Beck plays hard, shows very good range and is a hit-and-wrap type of tackler who can generate enough pop on contact. He is a smart athlete who makes decent reads and is quick to react to blocking schemes and formations. He has the sudden burst to slip blocks on the move and is very active working down the line.
He made good strides in 2004 as a blitzer, as his rover time allowed him to be uncovered more often, giving him a free lane to make the play behind the line of scrimmage. He needs to do a better job of using his hands, as he lacks ideal size and strength to face up and disengage when taking blockers head on. His marginal change of direction skills are evident in pass coverage, as he gathers himself in transition, forcing him to take bad angles and miss tackles trying to recover.
Beck is better playing in the short zone, where he shows better awareness making plays in front of him. He is not an effective tackler in space, as he does not open his hips properly or show enough flexibility. He also struggles to use his hands effectively to prevent blockers from attacking his knees. Still, you notice that he has been highly productive making the clutch plays.
He will sometimes take on blockers with the wrong shoulder, which can result in getting stonewalled. He needs to improve his overall strength, as Beck can not be considered a knock-back tackler, especially since he tends to make too many low tackles working near the pile. Before 2003, he was not really an effective blitzer, but he developed better timing and anticipation skills to combine with his speed to create the lane needed to get to the quarterback in the pocket.
The thing you have to like about Beck is his quickness, high motor and burst on the blitz. However, he needs to show better anticipation skills in pass coverage and must improve his power base, as he lacks strength to stack and control. The level of competition he faced was marginal, but he has produced good numbers. For a team looking for a Cover-2 linebacker or one to play on the weak side, they could find a nice late round project in this player. He might be like Rodney Daingerfield (gets no respect) in some scouts' eyes, but based on his speed and production to date, I feel he is capable of contributing at the next level.

