Leveson Inquiry: Could this be the end for The Sun?
It's hard to imagine Britain without its red top press but week by week such a prospect becomes increasingly realistic.
The past few days have been the worst that anyone can remember at The Sun, where there are genuine fears that the paper could follow its sister publication's path to oblivion, taking its place among thousands of other defunct titles in the archive of the British Library.
James Murdoch, the News International chairman, declined to guarantee The Sun's future when he was asked whether he would close the paper if it was found to have engaged in phone-hacking. "I don't think we can rule out any corporate reaction to behaviour or wrongdoing," he told MPs.
The comments came three days after the News International chief executive Tom Mockridge told staff at The Sun that the company (which has sent 300m emails to Scotland Yard) was obliged to give the police evidence on the behaviour of its reporters because the alternative would be officers arriving in the newsroom with search warrants. The Sun's editor Dominic Mohan had called the paper's staff together to address their fears in the wake of the arrest this month of long-standing reporter Jamie Pyatt, who is accused of making illicit payments to police. Mohan told his colleagues that Rupert Murdoch was committed to their future. James's comments on Thursday will have compounded their concerns that the paper is actually being prepared for sale or closure.
The mood at the paper is described as "almost funereal", with worries about further arrests. "Good reporters are hearing the sound of the cat flap at 6am and thinking it's the police at their door," said one source.
It might seem madness to throw away the most powerful brand in British newspapers but no-one thought the 2.7 million selling News of the World was in peril – even after the Millie Dowler revelations. When it was breaking agenda-setting stories almost every weekend, the tabloid's place at the centre of the Sunday news-stand seemed to exist in perpetuity.
But we didn't know then what we know now. The work of the red top reporter has never been so distrusted, nor so lowly valued. Today Lord Justice Leveson begins an inquiry which will subject the practices of the tabloid press to an unprecedented level of scrutiny. A reputation that is already frayed and torn as a result of the phone-hacking scandal may disintegrate entirely in the light of weeks of further damaging revelations.
The tabloid press has few obvious supporters on the six-strong Leveson panel, none of whom has experience of working in the sector. In its preliminary seminars, the inquiry invited not a hardened red top chief reporter but Richard Peppiatt, who had quit the Daily Star in disgust. He told them that of 900 stories he had written "I can probably count on fingers and toes the times I felt I was genuinely telling the truth".
Last week former tabloid editors were burying personal enmities to discuss the gravity of the situation and what they might do, if anything, to resist the onslaught. But the chances of unity in a traditionally cut-throat market are diminished by the fact that News International's ills are providing oxygen to its rivals. On the morning of Murdoch's Westminster appearance, Trinity Mirror announced that the Sunday Mirror was up 61% since the demise of the News of the World and The People has grown 58% in the same period. The Daily Mirror, with sales close to falling beneath 1m, would benefit from The Sun's absence, though many tabloid readers would be lost forever.
Richard Desmond is a potential purchaser of The Sun, having previously expressed an interest. His Daily Star (down more than 16% on sales this year) will this month begin printing in full colour at new presses in Luton – an investment in tabloid print media for a further generation. It might be the last such act.Tagged in: hacking, journalism, Leveson Inquiry, Murdoch, news, the sun

The field of the invention relates to facsimile machines and in particular to a means of certifying a facsimile transmission.
Facsimile (fax) machines and the fax transmissions originating from such machines are known. Such machines are typically used to transfer printed and graphical information over great distances via a public switch telephone network (PSTN).
Within a fax machine the printed or graphical information is typically converted into an electrical signal using an optical scanner. A sheet of paper containing the printed or graphical information is fed into a set of transport devices (e.g. rollers) within the fax machines which transports the sheet of paper past the optical scanner. The scanner rapidly scans the width of the sheet transverse to a direction of movement as the sheet is transported past the scanner. A modem within the fax machines converts the electrical signal from the optical scanner into a variable frequency, electrical signal typically in the audio range, for transmission through the PSTN.
At a fax receiver the variable frequency signal is converted into a variable direct current (DC) voltage which is then used to electostatically dispose a darkening agent (toner) on a received fax sheet in such a manner as to recreate the image detected by the scanner at the transmitting fax machines. The toner is then fixed to the sheet by the application of heat, or otherwise, to complete the process.
