Nate the Great and The Mushy Valentine
by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I love Nate the Great because of its dead-pan humor. Kids love Nate the Great because they enjoy following the clues and guessing about what happened. With two mysteries this time, kids will like to figure out how the mysteries intertwine. It's a great series for end of first grade or beginning second grade readers.
Nate is a likable narrator. His humor is very dry, and his dog is very funny. Some of the illustrations are also quite humorous. Patrick was interested in it partly because of the way it depicts how boys and girls relate to each other. For better or worse, the gendered preferences are fairly stereotypical, but it can still serve as a springboard for talking about why Patrick might not mind Valentines as much as Nate does.

May 25, 2016
By James Buechele
July 18, 2013
Two men were out fishing on an airboat today on Lake Miccosukee when the boat flipped, leaving them stranded in the middle of the lake.
Fortunately, both men were equipped with life jackets and able to stand on the side of the boat until rescuers arrived.
Once rescuers were able to pinpoint where the men were located, they were extricated by boat, and brought back to the Mahan landing.
Neither of the men sustained any injuries; in fact, they didn't even get wet.
Leon County Sheriff's Office, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Tallahassee Fire Department, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission all helped in the rescue effort.

deskTOPia: The hsetroot and Esetroot Background Tools
Users who work long hours on a
desktop computer will appreciate
something eye-catching to relieve
the monotony. The hsetroot and
Esetroot tools offer you more than
an ordinary desktop.
Long gone, and rightfully so, are
the days when Windows experts
used to sell their users on wallpaper
stripping as a top secret tuning tip.
Modern computers have more than
enough memory for a desktop background.
And in contrast to Windows 95,
most window managers in the Linux
world can handle graphics in compressed
and thus smaller formats such
as PNG or JPG.
Desktop environments typically have a
preferences dialog where users can
select a wallpaper. More basic window
managers may expect you to store background
images in a specific directory, or
even to point to the image in a configuration
file. Command-line programs that
load a background image remove these
restrictions. In this month's article, we
will be looking at two applications that
offer you more than just the ability to
paint a picture in the root window: Esetroot
[1] and hsetroot [2].

The present invention relates to an image projection apparatus or slide projector, and more particularly, to an apparatus with a housing having a built-in screen onto which an image from film or slides can be projected and an opening through which an image can be projected onto a remote surface in response to orientation of a projection lens for enabling selection of the projection path.
Various designs of motion picture and still projectors, convertible for projection of images onto remote and built-in surfaces are known. However, few of these designs have achieved substantial commercial success since several manual operations were usually required to convert the projector from remote projection to at-the-unit viewing. Further, these projectors are generally bulkier, heavier, and more expensive than comparable single purpose units. Attempts to combine the projectors have resulted in compromises with the images on the built-in screen being smaller than desirable and often the remotely projected image being of less brilliance.
The present invention provides an arrangement by which the image can be projected onto either the built-in screen or can be projected onto a remote surface or screen. The apparatus of this preferred embodiment is a round tray slide projector in which slides are transported into the projection station by gravity in a relatively well known manner, and are handled and returned to the tray by mechanisms built into the housing and functioning in a known manner. In one side of the housing is arranged a screen onto which an internally reflected image may be projected for viewing by the user and others close to the projector. In another side of the projector is located an opening aligned with the projection path, and through which an image may be projected externally onto a remote surface. A cover door for the projection opening is coupled to a projection lens shifting mechanism. When the projection opening cover door is opened, the lens is arranged with the optical axis aligned with the optical path extending through the opening for projection of the image onto the remote surface. A focusing device is arranged within the projector to adjust the lens for focusing of the projected image onto that remote surface. As the door is closed, the lens if pivotably rotated into a position to direct the projected image toward built-in mirrors which in turn pass the image to the built-in screen. During the re-positioning of the lens, if the lens were focused on a remote surface, an automatic re-focusing action is performed whereby the lens is focused appropriately for the fixed length image path to the built-in screen. An image enlarger is provided proximate the lens when the latter is in the built-in projection orientation so that an operator may selectively enlarge a portion of the image or enlarge the entire image should it be smaller than the "standard" double frame 35mm format. Simultaneously, with pivoting of the lens between the remote and the built-in projection orientations, the projection lamp illumination is altered to provide lower illumination of the image projected onto the built-in screen relative to the illumination for the image projected onto a much more distant remote surface. Therefore, a unit is provided which is readily convertible from remote projection to built-in projection responsive primarily to the positioning of the projector housing door.
An object of the present invention is to provide a relatively compact projector enabling conversion of the apparatus for projection of an image onto either a remote surface or a built-in screen, the conversion operation including automatic re-focusing of the lens for the built-in screen and modification of the quantity of illumination.
