Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please check below to see what upcoming adoption events I will be attending or apply here for a private meeting. If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <email@example.com> ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!
- DOB: 03/24/2022
- Requires another dog in home: Yes, a confident/friendly dog
- Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes
- Okay with cats: Unknown
- Okay with children under 12 years old: No, very shy
- Weight: 7 pounds
- Requires a fenced yard: YesNote: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs.
Hello, my name is Koro! I am a very handsome albeit trembly and shy male puppy. I have not met any cats or kids, and I am very timid around adults, I don’t like a lot of commotion, loud noises like thunderstorms, quick or sudden movements, or balls and toys being thrown so I don’t think younger kids are a good fit for me. Although I am usually quiet, I will bark if something alarms me so hopefully my new home will be a quiet one. That said, foster mom is trying to expose me to different situations, noises, and new surroundings so hopefully, with time, I will overcome some of my fears.
I enjoy playing with my resident fur sibs; chewing on everything (mom’s always careful about what ends up on the floor - hee, hee); cuddling with socks and stuffed toys; sleeping; and hanging out in my kennel/crate as long as the door is open. I do, however, admit that I am not a fan of the kennel when the door is closed, and I will go potty in there so hopefully my new family will be home with me most of the time! Other than the kennel, I only do my business on a potty pad, and I don’t have any real leash experience so my new yard will need a fence around it. By the way, I almost forgot to mention that I also love getting pets from my people…that is, of course, if they can catch me! Hee, hee!!
I really am a sweet little boy who simply wants to be unconditionally loved fur-ever by a patient family who will NEVER give up on me. Yes, I may be fearful and trembly, but I just need to find my special someone who will help me feel safe and who will allow me to shower them with all the love in my heart! Are YOU that special someone I’ve been dreaming about? Please be my new family! Love, Koro
**I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!
**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.
Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.
We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.

Thank you, Mr President.
The United Kingdom welcomes the Commission’s first report and their important work.
Since the conflict in northern Ethiopia began in November 2020, we have consistently called for three things.
First, for an immediate halt to the conflict, which has left over 13 million people in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. We are therefore extremely concerned by the return to war and the involvement once again of Eritrean forces, which will make finding a peaceful settlement more difficult.Second, for a negotiated political settlement between all sides, because it is clear that there is no prospect of a military solution. We welcome the Ethiopian Government’s public commitments to ending the conflict through dialogue, and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front’s willingness to begin peace talks. Now is the time for both parties to deliver on these commitments.
Lastly, we have repeatedly called for full, open and independent investigations into the appalling human rights violations and abuses committed by all sides. We welcome the conclusions of the Joint Investigation and the work of the Inter-Ministerial Task Force. The Commission’s work plays a vital role alongside these in ensuring accountability. We urge the Ethiopian Government to cooperate with the Commission, and to support the extension of its mandate.
We would welcome your views on key priorities over the coming year, in the hope that your mandate is extended.
Thank you, Mr President


President Joe Biden announced Thursday evening that he will direct states to make all adults eligible for the coronavirus vaccines by May 1.
"If we all do our part, this country will be vaccinated soon, our economy will be on the mend, our kids will be back in school, and we'll have proven once again that this country can do anything," Biden said.
Although significant progress is being made at the national level, there are concerns closer to home about ensuring equitable access to vaccines for D.C. residents. Read more below.
What the Data Shows
Recent metrics show cases in our region are rising slightly after a months-long trend of decline.
D.C.'s daily case rate, which was at 15 just a week ago is now back up to 22.7, squarely in the red zone indicating "substantial community spread."
Maryland's average test positivity has also started to increase slightly. It's now at 3.6% after reaching a low of 3.26% nine days ago.
Virginia, however, continues to show signs of improvement, with most metrics trending downward.
D.C. reported 154 new cases and no additional deaths. In Maryland, 990 new cases were reported and 16 people died. Virginia recorded 1,091 new cases and 52 deaths.
The seven-day average in our region appears to be increasing slightly, after weeks of consistent decline. D.C. is currently at 166 cases, Maryland is at an average of 829 and Virginia's seven-day average is down by 37 cases to 1,091.
Hospitalizations are down across the board. In Virginia, 925 people are currently hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19. Maryland has 765 hospitalized residents. In D.C., 153 people are hospitalized.
In Maryland, 788 people are hospitalized – down 13 from Wednesday. D.C.'s hospitalization count is up by three cases to 165.
Local Coronavirus Headlines
Almost 40% of DC's Shots Have Gone to Non-Residents
The News4 I-Team has been tracking the data and found despite older and medically vulnerable residents being eligible for vaccines for several weeks, 39.9% of the doses administered in the District have still gone to people who don't live there.
By comparison, only 2.5% of Virginia's vaccine doses are listed as having gone to out-of-state residents. An additional 7% were missing residency information.
Going forward, the District will prioritize 90% of its appointments for eligible residents only, officials say.
On a positive note, D.C.'s new preregistration system is working smoothly.
Nearly 80,000 people preregistered to receive COVID-19 vaccines within the city’s first day-and-a-half of using its new system, Mayor Muriel Bowser said Thursday.
D.C. has partially and fully vaccinated nearly 20,000 residents, the majority of which are senior citizens.
D.C. will send out more than 13,500 appointment notices Friday morning. Once residents receive those notices, they will have 48 hours to sign up for vaccine appointments.
Maryland Will Reopen at 100% Capacity, Prince George's County at 50%
Prince George's County will reopen at 50% starting on Friday at 5 p.m., Executive Angela Alsobrooks announced at a press conference Thursday.
Establishments including movie theaters, gyms, indoor dining, restaurants, banquet halls, receptions, meeting rooms and houses of worship will all be affected.
Indoor private gatherings are limited to a maximum of 20 people and outdoor gatherings are limited to a maximum of 50 people.
Mask wearing and other safety protocols will continue to be required in public places and public transportation.
Maryland will also lift capacity restrictions on restaurants, bars, religious facilities and gyms on Friday – however at 100% capacity.
Individual counties remain empowered to reopen or maintain restrictions based on their own metrics. Being one of the counties hardest hit by the pandemic, Alsobrooks chose not to fully reopen with the rest of the state.
“While we are not ready open as far as the rest of the state at this point, we are pleased by the information the health department is seeing, and our metrics tell us that we can safely do more than we are currently doing,” Alsobrooks said.
Alsobrooks expressed her optimism that the county is heading in the right direction, highlighting the declining case rate, infection rate and positivity rate.
Vaccinations are also up in the county. The county can now administer up to 15,000 vaccines per week. The health department is currently operating five vaccination clinics around the county.
Montgomery County to Announce Reopening Decision on Friday
Montgomery County will announce a decision today about how much it will loosen COVID-19 restrictions, now that the state of Maryland is moving into Phase 3. The County Council meets at 1:30pm and the County Executive is scheduled to hold a Zoom briefing at 2:30pm.
AMC Theaters in Prince George's To Open On March 19
AMC Theaters in PG will open on March 19, in accordance with Gov. Hogan’s capacity rules. Montgomery County theaters have yet to announce a reopening date as they await local guidelines.
Reopening on the 19th:
- AMC Academy 8
- AMC Center Park 8
- AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12
- AMC Rivertowne 12

