said association module further configured to not receive a reguest for an association with a mobile station from said mobile station after denying an association with said mobile station.
The present invention claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/332,956, filed on Nov. 19, 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Not Applicable.
The present invention relates generally to communication networks and, more particularly, to wireless communication networks.
Wireless communication networks for providing links to mobile stations are well known in the art. In one type of wireless network, a series of access points provide wireless connections to various mobile users. For example, a building can include access points located at strategic locations to serve mobile users as they move throughout the building. The mobile users migrate from access point to access point based upon the strength of beacon signals from the various access points. That is, the mobile stations use the strength of the beacon signals to select the best access point at a given point in time.
With changes in the channel environment and number of users in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system, different access points experience different loading. That is, the number of users served by each of the access points varies over time. Those access points that serve a relatively high number of stations (hot spots) can become overloaded and experience reduced performance. For example, an access point can become overloaded during a meeting in a conference room proximate the access point when the attendees attempt to connect their laptops to the corporate intranet.
It would, therefore, be desirable to adjust the loading of network access points to reduce network congestion.
The present invention provides a wireless network having access points with mobile station association admission/termination control for access point load balancing in accordance with the present invention. With this arrangement, overall network performance is enhanced by more efficient access point loading. While the invention is primarily shown and described in conjunction with wireless access points in a 802.11 network, it is understood that the invention is applicable to wireless networks in general in which it is desirable to distribute loading.
In one aspect of the invention, a wireless network includes a series of access points to which mobile stations can associate. In the case where an access point becomes relatively heavily loaded, or overloaded, the access point can decline association requests from additional mobile stations. In addition, an access point may terminate an existing association under certain conditions, such as where an associated mobile station has the option to associate with a further access point.
The invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
For example, a relatively highly loaded access point, here shown as APa, can determine that it should not accept additional associations, such as from MSc. Or this access point APa may terminate an association with the mobile station MSc. In one embodiment, the access point terminates an association with the mobile station having the greatest number of access point options. This mobile station MSc then looks for another access point, e.g., APb, to which an association request can be made, as described in detail below.
In an exemplary embodiment, after an association is terminated, the mobile station "remembers" which access point terminated the association and does not attempt to associate with that access point until a predetermined event occurs, e.g., a time interval expires, etc. This prevents the mobile station from bouncing around between access points.
In one embodiment, the access points AP receive information from the mobile stations MS indicating how many access points each mobile station can "hear." As used herein, a mobile station can "hear" an access point if the associated beacon signal is received by the mobile station at or above a predetermined power level. However, further techniques, such as error rates, for evaluating a link between an access point and a mobile station will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
It is understood that a determination as to whether an access point should accept an additional association or terminate an existing association can be based upon a wide variety of factors, including number of associated mobile stations, link bandwidth, expected traffic levels, traffic intensity, packet error rate, packet delay at the access point, and the measurement of the received signal power from a subset of stations. It is understood that these factors can be considered in a range of techniques, such as weighting selected factors.
It is further understood that the term "mobile station," as used herein, should be construed broadly to include various wireless devices, such as laptops, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, and the like. Similarly, the term "access point" should be broadly construed to include transmitters/receivers in general that can provide a radio link with a mobile station.
Before describing further details of the present invention, some basic concepts are now described. In conventional wireless networks having mobile stations served by various access points, such as in a 802.11 network, there is a standard procedure by which mobile stations associate themselves with an access point. The IEEE 802.11 standard is defined in International Standard ISO/IEC 8802-111, "Information Technology-Telecommunications and Information Exchange Area Networks," 1999 Edition, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Before a mobile station associates with an access point, it obtains information of nearby access points by scanning the frequency channels for their beacons. The access points typically send out beacon frames periodically.
