The Evolution Report
, hosted by Paul Wilson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Evolution Report
is a series of audio programs on evolutionary topics. It is primarily intended to be supplemental instruction for BIOL 322 Evolutionary Biology. Students say that they don't have enough time to study more than they are already studying, but many spend tons of down-time in their cars and relaxing before bed. Our idea then was to produce an entertaining show that could be listened to during this down-time and that would not consume high-quality time. The goal is to make evolutionary topics more familiar.
The Evolution Report
is not meant to be a thing that itself can be studied. Instead, after listening to
the Evolution Report
we imagine that material in class will be absorbed more easily and be more interesting. We also hope that
the Evolution Report
will entertain and inform people not in 322 who take an interest in the origins of adaptations and the diversity of life. Funding for
the Evolution Report
has been provided by a grant by the NIH to Dr. Maria Elena Zavala for supplemental instruction in the biomedical sciences, particularly so-called "gatekeeper courses", i.e., those that students of the biomedical sciences need to do well in early during their college careers. Click
for our list of supplemental materials, and
for more on the NIH-funded minority programs at CSUN. Additional funding has been provided by a Judge Julian Beck Grant administered by CSUN. Episodes do not depend on one another. Students taking 322 might want to listen to them in the following order. Clicking on the title will open an .mp3 file of about 27 MB. Most people have their browsers set to just play the file. If you want to get it on your .mp3 player, you should probably right click or hold down control while clicking so as to "download link to disk", then copy over to your .mp3 player.
Selection Thinking
- Dr. Jim Hogue who teaches evolutionary biology at CSUN talks about what he want 322 students to incorporate into their daily thinking (as opposed to what we can test them on). What Dr. Hogue calls "Selection Thinking" is central to his course. We also talk about other bits of evolutionary logic, like "Tree Thinking".
Adaptationists Program
- In 1979 Gould and Lewonton offered a critique of the adaptationist's program in which they criticized people for believing the first story that came to mind about the origins of a trait. The eventual response was an expansion of the range of interpretations of the historical origins of traits and a strengthening of how one makes ainferencesbout adaptations. This topic is reviewed with Dr. Rick Shine (University of Sydney), a prolific evolutionary biologist who mainly studies reptiles.
Single Locus Evolution
- Dr. Polly Schffiman, who teaches 322, simplifies evolution down by considering a single genetic locus. She relates Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium as "control conditions," and explains mutation, selection, gene flow, drift, and hitchhiking as causes of evolution. This is the foundational explanation upon which more complex evolutionary scenarios are built.
Isolating Barriers
- "Speciation" is defined as the origin of reproductive isolating barriers. Dr. Dave Gray, who teaches 322 at CSUN has done extensive studies of speciation in crickets. He tells of his work in this interview, using it to illustrate many of the factors that may be involved in speciation.
Evo Devo Ginger Banana
- Dr. Chelsea Specht (UC Berkeley) explains the joining of evolutionary phylogenetics with developmental genetics, particularly in plants. She works on the Zingiberales, containing bananas and gingers. She explains the a-b-c model of floral development and how the genes involved are found not only in flowering plants.
The Breeder's Equation
- Dr. David Houle (Florida State University) rearranges the equation that is usually expressed as ResponseTOselection = Heritability
SelectionDifferential, changing it to ResponseTOselection = AdditiveGeneticVariance
Selection Gradient. The multivariate form of this is
, which he explains in terms of the adaptive landscape. Life history variables turn out to have a high "evolvability".
Only the Good Die Young
- Dr. David Reznick (UC Riverside) explains life history evolution. A life table is a schedule of survivorship
and fecundity
for each age class
; these numbers are components of fitness. Using an example he has studied extensively, guppies from high predation sites have shorter lives, reproduce sooner, and store less fat than guppies from low predation sites. However, they do not meet the prediction that high predation should cause accelerated scenescence compared to low predation, invoking more complex explanations that are also rooted in the math of life tables.
Charlie's Words
- My father Richard Wilson reads excerpts from
On the Origin of Species
(1st edition).
Inplace or Assembled
- Dr. Carlos Herrera (Estación Biológia de Doñana) tells of the two fields of explanation for how the organisms in a community are apt to one another. At one end of the spectrum, these organisms specifically have adapted to one another in this community; at the other end of the spectrum, they evolved in many other places under many other circumstances and were assembled in this community because they can use each other. Examples are given concerning birds-n-fruits, pollinators-n-flowers, and bugs-n-leaves.
The Engine of Macroevolution
- Dr. Richard Squires of the Geology department at CSUN gives an account of the history of life on Earth, emphasizing how plate tectonics has caused many of the great changes. Tectonic changes result in global climate change, the rise and fall of sea levels, vicariance and exchanges, and volcanism.
Ultimate & Proximate
- Dr. Maria Elena Zavala (who also administers the grant that funds the
Evolution Report
) explains the complementary roles of ultimate and proximate explanations in biology. Her training in evolutionary biology still sets the stage for her scholarship in cell biology.
Powerful Species & Their Prey
- Dr. Geerat Vermeij (UC Davis) tells of the evolutionary effects of predation and more generally competition. Various adaptations arise in prey and in predators. Predators have power over prey, and because losing a life is worse than losing a diner, heavy investment in defense ensues, particularly in high-energy environments. Communities are prone to escalation when both opponents can be hurt. Losers fill in the intersticies of the economy. After a crash, first quick metabolizers are favored, eventually the community becomes more complex. Top predators are drawn from other guilds, and their monopoly rarely last for long. This interview abstracts much of Vermeij's (2004) book,
Nature: an Economic History
The Uses of Trees
- Dr. Kevin Omland (University of Maryland Baltimore County) explains how one uses phylogenies (especially near the species level) for ancestral state reconstruction, seeing the relative recency of common ancestors, dating divergences, studying convergent evolution, asking if two phylogenies are concordant as one would expect from cospeciation, and as a basis for circumscribing taxonomic groups.
The Meanings of Sex
- Mia Adreani and Janna Fierst (former master's students) talk about how evolutionary biologists use the words 'sex' and 'sexual', and how sex is a central topic in our field, but not entirely for the reasons that first come to mind. Sex, sexual: (1) the systematic reorganization of the genome through meiosis and fertilization; (2) gender strategies for reproduction; (3) pertaining to relationships between the genders; (4) in certain organisms copulation, copulatory.
For Whom Selection Benefits
- Dr. Leonard Nunney (UC Riverside) explains why the adaptations of individuals are not usually fashioned for the good of the species, then untangles other levels of selection, such as kin selection, selection among cells, and selection among lineages. He explains why we get so many types of cancer and why most species remain sexual.
Plants & Herbivores
- Dr. Conchita Alonso explains classical views of how herbivores such as caterpillars evolve on diverse plants and how plants have evolved in face of these enemies. She addresses the adaptive nature of defensive traits, tradeoffs, and key innovations.
Mating Systems in Plants
- Dr. Steven Weller (University of California Irvine) traces the paths of evolution from one mating system to another in plants, including discussion of the evolution of selfers, gynodioecy (females + hermaphrodites), dioecy (females + males), and heterostylous species.
Changin Times in Species Exploration
- Dr. Marshal Hedin (San Diego State U) explains the flood of work in molecular systematics caused by genetic tools breaking the dam behind which difficult problems have been accumulating for 300 years since Linneaus. Topics include a critique of species barcoding, detecting cryptic species, studying population genetic structure in low-dispersal groups, and unraveling the origin of cave-dwelling species. Systematics provides a biologically relevant organization for knowledge of various organisms. Good classifications, including good species concepts, are based on multiple lines of evidence.

