For students of statecraft and history, the invitations to SAARC leaders for the swearing in ceremony of PM-designate provide a fascinating example of Acharya Chanakya's Raja-Mandala doctrine at work. In Kautilya's Artha-Shastra, in Book VI, "The Source of Sovereign States", Acharya is quoted as saying;
"The king who is situated anywhere immediately on the circumference of the conqueror's territory is termed the enemy….The king who is likewise situated close to the enemy, but separated from the conqueror only by the enemy, is termed the friend (of the conqueror)."
This of course, is part …

Freshmen Lead SFA to Fifth-Place Finish
April 1, 2014
SUGAR LAND, Texas – Led by the freshmen duo of Ann Holcomb and Piper Kyle, Stephen F. Austin moved up one spot over the final day of the 2014 HBU Husky Invitational. The Ladyjacks finished fifth among the 13-team field, posting an 81-over 945.
SFA closed out the 54-hole event with a 19-over 307 over the final round, shaving 10 strokes off its second-round total of 317. The 307 is tied for the eighth-best round in program history while the 945 currently sits as the 11th-best 54-hole score since the program's inception in 2009-10.
Kyle posted the low round of the day for SFA, shooting a 3-over 75 to finish the Husky Invitational at 16-over 232 (78-79-75) and tied for 13th in the individual standings. Joining her in the tie was Holcomb, who shot a 4-over 76 to also finish tied for 13th overall (81-75-76). It marks the third top-20 finish of Kyle's career while Holcomb recorded her first career top-20 finish.
Fellow freshman Jessica White placed 34th overall with a 26-over 242 (81-83-78), besting sophomore Sydney Reed by one stroke as Reed carded a 27-over 243 (81-80-82). Senior Aliece Anderson rounded out the SFA scorecard with a 32-over 248 (87-83-78).
Sophomore Julia Bazaldua tied for 53rd overall competing as an individual, shooting a 33-over 249 (87-82-80). She finished one shot ahead of sophomore teammate Mackenzie Steiner's 34-over 250 (87-81-82).
Entering the day two strokes out of fifth-place, SFA made its move with four of the five Ladyjack competitors shooting sub-80 rounds. It was enough to move SFA into the top-five, besting sixth-place Oklahoma City (90-over 954) by nine shots to record the Ladyjacks' third top-five showing of the season and the eighth in program history.
Southland Conference foe Lamar pulled away from a three-team tie to capture the team title with a 51-over 915. The Cardinals beat out both Central Arkansas and Louisiana-Monroe, who tied for second with a 58-over 922. Host Houston Baptist placed fourth (68-over 932) with SFA rounding out the top-five.
The Ladyjacks now prepare for the final event of the 2013-14 regular season, heading to Magnolia for the 2014 Southland Conference Championships. The 54-hole tournament gets underway Tuesday, April 15, before wrapping up on Thursday, April 17 at High Meadow Ranch Golf Club.

But what works in Vogue doesn't do so well in every day life.
Spanish artist Yolanda Dominguez' work, Poses, recreates ridiculous fashion poses in public settings, and the results are hilarious.
In an interview Dominguez explained:
These artificial models are the only reference we have and many women want to be like them but this is not natural and is causing many disorders (eating, mental, behavioral).
On the other hand poses of the women are ridiculous – they seem dead, twisted, pulled ... I try to express deep questions (sometimes dramatic) but always with irony and humor. I feel that when you can laugh at something you can get rid of it.

Románský biskupský palace (Romanesque Bishop's Palace)
Románský biskupský palace (Romanesque Bishop's Palace) Review
Next to the Cathedral of St. Wenceslas is a complex of buildings that for centuries were the center of the archdiocese. The oldest, commonly called Palác Přemyslovců (Přemyslid Palace), houses a museum where you can see early-16th-century wall paintings decorating the Gothic cloisters and, upstairs, a wonderful series of Romanesque windows and displays of sculpted stonework fragments. This part of the building was used as a schoolroom some 700 years ago, and you can still make out drawings of animals engraved on the walls by young vandals.
- Address: Václavské nám. 4, Olomouc, Moravia, 771 00

