This was The Boy two years ago, when we first started this blog, on Christmas day.
This is this Christmas, a few weeks ago.
You expect babies to change drastically in their first year. They go from being lumps to being almost human in 12 months. It's amazing. As much as I anticipated that change -- in both my boys -- it still was fascinating and miraculous to watch.
What I never thought about before I had kids was how much they would change and grow after their first birthday. Somehow, it seemed I would have a baby and then, suddenly, I would have an elementary school-aged kid. After The Boy turned 1, he did seem to stall a little bit. His weight leveled off. I stopped having to buy him clothes every week (that kid was wearing 2T clothes on his first birthday) and, though his language exploded, the tantrums and willfulness that gave me fits leading up to his birthday stopped. I had it figured out, I thought.
And then one day I looked up and realized, Holy crap! This baby isn't even a toddler any more. He's walking steady. He's speaking in full, complex sentences. He's able to handle simple chores. He's eating like a person. He's asking questions about the world.
The Boy keeps sneaking up on me. Just last week I looked up and realized his head was above my countertops. When did that happen? He raised his arms up above his head the other night before bath and, for the first time ever in this child's life, I saw his ribs.
"Boy!" I said, "you have ribs."
"What are ribs?"
I read once that your oldest child always will seem just as old as he can be. That's how I feel about The Boy. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. I have to be careful to temper my expectations to what is actually possible for his age.
He's such a sweet, smart boy. He wakes us up most mornings -- "Momma, the sun's up." -- and yells, "Hugs and kisses time, Daddyman!" when I put him to bed. He tells dramatic stories that go on and on and on. I put him to bed talking the other night. He makes up words. He named his triceratop pillow pet Chanker, whatever that means. He's whiny sometimes, timid sometimes. I called him intent as a baby; he still is. He thinks about things, asks endless questions and generally follows the rules. He's tricksy and funny and cuddly.
He's my favorite little monkey.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Texas Tech will get a formal invite to join the PAC 10 this week according to a Twitter posting associated with Orangbloods.com.
The various Internet sports magazines have not been wrong on this issue yet. The latest posting says Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and one more team will get the official invitations. There is some discussion over inviting Colorado Vs Baylor as a sixth Big 12 Team.
A Texas Tech spokesman did acknowledge hearing the latest report but says the university wants to hold off making a comment until some official action is taken. Meanwhile the Big 10 may try to make a move to lure Missouri and Nebraska out of the Big 12 before Friday.
Friday is the deadline set by the Big 12 to those two schools to make a commitment toward staying or going. Initial comments from Texas Tech were supportive of keeping the Big 12 intact.
But what would a conference change mean for the City of Lubbock and our local economy? we are working on that story and will bring it to you tonight on KCBD NewsChannel 11 at 10.

About the Film
The GREAT AMERICAN WHEAT HARVEST is a documentary film that will tell the story of hard-working custom harvesters who travel from the heart of Texas to the Canadian border harvesting the wheat that feeds our Great Country and the World.
This film is being produced by award-winning Director and Producer, Conrad Weaver, President of Conjostudios, LLC based out of Frederick, MD.
The story is dramatic as well as inspiring. It's compelling as it shares the challenges that are now threatening that way of life passed on from generation from generation. Much has changed and from a historical perspective. It is important to document the lifestyle and heritage before it is lost.
Americans takes for granted the way our food supply comes to us daily. How many folks truly understand how, where and what it takes to get that loaf of bread into the market shelves and on to the table? With rising industry costs, technological advances and production methods, new threats face our nation's agricultural producers everyday directly impacting our nation's supply. The Great American Wheat Harvest Movie is the behind-the-scenes look and tribute to those working daily to produce our food and those gathering the harvest. It's a National Educational Tribute.

It's been called one of the worst cases of government abuse ever committed against a home schooling family: the abduction by Swedish authorities of Domenic Johansson, a happy, healthy, 7-year-old boy taken from his parents Christer and Annie Johansson in 2009 as they waited to leave Sweden on a flight to India.
After the abduction, the Johanssons' story spread quickly on the Internet.
But three years later, Domenic is still being kept from his parents, and Swedish authorities keep finding new reasons for why the child can't go home.
The Abduction
"This is about the most fundamental right you have. You have the right to your own children, or you should have," Christer told CBN News during the first television interview he and his wife have given since their only child's abduction.
In 2008, Christer and Annie were making plans to leave Sweden for humanitarian work in Annie's native India.
They decided it would be best for Domenic to be home-schooled during the final months before their departure, rather than enroll him in public school.
Christer says Sweden's Ministry of Education told him they could home-school, but local officials levied steep fines and threatened the couple to discourage them from doing so.
Then, as the parents sat on a plane at Stockholm airport for their scheduled trip to India, police came aboard and took Domenic away.
"They took Domenic from the plane," Christer recalled. "Then he threw up until they took him to ER. That's how severe the trauma is. If someone throws up so you have to take him to the hospital, that's severe."
"I have no clue what went on," Annie added. "There was just a stampede. My child had no clue, and I have no clue still what's going on. I can just hear the screams of my child all the time."
Cat and Mouse
According to Christer, the couple was supposed to have Domenic back a few days later. But when they went to pick him up, authorities changed their story.
Officials decided Domenic was "at risk," because he had cavities and did not have every recommended vaccination. They also noted he was shy.
Gotland Social Services then found more problems — claiming the Johanssons' home didn't have enough furniture, and that Christer was a drug addict with a mental illness, even though he passed a drug test and psychiatric examination.
"I went to psychiatric clinic and said, 'Check me thoroughly,' and they did. So I took that paper to court and it had no effect whatsoever," Christer recalled. "I said, 'I'm healthy,' but the Social Services and Social Services' lawyer said 'No, you are suffering from personality disorder.'"
Social Services said Domenic was developmentally delayed, although videos show him flying a plane on a flight simulator before being abducted at age 7, and also speaking clear English.
Authorities were also disturbed that Domenic was too affectionate with other children, greeting his friends with a hug and kiss on the cheek. They called this "deviant behavior."
Christer was then labeled a "human rights fanatic."
Christer said authorities have resisted all attempts to reunite the family. And evidence showing that the pair are good parents has been completely ignored.
"It doesn't matter if we have professors or doctors to speak for us. It just doesn't matter," he said.
Swedish Soviet Union?
Exasperated, Christer brought Domenic home without permission in Nov. 2010. Police then raided their home with guns and dogs and took Domenic away again. Christer was put in jail for two months.

