text: Your Life Torn Open, essay 3: Get over it 03 February 11 by Jeff Jarvis Tweet Nick Wilson CASE STUDY: TRACKING YOUR MOVESWith countless companies now tracking your data online, one question remains: who will watch the watchers? With the right software, you can. US firm Ghostery (ghostery.com), founded by serial web entrepreneur David Cancel in 2009 and subsequently bought by the Better Advertising group, is a browser add-on designed to reveal the web you normally don't see.The service flags up a list of the tracking scripts embedded in a webpage, often hidden behind multimedia scripts such as Java and Flash. It then provides an in-depth profile on each so that you can monitor what information is being accessed and can block the script if you don't like the look of it. The application has already been downloaded over two million times, and has profiled more than 400 tracking companies. "We advocate a self-regulatory principle," says product manager Andy Kahl. "You can't just block everything. There must be a middle ground. Your data is valuable -- this stuff helps fund the web. But it needs to be done responsibly and people need to be aware of what's being done with their data."Last year ex-Google engineer Brian Kennish created Facebook Disconnect (disconnectere.com), a browser extension for Chrome that allows users to remove Facebook Connect from third-party sites. It attracted 50,000 users in two weeks and made the top ten Google Chrome add-ons. Disconnect also prevents third parties such as Facebook, Google and Twitter from gathering data about the pages you visit and the search terms that you use. Kennish calls it "Web 2.1 -- a privacy patch for the web". Oliver FranklinCASE STUDY: THE SPY IN YOUR POCKETOn August 19, 2010, Apple applied for a patent with the title "Systems and methods for identifying unauthorised users of an electronic device" (Apple's emphasis). The specs describe how a photo could be taken "without a flash, any noise, or any indication that a picture is being taken to prevent the current user from knowing he is being photographed." The iPhone (say) could record that user's voice and their keystrokes, similarly without their knowledge; the accelerometer could "determine the mode of transportation of the electronic device" to identify the "vibration profile for movement types such as running, walking, riding on a train, riding in a car, flying in a plane, or riding on a bike"; GPS could determine the user's position. The iPhone could even record an electrocardiogram of the user's heartbeat.The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a US digital-rights group, described the patent as "traitorware". Apple told WIRED that it does not comment on patents. On the other side of the Pacific, researchers from KDDI, a large Japanese telecoms manufacturer, last year developed a phone that monitors manual workers' performance by analysing physical movement using accelerometers. KDDI says the tech will improve efficiency. Smartphones -- always with you, always internet connected and always geolocated -- may be privacy's greatest threat. Tom Cheshire Edited by Liat Clark Back to start 12 Read on one page Comments Nice heads up on what's happening with Japanese laborers and the phones in their pockets.However, it was pretty crazy the way that the virtues of social media were suddenly given a celebration as the article was closing out, considering the lame olive branch to privacy/individuality at the end. It's good to show what this tech can do to help people organize against an old, cruel, and crumbling dictatorship, of course. But really, holding up an application that shows the tracking scripts that are happening at various websites; that shows the sort of data that is being accessed; and that also has options for blocking offensive scripts is not going to be of use to my mother, the retirees she meets at the shopping mall on the weekend, my high school educated co-workers, or even me when I've missed an update. It does, however, give a big excuse to Facebook and the other aggregators of our information to say that the sky is the limit, as far as they are concerned--without us really getting to know how much they are concerned, in fact, and about doing what.Self-regulatory? For those who aren't fluent in scripts? And who haven't yet thought of everything that might be done with what is surrendered, no matter how complex and surprising the options might be (surprising, that is, relative to those that make a career of data exploitation)? Make no mistake, aggregators will always seek this sort of advantage, but the non-tech savvy are just as human and worthwhile as the rest of us. This sort of battle is a waste of time, and the public good--for individuals, for citizens--seems to call for accountability from the enforcement agencies (which could, and often probably are, monitoring this anyhow) and the corporations, entrepreneurs, and digital gurus that are often more concerned with the efficient spread of their technology than they are with the individual well-being of those using it. Many (most?) are looking at and clicking at a computer screen that looks quite clean, beautiful, and friendly.However, I applaud the time given in this article to the serious concerns about the trajectories here. Tribalism brings with it boundaries to thought and behavior, just as sharing shatters those boundaries of information. "The citizen" is a great advancement, but yes, the citizen lives in a society. As usual, greed and deception are the dangers. Let's not let the "Tribe" seem too attractive--to me it seems more like a step backwards, for the sake of a business model or some 'big-minded' spiritual/morality pyramid scheme or something. billl Feb 20th 2011 "Half a billion people can't be wrong."This is where this "argument", if it can be graciously termed as such, completely falls apart.Of course people can be wrong, and the number of people who believe something does not make it true. Dis Feb 20th 2011 One of the biggest downsides of this new social norm towards increased publicness is what happens to those who refuse to participate. As a young person without a Facebook account or any social media presence I face increasing peer pressure and stigma for not "sharing" more of my life with everyone I meet. The social norm has become that by the second time two people meet they've already researched eachother on facebook and know many details of eachother's lives. Not using these networks throws some people off and makes them think you must be hiding something. (despite the fact that if I really was some sort of psyco the first thing I would do would be to create a facebook account and make it PG so as to allay suspicion, but most people don't seem to grasp this) I already pay an incredible social price for not "sharing" and this only gets stronger with time. I pray that society will maintain some accommodation for those like me who abhor the idea of making any details of our lives public.

