The health benefits of being active far outweigh any risks. But that doesn't mean there are no risks. For an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or anyone just starting out on a fitness plan, physical activity does increase the risk of injury. (1) Don't let that stop you from becoming more active, though: Moderate intensity activity is generally very safe for most people, even people who have not previously been active. And you can lower your injury risk by taking a few simple precautions.
What kind of injuries can result from physical activity? Muscle, joint, and bone problems are the most common. (2) In hot weather or during long, intense workouts, dehydration can be a concern. In very rare cases, vigorous physical activity may lead to a heart attack or sudden death. Keep in mind, though, that active people have an overall lower risk of serious or fatal heart problems than inactive people. If you are sedentary, starting with activities that require a light-to-moderate effort, such as walking, and increasing your activity gradually can be a safe way to get moving.
The more fit you are, the lower your risk of getting injured. (1) The best way to get fit is to make physical activity a routine part of your day and week—and to be safe about how you do it.
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans 2008 offers these tips for staying safe while being active: (1)
1. Pick activities that match your fitness level.
Some activities are riskier than others, especially if you're not in shape. The safest route? Choose activities that are moderate in intensity; have less of an impact on your muscles, bones, and joints (for example, walking instead of running); and don't involve planned contact or collisions with other people or objects (for example, tennis or golf instead of volleyball or hockey). Several popular activities have low injury rates:
- Walking for exercise
- Gardening and yard work
- Bicycling or riding an exercise bike
- Dancing
- Swimming
2. Increase activity gradually.
Most of us need to become more active. As we increase our activity, though, the larger the increase over our usual activity level, the greater the chance of injury. Gradually upping your physical activity over time can help lower your injury risk, regardless of how active you are now. If you're currently sedentary and looking to add more activity to your day, it's especially important to "start low and go slow." There's no hard and fast rule as to what constitutes a gradual increase. (2) Trainers typically recommend increasing the length and number of activity sessions before increasing intensity. If you usually spend 20 minutes on the stationary bike twice a week, for example, increase to 22 minutes, then 24 minutes. Slowly add more sessions during the week, until you are meeting the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommendations. (1) Read more about exercise guidelines for children, adults, and older adults.
3. Protect yourself.
A few common-sense precautions can help you stay safe:
- Choose the right equipment: If you're cycling, wear a bike helmet. If you're going out for a walk, pull on a well-fitting pair of sneakers instead of a pair of flip flops.
- Find a safe place to work out: Seek out streets that have sidewalks or bicycle lanes. Play basketball on well-maintained courts.
- Pay attention to the weather: In the middle of a heat wave, exercise in the morning when it's cooler out, exercise indoors, or hit the swimming pool instead of the tennis court.
4.Talk to your doctor if you have a chronic condition or if you are pregnant.
Physical activity can help people manage diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic conditions, as long as the activities they choose match their fitness level and abilities. If you have one of these conditions or another chronic condition, your doctor can help you come up with an activity plan that's safe for you. Pregnant women should also talk to their health care providers about the safest activity options during pregnancy and after having a baby.

Hopefully we can get the t-pads in before the tourney.We did get a good jump on 9 of the holes Sunday
I hope we can too! All I have to say its going to be sweet with these new tee pads!Originally Posted by jamesmcc
I've never played in a tournament before or been a pdga member, I want to play tomorrow with a friend in a similar situation as mine. Just wondering if that puts me in the Men's Rec division and if so are there any prizes or discs you get for winning that division. Also what is a Rec player likely to shoot at Buffalo Trace. On a good day playing, playing all par 3's, we usually shoot anywhere from 2-under to 5-over at Buffalo. Just curious because we would both like to get a feel for what tournament frolf is all about. And do we need to register online or can we sign up tomorrow morning when we get there? thanks
Two down from the long pads is darn good. I don't think Buffalo Trace is the kind of course a Rec player will shoot under par at because the birdies can be really tough to come by. But there's nothing wrong with playing Rec your first tournament. If you play well and blow away the field, then you'll know to move up to Intermediate for your next tournament. Discs are awarded to those that finish in roughly the top half of their division.
I believe we're having another work day next Sunday the 28th at Buffalo Trace. We'll be pouring the concrete on 9 pads using the mixer hitched to the back of a tractor so the amount of physical labor will be pretty low. I'm sure we'll play a round of doubles out there like we did last time. You should come out and join us; we had a great time at our last work day. I know that sounds like a contradiction using "work day" and "great time" together, but two tractors did all the work for us.
Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves. Carl Sagan
If I'm reading this correct are you thinking the tournament is tomorrow? If so it isn't until July 18th. There is a tournament tomorrow though at Meade/Olin Park in Brandenburg.Originally Posted by NPope0002
yeah i definetely misread the dates for the tournament. I'm glad it isn't until July though because I have about 6 other guys I play with that want to come out and play in their first tournament at Buffalo. Hopefully we'll be able to get some practice in out there and make a decent showing on the 18th.
I hope to see ya out there! I hope you didn't make a trip out and we wasn't there.Originally Posted by NPope0002
Hey everyone. I am also a beginner, but would like to be in the tourney just for experience. Will all of the holes be regarded as par 3s, regardless of size?
Basically you want to finish with the fewest throws so yeah everything will be regarded as par 3 it makes it easier to add up everything too.Originally Posted by benbobbins

Comments about Charge Bucket Saddle:
I love this saddle. It closely resembles the classic Selle Italia Turbo saddle and can be had at a much cheaper price. It is pretty firm, but I find this makes it much more comfortable for longer rides. The fit is perfect for me and I love the vintage look with out the $80 authentic Turbo price tag.
I don't care for the "Bucket" logos on the back but they can be rubbed off relatively easily. This is a fantastic saddle for the price and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a more classic style of saddle.

