Former Bucs offensive tackle Jerry Wunsch is a regular and exclusive print contributor to PewterReport.com. Wunsch will share expert insight and opinions regarding the Bucs and the NFL based on his observations and previous playing experiences.
The former Wisconsin standout spent his first five seasons (1997-2001) as a pro with the Buccaneers before finishing his nine-year NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks (2002-05). The former second-round pick started 51 of the 113 games he played in during his NFL tenure.
Although he finished his career in Seattle, Wunsch still lives in the Tampa Bay area and is an active member of the community. He owns three different businesses, including a credit card processing company called Enablest, and heads up WunschFamilyFoundation.org.
There's really no time frame in terms of when a team or its fans should expect an offensive lineman to reach his full potential. It really comes down to a thing called old age, and it happens at a young age in the NFL from a wear and tear standpoint. It comes down to the physical part of it and how banged up you've been. I'd say it's year three or four where you should be mentally settled in, but you have to continue to improve mentally to make up for the physical part that eventually starts to go on you.
It's difficult for an offensive lineman to excel when a team changes offensive coordinators, and the Bucs have basically had three different offensive coordinators (Jon Gruden, Jeff Jagodzinski and Greg Olson) since January of 2009. That's a lot. With that type of change you can lose that rhythm of understanding. It's no different than a subject in school you're really good at. You finally grasp it and understand it, so when you're tested you're very comfortable and don't panic. Then we've all had the subjects we're not so great in, and when the exam comes you kind of freak out a little bit.
In the NFL when you're changing coordinators and going from one offensive system to the other, it takes time to digest it. As you change the people around you along the offensive line it can make your comfort level go back and forth. You have to have the confidence that you know what you're doing, but you also have to be confident that the guys playing next to you know what they're doing.
There are a lot of great athletes in the NFL. Some are better than others. A guy like Walter Jones, the coaches can tell him he's one-on-one with a defensive end, and they can just tell him, "You're one-on-one with this guy the whole game. Your only job is to block him." That's all you need him to do, but it's a very tall order to find a player that is strong and athletic enough to be able to rely on him to do that, and do it well, on every play. There are very few tackles that are able to do that. The guys that are strong enough and athletic enough to be on an island for every play in a game are what you'd call "freaks." Once you consider the majority of the tackles in the NFL you start getting into slide protections and things like that to offset the knowledge of the defensive end in terms of where people are going or how this play is going to develop. Are they going to get chipped? Is there slide protection towards me or away from me? You try to mess with the defensive end's head a little bit to help win the battle in the trenches, and how much you use those mental tactics depends on the tackle's overall athletic ability.
The importance of health for a football player, especially an offensive lineman, can't be overstated. Bad things can happen in the trenches - sometimes you're getting blocked or cut by two guys. I can't tell you how many times I played with a torn tendon in my leg, an elbow that wouldn't bend either way or even a torn labrum in my hip. That's not even counting the back injuries that were endured. Players play through those injuries because you have to.
Offensive linemen try to keep continuity. They play for one another, and the more they can play together the better they'll be as a unit. If you're able to play in 100 or so straight games, it's a little bit of luck, but it's a lot of grit and rubbing dirt on it and getting out there and playing. It also means a lot of work in the rehab room and doing whatever it takes to get out there on the field and play on game day. There were times when I couldn't even get out of bed in the morning the day of a game. I went to the stadium bright and early, maybe 5-6 hours before kickoff, just to try to get to the point where I could play on Sunday. There's a lot that goes into it.
On the surface one would think facing an opponent twice a season as a rival in your division would help offensive linemen from a mental standpoint, but when you're talking about a [former Lions defensive end] Robert Robert Porcher or a [former Packers defensive end] Reggie White it's not necessarily something you look forward to, especially when you consider the fact that you're facing those two guys a total of four times per year in a 16-game season. When we were in the NFC Central division there were so many unbelievable defensive ends in terms of talent. It does help you to understand an opponent a little bit, which is why you study them and their tendencies. That's what really helps with age in the NFL, realizing the safety rotations and the blitzes that are coming before they happen.
There are times in a game when a team will throw a blitz package at you that you didn't see in practice that week, and you have to figure out how you're going to solve it. If you don't solve it on the first series then you need to get to the sideline and figure out how you're going to solve it. We had that scenario when we were playing against the Baltimore Ravens. They brought a whole new blitz against us when I was playing with Seattle. [Former Bucs quarterback] Trent Dilfer and [Seahawks quarterback] Matt Hasselbeck came to me on the sideline and said, "Jerry, how the heck to we pick this up?" We went over and drew it up on the board and figured out a whole new way to pick up the blitz. Once we figured it out we completely shut it down.
You have to have veteran players to understand what's going on out on the football field in order to solve those types of challenges. Coaching is like parenting. You're trying to teach your kids to do the right thing and be good students and better basketball players, but at the end of the day your kids have to go out there and play their own games and live their own lives. It's no different in football. You can sit there and coach and teach all day long, but eventually the player has to have an instinct or knack and understand what it is you're teaching them. That's why guys have such a tough time transitioning from college to the NFL. The NFL is so dynamic and there are so many different things going on, so some players never take their game to the next level. There were a lot of guys that were better athletes than I was, but they didn't perform well in the NFL because they didn't understand the game of football or maybe didn't put the time in that was necessary to make it in the NFL. That's how you wind up with busts in the NFL Draft.
The Bucs offensive line is doing a good job. They've been put under a lot of stress from trying to learn different systems, but that's part of the job. One of the main things they need to focus on is finishing and being nasty, which comes with giving that little extra effort on every play. However, a lot of that has to do with the uncertainty of the plays, assignments or concepts. In order to be nasty and fly off the ball you have to know what you're doing and where you're going. With everything that has gone on in Tampa Bay in terms of the changes, the Bucs offensive line has lost that nastiness. When guys know what they're doing they finish, and you will see guys five yards down field putting somebody on their back. Right now the Bucs offensive linemen are more concerned with, "Did we get the double team, did we get movement, and did we do it right?" That's not conducive for a great running game or blitz pickup.
After the Bucs changed offensive coordinators last year, what I saw was defenders on all-out blitzes running free through the "A" gap, which is one of the first rules you learn not to allow to happen because that's directly in the passing lane of the quarterback who is trying to hit the wide receiver on a slant, so he can't get rid of the ball. You have to get that picked up. After those types of plays you could see offensive linemen looking at each other and saying, "You were supposed to pick that up." Where you really could see some of the problems or hesitancy due to the changing in offensive systems and blocking schemes was from the tight ends and running backs not knowing or understanding the blitz pickups or pass protections. You saw that a lot with Kellen Winslow and Jerramy Stevens being quite unsure of what they had in blitz pickups.
The Bucs have good offensive linemen, so once they get an understanding of what they're doing and a comfort level in the offense and blocking scheme, I think you'll see some nastiness come out of that group and really make a difference for their team this season. Tampa Bay has a talented quarterback and some good running backs that didn't get a lot of carries last year. The Bucs offensive line is a good, young group, and they have a good core group. They have all the talent they need to do what they need to be able to do and be very successful. There's no doubt about that. Guys like Donald Penn, David Joseph and Jeremy Trueblood have a few years of starting experience under their belts at this point, and as long as nothing has changed in terms of coordinators or systems, the third, fourth and fifth seasons are typically the ones where you see good offensive linemen get it and start coming into their own.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
As a teacher at North Pointe Prep, I can honestly say that I look forward to going to work every day. Our students are the best: hard-working, fun-loving teenagers who love being at school. Our administration backs teachers by swiftly removing any disciplinary problems and providing us with the tools we need to do our jobs. This, in turn, lets us focus on the task at hand: inspiring our students to do great things. It is a joy to work at such a progressive educational institution.
As a teacher at North Pointe I have had many positive experiences with fellow staff members, faculty, students, and administration. I am proud to call North Pointe my family. They represent what is good about education. The administration has a vision of excellence that in most schools would be unattainable, but here at The Prep, that is not the case. This vision drives our students and employees to devote themselves to the success of the school, academically, through the arts, in athletics, and the nationally acclaimed activities. The commitment required to be part of this family sets the standards above the competition. The school creates leaders and promotes personal growth in students and employees. It is a great place to call my school and when I talk about it to others I frequently refer to it being THE BEST!
North Pointe Preparatory I am a teacher at North Pointe. I have taught at several public schools and wanted to quit every week because the lack of support from administration. This is not the case at North Pointe. I look forward to coming to work and working with the students at NPP. I believe everything our administrators, faculty, and staff does is for the betterment of our students and their education. I have worked at North Pointe Prep for several years. I am proud and happy to be working here. Sincerely, North Pointe Teacher
I applaud the administration for sticking to the policies set for the students. I appreciate the zero tolerance enforcement. When my son started there as an incoming 7th grader, we attended an orientation. Parents and student alike were all given the same information....as he addressed the students... "there is no 'warning'... consider THIS your warning". I thought that was an awesome way to demonstrate to the students that life doesn't always give a free pass to breaking the rules. We are all given a student handbook - it's up to each student to abide by the rules and it's up to each parent to support the discipline we agreed to by enrolling our students there. If you can't appreciate what a charter school is trying to do for your student - you can elect to take them to another school. That's the beauty of Charter. Charter schools are schools of CHOICE - make the right choice for your student and you'll have a lot LESS disappointment.
We are so thankful that we have choices when it comes to the education of our children. North Pointe has provided them so many opportunities especially in the Arts. When most districts are cutting these programs, NPP continues to enhance and improve them. The school is always innovative in their approach to student involvement. Students are excited to go to school here, they feel so safe, they are full of school spirit and pride, and there is a no nonsense approach to discipline. My kids attended a district middle school before coming here and were bullied because they didn't quite fit the "mold". At this school, kids are accepted for who they are and the school has a ZERO tolerance policy towards bullying and fighting. Academically, there is a wide array of options, especially for a school as small as this one. My kids are engaged in their learning and have excelled beyond their potential. Do they go overboard on school activities? YES, but not to the extreme as some have stated. The school likes to "Prep Up" events and to this mother of 5 that means Going Above and Beyond. Thanks North Pointe for not being an "in the box" type of school and for being Falcon Awesome!
