Feel Free in the Real Sense of the Word with Anonymous Text Messaging
If you are an avid movie goer, you must have watched umpteen melodramas involving the lead characters in a dilemma to express themselves before each other. It was very much an issue in yesteryears to express oneself freely, as one faced the threat of an aversive counter response. However, thanks to advent of Internet and then prevalence of services to send anonymous text has eliminated the issue for today's generation forever.
Nowadays, if something is bothering you and you wish to speak your mind but fear repercussions, you can always send anonymous text by email or phone. There are umpteen sites out there that provide the service of sending anonymous text for you for a nominal fee or no cost at all. These sites assure to keep your identity a secret as they send your message across.
You can send your message by email by providing the email address of the person whom you wish to contact. You can send anonymous text over the phone upon providing the other person's mobile phone number. You can also send USPS post to the physical address of the person you wish to communicate with, without revealing your identity to the other person, thanks to the feature service.
You could not have felt freer to speak your mind — complain openly, bitch eagerly, and confess bitterly – the best part is that you can say it all and yet remain anonymous, as if it was someone else. You can come out in the open against faltering authorities or bad governance without any fear of being penalized. You can also use the feature service for light entertainment, like send anonymous text to play a prank or exchange jokes between strangers through anonymous text.
Nonetheless, the service must not be used irresponsibly, ever. Any attempt to misuse the facility by sending illegal, threatening, obscene or obnoxious messages may invite serious action. Like the service provider may block you from using the facility anymore. The service provider may even give away your true identity to the aggrieved receiver so that he/ she may take necessary action to punish you.

|Wally Burnham
Courtesy: cyclones.com
Release: 02/17/2009
Wally Burnham brings more than 40 years of experience to Iowa State as the team's defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. That experience has played major dividends as the Cyclones made huge strides on defense en route to bowl berths in the Insight Bowl (2009), the New Era Pinstripe Bowl (2011) and the Liberty Bowl (2012) in his six seasons at Iowa State.
Burnham is the consummate teacher. Nothing affirms that more than the performance of his latest star pupils, Iowa State linebackers A.J. Klein, Jake Knott and Jeremiah George. The trio wasn't four-or five-star recruits coming out of high school, but all three ended up being All-Big 12 first-team linebackers (2011, 2012, 2013).
In his six seasons coaching the Cyclone linebackers, Burnham has produced four All-Big 12 first-team performers (Jesse Smith, Knott, Klein, George). From 1974-2008, Iowa State produced just two first-team all-league linebackers.
In 2014, free safety Kamari Cotton-Moya was a First-Team Freshman All-American by the FWAA and earned Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year honors.
Klein was named the 2011 co-Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2011 and a unanimous First-team All-Big 12 choice in 2012. He finished his career with 361 career stops and tied an NCAA career record for linebackers by returning four interceptions back for touchdowns. Knott was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 linebacker with 115 tackles in 2011 and finished his career with 347 tackles. The duo blossomed into two of the best linebackers in ISU history and steadily improved under the tutelage of Burnham, who has coached some of the best linebackers to ever play college football.
Burnham continued his amazing development at the linebacker spot in 2013 by mentoring George into an All-Big 12 First-Team pick. George, who led the Big 12 and ranked fourth nationally in tackles (11.1), ranked in the Big 12's top-10 (league games only) in tackles (1st, 11.8), tackles for loss (5th, 12.0), forced fumbles (4th, 3) and sacks (10th, 3.5). George played in the 2014 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
In 2013, Burnham and the Cyclones pitched their first defensive shutout in Big 12 play since 2001 in a 34-0 blanking of Kansas. It was the first shutout in Big 12 play in over two years and one of just six shutouts involving BCS conference teams in league play.
In 2012, the Cyclones finished third in the Big 12 in scoring, allowing just 23.9 points per game despite playing the nation's top offenses. Iowa State was fourth in the league in red zone defense, and against Big 12 competition, Iowa State ranked second in the league in turnover margin and second in red zone defense.
Defensive lineman Jake McDonough was a first-team all-Big 12 selection and safety Durrell Givens earned second-team honors.
There truly seems to be no end of Burnham's ability to transform good players into great ones.
The Cyclones have recorded 20+ takeaways in five of his six seasons in Ames.
Burnham came to Ames from South Florida, where he led a Bulls defense that ranked 10th nationally in 2008.
The stellar efforts of the 2008 South Florida defense followed in the footsteps of the 2007 Bull defenders. Led by All-Americans Mike Jenkins, George Selvie and All-Big East performers Ben Moffitt and Trae Williams, the defense led the country in fumbles recovered (19), tied for the lead in turnovers forced and was third in tackles for loss (113). Overall, the Bulls were 28th nationally in total defense and were especially stout in the running game, only allowing eight rushing TDs all season.
Prior to joining USF, Burnham was the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at South Carolina between 1994-98. Upon arriving at South Carolina, Burnham instituted a new 4-3 scheme for the Gamecocks, and he quickly molded what became to be considered the most improved defense in the SEC. A veteran of many bowl games, his NFL players include defensive back Deion Sanders, linebackers Derrick Brooks (Tampa Bay), Kawika Mitchell (Buffalo), Stephen Nicholas (Atlanta) and defensive back Mike Jenkins (Dallas).

