Spare Time
I spend a lot of time teaching and doing research. What do I do on vacation?
I, as you can see from the picture on the right, like to whitewater kayak. The paddling techniques are so important and intense that there is a whole volunteer learning community surrounding the sport. Every volunteer contributes in his or her own way; I used my teaching expertise to painlessly develop surveys and improve curriculum.
More readily available forms of exercising enjoyment are biking and hiking. Madison was rated by Outside Magazine as one of the top ten locations in the United States to live, because of the easy access to biking trails.
When I really have some free time I drive all the way to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky to go caving. While this may be an odd sport, cavers get to see some of the best natural wonders of the world!

POPS UK is the British branch or the Parachutists Over Phorty Society (for skydivers over the age of forty) . The first POPS was founded in 1966 in the USA; the UK Society was started in 1978. POPS UK currently has membership numbers of about 1000. Membership is via application and a lifetime subscription, currently £20.
The UK POPS has a main meet each year on the last weekend in June, which traditionally includes the "Hit and Rock" competition. Additional meets, including big way record attempts, and introductions to new disciplines held from time to time.
The main competition of the meet is usually four way scrambles, and if there is time of the weather warrants it we have an accuaracy or target accuracy competition. Oh, yes. I nearly forgot. We also have barbies and parties and drink some wine and beer at these meetings.
There are also less formal gatherings such as occasional meets, for example, in Cyprus. In addition, there is full program of POPS meets around Europe

Just when you thought it was safe to jump in the volatility water, bam — more bad euro zone news hits the tape.
The Volatility Index (CBOE:VIX) spent a rare day (for fall 2011) below 30 on Tuesday. But thanks to Wednesday's huge sell-off, it now sits closer to overbought than anything else.
What's overbought, you say? Well, I define that as 20% above its 10-day simple moving average (SMA) and/or at the upper Bollinger Band on the standard 20-day, 2 Standard Deviation look. And VIX pretty much hit both Tuesday.
That's on account of VIX itself flying over 30% higher, something you don't see too often. At least, you didn't see it too often until this year, as pretty much all rules are made to be broken.
So what's it all mean?
Well, the VIX is intended as a mean-reversion indicator. In other words, when it stretches too far above or below something we might define as a mean, we expect to see it snap back. In theory, this says you should fade moves that stretch too far. Because the VIX moves in opposition to the market, that says we want to go long when VIX gets overbought.
But if you do, tread very carefully. In 2011, an overbought VIX has gotten extremely – well — overbought. I use 20% above the SMA as a cut-off, mainly because it doesn't happen that often. (The VIX would typically only stretch like that a few times per year.)
And now in 2011, that theory itself has become stretched. The VIX surged a record 71% above its 10-day SMA in August, so getting long the market when it crossed the 20% threshold proved disastrous.
We have a pretty obvious reasons for this constant surge in volatility. The correlation in the market has exploded this year. I cringe every time I hear someone on TV say "Risk On, Risk Off," but that's essentially the easiest way to describe it.
Everything moves as one big trade. Market volatility, proxied by the VIX, depends on two factors: the volatility of the stocks themselves that comprise the index, and the degree to which they correlate.
The higher the volatility of the components, the higher the index volatility. And the greater they correlate, also, the higher the index volatility. And right here, right now, it's the extreme correlation that is putting a bid into market volatility.
If you're trading, it probably doesn't pay to stock-pick. With stocks moving in unison, better to just trade indices and index Exchange-Traded Funds (and, of course, their options).

good food and good beer (although I also enjoy fast food and cheap beer)
sports (exercise is so good for my mood, but I can't stand "exercising" so I get most of my exercise on the rugby field or tennis court)
making others laugh (my one real goal in life)
and parentheses (could you guess?)
Croquet. Well, I am not THAT good, but I am better than most people I know.
Movies: Comedies are my jam, especially older ones. The Blues Brothers, The Jerk, The Great Race and any comedy starring Cary Grant are pretty awesome. Action movies and thrillers have their place too though.
Shows: Animated adult sitcoms are the best. Simpsons, South Park, Archer and a few other cartoons really crack me up. Live action scripted comedies such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, East Bound and Down, and It's Always Sunny are also pretty great. House and Kitchen Nightmares occasionally break the comedy monopoly.
Music: Lots of stuff. Tops players in my iTunes are OK Go, Weezer, Paul Simon and Belle & Sebastian.
Food: Yes please.

San Francisco's Best Dive Bars: Drinking and Diving in the City by the Bay
1 Recommendation
glamazon5's recommendation
I love dive bars. The are fun and unpretentious (any type of club with "Ultra" in the name makes me cringe). Give me a good jukebox with some loud rock and roll and a place where I can get a bottle of Newcastle. If I can see some live bands there, even better. I've been to at least 5 or 6 of the places recommended in this book and was never disappointed. They all accurately live up to their description. They did a really overall good job with the recommendations. I really like Lucky 13! Even for those of you who live here, this is good if you want to venture into a neighborhood other than the ones you usually go out in. Also, I can't remember if it is listed in the book or not, but if you want a great dive bar with live music, check out my favorite, Thee Parkside.

British Actor Bob Hoskins Dies at 71
British actor Bob Hoskins, best known for his roles in 1988's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and 1991's "Hook," has passed away.
Hoskins was also nominated for an Oscar in 1986 for his role in "Mona Lisa," winning a Golden Globe and BAFTA.
If you were a child of the 80's or 90's, you'd recognize him as Detective Eddie Valiant (who hated cartoons, if you remember!) in "Roger Rabbit," and Captain Hook's lovable pirate sidekick Smee in "Hook."

