Linda Deister, left, Donna Kirchner, Arlene Walkuski and Chris Beuck weave baskets Sunday during the Wildwood Winter Weave at the Wildwood Cultural Center in Mentor. They live in Mentor, Painesville Township, Painesville and Willoughby, respectively.
For the past 15 years, Judy Raynor has traveled from Alaska for the Winter Weave conference put on each year at the Wildwood Cultural Center in Mentor.
The three-day event -- now in its 21st year -- concluded Sunday and is presented by the Wildwood Basketry Guild, said Coordinator Char Ciammaichella.
About 60 percent of the 63 students and eight teachers come from different parts of the country, including states such as Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Washington, she said.
Years ago, the event was limited to local teachers and guild members, but now it is open to anyone, Ciammaichella said.
Raynor lives near Wasilla, and she said there is no guild in her state, so she belongs to one in Washington state.
"There are different materials and we don't have a group like they do here," she said.
Raynor spent the bulk of her day working to weave a small night-light lamp holder made in Nantucket, Mass., style.
"Nantuckets are made on a mold, and the mold helps you with the shape," Raynor said.
"Many of the molds are called puzzle molds and come in pieces."
She keeps most of what she makes and often gives them as gifts, such as wedding baskets she made for her granddaughter's wedding.
"I love it and the people are fantastic and they are friends now," she said. "It's a great, great thing."
Carolin Mabry of Indianapolis has attended the Winter Weave conference for at least the past five years.
"I'm the type of basket weaver that travels all over the United States to learn different types," Mabry said. "I'm not a very fast weaver. It's a lot of fun; the networking is great."
She talks to many different people to learn how to make different types of baskets and different techniques.
"It's interesting because you can utilize it, you can keep the baskets. Some people give them as gifts," Mabry said. "You can go to craft shows and sell them. I've had mine in galleries."
Her price range generally is $35 to $350 per basket, she said. Baskets made on Nantucket Island can net anywhere from $100 to $20,000.
Hinckley resident Karen Pflaum was finishing up making a Nantucket-style cookie jar.
She has weaved for 26 years and loves her hobby.
"I started in 1985 and my first basket, I still use it every day," Pflaum said. "I started coming here through friends and I thought I'd give it a try. I've learned a lot and it's fun."
The Wildwood Basketry Guild was formed to help stimulate an interest in the art of basketry and has about 40 members.
The group meets at 7 p.m. the third Thursday of each month at Wildwood Cultural Center, 7645 Little Mountain Road in Mentor.

Mired in their worst slump in nearly 20 years, the Detroit Red Wings were determined to end the misery.
Johan Franzen and Valtteri Filppula each had a goal and assist, and Dominik Hasek made 22 saves against his former team in Detroit's 4-2 win over the Sabres in Buffalo last night.
It may have been only the second win the past 12 games (2-8-2) for the Red Wings, but it felt like a playoff victory for a struggling team that came in enduring its worst stretch since going 0-9-3 from Oct. 21-Nov. 16, 1989.
"We were waiting for a game like this," Hasek said. "We weren't playing bad, we just couldn't score the goals. Today, we finally scored a few goals and played well defensively. Overall, I think Buffalo didn't have too many chances."
Dallas Drake and Kirk Maltby also scored for the Red Wings, who snapped a four-game losing streak and pulled 5 points ahead of Dallas for the top spot in the Western Conference.
Rookie Patrick Kaleta and Jason Pominville scored for the Sabres, who lost for the fourth time in five games (1-3-1).
Rangers 5, Flyers 4 - Coming on in relief of ineffective Henrik Lundqvist, Steve Valiquette stopped 17 of 18 shots through overtime and was perfect in the shootout for host New York.
After Jeff Carter's second goal of the game got the Flyers even at 4 with 8:11 left in regulation, Brendan Shanahan and Nigel Dawes scored in the shootout. Valiquette, who has five wins this season including a pair of shutouts over Philadelphia, stopped defenseman Kimmo Timonen in the first round of the tiebreaker and kept out Carter's drive after it hit the left post.
That snapped Philadelphia's three-game winning streak and extended the Rangers' surge to 7-0-2.
Philadelphia's Antero Niittymaki left after Christian Backman's first goal with the Rangers put New York ahead, 4-3, 1:51 into the second. Martin Biron stopped all 21 shots he faced before the shootout and had his three-game winning streak snapped.
Penguins 3, Thrashers 2 - Rookie defenseman Kris Letang had the only goal in the shootout and host Pittsburgh rallied after giving away a two-goal lead and extended Atlanta's losing streak to seven.
Marc-Andre Fleury, making his first start in goal since badly spraining an ankle Dec. 6, turned aside 31 shots and didn't allow former teammate Erik Christensen, Eric Perrin, or Ilya Kovalchuk to get the puck past him in the shootout.
It wasn't much of a homecoming for former Penguins forwards Mark Recchi, Colby Armstrong, and Christensen, who began the game on a line together and were on the ice for Ryan Malone's goal 50 seconds into the game. Recchi joined the Thrashers in early December after being let go by Pittsburgh, and Christensen and Armstrong were traded last Tuesday in the Marian Hossa deal.
Panthers 1, Islanders 0 - Host New York fired 53 shots at Florida's Craig Anderson, including a franchise-high 29 in the second period. Anderson stopped them all.
The backup goalie earned his first shutout of the season and made David Booth's first period goal stand up in Florida's victory.
"A lot went untold there," Anderson said after being saluted by his teammates with a Superman-style cape and a shaving cream pie-in-the-face. "A lot of guys were blocking shots, a lot of guys were collapsing, putting their faces on the line."
Blackhawks 4, Canucks 1 - Patrick Kane, the NHL's first overall draft pick in 2007, had two goals and an assist to lead host Chicago past Vancouver.
Andrew Ladd and Patrick Sharp also scored for Chicago, which is 7-3-0 in its last 10 games.
Although depleted by injuries - six Blackhawks regulars sat out - Chicago dominated the Canucks with aggressive play. Chicago managed 28 shots, while holding Vancouver to a season-low 10.
The Blackhawks are 6 points out of eighth place and the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Canucks are in a three-way tie for seventh in the West.
Oilers 4, Blue Jackets 3 - Ales Hemsky scored the only goal of the shootout as host Edmonton extended its NHL record for shootout wins in a season to 14 and won its fourth consecutive game.
Hemsky, the last of Edmonton's shooters in the shootout, beat Pascal Leclaire with a forehand and Mathieu Garon made it stand with a left pad save on Gilbert Brule to end the game.
Wild 2, Kings 1 - Martin Skoula scored with 1:15 left in overtime and host Minnesota gained sole possession of the Northwest Division lead with a victory over Los Angeles.
Marian Gaborik also scored for Minnesota, which moved 2 points ahead of idle Calgary atop the Northwest, and 3 points ahead of Vancouver and Colorado.