The Daily Scope
Great news, Leo: The Sun moves into your sign today, which is where it shines brightest! And as this is your birthday month, it's time to make it all about you (no qualms there!). Pull out all the stops and get ready for some fun in the Sun. Just be careful that Venus in Virgo doesn't throw off your jive by causing you to overanalyze everything. Try to enjoy every person and each experience, and remember never to judge a book by its cover. Oh, and Happy Birthday!
Week of July 22–July 28
The week starts with a bang—the stars are busy!—when, just before dawn, Mars (the planet of action) meets Jupiter (the planet of good fortune). Together they detonate celestial fireworks, sparking ardent desires and passionate pyrotechnics. Their exuberant energy provides plenty of good luck and provokes daring leaps of faith. They ask for us to believe in ourselves, in our abilities, and to be utterly confident that now we will obtain our dreams. They encourage us to shoot for the stars!
Then the Sun will enter into Leo, the star sign of the Lion and his royal home. Happy here, the Sun reveals his full splendor in beauty unabated. His radiant countenance dazzles, his lion heart exudes courage, and he inspires all that is lovely, bright, and joyous.
The Full Moon occurs in humanitarian Aquarius. Now the primordial lunar powers will peak, prompting us to explore the relationship between our personal wants and the needs of the group, and to balance our individual well-being with the greater good of society.
Venus (the planet of love and abundance) will change signs, entering into Virgo, the sign of the pure and pristine maiden. Love and money will fall under her analytic eye, and she is exacting in her famous scrutiny. Refined and composed, her greatest joy is to feel that she is needed, and she will express her devotion through the giving of herself.
On Saturday, Mars in Cancer will exactly oppose Pluto (the planet of death and transformation) in Capricorn. This is a challenging aspect, which could go one of two ways: It could either incite an angry conflict that turns into an ugly show of might, or it could become a tremendous transformative force. This raw and aggressive energy is ameliorated and soothed by the warm-hearted rapport of the Sun in harmony with the Moon, reminding us that the greatest power of all is love.

RWE AG (RWE.XE) said Thursday investors and employees will have to tighten their belts to help turn around the battered utility, announcing plans to wring out more savings and cut its dividend.
RWE, one of Europe's top five power and gas companies and Germany's largest electricity producer by output capacity, said that deteriorated earnings prospects at its conventional power-generation business have forced it to cut its dividend for this year and beyond.
"We are undoubtedly facing difficult times, and our dividend policy must take this into account," said Chief Executive Peter Terium.
The move is the latest illustration of the decline of the formerly sprouting European utilities sector, which has fallen victim to austerity policies by governments across the continent amid Europe's continuing debt crisis as well as ambitious targets for renewable energies.
RWE said that it will propose to shareholders that the dividend payment for 2013 will be halved to EUR1 per share compared with EUR2 per share paid out a year earlier.
For the following years, the company intends to reduce the targeted dividend payout ration to 40% to 50% of recurrent after-tax profit, which equates to net profit adjusted for non-recurring items like book gains or losses.
At present, the company is targeting a dividend payout ratio of 50% to 60% of recurrent after tax profit.
Fitch Ratings warned in late August that political intervention remains a considerable risk for utilities in Europe.
"The political debate to find a balance between budget consolidation and economically sustainable energy policies remains an ongoing and uncertain process," Fitch said, downgrading RWE's credit ratings at that time.
RWE and many of its European peers are struggling with a recession-related decline in energy demand and the unabated expansion of "green" energies like wind and solar power, eroding power-generation margins across the continent.
RWE also said it intends to step up an ongoing cost-cutting drive and further reduce investment budgets to conserve cash amid falling profits.
"Everyone in the company--definitely not just the shareholders--will make a contribution to safeguarding our financial power over the long term," Mr. Terium said.
The company added, however, that it won't announce the new savings targets, the reduced investment budgets and a profit outlook for the years beyond 2013, before Nov. 14, the day it will present third-quarter results.
So far, RWE had pledged to cut costs by around EUR1 billion through 2014. Additionally, the company plans to wring several hundred million euros in savings from its conventional power plant business.
In August, RWE said that operating profit at its pan-European power-generation business--which operates nuclear-, gas-, coal- and lignite-fired plants--declined by over 60% in the first half of the year because of the over capacity and muted demand.
At that time, RWE also said it would shut down around 6% of its total power-generation capacity in response to the continuing tough trading conditions in Europe's power markets.
Many of its European peers, including German rival E.ON SE (EOAN.XE), have already idled power plants, or are planning to do so, to minimize losses because of low electricity prices.
RWE also reiterated its 2013 profit outlook, saying it still expects an 8% year-on-year decline in operating profit this year.

