How do we learn? Understanding 'how' is the key to learning more effectively. This unit looks at the three main categories of theories: the acquisitive, constructivist and experiential models of learning. There is no right way to learn but developing an active approach will ensure that you are open to new ideas.
After completing this unit you should be able to:
- assess your learning styles and capabilities, using a learning file in which to record your progress;
- describe the main definitions of learning as a process, and the role played by memorising, understanding and doing;
- explain the three main categories of theories about learning, namely the acquisitive, constructivist and experiential models of learning;
- discuss the main conceptions of managing as an activity, and how systems thinking and practice benefit from learning by experience.

This unit has been written because it is all too easy not to take an active approach to learning, thinking and doing, merely reading information but not actively engaging with it. The unit itself is a mixture of the theoretical and the practical, the academic and the vocational, and the readings that follow are designed to stimulate an active approach to learning, thinking and doing. There is no right way of engaging with the material covered in this unit – you have your own reasons for studying it and your own favoured styles of working.
This unit deals with the strategies for coping with the demands of learning, but does not cover the tactics required for successful learning. It does not cover specific study skills such as note taking, effective writing or preparing for assignments. If you believe that you need to learn, or brush up on, these types of skills then you are strongly advised to get a copy of The Sciences Good Study Guide by Northedge, Thomas, Lane and Peasgood, 1997, Open University, ISBN 9780749234119.

Witchdoctors raze church of rivalComment on this story
Mbabane: A Christian church in Mambane in northern Swaziland was destroyed at the weekend by a group of witchdoctors under orders from the area's chief. The Pool of Bed Church, under the leadership of a self-described prophetess, Siyinile Mhlanga, was proving too much competition for the traditional healers, known as tinyanga.
"We were losing customers because the people are flocking to be cured with the miracle power of the prophetess instead of relying on our magical potions," Jabu Ndwandwe, a witchdoctor, said. "Our magic is (founded) on the ancestors and is tried and true. But people always like new things. We had to destroy that church to save our practices."
The area's inner council authorised the church's demolition and summoned Mhlanga to a hearing before the Mambane community on Sunday. However, Mhlanga arrived alone, breaching customary protocol.
"My husband is in South Africa," she explained to the tribunal.
The council ordered her to return with her husband later this week. In Swazi law, women are legal minors and cannot speak for themselves. A husband is required to represent his wife at official hearings and must sign contracts for her.
Mhlanga admitted that from the time she started performing healing miracles in the area, business had dropped for the witchdoctors. She did not divulge the nature of the miracle cures, citing prophetess-client confidentiality.
The church's congregation has swollen to 500 in recent weeks, about a quarter of the area's population. – Independent Foreign Service.

Ron Burgundy will take over Emerson College for one day only as it's school of communications will be renamed after the man himself!
Picture: Will Ferrell - 20th MTV Europe Music Awards held at Ziggo Dome - Arrivals - Amsterdam, Netherlands - Sunday 10th November 2013
Ron Burgundy is already a big deal but now he will be a huge one!
The fictional news anchor, from Will Ferrell's hugely popular comedy 'Anchorman', will be honoured by Emerson College on December 4th.
According to The Associated Press, the college in Boston will rename its communications school for one whole day.
The college's school of communication will be renamed the 'Ron Burgundy School of Communication'.
Ferrell will appear at the college on Dec 4th, but he will be in character for all of the day's events.
'Burgundy' is scheduled to speak to the Emerson students about his successful career in journalism and how he achieved it, Ron is, after all, "kind of a big deal".
This should be hilarious!
The Channel 4 news team leader is also expected to hold a news conference for the renaming ceremony as well as a screening of 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,' in which Ferrell will introduce as himself.
College President Lee Pelton expressed his thought on Burgundy, stating he "understands the power of media, as well as hairspray, firsthand."
Ferrell will attend the college as Ron Burgundy
Ron is also looking forward to the chance of speaking with aspiring students as he wants to inform them how tough it will be to get to the top , "especially if you don't have good hair."
Lately Burgundy has stepped away from the news desk to venture into other business opportunities. The television broadcaster has filmed several trailers for car company 'Dodge' and will be the face of their new 2014 Dodge Durango ad campaign.
Ron has also decided to pen his own memoirs titles entitled 'Let Me Off At The Top!: My Classy Life and Other Musing'. It will cover "never-before-told stories of his childhood" and his rise to the "greatest living news anchor," as well as tales of his beloved news team.
Burgundy will next star in 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' which is set to hot theatres on 20th December 2013.

