What transmitter are you using? |
tried over 3 ft, no change. this is a new model rx for me. I have AR7000, 6110 and some 6100 and the binding process was pretty quick and easy.
I was concerned that this one has that long antennae to likely increase sensitivity and that might require further distance. tim |
None of this should make any difference to binding. Either there's a problem with how you are doing it (which doesn't seem likely as you haven't had problems with binding previously) or you have a defective receiver (also, you might just check the transmitter by re-binding one of your other receivers). It looks as though you should get in touch with Horizon Hobby Service Department. By the way, the 3-foot distance has always been a recommendation of Spektrum and applies equally to all receivers. In fact, I find that most of the time they bind OK at closer distances, but once in a while binding is delayed or prevented by close proximity. The same is true of subsequent link-up -- having the Tx very close may cause problems. |
here is the sequence I used which worked ok on the 6100 and all my other radios.
flight pack off, tx off. power flight pack with bind plug in the bind location, power tx with bind switch depressed. observe rx blinking. wait. expect blink rate to increase, never happens. blinks for over 60 seconds no change. no joy. |
The initial Rx blinking does not depend on the transmitter. And it should be rapid (it will not increase). Simply power up the Rx with the bind plug in place. It should immediately start blinking rapidly. If it doesn't you have a receiver problem (or a plug in backwards, etc.). If it does, the Rx should be receptive to a Tx in bind mode. So now (and not before) press bind button and power up Tx. Hold the button until the Rx flashing stops and light goes solid (you can release somewhat earlier, but it does no harm to keep holding). You now have bind. Note that there is a different kind of blinking caused by the receiver having lost power and being re-powered without the Tx turned off (brownout warning). It will go on forever (or until you turn everything off and start again). The Tx must be turned off whenever the Rx is turned off if you are to avoid this blinking. It's slower than the bind mode blink. When the receiver was blinking for 60 seconds plus, did you have a servo plugged in and try control? The power warning blink does not prevent the radio working. |
agreed, rx blinking was at rx power up. at this time tx was off, then I turned tx on with bind switch depressed.
on all my other rx binding, there was always a change in the rx blink rate when the tx with bind button depressed was powered up. not so in the case of the AR600 for me during multiple attempts. in all cases after long no bind condition, I powered both down and waited several seconds before trying again. since the 6100 came up first time using same method, I'm thinking the AR600 itself. I bought it at a local spektrum distributor and will take it by there tomorrow at lunch. might just go with a 6200 and pay the extra $20 if they will take this one back. i guess it's conceivable that there was residual charge in the BEC after unplugging the battery that made it think it was a brown out and not a full power up. I tried it in two different sessions though with multiple times each session. |
We had other new 6250's in the same batch and they all bound fine. Since you have tried the other suggestions, it is starting to look like it is a bad receiver. Charlie |
Take your transmitter with you and get a new AR600. Get them to demonstrate that it binds correctly. |
I went back to my local hobby shop to get some help or a new receiver.
Initially they had the same trouble using their DX7se. then took another one off the shelf which acted similarly. Perry figured that two bad ones in a row is very strange so he started to get the horizon hobby guys on the phone and while he was waiting continued to fiddle with the new rx. eventually the nature of the failure changed to an immediate solid led. continued fiddling, then it bound ok and he hung up the call to tech support. I tried it on my tx and same good binding occurred. So he gave me that one. he continued to fiddle with my old rx and then it started working as well. so he put it back on the shelf. tim |
Glad to hear you got a working receiver. But curious to know what sort of "fiddling" brought about the success. Spektrum systems are generally highly predictable in their behavior and don't need special treatment, just the correct procedure.
Do a standard ground range test and if all goes well, get flying! |

Because water is the most presious commodity, without water you can die very fast. Water will be worth more than a tone of gold. People forget that the most presious things are the most simple things like water and food.
Part of the problem that water is scarce is that there will be no one to run the water facilities. Remember government is the one that makes that happen, so when government is no longer there who you think is going to do it.

Real wealth is in 6 objects which I going to mention:

This group provides audit, tax, financial advisory and consulting services to commercial aerospace, military aircraft, defense electronics, missile defense, land and naval platforms and space companies, along with their suppliers, investors and customers.
In his new role, Captain will provide industry specialization to client teams and spearhead initiatives to enhance Deloitte's position in the marketplace. He specializes in strategy, operational improvements, product development and program management across multiple functions.
"Over the past few years, A&D industry growth has been fueled by the global war on terrorism and the recovery in commercial aircraft," said Captain.