Comments about Charge Bucket Saddle:
Perfect saddle for my 10 year old daughter's bicycle. Goes well with her pink tires. Makes her ride more.
Best Uses
Comments about Charge Bucket Saddle:
I purchased this saddle looking for a cheaper alternative to the classic Selle Italia Turbo. While this saddle certainly looks like the retro-grouch favorite, the foam is very hard and doesn't have much give. Plus, the perforated "leather" allows any precipitation to soak into the foam. Bring a plastic baggie with you if you expect to get caught in the rain!

Today I was teaching a voice lesson at the Christian university where I work. We were working on "My Lord, What a Morning!" - a well-known spiritual. I was trying to get my student to be expressive, so I urged him to consider the words - the trumpet sounding, the "nations under ground" rising to be judged, the stars falling as the world is destroyed, the yearning to be at right hand of God, etc. He asked me "Are you a Christian?" Without delay I answered "No." Without even missing a beat he said "Why not?"
That really surprised me. Not the question itself, but the attitude that being a Christian is the default, and to not be a Christian one must have a really good reason. It's almost as if he thinks that one is a Christian or one is a rebel against Christianity. Or maybe I am over-thinking this…
He said that from the way I speak I could be a preacher - since clearly I understand the Christian dogma. And so I guess maybe he is thinking that it would be one thing if I just had not spent much time thinking about Jesus or if I were Jewish or a Muslim or something. But I understand it - so why I is it that I am not a Christian? Have I deliberately turned away from Christianity?
I have worked with this young man for several years. I have genuine affection for him and his talent. It saddens me that he might think that after I die God will send me to damnation, where I will be incinerated and destroyed in the lake of fire. Does he really think I deserve that?
Anyway, if you were in my position, what would you have answered? I did not want to get into a discussion with him about my personal beliefs, which could lead to my losing my job. So I just told him that I am not a Christian for several reasons, but that I find Christianity fascinating and that I know my stuff (meaning, I know what Christians believe). On the way home I kicked myself for not answering his question with "Why aren't you a Muslim?" How would you have answered his question? Once he graduates, I will have this conversation with him. So, I'd appreciate ideas on what to say to him. Thanks.

SUFFOLK-- Being a florist is a colorful business and Joe's first job at Johnson's Gardens was helping get hundreds of flower arrangements in the van.
During this busy time there were five people arranging inside arranging the beautiful flowers.
'It's a lot of work cause people want certain things and you have to get it up to their expectations,' said Jennifer Cobb.
Tim Johnson is the owner and says Valentine's Day is hectic. 'When you come in here on Valentine's Day itself, we are going to give you 40 vases and tell you we need 40 dozen roses and you have 4 hours.' Joe asked if that really happens. 'Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah,' said Johnson.
It was Tim's parents that started this operation 50 years ago on Route 58. Tim and his wife Helen are carrying on the tradition and they have three sons who help out on Valentine's Day.
'I think it's actually busier the day before. The day of is mostly spent worrying about the deliveries.' said Helen.
So how was Joe at arranging flowers?
'I think you're trainable Joe. I think we could teach you. I don't know about the speed aspect though. We might have to pick up the speed a little bit, but other than that, I think you're very capable,' Tim concluded.

The Cabinet Building was designed in 1837 by an officer of the Royal Engineers then serving in Bermuda.
When it was first opened in 1884, it was known as "The Public Building" and housed the Customs and Treasury Departments and the Bermuda Library on the ground floor with the Council Room and the Secretariat on the upper.
It has remained the home of the Council and the Secretariat ever since, with the exception of a period
of nine years (1969‑1977) when the Executive Council was based in offices on the second floor of the General Post Office at Church and Parliament Streets.
Entering the Entrance Hall, the doors are of Bermuda cedar. Some of the cedar was given to the Cabinet Building by the Consul General of the United States and some of the cedar was from the O1d Bus Garage on East Broadway. These doors were installed in 1989, completing the renovations to the ground floor of the Cabinet Building.
There is a large portrait above the stairs, facing down into the Entrance Hall, which is that of Queen Victoria. This is a copy an original portrait which hangs in St James' Palace, London and is on loan from the St. George's Foundation of New York. It shows the young Queen at the beginning of her reign, shortly after her marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe‑Coburg-Gotha.
In the Upper‑Hall, over the stairs, note should be taken of the portrait of Sir Thomas Gates who was with Admiral Sir George Somers in the Sea Venture in 1609.
In the Upper-Hall, facing the stairs is a portrait of William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke; the original, painted in 1627 for King Charles I, hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
To the right is a portrait of Sir Edwin Sandys, a member of the Bermuda Company during the early years of colonization.
Lord Sandys, a descendant of Sir Edwin, had two copies made of the original portrait and in 1959 kindly presented one to Bermuda and the other to the House of Burgesses in Richmond, Virginia, to mark the 350th anniversary of the settling of both Bermuda and the Virginia Colony.
From the large casement window in the Upper Hall a pleasant view of Hamilton Harbour can be seen which, from April to November each year, includes cruise ships alongside Front Street.
Either side of the casement window are portraits of King George III (1760‑1820) and Queen Charlotte these are believed to be the works of Allan Ramsay, Court Painter (1713 ‑1784). It was the taxation policy of George III and his Minister, Lord North that so exasperated the North American colonists that on 4th July, 1776, they proclaimed their independence from Great Britain.
To the left of the door leading into the Senate Chamber is a portrait of Sir Francis Forbes who enjoyed a successful career in the legal profession and, moving to the Southern Hemisphere, served as a Chief Justice in New South Wales.

Comments about Giant Bicycles Giant Control Tower 2 HP/HV Floor Pump:
This is a great pump. High volume feature was very useful while setting up my ride for tubeless. Several people mentioned I may need to use a compressor to inflate my tires and set the bead when I switched to tubeless, but I was able to get a good seal just with this Giant pump - no help from a compressor.
The inflator head works great and seals effectively on presta stems while I am pumping up my tires. No leaks, high quality.

