Communications from Committee Members: None
Communications from County Representatives : Jill Bennett advised that Commissioners Rennels was wondering if her monthly Red Feather community meeting could be conducted on the same day as the RFLPAC meeting. Her community meeting would occur at approximately 1200 noon. PAC membership advised that this idea was feasible.
Comments from the Audience: Judy Viola advised (1) that the Librarys water well is 260 feet deep, (2) that the well classification was changed to under the influence of surface water and (3) that tests have been within the acceptable range.
Rob Helmick, LARCO Development and Review Planning
Advised that this special review will be going to the Planning Commission on December 17, 2008. Documents pertaining to this Special Review can be found on the Larimer County Web Site: www.larimer.org/departments/planning. When you go to the bottom of the Planning page, you will find Planning Commission. On the Planning Commission page, you will find a link to the current agenda. The document is titled: Monroe Excavating Deadman Quarry Special Review
Mr. Helmick advised that the reason LARCO Planning is coming before the RFLPAC to provide the RFLPAC the opportunity to make comments pertaining to the application as it relates to the Red Feather Lakes Plan. The Planning Commission is empowered to make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners who will decide, both on the technical aspects and well as the compatibility aspects of the application.
The Planning Department analysis of the 15-acre quarry is that it can meet the technical requirements of Larimer County (with certain limitation on its hours of operation) from the standpoint of noise, dust, and odor. There are no standards for compatibility. Consequently, the Board will have to evaluate public input and the technical standards to determine compatibility. Mr. Helmick advised that Larimer County has mining operations where residential areas are closer to the mining operations and they have been found compatible by the Board of County Commissioners.
Mr. Helmick advised that this application has been in process since September 2007.
MARION MONROES COMMENTS. Chairperson Schmitt asked Mr. Monroe if he had any comments and Mr. Monroe advised that (1) He resolved the issues that came up with the Church; (2) he has cleaned up the area and (3) that the mining operation is a necessary part of the Red Feather community and he requested the RFLPAC and (4) he requested the RFLPAC consideration.
RFLPAC comments. Several members advised that they had difficulty with digesting the contents of the Monroe Special Review packet having only received it less than a week ago. Several members discussed the possibility of adjourning the PAC meeting and traveling to the Monroe site.
Susan Bradley advised that she is for personal property rights and that that the mine would be an economical plus for the Red Feather community. Ms. Bradley handed out photographs of the mining area and her adjoining property. The photographs reflected that some of Mr. Monroes equipment was on Ms. Bradley property. Mr. Monroe advised that this equipment had been removed the week earlier. Ms. Bradley stated that Mr. Barker or Mr. Monroe had developed an egress road through Ms. Bradley property and this road is on the proposed site plan as an emergency access. Mr. Helmich advised that this road is a civil issues and not part of the planning process.
Chairperson Schmitt asked the attending public if they had any comments pertaining to the discussion item. Maggie Mora stated that she felt that the Monroe site was being railroad through because she did not know anything about this special review until two days ago and as a property owner in Red Feather, she has many questions as they pertain to health, what the project will do to the air, concerns about increased truck traffic, etc. Chairperson Schmitt stated that this proposal was discussed at a public meeting at the POA building and that information pertaining to this proposal was available on the Larimer County web site.
Mr. Ed Seward stated that the Red Feather Plan identifies the proposed mining operation site for residential development and not for industrial use. The property owners that built homes in the surrounding area did so prior to the illegal mining operation. The mining operation has had a negative impact on surrounding property owners property rights and property values. The issuance of the permit was not an endorsement of the mining operation only that the operation met basic safety requirements. The mining operation is not in harmony with the neighborhood and it has a negative effect on the property owners' uses of their property. Mr. Seward stated that property values of the surrounding property may decrease up to 25%. He stated that he understood that Red Feather Lakes needs a cheap source of gravel but felt it was unacceptable for other Red Feather residents and the PAC to place the burden of cheap gravel on the property owners surrounding the illegal mining operation.
A motion was made and seconded to adjourn the RFLPAC meeting to travel to mine site to acquaint members with site plan and surrounding environment.
RFLPAC adjourned at 2:10 p.m. and reconvened at the Fire House Meeting Room at 2:57 p.m.
Michael Sledge: The PAC is the stewards of Red Feather and as such he cannot put his faith in a mine operator that has a negative work history. The Monroe mine is not the only source of gravel. Mr. Sledge reminded the PAC that the PAC is to look at the plan that it wrote. View Space is part of the Plan. This plan was approved by the Board of County Commissioners. So, we have a mandate to maintain our view space. When a person takes a left off of 74E and on to Deadman Road, you are entering the prime access to the greater national forest which is a prime attraction to our visitors and our signature beauty. If view space is part of the PACs mandate, how can the PAC recommend approval of a mining operation that negatively affects this view space?
Roger Svendsen related a personal experience where a reservoir was built below his house. The noise was horrendous and the distribution of dust was amazing. There was no way to keep the rock moist enough to prevent dust. This project only lasted for three months. Mr. Monroe advised that all the material at his mine is naturally damp and it makes very little dust cars going down the road make more dust then his mining operation.
Bud Thomas asked who would be enforcing the codes pertaining to this mine. Mr. Helmick advised that there are two code enforcement officers for the County and it takes a lot of time to get a person into Court to try to do something about the code violation. If it is an egregious, major health or safety issue, you can get attention of the Court very quickly. But a zoning violation does not get a lot of attention from the Courts. Each zoning violation is a separate legal action that has to be pursued through the normal legal remedies through the Court. All of the reclamation activities are not the Countys responsibilities. They are Colorado States responsibilities and are enforced through the $132,000.00 bond that Mr. Monroe had to post. Mr. Thomas stated that it costs him $30 to $50 more a truck load for road material when he has to purchase it down below.
Ted Carter stated that there was initially a saw mill on this proposed mining site and then material began to be harvested. Ted asked Mr. Helmick if this site has always been illegal operation. Mr. Helmick stated that the open zone was created in 1972. Prior to that time, there was not zoning but there were very broad limitations on use. From the 1950s to 1972 almost anything went. From 1972 forward, mining was a special review. If the sawmill predated the 1972 date, it was legal. In 1972 and forward it became non-conforming. The planning department tried to determine how long the mining operation had been at this site. The planning department came to an internal decision that there had not been a legally established mining operation on the property after the zoning. The Barker family may have taken material off of that site on a casual or infrequent basis prior to becoming actively involved in mining in the late 80s or early 90s. Aerial photographs indicate that this is the time it opened up for mining. Ted further advised that the people that he spoke to about the mining operation indicated a need for such an operation in Red Feather but their primary concern was the perceived negative history of the operator not taking care of the mining site. Ted asked what happens to this site if the Board of County Commissioners does not approve this request. Mr. Helmick advised that the owner would have to close the mine and reclaim it.
Terry Ferebee expressed his empathy with the property owners surrounding the proposed mining site as it pertains to the noise created by the mining operation and the distances that noise carries in mountainous environments.
Bill Gilbert asked if the $132,000 bond appreciates over the 20-year period. Mr. Helmick advised that he did not know the answer to this question and that Bill would need to ask the States this question since it is a State bond. Bill asked if truck traffic included water trucks and Mr. Helmick advised that the truck numbers included all truck to the site.
Ross Reid stated that his major concern is the noise and vibration from the site. Ross lives a mile from the site and he can hear the mining operation and feel the vibration. Based on the operators reputation for trashing a site, Ross wanted to know who was going to monitor this aspect.
Gene Barker stated that we need a gravel pit in Red Feather Lakes. Gravel from this pit has been used on Red Feather Lakes road and on Storage and Irrigation properties. The site will repair itself. If the operator properly operates the mind, it will not be a big eye sore.
Roger Svendsen made a motion that RFLPAC either recommended approval or disapproval of application 07-1650. The motion was seconded by Ross Reid.
After RFLPAC discussion, the motion was reworded to: Recommend to the Larimer County Planning Commission and to the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners to approve application 07-1650.
RFLPAC voting record on motion:
Ted Carter No
Gene Barker Yes
Roger Svendsen No
Bud Thomas No
Susan Bradley No
Bill Gilbert No
Ross Reid No
Michael Sledge No
Terry Ferebee No
Lucille Schmitt Yes
Motion failed.
Ted Carter made a motion that the RFLPAC recognizes the need for a local source of aggregate material, possible reduction in truck traffic on Hwy 74E and applicant property owner rights. However, compatibility issues are:
The motion was seconded by Michael Sledge. RFLPAC voted 10 to 0 in favor of this motion.
RFLPAC meeting adjourned at 4:50 p.m.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'
The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him '.
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk
around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'
The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?'
Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink.. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some
of your hairs white, Mom?'
Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.'
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'
The children had all been
photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead..'
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.'
'Yes,' the class said.
'Then why is it that while I am standing up right in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?'
A little fellow shouted,
'Cause your feet ain't empty.'
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
'Take only ONE. God is
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.I cut things up and split them down!
Don't kids say the darndest things. Thanks for the lesson.

