear and concern that patients with cancer feel. Van den Bulck, professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan, added that TV shows have dramatic and emotional visual images.
Meanwhile, forums provide more factual and less visual information, according to Van den Bulck. Patients "are comforted and feel supported by the stories and reactions from people who are going through the same ordeal." Nelissen, the study's lead author, suggested that another source of support was the interaction between patients posting stories and patients reading them.
The study also looked at differences between men and women diagnosed with cancer and found that women made more use of all sources for peer stories.
The authors suggest that healthcare providers encourage patients with cancer to follow peer stories, but to be mindful of the medium that they are engaging with.
The researchers also indicate that "guidelines for cancer information that is encountered on television" could be just as important as the guidelines intended to help patients evaluate health and cancer information online. They also recommend that more factual information could be used in entertainment television programs via the health promotion strategy entertainment education, "to simultaneously entertain and educate its viewers."
With regards to future research, the authors wrote about the investigation of "the role of mass media content and how different psychological coping styles and personality traits moderate these associations."

South Korean Financial Regulator Stands Firm on ICO Ban
February 2, 2019 by Akshay Makadiya 0 Comment 4000 Views
South Korean financial regulator, the Financial Services Commission (FSC), has maintained its stance prohibiting domestic crypto startups from raising money via Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). The FSC decided to uphold the ICO ban owing to questionable practices among local crypto startups. Could a reformist approach from the financial regulator be more appropriate?

Ineffective ICO Ban
According to a press release, the FSC has decided to continue the ICO ban based on a survey carried out by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), a government agency that regulates financial practices under the FSC.
The survey findings indicate that a number of crypto startups have engaged in fraudulent activities. For starters, some firms who claimed to launch their ICOs abroad have instead raised money from Korean investors, even with the ICO ban in effect since September 2017.
Bitsonline sought comment from Kang Kyung-won, the CEO of Presto–a South Korean blockchain startup fighting the ban–but at press time, Kang had yet to respond.
Other malpractices cited in the press release include the concealment of basic background information of companies to investors. The survey found that, in some cases, startups presented intentionally inaccurate information.
The three-month survey, initiated by the FSS in September last year, was sent to twenty-two of these enterprises that had launched ICOs. Only thirteen replied to the agency.
To circumvent the ICO ban, startups migrated to crypto friendly jurisdictions like Singapore and Switzerland to register their firms and formally launch the ICO. Although officially operating from abroad, these startups illegally raised the majority of the funds from Korean nationals.
The FSC claims that the combined capital raised from illicit fundraising campaigns tallied a whopping $509 million USD.
A Possible Reformative Approach
While there is a valid reason for concern, knowing that a significant number of ICOs are either fraudulent or have failed to realize their vision, a complete ICO ban does not make sense. Although the FSC is trying to better protect Korean nationals from scams, it is at the same time stifling innovation by pushing away genuine projects.
Instead, the FSC should have taken a progressive approach by formalizing the fundraising mechanism with the introduction of regulations. The government would then have had better control over the sector, as even with the ban in effect startups have managed to raise funds.
Following the ICO ban in 2017, considerable efforts have been made to revert the prohibition. Last year, a National Assembly officially proposed to lift the blanket ban on ICOs by preparing strict guidelines to protect investors.
The sovereign city-state of Singapore has set a great example by introducing formal guidelines for businesses that aim to raise funds via ICOs. The forward-thinking and liberal approach has made it one of the most favorable venues for launching ICOs in the world.
Will South Korea change its stance on ICOs any time soon? Share your views in the comments section below.

May 12, 2017 marks the release of Ruby Bones' self-titled debut album. The trio of vocalist/guitarist Chris Nova, bassist FC Spies, and drummer James Janocha is sure to be a must-see performance in the upcoming summer of 2017. Ruby Bones comes at you hard with energetic riffs that can't stop and won't stop throughout the entire album. Typically, you'd be told to buckle up for a ride like this, but there's no fun in that. Get on your feet and get ready to jam the fuck out!
After listening to Ruby Bones, Nova's guitar will be ringing in your ears for days. The jangling riffs have an almost light-heartedness to them until combined with the heavy bass and Janocha attacking the drum set with a ferocity typically reserved for a Facebook comments section. This album's a god damned rocker with rhythm that'll make even the stiffest of the crowd shake what they momma gave 'em. But while the album is so upbeat, there remain a lot of darker undertones. Some are more obvious than others, with track titles such as "Bad Bad Blood," "Heart of Darkness," and "Reaper," but where Ruby Bones truly excels is in their ability to create so much substance beyond fun, danceable tracks. These songs are surprisingly personal, thoughtful, and detailed with such universally true and relatable themes of love, loss, and learning to accept all the changes that come throughout life.
Still, listening to this album just has this effect on me that's hard to describe. I imagine going to see Ruby Bones play through this album in its entirety, probably at some trendy club in the city. Pretty good night by all accounts. It's fun, there's energy. I'm drinking, a lot; I'm buying shots for strangers; we toast to life and semi-hollow body guitars. I dance with a pretty girl during the set, but when it's over she leaves and I don't get her name. I leave the bar; I'm very drunk. I pick a fight with a homeless guy, "Bad Bad Blood" still ringing in my brain; we each land some good shots and then we realize we shouldn't be fighting. We find some 40's of OE; we find a park bench; we talk out our differences; his name's Boxcar Tim; we become good friends; we share some blow; the night's still young. I find a strip club, still hearing "You I Want." I leave Boxcar Tim behind; he'll be fine. I ask a dancer for a private dance, the expensive kind; I talk about my father; I'm not crying, you're crying! Cinnamon and I are falling in love, but I hear the lyrics of "Into the Night" and Chris Nova singing "I'll be alright/ No, it's not fine/ What the hell did I say?/ Into the light/ Drowning the night/ It doesn't mean anything." I know I have to leave. I go back to the trendy club, looking for answers, looking for Ruby Bones, but wait, could it be? I approach the girl with no name. Shocked, I say, "You're Still Here?" She begins to apologize but I stop her. "No, don't tell me you're sorry," I say, as if it came to me in a song, a song written by Ruby Bones. We agree to part and go our separate ways, knowing deep down in our hearts that we'll be reunited again someday, by Ruby Bones' second album, which I am already getting anxious thinking about.
But, in the meantime, enjoy the debut album from Ruby Bones. I hope it invigorates and excites you as much as it did me.

