Holocaust Memorial - A firsthand account
I want to thank all of those who called or wrote me to make sure I, or my group, was OK last week. Obviously, we were all fine, but I appreciate the sentiment. I was with my last major group of the season, a great bunch from Wisconsin, at the Capitol and we were not directly involved at all. However, a fellow guide, Alex Matthews, was with his group at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and Alex was kind enough to give me his firsthand account of the tragedy at the Museum.
Last Wednesday, I took my WorldStrides group of 7th and 8th graders for a visit to the Holocaust Museum at around 12:30 p.m. Their visit was to be a brief one to visit the Daniel's Story exhibit. We entered the Museum on the 15th Street side where, as I always do, I pointed out the Eisenhower statement about Holocaust deniers. I then sent them into the exhibit. My lead teacher needed to use the rest room but the other two teachers went into the Daniel's Story exhibit with the students. I positioned myself on the bench at the exit of Daniel's Story to wait for my group. Suddenly, there was a clamor sounding almost like something large and metal may have fallen down the stairs. Once I processed the sound, it became clear that it was gunshots. I told all the students surrounding me (none of whom were in my group) to get down and get under the benches. They did so immediately. Soon thereafter, we could hear the voices of a number of individuals who would turn out to be plain cloths security. It appeared that they did not feel that they had secured the Museum. After a bit, I decided that I needed to be with my group so I ran the few feet to the exit door of Daniel's Story and began to work my way backwards through the exhibit in search of my charges. I informed museum goers of the goings-on as I went. When I finally reached my group, the police had begun to direct groups out the 15th Street door and we were ordered to run out and then run to Independence Ave. My group was assembled at the corner and I walked them across the street to the green space along 15th Street where the teachers and I counted them. We had everyone except the lead teacher but we soon made telephone contact and within a couple of minutes we were reunited. As our bus was parked just outside of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (next door to the Holocaust Museum), I walked the group through the grassy area and then across to the bus. The driver arranged with the police to leave the area via Maine Ave and we were at Union Station by 1:30 p.m. At no point did we know any of the particulars of who had been shot or the extent of the violence. A security guard was uncharacteristically emotional. I could tell from her behavior and some of the things she said that one of her colleagues had been injured and that evening we were sad to hear that he died of his wound.
This experience occasioned a lot of emotion among my teachers and the students. We urged all the students to call their parents to let them know that they were well. My lead teacher called WorldStrides (the tour company) to let them know that we were all safe. After lunch, on the way to the Capitol, we all sat on a stand near the Russell Senate Office Building to talk about and to process what had occurred. Each student was given the opportunity to speak as were all the adults. When I spoke, I told them how pleased I was to be with this particular group who had behaved just as they were asked and cooperated at every turn. I added that there are people who would, through such acts of violence, have us alter and limit our lives. I asked, "do we want them to win?" The students gave a resounding "no."
We then visited the Capitol, the Library of Congress and did a picture stop at the Supreme court and the students were attentive and profited from the experience. After dinner, the teachers decided that the students had lost their ability to absorb any more information and needed to go back to the hotel.
The next day we were unable to walk past the south side of the White House (this usually happens when the president is on the move) -- a disappointment erased by the passing motorcade of the president which occasioned much excitement (especially as my group was from Illinois). Mr.Obama was waving not from his usual limousine but rather a well armored SUV. I suspect, in light of the previous day's events, that the Secret Service advised against
using Marine 1 (helicopter) to go to Andrews AFB for his flight to Green Bay so they had a motorcade to the airport.

I'm just returning from the SNW Spring conference in Orlando. It seemed sparsely attended but my 5-foot tall wife of almost 28 years has always told me that dynamite comes in small packages (I believe her!).
As I noted in my last post, I was in Orlando to participate in a round table discussion on storage hypervisors hosted by ESG Senior Analyst Mark Peters. I was joined by Claus Mikkelsen - Chief Scientist at Hitachi Data Systems, Mark Davis – CEO of Virsto (now a VMware company), and George Teixeira – CEO of DataCore. Conspicuously missing from the conversation both at this SNW and at a similar round table held during the SNW Fall 2012 conference was any representation from EMC. More on that in a moment.
The session this time drew a crowd roughly three times the size of the Fall 2012 installment – a completely full room. And the level of audience participation in questioning the panel members further demonstrated just how much the industry conversation is accelerating. I was pleased to see that most of the discussion was focused on use cases for what was interchangeably referred to as storage virtualization, storage hypervisors, and software-defined storage. Check out my new blog – TheLine – for a view on a few of the use cases that were probed on.

His face is frozen into a permanent scowl; his gnarled hand incapable of unclenching from the grip of a semiautomatic handgun; he can only communicate in his own invented language, an allegorical tongue spoken in terms of finding and killing people; yet still a brave Liam Neeson continues to hide his growing afflictions from fans under the cover of acting, now signing on to star as scowly-gun-guy again in the action-thriller Run All Night.
The film comes from Jaume Collet-Serra, who previously had Neeson running around shooting in Unknown, and will next make him do that again in the similarly kinetic-sounding Non-Stop. Neeson will, of course, basically play Taken again as a man protecting his family by way of a very particular set of murder skills: he'll be a mob hitman who somehow has a falling out with his organization, sending he and his estranged son on the run, then on the run back at them to "take on his former boss." Then a production assistant will swab the blood off Neeson's grimace, and the actor will scamper off to the set of Taken 3, no one the wiser that, really, he wishes he could just smile.

Jake Hamilton & Sam Jackson eurweb.com *During the "Django Unchained" press junket, FOX Houston entertainment reporter Jake Hamilton sat down for 1:on:1s with the cast. Everything was going OK until he decided to ask Samuel L. Jackson about the controversy surrounding the use of the n-word "There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the usage of the N-word in this movie," Hamilton began before Jackson cut him off. "No? Nobody? None? The word would be…?" the actor inquired facetiously.

When the pump head is properly seated on a presta valve, how many psi per stroke are you getting? How many strokes does it take you to pump from 0 to 100 psi on a 700x23 tire for example?
I'm getting about 2.5 psi per stroke on the Super Pista I just purchased and trying to figure out if that's a low figure. I've heard Silca pumps are "fast" (less strokes to reach inflation) and if maintained, last a long time.
EDIT: How many FULL strokes does it take you to pump from 0 to 100 psi on a 700x23 tire? I acknowledge that psi per stroke will change during inflation. The 2.5 psi per stroke was figured when I went from 80 to 100 psi in 8 full strokes.