text: The owner of my gym recently bought a grappling dummy. Its hard to explain what it looks like but if anyone has used one of these I was wondering what drills would be good to use on it. The arms are slightly T-rex like and its doesn't exactly have the same proportions as a normal person. Trying to drill half guard sweeps and any thing that involves a curved doens't work on it because it can't really crouch and has to be full length all the time (this is a shit explanation). At the moment I have been using it for drilling armbars from the mount and from my guard. There's a video of Cung Le using a dummy on youtube to train his takedowns but I was wondering if anybody has used one to improve their ju-jistu.

My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
Here is my own grades to the starting offensive linemen from the Steelers game. Some of the help and sources I get from PFF.
Michael Oher- C+
Oher had a pretty solid game and held Harrison in check pretty much all night. He did allow a sack and a hurry, which was his only 3rd sack given up of the year. Oher has been having his best year as a Raven on the left side, and has been an upgrade over Bryant McKinnie despite popular belief on this board. Oher didn't have his best night as a run blocker, which is usually his stronger areas of his game.
Kelechi Osemele- B
Osemele did an admirable job as a rookie in one of the most hostile environments in football. KO held Lamar Woodley in check through out the game, and even had a pancake on him in the first half. He did allow a sack, but who doesn't against a Dick Lebeau defense? KO had a pretty good night run blocking too which was not something shared by most of his Oline partners on the night.
Matt Birk- F
Terrible game by Birk, both in pass protection and run defense. Birk was simply dominated in all areas of the game by Casey Hampton, who has been terrible him self this year. Birk has still had a solid year for such an old player, but you have to wonder if Birk can handle the season down the stretch at his age. It is very concerning, especially with the play offs around the corner.
Jah Reid- B
If Jah Reid had been starting all year, or if it were a guard that had been playing the position for years, the grade would have probably been a C+, however Reid has been playing well in the last two games for a guy who's never played the position and only had less than 100 snaps at guard all year coming into this game. Reid only allowed one QB hit in the game, and held up very well in pass protection, which helped keep the pocket clean pretty much all night for Flacco. Jah Reid didn't have a good game run blocking, but neither did many of his buddies on the Oline. Jah Reid may have won him self the starting job at left guard for the rest of the year. He has shown that he is capable of holding up well against one of the better front 7 in football in Heinz field, in the most fierce rivalry in sports, and in only his first start at guard, pretty remarkable IMO.
Marshall Yanda- A
Yanda continues his great form on the year. He was by far the best lineman out there, which isn't surprising as he's arguably the best guard in football right now. Yanda is also probably our best offensive player we have, and we should all be so happy that Ozzie gave Yanda the big money and not Grubbs. Yanda has given up zero sacks, only 2 hits, and 4 hurries on the year. Yanda has only had two below par games on the year (which were not terrible games by any means), and in those two games, he appeared to be hurt in them. @KC and vs Cowboys.
Re: My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
Birk vs Hampton pretty much single handedly killed the run game. He is just physically overmatched too many times any more.

Re: My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
nice analysis Leach; and my eye test sure saw Birk getting handled. You may be a little kind overall; that Oline struggled in my view, but I didn't go back and look at tape or stats later.
Are you primarily relying on stats?
Re: My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
Re: My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
I thought minus the sack, oher was the best pass blocker on the pitch, not just our team.
Re: My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
After the first play on offense where Kiesel killed Flacco, Jah had a decent game imo.
He didn't seem to get much push initially but seemed to get to the second level well, I'll take his no push over Bobbie Williams getting pushed backed or sliced through.

Re: My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
Good breakdown by the OP. Oher had an impressive night in pass pro, and I'm really starting to come around to the notion that he can be our LT. He will probably never be elite at the position, but he is more than adequate and hasn't hit his ceiling yet. KO continues to impress at RT, Yanda is what he always had been, and Jah could easily be a keeper at LG.
I've defended Birk around here for a long time but he's not even what he was last year anymore, and last year he'd taken a major step back from 09-10. So now to my eyes he's not playing a whole lot above league average level.
I do think part of that is him being asked to win too many matchups that are stacked against him, i.e. sealing off big guys like Hampton in the run game and solo blocking in pass pro. I don't think he can do that anymore at all, he can still get to the 2nd level and block LBs, but he's just not going to do much other than get in the way of a 300+ pound DT.
Re: My individual Olineman grades from the Steelers game
But yeah, he is no where near to what he was from 09-2010.

I just have 2 questions for now...
- is the UNetbootin method supposed to be persistent ? (I'm pretty sure, but haven't search that deep for now...)
- how can I know if my USB stick would be compatible ? (I came with a lot of different results booting from multiple machines, so I was wondering if there's a way to bulletproof it!)
I've been fighting for a persistent USB for some time now, I'm not done yet but if someone can answer those, that would help a lot!
Hey all,
Maybe it would be good to state that a 4GB stick is enough for the UNetbootin alternative method : at least I've been able to install it and have it running, but the persistence wasn't there (hence my previous post)...
But guess what ? I'm currently typing this message following a successful install based on the OS video! It was my fifth or sixth attempt with this method, and I always ended up with an unbootable stick dropping to the "initramfs" prompt. I'm pretty sure I followed step-by-step each time... go figure, looks like my stick is compatible after all, but if someone has an answer to my previous post, paleez share!
I'm gonna confirm the persistence and do some other tests as well : before I got it to work, I experienced quite a score of different results...
Would it be a good idea to post them here ? Maybe it would be better to send them to someone directly ? I would be more than happy to help perfect this tutorial...
ps : paleez forgive my ink/glitch!

