Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
Greater Manchester Police, in common with other police forces around the country, makes use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to prevent and detect crime, and to prosecute criminals.
ANPR devices work by scanning vehicle registrations and checking them against information stored in databases, including the Police National Computer and the Motor Insurance Database, to identify vehicles of interest to the police. This includes stolen vehicles or those known to be involved in crime. When a suspect vehicle is recognised, it can then be the focus of targeted interception and enquiries. In order to support this GMP have a dedicated intercept team to make sure we make the best use of ANPR.
In more general terms ANPR supports the police to:
- Disrupt criminal use of motor vehicles
- Locate and recover stolen vehicles
- Prevent and detect crime
- Arrest offenders
- Identify and prosecute offenders using illegal, un-insured and un-taxed vehicles
How is it used?
ANPR technology, coupled with immediate follow-up police action via dedicated intercept teams, has the potential to deny criminals the use of the roads. ANPR is an enormously effective operational tool which allows the police to target known offenders. Officers engaged on ANPR operations arrest significantly more offenders than patrol officers would in the normal course of their duties.
Who is it used by?
Every force in England and Wales uses ANPR and this intelligence-led policing tool is fast becoming a core policing activity.
What is it currently being used for?
ANPR is an invaluable tool in the campaign to make our streets safer. There is an ambitious programme of crime reduction measures, harnessing the powers of this technology to drive down crime. By denying criminals the use of the road, the police will be better able to enforce the law, prevent crime and detect offenders. ANPR can also assist casualty reduction by removing unsafe vehicles and drivers from our roads.
Policing Generally
Won't this take police away from work they should be doing, like catching murderers and rapists?
Far from taking police away from catching criminals, ANPR is an effective policing tool that can be used in the detection of criminals and in crime reduction generally. It is known that motoring offences are often associated with other crime. Experience has shown that stopping vehicles where a motoring offence has been committed, often leads to arrests for more serious offences. ANPR has become a valuable tool in fighting crime and will deny criminals the use of the roads.
Isn't this going to take 'bobbies' off the beat?
No. The policing of our streets is not affected by the use of ANPR. In fact, high-visibility policing is enhanced by ANPR operations. The overt nature of ANPR operations and the associated policing activity is generally welcomed as its use leads to increased crime detection and arrests.
How is this going to help police fight crime?
Experience with ANPR has revealed very strong links between the use of motor vehicles on the road and criminality. The wider use of ANPR has led to the arrest and conviction of criminals for offences other than those motoring offences for which they have been stopped. This is a valuable tool in the fighting of crime more generally.
Policing the Roads
Isn't this just another attack on the poor motorist?
Vehicles will only be stopped if records suggest that some form of road traffic offence has been committed or there is a known police interest. Using ANPR, law-abiding citizens are less likely to be stopped by the police.
Won't this lead to police chases and endanger innocent drivers?
The safety of road users and officers is our primary concern. Units will be located where it is possible for the police to intercept vehicles without undue risk to other motorists in general. In ANPR operations, safe stopping techniques are used and can be a planned part of the operation, as opposed to chance sightings of offenders by patrol officers. There should be no increased risk to the average road user.
Is this another type of speed camera?
No. ANPR focuses on crime prevention and detecting crime and is not a means for detecting speeding offences.
Human Rights
Isn't this the beginnings of a `Big Brother' state?
Criminals and terrorists are becoming increasingly more sophisticated in their activities; therefore, the police need to update their crime-fighting methods. The technology used will alert the police if there are legitimate concerns that the law has been broken; it will do little more than that. ANPR allows the police to focus on those who break the law. This means that people lawfully using our roads will do so unhindered by the police. There are very strict management processes in place to ensure that ANPR data is only used for legitimate policing purposes.
How can we be sure that innocent motorists will not have their details recorded or will not be stopped?
ANPR acts as a search tool of the number-plates it scans. It's only where a vehicle is of interest to the police because a motoring offence is noted, or there is other known criminal activity associated with it, that a vehicle would be stopped.
Data Protection / Freedom of Information / Human Rights
Will motorists be able to see the Information held on them by the police?
Data protection law will apply to any records associated with ANPR, the same as any other policing activity.
Will a permanent record be kept when someone is stopped? If so, for how long and where?
There are strict Association of Chief Police Officer (ACPO) guidelines on the police use of ANPR and these provide the necessary safeguards to prevent abuse of this technology. In certain high-profile investigations the police will value the ability to prove that a vehicle was in a specific area at a given time. There is provision within the technology to record this. Such records would only be kept in accordance with the Data Protection Act and the ACPO ANPR Guidelines.

I purchase this watch a while ago..still ticking...still stylish wear very well..
I liked the face of the watch, but the strap is stiff and of low quality. Wait until it breaks or fade and will buy a new strap for same; otherwise I like it a lot.
I ordered really close to Christmas. Arrived quickly and gifted in time. The friend I gave it too was extremely excited to receive
The face of the watch is exactly what I was looking for and I love it. The strap is very stiff and cheap looking, but for this price, one can't really expect much more.

