Is your networking bringing you a steady stream of new business? If not, it could be because you are making a few fundamental mistakes.
Businesses spend a lot of time creating a sales pitch that is compelling and interesting so that a prospect will buy. All too often though, business people make the mistake of using the same pitch when networking. You're not selling to your network; you're teaching your network how to sell on your behalf. Don't pitch your product; pitch your pitch.
Understand who benefits the most from your products and services and then learn to describe them clearly and succinctly. Seek to help a new contact recognise potential prospects from within their circle. The more specific you can be about your target audience, the more likely they are to think of someone they know that might need your products or services. Explain how you could serve those people well and encourage contacts to talk about you at the next available opportunity.
People often talk about having a unique selling proposition but in reality most products and services are not dramatically dissimilar or genuinely unique. So it's important to highlight why a customer should choose you over your competitors. In general, that comes from who you are and the approach you take.
Creating a story that highlights your strengths means you will be remembered. Raw facts are not remembered, stories are – stories that people can relate to and empathise with and stories that show how you have helped others. That's what will get your contacts talking about you.
It's also important to position your business within the marketplace. For example, your target market may be different or the subtleties of your service may differ from competitors. Those differences help your target market to choose you. Tell that story and you and your business will be more memorable as a result.
Remember, your network is not your market.
When you're networking you're not selling – you're teaching your network how to sell for you, you're teaching your network what makes you stand out and you're teaching your network who is best-suited to your products and services.
Ideally you are helping them to identify one or two people for whom a referral would be sensible. At the same time, when you network you should be seeking similar information from your network. You get out of your network what you put in. If you want others to share their knowledge and refer their contacts to you, it's reasonable to assume that they are looking for the same kindness from you too.
I once helped a consultant write a proposal for a big project. It was worth a lot of money to him. It would have been his biggest contract.
The proposal we wrote was really good. But he didn't win the work.
When he asked why not, they said they were so underwhelmed by his covering email, that they didn't feel they could trust him with such an important project.
Their exact words were: "If you don't take care of little things like emails when you know we're watching, how can we trust you to take care of big things when you don't think we are?"
I asked him to send me the email in question. It said…
Title: FYI
See attached
Cheers, NAME
How utterly dreadful. And what a waste.
We'd created this wonderful proposal. If the customer had just read it, the consultant would have had an outstanding chance of winning the business. But all our effort was ruined by the first thing they saw.
So, what about your covering emails? How good are they? Do you put much time into making them brilliant? Do you put any?
The good news: there are many ways to craft a good one. Here's one that works very well…
Title: John, here's the email you requested about [insert topic]
As [promised/requested], I attach the [communication] about [topic].
You'll see it contains some critical points. In particular:
As agreed, I'll ring you at [time] on [date] to discuss how we should proceed. If you want to discuss before then, please buzz my mobile — [number].
Best, Andy
You'll notice:
Let's face it, it doesn't take long to write an email like this. It only takes a few minutes. But if you don't get it right, you might find you've wasted all the hours you've spent on your proposal.

What do Baader, McIlhenny, International SOS, Hoganas, Tetra, Bobcat, Gallagher, Seas Getter, Hamamatsu, Arnold and Richter, Petzl, Lantal, Tandberg, WET, De La Rye, Belfor, Ulvac, Gartner and EOS have in common?
They are all companies you have probably never heard of. They have global market shares of over 50% in their sectors and have been around for a long time.
These are the "hidden champions" or "supernichists" according to Hermann Simon, author of Hidden Champions of the Twenty-First Century: The Success Strategies of Unknown World Market Leaders.
These businesses have embedded themselves in the value chain of their clients; and they are the undisputed market leaders in their niche. They focus on narrow, small markets and become the best in that market.
Their strategy is to dominate market niches by transforming general markets in which they are a nobody into market niches where they are somebody.
They are mostly family businesses. They are often based in rural communities. They have a long term perspective. They have CEOs that have been there for over 25 years. The CEO is most likely to be the owner. They are customer-focused and they look after their staff extremely well. They invest in training and innovation. They are ambitious but they stick to what they do best. Above all, they deliver superior quality.
All of the companies have an international focus. They focus on China, Russia, India. They know that Japan is a source of innovation ("What happens in Tokyo today happens in the rest of the world tomorrow"). All their managers speak at least three languages, and increasingly their people reflect the diversity of their client base.
Approximately 70% of these hidden champions only sell directly and maintain intensive, lasting relationships with their customers and suppliers. They have five times more contact with regular contacts then "normal" businesses.
They spend double the average spend on R&D. Because they involve staff in vision, values and strategy, innovation is easier. And of course they involve their customers in the innovation process. The main focus is on ongoing improvement versus breakthrough innovations.
The typical "hidden champion" is a one-product, one-market company with limited organisational complexity. The top management is very lean and leaders tend to be promoted from within. They have high-performance cultures and are intolerant of shirkers. Shirkers get fired. If you stay, you stay for a long time. The average length of service is 37 years — which allows the organisation to retain knowledge and expertise.
The message is simple — you can do it too. Hidden champions teach us that instead of managing only one great thing brilliantly, good management means doing many small things better than the competitors. The sum of many small advantages ultimately leads to success. Genius is not required.

