Led by a Talented WR Corps, The Luckness Monster Won't Go Down Easily
Draft Summary
When a bottom-half draft slot yields top-half results, that's the sign of a strong effort by the GM. Such was the case with The Luckness Monster, which flipped its 12th overall pick into a projected fourth-place finish in Stampede Blue League 5 League (10-3-0, 1,647 points). With their first five picks, The Luckness Monster focused on a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (13th overall), RBs Reggie Bush (37th) and Shane Vereen (60th), and WRs Dez Bryant (12th) and Vincent Jackson (36th). They built one of the best groups of WRs in the league, as they have Bryant, Jackson, Eric Decker, and Greg Jennings for their rotation.
Nice draft. If there were a Fantasy Football Hall Of Fame, you should nominate yourself. Wait, there is? And you can??
The Luckness Monster can chalk up Week 9 as a loss. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have one of the most challenging slates. In addition to having the second-most grueling overall schedule, The Luckness Monster has the most difficult last four games of the season.
Draft Notes
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
The Luckness Monster drafted top-3 players at a trio of different positions (Dez Bryant, Shayne Graham, and Aaron Rodgers).
Close to the Vest
The Luckness Monster was focused on a squad with minimal volatility, grabbing seven "low-risk" players out of 16 picks.
Defense Wins Championships?
The Luckness Monster chose to go with two DEFs instead of loading up at other spots.
You Snooze, You Lose
While the rest of the league slept on Shayne Graham, The Luckness Monster pounced on him at pick No. 181.
Mr. Mendoza
Shayne Graham is owned in only 5% of all Yahoo! leagues. Let's hope that a.) The Luckness Monster has some solid inside information, or b.) he's a close friend of the family.
Mr. Relevant
In terms of projected points, the choice of Shayne Graham was the strongest pick of the final round. Savvy move there, The Luckness Monster.
Player Analysis
- Dez Bryant, WR
- Round 1, Pick 12
Does Dez Bryant Enjoy Fajitas?Because his total yardage figures are sizzling. Bryant is projected to rank 10th in the league with 1,457 all-purpose yards.
- Aaron Rodgers, QB
- Round 2, Pick 13
The Luckness Monster's Stud Signal-CallerAaron Rodgers is projected to rack up 424 points this year, enough to rank third among all QBs.
- V. Jackson, WR
- Round 3, Pick 36
On a Scale of 1 to AmericaHow free will Vincent Jackson get in the secondary? He's projected to put up 1,207 receiving yards this year.
- Reggie Bush, RB
- Round 4, Pick 37
If it Ain't BrokeThen do fix it? Laughing in the face of decades of fantasy tradition, The Luckness Monster didn't grab their first RB (Reggie Bush) until the fourth round.
- Shane Vereen, RB
- Round 5, Pick 60
Stolen In Broad DaylightShane Vereen was the best value pick of the round and could be the cause of many sleepless nights for the other managers.
Best Available
The Luckness Monster is pretty strong across the board with no weak spots, but DEF is one position they may want to try and upgrade.
- Miami Defanse
- Rank 244, ADP 126
- Dallas Defanse
- Rank 276, ADP 120
- Pittsburgh Defanse
- Rank 283, ADP 121
Bye Week Points Lost
PointsEach bar represents the total projected season points for each player that's on bye that week. This chart shows any potential bye week issues.
Pick Number Minus ADP
Pick NumberBars above zero indicate a pick was selected later than a player's ADP. Bars below zero show players that were taken earlier than their ADP.
Avg Points by Position vs League
Team LeagueThe average projected points for all the players at each position versus the average projected points for all players at that position in the league.
Schedule by Opponent Points
WeekWeek-by-week schedule with each opponent's projected season points. This chart shows any difficult or easy stretches in the schedule.
How We Grade
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."

Salma and her adorable 2-year-old Valentina were snapped making their way through a parking garage on their way into a Beverly Hills office building yesterday. Who were they visiting?
We'd like to think that Salma was sneaking in to have a romantic rendezvous with 30 Rock's Jack Donaghy, but the truth is we don't know. Perhaps the better question is: Was the paparazzi just camped out in a parking garage, hoping a celebrity would show up? What were the photogs doing there?
One things for sure, those sunglasses are way too big for Valentina's little face.

