Former United keeper Ron-Robert Zieler is set to feature against the Reds in Saturday's Chevrolet Cup game against Hannover.
It got us thinking about goalies who faced Sir Alex's side after leaving the club during the manager's reign.
From our research, we think EIGHT have done this. They must have been named in a competitive United first-team by the boss and played against the Reds later in their career in a senior fixture. It does not count if they were an unused substitute.
Can you name them?

NEW YORK — There's extensive evidence that pigs are as smart and sociable as dogs. Yet one species is afforded affection and respect; the other faces mass slaughter en route to becoming bacon, ham and pork chops.
Seeking to capitalize on that discrepancy, animal-welfare advocates are launching a campaign called The Someone Project that aims to highlight research depicting pigs, chickens, cows and other farm animals as more intelligent and emotionally complex than commonly believed. The hope is that more people might view these animals with the same empathy that they view dogs, cats, elephants, great apes and dolphins.
"When you ask people why they eat chickens but not cats, the only thing they can come up with is that they sense cats and dogs are more cognitively sophisticated that then species we eat — and we know this isn't true," said Bruce Friedrich of Farm Sanctuary, the animal-protection and vegan-advocacy organization that is coordinating the new project.
"What it boils down to is people don't know farm animals the way they know dogs or cats," Friedrich said. "We're a nation of animal lovers, and yet the animals we encounter most frequently are the animals we pay people to kill so we can eat them."
The lead scientist for the project is Lori Marino, a lecturer in psychology at Emory University who has conducted extensive research on the intelligence of whales, dolphins and primates. She plans to review existing scientific literature on farm animals' intelligence, identify areas warranting new research, and prepare reports on her findings that would be circulated worldwide via social media, videos and her personal attendance at scientific conferences.
"I want to make sure this is all taken seriously," Marino said in an interview. "The point is not to rank these animals but to re-educate people about who they are. They are very sophisticated animals."
For Marino and Friedrich, who are both vegans, the goals of the project are twofold — to build broader public support for humane treatment of farm animals and to boost the ranks of Americans who choose not to eat meat.
"This project is not a way to strong-arm people into going vegan overnight but giving them a fresh perspective and maybe making them a little uncomfortable," Marino said.
"Maybe they'll be thinking, 'Hmm, I didn't know cows and pigs could recognize each other and have special friends,'" she said. "That might make them squirm a little, but that's OK."
The major associations representing chicken and pork producers say the farmers they represent already have taken strides to minimize cruel treatment of farm animals.
"While animals raised for food do have a certain degree of intelligence, Farm Sanctuary is seeking to humanize them to advance its vegan agenda — an end to meat consumption," said David Warner of the National Pork Producers Council. "While vegans have a right to express their opinion — and we respect that right — they should not force their lifestyle on others."
Gwen Venable of the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association said poultry provides a valuable, affordable source of protein.
"Consumers should be able choose their food based on their own dietary preferences and nutritional needs and without being unduly influenced by any one group's personal agenda," she wrote in an email. "We do not feel that Farm Sanctuary's campaign is reasonable, as the campaign's ultimate goal would be to eradicate poultry and pork from consumers' diets."
Thomas Super of the National Chicken Council said efforts to link farm animals with household pets was part of a strategy to create a "meat-free society." He also contended that the farmers and companies involved in raising chickens have a vested interest in ensuring they are healthy and well-treated.
While The Someone Project will encompass several species of farm animals, pigs are likely to be one of the prime subjects, given the breadth of past studies of their intelligence and behavior. Some researchers say pigs' cognitive abilities are superior to 3-year-old children, as well as to dogs and cats.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a section on its website entitled "The Hidden Lives of Pigs" which depicts them as social, playful and protective animals with a vocabulary of more than 20 different oinks, grunts and squeaks.
"Pigs are known to dream, recognize their own names, learn tricks like sitting for a treat, and lead social lives of a complexity previously observed only in primates," the website says. "Like humans, pigs enjoy listening to music, playing with soccer balls, and getting massages."
The website recounts news stories of pigs saving the lives of imperiled humans and saving themselves by jumping off trucks bound for slaughterhouses.

GE Capital takes its marketing show on the road
Blog Entry:
May 09, 2013 10:32 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
GE Capital this week
is embarking
on an advertising campaign with Slate.com that will feature a six-month roadshow — including a stop in Cleveland — in an effort to stimulate its lending to midsize businesses.
The New York Times
reports "The Roadshow for Growth" entails a bus tour through various cities, starting in Kansas City, Mo. It then moves to St. Louis, Indianapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, Dallas, Atlanta and Los Angeles, among others. It will end in Columbus in late October.
"At each stop, the roadshow will host different events, like town hall discussions, conversations with the city's mayor, and visits with middle-market businesses,"
The Times
reports. In Kansas City on Monday, for example, there was a meeting with Mayor Sly James and a town hall session with GE Capital employees, while the Chicago visit today "is to include a discussion moderated by Jacob Weisberg, chairman of the Slate Group, and featuring Mayor Rahm Emanuel and economist Austan Goolsbee, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers during the first term of the Obama administration," according to the newspaper.
The campaign is the latest and largest example of so-called "native advertising," or content sponsored by advertisers.
Ian Forrest, vice president of global marketing at GE Capital, tells
The Times
that the roadshow, jointly developed by GE Capital and Slate.com, was aimed at providing a "holistic, 360-degree view of the middle-market opportunity," and also to "touch customers, prospective customers, employees and policy makers, to start a dialogue and discussion." Another goal, he added, is to motivate legislators to pass new regulations in support of middle-market business growth.
Daily blog posts, video and commentary on the roadshow will be published on a special website, Roadshow.slate.com. The site is promoted as a "sponsored section" on Slate.com.
This and that
DIY, with a twist:
Instead of going it alone, investors such as Jim Bennett, a 65-year-old retired information technology professional in Macedonia, increasingly are "pursuing a kind of modified DIY approach, tapping an array of sophisticated online tools and a-la-carte advice services offered by financial firms," according to
this story
The Wall Street Journal
"The result is that there has been strong growth in customer assets at the mutual-fund and discount-brokerage companies that have traditionally served the do-it-yourself market, a group that includes Vanguard Group, Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab Corp.,"
The Journal
The paper notes that Mr. Bennett has been an avid do-it-yourself investor for decades after concluding that "nobody out there cared about my success or failure as much as I did." His wife, Karen, 55, a retired accountant, shared his philosophy.