"Changing Lives With Canine Companionship"
Over 3 million healthy, adoptable companion animals die in shelters annually. One of the main challenges animal welfare groups and shelters have, is finding ways to re-home shelter animals. Increasing public awareness that wonderful companion animals can be found in shelters is just the start.
The mission of Canines With a Cause is to create a sustainable and replicable program that engages combat veterans and prison inmates to train dogs from high-kill shelters as cost-effective service, therapy and companion dogs. All of the dogs are evaluated at the shelter for behavior, health and overall temperament, they are also fully vetted which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip. CWAC offers free placement and continual training for those who qualify
The CWAC program carefully interviews potential dog candidates for placement. Our human clients vary: We've placed our dogs with Veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, families with autistic children and facilities for abused women and children. We also have a "Diamonds in the Ruff" adoption program for those dogs who prefer to just be a wonderful, non-working family addition.
To find out more about our organization, please read the articles featured in the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News and Military.com http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/55523973-78/says-dog-dogs-canines.html.csp,

Hey, i listened to that thing, it finally worked, but i seriously dont think that you are playing ay runs, in 16ths at 250. That was the whole point it had to be a run and alternate picked. I never said, at least im pretty sure, i didnt say somebody cant tremolo pick at those speeds or legato at those speeds. I didn't hear you do any runs that were at 250, and i am still sceptical its 250. I have reached legato 16ths at 250 just fine, and all those super fast guys that i listen to, and ur recording, i can play just as fast as the recording, but when i get a metronome down, i can never hardly get it over 220.
Well actually, i have something to say which was pretty funny. With all this speed stuff, i tryed doing all the speeds you guys said, and i actually got that chromatic run going at about 230. But i still dont believe guys hit speeds like 260 - 300 like its nothing and everyday. I even asked my teacher, and he didn't believe it, and trust me, hes heard everybody play.

Over 150 million breached records from Adobe hack have surfaced online107
Things aren't getting much better for Adobe after the company endured a major security breach last month. If you believe the Sophos Naked Security blog, things may be far worse than originally thought. Adobe's initial estimate was that information on nearly 3 million user accounts was compromised during the intrusion. That number quickly ballooned up to 38 million. But according to Paul Ducklin at Naked Security, a database of Adobe user data has turned up online at a website frequented by cyber criminals. When all is said and done, Ducklin suggests Adobe's security blunder could rank among the worst in history. He says over 150 million "breached records" can be found in the database dump, which is a staggering 10GB when uncompressed. After analyzing a sample pool of records that were part of the leak, Sophos found that Adobe used some questionable encryption techniques.
For its part, Adobe is standing by its latest 38 million figure, and says that all impacted users have already been notified. The company was quick to reset passwords for everyone involved. Adobe says the perpetrators likely picked up "many invalid Adobe IDs, inactive Adobe IDs, Adobe IDs with invalid encrypted passwords, and test account data" in the breach, which may be playing a significant role in the huge total cited by Sophos. "We currently have no indication that there has been unauthorized activity on any Adobe ID account involved in the incident," a spokesperson tells The Verge. LastPass has set up an online tool to quickly find out if your email address is listed in the massive database.

