Office Space Per Worker Will Drop to 100 Square Feet or Below for Many Companies Within Five Years, According to New Research From CoreNet Global
PR Newswire
ATLANTA, Feb. 28, 2012
ATLANTA, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- New data released today from CoreNet Global show for the first time that for many companies, the average allocation of office space per person in North America will fall to 100 square feet or below within the next five years.
By 2017, at least 40% of the companies responding indicated they will reach this all-time low benchmark of individual space utilization, which has been the case in Europe for the past several years but is now heading for the Americas.
The average for all companies for square feet per worker in 2017 will be 151 square feet, compared to 176 square feet today, and 225 square feet in 2010.
"The main reason for the declines," said Richard Kadzis, CoreNet Global's Vice President of Strategic Communications, "is the huge increase in collaborative and team-oriented space inside a growing number of companies that are stressing 'smaller but smarter' workplaces against the backdrop of continuing economic uncertainty and cost containment."
CoreNet Global, which conducted the survey, is the worldwide association for corporate real estate and workplace professionals.
Today, just 24 percent of the respondents reported that the average space per office worker is 100 square feet or less; however, 40 percent reported that within five years, the average space per office worker would be 100 square feet or less.
It is clear that the amount of space dedicated solely to specific employees is steadily shrinking. A majority of the respondents, 55 percent, reported that square feet per worker has already decreased between 5 and 25 percent over the last five years.
"There are number of additional factors contributing to the decline in the amount of space per worker," said Kadzis. "More companies are adopting open floor plans in which employees do not have any permanently designated space at all; rather they use unassigned space when they are in the office, settings that often change daily. This trend is enabled by technology and by cost measures, as they require smaller foot prints."
CoreNet Global will continue to track this downward pressure on designated office space per worker over time.
The CoreNet Global benchmark survey was conducted in February 2012. More than 465 global managers of corporate real estate responded.
CoreNet Global is the world's leading association for corporate real estate (CRE) and workplace professionals, service providers, and economic developers. Our more than 7,000 members, who include 70% of the top 100 U.S. companies and nearly half of the Global 2000, meet locally, globally and virtually to develop networks, share knowledge, learn and thrive professionally.
CoreNet Global itself reduced its total office space and space per person by nearly 20% last year in a transformation of its downtown Atlanta headquarters.

This weekend's MVC action aimed to please the fan no matter what their disposition. If they were looking for an offensive display, they need look no further than Wichita, KS, where three Shockers players combined for 21 runs batted in—more than any other TEAM put up on the weekend. If they were looking for good pitching, they had to look no further than Peoria where Illinois State pitchers compiled a dumbfounding 26 strikeouts against Bradley hitters—on Saturday alone. The end result: Creighton sits atop the conference with 5-1 record, while Illinois State, Missouri State and Southern Illinois all sit in second with records of 4-2.

conflictive, sometimes cooperative. Physical expansion of the
campus is an inevitable by-product of the growth of higher
education, and often the responsibility to accommodate that growth
falls upon the host city. Cities and universities continually draft
master plans in efforts to optimize their growth while sharing and

Hi Jessica + Ksenyia!
Will you be sending out more information about Type on the Cob II? I'm registered and trying to plan my trip but there's not a lot of information about vending on Saturday, meals, etc.
Hi Jessica and Kseniya,
Thanks for the warm welcome! I am very much enjoying your site, and deriving much inspiration from looking at the work of the members.
Chris Bayley
Thank you so much for having me! I am so excited to be back printing again!
Hi Guys
Thank you for the warm welcome!
Dear Jessica and Scott,
Congratulations on your newest criminal and hero! Milo is a fine-looking little pressman--impressive muscles and appearance. When my youngest was born in 1988, the family was printing a Gocco Press "Namaste ji" card, so we immediately decided to include Genevieve, by taking one foot and smearing it through the ink surface. Cards turned out great. Feel free to do likewise with Milo. The sooner we support "Babies" of Letterpress, the better. At this point Genevieve is four months pregnant with her first, so I may have to set up the Gocco for a reprise of the Mama's plunge of 26 years ago into the world of letterpress. Best wishes, David L. Kent, APA 599 and Genevieve Kent Elbaor APA 711.
Thank you very much Ladies for the warm welcome. I hope to be posting some photos and stuff shortly, but I am so excited to have discovered you!
Thanks ladies! So excited to be a part of the community and to learn from all of you!
Thank you for the warm welcome.
I just found you and feel lucky I did.

