Ishu for the Goal Frenzy!
'mon all
the update is written and will be with you at 9pm
Welcome to the December Show, Coming up today we have the final Semi Final of the English Regional War and the last two quarter finals of the World Wars as well as a Gauntlet Quarter final and the first two quarter finals from goal frenzy. Unfortunately no bids were put in for the challenge belt battle or for any grudge matches so there will be none of them this month.
World Wars Quarter Final 3
This match sees two of the unfancied robots going up against each other for a place in the world wars semi final and top four overall in the world. It's time for Armadou Traore-Mcnamee vs Sam Flynn
Armadou Traore-Mcnamee was left out of the first match of the month as Oxford lost 2-0 to Chesterfield, this prompted the manager to change the team around a bit and he was restored to the line up for the game against Stevenage, unfortunately this also ended up in a loss with Armadou coming out with a 6.1 rating, despite this he was left in the starting line up as Oxford took on Wycome and drew 0-0 rating in at 6.9. The manager then decided he'd had his chance and so was left completely out of the squad as Oxford got battered 4-0 at home to barnet, this hammering saw him restored to the side for the win over Burton rating in at 7.0. He started the final game of the month a defeat to Crewe rating at 6.5.
Score 6.63
Sam Flynn got an injury 4 days into the month which ended any hope he had of making a brake-through at Leeds keeping him out for the entire month.
Score 0.00
Well that was the walkover many of us predicted although Armadou will have to improve considerably if he wishes to make the final, as for Sam Flynn its come back again next year.
World Wars Quarter Final 4
This is an interesting matchup both Chris Hatton and Dead Metal performed poorly in the heats, but somehow dead metal is the public's second favourite to win this competition picking up 36% of the vote. Let's find out which of the robots has managed to lift their performance and qualify for the Semi Final.
Chris Hatton has started to make his breakthrough at Carrarese; he was on the bench for the game against Bellaria and came off it in the second game of the month against Crociati Noceto. He was left out of the squad for the final game before the winter break
Score 6.50
Dead Metal has failed to make any more appearances for Newcastle this month and is still training with the reserves.
Score 0.00
Well that went against popular predictions with the second favourite for the competition Dead Metal dropping out of the competition at this stage. Anyway the draw for the semi final has now been made
Chip Butty vs Armadou Traore-Mcnamee
Joe Tompkins vs Chris Hatton
English Regional Wars Semi Final 2
Maz Armley vs Chip Butty should be an interesting battle as they both scored well in the heats. Chip Butty is the favourite for the competition so you would expect him to progress.
Maz Armley came off the bench in the game against Kidderminster in the 1-1 draw rating at 6.4. He was then an unused substitute in the FA Trophy clash against Guiseley before being left out of the squad completely against Grimsby. He started the defeat to bath rating at 6.7, before in the final game of the month being an unused sub as York beat Mansfield.
Score 6.55
Chip Butty was injured before the month started and is still expected to be out for another 3 or 4 months.
Score 0.00
Well that was a surprise, the hot favourite for this competition is out. Maz Armley has pulled off a great coup in winning this match but will have to do so once again if he wants to win as he goes up against Alex Seddon in the final.
Gauntlet Second Quarter Final
The random number generator chose number 7 for the first time, this is most passes completed so that is what George Tugby and Mackemkillah will be judged on
George Tugby is still training with the Everton u18 squad and made no appearances for the first team this month, he did however pick up a major injury which is expected to keep him out for another 3 or 4 months.
Score 0
Mackemkillah racked up 35 passes in the 0-0 draw with Forest Green, before being left out of the squad for the FA Trophy match against Sittingbourne. He was back in the starting line up for the draw against Kettering gaining an extra 19 passes. He scored a goal and picked up a further 29 passes for the win against Luton. He started the final game of the month against Southport picking up an extra 30 passes in the 3-1 defeat.
Score 113
Dead Metal has failed to make any more appearances for Newcastle this month and is still training with the reserves.
Score 0
We were left with a tough decision here but we felt that because he is in the reserves and fit we will just give this to Dead Metal, sorry George.
Well that was a very convincing performance by Mackemkillah as he progresses through to the semi finals, a very disappointing round for Dead Metal but he too also progresses.
1) Mackemkillah
2) Dead Metal
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 1
The results of the predictions are in
Chris Owen 60%
Ishu 27%
Lucas Volman 13%
Chris Owen is the hot favourite here but Amadou will be sure to provide stiff opposition
Chris Owen added his 6th international cap starting the friendly in over Algeria. In the first game of the month against Barrow he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win. He was left out of the FA Trophy draw against Forest Green as his manager thought they could get through without him and he could do with a rest, as this was not the case he was restored to the starting line for the replay where he scored 2 goals in the 3-0 win. He followed that up with a further 2 goals in the 4-0 win over Gateshead before ending the month with another goal in the 4-1 win over Wrexham
Score 6
Amadou Traore-Mcnamee made four appearances for Oxford this month out of a possible 6 games but has still yet to break his goal scoring duck for the club.
Score 0
Well that went exactly as expected with Chris Owen one of the favourites for this competition hammering his way into the semi finals.
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 2
This match sees Joe Tompkins take on the only house robot to make it through the heats, remember if Panic Attack wins this battle then he will not nbe allowed to take part in the Semi Final, instead his opponent will be given a bye to the final.
Joe Tompkins didn't recover from his injury this month and so made no appearances scoring no goals. He will however be back to action within the next three days so all is not lost.
Score 0
Panic Attack scored a goal in the first match of the month and started the next four matches picking up one further goal.
Score 2
Well Panic Attack won this match although will not take a place in the semi final as he is a house robot instead the winner of the Sir Killalot vs Lucas Volman match will be given a bye through to the final.
Well that is the end of the December show, join us next time for the January show with the Transfer window open and many of our players in the last 6months on there contract and so able to discuss with foreign clubs it promises to be a very interesting time. Hopefully we will also have a challenge for Dami in the challenge belt competition too
I'm very happy with knocking out the second favourite for the World Wars! and even happy that my opponent is currently injured! Should be a final for me then! Wish I'd predicted myself now! haha
Finally back from injury
I hope Lucas Volman defeats Sir Killalot and then wins in the final
Figured this is probably a good time to mention this, You May have noticed at the start of the season when the Schedule was released there was an event Called House Robot Rebellion which no one had the opportunity to enter, I will be contacting people over the next fortnight to take part in this event which takes place in May, You will be contacted via PM if you have been Chosen and will have to do something within a certain period of time to confirm your entry into this competition which will have a small amount of prize money. The people chosen to enter this will be chosen on the best players that have performed in the game and also regular posters in this thread , although the two robots who are contesting the World Wars Final will not be eligible as that is also taking place in may. Don't worry if you have not been chosen and you see others being chosen, people will be contacted in small groups about there entry spread out over the next two weeks so you may still get your chance.
Woo! Through my Quarter Final. Shame about the goal Frenzy, but well done Chip Butty
In the next update you will see our first player earning over £100,000 a week
When will the next update be put up jim?
ouch an injury =(
Welcome to the January show, we don't have so many battles for you this month but we have some crackers in there, including a very impressive performance by one of the robots. Once again no one has challenged for the belt, hopefully that will change next month.
Gauntlet Quarter Final three
The random number generator has once again thrown up the number 2 so we will be comparing the amount of goals scored. This is our final quarter final and after this we will know the line up of our Gauntlet Semi Finals.
Alesi Shotronne has still not made his debut for Palermo and is currently training with the U20s, although he has now picked up an injury which will keep him out for around two weeks. He has however been given a new contact until June 2013 with a slight pay rise he is now on £140 a week
Score 0
Chris Owen, well what can you say about this guy, he started the month at Newport County earning £600 a week and ended it at Tottenham on £105,000 a week. He had a poor start to the month by his standards rating in at 6.9 in the 3-1 win over York, before scoring three and rating in at 9.6 in the 3-1 win over Crawley in what would prove to be his last game at the club, on the 10th of January he moved to Tottenham for £425k, signing a contract for £105k a week. He left Newport with an outstanding record, scoring 38 goals in 26 games and picking up 16 Man of the match awards, 17 assists for his team mate and finishing with an average rating of 8.72. He wasn't overawed in his new surroundings though, in his first Tottenham game he helped the side to a 5-0 win over scoring two goals and rating in at 9.5. He failed to score but still rated a 7.4 as the team drew with Liverpool before being ineledgible for the FA Cup clash against Arsenal which Spurs lost 5-0.
Score 5
Sam Flynn is still training with the u18s at Leeds and with his contract up ate the end of the season will really need to start trying to make his breakthrough at the club.
Score 0
Well outstanding by Chris Owen he flies through in first place, we feel that Alesi Shotronne deserves second place due to getting a new contract.
Chris Owen is now the clear favourite for this tournament with that fantastic performance, Alesi will have to up his game to make the final as he really doesn't deserve to have made it this far.
1) Chris Owen
2) Alesi Shotronne
Well that means the draw for the Semi finals is now complete
1) Sir Killalot Vs Dead Metal Vs Chris Owen
2) Chris Hatton Vs Mackemkillah Vs Alesi Shotronne
I can't see anyone challenging Chris Owen Here
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 3
Gon Pereira will struggle here unless he makes a move as his season has finished, whereas Ishu will be looking to improve now his transfer has finally gone through.
Gon Pereira has just been moved down to the Derry City u18s although it is expected that this is just for the off season to keep his fitness up and he should be back amongst the first team. He has however been given a new contract until the end of December 2012 an extention of 6 months, with a pay increase he is now up to £130 a week.
Score 0
Ishu has completed his transfer to Lyon where he signed a contract worth £400 a week until June 2015. Despite being amongst the first team he is yet to make an appearance
Score 0
This was a tough decision for us to make, but in the end we felt we had to just give it too Gon Pereira who only failed to make an appearance as his season has ended.
A boring match there but Gon Pereira progresses to the semi final, where he will have to improve as he's up against the might of Chris Owen.
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 4
Both of these players have been getting game time so it could be a very close battle. Th winner will be given a bye to the final
Sir Killalot had a very poor month this time round, he was left out of the first game of the month against Leyton Orient, against Carlisle he came on too late too be given a rating and he was left out of the third game of the month against Swindon. After this he picked up an injury which will keep him out for the rest of the month
Score 0
Lucas Volman missed the first half of the month as his league observed a winter break, on his first game back though there was terrible look as he picked up an injury which will keep him out for a further two weeks.
Score 0
Another dull match but as Lucas Volman started a game we feel he has to progress
The draw for the Semi Finals has now been made
1) Chris Owen vs Gon Pereira
2) Lucas Volman progresses
Well thats it for the January Show, an impressive performance by Chris Owen there. So far no robots have confirmed there place in the House Robot Rebellion challenge, I would expect that to change in the next few days though as more invites start to be sent out, join us at 9pm on the 6th jan for the February Show
Wow, well done for Chris Owen. I wish I had some money so that I could bid for belt in order to hear what Chris Hatton was getting up to!
Wow, that's brilliant! Guess my player is going to be something of a big star in this thread!
Shotronne really doesn't deserve to be that high Made a huge mistake placing him in Palermo & spending big in the first season. Here's hoping I can grab some cash from the predictions for the next season.
Sloppyderek: Yeah pretty amazing really
5ergio: Yeah you had two bets on chris owen which as they were the first on him are double money bets so that should come off for you, I'm sure you'll be making our breakthrough soon though, either at Palermo or on loan next season maybe. Also with some new events being held next year i will be altering some of the pricing so there may be something on the cheaper end for you
Just to be clear to everyone, if you receive a pm regarding the house robot rebellion it should be posted in here and not responded to via pm