[–]TravlngDildoSalesman 65 points66 points67 points 1 year ago
I think they actually hope and want people to be the shitlords they envision. They thrive on negativity. Their whole existence is just trying to be morally superior to everyone else.
[–][deleted] 22 points23 points24 points 1 year ago
Lucky for them I'm doing my part by oppressing them with thoughtful birthday gifts and holding the door open.
[–]splintercell 15 points16 points17 points 1 year ago
Clearly you don't see your privilege of being male and making more money which enables you to buy these birthday gifts.
And about holding the door open, that's just a reminiscent of an old practice where men sent women first into a room so that if there's any danger then that would befell upon the woman first and if it does then they can just go find a new one.
[–]ScrabCrab 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Your name is [deleted]. Awesome.
[–]UlciscorVegemite 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
I've recently become fascinated with their antics, and this seems to be closest to my interpretation of them. They see what they want to.
[–]CAWWW 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Personally, I am just depressed that they ruined the word "shitlord," which was formally just a funny non-insult like "douchecanoe" or something like that.
[–]SRSsrslySucks 26 points27 points28 points 1 year ago
Because SRS is full of inept hypocrites.
[–]brainrazera mole 26 points27 points28 points 1 year ago
You're beginning to know what I found out over a year ago. It's worth fighting against their mindset because it is harmful, and especially harmful for the ones they claim to protect.
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago
I understand where your coming from, although I tend to think that when you're standing ankle deep in a puddle of shit, the best thing to do is walk away, not stamp your feet. Picking your battles is important, I don't believe arguing with SRS on reddit is one worthy of fighting. The second anyone comes between them and their vapid dissent they'll just get banned.
[–]zahlmanchampion of the droletariat 12 points13 points14 points 1 year ago
The best thing to do is to clean up the mess yourself.
The second best thing to do is to calmly step out, then put up a sign warning others.
All I mean to say is that arguing with a mix of trolls and genuine hypocrites anonymously over the internet is about as useful as stamping your feet in a puddle of shit. Better to wait until you meet an SRSter in real life until you choose to obliterate their world view of male oppression.
[–]halibut-moon 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
You obviously can't talk with them inside SRS subs, they just ban. But you can respond to their hourly invasions of threads on reddit proper.
[–]El_Wigi 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago
Can you provide an example? I try not to browse SRS but I think I understand what you're talking about. I just don't think the dog analogy does your point any justice when they talk about actual people.
I have an example for you.
I lolled when that exchange (my first experience with an SRSter) got me banned from posting there.
[–]El_Wigi 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago
I like how using the word honkey is okay. Because privilege.
[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago
It's deeper than that, everything they get butthurt over they feel is OK in the exact opposite. Sexism? OK if it's against men, Homophobia? Heterophobia is fine.. the list goes on and on. SRS is a giant circle-jerking machine of hypocrisy. I never really understood what all the hype around SRS was about until I started reading posts over there (and tried to inject some rationality into a comment thread).
I'm certain Poe's law is a huge factor in a lot of the comments over there, with a large number of the people just trolling, fishing for a reaction from anyone not savvy to their bullshit. That said, I'm certain there's a decent proportion of SRSters who are legit butthurt over harmless words and genuinely feel that there isn't any hypocrisy going on in their little cesspool.
[–]ryumast3rBearded Viking Warrior 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
That's because it's only an -ism if it goes opposite the direction of power (in their opinion).
Example: Since white people are perceived to have more power than other groups, racism against white people isn't really racism because white people have all of the power. Just like ableism isn't really ableist if it's against people who can do "everything".
It's a really poor way of looking at it, in my opinion, but this is how they justify what we perceive as total hypocrisy.
One thing I learned from being in a similar situation (in regards to justifying everything) growing up, I can see how easy it is to get caught in the cycle.
Some people revel in the hypocrisy and the anger it causes them, others genuinely dislike it but feel that if they don't support it they are somehow "wrong" and left out of the group in a way. Of course, these two categories don't contain everyone, but whatever.
Edit: Poe's law also has a lot to do with it. It began as a giant circlejerk and has slowly evolved to be more and more serious.
[–]Moronoo 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
It's like anti-reddit sort of.

