Jets Mock Draft: Instant Contributors New York Can Find in Every Round
By John Shea ,
The New York Jets need to draft players capable of making sizable contributions next season.
New general manager John Idzik will dictate whom the Jets choose to draft through "collaborative effort(s)" with head coach Rex Ryan and the team's brain trust.
They should optimally select the best available player on the board at key areas of need, such as outside linebacker, safety, offensive guard, wide receiver, cornerback and tight end.
The team's most disparate personnel situation is at quarterback, but this season's draft class doesn't feature any franchise-changing players at that position. In this mock draft, the Jets select players ready to make an immediate impact in their rookie seasons.
The following slideshow highlights seven instant contributors the Jets can find in every round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
UCLA tight end Joseph Fauria is a big, athletic, receiving target that emerged as a perennial scoring threat in his senior season. Fauria had started just nine games prior to 2012 but became a premiere offensive weapon in his final collegiate season.
Fauria pulled down 39 catches for 481 yards and six touchdowns in a standout season-long effort. He features rare athletic ability and enormous size, but he is a below-average blocker who lacks physicality in the trenches.
His draft value is definitive of the mismatch he presents in the passing game. Fauria doesn't sustain incredible speed, but he's an effective route-running tight end that has extensive leaping ability to effectively complement his size.
Fauria has prototypical size for his position, listed at 6'7'' and 257 pounds. He's a raw talent with limited experience and is expected to be selected towards the end of the draft.
Fauria is a good fit for the Jets because of their dire need for a play-making tight end in the likely scenario that Dustin Keller walks in free agency.
Run-blocking tight end Jeff Cumberland could supply the Jets with an effective tandem if the team opts to draft Fauria.
Fauria is a legitimate tight end with receiving prowess, even if he lacks versatility and premium blocking ability. He's a solid seventh round talent.
The Jets need to add several playmakers to an offense that came in at No. 30 overall in 2012, and Fauria would supply the offense with supreme athleticism.
Learn how to pronounce this name, because it commands serious respect.
Georgia Tech offensive guard Omoregie Uzzi (O-more-gay ooze-E) is a beastly force in the trenches, poised to deliver serious run-blocking support in his rookie season.
Uzzi was considered a four-star recruit out of high school and didn't disappoint expectations at the collegiate level.
He's been gaining accolades ever since his sophomore season when he was selected second team All-ACC in 2010. Uzzi spent three seasons at starting right guard and earned first-team honors for consecutive seasons, starting in 2011.
He heavily aided Georgia Tech in building a formidable ground game that averaged 312.5 yards per contest to rank No. 4 in the nation in 2012. The Yellow Jackets mounted over 440 yards of total offense and 34 points per game last season, largely because of an offensive front anchored by Uzzi.
Uzzi is a powerful force at 6'3'' and 302 pounds. He's a physical run blocker that stands to improve in pass protection, although he's touted as one of the top-five senior offensive guards in this season's draft.
He's an optimal sixth-round selection for the Jets, who could be in the business of acquiring two offensive guards this offseason. Brandon Moore and Matt Slauson are both free-agent eligible.
Uzzi is projected to be selected in Round 6 of April's draft, but he's a high-caliber player capable of manning the right guard position in the NFL as a rookie.
Former LSU cornerback and controversial figure Tyrann Mathieu has the potential to be the best steal of the 2013 NFL Draft.
The 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist has battled off-field issues and was forced to enter a drug treatment program after multiple violations of marijuana use and possession.
Still, Mathieu is a top-tier talent with limited draft value because of aforementioned missteps. A multitude of NFL teams wouldn't fathom drafting Mathieu, but the Jets shouldn't be among them.
New York needs to add as much talent as possible to their roster for 2013. Mathieu ultimately boasts enormous upside because of his fierce nature and punishing ability on the playing field. His vitals are outmatched by his tenacity; his intangibles don't fit the pro scout mold.
Mathieu isn't afraid to use body to compensate for his small size. He plays on top of receivers and doesn't yield open space to his opponents.
He's a quick accelerator, aptly fitting his reputation as a relentless defender. His awareness in coverage overrides receivers' ability to leap over him to snag catches.
Mathieu's aggressive nature encompasses his dynamic game play. He has the potential to be a top-tier cornerback if he's able to keep his head in check. He's a legitimate top-50 talent,= but is expected to last until at least Round 5.
The Jets lack depth at cornerback behind Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie, making Mathieu an intriguing prospect in the fifth round.
Oklahoma wide receiver Kenny Stills is a big-play threat destined to immediately contribute at the pro level.
Stills registered 82 total receptions for 959 yards and 11 scores in the 2012 season, good enough to earn second team All-Big 12 honors en route to the 2013 NFL Draft.
He's considered physically unimpressive, but he's a talented route-runner and has keen ability to catch footballs. This is a feat difficult to accomplish for some Jets' receivers. (See Stephen Hill, Week 7.)
Stills has started every game since his true freshman season, demonstrating a strong aptitude to shred defenders. He recorded 61 receptions for 786 yards and five touchdowns in the Big 12 as an 18-year-old kid.
Stills is average-sized at best, checking-in at 6'1'' and 190 pounds. He's undoubtedly smashing the weight room, though, and his penchant for success is proof. He claims to be his toughest critic, labeling performances—such as his junior season when he racked-up eight scores on 61 catches—"subpar."
A player who acknowledges his own game play as dissatisfying is in possession of the greatest intangible necessary to compete: the willingness to work harder to succeed.
He's a receiver that boasts speed off the snap, able to get downfield quickly to create separation and give the quarterback a window of opportunity. He features premiere athletic ability, constantly making stellar catches look like no big deal.
Stills' most impressive intangible isn't related to athleticism or play-making ability though. Pro scouts have touted him as undersized and inconsistent on top of a DUI arrest in 2011. But those reports are missing what might be the most important talent he has going for him.
Stills has never considered himself to be good enough. He's a hard-working individual guaranteed to tear his heart out for whoever selects him in the draft.
Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle opted to forgo his final season of collegiate eligibility to enter the 2013 NFL Draft.
Randle is a perfect third-round pick for the Jets, who are desperate for speed on offense.
He burst into the forefront last season after being shadowed by former Cowboys' quarterback Brandon Wheeden and wide receiver Justin Blackmon in 2011. Randle led the Big 12 with 1,417 rushing yards on 274 carries and racked up 14 touchdowns. He hit the end zone 14 times in 2012 and averaged 109 rushing yards per game.
Randle has sustained receiving prowess out of the backfield, reeling in 28 catches for 224 yards. His ability to sprint downfield as a receiver makes him valuable from the Jets' standpoint.
New offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg is well known in the NFL for utilizing running backs in the passing game. Randle fits that game scheme because of his speed and ability to catch throws in stride.
He's not a horse in between the tackles and shouldn't be featured as a durable back. Instead, he's a solid change-of-pace weapon who sustains dynamic ability as a receiver.
Randle also has breakaway speed in open space. He isn't phased by traffic in the tackle box and has keen ability to hit the hole with acceleration and blast through defenders.
Randle's upper body strength and narrow frame enable him to stay low up-the-middle and plow through tacklers, but he's not built to take a beating. He's a potential secondary back with big-play ability and receiving prowess.
Look for the Jets to select Randle with their third-round pick because of his dynamic play-making ability.
Texas defensive end Alex Okafor is a hybrid defender capable of effectively holding his ground at outside linebacker.
His natural ability to blast off the line of scrimmage and effectively elude would-be blockers makes him an ideal defensive end, but his pass-rushing ability would be best utilized in an outside line-backing role.
He's a devastating force on the quarterback, constantly applying pressure and recklessly swarming the opposition.
Okafor solidified his draft stock with a ridiculous tally of 4.5 sacks in the Alamo Bowl against a quality opponent in Oregon State.
He's displayed unique ability and dynamism throughout his college career, serving on his team's special teams unit and as a second-string defensive end as a freshman before finding his collegiate niche at defensive tackle.
He plays well inside because of his agility and footwork. He doesn't boast superior strength in the trenches, but he is quick off the block, enabling him to counter slow-moving opponents in spite of size.
Okafor is a physical, in-your-face brand of football player.
His versatility on the defensive front and coverage ability at linebacker make him a high-powered draft selection. He's demonstrated the ability to torment ball carriers—like the quarterback—without succumbing to double-team efforts or beastly opponents.
The Jets are in the business for a brand of player like Okafor. His equal ability to play against the pass and run at different positions make him the most apt defensive prospect in the country.
It would be a no-brainer for the Jets to draft Okafor in the Round 2. He's a premium talent who will have a powerful impact on defense.
Texas free safety Kenny Vaccaro is a premium talent who embodies the prototype of what it takes to be an elite defensive back in the NFL.
Vaccaro is the top safety in his draft class. He's a talented defensive back with strong coverage ability. He checks in at 6'1'' and 218 pounds, possessing a formidable combination of size and athletic ability.
The Jets won't be able to afford hard-hitting safety LaRon Landry in free agency, making it critical to find a replacement who can fill the void and instantly contribute.
Drafting Vaccaro with the ninth overall pick wouldn't be a flashy selection. Instead, it would be an efficient decision.
The defensive back field is the staple of the Jets' defense. Next season should be no different. New York has gaping holes all over the field, but addressing the void at safety is crucial.
Vaccaro is rated as the thirteenth-best prospect in this season's draft class, according to CBSSports.com. He's a physical defender who appropriately fits Ryan's defensive concept. His keen ability to read the quarterback and effectively react in coverage make him a constant interception threat.
Vaccaro has steadily improved on a season-to-season basis at the collegiate level. He posted 92 tackles in his senior season, swarming the field to make plays. Vaccaro added seven deflected passes and two interceptions on top of 4.5 tackles for loss to cap his resume in his final collegiate season.
The Jets have several deficiencies at multiple positions on their roster. New GM John Idzik needs to deliver on draft day and bolster the Jets' roster with players who can instantly contribute, starting with Kenny Vaccaro in the Round 1.