John Law
John Law
Here is the history of John Law and his ideas, the man associated with one of the most spectacular asset bubbles of all time.
Contributed Content (0) and Suggested Materials (2)
Ask a Question
Did John Law's career inspire some prototypical public choice theorists? His career makes the movements of modern financial executives in and out of regulatory bodies look supremely discreet by comparison.
The first lecture in Before Adam Smith Part 1 said that Galileo wrote about the Diamond and Water Paradox. It was mentioned again in this lecture but not attributed to Galileo. By inference, however, it appears attributed to Law but "notably associated with Adam Smith." My question is was Galileo the first one to write about this Paradox or was it a theory even before him? Who should receive the original credit?
This issue gave me pause, too, and I just spent the past 10 minutes trying to make a connection through my notes...online I'm finding associations with Copernicus as well, which only adds to the confusion.

(1754-1838).His full name was Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord. In the history of modern France he is virtually unequaled as a statesman and diplomat. He also had a remarkable ability to survive in the turbulent period of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic wars, and the restoration of the monarchy. On the darker side, Talleyrand was not above playing both sides of the political street to be assured of coming out on top. Through bribes and speculation he amassed a huge fortune.

Rose Byrne To Become A Townie
And also says This Is Where I Leave You
These are busy times for Rose Byrne. Having only just finished back-to-back shoots on horror sequel Insidious: Chapter 2 and Owen Wilson / Vince Vaughn vehicle The Internship, she looks to be heading straight into frat-boy comedy Townies and the impressive ensemble of This Is Where I Leave You. Dammit, that's the kind of work ethic that just makes the rest of us look bad.
We're only officially at the "talks" stage for both so far, but assuming Byrne signs on the lines, she'd be playing, respectively, the love interests of Jason Bateman and Seth Rogen.
Townies looks to be the one headed before the cameras first. Directed by Nick Stoller with a screenplay by Andrew Cohen and Brendan O'Brien, it's an R-rated comedy about man-child Rogen and his relationship with the frat-house down the street. Zac Efron is playing the head frat-boy, and Byrne's role would be as Rogen's wife, described as "the adult in the relationship".
This Is Where I Leave You, meanwhile, would reunite Byrne with her Internship director Shawn Levy. This one's about a family of dysfunctional siblings forced to spend a week together as a reult of their father's dying wish. Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Kathryn Hahn and Corey Stall are all already aboard along with Bateman, and this one would see Byrne as the romantic lead, an old crush of Bateman's.
It's kind of worth saying that, in this day and age, it's a shame that someone as good as Byrne is still generally restricted to girlfriend/wife roles. But as long as she gets to do interesting stuff within those confines, we guess we won't complain too much. At least we're getting to see her pleasingly often.
Townies is set for a spring shoot, with This Is Where I Leave You getting going in the summer. The Internship is out in the UK on July 4, while Insidious: Chapter 2 is likely to be released somewhere near Hallowe'en.

Combinatorial Game Theory is a powerful tool for analysing mathematical games. Lewis Dartnell explains how the technique can be used to analyse games such as Twentyone and Nim, and even some chess endgames.
Not only are paper models of geometric shapes beautiful and intriguing, but they also allow us to visualise and understand some important geometric constructions. Konrad Polthier tells us about the gentle art of paper folding.
Calculus is a collection of tools, such as differentiation and integration, for solving problems in mathematics which involve "rates of change" and "areas". In the first of two articles aimed specially at students meeting calculus for the first time, Chris Sangwin tells us about these tools - without doubt, the some of the most important in all of mathematics.
Marcus du Sautoy begins a two part exploration of the greatest unsolved problem of mathematics: The Riemann Hypothesis. In the first part, we find out how the German mathematician Gauss, aged only 15, discovered the dice that Nature used to chose the primes.
Skot McDonald talks to Plus about how he uses mathematics to understand music, and how he managed to combine his passions for music and computing to create a successful career.
Multiplying rabbits and cosmic strings
Despite what the innumerate masses may wish, our daily lives are inextricably tied up with mathematics. On the most mundane level, we use basic arithmetic to do such things as tell the time, to count our change, to programme the video. But on a less obvious level we also need a reasonably good grasp of geometry in order to park the car in the garage or to pack the shopping bags carefully at the supermarket; we collect and interpret statistical data when the football results come in and we all seem to know how easily order turns to chaos.
It is not uncommon for physics students to know more about the history of physics than mathematics students do about the history of mathematics. Physical laws often come with a name attached; mathematics constitutes a more homogenous structure, and thus tracing parentage can be harder.
Of all the classical functions, the Gamma function still retains much of its mystery and intrigue, since Euler first spotted it as something "worthy of serious consideration". In Gamma, Julian Havil explores Gamma from its birth and in so doing simultaneously deals with many related functions, problems and issues that go beyond the conventional territory of functions alone.
In this well-written book, James Gleick (author of Chaos) tackles the life and work of Isaac Newton. He focuses on the man and his life in the historical context of Britain in the 17th Century, and, although the book is not a light read, he explains Newton's science well without the use of any equations. Newton was born in 1642 in the time of the civil war (King Charles was beheaded when Newton was six years old).

School policy dictates that a student's performance on the core assessment tool must count for at least 20% of the student's total course grade. For this course, the tool consists of the final exam. Therefore, the final exam must count for at least 20% of the student's total course grade (preferably, it will count for more). School policy dictates that the core assessment tool must cover at least 75% of a course's learning outcomes. To ensure compliance, all CS 321 instructors are required to give the same final exam. See the attached final exam artifact and artifact solution. To prevent cheating, students are strictly forbidden from keeping the final exam, the solutions, or copies of either.
There are four categories of questions in the final exam:
Critical thinking:
(relevant learning outcomes – 2, 6)
Given a problem description, produce a solution in the form of a short program or a method(s).
Exam questions: 18-19
See the exam solution for details on how to score the questions.
Communication: (relevant learning outcome – 5)
Short answer questions that ask the student to explain various concepts and trace and debug code fragments and/or programs.
Exam questions: 15-19
Key discipline concepts/terminology:
(relevant learning outcomes – 1, 5, 6)
Multiple-choice and true/false questions that ask the student about CS 321 concepts.
Exam questions: 1-14
Technical skills:
(relevant learning outcomes – 4, 6)
Exam questions: 15-17
The ICS Program Coordinator will analyze core assessment results for a sampling of all ICS courses offered. In analyzing the results, the ICS Program Coordinator will grade the exams using the (very specific) grading criteria shown on the exam solution. The final grade is in the form of a percentage where the percentages equate to the following levels of success:
Exceeds expectations
Meets expectations
Does not meet expectations
No evidence
≥ 85%
65% to 84%
< 65%
No exam graded.
The ICS Program Coordinator will use the core assessment scores to compare results across all instructional modalities.