The Hans E. Einstein, MD
Memorial Lectureship
at Barlow Respiratory Hospital
Every year, Barlow Respiratory Hospital extends the invitation to our pulmonary / critical care community to join with colleagues for an evening of networking and science on the historic Barlow campus.
In 2001, Barlow Respiratory Hospital was pleased to honor Hans E. Einstein, MD for his pioneering contributions and longstanding dedication to the advancement of medicine. The CME accredited scientific session presented at the Annual Meeting of the Medical Staff was named the Hans E. Einstein, MD Lectureship. It was renamed as a memorial lectureship after Dr. Einstein passed away in August 2012.
A cousin of Albert Einstein, Dr. Hans Einstein was no stranger to being an innovator in his field. A Southern California resident since 1951, Dr. Einstein devoted more than half a century to developments and improvements in diagnosing and treating many well-known and costly diseases, including tuberculosis, AIDS and Valley Fever. A local medical legend and international expert in Valley Fever, Dr. Einstein was instrumental in spreading knowledge of the disease to the Southern California community, as it is a disease endemic to the geographic area. He oversaw clinical trials that resulted in one of the disease's most effective treatments to date, and continued to devote his time to the development of a vaccine to help further control this serious disease.
For more than 30 years, Dr. Einstein shared with Barlow Respiratory Hospital his medical expertise and commitment to quality care, formerly serving as Medical Director and CEO, and as a member of the Barlow Respiratory Hospital Board of Directors.
Beyond Barlow, Dr. Einstein's career serving the Southern California medical community included four decades as physician and educator at USC's Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center, and several decades directing staff and education programs at The Hospital of the Good Samaritan in Los Angeles as well as Kern Medical Center, Mercy Hospital, San Joaquin Community Hospital and Greater Bakersfield Memorial Hospital in Bakersfield. He was a professor at California State University in Bakersfield. His responsibilities also included president and fellow of numerous regional and national professional organizations and reviewer and consultant for several prestigious medical journals. An international consultant, Dr. Einstein was invited by China to visit and serve as an advisor to recommend changes to the hospital and healthcare system in Macao.
Dr. Einstein established an educational scholarship fund for aspiring medical students and continued to teach at local universities well into his later years, including USC School of Medicine where he held the title of Professor Emeritus. Beyond his commitment to community, Dr. Einstein was a devoted family man, father of five daughters and proud grandfather.

Here is my procedure. My climate is very dry so left to their own many prints will curl until their corners touch.
1. I dry them between two clean screens. This has never left a mark. They come out flat with a bit of wave. This part is important as trying to press a seriously curly print often damages some emulsions by cracking it, especially the corners.
2. After they are dry I put them in a hot press and then pull it from the the press and let it cool under some books. The cooling part is important, because if the print is allowed to cool without being held flat, it will have a tendency to get back a little of its curl. By doing this they come out as flat as can be. On occasion if I don't mount them, they will curl back up very slightly. Mounting, or another session in the press cures that.

