Not many of Manchester United's youngsters have made it through the ranks in recent years, after their class of '92 golden generation which included David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.
Here, we look at five youngsters hoping to make the grade at United.
Michael Keane | Defender
Michael Keane, 20, is a right-back who can also play at centre-back.
He was voted United's reserve team Player of the Year last campaign, scoring five goals from thirty appearances. He played in the centre of United's defence in their thrilling 5-4 Capital One Cup defeat to a strong Chelsea side earlier this season, and hardly put a foot wrong.
Keane is currently on loan at Nigel Pearson's Leicester City, and his twin brother Will is also at United.
Keane has chosen to represent England over the Republic of Ireland and has played for the under-19s team.
Could we one day see two sets of twins in the United first-team with Rafael and Fabio also on the books?
Ryan Tunnicliffe | Midfielder
Ryan Tunnicliffe is a powerful midfielder who has been compared to Roy Keane, so he could be just what United have been lacking in recent years.
Tunnicliffe is currently on loan at Peterborough, who are managed by Sir Alex's son, Darren.
The 20-year-old is also capable of playing at right-back.
Marnick Vermijl | Defender
Marnick Vermijl is a Belgian right-back who can also play further forward.
He made his debut in the Capital One Cup win over Newcastle earlier this season and is a consistent performer.
Good going forward, Vermijl is one of several promising young right-backs at United currently, with Keane and also Frederic Veseli looking to impress at Old Trafford.
Vermijl, 21, is another youngster who can play across the defence or in midfield.
Mats Daehli | Midfielder
Mats Daehli, 17, is a skilful Norwegian midfielder who won last year's prestigious Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award at United.
He is highly regarded in Norway, has already played for United's reserve team and scored four goals in 16 starts for their under-18 team last year.
Daehli was wanted by Bayern Munich and Ajax before joining United from Stabaek, where his coach described him as a combination of Xavi and Lionel Messi, so great things are expected.
Jack Barmby | Striker
Jack Barmby is the son of former England international Nick.
Equally as competent playing as a striker as on the left wing, Barmby has already featured for the England under-19s.
He scored in every round of the FA Youth Cup until United were knocked out in the semi-finals, and was top scorer last season with 13 goals.
Could he follow in his father's footsteps all the way to senior level?

Brendan Rodgers has praised Steven Gerrard for his 'unique' ability and hopes that he will keep playing for the club beyond his current contract which ends in 2014.
With the 32-year-old Liverpool skipper playing every minute in the Premier League this season, it's clear he's a popular man in Rodgers' line-up.
The Reds boss praised the England international's display at the weekend during Liverpool's 3-2 loss to Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup fourth round.
Rodgers told the club's official website: "When he came on at Oldham, it was like someone had dropped him from heaven into the game."
Although he may be a guardian angel for Liverpool, his future for the club seems to be in the balance.
The former Swansea City boss added: "I don't believe anything has been done [about his contract].
"Steven and I have spoken a number of times. His feeling the last time we spoke was let's get through this season and see how that goes.
"His focus is on really helping the group to go forward."
It's worrying times for Liverpool, as Rodgers believes that they would struggle without their influential skipper.
Rodgers said: "I can't say without Gerrard we'd be alright, because I don't believe we would.
"This is a top, top player who gives so much quality but also enthusiasm."
Gerrard shocked Liverpool fans back in 2005, reportedly telling the club he wanted to leave.
After a failed £32 million bid from Chelsea, Gerrard decided it was best to stay loyal to his club.
With the Financial Fair Play rules just around the corner, there are questions over whether Liverpool will be able to afford Gerrard's £140k a week salary.

