Report: Apple Might Finally Embrace NFC With the iPhone 6
After years of ignoring the promise of NFC, Apple may finally be ready to take the plunge.
One of the world's most prosperous companies, Apple is known for its iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac, MacBook, iTunes and App Store products and services. Based in Cupertino, California, the company has been helmed by CEO Tim Cook since August 2011, a month before former CEO – and co-founder – Steve Jobs died. Expect to see unbiased news, reviews and opinion on Apple and its products in Gizmodo UK's Apple hub here.
After years of ignoring the promise of NFC, Apple may finally be ready to take the plunge.
Reports are Saying Apple Will Announce the iWatch at the Sept. 9th iPhone Event
A flexible screen that might actually flex beneath your fingertips.
Full-screen in-app ads are coming to iOS. Because if you're going to make bigger phones, you might as well have bigger ads, right?
Gigantic 12.9-inch iPads are coming next year, according to this rumour. iPads the size of Macbooks. Sounds fantastic.
Or it could quite easily be a fake.
With the upcoming iPhone expected to come in two larger sizes (4.7 and 5.5-inches) , it looks as though Apple is going to pump up the screen pixel count accordingly.
It's reversible at both ends so you don't have to pay attention to what you're doing.
If you're struggling to make the battery last, it could be that Apple will give you a brand new one.
A Reuters report states that Apple suppliers are "scrambling to get enough screens ready" for the new phone as a last-minute redesign has disrupted production.
Could it be the iWatch, or something else entirely?
An invention for the absent-minded among us.
Swing Copters, Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen's second game, is now live on both the Google Play Store and the App Store and somehow, it's even harder than Flappy Bird.
It's not like we need more reasons to hate iMessage.
Barely bezelled phones are popping up more frequently. There's just one problem, though. Bezels matter. And we still need them.
What's 828 x 1472, Carol?

Johan Petro. Shawne Williams. Sundiata Gaines.
A year ago, these were the names that were coming off of the then New Jersey Nets bench. The guys who were second on the depth chart, entrusted with providing a spark for the team, or at the very least a breather for starters. Unfortunately for Nets fans, these guys and their fellow bench-warming brethren did not accomplish any of these feats. In fact, none of the Nets accomplished anything, en route to a 22-44 season.
But as we all know, things changed when the team crossed the Hudson. A new stadium was christened, massive contracts were absorbed, and TMZ suddenly became interested in a minority owner sitting courtside at his own team's games. And while all of these things seemed to be pushing Brooklyn in the right direction, there still remained one big question… Did they have any depth?
If we look at the team's acquisitions without the benefit of hindsight, it is easy to understand some critics skepticism over the Nets' subs. Reggie Evans, while an undoubtedly tremendous rebounder, had a reputation as a hothead who could be toppled by a strong gust of wind. Jerry Stackhouse was seen as a geriatric whose addition looked more like an example of Coach Avery Johnson's cronyism than anything else. Finally, there was the late, head-scratching acquisition of Andray Blatche; a perpetually underachieving prima donna, who has produced many more off the court highlights than on. Add these signings to the likes of the amnestied Josh Childress and inexperienced rookies like Tyshawn Taylor, Mirza Teletovic and Toko Shengelia, and the Nets still had their fair share of question marks. In fact, the only new addition to the team who was expected to produce was C.J. Watson, the back-up point guard who was coming off a career year in Chicago.
Man, did we underestimate them.
As of November 29, the Brooklyn Nets have the second best bench in the league, trailing only the freakishly good Milwaukee Bucks. Looking even deeper, the Nets' bench currently ranks in the top 10 of the NBA in the following categories: rebounds (defensive, offensive and total), steals, field goal percentage, three-point percentage and offensive efficiency. In fact, the only category the self-titled "BK Bench Mob" struggles in is free throw percentage, but what do you expect from a group that includes Reggie Evans?
All of those statistics are fine and good, but where the Nets really shine is in the individual seasons that their reserves are having.
Exhibit A: Reggie Evans. Evans has built an 11-year career on grabbing rebounds and getting the hell out of the way on offense, and this year has been no different. To date, he's averaging a mind numbing 15.8 rebounds per 36 minutes, which is far and away his career best. Add this to the fact that he's putting up three points per game on a paltry one and a half field goal attempts, and the Nets got everything they ever dreamed of when they signed Evans to a three-year, five million dollar contract. But what really makes Reggie such a great guy to have on your team is… Well, Reggie being Reggie.
This video shows it all. The sneaky push from behind. The finger in the face of an already pissed off Jarred Jeffries. The refusal to engage in a fight he seemingly started. It's all the little things that make up such a large part of Reggie's game. He's not a dirty player, because dirty indicates an intent to harm somebody. No, Reggie is a conniving player. He elbows, pushes and flops the opponent into insanity. Sure, it may cost him a few thousand in fines from the NBA, but that's essentially the buy-in that allows Reggie to play this game. So far, for Brooklyn, "Reggie being Reggie" has worked out just fine.
Exhibit B: Jerry Stackhouse. Jerry Stackhouse has been in the league for a long time. Like, a really long time. Like, Jerry Stackhouse has been in the league for so long, that he was drafted when Bill Clinton was the President… in his first term. This all lead to some raised eyebrows when the Nets announced Stack's signing during the off-season. After all, he hadn't logged significant minutes since 2009 and had been rumored to be heavily favoring retirement. Even after his signing, all signs pointed to Jerry keeping his warm-ups on and acting as more of a "player-coach".
And then Jerry started shooting. And then Jerry started making. In 9 appearances this season, Stack has shot 50% from inside the arc and approximately 54% from deep. His true shooting percentage (combined efficiency of all shots) currently sits at 69.4%, a whole 17% more than his career average. Oh, and did I mention that he's posting a PER of 18.2 on a cool 15.8 usage percentage? All of this from a guy who entered the NBA when Michael Jordan only had three championship rings. It would have sounded absolutely insane to say this in October, but in Stackhouse, the Nets have a legitimate contender for the NBA's Most Improved Player.
Finally, we have Exhibit C. The signing of Andray Blatche was seen as a huge leap of faith by most observers, even within Nets Nation. Even with his bloated salary being covered by Washington, Blatche had done little in his eight years to justify the off-the-court headaches that had become a signature of his. But where in previous seasons taking a flier on a player like Blatche would have come back to bite the Nets in the behind (Hi, Travis Outlaw!), this year is just different.
Simply put, Andray Blatche is having a career year. Per 36 minutes, Blatche is putting up career highs in points (19) and rebounds (11.4). He's also limiting his turnovers (1.3) and three-point attempts (0.2), signifiers of his maturation as a player. Indeed, this seems to be the biggest change in Blatche's game. Sure, he is still a goofball, but he's limiting his carefree attitude to the locker room. Is it any surprise that Blatche showed up to Nets camp in the best shape of his life, at a slimmed down 235 pounds?
Now, not everything has been golden for the Brooklyn Nets' bench. Highly touted Eurostash, Mirza Teletovic, who was known for his three-point shooting, has been extremely disappointing. Last year's rookie sensation, Marshon Brooks, has struggled to find playing time. This year's rookies Tyshawn Taylor and Toko Shengelia have recently been marked for the D-League. Keith Bogans and Josh Childress have been on the team? I think?
But for the nine-man rotation that Coach Johnson has been deploying so far (which includes C.J. Watson, who has been good yet underwhelming), everything is coming up roses. Who knows if such high productivity is sustainable, or a regression to the mean will send the team crashing back to Earth? In the meantime, Brooklyn fans will kick back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Atlanta Braves Sign Livan Hernandez
Part of me wants to laugh at the Braves. They signed a guy the Astros didn't want. On the other hand, he's been a decent fifth starter for the last couple of years, and the Braves always seem to find hidden gems. Besides, even if he sucks, they have depth in the minors. Hey, I hear Houston wants Joe Blanton now! /salisbury