Cloaking Services??
Posted 07 December 2005 - 02:31 AM
I dont have to prove anything as you are the one making the bold but unsupported statements.
Posted 07 December 2005 - 02:44 AM
If you personally accept the risk, that is your decision, and I want in no way to judge that decision. You are a grown up (I assume, as ages on forums are never certain), and you, not I, bare the brunt of responsibility for your actions. Therfore, you should make any decision you feel comfortable with.
But advice on a forum isn't specific, it is general. Other people may find the cloaking risk, and cost, to be too great. It is like the Stock market. Some people like Blue Chips only, and to plod away building a portfolio over a lifetime. Others want the biggest return as fast as possible, and accept all sorts of risks. neither is "right", both are valid, and the choice rests with an individual.
With a website, not everyone wants, or needs, to take on any risk at all, and the level of risk one exposes oneself to varies based upon a number of factors. One has to decide whether to accept taking the risk and proceed with any action, as you have done with cloaking / IP delivery, or to reject a course of idea because of the risk. In either case, ignoring, underestimating or overestimating the risk are far greater concerns IMHO than the final decision.
Posted 07 December 2005 - 02:57 AM
I will go as far to say (based on years of hands on experience) that the risk factor is exactly the same if not in favour of cloaking!! You face the same risks cloaking as you do being a good little boy doing what daddy Google wants you to do. At least with cloaking you have an advantage and have a much better probability factor of comming out in front of the competition, which is what business is all about.
It is wrong to suggest that a web site SEO'd by the book is risk free and cloaking has risks, without looking at the facts. I can however tell you that the facts are clear.....hundreds of thousands of web sites have been sandboxed.....who do you know that has been banned for cloaking?
Posted 07 December 2005 - 03:07 AM
I'm a little confused about what it is, at this point, you are attempting to prove... Is it that cloaking carries little risk? Or that cloaking a site is preferable to not cloaking it?
I believe that a rational person who has operated sites in SEO would argue that no matter your knowledge and tactics, neither of those have convincing arguments to back them up. When the authorities (like Ralph himself, Oilman, Webguerilla, G-man, etc.) themselves note that they have hundreds of sites banned by Google each year, it's hard to believe they have a reason to lie... Spamming (and cloaking) is generally about churn-and-burn - ranking for a short period of time very well, then losing the site and getting another.
I would also say that your statement about potential profits from spamming being greater than not spamming is also ludicrous. While I know many of the high profile spammers personally, and know that they're doing well, they're nowhere near the level of wealth or profitability that can be garnered by the owners of large scale, successful, non-cloaked sites like Amazon, Buy.com, Craigslist, Ebay, Gawker Media, etc.
My suggestion is that we move on to other, more productive topics.
Posted 07 December 2005 - 03:20 AM
However, your point is well taken. I am not trying to prove anything in particular except that too many people on these forums pretend to be experts and simply mislead and create hysteria based on what? Certainley not facts!
I have been a client of Fantomaster for several years now and know the success cloaking can bring to an online business. I at least have some experience on the subject.
Having said that, I thank everyone that has participated in the discussion and I will leave it at that.
Posted 07 December 2005 - 12:48 PM
The system they have developed will by no means give you the top positions you so desire by just doing it yourself.
If you are not sure, give them a call, they are very approachable and have a wealth of knowledge between them, the support is also very good.
I went this route as a quick fix option and it was semi successful with a bit of testing. I may also use the system again in the future, but some of my sites don't need it.
Posted 07 December 2005 - 01:10 PM
{Mod comment: Thread reopened, based on a vote behind the scenes. Respree.}
Of course , DIID is right in that cloaking can be beneficial on occasion. However, there's no denying (by both "parties" - I believe) that cloaking* in itself won't do you much good (and that it has to be combined with doorway pages and whathaveyou to be of value nowadays), and that cloaking --even if used legitimately (think "WMW")-- could hurt your site even if the penalty were undeserved.
Fact remains that cloaking is NOT for newbies. Especially not if they're doing it on their main/only -otherwise whitehat- website. Let's please keep the cloaking and stuff to the seasoned blackhats and the genuinely fearless
* = (sec) coughing up a different page for bots and humans!!!

