Detroit � Nobody was out of breath yet. They�d barely gotten their legs stretched, to be honest.
But there he went: Adrian Peterson was off and running. And here we go again, right?
That�s what the bulk of the crowd of 62,461 at Ford Field had to be thinking Sunday, breaking into a collective cold sweat as the Lions� retooled defense looked like they�d fooled everyone again, the head coach included.
�We were working all offseason on stopping Adrian Peterson,� Jim Schwartz sarcastically noted after a helter-skelter season-opening win, �and the first play he goes 80.�
Actually, it was only 78 yards for Peterson, the NFL�s reigning MVP, on the Vikings� first play from scrimmage. And it wasn�t just one play: The Lions already had bumbled their way into some opening-day boos with a red-zone flameout and a botched field-goal attempt on their first drive.
Still, this was about as deflating as it gets. One handoff, a couple of blown gaps, one rookie whiff and, man, it smelled like 2012 all over again, didn�t it?
It sure did, but give the Lions credit: They don�t stink anymore. The talent�s there, and Sunday�s 34-24 victory showed something else might be, too, from a defense that managed to shake off that awful start and put the clamps on Peterson and the rest of the Vikings offense, as redundant as that might sound.
Detroit�s defense allowed just one third-down conversion in the first 57� minutes and two for the game. The Lions finished with three sacks, six quarterback hits and seven tackles for loss. And after that first burst, Peterson, the Vikings� All-Pro who rushed for more than 2,000 yards last season, managed just 15 yards on 17 carries the rest of the afternoon � pedestrian numbers for any back, let alone a guy who occasionally answers to Purple Jesus.
�Actually, the first thing we said was, �Next series,� � Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley said, trying to explain the defensive about-face. �That�s gonna happen against A.P. A guy miss-fits here or there, and, you know, he�s gonna hit his head on the goalpost.�
That�s another way of saying Peterson�s going to go the distance, which he certainly will. And he obviously did.
�But we came back to the sideline and we didn�t even look at the card after that,� Fairley said. �Because we knew it was something that we did, and not something that they did.
And what they did after that is what they didn�t do nearly enough of last season.
Keeping their cool
They kept their heads, for the most part, though Ndamukong Suh did negate a DeAndre Levy interception return with an illegal low block and Louis Delmas had Schwartz fuming with a taunting penalty in the second quarter.
They kept getting pressure, hounding Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder all game without much, if any, blitzing. (�They just have a great front four,� Ponder said, �and they got back there.�)
And they kept getting their hands on the football, forcing four turnovers Sunday to make what was Fairley deemed a �big-time statement� against a divisional opponent.
�After we gave up one play � you have to be resilient,� Schwartz said. �Again, that�s a playoff team over there.�
Well, it was a playoff team. I�m not so sure it is anymore. In fact, I�d be surprised if it is. Besides, as Schwartz himself keeps saying, last year is last year.
Take it away
But if this Lions team is going to be something this year, the defense is going to have to play like it did in 2011, when it scored seven touchdowns en route to the playoffs. Last season, they failed to score at all. Sunday, they probably should�ve had a pair of TDs, as Levy�s interception return was called back early in the second quarter and Bill Bentley dropped a sure pick-six a couple series later.
By game�s end, though, they�d picked off three of Ponder�s passes � the last on fourth down to seal the win with 1:20 left � and recovered a fumble off a botched handoff to Peterson earlier in the fourth quarter.
That puts them right on schedule, as the coaches reiterated in a defensive team meeting Thursday. Three turnovers a game is the goal.
�At least three,� Fairley corrected. �And if we do that, we�re gonna be a top-five defense and help our team win.�
The Lions spent much of the first half helping stake the Vikings to the early lead, of course. After Peterson busted the long run, the home team stayed in self-destruct mode for most of the first half, aided by instant replay after instant replay. (�Every time we scored,� Matthew Stafford joked afterward, �it was review, review, review.�
But after Joique Bell�s 2-yard plunge pulled the Lions to within a point at the half, the defense made its point on the opening drive of the third quarter. They forced another quick three-and-out by the Vikings, punctuated by Fairley�s third-down sack of Ponder on a delayed stunt that worked to perfection.
�The Red Sea parted and that boat stayed,� Fairley said, laughing. �Hey, I jumped on it.�
The offense, in turn, jumped on the short-field opportunity for the go-ahead touchdown. And the Lions never relinquished the lead after that, which is the idea, after all, given what they�ve invested in what Peterson called �one of the best defensive fronts we�re going to see all year.�
They didn�t look like it at first glance Sunday. But upon further review, as Suh said, �we did take care of business.�

The vast majority of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) looking to appoint new staff for their businesses believe it is important for each potential employee to have both a breadth and depth of finance expertise and capabilities, a new report from ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) reveals.
