Bold fantasy football predictions
Story Highlights
Michael Turner's age, Falcons' new pasing focus could make Matt Ryan fantasy star
Robert Griffin III may not perform to the level where he will need to be drafted
Knee injury could see rookie Trent Richardson struggle to meet lofty expectations
Being bold in football usually means doing something the late Al Davis would have done. It is often construed for doing something dumb. But bold doesn't have to be dumb; it just has to be a bit unorthodox or against the grain.
We spend a lot of our time in SI.com's fantasy football preview explaining how the masses view and value players. Here, in our bold predictions for 2012, we shift gears to things you might only see on our pages.
We are not doing this for effect. Like Davis' drafting of Todd Marinovich in Round 1 -- as goofy as that was -- we truly believe in these prognostications.
Just remember, you heard it here first.
Why is this bold?
Seven quarterbacks outscored Ryan in a standard scoring league a year ago. As many as 10 QBs might be picked ahead of him on draft day, when you add in a returning Peyton Manning and rebounds by the likes of Michael Vick and Philip Rivers. The Falcons notoriously have been a run-oriented team, relying on the thick, sturdy legs of running back Michael Turner.
Why is this going to happen?
Well, Turner is now 30, the age of breakdown for NFL backs, and the Falcons are going with a more up-tempo, wide-open passing scheme. Also, Julio Jones looks capable of becoming the next big thing in fantasy at receiver, while veteran Roddy White is no slouch in his own right. You combine these factors and 5,000 yards is possible at the incredibly capable hand of Ryan. He also happens to be 27, the age of reckoning for professional athletes.
Ryan should be available in Round 5 or later in almost all formats, but Ryan is going to perform on the level of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, two Round 1 QBs. Ryan's value relative to draft position will be unmatched this year.
What should we do about it?
It seems this is the year to pick a QB in Round 1, particularly with the amount of injury questions with the top RBs like Ryan Mathews, Trent Richardson, DeMarco Murray, Darren McFadden, Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, Jamaal Charles and Fred Jackson. But why miss on their potential and pick a QB who is going to wind up being outscored by the ready-to-pop Ryan? Once you get a pair of backs or receivers, or a combination of both, make Ryan your pick in Round 4. You can thank us later for that pearl of wisdom.
Check out our QB rankings review.
Why is this bold?
In his four seasons, the oft-injured McFadden has missed three games, four games, three games and nine games, respectively. Clearly, we cannot expect a 16-game season from the talent that was supposed to be the next LaDainian Tomlinson/Priest Holmes/Marshall Faulk fantasy bell cow. Remember that era in fantasy, when the backs carried the load? If it seems like a generation ago, it is because it actually is. This is a passing league now, and partially because backs are proving ever more incapable of staying healthy for a full season.
Why is this going to happen?
Well, we have no medical evidence to show McFadden is healthy now, much less will be healthy through a 16-game grind. We do know McFadden is at a prime RB age of 24 and certainly due to avoid the misfortune of an injury. McFadden is one of the rare explosive backs in the league who can avoid contact like L.T. did for so many years, high-stepping out of bounds, into the end zone and diving for first downs into open spaces. McFadden has always had that, but his body is now also conditioned not to be his own worst enemy.
What should we do about it?
Make McFadden your first-round pick if you don't get Arian Foster, LeSean McCoy, Ray Rice, Aaron Rodgers or Calvin Johnson. Sure, you might point to the fact we have a few other backs ahead of McFadden in our current Top 200, but we are being bold here. Take a shot on the incredible upside of this potential fantasy game-changer. A 16-game season from McFadden will mean 300 carries, 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns. Write it down, even if only in pencil.
Check out our RB rankings review.
Why is this bold?
Not since some of the record-breaking smash seasons of Randy Moss have we had such a unanimous No. 1 WR in fantasy, Calvin Johnson. Megatron was unstoppable last year and the further maturation of Matthew Stafford should keep him atop the list. The next few receivers on most rankings include the likes of Larry Fitzgerald (bad QB situation), Victor Cruz (competes against an elite teammate for targets), Greg Jennings (same), Roddy White (same) and Andre Johnson (never healthy). All of those guys have warts, so it appears Johnson will keep his firm hold on being the best WR in fantasy.
Why is this going to happen?
Let's throw out the old cursed Madden Jinx that makes everyone who adorns the Madden cover disappoint in fantasy the following year. That cannot be a reason to avoid an early-round talent like Johnson, who looks so flawless. Instead, we're going with the field here, if only because it tends to go that way at WR every year.
We wouldn't be so Al Davis-like to bet against Megatron. That is a sucker's bet. The bet here is we see someone like Hakeem Nicks or the aforementioned Falcon Jones rise to the elite. Since Nicks is going to be an early season injury question mark -- like he has been throughout his brief career -- we are going to say it is going to be impossible to keep up with the Jones. Let's pencil in Johnson levels for Jones: 100 catches, 1,500 yards and 15 TDs.
What should we do about it?
Well, you shouldn't pass on Megatron in the middle of Round 1, but you should pass on the others in that thickening second tier of elite receivers. With Jones' hype and star steadily rising, you'll have to pick him in Round 2 to get him before the fantasy gem-miners lock him up. You might not like doing that, so do the next best thing: Draft Ryan at QB in a round shortly thereafter. At least you will get a piece of the monster that will be the high-flying Falcons.
Check out our WR rankings review.
Why is this bold?
Robert Griffin III is joining the league on the heels of a record-breaking rookie season by Cam Newton. It figures there are many expecting immediate greatness from a player who is similarly so multidimensional. There couldn't be anything you saw at Baylor that would make you think anything but that. Also, you might like Andrew Luck, but you probably cannot think much of Brandon Weeden or Ryan Tannehill vs. the running-and-gunning of Griffin.
Why is this going to happen?
Rookie seasons like Newton's at the QB position just don't come every year. They are more of a once-in-a-generation like thing. Also, it is being forgotten that Luck, not RGIII, was the first overall pick in the draft. The key to this is seeing Weeden or Tannehill, if the latter even starts out of the gate, outscore RGIII, too.
Coach Mike Shanahan has to hitch his wagon to his rookie passer, but the coach has been anything but loyal to his passers in recent memory. Griffin is the rookie QB that might have the shortest leash and quickest hook, particularly since he plays for a potential contender in Washington. Also, veteran Rex Grossman might be capable of carrying the team until Griffin adjusts to the pro offense. (Yes, we can hardly believe that statement, too, but remember, we are being bold here.)
What should we do about it?
Let someone else take the risk on RGIII. After all, you will have to draft him as a fantasy starter in the round you'll need to grab him. There are just too many veteran QBs to choose from, and some are ready to erupt from the depths of the position, like Joe Flacco and Jay Cutler. No, you shouldn't pick Luck, Weeden or Tannehill over RGIII, but at least those rookie passers don't have to be drafted in a range that sets them up for severe disappointment. Those rookies are going to be picked conveniently as fantasy backups, and you can wait on using until the bye weeks.

