Will Toor and Mike Salisbury at the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project have put together a good paper called Managed Lanes in Colorado (it's a PDF) that looks at the policy rationale behind (and a few issues with) creating additional highway capacity in the form of managed lanes with tolling, that also allow high occupancy vehicles and transit to take advantage of the investment, addressing some of the "Lexus Lane" criticism of using tolls in the public right of way (on projects that are still mostly publicly funded). It's not quite as fun to read as my magnum opus from this
- America's Cities Are Still Too Afraid to Make Driving Unappealing - Emily Badger - The Atlantic Cities
It's the relative attractiveness of different modes of transportation that shapes our choices, and American cities are still terrified of making driving less attractive. This really puts a cap on what fraction of trips we can get over to biking, walking and mass transit. Partly because driving is such an ingrained cultural norm (even if it's just as easy to drive as to bike, the default behavior amongst most people will be to drive), and partly because accommodating cars well means degrading the walking, biking and transit amenities. In a place like Boulder where people actually have alternatives to driving
- Granny flats flourish after fee waiver... in Portland
In 2010 Portland, Oregon made it cheap and easy for people to build ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units -- also known as "granny flats", "in-law apartments", "carriage houses", etc -- small secondary dwellings that are on an existing property), and to nobody's surprise, the tiny homes boomed. This kind of housing adds density without changing neighborhood character, lets people live lighter on the land, and helps makes housing affordable both for the renters, and the homeowners who now have a rental income that was impossible before. And they do it all without any public subsidy. Boulder can do this too.
- Hamburg's Car Free Greenway Network
There have been a bunch of links floating around recently about the German city of Hamburg's plans to "go car free" in the next 15-20 years. For example this BBC Future article which references this post on Inhabitat, which then points to Arch Daily which finally links directly to the actual city planning site from Hamburg (auf deutsch of course). Unfortunately, these seem to be just click-bait headlines. As far as I can tell (and I don't read German) the real point of the plan is to create an extensive, connected network of bike and pedestrian greenways that provide easy access
- The Growth Ponzi Scheme
A great series of 5 posts from Charles Mahron at Strong Towns on how the suburban growth pattern we've seen in the US for the last 60 years is indistinguishable from a growth Ponzi scheme. We use federal (or sometimes state) money to make capital investments, but leave the maintenance and operational costs to local governments, which usually have no revenue source sufficient to fulfill that obligation -- because this type of development does not come anywhere close to being economically productive enough to pay its own way in terms of tax revenues. For a while you can continue this