Shortbread and crust-less sandwiches are unlikely arsenal but they're about to be deployed by an army of angry tea drinkers in a little pocket of Great Britain this weekend and they mean business.
Tomorrow afternoon around the tables of a tiny tea shop in Cambridgeshire, little fingers will be raised in solidarity against a recent fluctuation in "coffee bars" that many fear have contributed to "the lost art of drinking tea".
"We are losing sense of ourselves with coffee bars like Starbucks and Costa Coffee where you slurp coffee through spouts in paper cups or rushed tea in mugs or chunky cups. The whole experience of sitting down with a proper china cup and saucer and having a good natter - which of course it what used to happen - is in danger of being lost," says Tania Baker, the owner of By Jove! Tea Rooms in Burrell who is hoping to inspire tea drinkers everywhere with her "very proper" protest that involves dressing in period costume and "taking tea".
But it could be a very lonely little protest; according to the Telegraph British people still drink approximately 165 million cups of tea everyday and thanks to the growth of retro tea rooms, traditional tea drinking is actually "back in fashion".
At least they won't go hungry.
Most commented
A Bob says:
I just love the Red Bull sign in the background. Spoils the Edwardian ambience somewhat.
Faz says:
There is generally a different mindset to drinking coffee and tea.
As I walk to work I see a line of cars outside the drive-in esspresso place (formerly a petrol station) with occupants desperate for that morning 'heart starter'. I just can't imagine a drive-in tea place taking off.
It's as if coffee has become something we need and tea is something we want.
And, yeh, what bozo invented those awful paper cups?
stephen says:
Coffee in paper cups stays hotter longer, which is why at trendy euro cafes you get not what you pay for : 6 grams of milk in a thimble, and get you out the door so's the 'chef' (hah), can rattle the cattle for the now-vacant table.
Best coffee is at home : plunger, Vittoria Cafe Blend, and cream.
Otherwise, it's Starbucks by a mile.
Steve_of_Cornubia says:
OK, I've read this four times now and I still don't see your point.
Which is….?
AndyC says:
My wife bought a High Tea set recently for her and my daughters to have 'tea and conversation' one day a week after school. They enjoy themselves and it provides a calming time without the usual electronic distractions of TV, DVDs and Nintendos.
Anne71 says:
I despise tea bags, so I drink coffee during the working week. However, come the weekend, I will brew a proper cup of tea and enjoy it at my leisure. Edwardian costume, however, is optional. Regency, on the other hand…
Seashell says:
The UK has nothing to fear - unfortunately even the Costas coffee in the UK is sooooo bad, they converted me to become one of the tea drinkers.
teafan says:
Tea rocks! And afternoon tea parties with scones, cucumber sandwiches and petits fours kick ass over any other kind.

