Free Fantasy Football Cheat Sheets Just Got Better
These Fantasy Football cheat sheets could be printable, hence, we are posting here sample screenshots. If you have been playing Fantasy Football and cheat sheets are what you are after, then look at these data (in jpg format and get a glimpse of what's in store for you owners/gamers. Why owners/gamers? Here's a simple explanation from Wikipedia:
Fantasy football is a fantasy sports game in which participants (called "owners") are arranged into a league. The person who creates the league is called the commissioner, and that person invites other owners into his/her league. Each team drafts or acquires via auction a team of real-life American football players and then scores points based on those players' statistical on-the-field performances. A typical fantasy league will employ players from a single football league, such as the NFL or an NCAA division. Leagues can be arranged in which the winner is the team with the most total points at the end of the season, or in a head-to-head format (which mirrors the actual NFL) in which each team plays against a single opponent each week. At the end of the year, win-loss records determine league rankings or qualification into a playoff bracket. Most leagues set aside the last weeks of the regular season for their own playoffs. Just prior to the 2009 NFL season, Colin Cowherd of ESPN said "more than 27 million players play fantasy football. They spend an average of nine hours a week (during football season… playing fantasy football)."
In summary, you can customize your Fantasy Football games and you can even implement cheats, hence the need for cheat sheets. There are more free Fantasy Football cheat sheets online. Some are printable but some are not. Yahoo even has a subdomain where you can play Fantasy Football games for free.

Dr. Sylvia Olney, an anthropologist in the sociology department at Bemidji State University, will deliver an Honors Council Lecture on how anthropology relates to modern medicine and how this perspective is being explored in evolutionary medicine.
Olneys presentation, Anthropology and Modern Medicine, will be held Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. in Hagg Sauer 112 on the Bemidji State campus.
Honors Council Lectures are open to the public free of charge.
Olney was born in Germany and immigrated with her parents to Australia at a young age. After studying in England for a year, she moved to Germany and lived there for seven years. In 1981, Olney immigrated to the United States with her then-husband and two children, returning to college in 1988. In 1990, she moved to Minnesota from California, and studied at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, where she went to graduate school for anthropology. She also studied psychology at Alfred Adler Graduate School.
She earned two masters degrees, including training and licensing as a marriage and family psychotherapist. In 2010, she earned her PhD in anthropology from UMTC. She began her teaching career in 1997 after settling in northern Minnesota. One of Olneys main focuses is the philosophy of science and the nature of consciousness.
The Honors Council Lecture Series is hosted by the Bemidji State University Honors Council. The council is the advisory group to the honors program comprised of 12 faculty members from each of the Universitys colleges. Student representatives are also elected to the council by their cohorts for one-year terms.

I just got word from promoters Salvador and Berlin Arrellano that they've canceled next weekend's second Frank N' Con Horror Film Festival.
They attributed the cancellation to low ticket sales, a rare fit of candor from a local promoter.
The horror film festival and expo was scheduled for Sept. 28-30 at the Wyndham Airport Hotel. Tickets were $15 per day, $35 for a 3-day festival pass.
Ticketholders can get refunds at the point of purchase; or contact them via their Facebook page for instructions on refunds.
The news comes on the heels of low turnout and other problems at this year's El Paso Comic Con, which was Sept. 14-16 at the Judson F. Williams Convention Center.
Promoter Julian Lawler said 3,400 showed up for the event, the third annual and the biggest one so far in terms of events and celebrity guests. The second one, which featured Billy Dee Williams, drew 6,000, he said.
But it was marred by some high-profile cancellations the week of the event, including David Prowse and Marina Sirtis, a $40 ticket price that some complained (to me, anyway) was too high for the Sept. 15 events and the allegedly threatening behavior of one of the guests, actor Michael Biehn, on Sept. 16.
Biehn was upset that he didn't get paid and insisted he be paid in cash, not by check, according to Lawler.
The Arrellanos say their event is done. I don't know what this double-whammy means to the future of these kinds of events here. Hopefully, it's more hiccup than fatal illness.

AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Nationals celebrated Adam LaRoche's 15th-inning homer that gave Washington an 8-7 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night.
The team also was left with lingering concerns about Stephen Strasburg's ejection and closer Rafael Soriano's blown save.
Strasburg was tossed in the second inning. He hit Justin Upton with a pitch in the first and was tossed after throwing two straight pitches behind Andrelton Simmons' back.
The Nationals insisted Strasburg wasn't trying to hit Simmons, but instead was unable to regain his control after walking Jordan Schafer on four pitches to open the second.
"He's still kind of learning to deal with the adversities of pitching up here," said Nationals manager Davey Johnson, who also was ejected by plate umpire Marvin Hudson when he argued in defense of Strasburg.
"When he went back out in the second inning, I've never seen his command so bad," Johnson said. "He couldn't come close to the first hitter he faced. Then he threw a curve ball that was eight feet outside and then a couple balls that were behind the hitter. It didn't look like he was trying to hit (Simmons). He couldn't find the strike zone."
Entering the game, Strasburg had thrown three wild pitches in 146 1-3 innings. He doubled that total by unleashing three consecutive wild pitches, including the two behind Simmons' back.
When Johnson and Strasburg were in the clubhouse after being tossed, Johnson said he immediately sought to find out if his ace was hurt.
"The first thing I said when we were both in here was 'Are you hurt? Is something wrong with you?'" Johnson said. "He said 'No. I'm just out of sorts.'"
The Nationals loaded the bases and scored two runs in each of the first two innings. On a night when the game-time temperature was 66 degrees, Strasburg said he "just got a little cold. I was just missing spots."
Asked if it was a mechanical problem, Strasburg said "I can't really explain it. I just didn't really feel good out there and couldn't hit the spot."
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said it was "just weird" to see Strasburg's suddenly unable to throw strikes. He said he didn't think Strasburg was trying to hit Simmons.
"I don't know if there's something wrong with him physically, because it just didn't look right," Gonzalez said. "It didn't look right."
LaRoche lifted a high fly ball into the right-field seats for this 18th homer off Kris Medlen (10-11), who was pressed into service after Atlanta exhausted its bullpen.
The game lasted 5 hours, 29 minutes.
Jason Heyward hit two homers, including a two-run shot in the ninth as Soriano blew a 7-5 lead.
Craig Stammen (6-5) allowed no hits in three scoreless innings, striking out five with one walk. Dan Haren pitched the 15th for his first career save.
Haren said he threw 30 to 35 pitches in his regular bullpen session before the game, but didn't hesitate to volunteer for the rare relief appearance.
"We needed a game like this," Haren said.
Atlanta's Brian McCann had three hits, including a two-run homer. Freddie Freeman also homered for the Braves. Ryan Zimmerman hit a homer for Washington.
Each team used all its relievers.
Medlen, scheduled to start Tuesday at the Mets, made his first relief appearance of the season as Atlanta's ninth pitcher of the night.
Soriano suffered his sixth blown save. Heyward's second homer of the game, a two-run shot to right-center with two outs in the ninth, sent the game to extra innings.
Braves pitchers hit Bryce Harper with two pitches in Atlanta's win on Friday night, leaving the outfielder bruised and unable to start on Saturday night.
That set the stage for Strasburg.
Strasburg hit Upton in the first inning one pitch after Heyward's leadoff home run. The pitch hit Upton's backside, and he quickly ran to first.
Asked if he meant to hit Upton, Strasburg said "I'm not going to get into that."
But the answer seemed clear.
"Well after somebody goes deep and you hit him in the rear end, I don't think it's a big deal," Johnson said. "I don't know if he did it on purpose or not."
The second-inning meltdown by Strasburg was more difficult to figure out.
The drama left Braves fans howling, but no players emerged from either dugout. There were no additional incidents in the game.
There were tensions between the teams that carried over from the Braves' three-game sweep at Washington on Aug. 5-7. Both benches emptied when Harper was hit by a Julio Teheran pitch in the second game of the series.

Chuck Bino: Encouragement from an Advent
As Christmas approaches, I'm compelled to be more positive and hopeful about political, social and economic conditions. Perhaps that's related to Advent preparations we make as Christians for this holiday. Advent, also known as the start of the church's thematic new year, was this 23-day period leading up to Christmas. If our secularist readers persevere, they may even agree with my intentions.
An "advent" is an anticipated "coming or arrival, especially of something extremely important." Globally, we speak of the advents of space travel and of the computer.
However, we experience "personal" advents throughout our lives. Consider the expectations, preparations, and mental exercises for the first day of your child's schooling, the first time she'll be away from home for extended periods, her wedding, that first home, your first grandchild, the expected loss of a loved one. To appreciate these fully, we must be adequately prepared.
Some question having even more Christmas preparations for the sometimes excessive decorations and repetitive seasonal music. The "preparations" I reference are personal, not physical in nature; they're more cerebral, socially interactive, and possibly life changing for those who understand the true "reason for the season." Or, isn't Christmas mainly about the gift exchanges, parties, and being a paid federal holiday?
The Christian Advent season is less festive and more serious in contrast with the revelry taking place elsewhere at the same time. It combines both parish and personal expectations. The first expectation is that we remember the "promises" God made to Israelites though the prophet Jeremiah about a future "right and just" king (Jeremiah 33:14-16). The Babylonian captivity was a turbulent time, not unlike today, when they needed plenty of reasons to be hopeful. This prophecy was a foreshadowing of the "coming" of Christ.
A second expectation is to be introspective and understand that we can improve ourselves and make positive behavioral changes. Penance and fasting are even more severe attempts to clarify the mind and senses, but not restricted to only Christian ascetics. Actually, it can be as simple as "self realization" leading to a personal resolution.
What should follow is "reconciliation." In the numerous uses of that term, I like the "re-establishment of a close relationship," whether with one's family, friend, community or God. Other definitions include the "act of restoring harmony or friendship, or the process of making compatible." All of them apply here.
These preparations culminate for us in the joyous celebration Dec. 25 of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The community "rejoices" at His arrival and spiritual redemption of mankind.
Now, to associate the spiritual with reality:
We've all been in "global advent mode" for some time, and needful of "fiscal redemption." Consider these expectations of ours and all governments, as suggested by the preparations for Christian Advent:
1. We ask that the Congress and president "remember" their promises to us as our "hopes."
2. We ask for their "realizations" that much needs to be changed in our current course.
3. We ask that they "reconcile" with their opposition, become a "team," and join in providing viable solutions.
4. Finally, we hope that they will give us another reason to "rejoice" following this holiday season.
Yet, there are events which defy preparation. We continue to pray for those postponing such celebrations, who still suffer physical and emotional loss; that they not despair, but receive the grace to have courage and hope, and do get the relief, assistance, and closure they deserve.
Thanks to the Rev. Joseph Zuschmidt at IHM church and his Advent homily as inspirations.
Wishing all a hopeful, blessed and merry Christmas!

