|Event Dates: Tuesday  June 24 - Saturday  June 28
|City: Flint State: Michigan Country: USA
|Event Type: Meeting
|ASA Sponsored: Yes
|This international conference is being organized by Kettering University to celebrate the IYS 2013 and the 175th anniversary of the American Statistical Association (ASA). Our intention is to bring together statisticians with expertise in statistical modeling, education, and applications. The conference will focus on multi-disciplinary use of historical data for the City of Flint, MI. The data consisting of up to 100 years of demographic, health, labor, census, and crime records will be summarized in advance of the conference. Analysis and models based on historical records will be included or discussed in the plenary sessions, invited talks, presentations and tutorials. The Flint history spans the early years of the automotive industry, the force behind Flint's growth, as well as its decline, both of which have had an impact on the Flint community. Each Session of the conference will start with an extended presentation of statistical achievements and perspectives in the discussed area, followed by several talks on current research and results.

Global Concerns Hammer MarketsPosted Friday, February 5, 2010, at 3:56 PM
On Thursday, most of the futures markets suffered massive sell-offs as traders dumped stocks, physical commodities and foreign currencies. As concerns grew about the debt crises in Europe and hopes for a quick economic recovery in the U.S. waned, traders shifted their assets in a "flight to quality." In this move, traders sought investments that they viewed as less risky, such as the U.S. Dollar, U.S. Treasury bonds, and the Japanese Yen.
On Thursday, crude oil fell $4.58 per barrel to four-month lows, while gasoline and heating oil each fell 10 cents per gallon on expectations that demand for the fuels would diminish. As of Friday morning, March crude oil was trading at $70.50 per barrel, down 17% since making a 15-month high three weeks ago.
Unlike other recent "flight to quality" moves, the precious metals were dumped on Thursday, suffering massive losses. Gold plunged $50 / oz loss, the biggest one-day loss since 2008, while silver dropped over $1 per ounce. The collapse in both metals continued on Friday, with March silver dropping to a five-month low at $14.84 per ounce, while gold broke beneath $1050 per ounce for the first time since November.
Sugar, which made a 29-year high on Monday at 30.4 cents per pound, was unable to continue its rise this week, and sank 1.4 cents/lb to 26 cents on Friday, a 14% crash this week.
Only a few markets were able to escape Thursday's selloff unscathed, including cattle and natural gas. Both markets rose on expectations of colder weather across the Midwest, which could interrupt the cattle supply and increase the need for heating. Natural gas extended its recent 9% rally this week, trading Friday morning near $5.60 per million BTUs. Cattle continued their two-week bullish run, with the April Live cattle contract trading Friday near $0.90 / pound, up 6% since late January.

Microsoft Gazumps Mandriva in Nigeria
Nigeria's Classmate PCs will not run on Mandriva Linux, but on Windows.
Just three days ago, Mandriva proudly announced that the 17,000 Classmate PCs ordered by Nigeria would be running the French distribution. Two days ago the success story took a strange twist: Nigeria will be paying for Mandriva machines but installing Windows on them.
In his blog, the obviously irate Mandriva CEO, François Bancilhon, published an open letter to Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, giving vent to his frustration and making some fairly vague assertions:
"Wow! I'm impressed, Steve! What have you done to these guys to make them change their mind like this? It's quite clear to me, and it will be to everyone. How do you call what you just did Steve? There is various names for it, I'm sure you know them."
Mandriva will be hard hit by the loss: on the one hand the company will be losing support business, on the other hand, the order would have given Mandriva a foothold in the race for market shares of educational systems in developing countries.

Optimization of Optical Properties of Polycarbonate Film with Thiol Gold-Nanoparticles
AbstractA new nanostructured composite film based on thiol gold nanoparticles dispersed in polycarbonate and prepared by evaporating a solution of 1-dodecanthiol gold nanoparticles and polycarbonate was developed for applications as optical lenses. Lenses with superior mechanical properties, coloring and UV ray absorption and with the same transparency as the matrix were obtained. The supporting highly transparent polycarbonate matrix and the chloroform solution of thiol gold nanoparticles, 3 nm mean size, was mixed according to a doping protocol employing different concentrations of thiol gold nanoparticles vs. polycarbonate. The presence of nanoparticles in the polymer films was confirmed by the spectrophotometric detection of the characteristic absorbance marker peak at 540–580 nm. The nanostructured films obtained show a better coverage in the UV-vis range (250–450 nm) even at very low doping ratios, of the order of 1:1,000. These results offer a very promising approach towards the development of efficient nanostructured materials for applications to optical lenses.