CBS Sports draftniks Rob Rang and Dane Brugler have both released a new set of mocks of the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and both have gone in entirely different directions with the Pittsburgh Steelers 15th overall selection.
Rang, who in his last mock draft had the Steelers drafting Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix even after they had signed free agent safety Mike Mitchell, now has Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard landing in Pittsburgh.
The once-proud Pittsburgh defense has fallen off in recent years and reinforcements are needed at all three levels. Given his polish, aggression and schematic fit, Dennard would make a lot of sense.
As for Brugler, who previously had the Steelers taking Dennard in round one, he now has Michigan tackle Taylor Lewan slotted as Pittsburgh's choice.
I fully expect this pick to be a defensive player, either a nose tackle like Louis Nix or cornerback like Darqueze Dennard. But if a talented offensive tackle like Taylor Lewan is still available, it would be tough to pass him up, giving them a cornerstone on the line – the Steelers aren't one player away from the Super Bowl.
You cant help but wonder if the recent report about Lewan by fellow CBS Sports college football analyst Jeremy Fowler swayed Brugler's choice this time around. Fowler wrote a few days ago that the Steelers have really been doing their homework on the Michigan tackle, who was recently charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault or assault and battery stemming from an incident on Dec. 1, 2013. In addition, both Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and new offensive line coach Mike Munchak were present for the Michigan Pro Day, so Brugler might be factoring that into his choice as well.
As for Rang's choice of Dennard, he's not really going out on a limb there, but it's good to see him finally get off of the safety bandwagon.
Let's talk more about Dennard and Lewan in the comments below.
I would love to see the Steelers take Dennard or Justin Gilbert. All the pieces are in place for a talented DB to succeed here (Carnell Lake, and Tomlin's background as a DB coach). The Steelers really haven't had a play making corner since Lake and Woodson retired and turnovers are an essential part of winning in today's game.
I just don't see them going OL again at 15. Considering the amount of moves made during FA for the defense, the Cornerback is a no brainer. If Dennard is gone before 15 then all bets are off.
I just don't see them going OT in the first round. Too many needs. I think CB is more likely unless Evans drops to 15.
I've done a little more homework on the DB's, and I am now convinced that Gilbert is not worth a top 15 pick. Dennard, in my opinion, is the top CB, and I'd have no problem taking him at 1.15. Lewan/Dennard would be a really tough call if both were available. I guess I'd go Dennard based on need, but man would Lewan be tempting.
I think passing on Kelvin Benjamin would be a mistake. Ben had great chemistry with Plax when he had him. I think Benjamin is the same type of receiver. Get Ben a new toy at WR and find the other components later in this deep draft. The FSU to Pittsburgh pipeline has gotten better since Alonzo Jackson and Willie Reid.
What made you not like gilbert?…even though hell more then likely be drafted before 15
Yea Dennard is the better player and he was ranked that way before the combine, but Gilbert put up a 4.37 and then everyone anointed him the best, that and he has kick return ability
I could see it if dennard, gilbert, mike Evans, mosley, and ebron are all gone…it comes down to Benjamin, reaching for a 5 technique, drafting a smaller receiver, or a tackle…with those choices It wouldn't surprise me
Being that Gilbert is in his final yr, we don't know what we have in Adams and Beachum is the ultimate overachiever Lewan would be a nice pick.. but, we need CBs and we have a chance to get one of the two best in this entire draft
Regardless of our needs I think Taylor Lewan is a better pick at 15 than Dennard or any of the other CBs and WRs.
I know most don't believe OL is a priority but our running game could be special with the addition of Lewan and A real OL coach. Bell could win a league MVP or two with that. What better way to help the defense then to keep the ball?
how is dennard a schematic fit? he very rarely played any zone.
I laughed when he wrote even with the signing of Mike Mitchell, they are going to select Dix. Lol unless he can play corner its not going to happen.
I've been scratching my head about the Dennard fit too. That said, he is a very good player and could be worth it.
I have no problem taking Lewan.
It certainly could be that the CBS report about the Steelers doing their homework on Lewan influenced Rang, but this could be another case of a national reporter being behind the curve on the Steelers (or any team) and failing to recognize how things have changed more recently. The fact is, while there's a lot of uncertainty on the O-line, it became something of a strength later in the 2013 season and could improve further as is under Munchak this year. You've got a Pro Bowler at C, one of the best young guards in the game, and three tackles who have shown either flashes of excellent play or periods of overall solid play, or who still have a good deal of untapped potential. Why not let this year play out with what we've got and address other needs in the draft: a potential #2 (or even #1) WR, depth at RB, and, well, everything on D?
The point is, Rang's pick is based as much as anything, it seems to me, on the reputation of our O-line that is still implanted in so many national reporters' heads. Those who actually follow the team closely know that that reputation isn't entirely deserved.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not breaking down tape on my own and I'm by no means an expert. But I do read a lot of the reports. And most of them are pretty consistent with what they say about Gilbert, which is that he has big play potential, but he'll also give up big plays by guessing wrong; that he's not a great tackler; and that he'll grab on deep throws and draw penalties.
Good point, unless we are changing to a press D. I can only hope.
With Dennard technically we would have the personnel to play more press with Allen, shark, the new safety and Dannard.
The Steelers used to play a lot of man coverage with Ike before his skills deteriorated. Remember when Ike would follow AJ Green all over the field? That was man coverage.
I'll tell you what, a player that excels at press coverage would be a welcomed sight, even though we don't use it very much. I remember that game against the Patriots back in 2011 when we dominated on D and held Brady to under 200yds.. and we did so using press man coverage the entire game
that's why I love mock drafts. Like you noted the guy has us taking a safety even after signing Mitchell, extending Troy and still hoping Shamarko Thomas takes a big leap in year 2. The key this year is they could go anywhere but QB and RB if the right player drops in their lap. I thing CB , especially if Gilbert falls, unless a stud drops like DeCastro did a few years back
You just described Seattle's supposedly great CB's and they get away with it on almost every play.
I know it's tough to keep up. First they change the rules so that it's all offense. Now they are letting DB's get away with more so that they don;t end up scoring 100 points a game.
After reading the Lewan article I have him and Dennard running neck and neck down the finish line to draft day with Dennard in a slight lead.
I hope they pick WR our DB Lewin didn't look good last year hope they don't get caught up in his combine 40 he got beat a lot with speed rushers are line played good last 8 games they finally have chemistry we can get a tackle later to me he's a 2nd rd pick anyway to much baggage.
I will never forget that game. The plan worked to a T. Brady was furious. And I thought it was a sign of things to come. I don't know what happened, but obviously it can be done.
And do you remember the offense that day? Ben was nickle and diming all day. Short passes, and ball control and they could have won by 20, except for the feeble Red zone that day. Something else that still needs addressing.
I'd be ecstatic to see more man-to-man as guys like Allen would be even better.

