Iran Brags It's Cracking U.S. Spy Drone, Sen. Lieberman Calls Claim "Bluster"

RQ-170 Sentinel
Middle Eastern power hopes to use capture U.S. stealth drone to further its own UAV ambitions
It remains one of the highest profile embarrassments of the U.S. Armed Forces and Intelligence community in recent years: the
loss of the RQ-170 spy drone
to the Iranian army.
I. Iran Claims to Have Cracked Drone's Encrypted Data Files
While the U.S. still claims that it was a technical malfunction that downed the drone, many defense experts were swayed by Iran's
detailed explanation
of how it jammed U.S. control signals and duped the drone into think it was performing a landing in a similar altitude home base.
The daring kidnapping sent the U.S. backpedalling after initially claiming the incident
could be a hoax
. The Iranian black op drew criticism from U.S. President Obama, who
demanded the drone back
. Iran agreed to return
a drone
, but then
mockingly offered to give the POTUS a pink toy drone
, versus the captured flyer.
Now Iran is vocalizing once more, claiming it's cracking into the flyer's encrypted software.
States Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division on state-run television (as
reported by
The Defense News
), "I am giving you four codes so the Americans understand just how far we have gone in penetrating the drone's secrets. In October 2010, the aircraft was sent to California for some technical issues, where it was repaired and, after flight tests, it was taken to Kandahar (in Afghanistan) in November 2010, when a series of technical problems still prevailed. In December 2010, it was sent to an airport near Los Angeles for repair of its equipment and sensors, and flight tests. The drone was then sent back to Kandahar."
Iran has refused President Obama's demands that it return the drone.

The comments indicate that the Iranians may have gained access to the flyer's encrypted flight logs. While that wouldn't necessarily be as damaging as if they gained access to the core control logic, it raises the question of how many secrets they'll be able to extract from the captured U.S. air-bot.

II. Senior Senator Lieberman Blows Off Claims
Iran's claims have been
countered by Leon Panetta
, although he has not formally denied that Iran cracked the flyer's logs.
U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman
(I-Conn.), head of the
Senate Homeland Security Committee
, was also quick to mock the comments as "Iranian bluster", remarking, "There is some history here of Iranian bluster, particularly now when they're on the defensive because of our economic sanctions against them."

The loss of the drone is a sore subject, particularly amid Iran's claims that it will produce copies of the drone. Gen. Hajizadeh brags, "This aircraft is a national treasure for us, and I cannot divulge [more details] about it. [But we will] started producing a copy of the RQ-170 drone."
Iran has been
working on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
for several years now, according to U.S. intelligence.
The edge the captured design could give it is a big headache to the U.S. as reportedly the stealth technology in the drone -- which was captured on a special
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
mission -- is similar to that used in American stealth fighters and bombers. Amid Iran's
suspected nuclear ambitions
, there's much concern about how far the nation could get technologically.
The Middle Eastern giant may be relatively hostile to the west, but it's also a fast developing technology power. While it's struggled with economic challenges in recent years, it produces over a million cars a year -- the most of any Middle Eastern nation. Aside from being the region's manufacturing capital, Iran also publishes more peer-reviewed research yearly than any other nation in the Middle East. In short, Iran may be a hostile power and be a bit behind the U.S. on the tech curve, but they're by no means clueless.

It should be interesting to see who's right -- Gen. Hajizadeh or Sen. Lieberman.

Legend has it...
…that in the 17th century a valiant pirate turned knight was rewarded by his king with a prestigious estate that extended from the mountains just outside of Palma to the other side of the island on Mallorca's North Coast. The knight, Don Francisco de Net, searched for the finest location within his estate upon which to build his family mansion. He chose a site on the crest of a hill overlooking the tranquil village of Puigpunyent. The village located in a hidden valley surrounded by majestic mountains thrived while serving the large Net estate.
Three centuries later, the old family mansion has been restored and became the Gran Hotel Son Net. The estate has been restored to its original splendor, maintaining many of its original 17th Century features. During its refurbishment, great care was taken to maintain the character of the building, preserving its natural stone flagged floors and ancient wooden beams. These rustic features combine with the classic elegance of its interior design throughout the public areas and guestrooms. Discover a unique hotel with a remarkable history.

Slid on a wet bathroom floor on holiday, 10 days ago....landed full on my left knee. Did the usual ice and elevate etc, not much swelling, but very painful if I have any contact with my knee cap! Pain over the middle of the knee cap when I touch it, although can't see any bruising.
So...is it possible to damage patella and still be able to fully function, or if I had cracked or chipped it would I be hobbling? I have no pain on walking or running, just the slightest contact is very painful....son brushed against me earlier at swimming pool and I nearly leapt out!
Anyone had anything similar... is it just continue to ice?

An explosion went off today only 100 yards from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's motorcade. He was not injured in the blast.
According to Ahmadinejad, "Stupid Zionists have hired mercenaries to assassinate me."
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was on his way to give a speech in Hamedan, south of the Iranian capital, when the explosion near his motorcade took place. He later gave the speech and was obviously not harmed.

With Ireland's pack crumbling in the tight and at set pieces - their scrum was particularly woeful - Frank Hadden's side were in full control until the visitors burst into life early in the second half.
Isaac Boss started the revival, Andrew Trimble added a second try and the boot of Paddy Wallace made further inroads into the deficit before man of the match Henderson killed off the game with the decisive try seven minutes from time.
Hadden had selected a near full-strength side in the hope of building winning momentum heading into the World Cup and was rewarded with an enthusiastic display led by the pack.
The experiment of installing Chris Paterson at fly-half was undermined by the wet conditions but the Gloucester back looked at ease and warrants perseverance in the position.
For Ireland boss Eddie O'Sullivan the match was a last chance to see a handful of players in action before finalising his 30-man World Cup squad, which will be unveiled tomorrow morning.
But the soul searching will probably continue long into the night as today's lacklustre display will have provided few extra clues on which of the tight calls deserve a ticket to France.
Munster winger Brian Carney, who converted from rugby league less than six months ago, probably just edged Ulster rival Tommy Bowe in the shoot-out for the last available back three spot.
Carney's greater appetite for work may count in his favour but in the back row, where the competition for places is at its fiercest, O'Sullivan will be none the wiser.

