EDMONTON — Edmonton Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins wasn’t concerned with how his team won on Tuesday, simply that they did.
Jordan Eberle scored in overtime as the Oilers continued to try to drag themselves back from a tough start to the season with a 5-4 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.
The Oilers had led 4-1 at one point, but allowed the Hurricanes back into the game.
Carolina’s Justin Faulk took a penalty early in the overtime session for a hit from behind on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. The Oilers’ forward was able to remain on the ice and set up the winner, sending a pass to Eberle at the side of the net to put the game away 1:48 into OT.
“I’d love to have a win every night. I don’t care how we get them,” Eakins said. “It was two points. Would we have like to have ended that game 4-1? Absolutely. But the important thing is there is two points in the bank.”
Eberle said it was a good feeling to come away with the victory, especially after almost letting it slip away.
“It was a relief to get the win,” he said. “We played extremely well in the first and for a little bit in the second and then completely took our foot off the gas. I don’t know what it was, but we just started turning pucks over and losing battles and playing bad defensively. It’s frustrating when that happens, but we found a way to win and that’s the biggest thing.”
Taylor Hall, Nail Yakupov, Nugent-Hopkins and Jesse Joensuu also scored for the Oilers (11-18-3) who have gone 7-3-1 in their last 11 games. Edmonton also improved its troubling home record to 7-9-2 with a 2-1-1 record through the first four games of a five-game homestand.
“We are working hard to get out of the hole we created for ourselves and it seems we are on a bit of a run now,” Hall said. “Now it is time to get two in a row, something we haven’t been able to do for a while.”
Tuomo Ruutu, Jordan Staal, Eric Staal and Jeff Skinner replied for the Hurricanes (13-13-6), who have lost two in a row on the heels of a three-game winning streak.
“We’re a pretty resilient team,” said Carolina head coach Kirk Muller. “We have to look at the positives, we got a point. We got out-played in the first, and came back in the second. We had a really good second and third. We got a really big point and possibly could have had two.”
The Oilers were buzzing to start the game and got on the board just 1:33 into the first period.
Hall had a clear lane to the net and seemed to catch Carolina goalie Cam Ward napping with a quick shot that beat him glove-side. It was Hall’s 12th goal of the season and fifth in the last three games.
The Hurricanes tied the game just over six minutes into the opening frame on a power-play goal. Ruutu was able to tip a Skinner shot on net and then get his own rebound after Edmonton defender Nick Schultz failed to clear the puck in front.
Edmonton vaulted back in front with nine minutes remaining in the first period as Yakupov took a pass from Hall and sent a blast from the slot that went through the legs of both defenceman Ron Hainsey and Ward. It was just the fourth goal of the season for the 2012 first-overall draft pick.
Yakupov was looking for another with three minutes left with another bullet from in tight, but the puck went off the post.
Edmonton kept coming and made it 3-1 with 1:46 remaining in the first period as Nugent-Hopkins was able to beat Ward with a shot up high while sliding in towards the net on his knees.
Edmonton out-shot the Hurricanes 14-6 in the opening 20 minutes.
The Oilers added to their lead less than two minutes into the second period as Mark Arcobello worked hard to get a backhand away off his knees from behind the net to set up Joensuu for a quick shot on the doorstep and a 4-1 Edmonton advantage.
Carolina started to push its way back into the game and was finally rewarded for it midway through the second. After sustained pressure in the Edmonton zone, a puck came loose to Jordan Staal in front of the net and he buried his seventh of the season through Oilers’ goaltender Devan Dubnyk’s legs.
The Hurricanes made it a 4-3 game eight minutes into the third period, as Eric Staal was able to pick off a poor Eberle pass and streak down the ice on a short-handed breakaway. Staal faked a slapshot and got Dubnyk to commit and go down before calmly putting the puck into the empty net behind him.
Shortly after, Carolina’s Riley Nash was tossed from the game and given a major penalty for a hit from behind on Edmonton’s Corey Potter. But it was a wasted opportunity for the Oilers, who barely registered a shot.
“We definitely lost some momentum there and they gained some,” Nugent-Hopkins said. “We can’t let that happen. When you get a five-minute power play, you have to get at least one goal. That wasn’t our best job. But it is a big win for us and we have to build off this now.”
The lack of offence proved costly as the Hurricanes tied the game with just over five minutes remaining in the third after Edmonton failed to clear the zone in a sloppy sequence.
Skinner was able to take a no-look turnaround shot from the point that somehow got past Dubnyk for his 10th goal of the year to make it 4-4 and eventually send the game to extra time.
Both teams return to the ice on Thursday as the Hurricanes play the third game of a four-game trip in Calgary against the Flames, while the Oilers wrap up a five-game homestand against the Boston Bruins.

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for making gingerbread cakes, from preparing the batter to decorating the cakes. Each step is detailed enough that it encourages deeper reasoning about the process, such as understanding ingredient interactions and timing, which would be beneficial for training a language model to grasp procedural tasks.

Defeat Charlottetown after losing to Saint John
CHARLOTTETOWN – It was a weekend of mixed results for the Kensington Monaghan Farms Wild in the New Brunswick/P.E.I. Major Midget Hockey League.
After dropping a 5-2 decision to the Saint John Vitos on Saturday night, the Wild rebounded for a 5-3 road win over the Charlottetown Islanders on Sunday afternoon.
The two results leave the Wild with a 13-17-3 (won-lost-overtime/shootout losses). The Wild will close out the regular season with a home game against the Moncton Flyers on Saturday and an away game versus Saint John on Sunday.
The Wild and Islanders will then meet in a best-of-seven provincial championship series to determine P.E.I.’s representative at the Atlantic major midget hockey championship.
At MacLauchlan Arena on the UPEI campus, Sam Jay (1-2), Michael Evoy (1-1), Abel Arsenault, Bailey Webster and Campbell Gallant scored for the Wild. Cole Hackett, Kyle Pinksen, Spencer Sherren and Parker Ronahan added single assists.
Johnathon Larter (1-2), Hunter MacIntyre (1-1) and Jonathan Arsenault replied for the Islanders (6-22-4). Nick Bouchey and Connor MacEachern assisted.