When Christians Speak of Violence in Islam
By Dan Martin
April 25, 2013
Dan Martin lives, and tries to follow Jesus, with his wife and three kids in Atlanta, GA. A public health and computer professional by day, he blogs on discipleship and faith at nailtothedoor.com.
The recent bombing attacks in Boston have once again raised the cry across the internet, rehearsing the perceived violence of Islam. In several recent discussions, some well-intentioned Christians have repeated the mantra that the Quran is filled with commands to commit violence against non-Muslims. Islam, they say, is an inherently bloodthirsty faith. Commonly cited as empirical fact are screeds such as this one: "The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule."
It is important to note that these statements are made by people and on websites whose express purpose is to "expose" or "correct" the claim that Islam is a peaceful religion. Frequently, such sites manifest considerable antipathy toward Islam and Muslims … as the homepage banner on one of these websites, for example, describes Islam as "one really messed up religion." To put it kindly, the source of this purportedly objective information is not remotely unbiased.
The fundamental truth is that it takes a person of faith to accurately interpret the texts of that faith.
For anyone interested, I propose an experiment:
Find an atheist. Not just an unbeliever, but someone who really hates Jesus.
Have that person start with the assumption that Christianity is a violent religion.
Now have him go through the Bible looking for proof of his preconception about our violence. Be sure he doesn't overlook the places where "a man after God's own heart" (1 Samuel 13.14) celebrates the orphaning and widowing of his enemies' families (Psalm 109:8-10). Be sure he lingers over the various causes of stoning people to death, and the genocides of the Pentateuch and Judges.
Check how many violent verses, from Genesis (or at least Exodus) to Revelation, your anti-theist finds. Now convince him you worship a God of love and peace.
I hope you would object—"But you have to understand the historical and literary context for those verses … progressive revelation, the nature of God revealed in Jesus Christ, old and new covenants, etc. No one can fully understand those things who has not studied them in a perspective of submission to the God who inspired them." I agree. This is a perfectly reasonable objection, whether you're talking about the Bible or the Quran. The fundamental truth is that it takes a person of faith to accurately interpret the texts of that faith. If I want to know what the Bible means, I'll ask a Christian, not a Muslim. If I want to know what the Vedas mean, I'll ask a Hindu. If I want to know what the Quran means, I'll ask a Muslim.
Furthermore, sola scriptura biblicist that I am, it is still true that to understand a faith or a "religion"—for all the backlash this word often receives—requires more than merely dispassionate study of its texts (or even passionate study, for that matter). Whatever one thinks of the thing called "Christianity," one cannot really know it without interacting with a Christian–or many different Christians. The community, the rituals, even some of the language, and yes, the sacred texts, are unintelligible without a knowledgeable insider to function as an interpreter. If you don't know any Christians, you don't know Christianity. If you don't know any Muslims, you don't know Islam.
We would also do well to remember that our Lord said "blessed are the peacemakers."
I am not suggesting there isn't a whole lot of horrible violence committed by Muslims in the name of Islam. There is. One doesn't have to be a Glenn Beck devotee to see the headlines. But when other Muslims I know and trust tell me that those violent, radical Muslims are abusing and even breaking the Quran, I believe them. Why do I believe them? Because I have seen plenty of violent, radical Christians abusing and violating my own holy scriptures as a pretext to commit terrible acts. Why should I expect it to be any different to other religions?
We should be in the business of entering into meaningful relationships with Muslims to show the love of Christ, but when we level accusations of violence at their deeply-held beliefs, we do our cause a great disservice. It is possible to be convinced of the rightness of the Gospel without accusing other religions of inherent violence. Our efforts to show Muslims—and the world—the love of Christ must be based on the truth, not assumptions or baseless, hurtful stereotypes.
