There was the unexpected handshake between President Barack Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro; the fake sign language interpreter who says he saw angels in the stadium; and of course, "selfie-gate." Brooke speaks with Roberto Schmidt, the AFP photographer who snapped the now infamous photos, about how the media have overblown the story. Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE: This week's memorial service for Nelson Mandela was a fount of headline- grabbing photo ops. First, there was the handshake between President Barack Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro. Here's CNN's live coverage of that. [CLIP]: CHRIS CUOMO: Before I came on, we were walking around and talking to security officials. CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: Castro! He's shaking hands with Raul Castro! CHRIS CUOMO: Right, as Christiane points out, President Obama just shook hands with Raul Castro from Cuba. [SINGING IN BACKGROUND][END CLIP] BROOKE GLADSTONE: And all the subsequent Kremlinological commentary, culminating in Senator John McCain's penetrating historical analogy. [CLIP]: JOHN McCAIN: Neville Chamberlain shook hands with Hitler. [END CLIP] BROOKE GLADSTONE: Up on the podium, there was the sign language interpreter who later explained that he was hallucinating angels and had past episodes that resulted in violence, flailing his arms about, signifying nothing. RON ALLEN/NBC NEWS: He was seen behind President Obama and a number of other speakers, making hand gestures. And critics have said that he was an imposter, that none of this made any sense. BROOKE GLADSTONE: And finally, of course, there was Selfie-gate, the funeral selfie seen around the world, featuring the smiling trio of Obama, alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. [CLIP]: CORRESPONDENT: Is this modern-day diplomacy, or is it just dis, disrespectful at a memorial service? BROOKE GLADSTONE: Roberto Schmidt, the AFP photographer, took the picture of the selfie being snapped. Tell me about the events leading up to that moment of that picture, the context. ROBERTO SCHMIDT: Well, part of my assignment was to look at the heads of state who had gathered for the ceremony. Barack Obama was talking to David Cameron and with the Danish Prime Minister, and that's when she actually reached into her purse and brought out a cell phone and stretched her arms and did a selfie with them. I actually liked the fact that I was seeing this, seeing dignitaries on a human side, which we rarely get to see, actually. You know, the access that we have to dignitaries is so controlled that I thought this was actually refreshing. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Did this strike you as shamefully disrespectful? ROBERTO SCHMIDT: Not really. I think this whole episode has been blown out of proportion. It was a very festive atmosphere, which is actually very interesting and pretty, actually, in a way. It's the way South Africans celebrate the life and the memory of Nelson Mandela. And they were dancing and singing. BROOKE GLADSTONE: And laughing. ROBERTO SCHMIDT: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, a festive, festive atmosphere. BROOKE GLADSTONE: The ceremony had already gone on for two hours. It was going on for two hours more. It was just one of what, some 500 pictures you took of the event? ROBERTO SCHMIDT: Yeah, that's what's a little bit sad about it. We put out close to 500 images that day. And some of the images are very, very interesting, nice, strong images, showing this celebration for Nelson Mandela. And, unfortunately, you know, the picture that got more front pages in dailies and websites around the world was the selfie. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Aside from some people's moral indignation, seeing this photo, there was also a little mini-drama involving a floating image on social media and even some news outlets that showed a series of pictures of Obama sitting in between the smiling blonde Danish Prime Minister and a rather glum sullen-looking Michelle Obama. Were we seeing a domestic spat? ROBERTO SCHMIDT: I think that's an interpretation that people are making, but just one single image can be a little deceiving sometimes. At the moment that the picture was taken, sure, she was serious and she wasn't partaking in the selfie. She was just looking forward. But, you know, minutes before she was meeting and greeting people, talking candidly with others. Look, whatever interpretation you want to make, you should ask her. I cannot say. BROOKE GLADSTONE: There was a report from Media Matters this week that said a majority of Mandela's memorial coverage on the cable news channels focused on the Castro handshake and on the selfie, rather than on the memorial itself or Mandela's legacy. Did you ever imagine when you snapped that photo that it would become such a big deal? ROBERTO SCHMIDT: No, never – never, never, never. I knew I had a, an interesting moment, just because we usually don't see heads of state in a very human light. Everything is very staged. And I knew it was a picture worth putting on the wire and it would get some play. But I never thought it would grow into this, into this buzz. BROOKE GLADSTONE: What was your reaction to the media spectacle around this seemingly innocuous snapshot? ROBERTO SCHMIDT: I really think it's just sad. I mean, it's like what does that say about our society. Is that – are those the things that we focus on? Sometimes we just get carried away by, by noise that people make, and it just produces more and more noise. BROOKE GLADSTONE: I guess we should be glad that there are so many of these little dustups that they fade out of memory almost as quickly as they make their splash. ROBERTO SCHMIDT: Absolutely. Well, look at – this is a good example. You know, the selfie, you know, made a big splash but now today the big talk is about the, the translator for, for the sign language. What are we gonna talk about tomorrow? BROOKE GLADSTONE: Roberto, thank you very much. ROBERTO SCHMIDT: You're most welcome. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Roberto Schmidt is a photographer for Agence France-Presse, based in India. ROBERTO SCHMIDT: Do you know when this is going air live or how I can get like a copy of it, or maybe a link for it? BROOKE GLADSTONE: Sure. This will be posted on Friday night, Eastern Standard Time. ROBERTO SCHMIDT: Great. It's just like one of these things. Really, I never really believe this is gonna happen – [BROOKE LAUGHS] - right, and so it's – for me, it's more than anything really, more than anything else, it's like a curious anecdote in my career. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Yeah. ROBERTO SCHMIDT: And maybe someday I can, I can sit with my son and say, yeah, like check this out, man, wasn't – wasn't this the mess-up, you know? [BROOKE LAUGHING] Learn from this. Don't be like this, Son, don't be like this. [LAUGHS]

We present two new stochastic volatility models in which option prices for European plain-vanilla options have closed-form expressions. The models are motivated by the well-known SABR model, but use modified dynamics of the underlying asset. The asset process is modelled as a product of functions of two independent stochastic processes: a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process and a geometric Brownian motion. An application of the models to options written on foreign currencies is studied.