Hi. I have around $250 to spend on a pair of headphones to replace my HD 428.
The contestants are ATH-AD900 and Sennheiser 598 so far.
I'm looking mostly for full-size open (or at least semi-open) headphones. I won't be carrying these around.
I'm leaning towards ATH-AD900 since a friend of a friend is trying to sell his after having it for a couple of months, but if there's something significantly better, please let me know.
Also, some questions:
1. At this price range, should I consider getting a headphone amp? How do I know if the performance of these headphones is being compromised by other components of my audio system?
2. Right now, I'm listening to flac from my computer audio through a Creative USB sound card. Should i try to improve the sound source before I spend on a pair of headphones?
Thank you

Why a Single Bail-In For a Country Few Can Find On a Globe Matters to EVERYONE
The Cyprus bank bail-in committed of early 2013 may seem like small deal to most US investors.
After all, most Americans probably couldn't even find Cyprus on a globe. And with the mainstream media spreading the narrative that the Cyprus bail-in was a one-time event that was meant to support the bank while punishing tax dodging crooks, 99% of folks won't think twice about the situation.
However, the reality of what happened in Cyprus is a far different matter. And the reason that this reality has not been featured as headline news is because doing so would reveal the following:
1) European politicians are both corrupt and incompetent.
2) Those meant to assess the risk of any financial institutions don't know what they're talking about.
3) The average citizen will be screwed while politically connected insiders will be given the means to circumvent the law.
Let's assess these issues one by one.
First off, the Cyprus bank "bail-in" was not some sudden event. The country first asked for a bail-out in JUNE 2012. Here's the timeline.
· June 25, 2012: Cyprus formally requests a bailout from the EU.
· November 24, 2012: Cyprus announces it has reached an agreement with the EU the bailout process once Cyprus banks are examined by EU officials (ballpark estimate of capital needed is €17.5 billion).
During the period of late June 2012 until November 2012, Cyprus's problems were allegedly being assessed and nothing more. Throughout this period, NO ONE in a position of significant political or financial power suggested to Cypriots or anyone else who had money in the Cyprus banks that their money would be STOLEN.
Instead, numerous bureaucrats came out to assure the public that this situation was under control and that the risks to the Cyprus banks would be carefully assessed.
Then, in the span of a single week, a bank holiday was declared, bank accounts were frozen, and deposits were stolen.
Here's the specific sequence of events:
· March 16 2013: Cyprus announces the terms of its bail-in: a 6.75% confiscation of accounts under €100,000 and 9.9% for accounts larger than €100,000… a bank holiday is announced.
· March 17 2013: emergency session of Parliament to vote on bailout/bail-in is postponed.
· March 18 2013: Bank holiday extended until March 21 2013.
· March 19 2013: Cyprus parliament rejects bail-in bill.
· March 20 2013: Bank holiday extended until March 26 2013.
· March 24 2013: Cash limits of €100 in withdrawals begin for largest banks in Cyprus.
· March 25 2013: Bail-in deal agreed upon. Those depositors with over €100,000 either lose 40% of their money (Bank of Cyprus) or lose 60% (Laiki).
The most critical item to note about this timeline is that while the general public was assured that all was well, politically connected insiders were warned to get their money OUT OF THE BANKS
One hundred and thirty-two companies reportedly had inside knowledge of Cyprus' impending levy tax as they withdrew deposits worth US$916 million in the run-up to the bailout deal.
The companies withdrew their savings in the two week period (between March 1 to March 15) leading up to the rescue deal that enforced heavy losses on wealthy depositors in Cypriot banks, according to Greek newspaper Proto Thema.
Shortly after this the EU ministers and the IMF hammered out a 10-billion-euro (US$13 billion) bailout agreement with Cyprus, which included a one-time tax on deposits held in Cypriot banks.
In the meantime all banks in Cyprus temporarily froze the amounts required to pay the tax on their clients' deposits and stopped all transactions while the government negotiated the details of the agreement.
The companies on the list withdrew their deposits in euro, USD, GBP and Russian rubles and later transferred to banks outside of Cyprus. The total amount withdrawn comes to US$916 million.
So, nearly $1 billion worth of insider money escaped the Cyprus confiscation scheme. NONE of it was retiree savings. Ordinary individuals got screwed while politically connected insiders were able to get out scot-free.
Now what's truly amazing is that the Cyprus bank that collapsed was actually AWARDED BEST BANK for Private Banking by EUROMONEY Magazine. What was hailed as the BEST bank for private banking ended up being totally insolvent with 47% of deposits above €100,000 being converted into bank equity.
Bank of Cyprus has been named as the Best Bank for Private Banking in Cyprus, by the internationally acclaimed magazine EUROMONEY
Bank of Cyprus Private Banking ranked first among Cypriot, Greek and other international financial institutions operating in Cyprus in the Private Banking sector. This accolade classifies the Bank among the leading financial institutions offering Private Banking services and is yet another important international distinction for the Bank of Cyprus Group…
This recognition by EUROMONEY is ever more important in today's macroeconomic environment as it reaffirms the Bank's ability to safely and successfully respond to its clients' financial needs and emphasizes its clients' loyalty and trust.
Now, the political and financial elite in Cyprus and the EU will argue that bank deposits were not STOLEN because they were converted into equity in the bank at a rate of €1 per share. But being forced to change cold hard cash for equity in an insolvent bank is hardly cause for excitement.
Indeed, the market, now well aware that the Bank of Cyprus is insolvent, has been dumping shares. So those depositors whose deposits were converted into equity are watching their savings evaporate as shares dive.
Moreover, it's not as though they were given the means to get their other deposits out of the bank:
Last year, thousands of customers with money in Bank of Cyprus, including many British and Russians, became unwilling shareholders in the lender when their deposits were turned into equity as part of a controversial €10bn emergency rescue.
Depositors saw 47.5 per cent of their money above a €100,000 threshold turned into equity.
More than a third of their cash was then locked into six, nine and 12-month accounts. Shares in Bank of Cyprus have been suspended on the Athens and Nicosia stock exchanges since early 2013 and only one of the fixed term cash accounts has released all of the money due to customers.
Éxito's Ben Rosenberger and Michele Del Bo, who have previously arranged the sale of Lehman Brothers and Icelandic bank distressed debt, said that sellers had so far been mostly international clients who wanted to extract their money from the island by selling their deposits and shares to distressed debt funds.
Now the bank wants to raise capital, which would dilute the equity holdings for former depositors. What were savings are now not only subject to the whims of the market, but can be actively diluted by capital raises.
Again, we refer to the list we began this article with:
1) European politicians are both corrupt and incompetent.
2) Those meant to assess the risk of any financial institutions don't know what they're talking about.
3) The average citizen will be screwed while politically connected insiders will be given the means to circumvent the law.
Cyprus matters because while countries may differ in specific cultural components, the monetary system in place is by and large the same around the world. And what happened in Cyprus should be seen as a template for what can happen elsewhere.

