Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen believes that his former Ajax team-mate Christian Eriksen has the potential to play for any club in the world.
Goal.com revealed earlier in the month that the Denmark international was one of Spurs' primary targets, although he will remain in the Netherlands until the end of the season.
Vertonghen hailed the 20-year-old as one of the most technically gifted players he has ever lined-up alongside and says he would have no problems adjusting to the Premier League if he were to make a switch.
"Technically he's one of the best players I've played with," Vertonghen told the Evening Standard. "He's right-footed and left-footed and he's always fit.
"Since he was 17 or 18 years old he's played every game for Ajax, he's never been injured, and I think when he gains a bit more physical strength then he can play in every team.
"I don't want to talk for him [about his future] but he's a good player, and I think a good player can play here."
Spurs beat Swansea City 1-0 on Sunday to move back into fourth place in the top flight and Vertonghen claims that manager Andre Villas-Boas already has a strong squad at his disposal.
The Belgium international also feels that the north London side have coped well with the number of key players that have been sidelined due to injury.
"We have a big squad - too many injuries with Younes [Kaboul], Benoit [Assou-Ekotto], Mousa [Dembele], Scott Parker and now Gareth [Bale] - but even without them we've played quite well," he added. "When everybody comes back we'll have a very strong team.
"Gareth is a world-class player but I think we did well without him [against Swansea]. We need a little bit more width on the pitch but I think Clint replaced him very well, like he's replaced all of the strikers already."

Those were two of the 10 bills Nixon vetoed, along with 12 bills that he signed.
At a Capitol news conference, the governor acknowledged getting more than 10,000 e-mails and letters about the bill that would have let employers decline to provide insurance coverage for certain family planning, birth control and abortion services and medications, based on that employer's religious beliefs.
Nixon said Missouri law already provides strong protections for those employers, and the veto was necessary because the Legislature's passage of Senate Bill 749 also gave insurance companies the power to deny that kind of coverage - even if an employer and employee wanted it.
"That would be a step backward," Nixon told reporters. "We want families making those decisions ... not insurance companies."
The governor said he understood the vehicle sales tax bill would save Missouri communities money they lost when the state Supreme Court ruled earlier this year - in a Greene County case - that the "use" tax on out-of-state purchases could not be imposed unless the people had authorized it.
"More than 90 cities and 40 counties have approved it," Nixon reminded reporters.
But the Legislature's bill "attempts to impose a new tax" where citizens have not approved it and, Nixon said, his veto "protects the rights of Missouri voters."

The word in the Hebrew Old Testament for holiness is qodesh; its New Testament Greek equivalent is hagiasmos. Both mean literally "separation." Holiness reflects a separation of the pure from the impure. Ultimately, the term reflects God, who is profoundly other: "Who is like you among the gods, O Lord?" (Ex 15:11). While God is singularly holy, Israel could participate in God's holiness by living the Torah or law. Israel understood herself as separated from the rest of the nations as a priestly people (Ex 19:6). And God commanded, "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy" (Lv 19:2).
The distinction between pure and impure is a running theme in the Gospels and Acts. This issue assuredly reflects the Judaism of Jesus' day and the struggle the early church had with non-Jewish converts. A person was deemed too profane to engage in temple worship or even join temple assemblies if he or she did not keep all the purity laws, or was a leper, a Samaritan, a tax collector, in some way mutilated, a Gentile or someone suspected of having an impure spirit. Jesus was famous for his compassion for those deemed impure, because he healed the maladies that made them so. But he also challenged the categories that labelled people as impure, like the Samaritans. And when purity laws became meaningless or the object of obsessive attention, he simply ignored them.
The Holy Spirit, gift of the risen Christ, blew apart the biggest category of those who were considered impure, the Gentiles. In the first reading, we hear the story of Peter being sent to the house of the Gentile Cornelius. Part of Peter's speech reads, "In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him." While Peter was speaking, the Holy Spirit anointed the Gentiles of that house, and Peter's companions "were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles also."
Clearly the old categories are vanquished. But was the very idea of holiness a casualty of the shift? The readings today retain the deep imperative to be holy, but they redefine that. Peter gives us a start. He recognizes Cornelius and his household as devout souls. Acts tells us that it was Cornelius's piety to which God responded (10:4). The message from the second reading is all the more pertinent: "Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love."
This then is the new purity law, the new way of distinguishing whether one is holy or unholy, pure or impure: Do you love? This kind of love is the opposite of selfish or greedy acquisitiveness. The love the Scriptures have in mind is divine love. God must be the source, and when we love out of this source we mediate the divine. Jesus' long speech in the reading from John's Gospel is filled with the imperative to love. "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love." Jesus tells us that we remain in his love if we keep his commandments, which boil down to just one: "This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you."
There is a kind of sacred circularity here. We are loved first by God, and this enables us to be holy and to love as God loves. We remain in that divine intimacy insofar as we love, and loving is the sole criterion that determines our holiness. Once you receive the gift and live the gift, you become the gift—that is, you become a divinely loving soul, and you become a gift to those you love as well.
Holiness as love is both gift from God and God's very being offered to all. We see that in the example of Cornelius and indeed today in the witness of profound souls, some inside our institution and some outside. As Peter says, "God shows no partiality."

Sex assault trial delayed over woman's drug test resultsBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
June 25. 2013 6:47PM
BRENTWOOD — A woman who says she was drugged by a convicted sex offender before he sexually assaulted her friend tested positive for Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid — commonly known as a date rape drug, prosecutors said.
However, the drug did not turn up in test results for the woman who Aaron Bonds, 44, of Dover, is accused of sexually assaulting at a Portsmouth apartment last July 11, according to court records.
Prosecutors were recently allowed to delay Bonds' trial — set to begin this month — until the week of Sept. 30 so that a state lab worker can write an expert report to interpret the test results.
Bonds is charged with three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault and a single count of dispensing a controlled drug.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held pending trial.
Prosecutors say that Bonds met up with two of the women at a Portsmouth restaurant the night of July 11, providing them with cocaine allegedly laced with another drug.
A third woman joined the trio at an apartment later in the night and also ingested the drug, according to police.
The 26-year-old woman was unable to move when Bonds "approached her from behind and committed acts of sexual assault," assistant county attorney Brad Bolton said in a court motion.
Prosecutors said the assault victim had "cocaine and buphrenorphine (suboxone)" in her system when she provided a urine sample collected at a local hospital.
The other woman who was not assaulted but ingested cocaine allegedly provided by Bonds had the GHB drug in her system. No results were disclosed regarding the third woman.
Bonds is being held at the Strafford County jail and was convicted in another sexual assault case in 2003. In the latest case, he could be sentenced to 20 to 40 years in state prison and a $4,000 fine on each of the sexual assault charges.