Newly elected Manchester school board member sues ex-employer, the city school district, over firing
Van Houten won the election for the Ward 12 school board seat over Christine Duffley 504 votes to 460, or by 4 percentage points. Van Houten was backed by the city Democrats, while Duffley was supported by the Republicans.
Duffley, Van Houten's opponent, said she was "shocked and saddened" to learn about the legal action. "I believed Connie to be a sincere person. It would appear this might be a conflict of interest to be on the board," she said.
On June 4, at the end of the school year, Van Houten alleges she met with two supervisors to discuss "her concerns and the retaliation she had been subjected to." Van Houten indicated that she expected to return to her job in the fall, but was told she wouldn't be informed of the schedule until August. The co-director at that time gave her a "positive reference," according to the suit.
The suit raises the likelihood that Van Houten herself will be on the board when it is asked to review the case.

Definition of 'Metrics'
Parameters or measures of quantitative assessment used for measurement, comparison or to track performance or production. Analysts use metrics to compare the performance of different companies, despite the many variations between firms.
Investopedia explains 'Metrics'
Metrics can refer to a company's EBITDA, earnings per share, or any other financial measures. They can also be industry specific, such as barrels of oil produced for exploration companies.
Taking the ratios of some metrics forms multiples, which further allow analysts to compare diverse firms.

ASX eyes allies in a changing worldPUBLISHED: 02 Oct 2010 00:06:52 | UPDATED: 02 Oct 2010 06:17:50PUBLISHED: 02 Oct 2010 PRINT EDITION: 02 Oct 2010
Report George Liondis
Stepping down . . . Robert Elstone.
When outgoing ASX chief Robert Elstone says things can change in the blink of an eye, he means literally.
In just four years, the number of share trades the Australian Securities Exchange executes in the third of a second it takes for a human eye to blink has increased from 12 to 800.
Mr Elstone, who announced this week that he will step down in July, knows that's more than just a curious piece of trivia.
In fact, it goes to the very heart of the challenges facing the ASX and why it is looking to forge links with other stock exchanges, including a possible merger.
In response to speculation about increased trading activity in its own shares, the ASX confirmed this week that it was holding discussions with other exchanges about possible "business combinations".
While ASX insiders and analysts who know the group well say a deal does not appear imminent, a tie-up with another exchange is considered a possibility some time in the not too distant future.
"In my view, a new era for ASX should be accompanied by new ASX leadership," Mr Elstone said this week. "By the time I step down in 2011, I will have had stewardship of ASX for five years, in addition to my six years earlier at the helm of the former SFE [Sydney Futures Exchange]."
The ASX is stepping up the speed of its share transactions and looking at possible mergers to combat the threat posed by a new generation of electronic exchanges that are changing the face of the stockbroking worldwide with an emphasis on ultra-high frequency, computer-generated trading.
In the brave new world of share trading, speed is everything, allowing exchanges that can execute orders faster to pick up the best "buy" and "sell" prices for stocks and guarantee better profits for traders. Chi-X, an electronic stock exchange backed by Japanese broking giant Nomura, is hopeful of moving into Australia early next year, turning up the heat on the ASX, though regulators and the government are yet to give the group the green light.
In Europe, where it has wrested a 20 per cent market share from the London Stock Exchange in just three years, Chi-X is capable of processing 30,000 trades per second, putting the ASX in the shade.
"I believe ASX is well prepared to meet upcoming challenges and to prosper next year and beyond," Mr Elstone said.
As well as looking to forge ties with other exchanges, the ASX is spending up to $35 million to build a new technology data centre and has slashed its headline trading fees in half in a bid to head off competitors such as Chi-X.
It is also keeping pressure on the government and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), which will have the ultimate say on whether to allow rival stock exchanges to set up in competition with the ASX.
At the ASX's annual general meeting on Wednesday, Mr Elstone warned that having more than one stock exchange would pose serious risks to the safety of the market. To emphasise the point, he pointed to a sudden, unexplained market crash on Wall Street in May that wiped $US1 trillion off US stocks.
US regulators, who are close to finalising a report into the incident, have said that the multiple high-speed exchanges operating in America exacerbated the problem.
ASIC, which is assessing Chi-X's licence application and is drawing up tougher new rules to police high-speed trading across multiple exchanges, has been studying events in the US closely.
Interestingly, ASIC chairman Tony D'Aloisio was the former chief of the ASX before he was passed over in favour of Mr Elstone in 2006.
"The scale of the regulatory challenge to design market rules that minimise the threat to market integrity introduced by new regulatory complexity is a serious one," Mr Elstone said. While analysts say a merger does not appear on the immediate horizon for the ASX, talk of suitable partners continues to swirl.
Analysts say a merger could be pursued with the likes of the Singapore Exchange, Deutsche Börse and the New York Stock Exchange, which like the ASX have a diverse business model, offering share trading as well as settlement and clearing services.
The US's Nasdaq stock exchange could be another option given it runs the same technology platform as the ASX, while the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Hong Kong stock exchange are also mentioned as possible options.
While Mr Elstone would not be drawn on the speculation, ASX chairman David Gonski confirmed the group would continue to weigh up its options. "We have said that we are conscientiously evaluating the exchange space," Mr Gonski said. "As a board, we look at it and we will continue to look at it."

