Teens and Guns: a problem that plagues communities
ESCAMBIA COUNTY - Teens and guns, it's a problem that plagues communities and transcends race and social class.
In a Channel Three News special report, Kavontae Smalls set out for answers on how and why some of our teenagers get a hold of guns and pull the trigger.
"Our family is still dealing with that to this day" said Toni Washington, Grandson killed during teen gun violence.
Talking about teen gun violence is one thing, but to live through it, is another. Every time Toni Washington looks into her china cabinet, it reminds her of her one year old grandson, Ty'Quarious Moultrie.
From the bottle he held, to the bag of chips he ate in July 2011, that's when he was shot by Dwayne Pinestraw.
Pinestraw was 19 years old when he pulled the trigger, now he's serving a life sentence.
"If it wasn't my grandson, it would have been somebody else, and it still can be somebody else, and as long as those guns are still out there, it's still going to keep happening" said Washington.
Teen gun violence can strike anywhere, but it's especially disheartening for the innocent.
"It took a whole year in therapy to be able to try and walk again" said Jamal Lee, Victim of teen gun violence.
At the age of 16, Jamal Lee found himself in the line of fire in a drive-by shooting.
He says his shooter was retaliating against a member of his family.
"I got shot two times in my back, I got pronounced dead in the hospital, but the doctor brought me back and said I was paralyzed and would never walk again" said Lee.
Pastor Lonnie Wesley says there's no clear answer to stopping teen gun violence.
He feels a means to curbing the violence starts by talking to kids early on...
"That child has to feel good about his educational opportunities, and take advantage of it" said Pastor Lonie Wesley, Greater Little Rock Baptist Church.
Wesley is the Pastor of Greater Little Rock Baptist Church.
Last year after his church hosted a basketball game, a fight broke out.
During the fight, one of the players, fired into a crowd, shooting two people.
"Each teenager has to know there is a better alternative for his life, than pulling that trigger" said Wesley.
"Where are these kids getting all of these guns, that's what we've got to stop right there" said Larry Rice, Escambia County Resident.
A lot of questions exist about teens and guns, but answering them is difficult because each case is different.
"They're getting them through other crimes being committed.
When they're breaking in houses or breaking in cars, these guns are being stolen" said Captain David Alexander, Pensacola Police Department.
In the end, it's not the guns doing the killing instead it's the people pulling the trigger.
The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice created the Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT).
It compiled data on juvenile delinquency from 2007 to 2012.
It may help answer the nagging question 'why some teens resort to violence in the first place?'
In Northwest Florida, most juvenile crimes happen because they're acting on 'impulse', in the heat of the moment. Anger and motivation by peers are other top reasons.
Pastor Wesley says prayers, marches and anti-violence rallies alone won't stop the violence.
Instead, the entire community must stand up to the culture of violence.
This includes sharing what they know with law enforcement.
"As long as things like this is going on and people are keeping their mouth shut, they're going to feel like they can get away with it and they're going to keep doing it" said Washington.
The PACT Profile reveals top reasons that drive juveniles to crime in Northwest Florida.

The Order of St John was a strong supporter of the Red Cross movement whereby trained volunteers would help to care for the sick and wounded in wartime under the protected emblem of the red cross. Consequently, when the St John Ambulance Brigade was formed by the Order in 1887, it was a voluntary civilian organisation for providing medical assistance in public emergencies, but would also act as medical reserve for the Army and Navy.
When war was declared on 4th August 1914 the War Office knew that voluntary aid would be essential if the allies were to be victorious. They called upon the Order of St John to provide voluntary aid in the form of medical support and by the end of the War over 45,000 St John men and women had volunteered.
Stories of Friendship – Photography Exhibition
A photographic exhibition of images of Apulia in Southern Italy, will be on show in the Priory Church this summer from 21st July to 30th August 2014. Stories of Friendship highlights the important contribution that Apulia made in securing the end of the Second World War, a fact largely unknown by the international community. However, the focus of this exhibition is not so much on warfare, as on the stories of ordinary people. One hundred photographs, films and diaries from the archives of the Imperial War Museum, London, provide a new insight into some of the most significant encounters between British soldiers and the civilian population. The soldiers portrayed in the photographs established cordial relations with the local community and many British soldiers married local women, setting up households both in Italy and in the UK. Stories of Friendship testifies that even in war there is room for solidarity, regardless of nationality and status.

