Browns wrap 1st draft under Haslam
BEREA, Ohio (AP)
The Browns' first draft under new owner Jimmy Haslam, a fresh front office and coaching staff was anything but ordinary.
It was unpredictable, productive, maybe even a little odd.
Over three days, the team continued its latest rebuilding project by addressing some glaring needs. The Browns picked LSU pass rusher Barkevious Mingo in the first round, acquired veteran wide receiver Davone Bess in a trade from Miami and selected San Diego State cornerback Leon McFadden in the third round.
Those were smart, solid moves.
The surprises came Saturday when the Browns pulled off their first trade in 45 years with the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, made another deal with Indianapolis to add another late-round pick in 2014, selected a Notre Dame safety coming off a ruptured Achilles and took two Division II players, one who was arrested in October for selling marijuana to a friend on campus.
About the only thing the Browns didn't do was pick a quarterback despite rampant pre-draft speculation they might take either Geno Smith or EJ Manuel.
All in all, the Browns came away feeling good about what they'd done.
There's much more to do.
''We're not asking for a free pass for this year,'' CEO Joe Banner. ''We expect to improve, we expect it to be conspicuous.''
The Browns began a busy Saturday by finalizing a three-year contract extension with Bess and then began looking ahead to the 2014 draft.
With trade calls coming in from all over the league, Cleveland swapped its fourth-round pick (No. 111 overall) to the Steelers for a third-rounder in `14, and then dealt their fifth-round selection (No. 139) to Indianapolis for a future fourth-rounder.
Enemies for decades, the Browns and Steelers had not made a trade since 1968.
Banner, who chuckled about a trade that made hardcore Browns fans wince, said he has no hesitation about making any deal inside the division. In fact, he prefers it.
''You don't make a trade you don't think you're winning, so if you're winning a trade within your own division, you're even better than winning a trade in another division,'' Banner explained. ''Obviously that can burn you from time to time, but if you look at Philadelphia, we traded (Donovan) McNabb. Everybody thought, `What are they doing, they're giving a quarterback to a team in the division?' We felt we strengthened the Eagles and didn't do anything to help the competitor.
''We're not afraid at all of making the trade in the division if we think it benefits us.''
Banner said the Browns went into the draft planning to use all their picks. However, they decided to make the trades for future picks because they could get better value, and because they realize they can't get everything done in one draft.
While it may give the appearance they're not projecting to win much in 2013, Banner said that's not the case.
''We're not gonna reach all of our goals or fill all of our needs this year,'' he said. ''But we think we'll play exciting, aggressive football.''
The trades were unexpected for a team that won just five games last season and underwent another major off-season overhaul. This draft also took place amid uncertainty about the future with Haslam under federal investigation for a fraud scheme at Pilot Flying J, his family's truck-stop chain.
Banner said Haslam was deeply involved in every aspect of the draft process.
''He asks a lot of very good, very smart questions, good things to make sure we think through,'' Banner said. ''He's a very positive energy and force to have around. He was here all weekend and it was great to have him.''
Haslam did not meet with reporters during the weekend. On Thursday night, he addressed season-ticket holders and sponsors, not long before Mingo was taken with the No. 6 overall pick.
In the days leading up to the draft, there were reports the Browns intended to use their first pick on a quarterback, possibly one to replace Brandon Weeden as the club's starter.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said nothing has changed regarding the QB situation. Weeden worked with the starters during mini-camp with Jason Campbell as his backup.
''I feel good about the group,'' Chudzinski said. ''How it plays out, we'll see in time and we'll know in time. I'm excited about Brandon and I'm excited about the progress he's made learning the system. I've also been pleased with Jason and the role he's taken in being there.''
The Browns used their sixth-round pick on Notre Dame safety Jamoris Slaughter, who played just three games last season for the Fighting Irish before rupturing his left Achilles. Slaughter said he's still recovering but is expected to be ready by the start of training camp.
In the seventh round, the Browns took defensive end Armonty Bryant from East Central Oklahoma. The 6-foot-3, 263-pounder was arrested in October on a felony charge of marijuana distribution in a school zone. But Chudzinski said the Browns feel Bryant is ''past his mistakes.''
Bryant assured the team he won't be a problem.
''Now that I've gotten that second chance, I feel like I won't let anyone down,'' he said. ''I won't let myself, the people around me or the Cleveland Browns down. I appreciate them for taking this chance on me.''
With their last pick, the Browns took offensive lineman Garrett Gilkey from Chadron State.
''He's lined up against guys from Florida State and North Carolina and it didn't faze him a bit,'' Chudzinski said. ''He's a tough guy and has the kind of attitude we want.''