Reading some of these reviews, I can't help but laugh a little. I went to North Pointe & graduated from there; I couldn't have had a better HS experience anywhere else. I see a couple of parents trying to label the school as a "party" school, that is not the case. I never once went to a party while I attended there, or heard of parties going on all the time. I participated in sports & theatre. There is honestly something to for everyone! I loved how the school inspires you to get involved, even if it's not with a sport or an art, there tons of other activities. I didn't live in a good neighborhood growing up, my feeder HS was Alhambra. I did NOT want to go there. I was thankful that North Pointe did not have district boundaries & did not have tuition fees, making it possible for me to attend. When reading comments keep in mind who typically are the people to take the time to write reviews. It's usually the people who had a negative experience & wish to "scare" others away because their student was disciplined, trying to get back at the school. The parents who love the school aren't the people going online checking for reviews. They are busy checking their student's grades online.
My granddaughter goes to North Pointe and I could not be more proud of the principal and teachers there. To have a principal connect with his students in this manner is outstanding. I would like everyone out there to remember " What they see is in the eye of the beholder". If they see dirt, that is what's there, but if they see humor, that is awesome!
I have read many of the reviews and I have to say I am proud of those who have taken the time to be honest about the school and its issues. It is true, if you are looking for a place that prepares your students for partying- this is the place. As far as academics, the teachers are wonderful but the policies of the school make it hard for teachers to keep high expectations. I agree with other reviews, students need to know how to be organized and complete homework in multiple classes in order to be properly prepared for college. My son really wanted to stay with his friends and attend NP, but as a parent I could not allow him to make that call. I want my student to have structure, meaningful homework, a supportive/positive Principal, and those things are not available at NP. The classrooms are worn down to say the least, classes tend to be overcrowded, textbooks are in terrible shape, and the school's focus seems to be spending money everything but academics. I have heard many students complain about the teacher turnover due to being mistreated by the Principal. If you value education and hope to be involved in your child's education this is not the place for you.
My children attended North Pointe & Point schools for 5+ years and I have watched what were once good schools deteriorate as the current administration took over and made "changes". Wonderful tenured teachers were let go and replaced by inexperienced, academics and actually preparing students for college are seemingly not a priority, and parental involvement or input are not welcomed whatsoever. Even when "issues" arise the staff will not go one ounce out of their way to actually help you or resolve the issue but do their best to brush you off or get you to go away. Expect at best a curt email for a reply with nothing but "their way"/ policies. One of my 2 kids moved to a public school (not for disciplinary reasons) and it has been both an academic and extracurricular improvement.
As my son approaches the end of his senior year I find myself reflecting on the past and the memories he has made. We are a long time Pointe School family. He came to the Prep from one of their sister elementary schools. When we joined Pointe schools the then dean sold me on a vision of a school where students not only got a top quaility college prep education but were exposed to a large varity of experiances and give mulitipule oppertunities to excel. As I look back I have to agree that this is exactly what Pointe schools provided. My son has been accepted to every college he has applied too. Giving him his choice of educational oppertunities. He has been involved in so many afterschool activities that I could not list them all. The sheer number of activities has helped to keep him from falling into the unhealthy activities that so many teen struggle with. The prep simply keeps its students so busy having good clean fun that they don't have too look for other ways to have fun. No school is perfect and the prep has room to grow but overall the positive has far, far out weighed any negative.
I am a student at NPP, and honestly the people who dislike it are the ones with the rude and disrespectful kids. If you yell at the principal, because your kid did not follow rules, than of course he's not gonna take it. That's life, and that's how it is at a job too, you don't just yell at your boss. The principal is not rude or "scary", he's just professional. All students here are treated with respect and are held high. We do not allow bullying what-so-ever, and we get very good grades. I have always struggled with courses, but ever since i came to NPP, i became an A student. Most students here have good grades also. The teachers are amazing. Staff is amazing. Who doesn't love rewards for having good grades? Activities give us school spirit and also a break from being in class...Rock Lobster is a reward for AIMS. There are a lot of people waiting to get in this school, and we have no room for uptight parents who complain about how awesome this school is.
After reading reviews carefully and going to the school to have a tour with the principal, we decided to give North Point a try. It seemed good and that the administration had the kids best interest at heart. Afterall just look at the test scores. It didn't take long to realize it was all a well orchestrated ruse. I have never met a more unreachable administration that is uninterested in parental concerns. Look at the reviews on this site, administrative avoidance and lack of compassion is a large part of the complaints. The principal can ONLY be reched via email and typically responds in a highly "Reactive not Proactive" manner. They take an extreme "Our way or the Highway" approach to parental concerns. I have even witnessed the police called on an upset but rational parent by the principal who not once asked "What is wrong or how can I help". If you are looking for a school that is, Good on the surface" this is the place. The school is ran like a business and children are treated like inventory. I would liken the administrations availability and indifferent approach to education to a foreign call center. If you truly care about eduction....this isn't the place for your child.
After an extensive search for a decent Junior/High School High that is not filled with drugs and gang members. I picked NPP because of the ratings it received from independant websites for the amazing AIMS test scores and for the ratings parents and students gave it. I made serveral visits to the school with my son before making the decision to enroll him. He loves NPP and is a straight A student. He achieves "excellent" on his AIMS test scores, but most importantly, he is happy going to school there. I wish there was a school like NPP when I was attending Junior/High School. I couldn't be more thrilled with the teachers and I am happy that Mr. Gow is strict. The kids don't want to visit him and that is the way it should be. Zero tolerance for bullying and for drugs!
I find it absolutely ridiculous that there are people out there only focusing on one week out of the entire school year to base their opinion of NPP. My kids have been in the Pointe Schools system since elementary school and we have watched numerous people leave, only to return a few years later. There is no perfect school out there, you need to find what works for you and your family. Even though we sometimes disagree with some things, as far as we are concerned, NPP has served our children well. This is a relatively small school environment where the administration and teachers know the kids if not by name, at least by face, and that is one of our biggest reasons for putting our kids here, next to the excellent education. Of course, our kids love it for the over-the-top events that the school puts on throughout the year too. Thanks NPP for making all of us happy!
I have been attending North Pointe for five years now, and so if you are a prospective student reading this review, I would take student reviews into more consideration than the parent ones. Not to say the parent reviews are not important, but many of the unfavorable parent reviews are directed towards the administration instead of the entire schooling experience. Now, our principal is, well, dictator-esque. He isn't warm, he isn't friendly, and he definitely is not personable. However, boy does he know how to run a school! My education has sky rocketed at North Pointe, and I am adequately prepared for college because of it. I have taken extremely rigorous courses and have still been able to participate in band, NHS, athletics, and activities outside of school as well. As for Rock Lobster-- yes, of course it's unprofessional! We are still kids, remember. Do I need to remind you of the partying that happens in college? This is good, clean fun, so let us have it! (Also, there is no "no homework policy" for AP courses. For other courses, the "no homework policy" means that students get a little time to finish their "homework" in class, deeming it "classwork" instead of "homework".)
What's wrong with "Rock Lobster"? Yes, they have a wet t-shirt contest. Classes soak each other and then wring out the t-shirts to fill buckets of water. It's a great way to blow off the stress of the previous testing week. Rock Lobster is after AIMS and the other required testing. Yes, they wear swim suits. Guess what these kids are not extremely self conscience about their bodies. They are smart, know how to study and have fun. If you want your child/teen to act "professional" then this is not the school for you. As for the parent who thinks this is "not appropriate", it's not appropriate for YOU. The whole point of charter schools is choice! I wonder how often the professional students ditch class. My kid is there every day and getting college credit for classes.
I am a Junior going to be a Senior. I have been in this district since 6th grade. Half of these Reviews that are bad are a joke. i personally LOVE this school. They give you a great curriculum, and truelly care about your opinion. They listen to your problems and try there best to help each student with them. Your class choices are taken into consideration, and you get a personal meeting to discuss your plans. The teachers are excellent and are picked out my the amazing Mr. Gow (principal) himself. If any problems, he takes the students and parents input on that teacher as well as grades and his personally known facts on how they maintain a classroom. I would recommend anyone go here for their excellence in balance of the 4 A's (Arts, athletics, academics, and activities). Not everyone will be satisfied with this school, simply because they do push you and they also include fun. However, you can always find a good friend here, for ANYONE, and you have a good opportunity to find new ones within every activity. Please choose North Pointe:) It is absolutely fantastic!!
My daughter has been attending North Pointe Prep since the 7th grade. She is currently a Sophmore and has grown exponentially over the last 4 years thanks to Mr. Gow (the Principal) and his team of talented staff and faculty. I give props to a Charter School that delivers on the same level as a private school.
I personally like that this administration doesn t take bullying from anybody . My ex-wife tried to talk the principal out of suspending my son, but it didnt work and I am glad. He needed to learn a lesson (good kid did something dumb doubt it will happen again.) When the principal called me he was to the point and professional. Solid academics. No game playing or favorites. Basketball team just made the playoffs. They aren t always asking for money and dont make my son sell stuff for fundraisers. Good School.
As long as you do not have an issue that needs attention from the office staff and/or principle, this is a good school. Teachers really care about getting the best out of their students and, for the most part, there is very little bullying that goes on. But do not be fooled, there is bullying that goes on from both the girls and boys. The principle rules the school as a dictator, not as an administrator; It is his way or the highway. And if you try to talk to him about an issue he will get annoyed and passive/aggressive. If you try to continue the issue he will just threaten to have you barred from school grounds and hang up. Then, when you try to go to his boss, the school superintendent, you will find out that she is just a figurehead and the principle will respond to you in his capacity as assistant superintendent and tell you to go away. The school's high grade standards are because they are very selective as to which kids get to attend. And if your child's grades starts to slip, they will attempt to make them leave. Just be aware of the principle's dictatorial tendencies and any lack of district over-site.