Exactly, you said it.. it can be done
Like michigans was with him they had a terrible running game we need playmakers u can get a good linemen in later rounds that's what makes nunchak a great line coach he take guys you never herd of an makes them all pro.
That could be the case, but it could just as easily have something to do with teams possibly passing on Lewan due to character red flags plus the Steelers doing their homework on him and their reputation for going BPA.
Your 100% right. That is why if they take Lewan I will be excited because that means they really believe in him. I am not pushing for him or anyone else. I trust the organization to make the best decision. If they don't draft any OL this draft I will believe they feel good with what we have. Also good. I do believe that football is a power game that people get away from mistakenly. Run the ball and stop the run. It all branches off from that. Without that foundation those other branches can't grow.
That was 2004, Ben likes small speedy guys like Brown, Holmes Wallace
Agree he's BAA, but he will be gone by then
And we fix the red zone issue we have with evans in the first. CB in second
Lewan is head and shoulders better than Dennard
Dennard would be a nice addition but i do like the versatility of Gilbert. Dennard paired with Allen would give us a couple of CB's that can play press. Part of our problem last year is that Ike couldn't play press like previous years on the #1 Wr's. Allen excels at press but not so when he plays off the ball in zone coverage. In order for our defense to generate more turnovers/sacks/pressures we have to play more press coverage.
Ya the closest thing we've had was "Big Play" Deshea Townsend
I'll be pissed if they take a WR (excpet Mike Evans) in the first round in a draft that is extremely deep at the position. They should go Gilbert/Dennard if one is available and if not then BPA.
Anyone who remembers things I've said knows that I put very high value on listening to what Deion Sanders says about the DB's…because I've noticed through years of watching the combine that he has a very great talent at spotting DB's…(both CB's and Safeties)…and also in "red-flagging" DB's/S's. And by gosh, if you watched the DB portion of the combine, Deion was NOT high on Dennard…at all. In fact, he went so far as to say something similar to: "I've had to catch myself…because I'm being too hard on Dennard. He's a press/bump-and-run corner…that's what he is…so he probably will be great if that's what they ask him to do." Well, that's not what the Steelers usually ask their corners to do. So I hope the projection is incorrect…and my money says it IS incorrect. I predict the Steelers will hope for mack/Watkins to fall far enough to trade up….that won't happen…then hope for Gilbert to fall to them…that won't happen. And then, it becomes intriguing. my gut says Aaron Donald is WAY higher in the mix than most people think. And for the record, I'd love that. mcClendon would move to DE and backup NT…Thomas would be a 3rd swingman. And y'all Pittsburghers would know better than me, but I watched the Donald highlight tape, and he looks special. He kind of blew me away. That's my gut…and it's a pretty big gut.
Pick your poison. Do you want a great running game and continue not being able to stop the run and folks scoring on us? I think Bell showed us that he can be special even with this o-line. Adding Munch was the best move. The line was also without Pouncey. Add to that a few of them on the o-line are due for a contract this year.
Its a no-brainer to me. Stop the bleeding on the defense. Its what wins championships. We wrote the book on that in the Burgh.
I am not even good at evaluating players since I'm almost new to football, I do know some but still.
When I started hearing about draft prospects I liked Dennard. I still want him at 1:15 and feel ok about it. But I wouldn't mind Gilbert, Ebron, Evans, and in that time Ha Ha or Pryor, but I really don't understand CJ Mosley and Lewan. I mean, it would be ok and I would be upset, but I like the OL and think they will be a lot better this year. Even Gilbert since he is the guy everybody think he's the one going to be benched if they draft Lewan. Give Munchak a year to work with them and they will probably be fine.
But everything can happen, and I trust them to select the best for the team. So I'm looking forward the draft. Damn you Goodell because you moved it to May. Now I have to wait like another 3 weeks. Lol.
I agree d-line is priority number one but at pick 15? Middle linebacker at 15? Stopping the run, I don't see happening at pick 15. CB maybe but really deep draft for them. Kelvin Beachum proved last year he can protect Ben but he doesn't run block well. Munch can fix that? If so great! Munch is a great hire. I agree with you there!
Yes I, like you see him as a 2nd round prospect for us- not because of his baggages though, got more to do with his skillset vs Beachem. Beachem probably have cemented his status as a starting left tackle, if we were to get Lewan, it'll be because Steelers FO are unsure about Mike Adams and Marcus Gilbert's pending status as a free agent.
Dennard on other hand, really doesn't make any sense when he's unlikely to start nor take away playing time from Taylor, Gay, and Allen. We have Shamarko for dimes package, so… he's a luxury.
We should never take account in those mock drafts anyway, most of the time they just look at the FA we just lost (Ryan Clark, James Harrison come to mind) and say they will want to replace them when they never actually account for the position we desperately want to address. Only time I have seen a mock draft that's right and it was Jarvis Jones, sadly.
Donald is a 4-3 guy, tons of talent, good technique and very strong but he just projects in a different scheme
Ok. It just seemed like his legs looked so huge. Ya know? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't both Steed and Hampton play in a 4-3 in College? I'm not disagreeing with you, because you probably watched him play quite a bit…and maybe he just isn't as "stout" as those 2 probably were….but I'll just say this as a "follow-up question"…Are you saying that 1)Donald is best suited to be a 4-3 one gap DT…or are you saying that 2)he would be ineffective as a 3-4 2-gap NT?" my gut says #1 would be correct, and #2 would be incorrect. But I acknowledge you've probably watched him way more than me, so I'm not even arguing with you…cuz I luv ya, Steeltown…just furthering the Donald dialogue.
If we don't draft SPEED on D in the first two rounds then we've completely missed the obvious weakness of our beloved Steelers in 2012 & 2013. We are a step slow at every level on D. We can add offensive weapons in the later rounds. We don't need a top 15 lineman, tight end, or receiver this year. Am I the only one that thinks that?
If there was nothing in the cupboards as far as OTs are concerned I'd definitely want Lewan. But as of right now there seems to be OTs every year and granted the Steelers have missed out on plenty. I just feel the Steelers OL is more then capable of leading this offense moving forward with the pieces it has in place. The Steelers still are competitive on offense w/o Lewan.
As far as Dennard's concerned I believe this kid has a bright future ahead of him.
We'll see what Munch can fix. I have more hope for him helping Beachum who played well but is no pro-bowler. If you said Gilbert and Adams, that's where Munch will earn his pay check though Adams can run block.
CB at 15 is the no-brainer. I like what the offense did the last six games and we did not have an healthy Heath or Pouncey.
Lewan has some off field concerns. He is currently facing an assault charge and years ago he allegedly threatened a rape victim not to report the crime which involved one of his teammates.
I haven't heard much about that in any draft discussions so maybe there just isn't enough proof of it to bring it up. But NFL teams will have their own investigators look into their potential high picks and if they even think it may be true, some teams may have him off their board.
Steelers are generally conservative so my guess is that if they get any reports that say it may be true that Lewan threatened a rape victim, he's off their board.
I would be surprised if they took a tackle in the first round. There are many far greater needs than that, especially with how well the line played in the last half of the season last year.
I agree with you saying Dennard is the better CB right now but I think Gilbert has the potential to become one of the best CBs in the NFL That being said neither are worth a top 15 pick IMO. Reasons are, that Gilbert doesn't do a good job of getting his hands on guys in press and allows too many easy catches when he plays off coverage and he is really bad at tackling in space so that is a double no. plus gets blocked out of plays far to easy these things can be fixed but it will take time. When Gilbert is finally at his potential he will cost too much too keep or we would have to break the bank to keep a guy like him.. and fir Dennard he is short, slow, and holds far too much to get away with it in the NFL. He we were picking at 20 I would love both of these guys. But I think there will be a true GAME CHANGER in year one at 15.
Beachum looks good because they cover him up. He's good enough to get in a pass rushers way, which works out fine when Ben is in shotgun, or takes a 3 step drop. However, Beachum has a hard time holding off his man long enough for Ben to take a 5 step drop, which limits his ability to throw down field. Beachum also needs to improve his run blocking.
Long story short, the game plan hides his weaknesses. If he were a better run blocker, then it might be worth trying to get by with Beachum for a while. Lewan is nasty in the run game, and his pass blocking is at least as good as Beachum.
As you said, Gilbert's contract is up at the end of the year. Adams and Beachum's contracts are up a year later. Almost two thirds of the Steelers current contracts expire by the end of 2015, so that's a lot of potential players to resign. The Steelers would be better off replacing marginal players through the draft, so they can focus on resigning the players they really want to keep, instead of the ones they feel they need to keep.
I agree completely with you on Beachum/Adams/Gilbert. Those two tackles (Adams/Gilbert) are still in flux. However, disagree about Dennard. His starting right away is not the issue. Drafting for the future is. He's every bit the first rounder and Ike is just about done. Not everyone can be Pouncey or Jarvis and start right away. It takes a little bit to "cook" in Dick's defense.
There is no future or team speed in the secondary outside of Cortez/Shamarko and its high-time we got a good DB back there.
If he falls, I say grab him!
If Evans, Gilbert and Dennard are gone, I think they would take Nix over OL. Given the scenario where Evans, Gilbert and Dennard are gone, I hope they find a way to trade down, but I know it will be tough to find a trading partner. I dont like the Ebron idea and I cant see them taking a MLB until the current situation sorts itself out. Lewan makes sense if you are looking two years forward when Gilbert is gone and Adams is the RT. Heck, he may be able to start now…only Beachum is standing in his way. I hate to underrate KB…. he is good, but…. so is a Honda Civic.
