The Pittsburgh Steelers might have to roll with Byron Leftwich at quarterback for a while.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that Steelers doctors believe starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will miss three weeks with his ribs and shoulder injuries, although the team hasn't given up hope that he could sit out just two games. If that's the case, Roethlisberger would suit up against Baltimore Ravens when the teams meet again in Week 13.
We believe the Steelers still have a shot to win Sunday night against the Ravens, even with Leftwich at quarterback. Pittsburgh also has a road date against the Cleveland Browns next week, which won't be easy assuming Roethlisberger is out.
There never is a good time to lose a franchise quarterback, but this news is crushing for Steelers fans. They need to split with the Ravens to have any shot at the AFC North. They could wind up letting teams like the Cincinnati Bengals back into the playoff race.

A few lucky fans attending tonight's New York City BlackBerry 10 fan event received an early sneak peek of the BlackBerry Q10 in white. The white Q10 emerged from the pocket of BlackBerry's new Chief Marketing Officer Frank Boulben, who was happy to let it pose for a few photos.
There is no debating it. The BlackBerry Q10 in white is SMOKING HOT. I like the look of the Q10 in black too -- be sure to check out our twohands-on videos from earlier today -- but there's something about the Q10 in white that is just oh so right. One more photo below for your viewing pleasure. Check it out!

The "Jonquil City," Smyrna takes its name from the Bible's Book of Revelation; it's the name of one of Paul the Apostle's seven churches in Asia.
The railroad once played a fairly significant role in Smyrna's development. In 1836 the construction of a railroad began through Cobb County, and by the date of its completion in 1842, the railroad had grown Smyrna from a frontier village to a growing community. Gristmills and factories also sprang up in the 1840s, and both of these played a prominent role in the early growth of the community.

DOHA, Qatar, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Caroline Wozniacki, just returned to the WTA Top 10, notched an impressive first-round win Monday at the Qatar Total Open.
Wozniacki, seeded 10th in the tournament, blitzed Mervana Jugic-Salkic 6-1, 6-2 in 60 minutes. She won 65 percent of the points in the match, including nearly 70 percent when serving.
Jugic-Salkic did manage one break in the match -- the lone game she won in the first set -- but Wozniacki cashed 5-of-6 break opportunities for the win.
Earlier Monday it was announced Wozniacki passed Marion Bartoli for the 10th spot in the WTA rankings.
No. 13-seeded Ana Ivanovic posted a similar 6-1, 6-2 win over Tamira Paszek in her first-round match. She also lost her serve once and had five breaks. Ivanovic won 61 percent of the points serving and 61 percent receiving serve.
Darla Gavrilova, inserted in the draw in place of the injured No. 14-seeded Dominika Cibulkova, defeated Anabel Medina Garrigues 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 with two breaks in each set.
Other winners Monday were Anastasia Rodionova, Simona Halep, Mona Barthel, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Caroline Garcia.

Walnuts have the highest amount of omega-3 fatty acids of any tree nut, and are the richest known food source for melatonin, a hormone that protects cells of the body from damage by free radicals. University of Texas researchers found that the nutrients in walnuts may cut delay or lessen the severity of neurodegenerative diseases of aging such as Parkinson�s and Alzheimer�s. Want more? The Lipid Clinic in Spain found that walnut�s polyunsaturated fats may protect arteries from the harm associated with a meal high in saturated fat, a benefit that unmatched by olive oil. The Food and Drug Administration weighed in by stating that eating 1.5 oz of walnuts daily may reduce the risk of heart disease.

