Analyzing the Cost of a Lunar Mission
Analyzing the Cost of a Lunar MissionThere are many different elements that contribute to the cost of completing the Google Lunar XPRIZE, but is there a way to break this down to get a better idea of where the money will go? The International Academy of Astronautics has developed a structure for determining cost per flight of launch vehicles, which has five main categories: Vehicle Cost, Direct Operations Cost, Indirect Operations Cost, Business Charges, and Insurance Cost. This article will try to explain these categories with respect to a lunar mission.

Update: Borussia Dortmund 4-1 Real Madrid, final score - Match report.
As Jose Mourinho implored his team not to panic and simply calm down from the touchline, Dortmund continued their pressure as they hunted a second goal.
Madrid did appear to heed their manager though and started to look a bit more dangerous as the half rolled on. There was still no doubt though that Jürgen Klopp had his young side both prepared and highly motivated for the match.
One thing Madrid were definitely able to accomplish in the wake of the goal was slowing down the tempo. Dortmund were able to run wild in the opening ten minutes but as Madrid were able to wrestle away some possession, they slowed down the momentum just a bit which should benefit them if they can keep it up.
Cristiano Ronaldo generated Madrid's first real attacking moment of the game in the 24th minute, earning a free kick from 30-yards out. After his now famous stare down of the dead ball, Ronaldo launched a shot that curled over the wall and forced Roman Weidenfeller to parry the ball away. The keeper handled it well and the danger was cleared by Dortmund.
With 15 minutes left to play in the first half, Madrid are starting to get more set pieces in the Dortmund attacking third, Klopp will likely want his team to tray and avoid giving the visitors those type of chances. So far Weidenfeller has been on his game but Dortmund are definitely playing with fire just a bit.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance warns that budget cuts to higher education could lead to layoffs. Texas faces a biennial budget deficit of up to $27 billion. To put that into perspective Texas needs to cut up to $1,089 of spending for every man, woman, & child in the state over the course of the next two years.
Hance writes for an editorial published Friday in the San Angelo Standard Times, "While it is still early in this legislative session, Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 1 both propose severe cuts to higher education institutions for the next biennium."
Hance continues, "We will be forced to reconsider workforce and workload critical to our mission..."
His statement applies to Texas Tech, the Health Sciences Center and Angelo State University.
Texas Tech and other state universities have already suffered from the budget crunch. Hance writes, "... the Texas Tech University System has identified ways to reduce costs and has worked to return nearly $37.5 million to the state in the last two years."
Hance says Texas higher education has been hit harder than other areas of the state budget. He says higher education represents 12.5% of the current budget but universities were asked to return 41 percent of the statewide reductions in the last two years.

In Montreal, "St. Patrick" had a whole different meaning -- rather than casting out snakes, Patrick Roy's specialty was keeping pucks out of the Canadiens' net. Roy is the starting goaltender on NHL.com's "All-Patrick Team," a group made up of the League's best players with the given name or surname of Patrick.
Roy is one of the two modern-day Hockey Hall of Famers with the first name Patrick -- the other is longtime Islander and Sabre Pat LaFontaine, the big gun on our all-Patrick club.
On the surname side, the Patricks -- Lester, Frank, Muzz, Lynn, Glenn and Craig -- are one of hockey's first families. Two other Patricks, James and Steve, aren't related to the others but made their own mark on the NHL.
With a tip 'o the cap from all of us at NHL.com, here's our All-Patrick team:
Special birthday for Ryan
Anaheim's Bobby Ryan doesn't mind sharing his birthday with St. Patrick.
"It's cool," Ryan told NHL.com's Curtis Zupke when asked about being born on St. Patrick's Day. "I think everybody kind of forgets about you a little bit and goes and drinks beer all day, but it's always cool to share your birthday with something like that -- a monumental holiday."
Ryan is one of five current NHL players whose birthday falls on March 17 -- Andrew Ference (Boston), Mikael Backlund (Calgary), Derek Joslin (Carolina) and Ryan White (Montreal) are the others. Another 18 players who've spent time in the NHL also were born on March 17 -- Patrick Lebeau, who played briefly for four teams in the 1990s, holds the distinction of being the only "Patrick" actually born on St. Patrick's Day.
Ryan said he became well-acquainted with one of his fellow "St. Patrick's" during his climb up the hockey ladder.
"I played against (defenseman) Ryan Parent (now with the AHL Chicago Wolves), who is also born on St. Patrick's Day, three years in a row in juniors on our birthday," Ryan said. "Honestly, in juniors we wished each other 'Happy Birthday' like two or three years in a row -- and kept playing."
Parent and Ryan actually were born on the same day -- March 17, 1987 -- and were drafted in the first round together in 2005; Ryan went to Anaheim with the No. 2 choice, while Parent was taken 18th by Nashville. Joslin, a fifth-round choice in 2005, was also born on St. Patrick's Day in 1987.
One of Ryan's career highlights came on March 17, 2010, when he celebrated with a pair of goals in Anaheim's 4-2 win against Chicago, a victory that keyed the Ducks' run to a playoff berth. But for the second year in a row, Ryan can actually celebrate his birthday on March 17 -- the Ducks have the night off, something he said didn't happen a lot when he was growing up.
"As far back as I can remember, it was a hockey weekend," he said. "It was one of things where we surrounded it with getting ready to go to a game the next day. If I do have the day off, I definitely have a green beer -- so I'll have one on Saturday."
--John Kreiser
Patrick Roy (Montreal/Colorado , 1984-2003)
The "St. Patrick" nickname came after Roy led the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup as a rookie in 1986. He won another Cup in Montreal in '93 and two more after being traded to Colorado during the 1995-96 season. When he retired in 2003, Roy held the record for victories in the regular season (since passed by Martin Brodeur) and the playoffs (a mark he still holds).
Backup: Patrick Lalime (1996-2010)
Pre-NHL honoree: Patrick Joseph "Paddy" Moran
Pat Stapleton (Boston/Chicago, 1961-73)
At 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, Stapleton was a puck-mover, not a banger -- and in the late 1960s and early '70s, there weren't many defensemen who moved the puck better than "Whitey." Stapleton played in four All-Star Games and was a Second-Team All-Star three times. He was a big reason for the rise of the Chicago Blackhawks in the late '60s, and played on teams that went to the Stanley Cup Final in 1971 and '73.
Backup: Pat Ribble (Atlanta/Chicago/Toronto/Washington/Calgary, 1976-83)
James Patrick (NY Rangers/Hartford/Calgary/Buffalo, 1984-2004)
James and brother Steve weren't related to the famous Patrick clan -- though both wound up playing parts of their careers with the New York Rangers, the team Lester built and sons Lynn and Muzz played for. In James' case, he went right from Team Canada after the 1984 Olympic Games into the Rangers' lineup -- and stayed there for a decade, until being dealt to Hartford during the 1993-94 season (thereby missing the Blueshirts' run to the Stanley Cup). He was dealt to Calgary later in the season and spent four-plus seasons with the Flames before moving to Buffalo and spending his last six seasons on the Sabres' blue line. He wound up with 1,280 games played (the most of any Patrick), 149 goals and 639 points. He's currently an assistant coach with Buffalo.
Backup: Muzz Patrick (N.Y Rangers, 1938-46)
Honorary Patrick (for middle name): Leonard Patrick "Red" Kelly
Pat LaFontaine (NY Islanders/Buffalo/NY Rangers, 1984-98)
LaFontaine was one of two Patricks (along with Patrick Flatley) who joined the Islanders following the 1984 Olympics, and wasted no time showing why they took him with the No. 3 pick in the 1983 NHL Draft. He scored 13 goals in 15 games after joining the four-time defending Cup champs and went on to score 40 or more goals in four consecutive seasons, including 54 in 1989-90 to lead the Isles to an unexpected playoff berth. He was dealt to Buffalo in the fall of 1991 and teamed with Alexander Mogilny to form one of the NHL's deadliest duos, putting up a career-high 148 points in '93-94. Injuries began to plague him after that, and he retired in 1998 after sustaining a concussion while playing for the Rangers. LaFontaine was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2003 after piling up 1,013 points in just 865 games.
Backup: Lynn Patrick (N.Y. Rangers, 1934-46)
European division: Patrik Elias (New Jersey, 1995-present)
Patrick Marleau (San Jose, 1998-present)
Left Wing - SJS
Backup: Patrick Flatley (1984-97)
Patrick Kane (Chicago, 2007-present)
Kane is the only "Patrick" to be taken No. 1 in the Entry Draft, in 2007 (though there was a "Patrik" -- Patrik Stefan -- who went No. 1 in 1999), and he's already among the elite Patricks even though he's only in his fifth NHL season. Kane won the Calder Trophy as a rookie in 2008 (the only Patrick to be so honored), was the youngest member of Team USA at the 2010 Winter Olympics -- and the only American-born player named Patrick ever to win an Olympic medal. That's quite a list of accomplishments for a player who's still just 23 years old.
Backup: Patrick Sharp (Philadelphia/Chicago, 2002-present)
Pat Quinn (Philadelphia/Vancouver/Los Angeles/Toronto/Edmonton, 1979-present)
Pat Burns (Montreal/Boston/Toronto/New Jersey, 1989-2004)
The two Pats (Quinn's real name in John Brian Patrick) had careers that crossed from the time Burns entered the NHL coaching ranks in 1989. Quinn has more regular-season wins (684-501) but never won a Stanley Cup (he did coach two teams to the Final). Burns, who left Toronto two years before Quinn arrived, had his coaching career cut short by cancer but did win a Stanley Cup with New Jersey in 2003.
General Manager:
Lester Patrick (NY Rangers, 1927-46)
Patrick also coached the Rangers to a pair of Cups, but that accomplishment is surpassed by his efforts in building the Rangers from scratch in 1926 into one of the NHL's best teams before World War II. The Patrick-built Rangers won the Cup in 1928, their second season, with "The Silver Fox" going from coach-GM to goaltender in Game 2 of the Final when Lorne Chabot was injured and helping his team win in OT. The Rangers won again in 1933 and captured a third Cup in 1940 after Patrick stepped aside as coach but was still the GM. There is no area of the sport that Patrick didn't affect, and his impact on the game is still felt today.
Backup: Craig Patrick (NY Rangers/Pittsburgh, 1981-2006)