"I can do breakfast for dinner, but not dinner for breakfast," said my lunch pal, warily eyeing my plate of sautéed salmon with eggs, crispy-soft red potatoes and thick, addictive slices of toasted bread, fragrant with fresh rosemary. Like all the breads at Zac Jack Bistro, it's made in-house.
"The only reason I got the salmon is because they're out of trout," I explained. She made a face and turned to her own plate of more traditional scrambled eggs and crisp, thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon.
We also ordered a patty of house-made pork breakfast sausage (expertly seasoned and big enough for two) and a biscuit, which was surprisingly dense and dry.
The bistro opened the first week of July in Cameron Park, a satellite of the high-end Zachary Jacques French country dinner house outside Placerville (1821 Pleasant Valley Road; 530-626-8045).
Both are co-owned and operated by Cordon Bleu-trained executive chef John Evans and his wife, Lynnette Evans. The bistro occupies the space formerly held by the Red Bud Cafe, and the interior was well thought-out: textured walls, framed art, lots of glass, an open kitchen and a wood-fired pizza oven.
"We're still trying to figure out the food, the hours and the customer profile. It's been a learning process," John Evans said by phone Tuesday. "Above us (east on Highway 50) is country, below us is metropolitan. We're in between two types of customers."
Certainly, the bistro delivers its tagline promise of "everyday gourmet cuisine." Prices are fair, portions are generous, the quality ingredients are fresh.
For breakfast, look for pancakes, French toast and various combinations of meat-eggs-potatoes ($6.50 to $12.50).
Which sounds standard, but isn't. For instance, French toast shows up as huge slices of macadamia-nut bread dipped in coconut custard, grilled dark and topped with macadamia nuts, with coconut syrup on the side. Then there's a filet mignon with horseradish cream and vegetable hash.
On a lunch outing a few days earlier, we passed on the four salad options, were tempted by the "two-day slow-cooked French onion soup" and settled for a world-class burger with fresh-cut, skin-on french fries and house-made ketchup, and a luscious grilled-cheese sandwich ("croque") with chopped braised shortrib.
Unfortunately, the coleslaw on the croque was so bitter and dry we scraped it off.
"We're making adjustments and sometimes things fall through the cracks," John Evans explained. The half-pound burger made up for it the meat is freshly ground trim from Wagyu (American Kobe) steaks. Lunch items are $6 to $14.
We liked breakfast better than lunch though the pizzas looked great with dinner on our to-do list.
San Francisco elegance
There was so much pedestrian traffic around Union Square the day after Christmas that the local constables were called in to help move things along.
We found respite at the elegant Rotunda restaurant, on the fourth floor of Neiman Marcus. The menu can bring on sticker shock ($7 to $28), but context is everything. After all, the department store chain is famous for its over-the-top merchandise, and this branch is in an exclusive shopping district in one of the world's most expensive cities.
For openers, the amuse-bouche ("mouth amuser") of intense chicken stock chased away the chill from outside. It was followed by warm, airy popovers with strawberry-infused butter, absolutely delicious.
We could have stopped there, but continued with a bright crab-and-shrimp Louie with rich Thousand Island dressing, and a veggie-heavy chicken pot pie improved with the help of the pepper grinder.
The top of the department store's 80-foot-tall Christmas tree rose above us, taking our view to the oval-shaped domed rotunda itself. It's an amazing display of sculpture from 1909 that once graced the inside of the historic City of Paris department store, where Neiman Marcus now stands. The sight is reason enough for a visit, along with the great views and impeccable service.
Rotunda restaurant inside Neiman Marcus, 150 Stockton St., San Francisco; (415) 249-2720, www.neimanmarcus.com. Serving from one menu, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, noon-4 p.m. Sundays.