There are three different groups of instruments to choose from if you are a keyboard player:
1) Electronic Keyboard
2) Digital Piano
3) Acoustic Piano
Electronic Keyboards
If you are considering a portable electronic keyboard, Yamaha and Casio make a wide variety of models that would work well for the beginning student. Most keyboards are built with both tone banks and rhythm banks. The tone banks reproduce a wide variety of instrumental sounds while the rhythm banks keep your kids rockin' out for hours. Only two features, however, are of any importance when you are shopping for a keyboard on which to study music. The first, and most important feature, is that the electronic keyboard has full size keys. The second, though less important feature, is that is able to accept a foot pedal. While it is not necessary that the keyboard come with a pedal, it is preferable to have one when your child is ready for it. A keyboard stand and bench also should be purchased in order to place you child in the correct playing position.
Digital Pianos
If your budget is a little bigger, you can consider a digital piano with weighted keys. Weighted keys will more closely simulate the action of an acoustic piano, providing the opportunity for a more expressive musical performance. While some inexpensive keyboards are designed with touch-sensitive functions, they do not allow young musicians to play expressively and, as a result, keeping the musician from experiencing the rich variation that makes music so interesting to listen to and play. Finding a keyboard with a built-in metronome would be a wonderful though not necessary option.
Acoustic Pianos
If your budget allows for the purchase of an acoustic piano, a spinet or upright piano would be an ideal choice. If you are also looking for a nice piece of furniture, a baby grand or grand piano would make a wonderful addition to your home while providing a richer overall sound as a result of the extended string length. Pianos built in the USA are generally of high-quality design and construction and are more expensive than imports. Recommended USA brands include Steinway and Baldwin. Asian pianos are highly regarded. The two most popular and recommended brands from Japan are Yamaha and Kawai. While German and Austrian made pianos, including Bosendorer and Perzina, are considered some of the world's finest, the Czech Republic, France, and the U.K. also produce a fine range of pianos.
If you are considering buying a used acoustic piano, remember that while a piano may look good on the outside, many problems may be lurking inside. The best choice you can make is to search only within your area and then contact the seller to set up a time to evaluate the piano with your piano teacher or local piano technician. There are many great used pianos out there, you just have to sift through the weeds to find the flowers.

Good Light Lunch
This dish made a good light lunch. I did not want anything heavy and it met the requirement. Good flavor.
Better then mine
I've had a recipe, sort of, that I have used for years. I found this one and decided to try something new. I was kind of surprised how much I liked it. I'm pretty sure I'll be using it from now on.
I made this for dinner tonight, but I made some substitutions and omitted some ingredients. Everyone liked it. Instead of the mushroom soup, I used 2 cans of cream of shrimp soup. I thought the shrimp and tuna flavors would go nicely together, and I'm not a fan of mushrooms. I used 2 cans of 1% milk instead of evaporated milk to cut calories. I omitted the veggies and potato chips. I used a 2 1/2 inch block of cheese, first cutting it into slices and then cubing it. I also used 3 cans of tuna and then crushed a few crackers for the top. I was looking for a recipe without using a white sauce for the base. I will definitely make this again, maybe without the topping.
Real Comfort Food
Really good recipe, although I added a hand full of frozen peas along with the other vegetables. Freezes really well for a smaller family.
Creamy Tuna Casserole
I read all the available reviews before I made out my grocery list. I added mushrooms, cheese, the golden mushroom soup along with cream of mushroom and the rest of the recipe. Thanks for the suggestions! I doubled the ingredients to freeze some and give some away. We enjoyed everything about this recipe and it was so easy to make. There are only two of us to feed so this went a long way! Hubby asked to take in his lunch tomorrow too.

Since a couple days the Apple's new mobile operating system iOS 7 is available – and the iPhone 4 is the oldest generation of iPhones still supported for the new iOS. I do have an iPhone 4 and decided to take the chance to update from iOS 6 to iOS 7. Here is a brief summary of my experience during the last few days with iOS 7 on an iPhone 4.
Battery life
Surprisingly I feel that the battery life increased since the update on iOS 7 compared to the previous iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. But specifically I think this relates mainly to the stand-by mode. F.eg. I kept my iPhone on during a whole night without charging – and lost only a few percentage, 3 – 4 %, until the next morning.
When in active use (phone, messaging, mailing, web-browsing, Twitter, etc.) I feel the battery drops about the same amount as it used to before on iOS 6. But the standy-by improvements make my iPhone 4 running much longer as it used to, what I am personally quite happy about.
Overall there are of course some performance issues when using iOS 7 on an iPhone 4, I did expect that. But sometimes it takes so long to load something, that I start thinking about moving back to iOS 6. 😉 The performance is OK for the Mail.app and Contacts as example, but too slow in the Phone app, Foursquare app and when switching between applications (at least until the task manager is loaded). Whereas there are some app-specific performance issues that I already had with iOS 6, especially the Facebook app is still too slow in my point of view.
Apple also took care of disabling some fancy new features when iOS 7 runs on an iPhone 4, in order to not slow down the phone unnecessarily. This is f.eg. the animated backgrounds or motion sensitive wallpapers. And it's still not possible to take panorama pictures with an iPhone 4 – but I wouldn't have expected that anyway.
I am not sure if the bugs I experienced are due to the iPhone 4 or iOS 7 in general. There are not many bugs of course, but I had some major issues that required me to restart the phone. F.eg. regularly the notification center dropdown is oriented the "wrong way" – like it got stuck in portrait mode, while the phone actually is back in horizontal position (so I have to slide the notification center in from right to left?). There was one bug I experienced only once so far: the whole information on the lock screen was shifted about 3 cm to the top right – lapping "over" the phone's screen. So it wasn't possible anymore to enter the pin-code, as the first and last row of numbers wasn't visible anymore. A restart fixed this.
Personal summary
I do not really regret updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7, as I enjoy the new design and the additional features brought to the iPhone with the update. The improved battery life is a great plus for me, whereas some performance issues (and some bugs 🙁 ) make me think about switching back to iOS 6. I think I wouldn't update an iPhone 4 again to iOS 7 – but if you know what to expect and what you will get, you can do it without major regrets.
And I am definitely getting the new iPhone 5S, as soon as it's available here in Switzerland. It's now 3 years since I bought my iPhone 4, so I am fine with switching to a new generation of iPhones anyway.