Caribou Coffee Brews Social Media Crisis
Caribou Coffee's announcement last week, that the company was shuttering stores and laying off employees, proves that relying exclusively on a press release to deliver unpleasant news is a bad strategy in the digital age.
I'm not saying press releases aren't important. But in the age of Facebook, Twitter and other social media, I am saying they're not enough.
In case you missed it, German-owned Caribou announced on Apr. 8 that it would be closing 80 of its stores and rebranding an additional 88 others as Peet's Coffee & Tea.
That same day — seemingly as though everything was business as usual — Caribou Coffee posted a status update about its new Bistro Bagel breakfast sandwich to its Facebook Page provoking a rash of bitter feedback. Customers and employees posted comments "roasting" the brand for its insensitivity, for deleting comments critical of its plan to close stores and for giving its employees only one week's notice to find new jobs.
Caribou's Facebook administrator tried to manage the backlash by removing the snarky comments, but the company's critics apparently had greater stamina. A week later, the page is littered with defamatory remarks and sad goodbyes from customers whose preferred brand of morning Joe was being taken away from them.
We'll never know for sure why Caribou showed such poor judgment in how it managed the fallout from its store-closing announcement. Perhaps the company missed the bus to the digital future and still thinks it can control the message.
More likely, it was a failure of Caribou's management.
"Good communications come from solid leadership and training," says Greg Reeder, an executive at DC Media Group, who will deliver learnings such as these as part of a panel on crisis communications at the PRSA Digital Impact Conference, June 7-8, 2013, in New York.
Reeder agrees that there are three important lessons that public relations professionals can take away from Caribou Coffee's mishandling of its store-closing announcement.
1. Do What You Say, Say What You Do.
Any gap between what a company says and what it does is riskier than ever. On its Web site, Caribou claims to have a corporate culture that's committed to listening, developing and recognizing their team members, but by terminating hundreds of employees with one week's notice, the company's actions proved otherwise.
2. Communications Should be Multi Channel
It may be naive to think that there's any "nice" way to communicate job losses. However, making public disclosures of this nature exclusively through top-down, asymmetric, "command-and-control" type communications is a poor choice. A smarter choice would have been to make the announcement through employees who could provide context and show empathy. Remember, too, that people trust employees more than executive leaders. In a multichannel universe, communications should be distributed simultaneously through as many avenues as possible.
3. Social Media is a Team Sport
While communicating to and through employees provides benefits in terms of engagement, reach and trust, it still requires social media literacy and social media compliance. Social media policies are necessary, but not sufficient to promote social media literacy. Very few employees take the time to read a social media policy. And if they do, fewer actually understand what they mean. The objective of a good social media policy is not censorship or message control; rather, it is to train and teach employees key concepts, "how-to" mechanics and best practices, such as disclosure, transparency, respect, diplomacy and penalties.
Social media policy without applied social media training is like a flashlight without batteries. I'm not talking about social media training for public relations and corporate communications professionals. I'm talking about social media training for the entire enterprise.
"Nowadays, maximum disclosure with minimum delay means communicating more broadly through your employee base online," continues Reeder, who was previously a colonel with the Marine Corps. "In the age of Facebook and Twitter, our aim was to ensure every Marine was trained in social media communications."
Social media training the whole company may sound cost prohibitive. But e-learning is changing all that. My company, ComplySocially, has developed e-learning courseware to social media train employees on-demand via laptop or mobile. We even have an online course on how to draft social media policies.
Looking back in hindsight, what should Caribou have done differently? First, it could have given its employees more advance notice. Second, it could have involved its employees in the announcement. And finally, it could have made severance payments contingent on social media policy compliance, assuming it has a social media policy and has conducted social media training.
Granted, there's always going to be some kind of negative backlash when jobs are lost. But if you learn from Caribou's mistakes, the backlash is far less likely to spiral out of control.

I don't think companies nowadays need social media training , all they need is Ethicial training and general curtosy. Most of the big cooprates have a huge list of comapny's core values but their culture doesn't necessarly reflects that.
Companies should connect with their emplyees at at a deeper level, they should hold weekly emotional check-ins, and alternating bi-weekly team workouts. Also, they should do more than just listen and learn how to listen and then follow up. Only then can employees see that they are being taken seriously and their opinions count.
It's pretty basic. Happy employees lead to happy customers, which leads to higher sales and profit. -

