Boeing delivers last C-17 to Air Force
Boeing has delivered the final C-17 produced for the U.S. Air Force, more than two decades after the mammoth and versatile transport plane was rolled out.
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Boeing Co. has delivered the final C-17 produced for the U.S. Air Force, more than two decades after the mammoth and versatile transport plane was rolled out as the Cold War wound down.
Military officials took delivery of the C-17 Globemaster III — the 223rd sold to the Air Force — during a ceremony Thursday attended by hundreds of workers at Boeing's Long Beach, Calif., assembly plant.
"It was a long run with the U.S. military, and it was a good run," said engineer Bob Grech, who joined the project 19 years ago.
The Long Beach assembly line, which employees nearly 4,000 workers, still has pending orders in the foreign market. Boeing's foreign customers include the United Kingdom, Canada, India, Australia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and NATO.
The massive, four-engine C-17 made its first flight in 1991, and U.S. military deliveries began about two years later. The plane is used to airlift tanks, supplies and troops as well as perform medical evacuations. It quickly became a war and disaster workhorse, prized for its ability to operate from basic airstrips and cover intercontinental distances with a full load without refueling.
With a payload of 160,000 pounds, it is designed to airdrop 102 paratroopers and their equipment.
After the ceremony, the Air Force's final C-17 took off, en route to Charleston Air Force Base, S.C. — re-creating the flight the first production model took when delivered in July 1993. As the crowd on the ground cheered, the aircraft looped around and performed a low flyover before heading into the clouds.
Rachid Ali, a Boeing avionics inspector who has worked with C-17s for a dozen years, recounted the plane's service in Bosnia and Afghanistan. C-17s outfitted as mobile hospitals were used to evacuate wounded military personnel during the Iraq war.
"It's an awesome airplane. Capability, reliability, it's above and beyond," Ali said. "The first 50 are still flying. After 25 years, you can refurbish them and they're as good as new. It's going to be in the air for years to come."
Design work on the plane began at the million-plus square-foot Long Beach facility in 1981, when it was a McDonnell Douglas facility. Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas in the 1990s. At least 250 C-17s have been built, at a cost of about $311 million each when research, development and construction costs are included.
Information in this article, originally published Sept. 12, 2013, was corrected the next day. A previous version of this story incorrectly referred to Canada being among the "overseas" customers for the C-17; those customers should have been identified as foreign customers.

The idea to make these popped into my mind when I made **Jubes** Quick Gluten Free Scones #220200 for the first time. Instead of cutting out scones I rolled the flattened dough and thought that actually I could have filled it. So I made a second batch of dough and made up my own version of cinnamon roll filling. I really liked that they were not overly sweet as the dough is not sweetened. As usual, I used rice syrup, but will suggest honey which might be slightly sweeter. Instead of the pine nuts you can of course use any other nut you like. I thought about pecans and maple syrup for the filling - if anyone feels like trying that, please tell me how it turned out!

Hartman: Wilfs Confident In Vikings Offseason PlanPosted by on April 9, 2012 – 7:08 am
Whether pursuing a stadium solution to keep the team in Minnesota for generations or acquiring players in an attempt to field a winning team, the Wilf ownership group has spared no expense since taking over the club in 2005. They've been aggressive-but-responsible stewards of the franchise, and they remain popular among the fan base because of that.
What's not necessarily been popular among the fan base, though, is the Vikings offseason approach. Coming off a 3-13 season, fans want to see instant improvement via the acquisition of big-name free agents that demand big-money contracts. Under the direction of GM Rick Spielman, however, the Vikings have taken a more calculated and long-term approach to rebuilding the team, choosing to build the foundation of the team through the draft while supplementing the roster via free agency.
And it's a strategy the Wilfs endorse.
"We're building through the draft and building in free agency in spots where it's needed," Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf told the Star Tribune's Sid Hartman. "But we want to do it the right way, and I think we're on that process. We're going to get ten draft picks coming up in a few weeks, and we're going to get a lot better through that."
The Vikings had 10 draft choices last year, and nine of those selections remain a part of the team. A similar success rate this year, including hits early in the draft with 6 selections in the first 4 rounds, will go a long way toward improving the roster.
While Spielman's approach is to lean on the draft as the main mechanism for acquiring talented players, Wilf told Hartman that the team is ready to write the check if the right free agent comes along.
"We're looking every day to get better, whatever opportunity will present itself," Wilf said. "We're not going to rule out anything, but we've got a process we're going through and we're going to do things in a way that's thought out with a plan, strategically, so we can be successful in the long term. If our general manager and our coach feel that a player is going to help us win, we will provide the resources to help us win, but we're going to do it the right way."