Trayvon Martin Surveillance Video: 7-Eleven Cameras Show Teen Just Before Shooting
by Free Britney at .Surveillance video of some of Florida teen Trayvon Martin's final moments before being fatally shot by George Zimmerman have just surfaced online.
In his infamous hoodie, Martin can be seen in a video released by 7-Eleven, where he purchased Skittles and an iced tea before walking home Feb. 26.
He was shot by Zimmerman after an altercation on his way back to the home of his father's fiancé, where he was staying, triggering a media firestorm.
The video below doesn't change anything about the controversial case, as the shooting - which Zimmerman claims was self-defense - is obviously not shown.
Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder but remains free on bail. Martin's family yesterday criticized a series of leaks in the case.
Without video of the altercation itself, it remains to be seen who instigated what, and if the charge against the assailant will stand up in court.

@Julie DON'T TALK WITH OUR MOUTH FULL! Yeah, you are well fed, ha! You just came out because you were flushed out by comments below...you, the biggest troll bitch on this site!

You warn people here against...what? The very thing you are! Go home, Puppet Master--entertain yourself---I'm sure you are quite bored with life, with yourself. We know you are 67! Always slithering about looking for victims as usual. Shooo! Go away!
As a Floridian as well as a bi-racial hispanic i must say that im glad that i do not follow this type or any type of news. Im kind of sadden that this is dividing the country just like the OJ Simpson case did in '93 or '94. At the same time everyone is entitled to their opinion.
people, his name was TRAYVON! come on. from day one, this kid was marked to grow up and be the thug he turned out to be. he would have knocked up telisha, labeesha, loleesha, and moeesha and, of course, never paid child support or married any of these women. thats how they roll. this is an open and shut case and zimmerman will be found not guilty and will go free.

What role did the U.S. play in the Allied victory in World War I?
The United States did not win World War I for the Allied Forces - but they did play a major role in bringing the war to a close and sealing an Allied victory.
The U.S. Navy also played a very important role in the Allied cause. Once the U.S. entered the war, shipyard building grew exponentially due to help from US government. The Navy transported troops, supplies, and food to Europe. The Navy employed a convoy system to travel overseas, using merchant vessels surrounded by destroyers and cruisers. This "Bridge to France" helped stop the problem of submarine warfare. The Navy also helped in fighting U-boat warfare by using submarine chasers, and aircraft. They laid down a 230 mile barrier of mines from Scotland to Norway to bottle up German U-boats as well, and German U-boat warfare was reduced greatly. |
According to David Kennedy, Professor at Stanford University, "the actual military contribution of the United States to the fighting in the end of the conflict was absolutely minimal. In so far as the presence of America made a difference in Germany's decision to surrender, it was not because of success on the battlefield at the Meusse Argonne, or anywhere else for that matter. It was because the entrance of America into the war, and its demonstrated capacity to move its army across the Atlantic in huge numbers, now faced the Germans with the prospect of a virtual endless limitless supply of reinforcements that could be brought to the Allied side."

Tues-Thurs 5:30-10pm; Fri-Sat 5:30-11pm
great food, a little pricey but worth it – not sure why citysearch mentions you need a reservation at least 3 days in advance because i made one for sat night the same day and the place was empty. and also not so sure its trendy or a night club. however, the food was spectacular and the service very attentive. the entrees are a bit overpriced but they were so good that i didnt mind. i got the halibut which is the best i have ever had. the fish itself was cooked to perfection and everything that came on the side was delicious. my friend got the shrimp curry which she said was the best meal she has had in a while. you should definitely try it out if you get the chance. you will end up paying ~$50 a head, though.
Love it! – The setting of the restaurant is very beautiful and has a nice realxing atmosphere to it. The service was spectacular. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. She really gave great descriptions on how all the meals were prepared and what they consisted off. A very creative menu I must say. I went with 5 other friends and we all throught our meals were absolutely delicious! We kept putting bits of food on each others plates saying "you have to try this!" It was a lot of fun. Well worth the price you pay, I will definately recommend this to others in the future.
Missed the mark – While the concept is brilliant, foods from around the world on the same latitude as San Diego, the execution falls short. We started our meal with the Asian Duck Confit salad with grapefruit, jicama and candied pecans. I know duck is best rare, but this was dangerously undercooked and the fat from the duck coated the vegetables rendering them a soggy mess. The curried calamari wasn't bad although the server neglected to bring out the mango salsa mentioned on the menu. For an entree I had the pan seared halibut and cous cous. It wasn't bad mind you, but the fish was really underseasoned. for thirty bucks a plate, i'd expect a little more.
the exotic menu really gets your taste buds going, but the food just doesn't live up to the hype.
Wonderful, Ecclectic Food – Located in a trendy block of Mission Hills. The duck with gnocchi was perfectly cooked and the zataar Chicken was moist and favorful. I definitely recommend reservations. A great place for a romantic date.
Flavors and textures from around the world give locals a taste of Middle Eastern spice, Asian preparations and European elegance. – In Short
Geography buffs might recognize the connection between San Diego, Morocco, Lebanon, India, China and Japan: they all lie on the earth's 33rd parallel. This commonality between countries translates to a global-inspired cuisine fusing the exotic flavors native to each region. The dining space also reflects a mélange of cultures in its ornate detail and vibrant color. Globe trot to India for elegantly plated pan-seared shrimp curry with coconut basmati rice and crispy shallots.