I think we are in danger of losing something. Something rather important to photography, something that has been around since the early days of photography. That something is technical perfection. At the risk of sounding old, when I was studying photography, the most important thing that was drummed into us, was aiming for technical perfection.
Many people find that even when engaged in something they absolutely love doing, there is sometimes a degree of drudgery involved in one aspect or another, some chore that has to be completed as an inextricable component of an otherwise enjoyable activity. For many a photographer, this unwelcome chore is post-processing. Here are some ideas to help you take some of the stress out of post-processing.
It's a fact that many of today's photographers have used a vintage lens at some point in time. Not only is it a cheap alternative to a modern lens, it also presents a wonderful opportunity at learning photography fundamentals. But, is it really worth it? If you ask me, I think it's totally worth it. I must say that this article is purely based on my experiences with vintage lenses, and I'm sure most of you will agree.
With another week passing us by, we find Toad Hollow Photography searching the internet for links to the very best tutorials, special features, collections, great photography and interesting blogs. This weeks list features some of the finest pictures and posts found by the Toad during his regular adventures, and we truly hope you enjoy checking out these links as much as he did in bringing this list to you.
Railroad tracks reach to infinity effortlessly. There are modern, state of the art rail systems. Tracks that have been used through long standing, historical routes, and even during war eras are still active today. Abandoned tracks that have been forgotten, continue fading into the woods and earth. Here are some tips to take timeless pictures of railroad tracks.
Anyone who has spent even a scant amount of time researching and searching for the perfect camera bag will quickly become familiar with two things: 1. That there is no such thing as the perfect camera bag. 2. The pervasiveness of the Think Tank brand. Think Tank Photo doesn't deal exclusively in camera bags, however; they also sport a substantial line of laptop and tablet bags.
Like any other main stream activity, photography goes through phases both artistic and technological. Some of these trends end up becoming long lived, HDR is a prime example, whilst some tend to fade off into obscurity. While we had earlier predicted what we can expect in photography this year, today we're are going to attempt to track down some of the more important of the current trends in photography.
It's a fact that even the most beautifully composed image will fall apart if it includes a dull, lifeless sky. A great sky, on the other hand, can boost the impact of an image immensely. The problem is that we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and she is not always forthcoming about giving us the sky we need. Today we are going to look at some ways to improve your skies using Lightroom.
The internet is a wealth of information. So much information, in fact, that it can be a real pain trying to sort the useful from the not-so-useful. A simple Google search for "free photography ebooks", for example, churns up well over 14 million pages. Sound overwhelming? Fortunately, we've done all the dirty work for you and compiled a list of 23 awesome ebooks to help you get your education on.
If you're not familiar with it, The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE) is a map-centric sun/moon calculator that shows how the light falls on the land. It is used by tens of thousands of photographers around the world. Some big news: TPE for Desktop is changing and the current version will stop working. The good news is that a new TPE for Desktop web app has been built from the ground up and is ready to use today.

Special thanks to Todd Smith for sharing this video in YouTube embed format... In this Sales Meeting From Hell clip, we see an example of what can best be described as a "Sales Prevention Manager" demoralizing a sales team and displaying his gross incompetence, as recorded by one of the sales people who obviously is smarter than the sales manager speaking in this video.
I downloaded this clip from YouTube after watching the one that Todd Smith posted so I could upload it to ADM and get it featured.

