I was musing over the ideas, basics and limitations of the Reincarnation system, and was actually curious...
Why isn't the option to reincarnate to the other faction a possibility?
Here's a list to detail the reasons why it may be an idea to consider:
- 1) Freedom to pursue what the other faction has to offer without losing progress on your account by starting over anew.
- 2) Freedom for a better dynamic control of the population by the people, for the people.
- 3) Freedom to move where friends might be.
- 4) Freedom of choice to reincarnate as a different race for the same benefit. (E.g. Main on Empire, want to Reincarnate for the skills, don't like race choices for the class you want to reincarnate as)
- 5) Freedom to move between factions to prove unbiased nature and without losing character progression. (Be it Astral Scholars or Community-Oriented people alike!)
Now of course, with any idea comes the complications of what would be considered as a poor thought.
Con(s) (and solution(s)):
Problem: Drama.
Of course, this is probably the biggest contender to why there probably aren't cross-faction reincarnations (Henceforth dubbed: CFR). Kill someone on your Main, log over to your fresh reincarnation to gloat about it and harass them for it, and all that nasty stuff.
Perhaps you're doing something on your League main and JohnnyBGood (also on the League side) is causin' all sorts of trouble for your grinding area while you're trying to make gold. Time to swap over to that CFR and teach him some manners!
- Add a cool-down timer to swapping between your CFR and any other character you own under the same progenitor. Say, 15-30 minute swap-lock?
Of course, if this were to be implemented, the same current locks would apply. (E.g. reincarnating as a class you have already reincarnated as or is similar to your progenitor) Nothing would change regarding allowing factions to talk with one another in Zone chat or any of the like. The suggestion is simply meant (and based) solely off the opportunity to Reincarnate on the other side.
Now, maybe it's just me, but I honestly can't see any other repercussions to having CFRs. Any problems and solutions can be posted by you (the Community) so that we can stomp out the oppression and bring on new change for the better.
I'll appropriately edit the Cons list, (or the pros list, if anyone can come up with additional reasons why it'd be a good idea) accordingly so we can present a good and solid, valid suggestion for them to implement.
So what's your opinion?

With increasing demands for developing alternative control programs for many poultry diseases, it is becoming important to understand the basic immunobiology of host-pathogen interactions in order to develop novel vaccination strategies. From studies carried out in many mammalian species, it is evident that host immune responses to intracellular pathogens are complex and involve many components of the host immune system. For enteric pathogens such as Eimeria and Salmonella, understanding cell-mediated immunity is most important since antibodies, although abundantly produced locally, can not access and act on these intracellular pathogens. In poultry, slow but increasing understanding of various components of host immune system mediating cellular immunity, is opening new opportunities for thorough investigation of the role of thymus-derived lymphocyte subpopulations and cytokines in normal and disease states. This paper will review recent progress with chicken cytokines that have been characterized, and discuss various experimental strategies to enhance host immunity to pathogens using chicken cytokines.

ARLINGTON, Texas Ten thoughts after the Chicago Bears' 34-18 romp over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night that keeps them atop the NFC North with the Minnesota Vikings at 3-1.
1. Offensive line issues don't get resolved in one game and work still will need to be done in the offseason. But in a dominating victory over a defense that entered ranked No. 1 in the NFL, allowing just 250 yards per game, the Bears put up 360 yards of offense and bolstered what was a suffocating defensive effort that produced five interceptions and two returns for touchdowns.
Quarterback Jay Cutler was sharp in completing 18 of 24 passes for 275 yards and quick to compliment his line. He was sacked twice, but Cutler likely would admit that he held the ball too long on the first one by DeMarcus Ware and the play looked like it broke down on the second one when he went down after a rollout. Left tackle JMarcus Webb got plenty of help with Ware but held his own. It was the kind of even effort the Bears got in the middle of last season when the offense was performing well before Cutlers thumb injury.
The running game was far from great, but the offense ran the ball well enough to stick with it and keep the Cowboys off balance, opening some nice holes in the first half. Matt Forte returned to the lineup and had 52 yards on 13 carries, including a nice 14-yard gain in the second quarter when center Roberto Garza made a key block on inside linebacker Sean Lee.
Running the football made the Bears worlds better on first down. Offensive coordinator Mike Tice stated that his primary goal for the week was to improve on first down, which had been a disaster. The offense entered the game having gained 77 yards on 40 first-and-10 runs and 152 yards on 35 first-and-10 passes. Both statistics ranked 29th in the NFL and it meant the Bears had been producing just 3.05 yards on first down.
Against the Cowboys, the Bears had 169 yards on first down when you subtract one kneel down at the end of each half by Cutler. They had 14 runs totaling 63 yards and nine passes totaling 106 yards. That came out to 7.34 yards per snap on first down. In turn, that made the offense effective on third down, where it converted 7 of 12. It all started up front.
Offensive line played extremely well start to finish, Cutler said. I thought our offensive line played with some intensity.