Get ready, the bank holiday is coming.....And it will be Russia's fault
What happened in Cyprus is the inevitable scenario when any large bank fails. Any deposits in excess of the insured amount are always at risk whatever the country and whatever the bank. If the banks were not bailed in, they would have collapsed and the entire amount in excess of the insured limit would have been lost instead of only a part in a bail-in scenario. Moreover the deposit insurer, in the case of Cyprus it is the government of Cyprus, would become liable for the entire insured amount of all the depositors in the event of a bank failure and the insurer may not have the resources to cover the liability and may itself fail and leaving even the insured depositors with nothing.
Not sure what all this noise about the bail-ins is. Those who trust people/entities that should not be trusted, richly deserve the consequences. Perhaps they will learn from that experience.
A bad haircut, in this case means you have been robbed. That may be the case if the government reaches in over a long weekend and steals money from your bank account.
This is a horrible precedent to set, and the worst part may be how some people are letting it slip out that it would be fair, or in some way justifiable if it is only on the larger accounts. It is fine if it only impacts the savings of someone else, the savings of what they see as "the wealthy", the problem is someday they may come for you. I shudder to think what kind of world our children will live in. More in the article below.
It is not about who is losing the money, the wealthy or the not-so-wealthy. Banks are not mere depository institutions, they also lend. When the parties to whom the banks lend cannot repay, someone has to take the hit. There is no getting away from it. Don't want to be exposed to the risks banks take? Easy, don't keep your money in the bank.
Banks are continuing criminal enterprises...what does it take to see that? Theft? Who still has money in those banks? I mean really. Anyone?
They had plenty of warning.
Sorry, I don't think taxpayers should be bailing out depositers who have more than the FDIC insurance limit in their account if the bank fails.
Note they were trying to take money under the €100K 'guaranteed' limit. So it is until it isn't
You missed a window of time from November 2012 to March 2013.
Apparently that timeframe did not happen or you lost some of your text or your analysis is faulty.
This is important stuff! Don't mess it up!
Overspending utopian seeking governments and the sheep that voted them in deserve a bail in. The "wealth" in many developed nations is nothing more than an illusion. When you say wealth, you are referring to the private sector only and is only referring to the asset side of the ledger. The public sector has spent well beyond it's means to create this wealth illusion and holds the liability side of the equation.
There MUST be bail ins, age and wealth based taxes, and estate taxes to claw back what are in reality ill-gotten gains!!! Future generations should not be burdened with a problem they did not create!
Anyone that withdrew large balances prior to March 16, 2013 beheaded, heads piked.
Banks stole money. Some customers fled early, some not. And you want to behead some of the customers?
Who is the bad guy, again?
Who are the bad guys? Two categories. First those who got us into the mess by way of criminal banking activities. Second those who conspired to ensure that cronies escaped with their ooot thus adding to the cost imposed on the less well-connected.
Queens of Hearts for both categories, I say dear Monty.
Now that I can agree with.
Step 1 tank the markets.
Step 2 raid the deposits.
Step 3 martial law take the guns and gold and silver and all preper stores.
Just saying pillage then burn.
Is it illegal to yell "RUN!" in a bank?
What about chanting?
You better sleep all day
And run all night.
Keep your dirty Euros
Deep inside.
And if you're taking your deposits
Out tonight
You'd better park the car
Well out of sight.
Cause if they catch you in the bank vault
Trying to pick her locks,
They're gonna send you back to Cypress
In a cardboard box.
You better run.
Don't let Yellen run a bank!
Oh they will do it here. Its a good way to kick off martial law?
Thinking they will transfer our money/retirement into myRAs for our own good. We will get out what they think we need, which won't be much because how much do proletariots really need? They will keep the rest for "safe keeping' and for the common good. Makes me feel soooo secure about the future.
If the US did this it's status as the reserve currecny would be severely damaged. I just do not think the USA can get away with bail-ins. Inflation is the way the USA will go. The ECB is trying to protect it's currency. The Fed is abandoning it's.
The US has ALREADY DONE THAT when it forced negative real interest rates down the throats of the ordinary citizen depositors.
Negative real interest rates are the same thing as a "bail-in".
The taper is on and I don't see how shoring up the banking system and government solvency will weaken the currency. If anything, the currency would become stronger, correct?
Luck had nothing to do with any of it.
Bank of Cyprus is selling for .20 euro. So they have lost 80% of the 40% that was converted, for a total loss of 32% on amounts above 100,000 euro. Pretty extreme, but in reality the bank was bankrupt so they are a bit lucky they didn't lose it all.
Take a look at the damage done by raiding the deposits. That sucking sound is thier economy.
Their "economy", if you can call it that, was all bullshit. Borrowing money to create prosperity, instead of producing, will always lead to failure. Cyprus did not earn their success, and they certainly don't deserve to keep their ponzi scheme economy going. Fix the problem now so our children, grandchildren, and the unborn do not have to deal with it.
But But.. Banks are Safe.. They told me So.. Everybody Knows it...
yep, they are backed by the full faith and power of the .gov
Some things are just more equal than others... Yours it seems, not so much. -Management