"While the predecessor "Heavy Zooo" was a hook-ladden, angst-filled soundtrack to riot, rampage and party, "Concrete Catalyst" now sees the band elaborating their songwriting into unexpected finesse. Touching prog-ladden textures and unexpected changes, creating distinct walls of sound and incorporating structures that make them leaving the heavy rock cluster at ease, "Concrete Catalyst" is a monolith that is so much more than a collection of songs. If there ever was a reason for using the word "album" in conjunction with a long-play record it would be records like this one! Narrative and conceptual composition that is here. The whole album presents itself in a colorful dignity that leaves you breathless. While it's obvious that Beehoover seem to take their integral parts much more serious than ever before, their special and distinct humor still shines on "Concrete Catalyst". There simply is no category where you can lump this in."

Kids party ideas for a 2 year old
My daughter just turned 2 and I wanted to choose a versatile, yet fun theme for her party that wasn't related to a character. Here are some of the themes and kids party ideas I considered before finally setting on the theme.
At first, I considered a butterfly themed party, but then saw a photo of a worm cake and wanted to do caterpillars and butterflies – as my little caterpillar is now a gorgeous butterfly.
Catch my party is a great site for ideas with loads of clever ideas, such as the Hungry Caterpillar parties.
Then, Jacky – a guest blogger – suggested a bug party and I fell in love with the idea the more we chatted and came up with ideas. Like this garden party from the Hostess with the mostess or the bug garden themed party from the Chicabug blog.
It is always best to first serve healthy food such as fruit and savoury items before the sweet treats. Children at this age enjoy to snack, so small portions are best.
As for food there are many options to consider such as sandwiches, mini pizzas, meat balls, chicken nuggets, sausage rolls, fish fingers, fruit jellies and fruit skewers.
Party favours
I like buying practical gifts and to be brutally honest: if it has a battery, I prefer to overlook it. Here are some gift ideas I found that I like.
- Puzzles, from 8 pieces and more. Should they not be able to build a puzzle with more than 20 pieces – they sure will in the next year.
- Balls – need I say more? All shapes, color and sizes
- Building Blocks – from Duplo to Lego and more
- Kiddies sized household equipment. From cleaning, kitchen and tool sets, there are plenty to choose from. This makes the child feel special as they can 'assist' with household chores. Woolworths has a real cute cleaning set from their Early Learning Range.
- Art supplies. This includes finger paint, sand art and play dough to name a few. Visit The Toy Box for some affordable, great ideas.

The fifth-ranked Mustangs go on the road to play fourth-ranked Baker of Kansas.Morningside opened the playoffs with a 40-21 win over number-10 Rocky Mountain College last Saturday to improve to 10-1.Baker is 11-1 after winning their first round game, 10-7. Their only post-season meeting came in '08, when Morningside won by 38 points.Morningside was the NAIA's top-ranked team for most of the season and now have to prove they're the best team, on the field."Playing on the road can be a challenge," said Morningside head coach Steve Ryan. "You really have to stay focused, your defense has to play well and you have to take care of the ball. I think we're up to the task but the guys hopefully just need to understand that we're really going to have to play well to win this ball game.""We really feel like we have something to prove, especially after that loss," said Morningside quarterback Ryan Kasdorf. "We made a point to come out real tough and play all four quarters. Also it's the playoffs so it's one and done. So if you lose you go home.""Just the travel, it would be a lot nicer to play at home but we just got to focus on what we need to do and it should all just take care of itself," said Morningside senior defensive lineman Bret Doorenbos.Morningside and Baker kickoff at 1 o'clock Saturday in Baldwin City, Kansas.