If we talk about this one, the most quickly respond and glanced certainly women, especially teenagers, because usually the most dominant in following the trends that exist today are teenagers or young child. Due to the style of dress or dress is a trend today (in our opinion at any time until the trend would still hehehe), so this time we will provide an explanation of what it is fashion, here's the explanation:
In particular it can be said Fashion is a style of dress that is used every day by someone, be it in their daily lives or when certain events with the aim to support the appearance. Or the definition of fashion is the style of dress popular in a culture or as fashion. Some think that fashion is a style of dress that determine the appearance of an individual. Fashion word itself comes from the English language that can be interpreted as a fashion model, way, style or habit. Know what it is meant by Fashion. Nowadays fashion is closely related to lifestyle. Lifestyle of an individual can be judged on how he was dressed. Over time, too, lifestyle shows and determine the social status and occupation of an individual.
Fashion no danger associated with the style of dress, but also in relation to the style accessories, cosmetics, hairstyles and others that can support a person's appearance. Fashion that evolve over time, such as for example, when fashion in 2000 – an certainly very different from the previous era. In the era of 2000 – early or also called the Millennium era fashion lovers freed for expression in accordance with the wishes and to the personality of each. Ie mixing several modes from previous eras by using touch the future. Although at the moment well-known fashion brands release products appropriate to the season and the differences in theme, but in the end the decision to dressy depending on the users.
One hallmark of Indonesia namely Batik fashion. The fashion designer in the country has a lot of developing work of batik fashion so it looks more modern and does not look monotonous. As there are some batik suitable for use by the parents to go to certain events, and there is also a batik suitable for use by teens and some even can be used as an outfit to relax and not look formal. Because age is growing, batik-even more famous with a variety of models and can be combined with other clothing, such as jeans combined with that is a lot of teenagers or young child like this kind of pants. Surely it is not easy for designers in the country to introduce a typical Indonesian batik fashion to foreign countries to the famous. Currently batik clothing is one of the world's cultural heritage, has become a tremendous appreciation in the development of the fashion world.
Thus the explanation of the meaning of fashion that can be given to friends and hopefully be able to understand, and I apologize if there are errors or omissions in this explanation. So, thank you very much.

OK, I dropped my Trek computer at the end of last season, and now the display doesn't work, so I think it's toast.
My Ciclo Master isn't picking up anything, and yes, I've checked and replaced batteries, checked the magnet and sensor, etc. etc. etc. I'm afraid that the wiring harness is shot. So unless I can replace just the harness, I'm afraid that's shot.
So, time for a new computer. But since I know what I want I can't find it. Nothing super fancy, I'm afraid that I'm into cheap, but I want both auto on/off and scan. And I'll be darned if I can find a single computer on the market that has both. Maybe they're mutually exclusive. Maybe product descriptions just don't carry complete info.
Does anyone know if such a creature exists?

Luís Israel
El Sauce, Nicaragua
Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Luís Israel, 33, is the single father of a school-age child. To the extent possible, he has tried to give him the best education and nourishment.
He has worked as an elementary school teacher for 10 years in a region 10 kilometers from the town of El Sauce. He practices his profession painstakingly and enthusiastically, despite how rough the road to his school is. Every day he leaves home at 5 in the morning on his bike until he reaches a point at which he has to walk to get to his destination and be on time for school, because the road is rough and there's only foot access.
He approached CEPRODEL for the first time because he realized that there are some investors abroad who finance loans, especially for low-income people who are striving to get ahead. Currently he needs a loan to have some dental work done.
He hopes and trusts in God that these people support his application so he can carry out his investment.

Luís Israel es un joven de 33 años, soltero, padre de un niño en edad escolar que bajo sus posibilidades ha tratado de dar lo mejor en cuanto a educación y sustento alimenticio.
Desde hace más de 10 años se dedica a laborar como profesor de primaria en una comarca ubicada a 10 km del municipio de El Sauce.
A pesar de lo incómodo del camino para llegar a la escuela ejerce su profesión con esmero y entusiasmo.
Todos los días sale de su casa a las 5 de la mañana en bicicleta hasta cierta parte luego tiene que caminar a pie para llegar a su destino y estar puntual en la escuela, ya que el camino es incómodo y no hay acceso más que a pie.
Por primera vez se acercó a Ceprodel ya que se dio cuenta que hay unos inversionistas del extranjero que financian créditos sobre todo a las personas de escasos recursos que luchan por salir adelante y en este momento necesita un crédito para realizarse un trabajo dental.
Espera y confía en Dios que estas personas apoyen su solicitud para llevar a cabo su inversión.

Welcome to 'Who's Competing' …
'Who's Competing?' is a Competition Law & EU Law Blog maintained by Angus MacCulloch of Lancaster University Law School created to support and inform my competition law research and teaching. Should a legal development strike me as interesting or important I'll use this blog to explain what's going on.
Once More unto the 'Object Box'
Case C-345/14 Maxima Latvija (ECLI:EU:C:2015:784)
The Court of Justice of the EU has once again handed down a judgment which discusses 'object' agreements under Art 101(1) TFEU in Case C-345/14 Maxima Latvija. It adds a little clarity to some of the potential confusion that comes from different forms of wording in previous judgments such as Allianz Hungária and Cartes Bancaires. Read More…
Steady as Art 102 Goes …
The Court handed down its judgment in Case C-23/14 Post Danmark today. The judgment itself is not particularly surprising, in that it largely follows previous judgments of the Court in earlier Art 102 cases. The main feature of note is what the Court didn't do: it again declined an opportunity to either follow or discredit the so-called 'more economic approach' to the abuse of a dominant position.

