Delicious, Filling Crepes Bonaparte. Now, about the Name and Tomatoes...
The PCH: MMMMM
Third entry in our series where we promise to review, for better or worse, every "high-end" roach coach that visits the Weekly's world headquarters. Calbi Tacos-or-other visits us next Monday--when will YOUR mobile food truck come? Inquire with Jessica Ford at email@example.com!
I had a conversation with someone--was it Spencer?--talking about the relative scarcity of crepes in Orange County. Or maybe I don't see them much in my usual galaxy of holes-in-the-wall. Anyhoo, I was skeptical about Crepes Bonaparte when I first heard of it because I figured such a dainty dish wouldn't work in a truck setting.
Oh, I was wrong--gloriously wrong.
Look at the seals lining up for Kogi while leaving Crepes Bonaparte largely alone! Arf! Arf!*
The staff is oh-so-cute-and-chipper with their berets, black-and-white uniforms, and so is the truck--chanson and Edith Piaf on the tinny speakers, a Rollie Fingers mustache on the hood of the truck, an immaculately kept dining counter. Too good to believe, but they produce and produce beautiful crepes again and again, always with a smile.

When they visited the Weekly's world headquarters, I ordered a savory and a sweet. The caprese crepe tastes just like the salad at its finest--velvety mozzarella, strong basil that stays with your burps for hours, springy chicken, with its wheat wrapping subtle and smooth. It was a delicious, fat wrap, and not too expensive. Much better, however, was their PCH--peanut butter, Nutella, and honey. I noted in my dismissing review of Louks that you can put Nutella on anything and it'll taste great, but Bonaparte's PCH crepe used the nutella judiciously, so that the thin layer of peanut butter still maintained a distinct flavor, with the honey drizzled over the crepe adding the final, sweet flavor.
Crepes Bonaparte was so delicious, I have already patronized it again--or, rather, my chica. She also found it wonderful. I just have two problems with the truck, and tiny ones at that. First, the name: why name yourself after the Little Emperor, garçons? Bonaparte was a loser; ustedes, not. Name yourself after a true Gallic victor--de Gaulle, maybe? Hugo? Zizou?
Also? The tomatoes in my caprese crepe were stale and reminded me why I used to hate tomatoes before discovering the wonders of a truly fresh tomato, especially of the heirloom variety. Dump those tomatoes, get some from the farmer's market ustedes service every Thursday, and see you soon. I agree with Dave: EAT HERE.

Hours after Egyptians took to the streets by the thousands Friday, Canadians are set to demonstrate their support.
Demonstrators plan to gather at the Egyptian embassy at 454 Laurier Ave. in Ottawa at 1:30 p.m., in what organizers say will be a peaceful rally.
In Montreal, protesters are planning to converge on the Egyptian consulate, at 1000 Rue de la Gauchetiere Ouest, at the same time as the Ottawa protests.
Egyptians in the Toronto area who cannot reach the embassy in Ottawa are holding a protest at Dundas Square downtown on Saturday at 1 p.m.
In an announcement for the three protests, organizers called for demonstrators to bring flags and asked for both members of the Egyptian community and human-rights supporters to rally in favour of democracy.
Further demonstrations were being planned for Saturday across the country. In Edmonton, a rally for democracy in Egypt is scheduled for noon at Winston Churchill Square, near city hall. Organizers in Vancouver are planning a rally in support of protesters in both Tunisia and Egypt, set for 1 p.m. outside the downtown public library at Robson and Homer streets.

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - Opening statements are underway in the trial for the man accused of kidnapping and killing an elderly woman in Lake County in 2010.
Donald Williams is representing himself in the trial with no lawyer after he fired his public defender in April. Williams was caught on surveillance video leaving a Leesburg Publix with 81-year-old Janet Patrick, who he had just met. About a week later, police found Patrick's body in Poinciana woods.
A jury was selected on Monday and on Tuesday morning the state began calling its witnesses. Williams only briefly cross-examined them.
The witnesses included Richard Wagner, who is a bagger at Publix, to testify about the day in October 2010 when Williams came through his line to check out with Patrick. Wagner testified that he helped the two with their bags to Patrick's car.
In cross-examination, Williams pointed out that Wagner misidentified the model of the car in his deposition.
A judge asked on Tuesday again if Williams would like a court-appointed attorney and Williams declined.
Williams has filed a notice with the court that he plans to rely on an insanity defense. But many jurors questioned how Williams can argue insanity, yet represent himself.

Since, I am known to stir some controversy. I would like to add on for the one of the present issues that hits home in this nation.
"Christmas" Why is it now this word is being censored or even misappropriated?
I remember as growing up seeing the word, Xmas no one back then had a cow over the word. Or Happy Holidays another one that is causing a stir.
I think, really Xmas is cheaply used for something that is viewed as Santa Claus or The birth of Jesus, the Christ.
Using, Happy Holidays is used really at the Thanksgiving to New years but for some reason there is a lot of static over it.
The way each word is expressed should not be mistaken as another blow to American heritage and holiday, as we have become so diverse in our now multi-religious culture. Other religions that do not celebrate these holidays have spoken up at times about why can't some one observe our holiday?
To be right out with it, America is a majority of Judeo-Christian denominations. The Christmas (Christ Mass) is celebrated by to ways one is the pagan winter solstice and the birth of Jesus the Christ.
I rather celebrate it as the birth of Christ and the joy of giving to those that really need it.
I have my moments, with the political side. And I have a heart for those that are not blessed with things that we take for granted.
I would like to close, with the Merry Christmas and the businesses that feel that is not being sensitive by saying, "Merry Christmas" May your conscience bare the same as the one that bore your sins.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here's the deal, if its online gaming your having, i suggest you also have a router that acts as a firewall, and you also need a firewall (local) i suggest zone alarm free, since its good enough, if you don't have the memory though, stick with windows firewall, but make sure you always update your WINXP, as for anti-virus programs, what you want is protection and not less memory...(ram).. anyways i use Norton Antivirus, seems ok for me, saved me alot of times. But i know there are Better Antivirus, such as Kaspersky,Trend Micro, and McAffee All are Better than Norton, its just that Kaspersky doesnt like other anti virus running, doesnt like zonealarm running GRRR, so i stick with my Norton Anti Virus, since it allows me to have both Zonealarm + NAV running at the same time, regarding memory usage, my ZA- uses 17mb ram AT the moment(havent restart in a while.. like 3 days:>?) My Norton uses around 7mb.. but there are alot of diff processes of norton that runs, so i guess to add them all up its around 25mb. Gdluck.!

