Blurb TV – Ep 9 – Busts
May 4
2010 Draft Blurb Appearences
Apr 26
So I did a bunch of radio work this past weekend and didn't have time to post it (and at times, didn't have time to get a link to it) until now.
When you get a chance, check out the following bits of audio:
Friday Night I appeared on Brian Carriveau's Cheesehead Nation show on Blogtalkradio.com. We talked about the first few rounds of Packer picks, which I actually like quite a bit. (about 10 minutes at the front but the ep goes much longer)
I'm at the top but stick around for the whole show as they break down some of the picks more in depth later on. It's good stuff, and Railbird Central is a great place to go for Packer stuff.
Saturday I joined my good friend Matt Levine of The Final Score of WSTC/WNLK in Connecticut to talk some Jets and Giants as well as some general NFL Draft stuff as well. I uploaded it here so you can hear what I had to say from Radio City. (about 20 minutes long)
On Sunday I got to hoof it to the home of Sirius Satellite Radio and join Cecil Lammey of 104.3 The Fan in Denver and Footballguys.com as well as Russ Lande, analyst for SportingNews.com's NFL Draft Warroom and head of GMJr for three hours of 2010 NFL Draft recap.
As Cecil's show (every Sunday on the Fan) is on in Denver, we covered a lot of Broncos (and Tim Tebow) but also hit on the Draft in general and the AFC West as a whole.
You can also get a behind the scenes look at the three of us on this episode of Blurb TV. In fact you can get a look at ALL of my experience at the 2010 NFL Draft here at Thundering Blurb or over at my channel on Viddler as well.
It's a little bit folly to try and really declare winners and losers for a draft that isn't even finished, much less a day old. Players haven't even stepped on a NFL field yet, and some may not pay off for several years to come, forget this season.
Still, by the end of Saturday, it's a worthwhile endeavor to examine some teams who have ended up looking smart and others….
Well, not so much.
So with the realization in mind that we still don't know everything – here are the teams who made our jaws drop, though not always for good reasons.
The Shock
Oakland Raiders
Maybe Al Davis and his Raiders will prove us all wrong, but right now their draft can be summed up in an exchange I saw between Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times (where the Raiders once resided) and Raiders beat writer Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee (which is close to Oakland i suppose).
Farmer: Why were the Raiders reaching like that in the second?
Jones: They reach because that's what they do.
They weren't going to go offensive tackle, despite the need, because that's not really the Raiders way.
And I knew they weren't going to grab Crabtree, whether or not he was the best wide receiver on the board at the time. Crabtree's lack of timed 40 speed made it impossible because Davis is crazy for speed like the bird in that cereal commercial is coo-coo for cocoa puffs.
But I never thought he would bypass Missouri's Jeremy Maclin, who had the speed and a more developed game. I'm a little nonplussed.
Don't get me wrong, I don't wish Heyward-Bey a failed career and he will probably turn out ok. But picking him up at 7, when they could have traded back and picked him later?
That's just not achieving maximum value.
Worse, the team manages to follow it up with an even bigger reach in choosing Ohio Safety Michael Mitchell, a guy most people didn't even have ranked in their drafts much less the second round.
Mitchell also may develop into a solid player, but right now he looks like a workout warrior and a huge reach as the third safety off the board behind Patrick Chung of Oregon and Louis Delmas of Western Michigan.
It's one thing to fall in love with a player. It's another to waste a pick five rounds early.
The Raiders have five picks on Sunday, two in the fourth round. They can recover, given the tremendous value still on the board, but if they keep picking like this, they might as well throw darts at a list on the wall.
Dallas Cowboys
How can I say it's a bad draft when they didn't draft anyone?
Bad enough the Cowboys didn't have a pick for the first round due to last year's wheeling and dealing, but they then traded out of the second.
Meanwhile, value continued to tumble by them in the form of solid safeties, wide receivers and defensive ends.
Maybe it's not bad in the sense the Raiders draft was on Saturday but it's shocking to watch the usually wheeling Cowboys nuetered and missing out on the value on the board.
Cleveland Browns
The Browns made a big move back when the Jets traded for the fifth pick and Mark Sanchez (more on that in a minute) and were poised to grab some great value all day long.
Instead, they kept moving backwards accumulating more and more picks. And when they did spend them, it's questionable whether they took the best value on the board.
I can't argue with the selection of Alex Mack. The center from Cal is a versatile lineman who can work at almost any position along the line. And Brian Robiskie is a polished, fast receiver who runs a solid route tree and will contribute early, especially if Braylon Edwards is traded on day two.
But the Browns can't rush the passer and need a linebacker or top flight defensive lineman.
I say need because while Mack is a great center, USC linebackers Clay Matthews and Rey Maualuga as well as Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitus were on the board still.
Maualuga was in fact still on the board when Robiskie was picked. While offensive line and wide receiver were needs, the pass rush was a bigger one and with several very good linebackers on the board, the Browns chose to fill less important needs.
They also bypassed shoring up their need at cornerback by letting Vontae Davis and Alphonso Smith sneak away as well.
And as much as I think Hawaii defensive end/linebacker convert David Veikune will be a good upside pick, wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi was a luxury, especially behind the Robiskie pick.
Massaquoi may become a good possession receiver down the road, but they could have grabbed a corner, safety or even replace Winslow at tight end.
For a team with so many holes who is rebuilding, it seems like they filled few of them with four picks in the first two rounds.
The Browns have four more picks on Sunday – one in the fourth and three in the six. Lots of defensive talent remains on the board and I hope they can recover from a lackluster day one.
The Awe
New York Jets
Jet Nation is a tad split over the selection of USC quarterback Mark Sanchez, especially given the talent that slid out of the first round and through the second. But when you look at the price they paid, it's more than reasonable for a possible franchise quarterback.
Defensive end Kenyon Coleman, quarterback Brett Ratliff and safety Abram Elam were players who in all likelihood would get cut before camp or in Ratliff's case, clearly hadn't impressed the new regime all that much.
Aside from that, adding the second rounder to a swap that spanned twelve spots between first rounders is a marginal price to pay.
The Jets have put themselves in a position where they cannot make many mistakes on day two though. They have four more picks on Sunday spread across four of the five rounds.
As I said with the Browns, there are many value picks to be had but the Jets have to be conservative to a great extent. They already rolled their dice once and that's as much as they can risk.
Detroit Lions
I will openly admit – and it's a shock to nobody who has read my work the last few months – that I do not agree with the Stafford pick. It's not an awful pick – just not one I believe had to happen this year.
Yet, Stafford could develop into a nice franchise quarterback and he is far from awful. While I may not agree with the strategy to rebuild the franchise, it's a solid pick.
On the surface, Brandon Pettigrew at 20 made me wince as well. But, like Stafford, Pettigrew is considered the top at his position and on top of it, he's a tremendous blocker.
He's no offensive tackle but he will be able to stay in and protect Stafford. A pick that is more shrewd than i gave it credit for at first. As Stafford and the oline get better, Pettigrew can release and become more of a pass catching tight end.
Finally, hard hitting cornerback Louis Delmas. Again, top at his position. And Delmas is the type of hard nosed player who could help give this defense a personality – something it greatly lacks.
The Lions are looking to become more physical on the defensive side of the ball and Delmas will bring that in spades. They also need some help in the secondary and this fills that hole.
Three picks. Three players arguably at the top of their class. They may not have filled all their needs but the ones they did fill were given top talent.
With five picks on day two, including the first in round three and another later the same round, the Lions stand to pick up some very good value. They could easily pull someone like Jarron Gilbert or Michael Johnson to help fill the defensive line hole, pick up the top guard on the board in Duke Robinson or even a decent tackle like South Carolina's Jamon Meredith.
New England Patriots
The rich get richer. And richer. And richer.
How the organization ended up with the same amount of picks they started with, but also an embarrassment of riches in players is beyond me, but that's how they end up being the great team they are every year.
Four picks in the second and every one a value.
Patrick Chung, second best safety in the class brings some thump to the secondary and will make receivers pay dearly.
Defensive tackle Ron Brace got overlooked a bit with BJ raji getting the love at Boston College, but will stuff the run as good as anyone in the draft class and is likely to take over for Vince Wilfork at the nose tackle.
Darius Butler, one of the top corners in the draft, probably won't start this coming season but will take over in the aging secondary within the next year or two.
And while Sebastian Vollmer is a project for the offensive line, he will develop into a nice right tackle and used to play tight end, so he has the versatility to move around for trick plays if need be.
And, oh by the way – they have seven more picks. By the end of the draft they may have multiple picks for next years draft as well.
Before I let you go, dear reader, here are a few teams I am on the fence about. Tomorrow could be pivotal for them.
San Francisco 49ers: One pick, but what value. But you better build on Crabtree use your remaining six picks wisely.
Houston Texans: Methodically took care of two key needs with picks of USC LB Clay Matthews and DE Connor Barwin. Six more picks to shore up the corners and get a back to compliment Steve Slaton.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Almost made the Awe list, but as much as I loved watching them grab two very good offensive tackles in Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton, passing on Crabtree and Maclin and then a host of good defensive line prospects makes me wonder if last season's Oline injury woes didn't get in their head too much.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Did you really need to leap up and pay the price you did to move a few spots? Especially since nobody in front of you was likely to grab your choice of Josh Freeman? Six picks on day two and like the Jets you'd beter make them count. Unlike the Jets though, your new franchise quarterback is a far bigger project and has more question marks.