Last US WWI Veteran Frank Buckles Dies at 110
A chapter in American history has closed.
Frank Buckles, the final surviving American veteran of World War I, has died. He was 110 years old.
Read: Robert Sargent Shriver Jr. Dies at 95
Buckles passed away from natural causes at his home near Charles Town, West Virginia, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Born on a farm near Bethany, Missouri, on February 1, 1901, Buckles lied about his age when he joined the Army. He was just 16 years old when he entered World War I as a member of the ambulance corps, and one of nearly five million other Americans to fight in the war.
Upon returning home, Buckles joined a shipping company and traveled the world. In 1941 he was captured by the Japanese while working in the Philippines, spending more than three years in a prisoner of war camp.
Back in the States, Buckles moved to a 330-acre cattle farm in West Virginia with his new wife, Audrey Mayo. The pair remained together until Audrey's death in 1999.

President Obama released the following statement upon hearing of Buckles' passing:
"Frank Buckles lived the American Century. Like so many veterans, he returned home, continued his education, began a career, and along with his late wife Audrey, raised their daughter Susannah. And just as Frank continued to serve America until his passing, as the Honorary Chairman of the World War I Memorial Foundation, our nation has a sacred obligation to always serve our veterans and their families as well as they've served us. We join Susannah and all those who knew and loved her father in celebrating a remarkable life that reminds us of the true meaning of patriotism and our obligations to each other as Americans."

Class, Color, and The Hidden Injuries of Race
Paul Street
it's the silences that speak the loudest. Consider, for example,
a study released last year by a team of public health researchers
at the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. As noted in
a front-page Chicago
Sun Times story titled "Danger Zones for Kids," this
study reported that injury was the leading cause of death for youth
in the United States. The problem is especially great, its authors
learned, in Chicago, where injuries killed 106 adolescents per year
during the mid-1990s. Especially disturbing was the study's
discovery that the city's youth mortality rate for "intentional
injury," that is violence, was much higher than for accidental
injury. The leading cause of "intentional injury" for
Chicago kids over 10 years old was gun violence. Beyond citywide
numbers, the researchers reported on the distribution of youth injuries
and deaths across the city's 77 officially designated Community
Areas. Neighborhood disparities, they found, were severe, ranging
from one West Side community where 146 per 100,000 were hospitalized
for injuries per year—more than 4 times the city-wide average—to
more than 30 neighborhoods where fewer than 6 youth were hospitalized
for injuries.
a front-page New York Times piece that appeared late last
summer under the provocative title "Rural Towns Turn to Prisons
to Re-ignite Their Economies." According to this article, rural
America relies like never before on prison construction to produce
jobs and economic development formerly provided by farms, factories,
coal mines, and oil. Reporting that 25 new prisons went up in the
United States countryside each year during the 1990s, up from 16
per year in the 1980s and just 4 per year in the 1970s, the article
quoted an Oklahoma city manager to chilling effect. "There's
no more recession-proof form of economic development," this
official, whose town just got a shiny new maximum-security prison,
told the Times, than incarceration because "nothing's
going to stop crime."
final example is provided by another front-page story in the Chicago
Tribune. Last July, the Tribune reported that
Ford Heights, a desperately poor "inner-ring" suburb south
of Chicago, led the nation in percentage of households headed by
single mothers. This article included a map showing the United States'
top 20 communities as ranked by percentage of single-mother households.
While it related "Ford Heights' dubious title" to
residents' poor education, weak job skills, and south-suburban
de-industrialization, it especially emphasized residents' "self-defeating
social patterns" including, naturally enough, teen sex. Echoing
the findings of the latest academic poverty research, it noted a
strong connection between teen pregnancy and young people's
"hopeless" sense that the future holds little and there
is little reason to "defer gratification."
well written reports and articles all. There was something curious
missing, however, from each. Strange though it may seem in one of
the world's most racially segregated cities, the Children's
Memorial team and the Sun Times did not link their findings
to readily available, recently released census data on the racial
composition of Chicago's neighborhoods. They had to go out
of their way not to make the connection. Of the city's top
20 Community Areas ranked by injury-related youth mortality, no
less than 15 are currently 90 percent or more African-American.
All but one very disproportionately Black for the city. By contrast,
more than three-fourths of the 31 neighborhoods where just 6 or
less injury-related youth hospitalizations occurred per year were
very disproportionately white.
a similar vein, the Tribune piece, while curiously including
three photographs of African-American Ford Heights teen moms, refrained
from mentioning that all of the top 20 single-mom communities were
very disproportionately African-American. Seventy percent of those
communities where youth feel especially hopeless are more than 90
percent black. All but one are at least two-thirds black. Nowhere,
finally, could the liberal Times bring itself to mention
the very predominantly white composition of the keepers and the
very predominantly black composition of those kept in America's
burgeoning new prison towns.
has to go elsewhere than the nation's leading newspaper to
learn that blacks are 12.3 percent of the U.S. population but comprise
fully half of the roughly 2 million Americans currently behind bars.
The exact same omissions were glaringly obvious, however, in a March
Tribune article titled "Towns Put Dreams in Prisons"
(about downstate Illinois towns scrambling to build employment-generating
prisons) and a July piece in the Detroit News titled "Ionia
[Michigan] Finds Stability in Prison: Lockups Provide Fast Growing
Community With Jobs." In all of these reports, there was but
one reference to race. It was buried deep in a methodological appendix
to the Children's Memorial study, where the researchers claimed
that they "chose not to examine the relationship between race
and injury," because 30 percent of the injury cases reported
by the State were "missing racial classification."
Color Blind
the rule of color-blind rhetoric, significant and widespread racism
is largely a thing of the nation's past. There is a widespread
belief among U.S. Whites that African-Americans now enjoy equal
opportunity. "As white America sees it," write Leonard
Steinhorn and Barbara Diggs-Brown in their sobering By
the Color of Their Skin: the Illusion of Integration and the Reality
of Race (2000), "every effort has been made to welcome
blacks into the American mainstream, and now they're on their
own… 'We got the message, we made the corrections—get
on with it."
our current officially color-blind era of American history, older
and more blatant forms and incidents of classic explicit and intentional
racial bigotry are still fit subjects for open discussion. It helps
if those forms and incidents are understood as anomalous and identified
primarily with lower- and working-class whites who do not understand
the new rules of the game. The more significant and persistent structural
inequalities that continue to shape, limit, and imprison African-American
experience are largely outside the parameters of polite public discussion.
The new reluctance to speak freely about race comes in conservative,
liberal, and left forms. For conservatives, predictably, the conventional
argument that racism is essentially over and that the main barrier
to black advancement comes from within the black community, in the
form of self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. There's nothing
surprising in this reactionary racist sentiment, which parallels
triumphant capitalist "end of history" wisdom on the related
and supposed irrelevance of class and other barriers to freedom
and democracy in the U.S.
are now liberals who share the sense that racism has ceased to be
a significant barrier to black well being and success. Among liberals,
and some further to the left, however, color-blind rhetoric appears
more commonly in the argument that society will best serve blacks
by downplaying the danger zone of race and emphasizing the shared
dilemmas faced by all economically disadvantaged people regardless
of color. No one made that argument more famously than black, left-liberal
Harvard sociologist William Julius Wilson. Wilson claimed that only
race-neutral political-economic analyses and policy solutions can
meaningfully address the problems of "truly disadvantaged"
blacks, who are victimized, by Wilson's analysis, more by color-blind,
political-economic, and class forces than they are by race. This
perspective reaches well into the white liberal and even left intelligentsia.
It shapes the reflections of such diverse writers as Michael Tomasky,
Todd Gitlin, Jim Sleeper, E.J. Dionne, and others on "what
went wrong" with the American post-1960s left and how progressives
might build a new social democratic movement to overcome injustice.
Blame the Victim
form it takes, however, color-blind rhetoric and the "illusion
of integration" it conveys render much of America's harshly
divided social landscape shockingly unintelligible. The phenomena
that are hopelessly muddled include an inequitably funded educational
system that apparently just happens to provide poorer instruction
for blacks than whites; an electoral system whose voting irregularities
and domination by big money
happens to disproportionately disenfranchise blacks; a criminal
justice system that happens to especially stop, arrest, prosecute,
and incarcerate African-Americans; a political economy whose tendency
toward sharp inequality happens to especially impoverish
and divide black communities; and residential markets and housing
practices that happen to disproportionately restrict African-American
children to the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods and communities,
where kids' chances of learning are significantly diminished
by the threats of injury and violence. The list goes on.
Americans trained to believe that all the relevant racial barriers
have been torn down are conditioned to think that the nation's
millions of truly disadvantaged African-Americans have no one but
themselves to blame for their persistent pain and disproportionate
presence at the bottom of the American hierarchy. That thought
lies at the heart of America's new color-blind racism, which
draws ironic strength from the relative decline of acceptable explicit
racial bigotry in American life. It is at the core of the hesitancy
some liberals and progressives feel about speaking openly on race.
It makes well-intentioned anti-racist liberals and leftists reluctant
to fully examine the color of modern social problems, for to do
so in the current ideological context is, they reason, with some
justice, to fuel the fires of new racist (color-blind) victim-blaming
and even to damage black self-esteem.
liberals and leftists, racially reluctant rhetoric stems partly
from progressive ideas about the primacy of class and economic inequality
over racial and other important differences, such as gender. It
also reflects some liberals' and leftists' depressing
calculations regarding the narrowing boundaries of acceptable debate
regarding class and capitalism in the United States. Americans in
the last 30 years have seen the practical corporate-administered
collapse of legitimate space for public discussion of relevant historical
relationships between socioeconomic hierarchy, political power,
social behavior, and human misery. This breakdown restricts meaningful
public discussion of the ways that structural inequality and the
related social order of capital produce such related negative "behavioral
outcomes" and attitudes as teen pregnancy, hopelessness, violence,
family disintegration, and substance abuse among significant portions
of the population. It makes meaningful discussion of class and capitalism
into a danger zone that also makes race more dangerous and difficult
to discuss. For with their vulnerable and in fact persistently relevant
structural explanations increasingly banished from acceptable discourse,
progressives increasingly have reason to fear that they cannot make
the relevant racial connections. To do so, they fear, is to feed
Americans' penchant for seeing its most disadvantaged citizens,
who happen to be disproportionately black, as personally responsible
for their own plight or worse, as genetically inferior.
it is that a black elementary school principal on Chicago's
West Side recently told me that she and parents in her school's
99 percent black neighborhood were angered by what they saw as the
Sun Times' "racist" designation of their community
as one of the city's leading "danger zones for kids."
The real problem, the principal and parents felt, was that by omitting
the dire social and economic circumstances of their kids' neighborhood,
the story left no meaningful context other than race and the alleged
"self-defeating social patterns" of urban blacks to explain
the danger experienced by their children. Those circumstances include
rampant unemployment, poverty, affordable housing shortages, and
a chronic lack of livable wage jobs. Even while technically deleting
race, then, media coverage of youth injury and violence in Chicago
actually highlighted it and in a most unfavorable way from an African-American
perspective. Much the same could be said for the Tribune
article on single motherhood, where the racial connections were
curiously encouraged by photographs of single black mothers. In
a similar vein, nightly local television parades dangerous black
criminals and suspects across the screen almost nightly without
ever actually mentioning either race (except in occasional descriptions
of criminal suspects) or the social and economic circumstances that
give rise to high crime rates in poor urban neighborhoods. To receive
necessary and appropriate attention, racism requires that class
not also be a danger zone.
is too much to say liberal-left intellectuals have created this
situation. Still, they have contributed to it in recent decades
by spending a considerable amount of energy on a dubious debate
between traditional class-based, social democratic politics and
a more modern (or postmodern) politics of identity, as in gender,
sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture, and race. This controversy
is based partly on a false and counterproductive dichotomy, however,
for class and race have always been inseparably wedded to one another
in the American experience. From colonial origins to the present,
failure or inability to comprehend one part of America's simultaneous
race and class equations system has undermined the ability to grasp
and act on the others. It's about race and class, not one or
the other. Among the many developments for which this is true, we
could include the colonial Virginia ruling-class's fateful
discovery that Black chattel slavery was the solution to their unexpected
New World class problem with rebellious white ex-indentured servants,
the abandonment of the former slaves after the Civil War (something
that partly reflected business class fears about the signals that
southern "Reconstruction" would have sent to northern
white wage-earners), and the U.S. "elite's" unmatched
(in the industrialized world) ability to use racial division to
keep unions, the welfare state, and independent labor politics at
liberals and leftists will not create the color-blind society of
which Martin Luther King so famously dreamed by acting as if it
has already arrived. Intellectuals and activists will not answer
mainstream denial of racism's deep and stubborn persistence
nor respond effectively to the attack on structural understandings
of racial inequality by relegating race to the forgotten footnotes.
They will carry the moral and political responsibility to write
and speak about race and racism as long as skin color continues
to significantly shape dominant social, political, and economic
structures of opportunity and outcome. To discuss racial differences
without reference to cross-racial questions of economic inequality
and political economy is to further the racial divide in a way that
thwarts social justice and democracy in general. Z