Sup AnimeSuki. So my Norton anti-virus runs out in about a month. Lots of people bitch about how its a resource hog, and it is, but the main reason I want to change is that Norton 06 hates my fav torrent client, BitTornado. Its probably a stupid reason I know
So can anyone recommend me a new anti-virus? I've heard good things about AVG and NOD32 but haven't really paid much attention to the particulars up till now. Really all I want is something thats simple to use and updates automatically. I don't mind paying as long as it works well, internet security being one of the few things I actually will pay for online. An all-in-one program would be nice (anti-virus, firewall, etc). It would also be nice if they accept payments in £ rather than $ so I don't get stung for handling charges, but thats not an absolute necessity. Before anyone asks, I have no idea what my exact system specs are but its a mid-range Toshiba laptop running on XP. Since it handles Norton fine it should be able to handle most anti-virus software lol
So... any input, recommendations, flames, whatever?

much better than norton, which detects half of the currents malware around the net

Well, I've tried Norton up to 2 versions before the current one, it was ok more or less. I've tried Mcafee up to the current version, after the recent patches, it has gotten much better, although, like Norton, it draws too much memory. I had tried ZoneAlarm Internet Security up to a version before the current (the current had too many incompatibilies, I couldn't even install it). It seemed a bit picky and had its share of problems. If you can get it to work, it's very good though. There's also Trend Micro Internet Security and F-secure, but I haven't tried any of those recently.
Nod is very good, I've tried it up to the current version, it always delivers and it's extra light on the system. If you want just an antivirus and are willing to pay, get Nod. If you want something free, AVG Free is considered very good, although I've only recently installed it on one of my PCs, so I can't tell you much about it.
For firewalls, if you want something free, Sunbelt-Kerio Free version or Comodo are good but they can be a pain to configure (especially Comodo - lots of popups). If you want a commercial one, I'd take Outpost (which is a bit tricky to configure if you're not into a bit of technical stuff), or you could try the various Internet Security packages.
Anyway, if you want it easy, most IS packages has one month trial, there are at least 4-5 good ones to consider, so start the trials, see if they work well with your system, visit their support forums, and pick the one you like (although by the time you finish going through all the trials, if everything goes well, the new versions will come out ). Anyway, if you're going to go with the packages, it's best to try them all and see what works better with your PC. Otherwise, my personal preference is NOD and one of the mentioned standalone firewalls.
I'm currently using Mcafee Total Protection. It's getting better thanks to the patches, I'm currently not having much of a problem besides some minor quirks.
And just for the record, it's good installing a dedicated anti-spyware program. If you want something free, I'd suggest SpyBot-Search and Destroy, otherwise, get Spysweeper.

For my part, I use Sunbelt-Kerio for my personal firewall and AVG for antivirus. AVG now has an antispyware package which can operate in a free mode; you just don't get resident protection and automatic updates after the trial like you always do with AVG AV Free. You just have to manually update and run it.
Another suggestion: Consider changing your browser and e-mail programs. IE and OE are both huge entry vectors for malware of any kind.
No matter which browser or mailer you use, the best thing to do is view any unknown e-mail or website with a healthy dose of suspicion.
Ultimately, the best way to deal with viral, spyware or other malware infections is to not GET infected in the first place.

Lindsay Lohan just can't catch a break. The troubled actress allegedly nicked a pedestrian with her car outside of a Hollywood club early this morning. Allegedly Lindsay Lohan brushed the leg of a man who happens to be the manager of the club while attempting a U-turn while she was surrounded by a flock of paparazzi.
This could be a probation violation if the man decides to press charges and it is determined that Lindsay Lohan committed a hit-and-run. Police came out to the scene after the incident and didn't file a report because the man said he wasn't injured and there were no visible marks.
Reportedly a few hours after the alleged incident the man went to the emergency room at the urging of paparazzi who told him that Lindsay Lohan was a rich celebrity and if he was hurt he would be set for life. Hopefully this doesn't affect Lindsay's probation and at some point in the future these paparazzi start getting arrested for causing incidents like this one.

Google Lowers Nexus One Price for T-Mobile Customers
Customers have the option to purchase a Nexus One with a two-year T-Mobile contract for $279 or without a contract for $529. Existing T-Mobile customers who opted to upgrade to a Nexus One, however, were originally charged $379 to make the change.
"We worked with T-Mobile and are now able to offer the higher upgrade discount to all existing fully eligible T-Mobile subscribers," Google said in a statement. "This price is now $279. Refunds will be granted to all eligible subscribers who previously purchased the Nexus One at $379. This doesn't affect any eligible customers who bought the phone for $279."
Google unveiled the Android-based Nexus One on Jan. 5 during an event at its Mountain View headquarters and later showed off the device at this year's Consumer Electronics Show.
In the last week or so, however, there have been reports of connectivity and support trouble with the device. Google is also charging a $350 equipment recovery fee on top of T-Mobile's early termination fee (ETF) for those who purchase the Nexus One at $279 and cancel their contract in the first 120 days. Despite the buzz, Google has reportedly only sold about 20,000 units.
For more details, check out mobile analyst Sascha Segan's full review of the Nexus One.