Rated 3 out of 5�by paintballer 13 it is average This paint is ok I have used these before and i would hit people with it and it did not bust and I hit him like 4 to 5 times then it finally busted overall I would have to say it's average April 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by azpbaddict Horrible Not at all accurate. Waste of money. don't buy. Save a little more and buy better. shell is pretty hard. December 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by MeToo Not bad. Purchased as a gift for my sons (age 13 and 10). They didn't have any complaints except some of the paintballs exploded in the package. December 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by irv $$$ yup For the price yes their pretty good. I play a lot with my kids and yes I will buy them again. I play with Tippman 98 and base spyders. I don't think they would work all that great on auto markers. December 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by fisheria Great For the Price Great paint I buy it for shooting in the backyard. It shoots really strait and breaks easily (on other people). My only complaint is the fill isn't the brightest and it's runny. November 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by kr1800 Great Value! I purchased 2 cases on a web special and free shipping along with a buy one get one 50% off. $48 to my door for 4000 balls was GREAT. UPS managed to only slight crack one ball out of 4000. I only shot a few as I've not used this brand before but so far so good and comparable to the Valken Graffiti I had. I'm new to the sport and at this price it was worth it for practice. Only a couple in the bag had readily apparent dimples and appeared to be well rounded. I expect decent performance out of these.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Zero Gravity The Best I been playing paintball for 5 years and I play for a D3 Paintball team. I use these for fun shooting and they are the best. When I open the box there are no Breaks, and no breaks in my barrel or gun, since I started using them (3 years ago). They are good for starts and pros October 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Jake Quit Complaining! I'm so tired of people complaining about this paint. It's 30 dollar paint!!! Yes, it's not the greatest quality, and yes it occasionally has issues, but that's what you pay for! Now for the review: Definitely low grade paint. Iv'e been in paintball for over 2 years and have shot well over 50 cases of paint and iv'e never bought my paint from Dick's. Had to save money this week and change that. These paintballs are pretty darn round. This is a feature that sometimes 60 dollar paint lacks. My main issue is the fill. There isn't a lot of paint in the balls which is causing them to be light and not breaking to well on my opponents. Other than that it's not bad. If I were you guys, I'd spend the extra 10 bucks and buy xball Blaze Scenario. Basically the same ball except the fill is much better! September 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Erick There great For the price there great I went to my local store and picked up 6 cases after using the first case I bought September 18, 2013