There are plenty of games in the National Football League that deserve recognition. We're not completely close-minded enough to sit upon our castle surrounded by a moot occupied by sharks with friggin' lasers, demanding that every Bengals game be selected in a subjective ranking of the best games from 2012. Seven games were decided by more than a touchdown and the Bengals lost four additional games, though that wouldn't factor when ranking a win.
The NFL Network counted down the top-20 games of 2012, and in fairness, most of the games listed were extremely entertaining in one form or another. But what a disappointment that the network excluded the Cincinnati Bengals 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 16.
The Steelers entered week 16 with a five-game winning streak against the Bengals, who haven't beaten the Steelers since 2009. Questions about Cincinnati's ability to win the big games reached an all-time high, needing to beat the Steelers to clinch a postseason berth in consecutive seasons for the first time in 30 years -- and only the second time in franchise history.
As expected the fierce defensive struggle lived up to its billing early. Ten minutes into the first quarter, Pittsburgh only generated one first down and the Bengals accumulated four. Both quarterbacks were sacked at least once and eight of the game's first 21 plays from scrimmage gained two yards or less (not including the four incomplete passes by Andy Dalton and Ben Roethlisberger combined). Fans were symptomatic with the hard hitting going on at Heinz Field on December 23.
Naturally it would be the defense that broke the goose eggs on the scoreboard. With four yards needed to convert a third from the Steelers 13-yard line with 2:23 remaining in the first quarter, Pittsburgh came out in 12-personnel (one running back, two tight ends) with Roethlisberger in shotgun. Cincinnati counters with the nickel, dropping cornerback Leon Hall over tight end Heath Miller. Roethlisberger kept his eyes to his right, waiting for Miller to break in after leaning out towards the sidelines. Hall's technique kept his hips squared to his target, but the technician anticipated Miller cutting inside. Roethlisberger didn't anticipate Hall's anticipation and released the football. The Bengals took a seven-point lead with 2:15 remaining in the first quarter.
Pittsburgh pieced
Steelers rebound late.
Neither offense generated any momentum. At various junctures, someone would sustain a possession, but failed to capitalize. Following Hall's pick-six, the Steelers pieced together a 79-yard drive on 15 plays, but failed to convert after Shaun Suisham pushed a 24-yard attempt wide left. A Kevin Huber 54-yard punt with under six minutes remaining in the second quarter pinned the Steelers at their own two-yard line. It was a game of field position that benefited Cincinnati, requiring only a field goal on the ensuing possession following Pittsburgh's punt with 1:57 remaining in the first half to take a 10-0 lead.
Then the big play strike.
Ben Roethlisberger takes the shotgun snap with 1:18 remaining in the second quarter from Pittsburgh's 40-yard line. Adam Jones, covering Antonio Brown, horribly bites on the receiver's false step out, which allows Brown to cut upfield with at least five yards of separation.
Where was the help?
The Bengals appeared to play cover-one with Crocker keeping an eye on the slot receiver while Reggie Nelson started to blitz, but hung out underneath. Adam Jones was on an island and Brown simply won.
It also appeared that someone was playing the wrong coverage.
Why are there three defenders forming a triangle within five yards of each other? It also appears at this point that the Bengals were playing cover zero (no one deep) because after the slot slips behind Maualuga (who is clearly in zone coverage), there's no one save for Crocker. It's also possible that they were playing Cover Three, with Hall still pedaling back, despite his receiver breaking off towards the sidelines.
Either way, you win some, you lose some. The Bengals lost this one, allowing a 60-yard Antonio Brown touchdown, reducing Cincinnati's lead to three points as the first half concluded.
Sacks, fumbles, interceptions, long-distance field goal attempts, insane fourth-and-22 attempts, and a Suisham 40-yard field goal with 4:05 remaining in the third quarter kept the game tied at ten deep into the fourth quarter. Hearts are beating, fingernails disappearing and nerves exploding bodies into paralysis.
An Issac Redman 13-yard reception, Vontaze Burfict delay of game and incomplete pass, led the Steelers to their own 29-yard line with :24 remaining in regulation. Feeling the internal clock tick away, Roethlisberger eventually rolls out to the right, scanning the field while keeping the football in a cocked position. Approaching the line of scrimmage, flipping his non-throwing hand to tell a receiver which direction to go, Roethlisberger floats the football well over Mike Wallace's head into the loving embrace of safety Reggie Nelson. Nelson returned the football 10 yards to the Steelers 46-yard line.
Still a distance to go with only :14 seconds remaining. Dalton, also familiar with the No. 14 (providence, baby!), with cold determination, stands in the pocket and beautifully drops a perfect throw to A.J. Green, just prior to the wide receiver falling out of bounds. Josh Brown boots the game-winning 43-yard field goal and the Bengals return to the postseason.
We identified the game as one of the most symbolic wins during the Marvin Lewis era, largely for this version of the Cincinnati Bengals overcoming Steelers intimidation while doing something the franchise hasn't done in 30 years. Was it one of the best games of 2012 in the NFL?
Asking that question to a Bengals fan will invite enthusiastic responses. So we're a biased bunch, replaying that game while at work with fingers interlocked behind our collective heads.
It wasn't a pretty game. Neither offense was particularly impressive. There were turnovers, penalties, missed chip-shot field goals and just awful decision making. It was a defensive slobberknocker, which doesn't vote favorably in a league obsessed with pretty finesse offenses.
That being said it was a hell of a game with significant implications, both symbolic and for the postseason. And that alone deserves more recognition.

