| Wave Of Layoffs in Wake of Panda
"Seeing a 40% decline in sales since Google adjusted its algorithm, online ergonomic-products retailer Ergo In Demand Inc. in Central Point, Ore., reduced its 17-person staff to five, moved to a 4,500-square-foot office space from one more than double in size and cut $4,000 in monthly software subscriptions. [br][br]Many small but growing Web retailers say they have been punished since Google, which handles nearly two-thirds of all Web searches, moved in late February to weed out "content farms," or sites that post information without attention to quality or by copying text from other sources such as government websites."

| Amazon Cloud Outage Affected Major Sites
We'd like to provide additional color on what were working on right now (please note that we always know more and understand issues better after we fully recover and dive deep into the post mortem).[br][br]A networking event early this morning triggered a large amount of re-mirroring of EBS [Elastic Block Storage] volumes in US-EAST-1. This re-mirroring created a shortage of capacity in one of the US-EAST-1 Availability Zones, which impacted new EBS volume creation as well as the pace with which we could re-mirror and recover affected EBS volumes.[br][br]Additionally, one of our internal control planes for EBS has become inundated such that it's difficult to create new EBS volumes and EBS backed instances. We are working as quickly as possible to add capacity to that one Availability Zone to speed up the re-mirroring, and working to restore the control plane issue.[br][br]We're starting to see progress on these efforts, but are not there yet. We will continue to provide updates when we have them.

| Apple, Google Caught Collecting User Location Data
Wall Street Journal: "...an HTC Android phone collected its location every few seconds and transmitted the data to Google at least several times an hour. It also transmitted the name, location and signal strength of any nearby Wi-Fi networks, as well as a unique phone identifier.[br][br]Until last year, Google was collecting similar Wi-Fi data with its fleet of StreetView cars that map and photograph streets world-wide. The company shut down its StreetView Wi-Fi collection last year after it inadvertently collected e-mail addresses, passwords and other personal information from Wi-Fi networks. The data that Mr. Kamkar observed being transmitted on Android phones didn't include such personal information.

| Yahoo Postpones Roll Out Of Microsoft's Ad Programs Outside of U.S.
Yahoo Inc. launched its Internet search partnership with Microsoft Corp. in the U.S. last year with the hope that the alliance would reverse a long decline in ad revenue it gets from search requests. [br][br]But the deal so far isn't generating as much ad revenue per search as Yahoo envisioned. [br][br]Revenue guarantees included in Yahoo's contract will force Microsoft to make up for part of any shortfalls through March 2012. Yahoo is further protecting itself by postponing its plan to rely on Microsoft's search ad technology outside the U.S. until the problem is fixed.

| Blekko Adds Facebook Comments To Its Search Results
Considering that the Facebook News Feed has become an extremely popular source for link-sharing, updates, and social commentary, and Facebook Connect now practically blankets the Web, the social network is a logical partner for Blekko. And it gives it that much-envied social flair it had been lacking. [br][br]But, how does it work? Using Blekko's Facebook integration is easy: You simply connect with your Facebook account on the Blekko homepage, and go about your normal searching. The major difference, though, is that when you type 'TechCrunch' into the search bar, you'll still the same search results you would otherwise; yet, now, all mentions of TechCrunch in your Facebook news feed (and thereby mentioned in your friends' feeds) populate the right column. Look out!

"On Tuesday, lead counsel Carlo Piana wrote on his blog that the Court of Milan has upheld its earlier decision to order Google to filter out libellous search suggestions. These are the suggestions that pop up in Google's search input bar, proposing what the user might be wanting to search for. [br][br]People searching via Google for Piana's client, who remains publicly unnamed, were apparently presented with autocomplete suggestions including truffatore ("con man") and truffa ("fraud").[br][br]Google lost its bid to claim the protection of the E-Commerce Directive's safe harbour provisions, which partly shields hosting and ISPs from liability for content held on or transmitted over their systems. However, the court viewed the autocomplete suggestions as being produced by Google itself."