Quality Guidelines - Basic principles:
* Make pages for users, not for search engines. Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as "cloaking."
* Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you
Qouted directly from google itself.
If you feel uncomfortable publishing your sites URL, or asking google, then you would also feel uncomfortable explaining what you are doing to a competitor, as you know they would probably report you.
If what you are doing is not carrying a HUGE risk, then why would you feel uncomfortable? If on the other hand it was not risky, and had no major problems attached to doing it, you would have no problems with letting a competitor know, or asking google if your site was breaking the rules, or even letting other people decide by publishing the URL
The fact is, you know what you are doing is risky, it just takes one person to notice what you are doing, send in a detailed report, and bang, all your hard work, and income derived from the search engine rankings disapears overnight...
Is that worth the risk? Bet whenu.com thought it was, but they were banned for cloaking, when someone reported them. Now they may come back up in the searches, but so does lots and lots of bad publicity.....
Lots of sites have probably been banned for cloaking, but most of the time, we dont hear about it, after all the site itself is not going to publicly shout about getting banned for cheating is it? Nope they will keep quiet about it, and hope no one notices.
Posted 07 December 2005 - 02:33 PM
Real simple question ladies and gentlemen.....who has been banned for cloaking? Doom and gloomers out there have always got so much to say about the "risks" of cloaking but does anyone EVER back up their statements with facts or is this simply a case of a lot of parrots in a forum cage?
Several months ago Google banned a bunch of Dutch insurance companies from her index. Among these were FBTO, AMEV, Centraal Beheer, OZ, OHRA, Levob and Polis direct. These were all clients of a 'so called' SEO company named Checkit, one of the largest of The Netherlands.
All these clients were banned for cloaking. There was quite a big rush about it back then because these were the main players in the Dutch insurance world (probably a shared marketshare of over 80%).
So to answer your question: Yes, I do back my statements up. I don't know why you are being so hostile, I know my facts before I start yelling all kinds of crzay things, do you?
Posted 07 December 2005 - 02:48 PM
I wonder what they could be doing to improve business - where the "budget" could be better spent?
If these are just online, throwaway companies / domains, then it could be understood (I'll leave the logic to Wit and Geoff - because I know them) but if these are "normal" companies, their directors should wake up to the idea that this is the 21st century - the network has changed...
Just look at Jammer's examples - what more do you need to understand? I wouldn't like to think of the dollar (euro) loss - but I bet some smaller financial services companies are smiling
"Cloaking budget" - it's just so nice - so cute!
Posted 07 December 2005 - 05:55 PM
DamnedIfIdont you seem to have experience of only one cloaking product, which while a very good one, is not the only one, and therefore does not define all cloaking, nor even all the cloaking that fantomaster have performed professionally.
What you are referring to here is the method known as shadow domains. Shadow domains are cloaked pages applied to disposable domains so that they can get banned without hurting the core site. This is what I refer to most commonly as risk management. Not to deny that there is a risk of cloaking being detected, but rather to limit what will be lost if the risk should go bad.
Cloaking has absolutely nothing to do with the core pages of your web site. There is no direct tie whatsoever. A cloaking campaign is run independently using KWs and content relevant to the business of the core site. The only tie between the two is that the highly optimized pages of the cloaking campaign are re-directed to the core site.
Why do you think that was an important development for Ralph to pursue?
Doorway pages are the old term for what you are calling 'optimised pages' in your own earlier quote. The two mean exactly the same thing. Any page that ranks well and can therefore act as the 'doorway' to your site, whether visibly or by any means of redirection, is a doorway page. Just thought you should know the correct definition.
Nothing to do with doorway pages.
A cloaking campaign uses shadow domains
A cloaking campaign that uses Shadow Domains uses shadow domains.
Cloaking however is simply the act of showing something to one group of IP addresses, and something else to another group of IP addresses. Only Fantomaster products use his trademarked Shadow Domains.
Ron, who is about as old in the SEO game as either myself or Fantomaster, which makes him positively ancient as we are, already tried to explain this to you
What you're describing is only one way of doing it, a way dating back to about 1999, and having much more to do with automated content generation than with cloaking. In your example, cloaking is just a tool for hiding doorway pages, and you seem to be mistaking the tool for the technology. That is not cloaking, it is only a single implementation of cloaking.
NB: Some claim that user-agent delivery can be called user-agent cloaking, but to be honest that is really just an attempt at browser-based delivery, and not really the core concept of what we were referring to as 'cloaking' even back in the 90s.
Ralph's pioneering work in Shadow Domains was essentially just as Ron has encapsulated it, (tho this didn't exist anywhere outside of the Adult/Gambling industries in 1999), was to marry together the idea of cloaking with automatic content generation, with inbuilt risk management in that the sites the cloaking is deployed on are not the ones that matter, and are effectively disposable.
It is clever stuff, make no mistake, but that is not to say that there isn't even clever stuff involved in not cloaking sometimes.
As for the issues of what cloaking is for, well I think a friend of mine explained what others are saying here very well indeed.
Ok, so there may be different views on just how effective (and efficient, with the one not necessarily always translating into the other ...) cloaking or IP delivery actually is. However, I fully agree that it's nothing "magical" - alas, no push-a-button-and-you-will-be-number-one-on-Google-and-everywhere-else-till-kingdom-come solution!
So if that client of yours is so desperate indeed and truly believes that cloaking will solve all his problems, I'd positively advise him against going for it because he's obviously quite clueless regarding the SEO game in general. For as Mikkel and Ammon and so many others have already pointed out: it's about business - and it's about the correct use of tools.
I have personally seen a very powerful media company (known primarily for printed media, with a globally known brand) get banned for 'poor man's cloaking' using JavaScript redirects where they should have used Shadow Domains.
Real simple question ladies and gentlemen.....who has been banned for cloaking? Doom and gloomers out there have always got so much to say about the "risks" of cloaking but does anyone EVER back up their statements with facts or is this simply a case of a lot of parrots in a forum cage?
I have also seen many domains in which cloaking has been used eventually get caught and banned. These were not by any means always the core domain.
I will name them for you privately the minute you hire me to do so, and sign an NDA for the priviliged information. For free, you simply get warned it can happen, and does happen.
I haven't operated any truly large cloaking campaigns, so I guess I can't be an expert... :roll:
I ask everyone that unless you have operated large cloaking campaigns for several years and can be considered a true expert, stop passing yourselves off as experts and doing nothing more then adding to the totally misguided hysteria and misinformation on a technology which the search engines do not consider as a threat and are not trying to wipe out with new algorythms as they are with certain linking strategies and blogs
But perhaps you'd like to ask Ralph himself?
I guess what this shows is that professional people with excellent products and reputations, such as Ralph, and such as myself, don't need to oversimplify things, make cloaking into a simple solution to all ills, or try to pretend that cloaking is the only way. There is no time ever that any one approach is right for all cases.
Ammon Johns has been a prominent figure in the world of search engine optimization and marketing for many years. A prolific advisor on all things related to SEO/SEM issues, he's made a well-deserved name for himself on various online fora: I have known him in this capacity longer than I care to remember and never once have I experienced him to be less than openminded, outgoing and incredibly generous in his advice to anyone asking for it.
Nor is he content to simply repeat all those pedestrian tips and tricks you'll find cheaper by the dozen on every corner: while quite unassuming in posture, his knowledgeable, no-nonsense approach is rooted in a very brilliant and flexible mind indeed, making his public and private reflections a veritable gold mine of inspiration to the beginner and the old hand alike.
(If I remember correctly, it was actually Ammon who first publicly coined the expression "search engine marketing" - which really says it all ...)
Anyway, it's a pleasure knowing him and he's always a very good - and very sound! - read.
There was an informative discussion at the SEW Forums a while back I recall well on the topic of cloaking, and of Fantomaster in particular that has a lot of great insights.
Of particular relevance to several of your recent posts, DIID, are several concerning the risks:
do WHATEVER you can to seperate your crap domains from your brand domains, such as
- Use a different IP (preferably a seperate C-class)
- Use a different registrar
- Use a different DNS
- Book the domain in a different name (or use a privacy service)
Don't leave any traces behind you
Still, perhaps they just don't realise they are "adding to the totally misguided hysteria and misinformation on a technology which the search engines do not consider as a threat and are not trying to wipe out with new algorythms as they are with certain linking strategies and blogs".
Couldn't agree more: about 75% of the cloaking effort is about not creating or leaving tracks and discernible patterns to pursue.
And yes, we definitely don't recommend cloaking the core domain or even mixing cloaked and non-cloaked content on the same site. While this may still work on many web sites, the overall risks are plain too big to make this acceptable.

Based on this, would what sites like Salon.com, NYTimes.com, WSJ.com, etc. do (allowing Googlebot to view articles, but users to register) be considered cloaking? Or is there another term for that type of bait-and-switch?
Posted 08 December 2005 - 07:36 AM
That's an excellent question. What I particularly like about the question is that it requires us to examine several perspectives.
would what sites like Salon.com, NYTimes.com, WSJ.com, etc. do (allowing Googlebot to view articles, but users to register) be considered cloaking?
You see, the question, as phrased, certainly as regards the NYT, takes the perspective of an unregistered person visiting the NYT, and makes the assumption that googlebot must also be unregistered. If Googlebot were a registered user of the NYT, would there be any bait and switch at all? Since registration is free, has it ever occurred that just maybe, someone at the NYT offered Googlebot a free registration and it was accepted?
That second perspective does change things just enough to make the question a lot more interesting I think. Is this cloaking from the perspective of a registered user? They will see exactly what googlebot indexed.
Personally, yes I would still regard it as cloaking, without a doubt. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and to make the registration truly free, you'd have to create a throwaway email address and disposable registration details or it would not be free, but would instead cost you your anonymity and privacy.
However, my personal perspective obviously isn't the one that Google engineers went with. You can be sure they know about it, thought about the issues, and made a judgement call. Google doesn't ban it, and therefore decided it wasn't cloaking in the forbidden sense.
What ought to be worrying the NYT though is that such a judgement call can later be revised and reversed. Perhaps today will be the day that someone at Google will reexamine the issue and come down on the other side of that judgement call, and the entire contents of the NYT disappear from Google. I guess the NYT feels that they are too important for Google to do that. They would not be the first to be wrong in that assumption though.

