OT: Tigers vs. Marlins open thread
Thought I would open a thread as the Tigers finish the season with a three-game series in Miami tonight.
- The Tigers are within one game of the A's for home-field advantage in the ALDS
- Martinez will probably be catching
- Will Cabrera start?
Rant Against the Playoff
I don't think I like what college football is becoming. I know the chaos of last year proved that the system is broken. But having 8-5 Wiscy at the Rose Bowl proves to me that the new way we're doing things (and trying to do more of in the future) isn't any better. Yes, I know Ohio is ineligible and so this season is an exception, but looking across the country and through history this isn't the first time undeserving teams win the little playoff game at the end of the season. The Big XII had it happen all the time. Georgia Tech nearly did it. UCLA had a chance to do it last season. And rematches are stupid, anyway, which is another reason I hate these expanded conferences and their title games.
Even worse to me was what SI's "mock" committee selected for the playoffs. The committee would have selected an Oregon team that didn't win its division, and they were flirting with the idea of sending three SEC teams. That makes very little sense to me - the whole point of playoffs is so we can take teams who've been isolated from each other but were the best in their isolated conferences, and match them up to see who's the best of the best. You don't think Stanford is deserving because they lost to the #1 team in the nation on a questionabl goal line stand? Fine - then send K-State, not an Oregon team who had a cakewalk of a non-conference schedule. But the morons who run college football are going screw up this playoff or expand it (which is also screwing it up).
I'll always love Michigan football and always watch them. But I used to love the "chase" for the national title, whether or not we were a part of it. I loved seeing who won what conference and who played in which bowl games and how the BCS filled their slots. But these last two seasons, that has been so unsatisfying. I almost wanted to see 6-6 GT win the ACC just so everyone can see how ridiculous this new system of super conferences and divisions are, with the de facto playoffs at the end that next year lead into the "national" playoffs.
For years we all clamored, begged, and wanted playoffs. I'm regretting what that has led to. We've ripped apart and thrown away traditional rivalries that made these conferences seems like families. I am beginning to wish Penn State had joined the Big East in 1982. I don't think it's crazy to say that none of this super conference bullshit would have happened with that being the case. Sure, maybe the SEC and Big 12 would have formed. But the 14 team Big Ten, the ACC and the Pac 12? Maybe, it was inevitable, I don't know.
Maybe I'll get used to it - Michigan at High Point Solutions Stadium to play Rutgers. Every conference having a title game, the champions meeting in the bowl game playoffs. Maybe the powers that be will figure out the kinks in the next few years and actually make it so 8-5
Wiscy doesn't head to the Rose. And it is a good thing that we'll no longer have our arguments about "who is better?" But is that worth what we've given up? Conferences felt like families, rivalries that built this sport? With Wiscy in the Rose and Maryland in the Big Ten the answer for me is no. And even if this season proves to be an anomaly, we would still have lost something with forsaking tradition and embracing a system that leaves no doubt who's "the champ." And college football is becoming a little bit less special as each of these moves happens.
Oh well. Sorry if this rant clutters up the board without adding anything, feel free to send me to Bolivia if neccessary.
OT: MHSAA Playoffs Preview (Good Luck Thread)
Well it's that time of year again. MHSAA playoffs start this weekend, by no means will I be able to give a complete run down but here is my attempt at key games this weekend. Some games are good matchups, others simply involve Michigan recruits/targets. If I blatently miss one please let me know.
Division 1
Traverse City West (6-3) at Rockford (7-2)
Perennial state championship contenders both very solid programs historically. Should be a very sound football game.
Catholic Central (5-4) at Hartland (8-1)
Tough season for CC, but their record could be misleading due to a very tough regular season schedule. *key player* Wyatt Shallman Catholic Central RB/DE
Cass Tech (7-2) at Grosse Pointe South (8-1)
Cass Tech has so much talent it is hard to believe they finished 7-4. *Key players* Jourdan Lewis Cass Tech CB, Jayru Campbell Cass Tech QB, David Dawson Cass Tech OG.
Division 2
Farmington Hills Harrison (6-3) at Fenton (8-1)
Fenton enters the game ranked #10 in the state (current Michigan Punter Kenny Allen's alma mater) Harrison is always loaded with talent, and should be the favorite even on the road. *Key player* Lorenzo Collins Harrison RB (Class 2014)
Brother Rice (7-2) at Port Huron (7-2)
Once again Brother Rice should factor into the State Championship. Although I think Midland and Muskegon are the top teams in the division.
Division 3
Marysville (6-3) at Detroit East English Acadamy (7-2)
Michigan recruit Khalid Hill (TE) leads the PSL runner-ups into the playoffs.
Division 4
Chandler Park (6-2) at Gross Ill (8-1)
Michigan recruit Csont'e York plays for Chandler Park... Sorry I don't have more info.
Also, for a found this website that has complete brackets for all 8 Divisions.
Playoff Expansion
I don't see the playoff expanding too much, and yes, it is for the #1 item on Brian's list, that is, academics. Expanding a playoff would be difficult for two (academic) reasons:
- Fall semester/quarter final exams
- Spring semester/winter quarter classes begin
Because the season (conference championship) isn't over until the first weekend in December you can't fit too many games in before classes start again in January. Here is a list of all of the Saturdays in December 2011-January 2012 until classes start.
- December 3 - Conference championship game
- December 10 - (Potential) CFB national quarters *
- December 17 - End of finals week
- December 24 - Student - Athletes go home for Christmas holiday **
- December 31 - CFB national semis
- January 7 - CFB national championship on following Monday (the 9th) ***
- January 14 - Classes have started (Probably by the 9th) or are about to start (16th)
December 10th and the 17th could probably be flip-flopped depending on how you wanted to handle it. For this reason, I see the ceiling at 8 teams. I also think that there is a diminishing return on a title game the later that you schedule it. For example, I didn't watch any more football after the Sugar Bowl this season. It just didn't make it across my radar. That, and I didn't really care about the Bama - LSU rematch.
* I never understood the whole "the best teams can't go to bowl games if the playoff is too big" argument. The "other 4" bowls can pick from the quarterfinal losers for their games. This idea also rebuts the argument against home sites (at least for the quarters) because they can still go to a bowl game somewhere that there is warm weather.
** I guess that there is an implicit "think of the children" argument here by letting them go home for Christmas. Bowl games played on/around Christmas at least let the student - athletes go home for New Years. Either way, letting 18-22 year olds go home to Mama doesn't seem like a big thing to consider.
*** I so hope that they play one of these at Lambeau. Or Soldier Field would be ok too. Or even Yankee Stadium (I guess...but then I'll have to call certain people "cold-weather pansies")
ACC Gets TV rights in new Orange Bowl Deal
According to Dennis Dodd over at CBS (came across my twitter feed, haven't seen a link yet), the ACC confirms that the league controls broadcast rights in new Orange Bowl Deal and they plan to take it to market. Dodd claims that this is a game changer, and it is.
In terms of the angst over how the bowls just have these guys-in-suits who make all this non-profit cash and embezzle the hell out of it (see the Fiesta Bowl)... they're getting somewhat squeezed out in the new playoff system. If the conferences start controlling the TV money, that's a bunch of millions that will go directly to the conferences rather than the bowls/guys in suits.
With the B1G/Pac12 collaboration, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rose Bowl TV $$ heading straight for the conferences soon.
OT - Detroit City FC plays its final regular season home game tomorrow vs. Erie Admirals!
Hey guys, just thought I'd give everyone a heads up that Detroit City FC plays its final regular season game tomorrow at Cass Tech high school in Detroit. So far, the team has a 4-1-5 record, with its only loss being to AFC Cleveland. DCFC is in first place in its division, and thus controls its own destiny during its last two games (we play tonight, away, at FC Buffalo).
If you have yet to come out to any of the games, please take this opportunity to do so! Last weekend we had a record crowd of 1743, and we hope to break that this weekend against Erie. Additionally, tomorrow is family day at the game, so all kids 12 and under get in free. Plus, if you love the atmosphere of the student section at a Michigan football game, you will absolutely LOVE the atmosphere of the supporters' section. It's a one of a kind experience.