Article: Sorbitol Dehydrogenase Overexpression and Other Aspects of Dysregulated Protein Expression in Human Precancerous Colorectal Neoplasms: A Quantitative Proteomics Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Colorectal adenomas are cancer precursor lesions of the large bowel. A multitude of genomic and epigenomic changes have been documented in these preinvasive lesions, but their impact on the protein effectors of biological function has not been comprehensively explored. Using shotgun quantitative MS, we exhaustively investigated the proteome of 30 colorectal adenomas and paired samples of normal mucosa. Total protein extracts were prepared from these tissues (prospectively collected during colonoscopy) and from normal (HCEC) and cancerous (SW480, SW620, Caco2, HT29, CX1) colon epithelial cell lines. Peptides were labeled with isobaric tags (iTRAQ 8-plex), separated by OFFGEL electrophoresis, and analyzed by LC-coupled tandem MS. Non-redundant protein families (4325 in tissues, 2017 in cell lines) were identified and quantified. Principal component analysis of the results clearly distinguished adenomas from normal mucosal samples, and cancer cell lines from HCEC cells. Two hundred twelve proteins displayed significant adenoma-related expression changes (q-value < 0.02, mean fold change vs. normal mucosa +/-1.4), which correlated (r=0.74) with similar changes previously identified by our group at the transcriptome level. Fifty-one (~25%) proteins displayed directionally similar expression changes in colorectal cancer cells (vs. HCEC cells) and were therefore attributed to the epithelial component of adenomas. Although benign, adenomas already exhibited cancer-associated proteomic changes: 69 (91%) of the 76 protein upregulations identified in these lesions have already been reported in cancers. One of the most striking changes involved sorbitol dehydrogenase (SORD), a key enzyme in the polyol pathway. Validation studies revealed dramatically increased SORD concentrations and activity in adenomas and cancer cell lines, along with important changes in the expression of other enzymes in the same (AKR1B1) and related (KHK) pathways. Dysregulated polyol metabolism may represent a novel facet of the metabolome remodeling associated with tumorigenesis.Molecular & Cellular Proteomics 02/2014; 13(5).

Article: Endoscopic resection for superficial colorectal neoplasia in Italy: A prospective multicentre study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Since there are few prospective studies on colorectal endoscopic resection to date, we aimed to prospectively assess safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection in a cohort of Italian patients. Methods Prospective multicentre assessment of resection of sessile polyps or non-polypoid lesions ≥ 10 mm in size or smaller (if depressed). Outcome measures included complete excision, morbidity, mortality, and residual/recurrence at 12 months. Results Overall, 1012 resections in 928 patients were analysed (62.4% sessile polyps, 28.8% laterally spreading tumours, 8.7% depressed non-polypoid lesions). Lesions were prevalent in the proximal colon. Enbloc resection was possible in 715/1012 cases (70.7%), whereas piecemeal resection was required in 297 (29.3%). Endoscopically complete excision was achieved in 866 cases (85.6%). Adverse events occurred in 83 (8.2%), and no deaths occurred. Independent predictors of 12-month residual/recurrence were the location of the lesion in the proximal colon (OR 2.22 [95% CI 1.16–4.26]; p = 0.015) and piecemeal endoscopic resection (OR 2.76 [95% CI 1.56–4.87]; p = 0.0005). Limitations of the study were: potential expertise bias, no data on eligible and potentially resectable excluded lesions, high percentage of lesions < 20 mm, follow-up limited to 1 year. Conclusion In this registry study the endoscopic resection of colorectal lesions was safe and achieved high rates of long-term endoscopic clearance.Digestive and Liver Disease 02/2014; 46(2):146–151.

Article: A comprehensive look at transcription factor gene expression changes in colorectal adenomas[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Biological processes are controlled by transcription networks. Expression changes of transcription factor (TF) genes in precancerous lesions are therefore crucial events in tumorigenesis. Our aim was to obtain a comprehensive picture of these changes in colorectal adenomas. Using a 3-pronged selection procedure, we analyzed transcriptomic data on 34 human tissue samples (17 adenomas and paired samples of normal mucosa, all collected with ethics committee approval and written, informed patient consent) to identify TFs with highly significant tumor-associated gene expression changes whose potential roles in colorectal tumorigenesis have been under-researched. Microarray data were subjected to stringent statistical analysis of TF expression in tumor vs. normal tissues, MetaCore-mediated identification of TF networks displaying enrichment for genes that were differentially expressed in tumors, and a novel quantitative analysis of the publications examining the TF genes' roles in colorectal tumorigenesis. The 261 TF genes identified with this procedure included DACH1, which plays essential roles in the proper proliferation and differentiation of retinal and leg precursor cell populations in Drosophila melanogaster. Its possible roles in colorectal tumorigenesis are completely unknown, but it was found to be markedly overexpressed (mRNA and protein) in all colorectal adenomas and in most colorectal carcinomas. However, DACH1 expression was absent in some carcinomas, most of which were DNA mismatch-repair deficient. When networks were built using the set of TF genes identified by all three selection procedures, as well as the entire set of transcriptomic changes in adenomas, five hub genes (TGFB1, BIRC5, MYB, NR3C1, and TERT) where identified as putatively crucial components of the adenomatous transformation process. The transcription-regulating network of colorectal adenomas (compared with that of normal colorectal mucosa) is characterized by significantly altered expression of over 250 TF genes, many of which have never been investigated in relation to colorectal tumorigenesis.BMC Cancer 01/2014; 14(1):46.

