Part II of my story,"Najeh Davenport, Reloaded'....
k9cane
There is a certain irony in Najeh Davenport producing a football documentary( http://www.canesinsight.com/threads/77566-Najeh-Davenport-Reloaded-(part-I)-by-Steve-Kim) given that growing up, well, he wasn't really a fan of the sport. At least not as a spectator.
"This is going to sound weird because I love playing football, I really never cared for watching football, watching other people play football," he admitted to CanesInSight.com. "So when I was coming out I really didn't know too much about the University of Miami and I was in Miami. That's how I was, I like to play football, I didn't really care to watch any type of sport. But I'd play it all day long."
Davenport, who grew up in Dade County, attended Miami Central and it was apparent that he could play this game at a high level.
"My senior year my high school coach (Roger Coffey) told me,'If you keep doing this, you can write your ticket anywhere you want to go.' I really didn't know what that meant until I started taking trips to different high-profile colleges and stuff," said Davenport, who despite just playing in five games his last year at Central rushed for 1,098 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was named a Miami Herald All-Dade selection and chosen to play in the Florida-Georgia All-Star game.
Miami's main competition for his services was arch-rival Florida State, who was in the thick of their incredible run under Bobby Bowden. After the 1996 season, the Noles graduated the great Warrick Dunn and Rock Preston was kicked off the team. Davenport was one of their main targets. He recalls,"It was myself, Travis Minor and some dude named Davy Ford."
Randy Shannon, then the linebackers coach at UM was his main recruiter. But the Hurricanes trump card was head coach, Butch Davis, whose sales jobs are the stuff of recruiting lore.
Davenport stated,"Once you got done talking to coach Davis, you kinda believed in yourself. Like he made you feel, honestly to me, like the University of Miami couldn't win without me. When he left my house, I felt like the University of Miami could not win a game if they didn't have me. That's the type of person he was." And he would go to any length to woo a prospective recruit."Like even when I was interviewing (for the documentary) I got guys saying,'Yeah, coach Davis, he was the only white guy at an all-black basketball game. I fell down and hurt myself and he was on the court asking if I was alright.'
"Other guys saying coach Davis went above and beyond to show he wanted us, that he needed us. I remember coach Shannon called me and it was him and coach Davis and they were all on the speaker phone with two other coaches asking me about Santana Moss, what did I think about him because they wanted to get Santana here but they didn't have any more scholarships."
Moss, was eventually put on a track scholarship and became an integral part of the rebuilding process of the late 90's. It was these recruiting classes that began to turn the tide of the Miami program.
"Honestly, it was my class and we called them the '2G' and the 'Deuce 1', the '2G' class that came in 1996, that's your Edgerrin James, Bubba Franks, Nate Webster, Damione Lewis, Al Blades and you had your 'Deuce 1' class who came in '97 with myself, Ed Reed, Reggie Wayne, Santana, Kenny Kelly, Dan Morgan, those guys,"said Davenport, who explained that there was a bit of a culture clash within the program. "The older class guys with coach ( Dennis) Erickson, their mentality wasn't always about football, excuse my French, they had been fucked over: the scholarships, the probation, coach Erickson leaving and coach Davis coming in. Everybody had to learn over.
"But coach Davis gave those guys a fair chance, like he gave a FAIR chance to play but then the younger guys, our mentality was coming in was like the '2G' class was no-nonsense. We were all about football, all day, everything. It wasn't about going out, it wasn't about partying, trying to see how many chicks you could bang in the room. It was just straight football and we had people come in and it's funny, we have guys who came in and want to take on this college mentality and it wasn't about football. So these guys are partying and they can't make their 110's and we would fight. You would get jumped if you missed your 110's and you had guys that quit."
Davenport recalls one instance where the new sheriffs in town made it clear that there was a new standard.
"There was this guy one time, they were re-doing the field so we had to go to the intramural field by the dorm rooms and coach (Andreu) Swasey did his best to mark it off but we're supposed to run 110-yards and it felt like 130. We're supposed to be hitting it in like 14, 15 seconds, stuff like that. But they were all easy on the watch because they didn't really mark it off but this one cat he was on like 17 seconds and if you bend over you gotta do another one, you put your hands on your head, you got another one," said Davenport, laughing at the memory of what would happen to this poor guy."So it was hard, we had one guy, a little bit older than everybody - he quit. He came in like '94, '95, and he was like,'**** this, **** that' and the young guys - and this is my freshman year, Edgerrin's and Nate's sophomore year - we were warning him about making this 110.
"The guys in his class didn't say nothing because they didn't care. After we worked out, when we got back to the locker room, all of his stuff was in the middle of 'the U': his keys, his clothes, drawers, all his books, all of that stuff. So when he came in, soon as he went to the middle of 'the U', everybody jumped on him!! We had like 15 cats just like beating his ass."
Talk about tough love. 1997 was a disastrous year for the Hurricanes, who were right in the thick of NCAA probation and fell to 5-6 in Davis' third season at the helm. But from there the 'Canes began a steady climb back atop college football. In 1998 Miami went 9-3 and capped of the regular season by defeating the highly ranked UCLA Bruins in a 49-45 thriller at the Orange Bowl. As the third tailback behind James and James Jackson, Davenport rushed for 387 yards and six touchdowns while averaging an impressive seven yards a carry.
The 6'2, 235-pound Davenport was an impressive blend of size, power and speed and 1999 looked to be breakout campaign for him as James declared for the NFL draft. In the season opener versus Ohio State in the Kickoff Classic at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, Davenport was dominant in the late stages of that game, carrying the rock 13 times for 81 yards as he helped run out the clock as the Hurricanes protected a late lead. But on his last carry he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, which sidelined him for the rest of the season.
In many ways it altered his career.
"Listen, there's not a day that I don't think about that," he admitted. "And it's funny because we as running backs we talk a lot and our group was competitive. You slip up at one point, you're liable to get your job taken."
Davenport recalls one time when Jackson played a bit of game on him,"I don't want to say he tricked me but I fell for it, that competitive nature came out of me. James didn't practice all spring, so we had (Clinton) Portis and Jarrett Payton, so it was myself, Portis and Payton through all of training camp and all of two-a-days. They said he had a hamstring problem so he was trying to rest it up for the season. So I was going good all training camp, I was breaking runs, running away from people, running through people, everything I needed to do to be a starter.
"Coach Sol (Don Soldinger) said because James had a little seniority, whoever had the best spring game was going to be the starter. You couldn't tell me I wasn't going to be the starter because I was doing everything I needed to do for the last three weeks. James said, 'Let's go warm up, together.' I said, 'Alright'. I'm in competitive mode, so we get out there we start running and my ass is over there trying to keep up with James and we ran like a mile before the spring game and I had the worst day of practice. And that's how he got me."
As he returned in 2000, Davenport was moved to fullback. Not only was Jackson still around, but a precocious Portis broke the Miami record for most rushing yards by a freshman in Davenport's place in 1999. Then there was a talented young back by the name of Willis McGahee who came on campus. Once a young thoroughbred, he was now forced to be a workhorse. And he admitted, "It was really hard, it was one of those things where you sacrifice for the team because our fullback had went down with a concussion, Will McPartland, he was on his eighth concussion or something like that."
By 2001, there was this guy by the name of Frank Gore that was brought into the mix. Regardless, Davenport was still a valuable starter on what is considered one of the greatest teams in college football history. After that he embarked on a seven year career in the NFL that saw him play for the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and then the Indianapolis Colts before retiring after the 2008 season. Interestingly enough, when you ask him what his fondest memory of UM was (that he could tell us), it wasn't the championship season or any individual achievement.
"The day before we played UCLA( in 1998), we had just came back from Syracuse, everybody was mad. We just got our ass whooped 66-13 and that practice was just quiet, those practices leading up to the UCLA game and I remember the last day, the Thursday, it started raining and we had to go back in and then come back out, come back in and go back out we were leaving practice because we couldn't get **** done," he recalls."Coach Davis, took off running, so everyone's jogging behind him and have you ever been on a 'Slip N'Slide'? He did the 'Slip N'Slide' into the puddle. And all of a sudden, everybody started doing the 'Slip N'Slide with the big ol' puddles.
"So we got up and everybody was like cheering, laughing but prior to that, practices had been the quietest they had ever been because we had just got our ass-whooped. But after he did that, it kinda like broke the ice a little bit."