NEWS | 28/03/2014 | Alberto Navarro“We'll keep fighting to win this league until the final match”, stated Real Madrid's manager in the press room.
Carlo Ancelotti appeared before the press the day before the match against Rayo. The Italian coach, who confirmed that “Cristiano Ronaldo will play” despite a niggle, discussed the league match in the Santiago Bernabéu: “We have to realise that Rayo play very well and that it is a very good example of how the small teams try to play good football. That adds value to the quality of La Liga. Tomorrow will be a difficult match because we need to win it, to respond well and also to demonstrate our wont to do things”.
“Each team has its own style of play and I really like Paco's style because it has its own clear identity. At the moment the teams' characteristics are different but our football also has its own clear identity”.
The current situation in La Liga
“We have not lost our hard work in these four days because we have done that well, what we have lost is the fact that the league depended on us. We are still confident because the defeats were not due to a problem in our game. We have conceded six goals and that means that we made mistakes that we have to avoid because now mistakes are expensive. We need to concentrate more”.
“La Liga will be decided on the last matchday. We're behind now, but we'll keep fighting to win the league until the final match. We'll certainly need more than 90 points to do it”.
The possibility of rotations
“Today we had a problem with Modric, who had a temperature last night, later we'll make a decision. Rotations are made if someone is tired. Now the important match is the one against Rayo and then we'll focus on the Champions League”.
“It is clear that we've lost defensive strength. We have conceded six goals in two games. We made small mistakes and they have cost us dearly now. We need to concentrate more on everything. There were problems with positioning, above all for the goals. They were positioning errors not concentration errors”.
Cristiano Ronaldo's niggle
“He has a slight niggle, but it will not affect him at all. He is training normally and treating it. He'll play tomorrow. Today he trained well and he has no problem whatsoever”.
“He doesn't need to rest now because he is handling the problem well. He is confident and does not let these things get him down. If things improve we'll rest him, but now all of us and the player are very relaxed. It is a small problem that will be resolved with treatment”.
Free-kicks and Bale's change of boots
“First is Cristiano Ronaldo and then Bale. When Bale takes a free-kick it means that Cristiano Ronaldo agrees. He couldn't keep on playing with his boots like that and he changed them. He's physically fine and he feels fine”.
Xabi Alonso's fitness
“The last two matches were not great, but he is always an important player. He is comfortable and fit. Perhaps he made mistakes in the last two matches and he will rest when he needs to rest. The two defeats in a row were not due to a fitness issue because we were physically fine throughout”.
Diego López or Casillas
“It's an issue we've spoken about before and the situation's very clear. Diego López is doing well, like Iker when he's played. Tomorrow Diego López will play and Casillas on Wednesday. It is a debate for outsiders, not one for us here”.
Changes in the Sánchez Pizjuán
“The change we made was to add some quality. We bought Isco on just at the right time. Putting Morata on would have meant changing the system too much at that time. With Isco on the field and that change the team would lose more balance”.
“It's his opinion. I think that Real Madrid is fighting for La Liga this season, something it was unable to do last year. Let's just say that”.

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a task, as it primarily lists a single workout instead of breaking it down into detailed procedural instructions. Additionally, the lack of elaboration or context around the workout makes it insufficient for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as the instructions do not promote critical thinking or detailed understanding of the workout process.

Quarterback Tom Brady will make up to $57 million in mostly guaranteed money to lead the New England Patriots over the next five seasons. Boxer Floyd Mayweather earned $32 million for a single night’s work against Robert Guerrero earlier this month. Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols will bring home a cool $16 million this year as part of an enormous 10-year contract that will pay him $240 million before it’s all said and done.
None of this, of course, is breaking news. We know these things because discussion of finances and money is part of the sports landscape in 2013—and has been for years. Generally widely reported, free-agent signings, the salary cap and individual players’ contracts have become part of the discourse for fans of almost every sport.
Except the UFC.
While the MMA promotion of record has generated more overall pay-per-view buys than boxing since hitting its stride in 2009, fighter salaries are kept under lock and key. It’s rumored that they don’t begin to approach mainstream sports money, but information is scarce. When facts do trickle out in the press, it’s sometimes shocking. Georges St-Pierre, the UFC’s welterweight champion, for example, told the Canadian press in 2011 he makes a relatively paltry $4-5 million per fight.
“People want to compare us to other sports, and in some sense that’s fair to do,” UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta said. He sat down with two key members of his team, president Dana White and general counsel Lawrence Epstein, to discuss the inner workings of the UFC’s fighter contract with Bleacher Report.
“There are a number of things that are unique to our business…First and foremost, we absorb 100 percent of all production and marketing costs associated with the event. The NFL gets a license fee from Fox. Even boxing gets a licensing fee from HBO. Those media entities then roll in and operate the entire production. They do all of the marketing. So those expenses are not borne upon the actual league or entity. In our case, we televise the entire card. There’s over a thousand people who get pay checks when we do these events. It’s a massive, massive undertaking.
“In addition to that, we’re building a sport. We’ve had to open up offices in various countries around the world, work to get laws passed in states all over the U.S. and Canada. When you actually take into account those costs that we bear, and other leagues don’t, we actually compare very favorably on an apples-for-apples basis.”
Randy Couture, one of the sport’s true legends and a UFC Hall of Famer, was loathe to complain about a career that has made him a millionaire. He understands the efforts and expense it took to build this sport from the ground up. But he couldn’t help but wonder about the discrepancy between mainstream sports money and what he and other top UFC stars are paid.
“It’s hard for me to sit here and bitch and complain about the pay I got when I made more money competing in mixed martial arts than I ever made doing anything else,” Couture told Bleacher Report in an exclusive interview. “Does it irk me that Floyd Mayweather can fight one time and make $40 million? Well, that’s more than I made in my career. Yeah, that bothers me.”
White says things have changed dramatically since Couture was in his prime as a UFC champion.
“When Randy Couture says that’s more than he made in his entire career, Randy Couture’s career was in the dark ages,” White said. “He was on the first season of The Ultimate Fighter when that thing first started to take off. The money that’s in this sport now, compared to when Randy Couture was here, is night and day.”
How much UFC fighters are actually paid is a carefully guarded secret. Although some state athletic commissions are required by law to report a fighter’s base pay, most fighters are also paid a variety of bonuses that are not included in that mandatory reporting. Backroom, performance and even pay-per-view bonuses are routinely handed out—but until recently most reporters and fans didn’t know much about that process.
“We don’t give out numbers,” White told Bleacher Report. “We don’t say how much fighters get paid or what the company is making. It’s something that we don’t do and it drives people crazy.”
Enter Eddie Alvarez, a lightweight fighter who is one of the very best in his weight class outside the UFC. He’s looking to join the promotion and challenge Benson Henderson and the other top UFC stars, but is mired in a contract dispute with Bellator, a competing promotion on Spike TV.
The battle has been tough on him, emotionally and financially. Alvarez’s troubles, however, have proven to be a real boon for MMA journalists and historians. For years the UFC’s standard contract has been a mystery, a matter of speculation, but not available for the record. Thanks to Alvarez’s legal struggles, it has become a public document, an exhibit in Bellator’s case to re-sign the fighter to a “matching contract.”
More important, for our purposes, is this—Bleacher Report’s Jeremy Botter acquired a copy of Alvarez’s contract with the UFC’s parent company Zuffa, part of a collection of court documents now available to the public, journalists and legal minds all over the world. And some are not impressed.
“When you look at who gets the money, at the end of the day, it’s disproportionately Zuffa and disproportionately not the fighter,” Northwestern University labor law professor Zev Eigen told Bleacher Report, calling the UFC contract the worst he’s seen in the sports or entertainment fields. “None of these fighters are represented by a professional association or a union. There’s nothing that sets a minimum or basic standard below which the company can’t go. It makes sense—in any relationship like this you would expect the contract to favor the more powerful actor.
“That should be intuitive and it’s universal. If you’re contracting with Apple, you shouldn’t be surprised that Apple takes as many rights as possible. If you use iTunes in anyway they don’t like, hell, fire will rain down on you. That’s what you can expect anytime you’re contracting with an entity more powerful than you are. So too with the UFC.”
In boxing, those minimum standards are set by law, part of the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act that is helping clean up a notoriously corrupt sport. In other individual sports, like tennis, players are protected by a professional association. But in mixed martial arts there are no protections at all. Fighters are left to their own devices to negotiate shark-filled waters.
“The UFC has coagulated all this genius at law. And they’ve done nothing but prosper from it,” Juanito Ibarra, former manager of UFC star Quinton “Rampage” Jackson among others, told Bleacher Report. “They’ve left managers and trainers, and most importantly, fighters out in the cold. They don’t have a voice.”
Ibarra is quick to point out that UFC isn’t the only company that preys on fighters, usually young guys he says have never had a dime to their name and are just happy to be on television and making a little bit of money.
“It’s with all the promoters,” Ibarra said. “The promoters, all they do is copy each other’s contracts. They hire a lawyer, and he tweaks it, but it’s all copy and paste.”
As a private company, the UFC doesn’t have to report its revenues, cash flow or profit margins to anyone. According to a recent profile in Fast Company, the promotion makes in the neighborhood of $600 million per year, though Fertitta says that number is overstated. The UFC is worth north of $2 billion, making it a more valuable property than even the legendary New York Yankees, Major League Baseball’s perpetual cash machine.
Yet despite this success, Fertitta told ESPN that in the seven years since the company started regularly turning a profit, they’ve paid out just $250 million total to the athletes, a far cry from the 47 percent of total revenue the NFL’s players split.
Instead, according to Ibarra, the UFC pays fighters just enough to quell discontent. The promotion often sends fighters high-ticket gifts in lieu of guaranteed money or significant revenue sharing.
“You buy a guy a car and it’s going to keep his mouth shut,” Ibarra said. “They try to run their lives. And they give them a diamond watch worth a hundred grand. Then they put them on a TV show and take their rights away.”
“We’ve created, literally, nearly 70 millionaires since we took this thing over,” he said. “And some of them multi, multimillionaires.”
Couture, who has battled the UFC under two different ownership groups, is one of those multimillionaires. But while he was hesitant to complain publicly about pay days that have made him rich, he said fighters may be getting a little less than is ideal.
“The biggest issue is between what the promoter’s making from all the pay-per-views and everything else versus how much all the fighters who fought in that single year made. That number maybe needs to shift a little bit,” Couture admitted.
“It’s such a fine line. The promoter feels like he’s entitled. He’s spent money, done a ton of things to market the sport and create a vehicle that’s good for the fighter. But at the same time, it’s the fighter who walks up in that cage. Does the training and puts it on the line and is sweating and bleeding. One doesn’t work without the other. So some kind of more equitable arrangement makes sense.”
After analyzing it for several days, Bleacher Report has come up with some interesting points you should know about the contract every fighter has to sign to gain entry to the UFC. Adding expertise and nuance to the discussion are Eigen and Ibarra, who went over the contract with us term by term to share their thoughts.
Fertitta, White and Epstein also lent their perspective.
“Ask any questions you want,” White told Bleacher Report. “We’ll sit and walk you through everything.”
Bleacher Report went on to do just that.