Back to School in the D.C. Area
Many local school districts are looking toward the fall and bringing students back full time.
Montgomery, Fauquier and Arlington County public schools announced Thursday that they’re looking to return to in-person instruction five days a week, though families can choose to stay virtual.
Earlier this week, Loudoun County also announced plans to bring students back 5 days a week in the new school year.

How to Stay Safe
Anyone can get COVID-19. Here are three simple ways the CDC says you can lower your risk:
- Wear a snug-fitting mask that covers your nose and mouth.
- Avoid being indoors with people who are not members of your household. The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19. If you are indoors with people you don’t live with, stay at least six feet apart and keep your mask on.
- Wash your hands often, especially after you have been in a public place.

During his 15-year career as a Soviet spy, Swedish Air Force Colonel Stig WennerstrÖm sold the Russians some 160 of his nation's -ip defense secrets. The suavely handsome aviator, who held the secret rank of major general in the Red army, also spied on NATO, and during a five-year stint (1952-57) as an air attache in Washington handed his bosses information on the Polaris submarine, the Strategic Air Command, and U.S. nuclear weapons, which he was able to inspect on the assembly lines. Since his arrest a year ago, WennerstrÖm, now 57, has admitted most of the charges against him, but claimed to be an "idealist" whose only motive was "to preserve the peace and power balance of the world."
Last week, in Department Eight of Stockholm Magistrate's court, Wennerstrom was convicted on three counts of "gross espionage." He was stripped of his rankhis Swedish colonelcy, that isordered to pay the state $98,000 of some $200,000 that he received for his espionage work, and sentenced to life imprisonment. In Sweden this means that he will technically be eligible for parole in ten years. The full details of his career may never be known. The government allowed only 900 pages of the 3,700-page trial transcript to be published; nearly half of the court's 190-page judgment, also, was classified. If it contained any information that the Russians did not already have, it was through no fault of Stig WennerstrÖm.

In the hierarchy of Moody’s Investors Service’s standalone credit assessments, a ‘baa’ rating comes with the expectation that about one in 25 organisations with this profile “may fail or need support over a 10-year time horizon.”
That’s why there were some headshaking among CFOs and treasurers last week when the credit rating agency announced downgrades of 15 major banks with global capital markets operations
. The median standalone credit assessment of those financial groups, which include heavyweights such as HSBC, Citigroup, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, now stands at ‘baa2.’
However, the median long-term rating, which takes into account government and shareholder/group support, is ‘A2’ – the sixth highest grade in Moody’s 13-category ratings.
“We’re still assessing,” the CFO of a manufacturing company headquartered in Hong Kong told CFO Innovation. Like the other executives and bankers interviewed for this article, he requested anonymity to protect banking relationships and forestall investor and regulatory concerns.
A source at one of the 15 banking groups does expect some fallout. Some treasury governance policies specify that a counterparty to derivatives, hedging, foreign exchange and other contracts should have an ‘a’ standalone credit assessment. This bank’s standalone credit assessment has fallen to ‘baa2,’ although its long-term rating is ‘A2.’
The treasury governance policy can be changed to take into account the lowered ratings of many counterparties. But that’s something that must be decided by the risk committee and possibly at the board-level. In the meantime, financial risks must continue to be mitigated. The banks whose standalone credit assessment remained at the ‘a’ range might benefit at the expense of the ‘baa” ones.
Some companies might even rethink their panel of cash management and credit banking partners. “We want a long-term relationship with our banks,” explained one treasurer. If a bank is seen as potentially failing within ten years, its status within the panel of banking partners might be downgraded in favour of those with higher ratings.
Higher Cost of Capital
There are concerns as well about the higher cost of capital if the downgraded banks pass on the higher cost of doing business to customers. “These downgrades will increase the cost of doing business for banks, either through reduced, or more costly, access to funding or the need to lodge extra collateral with creditors,” Daiwa Capital Markets analyst Michael Symonds told Reuters.
Before its long-term rating was downgraded two notches from A1 to A3, Morgan Stanley warned in its first-quarter report that a downgrade by major credit rating agencies to A3 could cost it US$6.7 billion, representing one-off collateral and termination payments to counterparties.
Goldman Sachs estimated the hit of a two-notch downgrade at US$2.2 billion (Moody’s cut its long-term rating two notches from Aa3 to A2). For its part, Bank of America said a one-notch cut – Moody’s downgraded its long-term rating one notch from A2 to A3 – would cost it US$2.7 billion.