dami you have 24hours to check your pm's and respond in this thread
Dami accepts the challenge of Pussycat to a battle in the House Robot Rebellion.
Why do I think I can my robot can defeat Pussycat. We have the advantage since Midfielders usually cover the most ground during a season. The only problem I can see in this robot is the lack of a regular starting place in the team,maybe the manager will start playing him more often.
One more thing Pussycat is probably in dreamland if he thinks he can win this battle, Just ask Joe Tompkins how he felt after battling our robot for the challenge belt. Get ready, you're going to be pulverized Pussycat
thankyou dami
dami becomes the first robot to have his place confirmed in the house robot rebellion, keep watching this thread to see if any more will be confirmed and keep checking your inbox to see if you will receive an invite, Update tomorrow at 9pm you have until then to bid for a challenge belt or grudge match battle
Sam Fynn accepts the challenge of Hypno Disc to a battle in the House Robot Rebellion.
When interviewed,Sam said:I can win as i can play dirty,i can get all the cards i want to smash Hypno Disc into pieces.Hypno Disc is so lousy,he can't see it's back and get's flipped off easily.He's the easiest of all house robots!
coldkohmew is the next robot to have confirmed his place. Greenwhitearmy, Almundo check your pm's please.
Update coming tonight in just over an hour, any last minute bids to get a grudge match or challenge belt battle
Welcome to the February Show, we have an amazing three semi finals coming up for you today, also following that we have a challenge for the belt, will Dami be able to hold onto it once again.
World Wars Semi Final One
In the first Semi final we have a very interesting clash between Chip Butty and Armadou Traore-Mcnamee, Chip Butty would have been the favourite but will he still be able to perform now his loan deal at Wrexham has finished.
Chip Butty is now back at Sheffield United after his loan spell at Wrexham finished in January. Unfortunately for him though he is still out from the injury that he picked up way back in November and is still expected to be out for a further 11 days to 3 weeks, he will need to perform well when he comes back as he currently has no contract for next year.
Score 0
Armadou Traore-Mcnamee has negotiated to join a new club once his contract ends, next year he will be playing in the German first division for Dortmund. He was left out of Oxfords first match of the month as they beat Southport 3-1 but was restored to the starting line up for the draw with Accrington rating at 6.9. He also started the 1-0 wins over Torquay and Macclesfield where he rated at 6.6 and 6.7 respectively. In the final game of the month he scored a 6.5 as they beat Hereford.
Score 6.75
That means Armadou takes his place in the final, very unlucky there for Chip Butty though
Gauntlet Semi Final One
The random number generator has thrown up the number 3 for the first time so we will be comparing the amount of goals conceded by the team when in the side, as usual this will be done by an average so as not to unfairly penalise those who play games. This may have given the other two hope that they may make the final as this could be Chris Owens one weakness that they can capitalise on.
Sir Killalot has really fallen out of favour at Oldham recently; he was only picked in the teams' squad of 18 once this month and then wasn't allowed off the bench. He still hasn't got a contract for next year and must surely be worrying about his future.
Score N/A
Dead Metal left Newcastle where he was stuck in the reserves in January, and joined Man City where he has been placed in the reserves, not getting any first team action. The transfer was for £2.2million and he now has a contract worth £950 a week until 2015.
Score N/A
Chris Owen scored the only goal as Tottenham lost 2-1 to Manchester City; he had a poor performance for him rating at 6.6 as they drew 1-1 against Aston Villa. That poor performance saw him dropped for the win over Stoke before being restored to the starting line up as they drew 0-0 with Inter Milan in the Champions League. In the final game of the month he scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Wolves
Score: 1 per 120mins
Well any hopes of a shock were messed up with Dead Metals and Sir Killalots terrible performance. Chris Owen despite peoples belief that this may be his weak spot performed amazingly to make his way into the final.
Goal Frenzy Semi Final One
This competition seems to have been made for Chris Owen, the winner of this match will face Lucas Volman in the final and surely it has to be Chris Owen.
Chris Owen scored the only goal as Tottenham lost 2-1 to Manchester City; he had a poor performance for him rating at 6.6 as they drew 1-1 against Aston Villa. That poor performance saw him dropped for the win over Stoke before being restored to the starting line up as they drew 0-0 with Inter Milan in the Champions League. In the final game of the month he scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Wolves
Score: 2
Gon Pereira stood no chance this month, he is still playing for Derry City in Ireland and so had no matches this month.
Score 0
Well no surprises there, despite a poor haul of goals by his standards Chris Owen progresses to the final to take on Lucas Volman.
Challenge Belt Battle
Well once again Joe Tompkins is challenging Dami for the belt, after being injured last time will he be able to perform to his best this time.
Joe Tompkins completed a £400k move to Swansea City in January; he now has £8750 a week until 2013. It looked like it was going to be another terrible Challenge belt bid as he missed Swansea's first five games of the month with an injury he picked up in January shortly after completing his move. Luckily he recovered in time for the final game of the month where he scored two goals rating in at 8.9 as Swansea beat Leeds.
Score 8.9
Dami has signed a new contract at Wrexham with an extension of one year, and a pay rise to £325 a week. He started the 0-0 draw against Tamworth rating at 6.8; he was then rested for the FA Trophy clash as they crashed out to Corby. He was back in the side for the defeat to Fleetwood rating in at 7.0 but was dropped again as Wrexham lost to Altrincham before he was back in the side and rated 6.1 as they won 1-0 but dropped again for the draw with Darlington.
Score 6.63
Well second time lucky for Joe Tompkins, he was lucky though as if the injury had lasted a couple of days longer he would have lost out to Dami once again. Whether Dami will have the guts to re-challenge for the belt is yet to be seen.
Well thats the end of the February show, lets have a look at how this has affected the money table
1 ggrive £55,000
2 Adam C £40,000
3 joetheref £37,000 increase 8000