Orem police and rangers in Zion National Park are looking for a 31-year-old woman missing for more than a week.
Family of Sarah Jensen say she left Orem in her vehicle on May 25 to go camping in southern Utah. She hasn't been heard from since, said Orem police Sgt. Craig Gaines.
"Right now there's no reason to believe there is anything suspicious about her disappearance. But it is odd for her to not have contacted anybody," Gaines said.
Jensen's mother was able to access her bank records and discovered Jensen used her credit card in Beaver and stayed a night at the Best Western Zion Park Inn in Springville on May 25, Gaines said.
Jensen bought a pass for Zion National Park, purchased camping gear and withdrew cash on May 26, he said. Gaines said Jensen's family reported it is not out of her character to disappear for a day or two, but it its unusual for her to take off for a week and not call someone, he said.
Jensen told her boyfriend on May 25 that she planned to go camping, but didn't specify how long she planned to be gone, Gaines said. He said Jensen has no history of mental illness, depression or other heath problems that would put her at risk on a trip alone.
Authorities are asking the public to report any sign of Jensen. She is described as 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 115 pounds with blue eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt, Gaines said.
She often wears a necklace with in the shape of a letter "S." She has three tattoos including a sun on the middle of her upper back, a "character" near her belly button and Japanese writing on her lower back, Gaines said.
Jensen's vehicle is a silver 2002 Toyota Corolla with Utah license plates "Z725DE". The car has two bumper stickers which read "DeVotchKa" and "Abide" -- references to a band and the movie "Big Lebowski."
Anyone with information on Jensen is asked to contact the Orem Police Department at 801-229-7070.

Scan 3XS Carbon SLI – overview
Ever stopped to wonder what the best part of £4000 will buy you in PC terms? Well now you've got your answer: Scan's latest boutique build is a majestic giant of a computer that's tricked out with the latest and greatest components on offer. But as even budget machines are competent gamers these days, is there any point to these excruciatingly expensive PCs any more?
Scan 3XS Carbon SLI – processor and motherboard
The six-core processor at the heart of the 3XS Carbon SLI is mighty indeed. It's been overclocked by Scan technicians to a massive 4.5GHz and is fed by 16GB of quad-channel RAM; left to its own devices it could probably work out a cure for cancer. The problem is that that sort of number crunching needs a lot of cooling, and even when idle the 3XS is quite an audible machine.
Scan 3XS Carbon SLI – graphics hardware
The 3D rendering is carried out by four of NVIDIA's awesome GK104 chips, arranged in an esoteric set-up known as 'quad SLI'. That gives it more than 11 teraflops of computing power through the graphics cards alone, which can be applied to video editing, photo manipulation or making the internet currency Bitcoins, if you so wish. Make no mistake, though, it's games that this machine was designed for – and it's around three times faster than the 'average' PC. That makes it perfect for playing on three large screens wrapped around your desk for truly immersive worlds.
Scan 3XS Carbon SLI – gaming performance
The 3XS Carbon SLI will run Battlefield 3 on a 30in screen at 2560x1600 with every setting maxed out and still beat 100 frames per second. To put that in perspective, a more affordable machine like the Wired2Fire Hellspawn Ultima we reviewed recently will net you just 50fps on a display with half as many pixels (1920x1080). The snag is, of course, that there's not a lot perceivable difference between a steady 50fps and 100fps to the human eye.
Scan 3XS Carbon SLI – design and case
The Silverstone Fortress case that houses the 3XS Carbon SLI is a tried and tested favourite. At half a metre high and even more in length, it dwarfs most other PCs when stood beside them, but its near featureless chassis gives it a dignified rather than overbearing presence.
Size isn't why we love it, though: the motherboard is rotated 90 degrees to the usual layout, so all of the 'rear' ports point upwards for easy access, which is a stroke of genius. There's a removable mesh lid to stop snaking cables from interrupting its looks.
Scan 3XS Carbon SLI – audio
Special mention should be made of the audio abilities of the 3XS Carbon SLI, which are provided by a high-end Xonar Essence STX sound card. Designed for hi-fi enthusiasts, it's kitted out with removable op-amps, Burr-Brown DACs and a separate headphone amp for driving high impedance cans. In other words, it doesn't just look good, it sounds it too. Shame the case fans are so noisy, then.
Scan 3XS Carbon SLI – verdict
If you're after a PC that both looks and performs like the fastest computer in the world, then this is it. You can't physically buy better. The problem is that if you're only gaming on one 1920x1080 screen there's little practical benefit to the 3XS Carbon SLI over something more sensible that's a quarter of the price. To make the most of this, you'll need three screens for surround gaming and a state-of-the-art sound system – but if you can afford the Carbon SLI, you've probably already got that, haven't you?

