Fantasy Football Thursday Tidbits
by Ben Hogan
It's Playoff Time in Fantasy Football as Week 14 in the actual NFL season approaches. Most fantasy leagues start the playoffs this week, to end in Week 16, but there are a few that go through this week and end in Week 17. I am going to do something a little bit different here, because most folks have his/her roster set and would just be picking up guys to even more solidify his/her team. I will give you rankings this week based on tiers - green are guys you should have no worries starting; yellow are risk/reward guys; red are last ditch options if you don't have anyone better
As always, good luck and if you are still reading this, then you are in the Playoffs, congrats to you and hopefully you will be reading the next two or three weeks as well.
Here they are below:
Aaron Rodgers - GB v ATL
Ryan Tannehill - MIA v BAL
Tom Brady - NE @ SD
Andy Dalton - CIN v PIT
Andrew Luck - IND @ CLE
Philip Rivers - SD vs NE
Peyton Manning - DEN v BUF

Fantasy Football Tuesday Tidbits
One more week in the books for the NFL season and Week 9 was rough as six teams were on a bye and players that you are used to performing on a high level were kept in check. Philip Rivers turned into a turnover machine against the tough Dolphins defense, DeMarco Murray was kept under 100 yards for the first time all season by Arizona, and even though he led his team to victory, Russell Wilson didn't account for one Seattle touchdown. On the other hand, Jeremy Hill, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger owners finished Sunday satisfied.
Week 10 presents another challenging week as injuries continue to pile up, the guessing continues, and six more teams on a bye. Here below are a few players to help you avoid the bye week blues and yes I know Adrian Peterson has reached a plea deal, but I am in no position to say whether or not you should pick him up because I have no idea what Roger Goodell will do.
Bye Weeks: Indianapolis, Minnesota, New England, San Diego, Washington, Houston
Pluck and Play
These are guys that are the cure for your guys that may be out a week or two, but should not be counted on to make an impact all season long. Since the bye weeks start this week, I am also going to mix in players that are bye week players, in which you probably wouldn't start unless other guys get injured or you have a week in which a lot of players are on a bye.
Mark Sanchez - Eagles
The injury to Nick Foles couldn't come at a worse time for Foles owners, with it being on a six team bye week and this late into the season. Most, if not all of the QBs that would be worth starting in your fantasy league are on a roster. Mark Sanchez is worth picking up for Foles owners, as he filled in fine on Sunday and finished what Foles started in the Eagles 31-21 triumph over the Texans. In limited action over the preseason and 2+ quarters coming in for Foles, Sanchez has looked competent and capable. Sanchez did throw two INTs, but Foles owners are used to riding that roller coaster as he also tossed two touchdowns and threw for 202 yards.
Terrance West - Browns
Here we go again, taking a turn on the Browns running back merry-go-round. Three weeks ago it looked as if Isaiah Crowell was going to seize at least the backup role to Ben Tate and West would be the odd man out. Then two weeks ago, Crowell was basically shut down after showing problems holding onto the ball, but Tate was still the guys. This past week, West appears to have the inside track to at least split carries with Tate. Coach Mike Pettine will probably borrow a page out of Jeff Fisher's book and play the "hot-hand," and right now that's West, who had 15 carries. You could do worse than West if you are just looking for a guy to fill in for one of your guy's bye weeks.
Streaming Defenses of the Week - Ravens vs Titans; Steelers @Jets
Others: Jarvis Landry - Dolphins; Theo Riddick - Lions; Mychal Rivera - Raiders
Roster Regulars
It seems every week, whether due to injuries, off-the-field incidents, or just playing better than the guy in front of them, there are two or three guys worth picking up off the waiver wire that could be season savers.
Ryan Mathews - Chargers
Remember this guy? Yeah, he has been out since Week 2 in the NFL and the Chargers have gone through Danny Woodhead, Donald Brown, and Branden Oliver. Oliver looked like a guy who may threaten playing time from Mathews once he returned, but two lackluster games back-to-back stopped the talk barely after it got started. Mathews will be getting 20-25 touches once he returns and is available in a little over half of the leagues and if he is out there, then pick him up.
Mike Evans - Buccaneers
What a rookie combo of Wide Receivers in Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans, both are bonafide studs and will be stars in this league for the next decade. Watkins is owned in more leagues simply because Evans lines up opposite of Vincent Jackson and the thought is that V-Jax will take away looks from Evans. Evans is now the number one receiver in Tampa Bay and should be owned in all formats.
Others: Adrian Peterson - Vikings; Alfred Blue - Texans; Kyle Rudolph - Vikings
Cut Bait
All of these guys below are players that have underwhelmed so far this season and if you need to pick up somebody else, feel free to drop these guys.
Wes Welker - Broncos
I am as shocked as the next person on how much Welker has dropped off this season. He is even droppable in PPR leagues, which being a possession receiver is the league that he is most valuable. I understand he missed the first few games due to suspension, but he went from 73 catches on 111 targets last season to just 22 receptions on 32 targets so far this year. Plenty of other options out there for the production you will get with Welker.
Branden Oliver - Chargers
It's amazing how Oliver went from a season saver to a guy that will just be a backup once Ryan Mathews returns. I thought maybe his one bad game was a fluke, but it seemed like his game where he broke onto the NFL scene was indeed the fluke. I guess it should be noted that his two 100 yard games came against the Jets and Raiders (a combined one win between them). Make room for somebody else on your roster and drop Oliver.
Others: Cordarrelle Patterson - Vikings; RGIII - Redskins; Jordan Cameron - Browns
Backfield Battles
Predicting which running back is going to get the majority of the carries in a timeshare can be tough, so let me figure it out for you. Each week I will break down 2 running backs by committee.
Buffalo Bills - Anthony Dixon and Bryce Brown
Anthony Dixon received the majority of the carries when the Bills played in Week 8, and that was due to the Bills being in control for most of the game in their 20 point win over the New York Jets. I expect them to be in a more competitive game this week taking on the Kansas City Chiefs and in turn have Bryce Brown more involved in the offense for the Bills this week. Dixon will still likely get the start, but if you're in a pinch, feel comfortable with giving Brown a shot.
Philadelphia Eagles - LeSean McCoy, Darren Sproles, and Chris Polk
There is really no reason why I should be writing this as McCoy is a beast, a Top 5 pick, and has shown he can still get it done. But, it seems Chip Kelly for some reason doesn't want to use McCoy as much this season. Sproles showed flashes of his old self early in the season, but has not done much since then, including missing a couple weeks with an injury. If sharing touches with Sproles wasn't enough, Chris Polk was all of the sudden heavily involved in the offense, collecting 50 yards on eight carries and a touchdown. McCoy has just one touchdown, but plenty of opportunities, so keep it rolling with McCoy and wait another week on Polk.
Make sure you catch ESPN 790 Fantasy Kickoff Show on ESPN 790 every Sunday from 11 AM - Noon right up until kickoff so you are prepared for the week in Fantasy Football. I am the host and Bennett Doyle produces. Also, hit me up on Twitter @NotTheGolfer for all of your fantasy questions and hate.
We are now halfway through the Fantasy Football season with the completion of Week 8, but for most of you the season will end in the next seven weeks. The end game is always to drink from that Championship Cup at the completion of the season, but if your team isn't one of the lucky ones to compete in the Playoffs, don't give up because others are counting on you to provide competition until you are eliminated. Suppose you were in the position of another owner and you were the one that needed the help, chances are you will be in the same league with the same guys next year and folks remember that stuff.
The bye week bonanza returns this week with six teams on bye, so roster depth is super important, here are some guys below that you may look to add to keep your momentum going.
Bye Weeks: Atlanta, Buffalo, Tennessee, Green Bay, Chicago, Detroit
Carson Palmer - Cardinals
Palmer is owned in barely over a third of the leagues, mainly because a lot of owners dropped him when he went down with the arm injury, not knowing when or even if he would see the field again. Since his return three weeks ago, Palmer has put up fantasy totals of 18, 16, and 21 in standard leagues. I could think of a lot worse bye week replacements for owners of Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, and Jay Cutler. Owners of Cutler and Ryan would be able to use Palmer as a plug and play for bad matchups.
Kenny Britt - Rams
I would be lying if I told you that I knew I would recommend somebody to pick up Kenny Britt in Fantasy Football. But, with the season ending injury to Brian Quick, the Rams now have to look elsewhere for their number one receiver. Enter Britt. He has shown himself capable as he had 52 yards last week and now with Quick out, he will be called upon to be their go-to-guy. Britt is someone that needs a second chance like this, no surprise it is coming from the man who drafted him in Jeff Fisher. He has the talent to succeed, it's just all about him getting his head right.
Streaming Defenses of the Week - Chiefs vs Jets; Bengals vs Jaguars