A portrait of Clifford L. Adams, the founder and first chair of the Department of Physics at Old Dominion University, will be dedicated at a reception Tuesday, Nov. 14, at 6 p.m. in the atrium of the Oceanography and Physics Building.
Professor Adams founded the Department of Physics in 1960, two years after he joined the Old Dominion faculty. He also helped to organize the ODU Research Foundation, and was its first executive director from 1966-1974. During 1973-74, he held the title of Associate Provost for Research and Sponsored Programs, and later in the 1970s he returned to the physics department to help it win approval of a doctoral degree program.
On the state level, Adams served as chair of the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia's Research and Development Advisory Committee and was president of the Virginia chapter of the American Association of Physics Teachers.
He retired in 1979, and a decade later established the Clifford L. and Lillian R. Adams Scholarship for physics students. He died in 1999.

Sugar Land police are seeking help from the public to find two men who were captured on surveillance video as they robbed a McDonald's restaurant by threatening to harm employees with knives.
The robbery took place on April 11 at the restaurant on State Highway 6 near Williams Trace Boulevard.
The two men entered the front door after the restaurant closed at 1:30 a.m. They showed the employees their knives and forced two of them into an office where they demanded money that was secured inside a safe.
Because the manager was not able to open the safe, the two men left the restaurant with a small amount of money from a cash drawer.
A third employee hid in a refrigerator while the robbery took place.
Sugar Land police describe the two men as Hispanic or black and in their 20s. One of them stood at a height of between 5-feet 5-inches and 5-feet 7-inches tall and had a bald or shaven head. He wore a dark gray t-shirt, sunglasses, dark gray jean shorts and a bandana over his face.
The other robber stood at a height of between 5-feet 10-inches and 6-feet tall. He wore black pants, a long-sleeve black shirt with a yellow Batman logo and a hood on the back, a black hat, a light-colored bandana over his face and sunglasses.
Both men were seen leaving in a black Chevrolet pickup truck.
Anyone with information should call the Sugar Land Police Department by phone at 281-275-2540 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-8477 (TIPS).

Beginning 12pm EST on September 1st, NFL teams can begin officially signing eligible players that cleared waivers to their 8-man practice squad.
Eligibility for the practice squad is limited to players who do not have an accrued season in the NFL, or were on an active list (53-man roster) for fewer than nine games during their only accrued seasons. Players that have served two seasons on a practice squad are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment.
A player will be considered to have served on a practice squad in a season if he were a member of a practice squad for three regular or postseason games during his first two practice squad seasons, or for one regular season or postseason game during a third practice squad season.
The minimum weekly salary for practice squad players in 2012 is $5,700, an increase of $500 over the 2008-2010 rate. There is no limit to how much a team can pay a practice squad player. Several teams have enticed players with offers of increased pay, usually a few thousand dollars extra, to join or remain on their practice squad. In 2010, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, a sixth-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals, a practice squad salary of $319,991 to sign with them. Instances like that may be rare this season, as practice squad contracts count towards the salary cap.
Practice squad players are free to negotiate contracts to join other team's active list (53-man roster) at any time. One exception to this is that practice squad players may not sign a contract with his team's next opponent after 4pm ET six days preceding the game. That deadline is pushed back to ten days during bye weeks. Players signed off one team's practice to another team's 53-man roster shall receive three (3) weeks salary of his contract at the 53-man roster minimum, even if he is terminated from the 53-man roster before earning that amount.
Here's who I hope to see on the Panthers practice squad:
- WR Lamont Bryant - That TD was impressive!
- DE Ryan Van Bergen - I love his size and motor. A season in an NFL conditioning program might be all he needs to stick next time.
- DT Nate Chandler - He looked good at times and is worth a continued look.
- WR Jared Green - The speed and genetics are worth a continued look. If he pull it all together he could...make the HOF!
- RB Tauren Poole - I like his game and you can tell he has the talent to play int he NFL. He just needs to stay healthy.
- TE Joe Jon Finley - He has nice size so if he work on the other aspects he's worth keeping around.
Of course trying to predict the practice squad is near impossible. Conventional wisdom might be to assume the PS will be made up of guys that were in camp but that doesn't hold true usually. The Panthers will probably on keep 3 or maybe 4 of the cuts.