Don't tell Ike that. For years he though he was All Pro material. But with hand of stone it was tuff for Ike to get an interception…. If the Steelers do take a secondary person, it would be nice to take Gilbert, Dennard or Ha Ha. Can never have enough DB's
It may be a long shot, but with the red flag for his recent off the field character issues, any chance Lewan slides into the 2nd round?
Ben has been begging for a tall reciever for years
How many people are tired of hearing that we are not one player away from sb. There were alot of teams not looking forward to us getting in the playoffs.
With you on what you say. Also a BIG problem was the turnover of 3 OL coaches in 3 years sure did not help the young guys. Different system every year, probably had their head spinning. Hopefully Munch sticks around and gives them the help they need to exceed.
I just tell people that every year some team goes worst to first and makes the playoffs. So nothing is out of the question.
doesn't make enough sense to get Lewan. He's good but they have three adequate/good tackles already so picking two to start and do well shouldn't be a problem. Steelers just have too many starter holes to fill (CB, ILB, DE, big receiving target) to be spending a 1st rd pick on a position where we already have two good starters (I really think Mike Adams will win the RT spot and Beachum is a solid LT). Plus Lewan has major issues…unable to control his temper at times, very dumb penalties (remember Willie Colon?)…has above average potential to screw up off the field.
You might want to temper your Deion Sanders praise as a cb talent evaluator. I recall deion beaming and gushing over our recently released Curtis Brown during his combine drills. I had high hopes for Brown and thought hey Deion likes him . . . that didn't work out. I also like Aaron Donald quite a bit. While he may be best suited for a 4-3, I feel he's a football player that's strong & fast, and LeBeau could find a place for him.
Glad other observant fans realize beachum is a backup at best.
How good was the Titans line the last two years. Chris Johnson has been getting destroyed. Sure, Munch can coach but the Titans showed everyone what happens when a great line coach works with players who are even better than Beachum, Adams, and Gilbert, but not up to par. That said, offensive line talent makes the coach and this roster does not have it. If Lewan falls picking him is a no brainer.
I gotta admit, i must have missed that portion…or have selective memory, or whatever. But i have always leaned towards disliking Deion (despite my tremendous respect for him) so i will lean towards the forner. The ones i remember are him loving Joe Haden, loving Harrison Smith, liking Rodgers Cromartie (before he had moved up the board), liking munnerlan, loving Earl Thomas (that was obvious…but he REALLY loved him)…& being very luke-cold on the CB the Jets drafted last year. (Name escaping me and i dont wanna look it up). Im not saying he's perfect…but he's better than most ive heard… I'm actually really surprised he liked Brown. You have definitely made me question my blurb with that tidbit, i must admit.
I've said it before but i'll say it again…. Gaines (cb Rice)… 4th-5th rd. Later and he will be gone…earlier and i guess u tip your cap. He was fortunate (for his own sake) to be alphabetically next to Gilbert on all drills. So of course i was watching those. And did he not look WAY closer to Gilbert than the boards have suggested? I thought Gilbert looked really good too, but im almost positive he's not an option. But Gaines…dont forget that name…if his head is on right he's gonna find a nice place on the corner somewhere.
Speed means nothing if you can't play football
Actually, even though Ike would match up against Green, in most cases he was playing 5 to 10 yds off Green. That's zone.
Yea if you think your going to beat teams with running game then y are running backs lowest paid position we will get killed in this nfl that's why they made rules you can't touch rec after 5 yards they Want high scoring games.
Truth be told rumor is that they were looking at his team mate the right tackle for later in draft
If they draft OL first rd they all need to go you only have 3 recs an old Ike your line is very young you don't go that route first rd you need. Playmakers on O are D
His legal issues might be cause for concern
One of my favorite steelers games. Alright man what's ur pick for round one? Offense or defense? Evans or gilbert?
Strange.. I thought marshawn lynch (beast mode) and the very physical Seattle defense just kicked the butt of the best offense in nfl history.. Plus many believe the 49ers were the second best. Another very physical team with frank gore. I remember Michael strahan and the giants D beating up the great offense of the 18-0 patriots. Or the great patriot defenses beating the greatest show on turf rams. Or the ravens n Ray Lewis dominating basically without a QB.
I would pick Gilbert as he is not only a good CB, but has KR skills. This draft is the deepest in ages, and the WR's are plentiful. The strategic way to play it is to look for a WR that can be had in round 3, which is where the Steelers historically pick 1.
But wouldn't you say we can pick a good developmental prospect in later round? Pierre Desir come to mind. If we want a lanky, fast cornerback then we get Gaines. To be honest I see the equivalent to be same between 1st and 3rd cornerback in sort of contribution and long-term potentials.
So that's why I don't want to hassle with a 1st round cornerback because yes, we need an immediate impact, we are that awkward 8-8 team like the couples who showed up at BBQ with a potato salad where other 5 couples brought one too. This!
If Gilbert is there, he's the pick, he has the potential to contribute in two areas CB and KR, to be honest I'd take Dennard over Evans as well. But, lets say both top CBs are gone then I think Offense is the way to go, Evans or Ebron in that order with the notion that we cant trade back
This year 15th overall is a strange place to be positioned, im just hoping someone unexpected falls to us
Im sort of thinking we can wait another year though, let Munchak have a full year with Gilbert and Adams and others..
LMAO – that's pretty funny!
Yeah. I guess I'm a little leery of developmental when it comes to our DB's in the past. Just going back to 2011 here are some names chronologically to the present we missed on:
Crezdon Butler, Curtis Brown (2011), Terrence Frederick, Terry Carter (2012), Terry Hawthorne (2013).
We let Keenan get away who was promising and there have been a host of other teams 1-and-done throwaways we said good bye to. Cortez has been
the only one to survive "Developmental". I hear what you're saying though, and any other position I would agree. With our win/loss record there seem to be more chances to get a top Offensive lineman or Linebacker prospect. We can even manage to find and/or groom gems in the sixth at different positions (Beachum/and AB). The drop-off between this kid the other guys you mentioned is significant. And if you subscribe to picking not only NEED but the best player at that spot like Colbert always preachers then you Gotta pull the trigger on that one.
Can't blame you on that one, we have showed the incapability to coach up players but I'm sure it's got more to do with the players we drafted; not on the coaching staffs. Cortez Allen, Kelvin Beachem, and Antonio Brown were the only wildcard picks that turned out to be good. Rest are either hit (system players) or miss (with many potentials but HAVE no experience or familiarity with our system).
Willie gay and Shamarko Thomas both are system players, which are the reasons Gay remain on team for so long despite his averaye/sub-par athleticism and Shamarko was traded for. I have no concern that we will be aggressive in the draft.
When its said and done, I'm pretty sure the 1st round prospect will be guy that will have an immediate impact and the next 2-3 picks will be system players with late rounds being wildcard picks. This kind of draft have worked well for us throughout years (not all in same draft but the trend are very noticeable).
Sorry your comparison with Chris Johnson is off. Chris has gone over a 1000 yrds the last 3 yrs and avg about 4 yrds a carry which has been his avg for several years. If you are looking for Chris to do what he did before his big contract, you may want to look at Chris and not the line. Just saying.
Additionally Munch was the head coach and not the line coach the last two years so he was not focused entirely on the line as he will be in the Burgh. We know what Munch does when he's focused on the line…that's the point. We will find out quickly the guys we have on the o-line are good enough with Munch.
Lewan is not a no-brainer if the top corner is available at 15. When a ship has holes and its leaking, you may want to start with the biggest hole. Just a quick tip for the biggest no-brainer.
Yeah, I meant game speed. Which means everything to our defensive scheme. I'm not talking about combine or pro day speed…that's almost meaningless. The players that could cover the field and be in position to make plays have lost a step or two. Dennard or Gilbert should help that tremendously.
No, it isn't.
I was thinking the same thing if a guy drops that we will trade up but not in rd 1 I was thinking rd 2 to grab Matthews. I think Dennard and Gilbert are both gone by 1.15 Lions Titans. I also think QBs fall this yr about like Geno last yr so there is a good possibility we trade back in round 1 to get a 3rd and 5th then trade that 5th and 3rd to move up in the 3rd to grab Desir. Even if the players I said dont get drafted I think thats the plan move back in rd1 to get a 3rd and 5th just to trade them to get a high 3rd.
I agree. Lewan is rated higher than any corner and most receivers. Furthermore Bell's 3.5 per carry average combined with only one 100 yrd rushing game suggest the line needs an upgrade. Our run game ranked 27th last year and it's been at the bottom for years. Enough is enough. Tired of Ben getting killed too. Get a good left tackle like the other AFC North teams and win more games.
True, last year we ranked 27th with a 3.5 average from Bell. So those who want a corner over Lewan may want to draft one and put him in as another extra tight end. Does anyone who wants to start Beachum and Gilbert remember that we had to add a tight end to run the BALL? Do you think you can keep taking pass catchers off of the field and add tight ends to cover up our suspect tackles? Take away the extra blocker and the running game wouldn't have been 27th but dead last! The latter is why they want Lewan.
They should wait, unless one of the top OT's falls in their lap. When was the last time a top rated LT was available when it was the Steelers turn to pick?

