Post subject: Complete Mock offseason
I spent a great deal of time on this. I hope some will take the time to read it and supply meaningful feedback.
Coaching Changes
Martin Mayhew and Jim Schwartz have a lengthy discussion. Mayhew insists that something needs to change for the team to progress. Schwartz takes a hug step forward and swallows some pride. Coaching changes are agreed upon.
Gunther Cunningham-Cunningham has been at it for a long time. He is certainly not to fault for the defensive deficiencies but Schwartz informs him that he could be let go. Cunningham retires in order to save face for him and the organization.
Coaching Hires:
Defensive Coordinator/Assistant HC: Steve Spagnuolo
I have a feeling that Coach Payton is lured to Dallas buy Jerry Jones. Spagnuolo becomes more or less free to seek employment. Schwartz meets with Spagnuolo and informs him that he will have a great deal of independence as Detroits coordinator and will carry the title of Assistant HC. Spagnuolo joins.
Defensive Line Coach: Mike Wauffle
Wauffle is a veteran defensive line coach who has had success almost anywhere he goes. He rejoins Spagnuolo (worked together in NY) after being released by the Rams in favor of Washburn.
Linebacker Coach: Ken Flajole
He is currently the secondary coach of the Saints and former DC for Spagnuolo in St. Louis. He has several years of experience with the Panthers as a LB coach and will help Spagnuolo game plan.
Secondary Coach: Dennis Thurman
Thurman has many years of coaching secondaries both at the collegiate level and in the pros. He finds new employment after the implosion happens for the Jets.
Quality Control/Assistant Linebacker: Matt Burke
Matt Burke is retained but in a different role. He moves to a broader role in self-scouting and scouting opponents. He will also continue some work with the linebacker corps.
QB Coach: Jim Zorn
As you may have noticed, I did not add a new offensive coordinator. Linehan is retained but an expert QB coach is brought in to help with Stafford development. Zorns years of experience will also Linehan in game planning.
WR Coach: Charlie Joiner
With the retention of Linehan I think Jefferson leaves. They have butted heads at least once on the sidelines and the WR corps led the leagues in drops. Joiner is a veteran who should help develop some of our young wide outs.
Assistant WR Coach: Kyle Valero
Valero is currently offensive assistant. He moves on to Assistant WR coach and can learn a lot from a veteran like Joiner.
TE Coach/Assistant HC: Tony Sparano
Pettigrews development has stalled. A new coach is an option to try and remedy this. Sparano has been fired as HC of the Dolphins and is likely to be looking for a job again after the year the Jets have had. He seems to be a high character guy as well and is given the title of Assistant HC to help provide leadership for the team.
Offensive Assistant: Bob April
Son of special teams coordinator
Special Team Coordinator: Bobby April
Bobby April is considered one of the best in the business. He joins the Lions to help turn our special teams play around and to rejoin his son.
Special Team Assistant: Duce Staley
Staley is brought along to continue helping Bobby April
Starting Cap Space: Roughly $20 million
Player Retirements
Kyle Vandenbosch
Kyle has not gotten it done. I think he decides to hang up the helmet while he is ahead.
Savings: $3 million
Calvin Johnson
Savings: $3 million
Matthew Stafford
Ndamukong Suh
I will be honest and say I am not sure how this works. I would hope Schwartz and Mayhew meet with these two and work out long term extensions to help avoid a fiscal cliff. If this is not possible they simply restructure Stafford.
Minimal Savings: $8 million
Nate Burleson
Dominic Raiola
Stephen Peterman
Burleson and Raiola are both warriors and would be nice to keep but the business side of football often reigns supreme.
Minimal Savings: $10.7 million
Roughly 44.7 Million
Franchise Tag:
Cliff Avril
The front office uses the franchise tag to buy more time for a long term deal.
Chris Houston- 4 years/ $28 million
DeAndre Levy- 3 years/ $9 million
Corey Williams- 1 year/ $1 million
Lawrence Jackson- 1 year/ $1 million
Kassim Osgood- 1 year/ $800k
Ashlee Palmer- 1 year/ $700k
Don Muhlbach- 3 years/ $2.7 million
Jason Hanson-2 year/ $5 million
Kellen Moore- 2 years/ S1 million
Patrick Edwards- 2 years/ $1 million
Rodney Austin- 2 year/ $1 million
Carmen Messina- 1 year/ $480k
Don Carrey-1 year/ $550k
Ricardo Silva- 1 year/ $480k
Restricted Free Agents:
Jason Fox (original round tender)-renogiated to 2 year/ 2 million
Willie Young (2nd round tender)- renegotiate 2 year/ 2 million
Joique Bell (2nd round tender) renegotiate 3 years/ 4 million
Amari Spievey (original round tender) tag signed
Total Cap Spent retaining players: Roughly $24 million
Rough estimate of cap: $20 million
Noticeable Departures:
Louis Delmas
Leader of the defense leaves. Lions cannot offer him the money he wants to ride the bench with injuries.
Justin Durant
I think between Levy and Durant one will leave in free agency.
Sammie Lee Hill
Hill will be offered equivalent money or more money to start for another team. He takes the offer.
Gosder Cherilus
Gosder is a solid player. I suspect some team will overpay for his services.
Free Agents
WR-Mohamed Massaquoi-3 year/ 5 million
Massaquoi decided to rejoin Stafford in the pros. He will compete for a #2 spot.
CB-Ron Bartell-1 year/ 2 million
Ron Bartell rejoins Spagnuolo and Flajole and provides the Leos with a stop gap
S-Yeremiah Bell- 1 year/ 1.5 million
Yeremaih Bell is talented but getting old. He follows Thurman and Sparano and provides another stop gap.
S- Michael Mitchell- 1 year/ 1 million
Mitchell was expected to start for the Raiders this season prior to injury. He signs a smaller contract to prove he is worth more.
OL-Ebon Britton-2 year/ 1.75 million
Britton has found himself on the bench for the Jaguars. He will provide valuable depth at RT/RG and could possibly develop into a starter.
RG-Geoff Schwartz-3 year/ 7million
Schwartz got a look from the lions this past offseason. He is brought in again but stays in Detroit this time around.
DT Amobi Okoye-1 year/ 1 million
Okoye has fallen from grace. He has been cut by the Texans, Bucs, and twice by the Bears. I think he joins the Lions with a chance to resurrect his career in our DT rotation.
LB Geno Hayes-1 year/1 million
Geno Hayes will provide valuable depth, exspecially in passing situations.
Total cap spent in new acquisitions: $10 million
Rough Estimate of cap: $12 million
Cliff Avril to the Jacksonville Jaguars for their 2nd and 4th round draft choices.
Titus Young to the Miami Dolphins for two 7th round draft choices and a 2014 conditional draft choice.
**The Detroit Lions trade their 1st and a future 4th to the to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their 1st and 2nd round picks-The Buccaneers select CB Milliner
1-LB Dion Jordan-Oregon
The Lions have to fix the defense. The lions select Jordan to play SAM in our new defensive scheme. Jordan has the experience and fluidity to play in space and the length to deceive quarterbacks while doing so. Jordan can also be blitzed to exploit weakness. He will also likely lineup at DE in nickel and dime situations.
Comparison: IMO a better Mathias Kiwanuka
2(Jag)-DE Alex Okafor-Texas
I know that some may not like going front seven back to back but it is a necessity. Okafor has played DE at a high level and has succeeded at DT. I think he can step in day one at LE. He could go higher but I think he may fall as a result of the number of athletic defensive ends available.
Comparison: Justin Tuck
2-CB Xavier Rhodes-Florida State
Rhodes is my favorite CB prospect. I think he will fall a bit because teams may think he is a CB/s tweener. He has a chance to start in his rookie year.
2-S David Amerson-North Carolina State
Amerson is a playmaker plain and simple. I do think he will end up slipping come draft day because he is better suited playing FS and there are bound to be some combine risers. Amerson did h play safety in high school and is a hard worker. I think he could end up being the steal of the draft.
3-CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson-UConn
Wreh-Wilson is a big corner who has gone under the radar. He has a ton of potential and could develop into a starter.
4-S Phillip Thomas-Fresno
Phillip Thomas is another playmaker. He has some challenged ahead of him but he could easily develop into a starter.
5- TE Tyler Kelce- Cincinnati
Tylers brother plays for the eagles. He has been productive and is athletic enough that he played some wildcat QB. He is the kind of guy we need to develop.
6-OL Graham Pocic-Illinois
Pocic plays center but he could probably play anywhere on the interior. He is bigger than your normal center and may measure up to 67 at the combine. That kind of height could cause leverage issues but Pocic has played against a ton of NFL talent over the years.
7-DE Craig Roh-Michigan
Homer pick. I think Roh is going to fall under the category of players who do better in the pros. He is a hard worker, team player, and great athlete. He just needs time to develop at a single position.
7-P Quinn Sharp- Oklahoma State
The lions really need a new punter. Quinn can do more than punt. He can kick, be used on fakes, and take over kickoffs to keep Hanson fresh.
7-WR/RB Sammy McGuffy-Rice
It has long been reported that he runs a 4.3 forty. He is a great athlete with experience at WR/RB/KR. He could easily develop into the utility/big play guy that the lions have been missing.
Notable UDFA
S-Ray Ray Armstrong-none
Armstrong is a first round talent who was part of the Miami recruiting scandal. He did not play football this year as a result. He could be a huge steal if given time to get back on track.
DT-William Campbell-Michigan
Campbell was a huge recruit from Detroit. He has the natural ability to be as dominant as any defensive tackle but has not put it all together.
WR-Mark Harrison-Rutgers
Harrison has put up dominant numbers in 2010 but has not matched those in the next two years combined. He is a big, athletic receiver with potential.
OT-Sean Hooey-Cincinnati
Hooey is 6-8, has long arms, and is fluid. The only problem is he is inexperienced as he has been hurt constantly.
QB, WR, RB-MarQueis Gray-Minnesota
MarQueis Gray could be referred to as Dennard Robinson light except that he is 64 250lbs. He is a great athlete and can make plays as a wide out and in the backfield. He will need some development but could make an impact in the future.
QB TE-Collin Klein- Kansas State
Klein has the size and athleticism to be an intriguing developmental QB. He is however similar to Tim Tebow in that proper handling and several years before he should considered a serious option on the depth chart.
OLB-Archibald Barnes-Vanderbilt
Barnes has moved positions many times during his career. This means he does need some work but has the athleticism and work ethic to become a solid pro.
RG-Blaize Foltz-TCU
Foltz has experience and freakish strength but is not particularly fluid and has a history with injuries.
FB/DE-Taimi Tutogi-Arizona
Tutogi plays FB and acts as a situational pass rusher. He will likely be kept around for practice squad.
Roster Entering Training Camp:
QB-Stafford, Hill, Moore, Klein
RB-Leshoure, Bell, Best
TE/FB-Pettigrew, Scheftler, Kelce, Tutogi
WR-Johnson, Thomas, Edwards, Harrison
WR-Massaquoi, Broyles, Osgood

