Rackspace Startup Program Spotlight: FastCustomer
We've all had the experience of being "on hold," and are too familiar with the robotic voice that says, "the average wait time is… thirty… nine…minutes," followed by monotonous on-hold music and endless marketing pitches for a product that has your blood pressure peaking.
makes customer service and sales calls feel better for everyone involved by eliminating "Waiting on Hold." FastCustomer's iPhone and Android app, targeted sponsorship spots, and web-based call-back module bridges the gap between companies committed to their customers, and customers who make value-based purchasing decisions.

Rackspace Startup Program Spotlight: Friendeo
Way back in 1992, long before the inception of the
Rackspace Startup Program
, rock & roll storyteller Bruce Springsteen wrote "Man came by to hook up my cable TV…We settled in for the night my baby and me…We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn…There was 57 channels and nothing on." Today there are 500+ channels of television and nothing on. Friendeo solves this problem by organizing all Internet video based on social context. The result is a video stream that is relevant, fun, entertaining and available anywhere, anytime.

Interesting. I suppose it could also be said that Jackson could have thrown 2 if he had finished the game but you can't rewrite what was never written.
Jackson's yards per attempt was 7.5, Whitehurst's was 7.8. Each threw a TD.
Completing 68% of your passes is better than completing 58%.
The way some are talking here, you would think;
1. Whitehurst played light's out, while TJ sucked.
2. They watched the Seahawks game & not the Vikings.
Possibly they thought that Whitehurst looked more in command of the team than TJ no matter what the stats were and simply stated as such.
Really- You can let it all go now because he once again proved he cannot stay healthy and will once again not be starting because he is made of glass.
No, I didn't watch it. The Vikings played at the same time. I watched the Vikings game.
What game did you watch?
He barely scratched the triple digit mark with 100.5, which is probably why you said triple digit rather than use the number.
The difference maker was the INT.
The Seahawks also didn't have 2 fumbles in the redzone (1 at the 11 of NY & one at the 2 of NY) during any of Whitehurst's drives.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Shhhhhhhhh....don't try and interject logic into a Jackson discussion with Singer, it just confuses him. And when he gets confused, he gets angry....and when he gets angry, he's simply no fun at all. Just agree with him...
You're right, Singer, Jackson turned in yet another Pro-Bowl worthy performance today. It's amazing that the rest of the world gets so wrapped up in INT's and injuries...neither of which could have been Jackson's fault. Heck, I'll bet you that if he had a HOF-worthy O-line and phenomenal receivers and an elite RB, he could have easily cracked the 200 yard mark today...and probably thrown for at LEAST 2 TD's. How we ever let him slip away from us is beyond me...
...kind of like Troy Williamson. He was right on the verge of turning into something special too....just a few more starts...

Unless you have Sunday Ticket and a DVR.
But alas I guess you are right. You are once again the winner of the debate by a knockout and Jackson is still the undefeated champion of the QB world.
No one said Jackson turned out a pro-bowl day today, you're the only one mentioning it & again putting words in my mouth.
Why would they be taping the Seahawks game on PVR or DVR, unless their only agenda is to look for anything he does wrong, then quickly jump on PP.O & start yet another TJ bashing thread. It's mostly the same two people who have started over a dozen of them now.
At least you & Marrdro have a reason for taping it, the others are simply doing it for obvious reasons. I didn't see any of them starting a thread last week.
The funny thing is, they're patting Whitehurst on the back for a job well done, the very same type of outing they used to criticize, chastise & hate Jackson for.Last edited by singersp; 10-09-2011 at 08:20 PM.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
And I only mentioned it with a heavy dose of sarcasm.
Look, Jackson was a former Viking player, and - pro or con - was the hotbed of conversation for almost 5 years. People are going to follow him out of morbid curiosity.
I kept an eye on Williamson after we jettisoned him. I wanted to see if he was as bad as I'd thought he was, or if it was caused by playing here. And he stunk.
People will watch Jackson with a passing interest and will post when he falters because it validates the position our team took on him.
BTW, last week wasn't a stunning performance either...from what I understand, it was almost the type of performance that a 6 year Vet SHOULD be turning in.
Bottom line, don't be so quick to rush to Jackson's defense. It's a fight you'll never win. But I'll still let you throw empties at Marrdro with me while he dances a jig when he pays off on the beer bet.
Don't care about the numbers. TJack sucks. Glad he's someone else's boob now.