JaMarcus Russell –
This might be a better than average start for Russell, but does it matter when the average is this bad? You can't start him unless you are in the deepest of trouble. Yes, the Chargers are a fantastically awful 31st vs the pass. But Russell has struggled too early and often to count on in the fantasy playoffs.
Justin Fargas – The run defense here is just good enough to have me worried (15th with only 6 TDs allowed). Michael Turner did get 120 yads but that was Turner and with a good offense. Fargas is not as good and lacks that good offense portion of the formula. And he may split carries with Darren McFadden. A flex? Maybe but a risky one.
Darren McFadden – Boom or Bust with DMac2 – he can put up some numbers but is splitting carries with son of Huggy Bear and having to run with no real threat of passing offense behind him – it could be tough. Again, the Chargers aren't great against the run, but good enough and McFadden may put up a little of this, a little of that and not enough to be worth the start. He might be an early flex or real low end #2. He is a Hail Mary early in the week and I hate those.
WR core – no thanks. Seriously.
Zach Miller – Miller has been the only somewhat stable thing in the offense for a while and given how shaky many TEs are, he will be a decent though not fantastic start most weeks.
Phillip Rivers - A few weeks ago this looked like a much better matchup than it does now. But the oline in SD has actually gotten worse and allowed Rivers to get massacred last weekend against
Ladainian Tomlinson – Sure he hasn't been himself this year. And yes the oline has been sub-par and losing Lorenzo Neal was unfortunate. Still, he is facing the 29th run D and on his own with the same bad oline scored 2 TDs and had 100+ yards. They will key on him and I think – while it will be meh for LT – he will have a good enough day to warrant starting him in all leagues – no lower than the #2 and more than likely worth at least a low level RB1.
Chris Chambers – While he is getting more targets than Jackson, he's still not impressing me and isn't doing anything much fantasy-wise. I wouldn't trust him if I could avoid it, there are better #3s and a few #4s I might like more – including his teammate Jackson. Toomer, Hixon, Ginn are all guys I would rather start.
Vincent Jackson - Jackson is not getting as many targets as he had in the past but the ones he gets are red zone targets. If Chambers could play a little better, opposing secondaries wouldn't be able to blanket Jackson and he would have more room. But he gets some redzone love and between that and his more reliable hands, I don't mind having V-Jax in my lineup as a 4 depending upon other matchups.
Antonio Gates - Gates has not had a very good season, didn't play great last time out (though was the only guy with a receiving TD) and struggled last week. If the Chargers cannot protect Rivers, Gates is in for a long day. I can only hope he plays well – this is almost a bench-worthy matchup right now – with a lesser TE it would be. But Gates can go off – so it will be hard to find someone you trust more often and can count on.
Oct 26
Darren McFadden is out for the RAHDERS today.
Other notes -
Coles is in for the Jets – no word on Cotchery.
Edited to add – Cotchery will play. If it wasn't for the atrocious run D, the Jets pass offense would go off.
NFLN's Adam Shefter is reporting that the Raiders have called a news conference for this afternoon. ESPN's Chris Mortenson is reporting that Lane Kiffin will be fired there. When I return from my work out of the office today I am sure this will all be clear and make sense. Cause Mort's been right every week on this, right?
In all seriousness the writing has been o nthe wall for weeks and interviewing folks while the guy you are replacing is still there is a sign that ESPN will be proven right on this. But with Crazy Al Davis, who knows?
Somehow Al will claim 'insubordination' and not pay Kiff and I hope Kiffin sues him because Davis has been about as classy as a fifty cent hooker on this one.
Fire the man or don't but enough with making up lame lies to not have to pay him. Anyone who works for this franchise has been warned what a badly managed, run and cheap franchise it is. Good luck to the next sucker – I mean coach.
I'll have a follow up post in a mintue but this is brialliant TV.
So yesterday when NFLN interrupted it's loop of the NFL Sunday postgame show for the Kiffin Raiders conference I stopped what I was doing to watch. I'll admit it – I was rubbernecking. How could I not? It was an awkward presser – Kiffin looked like he didn't expect to have been there and might not be any moment. I half expected Davis to come rocketing into frame, fist extended (and bouncing off Kiffin's chin cause let's face it, Davis isn't decking anyone) colliding with Kiffin yelling 'YOU'RE FIRED BIATCH'.
But it didn't happen and my fantasies go unfulfilled.
What happened after the cameras were off – or at least network coverage – is almist as good though.
Read here and here for accounts from writers involved and watching. But this is what Oakland has come to. Verbally assaulting (not so innocent) writers?
Tim Kawakami asked Kiff near the end of the press conference if he felt isolated in the franchise, citing the alleged memo of an ESPN article critical of Kiffin (a rumor from last week during THAT 'Kiff will be fired soon' period).
The best part? Rumor has it Herrera is the one who leaked the ESPN article Kawakami asked Kiffin about. Interesting he took such umbridge no? Anyone here a Telltale Heart?
I may start putting rankings for RBs out Friday night – I mean seriously. How can you keep up?
According to ESPN and John Clayton, McFadden is only at 70% of full ability right now. If that's the case, he'll definitely see split carries and that thought I had during the News Stampede – about Michael Bush being the last man standing? Could be closer to happening that we thought.
McFadden looked good for a couple of games but we all know how a toe injury can linger all season. Rest is what is needed and even if he plays, they won't overdo it. So look elsewhere for a more stable start – and if you are desperate? Check out M. Bush.
Sep 2
Quick reminder that today will launch the Thundering Blurb Daily News Stampede – Monday through Friday I'll drop you a quick 15 minutes of news you'll need to know to get the edge on your league mates.
A few stories of note this morning:
Baltimore Ravens
Willis McGahee returned to practice on Monday and while it's clear he's still coming back from surgery, what isn't clear is who will start. My money is on rookie Ray Rice, but McGahee could steal carries if he practices well enough. Couple that with the fact that I think either runner will face 8 men in a box as the Bengals dare Joe Flacco to beat them with his arm – and I suspect either running back is a risky choice, even against the Bengals. Speaking of quarterbacks, Troy smith is home from the hospital and has dropped an astonishing 20 pounds. He won't be playing anytime soon, hence the rumors Joey Harrington and former Jaguar Todd Bourman might sign with the team.
Oakland Raiders
Javon Walker also returned to practice yesterday and while NFLN's Adam Shefter reports that he is considered questionable with a hamstring injury, he looked fine, though he did have trainers check his leg out. Walker is not someone I want to have to start at all this week against Denver.
Seattle Seahawks
Matt Hasselback was back at practice Monday and said his back was not going to be a factor going against the Bills week 1. While I am always concerned with a back injury, I may be more concerned with the beat up wide receivers. Hass could be a risky play against an improving Bills secondary.
That's all for now – remember to subscribe to ITunes and get the News Stampede delivered right to your door!
More later….
Tuesday Stampede
Aug 12
I will be posting my top 20 College Football rankings this afternoon either all at once or in halves – depends on how long the list is with commentary.
Onto the NFL -
Arizona Cardinals
Cards coach Ken Whisenhunt says that Matt Leinart has improved his audibling and red zone work and will not be coming out of games at that spot on the field. While I still think Leinart is a shaky choice for a Fantasy QB until he shows me he can be consistent, it's good to hear he won't get 'middle relievered' during an important Fantasy sequence on the field and it does lessen my concerns a bit.
Oakland Raiders
From 'The Sky is Falling' column – rookie RB Darren McFadden fumbled 3 times in Monday's practice. While I don't think think the sky really IS falling (first fumbles of the preseason) you will now recall that one of the issues some people (including me) had with him pre-draft was his 15 fumbles his last year at Arkansas. This was a concern and will continue to be until he proves otherwise, but as these are his first fumbles in camp, I won't worry much, he shouldn't be going so early in drafts that a fumble problem will leave you hanging too badly.
Cincinatti Bengals
Rookie Keith Rivers seems undaunted by missing a teeny bit of camp – he led the Bengals with 7 unassisted tackles Monday night and didn't even start. He will probably be an intriguing late round/waiver pickup in IDP leagues, asssuming people chalked him up to 'rookie' and he went undrafted in the first place. He certainly seems to have stepped right up for the Bengals which they really needed to have happen. Tight End Ben Utecht seems to really be getting those promised looks in the offensive scheme. He had a good Monday night and the staff is putting 'special plays' together for him. I might be starting to believe it…..
San Diego Chargers
Antonio Gates is running but also in a lot of pain, and apparently very frustrated with his lack of progress. He says he will not play early if it damages the season long term, which is good for your overall season, but bad if you want to draft him. If you get Gates, you may be in the position of being forced to take a back-up TE early to cover for him if he's out a few weeks. If you go early on a tight end, my advice is to think of Jason Witten or even Tony Gonzalez. Better yet, get one of the later tier guys and keep an eye on the waiver for value. Amongst the TEs I like later are Jeremy Shockey, Vernon Davis on the earlier side, Owen Daniels, LJ Smith, Ben Utecht on the later side.
Baltimore Ravens
More great news for McGahee owners – the knee he just had scoped? It's the one he has had multiple surgeries on, the one he wrecked in the Fiesta Bowl 5 years ago. He showed up to camp out of shape so rehab is an iffy proposition. Ray Rice continues up the boards as McGahee drops.
That's all for now – questions and comments can go to firstname.lastname@example.com as well as the comment section below.
College rankings coming later this afternoon (my afternoon, not the East Coast's).

