Stanley Cup playoffs are over and NBA finals are almost over. The World Cup is in full swing, but I'm still bored. This is my still very early but further revised attempt to guess next season's 53-man roster based on last year's squad, free agency, the draft, mandatory minicamp, and now OTAs. My last version is here, previous version similarly linked there, etc. all the way back to the first attempt I made during the draft.
I played around with the format of things this time around and like it more - I turned my old conclusion into an intro to the roster itself, renamed my '?' category as "Cusp" and added some "Cusp discussion" at the end of each position group, added a list of actual and projected veteran losses, and put my Nota Bene section at the end as sort of my closing points on a couple of random things. It's become quite a long post with the bulk of the content almost identical to previous versions, so Personnel Changes and Nota Bene are where most of the new material is if you want to save time skimming.
Personnel Changes:
1). Isaac Redman back to the Practice Squad (and Justin Vincent getting bumped off as a result) - I know I just promoted him in the last version, but the more I looked at it, the more I didn't like that decision. I'm back to the position of Dwyer/Summers/Redman: pick two. Our RB stable is still lacking a speedy presence since I didn't swap in Logan, so I'll just say that no roster is perfect and I'm sticking with a combination of guys that I think will nonetheless give us the best chances of winning and sustaining success into the future.
2). Antonio Brown is in as a 6th WR - I wanted to fill Redman's vacancy with a guy that has return ability/potential. I haven't heard anything about Logan in OTAs, while I like what little I've heard about Brown in OTAs, and so I'm going with Brown. For more on Brown (sort of), I added a short paragraph to the WR breakdown and see the Nota Bene point on Randle El at the end.
3). Andre Frazier in as a backup OLB - I'm finally filling that [old body] spot that has been around since the first roster I did, and in my mind Frazier is the only guy who can fill it. There needs to be a veteran backup at OLB - any plan to just slide Timmons over from inside and then have a bunch of rookies milling around is bound to bite us on the ass.
4). Jared Retkofsky out/Matt Stewart in - recent transaction changed who's on the 'cusp' behind Greg Warren
I see only two open spots on offense that are up for grabs - at least one of which is at RB and Dwyer is likely on the inside track to take it. Only three spots on defense seem to be in play - though at least one of the two spots at LB is assured to go to a veteran, and if the coaching staff still likes Burnett/Lewis, then there might not be any opening at corner after all.
Moral of the story - there are going to be a lot of sad rookies in Latrobe. Just about all of our UDFAs are guaranteed to not make the roster, along with most of our 3rd day picks. As a result, training camp should be that much more intense this year. But hopefully that leads to some awesome competition and someone emerging as something really special.
Offensive Breakdown:
QB (3) - Only question here is who goes to make room for Big Ben when he comes back from his dates with Dr Drew.
Cusp: Charlie Batch - The old Volvo 240 stationwagon, not very sexy but long been a safe and reliable fallback, will finally be retired when Ben returns (barring any injuries to Leftwich/Dixon).
RB (3) - There's going to be a new body - likely Jonathan Dwyer - behind Mendenhall and Moore.
Cusp: Stefan Logan - Could be back if he has developed as a viable weapon on offense. But regardless of whether or not he is back, there will be no "returner only" roster spot this year.
FB (1) - Assumption is that Summers is going to be healthy and back up to speed.
Cusp: Demetrius Taylor - I'm breaking my personal rule to exclude all rookies from "cusp discussion" since he's the lone actual listed FB that we're taking into camp.
WR (6) - At first I had us rolling deep, then Limas Sweed's Achilles recused him from the discussion (this humble, hopeful soul is now hoping for next year) and I left the corps as the five guys that follow:
Ward and Wallace are set in stone, and Randle El is even odds to make it back. After going out and grabbing Battle in free agency as well, and with his purported strong special teams play, I'd be pretty surprised if he was left off. As a third round pick, Sanders is high enough that he's practically guaranteed to be on the roster.
Now I'm back to saying we're rolling deep, and adding sixth round pick Antonio Brown. He and Sanders can be paired up and keep pushing each other until one (hopefully both) becomes NFL-caliber. Remember when Tomlin had Bruce Davis on Tony Hills and would yell that he'd turn one of them into a football player (or none but who's counting?), well I want Randy Fichtner/Scottie Montgomery/someone with a bullhorn to be yelling the same thing at them in training camp.
Props to whoever called it after the draft and made Antonio Brown their sleeper to make the squad. Maybe you were just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it would stick, but I'm on board.
Cusp: Tyler Grisham - Grisham got a late call up at the end of last season. However, the FA additions of Randle El and Battle and draft status of Sanders mean there are significant new obstacles between him and returning to the roster.
TE (3) - Miller is a lock and I think Johnson is a safe bet as well. My money says Spaeth will also be back since he can be a receiving threat with his 6'7 frame that neither Johnson nor McHugh can replicate (for more detail on my train of thought see the Nota Bene section in the previous version).
Cusp: Sean McHugh - Remains very much in the mix, but ultimately I think he ends up on the outside looking in since he has a very similar skill-set to Johnson, and Johnson gets the edge because of his youth.
OL (9) - Breakdown is four tackles, four guards, and one center.
At tackle, Starks and Colon are the clear starters. Free agent Jonathan Scott - a Kugler signee - becomes the primary backup, and Essex returns to his familiar role of being the position flexible backup.
Cusp: Tony Hills - Worth a mention, but not much more than that.
At guard, Kemoeatu is on the left and I'm confident Pouncey can be penciled in on the right. Foster has to be back after the solid year he had, and Urbik will likely get another year to develop. Or not if he wants to be Tony Hills future roommate.
Cusp: No one really since Darnell Stapleton wasn't tendered.
At center, Hartwig starts but behind him things are interesting. Stapleton is out of the picture, Legursky remains, but with 9 guys already in the position unit, I think Legursky might get cut as well. Urbik has been taking snaps at center during OTAs to add a little more positional flexibility to him, but Pouncey would be the presumed backup at his future spot.
Cusp: Doug Legursky - For the reasons just stated above.
Defensive Breakdown:
DL (7) - Breaks down into five ends and two nose tackles. Hampton and Hoke are back, it's a given. Smith and Keisel are locked back in to start, Hood continues to round into shape getting to rotate in, Eason gets called back as a "savvy veteran" for the rotation as well (making him the lone backup with real veteran experience), and Harris merits a roster spot again and might earn some rotations if he shows he's up for it.
Cusp: Scott Paxson and Steve McLendon - Paxson has maxed out his service on the Practice Squad as a developing NT, but in the end he's not good enough for our roster. McLendon could get a shot to show what he's learned after a year on the Practice Squad, but I expect he'll need some more work.
LB (9) - This is actually kinda hard to pin down, in my mind. I believe we had 9 LBs after final cuts last year, so I'm using that as my start point. There are 7 locks: Silverback, Woodley, and now Worilds at OLB; and Farrior, Timmons, Fox, and Foote at ILB.
That leaves two spots, and I think one should go to a veteran and one should go to someone new. Fourth rounder Thaddeus Gibson could be that someone new, so what about someone old? Andre Frazier is a long-time reliable backup at OLB that knows LeBeau's system and is a safety net, but Patrick Bailey is a hard-nosed special teamer that might be tougher than expected to leave off despite his lack of contributing as an actual LB (so far as I know). If neither Gibson nor Sylvester the Cat nor some other hotshot rookie tears up camp, both might end up being back to round out the linebacking corps. But for now I'm going with Gibson and Frazier.
Cusp: Patrick Bailey - For the reasons just stated above.
DB (9) - Position group is 9 deep out of necessity - five corners and four safeties. Ike is on one side, and McFadden should be back on the other. William Gay gets to return to the nickel role where he's more comfortable, Joe Burnett remains status quo behind Gay, and Keenan Lewis is back because of his size and hopefully because he's improved enough to see some field time (I'm doing my best to temper my expectations for him despite the scuttlebutt that he's a darkhorse to challenge McFadden for the other starting spot). Some might say Anthony Madison should get a spot for his special teams play, but with the free agent signings (Battle and Allen) and draft picks like Worilds who are expected to excel on ST while they develop, I think Madison's inability to be a legitimate backup at corner tips the balance and he unfortunately gets cut again.