[–]lookatmetype 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Yea it brought back years of oppression white people have faced for being shitty dancers.
[–]Bandithorse 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
SRS is a group of intolerant, supremest, white males that realize that insulting gays, women and other races is no longer acceptable in society. The reason their subreddit exists is to create a place of superiority over the one group it is socially acceptable to ridicule... other white males.
Have you ever notice how much they like to mention that the majority of their members are white males? They use the censorship and the thought control to create a place where white males can feel like minorities, so they claim. In reality it is just to make them feel empowered and to make their own racist, sexist comments socially acceptable in their group dynamic. In truth they are cut from the same clothe as the bigots and homophobes.
[–]zahlmanchampion of the droletariat 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Wow, they're getting really lazy with new 'benned' images now.
[–]willtron_ 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
They're just a bunch of trolls! Their sole existence is to piss people off. Yeah, 99% of the comments they post really aren't overly offensive. They find a comment that could maybe offend someone super sensitive, then just reply with other bullshit on purpose. Just read the subreddit rules they have there. The openly state they're just a big circlejerk.
It's like the white knights of 4chan come to reddit. I don't really hate them. They've just got nothing productive to with their time, and by discussing them we just fuel their fire.
[–]lunarlumberjack 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
Exactly and the the fact that they use issues like racism, gay rights, rape, etc. as part of their circlejerk is pretty callous.
[–]jokemon 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
They are a down vote brigade, nothing else. They thrive on the criticism they get
[–]Fernando_x 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Mob mentality + cult-like control of their users. If the leaders say it is ok to hate poodles, we hate poodles, if the leaders say they love poodles, we have always loved poodles. Those who are not fast enough to adjust themselves or have a little capacity to cuestion things, are "benned", so then we have soon the mass of drones you have observed.
[–]icybains 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
My favorite example of this is anytime anyone compares them to Westboro, for the reason TravingDildoSalesman raises:
They all freak out, write shit like "We're not homophobes, how could you compare us to those assholes?!", one of them will post a picture of a ghost saying something about misandry, and the rest will either write strawmen in big red text or make "memes" with cats and dolphins.
None of them get that our qualms with them concern the fact that they never seem like they want to fix the problems they raise, only to shame redditors all day. Know who else spends their whole time complaining about the people around them without once attempting to be a part of any kind of real solution? The fucking Westboro Baptist Church.
[–]borderlinebadger 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
It is basically intellectual colonialism.
[–]BallsackTBaghard 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
That is called postmodernism, bro, postmodernism.
[–]JohnsonFiddle 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
This kind of behavior is postmodernism just like nazism is conservatism.
If you claim to be more reasonable, don't be like them.
[–]kwykwy 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Some people skim and miss the point, some people are exaggerating and circlejerking, and some people are seeing a problem with it that you might not.
[–]timetogo134 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Late to the party here, and it's already been said but whatever.
Just look at the numbers. SRSPrime has about 33k subs, SRSD about 8k, and almost any other Fempire sub between 10 - 1,000.
Why? Guess which one is the only one where you can go and literally be totally unresponsible for your actions and just say whatever hatefilled bullshit you want to?
SRS is only about feeding their outrage addiction, period. There is nothing good to come from them (unfortunately... if done right they could be a massive force for good). They are literally the reddit version of 12 year olds on CoD just saying anything they can to piss people off. And why? Fuck if I know. I grew out of that decades ago and was never that into it to begin with. I guess I just don't like being willfully ignorant just so it's easier to make myself pissed off, so I can't be in SRS.

Reflected LightWhat about illuminated objects? The same basic mechanisms apply, but the energy that excites the atoms of an illuminated object is actually other light waves! A photon of light is absorbed by an atom, the electron is elevated to a higher energy level, then it drops to it original state, and a photon is released. This photon may or may not be of the same frequency that the atom first absorbed. Looking at the bigger picture, reflected light can also be depicted in another manner. Light can be thought of as a series of rays. When it strikes an object, each ray is reflected off the object in many different directions. Those that reach our eyes allow us to "see" the object in question. |

The wide range of cards based on the GeForce 7600GT GPU is sometimes confusing for the novice graphics card buyer. In Gigabyte's GV-NX76T256D-RH Silent Pipe II, you find a talented card capable of solid graphics performance that doesn't require a noisy fan to dissipate the heat generated by the card. 12 pixel pipelines and 256 MB of onboard GDDR3 memory running at 1.4GHz will let you run your best games at their highest settings and suffer no loss of performance. You can be assured this ability will last, due to the card's compliance with DirectX9, OpenGL 2.0, HDTV and Windows Vista compatibility for future game development.
This brilliant card incorporates several of NVIDIA's in-house technologies to help unleash the potential of your games, and the superscalar architecture will give you deadlier demons, deeper shadows, dynamic lighting, and realistic explosions to immerse you in your virtual universe. Gigabyte's Silent Pipe II technology allows you to vent heat from your case through the heatsink to provide more efficient cooling. You might say this is a cool card for a cooler price. Get some!

