Stacie Levy | February 26, 2013 | Comments
We can't grow as marketers and improve our results without questioning the status quo and challenging ourselves in new ways.
I recently went to a yoga class where the teacher, Tiffany, shared a personal story that really hit home with me. When she was 5 years old, without her grandpa's or father's knowledge, she overheard a conversation between the two of them. Her grandpa was telling her father how two of her cousins were very athletic but that Tiffany wasn't and couldn't even catch a ball.
Off the bat, Tiffany accepted this as a truth and went on to live the "un-athletic" persona, had a happy childhood, and described herself as more of a bookworm. She said, "That's just who I was." It wasn't until she started doing yoga that she recognized her athletic ability and began challenging herself in new ways. And now Tiffany can proudly say that she has successfully completed a sprint triathlon and is a well-respected yoga teacher. She can even catch a ball!
This story got me thinking about what current situations I may be accepting as truths or just "the way it is." Translating this over to the world of marketing automation, I started thinking about what programs we may be simply running while thinking, "This is just what works." However, just because something is working, doesn't mean it's all we can do or that we've reached our full potential. We can't grow as marketers and improve our results without questioning the status quo and challenging ourselves in new ways. In this spirit, I'm offering a few ways we can start to challenge "what is" and hopefully reach new heights:
Growth is a process and doesn't always happen overnight. Hopefully these few ideas will get you thinking differently about "what is" and start focusing on "what could be." Let's keep challenging ourselves to new heights!

Before I get into my own green goodness, Stephanie over at Babes Rockin Mami wrote an excellent green post this week--- you should check it out here. I love Stephanie because she's not afraid to tell it like it is and she feels just as passionately about our Earth as I do. Plus she has a hippie-ish background (in her own words), so she's been at this a heck of a lot longer than I.
Also, Juney over at 3! A Charm is being a good little greenie this week by making her own produce bags! Pink and flowers? How cute can you get? Check them out here. Juney has been blessed with the crafty, creative gene, whereas I have not. I really wish I could make my own bags like these. I think she should open her own Etsy shop, don't you?
Grag our button & go green with us!
Now, I realize this is a subject none of us really likes to discuss, but in the interest of being GREEN, I'm going to go there. And you're going with me, like it or not. Let's hold hands and skip, shall we? Guys, if you are still reading, it's time for you to click off. Final warning! Off you go, MARCH!
Ladies, meet Natracare. I made a switch a few years ago to mostly organic tampons and pads. I also prefer tampons without applicators because they create less waste. Did you know that most tampons contain bleach and/or chlorine? I don't know about you, but I don't want those chemicals inside of me for several days each month. Still not convinced? Then read this, sent directly to me in an email from one of Natracare's representatives, Theresa White. It's mind boggling. Please share this with your sisters, daughters, friends, cousins, aunts, and mothers:
Every year over 45 billion feminine hygiene products are disposed of somewhere. In 1990 over 12 billion sanitary pads were land-filled or incinerated in the United States and Canada alone. Approximately 90% of the materials used to make a single conventional sanitary pad or liner, as well as some claiming to be "natural" are produced from crude oil. One pack of 14 conventional sanitary pads yields the equivalent of just over 17 sq feet of plastic! Plastic is a synthetic material and NEVER biodegrades. Plastic is forever. Over time, it is broken down by sunlight into smaller and smaller pieces, all of which are still plastic polymers. Even this degradation process can take a very long time. It has been estimated that just one disposable diaper or sanitary pad can take up to 500 years to degrade! Using plastic laden feminine hygiene products only adds to the increasing plastic pollution.
For more than 21 years, Natracare has done much to lessen the environmental impact of sanitary products on our planet by producing a full range of plastic free natural and certified 100% organic cotton tampons, sanitary pads, panty liners and wipes as well as nursing pads, post partum maternity pads and certified organic cotton baby wipes. They are totally chlorine free (TCF), biodegradable and compostable. They are safe for septic tanks and made from sustainable and renewable resources.
Natracare is not just content to provide high quality products that are both better for the environment and for women's health. Consumers can feel confident that Natracare can substantiate its environmental claims with its International EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). This measures the carbon footprint of the full lifecycle of a product including the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted from raw material extraction to manufacture, transport and the disposal stages. Natracare is the first feminine hygiene company in the world to achieve this and in a commitment to offset their measured carbon footprint of the Ultra Pads, they are supporting the Woodland Trust to plant and lifetime manage trees.

Seventh Generation also sells natural brown paper towels. Have you ever stopped to notice or think about how many things are pristine white just for aesthetic purposes? And have you thought about how they got that way? I don't know about you, but I don't want The Father Load drinking coffee laced with chlorine and who knows what else! And for my own health and well being, I certainly don't want those chemicals near my, a-hem, lady parts. To be honest, part of me wonders if this impacted my fertility and inability to conceive. Perhaps not so far fetched if you really think about it. But maybe I'll never know.
So be aware. Educate everyone you know. Read labels. Be informed.