"Still, eight years ago, the couple, who invest primarily at Vanguard, opted to have that firm prepare a financial plan for them as they looked ahead to leaving the work force," the newspaper reports. "They now update it annually, speaking by phone with one of the more than 200 certified financial planners on Vanguard's staff."
Mr. Bennett tells
The Journal
, "We have been and continue to be our own money managers." But he and his wife use the service to get input and "an affirmation of what we are thinking and doing."
Heavy metal theft:
is No. 1 nationwide
in insurance claims for metal thefts.
The Associated Press says a National Insurance Crime Bureau reports shows there were 3,228 claims filed in Ohio from 2010 through 2012, 23% more than second-place Texas.
Among metropolitan areas, Cincinnati ranked sixth with 720 claims, Cleveland was ninth with 627, and Columbus was 13th with 444 claims.
Metal theft has been increasing across the country. Thieves have stripped sheets of metal from rooftops, ripped apart air conditioners for the copper coils, and stolen cemetery decorations. The pieces are then sold for scrap, and quick cash for the thieves.
House porn:
The Wall Street Journal
every day runs a slideshow of a fancy house for sale somewhere across the country, and
yesterday's edition
was of a 1916-vintage, French Normandy-style home in Hunting Valley that could be yours for just $2,995,000.
"The owners, David Snider, 49, and Robin Snider, 52, purchased this property through a trust in the affluent town of Hunting Valley in northeast Ohio for about $1.75 million in 2002, according to public records," the newspaper says.
The house, situated on about 12 acres, has had significant upgrades and is now more than 10,000 square feet. The renovations, which took place in 2006, "cost more than $2.5 million, Mr. Snider said," according to the newspaper. There is also a guesthouse connected by a walkway that was added in the early 1970s by a previous owner, he said.
(The guesthouse is 1,800 square feet.)
The main house includes five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The property also includes a pool and pool house.

Early start for Thanksgiving Week List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday that changed the BCS picture.... 13) Didn't take Alabama long to get back in the national title picture, with both Oregon/Kansas State losing, the SEC almost has to have a team in the national title game, and against Notre Dame, unranked at the start of the season. Irish should beat USC next week, with Matt Barkley separating his passing shoulder at the end of the UCLA game. On a side note, cant wait for the BCS playoffs and this is why they should have an 8 team playoff. How does the SEC get away with playing Division II type schools and move up in the polls. How does Notre Dame get a free ride into the National Championship game without having to play in a conference let alone a conference championship game. But Im not angry or anything. 12) Huge day for Jim Mora Jr, who Bruins now will take to the recruiting trail with a bounce to their step after beating USC 38-28; UCLA is also going to the Pac-12 title game, as champs of the Pac-12 South. They've got a strong nucleus of young players, especially on offense. 11) As for Lane Kiffin, his Trojans are first preseason #1 team to lose four regular season games since 1984; they could be first one to lose five regular season games since 1964 if they lose next week. He must fire his father and get a defensive co-ordinator that knows what he is doing. A fucking shame what the coaching staff did to this team this year. 10) Rough day for the Wake Forest athletic department; Deacons were lifeless in a 38-0 pummeling in South Bend; the basketball team was down 48-13 to Iona in the Virgin Islands, in the first half, the same Iona team that lost Friday.....to Quinnipiac. Wake wound up losing 94-68. 9) Seven SEC teams played I-AA opponents this week; not a good time of year for that. Alabama-West Carolina game had a total of 100 plays, as the timekeeper probably played running time. Louisiana Tech, in their loss to Utah State, ran 108 plays for 629 yards, all by themselves. KState-Baylor game had 163 plays, NC State-Clemson game had 190 plays. Alabama ripped off its fans with a glorified scrimmage. 8) Winless Southern Miss scored with 2:48 left to get within 34-33 of UTEP, then for some reason, went for two points, despite their QB being 4th-stringer Arsenio Favor. When you're winless, that stuff never works, and the Golden Eagles lost again. They had 18 consecutive winning seasons before this year, and now they're winless. Yikes. 7) When (former Southern Mississippi coach) Larry Fedora took over at North Carolina, he asked each of his offensive linemen to lose 20-25 pounds, to better block for the spread offense. Tough adjustment for the kids, but Tar Heels are 7-4. Fedora did inherit some talented players. . 6) Wouldn't want to be at season-ending banquet for Washington State's team; older players apparently hate Mike Leach, and feeling seems to be mutual. Coogs have been outscored 100-7 in the first half of their last three games-- doubt Senior Day will be whole lot of fun, either. If Leach can keep his job long enough, he'll win up there, but it'll take a while. 5) Kicker from Rice named Chris Boswell made FGs of 53-51-56 yards, tying a record, so good for him. How does Rice have a great kicker but not some of the bigger name teams? 4) Utah State is 9-2, a tremendous accomplishment for a program that hasn't won very much; they led 41-14 at Louisiana Tech with 1:00 left in third quarter, but Bulldogs made another wild comeback and took game to OT, where State prevailed, 48-41. Can Aggies keep coach Gary Anderson long enough for him to coach in the MWC next year? 3) Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez, who seems like a good guy, has won four of his last five games with the Wildcats-- he is the first Arizona coach to go bowling in his first season in Tucson. Good for him; we liked him on CBS Sports Network last year, after getting canned at Michigan. . 2) Michigan State is the first team since 1971 to play seven games in a row decided by 4 or less points. Spartans lost to 8-3 Northwestern team that led in 4th quarter in all three of its losses. 1) It is now entirely possible that the nation's only unbeaten team won't even go to a bowl; Ohio State. If Notre Dame were to lose the national title game, that would leave the Buckeyes as the lone unbeaten, assuming they beat Michigan in their rivalry game. Then what? Will anyone declare them mythical national champs, or co-champs, if they're the only unbeaten team when the season ends?