Looking back at the Cincinnati Bengals' 30-20 win at the Jacksonville Jaguars:
Let me introduce you to the Cardiac Cats.
This year's young Bengals team is one victory from matching last year's win total, but Cincinnati has already proved something -- it has a flair for the dramatic. All three of Cincinnati's wins have come when the Bengals have trailed in the fourth quarter, including late rallies in the past two games.
In Sunday's 30-20 win, the Bengals looked like the old Bungles at times, missing an extra point and failing to cover a wide receiver on a 74-yard touchdown. But down 20-16, Cincinnati converted a fourth-and-6 late in the fourth quarter, which led to Bernard Scott's game-winning 2-yard touchdown run.
"It's the NFL," linebacker Thomas Howard told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "You have to win it in the fourth quarter a lot of the times."
Here's a look at the fourth-quarter comebacks:
- At Cleveland in Week 1, the Bengals overcame a four-point deficit (17-13) with a 41-yard touchdown pass from Bruce Gradkowski to A.J. Green with 4:28 remaining.
- Against Buffalo in Week 4, Cincinnati rallied from a 14-point halftime hole and broke a 20-20 tie with Mike Nugent's 43-yard field goal as time expired.
- At Jacksonville in Week 5, the Bengals came back from four points down (20-16) with Scott's 2-yard run on third-and-goal with 1:56 left in the game.
The Bengals have outscored teams 53-27 in the fourth quarter this season.
STAT THAT STICKS: 5 -- Number of plays ran by the Jaguars inside the Cincinnati 6-yard line. None resulted in touchdowns.
OVERHEARD: "I think what worked to our advantage is that a lot of people don't respect us. They don't think we are as good as we think we are." Bengals safety Chris Crocker on being the underdog.
LOOKING AHEAD: The Bengals (3-2) play host to the Indianapolis Colts (0-5), who are one of three winless teams left this season. The Colts have the 30th-ranked offense and the 25th-ranked defense.
By Jamison Hensley
Sound familiar? The Bengals have now officially transcended from their infamous Bungle title to the nickname that drove Cincinnati to the playoffs in 2009; The Cardiac Cats. The Cardiac Cats have won all three of their games in come from behind style, partly thanks to more aggressive and stout defence in the 2nd half. Dalton is learning the best way possible. The more he leads this young squad down the field in the fourth quarter from behind the better this team is going to be this year and many years to come. I'm very excited to see this team rally in the fourth quarter and hope that they can keep their act together throughout the season.

↵The Opening Pitch: The Rays are not the Yankees. Or the Indians, for that matter. ↵↵
↵And that is why there will be no Red Sox comeback from being down 3-1 in the ALCS, like they did last season against Cleveland. Or like '04 against New York. ↵
↵More than anything, these Rays lack a sense of entitlement — and that missing historical and emotional baggage is its killer advantage, and why it is beating the brains out of Boston. Some might argue entitlement is swagger and "swag" is a prerequisite for any would-be champ. ↵↵
↵But I say it is harder to beat a team that doesn't know how good it is — or, at least, won't let it get to their heads after a franchise history of nothing but losing — than a team that thinks the name on the front of its jersey demands deference. ↵↵
↵And the names on the back of the Red Sox jerseys aren't having much success either: The Rays followed up a shellacking of historically-dominant postseason ace Josh Beckett by throttling Jon Lester, who had been untouchable this postseason. ↵↵
↵The barrage of home runs (three more last night, seven total in two ALCS games at Fenway) is the byproduct of how loose this Rays team is. In the same way that Red Sox fans don't see the Rays as their "rival," the Rays have no reason to fear the Red Sox mystique. ↵↵
↵After a decade of sucking, the Rays are unfazed by expectations — perhaps even immune. The team's "9=8" mantra means that all they focus on is the inning at hand, the single game they are playing. ↵↵
↵For a team with as sorry a history as the Rays, that was the only mindset that could work. Forget history. Don't self-reflect. Aren't both what doomed both the '04 Yankees and '07 Indians? ↵↵
↵Cinderella looked good, but she wouldn't really be the star of the party if she KNEW how hot she was. ↵↵
↵NLCS Game 5: If the Phillies want to make their first World Series since 1993, they would be hard-pressed to find a better ace to carry them there tonight than Cole Hamels, who has the potential to be the new Josh Beckett — elevating his game in the postseason. (I will make this prediction: Matt Stairs will NOT be the hero this time. That HAD to have been a one-shot deal, right?) ↵↵
↵NFL suspends Adam "Pacman" Jones indefinitely: With "indefinitely" meaning "four games." Hard to blame the league; Jones knew what the comeuppance would be for his very first post-suspension violation. At this point, he doesn't really deserve another chance. ↵↵
↵(Meanwhile: How soon before the league punishes Larry Johnson?) ↵↵
↵NFL Trade Deadline Mania: Cowboys trade for Roy Williams! Williams didn't like being No. 2 to Calvin Johnson in Detroit. He'll still be No. 2 in Dallas, but at least the offense will be geared to take advantage of him as perhaps the best No. 2 WR in the league. (Even if it's Brad Johnson, not Tony Romo, throwing the ball.) ↵↵
↵Tony Gonzalez NOT traded: And you have to sort of feel for the guy. He had to be thinking, "Give me the Favre Treatment and send me to a contender! Any contender! Please!" But, no: He stays in Kansas City. The fans will appreciate him — that adoration will undoubtedly be the highlight of his ring-less career. ↵↵
↵Redskins sign Shaun Alexander: Remember when Alexander was relevant? When he was a fantasy god? When he was a record-setting MVP? When he was a Madden video-game cover guy? Now, he's a mid-season replacement for Ladell Betts. And, even with all that, how can you NOT see the coming "Shaunnaissance." ↵↵
↵In this economic environment, how can the NFL afford NOT to add an extra week to the regular-season schedule? ↵↵
↵CFB: Who will replace Tommy Bowden at Clemson? Is it even a desirable job? The pros: Fertile recruiting base; ACC easier than SEC. The cons: Expectations. (Although "just don't choke like Bowden" seems like a fair expectation.) How about that other Tommy on the hot seat? (Auburn's Tuberville) ↵↵
↵— Speaking of winning in the ACC with low expectations, Wake Forest's Jim Grobe adds Clemson to the list of teams he won't coach. ↵↵
↵CFB: Colt McCoy is the new leader in the HeismanPundit.com and Rocky Mountain News straw polls. The QB of the No. 1 team in the country is the leading Heisman candidate? Shocker. ↵↵
↵Lance Watch: I guess I'm confused. How can Armstrong's participation in the Tour de France be considered a "distraction" when racing in it is really the whole point of his comeback? ↵↵
↵NBA: God bless Sports by Brooks for taking a random Greek hoops rumor and turning it into an offer to Kobe Bryant for three years at $83 million. By the way, if that was true, Kobe would be absolutely insane not to take it immediately and not look back. (And the Greek team should totally do it.) ↵↵
↵NBA Preseason: Mike Taylor Bandwagon. Everyone is so sure Greg Oden is a lock for Rookie of the Year. But watch out for another quasi-rookie — the Clippers' Mike Taylor. ↵↵
↵Taylor was drafted out of the D-League and seems like one of the best in his class*. Last night, he helped lead the Clippers to an opener-ruining night for the Thunder in OKC. ↵↵
↵(* - Nothing would do more for the D-League than to showcase itself as the best option for the transition between prep and pro.) ↵↵
↵NBA Must-Read: In case you missed it, Free Darko "previewed" every single NBA game that will happen in October and November, with the intention of doing it for every single game of the season. It is like the NBA equivalent of John Hodgman's brilliant list of Hobo names. ↵↵
↵NHL: The sudden and tragic death of Rangers top prospect Alexei Cherepanov gets stranger. Russian authorities are now blaming the paramedics, as much as the player's alleged heart problem. Tracking ... ↵↵
↵CBB: Ready for Midnight Madness later this week? Mike DeCourcy asks and answers seven key questions for the season. ... As for "Who can challenge UNC?" I'd point out Tyler Hansbrough's March career; history points more to UNC choking than winning it all. ↵↵
↵The Last Word: I'm thrilled to explain yesterday's absence was due to the birth of my second kid, Jonah. He seems happy, healthy and — as a bonus — enjoys the one-day-old's advantage of being able to pick up a rooting interest in any team he wants without being labeled some kind of bandwagoneer. ↵↵

