Working the Meal Plan at Your CollegeWhen I told my friends I'd paid for a meal plan at UGA, they were not shy about expressing their doubts. "You'll get bored of the food within a month," they warned me. What they hadn't known, aside from the 75 national awards that UGA has won for its campus food service, is that making the most of a meal plan ...Published about 3 years ago |
How NOT To Take A College Road TripThe weekend college road trip is an art. It requires all of the participants to be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. When executed properly, the college road trip is a success. When executed poorly, it looks a little like what happened with me last month. "Oh, dear," you gasp, "whatever shall we do to ...Published over 2 years ago |
Principle MattersWe have once again been bamboozled by so-called leaders in whom we have placed our trust. Many of us have fallen into yet another trap, and we have come to realize that it is our responsibility to control the process in order to make our opportunities bountiful.

Keeping Score on CollegesIntroducing the College Scorecard, a tool designed by the U.S. Department of Education to provide data and information to prospective students and their families about a college's affordability and value.

The College Scorecard includes five areas with key pieces of information ...Published over 1 year ago |
Opening Doors to Learning OpportunitiesDid you always long for field trips when you were a kid? I did. It seemed that field trips took too long to come around and never lasted long enough. When I was younger, my favorite field trips were the ones that sparked my imagination for weeks. As nontraditional students, we can take advantage of learning opportunities all around us. It's ...Published over 7 years ago |
How to Stay MotivatedWhen school first begins in the fall, everyone is excited. A new semester, quarter, or term brings about feelings of a fresh start, or new beginning. Most students feel highly motivated to pass their classes with all A's. That 4.0 grade point average looks within reach. As time goes on, however, some of that motivation begins to wane. Perhaps you didn't ...Published almost 2 years ago |
Safety First: Tips for Staying Safe at CollegeCollege can be one of the most memorable times in a person's life. Learning new subjects often helps a student to see the world differently.

A Field Guide for First-Generation College StudentsAlthough more than thirty percent of freshmen entering college in the United States are first-generation college students, many are reluctant to identify themselves as such.

Roommate EtiquetteSitting in the dining hall and eating ice cream at 10 PM one night, my roommate excused herself from the table to get some cereal.

The Ups and Downs of the Pre-College RushI am lucky to have found my dream school as quickly as I did. I am lucky to have been accepted into that college.

Take Caution (Literally) While Choosing a CollegeOne of the most important issues in choosing a college is often the most overlooked: the safety and security of your collegiate environment.

Dogs are surprisingly adept at sniffing out lung cancer, results from a pilot project in Austria published on Wednesday suggested, potentially offering hope for earlier, life-saving diagnosis.
"Dogs have no problem identifying tumour patients," said Peter Errhalt, head of the pulmonology department at Krems hospital in northern Austria, one of the authors of the study.
The test saw dogs achieve a 70-percent success rate identifying cancer from 120 breath samples, a result so "encouraging" that a two-year study 10 times larger will now take place, Errhalt said.
The results echo anecdotal evidence of odd canine behaviour when around cancer sufferers and are backed up by the results of similar small studies, including one by German scientists in 2011.
The ultimate aim is not however to have canines stationed in hospitals, but for scentists to identify what scents the dogs are detecting, explained Michael Mueller from the Otto Wagner Hospital in Vienna, who collaborated on the pilot project.
This in turn could help scientists reproduce in the long term a kind of "electronic nose" — minus the wagging tail — that could help diagnose lung cancer in the early stages, thereby dramatically improving survival rates, Mueller said.

Recent Bald Head Island Reviews
Our first trip to BHI, and we hope to go back! The villa was perfect for our family of 5 (kids ages 12, 11, 8)- plenty of space, clean and beautifully decorated and it had everything we could have needed ( and more!) The 2 outdoor decks were great, and the outdoor shower came in very handy after a day at the beach. The villa had lovely views of the ocean, the lagoon ( we were lucky enough to see an alligator!) and of the golf course. The bikes were a lot of fun, and the surrounding area was safe so the kids could go for rides on their own. The membership to the BHI club was a big plus! We utilized the pool, fitness center and played golf. Both the beach and club are walking distance, but certainly more fun to drive the golf carts. The owners were so helpful, answered all our questions and provided us with great recommendations. They also provided information regarding car service/ ferry/ tram which helped make our travels smoother. The island is beautiful, one of the most relaxing trips we've had! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
Best of Bald Head!
We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay at Shoalmates! This home is so spacious, comfortable and offered everything we needed for a fabulous family time at the beach. We were so impressed with how this generous space lived. We had plenty of room for our kids and their guests. The master was quite large and felt like a private retreat, even with a houseful of kids. We enjoyed the large master bath and star gazing from our own private deck. The kitchen was well-supplied and allowed us to prepare and eat meals all together. Sometimes we sat at the island, sometimes on the screen porch and sometimes enjoyed the beautiful dining room. We opened the sliding doors and enjoyed beach breezes all day. The house provided a lot of flexibility. The decor is beautiful with a fun, beachy flair. We enjoyed the pretty furnishings in every room. The kids loved being able to watch DVD's in the bunk room or listen to music and play games in the family room. Every part of this house was functional and well thought out. With the two-golf carts and great central location on the island, we could easily do everything we wanted to do. We would definitely love to come again!
Loved it!
What a wonderful place! From the smell of jasmine around the front door to the beautiful deck with the perfect view, this house had every extra. It is surrounded by lovely trees so you feel so in touch with nature yet the deck provides plenty of sun. In many places we've stayed in the past, the main living area didn't have enough sitting room for the entire group. In this home, there is a huge, comfortable sectional leather sofa that fits nearly our entire crew. 3 golf carts, bikes and crate & barrel dishes! Very nice.