Make post sticky on:
After a tough Saturday for many of us.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP 25 UPDATE 1. Oregon. Standing on the precipice of a BCS title shot and an undefeated season, Oregon peered over the edge, sneezed, and after slipping plummeted headlong into the abyss with a 17-14 loss to Stanford in Autzen Stadium. How did this happen? The usual Stanford victory march: marauding defensive linemen, Shayne Skov crashing plays to pieces in the backfield, and Stanford tight end Zach Ertz catching a touchdown while standing on his head. 2. Kansas State. Explaining Oregon's collapse is doable (Stanford's defensive line wrecked Oregon's blocking scheme, for instance, upsetting everything the Ducks do offensively). There is literally no explanation for Baylor beating Kansas State by a score of 52-24. Sure, you could buy a 52-48 shootout, maybe, with one team holding serve and emerging as the bullet-riddled victor in a spray-and-pray Big 12 gunstorm. That could have happened, partly because this is the Big 12, and especially because the defensively challenged but offensively potent Baylor Bears are involved. But this Baylor defense was not even your usual series of clueless AI bots. This team came into the game with the worst defense in FBS football, 120 out of 120 in national rankings, and allowing 37 points a game. The Bears forced Collin Klein -- the Heisman frontrunner prior to this -- into three interceptions. K-State, averaging 40 points a game on offense prior to last night, came in 16 points under its average while allowing 22 more points than it had allowed to anyone this season. This is, in every sense of the word, a complete statistical aberration. Yet watching it was even stranger because after a quarter or two the game seemed to be utterly in Baylor's hands. It wasn't like Baylor pulled away thanks to a series of fluky turnovers; no, this was a dispatching, with K-State flailing away like they were Kansas -- a team Baylor beat by a not dissimilar score of 56-14 earlier this year. Now that I've said that, watch Kansas State beat Texas next week like none of this ever happened. 3. Notre Dame. Continued to add to its stellar resume by beating Wake Forest, 38-0. Wake Forest. DOMINANCE HAS RETURNED TO SOUTH BEND. You could mention that computers love Notre Dame's strength of schedule, and indeed rank it as the best in the nation. Thats bullshit. The Irish also have a brutal defense, and their slapdash offense is not too different from 50 percent of SEC offenses. Are we conflicted about Notre Dame? You bet your ass I am, since they could either be 2006 Florida, or any other contemporary Notre Dame team that finished with double-digit wins, slid into a BCS bowl, and then met hot death in front of a national television audience. Basically they are not in a conference so dont have to play in a conference championship and dont have the grind of playing a weekly schedule like most conferences do. I would just love for USC to wake the fuck up and beat Notre Dame this week. 4. Alabama. Successfully passed its leg of the SEC's SoCon challenge by annihilating the Western Carolina Catamounts 49-0. Again not saying that Bama and the SEC dont deserve a chance in the BCS championship but how the fuck do they move up in the polls when beating a shit school like this in mid November while teams with the same 1 loss lose to a team in their own conference. 5. Georgia. Got its training-wheels warmup for the Georgia Tech triple option in a 45-14 rehearsal against Georgia Southern. See above nobody should move up in the polls for beating Georgia Southern in November. 6. Ohio State. Outlasted Wisconsin 21-14 in overtime, and that shouldn't be a surprise because have you seen Bielema? His cardio needs work, bro. The Buckeyes Need only a win against Michigan to complete an undefeated season that will not count for a national title shot thanks to Gene Smith going to a Gator Bowl last year, and instead choosing to take their postseason bowl ban this year. 7. Florida. A truly unimpressive 23-0 win over Jacksonville State. 8. LSU. Fought off an Ole Miss team 41-35 in the usual carnival ride Les Miles game (the carnival ride has not been inspected in years, and spits rusty parts on bystanders on every turn, but that and the impending civil suit for injuries are just part of the fun). 9. Texas A&M. Johnny Manziel missed an XP attempt, and that is the sole fascinating note from their 47-28 scrimmage against Sam Houston State. 10. Florida State. The Black Ops uniforms for Maryland might have called up Call of Duty in your head. 11. Clemson. TAJH BOYD HAD EIGHT TOUCHDOWNS. A 62-48 win over NC State takes Clemson to 10 wins, extends a win streak to seven and puts the Tigers in line for slots in the Sugar, Fiesta or Chick-Fil-A Bowls depending on the South Carolina game and the whims of the bowl system. That's a 66 percent chance of prestige, a 33 percent chance of delicious, and a 100 percent chance of a bowl game involving at least eight points between Clemson and its opponent. 12. South Carolina. Was tied with the Wofford Terriers late into the third quarter before pulling away for a 24-7 win. 13. Oklahoma. Playing West Virginia means you have to score last. Oklahoma scored last in a 50-49 win over the Mountaineers in Morgantown despite Tavon Austin's 344 yards rushing. <---not a typo <----someone rushed for 344 yards and lost a football game <---someone actually coaches defense at West Virginia<----but not for long. 14. Stanford. The Auburn of the Pac-12 grappled Oregon to its first loss in a 17-14 quagmire. The two schools are more similar than you imagine, since they both have football teams, are referred to by farm-related nicknames, and that's it, really. 15. Oregon State. Beat Cal 62-14 in Corvallis. Please don't look at Cal football; it has turned the bed to the wall, and will face its end alone and with dignity. 16. Nebraska. A routine 38-14 gallop over Minnesota. 17. UCLA. A burly 38-28 win over the Trojans -- its first since 2006 -- also took Matt Barkley out of the game, thus making Notre Dame's path to a BCS Title game berth that much easier. P.S. Lane Kiffin did talk to the media, but if you want to imagine him leaving every game like this via helicopter and dastardly deed, then please do. Fuckers P.S. Lane Kiffin would totally do this, and Jim Mora did a really, really good job in year one at UCLA. 18. Texas. Bye week, but Mack Brown still had to spend six hours a day selling blenders on the Longhorn Network. 19. Louisiana Tech. Lost a shot at the ETERNAL WAC CHAMPIONS title by losing 48-41 to Utah State in overtime. Does hold the title of nation's worst defense, however, thanks to Baylor's sudden fit of competence in Waco. 20. Louisville. Bye week, most likely spent telling everyone that Syracuse is way, way better than you think. Isn't that right, Missouri? 21. USC. Monte Kiffin cannot return as defensive coordinator next year, but he wasn't the one calling passes on short downs when Curtis McNeal was averaging 7.7 yards a carry. 22. Rutgers. A 10-3 win over Cincinnati is a 10-3 win over Cincinnati. That makes no sense, but neither does "Rutgers should go to the Big Ten because they're New Jersey's college football team." 23. Michigan. Bye week, or played Iowa in a 42-17 rollover. Same thing. 23a. Texas Tech. Lost 59-21 to Oklahoma State in the Big 12's best game between mascots who carry multiple firearms. 25. Kent State. Avoided the curse of being a ranked MAC team by winning a thriller over Bowling Green 31-24 with a late endzone INT. "These flashes truly are golden!" said a sportswriter from the 1930s as he fell drunkenly off the back of a donkey somewhere between Bowling Green and Akron.
Tuesday's six-pack Six of the more interesting football machups this holiday weekend........ -- Stanford @ UCLA-- Both teams coming off huge wins....... -- Oregon @ Oregon State-- Best Civil War game ever? -- Notre Dame @ USC-- Tough spot for USC's freshman QB Wittek -- Raiders @ Bengals-- Carson Palmer returns to Cincinnati. -- Falcons @ Buccaneers-- Atlanta dodged a big bullet last week. -- 49ers @ Saints-- Rematch of LY's playoff game.
Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........ 13) Is it any wonder when you look at how Maryland is willing to shell out $50M to leave the ACC for the Big Dozen, that recruits/parents have their hands out during the recruiting process? That's how much money is involved in all this, yet the kids get a free college education and nothing else. The education is worth six figures, understood, but how much money is Johnny Manziel going to put into Texas A&M's coffers if he stays there four years? 12) ACC commish John Swofford has ruined his league; he had the best basketball conference, but traded that in so he could cash in on the football cash bonanza, but he whiffed on that, and now he's lost Maryland, one of the ACC's charter members. Swofford should go get Louisville/Memphis (use part of Maryland's $50M to buy them out of Big East) so at least he has a premier basketball league. 11) If you missed our man Les Miles after the Ole Miss game Saturday, check it out on YouTube; Les went all Mad Hatter in his opening statement to the press right after LSU beat the Rebels 41-35. Its classic stuff, and a big part of why we like him a lot. 10) Readinghteplay.com is an interesting website with some good knowledge on it; they report that the pointspread affects only 15-18% of NFL games; the other 82-85%, the winner covers. 9) One of the hardest things to do in coaching is to turn a losing program around; the one thing a losing team must begin to do, as simple/obvious as it sounds, is to begin winning. Effort has to be there, good practice habits help, team unity sounds great, but actions speak louder than words, and until you start beating the enemy more regularly, you're still a losing team. Instilling confidence that they can do that into a group of players takes time and often it means acquiring a lot of new players, people who have played for winning teams in the past and who expect to win. 8) Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby, who made only six of last 13 FGs, has been very good for the Pack since coming out of college (Colorado). Kicking seems to be like golf; you get the yips now and then. Crosby has built up some equity with Green Bay, but he'd be well-advised to get out of his funk fairly soon. 7) Walk-on WR AJ Barker recently quit Minnesota's football team in a dispute about how his ankle injury was treated. Not only did he quit, but the kid went public with his dealings with coach Jerry Kill—he wrote a long, spirited article that was at least a little interesting to read, even if I had never heard of the kid before yesterday. Barker had gone from walk-on to team's leading receiver, but hadn't gotten a scholarship, which i part of this story. If you like college sports, its an eye-opening story, but I also wonder what was left unsaid by the player. Two sides to every story, you know? 6) Miami Hurricanes weren't going to a good bowl this year anyway; they applied self-imposed sanctions for this year, hoping to shorten their long-term sentence from the NCAA, something Ohio State should've thought of couple years ago. 5) Linesmakers have Notre Dame -6 for their game at USC this week, with Trojans' QB Barkley (shoulder) out. Freshman QB Wittig is said to have a cannon arm, but he's a freshman QB in a very big spot. Side note: Matt Cassel of the Chiefs starts for an NFL team, but he never started a game at USC, having been Trojans' backup QB for Palmer/Leinart, so chances are this Wittig kid is very talented, just extremely raw. 4) Rob Gronkowski broke his arm Sunday while blocking for a PAT that made the score 59-24. Why is he out there at that time? Seems like an interesting question. 3) Texas lost to Chaminade in the Maui Classic, making Rick Barnes first coach to lose to the Silverswords twice in this event-- he also lost to them when he was the coach at Providence. That not good. 2) Mets drew less fans than the Reds LY; since CitiField opened in 2009, their home attendance is down 28.9%. Interesting to see what they do this offseason, to spur interest/ticket sales in an increasingly negative fanbase. 1) I'm tired of listening to people bitch about football coaches; personally, I know next-to-nothing about in-depth football strategy and I watch hundreds of games on TV. Time management and replay challenges are different, thats something that really isn't football-related, more common sense-related. Blocking schemes, passing trees, different pass defenses, its not something I'm well-versed in, and I'm guessing 90%+ of average fans aren't either, so let the coaches coach and be quiet. Guys with the most good players are winning most of the time, anyway.
College Football Week 12 Spooky, The Bad, The Good and The Ugly The week that everyone except Ryan has been waiting for is finally here. Notre Dame/USC week. I can't wait to hear Ryan's fuckin pussy whistle about how OVERRATED this game is. Wear your life preserves so you don't drown in the tears that he will most certainly shed today. This is THE greatest rivalry in all of sports and you like sperm covered turds if you don't agree. The Good Michigan's new offense - Okay...so it was technically by default and complete happenstance that Denard and Gardner spent a majority of the game on the field at the same time with Gardner taking multiple snaps at QB. But it's about fucking time it happened! Word on the street is that Denard's nerve injury is so bad he still can't grip a football. Which is good since Gardner usually only has 2 or 3 complete mental meltdowns a game trying to laser beam a pass into quintuple coverage compared to Denard's 10. This also means that Denard will be lining up how he probably should have been from the start. As an athlete playing multiple positions and not a QB. Tajh Boyd - I think JimmytheGreek wants to have unprotected butt sex with Tajh Boyd. He finds the unnecessary "H" at the end of his first name terribly sexy. Since everything else pretty much went to plan then I have no choice but to talk about Boyd and his 8 touchdowns on Saturday. Pretty gnarly is about all I have to say. You know...I really can't wait to see what NFL teams waste picks on guys like Geno Smiff and Boyd next year. All I know is that it won't be the Browns because they only waste picks on QBs every other year. This is an off year so by rule Cleveland will be blowing early picks on WRs who will be cleaning truck stop bathrooms in 4 years. The Tard Maryland to the Big Ten - I get it. You want East Coast viewers. You want a super conference. That's all fine and good but when you decide to expand the teams in a conference that is already declining and weak, you don't adopt the half retarded kid with respiratory problems and eczema from the adoption agency that's about a month away from losing it's Federal funding. The Big Ten doesn't need any more Minnesota's/Indiana's/IlliNOISES. The ones they have are already doing a marvelous job on their own of being the fucking 12 ton anchor that's sinking this ship. I just can't believe that some shithead actually had the fucking balls to say, "I have a good idea...MARYLAND!" and I'm even more befuddled that some dildo stood up next to him and said, "Yeah! He's right! MARYLAND!!" As if the nation needed any more reason to laugh at the Big Ten. The Tardest This year's National Title game - Well, all of our darkest nightmares are coming true. Notre Fucking Dame is going to play for the title. And that means that guys like my brother, Mike Golic and all those faggot losers who say Notre Dame is their "second favorite team" (get fucked all the way to Hell on that bullshit) will be insufferable twat scabs for the next decade AT LEAST! It doesn't even matter that the Irish will get anal fucked into oblivion by Alabama (most likely suitor). And they will. These fuck head fans will be more proud of just getting there than Ohio fans were after getting mud holed by Florida and LSU. What a terrible time to be alive. I'm certain the suicide rate increases this week based on this fact alone. Kansas State and Oregon - My God, K-State! At least Oregon was able to lose with some fucking dignity. But both make it here for allowing Brian Kelly a chance to get an accidental NC. The best part about K-State losing is now everyone has to fake take back the fake Heisman that was already given to the fake best player in country, Collin Klein. Everyone already should have known how much of a gutless turd this guy was based solely on his first name. All Collin's are spineless gutter whores that fold under pressure. See: Cowherd, Colin. This also further strengthens my theory that the Heisman trophy is a fucking sham and should be eliminated as an award.