Posted 08 December 2005 - 08:20 AM
However, the issue of these magazine / press sites that let Google look at the content but force everyone else to either buy a subscription or at least register, has bothered me for a long time.... If theres one thing I hate it is having sites listed with snippets matching exactly what I'm looking for, only to find out I can't even see the context of the snippet! <grrrr> I understand that spammy gibberish sites can produce the same results, but when you see something like WSJ, NYT, etc. as the site name, you might actually be interested in looking at the article Google is showing you part of... without having to go through a registration process, etc.
I don't care if they donated a free account to the Googlebot - I just want access to the page and expect to see the snippet somewhere on the page that is linked.
IMHO it's worse when an authoritive site cloaks like that than when a spammer does so - at least you know the spammer is trying to trick you and has nothing interesting to show to you....
Posted 08 December 2005 - 11:40 AM
you should be able to view the cached version of the page to see the article without registering.

you should be able to view the cached version of the page
Having your pages cached is optional.
Posted 08 December 2005 - 05:05 PM
I would certainly hope that to be the case, because it really does annoy users to be tantalised with snippets that they cannot access without making a deal, selling their privacy, or shelling out cash.
Google has made itself a part of deceptive listings with this issue, and deceptive listings are the most common base-line definition of spammy SEO.
Posted 08 December 2005 - 05:56 PM
Posted 08 December 2005 - 06:07 PM
Personally, I am OK with the subscription info being crawled, as long as it is labelled as such. Google News does that, and IMHO that puts the decision on me as to whether or not to click through and jump through hoops, without needing to remove from the index what is oft times valuable content.

Lock and Dam 21 stays open during government shutdown
Tue, 01 Oct 2013 16:28:16 GMT —
Government services across the country are shut down because of the budget debate in Washington.
But one service that is still in operation is
Lock and Dam 21 in Quincy
Because the river is so important to the national economy, the lock and dam has to stay functional at all times.
The shutdown is coming at one of the busiest times for the lock and dam.
From October to mid December the locks stay busy as fields are harvested and the grain is transported down river.
But lockmaster James McDaniel says that even though the lock and dam will stay open he and his team are not getting paid.
"We will eventually get paid but as of now our paychecks will not come to us until they resolve the issues in Congress or Washington D.C." McDaniel said.
McDaniel says that employee vacations were also canceled.
He also says the federal government provides just a bare minimum of emergency financial support to keep the lights on and keep the lock and dam running.
Elsewhere, signs of the government shutdown are popping up in other parts of the Tri-States.
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development office at 338 S. 36th St. closed Tuesday.
The Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds at at Mark Twain Lake also closed.

Social Question
When chatting to a person who doesn't have the same native language, should you write in clear, formal language or is it useful to use colloquialisms?
Asked by DaphneT (5728) July 14th, 2012
The person I'm chatting with is about 18, so his grasp of the English language is good, but it's not his native language. I don't have any grasp of his language, so I feel that translating a colloquialism may be beneficial to him sometimes and at other times, not so beneficial. However, I have no way to judge that, and I don't want to insult him. If you've experienced this, do you have any suggestions?

LOS ANGELES — BookExpo America brought together almost 30,000 publishers, authors, booksellers, librarians and journalists recently to praise the book and bewail its declining role in American culture. • Also to party: The hottest invitation was to a private concert at Prince's Los Angeles home. Yes, Prince is writing a book. • Here's what some of the non-rock-star authors at BEA, the largest such convention in North America, had to say about their craft. Florida was represented by many full- or part-time resident writers, including Judy Blume, Dennis Lehane and Ted Turner.
"This is very liberating for me. Usually I have to speak after Dave Barry, and he makes everything I write about farting and leprechauns seem shallow."
— Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox), children's book author
"I warn parents at book signings: Don't tell your kids these were your favorite books — you'll just turn them off."
— Judy Blume (Going, Going, Gone! With the Pain & the Great One), bestselling author of kids' books for more than 40 years
"We're the first generation in the history of the world that will have to learn to think like Noah. . . . We are the flood, and we are the ark."
— Thomas Friedman (Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution — and How It Can Renew America), New York Times op-ed columnist
"Everybody told me, no way minorities will pay $4 for a cup of coffee. We'll pay $4 for coffee. We just don't know what a scone is. So I got rid of the scones, put in sweet potato pie, pound cake, sock-it-to-me cake."
— Magic Johnson (Urban Magic: 32 Ways to Succeed in Business), basketball star turned businessman, on how he runs his 116 Starbucks
"Now I'm pissed off. I want sock-it-to-me cake. They don't have sock-it-to-me cake at the Starbucks where I live on the Upper East Side. Those racists."
— Alec Baldwin (A Promise to Ourselves: Fatherhood, Divorce, and Family Law), star of NBC's 30 Rock
"It's hard writing satire in America today. You're up against American reality."
— Christopher Buckley (Supreme Courtship), novelist
"I started Daily Kos six years ago last Monday, so in Internet years I'm about 37,000 years old."
— Markos Moulitsas Zuniga (Taking On the System: Rules for Radical Change in a Digital Era), founder of DailyKos.com
"You don't see as many bodies in the street as you used to."
— Richard Engel (War Journal: My Five Years in Iraq), NBC Middle East bureau chief, on how the war in Iraq is going
"My book has a chapter on integrity. Ted Turner never got indicted, like all those guys at Enron. I never got caught cheating on my taxes. I can't say I never got caught cheating on my wives."
— Ted Turner (Call Me Ted), billionaire
"The lowest-rated rerun of Two and a Half Men, the one where Alan gets hurt and Charlie has to handle it alone — more people will see that than will ever read The Kite Runner. The difference is no one will remember it. And they'll remember the book."
— Dennis Lehane (The Given Day), author of Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone

OSCAR celebrities made the most of Estee Lauder's spa at Hollywood's FOUR SEASONS hotel, but Jennifer Lopez insisted they went to her.
According to insiders, J.LO asked the cosmetics firm's top touch-up experts to come to her, while OSCAR hopefuls Adrien Brody and Kathy Bates weren't quite so fussy.
THE PIANIST star Brody, who was one of the first stars to arrive at the Academy Awards, had a full body spray paint tan applied so he looked as golden as an OSCAR statue, and Bates enjoyed a pedicure.