I'm now not certain where you are getting your information, however great topic. I needs to spend a while studying much more or working out more. Thanks for excellent information I was looking for this information for my mission.
All this nonsense about Tebow not being good enough for John Elway is not only unfair, but exteremely ignorant. Why some of these media crackpots are referred to as "experts" is beyond me. The Broncos did what they had to do in the best interest of the franchise. Tim Tebow does not fit in with their plans, but did an outstanding job in leading them to the playoffs last season. Fortunately, others perceive Tim as a great fit for some of the things they want to do, and will gladly sign him. Tim Tebow has to be Tim Tebow, not Peyton Manning or anybody else. Tim is obviously regarded as a fine person, and a great young talent, within the scope of his particular skill set. He will make a great contribution to any team that is fortunate enough to procure his services. Best of luck to both Tim Tebow, and the Denver Broncos, in whatever decisions they make.

Prescribed Fire Burn
If you are driving in the U.S. 441 and County Road 234 area...you will need some extra time... due to heavy smoke.
The Division of Forestry in Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park started a prescribed burn this morning that will last until 8 oclock tonight.
Fire is a natural part of both forest and grassland ecology… and making controlled fires is a tool for foresters.
"By us doing these more controlled, prescribed fires, it ensures that we're doing it on our terms, not when the lightning strikes. so it ensures the health of the forrest and the continuation of the ecosystem and the animals that live in it," said Matt Bledsoe, Assistant Park Manager at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park.
Controlled burning also reduces fuels for fires, may improve wildlife habitat, and controls competing vegetation.

Nothing fancy here but it worked to make a sandwich a little different from the usual egg sandwich to put in lunches. The original version came from a recipe leaflet that came from the local electric company about 30 years ago. It called for using process cheese and no dressing and chopping everything together in a food chopper(gotta use more electricity for the electric company!) but I prefer the cheddar, doing the prep by hand and usually use Miracle Whip to bind it together as I like it rather than mashing it all together in a food chopper.

Travel Trends: Pet travel
Since 1994, the American Pet Products Association (APPA) has kept track of just how much Americans spend on their pets. The data verifies that with every new year, U.S. pet owners have spent increasingly more on their four-legged counterparts. In fact, within the 10 years between 1994 and 2004, the spending literally doubled from $17 billion to $34 billion. Fast forward to 2010, a mere 6 years later, and that number has skyrocketed to approximately $47.4 billion.
While money spent on pets includes vet fees, food and other typical expenses, a large chunk of that is devoted to leisure-related activities like pampering and lodging. This increased amount of spending is partially due to a growing trend in the pet industry that has owners toting their pets along with them on vacation.
The Travel Industry Association of America (TIA) released data in January of 2009 that said the most popular animal that pet owners bring with them on vacations is a dog. This is likely due to the canine's happy-go-lucky attitude and ability to adapt to new environments quickly. Coming in at second place are felines at 15 percent, followed by birds at 3 percent and "others" at 2 percent (other includes ferrets, fish, rabbits).
As for how pets travel, transportation via cars is by far the most common. And, according to a the same travel poll conducted by TIA, only 6 percent of animals travel with an airline and 10 percent travel in a recreational vehicle.
Once a pet and its owner have finally reached their destination, finding a place to stay is the next detail to figure out. As of 2009, 32 percent of travelers stay with someone who they already know, such as a friend or relative. Twenty nine percent stay in a hotel, 16 percent opt for a recreation vehicle or tent and the final 10 percent stay in a cabin or vacation home. This information is also based on data gathered by TIA.
This discussion "begs" the question: do you travel with your pet(s)? No? Then be sure to check out "Ask Gadling: How to prepare for not traveling without your dog."