They have idiots at Google too, that took a good, functional UI and revamped it with a nonsensical one.
For instance: in the old Gmail, you had clearly labeled HTML buttons that said "Delete" "Compose" "Archive", etc. It was easy to find.
In the new UI, somebody decided that little tiny dark icons with no text description were cool. Now the Delete button is replaced by a tiny black icon that represents a trash can. Archive button is replaced by another tiny black icon which looks similar to the other little black icons. So basically, what used to be a two-step operation (move your mouse cursor to Delete button, click) is now a four or five-step operation. (move cursor over little black icon and hover, wait for the onHover title to see if it's the one you want, go on to the next little icon and hover, read title, then click if it's the right one).
In the new UI, somebody decided that little tiny dark icons with no text description were cool.
Gear -> Settings -> Button Labels -> Text
Gear -> Settings -> Button Labels -> Text
So, if you think the GUI is hard to figure out, just go to a setting buried three levels deep behind a menu represented by an icon lacking text to fix it!
I like how the label list is dynamic as all heck making it a pain to accurately click on a specific label.
The new mail client has the Metro look and feel. And it is providing users with more granular control over which ads they see and where they see them.'"
Ads? What do ads have to do with email?
Ads? What do ads have to do with 'free' email?
FTFY, hope that helps....
I wonder if one of those fine, granular controls is "none at all"?
I was going to ask the same question.
Of course, the answer is "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh, you kids an your wacky ideas.... No Ads???? You're so funny!"
I notice that MS is using the success they've had with advertising on XBOX to transform their other projects into similiar Ad platforms. That is why the Metro interface looks like the XBox dashboard, so that it will be easier to slip advertisements in it. Outlook.com will be no different.
And it is providing users with more granular control over which ads they see and where they see them.'"
My local mail app doesn't show me ANY ads, it doesn't expose the contents of my email to data miners, it lets me instantly search email and compose new mail even if the network goes down, it doesn't lock me into proprietary solutions, and as a mail packrat it's let me take my mail collection with me as I move from system to system since 1984.
My local mail app
You only send and receive encrypted email? I am impressed!
My coworker registered about 8 really short names since they weren't taken yet (such as his first name, a common name).
My name wasn't available though, so I just got email@example.com.
I so totally see someone applying for a job with some religious organization someday, and giving that as your reply-to e-mail address. Instant interview stopper.
I got email@example.com so everyone will know what an optimist I am
That's pretty awesome actually.
One thing worth noting about this whole Outlook.com land grab: The accounts you are signing up for are not email accounts, they are "Microsoft accounts." They are keyed to Microsoft's whole package of cloudy services, so when you login to Outlook.com, you're also logging into SkyDrive, Messenger, and whatever else gets provisioned for you. If it worries you how Google seems to follow you all around the web once you're logged in, well, this is the start of Microsoft doing it.
Apple is similar in that it wants an "Apple ID" to get onto some of its weird online stuff.
Maybe now I can get a Microsoft email again, now that it's Outlook.com. Many years ago, my cat signed up for Hotmail, and used her real name and age, so when they came out with that "need to be 13 years old" restriction, they froze her account. The only way to unlock it would have been to use a credit card, but if I did that, she'd be logging on to Amazon with it and ordering cases of tuna, so no way.
(Although come to think of it, she's probably 13 years old by now; I'll have to check what year we got he
I actually like it. I know people, especially those on
Most people seem to understand the difference between Outlook Web Access and Outlook, so I don't think they'll have a problem with Outlook.com vs Outlook.... although Outlook.com and OWA may be confused now.
Hotmail's spam filtering is without a doubt the worst on the web. Obvious spam ends up in my Inbox, and legitimate mail ends up in the spam.
What's worse though is when it gets fooled into thinking that the email is part of a mailing list I've subscribed to and displays all the images automatically, making the spammer aware that my email address is valid.
Hotmail's spam filtering is without a doubt the worst on the web. Obvious spam ends up in my Inbox, and legitimate mail ends up in the spam.
I'm not sure this is much better. I've had access to a preview version of Outlook.com for a couple of weeks now, and I've been forwarding it mail from an account that gets lots of press releases. A few of the really obvious spam emails end up in the junk folder automatically, but so do some of the "legitimate" press releases -- and that's assuming you wouldn't normally classify a press release as spam. 90 percent of the mail I sent it seemed to sail right through.
What's more, Outlook.com tries to detect context for each of the mails you receive, to give you different types of information linked to the message. One thing it tries to do is differentiate between mail from individuals that's intended specifically for you and mail from mailing lists. Needless to say, next to nothing I sent it wasn't from a mailing list, but it flagged a few messages as being from individuals anyway.
What it does when it thinks you're seeing a message from one of your friends is it tries to display other information about that person in the box where the ads would go, such as the latest post from their Twitter or Facebook feed. It was pretty amusing to see an email from someone that began, "Dear {{YourName Here}}" and off to the right, Outlook.com was asking me to Friend the sender on Facebook.
Needless to say, my "usage" of the product so far has been pretty atypical, and maybe by running an email account on it where I don't actually talk to any of my friends and 90 percent of the incoming mail is totally unsolicited breaks the expected usage pattern.
But still, their vision of how email works doesn't really jibe with mine. Say one of my business contacts sends me an email about a project we're working on. Is this the time to follow their Twitter feed? Probably not. All of that functionality just seems like feature creep, and I suspect it has something to do with marketing partnerships.
Nice clean UI, easy to use and fairly fast. I think this could be a good one. Though I don't like the idea of an @outlook.com domain for email...
This is something Microsoft should have undertaken immediately after acquiring Hotmail. Microsoft has a strong brand with Outlook, and it makes total sense to be using that brand for their webmail offering.
Doing it at this time also makes sense. They're making a big push for a new user interface ("metro"), and this is one more place where they can integrate that interface, making it consistent across their offerings.
Of course, the devil is in the details. If they do it wrong, it will weaken their Outlook brand and push existing customers towards competitors. On the other hand, they're getting a ton of free publicity, so they have a chance to capitalize on the moment and steal market share.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, they don't have a good history of execution on things like this--most likely the new platform will be horrible, but they'll keep at it, and after a few generations, it will be a decent competitor, but that's three to five years out.
Hotmail had 8.5 million users when MS acquired... not bad for 1997. At the time, Hotmail may have been a stronger name than Outlook. At any rate, Outlook has generally been aimed at business users while Hotmail has been aimed at home users. But I agree that they still should have done this at least 10 years ago.
Hotmail is (and was) a stronger brand for free webmail than Outlook is. Most people who know Outlook as something other than "that crappy email client that comes with Windows?" probably aren't in the market for free webmail accounts.
providing users with more granular control over which ads they see and where they see them
How about "none" and "ever"?
This is why I pay for independent email hosting..
I can't find any mention of it, but does it include either IMAP or Exchange support? One of my complaints about Hotmail is that they still haven't provided any accessibility from software clients except through POP, and POP isn't really appropriate anymore for personal email addresses.
Really, IMO, they should be using the same connectors as Exchange so you can access the calendar and address book from software clients. It's not as though they're unfamiliar with the technology. I suppose they don't want to make a decent free email service, though, since it would cannibalize their more expensive services. I guess I'll just stick with Gmail.
IMAP probably never. If IMAP caught on then Exchange would become less popular.
I wish my ISP allowed IMAP though, it seems quite a lot of them only support POP.
to have a valid email that was not work related. Two reasons. 1. To sign up for downloads and other stuff on the internet. 2. To look for another job. I have had many work related emails since 1995, but the same my personal Hotmail account. I even have a short and easy username since I signed up so early in the HoTMaiL beta. I upgraded to a Plus account for a year or two, but then didn't seen the need after the free service caught up to my requirements. I have since setup another junk hotmail acco
Hello no IMAP/SMTP support goodbye
I now have 4 Microsoft e-mail/IM IDs that basically do the same thing but don't talk to each other unless I manually merge them, which doesn't always work.
Thanks a lot Gates and Ballmer... and then you wonder why Page and Brin ate your lunch.
Integrations with it's own products is it's main issue. Most users don't use MS's calendar/chat/etc, so integration with those adds little value.
Integration with XMPP means that people might consider using it, since they can still chat with their xmpp/gtalk contacts.
Integration with caldav means people will use their CURRENT calendar.
At the moment, it's either migrate EVERYTHING, or don't use it. Most people wan't bother.
I'd actually probably tell some friend that hates google to try it out if it had XMPP
Wow, I actually tried this a few minutes.
The interface is horrible, most of the screen is generally unused, and fields (like where you write an email) have no border, so it's hard to tell where they end.
Plus, all mail is always html. No plain-text email. No option to disable this so-called-feature either, so users will only be able to send html-emails, to the annoyance of many recipients.
Time to update the spam filters from hotmail.com to outlook.com
The trillion tiny little fuck-ups by Microsoft are fully evident in this new service: I am not allowed to enter my mobile phone number because apparently "it is not suitable in my region". Right.
And I got immediately an alert that someone tried to use my account without authorization so I have to immediately change my password.
Some other localization issues and forcing me to use a language I don't want to use... oh well, thanks for reminding me of what piece of crap Microsoft products are (still).
You are required to pick a password of 16 characters or less - why? I blogged about maximum password length restrictions before [harvard.edu], and I would like to hear a compelling reason why this is needed. Otherwise, I can only assume they are storing them in plaintext.