Describing himself as "very honored and flattered," lighting designer Tom Ruzika received the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle's Angstrom Award for Lifetime Achievement in Lighting Design at the group's annual ceremony, held March 16 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The award is sponsored by Angstrom Stage Lighting of Hollywood.
Ruzika was honored for all his work in Los Angeles theatre, particularly his longtime affiliation with South Coast Repertory (SCR), plus productions at the Mark Taper Forum and other area venues. "I continue to move past my set ways, by working with all the new technology," he says of his design philosophy. "I head up the graduate lighting program at the University of California at Irvine, and when I assign my students to design a big musical, they immediately put on tons of color scrollers, Vari*Lite(R) automated luminaires, and High End Systems Cyberlights(R). I would not--could not--think of these things when I was starting out, but now SCR has 32 color scrollers and we're trying to figure out how to get a stock of automated lights in there."
The LD, also noted for his work in themed entertainment, is trying to bring some of the "high-tech flash" of that arena into his theatrical work. "My students know all about the equipment that's out there, and they want it. And so do I," he says. He recently lit four shows in 10 weeks in Los Angeles, ranging from the "simplicity" of Oleanna to the much more elaborate Arcadia (both for SCR), The Pajama Game (for Reprise), and Some Like It Hot for Fullerton Civic Light Opera. On the theming front, The Ruzika Company is lighting a mile-long roller coaster for Knott's Berry Farm in California, working on Universal Studios projects in Orlando and Osaka, and a touring version of Star Trek: The Experience, which will originate in Germany. "It's great to be honored for 30 years of achievement, but I'm not about to retire," he laughs.