Job Details
The Level Creek Methodist Church was established in 1823 and was named after the nearby creek. The church was organized in the Phillip Lamar schoolhouse and was the center of the frontier community's life. Every gathering was a social event; the new arrivals met their neighbors and enjoyed meals of "corn-pone and hog meat, fried chicken and venison ham." Since most of the settlers did not have a formal education, spelling was taught and spelling bees were held for young and old at the church's Sunday School. Jones Douglas, one of the first settlers and founders of the church, is buried not far from the new Level Creek Elementary School site. Lucretia Douglas, one of his daughters, kept a diary for many years and wrote the following about meeting the school master: "When I was four and a half years old, a school teacher by the name of Weems came to our house to get father to subscribe to his school and asked how many he could send. Father replied that he could send five or six, and pointing to me, said: "Would you have the like of that?" "Yes," he said, "That is a good size, and if she does not mind me I may pull off my big nose and throw it at her." I looked and sure enough it was a big one. And what a good time we little girls did have learning and playing. I can never forget how sister Lexie and I and our playmates used to learn our lessons and build play houses, and then run home and get June apples and grapes and plums and cherries." A description of the Level Creek Schoolhouse in 1923 gives us a glimpse of the outside ("condition fair, water from spring, ample playgrounds, no garden, one toilet in fair condition") and the inside ("value $1,000.00, two rooms, no cloak room, poorly lighted, ventilation bad, clean, painted") of a rural schoolhouse of that time. The schoolroom equipment consisted of "double patent desks, plenty of good blackboard; three maps, no charts, a globe, some pictures, no library, some magazines." There were two teachers and seven grades, with 49 enrolled and 37 present. It is fun to imagine life as it used to be in our community. How exciting it is to continue this legacy of learning at Level Creek Elementary. Sources: Gwinnett County GA Schools 1923, Gwinnett Historical Society, Inc.

Wayne Collett
|Personal information
October 20, 1949
Los Angeles, USA
|March 17, 2010
(aged 60)
Los Angeles, USA
|400 metres
Medal record
Wayne Curtis Collett (October 20, 1949 – March 17, 2010) was an African-American Olympic athlete, who competed mainly in the 400 m.
Collett competed for the United States in the 1972 Summer Olympics held in Munich, Germany in the 400 m, where he won the silver medal. During the medal ceremony Collett and winner Vincent Matthews talked to each other, shuffled their feet, stroked their chins and fidgeted while the US national anthem played,[1] leading many to believe it was a Black Power protest like that of the 1968 Olympics Black Power salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos in 1968. Leaving the arena after the ceremony, Collett gave a Black Power salute.
The Associated Press noted that the casual behavior of Matthews and Collett during the playing of the anthem as "disrespectful", and described the conduct as follows:
:"Collett, bare-footed, leaped from the No. 2 tier to the No. 1 stand beside his teammate. They stood sideways to the flag, twirling their medals, with Matthews stroking his chin. Their shoulders slumped, neither stood erect nor looked at the flag. ... As whistles and catcalls continued, Collett raised a clenched fist to the crowd before entering the portal of the dressing room."[2]
In an interview after the medal ceremony with the American Broadcasting Company, Collett said the national anthem meant nothing to him.[1] He explained that he had felt unable to honor the anthem, because of the struggle faced by African Americans at the time: "I couldn't stand there and sing the words because I don't believe they're true. I wish they were. I believe we have the potential to have a beautiful country, but I don't think we do." The pair were banned from future Olympic competition by the IOC; since John Smith had pulled a hamstring 80 meters into the final while leading and had been ruled unfit to run, the USA were unable to field a team in the 4 × 400 m relay and were forced to scratch from the event.
While he was still on the rise as an athlete he was pictured on the March 1970 cover of Track and Field News as a hurdler.[3] On the March 1973 cover, he and Mathews are pictured from the award stand promoting an article "All Gold Does Not Glitter."[4]
Collett graduated from UCLA in 1971, where he later earned an MBA and law degree. He practiced law and worked in real estate and mortgage finance.[5]
He died after a long battle with cancer at St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles on March 17, 2010, aged 60.[6]

I did this: I upgraded WordPress
I expected the plugin to do this: continue to allow me to adjust keywords, etc in the Page dropdown.
Instead it did this: They worked before the upgrade, but now the controls in the Page view won't open.
I haven't tried the dev version because I'm not sure if there is a way to do this that won't wipe out all of my settings. I also haven't changed any of the plugins since I know the WordPress upgrade was the trigger. Given all of that, what should I do next?