one way pets don t travel is by amtrak. amtrak discriminaes against all pet owners except the blind and so called legally blind. it s time amtrak stops giving special consideration to these groups while discriminating against he rest of us pet owners
crp May 23rd 2010 9:10AM
There is a large difference between a certified working dog for the blind/companion , and a "well behaved pet" . How would you feel if someone showed up with a Pitbull on the train ?
k9sue May 22nd 2010 9:43PM
Service dogs are not PETS! They are working animals that are assisting disabled people in everyday living. I am sure any "blind" person would gladly trade you thier need to use a dog for your perfectly healthy eyes! You need to take a moment and think before you write such a stupid statement. Then thank God for your good health.

I have traveled the country working big concerts and shows and always tak my "kids" white shepherds 1-145 lbs 1- 75 lbs. If for some reason I must fly I have people that stay at my home with them.
They are the best thing in my life and I would seriously Kill to defend and protect them as they would for me.

We take all our animals with us when we go away always to our vacation homes, unless we go on a cruise then they stay with our trainer.I hate being anywhere without them.

It is heartbreaking to see pets in cages, so when traveling you might want to consider sites that can offer the best services for you and for your adorable pet.

I have 2 dogs, 4 cats, 2 rats, and 1 horse. When it comes to traveling it all depends on where I am going. 3 cats are outdoors and a neighbor feeds them. My rats normally stay with a friend depends on how long I am going to be gone. If a few days they can fend for themselves with extra water bottles and food. Now my dogs always come with me, I do leave them at a kennel when needed. The kennel is family owned so they always get one on one attention during the day. My horse on the other hand is boarded at a farm so he is always taken care of, but when I go on vacation that allows you to bring your horse (like some beaches, or camping trips) then I take him with me. But he is a jumper and to much stress is bad for his health so I normally just take him to shows and that's it.

Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from life what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely, a healthy skepticism of the powers of government agencies to do good.

Education has failed in a very serious way to convey the most important lesson science can teach: skepticism.
David Suzuki
In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism and skepticism and humbug and we shall want to live more musically.

Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it ca.
George Santayana
There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.
Richard Feynman
The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, skepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin.
Thomas Huxley
The capacity to combine commitment with skepticism is essential to democracy.
Mary Catherine Bateson
Large skepticism leads to large understanding. Small skepticism leads to small understanding. No skepticism leads to no understanding.
Xi Zhi
The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization; the factors of decadence, -- luxury, skepticism, weariness and superstition, -- are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.
Cyril Connolly
The poison of skepticism becomes, like alcoholism, tuberculosis, and some other diseases, much more virulent in a hitherto virgin soil.
Simone Weil
Skepticism, riddling the faith of yesterday, prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow.
Romain Rolland
I prefer credulity to skepticism and cynicism for there is more promise in almost anything than in nothing at all.

It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.
Carl Sagan
Because of the complexity of the problem, environmental skepticism was once tenable. No longer. It is time to flip from skepticism to activism.

Wanted to update you guys on the status here. I got the gun back from the factory today and everything appears to be in perfect working order. I've been racking it and dry firing it a lot, both fast and slow to see if I can get the trigger to fail again. It all seems good to go. It looks like they replaced barrel vs just replacing the sight. There were some dings in the mounting piece and they seem to be gone now... the new front sight is perfectly centered and cleanly done - no marks or nicks in the finish. The action seems nice and smooth for a new gun.
Added the Choate magazine tube extension and I'm really liking it. I also had the Wolff magazine spring delivered while it was gone and now I can't find it for the life of me. I'm sure it'll turn up somewhere, but for now, the Choate supplied spring seems fine.
I think I might end up painting this one up in some desert colors. Need to get out to the desert and put it through its paces first, but I think this one may replace my 20" as my favorite, assuming reliability proves to be as excellent as it's big brother. I'm really liking the ghost ring sights.

I've had this red (lace?) fabric for a while. Because I'm a fabric hoarder, but you already knew that, right? I have unused yards of fabric and fabric scraps in every. corner. of. my. sewing. room. And sometimes it takes a few years before I know exactly what I wanna do with it. Well I settled on doing a type of circle skirt with this red (seriously, is it lace?) fabric, but it's COMPLETELY see through as you can see in the pics above, soooo... I figured I could do one of two things. I could either line it (boooo, HISSSSSS!!) OR I could buy a cute Springtime red petticoat like this one to wear underneath it. Clearly, I chose option number 2. And fingers crossed that it turns out the way I see it in my head! Stay tuned for pics once it's completed and check out the sketch of my skirt rendering below...