Wilf Ownership Group Seeking Clarity, Consistency In Naming Spielman GMPosted by on January 4, 2012 – 7:36 am
From the moment the Wilf family purchased the Vikings, they made clear their desire and intention to bring championship-caliber football to Minnesota. Through back-to-back division titles, a NFC title game appearances, losing seasons and winning seasons, the Wilfs and the Vikings organization remain on that quest.
On Tuesday, the Wilfs made a significant adjustment to the Vikings organizational structure by naming Rick Spielman as the team's GM. It's a move the Wilfs believe will help the Vikings achieve their primary goal – winning Super Bowls.
"We gave a lot of thought to the whole process," Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf said. "But knowing Rick and his body of work, and working with him so closely over the years, we felt that he was the right person for this position. We're very confident that he and Leslie together will bring us the goal that we and all the fans want – that's championships."
Spielman has been with the club since May of 2006 as VP of Player Personnel, with the responsibility of overseeing the club's pro and college scouting departments. In his new role, though, Spielman's charge is to oversee all football-related activities and operations as well as the pro and college scouting departments.
Coming off consecutive 6-10 and 3-13 seasons, the Wilfs felt a new protocol and method of operation was needed to put the team in position to succeed. There was no one or two events that transpired recently that prompted the Wilf ownership group to alter its organizational structure. Rather, the Wilfs surveyed the NFL landscape to see what has worked for other clubs and cross-referenced that with what they felt would work well in Minnesota.
"It was a process over several months, through the season," Wilf said. "As we got toward the end of the year, and we feel going forward to the future, looking at what's successful in the League, and what we need to do to get better, there needs to be more consistency, purpose and accountability that needs to be more clarified. I do think we have the right people, and we sat together as ownership and felt that this structure had to be clarified."
"Most importantly," Zygi Wilf added, "it's a long-term solution for the franchise. As Mark said, we've been successful in the past, but we felt that for the long-term progress and success of the ballclub, that the model that existed for successful teams (around the NFL) is the model we would follow."
Building and maintaining a successful organizational structure and model is nothing new for the Wilf family. Zygi Wilf leads an ownership group with the Vikings that closely mirrors the structure that has led the Wilf family to national prominence in their business ventures with Garden Homes Development, a nationwide leader in retail, commercial and private residential development.
"We wanted to take a hard look at how we can be better," Wilf said. "And we wanted to establish a clear organizational structure, and a consistency and purpose moving forward. We feel this is the structure and the move we need to make to get better as a football team and win championships."

C John Sullivan Signs Contract Extension With VikingsPosted by on December 17, 2011 – 3:16 pm
One of the biggest offseason priorities for the Vikings is no longer a priority. The team and C John Sullivan have agreed to a contract extension that will keep the 4-year veteran in Minnesota for the foreseeable future. Exact terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.
"We are very excited about the future of John Sullivan," Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier said. "He has quickly become a leader among the offensive linemen. John is having an outstanding 2011 season and he is a big part of why our rushing attack is near the top in the NFL. We are thrilled about having John as a member of the Minnesota Vikings for years to come."
Sullivan was drafted by the Vikings in the 6th round of the 2008 NFL Draft and has worked his way from special teams player and reserve lineman as a rookie, to the starting center on the 2009 team that went to the NFC Championship, to now being one of the best and most consistent performers along the line. Sullivan, 26 years old and a product of the University of Notre Dame, has appeared in 58 games, with 42 starts.
This contract extension will keep the battery of Sullivan and rookie QB Christian Ponder together, as the team tries to strengthen a young offensive nucleus that already includes Percy Harvin, Adrian Peterson and Kyle Rudolph.
Congratulations to Sullivan and the Vikings on getting this deal accomplished before the offseason. Keeping Sullivan in Minnesota is a good deal for both parties.
Statements from the Wilfs
"John embodies a true Minnesota Viking, on and off the field. He is a valuable member to our team and a key part of our future. This is a big moment for John, and the Minnesota Vikings, we are very pleased a deal has been reached." – Mark Wilf
"Over the last four years, John has contributed in countless ways to the Vikings organization. He has been very active in the community along with being a key member along our offensive line. John is a bright young man and we are fortunate to have him in the Vikings organization." – Zygi Wilf

Mankato Remains Home To Verizon Vikings Training CampPosted by on July 25, 2011 – 2:37 pm
There was a time when it looked as if Mankato-based training camp would fall victim to the NFL work stoppage. Fortunately, the NFL and the NFLPA came to an agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement in time to save training camp for the Vikings.
The Vikings announced on Monday, just hours after the NFL and NFLPA reached agreement on a new CBA, that the team would head down to Minnesota State University, Mankato for training camp, marking the 46th consecutive year that Mankato has hosted training camp.
"Hosting the Vikings training camp is an integral part of our community," said Mankato Mayor Eric Anderson. "For two weeks, our hotels, restaurants and bars are filled with thousands of Vikings fans. The citizens and businesses of Mankato welcome those fans back in 2011 and moving forward."
According to the Greater Mankato Convention & Visitors Bureau, approximately 60,000 fans from 28 states, Canada, England and over 100 different Minnesota cities attended last year's training camp. The annual event has an estimated $5 million economic impact on the Mankato community.
Credit goes to the city of Mankato and Minnesota State University, Mankato for their patience with the NFL's labor process. Mankato and the University are great hosts each and every year. Credit also goes to Vikings ownership, the front office and head coach Leslie Frazier because they realized the value in having training camp in Mankato, both for the community there and for the organization.
"We wanted to prolong our decision as long as possible in an effort to maintain our training camp tradition of practicing in front of Vikings fans in Mankato" said Vikings Owner and President Mark Wilf. "The Vikings appreciate the patience and flexibility shown by Minnesota State University and the Mankato community in making this work, and we look forward to returning to our training camp home in August."
Monday has been filled with a bunch of good news, and the announcement that the training camp tradition of practicing in front of fans in Mankato is perhaps the best news of all.