"Hey, Sniper...?" Scout said softly, leaning against a tree trunk in a large green pasture. Sniper, Who he had been addressing, pressed his back against the opposite side, his hat tipped down to shade his eyes from the bits of sunlight filtering through the leaves. These moments of peace in nature had become routine for them.
A few months ago, in the dead cold of winter, BLU had decided that it was time for their agents to move to a new base of operation. It was a mass of shouts, loud noises, and rushed packing. Well, most of those were from the soldier, but it was stressful all the same. Scout's things fit into a single suitcase, but he smiled as he realized that it felt a little heavier than when he had first stepped off the train at Well. The trip was drudging, but made a tiny bit more comfortable by the pair of warm mittens the Pyro had found time to make him. He was still wearing his brother's ruddy hand me down coat, but the soft warmth on his hands made him forget the slight chills that ran up the rest of his body.
The base they had moved too looked almost exactly the same, though it was a little more accommodating. The mess hall was much bigger and everyone got their own personal rooms. Scout chuckled to himself. It was the first time he had ever had a room to himself. Looking out the window of his new abode, his hot breath fogging up the chilly glass, he was charmed by the wide expanse of white that unfolded beyond the base. There were no buildings or signs of civilization. Only a single tall tree off in the distance. And as soon as the frost lifted from the ground, Scout claimed the place as his own. He was scaling the branches of "his" tree when a voice laced with a thick australian accent called out to him.
"Careful, kid. Ya look a bit unsteady." Sniper said in a chastising manner. Scout looked down at him and scowled, as he placed a foot on a higher branch and hoisted himself up with his arms.
"Don' worry about it." he replied. Though he tried to sound neutral Sniper could hear the hint of frustration in his voice. "I'm not big and fat like you guys, so I don't need to worry about breakin' through whatever I'm walkin' on."
To Scout's disappointment, Sniper didn't rise to the bait of the tactless insult. He simply continued to look up at scout, his head tilting to the side slightly. "Alroight. My mistake."
Content with him shutting up, Scout lifted himself again to a higher branch. He wobbled for a second, but caught himself by clutching a stray branch.
"See? I can handle myself." The young man said, laughing and taking his hands away from his crutch. "No hands- Wah!" The crunching sound of the branch and the sliding of his baseball cleats from underneath him caused him to fall backwards. Scout landed with a thud right into the Autralian's arms. He was indignant at being held like a princess, but for the moment too stunned to react, and only looked up at his savior in awe. The man was looking back down on him with a sly I-told-you-so smirk.
"We've nevah really talked before, 'ave we? I'm the Sniper."
That moment sparked a natural, easy friendship between them. In return for the few bruises Sniper had saved him, he allowed him to share the newfound space. He would usually just sit and read silently, sometimes humming softly to himself. Scout had never pegged him as a reader, so it spun many conversations for the two. Eventually Sniper wouldn't even bring a book anymore, and their afternoons would be filled with conversation, laughter, and sunlight. The peace it gave them was comforting.
The peace had continued to this summer afternoon, as Scout again called out the Sniper's name to stir him from his nap.
Finally, the man peeked out from beneath his hat. "Oy, wot is it?" He muttered, shifting to become more comfortable. Scout, happy to get his attention, turned his head to peek at his waking australian friend. His shades were falling down his face, revealing his steely gray eyes.
"Ya know, I was thinkin', once this is all over..." He began, twiddling his thumbs, "What will you do?"
The older man stared at him for a moment, pushing up on the bridge of his sunglasses to put them back in place. "When wots ovah, exactly?"
"The war, dumbass." He said, laughing. He took the opportunity to move a bit closer to the Australian, waiting for an answer.
His eyes moved to look contemplatively at the thick branches towering above them.
Scout, being the impatient boy he was, reached out to grip the man's shoulder. The sudden touch made the man at least 20 years his superior whirl around to face him. The Bostonian's youthful skin and blue eyes glittered in the diluted sunlight, while the shade casted pleasing shadows over his features. The sound of the wind and the subtle movements of the grass seemed to paint the background of a beautiful portrait for the boy. The pure image caused Sniper to pause again, dumbfounded by the strange feeling that overtook him. Noticing the man's sudden pause, a wide grin formed on his beautiful face.
"Whassa'matter?" he said, tugging on Sniper's cheek in a playful manner, "Cat got your tongue?"
It took him a moment to react, but eventually the man pushed Scout's hand away and grunted in digust. Humiliating him further, a burst of stifled giggles under wrapped hands followed.
Moments passed as Scout covered his face with his hands, overcome with laughter. When he finally removed his hands from his face, his smile faded. Sniper was looking somberly up again, ignoring Scout completely.
"D'you really think it'll evah end...?" He muttered darkly. When his question received no response, he continued. "Oive been stuck in this damn place for over ten years now, with no end in sight...Whetha we win or lose, nothin' changes..."
Scout hugged his knees and averted his eyes. He had signed on for a five year contract himself. He didn't reallt want to think about the possibility of being forced into another contract, which apparently happened to almost everyone who signed on to the war. He was happy holding on to the hope that soon the fighting would be over.
"But, bein' optimistic...What would ya do if it were over? Right now, let's say we're free to go wherever we please. What do ya do?"
A few moments passed, the only sounds being the whistling of the wind through the leaves. Finally, Sniper turned slightly to look at his younger counterpart and sighed softly. "Well...Oi guess I'd go back to my homeland. See my mum and dad...Maybe pick up my old job again."
Scout illicited no reaction to Sniper's answer. He simply blinked a few times and placed a finger to his lightly chapped lips. A smile formed on his lips again as he looked to the sky, relaxing his pose.
"I'll go with you."
The statement hung in the air, reverberated in his ears, swam in his head, and hit him like a train all at once.
"W-what?" He sputtered out.
The boy turned his head to look at the Australian, his face taking a more serious expression. "You heard me," he said, "I'm going with you."
It was still trickling into his consciousness.
"And don't try to get away from me, neither! I'm fast, so I'll catch up to you in no time..."
It took a moment for his words to trail off, as he noticed the Sniper looking wistfully at him. The older man coughed and fingered the brim of his hat.
"Can you...Sit closer to me, for just a moment?" He asked softly. The boy, confused but happy to be asked, nodded and scooted closer to the older man until their shoulders almost touched. He averted his eyes, but Sniper could see his cheeks flush involuntarily. This time it was Sniper's turn to smile. "You don't have'ta do that, you know."
"I-I want to!" Scout replied, almost shouting. "You're my best friend in the world! I'm not going to lose you because we come from different continents..." His voice died down to a whisper. "I don't want to be alone again."
The statement struck a chord with Sniper. Besides his parents, who hadn't been talking to him much anyways because they thought he was a "crazed gunman", he had never truly kept anyone close. But somehow the boy sitting beside him in that awkward manner had managed to slip past the arm's reach he held everyone at. And Sniper had hardly noticed. What would it be like to be alone again, he wondered. Did he even want to be?
The sound of the boy sniffling broke his train of thought. A stray tear hung in his eye, but he didn't appear to be on the verge of tears anymore than he was already. Sniper's rough hands removed the boy's cap to ruffle the soft, short hair underneath. Scout let out a short, awkward laugh to distract himself from his crying.
"Alroight, kiddo." He said in a parenting tone, "you can come with me. But I don't want to take you away from your family, y'know...Yer so young..."
The boy looked up at him in the sweetest way possible in response. His lip trembled, and cursing his vulnerability, he softly replied, "...Really?"
"Yeah. Really."
A sigh of relief escaped his lips as he laughed off the tension that hung in the air just a minute before.
"So we go together." Scout said simply.
"Are we...together?"
The question was answered by a firm but sweet kiss placed on his lips, and a calloused hand wrapping around his own.
"Yeah...we're together."
They stayed like that for hours, happy just to have each other.