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson has warned employees they should think twice about reporting sexual harassment to HR
Change is a normal part of life which enables us to grow and develop, says one medical practitioner
Despite heightened awareness of the impact line managers have on engagement and employee perceptions of an employer, companies are still lagging when it comes to appropriate training for first time managers.
Paula Willscroft, head of open programs at the Australian Institute of Management, says it's not unusual for first time managers to find themselves thrown in the deep end, with little or no L&D support.
"People are promoted before they're prepared, particularly when there's an internal move. Often it's still a case of promoting before they're provided with what I would call the toolkit – the essentials they will need," she says.
So what should that toolkit include? Willscroft suggests there are three key areas. The first is self-knowledge. "The individual needs to have a deep understanding of what their capabilities are now, and what the new role will demand of them," she says. "It's often that transition from being technically great to being able to manage a team, being able to step back. That's a big shift for people to make."
Self-knowledge includes an understanding of strengths and weaknesses (development opportunities). It's also about knowing how they best learn and where they can take learning opportunities from. It's also understanding the 'helicopter view' – and knowing that they need time to reflect not only on themselves but also the team dynamics and how their team operates as part of a larger entity.
A second area is getting the job done and delivering on the expectations that are placed on them – that includes skills around planning, project management, continuous improvement. Willscroft notes there's also increasingly an expectation that frontline managers will have an impact on innovation. Although innovation can be defined in a range of ways, at that frontline level it's about improving systems and processes, thinking a little more creatively about problem solving, and having a solution orientation as much as accepting the status quo. The best innovation comes from listening to what clients want, and listening to what people at the coal face are doing – because they're doing the job, and they know how best to improve it.
"These are things that young managers in particular are good at. They are often naturally curious, creative and have a lot of energy about wanting to change things moving forward. A good development program will provide them with a framework, template, process, and tools to be able to do that in a way that positions them to be able to influence outside their own team," says Willscroft.
Thirdly, the skills toolkit must include leadership capability. This includes teambuilding, team performance, individual performance management, a great ability to communicate not only with the team but across the organisation, recognition they (frontline managers) are not operating in a silo, and managing stakeholders and customers at that interpersonal level.
This leadership component is crucial, and again self-knowledge comes to the fore. New managers need to be aware of their impact on other people and appreciate that one behavioural style may not necessarily fit every situation. It's also important to know that what worked for them as a team member may not necessarily work for them as a team leader. Accompanying this are 'discreet skills' around influencing and negotiation – particularly on behalf of a team. The practical elements will include knowledge of the things managers need to ask themselves to create their personal approach to leadership.

The evolution of existing ideas combined with advances in modern technology are creating a more humane experience of work, as Angela Ferguson writes
Interpersonal effectiveness can have a significant impact on an individual's success – or failure – as a leader. Neuroscience is proving that many of these skills can be taught, as HRD discovers
Instead of believing health and wellbeing initiatives have a minimal impact on business performance, it's time to build a bridge between the two. Here's how to start

The general term waterfowl is used to describe birds—including geese, swans, and ducks—living in freshwater habitats. All species share the characteristics of webbed feet and flattened bills. Waterfowl are commonly associated with lakes and ponds, but most species spend time on land foraging and nesting. Although all are migratory birds, many remain present year-round in ideal locations. Man-made environments like golf courses, office parks, artificial ponds and lakes, and municipal parks often provide waterfowl with irresistible grazing surfaces and an ideal habitat that can support them all year long.
The Canada goose is the species of waterfowl that often causes the most conflicts with humans. Canada geese are distinguishable by their large size, white cheek patch, and black bill, head and neck. They weigh about twelve pounds and have an average wing length of twenty inches. As a strongly monogamous species, geese pair at about three years of age, have strong family ties, and often vigorously defend nests and goslings. Canada geese can often be seen and heard flying overhead in a "V" formation, which allows each bird to fly in the wind draft of the bird in front of it, thereby saving energy and taking turns as the leader to break the wind.
Waterfowl primarily cause conflicts with humans when landscaped areas and maintained lawns are affected. When grazing, geese do not permanently disturb or physically damage turf. Conflict usually occurs from fecal deposits and the aggregation of numbers of birds; read about a solution to this problem. Tolerance, vegetation management (the use of tall grass or other naturally occurring vegetation to deter geese and ducks), fencing, harassment techniques (including the use of trained border collies), hazing, repellents, and oiling eggs are among the many solutions available in dealing with waterfowl. An integrated approach using a variety of these techniques is the best way to solve conflicts. For more information on Geese management click here.
Waterfowl are not a health threat to humans, however large accumulations of their droppings are becoming cause for concern in water quality control in municipal lakes and ponds. The botulism strain that affects waterfowl is not transmittable to humans.