How to Add Binary Numbers
Adding binary numbers is very similar to adding decimal numbers, but with a few minor exceptions.
1Align the numbers you wish to add as you would if you were adding decimal numbers.
2Start with the two numbers in the far right column.
3Add the numbers following the rules of decimal addition (1+0 = 1, 0+0 = 0) unless both numbers are a 1.
4Add 1+1 as "10" if present. (it is not "ten" but "one zero"). Write "0" below and carry a "1" to the next column.
5Start on the next column to the left hand side.
6Repeat the steps above, but add any carry. Remember that 1+1 = 10 and 1+1+1 = 11. Remember to carry the "1".

- You can only use the digits 0 and 1. If you find yourself using 2 or any other digit, you did something wrong.

Skip to comments.Argument over loud music led to teen's fatal shooting, cops say(Trayvon Martin redux?)
Posted on 11/27/2012 10:23:53 PM PST by Arthurio
click here to read article
Further reports state that the police found no weapon in the car or near the scene, and that all the passengers in the SUV remained on the scene to make reports.
As it stands, there is zero evidence that anyone in that car was armed.
As you say, the shooter fled the scene and did not contact the police until after the incident was being reported on the news.
The shooter has been described as a "gun collector" but there is no report I've yet seen saying he had a CCW.
More details about the dead teenager are emerging - unlike Trayvon Martin he was apparently a student in good standing at a magnet high school (we'll see if this claim changes) and he was reportedly gainfully employed in an after-school job at a supermarket.
It's unclear if the shooter was coming from or going to a wedding when the incident occurred, but if he was coming from the wedding, there will be testimony about how much he was drinking.
Barring any shocking new facts, this guy is done - and if he was a CCW holder, he may bring Floridians' 2A rights with him.
My impression is that this is the kind of thing you only see in the movies or among criminal perps. This being a regular guy, I have my doubts. I'm inclined to think that he saw a sudden movement inside the SUV suggesting that a weapon was being readied for use, whereupon he reached for his holstered gun and opened fire. While I think it was a bad idea for him to talk to a bunch of black teenagers who were strangers to him about the noise they were making, simply because of the risk (1) that they were criminals and (2) of escalation, it's not a crime to act in self-defense. Nonetheless, I think there's a chance he may go down for negligent homicide.
He accosted them about their earsplitting sound system.
It wasn't self-defense. It was a public service.
No argument from me ZF, but let me ask you something. Were you his legal representative, how would you be able to prove self defense? Sure, he may have seen a sudden movement that made him assume incorrectly, but is that a cogent defense? With the lack of a weapon, and his exit from the scene without reporting the incident to the authorities, I really wouldn't want to be him. I honestly do not see any way he'd get away with this, and that is without the media attention this case is getting. This is a man in serious need of Alladin's genie, and even then it may not be sufficient.
The bigger problem here is that Dunn used a pistol when that situation most properly called for the deployment of a fragmentation device.
What did you survive? Some guy addressing you from his car?
Get real. This isn't a cheesy 1970s made for TV movie.
I can go out in my front yard and rev up an old Homelite SuperXL chainsaw and as long as the doors and windows are all closed you could sit inside and hardly be aware of it yet we occasionally have one of these DISRESPECTFUL ^&*(_ to come driving by a quarter mile away and I can feel the vibrations in my chair, it makes you wonder just what kind of noise it might be until you stop and think.
This kind of noise is part of a whole syndrome of wanting to attract attention by acting like a thug and wearing pants with the belt halfway to the knees is part of it also. Little do these clowns realize that real tough guys don't need to act like an idiot to attract attention. They disgust me and some of them are actually palefaces trying to act like blacks. If they want to act like they are black why can't they act like Alan West?
"Gunning someone down at the quick stop and then fleeing the scene and spending the night in a motel, doesnt help one to appear like a man with a clean case of self-defense."
Apparently neither does staying around for the police (Zimmerman).
We'll see what comes to light in the months ahead. A forensic team will comb the SUV for any evidence left unscrubbed and if he's lucky, they'll find something corroborating his claims. The smart thing to do would have been to call 911, but it's clear that not everyone thinks straight after having been involved in a shooting.
Attempted robbery.
What is your point in regards to this shooting, that the man was wise to flee the scene and the cameras that filmed it?
You left out the description of the attempted robbery, how did it go, how did you get away, what weapons did they display, did they chase you?
Your post said fleeing hurt his case.
Zimmerman stayed and it didn't matter—presumed guilty by you.
Stay and be damned by you.
Flee and be damned by you.
Can't win with you.
End of discussion.
And the hoodie is a nice touch.
They couldn't find a picture of him without it??
Has Benjamin Crump held his news conference yet???
Yeah, you are really on top of things.
To: Arthurio
Not everything is a Trayvon Martin, where the guy is leaped on and is on the ground fighting for his life, and is already bloody and battered as he desperately squeezes off a shot that saves his life.
It isnt fair to Zimmerman and to extreme self-defense cases, to keep using this Trayvon thing so casually and as a catch phrase.