Advocates are calling on President Obama and the Department of Justice for full accountability for the death Michael Brown, the unarmed Black teen shot by police in Ferguson, Missouri, and for systemic changes to discriminatory police practices nationwide.
There can be no reproductive justice for all until the state-sanctioned murder of Black youth in this country is addressed.
Hundreds of students at around ten colleges walked out of class in solidarity on Monday, expressing their anger at the lack of justice for Brown and the other young people of color killed in police shootings.
The Obama administration announced another change to the religious accommodation to the birth control benefit, and predictably conservatives hate it.
Among other things, Ferguson shows us that systemic racial injustice persists, often with "states' rights" or "local rights" as justification.
Only when it is considered, in practice, a serious crime to kill a Black person will it be possible to have peace in the United States.
When the media neglects to cover Black missing person stories, it is omitting the fact that people care about missing Black women and girls, and permitting the conditions for this toxic environment of invisibility and violent actions with no recourse to thrive.
While national attention is focused on the police shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, researchers and advocates in different cities across the country are pointing out the obvious—this problem is larger than one town.
The tragic shooting death of an unarmed Missouri teenager by a police officer is a wake-up call for advocates that police brutality is a reproductive justice issue.
Nationwide vigils for Michael Brown and other victims of police violence were a time for peaceful mourning, but not without moments of outrage.

Partner swapping goes awry in The Qualms, the new comedy by Pulitzer-winning playwright Bruce Norris (Clybourne Park). In this darkly funny world premiere from Steppenwolf Theatre Company and Tony-winning director Pam MacKinnon, a group of friends gathers at a beachside apartment complex for their regular evening of food, drink, drugs and sex. But when a new couple joins the party, the freewheeling night devolves into a territorial battle over mating privileges. Often compared to Edward Albee for his witty examinations of the American psyche, Norris is one of two playwrights (the other being David Mamet) to win a Pulitzer, Tony and Olivier Award for a single play. In The Qualms, he delves into the eternal struggle for power and status. Learn More

I think we are watching American theater history. You should definitely try to get out and see this show--it's a modern-day epic, and will certainly have life (and awards) beyond this original production, so get it while it's still available at a good price!

Overall, a very moving performance reminiscent of Tennessee Williams. We found, at times, the timing off on some of the dialog. The character, Jean - a 14 year old girl, lacked the exuberance and mood changes of every teenage girl I've ever...continued

A well-staged production, with a cast of made up of some of Chicago's best! Amy Morton and Jeff Perry were my favorites in this show. It is a long show (3hrs. 20 min.) but it moved along really well. It didn't fell like 3+ hours at all.

A smart & funny play about a dysfunctional Oklahoma family. The 3 hours of the play flashed by. It never seemed slow and the excellent acting made you care about nearly all of the 10+ varied actors. Thoroughly recommended for an adult audience.