Further and other objects will be apparent from the description of the accompanying drawings in which like numerals refer to like parts.

FIG. 6 is a fragmentray elevational view taken along section line 6--6 in FIG. 4;
FIG. 7 is an overall plan view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 with parts broken away and parts removed for clarity and including a schematic representation of selected electrical circuitry.
FIG. 8 is a detail view of the projector housing door including a schematic representation of a micro-switch actuation arrangement.
FIG. 9 is a sectional view of the projection apparatus in plan taken along section line 9--9 in FIG. 3.
Referring to the figures and particularly FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown an image projection apparatus in the form of a slide projector 10 with the primary components substantially enclosed within a housing 12. The housing 12 includes a front wall 14, side walls 16, 18, and a top wall 19. A rear wall 20 and a bottom wall 21 complete the housing to provide a substantially enclosed and substantially dust proof container for the slide handling and optical components of the projector. In FIG. 1, on the top wall 19 of the housing is shown supported a slide supply means 22 such as a round tray. Slides can be supplied alternatively in any of the known slide supply means including a stack loader or the like. As shown in FIG. 7, a slide handling and tray indexing mechanism, 24 if selected of the type to handle the slide supply means, and the slides therein. In this preferred embodiment, slides are contemplated of the "standard" double frame 35mm format mounted in 2 inch square mounts. Also, 110 format slides in the 2 inch square mounts can be used, as well as other formats which can be accepted in the round tray slide supply means 22. The slide handling and tray indexing mechanism 24 is a known mechanism, shown only insofar as is necessary for an understanding of the invention.
Of the several optical components of the projector, a projection lamp 28 is positioned internally of the housing 12. From the projection lamp, light is emitted to illuminate a slide 30 positioned at a projection station 32. The light beam passes along a first optical path portion 33a from the lamp through one or more condensor components 34 before passing through the slide, and through a second optical path portion 33b including a projection lens 36 after passing through the slide. Ultimately, the rays of the light beam passing along the optical path or axis form an image on a surface which in this preferred embodiment may be either an external or remote screen (not shown) or an internal or built-in screen 38. The projection lens 36 is adjustably positionable for focusing of the slide image as required for the built-in screen 38 and the remote surface. These several optical components are selected and arranged for projection of sufficiently brilliant images onto the respective surfaces for comfortable viewing.
Many of the mechanical components of the slide projector apparatus are known components, such as the slide handling mechanism 24, and a motor 42 for driving the slide handling and tray indexing mechanism. Further, other mechanical components of this slide projector include devices cooperating with selected of the optical components for selectively directing the second optical path portion alternatively onto either the built-in screen 38 or the remote surface.
In the wall described as the rear wall 20 of the housing, a door 50 is mounted for pivotal movement between an open condition clear of the optical axis portion 52 and a closed condition across that optical axis portion. The door is manually positionable to the alternative conditions according to the intended use of the slide projector. For remote projection, the door 50 is opened and the projection lens 36 aligned for projection of the slide image therethrough along an essentially straight optical path.
For projection of the slide image onto the built-in screen 38, as shown in FIG. 3 the door 50 is closed. As shown in more detail in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, connected to the door is a projection lens carrier 54 on which the projection lens 36 is supported for movement about an axis 56. For remote image projection, the projection lens is positioned with the optical axis defined thereby substantially perpendicular to the plane of a slide in the projection station 32. However, for internal projection onto the built-in screen 38, the projection lens is pivoted about the axis 56 to a position essentially perpendicular to the remote projection axis. The optical axis defined by the lens is re-oriented to be essentially parallel to the plane of the slide. Supported on the projection lens carrier 54 is a mirror 60 which is displaceable between a position out of the second optical path portion 33b during remote projection, and into that optical path portion during internal projection. This first mirror 60 deflects the image and the optical path from the optical axis perpendicular to the slide to a path essentially parallel therewith.
For internal projection, the housing door 50 is closed and the first mirror 60 is inserted in the optical path portion at approximately 45° to the primary optical path portion 33b. Light rays from a slide are deflected by the first mirror 60 through the projection lens 36 which is substantially perpendicular to the primary optical path portion, but, for reasons as set forth hereinafter, may be arranged slightly offset or angled from an exact perpendicular orientation. From the projection lens, the light rays pass toward a second mirror 64 fixed to a mirror support 66 attached to the bottom wall 21 of the housing. The second mirror reflects the light rays and image toward a third mirror 68 fixed to another mirror support 70 attached within the housing. From the latter mirror, the light rays of the projected image are directed to the internal surface of the built-in rear projection screen 38 for viewing.