An Exciting Day For The Vikings ConcludesPosted by on January 3, 2011 – 6:15 pm
As disappointing as the 2010 season was for the Vikings, January 3 of 2011 represents an even brighter moment for the franchise's future. Leslie Frazier was named head coach and he'll look to guide the Vikings back to success.
The announcement came around 2:00 p.m. today and was followed by a 4:15 p.m. press conference that saw Zygi Wilf introduce Frazier as head coach. In introducing Frazier, Mr. Wilf mentioned that the Vikings new head coach is a natural leader and possesses the qualities necessary to be a successful head coach in the NFL.
Frazier then spoke with reporters and projected his excitement and ambition for his new job. Frazier said being an NFL head coach is a dream come true and he said the Vikings represented the perfect situation for him. This is significant because Frazier has been a candidate for several other head coaching jobs in recent seasons, so he's seen the gamut of situations. He thinks the situation in Minnesota is one in which he can be successful.
Following the press conference, both Frazier and Mark Wilf stepped into Sports Authority Studios for chats. We'll have those posted on vikings.com for you tomorrow. Frazier also spent time with Twin Cities media outlets and both Zygi and Mark Wilf met with a small group of reporters.
That basically caps what's been an exciting day at Winter Park. Be sure to check out vikings.com and now and tomorrow to watch Monday's press conference in on-demand format as well as those interviews with Frazier and Mark Wilf. Tomorrow we'll have more coverage and reaction of Frazier being named head coach as well as our normal postseason coverage.
For now, goodnight from Winter Park.

Vikings Reaction To Moss Addition Pours InPosted by on October 6, 2010 – 12:52 pm
Reaction to the Vikings acquisition of Randy Moss will likely continue to trickle in, so rather than come up with creative paragraphs to introduce each quote, we're just going to compile a working list of quotes.
We'll begin with a new one from RB Adrian Peterson, and then include the thoughts we've already placed on other parts of the site. As new players chime in, we'll add their quote to the top of this list.
Mark Wilf: "This is an exciting day for the Vikings organization and our fans. Randy has a special place in this organization's history and we're looking forward to his contributions going forward. It's important to add good football players to the roster whenever possible, and with Randy we feel that's exactly what we've done. We welcome him back to the team."
Jared Allen: "Awesome. That's the only way to describe it. He's a heck of a player. That guy is a beast."
Antoine Winfield: "I'm excited. I played one year with him here (2004) and he's a great teammate. He'll be great for our locker room. And he still has the skillset to get the job done."
Adrian Peterson: "It's a great move getting Randy Moss in here. We've just been missing something and I think he can give us another threat down the field. The opportunity to play with a guy like Randy Moss, one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game, that's a chance that doesn't come along every day. I've always been a fan of his and still am to this day. To have a chance to perform on the field with him and the talent that we have gathered here is pretty amazing."
Brett Favre: "This is an exciting move, I think everybody feels that in the locker room. It's rare you get to play with a future Hall of Famer and get to appreciate their talents up close. Randy Moss is a great player and his career speaks for itself. I've admired him from a distance for a long time and you can't help but be impressed by the guy."
Kevin Williams: "I think everybody was a little surprised when they heard the news, but I think it's a good move. It will give us a spark and open some things up. Randy's a guy who has always worked at his craft and I think that has showed over his whole career. He's been successful and been a part of winning a lot of games. He's one of the most competitive guys I've ever played with and I'm happy to have him back with us."
Brad Childress: "We feel very good about the opportunity to add a player of Randy Moss' caliber to this football team. He is a tremendous competitor and was an integral member of the Vikings organization from 1998-2004. Once again, ownership was completely supportive of our efforts to add a valuable football player to our team. I know the entire organization is thrilled to welcome him back to the Twin Cities and look forward to his contributions."

Vikings Invite Local Kids to Training Camp for Food, FunPosted by on August 3, 2010 – 7:04 am
It's been a busy 5 days of training camp for the Vikings on the field, but that hasn't stopped the club from continuing its community initiatives off the field.
After Monday morning's practice, the Vikings invited 60 local kids to enjoy a VIP viewing of Vikings training camp and share a healthy lunch with Vikings players as the team wrapped up the 2010 Vikings Children's Fund Summer Lunch Program, which was presented by Target. In addition, Second Harvest Heartland presented Vikings Owner Mark Wilf with a Hunger Hero Award, an award the organization initiated this spring to recognize its charitable partners who demonstrate an extraordinary effort to meet the unprecedented need for emergency food.
Several Vikings players, such as WR Bernard Berrian, P Chris Kluwe and RB Adrian Peterson, were also on-hand to interact with the kids.
The USDA's Summer Food Service Program provides free meals at pre-approved meal sites to hungry children during the summer, but participation in the program is extremely low. In fact, while approximately 293,000 Minnesota school children receive free or reduced-price meals during the school year, only about 20 percent of them receive meals during the summer.
The 2010 Vikings Children's Fund Summer Lunch Program, Presented by Target, is helping to provide up to 500,000 additional meals for hungry Minnesota children this summer through a $300,000 donation that has helped increase visibility of the Summer Food Service Program and meal sites around the state. ConAgra Foods pledged an additional $100,000 to the program to support current Summer Food Service Program sponsors and sites.
Last year, the Vikings Children's Fund Summer Lunch Program secured more than 200,000 additional summer meals for kids in need and this year the program is being supported by an innovative visibility campaign that has been recognized as a national model by the USDA.