Charles M. Arlinghaus: The thing about change is that it changes
What happened today is the new reality and replaces everything that ever came before. We have crossed a Rubicon and will never turn back from it. Every time something dramatic or trivial happens, analysts and anchors, politicians and pundits opine on how the world has changed forever. They tell us that a revolution in the human condition occurred and life (or politics or some other endeavor) will never be the same again. They are always wrong.
This week, journalist Jonathan Chait wrote "the most common fallacy of journalism, and one of the most common fallacies of the human brain in general, is the assumption that whatever is happening at the moment will continue to happen forever." He was responding to what he called the hyperventilation over the Obamacare rollout, but the point might be made of all of politics.
Similarly, after the 2010 elections, I warned politicians in general that elections should not be taken as a sign of mass conversion. "They are not a sweeping denunciation of an old regime in favor of a new and radically different way of life." Instead, I suggested that the populace was merely looking in the direction of another crop of people and wondering what they might try instead. "You have a mandate to do something, not carte blanche to wield power as you choose."
Politicians, though, are troublesome listeners. They instead did their best to make me seem uncharacteristically prescient: "The people are watching and are quite content to throw politicians into the street again."
Before being thrown out into the streets again, some politicians assumed that everything had changed forever. It was a mistake that had been made by the people they themselves had thrown into the streets.
New Hampshire's political history is generally written by people without anything resembling historical perspective. Reporters from away routinely ask why a state that had been so rock-solidly conservative since almost forever had so reliably switched completely.
A little perspective is in order. During the period from 1962-1982, New Hampshire had 10 years of GOP governors and 10 of Democratic. The U.S. Senate seats in that same time period included 22 years of Democratic service and 18 years of Republican. Not exactly one-party rule.
We then had 14 straight years of GOP governors followed by Democratic control for what will be 16 of the last 18 years at the next election. Pendulums seem to be the order of the day.
Policymakers should take note. Current hyperventilating, to use Chait's metaphor, is not necessarily a new reality. Emotional reaction and the peak level of an angst graph are not sustained belief that can't or won't change.
The federal health law (Obamacare, or the ACA, if you prefer) has been unpopular since it was originally passed almost four years ago. But the current wave of increasing unpopularity is based less on substance and more on a technical failure. The website doesn't work, and people don't agree with websites not working. But I think it will probably get fixed.
Conservative opposition to the new federal system is not based on a belief that websites can never work and can't be fixed. That will change. The situation today will not persist indefinitely.
In contrast, recent angst about cancellation of health insurance is a better example of our concerns about the likely effects of a new federal regulatory scheme. The cancellation of insurance you had and liked and the requirement that you be charged as much as double to replace it is not a glitch that can be fixed. It is an essential part of the new regulations.
Similarly, that the regulatory exchange in New Hampshire has only one provider is expected. That its rates will be much higher than current coverage was also predicted. Critics should be telling people that the only way it exists even today is through temporary agreements with hospitals that pay not market rates, but a temporary below-cost rate that in some cases is worse than Medicaid.
A network of winners and losers that initially excluded half the hospitals in the state and even now excludes 40 percent of them was not a heartless decision by the plan manager, but a predictable outcome of the regulation they have to try and manage.
Glitches will come and go. The reality of today will not be the reality of tomorrow. But a reasoned discussion of real policy concerns can weather passing winds and fleeting trends.

This woman has chutzpah: www.ted.com/talks/cameron_russell_looks_aren_t_everything_believe_me_i_m_a_model.htmlMike.
Were professionals such as engineers, architects, consultants, doctors, nurses, attorneys, professors, teachers, pilots, accountants and so on to have the opportunity to show young people what their jobs and careers are like, many more people would aspire to these professions.
They have this show on air now worldwide called "dancing with the stars".
the prime attraction for most people in that show imo was the fact that relatively unknown dancers who are otherwise very good at their game got a chance to transfer their enthusiasm about their "profession" to other people (who just happen to be celebs) and we get to witness both the enthusiasm and the skill.
, and simply find people who are good at their job and enthusiastic about their profession, a photographer, a pilot, a lawyer, whatever, then follow these people for a couple of days, so that you get enough footage for "a day in the life of...", that would imo make a great and at the same time educational show.
You're welcome, Erik! And Rob, I invest far too much time on social networks like Twitter! Marcia and I have a policy, though... at least 99% of the time we only share things that we believe to be uplifting. There's far too much 'bad news' in the world already.Mike.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Meeting of October 23, 2008 – Issues Facing Hispanics in the Federal Workplace
Madam Chair, Madam Vice Chair, Commissioners, and Colleagues,
My name is Sarah Jaggar, and I am Senior Advisor to the Partnership for Public Service, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that seeks to revitalize our federal government by inspiring a new generation to serve and by transforming the way government works. We work closely with federal agencies to improve the effectiveness of their recruiting and hiring in order to not only attract but retain "the right talent" to accomplish the complex missions facing the federal government today. In its 7-year existence, the Partnership has focused continuously on this goal, believing that to be successful, the federal government must be fully representative of the skills, talents, interests, and experience of all people living in our great land. Thank you for providing the Partnership for Public Service an opportunity to discuss issues facing Hispanics in the federal workplace.
Since 2000 Hispanics have accounted for half of the population growth in the United States. Yet as a group, Hispanics are consistently underrepresented in the federal workforce, comprising 7.7%1 versus 12.7% of the Civilian Labor Force2. As the numbers and roles of Hispanics in the United States increase and improve, the state of Hispanic representation in the federal workforce is not keeping pace and acutely more so in the ranks of federal senior executives.
The importance of a diverse workforce has been emphasized frequently. Savvy companies in the private sector focus on the numerous benefits they achieve by successfully bridging cultural and language differences in the globalized world of business. They cite diversification simply as "a must". This is and MUST be equally true for federal agencies and departments. Workforce diversity:
We partner with more than 620 colleges and universities around the country in our national Call to Serve program, and we unfortunately see Hispanic and Latino students who are discouraged from applying for federal jobs at agencies so in need of "the best and the brightest" because they do not see people "like themselves" in those agencies.
What a loss this is! Research and pilot projects conducted by the Partnership starting in 2005 show that among college students, Hispanics are the ethnic group most interested in working for the federal government (51% expressed high interest in federal careers).3 However, among their peers, Hispanic students were the least knowledgeable about available federal jobs (62% reported having little or no knowledge about federal job opportunities or how to find and apply for them). Thus this research shows that with perseverance, creativity, use of the Hispanic employees already on board, and distinct efforts to reach out to potential applicants where they are, agencies can inspire and hire Hispanic and Latino students and graduates for federal careers and internships.
For these reasons, in 2007 the Partnership worked with federal and private sector representatives to identify practices that are most effective in recruiting and retaining Hispanics4. During this process, we learned several important lessons:
Importantly, we also learned that an agency's (or company's) success in recruiting and retaining Hispanics one-for-one correlates with strong, directly-communicated, sustained commitment from the highest leaders in the organization. Without this, agencies rarely make progress.
In addition, we clearly see that committed leaders track their progress. A highly effective tool for this is the Best Places to Work5 rankings produced by the Partnership using data from OPM's biannual Federal Human Capital Survey. Our last report, produced in 2007 using 2006 survey results, showed that NASA, GAO, and the Social Security Administration were ranked as the three best places to work among the large agencies by employees who classified themselves as Hispanics. Leaders at each of these agencies will tell you that their success is due to sustained effort and innovative approaches to reach out to Hispanic applicants. The moral of the story is that improvements and changes do not just happen because people want them to — they require strategic, systematic action and accountability for results.
Basic legal underpinnings, such as Executive Order 13171 and EEOC's Management Directive 715, are in place for agencies to address the low representation of Hispanics. Even so, leadership and enforcement from central federal agencies has varied during the recent past, leaving it primarily up to individual agencies to plan their own activities. Several federal agencies -- including but not limited to the Best Places to Work leading organizations I mentioned above, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and others, supported by strong relationships with Hispanic professional organizations such as HACU and LULAC -- can provide models on how to be successful. Happily, good examples that can inspire and inform the public sector also exist in the private sector (at companies such as Ernst & Young and Hewlett Packard, to mention two).
Like the private sector, the federal government may lose almost half of its workforce in the next decade as baby-boomers retire. The competition to hire top young American talent from an increasingly multicultural pool has become fierce. Private industry and the public sector are competing for the same talent and studies show the federal government is losing this competition. To lose the competition for Hispanics would be a double loss: not only would top young Hispanics not enter the federal workforce, but the government's ability to perform its mission well could be constrained.
We applaud the EEOC's interest in ensuring that the federal government benefits from the skills and expertise of all segments of the labor force, including the nation's talented Hispanics and Latinos. While the current economic downturn may have delayed some of the widely reported talent exodus from the federal government, it has not stopped it. Serious challenges face the federal government, highlighting the need for well-educated, highly-skilled talent to address those challenges. Competition for this "right talent" may be tough, but it creates some real opportunities to meet the hiring challenges in a way that addresses both skill gaps and diversity goals. The Partnership looks forward to working with you and with federal agencies to help the federal government become a model employer with a workforce that fully represents its citizens and the people it serves.
I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have.