Pretty GoodPros: Silent and high performing. Cons: Died after 6 years, although i might still consider this a positive, was able to run games great up to the end. Did you find this review helpful? |
beware not HDCP compliantPros: I've had this card for 7 months and even though it's in a smallish case, with 2 60mm fans pulling air out the back, and a beefy dual core processor, it never climbs above 53c which is well WELL within normal operating temps. I have this card driving a 42" plasma as the secondary screen while a 17" LCD monitor is the primary. I can display HD (true HD, not compressed stuff) on the plasma, and be browsing, downloading, chatting on the LCD with no stuttering. Cons: This card might be the ONLY 7600GT that is not HDCP compliant. By every mod and home theater PC website editors reckonings the cut off point at which you may not get a card that is HDCP is in the 7600GS. According to most of them, any nVidia at 7600GT and above is automatically compliant. Guess what... this card is a souped up GS and IS NOT HDCP. Other Thoughts: HDCP will apparently be needed once Sony completes their takeover of the future of home movie purchasing. Then, they will begin enforcing it and a lot of people are going to find that their TVs and video cards are not going to be able to talk to each other. Did you find this review helpful? |
Won't fit in your BTX board/case comboPros: I don't know. I couldn't install it without a dremel, and I am not cutting up a nice new case for a video card. Moshker != casemodding fanboy. No offense fanboys. Cons: Won't fit in a BTX board/case combo because of the extra slot that is necessary. Other Thoughts: Supposed to have been a totally silent and great card. Too bad I didn't get to find out first hand. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice and quietPros: No fans = quiet. Temp also under control. Cons: Take 2 slots (one for the cooling coils to stick out of the case), rendering the next PCIe x 1 slot on my MB useless. Other Thoughts: Asus M2N-E Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Very easy to install. Pluged in card, loaded new downloaded driver and everthing worked great. Of course very quite with no fan. Card runs very cool. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice for a silent systemPros: If you need silence, this is it. Installed easy, no complications. Cons: Double wide card can block other slots on your motherboard, so plan that out in advance. To my suprise is also blocked the x1 slot behind it, not just the next slot in front of it. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Other Thoughts: Are cheaper and smaller if you don't need a silent card, but if you do, get this. Did you find this review helpful? |
Silence is GoldenPros: Its amazing how good of a video card this is with passive cooling. All I can hear now is my power supply fan and I am changing that out next. Not only does this card cool its self, but it pulls heat out from the case as well. Simply amazing. Throw in a $30 rebate and a free DVD for Civ 4 and you cant go wrong. Cons: Card defaults to SLI mode I think, but that could be because I have a dual video card MB but only one video card. Other Thoughts: Fast shipping with tracking. Awesome. Did you find this review helpful? |
Big Bad CardPros: Silent Cooling keeps your computer quiet. Thermal cooling design is a sight to behold. Cons: Doesn't leave a lot of room for other peripherals. Other Thoughts: This card, as others have mentioned, is going to take up two to three PCI slots, depending on your board layout. Did you find this review helpful? |
Coming back for SecondsPros: Obvious: quite, no fan, 256MB GDDR3. This runs nearly everything well, most great. Cons: Heatpipes get in the way of the card cooler in the Antec P180 case, so the cooler cannot have a fan mounted in it to fit. The card overheated once, black screen resulted, but modifying my case airflow resolved the issue and it has been stable for months. Other Thoughts: I run Oblivion 1680x1050 med and hi settings, no HDR(prefer AA). Mostly smooth, some jerkiness outdoors during fights with several participants. Opteron 165 O/C 2.13Ghz, 2GB DDR. I will see if SLI'ing a second card helps here, will update the CPU later. Did you find this review helpful? |
Update your drivers!Pros: See my previous comments. Cons: The drivers that came with the cards did not run my system in SLI mode. Several lock ups. Downloaded new drivers from Gigabyte and everything works great now. Did you find this review helpful? |

A new federal directive issued Wednesday will force railway companies to take steps they, almost unbelievably, did not have to take before: they will have to regularly inform municipalities about the dangerous goods rolling through their backyards.
The move by Transport Minister Lisa Raitt comes after the horrifying rail disaster in Lac-Mégantic, Que., and a series of derailments in Alberta have put the rail industry under the microscope. The directive requires all Canadian railway operators to provide an annual breakdown of the type and volume of dangerous goods that have rumbled down the tracks. Big railways, like Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, will have to display the information quarterly.
Smaller railways also will have to tell municipalities right away if there are significant changes to the nature of goods being transported.
The Railway Association of Canada said it welcomed a formalized method of sharing this information. Many mayors, including Edmonton's Don Iveson, called it a positive step.
Requiring rail companies to provide information about shipping trends related to dangerous goods makes sense because it will help municipalities make smart decisions about training and equipment for emergency responders.
But in Alberta, where the economy is red hot and billions of dollars of industrial projects are underway, it feels as though annual summaries may not reflect the immediate reality on the railroads.
Some mayors say there still need to be changes to how information flows in a rail-related crisis. Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who has been outspoken about the need for cities and towns to know more about the dangerous goods moving through them after two serious rail incidents, called the new directives a "tentative first step."
Earlier this year, Nenshi criticized CP after eight hydrocarbon-carrying rail cars went off the rails in Calgary in September, requiring 142 homes to be evacuated, and expressed frustration over what he described as an "antiquated paper-based system." Wednesday, Nenshi told the Calgary Herald that Raitt's announcement is helpful for planning, "but it's certainly not helpful for emergency response."
Likewise, Mayor Jacques Demers of Ste-Catherine-de-Hatley, Que., told the Montreal Gazette that municipalities need to know in real time the type, volume and frequency of dangerous goods moving through their territory.
There is no reason why municipal emergency response officials should ever have to wait for such critical information in a crisis. Some believe the current system, which sees information passed through the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre in the event of an accident, is a good vehicle that just needs to be tweaked.
If that system can be improved so municipal officials are not left in the dark for a minute as to the contents of a derailed car, that is fine. But if it cannot be, then government officials need to go back to the drawing board. Is there a way to create a secure database tracking trains and their contents that top officials can access instantly in an emergency?
Companies such as Walmart have made their fortunes, in part, by using real-time inventory systems and just-in time delivery models. They know what's in their stores and on warehouse shelves and where their vehicles are at all times.
Rail is usually a safe mode of transportation. But when things go wrong, cities and towns along rail lines should know immediately what kind of dangerous goods they are dealing with.

Celebrity Mariah Carey says Nick Cannon kidney failure problem is cured?
January 10th, 2012
Celebrity Mariah Carey took to Twitter to update fans and supporters on the condition of hubby Nick Cannon, who last week was hospitalized in Aspen, CO, after suffering acute kidney failure. Recovering at home with the aid of concierge doctors and nursing staff is a smart decision for the celeb -- as staff infections and other diseases are present in hospitals. Being around unfamiliar bacteria is also rough on a patient whose system is already week. So, resting up while taking things easy at home should have the America's Got Talent host back on stage and playing with his new twins expediently. Keep reading...

