Landmark 50th Episode of What’s on Joe Mind is online!
It’s the golden episode of the web’s longest running G.I. Joe podcast, What’s on Joe Mind! Join us as we celebrate the occasion with former G.I. Joe comic writer Brandon Jerwa, with Marvel Comics Director of Communications Arune Singh, and featuring some very surprising (and most welcome) call-in congratulations!
The first 30 seconds of the show is about the most geeked-out moment I have ever experienced in the history of G.I. Joe collecting. It’s a “can’t miss” experience!
For G.I. Joe fans, you’re going to want to hear about Brandon Jerwa’s new project “Shooters” that he is working on with Eric Trautman and artist Steve Lieber. It’s a tight, emotional, military-themed graphic novel that I haven’t been able to put down! Hear all about it on the show.
As always, hit up our Podbean Page, or check it out via the embedded player below. As always the full blown show notes are after the jump.
So the recent news about IDW streamlining their G.I. Joe releases caused me to check these solicitations with a little trepidation, but turns out if they are scaling things back at all, it’s not happening until after July. The solicitations at least still show our normal compliment of G.I. Joe related titles.

Mike Thompson breaks his G.I. Joe silence with some more RoC art!
Every Joe fan’s favorite package artist Mike Thompson had a stretch where he was posting several awesome pieces of his Joe art on an almost weekly basis. Working as a package artist through the Rise of Cobra and into the Pursuit of Cobra era, Mike’s excellent blog, Mike T Artworks showcased his excellent renditions of characters like Spirit, City Strike Scarlett, and Whiteout.
He’s taken a break from posting G.I. Joe related art, most likely because he’s either shown most of it already, or is still waiting for them to be cleared by Hasbro to post…but today that changed! During our interview of Mike Thompson on the What’s on Joe Mind podcast we were lucky enough to see some of his other pieces, and now he has posted them via his Twitter page.
These head shots were to be used on some canceled Wal-Mart 2-Packs featuring Nano-B.A.T., Zap, Budo, and Dr. Mindbender. Check out these excellent images below. Also make sure you keep your eyes on MikeTArtworks.com which is his main site featuring some fantastic work that he’s done over the years. He has some amazing talent, even if you’re checking out some non-G.I. Joe work, I think you’ll appreciate what he does. He’s obviously a geek at heart!

text: Fceux Git (2018/07/03) is compiled. FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches. The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch of FCEU. As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.

A question I've had on my mind for awhile... What music (If any) do you listen to when reading SCPs/Tales?
It's been on my mind for a while and I've finally asked it. Do any of you listen to music while reading? If so, what kind of music genre/specific song do you listen to while reading SCP articles/Tales? Do you have a reason to listen to it or is it just something you listen to in general?
Personally… I have a few songs I listen to! Mostly Electronic music. But occasionally slip in the Electroswing here and there.
Oh. Whoops. I knew I probably put this in the wrong spot… Tibi gratias ago pulchra papilionem.
Tibi gratias ago pulchra papilionem.
I don't listen to anything specifically for SCP, but when I'm going about my day I listen to either my Spotify library, which is full of a lot of different albums I like, my much smaller Youtube playlist when I don't want ads, or just random podcasts/videos of people talking. It's mainly just background noise since I don't do well in silence.
Podcasts are nice to listen to when you have nothing else to do.

