|Melvin Ingram
|South Carolina
|Main issue is getting stuck in no man's land, lacks ability to quickly read and react to either run or pass. Is it bc of lack of length to separate? Problem is he doesn't engage enough with his hands/arms, prefers to step back to create space rather than pressing. Needs to stop over-thinking and just react, is that possible? Flashes very high level play when decision is made up early. Versus run when at best, stays low with leverage, strong hands/arms and can weave between lanes or hold edge to make tackle. Can really make tackles in short areas, punishing hitter. Overruns plays at times, bootlegs etc, or leaves lane responsibility, but flashes ability to use proper tech and win vs run inside or out. Gets too high off the snap but so built that he has a natural anchor. At his best pass rushing: shoulders over toes, arms extended, firing out low, very difficult to stop his momentum. May have the best closing burst in the draft, one step & almost full speed. Also utilizes an arm over swim even against bigger tackles, understands when they are over extended. Effective inside spin while at DT. Makes contact with arms too low, tough to see in backfield that way. Likes to undercut. Can really breakdown in backfield to make consistent tackles. Rolls away on the edge wehn QBs scramble outside. Sniffs out screens but focuses on QB too much instead of locating RB/receiver. Will be great when he consistently uses a low get-off with extended arms, consistently gets OTs off balance with momentum when he does- flashes this ability so I think its definitely possible. Can't limit him to one position but I think best a DE and DT on 3rd down. Charles Johnson type?
|Courtney Upshaw
|Relentless rusher, can stick outside foot in ground and work back in, incorporates spin too. Sound at preparing hands right before contact, even on quick blitz pickup. Rotates between LDE and RDE, experience from a 2pt stance too. Breaks down in the backfield, reliable 1on1 tackler. Utilizes a hesitation/delay rush, step back and then strong burst forward. Has some wiggle on the outside, subtle movements to keep OL off balance and off target. Can have trouble vs cut blocks, does not work around immediately. Handles kick out blocks with inside shoulder, responsible player. Takes strong angles at QB, doesn't loop, dictates where OL moves. Jump at the snap is not always great. Never shies away from contact, dips head a bit too much on contact though. Too often unable to see in backfield to determine if play is run or pass on first down. Plays with shoulders over toes frequently but under control. Even when he has inside hand control, struggles at times to disengage on the outside when not using under rip. Does he have a consistent power rush to the chest vs bigger OL? A jolting/unloading punch could really help with power to chest. Great angles vs run and pass, aggressively closes. Utilizes arm over swim as counter move.
|Nick Perry
|Solid straight line get off but once that is stuffed can he bend? Swats hands down quite a bit, doesn't allow OT to get hands on and latch. Very good burst off the line. Beats RT to the spot around the edge. Gets into backfield quickly when uncovered. Lacks change of direction burst and short area quickness to plant and fluidly make tackle after RB move. Stands in place when asked to spy instead of flowing before reacting. Does not handle cut blocks very well, doesn't power through low OL. Solid initial contact, powerful lower body. Stays low when face up on TE, jolts TE back. Uses length to wrap up and tackle. Has to run around OT instead of bending around the corner, longer angles. Struggles to beat G/T double teams. Creates separation best by swatting down hands instead of extending arms. Don't think he can plant outside and work back in. Only edge around? Looks to occupy hands when working around edge. Has some difficulty engaging versus the run at the point of attack. Tries to spin outside anytime first step is inside. Lacks burst when looping inside on twist/stunt. Limited in ability to win consistently, lacks elite bend/moves.
|Dont'a Hightower
|Played all over the defense, 3-4 ILB, LDE in nickel, OLB in 3-4. Won't show off a tremendous burst flowing to the ball but runs through blocks. Moves around at the snap on pass rush situations, beats RB easily with power. Finds blitzing lanes from ILB spot, finds contact through hands and looks to shed immediately. Much better straight line closing burst then flowing laterally. Even covers some RBs in the slot, man to man, is sure to make contact. A little bit of indecision on initial step vs the run, too short, needs to extend. Pass rushes from LDE well, arm over swim vs over extended OL. Always finds first contact through hands but they could jolt more. Hip turn in zone coverage is adequate, won't blow up many underneath catches. I like how his hands are up on 1st contact but wish he would unload more. When asked to fill lane vs FB he's a thumper, but waits at 2nd level other times. Strong vs blocks, may not jolt from the start but holds ground or pushes forward. I think he is more nimble than given credit for. Does lack change of direction fluidity but first step dropping is good. Very thickly built. Questionable hands catching. Doesn't read the backfield outstandingly well, needs to react while reading. May be susceptible to quick twitch RB movements, needs to be less tentative, keep feet moving, anticipate. Benefit from playing behind Chapman? Both can really hold their ground. Actually can beat RT to spot on the edge, aggressive pass rush angles. A truly punishing hitter at times. Not a real technical pass rusher, prefers to keep away from grasp. There are times he stalks RB very well, other times he stands still.
|Andre Branch
|4 sacks vs VaTech. Creates separation in multiple ways: Length, qks, hand control. Helps him hold edge vs run. Difficulty disengaging while penetrating or at the LOS to make tackles. Struggled against TE Bryan, controlled/pancaked. Good burst/first step, experience all over the line even in two point stance. Many pressures from 2 point stance, delayed blitz inside, + closing speed. Initial upfield line can be a bit looping, can plant and cut back inside, could improve timing. Struggles vs RB blocks and screen passes. + hustle, + in few flat coverage cases.
|Whitney Mercilus
|Struggles to beat a double, gets too close to OL pads. Will not anchor/recover once OL has gotten under pads vs inside run. Understands his responsibility to hold the edge and force inside. Very poor vs the run inside/stunting, dips head. Doesn't play with the athleticism he showed in combine workout. Penetrates upfield on pocket boundary but does not angle enough directly at QB. When he does get a jump around the edge he takes nice angle and bends with with arms extended to slap ball, keeps OL hands off with length. Good closing burst, great hustle player, chases sideline to sideline. Flashes outside step to inside move, remains untouched but push takes him off his rush line. Loses leverage too often after first contact, he is the one getting bowed up. Needs to arm bar with inside to inside, anchor with outside foot and hold edge. Flashes sense when to shed under vs overextended OL. Can jump and time the snap well, knows when he has extra step. Solid dip of shoulder to turn the corner when he has the step, releases from OL. Disrupts stretch plays with upfield penetration. Gives his shoulder up too easily on down blocks.
|Shea McClellin
|Boise State
|Plays all over the field, two point on edge, three point at RDE, even inside/outside LB in 4-3. Very good burst off the edge, can beat LTs with quickness and ins't afraid to engage in contact, fight through armbar/length. Reaction timing isn't outstanding, gets caught in no man's land on edge when not given defined role, aka purely pass rush. Good A gap blitzer, always seems to time the snap very well. Certainly are times where he is controlled in one on one blocks, even by TEs on the edge. Quick twitch reaction skills in the backfield to breakdown and anticipate. If he loses leverage and hand control on edge, LTs have much better advantage, struggles to disengage or anchor in these situations. Takes on blockers at the second level very well, contact and shed. If initial path is blocked at the snap he lacks true burst on second line. Don't see consistent bend on edge, angles can loop too much. Made many tackles on missed blocks/assignments, keeps balanced edge responsibly. Excellent at inside twists to rip under. Wins equally around the edge or sticking foot in ground and working in. Can get beaten to edge spot by RB if follows crashing OL down. Really like how he weaves between lanes but doesn't always eat up ground doing it. Very persistent player with high motor. Not stand out at Sr Bowl week, played 4-3 OLB, looked stiff in space at times. Does he have the power to extend under shoulder pads and push back?
