I also got Tabula Rasa yesterday, went to check out the price and bought it by mistake,( don't ask) that's ok I enjoyed the beta and it's running much better than before.
Do you mean PW -Asian or the new PW -int, I've played the Asian version, loved playing an winged elf, I hope the international version will not be so dry as the Asian version, unfortunately I can't remember what my password is so I can't get back in. :(
As a player I could be described as a game jumper, I prefer Slider,( like the TV show) I collect a lot of games and just keep sliding back and forth as I get bored with one I'll go back to one of the other games in my stable, I use to do the same with table top games, AD&D, Traveller, GURPS, Champions, Battletech & MechWarrior, Cyberpunk 2020ad,(helps if you owned your own game shop, I did back then) I also do artwork & design and write table top rules for wargames and rpg's, but mainly now I just write short story backgrounds for games and dev's( table top)
I'm looking forward to trying AoC,( when it hits the bargain bin and I get a spare 20gb of hard drive space) also looking forwards to Stargate, Champions, The Chronicles of Spellborn, there's a few more but there mile off yet.

It wasn't FOA, i since I haven't put any of that content into the game world yet for you all to try out. Might have been Exteel though.

Scars of Freedom is short documentary produced by Céline Cousteau and supported by the Treadright Foundation. While filming in Chile's Juan Fernandez Archipelago, Céline and her team heard a radio call, alerting a fisherman had spotted a humpback whale entangled in fishing net, buoys & sinkers, not far from where they were located. Struggling to break free and left for dead, the team (who are untrained for such rescue missions) set out to free the humble giant. With an estimated weight of 250kg, the net had cut halfway through one side of the whale's tail. They captured the incredible footage and produced Scars of Freedom. In contrast of the trauma, the documentary features beautiful images of humpbacks swimming freely in the protected waters off Hawaii.
Scars of Freedom documents the repercussions of human negligence contrasted with the incredible power of human compassion and what is possible when we work together.

What in the world happened to Gamespot? The best things about this site are gone...

What happened?

What in the world happened to Gamespot? All the things I loved about this site are gone.
That moment...

YouTube, Black Ops, and Hauppauge HD PVR
by msudude211 on Comments
[size=11]Yah... wow, it's been quite a while since I last blogged. As I'm sure you all well know, life has a tendency of getting in the way of hobbies such as blogging and video games. Even though I've been visiting the site regularly to view news, videos, etc., I haven't been actively posting in the last couple months, but that will certainly be changing; I really miss interacting with that niche in the community. I definitely can't promise I'll be posting two to three hundred times a day like I was a few years ago - those days are gone and probably never coming back. My main focus now is pursuing my undergraduate degree, and unlike in those early days of high school, I actually have to put forth an effort to achieve high marks, making it impossible to post in such volume. I understand that many here may have lost interest in my blog due to a lack of updates, and thus I don't believe initially I'll be getting much feedback, but hopefully with time I can pique your interest once again. Though I neglected to make a blog last month, February 5th was my fifth anniversary on Gamespot! As cliche as it may sound, I can't believe it's been that long. To be honest, I don't even want to know how much time I've spent collectively on the site in the last five years - over 50,000 posts, at a maximum of two posts per minute (which certainly almost never happened), plus all the time I've spent lurking, watching videos, etc... the math is pretty staggering. I'll leave you to figure that out on your own. Here's to another five? [/size]
[size=11]The only game I've really put a significant amount of time into since I went AWOL from my blog last summer (other than a stint to 85 in World of Warcraft in the fall) has been Call of Duty: Black Ops. I've enjoyed playing multiplayer in the Call of Duty series since Call of Duty 4, and have gotten pretty good at the games over the past three or so years. Because I've been a part of the expansive Call of Duty community on YouTube for awhile now, I believe I can use what's brought me success in the games to help others improve their game as well; thus, I bought a Hauppauge HD PVR video recorder to record my gameplay and commentate it to be put on YouTube. I've only done one commentary (link here, please check it out!), but when make more, they'll be posted on my YouTube channel here. I don't really expect to get a ton of subscribers due to the large number of already popular commentators on the site, but I think it will be a fun hobby for me that I can develop over time. With the Hauppauge HD PVR, I'll also be able to upload some high-quality gameplay to Gamespot - not only Call of Duty, but whatever else might be interesting, so stay tuned for that. Many thanks for checking out my blog, and I look forward to hopefully reconnecting with some of you on the site in the upcoming months![/size]

The Inconceivable Nature of Nature
by msudude211 on Comments
[size=11]Here I go again, not blogging and all. How long has it been, three months? Wow, I certainly sound like a broken record. Anyway, my lack of blogging has nothing to do with an absence of things to write about. In fact, I have a ton to update you guys on - if you still care to read about it! First on the agenda is the obligatory, boring stuff: Gamespot stats. I hit 50,000 posts sometime in May. Since then I've slowed down (a lot) in the posting category, but you can still find me hanging around OT pretty often. I also gained a few levels and will be reaching another one soon (level 47, Jaquio). In the emblems department, I'm now at 76 with the recent influx of E3 emblems. To round out the Gamespot side of things is my new theme. I actually took the sunset picture in my backyard a couple weeks back. Made sure to visit my full profile here to see the whole thing, blog header included. Now that the boring stuff is out of the way I figure we can move onto games. I played and beat Red Dead Redemption in the time since I wrote my last blog. Overall, it's a very good game with steller visuals and an engaging and interesting story. The only real fault with Red Dead, in my opinion, is that the game didn't do a very good job with the in-game currency. After you buy a few key upgrades such as a horse and a select few guns, there's really nothing to do with all that money you've collected. This becomes a pain when money is one of the main rewards for doing optional sidequests. Hopefully I'll get around to writing a Red Dead review, but until then, just know that it's a great game that you can easily get 50+ hours of playtime with.[/size]
[size=11]On a more personal note, I graduated high school (sixth in my cIass) and subsequently started summer. Now I'm starting to get prepared for college life as a biology pre-med major at Michigan State University... fun stuff. I went to orientation last week and got my schedule as well as my dorm assignment. In preparation for next year I got a new laptop, which is a very nice 13" Macbook Pro (2.66 GHz processor). Since then I've just been hanging out with friends and following the World Cup. Since the United States is out and my family descends from Germany, it should be pretty obvious who I'm pulling for. Go Deutschland! To end things, I want to get your opinion on my blogs. Hopefully I can get some good feedback so I can improve them not only for you guys to read, but also, for me to write. Are my blogs too verbose? Would you rather have more frequent but shorter updates? Does it need more Megan Fox (see blog image) or "teh lulz" or... anything? Please let me know![/size]