CORPUS CHRIST - Police are investigating a shooting that happened around 3:30 Sunday afternoon in the 2900 block of Sunrise Ave., which is near Port and Agnes.
CCPD say a 17 year old was riding his bike when a man walked out of a house, punched him and then shot him in the arm with a shotgun.
The teen rode his bike back to his house, which is on 25th street. That's where police were called to.
Officers say the 17 year old didn't give them many details about the shooting or the gunman.
The teen is expected to be okay.
No arrests have been made.
Police are investigating if this shooting is related to a shooting late Saturday night also on Sunrise Ave.

From the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
-- Minnesota homeowners are being encouraged to complete necessary open-burning activities now, because annual restrictions on open burning will take effect soon.
Warm weather is expected to melt much of the accumulated snow in the next few weeks. That will expose last year's leaves and other yard waste. The DNR says the safest way to dispose of yard waste is to recycle or compost it.
Homeowners who choose to burn yard waste should try to accomplish that while snow is still on the ground. Three inches or more of continuous snow cover drastically reduces the chance a fire will escape and burn unintended areas. A DNR burning permit is not required under snow-covered conditions, but local city and municipalities may regulate debris burning. The DNR reminds homeowners to keep safety first when disposing of yard waste.
Spring fire restrictions that soon take effect will drastically limit open burning until summer green-up occurs. Traditionally, the highest number of wildfires occurs during the months of April and May. More than 95 percent of these fires are caused by human error. Because of the high fire incidence during this time period, the DNR initiates burning restrictions to coincide with this annual fire season.
The restrictions are weather-dependent, and normally last from four to six weeks until sufficient green vegetative growth occurs. Past experience with spring fire restrictions has shown a dramatic decrease in both the numbers and sizes of accidental fires.
By completing burning now, homeowners can reduce the potential for an escaped fire. If an escaped fire requires the DNR or a fire department to put it out, the homeowner is responsible for the costs.

Exclusive: Mad Skewers Google in 500th Issue
- |
- 4:00 pm |
- Permalink
After decades satirizing pop culture and politics with glee, Mad magazine will churn out its 500th issue Tuesday. Wired.com gets in on the action with an exclusive first look at a panel that spoofs our internet overlords at Google.
Google Maps and Google Earth have turned our vast planet into bite-size snapshots. But Mad has turned the tables — and the satellite eyes — on the Silicon Valley-based multinational with a spoof called "Mad Googles Google's Headquarters." The wacky annotated image identifies buildings on the Google campus that compile your porn-surfing history and store Google's emergency gold for when the dollar enters the currency basement.
Now well into its emerald anniversary, the spoof-filled magazine founded by William Gaines in 1952 has left an immeasurable stamp on global entertainment. Mad served as a comedy Bible to Monty Python auteur Terry Gilliam, taught Roger Ebert how to write film reviews and peddled parody to the masses. According to Patti Smith, it more or less replaced drugs altogether.
Mad's 500th issue drops April 28, and features more than 100 contributors, from Sergio Aragones to Al Jaffee, hopscotching across the comic's storied history. Got a favorite Mad memory? Share it with us in the comments section below.

Hope Seeds offers a wide selection of beans to suit all preferences. Many of them are edible at more than one stage (eg. fresh snap bean, fresh shell bean, dry bean), making them multi-purpose and versatile. General rule of thumb is to plant beans in warm soil (earliest we can get them in is about a week and a half before last Spring frost), and only pre-soak if you know there will be moist weather/soil for a few days. Beans should be planted approximately 3-6" apart (the further distance is preferred for dry bean production to help with airflow).

Man accused of grabbing teen in shopping line

A Starke man was arrested for grabbing a 14-year-old girl between her legs at the Oaks Mall in Alachua County on Friday morning, according to authorities.
The Sheriff's Office said John Wesley Mosley of Starke was charged with one count of child cruelty without great harm.
Police said Mosley was standing behind the 14-year-old girl in a line at the Hollister at the Oaks Mall when he grabbed her between her legs.
The victim told police she initially thought Mosley had touched her by accident, but she said Mosley continued to grab her until he fell to the ground when the doors opened at midnight, authorities said.
Police arrested Mosley once he was inside the mall. Mosley denied touching the girl, authorities said.
Police said Mosley was being held in the Alachua County Jail on $35,000 bond.

Gyllenhaal fostered this actorly comfort with extreme emotional intimacy by working less these past two yearsbefore the current spate of new films, anywayand "getting to spend time with myself." He elaborates: "I meditate. I cycle for hours. It's not a physical activity for me as much as it's a mental activity. I practice kung fu and wing chun." His Zodiac costar Robert Downey Jr. is one of his closest New Agey L.A. mates, "if that says anything."
Around him, things happened that also left their mark, some of which he chooses not to talk aboutfor instance, Ledger's death. The details of Gyllenhaal's romance and ensuing breakup with his Rendition costar Reese Witherspoon last year are similarly off-limits, beyond his boilerplate observation that "I've been blessed in my life to have had romantic relationships with extraordinary women."
Kids provide the window into his on-the-record soul. He was an engaged father figure to Witherspoon's two children, an experience he describes, deftly, as "a delicate honor." He's wild about his three-year-old niece, the daughter of his sister, Maggie, and Peter Sarsgaard, Jake's costar in both Jarhead and Rendition. "I love my brother-in-law so much, and I love my sister and I love my niece more than anything," he says. He recalls Oscar night, with Maggie nominated for Crazy Heart and Peter presenting: "My sister and brother-in-law had left for the show in a whirlwind. I threw on my tuxedo and my little niece was sitting there with my mom, and she turns to me and says, `Unca Jake, you look so handsome!' I was like, `Ah, that's it, I'm ready to go.' "
Is his inner father ready to come out? "Yes, definitely." In fact, he says, it was watching movies with the kids in his life that made him enthusiastic about accepting a role in the decidedly non-art-house picture Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer produced epic blanketing multiplexes this month and based loosely on a Disney video game.
Gyllenhaal is delighted with the result, a roller-coaster ride that's driven by character as well as a bantering, slow-simmering romance between his prince and Quantum of Solace Bond girl Gemma Arterton. Along the way, they have to save the world by making good use of a magic dagger that reverses the flow of time. ("It's that kind of movie," director Mike Newell says.) But for Gyllenhaal, it's also something more personal: a vehicle, however unlikely, for his own coming-of-age. His street kid turned prince in the Errol Flynn mold is, he says, "surprisingly more me than any role I've played before. In that sense, I'm probably more of a prince than I might let on." The ballsiness of this proclamation takes him by surprise, and he has the good manners to blush.