Growing international trade has helped lift living standards around the world, and yet free trade is always under attack. Critics complain that trade forces painful economic adjustments, such as plant closings and layoffs of workers, and charge that the World Trade Organization serves the interests of corporations, undercuts domestic environmental regulations, and erodes America's sovereignty. Why has global trade become so controversial? Does free trade deserve its bad reputation?InFree Trade under Fire, Douglas Irwin sweeps aside the misconceptions that litter the debate over trade and gives the reader a clear understanding of the issues involved. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest developments in world trade--including the practice of off-shoring services, the impact of trade on wages, and the implications of trade with China-based on the latest research.

Imagine you are a pioneer in the early 1800's looking for someplace to settle. You're on a riverboat slowly floating down the Ohio River; the paddle wheel spinning lazily as it churns the waters, pulling the vessel down the tree lined valley. The boat stops at a landing nestled in the Ohio Valley, surrounded by the low foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
As you walk off the gangplank and go ashore, you find yourself in a quaint little village bustling with merchants and traders. You have just arrived in the tiny village of Marietta, the first permanent settlement of the new United States in the Territory Northwest of the River Ohio, established in 1788.
Now, if you fast forward to present day, you can actually still see the village as it once was. Authentic brick streets, the trolley rail still running down the middle; large Victorian homes lined up next to each other on shaded lots, with thick lush green lawns and meticulously kept landscaping adorned with an abundance of colorful flowers and green foliage plants. Back on the river there are sternwheelers still moored for visitors to explore. Downtown the large courthouse still remains with the tall clock tower that strikes the time each hour.
Marietta is full of history and charm and it hasn't really change at all through the years. It still boasts as a quiet little village that its residents love to call home and where many have come to retire. And it just so happens to be considered number six of the top 20 towns to visit by Smithsonian Magazine.