[size=11]I'm such a bad procrastinator. I think I've had the "Post a Blog Entry" page open in a separate tab for the last three or four weeks. But alas, here I am. And now I have writer's block... damn. Uh, well, since I last blogged, I leveled up (Violence Fight), gained a bunch of emblems, including the Top 100 Reviewer emblem (I'm now at 63), and also, played a bunch of new games - more on that later. But school's been going good, still super busy, but at least I'll be done in a little over a month. I should even be exempt from most of my exams, so I'll probably be unofficially done in a little under a month. Other than school, the new games, and miscellaneous things such as spending time with friends and family, I've been playing more Modern Warfare 2... I know you're really surprised. Play time is just past ten days, though Raptr says I'm almost at 15. Regardless, I've been playing a lot. I bought the Stimulus Package and am almost at the fifth prestige thanks to last weekend's Double XP. In case you're interested in stats (doubtful), I'm right around 40,000 kills with a 2.55 kill/death ratio[/size].
[size=11]Now, back to those games. I bought Bad Company 2 a couple weeks ago, but haven't been able to play it. For some reason, my only functioning controller won't work with the game. It works fine on everything else, but when I try to use it on Bad Company 2, I can't shoot, aim down my sights, or sprint. I really don't think I'll be buying another controller just to play this game, so until it gets fixed, it looks like it will join Assassin's Creed 2 on my shelf of games that I still need to play. The second game I purchased was Metro 2033. I saw the reviews, and seeing as I'm a big sucker when it comes to atmospheric games, I had to have it. Unfortunately, the game's really rough. The story line serves only to confuse you, the shooting feels very weak, and my biggest complaint: the game lacks any kind of system to help the player out. It took me almost the whole game to figure out the currency system, and the game fails to give you any stats on weapons, so it's a crapshoot on whether you just wasted your hard-earned military-grade bullets (the game's currency) on a gun that's inferior to the one you traded in.
I could go on about the other games I bought/played (Heart Gold, BioShock 2, etc.), but I know how everyone hates long blogs, and this one is already pushing it. Happy spring everyone - take care![/size]
New Emblem, Level, and Review
by msudude211 on Comments
[size=11]It might look like I haven't been around much, but that really isn't true. I'm still here, but just haven't really had the motivation to blog or comment on everyone else's blogs... most of the time it's because I'm just too lazy. Or in this week's case, I was simply playing Mass Effect 2. And it doesn't help that I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, and I have this inane need to make every blog specially formatted and grammatically correct - nothing can ever be casual. It makes blog writing a bit of a chore. Anyway, point being, I'm still here every day, just not for hours and hours like I was at the beginning of last year.
To start things off, I reached level 43 a couple days ago as well as receiving the Best of 2009 emblem, putting my total at 54. As you might have noticed, I decided to make my font size a bit bigger - hopefully now things will be a bit easier to read[/size].
[size=11]As mentioned before, I purchased (and beat) Mass Effect 2 this week. And wow, what a game. I'll spare you all the details, because I have a review started that I hope to finish today (EDIT - finished), but even if you have a fleeting interest in role-playing games or third-person shooters, you need to pick this game up. The graphics... amazing. The characters... amazing. The story... pretty damn good. Don't believe me? Check out the critic's aggregate score - a 9.6, second on the 360 only to Grand Theft Auto IV. I'll quote from Kevin VanOrd's review: "Mass Effect 2 is the kind of game that you return to, not just because it's fun to play multiple times, but also because its universe is a place you wish you could call home." I also wanted to mention that starting mid-February, I'll be gone for a week or so on my yearly mid-winter break vacation. This year, we're going back to Hawaii, so it should be a great trip. I mean, who doesn't love Hawaii? [/size]
Early Winter Update
by msudude211 on Comments
So, you're probably wondering where I've been for the past couple of months. Well, you can blame school for that - it's been keeping me extremely busy. Actually, right now I'm taking a much-needed break from studying to write this. Seems like if I'm not having a test on oxidative phosphorylation in AP Biology, I have a test on differentiation in calculus, or a test on the War of Austrian Succession in AP European history, or a test on les verbes à deux racines in French, or a literary analysis of Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron in composition... I'm pretty sure you get the point - it's crazy.[/size]
[size=11]I guess I should get used to it though, as I got accepted into Michigan State's Honors College, which is pretty prestigious; you needed to be in the top 5% of your graduating cIass, have above a 3.9 GPA, and above a 31 on the ACT. It's good news, but it means I definitely won't be "skating by" in college. So, in the free time that I've had, I've been playing a bit of Modern Warfare 2. Right now I'm level 54 on the first prestige, with slightly over 13,000 kills and a 2.42 kills per death ratio. A couple days ago, I also reached level 42 on the site - I'm now a "Karnov." Today, I also learned that in early 2010, Gamespot will be entering a partnership with Raptr. I think that's pretty cool, considering I've been a member of the site for awhile, and I like how it can track all the games I play and achievements I earn. What do you guys think[/size]?
Fall Update
by msudude211 on Comments
Long time no see Gamespot. Hope everyone is having a pretty good fall. Things have been decent here - I just haven't had the motivation to post or otherwise spend much time on the site... you can partially thank Lost and Borderlands for that. For all those who commented and said that Lost was great in my last blog, you were definitely right. Sure, Jericho was good, but Lost is better. I watched all five seasons of the show in less than a couple of weeks thanks to the wonders of Netflix. Needless to say, I can't wait until the show wraps up with season six in 2010.
Other than Lost, I picked up Borderlands on the 20th, and finished it today, the 25th. It was a decent game, but nothing more than filler until Modern Warfare 2 comes out. The gameplay was good, and so was the game's hybrid graphics styIe. The paper-thin story and terrible ending, however, were not. I'll be writing a review soon (hopefully), but my recommendation is to rent this one first.School is still going okay - a little less busy, too. I finally sent in all my college applications and got accepted to the college of my choice - Michigan State University. I'll also (presumably) be attending the Honors College to study pre-med. And with that said, Lost fans, I'll leave you with this.

