This stretch, the plan states, "will be transformational in creating a passenger rail nexus between one of the fastest growing regions in the state with the state's largest population center." This "initial operating section" would extend from Merced through Bakersfield and Palmdale to the San Fernando Valley, according to the business plan. The prior plan committed only to an "initial construction segment" — a set of train-less test tracks between north of Bakersfield and south of Merced (this segment was characterized by many critics as a "train to nowhere").

The revised business plan, which the California High-Speed Rail Authority's board of directors expects to discuss and approve on April 12, estimates the cost at $68.4 billion and departs in many key ways from the draft the agency released in November. The new plan commits to building the system through a "blended" design under which high-speed rail and Caltrain would share two tracks on the Peninsula. It also calls for early investment in the northern and southern segments (known as the "bookends") of the San Franciscoto-Los Angeles line, including the long-awaited electrification of Caltrain on the Peninsula. in this issue By Nick Veronin A MICHELLE LE ALL TOGETHER NOW Members of Ho'oku'i, a new outrigger canoe club, embark on their practice at Shoreline Lake on April 2.

On Monday, Steve Nelson April 2, Judge Kevin McKenney denied Steve Nelson's application for an order shortening time for filing as well as his motion for the issuance of a writ of mandate, said Craig Goldman, superintendent of the Mountain View Whisman School District. Nelson sought to force the Mountain View Whisman School District to change the language of the supporting literature for Measure G — a $198 million parcel-taxsupported bond for improving schools set to appear on the June 5 ballot. According to Nelson, the district was trying to scare the public into supporting the measure by overstating the risk of asbestos and lead at district schools. When reached by the Voice, Nelson said he had no comment on the court's decision. Nelson's challenge was denied for not being timely, because the district presented evidence countering Nelson's claims and a "petitioner's belief is an inadequate basis for a writ," according to Judge McKenny's notes, which Goldman sent to the Voice. The district-drafted argument in favor of Measure G, submitted to the county's registrar of voters and set to appear in voter guides, states that the $198 million bond is needed to make improvements and See NELSON, page 12 WE'RE WORKING TO PROVIDE SOLUTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA Our Small Business Bankers are out in the community, meeting face-to-face with clients in California.

Alcoholic Smell in Soaker...Good or Bad?
First I'll say thanks to everyone for being so experienced and helpful. I have a question.
When I soak whole grains/chops/flakes/coarse flour with water and a little yeast sometimes I get a boozy beer smell that reminds me of cleaning up after a busy night of bartending. Stale beer. It is rather pungent and I was wondering why this happens. Is it normal or desirable? Sometimes I use potato water or a little malt powder in the soaker with the yeast to give them something more to eat.

What kind of Hollywood dreamer would stake his reputation and hitch his vocational star to a pair of outlandish Scottish brewers for a U.S. television show looking to introduce craft beer virgins to the glories of hand-forged, far out ales and lagers? Surely there are more straightforward ways to educate and far better ideas for small-screen TV programming that'd be easier to pitch, shoot and promote. But it wouldn't be nearly as good as the Esquire Network's hit show, Brew Dogs. Hosted by James Watt and Martin Dickie, Co-founders of the ceiling-shattering U.K. brewing company of practically the same name (BrewDog…maybe you've heard of it), the series, now in its second season, is the love-laced labor of Executive Producer Jared Cotton, who recently visited Stonelandia Co-hosts Greg Koch (Co-founder and CEO of Stone Brewing Co.) and Tyler Graham (Stone's chief storyteller and GK's daring if not occasionally semi-reluctant conspirator). Punchiness, sarcasm, awkwardness and laughter ensued, and it was all documented for your viewing pleasure in Stonelandia: Jared Cotton & The Discerning Book of D%&k Jokes…