DIY Style: My Plaid Mini Dress...
Happy Valentine's Day everybody! Even though I'm not one to get all over excited about this holiday, (it's just never really been my thing *shrugs*) but hey, if you like it then I love it (for you ♥♥♥), but that's neither here nor there, I'm here to tell you about the dress I just finished! If you sew, then you know how it feels to see something cute and then be all like, "but I can make that.." well that's how this dress came to be after seeing THIS DRESS. I used THIS SHIRT PATTERN (I added the length, and some POCKETS!!!) and THE COLLAR from THIS PATTERN to craft this dress. I put an invisible zipper in back. I've had this fabric for a while and always thought I would do a pencil skirt with it, or a cute pair of trouser shorts but I think I'll get more wear out of this little dress. Most likely with a pair of Chucks because that's how I really roll... scroll down for a few more pics of my DIY dress taken on a gorgeous day in New Orleans French Quarter (Pirate's Alley):

FASHION SEWING: My Pencil Skirt Remix...
Hey y'all! I finally finished my skirt redo, and I'm super happy with the results! HERE is the skirt before I cut it. It was a pleated pencil skirt that I made a few years ago to wear to a wedding. And what I wanted to turn it into was a pleated mini skater skirt, which was the start of my dilemma. How would I get the "skater skirt" flare that I wanted from my pleated pencil skirt? Yes, it had pleats, which gave it a little bit of swing, but I soon learned that that wouldn't be enough. How did I know this? because I cut the top of my skirt off, tried it on and it still fit like a fitted pencil skirt, only shorter :( So I remedied this by adding a type of gusset to the side seams at the hem. Now if you don't know what a gusset is, well neither did I before a few months ago when I was working in the Wardrobe Department at my previous job and I had to figure out how to do one real fast. It's pretty funny how fast you can learn to do something when you HAVE to, lol. Long story short, the gusset worked out beautifully and gave me a result that I'm quite pleased with!

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
After being hand harvested, the grapes follow the meticulous winemaking techniques perfected by Martin Ray over sixty years ago. The grapes are gently crushed and fermented in open-top tanks for two weeks, creating rich structure in the wine. Minimal sulfur dioxide usage preserves fruit intensity and enhances the rich, round tannins. Aged for thirty months in French oak barrels, 35 percent in new oak barrels and 65 percent in 1–4 year old barrels, intensifies the complexity and character of the wine. Although labor intensive, these techniques produce superbly enhanced flavors and textures in our wines. The Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinctive wine with beautiful balance and solid structure. Inviting, elegant aromas of vanilla and cherry lead to lush flavors of blackberry and plum, finishing with a lingering whisper of toasty oak. Due to its unique style, this wine will maintain interest and liveliness for years to come.
"Shows the intense concentration of mountain-grown grapes and the acidity of a cool- climate vineyard. The combination yields this robust young Cabernet Sauvignon. With potent blackberry and mineral flavors, it could develop for up to six years in the cellar." 90 Points Wine Enthusiast

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

Do you start on ordering the new machines when the current ones are half full, and get the new stuff running long before the end of the useful life of the present kit? If you do, then you might have over-spent. Or, do you wait a bit longer and then buy a better spec'd machine at a far lower price next year (spending less, and spending it later), but then run the risk of the new stuff coming online slightly too late, and actually running out of steam on the old kit a month or two beforehand? This isn't a new problem that has "just" cropped up. This is something that had been noticed a long time ago, and has been planned probably a year ago, and now in the final stages there are problems with the roll-out. Just do the maths on how long it would take to build 100 000 or 200 000 PCs, copy the OS and software on to them, plug them into the mains, and wire them all up to the network, etc. The installation phase alone would involve hundreds of people for very many months. I guess this is a project running a few weeks or months late, with a few unexpected bugs popping up in the final stages. Just another typical day in a typical IT company really.
There is a very important cost and performance trade off to be analysed here.

"Does it not seem a vast waste of valuable human material that the pioneers of thought, those who by their genius dare to clear unknown paths in the arts and sciences and in government, should have to conform to the dictates of that non-creative, slow-moving mass, the majority? An appeal to the majority is a resort to force and not an appeal to intelligence; the majority is always ignorant, and by increasing the majority we multiply ignorance. The majority is incapable of initiative, its attitude being one of opposition toward everything that is new. If it had been left to the majority, the world would never have had the steamboat, the railroad, the telegraph, or any of the conveniences of modern life." ~ Charles Sprading