Redesigned Camry, Sonata debut as competition heats up - 0 Comments
The battle for buyers of family sedans — already the most competitive U.S. auto segment — will heat up this fall when Toyota and Hyundai launch dramatically restyled versions of their respective offerings, the Camry and the Sonata.
A decade ago, the default choices in this biggest slice of the auto market were the Camry and Honda's Accord, but the competition has grown fierce in the past five years. Automakers can't afford a misstep with a new model, and they can't fall behind with a dated model.

Overclocking in SLI with 8800's
I was just wondering how to overclock both cards in SLI.
Vista X64 Ultimate
SLI 8800gts 640 mb
4 gigs of pc 8500
Intel Q6600 at 3.0 ghz
Asus Striker Extreme
3dmark06 13457
Is this a decent score in SLI. I have read soem people are scoring 10K + on a single card.
Could I flash my BIOS on each card one by one.
With Riva Tuner 2.5
Core 621
Shader 1524
Mem 900(1800)
What could I use to determine my best cl**** speeds?
Re: Overclocking in SLI with 8800's
i think the bottleneck is on your cpu and not gpu, try to overclock your cpu more(eg.3.6G), u should see a much better result^^

Editorial Staff • West End • 28 Sep 2007
In 1960, Orson Welles directed Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright (Maggie Smith in the West End transfer) in this metaphorical parable about the inhabitants of a provincial French town converting en masse to "rhinoceritis"; they change into rhinos with only Berenger – like some barmy Ibsenite loner – refusing to join in.
Martin Crimp's new translation signals a test case for lightness of touch in the sombre context of Royal Court social realism and launches a new ensemble to play Ionesco in tandem with Max Frisch's The Arsonists (another early Court success, better known as The Fire Raisers).
Much of Cooke's production on a splintering orange box set by Anthony Ward is highly enjoyable. The traditional rumbling of the Circle Line trains under Sloane Square (a distraction an infuriated Harold Pinter once wanted forcibly obliterated when directing a play there) is augmented by the gathering storm of galloping rhinos.
Berenger (Benedict Cumberbatch) is nursing a hangover and fielding the fussy disapproval of his friend Jean (Jasper Britton). Jean himself goes out on a bender that night and, the next morning, is paying the price. The second act transformation of Jean is the brilliant highlight of the show; as Britton whinnies and groans, develops a bump on his forehead, charges naked around the stage and finally joins the bestial herd.
This dispenses with the idea that alcoholism might be a shield against conformism. Ionesco's point is less precise. The unstoppable movement of rhinos is a sign of uniformity. It was once seen to be a stand against fascism; now, it could equally be against Marxism or religious fundamentalism. This makes nonsense, however, of Berenger's last ditch desire to change his skin and grow a protuberant nose.
Cooke's production lacks the sort of wildness that would renew the theatricality of the piece; it's all a little too English and polite, and the rhino masks are too literal and pantomimic. The third act scenes between Berenger and the loyal Daisy (Zawe Ashton) are the weakest part of Crimp's script and the most tentatively played.
Cumberbatch is a brilliant actor, but he's far too modest in this knockout role. The company includes fine contributions from Lloyd Hutchinson as an officious pen-pusher in a black beret, Paul Chahidi as a comic rationalist and Jacqueline Defferary as the hysterical housewife whose trampled pussy cat is the first sign of the rhino revolution.

My "Slightly Past Mid-Life Crisis" Gold Rush Tour 2009
The Spell of the Yukon
~ Robert Service ~
I wanted the gold, and I sought it;
I scrabbled and mucked like a slave.
Was it famine or scurvy, I fought it;
I hurled my youth into a grave.
I wanted the gold, and I got it --
Came out with a fortune last fall, --
Yet somehow life's not what I thought it,
And somehow the gold isn't all.....
As I near 50 years of age, I often look back on my life so far. I contemplate the choices and decisions I've made, my failures and accomplishments, dreams and goals. The past while I have not been a happy person. Something is missing. I have never felt such discontent and restlessness. Why? I have a wonderful wife and children whom love me very much. I have a nice home. I have a good job that pays pretty well. I have my health. But still, Im not content. I am tired of the daily routine. I find that I have fallen into a rut of repetitious existence. My spirit is dieing a bit more every day. There is much more to living than this.
Since getting involved in motorcycling a number of years ago (after my first life crisis), I've come to enjoy long distance touring; every trip taking me farther and farther off the beaten track. Riding my motorcycle always took my mind off life's problems and the daily grind. One cold winter's night while "surfing the net" searching for interesting routes and roads for future trips, I came across a unique website, "Adventure Rider". I was inspired. Reading the well documented ride reports of two wheeled adventurers traveling through far off lands got me dreaming. What a better way to warm my soul and put some adventure back into my life than to do a long distance, epic solo trip to a place far away on a motorcycle! Time to "go walkabout".....
I started doing some preliminary planning for this trip back in 2007. Then I owned a Honda VTX1800 cruiser that I felt no longer was the right bike for me. I needed something that was more nimble in the twisties and could perform reasonably on rough gravel roads. In 2008 I traded my VTX for a Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom. I spent that summer outfitting and farkling the bike to transform it into a machine that I was confident could take me across the continent and back, not always on the easiest path. In addition, I upgraded all my camping gear. I did a couple of trial trips down through the
My 2009 trip plan was to ride across the
Well its hard for me to believe but after 2 years of dreaming, planning, spending and preparing, my epic cross continent motorcycle trip to the Arctic & Alaska is now just a memory. I figure after being home for a week, I best get this RR started. What an awe inspiring adventure it truly was. Any expectations I had for this trip were greatly exceeded! I know there have been many fantastic ride reports, especially about travels to

Day 1 – June 12
Home >
Today's mileage: 645.4 km, Trip to date: 645.4 km
I was up pretty early today, didn't really sleep all that soundly. I had lots on my mind. I kind of felt like a kid at Christmas. I felt both excited and nervous at the same time. I've done many motorcycle trips over the years but nothing close to the magnitude of what I was about to embark upon. My wife and I had spent some quality personal time together the night before as my waiting bike had been packed and re-packed for over a week now!
While my supportive wife watched on in the drive, I geared up, warmed up the bike, did a final check over and then said farewell, I love you, I'll be back soon. I was off! The dream starts! I couldn't help feel an up-welling of emotion at that moment. That same emotion would visit me on numerous occasions throughout this trip.
Today's ride wasn't anything special. It was mostly on 400 series/interstate highways to get to the far side of
I had done this on a previous trip to the west and it sure beats going down through the busy
It was still pretty early and I had about 3 hours to kill so I hung out at the Ludington beach. While I was sitting on a park bench enjoying the sunshine and "scenery", I hear a motorcycle pull in behind me. It's a lady, Corinne, riding a Volusia towing a homemade uni-wheel trailer packed to the gunwales with gear. She was quite the character. She was out for a solo camping weekend along
The ferry ride across the lake although quite calm, was windy and cold. I didn't spend much time out on deck. The ship wasn't very full like the last trip I remember. Must be because it was a Friday and early in the season. It was pretty well stocked however with locally brewed libations! I had booked a motel room on the other side because I did not want to set up camp or hunt for accommodations at .