Others: Lorenzo Taliaferro - Ravens; Juwan Thompson - Broncos; Paul Richardson - Seahawks
Jonas Gray - Patriots
I wrote about Jonas in the "Backfield Battles" segment of my article last week and said he is the guy to own in the Patriots backfield. Obviously, not enough owners picked him up because he is still available in over 95% of fantasy leagues. Two weeks ago people were talking about Brandon Bolden or James White taking over for the injured Stevan Ridley. Now, it's clear that job belongs to Gray as he had 17 carries for 86 yards. If Brady wasn't rolling like he was, Gray would have been used in goal line situations. Gray will be the lead back for the Patriots from here on out and if you need some help at the position, I recommend you pick him up.
Donte Moncrief - Colts
#FeedMoncrief. The Colts did that in their shootout with the Steelers and were rewarded with a seven catch, 133 yard effort from the rookie out of Ole Miss. Moncrief was filling in for the injured Reggie Wayne, and I think that his performance proved himself more than worthy of taking over that third receiver spot occupied by Hakeem Nicks once Wayne returns. Add Moncrief now and thank me later.
Others: Martavis Bryant - Steelers; Charles Sims - Bucs; John Brown - Cardinals
Doug Martin - Bucs
Yes, it is that time, the Playoffs are coming around and you need to make sure you have a team that can position you to get the best draw in the playoffs. Rumors are swirling around the Tampa area that the Bucs are looking at activating rookie Charles Sims off of the IR and could be starting within the next two weeks. That doesn't bode well for Martin owners who expected a lot more from a guy in which they spent their first or second round pick on.
Dwayne Bowe - Chiefs
A guy who seemed to be on the cusp of stardom two years ago has yet to find the end zone once this season and hasn't hit the century mark either. Bowe may end up finding the end zone eventually, and if you want to roll the dice with him, go for it, but I don't think that's a good idea. Bowe may be the number one "receiver" in Kansas City, but Jamaal Charles is the man that will get the touches there.
Others: Wes Welker - Broncos; LeGarrette Blount - Steelers; Owen Daniels - Ravens
Cleveland Browns - Ben Tate, Isaiah Crowell, Terrance West
First thing is Ben Tate in the number one guy no matter what for the Browns, as neither Crowell nor West have shown much of anything that would cause Head Coach Mike Pettine to make the switch. But, at the beginning of the season, Crowell was good enough to be used as a bye week replacement, but now not so much. Word out of Cleveland is that they don't trust Crowell because of his fumbling problems, but are willing to give him a shot to show them something. Right now, Tate is the only one worth starting and unless he goes down with an injury or you are wanting to handcuff, the other two are droppable.
Denver Broncos - Ronnie Hillman, Juwan Thompson, Montee Ball
Montee Ball will be returning to the Broncos in the next couple of weeks and with that, the running back situation becomes even cloudier than it is now. Three weeks ago Hillman was the guy and then this past Thursday night, Thompson the vulture swooped in and took two touchdowns from Hillman who did most of the leg work. Chances are, Ball will slowly start taking reps from Hillman, but depending on his performance, he may or may not reclaim that starting job. It will be worth watching on who is practicing with the first and second teams during practice over the next couple of weeks in Denver.
The end of Week 7 has brought us to over the halfway point in most Fantasy Football leagues. If you aren't at the halfway point, you will be after this upcoming week and if you feel like your team is on the outside looking in, don't panic quite yet. The reason I say that is because this season has been so unpredictable that there could be that one guy you pick up that propels you up the standings, and he could be in one of the lists below.
Quick head's up also, Atlanta and Detroit will be playing in London and kicking off at 8:30 AM CT, so make sure you have the Falcons and Lions players ready to go in your lineup the night before.
Bye Weeks: New York Giants and San Francisco
Bryce Brown - Bills
The Buffalo Bills may have come back and won last Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, but they also lost their top two running backs in a span of five minutes. CJ Spiller was lost for the year after he broke his collarbone and Fred Jackson will also be shelved for the foreseeable future. Anthony "Boobie" Dixon picked up where they left off gaining 51 yards on 13 carries. You may be asking yourself, "Why should I pick up a guy that hasn't been active all season?" in Bryce Brown. The reason is because he can break plays and Anthony Dixon can't. Dixon will still be used in short yardage situations, but I believe that Brown will be used more as a feature back at least for the next two to four weeks while Fred Jackson is out.
Travaris Cadet - Saints
Cadet is listed as a running back on the depth chart and considered a RB in fantasy football. He has three carries all season, the value in Cadet is his part in the passing game for the Saints. Even with Pierre Thomas in the lineup, Cadet has been targeted more often (20 times in the past 3 weeks), but now Thomas will miss up to three weeks, Cadet should see an uptick in targets to more than likely double digits. Cadet is especially valuable in PPR leagues and should be picked up in all of those.
Streaming Defenses of the Week - Dolphins @Jaguars; Vikings @Bucs
Others: Joseph Randle - Cowboys; Brandon LaFell - Patriots; Jonathan Stewart - Panthers
Doug Baldwin - Seahawks
In a surprise to most people, Percy Harvin was traded from Seattle to the Jets last Friday afternoon, and because of that, Baldwin becomes their number on receiver. Baldwin did not disappoint in his first game as their primary receiver by hauling in seven catches for 123 yards and a touchdown. Seattle feels pretty confident in what they have in their receiving corp (Jermaine Kearse, Paul Richardson, and Kevin Norwood), but the most important thing in Russell Wilson's confidence and Baldwin has that. Seattle will rely on the run a little bit more, but Baldwin will be just fine as the go-to-guy in Seattle.
Denard Robinson - Jaguars
It was Toby Gerhart first, then it was Storm Johnson, and now it's Denard Robinson. The difference is that Robinson looked really good as the primary back for the Jaguars. It also didn't hurt that the Jaguars got their first win of the season. I know the running back pool is thin and Robinson is worth adding, so go ahead and do it without reservation.
Others: Tre Mason - Rams; Owen Daniels - Ravens; Ryan Tannehill - Dolphins
Zac Stacy - Rams
All week leading up to last Sunday, fantasy football owners were well aware that Stacy would be losing carries to Tre Mason and Benny Cunningham. But, what they did not know was that Stacy would play just one snap and it appears that Mason has won the job as the Rams' running back. It's unfortunate because while Stacy's production had declined a bit, it was also because the Rams faced tough matchups early in the season. Whether or not Stacy gets out of Jeff Fisher's doghouse is anybody's guess, so go ahead and release him.
Jason Witten - Cowboys
He may just blow the second half of the season away, but Witten hasn't looked like an important part of this explosive Dallas offense so far. In fact, the other Tight End on the squad, Gavin Escobar had as many touchdowns (2) as Witten did catches in the Cowboys win over the Giants on Sunday. I am not saying go pick up Escobar, but do feel safe telling you to dump Witten.
Others: Jeremy Hill - Bengals; Khiry Robinson - Saints; Danny Amendola - Patriots
Buffalo Bills - Bryce Brown, Anthony Dixon, Fred Jackson
This one can get complicated as common sense and previous play, Bryce Brown should be the obvious answer, which I think actually will end up being the right answer. The wrench in all of this is Dixon played well in relief of Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller and felt like he earned the starting spot. Brown will get plenty of touches, but Dixon may end up being the one getting the touchdowns. Fred Jackson is the number one whenever he returns, no doubt about it.
New England Patriots - Shane Vereen, Jonas Gray, Brandon Bolden, James White
Most fantasy owners loathe Bill Belichick in the sense that you never know what he is thinking and usually the only two constants in the lineup are Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. The guessing game reared its' ugly head on Thursday as many thought Bolden would figure in the offense with Vereen. As Lee Corso would say "Not so fast!" Jonas Gray was pulled off the practice squad that day and got the second most carries behind Vereen. From what I've read, Vereen will be the guy, and Jonas Gray will play the Ridley role as many in the organization feel he is as close to a Ridley clone you can get, minus the fumbles. Vereen needs to be owned in every league, Gray should be rostered in deeper leagues.
The longer the NFL season goes, the more important depth becomes not only on the field, but on your fantasy football team as well. This week was no different as two starting running backs were lost for the year (Stevan Ridley and Knowshon Moreno), while others were knocked out of their games and will be shelved for a few more weeks. When that happens, you have to make sure there is someone that can fill in with the least amount of drop off in production. Follow these tips below and good luck the rest of the way!
Bye Weeks: Philadelphia and Tampa Bay
Brandon Bolden - Patriots
I understand that this segment is usually for guys that are just injury replacements for a few weeks, but with Ridley going down, Shane Vereen is first in line to pick up the the touches since he was basically splitting them to begin with, but Belichick seems to rather use Vereen on passing downs more than an every down back. That is where Bolden fits in, as he will have the first crack at the starting job, with James White and even Jonas Gray waiting in the wings. Vereen's touches will increase, but Bolden is worth picking up if you are a Ridley owner, or are looking for a bye week fill in the next couple of weeks.