Technology firm ANS today revealed plans to build an £8m data centre, creating 100 jobs.
The 20,000 sq ft facility will be in The Sharp Project, the digital media hub based in Newton Heath, east Manchester.
ANS, which has its headquarters on Manchester Science Parks, has agreed a 15-year lease on the space and have the option to take an further 20,000 sq ft in the future.
The firm, which earlier this month posted record revenues and profits, will invest £8m in the data centre over the next three years.
Construction will be carried out by Manchester-based Sudlows and will start in March 2013.
Once complete, ANS customers will be able to rent space in the data centre to store computer or telecommunication systems there, rather than on their own premises.
ANS managing director Paul Sweeney said it the move to take the additional 20,000 sq ft was "just around the corner." He added: "It's great to be associated with The Sharp Project in this way.
"This facility will enable us to grow our business and create up to 100 jobs over the next three years."
The £16.5m Sharp Project has been created on the site of the former Sharp electronics warehouse.
It is already home to more than 50 firms working in the creative sector, ranging from animators to music producers and film-makers.
Today, Manchester council's executive was set to agree plans to expand the hub by taking over a second site at One Central Park – less than a mile away. The expansion will create 400 jobs and see it become home to a global 3D virtual reality company.
Scott Fletcher, ANS chairman and founder, said: "It's been a fantastic year at ANS and this is a significant milestone in our history."
He added: "The Sharp Project has a special meaning to me as my dad worked there in the 80s and I remember spending a lot of time there as a teenager."
Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester council, said: "To form this long-term partnership with ANS Group is another milestone for The Sharp Project.
"To be able to offer a purpose-built, state-of-the-art data centre at The Sharp Project is great news. This is yet another example of the public and private sector working together to drive forward our ambition of Manchester becoming a global digital city by 2020."
Sue Woodward, Director of The Sharp Project, said: "ANS Group is an ambitious Manchester based firm with an eye on the future. Scott Fletcher and his brilliant team fit like a glove at The Sharp Project.
"It's great to have them on board. This facility will be available to any organisation from any sector that has a requirement to store computer and telecommunications hardware off site to ensure their business, which is reliant on technology, is resilient."
Mr Sweeney added: "We literally have customers queuing up for rack space in the Sharp Project ,both from the public and private sectors."

Women with metastatic breast cancer fight for a place in the 'pink parade'
Women with metastatic breast cancer fight for a place in the 'pink parade'
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the breast cancer community, October and breast cancer are tightly bound with the ubiquitous pink ribbon. But the awareness campaign places a heavy emphasis on prevention, detection, and early diagnosis. For women with metastatic breast cancer, there is a sense that the "pink parade" has intentionally passed them by even though an estimated 465,000 annual deaths from breast cancer worldwide occur because of metastatic disease.
The BRIDGE Survey (Bridging Gaps, Expanding Outreach—Metastatic Breast Cancer Patient Survey) aimed to take those women off the sidelines and give them a voice. Sponsored by Pfizer Oncology, the survey collected data from 950 women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in nine countries (see Sidebar, below right).
In brief, 53% of those surveyed said that MBC did not garner enough public attention. In addition, 75% said they are proactive about seeking out MBC information while 51% declared the information they do find to be insufficient. Finally, despite the large number of women living with MBC, most felt that their needs and issues go unreported.
Some of the BRIDGE Survey steering committee (see Table) gathered with Andrew Seidman, MD, a deputy editor at Oncology News International and an attending physician at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and professor of medicine, Weill Medical College in New York, to discuss what the survey results mean for breast cancer specialists. The participants were:
• Elyse S. Caplan, MA, education director, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, based in Haverford, Pa.
• Catherine Glennon, RN, MHS, OCN, nursing director of cancer services, University of Kansas Hospital, Kansas City.
• Musa Mayer, MS, MFA, author and founder, AdvancedBC.org, based in New York.
• Ruth Oratz, MD, clinical associate professor of medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York.
Dr. Seidman: The common theme that came through from this survey is that women with MBC really feel under-represented. As a practicing oncologist, I was not overly surprised by that finding, but it gave me some pause to think about why this situation might exist.
Dr. Oratz: A lot of attention is paid to patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer; a lot of medical information and psychosocial support are available through a variety of avenues: in the doctor's office, in cancer groups, online, even in the lay press. The public face of advanced disease is not out there.
Ms. Mayer: A clear finding from our survey is that in some countries there is a stigma attached to having MBC. I think that fear of talking openly perpetuates the lack of a public face of MBC and makes it much more difficult to identify MBC patients and provide services.
Information channels
Dr. Seidman: It also struck me that these women looked to the Internet as a valuable source of information. Given the geographic diversity of respondents, how many women actually have access to information over the Internet? In theory, the Internet could be a great leveler, but I do wonder about access and how it connects to the feeling of being under-represented.
Dr. Oratz: In terms of the way the survey was worded, this was a forced choice: We asked women what the most helpful source of information was apart from their healthcare providers. While it did turn out to be Web sites and other Internet resources, that was really an issue of availability.

Recently a number of ecommerce merchants and traditional companies have asked us, "Can I just outsource ALL of my payment processing? I've had it!"
At first we suspected that these requests were driven by PCI compliance concerns. As it turns out that's only a small part of the motivation.
Companies are reacting to ever increasing payment complexity – multiple gateways, interfaces to numerous internal systems, complications due to new payment types/methods in order to transact internationally, a proliferation of data standards, and new regulations (e.g. IAT). The on-going IT maintenance costs are motivation enough, let alone the business process confusion.
My colleague Allen Weinberg has coined the phrase PaaS – "Payments as a Service" to describe this.
Here at Glenbrook we're debating what exactly it means – hosted order pages have been around since Day 1 of ecommerce, and are still being used by smaller merchants – but is PaaS more than that? After all, the payment itself is just one small component of the order-to- cash or purchase-to-pay process. What about fraud analysis, subscription support, chargebacks and ACH administrative return exception processing?
If you were to buy Payments as a Service – which processes, services, and/or functions would be included in your dream solution? Let us know in the comments.