There was ample help for Webb with tight ends and backs but any offense in the NFL is going to provide that against Ware, one of the most talented pass rushers in the league. It showed the Bears still can give help on the edge -- and the Bears did benefit from Wares counterpart Anthony Spencer being sidelined with a pectoral injury -- and still throw the ball downfield.
It felt pretty good out there, right tackle Gabe Carimi said. We just tried to come off the ball and just play instead of trying to play perfectly. Whatever happens, happens when you are doing that and you are firing off the ball.
Staying committed to the run even though it was rough sledding at times was the key and allowed Cutler to hurt the defense over the top later on when wide receivers got matched up one-on-one. The Cowboys and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan didnt have an answer at that point.
It was a good day, Garza said. We have a lot of stuff to clean up still. We can always get better and definitely its a process. We improved from last week but there is still a long way to go.
Two weeks after the bump in Green Bay, Cutler gave Webb a hug.
Ive got to go see my family guys, Webb said laughing when he was asked about it. I want to go hug my mom. Jay hugged me, but I want to go hug my mom right now. You guys are out of control.
2. Somewhere in Cowboys Stadium, Henry Meltons agent Jordan Woy was probably watching the game. But Woy wasnt sitting with Bears management negotiating a contract for the defensive tackle. Melton played like a man who is paving the way toward a big payday and he has played consistently through the first quarter of the season. Melton was credited with the only sack of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, his fourth of the season, and then forced what for now is being called an interception for Lance Briggs that the linebacker returned 74 yards for a touchdown.
The NFL could review the play and make an official scoring change that would credit Melton with another sack on the play and in turn give Briggs credit for a fumble recovery, not a pick.
I thought it was a sack, Melton said. Those things are hard to come by. Ill take them when I can get them. Honestly, I thought I hit his arm and the ball came out. I just saw Lance running the other way and I didnt care at the time if it was a sack or an interception. I was happy we were going the other way.
Melton, who went to Grapevine High School, about 15 miles north of Cowboys Stadium, got 30-some tickets for friends and family.
It was definitely a fun game, man, he said. We just came out and wanted to be physical, play hard. That is what we hang our hat on.
Defensive end Julius Peppers called Melton the engine of the defense, something players used to call Tommie Harris when he played the under tackle position at a Pro Bowl level.
Its impressive, Peppers said. He is continuing to get better, hes growing, maturing a little bit as a player so thats a good thing. Hes going to be the engine to the D. Were going to need him to continue to play like this.
Peppers knows what it is like to have a monster season in a contract year. He did it twice with the Carolina Panthers with 14 1/2 sacks in 2008 when the club then chose to place the franchise tag on him and 10 1/2 sacks, two interceptions and five forced fumbles in 2009 before he exited via free agency.
I know what you are saying, Peppers said. But I cant say he is playing for that. Hes playing well and it just happens to be at this time.
It sure is a beneficial time for things to click for Melton.
This is his fourth year, Peppers said. This is the time that he should be turning over, getting to that level where hes starting to perform.
The franchise tag number for defensive tackles this year was $7.9 million, a healthy dip from the $12.5 million it was at in 2011. There is no question the tag will at least be a bargaining chip for the Bears when the time comes to talk contract with Melton. That is reality.
I dont know, Melton said when I asked him if hes considered the franchise tag. Im just gonna take it day-by day. That is all I can do.
3. Jay Cutler wasnt ready to call it a statement victory for the Bears but the resounding defensive effort certainly will serve as a warning to future opponents on the schedule. Tony Romo threw five interceptions for the second time in his career and although the Bears are only credited with one sack right now, Romo was under constant duress before being yanked for ex-Bears quarterback Kyle Orton after No. 5.
Give them credit, Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. Theyre a good defense, they rally to the ball, and they stop the run. We knew coming in they were No. 1 in the league with sacks. They get pressure with four-man rushes and they dont blitz a whole lot. But when they do get leads, theyre the kings of the Tampa Two. For us, we gave them opportunities and obviously they made plays.
Dallas coach Jason Garrett praised the defense that gets criticized in these parts when its weaknesses are exposed. That typically happens when the Bears are gashed in the running game or cannot generate a base pass rush. Neither has been a real issue to this point this season.
Their style of defense has been pretty consistent, Garrett said. We have a pretty good feel for what their fronts were going to do, what their pressures were and what their coverages were throughout the game. Theyre no different. Theyre just very good at it. Its not real exotic and in my experience the best defenses sometimes can be the simplest ones because theyre good at what they do. They do a good job defending the run and putting you in some harder down and distance situations on third down. Thats been their style for a long, long time.
The defense has an NFL-high 11 interceptions three more than the St. Louis Rams, who are the next closest team. The defense had 20 all last season. It is what happens when a consistent pass rush combines with aggressive, confident players in the secondary.
Maybe the easiest one of the game was nearly dropped by Charles Tillman. A mixup between Romo and wide receiver Dez Bryant resulted in an uncontested pick for Tillman that he turned into a 25-yard touchdown return, the sixth interception return for a score of his career, the most in franchise history.
I think when quarterbacks throw the ball like that, thats probably one of the hardest plays in football because it takes so long and you are thinking like, Alright, alright, oh, oh, dont drop it! Dont! OK, I got it. Just run, Tillman said.
