THE FIRST WORLD WAR At the outbreak of the First World War the whole of the Nepalese Army was placed at the disposal of the British Crown. Over 16,000 Nepalese troops were subsequently deployed on operations on the North West frontier and as garrison battalions in India to replace troops of the British Indian Army who had gone to fight overseas. Some one hundred thousand Gurkhas enlisted in regiments of the Gurkha Brigade. They fought and died in France and Flanders, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, Gallipoli, Palestine and Salonika. A battalion of the 8th Gurkhas greatly distinguished itself at Loos, fighting to the last, and in the words of the Indian Corps Commander, "found its Valhalla". The 6th Gurkhas gained immortal fame at Gallipoli during the capture from the Turks of the feature later known as "Gurkha Bluff". At Sari Bair they were the only troops in the whole campaign to reach and hold the crest line and look down on the Straits, which was the ultimate objective. To quote from Field Marshal Sir William Slim"s introduction to the second volume of the 6th Gurkhas" history: "I first met the 6th Gurkha Rifles in 1915 in Gallipoli. There I was so struck by their bearing in one of the most desperate battles in history that I resolved, should the opportunity come, to try to serve with them. Four years later it came, and I spent many of the happiest, and from a military point of view the most valuable, years of my life in the Regiment". BETWEEN THE WARS There was little respite after the First World War, with fighting in the Third Afghan War in 1919 followed by numerous campaigns on the North-West Frontier, particularly in Waziristan. Four Nepalese Army regiments also took part in operations on the North West Frontier during the Third Afghan War. THE SECOND WORLD WAR In the Second World War there were no fewer than forty Gurkha battalions in British service, as well as parachute, garrison and training units. In all this totalled some 112,000 men. Side by side with British and Commonwealth troops Gurkhas fought in Syria, the Western Desert, Italy and Greece, from North Malaya to Singapore and from the Siamese border back through Burma to Imphal and then forward again to Rangoon. In addition to the enormous manpower made available there were many personal gestures on the part of the Minister and Court of Nepal. Large sums of money for the purchase of weapons and equipment, including money for the provision of fighter aircraft during the Battle of Britain, were presented as gifts from Nepal. Considerable sums of money were also donated to the Lord Mayor of London during the Blitz for the relief of victims in the dockland area. An equally generous response was made to a variety of appeals for aid – all this from a country, which was then, and still, is by western standards, desperately poor. The spirit of this friendship can best be illustrated by the reply made to the Prime Minister of Nepal to the British Minister in Kathmandu after the fall of France in 1940. When Britain stood alone. Permission was sought to recruit an additional 20 battalions for the Gurkha Brigade, and for Gurkha troops to be allowed to serve in any part of the world. This was readily granted by the Prime Minister who remarked, "Does a friend desert a friend in time of need? If you win, we win with you. If you lose, we lose with you". The whole of the Nepalese Army was again placed at the disposal of the British Crown. Eight Nepalese regiments were sent to India for internal security duties and for operations on the North West Frontier. Later a Nepalese brigade was sent to Burma and fought with particular distinction at the Battle of Imphal. THE PARTITION OF INDIA AND TRANSFER TO THE BRITISH ARMY After the Second World War conflicts in Palestine, the Dutch East Indies, French Indo China, Borneo and the troubled partition of India claimed the attention and often the lives of officers and men of the Gurkha Brigade. At the time of the partition of India there were ten Gurkha regiments in the Indian Army, each regiment consisting of a number of battalions. As a result of negotiations between the Nepalese, British and Indian Governments (known as the "Tripartite Agreement") four of these regiments, each of two battalions were transferred to the British Army, the remainder staying with the new Indian Army. Thus on 1st January 1948, four Gurkha regiments became, for the first time, an integral part of the British Army, forming the Brigade of Gurkhas. These regiments were: 2nd King Edward VII"s Own Gurkha Rifles (The Sirmoor Rifles) 6th Gurkha Rifles (later Queen Elizabeth"s Own) 7th Gurkha Rifles (later Duke of Edinburgh"s Own) 10th Gurkha Rifles (later Princess Mary"s Own) When these regiments moved to the Far East in 1948 they, with other units of the British Army already there, were formed into a division which, being largely Gurkha, was designated 17 Gurkha Infantry Division. After 1948 the following additional Gurkha units were raised: Gurkha Engineers (now The Queen"s Gurkha Engineers) Gurkha Signals (now Queen"s Gurkha Signals) Gurkha Army Service Corps (now The Queen"s Gurkha Logistic Regiment) Gurkha Independent Parachute Company (Disbanded 1972) Gurkha Military Police (disbanded 1964) THE MALAYAN EMERGENCY The Brigade of Gurkhas operated continuously throughout the Malayan Emergency, for twelve years (1948 to 1960) against Communist terrorists, and the Gurkha soldier again proved himself to be, as he has previously done in Burma, a superb jungle fighter. Whilst the majority of the rest of the British Army was fighting in such trouble spots as Korea, Cyprus, Kenya and Aden and maintaining a presence in the UK, Germany and other garrisons in various parts of the world, the Brigade of Gurkhas was providing the backbone, the expertise and the continuity in the campaign in Malaya. Many British units fought in the Malayan Emergency with distinction, but never for more than two or three years before moving on to other theatres. Gurkha battalions on the other hand served on year after year, providing the decisive ingredient for victory in this vicious war of stealth and attrition. A peaceful period of two years followed the successful conclusion of this campaign, which enabled Gurkha units once again to widen their professional horizons and train for roles other than operating against Communist terrorists in the Malayan jungle. One Gurkha battalion was stationed in the United Kingdom (at Tidworth) in 1962, but was withdrawn to the Far East after the outbreak of the troubles in Borneo. BORNEO – THE BRUNEI REVOLT AND "CONFRONTATION" WITH INDONESIA Gurkha troops (1st Battalion, 2nd KEO Gurkha Rifles) were the first to be used again in an operational role on the outbreak of the Brunei Revolt in December 1962. The battalion was alerted at 11pm on 7 th December and the first company was air-landed in Brunei, nine hundred miles away, at 9 am the following morning. There followed four years of continuous operations against units of the Indonesian Regular Army in Sabah and Sarawak in which every unit of the Brigade of Gurkhas took part. As they did in the Malayan Emergency, Gurkha units again provided the bulk and the continuity of the British Army"s contribution to this campaign. It was in November 1965 that Lance Corporal Rambahadur Limbu of the 2nd Battalion, 10th PMO Gurkha Rifles won the Victoria Cross. When the Borneo Campaign ended in 1966 there was a short lull before the Brigade found itself engaged in internal security tasks in Hong Kong during civil disturbances resulting from China"s Cultural Revolution. BRITISH WITHDRAWAL FROM MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE AND THE "RUNDOWN" OF THE BRIGADE OF GURKHAS Between 1967 and 1972, as a result of changing defence commitments and the reorganisation of the Armed Forces, the strength of the Brigade of Gurkhas was reduced from 14,000 to about 8,000. This was achieved by a reduction of the number of Gurkha infantry battalions from eight to five, reductions in the strength of the three corps units (Engineers, Signals and Transport) and the disbandment of the Gurkha Independent Parachute Company and the Gurkha Military Police. When British Forces withdraw from Singapore in 1971 three battalions of Gurkha infantry and the Gurkha Engineers, Gurkha Signals and Gurkha Transport Regiment were stationed in Hong Kong and the remaining two battalions stationed one in the United Kingdom (at Church Crookham) and the other in Brunei. In 1974 the battalion based in England (10th PMO Gurkha Rifles) deployed to Cyprus to reinforce the British Sovereign Base Area when Turkey invaded the Island. Since 1978 the United Kingdom based Gurkha battalion has taken its turn in helping to garrison Belize and in 1982 the 1st Battalion 7th DEO Gurkha Rifles took part in the Falkland Islands Campaign. In the Gulf War to liberate Kuwait in 1990/91, the then Gurkha Transport Regiment provided 28 (Ambulance) Squadron and The Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas deployed as stretcher-bearers. In 1977, during the Silver Jubilee Year, the Queen honoured three units of the Brigade of Gurkhas. The Gurkha Engineers and Gurkha Signals received Royal titles and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the 2nd KEO Gurkha Rifles. In 1992 the Gurkha Transport Regiment was redesignated The Queen"s Own Gurkha Transport Regiment (now the Queen"s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment). Following the Government"s decision to reduce and restructure the Army the Brigade reduced in size from 8000 to 3500 by 1998. In 1994 the four Rifle Regiments disbanded and were reformed into a large Regiment, The Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) which initially consisted of 3 battalions. His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is the Regiment"s Colonel in Chief. RGR reduced to two battalions in November 1996 when 3 RGR disbanded on the withdrawal of 1 RGR from Hong Kong to UK. At that time three Gurkha Rifle Companies were formed to reinforce the Infantry until 2005. The Brigade is also providing reinforcements for various specialist posts throughout the Army. The Corps Regiments have reduced in size to a Regimental Headquarters and squadrons (see below for breakdown and location of units); these squadrons are deployed within parent corps regiments. There are currently some 3300 Gurkhas (effective strength) in the British Army (as at December 2004) organised into the following headquarters and units: HQ The Brigade of Gurkhas 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles 2nd Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles The Queen"s Gurkha Engineers (RHQ and 2 Sqns) The Queen"s Gurkha Signals (RHQ and 3 Sqns) The Queen"s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment Gurkha Company (Sittang) (RMA Sandhurst) Gurkha Company (Mandalay) (IBS Wales) Gurkha Company, 3rd Battalion ITC Catterick Brigade of Gurkhas Training Team British Gurkhas Nepal (a HQ, with Depots in Kathmandu and Pokhara) The Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas - Netheravon, UK - UK - Brunei - Maidstone, Kent, UK - UK - Aldershot, UK - Camberley, Surrey, UK - Brecon, Wales, UK - Catterick Garrison, UK - UK - Nepal - Sir John Moore Barracks, Shorncliffe, UK CONCLUSION In the two World Wars the Gurkha Brigade suffered 43,000 casualties, and to date it has won 26 Victoria Crosses – 13 by Gurkhas and 13 by British Officers. This short chronicle is of necessity brief and factual. It cannot adequately portray the spirit and the character of the Gurkha soldier, nor can it reflect the "esprit de corps" and the bond of comradeship and mutual respect, which bind together the British, and Gurkha officers and men of the Brigade. But perhaps these words written by the late Sir Ralph Turner MC (Professor of Sanskrit at the University of London, Fellow of Christ"s College Cambridge and some time Adjutant of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Queen Alexandra"s Own Gurkha Rifles) in 1931, give a hint of the true feelings of both sides: "As I write these words, my thoughts return to you who were my comrades, the stubborn and indomitable peasants of Nepal. Once more I hear the laughter with which you greeted every hardship. Once more I see you in your bivouacs or about your campfires, on forced marches or in the trenches, now shivering with wet and cold, now scorched by a pitiless and burning sun. Uncomplaining you endure hunger and thirst and wounds; and at the last your unwavering lines disappear into the smoke and wrath of battle. Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had a country more faithful friends than you".