Zygi Wilf Addresses ReportersPosted by on August 18, 2009 – 6:55 pm
The man literally responsible for getting QB Brett Favre to Minnesota today spoke to reporters following the introductory press conference.
The effort to land Favre was collaborative among the front office and Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress, but when the time came to actually get Favre to Minnesota, ownership stepped in.
"My brother, myself and my son went down to Hattiesburg to pick up Brett and his wife," Wilf said. "We had a great conversation coming up here and realized what a down-to-earth person he was. And we realized more so than ever that he'll be a great fit for our team.
"We felt the opportunity was now to do it," Wilf said. "We did not want to go in the future and say 'What if?' In speaking to Brett, he felt the same way. I think the fans and everyone should be quite excited about how our team keeps improving. We will do our best to fight for our division and hopefully be that consistent championship-caliber ball club that we hope to become."

Vikings Ownership Tours Lucas Oil StadiumPosted by on August 14, 2009 – 6:14 pm
Vikings owners Zygi, Mark and Lenny Wilf, along with various other members of the Vikings front office and staff, toured Lucas Oil Stadium prior to tonight's game. Colts Senior VP Pete Ward gave the tour, which included a viewing of the stadiums several suite levels and Lucas Oil Plaza.
The Colts are entering their 2nd year in Lucas Oil Stadium, and the facility is impressive. As the tour was going on, the stadium's roof was being retracted and the group enjoyed a view of downtown Indianapolis through a panel that was opened on one end of the stadium.
We'll have a more comprehensive report of the stadium tour later this week on vikings.com, including video footage.

Zygi Excited to Defend Division ChampionshipPosted by on July 31, 2009 – 6:12 pm
Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf have been in Mankato the past couple of days to watch their team open training camp, the 4th camp under their stewardship and the 1st time they've opened a season as the reigning division champions. Zygi took several minutes today to interupt his practice watching to speak with local reporters, and vikings.com was there to listen in on what the Vikings owner had to say.
The conversation began when Wilf was asked about his reaction to how the Brett Favre situation ended. Wilf reiterated the message Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress conveyed earlier in the week, saying they had no regrets looking at a Hall of Famer and that they were very happy with the current players on the roster.
"It's very exciting being out here, to be coming back this season as division champs," Wilf said. "The talent out there is great and the competition is going to be great. We look forward to a great season this year; there are a lot of things to look forward to."
From Wilf to Childress to any player that has been asked about camp so far, the theme has been competition and how much of it will exist at this year's camp. In addition to the intra-squad competition for 53 roster spots, the Vikings are also excited to compete with those outside of their club. Most notably, they are exited to be able to defend a division title in 2009.
"I have great expectations," Wilf explained. "Again, we fought hard last year, came back many times when people doubted us and we did it with different combinations with different guys injured. To have those guys come back healthy for the most part and be able to start off the season as division champs, we look forward to holding onto that and doing better things."

Orton may be No.1, but there is a lot of football to play. Matt Bowen
When coaches talk about depth charts in early July (especially during a work stoppage) take them lightly—and don't buy the hype. If anything, it is more of a formality, an outline for the first day of practice.
ICOOrton may be the No.1 QB in July, but don't forget about Tebow and Quinn just yet.
That's how I view the depth chart that John Fox showed to Woody Paige of the Denver Post. The new Broncos coach listed veteran Kyle Orton on his depth chart in that No.1 slot in front of Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn.
However, this looks like a true competition at the NFL level. No favorites like we see in most pro camps. Instead, go out and compete for the new coach. A situation where these QBs will have to treat each practice, film session and correction period as an interview.
And with the lockout continuing to press on, each day will be an opportunity for Orton, Tebow and Quinn to work with coaches they haven't spent time with on the practice field.
I can't disagree with Fox handing the ball to Orton on that first day of camp. That makes sense. Give the huddle to the most experienced veteran and see what he can do.
After that? An "open" competition where QBs share reps and get even time with the first unit on offense before the coaching staff forms a plan for the first preseason game. Number of reps, play calling, etc. Because then it comes down to production and what we see on tape.
Camp battles are great to watch. I've been in a few myself just to make the opening day roster. They require players to show up and be accountable on every rep in practice—and then do it all again the next day. There is no such thing as a day off when you are competing for a starting job at this level.
That is what we should expect out in Denver when camp (hopefully) begins and rolls into August. But like I said above, don't worry about the QB depth chart for the Broncos right now. Orton may be the No.1, but Tebow and Quinn will get a shot to take over that top spot once we can settle this lockout and get back to real football on the field.

Posted Tuesday, July 24, 2012 --- 6:35 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A new report says Wisconsin lost more than 10,000 construction jobs in the last year.
The Associated General Contractors of America says the state's construction employment dropped about 11 percent from June 2011 to June 2012. Only Alaska is worse with a 20 percent job loss in the construction industry.
The trade group's chief economist, Ken Simonson, says private sector demand for buildings is up in most states, but single-family home building is spotty and public investments in construction are shrinking.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/ME802c ) reports Wisconsin got hit harder than some other states because of its shorter construction season.

It may seem counterintuitive, but sometimes getting lost in a field of corn can actually be pretty fun. That's the theory behind Sever's Corn Maze, the oldest of its kind in the Midwest. Husband-and-wife team Sever and Sharon Peterson created their first maze in 1997 after taking some inspiration from European garden mazes commonly found on castle grounds. This year's theme is agriculture, and there will be fun facts posted at various points inside the maze. There will be plenty to do once you make it out as well, as the festival also hosts live music, barn animals, a pumpkin patch, pig races, a straw bale maze for kids, and the corn pit, where folks can sink themselves into a pool filled with 10,000 bushels of corn. Tickets to the maze stop being sold an hour and a half before closing each night. $13. 1 to 9 p.m. Fridays; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.