Audit Process
Audit projects performed by Internal Audit are conducted in accordance with the professional standards and code of ethics of the Institute of Internal Auditors. The IIA serves over 70,000 members and provides the internal auditing profession with standards, guidance, and information on internal auditing best practices. Audit standards require all work to be performed in a confidential and ethical manner.
Audit projects are initiated as a result of:
Annual Audit Plan Management Requests Fraud or Special Investigations
The Annual Audit Plan is developed by Internal Audit. This Annual Audit Plan is based on the results of a high level risk assessment that is designed to address relevant risks that may negatively impact University operations and/or performance. This plan is reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees and the Chancellor. It identifies the audit projects to be conducted during the upcoming fiscal year; however, it can be amended to include requested reviews, special projects, or changes in priority.
The Audit Process consists of four primary phases:
Planning Fieldwork Reporting Follow-Up
Planning During the planning phase, the auditor establishes the detailed audit program and procedures that will be conducted during the scheduled engagement. Audit procedures are designed to meet the audit objective and scope established for the review.
The auditor obtains a general understanding of the department or process being audited. Typical audit planning activity includes:
Review of existing policies, procedures and applicable regulations Discussion with the FinanceOffice Obtaining background information regarding the department/process Analysis of potential risks Communication with the client
During the planning phase the auditor may utilize questionnaires, surveys or other tools to obtain an understanding of existing procedures and/or controls.
An Entrance Conference will be held with management prior to our beginning actual audit fieldwork. Participants in this meeting will include appropriate management representatives as well as other relevant personnel that have knowledge of the process or department being reviewed. Management is responsible for identifying personnel that should participate in the Entrance Conference. During the Entrance Conference the auditor and management will discuss:
Objective and Scope of the review Timing of the audit Contact persons/departments Management Concerns Current Practices
Fieldwork During audit fieldwork, the auditor will collect, analyze, interpret and document policies, procedures and transactions within an organizational unit. The auditor will perform their work in accordance with the audit program. During the course of fieldwork, internal control weaknesses may be identified that fall outside the original objective and scope of the review. Internal Audit is responsible to report these issues to management to ensure their appropriate disposition and resolution.
The auditor will perform their work in an efficient manner that minimizes department interruptions. Meetings will be scheduled in advance when possible and requests for information will be provided to management to facilitate the timely and orderly collection of data.
Audit updates will be provided throughout the audit to communicate the progress of the audit as well as observations to-date. Departmental personnel will have the opportunity to provide input regarding observations and recommendations.
Reporting A draft audit report will be distributed to management when audit procedures are complete and initial observations and recommendations have been communicated.
An Exit Conference will be held with management to discuss the audit observations, recommendations, and corrective actions once fieldwork is complete.
A Final Audit Report will be issued after the draft report is discussed with management. This report will include management comments to audit recommendations. Final Audit Reports are issued to the Dean and/or Director responsible for the entity or process being audited. A summary of all audits completed by Internal Audit is reported to the Board of Regents on a quarterly basis.
Follow-Up Internal Audit will conduct follow-up procedures to ensure corrective measures have been implemented in a timely and effective manner. Follow-up procedures are generally performed 6-12 months after the final report is issued. A summary of all follow-up reviews completed by Internal Audit is reported to the Board of Regents on a quarterly basis.
Management Responsibilities During the course of the audit, management is expected to work proactively with Internal Audit to facilitate the effective and efficient completion of audit procedures.

Let the Scenery Take Your Breath Away at Mars Hill Cabins
Some of the best vacation destinations are right in your own back yard. Blue Ridge Mountain resorts offer beautiful scenery, adventurous activities, and wildlife that the whole family will love.

After this big exertion soothe your muscles in the local hot springs. These mineral waters are praised for their healing capabilities. If you can picture yourself relaxing in the hot springs with your spouse, then maybe leave the kids at home and let Mars Hill cabins take on a cozy, candlelit, romantic atmosphere.

apps for making custom greeting cards
I often make greeting cards for family overseas, birthday, Christmas mostly, but others as well. They like my photos I take.
so far I have used photoshop elements, are there any other mac apps that can create greeting cards that look like they came from the store with my own photos on them, I like making nice lettering on them as well, that I can customize. |

Hallmark for Mac is the best that I've found. Easy to use with your own design from the included images or from their designs where you can edit most of the type.

Pages, part of the iWork package has a number of templates. I took one and modified it for my own photographs, and my name on the back. Then saved that as a template. Now I just drag and drop my own photos into my own template and print away. You can print onto a full size piece of paper ( 8 1/2 by 11 inches in North America) and then score and fold for big sized card, or you can buy pre-scored card paper in various sizes. I have templates for, iiirc, 3 card sizes now. Save time and put the card size as part of the template name.