While it doesn't warrant the fanfare that a 'closer's hot seat' post would on the dawn of the fantasy football season, the Quarterback battles have now wrapped up for the summer and each team has determined their Week 1 starter. They won't all be the man under Center in Week 17 though, and owners in deeper leagues would be wise to keep an eye on the players above, perhaps even stashing them in two QB formats.
There are plenty of starters who are locked in to their roles (barring injury) of course, and you won't see them discussed here but for the 'file this name away' pile let's look at those QBs who start the season on the hot seat and the players likely to replace them.
2014 Backup QB Barometer
Brian Hoyer. Seat Heat: Scalding. Backup: Johnny Manziel. Projected Takeover: Week 5.
With Hoyer winning the job by Manziel simply not showing enough to claim it himself, it feels as if the team acknowledges his placeholder status. Sure, if he comes out of the gate hot he may hold the job, but with the Ravens, Saints and Steelers on tap heading into the early bye it makes sense that we'll see Manziel in Week 5 when the Browns return to the field – the schedule lightens up considerably at that point and this may just be an opportunity to avoid exposing Manziel to tough opponents early in his career. With that said, again, if Hoyer and the Browns are 2-1 at the bye the conversation likely changes.
When Manziel does get his turn, you can expect more of what you saw in the preseason. A Quarterback who looks over matched at times, misses some open throws, and makes things happen by using his legs and extending the play. It likely won't be a great recipe for winning in his first season, but it should be enough to make him a fantasy player of interest when he is on the field.
Johnny Football's YPA fell in the five range in his four preseason outings against inferior competition did little to suggest he is ready to compile strong passing lines against professional competition though he did post a solid 96.0 QB rating when not pressured and he added 99 rushing yards and a score on 12 attempts. Those rushing yards should do enough to give him some useful weeks, the challenge will be predicting when he may struggle to score as the QB we saw this preseason will be anything but consistent on the field in year one.
Draft Advice: As the 23rd QB selected in an average draft, I'll take a shot on Manziel as a bench QB if I'm not excited about my first option. Again, his legs will give him a few useful lines when on the field to be sure.
Matt Schaub. Seat Heat: Scalding. Backup: Derek Carr. Projected Takeover: Week 1.
Derek Carr closed the books on a solid preseason against Seattle on Thursday night, while Matt Schaub sat with an elbow injury. Whether the injury is legitimate or not, we aren't sure of Schaub's Week 1 status and it wouldn't surprise me – again, injury or otherwise – to see Carr starting for Oakland in Week 1. The veteran hasn't looked like he is ready to recover from 2013's downward spiral, and the rookie has looked more or less ready to perform. Like the Browns, Oakland has an early bye so if he isn't under Center to start the season you could see Carr by October… particularly if Oakland starts poorly against the Jets, the Patriots and Schaub's former team.
That the team is hedging already on naming Schaub the starter is bad news for his long term role as the team's starting QB. Assuming he is healthy enough, and gets the nod to start Week 1 the Raiders aren't expected to contend this season so it won't be long until we see the Derek Carr show anyhow. Carr threw for 326 yards and four scores, while getting intercepted just once on 45 pass attempts this preseason.
Thought of by many to be one of the more pro-ready QBs in the draft, Carr will get a shot to prove it at some point this season. He's an accurate passer with good footwork and a quick release, but fell in some circles because of a lack of ideal size (6'2″, small hands). With a limited but intriguing receiving corps in Oakland and a couple of backs who, while on the under-productive side of their careers can catch the ball, the situation could be worse. Carr is worth a look in some 2QB formats.
Draft advice: He simply isn't being selected in any standard format drafts, and there are likely better options ahead of him. That said, if you're in a deep league looking for QBs Carr could easily deliver the most fantasy relevant line of any of the rookies through the full 16 games.
Matt Cassel. Seat Heat: Hot. Backup: Teddy Bridgewater. Projected Takeover: Week 14.
Unlike the two previous incumbent starters, Matt Cassel actually put together a strong summer and managed to cement his hold on the job. With that said, Minnesota suffered some significant losses on the defensive side of the ball this year and despite new HC Mike Zimmer's presence they aren't expected to be able to overcome those and compete. When the season falls apart – or when Cassel struggles against in-season competition – you'll see the rookie passer, who had a flawless preseason of his own, throwing passes.
Realistically, the Vikings could be 2-4 or worse after a tough divisional contest against Detroit on October 12 though I think Cassel survives that initial flurry. After back-to-back division games, and a bout with the Panthers to close November it could be possible that their hopes are dashed and in game experience for Bridgewater becomes the ultimate goal.
In an offense that is enamored with the deep ball, and with an All-Pro Running Back, a solid possession receiver and a dynamic sophomore to throw to, along with red zone menance Kyle Rudolph the offense in Minnesota is better than you'd think. All that has been holding them back is Quarterback play. That said, Cassel actually completed 61 percent of his passes for 7.1 yards per attempt as a starter last year. His 9:7 TD:INT ratio is what go him in trouble though, and what could ultimately be his undoing (he had two multiple pick games in those seven starts, and as the offense takes more chances he's going to make more mistakes).
Enter Bridgewater, who finished his preseason without a blemish, posting a 5:0 TD:INT ratio and a 112.2 QB rating. He operated a pro-style offense in College and should be able to step in right away without the team's stars noticing a significant drop in production. Remember though that there were concerns about his ability in cold weather games, and the Vikings will enjoy plenty of those this year which could lead to sporadic production if and when he claims the job.
Draft advice: Bridegwater is a player to monitor at this point. In standard redraft leagues there are more consistent options available as a QB2, even if he was the Week 1 starter. I think Bridgewater will develop into a solid NFL passer but he isn't as elusive as given credit for behind the line so you'll be relying upon passing numbers alone to generate fantasy production.
Ryan Fitzpatrick. Seat Heat: Warm. Backup: Case Keenum (Tom Savage). Projected Takeover: Week 15.
Update: with the acquisition of Ryan Mallett, Case Keenum is out. You won't see either Mallet or Tom Savage until after the team's bye, but you're likely to see a start or two from each of them to close the season with an eye toward 2015. Of the two, Mallett perhaps has the most upside with a cannon arm.
The slate actually starts pretty gently for the Texans, whose defense could conceivably carry them to an above .500 start heading into a Week 7 bye. However, with it seeming unlikely that Fitzpatrick can keep the offense running on all cylinders and keep the team in the AFC South/Wildcard hunt deep into the season, the powers that be will want to see Tom Savage at some point in December, before deciding on the future of the position in next year's draft.
The Week 15 projection may end up being the week we see Savage take the reigns of the offense with a cameo from Case Keenum in between, as Keenum remains ahead of the rookie on the team's depth chart. Bill O'Brien and his staff have no loyalty to Keenum, a holdover from a previous era, and Fitzpatrick is an underwhelming passer with 83 career interceptions vs. 106 touchdowns. There are weapons on this offense and most are intrigued about the fantasy numbers that a Bill O'Brien scheme can produce, but you won't be seeing them from the QB position this year.
Draft Advice: Nothing to see here with all three QBs.
Geno Smith. Seat Heat: Warm. Backup: Michael Vick. Projected Takeover: n/a.
Ever since Michael Vick took us behind the curtain on the act that was their QB competition, this conversation has been moot. It remains so heading into the season, though if the Jets are hanging around playoff contention and Geno starts to struggle the team knows they have a solid backup option that could step in and help them win games.
Geno finished 2013 strong, running a bit, throwing well and protecting the football and has carried that over to an impressive camp. All reports are that he has grown into the job this offseason and the Jets are expecting more consistent strong play from their 2nd year QB. With that said, New York has legitimate wildcard aspirations in the AFC if their thin secondary can hold up on Sundays and should he falter, the calls for Vick may come.
Vick looked sharp enough this preseason in his own right, and he still has a strong arm and impressive speed. Don't forget, last year he rushed for 300 yards in parts of seven games for the Eagles before giving way to Nick Foles. If he's on the field, there will be weeks where Vick yields strong fantasy outings. Smith can run too, adding 186 yards on the ground over the season's final month last year. If he continues his progression as a passer and kicks in 40 rushing yards per game you'll be thrilled with Smith's output this year… and you won't see the veteran.
Draft Advice: There is an argument that Vick is the first backup worth owning, given the fact that he would be the most fantasy relevant if he took the job. That said, the seat isn't all that hot for Smith. File Vick in the situation to monitor folder in all but the deepest of leagues. Geno meanwhile, is being selected behind some of the backups on this list and most NFL starters. While I can't promise consistent play, and I have him ranked outside the top-20 myself he is worth a look on draft day if you're wanting to back up your QB with an upside play.
Chad Henne. Seat Heat: Warm. Backup: Blake Bortles. Projected Takeover: Week 14.