FS- Amerson
CB-Houston, Wreh Wilsom
DB- Green, Carey
LS Muhlbach
K Hanson
P Sharp
Notable Cuts:
Geno Hayes
Michael Mitchell
Amari Spievey
Chris Greenwood**Moved to practice squad. He is unlikely to be picked up by another team as he is from a small school and missed a year with injury.
Practice Squad:
1. QB/TE-Collin Klein
2. RB/WR-MarQuis Gray
3. FB/DE-Taimi Tutogi
4. RG Blaize Foltz
5. OT Sean Hooey
6. S-Ray Ray Armstrong
7. CB-Chris Greenwood
8. LB Barnes or LB Messina
Total Cap entering season: Roughly $9 million
The defense has some young players, including three rookies starting. If these young players struggle this team could be in trouble. The secondary is also a concern as Bartell and Houston do have injury histories and they are backed up by young players. At safety, the veteran Bell will likely see rotation due to age.
Offensively the lions take some leaps of faith. Those leaps are Nagy producing and Reiff being ready to start. While Backus could remain at LT starting Reiff to start allows chemistry from Reiff to Schwartz. Best may not make it but the team gives him a shot. If so, McGuffy is on the roster and a player could be brought off the street.
If this were to miraculously happen I imagine they would look to roster cuts to bolster the DE spot. Perhaps the like of Mark Anderson could be cut by the Bills and replace Ronnell Lewis.
Comments and complaints encouraged.