We must oppose the bearing of false witness against our neighbors, and against those we style as our enemies. But even that isn't enough. It grieves me deeply that when arguments such as the "109 violent verses" are used, they are usually in the context of opposing Muslims who are trying to make peace with Christians, or opposing Christians who are trying to make peace with Muslims. This is not only tragic, it's monumentally counter-effective. We should welcome anyone who extends an olive branch to anybody else. To whatever extent any Muslim is a threat to me, it's not the one who is preaching peace from the Quran who poses that threat.
We would also do well to remember that our Lord said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." He did not qualify that phrase with the adjective "Christian." Neither, I believe, should we.

Re: violence in the bible,
Not to mention that God required his son to be violently tortured, slain and hung like a carcass.
Christ gave his life in that manner willingly, God didn't make anyone do anything.
on the OT: The old testament is the story of israel learning to be without a king. It isn't as simple as "God was a mean old SOB and then he got all nice and stuff with Jesus." What you see in the OT is that it was HARD LEARNING for Israel. Israel is translated: "The one who wrestles with God."
I say we need to quit being sympathetic to Muslim scripture. I don't have anything personal against anyone of any faith, but their scriptures are the complete antithesis of Xianity. If they follow the Quran, they shouldn't even believe that Christ died, which is absolutely preposterous and is not doubted by any serious scholar today.
As Christians, for us to cast judgement on another religion (as a whole) for abusing their scriptures would be very hypocritical, because we do it daily. We must understand that these individuals will not always accurately interpret scripture. Love is what will bring more clarity to them, not accusation.
There is a fatal flaw in this article and that is the assumption that the person you speak to is 'representative' of Islam, and their 'take' is what is historically recognised by Islamic Scholars. The simple fact is historically, violent jihad is embraced by the vast majority of scholars. The western version of Islam is also frequently made more palatable. (this is also the case with Christianity)
Non-Christians have the right to ask hard questions about violence in the Old Testament to Christians (who should be able to answer them on some level) and non-Muslims have the right to ask Muslims about the violence in the Quran and not take simple proof texts as rebuff (ie. no compulsion often used)
I absolutely agree with giving mercy and grace in discussions however theological justification from the Quran and Hadith is very strong when speaking of this level of violence. It is not a co-incidence that studies 15 - 25 percent of Muslims are supportive of such violent jihad, more a dismissive or happy to qualify such given the right circumstance.
Accusation does not help when speaking but neither does naivety - be informed - actually read what historical scholars say about violent jihad not simply what tv scholarship says. Do you trust TV evangelists of the Christian variety?
The objections the author has to the arguments about Islam being a violent religion (compared to Judaism and Christianity) are dealt with by a Muslim, Irshad Manji in her book "The Trouble with Islam Today". Strong criticism from a woman who remains a Muslim.

The former NJ Supreme Court jurist reminded me of what C.S. Lewis wrote many years ago: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Don't expect too much sympathy from the Queen Mum, especially in view of her husband, Bonnie Prince Philip's musings: "I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers . . . I must confess that I am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly virus." (Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, "If I Were an Animal," [London: Robin Clark, Ltd., 1986], from the Foreward). They feel the need to ". . . 'cull' the size of the surplus population." (Prince Philip, "Down to Earth: speeches and writings of His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh on the relationship of man with his environment," [London: Collins, 1988], p. 8). And most certainly they love children--but only the special ones born into elite families--like their's.