3) CLE- Again a 3-4 and Shawne Merriman looks like a better pick here. Also franchise QB is needed desperately maybe more than anyone else in the draft because the roster is now filled with old vets.
Random observations:
Merriman would be a better pick, but even better would be Ronnie Brown, Antrel Rolle, Mike Williams, Braylon Edwards, or Cedric Benson.
There are no franchise QBs in this draft. This is the first year in a while that teams are looking to trade down more than up. Reason being, there are no "Franchise" QBs in this draft. Smith has the size, but not the arm or experience. Rodgers has the arm, but not the size or experience.
On the other hand Jason Campbell and Charlie Frye, both most likely available in round two, have the size, arm and experience to be OUR franchise QB. The offense we will run will not require a Peyton Manning type of passer. We just need a smart, strong-armed QB to groom under Dilfer for a couple of years.
Speaking of, who are all these geezers we have as QBs on our roster? I know Dilfer is long in the tooth, but who are all the other "old vets filling the roster"? Luke McCown and Josh Harris were both rookies last year. If there is anyone else, it's news to me.
To stick to the thread, Derrick Johnson won't fall farther than 10.

I can definately see the Bears taking him at #4 and if not then I see a trade up to get him because he is considered to be the best defensive player in the draft.

It seems that every person on here is giving reasons of why and why not a team will draft DJ. i see DJ falling to the Lions at #10 and i agree that they will move Lehman to MLB and have a good young core of players at LB.
i see the Bears and Bucs both having Mike Williams at the top of their boards and the only other way i see chicago going is to draft Benson (seems like a bears type of runner IMO) and if Mike is off the board by Tampa's pick they will take their no.2 target in Caddillac Williams.

this thread is good reason for these boards to be sponsored by the comedy channel . . . just as an example, and not meant to pick on anyone . . .
Bears have so many LBs already and dont need any more . . . but are about to sign Anthony Simmons. LOL if they have so many, and dont need DJ, why are they after Simmons?
Bears cant afford DJ. But as a draft pick his salary will be slotted so he will make same basic range as any other player picked here, except maybe a QB.
As to responding to the title of the thread . . . DJ will fall all the way to my Colts, because he is a perfect LB for their system. Hey, I dont have to make any more sense than the rest of you do I?

I personally think Romeo Crennel will have a hard time passing on him. The guy is a Defensive coordinator at heart, and DJ is the type that can be a cornerstone of a great defense. Really, I don't think there is a team in the top 10 that he would not be an upgrade for, so it just depends on who decides they want him more than anyone else.

However I think he'll either go to MIA, CHI, or someone else in a trade up. Why? Miami won't run the 3-4 with Taylor there, and there other LB's are old (Thomas and Grandpa Seau). So they could use a good one with youth back there. Chicago has no OLB's that are noteworthy, and Urlacher has trouble staying healthy it seems. Lovie is a defensive coach anyway, and it's been said they are looking to trade for a veteran back, which would then allow them to go in a different direction. Plus that means when Urlacher is healthy, they have him and DJ at the LB positions.
Im pretty sure your whole post right here is about how the bears should take DJ.

romeo wont take dj simply cause hes not a 3-4 olb. he cant shed blockers which is essential to being a 3-4 olb. if he is going LB at 3, it will be merriman

In answer to the original post question....I don't think he'll fall that far. Tampa is the odds on I would think. They've won before with marginal offense.