Sustainability is a principle in which humans can live in harmony with nature and fulfill social and economic responsibility. Measures in sustainability can take the form of green transportation, economic development, biodegradable packaging, reducing use of natural resources, and impact of carbon emissions.
Packaging, for example, is all around us — different types of plastics, paper, glass, metal and other materials help contain innumerable products and substances. Unfortunately, much of this packaging is considered disposable, and even if it's recyclable, it often doesn't end up recycled. Additionally, some of the materials used in packaging contain harmful elements (specifically plastics). Many companies have worked to provide eco-friendlier packaging, which helps reduce waste, improve efficiency and prevent exposure to chemicals.
Susbainability is a delicate balance between ensuring current and future generations have the food, water and materials they need, without irreparably depleting natural and human resources. (Photo: Flickr)

I figured, since the normal pictures thread is in the stompbox forum, we needed a place to put pics of all of our.. off-topic electronics projects.
Amplifiers, guitars, test equipment, weird gadgetry... you name it.
All the posts in the "Pictures!" thread that add "I know this is off topic, but here's my..." kind of started to irk me

Absolutely, it's a cinch to use, just bite the bullet and dip into your wallet…

This past weekend saw some big victories at the Windhoek schools tournament.
Click here for more schools stories
Paarl Boys' have been playing some superb rugby and were victors against tournament hosts Windhoek Gimnasium on Thursday, thrashing them 50-0. Saturday saw Boys' High annihilate Elnatan 77-3, with Gavin Haupfleish maintaining his sublime early season form ( he contributed 20 points with the boot).
Grey Bloem turned in another strong performance to thrash Outeniqua 41-0. This Friday sees the top two schools in the country – Grey Bloem and Paarl Boys' – face off against one another in Bloemfontein. Paarl Boys' have only lost once this season (to Affies 30-15) while Grey are unbeaten.
Marlow Agricultural continued their good form and defeated Queen's College 21-17 at the Rec in Queenstown last week, after leading 14-3 at the break. Queen's put in a strong second-half display and almost snatched victory at the death but were denied by some heroic Marlow defence.
Meanwhile, Grey PE held off a spirited Wynberg side to win 10-3 in Cape Town on Friday, with Siya Kolisi scoring the only try of the game.
Affies gave Jeppe a rugby lesson, winning 65-6 after leading 34-6 at the break. The Pretoria-based school scored five tries, with their backs running Jeppe to pieces (winger Ruhan van der Westhuisen grabbed a double). Affies face off against bitter rivals Pretoria Boys' this weekend and will be looking to turn the tables after last year's humiliating defeat.
Glenwood have reached the semi-finals of the Sanix World Rugby Youth Invitational Tournament where they will play against Lycée de Borda from Dax in France. De La Salle College from Auckland will be Glenwood's biggest threat and the two schools are likely to meet in the final. Glenwood beat Josho Gakuen High 29-17 in the quarter-final.

Budget gap threatens work of Sarvey wildlife center
Sarvey faces shortfall as busy summer season nears

Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Freedom, a bald eagle, screeches at visitors Monday afternoon at the Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington.
The bird survived but wouldn't make it if released into the wild. Still, it's mostly healthy and spent the past six months at the center, located between Arlington and Granite Falls, until a permanent home could be found. The bird soon will be headed to a natural history museum in Oregon.
While Sarvey has received much of its publicity for caring for the more glamorous species such as eagles, hawks, owls, cougars and coyotes, most of the 3,500 animals brought through its doors every year are the little ones -- small birds, squirrels, rabbits and opossums. None is turned away.
Caring for those critters could be more challenging in the coming months. The nonprofit operation's donations are down and the center is falling well short of breaking even, director Suzanne West said.
The busy summer season is coming -- that's when the babies start rolling in -- and the center's population swells.
While about 50 animals are currently housed at the center, that number can balloon to 500 at any one time in the summer, staff members say.
"Our patient count is constantly changing," said Mark Collins, the center's assistant clinic manager.
West just recently had to lay off a couple of members of the paid staff, which now numbers 10, she said. Volunteers are a big help, and the center has about 80 to 100 at any one time.
Expenses, however, are high. The animals require special food -- venison, quail, rodents, fish and worms, for example, depending on the species. The center spends more than $50,000 per year on food.*
The animals can't be fed store-bought meat because of the high fat content and added hormones, Collins said.
The food needs to support the goal of rehabilitating the animals so they can return to the wild, West said.
"We try to feed them as close to what they eat in the wild as possible," she said.
The center's total budget is about $450,000 per year. In addition to food, other expenses include medical bills, transportation, fuel, utilities and salaries.
Right now, the center is about $95,000 in the red, West said. One regular, major donor, a private foundation, has cut back recently because of its financial situation, West said.
The Sarvey Wildlife Center has been caring for injured and orphaned wild animals for 30 years. The wooden buildings on the five-acre property are showing wear and some will need to be replaced soon, West said.
Many of the center's permanent residents -- including Athena the great horned owl and Baxter the bobcat -- live in a wooden, barnlike structure where tarps form some of the walls.
These animals -- one of the better known is a bald eage, Freedom -- are healthy but can't be returned to the wild, so they serve an educational purpose and often are taken out to events at schools or other locations.
Of the 3,500 animals brought to the center every year, about 1,300 are dead on arrival, West said. Some of the others have to be euthanized or are transferred to other facilities.
The center rehabilitated and returned 982 animals to the wild last year, according to West -- roughly in keeping with the center's success rate over the years of about 55 precent to 65 percent of the animals that are treated.
Saving the animals not only gives them a new lease on life, it's therapeutic for the people who report them or bring them in to the center, West said.
A majority of the injuries or displacement experienced by the animals are caused by humans.
"People dig up a tree and realize there was a nest of bunnies there," West said.
One man hit a barred owl with his car but didn't know it until he got home and found that it had fallen out of the front grill. He brought the owl to Sarvey and they were able to save and release it.
"It's just very rewarding to take an animal that has somehow met with some human calamity and change the circumstances for it so it can be rehabilitated and released," West said. "You're giving it another chance."