Recently I decided to run some of the articles I had previously sent to prospective employers through a plagiarism checker. As a professional writer, I take copyright law extremely seriously.
Unfortunately, I found that one of the companies had published one of the pieces that I had sent to them with my application. Although I was pleased they enjoyed the article, I was annoyed that they had flouted copyright law by not seeking my permission. I contacted them and it was quickly taken down.
In theory, everything online is covered by copyright law. This blog on Law Donut has more detail. However, the fact is that millions of people are flouting this legislation.
According to 2012 research by Ofcom, almost 50% of internet users cannot accurately say whether they have downloaded, shared or streamed copyrighted content. And many of the respondents admitted to knowingly copying material because it was convenient or free to do so.
If you regularly publish articles, images or videos online, you will probably have these stolen at some stage. Often, these incidents are misunderstandings, as many people don't understand that material in the public domain is not always for public use.
Social media has made it incredibly easy for videos and images to be reproduced quickly. Take Pinterest. Much as I love this network, most of the images on it are arguably copyright violations. As Pinterest says itself, its pins are "for good stuff you find anywhere around the web."
If you are concerned about people grabbing your images or using screen grabbing tools to access them, you can protect yourself in the following ways:

The Scottish Independence vote was a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was a triumph of democracy and 97% of Scotland's citizens are now on the electoral roll. This means that there are two real winners from the referendum, the people who organise the jury service (97% of people are now eligible for jury duty) and marketers.
Not only do we have almost all of Scotland's population's data available to access on the electoral roll, but we also get to examine a marketing case study like no other.
The referendum was an example of two very different styles of marketing. The Yes campaign, headed up by Alex Salmond, was all about emotion. The Better Together campaign, headed by Alistair Darling, was all about rational considerations.
Despite the victory for the Better Together campaign, it's not a clear that they ran the better campaign. The reality is that both campaigns were lacklustre in some ways.
The Yes campaign made a basic marketing mistake. It was all spin and no substance. You might think that's a bit unfair, but when your campaign is basically the marketing equivalent of trying to re-create the "They cannae take our freedom" speech from Braveheart and you get accused of lying about things, then it's a sign that on some level you have failed. In the end, their campaign lacked solid foundations and cost them victory.
Emotional appeals aren't everything. You need facts and figures.
The Better Together campaign was about the rational. Alistair Darling quizzed Alex Salmond about the economy, what currency we would use, what the impact on jobs would be. This is important, of course, but it's boring. There wasn't any emotional appeal. It was a total snoozefest. This failure meant that polls started to show leads for the Yes campaign and caused Better Together to panic.
No matter what YouGov says, quantitative surveys aren't all they are cracked up to be. Dan Hodges put it best during the referendum when he pointed out that the poll which showed the Yes campaign had its first lead was the result of just 13 people saying they would be voting yes. If you'd asked them on a different day, got them in a different mood, or asked others, the results could have changed drastically and the entire narrative of the campaign would have been very different.
With surveys, you need to back up the data. Look at search trends and combine this with some qualitative analysis from interviews and focus groups to get a much stronger idea of what your results mean.
The turnout for Scotland in the 2010 General Election was almost 64%. For the Independence Referendum it was almost 90%. What's more, 97% of Scottish citizens registered to vote. In marketing speak, 97% of Scotland entered the sales funnel and 85% of them responded. I'd kill for those sorts of stats.
So, what's the difference between the referendum and the general election? The referendum was seen as important — it would have a tangible effect on people's lives.
That's why you need to find out what matters to your target audience and use it as a hook to solve their pains.