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."
1 John 4:7-8 ESV
Valentine's Day was celebrated with lots of love at Riverview Christian. The students participated in many activities throughout the day and a fun time was had by all. Valentine's Day serves as a reminder of God's great love for us and how we are to love others. How can you show God's love to others everyday?by Sally
A new year means new changes!
One of many changes at Riverview Christian is the addition of a new administrator/principal. We are very excited to add Greg Furman to the Riverview Christian family! We say thank you to Michelle Miller for all of her years of dedication to the school and we wish her many blessings on her new business endeavors. We also congratulate Paul and Sharon Baker on their marriage and look forward to Paul's service as a board member.
Changes to the board of education: Mike Boone is the new president of the school board with Jason Holdren as the secretary/treasurer. Additional board members are Paul Baker, Keith Miller, Ben Peterson, and Greg Furman (ex-officio member).
Although we were safe from the flood of the South Platte River, we were not safe from the flood of the drinking fountain water line. The line froze the week before Christmas break and proceeded to flood the entire office/primary building. Temporary classrooms and office have been made in the gym. There is a lot of work to be done and many decisions to be made as to the future of these classrooms and the office. Please pray for those who have to make these decisions and that God will lead in any decision made for the school.by Sally
No ark needed here! We were very blessed in that the river flooded to the north and not the south by RCS. The water did not even reach our driveway! However, we were prepared. Many teachers and volunteers removed curriculum, computers, and many other items that were not waterproof the day before the water hit. We also had an alternate site available to have classes should the need arise. Only one day of school was cancelled, due to road and bridge closures, and we are now back to school again! Thank you to everyone who prayed for Riverview Christian School. God is so good to us!by Sally

Sterling student wins WSU journalism scholarship
Feb 27, 2012 11:22 AM | Print
Named for the former Wichita Eagle editor-in-chief Victor Murdock, the Murdock Scholarship provides $5,000 over four years toward the winner's journalism education.
Johnson is the daughter of Paul and Kim Hoffman. She has been a member of the Sterling High yearbook staff for four years, serving as assistant editor as a junior and as editor-in-chief as a senior. She works as a reporter and photojournalist for the Sterling Bulletin and the Lyons Daily News and has done design work for the Hutchinson News.
"I am thrilled to receive the Victor Murdock journalism scholarship," said Johnson. "It is an important step to building my future journalism career. What drew me to Wichita State University was the outstanding school of communication, and now I get to be part of something great. I cannot wait to represent WSU and work in all facets of media."
Johnson has several top-3 finishes in regional and state journalism for photography and design, and has won several national honors for yearbook photography and writing.
"Alyssa is an energetic young lady with big goals for a career in journalism," said Eric Wilson, Elliott School instructor and scholarship chair. "She is already a leader and an award-winning journalist at her high school, and we are excited to help her grow her abilities and experiences and to have her represent the Elliott School as a Murdock scholar for the next four years."
The Victor Murdock journalism scholarship is awarded by a committee of Elliott School faculty and previous Murdock scholarship recipients each year to one high school student who plans to study journalism.
Competitors submit applications and samples of their work, and finalists are invited to campus for interviews and a writing test.
It is one of the Elliott School's oldest and largest scholarships, dating back to 1973.