Engineers take just 24 hours to get a new open source 3.15 Linux operating system running on new NVIDIA Jetson TK1
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Codethink, expert developers of Linux-based device solutions, showed a version of the latest Linux 3.15 kernel with a Baserock operating system and 100% open source graphics driver stack running on NVIDIA's new Jetson development board. Putting the whole solution together took just 24 hours.
Manchester, UK - "This shows what's possible with the right people working on a fully open source software stack with Baserock," said Codethink CEO Paul Sherwood. "Linux 3.15 was released late Sunday in California. We got our board on Monday. James started the work on Tuesday. By Wednesday we had with a fully working system, with wayland and weston running EGL clients using totally open technologies." Software engineer, James Thomas, carried out the work using the Baserock operating system workflow designed by Codethink's world-class team. "It's pretty exciting to show that we can now get a complete bang-up-to-date Linux operating system running on this amazing board in 24 hours," said James. " Most projects take weeks or months to get to this stage, if you can get there at all." "Keeping the whole software stack open means you can innovate faster and optimise all the way down to the metal," said Codethink CTO Rob Taylor. "No NDAs, no third party dependencies, no secret sauce, just open source. "Hats off to NVIDIA for their great community contributions that have made this possible, and to the great work done by the free and open source software developers around the world." The NVIDIA Jetson TK1 features a 4-core A15 cpu and a 192-core Kepler K1, all for under $200. As far as we know it's the first ARM board to feature fully open hardware accelerated graphics software support with the backing of the silicon vendor. The high performance and low price make it ideal both for kickstarter projects and for established players. For more information about NVIDIA Jetson see
About Baserock Baserock is an open source project originally created by Codethink engineers, which integrates a large set of open source and free software components into complete custom operating systems. It's a bit like a Linux distro, a build system, a workflow and a development environment all in one. The general aim of the project is to fix the things that are wrong with systems software engineering.

Are toxic biometals destroying your children's future?

Cadmium, arsenic, lead, and mercury have been linked to autism, attention deficit disorder, mental retardation and death of children. Mercury in thimerosal found in many vaccines and flu shots contributes significantly to these problems. Decomposition of the thimerosal can produce more toxic compounds, either methylethylmercury or diethylmercury, in the body. These compounds have a toxicity level similar to dimethylmercury. Within the human body, a mitochondrial disorder may release the more toxic form of mercury internally. Young children and pregnant women must minimize internal exposure to the vaccines and flu shots containing mercury.

Thanks for any advice as I don't have a clue, getting really frustrated with it.
The permanently engaged tone when dialing and a silent line has (for me anyway) occurred when there has been an area fault. I remember that the service status page indicated there was no fault in my area but a check of the help forums confirmed there was so maybe see if anyone in your area is having problems too.