While the key sales period for a seasonal brand might only span three months of the year, optimising your site, securing advertising and mitigating bounce rate begins long before your customers start shopping.
With the first inklings of Christmas hype only a few weeks away, it's not too late to implement the following suggestions and increase traffic during your key sales period.
While your customers don't want to hear about Christmas in June, advertising slots, opportunities for collaborative competitions and potential brand advocates are already primed for the festive period.
Determine your key sales period in Google Analytics and schedule coverage, advertisements and promotions which straddle these dates and overlap by a few weeks either side — it's surprising how many people will buy a Christmas tree in the January sales.
Custom landing pages are valuable for both organic search and increasing the relevancy of your pay-per-click (PPC) ads.
Optimise your landing page by including keywords and phrases in the title and include popular search terms within your website copy. Once your page is optimised, ensure that users have a pleasant shopping experience by making the purchasing process as simple as possible.
Allow users to sort results and provide an intuitive search function if budget permits. Highlighting your delivery terms (i.e. free delivery/next day delivery) also appeals to shoppers in a rush.
User-testing of your landing pages, your mobile site and your checkout process should be carried out before your sales period really kicks in. If you don't have the budget for conversion rate optimisation, consider asking your own team to process test orders and highlight anything that could put customers off.
As of 2nd September, Product Listing Ads (PLA) on Google have been replaced by Shopping Campaigns. Google Shopping Campaigns allow you to bulk edit product groups and they offer access to your inventory and product feed information in Adwords.
While Shopping Campaigns are designed to respond to past complexities associated with PLA campaigns, users should familiarise themselves with the new features before increasing their PPC spend.
Brands often make the mistake of posting only when it suits them (i.e. 9-5) and they forget that the majority of their target audience will be active on social media during evenings and weekends. Once you know when your fans are interacting, you can schedule your posts accordingly.

My whole family enjoyed this recipe. To make short cuts I used pre-shreded coleslaw and I added cashews because I love texture in my food. I would like to try and marinate the chiken a little bit longer next time to increase flavor.I also did not have any ketchup so I used bbq sauce. This recipe will be filed away for future use!
I didn't make the slaw, but the chicken was very good. Served it with some rice and a green salad. I agree that while not spectacular, this dish is good and makes a great weeknight dinner.
The chicken didn't stand out enough with the salad. I did like the whole dish a lot - it just wasn't to die for.
This dish was great. I'd recommend not making the slaw too far in advance (they suggest up to 4 hours, which is too long)as the vegetables have such a high water content. I prefer the crunchiness of the slaw to accompany the chicken.

The Big Picture Learning design is a dynamic approach to learning, doing, and thinking that has been changing the lives of students, educators, and entire communities since 1995. The design components are based on three foundation principles:
The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires that students be assessed each year in reading and math, grades 3 through 8, plus once in high school. In Washington State, students in grades 3-8 now take the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) tests in May; and high school students take the High School Proficiency Exams (HSPE) in March and April. State tests are intended to assess whether students have sufficiently mastered a set of grade-level standards for a particular subject. In other words, "How many students have learned what they need to know – and can demonstrate that learning?" Scores for the MSP or HSPE are reported in 4 levels: "Exceeds Standard," "Meets Standard," "Below Standard," and "Well Below Standard."

Same issue here.
Host = Solaris Express 11 64bit Guest = Windows Server 2003 32bit (Windows Home Server)
Host has 4TB zpool with a zfs block device volume created on top of it, then converted to raw vmdk. Guest has 200GB vdi mounted as SATA 0 as boot drive, and this 4TB vmdk mounted as SAS 0.
Booting guest and manipulating the 4TB drive as a MBR type partition table (limited to 2TB) works fine. When I convert to GPT and reboot (even manually selecting the 200GB SATA as boot drive) it fails to boot with error:

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to invalid
Booting off a MBR formatted disk bigger than 2T doesn't work. MBR partitioning doesn't support more than 2T, so you're asking for something which is impossible. See the problems with the 3T hard disks which just came out. Ask Microsoft if you don't believe what I'm saying. They support GPT only for non-boot drives in systems using a traditional BIOS. Any OS which uses the BIOS to access such big disks is severely broken.
EFI would in principle support booting off a disk partitioned with GPT, however this isn't a supported config at the moment for anything but MacOSX.