Down Periscope is a 1996 comedy film starring Kelsey Grammer as the captain of a rust-bucket Navy submarine, the USS Stingray, who is fighting for his career as he is saddled with a group of misfit seamen.
David S. Ward directed the film. Lauren Holly and Rob Schneider co-star as officers on the sub. Also featured are Harry Dean Stanton, Bruce Dern, William H. Macy and Rip Torn.
The name of the film is a play on the 1959 World War II drama Up Periscope and spoofs several titles in the genre of films about submarines including Cold War drama The Hunt for Red October.[3]
Lieutenant Commander Thomas Dodge (Kelsey Grammer), a capable yet unorthodox US Navy officer, is about to be denied command of his own submarine for a third time because of his unconventional ways, including a notorious tattoo. Failure to secure a command will result in him being dropped from the command program and an assignment to a desk job, and he is particularly opposed by Rear Admiral Yancy Graham (Bruce Dern).
Vice Admiral Dean Winslow (Rip Torn) finds the perfect use for Dodge, however, when Winslow launches a war-game to test the Navy's defenses against possible attack by old diesel submarines in the hands of enemies of the US. Among those defenses being tested is the Navy's newest sub, the Los Angeles-class USS Orlando, which will be commanded by Commander Carl Knox, Dodge's former CO (William H. Macy). For this purpose, Dodge gains command of the rusty World War II era Balao-class diesel sub, the USS Stingray, SS-161. Adm. Winslow gives Dodge the order to "don't go by the book" and to "think like a pirate" and advises that if he can win the war-game, including sinking a mock target in Norfolk harbor, Winslow will consider Dodge for command of a nuclear submarine.
Adm. Graham, motivated by his dislike for Dodge and his own ambition, arranges circumstances to make Dodge's mission even more difficult. Graham handpicks a motley crew for the Stingray consisting of rejects and misfits: hot-tempered and uptight Lieutenant Martin Pascal (Rob Schneider) as Executive Officer; crusty Chief Engineer Howard (Stanton) (a civilian contractor hired for the job since no active Naval personnel is familiar with a Balao-class engine system); rebellious Engineman 1st Class Brad Stapanek (Bradford Tatum); sharp-eared Sonar Technician 2nd Class E.T. "Sonar" Lovacelli (Harland Williams); compulsive gambler Seaman Stanley "Spots" Sylvesterson (Jonathan Penner); former U.S. Naval Academy basketball player Jefferson "R.J." Jackson (Duane Martin), who has dreams of playing in the NBA; shock-prone (and shock-addled) electrician Seaman Nitro (Toby Huss); and the not-so-culinary cook Seaman Buckman (Ken Hudson Campbell). To further frustrate Dodge, Graham also uses the Stingray to institute a pilot program by the Navy for evaluating the feasibility of women serving on submarines, knowing that the diesel boat is unsuitable for mixed-gender living; Lieutenant Emily Lake (Lauren Holly) joins the crew as Diving Officer.
Using unorthodox tactics to offset their technological disadvantage, Dodge and the Stingray crew win their first objective by getting into and setting off flares in Charleston Harbor. Desperate to defeat Dodge, Graham cuts the containment area for the war-game in half without authorization. Running into trouble on their first attempt at Norfolk harbor, Dodge leaves the exercise area. Irate at this lapse in protocol, the zealous by-the-book Pascal attempts to gain command of the Stingray, but no one in the crew supports him. Thus his attempt is considered mutiny and, literally thinking like a pirate, Dodge makes him walk the plank into a waiting fishing trawler's net.
During the Stingray's second attempt at Norfolk, Graham assumes personal command of the Orlando. After some risky maneuvers by the Stingray, the Orlando is able to chase her down and obtain a shooting solution, but not before Dodge launches two torpedoes into a target hulk, which gains him the victory. Upon the Stingray's return to port, Adm. Winslow congratulates Dodge on a job well done and confides that crewman Stapanek is his own son. The admiral informs Dodge that he will not get a Los Angeles-class submarine as the two had previously discussed, but instead a Seawolf-class submarine (then the USN's newest design), plus a "proper crew" along with it. Dodge turns down the latter notion, requesting to transfer the entire crew of the Stingray. The film closes with Dodge starting to explain his tattoo to Emily Lake.
Closing credits include a music video of the Village People and the film's cast performing "In the Navy".