Ellie Porteous could never be described as work-shy.
Giving birth to her fourth child on Good Friday meant getting "extended" maternity leave before coming back into the office the following Thursday to prepare year-end accounts for the business she runs with husband Grant.
The pair are major shareholders and day-to-day managers at Deacon Holdings, the company behind the master franchise for New Zealand's largest homebuilder, G.J. Gardner.
Porteous, a qualified chartered accountant, never intended to work alongside her husband.
She'd spent more than 15 years in the corporate world, originally with Armourguard and then Forestry Corporation, which morphed into Fletcher Challenge Forests, working in roles that combined accounting with systems management.
After being made redundant from Fletcher while on maternity leave with daughter number three, she began helping out at Deacon Holdings.
"Then when [Grant's] accountant left two days before Christmas and I was about seven months pregnant, he asked me to come in and fill in for him for a while."
That was 8 years ago and since then her focus has moved from the accounting side to solving problems within the business.
"I just like to understand how things fit together. I'm a fairly logical person; I like to think I am. I like to be learning all the time, I like to find new things so for me accounting is such a small part of my job now."
Porteous is one of a team of four, including her husband, who provide mentoring for the 27 franchisees throughout the country. She looks after those who either gravitate to her straight-shooting style or need help managing their financial systems.
"I enjoy actually working with franchisees in their businesses and actually helping them. Sometimes it's easy on the outside looking in to just throw up possibilities," she says. "I don't think business is actually that complicated. People tend to make it really complicated."
A franchisee who was struggling five years ago, for example, was told to sell another business that was becoming a distraction, sell his own home to pay creditors, tidy up his premises and lift his professional standards. "And within about 18 months he actually became one of our best businesses."
She admits her approach is direct and to the point, whether it's providing feedback or making staff redundant.
"It becomes black and white with me. It's a business decision, it's not personal, and it is just a business decision. It needs to be done so you just do it."
The building business has had a tough few years and Porteous says their goal through the global financial crisis was for franchisees to survive.
"We actually came through relatively unscathed.
"We had one or two terminations in that time," says Porteous, but adds: "If they had done things differently they could have actually still had good profitable businesses."
Porteous says the firm is just beginning to rebuild homes in Christchurch but won't chase more work than it can handle without compromising quality.
"We think it's actually important with what Christchurch has been through. [For] a lot of the people it's not their choice to build and it can be a fairly stressful process so we actually want to do it well first time."
With economic optimism lifting, the goal is now to have all franchises building at full capacity again.
On the personal front, Porteous says she needs the challenge and mental stimulation of working, and would like to provide a good example for her four daughters.
"My children, they don't know any different. For them, women work and that's great."

A V8 car parked outside a Hastings tyre outlet with its keys tucked into the sun visor was stolen but the owner only found out a day later because the service centre thought he had gone off with it.
Jeremy Thorburn's black V8 1996 Holden Commodore Club Sport, was taken from Motordrome Tyre & Auto Services in Hastings between 3pm and 5pm on Wednesday last week, but he did not find out it was missing until the following day.
The car was later used to steal $90 worth of petrol.
"It's a bit of a strange scenario," Mr Thorburn said. "I dropped it off on Wednesday but said they could keep it until Friday. Then I had my apprentice go around there on Thursday to get a data stick out of the glove box and they told him it wasn't there, they thought I had picked it up.
"That just doesn't happen, I'm in the same trade, I spray paint cars and you know when a car starts up in the yard - it's a V8, it's loud."
A spokesperson for Motordrome said it was a blatant daylight theft, which had left everyone "baffled".
"We had absolutely no idea the vehicle wasn't there. It was brazen, whether someone may have been targeting the car we are not sure," the spokesperson said.
"I don't know where, why, what, only that it was right outside the workshop at 3pm when we finished with it and it wasn't there at 5pm." Work to rotate the car's tyres had been completed on Wednesday, before it was parked near the workshop with its keys tucked into the sun visor.
"Those cars just don't get stolen, they have got a chip in the key telling the car not to go [without it]," Mr Thorburn said.
A call to Police to report the car missing uncovered another twist in the plot, with the discovery that it had been used to steal $90 worth of petrol from BP, Railway Rd, on Thursday morning.
Unfortunately the petrol station did not report the crime until three hours later, leaving the trail cold.
Mr Thorburn had re-painted the black exterior of the car, while the interior was dark grey with Club Sport imprinted on the upholstery, it also has black rims on the wheels.
There were no distinguishing features such as scratches or dents, but the model itself was uncommon enough that it would raise suspicion, he said.
"It's not a standard looking car, and it's a V8 and it's got a loud exhaust on it."
Police had not yet apprehended the car thieves but confirmed there had been sightings of the vehicle, including one on Saturday.
"We are still looking for that vehicle, obviously it has turned up somewhere. We have seen it a couple of times," Hastings police Senior Sergeant Ross Smith said. "Police want to hear from anyone who might have seen it.
Sightings of the car [pictured] can be reported to Hastings Police station on: 873-0500 or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Golper has been a visible part of the 2009 class, either camping at UCLA, attending nearly every home game or recruiting other players.
This past weekend, Golper finally got to take his one and only official visit, to UCLA, and it couldn't have gone any better.
"It was just an awesome trip," said Golper. "It really made me want to get up there sooner."
Golper was one of many official visitors to UCLA this past weekend, and the opportunity to be there with so many other committed players made it even more enjoyable. "That was one of the highlights, getting to be with a lot of the other commits," Golper said. "The team is already really tight and the other commits have gotten pretty close. We went up to Coach Neuheisel's house and there were a lot of players there. You can tell that the players are really buying into what Coach Neuheisel is saying."
Golper was hosted by Steve Sloan, like himself, a middle linebacker. "Steve is a great guy," said Golper. "He really showed me around and took me in. He knows we play the same position, but there isn't any animosity. He was just telling me about the defense and we talked a lot of football."
Golper and quarterback commit Richard Brehaut have been instrumental in welcoming other recruits to the class, and getting to trip with Brehaut was something he enjoyed. He said: "Richard and I are probably going to room together during summer. He's graduating early and getting out there this spring, and I'm going to try and graduate early too. It depends on if I can with my school. But I want to enroll early and go through spring practice."
Whether Golper gets to practice in the spring, should he graduate early, depends on how his rehab from a late season knee-injury is progressing. "My rehab is going really good. The doctors said I'm about 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule, so that is good to hear," said Golper.
Golper received the early offer from UCLA, and then was offered by Stanford and Arizona, but a lifelong dream of playing for the Bruins was too good to pass up.
Golper admitted he was disappointed that defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker departed Westwood. Golper and Walker's son, Kevan, had been high school teammates, and it was Walker who personally recruited him. But Golper said he's still excited about the future of the UCLA defense.
"I got to talk with (linebacker) coach (Chuck) Bullough a lot and he's a great coach and I'm really excited about playing for him. He knows the game," said Golper.
Golper said the atmosphere on Saturday evening, when some of the uncommitted players started committing, was pretty fascinating. "We were all just hanging out and then Tani Maka said he was committing," said Golper. "Everyone got excited and then Nik Abele said he was, then so did Billy Sanders and then Marlon Pollard. It was crazy how it all just happened, but you could tell people were excited."
Golper said the commits, both new and old, really clicked over the weekend, and they also did some recruiting of the uncommitted guys.
"We talked a lot with Randall Carroll and Devon Flournoy and just told them they could be a part of building something special. Morrell Presley was around too and he was saying how he changed his mind," said Golper.