First UK Cartel Offence Aquittals
The news broke yesterday that the first fully contest trial in relation to the 'old' UK cartel offence results in both defendants being acquitted after the jury deliberated for "only a couple of hours". As the 'old' cartel offence is no longer with us, being substantially amended in ERRA 2013, the wider impact of the acquittal might be perceived as being limited, but there are still lessons to be learned from what we know about the acquittal.
Repealing the Human Rights Act and the implications for UK Competition Law Enforcement
(By Scott Summers)
Since the latter part of 2014, the Conservative party has promised that if it won at the 2015 General Election, it would repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and enact a new British Bill of Rights (BBR). Now that the Conservatives have won the General Election by achieving a majority in the House of Commons, this plan could come to fruition. Whilst many have discussed the potential legal implications of repealing the HRA, there is one area of contention that has been completely overlooked; namely, the impact that repealing the HRA will have on competition law proceedings. This blog post seeks to address this issue by considering the implications that repealing the HRA may have on s.188 of the Enterprise Act 2002, (hereafter, the 'UK criminal cartel offence').
Happy New Year!
I'm back after a refreshing break spending time with my friends and family …
But I have returned to pile of marking, that's grading for those on the other side of the Atlantic, which *really* needs to be done. My blogging activity will resume as soon as my academic duties are no longer as time sensitive, for there is lots to talk about. There are a few cases from the end of last year that deserve a mention, and the Damages Directive also worth spending some time with.
Hopefully I'll be able to put together a 'bock-buster' update by the end of the month, but until then I hope 2015 is another excellent year for everyone.
In Defense of the Intel Judgment
The judgment by the General Court, on 12 June 2104, in the Case T-286/09 Intel (ECLI:EU:T:2014:547) has been one of the most controversial in recent years. It it part of the ongoing debate in EU competition law between those who seek to introduce a 'more economic' approach to Art 102 TFEU and break away from the formalism they perceive in the Court's jurisprudence, and those who see the Court's existing case law as well grounded and effective, and see the more to a 'more economic' approach as being a move towards unnecessary uncertainty.
Premiership Rugby Union: if it looks like a duck and quacks like one …
By Bev Williamson
Premiership Rugby Limited (the PRL) is the company that commercialises premiership rugby union in England. Its CEO, Mark McCafferty, has publicly rejected claims that Premiership operates as a cartel. He relies on the fact that English rugby union utilises a system of promotion and relegation for determining which teams compete amongst the professional elite. That being the case, the PRL, which is made up of representatives of each of the Premiership teams, together with the sport's governing body, the Rugby Football Union (the RFU), may have found ways to create a cartel by stealth.
Does this look like Universities colluding?
There is currently an ongoing dispute between academic staff and employers in the UK pre-92 Universities regarding the running of the USS pension scheme. I don't want to get into the debate surrounding the reasons for the dispute, but an interesting competition law question has arisen regarding several UK Universities' near identical responses to the fact the trade union that represents academic staff, the UCU, have announced a collective marking boycott as part of industrial action protesting at proposed changes to the pension scheme.
The Price is Not Right: Italian Troubles with Road Haulage and Tobacco Pricing
Two recent judgments handed down by the CJEU show how difficult it can be for a Member State to involve itself in fixing minimum prices for products. Given the ongoing challenge to minimum alcohol pricing in Scotland it is interesting that in both these cases the Court ruled against the fixing of prices, but for very different reasons. Neither case is directly analogous to the Scots alcohol MUP referred to the Court in Case C-333/14, but there are perhaps lessons that can be learnt.
A Glimpse Inside the 'Object Box'
Case C-67/13 P Groupement des Cartes Bancaires (CB) ECLI:EU:C:2014:2204
It's not often that the Court of Justice gets to address one of the core concepts that underlie the antitrust prohibitions, but in Groupement des Cartes Bancaires the CJEU has taken its second opportunity to discuss the nature of Art 101 TFEU 'object' agreements in as many years. At the end of 2012, in Expedia, the Court discussed whether an 'object' agreement needed to have an 'appreciable' effect on competition. In Groupement des CB the CJEU gets to the heart of what it is that makes an agreement fall within the 'object box'.