Production and release[edit]
Down Periscope began shooting on May 6, 1995 and finished on July 27.[4] The USS Pampanito, a Balao-class submarine from World War II, now a museum ship and memorial in San Francisco, played the part of the USS Stingray. The nearby Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet played the part of Naval Station Norfolk.
The film makes use of both standard U.S.Navy footage as well as scenes filmed specifically for the movie. The shots of the fictional USS Orlando were taken of the USS Springfield, homeported at the New London Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut, during a one-day VIP cruise for the christening committee of the USS Seawolf.[5]
The target ship that is torpedoed and sunk, ending the war game, is footage of the USS Fletcher (DD-445), one of the most decorated ships in USN history.
Down Periscope had its US theatrical release on March 1, 1996, and was first released on home video five months later, on August 6.[4]
Critical reception was generally low for Down Periscope, holding a 13% positive rating on the film aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.[6]
Box Office[edit]
Down Periscope has grossed $25,785,603 domestically and $37,553,752 worldwide. It currently sits at 2,315 rank for all time domestic gross.

Walker, McDonald OK deals for one year with PiratesFebruary 1, 2013 10:00 AM
Share with others:
The Pirates have agreed to terms with second baseman Neil Walker and pitcher James McDonald on one-year contracts, avoiding salary arbitration with their final two eligible players.
The team made the announcement Thursday night.
Walker will make $3.3 million and McDonald will make $3,025,000, according to a source. Those numbers represent the midpoints of the filed salary figures.
Previously, the Pirates had agreed to contracts with outfielder-first baseman Garrett Jones, first baseman Gaby Sanchez and pitcher Charlie Morton to avoid arbitration.
Walker, eligible for arbitration for the first time as a Super 2 player, asked for $3.6 million. The Pirates submitted a figure of $3 million. Walker made $500,000 in 2012.
McDonald, also eligible for arbitration for the first time, asked for $3.4 million. The Pirates filed at $2.65 million. McDonald made $502,500 last season.
The agreement means the Pirates have about $70 million committed to 14 players for the 2013 season, about $56 million of which will come out of their pocket after receiving payments toward the salaries of pitchers A.J. Burnett and Wandy Rodriguez.
The final 11 players on the active roster and players in the minor leagues will bring their 40-man roster payroll to roughly $75 million.
The payroll will increase if starting pitcher Francisco Liriano's deal becomes official.
Walker and McDonald were on their way to good seasons before second-half issues slowed them.
McDonald, 28, struck out 100 batters in 110 first-half innings, but had a 7.52 ERA and walked 38 batters in 61 innings after the All-Star break.
Manager Clint Hurdle eventually removed him from the rotation.
Walker, 27, hit .280 with 14 home runs, but missed about half of September because of a herniated disc in his lower back.
Joel Hanrahan, Jeff Karstens and Chris Resop also were eligible for arbitration this offseason. The Pirates traded Hanrahan and Resop and parted ways with Karstens before the non-tender deadline, then re-signed him later.mobilehome - pirates