Drops of Jupiter and Other Planets by Markus Reugels2012-06-18 4 17 Share Tweet
Coldplay says every teardrop is a waterfall, but photographer Markus Reugels thinks every droplet is a liquid refraction! With an elaborate set-up and a lot of patience, he captures spherical representations of photos on globules of water. Get similar effects with the new Fisheye Baby 110 camera!
With a high-speed camera, serious lighting, and a lot of patience, German photographer Markus Reugels shoots spheres of water as they drop, refracting the background image they are set upon. The results are amazing!
"They may look simple, but there is a lot of work and experience behind the images," Reugels said, perfecting the technique with lots of experimentation. (The first photo in the gallery above is one of his first attempts.) Using satellite photographs of our Solar System as a backdrop, he captures the planets spherically, keeping in mind that timing is another key to getting the right images.
Besides heavenly bodies, Reugels has also shot drops of Superman, Batman, and Spiderman, as well as more abstract pictures. Wanna know how to achieve the same look without all the expensive equipment?
Lomography's new Fisheye Baby 110 Cameras produce fisheye distortions in circular images with its 170-degree wide-angle lens. All you need is to load it with Orca B&W Film and the world is in your hands!
Visit Markus Reugels for more info. Sourced from Incredible Things and Colossal.
The Fisheye Baby 110 Cameras are fully working miniature versions of the Fisheye No. 2 designed especially to fit 110 film. It captures the world in a full circle on a rectangular picture and enables you to capture perfect Fisheye pictures.

Mighty Mississippi
... has plenty of shade, however, the shade does not do a lot with the 100 degree/humid days. We saw the University of Southern Mississippi. A pretty campus that also is the beginning of the Longleaf Trace bike trail. We started out early and rode 20 miles. The trail was well shaded. The first 10 miles were up hill, which made the ten miles back a dream.
We are headed out for New Orleans in the morning! ...
WCU - Lady Crusaders
... arrived so we had some familiarities. I had so much fun, we had a juggling competition and just chatted whilst kicking the ball at our feet (definitely cool).
After a few days of doing not much in the dorms, waiting for the team to flow in, ready for pre-season.
I began to get sick. Definitely not something I planned for when training for pre-season. But, nothing was stopping me, I didn't come all this way to sit out first day of training and ...
Just 1 more night...
... the location until I see it post on the web site, then when I stop for the next, I check to see if I got my points. You can click on my name in the scoring page and it will show you every photo I have submitted - - so you can see what I have been chasing the last few days. There are several different point themes in the rally, but for me I have focused on county courthouses - 1)because they are high point value and 2) because it takes you off the interstate and ...
Saw storms on the forecast, thought, north??
... and a theme for coming days, lots of white wooden baptist churches.
Because of Spring Breakers traffic and Mobile we were later than we intended so decided to stay in Hattiesburg and head to Vicksburg first thing. Mmmm Hattiesburg, looked small on map, wrong, like all in America it was BIG - spreadout - no town centre - ... Ended up in a Quality Inn, eating in a Farmers Market (not what we expected) and having an early night! Hahahaha
The Gulf Coast of Mississippi
... it is not in the normal RV park guides, there are only a few other people here, which is nice, too. John walked to one of the nearby restaurants and got some food to supplement our dinner of leftovers. The restaurant is called Huddle House and seems to be a chain that specializes in breakfast, so we plan to have breakfast there tomorrow. We enjoy trying out the restaurant chains in the South that we do not have at home.

Is one more effective than the other? I was told the Vi peel was medium depth but I am hesitant to believe that. I had it done about 10 days ago and the process was not too far off from other superficial peels I have had in the past like vitilize peel, PCA peel, etc. I wanted to rid myself of small lentigos and remove damage below the surface before it manifested itself to kind of give myself a fresh start, so to speak.
What is the Difference in Effectiveness of TCA Peel (30-35%) to a Vi Peel?
Doctor Answers 3
TCA or Vi Peel?
By Vi peel I assume you mean a Vitalize peel which is a superficial peel of the retinoic acid variety. A TCA peel will be deeper, and you will receive more benefit from it. However, recovery can be longer, whereas there is little to no recovery with a superficial peel.
TCA is a deeper peel
You will get a more effective result with a properly applied TCA peel. This peel penetrates to the superficial dermis.
The Vi Peel is not a Vitalize Peel
The Vi peel (Vitality Insitute) is a light to medium, phenol-based, chemical peel. It treats the full thickness of the epidermis, plus (possibly) a little dermis. I would expect improvement mostly in brown spots. The TCA peel treats even some mid dermis, and improves superficial lines as well.

