Goat's Early April Mock
What's changed? Wells has moved up in my overall mock and doesn't project to be there. With the signing of Cody I don't think the Texans will feel pressed to take a DT early unless they're sure about him, which bumps Baker down on my draft list.
Wishful Thinking: Malcolm Jenkins
Round 1 pick 15 Alphonso Smith CB Wake Forest 5090 193 4.45
Previously Chris Wells RB Ohio St. 6011 235 4.45
Game breaker.
Very good athlete, with excellent quickness and closes on the play fast. Some of the best instincts I've seen in a college player. Has great hands, and plays the ball like a receiver. Dangerous with the ball in his hands returning INTs or kicks. Has excellent technique and footwork with smooth hips. Very good in his backpedal. Very physical for a corner his size, and is decent in run support. A complete player who is ready to step in immediately.
Played in 51 games amassing 188 tackles, 40 passes defensed, and 21 ints in 4 seasons. 15 INTs in his last two years. Had 3 INTs in 3 practices at the Senior Bowl.
NFL Comparison: Dre Bly
Round 2 pick 14 Rashad Johnson FS Alabama 5112 205 4.50
An outstanding team leader who plays like a coach on the field. Reads plays quickly. Has great instincts and ball skills that make him a play maker in pass defense. A solid tackler who will support the run. Very smart and a hard worker.
Played in 27 games the past 2 seasons with 183 tackles, 19 passes defensed, and 11 INTs.
NFL Comparison: OJ Atogwe
Round 3 pick 13 Michael Hamlin SS Clemson 6020 215 4.55
Previously Chris Baker DT Hampton 6020 326 5.00
Another team leader with a high football IQ, who plays smart and makes a lot of plays. Has excellent hands and ball skills that combine with his instincts to result in a lot of INTs. A good tackler who does a great job supporting the run.
Played in 26 games the last 2 seasons with 207 tackles, 16 passes defensed and 10 INTs.
Round 4 pick 12 Javon Ringer RB Michigan St. 5091 205 4.45
An excellent spell back to Steve Slaton who brings many of the same abilities, while still offering a different skill set. Ringer is smallish, but runs hard, and low behind his pads making him difficult to bring down. He's quick, with outstanding change of direction and balance, but lacks that extra gear. He has good hands, and is a more dangerous weapon in the passing game than he was able to show in college. He may be rising past this point after his monster pro day, where he blew away NFL scouts by destroying the agility drills, but I think his injury history will have him available here.
Played in 26 games the last 2 seasons with 635 carries for 3084 yards, 4.8 ypc and 28 TDs.
Round 4 pick 22 Gerald McRath OLB/ILB Southern Miss 6017 231 4.60
A solid athlete with a lot of upside. Has room to get bigger without losing his agility. Very productive in college. Not a big hitter, but does a good job of wrapping up and dragging the ball carrier down. Does a good job of reading the QB's eyes in coverage. Reads plays quickly and isn't fooled by misdirection. Has shown that he can be aggressive and take on blockers when he wants to. Is versatile and can play any linebacker position in a 4-3.
Played in 26 games the last 2 seasons, with 276 tackles, 21.5 TFL, and 6 sacks.
Round 5 pick 16 Roy Miller DT Texas 6012 310 5.10
Big strong DT who could still get bigger. Has a none stop motor, and brings everything he has. Is really strong at the point of attack, and could be a situational run defender in Bush's attacking defense.
Played in 13 games in 2008 producing 49 tackles, 11 TFL, and 5.5 sacks.
Round 6 pick 15 DeAndre Levy OLB Wisconsin 6016 236 4.55
Smart guy who is a leader on defense. Has good range that he uses well to stick with TEs in coverage, and chase down ball carriers. Solid form tackler. Very physical player who will fight it out at the line.
Played in 39 games the last 3 seasons with 193 tackles, 14 sacks, and 2 INTs.