The Sooners haven't lost an exhibition game in nine years, and they weren't about to start Wednesday night.
Not in front the likes of former Oklahoma men's basketball players Alvan Adams, Bob Pritchard, Mike McCurdy and Jerry Vest, and not in front of a crowd of tie-dyed OU fans who witnessed the first game in McCasland Field House in over a decade.
Oklahoma routed Division-II Central Oklahoma 94-66 in its final preseason game of the year. 13 players scored points for Oklahoma, but none more than freshmen guard Buddy Hield who came off the bench to lead all scorers with 19 points.
SCOOPHD: RJ Young and Eddie Radosevich break down the exhibition schedule
"Buddy is going to bring that aggressiveness regardless if he starts or comes off the bench," said OU men's basketball coach Lon Kruger. "Obviously he is playing well enough to be a guy who jumps in there as a starter."
Whoop, there it is.
Hield has been Oklahoma's leading scorer during the preseason. He attacks the basket well and has proven he is a consistent shooter from long range.
But just because he's good enough to start doesn't mean he will start or needs to start. His burst of energy has been welcome when the starting five have slowed, and coming off the bench doesn't bother him at all.
Hield is focused on making sure he's ready when Kruger calls his name.
"I just want to help the team, do what is best for the team, win every game and do what Coach Kruger wants me to do," he said.
Hield shot 7-of-13 from the floor, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range, in 22 minutes. Still, he insisted it was difficult for him to find the bottom of the net.
"No, it wasn't easy shooting," he said. "Coming in from a different gym, shooting in the practice gym and then the Lloyd Noble - and then you come in here and shoot. It was a lot different."
Freshman guard Je'lon Hornbeak started for the second consecutive game, and scored 15 points on 4-of-6 shooting. Yet he agreed it was hard to shoot in such an unfamiliar environment.
"It's always a little different coming into a (different) gym," Hornbeak said. "We didn't really get to warm up here - shoot around - like we normally do, but I feel like we shot the ball pretty well."
The Sooners shot just 40.3 percent from the floor and just 30 percent from 3-point land, a stark dive from the 50 percent they shot from distance against Division-II Washburn last Friday. Oklahoma also turned the ball over 17 times, and converted just 33-of-43 free-throw attempts.
OU will almost certainly have better statistical shooting games, but the players might not have more fun than they did playing in the close confines of the field house with fans sitting almost on top of them.
Junior forward Amath M'Baye was all smiles while he spoke about the atmosphere during the postgame press conference. He scored 11 points in 18 minutes while ripping down five rebounds and recording four blocks.
"Everyone was around us and we could hear everything," M'Baye said. "It was fun, and I'm glad the crowd showed up. That's something I would like to do again."
Kruger was pleased with his team, and said he likes the idea of playing "10 to 11 guys" during the non-conference schedule, but whether he keeps playing that many men is up to them.
"Guys know we want to play a lot of people," Kruger said. "So if they step in and do the things necessary and get the production necessary there is no reason to shorten up. They will determine that by how they're playing and their production and the little things meshed together."

Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) issued the following statement in reaction to President Obama's State of the Union Address to Congress:
"President Obama offered a strong agenda to addressing some of our nation's most challenging problems. I was encouraged to hear his emphasis on creating jobs, rebuilding our economy and working together to stem violence in our culture.
"The president's jobs agenda must be acted on by this Congress. As the president noted, manufacturing has been a bright spot for our nation's economy and we should continue to take steps to encourage American businesses to make their products here in America. Manufacturing can continue to be a driver of our economy and we should work together to foster growth.
"I was also pleased to hear President Obama make a commitment to working to reform our energy future and address climate change. He rightly noted that weather events like Superstorm Sandy, which devastated so much of Jersey Shore, are a frightening indication of the power of climate change and why we can and must take action while we can still make a positive impact. I agree with the president's position that we must take steps to expedite the transition to alternative energy, which will be good for our planet and our economy.
"As the president said, energy is "just one part of an aging infrastructure' that needs to be addressed. I was excited to hear the president talk about his "Fix it First' and "Partnership to Rebuild' plans. These could be positive steps that could create jobs while rebuilding our nation.
"The most important thing we can do for the future of our nation is to provide the best education in the world to our children and I was interested to hear President Obama's proposals on improving our education system. We need to create new opportunities for our children to continue to be competitive in the global economy.
"President Obama also touched on the challenging issue of immigration reform and the need to address poverty in the wealthiest nation on Earth by calling for an increase in the federal minimum wage. We need to improve wages in the United States so that we working families can gain access to the middle class.
"Along with improved wages, must come equality and fairness when it comes to earning, which is why equal pay for equal work continues to be critical for improving our economy. Women must earn the same wages as men for the same work and not have to worry about discrimination in the work place. I was also encouraged to hear the president call to the Violence Against Women Act that passed in the Senate today and I look forward to voting for in the House.
"President Obama's commitment to continuing to ensure our nation's security while working to finish our job in Afghanistan will also be critical to strengthening the country. He noted that we face a different set of challenges now, so it is time to consider reducing nuclear weapon stockpiles while improving our security against cyber threats.
"The President also touched on critical issues like equality and improving voting rights. I agree that we can and must find solutions to these pressing issues in the 113th Congress.
"Finally, I stand with President Obama and plan to work with him to prevent gun violence in our nation. We cannot lose more innocent lives to gun violence in this country and we need to work together to find develop a plan that protects all Americans.
"President Obama's State of the Union address set out bold plans for his presidency and the 113th Congress. Many of the president's initiatives can be achieve with a bipartisan approach. Democrats and Republicans must work together to achieve these common goals and I look forward to addressing our nation's challenges head on with my colleagues in Congress."

Travel clothing company ScotVest has revealed a pair of boxer shorts fitted with a pocket designed to hold your iPhone.
Now you may be wondering why you'd need an iPhone holder in your underwear? What sort of situation would arise when all you have is your boxershorts and your iPhone and a pair of occupied hands. ScotVest's CEO handily explains:
"Like a lot of guys, I sleep with my iPhone on the nightstand. But in between using the phone as a nightlight to find the bathroom, making coffee in the morning and checking my email, there was no place to put my phone."
So there you have it, an iPhone holder for people who like strutting around in their underwear. We guess this means the mobile phone radiation scare has well and truly been put to bed. Here's a video showing the boxer shorts 'in action.'

|Official Title:
|Acute Regulation of Intestinal and Hepatic Lipoprotein Production by Glucagon
- Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein production rate [ Time Frame: 0-10 hours ]
|Study Start Date:
|June 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: high glucagon
For one of the two studies to be performed in random order, the subject will receive an infusion of glucagon at a dose that has been shown to achieve high physiological plasma levels. The IV glucagon will be administered at a rate of 3ng/kg/min.
Drug: glucagon
glucagon 3ng/kg/min
Other Name: glucagon 0.65ng/kg/min
Experimental: low glucagon
For one of the two studies to be performed in random order, the subject will receive an infusion of glucagon at a low rate that is designed to mimic basal plasma glucagon concentration. The IV glucagon will be administered at a rate of 0.65ng/kg/min.
Drug: glucagon
glucagon 3ng/kg/min
Other Name: glucagon 0.65ng/kg/min
Detailed Description:
Potential role of glucagon in intestinal and hepatic lipoprotein production. Although glucagon, the main hormone that opposes insulin action, is known to exert profound effects on carbohydrate (stimulation of hepatic glucose production) and fatty acid metabolism (stimulation of hepatic b-oxidation and ketogenesis), its potential role in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism has been largely overlooked and the mechanism whereby glucagon modulates hepatic lipid metabolism in humans has not previously been examined. Longuet et al recently showed that glucagon receptor (Gcgr) signaling is essential for control of hepatic lipid homeostasis in mice (44). They showed that Gcgr-/- mice exhibit higher plasma TG levels and increased hepatic TG production compared to littermate controls. Conversely, glucagon administration to wildtype mice decreased hepatic lipid production and plasma TGs. A combination of microarray and RealTime PCR analyses demonstrated that a period of fasting increased the expression of genes regulating fatty acid b-oxidation in +/+ but not in Gcgr-/- mice. Furthermore, exogenous glucagon administration mimicked the increase in expression of enzymes involved in b-oxidation during fasting in +/+ mice. Enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis were not regulated by exogenous glucagon. Gcgr-/- mice were much more susceptible to the accumulation of lipids in the liver, known to be associated with the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. To date, glucagon regulation of intestinal lipoprotein production has not been examined in animals or humans.
There is convincing evidence from mouse studies that glucagon plays a major role in the regulation of hepatic lipoprotein production and may also play a role in intestinal lipoprotein assembly and secretion. Ours will be the first study to examine the role of glucagon in hepatic and intestinal lipoprotein production in humans. Since inhibition of glucagon receptor activity is currently being explored as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, our study will provide important information regarding potential implications of this therapeutic approach for control of lipid homeostasis and general metabolic health.

