Finally, here is a worthy opponent for the Apple TV, the Fire TV from Amazon and quite evidently, games and Amazon Prime Instant Video streaming are a plus for the latter, right? Well, let's wait a bit till Apple announces their next-gen. Apple TV so that we can make a fair Apple TV 4 vs Amazon Fire TV comparison. In the meantime, if you're craving to get your Amazon Prime Instant Video subscription or rented movies on your Apple TV, here is a way.
After the release of iPad Air people began re-imagining iPhones to match the "Air" aesthetics. But what about the possibility of an Apple TV Air? Well, nobody was expecting that. Curved is behind this one too, after the wirelessly rechargeable touch-enabled Apple TV remote concept and the remote slash gamepad concepts, showed off in the last couple of weeks.
Netflix finally added full AirPlay support to their app in the latest iOS 7 update but in the process of doing so the company broke the feature which allowed an iOS device to be connected to the TV with the HDMI AV adapter.
Black Friday has long been a great way to get insane deals on all things, especially when it comes to high-end tech and accessories. Thanks to Amazon.com, and others, we no longer have to deal with the clear downside of Black Friday… lines, lines, and more lines. Knowing there are likely to be many deals out there that will benefit you and your Apple TV setup, we thought we would collect some of the best Black Friday deals and put them here, for you. So whether looking for an Apple TV, a mount, a stand, a TV, cables, remotes, or some AirPlay devices, we have you covered. Though Amazon is not the only place to go, we have to admit they have clearly got the most going for them from pricing to delivery. That said, we will focus primarily on Amazon.com deals.
First announced for iPad 2 back in June, AirPlay mirroring is now coming to iPhone 4S. This feature will let you see on your TV (with the Apple TV 2 plugged in) exactly what's on your new iPhone. Although iOS 4 natively supports AirPlay for photos, videos and music, and there are iPhone apps that let you AirPlay pretty everything – web pages (Web Browser for Apple TV), live view of your iPhone's camera (Camera for Apple TV), maps, text editor (TVOut Genie!) – one thing still missing are games. Well, it will finally change with the arrival of the iPhone 4S and, as this video shows, we can expect it will work as smooth as we are hoping for.
"We've sold a lot of them but it's never been huge hit," Jobs said last week. How could we not agree: Apple TV wasn't a game changer for the living room. But hey, there are hundreds thousands of users completely satisfied with the existing ATV (according to the analysts, Apple might have sold 3 million Apple TV devices worldwide) and most of them never even thought of hacking this mysterious box! That's why here at Apple TV Hacks, we think Steve has figured it out very well: what the average customer wants from his/her HDTV in the living room is to play latest movies, popular TV shows, family vacation photo slideshow and maybe some music from time to time. We, geeks, need more, that's obvious, and that's why we are so disappointed with the new device. The only thing we can do now is to try to squeeze as much as we can out of this hockey puck when we put our hands on it sometime at the end of September.
But before that happens, let's focus on what we know about the second generation Apple TV so far.

Has anybody been there? Is it worth the drive to Acton? what should I order? MMMMMmmmm ramen noodles.
re: Ramen Lover
With a name like Ramen Lover, you just cannot NOT ask where one can get a yummy ramen.
I've been reading lots of postings about ramen, how Toronto is not a place for ramen. Yes, I know this is not Japan, but given the choices and alternatives, which ones are among the best? Kenzo, I've been, and I quite liked it there. And thats all the ramen I've had in Toronto. Where else should I try? Criteria--below $8 a bowl, mostly in and around downtown.
re: sanjay
Would definitly recommend Double Happiness for a bowl of $5 ramen (before tax) and Ema-tei by Queen West for a delicious $6.50 bowl of ramen.
The ramen they serve are quite different from each other, but both yummy in their own ways!
re: jayseeca
In Toronto I found Kenzo to be the best, Ema-tei second. I didn't much like Double Happiness at all.
re: echeng25
any particular reason for the order?
I enjoyed Kenzo, and although it's not worth the drive to Acton, it is worth the drive to Yonge and just south of Steeles. I like the non-spicy ramen soups, like the salt or shoyu flavours, although my parents prefer the spicy soup more.
And can anyone comment on their okonomi-yaki? some of the best ramen I've had in toronto, but always on the lookout for somewhere with awesome okonomi-yaki (other than okonomi house)
I did not enjoy my ramen at Kenzo, I did like their fresh gyoza however.
Have you tried Ajisen? Ajisen Ramen has recently opened a branch in Steeles & Warden by Chinese owners. (Ajisen orginially started in Japan).
I love it - althought it's not best ramen I've had, but it's one of the better ones in T.O.
re: clumsi
Kenzo is Korean owned, hence the tendency for spicy broths. It is the best in Toronto, albeit that is not something to brag about. Ramen is admittedly quite weak here. My fav at Kenzo's is the Tonkotsu (not on menu but pasted on walls). Their gyozas are excellent though, highly recommended.
Ajisen is a Japanese chain w/ locations all over America. Most of these franchises are Chinese owned. Trust me when I say this, stay away from Chinese owned ramen chains. Not a good look at all......
I am not insulting your taste, but Ajisen is not authentic at all.
Speaking about inauthentic, Kenzo certainly does not get a good rating in my book. After hankering for ramen yesterday I browsed through the chowhound posts and decided to try Double Happiness - until to my dismay I read the post that said they closed up shop! So my sister and I decided to try Kenzo and made the drive up to the new Little Korea area (!) The server was quite friendly and I enjoyed the look and feel of the restaurant and menu.
I decided to order the satporomisoramen ($8.95) despite the spelling error (which should probably have been my first clue). My sister decided to try the shoyu-ramen after being told she couldn't have the miso-ramen as part of the combo even though the menu implied that she could. Didn't complain tho, and we also ordered tako-yaki, and was pleased that the dish was on offer.
Our bowls arrived, and for one thing I was annoyed to see that they had sprinkled pieces of ground pork on what was supposed to be an all vegetable dish (which is why I chose it). I know the broth is probably somewhat meat based but it would have been nice if they had indicated that there would be meat in the dish. Didn't complain tho, I just picked the pieces out.
My sister was not pleased with her ramen at all. It had a metallic aftertaste and she had to put tons of karashi on it to cover up the taste. Plus the noodles were anything but authentic. Instant noodles would have been way better. My miso broth was okay, but nothing to write home about. Or maybe I should write home because my mom's ramen tops these by miles!
The worst part of our meal tho had to be the tako-yaki. They arrived 6 times bigger than they should have been meaning that they were not fully cooked and really mushy on the inside. In a word: inedible. Certainly not worth $7.95! My sister's gyoza was steamed thank goodness but she said the wrap had an unpleasant gooey texture, unlike the amazing gyoza my mom makes at least once a month.
All in all, a very disappointing experience. I will never go there again. Makes me want to ask my mom to open up a restaurant so Toronto could finally have a great place for ramen.
I guess all that's left to try is Ajisen, right?
re: n10sity
I'm just as sad that Double Happiness closed down.. but WHYYYYYY?? Oh please, Ajisen? Like you say, I'd rather cook instant ramen noodles.
I did a quick write up awhile ago when Ajisen first opened. Here it is reposted:
Ajisen ramen - same franchise @ warden + steeles (TNT plaza)
I Went there last night. I have pictures, but will add later.
-impeccable and friendly service (probably cuz of grand opening)
-only complaint: Maybe a lil too friendly, one waitress likes to talk really close to your face [within inches of touching your nose]
-decent tea upon sitting
-noodles came 5 minutes before my cutlet arrived
I had curry cutlet ramen (7.99)
- textbook pork cutlet, lots of good curry flavour mixed into soy pork broth
- couple of unpleasant unmixed curry paste gobs in the broth
Partner had tenderous ribs ramen (7.99)
- soy pork broth rich and flavourful,
- ribs a bit stringy, but also very flavourful and "fall-apart" from long braising
-Reminiscent of spaghettini
- it's extruded, not cut/pulled
-Wasn't my personal preference
Extras: (found on the table)
- minced dried garlic (so bad for a date!)
- chili flakes
- soy sauce
- vinegar