The San Francisco Film Society (SFFS) confirms what we reported earlier--Noah Cowan will start as Executive Director of the organization, effective March 3.
Cowan, 46, once had Cameron Bailey's programming gig at the Toronto International Film Festival--he started as a programmer for the Midnight Madness program in 1989 and wound up as codirector with CEO Piers Handling-- and in January resigned as founding artistic director of TIFF Bell Lightbox. That's because Cowan is taking over the executive director spot at the San Francisco Film Society vacated by Ted Hope (now CEO at Fandor). Cowan will oversee the Film Society's expanding programs in exhibition, education and filmmaker services, working closely with Director of Education Joanne Parsont, Director of Filmmaker360 Michele Turnure-Salleo, and The San Francisco International Film Festival's Director of Programming Rachel Rosen (April 24–May 8, 2014).
When Hope announced he was leaving the SFFS, Cowan called him up, and they had a long chat. "I thought the job sounded interesting and Ted encouraged me to speak to the board," Cowan says in a phone interview. "I've had the privilege over the last decade to focus on the artistic side of my field, and help to create exhibitions and film retrospectives and shape a major film festival. But increasingly I felt the need to return to the executive director chair to work on shaping an organization and really look to the future of what I'd like to see film become."
The well-funded San Francisco Film Society, which mounts one of the world's oldest annual film festivals, appealed to Cowan. "It's had a huge impact on how Americans have consumed international art films, a tradition I would be happy to be part of. I'm walking into an organization that is doing really well, with opportunity for growth. This is a happy beginning. I can't say enough about the staff, the high quality leaders in all programming areas."
Over the next few years, Cowan wants to be thoughtful about what the future of festivals could be, "not in the sense of creating a new Toronto or Sundance, that's not necessarily what the medium needs, there's a lot of market fatigue," he says. "More that festivals should try and present different alternative views of how they are presented to the public. We can explore throughout the Bay area, and think through innovative ways of making film come alive. The Bay area is full of innovators. We can try new things and have some fun."
Cowan is not only excited to be back on comfortable festival turf, but is eager to dive into the SFFS's innovative education and filmmaker support programs. Both areas are of great interest to him; he embarked on several new education programs at TIFF Lightbox, and was surprised to find that SFFS had engaged on many parallel tracks. Cowan looks forward to reaching out to such forward-thinking Bay area companies as Lucasfilm and Pixar as well as working with the SFFS education team on growing a more national profile. He sees San Francisco as a city with cultural similarities to Toronto, with a "diverse makeup and curiosity about global culture," he says. "And it has a nerd factor which is a part of my personality and something I'm attracted to."
While Cowan does not see himself as a Ted Hope, "who is a thought leader at the intersection of film and new media," he says, "what I do know is that our fate as a medium, for film lovers and makers, is in the hands of these companies that moved from startups to content companies. Understanding their needs and how we fit into their business practice is a very important goal for any not-for-profit involved in cinema. We need to begin this conversation seriously, or film may get left behind in ways we wouldn't like. We should be mindful and respectful of the scope of these companies, and continue to engage in conversations with tech leaders. It's vital for our future. But I don't know the end goal of those conversations. We can't enter into that dialogue with pre-conceived notions. I am looking forward to meeting the appropriate interlocuters at those companies. It's going to be fascinating."
Equally exciting for Cowan is getting into Filmmaker360's support of filmmakers, which will allow him to engage in production activity. Thus far he has been more of an arts administrator, programmer, educator, distributor, curator and exhibitor than active participant in the production process. So he'll be checking out with different eyes the new crop of filmmakers. "Nothing gives me more pleasure than mentoring young talent."
Robbin Michael Wagner | February 19, 2014 2:59 PM
Great to see Noah Cowan taking up the Ted Hope spot at SFFS. However, Noah's position at SFFS will be to look at every possible business model that comes across his desk regarding self-distribution for independent filmmakers. Many filmmakers, myself included, have presented some great ideas to the SF film society that, in the end, did not serve the personal agendas of some of the current SFFS staff. That being said, TIFF has had a wonderful run under the watchful eye of Noah and it is hoped that the SFFS is not just for the richly entitled. The voices of impecnunious filmmakers should be considered as well. The current economy is a reflection of secular doctrines that do not take in to account the present day mass cynacism regarding festivals and movie tax incentives. The Jobs Act is an ideal funding solution for thousands of indie filmmakers. The suggestion by me and many filmmakers is that each film society oversee the administration of it with proceeds from self-distribution, i.e., Vimeo On Demand for example going directly to the society as a charitable donation from the filmmakers. Who wouldn't want charitable proceeds to go back to the society that administered the funding assistance from richly entitled donors? Staff members whose persona agendas don't benefit from such altruistic ideas. Thats who. Lets encourage Noah Cowan to remain open minded as SFFS's new director.

Albany - An Albany man is warning others to make sure their pets are protected against rabies. Mark Williamson said when he pulled into his Stonebridge home Monday night, his three dogs were barking up a tree and fighting a raccoon.
The raccoon lost the battle with the dogs, especially with 90-pound Sampson, a great Dane, blue tick mix. But the event wasn't without a scare. The next day, that Raccoon tested positive for rabies.
Although Williamson's dogs are all vaccinated, he still took them to the vet for booster shots and wants others to make sure their animals shots are up to date. He said, "Two neighbors right around the corner were, 'wow, we haven't gotten their rabies shots since we've been here.' It's a relatively new neighborhood. But it's anywhere. It's behind St. Teresa's Church, it's anywhere. Off Lullwater, Doublegate, it doesn't matter."
Vets warn to never approach any animal you believe may be rabid. And always report a suspicious animal you think may be infected to the health department.

What is Xolair?Xolair (omalizumab) is an injectable medication used to treat moderate to severe allergic asthma. It can be used in people 12 years and older who still have uncontrolled asthma despite typical asthma medications, such as inhaled steroids. Injections are given in the doctor's office every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on a person's weight and allergic antibody (IgE) level. Check to see if your asthma is controlled by taking the asthma control test.
Xolair is a monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, which binds to IgE in the bloodstream, allowing the body to remove them. The drug is produced in mice, and therefore contains approximately 5% mouse protein (it does not appear that an allergy to mouse protein causes problems for people receiving Xolair). This prevents IgE from attaching to mast cells, and binding to allergens, which ultimately results in the release of histamine and other chemicals. It is these chemicals which cause worsening of asthma and other allergy symptoms.
Xolair has been shown to decrease asthma attacks, improve spirometry values, improve overall quality of life for people with asthma, and reduce the amount of corticosteroids needed. Generally, it can take a few months of injections for Xolair to begin to work, and the medication can be very expensive. Xolair is not a cure for asthma; symptoms would be expected to worsen a few months after Xolair therapy is stopped.
What Risks are Associated with Xolair?Xolair currently has a "black box" warning, which a precautionary statement given to the medication by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This warning has come about as a result of reports of people experiencing anaphylaxis after receiving Xolair. During clinical development, the rate of anaphylaxis was less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000 people receiving Xolair injections). Since Xolair has been available for prescription use, this rate has risen to 0.2% (2 people per 1,000 Xolair injections).
While there are no reports of fatal anaphylaxis as a result of Xolair, some cases have been serious, and potentially life-threatening. For this reason, the FDA requires that people receiving Xolair be monitored in the physician's office for a period of time after their injections. The actual amount of time is determined by the physician, although I monitor patients for 30 to 60 minutes after injections (and for 2 hours after the first Xolair injection).
People who receive Xolair should watch out for the following symptoms of anaphylaxis, which could occur up to 24 hours (or longer) after the injection:
- Wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, chest tightness or trouble breathing
- Low blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, rapid or weak heartbeat
- Flushing, itching, hives or swelling
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal pains
- Swelling of the throat, tongue, lips, or eyes
- Throat tightness, hoarse voice, trouble swallowing
- Sudden severe sneezing, severe runny nose or nasal congestion
- Anxiety or feeling of panic
Should any of these symptoms occur, it is important to notify your physician immediately. Many physicians prescribe injectable epinephrine for a person to carry for 24 hours after their Xolair injection, to use in the case of anaphylaxis.
During clinical development, rates of cancer were slightly higher in people receiving Xolair (0.5%) compared to people receiving placebo injections (no active medication) (0.2%). The types of cancers seen in people receiving Xolair include various types, and include breast cancer, skin cancers and prostate cancer. It is not yet known what the potential long-term effects of Xolair use may have on people who are prone to getting cancer (such as the elderly).
While it would appear that Xolair has potentially severe side effects, it must be remembered that anaphylaxis and cancer formation occurred only in a very small number of patients. It is still not known why these side effects occur, although studies are ongoing to determine the reason. It is also important to realize that uncontrolled asthma can lead to severe complications, including death. And medications used to treat asthma attacks, such as oral and injected corticosteroids, have a long list of side effects with long term use.
It is therefore important to discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of taking Xolair for asthma that is not controlled on typical asthma medications.
Can Xolair be used for other Allergic Conditions?Currently, Xolair is only indicated by the FDA to treat asthma. However, numerous studies have been conducted, and others are ongoing, to use medications like Xolair to treat other allergic diseases, such as food allergy, latex allergy, drug allergy, insect allergy and chronic hives. It is important to realize that the use of Xolair for these conditions is not consistent with FDA dosing indication.