In traditional WLANs, such as 802.11 networks, beacon powers of access points are kept at a fixed level. The mobile station simply chooses the access point with the best signal strength for association. However, it is possible that one access point may be already overloaded, although it has the strongest signal strength to the mobile station.
While the following descriptions are applicable to 802.11 WLANs, it is understood that the invention applies to wireless networks in general using similar formats and mechanisms. Table 1 below shows the beacon frame body of a management frame of subtype Beacon with each of the listed components specified in the 802.11 standard.
Typically, the mobile station can operate in either Passive Scanning mode or Active Scanning mode. In Passive Scanning mode, the mobile station listens to each channel scanned for no longer than a maximum duration defined by the ChannelTime parameter. The Active Scanning mode involves the generation of a Probe Request frame by the mobile stations, which is shown in Table 2 below, and the subsequent processing of a received Probe Response frame, which is shown in Table 3, by the access point.
After scanning the access point beacons, the mobile station adopts the BSSID (Basic Service Set ID: Access Point ID) and channel synchronization information in a Beacon (passive) or Probe Response (active) coming from the access point with the best signal strength. An Association/Reassociation Request is then issued by the mobile station as it attempts to associate with the selected access point. The access point then responds with an Association Response. The corresponding Association Request and Association Response frame formats are shown below in Table 4 and Table 5, respectively. It is understood that further actions, such as authentication, take place before or after the association phase.
In accordance with the present invention, an access point can admit/terminate mobile station associations based upon the loading level of the access point. The mobile station transmits information relating the number of access points that are available for association and the access points keep track of loading levels. Based upon mobile station options for association and access point loading, each access point accepts or rejects new association requests and selectively terminates existing associations to optimize overall access point load levels.
Referring again to
Due to a termination of an existing association between an access point, e.g., APa, and a mobile station, e.g., MSc, the mobile station MSc can attempt to associate itself with a further access point, e.g., APb. This in turn reduces the load and traffic intensity over the current access point APa.
Referring now to
In an exemplary embodiment, frequency option information can be conveyed in the Association/Reassociation request frame, which is shown above in Tables 4 and 5. These two management frames contain the same Capability Information field, which is used to indicate requested or advertised capabilities. In an illustrative embodiment, the length of the Capability Information field is two octets.
In another embodiment the capability information field uses one bit to indicate whether there is an alternative access point with sufficient signal strength available to the mobile station and uses additional bits (e.g., two to three bits) to indicate the rough signal quality of the alternative access point(s). This information can be used later by the current access point to assess if the particular mobile is able to move to the alternative access point.
As shown in
In an exemplary embodiment, an access point transmits a disassociation frame to a mobile station in the event that the access point has determined that an association should be terminated to enhance the overall access point loading. The disassociation frame body can contain a reason code associated with the termination. An exemplary list of reason code is set forth below in Table 6.
Upon receiving the disassociation frame, the mobile station stores the reason code and the transmitting access point. The mobile station, through the association module 402 of
It is understood that the mobile station can attempt to associate with a terminating/denying access point after a predetermined event, such as an expired time duration. A variety of other such events will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
In an alternative embodiment shown in
One skilled in the art will appreciate further features and advantages of the invention based on the above-described embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited by what has been particularly shown and described, except as indicated by the appended claims. All publications and references cited herein are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Wonderful! I was skeptical, because I've always prepared brisket with my outdoor smoker. That's time-consuming and lots of work, however. This is way simple and the results are really great. I followed the recipe precisely and I wouldn't change a thing. I'll be making this over and over!
This was the first beef brisket recipe I had ever tried. I didn't have any chili sauce, so I used mandarin sauce that I wanted to use up and I didn't have any liquid smoke. I cooked it for 3 hours on high and 2.5 more on low. It was perfect. It sliced/shredded. I thickened some of the sauce with cornstarch. It was so much easier than making pulled pork which always has too much fat to get rid of and takes a lot of time to shred. Beef Brisket is a new favorite. Thanks for a great recipe!
Gotta love a good crock pot recipe and this is one of them. Made as directed except I used celery salt since I did not have any celery seed on hand.

