Penn State coach Bill O'Brien held his weekly press conference at Beaver Stadium Tuesday, and much of the conversation revolved around the Nittany Lions' opening loss to Ohio.
FightOnState.com's Greg Pickel and Mark Brennan break down what O'Brien had to say about injuries, what went wrong vs. the Bobcats, hitting the road to face Virginia this week and more.
Below you will find the transcript of the press conference, provided by ASAP Sports.
Q. Can you give us an update on the injuries to Bill Belton and Stephon Morris and do you expect them to play Saturday?
BILL O'BRIEN: Those guys are day to day. They're both ankle issues, and they're not serious, so you know, again, we'll have to wait and see. Usually I'll try to -- if they don't practice by Thursday or Friday then probably they'll be out of the game, but right now I would say it's day to day. It's probable, but again, won't really know until Thursday.
Q. I'd like to ask you about Matt Lehman, the tight end from Pennsylvania. Can you comment a little on his development, and I was wondering if you thought he had a chance to play maybe a prominent role on the offense this year.
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, I think with regards to Matt, there's a lot of guys like Matt that really on offense especially that played on Saturday that really haven't played a lot of football for Penn State in the past. Matt was a guy that when we came here in the wintertime and then into spring practice, big, tall, long tight end that we thought could run. We thought he had some toughness, caught the ball pretty well, really hadn't played a whole lot, and he's a guy that has really improved and is going to continue to improve.
That's the thing: These guys that haven't played a whole lot, you think about on offense on Saturday, you've got Miles Dieffenbach, that was his first game; Donovan Smith, that was his first game; Kyle Carter; Allen Robinson caught nine passes, that tripled the amount he caught last year, I think; Shawney Kersey caught five balls, that was more than he caught all year last year. So you've got a bunch of guys on offense that played that hadn't really played a whole lot in the past. So you'll see with a guy like Matt Lehman and those other guys marked improvement hopefully as the season goes along.
Q. Sort of building off that, how much progress have you seen from Carter since the spring? How tough is it for a 19 year old to learn all the nuances of that tight end role?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, it's not easy, and he's a very instinctive player. Well, let me back up a little bit and tell you what a great kid he is. He's a guy that really cares about being good both on and off the field. He does a great job in the classroom, comes from a great family. He'll get better and better.
Again, like you said, he's 19 years old, so he's really only experienced six months of Fitzy's program, and then he goes out there on Saturday and has a productive game for us and really can't wait to practice on Monday because he knows how much better he can get.
There's a lot of examples like that all over the football team.
Q. What's your role in calling the defense on Saturday, and how would you assess how that process went against Ohio?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, I think my role is I'm the head football coach, so Ted Roof is the defensive coordinator, he makes the defensive calls, but I'm right there in your headset. I have the ability to change over from offense to defense and special teams, so I have a three way headset, so I'm on the line with Ted. Obviously as the head coach I can overrule things and things like that, but again, at the end of the day, Ted calls the defense, and I have a lot of confidence in Ted and the operation of how the defense was called, getting the defense in and the press box operation, all those things that go into the game I thought went smoothly for our first time out.
Q. How is the progress going for Akeel Lynch? How close was he to getting in Saturday's game? Do you expect him to play possibly this coming Saturday?
BILL O'BRIEN: Akeel Lynch is a guy that came in here as a freshman and really did some good things. He's smart, he's instinctive, and he's definitely in the depth. And so the decision you have to make there, just like with any freshman if you're going to play them, that's a true freshman, if you're going to play those guys, then you'd better actually play them. So we're going to see how practice goes this week with Akeel, and we'll make a decision on that later in the week.
But he's definitely a guy that we think has a good future here at Penn State.
Q. You'll be playing your first road game this Saturday. Given all that's happened in the off season, what are your concerns about the crowd being a little more hostile than normal, and what will you tell your players before going there?
BILL O'BRIEN: Well, I think that's a good question. I'll tell you, though, I've coached in games in Met Life Stadium in New York, I've coached in games in the Oakland Raiders' stadium, so I've been in some hostile crowds. I think at the end of the day we've got to be able to deal with the crowd noise, because having gone to Charlottesville many times at Georgia Tech and Maryland and Duke, it's a very loud home crowd, it's a great home advantage for Virginia, and we've got to do a great job this week of practicing with the crowd noise because that's the biggest thing, not what they're yelling but how loud they are.
Q. Now that you've had a chance to look at the film and kind of digest it, was there any -- how do you react to Saturday? Was there anything about it that surprised you that maybe was better than you thought? Is there stuff to build on there?
BILL O'BRIEN: There was nothing that really surprised me. There's a lot of stuff to build on. Usually close football games, they come down to eight or nine plays on both sides of the ball, especially in college football where you play -- in the pros it's about five or six plays because you don't have as many plays, but in college football I'd say about eight or nine plays.
We turned it over, they didn't turn it over. They converted on 3rd down in the second half on offense, we didn't convert on our offense on 3rd down in the second half. We had chances to break passes up, make interceptions. We had chances to hit guys that were wide open or catch the ball being wide open, and we did not make those plays and Ohio did.