The Would-be Guru: Inspiring Online Credibility (Part 2)
Posted By Jeff Sexton On October 23, 2007 @ 12:03 pm In Articles,Copywriting,Relationship Building | 4 Comments
Ponder that word for a minute. Better yet, think of a field-specific guru whose views you value and ask yourself this: What distinguishes your Guru from just another professional in that field?
What causes one to inspire so much more credibility than another?
The ancient Greeks had a word for that trait: thumos. Want cult-of-personality-like persuasive ethos and credibility? Create thumos through your web copy. (In my last article, The Aristotle Code [1], I warned you that I was on a high-brow kick, so bear with me. This is actionable stuff.)
The secret to creating thumos is quietly revealed in Jonathan Shay's one-page essay, Aristotle's Rhetoric as a Handbook of Leadership [2]. Dr. Shay is a psychiatrist, a recent MacArthur Foundation Fellow (aka "genius award") honoree, and author of the acclaimed Achilles in Vietnam. Here's what he writes about thumos and credibility:
. . . I want to connect the old Homeric word thumos to what I now want to say about character. This word is most often translated by the single word "spirit." In modern times this has become rarified [sic] and if you forgive the play on words, spiritualized, so that we lose the sense that is still preserved when we speak of a horse as spirited or an argument as spirited … I want you to listen to Aristotle's explanation of thumos … He says, "Thymos is the faculty of our souls which issues in love and friendship … It is also the source … of any power of commanding and any feeling for freedom."
The spirited self-respect that Homer called thumós becomes particularly critical to leadership in a combat situation. To trust the leader, the troops need to feel that the leader is his or her "own person," not a slave. In combat, trust goes to the leaders who give critical obedience, rather than blind obedience, to their own bosses.[3] A leader giving blind obedience to a militarily irrational or illegal order gets the troops killed without purpose ["wasted"] or irretrievably tainted by commission of atrocities.
Now consider this in terms of thought (rather than combat) leadership, and substitute "conventional wisdom" for "bosses." Here's my re-interpretation:
Online visitors need to feel that the company is its "own person," and not a slave to conventional wisdom or textbook answers. In purchasing situations, trust goes to the company whose website gives critical analysis, rather than blind obedience, to industry or conventional wisdom.
In short, a Guru sings her own songs; she doesn't perform Karaoke to someone else's. She teaches her own stuff, and, even if her material originated elsewhere, she'll have made it her own through experimentation, reflection, and practical experience; she'll have her own "take" on a given subject. This is what creates thumos for a thought leader.
So, how do you inspire thumos with web copy?
First, you needn't establish entirely new methodologies or procedures. It's enough to have…
The fist two points establish credibility for your expertise, but the last one leverages that expertise into guru territory. Engaging in this kind of "spirited argument" reveals your thumos by:
Find some tidbit of common wisdom that you disagree with, then publicly set the record straight. It even works when you agree with the original wisdom but quibble with a now-common interpretation of it. Here's how to really make that work:
1) Find a polarity that's charged but not worked to death. Two examples I've used are Pain [3] vs. Gain [4] and Logic [5] vs. Emotion [6].
2) Carefully consider the merits and advantages of each side rather than coming down on one side or the other. Note in which contexts one side works and in which situations it fails, then do the same for the other side. Find examples. Make some of your own conclusions, and do your best to distill them into actionable guidelines.
3) Explain your insights and conclusions to your potential audience. Obviously, where you can best do this will vary, but here are some options to consider: Write it up to be published in an industry journal, then refer to that published piece in your web copy; Post it on your blog; or, Work it into the web copy directly, either in some "how to" pieces created for customers earlier in their buying process or in other persuasive pages.
4) Name the sources of the positions you are challenging or amending. And do them the courtesy of notifying them – send them your piece and invite comments. As long as you have legitimate insight to add to the discussion and you are honest in your dialog, your invitation stands a solid chance of being accepted.
Voilà. You're now engaging in dialog with some of the heavies in your industry. And even if you're not actually exchanging with them directly, you'll have created the appearance of dialog. Get other followers to hear you out and the gurus may be forced to respond.
[Author's Note: Short of actually being a guru, those are the best of the best ways to create thumos in your web copy. The other two are: 1) Writing copy that attracts the relational customer; and 2) Weaving an over-riding passion into your copy that speaks to the visitor's character and aspirations. But don't worry, I'll provide you with a solid how-to for these other techniques in my next post.]

If you've seen them on the infomercial you'll know that they're a 50's music collection from Time Life. It comes with 18 cds or 150 songs in total that come in a collectors box. You can buy 10 to get you started and add the extra 8 cds to the collection as a bonus. Please note that I have heard that they actually advertise the collection as being from the 50's but most of the songs are actually from the early 60's and only a handful are from the 50's.
Summary of Consumer Comments
- Most listeners can listen to these songs over and over and never get tired of them.
- Great listening entertainment for relaxing around the house.
- The songs are all digitally remastered and you won't be able to tell the difference from the original recording.
- Time Life did an excellent job of picking the best music selection from the original artists.
- It's great to have these old songs at your fingertips because its hard to find all of them on the radio. It's also expensive to buy all the songs separately in order to make your own collection.
- All the song lyrics are on the inside leaf of the CDs.
One comment I heard....Yes, there are a few "off the beaten path" tracks here, but that's what helps the collection from becoming too predictable. I enjoy a surprise or three in a collection.
- Most of the songs are from the early 60's and only a scattering of 50's songs. So if you're looking for strictly 50's this may not be for you.
- The songs are not in chronological order.
- One [tags]malt-shop-memories[/tags]listener mentioned that the music recordings seem to stop abruptly at the end of the song and she actually admitted she wouldn't have bought the set because it takes away from the enjoyment. This may not be how you remember the songs to be in their original state because the original recordings did not stop abruptly but gradually lead out and then into another song.
- Be aware that there are always two hits per cd that you may never have heard before. Some found it annoying while others thought these new hits were a welcome surprise.
Malt Shop Memories is one gift I'm thinking of giving my mom for Christmas! The set originally sells for 10 cds at $150 but you can add 8 more for a total of 18 cds. Thats a wopping 274 songs and you get the free shipping. They can also break up the payments into 5 instalments which I thought was kind of nice!