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes
I have the same problem, I tried everything to make a bootable pendrive with persistent changes, but till today I havent get it, tried make partitions, unetbooting ....... Nothing solved my problem. the pendrive starts like a cdrom, appears the install icon on the desktop. And when I restart, changes dissapears.
Anything I did forget to do??.
Hello, I have 16Gb pendrive. im newbie in this forum, my first post, but I have the same problem with persistent changes in pendrive, I tried video method, unetbooting, etc, nothing works, the pendrive appear like "cdrom0" when I boot from it, so I think that is not a persistent changes usb, what im doing wrong?, because everybody says that those methods work. Thanks.
Since you felt I should have my own thread, could you rename it to something else ? Something like "4GB persistent BT4PF USB stick... looking for answers" ? If not, I'll start another one...
noobproof tutorial, the 2nd alt method...
Anyhow, thanks for the info!
noobproof tutorial :
- first method, running "install.sh" : impossible with 4GB stick, not enough space at 70%
- alt1 : tried about 4 times before it finally worked, had to fsck the casper-rw partition before I could backup it with clonezilla (error was "bitmap free count err")
- alt2 : worked, didn't like it, no other reason...
"Unetbootin and persistant changes BT4"
to achieve this is simple...
1) Create two partitions on your pen drive
first partition, bootable fat32, name it what you like.
sec partition, ext2 or 3 , name it casper-rw
2) install BT4 via Unetbootin as you normally would.
3) mod syslinux.cfg in the root directory of your pen drive
add: "persistent rw" to the append line.
The main draw back of this type of install, Its slow.
By slow, I mean, the BT4 OS runs unbearably slow on the pen drive.
At least, this has been my experience. May have been my pen drive.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I was pretty shocked when I heard him say that.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

I just think he wants a QB who makes good decisions and is accurate.
I think all teams would "want" a QB who is as good a runner as they are passers. Those guys just are few and far between. I don't think Kelly is going to go out of his way to get one of those guys when they have other real issues on the team and Foles may in fact be a guy he can turn into something.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Kelly probably could incorporate Foles into his system but I highly doubt it would be to his preference. New regimes generally mean new quarterbacks, and even if Kelly "could" use Foles I'm sure he'd much prefer to go out and get his own guy that actually fits the system.
Khaseem Greene might be within the top 32 picks on Mayock's big board, so to him that means Greene is a 1st rounder, but what he's not accounting for is that the majority of NFL teams don't view non-pass rushing LBs to be WORTH 1st round picks unless they're elite prospects.
I wouldn't say Greene has no chance to be a 1st rounder, but the way the draft has evolved over the last 5 years or so, particularly since the rookie wage scale came into effect, it just doesn't seem likely. It's a copycat league and teams are seeing guys like Sean Lee, Daryl Washington, and Navorro Bowman become the future at the LB position and they don't need to be taken in the 1st, while guys like Aaron Curry and Rolando McClain bust out.
Since 2000... the most picked position in the 1st round is defensive line, by a huge margin. After that, DB, then WR. This class is rich in all 3 of those positions... especially defensive line. I could EASILY see the first round passing without a single tight end, non-pass rushing LB, or interior OL being picked. (Well, maybe ONE interior OL since Chance Warmack looks to be a truly elite G prospect.)
That's just the way the NFL is now... the young impact non-QB players in the league are guys like Julio Jones, AJ Green, JJ Watt, Aldon Smith, Von Miller, etc... teams want to sell tickets and jerseys and they do that with splash plays from splash players. Everyone wants their own guy like that and now that 1st round picks don't get outrageous contracts teams feel much more free to just go and grab guys with talent instead of "safe" picks like linebackers and whatnot.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Considering the Jets hired Morningwheg, I could see them possibly sending Tebow and some draft picks to the Eagles for Nick Foles.
They could also target Vick.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
My latest Ravens mock draft: (I am assuming that a safety and a nose tackle is signed in FA)
First round pick (32): Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
Kevin Minter is probably the best bet here. There really isn't any great options at this point, and we have a big need at ILB, plus Minter is a great prospect IMO. He isn't Ray Lewis, and isn't a vocal leader like him, but he was the leader of an elite college defense at LSU, and was more of a quiet leader. He is really solid in run defense, he covers a lot of ground, and is adequate to solid dropping back into coverage. Hip movement may be an issue. At 6'1 and 240 lbs, he has ideal size to play in a 3-4 scheme, and would be great playing next to Ellerbe. Minter would instantly become the fastest guy in our front 7.
Pro comparison: Daryl Smith
Second round pick (62): Datone Jones, DE, UCLA.
The Senior bowl headlines will tell you that it was all Ziggy Ansah dominating, but lost in all that is that Datone Jones was just as good. Datone Jones is raising his stock, so he may even be a first round pick, but for now I will give him a second round projection, simply because nobody really knows who he is right now. He compares favourbly with Darnell Docket IMO, he is really stout as a run defender, but can bullrush effectively and would instantly upgrade our pass rush. He is versatile and can play 5 technique, a hands in dirt DE in a 4-3, a DT in nickel packages, and at a push, maybe even SAM in a 3-4. He had perfect measurable s at the senior bowl, at 6'4, 280 lbs.
Pro comparison: Darnell Docket
Third round pick (78), (traded up for fourth, fifth, and sixth round picks with St Louis): Chris Faulk, OT, LSU
Chris Faulk could have been one of the top LT's in the draft this year had he not spent the year out with a serious knee injury. He could be a great value pick here as a developmental LT prospect, and long term, we still don't have a real natural LT on the roster. He was a nasty run blocker at LSU and was decent in pass coverage, he also has great size at 6'6, 325 lbs. Because of the injury, he has a 3rd round projection right now. Could start from day 1 at RT or guard at a push.
Pro comparison: Duane Brown
Third round pick (93), Markus Wheaton, WR, Oregon state.
Wheaton had a really solid senior bowl week, and by all accounts the Ravens were interested in him. He would fit Caldwell's system perfectly, as he can get deep separation, being a burner, but can also take short passes and take them for big gains. I'm not really sure what round he'll go in right now, but the general conseues says that he's a 3rd round projection because of his lack of size.
Pro comparison: Greg Jennings
Fourth round pick (compensatory pick, for Ben Grubbs): Ryan Otten, TE, San Jose
Who knows how the Ravens view Ed Dickson right now, but I expect them to bring in some competition for him to earn the 2nd TE position in the two TE set system that the Ravens are expected to run quite a lot next season, this is assuming they tender Dickson, which isn't a given, Dickson has really under whelmed after a promising start to his sophomore season in 2011. Otten was a player that the Ravens were reportedly interested in at the senior bowl, and would be a solid pick in the fourth round. He is big, and can be a miss match over the middle, but isn't overall fast or athletic. He is an adequate to solid blocker, and very good at catching the ball from what I've seen of him. He uses his big body to catch balls over the middle out leaping smaller DB's and LB's. He was impressive at the senior bowl, and played through an illness all week. Seems like a typical Raven pick on a tough kid waiting to happen.
Pro Comparison: Zach Miller
Fifth round pick (compensatory pick for Cory Redding): Brian Schwenke, OC/OG, California
This would be a nice depth pick, and would bring some legit competition for Gino in camp. Schwenke looks like a nice prospect that can get to the second level and seal off some nice blocks in the run game, he has decent size for a center at 6'4 and 307 lbs, and would be a nice fit for a ZBS. He also offers some decent versatility as he can play both guard and center.
Pro comparison: Maukrice Pouncey
Fifth round pick (compensatory pick, for Jarrett Johnson): Tyrann Mathieu, S/CB, LSU
This is totally a wild throw it out there type pick on a very talented player with extremely flawed character concerns. IF the Ravens view him as someone who can change his life in the NFL, they will take a chance on him given his ability. He is actually similar to our very own Webb as a player, and would give us some much needed depth at both safety and corner.
Pro Comparison: Lardarius Webb
Seventh round pick (217): Kyle Justzczyk, FB, Harvard.
Essentially the Vonta Leach replacement (I have Leach being cut in my mock offseason document sadly). He wont be anywhere near as good as a lead blocker in this offense, but somehow, I think Caldwell's system doesn't really require a great lead blocker, but maybe more of a hybrid player who can be a weapon in the passing game, as well as a protector in both the passing and running game. Justzczyk can do just that, he lined up in the slot as a receiver at Harvard a lot of the time, and could be an interesting prospect to look at, another option for Flacco on 3rd downs.
Pro comparison: Henri Hynoski
Seventh round pick (compensatory pick for Tom Zibikowski): Curtis McNeal, RB, USC
As we all know, another big positive about Caldwell's offense, is that its upgraded the ground game, and its something that needed to happen in this play off run, as it was woeful at times under Cameron, or non existent, or extremely under used with the talented backs we have on the roster. We do however need an upgrade at the 3rd RB spot currently occupied by Anthony Allen. Allen is a decent ST player, but just isn't cutting it as an NFL back. This offense could do with a scat back to compliment Rice, and Curtis McNeal is a small speedy back that can contribute in the passing game too. There is nothing wrong with adding a Danny Woodhead type player in the 7th round.
Pro comparison: Danny Woodhead.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason threadAlthough Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Bill Gates Describes Microsoft's Early Smartphone Efforts as "Clearly a Mistake"