By no means are the Bears saying they have arrived and they should not. The Cowboys have been in a funk offensively. Theyve basically stunk since upsetting the New York Giants in the first game of the season.
It is still a work in progress, defensive end Julius Peppers said. We still have things to learn on this side too. We just have to get both sides going at the same time. And that kind of happened tonight. You can kind of see where we are going. Tonight was a little bit of sign where we are headed.
We have to forget about this and get back to work. It is good for everybody to see (in prime time), I guess. Maybe not. We want to stay under the radar as long as possible. But when you do something like this on national TV, it puts the spotlight on you.
That spotlight will stay on this defense for some time and the Bears are going to Jacksonville to face the NFLs 32nd-ranked offense.
4. Devin Hester had been one of the odd men out in the first three weeks for the Bears on offense, difficult to locate while the unit went through some bumpy patches. He touched the ball just four times on offense through the first three games and let it be known he wanted a more significant role. Offensive coordinator Mike Tice listened. Hester was targeted with two passes on the opening possession and then made a 34-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter when he shook loose from Cowboys rookie cornerback Morris Claiborne on a nice double move.
Quarters (coverage), he ran a great route, killed the guy, quarterback Jay Cutler said. We got a little leaky upfront and I had to let it go a little sooner than I would have liked to, Devin did a great job of tracking it and hes got some of the best hands on the team.
Hesters catch withstood a replay review and now hes feeling better about his place in the system.
I asked for a little more opportunities, Hester said. Mike Tice came to me and said I was going to be one of the stars of the game. That pretty much told me that he was going to give me opportunities to make plays. How I handle it, you know, was on me.
I felt if I could get more opportunities to make plays that I could make them. Thats the most important thing about making plays is getting the opportunity to make them. Once you get the opportunities, youve got to take advantage of them. The more opportunities you get, the more plays you can make.
Hester credited Tice with being easy to approach.
We understand each other, Hester said. Thats the great thing about Coach Tice. Hes willing to drop his ego and communicate more with the players. When you got a coach like that, the players will do whatever it takes. The way hes going by communicating with players. Hes going to get a lot of guys to fight for him.
5. The production of tight end Kellen Davis cannot be overlooked either. Davis had a bad drop late in the first quarter that would have resulted in a nice gain but came back to catch three balls for 62 yards, which is a career-high. All three grabs came on third downs. Davis gained 16 yards on third-and-10 to help set up the first score of the game, a 43-yard Robbie Gould field goal. He then picked up 21 yards on a third-and-four and 25 yards on third-and-three.
Davis entered with only three catches for 41 yards.
You cant be (hesitant to go back to him after the drop), Cutler said. With our reads and stuff you just go 1, 2, 3 and whoever the guy is, thats the guy. I was proud of him bouncing back. He hasnt probably gotten as many balls as he wanted. He went up for that second one and went over the guy and ripped it out of his hands. Hes playing good football.
Davis said it was important for him to remain involved in the passing game.
I really appreciate Jay, Davis said. He had faith in me and he came back and let me make some plays. It felt good to make some plays.
Its a situation where Davis has been hoping to find a bigger role in the passing game but things were not clicking across the board and hes been forced to do more pass blocking than he would like because of the issues on the line.
I try to do what I am asked to do in the offense, he said. I would like more opportunities down the field, just like tonight, but if I am asked to block, that is what I am going to do. Its all about winning games.
I gotta make plays when I can, especially if I am getting single coverage or zone drops, Ive got to be in there making plays for Jay.
6. You dont need a decoder ring to see what is going on with former first-round draft pick Chris Williams. He can play any spot on the line with the exception of center but that versatility didnt mean much as he was made inactive as a healthy scratch for the game. The coaching staff opted to have newcomer Jonathan Scott in place as the swing tackle and use reserve guard/center Chris Spencer as the sixth offensive lineman in the goalline/short yardage package.
I was surprised, said Williams, who went from going into the third preseason game battling for the left tackle position to not getting a uniform on game day.
Williams is in the final year of his contract and needs a fresh start elsewhere. Its pretty clear hes not in the mix here and wont be, not after a move like this. He declined to share what he was told about the decision.
Thats between me and the coaches, he said.
Williams said he didnt know if it would be for the remainder of the season or not.
You can take it whichever way you want, he said. We got a big win tonight. That is what is important. And getting ready for Jacksonville.
I fielded a handful of Twitter questions inquiring about the possibility the Bears could trade Williams, the 14th pick overall in the 2008 draft. When hes not even in uniform for the Bears, hes not going to hold much value on the open market. But hes a young player and new scenery and a real opportunity elsewhere next season could change his fortune. Credit him with handling the situation professionally following the game.