Specious arguments like these are the reason in a couple years more and more companies will have gone the route Charter Cable and a couple others have and get off social media. Caribou was promoting a sandwich for God's sake - like all you gurus told them to do 3 years ago - and now the rules have changed to "NO PROMOS until you have washed and aired ALL your dirty corporate underwear."
Apr 26 Posted 1 year ago
Good discussion, I agree with most points above. With my experience of dealing with change communications both from inside organizations and as a consultant, I firmly believe that actions are the strongest message. In this case, the problem is the disconnect betwen values and actions when executing a restructuring. You simply have to live as you preach, otherwise you'll get hammered in social media.
I'm often challenging communications executives in organisations not to take their company's planned actions as given, but to put up a fight to change the plans if needed. Obviously, this is not always possible, but it's a position worth taking if you want to avoid crises like the one above.
In the world of social media, it's increasinlgy difficult to window dress bad decisions or make negative comments disappear.
Apr 22 Posted 1 year ago
I agree that there is a genuine disconnect in Caribou's Marketing and PR departments with the rest of the business. At best their Facebook page activity shows that disconnect, at worst it identifies a managment style and attitude that doesn't have regard or respect for the front line workers serving the customers.
What I don't understand from this article is the point about making sure all employees have social media training. At first I assumed the author meant training for public relations and corporate communications professionals but the author then went on to clarify that he means for the entire enterprise. What, exactly, would that have accomplished in this case? The example post is from an employee losing his or her job in a week. What would training have done to prevent the post? Generally, social media policies and training emphasize what employees can and cannot post on social media regarding their place of employment however the usual mechanism for enforcing said policies is threat of termination. For some reason I really don't see that being that big a stick under these circumstances.
If there were any failings with regards to Caribou's social media policies I would suggest it was at the corporate communication professional level. At the very least they should understand that news that has a negative impact on their employees should be delivered in advance of any public announcments to ensure that the employees themselves don't learn of the changes via social media. (Not saying this happened extensively but given the size of the organization, I would be highly surprised if it didn't happen for some employees.) -
Apr 21 Posted 1 year ago
Points well taken. This shows a disconnect between marketing a product and communication with clients. Did anyone connect the company's actions (closing stores and layoffs) with "business as usual" attitude. It's two separate messages going out from same source. Specialty coffee houses usually have a more socially savvy clientele. The perceived (and actual) insensitivity of the corporation in store closings and layofffs (in a still struggling economy) overwhelmed the news aboout a new product. Does anyone in marketing talk to one another? Did management oversee the end product message ? My observation is a disorganized company, not someone I would patronize. There are other coffee vendors after all.It looks like the social media work was farmed out and no one bothered to see that the message ws coordinated to what was going on. Genuine disconnect.

- John Sickels of Minor League Ball looked at interesting high school hitters in the 2010 draft. Sickels portioned out the goodness in two parts: part one and part two.
- Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post spoke to Larry Beinfest, Marlins' baseball operations president, who doesn't sound as though he's in a rush to call up Mike Stanton.
- Rather than place Jesus Colome on waivers, the Mariners optioned Shawn Kelley to Triple-A Tacoma to make room for Cliff Lee. M's manager Don Wakamatsu told Ryan Divish of The News Tribune (via Twitter) that there was "not a chance" that Colome could have cleared waivers.
- The Indians have called up righty Hector Ambriz, whom they selected from Arizona in the Rule 5 draft, writes Dennis Manoloff of The Plain Dealer. The Tribe had until May 8th, the end of his rehab assignment, to decide what to do with him.
- Brewers catching prospect Angel Salome will be given additional time off following the birth of his child, writes Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel.

Heyman On Fielder, Pujols, Adrian
Some tidbits from Jon Heyman on the early edition of MLB Tonight on the MLB Network,..
- Heyman doesn't envision the Brewers getting a deal done with Prince Fielder. While he was complimentary towards club owner Mark Attanasio, he doesn't see Milwaukee ponying up the $25MM a year that it will likely take to hang on to him. This means that they'll have to trade him at the end of next year or let walk as a free agent.
- Meanwhile, he believes that Albert Pujols is now in line to receive a contract worth $30MM per season, perhaps up to eight years. The two sides tabled negotiations in March but will resume after the season.
- Even though the Padres are currently in first place in the NL West, Heyman believes that the club will deal Adrian Gonzalez. Heyman says it's unlikely that San Diego will allow their payroll to balloon in great excess of $50MM and therefore a re-up of Gonzalez won't fit in the budget.