I have a question about the BPMN notation. Does anybody know if interrupting/non-interrumpting events can be for throwing and catching. The specification (v2.0) doesn't define this explicitly (or maybe I missed it) but it seems it only defines the icon for catching the event.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the use that events attached to the border of an activity have.
If I had to take a guess I would say that it is only catching since events attached to the border of an activity are catching things that happen inside subprocesses or activities. Things that happen outside the scope of the activity or subprocess do not influence what can happen inside it.
Thanks for your help.

Pete Blackshaw | May 2, 2006 | Comments
Where's that critical moment of experience that makes feedback and word of mouth coalesce?
What's the right time or context to unleash word of mouth or, better yet, consumer-generated media (CGM)? More important, what tactics will increase the odds that CGM works for you, not against you?
Let's start by parachuting into my beloved hometown of Pasadena, CA, which I recently visited on vacation with my wife and twins. We were taking the bambinos on a beautiful stroll through the neighborhood and decided to chill for a bit at the local Peet's Coffee & Tea.
This particular Peet's had an unmistakable energy, fortified by a diverse mix of local residents and brainy Caltech students and accented with the sumptuous smell of both Peet's dark roast and Noah's bagels in the store next door.
Toward the end of a thoroughly enjoyable experience, my wife and I noticed a prominent bulletin board packed with color photographs. The photos were all taken by Peet's patrons, an exercise made simple with the presence of a good ol' fashioned Polaroid instant camera (attached to a wire, of course).
Turns out, this was part of Peet's 40th anniversary. The fast-growing coffee chain had a slew of events planned to dial-up patron participation. Yes, I said "participation."
It clearly worked in our case. Without skipping a beat, we proudly took a photo of our two little bambinos, wrote a small "we love Peet's" note on it, and posted it at the very top of the bulletin board. (Actually, we took an extra photo as a souvenir, but please don't tell anyone!)
We also filled out a "Tell Us About Yourself" card and posted that next to the photo. Not surprisingly, we told just about everyone about our contribution, encouraging others to drop by Peet's to check out our adorable photo. On top of that, I'm now mentioning it in my column.
Finding the Marketing Ex-Spot
Peet's created a wonderful example of how marketers can actually influence CGM, and this particular execution stands in stark contrast to other, less successful "create CGM" efforts by top brands.
On one level, Peet's program builds on a very simple emotion (brand love). It took full advantage of what I'll now officially call the ex-spot. The ex-spot is that critical moment of experience that makes feedback and word of mouth slide off your tongue like kids on a waterslide. It is always well-timed; piggybacks on the great things we love about products, services, and brands; and is never -- I repeat, never -- forced.
A big reason so many marketers fail in word-of-mouth marketing programs is they embark on programs well outside the ex-spot. They push messages that are out of context with the actual customer or brand experience. Peet's dramatically simplified the equation: it empowered the consumer right in the store. Under such circumstances, patrons don't have to be seduced, overly enticed, or propped up with shills.
Turns out, this particular program has been a smashing success. Participation has been off the charts. Christine Lansing, Peet's CMO and a former marketing executive at both Hershey's and Procter & Gamble, explained, "These albums have been a huge hit. Within a couple of days, they've been filled with pictures, notes, drawings, etc. People want to be part of it... and they certainly have something to say!"
Comparison With General Motors' CGM
Let's contrast Peet's campaign with General Motors' recent effort to encourage consumers to create their own Chevy Tahoe ad as part of an "Apprentice" co-promotion. The promotion got tons of participation and plenty of blog and media attention. I personally gave it big points on my blog for being bold, brave, and experimental.
But in so many ways, the brand completely missed the ex-spot. Most ads were created completely out of context, and eligibility for participation veered far from consumers who actually use or experience the products. It's almost as if nonregistered voters were given equal access as registered ones for the ad campaign.
Relevant experience matters, and it is a core driver of the trust equation in word-of-mouth advertising, as so many WOMMA conferences and case studies make clear. A big reason my blog dedicated to hybrid cars is so credible and viral is that I'm a bona fide hybrid car driver. I speak with a combination of "passion" and "authority" (I'm borrowing those words from Robert Scoble), and that drives credibility.
The key to CGM is figuring out how to surf existing brand satisfaction and evangelism. What if GM made a more concerted effort to capitalize on the ex-spot? What if:
Perhaps GM pursued a combination of these tactics, but campaign awareness disproportionately centered around "anyone can express themselves" venues.
Where Else Can I Find the Ex-Spot?
The location of the ex-spot varies by brand and category, but here are a few hints:
Bear in mind, this is less about exclusivity than plain and simple targeting. Every brand has passionate, highly loyal users. They'll jump through hoops for you. The future of marketing in an age of consumer control is how to reach such consumers at those critical inflection points when they're in the brand groove.
Peet's put some real caffeine on that notion and nurtured high-quality CGM right smack in the ex-spot! GM had the right idea, but the end result was akin to Andrew Jackson's inaugural party, when he opened up the White House to everyone.
Know your ex-spot!