OK, first things first - I submitted my thesis about 3.30pm this afternoon! I am now very happy and very tired and I think it hasn't quite sunk in yet... I think I'll need a bit of time to recover, but normal blog service will resume as soon as possible.
In the meantime, though, I went to see Creation last night - the new film about the writing of The Origin of Species - which was very good. It did remind me once again, though, why there are so few films about classicists, or indeed, academics in general. Book-based research just isn't that interesting - it's a long, dull, internal process that doesn't come across very well on film. (Of course, Darwin did all sorts of exciting things in the course of his research which would have worked very well on film, but since the focus was on 1858-1859, when he was writing it all up, we didn't see much of that. I was disappointed - I wanted to see the turtles! Or were they tortoises...?) To make up for this, most of the film was about Darwin coming to terms with the death of his daughter, which was done very well (I sobbed most of the way through) but rather depressing. (Apparently there have been complaints about the film's use of her 'ghost', as Darwin didn't believe in ghosts - but this was, as Mark Kermode has emphatically pointed out, a dramatic device to enable Darwin to express his thoughts and feelings out loud, and as such, probably necessary).
There were a couple of great academic moments though. My panic when a book a bit similar to my thesis appeared last June seems totally inconsequential next to poor Darwin getting scooped after twenty years' work. He has a bit of a mad fit and starts destroying his pigeon house - I think a lot of frustrated academics can relate to that! His twenty years of work also puts my three into perspective (and I have the added bonus that no one is telling me that my thesis has 'killed God', which I would find rather upsetting!). His wife sits up all night reading his book, which is probably familiar to many relatives and friends who've slogged through really boring work proof-reading it, though she was lucky enough to have something pretty interesting to read.
All in all, I'd recommend the film, but take a big box of tissues, and if you know much about Darwin (which I don't) you should probably anticipate a lot of artistic licence. Oh, and the orang-utan is adorable.