The Miami Heat organization has made more headlines than any other team this offseason. Apparently, their summer league squad is trying to add its own two cents.
Of the many ongoing battles for training camp invites, none is bigger and more apparent than the one between two rookie 300-pound titans.
Apparently, second-round draft selection Dexter Pittman isn't a lock at securing a roster position after all. He's being pushed by Garret Siler, another rookie hopeful.
The Miami Heat selected Dexter Pittman at No. 32 in the NBA draft. Most Miami Heat fans and sports analysts thought they had a steal of a pick. A few mock drafts had Pittman as a late first-round talent—so did I.
In Pittman, the Heat acquired a 6'10" and 303 lb mammoth of a man who was credited with having the biggest hands in the draft (10.5 inches.) He also has a 7'6" wing span.
Many regarded Pittman as a prospect with soft hands, shocking speed and quickness, and a solid player with back-to-the-basket post ability. He was billed as being a mature player that would be ready to contribute to a Miami Heat roster in need of size and bulk.
Well, they got the size and athletic ability to show up.
However, the effort and statistics haven't materialized to justify the pick. He has struggled to do the things that were supposed to be his strengths. Suddenly, his prospects for making the Heat roster are looking dim.
Some have attributed his struggles to the recent death of his 15-year-old brother, who was killed by a gun shot on May 15 in Houston.
Nevertheless, things aren't looking so well for Pittman. He hasn't rebounded well (seven in two games) or finished his looks around the basket (2-for-10 in two games). The only aspect of his game that has been impressive is his shot-blocking ability. He has four blocks in two games played.
Complete stats from summer league
Garret Siler is a 23-year-old that went undrafted in last summers' NBA draft. Back then, he was a 7'0", 303 lb unknown from Augusta State University, a Division II school.
When he entered the draft, it was thought that Siler was nothing more than a massive body with a lot of raw potential. He showed a soft touch in workouts and an ability to draw fouls. But NBA teams took notice of his extremely high field goal percentage (72%) in his junior season. He also lead his club to back-to-back 20-win seasons.
Siler participated in last years' summer league with the Indiana Pacers but eventually didn't make the club's final roster. His failure to make the roster were largely because of his limited athleticism and being overweight.
Siler would be drafted by the Utah Flash in the August 2009 Developmental League draft. However, after only two games with the team, Siler would pack up to take his show on the road.
His destination was China.
Siler landed a roster spot on the Shanghai Sharks, a team credited with the development of Houston Rockets' center Yao Ming. Yao Ming should be credited for much of Siler's development, working with him on getting in shape and teaching him different aspects of the game.
While working with Yao, Siler would shed 27 lbs off his 303 lb frame. After dropping down to 276 lbs in a period of four months, the NBA once again came calling. After leading the Sharks to the semi-finals, the Atlanta Hawks extended an offer to him to come work out.
Atlanta eventually passed on him but New Jersey offered him a roster spot. Siler would play four games for their summer league club and shoot a whopping 83% from the field. Safe to say, the Heat took notice as they've given him a chance to try out.
Think Different
Garret Siler wasn't on the radars of any Heat fans the last I checked—he sure wasn't on mine. I was good as sold on Pittman being the future for the Heat at the center position.
Siler's past two summer league games for the Heat have made me think differently.
It's clear that Silers' year overseas has matured him as a player. The guy has made play after play when given the chance to play consistent minutes. In three games, he's shooting 77% from the field and averaging five rebounds and eight points.
He's slow but gets up the court quicker than one would think. He's shown some explosiveness in getting off his feet and he's rebounded well on both ends of the floor and has been a pleasant surprise in the individual and help defense department.
It'll be interesting to see what he does tonight after putting up 15 points and seven rebounds in his last outing.
I doubt the Heat are ready to give up on Dexter Pittman this early in the summer. Being a second-round draft pick, they can hold on to his rights and simply ship him overseas for a year of development. That might not be what Heat fans want to hear but it's shaping up to be the most likely outcome.
What will be more interesting than the Pittman situation is what the Miami Heat decide to do in regards to Garret Siler. He's clearly earned a invitation to the team's training camp. The question remains as to whether they extend an offer.
Heat fans should hope so.

Final Thoughts
I hate this driver. I really ran into so many problems with it. The first run with the HD 6970 saw some massive performance drops. Even doing a reinstall of the drivers didn't change it the first time. The second time I did the reinstall it finally worked.
Across the board the HD 6870 seemed to cop a bit of performance loss and at first I thought it was just because of something not going well in the initial setup, but I reinstalled the drivers, re downloaded the drivers and retested the card again after testing the HD 5870, and no matter what, performance was constantly down.
Outside of all that, I couldn't get into the Catalyst Control Center, as each time it said that no ATI card was present in the system. Although, if you check GPU-Z it says the 11.2s are installed, and if you actually check the performance it's pretty much spot on with both the HD 5870 and HD 6970.
I can't remember the last time I told someone not to bother with a driver release from AMD, but this is honestly one I would be avoiding. I'll still be using only up to the 11.1s in future AMD reviews, at least until the 11.3s come out.
I'm not sure if these issues are just specific to me, but to be honest, when most people have complained about driver issues, I've never seen the problem, and I test a lot of cards and a lot of drivers. This time, though, it's just no dice.
I'd probably wait for the 11.3s and stick to what you're currently using this time around.

AIKEN, S.C. -- The Aiken Department of Public Safety wants your help in identifying a woman involved in two different scams on Monday.
In both incidents, the victims were approached in parking lots by a black female. The female asked the victims if a bag containing large rolls of cash was hers. When the victims said no, she asked to get into the car with them.
The victims did not allow her to come into their cars, which is when the female handed them a cellphone. The man on the other end of the line then told the victims to allow the female inside their cars so they could go to a lawyer's office to claim the reward money.
The female is described as being in her mid-40s and approximately 5'8". One of the victims saw the female leaving the scene in an older green sedan.
If you have information, call Crimestoppers of the Midlands at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6372). Callers could receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

The most often invoked exception to Mississippi's open meetings act by some government officials is, "it's a personnel matter."
Put 10 Mississippi government officials or commission appointees in a room and it would be interesting to hear their answers to a quiz on what constitutes a personnel matter.
Section 25-41-7 (4)(a) of Mississippi law narrows the legal definition of personnel matter to "relating to the job performance, character, professional competence or physical or mental health of a person holding a specific position."
Attorney Katherine Kerby of Columbus provides counsel to dozens of government clients and is chairwoman of the Mississippi Bar's section on government law. She said that the Mississippi Open Meetings and Public Records act is simple and straightforward, yet she concedes there are frequent problematic areas.
Enforcement of the state's open meetings act is up to citizens. Unlike when other laws are broken, there is no one, no agency to phone to take action on the public's behalf. And, almost annually, the Mississippi Legislature has adopted more and more exceptions that allow secrecy.

