I thought it would be an interesting exercise to do an Eagles redraft that instead of using hindsight used foresight. Over the years I've often found myself in discussions with other Eagles fans about the reliability of draft prognosticators player ranking. The thought occurred to me to do an Eagles redraft using one of the so called scout's player ranking list from before the actual draft. The way I did this was to choose a draft far enough in the past that hindsight would allow us to judge the actual teams picks vs the prognosticators rankings. Then in the redraft I would always take the highest rated player on the value chart who remained undrafted at the point of the Eagles pick irregardless of the teams needs or other draft picks. I choose the 2008 draft for several reasons; with four years in the league we have a good idea of quality of the picks also the 2008 draft included one of the Eagles best draft hits in Desean Jackson and one of the Eagles most egregious reaches in Bryan Smith.
I choose the 2008 big board from NFL Draft Bible merely because it was the first big board that came up in a Google search that was big enough to encompass the entire Eagles draft. Below is the actual Eagles draft from 2008.
Round 2 Pick 47 Trevor Laws
Round 2 Pick 49 Desean Jackson
Round 3 Pick 80 Bryan Smith
Round 4 Pick 109 Mike McGlynn
Round 4 Pick 117 Quintin Demps
Round 4 Pick 131 Jack Ikegwuonu
Round 6 Pick 184 Mike Gibson
Round 6 Pick 200 Joe Mays
Round 6 Pick 203 Andy Studebaker
Round 7 Pick 230 King Dunlap
Below is the way the Eagles draft would have gone if Andy Reid had the NFL Draft Bible big board as his only resource. In parenthesis after the players name is where they were ranked on the big board.
Round 2 Pick 47 Malcolm Kelly (Ranked 12)
Round 2 Pick 49 Dan Conner (Ranked 15)
Round 3 Pick 80 Carl Nicks (Ranked 16)
Round 4 Pick 109 Anthony Collins (Ranked 39)
Round 4 Pick 117 Erin Henderson (Ranked 42)
Round 4 Pick 131 Gary Guyton (Ranked 45)
Round 6 Pick 184 Josh Barrett (Ranked 74)
Round 6 Pick 200 Wesley Woodyard (Ranked 83)
Round 6 Pick 203 Cory Boyd (Ranked 94)
Round 7 Pick 230 Jo-Lunn Dunbar (Ranked 130)
I have to admit that I hated putting Malcolm Kelly in there because it must have been pretty obvious how bad his knee was to the rest of the NFL by the time the draft rolled around but I stuck to my original parameters. I also would not trade the services of Desean Jackson for anything. But even those who pooh-pooh predraft value charts and big boards would have to admit this would have been a good draft. When you look at it the only pick that keeps this from being a much better draft than the Eagles actually made is the Desean Jackson pick.

322 dead, 300 missing in the wake Philippine Typhoon Bopha
322 dead, 300 missing in the wake Philippine Typhoon Bopha,
More than 300 people have died and hundreds more are missing in the wake of Typhoon Bopha, which cut a swathe of devastation across the southern Philippines.
The Civil Defence Office said at least 325 people were confirmed dead and another 379 missing.
People were killed in eight provinces but eastern Mindanao was worst-hit.
In Compostela Valley province alone at least Tens of thousands of people were moved to shelters ahead of the typhoon, but in one town in Compostela Valley the shelters themselves were swept away by flash floods.
"According to (survivors), there is a small lake on the mountain that gave way so the waters flowed down, not just along the rivers… but all across, like a waterfall, bringing a slurry that covered the whole town," Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said.
Rescue teams are still working to reach communities in some isolated areas.
The typhoon came almost a year after Typhoon Washi struck northern Mindanao with devastating consequences. More than 1,300 people died when that storm struck, as rivers burst their banks and swamped communities.
The UN said that improved early warning systems had saved lives this time.
But President Benigno Aquino said more needed to be done.
"Any single casualty is a cause for distress. Our aim must always be about finding ways to lessen them," he said.
The typhoon is now moving past the Philippines into the South China Sea.
The US has offered help to both the Philippines and Palau, which was also hit by the storm earlier in the week.
"Our embassies in Manila and Koror have offered immediate disaster relief assistance, and we are working closely with authorities in both countries to offer additional assistance as needed," deputy State Department spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement.
184 people died, many when flash floods hit emergency shelters.
"We have 325 dead and this is expected to rise because many more are missing," civil defence chief Benito Ramos told a news conference early on Thursday.
"Communications are bogged down, there is no electricity, roads and bridges have been destroyed," he said. "We're still on a search-and-rescue mode."
'Like a waterfall'
The storm struck Mindanao island on Tuesday, bringing very high winds and heavy rain. Roofs were blown off houses and the rain led to both landslides and flooding.