Vivienne Westwood rarely makes a public appearance in the U.S., much less in a major department store — "Tell me why I should?" she asked — yet on Tuesday, Macy's Herald Square was able to snare her. The occasion was the launch of Westwood's new capsule collection for Nine West.
"I don't look at fashion magazines and don't watch television," she told the crowd of 100-plus people. "I don't know what other designers are doing. But the human race has never looked more ugly than they do today."
The reason, she explained, was that too many people conform to a look based on low-priced clothes of little imagination and poor quality.
She recalled an incident at one of her recent men's wear shows, when a reporter asked what men should be wearing. Westwood's response? "Give it a rest," she recalled, indicating that some men would be better off saving for a season or two to make a quality purchase rather than buying "terrible" clothes every season. "It's very depressing," she said.
She elaborated on her displeasure with current dress codes after the Q&A. "Nobody has any sense of personality," she said. "To think that you don't need clothes to express personality….We have clothes to help you. Men usually do better than women, because they have the standard of the Savile Row suit. Men always look nice. Women can look terrible."
Asked what she thought of department stores, and Macy's in particular, Westwood seemed to dodge the question gracefully. "I don't look around very much," she said. "I just walk in and go. I am afraid I tend not to check out where I am. I am in my own head."
When the queen of tweaked tartans was asked what she found most inspiring about America, the designer struck a political note.
"A long time ago, I thought it was exciting, but American foreign policy has taken away any glamour the American lifestyle once had for me," she said. "I am very unpatriotic, though. I don't support England either."
Westwood's collection for Nine West includes quirky interpretations of tartans, from boots to cardigans, at suggested retails ranging from $225 to $500. It is being selectively distributed and will be available at Nine West's top 20 doors and Macy's top 40 doors, as well as through ninewest.com and macys.com.
This story first appeared in the September 14, 2006 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
During her four-day stay, she was planning to visit her two favorite museums: the Metropolitan Museum of Art for its Chinese art, and the Frick Collection. During her New York trip, Westwood also hosted a Grand Classics Film series screening of "Incident at Oglala," Michael Apted's 1992 documentary on imprisoned Native American activist Leonard Peltier, whom many believe to be innocent and whose case Westwood has made one of her causes. "Recently, I got very involved in human rights," she said. "You can't have a civilization if you don't have justice before the law."

What should I be doing instead of this?