Review by Julie Pro
His Girl Friday 1940
Julie's review:
I don't think that rapid-fire dialogue alone makes a movie, but this seems to be one of the best examples, and I enjoyed Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell a great deal. Man, I know this isn't news or anything, but Cary Grant was really fucking charming. Funny how Rosalind Russell's character in this 1940s film is a stronger leading lady character than most of those in modern rom-coms.
This would make a great double-feature with Network. I would watch them both and then sit and cry about the modern 24-hour news cycle.
Also, quite possibly the worst movie poster ever.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received."

Bangkok, Thailand
The owner of a message-board website got a suspended one-year jail term and a fine of Bt20,000 after a user posted sex-scene pictures of a Thai woman on his site.
The Criminal Court found Pongwit Singsun 23, guilty of violations of the Computer-Related Crimes Act for allowing his website to be used to damage another person's reputation.
Public prosecutors charged that the crime took place from October 6 to November 30.
A user posted the sex-scene pictures of a woman in Nakhon Sawan, who alerted police.
The court initially sentenced Pongwit to years and fine of Bt40,000 but commuted the penalties by half after he pleaded guilty.
The court later suspend the one-year jail term and put him on probation for two years during which he must report to probation officials for eight times. He is also required to carry out social service for 48 hours.

oh man.. managing a forum just got tougher
I am also a writer for Serpholic Media. You can find some of my articles here: Serpholic Media Blog
internet law in thailan is simlar to china. One guy was arrested when spammer flooded his forum with porn. He had no chanse to delete them all and the police came. They can raid your house with no court warrent and you can not use proxy or have porn your home computer.
This is a big one, I think a lot of US people especially are under the assumption that their site isn't hosted in the US, they aren't liable/bound by US laws when in reality they are.
If you're going to do something that's against the law where you live, simply picking a host/server that's else where isn't going to save you.
I think this also goes to show you to have some common decency and if someone requests their pictures removed, to simply remove them and not throw some huge fuss over it