Actor and auteur Takeshi Kitano (who in Japan also uses the stage name Beat Takeshi, primarily for his work as a television comedian) wrote, directed, edited, and starred in this unusual crime drama. Nishi (Takeshi Kitano) is a policeman whose emotions seem to run only on two extreme paths -- either quiet contentment or brutal rage. Nishi's life is falling apart around him; his daughter was murdered, his wife, Miyuki (Kayoko Kishimoto), is dying of leukemia, his partner, Horibe (Ren Osugi), was ambushed by thugs after Nishi left him to visit his wife in the hospital and will now spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and another cop was killed coming to Horibe's rescue. Nishi desperately wants to quit his job so he can spend more time with his dying wife, so he borrows a large sum of money from the yakuza (the Japanese mafia) and takes up a career as a painter while he cares for Miyuki. Not wanting to stay in debt to the gangsters, Nishi engineers a daring bank robbery (using his police uniform and an old auto disguised to look like a squad car) and uses the loot to pay off the yakuza and take his wife on a final vacation. However, the loan sharks are not eager to have Nishi off the hook, and they begin complaining that he still owes them interest on their loan.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Hendricken splits first two against Panthers
The road to McCoy Stadium was a long one for the Bishop Hendricken baseball team.
The Hawks rode a dominant performance by Mike King and a solid offensive day to an 8-0 victory in game one of their semifinal series on Friday, but Johnston forced a game three with a 5-4, extra-innings victory in Saturday's game two.
Hendricken came into the series without a loss in league play and fresh off a 15-2 thumping of Moses Brown in the region championship. Johnston was riding high too. After a 7-11 regular season, the Panthers upset South Kingstown in the first round of region action and never looked back, beating the Rebels again to capture a spot in the Final Four.
King and the Hendricken offense put upset dreams to rest early on Friday. After King worked a perfect top of the first, the Hawks roughed up Johnston starter Joe Bongiovanni for four runs in the bottom half.
Rob Henry and Ed Markowski started the big inning with walks. John Toppa plated Henry with a base hit and King brought Markowski home with a double. Gian Martellini plated two more runs with a single to left.
Just like that, the Hawks were sitting pretty.
"We played well today," Holloway said. "The key is getting the four runs in the first inning. With King on the mound, it's going to be hard for anybody to come back on that. The other team is thinking 'We've got to get five runs off of him to win the game.' And that's not easy to do."
It was especially tough on this day. King allowed one hit in six shutout innings – and that one hit was a line drive that Jarek Krajewski dove for and almost caught at first base.
King finished with six strikeouts.
"He pitched great," Holloway said.
Dan Thadeio finished the game with a scoreless seventh, and by then, the Hawks were comfortably in front. After the first-inning outburst, the Hawks chased Bongiovanni with another run in the third. Toppa doubled and scored on a wild pitch.
In the fourth, the Hawks broke the game open with three more runs. Lou Umberto led off with a single and Rob Henry walked. Markowski moved each of them up with a bunt and Toppa lined a two-run single into left. A sac fly by King scored Toppa.
"I thought we did a good job advancing runners and putting innings together," Holloway said.
Toppa led the offensive surge. The sophomore went 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored. Martellini and King also drove in two runs each.
"In the middle of the season, we kind of hit a drought, but I think we've been really locked in for the playoffs," Toppa said. "It's been working for us."
As impressive as the victory was, though, the Hawks knew they still had work to do.
"The series isn't over," Holloway said after game one. "They're a good team. They're here for a reason."
That proved prophetic.
The Hawks jumped to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning on Saturday, but quickly realized it wouldn't be the same kind of game as Friday's match-up. Johnston quickly responded with three runs in the bottom of the third. They took advantage of three walks by Hendricken starter Mike McCaffrey and an error, and got a key two-run single by Mike Caparco.
From thee, it was a back-and-forth game befitting a semifinal series.
The Panthers went up 4-2 when Steve Perfetto doubled in a run in the third. Perfetto, Johnston's starter, also settled in on the mound, working three scoreless frames after giving up the two runs in the first.
In the fifth, the Hawks battled back, tying the game 4-4 on RBI singles by Martellini and Jarek Krajewski. But the Panthers limited the damage when Bongiovanni caught a line drive and doubled a runner off first to end the inning.
Perfetto pitched into the eighth for Johnston and kept the Hawks off the board. Hendricken reliever Matt Murphy – the everyday second baseman who's seen limited innings – matched him after coming on in the fifth, but eventually Johnston made its move.
In the bottom of the ninth, Ryan McKeon led off with a single. Markowski made a sliding catch on a popped-up bunt for the first out, but Steve Pennacchia and Mike Pennacchia followed with singles to load the bases. With the infield in, Perfetto poked a soft line drive toward left-center field and it fell in for a base hit.
McKeon raced in with the winning run.
The teams would play another day.
"It turned out to be a great game," Holloway said. "We just didn't get the job done. We hit too many fly balls, we got the leadoff guy on in a few innings and didn't move him. We can't do things like that and expect to win."