Obama calls for action, not delay
Monday - 1/21/2013, 12:01pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says "we must act" even if our work is imperfect. He says we cannot afford to delay.
In a message that could be aimed at the divided Congress where battles await him in his second term, Obama is cautioning against mistaking absolutism for principle, substituting spectacle for politics or treating "name-calling as reasoned debate."
Even so, Obama says that today's accomplishments will be partial, and it will be up to people four, 40 or even 400 years from now to advance them further.
The president spoke at the U.S. Capitol after taking his public oath of office for his second term.

11.9: The Suffix -ive
The Suffix -ive
1. The suffix -ive changes nouns and verbs into adjectives. It adds the meaning "tending to" or "doing" or "being." Each of the following words consists of a verb or noun plus the suffix -ive. Analyze each one. Be sure to show any cases where a silent final <e> was deleted:
|= Noun or verb
|+ Suffix
|= defens
|+ ive
|= mass
|+ ive
|= excess
|+ ive
|= support
|+ ive
|= reflect
|+ ive
|= effect
|+ ive
|= direct
|+ ive
|= exhaust
|+ ive
|= detect
|+ ive
|= narrat
|+ ive
|= disrupt
|+ ive
|= subject
|+ ive
|= act
|+ ive
|= attract
|+ ive
|= retrospect
|+ ive
2. Here are some the other way around. Combine the elements to make adjectives. Show any changes that occur when the elements combine:
|= Adjective
|ex + cess + ive
|= excessive
|intro + spect + ive
|= introspective
|ob + struct + ive
|= obstructive
|retro + spect + ive
|= retrospective
|ob + ject + ive
|= objective
|ad + gress + ive
|= aggressive
|sub + ject + ive
|= subjective
|re + strict + ive
|= restrictive
|re + cept + ive
|= receptive
|per + cept + ive
|= perceptive
|de + fect + ive
|= defective
|ex + ecut + ive
|= executive
|dis + rupt + ive
|= disruptive
3. Some adjectives are formed not by adding -ive to nouns or verbs, but rather to bound stems. Each of the bound stems is related to a verb that is spelled slightly differently from the bound stem. (Usually verb has a <d> where the bound stem has an .) Combine the following bound stems and suffixes to make adjectives, and then in the right hand column write the related verb:
|Bound stem + suffix
|= Adjective
|Related Verb
|extens + ive
|= extensive
|attent + ive
|= attentive
|inclus + ive
|= inclusive
|exclus + ive
|= exclusive
|explos + ive
|= explosive
4. Often an adjective that ends in -ive comes to be used also as a noun. For instance, the verb execute becomes the adjective executive, which is then used as a noun, as in "She is an executive in a computer company." In the tables in this lesson there are at least six adjectives that end in -ive and can also be used as nouns. See how many you can find:
Teaching Notes.
Item 1. All of those <t>'s at the end of the nouns and verbs are echoes from Latin's rather complicated inflectional system. Usually the <t>'s are from the Latin past participle form of a certain class of verbs.
Item 3. Again we have an echo of Latin word structure: Here to echoes the Latin past participle form of a certain class of verbs while the <d> echoes the Latin infinitve form.
Item 4. Students may feel that certain -ive words can be used as nouns, even though the dictionaries show them as only adjectives. The process of conversion from adjective to noun is still going on. Sometimes the dictionaries can't keep up with the changes. If youngsters claim that a word is a noun and the dictionary says that it is an adjective only, ask them to compose a sentence that makes sense using that word as a noun. If they can, then I'd call it a noun, in spite of the dictionaries. For instance, the dictionaries show attentive as adjective only, but to my ears it would be good sense and good grammar to say something like, "Only the attentive will be allowed to outside for recess." This is another example of the richness and flexibility of our language.