Glad to win the belt at last , hopefully my player can keep fit for a while now. Nice to get a move, and a good to start to life at Swansea, hopefully can keep up the good form as well
Next update is already written as its quite a short one,will be posted at 9pm on the 8th so you have until then to get in any bids for the challenge belt, or even maybe bid for the first ever grudge match, remember the grudge matches can be done either as 1 v 1 or as tag team matches if you can find yourself a partner.

10th Jan - April Update - English Regional Final, Gauntlet Final, Goal Frenzy Final
12th Jan - May Update - House Robot Rebellion and World Wars Final

If you are not around for those dates please can you let me know particularly for the choosing of new events between the 12th and the 20th, because i will have to make new arrangements, probably by releasing to you early the list and costs of events but exactly what the solution will be I will take on an individual basis after a conversation between us
so when can we make predictions?
I'm sorry you've missed all the predictions for the first wars, they had to be in before the quarter finals, feel free to let us know who you think will win but the chance of prize money for you has passed
This is a great thread Jim Owen! I'm impressed. Keep up the good work!

Sorry for no response. right now I found myself on the edge of poor grade and retire.
Maybe I can't come to look closely as I want.
Lucas Volman accepts the challenge of Fire Storm to a battle in the House Robot Rebellion.
"Fire Storm doesn't stand a chance, as soon as I'll enter the ring he will run away with his tail between his legs" said Volman in another interview with the Serie C paper, before following it up with: "I won't even have to be at my best to beat him, I know I can take on anyone right now and humiliate them!"
gonna have to put this on hold for a couple of weeks guys sorry, somethings come up
Ah well, I forgot about the Summer season thing. At least I'll have the upper hand come June and July, but with Derry demoting me to the under 18s I wonder...
Top work Jim and sorry for not visiting more regularly myself.
No problem Jim, look forward to its return
Looking forward to its return Jim, don't sweat it, you've done a lot already in this thread.

Book synopsis
Japanese-style management is 'the' post-war human resource management (HRM) success story. Even today it continues to offer an alternative pathway to creating competitive advantages. Japanese HRM, however, is not a static construct, and demands permanent attention. Charting the de facto human resource dynamics of the world's third largest economy, this volume collates concurrent thinking on Japanese management. Japanese firms have always exhibited a remarkable ability to adapt to changing externalities and emerge strengthened from challenges. The contributions in this book present fresh insights into the realities of Japanese change management that are likely to influence the redesign of globally operating Japanese firms.