Round 7 Pick 14 Sebastian Vollmer OT Houston 6075 312 5.10
Huge athletic tackle with good strength, and upside to match his size.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I really like the idea of taking a cornerback first. However, if it is going to be Alphonso Smith, he can probably be had later in the first round. If he is going to be the pick, then the Texans should really trade down a bit and pick him up a bit later, like they did with Duane Brown last year. That would also add at least one more draft pick, possibly enabling the Texans to spend more resources on the secondary as you have suggested.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I like Smith, play maker CB. Roy Miller impressed the hell out of me, and fits the NT position. Solid mock.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Something the defense didn't do enough of last year was force turnovers. That's something that Smith, Johnson, and Hamlin would quickly rectify. Those 3 guys combined for 18 INTs last year. Those type of plays can change the course of a season.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I'm just not a big back-end guy, too heavy there for my liking not a particularly strong draft class in area.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I really like Smith and if we are gonna take a corner, a "pure corner" and not a watered down version who dosen't have to play a lot of man-coverage most of the time, Smith is my top pick for a CB. OK he's short, but I'll take his superior speed and athleticism over the taller Jenkins.
Now if they want a more versitle defensive back who can play some corner but the Texans are using the less demanding Cover 2 type scheme and a guy who can also play some FS, then Jenkins is the choice (if the 2 would somehow both be available).
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Man, I would be thrilled with that! The problem we're getting to in the 1st round are "guys that slip to us" vs. "nobody worth the 15th". There's a whole slew of guys that fans think would be better if we trade down and only a couple players that we're hoping slip to us. The problem arises when we CAN'T trade down, we'll be forced to take a player at 15 that everyone would rather see at 25... be that Alphonso Smith, Clay Matthews, etc.
This would solve our secondary problem once and for all... that's for sure.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I think this is a great draft to complete the secondary but so much is left by the wayside in doing so I don't know that it would be worth it. Ringer not the correct choice either, we need more size at backup RB...a goalline/short yardage type. I like both S and think they would be starting by year's end but the Smith pick I just can't swallow. If we looked at LB Matthews, Laraunitis or if Jenkins slips, or hell I'd rather have Wells or Moreno there instead of reaching for a CB. So to completely cherry pick your draft:
1. Matthews (I can't help myself anymore. It's automatic, sorry)
2. Johnson FS
3. Hamlin SS
4. Gartrell Johnson RB
4a. CB Here, a few guys fit the mold of CB that Smithiak takes
5-7 I like. Maybe I would go after Oline depth before I went after another OLB or Dline depth (Miller) but these guys are projects no matter what and I like who you went after.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Interesting mock going for DB's in first 3 rds. I would go for a larger punishing RB however. Overall not to bad.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
He is the guy I would sub for Ringer in Goat's mock.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Goat, what do you think about Darius Butler or Vontae Davis? I think this mock draft is another example of why we must trade down, even if we can only get 80 cents on the dollar. If we trade down into the late first and pickup a second, or a third and fourth, it will allow us to address the interior line... something we MUST do!
I like your mock, but we'd be going into minicamp with Chris White and Kasey Studdard as our primary backups inside... not to mention the fact that Pitts is scheduled to become a FA after '09 and we have a ton of contracts coming up at the same time.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
With that said, I think more teams are willing to trade down this draft because of that. So a team could get into negotiations and not pay as much for the move. Overall, I think there will be less teams looking to trade up, less players available that are exactly who they want so the phone may be quiet.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
Of course I'm one of the few who thinks we're solid at all our starting LB spots, and just need depth.
A big bruiser would be great, but I don't think we can fix all of our needs in one draft. Unfortunately something is going to get left out.
If he gets with a good coaching staff he could really developer into a good pro. If he goes somewhere with poor coaching he's just going to be exposed and waste all of his talent.
Davis is a guy I liked in 2007, and watched him early in the year. After a couple of games in '08 he just really didn't strike me as a good football player, and he seemed to have regressed. Instead of working hard to improve his core skill set he just tries to get by on athletic ability. Sure he has almost everything you look for athletically (except the T-Rex arms), and is really strong for a corner, but there's more to being a corner than strength and speed. He's physical within 5 yards of the line, and could end up better than Jenkins in run support. He doesn't seem to have great awareness, and his ball skills are just ok. He doesn't always give his best effort, and will quit on some plays that he doesn't think he can make(but probably could if he went 100%). He will often let a guy get past him and end up chasing the play instead of being in the middle of it. In other words he gets burned.