Get Your Fill: Living the Growler Lifestyle
Long ago, before bottled beer could be purchased at a supermarket–heck, before supermarkets–some clever folks decided they didn't want to be limited to drinking beer in pubs. After all, enjoying a pint at the bar is fine, but getting home to your family and enjoying a beer with your home-cooked meal is pretty epic, too. So they decided to have additional pints poured into a container (usually a metal pail back then) they could then take home and enjoy. My own grandfather told me his father used to send him to the local pub with a coffee can and the instructions: "Not too much foam." (Dad must have had a pretty good fake ID.) It's been a while since the days of filling any old container with draft beer. Somewhere along the way, the word "growler" became common terminology for a glass jug in which to carry home draft beer from a local brewery.
Our Liquid Poem's Second Stanza: Stone Ruination Double IPA 2.0
We've been (mis-)labeled "arrogant." We get it. You brew up a beer called Arrogant Bastard Ale and have the audacity to demand that everybody be entitled to the finest beer today's craftsmen and women can brew, and people form certain opinions. But in reality, we're not arrogant. What we are is extremely passionate and confident in craft beer and our abilities in that arena. To a person, our Brew Crew works tirelessly to up their technical knowledge and abilities. From keeping up on best practices and emerging techniques for upping beer's flavor, increasing the efficiency of our brewhouse, stimulating our yeast so they perform as optimally as possible or staying on top of the ever-changing hop crops and the immense influx of new botanical varietals being produced from the Pacific Northwest to Australia and New Zealand, Brewmaster Mitch Steele and his team have their hands (and heads) full. Each day offers a new opportunity to learn and grow, and our beers reflect that—perhaps more now than ever before.
Belgo A-Go-Go: Stone Belgian Fest
Stone is known for its beer and, thanks to the hard work of our staff, some well-stocked craft beer festivals. Names like Oakquinox, Sour Fest, and Pour It Black have become fixtures in the Stone fan lexicon. Each features a triple-digit list of fantastic draft and bottled beers, including rarities only the likes of our Craft Beer Ambassador "Dr." Bill Sysak has the long-tended industry relationships to procure for festival attendees. From the outside looking in, populating such a list seems easy, but there's a lot of science and elbow grease to it. We used our newest beer festival, Stone Belgian Fest (the first full-scale annual festival at our sprawling Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station brewery-restaurant), to follow "Dr." Bill and see how and why he does what he does to make sure fans get the full Stone festival experience every time out. Check out his answers, then make plans to join us for Stone Belgian Fest, 11 a.m. on Sunday, February 22.
Barrel Aging, Part 4: Brewing Beers for Barrels
Over the past year, our Research and Small Batch Manager Steve Gonzalez has fielded questions from curious beer fans and homebrewers on the topic of barrel-aging and Stone's wood program. In addition to one last batch of his responses, we're also offering up a cool video spotlighting our Small Batch Brewing Team. They are passionate people with a wealth of experience that, as exemplified by this four-part blog series, is as refined as the beers their expert techniques produce. Get a glimpse of what makes these folks so awesome then take in one last burst of barrel-aging knowledge.
The Start of Something Good: Stone Brewing Richmond
— Check out the STONE BREWING CO. – RICHMOND website for information and updates on this exciting project —
On October 9, 2014, we announced the selection of Richmond, Virginia, as the home for our upcoming Eastern U.S. brewery, packaging hall and Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens farm-to-table restaurant. Located in the city's Greater Fulton community, the project site offers everything we asked for and more, even though, at first glance, few might be able to see its potential.
As it stands now, the property, which has been vacant for over 40 years, consists of 15 separate parcels totaling 14 acres. Most of the property is the remnant of the now defunct 1970s Urban Renewal Plan and is located adjacent to a former gasworks property. In addition there's a vacant 1937 terminal building that's been uninhabited for almost 30 years and a beat-up slab of concrete constituting a former ferry landing.
Admittedly, these hardly sound like value-adds.
Fortunately, the members of the State and City teams that worked to bring Stone to Richmond (RVA as it's known to locals) went to great lengths to open our eyes to the possibilities that existed in the property. Allow us to explain.
Sudsy Civic Pride: San Diego Beer Week 2014
San Diego Beer Week in America's craft beer Mecca means more beer, food, pairings, nth level and over-the-top events than one person can attend. This excess of events naturally has heads turning in every direction, trying to figure out where to spend their time and sate their thirst for incredible beer. To make this process easier, here's a complete run down of all the events we have planned at our two Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido and Liberty Station.
Constants & Variables: The Lupulin Loop
As the Brewing Manager at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station. I would like to introduce a new series of beers that will rotate through our central San Diego brewery-restaurant. We at Stone make no secret of our love for hops and are always pushing the boundaries with beer experimentations—especially when it comes to hops. For years, we've played with multiple hop varieties, and the impact to our IPAs has been immense. One may ask, with so many hop varieties out there, how we do we continue to develop so many new and successful IPAs? Truth is it's never as easy as throwing a bunch of hops into our wort and crossing our fingers. Every hop is different, unique and complex with a wide range of flavors and aromas that could be compared to fruits, spices and even vegetables. We spend a lot of time getting intimately acquainted with the myriad of hops in our chilled down lockers, and now it's time for our fans to get in on that familiarization.
Enter what I have come to refer to as, "The Lupulin Loop." Why the Lupulin Loop? Maybe I just watched Groundhog's Day too much as a kid. Maybe it's because Tom Cruise just came out with that movie Edge of Tomorrow. Or maybe I'm still trying to play through Bioshock Infinite and I learned that when Elizabeth goes through the tears she goes to another dimension where everything looks the same but it's actually different. Regardless, it's all about constants and variables. With these beers, they'll always have the same malts, alcohol, IBU (international bittering units), PH, color…or as close to the same as I can possibly get them. The only thing that will change in the beer is the single variety of hop being used (even for bittering). The base of the beer is the constant (the loop), while the hop (Lupulin…the compound in hops that provides that addictive bitterness we all love) is the sole variable.
Ich Bin Ein Berliner Brauer: Greg Koch Announces Stone Brewing Co. – Berlin
On July 19, 2014, Stone CEO and Co-founder Greg Koch stood before an esteemed crowd of European friends, compatriots, media and soon-to-be-neighbors in Germany to announce that Stone Brewing Co. is coming to Berlin. The site of the announcement was the historic former gasworks that Koch and company will transform into an equal-parts traditional and modern campus including a state-of-the-art brewery, packaging hall, restaurant and gardens. The following is the speech Greg gave, which lays out Stone's reasoning, logic, plans, philosophies, passion and intentions for its new space and future in Europe…
Guten abend! Es ist mir eine grosse freude sie heute abend hier zu begrüssen.
As CEO and Co-founder of Stone Brewing Co., it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you. We are here today to celebrate something we are wildly enthusiastic about: fine…uncompromising…delicious…craft beer. And there's no better way to celebrate it, than to share some with our friends…all of you. Cheers.
Senses Working Overtime: Beer Appreciation 101
You don't have to be a certified beer judge or Cicerone to know when the taste of a beer strikes your fancy. But pinpointing exactly what you're experiencing—that mysterious connection between your brain and taste buds—can be tricky. Fortunately, there is a quite enjoyable remedy for this: Taste more beer! But also smell more beer and visually examine more beer. It takes all of one's senses to thoroughly evaluate ales and lagers. (OK, you don't need to hear beer, but one can't deny the anticipatory delight that stems from the sound of a bottle being opened or the sadness brought on by the last gasps of an emptied keg.) Practice makes perfect when it comes to exercising and refining your palate as well as the way you interpret beer's appearance, scents and flavors. Many reading this have had a lot of practice drinking beer, but read on for a crash course on how to really appreciate it.