CNN is reporting early Sunday morning, August 10, that NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Tony Stewart may have been involved in an incident on a dirt track in upstate New York Saturday night that resulted in the end of a fellow driver's life.
According to CNN, Stewart was competing in the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprint at the Canandaigua Motorsports Park when a fellow driver struck a wall on lap 14 of a 25-lap race. The driver of that car exited his vehicle, according to Philip C. Povero of the Ontario County Sheriff's Department, and started walking on the track when he was allegedly struck by Stewart.
The driver was taken to the Thompson Health hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to "USA Today." Two witnesses at the track, Tyler Graves and Adam Dulski, named the victim as Kevin Ward, Jr., according to that publication.
"Stewart has fully cooperated with investigation," Povero said. "He acknowledges the collision with the driver."
The news rocked the NASCAR world in the early morning hours Sunday just ahead of the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen where Stewart was scheduled to compete. Canandaigua is about 60 miles northwest of Watkins Glen at the top of Canandaigua Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of the state. An investigation into the incident is underway.
Stewart's representative, Mike Arning, released a statement, according to "USA Today": A tragic accident took place last night during a sprint car race in which Tony Stewart was participating. Tony was unhurt, but a fellow competitor lost his life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. We're still attempting to sort through all the details and we appreciate your understanding during this difficult time."
According to "USA Today," Ward was pointing at Stewart's car when he was walking down the track, "showing his displeasure" at a move made by Stewart during the race. Reports from witnesses, according to "USA Today" said that Stewart's car struck the man.
For NASCAR's Sprint Cup series, Stewart, who co-owns Stewart-Haas Racing, drives the No. 14 Pro Bass Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet. Stewart is known to keep racing in other competitions outside of NASCAR. In 2013, he broke his leg in a sprint car crash that required his absence from the Glen race that year. This year, he is scheduled to start outside the top 10 in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International.

TC TO J. A. MILSAND; 24 December 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18461224-TC-JAMI-01; CL 21:119.
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea London, 24 Decr, 1846—
Dear Sir,
I have to acknowledge with thanks a friendly Packet from you, consisting of a Cahier of the Révue Indépendante, with a very kind Note, to introduce me to a Criticism of my Writings you have published there,1 which also is of very kind tenor. The Packet did not arrive till two days ago; owing to some accident which Mr Russell,2 the Bearer of it, has politely taken the trouble to explain. Accept many thanks for your friendly regard to me in these matters; and my assurance that your message was was very welcome when it did come.
I have read the Criticism with attention; have found it indeed to merit much more attention than such things usually do. It is evidently the production of an earnest, ingenuous, ardent and true-hearted man; singularly open to foreign ideas, and prompt to recognise with enthusiasm whatsoever he finds of Universal and Humane in the tendency of them. A rare character among reviewers and men! The image you have formed of me may well deserve looking at, while so many others do not; both when you assent and when you differ, there arise true sources of interest, and all manner of profitable sympathies and reflexions. I think I may further congratulate you on a very superior knowledge of the English language, a perfect knowledge so far as here appears;—in notice of which, and of other nobler qualities visibly combined with it, I will augur essential services, of the international sort, as you proceed in your career.
It will give me pleasure to see more of your writings, such as Time and the good Opportunities may bring to light. I will bid you go on and prosper. With many good wishes, with many thanks and regards
I remain
Yours very sincerely /
T. Carlyle
To M. Milsand

Xively Partner: Ciseco
Ciseco designs and manufactures electronic components (e.g. radios and sensors) that put the 'things' into the IoT. Started by two like-minded technology enthusiasts, Ciseco targets people of all ages and backgrounds; including fellow technology enthusiasts, engineers, students, innovators and manufacturers. It provides people with open, affordable and easy to use modular building blocks to create the products of the future and "power creative minds".
More on Ciseco
Powering creative minds
The adoption of the Internet of Things by everyday people has been slow. Industry has been searching for a "killer app". However, it isn't either smart meters or home automation and isn't even necessarily an application. It is in our minds "app"lying people. It is giving engineers, innovators, students and even school children the chance to create IoT products without the need for a university degree or extensive experience. If the IoT is to reach a wide audience then we must unlock the power of the individual, if we wait for the consumer market alone, the IoT could remain over a decade away.
Easy to use technology
Most people can imagine innovative ideas that can make a difference to their (and others') lives but they don't have the skills to turn such ideas into a reality. Ciseco powers this creativity by providing people with easy to use electronic building blocks with which to create tomorrow's solutions. Today's IoT communications is technology centric, just like the early Internet. Internet communications took 30 years to evolve to the 140 character social tweet. With LLAP, Ciseco makes interacting with "things" just as easy.
Affordable technology
Traditional manufacturing processes and the use of proprietary technology will lead to costly IoT-based solutions. Using Ciseco's technology, users can build products that address a specific need at a fraction of the cost. Large businesses will address the largest and most profitable markets. However, there is huge potential for the creation of niche solutions that otherwise, would be missed.
Could the Raspberry Pi, Arduino & IoT create the next big inventor?
The emergence of the Raspberry Pi has shown that people have an enormous appetite for tinkering with electronics, in very much the same way kids did with chemistry sets in the past. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has taken a difficult technology and made it affordable and accessible for people to use. In addition, interest in the Raspberry Pi is starting to get computing and electronics back and properly taught in schools; encouraging the next generation to be involved and interested in what innovation and technology can enable. With easy to use electronics, a person of any age or background could become the creator of the next major invention.
- Ciseco believes that the Raspberry Pi can go a long way towards helping to educate and power the next generation of creators.
- Ciseco manufactures a number of affordable, easy to configure components and accessories to help users build innovative Raspberry Pi powered solutions.
- Ciseco's message to kids is simply to have fun and create! Using Ciseco's technology, schools can empower their pupils, including those without academic tendencies, and help discover the next great inventor.