I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out how they're going to keep the big three on this team (Stafford, Suh, Calvin). They're going to have to make a decision and keep two of them if they want to have a competitive roster, or they're going to have to convince Stafford or Suh to take a serious pay cut which I don't think is realistic. So, they pretty much have to keep Stafford, and that means that Suh would have to be traded or may just play out his contract. I just don't see a way they can pay all three of those guys and be competitive going forward. There are just too many holes on the roster.
I don't think Rhodes will be there in the second, but it's really early and hard to tell exactly where people will fall.
I enjoyed reading your mock and can tell you put a lot of work into it. I don't have any major complaints. Excellent work!

I absolutely love this mock.
I think having two Assistant HCs is a bit confusing, but I love the decisions you made, the justification for them, and the players you added. Job very well done.

Theres a lot to comment on, but the thing that I disagree with the most is getting rid of our secondary coach. He's done a great job turning bad players into good/serviceable players and he's developed our rookies well too.

That is a fair point. The secondary has played well considering the investment put into it but their have been some little things that concerned me. Like the inability of our players to turn and locate the ball (Bentley, Green, Lacey) or little breakdowns like Florence letting someone behind him in cover 4. I would be happy either way.

I hate the idea of further restructuring, especially after JUST giving Calvin a new contract. I would rather have SLH than Corey Williams any day of the week, even for a few million more.

Linehan is leading the #2 offense and the #1 passing offense. This is despite ijuries to the likes of Nate, Best, Broyle and Young. This is combined with some less than idea oline play. While not perfect it seems unreasonable to let him go considering out current output and the impact on Stafford... at least in my opinion.

Well, restructuring Calvin costs very little over the course of his contract and I would hope for a Stafford extension. In regards to SLH, I think fans need to prepare for his departure. He is likely to leave for playing time unless we throw extra money at him...which would IMO be ridiculous.

That's like 20 incoming rookies between the roster and practice squad....wow
I don't think Rhodes, Amerson or Okafor will be there with a trade down. I think we might be in a position to draft one, maybe two if Amerson drops to the second. That's alot of rookies....

i think this offense should never stop attacking.......keep attacking in the close games and if their up by 20 in a game, they should be trying to go up by 40. keep taking shots down field on crucial drives rather than just handing it to leshoure for 2 or 4 yards. ideally id like to see the lions hang 50+ on teams with regularity and (when everyone is healthy) i think they can do that, but not with linehan at the helm.......he lets his foot off the gas too much, hes too soft........we need someone who will instill a killer instinct in this offense, linehan will never be the man for THAT particular job......

I agree with you. There's a reason the Pats are a winning team. They know how and you see their starters in games that are seemingly well over still scoring (almost to a fault) but they win.....a lot with argueably equal talent, health provided. We can't finish and don't play until half way through the 3rd quarter on most occasions. There has to be accountability for this somewhere.
I like your thought process of trimming fat and bringing on players like Okoye. Talent that needs coaching. However Mohamed has done little imo to show he's capable of being a 2 let alone a 3. Greg Little struggles mightily but can still manage to hold Mohamed off his PT.
SLH needs to stick and I think Nate will take a cut to stay and we need his attitude as well as production.
It's a ton of shake up, but I enjoyed the read and appreciate the time you spent putting this together.

First, that is a little presumptuous to claim that those you disagree with you are Lions fans. Most teams in the NFL become more conservative while nursing a lead late in the game. This allows the team to eat up for clock time and limit turn over.
It seems this methodology of always attack is the equivalent of cutting your own brake lines because you want to get somewhere fast. You will not be able to vary speed and you will crash.

I don't think Rhodes, Amerson or Okafor will be there with a trade down. I think we might be in a position to draft one, maybe two if Amerson drops to the second. That's alot of rookies....
I count 16 rookies between practice squad and active roster. For comparison sake, the Patriots currently have 14, the Eagles 18, and the Lions have 16 if you count our injured players.
As for the second round picks, I understand that. It is hard to say at this point. I tried to give reasonable explanations for their falls however.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I think he has been somewhat mishandled on a terrible Browns team.
Ideally we could get Nate back cheaper. I thought about doing that but assumed some would find fault with it. In regards to SLH, I think it is inevitable that he leaves. I hope I am wrong though.

I have a hard time believing that Bartell will sign for that cheap. I think the Raiders alone will offer a higher deal than that.(Where he's currently playing.)
Other than that though, solid mock. I like that idea of Jordan playing next to either Suh/Fairley. He's a real atheltic freak and with some real coaching at the position(DE). He can become something with technique adjustments and pass rushing moves. Not sure he's capable of playing OLB in a 4-3 front in the NFL. He's athletic sure but he's limited in his coverages. 6'7 Dion Jordan will have trouble running routes with some of the smaller TE's and pretty much any RB in space, imo. An a real miss-match if they happen to line up a slot WR against him. Just not a great idea to let Jordan play in that much space imo, 3-4 sure, 4-3. No.

Selena Gomez Goes After Instagram User For Cyberbullying
Listen to Selena Gomez Radio on iHeartRadio
Selena Gomez is making an example out of one Instagram user who rubbed her the wrong way. She's posted a screen shot of the response she wrote to an unknown female user, who appeared to have wished cancer upon the star in an earlier comment.
The comment and the account has since been deleted, but Selena is making clear she has no tolerance for cyberbullying. She told the user that her words about cancer were "absurd" and let her know that she had personally "gone through that battle with fans and family members."
The singer continued saying, "How distasteful of a young woman" and added that she should "educate [herself] a tad more." Selena ended her rant by telling the user she was "beautiful" and encouraging her to "be an amazing woman."

Hey there, time traveller!