Wedding: 9/29/2012
Tanya was amazing to work with she was all fun and talent! I brought her an idea I had dreamed up in my mind and made it a reality! Our cake was delicious and gorgeous we loved every thing about it! She worked with us to keep the price in our budget without taking away the image of the cake I wanted!! She was amazing and we love her!
Wedding: 10/13/2012
We were so excited to work with Domestic Arts Custom Cakes for our wedding. Our guests were pleased at the chance to taste two wonderful flavors from Tanya Luz and her staff. The amaretto with raspberry and chai with sugar coated pecan flavors were prefect for my fall wedding. Our wedding cake was amazing! It tasted great and color's matched perfectly with the wedding decorations. I gave them a picture of a cake I found online, and they matched it perfectly! I would highly recommend this company for any special event you make have! Her professionalism yet caring spirit was wonderful. I appreciate Tanya, and I cannot wait to use her for my next event. High Five for Domestic Arts Custom Cakes!!
Wedding: 10/6/2012
I highly recommend Tanya at Domestic Arts Custom Cakes! She was so nice and really went up and beyond for me. Our cake tasted so good and everyone raved about it. Not only that but it was the best science themed cake I have ever seen-it was very classy and not corny at all! She even brought the rest of the cupcakes and cake to our hotel so we could enjoy it! She knew we wouldn't get any at the actual reception which was incredibly sweet of her! If I have to plan another party I would totally get another cake and sweets from her again!
Wedding: 6/9/2012
Tayna was absolutely wonderful to work with. She gave her expert opinion without being pushy and turned my idea into something even more spectacular than I even imagined. Everyone was talking about how cool and unique our cake was! She really took the time to get to know us and design the cake to fit our personalities. Not to mention the cake was to die for delicious! She was also very helpful and accommodating for someone that had never dealt with a wedding cake before. I will recommend her to everyone and hire her again for any event that could use a cake! Thank you so much!
Wedding: 9/22/2012
Tanya was amazing. She was the first person that we met for a cake person and we immediately went with her. She does everything out of the bakery at her home, makes her frosting fresh with eggs from her own chickens. She was so nice and her quality was phenomenal!
Wedding: 7/21/2012
Tanya is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. She goes out of her way to design exactly what the customer wants. I am still blown away by the pictures of my wedding cake. She is highly recommended as a cake provider, and it would be your loss not to use her
Wedding: 6/9/2012
Not only did they make me a leopard cake, yes a leopard cake, they took me on after they were already fully booked that weekend! Tonya is fun, fresh, and fantastic at anything she does! I ran into a few problems with my location and everytime they rode in on a white horse to save the day, without Tonya my day would not have been as smooth or as prefect as it really was for me and all my guests! I even had her make me a surprise grooms cake, a model of my husband beloved mustang, broken down and for sale! She again exceeded expectations! All of her cakes can be seen on facebook, including my cakes! I suggest that if you have a cake in mind that is at all about what you could bake, then take it to Domestic Arts! And the chocolate peanut butter cake is to die for!!
Wedding: 10/15/2011
I had only 3 months to plan a wedding, I traveled for a living and picked Oct 1st the day of UofM versus Minnesota football game as the day of my wedding. I needed a professional and some hand holding. Tanya is blessed and gifted, by viewing her pictures of previous cakes I thought she might be out of price range....I was so wrong and her cakes tasted absolutely delicious. My fiance and I had our hearts set on red velvet or carrot cake. After tasting her amaretto and lemon cupcakes, my mother and I agreed that we had to include them, so that was our tiered cake and we did the other red velvet and carrot for cupcakes next to the cake. It came out perfect, I still dont how she did it, with traffic and all but I trusted her completely and my guests are still talking about it.
Wedding: 5/6/2012
Tanya was an absolute JOY to work with and I was left absolutely speechless when I saw my wedding cake! I literally jumped up and down! :D Tanya listened to EVERY request of mine and couldn't have done a better job with the styling of the cake! The cake was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Tanya is HUGE on making cakes that look beautiful but that are just as delicious and that it was!! Tanya did everything she could to make our wedding absolutely perfect and I couldn't have been a happier client! Tanya will definitely be making my sister's wedding cakes in the future! Overall I would give Domestic Arts Custom Cakes an A+ with 200% customer satisfaction! Tanya is a sweetheart! We love you!!
Wedding: 3/17/2012
If you are looking for a spactacular cake, Tanya from Domestic Arts is who you want! I got married on St. Patrick's Day 2012 in Troy, MI, and Tanya did the wedding cake and groom's cake for my wedding; I could not have been more ecstatic, or pleased, with her! I am a bride that has severe fructose intolerance (I can't eat anything with corn product, and other things in it), but I wanted SO badly to be able to eat my wedding cake! Tanya made it happen, I don't know what I would've done without her! She was so easy to work with, and took such care to make sure the cake she made for me would be 100% safe to eat on my wedding day, she was just so absolutely amazing! Her cakes are phenomenal both in taste and decoration, she is so talented at what she does! My guests loved the cakes (we had guinness chocolate cake w/ Bailey's buttercream, an amaretto cake w/ raspberry, and a vanilla cake w/chocolate/heath) they couldn't wait to take cake home with them after the wedding too! I enjoyed my cake so much that I even told my DJ to hold off on my first dance so I could finish it :) Tanya's level of service is, in my opinion, one step above everyone else out there, she really helped to make my big day 100% perfect and I am so grateful to her for that! I highly recommed her, especially if you are looking for a baker who can work with allergies and such, she really was superb! With Domestic Arts, you will get excellent service and cakes from beginning to end. Thank you so much to Domestic Arts and Tanya, you are simply the best, in two words, all I can say is: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!
Wedding: 11/11/2011
Delicious! Spectacular!! Helpful!! When I tried Tanyas cake I felt like I was floating on air! I am typically not a cake eating person and her cakes are beyond delicious!!
Tanya made us a custom made cake - exactly to my now-husbands expectations!! 20 pounds of pure chocolate coating - chocolate cake with strawberries baked into the batter - cream cheese frosting in-between (and that was just 1 layer!). Tanya also made us a layer of heart stopping red-velved cake with creamy cream cheese frosting, and another layer of lemon cake with butter cream frosting.
I cannot say enough kind things about Tanya as a person as well!! She is easily one of the most kind-hearted and genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of working with! I will use her services for years to come!! A+++++++
Wedding: 1/16/2012
My cake was incredibly beautiful.....it was perfect. Tanya was warm and kind and easy to work with. She did such a nice job of recreating the exact cake i was looking for. Even better...it was not just beautiful but it was by far...the best tasting cake i've ever had (and really....who can say that about a wedding cake)!