You might think some products are naturally gluten-free, but there are many varieties that may not be. Here are five products in supermarkets that you should learn more about before you toss them into your shopping cart.
1. Gravy mixes and stock velvet flavoring packets: Some powdered gravy mixes use corn starch as a thickener which is gluten-free. Many use wheat flour which is not. Stock velvet (also found in cubes called 'flavor boosters') highlight their spices and oils on their front label, but take the time to check the ingredient list. Many contain monosodium glutamate - a no-no for gluten-free people.
2. Canned soups and soup mixes in a bag: Almost all canned soups have some kind of gluten product in them. The exception would be a line of soups and chilis by Amy's Kitchen. The company's website has a page that will bring you to a complete list of gluten-free soups and their other gluten-free products, too. http://www.amys.com/products/product-categories/gluten-free
There is also a delicious and economical line of soup mixes in a bag by Bear Creek Country Kitchens. 'Tortilla Soup' mix is one that is gluten-free and makes 8 cups. Add a cup of cooked white chicken meat and serve with corn tortilla chips and shredded cheese to feed 4 hungry people. (This company is not certified gluten-free, so if you are sensitive to cross contamination, their products might not work for you) http://www.bearcreekcountrykitchens.com/
3. Beer: That frothy, grain-based beverage of choice while watching sports events is full of gluten. So why is it listed here? Because there are now gluten-free beers! These products were featured by none other than the gourmet's magazine, Bon Appetit, in 2013. Here's the link to read and review their comments just in time for the summer sports season: http://www.bonappetit.com/drinks/beer/slideshow/10-gluten-free-beers-that-actually-taste-good/?slide=1
4. Chips - potato, corn, and snack: Crunchy, salty, and delicious, snack chips must all be gluten-free. Not so. When manufacturers start sprinkling on 'flavorings' like sour cream and onion or nacho cheese, wheat or wheat containing products are often used. Read all nutrition labels. Many manufacturers are now putting the 'GF' symbol on product packaging which makes it easy to identify. The worldwide chip company of Frito-Lay now has a tab on their website dedicated to gluten-free products (that go very nicely with the beers mentioned above). These products regularly have coupons and sales specials. See http://www.fritolay.com/your-health/us-products-not-containing-gluten-ingredients.html
5. Spices and spice mixes: Dried spices not only are sold in individual bottles and bags, to make cooking easier many are now come in pre-made blends like 'Grilling Rub' or 'Jerk Seasoning.' You could assume that all the manufacturer is mixing in is dried, natural spices. That would be a mistake. Often included in spice blends is monosodium glutamate ( or MSG). Why companies do this, only they can tell you. Check the ingredients to be sure. A good rule of thumb is this: single spices almost always are gluten-free; spice blends and flavorings may not be.
Even with all of the above said, sometimes you just want to eat out. Coming on Friday, restaurants in Plano where you can enjoy a great meal at a good price (and many of them have multiple locations for readers traveling or living elsewhere, too).

Camera, CCD, 4 Shooter
This is the original camera body called the "4-Shooter" used on the Hale 200-inch telescope at the Cassegrain focus to proof-test the split field design for the Wide Field/Planetary camera of the Hubble Space Telescope. This body assembly contained the filter wheel, optical baffles, entrance aperture and shutter. The NASM collection holds the complete, working camera including split field optics and 2 of the original 4 CCD camera units that were used programmatically on the 200-inch for many years. It was featured in Richard Preston's "First Light" as a galaxy and quasar finder.
The California Institute of Technology donated the object to the Museum in September 1999.

Sounds like the title of a hit movie, doesn't it.
It puts a three word label to the point Jesus made time and time again in the Gospels: don't get so far into the trappings of religion that you get trapped into self-righteousness.
That was exemplified in yesterday's scripture story (John: 9.)
Once again the Pharisees took issue with Jesus expending effort to cure on the Sabbath. The act of molding clay to treat blindness and then the request to wash it off were violations. "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath," they argued. The letter of the law blinded the Pharisees to the goodness of Jesus' intention.
The story bears witness to how the obsession with being right can lead to debilitating self-righteousness.
"That's the danger of organized religion" say the organized religion critics.
We should keep that in mind next time criticize our fellow Catholics for something as trivial as coming to Mass in blue jeans or as major as only coming on Christmas and Easter.
I'm sure Jesus would prefer that we welcome and not judge.
We need need to guard against "Pharisee" behavior in all things. (For those of us that think we are always right that's not an easy thing to do.)
From all that I've learned about Pope Francis and his opinion of the trappings of his office, I'm sure he would feel the same way.

Will there really be privacy in the Internet of Things? That's the central question that a group of government regulators, university professors, and tech industry lawyers grappled with last week at a conference organized and hosted by TRUSTe at the Rosewood Hotel in Menlo Park, California, nestled in the shadow of Stanford University.
It would be tempting to simplify the daylong discussion by saying the ultimate answer is "no," but the conference attendees heard more about the current landscape and challenges than actual solutions to protect user privacy. This was not surprising given that it was the first time such a conference had been held, and TRUSTe, a leading Data Privacy Management company, deserves much credit for at least putting the issue on the table this early in the game. As one presenter put it succinctly, "The issues are complicated."
What's complicating the protection of privacy is that every day someone, somewhere introduces a new way to link a gadget to the Internet, or uses the Internet for a whole new purpose. For example, during one of the panel discussions last week, attendees heard about Saga, a lifelogging app that uses smartphone sensors to capture your daily routines, travel and preferences.
On the surface, this would not seem a threat to privacy since anyone can choose to do this or not. But A.R.O, the company that developed Saga (and is funded by the Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen), also recently introduced a new companion product – OverHeard. This smartphone app automatically records your life sounds in 3 minute increments and shares them over your social networks. They are also stored on A.R.O. servers. Is this merely lifelogging or recording private conversations with other people without their consent?
Even the conference itself ran into a minor quandary when they handed out free Pokens to all attendees. Pokens are smart-tag equipped USB sticks that can store and exchange data about each attendee and the idea was to share this information by simply touching each other's tags at the conference.
But when Professor Lance Hoffman of George Washington University gave his keynote speech on privacy in the afternoon, he launched into a short rant about the dangers of using devices like Pokens, since users cannot control where their data goes and must take a security risk by inserting an untested device into their computers to use them. Conference leaders moved quickly to reassure attendees that Pokens were trustworthy, but it was yet another example of how even technology with the best intentions can quickly run into privacy issues in the Internet of Things.
A panel of industry regulators wrestled with growing concerns around the question of notice and choice. In the "old" days, when everything was computer screen-based, users were presented with 80 page documents they never read agreeing to how their data would be used when they chose a certain tech product. Today, in this new era of wearable computing and smartphones, that kind of review and consent has become a lot more tricky. "It is still the law," as TiTi Nguyen, California's Deputy Attorney General for Internet Privacy, reminded the audience.
Yet, the inevitable march towards wide consumer acceptance of these devices has led to a situation where the privacy concerns get largely ignored. As one attendee commented after the regulators had their say, "I noticed (Nancy Libin) the former Chief Privacy Officer for the Department of Justice wearing a FitBit. Do you think she thought about the privacy of her data when she put that on her wrist?"
At the end of the day, Chris Babel, CEO of TRUSTe, announced that his company will call together a technical working group on privacy for the Internet of Things later this year to "figure out how it's going to impact the multitude of groups that this involves." Babel might want to hold his first meeting in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel. Prayer and inspiration will be needed.


