I think we all know the system has got to be fixed

He's always had small hands and needs to do a better job securing the ball, especially since Miami has no other legitimate options at tailback.Lousaka Polite continues to be a force in the running game as a blocker, as well as money in short-yardage ball-carrying situations. Every week I'm becoming more and more convinced he should be in the Pro Bowl this year.Greg Camarillo led the Dolphins' receivers against Jacksonville, catching everything thrown his way and consistently moving the chains.Vernon Carey got embarrassed on one play, but the offensive line did a good job protecting Henne for the most part. Helping matters is that Henne's pocket awareness and decision-making is becoming much more refined with every week.Nate Garner and Donald Thomas (now relegated to a platoon/reserve role) both did well in the running game. I like Thomas' upside more though, and would prefer him to start while Garner serves as a versatile sixth lineman off the bench. Defense & Special TeamsThe Dolphins' defensive line had as good a game as I've seen in a few years, getting good pressure on Jaguars quarterback David Garrard and keeping running back Maurice Jones-Drew in check.

Kendall Langford and Phillip Merling both made some plays in the pressure/deflection departments, while Paul Soliai and Randy Starks dominated most of the game and came up big on some fourth-down plays.Joey Porter had a strong game with his seventh sack of the year, while Cameron Wake continued his push for more playing time. Wake had a huge sack late in a game for the second consecutive week, and on another play pushed starting right tackle Eben Britton completely into Garrard.Akin Ayodele played well inside, while it looked like Reggie Torbor saw some playing time on defense at Channing Crowder's expense. I'm pretty okay with this turn of events, as Torbor registered a nice sack against the Jaguars and Crowder is pretty pedestrian anyway.Sean Smith has the physical tools, but his instincts have got to get better. Even for a rookie, it seems he's caught out of position just a little too often.Gibril Wilson had a few nice plays, but he also was part of Jacksonville's biggest passing play of the year on a deep pass to Torry Holt.

Smith bit on the short route against Holt, which wouldn't have been so bad if Wilson hadn't as well.Yeremiah Bell had a strong came and made a few big plays in the passing game, which is nice to see from a hard-hitting, in-the-box safety.Dan Carpenter missed his first field goal since Week 2 and just his second attempt of the season, but he's still having a great year and isn't any cause for concern.

Barack Obama Health LifestyleNow the 74-year-old former California kindergarten teacher finds herself under financial pressure. Despite taking lodgers to help pay the bills, she worries about losing her home or having to choose between mortgage, food and health insurance."I'm on a fixed income Nothing else is fixed," Hunter said "I can't afford to travel right now or anything.

It's very disappointing to work like I did and then have this happen."Hunter, who told her story to a community healthcare discussion in Costa Mesa, California, is one of millions of Americans looking for President-elect Barack Obama to make good on his campaign promise to tackle the U.S. healthcare crisis.Obama's choice to lead the reform effort, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, testifies at his Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday beginning a process to change the nation's health care that could be one of the most ambitious and expensive undertakings of the Obama presidency.Sen.

This has become more acute during the current economic turmoil."We can't afford to put domestic priorities like health care on the back burner," said Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "This will certainly be a priority for him and for the new administration once he's sworn in."Daschle and his team have helped organize thousands of grass-roots meetings across the country to try to understand the health problems people face and the changes they want.Some 8,500 people signed up to host the sessions like the one Hunter attended in Costa Mesa.