Botha must be broke or bored to still
Rick G from Germany
The scores of 100-96 and 99-92 are totally misleading. Pianeta was definitlely not dominating the fight. I enjoyed watching the fight, Botha showing what an experienced vetreran can do! Maybe Pianeta has a longer reach, younger reflexes, better training – despite of that Botha was never in danger, managed to hit him often, look at his face after the bout.Posted September 10, 2012 7:34 am
Wilder vs Pianeta :mrgreen:Posted September 10, 2012 3:27 am
In my opinion, it only shows that Botha sees a fantastic business opportunity when he sees one. SBW against Botha will go PPV in New Zealand and will be followed closely around the world. Botha should win handsomely, and then maybe retire with a final, nice feather under his cap,Posted September 8, 2012 9:54 pm
I watched the fight in Mülheim on Friday night – I think 97-93 was fair. Botha in his prime would have given Pianeta an almight lesson, in fact – the Botha that fought Grant would have as well.Posted September 8, 2012 9:51 pm
Fight Aficionado
Botha looked like a tub of lard and has been KOed repeatedly in recent years. Pianetta evidently can't punch out of a wet paper bag if he's gotta go 10 rounds.Posted September 8, 2012 8:32 pm
It appears that Botha will be taking on Sonnybill Williams in (November?). Which only shows how low a level Botha is nowat and further that a points win, wide or not, shows us nothing at all about Pianeta.Posted September 8, 2012 3:32 pm
I'd like to see Wilder vs Pianeta as well. Usually Pianeta is quite a bit more explosive then this. Though Botha is known for having a decent, but not great chin.Posted September 8, 2012 3:25 pm
How does an undefeated fighter have a record of 27-1-1?Posted September 8, 2012 3:24 pm
Price vs Botha for the Commonwealth title could still generate money if staged in South Africa.Posted September 8, 2012 3:05 pm
Ronald O'Donald
Pianetta's promoter doesn't have the money to entice a big name to fight in Germany. That's why Pianetta gets the aging "B" level fighters and the "C" level dudes: because they're affordable. I wasn't impressed with Pianetta's performance against the very sub-par, overweight, and undertrained Oliver McCall. Truth be told, even the 2010 version of McCall (20 to 30 lbs lighter, and at least halfway trained) would have been too much for Pianetta. My hunch is that Francesco will never make it as far as the Klitschko hit-list. More likely, he'll get knocked off by a tough "B" level fighter who is underestimated (a la Airich's KO over Pala, Bakhtov's wipe out of Kretschman, or Ibragimov's destruction of Timmo Hoffman in 2007).Posted September 8, 2012 2:47 pm
I meant to say Wilder myself…again lots of fights out there for these type of guys lets see them…..Posted September 8, 2012 1:37 pm
This is sad.Pianeta should fight Walker theres no shortage of good fights between guys at this level. Its just that everybody is afraid of being knocked out of the picture.To much bussiness not enough sportsman like behaviour.Posted September 8, 2012 12:47 pm

Regional history
As one of the main repositories documenting the history of western Massachusetts and New England, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives collects primary materials relating to the political, cultural, economic, and intellectual life of our region, and the lives and experiences of its residents.
Concentrated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the collections in SCUA touch on many aspects of the history of the region with developing depth in immigration, labor, work, and industry, social change and movements for social change, and literature and the arts. Among the more valuable collections for the political history of the region is the papers of Silvio O. Conte, Republican congressman from the First District of Massachusetts from 1959-1991. A member of the House Appropriations Committee (and its ranking minority member from 1979-1991), Conte is particularly remembered for his work in Health and Human Services, education, and the environment. SCUA also holds collections for state representatives John Haigis and Maurice Donahue, as well as other figures involved in political life in the Commonwealth.
Although the Department holds materials relating to individual communities in western Massachusetts, the history of the Quabbin watershed is a particular focal point. SCUA collects books printed in the Quabbin region and more generally, in rural New England prior to 1900, as well as manuscript, printed, and photographic collections relating to Quabbin towns.
Significant collections
- Business and industry
- In addition to collections relating to organized labor and the labor movement, SCUA attempts to document the experience of work and the business community to provide a rounded understanding of work life in New England. For a more complete listing, see our guide for Labor, Work, and Industry.
- Civic organizations and charities
- Collections ranging from the records of charitable organizations that provide social services to groups that foster civic engagement and social justice, benevolent and ethnic self-help societies, to organizations that support social and professional communities.
- Family history
- SCUA has a strong interest in "family collections," typically collections that include correspondence, photograph albums, family and farm accounts, and other materials that reveal the every day lives of New Englanders. Researchers on family life and genealogy should note that many collections indexed under other subjects contain personal and family information of some importance. Our printed materials collections include many local and county histories, genealogies, and other resources which may be useful for understanding family life.
- Immigration, demography, and ethnicity
- SCUA is particularly rich in collections documenting the Polish immigrant community in Massachusetts, but our holdings include fine material on Southeast Asian immigrants and African Americans.
- Medical history
- Collections include daybooks and medical accounts of physicians, primarily from the nineteenth century, personal papers of physicians, and some materials on public health policy.
- Military history
- Although SCUA has scattered holdings relating to earlier wars, the department houses interesting materials relating to World War II and the War in Vietnam, with the latter concentrated on the antiwar movement.
- Political life and culture
- The distinctive political culture of Massachusetts and formal and informal political activity in the Commonwealth. Although the collections extend back into the nineteenth century, our focus is primarily on the post-World War II period.
- Printing in rural Massachusetts
- SCUA collects books, broadsides, and other materials printed in rural New England prior to 1900. The collections include a growing collection for the printers in the Quabbin region, Solomon and John Howes, but also includes works printed in small towns throughout Berkshire, Hampshire, Hamden, and Franklin Counties.
- Quabbin Regional collections
- Collections relating to all aspects of life and the legacy of the four towns inundated by the Quabbin Reservoir: Dana, Greenwich, Enfield, and Prescott, as well as surrounding communities such as New Salem, Petersham, and Wendell. In our rare books holdings, we have a number of works printed in Enfield or Greenwich, mostly by Solomon and John Howe.
- Religious life
- Our efforts to document the spiritual lives and religious commitments of New Englanders has resulted in a number of manuscript and archival collections. Our social change holdings include a number of collections on spiritually-motivated social reform, and our rare book holdings include hundreds of published sermons and other printed materials relating to religious life in the region.

