Besides the one fumble by Ben where Adams missed his guy, I thought Mike Adams played very well for his first start at RT. My question is if he continues to play that well, does he take the RT job away from Gilbert?
Besides the one fumble by Ben where Adams missed his guy, I thought Mike Adams played very well for his first start at RT. My question is if he continues to play that well, does he take the RT job away from Gilbert?

5.152) David Johnson, RB, North Iowa
6.183) Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon St.
7.214) Lynden Trail, OLB, Norfolk St.
"Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it." -- Chuck Noll
I think the job will still be Gilbert's when he returns. Adams seemed to be mobile and active in run blocking and was ok in pass protection, but he still has work to do. I think a healthy Gilbert is probably the better option, right now.
I like Foster at RT better than either of those guys right now. I understand we have to play to get better in the future. But when DD comes back, I think our best OLine for the remainder of this season would be Max, Pouncey, Bronko, DD, Foster.
Pap - Are you recommending that Gilbert be the LT so he can knock Colon out for the season? lol.
At least in that scenario, we'll have a healthy DeCastro. He won't have to worry about Gilbert to his right and the likely possibility that he'll fall on the back of his leg.
While I was pleased with Adams performance overall, I know his history...all pro one game...revolving door the next. Before talking about a starter job, I want to see Adams fill in and play with consistency.
I would agree...Adams has never had a problem with run blocking...though he did miss an assignment early which resulted for a loss on Batch. Adams plays best when there is a fire under his feet. He hasn't been a guy who could self motivate in the past. Making him work for a starter position as long as you can works out in the teams and his best interest.
I wouldn't say I was overly impressed with Adam's play last night but it wasn't the blood bath that I thought it might be. He still has a long ways to go in my book. I just hope he get there.

Man who killed his parents seeks new sentence: Robert Dingman invokes new Supreme Court ruling
Friday, February 15, 2013
CONCORD — A Rochester man who murdered his parents 17 years ago is asking a judge to reconsider whether he should spend the rest of his life behind bars.
The law has been applied to render life sentences for Dingman and at least four others who committed murder while they were juveniles.
Through his attorney, Dingman filed a petition seeking a writ of habeas corpus in Merrimack County Superior Court on Jan. 29.
The attorney general's office has agreed to grant Spader a new sentencing hearing, which is scheduled to take place later this year.
The trial of Robert Dingman and his brother, Jeffrey, riveted local residents and garnered national media attention. Jeffrey Dingman testified against his brother, telling a Strafford County Superior Court jury both siblings shot their parents, Vance and Eve Dingman, with a .22-caliber handgun.

Flashback: John Tortorella Should Coach The Rangers (April 5, 2000)
Following the dismissal of John Muckler as head coach and Neil Smith as GM at the end of the 1999-2000, the Rangers gave assistant coach John Tortorella the job of interim head coach to finish out the final four games of the season.
The New York Daily News wrote on April 5, 2000 that Tortorella was the right man to lead the Rangers.
Brian Leetch said at the time "I think he can be a head coach. He's got a great understanding of the game and he's a very emotional person. He's going to get a chance sometime. I don't know what they're going to decide here. But certainly, if he was the one they decided was best, I'd certainly endorse John being around."
Petr Nedved said that he couldn't guarantee wins with Tortorella as the coach "But I think they would give him a hard 60 minutes every night and that's what we need." He added "next year, I think he would be a really good coach here" and "personally, I have fun playing for him. I think that he's a fair guy and I think that the guys would love to play for him.
Glen Sather was hired to be GM and Ron Low as head coach.
Tortorella left the organization to become associate coach with Tampa Bay before taking over as head coach.
Geno was not the weakest link on the offense last year in fact Geno made plays.
Geno just has to show he's a good decision maker and get rid of the ball quickly with few TO's, he will have better talent this year to show what he's got, could have used another starting receiver, but IF Hill can catch 60-70 balls and the running game gets 4 yrds a pop and O line holds their he won't have any excuses
I am confident that the QB position will be better than last year regardless of who starts.
So Boyd has no confidence in himself and probably wont make it through camp. If Im Boyd and they ask me I say "Im gonna be the starting QB! Put that in your fancy news paper mister reporter guy."
I can't remember who it was, but somebody summed it up perfectly: If the starting QB (Geno) plays well, there isn't a QB controversy. If the starting QB does not play well, then you have a controversy.
Its Geno's job to lose. I hope he seizes this opportunity and succeeds, or else we could end up starting from scratch in 2015.
Well stated.
Roy Munson: Is this legal?
Ernie McCracken: I don't know. It's fun, though, isn't it?
The presence of contingency and conditional truth often allows for two or three seemingly contradictory statements to all be simultaneously true, because they rely on dependent premises to arrive at dependent conclusions.
Hedley Lamarr: My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.
Taggart: Ditto.
Hedley Lamarr: "Ditto?" "Ditto," you provincial putz?