A loose swan on the M50 Northbound this morning caused major delays for communters.
AA Roadwatch issued a warning to motorists this morning to take extra caution on the motorway this morning due to a loose swan.
Gardai are currently on scene scurrying the swan to safety, away from oncoming traffic.
The swan's origins are unclear, but it was recovered between Junction 5 at Finglas and Junction 6 at Blanchardstown.
It's safe to say he ruffled a few feathers this morning.

I would like to paint my bathroom white - just to start. I'm looking for a BM white that is suitable for a bathroom. There are Soooo many whites!! Can somebody please suggest a regular white that is good for a small condo bathroom (I have orangey/grey tiles)?
It is called " Fine LInens" not Edwardian Linen
Look at Ralph Lauren " Edwardian Linen" I think it is called.
Saw that in a bathroom and very nice.
Sorry it is this one... :)
I have decorator white throughout my house. It's a very pure white with no dominant undertone. If you have a lot of light in your bathroom DW may seem too bright. Ask the store what undertones you have. I used a white with a pink undertone once and never liked it. Check out Chantilly Lace.
You/re right, there ARE so many whites out there!!!!!!!!!!!! It can be really easy or really hard to pick a white -- it depends on if you want a true white, or a white that has an undertone. Some whites are so NOT white, makes you wonder why they're called white!!
I used BM Oxford White on the mantel & window frames in our family room. It's pretty much a pure white, with the absolute faintest tiny hint of cream. And I used Sico Icing Sugar in the guest bathroom, which is a creamy white. There might be a picture of it around here somewhere......
[I]Edited to add.... here's the only pic I can find of the Icing Sugar bathroom. You can't see much of the walls, but they're the exact same colour as the shower curtain.[/I]

dudes, so yesterday, i don't know what possessed me (i think it was the fact that my usual fashion consultant/talk-me-down-off-a-cliff-er is unreachable at the moment) but i bought a pair of army green suede shorts (yeah, i said it, SHORTS) at the acne sample sale yesterday. i think part of it was that i picked them up and was like, 'suede shorts? yeah right!' but when i tried them on, they looked ridicks (good ridicks) and when i was talking to the cashier dude i was like, 'ummm...these are kinda amazing.' and he was like, 'ummm...they're totally amazing.' (he was also kinda good looking). then he was like, 'i saw those and was going to buy them tomorrow if no one else did.' (likely a lie to convince someone into a COMPLETELY irrational purchase -- mission accomplished!). also, they were about 80% off of the original price. it also helped, i think, that i was wearing the perfect storm of clothing to go with them: biz caj sweater/shirt combo on top, my new favorite uniqlo striped hiking socks on bottom. it looked SO GOOD. so i bought them:
detail on the shorts:
detail on my new favorite pair of socks:
RIDICKS! obvs, b/c they're suede they hold their shape really well which is awesome because they make these weird stand-out trapezoids away from my leg that i've been digging at least since what i would have to say is still my gold standard for avant shorts, raf's s/s 07 collection:
THIS STILL LOOKS SO GOOD. also, i like that i look like i'm the adopted member of a german boy's choir singing on a scenic hill somewhere.
anyways, i'm TOTALLY PSYCHED THAT IT'S WINTER TIME because this means by the time i can actually wear them, i'll be way over them. or maybe not? i think i'm going to try and push them for winter wear but i don't know if i could actually pull it off.would it be weird to wear them with running tights and still those same socks? i will have to try this out. oh, maybe long johns?

text: Yeah my story of much older siblings isn't a happy one. My brother is 11 years older and really doesn't notice me. I'm 29 and he still doesn't know how to spell my name. My sister is 8 years older than me and has pretty much hated me since birth. I've never had a pleasant moment with her and we haven't talked in 10 years. Of course I wish things were different but I can't change being born.