Guided Entry: Cruise Stage Separation
Racing toward Mars, 10 minutes before reaching the atmosphere, the cruise stage ejects and then burns up in the atmosphere. Mission complete, cruise stage. Thanks for bringing the Curiosity rover 354 million miles (570 million kilometers) through the cold void of space.
On the heat shield, an instrument named MEDLI turns on. It's ready to measure how hot the spacecraft gets from the extreme friction of a rapid descent through the Martian atmosphere. Predictions are two times hotter than the space shuttle upon Earth entry! It will also measure how the spacecraft's orientation changes in interacting with the dynamic atmosphere. Engineers are excited about this data, the first collected in the atmosphere since the 1970s Viking landers. It will help improve the design of future missions to Mars, making them safer, more reliable, and lighter weight!
Guided Entry:
Separation Cruise Balance Mass Devices (CBMD)
Incoming! A brand-new method for guided entry and precision landing.
Going a ripping 5.8 kilometers per second, the spacecraft ejects two solid tungsten weights - each about 165 pounds (75 kilograms) and the size of a laptop-- shifting the spacecraft's center of mass. With small thrusters at the ready, the aeroshell containing the Mars rover Curiosity can now generate lift and use it. That helps improve landing accuracy from hundreds of miles to about 12 miles (20 kilometers). For comparison, the Mars Phoenix Lander had a landing ellipse the size of Gale Crater, but the Mars rover Curiosity will land within a small area inside of Gale. Talk about self control! It's a big deal. It means we can go places we've never gone before, able to land safely in thousands of sites rather than a handful. It means that, no matter where it lands, the rover can be in driving range of the rocks and minerals that may hold clues to the possibility of life on Mars.
Guided Entry: Entry Interface
Get ready, get set, go! From the official starting line of entry, descent, and landing (EDL), it's all about self-steering! Entering the atmosphere almost 80 miles (125 kilometers) above the martian surface, wind shear in the upper atmosphere swipes violently at the spacecraft. Taming this wild ride, small thrusters on the backshell adjust the angle and direction of the spacecraft's lift to head toward the landing site. Carving a path through the martian atmosphere in a series of "S-shaped" curves, the aeroshell begins to slow down dramatically from 13,200 mph to 1,000 mph (5.9 kilometers per second to 0.45 kilometers per second).
Guided Entry: Peak Heating
Eighty seconds after entering the atmosphere, it's hotter than hot! Due to the spacecraft's huge size*, the heat shield reaches the hottest temperature ever for any Mars entry vehicle, about 3,800 degrees Fahrenheit (2,100 degrees Celsius). Engineers had to coat the entire outside with a honeycomb of special materials to avoid any "melt downs"! As hot as it gets on the outside, though, the Curiosity rover stays at a cozy temperature of 32 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (0-25 degrees Celsius) inside the aeroshell.
*About 14.8 feet (4.5 meters) in diameter and some 6,950 pounds (3,152 kilograms)!
Guided Entry: Peak Deceleration
Hold on tight as friction in the atmosphere slams on the "brakes"! The heat shield takes the brunt of it, slowing the spacecraft from 13,200 to 1,000 miles per hour (5.9 to 0.45 kilometers per second). That's reducing about 90 percent of the kinetic energy the spacecraft had when it first hit the atmosphere.
Guided Entry: Hypersonic Aero-maneuvering
The capsule's shape and mass offset keeps the air pressure lower on one side of the capsule, producing lift. That's a little like the way airplane wings work. They change angles and tilt to create lower air pressure on top and greater on the bottom, creating the lift that allows them to fly. Yet, unlike birds or your average plane, the spacecraft is travelling at hypersonic speeds-that's more than Mach 5! At that speed, molecules of air break apart, creating hot plasma around the spacecraft. Shock waves cause air density and pressure to waver dramatically, so being quick to respond by design is vital.
Guided Entry: Parachute Deploy
Whoosh! Out pops the parachute, about 255 seconds after entry and 7 miles (11 kilometers) above the martian surface. Think of looking out your window on your next long-distance plane ride-it roughly opens at the same height of a commercial passenger plane. But, now imagine rushing down from that height at 900 miles per hour (405 meters per second). That's Mach 2, the top speed of an F18 fighter jet! Luckily, the parachute slows the spacecraft down a lot more, about 9% of its original energy on atmospheric entry. Using the same shape and materials as past Mars landers and rovers, Curiosity's parachute is over two times larger by area than those used for the Mars Phoenix lander and the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
Guided Entry: Heatshield Separation
When the spacecraft is about 5 miles (8 kilometers) above the surface of Mars, zipping down now at a mere Mach .7 (about 310 miles per hour or 140 meters per second), the heat shield pops off and drops away. Bye bye, heat shield. Job "well done" and a "toast" to you! You took a lot of heat in getting the job done!
With the heat shield whisked away, it's a little like taking off a lens cap. The Mars Descent Imager now has a clear view for recording the first ever video of a Mars landing. This movie can give us a "rover's eye" view of the rapidly approaching Martian surface as if we were landing with it.
Guided Entry: Radar Data Collection
The camera's taking pictures, but whoa, what's measuring how far the spacecraft is from the ground? That would be the radar system, calculating speed and altitude with six radar beams. Without it, we could only estimate the spacecraft's height in the air within plus or minus 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). When you're trying to land softly, that's too much mystery!
Engineers want radar lock by the time the rover is about 1.2 miles (3 kilometers) above the surface so that the spacecraft can figure out when to start powered descent. Too early and the spacecraft will run out of fuel. Too late and the spacecraft won't have enough time to stop before hitting the ground. While the radar only has to function for two minutes, it's so important that engineers tested it over 100 hours, dangling it from a helicopter over the Mojave and Death Valley.
Guided Entry: Backshell Separation & Powered Descent
Backshell Separation
Time to take a deep breath, let go of our security devices, and commit to brief free fall. Some 80 seconds after heat shield separation, the backshell, with its parachute still attached, separates and flies off from the descent stage. For engineers, it's like the feeling of jumping out of a plane for the first time: it's a leap of faith, based on a lot of hard work and prior training, but still breathtaking. With the rover tucked underneath and acting as its computer "brains," the descent stage is now on its own, about 0.9 miles (1.6 kilometers) above the ground and traveling 180 miles per hour (about 80 meters per second). Almost home!
Powered Descent: Retrorockets Fire!
Get out of the way, fast! All eight retrorockets on the descent stage fire, doing a divert maneuver to get away from the departing backshell and parachute so that they don't all crash together. These retrorockets will control the vehicle's descent until the rover separates from its final delivery system.
Sky Crane Maneuver: Rover Separation & Mobility Deploy
Rover Separation
Here comes the first use of a "soft landing" method called the Sky Crane maneuver. It allows the rover to land safely on its wheels without any kind of extra cushioning. Think of a large crane on a construction site that lowers a steel beam for a skyscraper to the ground. What happens first is rover separation. Once the engines slow descent to about 1.7 miles per hour (0.75 meters per second), the descent stage maintains that downward speed until the rover touches down. Four out of eight retrorockets shut off before three nylon ropes (the bridle) and an "umbilical cord" begins to spool out. About 25 feet (7.5 meters) long, they lower Curiosity from the descent stage. The rover is now at an altitude of about 66 feet (about 20 meters) above the surface, and about 12 seconds before touchdown.
Mobility Deploy
Curiosity's wheels and suspension system, which doubles as the landing gear, pop into place just before touchdown. It's a little like the way commercial planes release their wheels prior to landing. Engineers have tested the wheels and mobility system in all kinds of conditions, including steep slopes with a lot of large rocks, even though the extremes tested aren't expected at the landing site.
Sky Crane Maneuver: Touchdown
The bridle is fully spooled and very taut now as the rover descends "softly," perhaps kicking up some dust as its wheels touch down for the first time in its new home. It might even bounce a little. How does it know it has landed? The rover and descent stage are roughly the same weight, so, when half the weight is gone (that is, the descent stage detects that the rover is supported by the ground), the descent stage assumes that the rover has landed. That calculation takes less than a second.
Sky Crane Maneuver: Flyaway
Once the descent stage detects touchdown, pyros cut the bridle and "umbilical cord." With this final directive and release, the descent stage no longer has access to the rover's computer "brains." Having completed its mission and now "unconscious," the descent stage flies out of the way, coming to rest on Mars at least some 492 feet (150 meters) from the rover, but probably more than double that distance.
First Martian Day (Sol 0)!
Given the time it takes for a signal to reach Earth from Mars, the mission team will technically find out about landing about 13 minutes later. Landing is scheduled for August 5, 2012, Pacific Time around 10:31 p.m. Earth receive time.
What information will they receive? There's enough time before Earth drops out of sight (Earth "sets" below the horizon) for basic progress information to be sent back directly to Earth until about heat shield separation. After that, the mission team is dependent on the Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to relay the technical details of entry, descent, and landing. Odyssey will "live stream" data to the Earth during entry, descent and landing, while MRO will record the data being sent by Curiosity for later playback.
Upon a successful landing, Curiosity's computer would switch from entry, descent and landing mode to surface mode. The rover would begin her first Martian day (sol) on the surface of Mars!
The phases of the mission include:

Rapha's new Merino Arm Warmers are, as the name suggests, mostly merino wool with a bit of elastane (5%) thrown into the mix to add stretchiness, and they're exceptionally comfortable.
As you'll know if you own any Rapha wool clothing, they use only sheep that are washed and conditioned every morning, groomed twice daily and fed on a diet of nourishing, green-leafed vegetables. All the while, the sheep are watching newsreels of epic Tour de France stages from the 1950s.
And that is all absolutely true, which is why the wool is incredibly soft and fine and suitable for cycling. It really does feel great against your skin. No prickliness, no itchiness, no scratchiness.
These arm warmers aren't thick so I thought they'd let more air through than Rapha's standard (and £5 cheaper) fleece-backed arm warmers. But wearing them in tandem (not a classic look, admittedly), I'd say they offer about the same level of insulation. There's really not much in it either way, meaning they're a good weight for autumn and spring. They're certainly considerably warmer than skinny Lycra options.
Arm warmers don't usually have to deal with a ton of sweat - you just take them off if you start overheating; that's the whole point - but these stay comfortable even if they do get a bit damp and they're lightweight enough to dry out quickly.
The other good thing about wool as opposed to most synthetic fabrics is that it doesn't start reeking if it does get sweaty. So if you use these on the ride to work in the morning, say, you won't be pulling on minging kit for the ride home.
A rubber gripper at the top holds them in place and you can't even feel the flat-locked seam down the inside..
Soft wool arm warmers with good insulation -although as ever with Rapha, they're pricey

Make and model: Rapha Merino Armwarmers
Size tested: Black - L
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Rapha say, "Made from a fabric developed exclusively by Rapha, these high-performance arm warmers combine the natural performance properties of merino wool with a degree of Lycra for stretch and durability. They provide insulation, are highly breathable and also transfer moisture effectively. The fabric is quick-drying so the arm warmers can be used in a variety of conditions. They are versatile enough for city riding and work brilliantly when paired with any short-sleeved Rapha jersey."
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
It's 95% merino wool, 5% elastane.
They're tubes of merino wool with a flatlock seam. There's not a lot to get right or wrong here.
They insulate, they stay in place... that's about all they're supposed to do.
Good so far. Wool isn't s hard wearing as some synthetic fabrics but it's not as if the arm warmers are going to rub against anything else as you cycle. It's quite easy to catch a thread on things like Velcro.
They feel great: soft and warm
There aren't too many other merino arm warmers out there but you can pick up a pair for under £20 so you'd struggle to call these great value.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
They do a straightforward job well.