Exploring 'Samoaness' in the Samoan language film The Orator (O Le Tulafale)
2012 (English)In: The Proceedings Book of ISLC 2012, Turkey, 2012, 1839-1847 p.Conference paper, Presentation (Refereed)
The Pacific nation of the Independent Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) is not known for having a developed film industry. In 2011, a Samoan languge film called The Orator (O le Tulafale) placed the spotlight on Samoa, its people, and the Samoan culture when it became the country’s first ever film to be accepted into major international film festivals such as the 68th Venice Film Festival. Samoans the world over have embraced the film for its richness, compassion, and authenticity. Yet at times, the film portrays the Samoan culture as harsh and cruel. Samoans are usually quick to criticise negative portrayals of their culture but the thousands of comments on the film’s official Facebook page show otherwise. From April 2011 to March 2012, there were only 11 comments criticising the film on Facebook, and these criticisms were denounced as ‘un-Samoan’. This raised the question as to why Samoans did not react to the unflattering portrayals of their culture, but instead react against legitimate criticisms of the film. By using Foucault’s concept of heterotopia and the Samoan narrative structure of fāgogo, a heterotopia space and a utopia space are created in which past memories confirming Samoan cultural identity and bonds to the culture are evoked and are (re)experienced by Samoans while viewing the film. Thus the film’s ability to encourage this is what Samoans praise rather than the actual film.

Carter Ray has vowed off men. She and her daughter, Jellybean, have found refuge in the mostly female-populated town of Helen’s Corner. She wants nothing to do with the visiting wolf shifter, despite his wickedly delicious scent that drives her bear into a frenzy.
The last thing Alec Patterson expected to find in the small southwestern town was his mate. Now, what’s he supposed to do with his fiancée?
NOTE: In the late 1800’s, on a homestead in New Mexico, a female shifter named Helen Cartwright was widowed under mysterious circumstances. Helen knew there was power in the feminine bonds of sisterhood, and she provided an oasis for those like herself, female shifters who had been dealt the short end of the stick. Like magic, women have flocked to the tiny town of Helen’s Corner ever since. Although, nowadays, some call the town by another name, Hell’s Crazy Corner.

Hens will typically start to lay eggs when they're five or six months old, and based on the breed, will lay anywhere from 200 to 300 eggs annually. However, training them to use chicken nesting boxes might not always be the easiest thing in the world.
Whether you're a first-time chicken owner or you're a seasoned veteran, sometimes it takes a little coaxing to get your hens comfortable with their nest boxes. Here are a few simple things you can do to help train your chickens to lay in their nest boxes.
Have Enough Chicken Nesting Boxes
Typically one nesting box per four chickens is enough to keep them comfortable enough to lay. Overcrowding your coop with nest boxes might not be the best idea, as you still want your chickens to have enough space to live and roam comfortably.
Use a Nest Egg for Training
A simple golf ball or ceramic egg from your local supply store can make a huge difference in training your chickens. Placing the "egg" in a nest box can give your hens the idea that the nest box is where they're supposed to lay, as there's already an egg there.
Practice Mid-Morning Releases
Chickens will typically lay early in the morning, and keeping them confined until mid-morning can help ensure that the majority of their laying is complete before they wander the lawn and decide to lay eggs in the grass somewhere.
Make Nest Boxes Safe
Your chicken coop nesting boxes should be in a dimly lit, quiet area of the coop. Hens, like many other birds, have the instinct to lay their eggs in a safe, quiet space. In addition, your nest boxes should be a few inches off of the ground.
Keep the Boxes Clean
If you're happier when your home is clean, it makes sense that a chicken would be happier in a clean coop. Cleaning your nest boxes and replenishing the bedding frequently can ensure that your chickens always feel comfortable and relaxed while they're inside of the coop.
No matter the kind of chickens you're raising, these tips will definitely help them get more comfortable laying eggs in the nest boxes.

AP photo of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin)
(DETROIT FREE PRESS) - Kid Rock's ready to let his free flag fly, again.
A news release Sunday announced that the bad boy rocker from Romeo is expected to be on hand to support Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan at a rally tonight in Oakland County. The free event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at Oakland University's Athletics Center O'rena in Rochester.
Rock, who supported the Wisconsin representative back at a GOP fund-raising event at the Oakland Hills Country Club in August and then followed up with an encore at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, told MTV last week that he's fed up with all of the political correctness he sees during the ongoing election cycle.
"People are so angry at each other for their viewpoints. You know, yeah, I'm a little right-wing," Rock says. "I'm gonna vote for Mitt Romney, but that's where my politics end."
Rock is not just firing up his base for the Nov. 6 election, but also prepping fans for his new record, "Rebel Soul," which is due Nov. 19. He says that people's differences shouldn't be condemned but celebrated.
"If you're not (going to vote for Romney), it's OK, we can still have a conversation and be friends and maybe enlighten each other on some views," Rock tells MTV. "I think thinking differently is what made this country great."

Wow! Is it Friday already? Welcome back to another Sweet Inspiration Link Party 🙂
I don’t know about you, but this week has just flown by! It might be the temperature (it’s getting cooler here) or my sleep patterns (deeper and more restful) or it just might be that I’m looking forward to seeing hubby return home after working overseas (soon, very soon!). Either way, it’s been a great week for me – and, I hope, for you too 🙂
I’m feeling refreshed and energized and looking forward to some ‘craftivities’ and weekend play – which includes the Sweet Inspiration Link Party 🙂
The Party Details
The party starts on Fridays 11am EST/ 4pm GMT and runs until Tuesday 11am EST/4pm GMT. By joining us every week you will be able to grow your blog and gather inspiration from so many others who link up to the party. I hope you will join us every week to share and inspire others with your projects and creations.
Check Out What Your Co-Hosts Have Been Up To:
Our Favourites From Last Week’s Party:
Never has the expression ‘a little goes a long way’ been more appropriate than for this dresser makeover by Pat from The Wood Spa By Pat Rios. A subtle mint paint finish and basic knob changes are all this project needed to transform this piece into a real stunner!
Mary says: Patrick of Adventures in Weseland takes us on a tour of the San Francisco Airport Museum. And boy did it bring back memories. Who remembers BOAC airlines or am I such a relic? Very cool, our airport museum only has ancient statues and vases.