Top 10 Eclipse Juno Features
In 2004 a new Major Version of the Eclipse platform was released: Eclipse 3.0. This release delivered a universal platform for application delivery and included the OSGi runtime. Now, 8 years later, the Eclipse release train has moved to the next major version. Eclipse Juno has been released and it is the first simultaneous release to be built on Eclipse 4. In preparation for the release, I've been counting down the Top 10 Eclipse Juno Features that I'm most excited about:
10. MacOS App Integration
9. LDT & Koneki
8. Mylyn & Intent
7. RAP Protocol
6. Git
5. JDT Enhancements
4. Orion
3. Xtext / Xtend
2. Code Recommenders
In addition to this, Eclipse Juno contains a number of other great features including: Vigro Nano, Jetty 8 (and servlet 3.0 support) and the OSGi RC5 reference implementation. Please check out PlanetEclipse for exciting announcements and other information related to the Juno release. While all of these features are pretty cool, the most exciting feature, and Number 1 on my Juno Top 10 List, has been under development for over 4 years: the Eclipse 4.x Platform.
Eclipse 4 started as an incubator (known as e4) and over the past three years, components have been graduating from the incubator into the Eclipse core. Officially, the platform version is 4.2.
From a purely aesthetics perspective, Eclipse 4 brings a whole new look to the workbench:
There are also a number of new interaction and usability improvements, including the ability to mix views and editors:
A universal search bar:
and Detached Editors:
Of course, the changes are much more than skin deep. The new 4.x workbench brings an entirely new programming model. The workbench is represented as an EMF model, and is dynamically rendered. This completely separates the UI concerns from the application logic and allows for a much more dynamic workbench and a plug-able presentation engine. Widgets can now be styled using a CSS Styling Engine:
The platform now supports dependency injection for common services and a common event bus for all workbench related events.
This new programming model is not just for the Java IDE, but represents a much easier way to develop plugins, and RCP Applications. There are great resources available to help you get started. Also, the e4 incubator has a number of exciting technologies, including a live model editor that you can use to dynamically change the properties of your UI model.
And a CSS-Spy to help examine the CSS properties:
There are is also a compatibility layer, so your existing plugins should work just fine on the 4.x platform.
As I mentioned above, the Eclipse 4 platform has been under development for a number of years now. Mike Wilson (McQ) leads the project, but the work has been split between a large number of very active (and long-time) Eclipse committers including: Brian de Alwis, Carolyn MacLeod, Curtis Windatt, David Williams, Deepak Azad, Dani Megert, Eric Moffatt, Grant Gayed, Bogdan Gheorghe, Carolyn MacLeod, John Arthorne, Kai Toedter, Markus Keller, Michael Rennie, Oleg Besedin, Pawel Piech, Paul Webster, Szymon Brandys, Lakshmi Priya Shanmugam, Stephan Herrmann, Silenio Quarti, Remy Suen, Thomas Schindl, Thomas Watson and Tomasz Zarna. In addition to this, the e4 (the incubator project) is currently being developed by: Brian de Alwis, Danail Branekov, Bogdan Gheorghe, Lars Vogel, Paul Webster and Thomas Schindl.
To everyone involved with this project, let me extend a very big thank-you. It is your dedication to Eclipse that will ensure the longevity of this excellent platform! +1 and keep up the great work!
If you would like to try all the features in my Top 10 List (except for Orion, which is not a traditional Eclipse plugin), you can download my Yoxos Profile and start is using the Yoxos Launcher. This will provision an Eclipse install containing the Top 10 Features.

hi marcel,
I am new to using Code recommenders. I am using Eclipse Juno and I have installed code recommenders on eclipse but i dont see any content assists for Code recommender or chain completion. I tried it on java.lang.String class and did something like this "Java". and did a ctrl+space and i dont see code recommender content assist, all i see is template proposals.
Am i missing something?
I double checked Preferences -> java – editor – content assist – advanced I have checked the following under "select the proposal kinds containted in the default content assist list:"
1) Code Recommenders Proposals
2) Java proposals
3) template proposals
The second box down the above is the "Content assist cycling". The following are checked
1) Template Proposals
2) Code Recommenders Proposals
3) Chain Proposals(Recommenders)
4) Java subwords proposals(recommenders).
when triggering code completion on "java".| you should get something like
* "equals" – 44%
* "length" – 20%
* …
The settings look quite okay. I assume that you have internet connection and Recommenders was able to download the model for your JRE but can you check if Recommenders was able to resolve a model file for your rt.jar (or classes.jar) by checking whether the "Calls" preference page shows a "resolved" state for this jar?
Chain completion on java.lang.String will per default not work. String is in the "ignore list" because it occurs in too many APIs and search is likely to take too long in most cases. See "Return types to ignore:" setting in chains preference page.
Eclipse 4 looks very promising however, after using it for one week, it is quite a disappointment. Besides the new look, very few things have changed nor are they really useful. But mainly, the performance is absolutely unacceptable. After a few hours of work, everything is getting slower and slower. Opening editors takes between 30 seconds and 1 minute.
The Java developer package (which is mainly JDT + GIT + Maven) is still not able to handle correctly hierarchical Maven projects under Git versioning. Sometimes, file selection works in Git and sometimes not. Refresh of files is very clumsy and Eclipse does not seem to be ableto see that files are represented in several projects.
Thanks for the reply Marcel.
I realized that all my settings of eclipse are correct except for the fact that all the libraries that needs to be loaded from repository http://download.eclipse.org/recommenders/models/juno/ are in status "UNRESOLVED".
When i go to preferences -> Code Recommenders -> Calls and select on the jars(say rt.jar), Resolution status drop down box is set to "UNRESOLVED". How do i fix it.
I am very curious to test this code recommenders(looks very promising) and see how much of help it would be of me. I could make my entire team to use it once i test it.
You probably use the Eclipse proxy settings? If so, please check http://wiki.eclipse.org/Recommenders/FAQ#Can.27t_download_any_recommendation_models._What.27s_wrong.3F There is an update on DEV update site available that now support the Eclipse proxy settings. Let me know if this solves your issue.
Cheers, Marcel
I uninstalled and installed Code Recommenders back again from http://download.eclipse.org/recommenders/updates/head/e42/ the website you mentioned in the eclipse blog. I still see that the jars are unresolved. Felt like the uninstall wasn't complete.
I didnt play around with the eclipse proxy settings. I checked in preferences section to see if I can change proxy settings but I dont find one. I extracted another copy of Eclipse Juno and installed a fresh copy of Code Recommender it still isnt Resolved after getting the Dev version of http://download.eclipse.org/recommenders/updates/dev/e42/. Its still not working
your problem sounds pretty strange. The proxy settings are part of the default Eclipse configuration. Please see "General » Network Connections" where to configure it. But as you say you don't use any proxy settings I'm not sure what's the root cause.
Let's try to figure out what's going wrong with your settings. Can you
1) delete the folder workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.recommenders.rcp/
2) restart Eclipse
3) trigger code completion on a string variable inside a method body
Can you then post the contents of your "workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.recommenders.rcp/" folder to our forum at http://www.eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.recommenders ?
Let's continue the discussion there.