|Jonathan Massaquoi
|Uses hands for placement when working through trash, needs to be stronger in these situations, stay on his feet. Mostly a DE in 3 and 4 man fronts. On the ground far too often, even in pass rush. Has tremendous length and long steps, but length does not always come with strength. Best when arms extend to chest and lift OL off balance, then takes inside release. Lacks short area burst to move laterally and to release past slowing blocker. Doesn't have a real natural anchor because base is too high, especially when not extended, needs to plant, sit, and extend. Active hands when he has the leverage and gets OL off balance, lower and rips under to release by. Twisting inside is quicker than expected but needs to meet contact with extended arms. Would be much better if that initial contact slowed him down less, meet it with extension and driving feet. Adequate closing burst on free rush bc of long strides, asked to frequently take inside rush lane. Change of direction to react outside is lacking. Great combination of shorter height which lowers pad level but longer arms to separate.
|Cam Johnson
|Ideal frame & length. Menacing frame does not equal play style. + Adequate get off, will not consistently get to corner with qks. Caught in grasp too often, does not effectively use length/hands. Best counter move is plant outside and work back inside. - power counter. Grabs and latches on first contact rather than immediately shedding. Understands edge responsibility vs run, capable on the edge. Occasionally can get turned on reaches or when undercutting. Rarely plays in space.
|Ronnell Lewis
|Short steps forward read deciphering developing play. Does not defend cut block very well. Mostly plays at 3-4 OLB, sometimes DE in 3 man front, DE in 4-3. Fights through contact on the edge with swipes instead of latching and extending. Nothing special in coverage, chops feet in space, drives on underneath routes, drops head on tackles occasionally. May get thrown down if coming off the line too high and attempting to take inside line. Can really blow up runs on the edge, get upfield by releasing past pulling OL. Best when starting outside line to get OL overextended, then planting outside foot and working inside. Will need to be more of a power/technique rusher than edge/speed, therefore needs to improve punch to chest and press, needs to keep fighting for position and chop feet. Good at attempting to swat ball down if not going to reach QB. Fantastic special teams player. Doesn't cover enough ground when rushing inside. Struggles to disengage at times despite active hands. Reliable wrap up tackler, even around the ankles.
|Kyle Wilber
|Wake Forest
|Experienced at 3-4OLB, usually on right side. Focuses on blocking TE vs run but even is TE is a few steps too wide, could have used inside move. Doesn't use length enough, plays somewhat small, gets skinny chasing down the line. Focuses too much on his 1on1 instead of thinking about ultimate goal of getting to QB. Balanced in space, qide base and reacts for tackles. Reliably wrap up tackler with long wingspan. Looks comfortable on edge and in sapce, can jam TE or slot WR at the line, okay in short zones with open hips but can he plant in one step and drive? Adeq closing burst, nothing special, needs a better jump off the snap. RB blocks stunt his momentum. Not asked to plant foot in ground and anchor with length enough, but I'm intrigued by his length and comfort in space, just needs to use it to advantage.
|Bruce Irvin
|West Virginia
|Miscast as DE in 3-3-5, 14 sacks JR yr. + speed rush, +adeq burst off LOS, outside dip. Rushers passer like RB, avoids contact/finds open lanes. -counter move, helpless after momentum is stopped, -phys rarely engages. Tentative vs run, -responsibility/edge. Bites on fakes, adeq short area qks. + frame. Situational pass rusher to start.
|Olivier Vernon
|Plays DE in 4 man front, OLB in 3 man. Lacks a good burst off the LOS, arms close to body but arches to unload/gain leverage. Can get skinny through gaps but needs to use hands better to control/create separation, at least a rip. Loses footing too often vs run, recovers quickly. Adequate in space, makes contact with WR at the line, fluid hips. Best pass rush comes inside on 3rd downs from DT, good burst with low pad level, direct angle at QB. Struggles to get going once slowed on outside rush, caught in OL grasp. Does keep legs driving on the outside, but loses angle to QB, lacks shed skills. Loses edge responsibility vs cut blocks. Lacks instincts to understand aggressive angles beyond 3rd down. Gets pressure when attacking a shoulder, swim or rip and split gap.
|Brandon Lindsey
|Good get off, slaps away OT hands to get by. Allows QB to step up in pocket on rush line rather than anticipating, breaking down and working back inside. Lacks upper body power, can't press pocket with strength after quick upfield step. Get off will only win so much, doesn't do enough with it. Lacks even a first move with hands, all feet. Swats with hands instead of gripping and disengaging. Runs line vs run, inside arm on inside shoulder, shoulders squared. Has trouble disengaging vs run, would rather never engage. Overruns QB, can he plant and work back inside? Has some real straight line speed but lacks COD and no counter move. Flashes ability in space, played LB at Shrine. Dances at POA.
|Audie Cole
|NC State
|Moved from SLB to ILB in '11. Lacks sideline to sideline spd and instincts, not a lateral player. Best work between tackles vs run, forces plays inside if he can't make play. Good form taking on blocks, leads with shoulder, could use hands more. Consistently unable to get outside or to short passes, marginal lateral quicks. Vs outside plays, hesitates on initial step/read. + fills lanes inside, unable to breakdown in backfield. Whiffs on some tackles in space. Attempts to disrupt downfield TEs, limited trailing speed. Fair hip turn, lacks fluidity. + pass rusher, SLB or ILB?
|Jake Bequette
|Played OLB in 4-3 at Senior Bowl, two point/3 point stance in college at end in 4-3 or OLB in 3-4. Lacks a natural anchor vs crashing OL, gets taken off plant foot and driven back. Lots of difficulty when working over blocks, regaining position to stop running lane. Comes out of the gate low and with arms fairly extended, first contact can jolt OL back but does not sustain that push and ends up losing ground. Does not look to shed, prefers to just drive on chest with hands low. Certainly does not have short area quickness in space. Gets taken down to ground when overextended or unbalanced. Gets too far directly upfield, needs better angles. Linear. Decisions to take inside route allow open edge to ball carrier.
|Darius Fleming
|Notre Dame
|Adrian Robinson
|Mostly LDE in 4-man front. Lacks short area quickness in space, stiff hips. Adequate get off but doesn't do anything with it if initial momentum is stuffed. doesn't get push. Hesitates when facing a backfield blocker, focuses on that blocker instead of ultimate goal of QB. Attempts different initial moves like spin move, dip to the outside is the best. Doesn't crash down from the weakside at full speed. Lacks lateral burst, once stopped he won't beat RB to tackle point. Keeps edge responsibility but needs to factor in his lack of burst more. Does not use hands enough to control vs run/pass.
|Tahir Whitehead
|NCAA situational pass rusher, + variety of moves (push/pull). At LOS from diff spots, 2pt stance. + bend at edge, needs to keep driving feet. Stays in rush lane. + closing spd. - counter power, reaches for QB arm. Rarely in vs run, suspect, adeq s2s spd, + runs line. - reaction to stretch runs, - form vs blocks. Adeq in cvg, better in zone. - aqility to stay w/crossing routes. Adeq burst off snap, - pop, + hands for size. + hitter. Qker than fast.