Los Angeles July 7, 2005 It is estimated that hearing loss occurs in approximately 12,000 children each year. With technological breakthroughs in auditory science like the cochlear implant, children with severe to profound hearing loss are able to improve their abilities to communicate and learn in a world wired for sound. July 2005 marks the 25th Anniversary of the first pediatric cochlear implantation in the United States, a milestone for the House Ear Institute (HEI), which received FDA approval for a clinical trial in July 1980 to implant three patients under the age of 18 with the single-channel cochlear implant. This single-channel device had been developed at HEI by William House, M.D., in the 1960s and successfully implanted in adults. HEIs clinical trial led to successful implantation of the same device in the first pre-school-aged child the following year, to much fanfare and controversy. Over the next 10 years, other centers in the U.S. initiated FDA pediatric clinical trials under the guidance of the House Ear Institute in partnership with 3M Company. Once a more sophisticated multi-channel device gained clinical acceptance, HEI became the first center in the U.S. to implant a young child with it, paving the way for expanded use.
House Ear Institute building in Los Angeles, California
With the development of multi-channel cochlear implants, recipients have been able to realize even greater benefits from this technology. The multi-channel cochlear implant was FDA-approved for pediatric use in 1990. In the early 1990s, the pediatric implant program at the House Ear Institute/House Clinic typically implanted about 12 children per year. Today, approximately 55 children are implanted through this program annually, and physicians of the House Clinic have trained colleagues around the world to perform the cochlear implant surgery. The cochlear implant has proved to be one of the most significant advances in the treatment of deafness, and as it has continued to improve technologically approximately 50,000 pediatric patients have received these devices worldwide.
Hearing is essential to spoken language development, and the earlier hearing loss occurs in a childs life, the more serious its effects on communication and learning, said researcher Laurie Eisenberg, Ph.D., House Ear Institute, who also was an audiologist on the first pediatric cochlear implant team in 1980. Today, we implant children as early as 12 months, which means we can positively affect communication at a crucial stage of development, continued Eisenberg.
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted electronic devices that also include externally worn components. The implants provide sound information for people who are unable to hear conversational-level speech through the use of even the most powerful hearing aids. Many patients are able to understand speech with a cochlear implant, and most children who are appropriate candidates are able to develop functional oral communication skills and even attend regular educational programs.
About the House Ear Institute
The House Ear Institute (HEI) is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to advancing hearing science through research and education to improve quality of life. HEI scientists are exploring the causes of auditory disorders at the cellular and molecular level as well as the complex relationship between the ear and brain, and refining the application of auditory implants, diagnostic techniques and hearing aids.

Excitation Energy Transfer Dynamics and Excited-State Structure in Chlorosomes of Chlorobium phaeobacteroides Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 2, 1 February 2003, Pages 1161-1179 Jakub Pšenčík, Ying-Zhong Ma, Juan B. Arellano, Jan Hála and Tomas Gillbro Abstract The excited-state relaxation within bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) e and a in chlorosomes of Chlorobium phaeobacteroides has been studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy at room temperature. Singlet-singlet annihilation was observed to strongly influence both the isotropic and anisotropic decays. Pump intensities in the order of 1011 photons×pulse−1×cm−2 were required to obtain annihilation-free conditions. The most important consequence of applied very low excitation doses is an observation of a subpicosecond process within the BChl e manifold (∼200–500 fs), manifesting itself as a rise in the red part of the Qy absorption band of the BChl e aggregates. The subsequent decay of the kinetics measured in the BChl e region and the corresponding rise in the baseplate BChl a is not single-exponential, and at least two components are necessary to fit the data, corresponding to several BChl e→BChl a transfer steps. Under annihilation-free conditions, the anisotropic kinetics show a generally slow decay within the BChl e band (10–20ps) whereas it decays more rapidly in the BChl a region (∼1ps). Analysis of the experimental data gives a detailed picture of the overall time evolution of the energy relaxation and energy transfer processes within the chlorosome. The results are interpreted within an exciton model based on the proposed structure. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (336 kb) |
Triplet Exciton Formation as a Novel Photoprotection Mechanism in Chlorosomes of Chlorobium tepidum Biophysical Journal, Volume 93, Issue 1, 1 July 2007, Pages 192-201 Hanyoup Kim, Hui Li, Julia A. Maresca, Donald A. Bryant and Sergei Savikhin Abstract Chlorosomes comprise thousands of bacteriochlorophylls (BChl c, d, or e) in a closely packed structure surrounded by a lipid-protein envelope and additionally contain considerable amounts of carotenoids, quinones, and BChl a. It has been suggested that carotenoids in chlorosomes provide photoprotection by rapidly quenching triplet excited states of BChl via a triplet-triplet energy transfer mechanism that prevents energy transfer to oxygen and the formation of harmful singlet oxygen. In this work we studied triplet energy transfer kinetics and photodegradation of chlorosomes isolated from wild-type Chlorobium tepidum and from genetically modified species with different types of carotenoids and from a carotenoid-free mutant. Supporting a photoprotective function of carotenoids, carotenoid-free chlorosomes photodegrade ∼3 times faster than wild-type chlorosomes. However, a significant fraction of the BChls forms a long-lived, triplet-like state that does not interact with carotenoids or with oxygen. We propose that these states are triplet excitons that form due to triplet-triplet interaction between the closely packed BChls. Numerical exciton simulations predict that the energy of these triplet excitons may fall below that of singlet oxygen and triplet carotenoids; this would prevent energy transfer from triplet BChl. Thus, the formation of triplet excitons in chlorosomes serves as an alternative photoprotection mechanism. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (337 kb) |
Internal Structure of Chlorosomes from Brown-Colored Chlorobium Species and the Role of Carotenoids in Their Assembly Biophysical Journal, Volume 91, Issue 4, 15 August 2006, Pages 1433-1440 Jakub Pšenčík, Juan B. Arellano, Teemu P. Ikonen, Carles M. Borrego, Pasi A. Laurinmäki, Sarah J. Butcher, Ritva E. Serimaa and Roman Tuma Abstract Chlorosomes are the main light harvesting complexes of green photosynthetic bacteria. Recently, a lamellar model was proposed for the arrangement of pigment aggregates in Chlorobium tepidum chlorosomes, which contain bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c as the main pigment. Here we demonstrate that the lamellar organization is also found in chlorosomes from two brown-colored species (Chl. phaeovibrioides and Chl. phaeobacteroides) containing BChl e as the main pigment. This suggests that the lamellar model is universal among green sulfur bacteria. In contrast to green-colored Chl. tepidum, chlorosomes from the brown-colored species often contain domains of lamellar aggregates that may help them to survive in extremely low light conditions. We suggest that carotenoids are localized between the lamellar planes and drive lamellar assembly by augmenting hydrophobic interactions. A model for chlorosome assembly, which accounts for the role of carotenoids and secondary BChl homologs, is presented. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (843 kb) |