Things To Consider When Choosing An Emergency Clinic.
When you have a serious medical issues its very hard for you to be admitted to an emergency clinic. Agent Medical issues are not solved in an emergency room but in a large hospital. Instead of waiting for long hours in the emergency room it will be advisable for you to register yourself in a private clinic where you will be treated immediately when you have minor injuries and illness. In an agent clinic facilities people are treated immediately they step into the medical center. When you come first to receive medical treatment you are considered as a priority. Check wisely before you engage your self with any medical center.
Any the hospital should be ready to treat a variety of health problem at ago. Any movement is minimized because it is also very considerate for apatient to move here and there. You do not need to drive thirty minutes to a certain medical care to be treated of a stomach ache then drive another forty minutes too another different location to receive a hand treatement. It is very annoying for one to go to a different medical center to get a blood test then go to another to get a stomach scanning. This should be the most important aspect you will need to look after when you want to choose an agent medical care clinic.
You do not need to go for a long distance to be treated since your health problem may be very agent and if the clinic is far from the patient home this would be very difficult for him or her to survive a heart attack in case of one occurs. If you have a an acute condition such as that you can be left alone without any care always make sure to call the clinic and request for a care taker. If you happen to chose a clinic that is far from your place you will be required again to go back again if you are requested for another appointment. If you choose a far place form your area you will find yourself using a lot of money in the process. If you fail to take care of your time well you will end up miss using also your finances also.
In any type of business venture you need to consider the time you open up because you may find that when you are opened that is when your customer are coming for the services. Consider a clinic that is opened even on weekends when you can get any emergency unexpectedly. When you do not know when anything can happen in this world its wise to consider a clinic that will help you in such times. During weekend most families have lots of activities which end up in injuries, and when you don’t have a reliable emergency clinic opened on the weekend it will be very hurting for your family. Avoid any loss of any kind and choose the best agent clinic in your area.

Now that the baby has been born, it is time to shed off those extra pounds you picked up during your pregnancy and get back in shape. Personal fitness is particularly important after pregnancy since it has been shown to help prevent postnatal depression.
Martial arts classes will get you back in shape faster than almost any other thing you can think of. It is a fun, physical activity that constantly changes during each class. Serious martial artists are typically very fit people for a reason. These ancient arts work every muscle in the body and it provides both an aerobic and anaerobic workout during a single session.
It is also one of the most effective ways to burn fat. An hour-long session of a martial arts like Muay Thai can burn up to 1,000 calories in an hour.
Reputable martial arts gyms provide a family-friendly atmosphere and there are classes that are geared specifically for beginners or people who are trying to get back in shape. You get to meet lots of like-minded people who are working towards similar fitness goals and you might even develop some lifelong friendships.
Martial arts classes won’t just get you back in physical shape, it will also improve your mental state. You become more confident, better at managing stress and more disciplined. The icing on the cake is the fact you also learn how to effectively defend yourself and your newborn like any mama bear would if it was ever necessary.
Swimming is another great way to burn those excess pounds of fat off. It involves the use of virtually every muscle in the body and it provides a great aerobic workout. Swimming is a no impact exercise so it does not strain your joints like other cardiovascular activities like running or jogging can. That is a huge benefit for people who have had joint issues in the past.
When trying to burn fat by adding swimming to your fitness routine, it is very important that you make the most out of the time you spend in the pool. It is important that you swim towards clearly defined goals when using it as a fitness activity. You burn a lot more calories when you continuously do laps than you do when leisurely enjoying the water with friends. If you push yourself during swimming sessions, you can burn up to 500 calories each hour.
Build your strength and tone those muscles in Evolve MMA’s Warrior Fit classes.
Working out at a gym is always a good way to get back into shape if you are disciplined enough to stick to your routine. Focus on exercises like pelvic tilts and kegels. These can be performed as soon as a couple of days after your delivery if your doctor clears you.
Performing these exercises increases blood flow to the perineum and it helps with your recovery. It also creates a solid foundation that takes you a step closer to regaining your abs.
Crunches are another exercise you should add to your fitness routine. Check to see if you have abdominal separation by trying to insert a few fingers between your abs. If your abs are separated, the fingers will fit in.
You can train your abs to draw them back together by holding them together as you perform crunches. This is often enough to get them back to their proper alignment. If the issue persists, consult a doctor.
You should also consider pumping some iron. Strength training is a time-efficient way to pick up your metabolism and increase the rate your body burns fat. Exercises that target compound muscles like your quads and shoulders should be part of your fitness routine.
To get the most out of your cardio sessions, trying doing them right after your strength training session. You will burn more calories that way.
That’s right, breastfeeding helps you to get back in shape after having a child. It helps to shrink your uterus back to its pre-pregnancy size and it burns about 600 calories per day. There is no easier way to burn that many calories per day, so take advantage of what Mother Nature provides.
If you do not yet feel like you are ready for a fitness routine, you can gradually start your journey towards getting back in shape by going for walks. It gets your body moving and burns fat. Use your smartphone or a fitness device to track your steps each day. Gradually increase your daily walks by 10 percent each week as your body becomes stronger.
When you are ready for more of a test, move on to walking up a hill and other challenges.

