Terez Paylor mocks us a CB
1. Houston Texans: DE Jadeveon Clowney, 6-5, 266, South Carolina
If the Texans don�t force a quarterback here, they�ll take the best player on the board. That�s Clowney, one of the most talented defensive ends to enter the draft in a long time.
2. St. Louis Rams: LT Greg Robinson, 6-5, 332, Auburn
With Clowney off the board, Sammy Watkins, Khalil Mack and Greg Robinson are widely considered to be the elite prospects remaining. Watkins will be tempting � despite taking four receivers in the top four rounds since coach Jeff Fisher took over, they still don�t have a clear No. 1 � but the Rams just signed Kenny Britt, so they do have some flexibility here.
Left tackle Jake Long is rehabbing after tearing his ACL and MCL late last season, so Robinson � a mauler in the running game who flashes great potential in pass protection � offers insurance in the short-term. If Long is ready to go this season, Robinson could also step in and be a dominant left guard as he refines his technique in preparation for a future move to left tackle.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars: WR Sammy Watkins, 6-1, 211, Clemson
If the Jaguars aren�t in love with any of the top quarterbacks, they might just pick one in the second round and go with Watkins, an established playmaker with blazing speed who has all the tools needed to be a top-shelf receiver in the National Football League. He blows by cornerbacks, tracks the ball well and also has the ability to contribute as a returner.
4. Cleveland Browns: QB Blake Bortles, 6-5, 232, Central Florida
The Texans� and Jaguars� decisions to pass on a quarterback benefits the Browns, who now have their choice of the top three prospects at the position. Of the three, I have them going with Bortles, a late-riser who possesses prototypical size and plus intangibles. He also excels at running bootlegs and playaction, which will fit well in Kyle Shanahan�s version of the West Coast offense. Johnny Manziel or Teddy Bridgewater could also be options here.
5. Oakland Raiders: OLB Khalil Mack, 6-2, 251, Buffalo
The Raiders are trying to contend this year, and Mack is a plug-and-play type who will immediately help the defense with his versatility and ability to rush the passer. Mack can help out at defensive end, where LaMarr Woodley, Justin Tuck and Kevin Burnett are all 29 or older. He can also help out as a conventional outside linebacker in the Raiders� 4-3 scheme, though 2013 third-round pick Sio Moore flashed potential there, too. There are a lot of bodies up front for the Raiders but it�s hard to pass on a blue-chip talent like Mack.
6. Atlanta Falcons: OT Jake Matthews, 6-5, 308, Texas A&M
The Falcons have to do a better job protecting quarterback Matt Ryan � the guy was sacked a career-high 44 times last season. Rectifying this starts with fortifying the edges, where tackles Sam Baker and Lamar Holmes struggled mightily last season. There�s no doubt what Matthews can do; the guy is a plug-and-play tackle at either left tackle or right tackle, a rock-solid option with fantastic bloodlines (he�s the son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews).
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: WR Mike Evans, 6-5, 231, Texas A&M
With the recent trade of Mike Williams, the Bucs could easily scoop up a wide receiver here. New quarterback Josh McCown thrived in Chicago with two big receivers in Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, and the Bucs have a chance to recreate some of that magic by teaming up Evans � a massive receiver with strong ball skills �with another big, established playmaker in Vincent Jackson.
8. Minnesota Vikings: QB Johnny Manziel, 6-1, 207, Texas A&M
New offensive coordinator Norv Turner could use a long-term option at quarterback who is better than Matt Cassel, and there are no shortage of options still on the board. The Vikings could go with Bridgewater, Manziel or even David Carr, but Manziel has the arm strength and competiveness to make Turner�s vertical offense sing.
9. Buffalo Bills: TE Eric Ebron, 6-4, 250, North Carolina
The Bills could use a right tackle, so if Matthews falls here, he could be the pick. But after investing a first-round pick in quarterback E.J. Manuel last year, the Bills may give their young quarterback a weapon in the athletic Ebron, who is the draft�s best prospect at tight end.
10. Detroit Lions: OLB Anthony Barr, 6-4, 255, UCLA
The Lions wouldn�t mind taking Evans if he was still on the board, but Barr is a nice consolation prize. As a former fullback, he lacks polish and is still developing his football instincts, but his combination of size, speed, burst and collegiate production makes him an intriguing fit in Detroit�s attacking 4-3 defense. He�s a high-upside prospect worth taking a chance on.
11. Tennessee Titans: QB Teddy Bridgewater, 6-2, 214, Louisville
The Titans aren�t expected to pick up the option on Jake Locker�s contract, which means he�s essentially on a one-year audition in Tennessee. Enter Bridgewater, whose stock has fallen since a disappointing pro day but still has the pocket presence and smarts to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. There are some questions about his thin frame, but in this scenario, Bridgewater could sit for a year and develop behind Locker before taking over in 2015.
12. New York Giants: OT Taylor Lewan, 6-7, 309, Michigan
The Giants could use an upgrade at left tackle, so while the Giants rarely spend high picks on linemen, the chance to add a top-10 talent in Lewan � at a position of need, no less � could prove to be too tempting to pass up.
13. St. Louis Rams: CB Justin Gilbert, 6-0, 202, Oklahoma State
The Rams need help at safety, but their starters at the position last season � Rodney McLeod and T.J. McDonald � are only 23 years old. They should get better. So instead of safety, the Rams go with Gilbert, a player whose speed and ball skills potentially give coach Jeff Fisher and new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams another chess piece for their attacking defense.
14. Chicago Bears: DT Aaron Donald, 6-1, 285, Pittsburgh
Donald is small for a defensive lineman, but there�s no doubting his production, quickness or motor. This guy has checked all the boxes during the pre-draft period and is an ideal fit as a three-technique defensive tackle to replace Henry Melton, who bolted for Dallas this offseason.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers: CB Darqueze Dennard, 5-11, 199, Michigan State
Dennard is an aggressive, physical press-man corner who fits the profile of the type of player defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau likes at the position.
16. Dallas Cowboys: S Ha�Sean Clinton-Dix, 6-1, 218, Alabama
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones loves big names, and Clinton-Dix fits the bill, thanks to in large part to his amusing nickname (which is Ha Ha). But the Cowboys also need plenty of help at safety, and while Clinton-Dix isn�t elite in any area, he�s competent in several, which makes him a plug-and-player for Jones.
17. Baltimore Ravens: OT Zack Martin, 6-4, 308, Notre Dame
General manager Ozzie Newsome has an eye for talent and often leans toward taking the best player on the board. Fortunately for him, Martin is still out there. He�s smart and versatile and should be able to step right in at right tackle and contribute. As an added bonus, he also plays center and guard.
18. New York Jets: WR Odell Beckham Jr., 5-11, 198, Louisiana State
Brandin Cooks and Marqise Lee are also options here, but Beckham is bigger than Cooks and doesn�t have Lee�s injury woes. Beckham�s ability to stretch the field, play inside or outside and contribute on special teams makes him a potential contributor from day one.
19. Miami Dolphins: LB C.J. Mosley, 6-2, 234, Alabama
New Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey is reportedly a fan of taking the best player available, and Mosley � a smart three-down linebacker with excellent intangibles � fits the bill. He also fills a need at inside linebacker.
20. Arizona Cardinals: OLB Ryan Shazier, 6-1, 237, Ohio State
Shazier is a nice fit for the Cardinals, a run-and-hit outside linebacker who is coming off a strong junior season in which he finished as the Big Ten�s leading tackler. His size is a concern, but he covers a ton of ground (he ran a 4.4 40 during his pro day) and the Cardinals have the size up front to protect him.
21. Green Bay Packers: S Calvin Pryor, 5-11, 207, Louisville
The Packers get a break and select perhaps the most imposing hitter in the 2014 draft class. Pryor is a physical player who will fit right in next to Morgan Burnett in the Packers� secondary.
22. Philadelphia Eagles: WR Marqise Lee, 6-0, 192, Southern California
If anybody knows what Lee can do, it�s Philly coach Chip Kelly. He coached against him in 2011 and 2012, back when Kelly was at Oregon and Lee was ripping up Pac-12 defenses. Lee�s durability is a concern, but he is a natural playmaker with the speed and talent to stretch the field the way Kelly likes.
23. Chiefs: CB Bradley Roby, 5-11, 194, Ohio State`
At this range, the Chiefs might be tempted to look at Zack Martin, who can play guard, and big-play receivers like Marqise Lee and Brandin Cooks. But in Roby, they can also take a feisty, physical and fluid athlete who was inconsistent as a junior but was once regarded as a top-15 pick. He�s a tad shorter than the Chiefs general manager John Dorsey typically likes � just a tick under 6-feet tall � but he does have long arms and tends to play bigger than his size.
The Chiefs have already given big-time money to Sean Smith and Brandon Flowers, but for a team in the AFC West, the road to the Super Bowl leads through Denver and star quarterback Peyton Manning, and the Chiefs� two losses to the Broncos � not to mention their playoff loss to Indianapolis � showed you can never have enough cornerbacks.
Adding Roby to the mix, along with Marcus Cooper and Chris Owens, gives the Chiefs at least five playable cornerbacks. It also provides valuable insurance at the position in case the team decides to save money next year by cutting Smith or Flowers.
24. Cincinnati Bengals: DE Kony Ealy, 6-4, 273, Missouri
The Bengals could use a little more juice on their defensive line, especially after the free-agent departure of defensive end Michael Johnson. Ealy has the tools to be a good professional defensive end.
25. San Diego Chargers: NT Louis Nix III, 6-2, 331, Notre Dame
San Diego is reportedly comfortable with Sean Lissemore at nose tackle, but Nix is a massive space eater who fits the bill as a run-stuffer in the Chargers� 3-4 defense.
26. Cleveland Browns: CB Kyle Fuller, 6-0, 190, Virginia Tech
Fuller�s stock has been rising. He has a good football pedigree � two of his brothers have played in the NFL while his youngest brother now plays at Virginia Tech � and he has the talent to step right in next to star cornerback Joe Haden and solidify the position for years to come.
27. New Orleans Saints: OLB Dee Ford, 6-2, 252, Auburn
Ford is a pass rusher, though and through, and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan knows exactly how to use guys like that in his 3-4 defense.
28. Carolina Panthers: WR Brandin Cooks, 5-9, 189, Oregon State
After the team parted ways with Ted Ginn and Steve Smith, finding a target for star quarterback Cam Newton should be a priority. Cooks is a player whose strong pre-draft workouts are backed up by his junior year film, so he could very easily go before this point. If he lasts to No. 28, consider it a steal for the Panthers.
29. New England Patriots: DT Ra�Shede Hageman, 6-5, 318, Minnesota
The Patriots� starting defensive tackles are well over 30, and while a handful of young backups played well last year, none of them have the athleticm and talent of Hageman. He�s raw, but if anybody can help him reach his potential, it�s Bill Belichick.
30. San Francisco 49ers: CB Jason Verrett, 5-9, 189, Texas Christian
Verrett is small, so long-term durability is a concern. But the 49ers need quality depth at cornerback, and Verrett has the speed, aggressiveness and ball skills to contribute immediately as a nickel corner.
31. Denver Broncos: OLB Jeremiah Attoachu, 6-3, 252, Georgia Tech
Attoachu is a pass-rusher with a chance to develop into a long-term starter. Given Von Miller�s off-field troubles and DeMarcus Ware�s age (31), it certainly wouldn�t hurt to add a little edge-rushing insurance.
32. Seattle Seahawks: DT Stephon Tuitt, 6-5, 304, Notre Dame
The Seahawks lost some key members of their defensive line this offseason, but Tuitt can step right in and contribute immediately. He can anchor against the run and he also displayed pass-rushing production in college. If he�s over the injuries that slowed him down last year, he could be a steal.