Fresh never frozen, ground beef smashed onto a sizzling hot griddle; handmade shakes in 16 flavors, chili made daily with Krekel's own special meat and piping hot fries are the staples that have made Krekel's a Central Illinois tradition.

A Novel
From the critics

Add a Commentjust finished reading the book and i liked the book accept for the ending which was predictable.the decision made by rachael was so unbelievable.i hope the next book is better
Disappointing and not as funny as her other novels. Not much of a plot, and the ending is implausible.
I have always enjoyed the books of Susan Isaacs, but this has been a surprising and disappointing exception. I cannot say that I detected a plot, but all the characters spent the entire book minging about their unhappy teenage years or unhappy childhoods - decades in the past by. Noone had a happy adolescence! Get over it! And stop making me read about it over and over and over again!
I did find fascinating the back cover photo of the author, who appears as a rosy, plump cheeked lady in her 30. Isaacs is, in fact, about to turn 70.

Swept Away by a Kiss (Mass Market Paperbound)
A Secret Identity
When pirates storm Viscount Steven Ashford's ship upon the high seas, it brings him closer than ever to the nefarious criminal he seeks to ruin. Only one seductive detail threatens his victory: the scandalous beauty imprisoned with him, Lady Valerie Monroe. Temptation has never been so intoxicating or so forbidden, for Steven is disguised as a French priest. If they make it off the ship alive, to protect her from his enemies he must never see her again . . .
An Undeniable Love
Back in England, and under the ton's scrutiny for a reckless past she hasn't escaped, Valerie dreams of the breathtaking "man of the cloth" with whom she shared her greatest adventure. Then he reappears in society under his true identity, Viscount Ashford, but, despite the danger, their consuming passion cannot be denied. Now standing in the way of their desire are Valerie's wounded heart, Steven's lone destiny, and a villain who will stop at nothing to crush them both.

SuccessFactors November 2013 Release
SuccessFactors November 2013 Release
Written By:
Raluca Druta
November 21 2013
Whenever I see a
new release
from vendors such as SAP SuccessFactors I think of current and future SuccessFactors customers and how they can best benefit from the new functionality. I try to put myself in their shoes to understand how the November '13 added features can help both employees and human resources (HR) professionals. Also, there are a few questions that ensue when taking a look at the discussed functionalities:
Offline Learning for iPad
: This is good news, since one of the main challenges for mobile apps is to make content available offline and synchronize automatically when an Internet connection is available. This will be very practical particularly for field workers who sometimes encounter limited access to the Internet. The press release does not mention when or if the feature will be available for Android or Microsoft.
Mobile Onboarding
: This feature that makes a lot of sense, as when someone joins a company, they are given various documents, training material, manuals, websites, portals access, etc. Delivering at least some parts of the onboarding on a mobile device makes for a more flexible onboarding process, especially for employees who like to blend the personal and professional. The press release does not specify if this is BYOD compliant and whether it is device-agnostic.
Employee Self-Service (ESS)
expands to support payroll deductions and advances, which allows employees to, for example, edit deductions or set repayment schedules. While it is nice to give employees more freedom, the degree to which this will impact the work of managers or accountants that control payroll was not discussed.
New Career Worksheet
allows employees to see the opportunities offered by the company that they work for and how to get there. What is not clear is whether these types of recommendations are based on the employees' skills, past experience, etc. Also, it is not clear whether the tool is able to suggest career paths that are radically different from what someone is currently doing.
Skill Self-Assessments
: When using LinkedIn, one may notice that many individuals are not always able to evaluate themselves accurately. This new option offered by SuccessFactors will prove to be very useful as it allows an individual to mirror his/her own self-perception against others—a "reality check." I would be interested to see if the software is able to provide root-cause analysis when there are large gaps between self-assessment and peers and managers assessment.
SAP Jam Work Patterns
: Most people's work is either repetitive or can be summarized in a pattern, so the idea to create these patterns is definitely useful. Two challenges with this feature are that 1) a pattern is usually an approximation of reality and 2) it is difficult to match the way an employee wants to work with how the company wants him/her to work. To address these challenges, SuccessFactors applied the Pareto principle, which asserts that for many events, 80% of effects come from 20% of the causes, and as Sameer Patel—responsible for SAP's Enterprise Social and Collaborative Software Business—
stated in a Twitter conversation
All new features have been made available for Enterprise Edition customers as of November 15.