Topamax, an epilepsy and migraine medication that is already on the market is being studied because new research suggests that it can also treat alcohol addiction. It is called Topiramate when used in this capacity and it works in the brain to suppress the pleasure of drinking. Researchers say that as an added benefit, it appears to reduce some of the ill-effects of alcohol dependence.
Bankole Johnson, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Virginia, says, "Mainly this will reduce the liver enzymes and also reduce blood pressure and decrease cholesterol. I think that one of the cornerstones of what we've done is to demonstrate that the treatment for alcoholism can be like a treatment for blood pressure or like the treatment of diabetes which is uncomplicated. You should be able to go to your doctor, tell them about your drinking, have a pill that will help you, with some psychological support, and be followed up by your doctor".
Topiramate does not work overnight; it can take a few weeks.
Larger studies are underway at the University of Virginia. For information about the study, (click here). Then type the trial identification number in the search box: NCT00223639.

Band leader Johnny Cooper says music, fans evolve through the years
Singer continues to grow, plans his third studio album
Who: Johnny Cooper/Joey Green (country)
When: Friday; doors open at 6 p.m.
Where: Lucky Mule Saloon, 1850 South Clack St.
Cost: Free in advance with ticket before 8 p.m., $5 after 8 p.m. at door with ticket or $10 without ticket. Free tickets available at Sole Tan, 2654 Industrial Blvd.; Abby's Bottles & Brew, 5194 Buffalo Gap Road; CiCi's Pizza, 3366 Turner Plaza; and True Grit of Texas, 3226 S. Clack St.
If you had asked Johnny Cooper when he was 16 if he still would be playing music nearly eight years after releasing his first album, "Live at the Pub," he probably would have said you were crazy.
But Cooper — now 23 —is doing just that.
"I am glad we are still getting the opportunity and are still relevant with everything that is going on," Cooper said in a recent telephone interview. "That's a hard thing to keep going."
Cooper performs Friday night at the Lucky Mule Saloon with Joey Green as a part of 99.7 KBCY's Free Music Series.
A band can have a good four- or five-year run but the toughest thing is to keep on top of the game and keep people excited.
"It's something that has been good to work at," Cooper said.
There is no book with all the answers and Cooper believes the best thing to do is to just stay on the road and give people something different while allowing them to evolve with him.
"You just kind of have to let people come on the journey with you so they can understand it a little better than if you were to sit them down and explain it all to them and make them figure it out. It just doesn't work that way ... for my group it seems to work better a little more organically," Cooper said.
Life has been treating Cooper really well, too.
His most recent release, "Live at the Pub II" came out last year and was a marker of progression years after releasing his first live disc.
"We didn't have any knowledge of what we were doing the first time around," Cooper said.
Cooper has grown a great deal in between the two live albums and his musical ability also has been aided by recording two studio albums with hopes to hit the studio for a third album later this year.
"Just being in the studio kind of changes how you work recording-wise," he said, as it has helped the band learn the technical process of recording.
Doing all of this organically while letting the right pieces fall into place lies very much in his philosophy to do things himself as much as possible.
"I'm not saying this is wrong by any means, but sometimes you can get the opportunity to get a hand from somebody else and they can make some more career things happen for you than you can by yourself. But you may also lose some of your integrity by letting them help you out if you go that way as well," Cooper said. "I'm not saying either way is wrong or right, it depends on each person and what they are trying to achieve."
Cooper and his band have done things on their own with the hope to see how far they can take it just as themselves. And it's hard for Cooper to believe he has been playing music professionally for almost a decade. But there will always be something to learn and the opportunity to continue to keep growing, even if that means something different forms later on.
"That's the main thing, is you have just got to keep trying to grow outside your own little box," he said.

The question of who will play the roles of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey in the film adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey has been plaguing fans for months. There have been countless rumors about which of Hollywood's leading actors and actresses will fill the role. It has become indiscernible who is actually in the running and who fans just want to see on screen. Already, Garrett Hedlund has rejected the part of Christian and apparently Ian Somerhalder is not even being considered (sigh). And now, according to The Wrap, the most recent name to be thrown in the hat is Dakota Johnson.
Johnson is likely best remembered for her romp with Justin Timberlake in The Social Network. But you might have missed her headlining spot on Fox's short-lived sitcom Ben and Kate. Johnson played a Kate, opposite Nat Faxton as Ben — a pair of siblings raising Kate's five-year-old daughter. The show was canceled before finishing its 18 episode run due to pretty low ratings. However, it's important to note that despite Johnson only being 23, she has some age to her. Ratings notwithstanding, the actress can play the role of a more world-worn woman quite successfully.
In comparison to the other women being considered for Anastasia, she may seem (not actually be, but seem) too old for the part. For example, Shailene Woodley is 21 years old, but can easily play the part of a young teenager, as demonstrated in her previous roles (like Secret Life of the American Teenager and The Spectacular Now). Lucy Hale is 24, though believable as her Pretty Little Liars character: a high school student who sleeps with her teacher. Felicity Jones is 29 and just recently played a student in the film Breathe In. Alexis Bledel is the oldest of the bunch, 31 years old, and a solid fan favorite as well. She is still playing the role of teenagers in her 30s. All of these facts are in important — even though the character of Anastasia is in her early 20s there is supposed to be a pure, childlike innocence to her. An innocence that Dakota Johnson doesn't possess. Though not necessarily a bad trait, it's one that might hinder her from nabbing this specific role.