Then there is his attitude. He has clashed with coaches over his effort, and he has a big ego that makes him hard to teach. I think he can be a good corner, but he's almost as likely to be a bum like his worthless kin.
I agree that we need some more depth in the middle, and a more physical starting center would be great, but we only have so many picks. There's a good chance we trade down in the first and still get Smith, while picking up a couple of day 2 picks where there's O-line depth(Maybe a 4th and 6th from Detroit). I don't project trades in my mocks though since it's pretty much impossible.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I love both your first 2 picks. Alphonso Smith looks to be a good one. Saw a piece on him saying in college he actually sat in on QB meetings to see what the QB's looked for on tape.
I honestly think we are looking at bigger backs to draft. Not sure Ringer fits into that. But, you never know...
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I think the Texans would love to have a bigger back, but unless they take one early or spend multiple picks I don't see one that I would want starting as a rookie. That's why I went with Ringer. He could step in right away and give you everything Slaton does as a starter except his break away speed. The big backs in that range don't strike me as really dynamic, and teams will be able to shut them down more easily if they're the feature back.
Re: Goat's Early April Mock
I would be for the trade down that you suggested Goat. With the trade down we probably would have our choice of A.Smith or Butler. I would prefer Butler but would be OK with Smith.
With th extra 4th & 6th we could draft Ringer & G. Johnson & a OLB or P with the 6th.
I would love to get G.Johnson & believe he will be available in the 5th.
The punter we can get late is Dustin Colquitt, he is from the punting family of Colquitts from Tennesee.

A True Brother Poem by Jawad Al Harake
A true brother is the one who
Builds an unbreakable bond with you
And it doesn't matter from where he came
Or if you were the same
It only matters that both of you share
Friendship, respect and care
A true brother may be old or even young
He may be also short or even long
Matter not the outside
Only look through him inside
If you found a pure gem,
Then this would be him
Don't say that your brother
Is only the son of your father
For he can be
Anyone you see
Anyone who shows loyalty
Accompanied by true principles pf morality
A true brother is the one who shows
Tolerance where ever he goes
A true brother is more than a friend
Where the formed friendship can never end
He is absolutely more than a buddy
He is like an organ in the body
A true brother is a hidden treasure
That conceals friendship's pleasure
He is the one who never lets you down
And never irritates you or makes you frown
And never leaves thee alone, but always be with you
When you're desperate, sad and glad too
A true brother is the one who you can trust
Because he knows that friendship is a must
Your secrets he'll never spread
In brief, it is true what is said
That a friend in need
Is a friend in deed

I have often wondered why natural bogs are dangerous.
Now I know, I just filled my artificial bog and the peat initially forms a crust which 'floats'. The crust isnt as dense as water so an animal would sink into it before reaching bouyant water. There is enough water in the crust to drown in.
Scarey stuff.
I am hoping it will settle somewhat, will it??????? I have to buy more peat, I have actually covered the surface with a net so if anything does walk out on to the bog it will have at least a fair chance of finding purchase.
Some photos to follow when I remember where I left the camera.
HEHEHE. Works much better if you fill up the hole until it is piled very high and then add water from the bottom up. Might take a few days before things get soaked up and you can add some more water. But the other way will work. Just gotta keep piling a little at a time until it finally levels off.
I have just come in from wading the bog, a strange sensation and what a horrible site that would have been for anyone, me in shorts. Anyway there feels to be at least 6" of water under the crust, I have just got as much peat again so by the time that goes in I think it will firm up a fair bit. I covered the surface with a piece of liner so that should stop anything getting into the bog in the mean time.
I dont want to add the new peat at the moment as I suspect I will be emptying the bog to fiddle with the liner. It doesnt feel right in some places.