Jessica Simpson gets apology from FOX/Burger King
FOX and Burger King have issued a joint apology for a FOX NFL Sunday sketch that mocked Jessica Simpson's weight this past Sunday. Us Magazine reports:
A rep for Fox tells Usmagazine.com in a statement: "Burger King Corp. did not have any editorial input in the creation of the animation that ran last Sunday, and no one from Burger King Corp. approved it before it aired. Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive and we deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended."
Burger King adds: "Burger King Corp. has a long-standing relationship with FOX Sports, as well as an extensive media partnership with the network. The specific content for this sketch involving Jessica Simpson was not developed or aired by BKC or any of its agencies."
Of course, Burger King isn't completely out of the clear on this one because every time I made fun of Jessica Simpson's weight, I was eating a Whopper. You bastards, how could you?!

I deleted a spurious quotation widely attributed to George Washington on many sites, as it has been thoroughly debunked. The link I made in my comment was poorly made though, and should have been directed to w:Talk:George_Washington#Jews where more material on this, with links to debunking pages could be found, rather to than the Washington article itself. Here are some of the relevant links provided there:

7 July 2005 London bombings[edit]
- Whoever does such a thing is not a Muslim, nor a religious person. This is the kind of criminal act that serves only those who wish to destroy mankind, and to thwart civilization and progress. Igniting civil strife and using the tools of war and destruction is the habit of the despicable Jews and Christians of the ancient nations, and the Koran has already deplored them for that.
- Unnamed preacher, referring to the London subway bombings of 2005, as quoted in "Terror in London (4) — United Arab Emirates Friday Sermon: Igniting Civil Strife is the Habit of Jews and Christians, not Muslims" (8 July 2005)
I put this back.--Inesculent 06:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- I removed it again. I don't see what this has to do with Jews. Surely the subject of this quotation is either the london bombings themselves, or religious terrorists. --Ubiquity 12:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- If we were forced to choose just one, there would be no way to deny that Judaism is the most important intellectual development in human history.
- ...it would be a mistake...to ascribe to Roman legal conceptions an undivided sway over the development of law and institutions during the Middle Ages... The Laws of Moses as well as the laws of Rome contributed suggestions and impulse to the men and institutions which were to prepare the modern world; and if we could have but eyes to see... we should readily discover how very much besides religion we owe to the Jew." ~ Woodrow Wilson
- "Certainly, the world without the Jews would have been a radically different place. Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights. But we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of equality before the law, both divine and human; of the sanctity of life and the dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and so a personal redemption; of collective conscience and so of social responsibility; of peace as an abstract ideal and love as the foundation of justice, and many other items which constitute the basic moral furniture of the human mind. Without Jews it might have been a much emptier place." ~ Paul Johnson
Majority of Quotes[edit]
Why are the majority of quotes on this page in criticism of the Jewish faith? (Hoffmanhuffman (talk) 00:30, 29 January 2013 (UTC) = hoffmanhuffman 19:28, 28 January 2013 (UTC-05:00))

It's a known humorous quote related to jewish holiday. Shouldn't it be added? Galzigler (talk) 21:54, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

LG X3 Packs 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Tegra 3, 4.7-inch Screen
Jason Mick
February 15, 2012 10:17 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Phone has a decent size battery, but battery life will likely be less than ideal
LG Electronics Inc. (
) has certainly struggled during the smartphone era, which has led to
some high-profile executive attrition
. But things finally appear to be looking up. The company's smartphone division
became profitable in 2011
for the first time in quite a while. And it's finally producing the kind of sleek superphones Android customers are demanding.
Its latest superphone
du jour
is the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich-powered X3. Leaked screengrabs
just aired, and they paint a pretty interesting picture.
The camera packs the expected fare -- an 8 MP rear-facing camera, 1.3 MP front-facing camera, and near field communications for use with Google Inc.'s (
) Wallet app. But the phone's most impressive features are its large 4.7-inch (720x1280) screen and quad-core
Tegra 3 chip
from NVIDIA Corp. (
). The Tegra 3 is reportedly clocked at 1.5 GHz when motoring in single-core mode, but clocks down to 1.4 GHz when multiple cores are in use.
Depending on when this hits the market, it could be the world's very first quad-core smartphone. The Tegra 3 has thus far only seen action in ASUSTEK Computer Inc.'s (
) popular
Eee Pad Transformer Prime
The X3 will pack a relatively heavy-duty 2,000 mAh battery -- which seemingly further tempts fate. The 4.7-inch diagonal screen (4.10-in x 2.30-in -- or roughly 9.43 sq. in), gives the X3 a power per screen area ratio of approximately 212.1 mAh per sq in.
To put this perspective, the iPhone 4S -- which generally has pretty decent battery life -- packs a 1,432 mAh battery [
] with a 3.5-inch diagonal screen (2.91-in. x 1.94-in. -- or roughly 5.7 sq. in). This works out to roughly 251.2 mAh per sq. in.
Now consider that both the iPhone 4S and the X3 use LG's "Retina" displays (so their power per inch would likely be similar) and the iPhone 4S only has a dual-core CPU clocked at 800 MHz (~43% lower).
To give one more point of comparison, HTC Corp.'s (TPE:2498) Rezound has a 4.3-inch diagonal screen (3.75-in x 2.11-in -- or roughly 7.9 sq. in) and a 1,620 mAh batter, which works out to 205.1 mAh per sq. in. But the Rezound only has a 1.5 GHz
A leaked render of the LG X3 [Image Source: Pocket Now]
It's easy to speculate that the battery life will be relatively bad, but given the low mAh per square inch of competitive Android models, it may just be your typical short-lived Android fodder.
So far the handset has not been officially announced, so price, carrier availability, launch date, and finalized specs have not yet been committed to public knowledge.
LG recently drew attention for its launch of the
Prada 3
. Some may recall that the Prada
beat the iPhone to market in 2007
, and was remarkably similar to Apple's handset in the overall GUI experience, and was the first mobile phone to have a capacitive touchscreen. LG released a follow-up -- the Prada II -- in Dec. 2008, but the model did not see great sales success. The new Prada 3 ditches the physical keyboard for a sleek form factor, which somewhat resembles Nokia Oyj.'s (

