11 | Prince Shembo OLB, Notre Dame | 6'1" | 250 | B | 6.4 | Full Scouting Report |
Scouting Report: Prince Shembo – Outside Linebacker US PRESSWIREPrince Shembo gives ND consistent pressure coming off the edge. Shembo is a 2-year starter at "Cat" linebacker. In that position he is half linebacker/half defensive end. He probably plays with his hand on the ground 50% of the defensive snaps. Shembo is a bit on the short side at just over 6-1 but he has good bulk (about 255), long arms and is very strong. He is a very good athlete with change of direction, balance, speed and body control. I feel he is one of the most underrated players on the Notre Dame defense. He has a nonstop motor and is very competitive. He has top instincts and is always around the ball. He shows strength at the point, can shed blocks and is a sure tackler. While not used in coverage a lot, he shows he can get depth with his drops, can transition and has good receiver awareness. When rushing the passer, Shembo knows how to get low and use leverage. He is very flexible and can use his hands to get off blocks. He gets consistent pressure coming off the edge. Overall, I see Shembo as a 3-4 OLB at the next level. His speed and measurables will play into where he gets drafted, but this guy is a football player and will be a sure starter in the NFL early in his career. |
12 | Christian Kirksey OLB, Iowa | 6'2" | 235 | C | 6.4 | Stats |
13 | Boseko Lokombo OLB, Oregon | 6'3" | 226 | C | 6.4 | Full Scouting Report |
Scouting Report: Boseko Lokombo – Outside Linebacker Lokombo is a fifth year senior and a two year starter at strong side outside linebacker. He will also line up in the middle on some downs. While only a two year starter, he has gotten significant playing time in each of the last four years. Lokombo is a bit small for an OLB. He is listed at being 6'3 – 229. While he is supposed to be weight room strong, he doesn't carry that weight room strength over to the playing field. His best trait is his athleticism. He is a smooth athlete with body control and speed. He is listed at being a 4.7 guy but plays faster. On tape he looks to have average instincts. He is not a quick reactor and doesn't anticipate well. He sees and reacts rather than instinctively get to the ball. While he plays with good effort he is not what I would call a physical player. He does not show strength and power at the point and can be slow to get off blocks. While he is around the ball a lot he doesn't make a lot of plays. His tackling ability is average. He does wrap up but you seldom see him "go thru" the ball carrier. Lokombo does have good coverage skills. He gets walked off at times and lined up over the slot. He shows he can play some man coverage and shows awareness in zone. He gets depth with his drops and can transition. As a pass rusher, he is average at best. He doesn't come hard and lacks moves to slip blocks and the hand use to shed. Overall, I feel Lokombo is better suited to play in a 4-3 scheme. He doesn't have the size and power to play in a 3-4 at the NFL level. While I don't see him as an every down player at this time, I do see him being used as a nickel linebacker because of his cover skills. He is going to have to get stronger, develop his hand use, and become more aggressive if he wants to be an every down type player. I would only draft him late, but there will be teams that will fall in love with his athleticism and draft him higher. Follow me on twitter @greggabe |
14 | Aaron Lynch OLB, South Florida | 6'6" | 244 | C | 6.4c | Full Scouting Report |
Scouting Report: In the 2011 college football season, Aaron Lynch was one of the most dominant freshman defensive linemen in college football. After his first year, many thought that, by this year, he would challenge Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina for the honor of being the first defensive lineman picked in the 2014 Draft. As a freshman at Notre Dame, Lynch's size was about 6'6 – 262. He played as a five-technique defensive end in Notre Dame's 3-4 scheme. He flashed dominating ability and played with a physicality not seen in many 18 year-old freshman. He showed natural pass rush ability to go along with very good overall athleticism. Being tall with long arms, it was thought that by this season he would be a 285-290 pound defensive end and totally dominate games. After his freshman season, things changed. He was not happy at Notre Dame and there were personal issues that kept his mind more focused on Florida than South Bend. He ended up transferring to South Florida after the spring semester of his freshman year. At first, it was thought that he was doing the right thing by transferring, because he was taking care of the personal issues that he faced. While that is partially true, it is also true that he alienated many of his teammates at Notre Dame, was not a "team guy", and was very selfish. People at Notre Dame will tell you that he was a "me first" type of person and had a very high opinion of himself. After the transfer, Lynch had to sit out the 2012 season in accordance with NCAA rules. He worked on the scout team, and the USF people were excited about the talent Lynch brought to the table. Fast forward to today, and the player we saw in 2011 was not the player we saw in 2013. South Florida plays a 4-3, and Lynch lined up as a defensive end. The 6'6 – 260 pound freshman was now a 6'6 – 244 pound redshirt sophomore. His play on the field was nowhere near what we saw two years ago. In 2011, Lynch was a consistently high effort player. This year, I saw very mediocre effort. Lynch doesn't play with the strength and power I saw two years ago. His athleticism was there, the power and effort was not. While Lynch shows he can get off the ball, he also shows a tendency to play tall and can be slow to shed. There are too many plays where he is a non-factor. As a pass rusher, if he doesn't beat his opponent with his first move, he basically stops. Snap-to-whistle effort is not there. While he can put together a counter move, you don't see it very often. As a freshman, Lynch showed a fairly good bull rush. That part of his game is just about gone. His lack of pursuit effort really bothers me. He seldom chases the ball. Overall, Lynch is a shell of the player he was two years ago. I think the main reason for that is his selfish attitude and lack of good football character. This is a highly talented player who has the tools to play in the NFL, but does he have the right mind set? Lynch could get drafted, especially if you go back and look at his 2011 tape. Still, he is a big question mark who could turn into a wasted pick. I have no doubt that he will look very good at workouts for scouts. That isn't the concern. The concern is from the neck up.

20 | Michael Sam OLB, Missouri | 6'5" | 255 | C | 6.4 | Full Scouting Report |
Scouting Report: Michael Sam – Defensive Line Sam is another fifth year senior. He started nine games in 2012 and is a starter this year. He plays in a rotation but still plays about 60% of the defensive snaps. Sam was not on a lot of clubs scouting lists early in the season, but you can't help but notice him on tape. He is an undersized defensive end (6'2 – 255), but he is athletic, quick, and has play speed. On top of that, he is very competitive and plays hard every snap. Sam plays both from a three-point and two-point stance. He is very quick off the ball, and he uses that quickness to be disruptive. While he lacks the size and power to consistently hold the point versus big tackles, he uses his quickness to shoot gaps. His change of direction and lateral movement are good, and that keeps him active at the line of scrimmage. He is quick to find the ball and makes plays. He is a good pass rusher at the college level and can stay low to get under his opponents. He has quick hands and shows the ability to put counter moves together. He is an average bull rusher. He is a top pursuit player because of his motor, play speed, and always taking good angles to the ball. Sam's best chance to play in the NFL is as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He has very good outside linebacker size to go along with the required play speed and athleticism. He is going to have to prove that he can drop into coverage and transition. If he does that well, then I see him as a late-round pick. Follow me on twitter @greggabe |