I just found one on my patio umbrella when I opened it a while ago. It was sleeping in the folds of fabric when it was down. Now it crawled under the baffle on top to get out of the sun. Anyone else ever have this happen? It was such a surprise. I saw the shadow when I opened it and just thought it was a tree frog, but I did a double take when I went around to look. We have them around in the evening, but I've never seen them around the house like this. I wonder if I need to be concerned at all. Any thoughts on that? I like having them around for mosquito control.
Glad you are tolerant of their presence and realize what a benefit they are to your environment. Bet it's a young one that decided to roost there rather than returning to it's regular roosting area. I'd just keep an eye one it and as long as it leaves tonight to feed, you probably won't see it again except on the wing. Then again, if you normally close the umbrella at night, it may have decided this is a pretty comfy pad. LOL.
If it doesn't leave, I would contact a wildlife rehabber. They will have more info for you and may want to come get it for observation. Contrary to the horror stories, most bats we see roosting near our homes are not rabid nor any danger to humans. Most people would be surprised at how many nocturnal critters live within our trees and yards and we never see them!
I'd have to say "Ditto" to Nancy's post in it's entirety! The only thing I'd add is that if you enjoy having the bat(s) around--you might try to put up a bat house to give them a place to roost that's more fitting than the umbrella. Bats are great--and if they "give" you guano--it's great fertilzer! :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Info on bats and bat houses
Count me with the other two for the most part:). It may be a male bat looking for a temporary roost. The females often kick the males out of the colony during pupping season and your season has probably just started. If the bat were sick, it would not move to a better place when you disturbed it. A note: animal rehab people don't generally take animals for "observation" they'd most likely tell you to leave it alone if it doesn't bother you having him live there for a while.
I second the bat house notion and recommend batcon.org for excellent information.
I was excited to find it and sorry my family wasn't around to see it.
It wasn't there this morning, so I suspect it was just temporary. I really don't think it would've stayed when it got hot any way. It has southern exposure and it was about 90 yesterday.
We have forested land around us, so they don't lack for roosting places. They come around the yard every evening and I sometimes will just sit and watch them. As a kid, friends and I would hit tennis balls into the air and watch the bats go after it. This was near a street light, so there were a lot of insects around.
My dad did the exact same thing! He about jumped out of his skin...lol. He took to leaving the umbrella opened, and the bat hasn't returned. I bought him a bat house years ago for father's day. He's never had a bat in it...lol...only the umbrella!

Foster Golf - Welcome to Foster Country Club

5 surprising things Apple CEO Tim Cook said last night
- By Luke Stangel
Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage at the D11 conference Tuesday night, and gave a wide-ranging, 81-minute interview with AllThingsD reporters Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg. While he played a lot of Apple cards close to his chest, Cook did reveal his thinking on a number of future product concepts, such as wearable devices and the still-mythical Apple TV set.
Here are Cook's top 5 comments. Watch the entire interview here.
#1: He wants the stock to improve
"If you look at the stock, which is a lot of what people focus on, the stock price has been frustrating," Cook said (at about the 6:30 mark). "The stock price has been frustrating for investors and all of us."
He went on to remind investors that people who've bought Apple stock at the right time have become very wealthy. In early 2009, Apple shares were trading around $70 per share, and have since gained more than 400 percent.
"I think what we have to do is focus on making the best products," Cook said. "If we do that right, if we make great products that enrich people's lives, the other things will happen."
#2: We have a 'grand vision' for Apple TV
Apple has sold more than 13 million Apple TVs since 2007, despite nearly nonexistent marketing around the product. For years, there's been speculation that Apple is secretly developing a much larger product around television, most likely with streaming video, Internet connectivity, digital music, apps and games.
Cook danced around the question, saying television was an area of "incredible interest" for Apple.
"I think many of us would agree that there are lots of things about the TV experience that can be better," Cook said (around the 11:10 mark). "We answered some of those, clearly not all of those, with Apple TV and we're going to continue making that better."
Mossberg pressed Cook for product details, but got few.