"It's with a heavy heart that I bang this gavel tonight," said new Mayor for the City of Guymon Dave O'Sullivan as he brought the City Council meeting to order on Thursday evening. "I just ask for continued prayers for Kenny Huckins family and that our prayers bring them comfort during this terrible time."
These were the words spoken by Dave O'Sullivan as he humbly accepted to fill in as Mayor due to the unexpected death of Mayor Kenny Huckins on Tuesday, May 4.
Under Oklahoma law, O'Sullivan automatically fills in as Mayor in the event the current Mayor passes away. He had the option to accept or the council could re-elect. O'Sullivan was honored to fill in those shoes.
The council voted councilman Jim Norris as the City of Guymon's new Vice Mayor. Norris was elected as councilman in 2009. When asked what some of his goals are as the new Vice Mayor he replied, "What I really want to focus on is moving forward on our capital improvement projects."
City Council voted to nominate a new City Council member instead of holding an election. "I say we choose to nominate a new councilman in order to save money," said Mayor O'Sullivan. "The term ends next April so if anyone interested would like to contact the City about becoming a councilman or wants to nominates someone, they are welcome to do so."

Remember that Deadpool movie? The one that was announced days after the $85 million opening weekend of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with Ryan Reynolds attached to star? It still hasn't seen the light of day, even if it's inching forward, according to the erstwhile Wade Wilson himself.
"It's actually, within the last couple of weeks, taken a few very, very small tiptoes forward," Ryan Reynolds tells JoBlo.com. "I think if I were a betting man, it'll get made, eventually. I mean it's just been developed to high heaven. It has great people around it, so we'll see."
However, the actor is among the first to admit that getting a greenlight from Fox has been a difficult process.
"There's minimal impact to the studio, which is the way we're kind of presenting it to them," he says. "We're saying, 'Look, the budget is minimal. Therefore, can we do this the way it should be done?' Which unfortunately needs a Rated R or it needs those elements. The script is probably available online, it leaked. But it's very meta, I mean, the character knows he's in a movie, he knows he's in a comic book. He names studio executives in the script. So, it's kind of a risky property."
It's almost creepy how obsessed Reynolds seems to be with this project. I mean, I can get someone having a "Dream Job" they'd like to do one day . . . but Deadpool? Really?
well i guess he just doesn't want the shitty origins deadpool lingering over his head
Even Deadpool said he wanted Ryan to star as him in a movie.
Better hurry while Deadpool comics are still good. They could hit a Daniel Way patch again.
Or maybe the reporter asked him about Deadpool because it's one of the only newsworthy things to ask Ryan Reynolds about right now?
This really deserves to be made! Reynolds seems to be so passionate about this… Maybe he's become a fan of Deadpool himself and wants to prove that he can get the Merc right? I actually have confidence that if it gets greenlighted it could actually be the most faithful adaptation of any X-Men property in a movie by Fox but alas Fox isn't going to greenlight R rated movie because that way they can't milk enough money from kids. That's one big problem in movie business… Characters like Wolverine, Punisher and Deadpool are hard to get right if you're not allowed to show them really cutting loose… It's in their nature and without that they just aren't the same…
I'm confused as to how being asked a question about the movie makes him obsessed.
I'm confused as to why you thought such an obvious straw man of a question was actually worth the time you wasted asking it.
His obsession isn't indicated by the fact that he answered this particular question alone. It's indicated by the fact that he's been talking incessantly about getting a Deadpool movie made for years despite the fact that, by his own admission on multiple occasions, the studios aren't particularly interested it. And as far as his answer to this question goes . . . he almost sounds like he's on the verge of begging the studio to make the movie. ("There's minimal impact to the studio, which is the way we're kind of presenting it to them.") His attachment to the character seems a bit desperate.
my Aunty Brooke recently got a nearly new black Subaru Impreza WRX
STI by working parttime off of a macbook… check out this site Jam20.ℂom
Good god man, he loves a character and wants to make a film happen. Often times when he is interviewed it comes up. What in the world is wrong with that?
You have cameras on him 24/7 to see that he is incessantly obsessed, as you put it? Or do you just read interviews with him that talk about 'Deadpool', because there isn't really much else to talk to him about?
It feels inevitable and like it'll never happen at the same time.

Right to Counsel in Housing Court
In a move that signals the progressive pull in New York City Government and would seem long overdue to those within the housing rights movement, more than half of the City Council is supporting a new bill that would guarantee everyone representation in housing court.
In 2013 alone 246,864 eviction notices were issued around the city. 99% of those who made it to housing course represented themselves in court. By contrast landlord/building owners were counseled by some of the best representation money can buy. Many tenants tend to move instead of fighting the case in housing court often giving up their rights as residents, being unable to afford a housing lawyer. Research has shown that legal representation would have changed the outcome of many these cases. Pro bono lawyers are too few in supply to help curb the flood of new evictions. Joining the progressive arm of NYC's Democratic caucus are several tenant's rights groups along with legal service providers .
The move comes in an effort to preserve what rent regulated units are left and to curb the rate of homelessness which is exploding in most of the five boroughs. The idea for guaranteed counsel for lower income New Yorkers is nothing new however. On March 14th 2005 the Lawyers' New York Association issued a resolution, forged after meetings on October 29th 2004, which proposed many of the same details which is this legislation. . Publications195_0.pdf. According to some of the findings in studies used for this report, those who have lawyers to represent them dramatically reduced the chances of being evicted. Family members who are faced with the difficulties of dealing with being evicted and at times possible homelessness have been shown to be at a greater risk of health problems linked to the stress. Further, whole communities are at risk once mass evictions and gentrification wash through a given area.
On October 24th 2007, Council members Rose Mendez and Alan Gerson proposed an amendment to the administrative code in New York City in relation to providing legal counsel to tenants who are on the verge of losing their homes. The proposal, if it had passed, would have guaranteed counsel in housing court to those tenants considered at risk or bring in a lower than average income; who are facing eviction due to nonpayment or a hold over. These occupants include those who reside in rental units, coops condominiums and one or two family houses.
An eligible defendant for guaranteed counsel would also include residents who are 62 years or older, is part of a house hold whose total income does not exceed the permissible amount for those who collect benefits. Designated organizations must provide legal services to eligible tenants and has to be recognized by the "civil justice coordinator" in charge. Further break down of the proposal can be viewed on the Gotham Gazette link .
When considers that out of the 300,000 eviction cases filed in 2013, 246,864 were granted, it is plain to see that any lower income tenants representing themselves in court are usually over matched. According to Emily Jane Goodman of the Gotham Gazette less than 12% of tenants who face eviction have the resources to even be able to pay for a lawyer, as of 2006.
One may ask how such a law is not in place already for housing court. The answer is simple. Housing cases are civil court cases where, unlike criminal cases, one must pay for their own representation if they are to have one in court. http://www.gothamgazette.com/index.php/public-safety/3134-housing-court-should-tenants-have-a-guaranteed-right-to-counsel. So now that more than half of the city council supports the latest legislation we will see if it passes this time around or we going to see another failed opportunity.
Until next time…