Why do you send e-cards?
Hi, I'm a student doing some market research on greetings card. My research is independent of any of the card companies. I'm interested to know what you think - tell me:
*Why do you like to send greetings cards? What occasions do you send them for? *What do you like best about the cards you can buy? *What do you dislike the most? *Do you ever make your own cards? How do you make them? Many thanks! |

The Wide Lens
A New Strategy for Innovation
Ron Adner - Author
How can great companies do everything right - identify real customer needs, deliver excellent innovations, beat their competitors to market - and still fail? The sad truth is that many companies fail because they focus too intensely on their own innovations, and then neglect the innovation ecosystems on which their success depends. In our increasingly interdependent world, winning requires more than just delivering on your own promises. It means ensuring that a host of partners -some visible, some hidden- deliver on their promises, too. In The Wide Lens, innovation expert Ron Adner draws on over a decade of research and field testing to take you on far ranging journeys from Kenya to California, from transport to telecommunications, to reveal the hidden structure of success in a world of interdependence. A riveting study that offers a new perspective on triumphs like Amazon's e-book strategy and Apple's path to market dominance; monumental failures like Michelin with run-flat tires and Pfizer with inhalable insulin; and still unresolved issues like electric cars and electronic health records, The Wide Lens offers a powerful new set of frameworks and tools that will multiply your odds of innovation success. The Wide Lens will change the way you see, the way you think - and the way you win. -Jim Collins, author Good to Great, co-author Great by Choice "This is a path-breaking perspective on innovation. Adner's tools guide you to ask the right questions to protect you from making mistakes that condemn so many innovations to failure." -Clayton M. Christensen, Kim B. Clark Professor, Harvard Business School, author of The Innovator's Dilemma "The Wide Lens will change the way you think about innovation. Adner shows why and how you must adapt your approach to innovation in today's interdependent world. This is highly useful reading for anyone whose success depends on collaboration." -John Donahoe, President and CEO, eBay, former CEO, Bain & Company "The Wide Lens is an important new book on innovation. Ron correctly identifies the important challenge of recognizing market ecosystem and competitive strategies. His framework for innovation is contemporary, teachable and practical. Growth is today's big challenge. The Wide Lens will help big and small companies grow faster." -Jeffrey R. Immelt, Chairman and CEO, General Electric Corporation "Engaging, insightful, and immensely practical. Success in today's economy requires mastery of your innovation ecosystems, and The Wide Lens is the definitive guidebook to this new landscape. Adner's innovative tools and insights will make your strategy more robust and your organization more effective." -Kevin Sharer, Chairman and CEO, Amgen "'What is the big picture?' This is a question that haunts every business strategist --- reflecting the fear that our analysis of the landscape has missed the larger threats or opportunities in front of us. Based on years of research and teaching, The Wide Lens gives a brilliant answer. Ron Adner describes the landscape of innovation in the most complete terms ever achieved. The arrival of this book is a major event for leaders everywhere." -Adam Brandenburger, J.P. Valles Professor, NYU Stern School of Business, co-author of Co-opetition "As Ron Adner makes crystal clear, when it comes to proliferating a successful innovation, "it takes a village!" And if you do not think about the needs of your co-innovators, or the chain of adopters that helps it get all the way into the hands of your end users, you are likely to find yourself stranded on the wrong side of a chasm, looking longingly at the customers that could have been yours." -Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm, and Escape Velocity |

Full description for Meatball Sundae
?Gotta get me some of that New Marketing. Bring me blogs, e-mail, YouTube videos, MySpace pages, Google AdWords . . . I don't care, as long as it's shiny and new.? Wait. According to bestselling author Seth Godin, all these tactics are like the toppings at an ice cream parlor. If you start with ice cream, adding cherries and hot fudge and whipped cream will make it taste great. But if you start with a bowl of meatballs . . . yuck! As traditional marketing fades away, the new tools seem irresistible. But they don't work as well for boring brands (?meatballs?) that might still be profitable but don't attract word of mouth, such as Cheerios, Ford trucks, Barbie dolls, or Budweiser. When Anheuser-Busch spends $40 million on an online network called BudTV, that's a meatball sundae. It leads to no new Bud drinkers, just a bad case of indigestion. "Meatball Sundae" is the definitive guide to the fourteen trends no marketer can afford to ignore. It explains what to do about the increasing power of stories, not facts; about shorter and shorter attention spans; and about the new math that says five thousand people who want to hear your message are more valuable than five million who don?t. The winners aren't just annoying start-ups run by three teenagers who never had a real job. You?ll also meet older companies that have adapted brilliantly, such as Blendtec, a thirty-year-old blender maker. It now produces ?Will it blend videos that demolish golf balls, Coke cans, iPhones, and much more. For a few hundred dollars, Blendtec reached more than ten million eager viewers on YouTube. Godin doesn't pretend that it's easy to get your products, marketing messages, and internal systems in sync. But he?ll convince you that it's worth the effort.