Blame the memory lapse on John Barleycorn, Jamie's constant companion. Or blame it on the fact that Josie and Jamie, the world-weary protagonists of A Moon for the Misbegotten, now getting a solid production at the New Theatre, are doomed to find only fleeting comfort, a brand that's as effervescent as it is profound.
This was O'Neill's last play, written in 1943 but not recognized as a masterpiece until Jose Quintero revived it with Colleen Dewhurst and Jason Robards at the Circle in the Square in 1973.
It shows its age in some of its particulars: How many people still recognize the specific trappings of despair in the poverty of the Hogans, Irish-American tenant farmers with old-country brogues and bare feet? And what of poor Jamie Tyrone? The story he tells Josie of his shame at buying a whore to keep him company after his mother's death makes him sound all too human, not depraved as it may have in the 1920s, the decade in which the play is set. And Jamie's idol worship of the virginal Josie will seem, to modern audiences, like something that calls out for psychotherapy rather than sips of bourbon.
Still, as the New Theatre production proves, the play can transcend its musty origins and break our hearts anew. Rafael de Acha's well-appointed set depicting the ramshackle Hogan cottage and yard accentuates the hopeless environs in which the story unfolds, under the steady direction of Roberto Prestigiacomo. Despite their tattered clothes, however, Josie, her brother Mike, who runs off as the play begins, her father Phil, and Jamie all appear a tad too well-kempt for folks who are supposed to be down on their luck. Fortunately the strength of the production overcomes this oversight. Only Bill Hindman's hair, dyed a hideous orange color that does indeed exist in the Irish gene pool but not on the head of a man of Phil Hogan's age, stands out as ridiculous.
But there are no wrong notes in the casting. Through masterful manipulation of her body, Bethany Bohall (who is director Prestigiacomo's wife) fills out the physical attributes of Josie, described by O'Neill as "so oversize for a woman she is almost a freak." There's nothing monstrous about Bohall's performance, though it's as emotionally muscular as Josie's brute physical strength. Her long day's journey into night is the heart of this production. In Bohall Josie's boldness belies a naivete with men. It's easy to see why Jamie Tyrone could see through her bluster and find a lack of guile that's sexy and endearing at the same time.
As her opposite number, David Kwiat's dark and elegant physical appearance doesn't immediately call to mind Jamie Tyrone (the character is based on O'Neill's brother, also a washed-up actor and drunk). And his entrance, as a cocky youngster in a straw boater, is too dandyish for this character. But Kwiat's performance is so deft and sure of itself that he easily won me over. Not only is he convincing as half of the odd central couple, he also has great chemistry with Hindman, with whom he must enact a hilarious scene about the Hogans' pigs, which apparently keep wandering into the neighbor's ice pond.
As that irate neighbor T. Steadman Harder, a millionaire heir to the Standard Oil fortune, the talented Heath Kelts doesn't have much to do (the action is all in the Hogans' dialogue). Still he's drawn up as more of a buffoon than O'Neill intended. Prestigiacomo plays the scene for cheap laughs, when in fact there's more comedy to be had by playing it straight. Indeed there's no need to dress up this scene, not when the playwright has Phil Hogan turn on his accuser with a choice bit of blarney, demanding, "What the hell d'you mean by your contemptible trick of breaking down your fence to entice my poor pigs to take their death in your ice pond?"
If there's no real electricity in this production, New Theatre gives us the second-best thing: a sustained, intelligent, compelling drama by one of the best playwrights we've ever had.
Actor/recording artist/Newport Folk Festival founder Theodore Bikel is the household name on the marquee at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, where Hyam Maccoby's The Disputation is playing, but he's not the only topnotch talent buried alive in this mindbogglingly dull thirteenth-century courtroom drama. Veteran actors Richard B. Watson, Steve Wise, and Jacob Witkin are also ill-used.
But wait, you ask, just what is a disputation anyway? During the Dark Ages, when Church-sponsored anti-Semitism flourished in Europe, public trials were held in which Jewish scholars were forced to defend their religion. When they failed to satisfy the Church authorities, entire communities of Jews were, as the program notes put it, "forcibly baptized." (Read: threatened with death if they didn't convert.) King James I of Aragon was said to have described a disputation in Barcelona -- in which one Rabbi Moses ben Nachman successfully persuaded his audience that Judaism was valid -- with the comment: "Never have I heard so unjust a cause so skillfully argued."

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Onyeji, Christian URN etd-10242005-164011 Document Title The study of Abigbo choral-dance music and its application in the composition of Abigbo for modern symphony orchestra Degree DMus Department Music Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M Nzewi Keywords
- Folk music Nigeria
- Igbo African people music
- Orchestral music scores
Date 2002-08-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract This thesis is divided into two main parts. Part one is the presentation of the ethnomusicological research study on Abigbo choral dance music, and indigenous music type found in the Mbaise area of Ibgo land in Nigeria. This part is made up of three chapters. Chapter one present the research out line for this work, which contains the Background of the study, personal motivation for the study, need for the study, methodology and value of the study. Chapter two presents a study of Abigbo music and the musicians. In this chapter, the researcher discussed the socio-cultural and creative milieu of Abigbo musicians, the creative performance process, the theoretical content of Abigbo music, and the artistic criticism as well as social aesthetics normative in Abigbo music appreciation.Chapter three of the work discussed transcription and analyses of traditional Ibgo music. Some problems of transcription and analyses in Ibgo music are argued from the perspectives of other writers and the researcher's experience. The transcription and analysis techniques are then applied to selection Abigbo music repertory.
This part of the thesis is, therefore, an Ethnomusicological study of Abigbo music and musicians in which identifiable musical elements, compositional principles and the stylistic forte of Abigbo choral-dance music are discussed. The research-study enables the researcher to identify seminal compositional materials for the modern symphony orchestra composition deriving from the creative principles of Abigbo music.
Part two of this work is, essentially, an original creative work for the modern symphony orchestra applying the musical elements, compositional principles and style of Abigbo choral-dance music. This part is in three chapters: four, five and six. Chapter four is the composition of "Abigbo for Modern Symphony Orchestra". It is a three movement orchestral work in contrasting tempi, in which the second movement introduces a male chorus with the orchestra.
Chapter five is a detailed analysis of the work and its compositional procedure.
Chapter six presents the conclusions and projections emanating from the study.
Part II then presents a perspective in the creative continuum of African music informed by Abigbo choral-dance music. It is a study of Abigbo choral-dance music of the Mbaise people in Igbo land of Nigeria and the application of its elements, compositional principles and style in the composition of modern art music for a modern symphony orchestra.

A muscle biopsy involves removal of a plug of tissue usually by a needle to be later used for examination. Sometimes more than one needle insertion may be needed to obtain a large enough specimen. If there is a patchy condition expected an open biopsy may be used. Open biopsy involves a small incision through the skin and into the muscle, so that a sample of muscle tissue can be removed from the affected area. There may be some slight bruising or bleeding at the site but the risks are minimal with the procedure.

My favorite flower should be the
LILY OF THE VALLEY (I actually like all lilies but if I had to choose one this one would be it.)- Sweetness, Tears of the Virgin Mary, Return to Happiness, Humility, You've Made My Life Complete
And I really don't think I relate to any of that!
And my other favorite one is
IRIS - Fleur-de-lis, Emblem of France, Your Friendship Means so Much to Me, Faith, Hope, Wisdom and Valor, My Compliments
I really don't relate to that either in my opinion. Oh well! ^^
(It's funny I was looking up through the meaning of flowers yesterday! LOL!)