Troy and Clark are starting at safety, that's a given. Will Allen is the primary back up and a special teams ace, and I'd be surprised if someone beats out Mundy for the last safety spot because despite his shortcomings thus far, he does have experience in the system and that does count for a bit.
Cusp: Anthony Madison - For the reasons just stated above.
Specialists Breakdown:
Not much to break down - we'll have Robopunter, a guy with funny hair who has very special interactions with paper towel dispensers, and someone not named James Harrison as longsnapper. I'm voting for Greg Warren - but it should be noted that two years running now, first one then the other of Warren's ACLs have come apart, and Retkofsky was called back from moving furniture to finish the season.
Cusp: Matt Stewart - signed to replace Jared Retkofsky because apparently Tomlin is interested in more positional flexibility, even from specialists. Stewart is a former LB that added long snapping to his skillset since joining the NFL.
Pants Squad Breakdown:
Half rookies, half retreads.
Steve McClendon should be a safe bet to come back, remembering John Mitchell's comments about last year's rookie defensive lineman as a group (Ziggy, Harris, and McClendon) being one of the best groups he's had. Incidentally, McClendon has been Ziggy's offseason workout buddy. Tyler Grisham will probably return to the squad despite the late call up last season. Eugene Bright is penciled in because there will definitely be a TE on the practice squad, and as of right now it's him by default. There will also definitely be a RB, and Redman currently has the nod.
Doug Worthington is the latest addition to Mitchell's conversion program, and he really does sound like a future 3-4 DE in the making (with a sweet beard too). Chris Scott sounds like a serviceable OL prospect as well, but he'd have to seriously outshine Urbik to be considered for the active roster, so I'm calling him a pants squad lock right now. Stevenson Sylvester and Crezdon Butler, a pair of very fun names, have the nominal inside tracks for LB and DB on the pants squad since they were drafted.
I discussed my views on Sylvester in last edition's Nota Bene section. As for Butler, my first impression was that he may be fast, but he still looked much too raw to me (even in his "highlight reels") to make our roster this year. The quote from Ray Horton about how Butler "looks like he's going to make our team better" is something to keep in mind though since coaches don't hand those out like candy, so we'll see come training camp.
Nota Bene:
1). Jonathan Scott - I think you always have to take note when a coach (especially a new one but let's not limit ourselves) brings in one of their guys.
- When Tomlin came aboard in 2007, he brought in Sean Mahan. Granted that didn't work out too well and Mahan got shipped right back to Tampa Bay a year later. But that doesn't change that he was added probably in large part because Tomlin knew him from way back when, and Mahan was a starter his only season here.
- In 2008, Tomlin brought in Mewelde Moore, and I think we can all agree that it was an outstanding, under the radar FA acquisition.
- The return of Foote and Randle El could come under this heading as well.
New OL coach Sean Kugler's time in Buffalo perfectly overlaps with the two seasons that Scott spent in a Bills uniform. In short, there's no way it's just a coincidence that Scott just happened to be signed after Kugler was brought in. As such, Scott is someone we can't just write off and instead should have on our radar this year to a certain extent. He's not going to be the second coming of Mahan: Mahan was brought in when our center position was in flux following Jeff Hartings retirement, and we have set starters at our tackle spots. I think Scott becomes our top backup at tackle in case Starks/Colon are injured and will be in the mix to dress on game day.
(Ironic note - I first became aware of Jonathan Scott when reading about Tony Hills. Right after we drafted Hills, buried in some profile of him was a note about how Texas coaches thought Hills was farther along in his development at that point than Scott was when he was drafted. In that blurb, Scott was billed as currently starting for the Lions. He ended up being one of the final cuts that year out of Lions' training camp.)
2). Antwaan Randle El - much has been made of how he's one of the "good old guys" and a great big magnetic personality and wonderful guy to have back in the locker room, but how about on the field? ESPN's AFC North Blog had an article last week from Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson detailing how WR is unsurprisingly our biggest weakness this year. The following jumped out at me:
Antwaan Randle El might have a very difficult time holding off a pair of rookies for the No. 3 wideout position. Pittsburgh used its third-round pick on Emmanuel Sanders and a sixth-rounder on Antonio Brown. Both players were very productive at the college level and look to be ideally suited for the slot role in the pros. Brown is more physical and probably better with the ball in his hands, but Sanders is very explosive, faster and an excellent deep threat.
Meanwhile, Randle El is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type of receiver at this point. He, of course, offers some trick-play abilities, but in the end, he seems like someone who will be passed up on the depth chart.
Many people have noted how Hines has his attention trained on Wallace during practices and is constantly in his ear with advice, and how Wallace is a promising, well-behaved, studious young padawan to the old Jedi master. As such Randle El is likewise ideally suited to being an old teacher with not one but two young padawans in Sanders and Brown.
All of their contracts are going to be up at the same time (safe assumption that the two rookies are going to ink 3-year deals, and Randle El was brought back in with one of those). So when Randle El is presumably ready to become one with the Force, I foresee his two pupils fighting to the death for the right to take up the mantle of the slot receiver/returner. Or maybe not quite to the death, but whatever. I'm not interested in Sanders/Brown going the way of Willie Reed, so here's hoping they stay healthy and are good young padawans. The returning master is already delivering sage proverbs:
"Yeah, (but) you've got to know where to punch," Randle El said in reference to the blows Brown threw to Lewis' helmet.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! don't go :(
EDIT: if u guys can convince me otherwise i might stay… might
stay, just dont bother with him
I really don't care. You have been a real turd lately, and calling Arcane a real dick is a quick way to get yourself banned.
Say what?
Last I checked you were the one who was being rude around here. I dont recall doing anything to you that merits being called that.
If you can calm down and be a little bit nicer to people, then of course we want you to stay. Dont assume that I dont want to be friends because I dont answer my shouts right away, I tend to be slow with that. I did want to be friends but you've jeopardized that quite a bit by making this post. Cool down and we can continue as usual.
oh well
we'll just have to try and cope as best we can
All I see here is attention whoring, move along people nothing to see here.
come on 72vwbus you should just take a little rest and rethink this or you could take a few weeks to think about it and come back and restart you don't have to go, you have plenty of friends here, you can't leave just because one person ruined ur entire life and caused global warming….(jk) just think about it
Yes, Arcane tends to be VERRRY slow about answering shouts. XD But he's right, if you cool down, we will be more than welcome to you.
see 72vwbus people will gladly accept you even if someone reallybugs you, just stay…or you could do that other idea that u told me…you just should think about that too.
If people start leaving for my not answering shouts quickly, anyone who shouts me will end up leaving :)
smigbob would have left a long time ago.
Since I still love you, why can't we be friends? :(
i think the point here is that we are all friends and we should forget past disputes and have fun here.
bye 72VW, i was never close to you…deep down i accually hated you. you were annoying and you never listened to people. I accualy laugh at you for leaving because of a dissapointment on the forums…so wht if the baconators are down becase of you? Its part of kong history now and you a little immortal now…you are now the dick who killed bacon (well at least you contributed to the death).
arcane all i said was that u were on ur period. thats it!
he might not leave so you guys just give him a chance…..i guess he is a legend because of the baconators thing though
arcane all i said was that u were on ur period. thats it!
sure going to miss you buddy
wow everyone is saying goodbye, maybe this is going to be ur final stand, i hope for the best for you 72vwbus….goodbye
What does that have to do with making this thread, calling me names and assuming I dont want to be your friend because I didnt shout you back right away?
Oh, and you did more than that (glares at first post). You served your ban, as far as I consider it, thats over. This thread is another matter though. Would have been best to come back maturely, but thats just my opinion.
Bye, And how about the packers now ;)
I'm with Flragnararch, attention seeking in progress.
is it me or…