September 6th. It's not that far away.
That's when Michigan State travels to Eugene to battle the Ducks, and while they are "merely" a Big Ten team, they did beat Stanford, who in turn beat Oregon last year. Schematically on defense, the Spartans have the ability to go toe-to-toe with Oregon – just like the Cardinal did to the Ducks.
This article is a continuation of my last one, which detailed how the Cardinal dismantled Oregon's pass protection schemes. Here you'll see exactly how Michigan State attacked Ohio State's pass protection last year in the Big Ten title game, and you'll see a lot of similarities compared to last year's Oregon-Stanford matchup that may make Duck fans shake in their boots a bit.
Michigan State's Base Defense
Unlike Stanford, Michigan State is in a vanilla look much of the time as a 4-3, Cover 4 team. For those of you who play Madden, Cover 4 is not a prevent defense in the real football world. It's a terrific run defense, and against traditional I-formation teams, it gets 9 men in the box. It also typically gives a defense one extra defender and there are several small tweaks to amplify it.
Versus some spread looks, they typically end up in a 4-2 or 4-1 box, meaning they either move an outside linebacker out to cover a receiver or they substitute a nickel or dime defensive back.
Now they do some stunting, but this look allows them to play fast against the run. They play Cover 4 (in one of the many variations of it) behind it, and they fly to the football. In "neutral" situations, where it could be a run or pass depending on the game scenario, expect to see Michigan State in this look and coverage.
At this point, the average fan is probably thinking that this is totally different from Stanford's game plan, as the Cardinal ran a 3-4 defense. They stunted, and they showed different looks.
However, when the defense sits in this look over and over again, the defense knows exactly how the offense will setup their pass protections. Sure, there will be some variations, but that means that Michigan State knows the probable blocking schemes.
That means when they stunt, as we'll see, it shocks the offense and puts blockers on their heels. It also means that Michigan State can get prime matchups with blockers and overload the weakest parts of the scheme the offense has chosen to use. This is the same core philosophy as Stanford, except in this base look Michigan State does it post-snap completely, where Stanford did it both before and after the snap.
Look at how Michigan State drives both the center and running back into the backfield with their linebackers, thus the QB cannot step up. If you notice, as well, their ends are "caging" the QB, meaning they're squeezing the pocket while keeping contain. This means that when the QB goes to scramble, they'll be right there for the sack.
There is so much pressure initially right up the middle that the QB misses the wide open receiver at the top of the game film. This type of blitz is lethal to spread play-action passing teams, especially with QB's who hold the ball a bit long. So while the execution is slightly different (so far) from Stanford's game plan, Michigan State attacks the same weaknesses with a similar, though different mindset.
Michigan State's Pass Pressure Defense
I don't want to sell Michigan State short by calling their defense "vanilla." They have a nasty stunt package for passing situations, too. It's a 3-3 look, but it's not a stack defense like we saw in the early 2000's. In fact, it's basically the opposite, as the linebackers usually line up across or near an offensive linemen. What stays the same, though, is their basic Cover 4 coverage principles.
So there is obviously some running possibilities here, but the offense has no idea what stunt they're going to get and it's probably 2nd- or 3rd-and-long. Note that No. 40 starts over the nose and moves around.
In this play, Ohio State runs "half-slide" pass protection that converts to "full-slide." What does that mean? Full-slide protection is full zone protection to the left of the picture, with the back picking up the edge rusher on the right.
Half-slide means that it's a mix of man blocking and full-slide, which in turn means that the tackle and the back are man blocking the edge (on the right side of the image). However, if the defensive end comes inside on the offensive tackle, it converts to full-slide. You can tell this is the case because the tackle steps out before stepping in.
The Spartan defensive end on the right of the image, (No. 44) goes up field before stunting inside. This makes sure the tackle takes him and not MSU's No. 40. The Ohio State running back, needing to make a split-second decision, assumes their tackle will take Spartan No. 40 and pass the MSU No. 44 responsibilities to the Buckeye offensive guard. So that means that the running back takes No. 43, which leaves No. 40 wide open for a big play.
This means Ohio State sent 5 to block 3 to the left of the picture, of which is a very similar problem that Stanford caused for Oregon. In addition, what the Buckeyes did is similar to Oregon's pass protection scheme used against Stanford, which is why this example is very interesting.
Oregon's Hope
Oregon's probably broken this tape down several times, and they know what they're going to see from Michigan State. Luckily for them, if they can manage to protect, they're going to hit some big plays down the field. Also, knowing they struggled versus Stanford in similar ways, they're probably going to have some adjustments. Worst case scenario, if they do struggle in the Michigan State matchup, they'll be that much more prepared for Stanford.
Besides just the pass protection, the weakness of Cover 4 is play action. While the #1 (or most outside) receivers to each side are usually hard to hit routinely versus Michigan State because their cornerbacks are essentially in a unique version of press man coverage, the out routes and crossing routes by #2 (or slot) receivers are open frequently.
Michigan State plays a unique version of Cover 4. Since the Spartans press the #1 receiver with their corners, the MSU safeties and linebackers must respond to the bubble route, and a lot of teams try to use out routes like these on Michigan State. Ohio State did it repeatedly early on but had limited success in many cases. Oregon is definitely a better team in that area of execution, thus interesting to watch for.
Do note that because the Michigan State safeties are taking any vertical routes by the #2 receivers, they have to actually matchup with them in speed and coverage. If a good play action concept holds Michigan State's linebackers off of Oregon's slots, then the safeties are one-on-one with Oregon's more athletic receivers. This strategy has burned Michigan State in the past. The Spartans are very physical against slot receivers, so those players need to be ready to take a hit and not be scared if they get knocked around a bit. They must continue to run their route at full speed.
All of this does, however, work into Michigan State's ultimate game plan, where they want to get the opposing QB used to holding the ball too long and come after him. The Spartans will want to eliminate the short, quick passes by Oregon and force low percentage deep throws. If the Ducks are able to hit the deep throws or if Michigan State knows that Oregon needs to be throwing on 3rd-and-long, then MSU will go to their pressure package to attack the QB. But if Oregon can cause some personnel matchups by getting their burners on the Spartan's safeties, this might be a moot point.
Overall, I'm very excited for this matchup and you should be too, as it will be a terrific chess match.
Thanks again for reading. If you're interested in learning more about this style of defense deployed by Michigan State, check out my e-book on Quarters Coverage. I also cover the topic fairly regularly over at Strong Football.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by ddmrko
RAW Preview 7/10/06
This week RAW emanates from the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas and the WWE will present a Texas-sized edition of Monday Night RAW. Announced on WWE.com earlier in the week, Vince McMahon will have 3 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS to make. The first will be regarding the next match-up for the WWE Championship. The second will be regarding the group he just cant seem to get a one-up on, D-Generation X. Mr. McMahons third and final announcement will be in regards to his son Shane McMahon. Last week on RAW, a bloody Shane through his father into a steel cage with The Game Triple H and The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. What will Mr. McMahon have to say about his sons betrayal?
Last week, Carlito and Joey Mercury battled Shelton Benjamin and the Intercontinental Champion Johnny Nitro to a double disqualification. This week the two teams battle in a No Disqualification Texas Tornado Tag Team Match. Will the amazing athleticism of Benjamin and Nitro be enough to combat the pure hatred that Mercury and Carlito have?
Also this week on RAW, two bitter and beautiful rivals will finally go one on one. Trish Stratus and Melina have been brawling and giving insulting comments to each other for weeks. This Monday Night the two beautiful divas finally get each other in the ring. Will Trish Stratus prove she is STILL the golden standard for divas in the WWE or will Melina prove that a new era is dawning on Monday Nights? And will the Womens Champion, Mickie James have anything to say about his potentially explosive match?
For weeks on end, Kane has been haunted by visions of his famous mask. Last week, Paul Bearer appeared on the titan-tron and told Kane that in two weeks he will see into his past and his future. So on 7/17, during the 3-hour edition of RAW, Bearer will explain it all to Kane but will Bearer have anything to say to Kane this Monday Night?
Mick Foley hasnt been on WWE television since Vengeance where he bloodied the legendary Nature Boy Ric Flair. Will Foley be on RAW this Monday Night? And if so what will he have to say about his attack on Flair?
All of this on RAW, this Monday Night! 9/8 CT.