Former Dorman High standout Patrick DeStefano will no longer play football at Clemson, the university announced Wednesday night.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said that DeStefano, an All-American offensive lineman in high school, has a career ending shoulder problem that will require him to quit playing football.
"I am very disappointed to announce that Patrick DeStefano will no longer play football here," said Swinney. "Over the last couple of weeks he has had a problem with 'stingers' and they just weren't going away. He had a lot of tests on his neck and shoulders, had discussions with doctors and decided it was best for his future that he give up football."
DeStefano signed with Clemson and red-shirted during the 2012 season. He played in Clemson's first two games of the season this year against Georgia and South Carolina State. He was rated as the nation's 66th best player coming out of Dorman and played in the annual North Carolina-South Carolina Shrine Bowl.
"I really hate to hear this because I think he was on his way to becoming a great player," Swinney said. "He was really doing well. It is a shame, but it is the right decision."
Swinney said that DeStefano will remain on scholarship and be part of the program.

As I sit here writing this column, snow is swirling outside my window. More snow. Seriously? We have had more winter these first weeks of 2014 than we've had in the last couple of years throughout the entire season, I think. And I am ready to become a snowbird.
I hear some of the readers thinking, "It's winter and it's northern Indiana, that's what we expect so I should quit my whining." But whining makes you feel better sometimes, OK?
I used to love winter storms when I was a little girl and it meant snow days off of school and snow angels and snowmen and being Queen of the Mountain of snow piled on the sidewalks.
I stopped being a fan of winter when I moved to the Midwest and dealt with subzero regular temperatures and wind chills that no human should have to endure. I stopped being a fan when it meant I had to drive in it, feeling like I was risking my life.
The good thing about working from home is that, just like now, I can be working and watching the snow outside my window and not have to go and drive in it. Sometimes I do, though, to cover meetings, to do interviews, to demonstrate my products for my candle business.
And it's sometimes hard to make the call as to whether you go, or you reschedule. So when Winter Storm Ion hit in the first week of the New Year, I was trying to determine whether to carry on with a small group meeting at church that was planned. I really didn't want to cancel it because we were also planning for a women's retreat this weekend and time was running short.
I am a winter wimp so I was trying to be adult, responsible and objective in making the decision. So I told some people that I would base my decision on this criteria: If churches, libraries and colleges started closing, I would cancel.

RFC 1034 described the CNAME record, originally. There may be some RFCs that obselete it, but I'm not sure off the top of my head.
There are specific systems that internally use DVDs and migrate the data to new media every so often. Look up digital preservation. Since the storage requirements rise pretty quickly, it is advisable to switch to a newer, bigger type of media every few years anyways.

Keeping the data in a format like PDF is probably safe, because there are Free tools to read it.

what's the difference between PCI and SAS 70 compliance when I am shopping for a hosting company to stick my servers in?
Disclaimer - I work for a hosting provider that is SAS 70 type II compliant and a PCI DSS validated service provider. PCI DSS is a specific set of technical requirements that must be met. SAS 70 is an audit of your controls and procedures.
I'd suggest not trying to solve AWS's problem yourself. Ask your auditor if he will accept a SAS 70 Type 2 audit report of AWS regarding PCI compliance: this means that an external auditor audits AWS for PCI security concerning AWS clients and issues a report. Your auditor then basically rubberstamps it. If the auditor isn't willing to accept this report, ...

Our solution: Scan to PDF -> Backup to Tape We have a document scanner, does ~30 pages/min and produces OCRed PDF files. We back those up to Tape (LTO4 specifically) which has a shelf life of 50 to 100 years (finding a tape drive might be difficult in the time frame, but there are data recovery places that will still recover 8" floppy disks around).
I don't think they regulate that, presumably the office would have downtime procedures for capturing records on paper that would later be entered in the system after the upgrade is complete. HIPAA doesn't care if the system is up or not, just that you can produce the records when required, and that they are kept securely.

Open Letter to George W. Bush - by Michael Moore
Dear Mr. Bush:
I read that you have begun your summer vacation in Crawford. Summer vacation is a great time to see a movie - that's why so many blockbusters are released at this time of year. Unfortunately, my new movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," has not been shown in Crawford (and didn't open 'til this weekend in Waco).
I write to invite you to the inaugural showing of "Fahrenheit 9/11" in Crawford at the Crawford Peace House, Wednesday, July 28 at dusk. I am very much looking forward to this Crawford premiere because, after all, so much of the film is set there in the months leading up to 9/11. Our Crawford premier will give us a chance to serve up some chips, salsa and a whole lot of truth - along with a film that I believe is all hat and all cattle, all sizzle and all steak.
If you graciously accept my invitation, I will also have the chance to thank you personally for being one of my Axis of Actors who star in the film (along with your Vice President and your Attorney General). And let's face it -- you've got the funniest lines in the film! We may even have an audience reading of "My Pet Goat" to celebrate "Fahrenheit 9/11" breaking through the $100 million mark at the box office.
Thank you for considering this invitation, and enjoy your vacation, for however long it may last.
Michael Moore