No these occurred across a long history. Save the platitudes and I really don't CARE about the topic because someone ELSE brought up the awsome sooperkewl troopers and started stroking their dicks on this subject.To NYS Pension Troopers: You do know that this thread is about a fire, and included posts about making fun of the FD don't you. I knew that when I sruck up for Volunteer FDs by giving my former profession that some sleezeball would take that ball and run with it. You can't stick to the topic but pull your anti Trooper crap. I worked when Troopers were highly respected and we deserved it at the time. I am not happy with nor am I proud of the occurrences you mentioned, although I am not familiar with the fire accident/fatal. That has all occurred since NYS lowered their standards. But what does the action of some have to do with what I stated about FDs? Because you have a vendetta, take it elsewhere. You couldn't be a pimple on my ASS!!!!!
You people seriously need to raise your standards it's not that hard. How is it that all these people simply can't stay clean? Is that that difficult? Why is excellence such a stumbling block for people from upstate? When you do what I do and attain what I have then you can talk. Now go work on that pimple on your ass. goof.

Two things to remember about Harvin:
1. When he's not playing, he is a drama queen.
2. He doesn't play that much, which means he bitches a lot!
2009: 15GP 60Rec. 790yds.
2010: 14GP 71Rec. 868yds.
2011: 16GP 87Rec. 967yds.
2012: 9GP 62Rec. 677yds.
I know he rushes for yds. and also returns...But NO 1000yds. receiving. 11 games missed in 4 years. Most importantly the Vikes go 5-2 down the stretch without him! Compared to the top receivers in the league:
20 Receivers caught for over 1000yds. last year, 19 in 2011, 17 in 2010, and 23 in 2009. If you want elite money, you need to show elite numbers and we all know how athletic Percy is and no one is denying that he is a talented player, but if you want the big bucks, you need to produce and in order to produce, you need to be on the field. STFU and play the game. Percy is much better at running his mouth that running a play. He is made of glass! Percy and Richard Sherman will make a great team...a lot of talk!
[QUOTE=MulletMullitia;1136990]We'll know by tomorrow night! Cruz/Jennings/Wallace/Welker or a BIG FAT FAILURE for the Vikings front office. You don't make steps forward by making steps back. Make a move, Rick![/QUOT
How is another first round pick and dealing away a distraction a "failure?" With AD doing his thing and solid play from Rudolf and a guy like Amendola, I feel the team can compete. I'd be happy as hell with Welker and Amendola. And I belief they would help out Ponder in a big way. honestly, I really don't see any of those guys except for Amendola, comin this way. I don't. What is the team lookin to do? Help Ponder. Solid, journeyman guys will do the trick. Just my opinion.

As for the trade, I guess we made the best of a bad situation. All of us wanted a happy, healthy, reasonably paid Harvin on the team going forward but it didn't work out that way.
The good news is we can use a first rounder alone to replace 75% of Harvin's WR production. KR is another story, we no longer have the most dangerous special teams in the NFL. We didn't gain much cap room for this year, but we can certainly justify paying one reciever a hefty sum now when we couldn't have before if we were to extend Harvin.
It's not ideal because we'll be worse for it this year, but over the next 2-3 years we may even come out ahead if Millitia's buddy Rick has another good draft haha

Ian Rapoport mentioned Greg Jennings TWICE to the Vikings in his last live segment on NFL live.
Sorry Rick! Keep up the good work.

At the very least he'd bring a lot of experience to a WR corps(e) that had Jenkins in that role. Anything over $10M tho f-that and look to pick up another player for the defense in FA.
I hate to see him go. I'm not going to pretend I'm happy about it or be like others and start to dissing him, bash him or call him names.
The guy brought his game to the field and gave 100% every week. Fans are going to find out just how valuable he was next season. I find myself more in the AD camp.
The star running back and reigning NFL MVP had this to tweet about on Monday after the trade.
"Wow, the best all around player that I have ever seen, or that you will ever see is heading to Seattle. I feel like I have just been kicked in the gut, many time over."
Yup he had issues with Ponder's abilities, but I think he's spot on & Ponder will prove him even more right next year. Just watching the way Rudolph was used in the Pro Bowl showed me just how much we were wasting his & Harvin's talent.
I'm glad we did get a 1st, 7th & 2014 3rd rounder out of the deal. He was as good as gone anyway & I thought we might get a few picks for him, but nothing higher than a 2nd.
The proof will be in the pudding though & unless we can replace Harvin via FA or the draft, the picks aren't that meaningful.
Keep in mind we traded a WR away once before and had the 7th overall pick of the draft, not the 23rd or 27th, but the 7th. We ended up getting Troy Williamson in return.
Even if we get a good one, he'll probably go to waste as we find out even more just how right Harvin was about Ponder.

Perfectly said Singer. My thoughts exactly! Could you blame Sidney for wanting 10 million more dollars? Can you blame Percy for not wanting to play with a better QB? No again. And you can't say Spielman didn't get market value. Hell, a first and a 3rd?! That's way better than I thought we would get for him. But low balling Boldin? And potentially striking out on Wallace too? This worries me. Spielman has been getting a lot more approval from me lately. But he has to prove to me that he can do more than just draft. He has to be effective in FA too. So re-sign Felton FIRST (THIS IS THE #1 PRIORITY), then sign Greg Jennings! Yes you overpay. But he spent his whole life in the NFC north. A true professional. Or you give up a 1st and get Victor Cruz. The real blockbuster move that this team needs! I'm sorry that I don't share the same optimism as I see Rick Spielman trending towards the same boring draft heavy offseason that we've all come to loathe. Let's not forget that one of his best draft picks was Percy Harvin. That's a scratch now. So he has Adrian Peterson and that's about it. Make some moves Rick. We are getting impatient.
Sorry Rick! Keep up the good work.
Before injuring his ankle, Harvin missed 3 games in 4 years. Childs missed 16 games in 1 year & he's still on the roster. He's not as elite as some people would like him to be but a huge part of that is due to the QB limiting that potential.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
This speculation stuff is classic...I dig it. So Cruz comes with 1st round pick attatched to any deal, and the Vikes just so happened to get the 'Hawks 1st pick in trade for Percival. Giving them...Two. MY PREDICTIONS ARE: Cruz or Amandola, or both. No Wallace or Jennings or Welker. Am I wrong? My only hope is that the team doesn't get stupid and overpay for Jennings. I don't see it though. Cruz and Amendola. that's my story and Im stickin too it.

