Forte learning more than the usual Bears playbook under Trestman
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com May 14, 2013 9:00PM
Bears running back Matt Forte flexes his muscles after running for a touchdown in the first quarter of the Chicago Bears a 23-22 win over the Carolina Panthers Sunday October 28, 2012 at Soldier Field. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times

Updated: June 16, 2013 6:38AM
New Bears tight end Martellus Bennett anticipates running back Matt Forte will have few problems learning everything that's being asked of him in coach Marc Trestman's playbook.
Why would he?
''Matt went to Tulane,'' a laughing Bennett said Tuesday after the Bears' second day of organized team activities. ''That says a lot. It's a lot to learn.''
And it's another sign of how important Forte will be to the offense this season.
After Tuesday's OTAs, Forte provided some glimpse of what's in store. He'll seemingly be used in every way Trestman can imagine. Envision something like what former Oakland Raiders running back Charlie Garner did in 2002, but add a few more wrinkles. With Trestman as his offensive coordinator, Garner caught 91 passes for 941 yards and four touchdowns.
Forte brings even more for Trestman to work with.
''I think it's more challenging for me personally,'' Forte said. ''I have to learn more than just what the 'H' does. I've got to learn what the 'F' does and where he lines up. I may have a situation where I line up as a receiver and I have to learn the receiver routes as well.''
Forte is entering his sixth NFL season and has been through ''at least four playbooks," he said. But this one seems very different, especially since it involves maximizing his talents. He couldn't help but smile while talking about the playbook.
''I expect it to be balanced — establish the run first and get into the passing game,'' Forte said. ''There's a lot of routes that the running back has, even a fullback and tailback. The ball is going to be spread around pretty well.''
Last season, it seemed the Bears didn't know how to use Forte. General manager Phil Emery is on the record as saying he wasn't ''fully utilized.'' Forte's production, especially in the passing game, decreased, and nagging injuries made things worse.
But Trestman will find ways to change that. He said earlier this offseason that Forte has the ''full spectrum of what you want out of a running back.''
Forte, meanwhile, said it's exciting seeing where new players such as Bennett and left tackle Jermon Bushrod fit into the offense, too.
''We've had a lot of playbooks come through,'' Forte said. ''But I like this offense. I'm pretty excited about the upcoming season.''

Good Book This book got here super fast and was in pretty good condition. Its missing a CD and I'm kinda sad about that but other then that its perfect. This is the suggested reading for my class but was defiantly worth the $25 I spent. Only on chapter 4 and it has helped tremendously. January 27, 2014
Received very quickly!! I needed this book for an online class I'm taking as a prerequisite for SLP. It came within a couple of days and was just what I needed. The book didn't come with the CD that goes along with it and I was really hoping that it would. The best thing about the book is that someone had already gone through it and underlined many of the important parts. September 8, 2013
The textbook was exactly what I needed for over 75% off what the college bookstore was asking! Prices can't be beat and delivery was very fast. I received my book within 7 days of ordering it. The book was in good condition and it came with he necessary CDs. I will definitely continue ordering books from here! May 27, 2013
The product was worth it The book was very expensive to buy from the school bookstore, but was very inexpensive to rent from here. I thought it was worth the money I spent, it came on time, and came with all promised materials. February 29, 2012

I love a pretty drumshade pendant, especially one with a pattern. I think pendant lights catch my eye because I've been living in rentals since college that always have the most boring overhead lighting fixtures. I think people tend to overlook the value of a good light or lampshade in a room when they're decorating. I've noticed that most people tend to focus on getting the best sofa or table for their living room, and the lighting is often overlooked or forgotten as a simple practical item that you don't need to upgrade. I disagree with that logic — a stand-out lighting fixture can make a room shine. It's akin to pulling together an inexpensive outfit from finds at Gap and H&M and then throwing on one fantastic necklace that catches your eye. Think of your lighting fixtures as the amazing necklace of your space, dangling overhead. Here's a new favorite from Paper Cloud. Its whimsical, modern edge would fit right in with my apartment. You can find the Dewdrops drum pendant here.