The first Fall 2014 class meets on September 9th (Tuesday) at 1-4pm in E15-341
This HCI (Human-Computer Interactions) course will explore the design space of Tangible Bits and Radical Atoms in order to seamlessly couple the dual world of bits and atoms by giving physical form to digital information and computation.
This is a project course with enrollment limited to keep a design studio atmosphere. We will explore different ways of broadening the bandwidth of interaction between people and digital information through Tangible Interfaces and Radical Atoms that help people representing, interacting and collaborating using the full range of human senses and skills. We will pursue the interfaces that are not only practical, but also aesthetically pleasing and engaging.
Students will design/develop experimental Tangible Interfaces/Radical Atoms, applications, underlying technologies, and/or theories, using concept sketches, posters, physical mockups, and working prototypes. Use of sketches and physical mockups are encouraged to solicit studio discussion. Studio discussions of these ideas using tangible materials will be a vital way to refine designs collaboratively. Over the course of the semester, each student is required to complete one solo design practice, and two group projects.
In 1997, we presented our vision of "Tangible Bits" at the CHI '97 conference. We proposed the concept of Tangible User Interface (TUI) that is based on physical embodiment of digital information & computation, in order to go beyond the current dominant paradigm of "Painted Bits" or Graphical User Interface (GUI). Humans have evolved a heightened ability to sense and manipulate the physical world, yet the GUI based on intangible pixels takes little advantage of this capacity. The TUI builds upon our dexterity by embodying digital information in physical space. TUIs expand the affordances of physical objects, surfaces, and spaces so they can support direct engagement with the digital world.
Through the design of a variety of TUIs, however, we have learned that TUIs are limited by the rigidity of "atoms" in comparison with the fluidity of "bits". TUIs have limited ability to change the form or properties of physical objects in real time. This constraint can make the physical state of TUIs inconsistent with the underlying digital models.
To address this challenge, we presented our new vision, "Radical Atoms", in 2012. Radical Atoms takes a leap beyond Tangible Bits by assuming a hypothetical generation of materials that can change form and appearance dynamically, becoming as reconfigurable as pixels on a screen.
Radical Atoms is a computationally transformable and reconfigurable material that is bidirectionally coupled with an underlying digital model (bits) so that dynamic changes of physical form can be reflected in digital states in real time, and vice versa.
Radical Atoms is the future material that can transform their shape, conform to constraints, and inform the users of their affordances. Radical Atoms is a vision for the future of human-material interaction, in which all digital information has a physical manifestation so that we can interact directly with it. We no longer think of designing the interface, but rather of the interface itself as material. We may call it "Material User Interface (MUI)."

Amanda Sharp's Countdown to the Frieze Art Fair in New York
With just a few days to go before Frieze New York opens—the first U.S. version of the contemporary art fair Matthew Slotover and I started in London nearly ten years ago—I am excited but I also have to admit a little nervous about embarking on such a gigantic project. We made the decision to go ahead with the fair a year ago but it is only in the last three weeks, since we starting building, that it became very real. I'll be spending the week on Randall's Island in the East River, in the "tent" we have constructed that will house 180 galleries, as well as restaurants and cafes. I'll also be finessing the talks program and looking at the installation of the artist commissions and the outdoor sculpture park.
I do feel very happy right now because the fair looks so beautiful—both similar and yet oddly different from London's. Designed and created by the Brooklyn-based architects SO-IL, the temporary structure looks like a mini-city hugging the contours of the land (above). Infused with light, it is a wonderfully playful, uplifting place to be, with views of the water. Last night as I was leaving the fair, I could see the sculptures along the river reflecting the sunset—magical.

Mollendo, city, Peru, on the Pacific coast. Founded in 1872, its site was chosen by the American engineer Henry Meiggs, builder of the Arequipa-Mollendo Railroad. Additional rail connections to local mines and to Puno and Lake Titicaca, supplemented by its artificial harbour and the Pan-American Highway, have made Mollendo an export-import point for southern Peru and Bolivia, although after 1941 much of its port trade was lost to Matarani, just to the northwest. The irrigated Tambo River valley, southeast of the city, yields rice, sugar, cotton, grain, and fruits. Mollendo has fish canneries, cement works, textile mills, and cheese factories. Its beaches have attracted a growing tourist trade. Pop. (2005) 22,650.

Dwyane Wade on Heat: "Best 5-4 team in the league."
By Ethan J. Skolnick
It wasn't supposed to start like this.
The Heat players talk about "process" as often as parliamentarians.
We get it.
It will take time.
Even so, it can't be considered a strong start when you're 1-4 against quality teams, and after you fell behind by 15 at halftime in both games against Boston.
"It's November 11th right now," Erik Spoelstra said. "We're not there. We did not play well tonight…. At times it will be bumpy and this is a bumpy stretch right now."
Previously, the major issue was the offense. But the Heat has played listless defense since halftime against Utah. That's six quarters and an overtime.
"Tonight they simply out-executed us, carved us up and exploited us," Spoelstra said. "It paralyzed us. The things that we had been doing well, we were kind of caught watching. We're better than this."
That was Dwyane Wade's post-game message as well.
That they're better, and will eventually show it.
He said he wasn't concerned about another off-night against the Celtics: "I've proven I can score the ball."
When asked if he was surprised the team was 5-4, he acknowledged that "you can't run from your record."
Still, he said with a smile: "We're the best 5-4 team in the league. How about that?"
LeBron James, after a 35-point night, was a bit more circumspect.
"You know how good you can be," he said, thinking back to the roster construction. "These tests show us how far we have to go."
He conceded that, because the Heat's chemistry is not where it is for teams like Boston, it's sometimes difficult for the Heat to stay with its game the whole way.
"You get to a point where you try to rush it," James said. "And you just can't do that."
He also said something that will be interpreted in some places as a jibe at his coach, though I didn't take it that way.
"For me, 44 minutes is too much," James said. "I think, for D-Wade, 40 minutes is too much. I think Spo knows that."
But it also seems that right now, Spoelstra doesn't know whom he can trust. He played 11 guys in the first half. He played Joel Anthony fewer than eight minutes, and Carlos Arroyo just over 10.