Article: Epigenetic silencing of monoallelically methylated miRNA loci in precancerous colorectal lesions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Epigenetic silencing of protein-encoding genes is common in early-stage colorectal tumorigenesis. Less is known about the methylation-mediated silencing of genes encoding microRNAs (miRNAs), which are also important epigenetic modulators of gene expression. Using quantitative PCR, we identified 56 miRNAs that were expressed in normal colorectal mucosa and in HT29 colorectal cancer cells treated with demethylating agents but not in untreated HT29 cells, suggesting that they probably undergo methylation-induced silencing during colorectal tumorigenesis. One of these, miR-195, had recently been reported to be underexpressed in colorectal cancers and to exert tumor-suppressor effects in colorectal cancer cells. We identified the transcription start site (TSS) for primary miRNA (pri-miR)-497/195, the primary precursor that yields miR-195 and another candidate on our list, miR-497, and a single CpG island upstream to the TSS, which controls expression of both miRNAs. Combined bisulfite restriction analysis and bisulfite genomic sequencing studies revealed monoallelic methylation of this island in normal colorectal mucosa (50/50 samples) and full methylation in most colorectal adenomas (38/50; 76%). The hypermethylated precancerous lesions displayed significantly downregulated expression of both miRNAs. Similar methylation patterns were observed at two known imprinted genes, MEG3 and GNAS-AS1, which encode several of the 56 miRNAs on our list. Imprinting at these loci was lost in over half the adenomas (62% at MEG3 and 52% at GNAS-AS1). Copy-number alterations at MEG3, GNAS-AS1 and pri-miR-497/195, which are frequent in colorectal cancers, were less common in adenomas and confined to tumors displaying differential methylation at the involved locus. Our data show that somatically acquired, epigenetic changes at monoallelically methylated regions encoding miRNAs are relatively frequent in sporadic colorectal adenomas and might contribute to the onset and progression of these tumors.Oncogenesis 07/2013; 2(7):e56.

Article: Molecular pathways undergoing dramatic transcriptomic changes during tumor development in the human colon[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The malignant transformation of precancerous colorectal lesions involves progressive alterations at both the molecular and morphologic levels, the latter consisting of increases in size and in the degree of cellular atypia. Analyzing preinvasive tumors of different sizes can therefore shed light on the sequence of these alterations. METHODS: We used a molecular pathway-based approach to analyze transcriptomic profiles of 59 colorectal tumors representing early and late preinvasive stages and the invasive stage of tumorigenesis. Random set analysis was used to identify biological pathways enriched for genes differentially regulated in tumors (compared with 59 samples of normal mucosa). RESULTS: Of the 880 canonical pathways we investigated, 112 displayed significant tumor-related upregulation or downregulation at one or more stages of tumorigenesis. This allowed us to distinguish between pathways whose dysregulation is probably necessary throughout tumorigenesis and those whose involvement specifically drives progression from one stage to the next. We were also able to pinpoint specific changes within each gene set that seem to play key roles at each transition. The early preinvasive stage was characterized by cell-cycle checkpoint activation triggered by DNA replication stress and dramatic downregulation of basic transmembrane signaling processes that maintain epithelial/stromal homeostasis in the normal mucosa. In late preinvasive lesions, there was also downregulation of signal transduction pathways (e.g., those mediated by G proteins and nuclear hormone receptors) involved in cell differentiation and upregulation of pathways governing nuclear envelope dynamics and the G2>M transition in the cell cycle. The main features of the invasive stage were activation of the G1>S transition in the cell cycle, upregulated expression of tumor-promoting microenvironmental factors, and profound dysregulation of metabolic pathways (e.g., increased aerobic glycolysis, downregulation of pathways that metabolize drugs and xenobiotics). CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis revealed specific pathways whose dysregulation might play a role in each transition of the transformation process. This is the first study in which such an approach has been used to gain further insights into colorectal tumorigenesis. Therefore, these data provide a launchpad for further exploration of the molecular characterization of colorectal tumorigenesis using systems biology approaches.BMC Cancer 12/2012; 12(1):608.