now that the baby has been born, it is time to shed off those extra pounds you picked up during your pregnancy and get back in shape. personal fitness is particularly important after pregnancy since it has been shown to help prevent postnatal depression.
martial arts classes will get you back in shape faster than almost any other thing you can think of. it is a fun, physical activity that constantly changes during each class. serious martial artists are typically very fit people for a reason. these ancient arts work every muscle in the body and it provides both an aerobic and anaerobic workout during a single session.
it is also one of the most effective ways to burn fat. an hour-long session of a martial arts like muay thai can burn up to 1,000 calories in an hour.
reputable martial arts gyms provide a family-friendly atmosphere and there are classes that are geared specifically for beginners or people who are trying to get back in shape. you get to meet lots of like-minded people who are working towards similar fitness goals and you might even develop some lifelong friendships.
martial arts classes won’t just get you back in physical shape, it will also improve your mental state. you become more confident, better at managing stress and more disciplined. the icing on the cake is the fact you also learn how to effectively defend yourself and your newborn like any mama bear would if it was ever necessary.
swimming is another great way to burn those excess pounds of fat off. it involves the use of virtually every muscle in the body and it provides a great aerobic workout. swimming is a no impact exercise so it does not strain your joints like other cardiovascular activities like running or jogging can. that is a huge benefit for people who have had joint issues in the past.
when trying to burn fat by adding swimming to your fitness routine, it is very important that you make the most out of the time you spend in the pool. it is important that you swim towards clearly defined goals when using it as a fitness activity. you burn a lot more calories when you continuously do laps than you do when leisurely enjoying the water with friends. if you push yourself during swimming sessions, you can burn up to 500 calories each hour.

working out at a gym is always a good way to get back into shape if you are disciplined enough to stick to your routine. focus on exercises like pelvic tilts and kegels. these can be performed as soon as a couple of days after your delivery if your doctor clears you.
performing these exercises increases blood flow to the perineum and it helps with your recovery. it also creates a solid foundation that takes you a step closer to regaining your abs.
crunches are another exercise you should add to your fitness routine. check to see if you have abdominal separation by trying to insert a few fingers between your abs. if your abs are separated, the fingers will fit in.
you can train your abs to draw them back together by holding them together as you perform crunches. this is often enough to get them back to their proper alignment. if the issue persists, consult a doctor.
you should also consider pumping some iron. strength training is a time-efficient way to pick up your metabolism and increase the rate your body burns fat. exercises that target compound muscles like your quads and shoulders should be part of your fitness routine.
to get the most out of your cardio sessions, trying doing them right after your strength training session. you will burn more calories that way.
that’s right, breastfeeding helps you to get back in shape after having a child. it helps to shrink your uterus back to its pre-pregnancy size and it burns about 600 calories per day. there is no easier way to burn that many calories per day, so take advantage of what mother nature provides.

when you are ready for more of a test, move on to walking up a hill and other challenges.