While your time at Catawba is at an end and you will be missed by your Catawba family, it is a time of celebration and of new opportunities — the doors are now opened for the next stage of your life. Thus, this is a commencement — a beginning.
In a very short time, this rapidly changing world in which we live will belong to you. You and your cohorts will be in charge: you'll be doctors and lawyers, preachers and teachers, businesspersons and social workers, coaches and athletic trainers, politicians and poets, performers and perhaps even a college president or two.
But we are here today not only to celebrate and congratulate, but also to challenge you. What I will say today is familiar, simple, direct, and short. As a teacher, I offer these as advice for you to consider as you exit our doors and enter new ones.
First: Be a person of Hope.
These are certainly difficult, even tumultuous times: we are immersed in wars, we live in daily awareness of international terrorism, we are struggling with a world-wide economic crisis, we are threatened by pandemics that no one seems to understand, and we face environmental issues of massive proportions. Several years ago I read that the single most debilitating force in the American workplace in the 21st century is negativism. While these and scores of other threats and obstacles can overwhelm our daily existences, the challenge that I offer you is to dream large and important dreams for your future. My favorite quotation from my favorite poet, Robert Browning, is, "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?"
Let's face it, a positive, hopeful attitude is kind of like changing a diaper: it doesn't necessarily solve any long-term problems, but it certainly makes life more comfortable for us and everyone around us. I love the words of the prophet Jeremiah: "'I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Be a person of hope.
Second: Be a person of Faith.
Uncertainty surrounds us every day: the future is both unknown and, in many respects, uncontrollable. Fortunately, having faith doesn't mean having all the answers. As Alfred, Lord Tennyson has written, "There lives more faith in honest doubt than in half the creeds." In order to transcend the questions and difficulties that inundate our daily lives, we should cultivate a lifestyle that nurtures our faith in something outside ourselves.
We need to be around people in whom we can place our faith. We need to believe in something that can ground our thinking and living. Be a person of Faith.
Third: Be a person who Loves.
Love is all about caring. It is caring enough to stand in another person's shoes to understand where they are in life. It incorporates not just sympathy — feeling sorry for someone's predicament — but also empathy — trying to feel what they are experiencing. But love isn't just about feeling. Ultimately, I think, love is treating people the way we would like to be treated ourselves. It demands a commitment from us, an act of the will to get outside ourselves and our everyday issues and decide to make a difference for good. Be a person who loves.
Some of you have recognized that I have borrowed from St. Paul's Letter to the Corinthians: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."
I don't expect you to remember my words today, but please do not forget Paul's summation: faith, hope, and love.
Congratulations and God bless you!