Taking a horse ride
In Nathia Gali Bazaar or right next to Green's Hotel there are several horses which are available for riding with guides. Don't worry if you havent ever ridden a horse before. They are pretty safe and intelligent. The horses are on the ride side of the road (if entering Green's Hotel from Nathia Gali and if its not raining). The ride is fantastic taking you through the steep road and beautiful places. Don't worry if a car is coming in your direction. The horse and the car will avoid each other. The horse ride gives a very wonderful view of the Governor's House as seen in the picture. Horse rides can also be taken to Mukhshpuri Top or Miran Jani Top. The horse ride is absolutely refreshing especially in the morning.Related to:

Miranjani - a treat for adventure lovers!
If you are a good hiker then you may plan to climb the highest peak of the area. Miranjani peak is around 10,000 above sea level. One clear day you can also see Nanga Parbat - the killer mountain as well as snow covered peaks of Kashmir.
Its tough hike and you need to bring water and food along with you. Make sure to have rain coat and umbrella with you to save yourself from rain on the way.
It would take you 4-5 hours one way. Leave Nathia gali early morning for this track. From Miranjani you should leave back before afternoon as its not safe afterwards. This area has many wild animals including lion. So be careful.Related to:

Use the short ways...
If you have to walk all the way in Nathia Gali then it could be a pretty tough job as road is very steep and u gotta be tired soon. So use the short ways, many of them are defined. Ask the locals and they would help you.
One of well known and proper short way starts on your right when you take the road going up from main bazar. You would see many stairs just climb them and you would be in Children's park. Now you would see more stairs, climb them and you would be on main road. Just walk for two minutes towards left and you would be at Church. If you walk towards right then you would be going towards Nathia Gali Club then Shingrilla Hotel n further Mukhspuri track.Related to:

The use of a circle as both the organizational structure
and descriptive metaphor for a meeting of equals is likely to have been
a part of our history for as long as fire has. The learning circle is a mechanism
for organizing and honoring the collective wisdom of the group and is
present in many indigenous cultures. For example, in early native councils
of elders came together to understand problems in a spirit of shared community
in "wisdom circles."
The term Learning Circle has been used to describe group efforts with clear links to
social change. Over time and across countries, civic organizations, neighborhood
communities, trade unions, churches and social justice groups have used the idea of
learning circles to empower their members to make choices and take action. The web can help locate the many ways both present and past that groups have used the term
Study Circles or Learning CIrcles
as a form of adult education. For
example, Educators for Community
find that learning circles --with their principles of equal
participation, reciprocity, and honoring of collective wisdom -embody
the democratic principles of effective service-learning partnerships.
They use learning circles, rather than more traditional forms of group
meetings, to structure their annual conferences. Primary teachers use a
form of learning circles when they gather the students at the rug for
"circle time." Among the goals of this activity are helping students to
develop the trust and respect for diversity of experience, and
fostering both listening and speaking skills among peers. Researchers
have used learning circles as a form of professional development to
improve their practice. A
similar term, "Quality Circle" was used in the 80's to characterize the successful
practice in corporate settings in which the hierarchical boundaries
between workers and managers are flattened to encourage participatory
management and team leadership. Quality circles, originally
associated with Japanese management and
manufacturing techniques developed in Japan
after world war II, based on lectures of W. Edwards Deming (Joel &
Ross, 1982). The goal was to encourage everyone to develop a strong
sense of ownership over the process and products of the group.
The spirit of honoring the collective wisdom, and trusting the process
to create deeper understanding -- the heart of learning
circles--remains constant regardless of their context. The cooperative
approach to decision-making and management that is essential in Quality
Circles, also describes how participants work with each other in online
Learning Circles as they design learning activities to extend knowledge
and skills. However, in contrast to these different forms of face-to-face meetings, the mode of communication is different. It shifts from listening and talking to reading and writing. The participant can be a a single person or a group. The outcome of the circle is a written document, a summary or collection of their collaboration. Each use of learning circles is set in a complex set of institutional constraints which will shape a different phase structure for learning circles. The purpose of this guide is to define the structure of learning Circles and the phase structure that is a defining characteristic of online learning circles.
The model is described by a (1) set of defining dimensions, (2) norms that support the interaction; and (3) the phase structure that guides the process. Many of these features also describe learning circles in face to face settings. Many examples of these can be seen in the section on other learning circle models.
These videos come from a small collection of videos produced for the blended-model community of practice for educators implementing the Digital Learning Process, developed by Ferdi Serim and described in Digital Learning: Strengthening and Assessing 21st Century Skills, (2012) published by Jossey-Bass.s

Gossip Girl
Clemence Poesy to Guest Star on Gossip Girl
Ooh la la! Gossip Girl is about to get a touch of European class. French actress Clemence Poesy, best known stateside for her stint as Fleur Delacour in the Harry Potter films, is set to guest star in an unknown number of episodes.
No word on what character Clemence will play, but our bet is that she'll be Chuck's new squeeze. Sounds like a good match. If B's not around to keep him in line, he should probably be with someone who can turn him into a newt if he gives her any trouble.

Pete Fiutak
There but for the grace of a late break in Salt Lake City and the
whims of the pollsters, this could've been a BCS game. The bowl is,
at the very least, in the discussion of the best non-BCS games and
has higher ranked teams than the Orange Bowl (Virginia Tech vs.
Boise State has gone unbeaten in
three of the last five regular
seasons, has won ten games or
more in seven of the last nine
seasons, and has won 108 games
in the last ten seasons. Of
course, there was the 2007
Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma in
one of the biggest statements
ever made by a non-BCS program.
With its résumé of victories and
consistency of excellence over a
decade, you'd think the team
would get the benefit of the
doubt when it comes to getting
the nod for a BCS game.
But noooooooooooo.
Boise State is ranked ninth in
the final BCS rankings while
Utah is seventh, meaning the
Utes got the automatic bid. Utah
beat TCU and blew away BYU, but
its best win over a BCS team was
against Oregon State. The
Broncos beat Oregon in Oregon,
and the Ducks later blew away
the Beavers. Ohio State was
ranked tenth in the final BCS
standings, but it still leaped
over the Broncos on the way to
face Texas in the Fiesta Bowl.
Thanks, Hawaii.
It might not seem fair, but
Hawaii's embarrassment in the
2008 Sugar Bowl against Georgia
hurt the national perception of
the WAC and didn't have anyone
doing cartwheels over having two
non-BCS teams playing in the big
money games. Boise State might
be ranked higher than Ohio
State, but the two OSU losses
came at USC and to Penn State.
Would Boise State have won
either of those two games?
Probably not, and then there's
the issue with the rest of the
There are a slew of wins over
teams that finished the regular
season with winning records, but
outside of the win over Oregon,
the second best victory was
against Nevada … whoopee. Even
so, Boise State could only play
who's on the schedule, and
considering no one, no one,
wants anything to do with this
team when it comes down to
putting together a
non-conference slate, it's a
problem for the program.
TCU didn't have the same
scheduling issues, getting its
shot at the big time with an
early season game at Oklahoma.
While the defensive front was
able to get to future
Heisman-winner Sam Bradford
better than anyone else, it was
still a 35-10 loss. It might
have been a 25-point blowout,
but the 35 points allowed tied
Texas for the best job anyone
did this year against the mighty
Sooners. Even with the loss, TCU
likely would've finished ahead
of Boise State, and would've
gotten the automatic BCS bid,
had it been able to hold on
against Utah.
The Horned Frogs had all the
respect and all the national
attention after blasting BYU
32-7, but they suffered a missed
field goal late in the fourth
quarter against Utah and the
defense couldn't hold on in the
13-10 loss that propelled the
Utes to the BCS. Even so, TCU
still has a special defense and
is putting together a special
season that could be capped off
with a top-ten finish, which is
what it'll get with a win.
Boise State has a defense of its
own, leading the WAC in several
categories. With an efficient
offense, a defense that only
allowed more than 16 points
twice, and among the best
special teams in America, this
team has it all. Now it's
looking to prove it on a
national scale with the
potential of a top-five finish
with a victory.
The Mountain West is 2-1 in the
short history of the Poinsettia
Bowl with TCU winning the 2006
game against Northern Illinois,
37-7. Last year's Utah exciting
win over Navy was the first ever
decent Poinsettia Bowl, but
it'll be a shock if this year's
matchup doesn't turn out to be
something special. The two
defenses are too good to let
either offense run away with the
game in a must-see battle
that'll end up shaping up the
rankings. Even so, it's a shame
that this isn't being played on
in early January on a bigger
Players to watch:
TCU junior DE Jerry Hughes
was a former high school
running back, and he has used
that athleticism to become one
of the nation's premier pass
rushers. He was a decent backup
last season working behind Chase
Ortiz, and this season he blew
up with 14 sacks, best in the
country, and 18.5 tackles for
loss. He single-handedly abused
BYU four sacks as part of a five
game run of 11 sacks. Extremely
quick and explosive, even if
he's not coming up with big
plays on the stat sheet, he's
occupying the attention of at
least two blockers on every
Boise State has several
defensive stars, but the best of
the bunch is junior corner
Kyle Wilson, the WAC's
premier shut-down defender who
can also hit a little bit. He
not only tied for the WAC lead
in interceptions with five, but
he also was a top open field
tackler. It's not like TCU is
going to throw the ball all over
the field, but QB Andy Dalton
will have to lock in on
where Wilson is.
Offensively, Ian Johnson
might be the name-brand star who
gets the publicity, but Boise
State's attack revolves around
QB Kellen Moore, who
survived a tough off-season
battle for the job and showed
why the coaching staff made the
right choice. He was one of the
nation's most efficient passers
throwing for 3,264 yards and 25
touchdowns with nine
interceptions. Three of those
picks came in one game, and he
didn't throw more than one
interception in any other game.
However, he's been used to
having all the time he needs to
throw. He won't get that against
TCU, and considering he's not a
runner, he'll have to make very
quick, very sharp decisions in
the face of the Horned Frog pass
TCU sophomore QB Andy Dalton
isn't flashy and he's not a
big-time bomber, but he does
what's needed for the offense.
He keeps the chains moving, he
doesn't make big mistakes, and
he lets the defense get the job
done. He didn't throw a
touchdown pass over the first
five games, missed two games in
the middle of the year, and then
came back roaring throwing 11
touchdowns passes and just two
interceptions, both in the loss
to Utah, in the final five
games, and he showed against Air
Force and Wyoming that he can
throw a little bit going over
the 300-yard mark in each game.
TCU will win if... get to
Moore, get to Moore, get to
Moore. Even with star LB Robert
Henson not expected to play, TCU
and the nation's No. 1 run
defense should be able to keep
Boise State's great ground game
in check. The Broncos like to
pound the ball, but TCU's
defensive back seven won't allow
many short runs become big ones.
The key will be to throw Moore
off his game by generating
pressure from the start. That's
easier said than done
considering Boise State doesn't
allow sacks, and Moore gets the
ball out of his hands in a
hurry, but the Horned Frogs are
great at keeping plays in front
of them. The sacks don't have to
be there, but Hughes and company
have to hit Moore early.
Boise State will win if...
keep the TCU running game in
check and take advantage of any
mistakes. The Horned Frogs
commit lots and lots of
penalties with ten or more in
six games and 109 on the season.
They also put the ball on the
turf, but they've been great at
recovering their errors. Boise
State is good at forcing
mistakes and it has to swarm
around the ball and hope to come
up with at least three
turnovers. There aren't going to
be many long drives on the TCU
defense, if any, so when the
chances are there to capitalize
on a short field, the Broncos
have to capitalize. Defensively,
Boise State led the WAC, and was
16th in the nation,
against the run. TCU had
problems with its running game
against Oklahoma and Utah and
lost both games. Colorado State
gave the Horned Frogs a hard
time by keeping their ground
game to 141 yards. If TCU is
running well, controlling the
clock, and keeping the chains
moving, the defense will do the
What will happen:
It won't be a shootout by any
stretch. These two teams are
tough, efficient, and great at
stepping on an opponent's throat
when the chances are there. TCU
will get that shot. The
defensive front won't dominate,
but it'll do just enough to get
to Moore and will shut down the
Bronco running game. On the
other side, Boise State will
keep TCU's ground game in check,
but Dalton will be a bit more
effective than Moore. It'll be a
good one.
Line: TCU -2.5 ...
CFN Prediction:
TCU 17 … Boise State 13