Most tourists miss out on the gritty charms of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, whether out of disinterest or misguided fear. I know, because I was once one of them. Granted, the "outer boroughs" (minus Staten Island) are less glamorous than Manhattan, but they keep it real: no Disneyfication, overdevelopment or mass gentrification.
And it isn't like the outer boroughs are terra incognita. They've been immortalized in so many films -- The French Connection, Do the Right Thing, A Bronx Tale and Saturday Night Fever, to name a few classics -- it would take hours, maybe a whole Dog Day Afternoon, to name them all.
Spurred by a sense of discovery (and the fact that a few of my friends live in Brooklyn), I've slowly dipped my toes across the East River during visits to NYC. An adventurous spirit and a MetroCard will connect you to some of the city's most vibrant arts and cultural scenes, amazing eateries of every ethnicity imaginable, and loads of attractions and activities.
I recently spent a weekend at my buddy Jon's loft in "Billybush," a converted industrial zone straddling Williamsburg and Bushwick, populated by a mix of hipsters, Chinese merchants and Latin American street food and trinket vendors. My mission was to explore a unique highlight of each of the big three outer boroughs: sampling some of Brooklyn's famous pizza, taking in Queens' arts scene and catching a baseball game at Yankee Stadium.
A slice of Brooklyn
With New York-style pizza, as with most things in life, the really good stuff requires a bit of a shlep. Sure, there's a generic pizza joint every other block in the Big Apple, but for a slice of saucy, thin-crusted heaven, locals know that a pilgrimage is in order, usually to Brooklyn.
Although pizza first appeared stateside in Manhattan, that borough has developed a bum rap over the years. Its image has been somewhat rehabilitated lately, mainly by pizzerie that champion "authentic Neapolitan" pizza pies: Keste and the fine food emporium Eataly, among others. But for sheer volume of quality establishments, Brooklyn can't be beat.
Consider that famously impatient New Yorkers will stand "on line" for as long as two hours at the legendary DiFara's, where Dom DeMarco has been making each pie by hand for over 45 years.
The problem is getting people -- especially outer-borough-averse tourists -- to discover the area's pizza scene. For Tony Muia, a lifelong resident of Bensonhurst, the Italian enclave in southwest Brooklyn, this obstacle became the chance of a lifetime: quit his job and start up A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tours.
"I had travelled all over the world, and I realized that, when you want to find out about a place, you ask a local," he says. "People I met abroad were fascinated about Brooklyn, and I started showing them around when they'd come to town. Of course, I took them out for pizza, and it was their favourite part. What started as a hobby became a business."
As recently as five years ago, he claims, the number of Brooklyn tours was virtually nil.
"There's still a stigma about Brooklyn in some people's minds, the same way some people think that Domino's is real pizza," he says, adding that "after taking a spin with me, fuggedaboutit. They change their minds."
The tour usually starts at Grimaldi's, known for its coal-fired oven and New York style pies, near the Brooklyn Bridge. After driving around town, noting famed film and historic locations, the tour usually ends at L&B Spumoni Gardens, a Bensonhurst institution.
I paid a visit to L&B, which had the two telltale signs of a pizzeria worth the trip: the people standing next to me were overwhelmingly locals, and the place wasn't called "Ray's".
L&B lived up to the hype: the Sicilian-style pizza -a thick, rectangular, fluffy crust with a crisp bottom, made with the unusual signature of cheese under sauce -- was fantastic. With a soda and pistachio spumoni for dessert, you've got a complete, carb-overloaded meal. After eating half a pie in one sitting, I understood why Muia says he could eat L&B's pizza every day for the rest of his life.
Art of Queens
On a sunny day, there's nothing quite like exploring the oversized oddities at Socrates Sculpture Park, across the water from Roosevelt Island and Manhattan's Upper East Side. For a more urban experience, there's 5 Pointz, a massive warehouse turned into the world's biggest graffiti canvas.
Unfortunately for me, it was raining, so I opted to visit the MoMA PS1 museum instead. Housed in a former high school, it is one of North America's premier contemporary arts venues, with an ever-changing, always eclectic selection of exhibits, from the immersive, multimedia experience of Ryan Trecartin's Any Ever, to the sensual, voyeuristic photo graphy of Laurel Nakadate's Only the Lonely. Each summer, the museum's courtyard is transformed into a idyllic place where visitors can lounge around in arty comfort. This year's creation, Interboro Partners' Holding Pattern, turned the space into an open-air rec room, complete with Ping-Pong and foosball tables.
Take me out to a ball game
The last stop of my grand tour took me to hallowed ground: Yankee Stadium, home of the Bronx Bombers, the winningest franchise in all of pro sports. My buddy and I were even treated to a free pre-game show: as we passed through Harlem on the B train, a break dancing crew got onto our subway car and rocked some seriously gravity-defying moves between stops.
The sight of the new Yankee Stadium, opened in 2009, was as imposing and impressive as you'd imagine a ballpark that holds 50,000 rabid fans -- every game until eternity is virtually sold out, so it's almost impossible to buy face-value tickets. I bought mine via online reseller Stub Hub, and they didn't come cheap; in fairness, it was a "subway" match against cross-town rivals NY Mets.
I had attended a few Expos games back when they were still slugging it out at the Big O, but nothing prepared me for the wall of impassioned humanity cheering and jeering at each hit and run. When things were looking bleak for the home team, the Yanks came alive, scoring six runs in the span of two innings, winning the game. A fitting ending to the perfect N.Y. outing.

Clovis Watson elected to Florida House
Published: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 10:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 10:10 p.m.
Former Alachua City Manager Clovis Watson easily won election to the Florida House of Representatives from District 20 by outpolling write-in candidate Rob Brinkman.
Watson effectively won the post when he defeated fellow Democrat Marihelen Wheeler in the August primary.
But Gainesville's Brinkman had participated in campaign forums and earned some votes in both Marion and Alachua counties.
Watson collected 38,339 votes in Alachua County and 10,390 in Marion. Brinkman earned 1,900 in Alachua County and 421 in Marion. The results for both counties are unofficial.
Watson could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. He had to go through the general election after he outpolled Wheeler by wide margins throughout the district, which comprises parts of Alachua and Marion counties.
Retiring in 2009 as Alachua's city manager with an intent of running for political office, Watson said during the campaign that his major priority will be to help spur economic development.
"Some of the biggest issues we face are jobs and job opportunities. I think it is so very important that we create a climate to bring good jobs to District 20," Watson said. "We have got to keep our education system funded and support our children. We also have to protect … our public safety personnel. To do that, we have to create a climate for businesses to thrive."
Brinkman, a carpenter, ran for the Gainesville City Commission in 2003 and 2005 and for the Soil and Water Conservation District in 2008.
District 20 includes eastern Alachua County along with swaths of the county southwest to Archer and northwest to Lacrosse. The district also includes part of Marion County.