It's kind of funny….. everyone I speak to along the way so far look at me in an odd way when they hear of my destination,
I was up pretty early today. It was starting to rain lightly as I packed up camp. I took the time to make coffee and some instant oatmeal. It had rained pretty hard to the west of me during the night. I think the entire

My Gadgets
Just a quick note about some of the gadgets I equipped myself with for this trip....
In addition to my Canon camera I set up a helmet video camera system on my bike. I used the VIO POV 1.5 helmet camera fastened to various locations on the bike using RAM ball mounts and clamps. I will be sure to post up some of this video as I get round to editing it. I have hours and hours of footage from every day of my trip!
I have been using a Garmin GPS map 276c GPS for a number of years. I saved the the track data daily to my computer so I wouldn't loose tracks points and elevation data.
I used this software to geo tag my pictures with the GPS track data >
I have a Bag Connections City Bag tankbag that is electrified. Within it I had my POV camera recorder powered by the motorcycle electrical system, a Mixit II amplifier that I had both my GPS and iPOd plugged into.
I carried a Dell Mini 9, and a Transcend 320gb hard drive to back up all my pictures and video to. I did manage to get wifi every couple of days so it allowed be to upload photos to this site as well as stay in touch with family >
I powered my Givi topbox and equipped it with a small full wave inverter to keep my computer and various other reachable battery items charged up.
For my family's peace of mind, I carried a SPOT messenger that worked flawlessly, at least for sending OK messages! I never did have to test it's "help" or "911" capabilities! I used this site so friends and family could see my daily progress >
Stay tuned for more....

Day 4

Day 4 June 15
Todays mileage: 528.8 km, Trip to date: 2656.1 km
I left Gordon this morning under brilliant skies. Today was going to be a great day. Theres nothing that lifts the motorcycle travelers spirit like early morning sunshine! Today I would eventually start to head north-west and revisit the Black Hills of South Dakota. I had been out here a few years back and really enjoyed the riding in the area. I took in a few of my favourite roads: Custer SP Wildlife Loop, Iron Mountain Rd up to Mt Rushmore, Norris Peak Rd, Nemo Rd, and Spearfish Canyon to name a few.
I did bump into another ADV Rider from
As I was leaving
I unpacked and went out in search of supplies (beer). It just so happens that the KOA store had what I was after. The nice lady working there also invited me to a nightly showing of Close Encounters of the Third Kind to be shown on the patio right bellow the Devils Tower itself no shit! That was of course if it didnt rain. I went back to my kabin, cooked up a pot of soup, drank my beers, downloaded my photographs, updated the photo site, had a fine KOA shower, and retired to my kabin where I promptly fell asleep dreaming of alien abduction and curvy roads strewn with big beastly bison .

~ Alice Meynell
Devil's Tower,
Today's mileage: 686.6 km, Trip to date: 3342.7 km
As a child, mountains, tall snow capped mountains captured my imagination. They would always be the subject matter of my drawings and paintings. I dreamed of traveling through them as the early settlers, miners and hunters did. Their rugged majestic beauty was a constant lure. I had only ever seen them in pictures and film. As a motorcyclist, I have traveled the eastern mountains; the
Today would be a special day. Today would be one of the most exhilarating motorcycle experiences of my life. I left the Devil's Tower in light rain. I was glad I got the "Kabin" after all. Packing up a wet tent and gear can be a pain. Eventually the weather would clear with only isolated showers here and there. Rather than take 2 lane secondary highways, which is usually my preference, I decided to take I-90 up as far as
I wasn't on I-90 long when I spotted another motorcycle ahead in the distance. I hadn't seen nor talked to any other riders headed in the same direction for days so I picked up the pace to catch up to him. Eventually I closed the distance between us. You got to love the western speed limits! The other rider saw me in his mirrors and pulled aside and gestured for me to move up. I really couldn't communicate with him at 130 km/hr so we just waved to one another and I tucked in behind him. We traveled as far as
One of the neatest memories of that day was when the mountains first came into view, I will never forget. Words cannot adequately describe my feelings at that moment. I had traveled for days on the relatively flat plains. We came over a slight rise and off in the distance were snow capped mountains and they were growing larger by the kilometer! There they were, the mountains of my childhood dreams! What a heart warming sight that truly was. I know Mike was taking it all in as well as he slowed down his pace and was busy snapping pictures with his camera.
What can I say about Chief Joseph and Beartooth other than breathtaking! I have never experienced anything quite like this on a motorcycle. Riding a motorcycle up to 10,000 ft surrounded by vast, majestic scenery, passing through snow banks as high as a house, twisting switch backs that you dare not take your eyes from…… incredible!

Mike and I would eventually share a room at the Alpine Lodge in Red Lodge. I had planned on staying here and Mike didn't feel like setting up camp with the dodgy weather forecast being what it was. I think the localized downpour as Mike came into town might have been a motivating factor too! I highly recommend this establishment. The proprietors do cater to motorcycle travelers and heck, breakfast is included!
Once we got settled and unpacked into our room, picked up some supplies (beers), Mike and I headed downtown to get a bite to eat. We found a nice pub (that I wish I could remember the name of). After a good meal and plenty of conversation about the day's events, we headed back to our bikes parked on the street. I saw a fellow really giving my V-Strom a visual inventory! It turns out this is Les, who lives in Red Lodge and owns a V-Strom as well. We all stood there on the street chatting motorcycles for some time until I suggested that we head back to the Alpine for some cold beer waiting in the fridge. We carried on our BS'ing until late into the evening. What an awesome day this was. Mike, thank you for sharing it with me!

Rod Streater showed the rest of the NFL in his exhibition debut what the Oakland Raiders have been seeing ever since they signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Temple in May. Streater caught six passes for 66 yards against the Dallas Cowboys and was one of the few offensive standouts in a 3-0 loss for the Raiders (tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32) in the first game under new coach Dennis Allen. It was an impressive performance from a player who had only 19 catches as a senior in college and was passed over by all 32 teams in the NFL draft.