The Story: Java, the oldest new programming language around, is falling out of favor with developers. When it comes to developing the increasingly common rich Internet applications, Java is losing ground to Ruby on Rails, PHP, AJAX and other cool new languages. And there are even reports that Microsoft's .Net, of all things, is pushing Java out of the enterprise. Makes you wonder whether Sun was smart to change its stock-ticker code to JAVA last summer.
[ Slideshow: 2007's top underreported tech stories ]
Simply put, developers are saying that Java slows them down. "There were big promises that Java would solve incompatibility problems [across platforms]. But now there are different versions and different downloads, creating complications," says Peter Thoneny, CEO of Twiki.net, which produces a certified version of the open source Twiki wiki-platform software. "It has not gotten easier. It's more complicated," concurs Ofer Ronen, CEO of Sendori, which routes domain traffic to online advertisers and ad networks. Sendori has moved to Ruby on Rails. Ronen says Ruby offers pre-built structures — say, a shopping cart for an e-commerce site — that you'd have to code from the ground up using Java.
Another area of weakness is the development of mobile applications. Java's UI capabilities and its memory footprint simply don't measure up, says Samir Shah, CEO of software testing provider Zephyr. No wonder the mobile edition of Java has all but disappeared, and no wonder Google is creating its own version (Android).
These weaknesses are having a real effect. Late last month, Info-Tech Research Group said its survey of 1,850 businesses found .Net the choice over Java among businesses of all sizes and industries, thanks to its promotion via Visual Studio and SharePoint. Microsoft is driving uptake of the .Net platform at the expense of Java," says George Goodall, a senior research analyst at Info-Tech.
One bit of good news: developers and analysts agree that Java is alive and well for internally developed enterprise apps. "On the back end, there is still a substantial amount of infrastructure available that makes Java a very strong contender," says Zephyr's Shah.
The Bottom Line: Now that Java is no longer the unchallenged champ for Internet-delivered apps, it makes sense for companies to find programmers who are skilled in the new languages. If you're a Java developer, now's the time to invest in new skills.

Hey y'all,
This is my first time posting anything on here so bear with me. I'm a 2005 Tech graduate that lives up in Seattle with my girlfriend, who graduated from A&M. Boy, I feel better getting that one of my chest. If anybody knows of any support groups that deal with this sort of thing feel free to let me know.
As you can see while this game may only have limited bowl, Big 12, and national significance; it has tremendous implications within my apartment. I visit Double-T on daily basis but I'm little disappointed on the lack of emotion, fire and brimstone, or anti-aggie banter. Last time I checked this was a rivalry game that is taking place on Halloween (celebrated). I know where we stand this year but I say statistics shamistics. We can roll into the Bryan-College Station Metroplex and roll these nut grabbers. I don't know what's going on in Lubbock but I feel like their is a general malaise on both sides of this game. Trust me if the team wants this, it's theirs for the taking. I don't know what happens in College Station on Halloween, I'm sure it involves some sort of synchronized hand gesture followed by duck call or something, but it's OUR day. I'm not sure Tubs knows that, somebody should call him. OK I got to get back to work. Thanks for letting me vent. Hopefully in the future I have something more meaningful. Enclosed is some slaphappy Halloween music from The Reverend Horton Heat. The song is fast, up tempo, you know how our offense is supposed to play. If it's not embedded at the bottom, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn4lJqbv7So. Sorry it's my first time. Get your Guns Up!

Scott Proctor certainly isn't becoming a favorite among Braves fans.
Brandon Beachy kept the Braves in the game despite allowing a home run to pitcher Zach Britton, but the Orioles avoid the sweep with a late-inning home run from Mark Reynolds for a 5-4 victory.
Normally, AL pitchers aren't very good hitters, but Britton lifted a pitch over the right field wall in the third inning for his first major-league home run. The Orioles added another run on a sacrifice fly from Mark Reynolds. They extended their lead to 3-0 with an RBI double by Nick Markakis in the fifth. Markakis finished the game with five hits, setting a career high.
Beachy allowed seven hits and recorded six strikeouts in his five innings. He did not issue a walk.
The Braves offense couldn't do much against Britton. They only recorded two hits and a walk against him through the first four innings, but threatened to score in the fifth. Atlanta loaded the bases with one out on a walk and a pair of singles and Jason Heyward batting, but he hit into an easy double play to squander the threat.
The offense did not, however, fail to capitalize in the sixth against the young lefty. Freddie Freeman smacked an RBI single to score Chipper Jones and with the bases loaded, Brian McCann scored on Julio Lugo's groundout. Eric Hinske came off the bench and delivered a two-run single to give the Braves a 4-3 lead.
Proctor was called on in the seventh inning and looked to have an easy outing after a pair of strikeouts, but with one on, he grooved a fastball to Mark Reynolds and Reynolds launched it for a two-run home run, thereby coughing up the lead. The home run was his third of the series.
Chipper batted with two outs in the ninth and with a 3-1 count, Kevin Gregg struck him out looking on ball four and ball five, but both were called strikes to end the game.

WAUNAKEE (WKOW) -- Nearly 50 volunteers from the Waunakee area will travel to Guatemala and Haiti for a mission project to help impoverished children and their families.
They're taking over 2,500 pounds of donations to help. The volunteers will meet at the Dallas, Texas airport on Wednesday where they will meet with four additional teams from Vermont, Indiana and Arizona.
The goal of the trip will be to bring donated medications, clothing, shoes, toys, vitamins and other items to those people in need in Haiti and Guatemala.
Team activities in Guatemala will include: Mobile medical and dental clinic for a village with no access to health care, support of a feeding program for severely starved children, the installation of agriculture projects including fruit trees, vegetable gardens and egg laying hens.
The activities in Haiti will include: Mobile medical clinic for a village with no access to health care, the building of a high school for 230 children who will be the first in their village to attain education levels higher that 6th grade and construction projects to improve slum housing.

Rev Martin Allwood appointed as vicar in Ryedale parishes
Updated 8:17am Saturday 25th January 2014 in News
A NEW vicar is to be appointed for six parishes in Ryedale. The Rev Martin Allwood will replace Rev Beryl Bowes, who retired in 2012.
Mr Allwood will be instituted by the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, on Wednesday at All Saints' Church, Hovingham – one of the parishes that he will take over.
The others are St Helen's Amotherby, All Saints' Appleton-le-Street, St Michael's Barton-le-Street, Coneysthorpe Chapel, St George the Martyr Scackleton, and All Saints', Slingsby.
Born in Swaziland in 1971, Mr Allwood moved to South Africa as a child and went on to take a degree in Agricultural Horticulture, before moving to the UK in 2001.
He is married to Colleen, and when he is not working with the church he enjoys walking his two dogs and paddling in his kayak.