As I've mentioned before, my daughter, son-in-law and grandson live in Portland, Ore. Thanks to Skype, we are able to see and speak with them several times a week.
My son-in-law has been keeping me up-to-date on the progress of the bulbs he planted last fall. I think he was gloating when he told me last week that his daffodils are blooming and his tulips are up and beginning to set buds.
I, on the other hand, can report that I have only three crocuses that are just peeking out of the soil. I have been inspecting the yard and flower beds frequently, as the snow has melted. Although the lawn may be exhibiting a hint of green if I squint my eyes, and there are some very green patches that look suspiciously like weeds, the only other green in my lawn right now is moss.
Moss is a small green plant that produces spores spread by the wind. It starts growing in the fall when the soil is wet and usually reaches a peak in the early spring. Because grass doesn't grow during the winter, moss is able to get a foothold in lawns that have bare spots. It lacks true roots but forms a thick green mat on the soil's surface in bare areas. Moss is likely to grow where grass won't if the conditions are more favorable for moss than grass. It does not kill grass, but grass does not grow where patches of moss are.
If the amount of moss you have in early spring is minimal, you may be able to remedy the situation by de-thatching it while it is healthy and vigorous. If you decide to reseed bare areas, remember that if you have a low spot or poor drainage, you will want to correct that. Feeding your lawn in early spring is not recommended. It will result in lush growth of grass at the expense of the roots and will not help to crowd out the moss.

A National Symposium and
National Academy of Engineering Regional Meeting:
Engineering to Improve the Operations of Manufacturing Enterprises
May 13, 2010
The University of Michigan
Stamps Auditorium, North Campus
Ann Arbor, MI
Supported by the National Academy of Engineering
and the National Science Foundation
Why Attend: Leaders from government, industry and academic organizations will describe how Operations Engineering -- the creation and use of models and principles from operations research and human systems integration disciplines -- can help U.S. manufacturers succeed in the highly competitive global economy.
The Symposium will be of interest to a wide range of engineers, business leaders and other striving to ensure that manufacturing operations meet consumer needs, are profitable and sustainable, and remain an integral part of the US economy and the US contribution to the global economy.
The Issue: The U.S. continues to be the largest manufacturer of products in the world. Although manufacturing remains its single largest employment sector, its contribution to the GDP has declined over 50% in the last 35 years. For this reason, manufacturing enterprises must have, and must use, operations engineering tools to assess and specify new manufacturing processes and technologies to assure that they:
- add real value to the customer
- minimize environmental impacts
- provide safe work conditions, and
- allow fast reconfiguration to meet market and supply chain uncertainties.
Keynote Speakers include:
Charles Vest, President of the National Academy of Engineering
Larry Burns, General Motors VP for R & D and Strategic Planning (retired)
Sharon Nunes, VP for Big Green Innovations, IBM
General David Maddox (retired)
Additional expert panelists will discuss how modeling and simulation methods can be used to improve the operations of U.S. manufacturing enterprises.

UPDATE: Deutsche Bank Downgrades Northern Tier Energy to Hold on Valuation, Seasonality
Deutsche Bank reduced its rating on Northern Tier Energy (NYSE: NTI) from Buy to Hold.
Deutsche Bank said, "Variable payout Mid Con refining MLP Northern Tier (NTI) reported clean earnings of $1.42/unit vs DBe at $1.43 and consensus of $1.64. The excellent quarterly profitability implies exceedingly cheap valuation, so that quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $250m represents annualized EV/EBITDA of 2.2x, while the $1.48/unit distribution for only 2 months since the IPO implies 35% annual yield. However, we see a seasonal sequential decline in earnings in Q4 followed by typically-weak Q1 and costly turnarounds, and on a normalized mid-cycle distribution basis the stock looks fully valued. We are in a cyclical short term negative stance on refining."
Northern Tier Energy closed at $24.50 on Tuesday.

Susan G. Komen® Statement on Canadian Breast Screening Study
Research Must Focus on More Sensitive, Widely Available Screening Tools, says World's Largest Breast Cancer Organization
DALLAS – February 12, 2014 –
Susan G. Komen® issued the following statement today regarding the Canadian National Breast Screening Study, which questioned the value of regular mammography screening in reducing mortality from breast cancer.
This statement is from
Komen President and CEO Judith A. Salerno, M.D., M.S.
"The Canadian study adds to a growing body of evidence that mammography is an imperfect screening tool for breast cancer. We agree. It is based on 1950s technology, and can lead in some cases to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of breast cancers. The problems with mammography have been established for many years.
"The more important question, and the one we ask every time one of these studies is released, is what we can do to provide women with more reliable and cost-effective tests to detect breast cancer. Once detected, we need tests that can tell us, with more certainty, which tumors are likely to become invasive and which might not require extensive treatment. The search for better early detection methodologies is an important focus for research.
"This is why Komen has invested more than $33 million in early detection research, investigating tools like blood and tissue tests for breast cancer, and will continue to do so. Until we have those tools, we will continue to recommend that women have access to mammography, that they discuss their risk with their healthcare providers, and that they maintain a screening schedule that is right for them.
"Despite the continuing debate over mammography, even the Canadian study authors acknowledge that 'early diagnosis, and excellent clinical care' are important. We believe that early detection gives women and their healthcare providers more options for treatment.
"We encourage all women to learn about their risk, discuss the right screening schedule for them with their doctors, know the look and feel of their breasts and report changes to their healthcare provider. Komen's screening recommendations can be found