The Evernote desktop experience has evolved significantly over the years. We've changed things in response to new features, new device capabilities and to meet the expanding needs of our users. But no previous update has matched the scope of what we're launching today.
We've spent the past year identifying the needs of new and advanced users to craft an environment that beautifully caters to both. We re-imagined the look of the app to make everything more accessible. We explored the changing role of sharing and collaboration within Evernote and the opportunities we have to make them more useful. We considered search and the ways that we could make it feel like it was one step ahead of your thoughts. In short, it's the Evernote we've always wanted.
We're really excited to announce that Evernote 5 for Mac is here. Complete with over 100 new features. Available to all from the Mac App Store.
Get Evernote 5 for Mac »
The Left Panel
The striking new left panel is your jumping off point into the many ways to see and organize the notes and memories that you have in Evernote. Here's a look at the different options.
Shortcuts is a versatile space designed to give you quick access to the notes, notebooks, tags, and Saved Searches that you need most. Simply drag items into the Shortcuts area, then arrange them and re-arrange them to fit your liking. If you're working on a project, drag everything that's relevant into shortcuts. If you're a GTD pro, then arrange the notebooks to match your needs. If you want, remove items from Shortcuts by dragging them out.
Recent Notes
Recent Notes displays your five most recently edited or created notes. No need to go searching for the note you were working on a few minutes ago, because it'll show up in this area.
Click on Notes to see your entire notes list. Think of this as the equivalent of the old All Notes option, but more powerful. When you're viewing your list, you're now seeing all of your notes in a single view, including those that have been shared with you. You can switch to see only your notes from the View Options. More on that below.
Notebooks are all new in Evernote 5 for Mac. We took the major step of unifying your personal and Shared Notebook lists. This way, you're able to instantly see the items that have been shared with you alongside your own notebooks. You can sort the list by notebook name or owner. To quickly find the notebooks you're looking for, just start typing the notebook name and the list will instantly start filtering.
Advanced tip: If you prefer to see all of your notebooks in the left panel like in previous versions of Evernote, just right click on the Notebook icon in the left panel and choose "Show Notebook List" to display your list of notebooks below the icon. The same goes for Tags.
The tag list shows your tags either alphabetically or by the number of notes that the tag contains. Double click on a tag to see the tagged notes. Click once and you'll see other tags highlighted that share notes with the tag you've selected. This lets you quickly drill down to exactly the tags you want.
People are wired to build rich contexts around their memories. It's more than just what the memory is, but also where it was created and who else may have been there. With the new Atlas view, you can see all of your notes on a map, even those created in Evernote Food or Evernote Hello, letting you find and relive your memories in a totally new way.
When you arrive on the Atlas screen, you'll see Place Cards. For most people, locations likely cluster around a few areas on a world map. Place Cards let you jump directly to the clusters. Click on a Place Card, then zoom in to the area you want.
It's important to note that items will only show up in Atlas if you use a device that has location services enabled. You can enable location services on your Mac from Security & Privacy in System Preferences. To add location to a note on your Mac, click on the "i" in the top right corner, then either type in the address or click no the compass arrow.
The Note List
The Note List received a redesign, too. We added Card View, which lays out your notes as beautiful squares. Card View perfectly frames notes containing images, while also giving you a preview of notes with text. If you'd like, you can click on the note view options in the top corner of the Note List to switch to the classic Snippets View, which we updated to also include notebooks and tags. If you prefer to take your notes full screen, choose the Expanded Card View option.
Top of the List
We built two useful sorting options right into the top of the Note List. There's a notebook selector drop down and a tag selector drop down. Click on them and either start typing or select the item you're looking for. The Note List will instantly switch to only showing notes related to your selection.
Pro tip: Use CMD + J to place your cursor right in the Notebook Selector or CMD + SHIFT + J for the Tag Selector.
The Note Editor
The Note Editor panel received some subtle but critical improvements that make it more useful and effective. First, you'll notice that there's a border around all side of the notes. This framing makes the note taking experience surprisingly different and enjoyable.
If you'd like distraction-free editing, double click on the note to pop it out of the Note List, then click on the full screen arrows in the top right corner of the window. Your note will take over the screen so you can focus on your writing.
In addition, along the top of a shared note, you'll see the Sharing Bar, which indicates the number of people that have access to the note and also their names. Not only is this a quick way of seeing who has access to the information in the note, but it also serves as a reminder in the event that you want to add someone new.
Make Plain Text
We've added a new option to the Formatting menu that will make some of our users very happy. You can now completely remove all formatting from a note. This is great when you're pasting in code and when you just want to remove any strange Web formatting.
Major Search Improvements
Search also underwent a major update with this version. As the size of an account grows, you start adjusting the way you search for content. Whereas a single word search used to be sufficient, now you find yourself searching across multiple dimensions of the app. The new search features are designed to make finding anything easy, no matter how large your account.
Type Ahead Search
Start typing a search term and our Type Ahead algorithm will begin suggesting searches based on content inside your account. Everything will appear right below the Search Bar. You'll see related keywords, notebooks, tags, Saved Search, recent notes, and more. For even more advanced options, click on the menu at the bottom of the search popup.
Share and Stay Informed
Sharing is a major aspect of this update. We made sharing your notes and notebooks easier, while also bringing more shared content into plain sight. In addition, we updated the way that the Activity Stream works. The little satellite dish now does a better job of grouping events, so you're not overwhelmed with updates. Click on it to see exactly what's happening in the notebooks you have access to and those that you've shared with others. The updates also appear in the Notification Center on Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8).
And So Much More
This may seem like a lot of stuff, but it's not nearly all. Browse around and explore the new app. There are tons of additional features and improvements throughout, including faster and more reliable sync, and a completely new launch experience, which makes using Evernote easier for your non-techie friends.
Since we know that a major update like this can sometimes be tough to wrap your head around, we've created a number of useful resources:
Meet the Designers
If you're in San Francisco, we're hosting an Evernote Talks: Design event this evening. You'll get a chance to hear from the team behind this and other recent design and experience-focused updates.
Big thanks to the thousands of beta testers that have been using Evernote 5 for the past few weeks. Your feedback has been incredibly helpful.
We hope you like the new Evernote for Mac as much as we do. Let us know what you think.