Interesting point that seems to relate to what we've gone through over the past 4-5 years with the sanctions and staff changes (HC, OCs, DCs, etc.). That stuff takes a toll on the players and as fans it's hard to see it or quantify it.

Maybe my favorite CIS story since we started this thing. Awesome stuff.
CTCANE
if he didn't tear his ACL against Ohio State he would have been just as good if not better than any running back that ever play at UM. He still had a great career at Miami. His worst moment and was brought up in the documentary was when he fumbled against FSU late in the 4th quarter in the 2000 game which led to FSU go ahead td which we overcame with the Dorsey to Shockey td pass.

Davenport was a bad man before that injury.Davenport and Gore were beastmode before Marshawn Lynch.

In part 1, Najeh said it was being released on Sept. 1st. So go here and scroll down on Monday.
http://www.theureloaded.com/
That version of Najeh we saw in that KOC before the injury, IMO is the difference between winning 9 games(IRRC correctly) and winning 11 or so that season. I think they get that last first down vs Penn St and don't lose to ECU the next week.
He was an absolute hoss before that injury
Awesome. I can only pray the current 'Canes get back to this level

The keep clear road marking.
A war of words erupted on social media over who was responsible for rallying the county council into action to install new road markings in Alnwick town centre.
The keep clear message was painted onto the highway by the dropped kerb beside Baileys of Alnwick, on Bondgate Within, last week, in a bid to improve pedestrian safety.
However, who should take credit became a source of debate on social media, with Labour and Conservative representatives having their say.
Following the work, James Matthewson, of Alnwick Labour Party, posted on Facebook: 'Really pleased that action has been taken after I wrote to Northumberland County Council specifically requesting keep clear signs to be painted at this dropped kerb.
But his post prompted a reply from Coun David Towns, Conservative ward member for Pegswood, who criticised Mr Matthewson for taking credit for 'somebody else's efforts'.
He flagged up an earlier Facebook post from Alnwick County Coun Robbie Moore, which praised the work.
Coun Towns also claimed that the keep-clear issue had been ignored by the former Labour administration.
Mr Matthewson said that he has long been campaigning about accessibility issues in Alnwick. He later told the Gazette that he had highlighted the need for the keep clear markings in a letter, which we published in November.
When approached for comment by the Gazette, Alnwick County Coun Gordon Castle branded Mr Matthewson's victory claims 'completely false' and said he had 'nothing to do with it'.


There are many rules and even laws that regulate fishing in the river Mörrum. Sometimes it can seem a little complicated, though they are in place for a good reason. We ensure that over fishing does not endanger the prospect of our children enjoying the same standard of fishing that we enjoy today.
The limitations regarding equipment and tackle are set in place by the Local Council and the National Sea and Water Authority. We as owners of the fishing rights have also adapted these laws to ensure that catches are kept at a realistic level, yet still allowing anglers to experience a great standard of fishing.
Our staff are engaged by the Local council and National Sea and Water authority to enforce these rules. Totally we have ten bailiffs that are trained and authorized to enforce these rules, ranging all the way from the northerly border to Småland, all the way out to the protected zones in Pukaviks bay. Further out at sea we have a shared responsibility for enforcement with the coastguards.
The bailiffs that work for us are very well versed in all the rules and their primary goal is to help you do the right thing. They are all very experienced anglers and will be glad to offers tips and hints.
We are very grateful for any observations you may make along the river that seem suspicious or unusual. If you do encounter anything odd then feel free to call our service line on +46 454 51280.
We always strive to make our rules as simple as is possible, often they are dictated by common sense.