On pleasant days this riverside restaurant and its sprawling, tree-shaded patio come into their own. At lunchtime, casual plates like a grilled-turkey-and-Brie sandwich or a vegetarian black-bean chili are light enough to leave some energy for an afternoon of wine tasting. And at night, when there's often live jazz played on the patio during the warm months, you'll find heartier dishes such as braised lamb shank or Sonoma duck breast with a fennel-and-Parmesan stuffing. Service can be a bit lackadaisical, so order one of the house-made brews and enjoy the atmosphere while you're waiting.

Great Doctor! I delivered my baby at Sutter Roseville hospital and I had yet to choose a pediatric doctor. He was the attending physician and he was so courteous about my well being as well as my newborn which impressed me. Dr. Warden was extremely gentle in handling my baby, he took his time and explained all that he was doing while he did it. Very kind man and professional. I researched many doctors trying to find a highly recommended doctor and to no avail. I was blessed to have experienced his care at the hospital and can now call him our doctor.
Dr Warden is a really nice guy but honestly I do not really know how useful pediatricians are in this day and age. You can probably learn more about your illness by researching it online than you can by going to a pediatrician. Besides the vast majority of colds and infections will go away on their own.
Both of my sons have had Dr. Warden as their doctor from the moment they were born to now. He has taken care of them through all of the standard stuff and several sport injuries. My sons love him and we trust him. Becky is wonderful too.
Dr. Warden is amazing! My sister referred me to him, she takes all 4 of her kids there and does extensive research on doctors. He is so thorough and truly loves his job. I think he is the best pediatrician out there and when my husband said he could add my son and I to his Kaiser insurance to save money, I declined and told him I have to keep my Sutter benefits so our son can have Dr. Warden as his doctor....he's that good!
Dr. Warden is a really good doctor. His attention to the patient is wonderful. The staff is very helpful and will do their best to get you in the same day.

At this simple, diner-style restaurant, lunch means excellent renditions of local favorites, such as fried grouper and cracked conch, and sandwiches made with thick slices of slightly sweet Bahamian bread. At dinner, large portions of pork chops, lobster, fish, and shrimp are served with rib-sticking sides like baked macaroni and cheese, peas 'n' rice, and coleslaw. Save room for a piece of pound cake or coconut cream pie, baked fresh daily and displayed in the glass case up front. Breakfast is also served.