Staff Writer
PORTLAND – As the city begins deliberations about what to do with the Riverside Municipal Golf Course, golfers on Tuesday expressed anxiety about possible privatization, fearing it would become too expensive to play there.

Mark McCarthy of Portland watches a chip shot go onto the green on the 7th hole at Riverside Golf Course in Portland on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2012.
Shawn Patrick Ouellette / Staff Photographer
Year – No. of Members – Revenues from Annual Passes
2012 – 380 – $232,926
2011 – 398 – $235,654
2010 – 488 – $265,302
2009 – 543 – $300,783
The city hired National Golf Foundation Consulting in June to study course operations and make recommendations for improvements.
Operations are funded through greens fees, memberships and other sales at the course. But revenues have fallen increasingly short of costs, forcing the city to use tax dollars to keep it running. The course has lost about $200,000 since 2001.
The consultant reported that $1.1 million in improvements – mostly in clubhouse upgrades – are needed for the course to be competitive.
The city should either lease the course to a private group to operate and maintain, the report said, or treat it like any other park or public trail and make strategic capital investments.
On Tuesday afternoon, golfers playing in the chilly 41-degree weather added their opinions.
Nick Poulos, 87, and Bo Coombs, 71, Portland residents who have been members for about 60 and 50 years, respectively, were among those walking the course.
"If they put some money into this place it would be a draw and a half," Coombs said, before ripping a short but straight tee shot down the middle of the fairway.
"It was built for the people of Portland, Maine," said Poulos, who was carrying his bag.
The Riverside Golf Course first opened in 1932. A grant from the Workers Progress Administration funded an expansion to 18 holes in 1937, while ensuring public access to the course.
Golfers fear that a private company would increase greens fees and implement rules that would make the course less affordable and welcoming to the public.
"I like it the way it is," said 48-year-old John Clay, of South Portland. "You don't have to wear a collared shirt here."
Mark McCarthy, 46, said the course is in good condition and fees make it a workingman's course -- a place where residents can get in a quick round after working all day.
"This is the type of course an average player can come and play 18 holes ... and not have to spend five or six hours doing it," said McCarthy, who does tree work for a living.
But fees may go up regardless of who runs the facility, which is used for skiing and sledding in the winter.
The foundation recommends an increase in fees because the ones at Riverside are on the lower end for municipal courses. The group says Portland's annual membership fees are the lowest around.
In 2012, a resident was charged $34 for 18 holes on the North Course during the weekend and $30 during the week, and non-residents were charged $36 and $34, respectively.
The consultant said the city should fine-tune its pricing based on demand and begin charging for winter operations, such as sledding or Nordic skiing, which costs the city about $20,000 a year.
The foundation recommended more than $1.1 million in upgrades over the next five years. The top priority is repairing the main clubhouse at an estimated cost of $800,000, or replacing it for about $1.5 million.
That alone could help reverse a decline in membership. "The present condition of the main clubhouse is negatively affecting total facility revenue," the report states.
Riverside had just 380 members this year, compared with 543 in 2009. Annual passes brought in $232,926 this year, compared with $300,783 in 2009.
The consultant also noted the "strong" revenue potential of reopening the driving range that was closed in 2005. The range could be reopened with an estimated investment of $20,000 for new netting, improved turf and new range balls.