The survival of the Big East is contingent upon two things right now: don't lose anymore teams, and land a good TV deal. In fact, new commissioner Mike Aresco (a great hire, and NOT a Providence man!) is just who the Big East needed to take the reins. A former CBS executive vice president, he has all the years of experience and personal connections needed to score a sweet tv deal for the Big East. Perhaps the deal will be worth more than the ACC's; as unlikely as this seems, with the right sales pitch, Aresco may be successful in hyping up the conference enough to earn a million or two more per school than the ACC. NBC needs programming for its new sports network; they just might pay. It is also critical not to lose any more teams, especially Louisville or Connecticut. The loss of both could spell the end of the Big East, and would especially harm the conference in the basketball department. (ACC, if you're reading this, and if you want to kill the Big East, just steal Louisville and Connecticut.) Aresco must keep everyone happy, which may not be an easy task. A big tv deal would go a long ways towards keeping everyone on board, so all efforts should be focused there.
Suppose that, when the Big 12 does inevitably decide to expand to 12 teams, they will nab the two best possible choices available to them. The obvious and most likely option is that Florida St. and Clemson jump ship from the ACC to Big 12, robbing the ACC of two of its best football programs. The ACC may be gutted further by the SEC farther on down the road, but supposing that happens sooner rather than later, the SEC will likely grab North Carolina St. and Miami FL. Virginia Tech isn't going anywhere, being stuck at the hip with Virginia. That'll leave the ACC with 10 members, one football powerhouse in Virginia Tech, and... not much else positive as far as football goes. Georgia Tech could be good sometimes. Maybe North Carolina? Come this time, assuming the Big East is untouchable, who could the ACC add to get back to 12? No one, really, and they'd take a step back as a power conference. By that point in time, the Big East should be the 5th best conference.
There are a lot of teams in Big East football that have potential to be great every year. Boise St. is always great, it seems. Louisville, Cincinnati, and South Florida, all former Conference-USA teams, seem to be on the rise. Rutgers, the Big East's oldest member now, has been pretty good recently. Houston is a solid program as well. That's 6 teams who should find themselves bowling just about every year, with one possibly in the 4-team playoff if they run the table. Who knows who the Big East will add as their 14th football member; they may shock the world and land a team like BYU. Maybe Notre Dame will decide to move their football into the Big East, although that seems highly unlikely. Regardless, if the ACC is raided and the Big East remains intact, the Big East will find itself being regarded as a much better football conference than the ACC. The potential is there; games must be won and conferences must be realigned. Yet I don't believe anyone could argue this is not a possible scenario.
As far as basketball goes, I think the two conferences would still be pretty even. North Carolina, Duke, Syracuse, and Pittsburgh are the ACC's basketball heavyweights; the Big East will have Louisville, Connecticut, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Villanova, Memphis, Temple, and Marquette, to name, oh nearly half of the future 18-team basketball conference. The strength of the ACC's big four is undeniable; but Big East basketball isn't getting any weaker. New teams will have a chance to step up (ala South Florida in 2011-12) and ultimately, that will be a good thing for the league.

It wasn't the tidiest round of golf that he's played the last few rounds, but Riviera has a way of testing ones' confidence unlike any other layout that the players have played thus far this season. Phil Mickelson, the overnight leader, came into the 2nd round at the Northern Trust Open ready to continue the confident swagger that has seemingly changed the outlook of his season. His confidence would be tested on Friday, however.
Mickelson began his 2nd round on the short, drivable par4 10th and the challenge began no sooner than his opening tee shot. From the right green-side bunker, Lefty would miss the narrow swath of green and then find the rear green-side bunker. From there he left himself a lengthy par putt from 14 feet, which he made, but the tone was set for the remainder of the round. His iron play was inconsistent at best, missing every other green from comfortable yardages on his approaches, but luckily his short game was on. He picked up his first birdie of the day on the par3 16th by virtue of a chip-in from off the green, but gave it back 2 holes later by taking bogey on the par4 18th. Mickelson made the turn at level par. His back-nine started in encouraging fashion, nearly making eagle on the par5 1st and tapping in for his 2nd birdie of the round. He would continue struggling with his iron play, however, and continued having to rely on his wedges and putter to keep the round from going south. His 2nd bogey on the round came at the par4 7th, taking him back to even par on the day, but that would quickly change on the par4 8th. From 110 yards, Mickelson dialed-in a wedge and heard the gallery erupt as it found the bottom of the hole for a remarkable eagle. And just like that – he was 2-under on the day, 7-under for the tournament. Unfortunately the good fortune would be partially given back by a bogey on his final hole of the round, but Mickelson wasn't overly displeased with his 1-under 70 on Friday. "I got a lot more out of it, I think. I thought there were some low scores out there. I wanted to score low. I played well enough, but I didn't give myself chances to really go much lower, and I ended up probably getting a pretty good score for the way I played. " Mickelson goes into the weekend with a 1-shot lead @ 6-under for the event.
The lowest rounds on Friday at Riviera were a pair of 65′s, and Pat Perez was the owner of one of them. Perez came into his 2nd round 6 shots back of the lead after opening with a 1-over 72 on Thursday, but it was a completely different day weather-wise. Pat was one of the unfortunate ones who had to brave the cold morning temps and the high winds Thursday morning, and all things considered – his opening 1-over 72 was really a very respectable score. So needless to say, Perez was pleased with the calmer conditions and warmer weather going into Friday's 2nd round. He began his day with a birdie on the par5 1st, then carded back-to-back birdies on holes 5 & 6, making the turn at 3-under. He continued his solid putting, finding birdies on 2 of the first 4 holes on the back, and closed the round out with an impressive approach to 11 feet on the tough par4 18th, making the putt to get his 6th birdie on the day. He's 5-under for the tournament, 1 shot back of Mickelson heading into the weekend. Afterward, Perez talked about how his putting has been the difference this year, after switching to the belly putter last fall. "Yeah. I haven't missed a cut yet. I've made all six on the West Coast. I had a lot of good rounds. I've played well. I'm 29th in the FedEx, so I've played pretty well. I've putted great. Ever since changing to the belly putter everything has changed for me. Yeah, I thought if I could just hit it somewhat decent, if I could give myself some looks with that putter, I'd make some." What about being paired with Mickelson on Saturday? "Yeah. I mean, I'm not playing him. You know, obviously he's playing well, and I'm going to have to play awful well to beat him this weekend. I'm not worried about him. It'll be fun to play with him, but you know, I know that I have to play well out there to beat everybody else as well." Pat's last (and only) win on Tour came back in 2009 at the Bob Hope Classic, and his best finish at the Northern Trust Open came back in 2007, where he finished 8th.
Jarrod Lyle and Jimmy Walker had solid rounds on Friday of 6-under 65 and 5-under 66 respectively, joining Matt Kuchar, Carl Pettersson, and Jonathan Byrd at 4-under and T4.
Spencer Levin, Bubba Watson, and Marc Leishman round out the top-10 at the midway point, 3-under for the event and T8.
After opening up with a good opening round of 4-under 67 on Thursday, J.B. Holmes found Riviera a little more difficult on Friday, shooting 2-over 73. At 2-under par for the event, he joins quite the impressive logjam of players who are also going into the weekend at 2-under par and T11: Bill Haas, Keegan Bradley, Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson, J.J. Killeen, Kevin Chappel, K.J. Choi, Justin Rose, and Retief Goosen.