The pictures of oil-soaked marshes, birds and turtles are starting to emerge from the Gulf of Mexico. But federal wildlife experts say it is what cannot be seen that is often the most worrying. Many animals that die from oil spills are never recovered; they are scavenged or wash up in locations that people do not normally go. Marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins and manatees, are especially hard to track as they drift down in the waters and are eaten by predators.
The risk of long term, chronic exposure is a worry, too. Ralph Morgenweck, US Fish and Wildlife Service senior science advisor and liaison officer at the Unified Area Command:
A lot of these impacts are more subtle than oil on the outside of an animal… We are in a very early phase of understanding the science here.
While the experts say previous spills can be indicative of what is to come, having an oil leak at 5,000 feet under the ocean adds a whole new dimension to those models. Besides, they agree, each oil spill is different, depending on where they are, the currents, tides, weather patterns, and so on.
In this spill, the impact of dispersants on wildlife is also an unknown, given that they are being injected so far down in the ocean. Barbara Schroeder, National Sea Turtle Coordinator for NOAA Fisheries, says she and others are concerned about the effects on the food web, noting that they do not know what the longterm effects of that will be. That led Roger Helm, US Fish and Wildlife Service's chief of environmental quality, to describe it as "a giant experiment".
And the takeaways will be years in coming. But Representative Edward J Markey, the Democrat, sent a letter May 21 to the companies responsible for the oil spill in the Gulf, urging the creation of an independent fund for outside scientists and researchers. This fund would help independent, objective scientists develop solutions to halt the flow of oil, monitor the spill and assess the ecological impacts on the Gulf.
BP responded with a commitment of up to $500m. From the announcement, comments from Tony Hayward, BP's chief executive:
BP has made a commitment to doing everything we can to lessen the impact of this tragic incident on the people and environment of the Gulf Coast. We must make every effort to understand that impact. This will be a key part of the process of restoration, and for improving the industry response capability for the future. There is an urgent need to ensure that the scientific community has access to the samples and the raw data it needs to begin this work.
And so the long-term studies begin.

When your users are mobile, protecting their data requires applications that detect a network presence and copy the data up to the network for backup during a regular nightly backup job. In Backup Exec 2010 and earlier versions (going back to the 10.x days), a Backup Exec option called the Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO) did just that. If you purchased Backup Exec Small Business Server Edition, a limited seat DLO license was provided with the product. All other Backup Exec versions provided the option of installing DLO on a trial basis, or as paid-for option based on the number of clients (seats) you needed to protect.
With Backup Exec 2012, things have changed! DLO is no longer included when you upgrade to Backup Exec 2012. Instead, DLO has now become its own product called Symantec DLO 7. As such, transitioning from the earlier DLO Option to the new Symantec DLO 7 product, along with the migration of your DLO Option data, now takes on significant importance. If you are upgrading from Backup Exec (12.5, 2010 R1, R2 or R3) to Backup Exec 2012, the following process ensures a smooth transition.
- First, upgrade to Symantec DLO 7.
Download and install the Symantec DLO 7 product. During the installation, DLO 7 migrates existing information from the previous Backup Exec DLO option to Symantec DLO 7. While the installation preserves your settings and profiles, the installation also removes the Backup Exec DLO Option silently from Backup Exec after the migration successfully completes.
NOTE: DLO clients must be upgraded after migration as well.
- Next, upgrade to Backup Exec 2012.
Download and upgrade Backup Exec 2012 by following the upgrade steps in the Backup Exec 2012 Quick Installation Guide.
Those of you running the Backup Exec Small Business Edition received a bundled license for the DLO Option that cannot be unselected (without applying a 2010 R3 patch). If you no longer want to use the DLO Option, but want to upgrade to Backup Exec 2012 without the DLO Option's functionality, use the following steps:
- Upgrade your Backup Exec installation to Backup Exec 2010 R3.
NOTE: If you are running Backup Exec 12.5, you can remove the DLO option without applying patches. See step 4.
- Apply all available patches to your Backup Exec media server.
- Start Backup Exec.
- Click Tools > Install Options and Licenses.
- Clear the check box for the Desktop and Laptop Option.
- Finish the installation.
- Upgrade to Backup Exec 2012.
It has been exciting to watch the Desktop and Laptop Option go from proof of concept to a viable data protection option. It's even more gratifying now to see it as its own product release. Our team has worked hard to ensure a smooth transition for you during the upgrade process. We are confident in the results, and hope you agree!