He's going to have a problem.
Here is some of Dunn's side of the story coming out. Notice there are direct contradictions in the accounts.
This is becoming a he said/she said case. We will see who becomes more credible. Of course the black youths have a leg up because the black youths reported the shooting before he did.
It was a major mistake to not report it, but consider what the media has set up in the Trayvon Martin case. Zimmerman cooperated with the police from the start, yet he has been demonized. Dunn never knew if anyone had been hurt, until later, while Jordan's friends had to come up with an explanation for his death. How long was it after the shooting that they reported the incident?
Actually that worked in Zimmerman's favor as it gained him favor from law enforcement. Furthermore they were able to gather all the forensic evidence to validate his story which would not have been possible if he had fled.
This guy has none of that in his favor.
So he has no corroborating witness.
Shooting bullets into the city and neighborhoods at fleeing bad guys is one of my pet peeves, whether they are cops are non-cops.
There better be a darn good reason for shooting bullets into the rest of the people's lives in the area.
Hey, Lemonidis, Zimmerman was not a vigilante and he did not flee the scene and he only fired his weapon once.
In the days to come you and Dunn will wish the facts fit the Zimmerman case.
The story is still developing. There may be video, there may be other witnesses. She collaborates that the losing parties in the encounter fled the scene as well (as you might expect).
We do not know much about both parties yet. Statistically, the scenario described by Dunn is much more common than the scenario that the friends of Jordan describe.
Get real. This isn't a cheesy 1970s made for TV movie.
Most defensive uses of firearms are not reported to police, even most cases where shots are fired, which happen in about 5 percent of the cases.
Where do you see this? I do not. It seems clear that the SUV left the scene, then came back to another area later. Did the driver of the SUV take Jordan to a hospital? This would seem to be the obvious thing to do.
Loud thumping noise that can heard three blocks away is a deliberate anti-social provocation. The culprits most often are black. Sometimes a car pulls along side mine at a light and is so loud that MY car rocks and vibrates. I certainly understand why it drove the shooter nuts. My house is constantly rattled by thugs driving down the boulevard behind my house; I resent the hell out of it. The law does nothing to stop it. A few more nationally publicized shootings might drive home a point to some of those cretins.
"Ive been waiting for this to happen. This is not merely loud music, This is WAY beyond that. Its extreme low frequency vibration that carries for blocks. "
That's the truth. A lot of these kids are gonna be stone deaf before they get much older. Good thing they'll have Obamacare. /s
Don't try to tell us that normal people merely get the girlfriend in the car and then go to a motel room, and hope that the cameras and witnesses didn't get our information.
Is Dunn claiming that the shotgun was fired at him???
Or, this is a middle aged business executive responding to a shotgun pointed at him and emptying the magazine to stop the threat as the SUV rockets away.
Yes, he made a mistake, a big one, in not calling the police to the scene. But, how many people here on FR make stupid comments about shoot, shovel, and shut up? People are not always thinking the clearest after a deadly force encounter.
You assume that he knew that he had hit and killed someone, but there is no reason to believe that he knew that he even hit anyone.
Not that I have seen.
Well we know for a fact that he shot and killed someone, but we don't know for a fact that a shotgun was pointed at him.
Why play the internet weirdo and start working on a long imaginative narrative about a shooting that you don't know about yet, but are determined to try and pretend that what little we do know isn't real, while your narratives are?
So far, the facts are that this guy killed a man, fired shots at a fleeing car, and then got his girlfriend and fled to a motel.
This guy is in some serious trouble.
I don't condone what happened, I'm just saying I knew eventually something like this would happen.
For this is not merely loud music. It's torture. This is ultra low frequency vibration that carries for blocks, goes through walls and into your house and rattles you in your chair, wakes up you up if you're sleeping and scares small children and grandmothers. Until recently I had neighbors who would wake me up 5-7-10-12 times a day with these car subwoofers. They need to be banned. We banned Glasspacks and Engine Brakes and they both are nowhere's near as loud, far-reaching and pervasive as these subwoofers.
I, having tinnitus, am very sensitive to this. I have gone up to drivers and asked them to please turn it off and was met with a hearty "F-U!" and "Mind your own F-ing business". I said "Pal, you've made this my business" and stared at him like I was a crazy man.
I just walked away thinking to myself - somebody is going to get hurt over this some day. Well, it happened.
Right. It's a shame that people will be hurt and possibly die because our elected officials are too timid to address the problem and ban the subwoofers.
