Why Religious Vikings Fans Should Understand Cheering for Losses
I am one of the most passionate and emotional Vikings fan around. Seriously, they consume my life. Ask anyone I know. I always want what is best for them. Which is why I get so confused when I see people wanting them to win these games that do nothing but hurt us. When its May and we are walking up to the podium with our draft pick, I want desperately for it to be a potential franchise changing QB. Yes we need defense, but look at what Andrew Luck and RG3 did for their respective teams. Two of the worst teams in the league completely turned around because QB play that inspired the entire team.
But 12purplepride28, the draft is a complete crap-shoot! Just enjoy the season and let the draft pieces fall where they may! I understand that the draft is anything but certain but are you saying that Andrew Luck had as much chance to be successful as any 7th round QB? There is a much higher chance of success at the top of the draft than lower, not to mention the huge potential of trading down a couple spots. Imagine drafting Clowney or Nix at 3 and still having an extra 1st from Cleveland or a 2nd and a couple 3rds from Jax. Or we could have a couple meaningless wins at the end of a season that has us already eliminated from the playoffs. Ill take my chances at the top of the draft.
Why do I say that religious people should understand this? Growing up a Christian, any time I asked why bad things happen, I would hear that God has a plan for everything and we have to trust that the pain we go through now is for our good in the long run or some variation of that. Basically things that seem bad at the time can actually benefit us in the long run and conversely, things that seem bad now can actually hurt us in the long run. Whether you agree with that in a religious sense is irrelevant as no one can really tell the future. But applying it to our situation is completely reasonable. Yes it seems good for us to win the game because we all love the Vikings but what good does it really do us? Absolutely nothing.
Yes it seems wrong to cheer for a loss and Im always conflicted between cheering for a loss and cheering for amazing plays from AP, CP84, Rudolph, Jennings, etc. We all want a super bowl, and I believe that picking higher in the draft helps us accomplish that faster.I am NOT here to provide good football insight or rational observations. I am an emotional 19 year old Viking fan and I expect you to adjust your expectations from my posts.
Losing brings out the worst in people's attitudes. Winning instills hope. This is true due to the fact that football players are competitive. If they aren't winning they are dying inside.
Take the Jags. They are a young team, they are building. They had one win 4 weeks ago, now they have 4 wins. They are building momentum.
If I was going to try to relate this to religion, I would say that we don't get to chose whether our team wins or loses. The creator is in control. Always take away positives and enjoy what you are allowed to experience. You can take something positive away from every experience whether or not it is the experience you wanted.
12p28, sorry I can't agree with your post. It's against everything I believe in to cheer for a loss. I don't care about the ramifications. Plenty of teams in the league can compete without tanking it for a draft spot. Given a good front office and good coaching we can compete to, but we don't have those things. Thinking a single pick can turn this wreck around is dubious at best.
Nah, I'm not buying into the losing mentality. If you're rooting for your football team to lose, you need to reassess your fandom... quick.
These guys are busting their ass out their for the purple and gold. I'll be damned if I'm gonna root for these guys to lose. If you do, you should be ashamed of yourself.Disclaimer: I'm an idiot.
I see it as more of a win/win...IF we win, great, always fun to see them win!
IF we lose, fine, we could certainly use a top five pick in April!!
SKOL VIKINGS!!Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!
"Balance it on end and thats the third side of the coin!!" -wookiefoot
A lot of our guys have performance based contracts. They get paid for playing well and winning games. I don't know of a single contract that pays them for playing for draft picks. If they get pulled from games keeping them from making money in order to lose games it would be really hard to sign any good players here. They will play to win every game they can and we might as well cheer them on because we are fans of the game not the draft lottery. This isn't fantasy football its the real thing. We are going to get a good first round pick this year regardless of how the rest of the season goes. The draft is a crap shoot. We got a great pick on Sharif last year did he make us the #1 defense in the NFL? No he just made us a little better is all. Will a rookie QB make us a super bowl contender next year? No!
Root for our team to win and let the draft picks take care of itself. No one knows at this point what may fall to us in the draft next year. Personally I think Free Agency is where teams are really built. Most rookie QBs don't even play for 3 or 4 years. Not to mention if you don't have a line to protect them they don't even survive.
Go Vikings..... If nothing else be a spoiler this year. I can cheer for that.
I don't condone losing, but I think the Vikings' difficult last 4 games will take care of the situation. I think that 3-12-1 is a definite possibility, and that a change in coaching staff is likely if not imminent. I wish I could be more positive, but...