Reaching out to young STEM students
By Steven Powell, email@example.com, 803-777-1923
USC played host to more than 1,000 high school, middle school and home school students over fall break (Oct. 18 and 19) with the second annual installment of the Edison Lecture Series in the College of Engineering and Computing.
The goal was to create more enthusiasm for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) areas by showing students the impact of compelling technology applications in everyday life and potential careers.
"The United States is falling behind many countries such as China, Australia and Denmark in the number of engineers and computer scientists who are graduating from college and entering the workforce," said Kathryn McPhail, director of communications and marketing for the College of Engineering and Computing. "We hope the Edison Lecture Series will show young students the many career possibilities that are out there for engineers and computer scientists."
Brief presentations by professors Jason O'Kane, Wenyuan Xu and Travis Knight in Amoco Hall covered robotics, wireless surveillance and how television has evolved throughout the years. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation concluded the hour-long program with a demonstration of high-tech surveillance gear. The students were then able to interact in smaller groups with demonstrations set up throughout the first floor of the Swearingen Engineering Center and had the opportunity to tour the campus as well.
Tinoia Gaddist, a math teacher from Alcorn Middle School who brought 82 eighth graders to the Edison Lecture, said the students were "really excited to see the robots – they were fascinated to see them in action.
"Hopefully we can piggy-back off of this as we enter the classroom and create more conversation. It gives us something to talk about."
Dea Jones, who teaches advanced and honors math students at Summit Parkway Middle School, welcomed the message of the event. "These are the brightest kids, with the highest test scores in our school," she said. "We want to show them that they they've got a future in front of them, that there are exciting, interesting jobs available if you're interested in math."
Jennifer Viglino, a physical sciences teacher who came with 65 students from Hammond Middle School, said the students enjoyed it. "They made a real connection. We had talked about cathode tubes with the development of atomic theory, so with the discussion of television development, they really got it."
"And if they had a favorite, it was probably the FBI," said Katherine Muller, a math teacher also with the Hammond Middle School group. "They thought that part of the program was really cool."
Viglino hopes the FBI presentation will soon be able to create more connections. "We have a forensics component we're going to be doing soon – some applied chemistry with fingerprint oils, using skid marks to estimate the speed of a car."
Targeting students early is critical for STEM education, said Rose Dangerfield of Time Warner Cable, which helped sponsor the event. "There is a real need in the STEM areas for the education of students – and by students, I mean middle and high school students as opposed to college. That's a big part of why we've connected with the Edison Lecture Series, because we want kids to know: this is fun, this is cool stuff."

A Few Days of Pain…(Non Motorbike Related)
Well, it happened again. After this little horror episode in my life last December, I had hoped that the problem with my sinus was cured.
No such luck.
Last Thursday, an hour before I would have left work, a blood vessel ruptured way up in my sinus cavity, (probably that same one…), and I had to go to the hospital again.
I've since spent this beautiful riding weekend flat on my back in bed, with not just one, but TWO horrible devices shoved up my nose, like a pair of fists balled up behind my eyeballs, putting constant pressure on the bleed until I can get in for surgery Monday morning. This is the kind of pain that can drive you mad, were it not for the Percoset and Valium thoughtfully prescribed by my doctor.
The surgery they are going to perform tomorrow has me a little freaked-out. Apparently, to fix this problem near the top of my head, they have to start by inserting something into an artery in my groin? Then, under the guidance of x-rays, they will undergo the Fantastic Voyage all the way up to the faulty vessel, where they will plug that sucker up for good.
The procedure is called "Embolization", and I have Googled it enough to give me nightmares. I'm REALLY not looking forward to this…
What if they miss the target? The only thing back-stopping it is my brain! What if they kick loose a couple of little blood clots along the way and send them upstairs?
The same imagination which allows me to write like I do can be a real curse in these situations.
Never mind. I hope to be back to work on Wednesday or Thursday of next week, and hopefully this blog will resume normal operations next weekend. Until then…
Wish me luck.

How do I get a Facebook page for my business?
When you sign up for Facebook you can choose to create a 'page' instead of a profile.
Go from there. You can look up how to customize the page on the internet. There are even books on it.
Yep, it's quite a complex topic if you go deep enough on it. There is a way to have HTML tabs on your page and display content for non-fans and fans, from here you can paste your HTML code. You're also able to customize your tabs on the left-hand side. I've not actually read a book on the matter, don't really like reading book, prefer to learn by example.
Wish you luck
Members, please note that the basic "how do I" question has been answered. If you have other comments to bring to the thread in terms of making the most of the page/ configuring it / etc please share them but let's stay away from providing the same facts a dozen times.
I'm not so sure that tabs will work anymore with FB Timeline, which, in my understanding will be default by the end of this month.
Just noticed, it's a little broken now with FB Timeline, which will be the standard on the end of the month So whether you like it or not, you'll be on timelines! Not sure what the people are going to do who have subscription with premium facebook pages on services like http://www.pagemodo.com/facebook_pages.
Not to take this thread off-topic, but although timeline for pages is a problem for some, I certainly understand (or think I do) FB's reasoning. I believe they want to keep control of their brand and lately a lot of pages are beginning to look more like min-website of their own rather than FB pages.
Today, Facebook plays a crucial role in the Internet. It's one of the greatest social network. Here you can chat with people, find new friends, listen to music, watching video, read news and etc. Also, it is possible to present your business on FB and to high its rankings. Thus, if you want to get a FB page for your business you just need to create not your profile, but a page. Today you can find a lot o information about customizing your business. It's easy, everything you need it's a little persistence and time.
It was getting that way. I think it actually did us some good really. Facebook is not a website and many were treating it as a mini-website. I would dread to be part of one of these social media companies who now have completely change how they do things just to cope with Facebook's new changes. Imagine trying to explain to the clients that you're going to have to drop all those shiny new pages you coded for them. I feel it's going to hit them the hardest as now Facebook page hacks will gradually be a thing of the past.[/ot]
Okay the generic question has been asked and answered. To the OP, now that you know "how" to get started, if you have a specific question please ask it in a new thread.

text: Unless Adriana Lima's soon to be ex-husband hated Justin Bieber with every ounce of his being, I'm not sure what would cause her to hook up with Justin Bieber. According to US Weekly, Adriana Lima and Justin did just that in Cannes. I'm trying to come up with any plausible reason why she should. Or would. Actually I often wonder why any woman anywhere would want to hook up with a guy who takes a month of not shaving to get any hint of peach fuzz on his face and is guaranteed to cheat on you and get his bodyguards to intervene if you yell at him. It doesn't make for a very fair fight about leaving the toilet seat up if he sends in five of his goons to tell you that he is going to leave it up. Adriana Lima? Really? Then again, she probably could have married any NBA player and she chose to marry Marko Jaric.