Again, there's no excuses to be made there, but we have in many areas of our football team a young football team. In other areas a little bit more veteran team. So the veterans need to play better, and the younger guys are going to get better.
Again, I don't really want to look back too much, but Coach Solich has done an excellent job at Ohio. It's his eighth year there, it's his best team, and they came in and did a really good job, especially in the second half. We've got a lot to build on, a lot of good stuff to build on.
Q. Another one of the young players that you guys used a lot on Saturday was Nyeem Wartman. I'm wondering what you've seen in him that's impressed you so far.
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, that punt block that he had was just a tremendous effort. He just really was all out on that play, and that was really good to see. He's a guy that takes tremendous pride in his playing, and during training camp he with come and talk to me about how he knew he could play better and he's going to really practice hard to be better. He's a very, very good young player that's only going to get better with experience, and he's another guy that has a really bright future at Penn State.
Q. Wondering if there are any plans or at least consideration into playing Paul Jones some at Virginia, or right now would you just like to stick with one guy because everyone is getting used to a new offense?
BILL O'BRIEN: Right now we're going to stick with one guy. Paul has made a lot of improvement, but right now we're going to stick with one guy.
Q. You have a lot of walk ons and former walk ons in key roles. How important is that to kind of send a message to other prospective walk ons that you may be leaning on them in the future?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, that's a good point. That's something that we know is going to be important in the next few years is that walk on program, and Matt Lehman, who I was just asked about, is a great example of that, Derek Day. Those guys are great examples of guys that -- Derek Day, who played a prominent role, also, and Matt Lehman. So those are great examples of guys that were walk ons, and we call them run ons now. We've changed the name. We don't call them walk ons anymore, we call them run ons, and they're guys that have improved so much in their time here at Penn State, and especially in the state of Pennsylvania, high school players in the state of Pennsylvania can really look at that and say, here's a place that I've grown up loving, and I've always wanted to play at, and here's my opportunity to go play at and potentially earn a scholarship in my time there. I think there's no doubt that hopefully that resonates with kids in Pennsylvania especially.
Q. Why do you call them run ons?
BILL O'BRIEN: These guys don't walk, they run on the field, they sprint on the field, they bust their butt on the field. These guys are not walk ons, they are run ons. I know that goes against everybody's term for non scholarship players for the last 100 years of college football, but that's just our term for them.
Q. A couple of your guys this morning talked about not being able to stay in their emotions going into the second half last week. Looking back, do you think that was a factor, and how do you build on that going forward?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, you know, again, that's their opinion, and obviously I have a lot of respect for our players and their opinions. At the end of the day, we've got to go out there and execute better, coach better. We've got to put our players in better positions, and then our players need to go out there and make plays, and we have play makers that we know are here in this program that are going to play better. Again, I think it's football, it was an emotional day, but it came down to turnovers, 3rd down conversions, and that's what it usually comes down to in close games.
Hopefully we'll improve on that this week.
Q. With Saturday having been your first game as head coach, was there anything that caught you off guard about that experience or anything specific that you learned from the first game experience as a head coach?
BILL O'BRIEN: Nothing really caught me off guard. You know, again, like you said, it was my first game as a head football coach, and you're going to -- just with anything, the more experience you get, hopefully you get better and better, but nothing really caught me off guard. I tried to be as prepared as I could for the football game, whether it was time management or the opponent that we were playing. So nothing caught me off guard.
I was thrilled with the crowd, 100,000 people, and it was a pretty neat moment to run out in front of this crowd and lead the football team on the field. That was pretty neat.
Q. 48 passes and 22 runs on Saturday. Is that kind of what you anticipated it would be against Ohio? Is it what you wanted it to be?
BILL O'BRIEN: I think I've got to do a better job there. I think we need to be more balanced. We can run the football. We've got a tough offensive line that -- I think probably one of the units that played the best on Saturday was our offensive line, if not the unit that did play the best. You know, we've got to be more balanced, and that starts with me.
Yeah, hindsight being 20/20, I'd like to say we would not throw it 50 and run it 20, we'd like to be more balanced.
Q. How do you think your front seven played on defense, and what are some of the challenges they're going to face against Virginia, especially considering Virginia's size of tackle?
BILL O'BRIEN: Right. I thought the front seven did certain things very, very well. For instance, I think it's going to be hard to run up inside on us. Ohio had a couple runs late in the game, but for the most part, we controlled it tackle to tackle. I think when you're playing an athletic quarterback that's a quick passer, we've got certain things we can work on with our pass rush and things like that. When we have a chance to bat balls down or make a play, we've got to make those plays.
But I thought overall the effort was excellent. I thought the linebackers played hard. I thought they tackled pretty well for the most part. I just think that at the end of the day, it came down to 3rd down, and we've got to stop them on 3rd down, and then offensively we can help our defense by possessing the ball a little bit more and getting them off the field.
We had, I think, 76 plays on offense, and Ohio had 93 plays on offense. So we've got to do a better job of keeping our defense off the field.