Called The Complete Finance Professional: Why breadth and depth of finance capability matter in today's finance function, the report gathers together existing evidence about the role of the 21st century accountant. It also outlines why broad-based finance qualifications remain valuable in economically turbulent times.
For the report, ACCA surveyed nearly 500 CFOs in the UK, Malaysia, Russia, China and the UAE, asking them a series of questions about what was important to them when it comes to appointing newly qualified accountants; what gives them confidence in their new hires; and what skills enable them to grow their business, particularly since the financial crisis.
Helen Brand OBE, chief executive of ACCA, says: 'Our research shows that recruiters are looking to appoint the complete finance professional, and seek out newly qualified accountants who have breadth and depth of skills. ACCA's view is that the environment in which finance professionals now work requires them to bring a broader range of finance skills to the table. Finance functions now have to be excellent in a wide range of capabilities, from supporting businesses to managing risk, developing effective strategies for growth, driving financial insight, continuing to maintain appropriate levels of control across the organisation as well as ensuring its statutory and regulatory responsibilities are met.'
Helen Brand added: 'More than 80 per cent of respondents said a complete understanding of the finance value chain - from budgeting to external reporting - and how all this fits together, was critical. The finance team has to meet the challenges posed by a post-crisis global economy which is increasingly volatile, complex and competitive - and given the breadth of financial activities that finance leaders are now engaged in, it is hardly surprising that they are looking to recruit employees with a broad range of skills and understanding.'
Key findings from the 500 global finance professionals surveyed for inclusion in this new report show:
- The importance of newly qualified finance professionals having a good working knowledge of different finance areas also resulted in high scores for each subject – for instance, 96 per cent said newly qualified finance professionals should know about financial management; and 94 per cent said it was important to have a good understanding of professionalism and ethics. Management skills scored 73 per cent while stakeholder relationship management came lower down the ranking at 68 per cent, possibly because CFOs responsible for hiring would see this as a development for the future.
- The most beneficial grounding to help a newly qualified finance professional on the path to being a future leader was a full appreciation of financial and management accounting, at 61 per cent, with 17 per cent saying a strong strategic focus was also an excellent grounding.
- Eighty-nine per cent said that understanding the links between all areas of finance enabled recruits to minimise future financial risks and 88 per cent said it also enabled them to deal with financial challenges. 80 per cent said it would enable their new recruit to take their career in any direction they chose.
- When it comes to sustainable business growth, 76 per cent said it 'really adds value to their business' for their finance professionals to have the complete finance knowledge and skills set, from both financial and strategic management accounting.
Helen Brand concludes: 'The need for finance staff to have a broad range of skills and expertise throughout the finance value chain is of prime importance to CFOs - and is therefore of equal importance to individuals looking to plan their careers and maximise their employability. Traditional career routes within the finance function are changing – we are seeing new types of finance roles emerging for example in shared services or global business service operations. In an annual survey of employers we conducted last year, nearly 90 per cent of employers said the ACCA Qualification was relevant to all employment sectors; this confirms our belief that ACCA offers a relevant qualification that meets the needs of business, individuals and employers to ensure that we develop the complete finance professional capable of achieving strategic roles in business.'

Chauncey Billups, left, and Joe Dumars are all smiles as they answer questions from reporters during the press conference Tuesdat at The Palace of Auburn Hills. (Clarence Tabb, Jr./The Detroit News)
Auburn Hills � This isn�t all about nostalgia, even if it looks that way. Sure, it was a happy day for the Pistons as they welcomed back Chauncey Billups, handed him his old jersey No. 1 and declared bygones long gone.
But beneath the feel-good emotions and the make-good sentimentality was a play-good promise, which is all that matters now. Billups made it, saying he wasn�t coming back at 36 just to be a mentor. Joe Dumars made it, saying he was very comfortable with the offseason improvements and was hunting for more.
The Pistons took a look back by reclaiming their savvy point guard Tuesday, but it�s not a step back. It�s a low-risk move and an acknowledgement of why the franchise lost its way, and how desperate it is to find its way back.
Billups might help some fans reconnect to the Pistons, but truly, that�s incidental. He can help young Brandon Knight develop, and might even help Rodney Stuckey figure a few things out. And frankly, Billups might even have to be the Pistons� starting point guard.