As with the Vick/Smith, there hasn't been a lot of sizzle to the competition this August with Henne anointed as the starter from day one. The plan is to sit Bortles through the season, giving him time to acclimate to the league and it is probably a logical approach. With that said, he has shown us enough during camp to suggest that if he is pressed into action he can do the job competently, and may even run with it if a Henne injury presents a one or two week window to showcase his talents. Failing that, you'll see him in December.
While many are viewing Bortles' strong preseason as a reason for the Jaguars to shift gears on their decision to leave him on the bench in year one, there is the possibility that the strong Summer is proof that coach Gus Bradley's approach is working. Without the pressure of competing, Bortles was able to focus on developing as a passer and he certainly looked the part. He threw for a whopping 10.2 YPA in the warmup lap, with two scores and no interceptions.
Jacksonville is improving on defense, and if free agent acquisition Toby Gerhart pans out on offense while the team gets solid production from their new toys at WR there is reason to believe that they could win as many as they lose this year, maybe more. On that note, the team's position in the standings will have very much to do with whether or not they change course. If Henne truly struggles, and the team has even faint playoff aspirations Bortles will be considered… if they're wiped out by late in the year, you'll see him get a few live reps as well. The biggest issue for Henne, and the one that could push Bortles into the job sooner than later, is turnovers. He has never had a pro season with more touchdowns than interceptions, and if he keeps coughing the ball up the team may have no choice but to roll with the rookie.
Draft advice: the problem here is that even a great rookie year from Bortles probably doesn't land him on the startable radar in standard leagues. If you want to take an end of draft flyer, there is nothing stopping you, but at most you'll get a 10 game, 2000 yard, 15 score campaign and there are better options available on the waiver wire in redraft leagues.
Josh McCown: Seat Heat: Warm. Backup: Mike Glennon. Projected Takeover: Week 13.
The job firmly belongs to McCown, but with the team seeming genuine in their intent to take the job from Mike Glennon only to let him develop behind the starter as their Quarterback of the future (?) it makes sense that if the Bucs aren't competitive he'll get another turn. The team's be in Week 7 will be far too early to make that determination, but by mid November the team should know where they stand relative to the rest of the league. They may well be competing for a playoff spot, but if not you can expect Glennon to get a turn.
Don't forget, Glennon was actually reasonably strong in his rookie season. He completed just under 60 percent of his passes, with 19 scores vs. just 9 picks. An interesting tidbit: 67.3 of his passing yards were gained through the air, getting very few yards after the catch compared to his peers (just two other passers with more than 50% of their team's dropbacks were over 60%). The point: if he finds his way onto the field this year, with the addition of Mike Evans, there are stats in Glennon's arm and Jeff Tedford's offense.
Josh McCown is a 35-year-old journeyman who certainly looked the part of a starting-caliber QB last season but is no lock to excel. On a week-to-week basis each QB has the chance to be useful when they're taking reps. It should be McCown for the bulk of the season, but given that the offense is built around talented players on the outside, but there might not be a huge drop off when and if Glennon takes the reigns.
Draft Advice: McCown is an ideal QB2 if you're so inclined, as he seems consistent enough to produce usable weekly lines more often than not. you just have to be prepared for him to be usurped at some point or another. Pay attention to the rhetoric, and as the season progresses keep an eye on Glennon if you end up QB needy.
Jake Locker: Seat Heat: Warm. Backup: Charlie Whitehurst (Zach Mettenberger). Projected Takeover: n/a.
New head coach Ken Whisenhunt has a reputation for getting the most out of Quarterbacks. He has no allegiance to Jake Locker though, as he was drafted under the previous regime. That said, Locker has shown enough of the course of his career to suggest he has the talent to lead the offense if he can stay on the field, and while he will be asked to remain a little more stationary in Whiz's scheme, he should have the accuracy to work in the new offense and certainly has the arm strength to take advantage of downfield weapons. As long as he's healthy, he should be good to go despite a strong summer from Zach Mettenberger. There are enough wins early in the schedule to keep the Titans relevant in the playoff conversation through their bye and into December. Nevertheless, if Locker endures sustained struggles that playoff relevancy may also cause the defensively strong team to look elsewhere.
Locker was enjoying his best season as a pro before going down with a season ending foot injury in 2013. That has been par for the course with Locker mind you, and the apparent likelihood that he'll miss time at one point or another suggests that the backup situation is worth monitoring. At the moment, its Charlie Whitehurst who will step in to any void created by injury or performance issues with Locker, as his familiarity with Whisenhunt's system gives him the edge.
Still, as demonstrated this preseason, Mettenberger has a lot of talent. You'd expect rust after he missed time with an ACL injury leading up to the draft, but none was apparent this Summer. Working almost exclusively against second and third string opponents, Mettenberger was excellent in August, with 9.68 yards per attempt and a completion percentage near 70.
Draft Advice: Locker's current QB29 ADP is far too low. That said, you won't necessarily want to pick him… just remember his name if you're racing to the waiver wire when dealing with a QB injury on your roster. He averaged 16.83 FPPG in six 2013 contests, including a four game stretch averaging 21.32. You've seen enough from Whitehurst to know you aren't interested, and Mettenberger is unlikely to move the needle even if he jumps above the bohemian backup.
E.J. Manuel. Seat Heat: Mild. Backup: Kyle Orton. Projected Takeover: n/a.
E.J. Manuel has not had a pleasant preseason, but the alternative here is not all that appealing either. Remember that Manuel is barely into double digit starts in his pro career and as a result, he'll be afforded a long leash. Of course, he has a limited number of starts under his belt because he had trouble staying on the field in his rookie season. If injury befalls him this year, Ortonis the man in Buffalo after his signing this week. Otherwise, this should be Manuel's job to run with this season.
Bear in mind that Orton, while he has shown himself to be a competent enough QB, he just arrived in Buffalo and will have to get up to speed in the offense. He won't be a threat early in the season, and should be looked upon strictly as an injury replacement.
Again, the preseason was not kind to him, but Manuel put up more than 15 points in six of his 10 contests last season. He'll lose Steve Johnson, a productive safety blanket for Buffalo QBs through the years but adds one of the draft's more dynamic players in Sammy Watkins and Mike Williams out of Tampa. Further, the team upgraded at offensive line and he should get an improved season from a healthy C.J. Spiller. There are weapons on offense for whoever is playing pivot for the Bills, and I'd expect that to be Manuel for every game that he's healthy.
Draft Advice: Ignore Orton. And Manuel for that matter. He's not even showing up on most ADP charts. He's an interesting bye week fill in in the right matchup, but that's it.
Robert Griffin III. Seat Heat: Cool. Backup: Kirk Cousins. Projected Takeover: n/a.
Guys, RGIII isn't going anywhere. I know its been a tough summer and hating on Griffin is a popular choice (if you believe him, anyhow), but he is the starter for this football team. Mike Shanahan's strained relationship with RGIII was a big part of the reason he was removed from his job. The new sheriff in town will give him at least a year. Plus, you'd expect him to look bad in his first handful of outings in a new offense. As the season progresses, I fully expect Griffin to get it right and his returning athleticism to be on display. He may struggle out of the gate, but, as he figures out the offense and his new weapons Griffin should play well enough down the stretch.
For all the talk about how Kirk Cousins outplayed Griffin in the preseason, the incumbent starter actually completed a greater percentage of his passes for more yards per attempt than his backup and spent more time playing against the ones. While there were a few issues with turnovers, Washington actually moved the ball fairly well under Griffin's guidance and it was his first game action under a new system.
Jay Gruden is well known for his impact on Quarterbacks, and he just spent three years getting the most out of Andy Dalton. As he gains more live reps under Gruden, expect Griffin to turn around. Given the debacle that was his benching in 2013, its going to take a massive implosion or an injury for him to loose his job. Remember, Cousins didn't look all that impressive in game action to close 2013.
Draft Advice: despite everything above, I've recently knocked Griffin down a few pegs on my Quarterback ranks. He is a worthy back-end QB1 with upside and could easily pay a profit on his QB10 ADP. Should Cousins take the role at some point, he has QB2 potential. Whoever is throwing the ball in Washington does so in a pass heavy system, with lots of talent on the outside and at the Tight End position.
Shaun Hill: Seat Heat: . Backup: Austin Davis. Projected Takeover: n/a.
Unless the Rams bring someone else in, this is Hill's job to lose. The 34-year-old Hill offers the team a wise veteran decision maker who should do a good job of protecting the football and leading a ball control offense, supporting a strong D. Austin Davis looms as his backup, and offers nothing of the sort. You'd have to expect the team to upgrade at the #2 spot, but in either case Hill is likely to be the best 16 game option.
Again, with Hill you aren't getting the player of interest who last saw action filling in for Matthew Stafford in Detroit four seasons ago. You're getting a veteran game manager and nothing more. With Davis, you're getting a player who has never thrown a pass in the NFL.
Perhaps the Rams will upgrade the position, making the conversation relevant but at this point, its moot.
Draft Advice: Don't.