Two things to mention
The road that they were on is a single lane in each direction with heavy traffic in spots since it is a main throughway to cottage country and to the North and is known to be one of the more accident prone in the province. Hence more patrolling on a long weekend
The other thing to mention is that they appear to be from Ontario where going 50 km over the limit is considered street racing where they would be subject to a 2k to $10k fine per instance. They may have thought it would be cheaper in Quebec where doing 260 in a 100km zone (160 in a 60 mph zone) has a max fine of $2.9 k .Guess it doesn't help to video your transgressions

I have setup a routing table in the global.asax file for images that have been moved to the database. When I use the url such that EmpImages/[numeric id] as a basic format, it works fine if I use the url that does that same ~/EmpImages/42, but we have hundreds of hardcoded links that are ~/EmpImages/42.png. When I try to use the EmpImages/[numeric id].png, the handler is never called.
I have looked at several samples that show the .ext, but they are using page routes instead of handlers. With the code below, can you tell me what I'm missing?

A person familiar with the discussions says the Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. Jackson's arrival in Buffalo completes a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. The person said a deal to restructure the final year of Jackson's contract was reached early Monday and that the quarterback was already traveling to Buffalo. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not announced the trade. Jackson was scheduled to make $4 million this season, but that figure was restructured because the Bills deemed it to be too expensive for a backup player. It's not yet clear what the Seahawks will get in return, though it's expected to be a mid- to late-round draft pick from Buffalo.

Tom Daley nude photo: Single white diver seeks followers for 'cheeky' fun
Eighteen-year-old Tom Daley, Britain's Olympic poster boy, shows off the physique that diving built with a racy photo posted to his Twitter profile. Daley keeps the photo from being officially X-rated by holding a small card in front of his nether region, promoting his profile on a video sharing site called Keek.
Tom tweets, "Everyone go and get keek! You will love it and follow me ;) cheeky nude pic ;) haha [sic]."
A quick glance at the diver's Keek profile reveals video snippets of Tom practicing some free-form gymnastics, getting a haircut, and partying in a penguin costume with One Direction's Liam Payne outside a Halloween bash in London's Mayfair district.

I think that sort of simplistic view can be a problem at the core of right wing thinking. Government can restrict or create freedom. Other forces can do too. We shouldn't fixate totally on one part of that mix.
(I don't have much to say on whatever's in the constitution, although they looked like very forward thinking guys for the time. But they didn't see the challenges of the modern world coming.)

With this article, Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture completes its third volume. This will be available via print-on-demand from Amazon.com within a couple of weeks.
Publication of articles for volume four will begin this coming week.
In the meantime, the current plan for Dr. Gregory Smith's papers on 'Mormon Studies" and l'affaire Dehlin is simply to post them on the website without typesetting them or including them in the journal proper. (The plan could change. We'll watch and see what turns out to be the best course.)
In the meantime, I would like to thank those whose names appear without photographs on the Interpreter board page. (Look for them toward the bottom of the page.) These are our volunteers who serve as "editorial consultants" and as "media and technology consultants."
If you know one of them, tell him or her "Thanks!"
To have published three full volumes of material since 3 August with a volunteer staff and no budget is an amazing thing. I'm very grateful to all those who have made it happen.

Follow these simple steps for measuring: Hold phone 1.55 m from the ground (if you hold it higher or lower see bellow how to set phone's height), and locate bottom (point touching ground) of the object in the center of camera preview. Then click "FIX DISTANCE" and rotate camera up or down (but on the same height), to locate top of the object in center of camera preview. Distance and height are displayed automatically.
How to change phone's height: click "PHONE", then rotate left or right to adjust value. Click this button again when you are done.
And that's all. Happy measuring.