- Status changed from closed to reopened
- Resolution invalid deleted
I do reopen this ticket because the devteam did not read pretty well the ticket.
I do have the same problem with FreeBSD 8 and pure GPT partitioning. There is no MBR in such case at all. The GPT comes in to solve the 2T limit, as the 4 primary partition limits. The previous poster did mention, he started with MBR, but converted his disk to GPT.
I did test this with a image from a real system. The image does run perfectly on other hypervisors, but Virtualbox fails with the error.
It seems virtualbox fails in FreeBSD x64 to use a GPT format with the error:
FATAL: int13_harddisk: function 42. Can't use 64 bits lba
comment:4 Changed 4 years ago by peetaur
I have the same problem, but my boot disk is not large; it is only 256 MB, with a GPT label.
I was able to boot with 2 256 GB disks and 5 3TB virtual disks attached, but after adding the ZFS file system to the larger disks (which I assume must be setting up a 64 bit LBA), the next boot failed. The large disks actually seemed to work perfectly fine before the reboot, since the OS was handling it rather than VirtualBox. VirtualBox shouldn't need to read my 3TB disks at all. (FYI: The small root system is also ZFS, and booted properly before adding more disks)
Certainly you could add a simple feature, to just let us boot off of the supported small disk we select, forgetting about whatever errors/lack of support there might be on/for the other disks.
comment:5 Changed 10 months ago by thesnaken
I know this an old thread, but it has never been properly addressed and evidently the bug still exists in VB 4.3.16. I have a FreeBSD with root-on-ZFS which works fine if it's the only drive. When I attach my 4TB drive as a raw device, the VM starts up fine but only the first time, i.e., before any geometry is created on that raw drive. However, once I put a GPT on it and add a ZFS partition, reboot results in:
int13_harddisk: function 42. Can't use 64bits lba
I tried attaching the drive to a SATA and a SCSI controllers as suggested elsewhere but to no avail. The raw drive has no boot code so there is no reason for VB to even look at that drive at boot time.
I'd really appreciate if someone could look into this. I'm trying to set up a NAS with a ZFS mirror over two physical drives which is not possible at the moment.

Afghan women: the fight for survival
05 Jan 2013 08:33 GMT | Politics, Africa, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan
Two youths were killed and seven people injured in a grenade attack at a refugee camp in northeastern Kenya, the country's Red Cross has reported.
The explosion at the Dagahaley refugee camp in Dadaab occurred on Friday evening at a popular restaurant, normally frequented by locals.
"The seven victims sustained multiple shrapnel wounds from the grenade blast in different parts of their bodies and were rushed to hospital, where they are still admitted and receiving treatment," the Red Cross said in a statement.
The Dadaab refugee camp complex, the world's biggest, lies about 100km from the border with Somalia.
"We lost two people and others have been injured," Philip Tuimur, the regional police chief, said. Another police source said the grenade was thrown from a moving vehicle.
Al-Shabab violence
Dadaab has sheltered Somalis fleeing violence and drought for more than 20 years, and their numbers currently stand at nearly half a million.
Attacks have increased within Kenya since Nairobi sent army soldiers into southern Somalia to fight Somalia's al-Qaeda-linked Shabab fighters in late 2011.
Similar attacks and cross-border raids in the region have been blamed on the fighters or their Kenyan supporters, who have vowed revenge.
The Shabab still control large parts of southern Somalia, despite African Union troops, allied Somali forces and Ethiopian soldiers having wrested control of several key towns.
Kenyan troops, now integrated into the African Union force, seized the Shabab bastion of Kismayo, a key southern Somali port, in September.
That led to warnings of retaliation from both the Islamist insurgents and their Kenyan supporters.
But al-Shabab have denied involvement in previous similar bombings.
Displaced Somalis
Violence in Kenya, ranging from attacks blamed on Islamists, inter-communal clashes and a police crackdown on a coastal separatist movement, have raised concerns over security ahead of elections due in March 2013.
Five years ago, elections descended into deadly post-poll killings that shattered Kenya's image as a beacon of regional stability.
In Somalia in 2011, famine caused by extreme drought exacerbated by conflict claimed tens of thousands of lives and affected more than four million people, according to the United Nations.
Over a million Somalis are displaced inside the country, while over a million are refugees in neighbouring nations, according to UN figures.