The analysis determined that the cost to manufacture autologous therapy (£2260–3040 or US$3630–4890 per dose) will be more
than double that to produce allogeneic therapy (£930–1140 or US$1490–1830 per dose) because current expert opinion is that
with the former each patient will be required to undergo donor screening and testing and their final product will be subject
to release testing. For allogeneic therapy, however, only a small number of donors will need to be screened and tested to
find a high-quality stem-cell sample to produce a cell-bank system, which will provide treatments for around a decade, and
release testing will be limited to each batch of the final product, which will provide approximately 100 doses of therapy.
Neither autologous nor allogeneic therapy will be able to compete with small molecule or biological drugs on retail price.
To maximize their possibility of reimbursement from healthcare payers, stem-cell therapies will need to differentiate themselves
by demonstrating good efficacy and safety in diseases that have significant mortality or morbidity (such as cardiac and neurological
illnesses), where no satisfactory treatments exist or where the standard of care is particularly expensive over the duration
of the illness (in terms of the cost of drugs, hospitalizations, primary care visits, nursing home care, physiotherapy). To
justify their high price, stem-cell therapies will almost certainly need to modify disease progression or help restore normal
physiological function rather than merely provide short-term symptomatic control.
For allogeneic therapy, immune rejection of administered donor stem-cells by the recipient remains a key concern. Mesenchymal
stem-cells (MSCs) will almost certainly become a leading source of stem-cells in allogeneic therapy because they are considered
immunoprivileged and so unlikely to invoke an immune response in the recipient (7). The hope is that using MSCs will abate
the need for immunosuppressive drugs. Another fear is the possibility of transferring pathogens from the donor to recipients,
but this risk will need to be completely excluded via meticulous safety testing when establishing a cell bank system.
In contrast, autologous therapy is anticipated to be commercialized using a "service-based" business model, a much more challenging
business proposition for a number of reasons. The variation in stem-cells from different patients may mean that donor material
from large numbers of patients does not yield therapy after culture expansion for the selected time period, particularly given
that MSCs most probably culture expand less well with advancing age (8), which is precisely the age group at highest risk
of being inflicted with medical conditions. In cases where donor material does not produce therapy after culture expansion
for a specified duration, should culturing be continued? If yes, this would mean that therapies under production for different
patients would be at different stages of the manufacturing process at a given point in time, causing logistical difficulties,
increasing the risk of errors, and adding further to media and growth factor costs. Due to such issues, a considerable degree
of flexibility would need to be built into any manufacturing process for autologous therapy and production would be more difficult
to scale up on demand.
The length of time required to manufacture autologous therapy will prevent it from being used in acute patient care, which
will reduce its commercial opportunity. There is also the fear that if an automated cell culturing machine runs cell lines
from multiple patients simultaneously cross contamination could occur. This risk will need to be ruled out using GMP. Finally,
patients will need to undergo two procedures for autologous therapy, one to extract stem-cells and the other to reintroduce
them a few weeks later after culture expansion, which may raise medical and ethical considerations.
The assumptions for autologous therapy underlying the analysis probably represent the best-case scenario in terms of it being
producible for all patients in the same time frame as allogeneic therapy using automated cell culturing. Therefore, manufacturing
costs for autologous therapy may be much higher, if these assumptions are found to not hold true as our knowledge of stem-cell
science and manufacturing increases.
The analysis undertaken has several key limitations: It assumes that it will actually be possible to manufacture both autologous
and allogeneic therapy for a given medical illness and that both therapy types will have equivalent efficacy and safety. Both
of these assumptions are unlikely to hold true with diseases in reality. It is also quite possible that for certain acute
medical conditions, such as stroke or myocardial infarction, stem-cell therapy may need to be given within a finite window
post-event, say 24–48 h, to achieve optimal results, which would rule out autologous therapy usage. Finally, it may be unwise
to administer autologous therapy to patients with a personal or family history of cancerous, genetic or other pertinent disease.
It is important to highlight that this analysis assumed that each patient would need only one dose of therapy, but in practice
multiple doses may be required to treat a medical condition. Additional doses of autologous therapy could be produced for
a patient at no additional donor and release testing cost, if manufactured at the same time as the first dose and stored until
required. Additional doses of allogeneic therapy could be produced from the established cell bank system, which in practice
would be capable of generating much more than 2500 doses annually for ten years. The cost of release testing would, however,
double in allogeneic therapy, if patients needed two doses as release testing is required for every batch consisting of 100
doses. Donor and release testing (along with cell banking for allogeneic therapy) essentially cost £1290–1820 (US$2070–2920)
for the first dose of autologous therapy and £13–25 (US$21–40) for the first dose of allogeneic therapy, so the cost to manufacture
additional doses of allogeneic therapy for a patient would remain approximately the same as the first dose, but the cost to
produce additional doses of autologous therapy would drastically fall to ~40% of the first dose (from £2260–3040, US$3620–4870
to £960–1200, US$1540–1920) and become comparable to that for allogeneic therapy.