La Esperanza Es El Arco Iris De La Vida We watch four different stories from four different parts of the world, which all share one same element: the innocence of children against the ruthless life. These four stories each represent an area of action that UNICEF deals with, which are HIV-Aids, female illiteracy, child workers and criminal activities among children. Therefore, the main aim of this film is to offer a cinematic contribution to children's rights with the support of UNICEF. However, don't just expect a 90 minutes tour of poverty, pain and suffering with dull background information. There is much more than that. First of all, the stories are mainly told by the children involved in the situation so you get a glimpse into the children's world and can enjoy a different perspective. For example, what could a little girl at the age of three mean by saying that her mum has a special liking for cleaning and wants to see all the cars on the streets shining? Or that her father is an adventure-loving explorer and that she is the queen of the treasures? Three year-old Maca from Argentina shows us the moment of happiness in her life in spite of the realities she cannot yet see. Ravi lives with his grandmother in a remote village in India. He has to walk a long distance to the school in another village, because he is not wanted in his village because of a reason he is not aware of. He has to work to save extra money, because he doesn't have a uniform to wear in a simple school dance. 70 year-old Eusebia has never learned how to read and write. That is because she had to work when she left the Amazons and came down to the town. Now her grandchildren share the same fate, although they are eager to learn. But life in Peru won't give them a chance to choose. Binta lives in a village in Senegal and she goes to the school every day. But her cousin Soda is not as lucky as her... Apart from four touching stories, the film is also enriched by breathtaking scenes from the unknown parts of the world.

Motion is vastly underused in youth football. The benefits of implementing motion cannot be overlooked. Here are 3 reasons why you should implement motion in your youth football offense.
Creates Conflict
Motions like jet and rocket will put the defense in a serous conflict. Executing plays like jet and rocket sweep will attack the edge of the defense quickly. Jet sweep and rocket sweep will allow the ball carrier to receive a pitch or hand off while running at full speed. It will force the defense to either adjust to the motion or get beat by the motion. It will force defenses to over shift or roll defenders to the motion side. Once the defense starts to over shift, they open themselves up for plays that attack the opposite side of the motion. Many coaches will not know how to adjust to the motion, especially if they do not scout your team and practice their adjustment to it in practice. Teams that have to change or adjust to the motion on the fly usually do not fair very well. There will be massive confusion with their defense if they have not prepared for it in practice.
Check out Coach Jeff's dominating Jet Sweep Play:
You can use motion to send another blocker to the point of attack. You can use a motion back to lead block, kick out or trap block. It will also create an unbalanced formation. In youth football many coaches do not even notice or adjust to an unbalanced formation. Since many coaches do not adjust their defenses to an unbalanced formation it will give your offense the blocker/defender ratio advantage. Using motion is also a man to man killer. Having a player go in motion will force a defender to follow the motion player. You can use the motion to clear out a side and then run to it. You can use motion to also take their best player out of the game by making him follow the motion back.
Deception is vital in youth football. Having plays that offer deception will make the defense read instead of reacting. It will make the linebackers and secondary react indecisively because they are not sure where the play is going. It will also draw eyes to the motion player. Once the defense starts over playing to the motion side you can hit them with a counter or inside trap play. Having a player come in motion creates big problems for defensive coordinators.
Jet Motion
In Jet Motion the motion player come straight across the formation, horizontally. This motion is used when running jet sweep. This motion is also a great way to get a lead blocker in front of the running back.
Rocket Motion
A deeper motion that will allow the ball carrier to get the ball and get down hill when blocking or receiving a pitch. Usually rocket motion goes right behind a fullback or half back.
Please Note: The motion player cannot go or lean forward while in motion. The motion player is not allowed to gain any ground going forward until the ball is snapped, or it is a penalty. A motion player can go backwards and or horizontally, but not forward.

Alzheimer's Disease(Alzheimer's Dementia)
Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD DefinitionAlzheimer's disease is a condition that destroys brain cells. People with this disease slowly lose the ability to learn, function, and remember. It is the most common cause of dementia. Dementia is a loss in mental abilities that is great enough to interfere with daily life.
CausesThe cause of Alzheimer's is not yet known. Two factors that may play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease are:
Risk Factors TOPFactors that may increase your chance of Alzheimer's disease include:
Researchers are studying the following to see if they are related to Alzheimer's disease:
Symptoms TOPThe disease begins as mild memory lapses. It will continue toward a profound loss of memory and function. Alzheimer's disease is divided into three stages:
Symptoms include:
Diagnosis TOPThere are no tests to confirm Alzheimer's. The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will ask many questions. This will help to rule out other causes. Tests to rule out other medical conditions may include:
Treatment TOPThere is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. There are no certain ways to slow its progression. Four medicines are available to treat some of the symptoms. Other drugs are being studied. The goal is to find a medicine that can manage the symptoms or slow the condition's course. Medications for Symptoms and Disease ProgressionOnly two types of medicines have been approved to reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease:
Treatments that are being studied include:
Lifestyle ManagementManaging the disease includes:
Psychiatric MedicationPsychiatric symptoms may occur with Alzheimer's disease. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to treat:
Caregiver SupportCaring for a person with Alzheimer's disease is extremely difficult and exhausting. The primary caregiver needs emotional support, rest, and regular breaks.The http://www.alz.org/index.asp is an excellent resource for families and caregivers If you are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, follow your doctor's instructions. Prevention TOPThere are no guidelines for preventing Alzheimer's disease because the exact cause is unknown. However, the following factors may help you reduce your risk of Alzheimer's disease:

How to Make Mexican Rice
When it comes to Mexican cooking, tacos, burritos, enchiladas and other main courses tend to take center stage, in your mind and on the table. But to truly complete a Tex-Mex feast, you should learn how to make Mexican rice...without reaching for a boxed mix or heat-and-serve pouch.What makes this rice dish Mexican? Onions, garlic, whole-kernel corn, tomatoes, and green chilies -- some of the staples of Mexican cuisine. Then it's topped with Monterey Jack cheese and baked to hot, melted goodness.
You can serve it with any Mexican entree, of course, but this Mexican rice recipe is so good you might find it becomes the favorite side dish to many of your everyday meals -- watch out Italy, France, and Spain!
Hey, everyone. I'm Judith. Well, today I'm gonna be showing
you how to make Spicy Mexican Rice, a really fantastic
accompaniment to any entree. So, what you'll need for this
is 3 tablespoons of butter; 1 small chopped onion; 1
clove of garlic, minced; 1 1/2 cups of long-grain rice,
uncooked; 1 can or 15-ounces of whole-kernel corn, drained; 2
cans or 10-ounces of diced tomatoes with green chilies; 2
cans or 14.5-ounces of chicken broth; 1 teaspoon of ground
cumin; 1/2 teaspoon of salt; and 1 cup or around
4-ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, grated. Alright, fantastic. This is
a really be flavorful rice dish which I just love
making. So, first of all we preheated our oven to
350-degrees Fahrenheit. That's getting nice and hot for our rice.
Now, we have a large Dutch oven to the side
of this. We're gonna put it to a medium-high heat
and first of all, we're gonna melt our butter into
the bottom of that pan. When the butter has melted,
in goes our chopped onions and our minced garlic and
our rice. So, we're gonna cook that with the onions,
the garlic, and the rice until the rice gets nice
and brown. Keep stirring so it doesn't stick to the
bottom and all of those flavors get infused together. Once
the rice is brown, we'll be back with the rest.
So, our rice has browned really nicely. The idea here
is putting the rice in without any liquid so it
got a really nice color on it and it just
goes with that Spicy Mexican Rice feel that we're aiming
for, so lovely brown rice. Now, after that, let's add
in our broth. Just turn down the heat if it's
on too high. Our diced tomatoes go in there too
and our lovely corn, a staple in Mexican's cuisine, and
in goes the cumin, that lovely Mexican spice, and the
salt. So, just give that a bit of a whirl
like so. Now, we want to bring that to the
boil. Once it starts boiling and bubbling up, we're gonna
reduce the heat to a low. We're gonna put the
cover on and we're gonna simmer that for 20 minutes
until all the liquid is absorbed into the rice. Well,
our rice is just about done now. All the liquid
is practically absorbed into it and it's very nice and
tender and just-- look at that, full of color and
full of flavor just the way we want it. Now,
you can eat it like that if you want but
what we're gonna do is bake it with some nice
cheese on top. So, spoon out your rice unto a
3-quart baking dish like this all the way and just
look how beautiful that looks. Oh, fantastic. I mean this
is a dish in itself but, of course, served with
some-- some chicken breast-- mostly chicken or something like that.
Oh, it just be divine. So, we'll spread that out
unto our baking dish. Last few bits right here, alright.
Now, as I said earlier, our oven is pre-heated to
350-degrees Fahrenheit. So, that's nice and hot for our rice.
Let's not waste any of it. We'll get the last
few remnants. Fantastic. Voila! Spread that around. So, last but
not the least, la pista resistance, the cheese. So, just
get a handful of the cheese and we're gonna sprinkle
that all on top of that rice dish like this.
Beautiful. Obviously, we got a little bit more cheese. Put
it on there. Be generous with the cheese. Alright, so
that is gonna go in the oven now at 350-degrees
Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Well, our Spicy Mexican Rice is
done. We've taken it out of the oven. It's been
in there for 15 minutes. All of that beautiful cheese
has melted into the rice and that just looks fantastic.
And as I said, that can be an accompaniment to
some beef or chicken or just with some salad like
that. It's a meal in itself. So, there you go
everyone, really delicious, warm, and inviting with a nice Mexican
kick. That's how you make Spicy Mexican Rice.
What You'll Need
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice, uncooked
- 1 can (15-ounce) whole-kernel corn, drained
- 2 cans (10-ounce) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cans (14.5-ounce) chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (4 ounces) Monterey Jack cheese, grated
Step By Step
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and rice. Cook until rice is browned, stirring often.
Stir in corn, tomatoes, broth, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and cook for 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
Spoon rice into a lightly greased 9-x-13-x-2-inch baking dish. Top with shredded cheese
Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Needless to say, it's worth knowing how to make Mexican rice. Whether you're throwing a Cinco de Mayo party or cooking a weeknight meal for your family, adding this dish to your repertoire can be key to ensuring your Tex-Mex meals stand in a class all their own.
More Recipes
For extra protein in this quick side dish, stir in a can of rinsed, drained black beans just before serving.

