Why BlackBerry Is Now Officially Dead
- BlackBerry has lost one of its largest and most loyal customers, the U.S. government.
- The company's loss of appeal and complete shift towards software may make the BB business model unsustainable.
- BlackBerry's all-in shift toward software may cripple the company's innovative culture, furthering BlackBerry's "death spiral".
The U.S. government has, for over a decade, relied on the security-first smartphone maker BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) as its sole source for smartphones. The company's most loyal, and certainly one of its largest clients has dropped BlackBerry in favor of Samsung and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This is a move which has been framed by Washington as a necessary one (see official press release), due to BlackBerry's 180 degree shift toward software, and away from new hardware (once its cash cow). Unfortunately for BlackBerry, this transition has been very public. Many companies lose their biggest client, but few have the news prominently displayed ad nauseum on every news network, radio channel, and newspaper.
No More Snob Value
What many analysts, myself included, believe to be the ultimate demise of BlackBerry (or any mass-market consumer product manufacturer) is that BlackBerry has simply lost its snob value. The BlackBerry vs iPhone discussion is one which is laughable today, although only a few years ago, it was a heated debate. Many in the industry point to a "tipping point" for mass-marketed consumer goods such as smartphones. BlackBerry was the first player to pass the "tipping point," estimated to be between 5 and 10% of the available market, but has seen its market share slip each year since 2008. BlackBerry's market share (OS) peaked at around 20% in 2008, and currently sits around 0.2%, according to market analysis by Gartner.
What's Next for BlackBerry?
Once the outright market leader in the smartphone space, BlackBerry has dwindled to a company representing a minute (and declining) fraction of the global smartphone market. The company's CEO John Chen has repeated the company's insistence on becoming a software provider, switching entirely away from smartphones. This is shown in the company's first quarter results which showed quarterly software sales outpaced hardware sales for the first time ($166M and $152M respectively). The question is: can the company count on its software revenues in the absence of hardware? It can be argued that the company's software platforms do not require proprietary BlackBerry hardware to operate, syncing well with outside hardware. This argument, in my opinion, misses the point.
The company's assertion that true synergy between software and hardware does not exist for BlackBerry is questionable. It is simply much easier for a corporate client who mandates BlackBerry in the workplace to switch to running BlackBerry software. Any time a company can sell something (i.e. a BlackBerry) and expect incremental recurring sales or revenues from that initial sale (i.e. software sales), the initial sale needs to be the focal point. The company states that it is not making money on hardware, but may not be looking far enough down the road to value its importance. A little bit of design innovation, marketing, and consumer excitement around a new BlackBerry may be a novel idea, but that is exactly how the company began and thrived. The death of the physical BlackBerry will almost certainly lead to the death of BlackBerry.

Twinlab ZMA Fuel
Twinlab ZMA Fuel combines Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6 to support natural hormone production. Testosterone levels begin to decline for men when they reach the age of 30. ZMA works in a synergistic fashion to increase size and strength, accelerate recovery, promote longer and deeper sleep, and increase sexual drive and performance. ZMA can be used as a natural alternative to steroids and pro-hormones. There are no side effects associated with this product.
Twinlab ZMA Fuel Benefits
• Increased Size and Strength
• Deeper Sleep
• Enhanced Sexual Performance
• Inexpensive
As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules daily for men or 2 capsules daily for women, preferably on an empty stomach, 30-60 minutes prior to bedtime. For best results, avoid taking with foods or supplements containing calcium. For best results, use as part of a low-fat diet and exercise program.
Another (mostly) worthless sup review by Michael on 7/18/2015
Having heard of ZMA's effects on testosterone levels and sleep quality I decided to try it. Go hard or go home, I bought enough to give it a good few months.
I found it worthless.
The problem with taking anecdotal reports from people who try these things is that if they only have it once, their results might be a fluke, and if they take it over a long period of time they may mistake the results of something else (eg. more focus on overall health). These anecdotal reports are unfortunately faulty tests.
Finding from my experience that it was worthless, I decided to do some research. ZMA does help to increase testosterone levels, but only in individuals who lack zinc and magnesium )the Z and the M of ZMA). Probably better to fix your diet than to run to the bottle.
I don't recommend this.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.

Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to reaffirm my support for sanctions to be placed upon Iran. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ali Khamenei are once again stressing the proliferation of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles within Iran's borders and we must take swift and strong actions against these measures.
Iran is not just a threat to the United States, but to all free countries around the globe. As a country that harbors terrorists, foreign leaders must stay vigilant and recognize Iran's practices as a national security concern.
Lastly, we must stand up against the human rights abuses the Iranian regime is supporting. Its citizens have continually been sheltered from outside information and ideas due to strict governmental control. We need to inform the regime that the Iranian citizens deserve the basic human rights as laid out by the United Nations. I am proud to support H.R. 1905 and I encourage the President to sign this into law promptly.

