1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was* at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2 He said unto them*, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him*, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva*, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
31 And* certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all* with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what* man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipperb of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought* to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
38 Wherefore* if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the lawc is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

What Personal Injury Damages Can You be Compensated For? Under personal injury law, when you’ve sustained injury, damage to property, or any kind of loss, as the victim you may ask to be compensated by the person you hold partly or fully liable for the losses. However, types of damages may vary from one type of personal injury claim to another. It is therefore important that, as the plaintiff, you’re aware of the damages for which you can file claims. Specific Compensatory Damages Any monetary expenses sustained due to an injury are compensated under special damages. This kind of damages is unique to a particular complainant, and normally, they vary appreciably from one case to another. If you’re awarded special damages, these should compensate you fully for every single expense you incurred or money lost owing to the event that resulted in your personal injuries. All expenses suffered because of the injury are covered under special damages, and as such, there’s no restriction on the range of special damages that you can include in your claims or the amount you can ask for compensation following personal injury.
Finding Ways To Keep Up With Lawyers
Loss of earnings: If the injuries you suffered made it impossible to work and earn, or treatment for the injuries meant you could not report to work and earn, that amounts to compensable lost earnings.
5 Uses For Services
Lost future earnings: Some injuries are so severe that, once suffered, the victim is unable to work and earn as before for the rest of their life or a huge portion of it. Such may be the outcome of permanent or long-term disability, for example the loss of hands. Your claims can include such special damages for compensation. Medical costs: All costs you incur due to the treatment for your injuries can be compensated under special damages. Even after you’ve left the hospital, there are future medical expenses you may incur for some time or for the rest of your life due to the injuries, and these should be included in your special damages claims. Damages You Can’t Quantify It may be impossible to give a number to certain damages, but that does not mean these are not compensable. For instance, the pain you suffer as a result of personal injury may be hard to associate with any financial cost, but it’s an issue that your compensation claims should address. The same reasoning also works for psychological pain that’s also tricky to quantify. You may also be compensated for the loss of companionship. You will need to involve your personal injury attorney and other experts in the working out of the compensation figure to ask for all non-quantifiable damages. Be sure to determine all the losses and damages suffered due to injury, including both special damages and non-quantifiable damages to stand a better chance of receiving fair compensation.

New York Giants 2015 NFL Draft Preview: Defensive Tackles

by BigBlueInteractive.com Contributor Sy’56

*Below are my published, abbreviated reports via Ourlads Scouting Services, LLC

**A note about Pro Upside Comparisons: These are comparisons that are based on the player reaching his ceiling. It does not necessarily mean I believe the player will “be as good as”.

Johnathan Hankins – 23 Years old – Signed through 2016

Cullen Jenkins – 34 Years old – Signed through 2015

Kenrick Ellis – 28 Years old – Signed through 2015

Markus Kuhn – 29 Years old – Signed through 2015

Jay Bromley – 23 Years old – Signed through 2017

Dominique Hamilton – 26 Years old – Signed through 2015

I wouldn’t call the current group of DTs a weakness but there is plenty of room for improvement across the board. Hankins has blossomed in to a quality three down player. He is a force against the run with his ability to control multiple gaps and make plays when he is single teamed. If you made a list of the top 10 DTs across the league, Hankins has a right to be on it. Jenkins and Ellis provide the balance of run and pass defense from the inside. Jenkins is a versatile and savvy defender that can take advantage of matchups inside and outside, while Ellis was brought in to add a much needed run defender to keep linebackers clean. The wildcard here is Bromley, a potential pass rush presence that NYG desperately needs. Many, including myself, believe he was over-drafted in round 3 last year. He has every opportunity to be a difference maker along this defensive line. Kuhn and Hamilton can compete for jobs, but neither have proven to be difference makers and decisions won’t be made based on them.

1 – Leonard Williams – USC – 6’5/302 – 89

Upside Pro Comparison: Muhammed Wilkerson/NYJ

Strong Points: Physical marvel that has made an impact from day one of his career. Freakish combination of size, speed, and strength. Strong hands that grab on to the blocker and can toss them aside with ease. Plays with a low base and high hands. Holds the point of attack whether he is up against single or double teams. Powerful bull rusher up the middle with the ability to collapse the pocket. Can get to the quarterback a variety of ways from different spots along the defensive line. Versatile athlete. Can accelerate off his blocks. Can use his strength or quickness at any given point throughout the engagement. Explosive tackler that swallows ball carriers. Very aggressive, high effort player. Tough gamer, plays through injuries at a high level.

Weak Points: Doesn’t read the action around him. Will be forced in to compromising positions against trap blocks. Slow reaction to complex blocking schemes. Relies too much on strength and power rather than technique. Footwork is inconsistent. Doesn’t play the game with his feet as much as he does his hands.

Summary: Junior entry. Widely considered a top tier talent in this draft class as a whole. Williams is a true nightmare for offensive linemen. He is too big and fast for a lone blocker to take on. He can be moved around the defensive line in any scheme. His short area explosion and power presence can be a dominant force within the tackle box against the run. His speed out of his stance and variety of rush moves can collapse the edge of the pocket against the pass. There isn’t much that Williams cannot do and his impact on the NFL will be immediate.

*My top overall player in this class. He is expected by almost everyone to be one of the first two or three picks in the draft. He could fit the NYG scheme like a glove because of his inside-out versatility. He could legitimately play the 4-3 LDE role or the UT role. His length and foot speed make him a tough matchup for any kind of blocker. Combine that with his top tier intangibles and mental awareness on the field, Williams is probably the safest pick of the draft and offers All-Pro upside.

2 – Danny Shelton – Washington – 6’2/339 – 80

Upside Pro Comparison: Vince Wilfork/HOU

Strong Points: Powerful and high energy pocket collapser. Quick thinker that can read the action around him. Very smart and aware. Plays with a low and strong center of gravity. Can anchor his position against double teams. Generates a high amount of power from both his legs and hands. Stifles and controls the blocker with his initial punch. Pursues and hustles from sideline to sideline and all the way downfield. Gets near the action often. Can shed blocks several ways. And pull and jerk, undercut, and spin his way off the blocker. Light on his feet when he needs to be. Tenacious pass rusher with a violent and surprisingly athletic style. Can bull rush his way deep in to the pocket. Carries a lot of weight but moves surprisingly well.

Weak Points: Had several maturity issues early in his career. Weight will need to be monitored, as he carries a lot of loose meat. Initial explosion and quickness off the snap isn’t there. Will over pursue and neglect assignments. Struggles to change direction in short space. His momentum carries him out of the play.