"When you look at the TV experience, it's not an experience that very many people love," Cook said. "It's not an experience that you would say has been brought up-to-date for this decade. It's still an experience that's too much like it was 10 years ago, in many cases, 20 years ago, and in some cases, even longer."
#3: Google Glass is cool, but just for geeks
Tim Cook doesn't think grandma wants Google Glass. More broadly, he thinks wearable computers—such as the Nike Fuelband and Pebble Watch—will be a big growth area.
"I think there are some positive points in the product," Cook said of Google Glass (around the 15:00 mark). "I think it's probably more likely to appeal to certain vertical markets. I think the likelihood that it has broad range appeal is tough to see."
Cook wears a Nike Fuelband, which does one thing really well: Counting the number of steps you take during the day and syncing with your smartphone. "Wearables" that do many things haven't excited him yet.
"There's nothing great out there that I've seen," Cook said, referring to wearables that do multiple things. "There's nothing that's going to convince a kid that's never worn glasses, or a band or a watch to wear one, or at least, I haven't seen it. There are lots of things to solve in this space, but it's an area that's ripe for exploration. It's ripe for all of us getting excited about. I think there will be tons of companies playing in this [space]."
#4: Android's big, but who wants to be big?
Tim Cook knows Android is growing much faster than iOS. "I don't have my head stuck in the sand," he said.
Apple is not necessarily interested in being big. It's interested in being the best.
"For us, winning has never been about making the most. That's never been the cornerstone of Apple," Cook said (around the 22:00 mark). "Arguably, we make the best PC. We don't make the most. We make the best music player; we wound up making the most, but we didn't initially. We make the best tablet. We're making the most there today. We make the best phone; we're not making the most phones."
He went on to bash Android, saying the metrics tell the story: Apple users spend more time on their devices per day, buy more apps and make more retail purchases on their devices and report the highest customer satisfaction among smartphone and tablet owners.
#5: Corporate taxes in the U.S. are crazy complicated
Apple's business has been 'gutting the code'—making complicated things easier to understand. Cook says it's time the IRS do the same.
"I think for multinationals, the right approach would be simplicity," Cook said (around the 44:00 mark) "I mean, it's how we approach everything. It's how we approach products and most everything we do. Gut the code. It's 7,500 pages long. None of us could read it and make sense of it. Apple's tax return is 2 feet high. It's crazy, it's absolutely crazy. So I would suggest we gut it, throw away all the tax expenditures, lower the rate and then set a reasonable tax to bring offshore profits back to the U.S. I think that would be great for the U.S."
Cook testified at a Senate subcommittee hearing last week, where he faced tough questions about Apple's offshore cash reserves, and the complicated set of subsidiaries that help the company get money out of the country without paying taxes.
He bristled at the notion that the company had somehow worked out an ultra-low international tax rate with Ireland, even though the Senate found Apple was paying roughly 2 percent in corporate taxes internationally each year.

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP)
An eastern Ohio elementary school official charged following an investigation into the rape of a 16-year-old girl has resolved his case without a trial.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says Steubenville elementary school principal Lynnett Gorman will perform community service related to rape awareness in lieu of prosecution.
DeWine said Wednesday that a misdemeanor charge of failing to report child abuse or neglect will be dropped in June if Gorman completes her service.
A message was left with Gorman's attorney, Dennis McNamara. He has said Gorman was accused of failing to report a teen sex and drinking party in April 2012 unrelated to the rape of the West Virginia girl later that year.
McNamara says Gorman learned about the party second- or third-hand.

Dear Students, Parents/Guardians, and Staff Members,
On Monday, April 6th Fort Huachuca Accommodation Schools will be closed for all staff and students.
An extra day was planned into the 2014/2015 school year to account for possible inclement weather. Fortunately, we did not experience a need to cancel or delay school this year and may use this day at our discretion.
I encourage staff and students to enjoy a long weekend and return to school refreshed and ready to finish the school year successfully.