One of the things I admire most about director Miguel Arteta's films (including Chuck & Buck and The Good Girl) is that he shows such compassion for his characters. That's why I was thrown off by Cedar Rapids, at first. The screenplay, by newcomer Phil Johnston, seems to be making fun of its naïve, almost childlike small-town hero, Tim Lippe, a dedicated insurance salesman played by Ed Helms.
But as the film goes on the tone subtly changes, and the somewhat buffoon-ish character becomes more genuine and likable, along with the people around him. Helms, who's been an MVP in a number of films and television series, from The Office to The Hangover, shows more—
—colors here than we've seen before in his sincere performance as Wisconsin's Tim Lippe.
The story involves Lippe being sent to an insurance agents' convention in Iowa, where he is charged with making a presentation and bringing back an important industry award. Instead, he experiences an accelerated coming-of-age over the course of one party-hearty weekend, as his values—and especially, his integrity—are put to the test.
A fine supporting cast is led by Sigourney Weaver, as Helms' lover and former schoolteacher, John C. Reilly, as a bombastic conventioneer, Anne Heche, as a flirtatious colleague, Isiah Whitlock, Jr., as Helms' straight-arrow roommate, Kurtwood Smith, as a sanctimonious industry leader, Stephen Root, as Helms' boss, and Alia Shawkat, as a good-time girl who hangs around the convention hotel picking up tricks.
Everyone does good work here, but for Helms this is a breakout role, and he delivers. Cedar Rapids is a modest but disarming comedy that will leave a smile on your face.

Some Clarification is in Order - 2012 Off-Season Stats: Broncos Play Calling Part 3. We break down the formations the Broncos used and how often Tebow threw in each direction.
These just crack me up in so many ways...may personal favorite is the last one...read it with a little Ben Stein voice to really grasp the full effect. XD
Some Clarification is in Order: Orton, Tebow, or Both? We take a look at Orton and Tebow both being on the field during games to see if it was more effective than just one or the other.

Heres an article to read on another slow Bronco's day
Part of the quote "I don't think there's a huge gap. I think that they're close, and the fact that Tim can help us in some way, shape or form — and needs to be No. 2 to do that — really plays a factor into that as well. I think they've both continued to work extremely hard all year." Also, Orton will be dressing up as santa, so does that mean he got the old neckbeard back out?
"Don't be a crybaby" -- Bill Romanowski, criticizing Kyle Orton's comments on Courtland Finnegan and the Titans. In addition, Romanowski referred to the Broncos offense as "dink and dunk," and noted that not many Broncos are willing to go to that "dark place" necessary to play inspired defense.Mile High Sports Radio - Goodman and Kizla (The audio will likely be posted sometime today)

It's not always bad to be passive, especially when it comes to sustainable building. Passive Houses are starting to stack up worldwide and this means good things for widespread, dramatic impact on energy conservation.
You might be wondering what is a Passive House? Well, this level of sustainable building is a concept that represents today's highest energy standard with the promise of slashing the heating energy consumption of buildings by an amazing 90%!
"Passive" describes the system's underlying receptivity and retention capacity. A Passive House is a very well-insulated, a virtually air-tight building that is primarily heated by passive solar gain and by internal gains from people, electrical equipment, etc.
When architect couple Milena Karanesheva and Mischa Witzmann decided it was time for more space, they decided to give up city life and build a Passive House outside of the French capital. They settled on the small town of Bessancourt, about 17 miles northwest of Paris.
The bamboo that they decided to cover the house in, creates an avoidance of heat gain through shading and window orientation also helps to limit any cooling load, which is similarly minimized.
They incorporated double-flow ducts into the home's interior, exposing them at various points. They distribute fresh air, keeping temperatures around 66 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and 71 degrees in the summer, never going higher than 78. Perfect, right?
They kept the interiors simple and modern through contemporary seating and stylish, modern lighting.
It can't hurt to incorporate even some of the sustainable elements of a Passive House. Ironically, it would be a very determined and progressive step forward for any of us to take on....