The mirrors and selected of the optics may be oriented at angles other than exact 45° or 90° angles to one another to cause the projected image to impinge on the screen without distortion. Without the specific optics/mirror orientations, the projected image would be distorted since the projection station is offset from alignment with the center of the projection screen. Notwithstanding that the projection station can be aligned with the center of the screen, such an arrangement is undesirable for a projector accepting a round tray slide supply and projecting the image onto a maximum size built-in screen mounted in a minimum dimensioned housing. That is, slides are retained about the periphery of the round tray from which they are fed by gravity to the projection station which, therefore, is arranged off-set in the housing. To compensate in part for the off-set, the first optical path portion in this embodiment is angled slightly from an angle which would be parallel with the side of the housing. The angle is selected as being approximately 12° toward the center of the built-in screen 38, yet perpendicular to the slide in the projection station, as seen in FIG. 7.
Because of the desired angular orientation of the optical path to the built-in screen, the optical axis of the projection lens 36 is off-set slightly from a vertical perpendicular to the horizontal of the top wall and approximately 10° toward the center of the projection screen as seen in FIG. 5. Together with the complex planes in which the second and third mirros are oriented, the final image is directed to the screen so that the central ray is essentially perpendicular to the surface of the screen, and essentially centered thereon.
To accomplish pivoting of the projection lens carrier 54 and the projection lens 36 supported thereon, the aforementioned housing door 50 is actuated from one condition to the other. A link 61 is connected to an arm 62 fixed to or integral with the door. This door assembly is pivoted about pivot axles 63 fixed in the housing. As the door is swung about the pivot axles as from open to close, the link 61 coupled at its other end to the lens carrier 54 by a coupling pin 69, drives the carrier about the stub shaft defining axis 56. The link-to-carrier coupling pin 69 extends into a shaped slot 72 formed in a mechanism support plate 76, onto which the lens carrier 54 is mounted. The combined action of the door 50 and the slot and pin cause the lens carrier to be shifted from one position to the other responsive to movement of the door or another mechanism connected therewith. Movement of the lens carrier 54 about the pivot is restricted by the pin 79 which extends through the arcuate slot 81 in the mechanism support plate 76.
When the lens 36 is adjusted to the remote projection condition and the door 50 is open, focusing of the lens is necessary since the projection surface may be near or far with respect to the location of the projector 10. To accomplish the focusing operation, an externally accessible and manually operable focus control 80 is fixed to a shaft 82, which extends into the vicinity of the lens and the lens supporting mechanism. Fixed to the internal end of the shaft 82 is a sector plate gear portion 92 having an arcuate periphery on which gear teeth 94 are formed. The gear teeth are in mesh with the teeth of a partial driven gear 96 mounted for rotation about the stub shaft of axis 56 around which the lens carrier 54 pivots. As the focus control 80 is adjusted as by rotation, the sector plate 92 is rotated. The partial driven gear 96 is coupled to the lens carrier by a connection formed of a pin 102 and a slot 104. The pin 102 of the connection extends a short length from a non-geared portion of the partial driven gear 96 in a direction parallel with the axis 56 about which the gear is rotatable. The upper plate portion 86 of the lens carrier 54 is provided with the slot 104 of the connection, which slot is arranged off-set with respect to the axis about which the partial gear 96 and the lens carrier are rotated.
As the focus control 80 is rotated, the motion is transmitted to the lens carrier 54 through the gearing and the pin and slot connection. Whether the lens carrier plate 54 is oriented for internal projection, solid lines in FIG. 5, or external projection, dashed lines in that figure, the plate is caused to move axially of the optical axis defined by the projection lens 36, although the focusing movement for internal projection is limited. As the lens carrier is shifted, the projection lens retained thereon by friction is adjusted therewith. Thus, the operator is able to focus the lens for the required lens-to-slide distance.
Focusing of the projected image onto a remote screen requires that the projection lens be moved outwardly increasing the lens-to-slide distance. Conversely, when the projected image is focused on the built-in screen, the lens is retracted to a relatively short lens-to-slide distance. Further, since the slide-to-screen distance for internal projection is essentially fixed, the lens-to-slide distance can be predetermined for repeatable focusing. To accomplish such repeatable focusing, a cam shaped ledge 108 is provided on the mechanism support plate 76. As the lens carrier 54 is pivoted from the remote projection condition to internal projection condition, the lens carrier is moved relative to the cam ledge of the support plate. In this preferred embodiment, an edge 54' of the lens carrier 54 rides against the cam ledge during this movement. If the lens was displaced for distance focusing, the lens carrier is forward. As the carrier is pivoted toward the internal projection condition, the cam ledge 108 forcibly displaces the lens carrier rearwardly until the lens reaches the "home" condition. The "home" portion of the cam has been calculated to position the projection lens in the predetermined lens-to-slide distance for focusing on the built-in screen. The lens carrier and the projection lens are capable of movement a small amount when in the internal project condition to compensate for focus changes which might be necessitated to correct for caused by "popping" of the slide material.