consultancy services
We help you win and develop international business. Our proposition is straightforward: Business English is the most effective method of cross border communication. It is the fundamental building block in winning clients across the globe. Without a high performance language strategy and skills organizations restrict growth opportunities. Expectations and benchmarks are accepted at local not worldwide levels. Clients lose patience and go elsewhere. Organizations do not get engagement from their employees who leave.
We prepare Iranian organizations to think, speak and act globally. Effective personal communication, corporate presentation and awareness of cultural norms are the start point for success. Basic English is insufficient. Key employees, current and high potential leaders at all levels must use effective Business English to promote their company, services and products. Executives at all levels must be engaging when representing the company's history, vision and competitive position. Competent and confident Business English combined with international awareness enables you to present yourself and your organization brand in a positive light. A competitive advantage, your people represent your organizational edge.
The credibility from knowing what you want to say, and presenting what you say professionally means you can ask the right questions, listen, test understanding and sell the benefits of doing business with your organization. Open two-way communication minimizes misunderstanding and helps you negotiate and develop robust commercial partnerships. You and your organization stand out internationally as customer friendly and easy to do business with. Future success in winning and growing sustainable business is the outcome.
The World Bank highlights that Iran's economy is characterized by the hydrocarbon sector, agriculture and services sectors, and a noticeable state presence in manufacturing and financial services. There is additionally a thriving SME and start up sector which provides a favorable opportunity for companies that are inclined to enter Iranian market.
Our role is to minimize the risks as we collaboratively help you capitalize on the massive opportunity. We help you or your organization navigate the 'surprises' and challenges and as some described it 'opaque' risks of doing business in Iran. We are a recognized and trusted center of expertise for enterprises, professional associations, chambers and trade offices seeking to enter, raise their profile or increase their sales within the Iranian market. Our professional experts in consultancy services help your organization improve collaboration with Iranian enterprises. For those who might want to test or enter the market through providing services or purchasing products such as food, minerals, petrochemicals, handicrafts, etc., we have the right connections to enable you to cultivate and deliver on opportunities. We help you operate effectively within the Iranian cultural context to negotiate and build strong commercial partnerships.
Our passion is to help you develop and deliver on possibilities by tapping on the existing opportunities. We accomplish this by acknowledging as our start point that business is personal. Business is only as good as the relationship, mutual understanding, trust that people working together have about what results they want to achieve. In this respect we set our standards high. We help international companies have a smooth touchdown in Iran.
We prepare Iranian organizations to not only think but act globally in promoting and developing their business outside Iran. Our start point is that effective personal communication, corporate presentation and awareness of international standards and cultural differences is central to success. Consultancy services can be a key element to success in surmounting cultural differences and rising international awareness in business for enterprises. English has emerged as the common language for business. It's critical today that certain employees and leaders can use English to promote their company and its products. This involves being able to engage others when describing the company's position in the market, its history and its competitive position. Effective English is needed to ask the right questions, listen and respond to questions about specific products and services, and negotiate.
There are often national and cultural differences that act as barriers to effective communication. Intercultural differences combined with limited understanding of the basics of Business English can have a major but often invisible impact on international business. How Business English is used and understood on a website, by email, face-to-face as well as group meetings.