Interior design and branding are a beautiful combination that tell visual stories and create a mood. This Finnish, modern restaurant design, Sis Deli + Cafe does so with bold black and white interior design and packaging. Although this isn't a new restaurant, this sibling design team Muotohiomo, did such an amazing job that it stills seems as fresh today as it did when it opened in 2009.
These black gingham bags make a statement all on their own, but when mixed with the white subway tiles and the black and white menu board you've got a perfected balance!
The simplicity of the black counter grounds element into the space. Modern black barstools stand proudly in any interior. The design concept is a very simple look with special attention paid to every detail. Possibly, a modern black pendant light over the counter would have been a great accent and possibly the only thing missing. But then again, we love lighting!
What do you think? Light or No LIght?
Pinnacle Large Black Tech Lighting Mini Pendant Light
Even these black and white gingham cups are perfect. So perfect you wouldn't want to throw them away...
From the tile, to the packaging, to the tray, to the silverware you've got yourself a beautifully designed and branded restaurant that is sure to create a lasting impression. It's thoughtful, simple, and lasting.
And I think this says it just right, "The visual image is a kind of tripwire for the emotions." - Diane Ackerman

Spain may be teetering on the edge of the debt disaster that plagues many of its Mediterranean neighbors, but that doesn't mean the country isn't unveiling a handful of the hottest modern hotel design around. Big name international designers are creating some of the most eye-catching, ultra modern hotels the world has ever seen, proving that the best talent in the world is heading to Spain these days for more than soccer.
The gregarious lobby of the Barcelo Raval in Barcelona (below) is so packed with wow moments that it's a morass of exclamation points - oversized lamp shades, button tufted built-ins, a melange of contemporary plastic seating, and a ceiling full of white decorative pylons. Modern plastic seating is always a great way to add whimsy to any space.
But step inside and a different story unfolds. Guestrooms are tastefully sparse and elegantly austere, in contrast to the public areas. All told, designers like Jaime Hayon, Marcel Wanders for Mooi, and Vitra have put their touch on the hotel.
Moving on to Puerta America Hotel in Madrid, an architectural abomination on the outside (so much so that I refuse to include a photograph). The vivid hotel is a who's who smorgasbord of international design talent. Twelve designers contributed to the hotel, one for each floor. It's luminous, voluminous, and strikingly beautiful. Worth mentioning first are David Chipperfield's corridors (pictured at the top of this post), low-light stunners that look like they came straight from the latest Dark Knight movie.
Also of note are the floors by Zaha Hadid (above) and Norman Foster (below). Riffing off their signature contemporary styles, both designers/architects use recessed fluorescent fixtures to soften the angles throughout and give the spaces a round, synthetic glow.
The Caro Hotel in Valencia (below) brings the outdoors in. Literally. Large stone wall remnants grace the dining halls, while gothic arches and Baroque molding detailing reveal the historical elements of the building. The Caro Hotel is an organic mix of old and new, in which filtered daylight softens public spaces and staged lighting warms intimate spaces. I'm particularly struck by how the extremely simplified forms of the seating integrates seemlessly with the organic and ornate surroundings.

Don't fret that summer is ending and you'll miss the boat on these hotels... Spain is open year round for visitors. And if a European tour isn't in your immediate plans, you can always consider redecorating your living room or bedroom and add a little edge to your daily life. Just make sure to include a bottle of Tempranillo and a nice wedge of Manchego and you've got yourself your very own Spanish retreat.

If you haven't noticed, metallics are hot, especially gold with all the Olympic hype. Whether it's fashion, design, or architecture we love gold ambition.
This stunning architecture is simple, but so classy with its gold finishing touches.
Ever wonder how to translate all the beautiful gold elements you see everywhere and implement them into your own home? Modern furniture, metallic lighting and accessories is one way to start. And this wall covering (above) is brilliant, subtle yet bold.
Here's some help...

Mixing organic elements in your modern home decor is the perfect way to create a cozy space. Elements like natural wood tables or sculptural chairs work great with clean solid lines and add layers of interest. This contrasting of materials provides both depth and character to a room, making it feel like a more artful and curated space.
Arteriors Home Lakehurst Gessoed Wood Accent Table
The rustic hardwood floor and exposed ceiling beams create an environment that already has character in its soul. When modern furniture, industrial modern lamps, and accessories are layered over achitectural character, you create a very thoughtful space. The modern, but natural chaise lounge stands in the center of the space like an organic sculpture. Staple elements like these can make any space feel complete, especially with modern black sofas to ground the space.
Arteriors Home Kamaro Vintage Silver Tripod Table Lamp
Natural textures bring life to this neutral interior (above). The textured rugs and rattan pouf fill the space with a softness that the concrete and metal do not provide.
If your modern home decor is feeling a little too cold, warm it up with the use of natrual elements. It's this mixture of natural elements in modern interiors that creates a cozier, lived in feel.