Five-million battlefield electronic health records now available worldwide
WASHINGTON, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker today announced continued expansion of medical information technology to support a comprehensive electronic health record led by the Army. Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care, or MC4, provides digital recording capabilities and access to battlefield medical information via ruggedized laptops and handhelds intended to be used in combat zones to document patient care.
MC4 is now used at all Army and Air Force medical facilities on the battlefield, in the Multinational Forces and Observers Effort in Sinai, Egypt, as well as by Army Special Forces, Navy and Marine providers throughout Southwest Asia. The system ensures that service members have an electronic, lifelong medical record. More than five million electronic medical records have been captured since MC4's deployment in 2003.
"Everyone wants MC4 because of its universal benefits," said Lt. Col. Edward T. Clayson, commander of the Army's MC4 program. "Soldiers receive improved continuity of care, providers have up-to-date information to avoid repeat procedures and commanders have improved medical situational awareness to better place their medical resources and personnel on the battlefield."
When seconds count, the medical information of a wounded or ill service member can be beamed around the world to hospitals and doctor's offices straight from the battlefield in advance of their arrival.
Wounded Soldier Staff Sgt. Matthew Sims experienced the benefits of MC4 firsthand. "Having my medical records available electronically has helped doctors track and follow the treatment I have received at all of the different facilities," Sims said.
To date, the Army's MC4 program has deployed more than 24,000 systems
to medical units in Iraq and 13 other countries, and trained more than
26,000 field medics, do

The Rios/Pacquiao fight is not about testing Pac or Rios, or proving Pac can still win or deserves to fight Mayweather, etc. It's about money, purely and solely. Pacquiao is a very popular boxer. Almost all of his fights have been full of action and excitement. Same with Rios. Arum matched these two guys up because he knows the fight will sell. It will be a brawl-punchfest-slugfest. Arum is bringing one of the most popular sports in the world to China, and it's a major venue at that. But like I said, it's all about money. That's all Arum cares about.Posted August 5, 2013 11:26 pm