text: The most important thing is to be honest. I tell them the facts of their diagnosis. We talk about the goal of therapy, which can be one of three things: a cure, palliation (treatments to alleviate symptoms), or, in the middle, prolongation of survival. I tell them what the studies have shown for their particular cancer, and what the goals generally are. I'll always be honest with them, but I don't tell them the average survival rates right away. The most important factor in how long you're going to live is whether or not whatever I give you to treat this shrinks it down or not — if the cancer responds or not. I tell people what the averages are, but I also tell them I've seen patients live much longer. I don't want to take hope away. I feel strongly that hope is a big part of the cancer process. I give them as much knowledge as I can, and I try to be as positive as I can.

I know the sender address verification in Postfix is a good thing. However, I would like to disable this check for one certain domain from which I get mails but which does not exist in DNS. How can I do that?
Have a look at: http://www.kutukupret.com/2009/12/28/postfix-selective-sender-addresss-verification/
The idea is to create an smtpd restriction class which does not verify the sender address and use the access map so that only the domain you don't want to check matches that class.

From making beats in his bedroom as a young teen to selling out shows and headlining festivals, this Australian wonderboy has come incredibly far in just the blink of an eye.
At 22, Harley Streten is making waves across the globe. His debut self-titled album, Flume, peaked at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, with the single "Holdin On," making its way to the top 20 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The album also rewarded Streten with four wins at the ARIA Music Awards in 2013. And if that doesn't impress you, let's put it into perspective; that same album beat out One Direction for the No. 1 position on the iTunes chart.
Known for his remix to Disclosure's "You & Me," Flume has huge online following. In its first 24 hours of being released, the remix racked up over 250,000 plays (and as of now it has over TEN MILLION streams on SoundCloud!) Listen for yourself here.

Posted by Reviewer3059703 on Jul 16, 2011
I bought this to try because I get really bad menstrual cramps with my periods and it can be hard to find relief. It didn't do the trick for this even with multiple doses like the label suggested. However, I'm not saying it wouldn't work for muscle cramps or one of the other symptoms listed on the label since I didn't buy it for those.

Great for Muscle Cramps
Posted by 5763314982486808071 on Mar 08, 2014
I have found these tablets are very good as a preventative and reactive response for muscle cramps. The tablets dissolve in the mouth and provide relief very quickly. They are more convenient to use than most forms of magnesium tablets. In recent years I have had a tendency to get hand cramps while driving and hamstring cramps at night. Tablets taken when the cramps occur seem to solve the problem or if I have had a long hot day on the bowling greens a recommended dose before retiring prevents being rudely awoken during the night with a hamstring seizure. I'm a committed user.

1D Fly Out To America (And Then Australia)
Ok, please stop crying – they'll be back soon! (Well towards the end of April actually).
Yes One Direction have left British shores once again and have flown out to the USA for the start of their tour with Big Time Rush. They'll be performing 10 dates all across America and Canada before popping to the other side of the world for 3 more dates in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane.
As well as the triple outing in Oz, they are rumoured to be performing at the Logie Awards in Melbourne on April 15th (think Australia's version of the Brit Awards). Maybe they'll pick up another award there?
Speaking about their forthcoming trip to Oz, Zayn Malik said: "We can't wait to come Down Under and meet everyone that has supported us".
Harry Styles also said: "You guys have been amazing and have supported us since day one so thank you".
Last night on Facebook, Zayn posted the following: "So we're going away for a bit now, but we will be back soon! gna miss all of our amazing uk fans Zayn xx"
Boo hoo hoooo, we've got a tear in our eye!

|"Spatial Pattern Dynamics in Evolutionary Games: the Fitness Gradient Flux"
|Ph.D. Oral Comprehensive Examination
|Russell deForest, Adviser: Andrew Belmonte, Penn State
|We introduce a non-diffusive spatial coupling into the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and study the development of patterns for several classes of 2-strategy games in 1D and the rock-paper-scissors game in 2D. Our proposed flux term is based on motion due to local gradients in the relative fitness of each strategy and provides an alternative to diffusive coupling for competitive systems in which the flux depends directly on the game dynamics. We observe asymptotically attracting and wave-generating states in 1D and spiral formation and breakup in 2D. A change of variables is shown to correctly capture the asymptotic behavior of these spatiotemporal systems via a nonlinear diffusion equation.