Poor LB and FS help were more instrumental in those losses than deficiencies on outside coverage, IMO. Neither Lewis nor Jordan were very effective in providing help on passing downs. I'm trying to think back over the past season and I can't remember Jordan doing much of anything. I'm not sure how much Mays is going to help either in that regard.
That being said, we do need some additional help at the CB position, much in the same manner as we need it at the OLB or OT spots. Starters are fine, but there isn't anything behind them.
However, I'm not sold on spending a first round pick on what is going to amount to a backup for the foreseeable future (3 years or so). The holes at OG, MLB and WR are certainly more demanding of attention.
Are you more comfortable with Joe Mays than Kyle Van Noy?
Are you more comfortable with with Donnie Avery than Marquis Lee/Brandin Cooks/Odell Beckham?
Are you more comfortable with Roke Watkins/Jeff Allen than Gabe Jackson/Xavier S'ua-Filo?
Are you more comfortable with Sean Smith/Brandon Flowers than Bradley Roby?
As Milk has said a couple of times, it wasn't necessarily that our corners or Sutton failed us, it was FS that ultimately led to our demise. (And I'd contend that the other ILB spot manned by Jordan didn't help matters either.)
Now, we will have a healthy Sanders Commings along with the recent signing of Jerron McMillian to go with Husain Abdullah and Eric Berry. In Commings, McMillian and Berry, you've got three guys who run in the mid 4.4's with very good verticals. I think our safety corps will be much improved this next season.