To XM or Not to XM – A Radio Researcher's Perspective
by Sabrina Benton, Director of Research
Ever since I first heard about satellite radio in 1999 I thought this would be a great product for me to have. I commute over 40 miles each way to work; and I am a big music fan. Music is on in my car, office and home almost all the time. Late last year, my employer, Edison Media Research, decided that we needed to have a better understanding of this satellite radio service and how it could impact our clients. So in December XM Satellite Radio was installed in my car for a six-month trial period. With this opportunity came a few responsibilities: allow other members of the company to ride with me to listen to XM, evaluate and share my experience with clients, and finally to share my thoughts with the public.
The first question when considering satellite radio is whether it is worth the initial investment for the essential equipment. My Pioneer receiver cost $422.94 installed. Would I have purchased the equipment without Edison Media Research picking up the tab? No way! I would never pay hundreds of dollars to have what I consider to be a toy installed in my car. As a single mother I only spend money on essentials and this definitely does not qualify. From research we have conducted over the last couple of years, most consumers find a $300-$400 installation fee too expensive.
Although satellite radio offers great freedom from both commercials and geographic boundaries, something many music lovers can appreciate, it is not something I find a necessity. Working in Central New Jersey I have access to a wide variety of stations out of New York and New Jersey. At home near the Jersey shore, I can even get some of Philadelphia's radio stations. With so much available to me, variety of programming is not that hard to find and not something I feel the need to look for. Consumers in smaller markets or areas with poor reception may find satellite radio a more useful service than I do.
It only took a couple of days with XM to know there are two distinct aspects of the XM experience; the equipment and the programming. Equipment issues are more serious than programming issues because after spending over $400 on a receiver you don't want to find out that it does not offer useful features. And I found there are definite disadvantages with the Pioneer equipment.
The most obvious disadvantage for me is the size of the Pioneer LCD screen. XM provides the title and artist for songs played on their channels (a feature not available if you listen to the commercial channels they carry like Radio Disney or WSIX from Nashville). This is probably my favorite part of the XM subscription, instant access to information that on traditional radio you have to hope a DJ will tell you sometime during the next commercial break. But the Pioneer tuner displays only 10 characters, without the ability to scroll the information. I am often left guessing at the full names of artists and titles. You see things like "Smells Lik" or "Smashing P". Funny at times, but not helpful when you really want to know the title of a song.
One of the most talked about features of XM is that they have over 100 channels to choose from. The channels are broken down into programming categories. Channel numbers run from 1 to 170 with gaps left presumably for tuning ease and future expansion. Both the channel number and an easy to remember name identify each channel (i.e. "Channel 41 Boneyard", "USA Today Headlines on Channel 121", "Soul Street Channel 61", etc.). None of the current satellite radio receivers comes equipped with a number pad for "dialing" to the channel you want. The ability to go directly to a specific channel by dialing the number would be a truly innovative change to the tuner. Flipping through all the channels to find a specific one is quite a hassle with over 100 channels to surf through. It is also quite a distraction when driving down the highway. Like traditional car stereos, the satellite receiver does provide six memory buttons you can pre-program a total of 18 channels. However, I have been listening to such a variety of channels that it is harder to remember where I programmed the channel than it is to remember the actual channel number.
With all these channels you have a huge variety of programming not available on "terrestrial" radio. The problem is finding a station that has programming I completely enjoy. I have listened to a small rock station out of Northern New Jersey (WDHA-FM) loyally for over five years. They offer a mix of Rock music I describe as Current and "Classic Rock that Really Rocks". The first night I had XM, I tuned to the Rock stations to see if one offered the same type of programming. I consulted the list of stations provided with my subscription and decided to try "Boneyard", a Hard Rock station. I heard both Nickelback and Queensryche within the first few minutes and thought this is it! Then when they played Limp Bizkit and Rob Zombie, I couldn't tune out fast enough. I like Hard Rock but not that hard! Next I tried "Channel 46 Top Tracks" described by XM as Classic Rock, with the tag "Songs the critics hate, but you love". The playlist included an endless number of Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers and CSNY songs – a bit too soft, and to be honest, too boring for me. So I continued to flip, becoming more and more frustrated that I could not find programming I like.
Maybe it was unrealistic to expect to find a station with the exact format I wanted on XM. After eight weeks with the service I have discovered that I enjoy listening to a few different channels but do not have a favorite. I rarely flipped around the dial of my FM radio. I accept commercials as a necessary evil and simply pop in a cassette if the music being played is not what I want to hear. With XM, if I do not like what is being played, I flip until I find a style of music that fits my mood. For example, if I don't like what they are playing on "Boneyard" I can flip to "Unsigned" or "Fred" (Classic Alternative). When my kids are with me we listen to "Top 20 on 20", which offers a countdown of the top CHR songs. That is the XM programming advantage, you can find just about any kind of music you want with the touch of a button, without the clutter of traditional radio. I don't have to wait for the music to start after a commercial or DJ chatter to hear what they are playing.
Currently, I listen to my FM station everyday for local news, traffic and weather. With an hour and a half commute each way to work through densely populated Central New Jersey; local traffic reports are a necessity. The regional weather provided by "The Weather Channel" (XM Channel 125) is not specific enough to be useful to me. "USA Today" (XM Channel 121) provides constant news including world and national headlines – just no local reports and it is not summarized in less than two minutes. Finally, I have to admit that I miss some of the radio features I have come to enjoy, such as the Nine O'Clock Rock Block and the Rock Drill that can be heard on WDHA…things that are missing from the XM programming.
Although XM offers digital-quality sound with coast-to-coast coverage, I have a standard issue car stereo so I cannot really tell you the sound is better. But the reception is crystal clear most of my drive and through most of the area where I live. I have found that under certain overpasses on the freeway I lose the signal for a few seconds. This has also happened while at the drive-thru at the bank and in the back roads in the woods near my house. Places where you would expect to lose a satellite signal. With traditional FM I find I can lose the signal while at a traffic light, or when an eighteen-wheeler is next to me on the highway…things that don't happen with XM. The only other issue I have with the quality of the sound is that the volume is very low and I have to jack-up my radio to hear the music. On some channels the programming is definitely not as loud as the commercials and station identifiers.
Finally, people want to know if I plan to keep the subscription service to XM after the six-month trial is up. I am starting to enjoy the variety of channels provided by XM especially the commercial free channels. Originally, I did not think I would keep XM, but I am getting more comfortable with what it offers and enjoy it more each day. And since the initial investment is taken care of, $9.95 per month to continue the service is not out of my reach. So yes, I think I will keep the subscription, at least until the end of the year. From my perspective as a researcher the people who are most likely to want XM are those in smaller markets, truckers, and consumers who want the latest and greatest new toy for their car. Unless the installation price drops dramatically, the rest of us will probably continue to listen to our "terrestrial" radio stations.