Luminara Unduli
A green-skinned Mirialan, Luminara Unduli served the Jedi Order during the final years of the Galactic Republic, and trained the capable Padawan Barriss Offee. A no-nonsense Jedi Master, Luminara fought in Clone Wars battles such as Geonosis and Kashyyyk, and was thought to have perished during Order 66. In reality, she'd been taken into Imperial custody and executed, with holographic transmissions of her captivity used as bait to capture fugitive Jedi.
- Female,
- Height: 1.76m ,
This Party's Over
Mace and scores of Jedi arrive at the Geonosian arena to liberate Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padmé from execution.
An Innocent Pawn
Aboard the Jedi Cruiser Tranquility, Nute Gunray is interrogated by Jedi Luminara Unduli and Ahsoka Tano. Able to withstand Luminara's line of questioning, he finally relents after Ahsoka threatens his life.
Asajj Vs. Luminara
Asajj battles Master Jedi Luminara Unduli in an effort to free Nute Gunray from his Republic captors.
A by-the-book Jedi, Luminara Unduli served the Jedi Order during the last years of the Republic. Together with her Padawan Barriss Offee, Luminara joined the Jedi rescue effort on Geonosis, engaging Count Dooku's battle droids in the first conflict of the Clone Wars.
Along with many other Jedi, Luminara led clone troops during the war against the Separatists. She supervised the transport of Nute Gunray to Coruscant and took part in the second invasion of Geonosis. Luminara also continued to train Barriss, though her Padawan would eventually turn against the Jedi Order.
Luminara led troops during the Battle of Kashyyyk, and for years it was believed that she had died there, killed by her own soldiers when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued Order 66. The truth was different: She was taken into Imperial custody and held in the prison known as the Spire before her execution. Holographic footage of a captive Luminara was then used to lure fugitive Jedi into an Imperial trap.

Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka Tano, a Togruta female, was the Padawan learner to Anakin Skywalker and a hero of the Clone Wars. Alongside Anakin, she grew from headstrong student into a mature leader. But her destiny laid along a different path than the Jedi.
Asajj Ventress
An assassin trained in the ways of the dark side by Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress yearned to be considered a true Sith, but such status wasn't allowed under the Sith's Rule of Two. Ventress fought with twin red-bladed lightsabers, and clashed with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker many times. But her destiny would not lie with the Sith. After Dooku rejected her as his apprentice and tried to kill her, Ventress returned to her roots as a Nightsister, made a living as a bounty hunter, and – in the strangest twist of all – rediscovered the way of the light that she'd rejected long ago as a Jedi Padawan.
Nute Gunray
Neimoidians are known for their business skills, but Nute Gunray, Viceroy of the Trade Federation, was more cutthroat than most. It was Gunray who conspired with the Sith Lord Darth Sidious to launch the blockade and subsequent invasion of Naboo. Once the planet was under siege, Gunray attempted to force Queen Amidala to sign a treaty that would legitimize the occupation. Amidala escaped, and returned to infiltrate her own palace and blast through Gunray's protectors. Arrested by Republic officials, Gunray was carted off to answer for his crimes, but evaded imprisonment and kept his post.
Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Clone Commander Gree
Clone Commander Gree, designation 1004, led the Elite Corps of clone troopers during the Clone Wars. He saw deployments on such heated battlefronts as Kashyyyk. Gree himself wore camouflaged armor to better blend into jungle surroundings. Though a faithful commander who carried out the Jedi's orders, Gree was ultimately loyal to the Republic. When Chancellor Palpatine enacted Order 66, Gree understood it was a worst-case scenario contingency -- the Jedi had betrayed the Republic, and were therefore dangerous enemies of the state.
Barriss Offee
The Mirialan Padawan to Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee preferred learning and studying ancient Jedi texts in the Temple to war. This mindset, while noble, led her down a dark path that saw her betray friends and commit terrible acts.

So here's some food for thought for all you protein mongers—the US Olympic Association has adopted an initiative called 'Meatless Monday'. It means that the athletes will not eat meat on a Monday, so they make a healthy start to the entire week. (Even Swiss Olympians will not be served meat for dinner). The findings now seem to prove the undervalued traditional food wisdom that ancient cultures like ours have always had. Which is, to meet your protein requirement you don't have to mindlessly consume protein; you simply have to create an environment in the gastro-intestinal tract to absorb and assimilate the amino acids.
In our food culture, even when meat is consumed, it's consumed as a part of the meal along with rice/ chapatti and vegetables and never as a meal by itself. This method of eating meat allows for optimum absorption and assimilation of amino acids and minimises the load on the intestines. Most communities already have the practice of 'meatless day or days' of the week or month.
Other than the right inner environment for absorption, nutrition bodies world over are now talking about the wrongs we create in the outer environment (pollution) because of CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation, Google it). Most processed meats and fast food chains source meat from cafos, as it's cheap and keeps the bottomline healthy. But know that healthy bottomline for a food giant always spells a bursting belly for its consumers.
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
Vegetarianism makes evolutionary biological, humanitarian, environmental and indian cultural , as you put it, sense.
However, I would like a piece on protein powders. More imp, do you use them at all?
What burns in food, is glucose. In India, foods associated with biological combustion, and which were efficient in this role, were fats, and carbohydrates. Every food source, is used as fuel for the body, in basically the same manner. Perhaps, different parts of the body, use different food sources, by breaking down the food compound into a particular organic substance, and every part uses the same substance. In certain conditions, the biological combustion becomes difficult, because the body does not recognise what is combusted.
Lower protein leads to brain malfunction , particularly leads to depression.
That is the greatest danger for those who consume low protein food. The first target victim is a pregnant woman who may deliver a mentally weak child.
However high protein consumption is absolutely useless. It can lead to ( a very high chance of ) colon cancer. Vegetable fiber must accompany consumption of high protein food to avoid colon cancer.
Human being as against animals, must change their food. It is a must over a period of time. Taking the same type of food for years together will lead to some disease. But for animals like a for your pet dog for example, you should not change the food. It must be the same. Any sudden change in the food means the dog might die.
Protein powders may be useful for a convalescing patient or for a pregnant woman who is on a very poor food or malnutrition. But for all others it is a useless one or even a harmful one.
Dieticians in the west have not looked in to the eastern ways of eating and its benefits.In the ancient system of south Indian medicine known as Siddha the philosophy is 'food is medicine and medicne is food'.
I live in USA and the philosophy here is -never starve but keep eating every 2 hrs.No wonder 60% of the US population is obese.