Indeed, it was a rough opening series for the Twins, who scored just five runs in their first three games while allowing 15. There were a few highlights, however: Justin Morneau has recorded a hit in all three games after missing plenty of time the past two seasons with a concussion, and new shortstop Jamey Carroll turned in a number of nice plays on defense. But the reality is that Minnesota is still without a win. Then again, so are the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. But who's counting? The Twins will look to get in the win column Monday, when they welcome the Los Angeles Angels to Target Field. Perhaps no team made more noise in free agency this offseason than the Angels, who inked...

My water started leaking this morning, no contractions yet but the midwives figure it'll be coming soon. If not in the next 24 hours then they'll have me come in to start monitoring baby and giving me some induction options, avoiding petocin or other drugs at all costs so we'll see what happens. In the meantime I'm going to get some laundry done (:
Yay! Congrats! Keep us posted if you are able to.
That's great, Smurfy! I hope it all goes just the way you want it to.
Mama to DS ('06), DD ('08), and DD (9.18.11).
Happy birthing vibes to you! I can't wait to hear your birth story! :)

mama to (4/05), (6/07vbac), (8/09vbac), and (9/11vbac)
How exciting. Here's hoping those contractions pick up soon.
Best wishes for a great labor/birth!
Thanks everyone! It's been about 5 hours and nothing yet, just water still leaking everytime I move, SO annoying. On the plus side at least I know this is labor and not just practice BH contractions anymore, even if I'm not having very many contractions, hardly any so far and they're not very strong. I know doctors insist that labor must start within a certain time period after the membranes ruptured, I'm going to just flop out on the couch for a while and try to get some rest, tough because I'm excited but I know this could be a long while yet.
Oops, editing, I meant to ask if anyone knows typical midwife protocol for ruptured membranes? I know doctors get nervous and want things started but I'm not sure how long midwives are willing to wait. They said this morning that after 24 hours they'll check on things but they didn't get into detail about my options after that, or how long they'll be willing to let things progress, or not progress, naturally.
Ooooh, good luck on a fast and easy labor!
I don't know about your midwife's protocol from ruptured membranes, maybe just call and ask? Also, a friend of mine had the same thing, leaking water started around 7am or so. She barely had that many contractions all day and when she did they were more like early labor...at 1030pm she went into transition and the baby was delivered by her at 11pm. I only share that story so you don't stress about your contractions just go about your day as usual! It'll happen :) Good luck!!

Good to know, it would be nice if it was that easy! Years ago the same thing happened to a friend of mine, water started leaking, she went to the hospital, they sent her home, and she had to go back the next day. They broke her water the next morning and she had the baby hours later, I think in total she was in labor for 48 hours or more. So you never know how it's going to go. Contractions have started a bit now but nothing strong enough to pay attention to, I'm trying to ignore them and get all of my laundry done.

I know my MW just says to keep drinking a lot of water because your body will use it to keep baby supplied with enough fluid in there. Have fun! (I love labor.) :)
Wife to the greatest guy, and mommy to six handsome and fun boys!
Ok one last update for the night. Contractions have been coming all afternoon but still not exactly regular. It seems if they're closer together they're shorter and weaker and if they're further apart they're longer and stronger. My midwife wants a decision from me in a few minutes about weather or not we're ready to head to the hospital. Contractions did seem to be every 3-4 min but now I they've slowed quite a bit and are shorter, so I may stay home and try to get some sleep. If I don't go in tonight I have to go in at 9 tomorrow morning for a NST and to check on the baby. Thanks again for all the support!
Smurfy - I hope you were able to get some rest, and that labor has started up and stayed regular on its own! Can't wait to read your birth story! Good luck!!!!
Valerie - Happily married to DH since 09/08

IQ SCORES really do go to pot after years of cannabis use. The most detailed study yet of the drug's long-term effects shows that those who start a weed habit as teens enter middle age with a significantly lower IQ than non-users.
Evidence is growing that cannabis-based drugs can have health benefits, but suspicions remained that persistent cannabis use from an early age could have a detrimental effect on cognition. Confirming those suspicions is tricky, though, since cognitive impairment observed later in life could have been present before the drug was first used.
Madeline Meier at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and her colleagues used a detailed health study which followed 1000 people in Dunedin, New Zealand, from birth until age 38. The data allowed them to compare IQ tests taken by the participants at age 13 - before any of them began using cannabis - with the same participants' IQ scores as adults.
The study showed that those who developed the most persistent dependence on the drug showed the greatest subsequent decline in IQ, losing an average of 6 points. Within that group, those who began taking the drug before their 18th birthday saw the biggest drop in IQ score, losing 8 points on average (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, doi.org/h7w).