To initiate a fax transmission an operator enters a destination telephone number of the fax transmission and loads the material to be faxed into a paper tray on the transmitting fax machine. The transmitting fax then scans the faxed material into a memory in anticipation of transmission. Once the material to be faxed is loaded into memory, the transmitting fax machine seizes an interconnected telephone line and transmits the destination telephone number to a controller within the PSTN. The PSTN controller through a number of local and remote telephone switches, interconnects the calling fax to a target fax. A local PSTN controller notifies the target fax of the incoming call by causing a telephone associated with the target fax machine to ring. The target fax detects the electrical pulses of the ringing, seizes the telephone line and establishes a connection with the transmitting fax machine. The faxed information is then transferred from the transmitting to target fax machine. Upon completion of a transmission, a fax report is printed by the transmitting fax machine listing, inter alia, a target telephone number and number of pages transmitted.
While existing fax machines work well, the prior art has taught that a fax machine can not be relied upon where proof of delivery is required such as for notification of consumer product safety hazards or certain types of court documents. Where proof of delivery is required the prior art has taught that the only alternative is certified U.S. Mail or hand delivery. Because of the importance of certifying delivery of such documents a need exists for a method of certifying fax transmissions.
Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a method for using existing telephone apparatus and equipment, but in an arrangement to enable the exchange of electronic certified or registered telephonic transmissions instead of the use of mailing systems for such purposes.
A further and more particular object of this present invention is to provide the steps of a telephone "certified" or "registered" transmission system which enables the telephone number of the originator and recipient of the exchange to be recorded along with the time and date of the call and the contents of the telephonic transmission itself.
A further and more specific object of the present invention is to enable the sending of a hard copy record of the exchange to the initiator of the call.
These and other objects of the present invention are provided in a method and apparatus of the present invention of certifying an information content of a telephonic exchange between a calling party and the called party. The method includes the steps of establishing a unidirectional signal path between the calling party and a transcriber and between the called party and the transcriber and transcribing the communicated information of calling and called party's along with indicia of source and time of transmission.

The solution to the problem of certifying fax deliveries lies conceptually in interconnecting a fax printer for certification of fax transmissions (certification fax receiver) with a local telephone switch of the PSTN and printing a copy of each page of the fax transmission along with an indicia of delivery. The indicia of delivery may include a telephone number of a destination fax machine, an indication that the faxed sheet was properly delivered, and a time of document delivery.
An originating fax machine may request fax delivery certification by a particular sequence of dialed digits. For example, a controller of a local switch of the PSTN could be programmed to recognize that where a character on a touch tone phone such as a "#" were pressed twice followed by a telephone number of a destination fax machine, that such sequence is to be interpreted as a request for fax delivery certification.
The controller of the local switch upon receiving the request for fax delivery certification would strip off the first two characters (##) and thereafter handle call routing between the originating and destination fax machine as under the prior art. One difference, however, is that the certification fax receiver would be added to the call connection under a technique similar to three-party calling.
The indicia of delivery of a fax transmission is information readily available to the controller of the local switch. The telephone number of the destination fax machine is received by the local switch controller during call set-up and is retained in memory of the local switch controller. Time and date are also available within the local switch controller as part of call billing facilities. The acknowledgement of receipt of a page of a fax transmission, on the other hand, is something that the local switch controller obtains by monitoring the fax transmission.
During a fax transmission, the originating fax transmits information one line at a time until an end of page is encountered at which time the receiving fax machine acknowledges receipt of the page, or the originating fax re-transmits the page. Under an embodiment of the invention, the local switch controller monitors the fax transmission for page receipt acknowledgements. Upon receipt of a page acknowledgement the certification fax receiver prints the indicia of delivery on a locally printed reproduction of the fax page thereby certifying delivery of the fax page.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a PSTN system showing the fax certification feature in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. As shown, an originating fax 10 is provided with a telephone interconnect 20 between the originating fax 10 and a local switch 12 of the PSTN. A destination fax 16 may be interconnected directly to the same local switch 12 as the originating fax 10 or be interconnected through a second local switch 14 as shown in FIG. 1.