The Windows Mobile era took a heavy toll on Microsoft's mobile efforts
In a new candid interview with CBS Corp.'s (
) titular station, Microsoft Corp. (
) co-founder and
famed philanthropist
Bill Gates discusses his
former company's
struggles in the mobile era
. Microsoft today accounts for less than 5 percent of the smartphone market, according to most estimates.
For a time, Microsoft
held nearly a quarter
of the fledgling smartphone market (circa 2004). But it failed to keep up with rivals like Google Inc. (
) and Apple, Inc. (
), sticking for years with the increasingly dated Windows Mobile platform. In November 2010, Microsoft launched
a new operating system
, Windows Phone, which was ambitious but lacked strong third-party hardware support. Today Microsoft is still struggling to sell the market on its latest mobile OS --
Windows Phone 8
Bill Gates in the interview calls Microsoft's former cellphone strategy "clearly a mistake", remarking, "There's a lot of things like cellphones where we didn't get out in the lead early. We didn't miss cellphones, but the way that we went about it didn't allow us to get the leadership."
The tech icon says that both he and current CEO (
and close friend
) Steve Ballmer are both incredibly "self-critical". He comments, "He [Ballmer] and I are not satisfied that in terms of breakthrough things that we're doing everything possible."

Mr. Gates expressed confidence, though, that it's not too late for Microsoft to claw its way to a significant mobile market share. He's
a big fan of Windows 8 and Microsoft's Surface tablet
Microsoft is reportedly aiming to
unify the Windows and Windows Phone platforms
under one consistent set of mostly overlapping APIs and user interface themes, to allow users to feel more comfortable with both form factors, and to help developers save time deploying cross-platform apps. The first unified release, Windows Blue, may land late this summer.
The revisions are also accompanied with some big leadership change. Windows President Steven Sinofsky was
driven out
new rising stars are taking his place
at the company. Some investors have
called on CEO Ballmer to step down
, but for now Mr. Ballmer is
hanging tight
in the top spot,
vocal as ever
"I modded down, down, down, and the flames went higher." -- Sven Olsen