Wanda Hendrix was born on November 3rd, 1928 in Jacksonville, Florida with the birth name Dixie Wanda Hendrix to parents Max Sylvester Hendrix and Mary Bailley. As a young girl she became involved with the local youth theater and it was there that a talent scout spotted her and suggested her family relocate to California and attempt pursuing a career for Hendrix in acting.
Immediately upon relocating she was given decent star roles with Warner Brothers films. She was cast in, "Confidential Agent" (1945) followed by a role in, "Nora Prentiss" (1947). She was then hire by Paramount for the film, "Welcome Stranger" (1947) and then paramount signed Hendrix to a contract and cast her right away in the film, "Ride the Pink Horse" (1947).
As her career progressed she worked on a couple more films such as, "Miss Tatlock's Millions" (1948), "My Own True Love" (1949), "Sierra" (1950), "Captain Carey, U.S.A." (1950), "The Highwayman" (1951) and "Highway Dragnet" (1954).
She briefly retired from acting in 1954 to work on her 2nd marriage, but after a 2nd troubled marriage and divorce, Hendrix returned back to the industry and tried to continue climbing up the ladder of stardom. Even with roles on television, stage and the big screen, she was never quite able to achieve the level of success she aimed for. She did have a couple more roles in the 1970's on the film, "One Minute Before Death" (1972) and on an episode of "Bewitched' (1971).
Wanda then retired from acting and remarried for a third time, but this marriage too ended in divorce in 1980 and she passed away on February 1st, 1981 at the young age of fifty two after suffering from double pneumonia in Los Angeles. She never had any children of her own and is interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Defeat the Debt Campaign Launches Ad Blitz with Billboards in Times Square
Drowning Uncle Sam Illustrates Mounting Danger of U.S. Debt
Washington, D.C. (May 12, 2010) — Today, Defeat the Debt (DTD) launched the second phase of a nationwide advertising campaign to educate the American people about the national debt and the long and short-term personal consequences of the government spending money we don't have.
The campaign will include new television commercials and full-page advertisements in newspapers across the country. An enhanced website, DefeatTheDebt.com, features a counter showing the national debt rising by the second.
The second phase of this multi-million dollar campaign launches today with a five-billboard mosaic in Times Square. The ad makes the following points:
- The national debt at the time the billboard was erected — $12,863,049,415,216.38;
- The phrase "America is drowning in debt" is illustrated by an Uncle Sam struggling to stay afloat;
- "$500 million in interest payments every day" drives home the urgency of the problem.
"It's extremely important that people understand just how dangerous America's national debt truly is," said Defeat the Debt's Executive Director Rick Berman. "In just the last year, the debt has ballooned by an additional $1.6 trillion to more than $12.8 trillion, and the consequences of this ever-expanding burden could be disastrous."
Berman continued, "Americans fail to realize how much money we owe other nations and just how much it would cost us if our bond rating were downgraded as a result of this unsustainable borrowing. If we don't take action now, we could end up like Greece, where profligate spending has driven the nation to the brink of bankruptcy and threatens to drag down the entire continent of Europe."
For more information, go to DefeatTheDebt.com. To schedule an interview with a spokesperson, contact Sarah Longwell at 202.463.7650.
Defeat the Debt is a project of the Employment Policies Institute, a nonprofit research organization dedicated to studying public policy issues that affect the American economy.

Faculty Tips Archives - October 2009
Scientists Awaiting the Mutation of H1N1
Infectious disease experts are awaiting an infinitesimal event of momentous importance: the mutation of the novel H1N1 influenza virus. "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization are constantly monitoring the virus as it spreads," says John Tudor, Ph.D., a microbiologist at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, "but there is no way to predict where, when or if mutation will occur."
Increasing Demand for Fair Trade Challenges Organizations
The premise is simple: to receive a fair wage for hard work. The fair trade movement, which began shortly after the Cold War, has regained momentum recently. A 2008 Fair Trade Federation Interim Report stated there was a 102 percent growth in U.S. and Canadian sales for Fair Trade products between 2004 and 2006.
Myths About Health Care Reform Leave Seniors in the Dark
The rumors swirling about health care reform are as sizeable as the 1,000 pages of proposed legislation. Of particular concern to George P. Sillup, Ph.D., assistant professor of pharmaceutical marketing at Saint Joseph's University, is the misinformation floating across the Internet, and over the airways, about how health care reform will affect Medicare.
The Economic Status: Ascending from Rock Bottom
American consumers are worried: They want to know whether their economy is improving, worsening or unchanging. Ben Liebman, Ph.D., associate professor of economics at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, says economists will look to holiday spending to gauge the economy's health.
Health Care Reform's Elephant in the Room
There may not be a simple solution to the complex problem of reforming health care, but bioethicist Mark Aita, S.J., M.D., assistant director of the Institute for Catholic Bioethics at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, is certain of one thing – the elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss is that insured Americans contribute to the problem.