Ip Man: The Final Fight ("Yip Mun – Chung Gik Yat Jin")
"Heartwarming, poignant and thrilling" - Gabriel Chong, MOVIEXCLUSIVE
He's able to leap freely off rooftops, battle rival martial artists and emerge swiftly and scratch-free. Or so a local newspaper has written. But if you can knock him down while he stands on that same edition, you can safely claim you've struck down Bruce Lee's legendary master, Ip Man! The grandmaster has begun clean slate in Hong Kong. He may be a bit older but his lethal combination of virtue, wisdom and kung fu powers is undiminished by previous events in China. With a new entourage of students learning Wing Chun, Master Ip must square off against poverty, the rival White Crane school and the powerful, scarfaced gang lord Dragon, who has mercilessly occupied the Walled City in Kowloon and successfully shielded himself from the law with his infamous bribes and threats of terror.
Brace yourself for the dynamic final chapter of the Ip Man saga! Controversial godfather of exploitation cinema Herman Yau, who helmed the popular prequel THE LEGEND IS BORN - IP MAN (Fantasia 2010), reunites with his UNTOLD STORY star Anthony Wong. Award-winning Wong is a real-life martial artists specializing in monkey kung fu and displays his abilities in all their glory, while his high-caliber thespian skills yield a more nuanced Ip Man than Donnie Yen's signature performance, while maintaining the spirit of the original actor. Yau expertly immerses us in nostalgia for the '50s and '60s with visual vibrancy and humour, sensitively addressing the social upheaval of the era while unleashing some truly breathtaking action set pieces, including the lion-dance competition and the final showdown in the typhoon-battered Walled City. IP MAN: THE FINAL FIGHT features a gallery of familiar faces including Jackie Chan regular Ken Lo (DRUNKEN MASTER 2), Eric Tsang as the White Crane master, and Ip Man's real-life son Ip Chun injected as a humorous cameo. And watch for a rather familiar figure who appears at the end in a Rolls-Royce! The first-rate action sequences are choreographed by Jackie Chan's reliable collaborator Nicky Li (PROJECT A II) and a true Wing Chun expert (taught by Ip Man's actual son!), co-writer/co-producer Checkley Sin.

Last run over 10 miles before Boston. Felt really, really great and had to hold back, which is where anyone in a taper should ideally be at this point. Pretty pumped.
Chillier day out and pretty breezy as well. At least there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Felt sufficiently warmed up after four miles and after that the legs felt really spry. I had to constantly remind myself to slow down since the pace was supposed to be easy. Good signs. I'll be going bonkers next week with even more minimal running.
It was announced this morning that Meb pulled out of the elite field for Boston. Bummer. He's got a pretty amazing life story, I highly recommend his book. Great read.
Ran 10.2 miles @ 7:48/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Very hilly.
Upper 20s to lower 30s, sunny, breezy.