Get Ready for another big increase in production costs. Gary Schnitkey, farm financial management specialist at the University of Illinois, forecasts that corn and soybean producers will see significant price increases for all input costs next year.
"For corn, 2009 non-land production costs are projected at $529/acre, a $141/acre increase from 2008 levels," Schnitkey says. Non-land production costs averaged $286/acre between 2003 and 2007, so that puts 2009 production costs $243/acre higher than that five-year average, an increase of 85%.
The increase is just as dramatic for soybeans. Non-land production costs for 2009 are projected at $321/acre, up $82/acre from 2008 costs. The 2003 to 2007 non-land costs averaged $180/acre, putting 2009 production costs $141 above the 2003 to 2007 average, an increase of 78%.
Fertilizer is singled out as the input with the largest cost increase, with prices for corn projected at $215/acre for 2009, an increase of $97/acre over the 2008 level of $118/acre. And soybean fertilizer costs for 2009 are projected at $98/acre, a $53 increase over the 2008 level of $45/acre.
Schnitkey based his cost projections on central Illinois farms with high-productivity land, but the increases are expected to be just as dramatic across the Corn Belt.
And using his numbers, break-even prices also should climb. "Based on yield expectations of 191 bu./acre, the 2009 break-even price for corn is $3.82/bu. and the soybean break-even price is $9.65/bu.," Schnitkey says. "We've reached a new plateau on the cost of production."
Projecting further ahead, Schnitkey says all indicators point to continued high input costs for 2010 as well. "I don't foresee a price decline unless there's a dramatic drop in energy prices," he says. "And I don't see that happening."

aboutFeatured on this page you can find various kinds of projects within the domain of an architecture with special interest to innovation, new conceptual ideas and new techniques like biomimicry. With the goal to develop innovative programatic solutions for a new performative architecture the approach is open and dedicated to experimentation instead of affirmation of the status quo. The work focuses on various notions of architectural space and form (Piranesi, Kiesler, Stanley Kubrick). It investigates the relation of form, purpose and aesthetics. Issues are either part of architectural projects or an integral part of research topics and are reflected and illustrated in animations, diagrams, architectural drawings or physical models.

Don't tell anyone, but Massachusetts is kind of a big nerd. We simply love science and nature. You could say it's in our nature, with scenic roads like the lovely Mohawk Trail, 1500 miles of postcard pretty coastline, and some of America's most brilliant fall foliage. We could spend hours at the Museum of Science, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and wish we could live at the Franklin Park Zoo or maybe the Butterfly Place, surrounded by colorful creatures. And don't even get us started on the New England Aquarium, fully renovated in 2013.

Enterprise app store adoption rises: Gartner
- 13 February, 2013 10:59
One quarter of enterprises will have an enterprise app store by 2017, according to a Gartner report.
The statistic is worldwide but Gartner analyst Brian Prentice told Computerworld Australia he believes "Australia will track global averages".
With employees increasingly wanting to bring consumer apps into the workplace, enterprises are creating app stores to take control of the software downloaded and installed on company hardware.
"Apps downloaded from public app stores for mobile devices disrupt IT security, application and procurement strategies," Gartner analyst Ian Finley said in a statement.
"Bring your own application (BYOA) has become as important as bring your own device (BYOD) in the development of a comprehensive mobile strategy, with the trend toward BYOA beginning to affect desktop and Web applications as well."
"[Enterprise app stores represent] at least a partial solution, but only if IT security, application, procurement and sourcing professionals can work together to successfully apply the app store concept to their enterprises," Finley said.
"When successful, they can increase the value delivered by the application portfolio and reduce the associated risks, license fees and administration expenses."
Gartner predicted that the increasing number of mobile devices and rising use of mobile device management (MDM) software will drive adoption of enterprise app stores.
"Today, most MDM providers have a simple way of extending apps to mobile devices, usually through a basic agent on the device, but many are launching more-sophisticated app stores that can host enterprise and third-party apps to be accessed by smartphones, tablets and PCs," said Gartner analyst Phillip Redman.
Gartner cautioned that an enterprise app store must provide a wide selection of apps to be successful. Users won't use enterprise app stores if they provide little choice, it said.
Evernote, a consumer app commonly brought into the work place, this week released a business version in response to IT managers seeking greater control of the software used by employees.