25 Responses to "When Did This Become Hotter Than This?"
This image is fat chick propaganda. Stop trying to change the definition of hot. Nobody likes fat chicks. Get in shape, do some exercise, eat healthy food. Then people will think you are hot too.
"Fat chick propaganda" is that a technical term?
Why are they all white?
[...] Now, I've always struggled with how I view my body. I can't really remember that last time I looked in the mirror and was satisfied with how my body looked. And I know I'm not the only one out there who feels the same way! I'm a woman with natural curves, and despite my best efforts I find it incredibly hard to be proud of those curves when from all angles I am bombarded by the media screaming that my body type is undesirable (although I don't know how anyone can possibly take a gander at the picture of the model on the right and think undesirable.) And what really gets my goat is when a magazine or website thinks they'll show off how accepting they are of other body types by splattering their pages with headlines like, "Curvy Girls are Hot Too!" WOW! You don't say?! Am I the only one who finds it irritating that instead of just incorporating women who have curves or who are bigger than a size four into a regular issue or article they have to have one all to themselves? Let's show everyone how accepting we are of "fat chicks" by giving them a whole page to themselves and highlighting what a different breed they are! Okay, so actually I'm getting a little off topic here. The point of this post really isn't to rant about the ridiculousness of the standard of beauty the media holds. So moving right along…what spurred this particular post is all of the random images people have been posting on Facebook in the last little while, all glorifying what they like to call "REAL" women. I'm sure by now you've all seen some sort of variation of this photo: [...]
agree with josh.
fat chick propaganda indeed.and to hana may: totally irrelevant. plenty of skinny attractive women are attracted to overweight successful men. unfortunately it doesnt work in reverse.
reminder that it's 2012 and we're still discussing the definition of beauty, at the expense of every woman involved. that being said, i would still prefer the company of a moral and just person than an ignorant oppressor, regardless of their shape and weight.
[...] Bild: When did this become hotter than this? [...]
Fat chick propaganda? You're totally right marylin Monroe is sooooooo fat!!!!!!!!! Really get some glasses dude cause I think you need some -.- and also this picture only shows that any woman CAN be pretty on her own way not only anorexique standards is pretty you know
I think this is bullshit. To me, a 20-year-old college student, the women on the bottom are far more attractive than the ones on the top. Maybe I'm just a guy who likes curves and whatnot, but I think any sort of ribs or bones showing is disgusting.
none of the women in the image are fat.the first set are cute little rails and the second have beautiful curves. but thats not the point. fat women use this image to defend their weight. they are comparing themselve to marilyn LOL. fatties who use this image are delusional.
[...] This hurts women not only because we are bombarded and brainwashed with media images every day that constantly tell us that "thin is in," but also because the contemporary woman often associates the word thin with success, and even with a certain level of glamour. The modern woman's role is shifting. Many of us pursue a career, an education, volunteer opportunities, and more. We travel. We drive expensive cars and buy expensive clothing. To us, the thin woman seems more avant-garde, more stylish and chic. We've come a long way, and this image seems like a far step from the matronly Martha or Monroe. [...]
I am a member of the group behind this fat chick propaganda. We are The Illuminati of chubbiness. We are coming for your wives and daughters with cake and size 14 jeans.
I just want to know who would ever call any of those models on the bottom half of this picture fat? Really? I have been a fitness instructor for nearly ten years and I would send someone to a shrink before I would let them look like the ones on the top. Even the really thin girls I have work with me are working hard to develop nice butts and lats so they can have more curves! Give me a break "fat chick" propaganda.
I love that pic! I am 43 and have seen this get worse and worse since the 70′s. Hollywood sexy looks like the physique of a 14 year old boy with bolt on fake tits. Ugh! No real men like that. It is no coincidence that a guy who really likes women at size 0 (or whatever) also often has very feminine tendencies (might be a repressed bi-sexual). Josh, wipe that semen off your chin, you don't like woman anyways.
Women – please work out and EAT! We love your curves!!
This is RIDICULOUS! Only Marilyn is not as this as the above pictures. The rest; Bettie, Shirley and Elisabeth are EXACTLY as thin, it is just that they are portraied by photogrophers with lots of make up. Marilyn Monroe had done PLASTIC SURGERY both in her face and her breasts. Do you really think a pin up girl is a HEALTHY ideal for women?!! The message of this stupid post is that it is "healthy" to have bigger breasts and "healthy" not to have abs. How the fuck is that healthy? Very healthy to give girls complex and to feel the need to get bigger breasts and to always smack on 5 kg's of make up. All theese women have exactly the same BMI except for Marilyn. But who's to say that Marilyn is "healthier" than a fit Keira Knightley??
AA get so annoyed reading the other comments. "Curves". I HAVE A CURVY, HOUR GLASS FIGURE AND THAT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ME HEALTHIER THAN A GIRL WHO IS N A T U R A L L Y SHAPED LIKE TWIGGY!! It is JUST as horrible to say that curves is better than for example Keira Knightley as it would be to say that Keira Knightley is better than Jennifer Lopez. Jesus christ!! Don't you think slender women have hearts too?!! Keira is a fucking BEAUTIFUL woman and the people who puts this image on facebook is obviously very jealous of her! How else can it be that you cannot ACCEPT that women like this are successful?!! Do you have to be confirmed that they are UGLY to feel better?! This is so, so wrong. You can be pear shaped, you can be apple shaped, you can have an hour glass figure like me and it is all bloody natural. It is also SOOOO much healthier to be a slender girl who is STRONG, have muscles, have abs and a strong body, to be able to carry things and run and so on and then end up looking like Keira Knightley – than to stop working out and eat at Mc Donalds every day.
I love you Audrey Hepburn was conveniently left out of the bottom row, as if there weren't any skinny women back then. And that Beyonce was left out of the top row, as if there aren't any curvy women now. Let's face the facts that women come in all shapes and sizes and they always have and you saying that one is better than another makes you as much a part of the problem as anybody else.
I happen to be one of those very slender women and I can eat cheeseburgers and brownies all day. My best friend is very curvy and we both love and respect that about each other. We accept ourselves and each other for what we are and know what our strengths and weaknesses are with our body types. There is no right or wrong body types, only different ones. And your hatred of what is different is wrong.
What is right, however, is accepting your and other's body types for what they are. Healthy is sexy. Not skinny, not curvy, not any specific type. Just healthy. If you're healthy at 105 lbs or at 170 lbs, then you're healthy. Anybody who tries to put someone down for what they look like because you want them to conform to your standard of beauty can go suck a bag of dicks.
I would also like to point out that Marilyn wasn't as big as you would like to believe. She was at most, 120 lbs. Oh goodness, she was a skinny lady. Who just happened to have big boobs and a butt. Most of the women on the top row are also that weight, but proportioned differently.
[...] help but focus our attention (and ire) on the fact that female standards of beauty have taken a century-long turn for the skinnier, skinnier and skin-and-bones-ier. No horse hips to be found on strippers these days! [...]

Midsize Sedans 2.0
ral2167 Posts: 642test drove accord today-- ex-l-- nice enough car but disappointed in the radio-- only 12 presets for XM? you got to be kidding me. plus their fancy "blind spot" passenger side camera is a lot of flash bu that's about it-- and the convex mirror on driver side is cheap as a blind spot monitor-- - they should just have a light shine on or near each mirror like most blind spot technologies have (camry, mazda 6, altima). i do like the driver side seat memory on the ex-l-- i suspect upper trim camry's will get this in a year or so. and it drives nice. but overall, those 12 presets on the XM has me shaking my head.
cski West Springfield, VAPosts: 1,344LOL. My KIA was killed in action today! :sick: Tire blew out on really ragged pavement. I didn't even try to use the "tire mobility kit" which is essentially (well ACTUALLY) is a fancy can of fix-a-flat and a compressor. Optima LX and EX do not have spares (in an all out effort to increase MPG).
Progressive roadside assistance was awesome guys. Flatbed driver dropped me off at my door after waiting for me to fill out paperwork at the shop. I called his boss and put in a good word for him.
NTB/Merchants does not have my OEM tires in stock, so I had to order them.
PS: The tow truck driver said he tows more hybrids than any other type of modern sedan.Chris Skalski: Network Engineer 2012 Kia Optima EX
suydam Posts: 1,045You know what matters to you. Did you drive on a freeway though? That's where you really appreciate the right turn camera. I am liking it more and more the longer I drive mine. Radio presets aren't a big deal to me, but I loved the power driver AND passenger seats. We sure have a lot of choices now.

ral2167 Posts: 642Don't know how accord can only have 12 presents for XM radio-- very disappointing. Camry has the best radio in that you can have 36 presents and have as many AM/FM/XM as you want-- you can have an AM station on one preset, and an XM on the next one-- you don't need to switch to an XM band or an AM band. Wish all radios were like that,
ivan_99 Posts: 1,678If you do happen to save 36 stations...
Then all you need to do is set your auto-scan on...and search through all your stations every 10 seconds. In 6 minutes you're done and can start from the top again since you've forgotten anything worth listening to; and more than likely what you did find interesting has already ended.
This way you can have a perpetual scan where you do not need to commit to any channel... -
mani_o Posts: 6I'm planning on buying a Camry se this fall. And I've done my research for the last three months. It does seem that Toyota has a better reliability history than Honda, Mazda, Hyundai, and Kia. You don't know how much I wish Toyota would step up the Camry design, they must have their head up their *blank* but After test driving the 2013 Optima the headrests in the seats Would not even allow me to sit up straight. The 2013 Accord, Known for having transmission issues, is already having problems with their CVT. Most reviews say the 2013 sonata does not have too many issues but the 100 little things that never really brake but wish they would just so the dealer would fix them. The 2013 Altima has a sucky CVT and is a first-year car with issues that need to be worked out. The 2013 Mazda 6 No one is buying even though it is the sexiest car. With so many First year models for 2013 you only have a few options for a midsize car if you're seeking top reliability. The 2013 Camry has a comfortable nice interior, great sound system, good handling, top reliability, The camry se can be had for about 22 grand. If you're trying to keep your car for the next 10 years its a very safe bet. If your leasing your car feel free to get in any car you want because All of these cars last at least three years. When the pros review cars they're reviewing how they are performing that very moment, not five years down the line when your car is falling apart.