In this post from Chris Daniels, King5 reports that the Hansen group is likely going to bring up the 2004 study stating the Downtown Plaza would be the most expensive of 7 sites researched for a new arena. The report apparently cites a high cost for the land and high construction costs.
Sources say Hansen's group is pointing to a Sacramento City Commissioned "Sports Arena Site Analysis" done back in 2004. That study, still active on the city's website as of this writing, looked at several locations for a new Kings arena. A "Cost Comparison Matrix" showed that of seven possible locations, the Downtown Plaza site (7th and K) was the most expensive.
Yes, you read that correctly. A report on land and structure values from 2004. In other news from 2004, my parents' house (in Sacramento area) which they purchased new for $300k in 2002, is now worth $660k. But back in reality (i.e. 2013), my parents' house is worth about $215k.
Beyond this, the land has changed hands and now belongs to JMA Ventures, who is actually on board with the arena at the DTP.
Oh yeah, and cost overruns for the development of the arena will be picked up by the investors--the 4 whales who build stuff for a living--okay, so only 2 of them are primarily known as developers...
Chris Daniels actually points to the change in ownership and the responsibility of the investors to pick up any cost overruns, and yet he gives them nothing more than cursory acknowledgement. His very next statement is that the Hansen investment group "could use the old study to make an argument that the math doesn't add up."
Excuse me Mr. Hansen. I have some math that doesn't add up here. It's called using a study that was completed nearly a decade ago! It's called trying to poke holes in numbers regarding the feasibility of development when the investors are signed off to pick up any extra cost for development. The math that doesn't add up is in trying to use statements that call the purchase of the site as "expensive" when JMA owns the property and is participating in the development of arena and surrounding properties. The math that doesn't add up is using the value of land from 2004 in the heart of the Sacramento Valley in California when the California economy has been turned upside down in the 9 years since the completion of the study. Mr. Hansen, your math is the one that doesn't add up.
And Mr. Daniels, your reporting on this was just lazy.

Not to be confused with the "30 Rock" episode. Contraction. And to me this is what the NBA really needs to do. Off the top of my head I named 8 teams that really have no business being in the NBA. Charlotte, New Orleans, Memphis, Sacramento(Although I could see the argument for them) Cleveland, LA...Clippers(seriously if you live in LA and root for them over the Lakers you are just an idiot), Toronto, and Minnesota. Those teams in reality have no business being in the league. Some would say why Cleveland? They Just LeBron James. Nobody is going to care there anymore. Cut it down to 22 teams and have those players either drafted or become free agents. Have a lottery. Not sure but either way, get rid of those teams. Why should Chris Paul, Rudy Gay, Tyreke Evans, Kevin Love, OJ Mayo, and others be forced to play on teams that just don't matter.
People always say there are no more elite teams. This is why. Too many teams. Contract and make the Assosiation better. What say you???

It looks like Vincent Cassel's agent has had a busy week. Just two days after it was revealed that the actor was set to star in the sequel "Dobermann 2: Arm Wrestle," Cassel has lined up yet another project.
Cineurope reports that Cassel is set to team with legendary filmmaker Costa-Gavras ("Z," "Missing") for the financial world drama "Le Capital." Unlike recent films like "Too Big To Fail," "Margin Call" or "Inside Job," this project will expand it's scope well beyond the borders of the United States taking "a behind-the-scenes look at the higher echelons of the banking world, where the thirst for money and power is masked as managerial rationality. Here we move in the circles of the economic elite and the international jet set between Paris, London, New York, Davos and Tokyo, basking in the artificial paradise of drugs, the artificial images of the Internet, the artificial bubble of fleeting fortunes, the artificial time of different time zones and artificial sex fueled by wild fantasies." So kind of like a "Babel" for the banking world?
The film is named after the biggest bank in Europe and is based on a novel by Stéphane Osmont which features a satirical take on the head of the financial institution. We're already wearying under the recent glut of these kinds of films, but Costa-Gavras will likely bring a unique approach and with Cassel at the center, we'll definitely be watching. But this isn't the first time Cassel has worked with a Gavras. The filmmaker is the father of up-and-coming helmer Romain Gavras, who made his feature debut with "Our Day Will Come" starring Cassel and has made waves earlier this year with his electric ad for Adidas featuring music by Justice.
No word yet on when this will get rolling, but with the expansive scope, we'd guess there will be more names attracted to the project very soon.
Dominique | June 15, 2011 7:38 AM
I agree with Gavras ..I bet that this movie is gonna be great ...
Vincent Cassel is fantastic
nyguy | May 26, 2011 4:55 AM
Very good news, Cassell and Costa-Gavras will make a great team. If only C-G's film "East Meets West" would get distribution here. I saw it at a film festival and it is easily one of the best (and timely) films of the past few years. It reminded me of Chaplin, it's that good.