Mod Lib The Riddle Of The Sands
Erskine Childers
While on a sailing trip in the Baltic Sea, two young adventurers-turned-spies uncover a secret German plot to invade England. Written by Childers—who served in the Royal Navy during World War I—as a wake-up call to the British government to attend to its North Sea defenses, THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS accomplished that task and has been considered a classic of espionage literature ever since, praised as much for its nautical action as for its suspenseful spycraft.
Pub date: 1 May 2003
Robert Esrkine Childers was born in 1870 to Anglo-Irish parents, and was raised in Ireland. He was educated at Haileybury and Trinity College, Cambridge, and from 1895 to 1910 was a clerk in the House of Commons. During his long holidays he spent time sailing the North Sea and the Channel in a tiny yacht, and explored the shoals of the German, Dutch and Danish coasts. He volunteered at the outbreak of the Boer War and afterwards wrote a personal record, In the Ranks of the C. I. V., which was the fifth volume of The Times History of the War in South Africa, as well as two other books exposing the antiquated uses of cavalry against modern armaments. He published his only novel, The Riddle of the Sands, in 1903. He married Mary (Molly) Alden Osgood, whom he had met on a visit to Boston, in 1904.
In 1910 he resigned his post at the House of Commons in order to be free to work for the Irish cause, and the following year published The Framework of Home Rule, advocating full dominion status for Ireland. During the First World War he did reconnaissance work in the Royal Naval Air Service, served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and then as an Intelligence Officer. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. After the war he settled in Ireland to work and write for its complete independence.
When the Free State was established he joined the Republican army, and, in 1922, was one of the many leaders who were arrested and shot by firing squads in the tragic civil war that followed. John Buchan later wrote of him 'no revolution ever produced a nobler or purer spirit'.

The money we routinely spend on food, clothes, gifts, and even indulgences is an untapped superpower. What would happen if we slowed down to make more thoughtful decisions about what we buy? For "mom and pop" stores across the country, and artisan and agricultural communities around the world, every purchase matters.
Consumers--whether individuals, small businesses, or corporations--are paying more attention than ever to how their goods are made; and retailers--large and small--are responding by investing in ethical and eco-friendly production. Yet figuring out which brands to support can feel overwhelming. Jane Mosbacher Morris has devoted her career to creating economic opportunities for vulnerable communities around the world, and in this valuable book, she shares her passion and insights on how we, as consumers, can create positive change too.
Covering topics that range from why not all factories are evil, to how our morning coffee can be the easiest way for us to use our purchasing power for good, Buy the Change You Want to See makes us better informed consumers. Morris tells inspiring stories about how victims of human trafficking and natural disasters have been empowered by economic opportunity, and she offers practical ideas about how we can support these communities through our purchases--whether it comes to jewelry made from recycled materials in Haiti, sustainably grown and ethically sourced coffee and chocolate from farmers in some of the poorest regions of the world, or mass-produced jeans and shoes made in factories where workers are guaranteed decent working conditions and a fair wage.

Brady Hoke, Defensive Line Coach Head Coach (San Diego State): SDSU finished 3rd in the Mountain West in tackles for loss and tied for 2nd in sacks. That was with Hoke as defensive line coach. Now…head coach Rocky Long is stepping down, and Hoke is being promoted to head coach of SDSU again.
Jay Hopson, Head Coach (Southern Mississippi): Hopson and Southern Mississippi fell to 7-6 after a 30-13 loss to Tulane in their bowl game.
Scot Loeffler, Head Coach (BGSU): Bowling Green went 3-9 this season. Loeffler finished his first year as head coach averaging 16 points while giving up 38.6 per game.
Curt Mallory, Head Coach (Indiana State): Indiana State finished at 5-7. He's 12-22 after three seasons in French Lick.
Jim McElwain, Head Coach (CMU): The Chippewas were 8-4 in the regular season but lost the MAC Championship game and their bowl game (48-11 to SDSU) to finish at 8-6. It was still a remarkable one-year turnaround from a 1-11 season in 2018 before McElwain took over.
Les Miles, Head Coach (Kansas): Miles's first season was mildly successful with wins over Boston College and Texas Tech and a close loss to Texas (50-48 on a last-second field goal) but went 3-9 overall. Kansas had also been 3-9 in 2018, but prior to that, they were 3-33 over the previous three seasons. Three wins in any given year is a solid year for them.
Rich Rodriguez, Offensive Coordinator (Ole Miss): In a nasty reminder of my fantasy teams, Ole Miss finished the season at 4-8 despite averaging 26.6 points and giving up an average of 26.5. When Lane Kiffin was hired as the new head coach at Ole Miss after the season, Rodriguez was not offered a contract. He's a "free agent" coach at the moment.
Nick Sheridan, Quarterbacks Coach Offensive Coordinator (Indiana): Sheridan is being promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator.
Tyrone Wheatley, Head Coach (Morgan State): Morgan State finished the season at 3-9. This was Wheatley's first season as a collegiate head coach.