The projection lens 36 is selected with a focal length providing for full screen projection along the longer dimension of a "standard" double frame 35mm slide when the lens is in internal projection condition. Newer film formats provide slides having image areas of smaller dimensions, e.g., a 110 format slide. Although the image area of these small slides may be less than the area of "standard" frames, the image material may be mounted in a 2 inch square mount of dimensions similar to those of the "standard" slides. Thus, these smaller slides may be projected in the slide projector according to the present invention. Since the image area of such a slide is smaller, and the focal length of the projection lens is fixed, the image projected onto the built-in screen 38 will be proportionately smaller. That is, the image will not completely fill the screen along the longer dimension of the image area.
To provide a larger projected image for the smaller format slides during internal projection, an image expander 120 is arranged for location in the optical path of the projection lens 36. Since the size of the slide in the projection station is independent of the projection lens and/or the image expander, the image of a "standard" slide can be enlarged to an extent over-filling the screen if the expander is inserted in or remains in the optical path during projection of such a slide. The resulting condition provides the viewer with the capability of enlarging a portion of the image of the "standard" slide for more detailed study, if desired, as well as enlarging the small format image to full screen dimensions.
The image expander 120 of this embodiment includes optical elements 124 mounted in a barrel 126 defining a positive lens "attachment" for use with the projection lens. One side of the barrel 126 is formed with a planar surface 128 from which extends a rib 130 dimensioned to fit slidably in a slot 132 formed in the mechanism support plate 76 on which the lens carrier 54 is mounted. By a link 134 coupled to the expander barrel, the expander can be displaced to either a position clear of the optical path of the projection lens or a position aligned in the optical path. The rib and slot connection are dimensioned to enable positioning of the expander in the alternate positions.
When the projection lens is displaced to the internal projection condition, and the image expander 120 is displaced for non-use, the projection lens is capable of being focused over an extended range to permit projection of so-called "thick" of "thin" slides.
As further seen in FIG. 7 projection lamp 28 is connected in circuit with a transformer 140 which is connected during projection operation to a power supply 5. The transformer is selected with multiple tapped windings 140a, 140b, providing the lamp alternatively with relative high voltage and relatively low voltage respectively for high and low light outputs. In this preferred embodiment and as shown in FIG. 8, a micro-switch 144 is arranged for actuation by the housing door 50 when the door is in one or the other of its alternative positions. The micro-switch is in circuit with the transformer and the lamp to enable the lamp to be energized from the high voltage tap when the door is open for remote projection, but to be energized from the low voltage tap when the door is closed for internal projection.
The aforegoing description is illustrative of a preferred embodiment of a slide projector which is convertible for projection of the image onto a remote surface and onto a built-in screen, responsive to opening or closing of a housing door. When the door is closed, the projection lens is pivoted for projection onto the built-in screen; while when the door is open, the lens is pivoted for projection onto the remote surface. The focusable lens is re-focused automatically for internal projection when the lens is conditioned from external projection to internal projection. Also, the output of the light source is changed from a high output to a low output. The image expander is available for use during internal projection.

Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger passes along "buzz" that former Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner is interested in getting his "foot in the door" for the Giants' vacant quarterbacks coach position.
Ron Turner could resurface with Giants
Jalen Ramsey had knee surgery Tuesday
Jaguars first-round pick Jalen Ramsey solicited additional medical opinions this week after suffering a tear to the meniscus in his right knee and the result sent him to the operating room.
The Jaguars announced on Tuesday that Ramsey had surgery on his knee earlier in the day that they termed successful. The team added that the expectation is that Ramsey will be healthy enough to return "by training camp."
Given the inability to travel back in time and keep Ramsey from getting injured at all, that outcome would represent as good a case for Ramsey and the Jaguars as they could hope for. According to multiple reports, the surgery, which was performed by Dr. James Andrews, involved trimming the meniscus rather than a full repair that would have kept Ramsey off the field for a longer period of time.
While he'll miss some on-field time in the near future, he'll get plenty of time to acclimate himself to playing cornerback in the Jacksonville defense.
NFL passes minor expansion of replay rules
As expected, NFL owners have made a change to the replay rules. As not expected, the NFL didn't dramatically change the paradigm, with the list of reviewable plays scrapped in favor only of a list of non-reviewable plays.
Along the way, the owners expanded replay review, slightly, to include certain administrative matters. Items now subject to replay review that weren't previously subject to replay review are as follows: (1) penalty enforcement; (2) proper down; (3) the spot of a foul; and (4) the status of the game clock.