7. At the quarter mark of the regular season it is early to start looking ahead to the draft but figured it was worth asking a national scout for another NFC team how offensive line prospects are stacking up for April. General manager Phil Emery did not select a lineman in his first draft. There is an awful lot of football remaining to be played with the linemen the Bears have and its impossible to tell what could be available in free agency. Plenty of have already suggested the Bears should make a full-court press for Jake Long, who is scheduled to become a free agent. That would be a stunner because reports surfaced back early in the summer that the Miami Dolphins will use the franchise tag to secure the left tackle if a long-term contract cannot be reached. So, go ahead and file Long-to-the-Bears in the not likely category. There is no compelling reason the Dolphins would let Long walk away in free agency.
Some have already suggested the 2013 draft could be solid for offensive linemen, so I asked the national scout that exact question.
Within the first two rounds, he said. There are some big-time guards and some good tackles but not premier tackles. There are not premier lefts out there right now unless I have missed out on some juniors. Now, there are some big-time guards and some really good right tackles out there.
There could be two to maybe three guards go in the first round, which is pretty out of the norm because usually it is just one. Usually those are back-end first-round guys if they are at that good. There are some good right tackles and there are a couple juniors out there that could be overdrafted (if they forego their senior season) but are there any Joe Thomases out there? Heck no. There is not. Numbers-wise on the offensive line, maybe the first two, two-and-a-half rounds might be strong. After that, it kind of falls off.
Two guards were drafted in the first round in 2012 Stanfords David DeCastro No. 24 overall to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Wisconsins Kevin Zeitler No. 27 to the Cincinnati Bengals. But only one guard was selected in the first round of the 2011 and 2010 drafts and none went in round one in 2009 and 2008. In the last 10 drafts, only seven guards have been selected in the first round.
Top offensive line upperclassmen prospects right now include Boston College right tackle John Wetzel, Alabama center/guard Barrett Jones, North Carolina offensive tackle Brennan Williams and North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper.
The scout said once again the draft will be dominated by underclass talent. A record 68 underclassmen declared for the last draft and 44 were selected (second most ever after 46 in 2010), according to Ourlads Scouting Service. In each of the last two drafts, eight of the top 10 picks have been underclassmen.
Youve got to remember now this senior class is not very good, the scout said. That is not going to change. That is going to keep happening. Ill bet you it is going to be 65 to 70 guys every single year now entering the draft early.
You dont have to crunch the numbers to realize how big of an impact that is. Sixty-four players represents two rounds of the draft.
8. One of the good debates before Shea McClellin was selected in the first round was whether or not he would be a better fit for a 4-3 defense like the Bears utilize or a 3-4 scheme. The Bears have been playing him at left end primarily while he would be an outside linebacker for a 3-4 team, likely on the strong side. There were similar questions two years ago when Corey Wootton came out of Northwestern but he wasnt an option as an outside linebacker. Teams running 3-4 defenses viewed him as an end (or five technique).
The Cowboys were one of the clubs looking closely at Wootton when he surprisingly dropped. But Dallas had the 27th pick in the fourth round of the 2010 draft and the Bears selected Wootton at No. 11 that round before he could reach them. The 270-pounder would have had to bulk up to play end in a 30 front, probably to 290 pounds or more.
I was never sure he was going to be that 295-pound, 300-pound guy you would need to play end in a 30 front, said one college scout for another NFC club that liked Wootton coming out. He is probably where he should be. He is a better 4-3 fit than he is a 3-4 fit on body type. Its not that he is not athletic. He was just kind of thin in the waist.
Wootton certainly feels at home.
I think (playing for a 3-4 defense) is something I could have done but I feel definitely more comfortable in a 4-3 front, Wootton said. I definitely could have done it if the situation presented it.
The Bears are benefitting from Wootton finally being completely healthy. Its shown in his play as entering the Dallas game he had 1 ½ sacks and was tied for second on defense with four quarterback hits. Hes playing regularly in the rotation after getting only 149 snaps in his first two seasons 65 a year ago and 84 as a rookie.
My first two years here were not the way I wanted to really start it but now I feel healthy and really good, Wootton said. That was the biggest thing just really getting myself healthy.
He had a strong offseason program and followed that up with an impressive training camp and preseason. Now, hes just got to stay on the field.
I feel Ive been able to get better every week, Wootton said.
9. Fullback Evan Rodriguez was held out of the game with a minor MCL sprain in his left knee and there is a possibility he will also be out this coming Sunday at Jacksonville. But with a bye week on the other side of the Jaguars game, Rodriguez could get three weeks to rest and rehabilitate and miss only two games.
Rodriguez was rolled up from behind on the opening kickoff against the Rams. He tried to keep playing but was forced out at the end of the first quarter.
I actually thank God, Rodriguez said. The injury should have been a lot worse but I guess God was watching out for me. Its minor.
The fourth-round draft pick was performing well and probably would have had a substantial role against the Cowboys with the Bears focus on getting the ground game going with Matt Forte. Its not quite what Rodriguez expected when he was drafted as a tight end. He has not caught a pass yet and figured that as the F-tight end in Mike Tices offense that he would have opportunities. Instead, he lost his tight end number and has been used, at least in game action, almost exclusively as a blocker.
I am used to it, he said. I did a little of it at Temple so it is not too difficult and obviously they brought me in here for certain reasons. I feel pretty confident back there in the backfield.