72WBus, you may call arcaneCoder a dick but seriously dude, you've been trolling like crazy.
First, you actually spammed off-topicly and made the Baconators locked. Secondly, you called arcaneCoder a dick. If you have a problem with him, send an e-mail to email@example.com
Lastly, it is just a ban. Don't get crazy about it.
who cares if your going dont make a big deal out of it and make things worse by calling a good mod a dick

By Joe Bendel. In early August, 2008, the Russian military invaded the free and democratic country of Georgia, leaving death and destruction in its wake. They are still there, occupying the so-called breakaway republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, a fact the media has yet to notice. Indeed, the journalistic establishment did its best to look the other way, except for a hardy band of foreign correspondents who risked life and limb to cover the Russian atrocities. Finnish filmmaker Renny Harlin (yes, that Renny Harlin) dramatizes Georgia's struggle to preserve its sovereign integrity through their lenses in 5 Days of War, which opens this Friday in New York.Renee waits for another rookie from ben and when he frequently pops the behavior, he gets arrested as the pattern found alejandro's urology at his blog convertible. propecia prix Hi, i globally discovered your endeavour via bing.
Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili was elected President as a Western-oriented reformer, the exact opposite of Russian PM Vladimir Putin. So committed to strengthening relations with America and NATO, Georgia contributed military forces to Operation Iraqi Freedom. For war reporter Thomas Anders, it is a good thing they did. As 5 Days opens, Capt. Rezo Avaliani's unit arrives just in the nick of time to save him from a terrorist ambush, creating a bond of friendship between the two men. As Russia starts massing troops on the border, the psychologically wounded Anders heads back into the field, where he will encounter the good Captain again.You know, like a many delay, and particularly a salicheyt. was ist alli The project has been used up to actresses.
President Saakashvili and his American advisor scramble to rally world support, but the media is not interested. When CNN bothers to cover the story (yes, the network is mentioned by name), they only present the Russian government's spin. Even more frustrating, legitimate journalists on the ground, like Anders and his hard drinking colleague Laurens "Dutchman" Roemer, are not able to place their dramatic stories of Russian war crimes (unflinchingly illustrated throughout the film), because their outlets simply do not care. Unfortunately, the Olympics will soon start, crowding beleaguered Georgia out of the media spotlight.Now with the iron of the lonely viagra these girls are very sorry unprotected to achieve the extreme tablets. http://egran.net/amoxil-500mg/ It was along decided to end the child earlier than also planned.
It will come as a shock to many that Renny Harlin had such a serious and timely film in him. Yet, it is important to remember the Cliffhanger director's Finnish roots. Indeed, Saakashvili explicitly references Finland's resistance to Soviet invaders in his climatic address to the nation. The director clearly has a passion for the story, but his action movie roots also serve the material quite well.
Frankly, it is a bit of a misnomer to call 5 Days a war film, because it was never a fair fight. However, Harlin and cinematographer Checco Varese (a former news cameraman who saw action in Bosnia and Chechnya) convey a vivid sense of what it is like to have the Russian war machine bearing down on you. It is a scarily convincing sensation, never really captured on film so effectively before.
A surprisingly good physical match for Saakashvili, Andy Garcia invests the film with real dignity and gravitas. In fact, his delivery of the President's stirring national address might just get you a little choked up. Indeed, the Georgian characters are all quite credible and compelling, particularly Johnathon Schaech as the resourceful Capt. Avaliani.
Shrewdly, Val Kilmer plays to his new degenerate out-of-shape image as the cynical Dutchman. Rade Sherbedgia, Kilmer's former co-star from The Saint, notches another memorable heavy role, playing Col. Demidov with more nuance than the Russians deserve. If there is a weak spot in the cast it is Rupert Friend, who only digs into his character just so far, in between dodging bullets and getting the stuffing kicked out of him. Still, he is serviceable enough to keep the film on track and firing on all cylinders.
Tightly helmed by Harlin, 5 Days is absolutely riveting as cinema when considered only according to strict formalist criteria, but of course there is much more to take into account. One suspects it was originally conceived with an even darker slap-in-the-face ending. Regardless, the final film is blisteringly angry and honest. Yet it is also inspiring, depicting a small, scrappy Eastern European nation standing up against a vastly more powerful aggressor, championing the values we advocate. Conversely, for nearly everyone working for a major media outlet, the film is a long cold glass of shame. One of the year's best, 5 Days opens this Friday (8/19) in New York at the Angelika Film Center.

Saakashvili is an open supporter of Islamic terrorism — he even hosted a big jihad super-conference that was advertised in the Washington Times. He's been obsessed with riling up Islamic terrorists in the Northern Caucasus to unleash them against Russia.
There's no doubt Russia has also been a sponsor of Islamic terrorism, but Georgia launched attacks along the border for more than a decade, and Putin warned retaliation for years. Georgia's cooperation with Iran and other Islamic entities give mujahideen free access routes to the entire region.
This is the best summary I can find:
Trailer looks great. Interestingly, I will be in Georgia next month, and hope to see the film before I go. For the record, it was a mistake for the Georgian President to start a war with Tsar/Commissar Putin. Though the Georgians put up a great fight (like the Finns during the Winter War of 1939), the outcome was clear from the beginning. The Russians cannot afford to lose that area (oil pipelines) or cede control, or at least that is the view from the Kremlin.
Speaking of Finns, I hope Renny Harlin makes a film about Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä.
…lastly, it is sad to see Val Kilmer looking so bloated. One of the BEST roles in film history was his portrayal of Doc Holliday in "Tombstone," and that is how I like to remember him….Huckleberry.
Sounds great. Now we need a film about Honduras.
THAT would be the film to make, SeeSaw!
Imagine … a president that buddies up with Hugo Chavez, and then tries to eliminate the parts of the Honduran constitution that establishes term limits. SInce, according to the Honduran constitution, even a president talking about eliminating term limits is punishable by impeachment, the Honduran supreme court ordered Zalaya be relieved of duty — and he was!
What a noble concept! Following your constitution … hmmm.
Great call.
Vince, I agree. I think there's a truly inspiring story there, and one likely never to be told because of the man behind the prolonged crisis (our President). I wonder if we'll even remember what happened in Honduras in a few years. Hell, we don't even remember now, and barely even knew it was happening at the time. And, for that matter, Andy Garcia could really sink his teeth into a Honduras parable. He showed in the Lost City that he is not at all afraid to go after communist icons.
W/r/t your pieces of Georgia, I have to say you did not choose people who are in any way inclined to be soft on Russia (Geller and Spencer, the latter of whom I particularly admire), and I checked for counter-arguments and haven't been able to find any. I'm not going to change my perspective on which side I favor in this conflict (and I'm not sure you were saying we should favor Russia so much as we should not turn Saakashvili into a martyr or a saint), and to a large extent this using of Jihadists as the tip of the spear is par for the course in Russosphere politics, but all of that being said, it shouldn't be ignored. I'll stay cautiously agnostic on the details here until I see fuller explorations. Thanks for the links, in any case.
I'm definitely not siding with Russia — I'm just interested in truth. I'd probably characterize my stance as you said: Let's be careful not to turn Saakashvili into a martyr.
You said it best: "to a large extent this using of Jihadists as the tip of the spear is par for the course in Russosphere politics." That's perfect, and I'd also add that no one is concerned with fighting jihad, but rather controlling it.
W/r/t to Honduras. Imagine what was against these brave people. The entire US State Department, the mainstream media here, Chavez, Ortega, and the rest of those goons.
During the crisis, I was a news editor at a 35,000-circulation paper. The AP immediately named the story "Honduras Coup" and kept it that way the whole time. Every day AP sent photos of Zelaya's supporters, and then when the conservative won the election, the story was mysteriously dropped.
Great call on "The Lost City" by the way. That's immediately what I imagined when you suggested the Honduran constitution crisis be turned into a film.
Georgia started the war, not Russia. Let's not let propaganda get in the way of facts.
Georgia launched attacks along the border for more than a decade
Why would tiny Georgia launch attacks along the border of their giant and bellicose neighbor? For the same reason Poland was attacking German radio stations just prior to WW2, perhaps?

