It happens so often in Taekwondo that it's almost a cliché - a shy, insecure, self-conscious teenager begins training, builds skills and self-confidence, and starts achieving excellence in class and elsewhere. Soon the introvert transforms into a powerful communicator, valuable team member, and influential leader. Mr. Tyler Wright was just such a student. In class he would rather do push-ups than yell as required. That was five years ago, as a beginner. Now this young gentleman is a 2nd Degree Black Belt and assistant instructor at Master Schreiber's school - one of the most skillful, dependable and passionate teachers on staff, who also helps organize Team PRIDE fundraisers and other events. The fact that great leadership potential is often realized through Taekwondo training might be cliché - but it's a tradition ATA doesn't mind keeping up!
Team PRIDE tuition assistance students often dedicate themselves to Songahm Taekwondo with such enthusiasm and diligence that in time they become some of the school's best leaders. They work hard and practice Songahm life skills in their personal, professional, educational and social lives, extending positive influences into needful places far beyond the dojahng. It is our pleasure to highlight a few of Master Jordan Schreiber's most accomplished students, who repay the kindness of Team PRIDE assistance with achievement and honor in their lives, and with true leadership in their schools and communities.

9th pick in 2nd round? 9 targets for Bills
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 9 2014 1:58PM
The first phase of the 2014 NFL Draft is over and the Buffalo Bills have Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins in their hip pocket after the first round. They moved up five spots in order to draft what many considered to be the top playmaker on offense available, but maintained their second round pick in the process.
With the "win now" mentality on the forefront of their minds for 2014, the Bills will likely have a chance to get an impact player with their second pick in the draft that could have a chance to start immediately for the team.
Just like every round (except for the sixth due to the Mike Williams trade), Buffalo owns the ninth pick. Going into Friday night the Bills could address one of likely four positions with their upcoming selection. What are the positions and who might those names be?
Here are nine names to consider, in no particular order:
Tight End (2)
Troy Niklas, Notre Dame
- The 6-foot-6, 270-pound Niklas is one of the tight ends that made a visit to One Bills Drive. From his body type he draws many comparisons to Rob Gronkowski, but those comparisons need to be halted as premature. He is not a complete player at this point, but one with a good amount of potential if developed the correct way. A converted outside linebacker in his time at Notre Dame, Niklas only had one season of starting experience. He's raw, and might not be able to contribute right away. However, his potential could draw a team like the Bills to investing a pick in him.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
- Listed at 6-foot-5 and 262-pounds, Seferian-Jenkins is another tight end that had a pre-draft visit with the Bills and is someone the team called a "complete tight end" during the pre-draft luncheon. He's a big-bodied pass catcher that isn't an elite athlete, but has outstanding hands and concentration along the sidelines. The lingering concern in his game is the lack of yards after the catch. Among the top tight ends, he had one of the lowest averages in yards after the catch in the 2013 season. Despite that concern, he's a steady, security blanket type of target.
Offensive Tackle (2)
Joel Bitonio, Nevada
A borderline first-round talent thought by many, the 6-foot-4, 302-pound Bitonio was often thought of as a guard early on in the pre-draft process. Once he performed at the Senior Bowl and people started to watch him a bit more, teams became more comfortable with the idea of having Bitonio play at right tackle as well. He has long enough arms to play that spot on the line, and possesses a nasty demeanor on the field. His lack of a defined position might be a turn-off to some, but the Bills said at the pre-draft luncheon they believe he's a tackle in the NFL.
Morgan Moses, Virginia
One of the biggest offensive tackles available in the draft, Moses fits the "we need to get bigger" line of thinking from head coach Doug Marrone to its very core. At 6-foot-6 and 314-pounds, Moses has some of the longest arms in the draft which have led some to believe he could play left tackle in the NFL. His best fit as it stands now is at right tackle, which is just what the Bills are looking for.
Defensive End (3)
Scott Crichton, Oregon State
- The only defensive end the Bills had in for a pre-draft visit in 2014, the 6-foot-3, 273-pound Crichton is a schematic fit for Jim Schwartz's 4-3 defense. He displays terrific effort throughout his time on the field and has shown flashes as a pass rusher. He needs to work on becoming more consistent and develop more moves, but his speed-to-power move is one that can be effective for the Bills in the short-term. He could be well-suited for an early, situational pass rusher role as the third man in.
Kony Ealy, Missouri
- To many, Ealy is considered to be a 'tweener which is likely why he has yet to be drafted. The 6-foot-4, 273-pound college defensive end hasn't established himself as a pass rusher just yet, but that doesn't ruin his value. A team like the Bills could look at him as a versatile style of defender that can be used all over the line depending on the situation. He could come in as an additional pass rusher on obvious passing situations and still be depended on in the run game. He'll never take over a game, but he can be an immediate contributor in many different ways.