News in Review 2014
Today's news and our top daily/weekly stories of 2014
Hey all! In a minute, I'm going to hit you with the list: the biggest, the most interesting and the most disturbing stories we covered this year on a daily or weekly basis. We've already given you our favorite news cover stories; those long-form pieces which we spent weeks or even months putting together. Now it's time for the everyday stuff. But first, let me just throw a couple things your way that are making news on the last day of 2014. Memorials are planned for Leelah Alcorn, the Kings Mills 17-year-old who committed suicide on I-71 Sunday after suffering with lengthy depression and isolation due to her transgender status. These memorials include a candlelight vigil in front of Kings High School Saturday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. In other news, the city came to an agreement with unions over its pension obligations last night. The deal, which took 10 months of negotiations, including a nine-hour marathon talk session between the city, employees and retirees, is complicated, but here's the upshot: The agreement will allow the city to stabilize the pension fund, to which it owes $862 million, by whittling down retiree health benefits over time while putting $200 million from the health care trust fund into the pension fund. The city will also make a $38 million payment into the system next year. On to the list. It's a bit absurd to do these end of the year lists, right? I mean, ongoing stories don't conveniently bookend themselves on New Years Eve, but tend to linger on and on (see: streetcar fight). But we have to stop somewhere and brag about our coverage, and the day we run out of calendar seems as good as any. So here are some of the big stories we covered in 2014:1. Police Shootings and Race: A Familiar StoryCincinnati is no stranger to controversy surrounding police shootings. So the unrest around an August incident in Ferguson, Mo., where a police officer shot an unarmed teenager named Michael Brown felt very close to home. The incident sparked civil unrest in Ferguson and across the country. Just days before, a similar incident occurred in a Beavercreek Walmart, where police shot 22-year-old John Crawford while he was holding a pellet gun sold in the store. We watched the Crawford case closely from the beginning. His shooting as well as a number of others around the country that came to light afterward were especially pertinent in Cincinnati, bringing back memories of the 2001 shooting of Timothy Thomas by police in Over-the-Rhine. We covered the parallels between 2001 and now, followed local reaction to the recent police shootings and delved deep into racial tensions in Beavercreek. New incidents of questionable use of force by police officers continue to emerge, suggest this story is far from over. We'll be following it just as closely in 2015.2. Icon Tax DebateTwo of Cincinnati's favorite buildings need big help. But getting the money to renovate historic Music Hall and Union Terminal has been a political struggle. An initial proposal by business leaders would have levied a .25 percent sales tax increase over time to fund renovations on both buildings. But Republican Hamilton County commissioners Chris Monzel and Greg Hartmann balked at including Music Hall in that arrangement, opting instead to shorten the duration of the tax increase and only fix Union Terminal. That left supporters of OTR's major landmark angry and triggered a campaign to unseat Hartmann in the November election, though that effort fizzled. Meanwhile, Music Hall may get the fixing up it needs after all: the building was awarded $20 million in tax credits in December that will go a long way toward needed renovations.3. The Battle Over Cincinnati's Last Abortion Clinic After lawmakers passed restrictive new laws requiring clinics that provide abortions to have transfer agreements with area hospitals, and then turned around and barred state-funded hospitals from entering into those agreements, things looked bleak for the region's two remaining clinics. The situation got even worse over the summer when the Ohio Department of Health revoked the license of one of those clinics, Women's Med in Sharonville, after refusing to grant the clinic an exception to those new rules. The area's last remaining abortion provider, the Elizabeth Campbell Surgical Center in Mount Auburn, got a similar warning from the state in November. The clinic had been waiting a year to hear back from the state about its request for a variance to the rules on the grounds that its doctors have individual admitting privileges with area hospitals. Planned Parenthood, which runs the clinic, sued the state, claiming Ohio's laws are unconstitutional and present an undue burden to women seeking abortions. The state blinked, providing the clinic with a variance and keeping Cincinnati from becoming the largest metropolitan area in the country without direct access to abortion services.4. Transit: Fights and Forward MovementFrom ongoing streetcar drama to fights over bike lanes to efforts to bring better rail service to Cincinnati, how we get around got a lot of attention this year. In the spring, a battle flared up over Mayor John Cranley's diversion of funds away from on-street bike lanes to bike paths, and further controversy arose over a new bike lane being built on Central Parkway. One business owner concerned about a few parking spots temporarily ground that project to a halt before the city agreed to spend thousands of extra dollars accommodating the parking concerns. There was some other progress on bike-related projects this year as paths on the city's east side, including plans that could also someday include light rail, continued to take shape. Bickering about how the city will pay for the streetcar dominated the daily news, with new panics about the project's yearly operating budget and construction contingency fund cropping up constantly. Meanwhile, in a project of a much larger scale, a group of advocates launched a campaign this year to get daily rail service going between Cincinnati and Chicago. Unlike the streetcar, that effort has been surprisingly bi-partisan. That level of agreement has been rare in transportation fights. But all the back and forth is good on one level — it means Cincinnatians are actively thinking about and engaged in conversations around transit alternatives. 5. Cincinnati's Big Developments: Concerns and QuestionsThere's no denying Cincinnati has had a huge year in terms of development. Over-the-Rhine continues to change at a rapid pace and other neighborhoods are quickly following suit in their own ways. But developers and the city administration that courts them are powerful folks, and it's always good to ask questions when millions are getting thrown around like Monopoly money. We delved into concerns over Cincinnati City Center Development Corporation's move into northern OTR, where the city awarded it decision-making power over a whole swath of neighborhood surrounding Findlay Market even as residents and the OTR Community Council expressed serious concerns about the deal. We talked to residents and businesses in Clifton Heights, where the city enacted zoning changes and tax deals for an out-of-town developer who will build a large, student-centered apartment complex despite protests from some long-time residents there. And we took a deep look into what the new I-71 interchange means for Avondale and Walnut Hills, both largely black communities whose members have historic reasons to distrust highway projects. Will development surrounding a new highway on and off ramp in these historically neglected and low-income neighborhoods lift up residents there, or will it bulldoze them? The questions around Cincinnati's big-budget developments remain, and we'll continue asking them in 2015.6. Charter School Drama2014 was the year things got weird at Ohio charter schools. VLT Academy in Cincinnati shut down after a long, messy fight by the school to secure a sponsor organization over protests from the Ohio Department of Education. A charter high school in Dayton, along with several others run by Chicago-based Horizon schools, came under scrutiny from federal authorities after former teachers made multiple reports of records forging and sexual misconduct. Overall, multiple studies, including a CityBeat review of state education data for Cincinnati charters, found that charters don't seem to perform any better on the whole than public schools, and in many cases, perform worse. Meanwhile, charters are held to lower standards than public schools. All that begs the question: what are taxpayers getting for the diverted funds that pay for these often for-profit schools?7. The Persistence of Poverty We covered a number of issues surrounding poverty in Cincinnati, from former staffer German Lopez's excellent cover story on the city's poverty problem to more specific issues like affordable, subsidized housing, increases in homelessness in the city and a proposed hate crime law that would protect the homeless. There was also some good news, as Lower Price Hill, one of the city's poorest neighborhoods received free Wi-Fi so students and residents could connect to the outside world. As one of the city's biggest, most complex challenges, Cincinnati's high poverty rate works its way into a number of other issues such as sex trafficking, the heroin crisis and others, meaning we're just getting started in our coverage. Expect much more in 2015.This is by no means an exhaustive list. Some other big stories we checked out this year include German Lopez's great piece on efforts to legalize marijuana in Ohio and our coverage of the court battle over Ohio's gay marriage ban. When you're all bored and hungover tomorrow, peruse our coverage from the last year. Then hit me up with what you'd like to see in the new year.