China just got there Olympic amateur boxing competitions rolling on all wheels in the last 8 years… They're still getting regional and national tournaments developed to develop the best talent. Their coaches are still mostly foreign coaches at this point. In 20 years they will have a lot of world class boxers because of the systematic way they go about things … The Soviet Union started a program to develope world class heavyweight boxers in the 1970's … and it didn't really bear any fruit until the 1990's.Posted August 4, 2013 8:35 pm
I am a fan of Pacquiao but I have bad feelings about this fight. Everyone may be underestimating Rios but I think Rios is the best fighter in Garcia's gym and better than Margocheato who hurt Pacquiao several times. To me, Pacquiao is being way too nice to Rios in the promotional tours almost as if to say take it easy on me when we fight because we're buddies now and I gave you your chance to see the world. I hope I am way off course on this one. Unfortunately, I think Rios will stop Pacquaio and I'll have to watch MMA with my kids henceforth. Somebody, tell me I'm wrong and everything will be ok.Posted August 4, 2013 6:47 pm

Btw, jumping through hoops to collect a marginally better payday in China? think again. American fighters might do that once or twice but will do a 180 as soon as they experience a significant or controversial loss, at which point they will blame their loss on having to "acclimate, for a few weeks . . . get up at 7AM and have their prefight meal . . . go for a walk, rest until 10AM and go to the arena . . . wait until about 30 minutes to go to glove up and start hitting the focus pads", etc. ultimately, when American fighters turn pro they are no longer willing to re-pay their dues by jumping through the same hoops they hopped through as amateurs. it's naïve and unrealistic to think that American fighters will willingly assume the burden of foreign fighters who've been compromising and sacrificing for decades for the opportunity to fight in the States. American fighters are simply too soft, spoiled, and entitled. there may be exceptions like Rios who self-identifies with a greater-Mexican boxing tradition but i don't see this happening among any other group of American fighters.Posted August 4, 2013 11:20 am

the big paydays will vanish as soon as Rios puts the final touches on Pacquiao* who is the only Asian fighter that Asian high-rollers or even average Asians will pay to watch. Zhiming has no global fanbase he can count on, which means no bigger paydays to attract non-Asian fighters to travel across the Pacific for a payday they can easily collect back home. answer: NO, the big fights will NOT be going to China as long as they have no superstar who can attract a global audience.Posted August 4, 2013 11:08 am

If a boxing card in China starts at 9 am it'll be 6 pm in San Francisco and 9 pm in NYC. The main event is then 8pm PST/10pm EST, as is standard here. If it's a big fight those degens in Macau will have no problem with that. As for the US fighters, as TARK says they'll acclimate to anything as long as it's a big payday.Posted August 3, 2013 12:49 pm
I disagree with that. Staying up till 1,2, or 3 in the morning is one thing. Waking up at 4, 5, or 6 in the morning is another thing. I can tell you Floyd is one if my favorite fighters but if I have to stay up and watch hi fights at 4 in the morning I won't be watching. I really doubt US fighters are willing to do this. Especially when they can make a lot of money gerePosted August 3, 2013 9:59 am
When Lennox Lewis used to fight in London they had a fight card that went from 8pm until 2 or 3 in the morning in order to accomodate the American PPV market. When Pacquiao fights it's like a social thing in the Philippines, everyone gathers at the coimmunity basketball court and they all watch together around midday. In the future though that won't need to happen because America is broke and their TV market won't mean as much when nobody can afford PPV.Posted August 3, 2013 9:09 am
Boxers will fight any time of day if the money is right.., Chinese promoters know the big PPV audiences are in North America on Saturday night.. If the main event goes off shortly after noon in China it's perfect.
The boxers can acclimate, for a few weeks and get up at 7AM and have their prefight meal… Then they go for a walk, rest until 10AM and go to the arena.. The thing is to wait until about 30 minutes to go to glove up and start hitting the focus pads. You're fighting for the most money you can possibly make … You're not too worried about having to fight at different times of the day.. You had plenty of that as an amateur where you didn't get paid.Posted August 3, 2013 2:52 am
The problem with fighting in China is they either have to fight really early so folks in the US can watch it live or not have many fans in the US watch it at all. They don't mind staying up over night to watch Pac live when he fights in the US. There is no way that the folks here in the US will do that. Plus if they fight early, the US based fighters probably won't like that. They first arrive early to get acclimated but then have to fight early in the morning, that won't happenPosted August 3, 2013 2:14 am

Yes. China's had some halfway decent boxing matches for years already. But Macau has opened the floodgates with Pac-Rios. It's a bigger casino industry than Vegas, in fact some casino operators based in Nevada actually make more money off Macau than they do in Vegas. So it makes sense more big fights will happen there.