Start/Sit Week 1
September 5, 2013 | Mike Braude
QB: Michael Vick at WAS – Despite disappointing many owners who drafted him early last season, Michael Vick opens this season with a juicy matchup. Facing off against a Redskins secondary that allowed the 3rd most passing yards in the league last season, Vick should start the season on a high note.
RB: Steven Jackson at NO – Rushing against the worst run defense in the league last season, Steven Jackson should have a fast jump out of the gates. The Saints allowed a league high 147.6 rushing yards per game, coupled with a league worst 5.2 yards per carry.
Daryl Richardson vs. ARZ – Daryl Richardson faces off against a Cardinals defense that allowed 137 rushing yards per game – good for the 5th most in the league. The Cardinals are also lacking one of their best defensive playmakers, inside linebacker Daryl Washington, who was suspended four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. With handcuff Isaiah Pead suspended for Week 1, Richardson should see an extra hefty workload in this plus matchup.
Maurice Jones-Drew vs. KC – I'm not a big Maurice Jones-Drew fan so those who know me well may be surprised to see this. That doesn't change the fact that MJD will receive a heavy workload against a Chiefs' defense that gave up the 6th most rushing yards last season.
Shane Vereen at BUF – While the Saints allowed the most fantasy points to running backs last season, the Buffalo Bills finished 2nd – giving up 22.5 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. This is a prime opportunity for the Patriots to show what they have in store for Vereen this season – he's an ideal flex play.
WR: DeSean Jackson at WAS – Even before Jeremy Maclin's injury, the DeSean Jackson-Chip Kelly pairing was a very interesting proposition for fantasy owners. Now that Maclin's hurt, it's fair to assume that he'll receive a higher percentage of Vick's targets. Throw in the fact that the Redskins allowed the 3rd most points to opposing wide receivers last season and you have every reason necessary to put DeSean in your lineup this week.
Emmanuel Sanders vs. TEN – I've loved Sanders' talent for years and finally, with Mike Wallace gone, he'll have his chance to break out. With Le'Veon Bell out and a hodgepodge of misfits filling the void, expect the Steelers to rely on their passing game this week. It doesn't hurt that the Titans were ranked 26th against the pass last season.
Kenbrell Thompkins at BUF – After a big preseason, it appears that Kenbrell Thompkins is the heir to Brandon Lloyd's X position in the Patriots' offense. That position comes with a healthy dose of targets. Throw in the fact the Stephen Gilmore and Jairus Byrd are both likely out and this already juicy matchup becomes even juicier.
Miles Austin vs. NYG – Finally healthy and facing off against the Giants, Miles Austin is a solid start this weekend. Last year, the Giants gave up the 4th most points per game to opposing wide receivers. Sunday night's matchup will be a high scoring affair – the type of game you want your starters in.
TE: Antonio Gates vs. HOU – With the injury to Danario Alexander and the Chargers lack of proven targets, expect Phillip Rivers to look to Gates. The Texans also allowed the 4th most points to opposing tight ends last season – 9.1 fantasy points per game.
QB: Andy Dalton at CHI – Throughout his short career Andy Dalton has been better at exploiting the weak matchups than performing against the league's top defenses. He's never played the Bears before but the matchup isn't a great one. The Bears allowed the 4th fewest points to quarterbacks last season while leading the league in interceptions. Let Andy sit this one out.
RB: Chris Ivory vs. TB – This is not the ideal week to start Chris Ivory. First off, he's facing last season's best run defense – the Buccaneers allowed just 82.5 rushing yards per game last season, at a clip of just 3.5 per carry. Only Alfred Morris and Adrian Peterson topped 100 rushing against the Bucs last season. Secondly, Bilal Powell is "starting" this week and will likely split touches with Ivory. For the first week, this is a situation to avoid.
DeAngelo Williams vs. SEA – With Jonathan Stewart out, DeAngelo Williams is entrenched as the Panthers starter. While Williams will see a solid dose of carries, he'll struggle to carve out a productive fantasy day against the Seahawks stout defense. It doesn't help that Williams would be unlikely to see goal-line carries because of Cam Newton and Mike Tolbert and he remains uninvolved in the passing game.
Eddie Lacy at SF – I like Lacy's chances of becoming the Packers lead back and outperforming his ADP but his date with the 49ers on Sunday is not going to be easy. The 49ers gave up the 3rd fewest points to running backs last season while giving up just 3.7 yards per carry. In two meetings against the Niners last season, the Packers didn't have a rusher top 53 yards. The future is bright for Lacy, there simply isn't a lot of space to run or goal-line carries to be punched in against the 49ers.
WR: Kenny Britt at PIT – Last season, the Steelers ranked 1st against the pass, allowing just 185.2 passing yards per game. This weekend Britt will square off with their top corner Ike Taylor. With Jake Locker throwing to him, this is a matchup to avoid.
Alshon Jeffery vs. CIN – While I like Alshon Jeffery for a breakout season, this isn't a favorable matchup. Jeffery is facing an underrated Bengals' pass defense that allowed the 3rd fewest points to wide receivers last season.
Mike Wallace at CLE – Obviously most owners don't have the luxury to sit a player they drafted as high as Wallace but if you do, I would, and here's why: Wallace and Tannehill had trouble connecting early in camp and while Wallace is going toe-to-toe with top corner Joe Haden, it'd be ideal to have a week to wait and see how he plays.
TE: Julius Thomas vs. BAL – There's many reasons to love Julius Thomas' talent but there are too many mouths to feed for him to be consistently productive in Denver. Throw in the fact that the Ravens allowed the least points to tight ends last season and he belongs on your bench.
Thanks for reading. Hit me up on Twitter @BraudeM or post below for any lineup questions you guys have!