Operation Heart of the Home : Shopping for the perfect backsplash tile edition
In our last kitchen, we shelled out the big bucks for the top-o-the-line granite (yes I said that with a Scottish accent – try it, it's fun!) and for new, well, everything. And this time around, we didn't need to replace the countertops or the flooring or appliances or cabinets….so our budget was much smaller. The one thing I told Jeremy that we shouldn't skimp on was the backsplash tile. To me, our budget was 'squishy' when it came to getting the right tile. Squishy as in…we would spend more if we fell in love…because to me, a good tile can make a kitchen or break it. We had dedicated $1K to the right tile. I figured that since most of our makeover was paint related, it was already a lower-budget reno…and that we could probably find the proverbial diamond in the rough tile for about $15 per square foot.
Now imagine me crapping in my pants. Yup. I went there.
Sorry mom for using the "c" word. But seriously ma, you would have too if you found out that The Tile Shop was so freakishly generous. Yes, my favorite tile store offered up free backsplash tile of my choice. I felt like I won the MegaMillions lottery…and let's face it, 'tile' is the new word for 'bucks', 'greenbacks', and 'bones' so it's basically the same thing.
Jer and I hit up the local branch during his lunch break to see (ahemtouchstrokeandfondle) all the tile in person. I could have pulled an Ikeaism and moved right in. I was immediately attracted to the marble…
Why yes, I do pretend to wash my hair in public while fully dressed for iphone photos. That's totally normal.
I loved how they mixed the hex and the subway together. Two thumbs up Tile Shop.
Love the contrast here…and the dark shiny subway tile in the shower and the mirrors and the vanity.
ok. I admit. I love it all.
Check out those lovely feet on the vanity…totally could do this on a build-grade cabinet. Of course, it wouldn't have a marble top or a tooth brush holder for my Oral B
The most inspiring space for us was the little marble and white cabinet kitchen. It is so close to the kind of look we are going for in our own kitchen so seeing it all together is really inspiring. I drooled. in public.
Will and Weston are hanging their wee heads in shame.
I knew I wanted marble…the trouble was whether I should go with a polished or tumbled finish. I found out that the polished finish usually resists stains better. Tumbled is easier to clean. Polished reflects light more and scratches more easily. So I weighed the pros and cons and finally decided that the polished was my jam.
I also briefly considered some other alternatives…like a basketweave but in the end, I love these but think they would be a better fit for a floor.
So what did we choose?
We went with the 2″ hex marble tile in polished marble and chose a clean pencil tile trim pieces for the open edges we have.
So that's how we
inappropriately touched chose tile….
So that's our little shopping adventure. Did you totally see the hex tile coming? It's not a huge statement…but classy enough for me with the marble and a little more fancy with the shape that it blends traditional and trendy just enough for me. Anyone else use polished marble as a backsplash? Perhaps you just wanna tell me what your budget is 'squishy' for when it comes to kitchen makeovers? Or maybe you are still just convulsing from those 'fondling' photos?
Next up for the kitchen is the tiling….yeah…a very pregnant Katie putting up tile…it's gonna be fun
disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. The Tile Shop did not ask me to do a shopping recap or feature any of their products or showrooms….it's just that I get tingly thinking about tile and we would have shopped there anyway…so this post was bound to happen regardless of us getting hooked up by an advertiser or not. Also, my apologies to our local showroom for making things awkward.

I can't wait to see what you picked, your kitchen is coming together so well! I'm sure your happy to have most of it done before your newbie arrived!!

Nope. Didn't see the hex tile coming. I would have thought you would have chosen
the subway style. But, I love it.
December 4, 2012
I love all the "very pregnant" home improvement work. When I was 7.5 months pregnant with my first, I was on my hands and knees, refinishing hardwood floors. (Although I was not allowed to use the product, because of fumes.) When I was about that far along with my second, I tiled an entire dining room/kitchen floor with 16″ tiles (not my favorite project) and then tiled a backsplash a bit later. I even have a picture of me with my newborn in a sling while I tiled a fireplace. I look forward to the next house we need to improve – my kids (hopefully) won't be attached to me for those projects!

awesome katie!! I love the Tile Shop…i love any tile shop really!
can't wait to see it!