America's Cup, the competition for the oldest trophy in international sport, will celebrate its 162nd birthday this week. It was August 22, 1851, when the yacht America beat the best of the British fleet in a race around the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England.
The pretigious America's Cup in all her glory
The trophy won on that day was later donated through a Deed of Gift to foster 'friendly competition between foreign countries', and has represented the pinnacle of the sport ever since.

In an analysis conducted by Fraglia Vela Riva's sport's director Andrea Camin, on the regattas in the ISAF calendar ( The International Sailing Federation), from September 2011 to September 2012, showed that Italy organised the most regattas in the world with 82 events.
PastedGraphic-1 Italy holds most ISAF regattas
In comparison France had 67, The U.S.A, 50 and Spain 33. This means that 13.78% of the events in the ISAF calendar were organised in Italy compared with 11.26% in France and 8.4% in the U.S. Analysing figures for organising clubs showed that Fraglia Vela Riva was the first sailing club in the world with a total of 16 events compared with 12 from Yacht Club, Argentina and seven from Società des Regatès Rochelaises (La Rochelle- France) and Abu Dhabi Yacht Club, (see attach B).
PastedGraphic-2 Italy holds most ISAF regattas
PastedGraphic-3 Italy holds most ISAF regattas
For this ulterior success, which already speaks for itself, Fraglia Vela Riva would like to thank its staff who made this all possible along with the executive board for its decisions, choices and leadership and to all those who undertook their work with the utmost professionalism and enthusiasm both on water and on land. In addition to the 100 days of regattas, we are left with the satisfaction and conviction of knowing that every single participant who came to Riva del Garda, took home a memory that will remain with them for years to come.