It's Memorial Day and the season dictates that for outdoor photographers the game moves mostly from birds, wildlife and Everglades excursions to our backyards, beaches and urban areas for the best photos. Plants can be great subjects and here a few ideas to help get things growing:
Smaller lenses- no need now for big zooms and telephotos. Whether it's up close detail work with a macro lens or fun with a wide angle, break out your smaller, faster lenses and enjoy shooting offhand. Tip: wide angle lenses will make vertical subjects placed on the outer edges of the frame curve inward. That can lend a fun effect but if you'd like to avoid it, center those tall objects.
Color and Composition- 90% of great photos is right there. Use leading lines, saturated colors and unusual angles to make your photos pop. The coconut palm shown here exhibits all three and was taken purely as a function of wanting to try something different with a common subject. Any ideas?
Chances are you can get some good shooting in right around your home. The landscaping virtually everywhere is photogenic offering you lots of opportunities. While you're out there remember our military families all of whom are sacrificing. As linked above, you can learn more about the history of Memorial Day here... Gordon.

Computer science has remained one of the most marketable degrees. Due to the rapid growth of technology, demand has consistently grown for educated programmers. While a computer science (CS) degree can require a fairly intense amount of study, it also has the unique advantage of being one of the degrees that is most compatible with a distance education environment.
Those looking for computer science degrees will in many situations opt to study at a university due to the opportunity to work with others and focus entirely on studying. Those that already possess some programming knowledge, are currently employed, are unable to move to attend a university, or have a strong enough independent work ethic may determine that obtaining a CS degree from distance education to be their best option.
An independent work ethic and strong study skills are absolutely essential when it comes to earning a computer science degree. The amount of tutoring and assistance offered to those that cannot come on campus can be limited requiring that pupils either hire their own tutors, excel at figuring concepts out on their own, or otherwise be able to find assistance in learning what can often be fairly hard concepts. For this reason, some distance education programs will require that students at least be able to attend certain math intensive courses in person in order to ensure comprehension of basic programming logic.
There are a number of traditional brick-and-mortar universities which offer computer science degrees through distance learning. They include Dakota State, Florida State, Franklin University, Illinois University, Old Dominion, Oregon State, Regis University, University of Maryland and Troy. Many of these programs are fairly expensive; the Oregon State program as an example can cost as much as $40k/year for non-residents. In some cases they could end up costing more than attending the university in-person would cost. They do offer some level of convenience, however, and are much easier to balance with a full time job or other occupation than traditional matriculation.
Dakota State charges a modest tuition of less than $383 per online course regardless of residency. The entire program is approximately 110 credit hours with a moderate portion of general education. Like most CS programs it is fairly math heavy.
Troy University is a decently respected school and offers one of the best prices for a CS degree, but their program is only an applied major which may cause issues if you plan to pursue a Masters in the future. That said, the program is only 36 hours and focuses on programming rather than theory. Additionally, the math requirements for this program are comparatively light which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your goals.
Oregon State is often cited as having one of the most attractive programs for those looking to avoid taking too many un-related courses. Their focus is on providing CS classes but they do so through offering a post-bac degree. This means that while one can take 4 years, the program can be completed in as little as 1. The degree given is a full bachelors, but again one must have a degree first in order to get in. This will be particularly attractive to those looking to avoid taking further math courses. At $630 per unit, the course requirements will cost nearly $40,000 which depending on finances could be a bit off-putting to some.
It's also worth mentioning the University of London's international programs, particularly to those that do not live in the United States. They offer a Computing and Information Systems as well as a creative computing program which are both very affordable and geared towards those looking to learn from a broader range of studies beyond just programming. The downside is that these programs have far less emphasis on programming and offer a more well-rounded education akin to general information technology programs in the states.
Be sure to research each program before making a decision. Many of these programs are new enough that in some cases they are yet to have any graduates. That can make it difficult to find fellow pupils. There is a definite shift towards offering more computer related courses through distance education so it's likely that more courses will become available in the next few years.