666 is Comcast Sportsnet Chicago Alternate, but that is the channel where you can watch the game on DirecTV in Ames. Sorry--I'm not sure what channel it is in Indy.
Wikipedia says there is a Fox Sports Net Indiana that carries Big 12 sports, and that in some markets it's part of Fox Sports Net Midwest. (I know Wikipedia's not the greatest source, but FSN doesn't have its own website for whatever reason...)

First Look at Lotus of Siam: Impressive Thai in the Former Cru Space
The best Thai restaurant in American is headed to Greenwich Village.
Despite its strip-mall surroundings, Las Vegas's Lotus of Siam is a destination restaurant, renowned for chef-owner Saipin Chutima's accomplished Thai cooking and a shockingly vast wine list specializing in spice-friendly German Rieslings. (It's been called the best Thai restaurant in America.) Now, after months of stealth staff training, Chutima and her husband, Bill, have established a Greenwich Village beachhead in the room previously occupied by Cru. There's no firm opening date, but the duo is aiming to open next week. A pared-down menu retains signatures like pork-stuffed chicken wings and the beef tartare called koi soy, and the wine list dips into Cru's legendary cellar. "We'll come up with dishes that pair well with Châteauneuf-du-Pape," says Bill. As for their popular lunch buffet? That stays in Vegas. Click through to see the space.
Lotus of Siam, 24 Fifth Ave., at 9th St.; 212-529-1700

Got iron? It's an essential nutrient for living things, but it's scarce in the ocean. Scientists have found that a key marine bacterium may have evolved a remarkable biochemical way to recycle it and reduce its iron requirments by half.