Fluorescence spectra of single chlorosomes isolated from a green filamentous bacterium (Chloroflexus (Cfl.) aurantiacus) and a green sulfur bacterium (Chlorobium (Cb.) tepidum) were measured by using a confocal laser microscope at 13K. Chlorosomes were frozen either in a liquid solution (floating chlorosome) or on a quartz plate after being adsorbed (adsorbed chlorosome). Fluorescence peak wavelengths were shorter for the adsorbed single chlorosomes than for the floating ones. Single floating Cfl. chlorosomes showed a distribution of fluorescence peak positions having a center at 759.0nm with a full width at half maximum of 6.3nm. Single floating Cb. chlorosomes showed a 782.7nm center with a full width at half-maximum of 3.4nm. The distribution shifted to the blue and became wider with increasing temperature, especially in Cb. chlorosomes, suggesting a large excitonic density of states just above the lowest level. Energy transfer from BChl-c aggregates to BChl-a molecules in the baseplate proteins was observed in the floating chlorosomes but not in the adsorbed ones. A positive correlation was found between the peak wavelength of BChl-c fluorescence and the intensity of BChl-a fluorescence in single Cfl. chlorosomes. The results suggest that the BChl-c aggregates with longer wavelengths of the fluorescence peaks have a more efficient Förster-type energy transfer to the baseplate BChl-a.

Can I say I LOVE THIS DRESS!
I went to DB with my daughter, and I tired on maybe 5 to 7 different dresses. I like them but was not in love with them. The woman that was helping me suggested this dress. I put it on and looked in the mirror and was in love with it.
May 2, 2010
Best dress ever, felt so beautiful, most flattering. I originally pictured my dream wedding gown being a huge ball gown type and than realized quickly after trying that style on it wasn't for me or my body type. I never thought about a pick up dress, but as soon as I tried this one on I instantly fell in love. I just felt the most beautiful in it. This dress works well with people of all different shapes and sizes. It really accentuates your waist especially if you have bigger hips. This dress is gorgeous and I cannot wait to wear it on my big day!!!

Loved It
I went into David's Bridal and it was the second dress that i tried on! My Mother, sister, cousin and everyone around us was saying how beautiful it was, so elegant, comfortable, and flattering! I cant wait for my future husband to see me in it! I truly am excited for my wedding now Thank you :)
April 20, 2010
simply amazing
I went into David's Bridal just to try some on and get an idea of what I do and don't like. This was the second dress I tried on. From the moment I saw it, I knew it was beautiful! I put it on and I walked out and cried my eyes out! My friend as well as the bridal consultant were all crying. This dress is truely breathtaking! It's super comfortable and the bead work on it is gorgeous!