Juventus convinced prising Podolski away from Arsenal
Juventus are lining up a bid for Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski. The Daily Mail says Juventus are the front-runners for Podolski's signature, and believe a £15m could tempt Arsenal to part with the Germany striker.
The north London club would want a profit on what they paid for Podolski, while the Serie A giants have the resources to beat his current deal of £100,000 a week.
Can Juve prise Podolski away? What if Arsenal finish outside the top four? Give us your shout below...

One silly thing that bothered me is that Bond didn't take at least one more shot at Silva when he did his bit with the subway.
There were some parts of this that were definitely silly and credibility straining but then again this is Bond after all so I don't hold that too much against it.
Was some truly beautiful shots in this, this will be one to watch again just for the sights.
It will be interesting to see where they go with the next movie having set up so many of the more traditional Bond trappings. Perhaps we'll get a less introspective adventure next time out.

I understand that Idris Elba has been in talks with Barbara Broccoli to take over someday; I wouldn't mind seeing that. (I'm watching the BBC series, "Luther," and Elba definitely has the acting/action chops).
As I've said before I think Idris Elba's name is bandied about in consideration for all roles. I don't know how he'll find time to be Bond until he's done being Doctor Who.

LV= Cup: Harlequins beat Bath 31-23 to reach final
Last Updated: 09/03/13 2:52pm
First-half tries from Tom Guest, Tom Williams and Karl Dickson saw Harlequins beat Bath 31-23 and reach the LV= Cup final.
Williams added his second try for the hosts in the second-half and fly-half Ben Botica kicked 11 points, converting all four tries before putting the issue beyond doubt with a late penalty.
Bath replied with tries from lock Francis Louw and full-back Nick Abendanon, with fly-half Tom Heathcote kicking their other 13 points.
Quins will play the winners of Sunday's semi-final between Sale Sharks and Saracens in the final at Sixways, Worcester, next Sunday, March 17, and remain on course for a treble including the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup.
Harlequins struck the first blow in the eighth minute when number eight Guest finished a superb move off the back of a lineout. Scrum-half Dickson found Botica, his inside pass released winger Williams and flanker Maurie Fa'asavalu sent Guest on a clear run to the posts to leave Botica an easy conversion.
Quins winger Williams then received a long pass from Bath centre Kyle Eastmond on his own 22-metre line and raced 80 metres to touch down, leaving Botica another simple kick.
Bath opened their account six minutes later when their pack power proved too much for the home side. Winning a lineout, their experienced forwards drove Quins back over their own line before Louw grounded the ball and Heathcote converted.
Then, after Guest was hauled down just short of the line, Dickson picked up and squeezed between Dominic Day and Stringer to score Quins' third try, with Botica again adding the extras.
A penalty from Heathcote reduced the Bath deficit to 21-10 just before half-time and, 30 seconds into the second half, he kicked another after Quins were caught offside.
But Harlequins struck again to stay in control with their fourth try in the 53rd minute. Botica found skipper Luke Wallace, who broke out of a tackle and passed outside for Williams to run in his second try, again converted by Botica.
But the home team suffered a serious blow when left-wing Sam Smith was yellow-carded for disrupting a Bath attack from a blatant offside position.
Bath, capitalising on their one-man advantage stayed in touch when Abendanon burst through for his side's second try, converted by Heathcote, who landed his third penalty in the 63rd minute to reduce the gap to five points and set up a tense finale.
Just before Smith returned, Bath had prop Nathan Catt sin-binned for illegally disrupting a Quins attack and Botica kicked the resulting penalty to seal victory.

About Our Data
The data featured on Ookla Speedtest is based on millions of test results from Ookla Speedtest, Ookla Speedtest mobile apps, and Pingtest.net. Roughly 5 million tests are run every day, and each test captures valuable data with which we've populated these pages.
Our Download, Upload, and Quality Index metrics are calculated based on the last 30 days of tests. Additionally, we've only factored in tests that take place with less than 300 miles between the client and the host.
Our Value Index and Promise Index metrics are derived from surveys taken after tests have been completed. Promise Index is a ratio of the actual download speed from a test with the tester's response to a question about their ISP's promised speed. Value Index is a calculation based on the monthly broadband bill, as answered by survey respondents.
Please report any corrections or concerns to email@example.com.