Just checking... Cause I list Seattle as my location on PSD, wasn't sure if that was what you were looking at.
In the last 3 games we scored 24, 30 and, 28 respectably. I am feeling that.
Bringing her back!!!
I've never cheered so much for the Rams.
Amazing second half, great W!
Post 9k!
I picked up Tate from FA on Friday and started him. Only reason I even have a shot at winning my match up this week!

Congrats Shen
Bringing her back!!!
Bruce after his first 10 games has 7 sacks. Would really like to see Mel response to that. I think Pete should get to punch him square in the face over the garbage he spewed about our picks during the draft.
Well the refs just screwed over STL Rams and the game ended in a tie.
He felt that one
Bye Bye Haters
****, tie could **** us up end season if it is close race for division.
Well, I'm happy that we won and the Giants lost at least.
Great win for the HAwks!!!
Sanchez is even worse than i thought.
Can't believe the Rams tied. They had it in the bag. Hope that tie does not cost the hawks the division. Either way i love the hawks chances for making the playoffs.

This rich, sweet and nutty cheese has just won a gold medal at the 2011 British Cheese Awards. Tunworth's flavour develops mushroom characters as it matures. Made at Hyde Farm in Hampshire using unpasteurised cow's milk, it stands up to a glass of full-bodied red wine.
Tunworth is available from Artisan Cheese Merchants, La Crèmerie.
I suppose all the comments on here are bound to be personal opinion but frankly , the above cheeses are sadly lacking .
My perfect cheese board has a Somerset Brie , A Shropshire Blue , A Lancashire Creamy, a Cheshire Red, A cotswold cheese , A Wensleydale with Cranberry, An Inkeeepr's Choice and A Stilton with Apricot
This cheese board actually caters for all tastes in cheeses from Blue to fruity cheeses, soft to flavoured.
artisan cheddar
cornish yarg
where is me Stilton? How you want to celebrate Christmas without a traditional British Stilton Pot?
Where is the Cheshire?
and please please stop destroying the flavours with cranberries raisins and other stuffs in the cheeses
buy original flavours and add a nice chutney to your cheese
or try some quince fruit purée with your artisan cheddar and the flavours gonna blow your mind
try different flavoured crackers biscuits for cheese
check the selection in your local delicatessen, don't say you got to leave your wallet on the cheese counter every day but occasions such as Christmas deserves a quality treat
full of respect of the knowledge of the British Cheeseboard but please please do not say that mass production plastic vacuum-packed cheddar taste and represent the same quality like Artisan Cheddars!
Cashel blue is a lovely Irish blue cheese, it's softer than Stilton. Regrettably, I've just had the last of it. Picos Blue is my fave blue though, I like the smelly rind just under the leaves best. The nicest soft cheeses, in my view, are Epoisse, St Felicien and Vacherin. As things are so difficult here, maybe you Stilton lovers have been right all along to buy British and help our farmers.
I really cannot eat Stinking Bishop though.

Research proves you can put an end to the tedious routine of repeating the same mind- and body-numbing workouts. In fact, doing fewer when-can-I-stop sessions will help you get past plateaus and burn more fat than ever. Now who wouldn't love that?
If you're doing cardio but aren't switching up the pace and length of your heart-pumping workouts, you need all three of these calorie-torching variations. Think of them as the ultimate fit trifecta.
LSD: Long, Slow Distance
Why it works: Low-intensity, chat-with-your-BFF cardio sessions build your fitness foundation. Even though you're moving slowly, these one-speed, "no-sweat" workouts increase your endurance. Long (more than 45 minutes) sessions train muscles to keep on going, so no matter what type of workout you're doing, you stay strong to the end. Plus, they serve as active recovery, refueling you for the more intense bouts you do on other days, research shows. Competitive runners who increased the amount of LSD workouts during training shaved 30 percent more time off their 10K run compared with those who added extra tempo workouts, according to a study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
How long you need to sweat: 45 to 60 minutes
Total calories blasted: 158 to 240 (4 per minute)
Your effort level: You can sing the entire chorus of your favorite song without getting super winded. Then start over again.
LSD: Long, Slow Distance | Tempo Workouts | HIIT: High Intensity Interval Training