READ: The next Big Ben?
VIDEO: Bortles' highlights at UCF
Q&A: Jon Cooper on Bortles' rise
AUDIO: Texans 24 Hour Radio Podcast
Texans Draft Central
HoustonTexans.com: Blake Bortles seemed to explode on the scene nationally this past season. Was he someone you had on your radar in terms of top quarterbacks heading into the year?
Cooper: I'm not sure he was on anyone's radar as the top tier quarterback he has seemingly become. Was he a nice player? Sure, many will tell you that. And some will tell you they saw his 2013 season coming, but in reality, I'm not sure anyone saw it coming. He always had great size, arm strength and pocket awareness, but if you watched him play, he did flash his upside, too. But to put it all together and make it click in 2013 on the national stage was a thing of beauty. Bortles was never a highly recruited quarterback, and it just takes some guys longer to peak and play their best football. Bortles fits that mold. He played great football for two straight seasons, but 2013 really put Bortles and UCF on the map by beating Louisville, winning the AAC Championship and beating Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl. Quarterbacks turn heads when leading their teams to championships.
HoustonTexans.com: After putting up two solid seasons for UCF, why do you think Bortles flew under the radar in terms of national coverage?
Cooper: Most of the lack of media coverage has to do with the conference he played in. Aside from Louisville, nobody was pumping the AAC prior to 2013. And could you blame them? With teams that aren't in the big five conferences, it's more of a wait and see and show me what you have, as opposed to preseason hype surrounding any player or team (discounting Teddy Bridgewater). But his stock exploded because of wins against Louisville and Baylor that came while the entire country was watching. Anytime you're on the national stage performing at a high level, you will turn heads. He was consistently good throughout the season and his career, while flashing his major upside and potential throughout.
HoustonTexans.com: In terms of expectations, where was your opinion of UCF's team coming into the year? Did you foresee them reaching that level of success?
Cooper: George O'Leary has been building the UCF program for 10 years, and 2013 was a testament to the patience both he and the athletic department have shown throughout his tenure. The Knights have won 10 games or more three of the last four seasons. 2013 was a culmination of great recruiting and development. UCF doesn't land four- and five-star players every year, but rather, they land good players who develop into great players. Development speaks volumes to O'Leary's tenure with UCF.
HoustonTexans.com: Bortles has the most prototypical size among all QB prospects in this year's draft. What most impresses you about his physical tools?
Cooper: Bortles' 6-4, 230-pound frame is more impressive in person, and that's the first thing that really jumps out. He has more than enough arm strength, but his ability to make things happen when the pocket collapses and put pressure on defenses with his legs is such a weapon. He's a quarterback first, but he's also a better than average athlete with elite size and adequate athleticism.
HoustonTexans.com: What kind of offense does UCF run? How does that type of attack translate to Bortles NFL projections?
Cooper: UCF has been more pro-style and traditional under center in years past, but with a threat like Bortles, the offense opened up to more of a zone-read and shotgun spread team over the last couple years. The Knights' offense was multiple because the quarterback was multiple, meaning they ran variations of under center and shotgun. That translates well into the NFL.
HoustonTexans.com: What type of NFL offensive system best fits Bortles skill set?
Cooper: I really believe Bortles can run any NFL style or offensive scheme. Although Bortles is athletic and mobile, a more pro-style offense best fits his skill set, and he can run variations of zone-read attacks, too. His 230-pound beefy frame translates well for absorbing some NFL hits, but he's a pocket passer first, who can make some things happen on the ground and make plays on the run outside the pocket.
HoustonTexans.com: Is there another quarterback with whom Bortles compares favorably to?
Cooper: Bortles compares to Ben Roethlisberger because of his size and frame, but Bortles is quicker than Big Ben. Roethlisberger's size allows him to escape pressure, because it often takes two defenders to bring him down. Bortles is that physically impressive, but he's a better athletic package than Big Ben. I like to compare him – athlete-wise – to Andrew Luck. Can he become an elite quarterback like Luck? I think he can develop into that type of player, but he's not as polished as Luck was exiting college. Luck is foremost a pocket passer, but he has the ability to pick up third and four on the ground.
HoustonTexans.com: Do you think his relatively unknown status prior to the season will help or hurt him as NFL teams start to evaluate his game?
Cooper: It's ultimately a wash, because once he gets on the field at the combine, scouts and GMs will see first hand his ability and size. Sometimes prospects develop later than others. Bortles is one of those players, but it may actually help him because of his heightened season and momentum he created for himself and his team with a spectacular finish. There's a buzz around Bortles now, regardless of whether he was a nobody before the season started.
HoustonTexans.com: If you were the Houston Texans GM, would you select Bortles with the top overall pick?
Cooper: Bortles is a nice prospect, but I like one other quarterback better in Johnny Manziel, for several different reasons. It's either going to be Jadeveon Clowney, who would add tremendous punch to an already potent defensive line, or one of the two quarterbacks. Houston needs a franchise quarterback, but they could also decide to pick up a veteran free agent quarterback and take an elite talent like Clowney.
There isn't a transcendent star quarterback in the 2014 draft who can significantly change the fortunes of a struggling franchise right now. So, I would take Jadeveon Clowney with the first pick and find a veteran quarterback who can bridge the gap for a couple seasons while waiting to see if that quarterback comes along.

Psychotherapy is a form of psychiatric treatment that involves therapeutic conversations and interactions between a therapist and a child or family. It can help children and families understand and resolve problems, modify behavior, and make positive changes in their lives. There are several types of psychotherapy that involve different approaches, techniques and interventions. At times, a combination of different psychotherapy approaches may be helpful. In some cases a combination of medication with psychotherapy may be more effective.
Different types of psychotherapy: (alphabetical order)
Psychotherapy is not a quick fix or an easy answer. It is a complex and rich process that, over time,can reduce symptoms, provide insight, and improve a child or adolescent's functioning and quality of life.
At times, a combination of different psychotherapy approaches may be helpful. In some cases a combination of medication with psychotherapy may be more effective. Child and adolescent psychiatrists are trained in different forms of psychotherapy and, if indicated, are able to combine these forms of treatment with medications to alleviate the child or adolescent's emotional and/or behavioral problems.