Firestorm Over Canada's 'Guys Only' Prof
If you've been anywhere near a Canadian newspaper or news website in the last week, then you'll know that a scandal involving author and English professor David Gilmour has been dominating the headlines. The dustup is in response to remarks Gilmour made discounting Canadian, women and minority writers.
I asked some Canadian Jewish writers and literature professors for their takes on the controversy, which has not only taken up many column inches, but also led Gilmour's fellow academics to distance themselves from him, and students to stage protests.
But before we get to the commentary, here is a summary of what led to the brouhaha.
Gilmour's remarks came in a short, informal interview with a writer named Emily M. Keeler for Random House's Hazlitt literary blog. According to the transcript of the conversation, Gilmour, an award-winning author who has been teaching (as a non-tenured lecturer) undergraduate courses in modern short fiction at the University of Toronto, is willing only to teach "stuff I love." This apparently means Russian and American literature ("I just haven't encountered any Canadian writers yet that I love enough to teach") by middle-aged white men like him.
When the interviewer pressed him to explain why he doesn't teach works by women writers, he answered, "When I was given this job I said I would teach only the people that I truly, truly love. And, unfortunately, none of those happen to be Chinese, or women. Um. Except for Virginia Woolf." Then he went on to complain about Woolf being too sophisticated for his students.
It seems common for Gilmour to be questioned about his reading lists. "Usually at the beginning of the semester someone asks why there aren't any women writers in the course. I say I don't love women writers enough to teach them, if you want women writers go down the hall. What I'm good at is guys."
Then he clarified that what he meant by "guys" was "very serious heterosexual guys. Elmore Leonard. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chekhov, Tolstoy. Real guy guys…Henry Miller. Uh. Philip Roth."
Not surprisingly, Gilmour has claimed that this is all much ado about nothing, with his comments having been made off-the-cuff and taken out of context.
For Ruth Panofsky, a Ryerson University English professor and expert on Canadian Jewish literature, Gilmour's dismissal of whole groups of writers is a serious concern. She worries that impressionable undergrads could be swayed by his views. "Professors should be exposing their students to a wide range of writers," she says. "His statements about women and male writers who aren't 'real men' are inappropriate."
Not only does Panofsky find Gilmour's dismissal of women writers regressive, but she also suggests that Gilmour's remarks could discourage young female students aspiring to be writers.
Adam Sol, a poet and English professor at Laurentian University, accuses Gilmour of "intellectual laziness." Sol says it is rare to find tenured professors of modern literature who would say what Gilmour did. But Gilmour, a famous author, is what Sol terms "a glamour hire" and does not have a Ph.D. Sol thinks that what is really at play is the anxiety that Gilmour's remarks provoke. He says people are now wondering if it is as bad as it seems, and whether there are many others like Gilmour out there.
Montreal writer Beverly Akerman finds Gilmour's lack of openness to literary exploration "shocking in this day and age." Furthermore, "there's a real vein of misogyny there," she says. She also finds Gilmour's remarks bizarre in light of the fact that "Canada is famous for its women short fictions writers, like Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood and Mavis Gallant."
Then there are those, like National Post columnist Mireille Silcoff who find the controversy to be a tempest in a teapot. "If this was a hundred years ago, I'd egg the suffragettes on, but this kind of outrage over a professor who wants to skew towards his tastes in teaching an elective?" she wonders. "It feels like people are just looking for something to get riled over. It is so obvious that Gilmour was speaking casually, which is not always the best thing to do in the face of a reporter, because a reporter can take your light words and stick them in a serious frame, and then everything comes off differently."
"Frankly, I would rather hear Gilmour on his favorite authors than Gilmour on females he'd rather not read any day. I would much rather go down the hall."
Akerman feels differently, but she at least finds a silver lining in the whole situation. "Gilmour has done us all a service," she suggests. "We'll all try harder now to look for and read the good female writers out there."

This paper highlights some recent components related to the endogenous growth literature; in particular, (i) research and development progress, direction, and diffusion; (ii) human-capital accumulation; (iii) wage inequality; (iv) nonscale economic growth, showing how each one has been treated by the existing seminal literature and the expected impact of bringing them together. The connection of the different components is mainly done by involving the leading literature on North-South technological-knowledge diffusion by imitation under trade, and the prevailing literature on intra- and intercountry wage inequality.

Play videos when in slideshow mode
When using slideshow mode, it would be nice to be able to actually play the video rather than just seeing the first frame and it goes to the next picture. Ideally you are walking through the slideshow and when you hit a video then you can watch that video before it goes to the next picture or video.