great reads as usual.
Have a Happy and healthy Thanksgiving Mark. TY

BO$$, you are really a high-level troll. Respect.
The present maintainers of xorg, aren't the ones that created it.
xorg is here before windows existed.
The present xorg developers have inhereted that that it is.
You're so blind, that i'm actually spend some time to 'enlighten' you, if you're willing to see the truth:
xorg mistakes are (summarized):
-it does more than one thing (it's not just a display server)
-it uses the network for communication (every window/app knows what happens in all others)
-it has no master/root window (problems with screen savers, for instance)
-server-side decorations (less customizability for apps)
-asynconous design ('lag' effect on internet pages for instance)
Unless i forgot something, these are the problems that make xorg the mess that it is.
The current developers have inherited that and yet they still work on it and tried to make it better. But the mess is so huge, that it can be fixed without breaking everything up.
That's why wayland was created. It breaks everything up, but fixes all the mistakes.
Wayland is:
-minimal (does on thing, and does it well)
-it comunicates from server to window and vice-versa
-it has root window
-client-side decorations
-syncronous designs
You see, since wayland was created by the same heroes that maintain xorg, it has none of it's flaws!
The only 'flaw' that Mark can point out is that wayland doesn't licks canonical's ass.
So, Wayland does everything that MIR does, is usable by Canonical as it is, they just don't want to... They suffer from the 'not created by us' syndrom and they want to force everyone to use Ubuntu, since they have Steam working with them, deals with laptop makers. Ther're making the exact same monoplistic moves as M$!
Wayland is actually better than MIR in these points:
-maintains stable API
-works with any distro/DE
-is not controlled by a single company, but instead is an open project
So get your research and facts straight cause u're blind my friend!!
"I'm sick of these nobody's projects that go nowhere."
Like Linux ?
Because no company ever has got into bankruptcy, or made mistakes.
Ubuntu is mostly another one of the bunch. Most of the software on it is from this "nobody's projects".They have no interest in self destructing. The fact that Mir is controlled by a company is a plus not a minus. Finally some accountability. I'm sick of these nobody's projects that go nowhere.
So, they can see the future, since most of them are there before Canonical even exists.The only reason it works with any distro/DE is because those distros and DEs are maintained by assholes who try to sabotage Canonical.
We can say the same about X.org/Wayland maintainers on maintaining a display server compared to Canonical's folks. Truth is, Canonical's software never got into such a low level before.I also trust they know a bit more about OSes than you and have a very good reason why they created Mir and it's not because of NIH.
Popular distro != good programmers. At most, they are great at neat-picking other's software and PR, judging only by the popularity of the distro. Programming or designing software is a whole different world. A hint, most Gentoo and Arch users are programmers, and probably fairly good at it. Would you trust any of them to make a user friendly distro? Hint, they use one that isn't friendly at all. So, apples and oranges here.These guys have a really popular distro, let's give them a little credit, OK? They may know they do.
So companies like Red Hat, Intel, IBM, ... (all involved in Wayland development) are nobodys compared to Canonical?
And cause of that these distros/DEs existed before Mir, Unity and even Ubuntu...The only reason it works with any distro/DE is because those distros and DEs are maintained by assholes who try to sabotage Canonical.
How do you come to that conclusion? What OS beside Ubuntu did we see from Canonical?I also trust they know a bit more about OSes
Till now all reasons they gave have been proven to be invalid. So where are these "very good reasons" ?and have a very good reason why they created Mir
Then do your self a flavor and shut up. You still didn't take your pills, did you?I don't know
//EDIT: BTW, from your link:
Remember: They didn't plan the API as good as Wayland did but rushed it instead... And the the same guy told he thinks Wayland is re-creating the issues of X... *facepalm*"the API for the Mir Client library will always be backwards compatible"

Accessing the database using JDatabase
From Joomla! Documentation
This article or section is incomplete, which means it may be lacking information. You are welcome to assist in its completion by editing it as well. If this article or section has not been edited in several days, please consider helping complete the content.

Joomla provides a sophisticated database abstraction layer to simplify the usage for third party developers. New versions of the Joomla Platform API provide additional functionality which extends the database layer further, and includes features such as connectors to a greater variety of database servers and the query chaining to improve readability of connection code and simplify SQL coding.
Joomla can use different kinds of SQL database systems and run in a variety of environments with different table-prefixes. In addition to these functions, the class automatically creates the database connection. Besides instantiating the object you need just two lines of code to get a result from the database in a variety of formats. Using the Joomla database layer ensures a maximum of compatibility and flexibility for your extension.
The Connection
Joomla supports a generic interface for connecting to the database, hiding the intricacies of a specific database server from the Framework developer, thus making Joomla code easier to port from one platform to another.
To obtain a database connection, use the JFactory getDbo static method:
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
The getDbo method will return a reference to a high-level abstract class called JDatabaseDriver; the Joomla Framework hides the specifics of the database server, which is loaded dynamically by getDbo via Joomla's configuration file.
Alternatively, if your class inherits from the JModel (or a decendent class) getDbo method:
$db = $this->getDbo();
users should note that the JModel class has been renamed JModelLegacy and will eventually be deprecated in favour of the class JModelBase. Therefore, any Joomla 3.x core or extension code should use JFactory::getDbo() to obtain a database connection.
The Query
Joomla's database querying has changed since the new Joomla Framework was introduced "query chaining" is now the recommended method for building database queries (although string queries are still supported).
Query chaining refers to a method of connecting a number of methods, one after the other, with each method returning an object that can support the next method, improving readability and simplifying code.