Jerky recall by a Utah company has affected 45 tons of beef jerky products. The USDA announced that the packaging was mislabeled and failed to list a known allergen. According to KABC-TV Los Angeles on Feb. 13, the company did not name soy lecithin as being part of their jerky.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's food safety service announced Tuesday that Salt Lake City-based Prime Snax Inc. is recalling products made before Feb. 2 that were shipped around the country.
Jerky recall involves a total of 90,000 pounds including five brands from the Salt Lake City company. The list includes Arizona Jacks, Desert Star, Southwest Trail, Terrell and Kettle Creek. Watch out for beef jerky products marked with "EST. 18951."
Company CEO claims that the recall was voluntary and the result of a mistake. The labeling error was technical according to the CEO. He also claimed that he did not know that it was necessary to mention the known allergen.
Luckily this jerky recall has not been associated with any known reports of injury or death related to the use of the listed products. Soy lecithin is used in cleaning and should have been listed on the packaging.
So far 2014 is off to a rocky start when it comes to problems with beef in the United Sates. Another company in California had to return nearly 9 million pounds of beef to a processing center because the animals were improperly inspected.

Extracurricular activities are not simply an opportunity to fill those hours between school and home. Rather, they have been strongly correlated with higher test scores, increased motivation, and improved grades.
For instance, a 2005 College Board study indicated a strong connection between extracurricular activities and higher SAT scores. College of DuPage research concluded that students who participated in extracurricular activities had a greater likelihood of positive attitudes toward school, which then led to higher grades and motivation. The United States Department of Education determined that students who were involved in extracurricular activities are three times more likely to have GPAs of 3.0 or higher.
This is not to say that extracurricular activities are the only—or even the best—method to improve your ACT/SAT scores, but they may offer an opportunity to enliven your typical study habits. Here are five activities to augment your ACT/SAT math results:
Academic competitions
There are a number of academic competitions that students can join. Some are individual endeavors, while others are team-oriented. Certain programs will focus specifically on one subject (such as college-level math), while others span multiple topics. The United States Academic Decathlon is one example of a popular academic competition.
In chess, you are unlikely to learn specific math equations, but the game challenges you to think critically – a key skill for both the SAT and ACT. Depending on your school's program, you may even compete against other groups. This will further provide you with opportunities to sharpen your critical thinking skills beyond the classroom.
Software development
Coding is an increasingly popular after-school activity in many states. It is also a subject that relies heavily on algebra, like the ACT and SAT do. Like chess, creating an app, game, or website also stretches your ability to think critically and to solve problems.
Math clubs
Such clubs that focus solely on math through challenges, games, and group projects can provide a spark of interest that may be lacking in your geometry class (or in your ACT/SAT review regimen). You may learn several new equations that you will face on a standardized exam, or you may become even more familiar with the existing material you have been studying.
Physics and engineering clubs
This type of extracurricular activity tends to be rare within high schools, but those that do exist prompt students to build trebuchets, rockets, and other designs. Each project relies on advanced math and physics equations – a select few may even appear on the SAT or ACT. Engineering and physics clubs require you to interact with formulas and understand them at a deeper level – not just memorize them. That is precisely how the SAT and ACT are designed. They will not determine if you can remember equations, but rather if you can truly comprehend them.
Extracurricular activities can boost your admissions resume in more ways than one! Browse the opportunities available at your school, identify your niche, and begin enhancing your skills to ultimately enhance your scores.

Read the Prostate Cancer: Surgery article > >
Prostate cancer is the most common noncutaneous cancer affecting men in the United States. From 2004 to 2008, the median age of diagnosis of prostate cancer was 67, and the incidence rate was 156 cases per 100,000 men per year.[1]
Many studies suggest that CAM use is common among prostate cancer patients, and the use of vitamins, supplements, and specific foods is frequently reported by these patients. For example, the Prostate CAncer Therapy Selection (PCATS) study was a prospective that study investigated men's decision-making processes about treatment following a diagnosis of local stage prostate cancer. As part of this study, patients completed surveys regarding CAM use, and more than half of the respondents reported using one or more CAM therapies, with mind-body modalities and biologically based treatments being the most commonly used.[2]
International studies have reported similar findings. A Swedish study published in 2011 found that, overall, participants with prostate cancer were more likely to have used supplements than were healthy population-based control subjects. Supplement use was even more common among patients with the healthiest dietary patterns (e.g., high consumption of fatty fish and vegetables).[3] In a Canadian study, CAM use was reported among 39% of recently diagnosed prostate cancer patients, and the most commonly used forms of CAM were herbals, vitamins, and minerals. Within those categories, saw palmetto, vitamin E, and selenium were the most popular. The two most popular reasons for choosing CAM were to boost the immune system and to prevent recurrence.[4] According to another Canadian study, approximately 30% of survey respondents with prostate cancer reported using CAM treatments. In that study, vitamin E, saw palmetto, and lycopene were most commonly used.[5] A British study published in 2008 indicated that 25% of prostate cancer patients used CAM, with the most frequently reported interventions being low-fat diets, vitamins, and lycopene. The majority of CAM users in this study cited improving quality of life and boosting the immune system as the main reasons they used CAM.[6]