With the trauma I’ve faced recently with the plagiarism of one of my novels and subsequent online harassment, there were times when I wondered if I would ever write again. It’s hard to explain and I’ll bet many people won’t understand it, unless it happened to them, but it had been an emotional challenge getting back to work. That is saying a lot for a writer who has published fifty books in eighteen years.
However, I finally finished a novella (under my pen name) that I’d nearly completed before this happened and I also have begun editing the other one I was supposed to have finished four months ago. The word count total is tiny compared to my 6-month usual output, but the stories are solid and my readers are loving them. I hoped I have overcome enough of the anxiety to continue from here. Yes, I know my website is sadly outdated, but I’m still hanging on by fingernails here. Once I overcame the anxiety enough to write (even this little bit), it has very much helped my state of mind.
The first is book is Ava’s Revenge (An Unbounded Novella), and the second is Mortal Brother (An Unbounded Novella). Ava’s story is already available in book and print. Chris’s story (Mortal Brother) is in the publishing process now and will hopefully be available by the end of the month. I can’t wait for my readers to learn more about some of the other characters in my Unbounded series.
Thank you for your support and love! I have really needed them these past six month.

With the epic crossover event now behind us, both The Flash and Arrow are getting back to their own respective storylines — and we’re geeking out to see this one.
The midseason finale of The Flash airs Dec. 9 on The CW, and the network has released the first teaser trailer for the episode. Not surprisingly, it’s a doozy. As we’d previously heard, the episode will give Barry a chance to face off against the man who killed his mother, Reverse-Flash.
As expected, the character’s identity is hidden by that super-fast face-blurring ability, and the producers have previously teased that we won’t find out the identity of Reverse-Flash anytime terribly soon. So they’re apparently holding that reveal for a bit later in the game. But, big reveal on the ID or not, we get Flash vs. Reverse-Flash in a friggin’ super speed fight. This is the reason this series exists, and we cannot wait to see this play out.
We’re so psyched the producers are diving headlong into the comic canon, and by tackling these stories now, it’s making for one heck of a debut season. I don't know where they'll take it in season two, but for now, we're hooked. This is also a great twist to provide a new challenge for Barry, because the super-speed thing is starting to make things a bit too easy (see: that Flash/Arrow crossover).

In addition to developing and performing two world premieres choreographed by artistic director Willy Shives, the company is collaborating with The Public Theater of San Antonio on “Newsies,” the dance-heavy, big-buzz musical adapted from the 1992 Disney movie. Ballet San Antonio’s subscription season at its homebase, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, holds two story ballets: “Beauty and the Beast,” running Oct. 19-21; and “Carmen,” running Feb. 15-17. Shives is choregraphing both. For “Beauty,” he will be drawing on several different sources for the score and the story. For “Carmen,” he is using Bizet’s opera as the foundation for the tale. Shives is also once again choreographing the company’s annual production of “The Nutcracker,” running Nov. 23-Dec. 2. The prodution will also include some of legendary choreographer Gerald Arpino’s work.

Queens of the Stone Age and Taylor Swift have scored their first-ever UK number one positions in the album and singles chart respectively.
QOTSA soared to the top of the album charts this week with their seventh studio LP ‘Villains’, clocking up 32,000 sales in its first week.
The record, which was produced by Mark Ronson, dislodged Ed Sheeran‘s ‘÷‘ from the top spot to earn the California band the honour for the first time in their career.
Elsewhere in this week’s album chart, The War On Drugs‘ new record ‘A Deeper Understanding’ notched the number three spot – a career-best in the UK for the Adam Granduciel-led band – while Pvris‘ second album ‘All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell’ went in at number four.
Swift, meanwhile, went straight to number one in the Official Singles Chart with her comeback single, ‘Look What You Made Me Do’.
The accomplishment is the artist’s first-ever UK number one single, with the track accumulating 30,000 downloads and 5.3 million streams in its opening week.
Swift’s success sees Dua Lipa move down to the number two spot after two weeks at number one with ‘New Rules’.
This week’s singles chart also marks the first all-female top three since October 2014. Back then, Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ was at number three, while Meghan Trainor’s ‘All About That Bass’ held off Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj’s ‘Bang Bang’ to claim the number one spot.
See this week’s full singles chart here.
Yesterday (September 1), Enter Shikari frontman Rou Reynolds spoke out over the ‘backlash’ he’s received from Swift’s fans after he accused the star of ‘fleecing them’.