01-14-2006, 04:58 AM #1Daniel 1989 UKGuestNew Intel based iMacs and MacBook
As announced by Steve Jobs today, the iMac is one of the first Macs to receive the Intel upgrade. Apparently everything Steve demoed at the Keynote was on an Intel based iMac. According to Jobs the Intel based iMac (Intel Duo Core) is 2 - 3 times faster than the current G5 iMac.
"One More Thing" was Intel Powerbook. Jobs said that Apple had done everything they could to shoehorn a G5 chip into a PowerBook, but it was not going to happen. The Powerbook is dead; the replacement is the new MacBook Pro. Dual Core Intel chip, 4 to 5 times faster that the current G4 PowerBook. The MacBook Pro is apparently a tad thinner than the current PowerBook, 15.4-inch screen with built in iSight. Also included is an IR sensor and the plug is held in magnetically. Looks like prices have not changed dramatically, specs given by Jobs were:
5.6lbs. iSight, Front Row; $1999 1.67 Core Duo; 667 DDR bus, x1600; $2499 1.83GHz.
MacBooks will be shipping in February; Apple will start taking orders today via the Web.
Jobs also mentioned that all Apple products would be transitioning to the Intel processor through the end of 2006. While this was somewhat of a give, we now have confirmation of it.
Also announced was Mac OSX 10.4.4.
There also renaming the Powerbooks " MacBooks "
the apple site is now updated too.

I currently have a Mac Mini its a great machine to get started with Macs for the first time, for something with more power and portability e.g. The Macbook. when I start making money this is the first thing I'm going to save up for. :mac:
When is the best time to buy a Macbook?
Is it a good idea to buy it when it first comes out, or wait some time for Apple to get the "bugs" out, if there are any?

Would it be a good idea to order one now to avoid being stuck on the bottom of a waiting list? I've already waited about 6 months saving up for a new computer, then an extra month to see what happened at MacWorld, and now it'll be one more month until MacBooks are shipped. I'd hate to get stuck on the bottom of a list and have to wait a couple of months after that before my order is shipped. That's almost a year from the time I decided to get a new computer!
I only ask because this will be my first Mac, and I'm unfamiliar with how strong demand usually is for new Apple products (I know it's strong, but I don't know if it's "waiting list" strong).

Vandy Head Football Coach Speaks to Central High | News
The Central Chargers had a special guest Monday night at their Fall Sports Banquet: Vanderbilt head football coach James Franklin.
Addressing the football, softball, cheerleading and cross-country teams, Franklin spoke about the importance of education and how he got the Commodore football program on the right track.
"People ask, well, what's the secret," said Franklin. "How were you able to come in there and turn that thing around so quickly and do the things you're doing. There is no secret. It's about hard work."
But comments he made, presumably in jest, have started drawing national attention.
"There's this guy at Alabama--I think his name is 'Nicky Satan'--you guys have probably heard of him before. I'm going to out work him," Franklin told the crowd. "That's kind of our plan every single day."
Central's Nigel Bowden is committed to play linebacker for the Dores this fall.
"This man right here [Franklin] has so much passion in what he does," explained Bowden. "I believe this is a man I can look up to for four years. I'm telling you man. I'm going to have the best life up there. He is what he says he is. He walks the walk and talks the talk. I've never met anybody with so much passion and energy in what they do."
Vanderbilt finished with a record of 9-4 after defeating NC State in the Music City Bowl.