The only way you could pull of one or two movies (like they did with Battlestar Galactica) is to use establised characters.
I don't see why that would be true at all.
Star Trek
is the known brand name to use as the main draw, and unless the show is animated, they can't make use of the well-known names of Kirk and Spock, so they may as well just invent new characters.
It's possible that characters from the other series could be recast (most of the actors being simply too old by now to build a new series around) but other than the TOS characters and Data, they really aren't iconic in their own right, as a separate thing from the actors who played them. I could see Alan Tudyk as Data. I really can't think of another non-TOS character who could be recast and still be a draw.
Do you think that a lot of people would have gone and see TrekXI in the cinema's if they were completely new characters?
Doubtfull. Same thing goes for TV movie, unless you invest a long series of tv movies where these new characters can be developed more. And, like I said, 6 90 minute movies as a season is not an American way of making tv, it's more a British thing. So, logicaly they would use the standard 40-45 minute format.
And since it's been established already that CBS is currently not interested in doing a Trek series in that format, it's highly unlikely we will see Trek TV movies.
See, for the studios, it's not about pleasing fans. Yes, I know, shocking. It's about money. Probably a lot less shocking. And right now, long running SciFi, set in space like Trek, B5 and SG, are no longer profitable. It's not cool. Vampires and supernatural stuff is. So they make those. If, ten years from now, someone dares to make a show set in space and it works and it makes money, you'll be seeing a new Trek series.
Why? Because they can make dollars. Not to please us, not for fans-sake, but for the money.

I'd just picked a bunch of kale from a friend's garden when I saw this recipe. I had high hopes for it, but was surprised how bland it ended up. The chicken was perfect and the kale lovely, but the sauce was blah. Next time I'll boil it down after removing the cooked chicken. Also, I like the idea one commenter had to add chickpeas. I'll try that next time, too.flag if inappropriate
I have cooked this recipe twice now and love it- It ends up being very tender and juicy chicken that has a great taste of the herbs. Topped on some kale with a little bit of lemon- it is so delicious :)flag if inappropriate
I made this for a few friends and everyone enjoyed. I browned the chicken in two pots, then moved everything into one.flag if inappropriate
My whole family really enjoyed this recipe! It was easy and delicious. (I had to use skinless chicken breasts (since that was all I had in freezer) so I compensated with butter. Next time I will purchase the skin on chicken pieces.)flag if inappropriate
Super simple to make and a great, healthy comfort dish! Leftovers tasted even better the next day after the flavours developed some more in the fridge.flag if inappropriate
Great way to use my bumper crop of kale! Thank you kendemario and sardines for not rating the recipe. Pet peeve of mine when cooks change the ingredients and then rate a completely different recipe.;)flag if inappropriate
I followed the recipe as written, except that I used Swiss chard which I had on hand, rather than kale. I also used boneless skinless chicken thighs which browned in 2-3 minutes and needed less cooking time in the liquid (about 20 minutes). It would serve as a complete and tasty meal on its own, but I sliced and roasted a sweet potato, which was a nice complement.flag if inappropriate
I like this but I used boneless thigh filets and I had some Swiss chard and collard greens from my yard. Easy tasty and there were no leftovers!flag if inappropriate
Perfect for a weeknight meal, easy, and relatively healthy. I used leg quarters and it turned out great.flag if inappropriate
Excellent recipe made with thighs and kale! Not difficult and it has that sort-of hearty/meaty feel (if that makes sense) that I like. Definitely going into my recipe box.flag if inappropriate

The Ten Most Revealing Psych Experiments. Psychology is the study of the human mind and mental processes in relation to human behaviors - human nature.
Due to its subject matter, psychology is not considered a 'hard' science, even though psychologists do experiment and publish their findings in respected journals. Some of the experiments psychologists have conducted over the years reveal things about the way we humans think and behave that we might not want to embrace, but which can at least help keep us humble. That's something. 1. 'Lord of the Flies': Social Identity Theory The Robbers Cave Experiment is a classic social psychology experiment conducted with two groups of 11-year old boys at a state park in Oklahoma, and demonstrates just how easily an exclusive group identity is adopted and how quickly the group can degenerate into prejudice and antagonism toward outsiders. Researcher Muzafer Sherif actually conducted a series of 3 experiments. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Turns out that it's all about framing. 10 More Brilliant Social Psychology Studies: Why Smart People Do. A wealth of psychological insights from ten more key social psychology studies.
Over the last 7 months I've been exploring 10 more of my favourite social psychology studies, each with an insightful story to tell about how our minds work. This follows on from an article I wrote two years ago (10 brilliant social psychology studies). Key insights from each study are below but click through to get the full story of each experiment. Image credit: Ayres no graces. 10 Brilliant Social Psychology Studies. Ten of the most influential social psychology experiments.
"I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?" –Philip Zimbardo Like eminent social psychologist Professor Philip Zimbardo (author of The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil), I'm also obsessed with why we do dumb or irrational things.
Over the past few months I've been describing 10 of the most influential social psychology studies. The 'halo effect' is a classic finding in social psychology. » Read on about the halo effect -» The ground-breaking social psychological experiment of Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) provides a central insight into the stories we tell ourselves about why we think and behave the way we do. » Read on about cognitive dissonance -» » Read on about Zimbardo's Stanford prison experiment -» 10 Practical Uses For Psychological Research in Everyday Life. People love to give each other advice.
The web is full to bursting with all types of pseudo-psychological advice about life. The problem is, how much of this is based on real scientific evidence? Well, here on PsyBlog we've got the scientific evidence. So here's my top 10 list of what you can learn practically from the psychological research discussed here recently.