Looking for that carefree carryall tote? I’m currently loving Piazza’s Vita Tote, and the only thing holding me back from purchasing it is deciding on the exact color I want. Perfect for traveling, work, or trips to the farmers market alike, this tote is great because it’s oversized yet manageable. It’s a slim canvas bag reminiscent of some more expensive designer versions, supported by genuine leather shoulder straps, in your choice of a classic neutral or fun bright shade. At only $49, this is a great bargain for a bag that has just so many uses.
Pro tip: send your friends a free $10 eBags gift card through Embly, which they can use on anything from this Piazza collection!

Zion Williamson is the biggest college basketball superstar in decades. He might be the last true college basketball superstar ever. And on Friday night, he got his one and only NCAA Tournament underway in rather loud fashion.
Duke’s fabulous freshman bagged 25 points on 16 shots in the Blue Devils’ 85-62 pounding of North Dakota State. Among the 25 points were a few fierce dunks and a 3-pointer. Fellow frosh R.J. Barrett had a game-high 26 as the No. 1 overall seed sped away from the Bison in the second half.
In some 33 seconds – coincidentally, the exact amount of time it took him to blow through his shoe a month-and-a-half earlier – Zion steamrolled through two North Dakota State defenders for a bucket, then soared and swatted a shot out of bounds.
Incredibly, the Bison hung around for much of the first half. They jumped out to a 14-7 lead, challenging Zion and even scoring over him twice.
But Zion’s first NCAA tourney dunk gave Duke a lead.
Duke led 31-27 at halftime. Williamson and Barrett each had 10, though Zion was very quiet over the latter portion of the half.
In the second half, though, Duke quickly sprinted out of sight.
After the tight first half, Duke put away the Bison with two dominant minutes to open the second. It outscored the No. 16 seed 9-0. Zion had six of the nine.
Four of those six came in one sequence. He scored through contact and went to the free throw line, from which he put his revolutionary spin on the four-point play. He left the free throw well short, but collected his own rebound and slammed for two more.
Then he won a race for a loose ball and scored in transition.
The Blue Devils extended their four-point halftime lead to 14 in less than four minutes. A minute later, Williamson drilled his only 3-pointer of the game for good measure.
With the game out of reach, Zion continued to throw down. So did his roommate.
First, it was Williamson’s turn.
Then it was Barrett’s turn on an uncontested fast break.
At the second half’s under-12 TV timeout, Williamson was up to 23 points. The two fab freshmen together had already doubled their first-half point total. Duke had stretched its lead to 61-35. Zion would add two more, then exit the game midway through the period.
Zion didn’t go a single minute during Friday’s game without a camera on him. And that’s not just some clever way of describing the unrelenting attention he receives. CBS literally has a “Zion Cam” that will follow the freshman throughout Duke’s NCAA tournament run.
Of course, other cameras, of all kinds, were on him as well. Even in pregame warmups.
The attention will only ramp up as the Blue Devils bear down on the Final Four.