Positions that shouldn't even be on te draft board for the 23 slot:
All of those positions are either extremely deep, where a player of similar ability can be had later in the draft (CB, OT) or are a position not worth of that high of a pick.
Taking Roby in what could be the best corner class in the last 20 years would be a massive waste of a valuable resource.

Also, this is one of the poorest written pieces to make it past editors in quite some time.
"Though and through" ? Really?
The Chiefs could go Marquise Lee here (even though Lee goes to the Eagles before our pick)
I don't want to list the rest of the crap

The thing about taking a guy like Ealy is that he improves your run and pass defense simultaneously. Corners can't really do that.

I'd love it if we draft Ealy at 23.

Offensive line is pretty much the only position I'd be upset if we drafted at 23.

I'm not a fan of Roby and I've seen a lot of him. Not bad talent, but a pea brain. And for as much as I hear about how fast he is, he never seemed to play very fast. I'd be really worried about a guy like that who constantly got beat against the kind of garbage schedule OSU had last year.
Drafting a corner isn't a bad idea. But not high at all on Roby.

Maybe Benjamin
While this is a deep receiver class, I don't see any of the other guys even close to this group.

It would make more sense to go defense IMO. I'm not putting my entire faith in a ****ing 5th rd safety to be the messiah. Especially when our CB's can't keep up with speedy WR's, or even WR's that aren't speedsters.