Summary: 1st Team All American. Shelton has improved each and every season of his career both on and off the field. His maturity issues appear to be a thing of the past but those they still need to be investigated. Between the sidelines Shelton is a terror for linemen to block. He has tremendous functional power and strength. He is a high effort player that plays through the whistle with consistency. He outplays what his body type says he can do. He improves as the play goes on because of his rare ability to get off blocks and chase down the action. Shelton can fit in to any scheme and start from day one in the NFL.

*Shelton turned in to the favorite player of many people over the past 8 months. His senior season helped his draft grade as much as anyone in the class with All-American caliber production. I’ve seen a lot of him and I can’t say there is a “special” here, but by no means do I overlook his potential to be a terror for a defense from the inside. He can be a valuable run defender for any kind of scheme, not just the 3-4. He will absorb blockers but there is also a level of effort and ability that gets him involved on a lot of tackles. Pairing him with Hankins would create a sense of inside dominance against the run for NYG. He doesn’t fit the mold of what NYG usually goes for at DT, but I think there is still a good possibility he is their pick at #9 overall. NYG needs more consistent and reliable presence inside and pairing Shelton with Hankins would do exactly that. With a defense that needs more attitude, Shelton could be an immediate game changer.

3 – Carl Davis – Iowa – 6’5/320 – 79

Upside Pro Comparison: Haloti Ngata/DET

Strong Points: Big everywhere with a lot of functional strength. Long and thick frame that moves with plenty of athleticism and balance. Can play with proper leverage, bending easy at the knees with hands high. Can move his body quickly in tight spaces. Absorbs the double teams and anchors his position. Always seems to be in control of the engagement. Neutralizes the blocker and frees himself with a powerful grip and strong base. Swallows up the ball carrier when tackling. Wraps up well. Can fill an open lane while engaged with a blocker. Can diagnose by feeling the pressure from blockers and flow towards the action.

Weak Points: Strictly an in between the tackles player. Won’t make a lot of plays away from the line of scrimmage. Doesn’t explode in to the gaps. Will get too high once engaged, losing out on a lot of his strength. Limited pass rusher. Lacks the moves and hand work to free himself. Will almost always use a bull rush, needs more variety to his pass rush repertoire.

Summary: Two year starter that doesn’t jump off the stat sheet but makes his presence known every play. Huge frame that carries a lot of weight with ease. Consistently gets that push at the point of attack and will demand attention. He can keep the linebackers behind him free of blockers while clogging the inside running lanes. Davis has some sneaky athleticism to his game as well. When the action is near him, he can move his way towards the action and make a play. There is short area quickness and burst that very few players his size possess. He can be an impact player right away in the NFL in any defensive front.

*Davis is an intriguing case and prospect. There have been flashes from his time both at Iowa and the Senior Bowl where he looked like a top 10 player in the draft class. His size and presence was constant. He isn’t a guy that gets pushed back. He looked like a man among boys at times. His role in the Iowa defense was more about reading blockers and staying at home, absorbing space and bodies. Every now and then however, I would see him break out of his stance and carry multiple blockers in the backfield. After seeing him do the same at the Senior Bowl, I left with the impression there is some “special” in this kid. There are rumors of work ethic issues and he did seem to tire easily at Iowa, but I haven’t confirmed anything there. Davis is more than a run defender but very much like Shelton, his worst case scenario is a guy that is plus space eater with the upside of being another Hankins-type, true three down guy. Round 2 value would be very good here.

4 – Eddie Goldman – Florida State – 6’4/336 – 79

Upside Pro Comparison: Dan Williams/OAK

Strong Points: Thick from head to toe. Long arms and a wide frame, hold his weight comfortably. Fires out of his stance with his hands up and ready to go. Easy bender, stays below the pads of the blocker, consistently winning the leverage battle. Strong, heavy hands that are very functional. Aggressive at the point of attack. Shows the strength to anchor his position at the very least. Handles the double teams to keep linebackers clean. Effective bull rusher. Creates a tremendous amount of force to press the pocket. Can get in to a quarterback’s step up space in a blink. Has the quickness to jump out of his stance and in to the backfield. Can carry blockers in to the pocket.

Weak Points: Not as effective when he needs to use skill-based rush moves. He struggles to shed blocks if he doesn’t get the initial advantage off the snap. Lacks speed in pursuit, not a space player. Has lapses in concentration. Won’t read blocks and is often found out of position. Creates big cutback lanes and won’t always stay true to his assignment. Doesn’t always have the leg drive to produce maximum power.

Summary: Junior entry. Gifted athlete that has all of the physical traits that teams want out of a defensive tackle. Size, speed, flexibility, coordination are all there. Goldman often under-produced considering his ability. He has shown glimpses of being a terror to block inside, however. He is very quick off the snap and can bull rush the strongest of pass blockers deep in to the pocket. High potential athlete but still needs a lot of work on some of the finer, mental aspects of the game.

*It took me a few games to get a feel for Goldman and really appreciate the kind of player he is. I’ve known of him for a few years now, as I watched him play in high school here in NJ and I remember thinking NFL while watching him warm up. He is a little bit of a freak. He carries a lot of weight with ease, an athletic 330+ pounds. At FSU he never really broke out in to a playmaking, gap shooting defender but that doesn’t mean he didn’t perform. Goldman might be the best run stuffer in this class when it comes to eating blockers and chewing up space. He is the guy that rarely, if ever, gets pushed back regardless of having one or two blockers assigned to him. One thing that prevents him from a first round grade, however, is a lack of awareness and reading ability. He is late to recognize and won’t get near the action as much as someone like Shelton does. For the role he would play here in NY, Goldman would be a force. He is a better version, but similar player to Linval Joseph. And for those that like “inside info”, I have heard NYG has a high grade on him.

5 – Malcolm Brown – Texas – 6’2/319 – 78

Upside Pro Comparison: Randy Starks/CLE

Strong Points: Stout frame with equal thickness through his upper and lower body. Powerful and quick off the snap. Can explode out of his stance and reach the blocker before he is set up. Easy bender, consistently plays with a low pad level and body control. Incredibly strong hands. Can grip and rip the blocker away. Shows consistent ability to get off blocks and free himself up. Quick reaction. Can move fast within a phone booth and will make a lot of plays behind or at the line of scrimmage. Packs a big punch. Hits hard and can turn speed in to power right away. Accelerates off blocks and has range within the tackle box.

Weak Points: Shows a tendency to get stood up if he doesn’t win off the snap. Can get locked on to and struggles to get off the blockers that have a lot of hand strength. Lacks athleticism the further in to space he gets. Struggles to reach the blockers with his hands. Won’t always get inside position and it will take him longer to free himself. Will compromise his assignment but trying to get around blocks rather than stay in his gap, creating lanes.