Who's up for a game of sponsorship? Huawei`s foray into sports sponsorship.
If you’ve spent the last week focused on continuing machinations behind the closed doors of Zhongnanhai - where if we believe the rumours to be true, the Party has been pulling itself apart at the seams in order to piece itself back together again - you might have missed the biggest news of the month. That was of course, Huawei’s decision to sponsor the Canberra Raiders Rugby League Team.
The decision to hand over a cool US$1.8 million to see their logo adorning the shirts of a fairly unknown team - certainly to anyone outside of Australia - may have confused you at first. On closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that the move has everything to do with the Australian government’s decision to turn Huawei’s bid to work on the rollout of a national broadband network. Rather than having a hissy fit and storming back to the firm’s mega campus in Shenzhen, they chose instead to sponsor the Raiders.
The reason is simple. Huawei hopes to ingratiate itself with the locals and throw off its image as an instrument of the PLA, something it has repeatedly failed to do despite a string of attempts in the past and which continues to hamper its expansion into developed markets.
Disregarding Huawei Australia CEO’s outlandish claim that “with Huawei’s 140,000 staff, it’s safe to say that the Raiders have just gained 140,000 new fans around the world”, it does look like a canny piece of PR. It’s sending the right message: you turned us down but we’re not going anywhere; in fact we’re so mad about Australia we’re going to sponsor your rather mid rate rugby league team. This week a team, next week the entire League perhaps?
Foreign companies sponsoring sports teams is nothing new of course. As economic power has shifted West to East, we’ve seen a correlated increase in the number of Western teams sponsored by Eastern firms. Just look at the English premiership. The Japanese were at it in the 1980s – JVC sponsored Arsenal, Sharp sponsored Manchester Utd, and er…Crown Paints sponsored Liverpool (woops). The Koreans adorn the Chelsea shirt in the shape of Samsung, while Arab nations are now well represented via Emirates’ sponsorship of Arsenal and Etihad’s of Manchester City.
But up until now, we haven’t seen too many examples (at least not to China Brain’s knowledge) of Chinese companies sponsoring Western teams. In the same way Chinese demand has raised prices for assets in the past, should we expect to see a similar effect occurring in sports sponsorship? We wouldn’t be surprised to see representatives of the many teams who are struggling financially in these times of austerity heading over to China. Much in the same way business junkets continue to arrive on a daily basis attempting to flog all and sundry to the Chinese, who’s to say that they won’t succeed where others have failed? It’s just a shame for Glasgow Rangers that Scotland’s oil has run out, otherwise we would be fairly confident of seeing PetroChina’s or CNOOC’s name on the shirt and an easy way out of their insolvency crisis.
Huawei has made a bold first foray into foreign sports and it is once again blazing the trail for Chinese firms overseas. Its first task is to test whether the Raiders will really live up to the company’s vision, which according to its web site is ‘To enrich life through communication’. Anyone who’s shared more than a few drinks with a representative of an Australian Rugby League team will affirm that their communication style can certainly be colourful. Enriching might be stretching it a bit though. Good on yer’ Huawei.
NEW ORLEANS — Will Americans buy a Chinese smartphone? We’re about to find out, as Huawei, one of the world’s biggest phone makers, is planning a big push into U.S. cellphone stores. All four nationwide U.S. phone companies will carry Huawei smartphones this year, says Francis Hopkins, a Huawei spokesman. That’s up from one right now — with AT&T.
Only two Chinese companies are well known consumer brands in the U.S.: computer maker Lenovo, which entered the U.S. market by buying IBM’s PC division, and Haier, an appliance maker with a German name.
Huawei, by contrast, is pushing into the U.S. market under its own power, and with a Chinese-sounding name (pronounced “wa-way”). It’s hoping to replicate the success of gadget makers like Samsung and LG of Korea and Acer and HTC, which have formed a second wave of Asian companies to enter the U.S., after the Japanese.
U.S. phone companies are well acquainted with Huawei, which sells network equipment and accessories like wireless modems for laptops. It had $1 billion in sales in the U.S. last year, Hopkins said. Globally, it’s a big seller of phones as well. The company expects to ship more than 100 million this year. Of those, it expects 60 million to be smartphones.
In a sense, nearly all phones Americans buy are Chinese. They are, after all, assembled in China. The most valuable components, the chips, come from Taiwan, Korea, Japan and the U.S. Huawei is linked to the same global phone manufacturing chain, buying the same chips and using the same factories for final assembly. The company’s phones also look like other smartphones that are stylistically similar to the iPhone, and run Google Inc.’s popular Android software. What would really be different about the Huawei phones is that they’re designed in China and marketed by a Chinese company.
When it started selling phones in the U.S. in 2010, Huawei continued to let the carriers take care of marketing, Hopkins said. Its phones are sold under the Huawei brand by some smaller phone companies, like MetroPCS, but the phone AT&T sells doesn’t carry Huawei’s name — just AT&T’s.
“In the U.S., the device makers have to continuously brand themselves,” Hopkins said.
So the company is planning a big marketing campaign with “global brand experience agency” Jack Morton, which works with Nike, Wal-Mart and Cadillac. The slogan will be “Release the smart in everyone,” reflecting Huawei’s focus on making inexpensive smartphones for people trading up from regular phones.
Analyst Ramon Llamas with IDC places Huawei among the up-and-comers in the phone market, who need a “hero device,” a flagship phone, to establish it. Huawei has unveiled a couple of candidates in its new Ascend line, including what it called “the world’s thinnest smartphone” in January. But those haven’t come to the U.S., and may not.
“We know we can do it, we can offer it, but with us still being young in the device game, it’s better for us to focus on delivering a good user experience,” Hopkins said.
That means, Hopkins, a self-described “smartphone power user,” doesn’t use a Huawei phone, but a Samsung Galaxy. He’d rather have the flagship Huawei phone, the Ascend D, he said, but it doesn’t work in the U.S. —yet.

