My mom (Cecelia Feld) is having an opening in Denver on Friday 11/1 at Artwork Network Gallery from 5pm – 9pm. I'm heading down to Denver at the end of the day on Friday and will be there from 5pm – 7pm before I head out for dinner (a good son has to eat, right?)
I love my mom's art and if you've ever been in my office you've seen some of it around. If you aren't familiar with it, a piece from the show is below or go check out her website at Studio 7310.
Artwork Network Gallery is located at 878 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, CO 80204 (303-388-7420). I hope to see you Friday night!
My mom (Cecelia Feld) just put up a new website (Studio 7310) showcasing her art. In addition to being a really beautiful new site, she's also started blogging at Art Everyday and tweeting at @ceceliafeld. I'm awesomely proud of my mom for embracing the web and social media – gigantic smiles from the son.
Rather than talk about it, I'll let a few pictures tell the story. If you are into art, know my mom, or are just curious, venture over to Studio 7310 and take a look. And, if you fall in love with something, don't be bashful – even though she's modest about it, she loves it when people buy or exhibit her art (ok – that's the son doing his shameless promotion thing.)
Amy and I have a bunch of my mom's art. If you've been in my office or to my house, you've seen some of it. She works in a bunch of different mediums – the one above is a collage, the one below is a solar plate print.
Following are some of my favorite paintings that my mom has ever done. They are huge (think 20′ x 20′) and bring any wall to life.
I'll end with a great Texas Hill Country photograph. Don't forget to subscribe to Cecelia's (she'll probably be ok with you calling her "Brad's mom" – at the minimum that will bring a smile to her face) blog and twitter feed now that I've managed to convert her to a blogger in addition to being an artist.
A few months ago Suzy Kendrick of CanvasPop reached out to me after I wrote a blog post titled What's Your Product Cadence. She had some comments relevant to her business and offered to put together a Twitter word cloud print for @FoundryGroup.
It came out great and is now hanging in our office. The CanvasPop team was super to deal with – they offered us the first print for free. It was nice but after staring at it we wanted to tweak it a little. I offered to pay for this one (they didn't ask – but it was the right thing for us to do) and they did an excellent job of making the changes we wanted.
Even though Amy and I are huge art collectors, this is the first time I've ever done a piece of personalized corporate art. CanvasPop totally nailed it for us and gave us something that we could finally use as our entry way sign.
If you are interested in something like this, drop an email to Chris – the Corporate Art Guru at CanvasPop. Suzy – thanks for reaching out!
Amy and I collect contemporary art. We often make friends with the artists who we collect. Occasionally people who are our friends become artists. Jessica Schallock fits into this category
We've been friends with Jessica for a decade. Her family lives next door to us in Homer, Alaska and we've known Jessica since she was 12. We've watched, with much joy, as she's grown into an amazingly talented young women.
One of those talents is art. Every year she gives us a drawing as a gift. It's been amazingly fun to watch her get better at drawing, as she turns it from a childhood hobby to a profession. She's currently experimenting with of realistic portions of a face that blend into "unfinished" sketch-like outlines.
The piece in this post is called James and is 16 1/2″ x 20″, graphite on Bristol board. Jessica is looking for a gallery to work with along with people that are interested in her work. If you are interested, please email me and I'll put y'all in touch.
If you walk in my office, you'll notice a lot of art on the walls. Amy and I are huge art collectors and are always on a quest for new and beautiful things. Over the years we've tried to collect photographs and sculpture in addition to contemporary art – I view us as complete novices as collectors in these two domains.
However, Amy has always been a great photographer. She carries a Nikon D-100 around and captures amazing pictures. I don't have the eye she has so when I snap things on my cell phone they always feel ordinary to me. But I love to scroll through the endless stream of photos Amy has taken.
Recently, I got an email from Abhi Lokesh, the CEO of Fracture. He reached out in response to a post I had written (What's Your Product Cadence). We went back and forth a few times on email, I answered a few questions, and he offered me a free Fracture. The awesome Alaska Brown Bear above is the photo I used (from an Alaska trip in 2004) and it's now hanging on the wall in my office next to my couch.
Fracture's goal is to inspire a renaissance in photo products and printing, replacing cheap frames and overpriced services with a practical alternative that helps you tell your life's story visually . When I asked Abhi how he came up with the idea, he said:
"We actually came up with the idea while doing field work in Africa during the summer of 2008 for a non-profit that we created in college. It was a life-changing experience in innumerable ways. I was on my way to med school, and my partner was heading to PhD engineering school. But hey, we'll never have less to lose and more to gain than right now, and we decided to go for it."
Fracture is tackling the retro challenge of manufacturing and shipping a real product along with creating a digital experience and platform that makes it dead-simple for anyone to Fracture an image. My experience with the service was great, and when the Fracture arrived the packaging was well thought out, minimal, and included everything I needed to hang the Fracture on the wall.
I encourage any of you who have a favorite digital photo to give Fracture a shot.

Whether you loved it or hated it, everyone had a reaction to Chris Jericho's return this Monday. I wrote an aggressive (perhaps too aggressive, sorry Geno) article calling the return an embarrassment. I thought it was boring, anti-climatctic, and a complete waste of my time. I also understood what Jericho was doing, but thought it was recycled post-modern meta-fiction.
Geno wrote a post calling the return brilliant and unique. I've read so many reactions and I have to say, I think the audience is pretty even, but more fans seem to have liked the non-promo promo. But here's the thing: the more I analyze the return, the more complex it all seems. I've calmed down a bit and realized Jericho's return is a both a complete success and a complete failure, but not for reasons already explained.
Follow me below.
First off, before I put a unique perspective out there, let's address why Jericho did what he did. Chris Jericho knew that he would be cheered when he came out, no matter what he did. Jericho is talented and creative, so instead of just making fun of the local sports team, he decided to generate heat in a way never done before. Jericho comes out, hams up his own return, parodies the audience's unwavering enthusiasm, teases the audience, and never says a word. By the time Jericho left, some of the people cheering him were booing.
But what about the Internet wrestling community and posters on this site? Well, it seems the same people who loved the return... Now really like Jericho! But wait a minute... Wasn't the non-promo promo meant to generate heat? I've never seen so many people make Jericho .gifs to show how awesome he is. It seems like the same fans Jericho was catering to with his shtick now love him even more. These people are going to cheer for him. There will be members of the IWC chanting "Y-2-J!" next week at Raw.
These are not the actions of fans who hate Jericho. In a way, Jericho's 'unique' promo backfired: he's getting more love than ever. In this sense, the return is a complete failure. Jericho tried to out mark the marks in order to get them to hate him. He succeeded in making fun of certain members of the audience, but failed in expecting their reaction.
But what about the fans who disliked the segment? Is their reaction equally opposite to those who loved it? It appears not. Are these fans emotionally invested in the show now, or are they completely turned off? I assume most of the PG audience didn't even get it and Jericho's going to have to be a little more black and white next week in order to stop the boos. Most of the reactions voiced their dislike for the method of the return and not the wrestler. No one's talking about how much they hate Jericho--they're talking about how bad the nature of his return was.
Despite how creative the return was, and its intended goal, it seems to have backfired. More people love Jericho than ever, no one really hates him, and the WWE has to figure out a way to get the people to not cheer his name if he's actually going to be a heel. I have to say, I overreacted on how bad the segment was. The spot was a success if we are assuming the only goal was to get more people watching.
Perhaps we are assuming too much. Maybe the goal of the promo wasn't about getting heat. Because if it was, its a failure as far as the fans on this site goes. Maybe it was about getting people talking. More importantly, getting people watching. This is going to be interesting.