A model aircraft is "[…] only as good as the effort that went into the research of it." Dan Santich
The Essential Guide to Buying Your First Scale Model Aircraft Kit
When it comes to buying plastic model airplane kits you can never have too much information. Even experienced modellers can pick up tidbits of information that will prove useful. So, whether you are a first-time buyer or have experience in buying, you should find the following tips useful.
One of the general principles to use in buying a model aircraft is that there is a strong connection between the amount of technical information the manufacturer provides and the detail level of the scale model.
That rule is: the more detail there is, the more accurate the details of the scale model.
Choosing a Vendor
As a first time buyer, you want to be sure to go to a store that is both knowledgeable and provides high-quality materials so you can get the maximum benefit from your experience.
The best way to do this is to employ another general principle: if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
It is a good practice to consider vendors you have done business with before. Did you buy a model car through a website and it turned out that the plastic was so flimsy that it cracked when you were building it? Or, did you go to a website, order a model boat, and find that the product was of high quality and the directions were very clear? If you haven't ordered models before, that's fine. Just ask around to see if anyone has already ordered one, and could recommend you a good source (we have great Facebook and G+ communities here and even an active G+ group).
Finally, it's important to check the online reviews, even if someone recommends a specific hobby website. You can help yourself tremendously by taking the time to do your homework about the type of aircraft you are interested in buying, any local dealers, and what experienced online buyers are saying in blogs and on discussion boards.
If you know someone who has personal experience in dealing with a vendor, talk to them about the pros and cons in dealing with the vendor. No vendor is perfect, no matter what your friends say. A vendor can know a lot but still sell low-quality material models. Go beyond just the physical aspects of the model and also consider the instructions that come with the model.
Checking Out Prices
There are some very serious people about modelling who are willing to pay some quite high prices to pursue their hobby. As a first time buyer, you do not need to max out your credit card or bank account to get started. So, if you are a first-time buyer, it is strongly suggested that you aim low on the price end.
Another important principle: Start low and aim high.
Why? Because despite your best intentions, building a scale aircraft model is a skill that improves over time. Several years from now you will look back on your first attempt with sentimental tears. But it is equally likely you will have taken your work of art and hid it in a place where no man has gone before – or will ever. You can learn from your mistakes, but you don't have to pay a high price for them.
Another consideration is whether you will finish the project at all. Prices for kits can be amazingly high, and spending money on a model that potentially goes unfinished or takes years to complete has to be given very careful consideration. Rushing through it is a mistake, but taking years to complete it is also a mistake. You will fit somewhere between these two ends of the spectrum, but until you are sure you know where you want to go with model building in the future, it is best to keep your sights low and your price lower. The general rule is to take it slow and create a history of completed projects before spending big money.
Size of Scale
Or maybe it is the Scale of Size. In any event, as a first-time buyer, you need to keep the scale small. The more popular 1/72nd scale is a good starting point, though a 1/144th scale is best for beginners.
There is a general principle to be applied with regards to scale – the devil is in the details.
You have probably heard of it before, and when it comes to building scale models, the details can stress you out to the point of giving up before you actually get started. It takes time to develop modelling skills, and even if it comes naturally to you, there will still be a learning curve.
So, the first time buyer needs to start out with the smallest scale, as the larger ones have more details; learning how to craft the smaller scales will greatly improve your skills and take advantage of the amount of detail on larger scale models.
Difficulty Level
While we recommend starting with a smaller scale if you find yourself catching on quickly and want greater challenges, do one beginner level and then move up to an intermediate level. Just because you're a beginner, that doesn't mean you need to stick to beginner level all the time, although it is definitely a good place to start. Feel free to try an intermediate level model aircraft if you have enough time on your hands. However, save the advanced models for after you've gained some more experience.
The guiding principle here is – do not tie your own hands trying to meet someone else's expectations.
This also applies in reverse. If you feel staying at a beginner level for a while is best for you, then do it. If you are on a tight budget, it may be the best way to go. Building scale aircraft models is both an art and science, and you can practice your skills on all scales of aircraft.
It is very important to figure out which difficulty level a scale model is before you buy it. Sometimes, vendors help you with descriptions of each difficulty. As an example, a beginner level model may only require fitting pieces together and applying stickers. An advanced aircraft may require more difficult assembly, detailed painting, etc.
Model kits usually come in one of the five skill levels that describe how difficult the kit will be to be finished:
- Level 1: very easy model kits. Pieces join together and don't require glue and paint to complete.
- Level 2: easy kits; they need glue and painting to fully complete. This type of model kits usually contains less than 100 pieces.
- Level 3: moderate kits, with over 100 pieces.
- Level 4: advanced model kits with extra-fine details. They definitely include over 100 pieces.
- Level 5: for expert modellers only. These kits include super-detailed elements, with hundreds of pieces, and usually have moving parts, such as rotating propellers.
Occasionally, you'll discover model kits with no skill level displayed. In these situations, you can safely consider that it is at least a 4 difficulty level kit.
Paint Scheme
Experienced modellers love a complex paint scheme for both the end result, but mainly because of the challenge of painting. Most of these schemes, like a WWII German aircraft camouflage pattern, for instance, are hard to achieve and often call for complex masking and a top quality airbrush. So, pick an aircraft that has a rather dull colour paint scheme, for your first scale model kits, with just a couple of colours; a WWI fighter could be a good idea. It is quite depressing to finish a model and then ruin it just because the paint scheme was too complicated.
You may want to start a building scale model aircraft as a hobby, but you probably don't have an unlimited amount of time. Some vendors actually list how much time it takes to complete a model. If the time isn't clearly listed, you can do one of two things:
- first, you can take into account the difficulty level, materials required, etc. and figure out how much time the project will take from that information. Usually, painting and dealing with advanced assembly can be big time sinks.
- if that doesn't work, you can simply ask customer service and their knowledgeable staff should be able to assist you.
Quality of Material
Novices who are just beginning to enter into scale aircraft modelling have already been cautioned not to spend too much at the beginning. But with lower price comes a lower quality of material.
The reality is: working with a lower quality material means you should expect lower quality results.
It only makes sense. Building a desk from thick cardboard will end up with a different result than by using wood. Keep your perspective and expectations within reason. Avoid comparing your work with others until you have some experience under your belt and have a better idea of what you can expect.
As you develop your modelling skills, maintain a proper perspective of your results. Your initial efforts will almost certainly pale in comparison to your results years later. One of the biggest reasons for this is because you are paying more for models and are working with higher quality material.
Total Number of Parts in the Model
The "devil is in the details" also applies when deciding on how many parts of the aircraft there will be to build. Beginners may look at their first model, usually made of plastic, as a relatively simple job. If you know what photo-etched brass and resin parts of the model are and have built them, then you have advanced beyond the beginner level. The greater the number of parts, the more detail will be required, and the more advanced skills will be needed to create a work of art.
One rule you can apply to almost everything you do is: it is always easy to do until you have to do it.
Your first scale model airplane will seem like an easy task – just like mowing the lawn. It looks easy, and in some ways it is. But to do it right and continue to get better at it requires patience and experience. It is more than just going through the motions. It is about finding better ways to do things and developing your own personal signature to your work.
A related topic to the detail is the amount of available time you have to commit to model building. The more parts there are, the more detail there will be, and the longer it will take to complete the building project. When buying, consider how much time you have and how much time you want to spend building. Both of these measurements will change over time. Many kits will display the average amount of time it will take to complete building the model.
Building Scale Aircraft Models – General Considerations
Building a model aircraft has some particular challenges that are unique from other types of models. One of those areas is the canopy of your model plane, a delicate element which is usually made of clear plastic. Fitting it correctly is one challenge but applying the cement can be a greater one because even small mistakes stand out. So choose a model that has as little clear plastic as possible to minimise your frustration level. Helicopters, in particular, should be avoided until you get some experience under your belt.
One of the biggest challenges for model aircraft builders is being able to create the metallic finish so often seen on planes. Plastic is a very difficult material to get the right paint colour and finish to come through as realistic, so like clear plastic, keep your expectations low until you get some experience with painting. Be warned that the metallic finish would cost you more money for the special paints and colours needed to achieve the desired result.
A Final Word
Creating model aircraft can be a great way to spend time, especially for beginners just getting into the hobby. Just be sure to follow the advice above, and you'll be on your way to successfully building a model.
Approach buying and building your first model as an experiment of sorts. Maybe you have decided to build a model of one of those legendary aircraft, but you really won't know how much you will like it in the end, or how much time you will have to spend on it. Spending a lot of money and then seeing it in a heap on a desk or workbench three weeks later will unsettle you. Keep things simple, go into it with the attitude that you will enjoy it, and be patient with yourself. As most first time builders discover, you will be proud to have completed your first project and will show it to your friends.
We hope this brief guide has been useful to you and wish you the best on starting and completing your first modelling project. Visit our website often to read more about scale aircraft modelling and experiencing the entire model aircraft universe.

