During the beginning months of the 2010 off-season, three major additions were made to the Chiefs coaching staff. Two were somewhat predictable and/or expected, while the third was a surprise. However, the early results from that surprising hire have been widely predictable.
The return of Pro Football Hall of Fame CB Emmitt Thomas to Kansas City just keeps generating buzz and his impact has been immediate. Even the newest of team members are completely aware of the presence that Thomas creates.
“I can ask him all types of questions; he is a Hall of Famer,” first round draft pick
This is the type of thing that head coach Todd Haley has to enjoy hearing. Really, these types of reactions are exactly why he invited Thomas to come home to lead a very important position group laden with young, up-and-coming talent.
“Coach Thomas is someone that, myself, growing up in the NFL and being around football most of my life, is somebody that I really always looked up to and had a great amount of respect for,” Haley said. “Once I got into the coaching side of the NFL, you heard about Coach Thomas.
“He’s a guy that won a Super Bowl here playing, he’s coached for two more rings with the Washington Redskins and has been playing or coaching in the NFL for 42 years,” Haley continued. “He’s in the Hall of Fame. He’s a guy that again, I’ve paid attention to. When I’ve seen him in a room or at the Combine or at the Senior Bowl or on the opposing sideline, I’ve always looked at him with a great deal of respect.”
The respect which Haley holds for Thomas hasn’t been lost on a locker room where the majority of its tenets were yet to have been born by the time Thomas retired from playing the game in 1979. His connection with today’s stars – generally more than half the age of Thomas – is an incredible accomplishment for the Chiefs legend. But then again, the stories of true legends are never lost on anyone.
“When his name came up, Scott (Pioli) has a close relationship with (General Manager) Thomas Dimitroff in Atlanta and I know everybody there had nothing but terrific things to say about Coach (Thomas) and with our situation in the secondary, the more we visited with him – Coach Crennel and I actually visited with him at length along with a number of other guys – and just agreed that this was the guy for us,” Haley explained.
The fact that Thomas came available this winter was the surprising aspect of things. Unlike Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis, who both had rumors of their possible arrival in Kansas City swirling for weeks, Thomas exited Atlanta and arrived in Kansas City relatively quiet. His availability and quick addition to the Chiefs coaching staff were both pleasant surprises.
When he was dominating opposing quarterbacks, Thomas did so in an entirely different era of football. All things considered, his 58 career interceptions were an astronomical amount considering how different the NFL’s passing game was at the time. To put Thomas’ numbers into perspective, he recorded more interceptions than some of the most respected corners of the 1990’s/2000’s in Deion Sanders and Darrell Green.
When comparing Thomas directly to some of the best cover corners in his era of the game, he owns more career interceptions than both Mel Blount and Mike Haynes. He’s respected across the board, spanning through multiple generations of players.
“He was talking to us (Friday) at dinner, telling us that he has the most interceptions in Kansas City history,” Berry explained. “He was talking about that and saying how much the game has changed. I think a lot of the guys can relate to him in the secondary because he is just that type of guy. He is always smiling and always trying to teach us something new.”
If the league’s 30th ranked defense is set to improve in 2009, the big plays yielded by the secondary will have to decrease. A major part of that solution is acquiring talent both on the field and in the film room to get the job done.
With players like