Places to stay in San Francisco
Your choices in San Francisco hotels are overwhelming. The prices can be too. So during our staff visit to the City by the Bay, we looked for reasonably priced hotels that had charm, location or both. We came back with 14 ideas on places to bed down. It's not a complete list, but it is eclectic, like the city itself.

Hotel Tomo( Catharine Hamm / Los Angeles Times / November 29, 2012 )
This gem in Japantown may be one of the best values and most fun in the Bay Area. You'll find anime murals all over the place (including the guest rooms), but you don't have to be into that colorful graphic form to appreciate a well-designed room (with a desk, thank you) and a location that's central to all that's fun about Japantown (about a block to the Peace Plaza and some of the most interesting shops in the area). Plus, you know when you check into a place where there's a UC San Francisco sleep testing laboratory (it occupies the fifth floor), you're probably going to sleep tight. 1800 Sutter St.; (415) 921-4000, http://www.jdvhotels.com/tomo/. Doubles from about $109 a night.

CATEGORIES MoviesHow do you sell a whole lot of movie tickets? Have James Franco play Hugh Hefner, Demi Moore play Gloria Steinem (!), and then top it off with some onscreen nudity!
As expected, the biopic on the infamous porn star Linda Lovelace is going to include many shots of a nude Amanda Seyfried, who's playing the titular lead. "It's going to be very risqué," "Lovelace" producer Patrick Muldoon told E! Online.
From "HOWL" directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, the film peers into the world of the "Deep Throat" actress, centering around her relationship with her abusive pornographer husband, Chuck Traynor (played by Peter Sarsgaard).
Muldoon went on to explain that the revealing shots aren't the film's only selling point.
"It's a new thing for [Seyfried], but it's not about nudity," he said. "It's profound, the performance that she's giving...She's doing such an amazing job."
He also underlined an important point: "Yes, there's a lot of nudity, but it's a message movie about respecting women."
Hear that?
"Lovelace" hits theaters sometime this year.

All joking aside, I'm feeling pretty low. My favorite (and third) Spyderco met with an accident on the way home today. Welp, back to the report:
It was raining. I needed to be somewhere fast. I was running from the bus station to that place when I hear a small click, not unlike the sound a tic-tac container makes falling on the counter. I turned around, and notice on the ground behind me my Techno, open, locked open. Not seconds before it was clipped securely in my jeans pocket, like so (zoomed out: http://imgur.com/Vvh1VQV):
Anyways, I picked it up, hastily closed it so as not to alarm those around me and rushed inside. I scanned it quickly for marks. I saw some scratches in the titanium scales:
I then frantically searched for a place to go to make a more thorough inspection. Unfortunately, I had to settle for a stall in the Men's room. There I examined my Techno more closely. I discovered a massive flat spot where the relatively soft titanium had been, well, smushed.
After that I turned my attention to the blade. I was shocked and saddened to see that not only the tip, but the edge was damaged. Tip:
Other side:
Lastly, the poor edge;
Unfortunately my photography skills/camera combination is of sufficiently low quality to make it hard to see the extent of the damage, but I did what I could.
Now, I feel that there may be a couple of serious design flaws (or one time defects, I would be happy to hope for such a thing so as to keep Spyderco in as good of a light as possible) that allowed this to happen. First of all, the clip should not have let the Techno fly out of my pocket. (Now, for the sake of Full Disclosure, the clip is not the Techno clip, but rather a Sage 2 clip, the only difference being the finish. The clip was never modified and was securely tightened prior to the fall.)
Secondly, the short (hip to ground) fall should not have caused the Techno to have flipped open at all, let alone enough to engage the lock. I have no idea how this happened to be honest, but due to this the edge was severely damaged and in my opinion this is the worst of the damage by far.
Final notes: The stonewash certainly helped hid the smaller scratches. Until I saw the larger issues I was ready to put them down as character marks. The G-10 backspacer got one gear scratched, but after rubbing it for a minute with my thumb (smoothing the plastic scratches down) it is hardly noticeable anymore. The lockup is still solid as a tank.
Bottom line: I would really appreciate it if Sal is willing to exchange it for me if I send it in, since I feel that there were manufacturing defects in play here, and no negligent behavior (unless we are never supposed to run with clipits). However I want to be clear that I am still a loyal fan and will continue to buy Spyderco knives whether or not Sal agrees to do this for me. I love Spyderco, and I love the Techno. I still recommend it, only with the warning that you have probably all heard before: Don't run with knives.