Article: Interobserver agreement among endoscopists on evaluation of polypoid colorectal lesions visualized with the Pentax i-Scan technique[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Advances in colonoscopy, such as the Pentax i-Scan electronic technique, have the potential to improve the early detection of colorectal cancer. The aim of this multicentre study was to assess the interobserver agreement in the visualization of the surface and margins of colorectal polyps and in distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic polyps. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eight expert endoscopists examined 400 mixed previously recorded images of polyps taken with different Pentax i-Scan settings in order to give an evaluation of the surface of the polyp and regular colonic mucosa, the pit-pattern and the nature of the lesion. RESULTS: A total of 400 mixed images of polyps with a diameter >5mm and <10mm were stored for analysis. Overall, there was a K(f) agreement of 0.370 (p<0.001) and 0.306 (p<0.001) regarding pit-pattern and margins, respectively. The K(f) agreement for the difference between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions was of 0.446 (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We observed good interobserver agreement in the evaluation of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions and poor agreement in the evaluation of pit-pattern and margins. Adequate training is required in order to interpret images acquired with the i-Scan technique.Digestive and Liver Disease 10/2012; 45(3). DOI:10.1016/j.dld.2012.09.012 · 2.96 Impact Factor

Article: The Cooperative Italian FLIN Study Group: Prevalence and clinico-pathological features of colorectal laterally spreading tumors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are increasingly recognized as important precursors of colorectal carcinoma. The clinical behavior of these large nonpolypoid lesions is still uncertain. The aim of the present study was to assess prevalence and clinico-pathological features of LSTs in a large Italian cohort of patients. The study was a subgroup analysis of a large database of patients undergoing total colonoscopy. The database originated from a multicenter cross-sectional observational study involving 80 centers throughout Italy. Data from 27,400 total colonoscopies were analyzed. Precancerous lesions were detected in 5609 patients. Of these, LSTs were identified in 254 patients (4.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.5-6.2). Granular-type LSTs (G-LSTs) accounted for 83% of the cases (211/254). LSTs were predominant in the proximal colon (154, 60.6%). A total 231 lesions were endoscopically removed, with histology being available for 242. Neoplasia was confirmed in 225 lesions (93.4%) (143 low grade adenoma, 76 high grade adenoma, and six submucosal cancer). The six cases of submucosally invasive carcinoma were diagnosed in five G-LST and one nongranular LST (NG-LST). The risk of containing advanced histology was not increased in G-LST compared with NG-LST (odds ratio [OR] 1.55, 95%CI 0.73-3.27); it was significantly higher in lesions with large nodules (OR 3.09, 95%CI 1.05-9.04; P = 0.041) or depressed surface (OR 4.27, 95%CI 1.24-14.61; P = 0.021). LSTs represent approximately 5% of all precancerous colorectal lesions in the Italian population and are prevalent in the proximal colon. These lesions are no more likely to harbor advanced histology than similar-sized polypoid lesions. Large nodularity or depressed surface are risk factors for advanced histology.Endoscopy 08/2011; 43(10):856-61. DOI:10.1055/s-0030-1256639 · 5.05 Impact Factor