How the plagarism can hit the website and lower the rank of the website?
How the plagarism can hit the website and lower the rank of the website?
Google panda filter out duplicate web content, it give more credit to original content
My English teacher always told me..if you have to ask if you plagarized, then you problably did. LOL
Plagiarism basically means to take peoples ideas and words and also using them and also giving credit give to those persons who thought about them. If you plagiarize you are kidnapping and stealing others hard work and intellectual property. It is academic and public dishonesty. You wouldnt want someone stealing your hard work, intentionally or even unintentionally.
As patrick have said, search engines nowadays are much more intelligent when it comes to duplicate content. They rank sites which copies content from other sites lower than those that have original content.
But, here where I'm confused it. How can the search engines tell which site have posted the original and which site posted a duplicate?
Plagiarism and Duplicate content is almost similar, but are totally different in terms of usage, IMO.
Plagiarism maybe the act of getting the thought of certain publications and taking it as your own, which is not necessarily copying the publications' content, but only the IDEA and the THOUGHT. More like spinning an article to get a unique one for yourself.
While Duplicate content is the literal act of copying others' work or content and owning it or using it without proper appropriation or credit to the original publication or author of the content.
Well it's better if you have a unique article rather than a copy of something. People don't really like searching and opening a lot of websites then finding them to have the same content. It will only bounce.
Plagiarism is placed in dictionaries as the "wrongful appropriation," "close replica," or "purloining and publication" of another writer's "language, thoughts, thoughts, or movement," and the manifestation of them as your own unique work

Plagiarism is imitating someone's creation, such as another author's literary work, language, words, thoughts, expressions or ideas, and presenting it as one's original work. This practice is immoral and can lead to copyright infringement.
Last edited by James Greg; Thu 15th Mar 2012 at 07:11. Reason: Promotional link removed
As per my thinking plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward. It is not appropriate for website in terms of ethical SEO.
Through my understanding plagiarism as softwares analyze it is having duplicate content in your work. If you write an article but you cite a phrase in exactly the same words (copy & paste) from the source used, it will be marked as plagiarism. No matter how much credit you give for citing the source, the software is blind and only follows a set pattern. To avoid plagiarism re-phrase the content you are intending to use.
You are right GekiDen.
Search Engine will consider that content unique which will be cached first.
I think that won't work anymore in Google panda.