Western Massachusetts Library Club
Western Massachusetts Library Club Records, 1898-2006.
Call no.: MS 492
Situated in a region known for its progressive spirit, the Western Massachusetts Library Club was established in 1898 to respond to the unique needs of librarians overseeing small or rural libraries, and to foster camaraderie among local colleagues. Almost immediately, however, the club expanded its focus, taking positions on issues ranging from modern library practices to national legislation and leading the way in the expansion of services for public libraries, all while maintaining its identity as an advocate for local libraries and librarians.
The collection is richest in records that document the early history of the club including detailed meeting minutes, news clippings, programs, and circulars. Beginning in the late 1960s, the club's activities are captured primarily through membership lists and meeting notices and programs. Taken together, the records trace the growth of the WMLC for more than a century from its establishment to the present.

Rotundo, Barbara
Association for Gravestone Studies Collection
Barbara Rotundo Photograph Collection, ca.1970-2004.
Call no.: PH 050
A long-time member of the English Department at the University of Albany, Barbara Rotundo was a 1942 graduate in economics at Mount Holyoke College. After the death of her husband, Joseph in 1953, Rotundo became one of the first female faculty members at Union College, and after earning a master's degree in English at Cornell University and a doctorate in American Literature from Syracuse University, she served as an associate professor of English at the University of Albany, where she founded one of the first university writing programs in the United States. Avocationally, she was a stalwart member of the Association for Gravestone Studies, helping to broaden its scope beyond its the Colonial period to include the Victorian era. Her research included the rural cemetery movement, Mount Auburn Cemetery, white bronze (zinc) markers, and ethnic folk gravestones. Her research in these fields was presented on dozens of occasions to annual meetings of AGS, the American Culture Association, and The Pioneer America Society. In 1989, after residing in Schenectady for forty-six years, she retired to Belmont, NH, where she died in December 2004.
Consisting primarily of thousands of color slides (most digitized) and related research notebooks, the Rotundo collection is a major visual record of Victorian grave markers in the United States. The notebooks and slides are arranged by state, with an emphasis on the eastern states, and white bronze (zinc) markers also are represented in photographs and a separate research notebook. The collection also includes several rare or privately published books.