LA doesn't close door on Manny
Updated: February 3, 2009, 10:29 PM ETBy Jayson Stark | ESPN.com
Two offers and two rejections later, the Dodgers still want to bring back Manny Ramirez. But they're not prepared to wait indefinitely."We still have interest in signing Manny," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti told ESPN.com on Tuesday, in the wake of Ramirez giving a thumbs down to the one-year, $25 million offer the team made Monday. "Right now we don't have a deadline," Colletti went on, "but that doesn't mean we're not going to have a deadline. These situations can change ...

Arizona Cardinals
Dan Reeves: Tom Moore hire a 'great move' by Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals got a good one with assistant head coach/offense Tom Moore.
Hired to be a part of head coach Bruce Arians' staff, the 74-year-old Moore brings an accomplished resum� to the team, and by all accounts the Cardinals are in for a real treat.
"I played against Tom, Tom's a great coach that's been successful everywhere he's been," NFL analyst and former coach Dan Reeves told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Monday. "He came from the Vince Lombardi school of starting out as a football player, and Tom is very bright; coached one of the better quarterbacks in the league for many, many years, and Peyton Manning will tell you that Tom's a big part of his success.
"That's a great move by Bruce."
Reeves went on to say he believes "nobody did a better job than Bruce Arians" as a coach last year, adding he thinks the Coach of the Year award should have gone to the man who guided the Colts to a 9-3 record while Chuck Pagano was battling leukemia.
"Bruce Arians could have very easily won that award."

What's so good?
By Jason Grishkoff | Mar 15, 2012 | Total plays: 30,572
Thankfully, there's Surfer Blood, back with their first single in a while (erm, that is, since frontman John Paul Pitts got arrested... awkward), "Weird Shapes." It's got an infectious rhythm and a slightly discordant if catchy intro series of strumming guitar chords, offset by the synthy plink of a keyboard. Their sound harkens back to the indie rock of the early-to-mid-aughts, before everyone had beards, wore plaid, and sang in beautiful, beautiful harmony.
The vocals both add to this pop-rock good time sound and set the track apart: Pitts' somewhat muted, fluid vocals have a little bit of Morrissey in them, and suggestions of violence in the lyrics contrast the upbeat rhythms. "Weird Shapes" isn't reinventing the wheel here, but this simple contrast of sounds and styles makes for a track that's inherently listenable and interesting.
Stay tuned for more -- their album Python is set to be released this summer.

Church of St Blaise : Michelin's recommendations
Built in 1715, this Baroque church, devoted to the town's patron saint and protector, is in striking contrast with the sobriety of Placa. Its impressive steps, ornate façade and dome hide a compact (short nave) but warm interior: the altar is a riot of carvings around the Gothic statue of St Blaise in gilded silver (15C). The profusion of ribbons, festoons and bright-red embroidered altar linen cannot be missed.

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Put the gammon in a large pan and cover with cola. Add the carrot, onion, celery, cinnamon stick, peppercorns and bay leaf. Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for around 2 1/2 hrs, topping up with boiling water if necessary to keep the gammon fully covered.
- Carefully pour the liquid away, then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Lift the ham into a roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern.
- Mix the glaze ingredients in a jug. Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 30 mins, baste half way through. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 mins, then spoon more glaze over the top. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.

Comments, questions and tips
Did this with a smoked gammon joint so I boiled it in plain water first, then re-boiled it with the coke and vegetables. I used honey instead of maple syrup and a pinch of ground cloves added to the tasty glaze (although I didn't cool the ham before glazing so most of it slid off - but it was still lovely).
Made this yesterday, it was delicious - no chance of any leftovers for sandwiches today! However be warned......we ate this as a family meal, my three year old went to bed as usual then woke unusually at around midnight for no known reason and was absolutely buzzing for three hours talking and singing....I can only put this down to the caffeine/sugar that was absorbed in the meat cooking in the coke. I feel a bit daft that I didn't consider this in advance but I definitely won't be sharing it with her next time I make it! Nightmare!
I had a 1.25 kg joint and boiled it for 1.5 hours. Then in the oven for the prescribed time (15 min + 30 min). It was lovely! More popular than the turkey on Christmas day. Went well with the homemade cranberry sauce and apple chutney (see "Slow-roast pork rolls with apple chilli chutney" on this site).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Turf Welcome Break We were on a road trip to take our youngest (and last) son off to his Freshman year in college. This was our stop-over for the trip from Kansas City to South Carolina. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty (although my wife thought it was more like the Kardashians). Whatever we needed was responded to with no problem. From the desk staff to the doorman to the maid service, it was by far our best experience at a Starwood property and I stay in these properties weekly for business. Thanks to all and I only regret I don't have any names to send a shout-out specifically, August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by WLR61 Housekeeping staff average at best. The staff and facilities were good for our event, but our room was not clean. There was a big hair and lint ball that was in front of the closet doors when we arrived and I left it there to see if the housekeeping staff removed it. It was there three days later when we departed. It is not like it was small either, at least three inches in diameter. The linens also had a funky smell. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by henry9299 Beautiful hotel, good features too! We had to wait until 3:30 to gain access to our room. The front desk person instructed us to use the stairs to the right of the front desk to get to our room. This was difficult as I had to lift my heavy bag up each step. Later we discovered if we had been sent the correct way we could use a ramp and come closer to our room as well. The pool and all other factors of this hotel were great! August 17, 2014