Q. You have expressed a little concern about your punting game. You only averaged 35.8 yards. Are you worried about that?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, it's not good enough. I mean, everybody knows that. We've got a great kid there in Alex Butterworth. He's a great kid. He works extremely hard at it, but we've got to get better. We've got to get better there. We're going to work extremely hard every single day to get better at that because that's a field position deal.
And again, we went for it, I think, three times on Saturday, and I think we were 2 for 3, and that's okay on 4th down. But we've just got to continue to work on the punting, and we've got other guys that can punt, too, so it'll be a competition every single week just like it has been all during training camp. I think everybody knows that part of our team has to improve.
Q. NFL season starts tomorrow. I'm wondering how closely if at all you'll be following it, and will there be any nostalgia at all?
BILL O'BRIEN: I've got enough problems of my own, so I don't know how closely I'll be following the NFL season, but I definitely wish the New England Patriots luck. Great group of guys, got obviously a great head football coach in Bill Belichick, and I'm sure they'll really excited for the start of the season. They're playing a tough opponent, Tennessee Titans, led by a former Penn State All American in Mike Munchak, so that's going to be a tough game for them, but wish them all the best.
Q. You had mentioned the run ons, and I think I read an article that you're calling your scout team the dirty show. Is that all part of the philosophy of keeping these guys engaged through very difficult circumstances?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, to a certain degree, no doubt about it. But when we practice, we divide it up in different ways, so we have certain periods that are ones on ones, twos on twos, then we have other periods that are walk through type periods, then we have periods where we need a look, like we need the Virginia look this week, so we have the dirty show come in and do some of that.
We change things up, and we don't just go look teams the whole practice, so part of it is making sure that guys stay engaged. We've got a lot of guys that are on those look teams, that dirty show team that are in the game plan on special teams or offense or defense, so they're kind of doing double duty. But it's definitely part of the philosophy that we have here at Penn State of keeping everybody involved.
Q. Are you looking forward to getting this team on the road and just kind of getting away from everything and just kind of having that chance to just dial in on this game, and can you offer a little bit on Virginia, what you see from them?
BILL O'BRIEN: Sure. There's an element to that, just being able to get on a plane and go play at Virginia. But again, it's a very, very difficult place to play, so we've got to have a really good week of practice, you know, with crowd noise and all those different things we're going to have to handle, but there's an element of looking forward to playing our next game and being on the road.
Virginia, Coach London has done an excellent job of putting together his style of team. They're a big team, they're a physical team. There's certain units on the team that are veteran guys that play extremely hard. It's going to be a big challenge for us.
He's a guy that I've known for a while. You know, I don't know him well, but I know him enough to have a ton of respect for him and what he's done in his career, National Championship at Richmond and the type of team he's put together at UVA. So they've got big, strong athletes that are a physical football team.
Q. Does what happened Saturday affect much or at all how you guys will practice this week, because it kind of looked like you guys got tired in the second half. Maybe that's not right, but could you address that, some of the injuries and stuff?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah. When I watched the tape, I don't agree with that, and I respect your opinion, but when I watched the tape, I saw great effort. I saw plays that just -- we didn't make, whether it was maybe a run where we missed a cut or a pass that we didn't throw accurately enough or a route that we could have run better or a tackle that we missed. We had great coverage on a tight end, couldn't break the pass up, they jumped up and made a play on a pass, we didn't come up through the hands and make the play on it.
So I think it was more they made some plays and we didn't. I think our team is in pretty good condition, and I think it's more just making sure that we go out there and show the guys that, that it's a very fine line between winning and losing. It's the team that doesn't turn it over, it's the team that makes plays in critical situations that usually wins the game.
Q. And also your return game, last week you said it would be a week to week. Are you asking a lot or too much of Hodges for him to be back there with the number of plays that he has to play?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, probably. Probably right. We put him back there, and the reason why, he did an excellent job in practice. He's an excellent athlete, and he caught every one of them in practice. But it's a lot on his plate, and his main role is obviously as our outside linebacker. He might or might not be back there this week, but there was a lot on his plate, and I'll tell you, I accept responsibility for that. But we'll move forward and we'll find some guys that can return some punts.
Q. With you going into a hostile environment, is this a game you rely even more on your senior leaders?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, no question. You've got a group of guys there that have been in some hostile environments and know how to react, so yeah, we've got a really tough senior class, a mentally tough senior class, so we'll be leaning on them all year, no matter if it's home or away.
Q. You accepted a lot of the responsibility after the game. You said you had to do a better job coaching. Did they accept any responsibility afterwards or kind of step up as leaders, talk to the younger guys?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, no question, they feel bad about the game, but we've got to move forward to the next game, and they know that. They're frustrated because they watched the tape, and everybody sees on tape that there were plays that could have been made that weren't made, and there were coaching mistakes that we could have done a lot better job with, and so we're all a little bit frustrated. Couldn't wait to get back to practice yesterday. The guys came back ready to go, and that was a good sign, and we're looking forward to today's practice, and these seniors are really looking forward to trying to get back on track.