The 2012 Panthers Draft Discussion
I havent seen any of these in here yet so I decided to make one. This is going to be a very critical draft for this staff seeing as we look to be a team on the upswing. We have plenty of needs on both sides of the ball, but defense seems to be in need of an upgrade. I have the top needs for the Panthers in this order.
As of now we are in the 8th spot with two games left. At that point it seems like a lot of top guys like Kalil, Claiborne, Blackmon, etc will be gone. Reaching for a guy like Kirkpatrick, Martin, any of the DTs dosen't seem like the right decision. A guy that seems to be an interesting option is Quinton Coples. He fits multiple needs on defense and probably wouldn't be that much of a reach. Another scenario I would like is a double dip in the South Carolina pool if we finish out of the top 10. Draft Alshon Jeffery in the first and Gilmore in the second. Both fill pressing needs at this point. What are everyone's thoughts?
I will be pissed if we take Alshon.
We are pretty much playing ourselves into the place in the draft where I would want to trade back. Kirkpatrick is decent but probably not a top ten pick. Seeing as we already traded our third rounder I would like to get an additional pick and move back.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there is a lot of interesting talent in the middle of the first. By that I mean guys at the LB/DT/CB position.
I think the safest and possibly the best for the long term for us to make is to look at one of the tackles and protect Cam. Byron Bell is possibly the worst RT in the league right now and Gross is getting old. Wharton is also a player on our line who is not holding up well at all, he is actually doing really badly as well.
idk man unless it's Kalil I don't want an OT. Martin and Reiff are projects to me and I would rather take a defensive player or a WR to help Cam.
If you're trying to start a team that can be competitive year in and year out I think you need mainstays at QB, C, LT, DT/DE and MLB.
Of course there are other combinations that work, but having those sealed in place makes sticking other players around them a lot easier.
If we trade back, I would think about Janoris Jenkins being a possibility although his issues might be too much risk for a young team.
We do need a future #1 receiver but we'll be fine through next year with Gettis coming back to take LaFell's role while LaFell likely steps into Naanee's role (Naanee is a UFA and hard to imagine him being back given our cap situation). Add in Pilares, Edwards, and possibly Adams or Ajirotutu for depth along with Steve Smith as the current #1 and our receiving core is fine.
I'm a UNC fan and I'm not big on Coples. He'll be drafted more on athleticism than on actual production. Half of his sack total this season came in two games (Duke & James Madison). There were games where he just totally disappeared, and it wasn't because he was constantly double or triple teamed. He was just being handled one on one by non-NFL propsect linemen.
I'd rather take a Kirkpatrick or an O-linemen in that spot. I like Jeffrey but with our biggest holes being on defense and along the O-line, that's a luxury pick.
Looks like most people are mocking Brockers to us at #9. Depending on how he does tomorrow though could his stock rise even more to the point where another team would try to jump us to get him?
Dontari Poe had 44 reps on bench, ran a 4.87 40 at 350 pounds.
I need to know more about both of them, but Poe is owning the metrics right now. Those numbers are all better than Ngata and Raji's at a heavier weight even.
Scott Wright has Fletcher Cox to the Panthers as the first DT off the board. I really have no idea who the best DT is at this point. It's a merry-go-round. I really like this second round pick for the Panthers: Stephon Gilmore. He's got size, speed, he hits, did well in the combine drills and has nice hands.
What about drafting linebackers? Thomas Davis has obvious issues, Beason is also coming back and Conner might leave. What about Ronnell Lewis or Lavonte David? Rivera can't fight the urge to draft a LB like himself back to back years can he?
A team offering a third rounder or a second would also interest me in moving back in the first.
What are Davis' issues?
Shutdown, Fletcher Cox is definitely the best DT. My concern with that mock projection is that the Carolina GM has come out and said he's not specifically looking for DTs in the first round. He may be just BSing, but it's worth noting.
I've thought about mocking Michael Floyd to the Panthers at 9....
I encourage you all to check out my latest 4 round mock draft :)
Scott Wright mentions that Cox is really popular amongst the coaches and GMs.
I know Hurney isn't looking specifically at DT, if Blackmon or Claiborne fell I don't think anyone would pass. Floyd had a really nice combine too.
Jordan Senn is going to test free agent waters. Not that big a hit, but maybe we are all overlooking the linebacker position some? Beason and Davis are both coming off injury, Connor might leave as well.
I'd really love having two second rounders to pick up a talented corner and linebacker. Or maybe pick up a veteran in free agency.
Here's my dream draft as of 3/10 pre FA
1. Luke Kuechly (moving Beason to OLB and assuming Connor/Senn are gone amd Claiborne is off the board)
2. Kelechi Osemele (Otah is too unreliable and this makes OL a big strength)
3. Jamell Fleming (Obvious need if not addressed at this point)
4. Brandon Taylor
5. Drew Butler (Baker needs to go)
6. Russell Wilson
I'd like the Kuechly pick if we were to trade back a few spots. I don't think I would take him in the top ten. Beason just doesn't seem to be as affective when moved outside.
Are these picks by round or just order? We don't have a third round pick currently but Flemming is a strong choice. I like the 2nd-3rd round talent at corner.
I like the last two picks, especially Drew Butler and I'm glad you brought that up. Baker sucks, I also wouldn't mind if we drafted a new field goal kicker to replace Mare. Baker and Mare have $9M and $12M contracts respectively. It would be nice to get some rookies who are better for cheaper.
All of a sudden our OG position is a weakness and we have no depth at OT. I think if we get ANY offer to trade down in the 1st we should jump at it. 4-5 spots should land us a 3rd rounder. We should still draft the BPA and be set.
New dream mock is:
1. Kuechly/DeCastro/Cox/Poe in that order.
2. Osemele/Zeitler or BPA DT
3. (3rd rd through trade) Cyrus Gray or Jonathan Massaquoi or Derek Wolfe
4.Jamell Fleming
5.Brandon Taylor
6. Drew Butler
7. OL depth (will blackwell?)
Hey guys, Cowboys fan here. We just picked up Mackenzy Bernedeau and apparently gave him starters quality money. Do you guys have any insight on him? Can he play?
Do you all really think it's possible they draft Kuechly and move Beason to OLB?
I don't like Beason outside. I'd rather take a true outside linebacker to fill TD's role.
We signed Nakamura to a three year deal. After reading articles about why he left Baltimore (He loved the team but wants to start) I am convinced Rivera told him that if you come in and help our special teams you will have a legitimate shot to win the starting job form Martin.
He doesn't have any real experience on defense but being in Baltimore behind Reed counts for something. Nakamura isn't huge so he was never the natural compliment to Reed like the bigger in-the-box safeties such as Pollard.
I hope this signing turns out to be something like Chris Harris or Marlon McCree. I think he is a lot younger than both of them so I also hope he is a longer fix than they were. McCree split for a paycheck after his success with us.
With the way the Ravens fans and coaches talk about him I could see him beating Martin. He sounds like an intelligent, athletic, hard working player who hasn't gotten the opportunity. Martin never struck me as someone who cared all that much. Maybe that's what happens when you don't have anyone competing for your job.
I like what Richardson said about Martin in an interview:
Here are the FA's of next year to consider. May need to groom a starting T, CB, FB. Bringing in Tolbert tells me we will be looking at a FB/RB combo back if we don't sign him. Goodson will be gone IMO as will Sherrod Martin. It also looks like we are interested in mid-round WRs for this year.
Steve Smith (WR)
Jeff Otah (RT)
Darius Butler (CB)
Sherrod Martin (FS)
Jason Williams (OLB)
Mike Goodson (RB)
Ben Hartsock (TE)
Captain Munnerlyn (CB)
Andre Neblett (DT)
Kion Wilson (LB)
Jyles Tucker (LB)
Ogemdi Nwaguo (DT)
Jason Phillips (LB)
Richie Brockel (FB)
Derek Anderson (QB)

The X Factor Results!
It was the X Factor semi-finals last night. And if you don't know who got sent home yet, check out the results below!