The list of non-reviewable plays also has been revised to include the following situations: (1) the spot where an airborne ball crosses the sideline; (2) whether a player was blocked into a loose ball; (3) advance by a player after a valid or invalid fair catch signal; (4) whether a player created the impetus that put the ball into an end zone. The quarterback "spike" for the purposes of killing the clock, which previously was on the list of non-reviewable players, has been removed.
Apart from including these items within the formal replay-review system, the replay official and designated members of the league office may now consult with the on-field officials "to provide information on the correct application of playing rules, including appropriate assessment of penalty yardage, proper down, and status of the game clock."
The new rule otherwise streamlines the replay rules, eliminating plenty of verbiage that arguably was unnecessary to the process of determining what could and couldn't be reviewed. Also, the order of the relevant rule has been modified, with the list of non-reviewable plays now preceding the list of reviewable plays. (Previously, the reviewable plays came first.)
It's hardly a major revision to the process. However, there's one specific facet of the new rule that justifies further attention, in a separate post.
Bills unveil stricter media policy for practices
Every NFL team has policies about what can be reported by media members attending practices and they usually include a ban on mentioning trick plays or exotic formations and guidelines for when players and coaches are available to speak to the media.
As anyone who follows NFL beat reporters on social media is well aware, they normally stop well short of barring reporters from reporting on whether passes are completed during practices and what players are on the field. The Bills would like to change that at their practices this season.
Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo News shared the new policy distributed by the Bills on Tuesday which puts things like the identity of players who drop passes, complete passes, throw interceptions, rush the passer, or line up with the first team on a list of things that are "strictly prohibited."
The Bills are holding a practice on Tuesday and reporters are handling things in different ways. We've learned that Manny Lawson and Reggie Ragland are among the first-team linebackers and that Jordan Mills is seeing a lot of time at right tackle. There's also dispatches like the one below.
Ultimately, it would seem that avid Bills fans who enjoy getting this information will be the ones most affected by shutting down the flow of information from practices as it seems unlikely that future Bills opponents will be changing game plans based on whether Robert Woods is able to hold onto a ball at a May practice session.
Bubba Smith had CTE
The list of deceased NFL players officially diagnosed with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy has now reached 90.
Via Ken Belson of the New York Times, the late Bubba Smith has been diagnosed with CTE. Smith, who died in 2011, spent nine years in the NFL. The first overall pick in the 1967 draft, Smith played for the Colts, Raiders, and Oilers.
Smith, who became an actor after his football career ended, had Stage 3 CTE, according to the findings of researchers. The scale consists of four total stages.
Few are surprised to learn that players from the years before the NFL began to regard head trauma seriously had CTE. Much still remains unknown about the condition, however, including the specific symptoms that it causes.
Reports of deceased players having CTE will continue to emerge periodically. The real challenge for the NFL will arise if/when a test for CTE in living patients is developed — and if it detects the disease on a sufficiently widespread basis to impact the supply of willing participants in professional football.
Coincidentally (or not), the National Institutes of Health study over which the league allegedly attempted to exert undue influence relates to detecting CTE in living patients.
After dumping Brian Hartline, Browns add a receiver
With four draft picks devoted to the receiver position, the Browns decided not to pay veteran Brian Hartline $3 million for 2016. But they still need bodies at the position.
The Browns have announced that the team has added receiver David Richards to the roster.
Signed earlier this month by the Falcons as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona (and obviously cut), Richards faces a steep uphill climb to make it onto the 53-man roster, especially with 11 other receivers on the team and Josh Gordon potentially returning in August.
Steelers, Lions to practice together ahead of preseason game
The Lions did not hold joint practices with other teams in Jim Caldwell's first two years as the team's head coach, but that will change this summer.
The Lions and Steelers announced that the teams will practice together on August 9 and 10 at Steelers camp at Saint Vincent College before facing off in their preseason opener on Friday, August 12 in Pittsburgh. Joint practices have become popular in recent years as teams have found benefits in varying their practice routine by working against outside competition after weeks of banging heads with teammates.
The Patriots are frequently among the teams holding these sessions, which may explain why the Lions are shifting course from the last two years. They hired General Manager Bob Quinn out of the New England front office this offseason.
It's the second time that the Steelers are holding workouts with another team under head coach Mike Tomlin. They last did it with the Bills in 2014.
Roger Goodell will be earning his money on Tuesday
On Monday, a Congressional report slammed the NFL for trying to improperly influence a National Institutes of Health study regarding the possible detection of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in living patients. On Tuesday, the man PFT's Darin Gantt calls the world's highest-paid piñata could be spewing candy all over the place.