So that Tile shop is right down the road from our tiny condo we are renting and yes I shamelessly visit and lust over all the beautiful tile work at least once a month. I also pretend I live in each set up they have and dream One day I will own a home again I can renovate…. I love the tile you chose and cannot wait to see it up!!!
December 4, 2012
I also love hex marble! So pretty… I've heard over and over again that investing a little more moola in the backplash is a good call because it's a very visible area in the kitchen, but it's usually not that much square footage. You get more bang (impact) for your buck!
December 4, 2012
Love hex tile! Our backsplash was here when we moved in. My mother-in-law just visited and told us that she's pretty sure it's tumbled marble. Which makes me a little sad because apparently someone spent a fortune on it and….I don't really like it. It's FINE, but just…fine. Square and brownish. I wish they'd bought new furnaces instead and left the kitchen for ME to do!
Olivia permalinkDecember 4, 2012
super classy choice! also, didn't i remember from some long ago post that the husband has a super long commute? did you guys drive hours just for these tiles??! super excited to see them up!
Carrie permalinkDecember 4, 2012
Ha! We will be backsplash twins (or at least cousins). We remodeled our kitchen this past summer and used tile shops marble hex tile, but in the 1 inch size (we have a smaller kitchen and I liked the more intricate look of the smaller tile in our space). Wish I knew how to share a pic! Anyway, we love it and I get tons of compliments on it.
December 4, 2012
Ahhh! The tile you chose is gorgeous! I cannot wait to see how it looks up in your kitchen!
valerie shea permalinkDecember 4, 2012
fun fact about the tile shop: they have fabricators that come in and make the lay outs of the staged rooms. they make the walls, cabinets, and everything… AND they have someone to come in and stage each room in their show rooms. how about THAT for an awesome job???? **my fiancee works at the tile shop here in richmond**
the tile is going to look amazeballs KB! cant wait to see the finished product + more pics of your adorable boys!
Leah permalinkDecember 4, 2012
Great choices! They'll look great in your kitchen. However, your sponsored posts make me a little disappointed. Your everyday DIYer and reader are never going to be chosen by the Tile Shop to receive over a thousand dollars worth of free tile. It's unrealistic for us and we can't relate.
December 4, 2012
Oh my gosh. It's like a kid in a candy store! I can't even imagine getting to do that. FUN! Can't wait to see it installed!

Hey Katie-
I don't think I have ever actually commented before, but I am so glad you put in a picture of that basketweave marble tile. Was is the Biltmore Niles, perchance? I have been looking for tile for my bathroom floor FOREVER. I had a crush on that one but there isn't a Tile Shop anywhere even sorta near where I live. It's so much different grouted in the sample you shot than in the photo online… I think I love it even more now. I was also thinking about a polished marble tile for my kitchen backsplash. Problem is, my few in-person checks to sources nearby have revealed gorgeous samples with the actual stock being completely different. In this case, no veining, almost at all. Nothing like the samples. So I got frustrated and gave up for a bit.
Hilary permalinkDecember 4, 2012
I don't know what's funnier – the pic of you washing your hair or your boyfriend groping the cabinet. You crack me up! Love the tile choice. No doubt it will be completely gorgeous in your kitchen!!
Melissa permalinkDecember 6, 2012
I love your website and the tile!
It's hard not to get a little jealous of the cool freebies you score. What all freebies have you gotten for this house so far? The tile obviously, and I remember all the door locks outside, the paint sprayer (?), any others? I think it's neat to see what you've done with what you've been given.
December 7, 2012
I wish I can also a bathroom like this my all attention is grabbed at tiles and countertops loving it. That's what I call a stage of perfection
harlie permalinkDecember 11, 2012
This post had me totally confused until I refreshed the site a couple of times. For some reason, my browser brought up all the wrong images! For instance, instead of a photo of you "washing" your hair, I saw a pic of Will next to a tower of random items he had obviously stacked (it was quite impressive!) and instead of Jeremy fondling cabinetry, I saw an image of Weston snoozing angelicly.
I totally just thought you had posted random pics of your babies because they're just so stinkin' cute, but then all the comments started getting really weird…
Janice permalinkAugust 13, 2014
What is the type of marble in your back splash? It looks like Calacatta, but our Tile shop did not carry that. You did a great job and I'm inspired to try the tiling.