MACON, Ga. — In a rebuke to new Gov. Nathan Deal, Georgia Republicans on Saturday elected Sue Everhart to another term as state party chairwoman over Deal's hand-picked candidate.
Deal, the new Republican governor, was booed by members of his own party before he watched Tricia Pridemore go down to defeat.
Everhart received 946 delegate votes at the party convention in Macon on Saturday, defeating Pridemore in the second round of voting. Pridemore got 755 votes.
Fulton County Republican Party Chairman Shawn Hanley, a former U.S. Marine, dropped out after the first round of balloting.
The race for the volunteer post had become increasingly bitter and had sharply split the Georgia GOP, which had been on something of a high since sweeping statewide elections last year.
Backers credited Everhart, 65, with helping lead the party to historic wins last year. They say she'll keep the party independent.
Supporters of Pridemore argued the 39-year-old former businesswoman possessed the skills to broaden the party's base and make better use of new media. She also wanted to do more outreach to minority groups
But Deal's backing of Pridemore created a backlash among some. They said he was trying to strip the party of its independence and make it an extension of the governor's office heading into the 2012 presidential election season.
Deal said Saturday he has "utmost respect for Sue" and explained the party needs to do more to reach newcomers.
"I'm grateful that Tricia Pridemore has stepped up," said Deal, and was greeted with a loud and sustained chorus of boos — along with some cheers.
He was forced to speak over the hubbub and wrapped up his remarks quickly.
"I will respect your judgment," Deal told the delegates before leaving the stage.
Following his speech Saturday, Deal told reporters it was "only appropriate" to speak up for Pridemore after encouraging her to run.
"You can't very well not back up people you support," Deal said.
For Deal, the vote raises questions about how much control he has over his own party, particularly the grassroots and tea party factions that lined up behind Everhart. He emerged as the Republican nominee for governor by a slim 2,500-vote margin after a hard-fought runoff last year. Deal is backing Newt Gingrich in the presidential race.
It was a busy day of stump speeches in Macon.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said the American dream is under attack from runaway debt, a stagnant economy and a Democratic administration forcing a legislative agenda that citizens don't want.
The radio show host and Godfather's Pizza CEO brought delegates to their feet, arguing that for Americans being No. 2 economically or militarily "is not in our DNA."
Gingrich delivered the keynote address Friday night.
U.S Sen. Johnny Isakson noted Saturday that the state is poised to play a high-profile role in 2012 with "two great Georgians" — Gingrich and Cain — already seeking the GOP nomination for the White House.
The rallying cry from speaker after speaker Saturday was the need to defeat Democratic President Barack Obama in November and keep the state in the Republican column next year.