Post Combine - You asked for it, You got it! GIF MOCK!
Ok No one asked for it but I see the look in your eyes. Hope this is entertaining and close to what you would want for your team .
Each pick gets a GIF this time around. I put notes next to picks that I felt needed a little explaining. If you got a question on your pick Ill happily give you my reasoning. If you feel you can school me on why my pick is no good, Im all ears.
1. Kansas City Chiefs OT Eric Fisher Central Michigan ( I have a feeling he will end up going #1 overall OT and it is time to learn how to smile again Im looking at your VIDAE!)
2. Jacksonville Jags DT Sharrif Floyd Florida
3. Oakland Raiders DE Dion Jordan Oregon
4. Philadelphia Eagles DT Star Lotulelei Utah (Almost gave them Joeckel but I figure the return of Jason Peters will let them wait for RT in 2nd)
5. Detroit Lions CB Dee Milliner Alabama (The CB need outweighs the DE need IMO)
6. Cleveland Browns DE Bjoern Werner Florida State
7. Arizona Cardinals OT Luke Joeckel Texas A&M (Arizona pleasantly surprised they get their future OT at #7)
8. Buffalo Bills OLB Barkevious Mingo LSU (Back and Forth with him and Jones Mingo won out due to medical red flags)
9. New York Jets QB Geno Smith West Virginia (You know what Rex needs to take a chance to save his job. Hit on Geno contract extension.) AND THE DAILY DOUBLE BONUS GIF OF THE DAY!
10. Tennessee Titans DE Ezekial Ansah BYU
11. San Diego Chargers OG Chance Warmack Alabama
12. Miami Dolphins - WR Cordarrelle Patterson Tennessee (Unfortunately, We will have to do this at my best friends house if they take Patterson)
13. Tampa Bay Bucs CB Xavier Rhodes FSU (Physical CB just the way the coach likes them)
14. Carolina Panthers S Kenny Vaccaro Texas (Rebuilding that defense with a QB of the defensive backfield)
15. New Orleans Saints- DT Sheldon Richardson Mizzou (He is falling recently, but plug him in the middle of your defense and you should have a stud for years)
16. St.Louis Rams WR Keenan Allen California (#1 WR for Mr.Bradford)
17. Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Jarvis Jones Georgia (Jarvis Jones ,Lawrence Timmons,Lamar Woodley .scary right?)
18. Dallas Cowboys DE Damontre Moore Texas A&M (He is falling now but he might regain some steam after a steady Pro Day.)
19. New York Giants DE Tank Carradine - FSU (Up 6 spots from last mock and rising)
20. Chicago Bears OT Lane Johnson Oklahoma (Somewhere Jcut is smiling.)
21. Cincinnati Bengals ILB Kevin Minter LSU
22. St.Louis Rams OT DJ Fluker Alabama (Some protection for Mr.Bradford)
23. Minnesota Vikings - WR DeAndre Hopkins Clemson (Percy,Hopkins,AD Youre welcome Ponder)
24. Indianapolis Colts OG Jonathon Cooper North Carolina
25. Seattle Seahawks DE Alec Olgetree Georgia (His stupidity cost him some money but the talent will still get him taken in 1st rnd by a coach that can handle his personality.)
26. Houston Texans S Eric Reid LSU ( I just feel like he is a strong fit for that Houston defense and a solid safety that will be a factor right away.)
27. Green Bay Packers RB Gio Benard North Carolina (Playmaker RB to finally go with their explosive offense)
28. Denver Broncos DT Jonathon Hankins Ohio State
29. New England Patriots WR Tavon Austin West Virginia (As a Bills fan, Im scared.)
30. Atlanta Falcons RB Eddy Lacy Alabama (If they dont get S-Jax in FA)
31. San Francisco 49ers CB Desmond Trufant Washington
32. Baltimore Ravens MLB Arthur Brown Kansas State (Heir apparent to Ray.)
Perfect Bears pick!!
No thanks on richardson, doesnt really fit a 34 at all. jones plz
BEST. MOCK. EVER!!!! Loved it!! My reaction would be a mix of the Miami gif and the Indy gif!
Nice work!
the giants gif is maddd funny
dig the pats pick
If the Bears got Lane Johnson, I'd drop trou and start wanking. Don't even care where I am.
This is sooo the reaction I see Pats fans having if they get Austin. Smug on top of smug.
Like the visual aids.
Love the GIFs but I don't think an OT, any OT, will put a smile on the face of vidae or any Chiefs fan on this board. Let Albert walk and draft an OT is still a lateral move. What a waste of the #1 overall.
With as deep as this draft class is at RB, the Packers addressing the position in round one is less than ideal.
Moore who has had a pathetic off-season over an elite Guard prospect in Cooper for the Cowboys? Complete FAIL. No other explanation is needed, Moore is likely a late 1st rd guy now and Cooper should be gone in the top 20.
great sf pick!
(Good Chiefs pick if Branden Albert walks I guess, but I won't be smiling.)
And seriously every post game interview win or loss - McCarthy would always have a remark of how disappointed he was in the running game.
And yes I thought of O-Line help but I don't think Cooper is as elite you are saying either.
Kevin Minter is better suited for a 34.
As a Bengals fan I would still want Ogletree over Minter!!!
Mia Pick
I think Miami might be another team that trys to fix there problems with FA & just like your call on ATL I would say the same for them.. if they dont sign Wallace or Jennings they go WR... other than that I like it
Pick and GIF are 49er fan approved.
can't see ATL going with a RB. they need one yes, but no RB (including Lacy) fits for their first round pick.