Ever since I heard my human talking about the article, I have had mixed feelings. On the one paw, I think it might be useful for him to know just what it is like to be one of us. On the other paw, I would hate for him to get any ideas about changing the comfortable living arrangements we have here at home. On yet another paw, if this avatar thing were to become standard practice for humans, the implications for animals would be enormous.
Sydney the dog here. Recently, I overheard my human discussing with his mate — my other human — an interview he had read on the Internet.
Apparently, Stanford University has a "Virtual Human Interaction Lab" where something called "Avatar Studies," are conducted. One of the researchers, cognitive psychologist and associate professor Jeremy Bailenson, was describing an experiment where humans become "virtual cows."
Balienson explained to Lynn Rossetto Kasper of NPR's Splendid Table what happens during the cow experiment. First, lights are placed on the head, back and hands of the subject. Cameras track the lights to show movements, and speakers around the room give the impression of sounds moving as the subject does. Next, a head-mounted display is placed so that the subject sees a virtual reality. The virtual cow moves around the room on hands and knees, drinks water from a trough, munches on a pile of hay and performs other cow-like behaviors.
Then things get a little weird — as if they weren't already. The virtual cow gets lightly nudged with a cattle prod and poked in the side with a stick as it is persuaded to move from one place to another. After 10 minutes or so, the virtual cow is told it is time to go to the slaughterhouse and is urged over toward a truck which is beeping as it slowly backs up. At this point, the experiment is over. Whew. Just in time.
Bailenson says the researchers are studying empathy. He and his group have been experimenting for 10 years on "whether you can make somebody feel more empathy for another if you have them walk a mile in the shoes of their avatar." Earlier studies had college-age students occupying avatars of the elderly as well as experiments looking at empathy as it relates to race and gender. The virtual cow study was the first experiment using avatars of another species.
As my two humans were discussing this, the male declared, "I'm not sure about a cow, but wouldn't it be interesting to inhabit the avatar of a dog? Sydney, for example. What a life he has. He sleeps most of the day. He chases squirrels and digs holes then sleeps some more. His internal clock is more accurate than a satellite when it's dinner time. He gets a bowl of food placed before him by obedient humans then sleeps after dinner until it is time to go to bed. Then we wait at the door until he decides he is done with his business at which time he saunters back inside for a good night's sleep. Where do I sign up for that experiment?"
My human exaggerates, but I admit I have a pretty good life. I know not all animals are as lucky. Wild animals live according to the dictates of brute Nature, of course, but the proper care of domesticated animals is the responsibility of human beings. Maybe these avatar experiments could do some good if it would cause humans to be more aware, more empathetic to us "lesser creatures" (as you humans like to say) as we live out our lives.
I can understand how my human would want to experience a dog's life. What creature wouldn't? Frankly though, I have no desire to become a human, even a virtual one. Traffic, taxes, deadlines, debts, fame, finances, things and more things? No, thanks. I'd rather chase squirrels than money or status.

I have a Trek 7.2 FX, with the stock seat. I'm fine with it for about 22 miles, but then it starts to get really uncomfortable. I'm not sure if a new saddle would help, or if I just need to suck it up.
I do wear bike shorts, and I weigh 275. I realize that being a big guy I'm putting a lot more weight on the saddle than a smaller rider. I rode some last year, but stopped mid season, and I have about 180 miles in this season. I feel like saddle pain is limiting me from going on rides of 30 miles or more, but I'm not sure if a new saddle would help.
I've looked around and I don't think any of the bike stores near me have a saddle testing program, so I would probably have to buy one new and hope it helps.

Faye Watson has long been on a self-appointed mission – to help others learn about God by offering encouragement, understanding and information, through her church and her life.
As the Fayette County Board approved yet another loan from its capital improvement fund last Thursday, one board member said that the county is only continuing to make such transfers without a plan.
The board barely approved a $145,742 transfer from that fund so the county could make a workers' compensation and liability insurance payment, with the vote being 7-6.
In what was basically an emergency decision, the Vandalia City Council on Monday approved a Tax Increment Financing agreement that will not only keep a business in Vandalia, but also provide that chain store with more space.
The council approved a TIF grant of up to $65,750 to Michael and JoEllen Wehrle, with that amount being about half of the estimated cost to renovate the Wehrle property in Veterans Plaza at 1611 Veterans Ave.
The Wehrles are renovating the area south of Los Amigos Restaurant to accommodate the move of the local Sears from Vandalia Commons.
Five months after it tabled an initial ordinance governing the use of low-speed vehicles on rural roads in the county, the Fayette County Board rejected a second version.
But at least one board member said that he wants to continue an effort to enact such an ordinance.
The Fayette County Board voted 8-5 on Thursday to reject a proposed low-speed vehicle ordinance for the county.
That ordinance is in this week's issue and will also be available here at www.leaderunion.com.