Demarcus Lawrence, Boise State
- If the Bills are looking for someone that gives them a potential explosive pass rusher to be their third man, the 6-foot-3, 251-pound Lawrence could be that player. About the same size as Jerry Hughes, Lawrence provides an explosive attack off the edge but doesn't have a well-rounded game to this point in time. The prevailing thought is he has room to get stronger and that might be a necessary component for him in the NFL. Lawrence is versatile and explosive, which could take him off the board quickly in the second round.
Cornerback (2)
Bashaud Breeland, Clemson
A college teammate of the Bills' first-round pick, Breeland has ample enough size for it to not be a problem at the next level. Unlike Stanley Jean-Baptiste, the 5-foot-11, 197-pound cornerback by many accounts has the hips that teams are looking for in their cornerbacks. His speed, specifically in the 40-yard dash (4.62) is not ideal and that has caused him to tumble a bit. While he might not be ready to be a starter right now in the NFL, he could develop into a long-term starter with the right coaching placed ahead of him. He made a pre-draft visit to Buffalo in April.
Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Nebraska
- A definitive projection pick, Jean-Baptiste is getting plenty of buzz around the draft community for his size (6-foot-3, 218-pounds) and how the new style of NFL cornerback fits his mold. He started off his college career as a wide receiver and then was transitioned over to the defensive side, specifically at cornerback. The knock on him, and most of the bigger cornerbacks, is whether or not he has fluid enough hips to turn and run with the faster receivers. There's no doubting that the size is the NFL's current cup of tea, however.
Other names to consider:
TE Jace Amaro, Texas Tech

The Cubs' No. 14 prospect recorded his second two-homer game in a row and his fifth straight with at least one longball Friday night as short-season Boise outslugged Everett, 11-8.
Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with five RBIs and has seven homers during his streak.
The 2011 third-round Draft pick said there isn't any one key to his power surge, attributing it to a laid-back approach that keeps him grounded and relaxed at the plate.
"I've just been trying to be patient at the plate, get good pitches, not chase any and let the ball come to me," he said. "Recently, I've been slowing it down and letting the game come to me. It's felt pretty good, but most of all we're starting to win, and that means to the most to me. It's a good streak right now. Hopefully, we keep it going."
Vogelbach's tear has carried across two levels in the Cubs system since leaving extended spring training at the end of June. In 24 games in the Rookie-level Arizona League, he batted .324 with seven homers, a .391 on-base percentage and .686 slugging percentage.
The 19-year-old first baseman was promoted to the Northwest League at the end of July, and it's mostly been the same story, In 16 games with the Hawks, he's hitting .381 with a league-leading eight homers, 20 RBIs, a .443 OBP and .841 slugging mark.
According to the Fort Myers, Fla.-area high school product, it took a lot of personal development to get to this point.
"I started off slow in extended [spring training] and kind of came out of there with a chip on my shoulder, to prove I belonged," he said. "I think that I came a long way. I was really frustrated in extended, not myself, and I knew it. Instead of fixing it, I just got more and more frustrated.
"And then once the season started, I went back to the old me and it's all coming back the way I want it to."
Overall this year, Vogelbach is hitting .345 with a .411 OBP and .745 slugging percentage in 40 games. He has more extra-base hits (34) than strikeouts (29), drawing 19 walks for good measure.
That kind of rounded profile is what he's looking for.
"I try to pride myself on being a complete hitter, not just a power hitter," he said. "I want to hit for average, limit strikeouts as much as I can, get walks, see pitches and get in hitter's counts. If I do that, the homers will come. I don't want to be that guy that hits 30 homers and hits .220."
Jeimer Candelario backed up Vogelbach on Friday with three hits, including a pair of doubles, two RBIs and three runs scored. Marco Hernandez homered and drove in two runs for Boise, which has won six of its last seven games.

Skip to comments.Report: Chuck Hagel likely to be nominated as next Secretary of Defense
Posted on 12/13/2012 1:51:23 PM PST by SeekAndFind
His name's been kicking around for more than a week but the "likely" part is new.
BREAKING: Former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel likely to be nominated as Secretary of Defense
— Bloomberg News (@BloombergNews) December 13, 2012
NBC is hearing the same thing. Team O has been touting him for appointments since before The One was president, when Hagel was briefly rumored to be in the mix for VP. His name popped up again two years later as a potential successor to Dennis Blair as DNI. He's sort of the perfect Obama appointee: He's a centrist Republican, which burnishes O's phony above-the-fray post-partisan image, and he's known chiefly for harshly criticizing other Republicans, especially on Iraq. In fact, Hagel has the distinction of having voted for the initial invasion of Iraq and then later opposed the surge, which puts him squarely opposite the conventional wisdom on how well each of those ventures worked out. Nevertheless, I assume he'll sail through the confirmation process. The Senate tends to go easy on its alums when they're up for a cabinet post, and if anyone's inclined to come after him for being insufficiently hawkish, the fact that he served with distinction in Vietnam will give him plenty of cover. (He and McCain are good friends so don't expect static from the hawk-in-chief.)