I realize Saban would heartily disapprove. But just for kicks, who wants to give it a go for the two deep on here? Every position, starter and 1st backup to be compared with Saban's when released in due time. Not as exciting as the march madness bracket, but what the hell. Anyone with me? Anyone else want to incessantly speculate and guess AND ARGUE OVER HYPOTHETICALS?!?!?! WHO'S WITH ME????
Seriously though, thought it might be fun to pass the time. I'll do mine later as I'm too tired right now.
And congrats to the basketball team on the NIT win. I hope they kill everyone in sight and then give the middle finger to the NCAA selection committee...metaphorically.

I know ChiaCrack wrote about Cameron Jordan a while back, but I feel that our 9th pick should be spent on Cameron Jordan. Let me explain why.
Today, both North and South Teams, of the Senior Bowl, were in practice.
Scott Wright, from DraftCountdown, noted Cameron Jordan as the 3rd Most Impressive player at the weight-in. He said this of Cameron Jordan.
"Just a large man and you can tell he comes from an athletic family." at the weight-in.
"I'll save most of the notes for the actual report but Cal DE Cameron Jordan was absolutely dominant again today. It was obvious that Jordan was the star of the show because afterwards he was mobbed by reporters, including ESPN's Chris Mortensen. I actually interviewed Jordan for the site a few weeks ago and he is an extremely impressive young man. Don't be surprised when he sneaks into the Top 15 overall, at worst." after North practice.
Shane Hallam, also from DraftCountdown, said this of Cameron Jordan.
"North practice today was simply AWESOME. I got to get a deep look into the trenches and at the quarterbacks. We will have a full report up late late tonight, but Cal's Cameron Jordan is making major dollar. He has been unblockable and blown past everyone. Playing DT, DE, it doesn't matter." after North practice.
Wes Bunting, from National Football Post, said this of Cameron Jordan.
"I thought coming into the Senior Bowl week that California DL Cameron Jordan was the best senior prospect in the nation, and after a solid performance yesterday, the man took his game to another level today. Jordan was downright dominant at times as a pass rusher using his impressive initial burst, his violent/long arms and relentless motor to consistently slip blocks on contact and work his way into the backfield. He was effective both on the outside and lined up as a three-technique, and even played the run well at the point of attack inside. He was the one guy who I saw potentially making a move toward the top 10 with a dominant week and this was the kind of performance I was expecting from him." after North practice.
Russ Lande, from Sporting News, said this of Cameron Jordan.
"California defensive end Cameron Jordan had an excellent practice Tuesday morning at the Senior Bowl. He easily defeated every offensive tackle in one-on-one drills, showing the great quickness, athleticism and pass-rush skills to clearly back up our season-long prediction that he would be a top-10 pick. Now, everyone is seeing what we saw in the summer on film."
Rob Rang, from NFLDraftScout, said this of Cameron Jordan
"Jordan was too dominant, at times. His burst upfield landed him in trouble with the Bengals' coaching staff during a full 11-on-11 scrimmage at one point, when he hit quarterback Ricky Stanzi to force a fumble."
We can go on all day.. the point is that Cameron Jordan, after the Senior Bowl, will become the number 1 DE prospect and if he falls to #9 we should grab him without a consideration in the world. He is versatile, can play the run and rush the passer with the variety of pass-rush moves. He's strong and can shed-off blocks. High football IQ, awareness, tough and hard worker.
What more can you ask for in a player?