Thunder, when you look at this list of players especially the transfers, how does their performance compared to what you would have expected when they were on Michigan's roster.? is there anyone who stood out to you as having a better career than you would have expected? Who are the players that you most wish would have stayed at Michigan?
Man, that's a big question/series of questions…
Generally, the guys who transfer are transferring for a reason, and that's because they're not special athletes. Most of these guys go elsewhere and are mediocre. The guy that I miss most is Devin Asiasi, and he's kind of a special case, because he transferred due to homesickness, not because he couldn't get on the field. He played quite a bit as a true freshman. The rest of these guys (for the most part) were stuck on the depth chart.
Nobody here was really surprisingly good, because…nobody here on the transfer list is very good, really, other than Asiasi. I guess the jury is still out on someone like Kekoa Crawford, J'Marick Woods, Benjamin St-Juste, and a couple other guys. Keith Washington went to WVU and had a decent career, which is about what I expected of him coming out of high school – good athlete, position-switcher who would need some time to develop, nothing dynamic or outstanding.
Here are the players I wish would have STAYED at Michigan (but, in some cases, only if they kept their heads on straight): Devin Asiasi, Brian Cole, Kekoa Crawford, O'Maury Samuels, Benjamin St-Juste.
As for the decommits, I think Michigan missed out on more. Ironically, the guy with the most success (AJ Dillon) is not a guy that I really miss. He is S-L-O-W and I don't think he would have had near as much success in the Big Ten. Sure, he would have been able to bowl over some of Michigan's lesser opponents (MTSU, Maryland), but would he have made a difference against Michigan's tougher opponents? No, Michigan doesn't beat OSU or PSU or Wisconsin or Alabama with A.J. Dillon in the backfield.
Roanman
I'd like to have St Juste going into next season. do you have the story on his transfer?
David Reese had a very nice career at LB for Florida. I think he would have helped us there.
I don't know too much on the St-Juste thing outside of putting the pieces together on his career arc. He got injured a couple times, and the coaches/doctors suggested he should take a medical scholarship. He wanted to keep playing, so he transferred.
GrandLake
Find it amazing that Ty Wheatley Jr recorded no stats at Morgan St. While there was talk as to whether he was better suited to OL DE or TE, he still looked like a very serviceable TE in his time at UM. Wonder if things would have gone differently if Ty Sr had stayed at UM or maybe he just doesn't like football.
There should be a iron man award for AJ Dillon. Trophy could be a titanium knee. Glad he is headed to NFL and not sticking around BC for another 3000+ carries, hopefully he catches on somewhere.
I have the same question as AC1997.
Asiasi (who apparently transferred for family reasons) would be nice to have on the team. Solomon, too, though he seems to be underachieving. Aside from those two, I can't say we *really* missed anyone.
Nice to see Reuben Jones have a good year at WVU.
What's up with the CMU guys?
Jones had an okay year at WVU, but he wouldn't have played at Michigan. He was one of those guys who looked way in over his head whenever he got a chance to play.
I've looked and looked for info on the CMU guys, but I haven't been able to find anything. My best (educated) guess: Hall got injured, and Irving-Bey got suspended. Hall was supposed to be the starter this year, and Irving-Bey had some off-the-field issues last year.
UM_1973
I always wonder how AJ Dillon's career would have turned out if he had gone to Michigan. He seemed to have carved a good career at BC but would he have been a better RB than the ones we had in the past 3 years? I remember we kind of dropped him at the last minute.
Lanknows
"In fairness, when it comes to some of those numbers, he achieved them in only 9 games due to injuries."
Only fair since this caveat was always given for Rashan Gary as well.
I hadn't heard Duke was where Woods ended up.
St Juste would have been a nice guy to hold onto but the push for medical seems to have back-fired. Maybe not – Michigan seems to be addressing the CB situation pretty well. Still seems like we're a guy short every year against OSU.
I liked Gray more than Charbonnet. Will be interesting to see how their careers play out. Both good looking backs IMO.

A good resume database experience can be like a perfect blind date. A job seeker and a recruiter meet for the first time, get to know each other and sparks can fly. One things lead to another and the candidate secures a new job and the recruiter earns commission. It's a great outcome when it all goes to plan!
There are many resume databases available online. They include both niche, industry specific databases and generic databases.
Employers and agencies can search these databases and select to either contact you or download your resume via the database provider. The employers and agencies usually pay a fee for a certain number of contacts or resumes to download.
Uploading your resume and / or registering with these databases, like LinkedIn, is an excellent way of getting employers to consider you for more roles. It may also increase your chances of getting more job interviews.
This is a passive way of conducting your job search. It is just one thing you can try and should complement more pro-active tactics as part of a targeted job search campaign.
Have you registered with a few resume databases and not heard anything back? Don't be surprised.
Most of these sites promote the number of registered people to their advertisers, employers and agencies. It is not uncommon for niche sites to have tens of thousands of resumes. Large generic sites can have hundreds of thousands, if not over a million, CVs from which employers can choose from. This hopefully gives you an idea of the low odds of an employer selecting yours.
Some sites will offer you the option of using a resume builder or application form as part of the service. If you have the option, it's better to upload a file of your original resume. The formatting of online resume builders and anything generated through an application form template is likely to leave a lot to be desired.
When registering with an online resume database be sure to take your time during the application process. Most of the resume databases will enable you to change your privacy settings.
Think carefully about who you want to have access to your details. Do you want to be contacted first before your details are released, or are you happy for anyone who requests your details to be able to download them straight away?
Many of the larger sites will provide you with the option of removing identifiers. This is a good idea if you don't want your current employer to find out that you are looking to change roles! Job seekers often tell us that they only realised their profile was public when it was too late.
Check your resume is recorded under the right categories. This will increase your chances of being found. Include specific keywords so your resume or profile matches those that a potential employer will be searching for.
Many resume databases give employers and recruiters the option to order their search according to the date job seekers joined and/or the date their profile was most recently edited. Ensure your profile appears in their search and conveys that you are actively looking by editing your profile on a regular basis.
Be organised when you register with multiple providers. Keep track of where your details are available. A simple job search spreadsheet will help you to monitor which boards your resume is on, in which categories, when it was posted and when it was last edited.
For the duration of your job search keep updating, altering or deleting records. This will also help you keep track of which roles you applied for and which employers and agencies you registered with.
When an agency finds your profile and wants to put you forward for a role, use your Glide Outplacement Application Log to see if you have already applied directly to the employer or via a different agency. If you think you applied via another agency, find out if they actually did put you forward for the position. If they did, don't let the other agency put your forward for the same role.
So an employer asks to see your profile – what do you do next?
Try to open a dialogue with them. Finding out more about the role may give you the chance to tailor your resume specifically for that position. But if you don't get this opportunity, remember the profile or resume they see is one that hasn't been customised to their specific requirements so adjust your expectations accordingly.
Just like the dating scene, if you don't play you won't win. So increase your chances of finding a perfect match by exposing your potential to as many employers as possible. Post your resume to one or more of the sites below as part of your job search.
Do you still need a resume to find a job?


Patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis may improve their pain, stiffness and physical function with sustained physical exercise, manual therapy or both, according to new research findings presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting in Boston. Osteoarthritis, or OA, is the most common joint disease affecting middle-age and older people. It is characterized by progressive damage to the joint cartilage - the cushioning material at the end of long bones - and causes changes in the structures around the joint. These changes can include fluid accumulation, bony overgrowth, and loosening and weakness of muscles and tendons, all of which may limit movement and cause pain and swelling. Existing evidence supports the effectiveness of exercise and manual therapy for easing hip and knee OA symptoms and improving physical function. However, no data existed to compare the addition of these treatment approaches to usual medical care for OA or for the long-term efficacy of this holistic approach. Researchers in New Zealand studied 206 OA patients for two years to measure the efficacy of adding regular physical exercise, manual therapy, or a combination of both therapies to standard care, versus continuing usual medical care for OA alone. "The aim of this study was to establish whether providing a comprehensive program of exercise or manual therapy results in significant additional benefits, over and above usual medical care," said J. Haxby Abbott, DPT, PhD, FNZCP at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, and a lead author on the study.
The participants' progress was measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) OA index, which calculates scores on a scale of 0-240. Lower WOMAC scores indicate improvements in pain, stiffness and physical function. Participants were also given several physical performance tests -Timed up-and-go, 40-meter fast-paced walk and a 30-second sit-to-stand. At baseline, the mean age of the OA patients in the study was 66 years with a mean WOMAC score of 100.8. After two years, all the participants who engaged in either regular exercise, manual therapy or a combination of both showed improved WOMAC scores that were superior to those who had only the usual medical care for OA. Participants receiving exercise therapy in addition to their usual care showed improvement of 31.7 WOMAC points compared to usual care alone. Participants receiving manual therapy in addition to their usual care showed a relative improvement of 30.1 WOMAC points. While the difference in WOMAC improvement for participants receiving combined exercise therapy and manual therapy in addition to usual care did not meet the a priori threshold for clinical significance (28 points), there was a trend towards benefit, with this group improving 26.2 WOMAC points more than usual care only. Those participants in the exercise therapy group showed greater mean changes on most physical performance tests than anyone in the other groups. Adding either exercise therapy or manual therapy to usual medical care is beneficial for people with hip and knee OA, the study's authors concluded. "This study showed that benefits imparted by a comprehensive program of exercise therapy or manual therapy, provided by Physical Therapists, remain significant to at least two years follow-up," said Dr. Abbott.

Celebrate the Healing Force of Jazz Tomorrow
H. Steven Moffic, MD
Series|Psychiatric Views on the Daily News
Take the time to listen to some jazz music.
SergeyNivens/AdobeStock
At the upcoming annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association next month, as part of a brief presentation on the history of racism, I will be discussing how jazz historically has been an antiracism model in America. And, if that is not enough for its social psychiatric value, jazz can also be a positive force internationally, which is why 10 years ago, UNESCO declared April 30th to be "International Jazz Day."
Historically, jazz was a foreign public relations tool for America during the Cold War. Willis Conover, the host of the Voice of America's Jazz Hour, which was broadcast overseas, said he was introducing the world to "the vitality of this country at its best." When he went to visit Communist countries, he was mobbed by jazz fans.
If your knowledge of jazz is minimal, it is a unique musical form started early in the last century by Black American musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. It is based on both structure and improvisation, just like how everyday life goes. As a model for our democratic process, it was a pioneering place for live integration of Black and white Americans, and by now a place for integration of all people around the world.
Just as life can be hard and complex, so can jazz. Though there is jazz music that is easy to listen to, sometimes called smooth jazz; it can otherwise be challenging, especially so in what is called "free jazz," thereby often requiring an ongoing learning process, again like life.
The goal of International Jazz Day is to raise awareness of the virtues of jazz as a force for freedom, peace, inclusivity, dialogue, and cooperation. It does so in many ways, including:
-Jazz encourages artistic innovation.
-Jazz connects the past with the present.
-Jazz stimulates intercultural dialogue.
-Jazz has come to foster gender equality.
-Jazz is a vector of freedom of expression.
-Jazz played a critical role in ending apartheid in South Africa.
-Jazz was banned in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Many times, jazz has been called "The Healing Force of the Universe." Maybe it is. It has been for me.
So try to hear some jazz this weekend but, if not, practice its principles.

Key Races & Bets for Saturday, May 4, 2019
Jacques Cartier Stakes - Race 8 at Woodbine - Post Time 4:40 PM Eastern Extravagant Kid missed by three-quarters of a length in last year's edition of this race, to Pink Lloyd, who also returns, but Extravagant Kid has a race this year and Pink Lloyd does not and that may be how the former turns the tables on the latter. Extravagant Kid won a sprint stakes on dirt at Tampa in March when last year he was returning from 13 months off. Contreras rode him last year in this race, not before or since, and with a good post to stalk the likely dueling leaders Yorkton and Wyatt's Town and opening at 6/1, Extravagant Kid gets top billing. Ikerrin Road finished a well-beaten sixth in this race last year but won his last two start of the year including the Grade 2 Kennedy Road Stakes over…
Key Races & Bets for Saturday, April 27, 2019
Race 7 at Woodbine - Post Time 4:23 PM Eastern Town Classic, a very consistent gelding with 11 first or second place finishes in 21 races on dirt or all-weather, opens at 12/1 odds which are impossible to ignore and so the horse becomes the key to profit in this excellent betting race. First or second in his last four races at Hawthorne and Mahoning Valley, to most of the public it's an unknown how he'll take to the Tapeta all-weather surface but looking at his lifetime PPs I believe it won't be an issue, something trainer Santangelo (who wins nearly 25% of his races on all-weather) likely noticed when deciding to ship him to Woodbine from Ohio. Town Classic broke his maiden and finished second at the NW1X allowance condition at Woodbine in 2016, with the runner-up effort coming at this seven furlong trip, so the return to…
Troubled Trips & Value
Most of us watch a lot of races over the course of a week. The normal tendency when watching races or even replays is to watch either the horse you bet on or the leader. We also tend to watch a horse making a move or one the track announcer brings to our attention. When looking for troubled trips, you have to train yourself to watch all the horses in the race and see things that might not be the focal point of most other spectators. Sure the running lines will identify some troubled trips for you, but those are the ones everyone will know about. To gain an advantage or edge it helps to see some that are "for your eyes only." There are many different types of troubled trips. Some result from bad racing luck, post position, poor rider decisions, pace, and all sorts of other intangibles. Sometimes…
Race 8 at Gulfstream Park - Post Time 4:28 PM Eastern Although the championship meeting at Gulfstream is behind us and although this isn't a stakes race, the eighth race at Gulfstream is a KEY RACE because I've been waiting for Rose Velvet to return to the races since her last start in July, 2018. The mare was purchased privately by Team Valor prior to her U.S. debut in March, 2018, following two races in Italy which were both very good as the first was a runner-up effort in a field of 13, followed by a win by four lengths against males in a field of seven. She took a while to get acclimated to U.S. racing and was off for 14 months but her U.S. debut effort was rock solid when fourth in a blanket finish at this first allowance condition, well regarded at 5 to 1 odds. She…