The hotel is beautiful and well-maintained. The pool seemed closed early. I imagine this is because it is surrounded by rooms. The rainbow trout entree from room service was the best I've ever had. My two complaints are that the down comforter must have been washed and not dried properly so it was full of hard lumps. I had to remove it from the bed in order to sleep. Luckily, there was another comforter on top of it. The other issue was that the bed was too firm. I did not tell the staff about the comforter because it was late and I could just remove it. The comforter on the other bed did not have the same issue. I do think housekeeping should have noticed the poor quality of the comforter. It was very noticeable. August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MM617 Conveinient and Friendly We checked in after midnight due to flight delays and missed connections. It was so nice to be greeted by someone who was pleased to see us. Again at check out, a very friendly front desk staff. Next time I truly look forward to staying longer. August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BeckyD Sheraton Music I thought the hotel was very nice, the resort was very crowded and the waitress and the pool could of used some help since the resort was at full compacity. August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by tdirector Staff was friendly and very responsive I made an error and didn't hang up my towel after signing up for no maid service .. the staff was very prompt in getting me another one so I made my meeting on schedule. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JAWsdw beautiful hotel, friendly, helpful staff, good value This was a beautiful hotel with extremely friendly, helpful staff. The room was very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable bed and bedding. I also used the Health Club and it was well equipped, brightly lit and comfortabel temperature-important when you are working out. The room rate was a great value and we will definitely stay there again. August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shernie Usually love it but..... Always stay here. Bar was under recarpeting so not as enjoyable. Need many more chairs at pool. people were saving chairs and not using them. It was uncomfortable so I left pool side. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Debra51 Nice place Beautiful hotel, convenient to highways to get to downtown Nashville. Beautiful room, beautiful pool area, beautiful lobby. The reception staff could have been more helpful. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TC48 accomidating The room was clean and comfortable. They let us bring our dog (which we saw many while we were there). I did not hear any other dogs on my entire stay. I did hear some late night (3:30am) guests laughing and stumbling about down the hall. I would imagine that this is a rare occurrence. I also was the chair person for an organization meeting in one of their meeting rooms (The Belmont room). Staff was quick to fix the only problem that we had and the room was set up very nicely. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OhMiss Great night's sleep. Gracious staff, great pillows and bed, food is always good. Just found out there is downtown shuttle available for a nominal fee. Great idea! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NovaCat Fantastic The staff was exceptional taking every extra step to ensure our visit was enjoyed to the fullest. Hotel recognized SPG status and upgrade was completed prior to arrival. The facilities were great and staff clicked on every level making our visit an excellent visit. Hotel was completely full, but performance did not suffer. Stay HERE! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oicu812 Awesome As always Sheraton provided a beautiful comfortable facility with an excellent staff that was friendly and helpful!!! August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob2771 This hotel is out of the ordinary This hotel is set off the beaten path into its own little world. Close to the airport, but surprisingly not annoying. Very nice pool area with a large adjoining patio area that has ample seating & tables & trees/shrubs. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The foyer area is large and nicely decorated. the food is good. The Club Lounge is OK - I've seen better, and not as good. I have stayed at over 30 SPG properties. As an SPG Platinum member, this is one of my favorite hotels. A relaxing & spacious & nicely decorated hotel. August 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jak72 Beautiful hotel and setting Beautiful hotel. Free parking was great. Rooms were very clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. The courtyard was beautiful. If wifi was free and a continental breakfast was included, I'd give it a 5. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Don35 USSCO BOOTCAMP Excellent hotel and convention center area. close to airport and other attractions. July 31, 2014

Backing Up Your Course
To move your course from one woodle server to another, you will first need to create a backup of the
existing course.
1. Navigate to the course you would like to use material from. Courses taught in the 2007-08 through the 2010-11school years will be available at https://woodle-0711.wooster.edu, courses taught in the 2011-12 school year will be available at https://woodle-1112.wooster.edu, and courses taught in the 2012-13 school year will be available at https://woodle-1213.wooster.edu
2. In the administration block (usually found in the left-hand column) select BACKUP.
3. Select the information that you would like to include in your course backup:
- Mark which modules and/or activities you would like to keep in your backup file. My recommendation is to mark all activities so that you don't miss anything---you can always delete activities after you have transferred the course.
- Mark the user data, if any, that you would like to include. If you are just wanting a freshcopy of your course on the new server, you probably won't want to include any user data. However, if you have added actual posts to your forums as starters for student discussion, you may wish to include the user data from the discussion forums.
- For most courses, select No for Metacourse. Only select Yes if you have set up this course as a Metacourse; if you're not sure, then your course is probably not a metacourse.
- For Users, select None---unless you have users in your existing course that you wish to move to your new server.
- If you are not taking user data, then I would select No for Logs and User Files as well.
- Do select Yes for Course files so that your course backup will have any documents, images, audio, and other files you have included in your course
- At the bottom of the screen, click Continue.
4. The next screen details information related to your backup. At the top of the screen, the name of the backup file is displayed. You can change the file name, but you'll notice that the file name does include useful information about the time and date that the backup file was created---useful if you create additional backups in the future. At the bottom of the screen, click Continue.
5. The next screen displays information about the backup process. At the bottom of the screen, watch for the phrase Backup completed successfully and then click Continue.
6. Now you will be taken to the backupdata folder in your woodle course files; here you should see the backup file you've just created. To move your course to the new server, you will have to download the backup file to your computer so that you can then upload it to your new woodle site. To download the backup file, you can right-click (or Ctrl-click on Mac) on the name of the backup file and then select Save Link As (or Save Target As on Internet Explorer). Save the backup file so that you can find it to upload to your new woodle site. :)
Restoring Your Course
After you have created the backup file for your course, you are ready to transfer it to the new server and restore it.
1. Log in to your new woodle site (http://woodle.wooster.edu). On your new woodle site, we are looking for a place to upload and restore your course backup file.
a) If you have an existing course on your new woodle site, you can use the Restore option there for the next step.
b) If you do not have a course and do not have course creator privileges, then you will need to work with your woodle administrator to upload and restore the course.
2. Once you are in your course on your new site, you are ready to upload the course backup file and restore it. To begin this process, click on Restore in the Administration block of your course; this step will take you to the backupdata folder of your course.
3. Next, click on the Upload a file button so that you can upload the backup file from the course you are attempting to transfer. Use the Browse button to locate and select the backup file you saved to your computer. Once the file has been identified, click Upload this file.
4. After the file has finished uploading, then you will be returned to the backupdata folder, where you should now see the backup file you've just uploaded. To the right of the file, you will see a link to Restore; click that link to begin the restoration process.
Note: If the file didn't upload successfully, check the size of the file to make sure that it doesn't exceed the limit (100 mb). If the file does exceed the limit, talk with your instructional technology liaison about alternatives.
5. As the restore process begins, you will be asked to confirm that you want to continue. Click Yes.
6. The next screen provides information about the data included in the backup file. At the bottom of the screen, click Continue.
7. At the top of the next screen, you will identify where you would like this course to be restored. If the course you are working in was merely a shell to restore your course, then you can select Existing course, deleting it first. If you would like to keep what you have in the current course, but add the contents of the backup course to it, then select Existing course, adding data to it. On the remainder of the screen, you have the option to select which modules or activities you would like to restore. If your goal is to transfer the course exactly as it existed on the previous server, then you will want to leave all of these options checked.
At the bottom of the screen, click Continue.
8. On the next screen, complete the process by clicking Restore this course now! The next screen will detail the process. At the bottom of the screen, click Continue and you will arrive in your newly transferred course!