Brooks, Burt V.
Burt V. Brooks Photograph Collection, 1889-1934.
Call no.: PH 060
The artist Burt Vernon Brooks was one of the outstanding chroniclers of daily life in the Swift River Valley before it was inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Born in Brimfield, Mass., in 1849 and raised in Monson, Brooks moved to Greenwich with his family in the 1870s, where he worked on the family farm. At some unclear point before he turned 40, Brooks became active as an artist, painting local homes and scenery and taking photographs of the landscape, residents, and daily life in the Quabbin region. A prolific photographer, he was, in the words of historian Donald W. Howe, "hardly ever seen without his camera strapped to his back," remaining active for decades. Three years after following his second wife to the west, Brooks died in Los Angeles in 1934.
The great majority of the 92 photographs in this collection are 5×7″ dry plate glass negatives taken by Brooks in the earliest years of the twentieth century, documenting the houses and people of Greenwich. Brooks' work includes landscapes, houses, and a significant series of images of the Hillside School, but some of his best works are studio portraits, images of people at home or with their carriages, and posed scenes of children at play or at work. The collection also includes eight images by Brooks at Enfield, Greenwich, and Dana that are the property of the Swift River Valley Historical Society, and six images taken by Chetwynd and Pike in the Quabbin region to document properties slated for removal.

Dall Family
Dall Family Correspondence, 1810-1843.
Call no.: MS 282
Chiefly correspondence from various Dall family members in Boston, Massachusetts, particularly father William Dall, Revolutionary War veteran, merchant, businessman and former Yale College writing master, to sons William and James Dall in Baltimore, Maryland. Letters of son James Dall, then a student at Harvard University, provide accounts of Boston political and cultural activities of the time.
The correspondence documents the daily changes in the life of a merchant's family in the early 19th century, reflecting anxiety over trade restrictions, embargoes, and other economic disruptions resulting from the War of 1812. The elder Dall (William 3rd) and much of his family lived in Boston, but two sons lived in Baltimore. The bulk of the correspondence consists of letters to the younger son, William 4th, who was then apprenticed to a Baltimore merchant. The letters of son James Dall, then a student at Harvard University, provide accounts of Boston political and cultural activities.

Enfield (Mass.)
Enfield (Mass.) Collection, 1800-1939.
Call no.: MS 010
Situated at the confluence of the east and west branches of the Swift River in western Massachusetts, Enfield was the largest and southernmost of the four towns inundated in 1939 to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Incorporated as a town in 1816, Enfield was relatively prosperous in the nineteenth century on an economy based on agriculture and small-scale manufacturing, reaching a population of just over 1,000 by 1837. After thirty years of seeking a suitably large and reliable water supply for Boston, the state designated the Swift River Valley as the site for a new reservoir and with its population relocated, Enfield was officially disincorporated on April 28, 1938.
The records of the town of Enfield, Mass., document nearly the entire history of the largest of four towns inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. The core of the collection consists of records of town meetings and of the activities of the town Selectmen, 1804-1938, but there are substantial records for the Enfield Congregational Church. The School Committee, Overseers of the Poor, the town Library Association, and groups such as the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Bethel Masonic Lodge.

Women's organisations and civil society groups on Saturday urged the President not to sign the ordinance to amend the law related to sexual violence, which was proposed by the cabinet on Friday. They said the measure was cosmetic and demanded that a series of bills covering all the recommendations of Justice Verma Committee be introduced in Parliament.
"What they are doing is enhancing punishment by a few years. All the provisions that were meant to create accountability have been ignored," Vrinda Grover, women activist and a noted lawyer told DNA.
The government on Friday had issued an ordinance based on recommendations by the Justice Verma Committee, which will come into effect as soon as president Pranab Mukherjee signs it. The ordinance has left out crucial issues such as defining marital rape as a crime. It also ignored the suggestion that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act be reviewed so that sexual crimes committed by people from the armed forces be tried under criminal law. "All the recommendations that strike at the heart of the issue have been dropped," said Kavita Krishnan, secretary of the All India Progressive Women's Association.
Responding to the criticism, Minister of External Affairs, Salman Khurshid, said, "Bringing in an ordinance does not mean that consultation cannot take place when the actual bill is brought into the parliament."
Women's groups ask Pranab to scrap ordinanceThe members, however, questioned why an emergency measure was required. "We wonder what objective will be served by such a hasty, non-transparent measure less than three weeks before the parliamentary session, since the proposed law will not retrospectively apply to the Delhi gang rape case," Krishnan said.
Talking about gender neutral perpetrator for sexual assault, Grover said that it is a slap on the face of women. "Not only do we not have any protection against sexual violence, but now women can even be falsely implicated in it."
Madhu Mehra, a women's rights lawyer, said, "Rape as we know it is a crime largely defined as male violence against women, with absolutely no evidence of women as perpetrators. This ordinance betrays the trust of scores of Indian men and women who marched the streets of Delhi and other cities demanding an end to the impunity with which sexual violence is committed."
However, former IPS officer and activist Kiran Bedi, welcomed the ordinance, "It's a beginning. But there's still a long way to go, as the Justice Verma recommendations are a holistic correction," she said. The brother of the gang-rape victim too welcomed the ordinance because it allows awarding the death penalty in extreme cases.