The New York City Assembly recently "hailed" legislation that may prove "golden" for livery cabs.
The bill — passed on January 23 and carried by Assemblymember Carl Heastie from the Bronx — will allow the city to issue 18,000 hail accessible inter-borough licenses (HAIL), which permit livery cab drivers to pick up pedestrians. Twenty percent of the licenses will go to accessible vehicles, in order to offer more transportation options to citizens with disabilities. The legislation has already been agreed upon with Governor Andrew Cuomo and the state.
"For too long, persistent transportation problems within New York City have gone unanswered, leading to a nearly nonexistent taxi presence outside of Manhattan's Central Business District and a troubling lack of vehicles for people with disabilities," said Assemblymember Francisco Moya, who co-sponsored the bill. "This new plan will afford New Yorkers in underserved areas greater access to taxicab service in and around the city. This will also lead to more revenue for the city of New York, helping protect vital programs for seniors and hardworking families."
Under the legislation, the city will issue the new licenses over the next three years. New York will also be authorized to issue as many as 450 new base permits, increasing the number of taxi dispatching services and generating $1.3 million in revenue.
In addition, the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) will issue 2,000 new taxicab licenses for vehicles that are accessible to people with disabilities. As part of the agreement, TLC will also be required to provide grants of up to $15,000 to retrofit HAIL vehicles to accommodate people with disabilities and establish a program to support the introduction of handicapped-accessible vehicles into the HAIL vehicle fleet.
Despite the vast support the bill reportedly received in the Assembly, Fernando Mateo, the founder and spokesperson for the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, is unsure if the increase in HAIL's will have a positive effect.
"This is a bill that the governor has signed, and we expected some amendments to be made by the Assembly and Senate," Mateo said. "We are no longer going to oppose what has been done. Instead we will assist those drivers who want to participate in the program. We believe the program has a lot of pluses and minuses. In the last 80 years, there have been only 13,400 yellow medallions issued, so it is questionable in my mind whether they can sell even near the 18,000 licenses they will issue. The math doesn't add up, and it doesn't make much sense. But let's see what will happen."

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror - Episode 1 Walkthough
SYPHON FILTER: DARK MIRROR Episode 1, Part 1 - 3 Walkthrough <Episode 1, Part 1> 'Insertion Point Alpha' --You start off leaning against a wall. Peek around the corner, and once the guy walking leans down to look at the dead body, walk up to him and snap his neck. Next, move back a little so you're in range of the Squad Commander. Pull out your MB-150, and shoot the Squad Commander in the head. Then walk around the corner and then past the other corner. Once you see the technician fall and die, walk up to one of the pillars on the left, and lean on it. Peek around it, and you will see a guy start moving towards you. Another will come following behind him. Shoot the explosive barrel, they will both die, and then many others will start coming towards you. Kill all of them (I prefer using the Spectre). Once you have killed all of them, go to the gate and Teresa will say, "Gabe, there must be a way to break that lock. Try using your EDSU goggles. You don't have to, just shoot the little lock in the middle of the gate on the right and it will fly open. Next, slide down the ladder and take a right. Sneek behind the terrorist trying to find you, and snap his neck. If he notices you, just shoot him. Then you will see another ladder. Climb up it and take a left. There will be a guy who steps out. If you shoot at him, he will quickly go back into doorway. If he does, just go kill him in any way possible. Once you kill him, continue going left until you see another ladder. Climb up it, and then take a right. A guy will be running down the way you came from. You will be able to shoot him through the fence. Climb up the next ladder and kill the guy standing on top of the roof in front of you. Continue going and climb up the next ladder. After the video, climb up to the top and open the distillation column valve by pulling on lever before it overloads. After that a video will come up. When you walked over to pull the lever, you should have picked up the Dragunov SVD. Use that to snipe all of the people who try to attack Lian. If you run out of ammo, use your MB-150. Press select to tell Lian to move. If she doesn't, the area is not clear. Once you complete that part, Lian will slide down a zipline. She will set one up for you. Use the zipline to slide down to Lian, and you're done with Part 1. <Episode 1, Part 2> 'Red Jack' --You will star off leaning against a wall. Get off the wall, duck, and move a little forward. A guy will be shooting at you all the way on the other side. Take out your MB-150 and shoot him in the head. Continue moving, still ducking, and a guy will be on a turret. Lean up against the pillar a little bit in front of you and get your aiming assist right on his head. Quickly, lean up and shoot. Once you do that, move back a little and get onto the line using your RTL. Slide across and then stop about 2/3 of they way there, and then a guy will pop out and he will start running towards you. Kill him, and then go all the way across the line and get off. Continue down the walkway and then take a left around the corner. Once you're at the end of the walkway, there should be a place to use your RTL. Use it to get all the way across, and then take a right all the way down the walkway and then a guy will pop out. Kill him and proceed to take a left into the door to the security computer. There will be two guys in there, so be careful. Kill the two guys. The security computer appears to not be working. Turn on your EDSU goggles and then look for the override switch. Once you turned on the override switch, go back to the computer and you should be able to access it. In the video that you watch after that, you'll notice that two guys will be coming to check it out. Quickly go behind the table, ducking, and lean up against it (if the table is standing up, you should be able to kick it down by pressing 'up'). One guy will bust open thE door. Kill them both, and then walk outside. There will be a guy across from you with a sniper. Kill him, and then move on back up the walkway. Once your at the edge of the walkway, where there is a spot to use your RTL, climb down the ladder. Many, many, many guys will come out. You will have to take a lot of cover to kill all of them. Most of them will be on the ground where you are, but there will be about two on the walkway above the elavator. After you have killed them all, go up to the switch next to the elavator, activate it, the elavator will come up, and then Red Jack will be on it. The way to deafeat Red Jack is to shoot at the flamethrower pack on his back. The best time to shoot at it is when he's reloading. Once you've killed him, you're dne with Part 2 <Episode 1, Part 3> 'Finding Freeman' --Be very quiet. Walk around the corner in front of you and there will be a guy standing there. Walk up to the switch to the right of when you first walk around the corner and activate it. It will shock the guy to death. Keep moving and you will see a flame shooting out of a valve. Above you, there is a place to use your RTL. Link up to it, and slide across. There will be another flame in front of you, once you start going with your RTL. Wait until the flame stps and then quickly move across. Once your all the way at the other side, there will be a little air duct. Shoot the lock at the top of it, and then start crawling through it. Take a right once you enter. There will be a flame shooting out of a valve. Shoot the red switch to the right of it. The flame will stop, and then you should be able to get out of the air duct. It will be very dark, so you should turn on you NV (Night Vision) goggles. Climb up on top of the cage and there will be another air duct for you to enter. Go inside of it. The door will close, and you will need to open it. Look to the left. You will see one fan moving and one fan not moving. Look through the left of the fan that isn't moving, take off your NV goggles, and shoot at the red switch. Put your NV goggles back on, and proceed through the door that you had just opened. Keep moving and you will see a man trying to get something out of a vending machine. Take out a silenced weapon and shoot him in the head. Get out of the air duct and quietly move forward. Lean up against the edge of the first wall, and try to kill the one guy standing there. Once you kill him, walk up and you will see another guy trying to fix the TV. Walk up behind him and slit his throat. A few other guys will be standing around the corner, kill them, walk down the hall, and into the elavator. And then you should be done with Part 3.