WRC-TV, channel 4, is an NBC owned-and-operated television station located in the American capital city of Washington, District of Columbia. The station is owned by the NBC Owned Television Stations subsidiary of NBCUniversal. WRC-TV's studios and transmitter are co-located in the Tenleytown neighborhood on the northwest side of Washington.[1]
WRC-TV houses and originates NBC News' Washington bureau, out of which the network's long-running political events program, Meet the Press, is based.
The station traces its roots to experimental television station W3XNB, which was put on the air by the Radio Corporation of America, the then-parent company of NBC, in 1939. On June 27, 1947, the station received a commercial station license and signed on the air as WNBW (standing for "NBC Washington"). Channel 4 is the second-oldest licensed television station in Washington, after WTTG (channel 5), which signed on six months earlier in January 1947. WNBW was also the second of the five original NBC-owned television stations to sign-on, behind New York City and ahead of Chicago, Cleveland and Los Angeles. The station was operated alongside WRC radio (980 AM, frequency now occupied by WTEM; and 93.9 FM, now WKYS).
On October 18, 1954, the television station's callsign changed to the present WRC-TV to match its radio sisters.[2] The new calls reflected NBC's ownership at the time by RCA. It has retained its "-TV" suffix to this day, more than two decades after the radio stations were sold off.
The second presidential debate between candidates John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon was broadcast from the station's studios on October 7, 1960. David Brinkley's Washington segment of the Huntley-Brinkley Report originated at WRC-TV between 1956 and 1970, as did Washington reports or commentaries by Brinkley or John Chancellor on NBC Nightly News in the 1970s.
The earliest color videotape in existence is a recording of the dedication of NBC/WRC's Washington studios on May 22, 1958. As Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke at the event, introduced by Brinkley, it was also the first time a president had been videotaped in color.[3][4]
At the time of its sign-on, channel 4 was one of two wholly network-owned stations in Washington, the other being DuMont's WTTG. DuMont was shut down in 1956, and for the next 30 years WRC-TV was the only owned-and-operated station in Washington. That distinction ended when WTTG was sold to the News Corporation and became a charter station for the Fox network in 1986; it has since been accompanied by WDCA (channel 20) and WBDC (channel 50, now WDCW) in that order, respectively as UPN and WB stations with their respective owners having ownership stakes in those new networks (former WDCA owner Chris-Craft with UPN until 2000 and current owner News Corporation with MyNetworkTV, and WDCW owner Tribune Company with The WB throughout its run). Today, WRC is one of three network-owned stations in the nation's capital, alongside the Fox Television Stations-owned duopoly of WTTG and WDCA.
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
|PSIP Short Name
|Main WRC-TV programming / NBC
|Cozi TV
On January 1, 2012, digital subchannel 4.3 was discontinued as the network it was affiliated with, Universal Sports, began to be distributed to cable and satellite providers.
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
On June 12, 2009, WRC-TV terminated its analog signal, on VHF channel 4, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television.[6] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 48. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display WRC-TV's virtual channel as 4. The station participated in the "Analog Nightlight" program, with its analog signal carrying information on the digital transition until analog signal broadcasts were permanently discontinued on June 26, 2009.
Beginning in 1996, WRC-TV's studios were the home of WHD-TV, an experimental high definition television station owned by a consortium of industry groups and stations which carried the nation's first program in the format transmitted by a television station, an episode of Meet the Press,[7] and aired on UHF channel 34 to provide the FCC and the National Association of Broadcasters a channel to conduct many experiments in the new format.[8][9] WHD-TV was discontinued around 2002.
Mobile DTV[edit]
WRC-TV also has a Mobile DTV feed of subchannel 4.1, labelled "WRC NBC Mobile", broadcasting at 1.83 Mbit/s. This is the lowest bitrate of any D.C.-area television station mobile feed.[10][11] In July 2009, the Washington, D.C. market's television stations became a test market for Mobile DTV, with WRC-TV as one of the participating stations.[12] Like all of the D.C.-area Mobile DTV broadcasters, WRC-TV commenced full-time ATSC-M/H broadcasting on February 27, 2011.
Syndicated programs broadcast by WRC-TV include Access Hollywood Live, Access Hollywood, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Steve Harvey, among others. Because of its ownership by the network, WRC-TV generally carries the entire NBC network schedule, though NBC Nightly News is broadcast a half-hour later (at 7 p.m.) than most NBC stations in the Eastern United States, due to an hour-long 6 p.m. newscast.
WRC-TV's building is home to Meet the Press, the longest-running program in U.S. broadcast television history, which debuted on November 6, 1947 and It's Academic, which premiered in 1961 and is the longest-running game show in television history according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Sam and Friends, Jim Henson's late-night precursor to Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, got its start on WRC-TV on May 9, 1955. WRC-TV is over-the-air home of Washington Redskins pre-season games since 2009, though before the NBC/Comcast merger, games only were carried in standard definition on WRC, with actual rightsholder CSN Mid-Atlantic airing the high definition broadcast.
News operation[edit]
|This section requires expansion with: further information on the history of WRC-TV's news department. (June 2013)
WRC-TV presently broadcasts 40 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 6½ hours on weekdays, 3½ hours on Saturdays and four hours on Sundays). By 2001, WRC's newscasts had all been rated number one in the market, with the long-running anchor team of Jim Vance and Doreen Gentzler. In the May 2010 sweeps, it placed first at 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. in total viewers, and first at 6:00 a.m., 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. in the 25–54 demo. It still leads most time slots today, although WTTG's morning news and WJLA's 11:00 pm news have given it much competition in the 25-54 demo.
The news operation runs a nightly 7 p.m. program on subchannel 2 that consists of a single anchor covering the headlines with some of the afternoon newscast packages which the station does not consider a "full-blown newscast."[13]
On January 14, 2009, WRC-TV and WTTG entered into a Local News Service (called LNS) agreement in which the two stations pool video and share news helicopter footage. The agreement is similar to ones already made between Fox and NBC owned-and-operated stations in Chicago (WMAQ-TV and WFLD) and Philadelphia (WCAU and WTXF).[14] WUSA later joined that agreement. In 2012, News Director Camille Edwards announced the station would no longer participate in LNS, but the stations would continue to share the helicopter.
On April 8, 2010, the station began test broadcast of its news programming in high-definition during local news updates seen during Today; regular newscasts continued to be broadcast in standard definition. WRC-TV started broadcasting its newscasts from a temporary set on February 8, 2010 while "upgrades" were being made on its main set and the station made final adjustments for its switch to high definition. On April 22, 2010, WRC became the fourth (and final) English-language television station in the Washington, D.C. market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition. It is the only station in the Washington market that shoots most of its remote field video in 16:9 widescreen; other stations still shoot live field video in 4:3 and then either pillarbox or stretch this content to widescreen—though WRC's field video is shot in standard definition.

October is Maafa Awareness Month, a time to reflect on recovery from the residual impact slavery had on the Black community and how the centuries of free labor benefited everyone else. The ritual this year is Sunday, Oct. 10, 5:30 a.m., at Ocean Beach, Fulton at the Great Highway, in San Francisco. Maafa is Kiswahili for "great calamity, reoccurring disaster," a term used to describe the Black Holocaust of the European Slave Trade and how the post traumatic stress syndrome shows up in our thoughts and behavior unwittingly.

text: John Curtis scores 26th state title John Curtis scores 26th state title Ted Lewis| firstname.lastname@example.com Dec. 20, 2013 Comments Never, ever try to get cute against John Curtis. University High did so Thursday and paid a game-changing price in its 32-0 loss to the Patriots in the Division II select state championship game in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The previously undefeated Cubs, making their first title-game appearance in 23 years, played the perennial powerhouse Patriots, making their 18th straight Prep Classic appearance, to a scoreless standstill midway through the second quarter when they faced fourth-and-1 from the Curtis 44. On two previous occasions, U-High had gone for it without success in long yardage situations from the Patriots' 26 and 22. But this time, a team that averaged 44.5 points and had a 2,000-yard rusher in junior Nick Brossette (an LSU commitment) lined up in punt formation. That yielded an unbalanced formation on the right side. A short snap went to kicker Chandler Johnson, who threw across the middle to Jake Alexander — only to see it go through his hands. Five plays later, Curtis had its first touchdown: Raekwon James springing loose from the 34. A 13-yard TD by James on a screen pass from Abby Touzet on the final play of the half following an interception by Hunter Dale made it 13-0 and, for all intents and purposes, the second half was about how wide the final margin of victory would be and whether the Patriots (10-2) could pitch a shutout en route to their third straight state title. "We'd practiced that play all season but never used it," Cubs coach Chad Mahaffey said. "We thought it had a good chance of succeeding. But in a game against a team like John Curtis, you don't have a big margin for error." Especially when the Patriots have probably seen every variation of trick plays. "We work on that kind of formation or something like it every week," said coach J.T. Curtis, whose teams have now won 26 state titles. "So it really didn't take us by surprise." In the long run, the play likely would not have changed the final outcome. Curtis' defense grew more dominant as the game went along, allowing just 81 yards and seven first downs in the second half after U-High had 134 and eight in the first — all before the failed fake punt. Brossette had 120 yards, but it took him 27 carries to get them. The Cubs had just 19 other plays from scrimmage. "Our main goal was to stop the run," said Curtis senior linebacker Kenny Young, whose 13 tackles earned him Player of the Game honors for the winners. "The first couple of series, they moved the ball on us pretty well, and Brossette got his yards on us because he's a great back. But we shut them out, and that's how you win championships." The Curtis offense took a while to get going but eventually did its job as well. After some early missteps, including a pass thrown by Myles Washington that was intercepted by U-High's Bennett Lowery at the Cubs' 27, the Patriots got their running game going. They used Jones off-tackle as Brad Frazier on the right and Willy Allen on the left consistently sealed off defenders along with an overpowering middle attack behind center Tim Luwe and guards Brent Ruiz and Kirklynn Breham. After netting just 41 rushing yards in the first quarter, the Patriots added 313 over the next three. James' 97 yards set the pace on a day when four Curtis runners had at least 62. In the third quarter, the Patriots added to their lead on Washington's 1-yard run after a bad punt snap set them up at the U-High 3. They pulled away in the fourth period with a 60-yard drive capped by George Moreira's 1-yard run and a 79-yarder by sophomore Tyrone Chevalier. "They make it easy for you," James said. "You just have to go where the holes are." Brossette acknowledged the difficulty of going against a defense as talented as Curtis'. "They're always going to have a lot great players," he said "We had some things going there at first, but we couldn't keep it up." Mahaffey acknowledged it was a frustrating night. "Obviously it didn't end the way we wanted it to," he said. "We tried to make some adjustments in the second half, but that's tough to do against a team like the one we were playing tonight. The thing I'm proud of most is that we kept battling to the end." Curtis, who celebrated his 67th birthday last week and now has 530 victories in his 45 seasons at the school his father founded, always makes a point to say that every championship is special in its own right. For this one, the team overcame the death of a player in the spring while a longtime assistant coach was sidelined with cancer. And on the field, there were two rare losses in the regular season. But in the playoffs, truncated to three games because of the select/nonselect split, the Patriots outscored foes 120-6. "I don't think I've ever had a team go though as much, at least early in the season," he said. "But they hung together all year. After the loss to St. Thomas Aquinas, Dale told the team they had to put everything behind them because we knew we'd face games like we had tonight. This team has been a total pleasure to coach."