Texans must find way to score against Patriots
Monday, January 7, 2013
HOUSTON (AP) — Another trip to New England awaits the Houston Texans, and coach Gary Kubiak knows what his team has to do to have a chance against the Patriots in the second round of the playoffs.
"Get in the red zone, playing New England, we have to get touchdowns," left tackle Duane Brown said. "You've got to do a better job up front, whatever play is called ... can't settle for field goals. Everyone was pretty disappointed and that was a good thing. We're disappointed we got field goals and that's a sign of a great team, great offense, and we'll look at it and see what corrections need to be made."
Houston had struggled on both sides of the ball on third down recently, but fixed that problem on Saturday. The Texans entered Saturday's game having converted just 15 of 49 third-down attempts in their last four games.
"They have a great coach and a great quarterback and they have great role players on their team," Foster said of the Patriots. "I have a lot of respect for them, but we can play ball, too. We didn't play our best football up there and we hurt ourselves with penalties and mistakes. Anytime you give them opportunities, they'll take advantage of them. But we'll play our best up there."

|Geometric Study of Minkowski Differences of Plane Convex Bodies
In the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, we define the Minkowski difference $\mathcal{K}-\mathcal{L}$ of two arbitrary convex bodies $\mathcal{K}$, $\mathcal{L}$ as a rectifiable closed curve $\mathcal{H}_{h}\subset \mathbb{R} ^{2}$ that is determined by the difference $h=h_{\mathcal{K}}-h_{\mathcal{L} } $ of their support functions. This curve $\mathcal{H}_{h}$ is called the hedgehog with support function $h$. More generally, the object of hedgehog theory is to study the Brunn--Minkowski theory in the vector space of Minkowski differences of arbitrary convex bodies of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R} ^{n+1}$, defined as (possibly singular and self-intersecting) hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Hedgehog theory is useful for: (i) studying convex bodies by splitting them into a sum in order to reveal their structure; (ii) converting analytical problems into geometrical ones by considering certain real functions as support functions. The purpose of this paper is to give a detailed study of plane hedgehogs, which constitute the basis of the theory. In particular: (i) we study their length measures and solve the extension of the Christoffel--Minkowski problem to plane hedgehogs; (ii) we characterize support functions of plane convex bodies among support functions of plane hedgehogs and support functions of plane hedgehogs among continuous functions; (iii) we study the mixed area of hedgehogs in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and give an extension of the classical Minkowski inequality (and thus of the isoperimetric inequality) to hedgehogs.