Q. You talked a lot during this press conference about the team needing to get better on 3rd down conversions, 1 of 12 in the second half against Ohio. What specifically does the defense do in practice in order to improve in that statistic?
BILL O'BRIEN: Well, again, we practice that just about every single day. They have to have a better awareness of the sticks, meaning understanding what the down and distance is, how much they need for a 1st down. They've got to understand when we call a pressure, where they're supposed to rush and what that might trigger in the passing game when we do pressure, meaning what the hot is, what the sight adjust is, things like that. It's just overall awareness, and our guys are going to get better at that, and it's a new system, it's a new year. Everything is new.
So again, I would expect us to definitely improve on 3rd down as the year goes on, on both sides of the ball.
Q. Is your depth or lack of depth in the secondary kind of why you guys haven't gone with the nickel yet, or is it the fact you've got good linebackers that can cover, and also with Morris kind of questionable is there anybody you're thinking about moving over to the secondary for depth from other positions?
BILL O'BRIEN: I'll answer the last one first. We're not going to move anybody as of right now to the secondary. Our 4 3 defense is an athletic defense. It's hard to substitute there if you think you've got some guys there that can cover in space, that's what you're going to go with because they give you the best chance to get people covered. I don't know if it's more -- I don't think it's from a lack of depth that we don't go nickel. I think it's more that we feel pretty good about the two outside backers that we have in Mauti and Hodges as far as their cover capabilities.
Q. If Belton is not able to go Saturday, what would be the plan at running back?
BILL O'BRIEN: We'd probably go with Derek Day, and then the other guys that will be ready to go are Akeel Lynch like we talked about, Zwinak, Curtis Dukes, those guys will be ready to go, Mike Zordich will be involved there, too.
We've got good depth at running back. Billy, obviously the ankle injury, you never like to lose a player like Billy. We think he's a really good player. But if he can't go, we've got plenty of guys there that can go.
Q. On Saturday a lot of guys were talking about how before the fourth quarter started Mike Mauti got a lot of the guys together and kind of gave them a good talk and everything. How much does it help the team to have a guy like that who kind of without asking just goes and will talk to the team and everything?
BILL O'BRIEN: Well, he's a tremendous leader. He's an articulate guy. He's been around for a while here. He really has a passion for playing football, and he loves Penn State. He comes from a Penn State family. He's just got great leadership qualities, and so a lot of times it can't always be the coach trying to rev you up, and when you have players like Mike that take control of that, that's a good thing.
I think that's what he was trying to do on Saturday.
Q. You saw a lot of Virginia teams from your days in the ACC as an assistant coach. What do you remember about some of those teams, and how does this Virginia team compare to some of them?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, the Virginia teams that we played in the mid '90s, early 2000s were very similar; big, tall defensive linemen, offensive linemen, big DBs. I saw Coach Poindexter on their sideline when I was watching tape of them. He was an excellent strong safety for them that was a very, very good player, big guy. They've got similar players.
You know, I think they've got a great home field environment, atmosphere. It's a loud place. Our guys got to be ready for that. But I definitely see some similar qualities of the teams that we played. We had great rivalries with them at Georgia Tech and at Maryland. We had great rivalries with them. We'd win one year, they'd win the next year. I can remember 51 48 games, 13 10 games, all kinds of types of games. It's a very, very good program, and Mike London has done a great job with the program.
Q. What are your thoughts about the different styles Virginia has with their running backs, and how do you feel your defensive line matches up with their offensive line?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, well, I think that you've got -- every good offense has that capability to have a scat type back and then a bigger powerful back, and that's -- those are some of the things that they have. I think, again, Coach Lazor does a great job with that offense of motioning and shifting and trying to keep people off balance with a lot of different looks; call it window dressing, but he does a really good job with that. And I think our defensive line will be up to the challenge. They're a good defensive line, and they can't wait to play. We've got to have a good week of practice, but it'll be a big challenge for them because it's a big front, and they've got some really good players on offense.
Q. Can you elaborate on Derek Day's role on this team, how he worked his way up the depth chart despite not having a ton of game experience?
BILL O'BRIEN: Yeah, that's another guy that didn't have a lot of experience coming into this year, and we noticed right away he was an excellent special teams player. He was on all four core special teams, so we knew he was going to be that. In fact, he was the special teams captain for us on Saturday; he was one of our three captains. As we watched him run the football in the spring, you could tell he had good vision, good cutting ability, he's a tough kid, caught the ball pretty well out of the backfield. He just is a guy that's shown a lot of improvement over the last six, seven months, and we have a lot of confidence in him.
Q. You mentioned Akeel might contribute this Saturday. The other freshmen who haven't seen the field yet, is it safe to assume that they're red shirting for this year?
BILL O'BRIEN: No, I wouldn't say that. I think maybe halfway through the season or so, if they still haven't played, it would be safe to assume they would red shirt unless we absolutely had to play them because of injuries or things like that. But no, I'd give it some more time on that.