We'll be seeing a lot more of Union J.
Check out the best bits of Union J below…
We will definitely be playing Union J's first single on Fun Kids. We just need to wait for them to make it.
You can tune in to Fun Kids on DAB Digital Radio in London and online across the UK. Click here to listen!

3D Software?
View Single Post
May 18 2005, 06:44 AM
Re: 3D Software?
My program of choice is 3ds max. This is mainly because this is the program I learned on and the only one that I have taken classes on. It's really good for making objects to add to games because most of the game developers use 3ds max and will release their plugins to the modding community. I have been using it recently to create ships for Starfleet Command III. It is a an industry standard program with enormous capabilities. I would consider it to be the second best overall 3D graphics program with Maya being the best.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - The classiest folks in town may be a lot younger than you think. It's because they attend class at a local elementary school.
Last Friday, one of Nisley Elementary School's third grade classes went out for dinner and a show.
The gathering of third graders took a couple steps forward to learn the power of politeness by watching a live performance of "Peter and the Wolf" followed by an Italian feast.
The goal of the day was to teach these youngsters the wonders of minding your "P's and Q's" and experience foreign right in town.

How awesome is this?!
via Nasa.gov:
… Read the rest
Astronomers using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and ground observation have found an unlikely object in an improbable place — a monster black hole lurking inside one of the tiniest galaxies ever known.
The black hole is five times the mass of the one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. It is inside one of the densest galaxies known to date — the M60-UCD1 dwarf galaxy that crams 140 million stars within a diameter of about 300 light-years, which is only 1/500th of our galaxy's diameter.
If you lived inside this dwarf galaxy, the night sky would dazzle with at least 1 million stars visible to the naked eye. Our nighttime sky as seen from Earth's surface shows 4,000 stars.
The finding implies there are many other compact galaxies in the universe that contain supermassive black holes.

Fardeen nods 'Na Na Karte'
04th Apr 2006 19.00 IST
By Nikhil Kumar
Fardeen Khan has given his nod to director Anant Mahadevan's next movie.
Spurred by the fairly good run of his movie Aksar , Anant Mahadevan is now gearing up to direct a comedy. The movie will have a bigger star cast than Mahadevan's previous venture.
Titled Na Na Karte , the film will star two heroes and two heroines. So far only Fardeen Khan and Dia Mirza have been finalized for the roles.
According to Mahadevan, the movie is about two bachelors who have reached marriageable age and Fardeen's role in it is almost tailor-made, despite the fact that the actor tied the knot in December last year. Fardeen recently read the movie's script and gave his consent to the director.
Fardeen, who has shown his flair for comedy in films like Shaadi No. 1 , Khushi and last year's hit No Entry , will play a full-fledged comic character in 'Na Na Karte'.
The movie's makers are looking forward to sign Emraan Hashmi or Ritesh Deshmukh for the second male lead. Bhumika Chawla is being considered for the second heroine.
'Na Na Karte' would also star gorgeous and chirpy Juhi Chawla . She plays a Bengali girl who works in the same office as Fardeen and keeping doling out advices to him that, instead of helping him, get him into deeper troubles.
Shooting for 'Na Na Karte' is likely to begin in August this year. The film will be shot in Mumbai and Rajasthan.

On the night of Oct. 20, 2014, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American teenager in Chicago, was walking down the street when two police cruisers sped up to him. Officers jumped out, and at least one of them, Jason Van Dyke, began firing. Laquan fell to the ground, his final, painful moments caught on the dashboard video camera of a third police vehicle that had arrived just seconds before. Laquan spun as he was shot. Two bullets hit him in the back. As the video clearly shows, the bullets were pumped into him, evidenced by clouds of dust exploding off the pavement. This week, on the day the video was released to the public by court order, Officer Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder — 400 days after he killed Laquan McDonald.