Dumars is in the final year of his contract and making the playoffs now seems essential, with a new owner in Tom Gores, a half-empty arena and five straight losing seasons. The Pistons have fine young pieces in Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe, but trying to win with an unproven point guard is tough. It�s partly why Dumars bypassed Trey Burke in the draft, and why the Pistons are mentioned in every trade rumor involving the Celtics� Rajon Rondo, even though Dumars denies them.
It�s why the Pistons drafted someone who appears more NBA-ready, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and why they doled out $54 million for mercurial but talented forward Josh Smith.
�I know we can compete for (the playoffs) now,� Dumars said. �We�ve upgraded the talent, the shooting, the leadership, the athleticism. I�m really comfortable if we had to go into the season with this roster. But you can�t shut the door and say, �OK, we�re done.� �
Dumars hired a veteran coach, Maurice Cheeks, and brought back Billups and Rasheed Wallace, who will serve as an assistant in charge of the big men. There�s some nostalgia to it, but also some necessity. Passivity isn�t acceptable anymore. Leadership is mandatory. And making the playoffs is a completely reasonable goal.
Respectability the plan
As he sat on the dais at The Palace Tuesday, Billups exhibited all the charisma and strong-willed smarts that made him so popular. He talked about the hurt he felt when traded by Dumars, how he wanted to be a �Piston for life� and plans to retire here when his contract expires in two years.
Billups is not nearly the player who led the Pistons to the 2004 championship and to the Finals the following season. He played 63 games the past three seasons with the Clippers and Knicks and suffered a torn Achilles tendon in 2012, but he says he feels great now. After Dumars dealt his captain for Allen Iverson in 2008, Billups posted a scoring average (17.5) and assist total with the Nuggets not far from his Pistons numbers.
When Billups watched from afar, still miffed he�d been traded, he sometimes couldn�t believe what he was seeing.
�Being away on other teams, I hated to see The Palace look the way it looks, with nobody watching,� Billups said. �Respectability is the word for me. I don�t know in two years if it can get back to what it was when I left, but making the playoffs is a goal we gotta have from Day 1.�
It�s funny sometimes how the circle closes. When Dumars dealt Billups, he was signaling the launch of a rebuilding process, whether he admitted it or not. As he brings Billups back, he�s subtly saying the sluggish rebuilding process has to be accelerated.
Dumars denied rumors he�d offered Knight and others to the Celtics for Rondo, the star recovering from a knee injury. But make no mistake, when Rondo is healthy and the Celtics� Danny Ainge is ready to listen to a deal not involving Drummond, the Pistons will talk.
Feels right to Dumars
Dumars has tried bold moves before, including the ill-fated Billups trade. That didn�t work because Iverson had nothing left, and because Dumars wasted the cap space on Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Dumars said again Tuesday it�s the one deal he fully regrets, but signing Billups wasn�t necessarily a payback.
Amends or amens, it�s a solid move that at least adds a respected voice to a young dressing room.
�I don�t want anyone to think, aw, they did that because it�s a feel-good moment,� Dumars said. �If he couldn�t play, there�s no way we�d be doing this. But does it feel right and feel good to have him back? Absolutely.�
There�s nothing wrong with the occasional feel-good moment to soothe the pain of clawing back to respectability. It�s hard to tell how much Billups has left but the Pistons will take it, and finally might stop regretting they didn�t keep it.

Lila Luminosity and the Planet Christmas Murder
Stellar tossed and turned in her bed, afraid to close her eyes. When she finally fell asleep, she was quickly interrupted by a familiar hologram floating above her bed. "Oh Lord, what are you doing here?"
"I'm the Christmas present dude."
"Okay first, you're not a dude, you're Lila's Mom. Second, why are you dressed like a chicken with a Santa hat on your head? Third, shouldn't you be in the kitchen cooking a chicken and not imitating one?"
"That's exactly what I said. However, this guy came to our house and said I have to go be a Christmas present chicken and I had no choice. So I put my dinner in the slow cooker, threw these feathers on over my apron and came right over."
"So, you're supposed to do, what may I ask?" Stellar asked hesitantly.
"Supposedly, I'm the guide here."
"Guiding me where?"
"To good stuff or something. From what I gathered, I'm supposed to show you what's happening right now and then you have to see someone else for the future. I don't know. It all sounds so familiar, yet so weird. I have no idea why he dragged me into this in the middle of preparing Vore's dinner. Plus Lila's father probably still hasn't taken the laundry out of the dryer, and by the time I get home, it will all be wrinkled. And I'll tell you, I'm not ironing it, he will have to put every piece in the ironing machine until they're perfect. That man--"
"Stop, I know all about the wrinkled laundry. Can we just get on with this please so I can go back to sleep. This whole thing is freaking me out here. What scares me most is you actually look pretty okay as a chicken."