Varicose veins is a very insidious disease. This can years almost does not show itself, because in the early stages of man don't care, and lung diseases are written off to the living conditions, but not for problems with the veins. And then comes the deterioration of the disease progresses, and cure becomes much more difficult. While varicose veins can affect different parts of the body with veins. But the vast majority of women suffer from the legs, so the symptoms of varicose veins on the legs in women pay attention.
The mechanism of the occurrence of the disease
The main cause for varicose veins on the legs is the weakening of the vein walls and blood vessels, due to which they can no longer push blood with the optimum power.
The blood builds up and stretches the veins even more. Expanding, they lose their elasticity, become brittle and will eventually cease to provide normal blood flow. Due to the fact that blood is always in the veins, which swell, the form of knots and clots, plugging the lumen of vessels. This causes thrombophlebitis.
Not receiving enough oxygen, the skin cells begin to die off, develops a necrosis, occur trophic lesions and ulcers. This is called the final stage of varicose veins of the lower extremities and can be treated only by surgery.
Too late for the treatment of this disease, it is impossible, but likely to slow its flow and to achieve a more or less permanent remission.
Important! Doctors believe that the main cause of varicose veins of the lower extremities is a hereditary predisposition, therefore, if older generations of the family there were cases of the disease, should be particularly careful concern for the health of the blood vessels.
How not to miss the beginning of the disease?
It is very important to keep track of all ailments, however minor. If you are trapped 1. level of development, when the symptoms of varicose veins in the legs are just starting out, in most cases, it is possible to reverse the process and to maintain a healthy veins. So, the first signs of varicose veins on the legs is:
- the greater the swelling, which has become a concern not only in the evening, but at other times, a day;
- the feeling of weight and the syndrome of "tired legs", which appears in the middle of the day or even earlier;
- General weakness and lethargy which is a result of insufficient supply of tissues with oxygen;
- spider veins or spider veins in the legs and hips, often the first sign of varicose veins, to which pay attention.
In this case, if timely treatment to the doctor can help the most simple methods of treatment folk remedies, preparations for the prevention of varicose veins in the legs – medication in pills and capsules, ointments, creams and gels.
If necessary, treatment of varicose veins in the legs, your doctor may prescribe medications, blood thinners and prevent the formation of blood clots and wear special compression underwear or the use of an elastic bandage.
Important! Despite the fact that many drugs have little side effects and are prescribed, including for disease prevention, the decision about which of them should be, should be only the doctor, not the patient himself.
What is the danger of the disease?
First and foremost, varicose veins, reaching to the advanced stage, threatening blood clots, which can block the flow of blood and oxygen to the arteries and veins near the lungs and heart. Pulmonary embolism often leads to a sad result.
In addition, varicose veins can be hidden, which affect the vessels that are happening in the depth of the leg. Dangerous, as the fact that the outer signs start to appear, when the disease has already turned into 2 or even 3 stage, where no operation is required. A visit to the doctor is not to be deferred if:
- the leg began to swell, while the kidneys are perfectly healthy, the diabetes is not diagnosed, the fluid intake is normal.
- it seems nagging or sharp seconds of pain in the pelvis, in the groin and upper thigh;
- feet occasionally cramps, especially at night;
- areas on the lower limbs along the veins began to swell after each load.
Internal varicose veins on the legs can seriously complicate a person's life, brings its the pain and brings the situation before the surgery the surgeon.
Important! Varicose veins in pregnancy is common. Most women believe that this is temporary and will pass after birth, but in reality this is not always the case.
More often when this load feel the veins in the motherhood, the disease begins to progress. Therefore, the signs of varicose veins during pregnancy is not taken into account in any case not worth it.
May be affected by other parts of the body?
Symptoms of varicose veins can affect different organs. In particular, the varicose veins on the hands occurs much less frequently than the varicose veins of the lower extremities, but delivers the same worry and grief. Remarking on hands symptoms similar to the manifestation of this disease, you must immediately visit a doctor:
- the veins become very noticeable, darken and swell;
- on the hands, including the fingers, is a swelling;
- it is often the feeling of burning and pain;
- time to do the same action becomes problematic because of the heavy brush;
Varicose veins appear in hands of women and men with approximately the same frequency, but still the stronger sex the disease affects at least 1.5—2 times.
This is because of the fair half of mankind more subject to the fluctuations of the hormonal system, which is one of the main factors that cause varicose veins on the hands.
Important! The first signs of varicose veins of the upper and lower limbs are very similar, but they are varicose veins on the legs has symptoms that are sure to result from flat feet, take a long walk or wearing shoes with heels, osteoarthritis, and varicose veins arms is characterized by symptoms, a lot of accept for the physical feature of the structure of the veins.
Almost with the same frequency as varicose veins on the legs, found varicose veins of the rectum and prolapse.
Under this name hides a well-known, hemorrhoids. Those who are not lucky enough to get this disease, I can tell you just how frustrating it is obvious signs of varicose veins in such a delicate area:
- sudden attacks of severe pain while walking;
- a strong painful sensation, when sitting for the inability to sit;
- the emergence of blood from the cracks in the area of the anus and pronounced swelling, itching and burning;
- the act of defecation is also accompanied by pain, especially if combined with constipation, which often occur varicose veins in this area.
Symptoms internal varicose veins notice is not as hard as it is external, because the anus is not usually the case discomfort.
However, turning to the doctor is usually puts already varices 2 degrees. Heal is not as easy as the first stage of the disease, but it is possible and without the use of drastic measures.
If varicose veins on the arms and legs is more common in women, varicose veins and the rectum, affects more the male body. The main reasons for this are heavy exercise, serious, sport, alcohol and large amounts of junk food, and diseases of the prostate, that contribute to the narrowing of the urethra.
Important! Search first symptoms of varicose veins of the rectum, should as soon as possible to begin treatment, since the risk for the diseases of this region is that it can affect the gut and cause gastrointestinal tract.
The disease develops gradually, without sharp jumps, but it can lead to intestinal tumors, both benign and others.
If varicose veins on the legs in men is quite rare, varicocele is exclusively a male disease. It consists in this, that the varicose veins around spermatic cord and testicles becomes one of the causes of infertility male factor.
Venous flow in varicocele is filled with blood, which vessels are unable to move forward, in a small hollow or renal veins. In most cases, the problem occurs on the left testicle, as the region joins two veins: the renal and seminal.
Symptoms of varicose veins of the testicles do not manifest themselves until a few will not have problems with conception. Then both partners go to the doctors, the woman – the gynecologist, the man to his doctor. First and foremost, an experienced doctor can conduct a survey for varicocele.
Identify the disease with the help of ultrasound and Doppler and the use of probing of the veins between the voltage press the patient. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the man is required to perform semen analysis as spermatozoa, to determine how far the disease has disappeared.
Important! For the treatment of varicocele is only possible with surgical intervention, and this is usually to eliminate infertility in men.
In itself, this phenomenon is not dangerous and usually do not cause discomfort, but sometimes the veins swell so much that cause discomfort or pain. In this case too the operation.
Varicose veins causes a variety of factors, most of which can be corrected. And because this disease falls into the category of dangerous and often cause serious complications, which a person can become disabled, it is much easier to take timely preventive measures to prevent the development of the disease:
- to normalize the diet, the elimination of plenty of greasy, spicy, salty and fried food;
- to give up Smoking and alcohol;
- after consultation with the doctor to take venotonic drugs, the use of ointments, strengthening the blood vessels;
- do not spend a lot of time in the same posture, prolonged sitting is just as dangerous as the feet;
- dedicate sufficient time to the sport;
- control weight by preventing extra pounds, this is especially true for women in the period of carrying a baby and during breast-feeding;
- choose a comfortable shoes on low wide heel that is no pressure on the legs, and high heels to write for exceptional cases;
- every day, take a contrast shower, with special emphasis on the feet, hands and organs of the small pelvis;
- as little as possible to stay in hot places, hot saunas and baths;
- the hereditary factor is worth wearing compression stockings and pantyhose.
Search for the first signs of varicose veins, it is necessary to consult a doctor and work with him to present the plan of treatment.