Chicken is one of the favorite meat of Filipinos. We have different recipe for chicken. We have the traditional fried chicken, roasted chicken, chicken tinola, and afritada to name a few. However, I guess, fried and roasted chicken recipes are among our favorite.
In our household, we usually eat roasted chicken bought from one of the local rotisserie near are home. It’s our go to food whenever we are too lazy to cook. I both love fried and roasted chicken. Fried chicken has its distinct crispy skin which everyone loves, while roasted chicken has this extra smoky flavor added to the chicken.
Another way to cook chicken similar to that of roasting is pinaupong manok. Pinaupong manok which literally means seated chicken is cook in a pot with thick bed of salt inside. The chicken is placed inside the pot and cooked under low to medium heat. The salt acts as an insulator and emits steam that will helps in cooking the chicken. It’s like baking using your trusted stove.
My mom already marinated the chicken with soy sauce marinate and left it in the fridge overnight. I added a couple of tablespoons of Italian seasoning into the salt for added flavor. This pinaupong manok recipe gives the chicken that distinct hint of smoky flavor which you can achieve by roasting or grilling the chicken.
Pair your pinaupong manok with fresh tomato salsa and chili soy sauce sauce. If you are worried that the chicken will be too salty because of the too much salt, do not worry. This pinaupong manok recipe will take about an hour and a half to cook. The result is a fork tender and juicy chicken.
Just another tip, lay some banana leaves on the salt before placing the chicken, which I realized when the chicken was cooked. This will prevent the chicken from sticking to the salt.
|1 whole dressed chicken|
|4 Tablespoons||Soy Sauce|
|4 Tablespoons||Oyster Sauce|
|4 Tablespoons||Calamansi Juice|
|1 tablespoon||Italian Seasoning|
|6 cloves||Garlic, chopped|
|1 bulb||Onion, chopped|
|3 thumb-sized||Ginger, smashed|
|1 teaspoon||Italian Seasoning|
|3 – 4 cups||Salt, depending on the size of your pot|
|2 Tablespoons||Italian Seasoning|
Thoroughly clean the chicken.
Combine marinade in a bowl. Set aside.
Combine the Stuffings and stuffed into the chicken. Drizzle the chicken with the marinade. Also pour some of the marinade inside of the chicken. Marinate overnight.
Bring out the chicken from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Combine salt and Italian seasoning. Place the salt mixture in pot. Put the banana leaf on top of the salt. Place the chicken and cover. Cook over low heat for an 1 hour and 20 minutes. Increase heat to medium high for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is golden brown.
Served with fresh tomato salsa and soy sauce dipping sauce.

John C. Lampen, Clerk of Clinton County, and a prominent citizen of Carlyle, was born in Germantown, Ill., February 8, 1852. He is of German parentage, his father, Henry, having been born in Oldenburg, Germany, and there reared to years of maturity. At the age of twenty years, in the year 1838, he crossed the Atlantic to America, and after landing proceeded to Pennsylvania, where he settled in Allegheny City. Two years later he journeyed westward to Illinois, and arriving in Clinton County, settled upon a farm about four miles east of Germantown. He was numbered among the earliest settlers of this section of the state, and at the time of coming here, he found the country in a primeval condition, without improvements and with few settlers save the Indians.
After having cleared his land, Henry Lampen proceeded to the task of tilling the soil and placing the property under improvement. Some years later he sold the place, and purchasing a farm adjoining Germantown one-half mile to the north, he settled there and made it his home for three years. Moving to the village of Germantown, he engaged in the general mercantile business, becoming one of the pioneer merchants of the place. For sixteen years he served as Justice of the Peace and was a stanch Democrat in his political opinions. He erected the first flour mill in Germantown and conducted that enterprise in partnership with Dr. KLEINEKORTE and Henry NIEMEYER until 1865, when Mr. Lampen disposed of his interest to the former gentleman. About 1868 he came to Carlyle, where he engaged in merchandising until 1887. His remaining days were passed in retirement, and at a good old age he passed from earth, September 14, 1890.
In Allegheny, Pa., Henry Lampen was united in marriage with Miss Helen WINKLER, who died leaving two children. One alone survives, Mrs. Mary LANG, a resident of Carlyle. In November of 1840 Mr. Lampen married Margaret WOESTMANN, a native of Germany, and of their union two children were born, John C. and Eliza. The latter married Herman KOCH and is now deceased. The former, our subject, was reared in Germantown and attended the schools of that village prior to the age of thirteen years. He then entered St. Joseph's College, in Teutopolis, Effingham County, Ill., where he conducted his literary researches for two years.
Upon leaving college, Mr. Lampen assisted his father in his mercantile establishment until 1882, when he was appointed Deputy County Clerk under Louis Elwang. He resigned that position in 1890 in order to accept the office of County Clerk, in which capacity he has since served with honor to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the people, irrespective of political views. For years he has been one of the active workers in the Democratic party in this city, and has frequently served as a delegate to local and state conventions. At the present time (1894) he is a candidate for re-election as County Clerk, and the service rendered has proved so satisfactory in the past, that it is safe to predict that his political opponent will not find him an easy man to defeat.
June 10, 1884, occurred the marriage of John C. Lampen and Miss Christina SCHULTE, of St. Louis, Mo. This lady was born in Germany, and in girlhood accompanied her father, Bernard Schulte, to America, growing to womanhood in St. Louis. She is the mother of five children, all living, as follows: Paul Henry, John Bernard, Helen M., Joseph C. and Aloiz N. Mr. and Mrs. Lampen are identified with the Roman Catholic Church, and he is identified with the Knights of Honor. He is one of the most intelligent men and efficient officials in the county. His energy of character and the upright life that has been led by him, alike gain the high regard of all who know him, and all rejoice in his prosperity.