For sure Charlie Weis and Steve Kragthorpe aren't the only two coaches in charge of teams whose fan bases are not happy with on field results and thus frothing at the mouth in anticipation of change.
But they are the two coaches who are drawing the most pub — negative, of course — in this part of the pigskin world.
I've certainly not held back any barbs regarding the demise of their two regimes. I'm far from alone.
But I'd like to take a quick look at how the two have handled the rising disgruntlement of their respective schools' supporters.
Given his physique, Charlie Weis is easily caracatured. I've given to calling him Humpty Dumpty. And his arrogance upon accepting the position engendered a quick trigger finger for those ready to fire away at the first sign of failure.
That his former boss, Kevin White, is now at Duke, makes Weis' exit scenario more palpable. His replacement, Jack Swarbrick, can turn into an Irish hero of the highest order: 1) By terminating Weis' tenure, 2) Finding an anonymous alum or alums who will pay the obscene buyout, and 3) Placing the next Knute Rockne in the coach's chair. Swarbrick has already endeared himself to ND fans somewhat by at least acknowledging the situation.
I must admit that Weis has handled the turmoil around him, this season at least, like a mensch. He admits to his failures, says he'd like to stay, but couldn't argue if a change is made. ($18 mill can soften even the hardest blow.)
Good for him. It almost makes me want to cut the guy some slack.
The same good things sadly can't be said for Steve Kragthorpe. Nor his boss.
Obviously SK wants to keep his job. I've mentioned repeatedly that he is a most decent fellow. But the facts and stats are what they are. He hasn't performed. His teams haven't performed. The signs of progress Cardinal fans have been longing for are yet to appear. Yet Kragthorpe proceeds blithely along without any acceptance of responsibility. It is disconcerting at the very least, disingenuous at worst.
That his boss Tom Jurich has failed to address the situation at all publicly has added to the disenchantment. It is startling behavior by a very public athletic director who once did commercials for several local businesses, such was his positive public persona. Now he would appear to be in hiding from the fans who pay the freight, people who merely wanted some sense that TJ felt their pain.
So, wouldthunkit?
Charlie Weis, who journeyed to the Golden Dome as if in a horse drawn carriage of royalty, comes across as genuinely chastened, and displaying some humility.
Steve Kragthorpe, if you'll recall, hung a left into the Papa John's mens' room with cameras whirring, before his introductory press conference. Sadly that's where his game stayed. More than likely, his career at U of L is about to get flushed. Hopefully it won't come as big a surprise as it seems it might be from his recent statements.

I seem to have found a bug in Contacts. If I set a birthday for a contact, it shows up as 1 day before when I view the contact. For example, If I set 01/23/1986 for a contact, It displays January 22 1986 for the birthday when I view that contact. It does indeed go to the correct day when clicked on -- in the calendar but shows a day before in text. Can anyone confirm this on your N9 device.
Solved! Go to Solution.
31-10-2011 23:40
01-11-2011 5:37
I think this has something to do with transfering the contacts from my E72 or with the calendar. Working on identifying what exactly it might be. Going to try what you suggested now.

Is there an app that scans your contacts and adds them to my calendar as recurring events? I had Best Birthday app on my E72 that worked like a charm. Hoping something like that will come to MeeGo
02-11-2011 13:07
04-11-2011 21:37
Unfortunately I have exactly the same problem with my N9.
And I tried manually, delete and reenter birthdays. When I click save it goes back to 1 day before actual birthday. Any other suggestions pls?
05-11-2011 0:21
02-12-2011 7:45
I'm experiencing the same problem as well. The event appears a day after. I was syncing calendar using N900 through bluetooth. I tried so many times and yet this same result happens
Please someone file a bug for this.
04-12-2011 17:29
05-12-2011 19:59
I have this problem, too. I've transferred all my contacts from an N900 to the N9 via Bluetooth. Interestingly, I remember having the same problem with older Nokia phones in the past; I think I had it with an N85 as well.
Here's what I noticed: the phone may show the correct date or be off by one day, depending on the time of the day you look at it. So, what you see in the morning may be different than what you see in the evening for different contacts! I think this has something to do with time zones, but, regardless, it's obviously a bug.
Now, I just used Nokia PC Suite to open up each of my contacts with a birthday, delete the birthday field, save, open again, add the birthday field back, and save. This has not helped at all. I will have to try and do this directly on the phone next. What a pain!

For USPS worker, Lonnie Brewster, it's just another day.
"It has been for 30 years," he said.
It's what he's used to.
"[I] get to meet a lot of people and I'm a people person," he said.
And on Christmas Eve...it's no different.
"Especially when I know it's something for children that's living there and they're surprised, [saying] 'Momma, is that for me'," he said.
All over Birmingham, Tuesday, USPS, UPS and FedEx were all out delivering those last minute packages.
"Yesterday was a wild day," Birmingham Postmaster, Mike Allison said.
Allison says Christmas Eve, alone, about one million Christmas cards and packages will be delivered.
"They'll be in the mailboxes today for the customers," Allison said.
Allison says, surprisingly, the day before Christmas is nowhere near as stressful as the days leading up to Christmas, as far as deliveries are concerned. That's because the bulk of the holiday mail has already been processed.
"We'll redeliver it today to attempt," he said. "Hopefully, on Christmas Eve, more people are at home and we can get them packages in their hand. It gives you the joy to see the people and realize that you have a part in making families happy."
For Brewster...that's his job. Delivering the packages, the smiles and the Christmas cheer to every family on his route.
The USPS will also be delivering Express packages, Christmas Day.

The 2 1/2 year old is out of the hospital now, after an overnight stay.
The missing girl was found on a trail nearly two miles from her home in Barton Township in northeast Newaygo County.
More than 250 volunteers and 35 organizations scoured the dense woods near her home looking for her.
She was found by a DNR officer standing alone, shoeless and basically unharmed yesterday afternoon.
It was a miraculous ending that police were not expecting after being gone for so long.
But questions still remain on how it was all possible.
9&10 News' Eric Lloyd took a look back at the discovery and has more details.