The U.S. economy continues to grow, but it's a relatively mature market. Europe may be past sovereign debt crisis, but the recession remains fierce.
So for big growth, corporate chieftains, along with investors, are turning to China. The world's No. 2 economy — still huge untapped market in infrastructure, retail and consumer goods.
China's economic growth perked up in Q4, with manufacturing expanding at the fastest pace in two years.
View Enlarged Image
Here are what some of the biggest U.S. companies have said about China in their quarterly earnings reports and conference calls.
General Electric (GE)
The industrial giant on Jan. 18 reported better-than-expected profit and sales, with strong industrial demand in emerging markets, particularly China. Revenue from China grew 19% in 2012 to just under $6 billion on increased demand for jet engines and medical equipment.
Jeff Immelt said on the post-earnings conference call: "I'd say we definitely saw China strengthen again at the end of the year. The big drivers of China continue to be healthcare and aviation. We believe that China momentum will likely continue into 2013."
Immelt also noted a "knock-on" effect from China growth spurring growth in Africa, Brazil and other parts of the world.
Starbucks (SBUX)
The coffee cafe giant reported mixed overall quarterly results Thursday night, but it's still enthusiastic about growth in China.
Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz said: "China remains Starbucks' most significant market opportunity in (Asia), and is well on its way to becoming our second-largest global market in 2014"
"Sales at established shops were up 11% in the China/Asia Pacific region"
John Culver is president of Starbucks Coffee China and Asia Pacific, added that "more and more of our (China) growth is coming from the new store base, and less so from comp sales."
Apple (AAPL)
The tech titan late Wednesday reported its first quarterly profit decline in nearly 10 years, while sales growth slowed slightly more than expected. Apple hailed its strong China growth — though some analysts said it could and should be doing better there.
CEO Time Cook said that Apple's revenue in Greater China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, was "$7.3 billion in the quarter. So, this is incredibly high, it's up over 60% year-on-year."
"We experienced strong iPhone growth in each of our geographic segments most notably Greater China where iPhone sales more than doubled year-over-year."
McDonald's (MCD)
The fast-food giant is suffering along with many other China eateries over a chicken health scare. But McDonald's remains upbeat longer term.
Sanitary violations have prompted Russian authorities to close a dozen McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) restaurants and, reportedly, to inspect more than 100 locations of the fast-food chain. The firm said that it plans to appeal the decision. The closings have raised concerns that geopolitical tensions ...
Allegations of sanitary violations prompted Russia's food-safety watchdog to shut down a dozen McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) restaurants and counting as of Friday, up from eight on Thursday, and over 100 locations are reportedly under inspection. While Russian regulators cite health code violations, some ...
The new Keurig has been out for less than a week but it has already lost its exclusive aura. Mother Parker's Tea & Coffee has cracked the Keurig code with its new coffee capsules. The RealCup pods by Mother Parker's will be compatible with the Keurig Green Mountain (NASDAQ:GMCR) 2.0 brewer, which ...
Workday lived up to its reputation as a high-growth company late Wednesday, reporting a 74% jump in Q2 revenue that topped Wall Street expectations. The maker of cloud HR, financial and recruiting software also gave Q3 sales guidance that beat views as the company continues to successfully ...
McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) is still a target of food safety checks in Russia as watchdog group Rospotrebnadzor temporarily shut down another location for alleged sanitary violations. Shares fell 1 cent to 94.44.
El Pollo Loco's (NASDAQ:LOCO) first earnings report as a public company may show how much it can ride the fast-casual and "better for you" tailwinds that have made Chipotle (NYSE:CMG) megapopular. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the chicken chain, which had its IPO in July, to earn 16 ...
After the big splash that it made when it last reported in June, will fashion-brand owner Vince Holding impress again when it reports quarterly results early Wednesday? Investors certainly seem positive. Shares this past week jumped nearly 5% to 36.30, putting Vince (NYSE:VNCE) 81.5% above its ...
Labor Day weekend means a break from the hustle and bustle. But if you're looking to perk up your portfolio, take a look at these five movers and shakers in the energy business on today's IBD 50 list.

John Lamont MSP wishes Mania a 'speedy recovery'
Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire MSP John Lamont has congratulated Ryan Mania on winning the Grand National, and has wished him a speedy recovery after his Hexham fall.
The 23-year-old from Galashiels, who is a former student of Borders College, became the first Scottish jockey to win the National since 1896.
– John Lamont MSP, Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire
"I'm sure that not many people expected a jockey riding in his first Grand National to win, but that's exactly what Ryan Mania managed to achieve.
"It is a hugely significant achievement that makes him not only one of the youngest winners of the national ever, but also as the first Scot to win it in living memory.
"That Ryan also has such strong links to the Borders, and I was cheering loudly as he crossed the finish line on Saturday."
"My thoughts and I am sure those of all Borders residents are with him at this moment and I wish him a speedy recovery."