Summary: Junior entry. 1st Team All American. Was nominated for some of the most prestigious defensive awards in college football. Is married with two children. Brown is a tough assignment for any blocker. He has the quickness off the snap to get in to the backfield within a blink of time, has the strength to toss blockers to the side, and has the instincts to naturally flow towards the action and always be around the ball. He knows how to finish. If he can stay on top of his technique, Brown has the potential to be one of the best in the league.

*There are some people I respect that have a top 10 overall grade on Brown. I like him, but not that high. There is a nice blend of talent here when looking at his size, movement off the snap, and ability to disengage from blockers. He lacks the standout quality though and too often I see him getting pushed off the ball. He doesn’t exactly anchor against power blockers. He is a gap shooter without top tier explosion ability. I think Brown is going to get over-drafted but that doesn’t mean I think he is a bust waiting to happen. He’ll be a player, just not the immediate star that some are saying. He can improve his game a lot with a simple in consistency of technique and mechanics. The talent is there, just not sure the skills are.

6 – Jordan Phillips – Oklahoma – 6’5/329 – 78

Upside Pro Comparison: Albert Haynesworth/RET

Strong Points: Massive presence. Tall, long, and functionally thick. Quick out of his stance and makes the offensive line react to him. Can get his hands on the blocker and control the engagement. Quickness to either side, moves well laterally. Hard hitter, can forcefully pound a ball carrier in to the ground. Has such a wide reach, can close a hole fast. Gets off blocks with sheer power or quickness. Consistently pulls and jerks offensive linemen out of the way. Elite strength from his base. Can anchor his position against double teams without giving up any ground. High effort player, consistent engine. Can press the pocket, bull rushes his way to the quarterback.

Weak Points: Limited athlete in space. Does not pursue well to the outside. Ball carriers can outrun his angles. Will play high out of his stance, exposing his numbers to the blockers. Lacks an array of refined pass rush moves. Lacks versatility and may not be a three down player. Doesn’t have that explosive element to his game. Back injury ended his 2013 season after 4 games.

Summary: Fourth year sophomore entry. Redshirt in 2011 and a medical redshirt in 2013. Limited experience player, but has the upside of a dominant inside force. Phillips demands the attention of multiple blockers every play. His combination of size, strength, and quickness off the ball consistently creates havoc. He is a space eater inside that is rarely pushed back by the double team. He can shorten a pocket when a blocker is left alone to pass block him. Phillips can be an immediate force inside at the next level as long as his back holds up. May never be a star, but he will be reliable.

*It took me awhile to catch on to Phillips, as I didn’t realize he was draft-eligible until December. There are games where Phillips reminded me of what Albert Haynesworth looked like the year prior to his free agency with Tennessee. There isn’t a blocker in the country that can keep Phillips from pushing the pocket. His combination of size, strength, and speed is too much for a lone man to handle. The problem for Phillips is actually one of his strengths, his height. He isn’t very well conditioned, so when he gets tired he stands straight up and makes it much easier for blockers to prevent from impacting the play. I don’t think there are effort issues here, but I’m just not sure he can be a 3 down guy. As part of a rotation, he is a guy that can be moved around to force an offensive line to shift a certain way, making things more predictable for linebackers. There is a back issue that needs to be looked in to, as I know some scouts have given him a big downgrade because of it. Not a good thing for a guy that already struggles with leverage from time to time. Fully healthy, Phillips can be one of the top players in this class.

7 – Marcus Hardison – Arizona State – 6’3/307 – 77

Upside Pro Comparison: Corey Liuget/SD

Strong Points: Quickness of the snap with a powerful upper body makes him a touch matchup. Exceptional athleticism for a player his size. Can overwhelm blockers with movement on one play and strength on the next. Gets his hands on fast and can shed blockers . Comfortable in space and in traffic. Can break through the pocket several ways from different spots. Can turn the corner with full body control while moving at full speed. Can bull rush and push the pocket.

Weak Points: Really only had one year of productivity at the D-I level. Lacks lower body size and strength. Lacks the ideal body type for play between the tackles. Doesn’t play with a low-enough pad level. Will bend at the waist and rely too much on movement and upper body strength. Won’t generate a pop to the blocker out of his stance.

Summary: Fourth year senior. Spent two years in junior college prior to joining the Sun Devils. Hardison was not an impact player at all in 2013 but broke out in a big way in 2014 with 10 sacks and 15 tackles for loss. He was a tough matchup for tackles, as he was simply to strong, quick, and powerful to consistently block. He had surprising ability to move quickly in a short space for a player over 300 pounds. In the right scheme he can be a very good interior pass rush presence and/or outside run defender. Teams that like to move their defensive linemen around based on matchups will love Hardison. As he continues to strengthen his lower body and improve the consistency of his technique, Hardison could end up being a big time presence.

*If NYG is looking to add an interior pass rush presence, Hardison needs to be given a hard look. He mostly played a DE role for ASU, but his body type and style of play can fit inside within a 4-3 front. He is quick off the ball and plays with heavy hands. Hardison doesn’t get the attention that I think he deserves. Very few defensive tackles in this class can do what he does. Is he an every down guy? Maybe not as a DT but I think you can get enough out of him as a run stuffing LDE and pass rushing DT. If he is there, starting in round 3 which I am sure he will be, he will have my attention.

8 – Michael Bennett – Ohio State – 6’2/293 – 74

Upside Pro Comparison: Sylvester Williams/DEN

Strong Points: Explosive north/south mover that can fire out of his stance and shoot the gaps. Consistently beats blockers to a point. Plays with a low center of gravity, making him a tough target for blockers to lock on to. Quick and powerful hands. Refined rush moves. Has a tenacious, almost wild get off when shooting the gaps as a pass rusher. Has the explosion to close a five yard gap in a blink. Productive and effective within the tackle box. Can react well to the action and flow towards the ball.

Weak Points: Lacks ideal size and length. May need more weight on his frame. Struggles to reach for the blocker and control the engagement with his hands. Struggles to anchor his position as a stay at home defender. Too easily moved by the blocker when he is locked on to. Won’t recover well after being initially beat after the snap. Doesn’t occupy space and multiple blockers at the same, time. Shows a lack of speed and effort once the action is outside the tackles.

Summary: Fourth year senior with almost 30 career starts. Son of parents that both went to West Point and served in the military. Team leader. Bennett is a one-gap penetrator that may be restricted to certain schemes in the NFL. His initial quickness and ability to break the pocket will be sought after by most 4-3 defenses in the league, most notably the Tampa-2 based schemes. He is consistently faster than the blocker, gaining the initial advantage. He lacks the staying power against the run and will need to get stronger before he is an every down player, however. Good role player type that can excel against the pass, always a trait in high demand.