It is to be understood that local switches 12, 14 of a PSTN each have a number of telephone interconnects 20, 24 depending on the size of the local switch 12, 14 and the number of local subscribers 10, 16 in the geographic area of each local switch 12, 14. It is also to be understood that local switches 12, 14 of a PSTN are interconnected through a number of trunk groups were the trunk groups provide a means of exchanging communicated information between a first local switch and other local switches in other geographic areas. FIG. 1, in specific, shows a first local switch 12 in a first geographic area interconnected with a second local switch 14 in a second geographic area through a particular trunk group 22.
Each trunk group 22 is made up of a number of communication channels that, within an integrated services digital network (ISDN), may range from a basic rate interface (BRI) (with very few channels and fairly low capacity) to the larger T1 lines with capacities in excess of one Megabits per second. If local switches 12, 14 were of a fairly low capacity, then the interconnecting trunk group 22 may be made up of one or more BRIs where each BRI consists of 2-B channels (typically used for the exchange of subscriber traffic information at a rate of 64 kilo bits per second per channel) and 1-D channel (used for the exchange of control information between switches at a rate of 15 kilo bits).
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the local switch 12 and fax certification printer 18 of FIG. 1. As shown, the local switch 12 has a matrix switch 26 and local switch controller 28. During normal operation of the PSTN the local switch controller 28 periodically monitors local telephone interconnect 20 for call requests. Upon receipt of a call request, the controller 28 by reference to a called number received from the originating fax machine 10 on a telephone interconnect 20 determines by reference to a memory 30 that the target of the call request (destination fax 16) may be accessed through a particular trunk group 22 and local switch 14. To establish a connection between the originating fax machine 10 and destination fax machine 16 the local switch 12 of the originating fax machine 10 (requesting switch 12) seizes a D channel of the trunk group 22 and transmits an access request to the local switch 14 of the destination fax machine 16 (destination switch 14). If the destination fax 16 is not occupied by a prior call (telephone interconnect 24 busy) and a subscriber traffic channel (B channel) between the requesting switch 12 and destination switch 14 is available, then the destination switch 14 responds by transmitting an access grant back to the requesting switch 12 identifying an allocated traffic channel to be used during the fax transmission. The destination switch 14 also signals the destination fax 16 of the incoming call. When the destination fax 16 answers the call, switch 14 connects telephone interconnect 24 with the identified traffic channel of the trunk group 22.
The controller 28 of the requesting switch 12, in response to the access grant and to the destination fax answering the call, directs the matrix switch 26 to provide an connection between the allocated traffic channel of the trunk group 22 and the telephone interconnect 20 of the originating fax 10.
Immediately after answering the call, the destination fax 16 begins transmitting a connect tone. When the end-to-end connection of the duplex channel between the originating fax 10 and destination fax 16 is completed, the originating fax 10 answers the connect tone and a negotiation of fax transmission protocol and transmission baud rate follows. Following completion of set-up of originating fax 10 and destination fax 16, the transmission of the fax message may begin.
Where the call request received from the originating fax 10 contains a request for fax certification, the controller 28 of the requesting switch 12 also instructs the matrix switch 26 to provide a three-party connection among the telephone interconnect 20 of the originating fax 10, the allocated traffic channel of the trunk group 22 and the interconnect 30 of the certification fax 18. During fax set-up the certification fax 18 by monitoring the exchange between the originating fax 10 and destination fax 16 is set up substantially the same as the destination fax 16.
Interconnect 30, under the invention, is in the nature of a simplex connection allowing one-way transmission of fax data to the certification fax. The certification fax is not allowed to request a re-transmission of lost data from the originating fax 10.
Since the certification fax does not participate in the negotiation of fax protocol or speed and since the certification fax must accommodate the capabilities of originating and destination fax machines, the certification fax may be of a somewhat greater level of sophistication than the originating or destination fax machines. In all other regards, the certification fax may be selected from any of a range of commercially available fax machines.
Under an embodiment of the invention, provisions are made to avoid printing the indicia of delivery on top of the contents of each page of the fax transmission. Under such an embodiment an oversize paper tray (e.g., for 17 inch by 23 inch paper) is used to supply the certification fax. The oversize supply sheet is queued in a normal manner with the information of each page of the fax transmission printed at the top of the oversized sheet within the certification fax machine. At the output end of the certification fax machine an appropriate printer (e.g. a laser printer) is provided for printing the indicia of delivery on the bottom of each oversized sheet. Together, the certification fax machine and certification printer comprise a certification fax printer 18 providing a degree of reliability of delivery of fax transmissions not available from other sources.