I'll add a comment as well as my votes. A setting to allow auto-play or not would be awesome. I use Smugmug for family mostly, and some of that family is getting older. It would be WONDERFUL to be able to have a caretaker hit "go" on a slideshow and have EVERYTHING play on a continual loop ;)
My kids would appreciate it too (so I can throw videos of them up and they can watch themselves... while I do dishes!) I hope "planned" is sooner than later since early comments say they're from 2008... we're at 9 years of asking now.
Jozef commented
Another feature I lost when coming over from Phanfare :'(
I can't believe PF has had this for 10 years and SM (which - contrary to PF which hasn't been updated in 3 years - is still being worked on) does not.
D. Chavda commented
This is an unfortunate omission. I'd really like to see it become a feature.
I'm in day 2 of my 14-day free trial. Lack of this function is a deal breaker for me, I think. And it's a complete surprise that an app so sophisticated in other ways would lack this function.
I vote "yes" to being able to play videos among the slides in "slide show" mode. It seems quite basic and is frustrating not to be able to do so. Considerably limits creativity...
Dory Maguire commented
Please use all my votes for the next 2 years to vote NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on this. I am selling videos! I DO NOT WANT FOLKS TO WATCH FOR FREE.
If you enable videos to play, PLEASE, add a setting where we can decide to allow the video to play or NOT. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously?? Just finished organizing a photos from a once in a lifetime trip to Australia and New Zealand. When I tried to play the videos in slide-show, nothing happened. I have been such a fan and advocate for you SmugMug "heroes" ... Don't let me and the other posters on this topic down... Come on... Put this feature in your product.
Peter commented
This is an expected basic functionality. Playing back a video as a photo is just plain broken unexpected behaviour. Other sites play videos as videos in slideshow mode. Videos were never intended to be viewed as 1 frame. Who would want to watch a movie as a single still photo? Worse yet, viewers will not know they only saw 1 frame of a video. It'll just seem like you have no video but it is actually there.
kim commented
I agree with others for many of the same reasons. Family or event photo's and video to play with same slideshow, for friends and family to see. As the amateur shutterbug among my friends, family and co-workers I find that SmugMug is a great and easy way to share. Thanks to this blog, I now find that there is other options to get what will work better for me.
thx kim
It seems that this request has been wanted since 2008 and Google and Yahoo already have these. It's sad that smugmug is way behind the times in this. Must be a business decision so save on costs for bandwidth playing videos in full screen mode. I'm for one though am not a very happy paying customer. There isn't even an indicator in slideshow mode that tells you its a video.
Laura Frink commented
It would be great to have this feature for those grad parties and wedding receptions where you want have an unattended slide show that includes photos interspersed with videos. Is there some technical reason this isn't possible? It seems like the actual coding would be straightforward - just embed the video playback inside the slideshow loop. If the issue is swamping the servers with slideshow streams, then perhaps some reasonable limits would work. Some functionality would be better than none. Thanks!
Fred Snell commented
I too would like to auto-play the videos among the slides in the slideshow.
I had just received a reply to a "Hero" question on this subject. I asked if there was a technical issue or if Smugmug simply didn't think it was wanted. Their reply:
Sebastian Hosche
Hi Bill,
Thanks for your reply. It's not a feature we currently offer. If you'd like to see such a feature in a future update, you could consider adding your vote / comment to the suggestion on the SmugMug feedback page:
SmugMug Support Hero
Today, just about all digital cameras have the ability to do HD video clips. Not all of us though care to use Adobe or such to splice together the clips and photos to a movie format for display especially when already using a service such as yours. You did a great service to us Smugmuggers by allowing HD movie uploads which I am sure required an investment in equipment. Why in the world cannot you see the benefit to us by allowing this feature? Would this be causing stress on your servers? Huge increase of Bandwith? Programming issues?
Please, if you can, explain why this feature cannot be implemented.
Martin Gross commented
Would be very good
Dave Thomas commented
+1 to this feature request !!!
Get it done already
It's idiotic that vidoes in slide shows is still unsupported.
Iit's that time of year again and I am re-evaluationg my picture/video hosting provider.
Smugmug just lost (again!) because you don't support videos in slide shows.
I'm going with zen for this year (as they now support vids in slide shows) and will check back again with you next year.
I have been informed video clips will not function during a slide show. Is this something you would be willing to correct with programming or do you not think it would be a worthy change to make. Personally I think it would be something many would like, especially with the new breed of dslrs and m43 cameras shooting both. Many video programs, ie. Adobe Premier Elements allow producing a video with stills and video clips. With that in mind you might even add transitions. OK, I'm getting carried away lets stick with requesting you consider video clips in a slide show.Bill Bourdon
Jarek commented
The galleries with videos should change the option of slideshow to playlist and play the videos without gas so we can split our movies into videos.
Ann Justin commented
Was googling information about this problem and noticed comments going back to 2008! It is now 2012 and nothing has been done about this issue??? It is clearly something that people who use both photos and videos in their slideshows want - and have wanted for a long time.......why has it been addressed? If this company can produce "camera awesome", surely it could do this!
Mark commented
The way we look at pictures is changing, photo and video are no separate forms of expression anymore. I am very surprised Smugmug is unable to provide a simple solution for this request.

At 6-1, 170, Gibson's versatility gives him more than just a "little edge." A standout shortstop and pitcher for Seaford (Del.) High School, Gibson's multi-dimensional abilities were coveted by nearly every major college baseball program east of the Mississippi. Among the suitors were Florida, Delaware, Alabama, Georgia, Miami, and East Carolina. His humble nature prevented him from listing all the schools, as he simply concluded, "I could go on for a little while."
At Seaford, Gibson's versatility was evident on the mound. He finished with a 7-1 record to go with a 1.38 ERA. Opponents amassed a mere 30 hits against Gibson while batting .151.
"He is athletically gifted and those skills give him the ability to change the game," said UNC head coach Mike Fox. "He is also versatile in the fact that he can play shortstop as well as center field."
And those are the two positions where Fox has projected Gibson will play in Chapel Hill.
So exactly what unique characteristic does Gibson possess that makes him so interchangeable in the field? The answer is speed. He has been clocked at running the sixty-yard dash in 6.4 seconds. Baseball aside, he's likely to be one of the best pure athletes at the University of North Carolina. "I'm fast," Gibson said. "I think I can change the game speed-wise."
Gibson's ability to get on base and utilize his speed could be extremely beneficial to a Tar Heel club that finished eleventh in the ACC in both stolen bases and stolen base percentage in 2007.
His skills and athleticism earned him the 2006-2007 Gatorade/Rise Magazine Player of the Year in Delaware. Gibson hit .491 with a home run and 15 stolen bases as a junior. "Derrik has a terrific feel for the game and has been so good for us all year long," said Seaford head coach Kenny Cummings. "He's just a special kid and a special player."
The player-coach relationship is of the utmost importance to Gibson. Thus, the Carolina coaches were one of the major reasons Gibson chose to play at UNC, along with the many celebrated and distinguishing characteristics of the University. And he's quick to use a particular word to describe the different appealing aspects of UNC.
"I think the coaches are awesome, I felt chemistry with them; the student body and how they support their athletics I thought was awesome," Gibson said. "I really like how you can get tutored. I think it's awesome how good the baseball team is and the academics are in the top echelon, too."
Perfect Game ranks Gibson as the 101st overall prospect in the nation, although those close to the Tar Heel program believe he still may be the most underrated player in UNC's 2008 signing class.
Gibson is, however, aware of some parts of his game he'll need to develop to be successful at the next level. "There are some little things that I would like to improve on," he said. "I think when you start getting into ACC baseball you've got to become a smarter baseball player and I think making the right choices and doing the little things is what can make you stand out."
He is currently focused on his senior season, but said he is eagerly awaiting the opportunity that lies ahead: "I think I'm just looking forward to, of course, playing [collegiate] baseball, getting to meet the new guys, and the different environment than where I live here in Delaware."