The key appointment of the next U.S. Secretary of the Treasury is the former junior of Robert Rubin and Larry Summers at Treasury, Tim Geithner. He originally came from Kissinger and Associates before moving on from Treasury to the Fed Bank Reserve of New York.
Here Geithner's main qualifying distinction – not mentioned in press releases – has been as chair of a central committee of the BIS (Bank of International Settlements), a body of chief-executive international bankers which has been the unseen point-man of neoliberalism over the last 25 years. The BIS first cut its teeth on collecting debt reparations from
In short, Geithner is an international money-man and banker. This is not what America and the world needs, but it is a clear symbol of what the incoming presidential administration is doing behind all the hoopla of "Change We Need" and "The People's President". The social security Obama has promised is not for the people. It is for the big banks. More specifically, it is for international private money sequences that bleed
Obama has quietly agreed with the really big shock treatment – $700 billion dollars and climbing of public wealth transferred to the big banks when the government is already in debt-deficit crisis – with another further 25 billion plus 300-billion credit handed out to Citigroup, a Rockefeller bank, and then on November 25, the whole doubled to $1.5 trillion. The mind boggles at the feeding frenzy of the deregulated and failed banks gobbling up all the government money (and future citizen taxes) now handed over with Obama's support and no clear accountability or condition
Obama and Bush agree that we must "do whatever is required to save our financial institutions". Yet compare their supine surrender to the demanded limitless bailout to Thomas Jefferson's more practical wisdom: "Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the Government at defiance. The issuing power [of money credit] should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs".
The "monied aristocracy" and its servants, however are now bowed to as an unaccountable and non-productive force bending the nation to its will, with government handing over as much public money as they demand "to keep credit flowing". The democratically accountable alternative is that government reclaims it constitutional powers over money creation and credit to leave the banks in the dustbin of history where the free market has taken their parasitic leveraging of society's medium of exchange. Yet even when the big banks have shown they are incapable of running the shop, the Obama and Bush presidencies silently fill their tills with money when they have bankrupted themselves by exploiting a deregulated free-market in money-pyramid schemes. Conditions of public ownership of the banks as purchased by the government has not surfaced to the minds of
Why not just hand all government taxing powers over to Wall Street straight out? The better part of a trillion dollars has already gone with no conditions, while auto makers were told they must have exact plans of what they plan to do with less than one twenty-fifth of that before they get any, although hundreds of thousands of workers are on the verge of unemployment without it. Note that the promised over-$700 billion hasn't saved one homeowner from bank closures on their homes, and credit for the real economy is as stiffed by the banks as before.
The money-men run the show. The people and the real economy go down the hole.
Obama says he is bringing "fresh thinking" to the economic direction of the nation and the world with Larry Summers as chief of economic policy formation. Everyone behind him is thinking that Obama is just doing what he needs to get his program of productive economics, employment, non-oil energy, and environmentally friendly manufacture up and running. It is worthwhile reviewing the record of Summers, Obama's chief of economic thinking.
The "Fresh Thinking" of Larry Summers
Recall that before becoming Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury at the turn of third millennium where he mentored Geithner, Larry Summers had distinguished himself as an outspoken ideologue of the money theism which done the damage along with criminal foreign wars. It has stripped
1) The measurements of the costs of health impairing pollution depends on the foregone earnings from increased morbidity and mortality. – – – I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that.
2) I've always thought that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly UNDER-polluted, their air quality is probably vastly inefficiently low compared to
3) The demand for a clean environment for aesthetic and health reasons is likely to have very high income elasticity. – – – While production is mobile the consumption of pretty air is a non-tradable.
Summers concludes the memorandum with a neo-liberal call for more deregulation and less moral and social concerns. "The problem with the arguments against all of these proposals for more pollution in LDCs (intrinsic rights to certain goods, moral reasons, social concerns, lack of adequate markets, etc.)", he sternly warns "is that it could be turned around and used more or less effectively against every Bank proposal for liberalization."
After the memo became public,
No Roots in Adam Smith or the New Deal
Adam Smith's vision of the production of "the wealth of nations" by the free market did not envisage despoiling nations by exporting toxic wastes to Africa to save the polluters from cleaning up their act.
When the God of "the Invisible Hand" was briefly annunciated by Smith, he was clear that his idea of trade was not in financial derivatives or rights to pollute, but in "tangible goods useful to mankind". For bankers and money sequencers, however, the real economy does not compute. They erase the productive economy and Smith's proviso of "tangible goods" from the mind. As Geithner has shown, the biggest points are scored not for doing anything economic with public money, but by demanding bail-outs for Wall Street before anyone else and letting sinking homeowners, the escalating unemployed and the real economy go to hell.
This was not how the New Deal worked. It ploughed all the money into public works and productive employment – with one program the Works Progress Administration (WPA) becoming the largest and most good-productive employer in the nation. It also started old-age and unemployment insurance, and loans to local authorities for slum clearance.
Most all of this needs to be done or improved today, and much deeper at the same time – principally, conversion away from fossil fuels and basic re-tooling of manufacture towards ecologically coherent industry. The eco-energy rescue of the economy is a marriage made in heaven, but is likely the furthest from the minds of the bankers and the new Treasury Secretary appointed by Obama.
Presidential Brand Change for More of the Same
Do you begin to wonder whether this has been just a PR campaign for a presidential brand change to keep the same empire of money, waste and war? Observe that the financial group remains completely in charge even as they have levered
The longterm results of such thinking have proven to be catastrophic. The cancer era of the global market has increasingly stripped the earth of its species and resources, impoverished the middle class and the poor, siphoned off all the surplus wealth for reinvestment to decoupled money multiplication, and broken the wheels of the productive economy.
Yet all the proofs of failure have been discounted as "externalities" – that is, until global collapse on every level of economy and life organization can no longer be fast-talked away. Or can it?
The Deep Fault-Line of the Ruling Economic Rationality
The Obama administration won on the platform of "Change We Need", but now positions his financial and economic policy for more of the same thinking. Summers the teacher has left quite a legacy to his trainee at the Treasury. For Summers, market money-sequencing is the sole source of salvation – this is the deep reason he got in trouble at Harvard for saying women are not good at its mathematics decoupled from the real world. In a lecture at the
We may formalize the sacred first premises of neo-liberalism as follows: More Money-Value Exchanges = More Market Growth = More Basic Values for All. No substantiation of ultimate goodness is deemed necessary for the theism of money sequencing. Yet the contra-indicative evidence on the ground is overwhelming. The ecological goods and resources on which every life depends are the most basic values possible, but they have been despoiled at every level with ever more money-rated growth. Growth of money exchanges – which is all that "market growth" means in fact – turns basic values into waste across the world.
If we consider the most basic of values – fresh air to breathe and hear through, stable climate and hydrological cycles, and life spaces to live securely within – growth of the money-sequence economy has, in fact, operated as a global carcinogenic invasion, with "financialization"leading the way. Perpetually turning leveraged money into more money for private money possessors with no life good produced is in principle the logic of cumulative collapse of life support systems and credit itself. Yet, it is hard to believe, the private money sequences and their bank hosts are fed endless billions of public wealth to keep their privately leveraged monopoly of credit going in defiance of the public interest, all backed by future tax money.
Obama's First Crisis: Forgetting the Past
How could an Obama administration declaring "change we need" give back the US Treasury and
Consider, in contrast, Joseph Stiglitz, the former World Bank Chief Economist and Chairman of the President's Economic Advisory Committee, who has learned and written a lot about the money-mind diseconomy pushed by the IMF, and won the Nobel Prize in Economics as a result. Yet he is a non-person to the Obama team and the corporate media.
In a word, Obama has handed the ball of the crashing economy to more neo-liberals whose ilk have brought the crash in the first place. The greatest moments in America's history which might have instructed him have been forgotten – the 1776 Revolution itself which Benjamin Franklin said was most of all to wrest back control over money issue from the private Bank of England; Abraham Lincoln's issue of "greenbacks" to go over the head of the New York bankers' demand of 17% compound interest to fund the war for the Union; and most relevant of all, fellow Democrat, FDR, and his historic New Deal which put the people back to work in rebuilding the real economy that was needed. Never before, not even the Depression, has such an economic turn been demanded to resolve the coinciding energy, environmental, employment and money-value crises at once. But the captain at the wheel is keeping the group who have set the ship towards the reefs in charge.
Selling the Goods
As always in the collapsed system, the truth is what sells. As with other commodities, a magical force metamorphizes believers into a higher existence with nothing in fact changed. The proof of goodness is that people buy the message. But if the people buy the money-cancer rescue, a bail-out banker to lead Treasury, and Summers' voodoo economics at the same time,