Wagner To Retire At Season's End
Braves closer Billy Wagner told manager Bobby Cox that he plans on retiring at the end of this season, writes Carroll Rogers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The lefty says that he will not play out his $6.5MM option for 2011 which automatically vests if he finishes 50 games.
Cox told Wagner that he believes that he still has the ability to play for a few more years, but the 38-year-old says that he wants to spend more time with his family. Wagner, who turns 39 in July, will earn $7MM this season.
The fireballer is sixth on the all-time saves list with 386 and wants to reach 400, but he's only going to give himself the rest of 2010 to get there.
The Latest On The Unsigned Relief Pitchers
After looking at the latest updates on the remaining unsigned starting pitchers and position players, we have one more group to examine: the relievers. Earlier in April, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes named some relief pitchers who could be dealt this season, and that list is certainly more intriguing than the current free agent market. But for teams looking to take an inexpensive gamble, there are a handful of recognizable, if not overly exciting, names available. Here are a few:
- Juan Cruz: After a disappointing stint in Kansas City, the 31-year-old was released by the Royals a week ago. Now that clubs won't have to assume the $3.25MM figure he's owed this season, the right-hander certainly looks more like a risk worth taking. In 2007 and 2008, Cruz appeared in 110 games for the Diamondbacks, posting a 2.88 ERA and striking out 12.6 batters per nine innings. It's unlikely he'd regain that form this year, but he could be a bargain at a league-minimum salary. The Diamondbacks don't appear interested in bringing him back though, and the Marlins, often willing to take on cheap bullpen reclamation projects, probably won't take the plunge either.
- Russ Ortiz: The veteran righty elected free agency last week after being designated for assignment by the Dodgers. Although he pitched poorly for Los Angeles this April, allowing eight runs in seven innings, his career numbers as a reliever (3.33 ERA over 78.1 IP) are respectable. While there hasn't been any reported interest in him yet and he won't be an integral part of anyone's bullpen, he'll probably be able to land a minor league contract soon.
- Russ Springer: We know Springer would like to pitch this year, preferably for the Cardinals, but we haven't heard much more than that lately. The right-hander was extremely effective in two seasons in St. Louis, posting a 2.24 ERA and 8.6 K/9 in 146 appearances in 2007 and 2008. His ERA rose to 4.11 last season, but his ratios were still excellent. Even at 41, Springer could be a worthy addition to quite a few bullpens around the league, but perhaps he's holding out for an offer from the Cards.
- David Weathers: Like Springer, Weathers was reasonably effective in 2009 (3.92 ERA), despite turning 40 last September. However, his peripherals declined and there hasn't been a whole lot of reported interest in the righty this spring. The last we heard, Weathers was still open to pitching this season for a contender, though he'll probably retire if the right situation doesn't arise.
Other familiar unsigned bullpen arms include left-handers Eddie Guardado, Glendon Rusch, and Jamie Walker. Check out our complete list here.
Wilfrido Perez Clears Waivers
FRIDAY, 2:41pm: According to a team press release, Perez has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Double-A Bowie.
TUESDAY, 2:25pm: The Orioles have designated reliever Wilfrido Perez for assignment, according to a press release. The move clears a roster spot for Alfredo Simon, whose contract the Orioles selected from Triple-A Norfolk.
The 25-year-old Perez has spent his entire career in Baltimore's system. Last season, he closed games for the Double-A Bowie Baysox, recording seven saves and a 1.37 ERA in 24 appearances. The left-hander has struck 11.1 batters per nine innings over the course of his minor league career, but is off to a slow start as the Baysox' closer this year, allowing six runs and 13 baserunners in just five innings.
Free Agent Slow Starts
Yesterday we looked at free agents off to hot starts; now it's time to do the opposite. Last year this list included Mark Teixeira and C.C. Sabathia, but also Oliver Perez and Pat Burrell.
- Rod Barajas, Mets. Not much was expected from Barajas in the OBP department, but a .194/.224/.355 line isn't going to cut it. Also, despite a three home run game and a .468 SLG, John Buck sits among the OBP trailers at .239. I liked the Gregg Zaun signing, but he's hitting just .220/.299/.288.
- Jerry Hairston Jr., Padres. Versatility doesn't mean much when you're hitting .231/.242/.246.
- Jonny Gomes, Reds. I liked this bargain signing, but Gomes isn't doing much at .214/.254/.375.
- Garrett Atkins, Orioles. He's losing playing time given a .238/.262/.302 start.
- Pedro Feliz, Astros. The left side of the Astros' infield is really struggling offensively. Infielders Orlando Cabrera, Jack Wilson, and Adam Kennedy are also excelling at making outs, while Mark DeRosa has shown no power.
- Nick Johnson, Yankees. Bizarre line for Johnson: .143/.385/.232. Even when nothing else is working, Johnson is second in MLB in walks. Chone Figgins has had a similar start.
- Ken Griffey Jr., Mariners. He's better than .226/.293/.245, but many opposed this signing from the start.
- Troy Glaus, Braves. He's at .200/.300/.300, and the Braves have to be pondering alternatives.
- Doug Davis, Brewers. He's basically allowed an earned run per inning so far.
- Todd Wellemeyer, Giants. The team's fifth starter has a 6.33 ERA through four starts.
- Trevor Hoffman, Brewers. Hoffman leads baseball with four blown saves; at some point the Brewers have to try someone else in the ninth inning.
- Jason Marquis, Nationals. He made three ugly starts and headed to the DL with an elbow injury.
- Rich Harden, Rangers. He leads baseball with 23 walks allowed.
- Vicente Padilla, Dodgers. He sports a 7.06 ERA and a forearm injury.
- John Grabow, Cubs. With a 7.04 ERA, Grabow hasn't been the setup man the Cubs envisioned. Brendan Donnelly, Octavio Dotel, and Bob Howry are also getting knocked around.
- Mike Gonzalez, Orioles. His terrible start led to a shoulder-related DL stint.
Dye Thinks He Could Help White Sox
The White Sox rank 11th in the American League with four runs scored per game. Their .309 OBP ranks 12th; their .390 SLG places 9th. Like most teams, the Sox have several players hitting above their ability (Paul Konerko, Andruw Jones), and several players below (Juan Pierre, Gordon Beckham, Alexei Ramirez, Carlos Quentin, A.J. Pierzynski). The Sox projected to have a below-average offense from the start, but if they just wait it out they'll improve on the current output.
Pierre has been particularly disappointing, as has the team's production from their DH rotation. Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times believes free agent Jermaine Dye could help, and Dye agrees. He wants to do more than just DH, potentially helping at outfield and first base. Dye also clarified recent rumors, saying the Cubs' $3MM offer wasn't formal and he spoke last to the Brewers. He added, "I'm not going to a bad team, and I'm not playing for $1.5 million."
It doesn't make sense for the Sox to bid much more than that, so money would be one issue. Manager Ozzie Guillen isn't sure where he'd put Dye, and thinks the player might need a month to be ready (Dye says two weeks). Whether or not there's a fit with the White Sox, Guillen wants to see Dye come back and play for a big league team.
2011 Contract Issues: Texas Rangers
The Rangers face three contractual options after the season:
- Reliever Darren Oliver has a $3.25MM club option with a $500K buyout. The salary becomes guaranteed with 59 appearances; Oliver is on track with ten so far.
- Rich Harden and Vladimir Guerrero have mutual options, at $11MM and $9MM respectively. These don't have much purpose, aside from pushing $2MM worth of buyouts to the offseason. Vlad's $1MM buyout disappears if he declines the option.
The Rangers have a pair of free agents in Frank Francisco and Matt Treanor. If they both leave, it'll free up around $4MM. They'll also clear $6.75MM in buyouts and obligations paid to Kevin Millwood, Frank Catalanotto, and Vicente Padilla. The Rangers will free up $12MM paid to Harden and Guerrero, less the $2MM in buyouts. All told, they have roughly $20MM coming off the books if everyone but Oliver leaves.
Increases to players under contract total $5.225MM, with Ian Kinsler, Scott Feldman, and Colby Lewis getting small bumps. First-time arbitration eligibles include Nelson Cruz, David Murphy, Darren O'Day, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Josh Hamilton, Dustin Nippert, and Ryan Garko are in the second-time group, while C.J. Wilson, Brandon McCarthy, and Chris Ray are eligible for a third time. There will be some decent raises in that mix, especially Cruz, Hamilton, and Wilson. Still, it appears the Rangers will have millions to spend even before raising payroll.