Really want to know what these games are called!
There are two games which I remember both were very fun, but I can't remember the websites.
1- A topdown 2D tank online game, strategic kinda, lots of people in an outdoor place. I kind of remember it being Tanx or something, either shockwave or flash game.
2- It's called something like vietcong or viet-something, but it was also 2D and topdown and you had to move around as a team defeating the enemy, also online and shockwave or flash.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Warmth, No Drama
I've been on a self-imposed time-out for several years but I miss the human warmth of a relationship. We can be quiet together and don't need always to be talking or "impressing" each other. You're not perfect and I'm certainly not but we can comfort each other and share little things and be warm, and that's really pretty good isn't it? I'm very supportive and never mean. The whole point of a relationship is to build each other up - not tear each other down. I think it's best to be honest - I am not bubbly or vivacious;I hate dancing and life could be better. But I am profoundly optimistic that life will be better in the future. I like glass-half-empty type people. Why? If it's half empty you start thinking of ways to get it all the way full. No? I am intelligent and my mind is always turning over and I've had to tone down my humor as it has gotten me into trouble with people who don't understand it, but if you get it, I'll let it rip. I value rationality, intelligence, optimism, matter-of-fact problem solving, kindness and good manners, Classical music and other types of quality music are very important to me. Hate nihilism, cruelty, selfishness and self-centered "charity. " I love women, the way they move, they way they smell, look, speak, feel, think. Not a big fan of dogs-love cats but sadly I'm allergic to them. I think it's important to be honest about something else too. A high sex drive is important, otherwise we would just not be compatible. Don't get me wrong. I'm monogamous and not pushy and not looking for one night stands. Definitely looking for long term. I'm in pretty good shape. Exercise often. But whatever I do I can't get rid of these dumb love handles. I wear glasses; can't wear contacts anymore. Eyes are too dry. It's like putting Kellogg's cornflakes on my eyes. These are brand new photos.
Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
Some other viewpoint
Music is very important. Classical, jazz, folk, classic rock. Very eclectic
The Captain from Connecticut by C.S. Forester. Avid reader. Love older stuff, especially classic SF - Jack Vance, Clifford Simak, Arthur Clarke, Fred Pohl are particular favorites. Non-fiction - History and science, especially psychology.

Smart grid research: Get the latest on energy consumers, microgrids, SCADA security (and more)
By Liz Enbysk
SGN Managing Editor
New research reports provide some interesting insights for smart grid stakeholders. Scroll down for summaries and click to page 2 for the full press releases.
Can 10,000 consumers be wrong?
The latest installment of Accenture's multi-year New Energy Consumer research program, Actionable Insights for the New Energy Consumer, shows real growth opportunities for those companies that provide greater choice, Web-based connection options and loyalty programs to their customers. A survey of more than 10,000 consumers in 19 countries revealed some interesting findings:
· More than 50% of consumers worldwide say they prefer to use the Internet for the majority of interactions with energy providers
· Consumers aged 18 to 34 interact with their providers 11 minutes a year, compared to an average of nine minutes for consumers aged 35+
· One-fifth of consumers in emerging economies currently use social media to discuss energy-related issues with other consumers or groups
· 53% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for electricity from renewable energy sources
The research also identifies actions energy executives can take to strengthen their businesses.
"Successful providers will be those that create targeted offering and value propositions aligned with energy consumer needs," said Greg Guthridge, managing director, Accenture Retail and Business Services for Utilities. "From commoditized energy with limited service, to premium product and service bundles, there is broad interest in various product and service offerings that will require new capabilities and innovative business models."

Customers Increasingly Favor Web-based Interactions With Their Energy Provider, Accenture Research Shows
Survey of more than 10,000 consumers worldwide provides insights on the actions energy providers can take to improve customer choice, interaction and loyalty
San Francisco; April 4, 2012 - As energy providers continue to face global economic uncertainty and the need to focus on operational imperatives such as cost-effectiveness, revenue management, and customer satisfaction, new Accenture (NYSE: ACN) research shows that there are real growth opportunities for those companies that provide greater choice, Web-based connection options and loyalty programs to their customers.
The third installment in Accenture's multi-year New Energy Consumer research program, Actionable Insights for the New Energy Consumer, explores how consumers want to interact with their energy providers, the products and services they value, and key drivers of purchasing and loyalty behavior. It also identifies a number of actions energy executives can take to strengthen their businesses.
"Successful providers will be those that create targeted offering and value propositions aligned with energy consumer needs," said Greg Guthridge, managing director, Accenture Retail and Business Services for Utilities. "From commoditized energy with limited service, to premium product and service bundles, there is broad interest in various product and service offerings that will require new capabilities and innovative business models."
For example, over half of consumers say they are interested in additional products and services from their electricity provider. Fifty-seven percent of respondents said that they would be interested in products and materials that could help them lower energy consumption by making small home improvements; the same percentage said they are interested in purchasing home energy-generation products such as solar or geothermal installations.
"This presents an opportunity for energy providers and other market entrants to create bundled propositions that address a broader spectrum of consumers' home management needs," said Guthridge.
The study also focused on consumer interaction preferences. Consumers overwhelmingly prefer "Web-enabled channels," such as Web portals, mobile applications and email, for the majority of their interactions. A majority of survey respondents said they prefer Web-enabled channels for changing their address (57 percent) and receiving their bill (71 percent).
Consumers are also showing increased interest in engaging with their electricity providers through some form of social media. Thirty percent of consumers interact or plan to interact with their electricity provider on social networks, posting comments or following their provider's "tweets." About two-thirds (68 percent) of respondents in emerging markets, such as Brazil, China, South Korea and South Africa, currently use or plan to use social media to discuss or learn about energy-related issues with other consumers or groups, compared with 29 percent of respondents from mature economies.
In terms of customer satisfaction and loyalty, most consumers in deregulated markets (55 percent) would recommend their electricity provider to family and friends, while 14 percent would not. One-quarter (25 percent) are considering switching to another electricity provider in the next 12 months.
Not surprisingly, the primary reason given for switching energy providers is saving money, as 89 percent of consumers in deregulated markets said that a reduced electricity bill would be a main factor motivating them to switch providers.
While price is important, it is not the only factor consumers consider. The study shows that 60 percent of consumers would be motivated to switch electricity providers for a rate plan that better suits their needs. Renewable energy options were also cited as an important factor in switching providers (by 33 percent), as were product and service bundles, loyalty rewards and better customer service.