Forget the Oscars, The British Federation of Audio has handed out its own headline awards… for the best exhibitors at the recent Bristol Sound and Vision show.
The BFA panel apparently examined every room and booth at the show at least twice during the event (well, it passed the time) and took advice from various trade and press visitors – just in case the visit to a room had been during an "off moment". Ultimately, its three awards – Best Two Channel Demonstration, Best Multi-Channel Demonstration and Best Looking Exhibit " went to Neat Acoustics, KEF Audio and Focal, respectively.
Sayeth the BFA: "Other companies such as Naim Audio and NHT came very close but the judges concluded that Neat Acoustics, with its simple well displayed room, good choice of music – played at a sensible level – just edged ahead. Focal, with two styles of room; one themed on a Euro living room and the other on a British living room had improved on last year and was just ahead of Naim with its excellent "Chill out" room. Both Focal and Neat Acoustics were winners last year and were particularly pleased to receive recognition once again."
The Best Multi-Channel demonstration was apparently a close-run thing; KEF Audio eventually edged out Naim, to make that tearful acceptance speech.
Thank goodness Neat Acoustics kept its demos at a 'sensible level,' say we. The last thing anyone wants at a hi-fi show is for the exhibitors to lose restraint and crank up the volume!

The Torch-Born are the Pandoran Mockery of the Frankenstein Lineage of Prometheans.
The Torch-Born have an obsession with flame, and express this obsession in a variety of ways. The traps they set for Prometheans typically involve fire in a significant way.
The Torch-Born enjoy eating seared Promethean flesh - preferably attached to a living Promethean. They usually accomplish this by searing a Promethean's innards or limbs while the Created still lives.
Their fascination with fire is also their weakness; open flame entrances them, and often, the only way they snap out of it is when they try to touch the flame and get burned. Despite the Torch-Born's obsession, they are as vulnerable to fire as the other Mockeries.
Dormant Torch-Born resemble melted slag or charred debris left over from some massive fire somewhere. They usually chose a form that is a appropriate for the area they are in, such as a burned-out tree in a forest setting, or part of a burned building in an urban one.
Their Bestowment is Crucible of Flesh.

New Delhi: The government may sell 10% stake in Coal India this fiscal itself through a public offer, which could fetch around Rs 22,000 crore to the exchequer.
The Department of Disinvestment (DoD) is in the process of appointing merchant bankers for managing the sale.
According to a source, the department may go for the divestment in the current fiscal provided valuations improve.
"There is enough appetite for another tranche of CIL stake sale. The government will wait for valuations to improve," the source said, adding that merchant bankers are showing a lot of interest and the disinvestment department is confident of pushing ahead despite a strike threat by unions.
The government holds 78.65% in Coal India.
At the current market price, sale of 63.16 crore shares, or 10% stake, would bring in Rs 22,112 crore.
The government will appoint up to five merchant bankers to manage the sale, and the last date for applications is September 2.
Coal India was listed on November 4, 2010, and its market value today stands at Rs 2,20,535 crore.
The stock closed at Rs 350.05 on BSE, down 1.92%.
The government had last sold 10% in the blue-chip on January 31, 2015 and garnered Rs 22,557 crore.
The disinvestment department is readying PSUs for stake sale and seeking Cabinet approval for the same. Already, It has Cabinet nod for about two dozen PSUs and is waiting for right market conditions to proceed.
So far this fiscal, the government has sold stakes in two PSUs — REC and PFC — and netted over Rs 3,000 crore.
The government, which has set a disinvestment target of Rs 69,500 crore this fiscal, is slated to offload 5% in the Dredging Corporation of India on Friday.

Selling price is the price that a company charges for its product from a buyer. After the price is paid, ownership of good is transferred from the seller to the buyer.
There are many factors which decide the selling price of a product:
• Highest price that buyer is willing to pay
• Lowest price that seller is willing to accept
• Price that competition will allow
Some companies form a cartel by colluding with other suppliers in order to control the selling price. This action is against the law and punishable crime.
For example: Selling price of wafer chocolate is Rs 10. A buyer is not willing to pay more than this and seller will not accept any price less than Rs 10. Also other competitive wafer chocolates are also sold at the same price like Perk, Munch, etc.

Wildcats Take Part in ITA Ohio Valley Regional Tournament
Oct. 21, 2009
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky women's tennis team will be competing in the Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Women's Ohio Valley Championships which begins Thurs., Oct. 22 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The four-day tournament will be hosted by the Western Tennis and Fitness Club in Western Hills. The singles finalists and doubles champion from this event will earn spots in the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, which run from Nov. 5-8, hosted by Yale University in New Haven, Conn.
Thursday's rounds of competition will consist of two qualifying singles rounds and two main draw doubles rounds. Junior Megan Broderick and sophomore Caroline Lilley pair up as the No. 2 seed in doubles. They earned a first round bye and will see action for the first time in the Round of 32 against Miami's Stephanie Danesis and Brittany Larson. Junior Lauren Meier and sophomore Minnette Pienaar make up the second UK tandem and are slated to play Cincinnati's own Caitlyn O'Gara and Ksenia Slyncko in the Round of 64. Should the Kentucky team of Meier/Pienaar advance, they would play the No. 6 seeded Jennifer Rabot and Michelle Sammons of Purdue. Doubles matches do not start until 2:00 p.m. ET.