Obama was en route to a campaign speech in Boulder, home of University of Colorado buffaloes, when he interrupted dozens of customers having eggs and coffee.
Reporters heard Obama commenting on how good the food looked as he asked people about their lives.
One college student who was waiting for Obama to get to her table said, "I'm just so hungry."

Bus timetable is being improved in Rockhampton Region
AN improved bus timetable will be the new face of public transport in the Rockhampton region.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads together with Sunbus and Transit Australia Group are introducing a new Rockhampton bus network which will be launched on Monday, January 21. Sunbus operations manager John Cadamy has been in the transport industry for 12 years.
Mr Cadamy said it's been 20 years since the last reconstruction to the network which is why there were issues with public transport in the past few years.
"The new timetable and bus routes will improve the previous issue of late runnings," he said. "It will streamline networks, navigate through the network and greatly improve the safety of school children who catch buses before and after school."
Mr Cadamy said school children, middle-aged residents and pensioners are most frequent users of public transport.
For local residents routes will be simpler and in many cases more direct. Route numbers have changed to a more simplistic system that will improve reliability and make services safer and easier to use.
These changes will also impact all Qconnect routes including school services and some bus stop locations in Rockhampton.

A toaster is a machine for toasting food such as sliced bread and bagels. Toasted bread is called toast. Other toastable products may be described as toaster pastry.
A typical toaster works by heating the bread. The heat is usually produced by conducting electricity through nichrome wires (Joule-effect). The toasting process consists of reducing the bread's water content (originally ~35% of total weight), raising its temperature, and slightly charring its surface.

The narrow, deep space occupied by the Sycamore is reminiscent of a shotgun-style house. The longtime home of the former Sycamore Cafe has high ceilings, still decorated with tin molding.
The addition of modern ductwork and other improvements creates a Victorian-industrial effect.
The American menu is well-crafted, with plenty of original touches. A recurrent theme is the effective use of chili. In the curried sweet-potato bisque ($6), for example, a low-but-perceptible amount of heat is in the background of sweet-potato flavor and moderate curry seasonings. Plumped raisins add sweetness, and bacon adds smokiness.
The quinoa salad ($7) is one of the best uses of the South American grain, which can be a challenge to cook. Sycamore serves the grain with good texture and a complex of flavors from pumpkin seeds, horseradish and mild pepper. Like many items here, it is decorated with radish sprouts.
The star of the arugula salad ($9) is the lightly pickled slices of red onion, which combine well with goat cheese, fig slices and a light vinaigrette.
According to one of the servers, the fries that come with each sandwich aren�t made on-site. But the menu says house-cut � which is how the fries look and taste. They don�t need the malt-
vinegar-flavored, aioli-type dipping sauce that comes on the side; they�re already sprinkled with slices of garlic.
Sandwiches are served with flavorful pickles cured in-house with spicy pepper.
The seared tuna of the ahi tuna sandwich ($15) is unusually seasoned with spicy mayonnaise, pickled corn, cucumber and hot-pepper slices. The bun is rich but barely holds everything together long enough to transport from plate to mouth. The pleasant meld of flavors, though, is worth the effort.
Locally made corn tortillas enhance the tacos. The sunfish tacos ($11 for three) use fish fillets fried dark in a Cajun-inspired pepper rub. They�re given a dab of mole sauce, which adds interest. The sunfish tacos, like all of the others, come with cruet of a relish made with radish slivers, avocado, jalapeno slices and lime. Diners add the relish to suit their tastes.
The wild-mushroom tacos ($9 for three) use mushrooms that are cooked with, and well-infused by, spicy-hot serrano peppers. A large dab of goat cheese provides some relief from the heat.
The impressive large plates include two large pieces of Amish-raised chicken with a darkly fried skin that tastes almost caramelized, in part because of the barbecue sauce in which they�re cooked (Harold�s Barbecue Amish chicken, $19).
The chicken is served atop a pile of equally caramelized Brussels sprouts and next to a mound of competent mashed redskins.
Desserts, which cost $8, have been inconsistent. The best has been the nicely textured silk pie, with a custardy mix of light and dark chocolates on a nutty Oreo crust. The macerated raspberries were missing.
The banana tartlet is said to have a gingersnap crust. The ginger flavor was missing, as was the caramelization of the banana custard, which has slices of lightly warmed banana on top. It is a good concept in need of better execution.
In the same boat is the gala apple crisp, whose use of gently cooked, tart apple slices is the best feature. After baking, the tart and the accompanying scoop of adequate vanilla ice cream are sprinkled with rolled oats. (The granola, said to be house-made, had no flavor other than that of uncooked rolled oats.)
By-the-glass wine selections are mostly food-friendly. Among whites, the Craggy Range New Zealand sauvignon blanc ($9) has grapefruit flavors, and the Anne Amis Oregon pinot gris ($9) sports excellent structure underneath the notes of honeyed richness.
The Oregon pinot noir from Lemelson ($10) is well-scented, balanced, and free of excessive oak and alcoholic heat.

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 NASA Aims for Possible Shuttle Launch Attempt Friday NASA is targeting a possible launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on Friday, Sept. 8 because of a problem associated with one of the spacecraft's electricity-producing fuel cells. Shuttle program managers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center decided Wednesday afternoon additional time was needed to evaluate fuel cell flight history and potential causes of the malfunction. Mission managers will hold another meeting Thursday at 1 p.m. EDT to assess the issue. There will be a news conference on NASA Television at the conclusion of that meeting. If the team decides to "go" for launch Friday, lift-off would be at 11:41 a.m. EDT. Tuesday night as ground teams were preparing for Atlantis' scheduled launch Wednesday, a voltage spike in the motor of Atlantis' fuel cell #1 coolant pump was observed during the activation of the shuttle's three fuel cells. The coolant pump flows Freon through the fuel cell to prevent it from overheating during flights. During Atlantis' mission, STS-115, astronauts will deliver and install a girder-like structure, known as the P3/P4 truss, aboard the station. The 35,000-pound piece includes a set of giant solar arrays, batteries and associated electronics. The arrays eventually will double the station's power capability. Atlantis' crew, Commander Brent Jett, Pilot Chris Ferguson and mission specialists Dan Burbank, Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper, Joe Tanner and Steve MacLean, a Canadian Space Agency astronaut, will remain at Kennedy Space Center while the fuel cell evaluation continues.