None of the tight ends have made much of an impact in the passing game to this point. Rodriguez figures opportunities are awaiting him and the more he does well, the more playing time he will earn.
I would say, passing game, my time will come for that, he said. I feel like Coach (Mike) Tice has been doing a tremendous job with the new offense and the more we settle in and more explosive as we should be, I am just trying to get used to it.
It was Tice who proposed Rodriguez make the switch from No. 88 which he wore in training camp and preseason to No. 48 when the Bears made the decision to list him on the roster as a fullback. NFL rules dictate that fullbacks have numbers between 20 and 49.
He kind of asked me if I would and told me I needed to, Rodriguez said. A little of both really. He told me his reasons behind it. It made sense. Being a rookie I dont have much space. I was like, OK, coach. I wasnt happy about it at first because 88 is my number but I am just doing whatever Ive got to do for the team now.
Perhaps one day Rodriguez can get No. 88 back.
As long as I am on that field, he said, that is all that matters to me.
10. I saved some referee talk for the end but still believe this is important to consider. The NFL got regular officials back on the field three weeks too late. The owners gambled that disaster would not strike and in 48 regular-season games worked by replacement officials, it did in the well-analyzed affair last week in Seattle involving the Green Bay Packers.
No matter how you analyze anything else that happened in that game, the Seahawks got a victory they did not deserve when the NFL acknowledged Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate committed offensive pass interference on the final play. Debate the simultaneous catch rule all you want. There is no catch for the Seahawks if Tate is flagged for pushing off on Packers cornerback Sam Shields.
Here is the rub: There is no way the outcome of the game will not affect the NFL moving forward. It could be the difference in one team winning a division and another not. It could be the difference in one team reaching the playoffs and another not. It could impact playoff seedings. It could lead to some team not making the postseason and a coach being fired. The possibilities are endless at this point. It also will affect the draft order for 2013 and after that waiver wire ordering at the start of next season.
We are not overly concerned, NFL executive vice president of operations Ray Anderson told me outside a hotel in nearby Irving on Saturday morning while the officials were in a meeting. That was the third week of the season. We have 13 more weeks to go. There are a lot of things that impact how teams do overall, including their own performances. We will let that natural laws of the NFL take care of themselves and well see where we are at the end of the year.
The regular officials can make critical mistakes that shift the outcome of a game. They are not perfect. But the NFL had to know inexperienced officials, guys regularly working low-level college games and high school games, were not ready to handle the sport at its highest level. That should be more concerning than it is.
I wonder if the experience and the replacement refs were paid for Week 4 games even though they did not work them was worth it for all of them. Some have been put through the ringer publicly. Those aspiring to move up to higher college ranks may have a tough time now because of the involvement of NFL officials as supervisors in some NCAA conferences.
It was worth it for them because a lot of those guys will tell you it was a lifetime opportunity that because of their passion for the game they just couldnt pass up, Anderson said. Certainly in terms of the training and the development, they got more in the eight, nine weeks they got with us than theyve had ever in their officiating careers.
I think you will have them by and large tell you it was a very positive experience but they will also I think admit no one was ready for the public scrutiny and criticism, some people think unfairly, that was thrown on them. Under those circumstances, I think they did a good job and I think most of them are proud of what they did.
10 a. Cornerback Tim Jennings has been the member of the secondary playing with the most confidence but strong safety Major Wright had two interceptions to give him three in two games. He was also credited with five tackles in press box statistics and free safety Chris Conte had a team-high 11. It bodes well at this early point. The safeties were closely scrutinized in camp and preseason and they have delivered to this point.
10 b. It was interesting to listen to Jay Cutler talk about a message he sent to wide receiver Brandon Marshall this week. He made seven receptions for 138 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. In eight previous seasons under Lovie Smith the Bears have had two wide receivers enjoy bigger games Johnny Knox with 145 yards last season vs. the Lions and Devin Aromashodu with 150 yards vs. the Vikings in 2009.
I just wanted him to play within the system and play a full game and not worry about the plays being called and not worry about balls coming to him and where they are going, Cutler said. Play Bears football. Play like he did in Denver with us. Let it come to him. I thought he was patient, he got a little chippy there in the first half and settled down and when his number was dialed up he made plays. Thats what hes got to do. Thats his style of football and thats where we are at right now offensively.
I think I am probably a little more the level headed one, believe it or not, on the field than Brandon. He has a lot of highs and lows but when he is playing well he is hard to stop. Weve got to keep even level and playing in the system and try to get him the ball as much as possible. That is my job.
The most impressive thing about Marshalls effort? He was only targeted eight times.
10 c. It probably deserved more play much higher but the complexion of the game changed for Dallas when the Bears throttled running back DeMarco Murray. He made 24 yards on 11 carries and had just 11 yards on is final 10 carries. That set the tone for the interceptions in a major way.
10 d. Quarterback Jay Cutler explained the decision by Bears coach Lovie Smith to defer after winning the coin toss and put the defense on the field first.
You know, on the road, we like to give our defense a chance, Cutler said. At home, we like to go ahead and take the ball. Both ways are good with me. I have no preference.