SEOUL (AP) — New U.S. sanctions against North Korea will seek to strangle the narcotics trafficking, counterfeiting of U.S. dollars and other "illicit and deceptive" activities that provide the regime with the hard currency used for its nuclear weapons program, a senior U.S. envoy said Monday.
Robert Einhorn, the State Department's special adviser for nonproliferation and arms control, made Seoul a first stop on his Asian tour to encourage allies to act aggressively to enforce sanctions against North Korea and Iran, nations he said constitute "two of the greatest threats" to nuclear nonproliferation and international security.
He met Monday with South Korean officials to discuss the sanctions that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced during her own trip to Seoul two weeks ago.
Specific new measures to be adopted by the United States in the next few weeks will name publicly and block the assets of entities and individuals involved in the buying or selling of arms in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, illegal activities to bring in hard cash or trade to divert luxury goods to Pyongyang, Mr. Einhorn said.
"We know that these activities bring hundreds of millions of dollars in hard currency annually into North Korea, which can be used to support DPRK nuclear or military programs or fund luxury goods purchases," Mr. Einhorn said at a Seoul news conference.
DPRK stands for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"These measures are not directed at the North Korean people," he said. "Instead, our objective is to put an end to the DPRK's destabilizing proliferation activities, to halt illicit activities that help fund its nuclear and missile programs, and to discourage further provocative actions."
He said Washington is concerned about a global network of trading firms involved in proliferation-related activities and said the United States would urge other nations to pressure banks in their nations to freeze those companies' accounts.
The United States has imposed similar sanctions on Pyongyang in the past. In 2005, Washington blacklisted the Banco Delta Asia, a bank in the Chinese territory of Macau accused of helping North Korea launder money and conduct other illicit activities.
Institutions concerned about their reputation and jeopardizing their U.S. connections stopped dealing with the bank after Washington's threat, effectively severing North Korea from the international financial system.
Mr. Einhorn said the nuclear programs of North Korea and Iran threaten global peace and security. Washington wants to pressure them to meet their international obligations and give up their nuclear weapons, he said.
He praised Australia, Canada and the European Union for moving to enforce financial sanctions against Iran and North Korea, but said China's support was "critical."
China, North Korea's main benefactor and traditional ally, is a permanent, veto-wielding member of the U.N. Security Council and has balked at coming down too hard on its impoverished neighbor. China also has vast energy needs and considerable investments in Iran.
Mr. Einhorn and Daniel Glaser, the Treasury Department's deputy assistant secretary for terrorist financing and financial crimes, head to Tokyo on Tuesday and are to visit China later in the month. Other U.S. officials will travel to the Middle East and South America in coming weeks for similar meetings.
North Korea is believed to have enough weaponized plutonium for at least half a dozen nuclear bombs and last year revealed it has a uranium enrichment program that would give the regime a second way to make atomic weapons.
Five nations — China, Russia, South Korea, the United States and Japan — have been trying for years to negotiate with North Korea to dismantle its nuclear program in exchange for aid and other concessions. Pyongyang abandoned those talks last year.
Washington and Seoul also accuse the North of sinking a South Korean warship in March. Forty-six sailors died in an explosion that an international team of investigators say came from a torpedo fired from a North Korean submarine.
On Monday, North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun reiterated his nation's denial of involvement in the sinking of the Cheonan warship, Indonesia's Marty Natalegawa said in Jakarta, Indonesia, after meeting with the diplomat.
Mr. Natalegawa, his country's foreign minister, said Mr. Pak told him North Korea is ready to return to the nuclear disarmament talks.
"Indonesia welcomes DPRK's readiness for the dialogue … and encourages efforts to revive the six-party talks process as a solution mechanism for all problems in the Korean peninsula," Mr. Natalegawa told reporters.
North Korea first must demonstrate that it is sincere about denuclearization, Mr. Einhorn said.
"We can't repeat the kind of cycle we've been through in a number of previous occasions where North Korea engages in talks, makes commitments and then abandons those talks and reneges on those commitments," he said. "We have to break those cycles, especially in the wake of the Cheonan incident."
Associated Press writers Jean H. Lee in Seoul and Irwan Firdaus in Jakarta, Indonesia, contributed to this report.