Advocates and parents of children with special needs want the Indiana Legislature to require schools to have clear guidelines on when to use physical restraints and isolation rooms to discipline students.
The push for the legislation follows a report released by the U.S. Department of Education earlier this year that found tens of thousands of students across the U.S. — most of whom are disabled — have been strapped down, physically restrained, or locked into isolation rooms by teachers or school staff to keep order in their classrooms. In some cases, the techniques have led to injury and death.
Members of a state legislative study committee heard testimony Wednesday about documented incidents involving students with autism or other disabilities who've been duct-taped to chairs, locked in dark rooms, stuffed into filing cabinets, or subject to other punitive measures using physical, mechanical and even "chemical" restraints.
But the frequency of these incidents in Indiana schools is unknown since there are no reporting requirements nor statewide standards for what seclusion and restraint techniques are appropriate or when they can be used.
"Indiana remains one of 19 states without any rules or regulations governing this type of activity," said state Sen. Randy Head, R-Logansport, who thinks schools need better guidance and more training on how to discipline students with behavioral problems.
Any proposed legislation on the use of restraints and isolation rooms is likely to cover all students — not just those with physical, emotional or mental disabilities.
"We need to be concerned about the safety of all students," said state Rep. Bob Heaton, R-Terre Haute, chairman of the legislative Committee on Autism, which has taken up the issue.
Currently, the Indiana Department of Education encourages local school corporations to develop their own policies on the use of restraints and isolation techniques. But there is no requirement to do so, leaving the state with a patchwork of policies and practices.
Kim Dodson, an advocate for the disabled and associate executive director for The Arc of Indiana, said the patchwork approach is no longer working.
"We have statutes (covering the use of restraints and isolation) that protect people living in long-term care facilities and people in our state prisons and even kids in juvenile justice centers," Dodson said. "But nothing in statute for our students in schools."
Joan McCormick of the Indiana Council of Administrators of Special Education spoke out against a state law that would set statewide standards.
McCormick acknowledged there had been incidents of abuse involving restraints and isolation rooms and she called for better training of teachers. But she said local school corporations should be allowed to determine their own policies with oversight from their local school boards.
Dodson and others are convinced the state needs to step in. They're concerned that the increasing demands placed on schools and teachers — including educating more students with special needs — has led to a greater use of restraint and isolation techniques as a first resort for discipline rather than a last resort.
Dodson favors legislation that would require every school corporation to have a policy on the use of isolation and restraint techniques and would require schools to notify parents when those techniques are used. She also wants the legislation to require more training for teachers and administrators.
The issue is of particular importance to parents of students with special needs. The U.S. Department of Education study released earlier this year found that about 70 percent of the nearly 40,000 students who were restrained or isolated in seclusion rooms during the 2009-10 school year had learning, behavioral, physical or developmental needs. The study also found that African-American and Hispanic students were also disproportionately isolated or restrained.

A DeKalb County judge has allowed investigators looking into a November slaying outside a Dunwoody preschool to examine cell phone and e-mail communication between the suspect and the wife of the man who was killed.
Investigators say in an affidavit that the records might reveal a motive for the killing.
The judge signed the warrant Feb. 24. It covers phone calls and e-mails recorded between Sept. 1 and Jan. 15.
The DeKalb County District Attorney's Office says an arraignment for the suspect, Hemy Neuman, is set for April 4.
Russell Sneiderman was shot to death Nov. 18, just after he dropped off his 2-year-old son at the preschool. Neuman was the supervisor of Sneiderman's wife, Andrea, in GE Energy's quality and engineering department.

I love my Evo too. I don't know if it's the phone itself or Android, but I have never had such a great experience with a phone like with my Evo. If I were stuck with it for the next 3 years, I doubt I'd care.
TheTaste says:
I hear that this guy later traded his Evo for an Epic. He would have made a video about it but he spontaneously exploded from its shear awesomeness!
babybear293 says:
Epic & Evo are not even in the same league....
boliviano3 says:
I hear he spontaneously exploded b/c he was po'd that his Epic was still on 2.1
magistus says:
He forgot the lyric, "I suck with my Evo" Sorry could not watch the whole thing.
ToddPsyD says:
I need to download this song for the ringtone on my EVO! LOL
I.R.R.V. says:
This was really funny, he should have had his video girl topless.......lol
da.bell says:
I'm glad he likes his Evo. That is one less person that has an issue with the $10 additional fee. :-) LOL
Okay, beating a dead horse. ;-)
I don't mind paying the fee. It to me, is like a tax to help them build out their 4G network. Even with the fee, it's still the best deal around. I just wish Sprint would be honest about what the fee is for, instead of making up hardware related reasons.
I've had 4g every day I've owned my Evo.
Fee smee!.... 4g ROXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!
I was getting 6megs down yesterday! it floored me... and I live on the outskirts of Philly! I can only imagine what they are getting downtown!
Feel sorry for you schmuucks in the hinterland.
Yeah, well, most of us don't live in a 4G area and still have to pay the fee month after month. Can be irritating.

Werd hommiez...
biggbrother2 says:
Not available on mobile? Really? Had to play in browser (choppy).
Issue with the ten dollar fee?
Some of don't live in the woods, mang!
4g kix ass! Philly has had it for the longest. Move out of them thar woods- ftw?