Greece committed to implementing procurement reforms as part of its economic adjustment agreement with its international lenders. However, reforms were found to be challenging due to the country's increasingly fragile political situation and critical state of public finances. The involvement of the OECD to make change happen was requested in 2013 by Greece and the European Commission's Task Force for Greece.
Whistleblowing is an essential element for safeguarding the public interest and for promoting a culture of public accountability and integrity. The majority of OECD countries have recently passed legislation protecting whistleblowers and yet, despite being high on the agenda, successful whistleblowing stories are rare.
Encouraging employees to report wrongdoing, and protecting them when they do, is an important part of corruption prevention in both the public and private sectors.
This review focuses on advancing the performance-management vision of the Comptroller General of the Republic of Chile with a view to enhance the relevance and positive impact of its work on accountability and decision making within the public administration.
Lessons learnt from implementing the OECD Recommendation on Lobbying.
In 2002, OECD countries adopted the Recommendation on the Environmental Performance of Public Procurement which advocates setting green targets in procurement and adopting measures to make sure that the targets are met. OECD countries increasingly include environmental objectives in procurement strategies.
The Principles for Enhancing Integrity in Public Procurement provide governments with guidance in order to achieve value for money, increase transparency and prevent corruption in public procurement.
Reliable, efficient and affordable energy provision is crucial for national economies and has an enormous impact on the lives of citizens. Even though the production of energy from renewable sources is growing rapidly, fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal remain the main sources of energy worldwide.
A significant share of health care spending is done through procurement. Improved procurement strategies and processes provide the opportunity for better health services at lower cost.
This Forum took stock of the key challenges and trends in regulating money in politics; identify emerging risks and opportunities; shape a common understanding of the policy options ahead and trade-offs in enhancing fairness, integrity and transparency in decision making including in the realm of political finance; and mobilise partners to work together and promote synergies in the future agenda.

Odd situation with an audio jack
by TheMegaStorm - 5/27/13 10:30 PM
So, recently I purchased a small TV (24 inch, 1080p, 60hz) specifically to use on a desk for gaming on my Playstation 3.
I don't have a specifically gaming headset, but I figured I'd get my headset and plug it into the 3.5mm jack on the tv anyways for the superior audio my headphones would provide.
I noticed a distinct sound bias to the right ear, the sound was definitely stereo. But it was mostly out of the right ear, hence when sounds happened on my left they were much quieter and harder to distinguish than sounds on my right.
So, I threw in a couple of games where I could setup private matches (Namely Borderlands 2 and one of the older Call of Duty titles I have) and plugged in my headset. I tested the sound with grenades and other things and noticed that I definitely had stereo sound, but when the sounds were on my left they were much quieter. In fact sometimes to the point where deeper sounds were much harder to distinguish.
I guess my question is, how do I fix this? I've checked both the audio config on my tv and console, and I know the tv itself has stereo sound. This is probably worth some information, but the headphone plug does not fully fit into the socket. It goes all the way up except a very small bit.
Anyways, this was a long paragraph. But this is an annoying hindrance, people sleep in my household and having good headphone sound is a must have.
I checked it out, and played with the plug a bit. Everything was fine, but the sounds were biased to one side. Not that one side was deaf, but one side had better stereo sound.

Great in it's own or as a compliment to Environment Canada's forecast. If both are in good agreement, it's quite likely to happen. Forecasts include data from the European ECMWF weather prediction model.

|NBA Odds: Golden State Warriors at Portland Blazers Spread Picks & Public Bets
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Wednesday, 12 December 2007 14:00
Having Fun, Playing Well
The Golden State Warriors are in the midst of one of the best stretches in franchise history.
To keep it going, they'll have to figure out a streaking Trail Blazers team when they visit Portland on Wednesday.
Oddsmakers from SBG Global have made Golden State –5 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for today's game, the over/under has been set at 212.5 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 77% of bets for this game have been placed on Golden State -5 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
The Warriors (12-9) beat San Antonio 96-84 on Tuesday for their 12th win in 15 games. Golden State had not won 12 games in a 15-game stretch since going 13-2 from Dec. 6, 1975, to Jan. 3, 1976.
The surge has come after Golden State, which reached the postseason for the first time in 13 years last season, opened 2007-08 with six straight defeats.
Meanwhile, Portland (9-12) matched its longest winning streak of the season Tuesday night with its fourth straight victory, 97-89 at Utah. The win was just the second in 11 road games this season for the Trail Blazers, who are a far more formidable 7-3 at the Rose Garden.
The Trail Blazers, whose other four-game streak came from Nov. 7-13, will now try to win five in a row for the first time since Dec. 10-20 last season.
"The things that were causing us to lose early on were all easy, correctable mistakes," said Portland guard Jarrett Jack, who had 16 points against the Jazz. "I think we're cutting down on our mistakes and just giving ourselves more opportunities to make key plays."
Martell Webster scored a career-high 25 points for the Blazers, who won despite the absence of interior presence LaMarcus Aldridge. The 6-foot-11 Aldridge, who leads the team with 18.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, could miss a week or more with plantar fasciitis, a painful foot condition that kept him from making the trip to Utah.
"Other guys stepped up. We're learning how to play NBA basketball and we're growing," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "I think this team can continue to develop and grow."
The Warriors do have recent history on their side, as they have won eight of their last nine games against the Trail Blazers. The only loss during that stretch was a 106-87 defeat in Portland on March 11.
Stephen Jackson had 20 points, Baron Davis scored 18 and Matt Barnes added 16 on Tuesday for the Warriors, who rank second in the league with 109.7 points per game. Golden State won despite shooting only 39 percent from the field and failing to reach 100 points for the first time in 11 games.
"Well, it wasn't always pretty, but it was in the right column," Golden State coach Don Nelson said. "I thought defensively we competed and did a lot of good things and stopped the guy we needed to stop to win the game.
"We won a game in which we didn't shoot very well, so that's always a good thing."
Warriors guard Monta Ellis, who is averaging 18 points in nine games since Nelson inserted him into the starting lineup, strained his left thigh and was limited to less than 20 minutes Tuesday night. His status is uncertain for this contest.