In it she gets to preview the collection and chat about it with the likes of Amy Astley and Cecelia Dean. She mingles with Jason Schwartzman, Elijah Wood, and Kirsten Dunst at the S/S 10 show.
And she gets to travel to the gorgeous plains of North Dakota where Laura and Kate shot the ad campaign and talk about the collection and its inspirations (Bonnie & Clyde, Harold & Maude, and Rosemary's Baby) atop bales of hay.
This so beats...

Hand wipes as dashboard cleaners
AJ of Thingamababy on the ever-handy wipe:
Here's a tip I wish I realized a year ago. I'm big on using handy wipes or hand sanitizer in the car when food is involved. After a wipe is used by a toddler, it's still plenty damp. If your child's hands were pretty clean to begin with, use the same wipe on the dashboard and other smooth surfaces to pick up dust. Yeah, that's right, I'm admitting I don't clean my car very often.

Blog updates directly to your inbox.
We will hold two public meetings over the next month on the Downtown Master Plan. The first will be an open house meeting from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12, and 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Jan. 13, in the Community Room at the McConico Building, 301 W. Bagdad Ave. The second will be a formal public hearing at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3, at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting at City Hall, 221 E. Main St.
The open house will provide an opportunity to review the latest significant updates to the Plan document and ask questions of City staff in an informal setting. The public hearing is an opportunity to provide direct input to the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to its vote on the Plan.Our vision is to create a vibrant, walkable downtown district that offers distinctive shopping, dining, working and living opportunities. The Master Plan is needed to guide the policies and ordinances, infrastructure and open space improvements, and financing options crucial to the orderly development and economic viability of a resurgent urban core.Here are the issues brought up most recently regarding the plan:Property rightsSome concerns we've heard since last January are about potential changes in the Flat, the neighborhood between Mays and Lewis streets south of Brushy Creek. There is nothing in the Plan that will force anyone to sell their home to make way for new development like condos or apartments. If you want your home to stay a single-family residence, then it will stay that way. You control what happens to your property.That said, neighboring properties in the Flat may change. One of the reasons we are developing the Plan is because some downtown property owners are interested in redeveloping. The Plan is designed to provide a common vision for the area and offer some predictability to the types of redevelopment that occur. Without a plan, haphazard development will be scattered throughout the area with no regard to the long-term viability of the distinct neighborhoods in the area. We'll be without policies and ordinances to protect viable residential neighborhoods while supporting redevelopment where appropriate.East Main Street ballfieldsNeighbors of the property have requested the draft Plan be amended to include a portion of the ballfields into the proposed Historic Residential Character Overlay zoning, and that the overlay be implemented with zoning of the first portion of downtown, if not sooner. The Greater Round Rock Community Foundation, owner of the property, has plans for building social service facilities and administrative offices on the land. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at its Nov. 19 retreat, felt like the overlay was inappropriate for the property since there are no residential structures on it. What we are recommending is that a note be included on the Vision Plan map (currently on page 27) and in the Design and Land Use recommendations in Chapter 4 of the Plan. The note will state the property should be designed as a combination of open space and family-oriented social service facilities and administrative offices, and that the property be comprehensively planned to effectively integrate those uses. A special zoning district (PUD) will be required to develop this property. This will include neighborhood input.We want to the note and the Plan document to reflect the consensus reached at the special meeting held during the charrette last January. Brushy Creek trail The concerns brought up by residents who live on Vista Drive regarding the trail planned for Brushy Creek are understandable and legitimate. The issue was discussed briefly by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its Dec. 16 meeting. The issues – about safety, impact to creek views, division of property – will be addressed during the design process for the trail, which will occur at some point in the future. There is no funding currently identified for the trail project. Form-Based CodeThe Form-Based Code will codify recommendations made in the Plan for land use and design. We will begin work on the Code after the Plan receives recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by the City Council. The Plan provides general guidance; the Code will provide the specifics. There will be many details to work out as we develop the Code in conjunction with area residents and businesses, the development community and the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The basic idea of the Code is to allow for transitions in land use from higher density and mixed uses along arterial roads like Mays Street and U.S. 79, to lower density and primarily residential uses further from busy corridors. The Plan calls for the creation of "Transect Zones" to accomplish the zoning transition. In response to input from residents in the area who live on Sunset Drive and Summit Streets, we have proposed changes to the future zoning recommendation for that area, which is bounded by IH 35 to the west and Mays Street to the east, the creek to the south and development on U.S. 79 and the church on the north. Because of the proximity to IH 35 and existing commercial and multi-family zoning west of Summit, we are recommending future zoning densities higher than the first draft of the Plan suggested.It is important to remember that the future zoning recommendations are only recommendations. As stated in the Property Rights section above, nothing in the Plan will force anyone to change the use of their properties.
This post was mentioned on Twitter by roundrocknews: Upcoming meetings for Round Rock Downtown Master Plan http://bit.ly/60YbsD
We were unable to attend the open house, but would like more information on the extension of Main to IH35. This seems like an unnecessary expense and a potential traffic problem for both Main and IH35 Access Road. We don't understand the advantage when the two existing access routes to IH35 (HWY 620 and McNeil) seem to be sufficient.
The Main Street extension is recommended to include an "iconic" bridge that would increase the visibility of downtown to IH 35 motorists, as well as improve circulation in the area.
An important element of urban design is to provide multiple options for motorists so no one or two streets carry all the traffic. As Round Rock continues to grow, it will be increasingly important to have more than one route to access downtown.
Spreading out the traffic makes the area more pedestrian friendly, too, which is a goal of the Plan.