If you want to do it cheaper you can do it without a fog machine. Just an idea you can try it yourself.
Obtain some dry ice. Put the dry ice in a bucket. Pour room temperature water over the ice until it is covered. Dense fog will begin to rise out of the bucket. If you want some different methods to produce fog cheaper you can Google it.

this isn't a proper component but a script which utilises 2 other components (WSH panel mod & foo_customdb) to do the following:
-it can import the playcount/loved tracks from your entire last.fm library into foobar. it uses foo_customdb so your files are not touched.
-after doing the library import it will automatically update in the background as you listen.
-it can love/unlove tracks on last.fm via a button.
-it can automatically love tracks when they are played based on title formatting (for example, it can be set to automatically love tracks with a RATING of 5)
-you can display/filter the data in any custom columns, library viewers, display panels, etc using these simple tags:
%LASTFM_LOVED_DB% //has a value of 1 for loved tracks
full instructions can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2280132...ount%20sync.zip
changelog: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2280132...e/changelog.txt
updated 30/04/13: no longer requires foo_softplaylists meaning artist field remapping is supported for loving tracks and background updates.

on_item_played doesn't work for tracks less than 60 seconds in length. instead it fires when the next track begins playback (and then again when that reaches 60 seconds as well. ). i've mentioned that twice in your thread now but no response so that's why i put in this workaround.
last.fm has a minimum length requirement of 30 seconds for scrobbling so it should be possible to update these these files.
@carmenm, i fail to see how that script works on streams. it's not possible. you haven't made the required changes.

Alumnus Dusty Wince Shares Successes, Challenges, and Advice
Dale "Dusty" Wince recently graduated from George Mason University's School of Business Executive MBA Program as part of the National Defense cohort. Selected by faculty as "Outstanding Graduate," and also inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society, Wince says, "A critical role for any CEO is the ability to develop a strategy and articulate a vision. The Mason EMBA program has provided me a framework and set of tools to lead my company far more effectively."
With more than 25 years of information technology (IT) consulting experience, Wince has held several executive positions for leading IT integration and consulting firms in the Washington, D.C., area throughout his career. Wince founded Knowledge Consulting Group in 2000 and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer.
Even as a teenager Wince was interested in building his own business.
"I have been fascinated by business leaders such as Ross Perot and Jack Welch," says Wince. "My career started at Electronic Data Systems (EDS) when Ross Perot was still the CEO. From that point, I knew I wanted to start, run, and grow a company."
At 32, with two children and a pregnant wife, Wince faced his biggest career challenge. "[I] was leaving a highly successful 10 year career at EDS where I was running $200M of defense business to be a co-founder of a two person company called Business Impact Systems (BIS). It was a scary time."
In 1998, BIS was ranked #1 Fastest Growing Technology Company in Virginia and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Wince was able to grow the company to more than 150 people and sold it within five years.
In 2000, he decided to follow is entrepreneurial passion yet again.
"[I] started Knowledge Consulting Group (KCG) in 2000 and hired one of the most talented management teams in the cyber security market," Wince shares. "Watching the company grow from one to over 250 employees has been the most rewarding aspect of my career. It is my belief that there is nothing more important in business than creating jobs and opportunities for others."
So it was only natural that when Wince wanted to give back to his alma mater he became a supporter of the School of Business' Student Venture fund. His $100,000 donation to the fund will support students seeking to start their own companies. Initially, recipients will be selected at the annual Dean's Business Plan Competition and the selected team will receive $20,000 in cash and in-kind services to help launch the company.
Whether starting a business or pursuing a master's degree, the path to success is not an easy one. "Like most things in life, anything worth having will involve personal sacrifice," says Wince. "If you do decide to accept the challenge, you will not be disappointed. The sense of accomplishment and new confidence is irreplaceable."

Salome Jashi's Their Helicopter (2006) received, among others, awards at the DOCSDF International Documentary Film Festival Mexico City; Cronograf IDFF Moldova, and Lessinia IFF Italy.
Jashi's latest film The Leader Is Always Right (2010) was screened in March 2010 at the One World festival in Prague.
Georgia 2010
Director: Salome Jashi
Producer: Anna Dziapshipa, Nino Orjonikidze, Sakdoc Film
A three-story brick building in the provincial Georgian town of Chokhatauri houses a diverse mix of people. A Chinese man comes out to hang red lanterns in front of his shop. The dentist upstairs in her clean white room sterilizes her instruments. A refugee couple stares out of another window.
But at the center of the building is a restaurant whose walls are bright green and orange and where tables are set waiting for customers who rarely come. The film is centered around three characters – the boss, an active waitress always complaining and another, quiet easily controlled waitress.
This building is like a chaotic microcosm, a model of the country, with constant demonstrations and opposition rallies. On the backdrop of political events, somehow, all of life is here. Politics is never too far, affecting the isolated lives of those who live and work in the building.