Crocosphaera watsonii is named after WHOI microbiologist Stanley W. Watson who, in the 1970s, with colleagues Freddy Valois (left) and John Waterbury (center), discovered the cyanobacteria's abundance and importance in the ocean. Using Crocosphaera cultures maintained by Waterbury and Valois, WHOI biogeochemist Mak Saito (second from right), graduate student Erin Bertrand (second from left), and lab associate Dawn Moran (right) analyzed the bacterium's proteome (the sum of its proteins) to elucidate Crocosphaera's neat biochemical strategy to conserve scarce iron for its metabolic activities.

As you can tell by my countdown timer, we are on holiday. We've spent a few days in Vancouver, BC prior to setting sail on our cruise (we embark today). We are in love with this incredible city, the beautiful Canadian people, the food, the sea port, all of it. Here are a few shots that Herself has taken. I hope you enjoy them. She has loads more, but I thought these were fairly representative of what we've seen. There are no food shots as we'd keep forgetting to take them before we started eating.
This is a shot of the Public Market on Granville Island. We spent a lovely half day there wandering around. We purchased lunch which consisted of dried and cured meat, cheese, baguette, olives... one of our favorite ways to eat. Oh, and dark chocolate salty caramels for dessert.

Not religious enough
Religion | Judge rules that Christian-owned retailer Hobby Lobby must provide abortifacients to its employees
A federal judge in Oklahoma ruled late Monday that the craft chain Hobby Lobby must comply with the Obama administration's contraceptive mandate. The company, which sued the federal government over the mandate in September, does cover contraceptives through its employees' health insurance plan. But the company does not cover abortifacients Plan B (the "morning after" pill) and Ella (the "week after" pill), based on the convictions of the Green family, the company's evangelical founders and owners.
"It is by God's grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured," said David Green, Hobby Lobby's founder and chief executive officer, in a statement. "Therefore we seek to honor God by operating the company in a manner consistent with biblical principles."
The company isn't quiet about its commitments: It runs ads in newspapers nationwide during Christmas and Easter proclaiming the gospel, closes its stores on Sundays, and has chaplains on staff.
U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton (a George W. Bush appointee) argued that business regulations trump the owners' religious beliefs. He described the question of whether religious business owners have conscience protections in regard to their businesses as "largely uncharted waters" and "treacherous terrain." (Download a PDF of Heaton's ruling.)
Heaton wrote that the mandate is not a "substantial burden" on the Greens' religious freedom and thus does not violate their constitutional protections. "The mandate in question applies only to Hobby Lobby and Mardel [a company affiliated with Hobby Lobby], not to its officers or owners," he wrote. In order for the mandate to be unconstitutional, the burden must "be more direct and personal than has been shown here as to the Greens and their management of nationwide general business corporations."
Heaton added that corporations do not have religious freedom protections, whatever the owners believe. He said Hobby Lobby did not qualify for protection under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, one law that challengers to the mandate have said it violates, because the company is not a "person."
The ruling is in discord with three other district-level rulings that said the contraceptive mandate could violate a religious business owner's religious freedom. All three courts issued preliminary injunctions against the mandate. In July, a U.S. District Court in Colorado ordered a preliminary injunction against the mandate for Hercules Industries, a Catholic-owned business. At the end of October, a U.S. District Court in Michigan ordered a preliminary injunction against the mandate for Weingartz Supply Company, another Catholic-owned business. And just last week, a U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia granted a preliminary injunction to Tyndale House Publishers, a for-profit company that publishes Christian material.
The mandate applies to businesses with more than 50 employees.
Hobby Lobby, with more than 500 stores and more than 13,000 full-time employees, is the largest business to bring a lawsuit against the federal government over the new health insurance law's contraceptive mandate. If it doesn't comply, the company said it would face a daily fine of $1.3 million. Without an injunction, the company must provide abortifacients to its employees beginning in January. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, representing Hobby Lobby, plans to appeal the ruling.

Amarok to Better Guard Against Potential Malware
To program an effective virus for Linux is fairly difficult. It's much easier to provide malware disguised as an add-on, however. The Amarok project now wants to protect against that.
Linux users are pretty easy going when it comes to Internet dangers, which can lead to trouble, as was recently revealed in an incident of malware disguised as a screensaver. It's easy to lean back and say, "well, it's your own fault that you downloaded a binary package without first looking at the source code." But the more Linux users there are, the higher the rate that programs are downloaded and installed without much forethought. Security tests may be available, but require a lot of work in view of the magnitude of uploads.
One of the first developers to address this problem is Mark Kretschmann, who recommended a solution for the KDE music player that other projects could also adopt. Even Amarok is an easy target for these attacks. The attacker needs just to disguise one as a "cool" add-on, which Kretschmann claims, for example, could completely wipe out your home directory.
He suggests, therefore, immediately using a version control system (VCS) for all scripts and add-ons. This might increase the entry barrier for prospective Amarok developers, but the detour through a VCS provides a better protection against what Kretschmann calls "crapware" scripts, because all programmers will then know that their code is being reviewed. The scripts in version control can then be downloaded via the Get Hot New Stuff (GHNS) framework in KDE, where additional security measures can be applied. Even if an author manages to inflict malware into the code, the suspect checking it in can still be traced.
Apart from guarding against malware, a mandatory VCS has the further benefit of removing "abandonware" (such as code that was forked and is no longer maintained) or giving it to someone else to maintain.