Biz urged to blast DNSChanger Trojans before safety net comes down
Half of all Fortune 500 companies still contain computers infected with the DNSChanger Trojan, weeks after a FBI-led takedown operations targeting the botnet's command-and-control infrastructure. DNSChanger changed an infected system's domain name system (DNS) resolution settings to point towards rogue servers that redirected …
Words fail me
"at least 250 of all Fortune 500 companies and 27 out of 55 major government entities had at least one computer or router on their network still infected with DNSChanger"
And they wonder why they get repeatedly screwed overy by cybre criminals?
This is not a new infection for Christ's sake! The BOFH should be ashamed, or more likely the managers beaten with rubber hoses for not authorising/funding the BOFH to nuke such PCs from orbit and do something with a cattle prod to the user if they had a big part in it getting past the corporate security.
Why not...
Set the DNS servers to point all http requests at a "your computer is infected please contact your support department... click here for more info" type page. Give it another month before killing them.
Think about it
A user tries to browse the internet and is suddenly confronted with a message saying that their computer is infected with a virus and to click here to clean the infection... in other words, exactly what they would see on a website trying to infect them with FakeAV malware. Do we really want to train people to believe this stuff and click the links?
That's not what it says
"A user tries to browse the internet and is suddenly confronted with a message saying that their computer is infected with a virus and to click here to clean the infection..."
I recommend you read the suggestion you were responding to a little more carefully which was - "your computer is infected please contact your support department... click here for more info" - that's exactly who someone with an infected computer should be directed to. Yes people do need to learn not to trust any third party which informs them about an infection with whom no prior support relationship exists to carry out a repair, but that's not the course of action actually suggested here. Perhaps - "contact your support department or current anti-virus software supplier if you have one or your computer vendor if you don't" might be the most precise formulation , but for those with a limited attention span perhaps the advice suggested was better as it was likely to be clearer.
As long as it still says "click here for more info"
it is a bad idea because it trains users to do the wrong thing.
Besides, it would be FAR more effective to put up a nice big friendly message that says:
"This DNS Resolution server has been brought to you by the FBI who are NOT logging your IP address. Your request will be redirected in [countdown timer starting at 10] seconds."
Given they are providing a DNS service instead of the botnet doing it, why don't they simply redirect all web requests to a nice (official) page showing their IP, and what they need to do.
If the users don't believe it, they'll call their sysadmins, who should promptly sort it....
"The German firm, best known for its freebie security scanner software, has also released a free DNS-Repair tool so users can revert to the default settings of Windows with only a few clicks."
So this affects Microsoft machines then does it? Not really a surprize, I suppose!
had at least one computer or router on their network still infected with DNSChanger.
Do you see were it saws router ? When is the last time you have seen a windows router?
When is the last time you have seen a windows router?
About the same time I last saw a Windows server (which was years ago, fortunately for my sanity).
But I've been told some people out there still think a Windows box is a proper server, so I wouldn't surprised if they also used one as a router. Never underestimate this kind of people, I tell you.
Who are they helping by leaving the DNS servers up?
The sooner the DNS servers get turned off, the sooner the people who were infected will do something about it - you don't really think they're going to track it down and fix it before they're even aware that there's a problem, do you?
How exactly?
WTF are they doing allowing internal machines to perform Internet DNS lookups in the first place??
Internal machines and DNS lookups
> WTF are they doing allowing internal machines to perform Internet DNS lookups in the first place??
They don't, normally internal machines get their DNS settings from the local DHCP server, presumably DNSChanger adds a new entry in the local HOSTS file. Besides, according to this, DNSChanger can change DNS settings on the router.
"The DNSChanger malware is capable of changing the DNS server settings within SOHO routers that have the default username and password provided by the manufacturer"
It shouldn't matter what DNSChanger does to a client's local DNS settings: any decent sized company (say more than a hundred machines?) should be denying external DNS lookups at the firewall, and using internal resolvers and proxies to handle traffic to t'Internet. Common sense :-\
Common sense?
What's common sense got to do with it?
Setting up a properly functioning DNS server isn't easy, and in an already overworked IT-department, who's going to take on that task?
It's also common sense to use a login account that doesn't have administrative privileges, but you'd be surprised at how many users at large corporations or government agencies have full administrative access on 'their' computers. (And usually no clue as to why this is bad)
In most big organisations, IT isn't considered 'critical' enough to have it's rightful place in the hierarchy(directly under the company president) or even to have the necessary mandates to do their job.
I can pull the plug on ANY computer in my organisation if I believe it to be infected, knowing that I have the authorisation to do so, and that no two-bit 'king' of whatever deparment can overrule me.
And even if the CTO is nominally sitting at the same table as the CEO,
chances are he's still the red-headed step child of the CxO crew.
"a heightened risk of attack, not least because DNSChanger disables anti-virus software and security updates"
I wouldn't take it for granted that stopping updates to anti-virus software harms security...

The Asia Foundation's Governance programs support local initiatives aimed at strengthening the effectiveness and responsiveness of governance in Asian countries. Read Program Overview.
Theories of Change in Practice
Development experts across Foundation country offices are working alongside researchers from London School of Economics' Justice and Security Research Program (JSRP). Using the Theory of Change (ToC) approach to international development practice, the research collaboration integrates social science research findings into specific, tangible interventions for development practitioners. JSRP researchers have so far been hosted by Foundation country offices in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, Philippines, Cambodia, and Pakistan. Learn more about the research collaboration and working papers. Read a news release on the recent conference in London.
Over the past few decades under increasing pressures of globalization, Asian countries have faced extraordinary economic, social, and political challenges. A growing body of literature suggests that the single most important factor in the relative success of different countries in overcoming the challenges and improving development trajectories has been the quality of governance. The Asia Foundation defines governance as the institutions and processes through which the economy and society are regulated, public resources are allocated, and government decisions are enforced. In the coming decades, continued growth and stability will increasingly depend on steady improvements in all of these areas.
Projects and activities under the Foundation's Governance Programs are pursued within a wide range of areas, including: conflict management, counter‑corruption, decentralization and local governance, development of central executive institutions of government, legislative development, civil society development, media development, information and communication technology, and Islam and development.

text: The advent of Kindle may be a boon for techies and a fine way to carry around a library in your luggage – but it certainly takes some of the romance out of reading. What about the pleasure of turning a page, the dusty, nostalgic smell of old paper, the scattered notes and underlining left behind by past readers? If you're like me, you like nothing better than the feel of a heavy hardcover or a tattered paperback and half the joy of reading is gazing triumphantly at the stacks of conquered pages against the wall. Book darts are another bit of class and old school style that come in handy, the perfect accessory for the avid reader. The tip of the backside is bent upwards, which makes it easy to slide them over a page.