Casual sex or hooking up are certain types of human sexual activity outside the context of a romantic relationship. The term is not always used consistently: it may refer to extramarital sex, sex in a casual relationship, one-time encounters, promiscuous sex, or sex in the absence of emotional attachment or love, which can include prostitution and swinging.[1][2]
Other terms sometimes associated with casual sex include recreational sex, social sex, nonrelationship sex, no-strings-attached (NSA) sex, physical relationship, or sex with no games.[3] Recreational sex or social sex refers to sexual activity which focuses on sexual pleasure without an emotional aspect or commitment. Recreational sex can take place in a number of contexts. It may, for example, take place in an open marriage,[4] among swingers where sex is viewed as a social occasion,[5][6] or in an open relationship. It can also take place in a casual relationship.
Social norms and moral concerns[edit]
World-wide attitudes to casual sex range from conservative and religious views, the extreme of which is capital punishment for sexual relations outside heterosexual marriage, to liberal or libertarian views, the extreme of which is free love.
In the United States in the 1920s, "petting parties" became a popular part of the flapper lifestyle, which diminished after the end of the Roaring Twenties.
During the sexual revolution in the United States and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, social attitudes to sexual issues underwent considerable changes. The advent of the pill and other forms of birth control, the Women's Liberation movement, and the legalization of abortion in many countries is believed to have led to a wider practice of casual sex.[7][8][9] Most religions disapprove of sex outside of marriage (see religion and sexuality).
Swingers in the lifestyle engage in casual sex with others for a variety of reasons. For many, an advantage is the increased quality, quantity and frequency of sex.[10] Some swingers engage in casual sex to add variety into their otherwise conventional sex lives or for curiosity. Swingers who engage in casual sex maintain that sex among swingers is often more frank and deliberative and therefore more honest than infidelity. Some couples see swinging as a healthy outlet and means to strengthen their relationship. Others regard such activities as merely social and recreational interaction with others.[11] A swinger party or partner-swapping party is a gathering at which individuals or couples in a committed relationship can engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational or social activity.[5] Swinging can take place in various contexts, ranging from a spontaneous sexual activity at an informal social gathering of friends to a regular social gathering in a sex club (or swinger club), private residence, or other pre-arranged location such as a hotel, a resort, or a cruise ship.[12][13][14]
A study of hooking up at the University of Iowa found that waiting to have sex doesn't contribute to a stronger future relationship. Instead, they found that what mattered most was the goal individuals had going into a relationship. Individuals who started by hooking up tended to develop a full relationship later on if that was their goal going in.[15]
Research suggests that as many as two-thirds to three-quarters of American students have casual sex at least once during college.[16][17]
A 1995 study of Canadian students who had traveled to Florida for spring break, found the key elements of a spring break vacation to include a group holiday with friends traveling and rooming together, a perpetual party atmosphere, high alcohol consumption, sexually suggestive contests and displays, and the perception that casual sex is common. Overall, there was a perception that sexual norms are far more permissive on spring break vacation than at home, providing an atmosphere of greater sexual freedom and the opportunity for engaging in new sexual experiences. Of the 681 students who completed a questionnaire after the break, 15% of males and 13% of females had engaged in casual sex during the break.[18]
Related terms[edit]
Casual sexual relationship[edit]
A casual sexual relationship, casual relationship, or casual dating, is a physical and emotional relationship between two people who may have casual sex or a near-sexual relationship without necessarily demanding or expecting the extra commitments of a more formal romantic relationship.[19] People in a casual sexual relationship are sometimes referred to as "friends with benefits". The involved parties may have a degree of emotional attachment but do not want, for whatever reason, to have "strings attached". In practice, however, there are often "strings" to these relationships among singles. In a 2011 study published in The Journal of Sex Research found 2 out of 5 single women and 1 out of 5 single men in "friends with benefits" relationships hoped that their relationship would eventually turn into a full-fledged romance.[20] This stands in contrast to swinger couples who are already in committed relationships and are only seeking compatible friends with whom they can engage in recreational sex.
A hookup (colloquial American English) is a sexual encounter between friends or acquaintances that might consist of manual stimulation, oral sex, or sexual intercourse. About one-third of hookups involve sexual intercourse.[21]
Hooking up became a widespread practice among young people in the 1980s and 1990s. Researchers say that what differentiates hooking up from casual sex in previous generations of young people is the "virtual disappearance" of dating, which had been dominant from the postwar period onwards. Today, researchers say, casual sex rather than dating is the primary path for young people into having a relationship.[22]
Students likeliest to hook up are white middle or upper-class heterosexuals. Black and Latino students are less likely to hook up, as are evangelical Christian students and working-class students. The data are mixed on gay and lesbian students: some research says they hook up at the same rates as heterosexual students, but other research says they do it less because college parties, where most hookups happen, aren't always gay-friendly.[23][24]
One-night stand[edit]
A one-night stand is a single sexual encounter between individuals, where at least one of the parties has no immediate intention or expectation of establishing a longer-term sexual or romantic relationship.
Anonymous sex[edit]
Anonymous sex is a form of one-night stand or casual sex between people who have very little or no history with each other, often engaging in sexual activity on the same day of their meeting and usually never seeing each other again afterwards.[25]
Friends with benefits[edit]
Friends with benefits is when people have sex with someone they generally consider a friend; they are not in an exclusive romantic relationship with that person.[26]
Commercial sites[edit]
Many specialist online dating services or other Internet websites, known as "adult personals" or "adult matching" sites, cater to people looking for a purely physical relationship, without emotional attachments. These can provide a relatively anonymous forum where people who are geographically close but in totally separate work and social circles can make contact.[citation needed]

Q: A fossil clock—what does it mean?
A: Because of the intense evolutionary indoctrination we've all received, most people assume that it takes millions of years for sediment—like sand or mud—to harden into rock. But given the right ingredients, this can actually happen quickly. Mixing cement is an obvious example, by the way.
On our website, we showed the picture of the mechanism of a clock encased in solid rock, along with sea shells. Of course, no one believes this clock was made millions of years ago. The clock was found in 1975 near a jetty at Westport, Washington. We know that there have been many shipwrecks in this area.
Obviously, the right mix of sand and other substances hardened around this clock, making it look like a clock in hard rock!
There's really nothing spectacular about this at all—these sorts of things happen all the time in different parts of the world. But the average person doesn't usually hear about them, and thus they go on thinking that rocks and fossils must take millions of years to form.
This "clock in the rock" will eventually be displayed in our Creation Museum near Cincinnati, where we'll be teaching people the truth about the history of the world … according to the Bible.
For more information about fossils, see Fossils Questions and Answers.