Earlier this year, right as the first trailer was about to be released, and or just after, this site, and hell, this writer, spoke on behalf of this site and said the #1 comic book movie we were looking forward to this summer was Matthew Vaughn's "X-Men: First Class."
The cast is aces (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender starring opposite each other in the same film? hell yes) and while "Kick-Ass" had incredibly juvenile material to work from (of Mark Millar), Vaughn's direction was fantastic and the action sequences were thrilling. It seemed as if his career had been building its way all along towards a great comic-book movie (and yes, he almost directed "Thor" and "X-Men: The Last Stand", so it has been culminating). And the concept, by "X-Men" and "X2" director Bryan Singer, was a great one: essentially transporting the story to the tumultuous1960s before the X-Men group had formed and landing mutant fear right into the heart of the era of the Cuban Missile crisis and the height of the Civil Rights movement. It seemed like a brilliant maneuver to use the upheaval of this era, and for once in a comic book movie, some serious, adult themes), as an emotional and dramatic tissue to connect the fears, worries and prejudices that the mutants in the "X-Men" films constantly feel.
However, as of late, there's been two main issues. One, we've been bombarded with marketing each and every single day for the film. An image, a poster, a character poster, a character teaser trailer, a second trailer, innumerable interviews by the cast (IGN is deep in with 20th Century Fox it seems) giving away practically every detail of the film. It is the dictionary definition of marketing over-saturation (though yes, we recognize this is exactly what Joe Public may need).
Secondly, the clips that have been shown have been greatly dipping in quality. For instance, check out the new "You Can Show Off" clip, wherein Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Raven Darkholme (Jennifer Lawrence) are introduced to Hank "The Beast" McCoy (Nicholas Hoult). We surely hope this is truncated and the film isn't cut this way, because McCoy is outed in front of his boss and gets over it in about five seconds, whereas any humane filmmaker would use this as a golden opportunity to explore the pain and anguish one would likely feel if they were outed in such a manner. Plus Mystique and McCoy seem to fall in love in about five seconds flat. The entire affair seems incredibly rushed, and again, we're hoping the entire film doesn't go that way, but there's a valid concern that it might, considering all the characters the film has to introduce.
Nitpicking? Keep in mind this is a film, that on paper we actually kind of care about. It would be disappointing (and a huge missed opportunity) to see a thoughtful premise like this be botched by a rushed execution. Your take? "X-Men: First Class" arrives in theaters in three short weeks on June 3.

This movie looks beyond dumb.
TheoC | May 19, 2011 4:53 AM
You know they did everything right, cast director and storyline. Then they said make it an hour, I want to like this film but so far very little excites me about this and it really does look rushed. The terrible makeup/costumes (as equally bad as watchmen), the giant James McAvoy head on the posters and sully from Monsters inc. flying the plane.
So far the only thing I like is McAvoy's 'you will find no peace' line I hope there's more of that, and of course more shiny January Jones.

They should utilise the 64 X-Men members, 32 villains and 28 enemy teams listed on Wikipedia that weren't included in the previous films in future prequels/sequels and give us new stories while leaving Magneto out of some films after this one. Times change, we need to change as well.

The Mountaineers will not need any inspirational speech to get up for a game against the No. 2 team in the nation. When LSU comes to town Saturday, that in itself will be enough to get the home team amped up and focused.
There is no shortage of confidence inside No. 16 WVU's locker room that an upset is on the horizon.
"Confidence level is high because we want to win," says junior cornerback Pat Miller. "We've got to win. We're trying to win every game, so this is just another game in our way of making it to the national championship."
All season, the theme has been to treat every opponent the same. Every game counts as the same toward the team's record, whether it's a win or a loss. This one, with its national implications, seems to be just a bit more.
"This game could put West Virginia back on the map and get a lot of recognition to this program," says Miller.
Miller was part of a defense that held LSU to just one offensive touchdown a season ago, and that was due in large part to a turnover deep in WVU territory that led to the Tigers getting a short field. Back then, it was Jordan Jefferson taking snaps at quarterback, but due to suspension, senior Jarrett Lee will lead the LSU offensive.
"He's putting the ball where they want him to put the ball," WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen says of Lee. "He's playing well. He's got the luxury of having a lot of good people around him, as well. We want him to have a really bad game against us."
Through three games, Lee is just 14 completions shy of his 2010 season total, throwing for 444 yards and three touchdowns with just one interception, which came last week in a win over Mississippi State.
The bigger test Saturday will be the LSU defense. This isn't just a unit with a strong defensive line or a stellar secondary – it looks to have very few weaknesses at all. In fact, Holgorsen claims on tape it's so impressive he isn't sure it's not the best defense he'll have faced in his career.
"[They are] as good as any of them," says Holgorsen. "They've done a good job with sustaining their program. They've been in two big games this year, which they've handled each opponent fairly easily. To say it's not going to be a challenge would be crazy."
As good as WVU's defense was in Baton Rouge last season, its offense was quite poor. Geno Smith, who averages 356 yards per game through the air in 2011, was held to 119 against LSU in 2010.
Sophomore defensive back Tyrann Mathieu leads the Tigers in tackles with 24 and the rest of the top five tacklers on the team are all based out of the secondary. The Mountaineers understand they face a tough challenge, but they are looking forward to it.
Sophomore receiver Stedman Bailey will certainly face a challenge from cornerback Morris Claiborne.
"He's a pretty tall corner and he looks to be pretty aggressive," says Bailey. They like to run a lot of man [coverage]. I guess they have a lot of faith in him that he will hold it down on the island, but we're going to get him."
A major key for the Mountaineers will be to get out to the same fast start they did against Maryland a week ago. If they can get their tempo running right out of the gate, they can give themselves an opportunity for a lead that will be extremely important to test Lee and the LSU offense.
Setting that tempo is more easily said than done, though.
"Oregon goes faster than anyone in the country, they [LSU] handled their tempo just fine," says Holgorsen. "One thing is concerning watching their defense that they don't play just 11 people. They have tremendous depth on both sides of the ball. They can put their twos in there and it looks just as good as their ones."
WVU doesn't have similar depth on either side of the ball. But the Mountaineers are not going to win this game based on having a better roster. They just need to have a better performance under the lights.

Why may you ask?
2 words
Charles Martin.
November 23rd, 1986 was the infamous date. Jim McMahon and the Chicago Bears were coming off of their fantastic (hate to admit it) season where they absolutely punished everyone they played. This day was destined to be different. Charles Martin, wearing a towel with the numbers of some offensive Chicago players, including those numbers of Walter Payton and McMahon went into the game determined to take someone out. His chance came during a 3rd and 10 play. McMahon went to throw the ball, and it was picked off by a defensive back. There was no return, as the DB had to dive to get the ball. Well after the play, Martin, seizing his chance, bear-hugged McMahon from behind, pinning his throwing arm, lifted him up, and absolutely slammed him to the ground on his throwing shoulder.
Martin is ejectd, and suspended for 2 games. The Packers later cut him and he never plays a game for the Green Bay Packers again. He played for 2 more years; one season with the Houston Oilers and one season for the Atlanta Falcons.
McMahon was never really the same, and hopefully, he feels like things were evened out with winning of his second ring with the Packers. The Bears never won another superbowl, and haven't really been the same since.
Our franchise has had it's dark moments, so we should not be leading the charge for the saint's heads. I'm just happy that there was nothing that came out from the Packers that there was any indication of a bounty system, but this play, this player was deranged enough to do something far worse than anything that the Saints players did.
They're gonna get penalized. They'll get fined and probably lose picks. But we must not be the ones to lead the charge, no matter how you feel, becuase it just sounds terribly hypocritic. Like if Kobe Bryant was outraged and lead the charge against Big Ben for his sex scandals.
So let's not forget the black spot on our record, never repeat our mistakes, and work hard to be the best packers and packer fans that we have ever been.

Assemblymember Sandré Swanson joined Mayor Ron Dellums, Congresswoman Barbara Lee and other officials at a public unveiling of the Oakland Green Jobs Corps program, which will provide "green-collar" skills training and jobs to young adults, many of whom face significant barriers to employment.
October 1, 2008
At a press conference in Oakland, Tandenico Jones, a member of LIFETIME, declared: "The governor and the Legislature need to come to agreement that doesn't just cut services to balance the budget. Our economy is so bad right now; costs for everything have gone up. If the services I depend on are cut, all the efforts I've made to move my family forward will slip away."