Hiding the obnoxious grid at the top of every forum page
I've written a Stylish plugin to hide the huge grid inexplicably at the top of every single forum page. This grid is cool on the home page, semi-useful on the gallery page, and totally obnoxious on the forum pages.
You need Stylish installed in your browser (Firefox or Chrome).
Then go to the userstyles.org page where I have uploaded it:
conceptart.org - remove huge grid from forum
If you don't have access to Stylish (say, you are using Safari), there are probably other ways to add this style (say, Greasemonkey). The CSS code of the style is this:
@-moz-document domain('www.conceptart.org'), url-prefix('http://www.conceptart.org/forums') { /* Hide the huge grid */ #thumbgrid_wrap { display: none; } /* Hide banner ads */ img.bannerz { display: none; } }

But it riles me just a little when someones first post is to label the grid that is meant to drive and inspire everyone as obnoxious. But I sound like an asshole, to the OP thanks for trying to help I guess.
Meh, my stitches hurt.

Sorry, here for the art.

Personally, I find the grid annoying. Not enough to download something to get rid of it, but it really annoyed me when I first joined. I've gotten used to it now.

Why all the bashing? It doesn't seem that offensive to me to dislike the grid.
February 3rd, 2012 #17
I am perpetually surprised at the ability of first posters to trigger lengthy debate on CA. I'm not sufficiently computer-wise to judge if they are even persons and not some kind of spam bot. It's like they are some kind of mechanized controversy generators.
In case the OP is, in fact, a flesh and blood person, then welcome to CA!
The grid? I like it! Sometimes, late at night, when I don't want to go to bed, but don't have anything useful to do, I click on the grid squares. What delightful journeys they take me on.
The truth will set you free,
but first it's gonna piss you off!

I don't know if the problem is the grid itself or the giant ads above and below it. When I first joined this site, I think there was one banner below the grid to advertise new downloads and big events on the forum - I really liked that banner because it alerted me to new developments on the site that I was interested in. Now there are 4 banners and the 'header' is so large that on my Chromebook, it takes up the entire page so you have to scroll down to see the actual forum. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be any ads, but you have to be aware that if they continue to expand, they will eventually start to annoy your members and they will in turn look for ways to remove them.

I don't mind the little rectangles with awesome art either, but the ads are quite annoying. It's cool though, I just ignore them :/ at least they're visually pleasing ads and not something like "find singles in your area" or "mom makes 4000 dollars a week" sort of ads.

I prefer a grid that links to tutorials and things we'd actually be interested in rather than random ads about stuff.

And then God said, "Let us make man in our likeness and our image. Let us make him ridiculously hard to draw so that poor artists everywhere will have to spend 10,000+ hours failing repeatedly before they can begin to capture the form and likeness onto a two-dimensional surface." And there was man. And it was good. And artists everywhere lost their minds.

tutorials in the forum section. Random ads? What are you talking about, d00d? What you seem to think of as 'ads' are educational downloads, the money of which goes towards keeping the site running. The thumbnails are the artwork of people who have been altruistic in their contributions towards this site.

You know I've been posting here for awhile and don't even know how people get on the grid. I think if you come here enough you start just thinking of the grid as a reminder that you are here.

I visualise the grid as a big sitting room for the big kids to look down on us through a large window.

I think the artwork-less forums would look pretty bland without the banner on top. And I'm glad that it informed me of the download sale.