When it says not available- tap screen a few times- sometimes it just launches.
shu-tech says:
HAHAHAHAHAHA gotta give him props for this its better than some songs thats on the radio right now i gotta show this to my bro's they both have evo's
He123321 says:
This was painful to watch on my Evo...
All those that didn't like it have them crappy old school droids.. if they had the Lord of the Droids in their pockets,too... they'd have an indulgent smile. You can spot the Evo-less.. their comments makem bitter mang!
tgrant1975 says:
This message for the Guy that has a problem with rap.... if was a rock and roll video would that b ok? It was a fun video that's it. Stop taking shit so serious. I thought it was funny.
cwright9 says:
I didn't know they had prepaid Evo's
vader4633 says:
This video is not Epic
dharrisonrand says:
What's her name? :)
nsxla#CB says:
Typical sprint user? i am embarrassed
@NSXLA786: Your comment is embarrassing. Why can't you people lighten up? Such asses.
Josh_k91 says:
Lmao this quite funny... a lil embarraing but hey, i love my evo and we go everywhere together so.... i feel what he is saying
dougeetx says:
They should play this repeatedly in every Sprint store. LOL
dudleyfire says:
This video needs to be on Tosh.0's "Is it Racist" segment.
smooney3 says:
Lol, that was awful. But awesome at the same time. Ok, maybe a little closer to awful. Entertaining, though.
estebancam says:
I thought it was funny. I would totally do something like that, but not for evo.
scribe4food says:
At first I thought this guy set the race back to 1910... However, I've been humming this damn song to myself all day! I love my EVO.
scribe4food says:
And just so I'm clear, I like this guy and song very much. It's fun, and catchy. If a white guy, with tight ass pants, long hair, and a electric gutiar did the same thing, would the people here go into the "race" thing? I doubt it, they would just accept it. So lets give this guy the same courtesy.
dacp283 says:
I don't care what race he was our what sorry phone he uses that was painful for my ears! I'm an equal opportunity hater :) lol.
You can always spot the Evo-LESS....
They only spout bitterness....
What has race to do with it....
I swear the angry poor are always obsessed with race.. (prepaid evo? naw mang... family plan - We have three Evo 4g in my All American black family... imagine that....
The angry poor and Evo-less... so bitter.
KarmelVixen says:
Lmbao...i didnt know the evo was all like that haha
@noirelion: The longer you stick around, the more people you will see in here that have nothing else going on in their lives. That's why they come to blogs, to cause drama and bully people...with the comfort of anonymity.
OK, you guys need to post this video:
Much better!
Wow! That is pretty impressive stuff. Not terribly melodic, but a lot more interesting than the one this thread is about.
tallbruva says:
The best thing about that video was the girl. Impressive? Not feeling it.
I'm not a fan of modern rap. But it was way more entertaining than this video. But whether you think it's good or bad, it's going to get a lot of hits. And Sprint will be dancing all the way to the bank.
Oh, we've got two Epic 4G's. Sorry. That Hummingbird with Eclair just crushed the Froyo laden Evo in Quadrant (video test) & Neocore :-)
When Samsung abandons you after you wait several more months for 2.3, Evo will be 3.0 :)
Ja, werden sie wahrscheinlich aufgeben uns, aber Google ist verantwortlich für die Nexus-S und erraten, was die Nexus S ist. Yep, ein Galaxy S mit einem leicht gekrümmten Display und NFC, die sie sein sollte sehr einfach für Entwickler in den Hafen hat über 2,3, zumindest die GSM-Varianten der Galaxy S. bedeutet
So I had to convert to German to get around the spam filter. That sucker is really pissing me off lately. If I write more than a single sentence there's a good chance it will get flagged.
tallbruva says:
Then I'll put Cyanogen on it and it will be running better than the latest and greatest and still be faster than an Evo :-)
hydro says:
HAHAH! "its open sizource"
rlbrooks says:
What, this is better? I really don't get rap. It seems to be all about peacock feathers. Don't have to be better, just repeat more, have flashy lights, cheesy glasses, more dancers, and be longer. I just don't get it.
Jjpp23 says:
Hey MTV! Come on in ya broke muthafuckas!
Flip says:
I love my evo, n woooow a bunch of haters in this site
Saturn2K says:
This screenshot they chose looks like a black Hunter S. Thompson on acid, recoiling in terror.
rlbrooks says:
Wow! People are harsh. I really don't care for rap and hip hop, but this guy has really good cadence and dynamics. That helps to make it so catchy. Isn't that the purpose of rap? I guess I don't get it. How is a guy singing about a phone any more pathetic, and stereotypical, then singing about a G6? I'll stick to emo, alt, and punk, where you can sing about whatever without someone sticking you in a stereotype, social, our economic group.

El Paso, TX (Sports Network) - All five Miners scored in double figures as Texas-El Paso cruised to an 83-61 victory over the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions as part of the Sun Bowl Invitational at Don Haskins Center.
Konner Tucker paced all scorers with 18 points for UTEP (5-5), while Julian Washburn recorded a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. John Bohannon tallied 17 points and eight boards, Jacques Streeter had 10 points and eight assists, and Cedrick Lang scored 10 points.
For UAPB (1-10), Mitchell Anderson and Jalen Floyd netted 15 points apiece, while Davon Haynes logged eight points and 10 rebounds.
Behind 47.8 percent shooting in the first half, UTEP was able to take a 35-28 lead into intermission. UAPB shot just 36.4 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes.
The Miners improved to a red-hot 77.3 percent from the floor after the break as it pulled away in the final 10 minutes of the game.
UTEP was an efficient 9-of-14 from 3-point range, while the Lions had no such luck from beyond the arc, making just 6-of-29.
The Miners will play Nebraska on Sunday in the final round of the tournament, while UAPB will take on Central Michigan.

This problem is long, very funy, hossy, involves a heel hook or two, and is located on the Spoonman boulder. Start at right side of the lowest part of the boulder on the little, flat shelf where a coffe mug would rest perfectly. Climb left out and under the small roof to a huge flat ledge and then begin the crux sequence. top out on the obvious block.
The Spoonman boulder is about 250 feet down the trail on the right. After you go up the small hill, start looking and you will see it. Down by the river! Potential for quite a few more routes here as well.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, elementary students in Albemarle County are giving thanks by giving back.
This week, Scottsville Elementary School is partnering with Goodwill Industries of the Valleys for a "Goodwill Donation Drive."
From Monday through Friday, the school will collect gently used clothing, books and toys. Educators say young students can learn a lot by helping others in need.
Scottsville Elementary School counselor Katie Carlson said, "I think it instills some value into the kids, it helps them see that it's good to give to others, it's good to think about the planet."
On this first day of collections, bins are already filling up with donated items. The drive continues through the week, before Goodwill collects donated items Friday afternoon.

Arriving at approximately 10 a.m., Bentley was greeted by Parrish Elementary Principal Chris Walton. Walton and other school employees navigated Bentley through the school and popped in on different classes that were in session.
"I want you to do one thing for me this summer: Read," Bentley told the young students. "Y'all keep reading this summer so you'll be ready next fall."
As part of the 2014 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge, Bentley teams with Scholastic each year to donate 500 books to five deserving schools. Parrish Elementary was one of the five schools selected that received 100 books and a special visit from the governor's wife.
"We get a map, and I like different regions of the state, so I can go and see what's there and see what schools are doing and their programs, and also give them good books to read. I just want to teach children the love of reading, and so that's why I choose different schools to go to," she said with a smile. "I think with all the media, we're losing the love for the written word. As a child, I always had a book with me. You can't always have technology with you."
Walton was pleased with Bentley's visit and hopes it will bring more recognition to the elementary school.
"Literacy is important, and reading and writing is the fabric of everything we try to do in every subject. We're the best kept secret in Walker County, as far as school-wise. This is a great school with great students, great faculty and parent support," Walton said. " ... I thought the visit went great. I thought our kids were very respectful. She came in, she talked to the kids and the teachers. It was very forthcoming.
"She related well to what they were doing, and she knew when she walked in the classrooms the questions to ask to prompt them, so I thought it was a great session," he continued. "The kids were very excited. I think it's great for our school and for our community to have people recognize us for the things we do."
Before reading to second-grade students in the school's library, Bentley said, "My goal is to teach them to love to read, to want to read, to read things they enjoy so when they read things that they have to read in school, they will still be good readers. Books are wonderful, and I want to teach them to learn to love books."
After lunch at Black Rock Bistro, Bentley toured Daybreak's shelter.
Daybreak, opened in 1986, provides emergency housing for women who are fleeing domestic violence situations. Bentley has committed herself to preventing domestic violence and helping victims escape, protect themselves and rebuild their lives.
Members of the staff, board of directors and women currently in the shelter spoke with Bentley during her tour.
Bentley is trying to tour all the domestic violence shelters in the state and has been able to visit a number of them already. She called Daybreak "one of the best shelters I have seen."
She also spent time talking with the staff about their biggest needs or concerns, including the need for a safe room or tornado-safe area for those in the shelter during severe weather.
They also talked to Bentley about challenges they face with transportation as the women try to find jobs to help them get on their feet. The women often don't have a vehicle of their own, and there are times when the shelter only has one staff member on duty. This means the women either have to walk, which can be especially dangerous if their abuser is looking for them, or they have to rely on someone else giving them a ride. In order to qualify for housing programs to continue their path to freedom, the women must maintain employment.
Bentley thanked those who are involved with the shelter for the work they have done, and continue to do, for domestic violence victims in the state.
Anyone who is a victim of abuse or needs help can call the Daybreak Crisis Line at 205-384-1157 or the Alabama domestic abuse hotline which will send callers to Daybreak or the nearest resource to them at 1-800-650-6522.