This is an outrageous article by CNN, someone needs to post it.
He is in trouble.
So far, the facts are that this guy killed a man, fired shots at a fleeing car, and then got his girlfriend and fled to a motel.
This guy is in some serious trouble.
I am no more portraying an imaginary scenario than you are. There are at least two sides to this account. You are accepting one side because it was presented first.
You could as easily say some people pointed a shotgun at a man who responded with lethal force. They fled the scene and then concocted a story for the police. That is what the other side is saying. Should we believe one side over the other, because the side that lost the encounter went to the police first?
I agree, we do not know much about it yet, but you are certainly accepting a version of it. I am saying that there is at least one alternate version.
He is in trouble.
I absolutely agree with you. He is in serious, big time, trouble. He should have called the police from the convenience store.
Dunn said he saw the barrel of the gun and then reached into his glove compartment and then had to take the time to load his weapon. That's going to be a problem.
Don't play that game, you are making up an imaginary narrative of events, not me.
What I posted seem to be the accepted basic outline of the story so far.
""So far, the facts are that this guy killed a man, fired shots at a fleeing car, and then got his girlfriend and fled to a motel.""
That's is correct, actually the clerk that they bought the wine from had probably already called the police, the shooter should have waited for them.
Back when I was a youngster, I played bass. I had a station wagon. I had the use of a MASSIVE speaker for the bass, it was just easier to leave the thing in the car than to lug it into and out of the house. I had to fold the back seat flat to accommodate it. It was almost the size of a twin bed. I bought a decent amplifier and equalizer for it, and found that it delivered wonderful tone quality when played at a reasonable volume, which I preferred. Reasonable to me at that age meant that you could have a normal conversation in the car while it was playing.
One day I rolled up to a red light while passing through a sketchy neighborhood, and some nasty thug rolled up next to me with his crap blaring out the windows, giving 'you want a piece of me?' looks at everyone who appeared not to like it.
I put on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and turned it up to the point where it was practically shaking the bolts loose in my car. He looked like somebody's grandmother had just decked him with a right hook. Even pedestrians were laughing.
It had the same effect on me as a day at the range without hearing protection would have, so I never did it again. Funny as hell, though.
The link that you posted does not say what you typed.
Uncle Chip typed:
"Dunn said he saw the barrel of the gun and then reached into his glove compartment and then had to take the time to load his weapon. Thats going to be a problem."
Here is what was at the link:
"Absolutely he was threatened. He was threatened," Dunn's attorney, Robin Lemonidis, said. "With a firearm. Mr. Dunn is very, very familiar with firearms. He is an avid firearms owner. Has a concealed weapons permit. Had his firearm properly secured and encased in his glove compartment, no rounds in the chamber, and when he started hearing epithets, and I don't think I should say them here, in polite company, epithets that were extraordinarily threatening to him."
She went on to say what her client told her he heard the teens say.
"Uh, 'Kill that mother (expletive),' 'That mother (expletive) is dead,' 'You dead (expletive),'" Lemonidis said of what Dunn heard from the teens. "And he sees that much of a shotgun coming up over the rim of the SUV, which is up higher than his Jetta, and all he sees are heavily tinted front windows that are up and the back windows that are down, and the car has at least four black men in it, and he doesn't know how old anyone is, and he doesn't know anything, but he knows a shotgun when he sees one because he got his first gun as a gift from his grandparents when he was in third grade."
Jacksonville police said Monday there was no gun found in the victim's vehicle.
"I humbly suggest that they may not have looked hard enough, and it certainly would not have been in the vehicle when they looked unless they had stopped it immediately, which I doubt they did," Lemonidis said.
<>The link that you posted does not say what you typed.<>
Oh Really!!!!
Did you fail to click on the little black box there with arrow in the middle with the word "PLAY" in it. Do that and the talking torsos will come up. Fast forward to 7:20 mark and listen to the federal prosecuting attorney.
He says that per Dunn's own words, he reached into the glove box, gets the gun, loads the gun, and uses the gun. It doesn't meet the requirements of being in imminent fear of death. He could just as easily backed his car up and driven away.
He dunn got big problems and his lawyer knows it. That's why she is babbling nonsensically saying stuff like this:
"but he knows a shotgun when he sees one because he got his first gun as a gift from his grandparents when he was in third grade."