Isaiah Crowell - Browns
This is more of a speculative add as the Browns' running back, Ben Tate never seems to stay healthy. The fact that Terrance West was a healthy scratch on Sunday made it obvious that Crowell is the backup in Cleveland. The Browns have already doubled their season total from last year in rushing touchdowns; went from four to eight. That also shows that there is plenty to go around. If Crowell is the only other back taking touches from Tate, then look for him to get 8 to 11 touches a game and with his averaging about five and half yards per carry and almost a touchdown a game, there is a strong possibility for a double digit fantasy performance. Again, one of those players that's more of a bye week replacement than anything.
Streaming Defenses of the Week - Browns @ Jaguars; Redskins v Titans
Others: Tre Mason - Rams; Josh Hill - Saints; Derek Carr - Raiders
Odell Beckham Jr. - Giants
I was reluctant to put Beckham in here last week because he was the fifth option in a Giants offense that usually has at least one disappointment each week, whether it be Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle, or Larry Donnell. This past week, they actually all disappointed by getting shut out in Philadelphia, and to make matters worse, Victor Cruz was lost for the year. Beckham moves into that number two receiver in New York and I feel that last week was a fluke for their offense and things will get back on track this week to make Beckham a must pick-up in every league.
Andre Holmes - Raiders
James Jones was the guy early on in the season in Oakland, but Holmes now has three touchdowns in his last two games. Holmes is big - 6'5" - has strong hands and catch jump over corners. Carr is improving every game as the Raiders' QB and will look to Holmes when he needs a big play. Jones is the security blanket and Holmes in the big play threat, so as crazy as it seems, there are two Oakland receivers worth owning in fantasy football.
Others: Mohamed Sanu - Bengals; Storm Johnson - Jaguars; Josh Gordon - Browns
Shonn Greene - Titans
Now, I don't know if the time is now for Bishop Sankey, but it appears that Greene's time may be up in Tennessee. He sat this past week as Sankey took the lion's share of the carries, with Jackie Battle vulturing the goal line carries. The fact that most folks know the Titans will not be contending for the playoffs, Coach Whisenhunt will probably be more willing to see what the future holds in Sankey rather than to see how much Shonn Greene has left in the tank.
Matt Asiata - Vikings
In fantasy football, it's better to cut a guy loose a week over holding onto him a week too long. Asiata only had three touches in Sunday's loss to Detroit, while Jerick McKinnon took hold of that number one spot with 17 touches. McKinnon is the future in Minnesota is Asiata's fantasy value plummeted this past week, so pick up somebody you can start instead of waiting out this backfield battle.
Others: DeAngelo Williams - Panthers; Maurice Jones-Drew - Raiders; Carlos Hyde - 49ers
Atlanta Falcons - Antone Smith and Steven Jackson
I was completely shocked at the lack of use of Steven Jackson this past week against the Chicago Bears. The Bears had been giving up over five yards a carry and Jackson looked primed for his breakout game of this year. Unfortunately, he had a season low six carries and Antone Smith once again had a big play. Atlanta needs Smith's big play ability more than Jackson's time control running game right now as they have struggled after blowing out Tampa Bay a few weeks back. Look for Smith to get more and more snaps while Jackson gets fewer.
Denver Broncos - Ronnie Hillman, CJ Anderson, Juwan Thompson
In a surprising move, John Fox actually used all three running backs like most thought he would in replacement of the injured Montee Ball. Hillman got 24 carries and hit the century mark to show there is life in the Denver backfield. Anderson didn't even see the field and Thompson got a few touches to give Hillman a breather. While Ball is out, Hillman is the guy to own in Denver's backfield.
Much like Week 2, this past week in the NFL provided more questions than answers. While it is true that Tom Brady and Demaryius Thomas found their old form; guys like LeSean McCoy and Larry Fitzgerald are still trying to find theirs. Also, Calvin Johnson can't stay healthy and Montee Ball, who was struggling, ended up going down with an injury. Guys that I just mentioned were probably taken in your Top 4 rounds, and most were taken in the 1st or 2nd round. If you are an owner with one of these guys mentioned above, here is who you need to pick up to ensure you do not drop off like they have.
Bye Weeks: Kansas City and New Orleans
Ronnie Hillman - Broncos
The starter and the guy that was supposed to look like a RB1, Montee Ball, went down with an injury this past Sunday. Ball never showed the promise that he did at Wisconsin and at small bits last season, but he was the starting running back in the most explosive offense in the NFL. While it is unfortunate that Ball went down, that does open the door for Hillman, who always seems to be there to play backup. The other running back, CJ Anderson, was a healthy scratch this past week. That may have been by design as Manning threw the ball a bunch for over 450 yards and Hillman figures into the passing game more than Anderson. Anderson will play as long as Ball is out, but Hillman is the guy that will make more of an impact than Anderson.
Devin Hester - Falcons
Hester has finally found an offense that will showcase him in the right way. Harry Douglas has been on the shelf ever since that Thursday night shellacking of the Bucs in which he was injured. Enter Hester. In Week 4 he had five catches for 70 yards and a touchdown, and last week he narrowly missed another TD. Hester will have revenge on his mind when the Falcons take on the Bears and as we have seen with DeSean Jackson vs the Eagles and Steve Smith vs the Panthers, Hester should have a HUGE day vs the Bears.
Streaming Defenses of the Week - Ravens @ Tampa Bay; Titans vs Jaguars
Others: Benny Cunningham - Rams; Antone Smith - Falcons; Marvin Jones - Bengals
Andre Williams - Giants
The two guys that I will be writing about this week are in similar situations, but feel that Williams will be the guy you should go after first if he is available in your league. Just looking at the numbers, it appears Williams is available in just under ⅔ of the leagues. He is stepping in due to an injury to Rashad Jennings, who could be out anywhere from one week to four weeks. Williams was already getting carries not only in garbage time, but a change of pace back. Coughlin loves these types of guys (see: Brandon Jacobs, Andre Brown, Ron Dayne, etc.) and they get utilized a bunch; therefore will continue to get carries once Jennings does return.
Fantasy owners and Jets fans got to know Brandon Oliver real quick this past Sunday as he stepped in for the injury depleted Chargers backfield and took the lead role. Ryan Mathews is expected to return in a week or two and will reclaim the starting position, but with Danny Woodhead done for the season, Donald Brown looking like a FA bust, and Mike McCoy liking to use different looks, Oliver should continue to get touches when Mathews returns. Oliver, at least for one game, looked like a Darren Sproles clone, right down to the number.
Others: Malcolm Floyd - Chargers; Austin Davis - Rams; Justin Hunter - Titans
Chris Johnson - Jets
I hate to say this, as I thought Chris Johnson would be a good fit in the Jets offense, sharing carries with Chris Ivory. Looks like I was wrong as Ivory as been way better in the time he has seen the field. It seems every week there are two or three running backs that are hot tickets on the waiver wire and if you need to drop somebody, feel free to drop Johnson. Johnson's carries have decreased each week and is obviously playing second fiddle to Ivory.
Cecil Shorts III - Jaguars
Shorts is owned in almost 90 % of leagues and wide receiver is too deep for you to hang onto a guy that may play this week or he may not. Seems to be a guessing game each week with Shorts and as strange as it is to say, there are other weapons in Jacksonville that will take targets away from Shorts. Allen Robinson, Marqise Lee, and Allen Hurns are guys that could each outperform Shorts on any given week.
Others: Terrance West - Browns; Donald Brown - Chargers; Dwayne Bowe - Chiefs
Minnesota Vikings - Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon
Last week in this very article, I suggested that McKinnon should be your number one target on the waiver wire and I still believe if you picked up McKinnon, you will be rewarded. It's tough to base anything on last week's game as Christian Ponder was just horrendous. Teddy Bridgewater should return this week and that will benefit McKinnon. In the last two games the numbers on total touches look like this: Asiata - 23 (Week 4) & 15 (Week 5); McKinnon - 19 (Week 4) & 10 (Week 5). I think this week it will be closer to a 50/50 share than last week. Both are worth owning, Asiata safer start and McKinnon with higher upside.
Tennessee Titans - Shonn Greene and Bishop Sankey
One of the more frustrating things for fantasy owners is the promise of a rookie like Bishop Sankey breaking out. It looked as if Week 5 was the prime time for Sankey to do such that, as he got his first touchdown in a game in Week 4 and he was cutting into Shonn Greene's playing time. Not only that, but he gained the support of Coach Ken Whisenhunt. But, it was all smoke and mirrors as Sankey once again disappointed rushing eight times for 27 yards. I don't think Greene is worth holding onto if you can get something better for the future, but Sankey is worth a roster spot. Just don't expect big things in Week 6, let him prove that now is his time before you rely on him