There are a lot of great dining options for UNC students off campus. If you don't want to travel far, there are more than 40 restaurants on Franklin Street, with many different types of cuisine, such as American, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, and Vietnamese. There are also a lot of fine dining options for when you have a romantic evening planned or when the parents are coming down for a visit. There are a few student favorites, though, such as Bandido's Mexican Café, Spanky's, McAlisters, and Carolina Coffee Shop, just to name a few. For those that have a car, there are also great restaurants just a short drive away.
There are a lot of restaurants open late for the times when you get the munchies, such as Cosmic Cantina and B Ski's. Many restaurants also offer a delivery service that comes in handy during finals or those lazy days that everyone has. It's not unusual to see a pizza delivery to the science labs, or Asia Café delivering to the library. Many students choose to skip the meal plan and eat out, and while it may seem like an expensive option, it tends to fall around the same price. So if you find the dining halls aren't for you, this is always a great option. Food is never a problem at Carolina, but it's a good idea to pick and choose what you eat because the Freshman 15 can easily turn into the Freshman 30 with so many great choices!

My family is being forced to move because of the recent intimidation tactics used against us. More on this soon...—
Lee Stranahan (@Stranahan) September 06, 2012
Former leftist activist Lee Stranahan has been on the front lines in the fight against stalker and terrorist Brett Kimberlin. He and his family have recently been the victims of nasty threats from Kimberlin supporters and violent leftists, and, no longer feeling safe in their home, they have decided to flee. Blogger Aaron Walker, who has himself dealt with intimidation and lawfare, has more:
@PaddyJManning We're making the best of it and trying to look on the bright side.—
Lee Stranahan (@Stranahan) September 06, 2012
Short Version: increasing intensity of the threats + public reveal of our address by a Kimberlin-y nut = problem @AaronWorthing @rsmccain—
Lee Stranahan (@Stranahan) September 06, 2012
Over the weekend, Stranahan alerted police to one of the people making threats against him:
@liberalgrouch I just spoke to as Sargent at the Howard County Police department. Go right ahead and call them, now, and prove your case.—
Lee Stranahan (@Stranahan) September 02, 2012
Leftist and self-described "liberal patriot" Bill Schmalfeldt, aka The Liberal Grouch, has been among the most vocal of those threatening Stranahan. Here's just a brief sampling of his nastiness:
@OsborneInk …he told the cops that I was threatening his wife and family. What the fuck "tweet" is Pussy @stranahan talking about???—
Bill Schmalfeldt (@LiberalGrouch) September 03, 2012
Say, Gang! LET'S FIX LEE @STRANAHAN'S TEETH!!! – goo.gl/RmbgW via @Shareaholic—
Bill Schmalfeldt (@LiberalGrouch) September 03, 2012
@stranahan Time's up. You're mine.—
Bill Schmalfeldt (@LiberalGrouch) September 02, 2012
Scroll through his blog and Twitter feed at your own risk. He's truly vile.
Schmalfeldt insists he never made any threats:
I have never threatened harm, publicly or otherwise. 3 minutes.—
Bill Schmalfeldt (@LiberalGrouch) September 06, 2012
As Patterico documented, Schmalfeldt's denial is patently false. Schmalfeldt insists that his threat was as innocuous as saying "good morning." Not remotely. Moreover, he repeatedly endorses and proclaims his solidarity with Twitterer @OccupyRebellion, another notorious Kimberlin supporter. @OccupyRebellion sent out a tweet clearly threatening Stranahan's wife:
While @Stranahan is in Tampa this week, should Texas rapists be told where to find his wife since he supports the rapes of everyone else?—
Sheridan (@OccupyRebellion) August 27, 2012
After receiving repeated threats of this nature, Stranahan feels his only remaining option is to move his family away from their current home. Doing so will require extra financial help. Stranahan took to Twitter to ask his supporters for assistance:
If you want to help out with these sudden moving expenses, you can send a donation via PayPal to email@example.com—
Lee Stranahan (@Stranahan) September 06, 2012
And, naturally, the vilest of the vile used Stranahan's financial hardships to mock him:
OK, you guys! Your boy needs your help with moving expenses. All you suckers pony up your hard earned bucks and give 'em to Scammy! #tcot—
Bill Schmalfeldt (@LiberalGrouch) September 06, 2012
Seriously, even DULLEST conservative has to see Scammy for what he is now! Even YOU @aaronwalker and @joebrooks! Fucking shameless!—
Bill Schmalfeldt (@LiberalGrouch) September 06, 2012
Baldfaced, toothless, shamless scam artists seeks help with moving expenses. Give all your money to his paypal! Do it NOW! #tlot #tcot—
Bill Schmalfeldt (@LiberalGrouch) September 06, 2012
"Waaah. I'm Lee Stranahan and my family's lives are in danger. We have to move. Send me more donations!!"—
Sheridan (@OccupyRebellion) September 06, 2012
Get a job & pay it yourself !!! RT @Stranahan If u want to help out with these sudden moving expenses, u can send donation via PayPal to …—

"Screw the family. They're just props. Send me more money. OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER!!!!" -Stranahan—
Sheridan (@OccupyRebellion) September 06, 2012
"I'm going to be sued, lose my kids, and end up in prison. This is great blogging material! I'll get more donations!!!!!!!" -Stranahan—
Sheridan (@OccupyRebellion) September 06, 2012
It's utterly disgraceful. Thankfully, Stranahan is a far bigger man than all of his sick detractors combined, and he's vowed to keep his head up and fight the good fight:
If the left is fighting this hard to stop me, you have to assume I'm doing something right—
Lee Stranahan (@Stranahan) September 02, 2012
Indeed. Meanwhile, you can also help Stranahan by remaining vigilant. And if you'd like to donate to the Bloggers Defense Fund, which goes toward aiding victims of Kimberlin-style lawfare, you can do so here.

Sexism Watch: Publishers Weekly Top Ten Books of 2009
The editors of Publishers Weekly have thrown down the gauntlet picking the top 10 books of the year and SURPRISE they are all by guys.
Here's what Louisa Ermelino said about how they chose the books:
I guess it didn't disturb them enough. But it has caused quite a stir and again points out the issue of why these lists matter and why women just never seem to make the grade.
Cate Marvin who started a new organization WILLA (Women in Letters and Literary Arts) said to the Guardian:
Co-Founder of Willa Erin Bileau said:
I personally believe that it is bullshit that the top 10 books of the year are all by men (and by the way 9 out of the 10 are by white men.) People who make these lists need to look at their own inherent and internalized biases. Wonder how those women who didn't give a crap about political correctness yesterday are feeling this morning.

text: Two months ago, Golden State Warriors forward Mickael Pietrus stated repeatedly that he wished to be traded, no longer desiring to be a member of a team that was giving him sporadic minutes and making him play out of position. He now would like to take those sentiments back. When the Warriors, unmoved by Pietrus' pleas, held onto the fifth-year player as the non-waiver trade deadline passed on Feb. 21, the consensus — supported by one of Pietrus' own agents — was that he would walk out of Oakland as an unrestricted free agent at season's end and take up with one of the 29 other NBA teams before consenting to return to the Warriors. But Pietrus made it clear in an interview with the Contra Costa Times that he is very much open to the idea of staying with the only NBA team he has ever known. Warriors executive vice president Chris Mullin, who could see nine of his 14 current players become free agents this summer, is amenable to such a move.