crkyolfrt Posts: 2,345This question will reveal how little I know about satellite radio. Two questions actually, although the second one is tough cuz it's one of those ones where it is open to interpretation of just how good is good..
When you use XM or whatever, and you want to listen to..let's say Johnny Winter: Serious Business. Or dial up Wayne Hancock: Tulsa..do you have a menu where you choose alphabetically, or punch it in letter by letter, or are you restricted to, like a radio stn that features songs that they decide falls into that type of music category? If it is the latter (which I think it is and is why I have never gotten excited about radio you pay to listen to without getting a choice in what you listen to) then the odds of you finding a stn that actually plays Johnny Winter, or even knows who Wayne Hancock is, will be very poor indeed. Out of curiosity have any of you who have sat radio, EVER heard either one of those artists on the radio? Johnny Winter is blues rock like Jimi Hendrix and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Wayne Hancock is a lot like Hank Williams Sr with a mix of Hank III (Shelton Williams, Hank Sr's grandson) thrown in.
Second question is about sound quality distortion at loud sound levels. I once listened to a friends GPS that he dubbed into the sound system in my 03 Matrix. I forget how it was done, but was a portable setup. So the GPS had what I guess was an MP3 memory, and believe me, there was SERIOUS sound quality loss once it made it to the cars speakers. Is sat radio like that, or is it EXACTLY as clear and capable of the same song as if you had inserted a CD? Question open to cski especially, cuz I think he loves his music, although not sure how loud he plays it, and everyone of course..
BTW, same question if you plug an iPod or some other USB device in. Are some combinations more distortion free than others, or are they all universally so good there is no perceptible difference than if you had put a CD in..and again, I'm talking at loud volumes which should reveal any weakness the best.. Even if clear, is the db (sound volume) drop if on sat radio or iPod, requiring you to raise the volume control more than if you had a CD in? -
benjaminh Posts: 1,793Camry failed the small offset crash test, which is a common type of crash. It was the only midize car to fail, aside from the Prius and a Lexus. Pattern? Check out the IIHS video posted in youtube or a few pages above.
Also, Camry is in my opinion the worst looking car in the entire midsize segment.
Handling is also about at the bottom according to most car magazines.
Bang for the buck? Yes. To somewhat misquote Princess Leia: "If bang for the buck is what you care about, that's what you shall receive."
There's really no bad choice to be made at this point when it comes to midsize, but Camry would be about last on my personal list.
Everyone gets to make their own choice and have their own favorites. It's a free country!+++ -
akirby Posts: 7,757XM/Sirius has specific channels that you can tune to and that broadcast all the time just like FM. Hits1, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, Margaritaville, etc.
Digital music (satellite, mp3) is by definition compressed. MP3s have different bitrate settings (128K vs. 192K vs. 256k etc.). The higher the bitrate the better the sound (and more storage required). Some people can't tell much difference and some people claim it's night and day.
With satellite there is another compression layer. There is limited bandwidth on the satellites so they compress the signal even further to fit more channels in. You also have the quality of the original recording which affects final sound especially on 60s and 70s music.
How it sounds depends on your stereo, the original recording quality and the source and bitrate.
Audio CDs are the least compressed usually, followed by analog FM, digital FM (HD Radio) and XM/Sirius. MP3s could be anywhere in between depending on bitrate. The quality of the device is also a factor - ipod vs. cheap mp3 players or gps. -

I don't think you're quite right about a few things. The test isn't that new, a lot of cars at this point have been tested, and most have passed. Only the Camry and Prius V were rated "Poor." If safety is a lower priority to you, then ignore the test. But if safety is a significant issue for you, you should probably chose one of the dozen or so midsize cars that passed this test.
http://autos.jdpower.com/content/blog-post/NOdSoru/new-2013-midsize-family-car-c- - - - rash-test-ratings-issued-by-iihs.htm
"....Among the midsize sedans, two models earned the highest rating of "Good" in the new small overlap test: the redesigned 2013 Honda Accord Sedan and the discontinued 2013 Suzuki Kizashi.
Of the remaining 16 midsize sedans evaluated, 11 models received an "Acceptable" rating. They include the following models, which are rated as "Top Safety Pick+" models for 2013:
2013 Chrysler 200
2013 Dodge Avenger
2013 Ford Fusion
2013 Honda Accord Coupe
2013 Kia Optima
2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
2013 Subaru Legacy
2013 Subaru Outback
2013 Volkswagen Passat
The 2013 Mazda 6 and the 2013 Nissan Maxima also received an "Acceptable" rating in the new small overlap frontal impact test, but because their rear-impact protection ratings are "Marginal," they do not qualify for a "Top Safety Pick" rating in 2013.
Three models received a "Marginal" rating in the new small overlap frontal impact test. They include the redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, 2013 Hyundai Sonata, and the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan. All three models retain their "Top Safety Pick" status for 2013, but do not qualify for the new "Top Safety Pick+" rating.
The two models receiving a "Poor" rating include the Toyota Camry and Toyota Prius v. "Toyota engineers have a lot of work to do to match the performance of their competitors," Lund says.
In the test for the Camry, the impact pushed the front left wheel into the driver's foot well, moving the parking brake mechanism into the driver's leg space. The windshield pillar bent, moving the instrument panel and steering column. As a result, the crash-test dummy's head glanced off of the driver air bag and, because the side curtain air bag does not extend far enough forward to offer protection, struck the dashboard....." -
crkyolfrt Posts: 2,345If MP3 is compressed at 256k, what would you guess a CD to be at? Let's say a newer type CD created in the last 10 years...or rather of only 10 year old music?
You are saying that an iPod is much cleaner than the best MP3? or?
This is all very good info. I appreciated your post a lot. Answered many questions/wonderments I have always had ever since the first MP3 type file came along. My nephew has created many digital files for DJ work. I have heard some at an outdoor party once, but not in an environment like your car or home where you can make a memory comparo. I have a feeling he must use a high bitrate...oh..I recall he was using an iPod docked to something else, a big mixer of some sort I think. -
andres3 CAPosts: 5,387When some keep goodmouthing an undeserving company, some buyers just keep on buying because Maude at cards said she loves her Camry and has had almost now trouble with it, e.g..
If it was really that easy, all the bad undeserving companies out there would spend all their marketing dollars good-mouthing their vehicles.
Maybe they do, but it doesn't seem to work as many companies have been bailed out recently, and some multiple times (Chrysler). -
andres3 CAPosts: 5,387Lossless audio bitrates typically run in the 500k to 1MB/second realm.
IPOD's have Apple Lossless audio format, but I don't think I-tunes sells it. You can take your CD's and make apple lossless files though. Keeps about 99% of the quality, whereas in 256k I'd say your getting 80 to 90%.