If you're using Firefox, you might have recently stumbled upon a strange problem where you can't log into Facebook. Instead of being able to login, you end up with some strange error messages:
This happens when you try to login to your Facebook account and it instead redirects to some odd page. I ran into this issue on my test Firefox install on a virtual machine, but quickly realized a lot of people have had this error.
In this article, I'll mention a couple of ways I tried to fix the problem and hopefully it'll work for you and allow you to properly log into Facebook. Note that this is not a virus or malware issue as far as I can tell, so you don't have to worry about scanning your system for viruses, etc.
Method 1 – Restart Firefox (no-addons)
The first thing I tried and which worked in my case was restarting Firefox without any add-ons. You can do this by clicking on Firefox, then Help and then Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If this works for you and you are able to log into Facebook, then you will have to re-enable each add-on individually to see which one is causing the issue. Some people have reported that there is an extension called Babylon causing the issue with Facebook. If you have that installed, go ahead and disable it and see if that helps.
Method 2 – Reset Firefox
The second thing you can try is to reset Firefox. Resetting Firefox will save your bookmarks, browsing history, passwords, cookies, and auto-fill information, but nuke everything else. The old profile will be put on your desktop and called Old Firefox Data. You can reset Firefox by clicking on the Firefox button, then Help and then Troubleshooting Information.
A new tab will appear and here you can click on the Reset Firefox button.
Once Firefox starts back up, go ahead and try to log into Facebook and see if you get the error message anymore. Hopefully not! There are a couple of other solutions I read about, but these two seem to be the easiest and best fixes.
If you're still getting the error after trying the two methods above, post a comment here and I'll try to help. If you have found another possible solution, let us know in the comments. Enjoy!

I'll start this post by getting straight to the point and answering the question posed by the title. Ideally, a college student should start networking from DAY 1 of his/her freshman year, regardless of whether or not a major has been chosen. Practically speaking, every student should start NOW.
It is believed that roughly 20% of jobs available are ever advertised. This means that a whopping 80% of jobs are filled before the company decides to pay for a job ad. These positions are often filled by internal referrals. In other words, people who know individuals in a company get the opportunity to interview there long before a normal job hunter will even get to be aware of the position. And you better believe that the best jobs in the market are filled in this fashion.
So networking is important. But how do I do it right?
The key to networking is the same as creating and maintaining any friendship… Continue Reading…

Elizabeth Holtzman is co-chair of Herrick's Government Relations Group, where she focuses on government relations at the federal, state and local levels, and in litigation.
Liz joined Herrick after 22 years in government, including 20 as an elected official. During her four terms as a U.S. Congresswoman, she captured national attention for her role on the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate scandal; chaired the Immigration and Refugees Subcommittee (dealing directly with foreign governments); co-founded the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues (successfully legislating numerous women's rights laws); and authored many laws, including those dealing with Nazi war crimes.
Liz subsequently became the first woman elected District Attorney in New York City, serving eight years as DA of Kings County (Brooklyn), where she argued successfully before the U.S. Supreme Court, and pioneered new strategies for the prosecution of rape and environmental crimes. She also led the effort to end the practice that allowed African-Americans to be removed from juries.
Liz was also the first and only woman to be elected Comptroller of New York City. In that position she managed $50 billion in the city's five pension funds and issued more than $20 billion in city bonds. Former Mayor Bloomberg also signed into law a bill that Liz authored as Comptroller, which holds gun manufacturers liable for injuries caused by illegal guns.
In 2013, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel appointed Liz to the Response Systems to Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel, which reviewed and assessed the handling of sexual assaults in the military, and developed recommendations for reforms. In 2014, she was appointed chair of the successor Judicial Proceedings Panel. In 2014, Liz was also appointed by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to its Advisory Committee.
Previously, Liz was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the Nazi and Japanese Imperial War Criminal Records Interagency Working Group, which oversaw the declassification of more than eight million pages of secret Nazi war crimes files held by the U.S. government.
Liz has written many op-ed articles, and has appeared on television and in movies, including the 2013 Robert Redford documentary All the President's Men Revisited, and the Academy Award-winning documentaries, Hôtel Terminus, about Gestapo Chief Klaus Barbie and Women - for America, for the World, about nuclear disarmament. She has also authored two books and won many honors and honorary degrees for her activism and significant contributions to American politics.