10 e. Lovie Smith joked that you didnt think linebacker Lance Briggs was as fast as he ran on the 74-yard interception return for a touchdown. It will be interesting to see what he says this week.
I haven't run that long in a long time, that far, Briggs said.
10 f. Nickel cornerback D.J. Moore shared significant time with Kelvin Hayden, who said it was to give Moore a breather. It could have been the coaches were not thrilled with Moores effort. He acknowledged he was tackling like a fool but the interception he made certainly will help him in film evaluation.
10 g. The Bears gear up to face the Jaguars for the first time in four years and make their first trip to Jacksonville since Lovie Smiths first season in 2004. Smith tried to hire Jaguars quarterbacks coach Greg Olson in January. Olson, who was the quarterbacks coach under Dick Jauron in 2003, was offered a job as quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator but opted to head to Jacksonville after he served as Raheem Morris offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bears then landed Jeremy Bates to become quarterbacks coach. It was an interesting choice for Olson. Smith was probably viewed by outsiders to be in a must-win situation and the Jaguars probably looked more secure with a first-year head coach in Mike Mularkey even if general manager Gene Smith has long been rumored to be on the hot seat. But in choosing the Jaguars Olson is working with a prospect that might already be fading in Blaine Gabbert, the teams first-round pick in 2011, and not a veteran like Jay Cutler.
10 h. The Fox crew of Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston and Tony Siragusa will call the Bears-Jaguars game.
10 i. Referee Ron Winter and his crew have been assigned to work the Bears-Jaguars game.
10 j. The Bears ought to already be excited for a special teams meeting coming soon with the Lions, who visit Soldier Field for the next prime time appearance on Oct. 22 on Monday Night Football. In Detroits home loss to the Vikings Sunday, Minnesotas Percy Harvin had a 105-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the game and Marcus Sherels added a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown. The week before at Tennessee, the Titans had a kickoff return and punt return for touchdowns making the Lions the first club since 1940 to allow kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns in consecutive weeks, according to STATS LLC. Lions coach Jim Schwartz said afterward firing special teams coordinator Danny Crossman is not a consideration.
The game vs. the Lions will be the next appearance on Monday Night Football for the Bears. They are now 8-2 under Lovie Smith in the Monday spotlight.

HostGator.com LLC is a world leading web hosting company with more than 225,000 customers with innovative products and services designed to complement their existing businesses. The company was founded in year 2002, it grown from a small hosting company with just three servers into a world leading and industry recognized hosting provider with more than 7,000 servers under management. The over two million domains hosted by HostGator make up approximately 1% of the world's Internet traffic.
Here's my little experience with HostGator service and support.
Well, let me say first that I moved to Hostgator after finding that someone's e-commerce site was totally flying in terms of speed of contents delivery and she was hosting it all off hostgator's lower end shared hosting plans. So I decided to move few of my domains to hostgator and even opened a reseller account with them to get a bit of boost in performance.
Yesterday I was working to update my Wordpress Membership Plugin (MemberWing allows to build free membership sites) – and it was supposes to send an email when new user is paid and signed up.
Everything was working but that piece – sending email. It was kinda annyoing to me to deliver software that works but no one get notified that it works. In other words sending email part of script didn't work. So I decided to blame Hostgator and send them email asking it to fix sending email from PHP. My perception was that their security settings was over elevated.
Just to let you know – Hostgator has phone and email support. Phone support may or may not take long time because of time of the day. Sometimes you're #17 in the line, sometimes you're #2 and it get quicker. Although their email support is quite impressively fast.
While 1and1 (my current hoster) tends to give you 24-48hrs ETAs for any meaningful email answer (and you still have a chance to get Paypal-ish type of email reply nonsense fluffed at you) – I was pleasantly surprised to get very fast and technically helpful and detailed responses from HostGator guys on pretty much every email. Bear in mind it often happens that they been very patient to describe detailed solution in email instead of RTFM-ing and FAQ-ing.
So back to my email issue – I sent email to support@hostgator and pretty soon asked by them to provide a source code that i use to send email. This was like 7pm.
I sent them code – they replied again within an hour asking me to clarify some issues. Apparently I setup redirection that confused everyone – so I fixed that part and send them updated script with the source code.
That was 9pm+
Something good happened overnight and early in the morning I received email from Hostgator's
Linux Systems Administrator Matt S. who actually found a bug in my code and found a problem in the way I setup DNS at my other provider's space.
He managed to do something good at Hostgator's backend to make sure that my emailing started to work (even though the way I setup DNS at 1and1 was still problematic) and pointed out on bug in my script that generated an errors.
Really, when was the last time *you* had helpful technical guys to spent nighttime fixing *your* problems, looking at *your* code, adjusting their backend to accomodate issues that *you* created, staying *polite and professional with you* and finally delivering complete working solution so that *your* business will kept running?
Kudos to HostGator!

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement: EDPS warns about its potential incompatibility with EU data protection regime
Today, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) adopted an opinion on current negotiations by the European Union aimed at adopting a new multilateral agreement to strengthen the enforcement of intellectual property rights and to combat counterfeiting and piracy (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement - ACTA).