The Market For Chris Iannetta
Most of the attention this week went to the signing of Ryan Howard, but the strangest move may have been Colorado's decision to send Chris Iannetta to the minor leagues.
Iannetta, 27, had a tremendous 2008, hitting .264/.390/.505 in 407 plate appearances. His numbers dipped somewhat in 2009, falling to .228/.344/.460, but that was still good for an OPS+ of 103, which put him in the upper echelon of hitting catchers. The Rockies clearly thought highly of his future as well, signing him to a three-year, $8.35MM contract this winter, with a 2013 club option.
So why would the team send Iannetta down on the strength of 34 poor plate appearances? And what's more, they did so in favor of Miguel Olivo, who is nearly five years older and has never had a season that approached Iannetta's 2008. It boggles the mind.
But with Iannetta out of favor in Colorado, it is hard to imagine the Rockies wanting to spend $8.35MM over the next three years on their Triple-A catcher. So which teams should have the most interest in Iannetta?
- The Mets make a whole lot of sense as a landing spot. With Rod Barajas and Henry Blanco as the current major league catchers, the future is not planned for behind the plate with either one. Josh Thole is a promising catcher at Triple-A (though off to a slow start), but Iannetta projects to be the far better hitter than Thole, and hitting is Thole's ticket to the big leagues. And the Mets have the money to take a chance on Iannetta's long-term deal: even if he pans out as a backup, that salary doesn't kill them.
- The Red Sox could be a strong contender for Iannetta's services. Obviously, Jason Varitek doesn't figure to be on the roster for the long-term, and the throwing skills of Victor Martinez (just 2 of 29 base stealers thrown out) makes his future at catcher tenuous at best. Martinez is also a free agent after the season. The Red Sox can also afford to take on his salary, even as a backup; Varitek, the backup this season, makes $3MM. But as ESPN's Jayson Stark noted yesterday, the roster becomes a mess if the Sox add a catcher.
- The Royals have Wil Myers as their catcher of the future, but he's currently in Low A ball. Iannetta could bridge the gap, even with Jason Kendall signed through next year.
Of course, plenty of other teams could benefit from the addition of Iannetta. Whoever ends up with Iannetta, the only one likely to regret it is the team trading him.