The History of the Radio: the 21st century Internet radio Streaming Internet connection, no RF, IF, etc. Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) alternative to FM Satellite Radio XM Radio, Sirius Satellite Radio etc… Going from analog "payload" to digital "payload" However, radio itself still "analog" up to the decoder stage The Fundamental Blocks in a Radio Increase amplitude of signal multiply by constant Move signal from RF to baseband (original signal) HOW? Remove frequency components HOW? Fourier Series Expansion The Theory Behind Radio Technology: Fourier Series Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) French mathematician and physicist Idea: "any" periodic function can be decomposed into an (infinite) sum of sines and cosines Fourier applied it to to problems of heat flow. 1824: gases in the atmosphere increase the surface temperature of the Earth. Fourier described the greenhouse effect! The Theory Behind Radio Technology: Fourier Series Fourier Series describes the frequency content of periodic signals Different Time Domain signals have different harmonics (# and magnitude) Example: Square Pulse, infinite # harmonics! With 250 harmonics: Gibbs phenomenon at discontinuity Example: Sawtooth Wave Example: Triangle Wave Rect-wave: poor TD quality with 25 harmonics Sawtooth-wave: poor TD quality with 25 harmonics Triangle-wave: pretty good TD quality with 10 harmonics Some TD signals are suited better for transmission than others (less harmonics) Example: Fourier Transform (right) logarithm of the magnitude of the FT of Fourier Courtesy of Thomas F. Weiss Massachusetts Institute of Technology What is Modulation Modulation: multiplication of baseband signal by a carrier wave Periodic signal can be expanded into series of sine + cosine apply the above expression to every single one of those. Move arbitrary baseband signal into higher bands Fundamental Blocks: Why is Modulation Necessary? At least 2 reasons: 1. different signals from different systems do not interfere Example: - broad band cable services - Public TV and Radio (wireless services) 2. move the payload signal to frequency where it can be transmitted most easily Problem: - signal attenuation in wires - free space signal attenuation What is Filtering?

Britons urged not to vote by post
From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!
Wednesday, April 13, 2005
United Kingdom — The British Electoral Reform Society, Electoral Commission and the Association of Chief Police Officers have discouraged the British people from using the postal voting system, and asked campaigners in the general election not to take part in applying for or returning postal votes.
The call comes one week after a Labour Councillor in Birmingham was jailed for election fraud, after party campaigners collected blank ballot papers from confused voters in a trial of a postal-only election.
On Sunday the judge in the trial of Muhammed Hussain, Richard Mawrey QC, described the postal voting system as hopelessly flawed, and said the government was in denial about the problems.

Christine Lee Zilka's story, "Bile," appeared in the Fall 2003 issue of ZYZZYVA. Written from the point of view of the youngest of two children living in Pasadena, the story examines the passing of bitterness from one generation to another, as a Korean father bred on battle forces his children to appreciate his harder life growing up through war. Zilka portrays through a first-generation American family how the culture of war —the "ancestral fear" that chases a new age — cannot be properly digested.
"Bile" is framed by the ritualistic tasting of a gall bladder, something the father procured from a trapped bear. The narrator witnesses her brother, Eugene, being forced to lick the bladder, saying, "I can only tell you the before and the after, because I did not watch them feed Eugene the bile."