Mortgage Redefaults Decline After Larger Payment Reductions
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Homeowners whose mortgage payments were changed under a program aimed at reducing foreclosures redefaulted at a slower rate after lenders gave more generous modifications, the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency said today.
About 18 percent of modified loans were at least 90 days delinquent within a year in the third quarter, compared with 20 percent in the previous three months, according to the Comptroller's "Mortgage Metrics Report." Delinquencies for loans 30 to 59 days late decreased 3.3 percentage points from the previous quarter, to about 34 percent.
Modifications implemented during the first quarter of 2011 defaulted at a higher rate than modifications from the previous two quarters because the payments weren't lowered as much, according to the report. That's because a bigger share of the recent modifications were under banks' proprietary programs rather than the government plan, according to Bruce Krueger, lead mortgage expert for the Comptroller, a division of the U.S. Treasury Department.
"More people qualify but they don't get as good of a modification," Krueger said in a conference call today. "It's not as successful."
The most recent redefault rate contrasts with 2008, when more than half of loans defaulted again within a year, according to previous "Mortgage Metrics" reports.
Payment Reductions
The average modification implemented in the third quarter reduced payments by about 24 percent, or $382 a month. Loans reworked under the U.S. government's Home Affordable Modification Program lowered payments by 35 percent on average, or $567.
Almost 1.95 million homeowners have been offered trial loan modifications since Jan. 1, 2009, and 883,000 have received permanent modifications as of Oct. 31, under the HAMP program, the Treasury Department reported Dec. 7. About 145,000 of the permanent modifications were canceled because of missed payments, a 16 percent redefault rate.
President Barack Obama's administration said in 2009 that its loan-modification program would help as many as 4 million homeowners. About 2.58 million homeowners started modifications under proprietary programs offered by banks and loan servicers as of September, according to the Treasury Department.
Foreclosures, Short Sales
Total loan modifications and alternative payment plans for delinquent borrowers fell 2.4 percent during the third quarter from a year earlier to 458,899, according to the Comptroller's report. Loan servicers completed 172,785 foreclosures and foreclosure alternatives, such as short sales, during the period.
The Comptroller's report covers about 62 percent of all first-lien mortgages in the United States, worth $5.6 trillion in outstanding balances.
Mortgage delinquencies declined in the third quarter to their lowest rate since the end of 2008 as fewer borrowers missed payments while foreclosures were little changed, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported Nov. 17.
Mortgage-default notices, auctions and foreclosure sales declined 14 percent in November from a year earlier as lenders reduced evictions for the holiday season and slowed foreclosure processing amid investigations by state attorneys general over documentation used to seize homes, RealtyTrac Inc. said Dec. 15.