WOBURN, Mass. (August 31, 2005) - Former Boston College defensive lineman Derric Rossy (8-0, 5 KOs) returns to familiar grounds, close to where he starred on the gridiron, in order to advance his professional boxing career..
Rossy has been added to the September 17th "Mayhem in Mansfield" undercard at the Dana Barros Sports Complex in Mansfield, Massachusetts. "Mayhem in Mansfield" is promoted by New England Ringside Promotions in association with Irish Ropes and Cedric Kushner Productions.
"Rossy gives us a real B.C. maroon-and-gold flavor especially with former Eagles basketball great Dana Barros hosting the show at his beautiful sports complex," New England Ringside Promotions president Rick Brutti said. "Rossy is a big, athletic Italian kid who is unlike so many former football players who've turned to boxing. Derric has very quick hands and feet to go along with his obvious power."
Unbeaten Irish middleweight sensation John Duddy (11-0, 10 KOs) headlines in the eight-round main event against former WBC Fecarbox light middleweight champion Joseph "The Assassin" Brady (13-4-1, 6 KOs) from Albuquerque (NM).
Former Massachusetts super middleweight champion Derrick "Double Impact" Whitley (22-23-3, 11 KOs) faces light heavyweight Dhafir "No Fear" Smith (13-9-2, 3 KOs) of Pennsylvania in the eight-round co-feature.
Irish junior middleweight prospect James Moore (1-0, 1 KO), a Bronze Medal winner at the 2001 World Amateur Championships, is scheduled to fight in his first six-round match.
Dublin native Paschal "Packie" Collins (13-2-1, 4 KOs) makes a comeback after being idle six years in a six-round super middleweight match against an opponent to be determined.
In scheduled four-round matches, Worcester welterweight Luis Villamontes, fighting out of Brockton, is matched against David Lee Marquez, of Colorado Springs, in pro debuts for both fighters; former two-time New England Junior Olympics champion, light heavyweight Chris Treatti, from Quincy (MA), and former three-time New York City Golden Gloves champion, junior welterweight Jorge Teron (5-0, 4 KOs), are also scheduled to fight on the card. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
Tickets are priced at $100.00 (VIP/ringside), $55.00 (reserved), and $35.00 general admission. Tickets may be ordered by going to www.ticketweb.com and will be on sale at the doors the night of the show. Doors open at 6 p.m., first bout at 7:30 p.m. Tickets also are now on sale at the Dana Barros Sports Complex (508.337.3100, www.danabarros.com), located at 31 Oxford Road in Mansfield.

The US Department of Justice sent a mixed message last week in a brief on whether genes should be patented. The answer is no for genes that are identical to those that occur in the human body, but yes if the genetic material has been altered to make it different from anything in nature.
The DOJ's brief is relevant to a forthcoming case in the appeal court over whether US patents on two genes that raise a woman's risk of breast cancer should be allowed to stand. It comes out in support of a ruling in March by a lower court that the patents, owned by biotech firm Myriad Genetics, should be revoked because they cover gene variants identical to ones that can be found naturally in women.
Organisations hoping to ban gene patenting, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, are delighted by the DOJ's view. "The trend internationally is towards rejecting gene patents," says Chris Hansen of ACLU.
But the US Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) is dismayed by the position on isolated "natural" genes, even though the brief came out against the lower court's ban on most other types of gene patent. "If adopted, the Department of Justice's position would undermine US global leadership and investment in the life sciences," BIO president Jim Greenwood says.

The media has their template on the untimely death of Chris Henry...and its' Hollywood all the way. Their version is that Henry was a guy who, after years of trouble, had finally overcome his demons. That he was well on his way towards turning his life around, when he was tragically taken from us. The truth is that Henry was never able to completely shed his demons. Unfortunately in life, "the demons" sometimes win out...as apparently was the case here.
What happened to Henry was that, for whatever reason, he was embroiled in an argument with his girlfriend. Instead of being cool about it, he insisted that she talk to him about whatever problems they were having...immediately. She was not interested, and when she got into her pick-up to drive off, Henry jumped into the bed of the pick-up, ordering her to stop...and banging on the back window of the pick-up cab. When she didn't, Henry allegedly threatened to kill himsellf by jumping out of the moving truck. Further details are sketchy from there...probably due to a pending police investigation: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20091217/SPT02/312170071/1066/Henry+details+emerging
Sad? Yes. But, are these the actions that a guy, who finally "had it all together", would take? Or...does this sound to you like the actions of a very troubled young man?

LITURGY & MUSIC on Sunday, March 5, 2015 (Lent III B)
EUCHARIST: 11:00 a.m. (with choir, organs, and instruments)
The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament shows his handiwork.
The Third Sunday in Lent takes us to the place God lays out the Commandments to Moses. These appear to be the heart of the Covenant God makes with the people of Israel, in essence the conditions under which God agrees to be their God. Paul makes it clear in this piece from the 1st Letter to the Corinthians that the willingness of Jesus to accept the people's rejection of his message and the deadly consequences of that rejection turns everything upside down. Now, those who accept God's unconditional love are to be the New People of God. Jesus Christ is the heart, or cornerstone of that New Covenant. The Gospel previews God's intent to "clear the decks" and open the Kingdom of Heaven to all who put their trust in Christ.

BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and president Rajnath Singh today congratulated N Chandrababu Naidu on the TDP's spectacular performance in Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha polls.
Modi and Rajnath called Chandrababu over phone as trends indicated that the TDP was on the way to form the government in (new) Andhra Pradesh, by gaining lead in over 100 Assembly constituencies. Chandrababu, in turn, congratulated Modi and Rajnath over the BJP and NDA's stupendous performance in the general elections.
The TDP, which has an electoral alliance with the BJP, is also leading in over 15 out of 25 Lok Sabha seats in AP as per initial leads.
The TDP-BJP combine is also putting up a good show in Telangana by securing lead in about 25 Assembly segments.
Rajnath reportedly discussed with Chandrababu the current trends and the possible outcome in both the regions, TDP sources said.
TDP cadres burst into celebrations at Chandrababu's residence at Jubilee Hills here.