My name is Cheesy Beef Burrito
This comes from article three of the NFL rulebook:
"A player is in possession when he is in firm grip and control of the ball inbounds. To gain possession of a loose ball that has been caught, intercepted or recovered, a player must have complete control of the ball and have both feet completely on the ground inbounds or any other part of his body, other than his hands, on the ground inbounds. If the player loses the ball while simultaneously touching both feet or any other part of his body to the ground or if there is any doubt that the acts were simultaneous, there is no possession. This rule applies to the field of play and in the end zone."
Take special note of the line I bolded in black.
Now what is it in the rules that led you to believe that there are different rules for the field of play and the end zone? I think the fact that this line is in the rulebook clearly supports my claim that there is no differentiating between the two
How, then, are those people of the futurewho are taking steroids every daygoing to look back on baseball players who used steroids? They're going to look back on them as pioneers. They're going to look back at it and say "So what?" - Bill James, Cooperstown and the 'Roids
I think there's a chance it would be ruled a catch out on the field due to the second-act thing mentioned earlier. The receiver did not drop the ball when he hit the ground. The defender knocked it out, but only after the receiver was already on the ground stretching the ball forward. If that happens on the 5-yard line instead, does that make it an incomplete pass, a fumble or down by contact? Danged if I know for sure.
Not all who wander are lost
Your problem is that you want to keep watching -- "See," you say, "the ball came free at the end there. No catch!" Once the ball breaks the plane, play over. It isn't that way on the 50 yard line or anywhere else on the field. On the goal line, the play is over before Moore loses the ball.
Championships Matter.
23 Years and Counting...
Sea Ray I get your point, but I think had that ball been caught on the 40 yard line it would have been ruled incomplete. I think the refs would have interpreted the rule different had it not happened at the goal line.
I don't get blaming Manning for this game. I thought he was just about as "on" as he's been throughout the playoffs. Some of the throws he made were incredible. He threw two passes to Dallas Clark on the run that were pinpoint passes. The TD pass he threw was a great pass. He should have had two TDs, but Wayne dropped the ball at the end. It may not have mattered because they still needed the onside kick. The pick-6 was a mis-communication between Wayne and Manning, but that's going to happen a couple times a game when you don't huddle and use hand signals for everything. You just have to hope those balls fall incomplete.
The Colts lost because the Saints were better, at least during that game (and maybe overall). Keeping Manning on the sideline for the second quarter is a huge reason the Saints won. And the decision for the Colts to run the ball up the middle three straight times at the end of the second quarter didn't make any sense, they haven't done that in those situations all season. The onside kick to start the second half was a great call by S. Peyton, and he out coached Caldwell the whole game, big time.
The Colts may have been able to over come all of that if Freeney had been able to play up to his normal ability. The Colts got no pressure on Brees and he's too good to give that much time.

Judge says funding 'provides assistance' for 'terrorist acts'
There were a large number of police officers at the High Court in Glasgow, where the judge told Nasserdine Menni, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for funding terrorism:
Funding provides assistance for those who would carry out terrorist acts.The sentencing of the court must reflect the potential use.
Menni was convicted of giving money to Taimour Abdulwahab, who blew himself up in the Swedish capital on December 11 2010.
The court heard that Menni plans to appeal against his conviction.
His defence counsel said immigration authorities had said they would try to have him thrown out of the UK.

HOT SPRINGS (AP) - Ebony Rowe had 20 points and 13 rebounds Monday, helping Middle Tennessee reach the NCAA tournament for the fifth straight season with a 53-48 win over Arkansas-Little Rock in the Sun Belt Conference championship game.

Kortni Jones added 15 points for the Blue Raiders, who will make their seventh NCAA appearance in the last eight years.
The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for UALR, which was led by Shanity James' 14 points.

An elderly couple is facing criminal charges after stealing from the home of a woman who had passed away.
Eleanor and Lamar Melson told FOX 5 they did nothing wrong.
According to police, the Melsons have been cleaning units at the Mount Vernon Towers for years.
Sandy Springs Police said they have surveillance video to prove the Melsons are guilty.
According to police, the couple stole two vases worth $3,000, a number of clothes and furs. Police said they were given a chance to return the stolen goods but they did not.
According to the Melsons, they gave most of the stuff back when police asked for it.
The Melsons plan to fight the charges in court. Police are looking to see if other residents had things stolen at the complex where the couple cleaned.

NY City Council Passes Resolution Calling for the Recognition of Two Muslim Holidays in City School System
More News...
A diverse coalition of more than 80 community, labor, civil rights and religious organizations from throughout New York City came out to applaud the New York City Council Education Committees action in passing Resolution 1281, a resolution calling on the Department of Education to provide equal treatment and include the two holiest Muslim Holidays in the New York City public school calendar. Speakers urged the full City Council to pass the resolution and for the Department of Education to recognize the holidays.
"Equality is a concept enshrined in our national Constitution and upheld at state and local levels of government. said Councilmember Robert Jackson, This legislation delivers on that promise to New York City public school students by allowing them to exercise their Constitutional right to practice their faith without compromising their attendance record at school. I'm proud to have sponsored this bill."
Because we respect the religious diversity represented in our schools, we recognize that students have the right to observe the special days on their religious calendars. We join in support of the students, parents and educators who are seeking a way to incorporate Muslim holidays into the existing school calendar, said Amina Rachman, Special Assistant to the President, United Federation of Teachers.
Recognition of the two holidays will remove the unfair choice that 1 out of every 8 New York City Public School children currently have to make between being marked absent and celebrating their most major holidays. The vast majority 95% of Muslim school-age children attend public schools in New York City. While this recognition will have a minimal impact on the actual school calendar, it will be an enormous step toward inclusion.