USC and Arizona look to rebound from disappointing starts to conference play when the Trojans host the Wildcats on Thursday night. Television coverage begins at 10:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1.
The Trojans opened the year with a 30-13 win at Hawaii before dropping their conference opener at home against Washington State. USC then won two good home games, against Boston College and Utah State, before a road blowout loss to Arizona State that caused the firing of head coach Lane Kiffin. This will be the first game for interim head coach Ed Orgeron, which could cause difficulties for the Wildcats. The Trojans will likely be without two of their stars, as wide receiver Marqise Lee and linebacker Morgan Breslin are doubtful with injuries. Running back Justin Davis, wide receiver Darreus Rogers and wide receiver De'Von Flournoy are all questionable.
The Wildcats started the year with three blowout wins over Northern Arizona, UNLV, and UTSA. They traveled to face Washington and lost 31-13 following a bye week, however. Arizona has one of the top rushing offenses in the country and one of the best scoring defenses, but will look to succeed against actual competition for the first time this year. Middle linebacker Jake Fischer is questionable for the game with an ankle injury.
The numbers
Rankings and records: Neither team is ranked, but Arizona received votes in the Coaches' Poll. USC is 3-2 with an 0-2 record in Pac-12 play while Arizona is 3-1, but 0-1 in conference competition. The Trojans hold a 27-8 all-time lead in the series.
Vegas: USC is a six-point favorite, with an over/under of 48 points. OddsShark has more.
Weather: Mid 50s to 60s and clear skies.
Three names to know
B.J. Denker. Arizona's quarterback is very much a run-first kind of guy with six touchdowns on the ground compared to just two in the air. Rich Rodriguez's system relies heavily on the mobility of its quarterback and Denker's success will go a long way toward determining the Wildcats' fate.
Tra'Mayne Bondurant. The junior safety has three interceptions already for the Wildcats and has returned two for touchdowns. Against a very poor USC passing offense, he could make a huge impact in the game.
Tre Madden. Much of the Trojans' success on offense will rely on their running back, who is averaging 5.3 yards per carry this season.
Two things at stake
USC needs to win at every possible opportunity just to make a bowl game at this point.
Arizona had a bye week to prepare for their first Pac-12 road game. They'll want to do better this time around.
How to witness
TV: 10:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
Radio: Here's a list of Arizona affiliates. USC can be found on ESPN radio.
Online streaming: Not available.

On the Conficker Working Group's website, the Lessons Learned document has finally been made public. Sponsored by the US DHS, with key efforts at getting it written from Rick Wesson and David Dagon, the document was prepared by in large part by interviewing key folks in the CWG. The purpose was to explore all of the issues we encountered in the CWG, which was an unprecedented event. In short, the document helps illuminate challenges the information security community as a whole faces in the coming years.
As a member of the CWG, there are a number of takeaways for me. I think they illuminate a path for work in the coming years for many of us, which we will have to address collaboratively.
First, it should be clear that technology alone isn't the solution here. One of the focuses of the CWG was to ensure that all of the AV, IDS and related companies had timely access to the samples to write signatures against. These technologies and companies represent the front line of defense for all of us, end users, enterprises, and ISPs. As should be clear from the infection data, the numbers haven't plummeted, suggesting that gaps in addressing the problem exist. We have to explore how to get defenses and cleanup to more people more efficiently, if not preventing the infection in the first place. As someone in the CWG said, "we can't patch our way out of these worms."
Secondly, the world needs even better global coordination for such events, and clear authority to act for certain groups. In the case of the CWG, some organizations – such as ICANN – assumed authority for coordination when no one had such a clear mandate. In all cases everyone tread carefully and with the goals of protecting users forefront. You can see how contentious this winds up being by looking at the DNS-CERT discussions at ICANN, where issues like roles and responsibilities raise a lot of objections. Figuring out the groups that will choose issues to tackle and coordinating that globally is an open question.
A third – and technical – issue made visible in the experiences of the CWG is that we need tools to quickly tackle complex malware. Our tools are labor and time intensive, things that are in short supply when addressing the volume of threats we face in 2011. There's a clear set of technical needs and accomplishments that can easily be funded here.
I think the CWG report is worth a study for these and many more reasons. I'm proud to represent Arbor as we battle the worm and protect the global Internet.
Another after action report came from ICANN, who was instrumental in the response. The report was published in May, 2010, and is largely a timeline of events. The two together are very worthwhile reading if you are involved in the operational security community.