Here we showcase thirty contemporary interior designs which use the colors purple and lavender to stunning effect. In the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and living room these two similar shades can offer some of the most effective styles and ambient settings imaginable.
Often popular with modern nightclub and bar designs, purple interiors are often thought of as being too overbearing to be used in the home, especially in smaller rooms, yet used sparingly and with the right lighting effects purple works very well, especially in bedrooms and bathroom furniture.
The color purple evokes many emotions and is best associated with fertility, joy, femininity, evil, death and sex, making it an ideal shade for sexy modern bedrooms.
Lavender is like the twin sister to purple, a softer, less dominating shade, which is most popular with ladies and often used in advertising to attract females.
Shades of lavender are associated with love, romance, mysticism, serenity and sirituality. An ideal color for teen girly bedrooms and soothing bathroom designs.
So check out the images below of purple and lavender bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms to gather inspiration for your upcoming interior renovation.

The Indians have signed John Axford to a 1-year, $4.5 million deal (plus incentives) to serve as the team's closer in 2014. We've already looked at Axford's production in recent years and looked at how the Tribe bullpen is shaping up (see the sidebar below for both of those articles). Today I thought I'd take a trip down Memory Lane (Nightmare Avenue?) and revisit various closers from Tribe history.
The save didn't exist as an official statistic until 1969 (when it became the first new statistic in MLB since 1920), and wasn't being even casually tracked until 1960, when sportswriter Jerome Holtzman came up with the idea. The Closer™ wasn't a thing before then either. Relief pitchers existed, but they weren't used the way they are today. When the save was retroactively applied to earlier years, only 2 seasons from before 1960 were found in which a pitcher had 25+ saves, compared to 23 pitchers with that many in 2013 alone. Top relievers averaged ~110 innings during the 1970s, whereas in 2013 no closer pitched more than 76.2 innings and the average was ~62.
It was in the late 1980s that the Closer™ was created. Prior to 1988 the Indians all-time leader in saves was Ray Narleski, who compiled a whopping 53 of them between 1954 and 1958. As I've already said, the save wasn't even a concept then, so don't be fooled by his low save total, Narleski could pitch. He was an All-Star in 1956 and 1958.
The Tribe's first Closer™ was Doug Jones who joined the team in 1986 and began being used in save situations late in 1987. He held the job until mid-1991. He recorded 129 saves with the Indians, with a 3.06 ERA (137 ERA+) in 452.1 innings. He was an All-Star in 1988, '89, and '90; his 10.6 bWAR is the best of any Indians closer, giving him a strong case as best in franchise history.

more on the indians bullpen
Submariner Steve Olin took over as closer in August of 1991. He was great in 1992, throwing 88.1 innings in 72 games, with a 2.34 ERA. He was only 26 years old that season, but during Spring Training the following year, he was one of two Indians pitcher killed in a boating accident. For the next two seasons, the Tribe had no set closer, with 4 different pitchers finishing 20+ games in 1993, and 6 different pitchers finishing 10+ games in 1994.
Jose Mesa was named closer for 1995, and he went on to have the best season ever by an Indians closer, with a 1.13 ERA (418 ERA+) and a league-leading 46 saves (still a team record). He was pretty good in 1996, but after a rocky beginning to 1997 he lost the job for a few months, before getting it back for the final weeks of the season. Shortly after that though, his time as Indians closer ended for good when he lost a 9th-inning lead in Game 7 of the World Series.
Mike Jackson took over for part of 1997, and then full time in 1998, when he was one of the best closers in baseball. He also held the job in 1999, though he was not as dominating. He left via free agency at the end of that year.
Next came Bob Wickman. The Indians traded for Wickman at the deadline in 2000. He held the job until being traded away in July of 2006, though he missed more than a year and a half due to an elbow injury and recovery from Tommy John surgery. He collected a team-record 139 saves, with a solid 3.23 ERA (138 ERA+) in 248.1 innings with the Tribe.
Danys Baez filled in while Wickman was out for the entire 2003 season. He was not especially impressive.
Joe Borowski was signed a 2-year, $8 million deal before 2007. That turned out to be the best year the Indians have had in the 2000s, but I have a hard time giving Borowski much of the credit, despite his league-leading 45 saves, because his 5.07 ERA was the worst by any pitcher in history with 40+ saves (a total of 147 seasons). He was even worse in 2008, and was released halfway through the season.
The Tribe went with a committee for the rest of the year, then signed Kerry Wood to a 2-year, $20.5 million deal, at a time when only four relievers in history has ever earned $10 million in a season before. He was mediocre in 2009 (4.25 ERA, 100 ERA+ in 55 innings), then awful in 2010 (6.30 ERA, 64 ERA+) before being traded away fro a bag of chips.
Thus began the Chris Perez era. Perez was great in 2010, then so-so in 2011 and 2012 (though he defied his mediocre peripherals to put up a solid save percentage each of those years). His held his season together with duct tape and good luck for much of 2013, but things imploded for him on August 5, when he blew a 2-run lead against Detroit by allowing 4 runs, and from that point on he allowed 16 earned runs in 18.1 innings. He was non-tendered at season's end.
Now, we get John Axford, who's been successful in the past, but had a hard time of things for much of the last two seasons. The company he's joining is not particularly storied, and it wouldn't take all that much for him to be remembered as one of the team's better closers.
We'll see what happens.