In the only surprise of the New York State Democratic Convention, Kathy Hochul, former Congresswoman representing Buffalo, was nominated to run as Lt. Governor.
Hochul was introduced to the delegates in a video presentation by Governor Andrew Cuomo, who praised his current Lt. Governor, Robert Duffy, took a moment to heighten suspense, and then the camera panned out to show Kathy Hochul sitting beside him.
"The Lieutenant Governor is an important position for the campaign but even more important for this great state," Governor Cuomo said. "Kathy is a person who knows Upstate New York, knows Western New York, knows the federal government, who has worked in the private sector and knows business, who knows New York's needs all across the board. Even more exciting, Kathy will be the first female Democratic Lieutenant Governor in more than 35 years. I am excited to have her join me on the Democratic ticket and look forward to her future service on behalf of the people of this state. I also extend my thanks to Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy for his four years of exceptional dedication and commitment to New York."
"I am thrilled to be joining Governor Cuomo and the entire Democratic team," Hochul said. "Over the last four years I've witnessed unprecedented optimism and enthusiasm for our entire state, especially Upstate New York and in my hometown of Buffalo where we have seen an economic recovery that many politicians have promised but only Governor Cuomo has delivered. It is exciting to see how far we have come as a state and I don't want to be on the sidelines for what the future holds. Like I have my whole life, I want to roll up my sleeves and be part of the transformation of this great state. New York State is on the move, but our work is far from finished. I am proud to join Governor Cuomo as a new voice for the communities in Upstate New York and for all New Yorkers. I am proud to be running with Governor Cuomo and joining the ticket as Lieutenant Governor of the State of New York."
Hochul won her seat in 2011, the first Democrat to represent the 26th District in 40 years. She then lost her seat through redistricting.
"As a member of Congress, Kathy was a champion for Western New York and Upstate, taking a bipartisan approach toward creating jobs and supporting farmers, small businesses, veterans, and environmental protection," the campaign stated.
Hochul grew up in the Buffalo area, graduated from Syracuse University and has spent nearly her entire life in Western New York. She and her husband William live in Buffalo, and are parents of two children, Will and Katie. Kathy most recently served as Vice President of M&T Bank.
"In Congress, Kathy focused on growing the Upstate economy by advancing measures to close the skills gap and help businesses place new workers in unfilled advanced manufacturing jobs. In addition, Kathy fought to save the Niagara Air Reserve Station – the largest employer in the county – and as a result of those efforts the Station secured a new mission. Kathy championed the Clothe the Homeless Veterans Act that provides veterans with items that are left behind at security checkpoints.
"Kathy was a strong supporter of the dairy industry and secured federal infrastructure funding for a business park in Genessee County, the site of yogurt producer Pepsi-Mueller's new plant. She successfully managed to get the EPA to consider putting Eighteen Mile Creek on the Superfund list in order to protect residents from industrial contamination. Kathy also secured funding for repair work to be undertaken on the Flight of Five series canal locks on the Erie Canal," her biography states.
Before her election to Congress, Kathy served as the Erie County Clerk from 2007 until 2011. Previously, she was a deputy county clerk, a member of the Hamburg town board, a practicing attorney, and a legislative assistant for New York Congressional Representative John J. LaFalce and legislative assistant for New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Hochul is an ideal running mate. Like Robert Duffy, she is from upstate, where despite the massive marshalling of resources to boost the upstate economy and a shift away from the Republican party by d suburban communities, Cuomo lost some luster because of the SAFE Act to reduce gun violence and his victory in winning marriage equality. And choosing a woman as his running mate will highlight a key difference in Cuomo's pro-woman agenda versus his Republican opponent Rob Astorino.
"Cuomo wants to make gender issues an important part of his campaign," a Democratic insider said.
"She's a great choice," Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver commented. "She was an effective member of Congress - got a lot of things done. But she was a victim of reapportionment by a court."
Robert Duffy Cheered
The current Lt. Governor, Robert Duffy, chose not to run for a second term.
Duffy, who took to the podium before the announcement, was greeted to appreciate applause.
"The toughest thing about my decision not to run again was to step away from this governor – friend, colleague – a decision I made several months ago. Sometimes life gets in the way," he said. "I am comfortable with my decision."
Citing a series of accomplishments - jobs creation, economic development particularly of the hard-pressed upstate region, tax reductions, on time budgets - he said "one of the highlights of my career was to be in the Senate chambers that historic night" when marriage equality was voted into law. "Then, marching a few days later down Fifth Avenue with the Governor, seeing 1 million lining the streets and realizing that one act changed millions of lives.
"Leadership is hard, governing is very hard, but this governor has really changed the landscape." He pointed to the economic development councils and the mechanisms that match higher education with business.
"You are seeing a transformation before your eyes...things are happening everywhere, jobs are being created, and change will take place at faster rate in the future. This state is on the move – something you should be proud of."
Hochul was nominated by acclamation at the convention, as were Tom DiNapoli to run for reelection as NYS Comptroller and Eric Schneiderman to run for a second term as NYS Attorney General, and Andrew Cuomo for reelection as Governor.

MSI WindPad 100A Tegra 2 Android tablet caught on video
WindPad 100A – MSI's very first Android tablet, of which we've told you not long ago – has been showcased by the company at CeBIT 2011 in Germany.
The Inquirer has managed to snap a video of the tablet and confirm some of its features.
The Windpad 100A will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb at launch, despite the fact that right now it uses Android 2.2. It comes with a 10.1 inch multi-touch display, thumbpad controls, dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory, 5MP photo camera, HMDI port, card reader, and so on. Here's the tablet in action:
MSI will release the WindPad 100A sometime in mid 2011.
Prices will start at €399 – which, of course, means there will be several versions of the tablet. For the moment, there are no details on carrier availability.

Isobel says When I first saw these pictures in an exhibition in Madrid I was stunned of how well Melchita had captured the real spirit of newyorkers. People shot by Melchita in New York streets are direct descendant of those photographed by Helen Levitt or Mary Ellen Mark. She has a deep feeling for the human soul.

PODCAST: How one bill passed in the aftermath of 9/11 continues to shape U.S. modern warfare today
Critics agree AUMF should be changed but how?
It was three days after the attacks —September 14th, 2001 -- that Congress gathered in Washington to respond to the vicious blow America had sustained. Every member of the House and Senate, save one, voted to give President George W. Bush the authority to capture or kill those responsible. The bill they passed that day is called the AUMF -- The Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Terrorists.
Many predictions were made that day, of the coming war, the stamina and depth of the commitment it would require of American citizens. But what no one knew, what no one could know, is how the AUMF would anchor the country to that moment, and drag it back there again and again during the longest war in the nation's history.
On this week's podcast, DecodeDC host Andrea Seabrook tells the story of how it happened, and what many think should come next.

EUGENE – Oregon head men's golf coach Casey Martin announced the signing of Christopher "Hurly" Long for the upcoming 2014-15 season. Long comes to UO from St. Leon-Rot, Germany, where the Mannheim Viernheim Golf Course serves as his home course. He joins Aaron Wise, whom Martin signed in the early signing period, as members of the 2014-15 class.
"I'm very excited about the addition of Hurly," said Martin. "He's the first European player I've signed and recruited. We learned about him through his dad last year, who teaches over there. He reached out to us and it kind of just fell into our lap because I haven't recruited over there too much."
Long joins Oregon with a lot of international experience, having played worldwide as a member of the German Junior National Team. His most recent victory came this past Christmas Eve when he won the Doral Publix Junior title with a 73-71-70—214 card at the three-day tournament held at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, Fla.
"I had the chance to see him play at the Doral this past winter," Martin said. "He ended up winning the tournament and looked really good. I think he's going to be a very good player. He can really hit the ball, has a great work ethic and is a late bloomer who has the opportunity to be an elite player. He's developed quite nicely in the last year."
The St. Leon-Rot, Germany, native has also won championships at the Faldo German U18 Championships (2012), AK18 BWGV (2013), AK16 BWGV and twice at the Heidelberg Open (2013, 2011). Long has also finished in the top five in several other tournaments in Europe and the United States.
Long is ranked No. 27 in the world junior golf ranking according to the World Junior Golf Tournament Series. The future Duck has won one tournament in the series to go along with a pair of top-10 finishes and one top-20 finish.
Oregon is preparing for the Pac-12 Championships, set to take place on April 25-27 at the Gallery Golf Club in Marana, Ariz., hosted by Arizona.