Are Banks from Mars, Mobile Banking Technology Vendors from Venus?
In the US, banks and mobile technology vendors have a symbiotic relationship that should grow over time. As is the case in every relationship, there are areas of agreement and disagreement. Celent examines their respective views of the road ahead for mobile banking.
Although talked about for years, mobile banking has become a reality in 2010, to the point where it is viewed as the "fifth channel" of banking. By the end of this year, the majority of top 50 US banks with retail operations will offer some form of mobile banking, and there will be about 18 million mobile banking active users. Reaching large financial institution saturation, the banking and mobile vendor technology industries are rapidly approaching a point where competition will center around innovation. To gain a better understanding of these views, Celent interviewed 11 banks (all but one in the Top 50 category) and 10 mobile banking technology vendors in a new report, Are Banks From Mars, Mobile Banking Technology Vendors From Venus?
Banks and vendors have similar "big picture" views of how innovation will play out. They share a belief in the growth potential of mobile banking, including the acquisition of high-cost, offline customers. Both parties are nearly unanimous in their views that certain front end functionalities, such as real time alerts and P2P (person-to-person) payments will be important in the near future. There is also a strong consensus that mobile banking has to be a channel of its own, not an appendage of online banking, and greater integration with back end core banking systems is required. Most players in both industries are clearly hoping for mobile-related fee opportunities.
"Both parties feel that mobile channel monetization will eventually occur," says Red Gillen, Senior Analyst with Celent's Banking group and author of the report. "However, many of these hopes for monetization appear to be out of line with early adopter, in-market solutions, including free mobile P2P and RDC products."
There are also many areas where banks' and vendors' views understandably diverge. Banks tend to take a broader approach, having to worry about multiple channels, systems, and organizational units. On the other hand, vendors are mainly concerned with a narrower approach, because mobile technology is their niche field of expertise.
Expectations regarding some of the "next big thing" elements of mobile banking also differ. Banks are taking a very cautious approach to mobile-based marketing, whereas vendors see unrivaled potential for the mobile marketing channel. Near field communication (NFC) payments and downloadable apps represent other front end functionalities where the two industries do not always see eye to eye.

Okay no, not for my photography business. I'm included in the photo that will go out with a press release about the Burke & Herbert calendar I told you about. Pretty sure I shouldn't be stealing the photo and posting it here, but you can see it and a couple of others from the quick shoot here. Less than a week later, and as I sit here typing this, I am wearing the same exact outfit. In the photo, I'm the third person from the left.
It's true, I was trying to look hip for the photo. I tried on a couple things but in the end, grabbed the clothes that make me feel like me. The skirt I'm wearing used to have black in it. Yeah, not so much anymore. Do I look hip?
Also, check my ridiculous transition glasses. As soon as I get my lazy butt to the Costco for an eye exam, I will have a new prescription and order some more damn glasses online – two pairs – sunglasses and regular glasses! These transitions drive me nuts by never being real sunglasses and never being regular glasses. They're this horrible constant cloudy shade of brown.
And because this is a photo blog, here are some more photos of the sky and all the awesome things it does, all the time, because it's cool like that.

Love WImbledon? Then you'll love these dating ideas...
Queue for day tickets
If you decided you wanted to buy a ticket online to see a match (without booking months in advance) you'd have no chance, but Wimbledon has a little quirk in that it releases spare tickets every day. The only thing is that you have to queue up for a chance to get them and, with Wimbledon being as popular as it is, that's a pretty long queue; people tend to camp out overnight. Now, a very long queue may not initially strike you as a thrilling date, but actually a very good time can be had. You get plenty of opportunity to chat, there's the buzz of the crowd around you, you can take some fold up chairs and have a picnic and a bottle of fizz and then, hopefully, you can watch an exciting game of world class tennis. Good times.
Watch from Henman Hill
If queuing isn't your bag, and you don't mind missing out on the live action, then take your date for a picnic on Henman Hill (or Murray Mound as it's now, slightly disturbingly, known), a lovely grassy knoll just north of Centre Court with a great, big screen showing the current match. You get all the atmosphere, plus the genuine sound of the pit pat of the balls and gasps of the crowds from the court, and all for free. Take a blanket, a picnic and a bottle of fizz for a truly classy date.
Play a game of tennis
If you're an active type, all this sitting around queuing and watching might not do it for you. We suggest getting out there and actually playing a game of tennis with your date. It might be a little bit left field for a first date, as all that activity is basically going to mean you end up a red-faced, sweating monster in joggers rather than a beautiful, well-dressed model/angel, but, actually, if they've seen you at your worst and they still like you, then you're probably on to a winner. And it doesn't really matter if you can't play as this means you won't take it seriously and you'll have a good laugh.
Find a big screen
Many cities now show Wimbledon on a giant communal screen, which is not much more effort than watching at home and allows you to catch some rays and enjoy the buzz of the crowd whilst you do so. A quick whizz around the internet will show you where to go and then all you have to do is turn up with the strawberries and cream.