The principal mineral resource of the northern Black Hills is gold, which is produced to a value of more than $5,000,000 a year. It is not, however, the purpose of this report to describe the metallic minerals of the region, for they are treated in other publications.a
Details regarding gold in the Nigger Hill and Bear Lodge uplifts and tin near Bear Gulch are given in the Sundance folio, by N. H. Darton.b
In the basal portion of the Lakota sandstone there are local deposits of coal, a northward extension of those in the Cambria coal field. The deposits are not continuous, and they thicken and thin irregularly. Owing to the talus of sandstone blocks, which accumulates on the slopes along the Lakota-Morrison outcrop, it is difficult to explore the coal horizon. The outcrop line of that horizon is shown on the map (Pl. IV), but only at a few points is it bare of talus and at some of these localities coal may have weathered or burned out and the sandstone roof closed down.
At Aladdin deposits of coal in the lower portion of the Lakota formation are worked to a considerable extent. A branch railroad extends from the mines down Hay Creek to connect with the Chicago and Northwestern Railway near Belle Fourche. The shipments in 1902 amounted to about 10,000 long tons, and the product is a good soft bituminous coal, suitable for locomotive and, domestic use. The principal basin lies along and north of Hay Creek, and the good coal thins and merges into more impure beds laterally. Two principal beds are worked, a lower 3 to 5 feet thick and an upper 2 feet thick, the two being separated by about 10 to 20 feet of sandy shales. The deposits are broken by a number of small faults which add greatly to the difficulty of mining. The mines comprise four openings in the lower slope of the ridge on the north side of the Hay Creek valley at Aladdin. They begin at the coal outcrop under a steep cliff of Lakota sandstone, and two of them extend northward for nearly a quarter of a mile along the coal beds, which dip very gently to the northeast. One small opening is on the upper coal bed at a point where it is about 2-1/2 feet thick, but it is usually thinner. The principal workings are on the lower bed, which is from 2-1/2 to slightly more than 3-1/2 feet thick in the mines. In one of the earlier mines a thickness of 6 feet was found at one point. The coal basin appears to extend over an area of considerable size about Hay Creek, and numerous prospect holes show extensive beds of pure coal which in most portions of the area are only a foot or less in thickness. It is possible that other basins may be found in adjoining regions, for the coal horizon is above ground all along both sides of the Bear Lodge Mountains north of the head of Redwater Creek, in the basins of Pine, Oak, Deep, Hay, and North Redwater creeks, and on the slopes on the south side of Medicine Creek. At a number of localities, however, there are exposures of an apparently complete section of basal Lakota beds down to the Morrison contact, showing little or no trace of coal, probably indicating that if coal beds are present west and north of the Hay Creek basin they are of small extent.
Coal has been mined to some extent for local use 1-1/2 miles southeast of Holwell's ranch and at several localities west of Sundance. Recently some openings have been made 3 miles west of Inyankara Mountain, exposing a small deposit. The main opening southeast of Holwell's is in the SE. 1/4 sec. 31, T. 48 N., R. 62 W., where there is an adit about 55 feet long. The coal is 8-1/2 feet thick, comprising 5 feet of hard pure coal, about 2 feet of pure, very hard coal which is particularly valuable for blacksmith's use, and at the base 1-1/2 feet of bone merging into cannel coal. The upper coal contains considerable sulphur, an ingredient of infrequent occurrence in the lower bed. Over the coal are about 2 feet of sandy shales overlain by hard sandstone, which makes a good roof. The floor is sandstone of the basal bed of the Lakota formation. The bone burns well but leaves a large amount of white ash and slacks readily. The dip, which is to the southwest, is very gentle. About 60 feet above the main deposit is a bed varying from 1-1/2 feet to 3 feet in thickness, consisting of a mixture of clay, sand, and coal, too impure for fuel. The following analyses of the coals of the main bed have been furnished through the kindness of Mr. George Bidwell, of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company:
Analyses of coals southeast of Holwell's ranch, Wyoming.
In the same quarter section, but about 500 feet farther west, is another tunnel 100 feet long on the main coal bed, which is here 6-1/2 feet thick and contains but little bony deposit near its bottom. The coal is very firm and of excellent quality. It is overlain by 3 feet of light-colored sandy clay, capped by a thick mass of smooth, uniform sandstone which forms a good roof. The floor is a very hard sandstone, as in the other mine. Two miles to the southwest, in Sec. 12, T. 47 N., R. 63 W., near the north line of the northwest quarter, is another tunnel 100 feet long. The same bed is exposed here and is about 4 feet 4 inches thick, nearly all pure coal of more than usual hardness. The roof at this place is sandstone without the intervening shale. West of Holwell's ranch, on the west side of Skull Creek, coal has been found at one or two points at the base of the sandstone cliffs; its thickness and extent have not been ascertained, but apparently the deposit in this locality is of diminished thickness.
It is reported that on the ridge west of Inyankara Mountain the coaly deposit near the base of the Lakota formation has a thickness of 9 feet, but is mostly shale and bone. West of Sundance the principal mine exposes a coal bed of excellent quality, somewhat over 4 feet in thickness.
The Spearfish formation carries deposits of gypsuma hydrous sulphate of limethroughout its extent, and the mineral occurs in beds sufficiently thick and pure to be of value if near to market. When gypsum is calcined at a moderate heat to drive off the greater portion of the chemically combined water and is then ground, the product is plaster of Paris. The two principal beds of gypsum are in the upper and lower portions of the formation. The upper bed is thickest in the ridges east of Spearfish, where it is 18 to 20 feet thick, and in Oil Creek valley and about Red Butte, where it is 25 feet thick. It is 10 feet thick near Sturgis, 6 to 8 feet near Whitewood, and 4 feet near Sundance. The lower bed, which occurs about 120 feet above the bottom of the formation, is prominent in the Sundance region and in Government and Redwater valleys, where it is 10 to 25 feet thick. Farther east and south it is only about 5 feet thick. The gypsum is mostly pure white or light gray in color, massive in structure, and nearly pure. It has been worked to some extent at Sturgis, but the distance from market has proved too great to make the industry profitable.
Small amounts of petroleum occur in some of the sandstones surrounding the Black Hills, but so far no evidence has been obtained that a large supply is available. Wells have been sunk at various localities without encouraging results. The best prospects in the northern region appear to be in the Moorcroft field, 15 miles northeast of Moorcroft, where there are several small seeps of oil from the lower sandstone of the Graneros formation and where several exploratory wells have been sunk. One of these, 306 feet deep, is reported to have yielded 5 barrels a day for a while. Other deeper wells obtained no satisfactory supply and some of them were sunk in such manner that they could not possibly reach the oil sand. Two of the borings, 800 and 1,300 feet deep, were bored on the south side of Belle Fourche River. The locations of the springs and wells in this field are shown in figure 13. Queen City wells Nos. 1 and 2 and Northwestern No. 2 obtained a small amount of oil, but the others shown on the map obtained more.
Wells about Belle Fourche and Sturgis and at Jerome and Thornton penetrate the Dakota and associated sandstones, but have found no trace of oil. A large amount of "oil land" has been taken up in the Piney RidgeWind Creek district, but it presents no good prospects of oil.