EDUCATION POLITICS-When New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg spent half a million dollars to kick Steve Zimmer off the LA School Board, Zimmer (photo above) picked up the phone. In a departure from his self-described “conflict averse” nature, he wanted to pitch his version of collaborative school reform to the “education mayor.”
The staffer screening the call told Zimmer that Bloomberg didn’t know who he was.
Sure he did. He just donated half a million dollars to beat me, Zimmer explained.
But the aide insisted.
Bloomberg, along with other billionaires, were disrupting public education. Anybody who wasn’t with them was facelessly labeled as the status quo.
That was four years ago. With the help of the teachers’ union and a small army of grassroots activists, the massive infusions of cash were understood as attacks on their community. Zimmer prevailed.
Last month, in a redo of the most expensive school board race in history, Zimmer lost to a candidate backed by the billionaire boys club, Nick Melvoin.
What changed in four years? That's an important question to anyone contending with the deep pocketed privatizers in future elections.
Los Angeles is the biggest school district in the country that still elects its school board. That makes it harder to control by so-called education reformers, who seek to dismantle the public school system in order to create a marketplace of school choices, shifting billions of dollars in public moneys into private hands. Investment in elections here can pay huge dividends.
But the lessons to learn from Zimmer's defeat and the sweeping takeover of the LAUSD school board by charter school backers can apply anywhere.
Public Schools Are Micro-Climates
Los Angeles has been described, not so much as a city, but a collection of communities, each with its own unique identity. Its schools are sprawled across 700 square miles: urban pockets of extreme poverty, areas of extreme wealth, and a lot in between.
Of the seven school board seats, none encompasses as diverse a range of communities as the seat held by Zimmer for the last eight years, Board District 4.
If all politics are local, then maybe public schools are micro-climates, being such an integral part of a family’s daily existence.
Last election cycle, the Westside suburbs are where Zimmer won. It’s where the highest propensity of voters live, and it’s where a gaggle of activists have helped instill parent confidence in public schools. This time, charter backers set up a structure to organize parents, matching the union’s greatest strength -- pavement pounding activists.
Also since the last election, botched interventions at some schools created coalitions of constituents that had nothing in common other than frustrations with Zimmer, who has never really been comfortable on the Westside.
Those frustrations extended to a school district bureaucracy perceived as out of touch, geographically and philosophically. It wasn’t always that way, and several retired LAUSD leaders are well-respected members of Westside communities. On the rare occasions that Westsiders encounter the district “suits” now, they are seen as more of an obstruction than a support. Some school communities have pursued methods of autonomy, making the case that schools are better off on their own.
No school makes a stronger case for that than Palisades Charter High, a converted LAUSD school in an affluent neighborhood overlooking the Pacific Ocean. One of its former board members, Allison Holdorff Polhill, made a strong showing in the primary election and threw her support behind Melvoin. Her constituents followed. Public education activists will attribute this to them both being backed by the charter lobby, but their Westside connection is what coalesced their constituencies.
Melvoin grew up on the Westside.
California ranks near last in per pupil funding, thanks to a decades old property tax cap. That’s a staggering drop from the Golden Age of public education during which the Golden State was near the top -- the time when a lot of current LAUSD parents attended public schools themselves.
What happened since then to let California schools sink so low? Nick Melvoin’s whole campaign was a part-fictional story of how Steve Zimmer was to blame.
Zimmer was constantly on the defensive. He fessed up to taking money from wealthier parts of the district to fund poorer parts. As a constituent who closely followed Zimmer’s board tenure, I had never heard him explain it in zero sum terms. To the contrary, he usually told a story of “all for one and one for all.” Now, he was almost asking voters to sacrifice their own kids’ education for others.
Melvoin tapped into frustration with austerity plans held over from the recession -- implemented by his own supporters -- while at the same time slamming Zimmer for fiscal mismanagement.
Melvoin’s promise essentially amounted to making Los Angeles schools great again. But the assertion that Melvoin was Trump-lite mostly fell on deaf ears. LA’s Westside was full of proud Democrats and Melvoin was endorsed by Obama’s Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. Lost on most voters were subtleties like Duncan’s neoliberal education reforms being so unpopular that Congressional Democrats agreed to strip the Education Secretary’s post of most of its power.
“Indivisible” groups did not clarify the situation either. Two Westside affiliates of the national movement to call out Democrats for being too moderate refused to allow posts about the school board election for fear of being divisive.
The Gig Economy
Gentrification changed the electorate. Coined Silicon Beach because so many tech companies now call it home, the Westside’s adopted model of disruption seemed tailor-made to receive Melvoin’s message of easy fixes unencumbered by convention. Call it Melvoin’s Uber to Zimmer’s taxi cabs.
Zimmer’s campaign was run by a longtime teachers’ union insider. To voters, their explanation that “labor peace” was essential to moving schools forward seemed beside the point. This disconnect culminated in his election night event, which was like a labor rally replete with union chants. In the land of Snapchat, Google, and Hulu bikes, they were speaking a foreign language.
There were other moves that dumbfounded voters. UTLA mailed a letter telling voters the union would check up on whether they had voted. This reinforced Melvoin’s point that the union was pushing parents around. The LA Times reported the backlash from a similar “vote shaming” letter which no one claimed credit for sending.
I asked UTLA president Alex Caputo Pearl how the union tailored its efforts for Westside voters. As a union ally, I cringed when he told me UTLA was proud of its work with parents and community organizations, and it would continue.
He said Zimmer ran a great campaign, but was outspent.
“If money is the mother’s milk of politics, absentee ballots are the meat and potatoes,” former LAUSD school board member, David Tokofsky, told me. “Maybe they’re vegetarian.”
He was referring to the fact that no mailers were timed with absentee ballots, and Zimmer’s campaign offices opened a mere five weeks before the election. That barely left time to contact voters before they received absentee ballots, which was how over 60% of the votes were cast.
Zimmer might have lacked comparable resources to share his story, but it seems his version for voters was never crafted at all. He mostly played defense. In debates, he explained how supportive he was of charters and choice, clouding the narrative of being a public school champion.
“The progressive case for public education was never made,” Joshua Leibner, National Board Certified Teacher, told me.
Rather, his campaign was by and for LAUSD’s old guard.
Although Zimmer conceded that Melvoin’s campaign was focused, he believes money prevailed.
“The most important thing that money did was to enable them to win an election without having to debate any of the issues,” he told me on the phone.
It might be more accurate to say that their money allowed them to choose the issues to be debated.
Melvoin’s campaign refrain was, “Parents want good schools, whether they’re traditional, pilot, magnet or charter.”
That seemed to resonate, but it obscured an agenda Melvoin’s backers have spent years and millions of dollars advancing, one that Trump's education secretary Betsy DeVos shares: the school choice marketplace not just as the means, but as the goal. It’s hard to tell if voters realize the privatizing camel’s nose is inside the tent.
Melvoin said that’s not the case.
“I made it very clear that I was not a shill for the charter movement,” he told me a week after the election. “I think the reason the philanthropists have been investing in charters is that they see it as a more efficient route to reform.”
“They knew that if it was really about charter schools, they would lose,” Zimmer said. “They don’t have a mandate.”
They may not have a mandate for charters, but a fourteen point margin of defeat of an incumbent school board president is likely to be interpreted as a mandate for something.
As one LAUSD school administrator told me, “This is an absolute rebuke of LAUSD leadership. Of the board, of the district, of the union. Voters want better schools.”
Melvoin’s deep-pocketed backers are sure to insist that that means charters. But jumping to that conclusion ignores the complexities that voters grappled with in this election, and the fact that they were not offered a clear alternative.
Making that progressive case for public education needs to start now.