As you may know, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Sept. 9 will hear Verizon's case challenging the FCC's net neutrality mandates. CEI's Wayne Crews has been tearing that apart in a series of blog posts, "Before Net Neutrality Eats the World," criticizing the alleged justifications for net neutrality (like "market failure") and suggesting alternative plans (such as "agency neutrality").
Before Net Neutrality Eats the World
by Wayne Crews
On September 9, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will hear oral arguments in Verizon's challenge of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) December 2010 Order on "Preserving the Free and Open Internet." (That day, you'll be able to stream a TechFreedom/International Center for Law & Economics luncheon panel discussing the proceedings.)
The arguments mark the critical culmination of a longstanding effort by FCC to expand power over speech and infrastructure in America in violation not merely of the Constitution and the rule of law (as plaintiffs and allies certainly allege; my organization took part in an amici curiae brief), but of common sense, economic efficiency, and consumer welfare.
The Order, the prior 2009 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (see CEI filing to FCC) and the even earlier Notice of Inquiry on Broadband Industry Practices (see CEI filing) asserts national government authority over the Internet's future with respect to broadband access and pricing.
Unelected FCC commissioners contemplate this action without authority from Congress, and even with such authority, it should have and would have been challenged.
Net neutrality contends that the government should oversee the Internet rather than the private productive sector. It contends that Washington should decree that Internet service providers treat online traffic the same, in "non-discriminatory" fashion as to be decreed by regulators rather than defer to consumer demand, market and technological realities, and competitive pressures. Those competitive pressures already greatly militate against unreasonable blockage of traffic flow and easy access to content.
No credible case exists for universal neutrality rules in contrast to a potential rifle shot to deal with legacy (clearly diminishing) market power owing to past exclusive franchises and other legacy government-created monopoly power. And even here, unfavorable press generally does the trick. I don't think antitrust is the solution as some do, but the industry does not require sweeping regulation because somebody might misbehave.

Before Net Neutrality Eats the World (Part 2): An Alternative Case for Agency Neutrality
Instead of compulsory net neutrality, let's mandate agency neutrality. The FCC should turn a deaf ear to politically driven business and pressure-group demands for special treatment for any sector of the communications industry.
Before Net Neutrality Eats the World (Part 3): The FCC's Disdain for Markets
To the FCC, corporate giants are a problem. Ironically, consumer welfare would benefit from more corporate giants and a bit less of an agency leviathan more powerful than them all put together.
Before Net Neutrality Eats the World (Part 4): FCC Order Creates Political Vulnerability for All Market Participants
Neutrality holds that broadband service providers are not entitled to set the terms on their privately owned network property. For them, First Amendment and Fifth Amendment rights shall not apply. If that holds, major content firms increasingly will find they are not entitled to their business approaches either.
Before Net Neutrality Eats the World (Part 5): The Fallacies Motivating Net Neutrality
Since it is a consciously anti-competitive framework, net neutrality is "not neutrality." In that light we can see that Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) net neutrality campaign rests upon numerous misperceptions and outright untruths about competitive markets and capitalism.
Before Net Neutrality Eats the World (Part 6): Does "Market Failure" Demand Neutrality Regulation?
Market failure cannot be a problem in telecommunications and the Internet, since communications has been a comprehensively regulated industry almost since the outset. If anything, political Failure is the matter at hand.
Before Net Neutrality Eats the World (Part 7): Mandatory Dumb Pipes? But Why Sacrifice Genius?
Freezing today's Internet into a regulated public utility via net neutrality's FCC-serving price and entry regulation will slow investment and innovation — meaning fewer new companies, networking deals, products and technologies. Net neutrality turns the entire industry "dumb" — not just the pipes — ultimately hurting content companies too.

Christian Atsu scored his first goal for the former Premier League campaigner in a 0-1 victory over Rotherdam United in the English Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Newcastle took the lead four minutes before the break as Atsu cut inside from the right to unleash an unstoppable strike.
Dwight Gayle and Jonjo Shelvey had chances to make it 2-0 and Dominic Ball hit the woodwork for the hosts late on.
Gouffran was unlucky not to put the Magpies ahead when his volley was blocked on the line by the chest of Ball, and Taylor had a decent chance for the Millers when his shot clipped the crossbar.

Must Visit
Tulsi Mandir, popularly known as Vrinda Devi Temple, was built in the memory of Vrinda Devi – a consort of the demon king Jalandhara,There is a tank inside this temple that earlier served as the bathing place of the demon. Nearby this temple, there is a Gupha (cave) that has an idol of Goddess Annapurna.
She is considered to be the Goddess of Harvest and Food by Hindus. The temple of Sheetla Devi, located within the premises, is believed to be as old as the city of Jalandhar. There are many temples dedicated to Lord Shiva in and around this religious site, besides a Brahma Kund.

Pansy Watercolor Print - Rusty Red
A single pansy in warm reds with a hint of yellow. What a beauty. If you look up the meaning of pansies, they are often associated with loving thoughts.
This 5 x 5 inch botanical print is based on my original watercolor of a lovely light purple pansy from my garden. Painted in my signature detailed and delicate way.
'Rusty Red Pansy' - Unframed archival print
Paper: 5 x 5 inches (square)
Image: Approx. 2½ x 2½ inches
Materials: Epson Ultrachrome Inks on beautiful fine art paper
I work very hard to be sure that my prints are accurate representations of my original watercolor paintings. This print has retained the delicacy and detail of my original watercolour painting.
This print is perfect for a square frame intended for a 5 x 5 inch image (the Ikea Ribba frame, for example). If you would prefer it on 5 x 7 paper, just select that option at checkout.
This print is part of a collection that can be purchased at a special price here.
I will initial the print on the front. It will be packaged with love and care and sent to you in a rigid envelope.
All monitors are slightly different so the colors appearing on your screen may vary from those of the print. In general, the colors of my prints are more delicate than what you are probably seeing on your screen.