I'm wondering - pure guess - if you have a transmission cooler line that has failed and is leaking fluid at the radiator? Low transmission fluid could cause poor shifting and transmission performance...as well as the smoke under the hood.

That would be my guess also, unless the temp was creeping up causing the engine to start lacking power. Need to inspect for the cause of the smoke first.

We all love Android, and we also love when Google releases a new iteration of our favorite mobile OS. Sometimes, though, even Google screws up a bit, and Android 4.2 is looking to be one of the most bug-ridden releases since Honeycomb. And, let's be honest: 4.2 isn't exactly the leap that 2.3 to 3.0 was, either. Chances are, if you're on Android 4.2, you've experienced at least one of the issues here.
Google has been on an update roll lately, with Voice, YouTube, Google+, Calendar, and Music all getting updates in the last week. I've been dutifully doing teardowns on all of them, but there's been no hidden goodies, and thus, no articles. There was a Play Store update this weekend, however, and that does have some interesting, new stuff in it, so we're back!
Google+ App Reviews
Android is quickly becoming the Google+ OS.
Update: Amazon just updated the deals and dropped many of the prices down for customers looking to upgrade. For example, the RAZR M is now also just a penny for those renewing.
If you're looking to abandon your existing carrier and move to Big Red, then the RAZR M is a great phone to choose for the transition. And now you can grab it from Amazon Wireless for only a penny (Black, White).
Just one week after bringing Play Music to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK, Google has reached a major licensing deal with Armonia, a music licensing initiative that represents an alliance of publishers from across Europe. The deal will give Play customers access to Armonia's 5.5 million musical works licensed across over 30 countries.
For whatever reason, there are some users who absolutely can't stand Android 4.2's new lockscreen features, like widgets and the left-to-right swipe gesture that opens the camera. There's even a list of "bugs" with lockscreen widgets over at reddit, citing everything from simple widget removal to the glowing rectangle when the device is unlocked as reasons to hate the feature.
If you fall into that camp and wish you could just get rid of the new tweaks, we have good news: there's a new app that lets you do just that.
In ancient Greece, Apollo was—among other things—the god of music. In ancient 2012, Apollo became the official music app for CyanogenMod. It was gorgeous, functional, and completely customizable, as you might expect from the world's most popular ROM. At the time, we were told that this lovely bit of software would be coming to the Market "in the coming weeks." That was back when we still called it the Market.
The HTC One X was (and still is) a fantastic device thanks to its solid hardware, excellent build quality, and stunning display. But it's a little long in the tooth, partially because the newest high-end smartphones have both quad-core CPUs and LTE, and partially because in the smartphone world, anything that's 7 months old is (unfortunately) outdated.
That brings us to the HTC One X+, which is more of a mid-cycle refresh than an all-new model.
If you're looking to save a hundred bucks or so on the powerhouse Optimus G from LG on either AT&T or Sprint, Amazon Wireless is the place to be. The company just dropped the price of the device for both carriers down to $99, which is a fairly substantial savings for such a high-end device, especially compared to the $199 that both Sprint and AT&T are asking.
For those who may not be aware, the Optimus G has the same hardware guts as the Nexus 4:
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 quad-core at 1.5GHz
- GPU: Adreno 320
- Network Compatibility: AT&T: GSM quad-band with LTE, Sprint: CDMA with LTE
- Operating System: Android 4.0.4 with Optimus UI 3.0
- Display: 4.7" TrueHD IPS+ 768x1280 (320DPI, 15:9)
- Memory: 2GB RAM / 16/32GB storage (depends on model)
- Cameras: 1.3MP front, 8/13MP rear (depends on model)
- Battery: 2100mAh, non-removable
- NFC: Yes
- Ports / Expandable Storage: microUSB / microSD (AT&T model only)
- Thickness: 8.45mm
- Weight: 145g
As noted above, the big difference between the two is in the area of storage: the AT&T model comes equipped with 16GB on-board, as well as a 16GB microSD card; whereas the Sprint version has 32GB with no microSD card slot.