Once all of the participants have completed the study measures and all of the data has been collected, the researcher must prepare the data to be analyzed. Organizing the data correctly can save a lot of time and prevent mistakes. Most researchers choose to use a database or statistical analysis program (Microsoft Excel, SPSS) that they can format to fit their needs in order to organize their data effectively. A good researcher enters all of the data in the same format and in the same database, as doing otherwise might lead to confusion and difficulty with the statistical analysis later on. Once the data has been entered, it is crucial that the researcher check the data for accuracy. This can be accomplished by spot-checking a random assortment of participant data groups, but this method is not as effective as re-entering the data a second time and searching for discrepancies. This method is particularly easy to do when using numerical data because the researcher can simply use the database program to sum the columns of the spreadsheet and then look for differences in the totals. Perhaps the best method of accuracy checking is to use a specialized computer program that cross-checks double-entered data for discrepancies (as this method is free from error), though these programs can be hard to come by and may require extra training to use correctly.(1)
Descriptive statistics describe the data. They do not draw conclusions about the data. Descriptive statistics are normally applied to a single variable at a time. They can tell the researcher the central tendency of the variable, meaning the average score of a participant on a given study measure. The researcher can also determine the distribution of scores on a given study measure, or the range in which scores appear. Finally, descriptive statistics can be used to tell the researcher the frequency with which certain responses or scores arise on a given study measure. For example, in our imaginary study about the effectiveness of corrective lenses on economic productivity, the researcher might observe that the average dollars-per-week of a person with corrected vision is $500, whereas the average DPW for a person without corrected vision is $450. A good researcher will know that this is not enough information to conclude that vision correction has an effect on economic productivity. Inferential statistics are necessary to draw conclusions of this kind. Descriptive statistics might also tell the researcher that the distribution of DPW is $351-$640 for the whole sample, and that the average DPW is $445 for the sample.(2)
Correlation is one of the most often used (and most often misused) kinds of descriptive statistics. It is perhaps best described as "a single number that describes the degree of relationship between two variables."(3) If two variables tend to be "correlated," that means that a participant's score on one tends to vary with a score on the other. For example, people's height and shoe size tend to be positively correlated. This means that for the most part, if a given man is tall, he is likely to have a large shoe size. If short, he is likely to have a smaller shoe size. Correlation can also be negative. For example, the temperature outside in Fahrenheit may be negatively correlated with the number of hot chocolates sold at a local coffee shop. This is to say that as the temperature goes down, hot chocolate sales tend to go up. Although causality may seem to be implied in this situation, it is important to note that on a statistical level, correlation does not imply causation. A good researcher knows that there is no way to assess from correlation alone that a causal relationship exists between two variables. In order to assert that "X caused Y", a study should be experimental, with control groups and random sampling procedures. Determining causation is a difficult thing to do, and it is a common mistake to assert a cause-and-effect relationship when the study methodology does not support this assertion.
Inferential statistics allow the researcher to begin making inferences about the hypothesis on the basis of the data collected. This means that, while applying inferential statistics to data, the researcher is coming to conclusions about the population at large. Inferential statistics seek to generalize beyond the data in the study to find patterns that ostensibly exist in the target population. This course will not address the specific types of inferential statistics available to the researcher, but a succinct and very useful summary of them, complete with step-by-step examples and helpful descriptions, is available here.(4)
Researchers cannot simply conclude that there is a difference between two groups in a well-constructed study. This difference must be due to the manipulation of the independent variable. No matter how well a researcher designs the study, there always exists a degree of error in the results. This error can be due to individual differences both within and between experimental groups, or the error can be due to systematic differences within the researcher's sample. Irrespective of its source, this error acts as a kind of "noise" in the data. It affects participants' scores on study measures even though it is not the variable of interest. Statistical significance is aimed at determining the probability that the observed result of a study was due to the influence of the independent variable rather than by chance. A result is "statistically significant" at a certain level. For example, a result might be significant at p<.05. "P" represents the probability that the result was due to chance, and .05 represents a 5% probability that the result was due to chance. Therefore, p<.05 means that inferential statistical analysis has indicated that the observed results have over a 95% probability of being due to the influence of the independent variable. The 5% cutoff is generally thought of as the standard for most scientific research. Note that it is theoretically impossible to ever be entirely certain that one's results are not due to chance, as the nature of science is one of falsification, not immutable proof.(5)

Friendly, above and beyond, professional and very very helpful!
I can't remember the name of the gentleman that I spoke to last night when ordering this service. But he was all of the above. He was very patient and took his time explaining everything to me. The do's and don'ts and he was very clear with his instructions, terms of the contract, cancellation policy, etc. He left not stone unturned. He was very friendly and very professional. He knew this product very well and was able to answer all questions asked. I normally don't fill these out but if you could pass on this information to the gentleman that sold me this service, please tell him thank you! He is very fanatical in his work and his exuberance and passion for both the customer and DirecTV showed through the phone. I would recommend others as well as long as he is the sales person handling them. :) Thank you DirecTV for hiring such an outstanding, caring and professional person to handle your business and your customers.