Whether it happens during his post-meeting press conference or whether it occurs behind closed doors with his bosses, Commissioner Roger Goodell is going to be facing tough questions on Tuesday in Charlotte regarding the conclusion that the league crossed the line by trying to tie a supposedly no-strings-attached donation to the selection of a researcher that the league deemed to be acceptable — and then by yanking $16 million for the study when the league didn't get its way. Goodell also may be asked to explain to those who pay him why the league didn't respond to the report more quickly and more aggressively.
For hours on Monday, the league was silent. Which suggests that the NFL didn't realize the report was coming or wasn't otherwise prepared to counter the potential determination that the league had engaged in allegedly unsavory behavior. Which could spark some tough questions from owners on Tuesday regarding the league office's handling of the issue.
It's still unclear where this specific issue will go. Unlike most other NFL-related controversies, it won't entail a judge banging a gavel or a jury reading a verdict. But it's another example of the part-bullying, part-wagon-circling ways of the NFL on issues of head trauma, which will undoubtedly give the opponents of the league even more reason to continue to search for more evidence of the same kind of behavior.
Report: Dwight Freeney to work out for Bengals
Veteran pass rusher Dwight Freeney went on ESPN recently to market himself to teams that might be looking for a little bit more off the edge this season and said his preference is to join a winning team.
Freeney's quest for that job will reportedly take him to Cincinnati. Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports that Freeney will work out for the Bengals this week.
Freeney had a team-high eight sacks and also added three forced fumbles in 11 games for the Cardinals after signing with them during the 2015 season. That production came in a situational role that showed Freeney hasn't lost much of his ability to get to the quarterback after 14 years in the NFL.
Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson are set to start at defensive end in the base 4-3 scheme that defensive coordinator Paul Guenther runs in Cincinnati, but the loss of Wallace Gilberry in free agency opens a role in sub packages that Freeney could fill.
If Brady deserves punishment, why not the same as for Stickum?
Remember when Buccaneers running back Errict Rhett was caught violating league rules by tampering with equipment in an effort to give himself a better grip on the football? You probably don't, because in that case the NFL didn't launch a months-long, multimillion-dollar investigation that concluded with Rhett being suspended and the Buccaneers being stripped of draft picks. No, when Rhett was caught putting Stickum on his jersey, the NFL responded by fining him $5,000.
With that decision, the NFL established a clear precedent that when a player commits an equipment violation, there's a policy in place: He gets fined, and that's the end of it. So why, when the NFL found that Tom Brady was caught violating the rules by tampering with equipment in an effort to give himself a better grip on the football, did the league have such a drastically different reaction?
That's a question Ted Olson, the former United States Solicitor General who's now part of Brady's legal team, would like to have answered. Olson appeared this morning on PFT Live and pointed out that the Collective Bargaining Agreement already provides for players to get fined if they break a rule related to equipment. If the NFL thinks Brady broke an equipment rule, the punishment should have been a fine, not a four-game suspension.
"There's a provision in the Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to equipment violations, and that's what Brady is accused of," Olson said. "We feel — and the evidence is very strong — that Tom Brady did not do anything wrong with respect to that. But if he did, and that's what he's accused of, those provisions are the appropriate provisions to apply. They call for a fine. . . . Instead, this very draconian punishment of a four-game suspension was imposed, instead of referring to the very provisions in the Agreement for people accused of violating the rules with respect to equipment. And the commissioner did not even discuss why he was not turning to that provision of the Collective Bargaining Agreement."
It's a strong argument on Brady's side, one that the Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit finds persuasive. And although NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wouldn't say so, it's easy to wonder whether, in hindsight, he had just put this whole thing behind him a year and a half ago by fining Brady and moving on.
Bills have no immediate plans to look for outside help after injuries
The Bills got two pieces of bad injury news recently with wide receiver Sammy Watkins' broken foot and linebacker Shaq Lawson's shoulder issue.
During an appearance on WGR 550 on Tuesday, General Manager Doug Whaley said that there hasn't been a firm timetable established for either player's recovery at this point but did say Lawson is expected to miss at least the early part of the regular season. Whaley said they don't anticipate Watkins will miss any time come September, but the team will have to prepare for that possibility in the coming months.
For now, neither that preparation nor the effort to replace Lawson will include an addition from outside the organization. Whaley was asked about signing veterans like Dwight Freeney and Anquan Boldin and said that the team wants to see how the players already on the roster fare before considering any move to bring in a new face.
Manny Lawson is expected to be the first man up at linebacker while the unrelated Lawson recovers from shoulder surgery. Greg Salas, Leonard Hankerson and rookie Kolby Listenbee are some of the receivers who will see more time while Watkins is out of the lineup.
Head of NFL's head, neck and spine committee slams Congressional report
The NFL's lead concussion doctor feels like he's been blindsided.