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

Melbourne will be Australia's biggest city by 2037
- From: news.com.au
- April 27, 2010
- Sydney risks losing relevance
- Affordability critical within five years
- Melbourne's population to hit 5.7m
MELBOURNE will overtake Sydney as Australia's largest city within three decades, with a lack of housing in NSW driving migrants south.
The shift in economic fortunes will see Melbourne overtake Sydney's global city status in population, migration and economic growth by 2037, an economic report has forecast.
The report cites evidence of a "three-speed" economy in the past decade: the resources tearaways of Queensland and Western Australia leading the pack, the one-time rustbelt states of Victoria and South Australia growing strongly, and NSW slipping into the slow lane, The Australian reports.
The report, titled Going Nowhere, was compiled by forecaster BIS Shrapnel for the Urban Taskforce developers' lobby.
On current trends, the study finds that by 2020 NSW could enter a downward spiral as the nation faces the demographic challenges of an ageing population - poor housing affordability, lower immigration, less workers, a diminishing tax base and "a greater likelihood economic growth will decline alarmingly".
"Melbourne, with its long-term population growth of 1.3 per cent a year, will displace Sydney as Australia's largest city in 2037," Urban Taskforce chief Aaron Gadiel said.
BIS Shrapnel predicts Melbourne's population will be 5.7 million by 2037.
Another report, by Access Economics, forecasts that South Australia's population will grow by 71,000 to reach more than 1.7 million by 2013-14.
Moving south: Immigrants choose Victoria over Sydney
BIS Shrapnel lays the blame for the NSW economic and home-building malaise with Bob Carr, premier from 1995 to 2005, whose land policies and environmental preference for retarding population growth gave birth to the idea "Sydney is full".
The level of the shortfall is shown in figures released under Freedom of Information laws. The data showed Sydney stood to fall short of its housing targets by 27 per cent, delivering about 180,000 new homes by 2013 instead of the 245,000 NSW Government target, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Urban Taskforce chief Aaron Gadiel said the report showed a global city in decline.
The report says the five major problems with planning in NSW are high regulatory risk, high development levies, under-supply of development sites, lack of support for large projects, and landlord market power.
But NSW Premier Kristina Keneally denies that Sydney is lagging behind Melbourne.
"Sydney is Australia's only global city and there is no credible evidence to demonstrate that is going to change.
Ms Keneally said there were a number of factors influencing housing construction starts, not all within the government's control.
"Those that the government can influence we are pushing as hard as possible - things like slashing infrastructure charges and levies, accelerating planning processes," she said.
"There are other things the government can't influence, particularly the availability of finance and the decisions taken by individual land owners to make their land available for development.
"What we have done is use the tools at our disposal to make it as attractive as possible for construction and development to occur."
With the State Government handing down its report card on land supply later this week, a spokesman for Planning Minister Tony Kelly said NSW was set to meet the challenge to its status.
"Sydney is the nation's only international city, which means it is a super magnet for interstate and international migration and growth," he said.