The crowd went bonkers to that ad.
So last night they played unreleased parts of random access memories on multiple stages inbetween sets. Right before Wolfgang Gartner went on in the Sahara, all the lights went off in the Mojave and the screens on either side read Daft Punk, tons of people started rushing into the mojave but then they dissapeared and the lights came back on. Friends who are backstage have told me that they are indeed confirmed to join Phoenix tonight...time will tell.
ok this is starting to get a little fucked up.
I don't even understand how the whole Phoenix thing works... So, if they are "joining" them, does that mean that they are on-stage for, what? One song? Splitting the set evenly? I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm confused. WHO PLAYED THAT? WHERE? what time?
It was shown on the main stage and in the tents.
May 15-17 - Psycho California
June 6 - The Rolling Stones
June 10 - Melvins
June 20 - Blur
June 24-28 - Glastonbury
July 18 - Death Grips?
July 26 - Faith No More
September 25 - Kraftwerk
I was in the mojave when they played the trailer and it was incredible. The place went absolutely apeshit and instantly became an enormous dance party. It was glorious.
Sooooo... Daft Punk are actually at the festival.

Professional Wine Reviews for Allegrini Amarone Della Valpolicella Corte Giara 2010
Rated 90 by Decanter
Good Amarone is never inexpensive, but the 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella is an excellent introduction. Juicy and expressive, the 2010 graces the palate with plum, spicecake, French oak and clove notes. The medium-bodied style is best enjoyed over the next few years. (Galloni)