Unpaid Foreign Claims
Final Payment of Claims under the January 15, 2009 Referral:
The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (FCSC) has completed its adjudication of claims and review of final appeals under the Libya Foreign Claims Program. The FCSC has also certified its final award to Treasury for payment. Therefore, Treasury is prepared to begin making final payments to awardees under the January 15, 2009 Referral. Furthermore, based on the aggregate amount of all awards certified by the FCSC to Treasury for payment, Treasury calculates that there are sufficient funds available under the Libya program to support making final payments to awardees in amounts that, when added to previous payments, will total 100% of their award amounts. Under these circumstances, pro rata payments are no longer necessary, and awardees will receive, in total, 100% of their awards.
Within two weeks of this posting date, awardees can expect to receive a set of documents similar to those they received in regards to previous payments from Treasury under the Libya program. Awardees must sign and notarize (where required) the documents, and are encouraged to promptly return them to Treasury. Upon receipt of properly completed documents, Treasury will process the awards and make payment via EFT. Awardees should allow 2 4 weeks from the time Treasury receives their signed documents to receive final payments.
Partial Payment of Claims Under the January 15, 2009 Referral:
Federal law specifies that the Secretary of the Treasury must make payments for foreign claims programs by following certain procedures as detailed in 22 United States Code Section 1627 (e). First, Treasury must make an initial payment of $1,000. Then, Treasury will make pro rata payments. In order to determine the amount of the pro rata payment, it is necessary to determine the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such awards under the program. This aggregate unpaid principal balance can then be compared to the funds available in order to determine the percentage of the total award that can be paid to each claimant.
Libya Claims
As stated by the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (FCSC) , it is currently adjudicating claims of U.S. nationals against Libya pursuant to the terms of the Claims Settlement Agreement of August 14, 2008, between the United States of America and the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, as implemented pursuant to the Libyan Claims Resolution Act, Pub. L. 110-301 and Executive Order 13477 dated October 31, 2008, and referred to the Commission by the U.S. Department of State by letters dated December 11, 2008, and January 15, 2009, pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 1623(a)(1)(c). The Commission is currently processing claims which qualify under both the December 11, 2008, and January 15, 2009, referral letters.
Awards that are approved by the FCSC are subsequently certified to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service (FMS) for payment. FMS is currently disbursing awards based on claims which qualify under the U.S. Department of State referrals letters and which have been adjudicated and approved by the FCSC. Acceptance and approval of claims under the Libya Claims Program is the sole responsibility of the FCSC.