UnityPoint Health has announced there has been a breach in security for its electronic medical records.
In a news release sent Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2013, UnityPoint says the personal information of approximately 1,800 hospital patients may be at risk.
The announcement comes after a routine audit of the electronic medical record system in August detected "a pattern of unusual access to patient data". UnityPoint found that a person employed by a third-party, gained access by using someone else's password. UnityPoint shut off access and reported the matter to police.

Chef Jonathon Sawyer serves up some workplace advice
Blog Entry:
December 05, 2012 6:00 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
You probably know
Jonathon Sawyer
as one of Cleveland's high-profile celebrity chefs. But this week, at least, he's also playing the role of workplace advice columnist.
Mr. Sawyer, whose restaurants include The Greenhouse Tavern and Noodlecat, is among the contributors this week to a
Washington Post
web feature called "On Small Business," in which a panel of young entrepreneurs offers answers to questions faced by small business owners.
This week's questions, as it happens, are all about workplace/employee-employer issues.
For instance,
this question
asks for tips on simple, inexpensive methods that can make a workplace more employee-friendly.
Mr. Sawyer's response, in part: "We've found the most success in mutual respect, and we work hard to create an educational environment. … I think the most effective chefs are just like the best teachers. Utilizing positive reinforcement and encouraging creativity makes the kitchen a place of collaboration and development, not a factory of uninspired, insipid garbage food. We also encourage all of our employees to work hard and constantly advance their skills and knowledge."
, the panel is asked for advice on enforcing employee hours.
"We only care about employees being on time and/or early," Mr. Sawyer says. "Our salaried managers definitely abide by a 'get the job' done policy, but as it is in the restaurant world, they work long hours and their passion keeps them in the office/kitchen until the job is done. We do monitor servers and hourly employees in order to keep labor costs in line, but if you're a motivated employee and ready to work, we have no problem with overtime or extra hours."
To help
retain top talent
Mr. Sawyer suggests that companies make significant investments in training, in addition to offering competitive pay and benefits.
"We also believe in performance-based bonuses for operating managers, and partnering in as profit partners for mid to upper-level employees," he says.
Feeling restless
Americans are
really unhappy with their jobs
, according to a survey of more than 700 employees by Right Management, the talent and career management expert within ManpowerGroup.
A startling
of the employees polled said they plan to look for a new position in 2013, while another 8% said they may do so and are already networking. Only 5% says they are firmly committed to staying in their current position, according to the survey.
I suspect the numbers represent people's feelings rather than their actual plans. Even so, Right Management finds that the percentage of workers responding that are actively seeking new positions has risen consistently from 60% in 2009, when the job market was very tight.
"At a minimum, the survey findings are a sign of considerable job dissatisfaction throughout North America," says Owen Sullivan, CEO of Right Management, in a statement.
"The constant drumbeat of downsizing coupled with the expectation to do more with less has put an added amount of stress on workers," he says. "Ongoing economic uncertainty and volatility around job growth and job security have warranted the exploration of new positions. This kind of frustration may not be unusual, even in a strong job market. But the levels of discontent we're now finding have to be without precedent. … When more than four-out-of-five workers seem so unhappy it ought to concern top management."
Money not-so-well spent
Forbes.com runs a
good, succinct analysis
of a fantastic
New York Times
of the $80 billion that American states, counties and cities offer to businesses each year in job-creation incentives.
The bottom line: "In many cases such programs are totally wasteful and in some they are positively counterproductive."
From the Forbes.com piece:
Take, for instance, the so-called transplants set up by Japanese auto companies in places like Ohio and Kentucky. Though the incentives have been spread around these corporations' keiretsu affiliates and are therefore difficult to quantify, it is clear that the sums involved have been enormous. Yet they have also been utterly unnecessary. Why? Because the decision by the Japanese to set up assembly operations on American soil was based primarily on political rather than economic considerations. Even if no state had offered any incentives, the Japanese would have come anyway. Their concern was to soothe trade tensions and spike the guns of protectionist interests. The net effect of all the subsidies was further to undermine jobs in an already devastated Michigan.
Forbes.com concludes, "Americans used to thinking in terms of maximizing their individual private interests rarely consider the big picture. But there is a big picture and it is becoming increasingly troubling."