Skip to comments.Ann Coulter: I Nominate Sarah Palin as Time's Person of the Year 2008
Posted on 12/12/2008 9:50:39 AM PST by lewisglad
Ann Coulter Conservative best-selling author
I name Sarah Palin for her genius at annoying all the right people. I haven't seen liberals so enraged by a woman since me. Once John McCain was nominated, the election was a snoozefest until our hero bounded out of the Alaskan tundra. Palin is wildly interesting, charismatic and charming, so Democrats fixated on her inexperience--meaning she is only five times as experienced as our next President.
Ron Paul Texas Congressman and 2008 Republican presidential candidate
Amid a horrific financial crisis, all we hear are calls for more of the money-printing, spending and subsidies that created this mess. So I choose my great teacher, Ludwig von Mises, champion of the Austrian School of economics, who taught us how a central bank like the Fed causes booms and busts and how to build prosperity through sound money and economic freedom.
Dara Torres First U.S. swimmer to make five Olympic teams
It sounds like a cliché, but in times of turmoil, stick with those who provide inspiration, comfort and love. That is what Oprah Winfrey has always done for me. Whether it is insight into the things I feel as a person, a woman, a mom or a citizen of this world, I always know where to turn when I'm confused or unsure.
Muhammad Yunus Nobel Peace Prize-winning economics professor whose pioneering Grameen Bank fights poverty with microcredit
I nominate Barack Obama. He has galvanized the people of the U.S. and inspired the whole world. Young folks everywhere see him as a symbol of hope. Amid all the terrible news about such calamities as the financial crisis and the food crisis, he stands out as the overwhelming good news. He can create history by setting the political and economic tone for the 21st century.
(Excerpt) Read more at time.com ...
I agree with Ann. Sarah is the real deal.
That "naughty librarian" thing sends me every time.
Forgot the ";-)" at end of 2nd sentence.
Great post to follow the idiotic rantings of Colon Powell.
At least Sarah made the final 4. But Time will surely go with Zero, or their subscriber base will go totally bonkers!
"[Obama] stands out as the overwhelming good news"
They should go around door to door and ask people if they've heard the good news.
I nominate Barack Obama.
A guy named Muhammad nominating 0bama. Imagine that.
What subscriber base?
So a guy named Muhammed nominates Hussein Obama.
Good point, maybe Time will just go online someday and quit the newsstand.
I admire Dara Torres for what she accomplished, she shouldn't have to turn to a knucklehead like Oprah for inspiration. She's not part of the solution, she's part of the problem.
I'm guessing a lot of that will be covered in the seven million dollar book deal she's doing right now. (with a media tour in Iowa and New Hampshire afterwards of course :)
" I would like to see some red meat Sarah now that see isn't under McCain."
I would as well. I think Sarah has tremendous potential, but now she can step out of the (squat and hunched over) shadow of McCain and start conveying her own vision for America. She should not only write op-eds, but give speeches on the values of conservatism in an increasingly socialistic environment.
Until this above statement I was with Ann. Oprah did establish herself as caring, open, sincere, wanting to give others the benefit of her intelligence, etc.
Only now Oprah is in to "new age" religion. The study she is producing on satellite radio for "The Course In Miracles" with Marianne Williams, is just that.
Like "The SECRET" that she did/promoted on her show a couple of years ago. She is fostering the NEW AGE MOVENENT. Clearly. Also she loved OBAMA and I heard her say with tears ... "whatever it takes to get him elected ... we must do."
She is entitled to her opinion of course. She is very influential ... so ...
Sarah is a terrific for the person of the year. 100%
I have to agree with Ann on this one. As I've said before, one of the reasons I like Sarah Palin is the fact that lefties react to her the way a vampire reacts to sunlight.
Dear Time,
Just give it to BO and we'll continue not reading you.
"TIME" is still in business?
For how many more weeks?
That way they can delete their "mistakes" when necessary.
Not all of us, sunshine.
As good as Sarah is, there are truly two persons, or entities this year. They are the Republican party and the nation's MSM which unwittingly combined to facilitate the likes of Obama gaining control of this nation.
Four or eight years from now, it will be known if they destroyed this nation or not. And thus they had the most impact on the nation, this time for the worst.
and that definitely means Sarah is doing something right :)
Dara Torres said that about O the First, not Ann (not too clear with the formatting).
Ann didn't make that statement.
I can't wait for Sarah to be prez. and Ann as vp. or the other way 'round, I don't care either way is an over the top turbocharged nightmare for all evil f's all around the world.
Sounds like Sarah and Ann should get together for lunch sometime!
I just know if these two pair up, look out world!
Only two pictures.
Joe the Plumber: he exposed the truth that the Democrat Party is not the party of the 'little guy'.
I emailed the NRA yesterday, and suggested that Gov. Palin be invited to address their convention on May 15-17th, in Denver. I've read they are expecting as many as 65,000 to attend during that 3 day period. The person who responded said that my suggestion would be forwarded up the line. I also emailed the March for Life organizers, and suggested that they invite Gov. Palin, no response from them yet. I've read that they are hoping for about 200 to 250,000 this year. I said in my email that if Gov. Palin attended they would get a lot more people to come.
You got it right, but I see it as a bonus. Granted when I first heard about Ms Sarah being a possible nominee, her beauty was just too easy to fixate on with my petty one track mind. However, after careful study her philosophy became much more attractive. I happen to be lucky enough to have a similarly beautiful and philosophically grounded woman love and respect me, so naturally I'm biased.
Stop right here...I don't need to read any further. I know who he's gonna nominate.

I reiterated that I in no way gave any authorization for these charges and cancelled my membership to Bargain Network in the 30 day time period, so how could they just get my info and do such a unlawful thing? She said she would credit my account (debit card) the third fee. I'm hoping that all of this does happen. I also would like to see something done about these rip off companies. There should be some kind of penalty!!!