With the 26th pick of Pride of Detroit's 2012 NFL mock draft, the Houston Texans select Stanford tight end Coby Fleener. Kyle Peter is serving as the Texans' general manager, and his reasoning for the pick is below.
I volunteered to fill in at the last moment expecting this to be an easy decision. The Texans have a long standing need to find another weapon in the passing attack to take some pressure off of Andre Johnson. Nose tackle is another huge need, but no true NTs are valued at this spot. There will also be better value at the NT spot later on. Josh Chapman would be a great fit, but he's nowhere near a first-round grade. I added Coby Fleener to the mix just to provide some sort of competition for Kendall Wright.
I considered Coby Fleener, Stephen Hill and Kendall Wright (5'10", 190 lbs.). It came down to Fleener and Wright, as Hill is just too raw. In the end, Fleener won out. The more I investigated Coby, the more I wondered why he wasn't getting more recognition in the media. Rookie receivers are more hit or miss than the TE group and have a steeper learning curve. There's also more depth at the receiver position in this draft, allowing Houston to come back in a later round to address it if desired. The recent loss of Joel Dreessen, who signed with Denver, has opened up a gap in the TE group. Owen Daniels is talented but has struggled with injuries recently. They also have Garrett Graham and his one regular season catch on the depth chart. These facts just added to the value Fleener would hold for the Texans.Coby Fleener (6'6", 254 lbs.) is the most NFL-ready TE. He'll provide a better red-zone target than Daniels (6'3") and runs a blazing 4.45 40. That's as fast as Wright while being eight inches taller and 60 pounds heavier! Let's put those numbers side by side:
Kendall Wright (5'10", 190 lbs., 4.44 40)
Coby Fleener (6'6", 254 lbs., 4.45 40)
Fleener is just as explosive as Wright. In fact, he posted greater YPC than Wright did his senior season and that's without having defenders worried about RGIII's running dimension out of the backfield.
His career stats at Stanford showcase his ability to make impact plays in the passing game, including an amazing one-handed TD grab against UCLA. 96 career receptions, 1,543 career receiving yards and 18 career TDs. During his senior campaign he averaged a ridiculous 19.6 YPC. He is very good at working the seam, getting in and out of breaks to gain separation, and he rarely gets jammed at the line. While he isn't known for his blocking, he does show the skills necessary to develop in that area. It's just something he was not asked to do at Stanford.

In the end, I felt Fleener had just as much upside as Wright. While not as hyped, his size/speed ratio being so much greater than Wright's was too hard to pass up.

eak3 I like your simplicity and everyones open acceptance that all these random events on the island make senese some how.
One thing troubles me, I remember someone saying Jacob (or someone)deliberately crashed Oceanic to save the Island, he wanted a replacement and then it emerged he had chosen people who had no hope etc. This is kinda ingenious, great writing and sums up the Supernatural elements for me.
I wasn't so invested in the series this last season so really enjoyed it for what it was a beautiful two hours of memorable TV.
"it's just a line of chalk on a wall in a cave - the job is yours if you want it..."
Jacob's line a couple episodes ago gave me peace about the show - perception is reality - the writers took us on a hell of a journey - that's it - enjoy it for what it is...its up to each individual to make sense of the show/life - "every answer will only lead to another question.."
I've traveled around the globe - read a ton of books and my conclusion is there is a spirituality to this world - but nobody has a firm grasp of just what the heck it is - muslims, catholics, etc...every religion thinks they got the corner on the market - but everybody is just as Lost as the next one...
don't worry about all the answers - surely your life could have taken a different turn but you'll never get that answer...personal connections are what make life interesting...
just my perception ---- loved it last night - still love it today - might hate in a week - probably will love more in 5 years - thats probably against somebody's rules, right?
Drive Shaft needs more cowbell....
so many people totally missing what happened in this amazing finale. THe island events did happen to these characters. Some died on the island others like Saywer, Kate, Lapidus, Ben and Miles got off the island. Christian's dad explained it perfectly, all the oceanic 6 and there loved ones died at some point and they couldnt move on to heavan without coming together in the afterlife first. It was a great end to a great show.
@ Alienmastermind
I'm with you on the whole Tunisia thing, it makes sense that the with the Earth constantly in motion. The question remains if its always Tunisia or if there are other "spots" around the world where people have popped up after turning the wheel.
As for the polar bears, it was a specific Dharma experiment involving gene therapy and manipulating the polar bears dna to be able to survive in a tropical climate. The plan was to get them to survive on the island and then re-introduce them to a polar environment to complete the process.
I must admit, I came into the finale (after reading a few of the producers interviews) and was prepared for the worst series ending show ever. I'm glad I was sooo wrong.
I know this is impossible, but I would love to know the demographics of all the people answering. It appears that those of us with more "life experience" (just a nice way of saying older .. lol) seem to have generally really loved the ending as oppossed to the younger viewers, who have not had the chance yet to fully experience the ups and downs of life. The hard decisions and the regrets of choices you've both made and did not make.
I have been very suprised at the mixture of reviews for the finale. Did they answer all the questions, obviously not. Did some things pop up, like Jacks son, that seemed awkward and out of place, sure. I also believe they came up with one of the most creative ends to a story that I have ever seen. Many are calling it a "cop out", but I feel that the constant twists and turns, even till the bitter end were amazing.
As I said to a friend...there is still a story about the island from before Oceanic 815 crashed there, and there is a story about the island after Jack dies too (Hurley and Ben, etc.). This story was about a finite amount of time on the island. For example, after the first time you saw Star Wars, did you feel cheated just because you didn't know how Darth Vader became Darth Vader? No, it wasn't his story. You just accepted that he was who he was. It was Luke's story. I feel it's the same here. It was Jack's story, from the time he opened his eyes till the end when he closed them. And I loved every minute of it.
The Tunisia thing.
My theory on this is that when you travel through time, you must also travel through space. So, say I travel ten minutes into the future. The Earth is a constantly rotating spinning and hurtling mass in space. Stillness and stability of our Earth are an illusion brought on by our own perception. In ten minutes from now, the Earth may be positioned to have me deposited from my own point of origin, somewhere on the West Coast, ten minutes in the future. Of course, the trip for me is instantaneous, but for the rest of the world, it simply took me ten minutes to travel a huge distance west.
Polar Bears were on the island because they were white, and easy to paint when they were ready to be used as test subjects after they'd used the rabbits. Unfortunately, Ben killed everyone who kept these animals in check, and then allowed the bears to roam free. It seems like they only successfully sent one polar bear through time (ending up in Tunisia).
Again, this is my theory. When you travel forward or back in time, the Earth has moved. Perhaps there are only a number of actual safe locations to teleport to when moving through time, or stable points in time/space that make travel safe at all. At 23:00 on July 2nd, the Earth's position will have a semi-stable land mass when leaving from the island at present time. So, you can jump, but it has to be a specific amount of time, and a specific location you're jumping to.
As I mentioned earlier, who was the man squatting/kneeling and holding his hands down in the "light" area? Desmond looked at him twice, once while pulling the stone out, and then again when he was lifting it out. Next, Jack looked at him before putting it back in and then again while he was doing it.
Look at the top left of your screen when replaying it and you see him with left knee on the ground and right knee up; holding his hands looking at both of them like "it was meant to be".
I woke up at half past five in the morning to see the Finale episode (scheduled time in Italy; 6 am), to see THE conclusion after so many years... And tonight I am still puzzled... No one was waiting answers for everything, but Lost has such a perfect and complex structure (concerning narrative structures as characters, themes, time and space) that was the essence itself of every episode, a structure that seems an uncalled-for action if we accept the stress on the spiritual path... waitng for a second (and a third, why not) view to grab what I probably didn't catch...