You saw this story First On Fox. Someone in a Delaware County neighborhood is leaving threatening messages on a family's car.
The reason? They're bi-racial. One note threatened a one-year-old baby girl. The family is convinced it's someone they know, living nearby in their Norwood community.
Now, neighbors are coming together, to show support for the family at the center of those threats. They met at the corner of Chester Pike and McKinley Avenue Thursday night.
Many neighbors wore shirts, saying "Racism Stops Here."
The family was overwhelmed by the showing of support. The mother of the family has no ill will towards whoever is leaving the notes. She says she just wants them to get help.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Imagine what the Packers would have done with a full offseason to get their offense in sync.
That — and other forms of it — was the running press-box joke most of the night as Aaron Rodgers and last season's champion Packers (head coach Mike McCarthy would never allow us to call them "defending champs") put on a pretty good offensive clinic in the season-opening victory, 42-34 over the Saints.
Even Rodgers jumped in on the jokey fun, bringing the topic up no fewer than four times in his postgame press conference.
"Well, it must have been those offseason workouts," he said in various forms.
It was a surprisingly good game all the way through the final play — though one largely devoid of consistent defense — considering the way the Packers took control early. They used a diet of up-tempo passing and took a 14-0 lead before the lights were all the way turned on at Lambeau.
Rodgers threw for a career-high 188 yards in the first quarter, and his only misfire in a 14-of-15 passing start was a throwaway under pressure, as he finished with 312 yards on 27-of-35 passing with three TDs.
As for the Saints' pressure, they provided little. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams tried it all: blitzing, stunts, dropping eight into coverage. Little worked; the front four of the Saints barely got a push as the Packers' blockers mostly dominated the game.
The Packers barely showed rust on offense. Sure, there were signs in the game that the lockout wasn't too far in anyone's rearview mirror (bad tackling, poor footing, execution penalties and, my goodness, special-teams miscues), but it otherwise was near-flawless execution by Rodgers and Brees, especially Rodgers.
"I thought Aaron was outstanding," McCarthy said. "Aaron commands the offense. He did an excellent job keeping us in favorable plays and no turnovers.
"He has set the standard and he's off to a great start."
Even aw-shucks WR Jordy Nelson couldn't help but playfully poke fun at the notion that the Packers not working out together during the lockout had any effect.
"A lot of people were worried about those offseason workouts we didn't do, but apparently we were all right," Nelson said.
In fact, the Packers were more effective offensively Thursday night than they were in the Super Bowl, when drops were a huge problem. The ball barely hit the ground when Green Bay possessed it vs. New Orleans, especially early on.
Falling behind so quickly reminded Drew Brees and Sean Payton of the last time they played here back in 2006, when it was 13-0 after three first-quarter Saints turnovers.
"Sean and I kind of referenced that on the sideline when, all of a sudden, it was 14-0," Brees said. "We had run two plays. But he said, 'We've been here before,' so we knew we could fight our way back."
Give the Saints some credit. Despite the 42 points they allowed, their coverage wasn't awful — Rodgers' passing was just that precise. Several times, SS Roman Harper, coming off his awful game in the playoff loss to the Seahawks, was in a position to make a play with blanket coverage.
"That's the frustrating thing about it," Harper said. "It's not like we were blowing coverages, guys were running open or beating us. Great throws always beat great coverage."
Brees (412 passing yards) and the Saints' offense had their moments, pushing the game to the brink, although he couldn't match Rodgers' throw-for-throw brilliance. And the Saints' 4th-and-1 pass failure at the Packers' seven-yard line, down eight points with three minutes remaining in the third quarter, proved to be a major turning point.
"Hindsight, it's easy to say, 'Kick the field goal,' " Payton said. "But that being said, we felt like we had a play we wanted to run. But it didn't work. It's not an easy call, but it's one that you look back on and I'll kick myself a little bit."
Still, the Saints were not going to win after allowing the Packers to score on four TD drives of 75-plus yards, three of which went for 80 or more. The defensive line, one playing without DE Will Smith (suspension), was shoved around repeatedly and seldom generated a pass rush without the benefit of a blitz.
"A couple of those back-shoulder fades just killed us," Harper said. "But we competed, we fought and it took great throws to beat us. We understand that if we can affect the quarterback just a little bit more, make him pat (the ball) just a half-second more, we have the chance to make big plays."
Harper was being diplomatic. Williams can only do so much if the defensive line doesn't improve, but it's also important to put things in perspective: These are the Packers, operating on the highest of levels — workouts shmerkouts.
"We put our work in," Nelson said. "We put our time in and worked hard in training camp."
The numbers might not show it, but the Packers showed Thursday night they could be very good in time defensively, too. Brees caught fire in the second and third quarters, throwing for 170 yards and leading scoring drives of 71, 60 and 46 yards to make it a one-score contest after the Packers appeared to have the game in hand.
But the short-yardage misfires came back to haunt them. Two hirsute Packers — Clay Matthews and Erik Walden, who had an excellent game — converged on a side-winding Brees, who barely was able to get off a pass on the failed fourth-down play in the third quarter, albeit an incomplete one.
"We gave up too many points, but we had the big plays when they counted," Matthews said. "On that play, we just chased (Brees) off his spot and got the ball back in the offense's hands."
On the final play of the game, with the Saints down eight points again, Matthews and SS Morgan Burnett led the charge of about six Packers defenders who stoned rookie RB Mark Ingram, playing in his first NFL game, and kept him from getting in the endzone.
"It's on the goal line, man," Ingram said. "I got to get in there. I have to find a way to get in there."
He repeated himself a few seconds later.
"This is the NFL," Ingram said, a towel covering his head in a now mostly-empty Saints locker room. "I have to find a way in."
The story, though, was Rodgers. And his 10 receivers. Without a 100-yard receiver, Rodgers spread the ball around to all of his playmakers, with nine catching at least one pass and no more than eight of his 35 passes going to any one player. He even fed the new kid on the block, second-rounder Randall Cobb, who caught a TD pass on his second NFL touch despite running the wrong route on the play.
Rodgers couldn't resist turning the rookie's mistake into a playful moment.
"That must have been because we didn't have workouts," Rodgers said with a smile, knowing that his team was doing just fine, lockout or not, layoff be damned, thank you very much.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Notre Dame took control on its home floor before anyone could work up a sweat.
The top-seeded Irish ran out to an 11-0 lead less than two minutes into the game Sunday and overpowered Liberty 74-43 in the NCAA tournament first round.
The Irish (31-3) will face California (25-9) on Tuesday at the Purcell Pavilion, where Notre Dame is 16-1 this season. The Golden Bears beat Iowa 84-74 in the first game.
Natalie Novosel and Brittany Mallory hit 3-pointers to open the scoring. Kayla McBride converted a three-point play and Devereaux Peters hit a jumper for an 11-0 lead. After Liberty rallied to within 16-8, the Irish took off on another 11-0 run to lead 44-19 at halftime behind 13 points from McBride.
McBride finished with 15 points to lead Notre Dame. Devon Brown scored 16 for Liberty (24-9).
The Irish's biggest lead was 34 in the second half as coach Muffet McGraw was able to substitute freely and rest her starters late in the game.
Novosel finished with 12 points and Peters 10. Star guard Skylar Diggins attempted only six shots and finished with seven points to go with nine rebounds and six assists.
Notre Dame shot 48.5 percent to 31 percent for the Flames, who managed only 42 shots. Danika Dale added 12 points for Big South champion Liberty, which got 10 rebounds from Avery Warley.
Liberty, averaging 20 turnovers, had 23 -- 17 in the first half. Known for their tough rebounding, the Flames were beaten on the boards 38-29, including 15-9 on the offensive glass.

Some research has shown a link between eating certain fish oils and reducing joint inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis, but more research is needed to assess this possible benefit.
It's smart to consider how your lifestyle might play a role in the ups and downs of rheumatoid arthritis. Being too heavy, for example, stresses your weight-bearing joints, increasing joint pain, stiffness and inflammation.
You can also stay away from any food that seems to make your symptoms worse. But don't exclude whole food groups or large numbers of foods without consulting a registered dietitian or your doctor.

The Willingness Factor: Learn to Avoid Avoidance
Melanie's life was shrinking like a cheap blouse in an overheated dryer. At 30 she'd developed a fear of flying that ended her dream of world travel. Within a year, her phobia had grown to include—or rather, exclude—driving. After the World Trade Center attacks, Melanie became terrified to enter the downtown area of any city. - Continue Reading

<file format> (SYLK) A Microsoft file format for spreadsheets, (not to be confused with symbolic link).
SYLK format existed in one form or another in as early as 1987, and was part of Excel v1.0. It is is an outgrowth of VisiCalc DIF file format.
SYLK format is ascii text and represents information about both formula, value, and some formatting information, which makes it something like an RTF for spreadsheets. It is used as a general tabular data exchange format.

The Communications Workers of America and Frontier Communications announced Oct. 12 they had reached a second contract extension for their more than 1,600 employees in West Virginia.
The original labor contract expired Aug. 2, 2013, but Frontier requested an extension until Oct. 12, which CWA agreed to grant. The second, most recent extension will last until Jan. 18, 2013.
According to the CWA, agreements on "critical agenda items" have not yet been reached between the union and Frontier, but negotiations will continue.
"With the holiday season approaching, it was important to extend the current contract," CWA International Representative Elaine Harris said in a news release. "It gives our members one less thing to worry about during a busy time of year."
The contract covers former Verizon employees who became Frontier employees when Frontier Communications purchased Verizon's landlines in West Virginia in 2009. The employees, through CWA, have been negotiating a new contract with Frontier for the past four months.