Why are some metrics N/A?
Our Promise, Value, and Quality metrics are based on surveys taken after a user has performed a Speed Test. For some smaller ISPs and locales, the number of surveys completed does not yet meet our minimum required to accurately calculate these metrics. In these cases we display a value of N/A (not applicable).

Originally written on Orange Fizz | Last updated 3/28/12
CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein is reporting Syracuse recruit Nerlens Noel will "ultimately wind up in Lexington." Recently, The Fizz dissected the New York Times' piece on the shady characters around Noel. It's not an indictment of the high school big man himself, but instead the questionable "handlers" many high-profile basketball recruits find themselves fending off. Rothstein stops short of saying Noel has made a decision already, only that it appears likely he will choose UK. Here's The Fizz's comprehensive coverage of Nerlens Noel Noel to Kentucky would not be a shock. Nerlens had reportedly narrowed his list down to UK, SU and Georgetown. But the Hoyas always seemed a long shot, and according to most insiders the Wildcats held an advantage over the Orange. The Fizz spoke to Noel on his visit to the Carrier Dome, and he seemed legitimately excited about the prospect of a "Transformers Lineup." But even the most optimistic SU fans knew it would take an upset to pry N2 from Kentucky....

It's the other side of the equation for the Tigers' success so far that's a little surprising. After six games at home, LSU is on the road for the first time of 2012-13. The Tigers (6-0) launch a three-game road trip by facing Boise State (6-2) at 8 p.m. Friday in Taco Bell Arena in scenic Boise, Idaho.

Raiders notebook: Lamarr Houston expects to be moving on
By Jerry McDonald
OAKLAND -- Defensive end Lamarr Houston is preparing himself for the second phase of his career.
Houston, scheduled for unrestricted free agency, started all 16 games at right end for the Raiders in 2013 after previously playing on the left side as well as occasionally inside at tackle.
He recorded his team-leading sixth sack against Peyton Manning in a 34-14 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday at O.co Coliseum and has been talked up by coach Dennis Allen as a core player, yet seemed to think he would be going elsewhere in 2014.
"I believe that Dennis Allen and the Raiders might be looking to move on and have me go to another team and find something more what they want for their system and their scheme," Houston said. "Who knows? It's a rough business, and nothing's guaranteed, and everything changes from day to day."
Houston and left tackle Jared Veldheer stand to be the most popular Raiders on the free-agent market. The Raiders have the franchise tag available, projected to be $12.6 million for a defensive end. The projected tag for an offensive lineman is $11.2 million.
The Raiders could opt to lock up either Houston or Veldheer long-term and then franchise the other, if they're determined to keep both players. They are expected to have some $50 million under the cap, with 17 players in all scheduled for unrestricted free agency.
Veldheer, who missed the first 11 games of the season after surgery to repair a torn left triceps, is hoping to return to the Raiders.
"Going through an injury, that kind of screws that stuff up, but I'm sure now that there's time, it will start to heat up again, and I definitely want to be a Raider for life."

Home Kent News Article
Shocking figures released by the Health & Social Care Information Centre show Dartford and Gravesham youngsters tipped the scales as the county's largest.
In Kent as a whole, more than 15,000 children aged four and five, in reception year, and more than 14,000 children aged 10-11, in year 6, were measured and placed into one of four categories: underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese.
The survey highlights the worrying trend towards obesity over just six years.
When youngsters start school just under 9% are obese. By the time they start secondary school an average of more than 18% in Kent are classed as obese.
In most areas across the county the levels of obesity double during those crucial years.
As a nation, the proportion of obese children, from both age ranges, has reduced from last year.
Dartford MP Gareth Johnson said: "As a parent myself I have experienced the challenges involved in trying to drag your child away from the Xbox, computer games, and plasma screens in order to get them to do some exercise.
"Most people agree this is something we need to address but parents do not want lectures from government but tips and suggestions.
"There is a lot of work being carried out in schools and in the community generally that seeks to promote a healthy lifestyle. This work should continue to be supported."
A spokeswoman for The Gr@nd Healthy Living Centre in Gravesend said: "Childhood obesity is not just a Gravesham and Dartford issue, it is a national problem as people move less and eat more convenience foods which are usually higher in fat and sugar.
"The good news is that there is lots of support and advice.
"We need to tackle people's misconceptions. People think that eating well and getting active means only eating boring food, running marathons and spending lots of money on ingredients and gym membership."
Experts at Dartford's Healthy Living Centre and Gravesham's The Gr@nd encourage people to seek health advice.
Both health centres run a free, fun programme for families called Don't Sit Get Fit, funded by Kent County Council.
With the help of an activity coordinator and nutrition workshops, families can become healthier together.
For more general information on getting fit visit Kent County Council's website.