Caesar's Gallic Wars contains the following clause (1.9.2):
ut eo deprecatore a Sequanis impetrarent.
which I translate as: so that, by this intercessor, they might obtain [their desired result] from the Sequani.
I am not sure how I would classify "eo deprecatore"; perhaps an ablative of means. But the notes from J. B. Greenough, Benjamin L. D'Ooge, and M. Grant Daniell, say it's an ablative absolute.
Is this the general view? Why not an ablative of means?
Should I not then expect it to contain a participle (or an inferred participle of sum)?
Thanks in advance for your help.

As school year starts, talk of new testing begins in ManchesterBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 01. 2014 8:42PM
School starts Wednesday in Manchester and several other New Hampshire communities, and for the first time in nine years, teachers won't be prepping students almost immediately for an hours-long standardized test.
Gone is NECAP, the five-state New England Common Assessment Program that was given in October and created anxiety among school administrators. If test scores were good enough, a principal's school earned the AYP status — Adequate Yearly Progress.
Low test scores meant being labeled as a School in Need of Improvement and prompted teachers and principals to focus on weak subject areas, and in some cases to change entire curricula.
"Pressurized, high-stakes testing is never fun for the students and staff," said Patrick Boodey, principal at Woodman Park Elementary School in Dover. "It (NECAP) wasn't all evil, but at the same time, no one is going to protest its departure."
Welcome Smarter Balanced Assessment, which is designed by a 21-state consortium to test standards developed by Common Core. It is to be given in grades three through eight and the 11th grade, the same grades as NECAP. It differs in several ways, principals and an education official said last week:
• Timing. It will be given in the spring, during a 12-week period of a school district's choosing. By May, students will have been in the learning mode for months; principals said they will be tested on material they are simultaneously learning.
"We have a lot better chance with a spring test than a fall test," said Arthur Adamakos, principal of Manchester Memorial High School, whose school district is seeking a waiver from using the Smarter Balanced test.
• Testing. The test will be taken on a computer, rather than with a pencil and paper. Some questions will be multiple choice, but others will require "constructed responses," such as typing in the numerical answer to a math problem or a sentence that draws a conclusion from a reading passage.
• Adaptive testing. The more correct answers a student gets, the harder the questions become, and vice versa.
"This means you get a true assessment of where each student is at," said Scott Mantie, who heads up testing for the state Department of Education.
• Languages. The test is available in English, Spanish and American Sign Language. Translation of words and phrases is available in 10 languages, including Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese.
When it comes to state policy, many particulars haven't been decided yet for Smarter Balanced. For example, education officials have yet to sit down with superintendents and develop a system for grading schools based on results, Mantie said.
School performance will be based on a new touchstone — Annual Measurable Objectives — rather than Adequate Yearly Progress, after New Hampshire received a federal waiver, Mantie said.
Also unclear is whether the 2015 results will even count, or just be used as a base year, he said.
School administrators say they are nervous about Smarter Balanced, mostly because it is new.
"We're in a gray area right now. We're actually concerned about the (computer-based) format of Smarter Balanced," Boodey said.
Principals said they will do the best they can to prepare the students, in part by taking practice tests. At Barnstead Elementary School, for example, students have been taking the NWEA Map test, a computerized test, for several years, Principal Tim Rice said.
Most principals said they expect teachers will give students practice drills on the test.
"I know it's a dirty word — test prep — but it only makes sense," Rice said. Sample tests are available for anyone at smarterbalanced.org.
Adamakos points out that, like NECAP, Smarter Balanced has no real consequences for students. He expects Memorial High School would use prizes and other incentives to encourage students to take the test seriously.
Mantie said some states do have consequences for assessments, such as Massachusetts, where students must pass a standardized test to graduate from high school. But he said that is difficult to implement in New Hampshire, where local school districts resist dictates from Concord.

|ASUS P7P55D-E Pro Motherboard
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Motherboards
|Written by Bruce Normann
|Thursday, 24 June 2010
Page 12 of 17
CINEBENCH 11.5 Benchmark
I'm a little confused by the choice of ASUS p7p55d-e motherboards: standard, lx, pro, evo, deluxe, premium.
Is there is real reason to choose the deluxe version over the pro version reviewed above (I'm not an overclocker, so not sure if all the power lanes will make a difference, and the only other differences I see are the variety of audio ports and an extra LAN port)?
Thanks for any advice.
If you're not overclocking, then search for the best price to fit your needs. All P55 motherboards, regardless of manufacturer, will produce roughly identical performance results (minus OC). Just make sure that it has the extra features you might need down the road.
Putting it another way, is there a disadvantage of the Deluxe over, say, the Pro version (e.g. power consumption), apart from the price?
Dual LAN Controllers with "Teaming" feature.
TurboV remote control included with Deluxe.
16+3 PWM phases v. 12+2.
If you're not overclocking, and you don't need the two extra audio channels and you don't need dual NICs, then don't spend the extra money. I don't see any of the included features helping to future-proof your system. The USB 3.0 and the SATA 6Gb/s are the keys for that, and both boards have that.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mariah Carey is charting course for a new "Empire" with a guest appearance on the popular Fox television series, the show's creator announced Wednesday.
"Empire" creator Lee Daniels announced the Grammy winner would appear on his show while introducing Carey at a ceremony where she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"Watch her on 'Empire' you guys. She's coming on 'Empire,' " Daniels said to loud cheers from fans.
The Oscar-nominated director didn't elaborate on what role Carey would play, or how she might interact with the show's diva, Cookie Lyon.
Neither Fox nor Carey elaborated on Daniels' announcement, but the network is scheduled to present its plans for "Empire" and other upcoming shows at a Television Critics Association panel on Thursday.
Carey, 45, has appeared in the films "Lee Daniels' The Butler" and "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," which earned Daniels two Academy Award nominations.
She has won five Grammy Awards since releasing her debut album in 1990. She also served as a judge on Fox's "American Idol" competition series for one season.

Unitil asks homeowners to keep gas meters and vents clear of snow
February 09. 2013 11:03AM
HAMPTON - Unitil, (www.unitil.com), a provider of natural gas and electricity to customers in New England, urges the public to keep natural gas meters, heating and appliance exhaust vents clear of snow and ice to prevent carbon monoxide buildup within their homes.
The nor'easter still impacting the region has left significant amounts of snow around people's homes. Heavy, wet or blowing snow can block heating and appliance exhaust vents which can cause equipment to malfunction resulting in a loss of heat or the possibility of a deadly buildup of carbon monoxide in the building. As snow accumulates, Unitil advises the public to take the following steps:
- > People with heating or other appliances with direct vents should check and keep vents clear of ice and snow.
- > Remove snow and ice carefully from a meter or outdoor appliance vent carefully with a broom. Do not use a shovel as it can damage the meter.
- > Avoid shoveling or plowing snow up against or covering the meter or pipe.
- > Remove icicles from overhead eaves and gutters to assure dripping water does not freeze the meter or vent pipe. Contact a qualified roofing vendor if you cannot reach the icicles yourself.
- > Do not kick your gas meter in an attempt to break ice off, as this too can cause damage.
Keeping vents and meters clear will allow for proper ventilation and can prevent carbon monoxide buildup within your home.
Customers experiencing outages should call the following toll-free numbers:
- For the NH Seacoast Area: 1-800-582-7276
- For the NH Capital Area: 1-800-852-3339
- For Massachusetts: 1-888-301-7700

I quite enjoy the veins and how thick it is. Pretty strong for something that works on batteries and last about a month before having to change them.
If you want Clint stimulation, pair with a toy that gives it.(this and a body wand make me squirt) Not all girls can handle the girth, I enjoy it though.
Only thing bad is if you turn it to quickly you could unscrew the lid but nothing too troubling if you get down to it.