Most general managers, regardless of the sport, will tell you that a good trade is one that works out well for both teams.
But how many times does that happen?
The biggest fear for any GM is that a player he traded will reach new heights in another uniform, or show a dimension his team never quite got out of him. Chicago clubs are familiar with this phenomenon, and the Bears are especially vulnerable given their poor track record of developing players.
But looking forward to this offseason, they can't be afraid to pull the trigger. In addition to the Bears' free-agency wish list -- a priority for any front-office staff on a short leash -- they must improve over past performances in the draft room. And particularly in a year in which the team lacks a first- or second-round choice in a draft rich with talent, Jerry Angelo must look hard for opportunities to get some extra picks.
Clearly, this is not a team with a ton of trade value. Lance Briggs, Jay Cutler and possibly Brian Urlacher are pretty much it in terms of first-round potential return. With Friday looming as the first day of trading in the NFL, Bears tight end Greg Olsen, a former first-round pick, is obvious trade bait if Angelo can get a second-round pick in return.
But why stop there? Sure, Olsen is a good candidate as an awkward fit in new offensive coordinator Mike Martz's system, and a player -- while highly skilled -- who has not yet wowed anyone in Chicago in his first three seasons.
But how about Devin Hester? His name has been floated before and typically met with resistance by Bears fans as a player who has wowed us, and who still appears to have untapped potential as a receiver. Like Olsen, however, Hester is expendable.
I never thought I'd write that, and even while advocating the Bears see what they can get for Hester, there is every reason to believe that it's a move that could come back to haunt them.
That said, Angelo has to see what he can get in return for Hester, and anyone offering a second-round pick should be forwarded the paperwork before hanging up the phone. And given the fact that Angelo has never had a deep appreciation for wide receivers, believing from the time he didn't want to pay Bobby Engram that bodies can be pretty much plugged in at the position, this shouldn't be a problem.
As a receiver, Hester showed just enough growth this season to merit enough interest there. And as a returner, it is unlikely anyone has forgotten his Hall of Fame-caliber 11 combined career kick returns for touchdowns, fourth-best in NFL history, though none coming after December of 2007.
When Martz was first hired by the Bears, the generously listed 5-foot-11 Hester said he envisioned himself in the role of five-time Pro Bowler Torry Holt, while Martz seems to see him more in the nonstarting slot position of 5-foot-10 slot receiver Az-Zahir Hakim, who was also the team's punt returner.
During the 1999 Rams' Super Bowl season, Hakim caught 36 passes for 677 yards and eight touchdowns. Holt, a 33-year-old free agent who the Bears passed on last year, recently said he'd love to play under Martz again. Holt caught 53 passes for 788 yards and six touchdowns in '99, but went on to have six consecutive seasons of 1,300 yards receiving.
But Martz liked the matchups and mismatches inside that Hakim commanded and could see Hester's speed taking advantage of those as well, while also advocating that Hester see more action on special teams. And on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000 last month, Hester said if he had to cut back on his receiving and become more of a returner, that would be fine with him.
The problem is that when Hester signed his four-year, $30 million extension, it was as a starting wide receiver with bonuses tied to being a No. 1 pass-catcher. Financially, the Bears still need Hester to become a No. 1 receiver, and Hester would benefit as well.
But here's the thing. Though Hester had a solid 2009 season despite year-end injuries -- 57 catches for 757 yards and three touchdowns -- there are now three solid Bears receivers for Martz to plug into his system with Earl Bennett, Devin Aromashodu and Johnny Knox. And we still don't know enough about Juaquin Iglesias to make a definitive judgment.
In the return game, both Bennett (with a 10.2 punt return average and one touchdown) and Knox (29.0 kickoff return average, one touchdown, just off the NFL lead and a late addition to the Pro Bowl as a returner) had better results last season than Hester (7.8-yard punt return average and a 22.3-yard kickoff-return average). And they're more than capable going forward. Danieal Manning also had a respectable 26.6-yard average on kickoff returns.
The fact that Hester seems so willing all of a sudden to go back to the return game almost suggests a sense of uncertainty himself.
Hester would not be easy to part with. Selecting him in the second round of the 2006 draft, Angelo initially took some criticism for taking a player without a position. But while Angelo looked like a genius when Hester took the opening kick of Super Bowl XLI 92 yards for a touchdown, and the South Florida product has established himself among the all-time great Bears performers, if he can bring a top draft pick or even a midrounder and a solid offensive lineman, then it is worth saying goodbye.
It could actually work out well for all concerned.