I'm starting with my first layout (master thesis: rf frontend) in Cadence SPB 15.7 and have a lot of questions. Here are some of them:
1.) Before I start with the schematic, I think I have to create the schematic-symbols and the footprints of the ICs. I already followed a tutorial which showed how to make the padstacks and the footprints with assembly outline, silkscreen outline, package boundary. I startet with an easy footprint of the MAX4447 with SOIC 16 pins. But I have no tutorial which explains how to create the schematic-symbol and how to link it with my new footprint. Any idea where to find one?
2.) The next parts, I have to create are TSSOP20, SOT-89, QFN-LP3, 20pin MCM, 56TQFN, SOT3, SOT-666, QFN-6.
It's a lot of work and I don't know if everything I do is correct. So are there downloadable footprint packages which contain some of my needed footprints? I think I have to compare every downloaded footprint with the datasheet of the part but it would speed up my work a lot.
3.) Any other hints? =)
In reply to Khurram:
Sorry i forget to attached the utility, here it is .......
Thank you for the link, I downloaded the tool a few minutes before your post and I think it will help me a lot.
I have Cadence SPB 15.7 with "Design Entry HDL". When I start "Design Entry HDL" I have the choice between:
"Allegro Design Entry HDL L"
"Allegro PCB Design HDL L"
"Allegro PCB Design HDL XL (PCB Design Expert)"
"ConceptHDL (legacy)"
In reply to First Layout:
Who would start a master's thesis on an expired toolset? What university are you at? What is your thesis?
In reply to redwire:
Hi Yes you will first need to have the schematic part "symbols" ready to be placed onto your schematic, and once you have a working schematic each part "symbol" will need to be assigned a "PCB Footprint", that way when you ECO (engineering change order) from your schematic into allegro, Allegro knows which footprints to call upon to bring into your layout design. so you do need schematic symbols and pcb footprints, before a layout and be proceeded with. yes 15.7 is a little old hat, I use 16.01 (even though there is 16.2 currently available) 16.3 is coming out very soon also. good luck on your design. Stephen Grant-Davies - QuantumCad.
In reply to HANUMAGOUDA:
(1) first and foremost, you should realise when you install Cadence Allegro, it will install footprint libaries for you these can be viewed and used from
you just need to open them (*.dra) ( its probably worth opening some up and experimenting here to get an idea)
eg cap300.dra ( you also might notice for every *.dra file there is also a psm this is normal and Allegro needs both of these for its ECO process.
(2) every part on your schematic needs an allocated footprint eg (cap300) you dont need to add in the .dra
once this is complete you also need to make sure in setup user preferances, Paths are set up correctly either for using cadence default lib or in case you want to use your own. alternatively to that, you can just place your *dra and *.psm files in the exact same folder as your intended .brd this way you dont need to configure paths (your choice)
(3) you should now be able to take your schematic into Allegro, oviously you might encounter isues along the way but thats generally a good starting point. good luck, it is a bit of a learning curve to use Allegro, but once you do, its one of the best PCB CAD tools on the market.