Derby Day Value: The Kill Shot
Now that the Derby points races are complete and we know the likely runners, I start thinking about all the betting opportunities there will be the first Saturday in May. There is always value to be had on Kentucky Derby Day. Always. Regardless of who wins, and at what price, if you go after the right spots there will be value. This year it looks like we will have a favorite at maybe 3-1 or 7-2. I would think final odds will fall somewhere around there, but if it were as high as 5-1 I would not be surprised. This year value should be especially easy to find. You just have to be right because there is never any value in a losing wager. Far too many people will tie up the bulk of their bankroll in pick 4's and pick 5's. Those bets are fun and offer great value…
A Win is a Win
In these times of most wagering being done off track through ADW's and simulcasting, we miss a lot of the true day to day racetrack experiences. As someone who went to the track literally every racing day for decades, I can say confidently it was a world within itself with a full cast of Damon Runyon characters, and all the stories and tales that go with them. Those experiences are hard to explain or share with the new generation of players, even those who frequent the tracks on weekends. Sure, you still have a die-hard few every day regulars, but through attrition and poor management, they are fading away fast and not being replaced. Playing the races is one of the few experiences where winning can feel like losing. Have you ever singled a horse in a multi-race wager and have it win at a price but you were already…
Important Note: There is an all stakes Pick 4 at Keeneland on Saturday which starts in Race 7, the Grade 3 Ben Ali Stakes. Because that race is my free race on the Keeneland web site, there's no reason to duplicate it here. You can get it by clicking anywhere on this link. You can play the double from the win contenders in race 7 to the win contenders in race 8 below, as well as a pick 3 linking the win contenders in races 7, 8 and 9. Giant's Causeway Stakes - Race 8 at Keeneland - Post Time 4:57 PM Eastern Excessivespending is one of four win contenders I feel will take advantage of what could be a very hot early pace scenario as Seeknthegiantpearl, Student Body, Luvin Bullies and Morticia all have getting to the lead from the start at any cost on their minds. Excessivespending won…
Key Races & Bets for Saturday, April 6
Shakertown Stakes – Race 7 at Keeneland - Post Time 4:35 PM Eastern Imprimis, as well as the other four listed contenders, will benefit immensely from a very hot and contested early pace duel. This is because Richard's Boy, Shakhimat, Bay Muzik, Conquest Tsunami and Latent Revenge are ALL horses that win only if they have the lead in the early stages. It's only going to take three of the five to go out and tear through the opening quarter and half-mile and set up the horses with a good finishing kick. Imprimis is a lightly raced five year old with a six-for-eight record, all on turf, with ALL six of the wins coming at five or five and one-half furlongs. His last effort, on 3/9, which followed six months off, was his best ever, with a 114 Equibase figure which is just shy of the 117 figure last year's…
The Derby Horse
On Saturday the Wood Memorial, Blue Grass, and Santa Anita Derby will be run. Kentucky Derby points will be had, and there will be a more focused picture of who the favorite will be on the first Saturday in May. We will still have the Arkansas Derby and Lexington to go, but we should have a good idea where most of the contenders are at. Many have already zoned in on a horse or two they like in the Run for the Roses. Some may have even made an advance wager or two. While I do have three horses on my radar, Tacitus, Code of Honor, and Bourbon War, I have many more on my pretender list. I have some things I like to see, and that I look for when scouting a Derby horse. First I like a horse that has shown raw ability. I like to have seen…

Sweetness & Fight: FUBAR leader Randy Tessier steps out on his own with "Sugar Town"
Area music fans know Randy Tessier first and foremost as the front man for the popular local band FUBAR, but he also works as a solo artist. Five years back he released a solo album called Hold Me Close, and now he's following that up with a new six-song EP called Sugar Town.
The EP showcases Tessier's love for a variety of musical styles, yet all feature his trademark gravelly vocals and guitar. "It's Too Late" is a new take on old-school soul, complete with a horn section. "He Lifts Me Up" is bluesy rock, while the title song is catchy acoustic pop.
Personnel varies from track to track, but primary contributors to the record include Chris Benjey, keyboards, producer; Geoff Michael, drum programming, engineer, and producer; Kim French, bass; and Don Kuhli, drums and woodblocks.


Cyclone rated up to C4 T5 and can be used in all Australian regions for sizes up to 1500mm wide.
Protects windows from flying debris, and insulates from the extreme heat making air conditioning far more effective.
Excellent for blocking out light and beneficial to shift workers who sleep during the day.
Choice of colours, and manual or motorised operation with remote control option.