Rockingham Tax Preparer Guilty of State Tax Charges
Date: 3/2/2004
A Richmond County woman pleaded guilty on Monday in Wake County District Court to felony charges filed by the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
Stephanie Michelle Hernandez, 29, of 117 Madison Ave. in Rockingham, pleaded guilty to nine felony counts of aiding and assisting in the preparation of fraudulent North Carolina individual income tax returns.
Wake County District Court Judge Paul Gessner consolidated six of the felony counts into one judgment and sentenced Hernandez to four, consecutive six-month minimum, eight-month maximum prison terms. The sentences were suspended and Hernandez was placed on supervised probation for 60 months. Hernandez was ordered to pay a $1,000 criminal fine, perform 100 hours of community service, pay a $200 community service fee and a $35 fee for her seven-day stay during January in the Wake County jail. Hernandez was further ordered not to aid, assist, advise or counsel in the preparation, presentation or filing of any tax returns other than her own while on probation.
The state's evidence showed Hernandez willfully aided or assisted in the preparation of nine fraudulent federal and state income tax returns by inflating the number of personal exemptions on her clients' returns. According to court statements, Hernandez prepared these fraudulent returns without her clients' knowledge.
The charges against Hernandez resulted from an investigation by a special agent with the Department of Revenue's Criminal Investigations Division.

Acceptable Dissociations
Meanwhile the expressway's hum, it roars into
Her, the expressway cargo and tree-lined, stretched
Radio towers, mowers its horns and hogs, its beef
And bread vans, hour after hour, laptop, radar
Detectors from New Mexico, Idaho potatoes, HoHos
And Cheetos, all organic grain-fed, pieces of chicken,
Pieces of cow, slices of pig, kernals of corn, diced carrot,
All packaged meals, she of drums, her mile after mile
Of interchange escape into itself rest stop, progress
Is welcoming and bidding adieu, states drinking
Her progress, passing tolls, Motel 6 she hum as glass
And EconoLodge, passing itself traces of Ashland
And Peoria, Willingboro, Paterson, every inch of it grafted,
Numbered, planted, barriered, mowed, guardrailed,
O my citizen consumers, for the time, infinite,
Replaceable, scaling these walls of sound and motion,
Dipping in, expressing oneself, expressing oneself,
Expressing oneself.
Wonder warships at citizens in blue, the number
Lining the leaf, infinite expressways, and scaling
Blood, soil a Camden, shouting over water Sunday
Steel passing the in and sky noise, another abandoned
By of one to mills, at steel, above bone, gazing (euphoria,
Nostalgia!) citizens, up leaf, citizens, wonder! Infinite warships
Sunday and abandoned a shouting expressways, noise,
Across in blood, steel, lining passing bone, at gazing
Blue mills, scaling the water another number to in
The above soil by of steel up one and sky at the
Over Camden, citizens, euphoria nostalgia!
All along the avenue spronging, tent-like, their attitudes
Way ahead of them. My computer screen, waving. Where
Is your horse? she said, and there was nothing I could say.
What I want is generally tidy. What I get often can't dance.
What wants a date who can't dance?
Who wants a line without rhythm?
Who wants a line without thought?
(I live here because the country I once lived in is now a corporate washroom, where there were once gardens now oil refineries turn night into day and farmers into militiamen—you won't even understand this, and your teeth gleam!)
Once again the feeling comes, like a sprong in the groin, an abundance of feeling that is sharp, almost hostile in its need to overtake. Several women in pink felt it coming. They turned, their pierced ears like arrows in her thigh.
Sprong, sarong. I ask you?
Over the course of several weeks developers wiped out all the trees in a town in A to avoid having them designated as essential sites after a rare woodpecker was found to be nesting in the town. Woodpeckers are not essential. Trees are not essential. Trees are ornamental. Humanity is ornamental. Prophet is everything.
This poem resembles urban sprawl. This poem resembles the freedom to charge a fee. The fee occurs in the gaps. It is an event. It is not without precedent. It is a moment in which you pay money. It is a tribute to freedom of choice.
Reality is a parking lot in Qatar. Reality is an airstrip in Malawi.
Meanwhile the expressway encloses, the expressway round and around the perimeters like wagon trains circling the bonfire, all of them, guns pointed, Busby Berkeley in the night sky.

Governor's office recommends standardizing college president contracts
Florida's Chief Inspector General in the governor's office has taken a close look at the pay and benefit packages of the state's 28 college presidents, and found a wide variance among them.
So much, in fact, that she's recommended that the Department of Education work with the college boards of trustees to create a set of standards to guide compensation and related decisions moving forward. Driving the suggestion are some pretty stark numbers.
For instance, the highest paid president, Miami-Dade's Eduardo Padron, has a total package that's $486,291 higher than the deal of the lowest paid president, North Florida's John Grosskopf.
Eleven college presidents had contracts with automatic rolling renewal, while just eight had contracts tied to performance. Six had separation agreements that would allow their presidents, if dismissed, to get severance beyond what's allowed in law, while four had no severance language at all.
Each of the colleges had the opportunity to reply to the report before it came out. View the full document here.

On the positive side:
There seems to be a lot of excitement around Flex Builder 2 and the advantage of ActionScript 3 in Flash.
If you have not already, check it out the new stuff on http://labs.macromedia.com/
The role of the builder independent of the server has finally provided a stable bridge for the free lance developer (Flash, ColdFusion and Java) to build Flex applications. I know there was a huge demand for such a thing after we launched the first version of Flex and now that it is here and in alpha we all get the opportunity to make sure it is a huge success.There were also some encouraging comments on the direction of the Flash platform and our vision for the Mobile and Enterprise spaces with Flash and Flex.Lots of people seem to have jumped on board to Flash 8 with much enthusiasm although many had not yet discovered most of the new expressiveness features. I am certain many people left Max this year with a head full of creative ideas.On the negative side:I heard some unexpected disappointments about our discontinuing the DRK components. Some people even thought the decision to do so was because we were moving all of that functionality into Flex. (This is really not true. The DRK components were not distributed as widely as possible and required a lot of resources to coordinate their publication. They were normally developed by third parties and so as we moved to ActionScript 2 and more complex architectures the components became increasingly difficult to support. Things like the charting components were not ported to Flex from the DRKs but are uniquely written from the ground up for the Flex environment.)There was also some discussion on the thought that Flex may take over Flash, Flash Remoting and ColdFusion. (This is not true either. Flash is optimal for animation, component development, and that uniquely creative blend of design and interaction that goes beyond the needs of most business applications. Also in my opinion you can expect it to become the platform of choice for Mobile development which currently leans towards very personalized non-traditional UI. Cold Fusion and Flash Remoting have a home too. Just consider it a question of scale. Small to midsized companies may only need to develop a few new applications a year and may have only a few hundred users on their applications simultaneously. While the Flex Enterprise companies may need to churn out dozens of new applications a year, or even have applications custom built automatically based on business rules. They may have hundreds of developers working on applications that must sustain thousands of simultaneous users. This will be a lot easier to do with Flex then with Flash and Cold Fusion. That and they can make use of their existing Java developers to build new applications with out much additional training due to the new Flex Builder. Also don't forget, the midsized companies can use Flex Builder to develop more business application oriented projects and they can still target ColdFusion as their application server. One day soon all of these technologies will work seamlessly together to provide the best possible user experiences online.)So enough of my babbling; what did you guys think? What are your questions, concerns, thoughts about the future?