The EDPS regrets that he was not consulted by the European Commission on the content of an agreement which raises significant issues as regards individuals' fundamental rights, and in particular their right to privacy and data protection. In this context, he views with concern the fact that little information is publicly made available about current negotiations. From what has been reported about the content of ACTA, he is concerned as regards a potential incompatibility between envisaged measures and data protection requirements. This would apply in particular to the legal framework that would be put in place to fight piracy on the Internet and which could include large scale monitoring of Internet users and the imposition of obligations on Internet Services Providers to adopt "three strikes Internet disconnection policies" - also referred to as "graduated response" schemes (*) .
Peter Hustinx, EDPS, says: " Whereas intellectual property is important to society and must be protected, it should not be placed above individuals' fundamental rights to privacy and data protection. A right balance between protection of intellectual property rights and the right to privacy and data protection should be ensured. It is also particularly crucial that data protection requirements are taken into account from the very beginning of the negotiations so as not later on having to find alternative privacy compliant solutions ."
The EDPS main recommendations include the following:
to investigate less intrusive means to fight piracy on the Internet : the EDPS takes the view that three strikes approach policies are not necessary to achieve the purpose of enforcing intellectual property rights. Alternatively, less intrusive solutions should be considered or, at least, envisaged policies should be performed at a more limited scope, notably through targeted ad hoc monitoring ;
to apply appropriate safeguards to all data transfers in the context of ACTA : as far as ACTA involves international exchanges of personal data between authorities and/or private organisations located in the signatory countries, the EDPS calls on the EU to implement appropriate safeguards to all data transfers made in the context of ACTA. Such safeguards should take the form of binding agreements between EU senders and third country recipients;
to establish a public and transparent dialogue on ACTA , possibly by means of a public consultation, which would also help ensuring that the measures to be adopted are compliant with EU privacy and data protection law requirements.
(*) These policies would typically involve disconnection of Internet access after prior warnings for illegal sharing or downloading of copyright protected material.
The opinion ( pdf ) is available on our website.
For more information, please contact the EDPS Press Service at: firstname.lastname@example.com

New York City is the most populous city in the United
States, and the center of the New York metropolitan area,
which is one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the
world. A leading global city, New York exerts a powerful
influence over global commerce, finance, media, culture,
art, fashion, research, education, and entertainment. As
many as 800 languages are spoken in New York City, making it
the most linguistically diverse city in the world.
Possibly the most famous city in the world, New York City
has put itself on the map as the young, dynamic
trend-setting capital of the world. People come to New York
City from all over the world and they are inspired by the
energy that drives New York's innovation in dance, music,
art, film, theater, technology, photography, education, the
culinary arts and much more.
The list of visual attractions in New York is endless,
spanning from architectural triumphs such as the Empire
State Building to breathtaking natural expanses like Central
Park and the Hudson River. New York doesn't just offer the
experience of being a speck on the most famous city skyline
in the world, it offers the chance to experience all that
makes New York an attraction - the sights, smells, tastes,
sounds and cultures that bring New York to life for all its
visitors and inhabitants.
Many districts and landmarks in the city have become well
known to outsiders. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions
of immigrants as they came to America in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. Times Square, iconified as "The
Crossroads of the World", is the brightly illuminated hub of
the Broadway theater district, one of the world's busiest
pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's
entertainment industry. Wall Street, in Lower Manhattan, has
been a premier global financial center since World War II
and is home to the New York Stock Exchange, the world's
largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its
listed companies. The original Manhattan Chinatown attracts
throngs of tourists to its bustling sidewalks and retail
establishments. World-class research universities also
reside in New York City.
As a student at Via Lingua New York you will be much more
than just a tourist because you'll have the chance to live
the life of a New Yorker, interacting with real-life New
Yorkers while quickly developing your teaching and training
skills with us. Every day your classes are designed
specifically to not only bring New York life into the
classroom, but to bring you out into the New York
experience. Greatly increase your understanding of current
teaching practices and methodology and global cultures both
inside and outside the classroom as you grow to understand
what makes New York such a unique place to live.

Green building
Welcome to our green building section!
In this part of the site, you'll find a huge range of books, ebooks and resources covering green building, that also answer the key questions 'what is green building?' and, for that matter, 'what is a green building'?!
If you're looking to build an eco home on the cheap, look no further than the fascinating $50 and up Underground House Book, and get yourself a copy of our new eBook, Grounds for Hope - Ways to Live Legally on Cheap Land in the UK. If, on the other hand, you're planning your own eco 'Grand Designs' home, then Ecohouse: A Design Guide and The Green Self Build Book should be your companions.
Many of us, of course, already have a home that we are simply looking to turn into an green home. In that case, Eco-Refurbishment - A Guide To Saving & Producing Energy In The Home and Converting to an Eco-friendly Home - The Complete Handbook will be indispensable. Good guides to eco paints and applying finishing touches to your eco home or green building can be found in the form of A Handbook For Eco Paints & Finishes, and Using Natural Finishes - Lime & Earth-based Plasters, Renders & Paints. For those looking for information on DIY off-grid photovoltaics, we can recommend the DIY 12 Volt Solar Power handbook, available in both eBook and printed versions.