Many people who immigrated to Switzerland wish to return to their native country after some years and in particular once they have retired.
The return to one's native country is however not always a free choice. Asylum applicants whose application is rejected have to leave Switzerland after the asylum procedure is completed. In this case they may ask for return assistance. Also certain groups of persons in the foreign nationals field have access to return assistance. The FOM supports the Cantons in issuing travel documents and in organising the return to the native country.

A Sensible Java Build Tool
I've been writing Java in one sense or another for a few years now. I learnt stuff at university, then used it in a few jobs. I've written Beans and Applets, and various bits of stuff in between.
It's fairly safe to say, that I like Java.
One thing however, that's been a pretty consistent bugbear in all the time I've been writing Java, has been the classpath, and dependency resolution. Luckily, all that can now change.
I used to think that Ant was a pretty neat build tool. All the IDEs supported it, it kinda worked most of the time, but sometimes, building was a bit of a ballache - Some stuff had to be in your lib/ folder, sometimes in Ant's lib/ too.
Lately though, and this week in particular, I've been playing with Maven.
Maven is a pretty fucking cool build tool for Java applications. I suspect it probably works with other languages, but it's "designed" for Java.
I don't think I really have the expertise or knowledge to explain how Maven works, partly because I haven't studied the inner workings that deeply, but also, because it's far better explained here (http://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html).
Instead, I'm going to dive right in, and explain what I've been working on this week.
The company I work for currently, is making a pretty radical shift away from using PHP for everything. Instead, we've been investigating Java for creating a middleware layer that everything can talk to.
I'm pretty chuffed with this, but I do wish that it had come a lot earlier on. If it had, I might not have been so decisive to leave when offered a better job.
Basically, when we came up with this project, I insisted that we do it properly, for a change.
I suggested that a good workflow would be something like: Netbeans IDE -> Maven Project -> Git SCM -> Jenkins CI -> Maven Repository (We chose Artifactory, but I did test Sonatype Nexus too, but didn't like it).
This is a good pattern for the Joel Test's "Can you make a build in one step?"
I basically wanted to create a demo project that can be used as the basis for all future FR projects, I do the R&D to make the initial POM work, then everyone else can clone this, or inherit from it..
This decision was twofold, I also wanted to figure out JPA/Hibernate and have some clue how that works for reverse engineering the classes from an existing database, the answer to that is: Pretty well, actually. - But that's another story.
My IDE of choice is Netbeans. I've been using it since I was at
university, except for a small android-related foray into Eclipse, and
an experimental nosing around IntelliJ IDEA.
Stuff I did:
- Created a new Netbeans Maven project from the quickstart archetype.
- Added the Dependencies on Hibernate (all the sub-dependencies get resolved, and added)
- Added the <scm></scm> and <ciManagement></ciManagement> lines to the POM
- Added maven-shade-plugin to allow us to build a fat JAR, which makes the jar bigger - it includes all the dependency JARs, but does make deployment a damnsight easier.
- Configured <distributionManagement></distributionManagement> to contain the url of the repository we're using.
That's pretty much it. Here's the finished POM, with various bits of secret removed.
When I edit something in Netbeans, and commit a change, there's a post-commit hook (post-receive) that calls the Jenkins API, and builds the project. Jenkins then deploys the artifacts (a fat JAR and a POM) to the Artifactory.
(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
Mykel Alvis replied on Mon, 2012/01/23 - 1:09am
- Make a company parent super POM (or make a hierarchy of POMs) that contain(s) the boilerplate elements of the POM and a dependencyManagement and pluginManagement section that configures dependencies and plugins.
This saves a ton of time later and keep versions consistent across your working project set
- Use properties to set widely used values (eg. ${spring.version} to set the version of Spring you're using ). Obviously you'd want to set those properties in your super POM.
This way when a developer wants to use a new version of something, he can just over-ride the property (that his POM inherited from the parent you built) and if it becomes necessary, feed that altered version back up the chain to the company parent..
- Overcome the urge to make monolithic projects. If your POM hierarchy is good, then series of multi-module builds are simple and easy to maintain and promote breaking applications up into more testable pieces.
- Document using the site plugin.
This can be a pain, but I suggest using Xdoc. It's slightly more foolproof than APT but YMMV.
- Use Sonar. It's awesome.
- Go to the effort to create separate integration test projects.
Besides making integration testing possible, the separate POM prevents a form to test-dependency pollution from occurring in your actual codebase
- Use the release plugin to make releases
Pick nexus over artifactory.
The search interface is much better..
Meh. Pick whatever repo manager you want. Just pick one and use it.
General things to remember that aren't suggestions:
- Creating repeatable builds for non-trivial applications in any language is itself non-trivial
- Dependency management is painful on any platform. Anyone who says otherwise needs to show up with charts and graphs to back up their lie. Maven's answer definitely isn't perfect but it's at least as good as any other and better than most.
- Like most tools, Maven can be used wisely or foolishly.
- Remember that my suggestions above are not comprehensive.

It pains me to see people discovering (and loving) maven in the year 2012!!
I have seen days and days of development time be wasted with Maven for tasks that could be done in 30 minutes with ant. I urge you to give Gradle a try.
Hibernate have switched from maven to gradle (https://community.jboss.org/wiki/GradleWhy) and so have tapestry (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-116).
"Gradle combines the power and flexibility of Ant with the dependency management and conventions of Maven into a more effective way to build. Powered by a Groovy DSL and packed with innovation, Gradle provides a declarative way to describe all kinds of builds through sensible defaults. Gradle is quickly becoming the build system of choice for many open source projects, leading edge enterprises and legacy automation challenges."

Maven is great for it's conventions... simply use src/main/java, src/main/resources, src/test/java etc and you get a lot for free
Gradle uses the exact same conventions and like maven, you get a lot for free when you use the conventions.
Where you really notice the difference is when you want to perform an extra step or do something slightly different. Maven will usually fight you tooth and nail and waste your precious development time whereas gradle is much more versatile.

A man waiting at the Department of Social Services office in Union said he was attacked by a man with a cane Wednesday, according to police.
Union police said they were called to the DSS office on S. Mountain Street where the victim said he was sitting in the waiting room when the father of his ex-girlfriend, whom he has a child with, came into the room and started questioning him.
After exchanging words, the man told police that 58-year-old Michael Kirby took his walking stick, wrapped the handle around the victim's neck and pulled.
Police said the victim was able to push Kirby away, but then Kirby struck the victim in the arm then fled.
Officers later arrested Kirby and charged him with assault and battery.