New Era of Biometrics in Clinical Development
Hyderabad, India, also known as 'City of Pearls', hosted the fifth SDE of 2019 on 18th May. The event was attended by more than 230 participants representing different organisations, three academic institutions and doctors, with the theme 'New Era of Biometrics in Clinical Development'. A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS, Cognizant, Ephicacy, GCE Solutions, PAREXEL, PPD, Sumptuous IT Solutions and Syneos Health, for making this event a grand success. A BIG THANK YOU to Sarvesh Singh, PHUSE APAC Director, for setting the golden words for the day with an enthusiastic overview of PHUSE including upcoming 2019 conferences.
Mahesh Iyer from Sineflex Solutions was the first speaker of the day, speaking on Challenges in the New Era of Clinical Development. It helped the audience to understand fundamental terms such as personalised medicine, big data, AI/ML, and advanced analytics. Mahesh also explained about the meaning of big data analytics in DM, stats and programming. He gave the speakers and the audience around 20 questions to discuss. It was very interesting to hear an industry leader's insights into where the clinical industry is heading.
The morning session discussed in more detail the digital future of the clinical industry, AI/ML, analytics, different types of studies and what challenges we are encountering. In addition, we looked at how real-world studies are starting to enhance medicines getting to market quickly in order to help patients, and we explored the Internet of Things and how it is helping clinical trial patients.
The afternoon session started with Ravi Adla from Ephicacy on mHealth Technology in Clinical Trials, which provided insights into how mobiles can help patients to see their health records and their significance in our lives. It continued with Recent Innovative Approaches and Requirements for New Product Development, Biometrics Monitoring Devices and Increasing Use of Health Services in Remote Areas Using Mobile Technology-SMART Approach sessions.
It was fantastic to see the audience coming up with questions during the lunch and break sessions and to understand the speakers' views about the future of the clinical industry. The university students showed great enthusiasm for the topics discussed by these industry leaders with their decades of experience. They said it was an extraordinary opportunity to attend this kind of conference with industry leaders.
The panel discussion, headed by Sarvesh Singh from ICON, proved extremely interesting. Subjects ranged from where we are now, with industry updates on AI/ML, to how the industry is evolving with the new era of techniques in DM and statistical programming. Industry leaders expressed their thoughts on how to improve skills in the new era, as well as how and when to apply them. Attendees generated questions and actively engaged in topics surrounding the clinical development process.
The day concluded with what to learn and to apply from the 'New Era of Biometrics in Clinical Development'. The SDE was chaired by Sunitha Yarram from Sumptuous IT Solutions and Hanumantha Rao from Cognizant, who put together an exciting and varied agenda. Special thanks to Jayapandian Nagamalaiyan from Bayer and all the volunteers who were involved behind the scenes, managing the logistics of the event and ensuring the participants were well taken care of.

Starting early 2009: M359 "Relational databases: theory and practice" M363 "Software engineering with objects" M450 "The computing project"
13 December 2008
Open University - story so far

Now thats what I call an impressive list of Distinctions!ReplyDelete
Curious to know what your thought of M366. I'll guess that you quite enjoyed it, judging by your results, but what I'd like to know is what the course really covered. I've read the description on the OU pages, but that doesn't tell me enough.
Its one of those courses that sounds as though it should be really interesting, and I have it ear-marked for when I get back to studying.
Anyway, good luck with M359 (I did that course on its first presentation - say no more!). And good luck with your project.
Thanks. I'm pretty good at cramming for exams, though it nearly kills me each time.ReplyDelete
I quite liked M366. I did a post on it when the results came in. I was looking forward to the AI course before I even started the degree, it seemed the most geeky and old-style computer science course on offer. I say "quite", as there is also a lot of waffle. "Philosophy of AI", I labelled it as.
Most folk found it very very tough. I think they made changes after the first presentation though. I read around the subjects a lot, and I went the extra 200 miles for the TMAs that had any coding aspect.

Profile Information
using the MySQL repositories could be an option, but it adds a level of complexity to the deployment and management, especially if one uses a configuration management system based on ansible or saltstack. Adding official repository support to an existing infrastructure management system is a lot more involved than just using the integrated tools. Not rocket science, but still one level of complexity that I could do without. Furthermore it also adds complexity and uncertainty when one wants to upgrade the system. I know that debian's upgrade system is integrated, tested, mostly works well, and is documented, especially when problems arise. I know I can trust it to do the right thing. OTOH I have no idea how Oracle manages the official repo. Oracle's history track is far from perfect, I know I can't trust them, so I'll have to double check everything. Again, probably not rocket science, but still something I could do without. Last but not least: I don't know the details, but there is probably a strong reason why most linux distributions took the expensive decision to switch from mysql to mariadb. It cost them development time, support time, and probably many quirks everywhere since it is not a complete drop in replacement. I'll use mysql if I really have to (actually I'm using it since I installed a jessie vm just for era), but it would be much more comfortable and (and IMO) future proof to switch to mariadb. Oh, one last thing: I don't see the odbc connector in the apt repo, is it somewhere else ?

Rémi reacted to a post in a topic: Future changes to ESET Security Management Center / ESET Remote Administrator
@MichalJ This unfortunately makes the install a lot more convoluted on any recent linux server... For example it's only possible to install it on debian oldstable (jessie), not on current or future stable... And debian is definitely not a fast mover, so the situation is probably worse elsewhere. Thanks anyway for your answer.
Description: support of MariaDB Detail: MariaDB has replaced Mysql in all major linux distributions, and should be a drop-in replacement. Yet officially eset does not support it, is there a technical reason ?