May 3, 2011
The 2010 racing season at Wake County Speedway ended with Joe Heigl making a charge in the final few Dunn-Benson Ford Super Late Model events. Coming into 2011, it looked as though that trend was going to continue. Heigl took the pole, edging out Alex Fleming by just under a tenth of a second. Early on, Heigl would pull ahead of the competition, while Fleming and Kevin Floars fought behind him.
Kevin Floars found himself in position to take the lead from Joe Heigl, but crafty moves around lapped traffic allowed Heigl to keep the lead for the first 35 laps. Fleming would charge back, making a pass for the lead coming off turn 4 with 15 laps to go. From there it was clear sailing for the Raleigh native, winning the season opener and taking the points lead in the process. Floars would hang on to second place, with Charlie Stephenson, Joe Heigl and Curtis Simpkins rounding out the top five.
In the Harper's Grafix Limited Late Model division, former UCAR standout Robert Arch turned heads by sitting on the pole in his first ever Limited Late Model race. Hope turned to heartbreak, as Arch would spin on lap 1, though through some excellent car control Arch kept the car off the wall and was able to continue.
The 2010 Limited champion, Frankie Dominick Jr., took the lead early, but Will Roland would make a Lap 3 pass to take a lead that he would never relinquish. Dominick Jr. would make a late charge but it would prove to be too little. Dominick would settle for second while Robert Arch would rally for a third place finish.
Justin Jones dominated the 2010 racing season, and showed no signs of letting up in Wake County Speedway's Pro Modified division. Jones led from wire to wire while Todd Langdon and Dennis Capps battled for second behind him. Langdon faltered late, and Capps would take second, while Langdon held onto third.
In Citgo Mini-Mart Stock 4 Cylinder action, it appeared as though Jesse Duke was going to pick up where he left off in 2010. Duke would take the lead early, while Jeremy Ottaway kept in Duke's tire tracks. It looked as if Duke had the race won until a lap 23 caution for a crippled Ford Mustang would re-rack the field for a two lap shootout. Jeremy Ottaway took advantage of double-file restarts and a poor restart by Jesse Duke to take the lead with two to go. Duke did his best to move Ottaway out of the way, but Jeremy Ottaway would prove to be too tough, winning his first race at Wake County Speedway. Duke would settle for second, with Chris Crosby finishing third.
In Dirt Cheap Sand Rock & Mulch UCARs, former Late Model Stock driver Eric Winslow would take the lead from Jim Bounds on lap one and not look back, holding off a late-charging Chris Gault for second, while Kristin Gault finished third. In Mini Cups, Holden Haddock would slip by a ill-handling Nick Robinson car to win the first race of 2011, while Robinson and Will Bristle finished second and third.
Racing returns to Raleigh's bullring this Friday night with a full night of racing. In action will be the Super Late Models, Limited Late Models, Pro Modifieds, Stock 4 Cylinders, UCARs and Legends. Tickets are just $10, with kids from 6-11 $5 and children 5 and under free. For more information race to http://www.wakecountyspeedway.com.

MADISON, Wis. – With less than 50 days until the start of the 2013 Wisconsin football season, the preseason hype is starting to get hot and heavy. Included in that rite of summer is the announcement of the preseason watch lists for various national awards. As is usually the case, a number of Badgers find themselves in that conversation as July rolls on.
Senior linebacker Chris Borland, unquestionably one of the top returning defensive players in the country, is now on the preseason list for five different awards after the Lombardi and Butkus Awards announced their watch lists on Monday. Joining Borland on the Lombardi list was UW senior offensive lineman Ryan Groy. Groy was earlier a member of the Outland Trophy Watch List.
Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense or defense, who set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball, or linebackers who set up no farther than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage. The candidates earned a place on the preliminary watch list by earning All-American honors, being named to their respective all-conference teams or receiving 2013 pre-season honors.
Aaron Gibson (1998), Wendell Bryant (2000 and 2001), Erasmus James (2004) and Joe Thomas (2005 and 2006) have all been semifinalists for the award, with Gibson and James being named finalists. No Badger has ever won the Lombardi Award.
The Butkus Award watch list contains 51 candidates, honoring the now-retired professional jersey number of Dick Butkus, who is regarded by NFL Films as the best defensive player in football history. The selection panel is comprised of 51 coaches, evaluators and journalists. Semifinalists will be named Oct. 28, finalists Nov. 26, and the winner will be notified on or before Dec. 10. No Wisconsin player has ever been named a finalist for the Butkus Award.
2013 Award Watch Lists
• Lott IMPACT Trophy (defensive player of the year): Chris Borland
• Hornung Award (most versatile): Jared Abbrederis
• Maxwell Award (player of the year): James White
• Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year): Chris Borland
• John Mackey Award (best tight end): Jacob Pedersen
• Bronko Nagurski Trophy (defensive player of the year): Chris Borland
• Outland Trophy (best interior lineman): Ryan Groy
• Lombardi Award (college lineman of the year): Chris Borland & Ryan Groy
• Butkus Award (best linebacker): Chris Borland