Neb. lawmakers to act on some income tax measures
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska lawmakers are poised to act this session on income tax cuts for seniors and veterans.
Lawmakers will debate a bill that would ensure Nebraska's income-tax brackets keep pace with inflation, while giving a greater tax break to low- and middle-income Social Security recipients. They also are likely to debate a tax-break for service members who choose to live in Nebraska after retiring from the military.
The bills were introduced in the wake of a legislative tax study last year. Senator Galen Hadley, chairman of the Legislature's Revenue Committee, says the tax-bracket bill would address cost-of-living salary increases that can bump taxpayers into a bracket with higher rates.
Nebraska Farm Bureau offers farm bill guidance
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation has prepared a list to help Nebraska farmers navigate changes wrought by the recently passed farm bill in Washington.
The list is titled the "Top 10 Things to Know About the 2014 Farm Bill."
Farm Bureau President Steve Nelson says the list "provides a baseline of information to help (farmers) get started."
The bureau says a critical component of the new bill for Nebraska farmers and ranchers is the retroactive extension of numerous livestock disaster programs. Livestock disaster signup begins April 15th.
The bureau has developed a 2014 Farm Bill Breakdown web offering that includes a way to submit farm bill questions. The website address is WWW DOT NEFB DOT org.
Annual drought symposium set next month in Lincoln
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The University of Nebraska's Center for Great Plains Studies has scheduled its 40th annual symposium on drought.
The event is scheduled for April 1st through 4th at the Nebraska Union. The title this year is "Drought in the Life, Cultures and Landscapes of the Great Plains."
More than 40 speakers will share their expertise and perspectives. Topics include agriculture and livestock impacts, Dust Bowl history, drought in literature and art, climate extremes and human health effects.
Firefighters battle brush fires in eastern Neb.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Firefighters were working Sunday to extinguish several brush fires in eastern Nebraska.
Fires broke out as temperatures climbed into the low 70s yesterday, but winds gusting 30-to-40 mph made it difficult to contain the fires.
No evacuations or serious injuries were reported Sunday afternoon, but at least one firefighter had to be treated for smoke inhalation near Branched Oak Lake.
Some roads had to be shut down at Branched Oak as crews battled a grass fire northeast of the lake.
Otoe County officials say firefighters were battling fires near Dunbar and Palmyra.
The Saunders County Sheriff's office says a grass fire northwest of Ashland was contained Sunday.
Another brush fire was reported near Springfield, Nebraska Sunday afternoon. That blaze forced a road closure nearby, but no injuries were reported.
Missing Nebraska teen returns to Omaha are
BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) - A missing eastern Nebraska teenager has returned to the Omaha area, but didn't immediately return home to her family.
Police in the Omaha suburb of Bellevue say 16-year-old Michaela Wells was flown back to the area on Friday - a day after she was found safe in Indianapolis at the home of a teen boy.
Bellevue Police Chief Mark Elbert says Wells will be held in the Sarpy County Juvenile Justice Center until investigators can talk with her and evaluate the situation.
Elbert says this interview procedure is used in any case of missing or runaway teens his department investigates.
Wells disappeared March 2nd when she went outside to take out the trash.
Police arrest suspect in fatal Omaha shooting
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Omaha police have arrested a suspect in Friday's fatal shooting of a 21-year-old man.
Police said Saturday that 23-year-old Laron Jones had been arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and weapons charges in the case.
The shooting at a house in northeast Omaha was reported around 2:50 a.m. Friday. Officers found Brandon Samuels there with gunshot wounds.
Samuels was taken to Creighton University Medical Center where he later died. He is from Omaha.
Police interviewed several witnesses, and later arrested Jones.
Omaha police investigate fatal home invasion
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Omaha police are investigating a fatal shooting that began with a home invasion this weekend.
Police say the incident happened shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday at a home in the 5100 block of North 49th Avenue.
Officers arrived and found 19-year-old Ramon Matlock of Omaha lying outside the home with gunshot wounds. Paramedics were unable to revive him.
The homeowner and several neighbors are being questioned in the shooting, but police described the incident as a home invasion.
No arrests in the case had been reported as of midday Sunday.
Dead eagles found in Neb. used by Native Americans
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) - The carcasses of dead bald and golden eagles found in Nebraska are collected and recycled for religious purposes.
The North Platte Telegraph reports the state is part of an unusual federal recycling program that provides parts of eagle carcasses to Native Americans who hold valid permits.
The feathers and other body parts of eagles are considered sacred by some Native Americans. But federal laws designed to protect the birds make it illegal for most people to possess any part of a golden or bald eagle.
Lauren Dinan with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says the state recently sent 37 eagles to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Eagle Repository in Commerce City, Colorado.
Creighton women slip past Butler 61-52
CHICAGO (AP) - Sarah Nelson scored 21 points, including four 3-pointers, to lead 3rd seed Creighton to a 61-52 win over sixth-seeded Butler in the Big East women's tournament quarterfinals on Sunday.
Creighton faces Number 2 seed St. John's in Monday's semifinal.
In a tough defensive matchup, Creighton (19-12) took control midway through the second half with a 12-2 run capped by an MC McGrory jumper that made it 38-29 with 11:52 to go. Butler (15-15) shaved the gap to 42-37 on a Lexus Murry jumper with 6:53 to go but it was as close as the Bulldogs would get down the stretch.
McGrory finished the game with 12 points, while Marissa Janning and McKenzie Fujan had 10 points apiece for the Bluejays, who were held to 35 percent shooting from the field but had a 3-to-1 scoring advantage from long range, sinking 9 of 27.
Daress McClung led Butler with 25 points.
No. 16 Nebraska wins Big Ten tourney title
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Rachel Theriot scored 19 of her 24 points in the second half Sunday, leading Number 16 Nebraska past Number 23 Iowa 72-65 for the Big Ten tournament title.
It's the first time the Cornhuskers (25-6) have ever won a conference tourney crown, clinching the league's automatic NCAA tournament bid. Nebraska also posted its second straight 25-win season and is tied for the second most victories in school history. The Cornhuskers head into the postseason with plenty of momentum after winning 12 of 13.
Iowa (26-8) was led by Ally Disterhoft with 20 points and Samantha Logic with 14 but had a six-game winning streak snapped.
Nebraska never trailed, though Iowa closed to 57-56 with 7:43 to play. Theriot, the tourney's most outstanding player, helped Nebraska pull away with an 8-3 run.
NCAA hopeful Nebraska upsets No. 9 Wisconsin 77-68
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Shavon Shields and Terran Petteway scored 26 points apiece, and Nebraska upset Number 9 Wisconsin 77-68 on Sunday night to put a dent in the Badgers' hopes for a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
The Cornhuskers (19-11, 11-7) won for the 10th time in 12 games to clinch fourth place in the Big Ten for their highest conference finish since 1997-98. The Badgers (25-6, 12-6) had their longest conference win streak since 1940-41 end at eight games.
Shields made a couple free throws, Ray Gallegos hit a 3 and Shields dunked in transition to start a 12-1 run that turned a 52-48 deficit into a 60-53 lead with 5 minutes left.

Posted by truTV on Sep. 22, 2008
 You CAN"T inject an 8-ball. An 8-ball = 3.5 grams! I don't care if you're the incredible hulk. Trust me on this one folks, you can't even inject 1 gram and expect to survive. I hate it how cops exxagerate things on the internet.
You know, I feel bad for the driver of the car that hit him. They had the guy's information, they could get him later. Why do the cops have to go on these high speed chases and endanger all the innocent bystanders? Helicopter up, patrol by his home, and chase at slow speed from a distance until he stops. Stupid fvking cops are as wild and dangerous as the drugged up drunken driver.
 Uh yeah. An 8ball being 3.5 grams I kinda doubt that "injected an 8ball" comment. Probably sounded cool for the citizens who watch these shows, though. Mmmmmmm.... 8ball......
 I would have put two slugs in his head so society and the gene pool would be better off.
Should have left him to burn in the car people like that are not any use in modern society..
Also, let's not forget that it IS the law to stop your vehicle at the sight/sound of emergency vehicles. The driver should be thankful he hit the Criminal and not the cop, otherwise he could be facing some serious charges...
You've got to be kidding me, right? You know the state/city will reimburse the driver. And you honestly think some one who has just "injected an 8-ball" (kidding of course...) is going to just go chill at home after he's been sighted by the cops? People commit all sorts of crazy crimes when they're coked up. What if this guy went on to commit a murder before the day was over, because the cops neglected to stop him? Someoneslife is a lot harder to pay for than someones broken car and ruined day.
Hey they said he binge drank all day--how bout a couple grams of speed to "even er all out..." lol