INDIANAPOLIS -- As promised, I'm about to deliver my annual combine mailbag, which will feature news and nuggets related to every team in the division. I've spent four days talking to draft prospects, coaches, agents and scouts. Now it's time for you guys to pick my brain. This shouldn't take long.
Casey from West Liberty, W.Va., is concerned about the Cowboys' WR situation: Please tell me that Dallas is considering other options at wide receiver aside from Roy Williams at this point. You've got to think that if you can get Anquan Boldin for a second rounder at this point you pull the trigger, don't you?
Mosley: So we're back around to Boldin trade scenarios? I'd missed those days so much. I think the Cowboys would be better off adding a wide receiver via the draft. It looks like second-year player Kevin Ogletree could develop into a No. 2 or 3 receiver if he's given enough attention. That's why I don't think the Cowboys need to select someone such as Golden Tate at No. 27 overall. Let's remember that Miles Austin and Ogletree were both undrafted. And Patrick Crayton has had a very nice career after being selected in the seventh round. There's no pressure to send a second-round pick to the Cardinals for Boldin. He wants to be a No. 1 receiver. That's not going to happen in Dallas, where Austin's quickly become the main man. And you also have the highest paid No. 2 receiver in the game in Williams.
Mike from Richmond, Va., has a question about the Skins' RBs situation: So I hear Thomas Jones is going to be released. Do you think this is someone the Redskins would be interested in? Everyone is saying how much Shanny likes LT. I would think Jones would still have more in the tank. Thoughts?
Mosley: Everyone who's saying that Mike Shanahan loves LaDainian Tomlinson is exactly right, Mike. I think the coach has immense respect for Tomlinson after being battered by the running back in the AFC West. As AFC West blogger Bill Williamson told me this past week, Shanahan always covets players who have stuck it to him in the past. That said, I think you're correct to say that Jones has more left in the tank. He's arrived at that magic age where his skills begin to decline, but he could still be effective as a complementary back. Would he be happy splitting carries with Clinton Portis in Washington? Well, he may not have a choice. Honestly, I think Chester Taylor might be a better fit than Jones in Washington.
Joseph from Bloomer, Wis., wants to talk about the Eagles' plans for free agency: Matt, what do you think the chances are that the Eagles make a big splash in free agency this offseason? Do they make a serious run for Julius Peppers? What about Darren Sproles? (I know there's more serious needs than RB, but he might fit in nicely.) Is there someone else on their radar that we're not hearing about? Do they go after someone big or do they stick with their usual M.O. and try to build through the draft? And how do you see the potential uncapped year affecting how the Eagles go about business? It seems like the majority of teams are going to do the opposite of what most initially expected and limit their spending as opposed to going all "NY Yankees" on the league. Thanks for the excellent offseason coverage!
Mosley: New general manager Howie Roseman opted not to speak with the media during the combine, so I can only go on what I'm hearing from other folks from the organization. I'd be surprised if the Eagles threw a bunch of money at Peppers. They know what it's like to sink a ton of money into an elite pass-rusher and basically come up empty. (See Jevon Kearse). There's a concern from people who've been around Peppers that he doesn't truly love the game. Something tells me that Andy Reid and president Joe Banner, the true power brokers, aren't looking to get into business with a guy like Peppers. I think it's more likely the Eagles will look for a pass-rusher in the draft. But I'd try to find a starting safety via a trade or free agency. It's a lot to ask of a rookie to step in and start at safety. Just ask Macho Harris about that. Even if you select someone like Taylor Mays or Nate Allen, it's not like you feel great at the position immediately. As long as you don't have to spend wildly, I'd go after someone like Darren Sharper from the Saints. He's getting older, but he's still a highly productive player. I've read the stuff about how Tracy Porter was the key to that secondary, but you'd be crazy to think the Saints would've made it to the Super Bowl without Sharper.
Erik from Long Island, N.Y., wonders which direction the Giants will go in the draft: Hey Matt, just curious, as a concerned Giants fan, what you're thinking about the Giants' draft focus this year. Certainly the secondary and defense need holes plugged, but what positions (and players) specifically do you think the G-men will go after? And who might they take with their first pick?Is it possible that LB Rolando McClain could still be in the mix when the Giants get to pick at 15th overall?
Mosley: I guess there's a slight chance, but my gut (and scouts) tell me that McClain's success at Alabama won't allow him to slip to No. 15 in the draft. McClain's intelligence level and ability to diagnose things on the fly is off the charts. He was an extension of head coach Nick Saban and he'll go down as one of the best defensive players in the history of the school. It's far more likely the Giants will have a shot at inside linebacker Brandon Spikes out of Florida. He's a guy who reminds me a little bit of the Cowboys' Bradie James. Sort of a high-hipped player, as they say. He has excellent instincts, but he doesn't always accelerate to the ball as quickly as you'd like to say. That said, I think the Giants would be pretty happy to have Spikes at No. 15. They certainly need help at safety, too, but I don't think you "reach" for a guy that early. Of course, you could always trade down if some team is yearning to move up the board.
Dan from Lakewood, Colo., has a Mike Shanahan question/statement: Mike's a good coach. But he won those two Super Bowls with Hall of Fame players. When they left, he won one playoff game. Does he really know QBs or was John Elway already in his prime when he got here? He know X's and O's better than most. He can't draft or trade to save his rear! He brought in some dogs to the Broncos the last few years. Washington needed someone with his resume. They just don't have a QB that puts fear in the defenses. Bronco Fan since 1963.
Mosley: I don't think that's really fair to knock Shanahan for winning with "Hall of Fame" players. I don't think anyone thought Terrell Davis was headed for the Hall of Fame when he was selected in the sixth round out of Georgia in 1995. That decision had a huge impact on Elway breaking through to win a couple of Super Bowls. Do you think Elway wins those Super Bowls if Pat Bowlen retains Wade Phillips?
Now, it's fair to criticize Shanahan for some of his decisions on the personnel side. He allowed the defense to become a mess his last couple of seasons. Perhaps general manager Bruce Allen will serve as a better sounding board for Shanahan leading up to the draft. You could certainly argue that Shanahan had too much power in Denver. He'll have similar authority with the Redskins, but Allen's no shrinking violet. He'll have plenty of say before Shanahan makes a decision.
Mike from somewhere in Maryland wonders if the Redskins could shop one of their tight ends: As it stands right now, the Redskins have a lot of needs on the offensive line, they have holes in the defense as well and it looks like they might lean toward a QB in the first round. However, they have two TEs who could be considered very good, Chris Cooley a Pro Bowler and Fred Davis, who looks to be heading for that level. I notice there are many teams that have a big need at TE, including the Patriots. Do you see the Redskins trying to shop one of their TEs to pick up extra draft picks? Also, what do you think each would be worth in terms of a straight trade for picks?
Mosley: Mike, I think Shanahan wants to play to the roster's strengths, so I'm not sure why he'd want to trade one his talented tight ends. Teams such as the Colts have shown how two tight ends can be pretty effective. I know the Cowboys were thrilled to have Jason Witten and Martellus Bennett -- before Bennett wandered off somewhere (figuratively) during the season. Davis can become a much better blocker and Cooley can continue to be a playmaker in the middle of the field and in the red zone. Of all the moves the Redskins need to make, I think trading a tight end ranks pretty far down the list. But keep reading the NFC East blog in case I change my mind.
Ryan P. from Pickerington, Ohio, is concerned about a certain Randy Moss rumor: Hello Matt! I read your blog just about every day and had a question. Is there any truth to the rumor that the Cowboys are in talks with the Patriots about a trade for Randy Moss? As a Dallas fan, I couldn't imagine having Moss opposite Miles Austin. If this is something that could happen, who would the Cowboys be giving up for this to happen? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
Mosley: Jerry Jones thought long and hard about drafting Randy Moss 13 years ago, Ryan. I think he already has a No. 1 wide receiver Austin and he's paying another guy, Williams, No. 1 money. So I think this is nothing more than a rumor. No one from the organization that I've spoken with has given this rumor any thought -- other than being amused by it.
Brian from Durham, N.C., has a question about Giants general manager Jerry Reese: Mr. Mosley, I faithfully follow the Beast blog for all of my New York Giants information. I was excited to see that you were able to line up an interview with Jerry Reese this weekend. Reese has shown no hesitation for selecting players from non-traditional football programs the past couple of years. Does Reese prefer to see a player that he likes from a small school not invited to the combine? How does the risk of not seeing a player perform at the combine weigh against relying solely on film scouting?
Mosley: Brian, thanks for embracing the blog. It's really hard to "hide" a player in this day and age. Even with a guy like wide receiver Ramses Barden out of Cal Poly, it's not like the Giants were the only team that knew about his immense potential. Every now and then, you might be able to take advantage of a kid not getting invited to the combine. As Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News wrote Sunday, sometimes the league just makes an error in judgment and doesn't invite incredibly productive college players such as Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes and Baylor linebacker Joe Pawelek, who was a two-time All-Big 12 selection, to the combine. But Reese knows not to get too cute early in the draft. That can get a general manager in trouble. Makes sure you're taking Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks early in the draft. Then go looking for the Bardens of the world.
Thanks for reading.