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are moving to Cobb County.
The Braves will be building a new stadium at Circle 75 and Windy Ridge Parkway, across the street from the Boy Scouts headquarters.
The Braves announced the move with a website, HomeofTheBraves.com Monday morning.
Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz made a recorded announcement on the website.
"We wanted to find a location that was great for our fans, makes getting to and from the stadium much easier, and provides a first rate game day experience in and around the stadium," said John Schuerholz. "Turner field, which we do not own, is in needs of hundreds of millions of dollars of upgrades. Unfortunately, that massive investment would not do anything to improve access or the fan experience. These are issues we simply cannot overcome."
The Braves released an overview statement on the website:
"This decision to move was not easy, and we have mixed emotions about leaving a ballpark that holds so many great memories. However, knowing that our lease will expire in 2016, we have devoted our time trying to secure the best option for our fans, our team and our organization. We believe this new site will be the best location for our fans and our organization for the next 30 years."
The Braves say the new location is at the geographic center of the Braves fanbase.
Cobb County Commission Chair Tim Lee released a statement Monday morning.
"The Atlanta Braves are a great organization and will be a welcome addition to Cobb County. Our focus is on finalizing an agreement that will bring jobs and economic growth to the area while enhancing the experience of sports fans from across metro Atlanta.
Atlanta has evolved over the years into a broader community that offers so much for so many. Cobb County is proud to be a part of the region's continued success."
Cobb County Community Improvement District representative Brookes Mathis confirmed the news to Channel 2's Dave Huddleston at 8:40 a.m.
The Braves' lease with Turner Field ends in 2016 and the stadium is set to open in April 2017.
The Braves have played in downtown Atlanta since moving here from Milwaukee in 1966 and have played in Turner Field since 1997.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed issued a statement Monday afternoon.
"The Atlanta Braves are one of the best baseball teams in America, and I wish them well. We have been working very hard with the Braves for a long time, and at the end of the day, there was simply no way the team was going to stay in downtown Atlanta without city taxpayers spending hundreds of millions of dollars to make that happen. It is my understanding that our neighbor, Cobb County, made a strong offer of of $450M in public support to the Braves and we are simply unwilling to match that with taxpayer dollars. Given the needs facing our city and the impact of Turner Field stadium on surrounding neighborhoods, that was something I, and many others were unwilling to do. We have been planning for the possibility of this announcement and have already spoken to multiple organizations who are interested in redeveloping the entire Turner Field corridor. Over the next three years, we will be working with our prospective partners to bring residential and business development that is worthy of our city and strengthens our downtown. Those conversations will continue and I am excited about how we use the land that is now Turner Field, to be a tremendous asset for our residents, our city, and our region for years to come."
The Georgia Department of Transportation said the new stadium location was news to them as of Monday morning.
SOMEONE GETS IT!!!!! Too bad Arthur Blank doesn't get it. I'll probably never go to a game in the spaceship.