'The Wizard' Simon Whitlock survives scare at darts world championship to go through to semis
- From: AAP
- December 29, 2013
AN emotional Simon Whitlock has set his sights on a first darts world title after surviving a huge scare to reach the world championships semi-finals.
The Australian fourth seed had to overcome his mental demons to hold off fast-finishing Englishman Ian White 5-4 in their quarter-final at London's Alexandra Palace.
Leading 4-1 and coasting towards victory, Whitlock's track record of letting big leads slip looked set to continue when 21st seed White fought back to 4-4 and edged ahead in a tense final set. However the The Wizard pulled himself together when it mattered, seizing a late opportunity to move within one win of his second PDC World Championships final.
"I actually have a tear in my eye right now," Whitlock said. "I thought I'd lost that and I came up with some big darts at the end of the match.
"It means so much to me that match. I had to dig really deep and Ian played a fantastic game ... I feel a bit lucky to win that match in the end.
"I've lost so many matches like that .. I'm thrilled to get one back finally." The 44-year-old will face 16th seed Peter Wright in the semis on Monday and The Wizard admits he has a huge opportunity to become Australia's first darts world champion since Tony David in 2002. Whitlock's half of the draw was blown wide open by the shock second-round exit of 16-times world champion Phil Taylor, the man who defeated him in the 2010 final.
"It (winning a world title) would mean everything to me," said Whitlock, a darts professional since 2002.
"I've got a big chance this year. I won't be playing Phil in the final if I get there so let's see what happens." Second-seeded Dutchman Michael van Gerwen looms as Whitlock's biggest threat to the STG250,000 ($A464,000) prize, while third seed Adrian Lewis is also still alive on the other side of the draw ahead of the remaining quarter-finals.Originally published as Wizard through to world darts semis

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A proposed training track for Louisville Metro Police is on hold after the city ruled that a planned site wasn't suitable for the project.
The Louisville Metro Police Foundation was considering a 99-acre, county-owned site on the Bullitt County line in far southwestern Jefferson County, near the corner of Dixie Highway and Kentucky 44.
Metro government determined the site was in the flood plain and building a driving track and training building wasn't feasible, said Barry Denton, the foundation's executive director.
"We're already starting to look for other land in other places," Denton said. "This is something that we're going to do."
The goal remains to break ground next year, he said.
Metro Police haven't had their own driving track since 2007, when Louisville sold its track to a developer.
Since then, police officers have used parking lots at the Kentucky Exposition Center and the former Louisville Downs harness track. The state's only realistic driving track is in Richmond.
"This would give us the opportunity to have our own and to train the way we see fit in an area that's minutes from Louisville, compared to driving all the way to Richmond," Denton said.
The driving track isn't in the police budget and the department has never had a role in the foundation's proposal, said LMPD spokesman Dwight Mitchell.
The foundation will pay for the track and training building through donations and grants, Denton said.
The group doesn't have other pieces of land in mind, although potential sites must be flat and have about 25 acres for the track and training facility, Denton said.
Driving tracks are important for police departments because more officers are hurt or killed every year in vehicle crashes than by gunfire, despite what's depicted in television shows, he said.

Agent Tom Condon confirmed Sunday night that his client, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, has agreed to a two-year deal with the Jets, a signing that will be announced by the team Monday.
Tomlinson, who was released by the Chargers on Feb. 22, visited Minnesota and New York before choosing the Jets.
The future Hall of Famer will team with second-year RB Shonn Greene in the Jets' backfield, replacing Thomas Jones, who was released and later signed with the Chiefs.
Tomlinson, who turns 31 in June, has seen his skills diminish the past two seasons, though he still is considered a strong pass catcher, a solid blocker in pass protection and has a nose for the goal line, with 12 touchdowns last season and double-digit rushing scores each of his nine NFL seasons.