Our school district is keenly focused on student learning for every student based on strong academic standards, best practices, and data driven decision making. We utilize embedded technology and emphasize teaching the "whole" child. Our goal is to help each child reach his or her full potential. Students are educated to become successful, productive citizens who are critical thinkers and exhibit strong moral character. We have a reputation for excellence in academics, the fine arts, and extracurricular programs.
We appreciate the strong commitment of the military community, our school board, parents, students, and our dedicated staff. All are essential to the educational excellence of the Fort Huachuca Accommodation School district.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in the Fort Huachuca Accommodation School district.
Bonnie Austin
FHASD Superintendent

Will County Republicans Central Committee
Welcome to the Will County Republican Central Committee. Many of our Republican Committeemen ran in the April 9, 2013 Consolidated Elections. In half of the townships, Republican candidates swept their races. Where the Democrats spent the most time and effort, they lost by huge margins. In Lockport Township, Republicans got elected for local offices in the first time in 32 years.
Please join us and find out more about our organization, hear our featured speakers, talk to our elected government office holders, learning about volunteer opportunities to work for candidates who are for less taxes, meet the Republican Precinct Committeemen, and add your voice to our efforts to improve government.
On June 17, 2014, the Will County Republican Cocktail Meet and Greet at the Bolingbrook Country Club, was a financial success. All donors of a thousand dollars or more will have their names listed on this front page for one year (unless the donor decides to opt out). These donors are Roger Claar, Mayor of Boilingbrook, Richard Kavanagh of Kavanagh, Gromley and Gorbold, Nick Ficarello, William Christakes (Alsip's Nurseries), Lawrence Peet (Republican Committeeman), Edward Ronkowski, Chairman of the WCRCC, and Margo McDermed, Candidate for Illinois House District 37.
Thanks to the effort of the Will County Republican Precinct Committeemen leading up the the General Election on November 4, 2014, Will County was one of the top counties in Illinois of votes for Bruce Rauner. Republicans also won back the Will County Board.

Fruit Trees
How do fruit trees do in this type of weather ?
(DFW area) Over 100's days and over 80's nights.
I'm thinking maybe I should plant a pear and/or peach tree.
Or other suggestions maybe.
Don't know about those, Ruth, but my fig tree was loaded with figs, thought I would have enough to make preserves, and now they are sun dried on the tree. Think I will just remove the net and let the mockingbirds have them. I do know that peaches require a certain number of chilling nights in the winter to produce good peaches. I am definitely not an expert on fruit trees.
We have a fig tree in a large pot, but no fruit this year.
Critters get the figs when it does have some.
There are apple and pear trees loaded with fruit in my neighborhood. I just don't know if they taste good.
We bought some local apples years ago and didn't like them.
We had a peach tree when we first moved here, but it died the next year.
My neighbor had one a few years and never got any ripe peaches. They seemed to just fall off the tree while they were still small and green.
I know they grow well in the hill country and Parker county.
There were peach and plum trees in the orchard (now the mini donkeys pasture), but they died during the first really big drought after we moved here in '92. The fruit was very good and they did well for a few years before their demise. There was also a wonderful apple tree up there that produced excellent fruit, but I have no idea which variety it was..........the apples were green and quite large.

Every weekday on Marketplace, Kai Ryssdal hosts a lively and unexpected exploration of the day's business and economic news from Wall Street to your wallet.
Recent Episodes
10-06-2014 Marketplace - Twin Peaks, Twinned
Timothy Geithner, former head of the New York Fed is in court today, testifying about the AIG bailout. This is a big deal because the evidence he gives could change the popular narrative about how the crisis was handled and why. Plus, in an attempt to protect the rapidly growing ed-tech business and get out in front of new laws or regulations, several big-name ed-tech companies are signing a "voluntary" privacy promise, vowing not to sell student data or use it for marketing purposes. Thing is...lots of big names (Google, Apple, Pearson) aren't there. And it's a pretty thin promise. Finally, David Lynch is bringing back "Twin Peaks" after 25 years… 25 years during which the short-lived TV series became a cult classic among new generations of DVD viewers.
10-05-2014 Marketplace - Hewlett [and] Packard?