It's a new work week but the weather pattern is typical for late June.
The day began with lows in the low to mid 70s. Several locations fell to 71 degrees, including Union Hill/Glenmora, Simpson, Winnfield, and Natchez, Miss. Simmesport saw their minimum thermometer register 76 degrees this morning. The 30-year daily average is 71 degrees.
Afternoon highs ranged from the upper 80s to the middle 90s. Marksville only reached 88 degrees while Anacoco hit 96 degrees. The 30-year average is 91 degrees. Peak heat indices were between 100 and 105 degrees.
The daytime heating triggered scattered showers and thunderstorms within a deep, moist southerly flow regime. I estimate today's coverage at 50%. Cherokee Village in Alexandria won the rainfall award with 1.51 inches. Following closely were Woodworth and River View near the Poland community with 1.40 inches.
A very large and intense high pressure cell will form over the southwestern states this week and this will force temperatures upward and keep the coverage of rain low.

Should We Really Be Allowing Sharon to Set American Policy?
Just over twenty years ago, as a representative of our government at a United Nations conference, I was invited to a 'briefing' by a very senior U.S. official on the recently concluded Israeli military operations in Lebanon. 'It is a stunning success,' this well-known man told us, according to my notes of the day. 'Far beyond our wildest dreams…the army has hacked its way through cell after cell of terror. It has cleaned out honeycombs of barbarous enemy…Ariel Sharon is one of the greatest military geniuses of the twentieth century!' he exclaimed. When I asked him about reports that Sharon had authorized the barbarous killing of civilians, including women and children, in a refugee camp, this great man assured us that 'they were all terrorists, and good riddance.'
We were then offered the additional benefit of a briefing by the Israeli permanent representative on his country's 'triumph'. Already nervous about the appropriateness of the first briefing, I suggested this second would cross a line of suitability, and the Foreign Service officer assigned to me seconded my apprehension. 'We are all appalled by this,' he said. 'And anyway, we have found no answers to the question of what the purpose of this Israeli operation is,' he went on. 'It may well just make things worse…they have crossed a line.'
It seemed to me, however, that the line that we needed to be concerned with was in our own deliberations-of the extent to which we as Americans should allow ourselves to identify with the strategies, interests, or tomfoolery of other countries. There has never been a case where two countries, however closely allied, have identical interests; the question is how much their interests are shared. In the 1982 case, we were being asked to identify a foreign 'triumph' as our own and to see its costs to us-through our association with Israel-as a benefit. In this case, most analysts would see the 1982 Israeli moves as disastrous for their interests-and causing us an enormous dish of guilt by association.
Fast-forward nineteen years to 11 September. The most moving tribute I saw was in that great French paper, Le Monde, which usually can contain its enthusiasm for things American. Now it was proudly proclaiming 'We are all Americans now.' I liked that. It was shocking then to read in an American weekly that the shoe was on the other foot. 'We are all Israelis now,' Martin Peretz of the New Republic proclaimed. I surmised that we were meant to see ourselves as victims of terrorism in the manner of Israelis during these past decades. But surely this is the greatest converse argument of recent history-mixing symptoms with cause. For the simple fact is-and you only have to live in the third world, as I do, to know how overwhelmingly true this is-11 September was made possible, perhaps inevitable, by Israel. Arabs have their quarrels and Osama bin Laden takes advantage of this. But one thing shared from Nigeria to Indonesia is an overwhelming identification with the Palestinian cause and a distaste ranging from aversion to horror with American policy to the region. Osama may have himself been more motivated by hate for the Saudi monarchy, but he could never have marshaled his army without the shared passion of Arabs for the Palestinian cause. That is what they had universally in common.
Why don't we get it?
So the question is, why doesn't America get it-and see it-as virtually the entire rest of the world sees it? One pithy answer, supplied by a mid-West truck-driver cousin of mine, is that 'Jews have a dagger at the throats of our politicians.' He told me he had long been a liberal, but was so appalled at this American policy vulnerability that he 'switched sides.' 'Israel and Washington scream about one shipload of weapons into Palestine, while convoys of American weapons pour into Israel. Every Palestinian down is known to be killed by a weapon"made in America."' Perhaps there are many other reasons why Washington makes its policies for the Middle East on the basis of domestic American politics, rather than the realities in the field. The question is, as a French analyst with an American PhD put it on 11 September, 'Is there no limit to the number of Americans the U.S. is prepared to see killed on behalf of Israeli interests?'
Already Ariel Sharon's war has had the following consequences: we have had to shelve our war against Iraq-unless we are prepared to go it alone, with only Britain at our side; our options in the larger war against Al Quaida terror are dramatically circumscribed by the diminished willingness of moderate governments throughout the Middle East to cooperate with us; anti-American sentiment has hardened against us from Jakarta to Dakar; and so on. All this for a war by 'a far worst terrorist than Osama,' as a distinguished Indonesian analyst put it, of what the Economist calls 'Ariel Sharon's war': a war without apparent objective but imposing unlimited costs on us and, in the not far distant future, threatening the survival of Israel. All because we simply refuse to look at a distant quarrel in terms of overall American interests and the realities, demographic, political, economic and strategic, in the field. It is time for an agonizing reappraisal of our relations with Israel, in the interest of our relations with all the rest of the world. If the exclusive supplier of Israeli weaponry can't budge Ariel Sharon with words, then the next step must be far more persuasive.