*Another pass rush specialist here, however I am not as high on him as some are. Bennett has the quickness of the snap and he can be a solid gap shooter that makes guys adjust. I think he can fit in to pass rush-only type role but when it comes to every down duty, I think he will be a liability more than an asset. He gets pushed off the ball far too often and unless he gets the initial positional advantage post-snap, he can be rendered ineffective. He is the kind of guy that simply won’t keep the linebackers clean. If he could be had in round 4, I would think it’s good value but I think he ends up going in the first 3 rounds.

9 – Xavier Cooper – Washington State – 6’3/293 – 73

Upside Pro Comparison: Ziggy Hood/JAC

Strong Points: Exceptional athlete for his size. Carries 300 pounds with ease and moves like a player that is much lighter. Can explode out of his stance and get in to the blocker’s body right away. Gets his strong hands on right away and works hard to control the engagement. Can stick his feet to the ground and maintain his position against power blockers. Can feel the flow of the action and get himself in position to make an impact. Smart, quick reactions. Relentless pursuit of the ball carrier. Face up tackler that can deliver a violent impact. Top tier speed in pursuit, will reach the sidelines from his interior spot. Often found downfield, never gives up on a play.

Weak Points: Lacks the ideal bulk for interior defensive line positions. Light in the pants. Will need to enhance his upper and lower body strength. Gets by on hustle and grit, but doesn’t show a lot of pass rush moves. Needs to improve the skill-based aspects of the position. Will play too high and expose his chest to the blockers.

Summary: Junior entry. Three year starter. Cooper played a couple of different defensive line positions for the Cougars. He played in a 3-4 DE role, but also shifted inside in four man fronts and excelled in both roles. He is a long athlete with a lot of open field athleticism. His playing speed is rare for the position. Cooper was an accomplished high school basketball player and it shows when he is in space. At the point of attack, Cooper is a violent and quick defender that has plenty of functional strength to hold his ground and stifle ball carriers. There is a lot teams can do with him, and once he gains some strength and girth, he could be an every down force in any scheme.

*At first glance, after seeing two of his games, I had Cooper as one of the top pass rushing DTs in this class. He is another guy that can play inside/out, showing too much quickness for guards and too much strength for the tackles. He is a high-motor player that has more lower body strength than you would think by looking at him. He showed the ability to anchor his position against power blockers and the way he accelerates off blocks is noteworthy. He is a superb athlete with pads on. My biggest gripe with him is a lack of size. He isn’t thick enough and lacks the necessary to length. As a rotational, day three pick Cooper can be a steal.

10 – David Parry – Stanford – 6’1/308 – 73

Upside Pro Comparison: Barry Cofield/WAS

Strong Points: Stout and powerful at the point of attack. Tremendous use of leverage and lower body strength. Quick and low. Easy knee bender that can move quickly in a short space. Can press defenders off his body and get the separation he needs to make any sort of lateral movement. Turns a corner fast, easy change of direction. Constantly near the action and can tackle with force.

Weak Points: Limited athlete the further in to space he gets. Does not have the height or length that a typical defensive tackle prospect has. Limited skill set as a pass rusher.

Summary: Underrated, overlooked defender that wore a few hats for the Stanford defense. Does the dirty work inside, demanding attention and keeping linebackers clean. Parry can do more than eat space, he is a force between the tackles. He doesn’t stay blocked for long because of his consistent, relentless approach. His low center of gravity packed with power and quickness make him a tough assignment every down.

*There is a part of me that thinks Parry could go undrafted because he lacks tools. I’m keeping my 4th round grade on him though. He is a football player, pain and simple. I watched Stanford early in the year to get a look at some of their other notables, but Parry just kept on jumping off the screen. Talk about a disruptive presence inside, Parry plays the game with a wrestler’s type leverage and won’t be pushed back. He showed some ability to do more than occupy blockers with quickness and a nose for the action. He found the ball carrier often and finished off plays more than your common 3-4 NT. Does he fit in the 4-3? I think he does. There is demand for a presence like this when looking at the NYG interior defenders. He’ll be a favorite of the team’s linebackers and watch him out-produce several players drafted ahead of him.

11 – Gabe Wright – Auburn – 6’3/300 – 73

*I like the frame and movement off the snap. He can be an early contributor with his power presence on the move, but may lack the ability to anchor his position against the run.

12 – Derek Lott – Tennessee-Chattanooga – 6’4/314 – 72

*One of my top small school prospects. Started off at Georgia but struggled to see the field. Went to a lower level of college football and showed flashes of dominance, as he should have. A player with this size and pass rush ability shouldn’t be overlooked. Day 3 value would be nice here, I like the upside.

13 – Grady Jarrett – Clemson – 6’1/304 – 71

*Undersized, yes. But you’ll struggle to find a DT that plays harder than this guy. His lack of size shows up on tape here and there, but you won’t go more than a few plays without seeing him make an impact. Not a fit for every scheme and his role is pretty specific, but he can help a team looking for interior rush.

14 – L.T. Walton – Central Michigan – 6’5/319 – 71

*Another small school guy with an intriguing tool set and developed skills. Walton is more than a run plug, he showed some good movement between the tackles and if the light turns on, you are looking at a starting caliber player that can fit multiple schemes. He’s a guy I think sneaks in to the top 3 rounds.

15 – Darius Philon – Arkansas – 6’1/298 – 71

*Yet another undersized pass rusher from the inside. Philon was really productive and looked unblockable at times. For awhile I questioned if he was a better prospect than the well known Trey Flowers, a DE we will talk about later in the week. The lack of length will hurt him in the NFL but he can carve himself a niche somewhere.

16 – Tyeler Davison – Fresno State – 6’2/316 – 70

*Limited athlete but a dependable run defender. He can anchor his spot with consistent leg drive and leverage. Won’t make plays but he is a guy that fills out a roster and will have a job as a backup run defender.

17 – Leon Orr – Florida – 6’5/323 – 70

*If it weren’t for the confusing off-field issues, Orr could have been a top 10 guy on this list. He left the team after being taken out of the starting lineup, which is odd. His story has been tough to look in to but when I watch him, I see upside. He can really move and he carries 320+ pounds with ease. He just screams NFL defensive tackle and I think he fits the 4-3 really well.

18 – Darius Kilgo – Maryland – 6’2/310 – 69

*Played a 3-4 NT role but he can fit multiple schemes. Made plays in 2014 that most people probably didn’t see because if they did, he would have been at the combine. He is a lot better than several guys that were there. Run defender first, but showed the short area quickness to take advantage of opportunities.

19 – James Castleman – Oklahoma State – 6’2/300 – 67

*Really strong upper body, a guy that just bench presses blockers off him and will locate the ball. Might be undersized for the role he plays but he is tougher than nails. I saw Oklahoma State 4 times and each time I had positive notes on him.