Yes, same dev! The pro version has more features that the App Store just wouldn't allow.
It's not an app. It's a tweak.I downloaded and did respring but
then found more than half of my apps
were missing. I removed the new battery
app and did a complete shutdown and
restart to recover all that was removed or
hidden. I suggest extreme caution when
considering installing this new app as I am
Jailbroken iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.2.
This is a bug. Not a killer, just a pain.
before i installed this tweak, the battery was the last one to the right of the statusbar, now it's on the left side of all the right corner status bar icons. how do i readjust the positioning of the battery?
Pics please?
if you read the previous post, u will know that the dev is working on the issue
This can be so good it just needs a little refining by the dev. I have bolt on my phone for the time being but as soon as he gets the charge indicator in there i'll switch over permanently.
I'm sure he's gonna have it to all our likings soon enough I'm loving already. But yes charging needs something.
there is a bolt mod made by bushe it gives u the lightning indicator when charging just FYI guys
i'll just have to check this out as well
edit: cannot seem to find it. How would you search by a dev?
Could you please tell us where can we find it?
bushe's Repository - MyRepoSpace.com
U need both programs live batter indicator and bolt from cydia
AWESOME!!! I wonder who made this workaround!?!? I think I'm gonna add it to my repo, as well!bushe's Repository - MyRepoSpace.com
U need both programs live batter indicator and bolt from cydia
There is a tweak that uses the Siri engine called speakevents that I use this tweak will do thisthis might be slightly off topic but does anyone know of a tweak in ios 6 that makes a sound when the battery has reached 100%, while charging?
there was one in ios 5 called 'SpringClean' but it isnt compatible with ios 6 anymore.
neither Live Battery Indicator nor Bolt has this feature.
to finish it off, it cud have custom low battery notifications like at 5% or 2%

Thoughtful Interaction Design
The authors of Thoughtful Interaction Design go beyond the usual technical concerns of usability and usefulness to consider interaction design from a design perspective. The shaping of digital artifacts is a design process that influences the form and functions of workplaces, schools, communication, and culture; the successful interaction designer must use both ethical and aesthetic judgment to create designs that are appropriate to a given environment. This book is not a how-to manual, but a collection of tools for thought about interaction design.
Working with information technology—called by the authors "the material without qualities"—interaction designers create not a static object but a dynamic pattern of interactivity. The design vision is closely linked to context and not simply focused on the technology. The authors' action-oriented and context-dependent design theory, drawing on design theorist Donald Schön's concept of the reflective practitioner, helps designers deal with complex design challenges created by new technology and new knowledge. Their approach, based on a foundation of thoughtfulness that acknowledges the designer's responsibility not only for the functional qualities of the design product but for the ethical and aesthetic qualities as well, fills the need for a theory of interaction design that can increase and nurture design knowledge. From this perspective they address the fundamental question of what kind of knowledge an aspiring designer needs, discussing the process of design, the designer, design methods and techniques, the design product and its qualities, and conditions for interaction design.
About the Authors
Jonas Löwgren is Professor of Interaction Design at Malmö University, Sweden.
Erik Stolterman is Professor of Informatics and Department Chair in the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University Bloomington.
"This is a fantastic book, one that reminds us that academic theories and design practice need not be artificially separated, as they are in many universities today. And it is refreshing to see someone really defining the digital design process and its related conceptual tools. Until now, digital design has mostly involved engineers borrowing feebly from the designer's toolbox, and then adding in a bit of human dimension research for good measure. Here, L

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
- i actually traded a girl on coscom my BBJ cosplay for this, and remade it nearly entirely because wow the commissioner she got it from should be shot, it was just so poorly made.
the heels i've had for years, they're a bit too big so i basically only put them on for pictures. the tights were hand painted with puffy paint (white first, then purple). i added white ruffles to the skirt and added a waistband (how they managed to make a pleated skirt with no waistband is amazing). the black undershirt was so tight it was practically a binder, so i chopped off the sleeves and collar and frankestein'd them to a comfy black shirt! the collar isn't attached to anything, but closes with hook and eyes. i remade the whole white top from a big white button-up. purple collar from the original was added, i used an invisible zipper instead of buttons, and added the bias tape and arm diamonds. all the bows are just purple joann's ribbon. - Personal Thoughts:
- i never ever planned on being homu since i had my heart set on madoka, but there was always a lingering "if i ever DID, i'd do moemura". plus she fits my weenie personality!