The Samsung Galaxy 8.0 looks like it used up all of the plastic supply on our planet, and also took the rim of the Bold 9900 and stretched it out to fit around it.
Aside from the chrome-looking ring around it, it just looks cheap, which should come as no surprise to anyone with two eyes (or even one eye with a cataract in it) that has seen the Samsung Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note II, or Galaxy S II or III. Or IV.
Samsung blows people away with a few features and a pretty screen, and hopes that they forget about the cheap-feeling, glossy plastic material encasing it all. And so far, it has somehow worked.Sean

Wtf is this Copysome forums ****s is getting out of hand in here.How is that the tablet bar we have phones that go in our pockets a make call and do wha tablets do but smaller and much more mobile.No tablet has ever set the bar there not as good as laptops.I dont think even the MS surface pro can handle music production software better than a solid spec laptop.
Have you never heard of bluetooth earphones and voip?? And those things most of us put in pockets called phones.And what you think blackberry bridge was built for.Tablet bar my *** tablets are just a niche for people who do not need full horse power of laptops and do generic internet cafe usage.In my case the playbook is a bedside toy for female guest so they have something to do. - 02-25-2013, 07:38 AM #30
Here, here! I doubt that my Playbook has been more than three feet away from me in weeks. I wrack my brains daily trying to understand why can't be used as a speakerphone. It knows when a call is coming in and allows me to silence my Torch's ringer. It has apps that allow me to change some of the settings on my Torch.
I have a bluetooth headset that can both answer and make calls through my Torch. Why the **** can't my Playbook do the same?
As for giving it the ability to actually function as a phone on its own? I'm not so sure. Why would I ever by another phone again? Ever? - 02-25-2013, 08:04 AM #31
The ability to make a call from anything Android has been available since GrooveIP which works pretty well as long as you have wifi around and if you have a bluetooth device who really cares what it's connected to. This is just Samsung building a tablet and throwing the kitchen sink at it. When you buy one of these things it hard to think of something you would want to do with a tablet that you cannot do, that's the selling point of it, the GN2 and the 10.1. If it's priced right its another step forward for them IMHO they pretty much invented and own this segment. Not bad for a company folks say "doesn't innovate"

I agree. Sammy put almost every imaginable feature in this tablet. The only thing they missed was the removable battery. Price is king and that will dictate how well it sells. That and the carriers if they kill the cell function in North America again. The GT7 has sold well in Europe for years now.