(CNSNews.com) - Two northeastern lawmakers joined a small group of law enforcement administrators on Capitol Hill Tuesday to reintroduce legislation they argue will reduce the illegal flow of guns to criminals. But the news conference to promote the Anti-Gun Trafficking Act of 2006 quickly switched to an attack on a recently enacted law that protects the gun industry from lawsuits over crimes committed by others.
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said the bill he is reintroducing is intended to address the "scourge of gun trafficking in our country."
"This legislation will actually create a new federal crime of gun trafficking, make it a federal crime and give federal authorities the power, which they need, to go after gun traffickers," King explained. "It would also make it a new crime for criminals to use stolen firearms [or those] which have [obliterated] serial numbers."
Rep. Marty Meehan (D-Mass.), a member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, also supports the anti-trafficking measure, which was originally introduced in 2003.
"It's our duty, in Congress, to do everything we can to make our streets safer," Meehan said. "If you ask any police chief anywhere, either the commissioner or the chief here, or anywhere in the country, they'll tell you that putting an end to gun trafficking is critical."
New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told the congressmen that theoretical debates about the meaning of the Second Amendment are far removed from what he called "the most dangerous type of police work: undercover purchasing of guns from gun traffickers."
"There's a lot of rhetoric that goes along with taking guns off the streets," Kelly said. "But for those people who actually do take guns out of the hands of the wrong people -- the police officers of this country -- there's great risk and too often they lose their lives."
The bill is named in memory of New York Police Detectives James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews, who were murdered while working undercover as part of NYPD's gun trafficking task force.
Chief Mary Ann Viverette of the Gaithersburg, Md., Police Department also spoke at the event, representing the International Association of Chiefs of Police, of which she is also president. Viverette briefly praised the anti-trafficking bill, but then attacked another piece of legislation -- the Firearms Corrections and Improvements Act (H.R. 5005).
"H.R. 5005 would make our job more difficult by severely limiting the ability of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to share tracing information with state and local law enforcement agencies," Viverette claimed. "This legislation clearly has the potential to severely impede the investigation of criminal activities."
New York City Criminal Justice Coordinator John Feinblatt echoed Viverette's complaint.
"It's obvious that Chairman King understands the importance of trace data for law enforcement," Feinblatt argued. "But, as we've heard today, unfortunately, those in Congress who support bills like H.R. 5005 do not understand its importance."
But, as Cybercast News Service previously reported, H.R. 5005 contains no prohibition against the ATF sharing gun trace data with state and local law enforcement agencies for use in criminal investigations or prosecutions. The bill does prohibit the agency from sharing the data with state or local governments' civil attorneys for use in lawsuits or other administrative procedures against gun dealers.
In an interview for that report, attorney and firearms law expert Richard Gardiner challenged New York City's repeated attempts to cite the number of traced guns sold by a particular dealer as an indicator that the dealer was knowingly selling guns to traffickers.
"That assumes that trace data is meaningful in indicating that [firearms] dealers are involved in selling guns that are used in crimes," Gardiner said. "And the problem with that is that the trace data does not include all guns used in crimes, that is to say, not all trace guns are 'crime guns' and not all 'crime guns' are traced."
Gardiner explained that when a law enforcement agency requests information on the ownership of a firearm -- from manufacturer to distributor to retailer to buyer -- from ATF, that trace does not necessarily indicate that the firearm was used in the commission of a crime or even that it was illegally possessed.
The pro-gun attorney cited numerous instances of firearms that do not meet that definition of a "crime gun" being traced at the request of law enforcement agencies.
Among the examples were guns retrieved from the homes of deceased individuals who lived alone and stolen firearms recovered by law enforcement. In both cases, the request for a trace comes not because the firearm is a "crime gun" but because investigators want to deliver the property to its rightful owner.
Feinblatt, however, attempted to link the promotion of the anti-trafficking bill to the attack on H.R. 5005 by promoting the very type of municipal lawsuit H.R. 5005 is intended to discourage.
He discussed a recent campaign by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in which private investigators hired by the city were sent to out-of-state gun dealers to attempt to make illegal firearms purchases.
"Last month, New York City announced civil litigation against 15 gun dealers in five states for selling guns in typical straw purchases," Feinblatt said. "It was trace data that allowed the city to identify these 15 rogue dealers."
But retired ATF Deputy Assistant Director Wally Nelson, writing in Monday's New York Sun, called the city's alleged "investigation" a "headline-grabbing stunt" that "jeopardized over a dozen ongoing criminal investigations, putting law enforcement officers at risk."
"A suspect who suddenly finds out that a gun store he frequents is under surveillance will likely stop his activities. He also could violently turn on anyone he believes is an investigator; shop owners and employees are potential targets, too," Nelson wrote.
"The few gun store owners who are corrupt will be on their best behavior. Suspects and evidence may disappear, with weeks or months of investigative work being lost," Nelson added.
Kelly said he is aware of Nelson's complaints.
"Nobody has shown us any information that substantiates that," Kelly responded. "That information was put out fairly soon after the mayor announced this operation."
But Nelson said New York City's "misuse" of the gun trace data in targeting the gun dealers it is currently suing shows why "Congress put such records off limits to all but law enforcement."
"These restrictions must remain in place to prevent ATF's national firearms trace database from being misused in the public domain. The ill-considered use of trace data -- like conducting private investigations -- can be dangerous," Nelson wrote.
"Realizing a risk to law enforcement, Congress in 2003 restricted access to the data to law enforcement, saying it 'holds the potential of endangering law enforcement officers and witnesses [and] jeopardizing on-going criminal investigations,'" Nelson added.
Nelson noted that the ATF has historically worked well with the NYPD and that the federal agency is far from being "asleep at the switch," as Bloomberg has asserted.
"The number of defendants referred by ATF for prosecutions is up 170 percent since 2000, with a 14 percent increase in the number of convictions for illegal firearms trafficking in just the past year," Nelson noted.
"Criminal firearms violence is a problem that ATF attacks vigorously, with assistance and cooperation from local law enforcement and the firearms industry. ATF is equipped to handle it. The city should let it," added Nelson.
Bloomberg initiated the investigations into allegedly "rogue" gun dealers after Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, (S. 397). The law prohibits lawsuits against gun makers, distributors, marketers and dealers for the illegal actions of third parties unless those entities aided in the commission of the crimes or were negligent in their legal duties.
King's anti-trafficking bill would also increase the federal penalties for drug traffickers who possess or use firearms during the commission of drug-related crimes. He said that he is "somewhat optimistic" about his chances to get the bill passed.