Charter schools are schools established by private groups using tax money.
The purpose is to allow flexibility and freedom from some of the regulation that stifles creativity in the public school and leads to greater achievement.
I will say up front that if there is ever clear evidence that charter schools (or any other method) can be more successful that our current system, I will be 100% in favor of it.
There are success stories in the charter movement.
To name one, K.I.P.P. Academies have done very strong work, especially in areas where there is a severe history of failing public schools.
If these could be replicated within the current funding system everywhere, that would be great, and there are other models that have had some successes.
With several groups and elected leaders pushing for a charter bill in the upcoming legislative session, I'd like to take the time to point out some issues that I think we should consider.
1. If the regulations the state requires of public schools are not necessary for charter schools, why not eliminate them entirely?
It seems that every session of the legislature leads to additional, not less, regulation of everything that we do.
Most often, the regulations occur as a result of something bad that happened somewhere in the state.
In my opinion, the cure is more costly than the problem cured in many cases.
For example, BCPS has not had any major problems with restrain and seclusion of our students (a technique most often used with students with emotional-behavioral disorders).
However, every single teacher, administrator, and staff member in our district and throughout Kentucky had to undergo four hours of training this summer on how to do it properly because of a regulation.
I think we can agree that time is money, so let's say that Kentucky's 51,000 teachers and administrators each earn about $35 per hour on average.
Statewide, that four hour training cost over $7 million.
Was it good training?
Were the teachers and administrators working and being paid anyway?
But, was this the best use of their time/money in our mission to increase student learning and opportunities?
I don't think so.
This is but one example.
Would charter schools have to undergo this training?
If not, why not?
If so, there is just a little less of the flexibility that is supposed to make charters more effective and that is just the latest example.
There is training required for bullying prevention, suicide prevention, blood borne pathogens, school safety plans and the list goes on and on. Some of this is necessary and all of them are important to somebody, but some of it is simply to protect against lawsuits and show we are doing something about an issue.
Is it any wonder why teachers sometimes claim they don't have time to actually teach?
2.Site-based decision making councils govern our schools and have since about 1991.
These councils were part of KERA; their purpose was to decentralize decision making authority away from the district and encourage experimentation and innovation.
Councils have wide authority to make changes to how content is taught, how and where students are assigned and how they spend the school's budget.
Parents make up two of the six positions, teachers make up three and it is rounded out by the principal.
Aside from complying with the above-mentioned regulations and laws governing school operations, there is a lot of room to innovate if a school chooses to do so (and many do).
I'm not sure what charter schools would do different.
3. Charter schools are supposed to be more accountable to parents and to the chartering organization for performance and, if they don't perform, they can be shut down.
What kind of bureaucracy will have to be set up (and at what cost) to monitor, inspect, and hold these schools accountable?
How long do they have to improve?
By what criteria will they be measured?
How will their finances be monitored?
As a taxpayer, if public money is used, I would expect the same transparency and adherence to generally accepted accounting principles as any government agency.
If a school is shut down, what kind of disruption will befall those kids and where will they go to school?
How many chances will there be to improve?
Would we be simply creating a parallel system with twice the administrative costs?
4. Will charter schools be a way to sort and select students so that a certain segment of society can distance itself from another segment they may deem less "desirable."
Our society is based on the inculcation of certain shared civic values and many of them are transmitted through our public schools.
To name a few: hard work, honesty, self-reliance, teamwork, patriotism, and appropriate behavior.
Do we want special interest charters popping up that push certain ideologies or world-views with which we, as a society, may not agree and do so using our tax money?
I'm not sure how it is in every school district in the state, but in Bullitt County Public Schools, we are pretty uniform in the values we transmit and those values are reflective of our local community (and, by the way, they are good ones).
Do we want to segregate our students from less affluent and educated families - who may not have parents who advocate for their education - into schools for the "left-overs'" while those of us who are involved take care of our own?
If so, how will that play out over the next 50 years?
Society is disintegrated enough with technology, television channels, and communication options allowing everyone to create their own reality when they are grown-ups.
I fear that by never exposing our kids to others from somewhat different backgrounds, they will lose some of their ability to work together for the good of the community that they will very soon be leading.
I grew up without a great deal of financial opportunity (though I think I was provided pretty solid values and work ethic).
I wonder if all the kids who became my friends -many of whose parents were better off financially - would have become my friends (and examples of how life could be better) had they been put in a school that -- one way or the other -- excluded kids from the wrong side of the tracks.
In closing, I believe there is much to learn from charter schools, especially how they can individualize instruction using technology and group students in ways that are not necessarily based on chronological age.
Rather than jump into a grand experiment with our kids as the subjects, I think our legislators might better spend their limited resources forming a commission or group to study successful practices and spread them to our existing schools, and even more importantly, figure out which regulations, laws, and policies are standing in the way of our school districts and teachers and get rid of them for everyone.
That would be a more difficult and courageous stand because behind every regulation, there is an interested party and some of these parties are politically powerful.
By taking a hard-eyed look at the cost and benefit of such regulations, they may find that the cure is sometimes worse and more costly than the problems the cure was designed to address.

[Hey, You!] He Really Smoked That Ball
Wife and I get a sitter to watch our child on a Saturday so we can play some golf. It's a gorgeous day. We get paired up with you and some gob-a-goo, both of you visiting from New Jersey. The gob-a-goo is a nice enough fellow, but I see you smoking a cigarette before hitting off the first tee, and then you proceed to light up at every tee box afterward. Nothing like taking a backswing and inhaling your putrid smoke, which you feel is your right to share with others. What a piece of crap you are! Can't wait for you to be enclosed in an oxygen tank in the hospital, with a tube hanging out of your throat, you inconsiderate scumbag—and by the sound of your hacking cough and wheezing, it's just around the corner. Thanks for ruining our day, but justice will be served when you go back to your inbreeding clan of mutants in Jersey to die a slow, agonizing death. You have no right to breathe our air, you pathetic loser!