Winter, Year 6
Eve is 50, Jason is 21, Cadmium is 20, Indigo is 16, Tara is 15 and Rose is 11
Caddy closed her eyes as another wave of nausea hit her. She'd just come back from the hospital with the results of her ultrasound. To her astonishment, she was having twins; two boys. She still hadn't come to terms with even being pregnant yet, only to discover she was preparing for not just one baby but two.
She knew she was lucky that Jason was being so supportive. Lots of men in his situation would have run for the hills so she appreciated the fact that he was one of the good guys. However, it didn't alter the fact that her dreams of becoming a vet were rapidly disappearing.
Her parents weren't much help either. Her mother was too dreamy most of the time and her father was increasingly absent. Although lately, her mother had seemed very tense.
The atmosphere at home had definitely been frosty. Indigo had, as usual, found himself doing more and more around the house as his parents did less and less. He'd been helping Rose settle in her new school and, between him and Jason, the housework was finally beginning to ease after Saffron had gone away to University.
The source of all the tension in the house wasn't Caddy and her pregnancy; it was Indigo's relationship with Tara De Luca.
The young couple had only been together for three months and Indigo had been surprised when his family had raised so many objections. It had all blown up after their first date and Indigo had ended up in a row with Bill. He'd grown tired of watching Caddy get away with being irresponsible when he was always expected to be the sensible one. He'd grown increasingly tired of it.
Finally, he had something good going for him in his life and both his parents had been giving him grief for it.
With Eve spending more time painting in the shed, Indigo had taken to inviting Tara over after school to hang out and the two were often larking around on the sofa. He couldn't understand why his parents didn't like Tara; she was lively and fun and they always had a laugh together. She was the first person who could make him laugh on his worst days. There was something special there – something he couldn't put his finger on.
Typically, Eve walked into the room just as Indigo had pulled Tara close to kiss her. She was furious; she didn't want that girl anywhere near Indigo and here she was, brazenly sitting with her son in her lounge.
"What do you think you're doing?" Even shrieked. The teens jumped at the sound of her voice. "Get out!"
Startled, Indigo whispered goodbyes to Tara, who hastily left the room. Taking a deep breath, Indigo prepared for yet another battle.
"What's your problem with Tara?" Indigo started as he sat at the table with Eve. "You're always having a go, every time she visits. And every time I go out with her."
"You're far too young to be considering a serious relationship. You have responsibilities at home!"
"So does Caddy but that doesn't worry her," Indigo snapped back.
"She's pregnant. Leave her alone." Eve warned but Indigo was already shaking his head.
"And how do you think she got like that? She's too much like you, that's the problem."
"Indigo!" Eve winced slightly at the weight of her eldest son's words. "Don't you dare speak to me like that!"
"You talk to me however you like. It's one rule for Caddy and one for the rest. Even Rose gets away with more than I do! She doesn't lift a finger either; it's always me and Jason doing all the work around here, now that Saffy's gone. You don't bother, Caddy and Rose don't bother and Dad's never home. That's all you're worried about," Indigo said, suddenly realising his mother's problem. "You're worried you might actually have to do some housework for a change."
Jason wondered into the room when he heard shouting. "Is everything okay?"
"Just fine." Eve gave Indigo a look and stood up. "Indigo and I are just having a small difference of opinion over that…girl he's been spending time with." She turned and left the room, heading back towards the tiny shed at the bottom of the garden.
Jason sat down in Eve's vacated seat. "Tara?"
Indigo nodded. "They give me so much grief over Tara. She hasn't done anything to hurt them."
"I know." Jason sighed. "I think your parents are more upset over this pregnancy than they realised, truthfully."
"So…it's not about me and Tara?" Indigo asked, feeling confused.
"I think the situation with you and Tara has made them realise that you are technically running this household. With Saffron gone, you're doing the bulk of the housework. You've already taught me how to cook and do laundry," Jason said, laughing. "I think it might have just dawned on them that Caddy and I having twins is going to put a big strain on the family. They might have also realised that in a couple of years, you'll also be gone and who will that leave to do the cooking and cleaning?"
"So that's my fault?"
"No, it's not. Just a bad time, really. It might have also made your parents realise that their relationship isn't as perfect as they probably once thought. That's partly why they're both running away from it all." He patted Indigo's hand. "Look, I'll try and get Caddy to talk to your Mum later. Try not to worry or take it too personally."
Indigo appreciated Jason's chat and he did feel a little better, although not enough to really make a difference.
His mood lifted the minute he found Tara sitting in his bedroom. "I wasn't expecting you here," he said, sitting next to her on the bed.
"I know." She smiled. "Jason suggested I wait up here. I was getting ready to leave but he said you might need me after your Mum finished yelling at you." She bit her lip. "I'm sorry for the trouble I'm causing you though."
"You're not," Indigo said, taking her hands in his. "Mum's problem is just that; Mum's problem. Not yours."
"I hate the thought of you getting intro trouble because of me, Indy," she said, sadly.
Instead of answering, Indigo pulled her close. "Don't say anything else," he said. "I love you, Tara."
Before she had the chance to reply, he kissed her.

I cant give more information about scriptures describe each Loka. But hope his might help you a little bit.
भू meaning भूलोक, र्भुवः meaning भुवलोक and स्वः meaning स्वर्गलोक.
And about how it is decided which person goes to which Loka after death is totally depended on the karma done by a individual person.
I hope this might help a little bit.

The Dead God is a deity who wreaks destruction on the living. It commands legions of followers, who subscribe to the Dead God's "poisonous nihilosophy". Armies march in the name of the Dead God, invading and conquering lands. The Dead God wields a wand.
The Dead God sends out the Dirge, a baleful sound that incites the dead, consumes the living and converts them to his service. One such convert was Undying, his foremost herald, tasked with rallying the dead across the world against the living. The turned undead are so numerous that the armies of the Dead God can be recognized by their armors of their former nations.
The armies of the Dead God went forth to Turstarkuri, raising the dead of previous invaders and laying waste to the lowland kingdoms. There, they proceeded to the mountain monastery, where the Monks of Turstarkuri resided in meditation. The monks believed the invaders to be mere illusions, and were slain on the spot. Only a young acolyte, the future Anti-Mage, managed to escape. The slain monks rose as undead, and joined the Dead God's priesthood.
Long ago, a scion of the Dead God led an army of dead, but was betrayed by her minions, who sought to return to their slumber. One undead champion in her army wore the Searing Dominator.
The Dead God is opposed by the Cathedral of Rumusque, whose clerics seek to purge the land of its corruption. Hundreds of years ago, the Rumusque priestess Crella sought to bind the Dead God's lieutenants in the Chains of Abscession. But her chains were eventually corrupted by The Dirge, and fell under the Dead God's command, destroying Crella's homeland. The Chains were later discovered and acquired by Pudge, which the Dead God regards as theft. He demands the Chains be returned, but Pudge refuses to oblige.
The Fields of Endless Carnage, once corrupted by the Dead God, was recently cleansed by the Rumusque clerics following a pilgrimage there.
↑ 1.0 1.1 Anti-Mage biography.