Silicon Valley stalwart Hewlett-Packard is going to divide itself two publicly traded companies. One will focus business technology, including software and services, while the other will sell PCs and printers. HP isn't the first company (tech or otherwise) to change it's business model of late. Plus: Reading behind the news that the JP Morgan hack was the tip of a very large iceberg, it turns out that the regulations governing disclosure of hacks to the public are full of holes. They vary from state to state, and in some cases, depending on what information has been compromised, may not require disclosure at all. Finally, as part of its latest deal with the NBA, ESPN will offer online streaming of regular season games live, even for people who aren't cable or satellite TV subscribers. It's a major shift in approach. We run down the questions remaining.
10-03-14 Marketplace - Is Phillips Curving?
The unemployment rate is falling and some are now calling on the Federal Reserve to start raising interest rates. Does the famous "Phillips Curve" still apply in an age where the nature of unemployment has changed so radically? Next, in the wake of JP Morgan's admission that 76 million households were hit with a data breach, up from just a few million in August, we explain how companies determine they have been breached, the forensics that go into identifying and repairing the breach, and what this means for JPMorgan's 76 million households. We also take a look at the world of film adaptations - Gillian Flynn adapted her book "Gone Girl" into a screenplay herself, and she's not the only author who has done the same very recently for high profile pics. It used to be pretty hard for authors to get these gigs. And, last but certainly not least, we trace the boom and bust of guar gum - a product used in everything from toothpaste to fracking.
10-02-14 - Marketplace - The Stronger Dollar
The dollar is getting stronger. For that, you can thank the decision to roll back quantitative easing in the U.S., and the European Central Bank's decision to do more QE in the EU. Some people love a strong dollar, but others don't. We look at why the dollar's doing better, and who the winners and losers are this time round. Meanwhile, oil prices are falling in part because the global production of oil is reducing Saudi Arabia's — and therefore OPEC's — influence. Saudi Arabia was the swing state that could turn production up or down to affect prices. Now it's keeping production up despite falling prices to avoid losing foreign buyers. Plus, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is getting into the auto market. The company is buying the Van Tuyl Group, which is America's fifth-largest dealership. The purchase price is unknown, but we do know that whatever Buffett does, others watch very closely. What's behind the move, and what does it say about the auto biz?
10-01-14 - Marketplace - How to get a vaccine to market
The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. raises the question of whether there will be a more concerted effort to create a vaccine or drug treatment for the disease. We explain the incentives at play when companies and governments pursue drugs, how the industry/marketplace respond to outbreaks, and how drug resources get mobilized. Next, small cable companies are getting out of the TV side of the business or reducing their offerings. We look at what this means for shows. Finally: Reddit has just raised $50 million in funding from investors and is preparing to give 10 percent of these shares back to its community of users as equity. This is a "long-held dream" says CEO Yishan Wong, and now it's time to figure out how that model could actually work.
09-30-14 - Marketplace - Birthday cake for HealthCare.gov?
Today eBay announced that it's going to split with PayPal and make both entities separate companies. Will PayPal users actually notice? In other tech-companies-talking news, Netflix has forged a deal with the Weinstein Company, to stream a sequel to the hit movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" next year on the same day the movie is released in selected theaters. This disrupts the current movie distribution system which mandates a delay between a movie's release in theaters and its being made available in other forms – DVD, Pay TV and Video on Demand platforms. And finally, it's the anniversary of the launch of HealthCare.gov. We check in.

I am on 4.3 (ML3) STock Kernel and I am missing the ability to use all the Bluetooth 4.0 gadgets like Wrist-/Sport Sensor from Polar (H7) with Running Apps like Runtastic or Polar Beat.
Users of Galaxy S3 and S4 write that it works on their device sinde they are on 4.3 (Stock). I tried everything on my Note2 with 4.3 (including a full wipe and a different Rom (Phoenix 16.7 currently)
Any solutions? Any Kernels that support that feature?
Edit: Wahoo BluHR works with Runtastic. No Polar H7 Recognition (on S3 & S4 it works...!)