Virginia 43, Richmond 19
Associated Press | Last updated September 01, 2012
Michael Rocco threw for 311 yards and a touchdown and Virginia beat Richmond 43-19 in the season opener for both teams Saturday. The game marked the start of Danny Rocco's career as the Spiders' coach, but his nephew and the Cavaliers had their way pretty much all afternoon. Rocco finished 25 for 37 with a touchdown on a short pass that Darius Jennings took 51 yards for a score. Kevin Parks ran for two touchdowns and Perry Jones ran for another for Virginia. The Cavaliers took a 16-0 lead in the first 6:27, had to settle for two field goals in the second quarter and put the game away with touchdown runs by Parks in the third quarter and Jones early in the fourth. Heralded Alabama transfer Phillip Sims, who replaced Rocco with the score 36-12 in the fourth quarter, was 5 for 6 on Virginia's final scoring drive.

Wireless communication is susceptible to radio interference and jamming attacks, which prevent the reception of communications. Most existing anti-jamming work does not consider the location information of radio interferers and jammers. However, this information can provide important insights for networks to manage its resource in different layers and to defend against radio interference. In this paper, we investigate issues associated with localizing jammers in wireless networks. In particular, we formulate the jamming effects using two jamming models: region-based and signal-to-noise-ratio(SNR)-based; and we categorize network nodes into three states based on the level of disturbance caused by the jammer. By exploiting the states of nodes, we propose to localize jammers in wireless networks using a virtual-force iterative approach. The virtual-force iterative localization scheme is a range-free position estimation method that estimates the position of a jammer iteratively by utilizing the network topology. We have conducted experiments to validate our SNR-based jamming model and performed extensive simulation to evaluate our approach. Our simulation results have showed that the virtual-force iterative approach is highly effective in localizing a jammer in various network conditions when comparing to existing centroid-based localization approaches.

Where Are We Eating?
I love a good twist on that old breakfast standard, eggs benedict. At this Houston restaurant -- a classic in its own right -- the recent brunch special featured fresh lobster atop creamed spinach and crumbly biscuits, all topped with a buttery, citrusy hollandaise that I wanted to suck up through a straw. Look familiar?
Leave your best guess as to where we're eating this week in the comments section below.

"Radiation is continuing to leak out of the reactors. The situation is not stable at all," says Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York and the City College of New York, in an interview with Democracy Now! April 13. "The slightest disturbance could set off a full-scale meltdown at three nuclear power stations, far beyond what we saw at Chernobyl... you're looking at basically a ticking time bomb."
Dr. Kaku was very critical of the Japanese government response to the ongoing crisis.

text: We acquired our first Register Texas Longhorn Cattle in about 1985 starting with just a handful. Like most people our herd had grown over the years in both size and quality. Our current herd sires include PCC Rim Rock(J.P. Rio Grande X PCC Horizon), Brazos Rose Ranger(M Arrow Wow X Jamakizm's Alphie), Xcelerator(WS Amazon X Texana Van Horne), and Ringman BCB(Working Man Chex X Ringa Dinger). Auze shown in the picture above recently passed but leaves his mark on the herd. He was a big bull with 85" TTT at less than six years old. He will be missed. We favor the larger frame longhorn cattle with the traditional Texas Twist. The Brazos Rose Ranch is located in Falls County, Texas just south of Waco along the Brazos River.