The women have no idea they are on the site.School officials say they called in the Coweta County Sheriff's Office to investigate the substitute teacher. They say he hasn't been allowed in a classroom since the allegations."As a dad, I don't want to say too much of what I would like to do, but you know, you have to let the authorities, hopefully have confidence in them that they will do the right thing," said parent Steve Bedrosian.School officials say substitute teachers go through background checks just like regular teachers and there were no red flags in this case.The teacher is no longer employed by the school system.

There are a handful of resorts here, none of which are likely to win best downhill resort any time soon. (Most of them struggle to muster up much more than about 200 metres of vertical.) But there's an awesome array of cross-country here - the resort of Jarvso alone has 800 kms of trails - and with guaranteed snow throughout the winter, that makes Sweden one of the best places for this type of skiing.

One man gathers what another man spills, and the Jaguars were happy to pick up WR Jason Hill off of the 49ers' scrap heap in Week 11. A third-round selection in 2007 by the Niners, Hill was oft-injured and underutilized during his three-plus seasons in Frisco. But the 6-0, 202-pound Washington State product was a pleasant surprise during his short stint in Jacksonville. He reeled in a modest 11 receptions in six games, but provided a much-needed deep threat for QB David Garrard, gaining 22.5 yards per reception A solid route runner who possesses reliable hands, Hill is scheduled to become a free agent in March — assuming, of course, that there is free agency — and we hear that he likely will be offered a contract to remain in Jacksonville. With Mike Sims-Walker, who is also a scheduled free agent, not expected to return, Hill could have a great opportunity to carve out a significant role among the Jaguars' young and unproven receiving corps.

Obituary.Hugh V. Jamieson of Dallas, Tx, former owner of the Jamieson Film Co., author of the Sensibul English Speling Dikshuneri, died May 6, 1982, after a brief illness.
Born in 1889 in Burlingame, Kan., he graduated from Baker Univ. in 1910 with a B.A. degree in Science. He started his film career that same year, borrowing $150 to buy a movie projector.
Moving to Dallas in 1916, he started the Jamieson Film Co. and latter contributed several technological innovations to film processing. In 1942, he became a member of the War Production Advisory Committee for industrial and advertizing film producers and distributors.
Jamieson retired in the mid-1960's, and published his dikshuneri in the early '70's. He was a lifelong member of the Soc. of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. He presented a paper at the 1975 SSS Conference and showed a motion picture at the 1979 SSS Conference.
Survivors include his wife, Primrose, two sons, two grandchildren and one great-grandchild. [See Bulletin.]