Breastfeeding with a biting baby: help needed
We have been breastfeeding for 13 months now and my baby has 6 teeth going on 7. All was going fine until a couple of weeks ago when he started biting during breastfeeding. Ouch! Sometimes it's really hard and he won't stop biting until I use my little finger to break the latch. Has anyone got any advice on how to minimise the biting or what I should do when it occurs? Thank you in advance for your help.

Can you work out why your son is biting? Some of the reason's babies bite include:
- Teething
- For attention
- When distracted
- At the end of breastfeeding
I often find a baby will bit at the end of breastfeeding - when they've had enough. What your baby carefully and you may see some signs. He may stop sucking as vigorously and/or may start to fidget. Take him off the breast as soon as you see any signs that he's had enough to try to avoid the biting.
When he does bite take him of the breast calmly off the breast straight away. You could say nothing or something like "don't you want to breastfeed now". It is better to avoid yelling or making a loud sound (though this can be hard if it really hurts).
If you think biting during breastfeeding is because of teething offer him something cold to bite on and gently tell him this is for biting and be careful when you breastfeed.
Often when we feed an older baby we get distracted like reading a book, talking to others and watching television. Focus your attention on your baby and look for the signs that he may be about to bite.
Positively reinforce when your baby is attached to the breast and feeding comfortably. Babies, even from a young age, learn to breastfeeding correctly when offered gentle encouragement.

Thank you aussiemidwife for your help with this.
I think it's because he is teething. But I have to admit I am sometimes distracted too whilst I'm feeding so I am going to re-focus on giving him my full attention whilst breastfeeding. He also seems to bite more during the end of a feed when he is drinking less milk so I will look out for this.
Many thanks again.

I have had experiences with biting too. I agree with the advice from aussiemidwife. When my little ones would bite whilst breastfeeding, I would break the latch with my finger (if the baby would not let go), and then I would firmly say no bite. I would try not to yell, as that can get the baby upset and make him or her not want to breastfeed. I know it is hard to not yell when it happens suddenly.
I would also lay him down and not let him breastfeed again for a few minutes, if he bit me more than once. I would then give him something to chew on. Washcloths soaked with water and put in the freezer for a few minutes can work, as well as teething rings. We just received a teething necklace, and I really love that, as well. I would watch for cues that he may be done breatsfeeding too, as I found mine would often bite towards the end of a feeding, as well. I hope that helps a little.

Yes you're right aussiemidwife, one reason a baby bites because he/she is teething. Just like my son, when he started biting I tried to tell him softly "no biting" and then pull him off the breast. It worked for me and the moment he's about to bite again, it seems that he already knows what's going to happen next and he just stops then looks at me then smiles. Soo cute.
21st February 2012 10:25 PM #6
Thank you for your advice and personal experiences with this ladies.
I can report that the biting is practically non-existent now: a great relief. My little lad has had two more teeth come through since I posted this question so I guess that goes a long way to explaining the biting.

Time for a change
November 13, 2012
Last weekend in Sonoma County's wine country, I observed a late-model Chrysler 300 sedan with governmental plates registered to the California Department of Motor Vehicles and was wondering why any DMV employee would be issued such a luxurious vehicle in these times of dire economic conditions and state budgetary concerns (current cost for this model is from the high $30,000s to the low $40,000s).
In his previous role as governor, Jerry ("Moonbeam") Brown (himself, no chauffeur) drove an older, nondescript Plymouth, adhering to his monkish belief ideologies. Perhaps it was purchased by the hidden slush fund in the Parks and Recreation Department? Something else is "fishy in Denmark" beside the current scandalous, calamitous and, yes, murderous behavior of our elected representatives in Washington.

Ten tornadoes touched down within 90 minutes of each other. A strong, 700-yard wide tornado ripped a six-mile swatch of farmhouses and electrical lines from McCook Country. The most violent tornado, an EF4 with 220 mph winds in the greater Spencer area, proved to be the most destructive in state history. It obliterated nearly all of Spencer's 190 buildings—including nearly every house in its northeast quadrant—and killed six people. Half of Spencer's residents opted never to return.

Did you use a Lactation Consultant?
As some of you already know, I struggled with breastfeeding at first but we got there in the end and my baby loves it! I posted my breastfeeding story here. After around 3 weeks of difficulties with latching on we got in touch with a Lactation Consultant who came to our house to give us some one-to-one breastfeeding advice. I really can't praise this lady enough as she was so patient and showed me some new tips for helping my son to latch on. If anyone is struggling with breastfeeding and feels they cannot continue (like I did) I would really recommend getting in touch with one of these professions. You can search for a Lactation Consultant near you here. Please don't suffer on your own - excellent help is available out there.

Having an appointment with a lactation consultant in pregnancy can be a big help for planning ahead. This is particularly helpful if you've experienced difficulty in the past.

Lactation consultants can be great. We actually have a breastfeeding clinic here that is ran by a doctor and several consultants. Many women make appointments there right after birth, just to get a check up.