- MichelleDined on 11/14/2014We were disappointed that happy hour did not extend to the tables.... It was only available at the bar. Place was empty at 6 on a Friday...allowing all to have happy hour deals might help.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/10/2014Glad to respond. I live in Rocky River but I come to the Eastside and visit my high school girlfriends we always eat at the CedarCreek.

- Food needs improvementJackieDined on 11/6/2014This is a newish restaurant, when they first opened the food was great! Has slowly gone down hill. Salmon usually tastes on the verge of spoiling....veggie burger is like crumbling sand.....French fries cold and unseasoned....awful coleslaw. However it is a Fun place! Servers are great! Music fun! Ambiance lovely!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/2/2014It seems to be a pattern that we get seated in the least desirable area using Open Table. An example was last Sunday at 7:00 at Cedar Creek when the restaurant was not crowded. We were taken into the closed-in patio area and seated next to the screen. There was a tear in the screen which allowed air to penetrate. To mitigate this situation the ceiling heater was blasting causing our area to be uncomfortable. We mentioned this to the server and he turned down the heat but it came on later during our dinner causing the same problem. We won't use open table for future reservations. This situation colored our experience in an unfavorable manner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentTtodineVIPDined on 11/2/2014This is a true Cleveland spot with great landmarks of CLE hanging throughout. Went there for Moyher's Day brunch and again recently; very consistent with great tasting food and nice wine selection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- beautiful ambianceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/2/2014Went for Sunday brunch & although it wasn't very busy, service was incredibly slow. Menu was diverse, so we may return for a special occasion. Food was ok, but a bit pricey.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okayDatenightDined on 11/1/2014I had lunch here and it was amazing. This time we arrived ten minutes before our reservation and were told the table wasn't ready, no problem. Instead we were put at a table that was open the entire time but told by the manager that 5-6 other couples moved from because of the draft. The a/c was blowing right on us. Why would you keep putting people there when there where other available tables? Anyway, the food was lack luster for spending over $130 (we had a bottle of wine recommended by our waitress that was excellent.) I think this was a one and done experience for us....Special Features:
- K.T.KTofPADined on 10/29/2014The food was excellent and nicely presented. Will definitely go back. Service was great too! Split Cobb salad and BLT w fries with my companion - generous portion.Special Features:

- Local eatspjeanVIPDined on 10/27/2014Enjoyed the prixe fixe vegan selection of stuffed cabbage, flatbread, and pear sorbet dessert. Service was outstanding as the chef himself visited our table and welcomed us! A great time was had by all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Less Than StellarMrsSiasDined on 10/25/2014The atmosphere is attractive and engaging. The menu options are interesting and varied without being too adventurous. The bar is well appointed. There was just nothing special about thisnplace. The food was fine. Not delicious, not bad. Our server was not terribly efficient and not too well informed about the menu. He was very nice and checked on us regularly. Not a bad server. Not great. He just didn't seem to know what anything was (eg. the sauce on the fish, Hendricks gin, etc.). Again, not bad necessarily. Just nothing special.
- Enjoyed the food and service.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014We enjoyed the food. We like it because it is close to our home. But we found it to be extremely noisy and loud. The service was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- susiedineOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/24/2014Arrived with my husband and was provided a quite table by the window as requested. I was surprised how it was quite after reading the reviews, but sounded louder coming from the bar area, it was a Friday night, happy hours still. We were given our drinks and the waitress asked if we wanted time to enjoy are drinks first. We decided to order knowing we had other plans for the evening. Our appetizer and salad came out quicker than I expected. The chop chop salad was very good and the two veal meatballs were large enough for 4 people to split. Both our dinners were excellent. Crab cakes and walleye special. We would highly recommend the restaurant and plan on coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food, poor servicefrequentdinerDined on 10/14/2014The restaurant was no more than half full, but the noise level made it difficult to hold a conversation across the table. And, in spite of the restaurant not being crowded, it took an unpleasantly long time to to receive our main corse after the soup was served. We tried to catch the eye of our server who never came to the table after he took our order. I eventually asked another server to send the manager to the table. She was able to bring our dinner to us immediately saying the food was being "plated" at the very moment she went to the kitchen to inquire as to the order status. Either the kitchen was especially slow in spite of the restaurant not being crowded or the server was unprofessional. It was a disappointing experience.
- Nice placekennyavaVIPDined on 10/12/2014We went on a Sunday night to celebrate our niece's birthday. Our group consisted of teenagers all the way to grandpa and grandma. The restaurant had decent variety for the whole range of tastes at a very reasonable price. My prime rib was really good. I would certainly go back there when we go and visit Cleveland.Special Features:
- Dining with my kidscornergrillDined on 10/11/2014The location of the restaurant is perfect for us. The 4 minute drive was not exhausting. THe drinks were great, the service was great, the food was great & the noise level was to much to hear my family talking. Making reservations online is a great touch. See you soon.Special Features:

He kept coming over every 3-4 min. We kept telling him we are not ready. We could not talk. Then a party of 8 was next to us with a crying baby. Not wahat I asked for. Then came time for dessert which I asked for something for her birthday and we sat with coffee for ten min till I had to ask the manager. Waiter drove us crazy a million times then when he knew it was her birthday and bring the dessert with coffe you never saw him. Verry annoying.Special Features:

- Nice ambiance but that's itLikegoodfoodDined on 9/26/2014Food arrived quickly. My salmon was not seasoned. My daughter's Cajun pasta was lukewarm and bland. Our waiter was less attentive than we would have liked. With so many surrounding restaurants I won't be going back.
- UniqueMoldoDined on 9/26/2014When I first came into the restaurant I was very surprised at how beautiful the decor was. A good mix of quite and cozy while having the charms of an expensive restaurant. The service took awhile at first and waiting for the check though. The food came out fast and was the best part of the restaurant. The menu is diverse and an extensive wine list was great.Special Features:
- Nice place - don't be latejatskiDined on 9/22/2014Was happy to find this nice restaurant by Beachwood Mall open late (8:45p) on a Monday night. Greeted nicely at the door and quickly taken to booth in middle of restaurant. Could have been loud on a busy night but not so on a Monday - just right. Server was polite but somewhat detached. Appetizer (full artichoke, which is rare to get in a restaurant) was very good. Salmon entree just slightly overcooked, but tasty - fries were delicious. Disappointment of the night was when we asked for dessert menus. Server said he would get them. He returned 3 or 4 minutes later telling us the kitchen closed at 9:45p - time was exactly 9:45p and 30 seconds at that point - and not even cold dessert like ice cream was available.
- so soOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/22/2014Food was fair, the server was less than stellar. Overall didn't make a good impression for our clients that were in town from St. Paul.Special Features:
- Fun placeJackieDined on 9/18/2014Most Thursday's there is great entertainment in the outer room. But if you want quiet there is that too, in the inner room . Good is good. Happy hour good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not impressedoutandaboutVIPDined on 9/16/2014Although the restaurant has a nice ambiance and the patio is beautiful, I was not impressed with the food. Although they had roasted potatoes served with their special, they would not allow us to substitute the fries that came with the meal with the roasted potatoes. My house salad, could have been tasty, but it was drenched in dressing, and my blackened shrimp tacos had nothing but two lonely pieces of shrimp in the tortilla. Other meals were also just fair.