20 – Christian Covington – Rice – 6’2/289 – 67

*Undersized and beat up, but watch his 2013 tape and you cant help but wonder if this guy should be a 1st rounder. Covington has the blend of quickness and power that gives blockers a headache. He had a pretty nasty knee injury last fall though and some teams have crossed him off their board after failed physicals.

Angelo Blackson – Auburn – 6’4/318

*Overlooked defender on an underrated SEC defense that has a few defenders getting a lot of attention for next year’s draft. Blackson kept linebackers clean with his disruptive nature off the snap and was rarely pushed back. Dirty work guy that has the frame to add more good weight. He has more mechanics and consistent technique than some of the top guys on this list.

While some may view DT as a lesser need of the roster, it’s a position that really hurt this defense in 2014. Hankins is evolving in to a force but he can’t do it by himself in a 4 man front, there needs to be another presence along side of him that makes the opposing offense gameplan around. This prospect group is an interesting one in that there are a lot of guys that can help the run defense or pass rush, but not both. What does NYG need more? A credible argument can be made for both but finding a guy that can do both is going to be very tough.

I don’t think any of these prospects (outside of Williams at the top) will be worth their #9 overall selection. But once they are on the clock in round 2 and from there on out, NYG needs to be looking at some of these prospects with the thought that one of them can take this unit’s run defense to another level. The pass rush prospects are worth looking at as well, but they are all undersized and counting on them would strike some fear in to me and may not be worth the risk. They may be better off going after an edge rusher and getting creative with pass rush packages, shifting some of their more physical ends inside.

Robert Alexander – Chart Freak

Robert Alexander, better known as ‘Alex’ in trading forums, has been a full time trader for nearly a decade. He began trading in the late 1990s while working in sales at a well-known aerospace company. As his style evolved and his success grew, he left corporate America to trade full time. Alex’s early trading was hit or miss. With an evolving style and a busy work schedule, his results were uneven. Dissatisfied, he dove deeply into the methods of a number of successful traders – Jesse Livermore, Bernard Baruch, Dan Loeb, Nicolas Darvas, William O’Neil – and his trading quickly improved.

Hungry to learn more, Alex attended a 2003 course in Technical Analysis that would prove pivotal in solidifying his trading style. He began to focus on breakouts and volume, developing a unique view of charting that enabled him to leave his formal job to trade full time. After more than a decade, Alex’s chart study remains the foundation of his trading style. In addition to his own trading, Alex is passionate about helping others. He spends countless hours in investing forums, sharing and explaining charts. Bull Bear Talk (BBT) is an everyday haunt. Alex lives in his native New England, where he enjoys outdoor activities, sporting events and spending time with family and friends.

Paint and roll

Watching the children walk into the studio this morning and wandering around the space to discover the experiences that are on offer is always a highlight of what we do. The questions soon followed, “What is this?”, “What do we do here?” and “What is that?”

On our large table this morning we set up a motion painting experience. We placed white paper into trays together with large spatulas and a few bouncy balls. The children had the opportunity to choose their paint colours and squeeze them on to the paper. This was only the start of the fun! A couple of balls were added and the children either chose to push the balls around with a spatula or they picked up the tray and let the balls roll back and forth and side to side.

The results of the colour mixing and patterns obviously looked amazing but beyond the aesthetics, this experience encourages both fine and gross motor skills with the children being able to squeeze the paint and then to move the ball around the tray. It also develops hand-eye coordination and introduces concepts such as colour mixing, patterning and understanding cause and effect.

Once the paper was pulled out of the tray, we spent time observing the outcome, identifying the colours, pointing out the lines and negative space and the effect of movement.

The power of creative play

Creativity is a subject very close to our hearts here at Big Wild Imagination but it can be a word that scares people (especially grown-ups!). Some people believe that creativity is an inborn talent and you either have it or you don't. But everyone is creative!  It is our ability to problem solve, to imagine, to dream. As we grow older a lot of people lose confidence in their creativity and fall into the trap of thinking that if they can’t paint, or draw then they are not creative. But creativity is a skill and one that can be nurtured, developed and improved.

Creativity isn't just about artistic talent, it is essential for almost all areas of our life including our social and emotional wellbeing. Thinking creatively not only helps to solve problems but also assists in adapting to change and technological advances. If we want to future-proof our children and raise a generation of creative, entrepreneurial thinkers, we need to provide the time, the space and the resources for unstructured, imaginative play.

The best thing about being creative, is fully immersing yourself in an experience and getting lost in the moment. There is no right or wrong. If you need proof of this, just watch a young child making art and experiencing the joy of the process. They aren't worried about the end product or if it is "good" they are just enjoying the experience of making and doing.  Creativity is a skill ingrained into our minds and the only thing stopping us from expressing ourselves is society's belief that there should be a result at the end or that art only belongs to those with "talent".

If you want to encourage more creativity at home you can do this by:

  • encouraging it - making the time and space for it
  • displaying it - on the fridge or in frames, it doesn't matter
  • discussing it - not just what children produce but the creative arts around you
  • encouraging divergent thinking - is there another way to solve the problem or more than one solution? Let them disagree with you or break up old ideas.
  • highlight process over product - worry less about the end result and more about the experience. Was it fun? What did you like doing?

Making Goop step-by-step

Goop (also known as slime) is a big hit with all ages in our workshops. There's something irresistible about the way it morphs from a solid state to a melting, oozing substance and then back again.

We make big trays of it in masses of colours at Big Wild Imagination but if you want to enjoy the fun at home here's how to make a smaller batch.

What you'll need:

  • 1 x packet cornflour (approx 300g) - any brand

  • cold water

  • food colouring or liquid watercolours

  • shallow tray or tub

  • (optional) little toys, spoons, containers and utensils for scooping and filling

Tip the cornflour into your tray or tub and add the water a little at a time, mixing as you go. Hands work well here but you can also use a spoon, mixing until you get a liquid like consistency. The ratio is 2 parts cornflour to 1 part water.

Add your preferred colour and mix through. Or add a few colours and experiment with colour mixing. (Note: some food colours will temporarily stain hands when used in Goop - but nothing a good bath can't get out later).

Once it is all mixed together, you can press it and it will be hard and crumbly but let it go and it will trickle through your fingers. Can you try and make a ball with it? Can you scoop it into a container? What happens when you press your hands on it? So many experiments - so MUCH fun!

We recommend playing with your Goop outside or using a drop sheet as little hands have a tendency to flick this stuff about. However cleanup is easy as it rinses away from hands and clothes with warm water, or if you let it dry it can be brushed off or vacuumed up.

Goop can be stored in a ziplock bag or airtight container to be played with on another day but you may need to add a little more water to re-use it another time. When completely finished you can throw it in the bin - don't put it down the sink - it might clog your drain!