God in Chinatown is a path breaking study of the largest contemporary wave of new immigrants to Chinatown. Since the 1980s, tens of thousands of mostly rural Chinese have migrated from Fuzhou, on China's southeastern coast, to New York's Chinatown. Like the Cantonese who comprised the previous wave of migrants, the Fuzhou have brought with them their religious beliefs, practices, and local deities. In recent years these immigrants have established numerous specifically Fuzhounese religious communities, ranging from Buddhist, Daoist, and Chinese popular religion to Protestant and Catholic Christianity.
This ethnographic study examines the central role of these religious communities in the immigrant incorporation process in Chinatown's highly stratified ethnic enclave, as well as the transnational networks established between religious communities in New York and China. The author's knowledge of Chinese coupled with his extensive fieldwork in both China and New York enable him to illuminate how these networks transmit religious and social dynamics to the United States, as well as how these new American institutions influence religious and social relations in the religious revival sweeping southeastern China.
God in Chinatown is the first study to bring to light religion's significant role in the Fuzhounese immigrants' dramatic transformation of the face of New York's Chinatown.
Kenneth J. Guest is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Baruch College, CUNY, and Senior Research Consultant at the International Center for Migration, Ethnicity, and Citizenship.
"This path-breaking work offers a new angle from which to appreciate the resiliency of new immigrants. The Fuzhounese are shown using religious institutions to build supportive networks to help them cope with debt burdens, family separations, tenuous immigration status and the dehumanizing effects of working under sweatshop conditions."
"Chock full of great quotes and insights, Ken Guest's eight years of fieldwork and research has produced a wonderful study on the role of religious networks in transnational migration. While mindful of exploitation and geopolitics, Guest zeroes in on the decisions and meanings migrants make of their own lives for themselves and for their families."
"The excellent vignettes throughout the book further show, in striking detail, how immigrants from Fuzhou use the language and ideas of their faith traditions to make sense of their journeys and their daily lives in the United States. This book is a welcome addition to recent research about religion and the post-1965 immigrants."
"God in Chinatown is useful for historians as well as those interested in the sociology of religion, the Chinese Diaspora, or New York City."
"God in Chinatown is an important study for historians and social scientists. Guest has . . . expanded the horizons of students of ethnic history."

Rebels Swept Away At The Beach
Aug. 27, 2010
LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV Rebels (0-2) suffered a 3-0 (21-25, 21-25, 16-25) defeat Friday night in the Long Beach State Baden Classic to the host 49ers in the Walter Pyramid. UNLV got strong showings from freshmen Madeline Westman and Sekola Falemaka in the loss to LBSU, who sits on the outside looking in in the AVCA Preseason Top 25 Poll at 26th.
Westman, who racked up six kills earlier Friday in a 3-0 loss to #25 Saint Mary's, threw down a team-best 10 kills this evening against LBSU. Westman hit at a .278 clip with five errors in 18 attempts.
Candice Thomas owned the best hitting efficiency for UNLV with her .444 tally with five kills and one error in nine swings.
Amanda Alles went back to being the primary setter for UNLV after sharing duties in the SMC loss and dished out 27 of the team's 29 registered assists.
Falemaka, who was playing in her second career match, recorded a team-best 10 digs.
LBSU out-hit UNLV by a .297 to .137 effort. The 49ers began the match with a .257 output in the first frame and kept improving as the match progressed with a .267 efficiency in the second and .385 in the third. UNLV, on the other hand, opened with a .235 efficiency before dropping to .152 (second) and .000 (third).
The 49ers got a double-double from Janisa Johnson, who tied for match- and team-highs in kills and digs with 12 and 11, respectively. Caitlin Ledoux tied Johnson for the match-high in kills with 12 of her own.
Ashley Vazquez led LBSU in assists with a match-high 32, while Lauren Minkel added 11 digs of her own.
UNLV returns to action Saturday afternoon at 12:00 pm with its third and final contest in the LBSU Baden Classic. The Rebels will square off against the Rutgers Scarlett Knights

A quick dunk as heron snaps up a hearty frog breakfast
7:30am Saturday 4th January 2014 in News
THIS hungry heron swooped for a quick snack when he visited Oxford Mail photographer George Reszeter's garden pond.
The bird scoffed a frog right before the lens of the snapper last month when he landed in the garden in Wootton, near Abingdon.
- The heron strikes
Mr Reszeter, 59, said: "I had seen this heron before, he was always very wary. The slightest movement and he was away.
"But this time he came in and didn't move at all, he was transfixed by something on the edge of the pond.
"I got out my tripod and my 500mm lens, and set it up then all of a sudden he lunged forward and got hold of this great big frog. He dunked it a coupled of times to wash off the leaves, then he swallowed it whole."
- The prey is cleaned

Is this the same George Reszeter who went to Cumnor School and was a decent young cricketer and footballer.? Living in Wootton I imagine it could be. Used to photograph Oxford United games for the OM? Sorry George I always had you down as slightly older as I thought we were in the same year.