Today’s devotional is by Danny Roberts
‘The First Noel’ is one of the oldest Christmas hymns we sing today, originally dating back to the 15th century. The author of the carol is unknown as songs at the time were simply recited in oral form, not written down. Regrettably, this means that the names of the creators of many wonderful old songs and hymns have unfortunately been lost to us.
Telling the story of the birth of Christ in song has been an important tradition, especially in the western church. Since congregational participation, including singing, was very limited in the medieval days of church, songs were developed outside the church. Undoubtedly, carols existed in oral forms long before being published in collections.
The first question is, “What does ‘Noel’ mean?” ‘Nowell’, the English transliteration, comes from the old French 'Nouel’ (or ‘Noël’ in modern French). The derivation of this word probably relates to the earlier Latin term 'natalis’ or ‘birth’. In Latin, 'Dies natalis’ means 'birthday’. Some suggest that 'Noel’ is also related to 'novellare’ or 'nouvelle’, meaning new or something to tell.
‘The First Noel’ first appeared in written form in a Methodist broadsheet in Cornwall! It originally had nine verses but today most hymn books have five. Though the angels appearance to the shepherds (Luke 2:1–20) is the subject of the first stanza, most of the carol focuses on the journey of the magi (Matthew 2:1–12), giving the carol an Epiphany focus.
The carol appears to cause some controversy amongst the classical music fraternity, with many prominent composers, musicians and hymnologists saying it is possibly the worst melody of any Christmas carol ever! According to hymnologists, the melody of the song would be more familiar in European songs, specifically French. When bards would have told stories through songs on the streets of France, they would have used the repetitive melody associated with this carol. This makes sense when you remember that Cornwall is very close to France, so they would share similar styles, and also gives further speculation that the carol may have been written by a French composer.
The repeated 'Noel’ has the character of spreading the good news - “born is the King of Israel.” A final stanza, occasionally used in hymn books, draws all humanity into the story (as Isreal was seen at that time as the centre of the Christian world) and extends the birth account to the story of salvation and Christ’s suffering. Though the use of “mankind” has probably limited its use in current hymnals, this stanza places the birth of Jesus into the fuller context of redemption. Regardless of the melody or the origin, one thing we can agree on is that the words make this carol one that focuses us on Jesus and the true reason of why He came to earth.
I hope you have a joyful, reflective, happy Christmas.
“Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.”