Additional Information on Allegrini Amarone Della Valpolicella Corte Giara 2010
Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Corvina Blend
The Corvina varietal grape has been long associated with the region of Veneto in Italy, where it is a native varietal which flourishes in the warm and windy climate of this area. In recent decades, it has been planted in several New World countries, where wine makers are often experimenting with traditional Italian varietals in an attempt to emulate their fine wines. Corvina grapes are a key ingredient in several of Italy's best known and most loved wines, including Amarone and Valpolicella, two excellent aged red wines which make the most of Corvina's high acidity levels and wonderful flavors of almond and sour cherry. The Corvina grape has plenty of pigment in its thick skins, resulting in quite a vivid crimson colored wine – an attribute which is also widely celebrated by vintners across the world.
Region: Veneto
The wine region of Veneto in north-eastern Italy has long been associated with fine wines, but also with the spirit of innovation which is typical of the region and which made it an important area of Europe throughout history. Indeed, today Veneto's wine-makers are recognized as the most modernized in all of Italy, using contemporary techniques to make the best of the high quality grape varietals which flourish in the region. These include the wonderful Garganega varietal, which is the grape used for the production of Veneto's widely loved Soave white wine, and Glera and Verduzzo, which are both used in more traditional wines of the region. The region benefits from a cooler climate, but one which is sheltered by the Alps, producing balanced and consistent climatic conditions ideal for viticulture.
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

Heaven is a Hole in One in Golf in the Kingdom
Spewing spiritual platitudes about golf with abandon, Golf in the Kingdom lionizes the sport as, among other overblown things, "an X-ray of the soul," "a microcosm of the world," and "the yoga of the supermind." Based on Michael Murphy's popular 1971 novel, writer/director Susan Streitfeld's film tells the tale of young cipher Michael Murphy (Mason Gamble), who, while traveling to India in search of enlightenment, stops to play a game at Scotland's Burningbush course and, paired with philosopher-guru Shivas Irons (David O'Hara), experiences his own mystical awakening. Even that basic plot description, however, implies a lucidity that doesn't truly exist in the movie. From the outset, Streitfeld hopscotches back and forth over her tale's 24 hours with a self-conscious aesthetic affectation (overlapping imagery, shifting camera speeds, elliptical edits) that demolishes any intelligible character or plot development, resulting in a story comprised of pretentious meditative fragments. Whether spending time at a dinner table with Shivas's full-of-themselves pals, or accompanying Michael and Shivas as they journey to find a legendary sage and scream at the ocean, the film proves devoid of thematic coherence or consequence. The final ball in the bunker: pensive upward-tilting shots of treetops that ineffectually strive for Terrence Malick lyricism.

problems with compiz and multiple cards

Re: problems with compiz and multiple cards
Even if it were somehow possible (perhaps using XGL but I have my doubts about it) to use a 'xinerama'-like setup using two cards the performance would suck especially in cases where you have to move windows between the two displays. The main performance issues of compiz/kwin are related to copying pixmaps (windows, bitmaps) from system memory to video memory 'when needed'. This is quite complicated as you don't want to move pixmaps around all the time as it is slow, when it is in video memory you want to keep it there. When you move windows or so between two displays in a setup with two cards you have to a lot of moving from card 1 to card 2 which is very inefficient and this kills performance.
I believe on Windows Nvidia offers these days twinview in sli mode. If that's correct they likely didn't take the time to port it to Linux yet (read no big customers asked for it).

How the English Language is Shakespeare's Language
- Before Shakespeare's time, English language was, on the whole, not standardized. His works contributed significantly to the standardization of grammar, spelling, and vocabulary.Shakespeare introduced 1,700 original words into the language, many of which we still use (remarkably despite the significant changes in the language since Shakespeare's time). These include: "lonely," "frugal," "dwindle," and many more.
- In addition to all the words, many phrases that we use daily originated in Shakespeare's work. When someone talks about "breaking the ice" or having a "heart of gold" or when someone uses any number of other phrases, he is using Shakespeare's language.
- Finally, Shakespeare had a profound impact on poetry and literature that has lasted centuries. He perfected blank verse and became a standard in poetry. Herman Melville, William Faulkner, Lord Alfred Tennyson and Charles Dickens have all been heavily influenced by Shakespeare. The impact lead George Steiner to conclude that romantic English poets were "feeble variations on Shakespearean themes."
Because of the profound impact he had on English language and culture, studying the works of Shakespeare is an indispensable part of cultural education. Exploring the thousands of ways we still use Shakespeare's language and themes today is not only worthwhile and fascinating, but also fun.
Did you study Shakespeare's works? What did you like? What did you dislike?