McCARTNEY NEARLY KILLED IN CHOPPER INCIDENT It has been revealed that the helicopter carrying Paul McCartney and his wife, Nancy, came within approximately two feet of crashing while landing at his English estate in East Sussex, report Britain's Mail. The pilot became "disoriented" while flying at night in bad weather and missed crashing into a group of trees on the property by only two feet. England's Dept. of Transportation is looking into the incident, which took place in May.
At the time of the incident, the McCartneys were reportedly unaware of how close they came to catastrophe. A McCartney spokesman said, "Paul has been spoken to. It has been put to him, everything. It's a no comment."
In other McCartney news, he and his longtime four-piece band played shows in St. Louis and Houston this week, where he delivered his usual three-hour classic-laden show that included choice gems like "The Night Before" from "Help!," "And I Love Her," from "A Hard Day's Night," and a medley of Lennon-McCartney's "A Day in the Life" that segued into Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance."
The 70-year-old McCartney will spend the last week of the month in Canada, playing concerts on Nov. 25 in Vancouver, and on Nov. 28 and 29 in Edmonton.
STONES ADD U.S. SHOW The Rolling Stones have added a third American gig on Dec. 8 at the new 19,000-seat Barclays Center in Brooklyn. This date falls between the band's London shows at the 20,000-seat O2 arena on Nov. 25 and 29 and its Dec. 13 and 15 performances at the 19,500-seat Prudential Center in East Rutherford, N.J. There were more than one million online ticket requests for the London shows. The scuttlebutt is that the Stones will perform a ton of shows in 2013.
RUSH GETS ROCK WALK HONOR IN HOLLYWOOD On Nov. 20, Rush is being honored with a plaque featuring their handprints, signatures and images of their faces on the Rock Walk in front of Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. However, the event is closed to the public. When calls to Guitar Center were placed, management representatives could not be found in the store to come to the phone. When asked why the public wasn't invited, the representative that answered the phone said, "Because that's just the way it is."
VAN HALEN RESCHEDULES JAPANESE TOUR Van Halen has rescheduled its three shows in Japan that were originally set for later this month, but were postponed when guitarist Eddie Van Halen underwent emergency surgery for diverticulitis, according to Japanese promoter Udo. The new dates are June 21, 2013 at the 42,000-seat Tokyo Dome, and June 24 and 26 at the 8,200-seat Osaka Municipal Central Gymnasium.
MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE LINEUP Among the artists performing along the route during the 86 th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City will be Don McLean, Mannheim Steamroller, Chris Isaac, Jimmy Fallon and his house band The Roots, country singer Trace Adkins, and the Radio City Rockettes. Newbies appearing include The Wanted, Neon Trees, Malibu-based folk and pop singer Colbie Calliat, dance popper Flo Rida, pop star Carly Rae Jepsen, pop duo Karmin, country pop singer Jenette McCurdy, pop girl band twins Megan & Liz, and teen Aussie pop singer Cody Simpson. NBC will telecast the parade Thanksgiving morning from 9 a.m. - noon, and repeat it later from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
INXS BREAK UP AFTER 35 YEARS Mid-way through its concert in Perth in its native Australia, where they were the opening act for Matchbox Twenty, INXS drummer John Ferris told a stunned crowd that the concert they were watching, after 35 years, would be its last, according to news.com.au. Ferris then added, "I'm getting teary," before the group that formed in Sydney in 1977 performed its only American No. 1 single, its signature song from 1987's "Need You Tonight."
The band managed to survive for almost 15 years after the suicide death on Nov. 22, 1997 of its superstar frontman, singer Michael Hutchence.
Worldwide, the band sold more than 30 million records. Six of its albums were certified platinum here, including the 1987 album, "Kick" that went 6 x platinum.
JACKSON BROWNE SETS ACOUSTIC WEST COAST TOUR Jackson Browne will begin the new year with a month-long 15-date acoustic concert tour up and down the West Coast. According to the announcement posted on his website, the 64-year-old who grew up in southern California and was briefly an early member of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, will play piano and guitar and be "collaborating with musicians on stage." The 2013 Acoustic Tour kicks off on Jan. 19 in Portland and wraps on Feb. 16 in Reno.
In between, Browne scheduled stops on Jan. 26 at Copley Hall in San Diego, Jan. 28 at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, Jan. 29 at the Terrace Theatre of Long Beach, Jan. 31 at the Majestic Theatre of Bakersfield and on Feb. 1 at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula.
SANDY AFFECTS ARETHA, ROGER HODGSON & OTHERS WHILE MADONNA & SOUNDGARDEN HELP OUT Hurricane Sandy forced the cancellation or postponement of concerts by Aretha Franklin and former Supertramp co-leader Roger Hodgson, as well as Journey, Aimee Mann, Phish leader Trey Anastasio, John Legend, Mos Def (now called Yasiin Bey), and experimental country folk band Blitzen Trapper with Brandi Carlile, a marriage equality benefit with Rufus Wainwright, as well as all Broadway shows.
Billboard says the postponement and cancellations could cause the concert business millions in lost marketing and promotion costs.
On the flip side, fans at Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell's acoustic concert at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City benefiting the Mayor's Fund that aids victims of Sandy got a surprise when the remaining Soundgarden members joined Cornell onstage for six numbers, including their biggest hit, "Black Hole Sun," according to Blabbermouth.
At a relief benefit at Brooklyn Bowl, young hotshot blues-rock guitar wizard Gary Clark, Jr. donated $20 per ticket and collected canned goods and household items.
In other Sandy news, 37-year-old Staten Island resident Lori Gjenashaj lost her home and virtually all her possessions to the hurricane, but managed to attend Justin Bieber's concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Thanks to the kindhearted ticket vendor who sold her eight tickets on eBay, she was able to go after he made her copies of the tickets. "I'm homeless, I'm broke - but I'm here," she said, explaining that her original tickets were in her kitchen but were lost when her home flooded, reported the New York Daily News.
At a Madonna gig at Madison Square Garden, the 54-year-old Material Girl did what she almost always does, i.e., flashing her rear end for her 20,000 fans in attendance. However, this time it was for a good cause, as Entertainment Weekly reports, she then asked the attendees to throw money on stage that she would donate to the relief effort. How much money was raised was not reported. Earlier that day, she visited Queens where she met with victims and lent support. "It was amazing how not a big deal this was. She had one bodyguard and only a few people around. It was pretty cool seeing her there," a relief volunteer told the New York Daily News.
Meanwhile, country music's Carrie Underwood donated all the proceeds of her sold-out show at the 14,700-seat Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City to the hurricane relief effort.
ALL-STAR MEGA-BENEFIT SET FOR SANDY VICTIMS Clear Channel Media, the Weinstein Company and the Madison Square Garden Company are planning a mega-benefit for relief victims on Dec. 12 at the Garden that they are comparing to Paul McCartney's 2001 Concert for New York City that benefited victims of the 9/11 attack that featured Eric Clapton, Elton John and a titanic performance by The Who. Like McCartney's show, the "12-12-12," concert will be televised and is also expected to draw an incredible roster of superstars. Details to come soon.
On a smaller scale, Contemporary Christian hitmaker Sandi Patty will play a benefit for the victims in the New York and New Jersey areas on Nov. 24 at the Calvary Baptist Church in the Big Apple.
JOURNEY POSTPONES SHOWS In addition to the cancellation of its show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center because of Hurricane Sandy, Journey postponed five shows in Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Illinois after singer Arnel Pineda came down with a bad sore throat and laryngitis. The band says the shows will be rescheduled for January or February.
DEF LEPPERD GETS VEGAS RESIDENCY English hard rockers Def Leppard are heading to Vegas for a short residence.
The quintet that formed in Sheffield in 1977, and who's fourth LP, "Hysteria," that was released in 1987 and went No. 1 here while being certified 12 x platinum, will present "Viva Hysteria" over nine shows at the 4,000-seat Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino from March 22 through April 10. The Joint's big selling point is that the furthest seat back is only 155 feet from the stage.
BONO MEETS BIDEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE U2 singer and activist Bono met with Vice President Joe Biden at the White House. The pair discussed AIDS, fighting poverty and global development, according to a tweet from the Vice President's office. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney joked with reporters, saying "You witnessed the formation of a new band."
While he was in D.C., the 52-year-old Irishman delivered the keynote speech at the Global Social Enterprise Initiative at Georgetown University, where he discussed the same topics. He also praised President Obama, saying, "Congratulations are in order not just for turning out in record numbers, but for electing an extraordinary man as president."
He will meet with members of Congress and the Obama Administration, urging them to support a variety of existing foreign aid programs, rather than cut them as they deal with the "fiscal cliff" issue, according to Reuters.
Before arriving in the nation's capitol, Bono joined the throng enjoying legendary lounge pianist Billy Stritch and singer Jim Caruso as they ran through the Great American Songbook of standards mostly from the '30 s and '40 s in the famed Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, NBC News reported.
Bono and his party entered the bar. "Bono walked in. It was impossible not to recognize the guy - the glasses alone gave him away," Caruso told the Huffington Post. "They were seated in the corner, where they rocked, bopped, swayed and snapped. He kept giving me the thumbs-up when he'd like a tune and singing along quietly."
Before leaving, without saying a word, Bono walked up on stage and joined the pair on the song he sang with Frank Sinatra on the Chairman's 1993 triple-platinum album, "Duets," Cole Porter's 1936 classic, "I've Got You Under My Skin."
Caruso said, "The room was stopped cold. Just another miraculous Bemelmans moment! As the last note was crooned, Bon flew out the door, waving to everyone. Billy looked at me and said dryly, 'Well, that happened!'"
Bono wasn't the only activist rock legend in Washington. The Who's Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend held court at a jammed lunch at the National Press Club, where they promoted Who Cares: Teen Cancer America, a domestic extension of Daltrey's 22-year-old British Teenage Cancer Trust. They were joined by teenage cancer survivors and medical professionals. The pair hopes to raise funds and join with U.S. hospitals to create facilities, as well as support programs, for cancer patients between 13 and 24 years of age.
TIM McGRAW SURPRISES VETERANS Tim McGraw crashed an Army lunch in a mess hall in Brentwood, Tenn., where he thanked about 30 male and female soldiers for their service, reports the Nashville Tennessean. McGraw, 45, has taken an increasingly active role in supporting the troops. Earlier this year, on his and Kenny Chesney's Brothers of the Sun Tour, he awarded 25 military families mortgage-free homes.
CLAPTON'S WATCH AUCTIONED FOR RECORD $3.6 MILLION Eric Clapton is on a roll. Last month, his abstract painting by German artist Gerhard Richter was auctioned for $32.4 million, a record for a painting by a living artist.
Now, a Swiss platinum chronograph Patek Philippe wristwatch, made in 1987 in Geneva and one of only two cased in platinum, that he bought a decade ago, was auctioned for $3.6 million by Christie's in Geneva. The price is a world record for what's termed an "ultra rare" reference 2499/100. An unidentified Asian was the buyer, according to Reuters.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & ROGER WATERS PERFORM AT VETERAN'S BENEFIT In a rare occurrence, Bruce Springsteen opened for former Pink Floyd leader Roger Waters at the 6 th annual Stand Up For Heroes benefit for the Bob Woodruff Foundation at the Beacon Theater in New York City, reports Rolling Stone.
Just prior to Springsteen's set and Waters' event-closing set, John Mayer began the concert by silently walking onstage and, without saying anything, delivered a soaring instrumental take on The Beatles' "Long and Winding Road" on his electric guitar.
Springsteen's four-song set included "We Take Care of Our Own," "Land of Hope and Dreams," "Working on the Highway" and "Tougher Than the Rest." A package that included the guitar and harmonica the Boss played during his set, along with six tickets to an upcoming Springsteen concert and a backstage tour, was auctioned off for $110,000.
Headliner Waters, a 69-year-old Englishman whose grandfather was killed in 1916 during World War I, whose father lost his life during World War II in 1944 and who said that he "shares enormous empathy for the men," was backed by 14 singing and guitar-playing wounded soldiers and also former "Saturday Night Live" band-leading guitarist G.E. Smith as he ended the evening with a set that included his own Floyd smash, "Wish You Were Here" and Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door."
Waters met the wounded soldiers during a visit to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. They play in a band there as part of their rehabilitation. He rehearsed with them at the hospital and spent several more days rehearsing with them after they arrived in New York.
The foundation raised pledges to help soldiers combating the mental and physical hardships of life after they return home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Comedians Jon Stewart, Ricky Gervais, Patton Oswalt, Mike Birbiglia and Robin Williams also performed.
JERMAINE JACKSON TO CHANGE NAME Jermaine Jackson filed a petition in a Los Angeles court to change his name to Jermaine Jacksun, according to AP. He said it was artistic reasons.
Jackson's friend and spokesman, Steve Dennis, said, "Phonetically, it changes nothing." A hearing is set for Feb. 22 in L.A.
BON JOVI CONCERT FILM TO HIT THEATERS "Bon Jovi Inside Out," a new concert film, will play in theaters nationwide for one night only, Nov. 27. There will be one show time only, at 8 pm. The film was shot on last year's tour during the New Jersey band's 12-night stand at London's O2 Arena, the inaugural shows at the New Meadowlands Stadium and at Madison Square Garden.
DELFONICS MAJOR HARRIS DIES Major Harris, a leading practitioner of the lush, string-laden "Philly Soul Sound" as singer for The Delfonics and later as a solo hitmaker, died at age 65 of congestive heart and lung failure after being rushed to a hospital in Richmond, Va., according to VVN.com.
Harris was a member of The Delfonics from early 1970 until the time he quit to try and make it as a solo artist in 1974 - and make it, he did. He released a succession of six R&B hits, topped by "Love Won't Let Me Wait" that made it to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and was certified a gold record. The last time he took the stage was at a reunion show with some of the members of The Delfonics in 2011.
CLEVE DUNCAN OF THE PENGUINS DIES Tenor Cleve, or Cleveland, Duncan, an original member of The Penguins, died at age 77 on Election Day when he collapsed at a voting machine in Los Angeles while in the process of voting. No other details were available.
Duncan co-founded The Penguins in 1953 in Los Angeles and sang lead on the doo-wop quartet's only Top 40 hit, "Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)," in 1954. The song spent three weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's R&B chart in early 1955. It also hit No. 8 on the pop chart and is ranked at No. 152 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 2004, it was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry as a historically significant record. In 2004, Duncan and The Penguins were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
In 1962, The Penguins split up, however Duncan continued to record as The Penguins using The Viceroys as his backup singers. Duncan's group was billed as The Fabulous Penguins in the late '60 s. Returning to simply The Penguins, Duncan's group, that also contained longtime members Walter Saulsberry and Glenn Madison, continued to perform until this year.
HEALTH UPDATE Mark Farner, the 64-year-old lead singer and guitarist for '70 s hard rock trio Grand Funk Railroad on and off from the time of its founding in Flint, Mich. in 1969 until 1998, had a pacemaker installed, according to a post from his wife Lesia on his website. He's doing well and participated in a discussion at the For the Touring Conference with Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule guitarist Warren Haynes this week in New York. She did write that he is going to take it easy for the remainder of 2012, but added that he plans on "coming back strong in 2013."
Henry McCullough, the 69-year-old lead guitarist for Joe Cocker's Grease Band when they played their iconic set at Woodstock in 1969 and, in 1971, was Paul McCartney's first guitarist in his newly created post-Beatles band, Wings, is in critical condition after suffering a heart attack, according to the BBC News. He is resting in a hospital in Northern Ireland.
In between Cocker's and McCartney's bands, he was briefly in Gary Wright's group, Spooky Tooth. It's his voice that heard saying, "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time," at the end of Pink Floyd's "Money," from 1973's "Dark Side of the Moon."
Country singer Sammy Kershaw was shaken up but otherwise unharmed after his tour bus was hit by a car in Nacona, Texas, he told E! News. He said that he and nine members of his group were "traumatized" by the 11:30 p.m. accident that did severe damage to the tour bus. The car was driven by an unidentified woman.

NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing.
In the late '60 s, a form of pop music emerged that countered the acid rock of the psychedelic bands from the Bay Area, like The Jefferson Airplane, and hard rockers like Vanilla Fudge and blues-rock jam bands like Cream.
It was called bubblegum rock and it was as lightweight as can be; and upbeat, both in tempos and lyric content, guaranteed to be sung by millions of teens and pre-teens, while driven by irresistible melodies.
Bubblegum rock groups included The Ohio Express and its No. 4 hit from 1968, "Yummy Yummy Yummy (I've Got Love in My Tummy);" The Royal Guardsmen and their series of Snoopy songs that began with "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron," a huge No. 2 hit in 1966; The New Vaudeville Band" that saw "Winchester Cathedral" soar to No. 1 in 1966; and Ron Dante's fictional band The Archies, that had the biggest record in all of 1969 with "Sugar, Sugar."
Bubblegum's solo artist king, Tommy Roe, scored with four Top 10 hits in the late '60 s, including "Hooray For Hazel" and "Dizzy."
But, The 1910 Fruitgum Co., that formed in Linden, N.J., in 1965, was the king of bubblegum groups. In 1968-1969, the quintet notched five Top 40 hits, including "Goody, Goody Gumdrops." Three of those records, "Simon Says" (that sold 3.5 million copies), and "1, 2, 3, Red Light" and "Indian Giver" (that each sold more a million copies) all went Top 5.
During that time, they toured with such acts as The Beach Boys, Lou Christie, The Buckinghams and even Sly & The Family Stone, before breaking up late in 1969.
In 2007, three of The 1910 Fruitgum Co.'s original members, Frank Jeckell, Mick Mansuetto and drummer Floyd Marcus, reunited. They've pretty much been performing ever since. After performing a dozen gigs in 2011, they had nine shows on their calendar this year, including a Back to the Sixties bash in Hershey, Penn. with Ron Dante and former Ohio Express lead singer Joey Levine. The band is taking the holiday season off, but the guys have shows set on Jan. 13 in Long Island, N.Y., and on Jan. 20 in Bordentown, N.J.