Tigers coach Les Miles has been suspiciously quiet heading into this week's matchup against UAB, and it seems that silence said plenty; although Hill won't start in Week 2, he'll be on the sidelines and will likely see game action, according to Bruce Feldman of CBS.#LSU RB Jeremy Hill "won't start but has a good chance of playing" tomorrow vs UAB, a source tells CBS.— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) September 6, 2013Miles has taken a lot of scrutiny for not only letting Hill back on the team, but for keeping his suspension light following an incident in which Hill sucker-punched a victim, which was captured on camera phone. Hill was already on probation for a misdemeanor charge from early 2012. The Advocate from Baton Rouge, La., has a similar report on Hill's status. Promoted Stories Comments

How can a team improve on a 13-0 season?
After winning the Rose Bowl and finishing second in the final BCS standings, the only way TCU could have a better 2011 campaign is if it wins a national championship.
On the bright side, entering their final year in the Mountain West Conference, the Horned Frogs' strength of schedule is similar to their perfect season. However, duplicating the success will greatly depend on replacing an outstanding college quarterback.
While Andy Dalton waits to find out when he can wear his Cincinnati Bengals uniform, sophomore Casey Pachall is working as TCU's new starter under center.
Unfortunately for Pachall, he won't have help from two of the Horned Frogs' top three receivers last season. The tandem of Jeremy Kerley and Jimmy Young – which caught a combined 88 passes in 2010 – has graduated.
"When you lose that many great receivers and a quarterback that good, maybe expectations aren't as high," Pachall told Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "We feel as a whole unit we need to step it up and continue to build on what they left us with."
Pachall will be protected by a young offensive line that is replacing four starters, however, three experienced backs return, including standout junior Ed Wesley, who ran for 1,078 yards and 11 scores last season.
Stevenson previewed the Horned Frogs for Dave Campbell's 2011 Texas Football magazine. One of the focal points to his story is the recruiting of head coach Gary Patterson.
Despite not having the benefit of several four and five-star high school recruits, Patterson has found a way to compete with the big boys. Heck, Texas Football points out that since 2002, 43 different FBS programs have signed a Rivals.com five-star player. And even though TCU is not one of those teams, the Horned Frogs have managed to win 13 of their 18 games against those teams over that same time span.
"You prove to people that it wasn't just a good team when you take guys no one knows," Patterson said. "Like last year, who knew who (defensive end) Stansly Maponga was? All of a sudden, he's a freshman All-American."
Patterson's recent success has already improved TCU's recruiting. The Horned Frogs brought in the 26th ranked recruiting class in 2011, and two of those commits were four-star players. Prior to that class, TCU had never cracked the top 45 of Rivals' team rankings, dating back to 2002.
"We don't have a problem giving a guy a chance if we feel like he has a chance to develop and be somebody," Patterson said.
The preview magazine didn't project a repeat perfect season for TCU. The Horned Frogs are predicted to finish third in the Mountain West and post a 10-2 record.
Who will be handing out the two defeats?
Texas Football says TCU will fall to Air Force on Sept. 10 and again on Nov. 12 to the conference's newest member, Boise State. The Broncos are the Mountain West favorite and the Horned Frogs are projected to end their season against Miami, Fla. in the Independence Bowl.
Stevenson's article included a couple of interesting quotes about TCU's defensive unit.
While discussing his defense, which is known for its five defensive back scheme, Patterson noted: "This is the first time in 14 years that we didn't have a safety that had ever played in a ballgame playing in the spring game. I was very excited with how they played, how they communicated, and how they did things."
Defensive end Braylon Broughton shared his feelings on playing for a defensive-minded head coach.
"I will tell you this: early on, it was challenging," he said. "I didn't know how to deal with it, because he's very hard when it comes to coaching. But you expect that from a coach. He sees greatness inside of you and tries to develop that. … Every day is a learning experience."