Vintage cars set to be the stars of the show at Bournemouth Wheels Festival
10:00am Sunday 18th May 2014 in News By Emma Joseph
In 1928, cars rallied to Bournemouth from all over the UK in a competition which was set to replicate the Monte Carlo Rally.
Hailed as one of the best motoring gatherings of the era, the first ever Concours d'Elegance is to be celebrated with an exclusive gathering of vintage cars at Bournemouth's first Wheels Festival this month.
More than 50 prestige marques such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, Bugatti, Talbot, MG, Riley and Frazer Nash will feature among many more evocative names from the carefree art deco era.
Bournemouth Pavilion will be the backdrop for the display on the Saturday and Sunday of the festival, which runs from May 24 to 26.
"We don't want it to be a full-blown concours event," explained Gillian Carr from Historic Promotions, which is overseeing the vintage aspect of Wheels.
"It can be a bit off-putting for people and it's perceived as a bit stuffy these days. Each participant that brings a vintage car will be given a card and we've got some fun competitions so they will go round and nominate, so it's very informal.
"At the end of each day, these cars will then go out and close the clifftop competition course."
Members of the public are invited to take their own vintage cars down, but they do need to be pre-registered and built before 1941. Participants and spectators are invited to dress in vintage clothes to complement the display.
Visitors can also enjoy a truly classic sight as a number of vintage vehicles will be taking part in a very special race along the cliff-top competition course.
"There will be a category for pre-war racing cars," said Gillian.
"It's an exclusive selection of iconic, pre-war racing cars coming from the best collections in the country, so it will be a real coup.
"It's something for people to enjoy."
Organisers of the festival are hoping to set an unusual record at the event.
As part of the Wheels Night Ride on the evening of the final day of the three-day festival, Monday, May 26, thousands of 'Bears on Bikes' will be setting off from Boscombe Pier.
Starting at around 6pm, they will head for Bournemouth town centre to complete a circuit on closed-off roads for the Bears on Bikes community ride, with the aim of making it the most ever seen.
The Bournemouth Wheels Festival is working with Bournemouth Round Table to raise money for the Round Table Children's Wish charity, which grants wishes to young people with life-threatening illnesses.
Mark Smith, Bournemouth's director of tourism, said: "This fun and unique event is open to everyone from cycling groups to families. All you have to do is attach a bear to your bike – or even dress up as one – and register through Round Table Children's Wish to take part and help make a child's dream come true."
Bears on Bikes will be the start of the Wheels Night Ride, an evening of entertainment for families.
The community event will feature a fast-paced racing circuit, nightglow spectacular and fireworks to end the evening with a bang.
To register your vintage car for the display, call Gillian Carr at Historic Promotions on 01386 840321.
The Wheels Festival is expected to attract 360,000 people to the town and other attractions will include a motorbike pier jump, monster trucks and rally car demonstrations.
The free weekend will see around 100 events in the gardens, at the seafront, on the cliff tops and at Meyrick Park over the three days.
There will be BMX stunts, classic cars, monster trucks, supercars and much more.
Jon Weaver, Wheels Festival director, said: "It's a new and exciting festival to be part of and marks the start of Bournemouth's great spring/summer entertainment programme."

No, that is Fully Automatic with MSC (Manual Settings Change) and is the easiest way to AFMA a 5D3
The thing I'm really confused about is the difference between the Standard and Plus versions as I have a 5D3 which won't do fully automatic anyway.
Is the Semi Auto the one where it does everything and all I have to do is input the settings in the camera? If so, then that is all I need, the Plus would be a waste of money.
From what I read, I'd probably prefer the Manual Mode (where you shoot the target with different AFMA values and then load them into FoCal) over the Semi-auto mode. The latter doesn't seem to be easy to use
Excellent. Thanks!