Christian Black Metal act FROST LIKE ASHES were formed by vocalist Azahel and Adonijah in late 2001. The duo had previously played together in POSSESSION. Two demos were recorded as POSSESSION and a full length album entitled 'Eternally Haunt' which received great support by fans. Adonijah left the band and joined STEADFAST, a Hardcore band from Kansas City. They had the privalige of opening for renowned Hardcore act P.O.D. on the night they debuted their new album 'The Fundamental Elements Of South Town'.
Two and a half years of gigging and a full length album later, Adonijah decided he'd had enough and left STEADFAST. By now Azahel had also left POSSESSION and started FROST LIKE ASHES. He persuaded Adonijah to join and since FROST LIKE ASHES have appeared on the Dysmorphic Records compilation 'Screams Of Abbadon II'. The 2003 EP 'Pure As The Blood Covered Snow' featured a cover version of BLACK SABBATH's 'After Forever'. The 'Topheth' album arrived in June 2005.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.

Re: A legitimate "You Heard It Here First"
I've been wondering about the wisdom of taking an O-Lineman this high in the draft for a while now. Let me explain my position. In looking at the consisitently successful (playoff-caliber) teams it is very noteworthy that most, if not all, do NOT have high first round draft picks in the their starting O-line. If memory serves this includes the following teams: New England, Indy, San Diego, Pitt, Jax? (not sure on this one), Dallas, NY Giants, Green Bay (um..see note for Jax). I'll certainly grant you that playoff teams like Seattle and Tampa Bay do have first round picks in their lines, but they seem to be the minority at this point. I'm not sure if this is a legitimate trend or just an anomaly, but I think it bears some serious Clan-like discussions.
Also, while an Oher would be a great pickup, I can't help but wonder what a NE or Indy or some other perennial playoff team would do with a pick in the top five of the draft.

Re: A legitimate "You Heard It Here First"
From 2000, of the 30 Offensive linemen drafted only 7 haven't started for their teams, or have been huge busts (Robert Gallery, Mike Williams). That still gives you a 77% success rate at the position. Which I'm willing to bet the house, is better than other positions.
Is Drafting an Offensive Lineman in the First Round Overrated? | Bleacher Report
Further more there were 8 O-linemen drafted in the first year of this draft.
And 1999 it get's a little worse but uh, not every year has it's gems, Orlando Pace, Tarik Glenn, William Thomas were drafted first round.

Compellent, Microsoft Team on New SAN
Chris Preimesberger
Posted 2007-07-20
The new system automatically classifies data and assigns it to an appropriate tiered storage layer.
SAN provider Compellent Technologies July 15 introduced a new storage area network the company claims is the industry's only platform to extend block-level automated tiered storage to file management. Compellent's Storage Center SAN Version 3.6 with NAS (network-attached storage) features Compellent Data Progression, in which data is automatically classified and moved to the appropriate tier of storage, based on frequency of access.
Frequently accessed data is retained on high-performance storage drives, and infrequently accessed data is stored on lower-cost storage devices, which can significantly reduce power expenditures.
Storage Center with NAS also features rapid recovery, continuous system snapshots, automated tiered storage, thin provisioning and remote replication. Deployment is simplified by booting the diskless NAS system from the SAN using Compellent-provided setup tools. Compellent, based in Eden Prairie, Minn., teamed with longtime partner Microsoft to embed management and availability features in the NAS interface, including a virtual disk service for managing volumes on the SAN, multipath I/O to support failover to Fibre Channel or iSCSI connections, and a volume shadow service for consistent recovery points. Compellent worked with Microsoft to utilize the file-sharing features of Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 and use them inside Compellent's architecture to deliver a unified FC/iSCSI platform.