2007-08 Cincinnati Men's Basketball
Nov. 11, 2007
Bowling Green Head Coach Louis Orr
Opening Statement
"Great team win.
On Chris Knight's Play
"Nowadays it doesn't matter. Freshmen are as good as seniors. Chris (Knight) has a certain poise and presence. He's confident, he doesn't get rattled, and he's a hard worker. When a young man hasn't played in a year, they usually say it takes a while to get the rust off, but that hasn't been true for him."
On Having Only Six Turnovers
"I think both teams were probably tired. Every game was a war, and it came down to a few plays in the end. No game was more than a ten-to-eleven point victory. Both teams had to be worn out. I told our guys that endurance and commitment was going to be a big part. We had to have forty minutes or more in endurance. We practice and prepare to play forty minutes. We have to believe to make big plays at the end to win."
Chris Knight
On his Withrow Ties
"I was so happy because when he (Coach Louis Orr) was at Seton Hall, he was telling me to get my grades up. Back then I was young and dumb. When I heard he was coming to
Tonight's Loss
"There is a lot of disappointment. We've got a job to do and tonight we didn't get it done. We aren't working hard enough. Last year we knew what it took, but this year we aren't doing the things that we did last year. Winning isn't going to be easy."
"We knew we had to work just by the results of last year. With us having to go through what we've been through, we can't take anyone easy. We've seen that this weekend."
On Opening Statement
"We gave up 58% from the field in the second half, 50 percent from the three-point line, and we only caused six turnovers. I love the guy coaching that team. It's a great win for that team, but we aren't any good. We are a bad defensive team. Right now, we're giving up 40 to 46 percent for the year from the field."
On Excuses from the Players
"I've had enough of that. Excuses are for losers. My job is to get a better defensive team, and that is the bottom line."
On Fixing Problems
"It's not about a short or long fix. We won't win our next game if they shoot 40-45 percent from the field. It doesn't matter who you play; you have to defend. We have one win, and they shot 39 percent from the field. We haven't made lay-ups very well either. When you can't make wide open three's and lay-ups, it's tough to win. I thought

Kristen talks about the closeness of the cast in this video from her 'W' magazine shoot!
Kristen Stewart is so close with the cast Breaking Dawn, and this camaraderie helped her play Bella with plenty of emotion!
Kristen, 21, revealed this tidbit while filming an intimate video for her W magazine shoot.
"Towards the end it wasn't difficult to get back to ol' Bella," she says. "You walk into a room and you see all of the same faces and you pick up dynamics just naturally. You don't have to necessarily remember them — they're in your body."
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — can you feel the camaraderie of the cast while watching the Twilight movies?

A simple bourbon costs $2 more than nearby bars with better music. I have no idea how or why this pretentious place can get busy. What a joke.
Beautiful place with a great mix of people looking to have a great time. I read a couple reviews on here and can't believe what people wrote. I have never had more fun with a group of friends in Lexington anywhere and the DJ's were great. The place was definitely upscale I am glad Lexington has a place like that....
Theres a lot of different things going on at Trust. Saturday night is their busiest night! Awesome DJ's, mostly from out of state. Live bands play on thursday and fridays, and awesome drink specials wednesday thru friday. I recommend this place if you want to dance and have a good time!
Trust bills themselves as upscale and elite, yet it feels very cheap and childish. The few times I have been there the DJ's were absolutely horrible. No skills, no class, no tact. I don't know where they find their talent, but there are much better DJ's in the area who would shame these guys. Their drink selection is not only...
Trust lounge is racist. I went there a few weeks ago and walked in there with denim tailored shorts, a chiffon shirt and wedge heels, no problem. But then again, I was with a light skinned girl. Tonight, I had on tailored jeans and a nice wrap dressy shirt, and they told me I couldn't get in because I wasn't...
Dirty, bad music, warm beer, worst long island ever had.
The lounge is very upscale. VIP rooms decorated beautifully. Service/billing for drinks was great, even with a large group. I was disappointed in the music at 11 PM. I thought it was a jazz club and they had a loud club DJ. The music didn't fit the atmosphere to me. I also expected live music. However, I will return but...
My boyfriend and I stopped in last week and were quite impressed. They had a jazz ensemble which was a nice surprise, particularly during the week. The decor was stunning with a good ambiance. I would recommend this place for a nice, upscale cocktail with some great music that (to my knowledge) isn't anywhere else in town.

DIY ? Rear cradle bushings?
So, i really like doing things DIY. does anyone have a CAD drawing of the Delrin rear cradle bushings? so i can have the exact measurements? Would you think its possible for a guy with alot of time on his hands , and access to a CNC , take some Delrin barstock (http://www.onlinemetalsupply.com/whi...x-12-long.html) and make some bushings ?

Re: DIY ? Rear cradle bushings?
It's definitely possible. If someone has dimensions for the bushing, I could make a CAD file. I think you'd want the outside diameter to be a good fit in the housing, maybe .001-.002" clearance, with a steel sleeve in the center like the polyurethane bushings.
Re: DIY ? Rear cradle bushings?
Why bother? Its already been done and there is 1 set left from the group buy we did last year
All the maths have been done and they were made on a 4 axis Haas CNC (IIRC).

Mithun Perera eyes history at Avantha Masters
Sri Lanka's Mithun Perera hopes his wish of winning his first Asian Tour title will come true at Avantha Masters.
Greater Noida: Sri Lanka's Mithun Perera hopes his wish of winning his first Asian Tour title will come true when the 1.8 million euro Avantha Masters gets underway at the Jaypee Greens Golf Course here on Thursday.
The Sri Lankan was on the verge of creating history at the Asian Tour season-opening event in Myanmar but was pipped to second place by Order of Merit leader Chawalit Plaphol of Thailand.
"That result in Myanmar really gave me lots of confidence as that has kept up my rankings on the Asian Tour. I feel proud to be the first Sri Lankan to hold a full card on the Asian Tour and my target is to win at least one event this year," said Mithun.
With his recent form, the Sri Lankan is confident that he can do better than his debut performance when he finished tied-29th last year. "I had a good finish last year and it's exciting to be back again. There are many good players this week and it'll be great to play against them," said Mithun.
A stellar field that consists of no fewer than 38 Asian Tour winners including three Order of Merit champions is poised to make the Avantha Masters an intriguing contest as a host of Ryder Cup stars from the European Tour have also confirmed their participation.
Scotland's Colin Montgomerie, the most prolific British winner in European Tour history, will make his first appearance at the Avantha Masters. He will be joined by Ryder Cup stars Ignacio Garrido of Spain, England's David Howell, Italy's Edoardo Molinari, Frenchman Thomas Levet and Welshman Philip Price.
The Asian Tour will feature top contenders including Singapore's Mardan Mamat, a three-time Tour winner, Sweden's Rikard Karlberg, Australia's Scott Hend and Korean-American David Lipsky.
Meanwhile 2010 Avantha Masters champion Andrew Dodt of Australia is looking to revive his career in a place where he savoured his maiden victory three years ago. The Australian has not reached the dizzy heights of his breakthrough year in 2010. He spent most of his 2012 season playing in Europe where his indifferent form almost caused him to lose his card.