Just read a note on MLBTR about the remaining DH crop and it is still very intriguing. Any one of Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome or Vlad Guerrero would be a welcome addition to the Jays lineup in my opinion. And to a lesser degree I wouldn't mind seeing Damon, Branyan or Glaus here to.
I think AA realized back in October when the Manny Ramirez to Toronto rumours were flying around that there wasn't a huge market for aging DH's that can't play in the field so waiting out the market has probably brought the asking prices lower and they may continue to drop the closer to Spring Training we get. It would have been nice to add a bit bat with some defensive value but the Jays had options to who they could add and moving Bautista to 3B, Lind/EE to 1B and Davis, Snider, Wells in the OF isn't that bad if Manny, Thome or Vlad occupy the everyday DH spot on an incentive laden 1 year deal.
Personally, I like Vlad, Manny and Thome in that order for the Jays, what does everyone think? Will AA add a big bat before Spring Training? If so who?

Dwaun Anderson Will Not Enroll at MSU this Fall
Rexrode has the story: Still dealing with the recent loss of his mother, Dwaun Anderson has decided to postpone his enrollment as MSU. There's no definitive word yet on when or if Dwaun will join the MSU basketball team. Obviously, everyone in the MSU family is supporting him and giving him time to deal with these important issues in Dwaun's own time.

Cerep offers a range of over 175 assays (including 22 new assays)
for rapid evaluation of the pharmaceutical properties and safety of drug discovery compounds:
Solution properties
Cerep has developed methods for the accurate and rapid assessment of the solubility, lipophilicity, ionization constant, chemical
stability, protein binding and blood partitioning characteristics of chemical compounds.
In vitro drug absorption/ drug transport
Cerep has developed an efficient test to assess the intestinal permeability of compounds in both the absorptive and the secretory directions.
The TC7 sub-clone of the Caco-2 cell line originally derived from the human intestine is used in this in vitro absorption model. Also available
are Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCKII) and MDCKII cells expressing the human MDRI gene (MDRI-MDCKII). Data obtained from the permeability
tests can be used to:
Predict drug absorption in human
Identify potential substrates and/or inhibitors of efflux systems such as P-glycoprotein
In vitro drug metabolism
There is a significant advantage to obtaining metabolism data as early as possible in the drug discovery process. Hepatic metabolism is a primary
determinant of pharmacokinetic behavior, and rapid first-pass metabolism is a major cause of low bioavailability. At Cerep, a variety of assay
matrices including pooled liver microsomes, pooled liver S9 fraction, hepatocytes, human recombinant cytochrome P450s, UGTs, blood, and plasma
are used for the metabolic assessment of hits, leads, and new pharmaceutical compounds. The results of the metabolism studies are useful in:
Determining the initial rate at which compounds are metabolized
Investigating the major pathways of drug metabolism
Identifying probable metabolites
Predicting in vivo pharmacokinetic properties
Investigating the potential for drug-drug interactions
In vivo PK/BBB - Bioanalytical support
Obtaining early stage pharmacokinetic data in the evaluation of new chemical entities is a prerequisite for successful animal pharmacology and
toxicology studies. Cerep has developed pharmacokinetic assays in rats and mice. In addition, Cerep has also developed in vivo blood-brain barrier
assays in rats and mice to evaluate the brain penetration of compounds.
Cerep has developed three distinct assays recovery, linearity, quantitative bioanalysis to support in vivo pharmacokinetic studies. These assays
are designed to ensure that reliable and useful data are ultimately obtained. In each case state-of-the-art HPLC-MS/MS instrumentation and optimized
analytical methods allow for detection of picogram quantities of analyte in a biological matrix.
Drug-drug interactions
It is not uncommon that a patient may be taking several drugs, simultaneously, for the treatment of one or more health related issues. A drug may
affect or be affected by other co-administered drugs. Metabolism-based drug-drug interactions occur when a drug inhibits or induces the activity
of a drug metabolizing enzyme, which catalyzes the metabolism of a concomitant drug. Metabolism-based drug-drug interactions (DDI) are one of the
major factors that cause drug failures during drug development. Early stage screening of compounds for potential drug-drug interactions using in
vitro techniques becomes necessary in order to decrease late stage compound attrition.
Cerep offers a range of assays to determine the metabolism of compounds and their potential for drug-drug interactions.
High-throughput cocktail CYP inhibition
CYP inhibition- recombinant CYPs or liver microsomes
Time-dependent CYP inhibition
CYP induction
In order to be able to assess the potential toxicity of compounds as early as possible, Cerep has developed a set of in vitro tests which address:
Cardiac toxicity
In vitro toxicity
Genetic toxicity
Many assays are suitable for evaluating the ADME-Tox properties of compounds early in the drug discovery process while others are designed
with the intent to meet regulatory requirements making them suitable for later stage development.

Lab Certificates and Grading ReportsA lab certificate or grading report documents information about an unmounted gemstone. Grading reports differ for diamonds and colored gems, but documentation for each type includes specifics about carat weight and dimensions, color and clarity grades, and items relating to the gemstone's cut and shape.
Think of a grading report as kind of a road-map of the gemstone -- the map will not change unless the gem undergoes alterations or an error was made during evaluation.
Jewelry AppraisalsA jewelry appraisal can be ordered for any item of jewelry, no matter what its composition. Gemstones can be either mounted or unmounted -- the jewelry being appraised needn't contain gemstones.
Jewelry appraisals put a dollar value on the jewelry being appraised, and are often performed for insurance purposes. An appraisal might also be necessary to settle an estate or a to divide property during divorce. Or you might just want to verify an item's true market value before you commit to a purchase.
Market values change, so most professionals recommend you have fine jewelry appraised every two years. Ask your insurance agent for a recommendation. If you use the same appraiser, it is often possible to receive an update, which is usually less costly than a brand new appraisal.