Full review
Ever the pioneer, Fujifilm has come up with another variant of its Super CCD sensor design. This brand new EXR sensor promises improved resolution, better high-ISO quality and increased dynamic range. But does it work, and is the £290 FinePix F200EXR the best camera to showcase it?
Fujifilm's claims about its EXR sensor aren't just idle boasts. The high resolution is obtained when the 12-megapixel sensor is used in its standard mode. Other cameras have 12-megapixel sensors, of course, but this one's particularly large, measuring 1/1.6 inches across the diagonal, which makes it about twice the area of a standard 1/2.3-inch sensor. This alone should make a difference.
It's the EXR sensor's two extra operating modes that are crucial, though. In high-ISO mode it uses 'pixel binning' to combine adjacent pixel values to produce 6-megapixel files of higher quality than could be obtained normally. Other makers use pixel binning too, but Fujifilm's rearranged the layout of the red, green and blue pixels on the sensor so that it avoids the unwanted colour artefacts usually produced.
In the high-dynamic-range mode, meanwhile, the EXR sensor uses two sets of 6 million pixels again, but differently. This time it combines two separate exposures (actually captured simultaneously) to produce images with a much higher dynamic range. In other words you shouldn't get those inky black shadows and bleached-out skies.
So does all this fancy technology work? You bet. In normal, non-EXR mode this camera gives the sharpest, finest detail you're going to get from any compact -- and a few digital SLRs. In the high-ISO EXR mode, the definition, noise levels and overall quality set new standards for compact cameras. And the high-dynamic-range EXR mode is excellent. Shadow detail is lightened and the sensor holds onto even the most extreme highlight detail, rendering it with a wonderful subtlety instead of just bleaching it out.
Okay, so the EXR modes produce only 6-megapixel images, but, unless you routinely print A3-sized photos, you're not going to see any practical difference anyway.
The camera body's not bad either. The F200EXR is solid, chunky and stylish. It starts up fast, the autofocus is good and it zooms quickly. There's some serious barrel distortion at the wideangle end of the zoom range, and some colour fringing here and there near the edges, but otherwise the 5x zoom deliver high levels of sharpness which don't drop off much near the long end of the zoom range, either.
The controls are confusing, though. It could take you a long time to figure out that the F200EXR uses Fujifilm's existing dynamic range enhancement alongside the new EXR mode. Similarly, you don't need to be in the EXR mode to shoot at high ISOs -- the EXR mode simply offers improved quality. Also, too many options are dependent on others -- you can't use extended dynamic range when shooting in the 'velvia' film-simulation mode, for example.
Fujifilm's always banged on about how overall picture quality is more important than megapixels, but its cameras haven't always driven the point home. The FinePix F200EXR is different. It's a decent camera in its own right, but the new EXR sensor is the real star of the show and really does deliver image quality that its rivals can't.

FRM plans to invest between $700 million and $1 billion, with an average allocation of around $50 million to each manager.
Fund of hedge funds giant Financial Risk Management launched its seeding platform, FRM Capital Advisors (FCA), in 2007. The business is led from London by CEO Clive Peggram and COO Patric de Gentile-Williams. The firm has made five seedings to date. It invests globally and does not have a strategy focus, but will avoid being overweight a particular strategy type. FCA plans to invest between $700 million and $1 billion, with an average allocation of around $50 million to each manager. The seeder made its first investment in August 2008, when it committed $60 million to Chicago asset-based-lending manager Victory Park Capital. Subsequent deals have been made with loan fund Beechbrook Capital, volatility-arbitrage firm JD Capital Management, credit shop WestSpring Advisors and, most recently, Asian equity manager Isometric Capital Management.