By Melanie Ayotte, Boomerang staff writer
Just about any resource on long-term care planning will tell you that you need to anticipate what your health needs will be in the future. Unfortunately, none of us knows exactly how aging will affect us. Many of us look at our parents' health as a barometer of our own futures, but this is only part of the story. Luckily, just as a family tree can show you where you came from, a "medical family tree" can show you where you might be heading.
A medical family tree is simply a list of family members' health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, etc. It includes ages and deaths over generations and should include other topics family members typically avoid talking about, such as depression and addictions. A medical family tree can help you identify conditions for which you may be at risk and allow you to plan to prevent or effectively treat them, should they happen to you.
Advocates for the medical family tree approach recommend yours include information from at least three generations. As you begin to collect the information, you may see patterns evolve. For example, while you know your father had colon cancer, you didn't know that his cousin and uncle also had it. Having this information allows you to discuss possible testing and diet changes with your health care provider. Lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise and even employment changes may lessen, delay or eliminate your risk of a family medical condition.
Collecting information for a medical family tree may not be easy. Many family members do not like discussing their health conditions. When they do, they may feel that some conditions or events are too insignificant to mention (such as a polyp or two removed from their colon years ago) and omit them, giving you an incomplete picture. Another hurdle will be trying to collect health information from those older than you. Technology and medical knowledge is constantly changing and may not have been as precise and detailed 50 years ago as it is today. In addition, reporting was less detailed in the past, as well. For example, diagnoses of many diseases were not listed on death certificates, or they were very broad and encompassed several different conditions.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Surgeon General's Office offers My Family Health Portrait, a free, online tool that helps you enter your family health history, work on it collaboratively, and save or print it for easy access.
Once you have compiled the information, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with family members so they too can map out a healthier future and plan for what may await them. They will also be able to expand upon your tree as they gather more information, and, in turn, share it with other relatives. You also may want to give your information to your health care provider. She will be able to work with you on changes, even minor ones, along with screenings that may change your future health.
Don't just accept what fate or your genes have in store for you; take control of your future by knowing your past. As a result, you can live a healthier life, both physically and financially.

That is a lot of info but it sounds a little confusing. What do you mean you switched networks? Physical networks? or switched to bridged networking in vmware? what do you mean by you tried to replicate the physical network connectivity state?
Couple of stupid low level things. When you switched to bridged are you on a network that has a dhcp server? Did you try "/etc/init.d/networking restart"?

"Six Strikes" Copyright Alert System to Start Punishing Customers Next Week
Jason Mick
February 25, 2013 12:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Those who wish to avoid system should quit Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, or Time Warner service
After months of delays,
a "six strikes" system
designed to curb copyright infringement will go live in the United States, affecting customers on many of the nations' top internet service providers (ISPs). While avoiding the most draconian of punishments
proposed in past plans
-- severing offenders' internet connections -- the system will carry serious consequences including connection throttling and forced "education" from anti-piracy groups.
nation's top two mobile carriers
-- Verizon Communications Inc. (
)/Vodafone Group Plc. (
) joint subsidiary Verizon Wireless and AT&T, Inc. (
) -- are both participating (as is Verizon Communications' cable network). Also onboard is top cable internet provider Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), a company that
knows a thing or two about throttling
. Rounding out the early adopters is Time Warner Cable, Inc. (
), a company known for its
tireless efforts to stomp out municipal cable
. The group, along with
its big media partners
, is known as the Center for Copyright Information.
The Daily Dot
was the first to report that the system would go online this week. The system had been delayed for months due to issues with testing servers getting knocked offline by Hurricane Sandy.
The CCI's so-called
Copyright Alert System
(CAS) just had a shiny new website and promotion video pop up on YouTube, lending credence to the report that the system will be deployed next week.
CCI's new website just went live.
Under the plan, copyright watchdogs like the
Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) and
Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) -- groups that have been internationally involved in
convictions or settlements
involving their own "theft"
of independent artists' work
-- will join peer-to-peer networks or BitTorrent transfers and log internet protocol (IP) addresses of people who are downloading "confirmed infringed content".
The first warning carries no action, but later warnings carry ISP-specific "Mitigation actions". The (sort of) good news is that there is a path to appeal warnings. Writes the CCI:
There is a $35 filing fee, which may be waived if you meet affordability criteria. The fee will be refunded if your challenge is successful.
Still, the system is
a concern for real estate owners and Wi-Fi cafe owners
, in that their services could be limited due to their customers' actions. In many cases, it would be near impossible for such entities to police their customers' actions.
The simple solution for business people in that situation is to cancel their service with AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, or Time Warner and seek a local alternative.
Of course that approach could be difficult in some regions, and may become infeasible if more ISPs jump on the CCI bandwagon. For now, though, there are alternatives for many customers who want to avoid the system.

The U.S. is an expansive country with diverse geography and climate. The wide range provides several wine growing regions, including Oregon, Washington, New York and for local consumption in Texas, Virginia and the Carolinas. Despite this diversity, the vast majority of wine is still produced along the west coast in California. Napa and Sonoma are the most popular growing regions, but there are hundreds of wineries scattered throughout the country.
Regional identity is as indicative of the wine's features as it is in European growing countries, but American naming classifications are far less strict than those of old world wines. Wine varieties and blends from the U.S. have been produced for hundreds of years, but they have gained particular popularity in the last few decades.