Honus Hour
"The Card" is a baseball card. From 1909. It features Pittsburgh Pirate shortstop Honus Wagner. The card is valuable because not many of them exist. There are two accepted reasons for this: "The Card" was part of a cigarette package, and Wagner didn't want his name attached to cigarettes; or, Wagner was a greedy bastard who wanted more money. Either way, Wagner demanded that the tobacco company remove his card from the packaging.
The most famous owner of "The Card" is Wayne Gretzky, who co-purchased it in 1991 for $451,000. It was last sold earlier this year for a price of $2.35 million.
There's just one problem with this baseball card: no one is quite sure that it's the real thing.
The Card: Collectors, Con Men, and the True Story of History's Most Desired Baseball Card, by Michael O'Keefe and Teri Thompson, is the story of this card, known as the T206 Honus Wagner PSA 8 NM-MT. O'Keefe and Thompson make it a mission to track down the history of the card, from its creation in 1909, through to its discovery in a box in the mid-1980s, through the various big dollar sales. And the picture painted of this card isn't a pretty one. Well, it's not that the card's not pretty. It's almost that it's too pretty. Too perfect.

To learn about the card, O'Keefe and Thompson get into the card collection hobby/industry. And what they find is an incestuous world where the same people sell and re-sell the same cards, time and time again. Where the people responsible for authenticating the cards are also owners of the cards. A picture is painted of fraud after fraud. They tell you how the cards are restored and altered. Where the whistleblowers are sued and degraded.
And the problem's not just with cards. It exists in all areas of the sports memorabilia market. The book goes into the purchase by Billy Crystal of a glove supposedly worn by Mickey Mantle, only it's later proven that the glove was from 1960, but from 1966.
As someone who's purchased some autographed baseballs, The Card is a bit of an eye opener. There are two of the baseballs that I own of which I can be confident are authentic, and that's because I witnessed the signing of the balls. But in the world of The Card it's possible for everything else to be fake.
The book, though informative, and a quick read, is disappointing. It provides nothing more than a superficial look at "The Card," and at the industry behind it. It's like a piece found in USA Today, which, though interesting and informative, really leaves you longing for a piece in The New Yorker, something more in-depth and detailed.
The Card could've have been a top of the line, the perfect book about the fraud and industry behind baseball cards and memorabilia. Instead, it's just like one of the many remaining versions of the Wagner card. It's dirty, smudged. The corners are a bit bent; the colors are a bit faded. It's still valuable, but it's definitely not worth as much as it should be.
If you want to know about the industry, or about "The Card," then by all means, read the book, but wait until it hits paperback so that maybe the price won't hurt as much. – John Royal

Yesterday, we reported on a new antitrust investigation targeting Silicon Valley tech companies regarding possible agreements to not hire away each other's talent. Now, the San Jose Mercury News is reporting that a former Google recruiter is fessing up to having a 'Do Not Touch' list of companies they were not to go after for talent. Two companies on the list? Genentech and Yahoo!
Yahoo!, on the other hand, has no such list according to a former recruiter for the company. Instead, recruiters were rewarded for wooing talent from competitors.
Simply having a list would not be automatically indicative of anticompetitive hiring practices. It could simply be an initiative by a company to prevent upsetting business partners. A 'Do Not Touch' list would be in violation of antitrust law if it were agreed to by companies. It's the collaboration where the offense occurs.
Officially, the companies being investigated and the Department of Justice remain largely mum on the issue, at most confirming that an investigation is, in fact, happening.

In an easy to use, convenient, marker-tipped pen, blinc's liquid eyeliner can be applied with precision. It glides on smoothly and the ultra fine tip provides for extreme accuracy, allowing you to create virtually any look you desire, from a thin classic line, to dramatic, winged looks.
blinc eyeliner is ideal for those with sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers, performers and active people in search of eyeliner whose look, hold and ease of removal is without compromise. Whether your daily activities take you from the office, to your workout and then out to dinner, blinc eyeliner will look as good in the evening as it did when you first applied it in the morning.
blinc eyeliner does not penetrate your skin, leave any tint or residue behind or require harsh makeup removers. This makes blinc healthier for your surrounding eye area, since there is no need to rub the part of your face that is most susceptible to wrinkling. blinc eyeliner delivers the best of both worlds...the hold that you have always wanted and the ease-of-removal that you have always wished for.

No doubt about it: Regardless of the time of year, we remain in a state of exhaustion. Look at some of your most promising employees: Do you remember a time when they were on fire, when they had fantastic ideas, contributed at staff meetings, and regularly went above and beyond the call of duty? And do they now simply appear to be going through the motions?
If you're a business leader scratching your head for ideas, there's good news. In this slideshow, Brady Wilson, author of "Beyond Engagement: A Brain-Based Approach That Blends the Engagement Managers Want with the Energy Employees Need," has identified five simple ways to reinvigorate employees — solutions that not only take up little time, but will energize the brain and body, leading to a higher-performing workforce.