Global PV Installations to Grow by up to 21 Percent in 2012 Predicts IMS Research
Wellingborough, UK - 4th April 2012: Global solar PV installations will grow by at least 3.5 percent and up to 21 percent in 2012, according to a new report fromIMS Research,recently acquired by IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS). The market analyst firm forecasts that despite incentive cuts in most of the world's largest markets, global installations will grow from 26.9 GW in 2011 to between 27.8 GW and 32.6 GW in 2012, with Europe's share of installations falling from 69 percent last year to 50 percent this year.
IMS Research's Q1'12PV Demand Database, which tracks installations in more than 60 countries, revealed that new PV installations reached 26.9 GW in 2011 and its most-likely forecast shows this growing to 27.8 GW this year. (Note that figures are for installations and not grid connections; the figure for grid connections in 2011 would be much higher.) Ash Sharma, Senior Research Director for Photovoltaics, commented, "Despite many in the industry still expecting further doom and gloom, we in fact see a pick-up in demand driven by falling system prices, a rush to beat incentive cuts, and the growing number of mid-sized emerging PV markets."
The new report's 'optimistic forecast' shows installations growing by 21 percent to 32.6 GW this year. "It is no longer a case of whether the PV market will grow in 2012, the real question now is by how much will it grow," Sharma explained. "When you only consider a handful of countries like Germany, Italy and France, it's easy be pessimistic about demand; however, when you look further afield and analyse demand from 60 countries, the picture becomes much more positive.",.
According to the Q1'12 report, at least 23 counties will install 100 MW or more this year, up from just 17 last year. "It is this geographic diversification that will help drive growth in global PV installations this year as the market becomes less dependent on just one or two markets. Ultimately it will also lead to stability for the industry in the longer term as the impact of a single country's policy will weaken," added Sharma.
Germany, however, is still predicted to remain the largest and most important PV market this year and despite the overhaul to its FiT policy, new installations are predicted to reach at least six GW this year and up to 8.5 GW is even possible. Such a result would have been almost unthinkable a few months back, but IMS Research found that demand in Q1 was extremely high in a rush to beat the incoming changes.
Although Germany will remain the largest market, IMS Research predicts that China will become the second largest, followed closely by Italy. "China remains one of the most unpredictable factors in the global supply and demand balance. With European demand faltering, the Chinese government is under increased pressure to accelerate domestic deployment to support its huge manufacturing base. Installations of up to eight GW would be unlikely in China this year, but still a possibility," concluded Sharma.

SBI Energy Finds Microgrids Could be Key to Smart Grid Development
New York, NY - April 2, 2012â€"Microgrids could be the killer-app for Smart Grid development. Industrial and energy market research publisher SBI Energy reports that the boom in cheap and plentiful natural gas could lead to increased use of micro-turbines and the development of more microgrids. The U.S. military leads the world in deploying and testing new microgrid technologies. It is the primary driver fueling Smart Grid market growth, which is forecast at 5.8% CAGR through 2031.
A just released research report from SBI Energy, World Smart Grid, 2nd Edition, finds that microgrid growth areas are in universities and hospitals, industrial locations with combined heat and power (CHP) generating units, U.S. military bases, and small communities in Europe. If funding from the World Bank and other sources is forthcoming, there will also be growth potential for microgrid development in remote areas of Africa, Asia, and South America.
"Simply put, today's power grid is having difficulty meeting the high quality, stable, and reliable power requirements of an increasingly sophisticated, technology-oriented world," states Shelley Carr, SBI Energy publisher. "'Smart' or 'intelligent' technologies now exist that can significantly improve grid performance. With these technologies a 'smarter' grid will be able provide improved service reliability and more stable electric rates at a lower cost than simply building more infrastructure to meet increased demand."
Smart grid development is moving into a "normal" period of growth following substantial activity as the results of government stimulus funding. As this funding runs its course, utilities and other stakeholders are having a harder time with new development efforts as a result of economic conditions, regulatory uncertainty, consumer acceptance, and other factors that constrain their ability to fund many Smart Grid projects. These and other considerations are addressed in the report as they pertain to inhibiting or advancing development of the Smart Grid.
World Smart Grid, 2nd Edition, presents an in-depth analysis of the development, applications, products, manufacturers, and trends in the worldwide development of the Smart Grid. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the current market for Smart Grid enabling technologies and projects future market size through 2031. Market concerns including energy demand, environmental impact, economic conditions, consumer acceptance, stakeholder concerns, and government activities are discussed in terms of their impact on market growth for the Smart Grid and its enabling technologies. The report also profiles selected companies that manufacture and market technologies that enable the Smart Grid and the strategies they have adopted to maximize growth and profitability.

UTC Survey Shows that 60% of Utilities Currently Use Satellite Communications
In-depth analysis of satellite usage in the utility industry offers perspective on the benefits of satellite and misconceptions about latency and cost
HERNDON, Va., April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect), a company of VT Systems, Inc. (VT Systems), and the Utilities Telecom Council (UTC) today released the results of a new study on satellite communications in the utility industry. The study, Strategic Assessment of Satellite Usage in the Utility Industry, was conducted to gain a better understanding of how satellite communications is currently used in the utility industry and to better articulate the benefits of modern VSAT systems. iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology.
Among the key findings were that 60% of utilities surveyed are already using some form of satellite communications technology. Of those not currently using satellite, 22% are planning to integrate the technology in the next two years. The study also revealed some misconceptions about satellite communications based on outdated technology, as well as a growing desire among utilities to learn more about advances in satellite technology.
The study, which was sponsored by iDirect, measured perceptions and usage trends relating to satellite communications through a focus group of top industry telecommunications technologists and through a survey of UTC's utility members, which comprised 100 completed responses from top communications decision-making technologists at 71 utilities.
Key Findings
· The top benefit of satellite technology was cited as ubiquitous coverage. This was also the top benefit for commercial wireless services, but for security and management reasons, many utilities prefer the private networking capabilities of satellite over using a public wireless network.
· Satellite is most frequently used for back-up voice communications with SCADA and substation automation a close second.
· Misconceptions around high latency and high cost are two barriers to implementation for satellite communications, but these perceptions are likely based on experiences with legacy satellite technology. The study showed that the vast majority (78%) of utilities are interested in learning more about modern VSAT systems.
"Utilities are coping with ever-increasing demands on their communications infrastructures, particularly as they work to modernize and implement the new smart grid. UTC is proud to work with iDirect on this important study, which offers a wealth of useful information for utility operators on the benefits of satellite as a communications solution and the essential role that satellite will play in the future of the utility industry."
~Connie DURCSAK
President and CEO, UTC
"With the majority of utilities already invested in some form of satellite technology, and a significant percentage planning to add satellite in the next two years, this study reveals a huge opportunity for VSAT solutions to help shape the future of the utility industry. The findings also reveal that satellite providers need to take the lead in educating utilities about the benefits of modern satellite technology and how they support back-up communications, SCADA, substation automation and other critical applications."