SEN. JIM DEMINT (R), SOUTH CAROLINA: Carol, it's good to be with you.
If there's one thing we should agree on as congressmen and senators, is to stop spending more than we're bringing in. But, unless we have a constitutional requirement to do it, I'm afraid we're going to bankrupt our country in the next year or two.
COSTELLO: And by constitutional requirement, you're talking about an amendment to balance the budget.
I also want to go over this pledge and what's in the pledge that you want lawmakers and also the Republican presidential candidates to sign. Included in the debt pledge is substantial spending cuts, spending caps and, of course, that balanced budget amendment.
And, you know, the thing is when you sign a pledge like that or require a signature, it doesn't leave much room for compromise. And isn't compromise what we really need to come to some conclusion with how to deal with the debt in this country?
DEMINT: Carol, first of all, it's not my pledge. There are dozens of outside groups representing millions of Americans who want Congress to take a stand. And there's plenty of room to negotiate how much we cut, what the caps look like over the next several years.
But the one point we really can't negotiate is this idea of balancing the budget, that we will balance the budget.
This gives us a lot of room to operate, because if we pass it, then the states have to ratify it. That's likely to take two or three years and then it takes effect five years after the states ratify it. So, we're not talking about anything draconian or immediate, other than some cuts this year, and some controls on spending in the out- years that will bring us towards a balanced budget.
COSTELLO: Why do we need this pledge then? I mean, if it doesn't involve anything draconian and there's some wiggle room and maybe a compromise can be reached, why a pledge? Why do you need to sign a pledge?
DEMINT: Well, Carol, it comes from a lot of experience here. There's really an addiction to spending here in Washington. We've tried before with laws like Gramm-Rudman and what they call PAYGO and budget points of order. But every new Congress, they come in and change it and blow through it.
We've got more debt as a nation than we can sustain. The president apparently doesn't even see it as a problem because his budget doubles it. In the negotiations we've had so far with the Democrats, no significant cuts have been achieved. The only --
COSTELLO: See, Senator, it seems that we keep hearing the same things from both sides of the aisles, the same arguments. There's no room for compromise. And a lot of people accuse Congress, senators and the president, of playing games with the debt ceiling.
I mean, the treasury secretary said, like, if you don't raise the debt ceiling, the country will go into fault. The Treasury Secretary Geithner, he said, "Default would cause irrevocable damage." Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, said it would be catastrophic. The head of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said it could add $100 billion to our debt.
So, why play games with this? Because that's what people see this pledge as, just another political game.
DEMINT: Carol, it's no game. It's deadly serious. If we keep spending, we're going to bankrupt our country.
We're not going to default on our loans. If we never raise the debt ceiling again, we would not default on our loans. We would have to cut back on spending in a lot of places.
But that doesn't need to happen if the president and Democrats will work with the millions of Americans to simply say, OK, six or eight years out, we're going to balance our budget. But we need to raise the debt ceiling today. I think you'd find a lot of people at the table discussing that if they would come around.
But we can't just -- this is the fourth time the president has asked us to increase the amount that we can borrow as a country, a fourth time. And so -- if we keep blowing through these debt ceilings which are supposed to restrain our spending, we will bankrupt our country.
We owe it to the American people to tell --
COSTELLO: I'm sure a lot of the American voters are with you and they understand that. But I think that some feel that by signing a pledge, and especially Tea Party conservatives, you know, they won't allow for any wiggle room and doesn't that make it difficult for the House speaker, John Boehner, to come to any sort of compromise with the president. You know, they played the golf game. They're trying.
But, aren't you tying John Boehner's hands tighter by doing this?
DEMINT: Well, Carol, this isn't a partisan idea. Balancing the budget is not a partisan idea. We can agree on a lot of things. But --
COSTELLO: But ways to balance the budget has become partisan.
DEMINT: The ways to balance it, we've tried a lot of things. But the reason 49 states have to balance their budget, the reason we've seen Governor Walker in Wisconsin and Chris Christie in New Jersey, is their constitutions require that they balance it. So, they have to set priorities. They have to cut spending.
We don't have to do that in Washington. We're borrowing 43 cents on every dollar we spend and there's no indication we're going to stop that. So, unless, we have a requirement, a constitutional requirement, we're going to destroy our country. So, the reason to sign the pledge is to show Americans where we stand. What we're willing to do.
If we really won't stand for anything, I'm afraid as the old country song says, we're going to fall for anything.
COSTELLO: I also just want to ask you quickly -- the Republicans running for president, you want them to sign this pledge. Unless they sign this pledge, you won't support them. I understand Ron Paul has signed it, right?
DEMINT: Yes. I think -- I think Tim Pawlenty will sign it as what he indicated to me.
I think it's a good signal that we've got folks who are willing to take a stand and we've gotten e-mails from a lot of people running for Congress and Senate, who want to show their constituents that they're willing to stand up for some kind of fiscal sanity. So, I think you'll see this catch on.
But, again, it's not something that's originated here inside Congress. This is something the American people are doing. It's not just the Tea Parties. I think you'll see a lot of Democrats out there saying, hey, we need to balance our budget.
COSTELLO: All right. Well, we're going to talk to Jon Huntsman later and you're going to tell him to sign the pledge or?
DEMINT: Well, if any presidential candidate is looking for my support or the support of millions of Americans who are part of this pledge, they're not going to get that support if they're not willing to take a stand on this very common sense issue.
COSTELLO: Senator DeMint, thank you for joining us this morning. We appreciate it.
DEMINT: Thanks, Carol.