Vt. senators push for Saturday mail
Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InRANDOLPH Vermont State Police say a Randolph woman has been charged in connection with the...

RUTLAND — Former elementary school teacher Will Parini, 29, of Starksboro pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography last Thursday at the U.S. District Court in Rutland.
An FBI investigation, which stemmed from an investigation in Texas, led to Parini's arrest in March. He was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. At the time he was a music teacher at Bristol Elementary School and Robinson Elementary School in Starksboro.

BRISTOL — A blaze of as-yet unknown origin destroyed an A-frame house at 239 Birch Ledge in Bristol — just off of Route 116 — during the evening of Wednesday, Oct 12. Bristol Fire Department officials confirmed that no one was injured in the blaze and surrounding homes remained untouched, though the structure belonging to John and Tonya Willard was labeled a complete loss.
According to Bristol Lister Claire Scribner, the house had been vacant for some time.
VERGENNES — Vergennes City Manager Mel Hawley is talking with two existing Vergennes businesses that may be interested in a loan from a $79,000 city fund to help them expand, Hawley told Vergennes aldermen at their Oct. 11 meeting.
Hawley said in a Thursday interview he could not yet identify the firms, but said "both businesses are growing businesses."
VERGENNES — Although Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel said earlier this month he hoped to be able to complete by late last week a report on the death of a Vergennes resident during a Sept. 28 armed robbery, he confirmed on Thursday that the Chief Medical Examiner's Office will not complete its part of the work until mid-November.
While the town might lose some property tax revenue from the Lodge, it will be gaining some from the former Addison County Courthouse at 5 Court Square. That's because the property will, for the first time ever in its lengthy history, be subject to property taxes this year.
The old brick courthouse was built in 1883 on land originally owned by one of Middlebury's founders, Gamaliel Painter. The old courthouse became the property of Middlebury College once the structure was replaced by the current Frank Mahady Courthouse, built nearby in 1995 and 1996.
MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Supreme Court (VSC) on Oct. 18 will convene for the first time in modern history in Addison County. The five justices will hear six cases and offer local citizens a first-hand glimpse into the workings of the state's highest tribunal.
Editor's note: This is the latest in a series of articles focusing on the changing role of information technology in various sectors.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday unanimously agreed to lease an acre of town property to a nonprofit group to use to house a small solar farm for the next 25 years.
The lease was struck with a local group called "Acorn Energy One Solar LLC" for an acre of land located north and a little west of the Middlebury police station off Lucius Shaw Lane.
MIDDLEBURY — Children will take center stage during two days of festivities this fall as Addison County's shire town marks its 250th birthday with some epic games, drama and fireworks.
It was back on Nov. 4 of 1761 that Middlebury was chartered by colonial Gov. Benning Wentworth. The charter was awarded to John Evarts and 62 others. The town added a college and grew by leaps and bounds during the ensuing two-and-a-half centuries, to a point where more than 8,400 residents and students now call Middlebury their home.
STARKSBORO — Starksboro resident Will Parini, a former Addison Northeast Supervisory Union elementary school music teacher arrested in March on federal child pornography distribution and possession charges, will plead guilty on one of the two charges in a court hearing on Thursday, according to his attorney

"Quick" has drawn 2.5 million viewers since July 20. [JoongAng Ilbo]
No one's star has risen as quickly in the nation's film scene as Kang Ye-won's.
In the last three years, the 31-year-old actress has featured in three box office hits including "Haeundae" (2009) and "Hello Ghost" (2010), which together have racked up just under 15 million viewers.
Her latest movie "Quick", which opened on July 20, had drawn more than 2.5 million viewers as of Monday.
"I'm nervous and excited", Kang said. "In "Haeundae", I played a supporting role. This time, I had the responsibility of playing the lead. But the scenario was fun and I felt I could play the role well".
The release of "Quick" represents the culmination of Kang's 10-year career, much of which she has spent in obscurity, wandering from one minor role to the next.
Long after her fourth movie, "Haeundae", was released two years ago, Kang said people still recognized her for her role in the movie as the girlfriend of one of the main characters. Now, people recognize her on her own merits, she said.
Also indicative of her growing prominence, she estimates she has been interviewed more than 150 times since "Haeundae".
Kang credits her meteoric rise to Yoon Je-kyoon, the producer of "Quick" and the director and producer of "Haeundae".
After a minor role in the 2002 movie "Addicted", Kang went four years without any movie roles until she won a minor role in "Miracle on 1st Street" (2007). Kang describes that period as "depressing" but said she retains the work ethic she developed then.
"I couldn't participate in the productions I wanted and the productions that wanted me didn't interest me", Kang said. "I couldn't see what the future held. I was scared and on the verge of bursting into tears".
So she decided to focus on preparing herself for future roles. She finished her degree at Hanyang University, studying singing, pilates, yoga, dance, swimming and kendo, as well as a foreign language.
The turning point in her career came at her audition for "Miracle on 1st Street", when she met Yoon, the "Haeundae" director, who cast her in the film. Since then, the two have also worked together on "Haeundae", "Harmony" (2010) and "Quick".
"Since Yoon and I met, everything has worked out well", Kang said. "Even in my everyday life, I try not to over think things. I'm happy filming, so I'm in good spirits".
Kang made her debut in the 2001 SBS sitcom "Honey Honey", and until she starred in "My 19 Year Old Sister in Law" (SBS 2004), she was known by her real name, Kim Ji-eun.
After playing supporting roles in "Miracle on 1st Street" and "Haeundae", Kang played leading roles in "Harmony", as a convict who kills her stepfather, and "Hello Ghost", as a hospice nurse struggling with family problems.
In "Quick", her seventh movie, Kang plays the role of an outspoken girl who lies about her age to get into a girl group. (She said the dancing lessons she took paid off for this part, although her offer to sing was turned down.)
Her character, Ah-rom, finds herself on a motorcycle driven by an ex-boyfriend (portrayed by Kang's "Haeundae" co-star Lee Min-ki), and wearing a helmet that is set to explode if they don't deliver a package on time. The high-speed, high-stakes race is reminiscent of the 1994 film "Speed" and the 1998 French film "Taxi".
"After "Haeundae", my mother said, 'Never do another film that dangerous'," Kang said. "So I wonder what she'll say this time. Maybe she'll watch the movie and cry".
Given her output of four movies in three years, the question for Kang is obvious: what's next?
"I've been working endlessly and it's too early to have plans", she said. "First, I want to see "Quick" succeed".