A couple days ago we broke out our 4th of July decorations, which mainly consist of things that are handed to us at our town's 4th of July parade. I hadn't put much effort into this holiday, until now! Chloe insisted that we have something festive on our table and I agreed. So together we made this super easy table runner, which turned out pretty cute!

The Best Way to Play Co-Op in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
So we here at Kotaku (and by "we" I mean "the Interns") were going to briefly demo Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D's Co-Op gameplay for you-but being the forward-thinking young professionals that we are, we thought, why not kick it up a notch?
This is the Entire Resident Evil: Revelations Demo
If you've already picked up your copy of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D for Nintendo 3DS, then you've also probably already played the preview of Resident Evil: Revelations, which is included as a special feature. If you haven't, the preview is about five minutes worth of gameplay, and it's a great peek at what we…
Rejoin Some Old Friends in This Resident Evil: The Mercenaries…
Remember the time you gunned down all of those terrifying, pasty monks? Or when that unhinged fella with the chainsaw chased you down the alleyway? Man, that was really fun.
The War on Horror is Not Going So Well
In Capcom's latest viral video for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, an unprofessional news anchor completely loses his head when a remote report on the "war of horror" goes awry.
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D Comes With An Evil Revelation
On sale this June, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D for the 3DS will be bundled with a demo for the upcoming Resident Evil: Revelations. [via IT Media]
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D Dated For Japan
Mark your calendars! According to the latest issue of Japanese game mag Famitsu, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D will be released on June 2, priced at ¥4,800 (US$59). The game will feature a "Duo Mode" that allows for two person co-op - via local or online play.

Mystical spiritual formation practices are being taught not only in retreat centers and monasteries, but in evangelical Christian churches as well. Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois and Saddleback Church in California are two of the forerunners in evangelical spiritual formation teaching.
What's taught at Willow Creek?
Willow Creek Community Church, Bill Hybels' church of over 22,000, has six campuses in Illinois and is growing in influence across America and the world.
In her 2007 article "Rediscovering Spiritual Formation," Willow Creek member Keri Wyatt Kent writes positively about "monastic communities" and "the emergent church."i These two buzzwords refer to the renewed popularity of ancient mystic practices such as visualization, meditation, and the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius.
In her article, Kent also states that while there are some "conservative" Christians who are suspect of spiritual formation, the term and the practices "have become much more mainstream."ii She also tells us that spiritual formation is a ministry at Willow Creek:
Much of that has happened even in the last five years, says Mindy Caliguire, who formerly led the spiritual formation ministry at Willow Creek Community Church. She's the president and founder of Soul Care (www.soulcare.com), which consults with churches and individuals, and she serves as a regional director for the Spiritual Formation Alliance, a network of churches, educators, parachurch organizations and others who want to help local churches bring spiritual formation into every area of their influence.iii
Kent identifies Richard Foster as a leader in the shift towards acceptance of spiritual formation. Foster is the author of Celebration of Discipline and founder of Renovaré, an organization that "advocates, encourages, and resources intentional living and spiritual formation."iv
Kent also praises Renovaré team member Dallas Willard for his work in the 1980s, in which he "re-introduced evangelicals to classic spiritual disciplines such as solitude, silence, and fasting, and offered a more contemplative approach to Scripture and prayer."v
In Kent's article, she also promotes spiritual direction,vi which is not Scriptural guidance but rather blind submission to a director who may not even have the same values as the directee.
What's Taught at Saddleback Church?
Saddleback Church is the eighth-largest Christian church in the USA.vii How is this mega-church using its influence?
The Purpose Driven Life
In 2002, Saddleback Church's senior pastor and founder Rick Warren published his book The Purpose Driven Life. Since then, over 30 million copies of the books have sold in 56 languages.viii This book supports spiritual formation practices and attitudes, as the following quotes attest:
The Bible tells us to "pray all the time." How is it possible to do this? One way is to use "breath prayers" throughout the day, as many Christians have done for centuries. You choose a brief sentence or a simple phrase that can be repeated to Jesus in one breath...
The last thing many believers need today is to go to another Bible study. They already know far more than they are putting into practice...
If you want Jesus to come back sooner, focus on fulfilling your mission, not figuring out prophecy.ix
Read more about Rick Warren and his theology
Saddleback pastor Lance Witt writes about visualization in his 2006 article "Enjoying God's Presence in Solitude." Read Lighthouse Trails' blog for more about Warren, Witt, contemplative prayer, and Thomas Merton

Apple Revamping Affiliate Program for Digital Content Stores with New Networks and New Countries
Apple today announced that it will be making changes to its affiliate program for its digital content stores, bringing on a new partner to help expand participation to new countries. Under Apple's affiliate programs, participants can earn commissions on revenue generated through links to the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, and iBookstore in various countries. The program also provides a number of tools to help website owners add digital content from Apple to their sites. The existing program uses four separate affiliate networks to provide coverage for a number of countries: - LinkShare: United States, Canada and Mexico - Tradedoubler: Europe and Brazil - LinkShare Japan: Japan - dgm: Australia and New Zealand The revised program is streamlined to just two affiliate networks, while also including a significant expansion in the number of countries where commissions are earned.

Yeah, never cared much for LinkShare at all.
I remember back in the 90's, you'd install this tool bar that would display advertisements and you'd get paid. I think it was the only legit service out there. I made like 80 bucks until they either got shutdown or quit. Can't seem to find any other ones out there like that.