Really? That's interesting you say that. I always thought highly of Costco, but then i can see how they would use a little more ethanol =\. I used Shell more than anything else.

Thumbs down 760 li alternator

My '03 760 Li has only 25k miles and while driving one day, it died on me. It spent 7 days at the dealer. The alternator went bad they said. Also the battery. The dealer replaced the alternator with a remanufactured one. I asked why and they said it was impossible to get a new one. Is that true? I heard this is a common problem with BMWs.

Just had mine replaced last week along with the battery. Only took 1/2 a day for those items, did not fix the error code but at least i know they are new.

Welcome to the Ortlund Lab

We use sophisticated structural biology techniques such as x-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry coupled with an array of biochemical techniques to gain a molecular level understanding of transcriptional signaling - with a particular focus on lipid mediated signaling and transport. We currently pursue structural and biochemical studies of human nuclear receptors, which are lipid regulated transcription factors that play central roles in development, cancer, stress and metabolism. We have also made seminal contributions to the field of molecular evolution using nuclear receptors as a model system to study how tight molecular partnerships evolve.

TypeWhite Paper Summary

Our group is interested in mechanisms of drug-induced cell death. Despite wide clinical use, the precise molecular mechanisms of action of cytostatic drugs are not known. We are studying platinum compounds and have shown that cisplatin, despite being a DNA damaging agent, has a cytoplasmic target (Mandic et al., J Biol Chem 2003). Our data show that DNA damage induces senescence, whereas apoptosis is induced by a reactive oxygen dependent cytoplasmic signaling pathway (Berndtsson et al., Int J Cancer 2006). Recent studies have shown that cisplatin induces at least two different stress-activated kinase pathways to regulate activation and complex formation of the pro-apoptotic mitochondrial protein BAK (Ihrlund Strandberg et al. Exp Cell Res 2006). Induction of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species is another mechanism of potential importance in chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. We study drug- and cell-specific nitration and carbonylation of cellular proteins, and how this affects the mode and the extent of cell death in different types of cells. The involvement of these mechanisms in the toxic side effects of, e.g., cisplatin, is also addressed. We are in the process of characterizing a large set of pro-apoptotic compounds with respect to their mechanisms of action. Interestingly, compounds that induce p53-independent apoptosis have been found to induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization (Erdal et al., PNAS 2005). In a more clinically oriented project we study tumor cell death in patient serum. Our data show that many tumors die by necrosis and not apoptosis (Kramer et al., Cancer Res 2004). We are developing this technology for use as a tool for treatment montoing. In a recent study, we were able to use this method to study how docetaxel induces apoptosis during treatment of patients with prostate cancer (Kramer et al., Br J Cancer Res 2006). Interestingly, docetaxel was found to induce apoptosis in multiple treatment cycles, which may explain the clinical efficiency of this agent. Finally, we are studying the aspartyl protease napsin. We have shown that napsin is a prosurfactant B-convertase (Ueno et al., J Biol Chem 2004) and we are now studying other aspects of the biology of this protease.

ARMED police surrounded a Birmingham tower block today after a gunman fled inside.

The gunman is believed to have gone into the block of flats in Ladywood following a series of armed robberies in the city.

The tower - Muntz House in Skipton Road - was cordoned off throughout the night and into the early hours as officers searched for the man.

A number of streets surrounding the block on the Chamberlain estate were also taped off by police, according to unconfirmed reports.

It is understood two men was arrested when police swooped on a top floor flat in a bid to bring the stand-off to an end. They were led out by officers at about 7am today.

It was not clear whether a weapon had been recovered in the swoop.

A 40-year-old resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I came in about 2.30am and I heard banging and then dogs barking.

"Then I looked out and thought it was the people below me. Between 3am and 3.15am I heard police banging a door and saying 'armed police'. Then at 7am there was another banging noise from the top floor and police shouting 'armed police - get on the floor'.

"I did not see anyone being taken away. There were more police and police dogs outside the block. I have been here for 11 years and it's normally quite peaceful."

Another resident said he had been forced to stay in his car since 3.30am while police surrounded the block.

One resident of Muntz House, Bernadette Barlow, aged 50, said: "I started hearing the police dogs in the middle of the night and when I looked out there were armed police everywhere. Then riot police came with shields. It was very scary, it made me feel terrible because there are children around here and we just wanted to know what was going on.

"We haven't seen anything like this around here before."

A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "In the early hours of Friday police received a number of reports of robbery having taken place in Moseley and Edgbaston."

It is being reported that West Bromwich Albion target Martin Cacares has been offered a trial with Italian giants Inter Milan.

The Uruguayan is believed to be on the radar of Tony Pulis, while Chelsea, managed by Caceres’ former manager Antonio Conte, are also thought to be keen.

Albion turned their attention to the former Barcelona defender after missing out on their main targets during the summer transfer window.

But, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he is now set to link-up with Inter Milan in a bid to earn a contract with Frank De Boer’s Serie A title chasers.

Caceres has been used as a right-back or central defender throughout his career, but is comfortable playing at left full-back and in a holding midfield role also.

His versatility and the fact that he is available on a free transfer is what one would assume makes him such an attractive prospect to Pulis.

But he might be about to miss out with the Nerazzurri now in pole position for the 29-year-old.

GARY Mills pulls no punches when he insists Tamworth must pick up three points from tomorrow's trip to FA Trophy finalists Stevenage Borough.

Tamworth find themselves third-from-bottom in the Conference, three points adrift of safety with just three games to play.

More worryingly, the three teams immediately above them, Halifax Town, Stafford Rangers and Grays Athletic, all have games in hand.

Mills said: "It's one of those situations where we have to put everything else behind us and win a game of football, it's as simple as that.

"This is one game that we must win."

Mills will be hampered by Jon Stevenson's absence through a hamstring problem while Steve Burton is suffering from a stomach strain.

The Lambs must also rule out Ludo Quistin for the remainder of the season after he picked up a three-match ban following his sending off against St Albans.

Kidderminster Harriers will give Jonny Harkness a late fitness test before naming their side to face Rushden and Diamonds at Nene Park.

Harkness has missed the past two games with a calf strain, while Hereford United loanee Andy Ferrell is ruled out with a knee problem.

Harriers are also unable to play Glen Wilson as part of his loan agreement from Rushden.

Redditch United look to continue their remarkable revival in Conference North when they travel to Hucknall Town.

The Reds have gone eight games without defeat but also have the luxury of games in hand over all their relegation rivals.

Reds boss Gary Whild can select from a position of strength and may have to leave leading marksman Simon Hollis on the bench.

Whild admitted: "It's difficult to leave anyone out at the moment and if we continue playing in the manner we have of late, then the points will look after themselves."

Moor Green may have accepted they can't make the play-offs this season, but that won't stop them trying to cause an upset at title favourites Droylsden.