J. Madison Davis - 4/17/2002
As easily one might say Sharon is following our lead in the "war on terrorism," just as India did soon after the attacks on Afghanistan. By couching our actions in those terms, we invited all nations to attack their terrorists.
Which is not to say we (and they) should not be doing so.
My main question is: Exactly what should we be doing about the Palestinians? Israel is hated by the Muslim world, it is true. Should we abandon Israel? Should we move the Israelis to reservations in North Dakota? We have been conciliatory to the Palestinians in extraordinary ways, despite extraordinary provocations. Remember when Arafat wore a gun to the United Nations? What if Sharon had done this? And what do we expect Sharon and Israel to do in the face of these mad bombings? I think he's doing exactly what we would do.
The Rt. Rev. Jack E. Holman - 4/17/2002
Some Christians believe that the words of the prophet (dervish) Samuel to King Saul now apply to Sharon:
I Samuel 15 v 2 ff:
'Now listen to the voice of the Lord. This is the very word of the Lord of Hosts: "I am resolved to punish the Amalekites (Palestinians?) for what they did to Israel....." Go now and fall upon the Amalekites and destroy them, and put their property under ban. Spare no one; put them all to death, men and women, children and babes in arms, herds and flocks,camels and asses.'
These words represent what is called "l'hachrim". This mitzvah - "l'hachrim" -
is usually understood as 'total destruction.' In fact, in regard to the law of
"ir ha'nidachat" [an entire city that follows idol worship -, the Torah details specifically that it required "l'hachrim" - to gather all of its booty together and burn it!
Right-wing Christians claim that the Amalekites earned God's hatred because they sacrificed their children as part of their worship of their gods. They view sucide bombers and abortion in the same light as sins of sacrificing the young. America condones abortion and the Palestinians teach their children to blow themselves up, which earns God's condemnation.
David Salmanson - 4/16/2002
"Jews have a dagger at the throats of our politicians" - so says the author's cousin. If I am not misreading the article, the author seems to tacitly agree. This despite the fact that many U.S. Jews have opposed the current policies of Israel and many more have worked hard over the past decade to try to promote peace. In the United States, the most vocal supporters of the most reactionary elements in Israel have been Conservative Christians who believe the existence of Israel as a Jewish state is a pre-condition for the second coming.
There is also the question of whether or not the Arab world's discontent with - and the most radical elements attacks on - the U.S. would continue if all aid to Israel were halted tomorrow. The U.S. as the wealthiest nation in the world and the largest exporter of cultural products will continue to provide an easy target for demagogues of all stripes not just unhinged Wahabi fundamentalists. The Palestinian issue is a justification but not a cause.

I'm so tired of hearing that best player available is the be all end all of drafting. I'm equally tired of hearing the same about drafting for need. Like most things in football (and life), it's just not that black and white.
Decisions in a draft should never boil down to one player either. The draft, FA, and the trade market are all part of the tool set you (as a GM) have at your disposal to improve your team.
Draft whomever will improve your team the most, always taking into consideration the other tools in your bag. This should be balanced for the short and long term and also in conjunction with free agency, trades, the players whom you already control, the lengths of their contracts, the price of their contracts, etc.
It's fun (and addictive) to act like it's simple, but it's not. There are thousands of moving parts to this process and these guys put in unreal hours trying to make the best possible decisions.
A guy like Scott Pioli (the one we like to call stupid), fresh off a massive flop in KC, still knows more about football than most of us combined.
If it was as simple as we try to make it, we could all be GMs. We can't.
That said, I hope we take Geno for no other reason than if he hits his upside, we'll be so happy we'll be whistling Dixie out of our, um, tail pipes...

Greek prosecutors say her boyfriend, Luke Walker, 24, from Brierley Hill, attacked her, inflicting fatal injuries.
Mr Walker denies murder, saying Ms Hyndman fell after a night out.
He was held on remand for five months and is currently on bail and cannot leave the island.

Lupita Nyong'o in New York Magazine: I Thrive on Structure
She continues to make quite a name for herself in Hollywood, and now Lupita Nyong'o opens up about her new lifestyle in New York Magazine's latest issue.
The "12 Years A Slave" beauty donned designer garbs from Balenciaga and Giorgio Armani for the Erik Madigan Heck-shot spread while opening up about everything from her childhood role in "Oliver Twist" to her culture shock when she moved to the U.S.
Highlights from Miss Nyong'o's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit New York Magazine!
On her first acting role:
"I was a passerby. I had five words: 'Coming down the street, there.' That was it. But I had a back story for my character. I decided I was going to be a man, so I borrowed my brother's suit, my dad's briefcase. I don't know why I decided to be a man—I think it was more interesting."
On her life in America:
"I thrive on structure. I find my freedom in structure. It was very hard to adjust to an individualistic and very liberal system. I mean, my upbringing, I would iron my clothes every night. I would plan what i wore the night before, and then I would iron it. That's just the way my mom raised use. Then I got to Hampshire [College], where clothing is sometimes optional and all this kind of thing. I was mortified."
On her award season experience:
"I've been in a bubble. I haven't been out much. I haven't gotten used to being recognized. I was blissfully ignorant of the magnitude of the project I was in or what it was going to mean for the world."

Three non-injury shootings kept Portland's Gang Enforcement team busy Friday night, as shots rang out across southeast Portland.
The calls began at 11 p.m. Friday, when officers responded to numerous reports of shots fired at a home on the 8400 block of Southeast Brooklyn Street, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson. When police arrived, they found three cars and one apartment struck by the bullets. No one was hurt.
A second shooting occurred a few hours later, at 1:45 a.m. Saturday, on the 2700 block of Southeast 11th Avenue. Police said bullets hit several second-story windows of a residence there.
"We were in a backyard hot tub and we heard a bunch of gunshots," said Micah Sullivan, who was visiting a friend nearby when the shooting happened.
At 4:45 a.m., police responded to reports of gunshots at an apartment complex on the 3500 block of Southeast 130th Avenue. One apartment was hit. Police say no one was hurt and the occupants refused to cooperate with detectives.
Police do not have any suspects at this point and are looking into whether the shootings were related.