Another day and there's yet another national media mock draft of the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft now out to pass along to you that closely resembles a few other recent ones when it comes to who the Pittsburgh Steelers are projected to select.
On Thursday, Doug Farrar of Sports Illustrated released his first version of a mock draft and he has the Steelers selecting Notre Dame nose tackle Louis Nix III with the 15th overall selection, just like Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay of ESPN also projected in their latest versions.
Farrar writes:
Yes, cornerback is a sure need, and this team always seems to require more help on the offensive line. But Dick LeBeau's defenses are built on a root hog up the middle who can soak up double teams and let everyone else fly around. Not only can Nix do that at 6-2 and 345 pounds, but also he can bull through those schemes arrayed against him to add to any team's pressure concepts. Conditioning is a slight concern, but Nix would be around veterans who understand what it takes.
Farrar has two wide receivers, one cornerback and three tackles off the board by the time the Steelers pick rolls around in addition to three quarterbacks.
Farrar is one of my favorites to read when it comes to player profiles of which he will probable begin doing soon.
As mentioned previously, Nix to the Steelers seems to be a popular choice by the major media draftniks to start off this offseason and we'll see if that trend continues following the scouting combine.
Well…I think this is the general consensus for our first pick and we should get use to seeing this quite a bit between now and draft day.
I'm not good at evaluating talent in the trenches, however I do know Heyward is a damn good DE. I know many many many people on here severely dislike the notion of drafting Nix (I'm sure to get more than one thumbs down on my opinion) but I think this could be a good move for us to make. But ONLY if McLendon will be an upgrade over Hood on the other side.
My question to Steelers Nation and people who know a hell of a lot more about the front 3 than I do is can McLendon be a dominant DE for the Steelers? In my mind I feel that what the FO feels the future at LB will be- Jones, Williams(TBD), Timmons, and Worilds- that making the Dline a force will not only improve the pressure from the line, but greatly impact the IMPACT the linebackers will have and that resonates into the secondary. Why not do what has made the Steelers great and turn the front 7 back into the Steel Curtain?
I've felt for a while we need an upgrade over Hood. Whether that is by moving McLendon to DE or by drafting a DE in round 1, it needs to happen. I feel it is more of a need than most people think. We can find quality CB's in rounds 2 and 3 as well as WR.
This is my opinion and I'd love to hear everybodys opinion on the subject.
Your points are valid and I believe McLendon could play DE at a high level. The issue arises when you consider the scheme and packages that are infused in the Defense. It seems we hardly use the base 3-4 anymore and if that's the case I don't want to spend a 1st Rd selection on NT.. if the plan moving forward is to get back to playing more base than I wouldn't mind the Nix selection, letting Hood walk and kick Mac out to DE
Tough to comment on this one. Farrar didn't provide a link to the player rankings he used for his mock. If he thinks Nix is a top 10 player, and BPA when the Steelers pick at 15, then I say nice job. On the other hand, if based on his big board, Nix is a reach, and there are higher graded players available who would be a good fit for the Steelers, then I say get a clue.
I think Al Woods would be a better option at DE, than McLendon. One thing to consider would be playing McLendon and Woods in rotation. I hate to be this guy, but I'm going to make a Seattle comparison. The have good, not great players on their D-line. They are able to play with such intensity, because they are so deep across the line, and could always have fresh players on the field.
Ok. Here's my first swing at a mock this year. I am anticipating signing both Hood and Woods on the D-line
1. CJ Mosley LB
2. Kelvin Benjamin WR
3. Pierre Desir CB
4. Arthur Lynch TE
4. Aaron Colvin CB
5. Devin Kennard OLB
6. Dri Archer KR/WR
7. Vinnie Sunseri S
Wanted to get a safety in earlier but couldn't find a spot.
Rather see us go S in R4, but overall I'd love this. Getting a physical CB in Desir, and bringing some talent to the middle of the D with Mosley is nice. Colvin in R4 is a nice value pick, stockpiling for the future. IMO Benjamin will be gone by our R2, but if not that would be a superb value.
Can anyone really say Nix in R1 is a better value than a guy like Justin Ellis in R4? I just don't see the dropoff being as great as that with some other positions.
Yeah thought about Ahmad Black there.
I'm not sure I see a huge need if we're going to keep running the hybrid fronts we have. Given the higher percentage with which we used the nickel and dime packages last year, my draft right now would be:
1) Kelvin Benjamin – WR, FSU: Gives us the big body we've been looking for out wide and would help to take some pressure off of AB. Would not be the matchup nightmare that Ebron would be, but our more immediate need is a #2 receiver. Plus, he'd be very helpful in the red zone.
2) Stanley Jean-Baptiste – CB, Nebraska: At 6'2, 214, Baptiste has great "measureables" for a CB in today's NFL. The guy also catches almost everything he gets his hands on, which is something I've been pining for for a long time. He is a more than willing tackler. Some draft websites have him going in the 3-5 range, but I'd take him on Day 2 without hesitation.
3) (Comp Pick) Pierre Desir – CB, Lindenwood: Another tall corner at 6'1 and seems to have the speed and hip movement to be a lock down corner with the right coaching. Adding a second cover corner to this defense would go a long way.
4) Kenny Laidler – FS, Vanderbilt: He doesn't seem to be a willing tackler in the run game, but has a nice pair of hands and would serve as an above average traditional FS. He's 6'0 and 205, which gives us another tall DB, which would more than make up for Shamarko's height.
4b) (Comp Pick) Boseke Lokombo – OLB, Oregon: This is my favorite player in this year's draft. He can hit, fly to the QB using an assortment of moves, and best of all – he can cover out in space. He brings a lot of energy to the field and I wouldn't mind having him here. He's projected a little later but, again, if I were the FO I would take him here to make sure I got him.
5) Jeoffrey Pagan – 3-4DE, Alabama: I can't tell whether (or why) this guy is under the radar, but he has a high motor and plays even bigger than he is (even though he's 6'4 and 286). At times I saw him playing the nose position and playing it well (mostly on passing downs). I think of him as a JJ Watt with slightly less strength and a slightly higher motor (though he does not have the vertical of Watt).
6) Max Bullough – ILB, Michigan State: He lacks the aggressiveness of some other LBs in this class, but always seems to be around the football. If nothing else, he is a solid leader that could make an impact on special teams.
I think here are my things about Nix.
First, if you look at the NFL and our team right now as we stand, can Nix play more than 25 plays a game for us. If you look at our final game of the year we had 66 defensive snaps, if that averages out to 60 plays a game against our D, and Nix only plays 25 of that 60….is he still worth a first round pick? That is question #1. We know he isn't an every down player. Are we going to use a #1 pick on a 2-down guy….
Second, if we don't take him in Round #1….who does? Who are the other teams in round one and the first 14 picks of round 2 who would take him? Do teams see him being able to play a 4-3 D or is he strictly a NT? This I want to know because value in the draft is built on more than just ability, it is built on demand. I may be the best dang kicker and able to punt the ball 60 yards, do kickoffs and hit 60 yard FGs, but unless there is demand for me…I am not going to get drafted early….period. Dave, can you maybe provide some analysis for us on where Nix could possible land as a target and who might be willing to take him in the first 45 or so picks in the draft?
I just can't see the Steelers taking a NT in the first round. Think there is more pressing needs in the secondary or a chance to get a big WR in the first round.
This. So much this.
#1 problem in 2013 was are 21st ranked run defense. We need a STUD NT and I think he would fit in great. McClendon did a good job but is to small, move him outside. Take a shot. Before his 2013 injury he was a projected top 5 pick.
%100 Steeltown!!!
Tell me it is Not so
Labelling Nix as a stud NT is misdirected. Sure, he was a stud against weak competition, but against better OLinemen he had a tough time, even against single coverage. We could pick up McCullers or Ellis in 4 (or later) who could service as well. Why waste our 1st pick on a Terrence Cody? Makes no sense.
Thankfully Doug Farrar is not an NFL scout
The Steelers played a morphed defense last season because they did not have the personnel to play the 3-4 as it's supposed to work. The D-Lines first priority is tie up the O-Line and the most important element to do that is the nose tackle. Also, the 3-4 requires a really good set of linebackers and they did not have that in 2013. So who should they draft? The best player who most fits the Steelers mode I believe, is one who plays smash mouth football on offense or defense. Ever since I heard Tomlin's lame line about the Lombardi trophies in response to Willie Parker's complaint about deviating from traditional Steeler football, I've wondered what Tomlin's vision of Steeler football is. It seems the team has no identity. Perhaps a look at how Seattle defense dominated a team with one of the best offenses in history, will open the eyes of Tomlin/Colbert/Rooney! In the end my philosophy on the draft is to never pick for position in the early rounds if you're more than three players away what you define as the best player left on the board. The goal should be to get the best player available regardless of position.
…why is he the favorite?? He's a 3rd round talent-wise. Only different ge got with Justin Ellis and Ryan Carrethers is he plays for a big school… even last year when the line was arguably dominating; Kapoor Lewis-Moore was the best player and he was a 7th round pick last year (because of a torn ACL he tore in BCS Champion but talent-wise he's a 4th round) so I'm almost assured Steelers don't want him in first 3 rounds.
love Desir, would have to get him in 2nd though
In watching the playoffs, and specifically, the Broncos, Seahawks and 49ers, their interior DL was a big force in winning games and shutting down the other team's Offense.
I think we the fans are underestimating the use of the NT.
Thank you. This is the point everyone is missing. Of course we could use a franchise 3-4 NT. But is Nix that QUALITY of talent?
I believe the answer is no. When Notre Dame played Alabama in the BCS championship two years, Nix was thrown all over the field. Easily moved. Sometimes with just a single blocker. That is the caliber of OL he will face in the NFL.
A lot of draftniks (and people on this site) see the numbers 6'3″ 330 pounds and instantly think Casey Hampton type nose tackle. Louis Nix is FAR from Hampton skill wise (in my opinion).
Its not a matter of us as fans underestimating the use of NT, it could be more a matter of the coaching staff underusing the position.. Will Allen had more snaps on defense than McLendon this past season, that says it all
Not sure I understand where you're going. All three of those teams run a 4-3, so they have two DTs, not just one guy. Of course they'll get more push from the interior. So how does that sell the necessity of a 3-4 NT? Or are you suggesting we move to a 4-3?
Id rather have them take McCullers in the 3rd round. But I wouldn't mind this pick.
Benjamin wont be there in the 2nd. Desir will end up being an early 2nd round pick by the draft
Then let's draft a QB?
Seriously though. When you say "best" player available, what exactly do you mean? Best player now? Or best potential player in two years?
JJ Watt slipped to #11. He wasn't the BPA because he had some flaws. But he quickly corrected them.
What if the BPA is an OLB? And we draft him and he sits on the bench for 3 years (like Jason Worilds did)?
Isn't the best player the one who can provide you with the most return on your investment? That might be a pass catching red zone threat. Regardless of a slightly lower ranking, he produces TDs.
What if all of the players are "nearly" the same talent? And the BPA is difficult to determine. Because that's what it's shaping up like this year.