Moors are missing striker Danny Davidson, who is suspended for the remainder of the season after picking up a four-match ban.

Terry Fleming and Andy Penny are ruled out through injury, but Lee Ayres should be available to partner Lee Collins in defence.

Am I entitled to Unemployment?

I currently have my business for sale in Illinois and a closing set for this June. The buyer is purchasing the assets and will be establishing a new company. I will be staying on for two months to assist in training. After the training period will I be entitled to unemployment from my original company ? I don't want to apply against the new company because it may increase the buyers unemployment rate.

I just consulted in an asset sale in which the seller's spouse filled, and was awarded, unemployment claims against buyer. Seller could not make claims due to non-compete and training agreements, but spouse was entitled as an employee of the company. Local government recognized dba transfer and made no distinguishing difference between old entity and new entity, even though both have separate EINs, etc. Buyer is now paying, and disputing, seller's spouse's unemployment claims.

I disagree with this practice on more levels than I can address here.

Dayton banks rake in fees

Six of Dayton’s top seven banks ranked among the top 50 banks in the country for generating fee income.

Publicly traded banks in the U.S. were ranked based on their average ratio of non-interest income to total operating revenue for 2011 and 2012 in Bank Director magazine’s Nifty 50: Top 50 Fee Income Banks report.

Fee incomes have been crucial as an extra income mechanism to make up for low interest rates at banks.

The fees come from consumers, although many banks are cutting consumer fees because of federal regulations, business lines such as trust and private banking, investment banking and insurance brokerage, and loan fees.

“Loan fees, the third category of fee income, have been a strong driver of fee income for many institutions due in part to a robust mortgage refinancing market,” the report states.

The local bank rankings are:

• JPMorgan Chase & Co., 11th;

• U.S. Bancorp, 17th;

KeyCorp, 19th;

• Fifth Third Bancorp, 20th;

Huntington Bancshares Inc., 30th; and

• PNC Financial Services Group Inc., 40th.

Spirit Airlines begins Denver service

Industries & Tags
Travel & Tourism

Spirit Airlines announced Thursday it will begin flying four nonstop flights from Denver International Airport in May.

The Miramar, Fla.-based airline (Nasdaq: SAVE) said it will begin flying the new routes May 3.

From DIA, Spirit will fly to Chicago O'Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, Fort Lauderdale and Las Vegas. Spirit said it will employ between 25 and 30 people in Denver. The airline will operate from Concourse A at DIA and fly using either a 145-seat Airbus A319 or a 178-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.

"Spirit's decision to initiate service to Denver is great news for the city and the region," Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said in a statement. "New air service generates increased economic activity, which translates into jobs for the people of Denver."

Spirit expanded its fleet last year, adding five aircraft for a total of 37. The company also began flying to another nine airports. Spirit flew to 48 airports at the end of last year.

Spirit will leave for Dallas daily at 7:40 a.m. and Chicago daily at 1:20 p.m. The airline will fly to Las Vegas twice daily, at noon and at 6:15 p.m.

Spirit will have limited service to Fort Lauderdale until June 14. Until then, the airline will leave Denver at 12:30 a.m. every day but Sunday and Monday; on those days the flight will be at 2:30 a.m. Beginning June 14, the daily flight will be at 12:30 a.m.

Spirit announced an introductory fare between Denver and the four cities on its new route of $28.79 each way. The tickets must be purchased by Friday.

The airline on Thursday announced net income rose 5.5 percent last year, to $76.4 million, and operating revenue climbed 37.1 percent, to $1 billion.

Gaylord to reorganize, won't proceed with Aurora hotel as planned

Gaylord Entertainment Co. said Thursday it will not proceed with its proposed Aurora hotel and convention complex "in the form previously anticipated" as it undergoes a company reorganization, including the sale of its hotel brand to Marriott International.

But Gaylord did not indicate it plans to cancel its plans for a 1,500-room, $824 million facility in Aurora near Denver International Airport, and in fact its chief executive Thursday called the proposed Colorado project "a screamer of a deal and a world-class hotel."

In a conference call with analysts, Gaylord CEO Colin Reed said the company still believes the Aurora project "could be a significant project for Denver," but the form in which it might take place is to be determined. It will be a vastly reduced financial involvement by Gaylord, however, he said.

The Nashville, Tenn.-based hotel and resort company (NYSE: GET) also said it plans to sell off its Gaylord hotel brand and management company to Marriott International Inc. for $210 million and reorganize itself as a real estate investment trust (REIT).

Both Aurora and Colorado state officials have offered the company millions of dollars in incentives packages to build the Aurora complex.

> From our Nashville sister paper: Gaylord shrugging off downturn with Marriott deal

But the state tax subsidy package, approved May 18 by the Colorado Economic Development Commission under the state's Regional Tourism Act program, was smaller than Gaylord had sought for the project, and Gaylord had signaled it might end the project if it didn't get the full amount of subsidy it had sought.

The Aurora project has been controversial, with backers -- including Aurora's leaders -- saying it would bring significant new convention business into Colorado, and downtown Denver interests saying it would draw away some of their existing convention business.

In a statement early Thursday, Gaylord said that "the company will adjust its investment approach on the Aurora, Colorado hotel and convention center project."

Frontier Airlines flies with more seats full as it cuts regional flights

Frontier Airlines’ overall passenger total declined 15 percent in July from the same month a year earlier, reflecting its recent efforts to cut back on short-hop regional flights, while 93 percent of its seats flew full, a 14th consecutive monthly record, the Denver-based carrier reported Wednesday.

Overall passenger tallies declined 15 percent in July from a year earlier, to 1,270,621, with passenger counts down 44 percent on regional flights and down 3 percent on “mainline” routes.

Frontier now flies more than four times as many passengers on mainline routes as on regional flights.

Frontier flew 1,211,600 passengers in June and 1,147,058 passengers in May.

The airline’s load factor — the percentage of its available seats actually used by passengers — rose by 1 percentage point in July from a year earlier, to 93 percent, higher than most airlines. Load factor also was 93 percent in June and was 90 percent in May.

Frontier’s revenue passenger miles, or RPMs — the number of paying passengers times miles flown, a commonly used yardstick of airline passenger traffic — fell 8 percent in July from a year earlier, to 1.173 billion, the airline reported. RPMs rose 2 percent for mainline flights and fell 44 percent for regional trips.

And the airline’s capacity — a measure of the seats available to carry passengers, expressed as available seat miles — declined 8 percent in July, to 1.263 billion.

Much of the passenger decline was due to Frontier taking seats out of the air on short-hop flights.

Frontier has been aggressively cutting flights to and from Milwaukee, a hub it inherited when it merged with Milwaukee-based Midwest Airlines. Frontier is now refocusing on its traditional Denver hub.