The reason I chose to review this movie besides the fact that I had never seen it before, but because today is Memorial Day. Memorial today was created to honor the fallen soldiers of the Union and the Confederacy (http://www1.va.gov/opa/speceven/memday/history.asp)…Yes, the Confederacy, the group that was fighting to defend and uphold the immoral institution of slavery. I think this is one thing that people forget that should not be forgotten. War is complicated and sometime necessary, slavery is not. It is a clear moral wrong yet historically we still honor many of the people who perpetuated it (this doesn't apply to all members of the Confederacy but definitely many of them given what the Confederacy's goal was). How can I honor soldiers who believed and upheld wrongs or choose to commit wrongs today against their fellow man. It is for this reason I use today to honor the victims of war and the honorable soldiers who lived/live right action.
"Glory" is about the first all African American volunteer regiment and their leader Colonel Shaw who is dealing with the conflict within his own regiment and inside the Confederacy during the time of the Civil War. Here is my assessment:
The Pros: The Actors – Denzel Washington steals it, with Morgan Freeman taking a close second. His raw emotion and reality behind his eyes of the character (former slave) he is playing…there is a reason Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors. This movie was living proof of that. Charles Elwas of "Princess Bride" fame also does a great job contrasting the order of Matthew Broderick's Colonel Shaw.
The Message: The movie achieves a few things with it's themes and messages such as the reality of slavery and how immoral it is (largely through Trip's (Denzel Washington's character's) eyes, the horror of war (you see the blood and heads exploding), racism (both the Confederacy's overt racism through Slavery, and member's of the Union and how they saw African Americans as less than them and kept resources from them as well as paying them less). There is also a theme of solidarity too, for example when Colonel Show chooses for himself and the white soldiers to go without pay because of how little the black soldiers were getting paid. This movie also avoids turning Shaw into a White Savior which I appreciate e a lot. He isn't perfect and he grows and much of the movie is more focused on his men than him.
The song before battle:
The Battles: Are really well done. There are consequences to each one and it shows the consequences of weapons and what they do to bodies. It doesn't hold back, which is appreciated.
Okay: The Historicity – The movie is mixed in regards to how accurate it is in regards to history. The changing views of race by the Union soldiers is accurate but the fact that in the movie they were presented as former slaves isn't accurate – most were free men from Massachusetts. Here is a good summary of the issues of history in the film: http://cwmemory.com/2008/10/21/the-54th-massachusetts-regiment-in-myth-memory-and-history/
The music: Beyond the song for battle it was okay, just not super memorable, not a soundtrack I would seek out.
The Character Arcs: The character arcs could have been handled better. Trip's and Shaw's arc were great, but a lot of the characters either didn't have a character arc or existed as archetypes (The wise man, the rebel, the academic, the corrupt officer, the racist officer) to serve a role for Trip and Shaw. This is okay, but it doesn't make for great storytelling.
The movie was good, and Memorial Day can be a good thing…but we cannot allow ourselves to forget the wrongs done by our nation, ancestors and done during war. By ignoring or forgetting we do a dishonor to all the good men and women who do live or lived with virtue and the real struggle people faced, like those in this film.
The Ending: Without giving away spoilers it sticks to the message, but for a movie with so much hope in it at times I think any sweet at all would have made it better, showing that someone connected to these people knew them…and remembered.
I would recommend this film, it is a story that needed to be told and still does to this day.
I would give this movie 8 / 10.

Far up the mountain-side today
The slopes are baked and hot;
I find no shade upon my way,
And water-springs are not.
Here, where a little gully's wall
Takes shadow from the south,
I see a tiny rillet crawl
From out a stony mouth.
Now, where the stream begins to fail
Below a narrow brink,
I carve a basin in the shale
That small wild things may drink.
A poor and shallow cup, at best,
But good for beaks and lips.
Slowly from out the mountain's breast
The clearing water drips;
And well I know when sunset light
Makes sharp the canyon rims.
My pool will wait the things of night,
Where pure and cool it brims. . . .
Spirit of nature, you that first
Called rain-clouds from the sea,
When next my needy mouth shall thirst
Do you as much for me!

Account Lead
Company Overview
We love small companies and know they matter.
We exist to grow small companies in maturity & revenue.
We're most commonly bundled with "marketing agencies" but we're much more than that. We are focused on high-quality design & clear messaging married with expert technical development & marketing execution, all done in-house, and focused only on small companies (you won't see Coca-Cola on our client roster).
We've worked hard to establish a team that's battle-ready and will go to war for and with one another. That's what you'd be joining.
Before you go any further surf around our website and check out some of our blog posts.
Key Results Areas:
Our team's KRA's are driven by our four core values:
- Love – We put others before ourselves.
- Steward – We do more with less.
- Create – We find the unseen solution.
- Engage – We understand, deliver, and drive.
The KRA's specific to the Account Lead position are:
- Client retention & referrals (love- if you're loving your clients and your work, clients will stick around and tell others.)
- Team and client communication (engage- as the cornerstone of the relationship, you should be fully engaged in both internal and external communications.)
- Client utilization (steward- being the gatekeeper of client work, you're responsible for making sure our clients are being served appropriately across all our teams.)
- Be Proactive (create- be able to answer questions before they're asked and stay on-top of client expectations.)
Our ideal Candidate?
Here are the key qualities we're looking for in our newest Account Lead:
- Gets excited about the idea of growing small companies.
At the end of the day, this is what our clients work with us for and this role is central to that end.
- Thrives in a fast-paced environment
We take work-life balance seriously, but when you're here you're working and working hard.
- High capacity DOER
At the end of the day, you won't be successful in this position if you're not someone who gets excited about checking things off your to-do list.
- Clear communicator
Confusion is the nemesis of this position.
- Comfortable working directly with Founder/Owner/CEO/CMO of small companies
Most of the time our point of contact is part of the senior leadership team of a company. You have to be confident and comfortable presenting, answering questions, and leading this person.
- Can handle, address and resolve conflict with integrity and grace
Internally and externally, there are times when someone isn't happy. You have to be able to handle these times appropriately.
- Excels in thinking on feet
You're not always going to have all the answers. You must be the type of person who can move the ball forward and thrive in the challenges.
- Excels in delivering good and bad news appropriately and with the proper medium
It's not always good news- you have to have the capacity to know when and how to have the hard conversations or ask the tough questions.
- Understand foundational marketing and digital principles
You have to be able to interpret, analyze and communicate strategies and results to clients. We don't expect you to know it all (you're supported by a team of experts), but you have to be able to have knowledgeable conversations on our core competencies.
- Detail oriented to a fault.