To obtain a new instance of the JDatabaseQuery class we use the JDatabaseDriver getQuery method:
$db = JFactory::getDbo(); $query = $db->getQuery(true);
The JDatabaseDriver::getQuery takes an optional argument, $new, which can be true or false (the default being false).
To query our data source we can call a number of JDatabaseQuery methods; these methods encapsulate the data source's query language (in most cases SQL), hiding query-specific syntax from the developer and increasing the portability of the developer's source code.
Some of the more frequently used methods include; select, from, join, where and order. There are also methods such as insert, update and delete for modifying records in the data store. By chaining these and other method calls, you can create almost any query against your data store without compromising portability of your code.
Selecting Records from a Single Table
Below is an example of creating a database query using the JDatabaseQuery class. Using the select, from, where and order methods, we can create queries which are flexible, easily readable and portable:
// Get a db connection. $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Create a new query object. $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Select all records from the user profile table where key begins with "custom.". // Order it by the ordering field. $query->select(array('user_id', 'profile_key', 'profile_value', 'ordering')); $query->from('#__user_profiles'); $query->where('profile_key LIKE \'custom.%\''); $query->order('ordering ASC'); // Reset the query using our newly populated query object. $db->setQuery($query); // Load the results as a list of stdClass objects. $results = $db->loadObjectList();
The query can also be chained to simplify further:
$query ->select(array('user_id', 'profile_key', 'profile_value', 'ordering')) ->from('#__user_profiles') ->where('profile_key LIKE \'custom.%\'') ->order('ordering ASC');
Chaining can become useful when queries become longer and more complex.
Selecting Records from Multiple Tables
Using the JDatabaseQuery's join methods, we can select records from multiple related tables. The generic "join" method takes two arguments; the join "type" (inner, outer, left, right) and the join condition. In the following example you will notice that we can use all of the keywords we would normally use if we were writing a native SQL query, including the AS keyword for aliasing tables and the ON keyword for creating relationships between tables. Also note that the table alias is used in all methods which reference table columns (I.e. select, where, order).
// Get a db connection. $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Create a new query object. $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Select all articles for users who have a username which starts with 'a'. // Order it by the created date. $query ->select(array('a.*', 'b.username', 'b.name')) ->from('#__content AS a') ->join('INNER', '#__users AS b ON (a.created_by = b.id)') ->where('b.username LIKE \'a%\'') ->order('a.created DESC'); // Reset the query using our newly populated query object. $db->setQuery($query); // Load the results as a list of stdClass objects. $results = $db->loadObjectList();
The join method above enables us to query both the content and user tables, retrieving articles with their author details. There are also convenience methods for inner, left, right and outer joins.
We can use multiple joins to query across more than two tables:
$query ->select(array('a.*', 'b.username', 'b.name', 'c.*', 'd.*')) ->from('#__content AS a') ->join('INNER', '#__users AS b ON (a.created_by = b.id)') ->join('LEFT', '#__user_profiles AS c ON (b.id = c.user_id)') ->join('RIGHT', '#__categories AS d ON (a.catid = d.id)') ->where('b.username LIKE \'a%\'') ->order('a.created DESC');
Notice how chaining makes the source code much more readable for these longer queries.
Inserting a Record
The JDatabaseQuery class provides a number of methods for building insert queries, the most common being insert, columns and values.
// Get a db connection. $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Create a new query object. $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Insert columns. $columns = array('user_id', 'profile_key', 'profile_value', 'ordering'); // Insert values. $values = array(1001, $db->quote('custom.message'), $db->quote('Inserting a record using insert()'), 1); // Prepare the insert query. $query ->insert($db->quoteName('#__user_profiles')) ->columns($db->quoteName($columns)) ->values(implode(',', $values)); // Reset the query using our newly populated query object. $db->setQuery($query);
Since Joomla 3.0 there has been a change in how the Joomla database class executes a query.
When executing a query in the Joomla Framework 11.4 we use the JDatabase's query method:
try { // Execute the query in Joomla 2.5. $result = $db->query(); } catch (Exception $e) { // catch any database errors. }
For Joomla Framework 12.1 and higher, we use the JDatabaseDriver's execute method:
try { // Execute the query in Joomla 3.0. $result = $db->execute(); } catch (Exception $e) { // catch any database errors. }
Since the phase out of PHP 4.x support, PHP's exception model has been widely implemented in the Joomla Framework. Therefore, we can wrap our database execution in a try...catch block to catch any unexpected database errors that may arise. Any database-specific errors will be thrown using an instance of the JDatabaseException class although it is best practice to catch the generic Exception object from which JDatabaseException inherits.

Do you want to show off your décolletage but are afraid of looking too sexy? Well, we have a few tips that are sure to flatter your small frame, while still looking ladyike. Glee star, Lea Michele, is a pro when it comes to showing off her petite breasts in a classy manner.
Balance Out Skin with Fabric
Try wearing a dress with long sleeves or a longer hemline to balance skin vs. dress ratio. This is an important thing to keep in mind with an ultra-sexy neckline. Doing so indicates the focus is on showing off one part of the body, not everything.
Add a Feminine Touch
Embellishments like a pop of color, lace lining, or sequins are a super fab way to keep the attention primarily on the garment, and not the "girls." You can also try accessorizing with a belt or chunky necklace too. These are ways to add a sweet, more modest slant to this otherwise sexy look.
The Little Bra Company
Deep plunging necklines were made for small breasts! Women with petite busts can wear lower cut tops without having to worry about showing too much. Still, the point of these dresses is to show off a little and that is where The Little Bra Company can help you show off just the right amount. The key to looking good in a deep-plunge neckline is to have shape and cleavage where the focus is. The Little Bra Company's small bras were made especially for smaller-chested women and women with petite frames. Therefore, the fit of The Little Bra Company's bras, and their strategically-placed contoured push-up padding gives wearers a natural-looking curve and oomph in all the right places. Try The Little Bra Company's "Lucia" and "Angela" bras for those deep-V outfits. To purchase "Lucia" or "Angela,"or any of our other small bras, please visit: http://www.thelittlebracompany.com/
Use Fashion Tape if Necessary
The best general rule of thumb is that you never, ever want to feel like you could have a wardrobe malfunction at any moment. Therefore, give yourself the comfort of keeping the dress in place by applying fashion tape before you leave the house.
So next time you want to show off your cleavage, think about Lea Michele; it's not the amount you present, it's how your presentation enhances your overall look.
Hey Fans!
Even though the summer season is coming to an end, it isn't too late to get in shape and lose weight. If you are one of the 50 percent of women in the United States classified as petite – being 5'4″ or under – you may be facing some unique challenges when trying to lose weight that other women may or may not possess.