Abstract.Obstacles to reforming our spelling: children's opinions - those who are now learning our present spelling, literate adults, stability of present spelling and printing, costs of making the changes, objections by printers (valid or not?), librarians, teachers, employers, etc.
Reasons for making changes: economic, removal of confusion, easier to teach, illiteracy due to inability to cope with erratic, confusing spelling, possibility of accepting changes depends on how practical they are.
Corpus.Recently we interviewed children aged 6 to 12 in a Canadian city about their views on spelling. One of the questions asked whether or not spelling should be simplified. As many as 45% said "no." Already after only one year in school, this was about the level of opposition to spelling reform. Two main reasons were given by the children. First, "I have worked hard to learn how to spell, and I don't want to do it all over again." Second, "it would confuse people if there were two ways to spell everything - the old way and the new way." These are not novel arguments against spelling reform, but it is interesting to see how early in life these anti-reform motives develop.
Many people from a variety of occupations see the potential benefits of simplifying English spelling, but the majority of men and women in the English-speaking countries are not motivated to bring about the change. If members of the S.S.S. rely on their powers of persuasion to affect public opinion and bring about a democratic change in English spelling they are deluding themselves. The history of the organic growth of English spelling shows that it never has changed in that way. Occasionally some political or lexical authority has produced minor changes based on logical reasoning, but the strongest force for change in English spelling over the past 1000 years has been an economic one. For example, the h got into ghost, ghoul and ghastly because of Caxton's spelling and derivational errors when he had a monopoly of printing at Westminister. The h got out of girl, goat and geese when Caxton's monopoly was broken. Why the h stayed on in ghost, ghoul and ghastly is an interesting academic question, but the main events in the g versus gh seesaw were determined by the economic events of the time.
For the past two centuries, English spelling has been almost entirely frozen. Again this is oft economic reasons. Publishers and Printers stabilized spelling because they believed that their customers wanted words to be spelled always the same way. They were able to produce books, newspapers, magazines and so on with stabilized spellings at a more reasonable price.
But this long period of stability in English spelling is coming to an end. Everywhere we see signs of the collapse of standards of spelling in books and periodicals. Automation of typesetting and the high cost of proofreading now make it impossible to provide stable spelling at an acceptable cost. This breakdown in standards is comparable to that which occurred during the Norman occupation of England in the 11th and 12th centuries. English spelling is becoming erratic again for the same reason.
We can't afford the high price of stability.
Nevertheless, readers prefer stability, and history shows that producers of books and other printed materials strive to return to stability by improving their technology. Then customers can again have stable spelling at a reasonable price.
I believe that we are on the verge of a major change in English spelling because this economically motivated cycle is on the move once again. Therefore members of the S.S.S. should consider forming a committee whose membership would include people from the world of printing and publishing who are concerned with obtaining inexpensive stable spelling for English. Of course, in the modern world there are other considerations than those in the businesses of printing and publishing. But we cannot escape the fact that our ability to enjoy good printed materials depends on their being financially within our reach. Therefore, future changes in English orthography are bound to be once again very much dependent upon technological advances in the printing and publishing industries. The effects of any such changes on education are likely to be great. A committee of the S.S.S. such as I have proposed could include educators and members of related professions who could influence the specific details of technologically motivated changes. The committee should be international so that different parts of the English-speaking world are all served.
Spelling reform? Let's be practical! The next major change in the history of English spelling is around the corner. It's coming, as usual, for economical reasons. If we want to contribute to the coming change then we'd better be in touch with those who are going to make it happen.

Releasing Victim 2's name publicly was reckless and irresponsible
Forcing Penn State to shut down its football program gives everyone time to distance itself from the scandal and start anew.
The NCAA lowers the boom on Penn State, crippling their football program for years. Did this really need to be done?
The NCAA is moving with almost supernatural speed (for them). It seems like they ARE going to do something to Penn State. I'll still be SHOCKED if they suspend the PSU football team, but if they're not doing something fairly significant this kind of pre-release thing is a little much.

A brave 14-year-old was attacked at a school bus stop in Gary, Indiana all because she stood up to would-be thieves.
Bruised and broke, the 8th grader said instead of being afraid, she was mad because the robbers were asking for stuff she didn't have. She told FOX 32 News that she knew her dad was home and when she tried to run to him, she was punched in the face.
"They said if we don't listen to them somebody is gonna get hurt," she recalls.
And somebody did.
That 14-year-old said she was running late for school Wednesday morning and didn't think she would even make it on the bus. Seconds later, things only got worse when she stopped at the corner of 24th and Gerry and waited.
She says four adults in their twenties or thirties were waiting as well.
"There were two cars, a black one and a red one," she says. "The red one drove off after the fire truck left, but the black one stayed that's when the four people got out and asked for our electronics and our money."
That 8th grade honor student was with seven other students before anyone at the bus stop said anything. She told the would-be thieves that nobody had anything.
When she turned around to run to her house to get her father and call police, she says the two female suspects grabbed her hair and started punching her in the face. Her bottom lip still busted.
"We moved from Chicago because this same type of stuff was happening in Chicago so we moved out here," the victim's father says. "From what they described, these were grown men and women that attacked these kids at the bus stop. Not only my daughter, but they threatened every at the bus stop."
"Whoever these people is, I hope they get caught," the student's mother says. "It's more kids out here and like my husband said, it can happen to anyone."
To make sure it doesn't happen to another student, letters were sent home with each child who attends Lake Ridge Middle School. It also includes a description of the car leaving the scene of the attack: a black, 4-door Impala.
Until the thieves are caught, the superintendent of Lake Ridge is asking parents to help out on patrols.