Made in Hawick, Scotland, by a third-generation specialist in luxury knitwear, this is the men's 100% cashmere cardigan. Unlike many cashmere garments, which contain blends of other natural fibers, this sweater is crafted exclusively for Hammacher Schlemmer entirely from the fine fleece of Central Asian goats. The yarn is made from six strands of two-ply cashmere, spun by artisans at a 140-year-old family-owned firm located in the Scottish Borders, a region that has been home to a renowned knitwear industry since 1771. The result is an exquisite cardigan with a sumptuously soft hand. As cozy and comfortable as a robe yet as structured and sophisticated as a jacket, the sweater provides the optimal amount of warmth without the bulk or weight of standard knit items. Ideal for walks among chilly, damp moors or wind-swept hills, the sweater's relaxed fit has a casual shawl collar, five leather buttons, and two front pockets. Unlike lesser types of wool, the durable cashmere will not pill after repeated wearings. Dry clean only. Charcoal. Men's sizes M (44), L (46), XL (48), and XXL (50). (2 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Scottish Cashmere Cardigan comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at email@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

I am not one to nit-pick, but nothing about these videos shows that "Steve Jobs was a genius". He understood the market and understood what people wanted. Nothing about the videos even shows/claims how much of this knowledge was truly his. I am sure he played a big part, but I was hoping to see something groundbreaking. Instead I saw somewhat of a business plan...
Bill Gates was the genius. Not in systems but marketing. He got the public hooked on several products. Jobs did that with the iPhone certainly. Afterward he was able to keep the iPhone out front when competition ensued. I just don't think Jobs did it as well as Gates. They each made key decisions at critical times and both did well.
Comparing Bill Gates to Steve Jobs is like comparing apples to oranges. Gates made what?? Software and a whopping 3 products I can count gates made an os, microsoft office, and the dreaded Zune. The Zune flopped. Microsoft is a software company. They never did anything hardware. apple made both and does them both exceptionally well the iPhone being probably the biggest. But let's not forget the iPod he revolutionized music and the way we listen.
Apple wasn't about making just another computer or product they are about revolutionizing an industry they keep rethinking what is possible. Apple doesn't have to be a marketing expert the products they produce speak for them selves. I can't name one person who doesn't have an isomething.
"Steve Jobs was a genius - Watch how he used to eat an enchilada"I have a lot of respect for Steve but i mean come on, the video itself in no way shows him doing anything above average intelligence. And all this Bill Gates vs Steve jobs crap i mean come on they are both hugely successful and so different to compare, gates = computer smart, jobs = business smart.
Just about everything in IOS is from a cydia app and IOS 5 is more like a copy of Android so he's not a genius he's just a thief and got away with it.
I'm still to see something in IOS thats new and original and not stolen from somewhere else.
Notification Center - Android
Messenger - Blackberry
Siri - the app Siri that worked on every iPhone now limited to 4S
The App Store - Installer & Cydia
Wifi Sync - ActiveSync + Windows Mobile and earlier.
See, these are just a few things in IOS that are stolen from other places so how can you call anyone that works in IOS a genius?
There are brown nosing fans that will believe anything he said but if you step back and had a look at the real world you would see everything is just stolen from somewhere else. If everything was not stolen then prove me wrong and show me something original in IOS.
Jobs was very clever but not a genius, he was an exceptional salesman, he new what would sell and what was marketable and how to put it across so it would sell, but a genius, No
he didn't code any of the apps we see him using, and I'll stick to that unless there is a video of him coding the apps
the iPod came from a british citizen that invented a digital music player but he couldn't afford to renew his pattern, Apple bought the pattern, made the iPod and Madoff with millions
Steve Jobs wasn't a Genius, he was A Magpie (which seems to be fair game in the world of computing, had it being in any other field it would be plagiarism or theft)
Edit: he was a Genius if it came to ripping other peoples ideas and selling them in a new way to make a **** load of money, like the computer mouse which belonged to Xerox
"Steve Jobs Was A Genius "Are you gonna blow him anytime soon?
It's NOT what the consumer wants. We want OUR iPhone the way WE want it NOT the way Jobs wants it. We also wanted it with Flash but we never got it so Apple did it the way he wanted it and he didn't have a clue what the consumer wanted. If the iPhone is so good then why are Android phones selling so well? It's because thats more to what everyone wants. The only reason people still get an iPhone is because the apps are better on the iPhone than on the Android but the Android is a better phone.
I cant wait to see how the iPhone evolves from now on without Jobs getting in the way. IF Apple listen to the consumer they MIGHT actually make a good phone and one that consumers might actually want.

King James was a Mason and he joined forces with the Catholic Church, the "main office" of the Illuminati, to rewrite the Word of God so that you and I would never have a clue about these children of Satan OR their plans. This bible came out in 1611, or there-abouts.
In the original release of the Bible there were two letters in the front of the book, the preface. One letter is still there, it is basically a letter praising King James....long live the King, etc,. The second letter was a letter "from the Interpreters to the Reader," and this letter basically states that you should not take this book word for word for two reasons:
Reason #1) Some of the words in the original manuscripts could not be translated into English, so the "best" interpretation was used (even though this "best" interpretation was lousy).
Reason #2) You should not take these words "at their value" because the Catholic Church was in charge of these "works" and the Catholics don't want you to know the truth about God's Word because it would expose them as the liars that they are (I'm paraphrasing). Folks, you have to know the truth befotre you can turn it into a lie.
In this letter from the Interpreters, they use language like this: the Catholics were afraid to bring their word to the touchstone because it would show their word to be false. Folks, a touchstone is a black siliceous stone used by gold miners. When a miner/prospector thought he had found gold, he would pull out a touchstone and 'scratch" his gold acroos this touchstone, and if it were truly gold then there would be a gold streak across this stone. if there was not a gold streak, then the miner knew that he had found "fools gold." And this is what the Interpreters called the Catholic religion....fools gold, a fake. Look this up yourself on-line...search "1611 Bible." It's in an old form of English and it can be hard to understand, but it's there.
In rewriting the Word of God, the Masons/Illuminati knew that they couldn't just rewrite the parts that tell us of Satan bringing his off-spring into this world to corrupt it. That would be too obvious. So they rewrote the entire book.
The Catholic Church also knew that they could not "trap" everybody with Catholicism, so they had bishops "branch out" and form other religions. Martin Luther was a bishop who went out to create The Lutheran Church. Ignatio De Loyola was a Catholic who went out to form the Jesuits and so on. Folks, 99% of the Churches out there are "false" churches...so be careful. Do you believe in The Rapture? Then I strongly urge you to do a web search of "Margaret MacDonald." This rapture theory is the most evil thing used to mislead Christians. Mararet, herself, said that her dream (which was used to create the Rapture Theory by a couple of priests) was an evil dream. But these two priests used it as a way to keep you from knowing the True Word. Of course you are going to read and hear others say things to the contrary, but don't be fooled.
The Masons/Illuminati have a long, long record of writing books that supposedly "prove" that the truth I speak of is a lie. When they argue a point you will see how they use statements like "so and so disproved your theories a long time ago." In other words, the Masons use these written "books of lies" as a "legal precedence" to try and debunk the truth, as well as debunk anyone telling the truth.
In researching the Masons and the Illuminati (and all other secret societies), you will find that in almost EVERY case, there were priests involved in the conception of that secret society, priests who are/were a member of a Catholic religion (Lutheran, Pentecostal, Jesuit, Baptist, etc).
Now people, listen up...so far the news has been bad..but there IS good news. You see, our God will not judge people for their sins IF THAT PERSON HASN'T REACHED THE " SPIRITUAL LEVEL" OF RESPONSIBILITY.
And folks, with what the churches are teaching today, NO-ONE can reach that level. I'm not saying you are free to go out and murder or kill or rape, I'm just saying that our Father is awesome, and you would know that what I say is true, if only you were taught the truth and not the lies of the church. I have no problem bringing my "understanding" to the touchstone. It's also stated in Romans, by Paul, that God, Himself, has blinded many people so that they cannot see the truth of His Word. God does this out of love, He does this so that He WON'T have to cause your soul to perish. I believe that he also does this in order to allow Satan and his children to "fullfill" the plan that they have been given. A plan that will cause the Masons/Illuminati to stumble and fall......right into the Pit.