I know, I know, this blog gives Sharon Van Etten A LOT of love. But that's because she deserves it. Van Etten is one of the most haunting singer-songwriters I've ever seen, and I hope everyone falls in love with her, too. This show is actually two shows at Monkeytown in Brooklyn, one at 7:30 and one at 10. Plus, if you go to one of these shows you will not only be showing support for Van Etten, but for Brooklyn Academy of Music's Sounds Like Brooklyn Festival. A worthy cause. I've included a new MP3 below for you to enjoy.

Remember when Tracy McGrady was incredible and everyone wanted a piece of his junk? These days, it's like the total opposite of that.
A source with knowledge of Monday's talks said the Rockets would have allowed McGrady to stay, but the guard thought he'd be too much of a distraction to the team.
McGrady is making a league-high $23 million in the final year of his contract, and won't be easy to trade given his large salary and how little teams have seen him play this season. Rival teams say the Rockets are willing to take back long-term money for the right trade with McGrady, but no deal appears imminent. Talks could pick up closer to the trade deadline in February when cost-cutting franchises may be more attracted to McGrady's expiring contract.
It's really not McGrady's declining skills or Mr. Glass-esque constitution that must be keeping teams away from trading for him so much as it is his insane contract. $23 million for one year? Jordan made $35 million in one year, but that was back when he was Michael Jordan. It's all about money and contracts in the NBA, and the Rockets are going to have a hard time finding a team who's willing to pay that kind of money this season.
And let's not kid ourselves – any team that trades for McGrady isn't doing so with the hopes that he can play ball at the same level he was playing about five years ago. It'll be strictly to pay McGrady $23 million and then have the money come off the books the following year, freeing up space for Chris Bosh or something.
I wish McGrady well, but with his expiring contract, he's officially entered the Theo Ratliff/Raef Lafrentz status of player. So maybe the Nets?

I ordered 1 pack to test out before ordering large qty. 2 of the 4 were defective and unable to charge (using MCM charger/tester (29-7985) I put in an RA to get replacements and I was sent a new pack. Again 2 of the 4 batteries were defective. I even swapped them around to make sure problem was not with the charger. It was the batteries. I ordered a pack of the AAA version and had no problem, They also sent me a 4 pack of AAA batteries by mistake on the RA for the AA, they also worked 100%. I thing the manufacturer would test the product before shipping. Anyway, I will look for another brand of AA rechargables.

Mathyzenhoop - Four people were killed and 12 others injured when a taxi overturned on the R573 Moloto Road near Mathyzenloop on Friday, Mpumalanga police said.
Three passengers and the driver died at the scene, Warrant Officer BJ Mahlangu said.
The 12 sustained critical injuries and were transported to hospitals in Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
The taxi was believed to be travelling from Denneboom near Pretoria to Groblersdal in Limpopo, when the tyre burst and the vehicle overturned, Mahlangu said.
Police were investigating the incident.
In November last year, 30 people were killed in an accident between a bus and a truck on the Moloto Road near Kwaggafontein.
Another two people were killed on the road in December when a heavy goods truck collided with a delivery van.
Transport Minister Dipuo Peters said last year that there was a plan in place to develop the stretch of the road, which included the introduction of rapid rail transportation.