Relief news from the United States - 7 Oct 2011
Relief news from the United States - 7 Oct 2011
Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association relief news from the United States.
Major floods on September 8 following rains from Hurricane Irene had wreaked havoc in the lives of some 130,000 residents in several northeastern US states, with at least five fatalities in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and emergency evacuations along the Susquehanna River in both Pennsylvania and New York.
Victim (F): We woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning. The sheriff said, "Get out." We went to Johnson City School. And it was hard.
Victim (M): You get sick to your belly thinking about it, wake up at night thinking about the mess you got. All the work you've got.
Victim (M): This was the bathroom. All the walls had to be ripped out, everything. The insulation has to be replaced. My mom lost all her clothes and belongings. (Supreme Master TV (F): I'm sorry.)
VOICE: Supreme Master Ching Hai asked that our Association members please go if possible to assist the flood-stricken as she offered US$20,000, with all her sorrowful prayers and love, for those most in need. After assessing the situation, our Association members from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts joined together on September 24 to render aid in the most heavily stricken parts of Pennsylvania and New York state such as Johnson City, where they cooperated with the efforts of a local church.
In addition to helping clean out the damaged house of an ill victim in Johnson City, the relief team prepared 500 vegan sandwiches along with survival kits containing sleeping bags, blankets, socks, and other materials.
Relief recipient (F): My sister's on oxygen, I have asthma, we can't breathe in this kind of air, and if it wasn't for you people, I don't know how it would have gotten cleaned.
Relief recipient (M): Special thanks to the Master. This is unbelievable. At this time in my life, It's going to really help me out. It'll get me through the mess a little bit easier. (hugs)
Elderly relief recipient (F): (tearing) This is so much help. Thank you.
VOICE: Some of the most desperate households and elderly victims also received cash aid, while all relief recipients were also given SOS flyers explaining the way to prevent such extreme weather tragedies.
VOICE: With appreciation to the church personnel and all others helping the flood-stricken, we also join in thanking Supreme Master Ching Hai for her compassionate aid, and our Association's relief team for their on-the-ground efforts.
We pray for the restoration of regular lives to the affected communities and for the easing of such calamities through our shift to more caring lifestyles as a vegan world.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
Title V of such Act, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new section:
"SEC. 504. (a) At any educational institution including any educational facility operated by the Indian Service where the Commissioner of Education shall find that there exists or impends an acute shortage of educational facilities, other than housing, required for persons engaged in the pursuit of courses of training or education under title ll of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended, the Federal Works Administrator is authorized, upon request of such educational institution, to provide such educational facilities (1) by the use or reuse (including disassembling, transporting, and reerecting) of structures or facilities (including improvements, equipments, materials, or furnishings but not including site acquisition and preparation or the installation of streets and utility mains) under the jurisdiction or control of any Federal agency which are no longer required by such agency and which, in the determination of said Administrator can be utilized to provide the needed educational facilities and which, in the determination of the War Assets Administrator are available for such use or reuse and (2) by connecting utilities from buildings to mains. Upon request of the Federal Works Administrator any Federal agency having jurisdiction or control of any such structures or facilities may, with the approval of the War Assets Administrator, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, transfer such structures or facilities to the Federal Works Administrator, without reimbursement, for such use or reuse. Without regard to the provisions of any other law, said Administrator is authorized to transfer to any educational institution any educational facilities provided for such educational institution under this subsection.
"(b) In carrying out the provisions of this section, said Administrator is authorized to exercise all the powers contained in sections 202 (a) and (b) and title III of this Act, subject to all the limitations contained in sections 203 (a) and (b) and title III of this Act: Provided, That nothing herein shall exclude the Indian Service from participation in the educational benefits provided by this Act.
"(c) To carry out the provisions of this section, and for administrative expenses in connection therewith, any funds made available under title 11 of this Act are hereby made available, and for such
Page 320
purposes there is also authorized to be appropriated the sum of $100,000,000.
"(d) Nothing in this section 504 shall affect the transfer to the National Housing Administrator of any structures or facilities requisitioned by him pursuant to section 502 (b) of this Act, for housing for veterans and distressed families of servicemen prior to any request therefor made by the Federal Works Administrator pursuant to the authority contained in said section 504.
"(e) Except with respect to contracts previously entered into and court proceedings then pending, this section shall cease to be effective on the last date on which courses of education or training may be provided under title II of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended.
"(f) As used in this Act the term 'educational institution' shall mean (a) any public educational institution or (b) any private educational institution, no part of the net earnings of which shall inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual.
"(g) Nothing in this section shall authorize the transfer of any property to the Federal Works Administrator until the preference to veterans provided by section 16 of the Surplus Property Act of 1944, as amended, has been fully satisfied in accordance with its terms; and for the purposes of such section 16 transfers to such Administrator under this section shall not be considered as transfers to a Government agency."
Approved, August 8, 1946.

I have spoken to a few people who know him and they said there is no sign of an injury and that he is walking around just fine. I'm not going to call him a liar but it seems strange that he's not answering his phone to the promoters and not returning calls. Maybe he lost his mobile? However, it has been shown before that Danny can struggle with powerful grapplers with strong g'n'p and I know he knows this
Look, I want this fight to go ahead in July at Wembley. Cage Rage want it to go ahead in July at Wembley. We both sold a load of tickets, so lots of people want to see this fight. Your injury happened in February, so that's five months to heal up. You're ranked number 1 and its time to defend that ranking against the people's champ
After all the nonsense from your mates saying I was ducking you, I'm gonna get submitted, beaten up on the feet, slung across the cage in a mail bag blah blah blah, you owe me this fight. I had to get off the sofa and train my balls off for three months to get back in shape and now I have some violence bottled up with your name on it

BROOKFIELD – A late taste of winter resulted in several motor vehicle crashes on Wednesday morning.
With roads throughout Colchester County covered with snow and ice, at least five vehicles travelling northbound slid off Highway 102 just past the Brookfield exit after 6 a.m.
Colchester RCMP, Brookfield fire officials and Emergency Health Services responded to the scene.
Fort Ellis resident Brad Rushton, 49, said the chaos involved black ice.
"The mayhem started from there," said Rushton. "I tried to hold on and (my truck) just went down and in. Then the car behind me started."
Two motorists, including Rushton, were unharmed while one was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries.
Rushton said there were vehicles further ahead of him on the highway that also slid off the road, and another one behind him.
"It was quite a ride," he said. "Now we know how NASCAR (drivers) feel."
Further north, two vehicles lost control and skidded into a ditch. Neither motorist was harmed.
MacElmon Road in Debert was the scene of another incident just after 7:30 a.m. The driver of a pick-up truck rolled his vehicle into the ditch but was not injured.
Another crash involved occurred on Truro Heights Road at about 8 a.m. when a Saturn travelling south was unable to stop when approaching a vehicle that had pulled over on the side of the road. The driver pulled around the stationary car and collided head-on with a school bus carrying 35 children.
Colchester RCMP Sgt. Al Affleck said neither the students, nor was the bus driver were hurt. The driver of the Saturn was treated on scene for non-life-threatening injuries.