In his new book, Market Madness: A Century of Oil Panics, Crises, and Crashes, Council on Foreign Relations Fellow and Citigroup Analyst Blake Clayton shows that over the last 100 years, many fell prey to fears that the world's oil is dwindling and prices are doomed to rise.
In Market Madness: A Century of Oil Panics, Crises, and Crashes, stock analyst Blake C. Clayton tempers the craze surrounding oil exhaustion through a combination of historical investigation and sober, persuasive analysis. His book is a lucid, credible riposte to apocalyptic ravings about "peak oil." Clayton examines how such panics have persisted through the decades, all unfounded, yet devastating to the market. Market Madness enjoins consumers, policymakers, and brokers to abstain from hysteria and remain informed about what the future of energy truly holds.
After three years of unusual stability around $100 a barrel, oil prices fell steeply in the second half of 2014, dropping from $115 a barrel in June to around $60 by December. With oil critical to national economies, international security and climate change, what does the apparent new world of oil mean?

Blind focus on markets just as risky as manipulation and collusion, writes Michael Levi
Last month, Soma Oil and Gas, a London based energy company, searching for hydrocarbon deposits off the coast of Somalia, announced that it had completed a seismic survey to ascertain the potential for recoverable oil and gas deposits. Although further details have yet to be released, chief executive Rob Sheppard announced that the results were encouraging. However, Somalia, and potential investors, should proceed with caution when considering entering this frontier market.
U.S. policymakers who worry about the impact of energy developments on geopolitics typically think of high oil prices as bad news and low prices as an unalloyed good. But a sustained drop in oil prices can be dangerous as well. This paper investigates Mexican vulnerability to falling oil prices—and spillovers to the United States—to show how troublesome such a development might be.

In the thousands of interviews that I have had with potential clients over the past 33 years that I have been practicing law, I have noticed that most people don't ask enough questions about the attorney that they are considering to retain.
Questions that probably should be inquired of any potential attorney would include the following:
1. Would you take my case to trial if it can't be settled? If so, will it cost me more, and if so, why?
2. How many cases like this have you tried in your legal career?
3. How many cases similar to mine have you handled in your legal career?
4. What can you do to make the case more economical for me to take to court?
5. Would you consider taking the case for a lesser fee than what you are now quoting me?
6. How would you propose to handle my case if I were to retain you?
7. What will I owe if there is no recovery on the case?
Unless it is for a very minor matter, costing a minimal amount, clients should insist on a written retainer agreement being signed, and they should read it before signing it. Don't be pressured into signing a retainer agreement in the attorney's offices the first time that you meet with him or her. If you do sign a retainer agreement, make sure you get a copy for yourself.
Don't be afraid to first discuss the subject of retaining a potential attorney with someone that you trust, be it a friend or relative or spouse. Don't be afraid to bring that person with you when you visit the attorney, so that you can both ask questions.
If the legal matter contemplates your being billed for fees and/or costs on a periodic basis, make sure that you let the attorney know that you expect to receive monthly billings. Review them when you get them and don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand the billing. A client shouldn't be charged by the attorney for answering questions relating to their bill.
Beware of attorneys that promise results that sound too good to be true on the front end, before all of the evidence and discovery pertinent to your legal matter are on the table. Litigation can be affected (for better or worse) by all sorts of factors once the case gets underway.
Beware of attorneys who profess to "specialize"
Lastly, an attorney that you can't reach on the telephone or by appointment is the functional equivalent of not retaining an attorney at all.
Communication and questions are a client's best safeguard to obtaining competent legal counsel to handle their particular legal problem.