In an interview with Tom Pelissero of USA Today, Dr. Richard Ellenbogen, who co-chairs the league's head, neck and spine committee, denies he tried to direct funds for a research grant on the NFL's behalf and said he wasn't contacted before the Congressional report critical of the league's role was released.
Ellenbogen said his two phone calls with National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke director Dr. Walter Koroshetz were related to the research protocols, and not to influence whether a $16 million grant went to researchers at Boston University instead.
"We know there are long-term risks of traumatic brain injury, and we need to know the incidence and prevalence," Ellenbogen said. "Is it one in a million or is it 100 in a million? That was the entire thing that got blown up.
"I never talked to Congress. No one ever asked me my opinion. I had two private conversations with Walter, and this is a lesson I guess: Big Government can crush you if you disagree with them. I'm trying to protect the kids."
The Democratic staff report of the House Energy and Commerce Committee criticized the NFL, saying they tried to influence the direction of research funding.
The league has denied the allegations in the report, saying they were "deeply committed to continuing to accelerate scientific research and advancements in this critical area, and we stand ready to support additional independent research to that end."
Ellenbogen, who said he isn't paid by the NFL, defended his work studying concussions in youth players, and said he hoped for longitudinal studies to provide more information. He's taken up the cause after a patient of his (Zackery Lystedt) nearly died because of a brain hemorrhage after he re-entered a game following a concussion. He's advocated for a law that requires youth athletes who suffer concussions to receive written approval from a doctor before returning to play.
"Why would I go and lobby 50 states to pass the Zack Lystedt law if I wanted to hide the [issue]?" Ellenbogen said. "We put protection in place for kids. That's what I do. I'm there to make sports safer. Sports are good for kids. I want to make it safer. That's my role. Period.
"I had no delusions [about influencing the grant selection]. But as long as it's America, I get to express my opinion. And Congress never asked me. That's pretty interesting – guilty until proven innocent, huh?"
While the report may have been partisan, it's certainly an embarrassing visual for the league, and something owners will certainly want to learn more about from commissioner Roger Goodell at today's league meetings in Charlotte.

Colts draft bust Bjoern Werner is having more fun in Jacksonville
The Colts spent a first-round draft pick on pass rusher Bjoern Werner in 2013, and he was a huge disappointment, with just 6.5 sacks before he was released this year. But Werner, who has signed with the Jaguars, says he's now in the right place.
That doesn't just mean Jacksonville instead of Indianapolis — though it doesn't hurt to be closer to Florida State, where he played his best football. It mostly means back at defensive end, his college position, rather than outside linebacker, where the Colts tried to play him.
"It's just reminding me of being back in my college days because the last three years was a lot of standing up," Werner told the Florida Times-Union. "It makes it so much more fun putting your hand down."
Although some would say it was dumb of the Colts to put a square peg in a round hole by drafting a defensive end and moving him to outside linebacker, Werner says he takes responsibility for his failure in Indianapolis.
"I wasn't good enough for the team, I guess," Werner said. "I had never really experienced that part of the game before. I'm here and now I'm the outside guy looking in. I'm just trying to make the team."
If he can play defensive end like he did in college, he has a good chance.
Luke Joeckel out to prove he can still be left tackle of the future
The Jaguars have done everything to suggest to Luke Joeckel this offseason that he's not their left tackle of the future.
But the former No. 2 overall pick is determined to prove he can still be the left tackle of the present.
Via Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, Joeckel said he's fighting to keep the job expected of him since the 2013 NFL Draft, when he was the second player off the board, ostensibly to become a franchise cornerstone.
"I'm going in planning on winning the job," Joeckel said. "I'm competing for a spot – that's what this program is based on. I have to go out there and improve myself each and every day."
He'll have to. Already this offseason, the Jaguars went out and signed former Steelers left tackle Kelvin Beachum, and yesterday they gave Joeckel snaps at guard as part of the kind of experiments you try in the spring.
But the toughest blow was when they didn't pick up the 2017 option on his rookie contract, since they didn't want to guarantee $11.9 million a year from now to a guy they didn't know what to do with.
"I don't know if insulted is the right word for it," he said. "[General manager] Dave [Caldwell] was honest with me the whole time.
"You do take it personally, for sure. But I want to stick in Jacksonville. I like it here. It all comes down to my play and I know that."
Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said he could see a difference in Joeckel this spring, saying: "It feels like he's on a little bit of a mission."
A mission for a new contract, and to convince the Jaguars he can still be the guy they thought they were getting in 2013.
J.J. Watt still working on the side as Texans begin OTAs
Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has a cool new logo, and also some free time on his hands.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, Watt wasn't among the Texans practicing at the start of OTAs, as he recovers from offseason groin surgery.
Watt, the defending NFL defensive player of the year after a 17 1/2-sack season which also included a broken hand, worked out on the side while his teammates got started on the field.