After seeing inside linebackers Ryan Shazier (Pittsburgh, No. 15) and C.J. Mosley (Baltimore, No. 17) and safety Calvin Pryor (New York Jets, No. 18) go off the board, the Packers went on the clock at No. 21 with safety HaHa Clinton-Dix, cornerback Darqueze Dennard and receiver Marqise Lee among the top prospects available.
The Packers went with Clinton-Dix, addressing one of their biggest needs while hoping to strike gold in Alabama again after selecting Offensive Rookie of the Year Eddie Lacy in the second round last year.
The Packers can only hope the fit is as good.
Shortly before the draft, Clinton-Dix put a picture on his Instagram page in which he was wearing a Packers shirt. With the draft being the big event that it is, it received a lot of attention.
"I had been talking to Eddie (Lacy) for a minute and I was looking through my bag and I was like, 'Well, I guess I'll throw this on,' and it looked pretty good on me, so I decided to put it on," Clinton-Dix said. "So, I was just hanging in my room thinking and I decided to take a picture on Instagram and I put it up and it kind of blew up."
Clinton-Dix (6-1 3/8, 208), who ran his 40-yard dash in 4.58 seconds at the Scouting Combine, received most of his accolades during his banner sophomore season of 2012. He finished the year with five interceptions and four additional pass breakups to announce himself as one of the best safeties in the country. His biggest game came against Notre Dame in the BCS Championship Game, when he intercepted a pass, broke up another and recorded half-tackle for a loss.
Clinton-Dix made fewer big plays during his junior season, only intercepting two passes with four more pass breakups.
Ultimately, Clinton-Dix fills a major need for the Packers, who had zero interceptions and zero forced fumbles from their safety position a year ago. He should slide in immediately to be the starter opposite Morgan Burnett.
"I think he's a real all-purpose kind of safety. He's shown an ability to cover down in the slot, he's good in support, physical player," general manager Ted Thompson said. "Also can play well in the back end. I think like Coach (Nick) Saban said at the start of the broadcast, we think he's got very, very good ball skills, and all three of those things are things that we look for in a safety."
Ever since Thompson has been drafting for the Packers, he has preached the need to take the best player available. In this case, the best player available also fit the Packers' biggest need.
"It fit very well for us. There were a lot of good players on the board, but when it came time for our pick, he was the best player available." Thompson said.
For his Alabama career, Clinton-Dix started 20-of-38 games, intercepted seven passes and deflected 10 others. Of his 100 tckles, four were behind the line of scrimmage, and he forced one fumble.
Clinton-Dix was forced to sit out two games during the 2013 season when the NCAA said he violated rules by accepting a $100 loan from a staff assistant. But he was able to continue practicing during the suspension and stayed close to the program.
It was later revealed that he sustained a torn meniscus while preparing to take on rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl. He somehow managed to play in the game, but underwent surgery shortly after. He returned for the Sugar Bowl.
Earlier in the offseason, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he was looking to make Micah Hyde a three-down player. Immediate speculation was that would include a move to safety and a chance to start opposite Morgan Burnett.
Darren Perry left the door open for that possibility.
"It's still early, and Micah's a guy obviously that we like. He's got some ability, some versatility, probably more than anybody we have back there." Perry said. "Micah can play a number of positions and, again, we're still in the early stages of putting this thing together. By the time we get to our preseason games and ready for the regular-season opener, things will have played itself out, and it should be fun to watch."
Clinton-Dix was unsure of what his role was going to be in Green Bay, but is looking forward to playing for the Packers.
"I'm a great player," Clinton-Dix said. "I play fast. I'm a great tackler, and as I get there and learn the system, learn the entire defense and be comfortable, I think I'll be fine."
With safety checked off the to-do list, the Packers enter Friday's second and third rounds with their biggest needs at inside linebacker, receiver and tight end. Their second-round pick is No. 53; they own picks Nos. 85 and 98 in the third round.

Non prescription Accutane, Roaccutane 10, Accutane 100mg, Isotretinoin 5 mg
Stern concluded, Our success in facing the challenge of Accutane will be important in determining whether other effective drugs that cause birth defects become available and how they are used. They lamented, It is disappointing that little change has occurred in the rates of use of the drug in women, in spite of considerable publicity efforts to educate physicians. 67 The September 14th issue of the New England Journal of Medicine contained several irate responses to Stern s piece. Stern replied noting that the New England Journal of Medicine had known of his connection to Roche a fact verified by the editor-in-chief. Robert Stern, a dermatologist in Boston, had written an article describing Accutane as a uniquely effective treatment for acne. Non prescription Accutane. . Likewise, Drs.In the fall a fight broke out in the back pages of the New England Journal of Medicine. He also described the birth defects caused by the drug and outlined Roche s new Pregnancy Prevention Program remarking on the substantial burden placed on physicians. He added, I wrote the Sounding Board article because politics and polemics rather than scientific inquiry were dominating the debate about Accutane. Sidney Wolfe and Andrew Holmes from Public Citizen lambasted Stern for neglecting to disclose his substantial association with Hoffmann-La Roche, and suggested that numbers taken from the Slone Study were inaccurate. Unfortunately, that means that more people are finding their way around the strict controls that are placed around who is prescribed this drug. 68.Interactions: There is a good chance that Roaccutane may react with other medicines or substance you are currently using, so before using these tablets or capsules its best to check with your physician or pharmacist or any medical expert or go through the detailed information regarding Roaccutane provided by the manufacturer. The high price of isotretinoin means that it is a popular product on online, discount pharmacies. Gerald Faich and Franz Rosa argued that there have probably been many more Accutane babies than have been reported.

02 wrx... Is it really worth it?
Hello everybody,
I have a bit of a dilemma that i know you fellow NorCal drivers can help with....
This is my first topic and im fairly new to the wrx community but i've been reading some of the topics on this forum (wrxtuners) for a while now, i know that this forums contains a lot of good information and has loads of people with tons of experience so thats why i brought this question here. I know there is a search feature and i've researched a lot of info on the wrx but i wanted a more "personal answer"...
I've been looking to buy a wrx since i first drove my friends 04 stage 2 wagon about 2 years ago and i've come across a few but never one that actually stood out.... BUT!!!! This weekend (my birthday) i came across a 2002 wrx at a dealership that just kind of stood out like no other, it has a beautiful body no dents, perfect paint job, maybe 1 or 2 dings on the bottom of the front bumper but nothing major. It has 98k miles, factory boost gauge, a very clean engine with a few upgrades (wiring, exhaust, etc) it has Bronze Rotas, an axelback exhaust (not sure the brand), and a couple more minor mods.
[B][U][SIZE="4"]So my question is: Should i trade my tC for the wrx?[/SIZE][/U][/B]
I currently own a 2006 Scion tC i've had it since Mile #3 so this is my baby and it has 60k mile on it right now. I talked to the dealer a bit and it seemed that they would want to do a straight trade, what do you guys think?
Im very sorry for rambling on!
Does this wrx have a carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber trunk and spoiler also by any chance?
Heh, you're asking on a WRX forum dude. Yes, you should do it. ;) What color is it?
Factory boost gauge ?
Post up pics as well as whatever else it has on it. Straight on the shlonghead you will need to do the timing bely (100K service) which is not cheap... unless it's already done. Among a few other things...
Anybody else notice that the op posted this a year and a half ago and nobody responded until yesterday? I'm pretty sure we're not gonna hear back from him/her :yawn:

tiles around a bath tub
once i build a frame for my recessed bath tub that comes with one of those exposed walls (not sure the exact name you call it), should i first put tile on the floor to go all the way to the 2x4 sole plate and then the tub over it (so that the tile actually reaches under the lip of the tub) or the tub first all the way down to the uncovered floor (concrete in this case as it is a basement apartment) and then tile to reach the edge where it meets the tub ?
- a -
Tub first :thumbsup:
Tub first. Angus is right! :thumbsup:

Heavily armed pro-Russian gunmen last night seized another town in east Ukraine, storming the town hall in Kostyantynivka and setting up barricades.
Kostyantynivka has 80,000 inhabitants and is located mid-way between the flashpoint town of Slaviansk and the regional hub city of Donetsk, both of which are also under the control of separatists. In Donetsk, a pro-Russian crowd of around 400 took control of a state television centre under the nose of Ukrainian police.
US President Barack Obama warned Europe not to duck tougher sanctions on Russia, as the White House revealed that new measures to be imposed today will hit Russia's defence industry. Tony Blinken, the US deputy national security adviser, said that America would restrict the sale of high-tech equipment to the Russian military, and impose restrictions on the country's defence industry.
Separatists paraded two groups of alleged "spies" before television cameras in Slaviansk. One group, accused of being Ukrainian secret agents, were filmed stripped of their trousers and wearing bloodstained blindfolds, having apparently been badly beaten. The others were an eight-strong team of European observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, who were arrested on Saturday on suspicion of being spies for Nato. In contrast with the Ukrainian prisoners, they said they had not been mistreated, although their captors insisted that they would only be handed over in exchange for pro-Russian activists arrested by the Government in Kiev.

Where I stayed
What I did
Laze, laze, laze on da beach
Paul and I headed off to a couple of islands that are often regarded as a big jewel in Malaysia's crown, the Perhentian Islands. Two islands, one know as the big island (Besar) and the other known as small island (Kecil). I'd been there a few years before and had loved it, so I was looking forward to my return to this tropical paradise. We decided to stay on Long Beach on the small island as this seemed to have the biggest choice of restaurants and places to stay.
Unfortunately, I was in for a big disappointment. The beautiful bay was taken over by small taxi boats, the white powdery beach was covered in multi-coloured, rusting umbrellas, make-shift rickety bars stood in the background and worst of all, there was rubbish everywhere. It was very, very sad. Here is a gem of a place, with some of the clearest, bluest water coupled with perfect white sand that is being systematically ruined by the very same people who need to make a living off it
Having said that, we still enjoyed lazing on the beach. The sea was just amazing and as long as we avoided being hit by one of the taxi boats being raced along the bay by some kid, we were fine. Our chalets were also pretty good, and reading other people's reviews on Tripadvisor it seemed that we were quite lucky to find a place that was clean and had decent food. It had a great chill-out area with views of the sea and we spent hours chilling out there, chatting to other travellers. But for the first time in our 10 months of travel we felt angry and disgusted by how a beautiful place was being ruined.
Karen had told me so much about the Perhenthian islands and the quality of the beach, the water and the diving that I was really exited about getting there. On some hands the place lived up to it's expectations and on many others it failed miserably. I really could not relax in the ocean as the taxi boats were coming in so fast and from so many angles that you constantly had to be on the look out. I am convinced that they will kill someone in the next few years. We feel so strongly about the plight of these beautiful islands that we are going to write an e-mail to the local government.
We did go on a dive one day
The islands are really expensive too. Booze is almost the same as London prices and the food is priced high too especially for Malaysia. You would not mind if the place was pristine but when you see all the garbage you start to wonder if it's worth it.
We are now on the edge of the rain forest called Taman Negara and amazingly up to date with this blog! We came here via Kota Bharau a nondescript town that did not have much to see. We are really excited about the trekking in the rain forest and seeing all the weird and wonderful animal life.
See you when we get out!
All our love as always,

Democrat Mark Dayton's campaign announced today that he met with top budget experts on Wednesday. Dayton met with several former Finance Commissioners. The group included John Gunyou, who served under GOP Gov. Arne Carlson), Peggy Ingison, who served under Gov. Pawlenty, Jay Kiedrowski, who served under Gov. Rudy Perpich and Pam Wheelock, who served under Gov. Ventura.
Minnesota is facing a nearly $6 billion projected budget deficit which the next governor (dayton or Republican Tom Emmer) will have to make a top priority.
Dayton released this statement about the meeting:
"Governor Perpich had a quote in his office that said 'none of us is as smart as all of us,' and it will take all of us coming together to solve the budget deficit we're currently facing. As we wait for the results of the election to be confirmed I will continue to prepare for the task ahead, and welcome ideas from all corners of the state. The election is now over and it is incumbent upon all of us to put politics aside and do what is in the best interest of the people of Minnesota."