His verdict: All the necessary tech and sleek design you need to amplify your Tablet 2 experience. You've just picked up that beautiful ThinkPad Tablet 2 and you are looking for accessories that add function without compromising style - you've come to the right place. Let's talk tech. Love your ThinkPad Tablet 2, but wish you could quickly attach a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and more for long work sessions? Look no further as the ThinkPad Tablet 2 Dock is your tablet's new best friend. The ThinkPad Tablet 2 Dock allows you to easily click in your tablet and gain access to multiple USB ports, high speed Ethernet, HDMI, and turbo charging. When you dock the tablet it is held in a landscape position allowing you to use it as a standard monitor. Plug in an extra monitor, wireless mouse, and wireless keyboard to the dock and you are set for hours of work. The ThinkPad Tablet 2 Dock makes it easy to work at your desk and then easily grab your tablet to rush down to the conference room. If you aren't ready to give up a physical keyboard then why should you? The ThinkPad Tablet 2 Bluetooth keyboard is a great companion for those users who need that tactile feedback. The ThinkPad Tablet 2 Bluetooth Keyboard has the same comfort level and supreme engineering as any... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/a-backpack-for-those-who-do Brandi Moyer 2013-01-18T18:39:35+00:00 Guest author Michael Archambault recently tested the new ThinkPad Ultralight Cases. His verdict: A perfect blend of style and comfort - Mission complete. If James Bond used a backpack, it would be the Lenovo ThinkPad Ultralight Backpack. This $99 backpack from Lenovo combines Military grade Kevlar and Ripstop along with Carbon Fiber to protect your system during any of your missions for queen and country. The ThinkPad Ultralight Backpack fits up to 14.1 inch notebooks and has enough room to hold your valuables. During my testing of the backpack I was initially worried it would be too small to hold all of my belongings, but I was strongly mistaken. I was able to fit my ThinkPad X1 Carbon, A/C power cord, wireless mouse, on-ear headphones, ThinkPad Tablet 2, and my portable gaming device neatly into the backpack without it being a tight fit. This backpack is a modern day Houdini, it only has four zippered areas, but each has immense storage space that doesn't even seem possible at first glance. The top zippered area has two padded areas, one for a laptop and one for a tablet. I have never seen a manufacturer design a backpack with a tablet in mind and quite frankly I am impressed that Lenovo included it. My Tablet no longer jumps around, but instead is neatly held in place. The top zippered area also includes area for charging cables. On the sides of the backpack are two large zippered storage areas that were able to... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/next-generation-docking Brandi Moyer 2012-10-05T17:24:16+00:00 Innovation in accessories is not lost on tech enthusiasts like guest author Michael Archambault, who recently test-drove the ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock. His verdict: This is NOT your parents' old-school docking station. The days when laptop docking required you to snap your machine into a bulky plastic connector are behind us with the launch of the Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock. Lenovo partnered with DisplayLink technologies to bring an innovative dock to the desks of DOers everywhere. The new ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock provides a fast and easy connection to all your laptop's accessories while keeping your desk open and neat. Let's take a dive in and see why this little beast is making such a splash. Design: The new ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock measures in at only 6.3in tall, 4in wide, and 3.4in deep; making it small enough to almost fit in the palm of your hand. The new Dock is also light, which makes it the most portable dock ever produced for the ThinkPad line. As soon as I took the device out of the box I was truly amazed at how much time went into the external design of the unit - it roared simplicity and sophistication. The device is made of a durable material that feels sturdy to the touch with a taper design that allows all of my USB and DVI cables to fit nicely into the back connectors while making the dock appear thin in the front. You really can't appreciate how beautiful the... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/tiny-accessories-are-a-big-deal Brandi Moyer 2012-07-03T13:05:26+00:00 As the most energy efficient ThinkCentre that is as slim as a golf ball, the new ThinkCentre Tiny has been big news lately. Despite its small form factor, it packs a lot of power. With all of this in mind, how could Tiny become an even bigger deal? Add accessories. I was able to get my hands on the accessories that will be available for Tiny this summer and I wanted to give you a glimpse into the offerings. The Product Manager has decided to push the message Mount it and Store it to highlight how these big deal accessories enhance the Tiny system. Mount it with the ThinkCentre Tiny Monitor Mounting Kit (0B47096). The kit mounts securely to both LT2323z and L2323p. This kit includes a VESA mount to hold the system in place; an L-Bracket to attach to the mount and monitor; a U-clip to secure the mount; and an Adapter cage. This option is available now. Mount it with the ThinkCentre Underdesk Mount. Here you have an option to increase desk space by mounting your Tiny under your desk. Note that the Underdesk mount (0B47097) will not be available until mid-August. Store it with the Storage Unit Kit (0A65637). The kit includes a storage unit – where you can add an additional HDD (0A65638) or DVD ROM (0A65640)/ DVD Burner (0A65639) – sold separately; USB Cable, and VESA mount.

House Bill 5 passes after hours of debate
Bill could change high school graduation requirements — There have been a lot of complaints about standarized testing and the burden that it puts on both students and teachers.
A bill that passed the Texas House of Representatives aims to move away from a 'one size fits all approach'.
They debated for eight hours Tuesday over House Public Education Chair Jimmie Don Aycock's proposed bill that would restructure how students are evaluated and change high school graduation requirements.
House Bill 5 now goes to the Senate. But what's in this bill that made for so much debate?
The bill reduces standardized testing from 15 times during a student's career to five. It would also give students a choice of 5 curriculum paths. Some lawmakers argue the bill is lowering standards by losing the requirement that students take Algebra II.
Aycock argues the opposite.
"I believe when you give children relevance, they will soar high; they will soar to greatness. This is about informed consent of parents and their children -- parental involvement. This is about good family decision that are approriate for every child in Texas."

EDA pledges $10,000 to local children's museum
The Children's Museum of Richmond is $10,000 closer to opening its Fredericksburg branch.
Fredericksburg's Economic Development Authority on Monday voted to give CMoR a $10,000 grant toward the costs of opening a branch in the city.
CMoR must sign a five-year lease in Fredericksburg to get the funds. Fredericksburg Economic Development Director Karen Hedelt said she is confident a lease will be signed, though it hasn't been yet.
CMoR has said it is looking for a 12,000-square-foot space in the city but hasn't disclosed where. The organization, which runs three Richmond-area branches, wants to open in Fredericksburg this coming April.
CMoR needs to raise about $620,000 to open its local branch, according to its grant application. The organization has received a financial commitment from a Fredericksburg-area resident for a lead fundraising gift in the six figures, as well as several other significant financial pledges from area residents, said CMoR President and CEO Karen Coltrane.
The EDA grant will help CMoR with "build out expenses to help outfit" an "older building" in the city, according to the grant application.
A feasibility study that CMoR conducted earlier this year showed that "Fredericksburg is in need of a children's museum" and would both benefit from and take pride in the facility, according to the grant application. The museum anticipates more than 140,000 visitors annually at the Fredericksburg branch.
The branch will be open 361 days a year from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. A full-time manager and multiple part-time employees including educators, sales associates and "birthday buddies" will be hired.
The local branch will contain "hands-on exhibits that inspire exploration and learning" for children ages 8 and under, according to the grant application. Like other CMoR locations, it will include an art studio, science exhibits, classrooms, a performing arts stage and a "Town Square" to inspire pretend play.
The EDA on Monday decided not to make a separate, $3,000 grant to help cover the costs of a Jan. 11 planned fundraising event for CMoR called "Twilight Carniball" at the Jepson Alumni Executive Center in Fredericksburg. Several EDA members worried that supporting a fundraising event, rather than one that specifically brings visitors to the city, would set a bad precedent.
On Monday, the EDA also approved three other grants:
- $8,000 to the local disAbility Resource Center for improvements to a building at 1501 Princess Anne St. that the organization bought last year from Rappahannock Goodwill Industries.
- $2,380 toward several downtown art-focused programs and events put on by Fredericksburg's Parks, Recreation, and Public Facilities Department.
- $475 for a "Civil War Drummer Boy" mural on a wall facing public parking at 909 Sophia St.