NatNaiel - Do What You Wanna Do
Artist: Siimba Liives Long
Producer: Nicky Nicks
Album: Pizza
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 16 votes )
Should you take a listen to NatNaiel's first Booth feature? Well, it's a free country, and you can Do You What You Wanna Do—but if you're a fan of dope, retro-informed hip-hop, I highly recommend pressing play. The lead buzz single off his forthcoming, DJBooth-hosted project, this newly-released jam finds beatsmith Nicky Nicks flipping a funky, sax-laced sample as the New Jersey representative introduces us to his laid-back rhyme style. While Nat keeps his bars as playfully laissez-faire as the record's title would suggest, delivering a steady stream of punny punchlines and pop-culture references, he leaves no doubt as to his determination to take over the rap game: "Bet it hurts knowing that I'm too superior / Cats in my way, I'll X 'em out—I'm serious." How about, it Booth readers: does this slice of Pizza leave you hungry for more? If so, you can look forward to eating your fill March 26, when NatNaiel's GMAD/Earmilk/PNC Radio co-presented EP arrives on our mixtape page for free streaming and download.

The visit was part of Laureus's 'Sport for Life' project
Seenigama Oval was built two years ago with the funding of Surrey County Club
Seenigama (SRI LANKA): Sporting a garland of flowers, led through a guard of honour of schoolchildren by a group of traditional Sri Lankan drummers, Sir Ian Botham arrived at the Seenigama Oval here on Wednesday.
England's greatest all-rounder was in Sri Lanka on a two-day trip, five years after he had visited in the wake of the tsunami that had struck on December 26, 2004, as part of a team invited by Laureus Sport for Good Foundation to help start its 'Sport for Life' project in Seenigama, a village an hour's drive northwest of Galle, aided by the Sri Lankan NGO Foundation of Goodness.
Communities re-uniting
Remarking on the progress made by the project since his first visit, Sir Ian noted that the communities torn apart by the disaster were now re-uniting.
"The communities have come back together. When we were here 5-6 weeks after the tsunami, villagers two hundred yards apart weren't talking, everyone had gone insular, traumatised, and all had their grieving to do, their losses, there was no communication … So we felt that maybe sport was a vehicle to bring these villages back together," he said. "That was our way in."
The Seenigama Oval, built two years ago with the funding of Surrey County Club, is perhaps the project's most lustrous success symbol.
Coached on its lush-green outfields fringed by coconut trees, the Seenigama under-15 cricket team won the Super 8 -KAF Invitation tournament in Kuala Lumpur last month.
Her strokes honed at the adjacent Bryan Adams swimming pool, funded by the Canadian pop singer, 18-year-old Dilanjali won the prestigious All-island six-mile sea swim two months ago.
Special watch
In addition to watching an under-13 inter-school Twenty20 game at the Oval, Botham gave away a prize to 12-year-old Sriyan Chamod Dilshan, who won the Laureus Sport for Good-IWC watch drawing contest.
An engraving of Sriyan's drawing, entitled Team Spirit, will grace a limited-edition watch from Swiss manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen, one of Laureus' global partners.
IWF will donate part of the proceeds from the watch's sales to Laureus-supported projects.

Fukushima Nuclear Incident Pales In Comparison To Chernobyl
Japanese health officials said on Tuesday the potential health consequences of the nuclear crisis at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant are not equal to those caused by the disaster at Chernobyl.
Makoto Akashi of Japan's National Institute of Radiological Sciences said the levels of radioactive materials Cesium 134 and 137 are "much less than those of the accident at Chernobyl."
Akashi made the Chernobyl comparison during a special event devoted to the Fukushima crisis at the World Health Organization's 64th General Assembly.
"We do not think the radiation in Japan will contribute to an increase risk of cancer and leukemia," he said, adding that there is need "to study the issue very closely."
The tsunami triggered by the massive magnitude-9.0 earthquake on March 11 knocked out the Fukushima plant's water-cooling systems, which fuel rods inside several reactors to partially melt and create explosions.
Japan's vice-minister for health Kouhei Otsuka said during the event, "the number of deaths from radiation is zero for the moment." He said the Japanese government evacuated about 85,000 people from the area affected by the disaster.
He said it was crucial for all people who worked at the plant "to be closely monitored."
Akashi said no one has needed medical treatment for radiation poisoning since the accident.
Japanese authorities estimate the amount of radioactive material released into the atmosphere at Fukushima represents about a tenth of the emissions at Chernobyl.