The former spin doctor tells a court about both his relationship with David Cameron - and his affair with Rebekah Brooks.
19:36, UK, Monday 14 April 2014
Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson has admitted spending a weekend with David Cameron since resigning as his media advisor over alleged involvement with phone hacking.
However, the 46-year-old told the Old Bailey he had not spoken to the Prime Minister since being arrested in 2011.
Coulson denies a charge of conspiracy to intercept communications and two of making corrupt payments.
He resigned as News of the World editor in 2007 after the conviction of former royal editor Clive Goodman for hacking.
The father-of-three then joined Mr Cameron's media team until January 2011.
Taking to the witness box for the first time, he said: "My family and I spent a weekend with him (Mr Cameron) in the spring after I left. I have not spoken to him since."
The invitation came before he left his Downing Street job, Coulson confirmed. He also spoke about his affair with Rebekah Brooks - his boss after joining the paper as deputy editor in 2000.
Their affair began in 1998 but was not continual.
"There were very long periods - very long periods - where the relationship was what it should have been," Coulson told the court.
"But I don't want to minimise it or excuse it. It was wrong and it shouldn't have happened and I take my full share of responsibility for the pain it has caused other people, not least my wife."
Both Brooks and Coulson are accused of conspiring to hack phones - but Coulson denied their relationship involved him "breaching professional standards or rules".
Coulson, who is still married, succeeded Brooks as editor of the now-defunct tabloid in 2003.
He was asked about managing editor Stuart Kuttner, who also denies conspiring to hack phones, and described his former colleague as a "thoroughly decent man" and an "incredibly experienced professional journalist".
The court heard about 2005-06 budget proposals, which were sent by Kuttner to Coulson and included a halving of hacker Glenn Mulcaire's £105,000 annual contract, listed under his company Nine Consultancy for "special inquiries".
Coulson denied any knowledge of Mulcaire as a private detective.
"I assumed the description special inquiries meant finding people, looking for people, possibly surveillance in the main and that Nine Consultancy was part of that process," he said.
"It was not an area of the News of the World I was particularly interested in."
Asked about the figure paid to Mulcaire's company, Coulson added: "I would not suggest that £100,000 is not a lot of money but in the context of a £32m budget it's not a massive sum.
"We paid double that, I think, to the astrologer."
Coulson was asked about a £22,000 budget item called "flowers and Oddbins".
There were laughs in court when he replied: "I think it's the flowers and alcohol."
The trial was adjourned until Tuesday.

BEREA — Major renovations to the former Cleveland Browns Stadium will not begin until after the 2013 season, but fans should experience minor improvements to their game-day experience this fall.
Browns president Alec Scheiner announced a series of changes Monday that are designed to make trips to FirstEnergy Stadium a more pleasant experience than it has been since opening in 1999.
"If you don't listen to your fans, you're just taking their own experiences and forcing them into play," said Scheiner, who previously served as the Dallas Cowboys' senior vice president. "We reached out and spoke with many of them in order to learn what we could do better. We want them to have a voice.
"We know we have a lot of work to do. This is just the beginning."
The most noticeable change is an overhaul of the Browns' stale game presentation, which has long been regarded as one of the worst in North American pro sports. It also has stuck out like a sore thumb to Cleveland fans, who have become accustomed to the Cavaliers' award-winning entertainment package.
The Browns will have an on-field DJ spinning tunes before games, the music and scoreboard video selections will be updated, and player introductions will feature pyrotechnics and new video packages.
The team also has hired a drumline to perform at each home game, and will "have a couple of surprises on opening day" that Scheiner didn't want to reveal just yet. Cleveland hosts the Miami Dolphins in its regular season opener on Sept. 8.
"Jimmy (Haslam III, owner) and Joe (Banner, CEO) have talked a lot about 'fan experience' — and all of this is about the 'fan experience'," he said. "We want to harness their energy and keep the passion."
The Browns also want to alleviate the congestion at each entrance to the stadium, which has become an inconvenience as the NFL continues to increase its security standards.
A total of 20 turnstiles and 44 security screening lanes have been added, which Scheiner says will allow 4,000 more fans to enter the facility during any 15-minute span.
In order to assist with the process, the Browns have hired Contemporary Services Corporation — known for their bright yellow CSC Staff t-shirts — as their exclusive provider of crowd management services. Team spokesman Zak Gilbert confirmed that CSC has replaced Tenable Protective Services in the role.
The Browns' team store also has been expanded and complemented by numerous merchandise kiosks throughout the stadium. An increased selection of products has been ordered, addressing another common customer complaint.
Two other aspects of the stadium experience are part of NFL-mandated programs that go into effect immediately.
A cell tower for Verizon customers has been added as part of the company's four-year, $1 billion contract to stream live NFL games. Additionally, Scheiner said AT&T has upgraded its on-site tower, which should provide vastly improved service for all cell phone customers.
Though the NFL strongly encouraged its teams to have complete wi-fi capabilities installed for 2013, Scheiner said it is not in the team's plans at this point.
Browns season ticket holders also will receive a small, transparent plastic bag to carry their belongings into the stadium. The league reduced the size and shape of purses and bags that fans are allowed to bring through the gates during the offseason.
"Our fans, historically, have not come into the stadium until right before the game starts," Scheiner said. "We want them do that now, so we've giving them reasons to come in early and enjoy themselves."
Haslam plans on spending $100 million to upgrade the stadium over the next two offseasons, but will not reveal specifics until later this year.
Quarterback quest
The Browns ran four goal-line offensive drills — all with 50 seconds on the pretend game clock — and converted on two of them for points.
Taking over on Cleveland's 40-yard line, incumbent starting quarterback Brandon Weeden drove the first team for a game-winning, 43-yard field goal by Shayne Graham. Two completions to wide receiver Travis Benjamin set up the score.
Backup Jason Campbell, working in the same situation, tossed a 36-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordan Norwood on third-and-10. Coach Rob Chudzinski also allowed kicker Brandon Bogotay to kick a 48-yard field goal, which he made.
The second scenario featured the Browns trailing by four points with no timeouts when taking over at their 38-yard line.
Weeden illegally called a timeout before being picked off by Chris Owens, while third-stringer Brian Hoyer was intercepted by Kent Richardson on a deflected pass at the goal line.
Brownie bits
Nose tackle Phil Taylor (calf) took part in team drills for the first time at training camp since 2011. He missed all of last year's preseason activities after tearing his left pectoral. Ishmaa'ily Kitchen served as his backup.
• Owens worked with the first-team defense, opposite top cornerback Joe Haden, while Johnson Bademosi manned one of the safety spots.
• Linebacker Craig Robertson intercepted Weeden on a sideline route, continuing his strong camp.
• Offensive coordinator Norv Turner scolded tight end Gary Barnidge on two occasions, but the sixth-year pro bounced back by hauling in an over-the-shoulder pass from Campbell.
• Guard Jason Pinkston complained to the officials that defensive linemen Jabaal Sheard and Paul Kruger were illegally luring him to false start.
Injury update
Wide receiver Josh Gordon missed the majority of the 2½-hour practice after his patellar tendinitis flared up. Coach Rob Chudzinski was uncertain if the second-year pro will undergo an MRI, but said he wasn't concerned about the injury.
Rookie safety Jamoris Slaughter (hamstring), running back Montario Hardesty (hamstring), safety Tashaun Gipson (shoulder), fullback Brock Bolen (calf), defensive end Desmond Bryant (back spasms), tackle Chris Faulk (knee), guard Oniel Cousins (ankle), and tackle Ryan Miller (concussion) did not practice.
Extra points
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will visit Browns training camp to attend a USA Football and Pop Warner youth football clinic on Thursday afternoon.
Former Cleveland running back Jamel White and wide receiver Steve Sanders will also be among the speakers, as is USA Football president Carl Peterson.
• The Browns' over-under for wins this season has been established as six, according to offshore bookmaker Bovada.
• PGA Tour player Jason Dufner attended practice. The Northeast Ohio native was befriended by Weeden, whose home is located on a golf course in Oklahoma.