Star Wars AT-ST Cat Playhouse: CAT-ST
October 16th, 2012
I'm pretty sure the battle of Endor would have turned out differently if the AT-STs had been piloted by cats instead of Imperial troopers. Cats don't fall for all of those old jungle traps. Plus they would just jump out of the vehicles and claw Wicket and his Ewok friends to pieces.
This AT-ST is a cat house. Not that kind of cat house. A cat play house. For a cat named Buffy. Her owner built her a new Star Wars AT-ST playhouse from left over materials from some home renovations. That's one lucky cat.
Cat AT-STs would have kicked butt on Endor and they could have been controlled from space, where the second Death Star would shine lasers down on targets and watch these kittytroopers pounce on their targets.

Leveraging Big Data and Cloud for Better Security
As the sophistication of information security breaches continues to grow, organizations realize that they need to do a better job of identifying threats and preventing them from causing data loss and other damage. These companies are exploring a variety of technologies and techniques to bolster their security, including two emerging areas: big data analytics and cloud-based security services.
"Information security needs radical rethinking," says Steve Wilson, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research. "The lessons of data breaches over the past few years are stark Inc. Some of the companies affected by advanced persistent threats and by new hardware attacks were probably doing the best they could."
Status quo approaches to security are not working anymore, so information security executives need to look for alternative solutions. Many will decide to work with managed security service providers and cloud-based security services, according Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst at research firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). "Others will bolster their security infrastructure with new controls on end points and networks, as well as better security analytics."
Clearly, big data—the enormous stores of information that companies are gathering from a variety of structured and unstructured sources—holds much promise as a security tool. And more companies are considering security data as part of their big data efforts.
According to a 2013 report from ESG, 44 percent of organizations surveyed said security data collection and analysis would be considered big data within their organizations, while another 44 percent said they would likely consider security data collection and analysis as part of big data within the next 24 months.
There is a growing volume of security data, ESG says. In the early 2000s, security data collection and analysis focused on network perimeter devices, such as firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention systems. Over time, security analysts expanded data collection to include internal network devices, servers, applications and databases, the firm says.
Newer IT initiatives such as mobile technology, cloud computing and virtualization have added to security data collection. As a result, 86 percent of organizations collect either substantially more or somewhat more security data today than they did two years ago, according to the ESG research.
Using Big Data Analytics for Security
At Automatic Data Processing (ADP), a provider of business processing services for payroll, human resource and other areas, big data analytics for security "represents significant opportunities that we are manically focused on," says VJay LaRosa, senior director of converged security architecture.
Two key factors have driven the company to use big data for security: the capabilities of adversaries have evolved significantly, and the surge of interconnected devices and the increased reliance on the cloud have created a significant increase in security-related data.
"We are accumulating events at about six billion logs per day in our warehouse, front-ended by a complex event-processing engine," LaRosa says. "We are actively consuming this data in a relational fashion in a massively parallel data warehouse in order to support the converged nature of our threat management and monitoring programs."
The data ADP is accumulating comes from security tools, networks and business transactions. As part of its big data security effort, the company is building an 80-node Hadoop cluster for unstructured data storage, with an integrated relational database sitting on top of the Hadoop cluster.
"We are working on developing new real-time streaming analytics with in-memory profiling, coupled with a new Complex Event Processing Engine," LaRosa says. "We are also working to leverage the built-in, open-source machine learning capabilities that exist in these big data platforms to help advance our capabilities and protect our clients' funds and data."
ADP doesn't disclose the specific products or vendors it's using, but LaRosa says the company has been using its first-generation platform for about two years. "We are actively building the second-generation infrastructure, which will enable expanded capabilities," he says. "This new infrastructure will allow us to grow and scale at the size and speeds we need in order to keep pace with this rapidly changing environment."
The big data analytics efforts have allowed ADP to collect and store raw logs at massive speeds, parse and query the collected logs at speeds supporting critical investigations, and embed analytics into the stored logs to detect malicious patterns or abnormal behaviors.
Evaluating Cyber-Threat Detection
Also exploring big data for security is Health Care Service Corp. (HCSC), which operates Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The company is in the midst of a research-and-development project focused on evaluating big data and advanced data visualization technologies for potential applications to cyber-threat detection.
"Our team has done an extensive amount of research in this area over the last four years," says Tom Baltis, executive director, IT Governance, Security and Risk Management at HCSC. The company expects to launch a big data/visualization security initiative within two months, and, by the end of this year, it hopes to have a fully functional solution in place throughout the enterprise.
"We already have a very sophisticated set of capabilities for analyzing security events and detecting cyber-security incidents, but we're looking to innovate in this space by applying big data technologies," Baltis reports.
By using business intelligence (BI) and data visualization tools applied to various types of data the company gathers, HCSC hopes to be able to detect types of incidents that traditional security tools are not able to find—or are even aware of. Its priority is to enhance real-time or near-real-time incident detection.
HCSC also aims to detect security incidents based on data that it has accumulated over the past weeks and months, by applying data analysis tools. By analyzing this data and translating that analysis into automated rules, the company hopes to be able to more quickly detect similar incidents when they occur, and even to predict future security threats and prevent them from causing damage.
"We're always looking for more effective ways of identifying security incidents—trying to become better at what we do and discover things we don't see with traditional tools," Baltis explains.
As far as which technology products HCSC will use for its big data/visualization effort, the company is "casting a broad net," Baltis says, exploring a variety of commercial and open-source BI reporting and processing products and services.
"In the end, our solution will most likely comprise a number of tools, and it might involve some custom-built tools," Baltis says. He says the company aggregates extensive amounts of data, and that data will be continually reviewed and analyzed to detect patterns that may indicate a cyber-security incident.
Turning to Cloud-Based Security
Companies are also investing in cloud-based security services to thwart attacks.
In January 2014, Northrop Grumman, a global aerospace and defense technology company, began using CA CloudMinder, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering from CA Technologies that provides user provisioning, self-service user management and an access request system; risk-based authentication; and federated single sign-on for both cloud-based and on-premise applications.
"With identity federation and single sign-on, users can enter a single password to access any application—whether on the customer's government or company-owned cloud or on Northrop Grumman's cloud infrastructure," says Zaki Saleh, business development director, Health IT, at Northrop Grumman.
The company's federal and state health and human services customers "are faced with increased demand from their constituents to access government services online," Saleh explains. "As demands increase, our customers are looking for identity and access management [IAM] solutions to allow constituents to access services through multifactor authentication."
Once a constituent is authenticated, there are subsequent needs for managing access and authorization for specific services or applications, Saleh adds. CA CloudMinder, which can be deployed either on-premise or on a private or public cloud, will help address those needs, he says.
These and other emerging technologies are helping organizations around the world deal with growing and ever-more-virulent security risks.