PvP talents
Discipline is the spec of choice for healing priests in PvP, but don't feel like you absolutely must go deep discipline. This video features an astoundingly skilled priest playing a hybrid discipline/holy spec in PvP. I highy recommend watching it. He utilizes Body and Soul and Lightwell (and makes me swoon in the process; not quite like Frostheim, but similar). It might be inaccessible to a newbie PvPer to play like that, but it's something you can certainly push yourself toward.
Anyway, you can learn about the basics of Holy and Disc in their respective 101 articles. For this PvP guide, I will be primarily examining PvP talents, particularly survival talents. As a novice PvPer, your biggest challenge will be staying alive, so I recommend skipping most of the offensive talents and go for pure survival. That means taking talents like:
- Unbreakable Will This could easily be the most important PvP talent to take. Without it, you will be dead or nearly dead by the time an incapacitating ability wears off.
- Silent Resolve I personally never take this talent because it doesn't seem to matter if I have it or not. If an enemy is spamming dispel on me, he will succeed at dispelling all of them. All the same, this talent is an option.
- Martyrdom When a melee class is on top of you, this is one of the talents that will let you heal yourself through it. You will see priests who don't take it, but they are far from novices.
- Focused Will This is a nice passive buff to your crit that will simultaneously help you keep yourself alive through an onslaught. Notice that it stacks, so it's really quite significant.
- Spell Warding This is your defensive counter to caster classes. Don't underestimate it. Many classes, even melee class, have spell damage which you can reduce with these talents.
- Blessed Recovery I would take this with the least priority. I never got much out of it, and it's rather universally viewed as "meh."
- Blessed Resilience This is a pretty deep holy talent, but since it is a PvP talent I thought I'd mention it. I can't vouch for its performance, but I'd imagine that if you get a proc, it would be great for surviving rogue openers.
As I said eariler, mana will be a big issues, so regen talents like Meditation are essential to not running out of mana. Talents that reduce the cost of certain spells, like Mental Agility and Absolution, are also going to be a great aid. Absolution in particular is useful, since one of the most important things a priest can do is dispel, both offensively and defensively.
As you get more comfortable (and more gear), you can drop the survival talents you don't like for abilities that increase your utility like Focused Power, Divine Fury and Improved Mana Burn. Keep in mind, though, that Mana Burn doesn't get much use in battlegrounds.
The video I linked gives a nice sample spec for holy, so if you are going to go down the holy path, work from that. If you'd like a starting spec for discipline, try this one. (Disclaimer: This spec uses Inspiration and Divine Aegis, which requires your spells to crit to be effective. The gear I recommended earlier has no crit on it, so only use this spec if you are mixing in your PvE gear. If you have a full set of PvP gear, you should not take Inspiration and Divine Aegis. Move those six talent points where ever else you please.) This is not a spec you'll keep for you entire PvP career, but it will get you started.
How to get started
- Battlegrounds I recommend you start in battlegrounds before you sacrifice yourself to the arena gods. (The new battleground finder will also help you out with your gear grind.) When in a battleground, stick close to your teammates and try not to let enemy players separate you from the group. With the spec I supplied earlier, you won't have much offensive capability, so focus on winning through healing. In large battlegrounds, holy priests have a great advantage in being able to heal large groups of people and blend into the crowd. Just watch out for enemy AoE when you stand in large groups. In smaller battlegrounds, scope out a DPS class (a charming hunter, perhaps?) and follow him around. The two of you can keep each other alive, and in doing so, you'll learn more about the other class in the process. (If you do happen to pair up with a hunter, Frostheim reminds me that you should not stick too close, since hunters can't shoot their targets at close range. For some classes though, like paladins and rogues, it helps to stay close.)
- Arena I do not recommend starting your first PvP adventures in arena. The first steps into an arena are an article in itself, so we will save that for later. If you are curious though, Arena Junkies is a good external source to start with.
- Dueling This is a great starting alternative to arena. You can find it outside major cities like Orgrimmar and Stormwind. In dueling, you'll be able to learn how other classes work and how to fight them. I learned a lot this way when I first start playing, and not just by doing the dueling myself. Watching other players fight is a good way to pick up tactics and learn the game. Feel free to ask questions; there are actually a lot of helpful players who love to explain the game, if you let them. Don't be fooled by the stereotype of the elitist jerk PvPer (but don't harass players who clearly don't want to talk, either.)
This is the hardest section to write, and sadly I feel it may end up being the least fleshed-out. If you noticed the graphic at the top of page 1, this is the mysterious Phase 2. You see, there is no priority or rotation in PvP; it's all about thinking on your feet. I will try to supply you with some pointers.
- Keep a Power Word: Shield, Prayer of Mending and Renew on yourself at all times.
- Fully buff yourself every time you respawn and keep an eye on your buffs in case they get dispelled -- Fear Ward, especially. Don't forget you have it.
- If you can, stay out of range of melee class enemies. For ranged classes, try to break line of sight as much as you can.
- If find yourself in range of a melee class, try not to turn your back to him. Many abilities require the player be behind their target to use them.
- If you can't break line of sight with a ranged class, try to run behind him so he has to spend time turning to target and attack you.
- If you see an enemy coming toward you, DoT him as soon as he's in range to put him in combat. Rogues and druids both have openers that require them to be out of combat to use. For all other classes, the DoTs will just give you a head start on damaging them before they get to you.
- Use Dispel Magic to offensively dispel your enemy's buffs and HoTs. This is a great way to level the playing field when you're solo; when you're in a group, it will help your allies kill an enemy opponent faster.
- Dispel Magic is also good for friendly dispelling. By getting debuffs off yourself and your teammates quickly, you will reduce the amount of healing you have to do. You can also dispel incapacitating abilities like a paladin's Hammer of Justice. Watch out for a warlock's Unstable Affliction or a shadow priest's Vampiric Touch, though, since they can both deal damage when dispelled.
- Abolish Disease is another dispel you'll have to juggle. Use it on friendly targets just as you would Dispel Magic. It's particularly useful when fighting death knights, since death knights specs use their diseases to heal themselves.
- Fade isn't useless, but its utility is limited. If you find a hunter or warlock pet is on you, summon your Shadowfiend then use fade to drop aggro and get away.
- You can break a Polymorph preemptively by casting Shadow Word: Death on the mage casting the ability.
- Shackle Undead can be used on death knight pets, especially their very powerful Gargoyles.
- You can use Mass Dispel to get rid of a paladin's Divine Shield or a mage's Ice Block.
- Rogues I know it seems strange that one class would require a special section, but they really do deserve some attention as the priest's unofficial counter class. Rogues are the primary reason you want to keep your shields and HoTs on yourself at all times, since rogues attack with surprise. In arena, they will often wait for a careless priest to let her shield fall off before attacking. Don't leave yourself open to that by being careless! When a rogue does open up his attacks on you, try to outlive his stuns without using your trinket. Just keep spamming a new shield or an instant heal on yourself so when the stun breaks, you can save yourself. (If you're a disc priest with Glyph of Pain Suppression, you can use Pain Suppression while stunned.) A rogue's Blind is one of the most dangerous things he can do, as it will allow him to get out of combat and reopen his attacks on you. Thus, save your trinket for the Blind so you can keep him in combat. An alternative to healing when the stun breaks is to use Psychic Scream and then DoT him with your offensive abilities, especially Devouring Plague. Refresh your shields, HoTs and ProM. If things are desperate, Holy Nova him until you have enough health that you can spare a moment to heal yourself. Just watch out for his kicks.
I'd like to remind PvP pros once more to hit the comments. The endless amounts of tips and tricks that could be supplied will not easily fit in one article, so please share!
To those of you who are new to it all, let me know if you have any questions. If I can't answer them (which is entirely possible when it comes to PvP), I will try to get you to the right resource that can. I'll remind you again that the reason I wrote this article was to try and encourage players, especially raiders, to find their full potential by experiencing their class in every aspect they can. I hope you'll consider it.