Dale's unbeaten home record looked in jeopardy with Aidy Boothroyd's well-organised side leading 2-1 and proving tough to break down as the second half drew to a close.
But Michael Rose's 88th-minute free-kick and a neat finish from George Donnelly two minutes later turned the game on its head and handed Dale their fifth successive victory on home turf.
The visitors caught Dale cold with a stunning opening goal just 40 seconds in. Luke Norris, the striker on loan from Brentford, collected the ball 25 yards from goal and sent a dipping shot over Josh Lillis.
The Cobblers almost doubled their advantage when Darren Carter got the better of Oliver Lancashire and fired towards the bottom corner, Lillis at full stretch diving to his left to deny the Northampton captain.
Rochdale levelled on 26 minutes when a loose header from Paul Reid dropped invitingly for Ian Henderson and he drove a low shot wide of Matt Duke.
But Boothroyd's team regained the lead in the 38th minute when Carter fed Stuart Dallas and he raced clear down the right before flashing a fierce effort past Lillis.
Dale were unable to break down a well-organised Northampton side until Rose sent a low free kick round the side of the Cobblers' wall and inside Duke's near post.
And the hosts were not finished there, Donnelly racing through the middle and firing home the winner as the game entered time added on.

Netflix costumers are so entitled!
You're absolutely right, you know. It's Netflix's fault that consumers got "entitled." Netflix set the expectations, and consumers followed along, as they are wont to do, especially when the expectations are so attractive (free stuff, whee!!!) Marketers love it when consumers follow their lead like a pack of sheep. That's what Netflix's consumers did, but oh no, this time the sheep have fangs.
Netflix violated a very basic rule of marketing, that you don't set a price so low that you can't maintain it. And if you simply got the price wrong and got blindsided later on (even if movie studios being "greedy" about streaming should have been predictable), then you need to prepare for the PR shitstorm that your lack of foresight will unleash and de-fang the sheep before they bite.
It's that last part - lack of preparation for the PR shitstorm - that was Netflix's biggest blunder. Even if they couldn't predict Hollywood greed, they definitely should have predicted the ire of consumers who have been made to feel entitled.

Maybe Netflix should start streaming porn. That would bump their subscriber numbers a bit.
I know you meant that as a joke, but it turns out the porn industry is headed towards zero-value content even faster than digital media in general, probably because it's so easy for amateurs to compete and undermine the entire business model. So fans of free amateur porn are going to be very happy indeed.
I never said it was hard to find, but let's be honest: most of it is shit, especially on the streaming sites. For any quality at all, you have to turn to torrents, which lose the convenience of streaming.
What you need is a Netflix-style "ranking" site, which filters the porn in the same hive-mind way that Netflix does. That will clear away all the "crap," however you define it.
If that doesn't exist, then someone needs to start it. It could support itself pretty well via nothing more than advertising and maybe some DVD sales, for as long as that business lasts.