In his new book "The Petite Advantage Diet" fitness expert Jim Karas attempts to help us petite women understand why regular diets don't work for us. We no longer need to feel frustration wondering why our taller girlfriends are dropping the pounds more quickly than us! Here are 5 of the tips Jim Karas shares in his dieting book:
1) Allow Yourself to Indulge in Certain Carbs
People forget that carbohydrates are not just breads and pasta, but items like fruits and vegetables too. Healthy carbs, especially those with high water content, are needed to help people stay full and lean in the midsection.
2) Keep Track of Your Calories
Jim Karas estimates that women with petite frames who overeat – even by as few as 28 calories a day - will gain 30 pounds over the course of one decade! So for example: a 45-year-old woman who weighs 160 pounds and is 5'9," can eat approximately 2,013 calories per day to maintain her weight. A petite, 5'3″ woman of the same weighing, 160 pounds, and same age, 45-years-old, would only be able to consume 1,973 per day without gaining weight.
Look at it this way, if the petite woman were to take in those extra 40 calories per day, she'd gain 4.2 pounds of fat each year! And if you multiply that by 10, that would mean 42 pounds each decade, and an extra 128 pounds over the course of 30 years! So not fair! But that's just Mother Nature, I suppose.
3) Eat High-Calorie Foods and High-Fat Foods Sparingly
According to Jim Karas, petite women should watch out for three foods in particular when counting their calories: 1) olive oil, 2) avocado and 3) juice. Just one tablespoon of olive oil, for instance, contains 120 calories and is 100 percent fat. Therefore, Karas recommends using it sparingly, no more than one serving per day. Juice, meanwhile, has 25 percent more calories than soda and twice as many calories as liquid sports drinks, so petite women should watch their intake. Commercial juice products are also pasteurized, which kills valuable nutrients and vitamins.
4) Swap Your Meals
Eaters in the U.S. typically start the day with their smallest meal, breakfast, and then work their way up to the largest, dinner. However, Jim Karas says that petite woman in particular should do just the opposite. To start off, he recommends flipping breakfast and lunch servings in order to better balance the day calorie-wise.
5) Skip the Treadmill and Pick Up the Weights
Karas says cardio can actually cause petite women to gain weight. This is because it increases their appetites, and since their frames are small there isn't as much "room" to store the food. Instead, petite women should focus on strength training. Strength training will fulfill their cardio needs while also increasing their caloric burn. This will enhance their posture by strengthening and flattening their core muscles.

Hey Fans!
Who says a little thing like being 5'1" has to come between you and looking like a sky-high supermodel? Certainly not Kristen Bell! One of our favorite petite actresses, Kristen Bell, looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet Tuesday night for the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie "Hit & Run."
The petite starlet rocked the red carpet in a very chic black jumpsuit by designer Jenny Packham. Is it just us, or does Kristin's small frame look incredibly leggy here? She reminded us of a few fashion tricks petite women can use to give the illusion that we are taller than 5'4." The jumpsuit she selected for the event is a great alternative, opposed to the ever-popular evening dress, for short gals like us. But there are also a few more reasons why this particular jumpsuit is especially flattering:
Choose bottoms that ALMOST hit the floor.
Pair a long, wide-legged pant with a pair of high heels or platforms—you know, the ones with the hidden extra inches! When the pants drape over your shoes it will look as if those extra inches are just part of your legs. If the pants have a high waist, that is even better!
Try out a deep plunging neckline.
A deep neckline, like Kristen Bell has on, will draw your eye upward. When eyes are looking up, it will make the distance between your face and your torso seem much longer.
When rocking a deep plunging neckline, The Little Bra Company recommends our best-selling small bra, Lucia. Lucia, the must-have little push-up bra for every petite woman's closet. With her flattering, cleavage- enhancing, deep-plunge style, and convertible straps, Lucia will go perfect with virtually any day or night time outfit. The lace is so pretty you won't mind letting it peek through to decorate your décolletage. She comes in 8 signature colors, including black and nude as well as a luscious red; but this spring, The Little Bra Company introduced little bra Lucia in two BRAND NEW fashion color combinations: geranium/nude and hyacinth/mink. These bright and flirty colors will make every spring outfit more fun! To purchase the Lucia small bra and thong/boyshort set, please visit: http://bit.ly/RiAGnr
Go monotonous.
You already know that black is practically magic when it comes to sveltifying and lengthening, but wearing another dark color head-to-toe will do the trick as well. Trying dark shades like navy, charcoal, eggplant, or this season's must-have burgundy will also have the same effect.
Hey Fans!
In 2008, archaeologists from Europe discovered 600-year-old undergarments. Further research, testing, and carbon dating were required to ensure the assorted lingerie was legit, and as of a couple days ago, these tests were completed. Historians documented early examples of bras back to the 1800s. However, Austrian archaeologists at the University of Innsbruck said Wednesday that these particular brassieres date back to the 1400s! That makes their use much earlier than previously thought!
"We didn't believe it ourselves," Beatrix Nutz, the archaeologist responsible for the discovery, told The Associated Press. "From what we knew, there was no such thing as bra-like garments in the 15th century."
The four linen bras were discovered in an Austrian castle. Some of these pieces look almost exactly like modern-day bras. Researchers now say they have early undergarments supporting the claim that the modern-day bra may actually have its roots in the Middle Ages.
The four bras were decorated with a frilly lace. Hooray for these medieval maidens for supporting their breasts by wearing a bra, and looking good while doing it!
Hey Fans!
In spirit of the 2012 London Olympic Games, The Little Bra Company would like to honor and appreciate some of the hottest petite women in all different types of sports!
Danica Patrick (Height: 5'2")
This sexy race car driver doesn't need size to conquer her field. Patrick, known as the face model for Go Daddy, is just as skilled on the track as she is off. Her work in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and FHM has garnered consistent attention.
Alicia Sacramone (Height: 5'1")
This American began her artistic gymnastic career at the tender age of 8. What she didn't predict was that she would finish growing when she reached the height of an 8-year-old boy. Alicia has ten gymnastics world championship gold medals. Sacramone clearly never let her doubters stand in her way.
Kelly Kelly (Height 5'4")
Working for WWE on its Raw brand, this professional wrestler and diva has made quite the career for herself. A Divas champion in her rookie year, Kelly Kelly has also found a niche in modeling. She has appeared in FHM Online and was once ranked No. 82 on Maxim's Hot 100.