Skill Level Intermediate
In this movie, I'll show you how to resolve a problem associated with our effects so far. So, in a previous movie, I was telling you how ducky it is that we can edit our letters even though they're filled with these static dots. However, it's equally awful that our dots don't exactly line up with the letter forms. And to show you what I mean, I'll press the Ctrl+spacebar keys. That's Cmd+spacebar on a Mac in order to get my zoom tool on the fly. And then I'll marquee around this region right there. And you can see what I mean. Notice that the dots shift down and to the right outside the letters.
They shift down and to the right inside the left edges as well. That's ultimately a bug. Illustrator's misinterpreting the location of the letter forms, when assigning those letter forms as a clipping mass. The solution is to go ahead and select that text with a black arrow tool, and then go up to the type menu and choose create outlines which converts the letter forms to path outlines. The problem is, of course, you lose your right to edit this text in the future. So what you want to do before you choose that command is go ahead and zoom out by pressing Ctrl+0 or Cmd+0 on the Mac and make any last minute adjustments to the text that you need to.
So, I'll go ahead and press the t key to switch to the type tool. I'll double-click in the text, and I'll go ahead and reverse the order of the letters. Press the Escape key in order to accept my changes. So let's say this is really, truly, the last effect I'm looking for. Well, I'm still going to go ahead and duplicate that object here inside the halftone layer. So I'll go ahead and twirl it open, grab that clip group right there, and Alt-drag or Option-drag it upward, until I see the fist with the plus sign. Drop it in the place. Turn the original off so it's nice and safe and then, with the duplicate selected, go up to the Type menu, and choose Create Outlines, or you can press Ctrl+Shift+o or Cmd+Shift+o on a Mac.
Now, unfortunately, that gets rid of the fill associated with our new clipping mask. So what you need to do, is go ahead and twirl this new clipping group open, so that you can see this compound path down here in the background, that's what it is, and you can confirm that that's what that truncated CO means by meatballing, that is clicking on the little circular target right there that's associated with that outline item. And you'll see the words compound path over here on the far left side of the control panel.
Now what you might want to do at this point is fuse these letters together. Just so you have the cleanest effect possible. Because after all, they do overlap. And the easiest way to achieve that effect is to go to the window menu and choose path finder. To bring up the path finder panel and then click on this very first shape mode icon, Unite. Just go ahead and click on that guy. And you will unite those letters together. However, things get even worse at this point. I'll go ahead and hide the path finder panel. Because we have broken the clipping group.
Notice it no longer reads clipping group up here, it reads group. That's a real shame. So what we need to do in order to reconstitute things, is to go ahead and select the group, the entire group right there, the big group. By clicking in its so-called meatball and next, you want to go up to the object menu and choose Ungroup so we break up this group cause otherwise it gets in our way. And then you want to return to the object menu, choose Clipping Mask, and choose Make, so that the top path outline which is the letters, the letter forms that is that are fused together now, go ahead and mask those dots in the background.
And then finally, twirl that guy open again by clicking on a triangle. Meatball the outlines letters right there, go ahead and click on the circle. And then you can go up here to the first swatch in the control panel, click on it, it represents the fill by the way, and then select this swatch, which is loaded by default into this document. It's the one that reads R241, G90, B36. That's the shade of orange I used anyway. And then you can go ahead and click off the letters to deselect them, and now if I press the Ctrl+Spacebar keys or Cmd+Spacebar in the Mac and go ahead and marquee to zoom on in.
You can see that the dots align perfectly with the letter forms. All thanks to our ability to convert the letter forms to static path outlines. Which perfectly mask their contents, here inside Illustrator.