Logan Schuss remains as the projected first overall pick in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft in IL Indoor's first-round Mock Draft 2.0. (Photo: Ohio State Athletics)
IL Indoor co-editor and NLL Draft analyst Stephen Stamp, winner of the Tom Borrelli Award as the league's Media Person of the Year, has released his Mock Draft 2.0 for the first round of the 2013 NLL Entry Draft. While Ohio State University's Logan Schuss remains the projected first overall pick, other players such as UMBC forward Scott Jones (Burnaby) and Bellarmine University goaltender Dillon Ward (Kitchener-Waterloo) have seen their stock improve with strong performances in offseason summer ball.
"It's been two months since IL Indoor took a first stab at guessing just how the first round of the 2013 NLL Entry Draft will play out (Mock Draft 1.0). It's also just about two months until the draft is held. So it seems like the perfect time to roll out Mock Draft 2.0," Stamp writes. "There's definitely been some change in how I see it going, with five of the nine picks changing since the first version. Some of the changes are players shuffling about, but a pair of new players have worked their way into the mix. There are also some guys knocking at the door of the first round thanks to their strong summers."
1) Minnesota Swarm (from Buffalo): Logan Schuss, LF, New Westminster and Ohio State
"Mock Draft 1.0 said that Schuss isn't quite the lock that Mark Matthews was last year. Well, since the Ryan Benesch trade to Buffalo, he is now. You just can't make that trade without knowing that you have Schuss to add to the lineup and expecting that he'll take up much of the slack on the left side. The big lefty has scored 28 goals and 22 assists for 50 points in 10 Western Lacrosse Association games with the Bellies."
5) Minnesota Swarm (from Edmonton): Scott Jones, RF, Burnaby and UMBC
"As related in last week's Prospect Report, Jones is on the rise thanks to another great season with the Lakers. If the Mammoth don't jump on Jones, don't expect him to get by the Swarm's third pick of the round. He has 22 goals and 29 assists. And, as Teddy Jenner pointed out last week, he's a terrific team player with a great work ethic."
8) Washington Stealth: Dillon Ward, G, Kitchener-Waterloo and Bellarmine
"He hasn't played a lot of games as the backup to Mike Poulin in KW, but when Ward has been called upon he has been excellent for the Kodiaks. He sports a 3-2 record, 7.64 goals against average and .813 save percentage. Ward has proven that he's ready to play at the next level and a team wouldn't need to worry about putting him into games right away. Don't be surprised if he doesn't make it to the Stealth at Number 8."
Check out the rest of Stamp's Mock Draft 2.0 on IL Indoor to see which prospects might hear their names called when teams step up to the podium at the Draft this fall.

LOS ANGELES – In years past, UCLA coach Ben Howland remembers having 45 sets prepared for his team to go to at any given moment on offense.
Heading into their game with Stanford last Saturday, this year's Bruins cut that to just nine – a much simpler offense than many of Howland's other teams have run.
But as they showed Saturday in a victory on the road against the Cardinal, the Bruins' offense is apparently most effective when it's keeping things simple.
Saturday's triumph marked the first time UCLA has scored more than 85 points since its Dec.28 upset of then-No.7 Missouri. The Bruins shot 54 percent from the field, and their offense, despite 14 turnovers, ran as smoothly as it has during the conference season.
A simpler offense, Howland said, allowed players to focus less on the plays and more on just reading what the defense gave them.
"We're young," Howland said. "We're working on execution."
Junior forward Travis Wear agreed that the Bruins' nine-play offense against Stanford was much more effective, given the team's youth.
That's especially important going forward, as UCLA looks for a way to complement its dynamic transition game with a capable halfcourt one.
"Things run a lot smoother," Wear said of the decreased amount of offensive sets.
With a week off before Sunday's game against crosstown rival USC, the Bruins have spent more practice time on skill development, including reading defenses and setting screens – two things Howland said are keys to adding complexity to their current set of nine offensive sets.
"It's nine plays, but there's multiple plays that you're doing out of each," Howland said. "It's about reading what the defense gives you."
After battling flu symptoms the week leading up to UCLA's last matchup with crosstown rival USC, freshman leading scorer Shabazz Muhammad missed practice on Tuesday fighting another ailment.
This time, however, Muhammad missed practice because of pink eye, which caused his eyes to swell and forced him to take out his contacts. Howland said Muhammad doesn't have glasses, so he couldn't take part in any part of practice.
The condition isn't expected to linger, and Muhammad should be back to practice soon, Howland said.

Friday, September 28, 2012 - True To SizeComfortable all day/night and supportive without smashing. Why has it taken so long for men's underwear to be designed to keep your package up front/in a pouch and end either sitting on or swinging with every step? By far my favorite!