David Thompson: Wild West 2.0 - Author interview
Online reputation expert, and general counsel and Chief Reputation Officer at ReputationDefender, David Thompson, co-author with Michael Fertik, was kind enough to take the time to answer a few questions about their eye opening and groundbreaking book Wild West 2.0: How to Protect and Restore Your Online Reputation on the Untamed Social Frontier.
David Thompson describes how the openness of the internet, with so much information about individuals and organizations readily available, that many dangers to reputation lurk in many dark corners of the world wide web. He shares proven real world techniques to establish a positive reputation, and how to protect and restore it from attacks.
Thanks to David Thompson for his time, and for his informative and comprehensive responses. They are greatly appreciated.
What was the background to writing this book Wild West 2.0: How to Protect and Restore Your Online Reputation on the Untamed Social Frontier?
David Thompson: Today, the Internet can make or break anyone's reputation and career. People ranging from PTA parents, to C-level executives, to mom-and-pop businesses have been affected by online rumors and gossip. We wanted to distill our experience and provide a guide to why the Internet is so different than other media, and then give step-by-step directions for professionals and small businesses that want to protect themselves.
It was time for a book that explained to professionals and small businesses what they need to do to protect themselves. There were many books about Internet marketing for big businesses, but none that showed why and how to proactively build their reputation online.
In the book, the internet is compared to the frontier. What does the internet share in common with the frontier of the Old West?
David Thompson: Everyone is familiar with the "gold rush" phase of the Internet. But many people don't realize the many other ways that the Internet is like the Old West frontier. Both started with small groups of pioneers who established their own rough-and-tumble culture on the new frontier. Both featured large "gold rushes" where millions of people followed those initial pioneers. And both featured a large culture clash when "old" and "new" societies came into conflict.
Right now, we're in the culture clash phase of the Internet frontier. Millions of people are finding out that law enforcement doesn't work the same way online, that online norms of behavior bear very little resemblance to offline norms, and that they are at risk whether they use the Internet or not. We wanted to give them the tools they need to practice active self-defense online, and an understanding of the cultural differences between offline and online communities.

Many people are either unaware of reputation issues on the internet or consider them to be overblown. What do you say to those people?
David Thompson: It's hard to over-estimate how important online reputation is to professionals and small businesses---and how quickly it can be made and destroyed. Professionals and small businesses are not like big companies. Big companies develop positive or negative reputations over the course of years and millions of comments. Today, a company like BP might have 10 million people talking about its safety record every day. It's hard for any one voice to dominate that conversation.
But most individuals and small businesses have very little online presence. One dedicated attacker -- whether a jealous co-worker, a scorned lover, or simply a teenager out for some mean "fun" -- can quickly and anonymously destroy a professional online reputation. We've seen cases where everyday people were attacked for seemingly no reason, and then had to spend tens or hundreds of hours cleaning up the damage. Everyone is vulnerable -- trying to ignore the danger doesn't make it go away.
In the book, it is stated quite clearly that a person' s internet reputation is their reputation. What do you mean by that?
David Thompson: Today, nearly everyone uses Google to search for information about each other. The information that shows up at the top of a Google search (or even the absence of information totally) sets the frame through which individuals are viewed.
People search for information about their neighbors, their children's teachers, their doctors, their office-mates, the people they meet at conferences, and nearly everybody else they interact with.
Unfortunately, most web searchers just skim Google headlines and maybe click on just a couple of results. The vast majority of web searchers never get past the first page of Google results. False or misleading information on the first page of Google can forever tarnish your reputation, and create a self-sustaining cycle of repetition.
What are some of the forces that drive internet reputation for both good and bad?
David Thompson: Anonymity and social distance have changed everything. They are the biggest differences from face-to-face communications, and two of the reasons why reputations are at risk online.
The Internet is fundamentally anonymous. Some sites require registration, but the basic technology of the Internet works completely anonymously. Anonymity has been used for good and evil online. For good, it allows people to talk freely about politics, to explore new identities, the blow the whistle on polluting corporations, and many other purposes. But it also allows people to attack each other without taking any responsibility or accountability. People feel free to attack without putting their own good name at risk.
The Internet also creates social distance. Studies (ranging from Milgram's famous "shock" experiment to studies of soldiers' ability to kill) have shown that people are more likely to cause each other harm when they are physically and emotionally distant from their victims. The computer creates a powerful social distance by replacing face-to-face interactions with virtual ones, with no way to see into the victim's eyes.
Many companies and individuals find themselves defending against anonymous attacks. What can be done about anonymous attackers to prevent their assaults and to lessen their damage?
David Thompson: The most powerful thing you can do is to take control of your reputation before somebody else does. If you build powerful positive and neutral online content about yourself, you can stop future attackers from having as large an impact on your reputation.
Your defenses can be as simple as making sure that you have registered all the usernames that relate to your name (so as to prevent impersonation) and registering YourName.com, to as secure as building a substantial amount of web content.
Is the ease of search through Google contributing to reputation problems online?
David Thompson: People now use Google to ask questions they would never ask face-to-face. In many circumstances, Google can be a powerful tool for research. But it has been abused by people who use it to pry into the lives of their neighbors and acquaintances.
The problem is worsened by the fact that Google's results look so authoritative. We use the term "Google Truth" to describe the fact that Google creates the impression that just 10 search results can be a complete, fair, or reasonable portrait of somebody's life. Really, we are all much more complex and nuanced people than Google could possibly summarize with just 10 links.