Chances are that if your data center looks anything like the typical infrastructure we see on a day to day basis, you may be wasting money. I'd like to apologize if that seems rather straightforward, but it's the truth. The deployment of virtualized environments facilitated by traditional blade server architectures is a movement that continues to be adopted by more and more companies. Like anything else, the devil is in the details—and the details aren't being weighed appropriately.

Isn't it crazy to think that over 70% of midsize companies are still using outdated phone systems because they think IP-based systems are beyond their budget and IT skill level?
As we all know… with IP telephony the handset is no longer a digital device hanging off a copper loop from a PBX. Instead, the handset lives on the network as another computer device. And the overall goal is to no longer strictly on the telephony (or voice) portion of daily communications. Rather, it is on an affordable communications solution that integrates multiple UC applications on a single platform, including voice, mobility, messaging, conferencing, presence, and contact center capabilities that extends to all devices a person may use, enabling mobility. The question becomes, "Can I get end-to-end collaboration capabilities, ready-to-run virtualization, an open and interoperable architecture, in a solution that is affordable, secure, and easy-to manage?" Read on for the answer.

Is your IT infrastructure bursting at the seams? Maybe your data center equipment is getting outdated? And you, like many companies, are overwhelmed by the way your critical data seems to just keep growing? Now just might be the time to upgrade to brand new equipment throughout your data center. Modernizing your infrastructure can bring the relief your IT operations need, while enhancing manageability, security, and access. And believe it or not, lower your overall costs.

Like many organizations, you may be exploring the complex world of server virtualization, and you need solutions to help avoid VM sprawl, simplify data center infrastructure, and streamline how you manage the whole thing. Sounds a bit daunting, perhaps? It doesn't have to be. Let's dig into the benefits of Unified Computing—and why it's a solid choice for server consolidation, virtualization, and centralized data center management.