Ultra Lightweight, Compact & Convenient
Download Combi Stroller Range Catalogue
Compare all strollers
Top Ten reasons why Combi is first choice for SMART parents;
Combi Strollers Durability Video
1. Suitable from newborn to 17/20 kgs
Combi strollers have multiple recline positions from almost flat to upright. They have a weight carrying capacity of 17 or 20 kgs (depending on the model). This means you can use your Combi for your newborn baby right through until they are a toddler (3-4 years approx.) and you don't need to buy any other costly attachments like bassinets or other accessories. So they are great value as well.
2. Lightweight
Combi strollers are the lightest strollers available yet they have loads of features normally only found in brands double the size and weight. This means they are easy to lift in and out of the boot and easy to push and manoeuvre. And because they are made from high quality materials and assembled using Japanese quality control principles they are durable and very reliable as well.
3. Very Compact
Combi strollers fold up into a very compact & practical size meaning they will comfortably fit the boot of even small cars and still leave room for your shopping. This means you don't need to buy a bigger car just to fit your pram or stroller.
4. One hand open & fold
If you need to fold or open your Combi stroller while holding your baby, no problem. All Combi strollers can be opened and folded with just one hand.
5. Huge UV rated canopy
Combi canopies have a very high UV rating 95% on most models to ensure your baby is protected from the harsh Aussie sun. And given the canopy is huge, there is no need to place an untidy-looking cloth over your stroller to protect your baby from the sun so you can look good while keeping your baby safe and protected.
6. Self-standing when folded
When folded, all Combi strollers stand up. This means they are very easy to store whether at home, using public transport or at your local cafe. Another benefit of this feature is that you don't need to bend down to open or close your stroller so it's easy on your back.
7. Reversible Handle
(excluding Well Carry model)
Studies have proven there are numerous benefits to being able to see your baby especially in the first few months. Some of the identified benefits include; the baby being easy to settle, learning to speak sooner and for mums they have been reported to be happier and less stressed.
See article for more information
8. A continuous curved handle
Because Combi strollers have a continuous, connected handle, (not separated handles), you can easily push the stroller from the middle of the handle using one hand. This means if you need to carry the baby and push the stroller it's easy or if you just want to sip a cool drink while pushing the stroller it's no problem. (Remember always wear your suppled tether strap (wrist band) for extra safety.)
9. Soft, breathable fabrics
(easily removed for washing)
Combi seat fabrics are super soft and comfy and made from breathable fabrics that keep baby cool in summer and warm in winter. They can also be easily removed for cleaning (hand washing only).
10. Over 50 years of caring
Last but not least, Combi has been producing innovative , high quality and safe parenting products for over 50 years and it's one of the largest parenting brands in the world so it's a brand you can trust.

ar·tic·u·la·tionnoun \(ˌ)är-ˌtik-yə-ˈlā-shən\ (Medical Dictionary)
Medical Definition of ARTICULATION
articulationnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
In phonetics, the shaping of the vocal tract (larynx, pharynx, and oral and nasal cavities) by positioning mobile organs (such as the tongue) relative to other parts that may be rigid (such as the hard palate) and thus modifying the airstream to produce speech sounds. Articulators include the tongue, lips, teeth and upper gum ridge, hard and soft palate, uvula, pharyngeal wall, and glottis. Primary articulation refers either to where or how the vocal tract is narrowed or blocked to produce a consonant, or to the tongue contour, lip shape, and larynx height that determine the sound of a vowel. Other articulators may be used to produce a secondary articulation such as palatalization (the front of the tongue approaching the hard palate), glottalization (complete or partial closure of the vocal cords), or nasalization (simultaneous passage of air through the nasal and oral tracts).

PGP Keysigning Party, SCALE 10XSubmitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 2011-12-13 21:32
As many of you know, at nearly every SCALE I've organized a PGP keysigning party (if you're not familiar with PGP, see my PGP Guide). They've grown every year and we are now the biggest part of the "BoF" section of SCALE. Two years ago we broke our record with over 50 attendees and this year we hope to further strengthen the web of trust by breaking 100!

Have you booked your travel for SCALE yet? The Hilton LAX is offering SCALE attendees a discounted room rate of $109/night as part of this year's show. That is one of the best rates in the LAX corridor!
Even if you are local, consider spending the night! Its a great way to avoid traffic and there are always plenty of evening activities at SCALE once the main conference program ends.

The Southern California Linux Expo — SCALE 10X — celebrates its 10th year when it opens on the Martin Luther King holiday weekend (Jan. 20-22). As this is a month ahead of the usual February date for SCALE, things seem to be coming together for the event.

Open Source software is alive and well. However, if you asked a member of a PC Club (ie Windows) about Linux, he or she might or might not know about it. Even if they did and were interested, they'd probably have no idea how to get started with it