Written by John Clifford on 01/20/2009
North practice began with the same format and routine of drills – OL working in pairs with blocking pads, nothing noteworthy in there until they get working to a point when guys want to fight each other.
Further up the field, the QBs are trying to make an NFL throw to WRs running deeper outs, with the coaches emphasizing the cut, losing the DB and not losing any speed into, and out of the cut and after the catch – as common and important as any drill WRs see during Senior Bowl week – can they run routes? Are they coachable in quickly correcting their route running? Here it was clear that Derrick Williams possessed superior next level skills compared to most others. Barden's size and technique caused him to lag behind, rounding the route, unable to release with speed. Foster needed to improve, demonstrating a weak cut. In this area, Williams and Robiskie showed the most NFL polish.
Switching gears back to the OL, they were ready to do battle one-on-one. It began with Oklahoma's massive LT Phil Loadholt, an immovable object in his 2 reps against Illinois DE Will Davis. Next up, Kraig Urbik from Wisconsin won back-to-back battles against Mizzou's Ziggy Hood. Holding was all Cal's interior lineman Alex Mack could do to B.C. DL B.J. Raji and it wasn't nearly enough and Raji still pushed him back into the pocket. Small school standouts William Beatty (OL from UConn) and Larry English (DE from Northern Illinois) battled to a draw, but it was a first clear look at English's speed – something to keep an eye on. Illini lineman Xavier Fulton held up to Big-10 rival Michigan's DE Tim Jamison on consecutive plays. The rather calm and routine flow was broken up by the intense pass rush of Iowa's Mitch King, smoking Cincinnati's Trevor Canfield. Not to be outdone, BC's Ron Brace imploded Virginia Tech's Ryan Shuman off the snap, blowing him way back into the pocket. Completely the defensive dominance in this rotation, B.J. Raji had Wisconsin's Kraig Urbik falling forward and completely missing.
The battle between WRs and CBs was uneventful at best – mostly a corner class that couldn't successfully jam anyone of f the line. Penn State WR Derrick Williams' speed and route running was enough to handle the jam from UConn's Darius Butler. Ohio State's Robiskie had no trouble with Virginia Tech DB Macho Harris. Closing out the drill, Sooners wide out Inglesias drew praise for improved play and getting around Cincinnati's DeAngelo Smith.
The North moved into 9-on-11, and on the first play, B.J. Raji blew Alex Mack into the backfield with explosive force. The next play, Tim Jamison came from left end to pop Sheets in the backfield for a loss. And the next play, Larry English appeared to be playing at a different speed, getting ridiculous penetration – and before I completed writing the word, a Bengals coach has veins bursting from his neck, screaming, "Too much penetration!" Mind you, this is not from the left side, where Sooners' LT Loadholt appearing to be a beast among children, is playing like one – an immovable object. Harrell's next snap went to the ground (his second in as many days). Raji took Oregon's interior lineman Max Unger past Harrell, who tripped on the handoff exchange. Pettigrew got praised for finally knocking someone on his ass in the blocking game (on the right side of the line, on the final play of the drill).
The group breaks back into positional groups – DL with footwork and looseballs, RBs working LBs and DBs in coverage, OL in block scheme and moving downfield, etc.
The QBs are in 5-wide and right away one question is answered – Washington State WR Brandon Gibson didn't appear to injure himself yesterday on the go-route from Bomar after pulling up a bit lame, reaching out with his hand and making a clean catch on a 15-yard slant thrown a little too far ahead of him. Central Arkansas QB Nathan Brown makes his first really questionable throw, sailing a 35-yard pass on target to OU WR Inglesias, with that much air under the ball, a defender eats it up. Texas Tech's Harrell, by contrast, made a beautiful NFL throw on a deep out to TE John Phillips of Virginia, well-timed and over the outside shoulder, Phillips to his own credit made an excellent catch and run.
With this work done, the North quickly moved to get 11-on-11 work in, beginning with UNC's Brooks Foster making best catch of the week (so far), spinning to get a ball thrown behind him by Bomar, in traffic over the deep middle, holding on despite fairly heavy contact from multiple defenders. The next play was a highlight for Michigan DE Tim Jamison, blowing up a reverse to WR Ramses Barden for a loss. Beavers DB Keenan Lewis executed a well-timed pass break-up on the following play on a thrown intended for Penn State's Derrick Williams.
With Brown taking over at QB, Western Michigan's Louis Delmas made a notable play with a physical pass defensed against Oklahoma State's behemoth TE Brandon Pettigrew on a nice play-action rollout. Brown followed up with another quick play-action and release, short and over the middle to Robiskie who showed good yards after the catch ability.
Harrell moved in at QB and Ducks RB Jeremiah Johnson exploded on a toss sweep with an excellent run. Harrell hit Gibson deep, on a well run route, with a great thrown – on time and on target.
Whether or not there's a "climber" of any sort in this group, a Joe Flacco, much less a Jay Cutler, is a separate question from stepping back and wondering how good these 3 look as a 3-deep Senior Bowl group? Usually by his point, I think I can pick out a laugher so to speak (laugher in the context of draft consideration and assessment, perhaps notwithstanding next level consideration altogether). Will all 3 of these guys even be old-day one locks at this point? I'm not prepared to place any chips on that bet. My only point – my early impressions – top to bottom, solid execution from the QB position from the North and it's early in the week, I'd consider that atypical by Senior Bowl standards.
Notable from quick special teams work – Robiskie muffs a punt return.
Major one-on-one OL-DL battles ensued; giving coaches and scouts a lot to consume this morning.Oregon OL Max Unger began facing BC's B.J. Raji who beat him badly and surprisingly to the outside. Lost in the speed of his pass rush wake (and the crowd) was whomever NIU DE Larry English beat.Illinois OL Xavier Fulton lined up across teammate Will Davis and Davis beat him with an inside move. With Cincinnati OL Trevor Canfield facing Iowa DL Mitch King, this kicked the intensity up a notch with Canfield pounding his chest and King digging in one of his paws, attitude versus motor - uneventful this time - something to keep an eye one. Rivals Virginia Tech OL Ryan Shuman and BC DT Ron Brace stepped in next and played to a draw, Shuman managing to get Brace on the ground and falling on top of him, but on the next rep, Brace blew Shuman into the pocket. Oregon State OL Andy Levitre gave us the first victim when Purdue DL Alex Magee beat him badly on consecutive plays demonstrating a full complement of speed, power and moves. Score one for the offense with Oklahoma LT Phil Loadholt taking back control, making UConn DL Cody Brown look like a blitzing safety, forcing him high and wide twice. Levitre redeemed himself a bit, standing up Michigan DE Tim Jamison and stopping him cold with solid technique and footwork, on the next play, Jamison overplayed what Levitre just did and worked him back inside, beating him with an easy move. Wisconsin OL Kraig Urbik faced Missouri DL Ziggy Hood and Iowa DL Mitch King on consecutive reps and couldn't handle either one. Likewise for Oregon OL Max Unger, he was thrown the tandem of Eagles, BC's B.J. Raji and DT Ron Brace and was embarrassed by their power off the snap. Cal OL Alex Mack was Ziggy Hood's next spin move victim, but stopped him on the next play with a subtle hook around the shoulder and neck. Oregon State OL Andy Levitre was beaten to the outside by NIU DE Larry English, but most notable, I think it's possible English went around him untouched - that it was close enough is telling. Oklahoma LT Phil Loadholt was able to deny Illinois DL Will Davis any power - Loadholt was immovable. Cincinnati OL Trevor Canfield was beaten twice by Purdue DL Alex Magee, again, his speed stands out much like Kamerion Wimbley's had. Cal OL Alex Mack facing BC DT Ron Brace held up on the 2nd snap, appearing to realize that his power and speed is leveraged with that advantage off the snap of the ball. Oregon OL Max Unger was destroyed by BC's B.J. Raji, but interestingly, and by contrast, Unger held up quite handily against Iowa DL Mitch King on the next rep. The one-on-ones close out with UConn teammates OL William Beatty facing DL Cody Brown playing to a draw on a sharp contrast of plays, Brown bull rushing Beatty, blasting him into the back field, but Beatty stuffing Brown on the next play.
In Final 11-on-11 drills South Florida's Tyrone McKenzie began with great penetration and TFL in the flat. Later, Bomar hung up and mis-timed a sideline throw to Cal Poly WR Barden , despite the completion thanks to Barden's effort, most in the crowd had to be thinking (a) not an NFL decision at a minimum or (b) it's at least picked off at the next level, probably for 6 points. Purdue RB Kory Sheets continues to shine with his receiving and outside running speed. Derrick Williams had a terrible drop over the middle – end of practice, never when you want to have one of those.