One of the best days for draft aficionados, fans got two rounds in around the same amount of time the first happened last night. NFL fans saw nearly three times as many trades occur on day two, 13 in total, nearly half of which came from the San Francisco 49ers with five. But just because your team was successfully able to trade, doesn't always mean they were one the winners from day two. They could easily be one of the losers of day two as well.
The Losers of day two of the 2014 NFL Draft
Two days in a row the Tennessee Titans are on this list and for the wrong reasons. Yesterday it was because they drafted an offensive tackle when they have starters at that position and today it's because the Titans used their only pick on day two to select a running back, Bishop Sankey. The Titans did lose long time running back Chris Johnson to the New York Jets. But they did bring in Dexter McCluster, a player very similar to Sankey, a guy who can catch balls out of the backfield and help take some pressure off of quarterback Jake Locker. Nevertheless we are going into the third and final day and their two biggest needs on defense, cornerback and outside linebacker/defensive end have not been addressed. Lucky for them, only nine cornerbacks have been taken at this point, maybe one of "their guys" will be available when they pick in the fourth-round.
Another loser of day two in my eye's, occurred when the Seattle Seahawks actually decided they wanted to join the party and drafted wide receiver, Paul Richardson. The third fastest receiver in this year's draft, also one of the smallest ones. Richardson weighed in at 175 at the combine and recently boasted about getting up to 183. While he is known for his speed and route running, he is also unfortunately known for his drops. Why it really doesn't make sense though, is because the Seahawks already have a fast receiver around 6'0" that also weighs around 185, Percy Harvin. One that can't stay healthy because of the big hits he takes from guys who weigh 20 or 30 pounds more. Be it as it may, the Seahawks really aren't known for their offense, most of the recognition they receive comes from their play on defense. But, it wouldn't hurt to give Russell Wilson a big target to throw too. Maybe the Seahawks do that with one of their picks on day three…
The Winners of day two of the 2014 NFL Draft
The team that stood out the most to me was the San Francisco 49ers. If you include the trade to get Stevie Johnson, in which they gave up a 2015 fourth round pick that could potentially turn into a third, the 49ers traded five times on day two. The first player they acquired after two trades actually, was running back Carlos Hyde. The best running back on most every ones big boards. But why a running back? Frank Gore will be a free agent next year, LaMichael James could be on his way out via trade, Kendal Hunter has never carried the whole load and Marcus Lattimore's knee hasn't been subjected to the NFL yet. Furthermore, Hyde is the big physical running back needed in the vaunted NFC west.
Their next pick, center Marcus Martin filled a need they were unable to satisfy during free agency after the 49ers failed to re-sign Jonathon Goodwin. Martin was also considered by most as a second rounder, the 49ers drafted him the in the third. Drafting inside line back Chris Borland also made sense, considering Navorro Bowman will likely miss half the regular season and they could use some competition, if Michael Wilhoite can't meet expectations.
The 49ers last pick was of great value, the offensive tackle Brandon Thomas was also considered by most to be a second rounder before he tore his ACL, while he was working out for the New Orleans Saints. With the 49ers having some depth on the offensive line, there is no need to rush Thomas back. He can red-shirt for them and compete in 2015 when he's healthy, much like Marcus Lattimore will do this year.
The Houston Texans despite not addressing their biggest need, quarterback. They got three guys on day two that can come in and make an immediate impact. Xavier Su'a-Filo is the highest rated guard, but also has some experience at left tackle. He's the aggressive Guard the Texans need, since they are going from a zone-blocking scheme to a man. The teams next pick C.J. Fiedorowicz, addressed the need they lost when long time staple Owen Daniel departed.
Fiedorowicz is able to make the tough catches down the field and he can also do something that seems to be a dying art for tight ends, block. It's worth nothing that Bill Obrien also ran a lot of two tight end sets at Penn State. The Texans then traded up to get Louis Nix III and wisely so, at one point Nix was getting slotted in the first of almost every mock draft. Nix really isn't a pass rusher, but he will command double teams, giving J.J. Watt and new addition Jadeveon Clowney the one on one match-ups they so highly covet. Shoring up that defensive line for the foreseeable future. Watch out, Andrew Luck.

Joseph's pit came in the form of a cistern. Yours came in the form of a diagnosis, a foster home, or a traumatic injury. Joseph was thrown into a hole and despised. And you? Thrown into an unemployment line and forgotten, into a divorce and betrayed, into a bed and abused. The pit. Life is reduced to one quest: to get out and never get hurt again. Not simply done. Pits have no easy exit. Joseph's story got worse before it got better. Abandonment led to enslavement, entrapment, and imprisonment. He was sucker-punched. Sold out. Mistreated. People made promises only to break them. Offered gifts only to take them. If hurt is a swampland, then Joseph was sentenced to a life of hard labor in the Everglades. Yet he never gave up. Bitterness never staked its claim. Anger never metastasized into hatred. His heart never hardened; resolve never vanished. He not only survived; he thrived. By the end of his life, Joseph was the second most powerful man of his generation. His life offers this lesson: in God's hands, intended evil becomes ultimate good. Joseph would be the first to tell you, life in the pit stinks. Yet, for all its rottenness, doesn't the pit do this much? It forces you to look upward. Someone from up there must come down here and give you a hand. God did for Joseph. And at the right time, in the right way, he will do the same for you.

"Getting Beyond Church - Making it Real"
This book was very much worth making a review. I read a lot of Christian material but this was my first Max Lucado book. I have heard of him and some of his material but this was the first full book. He tackles what is a very tough issue in a very biblical way. If you know the Lord and you are dealing with something very painful I highly recommend this book. Even if you aren't (at the moment) it is a great resource to go deeper with who our Father in heaven is, what he did for us thru His son Jesus Christ, who we are and how he wants us to know ourselves and him. I will listen to this again for sure.
"Extremely Dull Nothing New"
Same thing all over again. I've probably heard these things 1000 times before this book.
Maybe. He was not that bad.
There are really hidden gems but that's it. Probably not worth your time.