Troubled Images World Tour Exhibit
The New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources is honored to present the Troubled Images: Posters and Images of the Northern Ireland Conflict exhibit from the Linen Hall Library in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The Linen Hall Library is the unique repository for the Northern Ireland Political Collection, which contains over a quarter of a million items - books, documents, cards, pamphlets, photographs and other printed materials - related to the activities of all parties to the thirty-year conflict and the ongoing peace process. New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources' Commissioner Van McLeod says, "bringing the Troubled Images exhibition to New Hampshire is an important part of our on-going cultural exchange with Northern Ireland and Ireland, and a way to share this extraordinary exhibit with the people of New Hampshire. The seventy posters on view are part of the collection of over 3,000 acquired by the Linen Hall Library from 1969 to the present. They represent a wide range of opinions on major events and individuals involved in the arduous years of struggle and the burgeoning peace process, in which Senator George Mitchell played a significant role as chairman of the peace talks that brought about the Good Friday Agreement. Linen Hall Librarian, John Gray, sums up the appeal of the exhibition by saying, "The 70 original posters on display reveal the often dramatic graphic skills of Ulster's political poster designers from whatever perspective - the makers of images that became part of history. The posters not only reflect all sides in our conflict, but they cover our experience since the beginning of "the Troubles". Movements that have faded from view are there along with all the main players today. The great tragedies of our time feature alongside moments of hope. They are all there in impossible but revealing conjunction." Imagine a wall plastered with the posters of all the parties to the Northern Ireland conflict during the three decades of "the Troubles". It is of course inconceivable in a divided world of one-sided walls where parties tend to mark their own terrain. Except, that is, in Belfast's historic Linen Hall Library, where the Troubled Images exhibition created new space for all sides of the community in October 2001. The Troubled Images has embarked on a major coast-to-coast tour of North America. The exhibition will take in nine cities across the United States and Canada, over a period of 18 months. The tour began in Boston and then to Washington D.C., before coming to New Hampshire. It will then travel to New York, Denver, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Montreal/Quebec. Venues include Boston College, the Meridian International Centre in Washington D.C., and the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University, California. Yvonne Murphy, Librarian of the Northern Ireland Political Collection and Troubled Images Tour Director, says of the interest in Troubled Images, "When we launched the Troubled Images exhibition in Belfast just over a year ago, we had little idea of the impact that it would make. We are thrilled at the interest that it has generated from right round the world. The exhibition has already been to the National Library of Ireland in Dublin and to a major arts and cultural festival in the Basque region of Spain. After its North American tour, the exhibition will go to South Africa, Paris and London." The Troubled Images Project, which includes the exhibition, catalogue and CD-Rom, won for the Linen Hall Library the prestigious Christopher Ewart-Biggs Literary Prize for 2003. The prize is awarded once a year to individuals and/or organizations that promote peace and reconciliation in Ireland, a greater understanding between the peoples of Britain and Ireland, or closer co-operation between partners of the European Community. Troubled Images will be on exhibit from July 18 to August 22, 2003, Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the New Hampshire State Library, 20 Park Street in Concord. For more information, please call the New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources at (603) 271-2540. |

Muslims believe that there were many prophets throughout history, including Moses and Jesus, and that many of these prophets also foretold the coming of God's last messenger, the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims also believe that each Prophet adapted his message to a different group of people and time period, but that every prophet preached Islam. While non-Muslims consider that Islam started with the Prophet Muhammad, Muslims believe that the prophet Muhammad was the last of a long line of messengers from God, all of whom taught the same faith that Adam (the first human being) professed and passed on to his offspring.
Many Muslims believe that every nation in the world received prophets from God. The Prophet Muhammad received the revelation of the Qur'an, a message that is universal. Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the final, universal revelation of God. Muslims believe that divinely-inspired scriptures such as the Torah, revealed to Moses; the Gospel, revealed to Jesus; and the Psalms, revealed to the prophet David, were meant for the people of a particular place and historical period. Muslims believe that the revelation contained in these holy books belongs to Islam; but that they were corrupted by the people they were revealed to. However, there were other prophets that were sent to correct any corrupted beliefs and to reveal God's word. Muslims believe that the Qur'an, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, is an incorruptible holy book that will remain until Judgment Day and the end of times.
Most of the Prophets of Islam are also mentioned in the Bible. However, there are some that are unique to Islam. The Qur'an mentions that some of these prophets were endowed with wisdom, with a gift from God. While many of the same miracles associated with some prophets are mentioned in the Qur'an, it is important to point out that Muslims believe that these miracles were God's actions. Islam also has a different viewpoint of many of the prophets it shares with Judaism and Christianity. One example is the Muslim view of Jesus, considered the last prophet before the prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe that Jesus did not die at the cross, but that he was saved by God. Muslims await the second coming of Jesus, much like Christians do. However, Muslims do not assign any kind of divinity to Jesus. The very idea of God having a son is blasphemous to Muslims and contrary to Islam.

Sunday Forecast Depends on the Clouds
November 10th, 2012 at 8:19 am by petemangione under Tony's Pinpoint Weather BlogThe graphic below is a NWS digital forecast for SUNDAY. I agree with this for the most part. However, if the morning clouds move out quickly, we could get even warmer than those numbers. If the clouds hang around longer, we would be a little cooler than those numbers. No matter what the clouds do, the coast will probably stay in the upper 50s or low 60s because of on some on-shore breezes. Stay tuned! -Pete Mangione