Nitrous Oxide
To find information about the topic listed on this page, please visit the MouthHealthy.org page about Nitrous Oxide.
Dental offices can safely use nitrous oxide to control patient pain and anxiety by adopting some general work practices.1 Here are some recommendations for incorporating nitrous oxide into your practice:
- Every nitrous oxide delivery system should be equipped with a scavenging system. A flow meter (or equivalent measuring device) should be easy to see and well maintained to ensure accuracy. The system also should have a vacuum pump with the capacity for up to 45 liters of air per minute per workstation. The system also should come with masks in various sizes to ensure a proper fit for individual patients.
- Vent the vacuum and ventilation exhaust fumes outside (for example, through a vacuum system). Do not place exhaust system in the vicinity of the fresh-air intake vents. Ensure that the general ventilation provides good room-air mixing. Chronic occupational exposure—several hours a week—to unscavenged nitrous oxide has been associated with adverse health effects.2
- Test the pressure connections for leaks every time the nitrous system is first turned on and each time a gas cylinder is changed. High-pressure line connections can be tested for leaks quarterly. You can use a soap solution applied to the lines and connections to test for leaks. Alternatively, you can purchase a portable infrared spectrophotometer to test these connections.
- Before the initial use of the system for the day, inspect all of the system components—reservoir bag, tubings, masks, connectors—for wear, cracks, holes or tears. Replace any damaged pieces.
- Once all of the components have passed inspection, you can connect the mask to the tubing and turn on the vacuum pump. Ensure that the flow rate is correct—up to 45L/minute or according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
- The mask should be properly fitted to each patient. Check that the reservoir bag does not over- or underinflate while the patient is breathing oxygen, before the nitrous is administered.
- Ask the patient to limit talking during administration of the nitrous and to try to breathe through his or her nose—avoid breathing through the mouth if possible.
- During administration, watch for changes in the tidal volume of the reservoir bag also keep an eye on the vacuum pump flow rate.
- After the procedure, deliver 100 percent oxygen to the patient for 5 minutes before removing the mask. This will purge the system, and the patient, of any residual nitrous oxide.
- Periodically, personnel—particularly those who work with the nitrous oxide delivery—can be assessed for exposure. This can be done by asking the staff members to wear personal dosimetry badges or by placing an infrared spectrophotometer in the room.
NIOSH research has shown that controls including system maintenance, proper ventilation and good work practices can effectively reduce N2O concentrations in dental operatories to approximately 25 ppm (45 milligrams per cubic meter) during analgesia administration.3 This is the exposure limit recommended by NIOSH. Nitrous oxide can be a valuable agent in helping you make your patients comfortable. Like any other resource, nitrous oxide can be safely and effectively incorporated into your practice with proper preparation and equipment maintenance.

Early in 1986, a small group of Alexandria Archaeology volunteers met to discuss the possibility of creating a "Friends" group. The group sought ways in which to expand the volunteer opportunities in Alexandria Archaeology. An ad hoc steering committee sponsored a contest that April to choose a name and logo for the organization and the recruitment of members began. Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, and public recruitment were discussed, and a volunteer Board of Directors was created. In the years that followed, the Friends of Alexandria Archaeology has succeeded in providing volunteer opportunities and increasing public awareness of archaeology.
The board of Friends of Alexandria Archaeology has adopted the following mission statement:
To develop a common movement for the appreciation and conservation of Alexandria Archaeologyand its place in the continuity of human experience.

Google Developers Group
Why: Gives you a chance to get out of the house and work in a different location. Bring your laptop and a project to work on while chatting with other devs about specific problems and the industry in general.
Who: Anyone (but especially indy developers) in the Chicago area that are into coding for mobile apps.
What platforms: All platforms. iOS, Android, WP7, WebOS. We are hoping to "cross-pollinate" ideas across the mobile app spectrum.
What's so experimental?: We don't know if it really provides value for developers from the different eco-systems to get together. Thus the title "experimental".
When: Thursday, April 7th starting around 7:00 PM and going til ??
Where: Upstairs at the Dominick's Cafe - Corner of Higgins and Cumberland in Park Ridge. Exit the Kennedy at Cumberland going north and you are there! Also, you can walk there from the Blue Line Cumberland station. (Last stop before O'Hare.)
Cost: Free! Just show up and maybe buy yourself a beverage downstairs.
Questions: Contact Walter at 773-575-2842 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Views: 49
It went well. We mostly talked about the business-side of app development, and the Chicago scene in general.
We have 2 of us that are committed to regular Thursday night meetings for at least the next six weeks (ending May 26th.) At that point we will decide if we will keep going over the summer.
Feel free to stop by any Thursday at 7:00PM in the meantime and check it out!
If you are interested we started a Google Group Mailing list:
or watch for our twitter tag #nwcdev
I do not, but why not start your own group?
Just find a location that will welcome a handful of coders with laptops and blast out a message.
P.S. The #nwcdev is working on a possible open source project. More details if things work out!
Hey #nwcdev, I'm down here on the south side, but am totally interested in gettin' outta the house and geeking out with some fellow Droid coders in a non-work-related environment. Send me a private msg and let me know more! ---

Modmarket opens in downtown Denver
Downtown workers now have another option for a quick lunch, with the opening of Modmarket today on the 16th Street Mall at Champa. The Denver-based company started in 2009 with a restaurant in Boulder, and has grown to seven locations.
It's not a market at all, rather an order-at-the-counter place that focuses on fresh, healthy meals for about $10. You can take the food to go, or sit down in the dining area. Open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and 8 to 8 on weekends, Modmarket serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
"This is food you can eat every day," says co-founder Anthony Pigliacampo, who started the company with high school pal Rob McColgan.