My first thought was that every lawyer was a robotic person who only would take a case if a lot of money is involved. David proved me entirely wrong, showing true kindness and compassion to me when my mom was in FDC and I was all by myself at the time. He was very kind to my mom during her trial. A true God-sent angel on Earth! Solved my mom's case with flying colors. Would definitely go back to him if I need help. Thanks So Much for your kindness David! :)

I contacted Mr. Edelstein to help me resolve criminal case I had pending against me from many years ago. I had moved from Miami approximately 15 years ago and had completely forgotten about it. Mr. Edelstein explained to me how he believed he could assist me and resolved the case in a relatively short period of time. I never even had to come to Florida. I would reccomend Mr. Edelstein without hestiation to anyone in need of a criminal attorney.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- There are more than 50,000 TSA screeners nationwide, and in the next few months, there will be about 75 fewer in Sarasota.
"It's called the Screening Partnership Program, it allows the airport to opt out of the TSA screening program," explained airport CEO Rick Piccolo.
By November, SRQ will be among the first twenty airports in the nation to opt out of federal worker.
"Hopefully it'll bring better customer service--they've been fine, but allowing for more flexibility in scheduling and make it easier to control," Piccolo said.
Piccolo says it has nothing to do with saving money--but rather a philosophy to not have federal agency overseeing and regulating itself.
"Most countries have security done by a private enterprise, managed by a government agency for oversight. I think there are only four countries in the world that have federal employees doing the screening," he said.
Passengers at SRQ were mixed on the plans to privatize the federal screeners.
"Anytime you have government oversight, they'll be problems. If a private company is allowed to do it, they'll probably get it done," said Doug Dee, a passenger waiting for his flight back to Atlanta.
But Martha Riles of Sarasota doesn't see a reason to change the status quo. "TSA is already here and keeping us safe and grounded, so why bring in another company?"
TSA will actually choose the private company, and as for the federal workers, the policy states they'll have an opportunity to work for the new company and even receive a similar salary and benefits package.
Piccolo says passengers won't notice much difference besides different uniforms.
"We're hoping the only difference they see is a little better response to customer service, again I want to stress we didn't have huge problems from a local standpoint," he said.
Piccolo expects the transition to be complete by November.
The only other Florida airport to use private screeners is Key West, however Sanford, near Orlando, is expected to be second, with Sarasota the third to make the change.

For the next couple weeks, we'll have an additional guest, Richard, left, of New York City. The plan is simple-ish: He'll meet us in Mpulungu, Zambia, where we'll all catch the ferry across Lake Tanganyika to Tanzania. We'd then cycle for two weeks, up from northern Tanzania, through Burundi, to Kigali in Rwanda. But of course, nothing can go according to plan! The airline has lost his bicycle!
The ferry only leaves once every two weeks. There are no flights. The bus takes twice as long. Will Richard get his bicycle in time to make the ferry? Will he too end up hospitalized? Will someone zip down one of Burundi's famed mountains into an oncoming truck??? Stay tuned! The adventure continues!
Speaking of, in Burundi they drive on the right side of the road, right? Anyone know?

May I suggest one wacky idea? I'm not saying this is GOOD or anything, but it's probably a bit outside the box, for whatever that's worth... What if you had all your common JSPs in a given directory, like so (let's talk Tomcat for a minute, but it doesn't matter)... /tomcat/webapps/commonjsps /tomcat/webapps/webapp1 /tomcat/webapps/webapp2 Then, in either webapp1 or webapp2, let's say you want to use the JSP myJSP1.jsp in the common jsps directory... What if you had a JSP in webapp1 and webapp2 that was just this: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ include file="../commonjsps/myJSP1.jsp.inc" %> My syntax might be a little off, but I think the concept is clean. You would have to have basically a "dummy" page that includes the real page, and that could be a pain, but I think this would work, and maybe it's quicker to do than a custom resource loader.