I have visited "The Smoke" (as my husband and I call it) tons of times since it opened and all I can say is DELISH! I have never been let down and always leave stuffed. From the BBQ chips and blue cheese dip to the deviled eggs to the ribs and mac & cheese, everything is so gosh darn good that it can become habitual. And the key lime pie is awesome! My hubby is from Texas so we are terribly picky about our BBQ but "The Smoke" is our fave. The atmosphere is fun and laid back, the venue is attractive, and the service is great. If you have a hankering for ribs and sides, check this place out. Yum! Best BBQ in NYC. I also used them to cater my hubby's 30th birthday party at home. They took care of everything and the food was great. Big hit!

Always like Blue Smoke but hadn't been for some years, so I went for dinner over the weekend. While the wait was indeterminably long (an hour and a half!!), it was well worth it: the burgers were fantastic and the best I've had in that hood for quite some time. The jalapeno fritters were pretty delish as well. Get your arse there, but be sure to make a res in advance.

Ate at Blue Smoke last night. I don't get the popularity of this place. It's always mobbed and loud. I had the Memphis ribs which were incredibly bland, and the mac & cheese which was good until it got cold. I had a delicious Shiraz which turned out to be $9.00! I should have asked first.

My wife & I ate at here last night. Definitely try the pork ravioli but the sauce could have used more bite. My wife ordered the baby backs. In terms of meat-she was biting all bone. In terms of taste-they were bland. I went with the rib sampler. None of the flavors were that distinct and I too was diappointed with the amount of meat on the bones. Oh yeah, and absolutely nothing that came out of the kitchen was hot. We will probably not go back for the food but maybe for another pitcher of Abita Light (LA).

with the food or service. I love coming here and only here for the St. louis style ribs and sweet potato fries. They are bites of heaven. I will keep coming back.

With restaurant week I figured id give it a shot. the only reservation they'd give us was for 10:15pm We got there on time and were sat immediately, but also felt like we left immediately. it felt like we were being rushed out of the place. within 2 mins of ordering the starters were on the table, within 2 mins of finishing starters, the food was put on the table. and shortly after finishing and being asked if we want dessert the check was plopped down on the table and by 11:15pm we were in the cab going home!! Now on to the food... I had the toasted raviolis with shredded pork, they were decent but tasted much better with hot sauce instead of the marinara sauce. my girl got the pull and eat shrimp and had no complaints. Then for dinner i had the pulled pork platter w/ pit beans, mac and cheese, and collard greens. the pulled pork was very good. it was moist, fell apart, and had good flavor with the bbq sauce it comes with. the pit beans however, bear with me, literally tasted like baked beans and pork doused in Taco Bell Hot sauce. I mentioned it to my girl and she completely agreed, no good. The mac and cheese, like most people reviewed, was very good and i def recommend getting it. and the collard greens also were decent. So much to my dismay I more than likely wont be returning by my own choice. but if you have to go to find out for yourself like I had to, go with the pulled pork but sub the mac and cheese for the pit beans and you'll be happy. other then that you're on your own lol
Posted by foodie on 01/26/2008
My friends and I tried the ribs and there are MUCH better places out there, cheaper too. The ribs were dried, hard, and definitely not meaty. If you like chewing on bones, then this is your place. The only highlight of the day was the dessert. The hot fudge brownie sundae is to die for but for $7.95, it's way overpriced. For the price I paid for this meal, I could've gotten a lobster roll.