Q&A: S African group calls for Obama's arrest
US president might not be received in South Africa with the aplomb he enjoys elsewhere on the continent.
Obama is in the middle of a three-country Africa tour which, in South Africa, will focus on trade relations [Reuters]
By Safeeyah Kharsany
Doha, Qatar – US President Barack Obama on Friday heads to the southernmost shores of Africa on the second leg of his three-country visit to the continent.
While America's first black president has family roots in Kenya where he is adored by many, in South Africa his visit is not being received with overwhelming enthusiasm.
The country's largest trade union grouping, the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), which is in alliance with the governing African National Congress, has called on its members to join workers and citizens across the globe to "actively participate" in protests against Obama's visit.
Cosatu cites Obama's "horrifying record of US foreign policy in the world", highlighting, the "militarisation of international relations for the multinational companies and their profit-seeking classes in the US".
It is also opposing the "US support for oppressive regimes that benefit US narrow interests", saying in a statement on its website that its call was part of world-wide struggle against imperialism.
Many in the country have already heeded the call with a huge protests, dubbed the "Nobama campaign", being planned across the country. The University of Johannesburg's decision to award him an honorary degree has already spurred protest and frustration.
Among the various organisations supporting Cosatu's call include the South African Communist Party (SACP), and the Muslim Lawyer's Association (MLA).
The MLA has in fact taken its concerns a step further, by lodging an urgent legal complaint with the country's prosecuting authority, asking it to investigate, charge, arrest and try Obama for alleged crimes he has presided over, in the hope that the court "will take seriously its domestic and international obligations… to act against international war criminals".
The group believes that Obama is guilty of "genocide", "war crimes and "crimes against humanity" and that, under international laws to which South Africa is a signatory, he should be arrested on arrival in South African territory.
The possibility of an immediate state investigation and arrest of Obama in South Africa has since fallen away, with a court looking ruling on Wednesday that the matter was not urgent.
Yousha Tayob, spokesperson for the MLA, says his organisation was not discouraged, and hoped that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) will still commit to an eventual investigation.
Al Jazeera's Safeeyah Kharsany spoke to Tayob about "the Obama Docket".
Safeeyah Kharsany: What is the 'Obama Docket'?
Yousha Tayob: "The Obama Docket" is essentially a complaint that we have referred to various police and prosecuting authorities in South Africa, indicating that we believe he is guilty of a number of transgressions of international customary laws – consisting of the Geneva Convention, the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And in particular, implementation of the Rome Statute, which is legislation adopted in our law in 2002, and which gives us the authority to prefer charges against an acting head of state, for atrocities he has committed, and to bring the foreigner within the [state's] jurisdiction…
We have said by law that we have evidence – by way of his own confession – in regards to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. And these are based primarily on reports we obtained and his own confessions in regards to the stepping up of drone attacks, extraterritorially and extra-judiciality; renditions; and the killing of US citizens in foreign land.
We've also made much reference to Guantanamo, and the fact that ninety percent of its inhabitants are Muslim and almost all of the victims in the foreign countries are Muslim. So we placed that under the label of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
SK: What are the 'war crimes' are that [Barack Obama] has committed?
YT: I'll start with Guantanamo. He has detained people without due process; he has indicated that some of these people are too dangerous to release, but that they have insufficient evidence against them. This is detention without trial, this is no due process.
Then we turn to the drone attacks. And the Pakistani high court judge has declared the drone attacks to be illegal and has asked the UN to commence an investigation into them. Navi Pillay [United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights] has questioned the usage of drones, indicating that they are highly questionable. Obama's administration, Obama himself, has multiplied five-fold usage of these drones [compared with] Bush's administration, and he has acknowledged civilian deaths continue to haunt him… and unfortunately for him, those happen to be real people with real lives.
The only palatable issue for them appears to be that they're Muslim lives. So he continues to use drones [irrespective] and knowing full well the extent of the civilian death caused.
Then we have the renditions, which he's acknowledged where people are languishing in death holes all over the world without judicial process. No due process is being followed. People have simply been picked up, locked up, in Guantanamos of their own, all around the world.
The third is that he has authorised the assassination of particular individuals… And he personally authorised those killings from the reports that we have in our possession…
The Stanford University report Living Under Drones called the drone attacks unnecessary; have called them disproportionate, and all of these things fall into the definition of what we call breaches of international customary laws, laws of war, war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
SK: What basis does a South African organisation have to lay such a complaint?
YT: I think it's with the aid of our constitution; we are entitled to bring any lawsuit to our court in the interest of parties who are not able to do so. What we're entitled to do in terms of the Rome Statute is that, if an accused, as we say Obama should be in this case, is on South African territory, and as a signatory state to the Rome Statute, and having adopted it into our legislation, we are entitled to have our courts constitute an international criminal court in our country.
When we fail to prosecute, we have the right of referral of the matter to the ICC, which is the alternative we have asked our South African court to attend to. So if they don't want to do it themselves, we ask that they refer it to the ICC as a legitimate complaint for the ICC's attention.
SK: What are your organisation's expectations?
YT: If we look at the law, both the international customary law provision and the implementation of Rome Statute, we're on all fours at the legislation. We meet the requirements. We believe we do so and we believe in law that we are correct.
By his own confessions he has committed these crimes. By virtue of the implementation of the Rome Statute he is not granted immunity.
In fact in terms of section four of the act, he can be investigated and arrested and prosecuted and we're saying that… from a legal point of view the complaint cannot be faulted.
We're hoping, considering South Africa's rich history of human rights struggle, that they'll continue to consider it, even though they're now forcing us to go to court to get a judge to order the investigation of the matter.
SK: Is your hope that the South African government will act and arrest Obama when he arrives in South Africa?
YT: The least we can do is commit an investigation based on the information we provided them with, which is the war crimes. If they decided beyond the investigation that they want to prosecute, then yes, arrest is one of the means by which they must secure his [attendance] in a court room.
They can obviously use a sign, they can obviously use a warning.
But what we're saying is: "Commit the investigation and you'll find that we're right on the evidence, we're right on the law, and eventually you will proceed with a prosecution."