May 2, 2010 — Deadly twisters blew through central Arkansas on Saturday, killing at least three people and seriously injuring 25 others.
And they just keep coming.
Fatal tornadoes twisted their way through the Southern US on Friday and continued into Saturday.
At least three people were killed yesterday, after their mobile homes were completely demolished by the storms, in Van Buren County, north of Little Rock.
So far there have been at least 15 tornadoes sightings from Saturday alone.
Along with homes, trees were uprooted, power lines were downed and debris has littered the roads.
Meanwhile, the violent storms have given way to severe flooding in Tennessee on Saturday, killing at least five people. Floodwaters overtook roads, highways and home in and around the Nashville area. Several counties in Arkansas and Tennessee continue to be under a tornado watch.
Buckets of rain have swept the state in the last 12 hours -- the National Weather Service recorded between 152 to 254 mm across various areas. The flooding is being considered 'very dangerous' and according to Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, 'one of the most severe rain events Nashville has ever experienced.'
Residents are being urged to remain at home and stay off roads. At least 2,000 people were displaced when two levees broke near Memphis. Dozens of vehicles were submerged in several metres of a swift-moving current.
Roads have become impassable -- the water has turned them into raging rivers. Many homes, vehicles and entire neighbourhoods are currently underwater.
The rain is expected to continue into Sunday morning for Tennessee, and floodwaters should crest late this evening. Mississippi and Alabama are also bracing for potential thunderstorms and tornadoes throughout Sunday. Southern Illinois and southern Kentucky are also at risk for severe weather.
The southern US has been no stranger to severe weather over the past week. Several states have been ripped apart by tornadoes and heavy rains. A week ago, at least 10 people died when a huge twister stormed through rural Mississippi Saturday, and another two deaths were reported in Alabama.

This brings us to speed. Most of what systems can handle is limited by the types of rendering and the total number of objects a particular scene can support before a slideshow ensues. AFR is one way to maximize the total number of frames the graphics subsystem can push out. 3Dfx's Scan Line Interleave was a first step into this direction; the first line of the frame is rendered by the first core and the second is rendered by the second and so on. Quad SLI takes this to the next level.
The fastest way Quad SLI can render frames is by having every fourth frame rendered by a single GPU. This mode is called 4-way AFR. The first frame to be rendered is managed by the first GPU (GPU0 in the diagram below) while the next is rendered by the second and so on.
A hybrid of image quality and speed is what is referred to as "AFR of SFR". The first two GPUs work on the odd frames (1,3,5,...) and the even frames are rendered by the second set of GPUs.

James Robert "The Karaoke Man" Campos, 63
James Robert "The Karaoke Man" Campos, 63, passed in his home on November 2, 2013 after prolonged illness.
James was born on May 29, 1950 in Sacramento, California to Angel and Margaret Campos. James was one of five children, Marc, Yolanda, Tammy, and Greg. James spent his early years in Sacramento where he was very proud of his job of delivering the Sacramento Bee. As a young adult, James traveled throughout California doing varying jobs from driving limousines to working for the production company Bill Graham Presents. This position allowed James to fall deeper in love with music and performance arts. His first son, Alexander Nicolas was born in October 1993 in Los Angeles, California. This child died of a sudden illness in July 1998.
In October of 1994, in helping move a friend to Alliance, James came to Nebraska and decided to stay because of his love of the people and the area. He met Rita Behm and they were married April 10, 1995. From that union, two children Nicholas Alexander and Jacob Anthony were born. The boys remained the focus of his love for the rest of his life.
James was larger than life. He loved to cook and entertain for family and friends, create vests and ties for his performances, and sew meaningful items as gifts. His wizardry as a mechanic was well known by his friends, and James often stopped to help at a moment's notice when they anyone was in need. James love of camping and fishing was passed on to his sons who enjoyed the time learning from him. Whether it was spent in the great outdoors, or playing board games or videos, his sons and James enjoyed the time together. Most of all, James loved to laugh.
In addition to his sons, he is also survived by his brothers and sister, Marc Campos of Portland, OR, Gregg Campos and Tammy Campos of Sacramento, CA.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his son, Alexander Nicolas, his sister Yolanda, and his grandparents.
Memorial services will be Saturday, November 16, 2013 at Holy Rosary Catholic Church with Father Lou Nollette officiating. A portion of James ashes will be sent back to California to be with his family and the other portion will be interred in the Hemingford Cemetery immediately following the services. A Rosary will take place at Holy Rosary Catholic Church on November 15, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. A celebration of life will take place at Players immediately following the internment.

"Judge Bickel had a secretary named Gloria ... and she was a real fan of John Kennedy," Sykes says. "I was walking out the door to get my lunch, and she was collapsing and breathless. I asked what was the matter, and she said President Kennedy has been shot."
Baltimore also was a blue collar area back then. On the east side of Baltimore County, the now ghostly-still Sparrows Point was at its clanging peak, with more than 30,000 workers, among them LeRoy McClelland, Sr., then a 25-year-old tractor operator and union steward
He worked the 3 p.m.-to-11 p.m. shift at the tin mill, but remembers arriving early on Nov. 22, 1963, for shift relief. In the locker room, he heard a newsflash on the radio.