Specifications: length 10-1200mm, Width 10-800mm, thickness1-40mm.
The quartz plates are widely used in the fields including semiconductor, light sources, communication devices, laser instruments, optic instruments, lab instruments, electricity devices, metallurgy, medical and chemical instruments, building material, defense industry and so on.
- Q:How much are quartz worth?
- the association of the molecules. same undertaking with coal and diamonds. the two are created from organic carbon, yet they're arranged in a diverse way on the molecular point which makes the diamond fairly confusing and coal no longer so confusing.
- Q:Is the mineral quartz composed solely of silica?
- Quartz Facts
- Q:What were some ancient uses for white quartz?
- Hard to say because the quartz and granite used for countertops are not really those materials. To note granite has quartz in it. I would just go with marble, but true quartz is harder.
- Q:If you heard someone use a term like programming my quartz?
- You didn't finish the question, but let's assume that there is a 5.00g rock containing quartz and gold and its density is 3.00 g/cm³. Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³ Density of quartz = 2.65 g/cm³ Density of rock = 3.00 g/cm³ We can assume that the volumes are additive. The volume of the gold plus the volume of the quartz must equal the volume of the rock. D = m/V. Therefore, V = m/D. 5g / 3.00 g/cm³ = x g / 19.3 g/cm³ + (5-x) / 2.65 g/cm³ x = 0.676 The mass of gold in the rock is 0.676 grams.
- Q:What is the specific gravity of Quartz and how does it compare to that of Galena?
- Yeah if they like rose quartz. Makes a good conversation starter. You could even let them carry it for a while so you always have an excuse to talk to them again. :)
- Q:What are the advantages of quartz stone countertops and acrylics?
- Artificial stone in general, there are five categories of common plate. Crystal jade plate. Aluminum plate. Composite acrylic sheet. Pure acrylic plate. Quartz stone. Stone countertops Jiezhuang generally includes two kinds of artificial stone and natural stone, natural stone because of its heavy metal containing mineral radiation, the best application in open indoor or outdoor, for example the hotel lobby or bank plaza. Artificial stone is generally divided into man-made acrylic stone and artificial quartz stone, of course, there are some new stone, but basically a small group, each business name from different, but not good classification.
- Q:I have what I believe is Quartz, I was wondering if anyone knew anymore?
- feldspar is chemically reactive and breaks down and turns into clay. So the amount of clay in soils is related to the amount of feldspar and other silicate minerals. Quartz, silicon dioxide is very stable and will not change composition over millions of years.
- Q:What is the difference between artificial stone and stone mesa?
- The artificial stone surface easily and other chemical reactions, resulting in local color: colored plastic bags on the wet surface, and the surface color of the reaction will occur, resulting in the color attached to the table clean away the stains; not cleaned in time, will also leave clean out of the white mark.
- Q:can you get ur nose pierced with a quartz nose retainer?
- interesting, that it actually changes to a clear white, had never heard of this before. i personally noticed that sometimes my rose quartz becomes shinier than usual and i usually attribute it to my better luck in love life. i thk if it really changes colour, it should be becos of you since u are the one who is wearing it. anw i had heard before that u can place ur rose quartz crystal in saltwater every once in a while to cleanse it
- Q:What are the physical characteristics/properties of the mineral Quartz?
- Smoky Topaz

The authorities of Tajikistan closed access to several web sites
RIA-Novosti news agency reports indicate that the authorities of Tajikistan ordered access to some web sites closed because they "interfere with state policy".
Source in a Tajik Internet company says that the letter from the Agency for Communications of the Ministry of Communications received on October 5 suggested that users' access to several web sites was closed. Signed by Director Anvar Mamajanov, the letter stated that these web sites were interfering with the state policy of Tajikistan. Here is a quote from the letter, "Access to confidential information and propaganda of social, racial, ethnic, and religious hatred is provided by the Tajik segment of Internet... Information security requires that access to these web sites be closed."
The Ministry of Communications wouldn't comment. Its officials only say that "Internet providers have ten days to carry out the order." There are twelve Internet providers in Tajikistan nowadays.
Access to the "subversive" web sites was closed on the eve of the presidential election scheduled for November 6.
BBC broadcasts were banned in Tajikistan earlier this year.
Maruf Muhammedov of the private Internet company Istera told Die Deutsche Welle, "We received an official letter to the effect that in accordance with the Security Concept of the Republic of Tajikistan that determines the state policy in the sphere of information security we should close access to web sites charogiruz.ru, arianasform.com, fergananews.com, tajikistantimes.ru, and centrasia.org."//RIA-Novosti

Still playing with the Rusting Powder I bought from Crafty Notions – this time on metal shim.
All have been spritzed with white vinegar. I have tried water but it didn’t seem to work too well.
This is puff paint sponged lightly on to the metal.Moulding paste through a stencil on this one. The reason for the patchy look? The vinegar was lying on the top, it had really gone rusty enough but I poured the vinegar off on to the work surface then laid the moulding paste side face down in the puddle with the result that when I went back later and picked it up some of the rust had been rubbed off. Lesson learned. :) Puff paint again, this time through a Thermofax screen. This time I left the vinegar to work its magic for a while then I got the hot air tool out again and dried it off. And although the shim starts to change colour slightly with the heat the vinegar just takes it that bit further.These next two lots of samples are my favourites.
Spirit soluble paints were dripped on to the surface and tipped so they ran into each other. Rusting powder has been sprinkled on while the paint is still wet and I also sprinkled on some of the metal flakes, spritzed it with vinegar, then heated with the hot air tool. Definitely a mask or outdoor jobbie if you try this.Same paints for this one but this time I heated the paints until they were dry causing this effect.I then applied the Rusting Powder using Matt Medium and once again heated it before spritzing with vinegar and leaving to dry.I thought I may have to coat the surfaces to stop the different mediums used from rubbing off but this doesn’t seem to be necessary. Obviously the rust feels a little bit gritty and the metal flakes come off if you rub them too hard but other than that everything seems to stay put. Not sure what the effect will be if I do use a coating on the surface but may give it a go to see what happens

Keeping Agriculture Youthful and Sexy
Here's an excerpt from a recent Canadian Press Article:
Young farmers say agriculture must be seen as profitable and 'sexy' to thrive
The Canadian Press
January 19, 2009
CALGARY - It's no secret that it's a tough time to be a farmer.
The agricultural industry is dealing with volatile commodity prices, costly fertilizers and fuel, low wages for staff and consumers who want to spend less on food.
Yet young farmers say they're also facing a far more elusive problem - an outdated stereotype about what they do and an almost total lack of public knowledge about food production.
And they say to keep the number of Canadian farmers from shrinking even further, they need to work to turn the industry's image around.
"In trying to attract young people, we have to set a positive example and make it sexy," says Leona Dargis, 23, a member-at-large of the Canadian Young Farmers' Forum.