Life Science: 6th Grade
Students will learn subject matter disciplines in the context of inquiry, technology, science in personal and social perspectives, and history and nature of science while integrating all aspects of biological concepts consistent with State Standards, National Science Education Standards and Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy. Rather than study a broad range of general biological topics, students will study a few fundamental scientific concepts that will best prepare them for success in AP Biology/Biological Sciences. Students will practice inquiry by using multiple processing skills – manipulation, cognitive, procedural, laboratory investigations, and by performing relevant short-term and extended activities that investigate and analyze science questions.
Earth Science: 7th Grade
Students will investigate Earth science concepts including the nature and practice of science, Earth in space, geology, meteorology, and human interactions with Earth systems. Students will demonstrate the application of critical thinking skills to science problems and develop an awareness of basic underlying concepts that relate to or explain the natural world (systems, cycles, order, change, energy and matter, cause and effect). The course includes in-class and group activities, online learning, labs and inquiry, research projects, and other assignments.
Physical Science: 8th Grade
Physical Science is foundational to high school chemistry and physics. This class presents a wide range of topics including scientific methods, measurements, matter, chemistry, motion and forces, simple machines, sound, light, and electricity. It is mathematically intense, and the students will develop a strong conceptual understanding of Physical Science by the end of the year. The first semester is an introduction to chemistry, and the second semester will concentrate on physics.
Biology: 9th Grade
Students enrolled in this course will learn about the living world at all levels of organization and the processes involved at those levels. To do this, students will work with concepts, theories, and principles of the living environment. Topics will include cells and cellular processes, genetics, evolution, diversity of life, body systems, and ecology. Laboratory activities and field investigations will be used to supplement student understanding of each of these topics. In addition to these topics, students will also learn about historical biology background, potential careers in the field of biology, and evaluate current biology-related issues.
General Chemistry: 10th Grade
Chemistry is a course in which the student will investigate chemical and physical behavior of matter using the scientific method. In laboratory the student will learn to make careful observations, seek out regularities, and attempt to provide explanations for observed behavior. The student is introduced to a fundamental understanding of chemical reactions and chemical bonding through a detailed analysis of the structure of the atom. Acid/Base Chemistry is the final unit where students will investigate both chemical and physical properties of the hydroxide and hydronium ion. These experiences are centered around laboratory activities with much emphasis being placed on process, observation, and evaluation of observation.
General Physics: 11th Grade
This course provides a conceptually-based exposure to the fundamental principles and processes of the physical world. Topics include basic concepts of mechanics, fluids, electricity and magnetism, sound, and light. Laboratory experiments and computer-based exercises enhance and consolidate the understanding of basic physical principles and applications. Prior to taking this class students should have 1 year of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
Enrichment & Elective Courses
Engineering Design: 8th Grade (semester course, offered S1 and S2)
Students will investigate engineering design concepts through project-based (STEM) activities. Past projects have explored the fields of industrial design, biomechanical engineering, forensics, aeronautics, civil and mechanical engineering, computer aided design (CAD), and 3D printing. Students will participate in guided investigations and open-ended problem solving activities, learn how to document their work, and communicate their solutions to others.
There will be a lab fee of $15 for this course.
Anatomy & Physiology: 10th-12th Grade
Prerequisites: Biology or AP Biology must be taken prior to enrolling in this course.
This course will focus on the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics will include each of the body systems and will focus on the relationship between the physiological and anatomical features of each. Activities that may be done in class include labs, identifying structures on models, and doing computer simulations.
A Taste of Science: High School (semester course)
Have you ever wondered what makes bread rise? Why is red velvet cake red? Now is your chance to find out! In this course, we will explore the science behind cooking and food ingredients. You will explore the budding field of "molecular gastronomy" and become familiar with some techniques used in this field. For example, we will bake red velvet cake and investigate the secret behind the red color. You will also turn yogurt into "ravioli", create rock candy, make ice cream and marshmallows from scratch while learning the science behind these food items.! Time permitting at the end of the semester, you will have the opportunity to delve into the science of climate change and become a detective in the world of forensic science with opportunities to investigate blood-spatter patterns and bullet trajectories!
There will be a lab fee of $20 for this course.
Introduction to Engineering (Engineering I): High School (semester 1)
This course will focus on basic principles of engineering including drafting, CAD, programming, and the engineering design process. The class will be project intensive as students work their way through the engineering process from beginning to end to find creative solutions to problems. Topics include: mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering with continual themes of environmental responsibility, engineering in the workplace, cost analysis, and testing of designed solutions.
Advanced Engineering (Engineering II): High School (semester 2)
This course will continue to focus on basic principles of engineering including CAD, programming, and the engineering design process. The class will be project intensive as students work their way through the engineering process from beginning to end to find creative solutions to problems. Topics include: topics covered in Engineering I, and more advanced topics in CAD, programming, electronics and 3D printing.
Bioengineering : High School (semester 2)
In Bio engineering students will explore how the environmental impact has become an increasingly important concern during the process of engineering any new technology. This course covers design, development and construction of working prototypes to address environmentally friendly alternatives to issues that are addressed in society. This class address how to solve sustainability challenges without causing harm to the environment or human health. Examples of project design challenges: sustainable household water and energy use, upcycled household waste, reductions in food waste, and greener alternative to food production and green transpiration.
Before developing these projects, students will conduct a cost benefit analysis to determine if it is truly feasible and beneficial in meeting the needs and demands of society.
There will be a lab fee of $25 for this course.
AP Biology: 9th-12th Grade (can be taken instead of Biology or as an elective)
Prerequisites: Current 8th going into 9th grade: An A- or higher in Physical Science; For students taking the course as an elective (10th-12th grade): B+ or higher in Biology.
This course can be taken in place of Biology for the graduation requirement or as an elective for students in 10th-12th grade. This course is meant to be the equivalent of a two-semester college introductory biology course that covers topics of the living world at all levels of organization. Students should expect a higher workload than most classes, with 1-2 hours a night being spent on the course. Best success is seen in self-driven students with strong application skills. Students will have the opportunity to take the AP Exam in May for potential college credit.
AP Chemistry: 10th-12th Grade (can be taken instead of Chemistry or as an elective) Prerequisites: 10th-12th Grade (can be taken instead of Chemistry or as an elective) Prerequisites: A- or better in AP Biology (9th grade) or B or better in General Chemistry. Summer homework also required.
This course can be taken in place of Chemistry for the graduation requirement or as an elective for students in 11th-12th grade. The AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year, and uses a college level text signed out to enrolled students at the end of the prior school year. This course will prepare students for success on the May AP Chemistry Test. In addition to content work, students will complete many labs recommended by the College Board and use a Lab Notebook to submit the lab write ups for grading. This course is similar to any rigorous college science class where for every one (1) hour spent in class, a student should expect to spend 2 additional hours for homework, listening to podcasts and taking notes, and preparing/writing up labs in lab notebook.
Students must complete a self-paced summer preparation program consisting of videos, graded online homework covering chapters 1–3 and most of chapter 4 in the chemistry book. No late summer work will be allowed as we begin the content on Chapter 4 in September. The online summer homework is due before the beginning of school and may be started mid-June. Students must also pass a test on the summer homework the first week or two of school to stay in the class.
(Note-It is highly recommended that students take Chemistry before this course as AP Chemistry is considered to be a two-year class with general chemistry taken as a prerequisite. Students will be more successful and this will help ease the learning curve for the summer homework and the coursework in general.)
AP Physics: 11th -12th Grade (can be taken instead of Physics or as an elective)
Prerequisites: B+ or higher in Algebra III and B+ or higher in AP Chemistry or Chemistry.
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Students cultivate their understanding of Physics through inquiry-based investigations as they explore topics such as Newtonian mechanics (including rotational motion); work, energy, and power; simple harmonic motion, mechanical waves and sound; and electrostatics and DC circuits. The course is based on six Big Ideas, which encompass core scientific principles, theories, and processes that cut across traditional boundaries and provide a broad way of thinking about the physical world.