"If you could have been there, that stillness," McClelland says of the shock that silenced the locker room. "A lot of guys, they couldn't believe it. It happened, but it didn't happen."
Time passes
On Charles Street, a crowd of about 1,000 gathered for the installation of the Rt. Rev. Harry Lee Doll as the Episcopal bishop of Baltimore. His counterpart, Catholic Archbishop Lawrence J. Shehan, likely would have attended the ceremony — they would partner on local civil rights efforts later on, taking much heat from detractors.
But on Nov. 22, Shehan was in Rome, so an associate pastor, the Rev. Paul Cook, then 31 years old, was among a dozen Catholic clerics there to represent him. The ceremony was at 11 a.m., and it was only after Cook emerged that he learned the news.
"We went from celebration and ecumenism to the death of the president," says Cook, now a monsignor and pastor of St. Joseph's in Cockeysville. "It was kind of a blur."
Cook remembers silently walking several blocks with another priest to his own church, the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. Already, the phones were ringing continually: "People were calling to find out if there would be a Mass," he says. There would be many Masses, from the regularly scheduled ones to requiems for the president, the first Catholic to hold the office.
Sister Kathleen Marie Engers, then teaching drama and speech at what is now Notre Dame of Maryland University, remembers "exactly where I was, what was happening and whom I was with" when she learned of the assassination.
That year, Engers had just begun working on what would ultimately become the Pumpkin Theatre for children, now located in Owings Mills.
"We had a little theater here, and we had a workroom adjacent to the theater that was also where my office was," says Engers, now 88. "A student and I were standing by a table and talking, and somehow, whether the radio was on or someone came in, we found out President Kennedy had been shot."
At Pimlico Race Course, more than 9,400 had been enjoying the races when the news reached them.
On a recent visit, Howard "Gelo" Hall, 86, points toward the Hayward Avenue entrance as he recounts that day's events. Hall, who began working there as an exercise rider in the 1940s, rose to become a jockey's agent and fill multple track positions before retiring several years ago.
He remembers waiting for the bus to the track when a jockey's agent, Harold "Fats" Wiseman, drove by and gave him a lift. They were in the paddock area when news of the assassination began spreading, Hall says, followed soon afterward by general manager Charles "Chick" Lang's decision to cancel the remaining four races.
"It was a little cool. It was good racing weather," recalls Hall, who inherited his nickname from an older brother named Angelo. "Everyone was taking care of their horses, givng them the old comb and brush, the coats were shined, the tails, they had to be plaited. It was a delight to see.
"And then we heard, our president has been assassinated. Our dear president had been assassinated."
Hobbled a bit by arthritis, Hall doesn't get to Pimlico much, although when he does, he is showered with affection from trainers, security guards, office staff and seemingly everyone at the track. He knows everyone, and likely their parents and grandparents too, although many, such as his good friend Lang, are gone
"The years do pass," Hall muses, "don't they?"