How to Become a Ski Instructor
You don't have to be a ski champion in order to be a ski instructor. All you need is a love for the outdoors, a passion for the sport, and patience. Many of the best ski instructors are those that may have struggled with some of the more complex moves, as they have the empathy needed to teach others. Ski instructing also comes with perks such as free or discounted lift tickets and discounts on clothes and equipment. Read further to learn how to become a ski instructor.
1Take a professional training class from a ski instructor. Even though you may be an excellent skier, there is a possibility you may not be up-to-date on the current methods. Taking a class will also give you a better idea of the job of a ski instructor and the opportunity to observe different styles of ski instruction. You will need to adjust your training style depending upon the capabilities and personalities of your customers.Ad
2Practice your skiing skills. Although you do not need to be an expert to be a ski instructor, you need to be a high intermediate skier. Many people take ski lessons to advance their skills beyond those of a beginning skier. Learn and perfect a couple of complex moves that you can teach your customers. This will also help in attracting and keeping your clientele.
3Become certified as a level 1 ski instructor. A level 1 certification includes a ski instructor course and allows you to teach beginning and novice skiers. In order to earn a level 1 certification you must be able to demonstrate a basic knowledge of the sport and know how to interpret the snow as it pertains to teaching. If desired, after working as a novice ski instructor for at least 1 year, you can become certified as a level 2 instructor. This certification requires that you are able to teach your clientele proper ski technique and how to choose appropriate ski equipment. You must pass a 3-day exam in order to earn this certification. Level 3 is the highest certification you can earn. In order to reach this certification, you must be an expert skier and pass a 4-day exam that very few skiers pass on the first try.
4Apply for a job as a ski instructor. It is best to do this during the summer months, as ski resorts want to be fully staffed by the first snowfall. There is usually not a predetermined opening date for ski resorts, as the weather cannot be accurately predicted that far in advance. Keep in mind when applying for jobs that the best paying positions will be given to applicants with the highest level of certification. As your teaching experience and certification level improves so will your pay.
5Keep current on the latest ski methods. Trends are constantly changing so your ski style will need to also. Take as many training classes as you can to learn new styles and teaching methods. This will keep you competitive with other ski instructors and improve your reputation, which will also increase your clientele.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- It is best to learn how to become a ski instructor from a level 3 certified trainer. If given the opportunity, interview a level 3 certified ski instructor to find out what methods worked best for them.

16GB flash-based video iPods in the works?
updated 01:40 pm EST, Wed December 6, 2006
16GB Flash Video iPods
Apple is likely to produce a video-capable iPod using 16GB of flash memory, according to a research note from W. R. Hambrecht analyst Daniel Amir. While most experts studying the computer company in advance of MacWorld San Francisco are focusing primarily on the heavily anticipated iPhone, Amir believes that Apple will introduce a player that merges the video capabilities of full-size iPods with the smaller and skip-proof flash memory of the iPod nano. The media player should be released in the first quarter of 2007, according to the analyst, which places its launch in the same timeframe as the Apple phone. Pricing and other details were not mentioned in the note.

Do you make this mistake with your marketing?
Today's post will show you how to avoid one of the most common and damaging mistakes, service providers suffer from online.
The problem
All service providers claim to offer a professional, high quality service, yet many of them make this claim, from an amateur looking blog or website. We call this a fractured message. It's where their words say one thing, but their online appearance says the opposite. It's the equivalent of being offered advice on how to quit smoking, from a person with a cigarette in their mouth!
No matter how powerful your marketing message is, it's of zero value when your prospective clients don't take it seriously. When your prospects arrive on your website or blog, the first thing that hits them is the overall look of your site. Just think how many sites YOU visit, then click away from in seconds, because they look amateurish! You can't afford to lose potential client inquiries like that – No one can.
Your online marketing needs to be presented to your prospective clients, via a professional looking website or blog, which reinforces the quality of your services and the message of your marketing, not a site that damages it.
The answer
Thankfully, even if you are on a restricted budget, there is an answer that I can highly recommend to you. It's a piece of software that allows you to build websites or blogs yourself, which look amazing, without you needing to know how to write code!
The software is called Headway and it allows you to build professional looking sites and blogs, by simply dragging, dropping and mouse-clicking. How good is Headway? It's so good that I was able to build this site and one of the world's most popular marketing blogs using it, even though I can't write a line of code. You can watch a video of Headway in action, here. By the way, it's the only product I have ever been an affiliate of; that's how highly I value it.
Building your online marketing on an amateur looking site or blog, is worse than worthless to you. If it was worthless, it would simply provide you with no real value, however, working off an amateur site will actively damage your reputation too.
The bottom line: Your website or blog is the foundation of your Internet marketing. It's crazy to market professional services, off an unprofessional looking site. It's also totally unnecessary, thanks to Headway!

Most analysts would say "the country would never elect another Bush as president." They are nuts. Bush could debate Obama in a manner that would shock not only Democrats, but moderates as well. This guy is fast on his feet, knows public policy inside and out, and is no stranger to the presidency.
As for any comparisons to his father or brother and their presidencies, the nation would get a taste of the best of both men. There would be no question about whether Jeb Bush could meet the interests of the conservative side of the GOP. The good news is that he is strong in his convictions, and he is able to articulate them in a very positive way. There would be no ability for the press to unfairly characterize him as inarticulate or not bright. They got away with it to some extent under his brother's administration -- which is pretty ironic because they drooled over interviews with him when he released his autobiography.
In the case of Jeb Bush, it is obvious you are dealing with a very smart guy who will get the best of most in any press conference or tangle with the media. It would be a blast to watch the media's frustration trying to deal with him.
The real issue is whether anyone could convince Bush to accept a nomination in 2012.