National Basketball Association Finals
Revenue per event day: $47 million
By importing foreign talent like Yao Ming, Dirk Nowitzki and Manu Ginobili, Commissioner David Stern has turned the NBA into a powerful international brand. But the NBA Finals remain mired in Michael Jordans shadow: ABC charged $359,000 per 30 seconds of commercial time last year, a 9% decrease from NBCs average price when the Chicago Bulls last participated in 1998.

This is the third in a series of ten posts. One post for every year of the decade that was the 1990s. For an introduction into this series and why I felt like doing these blog posts, read this first.
John Secada – “Just Another Day”
This Cuban-American singer was fairly popular in the early 1990s. “Just Another Day” was top ten hit for John Secada, and I have fond memories of listening to “Just Another Day” in the evenings of Bahrain. Somehow, it seems to be best time to listen to this song.
Naughty by Nature – “Hip Hop Hooray“
From the album 19 Naughty III, this was another favourite of mine growing up in the ‘golden era’ of hip-hop (in my opinion). This song was everything I liked (or wanted) in hip-hop. Heavy beats, the bass, slick rhymes… it was all I needed to bob my head wearing a hoodie! 🙂
Kris Kross – “Jump”
For every bit of the real gangsta hip-hop there was, there were the mainstream silly acts too. Kid ‘N Play had the dude with the funny hair, and then there was Kriss Kross. Two young black kids – Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac – whose unqiue concept was wearing their clothes backwards! Funny as it all sounds, “Jump” was a massive hit when it came out and Kriss Kross’ only number 1 song. “Warm It Up,” their follow up single did alright, but “Jump” is still their most memorable song. I loved it then — and I still do!
Vanessa Williams – “Save The Best For Last”
I don’t remember when exactly this song came but I remember listening to this song on chilly days, be it in early months of the year or towards Christmas. The first number one for this former Miss America-turned-singer-turned-actress, “Save the Best for Last” is still one of the best ballads from the 1990s.
Arrested Development – “Mr. Wendal”
As a kid, I guess I always remembered this song as the one that began with the “Arrhh-ahhh-ahhhh” scream. I club Arrested Development and Tribe Called Quest in the same bucket because both groups made hip-hop with social conscious. Arrested Development’s sound was also quite different from the other hip-hop groups at the time.
House of Pain – “Jump Around”
Still regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time! It’s the one song House of Pain will be always remembered for (also, they didn’t have many other hits). Among the few respected hip-hop groups not fronted by a black man, but instead, by an Irish-American named Everlast.
Wreckx-N-Effect feat. Teddy Riley – “Rump Shaker”
Produced by ‘new jack swing’ pioneer Teddy Riley (who is now contributing to K-pop), “Rump Shaker” is another hip-hop classic. And another one-hit wonder. Reasons for liking this song? Thumping bass, hard-ass beats and a catchy trumpet hook. Hip-hop was so simple back in the day 🙂 No over-producing, no auto-tune.
Funny, just read up on this song on Wiki and turns out, even a young Pharrell Williams helped out with the lyrics when working with Teddy Riley then.
Das EFX – “They Want EFX”
I remember my brother owning their album ‘Dead Serious’ on cassette. (Ahhhh, cassette tapes :)) One highly influential hip-hop group, Das EFX were especially renowned for their lyrical delivery and the ending words with “-iggidy”. Loved their rapping style and the album was pretty good too. “Mic Checka” was another good song off the same album.
Snow – “Informer”
Ahh, the “a-lickey boom boom down” song! 🙂 Or at least that’s how most people remembered it. One of the most unintentionally hilarious songs ever made. Even to this day many can’t figure out the lyrics. Snow was a white rapper and reggae performer from Canada (of all the places!) and “Informer” was his only no. 1 smash hit. If you actually read the lyrics, you will realize it is English that he’s speaking… but the song is still mostly gibberish 😀
Snow disappeared for much of the 1990s, but he got my attention again back in the early 2000s when he made a comeback in his native Canada with a new musical style. Check out “The Plumb Song” and “Everybody Wants to Be Like You” — they’re both really good, and vastly different from “Informer”!
Genesis – “I Can’t Dance”
As a kid, I didn’t know much about the history and legacy of Genesis (for that matter, Phil Collins too), but I fondly remember this song and especially its video. The simple ‘walking dance’ behind the white background… it’s just iconic Gensis now. As I grew older and learnt more about Genesis, it’s only then I realized this same album produced some of my favourite Genesis songs: “No Son of Mine,” “Jesus He Knows Me” (another brilliant Genesis video) and “Hold on My Heart“.
The Shamen – “Ebeneezer Goode”
Despite the growing influence of American hip-hop, radio airplay was still mostly British chart music. And this no. 1 song was one of my favourites! I still know the lyrics to the first verse by heart and love rapping along as I listen to it 🙂 Of course, when I was 10, I didn’t know what the song was even about. Only now did I learn “Eezer Goode, ‘Eezer Goode …” is basically saying “Es are good, Es are good”. (E = ecstasy)
Take That – “It Only Takes a Minute”
If there was one boy band that dominated the British charts in the early 1990s, it was Take That. The then 5-member group were at the early stages of their stardom and this was their first top 10 hit. The video was constantly played at night on Channel 55 (Bahrain’s local English channel) to fill up airtime before ending transmission. It’s still remains one of my favourite Take That songs, even though it’s actually a cover of a Tavares hit.
Jimmy Nail – “Ain’t No Doubt”
There were quite a few British actors and soap stars coming out with pop records in the 1990s, and this chap was one such example. I don’t know what show he was on or how famous he was back in England, but the reason I knew Jimmy Nail was because of this no. 1 hit (and his other hit “Crocodile Shoes“). This was British pop back in the day, a style of music lost in many of today’s British popstars attempting to sound American.
Tasmin Archer – “Sleeping Satellite”
A British one-hit wonder. Beautiful song though, went to no. 1 upon release and it was her first single too. Never heard much from Tasmin Archer after that.
Charles & Eddie – “Would I Lie To You”
The one hit wonders continued. This time a New York duo, who had a worldwide hit with this song. When you think about, a duo like Charles & Eddie would hardly ever get a record deal from a big label these days. Something I miss about music from decades past.
Cheb – “Khaled”