Last year, the Steelers went with the best player available on their board (Jarvis Jones) which as of right looks like possibly a mediocre choice.
I say draft an impact player that will produce in our system immediately.
Good work there. Interesting and close to my sentiments about going with almost all D. I am not crazy about Desir, but I just looked up Lokumbo (sorry, but I don;t watch much college ball). I think that OLB could be spectacular. Lokumbo looks like he could easily build muscle and not lose much speed, so he absolutely has the potential there. Aslso, if the Steelers chose to only use on a part-time basis, he could come in on passing downs because he cwertainly can cover TE's but also he has some very quick rush moves.
On top of that he seems very intelligent for his age, and a Canadian to boot. Here's hoping he ends up in Black and Gold.
Thanks for sharing that.
Every year it seems like these "draft experts" have Pittsburgh reaching for/filling a need in the first. General consensus every year is that Pittsburgh doesn't go for value in round one. For the last few years, at least, we're always projected to take a guy in the first because he's pretty good and we need to fill that position. I hardly ever see a mock draft where someone falls to us and we end up with a great pick, which is what happens almost every year.
McCullers possibly because he might end up being just as good as Nix. Nix in round 1? No, thank you.
Nice out-of-the-box thinking! Some might be a bit of a stretch…but if these are players the FO wants, I say go get them!
As I said, by best player I mean the one for which you have the highest rating, without consideration of positional needs.
With respect to your Jason Worilds comment: No matter how you draft, my way or any other way, you will always have failures and if your lucky, present surprises.
Steelers drafted Jarvis Jones because they needed a replacement for Harrison. They did not draft the best player, they drafted by position – outside linebacker. Jarvis was however, a fairly high rated player and would meet my criteria.
If you know the secret formula for determining how to determine a players impact before he ever plays a down, you shouldn't be blogging, you should be making millions as a draft consultant.
If you read my comment carefully you'll see it does allow a small amount of latitude (3 picks away).
I agree. Do you think it could be the lack of personnel that leads to less use of a NT? Like McLendon not being a "true" NT? Maybe they were waiting for a NT to develop but one never did so they adjusted accordingly. What are your thoughts?
I think there's a couple factors at play, one is Teams were attacking our aging secondary this past year so we played a lot of nickel and dime, also I think they were finding ways to get Worilds, Woodley and Jarvis on the field at the same time with two down linemen… McLendon did rather well against the run, for the most part, it was actually when he wasn't on field that we struggled in that area
He's not Cody. Drafting is always risky. I just feel like the risk versus reward here is worth it. Are last 4th round NT didn't work out all that well.(Ta'amu)
I like this draft and your analysis. Personally, I would prefer Marquise Lee over Benjamin at 1.15, but still very solid. I guess for a 7th round pick you could draft the best remaining TE on the board.
I like this, too, but I don't understand your reasoning in the first when you say "Would not be the matchup nightmare that Ebron would be, but our more immediate need is a #2 receiver." I think Cotchery will be back, and Wheaton is to be determined, though he looks to have much potential. If Ebron is on the field, he can be your #2 receiver out of certain formations. I like the idea of AB, Heath, Ebron, Bell, Will Johnson on the field where you can as easily pass as run out of the no huddle and the defense would have to go pretty vanilla. New England showed how dangerous an offense can be with two viable pass-catching tight ends. I just see Ebron as being a more versatile big receiver.
I don't buy the Ta'Amu argument. He went to the Cards because the Steelers were no longer willing to take a chance that he loses his mind again. What did he do there? He is starting on a team that has a great defense and getting better.
I like that you threw Aaron Colvin in there. Great teams can take these chances, like SF taking that RB last year. Most teams don't have the patience to make a pick like that. The Steelers used to make picks like that.
Ebron might end up being so scary good. Potential is incredible. Good point.
I would love this draft. I really like Jean-Baptiste for the reasons you stated and I think we will have to take him by R2 or he will be gone. Ebron or Benjamin in R1 would have similar impact, so either one. All the other picks would satisfy both value and need.
Cards run a 4-3. I said from the get go that he looked like a 4-3 DT, no way he'd work out in the 3-4. Had the workout strength, but the film I saw on him didn't show a Hampton in waiting. Just not a fit here.
Ta'amu only started by default because Dan Williams got hurt. He was a dud in the Steeler system.
Would be more interesting if mock authors would pay more attention to the development of players on the teams and their depth, rather than end of year stats and rankings, and especially what other mocks say. Certainly there is a strong case to be made for Nix, but it seems like they just slot what other people write.
Thanks, that's an excellent point. But you never know. Perhaps if he got a chance to play, he might have been fine. I guess the coaches must have figured there was no chance.
He missed 2 games with an ankle sprain and the Steelers play a lot of nickel formations which takes the NT off the field. NT is a 2 down position in today's NFL. Also the Broncos, Seahawks, and 49ers all play a 4-3 defense
I'm suggesting that while we all postulate over the use of more DB's, during the playoff run, it was the interior defensive line that was the cause of shutting down defenses, more so than having multiple DB's on the field.
3-4/4-3, does not matter. Those interior Defensive lineman did not come off the field much.
Seems to me that the defense, much like the offense, was covering weaknesses and may not have used the same approach if they were getting the results up front that we hope for.
"NT is a 2 down position in today's NFL".
Maybe on the Steelers, but not all teams took the NT off of the field as often. The Steelers have always taken the approach of playing the best players vs position need.
I've read over and over that the league has changed and it's more of a passing league and that the NT only plays 2 downs.
When you watched the playoffs – when it counts most, 4-3/3-4, you saw the interior D-line take over on the strong defenses.
The NT IS an important position, even though fans don't thinks so. This was my point.
Personally I think the reason you didnt see the 3-4 lineup as much this season is because they had to use a lot of nickel and dime packages to help the linebackers and secondary our due to the injuries. Also Mclendon isnt the right type of NT for our defense he seems to want to preassure thr qb more and not hog up 2 lineman like Hampton did.
I was split on Ebron and Benjamin for a variety of reasons. I honestly wouldn't mind having either, but I went with Benjamin because Ebron isn't a truly great run blocking TE, and I'm not sure he would figure into Todd Haley's plans as much as a #2 TE. Honestly, I think Ebron might end up being better than Benjamin. Like I said, flip a coin as far as I'm concerned.
No problem. Like I said, my favorite player. Hope we grab him.
I agree with this, its obviously a result of subpackages
I can agree with that
I mostly agree, I personally wish we still had Ta'amu on roster, we wouldn't be having this conversation because we would have our big body in the middle. With him, Heyward, McLendon, Woods/Hood, Arnfelt etc you could play all kinds different lines keeping legs fresh
Cody was projected as a mid to high-mid rd1 pick just like Nix. Sure their styles and frames are different. Cody has the quickest feet on a big man I've probably ever seen. Still, it's not enough.
Here is my question, did the Steelers choose to move to smaller NTs like McLendon and Woods or were they forced to beacuse there was no one in a Casey Hampton's size with his skills?
You've got it right.
He was not a dud in the Steeler System. In fact he worked out with Cam all off season and came in stronger, quicker and lighter. He definitely outperformed fang.
He is gone because the Steelers thought they had a ticking time bomb and for no other reason.
I agree i like your reasoning with your picks rw but i would hope we take ebron or another top tier TE instead of wr in the first if they looking for a wr they do their best work drafting later rds
I'll reserve my opinion of Nix till I see him at the combine. But most of what he's done this past season isn't impressive he's missed too many games due to injury, struggles with his weight, and has a questionable work ethic. I'd be more inclined to take Hageman to play DE and maybe see what he's got at NT or Aaron Donald mainly for his results on the field this past season as well as his pass rush ability leaving McClendon at NT. Nix seems to be too much risk outweighing a limited reward.
I always try to view tapes where ever I can of a player against the best teams they might have played against , if you really look closely at his tape of the national championship game vs. Bama, forget it, if you look closely at his tape against Michigan this past season, for the most part, he was blocked well by a center , guard from the wolverines , neither of whom will be drafted, he did show some movement laterally but always a little too late just to arrive after the play was made and did get some but little pressure inside against one of the worse qbs in college ball last season. I think we can do a lot better in round one, maybe take a shot if he is there in second round, .
I guess I thought Ta'amu didn't turn out to be what the team had hoped. Or do you think it was something else?
He may have worked out hard but any of his on the field time was a dud+character issues.
Say they do draft Nix, then what with Al Woods and or Steve McLendon?
On paper…Farrar is spot on in terms of the LeBeau system and the need for a NT.
My concern with picking Nix @ 15…in the biggest game of the season/career…Nix was a complete non factor playing against AL…guys that were NFL caliber players. Bama ran it right up the gut a lot which means Nix was not even holding his ground much less dominating and getting push.
With his injury history and the performance in that game I don't see him being much more than a 1 down player this season, and probably never more than that.
Bottom of the 1st round on team like NE…Nix makes more sense imo.
IMO the Steelers were moving to more of a pass 1st type team once Cowher left and Bruce Arians was promoted to OC. We saw a few position coach changes on OFC …I don't think any changes were made on the DEF staff at all aside from moving coach Mitchell to asst. HC.
The point I'm making here is being such a young HC I don't think Tomlin made those decisions, certainly not on his own.
Cowher left in part because of family as we all know, but personnel power played a part as well. I get the sense the 1st couple of drafts Tomlin did not have the kind of input that Cowher did…from what I've seen…last year was the most visible Tomlin has been in terms of draft preparation.
On the draft strategy…I agree 100% for the 1st round…BPA works most of the time unless you need a QB…you might have to leave a better player on the board if the QB is the 2nd or even 3rd rated prospect.
Not every draft produces a great crop if you will…looking back to Hood's draft year, I didn't find a lot of 1st rd picks behind him that are big demand FAs this year.
This year the Steelers are in a unique position to get a high rated player at a position of need and it could be any of 4 positions.
I think its something else.
Tomlin is a tampa cover 2 disciple so i really believe that if there is a cornee or safety who they grade higher than Nix then they will go with secondary in the 1st round. Dont be surprised if worildds (or woodley) is gone and they draft LB in first three rounds either
Man oh man i would love Marquise Lee or Darqueze Dennard to drop to us!!!! Lee will help explode this offense.. Dennard can really help the secondary out with Ike on his way out… My two favorites.. IF both are gone i would like Mosley although im still Optimistic about Spence. So Nix can work if we move McLendon to DE and let Nix clog the middle. If we bench McLendon for WHATEVER reason i will be upset. Him and Heyward are monsters