The airline is the No. 3 carrier at Denver International Airport by domestic market share, just behind Southwest Airlines, with United Airlines the DIA leader, according to airport data.

Frontier is a unit of Indianapolis-based Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: RJET).

Hickenlooper signs enterprise-zone reform; other business bills on deck

Industries & Tags
Health Care

Nearly a year of discussions on whether reform of Colorado’s enterprise-zone program is needed culminated Wednesday with Gov. John Hickenlooper signing a bill that caps the amount of investment tax credits that large companies can take in such zones.

The measure also increases other types of tax credits available to all businesses in those poor and rural areas.

After signing House Bill 1142 into law at a morning ceremony at the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, the Democratic governor also was expected to sign business bills in the afternoon that create a $17.5 million grant program for advanced industries and allow businesses looking to make community service a key part of their mission to register as benefit corporations.

He also is scheduled to sign a bill this afternoon that will create a standard prior-authorization form designed to speed insurance companies’ approval of new or pricey drugs prescribed by doctors.

The enterprise-zone program, developed in 1986 to offer tax credits to businesses that located in what otherwise might be considered unattractive locations, has come under attack from legislative Democrats in recent years, who have accused it of being a tax giveaway for large companies that don’t create jobs.

Economic-development directors around the state, meanwhile, have defended it as one of their few tools to offer to companies considering locating in Colorado versus other, deeper-pocketed states.

Business groups and Democrats worked with Hickenlooper’s office in 2012 to form a task force to look at what changes could be made to the program.

Business and policy groups on the task force reached a compromise and recommended capping investment tax credits at $1 million a year but expanding the amount of money for tax credits for hiring employees, training new workers and offering health insurance to workforces at companies located in the zones.

But when House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, a Gunbarrel Democrat who sponsored HB 1142, lowered the cap to $750,000 a year — albeit with a 14-year carry-forward for any unused tax credits, business organizations pulled their support and Republicans unsuccessfully fought the bill.

Five things you need to know about The Source

Industries & Tags
Food & Lifestyle

Though it’s been open for just five weeks and many of its tenants are still moving in, The Source already is creating a ton of buzz around Denver.

Developer Kyle Zeppelin has turned an 1880s iron foundry into a 26,000-square-foot community marketplace with 15 independent shops and restaurants, including a butcher, a baker and a craft beer maker. The idea is to create a place where city dwellars can gather and out-of-towners can visit to see the spirit of small, unique food and drink artisans for which the surrounding River North neighborhood is becoming known.

There is much to be explored in the facility, which Zeppelin hopes soon will be filled fully with shops. But here’s a few things particularly interesting about the new development from the guy who brought Denver the Taxi office park, among other areas.

1. The Source will have one of the first off-premises distillery tasting rooms in Denver.

State law allows beer, wine and spirit makers to have tasting rooms away from their main production facilities, but no fewer hard-liquor companies have taken advantage of that provision. That will change with the coming opening of the CapRock Farm Bar, situated squarely in the middle of The Source.

At the CapRock Farm Bar at The Source, however, Peak Spirits Farm Distillery in Hotchkiss will serve its fresh-from-farm products, including gin, vodka and brandies. It also will serve a variety of juices made from its farm for the morning crowd.

Getting the new bar licensed required painting a blue line around it, outside of which people can’t take alcoholic drinks. But Zeppelin thinks it will be a draw at all hours of the day.

“It’s not just the distillates that are going to be featured,” he said during a tour of the facility at 3350 Brighton Blvd. on Friday. “It’s all the relationships they have with the surrounding farms.”

2. Merchants at The Source want you to see where your food and beverages come from.

Despite flurry of layoffs, positive signs emerge in Shelby County work force

After a fairly quiet summer, layoff announcements across Shelby County have heated up in the past few weeks.

But even with layoff announcements from Louis Vuitton North America Inc., Hilton Hotels Corp. and American Snuff Co., businesses across the Memphis metro area have reason to be optimistic.

Shelby County businesses reported 232 layoffs to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development in June, July and August. No layoffs were reported in the metro area’s other Tennessee counties.

By comparison, Nashville’s metro area — including Davidson, Rutherford and Williamson counties — lost 2,988 jobs in the same period. Knox County lost 360 and Hamilton 284.

The state department produces a weekly report, in compliance with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The act requires employers with 100 or more employees that are laying off one-third or more of their work force, or closing a location, to give a 60-day notice of the closure or mass layoff. Tennessee enhanced that requirement to include all layoffs of 50 or more people.

The state-produced WARN report isn’t a comprehensive look at the layoff picture, as it doesn’t require all companies to report layoffs, and staggered layoffs or transfers aren’t included. But the report does offer some indication that job losses at least have slowed considerably, says Jeff Hentschel, communications director for the state labor department.

“During the peak of the recession we were seeing a great deal more layoffs than we’re seeing now, which is a good sign,” Hentschel says.

The 232 Shelby County layoffs break down like this: 51 at Louis Vuitton, 36 at Hilton, 45 at American Snuff and 100 at Cummins Inc. Vuitton, Hilton and American Snuff reported within the past two weeks while Cummins reported in July.

Vuitton is moving its distribution operations to New Jersey and closing its 140,000-square-foot warehouse on East Holmes Road. The move should be completed by November.

“In order to better serve our clients, we decided to expand our distribution centers with two warehouses, one on the West Coast and one on the East Coast,” according to a statement from Vuitton.

"Guns, sex & racial suicide. And that's just chapter  1."  - Alon Ziv (Author: Breeding Between the Lines)

In his candid and moving memoir, Black Passenger Yellow Cabs: Of Exile and Excess in Japan, Stefhen Bryan conveys an incredible journey from a childhood of third-world poverty to an adulthood of sexual addiction in the Land of the Rising Sun.  A self-acknowledged sex addict with a predilection for East and Southeast Asian women, Bryan moved to Japan in April 2001 for the sole purpose of indulging his addiction.

His riveting narrative is earning high praise for melding lyrical eroticism with insightful explorations into the societal and cultural mores of contemporary Japan.  Bryan includes detailed historical and statistical analysis of Japanese culture and customs, in addition to what one reviewer calls “sex research that would make Kinsey proud.”

But more than an account of ribald exploits, sexual addiction and compulsivity, Black Passenger Yellow Cabs delves into the psychological origins of Bryan’s addiction, his struggles with depression and suicidal ideations and his ultimate triumph over a compulsion that controlled his life for almost four decades.

Interracial relationships, promiscuity and patriarchy are among the many topics Bryan discusses with candor and humor. From the dirty streets of a Jamaica that tourists never see to a pastoral Japan, Bryan takes the reader on an eye-opening journey of discovery.