Profit From 5 Trades Warren Buffett Made
Last up on Berkshire's conviction trade list is GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a $130 billion pharmaceutical name that Buffett's stock pickers unloaded en masse in the last quarter. With the $1.13 million share selloff in Berkshire's portfolio, the firm owns a "meager" $17 million stake in the firm. GSK isn't the only big pharma name that got sold off in the third quarter; the firm also dumped nearly 160,000 shares of Sanofi (SNY).
GlaxoSmithKline owns a broad portfolio of drugs and vaccines that span nearly every category. Even though crown jewel Advair lost patent protection in 2010, generic competition has been far less than the bear case proposed by Wall Street. Going forward, Glaxo's investment case looks a lot like most of its peers: big R&D investments into rare diseases hold orphan drug potential for GSK, at the same time that longer-running efforts on more mainstream drugs get closer to market.
Glaxo is currently in the middle of a major cost-cutting initiative that should take some of the pressure off of the firm's pipeline until more new offerings hit the top of the income statement. But that hasn't stopped investors from pricing in black clouds over a 4.58% dividend yield at current price levels. Buffett and company are all but out of this stock at this point, but with decent fundamentals and rapidly improving technicals, GSK actually looks much better positioned than DaVita does right now.To see the rest of Berkshire Hathaway's plays -- including a complete list of which stocks the firm added or sold off -- check out the Warren Buffett Portfolio on Stockpickr. -- Written by Jonas Elmerraji in Baltimore.

MNF Chaser: How to bet CHI-GB
Line analysis and ATS picks from Vegas experts on the Monday night game
It seems like a long time ago when the Green Bay Packers were 1-2 and people were questioning whether they could be contenders in the NFC. After four straight victories (3-1 against the spread), that question has been answered. And remember, they still have some guy named Aaron Rodgers (aka the best QB in the NFL) leading them on offense.
The Packers (4-3 ATS overall) have been beset by a barrage of injuries to their best skill players, including Clay Matthews and Casey Hayward on defense and James Jones, Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley on offense. But the injuries have actually helped diversify Green Bay's offense, which now boasts the No. 3 rushing attack in the NFL (141.4 yards per game) led by Eddie Lacy. The fact that this offense leads the NFL in yards per play (6.49) and started last Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with Myles White and Jarrett Boykin at wideout (along with Jordy Nelson) and Andrew Quarless at tight end is a testament to just how good Rodgers is -- and how bad Minnesota's defense is.
On the opposing sideline, the 4-3 Chicago Bears (1-5-1 ATS) are dealing with the same issue they've been dealing with for years: what to do with Jay Cutler. Cutler has played better this season, ranking ninth in Total QBR before going down with a groin injury two weeks ago, but he will always be a gunslinger who has the dual ability to destroy his team's chances to win a game (see: Week 4 in Detroit) and to lead an inspired comeback (see: Week 2 against Minnesota). The offensive line has been better with impressive rookies Kyle Long and Jordan Mills shoring up the unit, and Cutler has taken only 10 sacks this season, second-fewest in the NFL among starting QBs. It seems likely that Chicago will give Cutler an extension after this season, but ownership would surely like to see a couple more games and a playoff run to be sure. In the meantime, it's The Josh McCown Show in Chicago.
The bigger problem in Chicago could be the defense. Despite being labeled as "too old" for several years, it continued to perform at an elite level until this campaign. This season, it ranks 17th overall in DVOA, according to Football Outsiders, and 31st in adjusted sack rate. The defense simply isn't as formidable as it was a couple of years ago, giving the offense a smaller margin for error.
This line opened at Green Bay minus-7.5 at the Las Vegas Hotel and was quickly bet up to 10.5. Not surprisingly, 66 percent of the public likes the Packers to cover, according to ESPN Insider's PickCenter.
Let's turn to analysis on the line from Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hotel and an ATS pick on the game from Insider's panel of handicappers.
Matchup: Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Spread: Opened Green Bay minus-7.5; now Green Bay minus-10.5
Total: Opened 49.5; now 50.5