Chicago is up next in our Team Talk series, this one also written by Adam Filadelfo. Follow him on Twitter: @Frostt24.
Always a potential to be a breakout offense, Da Bears seem to fall just a bit short. If this is the year they put it all together, you are going to want to own some of these players to help bring you a fantasy football championship.
Jay Cutler - Let me start off by saying Cutler has the tools to be an elite level quarterback. Now let me say that he isn't an elite level quarterback. Maybe it's his approach to the game or maybe it's his attitude, but something is holding him back. He has a great arm and sometimes looks like he's turned the corner, but just when it seems like he's put it all together he goes and throws an ill-advised pass that gets picked off. Maybe he thinks his big arm is all he needs. There were just too many games (last year especially) that Cutler either failed to show up or threw more interceptions than touchdowns. At this point, he's probably best suited as a backup fantasy quarterback.
Matt Forte - Forte is more valuable in PPR formats simply because he is an important part of the passing game. But what hurts him most is his lack of scoring touchdowns. No matter what format you may play in, nothing is more valuable than touchdowns. That may be the only department Forte is at a disadvantage, and he certainly has room for improvement there. He's currently going in the second round of drafts and in a new system with new head coach Marc Trestman he could see a boost in touchdowns scored.
Brandon Marshall - One word comes to mind when describing Marshall. Beast. Not only is he a weapon downfield, he's a strong red zone threat as well. Brandon is a physically gifted athlete with the ability to make outstanding plays but may need another wide receiver opposite him to reach his full potential.
Alshon Jeffery - He showed signs of breaking out last season but never quite took that next step. Some are predicting this could be the year but I'm tempering my expectations. Marshall is clearly Cutler's favorite target and it sometimes seems Cutler only sees Marshall on the field. That could hurt the value of Jeffery even more. Until he shows he can do more than just flash signs of ability, I'd stay away. Unfulfilled promise makes him worthy of a late round flier in your drafts.
Martellus Bennett - Bennett could have a really good year in Chicago. He's a legitimate red zone option in a season where tight end seems at a premium. He also gives Cutler another option at the goal line. He's an every week starter at his position that could very well help a Bears offense that had to settle for far too many field goals last season. Keep in mind that Marc Trestman is known for being an offensive minded coach so that could help boost Bennett's value.
Michael Bush - He won't see much work as long as Matt Forte is healthy. That being said, there's a good chance Forte doesn't stay healthy for the entire season. If the Bears need him, Bush can produce. Even with Forte in there, Bush has been more of the goal line back and could be valuable by means of scoring touchdowns. Only problem with that is it's almost impossible to predict touchdowns. I think right now, Bush is worth drafting as the clear cut handcuff for Forte owners. He probably won't hold much value for any other fantasy owner.
Devin Hester - Let's get this out of the way right now: The Devin Hester as a receiver experiment has failed. However, in fantasy leagues where owners are rewarded for return yards, Hester could still hold some value. Hester is one of the most electrifying return specialists to play in the NFL in quite some time. Any time he has the ball in his hands, there's a good chance he can take it to the house. In most leagues if you want to get the benefit of Hester's return ability, you're going to want to draft the Bears defense and special teams.
D/ST - Make no mistake about it, the Bears defense will be one of the first defenses off the board come draft day. Only problem with defenses is an elite defense one year isn't necessarily that the following year. What made the Chicago defense so great to own in 2012 was their penchant for getting turnovers. You can't count on that happening again, but the potential remains. Regardless of that though, you should be confident using the Bears defense in most matchups.