Looking forward to talking Dolphins with all of you !
In the third and perhaps the most crucial preseason game the Miami Dolphins will host the Atlanta Falcons at Sun Life Stadium. Both teams enter Friday's contest with identical 0-2 records however their weaknesses thus far are complete opposites. The Falcons first team looks to be in peak mid-season form and are establishing a reputation that their starters are amongst the best in the league. Unfortunately for Atlanta their backups have struggled mightily and have allowed opponents to mount a comeback in the second half.
On the other end of the field it's the Dolphins starters who have been mediocre to say the least while their second, third and fourth team units have kept games relatively close. As the Miami offence stuggled to put up points, the defence was on their heels seemingly unable to force a punt or turnover.
Last Friday against the Carolina Panthers, Ryan Tannehill started for the first time in his young NFL career finishing 11 of 23 for 100 yards including an impressive 67 yard drive capped by a Daniel Thomas touchdown run. Although these aren't exactly stellar numbers from the rookie quarterback, it was more than enough to win the starting job from incumbent Matt Moore. It's worth monitoring how Tannehill performs in two days time seeing as it will likely be his last game action before taking on the Houston Texans in week 1 of the regular season.
One of the main issues for the Dolphins in the matchup against Carolina was the play of the offensive line, specifically the right side where rookie Jonathan Martin was getting beat for most of the night. Once Jake Long and second year centre Mike Pouncey exited the game, the offensive line gave Tannehill very little time to operate resulting in three quarterback sacks. Martin still has a lot of work to do if he plans to be a starter this season however he has showed signs of improvement this week in practice.
Another concern for Miami is the wide reciever core which lacks a bonafide No. 1 option. Sitting a top the depth chart, Legedu Naanee and Davone Bess will get the start and are in tough against a talented Falcons secondary. In the first two games Naanee has been virtually invisible but has earned a spot on the first team thanks to strong showings in practice. Naanee will be one to watch as his performance under the lights will be key for the coaching staff in determining his role on the opening day roster.
Switching focus to the defense, it was surprising how little pressure the Dolphins pass rushers generated on the Panthers. Cam Newton completed over 70% of his passes and averaged over 10 yards per attempt. The lack of pressure isn't a concern yet, Miami did play without the likes of Cameron Wake, Kevin Burnett and Karlos Dansby. Expect the pass rush to improve significantly with Wake and Burnett making a return to the lineup while Dansby remains doubtful.
This is by far Miami's toughest test of the preseason as the Dolphins starters will be challenged on both sides of the ball. Although preseason games have absolutely no impact on the regular season a win at home against the Falcons would instill confidence into the players going forward and provide the fan base with glimmer of hope. In order for Joe Philbin to win his first game as an NFL head coach, the starters will need to perform to their abilty.
After watching the third episode of HBO Hard Knocks, it is evident that the Miami Dolphins players are ready for whatever is coming. Whether it be the Houston Texans on September 9th, the ups and downs of a rookie season for QB Ryan Tannehill, and the media's swarm over the team as Coach Philbin aims to right the ship that has been almost a decade of being dominated by AFC foes New England and the Jets.
First, the Dolphins players demonstrated resiliency in their preseason game by picking up the slack as the game wore on. In the first quarter, Ryan Tannehill appeared battered and bruised by an offensive line that could not stop the Carolina Panthers pass rush. However, early in the second quarter, something clicked out of the shotgun and Tannehill led a 15 play drive where he completed 5 passes in a row leading to a 1 yard counter play by Daniel Thomas. This drive was pivotal and even though the Dolphins were down, Tannehill's leadership emerged and the players shrugged off the negativity of having one less player in Chad Johnson.
Next, if the Dolphins are going to be competitive, everything starts from that moment of the first scoring drive in Carolina to the moments when Tannehill was named the starter. It is quite clear that Ryan Tannehill has the support of his coaches and players including Matt Moore. Moore will play a crucial role in the development of Ryan Tannehill. Confidence oozes from this kid more than any other rookie the Dolphins have brought in this position. It will be important to give the kid everything and see what he can do. It starts in Houston facing one of the toughest defenses and venues to play.
Lastly, the Dolphins for years have made changes to coaches to get over the hump in the division. Coaches such as Saban and Sparano with Parcells leading the charge appeared to be a quick fix winning a division or regaining respecatability with the Saban hire even though no playoff appearance occured. The Dolphins have to let this play out even if as a fan we can't live with Coach Philbin's meticulousness or his way of doing things. One thing is for sure, the Dolphins have charged Coach Joe Philbin of doing things the right way and that right way is creating a culture that fosters intelligence, accountability, and integrity. In some cases, some media members might scoff at the idea that players refer to the coach as a teacher, but if everything has not worked until this point, then why not give this team a chance to eventually be good or even great.
Of course, it will take time and we as Dolfans will be suffering for awhile, but when that day does come to hoist that Lombardi Trophy, all of these growing pains will have been worth the wait!
It's Tuesday night and time to turn your televisions back to your favorite program of the offseason, HBO's Hard Knocks. The third episode of the program had a little less drama surrounding it as Ryan Tannehill had already been named the Dolphins starter earlier in the week and the Chad Johnson drama has come to an end ( thank the lord) .
Despite now groundbreaking news that appeals to the national media, Hard Knocks did share some interesting tidbits for Dolphins fans.
- The leadership council of Reggie Bush, Jake Long and Karlos Dansby is formed, while this isn't the nation of domination from the old days of the WWE, after the players were asking to
find out more about the Chad situation from the coaches and Ireland, Philbin thought it was best that a leadership group was formed. Long and Bush both look like very suitable leaders, who are driven and determined to steer this team in the right direction.
- Reggie Bush is far from a diva Hollywood big name, the dude brings it every day, works hard and is a true professional
- Michael Egnew is still seriously struggling as we saw tight end coach Dan Campbell blast him again, I seriously question him as a 3rd round draft pick
- Vontae Davis is slowly starting to pick up his game, the beginnings of seeing flashes of his potential showed.
- The coaching staff likes what they see in Pat Devlin; even a Tony Romo comparison was made. Given Garrard's injury, I would not be shocked if the Dolphins kept the cheaper Devlin on the
roster over Garrard.