It turns out a couple suspected of stealing checks from a woman in Breathitt County and using them in Laurel County have been behind bars in Perry County for weeks.
Kenneth Robinson admitted he stole checks from a purse at the Jackson Wal-Mart late last month. He's now in the Kentucky River Regional Jail. His wife, Arbutis Mize posted a $5,000 bond and is on house arrest.
Officials say surveillance video shows them inside a London Kroger using the stolen checks the same day they were taken from the victim's purse. Police say some were also passed at other businesses for cigarettes and gas. Robinson says he thinks he stole about $400 from the victim.
"I wish I could go back and redo it you know, and not do it but I can't. All I can do is tell the lady I'm sorry and try to make it right to her if she'll give me a chance to do that. If not, I guess, you know, whatever," said Robinson during a jailhouse interview.
Officials say at the time of their arrests, Robinson and Mize were wearing the same outfits as the couple in surveillance video.
They are both charged in Laurel County with five counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument. Mize is charged in Perry County with forgery and theft by unlawful taking. She's due in court Monday.
The couple was arrested in Hazard August 31st.

text: Posted April 15, 2009 Well I am going on a 10 day Field Excercise starting tonight. So I am going to miss the whole first round. I just hope we make it pass the first so i can go see the canes in the second round. I hope this board is still rocking when I get back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites


text: Posted May 23, 2012 How might I do this? Having 2 jobs doesn't hurt.. Look up temporary employment offices in your area. Go fill out applications with them ASAP. Shave & put on a pair of khakis & a polo shirt; it helps. Most people go in those places wearing gym shorts & a t shirt. Explain your situation that you're home for the summer & looking for a job. Most jobs they hire for are 30-60-90 day temporary assignments or jobs that are 90 day temp then hired perm with the company. Tell them you'd like a 90 day temporary assignment & you're willing to work any 8hr shift. Most temp jobs will be $8-10/hr. At $10/hr working 40hrs a week you'll bring home close to $4k after taxes in 90 days. Most factories that use temps will let you work overtime if you asked, that'll be time & a half. If you're willing to work over the summer to make money that's the way to go. Most students are lazy & want to lay around on their ass & party all summer like they're a 17yo child. Keeping the 2nd job you will be able to rake in some dough, but it'll take a lot of dedication. When I was in school I decided I'd rather work my summers instead of partying it away like my friends. It pays off when you go back loaded with cash & they are broke as a joke digging the change jar for gas/grocery money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Four Standings Played Points
1. Juventus 30 68
2. Napoli 30 59
3. AC Milan 30 57
4. Fiorentina 30 51
Last season's top four finish: 1. Juventus 84; 2. AC Milan 80; 3. Udinese 64; 4. Lazio 62
Remaining key fixtures: Juventus have already played their two games against Napoli, drawing the second match 1-1 away on March 1. Milan play all their nearest rivals in the next three matches as they visit Fiorentina on Sunday, host Napoli on April 14 and visit Juventus on April 21.
The hiring of coach of Antonio Conte, the opening of a sparkling new stadium and the signing of Andrea Pirlo at the start of last season have ushered in a new era for Juventus, finally allowing them to put the 2006 match-fixing scandal behind them.
The 28-times champions won Serie A unbeaten last season and have basically carried on where they left off this term.
The importance of the new arena cannot be underestimated.
Juventus used to play to sometimes sparse crowds at the vast but soulless Stadio delle Alpi and then shared the smaller, unatmospheric Stadio Olimpico with Torino.
The Juventus Stadium - built on the same site as the delle Alpi - has roughly half the capacity, a raucous atmosphere, is invariably full and creates an intimidating atmosphere with the crowd close to the pitch.
Juventus are the only club in Serie A to own their stadium, allowing them to generate extra income from non-football activities and putting them a step ahead of their rivals who generally play in dilapidated municipally-owned grounds.
Meanwhile, Conte, who led Siena out of Serie B before taking over at the club where he spent 13 years of his playing career, has been a revelation as a coach.
One of a new generation of Italian coaches who have shunned traditional catenaccio with something more positive, Conte's team play a modern high-tempo pressing game which their rivals have struggled to come to terms with.
His 3-5-2 formation has proved an unconditional success, giving Juventus both strength and varied options in attack.
The trio of Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci, backed by talismanic goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, have proved rock solid, conceding 19 goals in 30 games, 10 less than Napoli who have the second-best defensive record.
Deep-lying playmaker Pirlo has found a second wind at Juventus, producing some world class performances, while the versatile Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal has been almost as influential.
While Juventus cannot afford a world class striker, Conte's rotation policy of fielding any two from Fabio Quagliarella, Sebastian Giovinco, Mirko Vucinic and Alessandro Matri in attack has more than made up for that.
The goals have been evenly distributed with Quagliarella netting eight times and Giovinco, Vucinic and Matri seven each. The signing of fleet-footed teenager Paul Pogba from Manchester United this season has given Conte further options in midfield.
Second-placed Napoli have done exceptionally well but lack the strength-in-depth to finish the campaign on top and may be over dependent on the goals of striker Edinson Cavani, Serie A's leading scorer with 22 goals.
When the Uruguayan's goals briefly dried up in February, Napoli suffered a succession of draws and lost touch with Juventus.
AC Milan, champions in 2010/11, were always going to suffer after their firesale of top players in summer aimed at balancing the books.
They made a dreadful start and, despite recovering impressively following the sale of Alexandre Pato and the signing of Mario Balotelli, they appear to have left themselves too much to do.
Udinese were shattered by their Champions League playoff defeat by Braga and were never going to in contention after selling their top players for the second close season in a row.