Scheduling Hard Real-Time Garbage Collection
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
Managed languages such as Java and C# are increasingly being considered for hard real-time applications because of their productivity and software engineering advantages. Automatic memory management, or garbage collection, is a key enabler for robust, reusable libraries, yet remains a challenge for analysis and implementation of real-time execution environments. This paper comprehensively compares the two leading approaches to hard real-time garbage collection. While there are many design decisions involved in selecting a real-time garbage collection algorithm, for time-based garbage collectors researchers and practitioners remain undecided as to whether to choose periodic scheduling or slack-based scheduling.

Finally we now have a levels systems. We're open to making changes on it and would appreciate feedback. The standard is at least 150 games played with the Pens: For last week, Paul Martin is in the Money Zone: He is doing everything he has been signed to do.

Ray Shero asked The Index if he wanted out last season: "I asked him if he wanted a trade," Shero told ESPN.com this week. "He was embarrassed by his year," Shero said. But Martin looked at his boss and insisted he wanted to stay. He told Shero he didn't want to take the easy way out. Moreover, Martin pledged to return this season a different player, the old player, the player that had made him one of the top free-agent defensemen on the market in 2010.

Running and jogging is an easy and convenient way to get in shape and meet people. Running is simply jogging FASTER. Running virtually no equipment and can be done anywhere, and can be done alone or in groups. If you have concerns about your heart or breathing discuss it with you doctor first.
Running shoes (sometimes called "cross-training shoes") should be both comfortable and lightweight and provide good arch and ankle support. Every foot and every shoe is different and you should try on the shoes you buy and even walk around for a few minutes to ensure a comfortable fit. Some optional items to consider are: a wristwatch/stopwatch, a water resistant wind suit (Gortex is best) for all-weather running, and a water bottle. Almost any sporting goods store sells the equipment, and there are several sports shoe even running specialty stores in the city.

Hey everyone,
We're in the midst of finals week here at CU, and people are stressed! Luckily for me, I had my two hardest finals yesterday (which is why I haven't posted anything until now), so I'm more than halfway done, and most of my stuff to do is packing and getting-ready-for-summer things. But for the past week, I was in code red mode trying to study for those two tests in Physical Chemistry and Biochemistry, both super hard classes (even for a science major). I think I logged as many hours in the library studying this week as I have in a plane, which is something like 35, so that's a lot of studying. I think those hours will pay off, and hopefully I'll get good grades in those classes. If not, then I hope the professors feel very, very generous when they are grading my tests. To give you an idea of what studying is like in college, here's a picture of a study spot I found in Norlin library. It's super quiet, and when I went, there was almost always a spot open.
I hope all of your semesters end well and good luck on your own finals!