ASIA-PACIFIC: Less Troops Need Fewer Transport Ships and Planes (Update)
February 2, 2012 at 11:58 pm 5 comments
Pacific Overtures
Updates to correct dropped words and garbled sentences.
The Obama administration's budget request for 2013 won't be public for another two weeks, but last Thursday (Jan. 26) Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sketched a broad outline of what the Pentagon will be seeking from Congress in Fiscal Year 2013 (which starts Oct. 1).
Dempsey and other Pentagon officials have taken pains to explain to reporters that budget cuts in the Defense budget are being shaped by the president's Strategic Guidance – and not just by the $487 billion in cuts over the next 10 years that Congress is demanding under the Budget Control Act of 2011. That law requires across-the-board federal spending cuts of over $1 trillion if Congress can't come up with a plan to cut that much from the budget. Lawmakers have about a year to find a solution or the Pentagon will have to cut another $500 billion from its budget over the next 10 years.
But some of those cuts – a number of aging Air Force cargo planes and planned Navy transport ships – seem to be at odds with that guidance, which calls for defense planners to focus their attention on the Asia-Pacific area as well as the Middle East.
This is where planners "think the potential problems will be in the world," Panetta told reporters at last week's briefing. Three weeks earlier, President Barack Obama outlined the results of a defense strategic review, noting "we will be strengthening our presence in the Asia-Pacific, and budget reductions will not come at the expense of that critical region."
Under a 2006 agreement with Japan, as many as 8,000 Marines are slated to move from Okinawa more than 1,000 miles to Guam by 2014. There have been reports in Japanese and U.S. media, that some of those troops might move even farther east to Hawaii. A smaller presence in much of Asia begs the question: How will U.S. forces be able to react quickly to developments across the wide Pacific — with fewer means of transport?
The planned spending cuts in the 2013 budget request include retiring 27 C-5A heavy cargo transport jets and 65 of the oldest C-130 cargo aircraft – a smaller turbo-prop transport aircraft. That will still leave the Air Force with 52 modernized C-5Ms and 318 C-130s as well as 222 jet-powered C-17 cargo aircraft.
The budget outline also calls for buying eight fewer Joint (Army-Navy) High Speed Vessels in the next five-year, Future Years Defense Program. The ships would be able to carry 600 short tons of cargo or personnel 1,200 miles at an average speed of 35 knots. The budget plan also calls for letting the delivery of a new large deck amphibious ship – essential for Marine expeditionary forces – slip by a year. Two smaller amphibious ships would be retired early and constructing their replacements would be delayed.
But a Pentagon spokesman says there's reason to be less concerned about how the cuts in defense spending will affect transporting troops and equipment: a reduction in the force size means fewer transport planes and ships will be needed.
The Army and Marine Corps will be shrinking — by 72,000 for the Army and by 20,000 for the Marines — over the next five years, says Navy Capt. Jack Kirby, adding that they and their equipment are the Air Force's "biggest consumer of air mobility."
"If you have fewer troops and fewer pieces of equipment and logistical supplies that need to go with them in your force, then you can afford to sacrifice some of your air mobility requirements," Kirby told a Defense bloggers' roundtable late last week.
The same goes for the Navy, which will still have 280 ships on hand, said Kirby, the deputy defense secretary for media operations.
But that doesn't mean there aren't inherent risks inreducing the Defense Department budget, Kirby added. "I'm not at all saying there isn't risk in any of these plans. There is. But we believe we've mitigated that to the best that we can."
Additionally, the Marines will have a presence in northern Australia and the Navy will also have a presence in Singapore. And the Philippines – which forced the U.S. to close down its facilities at Subic Bay naval base and Clark Air Base back in the 1990s – is having second thoughts about some sort of U.S. military presence in the neighborhood.
Manila — like the governments of other countries that rim the South China Sea — has been jangled by increasingly tense disputes with China about who controls those waters and the mineral wealth believed to lie beneath them.
In late January, the Philippine government proposed closer military ties with the United States including more joint military exercises and allowing more U.S. troops to rotate through the former U.S. Territory.