The numbers are 4-2-5.
That's four down-linemen – a pair of ends and a tackle duo – plus two linebackers, backed by an umbrella of five defensive backs.
Saturday, that Kansas State defensive scheme by the Purples limited the White unit to 123 total yards, plus, kept the second- and third-teamers out of the end zone during the playing of the annual spring game.
Coach Bill Snyder was pleased, but also realistic.
"That probably says we played relatively well, but you have to balance that out," said the K-State coach. "We did play relatively well, but our White offense didn't play with much consistency."
The Purples allowed the Whites to gain just 61 rushing yards, plus another 62 through the air.
That's 25 first-quarter yards, 74 in the second, 20 in the third stanza, and just 4 in the fourth quarter.
"We're getting better," said linebacker Alex Hrebec.
But as Garden City Community College transfer Kadero Terrell added, "We have a long way to go." Certainly a long way to go from a year ago when the Wildcats were No. 117 in total defense. A defense that allowed teams to run, and to pass, and to score, at will – 35.8 points per game, 479 total yards per game (218 rushing, 261 passing).
Hrebec registered 19 tackles Saturday, while end Brandon Harold, d-back Tysyn Hartman, and linebacker John Houlik each had nine tackles.
A walk-on who earned a scholarship, Snyder said of Hrebec, "He's an effort guy. He pays attention and works hard to try to improve his performance level. He's a young guy who makes the effort to learn from mistakes."
Saying that Hrebec is normally in the "right place at the right time," Snyder added that he hopes his linebacker will learn "… to pull the trigger faster and more aggressively." But of 19 tackles, Snyder said, "That says he's around the football."
Harold had four arrests for negative yards, which included three sacks, plus a forced fumble; Hartman and tackle Daniel Calvin had two stops for minus-yards; d-back Josh Moore and Houlik each had two passes broken up; Eric
Childs had a fumble recovery; and, interceptions were scored by Jeffrey Fitzgerald and Courtney Herndon.
As a freshman, Harold played inside at times in 2008, but now is back home on the perimeter as an end.
Playing at times last year at 250 pounds, the 6-foot-6 Harold is now in the 265 range, and growing.
"He's just about ready to turn the corner in the weight room. He's starting to put on some girth," Snyder said. "With normal progression, he should be an improved player year in and year out. He wants to be a good player."
A year ago, Harold led all freshmen around the country with his 10.5 tackles for negative yards while going head-to-head with massive offensive linemen.
"It was another experience, like gaining knowledge of playing against guys who are more aggressive," said Harold. "It was better for me experience-wise to learn how to take on double teams and things like that."
Another to go through a position shift is Terrell, a 6-2, 235-pound native from Eustis, Fla., and linebacker from Garden City Community College, who is now playing defensive end for the Wildcats.
"They want me as a pass rusher," said Terrell, who made the switch only two weeks ago. "I'm learning a lot of Joe Bob (coach Clements) on how to use my feet and my speed, and how to get leverage with my arms. It's just a beginning process of learning all the moves." If there's a defensive question mark, it's can the Wildcats exist in the Big 12 Conference with Houlik as a 5-11, 219-pounder, and Hrebec as a 6-1, 235-pounder?
With consistency, the Wildcats say, "Yes." Right now, Houlik said, "We're up and down. Up one day, and then slide off the next. We need to continue to focus on the fundamentals of tackling and pursuing the ball. We need to spend the summer working our butts off."
"We're nowhere near satisfied," said Hrebec. "We need to learn how to player harder and better."
If there was a surprise starter Saturday, that would be Onaga (Kan.) High School and Hutchinson Community College product.
The 6-1, 186-pounder has only a single line on the Wildcat roster. No bio, no anything else. But Saturday, he started in an injury depleted secondary and scored three tackles from his safety position.
"Sometimes attrition gets you up the ladder. That's part of it, and part of it is a young man making an effort to do some positive things in practice," Snyder said. "It's a little bit of both."
Not playing due to injury Saturday were d-backs Chris Carney, Otis Johnson and Adrian Stryker.