BALTIMORE - OCTOBER 11: Ray Lewis #52 of the Baltimore Ravens meditates on the bench before the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium on October 11, 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Bengals defeated the Ravens 17-14. (Photo by Larry French/Getty Images)
Whether you like Ray Lewis or not, there is no denying he is one of the greatest middle linebackers to ever play in the NFL. His career numbers and accomplishments speak for themselves. Lewis has been to 13 Pro Bowls and has won two Super Bowls. When the Baltimore Ravens won it all in 2001, he was named Super Bowl MVP. With all that in mind, you would assume there is no way the 17-year veteran was any more nervous than the average player heading into Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers. Former Ravens defensive end Trevor Pryce says that would be a poor assumption. "I think he played with a case of the nerves," Pryce told Jim Rome on Monday. "I think he had the yips. I really do." Pryce, who played four seasons alongside Lewis, said he has never seen anything like that from the future Hall of Famer. He also said he believes the emotions of the game became too much for Lewis to handle. "He had it bad; he didn't look like himself, even his new self," Pryce said. "Forget his old self, that guy's gone, that guy's named Patrick Willis. But even the guy he was last week, he wasn't that guy. He had a case of it bad, badly. It was almost like he was just hoping let's get this over with. "Half of his playoff check should go to Dannell Ellerbe for making that last play on that last fade route. The other half to Greg Roman, the 49ers offensive coordinator." Lewis recorded only four total tackles in the Super Bowl, so it was certainly his least productive game of the postseason from a stats standpoint. That being said, I find it hard to believe that he would have been as nervous as Pryce insists he was. He got beat on a couple of plays, but that's what happens when you're 37 years old playing against guys in their prime. Maybe the whole deer antler spray fiasco rattled him more than we thought. Whatever the case, he's still a two-time Super Bowl champion who gets to go out on top. Audio of Pryce's interview can be heard here. H/T Game On!

We are committed to providing a high quality service. Last financial year we invested £80m in our bus fleet, and ordered 100 low emission hybrid buses.
Oxford Bus Company runs a comprehensive network of local bus services in and around Oxford, and coach services from Oxford to central London, and to Gatwick and Heathrow airports. It runs the popular Park & Ride service, connecting five car parks at the edge of the city to the city centre, and the highly successful BROOKESbus network of services in partnership with Oxford Brookes University. Thames Travel and Carousel fall under the management of Oxford Bus Company.
Partnership is at the heart of company's philosophy. An informal partnership with Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council started in 1973, which has served as a model to other operators and local authorities; it has also been one of the most successful in the UK. Bus patronage has grown hugely in that time, and buses now have a modal share of 50% for journeys into the central area.
Buses play a vital role in maintaining the economic success of Oxford within a sensitive historic setting. Oxford Bus Company's contribution to this has been to provide high quality, frequent services operated by attractive buses at value for money prices. To enhance the experience of passengers, more than 85% of vehicles are fitted with air conditioning or air chill equipment. All vehicles are fitted with GPS positioning equipment which allows us to control our services, and gives customers real-time information at bus stops. A survey conducted by Passenger Focus in 2012 revealed 92% of passengers were 'satisfied' or 'very satisfied' with the Oxford Bus Company, one of the highest passenger satisfaction rates in the UK.
The company has innovated in smartcard technology to make journeys faster, simpler and payment easier. Now around 54% of passengers on local 'city' services pay for their travel in advance.
Oxford Bus has been at the forefront of industry initiatives on the environment. It pioneered the use of particulate traps to improve emissions from diesel engines, and this policy has continued with recent deliveries being to Euro V or the higher EEV standard. An independent study carried out by The TAS Partnership ranks Oxford Bus as having the most environmentally friendly bus fleet in Britain. Its emissions for carbon monoxide, particulate matter, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen were the lowest in the study. In 2011, the company took delivery of seventeen hybrid diesel-electric double deck buses which operate all journeys on the famous and pioneering Oxford Park & Ride system. A target for carbon reduction had been set at 20% against 2008 performance and this has now been achieved. At the beginning of 2014, Oxford implemented a Low Emission Zone (LEZ), requiring all scheduled services with a frequency of hourly or higher to be Euro V compliant.
During 2011, the partnership philosophy was extended to embrace other operators as well as local authorities. A pioneering partnership made possible under the 2008 Local Transport Act has allowed services to be coordinated on four corridors between Oxford Bus and Stagecoach, with the approval of Oxfordshire County Council, and smartcard ticketing has been made inter-available between operators. This has resulted in a reduction of up to 25% in the number of buses in some environmentally sensitive streets in central Oxford, whilst service frequency and capacity has been maintained.
After a successful period of operating the BROOKESbus contract from 2009 – 2014, Oxford Bus Company was awarded the contract for a further 5 years.
About Thames Travel
In 2011, Go-Ahead acquired Thames Travel based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire which was placed under the management of Oxford Bus Company. Thames Travel currently operates around 46 buses in the South Oxfordshire and West Berkshire area. Thames Travel is a strong business with a proud tradition of providing high quality services to the local community and operates a mix of commercial bus services and local bus contracts. It was very successful in the latest tender round let by Oxfordshire County Council and the fleet had grown by nearly 25% by 2012.
About Carousel
In 2012, Go-Ahead acquired the small bus business Carousel based in High Wycombe which was placed under the management of Oxford Bus Company. Carousel currently operates around 40 buses in the Wycombe area and runs services to Heathrow Airport, Uxbridge, Chesham, Watford and Hemel Hempstead. The company mainly operates a mix of commercial bus services and school bus contracts.