At least the wrist seems to be good. With a few matches under her belt, hopefully she'll iron out the kinks in her game in time for the Aussie Open. Man, I miss the Stuttgart '11 days....
She's not as off-balance 2nd set as she was in the first. But she's just not capitalizing on Knapp's lackluster moments.

Congress pressed to act to curb child-abuse deaths
NEW YORK Armed with grim statistics, experts and activists are mobilizing this week to demand expanded federal efforts – including more money and tougher oversight – to reverse a recent rise in the number of children dying from abuse and neglect.
Child-welfare advocates gathering for a rally and conference in Washington say America should be embarrassed to have a child-abuse death rate far higher than other wealthy democracies. They cite the latest federal figures showing that an estimated 1,760 U.S. children died from abuse and neglect in 2007 – up 35 percent from 2001.
"Child abuse and neglect are national problems that require national solutions," said Michael Petit, president of the Every Child Matters Education Fund. "That means federal lawmakers must work with states to address what causes it, be more consistent in how data about it are shared, and increase support for the agencies that work to stop it."
The recession is inflicting a further hit, with many states imposing budget cuts that affect child welfare programs. Abuse deaths are up sharply in some areas – authorities in Nevada's Clark County, home to Las Vegas, have tallied 37 abuse deaths so far this year, compared to 18 in all of 2008.
Every Child Matters is releasing a report Wednesday, a day ahead of the two-day child abuse conference, contending that inadequate resources are stretching state child-protection agencies too thin to properly serve at-risk children and their families.
The report – which brings together data compiled by a variety of federal, state and private agencies – says per capita spending on child protection varies widely by state, as does the diligence of state agencies in collecting statistics on abuse fatalities.
"The differences between the states are so vast that there's got to be a federal intervention that's stronger than present or these children will continue to die at these high rates," Petit said.
The report cited a survey by UNICEF in 2003 that calculated the U.S. child abuse death rate as 3 times higher than Canada's and 11 times higher than Italy's.
Among the report's recommendations:
–Up to $5 billion in additional federal funds to support child protection services.
–Adoption of national standards for child protection, to be mandatory for states accepting federal funds.
–Tougher, more consistent rules for how states collect and report data on child maltreatment deaths. The latest federal report on such deaths lacked data from four states, and Petit says other states may not include some fatalities that are in fact caused by abuse or neglect.
–A federal/state public education campaign to encourage reporting of child abuse and neglect.
Every Child Matters was organizing a Wednesday rally at the Capitol with support from Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I.., and stars from NBC's "Law and Order: SVU" – which often deals with family violence in its plots.
Casey said he hopes the week's activities will help "shine a light" on what he calls an epidemic of child abuse.
"As much of the frontline fight against child abuse takes place at the state level, the federal government must continue to work with states to provide resources," he said. "Especially as budgets are tightened, we must provide states with adequate levels of support."

In 2006, the US Census Bureau released updated figures that estimated the Hispanic population at 42.7 million -- as of 2005, about 14.4 percent of the total US population. Hispanic Americans are the fastest-growing minority group in the United States. Experts predict that Hispanic Americans will number more than 50 million by the year 2025 and could reach 102.6 million by the year 2050. Mexican Americans, numbering approximately 21.5 million, are the largest subgroup of Hispanic Americans. Millions of Hispanics from other countries in Central and South America live in the USA. Moreover, the 2008 Deloitte Report stated that in a survey, 51.4% of American Hispanics and 36.9% of non-Hispanics said they would consider traveling outside the USA for medical care.
The Latin American Medical Tourism Congress will feature advanced educational sessions on the implementation of Medical Tourism in US health insurance plans, how to create international patient departments, the high quality of health care in Latin America, the creation of healthcare cities and how to attract foreign patients overseas.

Which tools will help in validating form input in a website?
Find out how to validate form input in a website.
There are two basic types of tools that can be used for finding these application threats: vulnerability scanners and Web application security scanners.

You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Over the last couple of years, any vulnerability scanners have added Web application security scanning functionality. These tools identify pages vulnerable to SQL injection or other Web security attacks, along with their more traditional use for operating system or application scanning. These scanners are useful as a part of your overall vulnerability management program, but they will not be as effective as dedicated Web application security scanners.
Web application security scanners or dedicated SQL injection tools can be more effective in identifying all pages on your website that are vulnerable. Web application security scanners will have more capabilities to identify input-validation vulnerabilities and may allow you to customize your Web application security scans for your website. Three types of tools that can be used are: Web-based services, like the cloud-based service offered by WhiteHat Security Inc., open source tools like the Windows GUI-based FG-Injector Framework and close-sourced commercial products like IBM Rational AppScan, which is also Windows based.
All of these tools require different levels of experience to effectively run the Web application security scan, and you will need to determine which tool is most appropriate for your environment.
Depending on the complexity of your website, you may find a large number of vulnerable pages and may need to prioritize them for remediation. Adding a Web application firewall for an additional layer of protection may be something to consider if you have a large number of vulnerable pages.

Tattoos and facial piercings have become part of modern day society and college culture. There is nothing wrong with this – I myself have seven piercings (three in each ear and one in my nose) and a tattoo – but with these artistic choices can come consequences that we may not think of when we are younger and attempting to fit in.
Many members of older generations do not view tattoos and piercings the same way we do. To them, they are forms of rebellion, disrespect and, most importantly, decisions that make it increasingly difficult to build favorable professional reputations. If you have a facial piercing, interviewing with a professional organization is risky: Unless you have an exceptional resume and amazing skills, most employers won't take you seriously.
Visible tattoos are deal breakers for many employers as well, especially for those who work alongside customers and are constantly representing the company. Professional workplaces will not tolerate visible tattoos; if you have any but also have your heart set on a career with this kind of organization, you should cover them up. Though many offices have adopted more casual dress codes, visible tattoos are still a long way from being accepted and could hurt your chances of getting hired: If there's one position available and the other applicant has a cleaner cut appearance, you could lose out.
If you just have to get a tattoo or piercing, I am not going to try to stop you. Just remember that the choices you make now will affect you in the future.