Following a close loss Sunday, Broncos Head Coach John Fox and Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio were both fined for yelling at replacement referees a week earlier.
Like us to subscribe
Denver Broncos linebacker Joe Mays will miss one game and lose $50,000 for taking off a piece of Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub's ear.
With his team already riding a two-game losing streak, Denver Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard remains confident that he and teammates can get off to a quicker, more efficient start against Oakland in Week 4.
The Broncos were forced to reel off 14 fourth-quarter points solely to make things interesting late against the Texans, a situation that encourage Woodyard to inform DenverBroncos.com after the game that his team simply can't play like this in the future. "We started off slow and can't do that, especially with a good team," Woodyard said. "In order to be a really good team in the NFL and a team that is solid week in and week out, we have to start fast."
The 26-year-old Woodyard did manage to intercept his second career pass in Sunday's loss, and although it didn't happen, fully expected to burst across the goal line for a defensive touchdown before being tackled. "I did," Woodyard admitted. "I joked the whole week with the guys like, 'Man, if I ever get the ball, I wasn't going to get touched.' I saw the end zone so it felt like it was 200 yards away."
Considering the Broncos have already faced off against two of the better offenses in the league in Atlanta and Houston, a divisional showdown with the Raiders could be just what the doctor ordered to get John Fox's team back on track..

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio have been fined for their criticism of the NFL's replacement officials during Week 2's Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Fox received a $30,000 fine while Del Rio was charged $25,000.
Schefter reported on Sunday that the NFL even called into Atlanta during last week's game to tell the coaches to cool off their behavior directed at the officials. During the game, Fox and Del Rio were actively pestering officials on calls in which they didn't agree.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports said the NFL told the replacement officials to "be more assertive" in dealing with the league's head coaches. Ray Anderson, the NFL executive vice president of football operations, told La Canfora the league sent out a memo warning coaches that the league would be very strict regarding the behavior such as that seen by Fox and Del Rio.

This story was originally published on SBNation.com.
Edged by his opponent on the scoreboard for the second straight week, Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey knows full well that his defense desperately needs to tighten things up going forward in order to win games. The 11-time Pro Bowler made it quite clear to DenverBroncos.com that big plays in the passing game continue to serve as the team's Achilles' heel at the moment.
"We've got to start faster," Bailey said. "I felt like the first five minutes, we were good. Then all of a sudden, they throw two balls over our head. We can't live with that."
Although Bailey and company were able to limit Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson to just two receptions on the afternoon, a key catch by the superstar wideout over the outstretched hand of Bailey ultimately allowed the Texans to kill much of the clock late in the fourth.
"I was right there," Bailey said. "It's just two good players making plays. Once I started following [Johnson] around, he didn't have a catch in crunch time. He made it happen. I've got to give him a lot of credit for that."
While it's hard to believe that leaders like Bailey and quarterback Peyton Manning won't find a way to turn their respective units around in the coming weeks, Bailey is spot-on in his assessment of how debilitating Denver's slow starts have been this year. Eager to claw their way back to .500 with a win, the Broncos should have an opportunity to turn things around in Week 4 against an Oakland Raiders team still trying to find its identity despite a last-second win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos have dropped two games in a row, and in both losses the offense struggled to get churning until later in the game. But comebacks aren't something Manning wants to get accustomed to, and while he said after Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Houston Texans that reviewing game tape will help him make some tweaks, the Broncos must improve their third down situations if they hope to convert them.
Said Manning, via DenverBroncos.com:
"I don't know how many we had, but we weren't very good early on third downs. [We were] probably a little bit better late there in the fourth quarter-got to be able to convert from third downs ... It seems like we had a few more third-and-longs today, and that is kind of playing into Houston's hands."
Manning's quarterback numbers were significantly worse in the two losses compared to the season-opening victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Against the Texans, he threw for 330 yards and two touchdowns, but only completed 26-of-52 passes.
That, however, bettered his three-interception performance in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos certainly didn't look like one of the NFL's elite teams on Sunday, as the Houston Texans came into Mile High Stadium and defeated Denver, 31-25.
Manning's stat line Sunday was fairly pedestrian, completing 26-of-52 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns. Though Manning didn't throw an interception and did throw for over 300 yards, a 50 percent completion rate is hardly Manning-esque.
SB Nation's Bomani Jones wasn't too thrilled with what he saw from Peyton Manning on Sunday -- daring to muse that the Hall of Fame quarterback could just be average at this point in his career.
But are they [the Texans] so good that they made Peyton Manning look average? Or is post-injury Peyton just ... average? The Broncos' passing game fared better than the Dolphins or Jaguars did against Houston, but when did we start comparing Manning to Ryan Tannehill and Blaine Gabbert? Even when one accounts for Sunday's drops and the reasonable time it will take for Manning and his receivers to get comfortable with each other, Manning completed just 50 percent of his passes and averaged 6.3 yards per attempt. His passes don't have much zip and, until the Texans were up by 20, he looked pedestrian at best.
"Pedestrian at best" is not what John Elway had in mind when he brought Manning in to be Denver's quarterback. Still, it's early, and there's plenty of time for Manning and the Broncos to get right. The Broncos will look to even up their record at 2-2 next Sunday, when they host the Oakland Raiders.

Denver couldn't contain the Houston Texans on Sunday, as they dropped their second straight game, a 31-25 loss to the Houston Texans. Peyton Manning and the offense once again struggled to find a rhythm early in the game and the defense couldn't contain the powerful Texans offense, leading to yet another close loss when they couldn't complete the comeback.
SB Nation's Broncos blog, Mile High Report, blamed the loss on execution and plenty of missed chances that the Broncos squandered:
Dropped Passes were a huge problem today. I'm not going to play the blame game or get into "What if" scenarios, so this isn't me pointing fingers at single players. This is a team game and the Broncos didn't lose because of one player or one play.
Nevertheless, the stat line shows that there were numerous dropped passes. Demaryius Thomas was targeted 12 times, finishing with 4 catches for 36 yards. Jacob Tamme was targeted 10 times. He made 3 catches for 31 yards. Now Peyton Manning was 26/52. The stats say he targeted his receivers 50 of those times, so they must be counting two throwaways. The Houston Defense is credited with 10 Pass Break Ups so that makes 14 dropped balls. You can factor that into the next category.
The Broncos will get a chance to up their stock when they play the Raiders next weekend at Sports Authority Field. Other than a surprise win over the Steelers in Week 3, Oakland has had a dire start to 2012.

Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee and linebacker Nate Irving were forced to leave the game on Sunday because of injury, during Denver's 31-25 loss to the Houston Texans.
McGahee suffered a rib injury in the third quarter on Sunday, returned for one play, and then missed the rest of the game because of the injury. No update has been given on McGahee's status, and the severity of the injury is unknown.
Irving sustained a concussion during the loss, and could end up missing next week's game against the Oakland Raiders as a result. Irving was blocked into Houston Texans punt returner Trindon Holliday, striking his helmet against Holliday's shoulder. Irving then fell to the ground, and remained down for several minutes. Fortunately, Irving was able to walk off the field under his own power, but, needless to say, did not return to the game.
Jacob Tamme left the game with a groin injury, but eventually did return to action in the fourth quarter.