"(Farmers) are going to have fun, it can be profitable, there's definitely opportunities, but it takes creativity to make it work."

text: We wanted mini donks so bad for our little farm. I bought two miniature donkeys a few weeks ago, un ungelded Jack and Jenny in foal, but I've decided not to keep them. We were told they're friendly, make great pets, etc. They jack is not, and I don't think he would be even if he was gelded. The Jenny won't let me catch her, but I've found a home for her and get her baby to raise when she foals. So far, the Jack has stomped the dogs and chased them and almost killed one, (I know they don't like dogs, but didn't know they'd kill them). Now we can't let them run until we build a new fence if we keep them. Then I was petting him, and suddenly he stood up and jumped at me aggressively, then chase at me. I ran out of the gate since it was close by, but I didn't see a need for the aggression. My DH was feeding him a treat and he bit his thumb and tore it open by the nail bed. He turns his back to us if we get any wher near the Jenny like he's going to kick. He grabs the horses by the halter and kicks them. The previous owner said he was a gentle pet who didn't like dogs but was a hand raised baby. Either way I've ran an ad for him. I will tell whoever buys him that he need to be gelding and be alone or with horses. I will try again with a baby next year when we have new paddocks built, and hand raise it. I just can't take a chance on him hurting the dogs or grandkids. We'd never let the children in the pasture anyway but if they went to pet him and he bit them, I'd have to put him down. This is one of my biggest stressors right now.!

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a chemical compound that is found in the cannabis plant. There are multiple species of cannabis that naturally contain CBD. In the mid-1960s, scientists identified the first cannabinoid. Since then, scientists have gone on to identify more than 80 individual cannabinoids and continue to investigate them for their potential symptom-relieving and disease-fighting abilities.
Cannabis has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of medical issues such as pain, nausea, anxiety, and other mood irregularities. Two of the cannabinoids that are most widely recognized for their medicinal value are THC and CBD. They each have distinctly different effects within the body, and different potential uses for health and disease.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a chemical compound that delivers the “high” that occurs from ingesting marijuana. CBD, on the other hand, has no “high” associated with it. Instead, this compound has calming, anti-anxiety, and anti-psychotic effects. It is CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system that produces this result.
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a vast network of chemical compounds and receptors throughout the body. The primary function of the ECS is to regulate all the multitude of functions from inflammation and pain regulation, immune response, mood, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. The primary endocannabinoid receptor is the CB1 receptor, which is located the brain and throughout the nervous system. CB2 receptors are more common in the immune system. They influence inflammation, the immune system, and pain. When the endocannabinoid system is ignored, or out of homeostasis, many functions in the human body are impacted – such as energy level, sleep patterns, mood, and eating habits.
The human body produces certain cannabinoids on its own. The endocannabinoid system receptors also respond specifically to cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. When marijuana is consumed, compounds like THC and CBD travel through the bloodstream to the brain and activate the endocannabinoid system. In the brain, THC binds to CB1 receptors to produce many psychological effects. These effects include short-term memory impairments, heightened mood, increased hunger, and pain relief. CBD is non-psychoactive because it does not act on the same receptors as THC. Numerous studiessuggest that CBD acts to reduce the intoxicating effects of THC, such as memory impairment and paranoia.
Scientists have made a lot of progress in understanding how CBD produces its calming, pain-reducing, anti-inflammatory effects in the body—and there’s still more to learn. We know that CBD interacts with many different receptors, proteins, and other chemicals in the brain. These interactions create changes in the activity of neurotransmitters, hormones, and other cells throughout the brain and body. CBD also seems to influence the body to use more of its own cannabinoids, while encouraging neurogenesis (production of new brain cells). Through these interactions, CBD appears to be able to affect many of the body’s functions, from sleep-wake cycles and emotional regulation to inflammation, pain perception, and seizures.