Ok… I must admit. I love Michael Mosley and his presentation style.
So I could be a tad bias in saying this is one of the best diet based sustainability videos I have seen. Unlike my bias views toward this documentary, the doco itself approaches meat consumption in a totally unbiased manner. Which in this day and age of 'bandwagons' makes for a refreshing change in viewing. 'The Truth About Meat' tackles the suitability issues associated with the way we eat in a very methodical manner looking at it from a purely statistical standpoint, then it begins to layer on ethical, environmental and health factors allowing viewers to make their own decisions on how they will continue to consume.
This approach to a very touchy topic allows everyone from vegans to extreme carnivores to take something away from the viewing without feeling a serious case of the guilts or feeling a push in a specific direction.
Being a documentary about the meat industry it really isn't an easy watch. The facts, statistics, and one particular livestock experiment made this a much more difficult watch for me than the pivotal (but very emotive rather than factual) film Earthlings. There isn't the blood and gore you see in other films about meat but the facts you find out about meat consumption will shock and awe you just the same.
Whether you identify as a carnivore, omnivore or a herbivore I highly recommend watching this one to you all!
The Truth About Meat is currently available to watch at SBS on Demand.

BHC Large Conference Room
Health Policy Update: Prescription Drug Pricing
The pharmaceutical industry continues to make headlines for egregious pricing strategies, with sixty manufacturers celebrating the start of 2019 by raising list prices on nearly 300 drugs. This follows the 2,100 price inflations that occurred last year, with a median increase amount of 9%. In response, President Trump and Secretary Alex Azar of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a drug pricing blueprint (American Patients First) in May 2018, which includes provisions for an international reference pricing system, as well as the inclusion of pharmaceutical list prices in television advertising. But many questions still remain for payers: Is this all talk and no action? How could the Affordable Care Act, Food & Drug Administration, and patent litigation impact progress? And what changes should employers be prepared for moving forward?
For this BHC Pharmacy Meeting, we welcome Rachel Sachs, Associate Professor of Law with Washington University, to provide a health policy update on prescription drug pricing. Ms. Sachs' work, which has been featured in national media outlets and peer-reviewed journals, explores questions of innovation and access in the health care field and how the law can help or hinder future advancement.