A big crowd turned out Tuesday for a discussion about legislation that would stop local police from checking someone's immigration status without cause in Howard County.
The bill specifically blames President-elect Donald Trump for fueling the controversy, which was on display during a packed meeting of the Howard County Council.
A sea of red shirts displayed by those opposed to the sanctuary bill filled the Howard County Council.
“Why do we have to find common ground?” resident Dave Dobbs asked. “The law says you're not supposed to be in America illegally."

Ratings and Reviews
I was very critical of the earlier app refresh, but this version nailed it. I changed my rating from 2 to 5 stars. Everything I would expect in a modern app was included. Nice job!!
While it was great that the app finally incorporated touch ID login, it is crazy that it doesn't automatically pop up when the app is opened. To make the user click on a button to bring up touch ID seems like it was designed by a person that has never used touch ID. And what's up with the big clunky boxes on the "more" options? Just make them look more aesthetically appealing and fit them all in the screen. Better yet, put the log out button in the app so you don't have to go to a different screen to log out. Look at other apps and think about all of those buttons and where they should be and how they look.
New App Is Better But
The new updated app is better than the old one but it still lacks basic features I find on my other financial apps. The instant balance is a nice feature but it is as many steps to get to as actually logging into the app with finger ID so I find it useless. When I forget to log out upon exit I then receive and error message when I go back into the app next time that I MUST click OK on to get past - I do not care that I exited out improperly the app did its job and timed out my session please just let me log back in. I have not compared to online but the new app tracks transactions different than the old app - I have transactions that are shown as completed only to log in a day or two later and they are back to pending and debit transactions seem to take 3-5 days to clear where in the past it was by the next day. Basically it’s the old app with a facelift and fingerprint ID log in added.
So now since the update a couple of weeks ago when I log out and wait for it to go back to the log in / instant balance screen and then close totally out of the app and then I go back in the next time it tells me that my session has timed out due to inactivity - what what? I LOGGED OUT PROPERLY!!
I spent 22 years in Minneapolis having been from Southern California. When I moved there in 1990 I opened a checking account at the local bank on the West Bank, the Riverside Bank. Associated Bank eventually bought this small bank and I stayed with them. I moved back to California when I was ready to retire and kept my banking with Associated. They have always shown great customer service and I don’t feel like a number but rather a valued customer. I will continue to bank with them. I like their mid West values, great customer service and it is no problem living 2000 miles away. Keep up the great work you all do

It is no new fact that traveling is one of the most common hobbies which any individual holds in one’s heart. But what many people are unaware of, is the fact that travel is such a passion which you can fulfill in just about any way. For an adrenaline junkie, the best fruits of traveling experience perhaps comes from a risky bungee jump off a high cliff or skydiving from a high altitude airplane. Whereas for a family guy who is the part of the coding team of an IT MNC, it might be a bus trip through the country side. And in case of even other sets of travelers like that of the hippies, their primary choice in travel would be to visit Nepal and spend a summer over there preparing to scale the high altitude Himalayan peaks.
It cannot simply be argued that for a regular guy like most of you out there whose life mostly revolves around home, office, dropping your kid at the school gate and so on, a bus trip is perhaps the most well suited traveling option. According to the Diamond Tours Reviews, bus tourism conducted by the tour company can be called most likely as one of the much popular traveling option in the US. And here are just some reasons why people always chooses bus trips over any:
1. Nothing can beat a bus tour when it comes to the aspect of scenic beauty. Managing to get a window seat in a tour bus is much more lucrative than managing one in a plane. Usually a tour bus takes a path which is much beaten and off the road, this ensures that the tourist s on board can get a taste of nature in all its freshness. The US landscapes are just about one of the most exotic in the whole world. Therefore as a result, these journeys often takes one through diverse mountainous terrains and scenic panoramas which includes just about any natural habitat like lakes, cities, forests, city lights, making one’s traveling experience as memorable than ever.

Deliver software at the
DevOps work on demand
We build infrastructure solutions, we write the server configuration management code that describes how things should work. This way you are able to build and deploy at scale by reducing manual updates to a minimum.
speed of business
We bring new tools, new skills, and a whole new mindset.
We focus on automation by automating code testing, infrastructure, and workflows, while continuously measuring application performance. The way this works is by slicing the work into small chunks, taking only hours (usually) to integrate, test, monitor, and deploy, versus the traditional way of writing large pieces of software over weeks and then spend other weeks (or months even) with testing.
By breaking applications down into their smallest components we make speed happen. If things go wrong—and they surely will—only that small component is rolled back or updated (rolled forward). In this context, recovering from failure quickly is swift and smooth, while teams building other components can continue delivery.
Make speed happen
Source Code Control
We bring you cloud-native, microservices architecture
The future of software development is deployment of “code” at any time/all the time. Deployment may happen daily, weekly, monthly, or even quarterly. Faster software delivery is now achieved by collaborative teams with the goal of continuous innovation.
If you want to build a resilient system with speed, quality, and security there's only one natural move you need to towards: a cloud-native, microservices architecture.
Here's how we can make speed happen
We assign Senior DevOps engineers team to work on your app or project
In the onboarding process, we first do a system review and "sit by the table" with your IT team. You plan, design, and develop your application or updates to an already existing application and send us the code. We then test, deploy, and review the application before sending it to production. Then we continuously monitor performance to make sure your users never experience downtime.
We build infrastructure that makes speed, quality, and security possible
Build cloud-native and microservices infrastructure
To build a resilient system with speed, quality, and security requires a natural shift towards a cloud-native, microservices architecture. Automation in terms of code testing, infrastructure, workflows, following the “automate everything” optics will take you places. Deployments are naturally faster and more frequent. Consequently, this reflects positively in any business model, reducing the probability of bottlenecks to occur, ultimately solving problems.