Beading, Beads, How-To-Projects, Ink, Patti Milazzo, Stamping,
The perfect time to throw a fun brunch to honor those special moms in our lives.
Make these cute animal themed gift bags for gift giving this Easter.
Trendy cord bracelets with beads and charms can be found in almost every teen fashion store as a favorite accessory. Collecting them can be pricey and if your teen is looking for a summer project, these bracelets can easily be created using Fiskars Stamps and a Hand Drill.
1. Start by taping down the wood disks to a work surface, like the Fiskars Craft Mat, with clear packing tape. The tape will hold the disks in place and prevent them from spinning as you drill.
2. Use the Fiskars Hand Drill to then create holes in the wood disks – the number of holes depends on if the disk will be used as a charm or other accent for the bracelet. I used a 3/32 inch drill bit for these bracelets.
Tip: I have to say that I prefer the Hand Drill over a standard power drill because the wood disks can crack and the Hand Drill is a little easier on the thin wood. Also, this Hand Drill does not require you to put much pressure as you drill. Let the drill bit do the work as you hold the drill steady and turn the handle. When the hole is complete, turn the handle in the opposite direction to back remove it. Brush them off and lightly sand.
3. Next, use Stamp Blocks to stamp the designs with black ink onto the disks. I used designs from both the Simple Stick Repositionable Rubber Stamps and from the Clear Stamps collections. The tiny images from the Butterfly Magic set were perfect for the small 3/4 inch charms. The floral pattern from the Shapes 'n Such set created a detailed pattern for the 1 inch disk for the other bracelet design.
Tip: If you wish to add color to the disks apply colored markers, ink or even a watered down acrylic wash at this time and let dry.
4. When the stamped designs are dry, apply a sealer. I used a crackle medium for the small charms and a high gloss medium for the large disk. Let dry thoroughly.
5. Add jump rings to each of the small charms.
6. Then to string the charm bracelet, cut 3 – 12 inch lengths of natural hemp. Add 2 large beads (clear) to all 3 cords and push them to the far left. Then to one cord, add a small bead, the charm and another small bead. Then add a large bead to all three cords – this will trap the small beads and charm between the larger beads. To another single cord, add a small bead, the charm and another small bead. Again add a large bead to all three cords. To the final cord, repeat the small beads and charm. Add 2 large beads to all 3 cords at the far right. Tie off each end with a knot and the bracelet is complete.
7. For the black cord bracelet, cut 2 – 12 inch pieces of black hemp/cord. Fold each in half and feed the loop through the hole from the bottom of the disk, then put the 2 ends through the loop and pull to secure.
8. Add 2 beads to one cord; next add a silver bead to both cords; then add 2 beads to the other cord; and finally another silver bead to both. Tie off with a knot after the silver bead. Repeat this for the other side of the bracelet. Finally, tie both ends with a knot to complete the bracelet.
1 inch and 3/4 inch wood craft disks; Staz-On Black Ink; sealer (crackle medium or high gloss); hemp cord (20lb in natural and black); assorted beads; jump rings

The Heart of the World recounts an extraordinary journey into one of the most inaccessible places on earth, and a pilgrimage to the heart of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan prophecies proclaim that the greatest of beyul, or mystical sanctuaries, lies at the eastern edge of the Himalayas, veiled by a colossal waterfall in the forbidding Tsangpo gorge. After years of investigation, world-class climber and Buddhist scholar Ian Baker and his National Geographicsponsored team made worldwide news by finding a magnificent 108-foot-high waterfallthe legendary grail of both Western explorers and Tibetan pilgrims.