"Fine, Ms. Impatient. Don't shoot the messenger here because this wasn't my idea. Remember that. I have better things to do with my time than schlep you through the universe on some intergalactic life lesson thing. By the way, do these feathers make me look fat? "
Stellar rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Now I see where Lila gets her craziness and, Ms. Chicken Lady, this century please."
"Fine, cool your hydrogen burners there, missy. We're going. Sheesh. Like I have nothing better to do--"
"What's that?"
"What where," Lila's Mom responded.
"That there. Testy, what's he doing?"
"Just a minute I can't see over these damn feathers. Wait, he's shopping I think," she answered.
"Ask him what he's buying," Stellar said.
"No, he can't see or hear us. That's the deal remember? Don't you watch old holoflicks?"
"Oh shoot."
"What's the matter?"
"I hate blue grabnab fur. It clashes with my coloring and makes me look as pale as the moons of Sirious."
"He's just looking at it," Lila's Mom defended. "Maybe you can send some sort of psychic message or something."
"Yuk yuk yucky."
"That's the message?"
"Well you said to send a message," Stellar said.
"Yes, but be more creative. No wonder you and Lila are still single. What color do you like?"
"Okay, watch and learn. Pink fur, pink fur, ordering pink fur here."
"Uh huh? And that's any different than saying yuk?"
"You need to be more positive."
"I am positive. Positive that blue fur is yucky."
"This isn't going the way I planned," Lila's mom mused.
"So what's your plan? I just want to get this over with."
"You're supposed to look at some cosmic overview of your life and realize how you're not enjoying all the good things, yudda, yudda, yudda and stop acting like such a pain in the ass buzz kill and--"
"And what?"
"I don't remember any more. I'm not twenty, I forget shit."
"But this crazy trip through the universe thing you needed to remember?"
"I'd leave now if I could, but we have one more stop."
"Then will you go back to cooking chickens instead of impersonating one please," Stellar pleaded.
Can Lila and Buster find the perfect holiday gifts? Will Stellar finally understand the real meaning of Christmas? Has Mavus gone off the deep end of the solar system and really murdered Santa? Will Lila's Mom create the perfect chicken recipe for the holidays? All this and much more will be revealed in Lila Luminosity and the Planet Christmas Murder, a hilarious holiday romp through the galaxy with Lila and her quirky crew.

Installing Applications and Keeping PC‑BSD® Updated/9.2
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
In PC-BSD, software is divided into PBIs, meta-packages, and package sets:
- PBIs are single applications, such as web browsers or multimedia utilities. PBIs are installed and managed using AppCafe®. Update Manager will automatically notify you when newer versions of installed PBIs become available.
- Meta-packages are installable software collections that can be considered the same as system components. Meta-packages are selected during installation and include supported and unsupported desktops, development utilities, hardware drivers, and miscellaneous applications such as MythTV or XBMC. After installation, your initial meta-packages choices can be modified using System Manager. Warden® also supports meta-packages, allowing you to install system components into a jail.
- Package sets include the default packages that get installed with any PC-BSD system, plus the meta-packages which are selected for installation by the user. The list of packages which are installed with the 9.1 PC-BSD operating system are listed on trac[1]. CHANGE URL WHEN 9.1 IS RELEASED You can also view the package list for each meta-package on trac[2]. Update Manager will automatically notify you when a new package set is ready--typically this occurs every week or two, making it easy to keep the software that came with the operating system up-to-date.
NOTE: users are highly discouraged from using FreeBSD packages or ports or upgrade tools such as portupgrade or portversion from the PC-BSD command line as Update Manager will remove your manual software installations and upgrades. If you wish to practice using these tools, instead use Warden® to create a ports jail. If you think an application belongs in the base system (e.g. an add-on to a desktop meta-package), suggest that it be added using one of the resources in the Finding Help section.
This section demonstrates the following PC-BSD tools for managing software on your PC-BSD system:
- AppCafe® to install PBI software using a graphical application.
- PBI Manager to manage PBI software using command line utilities.
- Update Manager to install newer versions of PBIs or package sets and to apply security patches using a graphical application.
- Meta Package Manager to manage meta-packages from the command line.
It also describes how to create your own package repository of custom PBIs.

FSU wary of timing with Stoops' departure
Other than the destination and the timing, there was little surprising about Tuesday's announcement that Mark Stoops is leaving his post as Florida State's defensive coordinator to become head coach