If you're looking a build something a little different to the modernist eco house, then grab a copy of Building with Cob, Building with Straw Bales, or The Complete Yurt Handbook.
Finally, if you want some inspiration for building your green home, Ben Law's stunning The Woodland House is a great place to start, as are Shelter and Builders of the Pacific Coast.
Happy green building!

Amazing natural features aren't the only major drawcard for visitors to Australia – Australian theme parks are also a great attraction and provide an awesome destination for those looking for some thrills and family entertainment!
Over the years, Australia has become increasingly praised for the quality of its theme parks, with competition forcing each park to continuously attempt to one-up the other by creating more and more outrageously fun rides while also catering to both kids and those family members who may not be of the "adrenaline junkie" variety.

Nice hearing some of these less heralded guys make some noise.
Last Modified: Aug 4, 2012 02:11AM
At training camp, you expect to see Brandon Marshall make one-handed catches in the end zone, Matt Forte burst through holes, Charles Tillman intercept passes and Robbie Gould drill long field goals.
Theyre Pro Bowl-caliber players who are locks to make the 53-man roster.
But through eight practices, some young players fighting for roster spots have made quick impressions. Second-year defensive tackle Stephen Paea elevating his play and rookie wide receiver Alshon Jeffery flashing his immense potential cant be deemed surprises because both were second-round picks. But several unheralded players are turning some heads and making some noise.
Heres a closer look at five whove sparkled:
1. OT Cory Brandon, 6-7, 324 pounds, Oklahoma, second NFL season Entering the 2010 college season, Brandon was on the Outland Trophy watch list. But he plummeted to third team on the depth chart and went undrafted in 2011. His only NFL experience was spending the preseason with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But since joining the Bears, he has showcased his tantalizing combination of size and athleticism at right tackle.
Everyone is now seeing whatll happen when confidence meets ability, his agent, Mark Magazu, said. Thats really the difference.
If Brandon continues his development, he might threaten the job security of Chris Williams, a former first-round pick who is set to make $1 million if he makes the 53-man roster. (LOL) After initially competing with JMarcus Webb to start at left tackle, Williams has spent the last few days backing up Gabe Carimi on the right side.
2. OT James Brown, 6-4, 306 pounds, Troy, rookie A two-year starter at Troy, Brown went undrafted but had at least five teams interested in him. Brown made a decision as soon as he heard from the Bears.
I was born in Chicago, so this has been my favorite team since Day 1, Brown said. This has been a gift from God.
Born at St. Bernard Hospital on the South Side, Browns family moved to Mississippi when he was 5. In 2005, he was a state weightlifting champion.
Brown has fared well against Bears first-round pick Shea McClellin in one-on-one drills, and he has plenty of upside. On Wednesday, he worked as the backup to Webb at left tackle with Williams sliding over to the right side.
That was a very big surprise, Brown said. I found out right before we came out here on the field. Im feeling pretty good. Im learning more and more every day.
3. DT Nate Collins, 6-2, 296 pounds, Virginia, third NFL season An undrafted free agent, Collins started his career with the New York Giants on their practice squad but landed a roster spot with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he played in 13 games over two seasons. This offseason, more than a half-dozen teams were interested in him, but he signed a one-year deal with the Bears.
On July 20, the NFL announced that Collins had been suspended one game without pay for violating the leagues substance-abuse program.
Collins, though, has shown explosiveness and power, athletic traits that shouldnt come as a surprise because he played fullback, tailback, tight end, wide receiver, defensive tackle, linebacker and quarterback in high school. Collins also lettered in basketball and baseball.
4. CB Isaiah Frey, 6-0, 190 pounds, Nevada, rookie Although hes a draft pick, Frey wasnt taken until the sixth round, which means hes far from a shoo-in to secure a roster spot. A three-year starter at Nevada, Frey has distinguished himself with his ferocity. He uses his size well and seems to pick his spots wisely when trying to make a big hit or a big play. As a senior, Frey had 16 pass break-ups and picked off five passes. There seems to be plenty of competition for cornerback spots after Tillman, Tim Jennings and D.J. Moore. Veteran Kelvin Hayden has fared well, and Jonathan Wilhite has had his share of highs and lows.
5. WR Brittan Golden, 5-11, 186 pounds, West Texas A&M, rookie There are a lot of players ahead of him on the depth chart, but Golden hasnt been deterred, making his share of highlight catches in camp. He lacks blazing speed but has excellent hands and a knack for making difficult catches in traffic. At West Texas A&M, he finished second in school history with 3,007 receiving yards and scored 33 touchdowns.
Golden also has a great attitude.
I try to come in every day with the mind-set that I can compete at this level and try to disregard the fact that Im playing with guys Ive looked up to my entire life, he said. You just got to let that go and realize that youre here to play, too.
His goal? Just have to make an impression and hope the coaches notice, he said.