WOOOW! Short a company that is making serious money, single digit metric on P/E fundamentals, growing user base... and now you want to short it when it is down on reaction?
"On potential partners. The company will keep them informed of sales as well as insurance updates."
The company needs to keep shareholders informed FIRST!!!! We are the fkin owners of the company. Not the fkin potential partners. Which business school did you guys attend? DAMNITTT!! You fools are r3tard2d!!!!
That is B--Shh!! The volume would tell you if it was following the market. 50% average volume suggests no one cared for what they had to say today. There was also zero pre-market trade despite the fact that the numbers were released at 7am.
Idiotic excuses made for this company is just astounding.
It didn't take you long to realize that the only way to relate to these clowns is to call them names. You gotta laugh it off, I swear! lol
Biotia then suggests that you are scaring off investors and short. If you don't agree with him, then you're short. This is fkin $1.15 stock for crying out loud!!! Who the hell would waste time shorting that??
Herd and penny shifting mentality on this board is fricken frightening! No wonder the PPS stinks!
Cut the fkin BS!! Which part of this morning's call had "incredible numbers"?
I'm starting to think many of clowns actually work for the company directly.
We have so many numbers for centers and doctors. Can we get the numbers that actually count? i.e. How many patients are on the waiting list for the certified doctors?
" It was odd that they had it posted on their website for April 29th, and then they pulled it, ... only to announce their results on the 30th, an update on "progress", and then instead not have a CC mentioned."
How many times have they pulled inexperienced shh like this on us? This is a terrible management team with no tactical awareness. You can forget strategic awareness. So many missteps, missed conferences, never forthcoming and the list goes on.
They keep talking about opened centers. I mean seriously, who gives a shhh about open centers. Target opened 133 stores in Canada but was that the full story? We all know how that ended.
What they need to be doing is quantifying demand. What is defines demand? 10, 1,000, 10,000?
Then you have a cash position and the insane burn rate. Heck, admin expenses alone was $4.3million.
There are way too many questions for these guys but of course no one would ever hold them accountable so they would keep walking home with their nice salary.
Obviously - YOURS!!! You're smart enough to figure that was a mistake.
Be truthful in your assessment and get out of the mentality that anyone that calls it what it is is short. Keep it real as a true shareholder should, Pharm!!
Meh! Deal with that post. It has more truth in it than all our posts combined!!!
No no! Not for you and I. But for the management team and their underwriters that they share bed with.
"We believe that our current resources will permit us to continue to execute on our commercial strategy as we develop the options we have to strengthen our balance sheet in support of our growth strategy into 2016."
First, commercial strategy should have been in place right after AdCom. It is idiotic of the team to now be suggesting that the whole of 2015 is more or less going to be about planning. We should be selling the fkin product by now.
For those of you sitting there micro-researching this company, I cannot even begin to illustrate how misguided many of you are. You pretend to be well versed in your analysis of what constitutes a great opportunity and you have decided that ETRM is the absolute apex-opportunity.
Well sadly, you're all too naive to even save yourselves of daily torture.
OH YES, I am LONG! But I damn well understand and have long accepted the fact that I made the wrong decision investing in ETRM at the time that I did (May 2014). This will continue to be a cash cow for the management until further notice. I can hear you whisper: "Why is he not selling?" I am not selling because I'm holding onto that faint "hope". That market can indeed pick a day and a stock to send parabolic for no real reason based on fundamentals. Besides, I've already written off my bad hand in this.
For the newcomers; do not follow the messages you read on this board urging you to buy as soon as possible. This company is dire straits and burning through cash with ATM to get them out of jail. Sadly, ATM means bad news for shareholders.
In close, don't get your hopes up thinking you would make sizable income from this stock anytime soon. Manage your risks accordingly and read the writings on the wall. Do not let overzealous posters drag you into this without first understanding and embracing the risks that come with it.
It gets tiring, Montana. lol.. When you hear the same shhh for a whole year holding a position that is deep in the red and living through all what should have been great catalysts, the same ol' "future is bright" shhh based on macro information gets tiring.
I've been following BIND for a while but the PPS ran away from me. But this morning I was able to pick a good block. It could still technically go lower to $5 when I look at the chart. But in this game, you can never really pick the exact bottom. So I'm fine with around 20% further downside risk but I'm look for greater upside.
Reading your most of your ridiculous posts help me gain weight so I can justify buying vBloc.
Perhaps you guys are idiots for trying to figure this out at the macro level with each second of the day. GESSS!!! Get a job, fools and stop stalking the stock!
This is small-cap biotech investment 101, Mark. It has nothing to do with "hope" and future. For every investment made, especially in small cap biotech, there is always a risk. The problem here is that not a single soul on this board ever considers the risk but are all too happy to claim that the stock is undervalued. What exactly supports that claim of "undervalued" stock when there is no revenue?
Yes, there is "hope" for the future. But that hope is perfectly hedged against execution, positive cashflow and high demand for vBloc. Visit any biotech board and you're met with overzealous estimates - heck foolish Ade even posted $300 and still got entertained. GALE, RGDX, DSCO, KERX etc are all plagued with zealots. Even when CLDX rallied from $2.05 close to $40, yet many held on expecting that it would reach $120 by end of 2014 based on their calculations. It eventually retreated to $10 before bouncing again in Q1 this year.
The point is, I've been in this game long enough to know most posters blow smoke and often neglect the risks involved in dealing with a company that is still trying to find its feet. Number of centers opened is not indicative of how many surgeries they would perform or how that translates into profitable business and dramatic PPS appreciation for shareholders.
So yes, I still have my shares @ $1.44. But I am very pragmatic in sitting here thinking that somehow this would magically turn into $10 without proof from management that - 1. there is plan for positive cashflow, and 2. There is quantifiable demand for the product. We are in the dark on both points. Therefore, caution is required until further notice.
For all that it is worth, I do hope many here are smart enough to not put more than 20% of their cash into any small cap biotech. Especially ETRM!!
Good luck!
It is astounding how many numbers are thrown around on this board yet not a single message to discuss cashflow issue. As a matter of fact, you would be perceived as a short if you ever bring that up.
Meh! Wackos throwing numbers around are rarely right in this game. Those who sit tight without crazy expectations end up as the real winners.
Day in, day out, everyone on this insane board throws in ridiculous projections without ever considering the risks involved in a market place. Crazy board full of wackos!
Cash position of the company needs to be clarified before interest can be sustained.