to read about Compellents addition of server management software to its storage software.
With its file deduplication ability, Storage Center with NAS stores only one copy of a file, even though several copies of the same file might exist. This can save more than 35 percent in disk space. The addition of NAS to Compellent's base product was necessary, given that rivals such as Network Appliance and EMC already have combined block and file storage products, storage analyst Henry Baltazar of The 451 Group told eWEEK. "Compellent initially had a partnership with NAS gateway vendor OnStor, but that deteriorated when OnStor started selling their Pantera storage systems, which combined Dot Hill storage systems with their NAS gateways," Baltazar said. "On the plus side, Microsoft Storage Server 2003 R2 provides Compellent with technologies such as Single Instance Storage (SIS) to optimize file storage. The interface should also be fairly easy to learn for Windows shops," he said. Making the NAS head diskless was a good move, Baltazar said, since it will allow customers to leverage Compellent's snapshot technology to quickly fix problems. "As far as weaknesses go, this product is a bolt-on. The management interfaces for file and block storage are still separate entities," Baltazar said.

The bottom line, Baltazar said, is, "This was a good and necessary move, but at the end of the day Compellent will still be known for its block storage and not as a major NAS player. The NAS gateway is best suited for block storage customers with some file requirements." Storage Center SAN Version 3.6 with NAS is available now through Compellent's international channel. Prices start at about $35,950. Adding a Compellent NAS platform to an existing Storage Center SAN starts at $9,995. Compellent NAS platforms with iSCSI will be available in early August.

Washington, D.C. Short-term exposure to smog, or ozone, is clearly linked to premature deaths that should be taken into account when measuring the health benefits of reducing air pollution, a National Academy of Sciences report concluded Tuesday.
The findings contradict arguments made by some White House officials that the connection between smog and premature death has not been shown sufficiently and that the number of saved lives should not be calculated in determining clean air benefits.
The report by a panel of the Academy's National Research Council says government agencies "should give little or no weight" to such arguments.
"The committee has concluded from its review of health-based evidence that short-term exposure to ambient ozone is likely to contribute to premature deaths," the 13-member panel said.

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA is projected to cross 220 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, according to an opinion poll. The survey also predicts about a poor performance by Congress and a better show by regional parties like Trinamool Congress and AIADMK.
The prediction also shows BJP getting 192-210 out of 543 Lok Sabha seats. The Congress has been shown to be getting 92-108 seats. The survey futher shows that Narendra Modi continues to be the top choice for the prime minister's post - much ahead of Rahul Gandhi. While 34 percent preferred Modi to be prime minister, only 15 percent supported Rahul. (Agencies) Latest News from India News Desk
While the survey predicts 211-231 Lok Sabha seats to BJP-led NDA, it gives only 107-127 seats to Congress-led UPA. Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress is projected to get 20-28 Lok Sabha seats. The survey shows Jayalalithaa's AIADMK getting 15-23 seats.
The Left is estimated to get only 15-23 seats. The survey gives 6-12 Lok Sabha seats to Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and also predicts about a dismal show by the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
According to the survey, Samajwadi Party is set to get only 8-14 seats and BSP 10-16 seats. In terms of poll percentage, the BJP is projected to get 34 percent voteshare, a 15.2 percent jump since 2009 Lok Sabha polls.
At the same time, the survey shows Congress getting 27 percent voteshare - a 1.6 percent decline since 2009.
According to the survey, in a direct face-off between Modi and Rahul, 42 percent prefer BJP's prime ministerial candidate and only 25 percent prefer Congress vice-president as PM.

text: NASA GRIP DC-8 Share on Facebook The NASA DC-8 is a four-engine jet transport that has been highly modified to support the Agency's science mission. The medium-altitude aircraft has a 148-foot wingspan and is 157 feet long. It can fly at altitudes from 1,000 to 42,000 feet for up to 12 hours, although most science missions average six to 10 hours. The aircraft has a range of 5,400 nautical miles and can carry 30,000 pounds of scientific instruments and equipment. NASA acquired the former commercial airliner in 1985. It was based at the Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., until late 1997 when it moved to the Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif.