Anthony Spero was the consigliere and two time acting boss of the Bonanno crime family of New York. He was born in 1929 and became involved with organized crime on the streets of Brooklyn in his early twenties. Early on his closest confidant was Bonanno underboss Carmine Galante who showed Spero the ways of the wiseguy. Spero “belonged” to Galante as a Bonanno street soldier which meant no other mobster could tell Spero what to do. He only took orders from Galante. For Spero, this provided him the fast track to wealth in the 1950’s and 60’s.
A low profile man like Galante, Spero had a hobby of breeding racing pigeons on the roof of an apartment building in Bensonhurst. According to people close to Spero he spent considerable amount of time on the roof tending to his pigeons and holding meetings with other Mafioso out of the prying eyes of the FBI. Although he spent most of his time in Brooklyn, Spero owned a home in Staten Island and was married with two daughters, Jill and Diana.
In 1958 Galante was facing significant jail time for conspiracy and drug related charges that forced him into hiding. Natale Evola took over the Bonanno’s as acting boss while he was away and Spero, being as close to Galante as he was assumed more of a role in day to day activities within the family, however there was no real promotion. On July 10, 1962 Galante was convicted and sentenced to twenty years in prison.
In 1968 Spero saw a real promotion to Bonanno Consigliere after Bill and Joe Bonanno were forced to retire after a botched attempt to take over the commission. Evola was still acting boss of the family but was in failing health. In 1973 Evola died of cancer and Phillip Rastelli was promoted by the commission to new acting boss with Spero still in the consigliere spot.
In 1974 Galante was released on parole after serving 12 of a 20 year sentence. He immediately took back control of the family from Rastelli who was serving time himself. Galante had close ties to the Sicilian mafia and promoted one of that crew to the consigliere position sending Spero to lead his own crew as caporegime. Spero was not insulted by the demotion as he was not yet ‘straightened out’ or an official member of the mafia, he was technically still a soldier of the family but due to his loyalty to Galante, and the Bonanno’s he was allowed more freedom. It didn’t hurt that Spero was widely known as an intelligent man capable of running the family either.
Spero wouldn’t have to wait long to become official. When the commission opened the books for new members Galante nominated Spero to the commission and they readily accepted. On June 14, 1977, Spero officially became a ‘made man’ of the Bonanno crime family. The ceremony was held in a Queens, New York bar. In attendance was Carmine Galante who gave the oath to Spero and other new inductees, Joseph Massino, Joseph Chilli Jr. and several other men.
July 12, 1979 Carmine Galante, one of his body guards Leonard Coppola, and restaurant owner/cousin Giuseppe Turano, were murdered while having lunch at Joe and Mary’s Italian-American Restaurant in Bushwick, Brooklyn. With the top spot open, Rastelli took over once again as boss of the Bonanno family and promoted Spero to consigliere in 1984. In 1987 with Rastelli in prison and his protégé Massino also in prison, Spero was promoted for the first time to acting boss of the Bonanno family. As boss of the Bonanno’s and a wise business man Spero was also very ruthless. In 1990 he ordered the murder of Louis Tuzzio, a Gambino associate who had botched a hit for the Bonanno family.
In 1991 Rastelli died of cancer at Booth Memorial Hospital in Queens. Spero was again placed as the acting boss of the Bonanno family until Massino was released from prison. He wasted no time cleaning up. In 1991, he ordered the murder of Vincent Bickelman, a burglar from Brooklyn who had broken into the home of Spero’s daughter Jill. Bickelman made off with jewelry and a fur coat that was later found in his apartment. Bickelman was found on September 15, 1991 with six bullet wounds to his body. He was allegedly murdered by Gambino associate Paul Gulino, a young mobster who ran the Bath Street Crew. Two years later Gulino broke a cardinal rule of the American Mafia; never touch a Caporegime. A couple weeks later Gulino’s parents found him shot to death in their kitchen. The hit was ordered by Anthony Spero, who was now going by the nickname “Old Man”.
On January 24, 1994, Spero was indicted on federal racketeering charges of extortion and murder. The indictment stated that Spero controlled a business that used extortion to place “Joker Poker” gambling machines in bars, social clubs, and other establishments around the city. Among the gambling charges Spero was also charged with the 1991 murder of Marc Goldberg, a rival in the illegal gambling business. In April 1995, Spero was acquitted of the Goldberg murder, but convicted of extortion. He was sentenced to two years in prison. In 1997, Spero was released from prison.
On May 30, 1999, Spero was indicted on federal racketeering charges that included loansharking and the Tuzzio, Bickelman and Gulino murders from the 1990s. He plead not guilty on all counts and was released on bail until trial. On April 5, 2001 Spero was convicted of the three murders and other racketeering charges. One year later he was sentenced to life in prison. By this time Spero was 73 years old and in poor health. His attorney requested Spero be remanded to a minimum security prison to serve out his time but the request was denied. He spent the next 6 years at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in Butner, North Carolina where he died on September 29, 2008 at the age of 79.

The hotel was under remodeling at the time, which they declined to mention at check in. When trying to do work in my room at any time during the business day it was extremely loud. Despite their statement that work would cease at 5 p.m. daily it would usually go beyond 6:30 P.M. When I asked to be moved to a lower floor to try and lower the noise level it took they two days to make it happen. The young lady at the front desk was borderline rude, and very unhelpful. Overall I cannot in good conscious recommend this hotel.