Right now, there is a ranking out there on the Internet for the models who walked the most spring 2010 shows, and Tao Okamoto, who graced 58 runways, makes the top five. And what's Okamoto's secret to coping with that punishing schedule? A bath every night, she says, regardless of the time her day finishes, and one with a liberal sprinkling of bath salts; she likes the sake-scented ones she bought back home in Tokyo. Okamoto has been in New York since January and is loving living here. It's not just that the city is the epicenter of the modeling world; she can indulge in her favorite pastime: watching Broadway musicals. She just saw The Little Mermaid and still laments the closing of Hairspray. And like most Tokyoites, she loves karaoke, though, no, she doesn't belt out a show tune when she takes the mike.
What she's wearing:
Miharaya Sohiro wrap dress bought in Tokyo.
Albini snakeskin platforms with multi–ankle straps.
And, given it was a chilly day in NYC, she turned up in a 3.1 Phillip Lim coat and a Zara cardigan.

Libertarian Party on track for record year!
With your help, the LP could break all the records!
With your help, the LP could break all the records!
Dear Libertarian,
This past weekend, more than 650 Libertarian delegates from across the country came together in Denver, CO to select our ticket for the 2008 presidential race. Through much debate, both on the stage and on the floor, our delegates selected one of the strongest tickets in the 37-year history of the Libertarian Party. Former Congressman Bob Barr, and small businessman Wayne Allyn Root will be leading the Party into what could possibly be the biggest year for Libertarians since Ed Clark ran in 1980!
However, our candidates are only as strong as the Libertarians who support them, and with your help, we can make this year one for the record books!
As you well know, the Libertarian Party always starts off a few paces back from the main two parties because of our battles with ballot access and funding. It takes an incredibly large sum of money to put the party on an even playing field in each state, and after that is all said and done, we still have the campaign to fund!
In the post-nomination excitement, as Libertarians united behind our candidate and began to turn towards the real enemy of the establishment, more than $64,000 was donated at the 2008 National Convention Presidential Banquet. Our gracious donors recognized that this was going to be a banner-year for the Libertarian Party, and wanted to make sure the tracks were laid for the Barr/Root train to roll loudly into Washington.
But this is just a fraction of what we need to ensure the Libertarian Party breaks every third-party record this year. We now put the challenge to you, our generous donors, volunteers and activists: Will you help build the tracks to success in 2008?
The average donation at the presidential banquet was $266, and we are asking if you can match this amount with your gracious donation that can be made online here. If you cannot, please donate any amount that you are able.
All donations are needed, and every one will be put to good use.
Thank you,
Andrew Davis
National Media Coordinator

According to UFC President Dana White at yesterday's UFC 129 press conference:
"We've talked about it before. There have been fights that we were watching that have been three-round fights like 'Damn, this should have been a five-round fight. It's the main event and it should have been five.' Yes, we can do it. we can make a main event a five-round fight and we're probably going to start doing that."
Five-round main event non-title fights may go a long way in proving who the better fighter is, but does a championship bout then lose some of its luster if there's nothing to distinguish it (besides the title) from a standard main event? Let's hear your opinion on the last three-rounder that should have gone five and then cast your vote in the poll below.

I'm going to throw in the towel and go picket Jerry Jones' house until he shows himself for the Razorback spy he is and goes home to his backwoods, backward Motherland. Sorry, I'm just really upset about this last pick. I don't know why. I shouldn't be surprised that these 'Boys would waste another pick on a guy who will never pan out to be a meaningful contributor. I guess I just thought things were different now. I thought Garrett, Ryan, etc. would give us real football insight in the draft, instead of Jerry's K5-level football IQ. Then we made the Mo Claiborne move. My heart leaped. Then we picked this Canadian-born, JUCO-bred, Boise-finished (the guy's never faced good competition at ANY level!) potential bust to sit on our roster a few years, then get cut. And the frustrating fact remains, we had big ole Clemson DT Brandon Thompson just begging us to pick him. Pick him and plug our porous 3-4 middle, so our Pro Bowl DL can move to his best position. Pick him as a steal in the third after he should have gone high second round. But no. We wouldn't do something intelligent twice in one draft.
So. Chris Givens is one of the best receivers in this draft. He's still there. If he is available, we must pick him. It would almost be a guaranteed Laurent Robinson replacement. We won't, I know. And I'm sure we won't take a center with our second 4th round pick. Man. We always think we could be a GM. With the way Jerry runs things, I think I actually could.

The Foundation awards merit-based, need-based scholarships up to $5,000 per year (up to $4,000 for first-year students), depending on the scholar's financial need. Scholars who remain in good standing are invited to renew their scholarship for up to four years of full-time undergraduate study.

DC's Farewell to Andray Blatche (or why I'm not too upset he's not coming to San Antonio)
Highlights would include: 1. Blatche hosting Lapdance Tuesdays at the local strip club 2. After being arrested he " agreed today to attend a day-long seminar offered by prosecutors for men who solicit prostitutes." 3.Refusing to play in a game 4. A desperate attempt to get a final rebound to tally a triple double that involved yelling at his teammate, pleading with Yi Jianlin (on the other team) to just let him get a rebound, and attempting to sprint down the court with three seconds left to shoot, miss, and get his own rebound. Maturity at its finest.

Cohort Default Rates
Cohort default rate (CDR) is used to monitor the effectiveness of a federal student loan program participant (college, lender, or guarantor) in default prevention. Currently, the CDR measures students who default within 3 years of entering repayment.
American Student Assistance® (ASA) is consistently ranked among the lowest of all national student loan service providers in CDR—and has beaten the national average by 54% over the past 4 years (FY2004 – FY2008).
Impact on Schools
A high CDR can cause an institution to lose its eligibility to administer federal aid. At ASA®, we work with schools to lower their institutional CDRs. For example:
- Schools joined ASA's Journeys program to help with CDR issues.
- We sent their recent graduates information on loan repayment, financial literacy, and career advice.
- These schools experienced lower default rates among students with ASA-guaranteed loans than those with loans guaranteed by other agencies.