An online post considered protected speech by a 17-year-old dropout could send an 18-year-old high school senior to jail under a new state law.
It's a crime under the School Violence Prevention Act of 2012 for any student to use a computer to "intimidate or torment" a school employee through online posts or pictures. A student who violates the law could be found guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor, punishable with a fine of up to $1,000 and 60 days in jail.
The bill became law Dec. 1 after being passed by the Legislature this summer.
"To our knowledge, this is the first time that a Legislature has ever singled out a class of students uniquely to face criminal liability for speech," said Student Press Law Center Executive Director Frank LoMonte. "We just don't send people to jail in America for ridiculing public officials."
The law may have been designed to protect teachers from students making wild accusations, but LoMonte said he's yet to see any proof that anyone's career was hurt by a bizarre and inaccurate post on a social media site.
"You can't tell me that an obviously fake childish MySpace page has caused someone not to get a job," LoMonte said.
A person can already sue for defamation if someone makes an accusation about a person that is untrue and harms the person's career.
Under the new law, it's a crime for students to make any statement "whether true or false, intending to immediately provoke, and that is likely to provoke, any third party to stalk or harass a school employee." Students can't create fake profiles or websites or post or encourage others to post personal, private or sexual information about school employees.
"There is a 100 percent chance that it will be found unconstitutional," LoMonte said. "It is laughably unconstitutional."
The law violates the equal protection clause because it singles out one class of citizens, he said. It doesn't require proof that the post was even seen by the school or by the person. A student simply has to post with the intent to torment.
"Torment" isn't a legally understood term. LoMonte questioned whether a student setting up a website to expose a principal or superintendent's shortcomings would be considered tormenting to that official.
"You have less protection for speech outside of school on a Saturday than in algebra class," LoMonte said.
Gaston Early College High School freshman Katie Cozad, 14, didn't agree with the law and the penalty a student could face.
"That takes away some of our rights as students," Cozad said.
Cozad said she hasn't posted anything about a teacher for fear they'd find out, but she's had friends who posted opinions. The law will make her think twice about what she puts online.
Protecting employees
"I think that these are difficult times for those of us in education. When I started out years ago there was no Internet. Any intimidation or threat had to be carried out person to person," said Gaston County Schools Superintendent Reeves McGlohon. "We do have situations where employees are threatened by individuals and that shouldn't happen. I think we have a responsibility to protect our employees as much as we do our students from fear or intimidation."
Most educators have good enough judgment to distinguish between a student comment that is playful and one with a threat, he said. The new law makes what's allowed by law clearer and gives employees another level of protection, he said.
"I think that our students ought to treat our teachers with dignity and respect. That doesn't mean that you can't disagree with them and respectfully share that with them," McGlohon said. "I think it certainly provides an appropriate protection for school employees and I don't think it infringes on the rights of our students."
LoMonte disagrees.
"It's such overkill. The idea that we're going to put this criminal mark on your life that's going to follow and haunt you forever for what might be considered an ill considered joke just seems to be a gross overreaction," LoMonte said. "We can't punish our way out. We have to teach our way out. You're not going to make people nicer by throwing them in jail."

Social Responsibility
Public school education is particularly near and dear to our hearts. In 2011, we started partnering with two charities that value the importance of fostering and promoting safe, happy and effective learning environments: DonorsChoose.org and Teach For America.
DonorsChoose.org is an online nonprofit that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on the site, and people can give any amount toward any project. When a project reaches its funding goal, DonorsChoose.org ships the materials to the school. Donors receive photos of the project taking place, a letter from the teacher and insight into how every dollar was spent.Visit DonorsChoose.org to learn more >
Teach For America is a national organization committed to the movement of leaders who work to ensure that kids living in poverty get an excellent education. In order to accomplish this, Teach For America handpicks recent college graduates to teach in urban or rural schools for a total of two years.Visit Teach For America to learn more >
Garments for Good
Whenever possible, we like to use our creative resources to lend support, designing T-shirts and other items to sell in our stores and online with net proceeds going back to the charitable partner. Recently, we introduced Garments for Good to create products in partnership with St. Anthony High School, Friends of the High Line and the National Park Foundation.