I end this post with one of the biggest hits of the 1990s… if you grew up in the Arab world in those days! 🙂 Cheb Khaled is an Algerian singer and, man, when this song came out – it was everywhere! It was so popular, and not just among Arabs. Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Africans … everybody covered it in their own language (unofficially I’m sure). Khaled is a musical legend in the Arab world, one of the highest selling Arab musicians in history. His other great classics include “Aicha” and the phenomenal live performance of “Abdel Kader“.
Other songs that came out in 1992 that I only ended up liking as I grew older were:
Some of the biggest names in adult contemporary and rock. I guess it would take me a few more years to finally appreciate rock music 🙂

Nothing says Football like a good brawl after the game between the coaches.
At the end of Friday’s Walker-Cullman game—a 13-10 victory for Cullman—Cullman defensive coordinator Matt Hopper and a Walker coach were talking to each other when the Walker coach pushed Hopper and took a swing at him. The two wrestled to the ground before members of both teams intervened and surrounded them.
According to Deadspin the matter is now under investigation. I say no harm, no foul.

It’s not really much of a secret anymore, but it looks like Ed Reed won’t be playing football for the Ravens until at least October 24 when the Buffalo Bills come to town.
The Ravens – as expected – aren’t really addressing Reed’s recent hip surgery and his continuing battle with a 2-year old neck injury because he’s not in Baltimore receiving treatment from the club. In other words, it’s hard to make an assessment on a guy when he’s 900 miles away in South Florida.
But this much is certain: The Ravens are moving forward under the impression that Reed won’t be able to start the season on the active roster.
And Reed, no matter what he says publicly in a very obvious “keeping my options” kind-of-way, is on the fast track to missing the team’s first six games via the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list.
A local physician who requested anonymity due to his connection to the Ravens via the team’s medical team says from what he can tell, Reed’s hip surgery was far from minor or of the “clean-up” variety.
“A labrum tear in your hip is a standard sort of injury that mostly requires an arthroscopic procedure and an 8-10 week recovery time. But a hip labrum tear could require a more complicated procedure depending on a number of things, including the age of the patient and his or her injury history in that area of the body,” says the physician. “In Reed’s case, I’m not aware of any prior hip injuries or surgery, so that’s a good thing. But the procedure he had that involves re-constructing the hip and re-positioning the I.T. band is very serious. Frankly, it’s a surgery a much older patient – someone in their 50’s – who is a lifetime runner would have as a quality-of-life improvement. Now, I wasn’t in the operating room and I haven’t seen the records of his surgery and his rehab, but I can tell you a hip re-construction warrants a standard recovery time of 3-4 months, and for an athlete, maybe more…because they have to be fully recovered before they can even start training to return to competition.”
We had Reed on “The Morning Reaction” last week and he painted a very vague picture about his injury and timetable for his return to the field.
What he WASN’T vague about was his contract. On no less than three occasions during the 15-minute interview, Reed mentioned the words “new contract” and even not-so-vaguely said, “And I think I deserve one”.
Word has trickled back to Charm City that Reed wasn’t thrilled with the team’s signing of Ken Hamlin, figuring the money spent on the veteran safetey could have been given to him in the form of a new deal. What Reed fails to remember, obviously, is this: If he’s not ready to play in September, he’s of no value to the team when the season starts and they would need someone to play in his place. And that player who comes in needs to be paid.
The Ravens’ role in this is also interesting. First, they know Ed Reed better than anyone. For those of you who don’t REALLY know Ed Reed, he’s probably the most mercurial guy in the locker room. And because the Ravens know Reed, nothing he says or does surprises them. A team source says, “At this point, because of the uncertainty of Ed’s return, we’re protecting ourselves at the safety position.” That makes sense. With Ken Hamlin’s arrival – even though he’s had a rough couple of years – the Ravens at least have a reliable performer back there to work with Dawan Landry in the secondary.
The Ravens know there’s a very good chance Reed isn’t going to be ready for training camp. And because a player who plays in one training camp practice can’t be placed on the PUP list, it’s even more important for the Ravens and Reed to be on the same page when camp starts in a few weeks. If Reed’s not ready to practice at the end of July, it’s highly probable he’s not going to be available at all in Westminster. And it makes even more sense to have a veteran safety – Hamlin – in camp from day one to prepare for the season. Once Reed misses that first training camp session – and then, of course, the rest of training camp – he’s eligible to go on the PUP list. But that also means he can’t come back until after Game #6.
Realistically, missing six games isn’t the worst thing that could happen to Reed and the Ravens. He’s become injury prone over the last few years and is hardly a safe bet to play 16 games anymore. That said, with the Ravens expecting to play deep into January, missing 6 games at the start of the season would be much better for Reed and the team than missing the club’s final 6 games, including the post-season.
The Ravens have been coy about Reed’s injury for several reasons. First, frankly, they’re not exactly sure what to think because Reed doesn’t communicate with the team much in the off-season. Second, when you’re trying to sign a free agent safety, it’s probably not a good idea to be running around talking about how you have an injured safety who might not be ready for the start of the season. That doesn’t provide for great bargaining leverage. And finally, the Ravens have heard enough of Reed’s cryptic remarks about a new contract to know that some of this – how much, who knows? – might be posturing from #20.
“We’re prepared for whatever happens with Ed,” says the Ravens source. “If he comes in and he’s ready for training camp, we’d be thrilled. If he’s not ready to go at Westminster, we’re prepared for that. One thing for sure, we want a healthy Ed Reed in Baltimore in 2010.”
Getting a healthy Ed Reed back is going to be easier said than done.
Getting a happy Ed Reed back might also be easier said than done.
Winning without Ed Reed?
That’s the challenge the Ravens are likely going to face through the first 6 weeks of the season.