Taking the "EE!" out of committee work.
By Ron Gossen, ATMB
Grinding through Toastmasters' business, or for that matter business, often requires the collective efforts and brain power of a committee. Unfortunately, receiving the benefits of that committee work can be a nightmare. Dysfunctional committees invariably produce poor and sometimes untimely work, animosity between members and disharmony in the organization. So how do you build a committee that works effectively as a team?
Critical First Steps: Find Your Way
The difference between a group and a team is that a group is a collection of individuals, while a team is bound by a common goal. All teams are groups, but not all groups are teams.
The first step is to have a goal. "Let's create a committee," is often the first thought people have when a problem arises. Don't create a committee when a problem can be solved by an individual. If a committee needs to ask, "Why are we here?" it shouldn't be there.
Let's say you must accomplish something that can't be done by an individual – what then? Committee composition is important. The members should have the desire to achieve the task plus the knowledge, skills and abilities to get it done. Assigning people to a committee simply because they aren't busy enough is a bad idea. Assess potential committee members based on:
Regarding that last quality, understand that some people can contribute better by working alone rather than as part of a team. Use your organization's people for their strengths.
The final component of your committee's work is to strive for an outcome that everyone can agree on. As soon as the organization assigns goals to the committee leader, make sure they're communicated to the team and agreed to. Tell the leader, "Here's what we want to accomplish," then work backward with objectives, strategies, tactics, activities, timelines and assignments.
Five-Step Cycle of Committee Dynamics
There's a predictable process for committees or teams whose members don't know each other well. Understanding the process can save time, eliminate squabbling and promote productivity and harmony.
• Forming. The committee meets, outlines goals and processes, and begins building relationships while working through potential problems with structure and leadership.
• Storming. An inevitable period of turmoil. Questions arise about leadership, accountability and the goals. Members are uncomfortable as they learn that some can't be counted on, or the reverse – they try to do everything themselves.
• Norming. The team reaches an agreement on goals, committee form and format. This period is characterized by cooperation, mutual support and accord. Group norms are developed that allow the team to compensate for the weaknesses of individual members.
• Performing. This is a period of accomplishment, achievement, productivity and pride as the committee works together and reaches its goals.
• Adjourning. The committee members address their mixed feelings of accomplishment and loss as the team achieves its goals. Success ultimately means that the team members must go their separate ways.
Tips for Leading Effective Committees
A leader's role in a committee has a huge effect on whether the committee's work is useful. A leader who monopolizes discussions and demeans others' opinions won't receive the benefit of the others' thoughts. It's far better to encourage input, delay criticism and create an environment that nurtures open expression.
Here are a few tips to achieve effective dialogue and committee work:
Love them or hate them, committees are a reality in civic organizations and the workplace. When they're called for, committees are valuable. It's up to team members and their chairperson to use the process most efficiently, keeping the interest of the organization and the participants in mind. If the leaders understand how to get committee members to buy into the five-step cycle, they are well on their way to achieving even the most challenging of goals.

A Scott man is in the Lafayette Parish Jail after he was allegedly caught committing a lewd act while watching three children through a window. Deputies say a woman inside the house saw 43-year-old Patrick Anderson looking through a window in the 4100 block of Landry Road while she was taking a bath. That lady then walked outside and found Anderson outside her children's window. Anderson, who is convicted as a sex offender, is being held on $25,000 bond.

Pablo Francisco is best known for his television work, which includes a stint as a featured player on MADtv, work on the terminally unfunny Mind of Mencia and his take on the late movie-trailer voiceover guy on the impression-fueled Frank TV. But his brand of comedy is probably best experienced in a club setting. For one thing, it gets pretty blue. Riffs on the difference between dirty talk from young people ("Take it, you bitch!" versus "Take it, you nincompoop! You blockhead!") will lead into a tangential impression of Mr. Magoo during sex. Also, nightlife provides much of his material, like strip-club observations and a story about taking too much ecstasy at a Miami club and trying to drive home.

|Green scores 20 as BU holds off Stony Brook, 64-59
VESTAL, N.Y. - Senior guard Anthony Green (Philadelphia, Pa./International) scored a game-high 20 points and Binghamton (7-6, 2-1 America East) hit seven free throws in the final 2:37 to hold off visiting Stony Brook (5-8, 0-3 AE), 64-59 Saturday afternoon.
Green scored 15 points in the first half, as BU built a nine-point margin. Late in the second half, BU extended that margin to 13 before the Seawolves mounted a rally. Trailing 53-40 with 6:57 remaining, Stony Brook went on a 13-4 run that cut the deficit to four. After the teams traded points on four straight possessions, junior forward Jairus McCollum (Mt. Holly, N.J.,/Rancocas Valley) hit a jumper that pulled the Seawolves to within three, 62-59, with 23 seconds remaining. Sophomore forward Billy Williams (Milwaukee, Wis.) made a pair of free throws with 16 seconds left for the final margin.
"It was a good basketball game," BU head coach Al Walker said. "We hung tough - it was good to get a win when they forced us to make plays down the stretch. Anthony and Billy did a great job at the free throw line."
Senior forward Jeffrey St. Fort (Miami, Fla./Monsignor Pace) scored 11 of his 13 points in the pivotal second half. Senior guard Charles Baker (Missouri City, Texas/Westbury Christian) scored 11 points, and seven-foot sophomore center Nick Billings (Kodiak, Alaska) added seven rebounds and six blocks.
Stony Brook was led by junior guard D.J. Munir (Providence, R.I./Bridgton Academy), who netted 17 points.
Binghamton next hosts conference foe Hartford Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Republican Party of Fla. chairman resigns
Channel 4 received a copy of Republican Party of Florida Chairman Lenny Curry's resignation letter Thursday night. The letter informs the Republican Party of Florida that Curry is resigning from his post as chairman effective May 31.
Curry wrote, "In recent weeks, a number of my friends and neighbors in Jacksonville have encouraged me to consider a run for mayor. Jacksonville is not just my home, it is a place of great opportunity; a place where I have made my dreams come true. I feel obligated to give myself the time to fully consider and explore how to serve this community I care for so deeply."
Curry also looks toward the future in his letter, stating that the Republican Party's successes will only continue.
"Our successes reflect on the tremendous team we have in place, led by Governor Scott, Attorney General Bondi, CFO Atwater and Commissioner Putnam. We are well positioned moving into the 2014 elections."
Curry closes his letter by saying that he is confident in the Republican Party of Florida.
"(It will) continue on this same path and in November, we will celebrate a resounding victory for Rick Scott, our cabinet, and growing majorities for our House and Senate Chambers."
Channel 4's Kent Justice requested an interview with Curry on Thursday to discuss his resignation, but the chairman said he is not doing interviews at this time.
RPOF executive director Juston Johnson sent this statement in response to Curry's resignation letter:
"The Republican Party of Florida thanks Chairman Curry for his leadership and service to the party. We wish him well in his future endeavors," said Johnson.