Instant Replay: Thornton leads Sharks to shootout win over Kings
Thornton on shootout opportunity: 'I've been begging coach'
Tomas Hertl couldn't contain his excitment after Joe Thornton converted on a second-period goal against the Kings. (USATSI)
SAN JOSE – In a game reflective of just how evenly matched the Sharks and Kings are against one another, Joe Thornton's goal in the eighth round of the shootout was the difference in a 3-2 San Jose win at SAP Center on Wednesday night.
After 65 minutes, the Sharks and Kings each had two goals and 40 shots. Thornton's shootout attempt snuck through Ben Scrivens, and Antti Niemi stopped Tyler Toffoli to end the game.
The Sharks improved to 3-0-0 on their five-game homestand, and are 6-1-1 in their last eight. Los Angeles fell to 7-0-4 in its last 11 games.
The Sharks took the lead with a pair of second period goals.
Joe Pavelski tied it at 1-1. Tyler Kennedy battled high in the zone before sliding the puck towards the crease, where it hit Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin in the skate. Pavelski found the loose disc and aired it over Scrivens' shoulder at 2:43, with Marty Havlat causing a commotion in front.
Scrivens' misplay of a Tomas Hertl rim gave San Jose the lead. Hertl wrapped the puck around the boards, and the Kings' goalie attempted to play it to Willie Mitchell behind the net. Thornton was there to get a stick on it, though, and the puck bounced in off of Scrivens' skate at 16:54 to make it 2-1.
The Kings got a fortunate goal of their own to tie it in the third, when Drew Doughty's pass towards the slot went in of off Scott Hannan's skate at 6:23. The game remained at 2-2 through regulation and overtime.
The Sharks' penalty killers kept the game tied at 1-1 prior to Thornton's goal. Dan Boyle was issued a double minor for high-sticking Justin Williams at 6:35, but San Jose was up to the task. Hannan, Logan Couture, Brad Stuart, and Tommy Wingels fought through tired legs to kill off the remaining minute-and-a-half of the infraction.
Conversely, the San Jose power play remained incredibly ineffective. The Sharks had three consecutive chances with a man advantage in the third with the game tied, but generated no prime scoring chances.
The Kings took the lead just 18 seconds into the game. Dwight King barreled over Hertl along the wall, and eventually set up Jeff Carter in front of the net. Carter deftly roofed the puck over Niemi for his sixth goal.
The Sharks outshot the Kings 18-8 in the first period, but Los Angeles responded with a 19-7 advantage in the second. Each team generated 40 shots through regulation and overtime.
The Kings have lost nine straight, including the playoffs, in San Jose.
The Pacific Division rivals meet three more times this season.
Special teams
The Sharks finished 0-for-3, and are now zero their last 14. At home, the Sharks have failed to convert on their last 17 power plays.
Los Angeles was 0-for-4, including a late advantage when Couture was called for high-sticking at 16:29 of the third.
In goal
Niemi made 38 saves and improved to 6-1-0 against the Kings in his career at SAP Center.
In his first career appearance against San Jose, Scrivens made 38 saves.
Jonathan Quick remains out with a groin injury.
Matt Irwin returned from a six-game absence, paired with Boyle.
Andrew Desjardins, a healthy scratch on Saturday against New Jersey, returned to center the fourth line.
Matt Pelech was recalled on Tuesday but did not play.
Up next
St. Louis visits for a Friday matinee at 1 p.m., and Anaheim is in town on Saturday to close out San Jose's homestand. The Sharks begin a four-game road trip in Toronto on Dec. 3.

Okay, but the risk was worth the potential reward. Dillon was coming of an injury, but was an elite back before that. Benson has never been elite. The two of them aren't even in the same league. I mentioned earlier in the post that I don't think Benson is an upgrade over what we already have at RB.
Edit: I see Champ already beat me to it.

Amen, Russ. Benson has been the focal point of that offense for the past 2 years, maybe not so much this past year than his first year but when the guy gets 30 carries a game, he's going to put up big 'fantasy' numbers. I'd love to see what Benny could do with 25+ carries a game and then see who claims Benson is an upgrade over the Law Firm.
We either go out and get a guy like MJD and let Benny walk, or we keep the core of what we have and actually USE the run. I'm excited to see what a healthy Vareen and a more confident Ridley will do next season. Get these kids in camp early and get their confidence rollin'.

Re: BENSON

How about signing the best center and guard available (assuming Waters and Light are retiring) instead of a running back. Pats may already have the answer at RB in either Ridley, Vereen, or a combination of the two. They are young, fairly cheap, and both will have a full off season program this year, and not be getting thrown to the wolves as they were last year. Running backs can't do much if there are no holes to run through. I read that Cannon is moving to tackle, as the Pats may be concerned with Vollmers ability to come back from the back issues. Still prefer to sigh a safety and OLB over anything offensively...

Re: BENSON
posted at 2/23/2012 11:05 AM ESTBenson is better than BGJE.
Thats not even debatable.
Keep riding Benny's jock, all the way out the door.
I will take Benson. Not because he is Corey Dillon, but because he is Cedric Benson.
He had a rough start to his career after being a 1st round pick but worked his but off and revived his career in Cincy.
He has put up 1,000 yard seasons there without a Guy named Brady to take the heat off of him.
Go ahead and put Benny in Cincy the last 3 years and see what he would get.
Im glad you guys like the players we have, but dont be dumb, if you have a chance to upgrade , you do it. Is he ten times better, maybe not, but def. a more proven, capable back.
Why hasnt Benny been signed yet, if the Pats love him as much as everyone here????
Re: BENSON
posted at 2/23/2012 11:25 AM ESTOh boy Jay. So you would rather have a guy play for us next year who in his last 3 years has averaged 3.8 ypc, fumbled 19 times and despite getting quality NFL work horse starting reps has barely broken the 1,000 yard mark? I will not compare the td disparity as Benson has played on poor offensive teams, but I would ask you this, what if BJGE averaged 300 carries per season the last 3 seasons for us?
What if Benny was given 100 more attempts in 2010,(which is what Benson got) would we be looking at a 1450 yard 18 td season? Probably.
Do you think he would suddenly fall apart? Or would it be fair to conclude that with more reps more production would come?

Posted by TrueChampBenson is not a big FA RB.We have 6 RB's on the team at the moment, adding another one isnt going to make us run the ball more. What will make us run the ball more are 40 point leads.And to Jaytrollizzle Benson is not better then lawfirm.