She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

If you're like most college students, you expect to hear those two beautiful words that make all those sleepless nights cramming for exams the last four (possibly five) years worth it upon graduation: "You're hired." But with the economy in a relentless slump and the unemployment rate hovering at 9%, college students need to realize that what they choose as a major will influence their career prospects. With that being said, here are Wall Street Journal's top 10 majors that will get you hired:
What do you think of the majors that made the list? Is your field of study listed? Do studies such as the Wall Street Journal's influence your academic pursuits or are you unwavering in following your heart when it comes to your major?

If you don't remember the name Adam Wheeler, here's a refresher: He was the Delaware student convicted of fraud for faking his way into Harvard with forged transcripts and plagiarized essays. Just last year, he was sentenced to 10 years of probation for his actions. You'd think his sensational story that garnered national attention would deter him from citing the school on a job resume…but you'd be wrong: Wheeler violated his probation by doing just that.
According to the terms of his probation, Wheeler was barred from representing himself as a Harvard student or graduate. His lawyer Steven Sussman acknowledged that Wheeler had violated that provision by stating on his resume that he had attended Harvard but said he did so because of the "financial pressure" to support himself and to pay the court-ordered restitution to the university. That "mistake" could translate into jail time, as assistant district attorney John Verner said he will ask that Wheeler be ordered to serve the remainder of his sentence – 2 years and 5 months – for violating his probation. During his sentencing hearing, Wheeler apologized and said he was "ashamed and embarrassed."
What do you think of Wheeler's actions? Should be serve jail time or seek counseling for being a compulsive liar?

If you're like most people, the thought of bees and the stings that can come with them fills you with dread. But if you're looking for a career where you can learn more about the hard-working critters, make a decent wage and spend a lot of time outdoors in the process, beekeeping might just be for you.
Many beekeepers are nearing retirement and thus, the beekeeping industry has a wealth of employment opportunities for up and coming beekeepers. Grande Prairie Regional College in Edmonton, Canada is hoping to produce the individuals to fill these positions with its 45-week beekeeping program. Students will learn how to construct wooden beehives, market honey products, keep bees safe from disease and a particular focus on queen rearing, or the process of raising healthy queen bees. (After all, you can't expect to produce much honey without an effective queen!) Participants are also promised 26 weeks of paid work in the industry. The program is thought to be the most comprehensive beekeeping program in North America and will show students just how crucial bees are to the economy and life in general. In addition to honey, bees play an integral role in the creation of candles, candy and cosmetics. As if that's not enough, almost a third of our food in North America would be impossible without bees' pollination!
If you're interested in applying for GPRC's beekeeping program, you can find out more about the program here. The application deadline is December 1st so get yours in soon to avoid the sting of rejection! If you decide you'd rather keep your studies confined to the U.S., there are also a variety of beekeeping organizations devoted to the practice all over the country. Get the buzz from this list.

So maybe you're the type of person that had their entire life planned by 7th grade, so you already know what you'll be doing after college graduation. But if you're like most busy college students, you might only start thinking about post-grad plans by your second or third year of school. And that is perfectly okay because there are many different options and opportunities available depending on your major, personality or life goals! Here are just a few:
Grad school, law school and medical school: Post-graduate study may be your next step if you want access to jobs that have higher starting salaries or jobs that require more than four years of schooling. Law school prepares you to pass the bar exam before becoming a lawyer and medical school allows you to obtain your MD before becoming a practicing doctor – two things you just can't do with an undergraduate degree alone. Many majors encourage their students to go to grad school after undergrad as well because they'll be better educated and prepared before entering the work force. Grad school is a much more specialized course of study in comparison to undergraduate education so be sure you know what you want before you begin!
Peace Corps: Maybe you finished your undergraduate education and don't feel ready for more schooling or a job just yet. But what's another option? Join the Peace Corps or some other volunteer or missionary opportunity! It's a great way to help out those less fortunate than you, see the world (and get paid while doing so!) and you can even add it to your resume to impress future employers. Once you volunteer in the Peace Corps, however, you are committed to a 27-month job – if more than two years out of the country is ok with you, so is this opportunity!
Workforce: Maybe you feel prepared enough after your undergraduate years to transition into the work force. If so, go for it! Be aware that you'll be paid an entry-level salary (which isn't glamorous) and while you most likely won't land your dream job right out of the gate, you'll gain the career experience necessary to do so in the near future.

In a perfect world, getting a job or internship would be as easy as sending your cover letter and resume to an employer. The perfect job opportunities would just fall into your lap and hiring managers would be fighting over you. Well, if you've ever applied for a job, internship or even scholarship, you're well aware this isn't the case.
If you simply send in a cover letter and resume, you're lucky if they get more than a passing glance...and that's AFTER the endless search for opportunities. Rejection notices are rare and actually getting hired is even more so. I don't pretend to be an expert on getting jobs, internships or scholarships – far from it, in fact – but if there's one thing I've learned in my quest is that you can't do it on your own. It's the lucky few that get their dream job or internship on a lark; the rest of us have to do some legwork, which includes networking and making some contacts.
My personal dream is to work for the Olympics in some capacity and I'm studying abroad in London next semester to be there in the lead-up to the Summer Games in 2012. So, I thought, why not try for an internship? The website of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) was utterly unhelpful, so my mom and I started spreading the word that I was on the hunt.
It turns out that one of my mom's friends has a cousin who works in LOCOG's technology department! We've emailed and spoken on the phone and he's been nothing but helpful. I told him that, as a journalism major, I'd like to do something in that area and it just so happens that one of his friends heads the press team; he's going to send over my resume, cover letter and clips.
Of course, this doesn't guarantee anything and I still have to worry about my student visa application being accepted. But because I got the word out and asked for help, I got to pass Go and collect $200. Your mom may know a guy who knows a guy, too, so in your internship, job or scholarship search, don't forget the crucial step of being vocal about what you want.