In fact, in the last 8 games he exceeded 50 yards once. These mere fact alone may lead one to call Simpson an inadequate #2 receiver, justifiably so.
But to criticize Jerome's inability to step up or to provide Dalton with another target is unfair. Lets look at the receptions from previous weeks:
STL; : ROME: 5 targets, 2 rec
AJ: 8 targets, 6 rec
Gresh: 5 Targets, 3 rec
HOU: ROME: 3 targets, 2 rec
AJ: 7 targets, 5 rec
Caldwell: 3 targets, 2 rec
Gresh: 5 targets, 3 rec
PITT: ROME: 2 targets, 0 rec
AJ: 11 targets, 6 rec
Leonard: 4 targets, 4 rec
Gresh: 7 targets, 3 rec
CLE: ROME: 4 targets, 2 rec
AJ: 4 targets, 3 catches
Ced: 5 targets, 4 catches
Gresh: 8 targets, 5 catches
BAL: ROME: 12 targets, 8 catches
Hawk: 7 targets, 4 catches
Caldwell: 8 targets, 3 catches
Gresh: 6 targets, 3 catches
Its proven by these stats that Jerome is simply not seeing the targets that a #2 receiver should be getting. Jerome is seeing 1 target every 9.4 snaps, which is less than Caldwell who is seeing 1 target every 7.8 snaps. Also, Jerome did step up during the Baltimore game when AJ was out, so the talent and reliability is definitely there.
I don't want to point fingers and start saying its Dalton's fault for not giving rome more looks but its clear that it is not fair to crap on Simpson for not doing his job when he is seeing a very limited amount of targets.

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is planning to roll out a meat inspection program nationwide that will allow pork plants to use their own inspectors, but it has a history of producing contaminated meat at American and foreign plants.
The Washington Post reported on Monday that documents and interviews showed that a plan to allow hog plants to replace federal USDA inspectors with their own private employees had produced "serious lapses that included failing to remove fecal matter from meat" in three of the five plants that had participated in a pilot program for more than a decade.
And plants using the same procedure in Australia and Canada also ran into problems. In one case, a Canadian company had to recall 8.8 million pounds of beef products for E. coli contamination.
Most recently, New Zealand had been given permission to export meat to the United States from plants using the inspection procedure. But government inspectors in New Zealand have already warned that the meat produced at those plants is contaminated at times.
"Tremendous amounts of fecal matter remain on the carcasses," Ian Baldick, an inspectors union representative, told the Post. "Not small bits, but chunks."
In 1997, the USDA allowed five pork plants to participate in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point-based Inspection Models Project (HIMP), which industry lobbyists claimed would accelerate processing times while cutting down on the number of government meat inspectors. After 15 years, a USDA inspector general report found last spring that three of the five plants in the program were some of the worst in the country.
A separate Government Accountability Office (GAO) report last month said that it would be difficult to recommend rolling out the plan nationwide.
The USDA is moving forward with rolling out the new meat inspection procedures after the evaluation is complete in the spring of 2014. A similar plan for chicken and turkey plants is expected to be finalized later this year.