This Valentine’s Day, the @GreenMoms of the Green Moms Carnival will be blogging about ….affairs of the heart and blogging. Why do we blog? Karen asked us, “Where does all this voice and passion come from? Why do we do it?”
I wish that like Karen I could simply blog about my love for blogging, about how OrganicMania opened new doors, introducing me to a wonderful community whom I never would have met otherwise. Like a starry eyed lover, I could dwell on my blog’s good points: creative release, fun, self-expression, and service to others.
But that would be only half the story. We’re no longer in the throes of first love, as on Valentine’s Day 2008, when this archive shows I blogged nearly every day.
The desire is still there, the bloggy thoughts come, but now other loves beckon. I can tweet my thoughts more quickly, and without an empty page staring back at me as I write. 140 characters: so easy! I can post a Facebook update in a second and soon see the friendly faces of old friends as they respond. After three years, my bloggy friends are real friends, and like all friends, we call, visit and email – all without visiting each other’s blogs.
The demands of everyday life can be overwhelming at times, making a personal cause-related blog seem like a luxury I can ill afford.
I’ve thought about quitting, leaving my blog behind. But everytime I’ve thought about it, the blog nearly instantaneously – magically – delivers an incredible gift that makes it impossible to leave.
Increasingly, I look at OrganicMania as an old friend rather than a new love, one that will always be happy to see me when I find the time to visit. And one that’s not jealous of my new companion – my second blog.
Or so I hope.
Check out the other bloggy love lorn posts over at Best of Mother Earth on Monday – Valentine’s Day!

I and the Bird #70
I’ve been on the road quite a bit lately, enjoying outstanding avifauna in the process. This gets one to thinking about how inextricably travel is tied up with birding. Not being an amateur racer or NASCAR devotee, I can’t think of another activity that puts as many miles on one’s car, and that’s just to access local birds. I’ve long maintained that, to see all the birds, you’ve got to visit all the places. Only recently has it become apparent that you’ll probably have to hit each locale multiple times. No wonder so many are turning to BIGBY birding!
Face facts… birders are the new adventurers, boldly traversing the ends of the earth in search of completion that never comes. In any season, over any terrain, through any weather, across earth, wind, and water, birders strive and in striving, come that much closer to the birds they seek. Tai Haku can certainly relate to the attractions of Earth, Wind & Water. Apparently as comfortable in the New World as in the Old, Tai knows his way around ocean depths as well as terra firma. He also knows his way around I and the Bird, having hosted a cracking edition last year. Now he’s back, bigger than ever, with a cinematic compilation of I and the Bird #70.
Where have you been and what have you seen there? The avid travelers, armchair or otherwise, who read I and the Bird would like to know. The next honored host is our good friend from the Great White North, Clare of The House & other Arctic Musings. Please send your submissions for the next edition to me or Clare (clareleah AT qiniq DOT com) by March 18 for the 3/20 edition.

Neither of the HRT cars would have raced in Bahrain if the 107% rule was in place
As well as Pirelli being the sole tyre supplier from 2011 onwards, the FIA have today announced that the 107% rule will return to Formula 1 in 2011. This was announced at the World Motor Sports Council today. From 2011 onwards, any driver who does not get within 107% of the fastest lap of Q1 will not be allowed to start the race.
The World Motor Sport Council explained the 107% rule in more detail:
"From 2011, any driver whose best qualifying lap exceeds 107% of
the fastest Q1 qualifying time will not be allowed to take part
in the race. Under exceptional circumstances, however, which may
include setting a suitable lap time in a free practice session,
the stewards may permit the car to start the race. Should there
be more than one driver accepted in this manner, the grid order
will be determined by the stewards."
Now I’m sure that, in the event of rain or track damage during qualifying, the stewards would allow a slower car to go through to the race, but overall I think this rule is a bit pointless. The new teams are quickly getting up to speed, and would hardly get caught out by the 107% rule next year.
After a few minutes of figuring it out, I have concluded that there would have been 5 drivers knocked out in 4 different races this year if the 107% rule was already in place. In the season-opener in Bahrain, both Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok would not have started. Then, in Malaysia, Lucas di Grassi would have been gone.
In Spain, Bruno Senna again would have been left out. Finally, Karun Chandhok in Canada would be excluded under 107% regulations. But, in the future, I can’t see how it would happen this often. If there is a 13th team in F1 in 2011, it will only make it harder on them to get into the sport.
As we have seen already, there haven’t been any serious difficulties with slow backmarkers, even in Monaco. This is why I believe that the 107% rule is a waste of time.