Genomes and Genes
Role of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinases in Glucose Homeostasis
Principal Investigator: Xiaocheng Dong
Affiliation: Harvard University
Country: USA
Abstract: Hyperglycemia is one of the hallmarks of diabetes. Understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for the elevated blood glucose is crucial for the prevention and cure of this rapidly rising disease. This investigator is currently using mouse genetic approaches to elucidate regulatory mechanisms controlling hepatic glucose homeostasis. Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 1 and 2 mediate most of the insulin action in the liver. Mice that are deficient of both IRS1 and IRS2 in the hepatocytes (LDKO) develop severe diabetes with hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Intriguingly, expression of well known gluconeogenic genes including phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pepck) and glucose-6 phosphatase (G6Pase) is not altered in the LDKO liver. In contrast, expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) is dramatically increased in the liver of these mice. PDK4 is important because it regulates the critical substrate (pyruvate) supply for gluconeogenesis. Substrate availability is the most important driving force for gluconeogenesis. For the short-term goal in the mentored phase, this investigator will investigate whether suppression of hepatic PDK4 expression by adenovirus-mediated siRNA can attenuate the gluconeogenesis and improve hyperglycemia in diabetic animal models. Meanwhile, mechanisms responsible for the PDK4 induced hyperglycemia will also be investigated. For the long-term goal in the independent phase and beyond, how PDK4 is regulated by hormonal and nutritional signals will be mechanistically studied. Specifically, nutrients such as pyruvate, the primary substrate for gluconeogenesis, will be investigated for its potential role in the regulation of PDK4 gene. SIRT1, a candidate for metabolic sensor, will be explored for its function in the nutrient-regulated PDK4 expression. Furthermore, the mechanisms responsible for the PDK4 dysregulation in diabetes will be elucidated using animal models, particularly Foxo1 (A Forkhead transcription factor) mediated regulation. Understanding how PDK4 contributes to hepatic nutrient homeostasis can reveal novel target for the treatment of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The overall goal of the proposed project will be accomplished in the following three specific aims: 1. Role of PDK4 in gluconeogenesis in the IRS1 and IRS2 dual liver-specific knockout mice. 2. Nutrient sensing in the regulation of PDK4 expression. 3. Role of Foxo1 in the regulation of PDK4 and hepatic glucose homeostasis.

Ive read lots of valued opinions on what the Raiders should do with there picks in this years draft. Should Star anchor the line for the future or is Manti going to be the leader of the team for the future. I would love either guy. You really cant miss with either one of these guys thats the truth. My pick would be Manti Teo. This guy plays with pride. Theres really no combine in the world that can measure leadership. Some people are followers and some are leaders. The truth is there are more followers than leaders. So when your reading this ask yourself what are you. My theory is that most leaders would pick Manti. I dont feel the Raiders pass on Manti Teo. Leaders Recognize Leaders!
What happens if and when they trade down. Well to me we should go after a guy like Dion Jordan. Lots of upside at just under 6'7 and 243 this kid can play in a 3-4 or 4-3. Ive seen him put his hand in the ground and stand up. Either way he can play the run and he can get after the quarterback with 3 steps. Dion Jordan has a long first step along with long arms. Hes long stride quick hands and punch makes him a very good pass rusher. This kid plays on every down with heart and has a nose for the ball. Hes smart and plays with a chip. At times you see hes closing speed to quarterbacks and running backs is freakish. They call this kid The Freak, I really cant wait to see what this kid can do at the combine. This is one guy thats stock is going to rise after the combine.
So if we get into the second round I know we cant pass on one guy here. Chase Thomas is one of those guys that plays with lots of heart and loves football. Hes alot like Miles Burris maybe even better. All year I kept saying we need another guy like Burris. Burris was a stud for us at 6'2 240 and Chase is 6'4 248. Chase is that player you want on your team for years to come. He can pass rush, play the run and cover. You want to talk about an impact player in big games. Check out the move he does at the :24 mark. Chase shows up to the dance and brings his A game. When Coaches talk about I wish I had 11 players with heart, this is one of those guys. To define Chase hes Relentless.
Margus Hunt is a big guy at 6'8 280. He needs work but when he plays his game he is a bully. Hes one guy that the offensive line has to double team. This guy is a gem and we cant pass him up in the 3rd round. I know lots of people want the honey badger. Yes hes a good player but I just dont think you pass on a guy like Margus Hunt. I dont care that Tyrann Mathieu is a smurf. That doesnt bother me. Maybe we get both but with two 3rd round picks. I just feel Margus is just too mean and nasty and every team needs one of these guys. The man is a beast. He needs work but in two years you can see him improve dramatically.
So what about the Honey Badger. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Hes plays with a chip. It doesnt matter how big a guy is, its how big he plays in games. Tyrann Mathieu is only 5'9 180 but hes a gamer. The reason I love this guy so much even more is that he did what he did and did everything he could to start hes life over. Hes clean now and im sure he knows himself better today then he did then. Imagine if he gave up on himself. We might be talking about how good he was, he could of been a great one. Hes the xfactor in games. The kid can play. Tyrann has one love and hes love is football. I would love to draft this kid. The fact is we all need a chance and this is hes.
The blood line of the Raiders.Kyle Long. He may not be great now but he will be. At 6'7 312 Kyle should be playing right away. Stick him in at left guard with Valder-Long-Wiz and look to draft next year on the right side of the line. We could see him grow up fast in two years. Sundays is where this kid belongs. I love the fact that we have Wiz now and having Kyle is just that much better. Now if we could only get his brother with us. Wouldnt that be great.
Daniel McCullers is a monster. 6'8 360 and I really dont need to say much but if he falls down past the 4th into the 5th this kid is a steal. Even in the forth he would be a steal. This kid has so much upside. He plays hard on every down. I think this kid falls right to us. We need a big man like this smashing the offense for years to come.
A Multiple Hybred Defence is key to the future. The draft has lots of gems. The truth is that the Raiders are not going to the superbowl next year. I want to win now just like every fan. But its just not going to happen now unfortunately. We have lots of young players now and this year will be the same. Investing into the future with multiple picks is a good thing. This year you can find the gems in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th round. I know theres lots of great good and maybe better players. I feel these guys can help the Raiders with the future. The fact is the game is changing and these are some guys i feel that have Heart, the Desire to be great and are real football players. Guys that want to win. I feel they have Pride as men and to wear the SILVER & BLACK they will be the Great Men of the Raiders for the future!
Please comment and tell me what you think and what direction the Raiders should be going in in the draft. Tell me what you would do in this draft and why you feel those guys should be Raiders.