Man who survived WWII bombing raids meets pilot who flew them
Ian Terry / The Herald
Ken Kazuyoshi Gunji (left), who lived through the American bombings of Japan during World War II, speaks with former B-29 bombardier Harry Spencer at Anthony's HomePort in Everett on July 31. "I've been many places in the world and my conclusion is that there are no differences between people," said Gunji, who contacted Spencer to set up a meeting. "We are all one human race."
Ian Terry / The Herald
Ken Kazuyoshi Gunji (left) describes hearing the sound of American bomber planes overhead during World War II in Japan to former B-29 bombardier Harry Spencer at Anthony�s HomePort in Everett on July 31.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Former B-29 bombardier Harry Spencer (right) listens to Ken Kazuyoshi Gunji recount his story of living through American bombings of Japan during World War II on July 31. �I didn�t know if he�d hate me,� Spencer said, who agreed to meet after Gunji contacted him. �I debated while we were dropping the bombs whether we were doing the right thing.�
Ian Terry / The Herald
Ken Kazuyoshi Gunji (left) describes seeing American bomber planes fly over his home country of Japan during World War II to former B-29 bombardier Harry Spencer at Anthony�s HomePort in Everett on July 31. Gunji, whose family�s home in Japan was destroyed by American bombs during the war, contacted Spencer to meet with him after reading a story about his military career in The Herald that was published June 22.
Their paths had crossed some 70 years before in wartime Tokyo. Harry Spencer had seen the city through the crosshairs of the bombsight on a U.S. B-29 Superfortress. The other man, Ken Gunji, was a teenager at the time, watching the American warplanes overhead turn much of Tokyo to ash.
Gunji felt the heat of the firestorms created by American incendiary bombs that raged through the city's predominantly wood buildings. The flames scarred his sister and burnt their home. He learned to live in wartime, when flesh and bone become national commodities as much as boots and bullets.
Spencer saw friends die as their bombers fell to the ground. He felt his bomber shake from anti-aircraft fire. And he wondered if he would make it back to Everett alive.
But the men didn't meet to lay blame for what happened. They met to connect.
Gunji tracked down Spencer after reading a profile of the former B-29 bombardier last month in The Daily Herald.
"I saw so many B-29s bombing over Tokyo," Gunji, 84, said. "One of them was yours."
Spencer leaned in, listening to every word.
"I didn't know if you'd hate me or not," the 93-year-old said.
"No. There's no bad feelings," Gunji replied.
Crippling raids
In 1945, Kenneth Kazuyoshi Gunji was 15 and living in Tokyo with his parents and three siblings. Japan and America had been at war for more than three years.
That year, American forces switched bombing tactics, abandoning precision bombing for firebombing. B-29s dropped incendiary bombs from low altitudes, creating firestorms that swept through Japan's industrial cities. The raids crippled the country's war production and killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children.
"March 10? Do you remember that bomb run? It was awful," Gunji said.
That raid on Tokyo was the deadliest bombing mission of the war.
"The next day, one of my classmates didn't show up. We knew what had happened," he said.
He and his classmates weren't meeting for grammar lessons. By that time, they had been sent to work in factories for the war effort, he said.
The next month, B-29s filled the sky over Tokyo again.
"I saw one after another B-29 coming" overhead, he said.
"One going slightly this way or slightly that way — that is OK," Gunji said, waving his hands past his face. "But one was coming right at me, and then the bombs."
Flames flashed around him and engulfed one of his sisters.
"My brother and I tried to extinguish the fire with buckets of water," he said.
Her head and hands, which had shielded her face, were badly burned. But she survived.
Their home, though, burned to the ground, he said.
His family moved in with an aunt.
In addition to devastating Japan's industry, American forces had all but cut off food coming into the island nation, which couldn't feed its people without imports.
"You guys must've been about starving to death," Spencer said tenderly.
Gunji nodded and looked down.
"The rice ration was so small, just this much," he said, lifting his coffee mug. "No salt, no sugar, no meat."
Right or wrong
In the skies above, Spencer lost count of his close calls — from enemy fighter planes and anti-aircraft fire, from engine problems, from near-misses with other American bombers.
As bombardier, the Everett native sat in the B-29's glass-encased nose. He had a front-row seat for the war.
On one bomb run, anti-aircraft fire cracked the window in front of him. It didn't break, though.
On another mission, his plane was flying through thick clouds, "flying in the soup," he said. "Another (B-29) zoomed in ahead of us, and our pilot lost control. I thought we were dead."
The pilot regained control, though.
On a raid against Japan, a "pursuit plane dove down and crashed into our lead plane. It blew all apart," knocking out a second bomber and clipping three feet off the wing of his own bomber, Spencer said.
At times he wrestled with the morality of the war and his role as a bombardier, lining up targets below, he said.
"I thought we shouldn't have dropped the atomic bomb," because the American blockade would strangle Japan eventually, he told Gunji.
America dropped two atomic bombs on Japan — the first on Aug. 6, 1945, over Hiroshima, followed by a second on Aug. 9 over Nagasaki.
"My opinion, dropping the bomb was okay, because it was war," Gunji said. "Dropping the bomb was okay, but the target was wrong — women and children."
He compared it to Japan's raid against the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, a surprise attack that brought America into the war.
"It was a military target," not civilian, Gunji said, and added, "Whoever started the war made a big mistake."
Even though his father had worked as a forester for Japan's Imperial Household, his family didn't support the war.
Aug. 15, 1945, was a hot, sunny day in Tokyo. Gunji and his family surrounded a radio in the back yard at his aunt's home. They listened as Emperor Hirohito announced Japan's surrender to the Allies.
Relief flowed over the family; they had survived a war they had never wanted.
"Sooner or later, I would have had to join the army," he said.
Life moves along
After the war, Gunji moved to Corpus Christie, Texas, in 1957, where he met his first wife. He has lived in the U.S. ever since, though he visits Japan nearly every year, he said.
He became a U.S. citizen in the 1960s, and started using Kenneth as a first name in place of Kazuyoshi.
He has two grown children, including a son who spent several decades as a U.S. Navy aviator, and seven grandkids.
Following college, he worked for a couple of years as a photojournalist for the city's daily newspaper, before going to work for the Bank of Tokyo's Houston branch in 1963.
His job took him to the Pacific Northwest for a few months, long enough to fall in love with the area. A couple of years before retiring, he transferred to the bank's Seattle branch and moved to Everett, where he lives today.
After the war, Spencer returned home to Everett, finished school, got married, also went into banking and raised four boys — all of whom graduated from Everett High School just like their father.
The war is fading from living memory now.
Wednesday marked the 69th anniversary of the U.S. dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The mission was flown by the crew of the Enola Gay, a B-29. The planes' last surviving crew member, Theodore "Dutch" VanKirk, died July 28 in a retirement home in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
"To me, humans are all one," Gunji said. "Your skin might be different — white, yellow, black — but inside, it is all the same."