Can I have a job as a student?
Full-time education
If you are following full-time education, you can have a job as a work student once:
- you have reached the age of 16 years;
- you have reached the age of 15 years and you have completed the first two study years ofsecondary education.
Part-time education
If you go to school on a part-time basis, you can only work as a work student if :
- you do not work under a part-time employment or training contract;
- you do not go through an apprenticeship by virtue of an apprenticeship contract;
- you are not receiving a transitional pay (unemployment insurance);
- you are only working during the school holidays
Evening classes
If you are following evening classes (or another form of education with a limited curriculum), you are no longer considered as student. In that case you cannot perform any longer a student job.
Long-term contracts
If you are bound with the same employer by a contract which lasts more than 12 months, you are considered as a salaried worker and no longer as a student. Consequently you can no longer perform a student job for this employer.
What are these "50 days"?
As a student you receive from the government a package of 50 days each year (your 'contingent') during which you pay less social contributions than a standard employee.
You can check how many days you have left with the Student@work - 50days application.
You are allowed to work for more than 50 days, but this will be less advantageous.
I don't study in Belgium or do not live in Belgium but in one of the neighbouring countries. Do I receive 50 days too?
Yes. You too have the right to participate in the 50 day plan, which allows you to work and to pay reduced social contribution. The general rule is that the social security contributions are owed to the country where you work.
In case you work not only in Belgium but also in another country, there are different rules. In that case please contact us to receive advice tailored to your individual situation.
I am only studying in Belgium temporarily. Do I receive 50 days too?
Every student who is allowed to carry out student work in Belgium is entitled to 50 days during which he/she may work for reduced social contributions. This is regardless of his/her nationality or origin.
If your nationality is not that of any of the states of the European Union (except from Bulgaria and Romania) or that of any of the following states : Lichtenstein, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland, you are not automatically entitled to work in Belgium. In this case, there are restrictions or additional conditions which you may need to fulfil before you can start working.

Three must BEs for securing a summer internship:
- Be humble
- Be confident
- Be thankful
Be humble. This economy has many employers concentrating on keeping business alive–not always the best time to develop new internship programs. But companies are still doing it—offering their time and experience to help prepare the future workforce. In brighter times, internships were typically considered a form of corporate community service—taking the time to prepare America's young adults for a multitude of careers. Then, a hiring manager might have expected an interviewing intern to ask the question, "What will this internship do for me?" But these are different times and being humble will serve you well. By Humble, I mean your focus should be on 'what you can do for them, NOT what they can do for you.'
Be confident. Being confident means believing you are worth a company's time. Confidence is different than being self-absorbed (a trait common among insecure people). It's a quiet glow of strength and self-awareness that comes from owning the courage to seek out and acquire the professional skills, industry exposure, and coveted connections that make internships so valuable in the first place.
Be thankful. Some students get internships through their parents, friends, or relatives. Others find them through their school career centers. Regardless of how you get an internship, gratitude is essential. The number of interns that take the time to write thank yous after an interview hovers at about 5%. This low percentage means the thank you note is a huge opportunity to stand out. Everyone appreciates a person who truly appreciates an opportunity extended to them. Thank you should be the first thing you say when you BEGIN an interview and it should be the first thing you say when you end an interview. You cannot express your gratitude enough when it comes to letting employers know how appreciative you are to be considered for an internship. Let the manager know you are worth it and that you appreciate their time.
Got feedback? Bring it here – I'd love to hear it.

Adam "Pacman" Jones spoke at the NFL Rookie Symposium last week in order to tell the Class of 2012 what not to do.
Perhaps the most insane story he told was about how quickly money can be spent when you have a lot of it. Indianapolis Colts tight end Coby Fleener relayed that Jones regretfully told of spending $1 million in a single weekend.
Terrell Owens, sitting on the stage next to Jones, said, "Man, you crazy!" according to Fleener.
Fleener was a guest writer filling in for Peter King this week in SI.com's Monday Morning Quarterback column. The Stanford graduate gave a good inside look at the symposium.
Jones seemed to know that he was lucky just to be talking to the rookies. He estimated that 90 percent of his childhood friends from Atlanta are now dead or in jail. The fact that Jones is still in the NFL is one of the league's quieter surprise stories from the past few years.