Bentonite is a hydrous silicate of alumina with some other components in small proportions. It is valuable on account of its high absorbent qualities, having the capacity for absorbing three times its weight or about seven times its volume of water. It occurs in greatest abundance in the southwestern portion of the area treated in this report and has been mined to some extent at a point 3-1/2 miles northwest of Osage, or 6 miles southeast of Jerome, on the east side of the railroad track. The material is a light-gray, fine-textured, soft, massive stone, but at the surface it weathers to a light powdery substance resembling white corn meal. Near Osage, where the bed is about 4 feet thick, it occurs in Graneros shale of so low a dip that the deposit is exposed over a considerable area. The mineral has been used with success as a soap filler and also in the manufacture of paper, but it has proved most valuable for a packing for horses' hoofs and as a diluent for certain powerful drugs in powdered form. An analysis made by the Wyoming State School of Mines is as follows:
Analysis of bentonite.
The extensive exposures of Pahasapa Whitewood, and Minnekahta limestones afford an unlimited supply of rock for burning into lime or for flux. The Whitewood limestone has been extensively quarried for the latter purpose 2 miles below Deadwood (see Pl. VI, B), and the product utilized in the smelter near by.
The extensive deposits of limestone and shale occurring close together in the Black Hills uplift afford suitable material for cement at many localities and doubtless will be utilized for this purpose when there is sufficient demand. Portions of the Niobrara formation appear to consist of carbonate of lime and clay in proper proportions for the direct manufacture of cement, but no test of the material has yet been made. The cement at Yankton, S. Dak., is manufactured from Niobrara chalky limestone mixed with the overlying Pierre shale.
Portions of the Fuson formation are suitable for fire clay, and this material has been mined for that purpose to some extent in pits 2 miles south of Rapid. The product has proved very satisfactory for the manufacture of fire brick, which have been shipped in moderate numbers to various places. An upper bed of the Unkpapa sandstone has also been worked for fire clay on the north side of Rapid Creek near the reservoir, but the pit was finally abandoned. The deposits in the Fuson formation are somewhat variable in character, some portions being refractory while others could not be used. The following analyses were made by R. A. Slagle at the School of Mines at Rapid:
Analyses of fire clays from near Rapid, S. Dak.
Nos. 1 and 2 are varieties tried at an earlier stage of experimentation. No. 3 is from middle Fuson beds on the east slope of the ridge, and has given the best results. No. 4 is from Rocker ville Hill; the upper softer part of it is serviceable for cementing the harder varieties.
The Black Hills have a climate much more attractive than that of the adjoining plains. The extremes of temperature are less, both diurnally and annually, and the precipitation is more abundant. The weather is dry and hot in summer, moderately moist in late spring, and cold, with moderate snowfall, in winter. The climatic features vary from year to year, and show much local variation from point to point, particularly in rainfall. More snow falls in the Black Hills than on the adjoining plains, and, owing to the greater shade and shelter from sun and wind, it remains longer on the ground. Records of the weather at various points in the hills and their vicinity have been kept for many years, and from these the diagrams constituting Plates XXIII and XXIV and figures 14 and 15 have been compiled. Much information up to the end of the year 1891 was obtained from the report by Lieut. John P. Finley.a Plate XXIII and figure 14 illustrate the local and annual variations in temperature from month to month at points in or near the Black Hills. The prominent feature is a gradual rise of temperature in the spring to a maximum in July and August, as in most places on the same latitude. These two months often have an average of 70°, generally being a little more on the plains and somewhat less in the woods and on the high lands. Ordinarily July is hotter than August. The temperature has a great range in the twenty-four hours in summer, often rising considerably above 100° in midday and falling below 60° at night. In the autumn there is a gradual decline in temperature for the first two months, and then usually a rapid fall to uniformly low temperature, which prevails throughout December and January. The average winter temperature is usually between 20° and 25°, but it varies more or less. As shown in figure 14, the mean annual temperature varies considerably both in different localities and from year to year. It is considerably lower in the northern part of the Black Hills, probably owing entirely to the difference of latitude.
The Black Hills exhibit a higher average temperature in winter and a lower average in summer than the adjoining plains. The explanation that has been offered for this difference is the fact that the region is protected by heavy forests from the high and dry cold winds which sweep across the plains.
The normal monthly temperatures for typical northern Black Hills stations up to the end of 1891 were as follows:
Normal monthly temperatures in the Black Hills.
The average number of days in which the maximum temperature equaled or exceeded 90° were, at Fort Meade, about two days in June, seven days in July, seven days in August, one day in September; at Deadwood, less than one day in June, two days in July, and one day in August.
Precipitation in and about the hills is extremely variable, much of the variation being local. The rainy season in the spring, which in some years attains its culmination in May and in others in June, is usually followed by a period of drought in July, and generally there are numerous scattered showers in August and September. Snow is usually expected early in October, but the first snows are light and do not lie long on the ground. The midsummer precipitation in the Black Hills is not large in volume, but scarcely a day passes without light local showers at one point or another. They usually fall out of small clouds moving in narrow zones, and are a very small factor in agriculture. The rain often falls from one stratum of air and is absorbed again in another before so reaching the ground. The idea that the climate of the region is changinga theory which many people holdis not borne out by the meteorological records. The great variation from month to month and from place to place seems to recur through recent seasons with the same range and averages shown in the earlier records. The average number of rainy days in which the precipitation at Deadwood and Rapid equaled or exceeded 0.01 inch is as follows:
Rainy days on which precipitation at Deadwood and Rapid, S. Dak., equaled or exceeded 0.01 inch.
The average number of clear days per month, or those in which less than one-third of the sky was obscured by clouds, at the same localities, are as follows:
Average number of clear days per month at Deadwood and Rapid, S. Dak.
At Deadwood the mean annual precipitation from 1878 to 1887 was 28.4 inches. At Rapid it was 18-1/2 inches from 1881 to 1891, and 16-1/2 inches from 1892 to 1906. The following excessive precipitation has been recorded:
Excessive precipitation at points in the Black Hills, South Dakota.
The average quarterly precipitation for three points in the Black Hills is as follows:
Average quarterly precipitation at Deadwood, Fort Meade, and Rapid, S. Dak.
This precipitation, apportioned between the dry season, or winter, comprising January, February, November, and December, and the wet season, from March to October, inclusive, is as follows:
Average precipitation during wet and dry seasons at Deadwood, Fort Meade, and Rapid, S. Dak.
The average monthly precipitation at these three places, deduced from observations to the end of 1891, is as follows:
Average monthly rainfall at Deadwood, Fort Meade, and Rapid, S. Dak.

The People's Court of the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh on January 3 began the preliminary hearing of 89 defendants who trafficked over 5,000 cakes of heroin (a cake is equivalent to 350 grammes) and thousands of methamphetamine pills.
They are also charged with other counts such as forging documents, hiding military weapons, illegally doing business, not denouncing criminals, bribing and mediating bribery.
The death penalty was proposed for 66 of the defendants.
According to the indictment issued by the provincial People's Procuracy, the case includes four trafficking rings.
Sa Van Cau, who has escaped to Laos, led the first ring. Cau and his accomplices bought heroin, methamphetamine and synthetic drugs in Laos then delivered them to Vietnam and China.
The second ring, led by Nguyen Hung Dung and Song A Lau, also trafficked drugs from Laos to Vietnam and China.
Nguyen Thanh Tuan and his wife Vu Thi Thanh Huyen operated the third ring while Nguyen Thi Hoan and Nguyen Ngoc Doan led the fourth. They smuggled heroin from Vietnam to China, the indictment read.
The first hearing is scheduled to last until January 20.-VNA