Nice gravity effect on the face. But why not on the boobs?
Yes, I tried .... ^^"

The Philadelphia Eagles, despite reports, are still interested in WR Plaxico Burress. The Eagles know the team needs a large body complement to wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Furthermore, the barely 6'0″ Michael Vick needs an enhanced red-zone threat. Head coach Andy Reid knows that Plaxico Burress represents a target that will go over the middle and, more importantly, be a touchdown comodity. Reportedly, over the summer, Burress has said (WCAU, 610 WIP and 97.5 The Fanatic) he is a perfect fit for Reid's system.
Most NFL insiders know that Burress will not command a big money contract. Burress is attainable at a mid-level figure. Last year, the 34-year-old gained 612 yards on 45 receptions with eight touchdowns. That is great production for a guy who missed two NFL seasons due to being incarcerated.
Plaxico is listed at 6'5 232 pounds. Burress would provide Michael Vick an excellent red-zone target. Fielding the trio of DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Plaxico Burress would give opposing defenses a fit.
Adding Burress to quarterback Micheal Vick's arsenal, along with a cohesive offensive line, will dramatically increase the red-zone efficiency.
Burress will only be better in his second season away from the game. As many Eagles' fans regretfully know, Plaxico loves playing at Lincoln Financial Field. Burress has caught five career touchdown passes at The Linc. The addition of Burress can only enhance the offense. Vick should and will be, lobbying forBurress. After-all, the Eagles are striving to be a dynasty, right?

The new-look Houston Rockets tip off their 2013-14 campaign in just a matter of days, yet coach Kevin McHale has yet to decide on a starting power forward. At this point, Terrence Jones, Donatas Motiejunas and Omri Casspi are in the mix, but McHale also seems open to the idea of starting Omer Asik next to Dwight Howard, despite the obvious problems that might create.
Who will be Rockets' starting PF?

Oklahoma representative takes up banner of flag design
Rep. Shane Jett said one exclamation point has gotten him more attention than the rest of his work during his four years as a legislator combined. "People ask me if there aren't more important things for me to work on," the Tecumseh Republican said Thursday. "I am. They're just not paying any attention to them." Jett, as chairman of the House International Relations and Tourism Committee, introduced a bill this legislative session to italicize the word "OKLAHOMA" on the state flag and put an exclamation point at the end. The bill also would create an official state abbreviation: OK! Jett said he has introduced more legislation on rural Internet access and wireless coverage than anyone else over the past few years, but nothing has drawn the response the proposed flag change has. "I was just looking for a way to improve our image ... and get some good, solid publicity," Jett said. But he immediately ran into a buzz saw: the people of Ponca City and their contingent in the state Legislature, made up of Sen. David Myers and Rep. Ken Luttrell. Ponca City was the home of Louise Fluke, who designed the current flag, and the locals take considerable pride in that fact. "Our community is deeply initiated in the heritage of the flag," said Luttrell, a Democrat. "We're just unalterably opposed to any change." Myers, a Republican, gives talks on the flag's history and also opposes any changes, Luttrell said. Fluke's design was adopted in 1925, replacing an earlier flag that featured a white star on a red background. According to popular belief, that design became unpopular after World War I because it was thought to resemble a communist banner. The original Fluke flag, however, did not have "OKLAHOMA" on it at all. That was added in 1941. Jett's bill to make the flag changes has made it out of committee and awaits consideration on the House floor. "It seemed like a good idea," Jett said. "If it gets picked up here and there, it could give us hundreds of thousands of dollars in free publicity."
BACKGROUNDState flag's history Oklahoma's first flag was adopted in 1911 — four years after statehood. It consisted of a single blue-trimmed white star bearing the number 46 on a red field. The flag soon fell out of favor, supposedly because it was thought to resemble the flag of the newly formed Soviet Union. A 1924 contest to find a new design was won by Louise Fluke of Ponca City. The Legislature formally adopted the Fluke flag the following year. Fluke's design of an olive branch and calumet crossed over an Osage war shield on a blue field remains in use today. The word "OKLAHOMA" in block capitals was added under the shield in 1941. A 1988 statute standardized the flag's colors using the Pantone Matching System.

Kaeser Kompressoren is proud to introduce four next generation portable compressors covering a free air delivery range between 7.5 and 17 m³/min. They not only feature the very latest Stage IIIB compliant diesel engines with exhaust gas treatment, such as oxidation catalytic converters and particulate filters, as standard, but also include several design improvements such as optimised possibilities for on-board compressed air treatment.
Innovative, intelligent, integrated –– The new i.HOC rotation dryer, shown here as an attachment unit on a KAESER DSG series dry-running rotary screw compressor, provides a dependable source of quality compressed air with pressure dew points to -30°C.
Kaeser Kompressoren introduces filters that offer extremely low pressure differential with exceptional filtration efficiency. Low pressure differential means less energy demand.