Zetta co-founder Lou Montulli may have the answer to this problem. Recently Lou combined his experience with browsers and storage in creating an open-source tool - a File System Visualizer (www.wheresmydiskspace.com) - for analyzing storage usage.
Lou was a founding engineer at Netscape in 1994 when he helped create the first commercial web browser Netscape Navigator. Over the years he's been responsible for the development of many browser related innovations, and co-founded Zetta.net in 2008 - where he continues to serve as VP of Engineering and Chief Scientist.
"The tool was conceived as a method for visualizing multiple aspects of any large file set: an existing file system, a backup or an archive," he says. "This can be a great tool to use if you find yourself running low on disk space and need to find files to delete to free up space."
The tool makes heavy use of the Data-Driven Documents JavaScript library together with jQuery, Dojo, PrettyPhoto, JavaScript and Scalable Vector Graphics. Sponsored by Zetta, all the source code for the File System Visualizer is available and a BSD license allows anyone to use it, commercially and non-commercially, free of charge.
Getting Started
Or you can:
- Click the link at the top of the page to take you directly to the visualizer.
- There you have three options: you can look at some sample data sets, use a Java applet to collect the data from your local machine and create a manifest file detailing what is in the file system, or you can load a manifest file created in a previous scan.
- If you choose to do a new scan, and there are a large number of folders, the software will prompt you to save the manifest to your disk rather than keeping it in the browser.
Test Setup
We recently had the File System Visualizer tested on a Windows 7 desktop with a third generation Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB RAM. The scan took approximately 5 minutes. When completed, a message came up that there were 52,993 folders.
The software can analyze a local disk, or an administrator can run it remotely on any mountable drive. At this point it runs on Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and OSX.
Visualizing Your Data
After running the scan, the software then presents seven different views of the data. The views are illustrated at the top of the page and you can click on any of the images to access that view of the data.
Summary Page - This showed that the test computer had 353.1 GB of data in 52,993 folders containing 364,931 items, with an average file size of 967.7 KB.
Visual Tree - This gives a hierarchical tree visualization of the data. On the left is a pull-down box where you can select to view the data by size, by type or by date. There is also a slider where you can select the tree display depth from one to seven levels.
Screenshot of the Tree View
Viewing by size shows a hierarchical view of the file system and the amount of data in each folder with up to seven levels of depth. To look at just the contents of a single folder, rather than the entire file system at once, just click on the dot next to that folder.
Viewing by type at the first level divided the data into known types and uncategorized. Going to the second depth level divided the uncategorized by their file extension and the categorized into groups such as disk images, games, database, software development, fonts, plugins, office types, settings, executables, media, backup and system. For most of those categories, going to the next level would give the file extensions, but some categories (media, office types and encodings) would further subdivide before getting to their final level.
Viewing by date, the first level divides the data into "1 year and older" and "within 1 year" and shows the GB of data in each category. Taking it to the second level splits the "within 1 year" branch into five levels and the "1 year and older" into each of the years for which you have data. There is no third level available.
Hierarchical List - This view presents the data in list rather than tree format. To get to deeper levels, click the + sign next to any of the categories. In addition to the file names, there are columns for Size in Directory, Total Size and % with children. When you click on the headers for the columns, up and down arrows appear, making it look like the data is sortable by those columns, but it isn't.
Flattened List - This is a sortable, non-hierarchical list of the folders. When viewing by Size, in addition to File Name, there are seven other sortable columns of data in each folder, including Size and Number of Items. The Type and Date views are similarly sortable. In none of these views can you look at a subtree, only at the entire file system. To view a subtree, go to one of the other views and narrow it down to the subtree and view type you want, and then click on the Flattened List visualization.
Your hard drive in "sun burst" view.
Sunburst - A type of pie chart, with rings showing each of the levels of depth. The chart can display each slice as an even size, or can adjust the sizes by the file count or amount of data in the slice. Clicking on any of the slices will move that folder or data point into the center circle, with the rings showing the subfolders or subcategories of that particular subdirectory.
Tree Map - A box type view of the data. As with the Sunburst, the boxes can be sized equally, or sized by data size or number of files. Clicking on any of the boxes will show the details within that subdirectory or data type.
Bubble Chart - This gives two layout options for showing the data: Bubble Chart or Circle Pack. The Bubble Chart shows bubbles for all the items in that category sized by the amount of data in that folder or file type. The Circle Pack presents a hierarchical view of the bubbles. In either view, clicking on a bubble or circle will give the bubbles showing the subcategories of that item.
The File System Visualizer is a quick and easy way to gain understanding of what's on your file system. It's intuitive to use and within minutes, you can start locating what is taking up disk space. Then you can delete or archive anything that is no longer needed, or establish policies to prevent wasted space. Then, if additional storage space is still needed, you can give management a clear visual presentation of how storage is being used in your environment. You can start visualizing your hard drive right now.

It's all the rage. Everyone is dancing the Harlem Shake and creating YouTube videos.
Advertising staff at the St. Augustine Record decided to get in the game and do the Harlem Shake during a workshop this week ... it is embeded in this blog.
According to web searches, the Harlem Shake dance originated in 1981 in Harlem, N.Y. In 2001, G. Dep released "Let's Get It" and the dance was performed in his music video.
In 2012, D.J. and producer Baauer released his song, "Harlem Shake" ... which became a free digital download by Mad Decent record label.