One of the absolute top books
You cant stop laughing
He is just hilarious!
Everything is funny. Maybe the Wall Street part stands out a bit as being especially funny. Or the outsourcing of jobs part.
It is compelling! A very satirical analysis of the downfall of America. A lot of sharp observations taken to the extreme. Obviously not a very scientific take on the current issues, but definitely food for thought presented in a very welcoming and funny way!
"Too short!"
I love this book and Stephen's genius but it was too short to waste a credit on!
"Best for Steven Colbert Fans"
If your politics lean to the left, and if you are a big fan of sarcastic humor, you'll enjoy this audio book. I wouldn't recommend this to all my friends, especially those who's politics are to the right of center or who take things literally too much. All in all, not for everyone, but if you fit the target, you'll love it.
"Colbert Does it Again"
If you love Colbert you will love this audio book. The man is a magician when it comes to satire. He never fails to impress and his commentary is both fluid, coherent and funny. It's like watching an Episode of the Colbert Report.
I would say I could compare America Again to "I am America and So Can You" but I never read it so I cannot say that. However, I imagine that it was just as funny and oddly just as informative.
Colbert is entertaining. Plain and simple. He read his book like no one else could read it. Like I said it was like watching an episode of the Colbert Report. I could imagine every word in my head.
Not surprising, now that I think about, is that this book was more informative than watching cable news. Then again, I could say the same thing about the Colbert Report.
If you need to just laugh about he state of this country for 3 hours, get this book. Then when you are done, go do something about it!
"The first was better"
Stephen's show is great, so I'll always be willing to, but not because of this particular book
What made it such a lackluster experience was that nothing really stood out or was a scathing, deliciously sarcastic, as his first book was.
Not as great as I Am America
Meh.... not really.
You won't miss out much if you don't get it. I'd recommend getting the first if you haven't, yet heard it, instead of this one.
"Entertaining Listen"
Very entertaining. If you like Colbert then you'll like this book.
I like Colbert Report because its an entertaining way to learn about politics and current events. I found this book equally entertaining as his show but didn't learn anything useful.
"Not funny. The guy hates everything around."
Not funny. The guy hates everything around.
Not funny. The guy hates everything around.
Not funny. The guy hates everything around.
Not funny. The guy hates everything around.
Not funny. The guy hates everything around.
Duda Right Thing
"Love Political Satire"
Stephen Colbert does not disappoint. This book was absolutely enthralling. I couldn't stop laughing and it makes you think. If you like Jon Stewarts book you will love this book as well.
"My first audio book!"
I am a fan of the show so I was prepared for a certain level of sarcasm. The performance was just as well done as any episode of the Colbert Report. While I didn't "read" the book it was adapted very well into an audio book. The only real negative comment I have is that the sarcasm was too thick (at least for me). I never knew there was such a thing, but at times I actually forgot the topic he was even referring to because it was so obscured by sarcasm. It was a lot of fun to listen to, but it falls very short of an insightful read if that's what you're looking for. I wouldn't advise to listen or not based off of my opinion, but if you think you like sarcastic humor, this could prove you wrong.
"Hilarious and surprisingly informative. As always."
I imagine I will be playing certain parts for my friends every now and again.

Almeria Private Tours
The warm and beautiful Costa de Almeria is the sunniest region in Spain - and perhaps one of the few places in the Mediterranean where you can still find a secluded beach. Let a friendly local guide take you off the beaten track on a private Almeria tour.
The city of Almeria faces the sparkling coast, and is crowned by a 10th century Arab fortress called the Alcazaba - a great place for a view of the city and Bay below. Outside of the city, the spectacular Cabo de Gata Natural Park was formed by volcanic activity and boasts a truly unique coastal landscape. Your guide will happily drive you to the best spots around Almeria to see its wetlands, saltpans and magnificent sandy beaches. Take advantage of your guide's knowledge of the local cuisine to find little-known restaurants where you can enjoy an authentic Andalusian meal.
Whether you hope to explore nature, history or contemporary culture, your guide can accommodate your interests on a private Almeria tour.
Tour Guide Legal Requirements
Each Spanish region (comunidad) has its Associations and laws regarding who can and cannot be a tour guide. All regions, except the Basque region, requires a license to guide. Guides must pass an exam to get this license.
No license required is the person is not 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area'. So if the tour was for shopping or nightlife a guide license would not be required.

AERT Awaits OSHA's Investigation of Fatal Fire
Posted 11/18/2013 12:00 am
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety & Health Administration has not completed its investigation of a fire at an Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies facility that killed a worker July 17.
The conflagration knocked out production at the Springdale facility until Aug. 16, and AERT officials estimated the total loss of production at $7 million.
Insurance companies have advanced AERT $2.5 million. That helped limit the AERT's third-quarter loss to $1.1 million.
"Fiscally, we are still tallying the effect of the outage," AERT's new CEO Tim Morrison, told Arkansas Business. (More from him in this week's Executive Q&A.)
A week after the Springdale fire, there was an explosion in a company silo in Lowell. The silo was later dismantled.
Morrison said a safe work environment is the company's No. 1 priority.
"Prior to the accident, the team's efforts to improve had been showing very significant results, including the achievement of several major safety milestones," Morrison said. "We have redoubled our efforts to improve our safety systems. We have enlisted help from our best experts available to us. We are in the process of installing enhancements to our buildings and equipment to provide additional layers of protection against fires to our associates."
Morrison said the fire's impact on the company's bottom line — and possible fines from OSHA if it determines there were violations — was one thing, but the loss of a member of his company's team has been the toughest pill to swallow.
"The emotional toll of the accident to the AERT associates and our leadership has been tremendous," Morrison said. "We are a small company, and all those injured and affected are our friends."