Kim Hughes: he fought very hard
Former Australian cricketer and good friend of Ken Judge, Kim Hughes, has spoken about the much loved AFL player and coach in the wake of his death. Audio courtesy of 6PR.
It takes supreme courage to survive in the unforgiving demands of AFL and WAFL conflicts and on the biggest and most enduring stage of all, in a grand final.
Ken Judge was also a highly accomplished community cricketer with a cherished record and known for producing his finest exploits in the heaviest contests of finals and grand finals.
For all of those accomplishments - in a career which started with his young days as a teenage sporting prodigy - he just couldn't beat the onset of cancer and lost his fight at just 58 on Friday morning.
His unwavering battle took so much more guts than to walk up the race of the mighty MCG colosseum and into grand final battle with the powerful Hawthorn units of the mid-1980s, as well with East Fremantle in WA in the late 1970s.
"Judgey" fought for five-and-a-half-years against multiple myeloma, a deadly form of leukaemia, having been initially told it could envelope his body and take him in just two years.
He is survived by a loving wife Annette and three sons Jason, Beau and Ben.
For much of Judgey's courageous fight he kept his agony locked inside his decaying body, convinced that others "don't need to know" everything.
Within days of heavy bouts of chemotherapy and the horrid after-effects that go with that necessary but unsavoury requirement to preserve an ailing life, he attended the funeral of a great mate's mother.
He ground out hours of comforting to his loyal confidant and then downed the few customary "frothies" from a favoured stubby, with strict instructions to just one or two around him not to let on how physically unwell he really was.
That his beer "tasted off" was just one of the many grotesque changes a cancer sufferer has to bear in their battle to hold on and survive that bit longer.
Another time, when a long-standing close mate and top international sporting reporter passed through Perth just a day after Judgey had copped a blast of chemo, he kept the appointment for a "few beers and a chat" while he was in the west.
Judgey climbed from a recovery bed, dressed and put on a tough, brave veneer and trekked to the city from Fremantle to keep his commitment, again with strict orders given to those around him not to let on his discomfort.
Over the past year or so of his gutsy fight, in order to minimise grief for those close to him, he worked on Perth radio with his Saturday morning sports panel programs and provided his astute and award-winning football analysis with a bag of medication and intravenous drips pumping into him, taped underneath his clothing.
"No one needs to know," were his words to just the one or two people Judgey trusted to know of his plight and discomfort.
Even the committed and devoted medical staff around Charlie Gairdner's oncology department at times marvelled and remarked at how amazed they were at his determined fight with minimum fuss and complaints.
That's not to say many hadn't suffered his wrath and occasional stinging rebuke over the years, including during his, at times, turbulent coaching career over four years at his beloved Hawthorn from 1996 to 1999 before two seasons with West Coast in 2000-01.
He was dumped by West Coast after a frustrating end to a highly successful era under previous coach Mick Malthouse. In taking over after 10 straight years in finals, the Judge era saw missed playoffs in both seasons, triggering an ugly behind-the-scenes falling out with critical management and influential Eagles powerbrokers.
Judge had established impressive WAFL coaching credentials at East Fremantle from early 1991 as he engineered premierships in 1992 and 1994, before being recruited into the unforgiving AFL ranks by another of his many great footy mates David Parkin.
He started with Carlton as an assistant to Parkin, where they shared success with the powerful Blues' 1995 flag winning unit.
Judgey graced hallowed VFL/AFL turf 72 times with Hawthorn under Allan Jeans from 1983-86, as well as 17 outings with Brisbane Lions in 87-88.
He was a deadly accurate by foot and a classy finisher on the run and with set-shots for goal. Judgey's close mate for decades from down Fremantle way and top footy commentator, Brad Hardie described him as one of the "finest goal-kicking exponents" he had ever seen.
Judge played 120 games with East Fremantle starting as a young prodigy from the famous club's local junior area.
A feature of Judge's play through more than 200 WAFL and VFL games was his classic long-sleeved jumper, regardless of rain, hail, windy or warm and sunny conditions.
He was an important member of Old East's historic 1979 premiership victory over staunch rival South Fremantle, in not only one of the most famous derby shootouts of all time but a truly classic grand final in WA footy folklore.
Judge was also in demand from a young age for his cricketing prowess.
At the height of East Fremantle celebrations and gloating with bragging rights at beating the arch enemy for the 1979 flag, Judge was wooed into training and then playing in WACA district cricket first grade ranks a week after one of the most exciting grand finals in WA sporting history.
He was sought to train with Fremantle, at Stevens Reserve just down the road from the famous East Fremantle clubhouse.
He reluctantly agreed and totally against an impeccable personal pride in meticulous discipline for preparation, he bowed to persistence from Fremantle CC overtures and made an inauspicious debut.
Judge would not return to WACA jeague ranks and resumed a remarkably accomplished career in the flannels as one of the finest achievers at any sub-district level in the state.
His fiercely determined and uncompromising competitive nature that was nurtured at Hawthorn under such great mentoring from Jeans and a renowned Hawks culture, fired a strong will to succeed with Judge.
That fighting quality could undoubtedly have led to a highly accomplished and successful WACA district career had it not been for his preference to ply such relentless ambition and ability into Aussie Rules at the highest level, instead of an elite cricket career.
He is the finest individual player produced from the Christian Brothers College cricket club in Fremantle.
Judge is the second highest run-scorer in that competitive club's history, with 12,051 runs at a remarkable average of 50.2, including 17 centuries.
If that wasn't sufficient, he also chimed in across his 320 pride-riddled games with 710 wickets at a miserly average of only 14.3 for each scalp.
Sport dominated Ken Judge's life with the formation of a massive friendship and acquaintances across the nation.
He lived by the philosophies adopted from his much loved and revered legend Jeans of loyalty to mates and those loyal to him (among some of his closest life lasting mates and confidants, as well as the deceased Jeans, were other AFL coaching and playing greats Parkin and Leigh Matthews).
Coaching was in Judge's blood from an early time, with his appointment as CBC cricket club coach when just 19 and juggling a rising WAFL career and all his summer training requirements with his two chosen sports.
His devotion and unyielding desires for personal and team fulfilment to the optimum level were epitomised by his brave battle to beat an ugly illness.
Ken Judge was a truly gutsy man.