Colin Kaepernick's Total Passing Yards, Ray Lewis' Total Tackles Lead Prop Bets Heading into Super Bowl XLVII (Photos)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/31/13
With the circus of media day finally coming to a close, it's time to get down to the truly important aspects of the Super Bowl — the bets. Betting on whether Colin Kaepernick can lead the 49ers to their first Super Bowl win since 1994 or if Ray Lewis will finish his career on top isn't nearly as satisfying as guessing correctly how many total rushing yards Ray Rice will gain on his first attempt or if Kaepernick will throw a touchdown or an interception his first time with the ball. Fortunately for fans, they have plenty of prop bets to choose from in this one. Super Bowl Sunday is going to conclude with one champion and one loser, but with prop bets, we can see just how many ways this famous game could go. Click here to see the Top 10 Super Bowl XLVII prop bets >>

Mock Drafts say we are going to take..
Re: Mock Drafts say we are going to take..
posted at 1/21/2010 3:00 PM ESTPats 7393: There are no less than 8 OLB's of the same quality,here are their rankings as of 1/1/10.Graham Mich,Sapp Clemson,Kindle TX,Weatherspoon Missouri,Hughes TCU,Muckelroy TX,Schofield Wisconson,Watson Fla ST,and then comes John Pierre-Paul USF...Conversely there are only 5 quality ILB's Spikes Fla,Lee Penn St.,Washington TCU,Sharpeton U-Miami,and the late addition McClain Alabama. Also there are 3 DE's who project as OLB's Alem LSU,Hardy Mississippi,and Selvie USF.....Thats a total of 16 LB's who will be available and those are just the guys who are ranked,there are always players who don't make a scouts list due to being over looked.So what I'm trying to say is that it's OK if BB trades out of the first round cause he needs more bodies to choose from.Another area of this years draft besides the Defensive front 7 which is deep is the Offensive tackle position where there are no less than 8 really top tier players.All in all this is the deepest draft in years and the more picks BB has the better his team will be for the next 5 years.
Re: Mock Drafts say we are going to take..

I think so, I also think it won't be the first two picks. You left out some good ones that should be considered as 2nd (except corey he's a 4th rounder, projected)
Greg Hardy 6'5" 255
Everson Griffen 6'3" 265 (runs 4.5 40)
George Selvie 6'4" 245
Willie Young 6'4" 240
Corey Wooton 6'6" 270

True that a lot of the mock drafts list Jerry Hughe's as our first pick, but I'm not sure that will happen. While he has been a tremendous pass rusher in college, I'm not sure his style of play is going to transfer well to pro and he's prone to crumble when people are rushing him on run plays. BB has a real challenge in this draft as we can't afford to pick potential stars that we can groom this year. We need immediate impact starters and I'm not sure I see any players you can bank on and blue chip outside of the top 10. The rest will be hit or miss, your guess as good as mine.
We NEED : Pass Rushing Demon
We NEED : Better Run Stopping
We NEED : A Second Receiver (Wes probably won't be back this year regardless of how much rah rah positive stuff you hear).
That's a lot of need and BB has yet to really impress me when he's left soley to his own devices on grocery shopping day.