Hi I am in 3rd Year now and I am aiming to get 11A's in my junior cert.. I study a lot from the start of this year but I still didnt get good results in my Semester Exams Last week.. My timetable for the day is-- My school ends at 3:30 and I start my HW at 5:00, I try get as much HW done my 6:30.. I then study till 8:30/9:00.. I dont know what I am doing wrong and even though I study for hours I am not recieving the grades I want😭 (especially the 3 languages) PLZ need advice😭
with the jc your grades tend to improve throughout the year, it takes a while to notice but if your consistent and test yourself using the marking scheme you should be fine. good luck
do you study at weekends? I mean all the time, not just before tests.
Yeah your timetable is good just remember to take breaks, exercise frequently and eat healthier... Physical health is related to brain health
3 languages is a bit much
Sineadsweet15 it's not his choice, like myself. I study English, Irish and French?
he probably isnt counting english or irish, I do english,irish, french and german. Maybe he does the same
You have a really good timetable if you use your time effectively. Last year when I did the junior cert, I started homework at 6 and didn't finish until 10 and then began to study, so you really are fortunate to have the time. Do you feel that you are procrastinating or is it that it's just a lot of work to learn in such a short amount of time. If its procrastination, then before your study write about 3 aims down, e.g. practice simultaneous equations, revise Irish grammar and fgo over a couple of people in historys. Give each of these a time slot and work hard on achieving your goals, don't cut into the time of another subject as you always have the next day to revise or you could study until 9:30. If its that you don't have enough time, you honestly do! It might feel that the mocks and the junior cert are coming quickly, but just stop and think that realistically you have 6 months. I recommend that you might go over exam papers and wrote out predictions, definite topics every couple of years and things that haven't come up in a while. Also have a look at what is happening right now since they are writing the papers currently. If you do this, you'll realise that there are a few things on the course that you can cut out, which will save you time from learning pointless things
What results did you get in your exams at the end of 2nd year?

It's well-known that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers billions of dollars in grants to US academic research facilities. What's less well-known is that each year, hundreds of new inventions are produced in the laboratories of NIH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and these inventions are licensed out to private companies in the US and internationally for further research and development, with the hopes of bringing new products to market.
The European Commission's regulatory committee on medical devices on 19 May voted in favor of the commission's decision that products "whose principal intended action, depending on proanthocyanidins (PAC) present in cranberry extract, is to prevent or treat cystitis," also known as bladder inflammation or infection, "are not medical devices within the meaning of Article 1 (2) (a) of the Medical Devices Directive."
Welcome to Regulatory Reconnaissance, your daily regulatory news and intelligence briefing.
For the second time in seven months, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) met in late April to discuss their approaches for evaluating antimicrobial agents, with the aim of identifying areas for convergence.
A study of 150 European patient groups conducted on behalf of the Irish Patients Association (IPA) has found that patients are usually not made aware that the medication they have been prescribed is off label or how to respond to off-label side effects, reports The Pharma Times.
Sixty-six percent of groups polled said that their patients were not always aware that the prescribed drug product was off-label, while 12% said that none of their patients were ever aware if this was the case.
Just 42% of groups polled said their patients were informed of how to respond to off-label side effects, while a further 23% said some of their patients had experienced off-label side effects.
The study recommends that patients be informed that the prescribed medication is for off-label uses and that regulation surrounding the practice be strengthened (72%). A further 65% of study participants recommended that strengthened regulations be done at the European-wide level as opposed to a nation-by-nation basis.

Beach Channel Chooses Coach… For Now
As the high school varsity football season approaches, teams throughout the city are practicing for the first week. Beach Channel not only has to worry about their first game against Lafayette, but also wait with baited breath on who their new or returning head coach will be.
It was a few weeks ago that the Department of Education fired longtime head coach Marty Senall due to a reported incident with Senall and a player during spring practice. Senall filed a grievance to appeal the decision but in the meantime, the Beach Channel Dolphins were left without a head coach.
For a few weeks, Steve Goldman, assistant coach under Senall, ran the program. But with the season only a week away, Beach Channel's new principal, Barbara Plener decided to name an interim coach from inside the school. Plener asked Girls Varsity Basketball head coach Victor Nazario Jr. to take over the job.
"I'll prepare them as best as I can and I have no control of what decision is made in the future", said Nazario.
It's not as Nazario expected to take over the job. He was called up last Monday night by Assistant Principal Mark Sanchez and was told to meet with the new Beach Channel principal about the job. Nazario, who previously coached the junior varsity team for three years, accepted the provisions that until the decision is made with Senall's appeal, Nazario will run the practices.
In his first practice last Wednesday, Nazario's familiarity with the players helped create a stable environment even in these strange times for the football program.
Marty Goodman remains as an assistant coach and is preparing the team for the upcoming season. Goodman coached with Senall for 10 years at South Shore High School in Brooklyn says that Senall is pushing for a quick decision. Until that decision is made, Goodman is focused on how the team will look this year.
After a 3-5 season last year, Beach Channel will be an experienced team as juniors and seniors compose a majority of the roster. "We're very experienced with the offensive starters and we have a lot of linebacker type players we can play", said Goodman. Senior QB Luis Santana will helm the offense with Lamar Hilliard and Tommie Stephens returning as the backfield duo.
Four-year starter Alan Trujillo will split time at linebacker and defensive end. Trujillo may see a lot more time at defensive end. Goodman notes that the offensive and defensive line is where the team may be weak. "We're going to need all of the starters to remain healthy", said Goodman.
Another issue is overall depth for a team that was ahead or tied in the first half in their losses to Madison, Kennedy and Lehman. The team currently carries 30-35 players and most schools carry at least 40-45."We just got tired in the second half and we wore down", said Goodman, who along with Nazario, hopes that with the start of school, students may be interested in joining the team.
There is a lot of motivation for Beach Channel to have a good season. The Dolphins move up to a level 5 rating and they will face some good teams this year. O' Shea Walford, a junior center/guard, says that the team is ready to compete. " We have a lot of good guys on this team and we feel should go out on the field, be serious and we want to make a statement.
Nazario wants to concentrate on getting the team ready for the season. "I'm willing to make the sacrifice for these kids. For how long I don't know, but I'm enjoying it".