It's not just daycares dealing with the flu outbreak. Hospitals and nursing homes are also stepping up prevention efforts.
For the past 6 weeks, Scott Blomker has been living at the Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital. Badly injured in a car accident, he's trying to heal and hoping not to get the flu again.
"Body ache, temperature, in bed for a day," Blomker said.
That was a few years ago. Now he's been vaccinated and relies on the hospital staff to keep him and others healthy. The facility is certainly ramping up prevention efforts. 92% of Madonna employees are vaccinated. For those who don't have the flu shot, they're required to wear masks.
"During this time of heightened awareness with influenza, it does help to keep the symptoms down when people who have not been vaccinated are wearing masks when they're at work," Infection Prevention Coordinator Kristi Felix said.
The visitor policy has also changed. If you're sick, stay home. If not, you're also asked to wear a mask and use hand sanitizer when you first come in the building.
Already with two deaths from the flu in Lancaster County and nearly 300 confirmed cases of influenza in the state, this is shaping up to be one of the most intense flu seasons we've seen in a decade.
"Somewhat concerned but the staff here - the people who haven't got the flu shot - wears the mask and a lot of the other people are wearing their mask just because of the flu. (So you feel safe?) Oh yea, very much so," Blomker said.
The experts say prevention is not hard. Wash your hands a lot and don't touch your mouth, nose and eyes until you do. And don't get too close to someone sneezing and coughing.

"Across Nation, Mosque Projects Meet Opposition"
Signs say things like "Mosques are Monuments to Terrorism" This, after President Obama has eased tensions with his speech in Egypt and with other actions reaching out to the Muslim world.
These protests, equating Islam to terrorism, runs against our freedom of religion traditions and our foreign policy. Tea party adherents are joining these protests. What do they all want, back to the Crusades?

No 10 rejects suggestion Cabinet Secretary's review was 'botched'
– Downing Street spokesman
Downing Street rejects the suggestion that the Cabinet Secretary's review was "botched".
This review correctly concluded that the emails in question were unreliable. The Prime Minister wanted to keep Andrew Mitchell in his job, and was very supportive of him. At the time Andrew Mitchell apologised to the police and chose not to make a complaint to the IPCC - a path which was always available to him.
The Prime Minister takes full responsibility for the way the case was handled and has said repeatedly that what matters now is that the police get to the bottom of this matter.

Manny Pacquiao's top trainer Freddie Roach got himself involved in an ugly brawl with members of Brandon Rios' coaching staff yesterday at a gym in Macao. Apparently the two camps got into it over the scheduled open workouts when Rios was delayed by interviews and wanted some extra time.
Freddie Roach wasn't having it and things degenerated from there.
Scott Christ of Bad Left Hook summarized the situ:
Team Rios was reportedly still using the gym that both fighters are working out in, they were a few minutes over (Lee Samuels of Top Rank says six or seven minutes), and Roach was demanding they get out. Rios was reportedly on the treadmill at the time, while Pacquiao had not yet arrived. The Rios team stood their ground, then things got physical, with (Alex) Ariza reportedly kicking Roach (according to Ariza himself).
Kevin Iole has a little more:
Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach asked Rios trainer Robert Garcia to end Rios' workout at 11 a.m. Macau time. Rios was scheduled to work out from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., but started late because he had done interviews. Garcia asked for a few minutes. Pacquiao was slated to work out from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Roach called Garcia "a piece of [expletive]," which prompted the escalation of the incident. Rios conditioning coach Alex Ariza, who was fired by Roach as Pacquiao's strength and conditioning coach, told Roach to "get the [expletive] out of the gym." Roach responded by saying, "Make me get out."
Ariza mocked Roach's Parkinson's disease several times. At one point, Ariza took a step forward and kicked Roach in the chest. As chaos broke out, Ariza said to Roach, "You're a [expletive] joke," and then used a gay slur.
Roach referred to Rios camp assistant Donald Leary as a "Mexican [expletive]," which prompted Leary to swing at Roach. A Venetian security guard struggled but managed to control Leary.
Stay tuned for more coverage of Pacquiao vs Rios here at Bloody Elbow.

I want to write a program to transfer data to a computer via USB or Bluetooth,
can i achieve it through the SDK now?
looks that there is no API for this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7...-communication
No Bluetooth APIs available form Mango or WP7, nor with managed code neither with Hybrid applications, you probably have to wait for the next version of Windows Phone.
Anyway, you can transfer data from your application Isolated Storage to any computer or website as this way:
- using Background File Transfers (available only in WP7.5) to upload or download files in your Isolated Storage
- using Sockets (available only in WP7.5)
- using SyncServices with your local Data and remote data.
What kind of information do you want to send to your computer?
Eduardo Ortega Bermejo
MVP - Device Application Development
You mean transferring data of a certain application or of all other applications? For transferring data from specific application you can create a small app for the pc, that can act like a server and use http or socketing... we tried both http method prior to mango and the other after mango.