The certification printer is programmed in a known manner to print the indicia of delivery in a non-interfering location of the printed document certifying fax delivery. The indicia of delivery are transferred to the certification printer from the local switch controller 28 via an appropriate data interface (e.g., RS232 or a LAN). The controller 28 may provide the indicia of delivery such as the telephone number of the destination fax 16 based upon the destination telephone number included in the original access request, or may query the destination switch 14 over an appropriate D channel of the trunk group 22 after each page of the fax transmission to determine where that page of the fax transmission was sent for purposes of providing additional certainty in the verification process.
Following completion of the documents certifying the delivery of a fax transmission, copies of the document may be sent via regular mail to the originating fax operator, with the original documents held in secure storage. Holding the original documents in an area of secure storage allows for a greater reliability against alteration. Such a method also allows for a fax certification system operator to later offer testimony in a court of law, or otherwise, as to the methods used in certification and to the reliability of such services.
In another embodiment of the invention, the certification fax machine and certification printer are combined into one device. Under such an embodiment a page of fax material is compressed in size to occupy 3/4 of a standard size fax page with indicia of delivery occupying the remaining 1/4 of the fax. Data delivery to the certification fax under the embodiment is accomplished through use of a data buffer in series with the interconnect 30 and with a data switch interposed between the buffer and certification fax under the control of the controller 28. During transmission of a page of fax information the controller 28 instructs the data switch to pass fax information from the buffer to the certification fax. When the controller 28 detects an end-of-page message from the originating fax 10 and a page acknowledge message from the destination fax 16, the controller 28 instructs the data switch to interrupt the transfer of data from the buffer to the certification fax and, instead, pass indicia of delivery from an output of the controller 26 while the buffer accumulates any new data from succeeding fax pages. Once the data switch transfers the indicia of delivery from the controller 28 to the certification fax followed by a locally generated end-of-page, which indicia is printed on the bottom quarter of the fax page, the controller 28 again instructs the data switch to pass data from the buffer.
In another embodiment of the invention, the fax transmission is not printed immediately with indicia of delivery associated with each page but, rather, the entire fax transmission is stored as a common file with indicia associated with the entire file stored in conjunction with the file as a composite file. As with above embodiments, the composite file is stored in a secure facility with a single summary page printed after creation of the composite file and sent to the operator of the originating fax machine for record keeping purposes. Should a need arise for proof of delivery, the entire composite file is printed upon demand.
In another embodiment, the invention is extended to electronic mail (E-mail) systems operating upon PSTN. Under the embodiment the controller 28 of the switch 12 detects the request for such transmission through identifying digits using in conjunction with a target address. An E-mail printer associated with the switch 12 monitors the transmission through a three-party connection. As above, indicia of delivery are printed on a copy of the E-mail message (preferably in a different color).
Under another embodiment of the invention, a composite file is generated and stored within the originating fax machine as a read-only file using well-known programming techniques. The read-only file is generated using a randomly generated access code known only to the originating fax machine and which machine allows for printing of the composite file with indicia on each page or in summary form or, alternatively, allows for deletion of the entire file under operator control.
In another embodiment of the invention, certification of delivery is extended to information exchanged between two parties communicating between an originating telephone and a destination telephone (calling and called party) under a multitude of formats (e.g., spoken words, dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF), amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), etc.). Since a telephone voice channel is typically constructed to exchange signals in the audio range (i.e., 0-20 kHz) an audio recorder may be used to record exchanged information along with indicia of delivery. The recorded information may later be converted and transcribed to a visually readable form along with the indicia of delivery.