Re: Mock Drafts say we are going to take..
posted at 1/21/2010 7:56 PM ESTLike I said someplace else out there in cyber land, maybe someone makes an offer for Wilfork or Mankins and they are willing to overpay! Do you trade one or both of these guys? Because they are Restricted all you have to do is designate them as tendered and you automatically get for Wilfork 2 number 1's,and if you allow the other to leave you are looking at 1rst and 3rd rd draft picks and Gowokotski is also a restricted FA also.You could conceiveably receive 4 first rd picks and 2 3rd rd.pks.if they all hit the road...Could you just see the shape of the draft change in your favor.
Re: Mock Drafts say we are going to take..
posted at 1/21/2010 8:52 PM ESTI've seen Iupati as a possible pick at #22 for a while now. If Neal goes (which I have a gut feeling that he will), then Iupati becomes much more likely, provided that no free agent is signed to replace him (a la Jahari Evans) prior to the draft.
Moving on to OLB, the great thing about Hughes is that many of his problems are fixable. When I watch Hughes play, I see a player that has great physical talent and a natural nose for pressure. Getting to the quarterback just comes naturally for some players, and I see Hughes as that type of player. As I've said before, Hughes' greatest asset is his speed. When he gets a step on his man, he's awfully tough to catch up to.
However, Hughes' greatest asset is conjoined with his greatest fault. When Hughes gets locked up with a lineman, Hughes doesn't usually get away from him, as he is rather lacking in the department of pass-rushing moves and technique (he doesn't use his hands very well, as Z mentioned earlier). But, as I and others have pointed out, his technique is the only major flaw in his game, and (provided that he isn't a headcase), technique is correctable (especially so in our case, due to a certain coach that bears the surname Belichick). The one thing that keeps me from viewing Hughes as the ideal pick for that Pats is his size (6' 2") - I don't know how Belichick will view that number.
Re: Mock Drafts say we are going to take..
posted at 1/21/2010 10:42 PM ESTIf we take a OG, I think it will be M Pouncey. He can play center, and both guard spots, something BB loves in his linemen
Re: Mock Drafts say we are going to take..
posted at 1/21/2010 10:50 PM ESTI'm also intrigued by Vladimir Ducasse, the OG out of UMass. He's an absolute mammoth of a human being. Mike Reiss had a good write-up of him over on ESPNBoston.

Frederick H. Waddell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our financial performance in the first quarter of 2015, which reflects continued growth in our business serving personal and institutional clients. Trust, investment and other servicing fees, which represent two-thirds of our revenue, increased 7% compared to last year. New business and higher equity markets contributed to growth in assets under custody and under management of 6% and 5%, respectively. Total revenue grew 9% and we maintained a disciplined focus on expenses, which increased 3%, producing meaningful operating leverage. As a result, our pre-tax profit margin improved to 31.2% in the first quarter and our return on equity was within our target range of 10-15%. We also look forward to returning capital to our stockholders in the year ahead as the Federal Reserve did not object to the proposed capital actions in our 2015 Capital Plan. Our Capital Plan and proposed capital distributions demonstrate the strength of Northern Trust's focused business model, financial position and commitment to stockholders"

Opensuse Build Service 1.0: Open Teamwork
The Novell sponsored Opensuse project has released version 1.0 of its build service in a step that will make working on software packages for the distribution much easier for external developers.
Developers can create a branch of the official factory package, use the build service to create a version and hand in the results to the package's official maintainer. If the maintainer does not have time to consider the package, it does not become obsolete, but is referenced by future builds.
"This is the first time that external developers have been able to collaborate with us on the distribution by sending package changes to maintainers", says Suse employee Klaas Freitag, and Build Service architect, explaining the changes. To help support communications in this collaborative environment, the build service also has new submission and notification functions.
The updated Build Service runs on the build.opensuse.org website. The GPL-licensed source code is available from Novell Forge. Binary packages for various Suse versions are also available.

It went awesome... Feel soooo much more relaxed since we met... This one was an interview, fill out and sign paperwork visit... In January she will come out and look at all the house and tell us what changes need to be done before she can approve... Then a few weeks later she will come back and make sure they have all been done and then we will be placed on the "waiting" or "available" list... We also need to take a parenting class online for this agency... In addition, we are going to do the state adoption as well which requires a more in depth parenting class (10 weeks instead of 3 hours)... We've got to put together a Profiler book which will be loaned to birth mothers to view to see if we would be a family she woudl want to place her child with.

What Science Has to Say About Red Meat
By Rochelle Bilow
We know that red meat tastes great, and that's reason enough for us to dig into a medium-rare steak with gusto. But in the last few decades, there's been as much talk about its health benefits and/or risks as its flavor. Either red meat will lower your cholesterol and help you slim down (some studies say), or it'll set you on the fast track to diabetes, heart disease, and cancer (according to other studies). What's a diner to do? Before you swap that sirloin for shiitakes, hang on just a moment. We're looking to find an answer once and for all: Is beef good for you or bad for you? What does science say about red meat?
It'll Stop Your Heart! Or Maybe Not!
One of the biggest complaints about red meat is that it's bad for your cardiovascular health. In 1999, a study that compared heart disease in vegetarians, regular meat eaters, and occasional meat eaters found that vegetarians experienced the lowest rates of ischemic heart disease (hardening of the arteries). But another study conducted that year claimed that because saturated fats are to blame for heart disease, meat-eaters can happily live in health—so long as they consume leaner cuts. Shortly after, in 2000, the Weston A. Price Foundation spoke out against the red-meat naysayers, claiming that it's not steak and lamb chops but refined carbohydrates and vegetable oils that are actually the cause of heart disease.
In 2004, research showed that women who consume excessive red meat are more likely to contract type-2 diabetes. Add that to a study conducted in 2009, which found that those who consumed red meat (beef, lamb, and pork, according to the researchers) were 30 percent more likely to die of heart disease and cancer. Instead of cutting out meat completely, the researchers suggested baking and poaching the meat rather than grilling or frying it. It would seem that if we just cut back on the burgers and poached our hot dogs, we'd be in the clear. (And in fact, earlier this summer we took a look at the science behind grilling and health—you can read it here.)