- Coach Philbin also did take a hit at the local media, which has annoyed a few media members out there already.
- The end of the episode showed QB coach Zac Taylor informing Tannehill he will be named the starter, by the look from Matt Moore he saw it coming all the way. Taylor then told Moore "I
look at you as the best backup QB in the league ". Despite the tough news Matt Moore was a class act and a true pro taking the news.
- Richie Incognito's advice for Tannehill when he got named the starter: "Don't fuck it up!"
That's it for this week's Hard Knocks, should be more entertaining and interesting Dolphins news and story lines to follow next week.
In his first five NFL seasons Reggie Bush showed little of the success he had as a college back and looked poised to become yet another bust, until a change of scenery rejuvinated his career.
Coming out of college the former USC Trojan generated a lot of excitement throughout the league, leading many to believe that Bush would be selected 1st overall by the Houston Texans in the 2006 NFL Draft. As it turns out the Texans made the right decision, passing on Bush and opting to draft defensive end Mario Williams who has tallied 53 sacks in a mere six seasons. However Bush didn't wait long to hear his name called, the New Orleans Saints made him the No. 2 overall pick. Once considered an elite featured back, Bush did not live up to expectations in the black and gold in large part due to the fact that he couldn't remain healthy for a full 16 game schedule.
This all changed once the Miami Dolphins took a chance of him. After losing their long time running back duo of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams in free agency, the Dolphins needed someone to fill the void and were intrigued by Bush's overall skill set not only on the ground but also in the passing game. In his first year in South Beach, Bush competed with Daniel Thomas for the starting role. Although the Dolphins coveted Thomas, trading up to the second round to draft him out of Kansas State, Bush easily won the job.
The future is now in Miami! August 20th at 3:01 pm the Miami Dolphins quarterback competition came to an end as the Dolphins announced that Ryan Tannehill will be named the starting QB going into the season.
As PBP's Ben Volin noted, number 17 Tannehill will be the 17th starting QB for the Dolphins since Dan Marino.
The rookie was able to impress in camp having solid practices and strong outing in his first preseason game followed up with an alright performance in Carolina. Moore didn't really take advantage of the situation as despite being the team's MVP last season clearly lacks the upside and talent of Tannehill.
When David Garrard went down with his injury, this announcement seemed a bit inventible, and like most predicted the Dolphins chose to go with the kid.
CBS's Pete Prisco has said over and over "Play the kid ", Prisco also said on his twitter account, "If a young first-round QB can't start because a team is worried about psyche, they drafted the wrong guy. "
Tannehill isn't in the ideal situation due to his lack of weapons and now questions surrounding the offensive line. With that being said, Tannehill has looked like the quarterback that gives Miami the best chance at winning this season.
Tannehill had a head start from most rookies out of the gates as he had a good grasp of the playbook having already worked with the offense and Mike Sherman in college.
While it is exciting that Tannehill is being given the keys, my biggest concern with this decision is not based on Tannehill's skills or comprehension of the offense but rather the tools and weapons he has around him.
Time will tell on how the Ryan Tannehill era goes but let's hope for the best! Phins up!
Dating back to last season and a 6-10 finish, optimism reigned true with coaching search and plethora of coaching candidates that interviewed for the head coaching job in Miami. As Joe Philbin was hired, many fans praised the hiring of an offensive football coach by Ireland in that the Dolphins were going to undergo a culture change for the better. With Philbin being labeled as the mastermind of the Green Bay Packers Offense, Dolphins fans fantasized about Aaron Rogers type quarterbacks ready to lead the team since Dan Marino. Outside of the organization, bloggers and beat reporters grew excited about the Dolphins offense changing to put points on the board run a multitude of quick plays and compete with the likes of AFC foes New England and the New York Jets.
However after three weeks of training camp and two preseason games later, the Miami Dolphins look like the same team from 2011 providing a lack-luster effort up and down the roster. More and more the Dolphins look and seem like the 2007 Dolphins who finished 1-15 under a coach who shall remain nameless. Of course I may be wrong, but here is why I feel that the Dolphins are headed for disaster:
First, the Miami Dolphins are not finishing drives in the pre season. The offense has accounted for a total of 7 first half points, countless three and outs and drops galore on offense. Sure the Miami Dolphins have a shiny new ferari at quarterback in Ryan Tannehill, but his numbers reflect positively only because Tannehill has yet to throw an interception or cause a turnover and has thrown for more yardage than other rostered QBs and two scores. However, Tannehill fails to step up in the pocket when trying to avert a rush and has not completed passes on 3rd downs to sustain drives early in a game. The running game looks non-existent and scared to hit the hole on a 3rd and short. A paltry 2.9 yards per carry on Friday is akin to the Miami Dolphins season in 2004 without Ricky Williams.
Next, the defense's effort is not showing up on gameday. Regardless of the injuries to Wake, Dansby, Burnett, and McDaniel, the defense missed tackles left and right in the first quarter of the Carolina Panthers game. In fact, even though the reserves were in there, the zone defense they played got flat-out carved up by second year quarterback Cam Newton finding his tight ends over the middle. Opposing offenses have been able to attack the middle on this defense no matter who has been playing out there dating back to last season. New coach Kevin Coyle has to tighten things up and evaluate and decide on the best 11 for this defense. Many are starting to doubt that this defense was better when run by Coach Nolan last season. The physical nature of the defense is just not there.
Lastly, there is no "I" in team. It is apparent that certain players such as Chad Johnson, who has been released for good reasons and Vontae Davis are making each battle in a game about themselves. I don't understand the battle between Steve Smith and Davis and how that was good for comradery of the team defensively in the long run. Davis has been shown pouting about the heat and challenging the coaches on his conditioning while on Hard Knocks, but this latest demonstration of immaturity reeks Vernon Davis, his older brother. Perhaps Vontae Davis will repeat this performance and then actually be kicked out to the locker room during a game by Joe Philbin.
Frankly, from the outside, the Dolphins after two games this preseason look like a mess. Joe Philbin has his hands full of a myriad of issues: Players are not executing the systems in place, coaches are not reaching the players and gaining their trust, and the media is hovering over Davie and starting to doubt this first year coach.
Maybe Ross and Ireland had all of this wrong when he hired Philbin or maybe the Dolphins are just as broken as they are and cannot be fixed.