This looks like a very-very wrong way to address the problem.
Instead of resolving the problem it will hide it on some requests
(but not on others), making the problem harder to detect and debug.

Since its launch only 5 years ago, the North Coast 500 has been firmly on the to-do list of most campers and caravanners. The appeal of the route is obvious: no motorways, stunning scenery, a quieter pace of life and the chance to explore one of the UK’s most unspoiled corners. If you’re one of the many who have a hankering for the Highland scenery of the NW500, here’s everything you need to know.
What is the North Coast 500?
If you’ve heard others in the motorhome community raving about the North Coast 500 but you’re not very sure what it’s all about, don’t panic. The North Coast 500 is a circular drive around the very top of the British mainland. The 516 mile route starts and finishes in Inverness. Most visitors start by heading west, across to the west coast of Scotland and north through the beautiful scenery of Applecross, Torridon and Lochinver. Then back east along the north coast passing Durness and Thurso, before making a southerly turn at John O’Groats and back to Inverness. The coastal scenery ranks the route among some of the world’s best driving experiences. It is of course possible to drive the entire route in a weekend bur most travellers prefer to take things a little slower, diverting off the main route to find a hidden beach, or climb a mountain or two.
NC500 – Get Planning in Advance!
The huge popularity of the North Coast 500 has taken many local businesses by surprise, and although the boom in visitor numbers is fantastic for the local economy, the difficulty for travellers is that campsites quickly get booked up at peak times. There are a couple of options for tackling this. You could get super-organised and plan your trip with military precision by researching campsites, drawing up a timetable and booking slots months in advance. This is probably the best course of action between June and September, when the weather is at its best (by Scottish standards) and campsites are busiest. If you’re visiting at other times of the year the alternative approach is just to take things as they come, but be prepared to divert off the main route to find a camping slot or B&B for the night depending on how many other drivers have had the same idea as you.
Another thing to consider is buying paper maps and guidebooks. We all rely a lot on smartphones and Google, but in many parts of the Highlands, especially out of towns, the signal is very patchy. Forget 5G or 4G, you’ll get 3G if you’re very lucky and will often struggle to get any signal at all.
North Coast 500 – the Practicalities
The North Coast 500 goes through some of the most sparsely populated areas of Scotland. You’re simply not going to find large supermarkets and 24 hour petrol stations once you’ve left Inverness. Being in a motorhome puts you at an advantage when it comes to people trying to carry everything they need for a week-long trip on a motorbike as you’ve plenty of space to stock up in the supermarket before heading off. That’s not to say there aren’t great little local food shops and artisan producers along the route, and there’s nothing better than stopping in a tiny village to stock up on freshly-baked bread and some local cheese for lunch. But having the basics with you makes a lot of sense. The same applies to fuel. It can be many miles from one petrol station to the next so if you’re running low and spot a petrol pump in the distance pull in – you might not make it to the next one! There are many online maps showing exactly where all the fuel stations and charging points for electric cars are located.
North Coast 500 – the Highlights
The North Coast 500 is as much about the journey itself as it is about racing from one spot to the next, but there are some journey highlights which it is definitely worth making time for.
- Applecross – this will be one of the first stops if you’re following the clockwise route from Inverness. It’s the perfect place to stop for a long lunch at one of the local pubs, and enjoy the great views across to Skye. There’s also a very good campsite at Applecross with the same amazing views, but booking in advance for this one is essential.
- Bealach na Ba (Pass of the Cattle) – no driving route would be complete without a winding mountain pass, and the Bealach Na Ba pass zig-zags up a mountainside from sea level to 625 metres. Don’t be tempted to stop in the road on the way up to take snaps; there’s a viewpoint with carpark at the top of the pass where you can leave the motorhome and get out to explore the scenery. Drivers of larger motorhomes, defined as those bigger than the standard VW T5 conversion, shouldn’t attempt this mountain pass and should take the alternative diversion instead.
- Gairloch – this extended village is one of the largest settlements on the west coast, and is a great place to stop and stock up with essentials before moving on. Just out of the village is Big Sand beach and campsite, with lots of parking spaces for motorhomes, showers, washing machines and tumble dryers.
- Corrieshalloch Gorge – the gorge is well-signposted off the road between Gairloch and Ullapool. It’s a short, but steep, walk from the car park up to the Victorian suspension bridge above the gorge, where you can look down into the deep, narrow gorge with its crashing waterfalls. The best time to visit the gorge is just after a period of heavy rain, when the waterfalls are at their most spectacular.
- Achmelvich Beach – this is one of the most remote spots on the route, but the white sandy beach is definitely worth the detour. There’s a hostel, and a couple of small no-frills campsites. In sunny weather, the white sands and turquoise seas almost look Caribbean, even though the temperatures might be several degrees cooler.
- Dunrobin Castle – this fairy-tale castle looks like something from a Disney movie and is the largest stately home in the Highlands. The castle is open from the start of April to the end of October, with gardens, falconry display and tea rooms open during winter too. Another good stately home option is the Castle of Mey, birthplace of the Queen Mother.
Wild Camping and the North Coast 500
For many travellers, the whole appeal of the North Coast 500 is the chance to escape the rat race and get away from other people. Scotland has fairly liberal rules when it comes to wild camping when compared with the rest of the UK. Land reform in 2003 set the basic principle that you are allowed to camp on unenclosed land, unless there are signs specifically prohibiting it. That doesn’t apply to motorhomes though, or other sorts of motorised transport. Some car parks will not place any restrictions on you parking up overnight, but always check signs carefully. Often the best source of information about where the best places to park are the locals, who can point you to hidden spots you’d never have found otherwise. Wherever you decide to park up for the night, the key to successful wild camping is to take all litter and waste away with you, and leave no trace of you ever having been there.
Rules of the Road
The other steep learning curve for many motorists when doing the North Coast 500 is single-track roads with passing places. If you’re more accustomed to driving on motorways or in busy city centres, a road only wide enough for one vehicle can come as a bit of a shock. A quick Highway Code refresher might be in order. If you see something coming towards you, pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite a passing place on the right to allow the car to pass. You might have to reverse a short distance to the nearest passing place, and give way to cars coming uphill. Passing places are for passing, not parking, so don’t be tempted to stop and get out for a walk, however tempting the scenery.
Some of the very narrow routes on part of the North Coast 500 aren’t suitable for larger motorhomes, defined as those over 16 feet in length. Don’t be tempted to risk it by following the standard route; take the clearly signposted motorhome diversions instead. As much of the route will involve driving on single-track roads, it’s worth getting some reversing practice if you’re not comfortable in doing it regularly. Remember that in a motorhome you’re often slower than other road traffic; pull in and let queues pass if you see cars and bikes piling up behind you. If you’re hiring a different campervan or motorhome for your trip, get a bit of practice in manoeuvring and thing like emptying the waste before you leave the hire company.