5.0 - High priority. This is a position that is a glaring weakness and there is the likelihood that this team cannot compete next year without making a major addition here.
4.0 - Medium Priority. This is an area that is an obvious weakness, but the team isn't quite desperate to make a major move here possibly because they have some young potential. But this is an area that if the team cannot fix via free agency, will definitely use one of their picks in the first three or four rounds to supplement.
3.0 - Upgrade Potential. This is a position that isn't a weakness per se, but there is significant room for an upgrade. If the right player comes along they will certainly snag him, but if they don't fix this position with a major free agent addition or early round pick, then it's not the end of the world.
2.0 - Depth Need. An area where there is a need to add depth. Perhaps there is an aging veteran and they might want to start to look at grooming his heir apparent or replacement. Not likely to be a high priority and a position that more than likely will be address in the middle and late rounds rather than with a top pick.
1.0 - Future Need. This is an area that is not a priority, and doesn't initially appear as a need. But there is some room to develop some depth for perhaps two or more years down the line. This is usually an area that a team will look at in the late rounds if at all.
0.0 - Non-need. This is a position that is a strength of their team, they have a solid starter, capable depth, and/or a young player at the position that they like and want to develop. Very little possibility this area is addressed and would be the equivalent of a wasted draft pick.
Top 7 Needs
Position by Position Breakdown
Quarterback - McCoy will enter the off-season as the starter. Wallace is a free agent, but they should at least bring him back because he performed well in spots this past year as the starter. But they should dump Delhomme. They will probably try and bring in a third young arm late in the draft to develop alongside McCoy as an insurance policy. But it also wouldn't be surprising if they enter the mix for some of the veteran off-season talks in free agency and trades. But McCoy played well enough to think they won't sell out to get one of those veterans. NEED: 2.0
Running Back - Hillis had a breakout season, but he spent quite a bit of time on the trainer's table. And with marginal production from Jerome Harrison, one can expect that the Browns will look for a speed back to complement Hillis and add some much needed depth. Montario Hardesty will be in the mix, but since he's coming off two consecutive ACL tears in the same knee, they aren't going to hold their collective breath. NEED: 2.5
Fullback - Vickers is a solid lead blocker and a nice piece to build around for the future.
Wide Receiver - Massaquoi had some moments enough to think he'll be expected to remain a starter as their top wideout. Chansi Stuckey actually caught more passes but is best suited as a third option off the bench. Cribbs is a versatile complement as well. Robiskie had some moments down the stretch, but the team isn't going to wait for him to develop at this point. They will try to add a go-to threat that can be a dynamic weapon. With their high pick, they will have an opportunity to get one of the premier wideouts in this year's draft. NEED: 5.0
Tight End - Watson came on strong for the year, being a good pickup for them last off-season. Royal is a nice blocker, and Moore is a capable receiver to develop. They might look at adding another late round body that can block and push Royal. NEED: 1.0
Offensive Tackle - Thomas is solid on the left side, regardless of his issues vs. Abraham. The right side is the concern, although they are OK here if Tony Pashos can return. But he's now missed 21 games in the past two seasons so he's not that reliable. John St. Clair is a serviceable stopgap, but they wouldn't have signed Pashos if they were that high on him. So they could definitely be in the market in trying to add a right tackle in the draft to develop as a starter. NEED: 3.0
Offensive Guard - Steinbach is solid, but not great. Lauvao is the guy they want to develop at the other spot, although he didn't do much as a rookie. It's doubtful both Womack and Yates will be back, since both are free agents. Yates is probably the likelier of the two, although he's coming off a biceps injury. So the Browns would be smart to draft another guy in the middle or late rounds. At the last that pickup can be groomed behind Steinbach, but also be in the mix at right guard. NEED: 2.0
Center - Mack is solid and will soon be a Pro Bowler. He's arguably the best in their division. They could try and develop some depth, but they don't need to draft any. NEED: 0.5
Defensive Tackle - Rubin has overtaken Rogers as the man in the middle, and he should be getting an extension very soon. So the major question here is whether they still want to continue to pay Rogers, when he's a rotational player and with the big dropoff in production he's had each year. If that is the case, then they will definitely add another nose tackle for depth, but they can probably get that player in free agency or using a late round pick. NEED: 2.0
Defensive End - Robaire Smith is a free agent and likely done in Cleveland. That will leave a vacancy at that position with Derreck Robinson and Brian Schaefering being better options off the bench than being counted upon to be starters. This need is even higher since Kenyon Coleman is entering the final year of his contract, so don't be surprised if the Browns use two picks on this position. But they could also opt to draft a guy to groom behind Coleman, and sign Smith's replacement. NEED: 4.0
Linebacker - D'Qwell Jackson might not be back since he missed the year with a chest injury and is a free agent. They won't bend over backwards to bring him back since Scott Fujita and Chris Gocong are a capable pair inside. But if they lose Jackson, expect them to draft someone to develop down the road inside. Their primary need may be on the outside. Marcus Benard is a productive pass rusher (7.5 sacks) and might replace Matt Roth who is a free agent that probably could find greener pastures outside Cleveland. If so, they will definitely be in the market to add another pass rusher on the outside. NEED: 3.5
Cornerback - They will have to make a decision whether to bring back Eric Wright, who is a free agent. He's worth keeping, but with the emergence of Joe Haden, he's not worth them bending over backwards to keep him. But Sheldon Brown isn't getting any younger, and would be smart not to have to rely on him. So the Browns could be in the market for another corner, although they would probably prefer to add a veteran with some years left rather than using another high pick here. NEED: 2.0
Safety - Few were high on Elam going into the year, but he and rookie T.J. Ward had solid seasons. Elam is a free agent, but they should be able to bring him back. Their issue here is going to be depth, something they might want to prefer to address via free agency than the draft. NEED: 2.0
Kicker - Dawson remains his usual consistent self, but he'll be a free agent and turning 36 later this month. They should bring him back, but they might start looking at young options to push him. NEED: 1.0
Punter - Hodges has been a journeyman since being drafted in 2005, never playing for the same team for two years in a row until now. The Browns rewarded him with a two-year extension, so their need at this position is nil. NEED: 0.0

Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring Is Sprung
Paris-based Mandriva announced the release of the final version of Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring.
Mandriva Spring 2009 includes a host of new functionalities, such as improved and more stable plasmoids, a consolidated windows manager, and the structuring of office by activity. Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring integrates the latest open source innovations, not only in office applications, Internet, and multimedia, but also in the new technologies of virtualization. Specifically, the new release includes major open source applications such as KDE 4.2.2, Gnome 2.26, Firefox 3, and X.org Server 1.6. and supports more than 70 languages.
"The new version of Mandriva Linux, Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring, adapts even better to the requirements of a work station, whatever the level of its user," comments Anne Nicolas-Velu, Mandriva VP of Engineering.
Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring is available in three editions: Powerpack (the commercial edition), One (a Live CD that can also be installed to the system), and Free (an edition that contains only the free open source software).
All Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring editions will be available for download on April 29th, 2009.