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps guiding the reader through a task. Instead, it discusses the 107% rule in Formula 1 and provides context and opinions rather than procedural instructions. Moreover, the lack of structured, detailed procedural instructions means it would not be particularly useful for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as it does not encourage analytical or logical processing through clearly defined steps or tasks.

Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article does provide a sequential list of steps for completing the task, indicating a clear progression from one action to the next. However, the instructions are somewhat lacking in detail and clarity, making it challenging for a language model to engage in deeper reasoning or understand the context fully. Some steps are vague (e.g., "using a pencil" without specifying what is done with the pencil), which may hinder comprehensive training.

Erik Koch and Rafaello Oliveira were both looking to bounce back from tough losses with a win inside the octagon on the UFC 170 Fight Pass Prelims.
Erik Koch did a fantastic job defending Oliveira’s kicks and found his distance quickly. Koch dropped Oliveira with a left hand after he set it up with a right and went on the attack after he smelled the blood.
It seemed as if Koch had crosshairs in his eyes while he was throwing the ground and pound punches because he landed nearly all of his shots. The referee gave Oliveira plenty of time to try and recover but he simply ate one shot too many.
This was Erik Koch’s UFC lightweight debut and it looks like he will have a future in this division.

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a task; instead, it reports on a specific MMA fight, detailing the events and outcome without structuring them as instructions. Additionally, the lack of detailed and procedural guidance does not support the training of a language model for deeper reasoning, as there are no explicit methods or reasoning processes outlined that would encourage such learning.

An Expense report is a simple form that records business expenses. An Expense report form contains any necessary expenses to operate a business, including meals, parking, gasoline, or food, depending on Entrepreneur. An Expense report can also be prepared manually using Microsoft Office software, in Word, PowerPoint, or other popular computer applications.
Expense reports are used by an accountant to monitor the expenses of an organization. This includes the costs for office space, supplies, advertising, and payroll. These reports are then used by the CPA to evaluate the cash flow and financial health of an organization. The following are some examples of an Expense report that Entrepreneurs can prepare to use when preparing for an audit.
These forms should contain all expenses incurred for the purpose of maintaining the status of the business. This includes expenses for purchasing office furniture, office supplies, office leases, and the like.
An Expense report will contain information related to all employees, including managers. Employees are responsible for managing their own company expenses. This includes expenses incurred on fuel for the vehicle as well as expenses incurred in maintaining office space and supplies. It is common for an entrepreneur to include employees on expense reports to ensure that they do not improperly manage the amount of money they pay for business expenses.
Expenses include travel expenses, advertising and marketing expenses, office expenses and even supplies. These expenses are used to maintain the status of the business. In order to maintain the status of the business, it is important to record all expenses incurred. An Expense report will include all expenses incurred for a particular business.
Example forms may also include invoices, receipts, and other related documents. These documents will allow Entrepreneurs to track expenses from the start of the business to the end. It is important to track the expenses in order to have an idea of how much money the business needs to operate.
Expense reports can include anything that was related to the operation of the business. This includes all purchases, expenditures, losses, and revenue that may affect the company.
These Expense reports should be reviewed and updated every year. Because there are likely to be new changes made to the business. In addition, there are likely to be instances where there are no expenses for the previous year, as the business is in the start up phase.
A Expenses report can include receipts for items that are used at work. It can also include receipts for things that are sold to the business.
The Expenses report will also include any expenses incurred by the business in order to meet legal requirements, such as tax returns, which are required by the government. There may be times where the company may be required to submit an income tax return, which can impact expenses for tax purposes.
When an entrepreneur makes changes to the company, they will need to write an amendment to the Expense report to document the change. The amendment will need to be filed with the government. This report is then used to maintain the status of the business. This report is used by employees to determine if the status of the business is being maintained properly.
An Expense report will also include reports that relate to equipment and tools. An example of an expense report may include a bill for the purchase of an employee’s new computer.
It is important for an entrepreneur to have Expense reports in their possession in order to ensure that they are able to keep the status of the business. This status is essential if the entrepreneur is required to pay taxes. By having these reports in place, the entrepreneur can monitor the expenses of the business and maintain the status of the company.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a task, nor does it offer well-structured procedural instructions. While it discusses the concept and elements of an expense report, it lacks specific, actionable guidelines that would be necessary for training a language model to perform deeper reasoning or build a coherent understanding of how to prepare or manage an expense report effectively. The information is more descriptive than procedural, making it difficult to extract instructions that encourage logical reasoning or a systematic approach to the task.

TEAM Pilipinas emerged victorious over Jordan, 82-73, in a hot-tempered tune-up game that had to be halted following a shouting match between rival coaches at the Meralco gym on Wednesday night.
Yeng Guiao furiously confronted Jordan counterpart Joey Stiebing at midcourt after a Jordan player threw the ball at Scottie Thompson at the final 6:26 mark - the last of a number of chippy confrontations between players from both sides.
Long before that, the tuneup game, the second between the two sides in three days, had seen tempers flare over the physical play of the Jordanians.
"Sinabihan niya ako, 'I'm going to take your ass.' Kaya sabi ko, 'C'mon take my ass,'" said Guiao when asked about his shouting match with Stiebing.
"I was challenging him to take my ass pero hindi naman niya ginawa," he continued.“I just don’t want us to be bullied in our own country. They were bullying us all the way.”
In the first half, Guiao already confronted Mohammed Hussein at midcourt after the bruising Jordan big man committed a hard foul on Christian Standhardinger in the second quarter.
"Again I felt that was unnecessary. It was a takedown, tapos dinaganan niya pa si Stan," said Guiao of the incident.
The national coach later had his first confrontation with his Jordan counterpart.
Cooler heads though, were quick to prevent the situation from escalating into a full-blown melee, four months following the infamous brawl between Australia and the Philippines at the Philippine Arena.
Standhardinger and Hussein had both been going at each other hard as early as the first tune-up game between the two teams last Monday. At one point, the two were even whistled for a technical foul each.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing any task. Instead, it narrates a basketball game and the tensions that arose between the teams, primarily focusing on interactions between coaches and players. Additionally, it lacks detailed procedural instructions that could inform the training of a language model for deeper reasoning, as it is more of a descriptive account rather than a structured guide.