Heather Mitts (Height: 5'4.5")
Currently a defender in the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) league, Mitts is often placed in the upper echelon of sexy female athletes. A two-time Olympic gold medalist and a member of the United States women's national team, she has always been used to pressure, considering her years at the University of Florida. Pressure from fans to pose more may also be in high demand.
Elena Reid (Height: 5'2")
This American boxer can be seen as the female version of Manny Pacquiao. While her nickname is "Baby Doll," Elena is no lightweight. 19-6 as a boxer and 4-1 as a mixed martial artist just about says everything!
Bia and Branca Feres (Heights: 5'3")
Bia and Branca Feres are Brazilian synchronized swimmers. These twins have been featured on the cover of Spanish-language magazine VIP after starting their swimming careers at the age of seven!
All athletes deserve the best support when it comes to sports bras, even if you wear a smaller bra size. If you are a petite athlete, and want a petite sports bra that won't give you a "strapped down" look, your search is over! The Little Bra Company would love to recommend our very first petite sports bra, Elizabeth! Elizabeth is a specially engineered sports bra with light padding and structured seaming. She will support and give your breasts a shapelier silhouette, leaving you feeling sexy while you're working it out! Elizabeth is a great small bra for petite women during their pregnancy, or just anytime you want to wear a wireless bra. There are no wires, clasps or adjustors on Elizabeth; she is a pull-over little bra.
The Elizabeth petite sports bra is available in all 15 of our specialty small bra sizes!
One thing all of these petite athletes have in common is that no matter what their height is, they are confident and always stand tall. The Little Bra Company offers intimate apparel that will enhance and give shape to women with a smaller frame. Be a proud petite because "good things do come in small packages!"®
Hey Fans!
With or without that extra "oomph," we find that smaller-busted and petite woman are sexy and feminine! After all, having self-confidence and making the most of what you've got is what makes them most beautiful. That's why The Little Bra Company made a list of 5 reasons why you should LOVE your small breasts!
#1: There are a lot more fashionable options out there that fit women with smaller breasts. For example, you can wear something really low-cut without revealing too much. However, if there is ever an outfit that you can't quite fill out properly, you've always got The Little Bra Company here to help!
#2: Smaller breasts stay perkier for longer. Women with larger breasts tend to sag sooner due to that darned thing called gravity. When I was a teenager, I longed for my breasts to grow into the C and D cup bras many of my friends were already wearing. However, my good friend's mother reassured. She told me that when we got older, the girls I envied would be the ones who wished they had my smaller breasts because theirs would have already gone downhill. It's true, mothers are always right!
#3: Exercise is a lot easier for women with smaller breasts, especially if you have a good looking supportive bra like The Little Bra Company's "Elizabeth" bra. Without larger breasts in the way of sprints and chatarangas, there's really no excuse why we shouldn't get active.
#4: The Little Bra Company! Made just for smaller-proportioned women, The Little Bra Company has developed an entire intimate apparel wardrobe that is stylish, functional, and comfortable. If you are a size:
…it's your' lucky day! We've got all kinds of bra styles you'll be sure to love!
#5: You have less risk for back problems. Some women suffer severe pain, deteriorating posture, and are at risk for spinal deformity and other repetitive stress injuries to the shoulders and upper extremities due to their proportionately large breasts. Although you have less risk for back problems, keep your breasts healthy with monthly breast self-exams. It's easy! Here's a link on how-to for your convenience: http://www.webmd.com/breast-cancer/guide/breast-self-exam
Big or small, breasts are awesome! No matter what size you are, your breasts are an important part of your body, mind and spirit. Therefore, keep them perky and dressed with the right-fitting bra.
Hey Fans!

PHILADELPHIA - Howie Roseman had just come back into the building after the workout of local draft hopefuls the other day when the Philadelphia Eagles' general manager heard the thumping bass of hip-hop music coming from down the hall.
Roseman walked into the auditorium, where he found special teams coordinator Dave Fipp.
"Welcome to my meeting room," Fipp yelled over the music to Roseman. "I'm playing music because I want to get their neurological pathways open in the morning to get them going."
There's a feeling-out period occurring in Philly this week, with the start of offseason workouts bringing together new coach Chip Kelly and his staff with a roster of returning players and veteran additions who aren't exactly used to the techniques and philosophies they've already begun to encounter.
By NFL standards, Kelly is a mad scientist whose up-tempo, read-option schemes could revolutionize a league that's already been influenced by the offense he ran at Oregon on his way to a 45-7 record over four seasons.
Kelly is also a program-builder and motivator whose forward-thinking ways are evident everywhere, from his fast-paced practices to his hiring of a "sports science coordinator" to work along with the team's strength coach.
Already, even without any on-field work, the Eagles' players can sense the pace this coaching staff will set.
"I mean, the workout today was up-tempo, a lot of drills and different stuff we don't normally do. I'm sure it's going to be real up-tempo," left tackle Jason Peters said. "They just got after us. Everything is just quick, a lot of reps, quick pace ... 40 (yard dash), hurdles, ladders, stuff like that. Working the quick feet, the quick movements, the up-tempo pace, that's the stuff we worked on today."
Same goes for the mental part of learning a non-traditional offense. So they'd better have those neurological pathways open.
"First day, the team meeting, you could sense the urgency," wide receiver DeSean Jackson said. "'This is what it's going to be and it's on you guys to really get the information, dissect it and make the change.'"
Part of the reasoning is getting the players in shape to run the offense at Kelly's preferred pace. But there might also be another agenda at play in the next few weeks. Like any new coach, Kelly might be looking to see which players are going to wilt or look at the coaches' techniques with a skeptical eye and which ones are going to buy in completely.
"That's really a good question," Jackson said. "He's going to do what he needs to do to figure out who's going to be his guy, who's going to be the person he can trust and count on. He probably is doing certain things to test guys and see how they react or what they'll do.
"But me, I'm that type of guy, I just like to go on the run. Whatever's thrown at me I'm going to adjust."
None of this is to say the approach Kelly and his staff will take is any better than former coach Andy Reid's. In his 14 years in Philly, Reid had only three losing seasons.
And it's not to say Kelly's staff is better than the rest of the NFL. Kelly is still five months away from coaching his first NFL game.
It's just to illustrate Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie wanted a coach who's ahead of the curve. With every thump of the bass from the music that rattles the walls of the Eagles' auditorium - and, by the way, Roseman's office on the second floor - the two will know they've found one.
"From my perspective, it's certainly exciting," Roseman said. "But you're trying to win games and anything you think can help you win games, that's the priority.
"To be able to find that kind of energy is hard, and we're excited about it."