Alternatively, the exchange information may be decoded on-line using decoding devices that are well known in the art. Where the information is exchanged verbally, a voice recognition unit may be used to drive a printer to provide a certified hard copy along with time and date of the information exchange. Where the information is exchanged under a frequency modulated format, a modem may be used. In general, a controller of a certified hard copy delivery system recognizes the format of the information exchange and allocates the resources to convert the exchanged information into a form (e.g., RS232) recognizable by a printer.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the certified information exchange system 50 in accordance with the invention. As with previously described systems (i.e., FIG. 1) an originating telephone 52 requests information exchange certification by use of a particular sequence of dialed digits. A controller 64 (FIG. 4) by reference to memory 68 recognizes the sequence as a request for certification, strips off the certification request digits, and forwards the re-formatted call request to a local switch 56 of the destination phone 58 for call set-up. The controller 64 also instructs the matrix switch 62 to establish a connection 30a, 30b between the certified hard copy delivery system 60 and the duplex voice channel 20,22.
To eliminate confusion as to the source of certified information, the duplex voice connection on voice paths 20 and 22 is divided into a first unidirectional (simplex) voice path 30a (i.e., from originating phone (calling party)) 52 to destination phone (called party) 58 and a second unidirectional (simplex) voice path 30b (i.e., from destination phone 58 to originating phone 52). Dividing the duplex voice connection 20,22 as to source allows the source of the information presented on the certified hard copy printout to be precisely identified.
Where an optional recorder 66 is used, the information on the first and second unidirectional voice paths are stored on a first and second recording channels with indicia of delivery (e.g., time, originating and destination telephone numbers) stored on a third recording channel. The indicia of delivery can be stored on the third recording channel under a voice format with the voice signal Originating from a voice synthesizer (not shown), within the controller 64. Alternatively, the certification hard copy printing system 60 certifying an information content of a telephonic exchange could be a secretary listening to the channels and reducing the recorded information to a certified hard copy.
Where the optional recorder 66 is not used (or is simply used as a device for delaying, some inputs to the certification hard copy delivery during periods of heavy use), the delivery of the certified hard copy may be provided through automated processes. Under the embodiment, decoding units such as a voice recognition unit (VRU) 74 and modem 72 continuously sample the first and second voice paths 30a, 30b of the duplex voice path 20,22 for communicated information. The controller 64, in turn, analyzes output buffers (not shown) of the VRU 74 and modem 72 for intelligible information (i.e., information that the VRU 74 or modem 72 are able to decode). Where the controller 64 detects intelligible information, the controller transfers such information either directly to the printer along with indicia of source (i.e., source phone or destination phone) or to memory 76 for printout at a later time.
Under the invention, a certified printout of a communicated exchange begins with a page header listing originating and destination telephone numbers and date and time of day. Transmissions (whether covering a portion of a page or many pages) are always prefaced with a source identifier (i.e., originating or destination telephone) and the time the transmission began. Pages are numbered with a non-repeatable sequence number.
Specific embodiments of a novel system for certification of an information control of a telephonic exchange have been described for the purposes of illustrating the manner in which the invention may be used and made. It should be understood that the implementation of other variations and modifications of the invention in its various aspects will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described. It is therefore contemplated to cover by the present invention any and all modifications, variations, or equivalents that fall within the true spirit and scope of the basic underlying principles disclosed and claimed herein.

January is the cruelest month, at least for the Saddle Club. The weather is miserable: cold, rainy, and muddy. No one can go riding outside, and everyone is sick and tired of being inside. The only things left to do are clean tack and ride in the indoor ring. The Saddle Club is bored–bored of riding and even of horses. So what can they do? Lisa decides to try her hand at needlepoint–can't get much further away from riding than that. Carole decides that this would be the perfect opportunity to write a great novel. And Stevie decides that a little time in the kitchen whipping up treats sounds like a great idea. Will these activities help them rediscover their love of horses? Or is the Saddle Club about to untack for good?
Dear Readers, Welcome to the Saddle Club! There are only two rules in this club: You've got to be horse crazy, and you've got to be willing to help your friends. Sound good? All you have to do to join… More about Bonnie Bryant

Observation Preparation
This section mainly describes how to prepare and check NIRI observations. Setting up observing sequences at Phase II is not intuitive until one is quite experienced (and maybe even not then). Thus, the key to successful observation preparation is starting from the NIRI OT Library.
Guiding Options
NIRI standalone (i.e., without AO) requires the use of a peripheral wavefront sensor for both imaging and spectroscopy. PWFS2 is preferred over PWFS1, as it can be used on fainter guide stars, can run at a higher frequency for a given guide star, works better under windy and cloudy conditions, and is smaller and thus vignettes less of the field of view.