There's something about picking out curtains that makes us feel a little excited that we're no longer just "playing at grown up." Investing in window treatments like these Pheasant Eye Curtains ($80-188) is a total step up from the usual cheap-o sheers we toss into our carts at Target. In fact, we better go measure our windows a second time - don't wanna find ourselves ordering ill-fitting drapes!

The Jackalope
The Jackalope (Lepus-temperamentalus) is one of the rarest animals in the world. A cross between a now extinct pygmy-deer and a species of killer-rabbit, they are extremely shy unless approached. None have ever been captured alive: this rare trophy shows a fine speciman of a mighty buck. Known by the ancients as "deerbunnies", it wasn't until the early 1960's that the modern, more fearsome, name of "jackalope" was adopted. Click the link below the photo for more about jackalopes.

Teaching Assistant: TBD
E-mail: TBD
Office Hours: TBD
Syllabus: www.eecs.harvard.edu/~michaelm/CS222/syllabus.html
Handouts: www.eecs.harvard.edu/~michaelm/CS222/classrev.html
This course is loosely based on the theme of how to deal with really big data, especially over networks. The topics change from year to year, and the professor is traveling this summer, so the below is subject to change. The course will consist of multiple independent units, covering the major themes of information retrieval (search engines), compression, data summarization algorithms, and coding. Although the course will emphasize theoretical foundations, it will definitely be a mix of both theory and practice, and current issues will be emphasized. The main work of the course will require reading a number of current and classic research papers.
During the semester, you will be reading essentially 2 research papers to prepare for each class. This is more work than it sounds like! You must come to class prepared consistently; if your schedule will not permit that, you should not take the class.
A major component of the class will be a final project, which you will work on for approximately the last 2 months of the course. The hope is that this project may form the foundation of either a research paper or, for undergraduates, a senior thesis. Although you will need to obtain approval for your project choice, the topic of the final project will primarily be up to you. This project can either be theoretical or implementation based in nature. Generally people work in pairs for the final project, but this is not required.
Students should have taken at least CS 124 or its equivalent. Students should be able to program in a standard programming language; C or C++ is preferred. Knowledge of probability will be extremely helpful but not required. Generally, mathematics will be fundamental to the course, so you should expect to spend time learning some additional mathematics on your own if necessary. Similarly, some knowledge of networks and network issues will be very helpful. For students wishing to review important aspects of probability, Sheldon Ross has written several excellent introductory books which are available in the library. My personal favorite is "Introduction to Probability Models." A more advanced book for those with more background is "Elements of Information Theory" by Cover and Thomas. Another good book is "Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms" by David Mackay. Of course, my completely biased opinion is that the best book for a computer scientist to buy is by Mitzenmacher and Upfal, "Randomized Algorithms and Probabilistic Analysis." I'd recommend most students get one (or more) of these books as a reference.
Your performance will be measured in four ways. (The percentage contributions to your grade given below are approximate and subject to change.)
Summaries are to be approximately 250 words (about 1 page). Longer is not better. Summaries should be typed or handwritten extremely neatly. Summaries must be handed in on paper at the beginning of class. Sending in summaries by e-mail is generally not permitted except in extreme emergencies.
All assignments will be due at the beginning of class on the appropriate day. Late assignments are not acceptable without the prior consent of the instructor. Consent will generally only be given for major emergencies.
If you collaborate with one or two other students in the course in the planning and design of solutions to homework problems, then you should give their names on your homework papers.
Under no circumstances may you use solution sets to problems that may have been distributed by the course in past years, or the homework papers of students who have taken the course past years. Nor should you look up solution sets from other similar courses.
Violation of these rules may be grounds for giving no credit for a homework paper and also for serious disciplinary action.

Spanish poet, Rafael Alberti, wrote about an existentialist crisis in his poem Desahucio (Eviction). Like a house without furniture, he is empty and wonders what forces or "angels" will rent the space again:
"qué ángeles malos, crueles,
quieren de nuevo alquilarla?"
This is a question many Spanish desahuciados might be asking, particularly since some evictees are thrown out of their flats only to suffer the indignity of watching them being taken over by squatters.
And perhaps more urgently, there´s the question of what to do with the belongings that filled these homes, if the bank hasn´t appropriated these as well.
Obviously, evicted mortgage holders who can´t meet the payments to keep a roof over their heads can´t afford to pay for self storage for their effects either.
So what happens to their stuff?
For now, in Madrid, the Almacén de Villa storage area located in an industrial estate in the dormitory town of Coslada, is providing an answer. This free storage option run by Madrid City Hall is allowing evicted citizens to keep their belongings there and stop worrying about their possessions in order to concentrate on sorting out their housing situation.
What is not clear is for how long these evicted people will be able to leave their belongings there. Under normal circumstances, after two years, stored goods have one of four destinations. If they are of any value, they are put up for public auction. If they are suitable for furnishing local administrative offices, they are used in this way. Anything else of use is donated to NGOs and finally, what nobody wants or needs is recycled as rubbish.
What Spain needs, however, is for the citizens who have been evicted to be rehoused and to be able to redeem their furniture and other belongings.
And start again – leaving this economic and existentialist crisis behind them.

Obama: Fixing Structural Economic Problems Could Take Years
President Barack Obama said the structural problems hampering the U.S. economy could take "more than one president" to correct, according to excerpts of a 60 Minutes interview that will air Sunday evening.
In response to a question about whether Mr. Obama underestimated how difficult it would be to fix the economy, Mr. Obama said, "I always believed that this was a long-term project."
"For individual Americans, who are struggling right now, they have every reason to be impatient. Reversing structural problems in our economy that have been building up for two decades, that was going to take time. It was going to take more than a year. It was going to take more than two years. It was going to take more than one term. Probably takes more than one president."
Mr. Obama also said it was "possible" the unemployment rate could fall from its current level of 8.6% to as low as 8% by November 2012.
"But I'm not in the job of prognosticating on the economy," Mr. Obama said in the interview. "I'm in the job of putting in place the tools that allow the economy to thrive and Americans to succeed."