Chicago -- The future of wireless communication may have its start this year in Chicago, industry observers said.
The service known as WiMax can roll television broadcasts, phone service, Internet connections and other data transmissions into one high-speed pipeline.
WiMax was given a corporate push Wednesday, when Sprint Nextel Corp. and Clearwire Corp, put together a $14.5 billion partnership involving $3.2 billion in investments from Google Inc., Comcast Corp., Intel and Time Cable Inc.
Regional tests of the system could begin in Chicago, Baltimore and Washington by year's end, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday.
Chicago may see WiMax first as it is close to the home of equipment supplier Motorola Inc., the newspaper said. Clearwire expects the system could go national by 2010.
MySpace, the most popular social networking site on Thursday outlined a data-sharing program under which its users will be able to share their profiles, photos and friends on other Web sites.
Grand Theft Auto IV, the latest installment of the hit GTA video game franchise, racked up first-week sales of more than half a billion dollars, after selling over 6 million units globally.
Tokyo -- Software giant Microsoft Corp. has ended its pursuit of Internet search engine Yahoo! Inc., company Chairman Bill Gates said in Tokyo, Japan, Wednesday.
Gates said the company would pursue "an independent strategy" in its pursuit of a bigger share of the online advertising and Internet business, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Formal talks to purchase Yahoo! ended last weekend, three months after Microsoft bid $44.7 billion for the company.
At a press conference in Tokyo, Gates said Microsoft "will make the advances that give people a great choice there."
In South Korea on Tuesday, Gates said Microsoft was still open to forming partnerships with other Internet companies.
Microsoft owns 1.6 percent of Facebook, the second-largest social network Web site behind MySpace.
Cambridge, Mass. -- A team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology students are building a prototype power concentrator that they say might revolutionize the solar energy field.
Led by MIT mechanical engineering graduate student Spencer Ahrens, the team is assembling a 12-foot-square mirrored dish capable of concentrating sunlight by a factor of 1,000. But it's being built from simple, inexpensive industrial materials selected for price, durability and ease of assembly rather than for optimum performance.
Ahrens said the goal is to make a dish that, in mass production, can be competitive in cost with other energy sources and produce heat for space heating and electric power at the same time.
"The technical challenge here is to make it simple," Ahrens said. "We're using all commodity materials that are all in high production."
Overland Park, Kan. -- U.S. telecommunications giant Sprint Nextel and Internet service Clearwire are close to announcing a joint WiMax venture, sources said Wednesday.
The project of creating a high-speed wireless Internet service for cell phones and laptop computers is valued at about $12 billion, The Washington Post reported.
Internet and telecommunications giants Google, Intel, Time Warner and Comcast are providing $3.2 billion to get the venture on its feet, the report said.
Sprint would own 51 percent of the business, which would be run by Clearwire's Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Wolff, the source said.
The new company will be called Clearwire and have its headquarters in Kirkland, Wash., the source said.
The companies may announce the deal this week, the Post reported.
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) was bold enough to walk out on Microhoo. Will it be brave enough to bail on its Zune, as well?
No, Mr. Softy isn't ready to throw in the towel on its portable media player just yet. The company has recently started selling television show episodes and broadened the social-sharing functionality of the devices.
Atlanta -- U.S. scientists say they've designed a system capable of simultaneously measuring and testing hundreds of radio frequency identification tags.
The new system allows the measurement of the signal strength of tags hidden behind other tags, said Georgia Institute of Technology Assistant Professor Gregory Durgin, who led the research.
RFID tags are used for applications that include inventory management, toll collection and airport luggage security.
The tag absorbs some radio frequency energy from a reader signal and reflects it as a return signal, delivering information from the tag's memory.
If several RFID tags are in the vicinity of a reader, the reader usually communicates with the tag transmitting the most powerful signal first and then puts it to "sleep" to prevent it from transmitting repeatedly. Then the reader moves to the next most powerful signal. This process can be very time-consuming.