Low-moderate resolution spectroscopy can be obtained either at f/6 through each of the 1-5μm windows or at f/32 (the latter usually with adaptive optics) at JHK only. A variety of slit widths are available. The properties of the slits, grisms, and blocking filters are decribed in the section. The f/6 and f/32 pixel scales in spectroscopy mode are the same as those in imaging mode.

As Ellie broke the sea
Its crystal blue waters frothed like a Paperman's cappuccino,
I sipped liquid gold of another kind
Shipwrecked, feet in the sand soft
As powdered sugar, sweet and cool,
Melting into oblivion.
The Sweet Smell of the Season
I don't know when people started to use touch to test ripeness. Smell your fruit, people.
It should be pungent, like this mango. You'd have to be a Dustbuster to smell a mango from Guatemala at your neighborhood Whole Foods Market.
If you can smell your fruit, you won't end up with a mealy, dry peach or a metallic-tasting mango.
If this isn't a reminder I don't know what is.
Let the Holiday Begin!
23E may be the very center of the Boeing 777. That's where I'm sitting, and it might as well be first class. I wouldn't know the difference right now with how excited I'm am, about to depart Miami on my first leg to Rome, via London, for a two week holiday touring mostly the northern regions of my favorite country in the world. I'll be logging what I can via iPad here, as I make my way through Rome, Florence, Valle d'Aosta, Milan, Stresa and the lakes region of Lombardy, Bergamo, Orvieto and more. Buon viaggio!

Motorola Solutions will acquire London-based Psion Plc., a maker of ruggedised mobile computing products, for a cash deal valued at about $US200 million.
Psion, which has been in business for 32 years, has an active reseller channel and focuses on mobile computing units intended for industrial settings.
According to Motorola Solutions, it has about 830 employees with customers in 50 countries and posted 2011 revenue of about $US273 million. Under the agreement, Psion shareholders will receive around $US1.36 per share.
"Psion is a compelling opportunity to strengthen our industry-leading mobile computing portfolio with ruggedised handheld products and vehicle-mount terminals that will deepen our presence in the global markets in which we compete," Greg Brown, Motorola Solutions' CEO, said in a statement.
The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012. Psion will become part of Motorola's Enterprise Mobile Computing unit, headed by Girish Rishi.
Motorola Solutions has been rolling out new programs to grow channel revenue and streamline its go-to-market approach following the split-up of the former Motorola in early 2011.
Motorola Mobility, the other company that resulted from that split, was sold to Google.

I can tell you the head buffeting I was experiencing from the stock screen was, at times, disorienting and not what I wanted tooling along at 80 in traffic. With the Aeroflow, the head buffeting is nearly gone and I noticed the wind noise is greatly reduced as well. I notice there is a definite vacuum behind the screen that kinda pulls your head forward; gonna have to get used to that. I also notice more wind on my shoulders/chest but it feels balanced. At lower speeds, the sight line is a bit of a bother.
The unit mounted easily using the upper 4 windscreen screws and I was pleasantly suprised at how solid it was. The distortion is minimal but there seems to be a bit of milkiness to the transparency; not bad but there. I think it will be good for long hauls and I may get the side deflectors as well. I plan to cut down the stock screen for dirt work,etc. and will update if that combination works with the Aeroflow.
I cut down the stock screen 2"(50mm)..oh yeah!! Big difference on helmet-rattling bufetting. The helmet wind noise is back, but it and the wind pressure are more evenly distributed around the helmet. Definitely a better experience for short jaunts around town. Next is to put the Aeroflow back on to see what, if any, changes to that combination.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Clayton thinks Bulger will be Cardinals QB
The starting quarterback for the 2011 Arizona Cardinals will be who?
ESPN NFL Insider John Clayton thinks the Cardinals could very well be going the free agent route in securing their signal caller for next season.
"I still think it will probably end up being Mark Bulger," Clayton told Sports 620 KTAR's Doug & Wolf as they came out of the gates starting the conversation with that exact question. "Although I still wonder if he is going to move all this way west. I know him real well. He would prefer to stay east coast. I know he would like to get a chance to get back and start [but] I don't know if he's going to come all the way to Phoenix.