How: Email Collector by company: Drop Storage
LEADSExplorer can store email from/to your contacts and automatically associate your emails with the correct contact or company in SALESTractor.There are 3 ways to import mail to your account:
- By putting your dropbox in BCC when sending an email
- By forwarding emails you sent or received to your dropbox
- By having your incoming emails automatically forwarded to your dropbox
Your dropbox is an email account that is associated with your account. You can find it when you login under the 'admin' tab.
See screen shots.
What happens to my mail when it arrives at the dropbox ?
If the contact already exists the email will be available in the email section under the 'SALESTractor' tab of the company your contact
belongs to. A corresponding event will be created.
If the contact doesn't exist, but the company does and the domain name is known then a new contact will be created automatically for you. A corresponding event will be created.
If neither the company nor contact exists then you will be able to find the mail under the general 'email' tab. You can link it to a company later on from here.
BCC'ing your dropbox
Whenever you send a mail to someone you can put your dropbox in the BCC field. Depending on your email client, it's possible to do this by default.
It's technically also possible to put the dropbox in the CC field. We advice against this because then your contact will be able to see that you are also sending to a dropbox, and your dropbox might be 'found' by virus or trojans on your contacts computer or on the computer of anyone he or she forwards the email to.
This would cause spam to be sent directly to your dropbox which is of course to be avoided.
Forwarding to your dropbox
After you sent or received a mail you can forward it to your dropbox if you want it to be imported. Just forward the mail as you would any other mail, and put the email address of your dropbox in the 'To' field.
Automatic relay to your dropbox
It is possible to have your incoming mails automatically relayed to your dropbox. You usually can't configure this by yourself and need assistance of the system administrator or IT department at your company.
Automatic relaying has 2 big advantages:
- Determine automatically which visit or visitor corresponds to the email sender
- All incoming email will be available in your LEADSExplorer account instantly

Online Extra: Griner the best to play women's college hoops?
By DOUG FEINBERG
AP Basketball Writer
Brittney Griner's unparalleled college career is over, earlier than expected and without another NCAA championship. Her place among the all-time best is secure.
From her powerful blocked shots to highlight-reel dunks, Griner's dominance on both ends of the court was simply unequaled as she drew in new fans to the women's game. They include LeBron James, who said he met her when she was a senior in high school in Houston and has been keeping tabs on Griner ever since.
"She's awesome. It's not fair. It's like Wilt (Chamberlain)," James said. "She's out there like Wilt. That's what would be my imagination, if I was able to see Wilt live and what he was doing to those guys back in the day, that's what she's doing to these girls right now. She's too big. She's too strong."
James said he would have loved to see Griner play against Lisa Leslie in her prime.
Griner was floored when told of the praise by her idol.
"Definitely happy for the 'King' to say that about me," she said. "Him being one of my favorite players, for him to compare me to Wilt and Lisa, it's humbling."
Griner had one up on Chamberlain as she did win a national championship. She just couldn't get a second one as the Lady Bears lost to Louisville 82-81 on Sunday night in one of the greatest upsets in women's NCAA tournament history.
Winning only one title might be the only knock on Griner. Still, many think she belongs on the Mount Rushmore of women's college basketball with fellow stars like Diana Taurasi, who won three titles at Connecticut. The two will almost surely be teammates in the WNBA since Phoenix has the first pick in the draft in two weeks.
"I can only speak for my era and I didn't see Anne Donovan, Nancy Lieberman and Ann Meyers play. But I can't imagine they were more dominant," former UConn star Rebecca Lobo said. "To me she's been the most dominant player and one of the best ever. Since she ended up with just one championship that might change things a little bit on how others view her, but there isn't a post player I'd want to play against less than her."
Ever humble, Griner didn't think she belonged near the top of the list.
"Not me, that's for sure," she said. "I don't know, let's see what I do in the pros, then we'll talk about that."
That's the next chance we will get to see her.
The Louisville game was the last for Griner and four other Baylor seniors — post players Brooklyn Pope and Destiny Williams, along with Jordan Madden and Kimetria Hayden, the guards who arrived in Waco with Griner nearly four years ago. Coach Kim Mulkey's Lady Bears could have a much different look without that post presence inside. They will have standout point guard Odyssey Sims back for her senior season, with Alexis Prince and Niya Johnson, who got their first experience as freshmen this season.
Replacing Griner will be impossible.
She is the second all-time scorer in women's NCAA history, with 3,283 points. She is the top shot blocker ever, shattering both the men's and women's college marks with 748. She had 18 dunks; only six other women have ever dunked in a college game and the group had 15 combined.
The Lady Bears went 27-10 her first season, and made it to the Final Four before a national semifinal loss to Connecticut. They are 106-5 since, including a 40-0 mark last season, the first in NCAA history.
"I just feel like I'm adding on," she said. "I guess you can say I'm changing the defensive end … just because I'm so big and I move. I'm not stationary.
"I want people to look back and be like, 'Dang, I remember when I played her back in college, she was a game-changer on the defensive end," Griner added. "I want that to be my mark on the defensive end."
What sets Griner apart from so many of the other previous stars is her ability to dominate the entire court.
"How many possessions over the course of her career has she influenced on both sides of the court?" ESPN announcer Doris Burke said. "More than any player in history. She's one of a handful that I've witnessed that influence winning to an extraordinary degree."
On Sunday, Louisville found a way to take Griner out of the equation on defense, matching an NCAA tournament record with 16 3-pointers. A lot of teams had tried that strategy against Griner: Baylor's opponents, avoiding the paint, averaged nearly 20 3s a game over the course of her career, nearly four more than the year before she came.
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, who went to Baylor, came to Denver last season and celebrated with the Lady Bears when they won the national championship. He was upset by the loss to Louisville, suggesting Griner was fouled hard and often by Louisville, taking to Twitter to vent his frustrations in support of his beloved team.
Mulkey, who played and coached against some of the best that women's basketball has had to offer, put Griner at the top of the list.
"I've said it many times, I've run out of adjectives to describe Brittney Griner," she said. "Brittney Griner, after winning the national championship last year, should have erased any doubt in people's minds as the greatest to ever play the game."