|Tyler Colvin is making fans miss Eric Young, Jr.
The statement, however, wasn't what Rockies fans were hoping it would be. The Rockies made it clear on Friday night that they aren't very good, and they have no intention of getting better.
As difficult as it might be to hear, this team, the way they are currently playing, is showing that they have no business in a division race. They don't play good baseball. It is one thing to get owned by a Cy Young candidate like Clayton Kershaw. It's even explainable when a top prospect like Tyler Skaggs comes up and dominates a lineup missing Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez.
The issue isn't getting dominated by a pitcher, the issue is batters taking terrible at bats, failing to move runners over, outfielders taking bad routes to baseballs, and a catcher who had made significant progress in April with his defense, but has suddenly reverted back to bad mechanics, and a manager whose level of accountability is so high that he can't make a move on his own.
What do all of those things come together to spell? Laziness.
This is a Rockies team that is missing three of their top batters in Tulowitzki, Gonzalez and Fowler. However, that doesn't excuse the play that they have gotten from the guys filling in.
The best example came in the 8th inning. Nolan Arenado stepped to the plate leading off the inning and ripped a single to center field. Tyler Colvin came to the plate with a chance to give the Rockies some momentum. Tyler Skaggs was deep into the game and was tiring. If Colvin could get on, the Rockies could put a number on the board and at least make themselves believe they had a chance to win.
With a 2-0 count, the .159 hitter took a hack at a fastball that was six inches off of the plate, fouling it off. Instead of a 3-0 count, Colvin allowed Skaggs back into the count. Skaggs countered with another ball, moving the count to 3-1. On the fifth pitch of the at-bat, Colvin swung at another pitch out of the zone, hitting a tailor-made double play ball to Didi Gregorious at shortstop. It ended any chance the Rockies had of doing damage.
The mark of a good hitter is a guy who can work the strike zone and force the pitcher to throw strikes. It is a hard enough game for a pitcher, so when a batter helps them out, it makes things significantly easier. In a 5-0 game, even if Colvin hits a home run, the Rockies are still three runs down. At that point, they need base runners, they need to work counts, and they need to chip away. Swinging at 2-0 pitches, then 3-1 pitches is the product of undisciplined baseball.
If Colvin's at-bat wasn't bad enough, watch a replay of Paul Goldschmidt's double in the bottom of the 5th inning that allowed Aaron Hill to score. Goldschmidt drilled a line drive to center field that almost certainly had some knuckle to hit. However, it was a ball that most Major League centerfielders drop back on and grab. It only would have been more fitting if Chase Field had played circus music. Colvin turned to his left, then to his right, then back to his left, then watched the ball sail over his head.
The scoring for the Diamondbacks started in the 1st inning. Jorge De La Rosa gave up a triple to leadoff hitter A.J. Pollack, De La Rosa came back to strike out Aaron Hill, and needed two more big outs to get out of the jam. He got them with a ground ball to third base and a line out to shortstop.
The only problem was that before getting Goldschmidt to ground out to third base, he threw a wild pitch, allowing Pollack to trot home. Well, the boxscore shows a wild pitch, anyway. The reality is, the wild pitch should have quotes around it, as the slider in the dirt skipped past Wilin Rosario, who has reverted back to his 2012 form behind the plate. As has been typical in recent days, Rosario turned his glove over in an attempt to backhand the ball. Catchers should never backhand a ball. A good catcher, even a decent catcher, rolls over and blocks the ball, digging his glove into the dirt and angling his chest protector to allow the ball to bounce off of him and stay in front of the plate. Rosario's backhand action has cost the Rockies four runs in the past three games.
For the moves on the field that cost the Rockies the game, a decision was made before the game that quickly brought back nightmares of 2012. After Carlos Gonzalez had exited the game early on Thursday with a sore back, he was left on the bench Friday night. That move wouldn't have been questioned if Rockies manager Walt Weiss hadn't opened his mouth.
Weiss acknowledged that Gonzalez wasn't in the lineup not because of the fact that his back was hurt and needed a day to recover, but instead because the Rockies have 10 games in 10 days before the All-Star Break and he could use a day off.
A day off? Against the team leading the division and a chance to gain ground? If the Rockies were to sweep the series, they would be alone in first place in the National League West. If they take two-of-three, they leave for San Diego just 1-1/2 games out of first place. If Tulowitzki and Fowler weren't already down, the move might be acceptable, but with Gonzalez shouldering much of the load, leaving him on the bench when his back was feeling fine was a message to the team that the game didn't matter. They took it to heart.
This road trip, one in which the Rockies play 10 games against divisional opponents, will be one that tells the story of who the 2013 Colorado Rockies are. Good teams rise to challenges. Good teams find ways to win games on the road when they need to be won. Good teams play clean baseball. Good teams might not win every game, but they don't make habits of giving away at-bats. They don't swing at 2-0 pitches out of the zone when they are down by five runs in the 8th inning.
The Rockies need to not be content with a good start. They need to decide if they are going to be a team that takes one step forward after a 98-loss season, or if they are going to be a team that takes a giant leap into a team looking to be a contender.
If game one of the 10 game road trip tells a story, it's that the Rockies won't be surprising anyone before the All-Star Break.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShorebreakDave Lightweight, slim fit This all-cotton, lightweight, batik-look shirt was made in Indonesia (appropriately for the look). For me with a dress shirt neck size of 17 to 17.5, the large-sized shirt is a bit small; I'd be better off with extra large. It does, however, work with my 34 pant size waist. The print is nice, striped without seeming striped. The pocket is a bit narrower and shallower than normal, leaving a pair of glasses peeking out. December 8, 2013

I'm curious as to how much this will affect opengl based compositors in terms of performance/effeciency.
Phoronix: The GLX Rewrite Lands For X.Org Server 1.15
X.Org Server 1.15 hasn't been too exciting with not many prominent changes, but just ahead of the closure of the merge window, but the GLX rewrite has landed. The GLX rewrite will simplify the X.Org Server's use of OpenGL and drops a whole lot of code in the process...
I'm curious as to how much this will affect opengl based compositors in terms of performance/effeciency.
The mere fact that 41,000 lines of code have been removed shows exactly why X belongs to the past.
Impressive numbers of code line reduction - congratulations!
And nice to see the rewrite included in the 1.15 version
Dropping 41000 lines of code!
Keep trimming it down!
Make it lean and clean!
Burn old legacy code!
Taking in account that Wayland & Mir are yet far from be fully finished, it's a good thing for corrent users...and make things harder for Wayland / Mir to beat its performance
I have great hopes for better stability, greater performance and lower latency.
So, no difference unless you're running openGL apps via remote X, or DMX, or accelerated Xephyr, or ancient DRI1 drivers or something equally exotic.
Maybe you get a reduced memory footprint. This is mainly for cleaner code.
just be linked against the GL API.
See Why does Wayland use EGL and GLES2?

David Yurman uses color fearlessly, combining gemstones in unconventional ways to create truly distinctive and captivating palettes. "Fashion has color moments," he says, "but the reality for me is it's not about trends. There are moments when you want something soft and muted, and moments when you want something deep and rich. I like the idea of mixing colors that you don't often see together, which might feel a bit odd, yet the result is refreshing."
David Yurman's oval link designs turn a classic shape into a contemporary design. Interlocking ovals of different materials, textures, shapes, and sizes gracefully adorn the wrist or encircle the neck. Worn alone, layered, or embellished with a charm, these designs evoke versatility and originality.