so i don't have a speed buckle harness my self but i do have a belt that tightened the same way.So as i was tightening my belt the other day it popped and released and i immediately thought of a few recent MP posts and i have figured out why there fail here are some pics this is the belt just normal
for a speed adjust harness to do that the metal buckles would have to be stressed so much that they deformed and/or broke. That is not what has been happening...
I see your problem is that your pants don't fit right there too big. I sugest you down size to a smaller size.
Can i get a NSFW please. ew.
no polar camo for the boxers??
I'm just psyched that the OP wasn't going commando.
ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. this is good stuff.
Hey OP, it might be time for a new pair of undies. Those ones have a hole in them. Thank goodness I didn't accidentally get a glimpse of your nether regions.
Hilarious!!! Love the camo cargo shorts...haven't seen those in a decade!!
Hilarious! Love the post.
You might want to return that belt, might put you on the predators list if it fails near a school.
WTF no spiderman undies!!!! What kind of climber are you!
Damn, you guys are really slamming jafrizza here. He's just posting his theory. Good job jafrizza, I like your theory, but don't think it will prove to be true. It's good to get feedback.
I don't think this test will be entirely legitimate until you go climbing with this belt in place of your harness and see if it works.

I've enjoyed the discussion Jonnypops' Pixies poll has generated, but I've been surprised there are some people who aren't familiar with the Pixies. I thought I'd ask a poll question for a band pretty much everybody is familiar with: Led Zeppelin.
Let's how many people pick In Through the Out Door.
In my mind this poll connects to the Pixies poll because I'm convinced that 50% of the Pixies musical output is derivative of the Led Zeppelin song "Over the Hills and Far Away"
Anyone who actually saw Led Zeppelin when John Bonham was alive gets to vote multiple times. There were a few kids at my high school who saw them play at the Live Aid concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia (anyone remember that place?) with Phil Collins on drums in 1984. That doesn't count.

I'm London based and first used Clare Handsaker to deliver flowers to my mum in Sutton Coldfield. She was absolutely delighted with them - raving about them in fact! It was such a relief - as you never really know what you're going to get when you order via the phone. I have used her three times since. Excellent quality and price on beautiful hand-tied bouquets - and I now wouldn't use anyone else. It's a family business run by someone who clearly cares about getting your repeat business. Highly recommended.

I'm sick of people saying that double-unders is their weakness. It's one of the easiest movements to master with just a few minutes of practice a day. Stop using your gym's beat-up ropes. Buy your own rope, adjust it to your height, and practice, practice, practice.


text: I think those shoes are Fires ("Fee-rays"), not EB's. By 1985, most climbers had switched over to the super-sticky Fires. Also, painter's pants were a 1970's thing. (People wore 'em because Hot Henry was wearin' 'em.) By 1985, the classic painter's pants look was rare. It would be like wearing day-glo, late-80's lycra tights today.

text: This is the ultimate hits album by what I consider the greatest band in the universe. Now if you are a true Journey fan you should also have the original albums. "Escape" and "Frontiers" are two of the best rock albums in history; "Infinity", "Evolution", and "Departure" are all fantastic classic rock albums; and even "Raised On Radio", which marked the beginning of Journey and particularly Steve Perry not rocking as hard, has some great tracks. All of these albums are represented on this collection. The big hit rockers and ballads are all here. In addition, you have the excellent inclusion of two movie soundtrack songs that were not previously on Journey releases: the top 10 "Only The Young" and the equally fantastic "Ask The Lonely". That alone makes this a must-purchase whether you have all their other albums or not. Just a fantastic summary of the premier years of one of the most enjoyable bands in rock and roll history. Sorry borish music critics: nothing "faceless" about this band–especially compared to most of the grunge and then boy bands of the '90's. This is as good as it gets–in any era.

The gist is that the French security forces are shutting down the impromptu "bars" (kind of like off-licence places I guess?) that have popped up along the route for the last few years. The zone in which these establishments are banned includes, notably, "4 cobbled sections, the most important ones at the end of the race." I assume this means one can still bring one's own booze? Anyways just thought I should warn the PdC contingent!

Watford striker Bernard Mensah to have knee surgery next week
Updated 11:11am Tuesday 25th March 2014 in Sport By Joel Turner
Hornets striker Bernard Mensah will almost certainly not play again this season as he is set to undergo knee surgery.
Mensah had a scan on Friday to reveal the full extent of the damage and Watford today confirmed he will have surgery next week.
The 19-year-old was playing for loan club Braintree Town against Lincoln City on March 18 when he suffered the injury.
Alan Devonshire, the Conference side's manager, was seething about the challenge after the 2-0 defeat.
"It's a scandalous tackle and [we're talking about] a young kid's career. I'm sorry, I'm fuming about it," Devonshire told BBC Essex.
"The football match doesn't matter to me. We lost a game, that doesn't matter to me.
"That boy's career is more important. A tackle like that is horrendous. There is no room for it in football."
Tom Miller, the player who made the challenge, later took to Twitter to insist he didn't intend to injury Mensah and felt his tackle was honest.
"Hope the Braintree lad is fine! I never would intend to hurt anyone," Miller said.
"Braintree's manager needs to get a grip! My tackle was honest!"
Prior to his injury, Mensah had managed two goals in nine appearances for Braintree Town.
The Academy graduate, whose contract expires in 2016, made his Watford first team debut as a 79th minute substitute against Bolton Wanderers on November 23.

Does not say what type of injury or how serious it is - 'Mensah had a scan on Friday to reveal the full extent of the damage and Watford today confirmed he will have surgery next week'.