Let's Talk About Parabens
Parabens are chemicals that are used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries to prevent bacteria from fungus growing in your product. Parabens are esters of para-hydroxy benzoic acid. The most common parabens are: Methyl Paraben, Ethyl Paraben, Propel Paraben and Butyl Paraben.Parabens are found in plant sources, for example blueberries contain Methyl Paraben. Most people are not allergic to parabens, but they could cause skin irritations in individuals with paraben allergies. The controversy surrounding paraben started in the UK when molecular biologist, Phillppe Darbre, found traces of parabens in the samples of 20 breast tumors. No studies have been conducted on the lifestyle of these individuals. In animal experiments, parabens have shown very weak estrogenic activity. For example, Butyl Paraben was determined to be approximately 100 times weaker then that of Estradiol, and was only observed at a dose level approximately 25 times higher then the level typically used to preserve products. In Europe, which has much more stringent laws then in the US, safety assessment of parabens concluded that cosmetics containing parabens do not pose any health risks.
Above is a brief overview of parabens. There have been numerous studies done on parabens, and they are still not linked to health issues. My personal opinion is that the doses are extremely low, and in most products, the concentration is 0.4%, which is just enough to kill the bacteria and fungus. Now, on a personal note, I'm very tired and bored of listening uneducated guesses and speculations. I've been eating and feeding my family organic foods for most of our lives. I have spent thousands of dollars on a lifestyle that tries to minimize chemical intake. Why would you want to pollute your body if you don't have to? Of course you don't want to. However, I always let reason prevail. For example, one of the worst things that you can possibly do to your body is eat sugar (yes, even organic sugar), it is poison to your system and a nutritional feast to cancer cells. Not to mention alcohol, and no, your red glass of wine is not anti-aging. You should consume Resveratrol (anti-aging ingredient in red wine) in an extracted form if you really want some considerable impact. So, am I telling you to not have a glass of red wine once in a while? No. But, then again, I'm not your doctor. What I am trying to say is that your daily lifestyle is much more polluting to your system then 0.4% of parabens in your anti-aging regimen. In my long career as an Esthetician and Founder of Kinara Skin Care, I have met clients who live an extremely clean lifestyle; they do not consume sugar, wheat, alcohol, caffeine, they do not color their hair and most use organic clothing on their body when they can. I have full respect, understanding and adoration at times. For them, the best choice of skincare is pure coconut oil (the one that you can eat), olive oil, and aloe vera plant gel directly applied to your skin. Of course, there are some other things you could do: you can mix yogurt with honey as a mask, use the water from cooked oatmeal as a face tonic, etc. However, that's where it ends; here at Kinara we have the occasional clients from whom that kind of regimen can work, but 99% of the time individuals who use "natural, paraben free skincare", have the worst possible skin imaginable. They are always broken out and the skin is irritated. Not surprising, considering the amount of rancid ingredients that is applied daily unbeknownst to them. On average, it can take up to 6 months to correct their skin and only if they agree to stop their natural regimen.
There is no such thing as natural anti-aging products. One thing that you should never do is spend money on organic skincare. They're loaded with bacteria and mold. I would hate for you to see what mold and bacteria can do to your skin, and occasionally an eye. The only organic skincare preparation should be something you make and is stored in your refrigerator for no more than two days. And what about Kinara products? In order to have high-quality, superior anti-aging products, you can't have mold and bacteria as the main characters. And that is exactly what happens when you do not preserve properly. Most of Kinara's products are preserved with parabens in order to stay just that. High quality. Effective. Safe. When possible, we always look at alternatives and implement them. I am sure that you have heard that you can "safely" preserve products with grapefruit seed extract, etc. That is simply untrue. There are some promising findings coming from Japan that honeysuckle extract may possibly be a good alternative to paraben. If that were confirmed, Kinara would be the first company to switch. But, until then, I am not particularly worried (yes, maybe about the big chocolate cake I ate last week).
So…to recap, if you're anything like me whose focus is to eat as clean as possible, exercise regularly, avoid hydrogenated oils and sugars, eats lot's of greens and drinks lot's of clean and pure water, go ahead and enjoy your anti-aging cosmetics.
One Response
Thank you for a VERY informative article. I try ( TRY ) to eat organic and healthy. Like most people, I am a bit lazy when it comes to the gym, but I try and do 4 times per week ( and I donm't mean to insinuate that most people are lazy ) but I was very pleased with the explanation of parabens. I feel a LOT better about them ( parabens ) and seeing the results ( Halle Berry to name one face ) I think I might have to give Kinara a try.

"Made this last night. Had some extra roasted chicken left over and wanted something quick and tasty to use it up. It was great.

"Made this for dinner party Saturday. Big hit! Used half jar of Rao's Tomato Basil sauce instead of the can of tomato sauce. It was not overly wet as one reviewer encountered, perhaps this is why.

"I made this for dinner party Saturday and it was very easy and very good. I took reviewer Vontrottzu's suggestion and added 8 oz of melted chocolate to it and got a milk chocolate creme brulee.

Freshman Taylor Davis posted a 4-under 68 and helped the Lee men's golf team record a 2-over par total of 288, edging ahead of the University of the Cumberlands (290) and Coastal Georgia (294) heading into the final 18 holes on Tuesday in the Lee Spring Invitational being hosted by the Cleveland Country Club.
"We are in for a dogfight with some great teams tomorrow, and I know our guys are looking forward to it," said coach John Maupin.
While Davis is battling at least eight other golfers for medalist honors in the field of 14 teams and 78 overall players, Hunter Vest and JB Eksteen carded 1-over 73s and Peyton Sigler finished at 2-over 74. Matt Emery tallied a 75. Maupin used four other players in the individual competition. Florian Loutre finished with a 74, Tyler Smith 77, Scott Murray 81 and Zack Lawson 83.
Lindsey-Wilson (300), Tennessee Wesleyan (301) and Trevecca Nazarene (308) rounded out the top six in the team standings.
Davis is one stroke ahead of Cumberlands' Matt Walton (69). Coastal's Dylan Freeman and Trevecca's Logan Martin are tied for third (70). Cumberlands' Niclas Rigbrandt (71) holds down fifth place. All totaled eight golfers shot par or better and all are in the hunt for medalist honors.
"I was really pleased with our round today," said Maupin after the long first day ended. "I thought the guys came out very focused and prepared today, which was great to see."
He added, "The consistency of our scores was great. I love having five guys in play all day. Taylor (Davis) stepped up again, and gave us a great round. He struck the ball very well today, and I was proud to see him come through like that."
Lady Flames in the
lead at Shorter
ROME, Ga. — With Courtney Shelton (73) and Madison Alexander (74) leading the way, the Lee women's golf team held a 5-shot lead over Shorter College heading into today's final 18 holes at Coosa Country Club.
The Lady Flames are the tournament's defending champion and fired an opening round 305 on Monday in the Rome News-Tribune Invitational. Shorter and the University of the Cumberlands posted rounds of 310. Cumberland (Tenn.) University is in fourth place (317) and Lindsey-Wilson (323) rounds out the top five in the 12-team field.
While Shelton and Alexander were tops for the Lady Flames, Sloane Skinner followed at 78. Bernadette Little (80) rounded out the Lee scores that counted. Kristin Bourg followed at 82 and Chelsea Rakestraw, playing in the individual competition, came in with an 84.
Shelton is followed closely in the hunt for the medalist title by Alexander and Lindsey-Wilson's Kelsey Joslyn; both totaled 73s. Cumberland's Allyson is fourth at 75 and the University of the Cumberlands' Laura Beth Harris and the Cumberland's Katie Legge are tied for the fifth spot at 76.
"The team did a good job today," said Lee assistant coach Chad Wilson. "Each player had a stretch of holes where they played some solid golf.
"However, we did leave a lot of shots out there on the greens and didn't execute a few short birdie opportunities," he pointed out. "We have a 5-shot lead and will be focused on playing each hole one at a time, and leave the worrying to the other teams. Rain is in the forecast, but that should only help us due to rough weather we have been playing and practicing in all semester."

Rolando McClain was acquired to play the same position that Ray Lewis once played in Baltimore, but since he's a bust and is completely corrupted mentally, he's not a replacement. At best, he's a temporary bridge to someone better. At best.
And now we know the name of that someone after the Ravens traded up in the second round with the Seahawks, jumping up six spots while sending their fifth- and sixth-round picks to Seattle. He's now the future for the defending champs at a position which has been the soul of their defense for over a decade. No pressure, kid.
This is great value for Brown, even at the cost of extra picks to move up a few spots. Brown was widely given a first-round grade, and often mocked to the Ravens at 32nd overall. In those mocks he was even sometimes ahead of one Manti Te'o due to his better lateral speed.
As we were exposed to his tape, Brown made his arbitrary April rise, and now he joins Matt Elam in Baltimore during an infusion of youth at core defensive positions formerly paroled by beloved veterans.