I have a 54cm windsor tourist.. great bike.. always thought it was on the heavy side. Walked into REI and checked out their 56cm LHT and CC.. WOW those bikes felt like they were at least 10 lbs lighter! Sure, mine had plastic fenders, pedals, an aluminum rear rack, and a greenfield kickstand.. surely those weights added up can't make up the weight difference right!? I also didn't think there would be that much weight difference between the naked frames..
I wonder if the windsor was shipped with cheap heavy rims.. Any ideas? What would likely by the components making up the weight difference?

"When you're looking at truth versus gossip, truth doesn't stand a chance," Barbara Mikkelson tells the New York Times; husband David adds, "People keep falling for the same kind of things over and over again." Those "things" commonly involve moneymaking scams or swine flu vaccine rumors, but the site took a turn for the political after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, when the Mikkelsons were barraged with email forwards from concerned users. Rumors about President Obama are now the site's top searches. "Especially in politics, most everything has infinite shades of gray to it, but people just want things to be true or false," David says. "In the larger sense, it's people wanting confirmation of their world view." The Snopes.com logo. (Snopes.com) Snopes.com examines the Nigerian scam.

reply to post by Cuervo
The lesson to be learned is by observing the season and seeing that death is required for the new birth of the following year. For me, it's much deeper than that but that is what is common among many who celebrate it as Samhain.
Has anyone mentioned yet that it's pronounced "SOW-an"?
Brightest, cuervo.
reply to post by WarminIndy
Some are Gardenian Wiccans, while some are eclectic or solitary.
Yes. LOTS are 'eclectic' and 'solitary'. The latter is what I practiced.
Meaning, you do whatever seems to 'fit' with your understanding of the elemental-force access. It varies for EVERYONE....
just like Christians aren't all the same.

Looking at colourful board books is a great quiet-time activity to do together. There's no better way to instil a love of reading in your little one.
Good for age: 13 months (but older and younger kids might enjoy it, too!)
Skills developed: language, love of books, attention, relaxation
What you'll need: a favourite book or two and a comfortable place to sit (try making a cosy "book nook" in the corner with some large floor cushions)
What to do: Make reading more interactive by pointing things out in the pictures: "This is a big dog, just like Grandma's dog." Or, "There's the baby's nose. And here's your nose!" You can also let your toddler be the pointer, as you ask him, "Where's the moon?" or "Can you point to the green ball?"
Your toddler might enjoy turning the pages himself. Don't worry if he turns them before you've finished reading the sentence. The important thing is that he enjoys story time, even if it means you only read bits and pieces of the story. He's probably taking in more than you realise.

Hi guys, I just bought a reconditioned carburettor for my old 1978 mazda 929 wagon... the old one is starting to show its age, and the new one was pretty cheap...
Its coming in the mail at the moment... BUT doh! I forgot to read the small print before purchasing! it says it'll fit the 2.0 litre MA engine, not the 1.8VC which is what I've got! ops:
Can I make this one fit? or do i need the intake manifold from an MA engine? Will the Air filter from the VC carb fit? :roll:
Thanks guys!

One hundred and twenty-five years ago, the first cornerstone was laid for Emmanuel Episcopal Church -- the oldest church building in the village of East Syracuse. On Nov. 9, Father Gerry Beritela, church vicar, Bishop Gladstone "Skip" Adams and members of the parish celebrated its longevity with a worship service and dedication.
"The vestry has taken a strong lead in putting this all together," Beritela said of the event. "We've had a committee working on all aspects of it."
The worship service, held Sunday morning, included a confirmation ceremony as well as a reception of new members to the Episcopal Church. Beritela, the church vicar since 2002, said he hoped families would walk away from the celebration with a sense of hope for the future and a renewed joy and faith.
"We're not just celebrating the building," Beritela said. "We're celebrating the faith and the ministry of all those who have come before us, and the faith and the ministry of all those who are being fed and nourished here [now]. We're kind of blending those notions of the church as not just the building, but it's the families, the people that have been called to worship, and called to put together this building as a sacrament of their life in Christ."