More Republicans are on the edge of their seats to vote for who will fill the seats of Congress than Democrats, according to a new poll.
In a Pew Research Center poll that measures voter enthusiasm, Republicans were found to be more enthusiastic about voting in November, but they are still not as enthused as they were for the midterm elections four years prior.
Forty-five percent of those polled who plan to vote Republican say they are more enthusiastic about voting this time around than in previous years. Of those who plan to vote Democratic, 37 percent expressed enthusiasm for the November elections. Four years ago, Republicans weighed in at 55 percent, and 42 percent of Democrats were enthusiastic for the midterms.
Republicans were also more likely to answer that they were “absolutely certain” to vote in November. Seventy-six percent of Republicans were absolutely certain they would vote in the midterm elections, while only 67 percent of Democrats said the same.
This enthusiasm gap could have a connection with President Barack Obama, as 51 percent of Republicans answered that their votes would be a vote “against” Obama. Thirty-six percent of Democrats said their votes would be considered a vote “for” the president.
Regardless of party affiliation, voters are not enthused about congressional incumbents. Less than half of those polled, about 48 percent, said they want their current member of Congress to keep his or her seat, and 24 percent said they want to see most current members of Congress gain reelection.
The poll was conducted from July 8 to 14 among 1,805 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percent.

Blizzard has tipped sources that an announcement with much more detail regarding Starcraft 2, the sequel to the highly successful original, will be released at the World Wide Invitational, next month in Seoul, South Korea. For now, Blizzard has been keeping pretty mum about anything regarding a new Starcraft, and really, who could blame them.
According to a Korean site, Blizzard is currently developing the Starcraft sequel with 3D graphics. Could there be a surprise World of Starcraft in the future? Oh, how that would make me squirm with anticipation. Playing the first game on Battle.Net was such a ground breaking adventure for everyone when the first game was popular. Now take WoW, and mix in tech and the future, and you have yourself the greatest selling game of all-time. — Andrew Dobrow

Stevie Krizzo Goes Solo and Gets Serious
The offbeat local duo The Unstoppable Nuklehidz, who were ubiquitous at Baltimore rap shows a few years ago, have gone quiet more recently. But the less animated half of the group, Stevie Krizzo, has recently resurfaced as a solo artist, and has a lot to say on his first album. It’s not always clear what it is he’s saying, though: the intro track to Rebel Yell is an audio montage of news reports on a series of unfortunate events, including the earthquake in Japan, skyrocketing gas prices, the racist Michael Richards outburst, and the deaths of celebrities including 2Pac and Whitney Houston. But no explanation ever arises to tie these disparate stories together, although the first song, “Sick Of It” featuring Femi The DriFish, follows appropriately with all the apocalyptic bluster of a ’90s Busta Rhymes album.
Krizzo stays on message throughout Rebel Yell, proclaiming on the predictably Billy Idol-sampling title track, “Stuck me in the category of silly MC/ Then they heard me spazz out and smash and kill every beat.” He hasn’t completely forsaken comedy; “I’m A Dick” and the preceding skit, “The Assholes’ Confession,” are exactly as goofy as you’d expect. But the album is at its best when Krizzo can keep a straight face for a few minutes and write with some degree of detail, particularly on “Emancipation,” where producer Ms. Tris Beats takes another obvious sample, Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come,” and chops it up into something fresh and not immediately recognizable.

---- — Winamac soccer team ties with Lakeland
PLYMOUTH — Winamac’s boys soccer team recorded its second tie at the Blueberry Tournament on Monday.
The Warriors tied Lakeland Christian Academy 3-3 and are 1-3-2 on the season.
Winamac fell behind 1-0 about midway through the first half but stormed back behind two goals from freshman Tyler Hintz to lead 2-1 at halftime.
Lakeland briefly tied it at 2 early in the second before Hintz completed the hat trick for a 3-2 lead that the Warriors held until Lakeland got a PK with about eight minutes remaining. A couple late close calls by both teams came up short and the game ended 3-3.
“We got caught napping on their first goal. It was the same thing they ran all game off of their punts, and we didn’t react the way we needed to,” Winamac coach Mark Eber said. “After that, Tyler really stepped up and we got some really good looks up front. I’m very proud of the kids. We really rode a core group of players through these last couple of games and they responded.”

Bears get TE Rosario from Cowboys
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears have acquired tight end Dante Rosario from the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh-round pick in next year’s draft.
Dallas picked up Rosario during the offseason, and he was among five tight ends on the team’s original 53-man roster.
Rosario is entering his seventh season and could be playing for his fourth team since the start of 2011. He has 99 catches for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in 91 career games. The 28-year-old, a former fifth-round pick by Carolina, has started 26 times.
To make room for Rosario, the Bears waived tight end Kyle Adams on Monday.
Raiders mum on starting quarterback situation
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders are gradually solidifying their starting lineup for the season opener. They aren’t quite ready to announce their starting quarterback.
Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he will not disclose whether Terrelle Pryor or Matt Flynn will start the season opener at Indianapolis until game time for “competitive” reasons.
Allen has said the starter will be the quarterback who is best able to move the team and score points. In the preseason, that clearly was Pryor.

About the area
With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon’s glorious English Riviera.
Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west’s most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them.
Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon’s towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.