Copysome and ''innovative'' the same sentence hah.The Dell streak came out a whole year before a note showed up.The stylus is not innovative stylus have been around since 90's and these phablets are mere pda's with current gen tech.Now I'll give credit to them taking this market space which im certain huge percentage are probably old school pda owners.But innovtive no.What copysome have done is jumped at the oppertunity to offer another version of ios apple at lower price as the the fruit products are expensive.Has there been a month that samsung havent released some device?? These guys are short term hustlers they are quickly trying to cash up get the money whilst they can.Short term hustle are just that short term.
I don't disagree with the hustler part, but companies do have to adjust to short consumer attention spans. To use a category that you mentioned, I remember when folks bought PDAs and used them for years... and this was before cellular PDAs started locking folks into contracts.
This is the exact reason why I am confused by anyone who thinks Samsung is a competitor to Apple, Microsoft and RIM. Great Hardware company. Ultimately they will be great for consumer pricing. But is this innovation? Not even close.
People stopped caring about PC Specs years ago. I'm sure Smartphones, Phablets, and Tablets will be similar to PCs in that regard in the near future.
Samsung is a hot company right now, and they might be for quite a while. Just like Sony before them, or RCA before them. Hardware, scale and supply chain isn't a sustainable advantage. I'm sure 10 years from now they will be going through struggles while we will all be introduced to another hardware company in a cheaper manufacturing district such as Huwaii, Lenovo or ZTE. - 02-25-2013, 10:54 AM #37
LOL the Dell Streak was a POS from day one, and after it flopped folks said "no one wants a phablet". No. What folks didn't want was a POS. Samsung's original Galaxy Note proved the pundits wrong - folks did want it and the now the GNote 2 is considered by many the state of the art at the moment (till the new Snapdragon phones drop). The phablets "no one wanted" have sold more than a combined 10 million at last count I believe?
That the Notes and the Streaks kinda look the same is meaningless. Innovation is getting the whole package right. To the tune of 8 billion a quarter. Nice hustle.Thanked by 2:BoldtotheMax (02-25-2013)
This device will sell, as it bears the name of very popular products, and a percentage of people will look at it because of the name. The PlayBook isnt really competition to anything on the market currently. You are looking almost 2 year old hardware and software against brand new devices. When RIM/BB launch their next tablet, things will be different, but until then, no sense bringing the PlayBook into this discussion.
I think some of you are very short sighted.. Sure the tablet is way to large for most people to consider using it as a phone.. But there is a huge shift towards mobile productivity which also means a move away from the concept of a user having a smartphone, tablet and laptop on the go. If you can replace all three devices with one, then you will be leading the pack in the mobile and non mobile world (or whatever you term the combined world).
If society shifts to having bluetooth headsets and don't ridicule the ones that adopt them, then the size of the phone is a non issue as long as it works as a phone as well as the devices it is replacing.
Sure its far too big for me to switch to now.. But that doesn't mean it will be too big down the road if it catches on.--- Sent From Mobile Device While on the Can! --- - 02-25-2013, 11:52 AM Thread Author #44
The PlayBook even with its 2 year old hardware has been comparable to most other similar tablets. That is going to change now. The point of bringing it up is that BB hasn't announced anything new on the tablet front and it's now time that they do. If they want to remain relevant in the tablet game. Does BB have anything coming that will keep them in this fast changing tablet game? If they do now would be the time to show it.

I think you missed the point. It's a great tablet, with the option of a phone incorporated. No one says you absolutely must use an 8-inch tablet as your main phone. I am quite sure most tire kickers will figure out they will also need to have a phone, but now can also have a tablet with a phone if they want.

Elevated levels of -Amyloid (A) are present in the brains of
individuals with either the sporadic or familial form of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the deposition of A within the senile plaques that
are a hallmark of AD is thought to be a primary cause of the cognitive
dysfunction that occurs in AD. Recent evidence suggests that A
induces neuronal apoptosis in the brain and in primary neuronal
cultures, and that this A-induced neuronal death may be responsible
in part for the cognitive decline found in AD patients. In this study
we have characterized one mechanism by which A induces neuronal
death. We found that in cortical neurons exposed to A, activated
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is required for the phosphorylation and
activation of the c-Jun transcription factor, which in turn stimulates
the transcription of several key target genes, including the death
inducer Fas ligand. The binding of Fas ligand to its receptor Fas then
induces a cascade of events that lead to caspase activation and
ultimately cell death. By analyzing the effects of mutations in each of
the components of the JNK-c-Jun-Fas ligand-Fas pathway, we
demonstrate that this pathway plays a critical role in mediating
A-induced death of cultured neurons. These findings raise the
possibility that the JNK pathway may also contribute to A-dependent
death in AD patients.

Blackhearted angel, open the gates for me
let me walk through the skies eternal.
Embrace me with your flaming nightwings.
Together we will dominate and grow stronger,
so there`s no defeats for us.
Black souls, firestorms, lead us in this endless journey.
blizzard winds, creations of ice, make us immortal against the light.
We shall conquer and crush all our enemies.
This is the moment we have been waited, forever night at last.
Embrace me...
Our visions and thundering words, those what we have spoken, became a truth as our victory agains feeble ones.