Host Kaduna Polytechnic (KadPoly) led institutional representation with 28 (29% of) delegates. It was followed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) with 7, and Yaba College of Technology, Lagos with 5 delegates. The 3rd position was a tie between the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, the National Assembly and the University of Ibadan, each with 4 delegates. In terms of utilization of hosting benefits, while the University of Jos retains its long-standing record (50% of all delegates at the 1st edition), KadPoly is almost at par with the University of Ilorin for a healthy third position in the history of the event.
Participation rate for women at ngNOG Kaduna was 14%. This is a little higher than the previous year, but is still low. It was 26% in 2006; 13% in 2007; 14% in 2008; 19% in 2009; 33% in 2010; and 12% at ngNOG Ife in 2011.
Meetings and Tuturials
- Cloud Computing issues of data security, confidentiality, and cloud ownership) were discussed and moderated by Kanmi Adewara of OAU Ife;
- e-learning (and issues of technology platforms, management and roles of teachers and students, and experiences of the various institutions), was moderated by Benjamin Ben of UniJos;
- Data Security issues (including unauthorized access, disaster recovery, integrity, and physical security) were discussed and moderated by Geraldine Daloeng of UniJos. Interest in this topic was such that the discussions spilled over to a second evening; and
- Internet Governance, Net neutrality, and Cyber Security issue-discussions were moderated by Dele Amire of Network Infrastructure & Services Technologies Ltd.
Inadequate preparedness of students for eLearning was a common problem. In order to accelerate and improve impactful participation of students in eLearning projects, the ngNOG 2012 Assembly recommended that the Forum and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) should do what they can towards upgrading ICT awareness, knowledge and skills of secondary school students and teachers. Most HEIs have faculties and/or institutes of education, as well as primary and secondary schools for their staffs' (and neighborhood) children. Many HEIs also admit significant proportions of their freshmen and women from their own schools of basic and remedial studies. These are logical places for HEIs to start making appropriate interventions towards enabling participation of new entrants in eLearning activities. This is especially important because (among other things) the largest classes on all campuses- where eLearning would have immediate impact and simplify life- are the general studies programs, and these are populated by new entrants.
On Friday 30th November, an enthralling tutorial was delivered by Ahmed Atere of Meed Technologies Ltd, on planning, designing, equipment standards, building and maintenance of Campus Networks.
The 2012 ngNOG Meeting took place on Saturday, December 1st, at Hotel 17 in Kaduna (where most delegates and instructors were accommodated; SPM track delegates were accommodated at the nearby Asaa Pyramid Hotel, on the same street). An overview of ngNOG this far was presented and discussed. Workshop track reports and suggestions for improvements were presented and discussed. Panel discussions were held on formation of proper REN clusters, sustenance and maintenance of the high standards and integrity of ngNOG and the Forum, and plans for specialized workshops (esp. on network monitoring) and collaboration project activities.
Delegates requested that a special account be opened by the Forum, for alumni and other individuals to make free financial contributions towards sustaining ngNOG and the Forum. The ngNOG Assembly also urged that Institutions should be enlightened to accelerate impact and rate of capacity building, by each sending a full compliment of delegates to ngNOG (that is, at least one delegate to each of the six tracks).
Tours and Social Networking ActivitiesMurtala Square in the heart of Kaduna, in the morning of Friday November 30, with ngNOG delegates scoring 2 goals and allegedly allowing instructors to score as many as 5 goals
After the match, delegates were treated to a tour of the Centre for Historical Documentation and Research (Arewa House). The day closed with a grand dinner and cultural dances organized by our host at the Kaduna Polytechnic. "We are the practical, doing sector of higher education, as you shall see very shortly", remarked the Rector, on behalf of the NBTE Executive Secretary.
Based on their report, SPM Track instructors and delegates (including the Rector of KadPoly and the Director of the Centre of Excellence for Technical and Vocational Education and Training) made the same trip (on Wednesday, November 28th) to ABU Zaria, to have a look and pay homage at the "Holy of Holies" of Campus Network and Data Centre Infrastructure in Nigeria.
Travelling from Kaduna to Zaria requires driving through Jaji, where a bombing incident had taken place on Sunday, November 25- the arrival date of delegates to ngNOG VII.
As we had occasion to remark at the conclusion of the ngNOG editions at Jos in 2006 and in the Niger Delta in 2010, we had a marvelous time and not a single untoward event happened to any of us.
We are grateful to the various Institutions and Firms, who contributed instructors and presenters. They include: Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (OAU); Yaba College of Technology, Lagos; University of Jos; Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; University of Benin; Bayero University Kano; Federal University, Lafia (FULAFIA); University of Port Harcourt (UniPort); the Bandwidth Consortium; NISTech Ltd; Datasphir Ltd; Skolak Resources Ltd.; and Meed Networks.
With very great appreciation to the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the MacArthur Foundation, and to Google Inc. for supporting this event and the achievement of our mission. We continue to thank our international friends at the Network Start up Resource Centre and the Mortenson Center who are never far away from us, as well as our membership and friends at home.
Google Global Services Nigeria Limited was a distinguished Corporate Sponsor of ngNOG 2012. Blue was the color of ngNOG 2012, and the T-Shirts were donated by Meed Networks this year as well.
This event built-upon foundations laid at the preparatory-ngNOG Workshop that held at the University of Ibadan in July 2006, and the six full editions that were hosted at UniJos, BUK, Unilag, Unilorin, Uniport, and OAU Ife.
ngNOG Kaduna is a profound statement in so very many ways. It is proudly dedicated to the amazing courage, commitment and support of the delegates, instructors and organizers, hosts, the LOC and interns, the host community and our supporters.

Grenada's parliament has enacted a law that press freedom bodies believe will have a chilling effect on free speech.
People who send emails and tweets or make comments on social networking and media websites that are deemed to be "offensive" face a potential punishment of a year in jail.
The electronic crimes act also outlaws the posting of information that is known to be false but is reproduced in order to cause "annoyance… insult… and ill will."
Wesley Gibbings, president of the association of media workers in nearby Trinidad, called the law "a travesty and in direct contravention of the principle and guarantee of free expression and press freedom."
And Alison Bethel McKenzie, director of the International Press Institute (IPI), said: "Laws criminalising insult are superfluous in any open society.
"Civil courts are perfectly equipped to handle the offences addressed by this act. But secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the citizens of any democracy have a fundamental right to debate — robustly, forcefully, even tastelessly — the public figures and policies that affect their lives."
She added: "We urge Grenadian and regional media to take a closer look at this law and the potential consequences it could have for freedom of speech and investigative journalism in the Caribbean."