CHICAGO (AP) - The Latest on a winter storm affecting parts of the U.S. (all times local):
4:10 p.m.
At least two people have died while out in the heavy snowfall that's moved across parts of the Midwest.
One death happened as crashes during the snowfall snarled highways across the southern tier of Michigan on Friday. Police say the person was killed when a semitrailer didn't stop in time and crushed a car that was stopped in traffic on U.S. 23 near Flint, Michigan.
A Michigan State Police trooper also was taken to a hospital after a pickup truck lost control and slammed into his squad car while he was stopped on Interstate 94 northeast of Detroit.
A spokesman for Edward Hospital in the Chicago suburb of Naperville says a man in his 60s suffered a fatal heart attack Friday morning while shoveling snow. The National Weather Service reported snowfall of at least 8 inches in Naperville.
2:10 p.m.
A section of Interstate 94 in southwestern Michigan was blocked after dozens of vehicles crashed amid heavy snowfall.
Michigan State Police said about 50 vehicles were involved in the Friday afternoon pileup in the highway's eastbound lanes just east of Kalamazoo.
Several cars, SUVs and semitrailers slid into each other or into the ditch along the highway. No information on injuries was immediately available.
The National Weather Service says the Kalamazoo area has seen at least 6 inches of fresh snowfall since late Thursday as the region remained under a winter storm warning.
10:40 a.m.
Chicago officials say about 6 to 7 inches of snow has fallen on the city and they're gearing up for three more waves through the weekend.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said at a Friday morning news conference that the city, its workers and residents are up to it. He says "we're tried and tested here." City officials say they're expecting another round of snow later Friday, one overnight and then a final round Saturday night into Sunday. Those could bring another 3 to 9 inches total.
More than 1,000 flights have been canceled at the city's O'Hare and Midway international airports. Delays at O'Hare are averaging 35 minutes and less than 15 minutes at Midway. Chicago Public Schools canceled classes Friday. CPS officials say they anticipate students being back in classrooms Monday.
8:50 a.m.
Snow is piling up from a winter storm that's moving across the across the upper Midwest, snarling traffic and closing some freeways.
The National Weather Service says Friday morning it's received reports of between 9 and 11 inches (23 to 28 centimeters) of snow over a 24-hour period in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Eight inches was reported in parts of northern Illinois and up to about 6 inches was reported the Chicago area.
Totals could be about a foot by day's end.
Portions of northern Indiana were hit hard, with 8 inches reported in New Carlisle. Snow across southern and central Michigan ranged from 7 inches on the western side of the state to more than 2 inches so far in the Detroit area.
Crashes were reported, including a multi-vehicle smashup that closed a stretch of eastbound Interstate 94 near Ann Arbor.
6:30 a.m.
Thousands of air travelers are being delayed by a winter snowstorm that's moving across the across the upper Midwest.
The Chicago Department of Aviation reports Friday morning that about 550 flights were canceled at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and about 230 flights were canceled at Chicago's Midway Airport.
By early Friday, more than 100 flights were canceled at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus, Michigan.
Airlines had warned travelers earlier in the week to expect flight cancelations to and from Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
Some courts and government offices shut down, joining schools in the path of the storm that closed for the day in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Court closings were reported in Chicago and Detroit, and driver's license offices were shut in the Chicago area.
4:50 a.m.
Snow from a winter storm moving across the Great Lakes is leaving roads treacherous, closing schools and cancelling hundreds of flights across the upper Midwest.
The storm is expected to drop about a foot (1/3 meter) of snow or more in some areas by the time it moves eastward out of the region Friday night. Some of the highest totals are forecast in the Chicago area, northern Indiana and southern Michigan.
Early Friday, the National Weather Service received reports of 4 inches (10 centimeters) of snow in northern Illinois.
Slide-offs and crashes also were reported early Friday.
Meteorologist Heather Orow in Grand Rapids, Michigan, says the storm is "generally going to be an issue for travel." People should stay off the roads if possible and expect delays and hazardous conditions.

A winter storm moving across the Great Lakes that's forecast to drop about a foot of snow in some areas has closed schools and forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights.
The National Weather Service issued winter-weather warnings and advisories across the upper Midwest. The snow that began falling late Thursday afternoon is expected to continue through Friday as the storm moves east.
American, United and Southwest airlines warned travelers to expect more flight cancellations to and from Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
The expectation of up to 12 inches around Chicago prompted officials to close the city's public schools to about 390,000 students on Friday.
Weather service meteorologist Trent Frey says the forecast is for up to nine inches of snow in Detroit through late Friday. Schools across Michigan also cancelled classes.