Long Island Teacher Forced to Resign After Reality TV Appearance
In 1968 Andy Warhol famously stated, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Acknowledging oh-so-true this really is, when you claim your own 15 minutes, will your shining moment cost you your job? A Long Island teacher found out the hard way.
Meet Stefan Sherie. Newsday reports the 30 year-old teacher appeared shirtless at a pool party in a scene in Bravo's show, Princesses: Long Island.
The episode aired in early June and as per the piece, a little more than two weeks later Bellmore-Merrick Central School District administrators and union representatives informed him he would get fired if he didn't resign. Read more

Each week, we will be tabulating rankings based on wins and losses from every member of the WWE and TNA roster. We'll then organize them based on points. This blog post will be separated into 2 listings: Overall Leaderboard and FTW Rankings.
Overall Leaderboard
This week, although a few ties continue, quite a few started to move ahead. Here is your top 10 for Week Five:
- 10 – Rey Mysterio (Undrafted)
Rey lost to CM Punk this week, causing him to drop 1 spot. However, he remains in the top 10 with 9 points.
- 9 – Kelly Kelly (Undrafted)
Kelly Kelly continues to be pushed as the top face in the Women's division. She picked up another key win over the Bellas, this time w/ Eve Torres. She now has 9.5 points.
- 8 – Christian (Undrafted)
Christian lost to Sheamus this week. He did not lose his spot in the top 10 though, coasting at the 8 spot with 11 points.
- 7 – Big Show (Undrafted)
Big Show remains in the top 10, all though his future is in question. What isn't in question, though, is Harrison's loyalties. He dropped him without even a hesitation. Big Show sits at 11.5 points.
- 6 – Kofi Kingston (Kevin)
Kingston lost to Dolph Ziggler. It was such a shock, that he went from 3rd to 7th. The biggest one week drop in FTW Draft history. He remains with 13.5 points.
- 5 – Sin Cara (Garvin)
Sin Cara picked up another win this week, as was expected. Once again defeating Chavo. 15 points in total.
- 4 – Mickie James
Mickie James also won this week. She picked up a win over Harrison's winter giving her an extra .5. She now sits at 15.5 points.
- 3 – Kane (Garvin)
Kane defeated The Great Khali in a match that saw him a) get destroyed and b) win with a flying clothesline. Shameful match, but points are points. Kane now sits with 16.
- 2 – Randy Orton (Joe)
Orton finally took a week off. But, he still remains in 2nd place with 17.5 points.
- 1 – John Cena (Joe)
It's Cena. That's the good news. The bad news is he received his first loss, not only in the FTW Draft, but in FTW competition, losing to R-Truth. He still sits at 21 points, so no one should be happy about this.
FTW Rankings
And, here is where everyone stands in Week Five of the first season of the FTW Draft:
- 5 – Kevin
Kevin only earned two points this week. Pretty lackluster overall. But hey, maybe 13 is lucky for him?
- 4 – Harrison
Big Show's replacement, Hernandez did nothing this week. But, Harrison still got 6 points taking him to 27.5.
- 3 – Rob
Rob is continuing to rack up points. He got 9.5 this time taking him to 32.5.
- 2 – Garvin
Garvin went from 33.5 to 39.5. Kane and Sin Cara delivered, again. Sting, Matt Morgan and Kharma did nothing (points-wise). Maybe next time.
- 1 – Joe
And the 4-week Champion, Joe continues to roll despite Orton and Cena both bringing in zero this week. 52 points overall.