NFC North: Joe Whitt Jr.
What to watch for: Packers-Seahawks
But that's old news, at least to the Packers, who have two preseason games and just three more practices remaining before final roster cuts are due Aug. 31.
Here are five things to watch for from the Packers' perspective:
1. Playing time for the starters: Coach Mike McCarthy has typically used the third preseason game as a dress rehearsal for the regular-season opener, playing his starters at least the full first half and resting them in the exhibition finale. This year could be different. McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson still have a long list of young players they want to see in extended game action to get a better evaluation. To do so, they might have to cut back on playing time for some of the starters. "I talked to Ted about some things, so once again we're trying to get as much information as we can," McCarthy said. "We want to play very well, we want to win the game, but we've got guys who have been injured the whole camp. We have guys who have been injured from the spring all the way through camp that are finally maybe playing."
2. Young receivers: Among the players McCarthy was referring to are rookie receivers Kevin Dorsey and Charles Johnson. Both missed most of training camp and the offseason program. Dorsey returned last week from a hamstring injury but did not play in Saturday's game at St. Louis. Johnson returned this week from a knee injury. The seventh-round draft picks were expected to challenge for the Nos. 4 and 5 receiver spots but have fallen way behind. "I think they have a good grasp of our offense, our concepts, what we do," receivers coach Edgar Bennett said this week. "But unfortunately, a big part of what we do is taking it from the classroom and going out on the practice field and working our fundamentals to improve, and that's the area that, unfortunately due to injury, they haven't been able to take full advantage of. Will they get some opportunities in these next two preseason games? We'll see."
3. Cornerback carousel: Casey Hayward was arguably the biggest playmaker for the Packers defense last season. As a rookie, he intercepted six passes while playing the slot position in the nickel package. He missed the first month of training camp because of a pulled hamstring he sustained while working out over the summer. During his absence, rookie Micah Hyde has played well in the slot position. Sam Shields and Davon House have manned the outside spots while Tramon Williams remains out with a knee injury. Hayward returned to practice this week and could see some action against the Seahawks. "You have Sam and House outside, Micah is right there, so [Hayward] is fourth right now," cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said. "So until Casey moves either him or House out of the way, he's not going to get as many reps. You have to be deserving of your reps, and really what you did last year is last year."
4. Harris' return: Despite the emergence of rookie Eddie Lacy, McCarthy insists that DuJuan Harris remains his starting running back. Harris might get one chance to prove that. He will make his preseason debut after finally returning from a knee injury he sustained in the offseason. Harris, who was signed to the practice squad in October and wasn't promoted to the roster until Dec. 1, finished last season as the starter and averaged 4.6 yards per carry over the final four regular-season games. "He did great things for us, I thought, down the stretch in the last part of the season," running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said. "Unfortunately, he had the injury there in OTAs that kept him out of the first part of training camp, but all that being said, he did his job when he was asked to do it last year and he's going to continue to get the first chances to do it now that he's back."
5. Crosby … again: It wouldn't be a Packers preseason game if there wasn't some drama surrounding the kickers. Just when Mason Crosby looked like his struggles were behind him after he made all three of his kicks against the Rams, he had a horrible practice Wednesday. He missed three straight field goals before finally knocking a fourth through the uprights. Crosby was scheduled to kick only one or two balls, but special-teams coach Shawn Slocum made him keep kicking until he finally made one. Just one day earlier, Slocum had praised Crosby. "I thought Mason kicked the ball well all week, and he did it in the game and did it again yesterday," Slocum said Tuesday. All eyes will be on Crosby to see if he falters again and re-opens the door for challenger Giorgio Tavecchio to beat him out.
On the Packers' highly regarded assistants
We noted that the Oakland Raiders wanted to interview secondary coach/cornerbacks Joe Whitt Jr. for their defensive coordinator position. It's not clear if the Packers granted permission, but ultimately the Raiders hired former Stanford assistant Jason Tarver for the position.
Tight ends coach Ben McAdoo has been pursued for several jobs, according to Jason La Canfora of NFL.com, but the Packers have blocked him from two interviews. La Canfora reports that both the Miami Dolphins (coached by former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wanted to speak with him about their offensive coordinator jobs.
There had been some speculation that the Packers would promote McAdoo to offensive coordinator, but that job has gone to quarterbacks coach Tom Clements. The Packers haven't announced yet whether Clements will double as the quarterbacks coach as well. Regardless, you can add McAdoo to the list of Packers assistants who have built positive reputations around the league.
By my count, seven Packers assistants were either interviewed or pursued for promotions elsewhere this offseason. To this point, Philbin has been the only coach to depart.
Joe Whitt: Latest Packers coach in demand
Cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt is reportedly a candidate for the Oakland Raiders' defensive coordinator job, bringing the total to at least five Packers assistants who have been sought after for at least seven different jobs in the past three weeks. New Raiders coach Dennis Allen had been pursuing Greg Manusky for the job, but as my AFC West colleague Bill Williamson points out, Manusky is expected to join the Indianapolis Colts instead.
Whitt, 33, is one of two defensive assistants who survived the Packers' staff overhaul after the 2008 season. Packers coach Mike McCarthy promoted him from quality control coach to his current role, where he has received credit for his work with young cornerbacks Tramon Williams and Sam Shields.
His presumed connection to the Raiders is general manager Reggie McKenzie, a longtime Packers executive.
Despite the attention, the only Packers assistant to depart thus far is offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, who is now the Miami Dolphins' head coach.
Black and Blue all over: Harvin to return
Via the Star Tribune, Childress said the "process is not over yet" and that the Vikings are "working vigorously to try to address [the issue]." That suggests Harvin is still having some lingering effects but feels well enough to resume practicing.
Migraines have afflicted Harvin since he was a child, but they have occurred with exceptional frequency and intensity during his first NFL season. By nature, the onset and duration of the episodes are largely unpredictable.
Continuing around the NFC North:
- Minnesota owner Zygi Wilf met privately with Gov. Tim Pawlenty to discuss the team's stadium issue. Here is the Associated Press account via the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
- Lori Nickel of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel profiles Green Bay cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt Jr., the team's youngest assistant at 31.
- Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette: "Ted Thompson, the general manager of the Green Bay Packers, needs to open the team's vault, pull out the corporate checkbook, grab his favorite gold-plated ballpoint pen, find the place where it says 'Pay to the order of' and fill in the name of safety Nick Collins."
- Packers linebacker Brad Jones has an economics degree but is a few credits short of a degree in astrophysics. That and more in this edition of Tuesdays with Wilde at ESPN Milwaukee.
- Virginia McCaskey, 86, still has her hands in the operations of the Chicago Bears, writes Mike Mulligan of the Chicago Sun-Times.
- Bears tailback Adrian Peterson doesn't expect to play in Chicago next season, writes Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune.
- Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press suggests the Lions should trade receiver Calvin Johnson.
- The Lions are trying to win their last three games of the season, not use them for evaluating players, writes Carlos Monarrez of the Free Press.
- The Lions sent out 400 to 500 complimentary tickets to former season-ticket holders for Sunday's game against Arizona, writes Tim Twentyman of the Detroit News.
Kevin Greene heading to Green Bay -- as a coach
Interesting move in Green Bay, where new defensive coordinator Dom Capers reportedly will hire one of his former players to coach outside linebackers in the Packers' new 3-4 scheme.
Kevin Greene, a two-time NFL sack leader, has agreed to join the coaching staff, according to Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. The move will shift assistant head coach Winston Moss to inside linebackers coach, according to the report. Moss previously had responsibility for all linebackers.
Greene was a highly successful player and is a believer in Capers' system. He has almost no experience as an NFL assistant, but Greene's presence will help Capers instill his vision of how a 3-4 outside linebacker should play.
Based on media reports and announcements, here is the way the Packers' new defensive coaching staff appears to be shaping up:
- Coordinator: Dom Capers
- Defensive line: Mike Trgovac
- Asst. head coach/inside linebackers: Winston Moss
- Outside linebackers: Kevin Greene
- Defensive backs: Joe Whitt Jr.
Hot stove: Green Bay Packers
Continuing our early offseason look at the NFC North ...
Green Bay Packers offseason analysis
- 2008 record: 6-10
- Coaching changes: Fired defensive coordinator Bob Sanders and all but two members of his staff. Hired Dom Capers as new coordinator and Mike Trgovac as defensive line coach. Joe Whitt Jr. likely will serve as defensive backs coach. Special teams coordinator Mike Stock retired. Replaced by assistant Shawn Slocum.
- Salary Cap: $19.09 million before adjustments and credits.
- Key exclusive rights free agent: Cornerback Tramon Williams.
- Restricted free agents: Safety Atari Bigby, safety Jarrett Bush, tight end Tory Humphrey, defensive end Jason Hunter, fullback John Kuhn, receiver Ruvell Martin.
- Unrestricted free agents: Defensive tackle Colin Cole, defensive end Michael Montgomery, offensive lineman Mark Tauscher.
- Free agency comment: The Packers have a lot of decisions to make. Except in cases of injury, Tauscher has been their right tackle since 2000. He is recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a complicating twist. Should the Packers wait on Tauscher or identify a replacement? Bigby, meanwhile, would have been on track for a long-term extension but injuries scuttled his 2008 season. He'll likely receive a one-year tender and have the opportunity to shop his value elsewhere. (The Packers could match any offer he gets.)
- Three biggest needs: (1) Personnel to match Capers' 3-4 scheme, including a run-stopping end and a pass-rushing outside linebacker; (2) Fortification of the offensive line, depending on Tauscher's status; (3) More depth at tailback to either back up or challenge Ryan Grant.
Black and Blue all over: Nolan to Green Bay?
Mike Nolan, the former San Francisco head coach who is also a four-time defensive coordinator, is the "clear front-runner" to be Green Bay's new defensive coordinator, according to Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy served as Nolan's offensive coordinator with the 49ers in 2005 and the two have maintained a close relationship. Nolan would replace Bob Sanders, who was fired over the weekend.
One of the more intriguing aspects of Nolan's candidacy is that he has, at times, run a 3-4 defense. He began his tenure in San Francisco using a 4-3 but gradually made the transition to a 3-4. Although his personal relationship with McCarthy is important, you have to assume there would be some level of 3-4 discussion in Green Bay if Nolan is in fact the next coordinator.
Meanwhile, Tom Silverstein and Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report that former defensive quality control coach Joe Whitt Jr. is likely to become the Packers' next secondary coach.
Continuing around the NFC North:
- Packers president Mark Murphy speaks to the Journal Sentinel about the Packers' coaching overhaul: "The way I viewed it, it's a pretty strong message that we want to win here. That's the priority."
- Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times reports the Bears have not yet made a formal offer to former Detroit coach Rod Marinelli.
- Former Lions defensive coordinator Joe Barry is actively campaigning to join the Bears' coaching staff, possibly as the replacement for fired linebackers coach Lloyd Lee. "If I had an opportunity to work for Lovie Smith, I would cherish it," Barry told Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune.
- Although it was originally reported that Dallas offensive coordinator Jason Garrett took his name out of the running for Detroit's head coaching job, the Lions have in fact interviewed him. Adam Schefter of NFL.com reports.
- Miami assistant head coach Todd Bowles is scheduled to interview Wednesday with Lions officials, according to Tom Kowalski of Mlive.com.
- Minnesota backup quarterback Gus Frerotte wants some clarity before agreeing to return to the Vikings next season, writes Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
- The unwillingness of Minnesota coach Brad Childress to admit mistakes is reminiscent of former coach Dennis Green, writes Patrick Reusse of the Star Tribune.
It's OK to be defensive this offseason
Six coaches are out in Green Bay, including the defensive coordinator. The Chicago Bears have paraded a long-time coaching friend through their facility. The Lions are looking for someone to lift them from the NFL's defensive dungeon. Minnesota will be searching for its eighth new coordinator in 11 years if their current defensive leader moves on.
It's clear that we Black and Bluers are in for a defensive overhaul in 2009. The Packers and Lions will each have new defensive coordinators, and possibly new schemes as well. The Bears desperately want former Lions coach Rod Marinelli to join their defensive staff as a trusted advisor, possibly as their new coordinator. And the Vikings could lose defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, who will interview for at least two head coaching jobs this week.
Altering the makeup of a coaching staff is an annual rite of the NFL offseason, but this year's intensity is unusual for one division -- especially when only one team has fired its head coach. But 2008 was an especially dreary year for three of your NFC North defenses, and so it's not surprising to learn that no one is standing pat.
Near-total defensive housecleaning in Green Bay
Yikes. The National Football Post, a Web site that has multiple connections inside the Green Bay organization, is reporting Monday morning that the Packers have fired every defensive coach with the exception of assistant head coach/linebackers Winston Moss.
The Post reported Sunday that defensive coordinator Bob Sanders was fired, news that has since been confirmed by the Wisconsin State Journal. But Monday's report means that defensive ends coach Carl Hairston, defensive tackles coach Robert Nunn, secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer, cornerbacks coach Lionel Washington and defensive quality control coach Joe Whitt Jr. are all out as well.
UPDATE (1:48 p.m. ET): Whitt was not among the six coaches the Packers named in a press release confirming the news.
Moss is a well-regarded assistant and has interviewed for the St. Louis Rams' open head coach position.
The Packers announced the retirement of special teams coordinator Mike Stock last week.
If these moves all come to fruition, McCarthy would have effected tremendous staff turnover following a 6-10 season. It also means that the candidates he has in mind as Sanders' replacement -- Mike Nolan and Jim Haslett are among those being mentioned -- are veteran coordinators who would want their own staff of defensive assistants. It's also possible that Moss will get the job but will not have to perform the dirty work of firing former colleagues.
Finally, McCarthy seems poised to enter 2009 with an entirely new set of coordinators in comparison to the group he hired three years ago. His original offensive coordinator, Jeff Jagodzinski, left after the 2006 season to take the head coaching job at Boston College.