"If that would be the case then I guess the [Kevin] Kolb possibilities are there but the cost is going to be a first-round pick and a lot of money."
With that being said, Clayton doesn't hide that he feels there will be a veteran under center for the Cardinals in the coming season.
Denver's Kyle Orton is a more likely possibility when talking about a trade though.
"The best possible trade, I think as far as value, would be Kyle Orton," Clayton said. "I think he could be had for a second, maybe a third-round pick, maybe even a bit little less depending on how the shuffle of quarterbacks goes at the draft.
"If I was making the suggestions I would say Orton then Bulger. I still think the price on Kolb for a first-rounder is a little bit steep."
Clayton also mentions Donovan McNabb but not much interest there.
Earlier this week Clayton mentioned Matt Hasselbeck being out of Seattle and the Cardinals as a potential landing spot.
"Can he get above his current salary of about $8 million in the open market," Clayton asks when talking about the Seahawks allowing him to test the market. "That's a big debate, he's 35-years-old.
"Now it looks like you're not going to see him go to San Francisco, they are going to go in a different direction. ... I think Tennessee is a very, very viable option. I would say Minnesota is a viable option. ... I think Arizona would probably be somewhere in that third or fourth option. The Cardinals would explore other options than Matt because of the price. He makes $8 million on his last contract and he, probably like most players, is going to want a little bit more and I don't know if they would rather go to eight, nine, maybe 10 millions dollars."
It seems the only question in his mind is, first, which one do they want, and second, how much are they willing to spend -- and give up -- for the one that they want.
With two weeks to go before the NFL Draft many mock drafts still have the Cardinals taking a quarterback with the No. 5 overall pick.
Once the draft comes and goes -- specifically the first round -- the question of who will be taking snaps for the Cardinals in 2011 will be clearer but not much clearer.
If Clayton is right and the Cardinals end up with a veteran as their quarterback it will have to wait until they can actually talk to players -- or other teams -- about making a move.

West Virginia Senior
PROS: Is a capable tackler that does a nice job at the point of attack. Is a smart, tough defender that doesn't make mistakes. Gets decent depth on his zone drops and works well on short zones when he can keep things in front of him. Able to read quarterback and break up the pass over the middle. Is effective in man coverage when matching up against slower backs and receivers.
CONS: Lacks speed and burst to make plays in space and outside the hashmarks. Lack of athleticism is apparent when he's working in space. Lacks ideal awareness when working in zone coverage. Doesn't have great upfield burst to be an impact blitzer. Will get sucked up in traffic and has trouble getting off blocks.
OVERVIEW: Productive player when he was on the field that played inside linebacker mostly in West Virginia's 3-3-5 set. Battled shoulder injuries throughout his career, having missed most of the 2008 season because of it. And he also had issues with it as a senior, but still appeared in 12 games, recording 68 tackles, 6 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 7 passes defended. His best year was as a sophomore where he had 107 tackles, 5.5 TFLs, 1 sack and 1 pick.
NFL FORECAST: I'm concerned about his nagging shoulder issues and obviously team doctors would have to determine if it could cause long-term issues. BUt if he can stay healthy, he can be a nice TED linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. He is able to work in coverage, although he's not going to be able to match up with NFL-caliber players there, and will have to be limited to work mainly in zone coverage. I think he has the potential to become a starter in the 3-4, although he won't be great there because he's not going to make many impact plays. But could be a decent stopgap for a few seasons. But more than likely he'll spend his career as a reserve that has to impact on special teams.
ATL FORECAST: He would only stick in Atlanta based on his ability to play on special teams. He offers very limited upside to play MLB in the 4-3 scheme because he's not very big or powerful, and is limited in coverage.
VALUE: For a 3-4 team, he might make a decent sixth or seventh round pick assuming the shoulder injury isn't an issue going forward. Otherwise, he should go undrafted.

"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "
Make It a Safe Trip
For terrorists and other criminals, there must be few targets more inviting than high-net-worth individuals who fly privately. Which countries are safe? "None," according to Edward L. Lee II, author of Staying Safe Abroad: Traveling, Working and Living in a Post-9/11 World. Lee knows what he's talking about, having spent 30 years with the U.S. State Department, where he served as a regional security officer in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and helped develop post-9/11 anti-terrorism strategies.