If your reduced troops are situated further out of area, and expected to cover more ground, then in fact they may need more transport capability.
That's a point I asked about at the Blogger's Roundtable, but the Pentagon folks seem to think they'll have enough fast-moving transport to move the smaller number of ground forces in the future.
I wonder about the number of amphibious ships for the Marines, however. They've said they need at least 33 amphibs to transport two Marine Expeditionary Brigades to two separate conflicts. The Navy only has 31 (and some claim it is even less than that when you throw in vessel retirements and delayed replacements).
Thanks for the update. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
[…] Air Force Secretary Michael Donley and Air Force Chief of Staff Norton Schwartz can expect to be asked how they square their plans to cut strategic cargo lift aircraft with the Pentagon's shift in strategic focus to the vast Asia-Pacific region. (See 4GWAR Feb. 2, 2012) […]
I'm not militarily or diplomatically savvy so this may sound stupid to you all but I am truly curious if all these information should not be disclosed so publicly

Considering buying this for the sale tomorrow, but I want to know the response time on it before I do.. As the last 3d hdtv I used was had horrible response time, making gaming unplayable on it. And yea for some reason, LG and most other big name hdtvs like this don't make it easy to find these kinds of specs.

And even if they do give a spec, you have no idea how it was measured, making it pointless. This is where buying from a brick-and-mortar store has its advantages. If you are not satisfied, you return it and exchange for something else.

National League 3
(0-1, 0-1 away)
American League 5
(1-0, 1-0 home)
Coverage: FOX
8:00 PM ET, July 15, 2014
Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
National | 0 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 8 | 1 |
American | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | - | 5 | 7 | 0 |
MINNEAPOLIS -- Derek Jeter soaked in the adulation from fans and players during one more night on baseball's national stage, set the tone for the American League with a pregame speech and then delivered two final All-Star hits.
Mike Trout, perhaps the top candidate to succeed the 40-year-old Yankees captain as the face of the game, seemed ready to assume the role with a tiebreaking triple and later a go-ahead double that earned the 22-year-old MVP honors.On a summer evening filled with reminders of generational change, the AL kept up nearly two decades of dominance by beating the National League 5-3 Tuesday for its 13th win in 17 years."I think let Mike be Mike. I don't think people have to necessarily appoint someone to a particular position," Jeter said. "He's got a bright future ahead of him. I don't know how much better he can get, but if he consistently does what he's doing, then he will be here for a long time."Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer to help give the AL champion home-field advantage for the World Series.No matter what else happened, from the start it seemed destined to be another special event for Jeter.He made a diving stop on Andrew McCutchen's grounder to shortstop leading off the game and nearly threw him out at first, then received a 63-second standing ovation when he walked to the plate before his opposite-field double to right leading off the bottom half. He was given another rousing cheer before his single to right starting the third and 2 1-2 minutes more applause after AL manager John Farrell sent Alexei Ramirez to shortstop to replace him at the start of the fourth.As Frank Sinatra's recording of "New York, New York" boomed over the Target Field speakers and his parents watched from the stands, Jeter repeatedly waved to the crowd, exchanged handshakes and hugs with just about every person in the AL dugout and then came back onto the field for a curtain call."It was a special moment and it was unscripted," Jeter said. "I was unaware of it."NL manager Mike Matheny of the Cardinals didn't want it to stop."The guys on our side have the utmost respect for him and would like to have been standing out there for a little while longer," he said. "I think Derek was the one that was uncomfortable with it."While not as flashy as Mariano Rivera's All-Star farewell at Citi Field last year, when all the other players left the great reliever alone on the field for an eighth-inning solo bow, Jeter tried not to make a fuss and to deflect the attention.Even during his clubhouse speech."He just wanted to thank us," Trout said. "You know, we should be thanking him."A 14-time All-Star who was MVP of the 2000 game in Atlanta, Jeter announced in February this will be his final season. His hits left him with a .481 All-Star average (13 for 27), just behind Charlie Gehringer's .500 record (10 for 20) for players with 20 or more at-bats.While the Yankees are .500 at the break and in danger of missing the postseason in consecutive years for the first time in two decades, Jeter and the Angels' Trout gave a boost to whichever AL team reaches the World Series.The AL improved to 9-3 since the All-Star game started deciding which league gets Series home-field advantage; 23 of the last 28 titles were won by teams scheduled to host four of a possible seven games.Detroit's Max Scherzer, in line to be the most-prized free agent pitcher after the season, pitched a scoreless fifth for the win, and Glen Perkins got the save in his home ballpark.Target Field, a $545 million, limestone-encased jewel that opened in 2010, produced an All-Star cycle just eight batters in, with hitters showing off flashy neon-bright spikes and fielders wearing All-Star caps with special designs for the first time.With the late sunset -- the sky didn't darken until the fifth inning, well after 9 o'clock -- there was bright sunshine when Jeter was cheered before his first at-bat. He was introduced by a recording of late Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard's deep monotone. St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright left his glove on the mound and backed up toward second, clapping along with the crowd of 41,048."I tried to tell him to pick it up -- let's go," Jeter said. "But he took a moment and let the fans give me an ovation which I will always remember."When Jeter finally stepped into the batter's box, he took a ball and lined a 90 mph cutter down the right-field line for a double."I was going to give him a couple pipe shots just to -- he deserved it," Wainwright said. "I thought he was going to hit something hard to the right side for a single or an out. I probably should have pitched him a little bit better."After those in-game remarks created a stir on the Internet, Wainwright amended himself: "It was mis-said. I hope people realize I'm not intentionally giving up hits out there."Trout, who finished second to Cabrera in AL MVP voting in each of the last two seasons, became the youngest All-Star MVP, about 3 1-2 months older than Ken Griffey Jr. was in 1992.Playing in his third All-Star game, Trout followed Jeter in the first by tripling off the right-field wall. Cabrera's homer -- just the fourth in the last six All-Star games -- made it 3-0, but the NL tied it on consecutive RBI doubles by Chase Utley and Jonathan Lucroy off Jon Lester in the second and Lucroy's run-scoring double against Chris Sale in the fourth.Trout put the AL ahead for good with an RBI double in the fifth -- a bouncer over third base against Pat Neshek, the St. Louis reliever who grew up in the Minneapolis suburbs and started his career with the Twins. Jose Altuve followed with a sacrifice fly off Tyler Clippard.Raised in New Jersey, Trout saw a lot of Jeter and said all week he felt honored to play alongside him."Growing up I was setting goals to myself that when I get -- if I ever get the chance to get -- to the big leagues, that's how I want to play," Trout said. "And the way he carries himself on and off the field, how he respects the game -- always hustling, it doesn't matter what the score is. If they are down 10 runs, he is always running the ball out. That's how I want to play."Game notes
The NL holds a 43-40 advantage, with ties in 1961 and 2002. ... Neshek's brother works on the grounds crew at Target Field.