We have long argued that the American model for development assistance could improve dramatically if entrepreneurship becomes a stronger element of economic development efforts. Unfortunately, the importance of new firm creation is a concept that has yet to gain relevance in traditional development models, such as the Washington Consensus. However, there are a few actors who understand the power of entrepreneurship and have been using it to improve lives. Diaspora entrepreneurs are using their experience and understanding about entrepreneurship to invest in new ventures in their country of origin. These transnational entrepreneurs view a globe of porous borders.
Developing the human capital of young Americans is vital to keep America's entrepreneurial economy growing. Our future entrepreneurs and their workers need the twenty-first century skills and knowledge to create successful ventures and to spur innovation in the economy. Yet education in the U.S. is struggling to stay competitive and fails to provide access to a quality educational experience for all students. Developing tomorrow's talented, capable innovators is a challenge that will require major, entrepreneurially-driven improvements in education from pre-school through graduate school.
In the past few months, we have highlighted through articles and factsheets how public policy can make the path easier for entrepreneurship and innovation. With the Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship, we hope to emphasize not only how policies can foster entrepreneurs, but also how entrepreneurship can directly be part of the answer to so many public challenges.
Times are tough. Layoffs are growing every day and despite massive government intervention, there is little talk of anything more than a slow prolonged recovery. There are a few reasons though to remain optimistic. The main one: as long as we have entrepreneurial people, jobs will be created, and when times get tough we learn to do more with less. There are many entrepreneurs out there who see new and better opportunities for innovation now we are in the midst of crisis.
Welcome to Global Entrepreneurship Week. Throughout this week, I will be reporting in from entrepreneurship policy events around the world. Global Entrepreneurship Week is engaging more than four million participants in 887 countries exploring new venture creation as a career path through mentoring activities, business plan competitions, networking events and other fun activities. It offers an extraordinary demonstration to policymakers that there is a new wave of entrepreneurialism before us and if we want to build economies and make jobs, they must quickly create the most favorable environment possible.
A growing economy constantly creates new job opportunities in new sectors, but also displaces and even destroys existing jobs. The workforce in an entrepreneurial economy must always evolve as well. Government efforts to protect jobs are often misguided, hindering growth and new job creation. Pro-growth workforce rules should instead focus on developing worker skills, allowing maximum hiring and layoff flexibility, and focus adjustment efforts on getting displaced workers into new jobs as soon as possible. Small firms employ half of all private sector employees and create 60-80 percent of net new jobs in the U.S., according to the SBA. Labor rules are one of the largest barriers to entrepreneurial ventures. The World Bank's cross-country comparison of labor regulations shows lower job creation where workplace rules are more rigid. Labor rules must move beyond the early 20th century framework of management versus labor and encourage new firm formation as well as a dynamic, not static, worker.
Last week, I argued in favor more high-skilled immigration to bring additional entrepreneurial talent into the country for the near future. Today, I want to focus on an urgent policy issue that needs to be addressed to produce results over the long-run. Improvements in education are essential to equipping American citizens with entrepreneurial skills. Creative thinking and prudent risk-taking are no different than any other skills people are born with; they are likely to be useless unless the skill is developed through education and experience.
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to join an extraordinary group of women entrepreneurs mostly from Saudi Arabia for a lunch at the home of the Honorable Esther Coopersmith. All were both proud of their higher education in Saudi Arabia and had started companies in a wide range of businesses from construction to IT. I should not have been surprised. Starting a business in Saudi Arabia is relatively easy. Its "ease of starting a business" rank is 13 out of 183 economies, according the World Bank's Doing Business 2010 data. This is not surprising. Saudi Arabia is widely recognized as a leader in promoting and enabling entrepreneurship and innovation.
Turkey offers quite a sophisticated platform for entrepreneurs. It has a diversified industrial base, a relatively stable political and economic environment, a critical mass of willing early adopters, a considerable talent pool, a strong domestic market and underserved neighboring markets. Yet, currently only 6 out of 100 people are entrepreneurs – a very low rate given the country's level of development. What challenges does Turkey need to address in order to unleash entrepreneurship as a force for economic growth?
It is an important week for entrepreneurship in the Middle East. Here in Dubai, two important global summits will be convened by His Excellency, Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, United Arab Emirates Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Carl Schramm, President of the Kauffman Foundation: The HCT Global Entrepreneurship 2010 Conference (E2010) and the Kauffman Foundation's Global Entrepreneurship Congress which I will emcee.

Predictions: What Will The Next 30 Years Hold For Growers And Greenhouses?
The past 30 years have been full of advancements. We can only imagine what the future has in store for us — but it's fun to try. Industry members from varying disciplines took a crack at predicting what we'll see over the next 30 years.

Plant Breeder Jason Jandrew: Multifunctional Plants Are The Future
This young breeder for Ball Horticultural Co. says breeders can take a cue from cell phones: keep adding features.
The Future Of Pest Control Is Traditional Chemistry, Biocontrols, Structures And More
Tom Costamagna is a progressive proponent of new crop protection techniques at the grower level, and he has the experience to back it up. We asked for his take on the future of greenhouse crop protection.
Future Greenhouse Automation Will Assist The Grower's Expertise
This glimpse into the future is based on today's rapidly evolving automation technologies.
A Day In The Life Of A Grower: 2020
At the current rate of technological advancement and the drive to automate business processes to improve efficiencies, there are sure to be many changes for greenhouse growers in the next few years.
The Future Of Greenhouse Structures
We're not predicting the end of the Quonset or big gutter-connect ranges. We do, however, believe you will see a dramatic change in the ways some traditional structures work, where greenhouses are built, or even what is considered a "greenhouse" in the future.
Today's Breeders On Tomorrow's Plants
One of the future challenges is the continuing need for new and improved crops for the consumer. Make no mistake about it, new crops — and new breeders — are the lifeblood of this industry.

I had bad luck ordering crocosmia bulbs last year. I bought multiple bulbs from a "well known" supplier... but several were dried up and/or moldy. A few grew, but most were not viable. I've spent quite a bit of time in Garden Watchdog looking at the vendors. Can anyone give me some idea on who to buy from? Thanks so much... |

text: I am so happy. I am very much a pear shape, hard to find fitted pants that fit right cause my hips are so much bigger than my waist. Always before this I had to get an elastic waist loose knit pair of pants. Well today I went to Pennington's (a Canadian store similar to Catherine's), and tried on a few pants, since my jeans are getting too big, and my smaller pair are still too small, I decided to try on a pair of fitted dress pants, since I need something nice to wear to meet the boyfriend's family on Christmas Day (sooooo nervous), and not only did they fit wonderfully they are a size 28, my jeans are 30s. I did have to get a pair of shapewear panties since my stomach is getting so saggy, but I feel like a new woman. Now to get them shortened.

By Jonah Shepp
Chris Goodfellow doesn't think MH370 was hijacked:
For me, the loss of transponders and communications makes perfect sense in a fire. And there most likely was an electrical fire. In the case of a fire, the first response is to pull the main busses and restore circuits one by one until you have isolated the bad one. If they pulled the busses, the plane would go silent. It probably was a serious event and the flight crew was occupied with controlling the plane and trying to fight the fire. Aviate, navigate, and lastly, communicate is the mantra in such situations. …
What I think happened is the flight crew was overcome by smoke and the plane continued on the heading, probably on George (autopilot), until it ran out of fuel or the fire destroyed the control surfaces and it crashed. You will find it along that route–looking elsewhere is pointless.
Jeff Wise shoots down that theory:
Goodfellow's account is emotionally compelling, and it is based on some of the most important facts that have been established so far. And it is simple—to a fault. Take other major findings of the investigation into account, and Goodfellow's theory falls apart.