I just self-audited and have 12 more hours of continuing education to take before August 4th. Hello VanEd. Most of it will be legalistic and boring, and not as relevant as the 4 hours I got from The Real Estate Yoda last Thursday, Mr. Larry Kendall. It's always a good few hours with Larry, and he actually had a few new tricks in the "showing is better than telling" gear bag.
Let's pause: 2006. I'm managing agents and hating my life. I have just started the Stat Pack in April and can tell the market is on the edge of a cliff. We had gone from 3800 summertime listings to 6000, and unit sales were dipping. I'm meeting with the owner of a company when another agent comes in with his pitch of "it's a great time to buy." This was the same guy who beat me up about frequently doing deals as a Transaction-Broker because my clients had a pretty good idea of what they wanted to do in that rapidly appreciating market… here was Senor Client Advocate blazing the trail of foreclosure for his clients. What has happened since market peak in early 2006 is basically this:
- We have been in a perpetual heavy-inventory market (3900 summertime listings compared to 6052 last year… over 7000 in 2007).
- Annual sales units have effectively been cut in half (13,000 single family sales and another 4000 non-MLS new builts in 2005… compared to under 8200 in 2010).
- Average sales price has dropped 12%, or $30,000 on an annual basis
- Unemployment has doubled from around 5% to around 10% locally
It's been a real barrel of fun.
Larry's tribe of Ninja's don't plaster their cars with "it's a great time to buy!" stickers that fade, crack and wear out and are replaced with "Need to Short-Sell? Call Me!" We work with people that are motivated by pleasure or pain and lay out strategies that are customized for their needs and sustain their futures. We are present to the now. So when Larry went to the "this is the best real estate market I've seen to buy into in my 38 years" I about short-circuited. Was Yoda really saying rush in and storm the castle?
As usual, Yoda was speaking more along the lines of "the market is best in 38 years it is… your choice is what?" He then proceeded to show, and did so by citing, The Big Boys.
I will post follow ups to this, but here is the executive summary:
Fortune Magazine's April 2011 Issue announced it as "the time" to return to real estate. Interesting. I'm so used to media doomsaying about my industry, to see the content line as "Forget stocks. Don't bet on gold. After four years of plunging home prices, the most attractive asset class in America is housing" is almost like a time warp. I halfway expect to see the next article on CNN about Kerry and Edwards.
Federal Housing and Finance Authority's analysis of the Colorado Springs' Real Estate Market shows it is poised for recovery with lower inventory and stable demand (check and check so far in 2011 with no reason to believe otherwise).
Private Mortgage Insurance, cats who truly have skin-in-the-game, have the downside risk of future depreciation in the Colorado Springs market at only 16.8%, one of the lowest in the country. The affordability index is just over 150%. Case in point: clients who closed this month and took advantage of PMI's one-time fee-option paid 1.34% at closing to eliminate their mortgage insurance entirely with only 5% down. They had good credit and bought in a strong area, and PMI said "no problem". Colorado Springs has been removed from PMI's declining market's index for over a year.
Then there is Case-Schiller.
I have not once said that I thought Case-Schiller was being overly optimistic, but the Top Ten percentile of areas where they predict a return to maximum value by 2013 includes three counties in Colorado: Boulder, Larimer and El Paso. That would be us. I don't agree with them, we have to stop depreciating in order to spin around, and I think a two-year surge that out-paces four-years of declines is unlikely. But by 2014 or 2015… I think that's probably right.

During a special meeting that replaced their regular April 18 meeting, GWSSA board members unanimously voted to impose a mandatory 50 percent reduction in irrigation water usage for its customers, and set the target date for the system start up at no earlier than April 25 and no later than April 29. GWSSA manager Mark Sovine said the agency would mail out a letter to all irrigation customers early next week informing them of the details.
Despite a recent spate of storms, the water level in the Ken's Lake reservoir remains at record-low levels. The lake measured 418 acre-feet of water on April 1, still only about one-third of its average amount of water this time of year.
Sovine said that water pumped from wells will likely be needed to supplement the Ken's Lake irrigation water, even with the allowable usage cut in half for irrigation customers. Further restrictions may still be needed later, board members cautioned at the meeting.
"We'll start with that and see how it goes," said board member Gary Wilson.
The restrictions imposed by GWSSA don't apply to culinary-only customers, nor do they affect irrigation water users who aren't GWSSA customers, including those in-town users who are serviced by the Moab Irrigation Company.
Even so, local and state water officials are encouraging all residents to conserve water and apply responsible watering practices throughout the upcoming season.

The primary target audience for Creative Countertops products and services are middleclass homeowners in Ocean and Monmouth county NJ who are in the process of renovating their kitchens.
Creative Countertops is undergoing a complete identity redevelopment and requires a new logo to serve as the backbone. The logo will be used in a variety of applications including business cards, marketing material (print), store signage, vehicle wrap, polo shirts and a new website.
Creativity is key! Please no "cookie cutter" logos.
** Please avoid the format of having a basic icon/mark and then the company name in plain text next to it. **
The logo should flow and have a touch of elegance. Avoid the use of hard lines and straight line geometric shapes.
The logo concept can include a curved, circular or oval crest as the supporting background.
The arrangement and positioning of the logo elements do not need precision accuracy, don't be afraid to "color outside the lines".
The primary typeface desired is to be script or serif based. Blocky, sans-serif typefaces should be avoided.
Separate typefaces can be used for the two words in the business name. Think of it this way. The word "Creative" promotes the business approach to each project, the typeface selection should support this. The word "Countertops" references the deliverable product, we need this typeface to promote quality.
A color scheme including a "burnt" orange and complimentary blues is desired. Silver colored highlights or accents are desired though not required.
We would also like to see the logos overlayed on variety of backgrounds. Ideally a light color (white) and a dark color (blue). This is not a requirement of your initial submission, it can be included in a revision.
Please do not use any stock photos or clip-art. Must be royalty free.
We also would like to have a business card layout designed and included to go with the new logo. This is not a requirement of your initial submission but will be for contest finalists.
The deliverable file format should be Adobe Illustrator or EPS.
We are open to your creative direction and value your opinion highly.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- While speaking at the podium after receiving the Super Bowl MVP award, Seattle linebacker Malcolm Smith was interrupted by someone who wanted to talk about something other than the Seahawks 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos.
A 9/11 "truther" got on the microphone and told the audience, "Investigate 9/11. Nine-eleven was perpetrated by people in our own government."
Smith handled the interruption like a professional and proceeded with the interview. It was believed that the man, identified as 30-year-old Matthew Mills, was arrested.
Per the NJ State Police, the 9/11 "truther" is Matthew Mills, 30, from Brooklyn (sigh). His media affiliation was listed as "unknown."— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) February 3, 2014
Matthew Mills a journalist who is associate with @WeAreChangeNYC & has interviewed Tom Brokaw among others @HubbuchNYP #911truth #superbowl— Adam Zettler (@adamvzettler) February 3, 2014
How did a guy from something called "We Are Change" get a Super Bowl pass? The NFL needs to seriously tighten up its credential process.— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) February 3, 2014
The MVP of Super Bowl XLVIII won the award after intercepting a Peyton Manning pass and returning it for a touchdown. Smith, the No. 242 choice in the 2011 draft, also recovered a fumble during the game.
"You dream of winning the Super Bowl," Smith said after the game. "But MVP? No. You put in the work and hope it's enough. But, recently, you appreciate every opportunity that comes to you."