Sandy • The stage never is bigger for Murray's Clayton Powell than when he takes the field against regional rival Skyline.
Somehow it becomes even bigger when played at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Powell put away the lone score of the game in the 51st minute after being fouled hard at the top of the box to lead the Spartans past Skyline at the home of Real Salt Lake on Tuesday.
While four Skyline defenders linked arms to block the free kick, Powell dusted himself off and took aim. Not waiting for instructions from the sideline, he approached the ball and curved it over the leaping fullbacks to the top right shelf.
The Murray faithful screamed "Goal!!!" as Powell was swarmed by his teammates.
"So beautiful," Spartan keeper Tanner Critchfield said. "I can't believe that came off of Clay's foot."
The conditions at Rio Tinto were dreadful.
Blustering winds swept across the field, which deadened any punted balls. Powell noticed that Murray had difficulty building momentum thanks to the weather and Skyline's defense.
"The wind was a big factor," Powell said. "But in the second when we had the wind at our backs, we started to play really well."
Skyline keeper Steve Floor was challenged throughout the game. He sacrificed his body to make stops at times, while the soccer gods smiled upon him by pushing Murray's kicks wide or against the post.
"I felt like we made him look really, really good," Powell said. "We should have scored a lot more goals today, so props to him."
The Spartans improved to 4-2-1 with the victory.
"Getting one at Rio Tinto feels pretty good," Powell said with a big smile. "Our team played great. I was just lucky to finish one off for the win."
Murray 1, Skyline 0
O Clayton Powell converts a free kick for the game's lone goal at Rio Tinto Stadium.

McCombs Community ·
Student organizations are an excellent opportunity to develop and demonstrate leadership skills while connecting with industry leaders. Depending on the interests and goals of each class of MBA students, a number of student organizations form each year to further professional development opportunities, serve the university or build social networks. Below is a sample of some of the organizations that have been the most popular in past years.
The Class Coordinating Committee (CCC) is a group of EMBA students who promote class camaraderie by organizing and raising funds to support student-sponsored Texas EMBA traditions. For example, the CCC coordinates the mentoring program, which partners first-year students with second-year students, traditional gift-giving for incoming and outgoing students, and end of year parties.
The committee consists of 10 members from each class. Most activities and the majority of the work will take place during the second semester of your first year, but a one-time collection of funds happens during the first semester. Historically, classes have collected $150-$200 per student to fund the activities for the two years.
This group is open to all Executive MBA students. Members of this group serve as a board of advisors to EMBA students that run businesses, or are in the process of starting a business. The board of advisors will meet to share business expertise, help solve business challenges, and help each other create actionable strategic plans.

Hi there,
After one week googleing around, this list is maybe my last chance to
solve my problem.
Version- monowall 1.22
WAN - PPPoE (WADSL)
LAN - fixed, dhcp enabled
firewall rules: LAN and WAN pass any, any any, any...
When first time used (factoey defaults) i had trouble conecting with
www.!gmail.com, some blog web sites. Aslo was unable to do any POST
(like submiting some forms on almost every web). Also i was unable to
send emails (with Thunderbird), but i can receive.
My first step was swiching browsers (Firefox, IE, Opera) and some email
clients, but problem was the same with all of them.
My second step was VPN with my office, it works perfect (i also use
monowall there) and, when I am VPN-end to my office my internet works
perfect (web, smtp, pop etc.). I tought that maybe my ISP (at home) is
blocking some trafic, so I started squid proxy on my server (outside my
networks - dedicated server) and set up all my internet programs to use
this proxy. It was big progres, some of the web sites worked, i was able
to send some emails, but without attch. Gmail was still unaccesible (it
just starts to load but never finishing)
My next step was analysing monowall logs, and i notice that it blocks
tcp with some webs like gmail, some blogs etc. I finally, turnd off
monowall, plug PPPoE directly in one of my comp. and everything worked
perfect (so it is not my ISP blocking anything).
I turned on monowall again (ssh works fine, ftp works fine), problems
are still here. I cannot login with msn, but i can with gaim (on my msn
account)! These confused me.
I checked monowall firewall rules, so Checked "Allow fragmented packets"
both for WAN and LAN, since this was the last option i haven't tried.
And wow, i was able to login gmail!!, but still with using my proxy. I
turned off my proxy, and :( nothing works. Then I turned off trafic
shaper. It looked like there is some improvment, some webpages can be
accesed, some not.
At the moment, i am still using my proxy (outside my networks) and i can
use internet normaly. But, i just don't want to use proxy.
So if anyone can help me and tell me waht to do so i can acces all webs,
msn, blogs, post forms etc. please do!