Associated Press
a device called an acoustic Doppler current profiler is tethered to the side of a boat and used to take stream flow measurements and river depth readings on the Red River in Fargo, N.D. in April 2013. Even with reams of data, forecasting a flood is still an imprecise science.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Perched in a boat drifting slowly along the Red River, Dan Thomas kept one eye on a laptop and the other on a $60,000 piece of floating hardware that beamed sound waves deep into the flooding river. As the signal bounced off water molecules and returned, the laptop sorted it into data on the river's depth and speed and transmitted it instantly to the National Weather Service.
Once there, the work by the U.S. Geological Survey's water expert became part of the data stew the weather service relies upon to regularly update crest projections for rivers like the Red, which rose again this spring to briefly threaten Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn. And the complexity of the science was never more evident than this year, when an early forecast of 40 feet prompted costly sandbagging only to be repeatedly revised downward until the Red barely broke a harmless 33 feet.
The apparent false alarm irritated some residents who questioned why the city spent $2 million preparing for the flood that wasn't. And that irritated Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker, who has sparred with the weather service himself in the past.
"They all become experts," Walaker said. "You can't believe how many times I get stopped throughout the day by people who tell me the water is not going to get to a certain level."
Greg Gust, the weather service's warning coordination meteorologist in Grand Forks, acknowledged the agency had heard criticism of its projections for Fargo. He said it is constantly studying ways to improve its performance, but will always have limitations.
"Many times the weather service is being asked to do the impossible," Gust said. "We're being asked to forecast an unknown situation out into the future. We don't have a perfect knowledge what's going on today in the system, and yet we're supposed to be able to forecast some unknown point in the future where clearly we have no knowledge.
"That said, that's the task of a forecaster."
Flood fights have become routine on the Red River at Fargo, but this one came nearly a month later than ever before due to winter conditions that refused to loosen their grip.
"We don't have anything to go on when these things go on so late," Steve Buan, a weather service hydrologist who works on river forecasts in the region, lamented as the Red was rising.
Flood forecasting in this part of the continent starts with models for determining how much snow is on the ground. Observers record every snowfall. But it's even more important to figure out how much water is in that snowpack, which requires melting samples. It can also be done by going airborne to measure the natural radiation coming from the soil — a factor affected by the water in the snowpack.
Next up is more modeling on what will happen when the snow melts, which includes a dizzying number of variables. Is the ground frozen? How deep? How much moisture is in the soil?
Months of drought worked in Fargo's favor this year. So did a freeze-thaw cycle that melted snow and warmed the soil during the day — giving runoff a place to go — and then slowed or stopped the melting overnight.
Weather service hydrologists get data on snow depth, water content, frost depths and soil moisture levels from many different sources, including their network of observers. That network has been bolstered in the Red River Valley over the last couple years by several high schools and middle schools participating in the River Watch program of the Fargo-based International Water Institute.
The students melt snow samples to see how much water is in their local snowpack, institute director Chuck Fritz said. They use frost tubes placed in the ground that contain chemicals that change color to show how deep the frost goes. And they use infiltration rings to measure how fast the ground can absorb water.
Wayne Goeken, a monitoring and education specialist with the institute, explained how infiltration rings work. They drive a 10-inch ring of PVC pipe about 2 inches into the ground in the fall. Then when the ground starts to thaw in the spring, students pour 4 inches of water into the ring and use a ruler to measure at one minute, three minutes, five minutes and longer intervals whether and how fast the water soaks into the ground. Then the schools feed that data to the weather service.
Forecasters run actual and predicted rainfall through their models, Buan said. They use more modeling tools for how the water will flow downstream. And they have to take into account potential changes in how much water is held back in reservoirs, such as Lake Traverse at the southern end of the Red River watershed.
Once forecasters have an idea of how much water is coming, their models also tell them about the relationship between the projected stream flows and how high the river will be at any given flow rate, which ultimately helps them predict how high the river will rise.
Most of those broad principles hold true for most river systems, Buan said. Perhaps the biggest difference between forecasting the Red and more southerly systems like the Mississippi's is the need to account for frost in the ground in northern states and how it affects runoff rates, he said. The different topography is also a factor. The Red River Valley has almost no slope; the Mississippi has considerably more.

I doubt fewer films will be more polarizing this year than 'Under The Skin', a dark sci-fi horror film directed by Jonathan Glazer ("Sexy Beast"). Judging by recent reviews, it's a love-or-hate-it film for many viewers.
"Under The Skin" arrived on Blu-ray on July 15, 2014. It's certainly an odd singular experience. Scarlett Johansson plays an alien disguised in alluring female form. She drives a van around Scotland, picking up young men for what they assume is a night of carnal delights. But the truth is much darker. She lures men to their doom.
And I think it's fair to say that their demise is one not before seen in cinema. They follow her in her dark apt, descend into black murky water and undergo a horrific yet hypnotically transfixing transformation that one can't look away from.
This appears to give her sustenance, and her hunger grows for more victims. She's aided in her quest by a silent motorcyclist, presumably another alien aiding her in her quest.
Johansson's portrayal is impressive. She truly feels like a fish far out of water. Attempting to maintain a ruse that begins to unravel when she starts developing a primal level of empathy towards her victims.
If there is anything off-putting about the film, it's a snails pace that dulls it's impact. The endless driving scenes could have been cut far shorter and more effective. But visually it's quite beautiful, with cinematographer Daniel Landin's forming painterly compositions in out of the way Scottish landscapes.
His use of small handheld cameras gives the film a surveillance quality, as if there are alien satellite cameras tracking Johansson's movements. This gives the movie an intense, intimate quality than is at odds with it's emotionally remote character. It's a fascinating juxtaposition.
It's also an unrelentingly dark film. There are many unresolved scenes of anguish that are truly disturbing, and an ending that is cruelly bleak. Mica Levis' unnerving score heightens the tension and unease of the material.
But in it's own quiet way, it's somewhat of a triumph. Through a vague storyline and compelling visuals, it comes across like a fever dream that touches on sex, body horror and gender identity. It lives up to it's title quite effectively.
The images look crisp and clear on the Blu-ray transfer. Extras are sparse but include several production featurettes. The best of which showcases the remote locations used to shoot the film.
"Under The Skin" is Rated R and runs 108 minutes.

Every Bus and Tour Operator knows the value of getting your website listed highly on the search engines and this has driven the demand for companies to use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services.
So when developing the latest version of Tours for TravelManager we wanted to insure that your tours would get indexed quickly by the likes of Google and Bing. To do this we create static HTML pages dynamically, which basically means that rather than having the pages created via a database when the customer makes a request, the tour pages are performed. (This is a big deal for search engines in helping them read the pages and for creating nice search engine friendly URL's).
For example:
1) Traditional Solutions usually create a URL like this:
www.mytourcompany.com/search?&232-REF0013a.php (No SEO value)
2) while Travelmanager creates URL's like this:
www.mytourcompany.com/tours/city-sightseeing-tour-of-copenhagen.html (Clearly shows it's a City Sightseeing tour in Copenhagen)
**This also helps search engines categorize your web pages and along with some other proven techniques for tags and image labels we're seeing our customers website shoot up the search engines.