Notre Dame started off in a triangle and two in an attempt to force players other than Williams, Dunleavy and Boozer to score. Dahntay Jones only scored 8. Chris Duhon scored 13, more than he often does. Daniel Ewing, though, came off the bench for 18 huge points, including 4 three pointers which, given the level of interior defense that Notre Dame played, was crucial, because Notre Dame's goal was to frustrate Duke's stars, and to a great extent, they succeeded: Dunleavy was 3-8, Williams was 5-18, and Boozer was - shocking! - 5-10. Seriously, though, with the tear he has been on lately, 50% is quite a dropoff!
So Ewing's calm and collected play was huge. What's the deal with the rookie?
Well, quite simply, he's a winner. Most of you know he played high school ball with T.J. Ford of Texas, and you can understand why that was a great, great high school team. What became clear to us early on this year though was that Ewing is, quite simply, a winner. Some players just Get It. Bobby Hurley was like that. We saw him in the McDonald's game, and his team shot ahead every time he was on the court. Ewing has a lot to prove to be in that class, but his instincts are there. He just makes smart plays at the right time, and he's done it all year. People will say next year - rightly - that there's no replacing Jason Williams, but he won't be asked to be Jason Williams. He'll be his own player, and he'll continue to improve.
Notre Dame, as we said and as you likely saw, backed down not a whit and wasn't intimidated by Duke's name or reputation. For most of the game, we thought they were the better team defensively (and offensively for that matter). The frustration showed in numerous ways: Dunleavy traveled on a drive, then ended up airborne under the basket with nowhere to go with the ball, and threw it right to a Notre Dame defender. You could see Jason trying to get going, and maybe his hip made it more difficult (he bruised it and then aggravated it again in recent days). Between them, they had 11 turnovers - more than half of Duke's total (Jones also had 4, meaning that the rest of the team had only 4 turnovers for a total of 19, including Daniel Ewing stepping on the line twice).
Boozer also got into serious foul trouble, as did Williams. Williams ended up sitting down on defensive plays at the end, while Boozer fouled out.
In the second half, the trap Notre Dame set seemed to be working: Duke's stars were frustrated, and in foul trouble, and inside scoring and defense took a hit when Boozer went out.
That was the theory anyway. Didn't quite work out that way. Largely because of the brilliant game by Daniel Ewing, but also including the superb play off the bench of Casey Sanders, who had a wonderful game, Duke pushed back. There were times this season when Duke didn't fight back in these types of situations as well as one might have liked, but Saturday, they outgutted a Notre Dame team down the stretch, saw their lives pass before their eyes, in the words of Mike Brey, and they found their heart.
Duhon had, overall, an excellent defensive game, but he let Chris Thomas get baseline on him to take the lead at 49-48. Next play, Boozer picked up his third foul, and things looked dark for a bit.
Notre Dame pulled ahead by 7, 69-62, when Daniel Ewing found Casey Sanders for a dunk. The next trip down, Casey kept the ball alive on a rebound and Dunleavy got fouled. For Casey, that kind of set the tone.
Ewing came down when Notre Dame was up 71-66 and had just drawn Jason's 4th foul and nailed an absolutely clutch three pointer from the corner. Suddenly, it was a two point game.
Duhon was fouled after Carlos Boozer blocked a shot and hit his free throws to tie the game. Notre Dame never led again. After Boozer's block, he had a tremendous rebound after sloppy Notre Dame shot and made a beautiful outlet pass, but unfortunately Dunleavy traveled. Ewing forced a turnover after a Notre Dame timeout. After the TV timeout, Boozer hit a left handed jumphook. Notre Dame tied it again at 73-73, and again at 75-75, but from there on out it was Duke's defense and free throws and missed shots by Notre Dame.
In another year or two, Notre Dame will be making those kinds of plays work, but Saturday, Duke's experience carried the day. Nonetheless, this is a program with a keen sense of direction now, and a tremendous coach. We really only have one criticism of Notre Dame, and while we don't normally say things like this, it's hard not to in this case:
If Ryan Humphries is not a dirty player, he surely was in this game. Look at the tape:
- Humphreys: smacks Jones at the 17:48 mark.
- Humphreys throws Dunleavy down at the 3:08 mark - in front of the ref!
- Humphreys & Swanagan both took shots at Dunleavy at around the :40 second mark.
- Humphreys hits Williams at the :26 mark.
- Humphreys pulls Dunleavy down by the shoulder & arm, then hits him in the back of the head when he gets up (that's where he got the technical).
- Humphreys smacked Dunleavy in the face at 5:08 on a rebound.
These were not little ticky-tack cheap shots. Some of them were downright dangerous, most egregiously the takedown on Jason Williams. If you watch the tape, you can see Humphries threw his arm across Williams' chest or throat, pulling him backwards hard enough to make Jason's head jerk.
The various attacks on Dunleavy were also troubling at times. The last one listed saw a Humphries forearm end up on or around Dunleavy's face, and the throwdown of Dunleavy at the 3:08 move belonged more to The Rock than to college basketball. Finally, look at the one where Humphries actually got busted: he pulled Dunleavy down by his arm and shoulder and threw him on the floor - and when Dunleavy got up, popped him in the back of the head.
It's become clear in recent games that opposing teams have decided that getting rough with Dunleavy is a way to attack Duke. Physical play is part of the game, and in a basic sense, we don't have a problem with it. Duke uses Boozer against thinner players in a similar way. But what Humphries did to Dunleavy in this game was roughly akin to what a hockey goon does, with this crucial difference: in hockey, enforcers are there to protect smaller players who are hammered by bigger guys. Most of what Humphreys did seemed calculated to intimidate. In that sense, we don't think it worked - Dunleavy got 9 rebounds, so it's not like he shied away from contact - but he took a beating. On several occasions, he raised his arms immediately to show that he wasn't retaliating, which was smart.
We hope that if this happens again this year, Duke will send Matt Christensen in long enough to throw one or two serious elbows. Dunleavy's taking a lot of abuse, and we'd love it if someone hit back hard. This is not a normal thing for us, but it's becoming increasingly blatant, and it might help to send a sharp message.
As you probably know, Duke will face Indiana in the Sweet 16 in Lexington, meaning the locals will have to choose between hating Duke and hating Indiana. Our guess is we win that hands down.