Welcome to Week 9 of the Matchup Machine. This is a feature Chet started using to help me out over at thefakebasketball.com in our daily fantasy basketball matchups. It proved highly effective for us on the NBA side of things, so we adapted it to the NFL. You will see a writeup on some of the more fantasy football-intriguing NFL Matchups, then a chart examining exactly which players have the easiest defensive matchups each week. Please note that these stats only include the first eight weeks right now and will get more effective as the season goes on and we can add more data.
Mike Vick keeps his job this week heading into a wonderful matchup at the Superdome against the Saints. His owners have to make an about face from considering dropping him to making him a must-start against the Saints' sieve of a defense this week. That makes both Jeremy Maclin and Desean Jackson solid WR2 starts as well. Lesean McCoy remains a must-start running back, but hell, wouldn't it be nice if Andy Reid actually gave the ball to his best, most dynamic player. We can dream right?
Drew Brees had a bit of a down week against the Broncos last week and faces a formidable pass defense this week. It may be one of those weeks he goes for 400 yards, but only 1-2 touchdowns, but who is going to argue with that! The Saints backfield is an absolute mess in fantasy circles. Pierre Thomas should have a chance to be a feature back, ditto for Mark Ingram, while Darren Sproles is the best play as he makes the most of his 7-10 touches each week. Marques Colston came back to earth as well last week, but remains a solid WR2 week in and week out even if purely due to the Saints passing volume. Jimmy Graham's return puts him atop the TE ranks again and saps a lot of the value from Lance Moore and the other peripheral options in the Saints attack.
Josh Freeman is the only quarterback with 3+ TDs each of the last two weeks. He has established himself back-end QB1 value and has a soft schedule including the Raiders on tap this week. Vincent Jackson's arrival and production has resurrected the ghost of Mike Williams this season. Williams is a solid WR3 play each week now and VJax is still a boom/bust WR1/2 like he's always been. Doug Martin is getting better every week and provides enough in the passing game that he can succeed even when the running game isn't flowing like it was last Thursday.
Carson Palmer, Denarius Moore and Darren McFadden are doing everything they can to make this offense respectable despite a historically awful offensive line. Palmer has found his guy in Moore and he is targeting him relentlessly on important plays and Moore is making them. He is locked in as a WR2 as long as Palmer can keep his limbs attached behind that line. Darren McFadden hasn't been pretty, but he is a Top 10 running back in most formats, hard to argue with how consistent he's been despite the low YPC. He started breaking some big plays the last two weeks, but many were called back on holding penalties by the line. There just aren't many running backs who are a weekly threat for 30 touches like DMC. Darius Heyward-Bey is the only other player on this offense I would consider and he is just a low-end WR3.
Cam Newton put up some fantasy stats on the Bears last week, but he was still awful. A long catch and run by Brandon Lafell and some spectacular plays by Steve Smith saved his day for him as he threw 2 awful interceptions, one that cost them the game. Newton will forever be buoyed by his rushing yards and rushing TD potential, but he just doesn't look right currently. Jonathan Stewart operated as the clear feature back for the Panthers early in the game Sunday even if the box score didn't show it. His schedule lightens up and he should be at worst a low-end RB2 the rest of the way if he maintains that role. Steve Smith is going to start scoring TDs, he's just too good. Buy low if you can. Greg Olsen could be a PPR monster if Cam Newton ever felt like checking down, but that may be like asking the cookie monster to try celery sticks.
RGIII finally had a down fantasy week that wasn't concussion induced, but almost none of it was on him. The Redskins led the league in drops and Leonard Hankerson was put on America's Most Hated Hands list costing Griffin at least one TD strike. Shanahan won't deal with that much longer and I expect Aldrick Robinson to get another shot in Pierre Garcon's spot soon if it doesn't change. Alfred Morris looked great again last week and was off to a good start before the Redskins were forced to abandon the run. Morris is a top 5 option almost every week. Avoid all the Redskins pass catchers until Griffin finds someone he can trust.
I used SD def in fan duel based off of this. Worked out lovely. Thanks
12 team .5 PPR I need to start 2 between Bradshaw, Wayne and D Moore who do you think I should choose? I'm also starting Carson Palmer for a bye week fill in, if that has any effect.
+.5 PPR…pick 1
Titus Young @ JAX, CJ Spiller @ HOU, Alex Green vs ARI
+.5 PPR….also pick 1
Emmanuel Sanders @ NYG, or Joique Bell @ JAX
And does your answer change with the news that Leshoure returned to practice today?
@Scott: PPR league. was offered Brady/V-Jax for my Morris/Amendola/Romo. My other RBs are McCoy, Lynch, J-Stew and Green. Other WRs are Andre Johnson, Decker, Dez and Britt. Also have Rothlisberger at QB. Thoughts?
Where do the Seahawks fit into this scheme? Is their matchup against Min so terrible that they just fell off the chart?
Basically I'm looking at a Jamaal Charles vs Marshawn situation. I'm probably starting Marshawn because he is his teams offense, but I was curious to compare their matchups.
Paulsen not listed in the TEs. Lack of data?
14 Team PPR, .5 pts ppr: Just got offered Donald Brown for Alex Smith. What are your thoughts on Brown ROS? I'm thinking about countering with Amendola for Smith. My team: Staff, Mega, Decker, Britt, Martin, Alex Green, Bennett, Crabtree, A Smith, A Brown, K Hunter. His team: Vick, S Smith, Julio, S Moss, Jacquizz, Benjarvus, Demarco, D Brown, Hernandez, Amendola, Bradford.
Thanks, he rejected Amendola & I just read something that Brown may be hurt? I think I'm just going to pass on it.

Brodus Clay was recently interviewed by Chad Dukes and discussed a number of topics, including the origins of the Funkasaurus, having his debut repeatedly delayed, and more.
In the following excerpt, Brodus discusses how his dance segment before The Rock vs. John Cena at WrestleMania XXVIII was almost cut from the show at the last minute:
"We were in what we call the gorilla — it's right before you get ready to go out. I think it was the band or prep — something went way wrong. So, they were going to cut the dance. It was cut and we got told in gorilla. And now I'm committed to it and excited and ready to go. I look at the Funkadactyls and I'm like, 'Guys, I think we just got cut.'
"Cena, he was getting his mind ready and he's in the corner getting ready to come out because he comes out shortly after. He's stretching and he said — it was one of the coolest things ever — he said, 'If Brodus doesn't go out, I'm not going out.' And just walked away. They were just like, 'Well, send him out.' It was a really cool moment. Everyone talks about Cena, but they don't know that that's the type of person that he is. So, it was real cool. So, honestly, the reason that I actually went down was because of Cena. He had a lot to do with it."