Near Field Communications (NFC) technology has long been rumored to be coming to the iPhone, but now it appears that the iPhone 5 will be the first iPhone to come with the technology built in. As you may recall, both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S were rumored to be getting NFC; however, neither one ultimately did. The NFC iPhone 5 rumor is more likely to be true, though, as it comes from a pretty credible source: a Fastcompany.com interview with Ed McLaughlin, head of emerging payments at MasterCard.
Head of Emerging Payments at MasterCard Hints at iPhone 5 NFC Technology
Although McLaughlin did not mention Apple or the iPhone 5 by name in the interview, he did apparently hint at a NFC partnership between MasterCard and Apple. "The timeline is always as rapid as it makes sense for consumers. That's a combination of having a critical mass of the merchants, which is what you're seeing right now, and getting devices into the hands of consumers. I don't know of a handset manufacturer that isn't in the process of making sure their stuff is PayPass ready," McLaughlin told Fastcompany.
When asked if that included Apple and the iPhone 5, McLaughlin replied to Fastcompany "Um, there are…like I say, [I don't know of] any handset maker out there. Now, when we have discussions with our partners, and they ask us not to disclose them, we don't." The fact that McLaughlin didn't come out and deny a partnership with Apple has set the Internet buzzing about a potential NFC-enabled iPhone 5. An NFC iPhone 5 would make a lot of sense, as payment options are becoming more and more digital today.
What NFC Is
Essentially, Near Field Communication technology works by establishing communications between only two devices when they are touched or are in close proximity of each other. NFC has been around for a while in the form of MasterCard PayPass and other NFC-enabled technologies. In the case of PayPass, the technology allows users to move their PayPass-enabled MasterCard credit card over the point of sale terminal reader rather than having to swipe or insert the card into the reader. The NFC connection is considered to be secure.
What an NFC iPhone 5 Means for You
The previously released Nexus S smartphone can both accept payments and make payments through NFC. It is expected that the NFC iPhone 5 will be able to do the same. What this means is that your iPhone 5 will be able to accept payments from NFC-enabled credit cards. If you own a small business or are collecting payment from a friend or relative, this means that you can use your iPhone 5 to collect the payment via credit card.
Perhaps even more exciting and convenient is the idea that your iPhone 5 can become your credit card. Rather than having to carry around cash or multiple credit cards with you for daily purchases, you can simply hold your iPhone 5 above the NFC terminal reader. You won't have to worry about typing in a PIN or signing for your purchase, either; the NFC technology takes care of that.
The iPhone 5 may also be capable of storing documents received through NFC. That means things purchased through the NFC system like plane/train tickets, concert/sporting event tickets, and even police tickets or doctor's prescriptions can, in theory, be stored on the iPhone 5.
What Do You Think?
How useful would you find NFC technology to be on your iPhone 5? Do you have any security concerns with the idea of using an NFC-enabled iPhone 5? Give us your opinion on the possible NFC iPhone 5.

meanderings along the road less travelled...Two Roads East, a novel by Philip Montgomery

Boston Undergrad. students program Bhutan
Boston University's School of Field Studies produced this video for their Bhutan Program in which undergraduates have an opportunity to complete a six week field studies course at the forestry and rural livelihoods program in Eastern Bhutan, which is the area I worked in as Director of a World Bank project in the late 1990's. Notice the road cut out of the side of the mountain in the video! I took my children along this road to Eastern Bhutan - it's where they learned to be patient travellers on the two day journey from Thimpu.

While preparing for an interview with Rosalie Marshall of V3, I was looking for data to support the fact that a) People tweet about brands – check, 20% of all tweets are brand related. And b) that people's favourite topic of conversation online is themselves. The conclusion being that people are highly likely to relay a personal experience – good or bad – that they've had with your brand.
And here we go, Oxford University Press did a study of 1.5 million tweets. The most common word in a 'tweet'? "The." And the second most popular? "I." By comparison, I is the 10th most popular word in every day language.
According to the people at Oxford University Press, "no doubt this reflects on the intrinsically solipsistic nature of Twitter." No doubt…

A Powerful New Tool for Coaches, Therapists,
and Service Professionals
| What prevents you from making the powerful difference you are designed and destined to make?
If you are a coach, therapist, healer, or change agent, you want to give your greatest gifts, serve more clients, and become even more successful.
What prevents you from being more successful?
You've done all the right things. You've taken the courses on marketing, networked through social media, and created your website. You've experienced some success, but given the time and money you've spent, you should be even more successful. You know you're meant to have a thriving practice with people lined up waiting to see you.
Even though you're clear about what you want, something is standing between you and the ease of success. You know you're meant to make a difference. But just like the clients you serve, you may:
- Know what to do, but lack the confidence or clarity to act on it.
- Feel ready to realize your goals, but struggle to take action.
- Allow negative internal voices chattering in your head to derail your dreams.
- Recognize your limitations, but struggle to get past them.
While there's no magic wand or instant fix, there is a powerful solution that will help you see immediate results in growing your practice and creating immediate and profound change in your clients: Learn to eliminate and transform your limiting and negative beliefs.
You've probably heard that limiting beliefs prevent you from creating and attracting what you want. You see it in your clients, and you experience it yourself. You've worked on your beliefs, but you're still caught in their grip. The extraordinary success you deserve eludes you.
If your beliefs create your reality, changing your beliefs will change your reality.
Can beliefs be permanently changed?
If you've tried using affirmations, NLP, EFT, or other methods to transform your own (and your clients') limiting beliefs – you've probably had some success. Some methods (such as affirmations) attempt to overpower the beliefs you already have, which is helpful – for awhile. But the old beliefs creep back in, like poltergeists that keep returning to haunt you. Other methods (such as Byron Katie's The Work) disrupt beliefs at the conscious level. You recognize they're no longer true, but this doesn't eliminate them permanently. It's like cutting a weed at the surface – the root just grows another stem. Other methods require tapping on the body or doing muscle testing as a way of finding beliefs or clearing their energetic signature. The science and technology of belief change continues to evolve. And now…
Now there's a simple, easy-to-learn, effective, and enjoyable way to permanently change negative and limiting beliefs. In the BeliefCloset Process, you actually eliminate old beliefs, banishing them forever from your life. When you create empowering new beliefs in their place, your resistance disappears and there is a palpable shift in your feelings, attitude, motivation, self-esteem, and abilities. No tapping or muscle testing required. It's an elegant process that really works. It's a method you can use with your clients over the phone, and you can master it relatively quickly.
If you're in the business of helping and serving others as a coach, therapist or change agent, The BeliefCloset Process will become your most powerful tool to help your clients transform their lives. They will see and feel immediate results from working with you, and as a result, your reputation will soar.
When you apply the BeliefCloset Process to your own beliefs, you'll clear obstacles out of your own way, and increase your ability to deliver value to the world. You'll get more referrals, more clients, and more satisfaction. You'll see your clients transform their lives from the core.
With The BeliefCloset Process, changing your beliefs is now as easy as changing your clothes.