Critic Reviews for The Escape Artist
All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
...the movie's pervasive lack of drama or tension results in a palpably flat atmosphere that proves disastrous...
The Escape Artist is a riveting film about a son trying to prove himself to his father.
...a unique coming-of-age tale, one that may star a youngster but isn't necessarily a kids-only affair.
Audience Reviews for The Escape Artist
on amazing great fucking movie and all time classic, a film u watch as a kid and never forgot, great ensemble cast, i tear up when i see this film makes me feel young again. man I miss raul julia, and griffin oneal, one joan hackett greatest films before she passed away a year later.
(***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] An odd and confusing film (at times), but I enjoyed watching it anyway. Good cast of characters.
An interesting movie about a young magician, and it has a good cast, but it gets real confusing at times. Good, but it could be better.

He was also reappointed to the board of the 102-unit chain. Petitti succeeds Gerald E. Barber as an officer and a board member. Barber resigned for personal reasons. It was unclear whether Petitti was brought in in a bid to bolster the company's financial performance. For the year ended Jan. 29, sales ...

Do you have anything PINK within 10 feet of you?
I asked this one on my bb and got some great answers! LOL
I have some pink paper, pink on a little journal that has a cow on it, and some pink on a Cabbage Patch Kids doll box that's waiting to be thrown out.

"The season five premiere of Duck Dynasty aired this past week and posted its first season-to-season drop in ratings: among adults 18-49, the show was down 33%. The two back-to-back episodes marked the first appearance of the Robertson family since Phil the patriarch's less than politically correct, unfiltered, unconsciously hateful comments about gay men and blacks in GQ. While still huge numbers for cable, the drop is "newsworthy". But I'm interested in the visceral reaction to this negative statistic. Are you happy? Indifferent? Perplexed?..."
We now know that the Denver Broncos will meet the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII. According to a recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institute, nearly half of Americans polled see some supernatural forces affecting the outcome of sports events. So does God pick a winner Who knows, say Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, President of Clal and Co-founder and Executive Editor of TheWisdomDaily.com, but there are elements of the sacred in and around the Super Bowl.
In the earliest version of the Five Books of Moses we discover that Abraham may actually have sacrificed Isaac, or that Jacob may have had only seven sons instead of twelve. Without these tools, there would be no way for us to know that the Israelites' sojourn in Egypt lasted only a few generations, not 430 years, and that when they escaped from Egypt, they numbered just 3,000, not 3,000,000.
"Can "true religion" be a basis for hatred or division among people? Based on the historical record, it seems clear that the answer is, yes.
"I've done everything "right": given my children Jewish education, sent them to Jewish camps, spent time with them in Israel and modeled engaged Jewish living. But with the celebration of my second child becoming a bat mitzvah and officially beginning her journey as a Jewish adult, I can now say with certainty that my children will not be Jews like me…."
According to Clal Resident Tzemah Yoreh, Ph.D., in the earliest version of Isaac's story, Isaac has a very short life. He is killed for his father's sins in Genesis 22 and is only resurrected by later authors. The newly animated Isaac leads a long and interesting life remarkably like his father's. Isaac's Death and Resurrection traces the development of the Isaac story from its divergent beginnings into the canonical text of Genesis. This book is one in the most recent series of Modern Scripture publications.
Too often, the discussion around religion and science produces a lot of heat, but very little light. Sinai and Synapses will be working to change that. This is another in a series of conversations with some of the most interesting and dynamic thought leaders — from both the religious and scientific worlds.
Clal Resident Rabbi Owen Gottlieb's publication, "You Can't Wrap Herring in an iPad: Digitization of Sacred Jewish Books, the Stripping of Embodied Ritual, and Implications for Jewish Education" is one of the Berman Jewish Policy Archives 21 most often viewed articles in 2013.

Early Childhood
Following last week's message on Finishing Well, Ben Cachiaras swung back to an earlier life stage as he taught about "Early Childhood," and how Christian adults should nurture the children in their lives (as parents, or in extended family, or any relationships of influence). YouVersion-Bible.com notes for Ben's Bible citations from Deuteronomy 6 and more…

Finishing Well
I was away at Livi and Tyler's graduation from Cincinnati Christian University, but I participated in the MCC's weekend services through the live-stream beta test #YayGodviatech. In a providential counterpoint to college graduates receiving their bachelor's degrees, Ben Cachiaras continued MCC's series "It's Just a Phase, so Don't Miss It!" by speaking on "Finishing Well." Check YouVersion-Bible.com notes for individual or group study, AND the Tweets for other quotable highlights from his message…

Nathan McDade began MCC's new weekeend message series "It's Just a Phase" with a Mothers' Day themed message, based on Romans 16:13. He talked about how all of us can be "like a mother" to people, without "mothering" (smothering?) them. Here are the YouVersion-Bible.com Event notes.