I have been looking at graduate schools for a while now to better prepare myself for a career in my profession of choice. If you are interested in graduate school as well, you probably had the same question I once did: When and how do I start preparing?
We recently had a graduate school seminar here at Michigan Tech that talked about when to start applying, what to expect, taking the GRE, etc. Here are the points I found most important for one's journey to graduate school:
If you want more information on graduate school, my school has the seminar online for viewing and other resources used in the seminar can be found here. Do your research , stay organized and your acceptance letter will follow!
In addition to being a Scholarships.com virtual intern, Michigan Tech student Kayla Herrera is a media coordinator for the Michigan Tech Youth Programs and is a writer for The Daily News in Iron Mountain, Mich., Examiner.com and WHOA Magazine. She love a tantalizing, action-packed video game and can't get enough of horror movies (Stephen King's books always have her in their grip, though she prefers the old over the new). Writing is what she has always done, and that is what she is here to do.

There's been much debate about the true value of a college degree. This isn't surprising given rising tuition costs and lower employment rates but a new study by a 2011 Trinity College graduate reveals spending the time and money to obtain a college degree is still very much worthwhile.
That graduate – Sarah Millar – came to this conclusion by examining data from government and private sources as well as her own personal experience as a college student. She found that although college costs have climbed an average of 6.4 percent each year since 1981 and annual income has only risen 0.4 percent in that time, the average take-home pay of college graduates is $38,950 versus $21,500 of students who only graduated high school. Unemployment rates of the two groups are also in favor or college degree holders – as of last month, 4.4 percent to 9.6 percent – and earnings of college grads exceed high school grads by more than $1 million over 40 years. Millar does note that all colleges and majors are not created equal, though, as average starting salaries of recent grads in specific fields of study from well-known or prestigious schools are more than those from state universities or smaller private colleges.
Check out more information from the study here then tell us: What do you think of Millar's findings?

By now, most of the priority deadlines for college applications have passed. You have filled out your last application, written your final essay and everything is under review...so what's left for you to do?
During the period between submitting your application and getting an admissions decision, there is a lot you can do besides just sitting around waiting. Although patience is a virtue, why don't you take a look at what I did and see if you can keep busy!
Visit or revisit. If you haven't already visited your choice colleges, now is the time. Take a tour, meet with an admissions counselor and talk to students you see about campus life. If you have already visited, go again because the second visit is almost always more informative than the first: Now that you have seen a few different types of schools, you can go back to your top choices and get more pertinent information because you'll know exactly what types of questions to ask.
Volunteer. If you are deferred or waitlisted to your top college (knock on wood!), volunteer hours are great additions to your application and make you a more promising candidate. It shows that you are really doing everything you can to be a well-rounded student. If you were accepted to your top college, those volunteer hours didn't go to waste – it's humbling to give your time and maybe volunteering at the local hospital has given you a potential new career path as a doctor or nurse!
Job shadow. Shadowing someone working a job you're interested in is a great way to acquire lots of information directly from those in the industry. After the job shadow, maybe you'll realize becoming an orthopedic surgeon isn't right for someone as squeamish as you are or maybe you'll realize how much you love healing others. You won't know until you job shadow!
Sure, the couch is comfortable but get up and get out – there is a lot more you can do to prepare for those admissions decision letters!

It is a new year, which means new classes, new professors, new people and new adventures but for some of us, this January marks the beginning of the end: It is our last semester of college before we go out into the real world.
That day isn't here quite yet, though, and we soon-to-be graduates still have classes, homework and the responsibilities of extracurricular activities on top of applying for jobs or grad schools and taking care of last minute graduation stuff. In addition to all the work, we still want to spend time with our friends, go on spring break, relax and just have fun. So how do you do it all without going crazy?
I'm not an expert but I am quickly learning that the key is to prioritize. Make a list of all the things that you need to do – think: class assignments, preparing for tests, etc.) – and schedule when to do those things. With this method, you will know when you have to be serious about your school work and when you have time to kick back a little.
I personally have come to adopt a "work hard, play hard" strategy: I work hard by getting all my school work and studying done before and after classes, applying for jobs and taking care of any administrative stuff during the week and then I have the weekend to hang out with friends and have fun.
Just because this method works for me doesn't mean it will work for you - we all have different goals and there really is no "right way" to handle your last semester. Take the first few weeks to determine your path but I recommend organizing, prioritizing and scheduling your commitments and leisure activities. You may not have time to do every single thing you want to do exactly when you want to do it but you'll come pretty close!

Mary Dudziak's Exporting American Dreams tells the little-known story of Thurgood Marshall's work with Kenyan leaders as they fought with the British for independence in the early 1960s. Not long after he led the legal team in Brown v. Board of Education, Marshall aided Kenya's constitutional negotiations, as adversaries battled over rights and land--not with weapons, but with legal arguments. Set in the context of Marshall's civil rights work in the United States, this transnational history sheds light on legal reform and social change in the midst of violent upheavals in Africa and America. While the struggle for rights on both continents played out on a global stage, it was a deeply personal journey for Marshall. Even as his belief in the equalizing power of law was challenged during his career as a Supreme Court justice, and in Kenya the new government sacrificed the rights he cherished, Kenya's founding moment remained for him a time and place when all things had seemed possible.