An amazing band. The Beatles of the 21st century. A band most people recognize by "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and "Nine in the Afternoon". Most of their publicity comes from those two songs, and people who only like those songs consider themselves fans, though they aren't real fans like those of us who know the names of ALL the other songs and like those too. Not only do we know the songs, we know the band. Brendon Boyd Urie
, George Ryan Ross III
, Jon Jacob Walker
, and Spencer James Smith V
are the four musically gifted members of this band, rapidly gaining popularity from their lates album.
REAL fans like A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, the band's first album, for such songs as, But It's Better if You Do, Lying is the Most Fun a Girl can have Without Taking her Clothes Off, Build God Then We'll Talk, and Camisado. These songs helped make up a great album.
The second album released by the band is Pretty. Odd. This is when the band changed their name from Panic! At the Disco, to Panic at the Disco, because they said they did not want to over-load their public with punctuation. This album is characterized by such songs as, Nine in the Afternoon, That Green Gentleman, Pas De Cheval, and I have Friends in Holy Spaces. This album is the latest one, though the real fans wait on bated breath for the next one.
Kid 1: Hey! Who is that AMAZINGLY AMAZING band playing?
Kid 2: What have you been living under a rock man!?!?!? It's the best band ever, Panic at the Disco!
Probably a fire. Because if I were at the disco and there were a fire I would most likely panic(!), though they say not to. Panicking at the disco usually leads to people getting trampled, so be careful.
Sally (breathless): Panic! at the Disco.
John (Aghast): Yeah, I saw you trample that old lady on the news.
An amazing Vegas band combining all the pop punkness with electronica.
An awesome elctronic-rock band that can really perform live from Las Vegas.
Kid 1: Panic! At the Disco is cool!
Kid 2: I know. Brendon really knows how to dance.
An indie-rock group from the US that debuted in 2005 with their album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. They often use rather long song titles (Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes; The Only difference betwwen martyrdom and suicide is press coverage; etc).
Panic at the disco is well-known across the globe.
An awesome 'scene' band that blends together (creatively, I might add) rock, techno, disco, and pop to make up catchy songs about life. Their random lyrics seem to pull together in every song. They use very big words in their dance-worthy songs.
Anna:"Dude, I can't wait to hang at the Panic! at the disco concert"
Stephanie:"I know, it's gonna be awesome!"
An amazing band from Las Veags who dabble in jazz and techno fused with their own brand of rock. Formed in 2004.
After Panic! At The Disco get on MTV, every teenie will want to have Ryan Ross' babies.
One of the best bands ever to exist. They have their own sound and style.

Person 2: Yeah. And I hear Pete Wentz was there...
Person 1: Lucky...

A facile method for the fabrication of organic coating with superhydrophobic surface on copper substrate is presented in this paper. Liquid-phase exfoliated fluorographene (FG) nanosheets, a low-surface-energy material with different sizes and shapes, are spatially stuck on the surface of epoxy resin coating to build rough surface with random micro/nano structure. The built coating system displays superior protection performances due to its self-cleaning function, mechanical abrasion resistance and chemical stability both in acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions. It not only provides a facile process for superhydrophobic modification of organic coating, but also introduces a new and effective strategy to protect materials by synergistically coupling the protection function of both superhydrophobic surface and organic coating, which can be used for large-scale manufacturing of superhydrophobic organic coating in industrial applications.

Tyler Gaffney is returning to Stanford to play football.
According to the official Stanford football website, Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Tyler Gaffney will be returning to Stanford to play football during his senior year and to complete his degree. Gaffney was drafted as a junior in the 24th round of the 2012 draft by the Pirates, and spent the 2012 season in State College. The outfielder hit for a .297/.483/.441 line in 111 at-bats, while drawing praise from his coaches for his all-out play on the field.
In the 2013 Prospect Guide, we had Gaffney as the number 43 prospect in the system. His upside looked to be a strong fourth outfielder, with the chance to be an unconventional starter if he could maintain strong on-base skills and gap power in the upper levels. He looked l...

More than 1,200 runners descended on Burnham Beeches to take part in the annual Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10k on Sunday.
The events, which began at 9.15am at Caldicott School, saw competitors run through the shaded Burnham Beeches woodland as well as a series of closed roads and trails before returning to the school.
Race director Tony Clish said: “Thanks to local residents for being understanding, we communicated with them through signage and we also did some Facebook ads so people would see the route and timings for closure.”
About 100 volunteers from Burnham Joggers and Wheelers Society (JAWS) and Burnham Beeches Rotary Club helped on the day acting as marshals, while JAWS manned the water stations around the course.
Runners were treated to a dip in the swimming pool at Caldicott School after the races, while physiotherapists were on hand to give massages before and after.
All race finishers received a shirt with the names of the first 1,000 entrants and a medal, celebrating the three events organised.
The half marathon was won by James Samson of Datchet Dashers in 1h14m15s, while David Lee, also of Datchet Dashers, took first place in the 10k 34m58s.
Trophies were also awarded to the male and female winners of both the half marathon and 10k and the winners of each age category in both events.
Mr Clish added: “We welcome runners from all across the South-east and its an honour to let people run through such a beautiful area.