Egyptian natgas supply resumes to Israel
- Tweet
- Share this
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Natural gas supplies from Egypt to Israel have resumed after assailants blew up the pipeline last month and led to a suspension of gas flow, Israel's National Infrastructure Ministry said on Sunday.
It said in a statement that supply began gradually late last week to ensure the system was working properly.
Since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in February the pipeline has been repeatedly blown up by assailants believed to be opposed to selling Egyptian gas to Israel.
The latest attack came on Sept 27 when unknown assailants blew up the pipeline in Sinai that supplies Israel and Jordan with gas.
The numerous suspensions in supplies from Egypt have led to the reliance solely on Israeli gas. That has led to a rise in rates at Israel's state-run electricity monopoly.
Egypt itself is seeking to raise gas prices to Israel.

I had a hard time waking this morningI got a lotta things on my mind
Like those friends of yours
They keep bringing me down
Just hangin' round all the time
I've had a hard time waking most mornings
And it's been that way for a month or more
You've had things your way
But now I've got to say
I'm on my way out the door
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/bob-dylan-orange-juice-blues-blues-for-breakfast-lyrics.html ]
Why don't you get right, try to get right, baby
You haven't been right with me, why don't you get right?
Try and get right, baby, don't you remember how it used to be?
You had a hard time waking this morning
And I can see it in your empty eyes
But there's no need for talking
Or walking round the block
Just to figure out the reason why
I have a hard time handing out warnings
I'll just slide on out the door
Cuz I'm tired of everything
Being beautiful, beautiful
And I ain't coming back no more

Man Slowly Passes Through Crazy Traffic
Posted by bignblk on Jul. 18, 2011
Posted by bignblk on Jul. 18, 2011
Its the way it is in SE Asia, been to many countries there, you will stand at the corner for hours if you wait for traffic. The drivers will avoid you if you walk out there, everyone crosses like this.
well if he did get hit by a scooter not only will he be injured the driver would be too but that was awsome I guess
This in kinda normal in Asia ? :P Just start walking and the traffic will adjust
Just imagine what gas is gonna cost in a few years, when each of those scooters gets replaced by a car.
Why is that? If he stood at a crossing in GB all the traffic would stop allowing him to cross, so I don't get your point.
This is fairly relaxed in terms of crossing streets in Asia. Normally it's 5-6 times worse and you just have to keep walking.
This is pretty much everyday crossing in Asia...you'll never cross the street unless you cross it..they will drive around you.
The reason is that they got so many people living there that traffic fatalities are a means of population control.
A true master would leap from helmeted head to helmeted head. In his culture, this man is weak.
Thumbs up if you go out of your way NOT to buy products that advertise on this site.

How to fix America's worst schools
One school in Chicago shows the promise and pitfalls of a federal effort to turn around the nation's bottom-tier schools.
(Page 2 of 8)
It's also controversial. Teacher unions and those on the left worry about replacing most of a school's staff. Many on the right see it as a waste of taxpayer money for something that won't work anyway.
Skip to next paragraphBut advocates argue that there's no choice without giving up on the futures of a large chunk of the nation's students. And they claim that done right, turnarounds have a far better chance of succeeding than the record would indicate.
"It hasn't been done in this kind of thoughtful, comprehensive way in the past," says Mr. Duncan. "It's some of the hardest, most difficult work there is, but it's absolutely critical that we engage in this work. If we don't, we perpetuate failures."
* * *
Phillips Academy occupies an impressive building, with an ornate facade and marble columns, in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. It also has a substantial pedigree. Named after abolitionist Wendell Phillips, it became the first predominantly black high school in Chicago, in the 1920s, and boasts an alumni roster of notable African-Americans: among them, singers Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke, as well as poet Gwendolyn Brooks.
It once produced a skilled group of basketball players who formed the nucleus of what would later become the Harlem Globetrotters.
But for the past few decades, Phillips Academy has been more known in Chicago for something else: failure. Last year, the school was the second-worst performing high school in Illinois. Less than 5 percent of its students met state academic standards. It had an 49 percent dropout rate. Fights regularly broke out after school in the neighborhood, and parents did whatever they could to keep their children out of Phillips Academy.
So in mid 2010 the Chicago Public Schools, working with a local nonprofit group, the Academy of Urban School Leadership (AUSL), got approval for federal funds to make Phillips a turnaround project. The Department of Education (ED) agreed to give the school roughly $5 million in grants over the next five years.
Under the DOE's School Improvement Grants (SIG) program, districts seeking federal money to revive a school must choose from four options: school closure (while ensuring that former students attend a better school nearby); restart, in which a school is usually taken over by a charter operator; "turnaround," in which the principal and at least half the staff is replaced; and "transformation," in which the principal is replaced and a number of major reforms implemented. Technically, Phillips is using the restart model.
For AUSL, the school represented a new challenge. The group had been turning around failing schools in Chicago for the past five years, some with striking success. Howe School of Excellence (a K-8 school), for instance, raised the percentage of students meeting state standards from 43 percent to 67 percent in just two years.