Families will be the first to feel the pinch as petrol prices soar to an all-time high, a Rotorua community worker says.
The cost of fuel reached a national average of $2.23 a litre this week - its highest level since May last year when it peaked at $2.22.
Bryan Martin, director of community ministries for the Rotorua Salvation Army, said many people would have to cut back on "non-essential" activities.
"Family outings, where you use your car for trips, will be the first to go," he said. "It's really hard for parents because there is not much they can do about it."
Several stations in Rotorua were offering prices below the $2 mark this week, giving local motorists the nation's best deal on fuel, but AA spokesman Mark Stockdale has warned prices are likely to get even steeper.
There were various reasons for the latest price hike, including increased taxes and import fuel costs, he said.
"What we're facing - amongst a lot of things - is inflationary cost increases.
"Wages have increased [and] transport costs have increased. And therefore, it costs more to ship fuel and truck fuel."
Mr Stockdale said fuel companies were also partly to blame.
"They are passing the costs on, but also they are making more money," he said. "The amount they earn now is higher than a few years ago."
He recommended motorists regularly maintain their cars and drive in a fuel-efficient manner to ensure they get the most from their money.
"For many people they don't have a choice - they need their cars," he said. "So they will have to cut back in other areas [and] make sure they think about how they are driving."
Motorists in the regional centres had a better chance at saving on fuel than their big-city counterparts, he said.
"Because of regional competition amongst some of the stations, sometimes the prices in rural areas can be lower."
Despite the record, University of Canterbury economics professor Eric Crampton said prices were actually higher in 1981, when adjusted for inflation.
"Back then petrol prices were less than 60c a litre. While that sounds wonderful, when you adjust for inflation, that is $2.46 per litre in today's dollars, much more than we are paying now."
Five ways to save:
Regular maintenance checks
Checking your tyre pressure at least once a month can save you up to 18c a litre on fuel.
Lighten the load
Remove all unnecessary objects. A heavier vehicle has to work harder and will use more fuel.
Drive smoothly
Go easy on the accelerator and brake pedals. This will not only save fuel but is also better for your car in the long run.
Watch your air con
Air conditioning is more fuel efficient than having your windows down as this creates drag. But don't over do it as it can use up to 8 per cent more petrol.
Turn it off
As a rule, you should turn your engine off if you're standing still for more than 30 seconds. Also avoid peak hour traffic.

Subscribe to Oneindia News
Lucknow, July 03 (ANI): Cutting across the party lines, opposition parties today slammed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav over his proposal that enables lawmakers to a buy car from the Local Area Development fund.

Small young deer taste better than big old deer.
It's just that you can't make decent knife handles from spikes.
Small young deer taste better than big old deer.
It's just that you can't make decent knife handles from spikes.
Ha-Ha-Ha,,,,,your right about that!
I've killed a few deer but never with a handgun. I always thought it would be a thrill to do so. Congratulations.
CONGRATS Capt.!!
What happened, did ya' shoot all the pigs in your area? I haven't seen many "pork reports" in awhile!
I took my .454 Bull out deer hunting last year, unfortunately it was a thin year at our camp (which is not the norm) so I didn't get a chance for a shot. Maybe this year!!
Very nice shot,
what was your position? Were you posted? Was it an open field shot?
Ha-Ha-Ha,,,,MoMan,Im up to 11 hogs this year and most of the time I just forget to take a pic. Plus its late when we get finished with the hunt. But we still have plenty of hogs.
Pic, yes It was in a field that was about 165 yards deep and about 30yards wide. The blind is about 4' off the ground at the short end of it. The deer (A doe, yearling, and this buck) came in to the far side of the field. We have a feeder just about in the middle of the field so I waited for them to get a little bit closer.
The rest for the gun I had to deal with was a 4'section of 1" PVC that was held in place by a wire that was ran through it. Not to steady to say the least......
Most of the time the Boars are no good,,but we eat all the Sows.
No way!! I dont think Ill ever stop hog hunting.
I just got home from the hunting club (10:46PM),,,,shot a small doe with my 45-70.....
Ill be going again this coming weekend for the hogs. Ill take pics if I get one.
Good luck... I'll be looking for your "hog" report!
Nice shot, Rick.
I like to practice hunting with each of my hunting weapons from time to time as well.
My recurve bow is effect to 50 yards.
My S&W Model 29 to about 50 as well, so you made a quite good shot with your scoped 454.
My compound bow is effect to 70 yards.
My slug shotgun is good to about 100 yards.
For everything else there is the Remington 700 which is effective to at least 500 yards.
But it is great to get out there occasionally with something else besides the Remington.
Looking forward to your hog hunting report.

That was the scene at the entrance to last Saturday's MnGOP Convention. Dusty Trice, noted and intrepid blogger and my "go to" in-the-field reporter for my radio show, has video – it's beyond the fold.
A little background (as I've written about here and here and here):
Lieutenant Colonel Joe Repya was so disgusted by the (s)election of FEC Tony and MudSlingerMike (a/k/a, "The MSM"), that he published an op/ed in the PiPress on the reasons he was leaving the Republican Party, now led by FEC Tony and MudSlinger Mike (a/k/a, "The MSM"). While that Op/Ed is no longer available on the PiPress website, comments on that Op/Ed are. Nathan Hansen, GOP Deputy Chair of CD-4, did comment – here's what he had to say:
I am Deputy Chair of the Fourth Congressional District and one of the newer anti-war Republican activists. It's difficult for words to describe how happy I am that you are leaving our Party. The roots of your "neconservative" philosophy lie in Straussian Trotzkyite Communism. "Corporate money" influencing our Party? Nothing compared to the damage your military industrial complex (that Eisenhower warned us about) has wreaked on our Party and our Country.
I hope you will find a happy home among your fellow communists. Your days of endless illegal wars and military industrial complex domination of our party are over.
Obama is ramping up his War in Afghanistan and continues to illegally bomb Pakistan. Perhaps you can join him to satiate your bloodlust. (emphasis added) (PiPress)
That's comment number 15 from the link, above.
Well, there's a lot – a LOT – of veterans of the Viet Nam War that remember being greeted none-to-nicely, upon arriving "home." Some of 'em remember bein' spit on – yes, literally SPIT ON – upon arriving home from rice paddys. And Nathan Hansen's comments reminded them exactly of that – reminded them of bein' SPIT ON.
As written before, how did ol' FEC Tony handle Nathan Hansen figuratively spitting on Lieutenant Colonel Joe Repya in particular, and all – ALL – veterans in general?
Well, again – as I wrote: GOPer Party Official Trashes Veteran Joe Repya And Is Rewarded.
And that "reward" was a prestigeous committee chair assignment at last Saturday's GOP Convention.
Now, to be fair, it should be noted that prior to the GOP Convention, Nathan Hansen did a non-apology apology.
Yeah, "right."
That "Me-a Not-a Culpa" was B as in "Bull" and S as in "(stuff)" then and it still is now. Nathan Hansen may have apologized to veterans at the GOP Convention, but as of this writing, he still hasn't apologized to Lieutenant Colonel Joe Repya, and he still has his B as in "Bull" and S as in "(stuff)" law suits going against veterans Joe Salmon and Richard Glasgow.
Which, of course, leads to the following conclusion: somehow, I don't think Nathan Hansen's ties to FEC Tony and MudSlingerMike (a/k/a "The MSM") are going to be forgotten anytime soon.
Oh – and Dusty Trice's video, of the Veterans protesting the MN GOP? Let's look!!!
Say, Michael? You never served, nor did Nathan. Well, neither did ol' FEC Tony, neither. Here's something y'all should know: veterans got long memories.