Arrests in 2008
Before the start of the 2008 season, Benson was arrested for allegedly operating a boat while intoxicated and resisting arrest.[23] On May 3, 2008, the incident occurred near Austin, Texas by the Lower Colorado River Authority during a late night safety inspection.[23] The official police report cited that Benson had failed a field sobriety test, and became hostile towards the police.[23] The officers arrested Benson, and proceeded to use pepper-spray after he forcefully resisted arrest.[24] Benson was later detained for the night, and charged with boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest.[24]
Benson has since refuted the charges against him, and stated he requested to take a follow-up field sobriety test on land after failing the initial one.[24] Benson has further accused the officers of abusing him, stating, "I'm not handcuffed. I'm not under arrest. I'm not threatening him. I'm not pushing him. I'm not touching him. And he sprays me right in the eye."[24] He also asserts that officers continuously struck his ankles and feet to prevent him from walking properly.[25] A female passenger on Benson's boat also claims to have witnessed the abuse and called her father out of fear for Benson's safety. Her fiance, also on the boat, may have dozens of pictures confirming Benson's account.[26]
Upon hearing about the incident, Bears' head coach Lovie Smith stated, "I haven't had a chance to speak with Cedric yet, but anytime we're talking about one of our players getting arrested, you're disappointed in it," and added "What we're going to do from here, I'll go back and try to get as much information as I possibly can and go from there."[27] Benson was later found innocent by an Austin grand jury.
Benson was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Austin on June 7, 2008. While returning from a restaurant with his girlfriend, police claim that Benson drove through a red light, and failed a field sobriety test.[28] Police claim he later refused to take a breath or blood test to determine his blood alcohol level.[28] Police proceeded to detain Benson, and later released him on bond. Benson has denied the police officers' allegations, and insisted that he 'aced' the field test.[29] Bearsgeneral manager Jerry Angelo commented, "It's unfortunate. Disappointment is too much an often used word when we're talking about Cedric. The No. 1 lesson for every player is protect your job. We're all held accountable for our actions. I'm not going to say any more than that until we know for sure what the facts are."[30] On the following Monday, Benson was waived from the Bears. Angelo commented on the release, stating "Cedric displayed a pattern of behavior we will not tolerate... As I said this past weekend, you have to protect your job. Everyone in this organization is held accountable for their actions."[31]
Benson was later ordered by a county judge to put a built-in ignition interlock breathalyzer in his car. He was also told to start drug counseling classes.[32] Benson was cleared of all charges in September, after appearing before two grand juries in Travis County.[33]
[edit]2010 arrest
On June 29, 2010, Benson was arrested for assault with injury after reportedly punching a bartender in the face.[34] Benson himself denied committing the crime. Almost a month after the ordeal, the NFL announced that Benson would not be suspended.[35]
[edit]2011 arrest
On July 17, 2011, Benson was arrested in Austin, Texas for a misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury to a family member.[36] He was sentenced to 20 days in jail and ordered to pay a $4,000 fine.[37] Benson was released from jail on September 3, after only five days of his sentence.[38] He received a one game suspension, enacted in week 8.

Its not gonna happen. I didnt know his fumble count was that high.
Besides that, what did I say? I think He is a better RB than Benny
What facts do you have to prove Benny is better? All I am saying I think it would be an upgrade.
I consider all things. Like Benny plays a role here and is never really in a position to have a bad game. Meaning his QB is Brady, and NO team goes in worried about Benny so he has a chance to sneak in some nice runs , but when the defense KNOWS he is running, how has he faired?? Thank You
Benson was in an offense without a QB and not many weapons so his 3.8 was much more impressive to me with 8 in the box.
Benny may be a workhorse, but he hasnt shown it and the coaches dont trust him all that much to be able to do it. So thats why I said Benny wont be effective as he was here anywhere else.
The guy cant even stay in the game like Rusty always points out. He has to get subbed because he isnt a pass catcher.
Like I said, its my opinion, but I'd like to hear from non pats fan about this.
I think you guys need to stop being biased and consider everything involved.
Brady makes any RB's job easier. When Benny got a 1,000, it was the quitest 1,000 yards I ever seen. They run when the defense isnt expecting it and he takes advantage, but is not a feature back and his lack of contract should tell you guys that.

The fact is, he has done more in his career then Benny.
All things I have heard is he is a good kid who the locker room loves. Sure he had some issues, so I guess its a no to M.Lynch, Blount and others who have slid due to off-field issues?

The House of Hope orphanage shelters over 50 children who have either lost their
families, or have been turned out on the street because their impoverished
parents can not afford to care for them. The Grace Heart of Thanks offering has
already been used to rid the orphanage of rats, and the Grace team will work to
render the facility more kid-friendly and will also teach a Vacation Bible School, showing Christ's love to the
children and the staff in a variety of ways.

We are back from Haiti, after a rewarding ten days serving in the orphanage there. We painted rooms, built bunk beds, did VBS, played with and cuddled kids. Although I believe the Lord helped us accomplished much work, the best blessing was the time with the children. Not one of us wanted to leave them there on the last day. Thank you to all who prayed for us!