At this point its not really a question of WILL it rain during the Hospital Hill Half Marathon this Saturday, but rather how MUCH and how HARD will it rain? Oh and what about those thunderstorms predicted?
This year the Hospital Hill race director has decided to introduce a fun new twist to the already very popular Kansas City Race weekend.
Drum Roll Please....
The Amazing Funtastic Hospital Hill RE-Run! Yep. They moved the 5k to Friday allowing runners to participate in the "Re-Run" event by running the 5k on Friday, then either the 10k or half marathon on Saturday. And in true form they are giving out special medals for the achievement in addition to the already super cool finisher's medals for the other events.
I've run the HH 13.1 for the last 3 years and it has become one of my favorite Kansas City Races. Those of you who have followed my running over the years know that there are very few races that I will run multiple times. Its not that I wouldn't love to - just that my racing budget is basically Negative Zero so I have to choose wisely and be thankful for what I get. I'm a big fan of the races I can get to by driving and have been known to couch-surf or camp rather than pay for a hotel stay. Since returning to school in 2011 my 2-3 marathons a year and many many more smaller races distance events has shrunk dramatically to 1 marathon, and usually only 1 or 2 Half Marathons for the entire year. (Usually depending on how many race entries I can trick my family and husband into gifting me for birthdays and Christmas). Hospital Hill has made the list every year and this year will be the 4th.
But this year I'm Re-Running -
No big time goals just running for fun and to help pace my husband and a good friend in each race.
Friday (er today since its way past bed time) will be 5k land with Mr. GiniaQ - Just finishing and trying to run the whole thing is his goal. I'm mostly there for moral support and to make sure he doesn't dip out for a beer when he passes Westport and his shins start to ache!
Saturday I will be running with my friend Ryan who has been diligently following a training plan that I wrote for him (and only skipped a few workouts and only blew the pace plans a couple times ) - Overall he worked really hard and has come a long way in his running! This will be his first Half Marathon and he's hoping to finish in 2 hours or less (I think he can do it if he has a good day) Either Way I'll be there to make sure he doesn't go out to fast and blow the plan early in the race. Wish I would have had that for my first big race!
So, usually this race is super HOT... Seriously, June in KC is not a pleasant time to be running, and the first year I did this race, I swore I would never race in KC in June again! But then I finished the race, "Conquered the Hill" and enjoyed one of the best local race after-parties around. Love the community, the ice cold wash cloths and sponges, the quality medals, the plentiful food, the live music, and did I mention the free beer? Usually I have a sip and pass the rest off to Mr. GQ but hey its fun! Then I found out that they were doing a special build up for the 40th anniversary race and all the medals would fit together for the two years leading up to and including the anniversary (that was last years race)... So I did all three years and BLAMMO I fell in Love. Year two was cooler and I ran a pretty speedy race. Last year was hot again and sadly my nerves for the heat caused me to over hydrate the morning of and found myself in a porta-potty around mile 5 (45seconds that would cost me beating my time from the previous year - go figure). So Here we are Year 4 for me, and the 41st year of this AWESOME Race.
I'm not in racing shape, I've got the distance, and I'll have no problem at Ryan's pace goals, but it'll be a far cry from PR land for me. So Lets call the 2014 Hospital Hill Re-Run a nice little 15.2miles of fall marathon training - cant think of a better way to kick it off!
At least it wont be Hot - should be a high of 79 on Saturday, this will be my coolest HH yet - hopefully it doesn't turn into a swimming event!
If you are Running HH this year post up, maybe we can have a mini Loop-Meet after the race!
Race Reports coming soon!
OH - and I almost forgot!!!! A little late Throw-Back Thursday Photo from the 2011 Hospital Hill event - Me and two other fantastic Loopsters ber94 and Eliz83!

This is what I love about your blog: photographic evidence that not only Arthur Miller and Patti Smith once stood side by side (mindboggling enough), but that she was wearing an MC5 button at the time. This photo almost seems an inversion of the classic photos of Miller and Monroe, while at the same time prophesying Smith's own future Significant Other.

Is there any more tense feeling in fighting games than in Street Fighter II, when both energy bars are nearly depleted and even a blocked sonic boom will spell doom for you or your opponent? Maybe, but because everyone and their grandmother has played and loved Street Fighter II, there seems to be a lot more riding on a SFII victory than any other game. If you want to know how good you are at fighting games, SFII is the yard stick by which you are measured. And now, with Xbox Live Arcade, we can finally see just who the best world warrior is.
At Microsoft's Spring Showcase in San Francisco Tuesday, we strapped on our headbands and dispatched all comers on Capcom's classic arcade game. It's the same old Hyper Fighting you remember. You can use the eight original world warriors as well as the bosses Balrog, Vega, Sagat and the blue-bomber M. Bison. The controller scheme is laid out similar to the SNES set-up and you can use both the bumpers or triggers for medium-strength attacks. The controls seemed to work well, with only the occasional dragon-punch misfire.
There are a number of achievements in the game, running from simple feats like beating the game or using all 12 fighters, to advanced achievements like winning 100 online matches. Perhaps the biggest draw will be the leaderboards, which are broken down by overall rankings, monthly rankings, individual character rankings and consecutive wins.
There are a few additions to the standard arcade and versus game modes. There's a CPU Battle, which is basically a versus match against the CPU-controlled fighter of your choosing. There's a training mode in which you have the ability to record the practice session to your hard-drive in order to go over the fight later. You also have the ability to have your cpu-opponent stand, crouch or continually jump so you can practice appropriate moves. It goes without saying that anyone that uses the training mode is most likely a complete schmuck.
We couldn't take SFII online at that point but had plenty of satisfaction playing the versus mode, which is pretty much what the game was made for. We'll keep you posted on what is sure to be a huge Xbox Live Arcade hit.

"Red teaming" sounds ominous, kind of like a "black list" or something you might see in a Tom Clancy novel. But a red team is really not all that ominous. The term comes from the military concept of using opposing forces at different levels as adversaries to train the main force and shift perspectives. For example, after the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the Israel Defense Force's Intelligence Division created a Red Team of officers with academic backgrounds whose sole purpose is to challenge prevalent assumptions. Engaging with a red team is more an exercise in perspective shifting and eye-opening than in real actual damage to you, your systems, and your data.
A red team is generally defined as a group, usually operating independently, that challenges organizational thinking, perspectives, and systems by viewing a problem or a system from a different or adversarial perspective. The expected outcome from a red teaming exercise is a better understanding of strengths and weaknesses, and from that an improvement in decision-making and courses of action. For example, a red team might play the role of a rogue hacker and attempt to penetrate a system. A different type of red team might test the physical security of a critical location and infrastructure, such as a data center. Employing one might get you the proverbial "black eye," but better from a friend then an enemy.
The advantages of employing a red team are several, but generally the most important one is providing a shift in perspective. Too often, whether it is when putting together a new budget, selecting a software application, building out a data center, or making a multitude of other decisions, we tend to fall into ingrained ways of thinking and deciding. This is especially true in organizations, where we can fall into that organizational mindset or are highly dependent upon standard operating procedures. A good red team can step outside that mindset and bring a different perspective to a plan, system, or security process that can often get overlooked.
The primary disadvantages of employing a red team is that even looking from a different perspective, it isn't possible to cover and employ every possible alternative. The number of possible alternatives for any single issue or decision are almost endless. When there are multiple decision or access points within a single system and then multiple systems combine into an even larger complex system, such as an ERP system, an email system, or a data center, the number of possible attack vectors becomes limitless. A secondary disadvantage is that an organization that is already locked into a strategy or an approach is not likely to see the value and benefits that employing a red team can provide.