Edward Smith Willard
A Famous Victorian Actor, a member of the Goodale family.
Born 9 Jan 1853 in Brighton, Sussex, England, the son of Smith Willard and Ann Goodale. He was the youngest of six siblings, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, Walter, Caroline, and Edward.
Willard, Edward Smith (1853-1915), English actor, who was particularly admired for his villains in contemporary melodrama. He made his first appearance on the stage in Weymouth in 1869 at the age of 16, and after some years in the provinces was in London, where he made a great success in Sims's The Lights o' London (1881) and in the title-role in Tom Pinch, a domestic comedy based on Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit. He enhanced his reputation with his Captain Skinner in H. A. Jones and Herman's The Silver King (1882), James Ralston in Charles Young's Jim the Penman (1886), and Jem Dalton in a revival of Tom Taylor's The Ticket-of-Leave Man in 1888. In 1889 he went into management at the Shaftesbury Theatre, where he played among other parts Cyrus Blenkarn in H. A. Jones's The Middleman, and then went to America, where he appeared with such success that he returned there annually for several years, touring the USA and Canada with a repertory of his most successful parts. Among his later roles were the title-roles in Barrie's The Professor's Love Story (1894), Louis N. Parker's The Cardinal (1903), and a dramatization of Thackeray's The Newcomes as Colonel Newcome (1906), in which he made his last appearance on the stage.
His nephew Edmund Willard (1884-1956) was also an actor, at his best in strong dramatic parts such as Macbeth, Othello, Jones in Galsworthy's The Silver Box, and Lopakhin in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. [1]

Beth McDonough
Aegopodium podagraria, a Praise Song.
Now, I'll choose to love
this bishop weed's
I shall admire
his knit-wire roots,
tenacious crazing
tangle- down
to anybody's
I will hymn
some centurion's aromatic
salad – grab
that verve and grist,
salute its Gallovidian indefatigability
Roman invincibility,
roaming in Scotland's slushing wet
or three-month frost.
I will now shout
exactly how to pound
tasty wild-form pesto, not accept
some basil-puny
imposter from
the Co.
I can sing at starry undie whites
of fecund umbel flowers,
encourage them to sprint
to seed – should their under-
soil capilliaries prove
inadequate. I'd hate
to be unable to worship
this mighty
bishop weed.
Beth McDonough's poetry appears in Gutter, Antiphon and elsewhere; she reviews in DURA. Her pamphlet Handfast with Ruth Aylett (2016, Mother's Milk Books, available on Amazon UK) explores family experiences – Aylett's of dementia and McDonough's of autism.

If you or a family member are a student and are the focus of a criminal investigation, it is important that you seek the assistance of an experienced attorney immediately. Many times, criminal investigations that are focused on students, whether they are in high school, college, university or trade school, may face other collateral consequences including suspension or expulsion or other disciplinary actions. These collateral consequences are time sensitive and require immediate attention.
Our attorneys have experience representing a broad range of students. Schools often have reporting requirements that must be strictly adhered to by the student. Failure to report the offense in a timely manner or respond to the school board's correspondence regarding the alleged incident may result in additional repercussions on the student. Please contact us prior to contacting your respective school board but do not wait until the reporting deadline has lapsed.

So you've just arrived home after eighteen or twenty-four months serving the Lord in what was undoubtedly the most incredible experience of your life. You probably don't really know what to do as you begin to transition back to "normal" life, but this list with tips from other returned missionaries should help!
1. Take some time to rest. The time you spent on your mission was spiritually rewarding and uplifting in many ways, but it was also an experience that took a lot of energy – physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You have been working non-stop in the Lord's service, and whether you think you need it or not, you should try to rest the first few days after you get home. As it says in Mosiah 4:27, "it is not requisite that a man [or woman] should run faster than he [or she] has strength."