By Cain Rodriguez | The Playlist March 12, 2014 at 9:22AM
Producer Matthew Vaughn and director Josh Trank have been doing everything in their power to distance their "Fantastic Four" reboot from the earlier goofy films. Not content with just casting great young actors as the famous superhero team, the filmmakers are looking to surprise with their villain choice too.
Played by TV actor Julian McMahon in the two Tim Story-helmed films, Dr. Doom (aka Victor von Doom) is the chief antagonist of the superheroic foursome and a genius in his own right. So which actor will don the armor and hood next? According to The Wrap, it's down to four: Sam Riley, Eddie Redmayne, Toby Kebbell and Domhnall Gleeson. Gleeson and Riley are both inspired choices in the same vein as rising talents Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller, with Redmayne in a similar position as Kate Mara and Jamie Bell, talented actors who've been in the game a while but are probably known to a certain extent. Meanwhile, Kebbell has been amassing roles in a few blockbusters already, with stints in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," "Wrath of the Titans" and a role in this year's "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," which is being released by 20th Century Fox, something that could help sway the decision.
But the casting process hasn't been easy, with certain pockets of die hard fans unable, or unwilling, to see any deviation from what they read as children, and are thus acting like children. And while Michael B. Jordan has faced some scrutiny about playing the Human Torch, mostly from unimaginative people, he's taking it all in stride.
"It was expected. You kinda know going into it that people are used to seeing something one way; it's a continuity thing more than anything. People don't like change too much. But annoyed? Eh, you just kinda accept it, it is what it is. You can't make everybody happy," he told press (via ComingSoon). "You just gotta accept that and know. I'm an actor, I have to do my job. I'm going to do my job the best I can and the way I've been doing it my entire life, my entire career. I grew up a comic book guy, I read comic books as a kid growing up, and the Fantastic Four/Human Torch is one of my favorite characters so I'm going to give it my everything. I can't wait. I don't really let it bother me at all. I just want to go into it and do the best job I can. We'll see what happens."
Meanwhile, in other comic-book movie news, a THR reporter tweeted that the latest director in the mix to helm the long-mooted "Doctor Strange" movie for Marvel is "Sinister" director Scott Derrickson. Since the property has supernatural overtones—psychic powers anyone?—it makes a certain kind of logic that a director known for horror would figure in somehow. This one's still a long way off, so don't expect a final decision anytime soon. Let us know who should direct the wonderfully bizarre "Doctor Strange" movie below.

The first set of Art Works grants from the NEA were announced this morning, and I'm incredibly giddy about the fact that Open Letter was awarded $45,000 for the following:
To support the publication and promotion of books in translation and the continuation of the translation website Three Percent. Works from Germany, Denmark, Bulgaria, Italy, Iceland, and Greece will be translated. The website features 50-70 book reviews per year; the Best Translated Book Awards; and posts on international awards, new works, opportunities for translators, the future and business of publishing, and book culture in general.
To make that a bit more specific, this grant will primarily support the publication and promotion of these five titles:
Two or Three Years Later by Ror Wolf, translated from the German by Jennifer Marquart;
This Is the Garden by Guilio Mozzi, translated from the Italian by Elizabeth Harris;
The Last Days of My Mother by Sölvi Björn Sigurðsson, translated from the Icelandic by Helga Soffía Einarsdóttir;
When We Leave Each Other by Henrik Nordbrandt, translated from the Danish by Patrick Phillips; and,
Why I Killed My Best Friend by Amanda Michalopoulou, translated from the Greek by Karen Emmerich.
We'll be posting more information about all these titles as they become available (the Nordbrant poems will be coming out first, in April as part of National Poetry Month), and posting excerpts, etc.
So far, this has been a great week for Open Letter . . . And I recommend checking out the full list of literary organizations receiving NEA funding—it's an absolutely stellar list of some of the best nonprofit lit orgs in the country.
Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .
The prolific Spanish author Benito Pérez Galdós wrote his short novel, Tristana, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a time when very few options were available to women of limited financial means who did not want a husband.. . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .

Many in the industry continue to wonder why both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exist. The two agencies have had historically different underwriting standards, processes for securitizing loans, and so on.
This chasm has become evident again with respect to the re-release and re-launch of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), a program dubbed HARP 2.0. HARP is the government-backed mortgage program for underwater homeowners.
Click here to get today's HARP mortgage rates.
Under the original HARP, first launched in 2009, underwater homeowners were limited to the program's maximum allowable loan-to-value (LTV). This kept homeowners in places like California, Arizona and Michigan, where home values had dropped sharply, from even being able to qualify.
So, with the new HARP, the government sought to open the program to a wider range of people.
One big change was to allow unlimited LTV on all HARP mortgages financed via a fixed-rate mortgage. The reformatted HARP 2.0 opened HARP-eligibility to homeowners who are deeply underwater.
Unfortunately, the HARP refinance program's first 30 days have been marred by complaints. Homeowners and lenders assert that Freddie Mac's electronic approval system won't allow "unlimited LTV" and that Freddie Mac is turning away scores of homeowners who should otherwise be HARP-eligible.
In response to complaints, Freddie Mac has said that it will "fine-tune" of its underwriting process, and help more HARP applicants get approved.
Meanwhile, Fannie Mae is receiving negative feedback, too, just at a much slower rate than Freddie.