This simple home remedy has worked 100% of the time for anyone that has tried it. Instead of suffering with a sore throat for a week or more, you can drive it away immediately, sometimes in less than a day. However, this remedy is not medical advice; it is a shared experience that really works! This site is not for profit; it's aim is simply to help people cure their sore throats.
The most common sore throat remedies for sore throat are usually over-the-counter sprays, lozenges and pastilles that are ineffective and smelly. The most common doctor-prescribed remedies are antibiotics, which take time to obtain, cost money and can have many negative side effects.
Most often, people waste time waiting while trying to figure out whether
or not they really have a sore throat. By the time they realize they do
have a sore throat, it's usually to the point that they are already suffering
from serious sore
throat pain, can barely speak, swallow or even eat.
This remedy is salt, and not just about gargling saltwater, it is actually about using common table salt as it is.
What you have to do is: tilt your head backwards and shake a little bit of salt straight into the back of your throat. Make sure you shake it straight into your throat, onto the base of your tongue and not over the middle or the tip your tongue (this way you will not suffer from any unpleasant taste). After that, do not swallow your saliva, just let the salt dissolve right there on the back of your throat, letting the salt stay there for as long as you possibly can. If you're using a salt shaker, shake 2 to 6 times depending how bad your sore throat is. If you're using a fast food style paper saltshaker, you should shake about 1/4 of the packet directly into your throat.
Also highly suggested, is to shake an even larger amount of salt into your throat right before you go to sleep for the night. During your sleep, without food or drink, bacteria thrive without any interruption to incubation and growth. Therefore, using salt while you are asleep can be extremely effective. Keep a salt shaker near your bed. If you wake up in the middle of the night feeling sore, you can shake some more salt into your throat.
Salt is a very old remedy that kills bacteria. In the old days they traditionally used salt to preserve meat and fish. Why? Because salt attracts water and attacks the bacteria cell walls, causing the bacteria to dehydrate and self-destruct in the process.
If your sore throat is really severe you can use salt as often as every 30 minutes. Use it as soon as you feel the first symptoms of a sore throat and the earlier you use it, the faster you'll get rid of that sore throat.
Salt is available nearly everywhere. You can stop in to any fast food place on any street and grab some. Don't wait around trying to figure out whether or not your sore throat is serious. Instead you can use this quick sore throat cure. As soon as you feel the first signs of a sore throat, use the salt immediately. Gargling salt water is not nearly as effective since the concentration of salt is not high enough to take care of the problem. Also, gargling water requires a cup of water and the time to dissolve the salt in it, yet more inconvenience that makes you wait for relief.
Not all sore throats are the result of a bacteria infection. Sometimes the cause is a virus, commonly known as influenza virus. Many times your sore throat starts as a viral infection which develops into a bacterial infection. Salt is intended to fight only the bacteria, not the virus. Therefore salt might not be totally effective if you are suffering from a viral throat infection. Nevertheless, you really have nothing to lose by using salt. According to experience, salt can be extremely effective in most all cases, depending on the cause of your sore throat.
A sore throat is also often the first stage of a common cold, also known as the Flu. First to arrive is the sore throat, followed by nasal congestion and coughing. If you can take care of it fast, you won't wear down your immune system fighting the sore throat and your immune system has more energy to fight the other cold symptoms. Therefore, using salt could also shorten the total duration of suffering from the common cold.
Everybody suffers from a sore throat every year. If you find this advice to be useful - feel free to share it with your friends - and send them a link to this site.

To all the skeptics, this method REALLY does work. My family has also sworn by it. We have been using salt treatments for throat pain and discomfort for as long as I can remember. Thank god, for good people who help others. This is a wonderful thing, helping others!
This worked great thanks!!!!!!!!!!
i thought it was totally aweesome im telling everyone i know
great stuff you guys are doing
Hi! Thanks for all the great information.
I've often shaken salt into my mouth due to our hard water and the lack of salt in it. Today I was in search of a cure for my sore throat and here I am. I will be following your remedy and I thank you for posting it.
I cannot believe this, i am on my sixth day of a severe sore throat and have bought chloraseptic spray, Strepsils various other lozenges, I wasnt eating because it was too uncomfortable. After finding this site I tried the method twice although i may of used more salt than advised, this was maybe four hours ago, I can now swallow my own saliva not spitting it out all over and have just enjoyed a meal.
Why isnt this information widely available?