Andrew Luck worth sacrificing season
Only 12 percent of teams that have started NFL seasons 0-2 have gone on to reach the playoffs. An 0-2 start is essentially the end of a team's season.
But this year there is a great reward for not winning. A team can get star Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Let's take a look at the 0-2 teams and determine whether they should continue to try to win or -- as it's become known on Twitter -- #SuckForLuck.
Seattle Seahawks
After going 7-9 a year ago, they went out and downgraded at quarterback. Seattle was purposely trying to #SuckForLuck long before it became fashionable. Pete Carroll: true football visionary. He lives by the "Win Forever" code, but he probably believes it's OK to lose constantly for a year on purpose if it results in future winning forever. The guy didn't briefly win a BCS title by being stupid.
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings are in a bind. They believed bringing in Donovan McNabb would make them a playoff contender while Christian Ponder was being groomed for the job. Unfortunately, the Vikings are bad, and the majority of Minnesota fans didn't want McNabb and hated the Ponder pick. Management could really excite the fan base by promising to lose every game this season. Verdict? #SuckForLuck
Carolina Panthers
They have Cam Newton. He's the real deal, so they obviously don't want to #SuckForLuck. They should still consider going 0-16 for the first pick, though. They could get a huge haul in a trade for the top pick. Or, who knows, maybe they can keep the pick and draft defense. Surely there is a good college defensive player whose name rhymes with #Suck or #Lose.
Kansas City Chiefs
"The season will not be canceled as far as I know," Chiefs coach Todd Haley said after Sunday's loss to the Lions. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, he's right. The 2012 season won't be canceled either. That's where Kansas City must turn it hopes and dreams. #SuckForLuck
Indianapolis Colts
Similar to the Vikings, the Colts have a tough call. If they believe Peyton Manning can be back to 100 percent next year, there's no reason to go after Luck. Manning won't retire any time soon; he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who has many interests outside of football. But they do have a chance to improve their defense, never an Indianapolis strong point. How to improve that defense? Draft Luck and let him rot on their bench. He can't shred their defense if he's on their team. #SuckForLuck
Miami Dolphins
This is an easy call. The Dolphins don't have much going for them. It's a #SuckForLuck team if there ever were one. Luck is the kind of quarterback who can be the next Dan Marino, but it will be a long and ugly season to make it happen. Tony Sparano might want to ditch the sunglasses and just close his eyes. #SuckForLuck
Quote of the week
"I'm a well-conditioned athlete. I don't need oxygen."
-- Vince Wilfork, the New England nose tackle generously listed at 325 pounds, on his 28-yard interception return against the Chargers.
He's right. Wilfork doesn't inhale oxygen. The only thing he inhales is food. If some oxygen happens to get in there while swallowing, well, that's what burping is for. Gas takes up useful space where solids could be. Solids like ham.
Stat of the week
854 -- Cam Newton has 854 passing yards through his first two NFL games. You've heard all about the records he's set already -- most yards in an NFL debut, most yards through two games of a career, first player in NFL history to open a season with consecutive 400-yard games -- but to really put that number in perspective, consider that 854 is approximately one-fifth of 4,083. So through two NFL games, Newton already has one-fifth of the career passing yards that JaMarcus Russell achieved in 31 games over three seasons.
Let me be the first to go on record, assuming someone else hasn't done so already: When it comes to recent No. 1 overall quarterback selections, Cam Newton > JaMarcus Russell.
Strong opinion, I know. Controversial even. But I know you expect nothing less from this column.
This Week's Horrible Fantasy Team That Crushed Your Team
Jason Campbell, QB, Raiders -- 23 for 33, 323 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 1 rushing TD
Jahvid Best, RB, Lions -- 123 total yards, 2 TDs
Willis McGahee, RB, Broncos -- 28 carries, 101 yards, TD
Denarius Moore, WR, Raiders -- 5 catches, 146 yards, TD
Eric Decker, WR, Broncos -- 5 catches, 113 yards, 2 TDs
Fred Davis, TE, Redskins -- 6 catches, 86 yards, TD
Pictures of the Week
"Yeah, I'm sure you guys would be very competitive in the Pac-12, but I think that's a discussion for another time."
"Tough loss. One of us had to lose. Heck, I'm surprised we both didn't lose."
Want more photo captions? No, you NEED more photo captions. You're welcome!
DJ Gallo's NFL Hangover photo gallery
"Later I'm using this sign to say 'Hi' to my mom."
"Yeah, Mike, but did you see our game last week? It was totally awesome."
"I wonder if I should say or do something."
"My grandpa says he used to love watching you play in college."
"Come on, man. Get up before you get killed on Twitter."
"Yes! One week off from getting destroyed by the media. And all I had to do was break a rib."
"Perfect. I can't see Tim's angelic glow with these on."
Five things I think I thought to think
1. I know what you're doing, and you should stop. It's lazy and dumb. You take my "Horrible Fantasy Team" from each week and use it as tips for your fantasy league's waiver wire. Well, the joke is on you, because the reason those guys are on my list is because they stink. For example, last week the team featured names such as Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ben Tate and Scott Chandler. And how did those guys do this week? Pretty well, actually. OK, so maybe you're not dumb, but you're lazy. Definitely lazy.
2. The Chiefs are without their best defensive player, Eric Berry, and their best offensive player, Jamaal Charles, for the rest of the season. This means two other players on the Chiefs will now be referred to as "best." That's a misnomer waiting to happen. Let's go with "least bad."
3. Cleveland's arrival in Indianapolis on Saturday was delayed by 3½ hours because their team plane got stuck in mud at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. The Colts season has been reduced to this.
Colts' "Keys to the Game"
- Hope their opponent's plane gets stuck in the mud, which is apparently something planes can do.
- What's that? They got on a different plane.
- Oh, well.
4. Peyton Manning reportedly went to Europe to receive experimental stem cell therapy for his neck that is not approved in the United States. It's great that he's going above and beyond to get back on the field, but I doubt he got the best care in Europe. They don't follow American football and don't know who Peyton Manning is. Just imagine if the tables were reversed.
U.S. doctor's office receptionist: "Excuse me, doctor. There's a man here named 'Tevez' or something. He claims he's a big star overseas and wants to see you."
U.S. doctor: "Ha! Good one! See if anyone in the psych ward is available to see him. If not, just have security show him out. Thanks."
5. Tim Tebow played some snaps as a wide receiver against the Bengals. Expect to see more of it as Denver continues to install its "Maybe This Will Be Enough to Make Our Fans Shut Up Package."