School spending cap part of Douglas property tax reform proposal
11/21/06 12:00AM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
(Host) Governor Jim Douglas says a cap on local school spending will once again be an important part of a property tax reform proposal that he'll present to lawmakers in January.
Douglas says he plans to stick with that approach, even though lawmakers rejected the plan last session.
VPR's Bob Kinzel reports:
(Kinzel) Governor Jim Douglas says it's clear that property tax reform is the top priority for the 2007 session and Douglas says it's critical for the Legislature to consider both the funding of education and ways to control future costs.
That's why he plans to re-introduce a proposal to cap local school budgets. Under Douglas's plan, spending would be capped at 4 % in the first year and 3 1/2% in the following years. The cap could be overridden if 60% of local voters support a higher amount.
The governor says he's not discouraged that the plan received very little support among Democrats and Republicans last winter:
(Douglas) "If I have a good idea and it's rejected once, I'm not going to just walk away and say I'm never going to offer it again. If it's something I feel is right for our state then I'm certainly going to continue to propose it. I'm continuing to talk about it because Vermonters think it's a good idea. Over the last 6 or 8 months as I've traveled the state I've heard a lot about it. And Vermonters have told me as I've campaigned and sought their support that they think the property tax cap makes a lot of sense."
(Kinzel) Douglas says it really doesn't matter what school funding system is used if costs aren't brought under control.
(Douglas) "The bottom line is that it's a spending problem. We have property taxes rising at double the rate of inflation or more it's just not affordable for Vermont families."
(Kinzel) Windham senator Peter Shumlin will serve as the president of the Senate in January after being out of politics for the last 4 years. Shumlin isn't enthusiastic about the cap but he says everything should be on the table for discussion.
(Shumlin) "I know that there are areas where Democrats are not supposed to go and I know there are areas where Republicans generally don't go. I'm saying let's put it all on the table and have an honest discussion about it because the problem is huge. So we've really got to go after all the sacred cows. I'll put mine on the table if everyone else will put theirs on the table."
(Kinzel) Shumlin says he thinks the factors affecting property tax reform this year are quite from previous sessions:
(Shumlin) "The problem this time is cost. There isn't some barrel of money there to be discovered that no one has discovered. No one's going to pull a rabbit out of the hat and say, hey, I've got the solution, you're going to be happy.' And I think that the governor and the Senate and House have to collaboratively come up with a process where we really look at what's driving the cost and what we can do to change our system to capture those costs."
(Kinzel) Shumlin says it will very difficult to pass a meaningful property tax reform plan unless lawmakers and the governor are able to reach a consensus on this issue.

gamer tag T Niglit,
First of all I get tired of reading some of these reviews because they are way too Long.
This one is simple, madden 08 for the next generation consoles Xbox 360 and PS3 are not by
any means the same game as madden 07. What I mean by this is the controls and options
take you back to the good old days when you could actually individually alter the play after you have picked it. Example, I can choose to put two defensive players against one wide receiver. with Madden 07 on the xbox 360 this was not a possibility. the game play for madden 08 is great specifically the controls. If you are someone who doesn't know much about football and just pick the same plays and that's that, then there is no reason for you to buy madden 08. If you like to take it to the next level then there is every reason to buy madden 08

The New York Mets scored nine runs, but it wasn't enough as they dropped the series opener to the Colorado Rocies last night:
Starting in place of the injured Mike Pelfrey, Chris Swinden allowed six runs — five earned — on seven hits while failing to get out of the fifth inning:
"This wasn't a good way to go out and show myself," Schwinden told reporters following his poor outing. "But, hopefully I get another opportunity to do that."
Terry Collins, however, said the youngster will get another opportunity to show he belong, adding that the rookie will start again on Wednesday in Houston:
[Schwinden] is going to get an extended look. We brought him here for that and we'll give him an opportunity to show us what he can do."
5TH INNING DEBACLE: After the Mets took a four-run lead in the top half of the fifth inning, the Rockies responded with an 11-run bottom half that featured 11 runs (10 earned) on four errors and seven hits, including a pair of three-run homeruns. The first by Carlos Gonzalez off starter Chris Schwinden. The second 3-run jack came off the bat of Dexter Fowler against Manny Acosta; who allowed seven runs during the frame.
HISTORIC NIGHT OVERSHADOWED: Scott Hairston became one of ten players in franchise history to hit for the cycle.
It was great while it was happened, but when they kept scoring runs, it just really wasn't that enjoyable, to say the leas. … I think I got to 3-2 [in the fourth at-bat]. Anywhere close I was going to try to drive the ball. And I was able to do that. It was great while it lasted. It's definitely bittersweet. … It's a big feat. It's something a lot of players can't say they've done. I'm proud of that."
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, here are the others:
- Jose Reyes (June 21, 2006 vs. Cincinnati)
- Eric Valent (July 29, 2004 at Montreal)
- John Olerud (Sept. 11, 1997 vs. Montreal)
- Alex Ochoa (July 3, 1996 at Philadelphia)
- Kevin McReynolds (Aug. 1, 1989 at St. Louis)
- Keith Hernandez (July 4, 1985 at Atlanta)
- Mike Phillips (June 25, 1976 at Chicago)
- Tommie Agee (July 6, 1970 vs. St. Louis)
- Jim Hickman (Aug. 7, 1963 vs. St. Louis)
NINE RUNS JUST WASN'T ENOUGH: Four Mets batters collected extra hits, two of which (Scott Hairston and Ruben Tejada) had four each:
THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW: Dillon Gee will look to help the Mets rebound from Friday night's disaster as he squares off against Jeremy Guthrie.