Move over, RG3. Make room for another rookie quarterback sensation . . .
That's Seattle's Russell Wilson, who happens to wear No. 3 and has helped invigorate the Seahawks, just as Robert Griffin III has pumped life into the Washington Redskins.
Wilson, coming off a record-setting performance against Buffalo, will get another crack at San Francisco on Sunday night when the 49ers play at Seattle in a game rich with playoff implications.
"He's no longer a rookie," said 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, whose team limited Wilson to 122 yards passing in a 13-6 victory in October.
"This is his 15th pro start. So, he's really a good quarterback. He's very elusive, he's fast, got good command of their offense, throws the deep stuff well and he's been a great acquisition for them."
In the win over Buffalo in Toronto, Wilson became the first player to run for three touchdowns and throw for a fourth in the same half.
Seattle has scored a combined 108 points in the last two games, and — like the 49ers — has a defense and running game ranked among the top three in the league.
The 49ers have a young, mobile star at quarterback too, in Colin Kaepernick, who threw four touchdown passes in Sunday's 41-34 win at New England.
By winning — something no visiting team has done in Seattle this season — the 49ers (10-3-1) would clinch the NFC West and be guaranteed of a home playoff game. A San Francisco win and a Green Bay loss (to Tennessee) would secure the 49ers a first-round bye.
A victory by the Seahawks (9-5) would get them into the playoffs, although they could still get in with a loss as long as it was coupled with losses by Chicago, Minnesota and Washington.
Like Seattle, Indianapolis can lock up a spot in the playoffs by winning Sunday. The Colts (9-5) play at Kansas City, and have made a quantum leap from their 2-14 finish last season. Quarterback Andrew Luck is the leading candidate for offensive rookie of the year, and Bruce Arians — standing in for leukemia-stricken Chuck Pagano — could be the first interim coach named coach of the year.
Another win-and-they're-in team is Cincinnati, as the Bengals can grab at least a wild-card berth by winning at Pittsburgh. The Steelers control their destiny. They're in if they finish with wins over Cincinnati and Cleveland.
Denver has already won the AFC West. But if the Broncos beat Cleveland on Sunday, and New England loses at Jacksonville, Denver would clinch a first-round bye.
If Baltimore beats the New York Giants on Sunday, the Ravens win the AFC North.
In a loss to Denver last Sunday, the Ravens rushed for only 56 yards, the fifth time in nine games they have gained fewer than 100 on the ground.
"We need to be able to run the ball against the front, any front, and that's something that we have to do a better job with," Ravens Coach John Harbaugh said this week.
No one in the league is running the ball as well as Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, who has 1,812 yards rushing with remaining games against the Texans and Packers. The single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards was set by the Los Angeles Rams' Eric Dickerson in 1984.
Peterson needs to average 147 yards per game over the final two to break Dickerson's mark.
Making Peterson's feat almost unbelievable is that he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last Christmas Eve, an injury that once was virtually a career-ender. That he was able to come back and lead the league in rushing, let alone challenge the all-time record, is astounding.

The cost of not voicing the unspeakable
Shania Twain?s new book ?From This Moment On? tells the story of her life and why she believes she has lost her ability to sing.
Apparently she is suffering from Dysphonia, a condition whereby a person loses their voice following, amongst others things, emotional trauma. It would appear that she has experienced her fair share of trauma, more recently the betrayal of both her husband and best friend (who are now partners) has undoubtedly contributed a lot of stress to her life. She herself states feeling she should keep everything to herself and present a strong face to the world, has taken its toll.
Having worked with hundreds of individuals over twenty years, I have come across others whose inability to speak the unspeakable or express deep trauma, results in losing their voices. This would seem to be particularly the case if a person needs or uses their voice in their professional life. Other examples of the ?body speaking the mind? so to speak include a football player who repeatedly broke his right foot (whilst not on the football pitch), a golfer who damaged his fingers on the hand that guided the club (again outside of playing golf) and an opera singer who lost his voice with no apparent physical damage to his larynx (voice box).
Effective communication is more than verbally expressing something. Effective communication skills begin with our ability to have a conversation with ourselves, to listen to that inner voice of what we need and to listen carefully to what we must do to live a life that is congruent and authentic.

Friday, January 11, 2013
One of three top finalists, Paul Davis, was a member of the Canadian Sailing Team in the late 70's and early80s, campaigning in the Soling class. A move to Norway saw him represent for them in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games where he finished 9th and 3rd taking the Bronze home to Norway. Paul is currently the sailor who has won the most Soling World Championship titles, taking his 4th title in 2012, sailing with Peter and William Hall. Paul also won the 2012 Shark World Championship just a few weeks earlier sailing with his son Robert Davis and Brandon Tattersall. Paul has received the Kingston Yacht Club Achievement and Leadership Award several times over the last 10 years for his continued success on the racecourse and his commitment to developing sailing at KYC where he has served as Junior Sailing Director, Vice Commodore, and as the 2012 Commodore. Under his guidance KYC's Junior Sailing program has grown, and KYC continues to produce Canadian Youth Team, Canadian Youth World Team, and Canadian Senior Team sailors as well as being named a provincial high performance training centre.
Paul serves on the CYA Athlete Development Committee, coaches Senior Team sailors, and provides guidance to younger sailors looking to make the transition to the Senior Team.
Paul's success on the racecourse continues to bring recognition to Canadian sailing, and his commitment to the development of sailing in Canada provides this country's next generation of top sailors the tools necessary to gain the same recognition.
Davis believes in Malcolm Gladwell's premise that you need to invest 10,000 hours to achieve success in anything, adding that when you've done that 2 or 3 times there are very few things you haven't seen before. "That said," notes Davis, "I think preparation is still very critical. Many aspects of the Sport are equipment centric. The teams that are winning rarely use poor equipment, have excellent preparation and ensure all other aspects of planning are completely sorted out so that the only consideration on race day is performance."
Paul considers it a great honor to be recognized for his year of results in sailing and recognizes that there are many people working hard at this sport. To have success both on and off the water takes a high level of dedication. He adds, "There are so many facets to our sport it's nearly impossible to actually compare results and contributions amongst so many that perform and contribute at a high level."
Paul will be in attendance for the award winner announcement on January 19th 2013 at The Carlu in Toronto at the annual Sail Canada Rolex Sailor of the Year Awards.