Netherlands climate
The Netherlands has, unsurprisingly, a maritime climate. Winters are mild (temperatures in January and February are about 5 degrees) and summers are warm (temperatures hover between 20 and 25 degrees in July and August). Rain falls year round but spring (February, March and April) is the driest season.
When to fly to Netherlands
Peak Season:
The Northern Hemisphere summer is high season in the Netherlands when workers take time off and schools are on holidays. July and August are the busiest months. Watch out for April 30, Queen's Day, a huge celebration.
Off Season:
November, January and February are low-season months.
Shoulder Seasons:
April (depending on when Easter falls) and September (make sure you visit when schools are back in session) are shoulder-season months when rates are lower and flight prices more reasonable.
Getting around Netherlands
The Netherlands is a dream to get around. There's no need to rent a car or even take a taxi... The rail network is comprehensive and trains are fast and clean. Fast ferries and water taxis also link cities and towns around the country.
Perhaps the form of transport that's most synonymous with the Netherlands is the bicycle. There are more than 20,000 km of cycle paths and bikes can be rented cheaply from a myriad of places - train stations, hotels, hostels.
Netherlands insider information
- While bicycles might be one of the most popular forms of exercise, it's not the only one. Sailing and swimming and other water sports are popular on the country's coastline and on the lakes, rivers and canals.
- The Wadden Sea lies between Den Helder in the Netherlands and Esbjerg in Denmark. Declared a World Heritage Site in 2009, there are about 50 islands, the first five are the Dutch Wadden Islands. Full of birdlife and wildlife, empty beaches and sand dunes and views that go on for miles and miles, Wad hopping is a fantastic experience.
- Football is a religion in the Netherlands. Where to support "oranje"? Try Heinekenplein, a square located behind the Heineken Experience in "Pijp" district. There are more bars and restaurants per square metre here than anywhere else in the Netherlands. Should the national team get to a semifinal or final of a big tournament, then Museumplein (Museum Square) in Amsterdam will probably put up a big screen.
- In Scheveningen you must sample a raw herring with chopped onions! It's a Dutch delicacy. You could also try kroketten (a deep-fried version of breaded ragout) and poffertjes (tiny pancakes) eaten hot with powdered sugar and lots of butter.
- Queen's Day is on the last day of April. Holland goes orange and events and celebrations are held throughout the country.
- Perhaps you'll spy the royal family at one of these palaces. Drakensteyn Castle is Queen Beatrix's former residence; it's close to Soestdijk Palace. Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima live in Villa Eikenhorst, Wassenaar. Huis ten Bosch is Queen Beatrix's residence in The Hague; Noordeinde Palace is the monarch's "working" palace. The Royal Palace is in the centre of Amsterdam and Palace Het Loo is a sumptuous 300-year-old palace near Apeldoorn.

That Rogue Romeo
Frenchie Davis
by Michael Shinafelt
Frenchie Davis, the name brings many things to mind. After stealing the national spotlight on the first season of NBC's "The Voice" as a Top Four Finalist, as well as season two of "American Idol," her single "Love's Got a Hold On Me" is currently a Billboard Dance Hit Smash. She is currently working on her debut LP, "Just Frenchie," a collection of original material written specifically for her. Having conquered Broadway as a cast member of "Rent" and the Grammy-nominated revival of "Ain't Misbehavin," Ms. Davis has it going on.
Valarie Pettiford
by Michael Shinafelt
Valarie Pettiford is that rare breed, a triple threat. From the stages of Broadway to the sound stages of Hollywood, she has charmed audiences with her performances. A Fosse-trained dancer, Pettiford was Tony nominated for her work in the musical revue "Fosse," which paid homage to her mentor. As an actor, she is most recognized as Big Dee Dee Thorne on the hit sitcom, "Half and Half," and Aunt Geneva, whose rehearsal dinner musical number in "Jumping the Broom" pretty much stole the show from her co-stars.
Lindsey Stirling
by Michael Shinafelt
Violinist extraodinaire and YouTube sensation Lindsey Stirling has hit the road for the very first time to sold-out venues across the United States! She also has a few other firsts, too; her self-titled album hit number one the iTunes Electronic chart. Oh, and she dethroned the reigning Queen of YouTube, Her Royal Higness Taylor Swift, by passing 137 million views on her Lindsey Stomp channel.
Marie Parie
by Michael Shinafelt
Marie Parie is an "alien". The Parisian pop artist has called the United States home since 2005. Her background gives her music a unique take on American society. Dating bewilders her, futuristic music excites her and art is how she expresses it. To all of you strange creatures out there who don't know who Marie is, well, it's time to get to know her.
Chris Rene
by Michael Shinafelt
Four months after nailing his X Factor audition with a show-stopping performance of the self-penned "Young Homie," Chris Rene released his fiercely personal anthem as a single. Signed to Epic Records, the rapper/singer/songwriter/musician came in third place on "The X Factor" and enamored audiences with his talent and then-recent triumph in overcoming addiction.
That Rogue Romeo
by Michael Shinafelt
Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou "That Rogue Romeo"? Well, his name is Kevin Stea and he's right here and now. Kevin is quite ubiquitous and gets around. You may remember him from Madonna's "Blonde Ambition Tour," where he was not only a back-up dancer, but co-choreographer and dance captain for it as well. He also had a featured role as one of the dancers in the Las Vegas show "Goddess," featuring Cristal Connors, in the camp classic "Showgirls".