The San Diego Chargers retained sole possession of first place in the AFC West despite being routed at home by the Atlanta Falcons, as the Denver Broncos were unable to capitalize at home against the Houston Texans.
The Chargers took a 27-3 beating from the Falcons, who have now beaten two AFC West teams. That put the Broncos in position to climb into a first-place tie, but they were unable to complete a fourth-quarter rally against the Texans in a 31-26 loss. That, combined with the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders' first wins of the season, leaves Denver in a three-way tie for second place.
Things have a chance to get all kinds of weird in Week 4, as the Chargers face the Chiefs and the Broncos face the Raiders. If Kansas City wins, they'd be in a tie for first with the Chargers and the winner of Denver-Oakland. At the same time, the Chiefs, as well as the loser of Denver-Oakland, would be at a real disadvantage -- albeit early on -- at 1-3.

The Houston Texans defeated the Denver Broncos, 31-25, on Sunday afternoon at Sports Authority Field in Denver, Colo. Texans quarterback Matt Schaub threw four touchdown passes in the victory.
Schaub connected with Andre Johnson, Arian Foster and Kevin Walter for touchdowns in the first half, and found Owen Daniels for a second-half score. Schaub completed passes to eight different receivers in the balanced effort.
Schaub's pass to Daniels gave the Texans a 20-point lead, but the Broncos came storming back, picking up two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Peyton Manning hit Brandon Stokley with a 38-yard strike just over five minutes into the quarter. Then, Manning found former Texan Joel Dreessen for a 6-yard score on Denver's next possession.
Houston would bear down and salt the game away on their final possession, as Schaub hooked up with Johnson for a key first down, which allowed the Texans to run the clock down to 33 seconds before having to punt the ball back to Denver.
Peyton Manning threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns and Eric Decker caught eight balls for 136 yards in the losing effort.
Fantasy Stud
Schaub overcame an interception and quite a bit of pressure from the Denver defensive line to throw for 290 yards and four touchdowns.
Fantasy Dud
With Denver playing from behind for the entire second half, Willis McGahee didn't see much action. He carried the ball just 12 times for 36 yards.

Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno is on the inactive list for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. This means rookie running back Ronnie Hillman could see his first NFL action with Moreno out.
Not that Moreno has done much for the Broncos this season, with just 15 yards on eight carries in two games. But he was named the Broncos' No. 2 running back behind Willis McGahee earlier this season, though his fumble last week against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football may have factored into the rookie replacing him this week.
Both third-string quarterbacks, Caleb Hanie for the Broncos and John Beck for the Texans, are inactive for this game. Take a look at the inactive list for both teams.

Week 3 of the 2012 NFL Season continues on Sunday with a slew of good games available for viewing, highlighted by the Denver Broncos hosting the Houston Texans in the third game of the Peyton Manning era in Denver.
Let's look at the television schedule for the Denver area and who will be calling the games.
CBS Early Game: The Kansas City Chiefs travel to face the New Orleans Saints at 1 p.m. ET on CBS as both teams will be looking for their first win of the season. Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf will call the game.
NFL on Fox: The Dallas Cowboys welcome the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a battle of two 1-1 teams at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX. The Cowboys are coming off an embarrassing home loss to the Seattle Seahawks while the Bucs allowed Eli Manning to throw for 510 yards in a tough loss to the Giants. Joe Buck and Cowboys great Troy Aikman will call the game.
CBS Late Game: The Denver Broncos will host the Houston Texans at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS. The Broncos had a great opening game before falling back to earth a bit in their second. The Texans look like a possible Super Bowl team out of the AFC. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will bring you the action.
Sunday Night Football: In a battle of AFC titans, the New England Patriots travel to face the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Both teams are coming off of losses in games decided by two points or less so look for both to play angry and focused. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will announce the game as usual.
After back-to-back games against teams considered favorites to make the playoffs, the schedule doesn't lighten up for the Denver Broncos as they'll face a very tough Houston Texans team in Week 3. The Broncos faced SB Nation's No. 8 team in Week 1, No. 4 team in Week 2 and now face the No. 2 team in Week 3.
With Matt Schaub, Arian Foster and Andre Johnson on offense, it's no secret why the Texans offense is respected around the league as an explosive one. But perhaps even more impressive is the Texans defense that currently ranks as the top unit in the league.
While the Texans have won each of their first two games by 20 points, they did so against the Dolphins and Jaguars. They haven't faced the quality of teams that the Broncos have so far and Denver will easily be their toughest test yet.
For the Broncos to pull out a win, though, they'll need a better performance from Peyton Manning than they received on Monday night when he threw three interceptions in his first eight passes.
Game Date/Time: Sunday, Sept. 23; 2:25 MT
Location: Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colo.
TV Schedule: CBS
TV Distribution Map: The506.com
Radio Schedule
Broncos: 850 KOA
Texans: 610 AM/100.3 FM/1010 AM

The Houston Texans are healthy heading into Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The only player that who may not play is backup linebacker Tim Dobbins who has sat out practice all week with a hamstring injury, and is questionable.
A few starters were listed on Friday's injury report in linebackers Brian Cushing, Connor Barwin and Brooks Reed, and defensive backs Johnathan Joseph.. Plus, guard Antoine Caldwell was listed on the injury report with an ankle injury.
Those six players were able to fully participate in practice on Friday, and are officially listed as probable but they should be playing on Sunday.

|Bryan Braman
|Brandon Brooks

Denver Broncos starting right guard Chris Kuper is the only player currently out against the Texans on Sunday, per Gary Caldwell of DenverBroncos.com.
Kuper suffered a broken forearm during training camp in August and has already missed the first two games of the season. It's likely he is a week away from returning after practicing just once in the lead up to this Sunday's game.
Cornerback Chris Harris and linebacker Von Miller are listed as probable, as is receiver Brandon Stokely. Harris and Miller were both limited at times in practice this week. Stokely, listed as having a shoulder injury, was a full participant in practice this week.
Cornerback Tracy Porter is also listed as probable with a neck injury, with tight end Joel Dreessen also probable for the game against the Texans. Dreessen is listed as having a rib injury.

As is always the case when the Denver Broncos play now, the spotlight is on Peyton Manning, but it is the team on the other sideline that should be getting the attention. Even Peter King can't stop talking about Manning, but eventually he gets around to the 2-0 Houston Texans and says that the pass rush should be enough to propel the visitors to a win on Sunday.
[Manning] needs to use his tight ends on shorter throws and be a chain-mover, not a mad bomber. Even if he does that in this game, the pressure he'll face from the Texans -- from Connor Barwin, Brooks Read and J.J. Watt, mostly -- will be more than enough to throw him off his game.
The Texans have made minced meat of Florida so far this season, beating the Dolphins and Jaguars handily, but the Broncos are their first real test. The Houston pass rush that King notes has six sacks on the year, which is good, but not outstanding.
What will be more interesting is the Texans' attempts to run the ball. They are off to a good start on the ground, averaging 150 yards rushing per game, but the Broncos defense is allowing just 2.6 yards per rush this year.
Mile High Report has everything you could want on Manning and the Broncos. If you want a look at the Texans, Battle Red Blog has you covered.
The Broncos face a tough task in facing the top-ranked Houston Texans defense, so fantasy players could have rough numbers to match.
Expert picks for Sunday's Houston Texans-Denver Broncos game have the road Texans taking this game.
Denver Broncos starting right guard Chris Kuper continues to rehabilitate the broken forearm he sustained during training camp in mid-August, and so sat out Thursday's practice. Kuper is probably still at least a week away from returning to game action, though he did practice on Wednesday.
Other than Kuper, Denver's team health remains good. Cornerback Chris Harris was limited in practice Thursday, but is expected to be available against Houston Sunday. Linebacker Von Miller was a full participant, after taking limited reps on Wednesday.
For Houston, linebacker Brian Cushing was a limited participant in Thursday's practice with a rib injury. Linebacker Tim Dobbins sat out with a hamstring injury. Bryan Braman, Brooks Reid and Antonio Smith were also limited for the Texans.

Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith will become the 23rd member of the team's Ring of Fame during halftime of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Smith is the franchise's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
Smith won two Super Bowls, made three Pro Bowls and was a two-time All-Pro in his Broncos career from 1995-2006. In the Broncos' 34-19 win in Super Bowl XXXIII, Smith had 5 receptions for 152 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown reception. Smith went undrafted and was cut by the New England Patriots in 1994 before catching on with Denver in 1995.
Team owner Pat Bowlan, who announced the honor in May, had this to say to the team's official website:
"Players like Rod don't come through your door very often, but he came through ours every day with a purpose and hunger to be great," Bowlen said in a statement at the time. "Rod's production and numbers - as outstanding as they were - paled in comparison to his commitment to winning and the respect he commanded from each and every one of his teammates throughout his career. Emerging from an undrafted player to one of the best to ever play his position, Rod has truly earned his place among the greatest Broncos of all time.
"I am thankful for everything Rod contributed to this franchise during his time with the Broncos, and I congratulate him on his well-deserved election to the Ring of Fame."

After opening as 1-point favorites, the Denver Broncos are currently 2-point underdogs as they prepare to host the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon.
Not every book appears to be the same, as some favor the Texans by just 1 point, but others are giving them 3 points. The over-under point total is set at 46 points. The 2-0 Texans are averaging 28.5 points per game, while Denver is averaging 26. Houston's backfield of Arian Foster and Ben Tate give the Texans the sixth-ranked rushing offense.
While those numbers don't seem to match up with the over-under, it is defense that is dictating that line. While Denver ranks a respectable eighth in total defense, Houston is the best in the league, giving up a stifling 196 yards per game on the young season.

The Denver Broncos (1-1) enter Sunday's contest with the Houston Texans looking to deliver the road team its first loss of the season. Denver already experienced that in Week 2 with a loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Peyton Manning threw three interceptions in the first quarter, an uncharacteristic happening, before the team attempted a rally in the fourth quarter, which fell short.
But that was on the road for the Broncos. They are back at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday, where they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-19, in the season opener. A few better throws by Manning, another 100-yard rushing performance by Willis McGahee and the strong defense Denver has had to start the season (No. 8 in total yards allowed) and the Broncos could be in the win column again.
However, the Texans have allowed the fewest yards (392) and points (17) through Week 2. Defensive lineman J.J. Watt has three of the team's sacks. In addition to the stout defense, quarterback Matt Schaub has completed 69.7 percent of his passes and the ever-dangerous running back Arian Foster has rushed for 189 yards and three touchdowns already.
Can Peyton Manning recover from Monday's lackluster performance? Will Von Miller, Champ Bailey and the rest of the defense stifle Houston's offense?
Prediction: Broncos 27, Texans 24 - We've seen Good Manning and Bad Manning so far this season. In-between Manning will show up this week, but Matt Prater winds up kicking a field goal for the Broncos.

For the first time in 2012, the Denver Broncos will have a game that isn't in the prime time spotlight when they face the Houston Texans in Week 3 action. Hosting Matt Schaub and the powerful Texans' offense outside of the limelight that is Sunday or Monday Night Football may be a good thing. The Broncos need every advantage they can get as they try to push a bad loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 behind them.
Elsewhere in the NFL, other big games include a matchup between two upstart teams, the Eagles and Cardinals, and a big AFC East match between the Jets and Dolphins, before the Patriots take on the Ravens -- two teams looking to shake off surprising Week 2 losses.
Here is the full slate of games for Week 3, all times given are Mountain:
Thursday, Sept. 20
Sunday, Sept. 23
Monday, Sept. 24

This is a link to my work over at ACB on what's wrong with Alfonso Soriano... or, more accurately, what was wrong with Soriano. The short answer is his power has declined steadily over the last few years and he's lost some plate coverage. The good news is that it looks like he may have made adjustments in July that have the potential to bring him back to previous production levels. The sample sizes are small on this so only time will tell whether he does become the monster at the plate we know he's been or if this is just a temporary respite from the ills of age-induced regression.
I'll be in and out all day as I have other (real) work to do. But if you have questions feel free to leave them here or at ACB and I'll be happy to answer them at some point.

Testing 101: The only way to scientifically improve your conversion rateAugust 2, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Conversions are king. A conversion is the most valuable action a visitor of your website can do. Depending on the organization's goals, a conversion can be a variety of actions: purchasing a product/service, filling out a call-to-action form indicating they're interested in your services, signing up to be contacted regularly from your organization (blog, newsletter, special offers), completing a multi-step registration form, etc. All other metrics are secondary to the mighty conversion. You could pay an SEO firm to try to rank higher for particular keywords, sign up for a pay-per-click program, run advertisements through every marketing channel, but if your visitors are not becoming customers at a profitable conversion rate then you're just wasting your money on more browse & bounce traffic.

Social Validation: A Powerful Online Decision-Making InfluenceFebruary 29, 2012 at 1:00 pm
While reading countless lawn mower reviews online researching which model to buy, I had one of those "What would I have done before the internet?" moments. My dad had a Lawn Boy mower growing up that is still running so that's a strong endorsement. I spotted two of my neighbors with Lawn Boys, so I would have talked to them to validate my dad's testimonial. If I still wasn't convinced, the Home Depot associate telling me that they sell more Lawn Boys than any other mower would have sealed the deal. This is what social validation looked like before the internet. more

Killshot Movie UpdateBy: Heartland News
We may finally know what'll become of the movie Killshot.
Filming began in Cape Girardeau in January 2006. It was supposed to be blockbuster film starring Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke and several others.
The production company released an official preview. But the movie itself never came out, and the filmmakers never said why.
Now one of the stars of Killshot may have given us an idea.
Killshot might not be coming to the big screen.
An interview was recently posted online with Thomas Jane, one of the actors in the movie.
"I did a movie called Killshot. That looks like it's going straight to DVD. It didn't turn out so hot I guess," Jane said.
Jane didn't mention when the movie might be out on DVD.
The film's production company, Film Colony, in Los Angeles had no update on the film.
Heartland News also tried to contact the representative for the movie, but did not get a response.
Here's the link to the interview. Click on the pink play button. The Killshot mention is about 15 minutes into the interview.