Walther knew. But he could not resist,what ten-year-old could? Every year was the same. Grandmother Dunkelhaus would shake her finger at him and warn, "Walpurgisnacht, the devil's night—you stay indoors. Devils,witches, ghosts—they come, they get little boys, eat you." Then she would snap together her shiny wooden teeth—clack!—as if she knew the flights of witches first hand.
But this year—tonight!—he would know, he and Elsa. "We must see," they had promised one another. Walther slipped out this afternoon, to sleep a while in the orchard as Elsa had suggested. The nap should help him stay awake tonight. He had put apples in his rucksack and a handful of matches—also Elsa's idea. She swore she would sneak away with a lamp. He looked around the room; never know what you might need. His woolen cap and sweater would keep him warm—spring was on the calendar, but not in the night air.

Disappointing Wayamba crushed by Super Kings
The Chennai Super Kings strolled to an emphatic 97 run victory over the Wayamba Elevens in a totally one sided encounter at Centurion as the current IPL champions made it two wins out of two.
The victory was set up by Murali Vijay and Suresh Raina who shared a 2nd wicket partnership of 137 which helped the Super Kings set Wayamba a victory target of 201.
The pair both recorded impressive half centuries against a lack lustre Wayamba bowling attack to strengthen their chances of reaching the knock out stages of the Twenty20 Champions League.
Faced with a mammoth run chase the Wayamba innings got off to a disastrous start when they lost Jeevantha Kulatunga (0) from just the second delivery of their reply after he was dismissed by Albie Morkel.
Mahela Jayawardene and Jehan Mubarak raised the hopes of a competitive match by scoring 13 runs from the remainder of Morkels first over but any hopes were quickly extinguished when Mubarak (7) was caught by MS Dhoni at the start of the third over.
Jayawardene (10) quickly followed as Wayambas top order collapse losing 4 wickets in the space of 18 balls as they slumped to 35-6 with Morkel, Doug Bollinger and Ravichandran Ashwin all picking up wickets.
Kushal Janith Perera (7), Kaushal Lokuarachchi (6), Thisara Perera (4) all perished cheaply before Shalika Karunanayake and Isuru Udana offered some resistants with a 7th wicket partnership of 27.
The defending IPL champions struck back though with Lakshmipathy Balaji picking up his first wicket of the evening after Udana (13) was caught by Dhoni to reduce Wayamba to 62-7.
Rangana Herath (4) soon followed after he became Ashwins third victim of the night before the off spinner became the first bowler in this years tournament to pick up 4 wickets in an innings after Ajantha Mendis was caught by Dhoni in the 16th over.
The victory was quickly achieved with Karunanayake (25) innings finally coming to an end after he edged a delivery from Muttiah Muralitharan through to Dhoni to leave Wayamba 103 all out with 3 overs to spare.
Having been put into bat by Wayamba skipper Jehan Mubarak; the Chennai Super Kings got off to an excellent start with Vijay and Matthew Hayden sharing an opening partnership of 43.
The ex Australian test match player responded to his golden duck against the Central Stags with a scratchy innings of 10 which lasted 18 deliveries before he was trapped LBW by Ajantha Mendis in the 6th over.
With Hayden struggerling for confidence; Vijay took control smashing 18 runs off the bowling of Chanaka Welegedara who conceded 3 fours, a six and 5 extras during his first over which put the Super Kings on top.
Despite the lose of Hayden the Super Kings continued to progress well with Vijay and new partner Raina increasing the pressure on Wayamba with a second wicket partnership of 137.
The pair turned the strike over with great effect working the ball into the gaps around Centurion picking up runs from every delivery to help the run rate top 10 runs an over.
With the batsmen firmly on top Vijay completed his 4th domestic Twenty20 half century with slog sweep off the bowling of Shalika Karunanayake which raced through the extra cover for a boundary.
Raina meanwhile recorded his 13th half century in the shortest format of the game soon after with a single played out to long on to cap an impressive performance from the 23 year old.
The partnership reached the century mark in the 16th over before Raina unbelievable dispatched Ajantha Mendis for 4 sixes in the next over to put the Super Kings firmly on top.
Raina smashed Mendis over cow corner, midwicket three times in a spell of devastating batting which floored a shell shocked Wayamba who were unable to halt the floor of runs.
With a century in his sights Rainas glorious innings was ended by Mubarak who picked up an excellent catch inside the circle to end Rainas (87) innings which had featured 6 fours and 6 sixes lasting just 44 deliveries.
After building a partnership of 137; Vijay amazingly followed from the next delivery to give Welegedara a small consolation after conceding 40 runs from the three overs he bowled.
Welegedara hopes of a hat trick were ended by Albie Morkel who dispatched his next delivery for a boundary to signal a return to normal services for the Super Kings.
The loss of Raina and Vijay didnt slow the IPL franchise down with Morkel and MS Dhoni quickly building a 4th wicket partnership of 20 which saw the Super Kings reach 200-3.
After suffering at the hands of Raina and Vijay; Wayamba responded well conceding just 14 runs during the final two overs to limit the score which could have been a lot worse if Raina and Vijay were still at the crease.