Post-Doctoral candidate seminar in Hill Auditorium, Thursday, June 13 at 11 a.m.June 7th, 2013
Eric Kuo
University of Maryland – College Park
candidate for the Physical Sciences Partnership Post-Doctoral Research Associate position
Thursday, June 13
Location: Hill Auditorium, 165 Barrows Hall
11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
"A role for conceptual understanding of equations in problem solving"
Research in expert problem-solving practice in physics has pointed out the important role of well-structured conceptual knowledge and initial conceptual analyses. Yet, these conceptualizations of problem-solving expertise do not attend to possible benefits of a conceptual understanding of the equations. In this talk, I will give an example of how use of symbolic forms (Sherin, 2001), cognitive elements that blend intuitive understanding with mathematical symbols, can support heuristic shortcut solutions that avoid explicit algorithmic computations and demonstrate problem-solving expertise. I also argue that symbolic forms use is connected to epistemological stances – views towards what it means to learn and understand – that value coherence between everyday thinking and formal physics ideas. Drawing from this study and one other, I suggest that this connection between mathematical reasoning and students' epistemologies has implications for interdisciplinary education and for considering what factors support transfer of knowledge across disciplines.
Bio: Eric Kuo graduated Summa Cum Laude from Brandeis University with a B.S. in Physics and a B.A. in Mathematics in December of 2007. He went on to receive his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland, College Park. In that time, he has been a researcher and a graduate research assistant, designing research agenda and co-designing a curriculum targeted at mathematical sense-making in physics, winning a grant for this research in 2010.
Faculty, students, and staff are invited to attend this presentation,
and to partake in a light luncheon.

Posted by 'anberlin_fan' via GodTube.comIn the face a tragedy a brave school secretary talked a raging gunman into laying down his weapon. The weapon that she used was the love of Jesus and her testimony of grace. She takes no credit for her heroic action - instead she gives all glory to God for saving the lives of the entire school as well the gunman.

Municipal Innovation: Berkeley Helps Citizens Go Solar
Original post made by Sanford Forte on Oct 26, 2007
Here's an interesting idea that might gain traction, nationwide. There are challenges to programs like this, but Berkeley is stepping up to the plate, and making change happen.
on Oct 26, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Sanford Forte,
Yes, not a bad idea, at least in the abstract. I am all for solar, but I have one big problem with it: It is UGLY! I hate those panels. Solar roof shingles (which already exist) would be a much better approach.
The best green approach, by far, is nuclear power. Palo Alto should be increasing its purchase of electricty from nuclear providers. That would put pressure to increase the number and capacity of nukes.
on Oct 26, 2007 at 8:55 pm
Putting solar panels on your roof is a bad idea right now. The technology is moving forward quickly and in five years time the type of solar panels we use today with be obsolete. I'd wait until new technology becomes available.
on Oct 27, 2007 at 5:10 am
Yeah, nuclear waste, that's what we need more of. Perhaps Greg can let us in on how that's going to be disposed of, even assuming we don't have another Three Mile Island or Chernobyl.

XL Video UK is supplying Maximo Park's lighting and visuals for the band's current UK and European tour, marking the third phase of a progressive video/lighting design process which commenced at the start of 2006.
Designer Stevie Marr works with a Barco MiTrix screen and Catalyst digital media server. For Marr, an enthusiastic exponent of video and lighting "convergence," the MiTrix added a new edge and depth to the show, as well as providing surfaces for his 70 or so custom created video clips. These were all sorted on and played back through two layers of the Catalyst.
The account was handled for XL by Jo Beirne and Phil Mercer who comment, "Stevie always comes up with new and refreshing ideas, and it's been great to see Maximo Park's video design evolve. He knows what he wants and is great to work with on all levels."
The MiTrix are arranged in seven rectangular columns of various shapes and dimensions across the stage, its gentle asymmetry suggesting an optical illusion of uniformity which isn't quite what it seems.
Offering 602 x 192 pixels, the MiTrix was relatively high resolution for Marr, who used VersaTiles and then VersaTubes respectively on the previous two tours. The clips he designed and made for this leg of the tour are completely new, although with several stylistic links and references to the materials used before.
His initial brief from the band—who he keeps updated with visualisations as the content evolves—was to keep the look bold and blocky utilizing plenty of primary colors, in the vein of the industrial and angular oeuvre of Russian constructivist art.
Marr's collocation of clips were primarily non-narrative, with a couple of notable exceptions, including "Our Velocity," which sees the screens come alive with sequences of rapidly jumping and flickering numbers.
He also used the occasional clip that has persisted throughout the entire tour—in this case an oscillating graphic EQ effect, which also graced the Tubes and the Tiles of the previous shows, activated during the high energy song "Limassol." That content takes on a totally different ambience when displayed on the MiTrix.
Operating both lighting and video via a RoadHog console supplied by lighting contractors Lite Alterative, Marr is impressed with the speed and response time of the MiTrix. At times he flashes between different clips just as if he was operating lighting fixtures. "The response is instantaneous," he states. Marr maximizes this functionality during the spikey guitar riffs in the song "Girls Who Play Guitars," adding that MiTrix is "The best surface I have seen yet for playing back graphics and material timed exactly to the music."
He adds that the service he's received from XL Video has been "Excellent as always." XL also supplied Al Wright as video tech, while Lite Alternative supplied Donny MacDonald, both working with Marr to get the show on each day.
Lighting-wise, Marr kept the rig low, intimate, and in close physical proximity to the video elements and the performance area, enmeshing the two mediums physically as well as metaphorically.
The tour resumes in European arenas in December.