Network Computing Editor Wins RSA Hacking Contest 65 65
from the hack-on-hack-off dept.
So James T Kirk is the ultimate hacker? He not only cracked the server, he modified the challenge so he would win!A real hacker would've cracked open the server the day before and gotten the answers before entering the competition.
Pfft, he'd been much faster if he'd used Vista's speech recognition [youtube.com].
The most important factor in the contest besides basic web exploitation skills (cross site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, cross site request forgeries (CSRF), etc.) was speed
... I squeaked out a win in the tie-breaking challenge the first day with only a few seconds to spare as my opponent was right behind in the hunt to combine three injectable fields into one long javascript function.
That's nothing.
This one time, I was hacking this really locked-up-the-wazoo Gibson. I'd set up a couple of IDS/IPS evasio
Ha Ha...I'm not falling for that one. One minute your innocently reading a post on Slashdot about some 1337 web hacker asking you to check out his website, the next minute he's robbing your grandma's bank account..."He has up a blow-by-blow description of the events at their site..."
The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere, bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.

This thing is not good for human consumtion. About a week of using this make my kidneys very hurtful. I stopped it and the pain went away. The rest, I flushed down the toilet. I do not want to leave it around and make the mistake of taking it again.
Works well with the adrenal health. Covers a lot of territory in one pill.

After nearly two weeks of hitting each other in prac-tices, the four area high school football teams finally get a taste of outside competition starting today.
In 11-man ball, Sweet-water goes to San Angelo's Bobcat Stadium this evening for its opening scrimmage against San Angelo Lake View, while Roscoe is at home to take on Haskell. Sweetwater's scrimmage is set to begin with the JV and freshman teams at 5 p.m., with the varsity taking the field at approximately 6:15, according to Mustang coach Shane Mobley, while Roscoe will begin its skir-mish at 6 p.m.
Blackwell paid a visit to Westbrook at 8:30 this morning for its first scrim-mage, and Highland — ori-ginally scheduled to take on Blackwell — will instead host Rotan on Saturday with a start time of 10 a.m.
While Blackwell has been a playoff team the past two years, Sweetwater, Roscoe and Highland all enter 2014 with a similar goal — trying to end postseason droughts. All three came extremely close in 2013, missing a chance to go the playoffs after losing their final regular season games.
Sweetwater has not made the playoffs since 2008; Highland last went to the playoffs in 2009; and Roscoe — which like Highland and Sweetwater regularly made the playoffs from the 1990s through 2008 — hasn't gone back since 2010, following a streak of 13 straight post-season appearances.
Mobley said Sweetwater will run four separate series tonight with its No. 1 and No. 2 units while trying to answer questions in some key areas. Offensively, the head coach said he will be focused on line play and having an effective running game to help open the pas-sing lanes for the Mustangs' fleet of receivers. Mobley noted that a UIL has approved a rule that basically requires high school teams to have a 40-second clock between plays, so "it's going to be a faster pace" this year," he said.
Mobley said Sweetwater will stick tonight on defense with a basic 4-3 set. "We'll evaluate to see that we are lining up right. The second thing is tackling, and then we've got to be better at making reads and reading our keys. Those are the top three things," he said.
Sweetwater plays its sec-ond and final scrimmage at home next Thursday when its hosts Clyde at the Bowl.

A fond farewell to Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a nice man who never quite broke through in a crowded presidential field. He once seemed like the candidate who could consolidate the social-conservative base, but his distant third-place finish in the Ames Straw Poll in August virtually ensured that he wouldn't be it.
Brownback's numbers were always too low for this to be a major boon to anyone, but his exit highlights a void in the field, at a really interesting time in the race, with the "Values Voters Summit" starting tomorrow in Washington. Paging Fred Thompson . . .
Meanwhile, five sentences we never though we'd write:
1. Stephen Colbert is a presidential candidate.
2. Mitt Romney can't afford a vanilla steamer.
3. Lynne Cheney is lending a hand to her husband's cousin.
4. "Mission Accomplished" is being used to rap a Democrat, http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/10/obama-jokes-wit.html not a Republican -- and President Bush actually declared that he's still "relevant."
5. Fred Thompson has a campaign message.
Today is the day that President Bush today finds out just how relevant he really is, as the latest slow-motion car crash pitting him against congressional Democrats crunches to a close with the long-awaited veto override attempt on children's health insurance.
Bush could afford to be combative yesterday, confident as he is (and he should be) that the GOP ranks will close behind him to sustain his veto. "I've never felt more engaged," the president said at his news conference. But when he has to declare that the veto is "one way to ensure that I am relevant," he's speaking to the beleaguered state of his presidency, not to mention the Republican Party.
The Republican presidential candidates, united as they are on fiscal discipline, are giving the president cover on a veto where the public is with the Democrats. That's remarkable: President Bush has a 33 percent approval rating in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, yet none of the major GOP candidates is breaking from Bush in a significant, policy-oriented way.
But all around the president, his party is showing signs of breaking down. Former House speaker Dennis Hastert's early departure provides a punctuation point on a bad GOP sentence: lagging fund-raising, deep philosophical divisions, poor, inconsistent messaging.
And it's social issues that are splitting the Republican Party most seriously these days, as the presidential candidates prepare to address the "Values Voters Summit" tomorrow and Friday.
Enter Thompson, R-Tenn., into the fray that made his candidacy possible in the first place. These are baby steps, but it's a start: Thompson is running new Internet ads that "specifically question the anti-abortion records of fellow Republican candidates Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani, piecing together quotes and pictures from the respective candidates," ABC's Christine Byun writes. "The ads also declare Thompson's latest pitch: 'I was a proud conservative yesterday, I remain one today, and I will be one tomorrow.' "

I personally haven't used the Renthals grips, my dad likes them, got to have the ones with little to none of the "thumb flange" or whatever it is called... I got these new, fat, super soft "pro-grips," that I cannot get to stop twisting on the left grip, the glue on throttle grip stuck nicely, but the left grip, even with triple safety-wiring, it still rotates on the bars... I'm more than half pissed we cannot get Hebo grips anymore? Least my supplier tells me so.
My guess would be that they are Renthal ATV grips which are the same size for both sides (both non-throttle size) because ATV's use a thumb throttle

These agroforestry systems, developed and nurtured by farmers through generations of innovation and experiment, are often cited as the epitome of sustainability, yet have been long neglected by the scientific community. Today, however, these age-old systems are receiving increasing attention owing to their perceived potential to mitigate environmental problems such as loss of biodiversity and rising levels of atmospheric CO2, while providing significant economic gains, as well as food and nutritional security to their owners. This multi-authored volume contains peer-reviewed chapters from the world's leading researchers and professionals in this topic. It summarizes the current state of knowledge on homegarden systems, with a view to using this knowledge as a basis for improving both homegardens and other similar multistrata agroforestry systems. less