Why do people attack others online anyway? What is their benefit or goal?
David Thompson: People attack each other online for all the same reasons as they do offline; it's just an order of magnitude easier online because of social distance and anonymity.
We've seen attacks by everyone ranging from bitter ex-lovers, to scorned former employees, to jealous co-workers, to neighborhood gossips, to angst-riddled teenagers who want to create a mess. Small businesses are especially at risk because competitors have every incentive to leave false negative reviews and attacks. There is no one single explanation for online attacks; instead we list many of the most common causes in Wild West 2.0.
What are some of the most common form of attacks made online?
David Thompson: Nearly anything can be an online attack. We often see people who make bold lies about other people--ranging from false accusations of infidelity to allegations of a drinking problem. Thanks to digital technology, we're seeing more and more people fall victim to manipulated or forged photos---Photoshop photo editing software makes it easy for attackers to create photo forgeries that are convincing to nearly all viewers. And we're even seeing some brazen online impersonation attacks, where the attacker tries to hijack the victim's entire digital life.
How can the amount of damage be assessed and measured by a company experiencing online attack?
David Thompson: A structured online reputation audit can help a small business experiencing attack. By carefully measuring the types of people who might be searching for you, and then exploring the search results they see, it is possible to determine exactly how severe the damage has been. A careful online reputation audit also helps to uncover what we call "iceberg content"---that is, negative websites that are still hidden below the surface of a search result, but could present a huge danger in the future. We provide a step-by-step guide to an online reputation audit in Wild West 2.0.
How can a person or company be proactive in preventing online attacks?
David Thompson: The first step toward preventing online attack is simply to live a good life, run a good business, and be positive. Positive people tend to attract fewer problems, online and off.
In the Internet age, businesses need to be especially pro-active about customer service; any unsatisfied customer can become a lightning rod for criticism of your company. Not long ago, one student created national news when he criticized a towing company and got tens of thousands of Facebook "fans" for his position; the same can happen to you. Stay on top of customer service, closely monitor social media for references to your business that might be the first signs of a future storm.
If an attack has damaged a reputation online, how can it be restored?
David Thompson: If possible, identify the source. Sometimes an online problem can be resolved by fixing the underlying offline dispute. Other times, an attacker is dedicated or can't be found. In those cases, the best thing to do is to build as much positive and neutral content as possible. Small businesses often have an advantage in that they have hundreds (or even thousands) of happy customers---gently and politely encourage them to review your business or share their experiences online. Other attacks are more serious and require professional remediation.
Despite the problems online, should business people and individuals still embrace the positive power of the internet?
David Thompson: Of course! You will be discussed online whether you use the Internet or not, so there's no way to "opt-out" of Internet discussion. The best you can do is to embrace the best parts of the Internet and encourage others to do the same. Be a positive role model by being positive and respectful online. Over time there has been a slow trend toward politeness and decorum online; you can be part of that trend.
What is next for David Thompson?
David Thompson: Privacy is the next frontier. Too much information is available about private individuals -- all too often, it is possible to find online their name, address, credit score, phone number, family members, and even their credit information. This information is empowering stalkers, scammers, spammers, domestic assailants, and more. It's time for people to take back control of their privacy. For small business owners and managers, it is especially important to be able to control the separation between personal and professional lives; work should not follow them home. We're launching products like MyPrivacy.com and PrivacyDefender.net to help people take back control.