Can anyone give some insight into the profitability of the Affliate program? How does it work? What's the pay schedule? Thinks like that.

Aug 19, 2013, 03:45 PM | #7 | |
How does it work? Well, you generally have to have a website. A review blog, an Apple blog, or a general blog about movies, TV, etc. Or you can have it so on your forum, every link to iTunes has your affiliate link attached. This might give you an idea of the choices they give you in promoting their stuff: http://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/us/ You have to hit $30 before they'll pay you. And it's a monthly thing.

The thing that surprises a lot of people about the iTunes affil program is that you get a cut of everything a user buys on iTunes within a certain period after following the link. In the new program, it's 7% of 24 hours. So that means it actually makes sense to link to a free app, because the user may then buy a paid app (or, if you're lucky, Final Cut Pro X
see what I did there?)

Can anyone confirm the payment scenario?
It looks like you have to reach a certain threshold PER country before you get paid. I don't think that was the same with linkshare?

Lets get physical
30 July 2010 Feature
Physical chemists are finding themselves more in demand than ever. Emma Davies finds out why
Physical chemistry
M Sangaranarayanan and M Mahadevan
CRC Press
2012 | 592pp | £49.99 (HB)
Reviewed by Stephen Ashworth
Here, a broad sweep of expected material is covered, with some unusual additions, in a mathematically rigorous and concise fashion. Some of the chapters seem a little unbalanced: one or two particularly short ones might usefully be combined with others.
Each chapter has a bullet point summary at the start to list what is covered and a key points section at the end that neatly recaps the chapter. Together with these are exercises and problems. No solutions are given, but there are worked examples throughout.
The authors have opted for a predominantly monochrome approach, which gives the book a clean feel. The text uses the whole width of the page and a good sized font that helps to make the whole uncluttered. There is merely a nod to the modern preoccupation for breaking up the text with boxes. Unfortunately, these grey patches spoil the layout and mar the clean lines of the rest of the book.
So far, so good. Unfortunately, I would not be able to recommend this book to a student. There are inconsistencies in terminology, some abominable diagrams and the occasional instance of something that is simply wrong. In a subject where we are trying to instil adherence to convention and a consistency of nomenclature, a student would rightly be confused when an equation refers to v and the text following to V. The diagrams are, on the whole, good and well reproduced; however, some of those that appear to have been drawn by the authors end up doing more harm than good. These defects would cause all but the most able students real problems.
Such problems can be found throughout the book, wherever one dips in it will not be long before one a confusing diagram, inconsistent nomenclature or terminology, or something simply wrong crops up. With a strong health warning, it might be a useful text for an expert. However, I would not recommend it to students until it had been subject to an exacting copy edit.

Charlie Apicella & Iron City: The Business (2011)
Strong performances from drummer Alan Korzin and organist Dave Mattock drive the funk-styled title piece along firmly, conveying the message that this album is now "open for business." "64 Cadillac" takes on a percussive flair, with Mayra Casales pounding the congas, accompanied by tenor saxophoist Stephen Riley and Apicella's light riffs. Grant Green 's "Donny Brook" and Apicella's "Ironcity"apparently misspelled on the back cover as "Ironicity"flow briskly, embracing an assertive bop-ish texture.
Apicella enters center stage with a charming performance on the only soft ballad of the disc, evoking memories of Elvis Presley with the lovely "Can't Help Falling In Love." The group takes a soulful approach on "Cantaloupe Woman," a tune from Blue Note house drummer Ben Dixon Quintet , while turning in another hard-driving performance on the Stitt standard, "Blue String." The funk returns on Mattock's "The Shaw Shuffle," as the band borrows from the Turrentine songbook to close the business of this session in percussive, blistering fashion with a lengthy rendition of "Stanley's Time."
On its impressive debut, Sparks (CMJ Jazz, 2010), Charlie Apicella & Iron City drew on music from Lonnie Smith and Lou Donaldson , visiting material from the organ trios of earlier times. The group remains true to this foundation with The Business , while venturing into modern territory and displaying a flair for the funkier side of jazz.
Track Listing: The Business; 64 Cadillac; Donny Brook; Ironcity; Can't Help Falling In Love; Cantaloupe Woman; Blue String; The Shaw Shuffle; Stanley's Time.
Personnel: Charlie Apicella: guitar; Dave Mattock: Hammond organ; Alan Korzin: drums; Stephen Riley: tenor saxophone; Mayra Casales: congas, percussion.

Noncontractible Heterogeneity in Directed Search
This paper provides a directed search model designed to explain the residual part of wage variation left over after the impact of education and other observable worker characteristics have been removed. Workers have private information about their characteristics at the time they apply for jobs. Firms value these characteristics differently and can observe them once workers apply. They hire the worker they most prefer. However, the characteristics are not contractible, so firms cannot condition their wages on them. This paper shows how to extend arguments from directed search to handle this, allowing for arbitrary distributions of worker and firm types. The model is used to provide a functional relationship that ties together the wage distribution and the wage-duration function. This relationship provides a testable implication of the model. This relationship suggests a common property of wage distributions that guarantees that workers who leave unemployment at the highest wages also have the shortest unemployment duration. This is in strict contrast to the usual (and somewhat implausible) directed search story in which high wages are always accompanied by higher probability of unemployment.