Although HRQoL of CHB patients has been evaluated in several counties and regions [7–11], the current study from mainland China where has a high HBV prevalence and the largest CHB population in the world may provide important evidence for expanding the knowledge about the impact of CHB on health of people. The pair-matched healthy controls and the exclusion of patients with any other chronic diseases are distinguishing features of the current study, which can better control the influence of confounding factors and accurately characterize the impact of CHB. A generic instrument provides a global assessment and allows for comparisons with other health conditions, while a disease-specific instrument addresses some important HRQoL domains specifically associated with this disease. Both used together may also verify each other’s findings.
Our study found that CHB patients had significantly lower SF-36v2 scores than healthy controls on all summaries and domains regardless of whether with or without cirrhosis. These HRQoL impairments were clinically significant according to the suggested MID values . The similar results were reported by the study from Hong Kong in which the Chinese (Hong Kong) SF-36v2 was used and local general population norms were taken as controls . In this previous study, however, MCS scores in most patient subgroups were similar to that in local general population. The SF-36v2 MCS measures global mental health: a low score indicates frequent psychological distress and social and role disability due to emotional problems . It is inferred that compared with the CHB patients living in Hong Kong where has the similar HBV prevalence but markedly higher socioeconomic status and healthcare level, our CHB patients suffer more serious emotional problems and so more frequent psychological distress and more substantial social and role disability. Although the previous studies from other countries and regions reported impaired HRQoL in CHB patients with or without cirrhosis [7–11], almost all showed the impairment on some but not all dimensions [7–9, 11].
Our results from both the SF-36v2 and the CLDQ showed that HRQoL of CHB patients significantly deteriorated with development of cirrhosis, and that the impairment on physical components had a gradually increasing trend with disease progression. These findings were consistent with those in the Hong Kong and the Singapore studies [7, 8]. Our study did not find any significant differences in HRQoL impairment between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis patients. Small sample sizes in both groups might be an explication. More possibly, however, it suggested similar impairment between the two types of patients. The serious complications of ascites, variceal bleeding or hepatic encephalopathy may be relieved after successful treatment, and the patients classified as with decompensated cirrhosis according to their complication histories may have similar or moderately poorer physical health status than those with compensated cirrhosis in their daily life. In addition, adaptation and positive coping behaviors may lead to a positive response shift in patients’ psychological perceptions .
As expected, the SF-6D values also indicated significant health impairment in CHB patients regardless of whether with or without cirrhosis. The Hong Kong study reported the SF-6D values of 0.755, 0.745, 0.720 and 0.701 in CHB patients with uncomplicated disease, impaired liver function, hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis, respectively, and 0.787 in local general population . Our healthy controls had the same level of preference for their health status as Hong Kong general population, but our CHB patients lower than the CHB patients living in Hong Kong. In the only study touching upon mainland Chinese preferences for CHB-related health states , with the standard gamble method the preference values elicited from uninfected individuals for CHB and compensated cirrhosis were between 0.7 and 0.8, similar to the Hong Kong’s results but higher than ours. However, the preference values elicited from uninfected individuals for decompensated cirrhosis and elicited from CHB patients for all CHB-related states were from 2.5 to 0.6, obviously lower than the Hong Kong’s and our results. The disparities may be caused by differences in participants and preference evaluation methods [12, 13]. In addition, another difference should be noted. In the Hong Kong and our studies, the patients selected from outpatients or past discharged patients reported their perceptions based on their own health status in daily life, when some serious or typical symptoms may be relieved. In the study with the standard gamble method , however, the respondents reported their perceptions based on the pre-set health state-specific indications. For example, decompensated cirrhosis is indicated as “sometimes I vomit blood and have to go to the hospital for a blood transfusion and to have a tube placed in my stomach through my nose”. This might induce respondents to give their response to typical symptoms presented only at the onset stage usually with needs of in-hospital treatment. CHB is a chronic disease and the vast majority patients will live with it till death . The onset of typical symptoms is only an episode in the long disease history, though it may repeat. Therefore, the Hong Kong’s and our results should be more suitable for use in the cost-effectiveness evaluation of interventions with long-term or lifelong impacts. There was no significant difference in SF-6D value impairment between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis patients in our study. Whether it means the difference of preference between the two states is negligible in relevant cost-effectiveness evaluations, further studies are needed.
The stepwise regression analyses further confirmed the association of HRQoL and stages of CHB: more advanced stages with lower physical health. TBIL level may be considered as an important biomarker associated with physical health of CHB patients. The Hong Kong study also reported the association of higher TBIL levels with lower SF-36v2 PCS scores . Currently taken anti-viral treatment was found having a negative relationship with HRQoL of CHB patients, especially on mental dimensions. This could be due to side effects of treatment or the selection of the patients who were more ill or anxious for treatment . Previous studies on patients with hepatitis C also found that anti-viral treatment reduced HRQoL initially , but an improvement was observed after successful treatment . Education attainment and annual per capita household income were positively related to HRQoL of CHB patients. The two factors were rarely addressed in the previous studies. This finding is particularly significant in mainland China, where most CHB cases occur in rural areas with low socioeconomic status and poor education and the treatment places a heavy economic burden on patients and their families , which may hinder patients taking regular treatment and increase patients’ worry . It suggests that reducing treatment cost burden and providing health education might play certain roles in improving HRQoL of CHB patients in mainland China.
There were two major limitations in our study. The study was implemented only in an area that limited the generalizability of the results for whole mainland China. The small sample sizes in compensated and decompensated cirrhosis patients limited the power of the related results for drawing more exact conclusions.