For the very first time in the history of my life I will not be in Sand Springs, OK on December 25th. Our family is staying in Lubbock through the holidays. To celebrate this momentous occasion of being in our own home for Christmas, we've been thinking of new traditions we want to start with our kids.
So far.....
The Christmas Plate
Every night at dinner someone gets the special "Christmas plate." Everyone else in the family tells the lucky recipient reasons they are special and loved.
This will be the first time our family has celebrated Advent. I've learned in my online searches that there are several ways to create an Advent candleholder - we chose to go with three purple candles, one rose, and one white. Purple representing preparation, and rose representing joy. We will light the white candle on Christmas Eve in celebration of Jesus' birth! (Traditionally, the Advent candles are in an evergreen wreath, but I decided to just work with what I already had.) Tomorrow, Sunday, we'll light the first candle and read Isaiah 2:1-5.
The Calendar
This Nativity Calendar was a gift from Mo, and the kids have been looking forward to December 1st since she gave it to them at Thanksgiving. I let Lauryn move the first piece today. She placed the wise man very nicely. He's not upside down or even crooked. :-)
We had our first Christmas in our own home last year. We really missed being "home", but it was so nice to be able to start our own traditions. It looks like you all are having a great time!
I'm Starr Cliff. A domestically-challenged mom, climbing over mountains of laundry to bring you my stray observations and amusing stories about my kids. (more)

Donald Anderson / photo from Illinois Dept. of Corrections
Updated: January 17, 2013 6:32AM
A former Park Forest man who is serving 16 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl will spend another 50 years behind bars for producing child pornography, including video of his rape of an 8-year-old girl, according to federal prosecutors.
Donald Anderson, 47, also formerly of Addison, was sentenced Wednesday to the maximum 30 years for producing child pornography, and another 20 for receiving child porn, the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago said Friday.
U.S. District Judge Joan Gottschall ordered Anderson to serve the terms consecutively, and also consecutively to a 16-year state prison sentence he is serving for predatory criminal sexual abuse of a minor. By law, he must serve at least 85 percent of the federal sentence.
The judge said she ordered the sentences to be served consecutively to prevent Anderson from ever committing any similar crimes.
The U.S. attorney's office filed charges in 2009 after Anderson was convicted and sentenced in state court for the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in 2007. In that case, he admitted videotaping one of the attacks on the girl, which led to the federal investigation.
The investigation led to evidence that Anderson raped an 8-year-old girl in his Addison home in 1997. He also videotaped the rape, resulting in the pornography production charge, the U.S. attorney's office said.
The investigation also turned up thousands of images and videos of child pornography in Anderson's Park Forest home.