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by Bleed_Blu_Red, Sep 1, 2012.
I don't understand how they say Caldwell has to pick up a difficult scheme. I meen damn he has been here for awhile, has played in and started his fair share of games so that statement is incorrect. He has been solid
Not trying to jack your thread but I found it interesting that John Clayton put Schaub in his Elite Dozen.
His rationale is that
and that...
Schaub definitely fits both of those definitions.
So your saying Schaub is elite to you or that you don't agree with Clayton's rational for Elite status QB's
I agree with both those definitions and that Schaub (a fully healthy Schaub that is) is definitely in the top dozen of NFL QBs.
...just to be clear.
Another thing in Clayton's article that I agree with is
This is what keeps Schaub's name out of the upper, upper echelon of the Elite QB Club....
We've seen Schaub go toe-to-toe with Roethlisberger, Brees, and Brady, and not embarrass himself,
BUT just during the regular season. Come playoff time, the best of the best crank up the gain and play at another level. Can/Will Schaub do that? Don't know yet; we have no data. I know we all hope so.
I don't think the word "elite" should be used for anyone that isn't a Top 4 or 5 QB.
As I said in the other thread, Schaub is a Top 8-12ish QB. And that's totally fine.
Separate names with a comma.

It is possible that the main title of the report Keratoconus is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory eye (ocular) condition characterized by progressive changes of the shape of the cornea. The cornea is the thin-walled, "dome-shaped" transparent region forming the front of the eyeball; it serves as a protective covering and helps to focus or bend (refract) light waves onto the retina at the back of the eye. In those with Keratoconus, slowly progressive thinning of the cornea causes it to protrude forward in a conical shape, leading to blurry vision and other vision problems. Keratoconus often begins at puberty. Although the specific underlying cause of the condition is unknown, investigators indicate that genetic factors may play some role. In addition, in some cases, Keratoconus may occur in association with a variety of other disorders.

Norfolk's outstanding volunteers honoured as Diamond Champions
PUBLISHED: 15:17 08 October 2012
They are living proof that David Cameron's Big Society is nothing new.
Five pensioners from our region are among 60 people from East and South East England who have been announced as Diamond Champions for their outstanding volunteer work.
From an 87-year-old widow in Hoveton who is still helping to run a transport service taking fellow pensioners to medical appointments to a tireless charity fundraiser in Lyng, they are a shining example to people half their age.
Diamond Champions, run by older people's charity WRVS, was launched as a way of recognising the contribution people over the age of 60 make through volunteering.
More than 860 people from East and South East England were nominated for consideration by a panel of judges who included Archant Media managing-director Johnny Hustler.
The Diamond Champions have been invited to an event at the Sloane Club in London on October 19 where they will be presented with a specially designed Diamond Champions pin.
Ten of the regional winners will then be chosen to join 70 others from across the UK at an event at St James's Palace in London on November 29, where they will meet scheme patrons the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
Debbi Fair, WRVS head of region for East and South East, said: "They are truly deserving of the honour and it is justified recognition of the selfless work they do."
Joan Newey, 87, of Meadow Drive, Hoveton, said volunteering had always been part of her life.
She was a founder member of the local branch of the Women's Royal British Legion, a governor at the local St John's Primary School for 18 years and a meals on wheels volunteer for 20 years.
She has served on the parish council for 40 years and remains chairman of its planning committee.
Mrs Newey, who has two children and five grandchildren, is the telephone co-ordinator of the transport service she helped set up in 1986. "I still do a bit of the driving," she added.
Edna Summers, 78, of Barkers Lane, Sprowston, has been a stalwart of the charity Age Concern for the past decade, volunteering up to three times a week at local day centre meetings for dementia and Alzheimer's patients and their carers.
Edna, who travels as far afield as Dereham for the meetings, became involved after her husband John, himself a dementia patient, died in 2003.
She said: "With no family around me, volunteering has been a lifeline for me."
And she said it was rewarding to be able to provide respite for carers for a short time as she knew from experience the stress they went through.
Ed Gwilliams, 82, of Richmond Place, Lyng, has been running ballroom and sequence dances for the past 20 years to raise funds for the Big C cancer charity and East Anglian Air Ambulance.
Sharing a lifelong love of dancing with his wife Edna, he organises monthly dances in Honingham, Drayton and Lyng.
The retired builder said: "I stopped counting how much I had raised in the year 2000 when the total had reached £18,000. I reckon it must be £25,000 by now."
He vowed to carry on as long as he could. "My wife has had to give up dancing but she still helps with the teas and refreshments," he said.
Pamela Kemp, 79, of Shotesham Road, Poringland, runs a Good Companions club for pensioners and supports a range of other activities in her village, including the Buena Vista film and social club.
She began taking an active role in Good Companions following her husband John's death 11 years ago.
"People really look forward to it as a chance to get out. We get 45 pensioners coming along, mainly widows and widowers, including some over 90," she said.
David Gulliver, 73, of Surlingham Drive, Swaffham, has been chairman of the League of Friends of Swaffham Hospital for 17 years. He gives up to 17 hours a week to the hospital and its garden where patients can sit and enjoy the flowers. A WRVS spokesman said: "His efforts are an inspiration to us all, giving talks to organisations and leading by example, saving Swaffham hospital from closure and raising funds to buy equipment."

Pietermaritzburg - The families of the eight people who died during and after a fitness test for jobs with the KwaZulu-Natal Road Traffic Inspectorate have not ruled out legal action against the provincial Transport Department.
This emerged after the memorial service at the Pietermaritzburg City Hall on Wednesday.
Dumisani Ngcobo, the families' representative, said they were waiting for the results of the inquiry instigated by KZN Premier Zweli Mkhize.
Seven people died on December 27 after a 4km run, which was part of a fitness test for traffic officer jobs, held at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg. More than 15 000 people were to be tested on one day for the 90 jobs and a further 17 000 the next day. One of the seven who died committed suicide. The eighth died in hospital a few days later. About 200 people were admitted to hospital. Three are still in hospital.
Recruits said afterwards no water or shade had been provided and first aid was limited.
"They should have learnt from the police on how to recruit," said Ngcobo.
It was impossible to recruit properly from such a crowd of people, he added.
The memorial service was attended by Mkhize, Health MEC Sibongiseni Dhlomo, Transport MEC Willies Mchunu, the eThekwini Community Church's Pastor Vusi Dube and several other politicians.
Mchunu made an emotional apology to the families, saying the tragedy had saddened him.
"We will not force the families who are angry to forgive us. I would feel that way too if it had happened to my child."
A tearful Mchunu said they had not expected so many to apply. "The numbers shocked us. People are really desperate for jobs," he said.
Despite a suspension of the process, people continued phoning him, he said, asking when the recruitment would resume. Those in remote areas would now be tested there and not at a central location.
Mchunu said the report of the tragedy had been finalised and handed to Mkhize.
"If someone from the department or me was wrong, I will accept any punishment from the premier. We are really sorry, parents," Mchunu said.
Mkhize said the tragedy had traumatised his family, colleagues and himself.
"We want to know how this happened. It must not be repeated," the premier said.
He was studying the report and the law would have to take its course, he said.
Prayers were said at the service and a candle was lit in memory of those who died.
DA leader Sizwe Mchunu said there were a lot of questions still unanswered.
"Why were medical teams not in place? Why was water not provided?" he asked.
Applicants were told late about the fitness test, he said, questioning how it was possible to make a shortlist of 90 candidates from 32 000.