He wasn't the only Texans star on the sidelines, as left tackle Duane Brown continues to recover from a torn quadriceps tendon. Brown has said he'll be ready by the start of the regular season.

: Barco and China Film Group to develop digital cinema market in China

China Film Group
just joined forces to form a new company aimed at developing China's digital cinema market. The newly formed CFG Barco (Beijing) Electronics Co. Ltd. brings together two Barco subsidiaries--Barco Visual (Beijing) Electronics Company Limited and Barco China (Holdings) Limited Company--with China Film Equipment Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of China Film Group. Established in 1951, China Film Equipment is a nationwide film equipment trading company affiliated directly with the State Administration of Radio, Film & Television.
Financial participation in the new joint venture is 58 percent Barco and 42 percent China Film Group.
Creative COW
spoke to Wim Buyens, Senior Vice President Barco N.V. and General Manager Entertainment Division, to learn more about the plans for Digital Cinema expansion in China.
Wim Buyens, Senior Vice President Barco N.V. and General Manager Entertainment Division. "We are proud of and confident in our investment and collaboration with China Film Group, and we are honored to work with China's best film equipment trading company."
"Barco has been in the Chinese market since 1989," explains Buyens. "Since 2004, we have had an R&D team in China that was primarily investigating the LED business market. With this announcement, we added also an R&D team for Digital Cinema."
In China there are approximately 12,500 multiplexes in China that will convert to Digital Cinema in the near future, says Buyens. "On a daily basis, two to three screens are added in the market, which equates to approximately1,000 new Digital Cinema screens per year," he says. "This is only for the top cinema theaters, however, so it doesn't take into account the local, smaller theaters."
Buyens reports that, by end of July 2011, more than 4,600 Barco digital cinema projectors were installed in China, covering 65 percent of that country's installed DC projectors. Barco, which has a global installation base of more than 20,000 projectors, has multiple factories in various regions of the world, including a Beijing factory that has already achieved a monthly production capacity of 500 projectors. "At the beginning of 2010 we started making the projectors in our own Barco facility in China," he says. "So half of these projectors were made in China, the other half in Belgium." Last year, Barco also set up a digital projector research center in Beijing, becoming the first foreign projector manufacturer to establish a research center in China.
Theatre Management System: "Manage your multiplex from a central location."
The emphasis is on strengthening localized development and production of Digital Cinema products and services in China. The plan is synergistic with China's new Five Year Plan (2011-2015), its 12th such plan, which is based on the forecast that the culture industry will enter a period of rapid development in the next five years and ultimately contribute 5 percent to the country's GDP.
Succeeding in the Chinese market is dependent on Barco "going completely local," says Buyens. "Indeed, our plan is to further localize in China," he says. "China is a very big market for Digital cinema but also for other projection applications. If you want to make a local product, then it needs to be designed locally, with local components, this is the only way forward." As such, Barco is employing Chinese citizens for its new R&D team, which will be comprised of between 50 and 60 persons.
China also largely shows its own movies, with the
Los Angeles Times
reporting that "last year, the Chinese government allowed only 54 foreign films into the country, and U.S. studios were able to share a percentage of box office revenue on just 21, according to research firm Artisan Gateway."
Barco Solutions deployed during the opening ceremony of the China National Games included 48 XLM HD30 projectors used for projection on the stadium's "giant cone-shaped" screen; with an additional 8 DML-1200 luminaires for dynamic projection.

That fact impacts Digital Cinema installations in China, says Buyens. "Several tens of thousands cinema theaters in China are theaters that are showing local, Chinese movies that are independent from Hollywood," he adds. "This means that these theaters do not necessarily need DCI compliant projectors which brings us to "e-cinema", the electronic cinema market. The joint venture will especially aim at that market so to be able to respond in the most efficient way."
Buyens also points out that "through its customer service facilities, sales, local R&D, and production, the new company will maintain the Barco brand and ensure Barco's world-class quality and service," while the experience and influence of China Film Equipment Co. Ltd. will enable the new company to build more effective communication channels and a stronger relationship with Chinese customers.
"This is another major milestone following our establishment of the research center in Beijing," concludes Buyens. "This roll-out of digital projector technology to many more cinemas will enable China's film industry to reach and benefit a larger audience of moviegoers."

Barco is not the only Digital Cinema company active in China, which is clearly a booming market for this industry sector.
GDC Technology
, a subsidiary of the Hong Kong publicly listed company Global Digital Creations Holdings Limited, which has installed approximately 3,700 2K digital cinema servers in China, announced it just passed the benchmark of 10,000 installations worldwide. In April 2002, the company installed what it said is the country's very first digital cinema server in Shanghai.