At this point you should have the following information:
Determining the Redshifts -
For each galaxy you can estimate the redshift, z from each of the spectral features you have measured, using the restframe wavelengths of the features given in the table. The redshift is simply given by:
The values of z from the different lines should be in good agreement, if they're not you have probably misidentified a feature in the spectrum - go back and take a second look. Average the different redshift estimates for each galaxy and use the scatter between the values to determine the statistical accuracy of each redshift.
Putting it all together - The figure below shows the apparent angular size of a galaxy as it relates its real physical size (D) and distance (R). We next need to convert the redshift measurements made above into recession velocities in km/sec and the angular diameters measured earlier for the galaxies in arcseconds into radians using the conversions given below. The last piece of information needed to estimate the Hubble Constant from your observations is the mean diameter of a galaxy, D. D is estimated to be typically 20 kpc using the sizes of nearby giant Spiral galaxies for which accurate distances have been measured from Cepheid variable stars. You can now estimate the Hubble Constant from each of your galaxies and then average these individual measurements together to estimate a mean value of the Hubble Constant from the sample as a whole. What is the statistical error in your measurement?
The following sections of course text books will provide background information on the astronomy discussed in this exercise.
The Extragalactic and Cosmology group in the Physics Department at Durham is one of the leading research groups in Europe tackling the properties of galaxies in the distant Universe and their formation and evolution. This research includes work on the Hubble Deep Field, gravitational lensing and theoretical work on galaxy formation and evolution. More details of the research undertaken in Durham can be found here.
Thanks to Dennis Zartisky for the original concept behind this lab and also Luis Mendoza, Doug Scott for some of the plots and text used in the background of this experiment. Also thanks to the PPARC, the Royal Society and the University of New South Wales who paid enough for me to be able to sit and write this while enjoying the sunny vistas from my window in Sydney and drinking yet more good scotch.

Abstract—Independently updated views (IUVs) are updated versions of a relational view. Unlike traditional views, updating an IUV changes only that IUV and not the underlying database. Updates to an IUV are stored in a differential table (DT) and incorporated when the IUV is accessed. There is no restriction on the type of query used to define the IUV. Applications of IUVs include alternative scenarios for decision support, local updating of distributed snapshots, and CAD versioning. IUVs allow versions to be defined on dynamic databases. This may cause inconsistencies because both the IUV and the base tables on which the IUV is defined can be updated independently of one another. We introduce "overlapping updates" that cause such inconsistencies and present algorithms for their detection and resolution using timestamps. These algorithms do not impose additional overhead on the database and require only the modification of the DT. A performance analysis indicates that the cost of querying IUVs is reasonable for a wide range of queries, views, and access strategies. We also consider a materialized implementation of IUVs. Materialized IUVs do not require a DT, relying instead on additional system columns for operation codes and timestamps. Results suggest a mix of implementation strategies for different types of IUV applications, depending on the frequency and nature of queries on the IUVs, the IUV sizes, and how actively the base tables are updated.

In what ways, do you think, does humankind continue to evolve?
Answer me this 24: Homo Sapiens
{ 5 comments… read them below or add one }
- February 11, 2011 at 8:21 am
Yes. I love the quote on the Molecular Biology Building at Iowa State University: "Human beings are not yet wise enough to direct the course of evolution." Everything is constantly changing, regardless of whether or not we have the benefit of looking back and seeing it from thousands of years from now.
- February 11, 2011 at 8:28 am
As for "in what ways?" Too many to count. Physically, wisdom teeth are becoming unnecessary. I laugh when I picture the evolutionary chart of people walking up-right, and I fear that we're headed toward a seated homo sapien in a computer chair.
- February 11, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Well, my husband would say that we've become soft. We're incapable of surviving without our modern conveniences. I'm not sure I completely agree, but I do see his point.
I see more of a devolution – we're more educated and yet seem less intelligent overall. But then, I see the underside of society more than most…
- February 13, 2011 at 8:33 pm
OK.. scientist in me coming out here, but in what ways to you mean? Do you mean socially? emotionally? Or in the scientific term of evolution as in, ACTUALLY physically evolve, which is really difficult for us to tell since it takes 1000′s of years if not more, and we mess with human survival so much, that I don't know how that works with us now.

I've played fantasy for years now but never found a fellow falcon fan in any of my leagues. It is standard and on NFL.com. Feel free to join randomly. http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/1799484 the link is posted above and the password is password. the Draft will be decided when the league is full with a time that is decided amongst competitors. Hope to see you all there. P.s. Rise up FalconsNation!