Jan. 11, 2012
BOSTON — One of the first things you'll notice about the highly controversial Boston University National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories... a.k.a. the biolab... is that it's hard to get into. Park in a back lot, go through a security checkpoint, pass along a guarded walkway and then you're at the front door — where the real screening starts. Security at the seven-story glass-and-stone building is tight, something longtime biolab supporter mayor Tom Menino likes to stress.
"It's probably the most secure lab I've been in. They've done a good job here," he tells city councilors, community leaders and reporters on a Jan. 10 tour.
The $200 million building is designed for research on some of the world's most deadly diseases, such as Ebola hemorrhagic fever and plague. Both have mortality rates up to 90 percent. That's why the building has remained virtually vacant for years, tangled in a web of permitting and complaints over its location.
Menino justifies the decision thus: "People say to me — why an urban area? Well, we're close to our 27 hospitals so we can share that research. We don't want it in Timbuktu…. All precautions have been taken as we built this lab."
A space shuttle environment in a Boston building
As the mayor leads attendees through the facility, those precautions are in your face. Literally: You need an iris scan to go practically anywhere. Biolab director Dr. John Murphy says there's technology to prevent people from slipping into the lab behind someone else: If more than one person goes through, an alarm goes off.
Once inside, workers have safeguards. Dr. Ron Corley, the biolab's associate director, says people working with the most dangerous agents will be outfitted in $2,600 spacesuits that are fed sterilized air via a red-coiled tube that hangs from the ceiling. "Seal the suit up and you're in the suit environment," he says.
Every time researchers enter a Level 4 lab they'll have to take a seven-minute chemical shower to sterilize their suit. And they'll need to take a regular shower every time they exit. Which makes you wonder…
"If you need to go to the restroom there's no place inside the lab," Corley acknowledges, laughing. "And… at some point you get thirsty. So that limits the number of hours people can be in the spacesuits."
As for the public's safety, a negative airflow system is constantly sucking air into the lab so if a hazardous airborne agent did get on the loose, Corley says it wouldn't be able to escape. As an added precaution, everything has a backup system — even the backup systems. "Whatever the requirements is, there's one extra for it," Corley says.
Menino's cost-benefit analysis
Still, there's no such thing as no-risk. Is the payoff worth it? Boston University says the labs could bring in tens of millions of dollars in research grants annually and create close to 680 new jobs, 300 of which will be high-paying research positions.
Menino likes the prospect.
"Just think about the lives we can save and the research we can find in this building and the talent this lab will bring to the state and city," he says.
But that may still be a ways in the future. While the facility has been granted permission to begin low-level research, a decision on the more hazardous diseases might not come until the end of February. If approval is granted, it will take at least another six months before the labs are open for that research.

Got to agree with Alan there.Jerome Bettis probably wasn't the best player to ever wear a Steelers' uniform, but he may have been the most honest, and his new autobiography doesn't pull any punches.
In "The Bus: My Life in and Out of a Helmet," written with Gene Wojciechowski, Bettis relates his career with the Steelers in blunt terms.
He is particularly frank when it comes to his former coach, Bill Cowher. Bettis writes that he and Cowher had disagreements over the years, and that he was especially miffed in 2003 when he wasn't give a fair chance at winning the starting halfback job that went to Amos Zereoue.
Bettis writes: "I showed up at camp thinking it was going to be an open competition, but in reality, the choice had already been made. ... When Coach made the decision, he said it was based on a gut feeling. A gut feeling? I had something to prove. But it's hard to prove something if you're not given a fair shake."
Bettis, however, writes that most disagreements were "few and far between. I didn't always agree with his decisions or methods, but I never doubted his ability as a coach or as a leader."
A representative for Octagon, an agency in McLean, Va., that represents Cowher, said the former Steelers coach had no comment on the book. Bettis did not return phone calls Tuesday seeking comment about his accusations.
In the book, Bettis does admit he pulled off his own version of the Statue of Liberty play prior to the 2000 season. In 1999, Bettis damaged the cartilage in his knee during the season. The knee was not close to 100 percent, but he played through the injury.
When training camp started in 2000, his knee ached. Because he feared he would be cut if he came into camp with an injury, he had to "figure out a way I could get off my feet, get some rest, and do it without losing my job."
During a short-yardage situation in training camp, Bettis took some contact and "bang, went down in a heap. I sort of yelled out, grabbed my knee, and waited for the training staff. Man, did I do a nice job of acting."
Bettis said he wasn't faking the injury, just faking when he got it. "Otherwise, the Steelers would have had their reason to cut me and my salary."
Bettis had the cartilage cleaned up and went on to rush for 1,341 yards and eight touchdowns in 2000.
Cornerback Deshea Townsend, who has been with the Steelers since 1998, doesn't remember Bettis being injured that camp, but he understands why Bettis would concoct such a ruse.
"You get to a certain point, it could go through the mind of a player. I could see that," Townsend said yesterday. "Everybody can be caught by the Grim Reaper. Nobody is invincible to him."
Bettis also is critical of the Steelers for their handling of former quarterback Kordell Stewart. Of Stewart's failures, he writes "Part of the blame has to go to Coach Cowher. I'm not sure he ever knew what to do with Kordell."
Steelers guard Alan Faneca thinks there is some merit to Bettis' thoughts concerning Stewart.
"Mismanaged? I definitely don't think they gave him (Stewart) the firepower," Faneca said yesterday. "They really didn't help him out a lot at the receiver position, I would definitely say that. We drafted Troy (Edwards in the first round in 1999), but that definitely didn't work out the best for everybody. I think it could be termed that way a little bit."
Bettis also writes about the "magic" age of 30, when the Steelers seem to begin phasing out players. Faneca believes there is some truth to Bettis' statement.
"I think it's definitely a regard for the organization that they keep youth and try not to get locked down on guys that are in their twilight years," Faneca said.
But Townsend thinks it's just a matter of the constant need all NFL teams have of bringing in younger talent.
"The older you get, they're going to try to find younger guys to step in and play," Townsend said. "I don't know if they phase you out; it's just how their system is. They always have younger guys under you ready to play.
Bettis also believes the 2002 season -- when the team finished 10-5-1, and lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Tennessee Titans -- could have turned out better had the team not emphasized the passing game.
He writes: "I'll go to my grave believing that our reliance on a passing attack rather than a consistent running game is what hurt us the most that season. When you can't run the ball ... you can't control the clock and the tempo of the game. You become one dimensional, predictable."
Neither Townsend nor Faneca had a chance to review the book yesterday. Faneca says he probably won't read it, but only because "I won't have to read it. It will be read to me" by media members seeking reaction.
"I will do my part to support Jerome and buy the book and read it," Townsend said.
"The Bus" (Doubleday, $23.95) also includes anecdotes from Bettis' childhood in Detroit and his career at Notre Dame. The book goes on sale Sept. 4.
Man, i've been reading alot about how the Steelers fair when they turn to the Passing Game.Every time we do it doesn't result in the Steelers coming out ahead. with all this talk about this up coming season and what Arians plans are, I wonder if we aren't just setting ourselves up for another let down.
Arians and His 3-TE sets was tried back when He coached with the Browns and You se what Happened there and now he's going to try it again here in Pittsburgh. What did he Say "Things don't change, History just sorta repeats itself."