Project Management
Effectiveness of the project management is crucial to the success of every major project in the laboratory. Project management gets even more important when the size of the project grows.
It is crucial that both the laboratory (customer) and the supplier deploy a project manager who both oversee the entire implementation and, incase of deviation from the project plan, negotiate the best solution to get back on track. Often problems during the implementation can be traced back to poor or lacking project management on one or both sides of supplier and customer. Unfortunately, the role of project manager on the supplier side is very often filled, as a dual-role, by one of the implementation consultants. This is not recommended since the project manger's role to overview and steer the project is to important as to be filled as a dual role. Furthermore the project manager needs to be able to take some distance when difficult decisions need to be made.
The Linkedin "Poll" results in the picture above show clearly that lacking of laboratory-side project management is an important factor in the high failure rate of laboratory informatics projects.
Many laboratories do not employ a project manager and rely on the project manager of the supplier, in the process rendering the control of the project to the supplier. Needless to say that this is not a desirable situation, certainly not incase of a conflict situation.
LUFC LabConsultants recommends to hire an independent (vendor-neutral) project manager that represents the interests of the laboratory.
Project management is preferably already involved during the selection process. LUFC LabConsultants provides project managers that can assist you during the selection and decision making process and subsequently also manage the entire implementation.

In a new note, Goldman's top economist Jan Hatzius takes a look at the past week, and explains the real big picture: The proper way to think about 2013 is to see this past week as a microcosm: Strong private sector, shaky developments from Washington.
Says Hatzius:
The key challenge for economic forecasters in 2013 is to weigh the relative importance of the positive impulse from the improvement in the private sector versus the increasing drag from the dysfunction and fiscal retrenchment in the public sector. Never has this been clearer than in the past week.
The news remains good on the private sector. Following upside surprises on durable goods, personal spending and income, industrial production, and nonfarm payrolls, our Q4 GDP tracking estimate has recovered most of its post-Sandy dip and now stands at 1.8%. Likewise, our Current Activity Indicator (CAI) for November has risen to 2.3%, and our US-MAP surprise index now shows the most positive reading in nearly a year on a 3-month average basis.
Following Speaker Boehner's failure to corral enough Republican votes for his "Plan B" on Thursday, the risk of greater fiscal restraint and greater policy uncertainty has increased. This could involve a temporary move "over the cliff" or a stop-gap measure that extends lower- and middle-income tax cuts and potentially unemployment benefits, but fails to defuse both the automatic federal spending cuts and the debt ceiling.
It is perhaps an open question whether the Plan B vote fail really represents a major indicator that the Fiscal Cliff will be hit, although the market certainly did not like the implications, as evidenced by Friday's trading.
Big picture though, Hatzius is dead on. The private sector is really to turn into high gear. Washington might screw it up. That's the question for 2013.