Pyle, Howard:Once called "the father of American Illustration" by the New York Times, Howard Pyle was an influential artist, illustrator and teacher. His works such as The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood and the Book of Pirates created an image of rogues and pirates that remain in popular culture until the modern day. Howard Pyle was born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1853 to a Quaker family. He had little interest in education but was encouraged to study at the studio of F.A. Van der Weilen in Philadelphia. He later took some lessons at the Art Students League of New York. It was in New York that he gained national and international fame. Encouraged by artists such as A.B. Frost and Frederick S. Church, he submitted articles and illustrations to magazines such as Harper's Monthly and Scribner's Magazine. In 1881, he married Anne Poole and they had seven children. Besides his times in New York, most of his life was spent with his family in Delaware. In a time where illustrators were the celebrities of the American population, he was incredibly well-known and respected as an illustrator in connection with both his magazine articles and children's books. In Delaware, he taught students at the Howard Pyle School of Art. His style was adopted by several artists, who were later referred to as learners of The Brandywine School. Howard Pyle lived in Delaware until his death in 1911. He received no formal awards but his influence can still be seen in modern images and archetypes, including the characters of the popular film series, Pirates of the Caribbean.

Fly Drive Holidays
Comfort, convenience and adventure on the open road
Fly drive holidays appeal to people who want the convenience and comfort of a car during their holiday, and like the idea of experiencing several different destinations in the country of their choice. Fly drive packages often give people a set itinerary with pre-booked accommodation, or they can offer more flexibility depending on individual needs. Itineraries for this sort of break are normally based on what can realistically be covered in the allocated week, 10-day or fortnight trip. When planning this kind of trip, take time to consider the size and type of car or motorhome you will need, remembering to account for how much luggage you'll be carrying. Be aware that overnight parking costs at hotels may be charged separately.
Pick your perfect destination to explore on four wheels
America is the leading destination for long-haul fly-drive holidays. Driving the USA's famous highways, such as Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles, or along the Pacific Coast in California, is considered the perfect road adventure for many people. Car rental rates in the US are great value for money, with petrol prices around a quarter of those in the UK and Europe. Opting to fly drive is guaranteed to be liberating and exciting, as while touring by car you can appreciate changing landscapes and a wide variety of cities and sights. Australia and New Zealand also make excellent fly drive destinations, allowing you to cover wide areas in a short space of time. It's also possible to take this sort of break in Cuba and Canada, or if you prefer staying slightly closer to home, Spain, Portugal or Turkey.
Take a classic USA road trip through Florida
For ease and convenience when visiting the USA's 'sunshine state' of Florida, explore the excellent fly drive options on offer. Fly drive holidays to Florida appeal because of the ease with which you can cover ground on the USA's famously reliable highways, and take advantage of top quality accommodation, some of the best beaches in the US, world-class shopping malls, unique landscapes and wildlife reserves. Florida road trips typically take in Miami, the lively beach resort of Fort Lauderdale, Disney World at Orlando, the Florida Keys and the unique eco-sytem of the Everglades.

Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Sangiovese
Sangiovese qualifies as one of the truly ancient grape varietals of the Old World, and whilst it is now grown in several countries across the globe, it very much remains a classic grape of Italian wine making. One of the key features of the Sangiovese grape varietal is that it can act as a 'sponge' of flavors when maturing in oak, taking on the earthy and vanilla tones present in the barrel. These dark grapes produce a wide variety of fine wines, from the lively and strawberry flavored young wines which are growing in popularity, to the complex, spicy and delicious aged wines which are treasured by drinkers and collectors worldwide. With a history which dates back to before the times of the Roman empire, Sangiovese will no doubt continue to be a favorite for wineries wishing to plant grapes which will guarantee quality, and will always attract wine lovers worldwide.
Region: Tuscany
Tuscany is probably Italy's most important and widely respected wine region, with a history which stretches back almost three thousand years, and a set of fine grape varietals which produce some of the most delicious quality white and red wines in the world. Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes are grown all over this expansive region, and the way they are handled, aged and processed varies from town to town. The beautiful hot climate of Tuscany helps these grapes reach full ripeness, despite the fact the soil of the region is generally problematic for the vintners who work there. Despite this, there is a dedication to quality and flavor in Tuscany which is more or less unmatched anywhere else in Italy, and a great mix of strong tradition and willingness to experiment and think outside the box which has been a wonderful recipe for success in the region.
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