Hi y’all! So excited to share some fun summer products with you. This is my
The first step to my simple summer makeup is the Eborian BB cream. I like using a bb cream as a nice base for the rest of my makeup. I love this one because it gives you great color and medium coverage but is so light!! It also dries matte and stays all day. Another great bb cream is the Dr. Jart BB cream, but if you’re looking for something very simple, you could opt for the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi sunshine serum. I love this serum because it’s just skincare with a tint, so it’s actually good for your skin. Finding a good BB cream is key to easy,
Once you’ve got your base, the next step is to conceal. This is my favorite step because yo girl has got some major under bags!!! The elf camo concealer is the BEST. It dries down to almost a powder finish so you don’t have to set it! I love that I don’t need to set it because my secret to a natural look is to use the least amount of powders as possible. I have two shades, a lighter one to brighten up my under
I let my concealer set for a minute then go in with bronzer. I use my two favorites that I’ve talked about so many times! The Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer and the Milani Bakes Bronzer in the color glow. I go in the shape of a 3 from my forehead, to my cheekbone, then to the jawline. This is the most natural way to apply bronzer because it mimics the way the sun would naturally hit your face. Some of you might be asking “How can you apply bronzer without setting your face?” I know… this is usually something I never do, I always set my makeup before bronzing. But this combo just works very well together and it doesn’t look patchy! and like it said, the less powder, the more natural you will look.
The final step to my face makeup is a little bit of blush. Of
Hang tight, we are almost done! Now onto the brows!! This is actually the easiest step for me. I have naturally pretty thick and dark brows so all I have to do is use a brow mascara to hold these suckers in place. The only thing I EVER use on my brows in the Essence brow mascara, it
The final step to the eyes is the Essence fake lash mascara! I’m not sure why this mascara isn’t talked about more because it’s AMAZING. Did I mention it’s only $5????? It’s my holy grail mascara and I’ve got so many girls addicted to it. I go in with about two coats and its actual perfection!
Yay you made it to the final step! To complete this look, I apply my favorite lipstick and I have a trick to apply it. I use the Flower Beauty lipstick in the shade “bare pout.” Instead of applying it like usual, I will pat it on my lips then lighting rub it in with my finger. It makes your lips look pouty and natural. Muah!!!
And that’s it! It may seem like a lot of steps but
A little life update for you! As I mentioned in my What I Learned in College blog, I was actively searching for a teaching job. Now job searching, applying, and interviewing can be very stressful. I kept and an open mind and a positive attitude about my future when a lot of the people in my life were freaking out that I didn’t have a job yet. And what do ya know, an amazing opportunity fell perfectly in my lap. I accepted a full-time nanny position for the best family. Of course, it is not all about the money but the nanny job will support me better financially than any first-year teaching job ever would. I am so incredibly blessed for this opportunity and cannot wait to start! I still will be teaching English classes online to my cute little Chinese students! In the end, you always have to do what you love! I love spending time and working with children so I could not be happier!

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of steps for applying summer makeup, with each step building upon the previous one. However, the instructions lack the depth and structure that would be useful for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as they are more casual and personal than procedural and analytical. While the steps are ordered, they do not delve into the rationale behind each choice or technique, which would be necessary for promoting deeper reasoning.

The five Jets to watch this training camp:
This season centers around the 23-year-old quarterback and whether he can make a leap in his third season. The Jets hope he can stay on the field for 16 games, something he has not done yet. The offseason was about getting a better line in front of him and weapons to throw to. We’ll see if their plan worked.
Year 1 with the Jets was a disaster for Bell. He averaged 3.2 yards per carry and did not have a single game with 100 yards rushing or more. The Jets believe they have improved the line, which should help. But Bell also has to recapture some of the burst he was missing last year.
The Jets let Robby Anderson walk in free agency then quickly pounced on Perriman, who has had a disappointing career but finished strong last year. Perriman had 25 catches for 506 yards and five touchdowns in the final five games of the year for the Buccaneers in 2019. The Jets are hoping that is a sign that the 2015 first-round pick has figured things out and not just an anomaly. Perriman has blazing speed and should replace Anderson as the team’s deep threat.
The Jets had not drafted an offensive lineman in the first round since 2006 until taking Becton No. 11 overall in April. The 6-foot-7, 364-pound mountain of a man is being charged with protecting Darnold for the next decade or so. Whenever the Jets take the field, that will be his first professional practice, after having the spring practices wiped out by the pandemic. It is always challenging for rookies to pick things up, and this year it will be even more challenging with no preseason games and limited practices. All eyes will be on Becton.
Last year’s first-round pick had an underwhelming year. He did not play poorly, but he made less impact than one would expect from a player drafted No. 3 overall. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams recently sang Quinnen’s praises and said he expects big things from him this year. Quinnen was disruptive in college. The Jets need to see that from him again, starting in camp.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps or detailed instructions typical of a procedural guide. Instead, it offers a narrative overview of the New York Jets’ training camp without structured steps that would facilitate learning or deeper reasoning. The content mainly presents information on player performance and expectations rather than actionable tasks or training guidance that a language model could use for reasoning development.

K Nearest Neighbor uses the idea of proximity to predict class. What this means is that with KNN Python will look at K neighbors to determine what the unknown examples class should be. It is your job to determine the K or number of neighbors that should be used to determine the unlabeled examples class.
KNN is great for a small dataset. However, it normally does not scale well when the dataset gets larger and larger. As such, unless you have an exceptionally powerful computer KNN is probably not going to do well in a Big Data context.
In this post, we will go through an example of the use of KNN with the turnout dataset from the pydataset module. We want to predict whether someone voted or not based on the independent variables. Below is some initial code.
from pydataset import data import pandas as pd from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier from sklearn.metrics import classification_report
We now need to load the data and separate the independent variables from the dependent variable by making two datasets.
df=data("turnout") X=df[['age','educate','income']] y=df['vote']
Next, we will make our train and test sets with a 70/30 split. The random.state is set to 0. This argument allows us to reproduce our model if we want. After this, we will run our model. We will set the K to 7 for our model and run the model. This means that Python will look at the 7 closes examples to predict the value of an unknown example. below is the code
X_train,X_test,y_train,y_test=train_test_split(X,y,test_size=.3,random_state=0) clf=KNeighborsClassifier(7) clf.fit(X_train,y_train)
We can now predict with our model and see the results with the classification reports function.
The results are shown above. To determine the quality of the model relies more on domain knowledge. What we can say for now is that the model is better at classifying people who vote rather than people who do not vote.
This post shows you how to work with Python when using KNN. This algorithm is useful in using neighboring examples tot predict the class of an unknown example.

response:
**Step-by-step: Yes**
**Training: Yes**

The article does provide a reasonably clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through implementing the K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm using Python. Each step builds on the previous one, from loading the data and separating variables to splitting the dataset and fitting the model, allowing for a coherent understanding of the process. Additionally, the structured instructions and code snippets can serve as a useful foundation for training a language model to enhance its reasoning capabilities, as they showcase a systematic approach to a data science task.