Breast-Feeding Your Newborn and an Older Child
Breast-Feeding Your Newborn and an Older Child
Topic Overview
Breast-feeding more than one child is called tandem breast-feeding. If you continue to feed your older child along with your newborn, keep in mind that the newborn's feeding is the higher priority.
Some general feeding guidelines can help ensure that your newborn is properly nourished:
- Feed the newborn about 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period, without time limitations.
- During the first 3 days after the birth, focus all your efforts on breast-feeding the newborn. Always breast-feed your newborn before an older child. This ensures that your baby is nourished with colostrum . You may want to stop breast-feeding the older child for these 3 days, although he or she can breast-feed right after your newborn has finished.
- Closely monitor your newborn's weight gain and growth.
If you decide to breast-feed more than one child, make sure your newborn has a healthy growth pattern. Talk to your doctor about any specific questions or concerns. Be aware that the interruptions in your older child's breast-feeding routine may naturally begin the weaning process.

Nikon AW110 audio fading
I bought a new Nikon AW110 today. It is mostly pretty good. However, the audio seems to sporadically fade for about a second.
I this Youtube video it can be heard about 0:22, 0:32, and 1:15
I don't think it is the fault of the water. The first two were before I even went into the water. Some other test videos do the same. It is not a Youtube artifact. My video player in the computer does the same.
I'm wondering if I should just accept this or return it to Target while I can.
Any opinions?

Edit Article
How to Be a Teen Mentor
Some teens are responsible enough to be entrusted the care and teaching of younger ones. They are leaders and good role models who have the chance to help others.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Take chances. If someone starts telling you about how hard a certain subject is, offer to help study. Or if you overhear about someone's poor grades, find a way to be a homework partner.
2Sign up. Programs such as "Big brother, big sister" are very respectable. Many kids lives and confidence are improved thanks to volunteers. In high school, optional classes such as mentoring are given. Find a way to get it on your schedule. If not, then your community library or church may have one.
3Be seen. Finding opportunities to help special ed children or assisting the teachers will put out the word of your work. Do a good job and truly care.
4Do it yourself. Sometimes there isn't a place for you. Make posters or somehow announce that you have a date, time, and location set up for people to meet if they would be willing to accept help. Confirm that it is free of charge (or not). Be ready with necessary supplies/knowledge so you can explain to them how to do certain assignments.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Be a good person. If there's word out there about you being good with kids, parents will be more excited about letting them come to you.
- No one may show up to your study sessions. Don't be disappointed - just keep trying if you really want to.

This book is an outcome of a national conference entitled "Teaching Methods and Patient Care with Emphasis on the Weed System," held in September 1971 at Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta. Its purpose is to bring together in a single volume the experiences of those who have been actively involved in implementing "The Problem-Oriented Record" in various settings in the health care arena.
The paperback book is divided into eight parts, of which three merit particular emphasis. The essence of this work is captured in part 2, entitled "Practical Considerations," where the logic of the system is described and then considered in regard to its mechanics, its value, and ways of implementation. Part 3 deals with its educational implications at the undergraduate and graduate levels, while part 5 addresses itself to its value in private practice and continuing medical education.

Robots Take Over Starwood Hotels!
August 22, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
Check into Aloft Hotels, and you may just run into some robotic customer service. Aloft Hotels, the tech-forward brand of Starwood Hotels, has introduced the hotel brand's first Botlr (robotic butler) at Aloft Cupertino. The addition is a logical next step for Aloft, which is known for its industry-first smart check-in program, Cool Concierge program, and piloting Apple TV in-room services.
A.L.O the Botlr will be on call to assist his Aloft human counterparts in delivering amenities to guests. Guests simply call down to the front desk, and the three-foot tall robot, who is on call 24/7, will fulfill every request. Staff load up A.L.O with the desired items (such as a toothbrush, an extra blanket, etc.) and then enter the correct guest room. A.L.O uses WiFi to get around, and call navigate hallways and call the elevator. Best of all, cash tips aren't accepted by A.L.O. Instead, the robot accepts tweets as tips. #cool
If A.L.O is successful, additional Botlrs will be implemented in Aloft's nearly 100 properties.

He has operated this business for one and a half years. He purposely located himself in a specific community where there was not a butcher shop. He feels this has been an important factor in his business' success.
Silvere will buy a refrigerator and a small generator. The electricity in Brazzaville is unreliable and, if it is off for too long, his meat will spoil. The generator will allow him to keep his freezers and refrigerator running even if the electricity goes out.
Silvere has received three previous loans from Kiva's partner, HOPE Congo. He has a very good repayment record. As he continues to grow, he wants eventually to transport live fish to Brazzaville from the coast. This will allow him to stock a greater variety of fish as well as offer very fresh fish to his customers. He hopes that his two boys will be successful and wants to be able to provide them with a good education.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Now Bouley Is in a Sue-Vide Situation
Another day, another drama.
Last week, we heard Daniel Boulud was suing some DBGB poser upstate, and now Brushstroke and Test Kitchen's David Bouley is suing a pesky neighbor — who's been on Bouley's back with a number of unsavory accusations, like abusing illegal workers and 9/11 fraud — for $600,000, stating the nosey nabe had caused the Bouley "financial harm."