Pea for brain

Dude, I started to write a blog but then I saw your post and I said to myself- this guy thinks the same way only can write better ;-)
Ah, you must know Lenin well to cite him so perfectly!
I am sure you meant the server bringing most money as you DO NOT KNOW the number of servers installed. Unless you want to share some stats proving me wrong. That would be interesting.
Yes, let's study only things we do understand. Who would like to do research on things we do not understand? Right? Oh, wait....
Are you saying ideas are patentable???
Because there are a lot of courts to disagree with you.
Except more than half of the people pledged in the first 48 hours. How did they know it is going to fail then?
"Your plane has only 10% chance of crashing.
Have a nice flight!
In the mean time I hope my CO2 rich stock shares go up."
It it the good old: "Après moi, le déluge".
Firefox does not and cannot block the first 30 sec for example with ads from the video. All blocks are done at nothing vs all level.
At least in USA is a crime. Even MS lawyers realized that they would be in deep poopoo if they don't pull out the app. So no- they cannot block ads.
I am seriously surprised to see this post downvoted so much. Oh, wait, this is UK site.... (wank, wank).
Please, start downvoting now while not loosing focus of your primary, one hand browsing experience.
Just Australia my arse.
Next thing- we would not be allowed to post photos of Steve Jobs and there will be riots over movies ridiculing Steve Jobs and Apple. Apple trees would be revered and people eating apples would be stoned to death.
What is transmissible is the risk factor, not the cancer itself. Big difference.
Should have put a joke alert first. Oh well. Not that I am particularly fond of royalties.
And I forget this is a UK forum. Most of the times I respect and like UK. But sometimes I do not.
Dog's cancer is STD.
While you are correct to some degree few points are not quite true or missing the point:
Tumors do not have necessarily the same DNA. Due to the large number of generations (think how many cell divisions in the total population) mutations would be accumulating and sooner ot later you would have heterogenous cancer cell population. Actually this would be the rule, not the exception.
Also contagious cancers are know to occur only in highly inbred species (dogs, Tasmanian devil). So in humans cancer would be likely contagious among royalties and the Apalachia in Southeastern USA. Hmmm, I could mourn the Southern folks, the rest would be bad only for the yellow press.
@That Steve Guy
You moron.
Criminal: a person who has been convicted of a crime.
Are you claiming that Mr. Assange has been convicted anywhere in the world?
So you have made your mind and no matter what anyone finds you are not going to change it. OK, seen enough. You have as much credibility as a coal plant manager.
You can get locked in by Linux?
What are you smoking my friend? It must be good!
I guess you have never seen Ford Focus. Oh, wait, it was designed in Gemany.... never mind....
Rape in addition to being under reported is also the most falsified accusation.
In case you did not know- Mr Assange is not charged with rape anywhere in the world. Please, unless you have actual facts of the contrary shut up.
I dislkike Assange. I think he is sleazy and unpleasant. But this is no reason to accuse him of rape without knowing the facts.
BWT shame on you for casting the stone.
I think you just won my prize for worst post I have ever seen here on theregister.
Find me a journal worthy of you. Or a publication. You said do a search and I did. Now of course those journals are not good for you.
Perhaps your search is restricted to AmercasPower publications.
Or you are just a troll.
BTW, PNAS estimates are for 1m sea level rise by the end of 2100.
Wall Street Journal? wattsupwiththat web site? This is some really serious science man! Radical! Thanks for sharing! What are you smoking by the way?
And if you actually read what James Lovelock said you will see he is not rejecting the idea of global warming. He said that he extrapolated too far.
The problem here buster is not that he could be wrong. The problem is he could be right. Maybe 50 years later. Well, if you don't give a shit about your offspring I guess you should not care...
No one predicted the end of the world. Just the death of significant piece of the mankind as more areas become uninhabitable and wars are waged over scarce resources. I am sure you have your own definition of significant. Yes, I forgot, we have the A-bombs. I guess A stands for asshole... Never mind.
Here is one of the first I pulled up:
Nature 453, 84-88 (1 May 2008).
Then this:
Nature 453, 353-357 (15 May 2008)
Of course Nature publishes sensationalist stuff mainly, right?
Oh, here is another sensationalist one:PNAS December 22, 2009 vol. 106. PNAS is well known for its sensationalism too.
The icon is chosen because of your IQ. Spin from IPCC, good god. I am sure we can rely on your competent opinion... Go to a party or something Pierre. Somewhere where you have some credibility.
Ummm, you are wrong.
What people often failed to see is that we have a fatal crisis in the making. It may be 50 years down the road, but we will not be able just to turn around when we finally see it coming (or the 50% percent brain dead right wing ideologues).
So we should ask ourselves-what are the chance the scientific community is right? 50%? 30%? 10%?
Would you let your kid take a plane, knowing there is a 10% chance this airplane will crash?
How does this coal and oil now smell to you?
Linux on Azure? When?
And you know that Chinese hackers did not participate or even start the attack how?
My friend you are an idiot or a recent MBA graduate. Most likely both.
Intangibles? Suppositories (haha, good one, learn English)? Yes, company websites are simply for the kicks and laughs, not for generating revenue. Yes having 15 more secretaries is good... for the unemployment statistics.
Oh, sharp eyed person? What is that- the people who pick up the most competent person for the next "rightsizing"?
2300 patents X null value should equal 0, not 2. It is a highway robbery in my book.
You just don't get it do you?
There is a loooot of manual work involved in what you propose. This is why most people do not bother.
Not to mention Windows has very limited experience (<5 years) of securing their systems. Not even funny if you compare to Linux/Unix.
I mean if you buy Dell you deserve every bit of it. Including the Windows.
Is this Mango? Yuck, it is uglyyyyy
Serves you right for using Windows!
It is longer and has too many weird symbols in it.
This is one of the many legit issues with Linux. The problem is that if one of the gurus/devs are not affected there is a chance there will not be a bug fix. To be honest this is the reason I am going to Linux specific vendors (zareason system76) or check support/use for hardware before I buy.
Or you are just a plain liar. I just scanned about 2000 old photos (negatives and positives) in a batch mode with excellent quality. Not to go even into the printing....
There are few things I despise as much as Outlook. It is slow, counter intuitive, tries to do everything, but fails at many things.
1. Corruptions: 3 so far this year (don't tell me there is a new version or I do something wrong, there is always an excuse).
2. No functional recurring meetings (warned not to used them, bad things happen)
4. Meetings getting lost...
5. Creating distribution lists sucks and lists are getting corrupted.
6. Filters compared to Thunderbird suck big time.
Should I go on?
Anyone uses the crap HP and others put in the box? For real?
Eat your hard out MS boy
No, you took a lot of lessons to drive that car, remember?
It just depends on how you started- why do you need iTunes, when there is Ubuntu One?
So, yes, you could start your Linux comp and have everything you need and most of what you want.
Not part of the OS, does not qualify.
Not part of the OS. Does not qualify. Also in Linux it is a different clipboard from ctrl-V- you have easy access to 2 instead of one.
???? most installed server OS?
You surely mean Linux?
When Nokia is underwater in 4-5 years, Microsoft will have the next "big thing" in phones- Win 8, and move on to another sucker for handsets. Hoping that people will fall for the trick again.
I assume write off, not right off.
They poured over 1B so far (presumably). And the question is- how long can they keep pouring.
They net income has not grown that much from 2000, even though they had major new releases. Not to mention they just added 2.25B to their debt, even though it is very low interest (who is the idiot buying this debt anyway?).
XBOX took a really long time to make a profit and never gave MS the monopoly they long for.
the conclusions are 99% junk. Here is why:
- significant variables unaccounted for are:
1. Scope of business; it is easy to squeeze every last cent out of your customers in a particular niche (Apple)
2. Disruptive technological change; your curve is much steeper if you start form nothing and in a totally new area (Google)
3. General health of the economy; people start looking for alternatives when they are short on cash (open-source
4. Corporate idiots; "Our customers do not need tabbed browsing", " We are not interested in Internet", "Touchscreen has no future", etc., etc. How is this R&D's fault, if management take the wrong path?
-So the conclusion is R&D does not deliver, but the companies are cherry-picked. Look at Redhat, some Biotech's, oh, yes, throw in Google too. The conclusion is going to be the opposite.
Is there waste? Absolutely! But these conclusions are so far fetched and radical, I think they are mostly junk.
In a successful company you have all levels working together for the same goal. This conclusion I will accept.