Photos - 7 Day Kerala Relaxed
Detailed Itinerary
Depart from origin. If you are commencing your journey from the United States, we can recommend the best airlines and routings for your particular needs. We can also introduce you to consolidators who offer discounted fares (First, Business and Economy) on these flights. This is a service provided solely as a convenience and extra value for our guests. We do not sell airline tickets to people not touring with us.
Day 1: Arrive at Cochin (most international flights arrive either in the evening or at night). Our services begin here. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator and ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle. You are then driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check in. The next day's plans are briefly reviewed and you are presented with your welcome package. Among other things, this package includes a beautiful handcrafted journal for your explorations, travel documents such as your air tickets and hotel vouchers, as well as copies of documents (such as our General Travel Guide) that were sent to you earlier.
Day 2: Cochin. Start your exploration of the fascinating port city of Cochin and marvel in its culture and architecture, a result of centuries of various European influences combined with rich indigenous history. The guided tour begins from the Jewish Synagogue, which was built in 1568 and is still an active house of worship for the few remaining Jews in the area. Next to the synagogue is Cochin's ancient and colorful Jew Street with its antique stores and souvenir peddlers. There is evidence of a Jewish presence in Kochi from 70 AD. After the synagogue you visit the St. Francis Church, which was established by the Portuguese Franciscan friars in 1503. This is one of the first European churches built in India and the famed Vasco Da Gama was buried in its courtyard for a few years before his remains were returned to Portugal.
You now visit the most photogenic of Cochin's attractions, the Chinese fishing nets. Folklore will have it that these enormous nets (or at least their design) were brought here by famed Chinese Explorer Zhang He about 600 years ago. Local fishermen manipulate these massive nets with an ease that comes from centuries of practice – it is a vocation handed down by generations. The lowering and raising of the nets has a synchronicity and rhythm that is quite an amazing experience. Some of the nets are more than a century old as the fishermen patch them up and keep going. Finish your exploration with a short guided walk through Fort Kochi and experience the unique local culture and architecture – Fort Kochi is one of India's best cities to explore on foot
Evening – Your Guide or your Easy Tours Facilitator will pick you up from your hotel and accompany you to a local theatre where you get to experience Kerala's ancient performing art, a Kathakali dance performance. Kathakali literally means the art of storytelling through dance and the dance form is an ancient forefather of many Asian dance forms.
After the dance performance you are driven to an experience that is the highlight of many of our guests' time in Kerala. You will be hosted by a famous Keralan Chef and her family at their home. A delicious dinner will follow, and cooking lessons are included. At the end of dinner you will be driven back to your hotel.
Day 3: Cochin. You are assisted with your check-out by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator in the mid-morning and driven to the scenic backwaters, where you check into your magical lakefront resort.
You are at leisure for the rest of the day. The environmentally and socially progressive resort offers a variety of unique local activities as well as great places to walk around in. These include Keralan martial art performances, guided tours of their organic farms, and a lot more. The Keralan cuisine served here is excellent and the chefs will be happy to provide recipes and cooking tips. The architecture is uniquely traditional Keralan, with large sections of teak that were transported directly over long distances from centuries old Keralan homes. The resort has some of Kerala's best Ayurvedic practitioners and a therapeutic treatment is highly recommended. A sunset cruise on the famous backwaters of Kerala is included every evening during your stay.
Day 4: Kumarakom. You are at leisure on this day to enjoy your resort. There are various activities as mentioned above and the staff is eager to show you around. The only service provided by Easy Tours is your hotel rooms, including breakfast & taxes. Excursions into the surrounding rural region of Kumarakom can be facilitated upon request and at an extra charge. So can a longer cruise on the backwaters.
Day 5: Kumarakom –Mararikulam. You are assisted with your check-out of your resort and you are then driven to the nearby ocean front resort at Marari Beach. Check in to your resort on your own. Spread over 40 lush acres on the edge of the Indian Ocean, this resort is, arguably, the flagship of the CGH resorts. It offers all the activities and experiences that Coconut Lagoon offers, plus a lot more. The Coconut Grove that borders the beach is an ideal place to relax. Once again, some of the world's best Ayurveda practitioners are available here. You are at leisure for the rest of the day to enjoy the facilities at your resort.
Day 6: Mararikulam. You are at leisure today to enjoy the facilities at your resort. The only service provided by Easy Tours is your hotel accommodation, including breakfast and taxes. Excursions into the rural areas, including fishing villages, can be facilitated with advanced notice and a small charge.
Day 7: Mararikulam – Cochin – International Flight. Check-out from your resort by noon and join your chauffeur. You are driven to the Cochin airport where you are assisted with boarding your internal-flight.
As most international flights depart in the evening, if you are boarding your international flight from Cochin, your vehicle and chauffeur are available to you until your assisted check in at the airport.
If you are boarding a daytime flight to Mumbai/Delhi in order to connect with your international departure from that city, you will have two options. When Easy Tours makes your international travel arrangements, we are usually able to include this domestic flight as part of your international travel booking, thereby saving you money and enabling you to check your baggage through to your final destination.
If your international flight departure is around four hours or less (not recommended) from your scheduled arrival time at the domestic terminal at Mumbai or Delhi, you will ask the airline staff to assist you in locating the shuttle that takes you to the international terminal.
If your international flight departure is five or more hours from your scheduled arrival time at the domestic terminal at Delhi or Mumbai, you are greeted at the Mumbai/Delhi airport by an Easy Tours Facilitator & your personal chauffeur – this will incur a small surcharge. Your vehicle and chauffeur will stay with you until your assisted check in at the international terminal. This is a good time to do some last minute shopping and/or sightseeing if you are so inclined.
Our services end at Mumbai/Delhi/ Cochin airport.

I keep getting spam show up on my Facebook sent to all my friends. When I looked into how it was sent I noticed that it was sent via cell phone.
I've changed all passwords to all accounts but it is still happening - how can I stop this?
One extra thing I'd do is change your settings so that you can't update Facebook from any cell phone.
Then check that the correct cell phone number is associated with your account.
Check your Facebook Applications Settings, and remove access to your personal data if you're unsure (particularly your cell number, etc.). There are few apps that absolutely have to have your cell phone number IMO. Also check your privacy settings, as these can also have an effect.
Check the settings on various applications. many of them access your friends list and have permission to send emails/post to your walls. Un-check those options if you are able or do what I did and uninstall those applications.
that person is probably sending updates to your upload by email address.
so you would need to refresh your upload via email address, which will change the address.
you can find out what your upload by email address is here: http://www.facebook.com/mobile/ (at the bottom left of the page) then click "find out more" then click "refresh your upload email" that will change your upload by email address which will stop anyone being able to update your facebook via the old address, which has probably been compromised somehow.