Governor Seeks Follow-Through on Suit
The Wyoming Attorney General has filed a motion to continue the lawsuit over wolf management in Wyoming. Last week the plaintiffs filed a "Notice of Voluntary Dismissal." This, if not challenged, would leave only the Court in Washington, DC to hear the challenge over Wyoming's wolves. Governor Matt Mead saysas this is a matter of considerable local interest, he believes the suit should be heard close to the Wyoming's citizens. In his official statement, Mead says, "Sometimes the party that files a lawsuit must finish what they started. This is one of those times." The State of Wyoming is asking the Court to set aside the "Notice of Voluntary Dismissal" and give all of the parties in the suit a chance to respond.

I got to have some Starbucks (which I am trying to have only as a treat these days) and chat with Michele. Hopefully I have found a new gym partner!
We spent a couple of hours there then it was time to say good-bye. Came home and watched Wall Street II with my DH – I LOVED the first movie and thought the second one was good too but could see it getting bad reviews if you hadn't seen the first one.
Then bed time ahhhhh sweet sleep!

Power And Speed On Display On SundayPosted by on February 28, 2010 – 4:36 pm
Sunday was not a day of rest for the players participating in the NFL Scouting Combine. A few of the position groups are putting up some impressive numbers.
Look on this page and you'll see some blazing 40-yard dash times, including a 4.28 mark by WR Jacoby Ford and 4.35 and 4.37 performances from RBs Jahvid Best and C.J. Spiller.
As speedy as some of those times are, the performances from D-linemen in the bench press were just as strong. Frank Tydach of NFL.com called the DL bench pressing session the most entertaining 2-hour session of the Combine.
Georgia DT Jeff Owens put up 44 reps of the 225-pound bench and Tydach says that worked the rest of the room into a frenzy. Also putting up impressive numbers were Mammoth East Carolina DT Linval Joseph (39 reps) and Georgia DT Geno Atkins and UCLA DT Brian Price with 34 each.

Decker At Combine, But Unable To WorkoutPosted by on February 28, 2010 – 3:54 pm
Coaches and scouts – as well as those of you who are observing NFL Network's TV coverage – are watching QBs, RBs and WRs go through their on-field workouts today at Lucas Oil Stadium.
But for Minnesota football fans it might feel as if something is missing – and it is. Golden Gopher's WR Eric Decker is not working out because of a foot injury he sustained during the 2009 season.
Decker had one surgery already on the foot and he'll undergo another one on March 15; he said he'll be ready to hit the field for whichever team drafts him by June.
Speaking of the draft, how is the injury and his inability to workout for teams before the draft going to affect his standing with teams? That's yet to be determined, but Decker seems comfortable with how things will play out.
"Unfortunately, I can't run and compete with these guys," Decker told Frank Tadych of NFL.com. "But my mindset is to go in there and sell my character, sell the smarts on the field and the consistency I've had over the last four seasons."
I wasn't able to catch up with Decker down in Indianapolis because his media session was right around the time Vikings VP of Player Personnel Rick Spielman was meeting with Twin Cities reporters. But NFL.com caught up with him and you can watch the interview by clicking here.

vikings.com Back In MN, But The Combine ContinuesPosted by on February 28, 2010 – 9:40 am
I've arrived back home after 4 complete days at the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine. And although vikings.com is back in Minnesota, our coverage of the event continues. We'll be monitoring NFL Network and other sources for news developments and results from Indianapolis and across the NFL.
This is Day 5 of the Combine, and here is the schedule…
–Groups 1-3 (kickers, specialists and TEs) have gone home
— Groups 4-6 (QBs, WRs and RBs) have on-field workouts
–Groups 7-9 (DL and LBs) have an NFLPA meeting and then will go through psychological testing and team meetings
— Groups 10-11 (DBs) have measurements, medical exams, media sessions, psychological testing and team interviews.
The last 4 days have been very active in Indianapolis, with so much going on in the media center and with important facets – medical exams, player media sessions and team meetings – of the Combine taking place. But the next few days will be fun, too, because the skill positions players will get out on the field and compete with one another.
Be sure to stay tuned to vikings.com and the vikings.com Blog for more updates throughout the Combine…