NEC and Stratus find fault tolerance with each other
Four-core Xeon box gets hard
Posted in The Channel, 26th March 2007 20:51 GMT
NEC and Stratus have made good on their intellectual property marriage, pumping out a new, beefier fault-tolerant server.
Starting in June, customers can purchase the NEC Express5800/320Fc and the Stratus ftServer 6200 systems. The two-socket servers will run on Intel's four-core version of Xeon code-named 'Clovertown' and work as higher-end complements to existing kit centered on Intel's dual-core 'Paxville' chip. Customers will pick up such systems for the typical fault-tolerant tasks such as running banks or emergency response centers.
NEC is very proud of the engineering goodies added to the latest gear.
On a basic level, you'll find a zippy 1333MHz front side bus, support for 24GB of memory, PCI-X and PCI Express slots, support for both SATA and SAS drives and support for 667MHz DDR2 memory. All of those features stand as improvements over the 320Ma currently sold by NEC with the company improving speed across the board (200 per cent better overall performance) and adding more component options.
Digging deeper, NEC has rigged the 320Fc with its FT Crossbar, which links the processors to the I/O subsystems. The crossbar makes sure that no single point of failure exists inside the server, allowing NEC to boast about its fault tolerance. (The server can crunch through the same data in both memory banks at the same time and execute across both sockets at the same time.)
In short, the NEC system has two servers working on mirrored copies of a single operating system and applications. If one system breaks down, there's no problem as its complement will pick up the work.
Much of this "Lockstep" technology comes from Stratus, which formed even closer ties to NEC back in 2005. The two companies agreed to co-develop systems with NEC placing more emphasis on hardware design and Stratus banging away on code.
The 4U NEC system will run between $47,000 and $60,000 with support for Windows Server Enterprise Edition (R2) 2003 in June and RHEL 4.0 Advanced Server support coming at the end of the fourth quarter. ®

Aborted-baby flavoring in your favorite "foods"?
Oklahoma lawmaker wants to stop Pepsi from using aborted fetus cells in soda flavoring research
Ethan A. Huff
Natural News
2012 January 26
In order to simulate various flavors in processed foods, some food manufacturers are actually using aborted fetal cells to test and produce these artificial chemical enhancers that millions of Americans consume every single day. Concerned about the ethical and moral implications of such a process, Oklahoma Senator Ralph Shortey has introduced new legislation to prohibit this practice from occurring in his home state.
Senomyx, a California-based biotechnology company that specializes in developing food flavorings, is one such company that uses aborted embryonic cells to create "isolated human taste receptors," which are used in the production of food chemicals. And this company has partnered with several major food manufacturers, including Kraft, PepsiCo, and Nestle (http://www.naturalnews.com/032043_human_fetal_cells_artificial_flavors.html).
"There is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted human babies in their research and development of basically enhancing flavor for artificial flavors," Sen. Shortey is quoted as saying by KRMG News Talk Radio. "What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here."
According to Children of God for Life (CGL), a pro-life watchdog group, Senomyx uses HEK 293 to produce its artificial flavor enhancing chemicals. HEK 293 is code for human embryonic kidney cells that are manipulated to produce taste receptors that express a specific protein known as the G protein. But CGL says the company could also use animal, insect, or other more acceptably-derived cells instead, and still procure the same results.

one table or multiple?
I'm writing an app to store 'rulesets' in an SQL database. At the other end, the app will read the data and export it to specifically formatted text files.
The structure of a ruleset is always the same (uid, regex to match, action). A specific rule however will apply to a certain part of the application (eg. whitelist, blacklist, etc.)
Here's my dilema, do I store all the data in one 'ruleset' table with a field for where it is applied, or do I seperate it into seperate tables for each type of ruleset?
Option 1 - one table
uid | rule_type | match | action
Option 2 - multiple tables
uid | match | action
What are the pros and cons of each? To me, multiple tables (Opt2) is easier to work with in the UI and when writing out to files, but requires multiple structural changes if we want to alter how the rulesets are structured. Option 1 is straightforward but requires more WHERE clauses when using the data.
If it helps on performance grounds, there will be more reads than writes to the data.

I didn't get the best idea of the 2 possible options...both only list 1 possible table. W/out knowing what the table architecture is like, I'll give the following...
For your case (a 1 to many relationship, 1 app can have many rules) I'd create 3 tables...2 for each entity and 1 that relates 'em.
RuleSet (ID, Name, action, etc)
Appication (ID, type, name, etc)
RulesToAps (ApplicationID, RuleID, etc)

"Our customers are finding our demo boards really simplify their evaluation process," said Adolfo Garcia, vice president, Applications and Marketing, Touchstone Semiconductor. "We decided to make it even easier for our customers by providing our demo boards free of charge."
Easy to Use Demo Boards with Plenty of Test Points
Every demo board Touchstone makes is designed for simple set up and easy analysis. Just connect a power supply, and users can easily observe the performance of the Touchstone part.
TS1001 Low-Power Op Amp Demo Board
The TS1001 demo board provides both non-inverting and inverting configurations. The TS1001 op amp is the first and only single-supply operational amplifier to cut power requirements at least in half compared to any other amplifier. The TS1001 is fully specified to operate on a 0.8V supply while consuming less than 0.6µA supply current.
TS9001 Low-Power Voltage Monitor Demo Board
The TS9001 demo board contains the push-pull TS9001-1 and the open-drain TS9001-2. Each circuit is configured as a simple threshold detector with additional hysteresis. The TS9001-1 and the TS9001-2 voltage monitor ICs incorporate a +1.252V reference with a 1% initial accuracy. The TS9001-1 offers a robust push-pull output stage with increased output current drive while the TS9001-2 offers an open-drain output stage that can be used in mixed-voltage systems design. Both TS9001s are fully specified to operate from +1.6V to 5.5V supplies while consuming less than 0.65µA supply current.