Having missed the dinosaurs by quite a few millennium, give or take a few, humans missed out on the golden opportunity to ride on the backs of them. It's heartening to know that a distant relative of the human did get to ride on the backs of dinosaur, although it must be stressed that the first placental mammal held little resemblance to a human. See above picture.

Keywords: Placental mammal, dinsosaurs, evolution, extinction
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the study, as published in the latest issue of Biology Letters, the first placental mammal lived from 88.3 to 91.6 million years ago. Placental mammals today include humans and all other mammals, save those that lay eggs or have pouches, which are known as marsupials.
Then again, this may not be the case - maybe mammals and dinosaurs never frolicked together under prehistoric skies. Based solely on fossil evidence, which theorized this "mother of all placental mammals" arose after the dinosaurs died out. Researchers now believe that it preceded the non-avian dinosaur extinction.

Another sobering thought: if the dinosaurs didn't die off, we wouldn't be here.
"When dinosaurs died out, many ecological niches became vacant, and placental mammals took over," lead author Mario dos Reis says. "The placental ancestor diversified and evolved into the modern mammals we see today, such as rodents, deer, whales, horses, bats, carnivores, monkeys and ultimately humans."
"If dinosaurs had not died out, then placental mammals may not have had the opportunity to diversify the way they did, and our own species would not have evolved!" added dos Reis, a research associate in the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment at University College London.
Analyzing 36 complete mammal genomes together with information from the mammal fossil record, the results determined placental mammals originated in the Cretaceous.
Reis explained that the DNA of organisms accumulates changes, called mutations, at a constant rate in time, which is referred to as the "molecular clock."
As an example, certain DNA in humans and other apes mutates at a pace of about one percent every 10 million years. The molecular clock is said to run a bit fast in some species and a little slow in others.

The 2015 Summer InstituteTHE FLOW OF THE PSALMS
Find it difficult to grasp any sense of order in the Psalter? Have trouble locating the right psalm for a particular need? Since the time of Augustine until today, the Psalms have been read as individually wrapped treasures that stand alone rather than having inner connections within the book as a whole.
Greenville Seminary's 2015 Summer Institute will provide an in-depth look at "The Flow of the Psalms," with teaching by Drs. O. Palmer Robertson and Joseph A. Pipa, Jr. at the seminary. This week-long seminar is a greatly expanded version of a lecture presented by Dr. Robertson prior to our 2014 Spring Theology Conference. Dr. Palmer's lectures will take place during the morning sessions daily; during the afternoon sessions, Dr. Joseph A. Pipa, Jr., will be lecturing on Preaching the Psalms. Pastors attending will be given the opportunity to submit sermons on the Psalms for critiquing.
THE FLOW OF THE PSALMS explores the fascinating structures of psalm groupings that will enable you to place as many as 80% of the psalms in their relationship to the whole of the book. Discovering groupings that feature psalms celebrating creation, psalms of corporate praise, psalms of the innocent sufferer, psalms of the guilty sufferer, psalms anticipating prosperity and long life, psalms of personal and national disaster, will enable you to "find your way" to the right psalm for a specific occasion. Understanding these inherent connections can only enrich the understanding of each individual psalm. Throughout the whole, the promised Messiah and his universal reign provide a unifying focus. Charts displaying the structure inherent in each of the five Books of the Psalter make it possible to visualize the progression in redemptive truth from Psalm 1 to Psalm 150.
Tuition for the Summer Institute is $225. You may register by phoning (864) 322-2717 or online at www.gpts.edu/pastors. Please register by Friday, June 26th.
After June 26th, a $25 late registration fee will be applied. We offer a $25 discount off of additional registrations, should others in your church register to attend with you. This discount will be distributed as a cash refund when you arrive for class. Please be sure to list the name of your church in the Ministry/Organization field of the online registration.
GPTS students who want to take the course for graduate level (MDiv) credit must register by May 22nd. Non-GPTS students who want to register for credit must do so by June 26th. Pastors who take the course are eligible for 30 continuing education units.
Monday: 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday:
9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Friday: 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