Observations From On-Field Workouts On Day 4Posted by on February 27, 2010 – 2:07 pm
Groups 1-3 have concluded their on-field workouts on Saturday and there are several players and even a position group that stood out among observers. NFL personnel guru Gil Brandt penned a blog entry on NFL.com suggesting that this year's class of offensive linemen might be the best ever.
Brandt cites an uncanny combination of size and speed – as well as the fact that 26 of 26 players worked out – as reasons he deemed this group's performance so far at the Combine as "sensational."
"If you can't find an offensive lineman in this draft," Brandt says, "you might never do it."
A few TEs impressed as well, most notably Pitt's Dorin Dickerson (4.4 forty-yard dash) and of course Oklahoma's Jermaine Gresham (widely considered the best TE prospect in the class). But Miami's Jimmy Graham, who ran a 4.56 dash, and Oregon's Ed Dickson, who ran a 4.67, may also be catching the attention of teams as well.
Last, but certainly not least, a couple of individuals put up sensational numbers during their workouts today. They were Maryland OT Bruce Campbell and LSU returner Trindon Holliday. Campbell, who stands at 6-6, 314 pounds, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.85 seconds and then bench pressed 225 pounds 34 times. Holliday was impressive as well, registering a 40 time of 4.32 seconds.
Today was interesting for me because it was the first day of on-field workouts and I spent a couple of hours inside the stadium observing, rather than hunkering down in the media center with the coaches, GMs and players. I was up in the Vikings suite for a while (every NFL team has a suite at this event) watching the OL and TEs go through the 40-yard dash and position specific drills. I also stood and watched the NFL Network Total Access crew of host Rich Eisen and analysts Charles Davis, Jamie Dukes and Mike Mayock do their thing as they carried live coverage of the Combine.
Tonight I'll be swinging by the Vikings team interview room to check out how things operate while teams are interviewing the players. I won't be able to share any details from those meetings but I'm looking forward to the experience.
That's it for now on Day 4, but be sure to stick with vikings.com for comprehensive coverage of the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine.

Keep Up With Workout ResultsPosted by on February 27, 2010 – 10:48 am
On-field workouts and drills (aka the 40-yard dash, vertical leap, broad jump, etc.) have begun in earnest at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
The results come in so fast and so many of you ask me about so many different players that I think the best way for you to keep track of how individual players do in certain drills is to access this page on NFL.com. Check out the tabs at the top of the page to get the information you want.
But don't spend all of your time there. Be sure to come back here for update throughout the Combine.

NFL Network's Mayock Explains The WorkoutsPosted by on February 27, 2010 – 9:45 am
As we mentioned in our previous post, on-field workouts begin at the NFL Scouting Combine today. This means that today marks the day where you'll see highlights of players running the 40-yard dash, 3-cone drill, position specific exercises, broad jump, high jump, etc.
So, what exactly are these drills and which drills are important to which positions? NFL Network's draft expert – and Vikings preseason TV analyst – Mike Mayock has the answers.
Clicking this link will direct you to a page on NFL.com that features Mayock going through each workout drill and position specific drill with a concise but detailed explanation.

Day 4 At Combine BeginsPosted by on February 27, 2010 – 8:04 am
It's already Day 4 here at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and it's also the last full day I'll be here taking in all of the action. But don't worry, vikings.com will continue its coverage of the Combine through the event's conclusion on Tuesday.
Day 4 marks the arrivals of the final groups of players – Groups 10 and 11 – which consist of DBs. These players will travel to Indianapolis today, go through registration, have hospital pre-exams and x-rays, orientation and then team interviews. Here's what the other groups of players will be doing…
Groups 1-3 (kickers, specialists and TEs): on-field workouts and then departure
Groups 4-6 (QBs, WRs and RBs): NFLPA meeting, psychological testing, team interviews
Groups 7-9 (DL and LBs): measurements, medical exams, media sessions, psychological testing, team interviews
As you can see, we'll have our first set of on-field workouts today as Groups 1-3 get out on the Lucas Oil Stadium field. That is exciting. I'll also be sure to keep my eye on the media room as players and NFL head coaches and GMs make their way through to speak with reporters.
That's it for now, but be sure to keep checking back here all weekend for updates…

Spielman Talks TebowPosted by on February 26, 2010 – 4:05 pm
Much speculation has gone into the Vikings current QB situation and it's centered on one burning question: Will Brett Favre return?
If not, are the Vikings to turn to Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels? Another option that many NFL analysts have suggested is to draft a QB. All of these mixed feelings about the Vikings QB position have not escaped the media's repertoire of questions for Vikings personnel at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress on Friday reiterated the team's stance on allowing Favre time to make a decision on his future with the team, as Mike touched on earlier. In the meantime, both Childress and Vikings VP of Player Personnel Rick Spielman cited the fluidness of NFL business as reasons they hesitated to give firm commitments to what the team would do should Favre not return.
"I don't want to get into what we're committed to and what we're not committed to because I think this time of year everything is in flux, everything is etched in oatmeal," Spielman said on Thursday.
Getting back to the option of selecting a QB in this year's Draft, Spielman was asked about his feelings on Florida QB Tim Tebow, who is currently going through the process of changing his mechanics to better fit the style of a pro-level QB.
"I don't think there's any question about heart, leadership, character, football player, all that stuff," Spielman said of Tebow. "This (changing his mechanics) is all kind of un-chartered territory. Whatever hiccups people have… you read about his 'mechanical flaws,' if you want to put it that way, you're going to go and see if they are correctable and if they do fit in potentially what a team is looking for in a quarterback."
Tebow has received a lot of criticism for his poor performance at this year's Senior Bowl and for his lack of skill as a 'drop-back' passer. Also, NFL scouts will not be able to see Tebow's newly-refined mechanics this weekend because he has withdrawn from the throwing activities at the Combine. He is saving the big reveal for his Pro Day at the University of Florida on March 17.
I believe that Spielman hit this matter right on the button. You need to see if his 'flaws' are correctable and if they fit into what a team is looking for in a QB. At this point it's hard to gauge whether or not Tebow would fit the Vikings scheme, but it will be interesting to watch Tebow's draft stock as a result of him not participating in the throwing activities at the Combine.

Childress Talks Favre And LimestonePosted by on February 26, 2010 – 2:58 pm
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress echoed the same sentiment that Vikings VP of Player Personnel Rick Spielman had on Thursday regarding the question of whether QB Brett Favre will return to the team in 2010.
Just as Spielman communicated on Thursday, Childress says he's received no indication one way or the other from the QB and Childress also didn't seem fixed on applying any sort of time line or deadline for a decision.
"I just think it's important to manage a guy's resources, particularly a 40 or a 41-year old, and there's really not a manual on that," Childress said. "You have to be able to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in this business, whether you're a player or a coach, and deal with it well. I think our players get that, understand that. I think they'll be fine."
Childress said he spoke with Favre twice earlier this week – on Monday and Tuesday – and that those conversations ranged from football issues to family matters.
"He was more fixated on getting some crushed limestone down on the road to his mother-in-law's house on his property," a grinning but honest Childress said. "They have a water issue down there. I think he's got other things on his mind right now and certainly I couldn't give him any landscape architecture ideas or anything."
While Childress declined to get into more specifics of his conversations with the QB, he did say that he won't be surprised either way on Favre's decision for 2010.