Greg Zimmerman let me know about his Reading Pathways: David Foster Wallace, article over at Book Riot. If you're new to DFW I think it is well worth checking out.
That said, I think A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again should probably be read first...
Thanks, Greg!

Obesity & blame: Eroding personal responsibility
July 31. 2013 4:35PM
Two new scientific studies linked obesity to genes, according to news reports last week. Ah, but how much of a link?
"Thus far mutations in about eight genes are known to cause obesity in humans," Time magazine quoted Dr. Joseph Majzoub, chief of endocrinology at Boston Children's Hospital and the author of one of the studies, as saying. "But these mutations account for under five percent of the obesity in our society, and certainly are not, by themselves, responsible for the current obesity epidemic. ..."
In June the American Medical Association classified obesity as a disease. It did so over the objections of the Council on Science and Public Health, the AMA committee tasked with studying the issue. The AMA went with the classification anyway to focus more attention on obesity and encourage insurers to treat it. In short, it was a political decision, not a medical one.
Though some people have legitimate genetic, thyroid or other issues that can cause obesity, the combination of overeating and underexercising is not itself a disease. Typically, it is a bad decision. Medicalizing bad choices, or blaming them on soda makers and fast food restaurants, will not make us healthier. It will further erode the concepts of personal responsibility and accountability and ultimately encourage the blame-shifting that undermines all efforts to restore this nation's long-faded goal of universal self-reliance.

By Bryan Llenas, ,
Published January 10, 2017
The family of a former U.S. Marine is hoping he's still alive despite not having heard from him since he was kidnapped in Mexico.
The whereabouts of Armando Torres, 25, who served in Iraq in 2009 as a mechanic fixing military vehicles, are still unknown. The FBI and Mexican authorities are investigating the case and a fellow Marine continues lobbying for congressional help.
Torres' relatives told Fox News Latino in an exclusive interview that he was likely taken, along with his father and uncle, both Mexican citizens, by gang members or a drug cartel. They were kidnapped in La Barranca, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
FBI officials said Torres drove across the International Port of Entry Bridge at Progresso, Texas, to visit his father's ranch.
The FBI is investigating Torres's disappearance as a kidnapping and are working with local Mexican officials to find him, according to the FBI.
Armando Torres crossed the border to Mexico last week on Tuesday night to visit his father. His relatives, who spoke to Fox News Latino on condition of anonymity due to security concerns, said they were last seen being escorted out of the father's home by armed men. Family members describe seeing a white truck outside.
One of Torres' siblings said she received a call that night from cousins in Mexico who told her they had been kidnapped. But as dire as the situation sounds, it's sadly one that family already knows well.
"It's hard. It's really hard," said one of Torres' relatives. "We've had the same issue happen before. It happened 8 years ago with two of my father's brothers. Both of them were kidnapped, but they never came back," she said.
Since the kidnappings last week, the Torres family has received indication from Mexican officials and the FBI that the men may still be alive.
"Up and till Sunday their cell phones would be turned on in the mornings and turned off during the day," one relative said. The Torres family and authorities have not received any ransom calls.
A family member said yelling could be heard on a voicemail on the father's girlfriend's phone, indicating there may have been an altercation in the home over a land dispute between the armed men and the kidnapped victims.
Mexican officials have told the Torres family that they believe Armando was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The former Marine has no known criminal background.
The FBI office in San Antonio said there have been a total of 438 U.S. citizens kidnapped in Mexico after crossing from South Texas since 2003.
Marines Stand United
News of Armando's kidnapping has struck a cord with the tight-knit Marine community, especially with one who wrote to Congressman Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX), demanding that the government help bring his brother Armando Torres home.
"Congressman Hinojosa stands ready to assist in any way he can regarding this matter," his office said.
The Marine doing the lobbying, who also requested that his name be withheld, said he trained Torres for three years. Torres served in the marines for seven years from 2005 to 2011. He was in the color guard as a rifleman, assigned to attend funerals of fallen Marines. He also worked silent auctions for wounded warriors.
The kidnapping has particularly affected Olivia Hammar, the mother of former Marine Jon Hammar, who was arrested at the border and held for four months, tied to a bunk bed at a cartel run prison over a mishap over a hunting rifle.
"This is personal for me. I can actually say that I empathize with Armando's mother," Hammar told Fox News Latino.
She received countless emails and letters from Marine families who expressed outrage and empathy for her son Jon, and she believes Armando's situation is no different.
"These guys are almost clan-like. They do not call themselves a band of brothers for nothing," Hammar said. "I can not imagine that these cartels, whose sole purpose in life is protecting their drug routes, would want the ire of the US Marine Corp."
Mexican officials are also accustomed to hearing of U.S. citizens grabbed in their border towns. One said the worst thing relatives can do is keep it to themselves.
"If the family stays quiet they will not get released," Gerardo Acevedo, former president of the Matamoros Chamber of Commerce, told Fox News Latino. The issue hits home with him, given that he also had a relative who was kidnapped.
"This kind of situation is unjust, inhuman and it does damage to the reputation of my country," Acevedo said, pledging to help the family. "We will be raising hell about this situation."