I worked at Risk Management Solutions full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
A majority of this depends on your manager
- A pretty fast pace work place and can learn and get things done depending on the size of your team and what you are involved in
- Can move up quickly if people above you leave or move to another group (which happens pretty often)
- You are given atonomy if you prove that you are an A+ employee
- Free snacks and drinks in the kitchens
- People in the company waste money like no other because there is no checks and balances, as long as your manager approves of it. (This can be a pro or con depending on how much you care about the company)
- If you are in with senior management, you are set and you can almost do whatever you want and not get fired.Cons
- The same work is done over and over and over again by different groups/people and is ultimately scrapped all together in the end which wastes everyone's time
- People move around all the time and generally are put in roles that they are not technically qualified for but since they know the right people, managers they turn a blind eye with regards to their technical skills
- People in middle management are there not because they were "promoted" but because people above them left. They are not given formal training which causes big issues in the end.
- There is not enough communication among different groups which causes information to be lost
- Compensation is way below average compared to the industry
- TOO MUCH POLITICS AT THE TOP!!!Advice to ManagementAdvice
Talented people are leaving left and right and no one is really doing anything about it.. DO SOMETHING! Get your act together before everyone leaves.
Stop trying to set unachievable goals just to appease clients. Develop a backbone and learn to say no.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Taxing sodas column misses the big picture
by For the MBJ
Published: October 26,2009
The column surrounding taxing soda and trans-fat spotlights an ineffective approach to fighting obesity and its health-related illnesses. The idea of a tax takes the attention from where we should be focusing, which is educating consumers on healthy consumption and promoting physical activity.
By focusing on sole items, we are missing the bigger picture. As a registered dietitian, I educate my clients that a healthy lifestyle is about moderation, balanced calorie intake and taking part in appropriate levels of exercise. After all, obesity is a multi-causal issue that can't be solved with a sliver bullet like targeting one food, beverage or ingredient. A solution to our nation's rising obesity rates will require comprehensive efforts to educate Americans about the importance of calorie balance.
As a consultant to the food and beverage industry, I know that taxing foods/beverages, under the means of promoting better health, has not been proven effective. Currently, two states that have imposed taxes on soft drinks, West Virginia and Arkansas, are among those with the highest obesity rates in the country.
Perhaps, by focusing our policies on promoting healthy behavior, rather than penalizing individuals, we will end up with a far more effective and sustainable approach to eliminating obesity and improving health in America.

Daimler AG recently announced its latest Mercedes-Benz will include some homegrown Long Island ingenuity.
The new Mercedes-Benz SL luxury roadster will offer the Magic Sky Control panoramic glass roof as an option. The Magic Sky Control feature uses SPD-SmartGlass technology, developed and patented by Woodbury-based Research Frontiers. The technology allows drivers and passengers to change the tint of their car's roof from dark to clear by pressing a button.
The Mercedes-Benz SL luxury roadster starts at $103,650. Adding the Magic Sky Control panoramic glass option adds $2,010 to the pricetag.
The roadster is the second Mercedes-Benz vehicle to offer the feature. Earlier this year, Daimler announced its Mercedes-Benz SLK would include the SmartGlass option.
Research Frontiers has had its SPD-SmartGlass technology featured in various projects in the architectural, aerospace and marine industries, along with its inclusion in automobiles. The Woodbury company said its technology not only alters the opacity of glass – allowing more or less light in – but also has heat-rejecting properties.

Kenworth earns environmental management certification
| April 24, 2008 |
Two of Kenworth Truck Company's manufacturing facilities have earned certification for environmental management systems. The Chillicothe, Ohio, and Renton, Washington, facilities have earned ISO 140001:2004 certification for effective environmental management systems established to build Class 8 trucks in an environmentally sustainable manner.
ISO 14001:2004 is an international standard that provides guidelines and requirements, and uses a third-party auditor to ensure a company's environmental management system is working effectively. The auditor for the Chillicothe and Renton facilities was conducted by SGS Systems & Services Certification.
"The facilities have successfully implement systems designed around the theme of 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle' to decrease emissions, noise and waste sent to landfills," says Marilyn Santangelo, assistant general manager for operations, Kenworth.