Dr. Bach wanted his system to be easy to use. You don’t need special techniques or mystical abilities. You just need to be honest with yourself and aware of your feelings.
Here’s a step by step guide – and for more help, go to the bottom of the page.
In the first instance, be clear about why you would like to take remedies
Perhaps you’re seeking help for a physical complaint such as asthma or arthritis or backache?
Dr. Bach found a correlation between the way we feel emotionally and the way we feel physically, so that better emotional balance often translates into more physical well-being.
But there is no Bach remedy aimed specifically at any physical ailment or condition. The remedies work purely on an emotional level. This applies, whatever your current problem is.
Which leads to the next step…
Think about your current feelings
Start by thinking about the way you feel at the moment. Do you feel worried? anxious? uncertain? sad? depressed?
It may be that you have had a setback and are left feeling discouraged. This could indicate the remedy Gentian. Or perhaps your son is about to start school and quite without cause, you are frightened that he will be bullied? – this could indicate Red Chestnut as it is the remedy for the fear that something bad will happen to loved ones.
Or perhaps you have been working too hard and are exhausted? – this could indicate the need for Olive.
Consult the list of remedies – there are only 38 – and see which ones best match your current feelings, your current mood, the way you are reacting to your situation and the people around you.
If you do have a physical problem, consider how it makes you feel emotionally. Do you feel frustrated, annoyed, resentful, discouraged, resigned about the condition? Are you always thinking it about it? Does it make you feel anxious?
As before, look through the list of remedies and find those that best match how you feel.
You could also think about your basic personality – the sort of person you are underneath everything else.
Perhaps you are someone who tends to be quiet, shy and timid, and doesn’t like meeting new people? – This might indicate that you are a Mimulus type.
On the other hand, maybe you recognise yourself as a Vervain person, full of enthusiasm and energy, and committed to justice for others?
Or you might be something of a loner, liking quiet pursuits and your own company, reserved and upright? – That would make you a Water Violet personality.
Don’t worry if you can’t find a personality remedy right away, though. The important thing is to select remedies for your current emotions.
Narrowing the choice
You can select and mix together up to six or seven different remedies at a time. Don’t worry if you make a wrong selection, because if a remedy isn’t needed it won’t do anything – it certainly won’t make things worse.
Experience has shown, however, that too many remedies taken at one time tend to lessen the effect. There is no point mixing all 38 to zap everything at once! – instead, consider your current feelings and the most important issues that concern you now.
If you find you have more than seven or eight remedies in your mix, you are probably including some that aren’t necessary. Leave out any that relate to feelings that are in the past, and any that aren’t really needed because another remedy is more accurate.
For example, if you have several remedies for fear in your mix, think about what it is you are actually afraid of, as it may be better to concentrate on the remedy that most accurately represents the quality of your anxiety.
Getting further help
If you would like to study the system for yourself, you can read a book – or you might like to join a Level 1 introductory class, either in a classroom, or via distance learning.
And if you need personal help making your selection – or if you get stuck and would like an outside opinion – you can always consult a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner.
BFRPs act as teachers and advisers, and will help give you the confidence to select remedies for yourself, family and friends.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps guiding the reader through the process of selecting appropriate remedies based on their feelings and emotional states. However, while it outlines a procedure, the instructions lack sufficient detail and structure to serve as effective training material for a language model requiring deeper reasoning capabilities. The process feels more intuitive and personal rather than grounded in a rigorous, analytical approach.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- Rhode Island's new head football coach is the defensive coordinator from UCF.
Jim Fleming will be formally introduced at a press conference on campus on Monday.
Fleming joined Central Florida in 2011 as linebackers coach and was named defensive coordinator last year. With an 11-1 record overall, the Knights are currently ranked No. 15. They'll play in the Fiesta Bowl against No. 6 Baylor.
Fleming served as the linebackers coach for Kent State in 2010 and Akron's defensive coordinator from 2004 to 2009.
The New York City native replaces Joe Trainer, who was released from the final year of his contract in November. Trainer went 12-44 over five seasons at the helm of URI's football team.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps; instead, it offers information about Jim Fleming's coaching background and a brief overview of his new role without any structured procedural instructions. Consequently, the content lacks the detail needed to support training a language model for deeper reasoning, as it does not guide the reader through a process or encourage critical thinking on a specific task.

Where can I get the app?
You can download the Buy Local mobile app for free from the App Store or Google Play. Search for Local First Vermont and look for the orange square and maple leaf.
If you have an Android, click this icon:
How do I activate coupons?
You’ll pay a $15 fee to activate all of the coupons on the Local First Vermont App. Click the green bar that says “Activate Coupons,” and you’ll see a payment page.
How do I use the book’s “$5 off” coupons for the mobile app?
You actually don’t use the paper coupon. Instead, you will use the 8-character code on the back of the printed book’s lower right corner, just below the maple leaf. Download the app, click the green bar that says “Activate Coupons,” and enter the discount code during checkout. The code can be used only once.
What if I forget to use the code?
We’re sorry, but if you have a book and a code, you will need to remember to use the code before activating the coupons to get the discounted rate.
How do I redeem a coupon?
Using coupons is easy. Click the green bar that says “Redeem Coupon.” You will see a “caution” screen reminding you to show the screen to the cashier or authorized employee to apply the discount. Each coupon can only be used once, and the coupon will be marked as “Already Redeemed” after it has been used and cannot be used again.
What if I redeem a coupon accidentally?
We’re sorry, but that’s what the “caution” screen is for. If you do this at the business, you can show the merchant your redeemed coupon. The redemption date is in the maroon bar at the top, and if it matches today’s date, they may choose to honor the coupon.
How do I sort coupons?
The default sorting option is distance from your current location. To change this, click the “hamburger,” three horizontal lines next to the search window in the upper right corner of the app. This will give you three options for sorting:
- distance (from your current location)
- keyword (based on words in the name and description of the business)
- name (alphabetical by the name of the business)
How can I find all the coupons in a specific town?
Enter the name of the town or county in the search window.
Note: You can also search by county for these counties: Addison, Chittenden and Washington.
What if I lose my phone?
You’ll be sad, but you can still use the app! Just download the app on another mobile device and login using your original username and password. The app will reload on your new device.
What if I forget my password?
Click “Forgot your password? Press here to login via email” on the login page, and you’ll get an email with a link and button to login to the app.
Where can I change my password?
Click the Settings icon on the bottom of the app, enter the new password and click Save.
I purchased the app and have used it, so why does the green bar suddenly say Activate Coupons?
The app may have been updated in which case you’ll need to login again. Just click “Settings” and login again.
When do the coupons expire? Will I have to pay again?
The coupons expire on August 31st of every year, and new coupons are made available on September 1st. Purchase is required once a year.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for various tasks related to using the Buy Local mobile app, such as downloading the app, activating coupons, and redeeming those coupons. Each section is straightforward and logically structured, making it easy for readers to follow the instructions. However, the instructions lack the depth and detail necessary to support deeper reasoning or complex problem-solving, making them less suitable for training a language model in those areas.