Exploring Strange New Languages
It is all about understanding each other, François. Whenever we open up a dialogue with someone from another country, we are making an attempt to establish a common ground for communication, usually choosing one language both can understand or, if that fails, translating back and forth.
Quoi? Of course, you are right, mon ami. Sometimes it is difficult to make yourself understood even by those who share your language. Thinking you know what a word means is no guarantee the person you are talking to interprets that word in the same way. That is one of the reasons we have dictionaries—that and Scrabble.
Ah, mes amis! It is good to see you all. Welcome to Chez Marcel, home of fine Linux fare and great wines from the world over. Please sit and be comfortable. François and I were discussing the challenges of being understood and of properly getting your meaning across. François, as you already know all this, quickly go down to the wine cellar and bring back the 1999 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon we were tasting earlier—or rather submitting to quality control.
Words are important and the right words even more so, as every writer can tell you. This especially is true when you are trying to communicate with someone who doesn't share your language. Using your Linux system, you can take some joy in knowing that you are helping to improve understanding between yourself and others.
The meaning of words, true or otherwise, may be no more than a click away. If you are running KDE 3.0 or higher, try this trick. Let's say you want to find the definition of "cooking". Open up Konqueror, then type dict: cooking in the Location field. Press Enter, and Konqueror does a search for you in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. To do a thesaurus lookup, type ths: cooking instead.
KDE has a nice, integrated dictionary application called Kdict, part of the kdenetwork package. You'll most likely find Kdict in your Utilities menu under the KDE application launcher (the big K). You also can launch it from the shell with the program name kdict (Figure 1). Enter and Kdict connects to various on-line dictionaries to pull up the appropriate definition. Those resources include the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Wordnet, The Jargon File, The Devil's Dictionary and others.
For rapid-fire access to Kdict, you can pop a handy little applet into your Kicker panel. Here's how: right-click on the big K, select Panel menu®Add®Applet®Dictionary. Now, you should see a new program applet labeled Dictionary with three small buttons to the top right on your Kicker panel. On first start, only the C button is visible (define selected text), and the other two are grayed out.
Enter text into the small window, either a word or a phrase, press Enter, and Kdict appears with that definition as collected from the various sources. You also can select (double-click) a word on a web page or document you are viewing and click that C button in the applet. Kdict automatically launches and provides the definition for the selected word.
If you aren't running KDE or if you prefer a simpler approach, may I interest you in a lightweight, text-only client that does a similar thing? It's Vishal Verma's edict; I wonder if he looked that word up in the dictionary. You can get edict from edictionary.sourceforge.net. The edict program is nothing more than a Perl script, but it does the job quite nicely. In terms of installation, there really isn't much to do after extracting the tarred and gzipped bundle. You can run the script from the directory in which it was extracted, but you'll more than likely want to run a make install to save the script to /usr/bin.
To run the program, type edict followed by the word you want to look up. For a synonym lookup, type ethes followed by a word. If the word you are looking for isn't found, alternatives are offered.
The ethes program is simply a symbolic link to edict. Consequently, a thesaurus lookup is essentially the same process but with different results:
[marcel@mysystem edict]$ ethes program edict - Your personal command line dictionary. Verison 1.0. Looking up "program" in Merriam-Webster Online Thesaurus... Entry Word: program Function: noun Text: 1 a formulated plan listing things to be done or to take place especially in chronological order <the program of a concert> Synonyms: agenda, calendar, card, docket, programma, schedule, sked, timetable Related Words: bill; slate; plan Idioms order of the day 2 Synonyms: COURSE 3, line, policy, polity, procedure
Speaking of dictionaries, what is there to say about speaking dictionaries? More to the point, what is there to say about Jeffrey Clement's MWSpeaker, which he describes as the "worst speech synthesis software ever"? Those are his words, mes amis, not mine. The idea is simple, if not a bit silly. You type in a word or a phrase and MWSpeaker reads it back in human speech. The speech in question comes from the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary. In short, it finds each word's corresponding wav file, downloads it and plays it in sequence.
Given that MWSpeaker is a Python script, it requires no compiling per se. Simply download the program from www.jclement.ca/Projects/mwspeaker, then unpack the tarred and gzipped bundle. Before you actually can use the program, you need a few additional packages, most notably wxPython, pygame and PythonCard. To run the program, cd to mwspeaker-1.0 (where you unpacked MWSpeaker), and type the following:
mkdir data python mwspeaker.pyw
The data directory is where the wav files are stored. The GUI is simple. Type a word or phrase, click Say it and wait. I say "wait", because MWSpeaker downloads each word's wav file in turn before playing your selection. The results can be a lot of fun because the voices saying the words aren't consistent. You wind up with a strange mix of male and female voices.
All this is wonderful for the English language, but Linux and open-source developers come from every part of the world, after all, as do Linux users. It is true that an English language dictionary is useful to those who don't count English as their first language, but sometimes you must translate.
François, remplisser les verres de nos invités, s'il vous plâit.
To translate French (or Italian, or Spanish, or German and so on) into English, you might find yourself looking for a Babel Fish. What is a Babel Fish, you ask? According to Douglas Adams, the creator of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it is a small yellow fish that, when put in your ear, simultaneously translates any language you hear into the one you normally speak. But as Douglas Adams wrote, "Meanwhile, the poor Babel Fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."
KDE's combination web browser, file manager and Swiss Army knife, Konqueror, has hooks built in to AltaVista's Babel Fish. Surf on over to a foreign language web site, and you easily can translate the information you find there. For my example, I randomly picked a German language newspaper, Die Welt, which I learned means "The World".
When your page has loaded, click Tools on Konqueror's menubar, select Translate Web Page, then select from one of the language selections in the drop-down list. In my example above, I chose "German to English", et voilà! You now can read the information in a language that makes more sense to you.
For your own personal and local translation dictionary, you may want to consider taking a look at Ricardo Villalba's wordtrans at wordtrans.sourceforge.net (Figure 4). Compiling wordtrans can be a little tricky, but it isn't a great problem. A visit to TuxFinder (www.tuxfinder.org) turns up quite a number of precompiled packages. I downloaded both the base wordtrans package along with the wordtrans-kde packages in RPM format and installed them. If you are downloading packages, you do need both. You may also find a wordtrans-qt and a wordtrans-web package.
By default, wordtrans comes with English, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish translation dictionaries, but more can be added. You'll find links to other language files on the wordtrans web site and in the software itself. When you start up Kwordtrans, it may appear as though nothing happened, but look at your system tray in the Kicker panel and you'll see a little gray book icon. Click here and the Kwordtrans interface appears. To select your language of choice, click Dictionaries in the menubar and choose from the list. Choose the direction of your translation (for example, English to Spanish or Spanish to English), type in a word and press Enter.
As I mentioned, you can add additional dictionaries by clicking View on the menubar and selecting Introduction for some links. This not only extends wordtrans' capabilities, but some of the dictionaries available for download are more extensive than the default ones. To add a downloaded language file, click Dictionaries on the menubar, select New and follow the instructions. I downloaded and installed several from www.linuks.mine.nu/dictionary with excellent results.
I'm afraid I do not speak Hungarian, mes amis, but apparently I would have to say az idõ lejárt, which my desktop translator tells me means "time's up". It is indeed closing time, but there is time enough for another glass of wine before you go. Raise your glass and my faithful waiter, François, happily will take care of you. As you can see, with a little exploration in our Linux kitchens, we may one day be able to communicate effortlessly with the world. Until next time, mes amis, let us all drink to one another's health. A votre santé! Bon appétit!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