How to Save Money and Stress Less When Shopping for Gifts
It feels great to give gifts, though we could all do without the financial stress that comes with it. But finding great gifts does not have to be a source of anxiety if you take some time to plan and think through your gifting strategies. Here are some smart strategies for saving money on great gifts!
Before & After: A Bright, Budget-Friendly DIY Kitchen Makeover Under $1500
Tanya and her husband have been slowly updating and decorating their house on a small budget, just completing their remodel of their kitchen. In their previous home, they played it safe with design, concerned about resale. But in this home they did whatever they wanted, making some pretty dramatic changes in the kitchen that brightened and modernized the small space.
The Budget Bedroom Refresh: Tips Tricks, and Projects
Apartment Therapy Video Roundup
The bedroom is supposed to be a serene, relaxing space. Unfortunately, for a lot us that's far from the reality. Clothes pile up on the floor, and (if you're anything like me) things that don't really have a place in other rooms tend to migrate to the bedroom when you're cleaning up more public spaces in the house for company. And then those things tend to stay there indefinitely, so instead of climbing happily into bed every night, you're confronted with a stress-inducing pile of assorted junk. Or maybe your bedroom is perfectly neat, but it's just a bit... blah. That's where this video roundup comes in. We've got all kinds of tips, tricks and projects for refreshing your bedroom — and they're all things you can tackle this weekend.

10 DIY Decorations for a Grown-Up 4th of July
American Style
I've finally pinpointed why I truly love decorating for different holidays: it's a chance to play with tradition and to put my own spin on the traditional themes. This year, instead of reaching for the flashy red, white and blue glitter for Independence Day, I want to try a more sophisticated spin by using navy instead of royal blue. Read on for ten great ways to DIY your own, unique decor this July 4th.
The Look for Less: Emma's Bedroom on a Budget
Paint can be one of the most budget-friendly and impactful decorating decisions. The ceiling in Emma's bedroom imbues the entire room with cool, confident color, keeps the mostly white palette from being too staid, and sets the tone for the rest of the room's decor. To re-create this room on budget, check out the following finds.

Before & After: Backyard Patio with DIY Built-In Benches
Smitten Studio
Sarah, from Smitten Studio, and her husband, Rupert, recently bought a house in Los Angeles, and worked very hard to renovate it. With this big project complete, they now have the time (and space) to work on some of the smaller ones, like their backyard. According to Sarah, the corner of the yard pictured above was basically used as a dumping ground for old plants and furniture, and now with some custom built benches, paint and accessories it's another full living area.
Tips for Sticking to Your Budget: Getting Clothes Shopping Under Control
Sometimes getting a bargain isn't all it's cracked up to be. There are tons of tips out there for getting a deal on your clothes shopping — shop off season for coats and swimsuits, swing by the store on a Wednesday morning to scope out the new markdowns, use the department store's extra percentage off coupon, etc. Sure, these are great tips for saving money when you buy clothing, but not particularly helpful if you're buying up the deals willy-nilly without an eye to how these items fit into your life. I'm all for saving money, but sometimes shopping smart, and for the right items, is more of a savings than any trick for getting a bargain.

Bills' site initially published article on Marrone having cancer, then removed it before issuing a statement Aaron Wilson
The Buffalo Bills have issued a statement from coach Doug Marrone disclosing that he had a cancerous mole removed that won't prevent him from fulfilling his coaching responsibilities.
"During a recent doctor's visit, it was discovered that I had a cancerous mole on my skin, which has since been removed," Marrone said. "The only follow up required is to have my moles checked every 3 months and that basically is the end of the story. The recent extraction procedure will have no effect on my ability to coach the team moving forward."
Previously, there was a lot of confusion surrounding Marrone with the Bills' official team website posting an article that said: "Head Coach Doug Marrone announced today that he was diagnosed with BLANK TYPE OF CANCER. He says it's "not aggrive" and "highly treatable," along with a spot for a Marrone comment saying "QUOTE FROM MARRONE."
It was then deleted and the Bills had no comment for a long time before later issuing a statement from Marrone clearing up the situation.
Marrone went 6-10 last season in his first season with the Bills after previously coaching at Syracuse.

MONDAY, July 12 (HealthDay News) -- There is little difference in cosmetic outcomes for patients whose cesarean section wounds were closed by staples and those whose wounds were closed with subcuticular sutures, according to research published in the July issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Antonella Cromi, Ph.D., of the University of Insubria in Varese, Italy, and colleagues studied 123 patients who were randomized to skin closure after cesarean section with either staples or one of three types of subcuticular sutures. Scar appearance across the different approaches was compared.
At both two and six months, the researchers noted no differences in subjective or objective rating across the groups, as measured by the Vancouver Scar Scale, the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), and a visual analog scale. Patient assessment and objective scores correlated, most strongly between observer and patient pieces of the POSAS.
"The results reported herein show that in women undergoing cesarean delivery there are no long-term differences in cosmetic outcomes between stapled wounds and those closed with subcuticular sutures using different materials. Therefore, the final decision about the choice of method and suture materials should be made balancing patient comfort (e.g., not having to remove sutures) and surgeon needs (time saving with staples may not be of importance in an elective setting but may be more relevant in an emergency situation in the setting of a busy labor and delivery unit)," the authors conclude.