Racial Gaps (in retail and in churches)
Three articles that address the topic of gaps with racial overtones. While I might not agree with each specific in Dr Russell Moore's NY Times op-ed "A White Church No More," he does wrestle with the need for those American congregations which are predominantly white Evangelicals to consider their words and deeds in this contentious socio-political year. As a frequent (and mostly content) Amazon Prime user, I followed the launch of their Prime Same Day Service. My outsider guess is that Jeff Bezos and Amazon's leadership is not racist, but they are capitalist … and Amazon's Prime Same Day focused on the neighborhoods that were most profitable, as this Bloomberg article mentions. This Business Insider article from two years ago, "These Maps Show that Android Is For People With Less Money" (though the URL is more provactively labeled Android-Is-For-Poor-People) could show the same kind of racial/poverty divide which the Congessional Black Caucus is directing at Amazon – hmmmm?
One of my ongoing challenges in my MCC role which is very focused on tech is remembering that tech ownership and use is not uniform across racial or generational or socio-economic clusters. The Church is called to serve all, across the gaps.

Bob Goff at MCC
Bob Goff, author of the best-seller Love Does on which this recent message series is based, spoke at MCC this weekend. Though he didn't sport a NY Yankees hat as he did in a promo picture (he told me that he's not a Yankees fan, a publicist put it on his head for the photo shoot!) he was even more hi-energy in person than in written word.

I'm grateful to Kelly Carr and the team at The Lookout magazine (from Christian Standard Media) for publishing "A Mission Next Door" — seeing the (American) suburbs as your mission field.

Empowered by the Metro
Thank you to Marty Wilson, Keith Canton and the Metro Christian Convention (NYC) folks for inviting me to share a workshop on "Social Media – Are We Building Up or Tearing Down?" The Holy Spirit empowers us to connect with believers and non-believers through social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc.. The dozen or so attenders and I learned from Jesus, Paul, and Peter about ways our online interactions can "make the most of every opportunity… full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone" (Colossians 4:5-6)
Here are my rough draft notes for the session.
My friend and senior pastor Ben Cachiaras was the featured speaker for the two main sessions "Power is unleashed through BOLD prayer" from Ephesians 3:20-21 and Ephesians 4:6-11 — definitely more congregation-interactive than past speakers🙂

In schizophrenia spectrum disorders and major depression, Bentall et alArticle found that paranoid delusions are related to distinct clusters of cognitive (theory of mind, probabilistic reasoning, and executive functioning) deficits and emotional biases. These mechanisms may be suitable targets for future therapeutic and neurobiological studies of psychosis.
Cook et alArticle examined the prevalence, correlates, and likelihood of treatment for psychiatric and substance use disorders among single mothers randomly sampled during their final 24 months of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. In this cohort of low-income mothers, the 12-month prevalence of mental health and addictive disorders was more than twice as high as the general US population, yet more than three-quarters remained untreated.
There has been extensive research on the comorbidity between alcohol abuse or dependence (AAD) and major depression (MD), though the causal nature of this association remains unclear. The results of a study by Fergusson et alArticle suggest that the associations between AAD and MD were best explained by a causal model in which the problems with alcohol led to increased risk of MD, as opposed to a self-medication model in which MD led to increased risks of AAD.
Farrer et alArticle conducted a comprehensive association study of cocaine dependence and cocaine-induced paranoia with the α-endomannosidase gene (MANEA) in 2 European American and 2 African American drug dependence cohorts. They found association with several MANEA variants, including 1 variant in the 3′ untranslated region that was associated with cocaine-induced paranoia in all 4 cohorts.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety disorder, or no psychopathology, Beesdo et alArticle found differences in amygdala activation as a function of diagnosis, face-emotion, and attention condition. Patients with anxiety disorder and MDD differed in amygdala responses from healthy participants and from each other during passive viewing of fearful faces. Both patients with MDD and anxiety disorder exhibited amygdala hyperactivation during fear ratings to fearful faces.
Birmaher et alArticle compared the Axis I disorders of 388 offspring (aged 6-18 years) of 233 parents with bipolar disorder (BP) and 251 offspring of 143 demographically matched control parents. After adjusting for confounding factors, offspring of parents with BP showed a 14-fold increase in the rates of BP spectrum disorders and approximately a 2- to 3-fold increase in any mood and anxiety disorders. Most BP episodes of offspring were BP not otherwise specified and started before age 12 years.
Results are reported by van't Veer-Tazelaar et alArticle of a randomized controlled trial of stepped-care prevention of anxiety and depression in late life vs care as usual for elderly individuals with subthreshold manifestations of the pertinent disorders. The intervention halved the 12-month incidence of depressive/anxiety disorders.
Wilcox et alArticle examined the association between exposure to traumatic events with and without posttraumatic stress disorder on risk of subsequent suicide attempt in a community sample of approximately 1700 urban young adults. Posttraumatic stress disorder was associated with an increased risk for subsequent suicide attempt, even after adjustment for prior major depressive episode and alcohol and drug use disorders.
Wolfs et alArticle report on an economic evaluation of a multidisciplinary integrated approach to the diagnosis and management of dementia (Diagnostic Observation Centre for PsychoGeriatric Patients [DOC-PG]) alongside a randomized controlled trial. DOC-PG was compared with usual care using quality-adjusted life-years as the main outcome measure. Based on the main cost per quality-adjusted life-year analysis, DOC-PG is a cost-effective facility for the diagnosis and management of dementia in ambulant patients.
Kumar et alArticle used magnetization transfer, a magnetic resonance imaging–related technique, to examine several regions of the brain in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with major depression, patients with diabetes without depression, and healthy controls. Magnetization transfer ratios, indicative of damage to the macromolecular protein pool, were significantly lower in the head of the caudate nucleus in the depressed diabetic group when compared with the other 2 groups.