Some comments from the judges:
"Very creative theme and title. I love how you chose to represent this theme. I also love all the details and different stocks you used: the snowflake, water splash, rainbow... These little things are very creative, and the way you made the whole thing (with the two sides) is very original. It's all so detailed and placed so perfectly and delicately.I love the swirls and water and lighting on the dark side, and the clouds, colors, flowers, and snowflakes on the dream side. This is just such a skilled piece."
"This piece just struck me as marvelous. The contrast between the two sides is amazing, and I love how she is gazing towards the dream side. I love all the different textures, color shades, and brushes used here. It is one of the best photo-manipulations I have ever seen. Really, gorgeous. Gorge

Yesterday's recalled news showed that automobile defects can happen on a number of levels, and not just simply during the manufacturing process. In this case, 3,235 Toyota models were recalled by Southeast Toyota Distributors because employees failed to properly install and calibrate passenger side airbag sensors, which means that the safety devices could either deploy unexpectedly or not at all. Either way, a breakdown in the inspection and preparation process could lead to serious injuries, which warranted a recall. But it was also important to note that Toyota Motor Corp. was not responsible for this recall, as it is merely the responsibility of Southeast Toyota Distributors.
That distinction is important because yesterday's regional airbag recall may confuse consumers in regard to today's national Toyota recall, which also involves defective airbags. Toyota is recalling approximately 752,000 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles in the U.S., as well as others in Japan, Canada and Mexico, because of a defective IC chip in the airbag control unit. Basically, the chip can be distracted by other electrical devices in the car, and that interference can lead to sudden unexpected deployment of the airbags.
According to NBC News, a Toyota spokesman stated that the company is aware of 18 cases of injury caused by these defective airbags thus far, although the majority of those injuries have occurred in Japan. This new recall is Toyota's third to involve more than 1 million cars since October – including the recall of 2.7 million hybrids because of steering defects – and repairing the airbags will cost the company approximately $55 million.
Regardless, Toyota officials will soon begin contacting Corolla owners to schedule appointments with local dealerships to replace the defective IC chips. To fix this problem, Toyota will provide electrical signal filters to the airbag controls. Consumers can also contact Toyota at (800) 331-4331 with additional questions or for further recall details.