michael bush - he won't see much work as long as matt forte is healthy. that being said, there's a good chance forte doesn't stay healthy for the entire season. if the bears need him, bush can produce. even with forte in there, bush has been more of the goal line back and could be valuable by means of scoring touchdowns. only problem with that is it's almost impossible to predict touchdowns. i think right now, bush is worth drafting as the clear cut handcuff for forte owners. he probably won't hold much value for any other fantasy owner.
devin hester - let's get this out of the way right now: the devin hester as a receiver experiment has failed. however, in fantasy leagues where owners are rewarded for return yards, hester could still hold some value. hester is one of the most electrifying return specialists to play in the nfl in quite some time. any time he has the ball in his hands, there's a good chance he can take it to the house. in most leagues if you want to get the benefit of hester's return ability, you're going to want to draft the bears defense and special teams.
d/st - make no mistake about it, the bears defense will be one of the first defenses off the board come draft day. only problem with defenses is an elite defense one year isn't necessarily that the following year. what made the chicago defense so great to own in 2012 was their penchant for getting turnovers. you can't count on that happening again, but the potential remains. regardless of that though, you should be confident using the bears defense in most matchups.

A brand new rural primary school and the modernisation of a well-established secondary have gained national recognition. South Ayrshire Council marked a double success at the recent Education Buildings Scotland Awards in Edinburgh. The awards celebrate excellence and achievement in the design and innovation of educational buildings across Scotland.
Marr College won the 'Project of the year' category. The £37m project to transform the 1935 building began in spring 2015 when new all-weather facilities opened for use in June of that year. By December 2016 the new technical wing and the refurbished side of the Marr building became available. Finally, 2017 saw the opening of the south wing of the Marr building and the new PE block, helping to adapt the 20th century building to meet modern needs. South Ayrshire Council delivered the project with development partner, hub southwest, Kier Construction, and BDP architects.
Tarbolton Community Campus won the 'Innovation in delivering a sustainable education facility' category. The new £8.2m project opened in March, 2017. The building combines Early Years and Primary education, alongside a community centre and library. Biomass boilers and photovoltaic cells in the design also help to reduce running costs for this new community hub. South Ayrshire Council delivered the project with development partner, hub southwest, and Morrison Construction.
The new Ayr Academy was runner-up in the 'Inspiring Learning Spaces' category.
Councillor Peter Henderson, South Ayrshire Council's Portfolio Holder for resources and Performance said the recognition was well deserved, "These two awards are testament to the dedication of the teams that delivered two projects that have made a real difference to the education of our children and young people.
"The extensive project to upgrade and extend Marr College has breathed new life into a landmark building, while in rural Tarbolton we've provided a range of facilities for people to use through the Community Campus.
"But the investment doesn't stop there and with a wide-range of new schools being delivered in Annbank, Ayr, Dailly, Girvan and Troon we're committed to giving our children and young people the best possible start in life."