This is probably relevant.
That outcry apparently had a serious effect at BioWare internally, as project lead Casey Hudson says the team has, "reprioritized [its] post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player."but we sure hope it means we won't see other DLC packs delayed or scrapped as a result.

March 29, 2013 8 Nights on the Magic
I didn't see that this cruise had a cruise meet so I am starting it up! Can't wait to meet more fellow cruisers.
We are a party of 6. For most of us we are repeat Disney Cruisers, but we are bringing two newbies.
Amy - me (5th Disney Cruise)
Brian - DH (5th)
Chris - DS14 (4th)
Andrew - DS8 (3rd)
Bernie - My Dad (1st)
Carol - Bonus Mom (1st)
Looking forward to this group growing!
I have added your thread to the cruise meet list :)
Have a great cruise!
I just booked this this morning!
I was planning on booking a few weeks ago but the DCl decided to change the Itinerary.:cool1:
I was waiting to find out the kids school schedule.
My kids love the fact that we will have 4 sea days now!
Not sure how they will feel about WDW. We just got back from a week trip to WDW and they said we did not need to go back. Probably hit Epcot for the day since it is their favorite park. Maybe pop over to MK for a bit.
We are repeat cruisers
Me- (Christi-) This will be my 6th DCl cruise. I went on EBTA in 2011 by myself and I am going on the DCl pixar cruise with my mom on 9/30
DH-( Erik) his 4th
DS (Matt 14) 4th
DD (Marina 12) 4th
Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Spring Break cruise...
This is our first Disney cruise. There are four of us, the kids are 8 & 6. Thank you for creating the forum, Amy.
Just booked our next cruise
Hi, we just booked our 5th Disney cruise for march out of Texas. Hope to see a fish extender list start. I am still trying to get ready for our exchange in oct on the wonder out of LA. Super excited for an 8 night cruise.
I am on the way to the airport in an hour. I a going on my 5th DCL cruise on sept. 30. It is on the Wonder. It is California coast.
Unfortunately, my husband and kids would not get off work or school. So, my mom is going with me. It is her first Disney cruise.
Post more soon.
Just got home from our California Coast cruise.
My mom had a great time!
My mom booked on board for this cruise. She booked my sisters and their families cabins, too.
My mom and I were on the 9/30-10/7 cruise.
We had a great time.:cool1:
Just booked our FIRST Disney cruise - SO excited! I would love to see a fish extender list started. I've seen it mentioned in several places, and know a bit about it, but would you mind explaining in detail how it works? I have seen them on Etsy. We're bringing our two granddaughters (14 and 7) and are looking forward to getting together with other cruisers.
How does a fish extender list get started?
Welcome Nanato2!:welcome:
FE are arranged by disboard meets or other groups. Disney is not involved.
Basically, you would deliver a small gift to each cabin that is signed up.
It is up to you whether you are doing per person, 1 per cabin, etc.
Over the course of the cruise you would deliver your gifts to the others in your group.
On my last few cruises, I have just used small canvas bags as my FE bag. It works great. No need to spend a ton of money. I have even seen people use gift bags.
In order to get one started, someone needs to volunteer to organize it. I will ask my husband. I am sure he will do it.
We will need to set a cut off date for signing up. It is usually 4-6 weeks or so before the cruise. That will give people enough time to make something ( if they are gong that route)
From past experience, I would recommend that if a group gets over 25 cabins, we split into 2 groups.
It would be awesome if your husband would volunteer to organize the FE list! This is our very first cruise and I don't want my girls to miss a thing. They would be so excited to participate in a FE exchange! Hopefully we will get good participation. I'll keep checking back for more posts from you. Does the FE group ever get together onboard to meet?
Most of the Dis meet and greet before the life boat drill. I would recommend 3pm in the Promende Lounge. It is a great way to faces together. Also, the kids can meet a few friends before they go into the clubs. All are welcome whether you are doing FE or not.
My daughter is looking forward to doing FE. I received a great one on the cruise I took in Sept. She wants to make the same thing.
Your granddaughters are going to have a terrific time.
My son, Matt, is 14. He will be going into the Edge. My daughter,Marina, is 12. She can't want to go into the Edge. She loved the Lab but she finally old enough to move up and is looking forward to something new.