His 325-page book is an easy-to-carry 4½-by-6½-inch collection of everything you need to know about traveling safely, from threat assessment to eye-opening statistics. The volume is available from online booksellers such as Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

This fun Groovy Gathered Skirt from Lelanie Denso would be perfect for any little girl! The stretch allows for fits for all sizes and girls are sure to love the twirly ruffles! When it comes to kids clothes, homemade is the way to go!
- Waist band: 2 pcs. (12" x 4")
- Skirt: yop layer 2 pcs. (16" x 5")
- Bottom layer (plain) 2 pcs. (16" x 7")
- Sewing machine and thread
- Let's start with the waist band. Bring the short sides together, wrong side facing together, sew straight stitches 1/8" away from the seam. Sew both short sides.
- Turn your waist band inside out. Fold on the crease where you have sewn the straight stitches and sew straight stitches 1/4" away from the edge. We've just made a french seam. Do the same to the other short side.
- Fold twice (1/4" folded twice under) one of the longer side of your waist band (this will be the top part of your waist band) and sew a hem with straight stitches. Repeat the same steps for the top and bottom layer of your skirt.
- Sew gathering stiches on the unsewn side of your skirt pieces.
- Gather your skirt pieces.
- Place your top skirt inside your bottom skirt.
- It would look like this when viewed from the gathered side of the skirt.
- Sew straight stitches 1/4" away from the raw edge of the skirt pieces just a little above the gathering stitches.
- You can finish it with zigzag stitches, coverstitch, overlock stitch. Or better yet, serge it!
- Turn your skirt inside out. Topstitch on your waist band.
- With elastic thread, begin sewing shirring stitches on your waistband.
- Now, you have a layered gathered skirt with shirred waist.

YIELD: Makes 2 servings
In a bowl whisk beer into flour until smooth and stir in salt. Make several shallow cuts across inside curve of each shrimp and press shrimp gently (to help prevent curling during cooking). Peel sweet potato and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
In a 3-quart saucepan heat 2 inches oil to 375°F. Working in batches of 3 or 4 pieces, dredge shrimp, sweet potato slices, bell pepper rings, and asparagus spears in batter to coat completely, letting excess drip off, and fry, turning, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer tempura as fried to brown paper with tongs to drain and season with salt.
Serve tempura with soy sauce.

But how does this road fit in with the strict rules of the Antarctic Treaty to preserve the continent from pollution and exploitation? For example, the US National Science Foundation has allocated over 10,000 kilograms of explosives and half a million litres of diesel fuel to complete the project. Aside from the exhaust pollution and traces of explosives left in the ice, spilt fuel could threaten large areas. Twenty gallons of oil trickling into a space as vast as Antarctica may not sound much, "but when that's the first 20 gallons ever spilt there, there's a much greater impact", says Josh Stevens of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC), an environmental group based in Washington DC.
The main bone of contention is that no one carried out a rigorous environmental impact assessment before work started. "The Antarctic Treaty system was never given the opportunity to review what seems a major undertaking until it was under way," says Stevens. "Without a comprehensive environmental review, there is no way of knowing the impact of all this." The effect the road will have should become clearer when the US National Science Foundation submits its full assessment in May. But by that time the project should be half finished.
ASOC is keeping an open mind. "If they make one tractor-train journey a year and that means they fly in 10 fewer aircraft, the road is probably a good idea," says Stevens. And the tractor convoys that will travel this route will be totally self-contained, says Anandakrishnan. "After the tractor train has been through, you wouldn't know it's been there if you came back a week later," he says.
Two important issues remain. Firstly, will the engineers be able to maintain the road? Winter storms could block the highway with snow drifts that will need to be cleared before convoys can pass. Secondly, and worse, it is built on ice that is moving at speeds up to a metre a day in places. What effect will that have? "The crevasses will open up again after a certain amount of time," says Anandakrishnan, but no one knows how long this might take. Checks this year showed no new cracks in the road.
Although it is only intended as a supply route to the pole, the road could also open up huge swathes of wilderness to a range of people, says Stevens. "We have seen this with many different projects." Already more than 10,000 tourists visit the continent each season. That's an awful lot of bus tours.