Wendy Knowler fights for your rights...
Shopping malls start putting up tinsel and playing Christmas carols as early as September to put us into the silly season spending mood ridiculously early.
I even heard a rendition of Auld Lang Syne in my local Shoprite yesterday.
Hell, why don't they just put out the Valentine's cards?
The premature festive cues should serve as a warning to shoppers that it's not just the retailers who are after their money – criminals are on the prowl for healthy Christmas takings too.
Ask Wisaal of Cape Town, who wants her full name withheld.
Her cellphone and wallet were stolen from her handbag while she was trying on shoes at a shop in Canal Walk last week.
Wisaal asked me not to reveal the shop's name, "as I don't want to generate negative publicity for the company".
That makes a change – usually I get e-mails from in-store victims wanting to know why the store is not paying for their loss.
"I had just read your article about consumers being robbed inside a store," Wisaal wrote, "and I remember thinking: 'This is not something I want to happen to me'."
Well, no armed gunmen stormed into the store – her thieves were more subtle.
"I had left my handbag next to my daughter, who was seated on the couch in the shoe department.
"As I turned around from looking in the mirror, I noticed a young couple also trying on shoes, but the woman had sat down in the exact spot I had been sitting a minute before.
"I was irritated, but did not get a sense of imminent danger.
"As I tried on another pair of shoes, I noticed another couple sitting almost on top of my daughter, and still I didn't think anything strange was going on.
"I then went to another shoe rack two rows down, and when I returned to the couch I noticed the flap of my handbag was open.
"That was when I discovered my cellphone and wallet were missing."
The store's security footage captured the thieves in action, and the centre's security department was notified, Wisaal said.
"The store's staff were great – they helped me block all my bank and store cards."
Wisaal is unsure whether she was followed from a nearby ATM where she had drawn money just before entering the store, or whether the thieves were already in the shop, looking for an opportunity to steal.
She has resigned herself to the loss of her possessions, but is concerned about falling victim to identity fraud.
And so she should be – it is rife.
Having got hold of their victim's ID number and other personal details through a variety of means, fraudsters open accounts in the victim's name and run up huge debts.
As a result, the victim lands up with a tarnished credit record.
"My ID was not stolen, but my driver's licence was, and it contains my ID number," Wisaal said.
I suggested that she take the precaution of registering her details with the SA Fraud Prevention Service.
The organisation provides a shared database to member organisations in the financial services industry.
It offers people a means of protecting themselves against impersonation and identity theft, and claims to have successfully prevented more than R5 billion in attempted fraud since its inception in 2001.
Between 2009 and 2011, 5 940 South Africans were recorded as victims of impersonation on the service's database.
People aged between 30 and 40 and living in Gauteng are most at risk of ID fraud, according to the service.
So, if you've recently applied for a job and submitted your payslip, a copy of your ID and other details with your application, or lost your ID or driving licence or had it stolen, you're strongly advised to do two things.
First, check your profile at the credit bureau – you are entitled to one free check a year – and then, register your details with the SA Fraud Prevention Service's protective registration.
In doing so, an alert is triggered when someone presents your ID number and other personal details with a credit application.
To register with the service, call 0860 101 248 or e-mail [email protected]
Of course, it means you're going to have to go to extra lengths to prove you're really who you say you are when you try to apply for credit – by carrying extra identification – but it's a small price to pay.
* If you discover that your ID has already been fraudulently used, and you're listed on the credit bureau as a result, file a report at your nearest police station.
Ask for a copy of your signed affidavit and keep a record of the case number.
Take all your ID documents, plus other relevant documents and information that you obtained from the SAPS and credit bureau, to the company where the fraudster opened an account in your name, to prove your real identity and innocence.
Ask the company to clear your name and bad payment profile at the credit bureau.
Then apply for the SA Fraud Prevention Service's protective registration.

Mehri claimed the Premier League had shown 'deliberate ignorance' over the issue and lacked leadership.
However, the Premier League responded to the allegations and said it takes issues of equality very seriously.
A spokesperson for the Premier League said: "We have a proven track record in addressing this area, as well as providing best practice employment guidelines to ensure our clubs not only meet legislative requirements, but surpass them, too.
"The clubs employ on merit only. Their players, coaches and managers are from diverse geographical, cultural and racial backgrounds.
"Where the English game as a whole needs to work harder is ensuring that there are more qualified coaches, from all backgrounds, feeding into the system and progressing to the highest level.
"One thing is for sure, that clubs in the Premier League and Football League will always seek to employ the best possible talent."
There is currently only one black manager in the Premier League,
The Rooney Rule, which was brought into operation in the
Mehri, who visited the UK to advise leading figures in English football about the initiative, said the Premier League is a major stumbling block to bringing something similar into action in this country.
"They showed what I would call deliberate ignorance. They didn't really try to inquire what it was about. Their view was, "This can't work in the UK."
The Football League is currently investigating new measures to increase the number of ethnic minority managers within its 72 member clubs, which has the backing of the

The Athletic department will not retire Vince Young's number because he did not win the Heisman Trophy.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the only numbers that the Athletic department has retired (or will retire in the near future) are Earl Campbell's #20, Ricky Williams' #34, TJ Ford's #11, Kevin Durant's #35 and Roger Clemens' #21, when Vince Young was without question the greatest and most popular athlete to come through the university save Major Applewhite, plus, unlike the other players on this list, he has actually delivered a championship. No disrespect to the other players on this list, they were great athletes and truly deserved their player of the year awards, but just because Vince didn't win the Heisman does not mean #10 should be on the field instead of on a banner.