Last year the Rams went 7-9, but something that remained from the 1-15 season was the awful play of the outside linebackers. The position was manned by players who we probably wouldn't know if they played on different teams.
Despite having a defensive line that had three players who had a good argument for the Pro Bowl, the Rams ranked 17th overall in Adjusted Line Yards defensively (per FO). Delving futher, the Rams ranked 28th overall in 2nd level yards and 29th overall in open field yards. Considering that James Lauranitis is their MLB, it is obvious who is to blame for those low rankings.
But anybody who watches the Rams with a prick of football knowledge could have told you that our OLBs suck. Considering Chad Greenway recently signed his franchise tag, they likely will not get one via free agency. Unfortunately every other great OLB did this as well with LaMarr Woodley doing it, Tambi Hali doing it, David Harris doing it. Lastly, James Anderson was RFA tendered by the Panthers which could be invalid but likely means the Panthers will be getting him back leaving Thomas Davis the best available OLB option who was injured for all of 2010.
So to say that the draft is the only way to go is not necessarily true. However, the draft is the only way to go if the Rams want a franchise starter. And most of the free agent options out there have as much risk of being a bust as draft prospects, but with incredibly lower upside.
I'm ranking these players based off of where they are expected to fall not my opinion. That makes it easier on me where I can just put what I think and the reports on him and you can tell where this guy will probably be picked.
Last note I want to make. There are more than a few prospects who are listed as DE/OLB on Walter Football which makes it nearly impossible to grade this position. Most of the time, those prospects I list at DE because if we drafted them, they'd become defensive ends. (Like Aldon Smith for instance) I also switch a few ILB (According to WF) to OLB for the simple reason that other sites have those players as OLB (Greg Jones for instance has a scouting report listed as an OLB but is graded with ILBs for some reason)
1. Von Miller, Texas A&M
Why get him - He's a sack specalist with 18 sacks the past two years; If he touches you, you cease to be moving; He runs a 4.46 40 yard dash and more importantly shows it on the field; leader with good work ethic; can cover the whole field; good football IQ
Why not to get him - Well, he is a bit small for a 4-3 OLB; It's a little disconcerting that his highlight videos are 80% of him sacking the QB - Where's the rest of his game? - Walter Football calls him scrictly a 3-4 OLB
Summary - Well, if I were Billy Devaney, I'd think long and hard about getting him despite his limitations, however, it looks like that decision is not going to have to be made with recent talk that he may be picked second overall.
Projected - Top 10 Pick
2. Akeem Ayers, UCLA
Why get him - extremely versatile as he played OLB, DE, and MLB at UCLA, one of the most athletic players in the draft, good in coverage
Why not get him - I have almost nothing positive to say watching his game tapes. Let's go through the list: Gets blocked fairly easily; seems to pad stats by letting blocker block him and then running backwards to tackle a runner with 4+ yards, doesn't make many plays in the backfield, invisible in some games
Summary - I went from a "I don't really want him because UCLA fans don't believe in him" to "Don't get him with a 2nd round pick" - He seems to get burned almost as much as he makes plays and he's small and his Combine 40 was slow at 4.80 (He's not one of those game fast players either)
Projected Pick - 1st round
3. Bruce Carter, UNC
Why get him - athletic, strong, agile, can cover the whole field, good in special teams with six blocked punts and one blocked field goal, plays fast and hard, has a penchant for the big hit (I refer you this play)
Why not get him - He is an injury risk with ACL reconstructive surgery in December, sometimes too aggressive, not much of a pass rusher
Summary - I think if we were able to get him in the 3rd round that would be fantastic. His negatives are not really that negative (especially since the pass rushing thing is more a negative for 3-4). He got surgery in middle of December and it takes 7-9 months to recover so he should be ready for most of this next season if not all.
Projected Round - 2nd-3rd round
4. Mason Foster, Washington
Why get him - Constant motor, tends to take good angles to the ballcarrier, great work ethic, good against the run, does not miss many tackles, consistent player
Why not to get him - He's a little slow; smaller for an OLB prospect at 6'1, struggles in coverage at times, can imagine that losing some of that 245 pounds and turning it into muscle would be beneficiary
Summary - Overall, I liked what I saw in Foster. His good routes to balls could let him get away with being a little slow. If he can come to the NFL, slim down, I'm sure it would help his speed. Another player that I would love to get in the 3rd round.
Projected Round - 2nd-3rd round
5. Greg Jones, Michigan State
Why get him - a ridiculous 465 tackles in his four year career, great speed, great experience at the college level, consistent tackler, leader with good work ethic, covers the entire field
Why not get him - lacks size at 6'1 and bulk, doesn't deliver a lot of big hits, not great in man coverage, no highlight videos of him on youtube (kidding - but seriously Michigan State fans step it up!)
Summary - He played inside linebacker in college, but his size and speed should prevent him from doing so in the NFL. So if you're confused as to why I have him here, it is because he fits better as an OLB. Anyway, this is yet another player I would love to get with a 3rd round pick, but we could even snag him later than that.
Projected Round - 3rd-4th round
6. Dontay Moch, Nevada
Why get him - elite speed at 4.45 and he shows it on the field as well; good stats with 8.5 sacks and 22 TFLs, explosive, extreme athleticism, great first step
Why not get him - He's soft, lack of instincts, projects mainly as a 3-4 OLB, a pass-rushing DE in college, workout warrior, low football IQ
Summary - WF mentioned that he looked like Vernon Gholston on tape... about six months before he had the greatest Combine since Gholston. I doubt we have much to worry about in terms of drafting him because he is solely a 3-4 OLB, but it does say something about him that his best comparison is Gholston.
Projected Round - 3rd-4th round
7. K.J. Wright, Mississippi State
Why get him - three-year starter, hard worker with intense motor, athletic, dependable tackler, impressive power and strength, 9 pass blocked in senior year so he's decent in coverage
Why not get him - struggles to shed blockers, can be too aggressive at times (Note: I don't necessarily think this is a negative...), lacks fluid hips to change direction quickly
Summary - Let's see: durable, productive three-year starter who is good at tackling, works hard and his biggest negative in passing coverage was that he didn't make many impact plays. Sign me up!
Projected Round - 3rd-4th round
8. Thomas Keiser, Stanford
Why get him - He's a beast at 6'5, 252 and given his size, his speed ain't too shabby either with a 4.75 40 time, 3 year starter for Big Six conference team, versatile, effective pass rusher with 19.5 sacks in college
Why not get him - His decision to leave early is very suspect (4.5 sacks last year, 37 tackles?), doesn't have NFL athleticism, seems likely to fit best and possibly only in a 3-4 defense
Summary - Unfortunately, being a 4-3 defense effectively eliminates half of the outside linebackers available. Fortunately, this guy is nothing to get excited about.
Projected Round - 4th-5th round
9. Bruce Miller, UCF
Why get him - He was a very successful college player averaging nearly 50 tackles and 9 sacks a year as a four-year starter, good work ethic, got most out of limited talent
Why not get him - He is like Chase Daniels - works hard, gets the most out of what he has - but what he has is not very appealing, lacks athleticism.
Summary - A defensive end in college, he lacks the necessary qualities - speed, athleticism, shiftiness - to become a defensive end in the NFL. As an OLB, the best he can be is a 3-4 OLB and probably depth at that. Sorry another guy the Rams will not get (unless they believe he can be a DE)
Projected Round - 4th-5th roun
10. Ross Homan, THE Ohio State
Why get him - three-year starter at a big time university, 6 interceptions the past two seasons, tough, he ran a 4.65 at the Combine maybe disproving he isn't fast, great motor
Why not get him - he does not have ideal OLB size, could add some bulk to his frame, could get eaten up by tacklers
Summary - I can't think of a legitimate reason I don't feel good about him as a prospect, but that's the way I felt about James Lauranitis and this guy is similar to him in so many ways. I feel like he has everything I look for, but that my gut tells me no on him.
Projected Round - 4th-5th round
11. Mark Herzlich, Boston College
Why get him - tough as nails as evidenced by his battle with cancer, good size and bulk, great work ethic, good athlete, leader of the Eagles, 4-year starter
Why not get him - he has lost a stop since cancer and is not the potential 1st round pick he used to be, he was slow at the Combine recorded at 4.92, struggles in coverage
Summary - I'd be ok with drafting him in the 6th round if he falls that far and not much else since he's a little too big of a risk for a position that can't afford many more "busts." However, if he can become a good NFL player, he will because he has the drive and determination (Note: Don't like this reasoning though).
Projected Round - 5th-6th round
12. Lawrence Wilson, Uconn
Why get him - tackling machine with 243 tackles the past two years, very good instincts, sideline-to-sideline range, fast for a linebacker
Why not get him - one knack on him is that his playmaking skills are lacking, not very effective in pass coverage, sort of a one dimensional player
Summary - Wow, his traits sound like our current outside linebackers except he is better at tackling than they are. He a good 4-3 OLB so I wouldn't mind taking a chance.
Projected Round - 5th-6th round
13. Chris Carter, Fresno State
Why get him - good pass rusher, solid instincts, speedy player, makes plays in the backfield, decent bulk and size of for the position
Why not get him - he is not even close to a good fit for a 4-3 system, purely a rush linebacker
Summary - Another player who is just not going to be drafted because he doesn't fit in our system at all.
Projected Round - 5-7th round
14. J.T. Thomas, West Virginia
Why get him - fundamentally sound tackler, good in zone coverage, above average range, top-end speed, good recognition skills
Why not get him - he is thin and can get easily blocked by bigger lineman, lacks elite strength, tends to take poor angles to the ball
Summary - His weaknesses are hard to ignore and it would be difficult to try and change those things except perhaps strength.
Projected Round - 5th-7th round
Late Round 3-4 OLBs
1. Brian Duncan, Texas Tech - Originally a inside linebacker, the switch to the 3-4 lowered his tackles and raised his sacks and TFL. He is versatile so it is not out of the question that he can play 4-3, but it is less of a fit than a 3-4.
2. Kenny Rowe, Oregon - At Oregon, he played as an undersized defensive pass rusher, but in the NFL he must be a pass rushing 3-4 OLB. Probably next to no chance we get him.
Late Round 4-3 OLBs
1. Brian Rolle, OSU - The undersized linebacker uses his speed and tackling ability to his advantage, but he also has trouble getting free of blockers.
2. Jonas Mouton, Michigan - Slightly undersized linebacker that extremely dissapointed at the Combine running at near offensive line like speed despite not overly big - also was suspended for a game.
3. Doug Hogue, Syracuse - This former running-back has only played 24 career games at linebacker has good speed, good instincts
4. Michael Morgan, USC - This linebacker has a good combo of size and speed, but struggles to tackle and is likely just depth for teams.
5. Malcom Smith, USC - This starter has a knack for making plays, but his quickness and strength don't match his big play ability.
There are more prospects and naturally some of the ones I missed will probably drafted, but I wouldn't tell you anything to make you anymore knowledgeable about them. Anyway I thought I'd end this first prospect list with a poll about what round you think we should draft an OLB. Take into consideration who we would taking and if you think that person is worth the pick.