Algeria says it has stopped negotiating with the Chad rebel group MDJT. The Algerians were trying to come to terms to obtain Algerian Islamic radicals the MDJT were holding. The talks apparently broke down over how much money the MDJT wanted. The Chad government was also protesting the negotiations. The MDJT are a small, tribe based group that opposes the current Chad national leadership.

The Day After Madden
The Day After Madden
Aug 09, 2005 2:58AM PST
Well, Madden is upon again and the Maddness begins. Let me tell you something people, I have never seen a game with more mind-controling power as Madden, it's like crack! People were lined up at 9:00PM just waiting for us to open up at 12:01am, we had well over 100 people in line wanting a STUPID FOOTBALL GAME (yeah,I said it), we got all the paid-in-fulls out the way first, then we got the dingbats who still had alittle ways to go before they could get there hands on the presious (I know thats spelled wrong but I'm half-woke and venting). So after all that we still had to deal with the dumbasses who just had to come in and show everybody just how stupid there were, calling on the phone to see if we where open, swearing up and down they paid there reserve in full, trying to trade in there old bulls#!* games, or bringing in there GIRLFRIENDS to pay off there reserves for them L.O.L. It's kinda pathetic realy, grown-ass men standing in line and looking stupid for a F#@$IN FOOTBALL GAME!!!!

TWEET: Eric LeGrand Odd Tweet About The MTV VMA's
BY: John Mamola
In case you missed it, and you probably did, but the MTV Video Music Awards were last night and the social media platforms were buzzing. Everything from who won awards to the performances themselves, everyone had an opinion about what was going on in southern California.
Including honorary Tampa Bay Buccaneer Eric LeGrand who tweeted the following following Beyonce' performance last night.
Beyoncé got everyone like this when she performs Drunk in Love pic.twitter.com/9Zbck535Jd— Eric LeGrand (@EricLeGrand52) August 25, 2014
Now at first glace this tweet means nothing, however this photo is of the instant moment when LeGrand was paralyzed making a special teams tackle in a game against Army in 2010.
Odd? Yes, but maybe this is LeGrand's way of having fun with unfortunate history.
Tom Jones was born and raised in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and studied English at the University of South Florida from 1982 to 1986.
He began his writing career with the St. Petersburg Evening Independent in 1985. He then went on to work for the St. Petersburg Times from 1987 to 1991, the Tampa Tribune from 1991 to 1996, the St. Petersburg Times again from 1996 to 2000 and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune from 2000 to 2003. He then rejoined the St. Petersburg Times for a third time in his career in 2003, where he worked ever since.

He also spent two years on the Tampa Bay Rays beat. He then become a columnist at Times starting in 2007.

Over the course of his career, Jones has covered the Olympics, the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Stanley Cup finals, baseball and hockey all-star games, the NCAA basketball tournament and the Frozen Four.
Jones lives in St. Petersburg with his wife, Patty, and sons, Sam and Andy.
With over two decades of reporting on professional and collegiate sports for the Tampa Bay Times, through performance and work experience in journalism and broadcasting in television and radio, Rick Stroud has cultivated an impressive list of sources and utilized his knowledge to produce an outstanding body of work in both print and electronic mediums.
During his career, Stroud has reported on national sporting events including 22 Super Bowls, the NCAA Final Four, and the Major League Baseball Playoffs. While working as the beat writer assigned to the University of Florida at the Times, Stroud's stories documented NCAA rules violations by the football and basketball programs. The stories for which Stroud won second place for Best Investigative Reporting from the Associated Press Sports Editors, led to sanctions against both Gators programs.
Since 2004, Stroud has appeared as an NFL Insider for ESPN2's First Take and is a regular contributor to ESPN's SportsCenter, NFL Live, Outside the Lines and Herd with Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio. He also contributes to NFL Network's Total Access.
Stroud becan covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the National Football League in 1990. Since then, the Bucs have undergone seven coaching changes, the death of owner Hugh Culverhouse and the sale of the franchise to billionaire owner Malcolm Glazer and a stadium referendum. They also celebrated a Super Bowl XXVII victory. His reporting was referenced in Tony Dungy's best seller, Quiet Strength, particularly because it was Stroud who informed Dungy of the Bucs' plan to replace him with Giants Super Bowl coach Bill Parcells.
A former Div. I-A baseball player at Arkansas , Stroud brings a unique perspective to sports reporting. During the NFL lockout in 2011, he also served as one of the Times' beat writers responsible for covering the Tampa Bay Rays.