All Blues All Gold in WPL Final |
Clubs - Women's Clubs | |
If you were looking for a brutal Women's Premier League final, then you got it out of the Berkeley v Twin Cities championship match. Hits galore and scrappy play typified play, but the All Blues created more opportunities for the 17-8 win. "I anticipated that it was going to be very close no matter what the predictions were saying," Berkeley coach Kathy Flores said. "I figured it was going to go either way and it was going to be by a try." "Their experience won out today," Amazons coach Roger Bruggemeyer said. "They have a phenomenal backline that made a couple of breaks that really burned us. But our team didn't fold. If you count the line breaks, I bet we had more, but we just don't know how to finish. Our team played hard, but their team played a little bit harder." The Amazons started with a lot of possession. Nice hard breaks from championship MVP Amanda Kingzett and Eagle lock Stacey Bridges, coupled with linebreaks from centers Sylvia Braaten and Lynelle Kugler put the team on the front foot. The Amazon centers were the crux of the backline attack, and they were able to break through several times. But the Berkeley staff knew they might have an advantage on the wings, and it's also why Ruth Bryson and her expert foot started at flyhalf and Ashley English, with her stellar defense, moved back to fullback. The first score was a debilitating one for Twin Cities. The Zons were deep in Berkeley's end, but a knock-on in the tackle awarded a scrum to the All Blues. Instead of kicking for territory, the ball moved to inside center Lucy Croy, who did well to find seams between defenders, charged upfield and just as she was reigned in, passed to wing Vix Folayan. The Eagle burned down the sideline, fending her opposite and out-pacing fullback Ashley Mulford for a long try. Ruth Bryson hit the conversion for the 7-0 lead. Many of Berkeley's opportunities came from turnovers, and the All Blues were able to turn those into quick breaks. "We never really got anything clean," Flores said. "We'd turn something over and make something out of it quickly. Griffin broke through a couple of times and sometimes we got support there for the breakaway. We never got anything from a set piece – not that I thought we ever could." Mulford had her revenge for the next score. After a couple of penalties that allowed the Zons to advance into Berkeley's end and some nice offloads in contact to keep the ball alive, flyhalf Rebecca Radtke took the ball weakside off a quick ruck. Mulford got the pass then dragged Bryson about 10 meters laterally before diving over the tryline in the corner, 7-5. There the half ended. "We talked at half and they were tired," Flores said of her players. "The Amazons are big girls and kept coming at them. We're small girls and we started laying back and got tired a little bit. The Amazons came on hard." Some key subs in prop Margaret Sharp and inside center Jill Whitfield helped with the workrate around the field. Flores instructed her team that they weren't following the game plan. The team had talked about running more vertically even if that meant running under lines, but the players will still running sideways. First- and second-phase defense, especially after the Amazons' centers broke through, were not up to par either. "Nothing went absolutely right for us today, but we were still able to pull something out," Flores said. "We played good catch-up defense, and we were able to reorganize and catch them in the back field. Not the best position to be in most of the time, but then they were alone and that's often how we were able to get the ball back. If we had a better front line defense and run those lines, then it would have been a sure win for us." Berkeley got their next score from a fortuitous knockon on an Amazon break out wide. From the scrum, scrumhalf Jossy Tseng rushed a well-staffed defense, then made an amazing offload to outside center Kelly Griffin coming on at pace. She fended wing Dez Markovich and Mulford for the try. Bryson made the conversion, 14-5. With 15 minutes left, the Amazons made good on a series of penalties in Berkeley's end, and Markovich pulled her side to within six points, 14-8. The Amazons responded with some nice forward phases, lots of picks-and-goes and forward punches. They'd inch their way into the 22 meter only to have a Bryson boot or Folayan kick ahead push them back to the 50 meter. The nail in the coffin came with about 10 minutes remaining, when Bryson slotted a dropgoal from about 20 meters out, 17-8. "We wanted to play expansive rugby, but if your team isn't playing expansive rugby, then you take whatever you can get," Flores said. Flores commended the work of scrumhalf Tseng for organizing what was happening on the field and front row Kate Augustyn for doing all of the dirty work in the breakdowns and slowing down Amazon quick ball. For Bruggemeyer and his team, he's nothing but happy for their accomplishments this season. "They got better every game," Bruggemeyer said. "We set goals and standards before season, and all I asked is that they get better and stronger every game all the way to the end and they did that. "They're disappointed but they played hard and didn't get blown out it," Bruggemeyer continued. "It was the highest finish the team's ever had. This is the kind of loss where they want to go right back at it. If they had done one or two things different in their heads, they could have won the game. That kind of loss doesn't eat at you; it makes you want to work harder." A great finale to another memorable season, and the All Blues have a year to enjoy their first WPL title. |