His biggest problem will be answering questions about his past criticism of Israel. For Obama, that's a feature, not a bug, but for other Democrats who have to worry about re-election, not so much. The Washington Free Beacon was on it last week:
"It would be a very unwise and disastrous choice for U.S. policies and activities regarding the Middle East, said Morris Amitay, a former executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)…
Hagels efforts to open up direct negotiations with Iran and its terrorist proxy Hamas have placed him at odds with the pro-Israel community and the majority of Congress.
His legislative record reads like an anti-Israel rap sheet, sources said.
Hagel has declined to sign multiple letters of support for the Jewish state and has balked when presented with opportunities to condemn Tehrans efforts to enrich uranium near levels needed to produce a nuclear weapon.
The Beacon followed up this afternoon by noting that he's a member of the board of Deutsche Bank America despite Deutsche Bank in Germany being under investigation for having possibly evaded sanctions on Iran. That won't stop the Senate from confirming him, but all of the above should add some exciting new nuance to U.S./Israeli military cooperation in O's second term under Secretary Hagel.
Exit question: What does this signal as far as Obama's choice between Kerry and Susan Rice at State? Presumably O's willing to risk only one "difficult" nomination next year; Rice would be difficult, Kerry would not, but what about Hagel? I think he'd actually be relatively easy, his views on Israel notwithstanding, partly because he's an ex-senator and partly because he's a Republican whose chief point of alienation from the party is a war that most of the public now thinks was a mistake. He'll say all (or most) of the right things about Israel in his confirmation hearings and probably get 75 or so votes, which means Obama can then go to the mat on nominating Rice. He'll have already thrown the Republicans a bone, supposedly, by nominating one of their own at Defense, which will help buy him the public's benefit of the doubt about being "reasonable" when partisan war breaks out over Rice.
Update: I see that the left is grumbling on Twitter that nominating a Republican (or rather, another Republican) for Defense sends the message that the GOP is the party of national security, to the point where even Democratic presidents have to cross the aisle to find a suitable appointee at the Pentagon. I don't buy it. For one thing, Panetta's been there for awhile now; for another, O himself has been sufficiently hawkish — ostentatiously so in the case of Bin Laden and the drone campaign and Libya — that Romney's supposed national-security advantage in the last election was completely neutralized at best. It's not Bob Gates who's most closely associated in the public's mind with Obama's counterterror successes, it's Obama himself. The White House has taken great care to make sure of that, and they've succeeded. So, from a purely political standpoint, who cares whether it's an R or D at Defense if it's O in the White House?
When Zero throws Israel under the bus, he can blame the GOP.
He is anti-Israel and a nasty piece of work who was sucking up to the Democrats last I saw him. He was a backstabber (GW Bush)
I suppose I should know this but I don't so I'll ask...is it reasonable for me to assume that Hagel's a RINO? It's hard to imagine any *real* Republican getting within a country mile of the OsamaObama Administration without a hazmat suit on.
Hagal is the VERY Definition of "RINO"!
The Senate could probably filibuster this appointment but that would require a GOP with some guts so it'll happen about the time Hell throws a kegger.
Not only a Rino, he is a major league anti Israel and anti US military a-hole.
There is a brite side (for me).
This will keep Chuck out of Nebraska for a few more years. We have a long tradition of electing people we really don't want around to public office.
O'Bozo wants a Republican to blame for Pansy-fying and downsizing the military.
A McCain clone? They hate each other! Hagel blasted gramps in 2007 for being pro war. Hagel insinuated without comming right out and endorsing he was pro Obama. Hagel and Obama were friends in the senate and worked on nuclear weapons security. Hagel is definitely a RHINO but nothing like Gramps. This will shut gramps out of military no matter what committee he is on. This appointment is a big FU to John.
Somehow the Dems didn't get the memo when John Tower was nominated.
Actually, he is not a McCain clone. He is so left RINO, he makes McCain appear to be to the right of most of the posters on this site (only appears).
All I can say for Hagel is that he is better than Kerry for SecDef - which is why Kerry's name was probably floated.
He may not be on John McCrazy's Christmas card list, but he's definitely an ideological clone. If anything, he's more wishy-washy than McBraindead.
This will be touted by Obamao as a bi-partisan action which is indicative of his non-partisan approach to gov't, and unfortunately, most of the GOPE in the Senate will applaud that statement as true.
Screw them all. The GOP is dead to me. Until all of the entrenched GOPE die off, there is no hope of reviving the party in a Conservative mold. It is time to build, aggressively, a third party Libertarian Conservative coalition and party.
I do not disagree on wish washy, but when it comes to military they are very much opposed. This is why Hagel did everything but endorse Obama. Hagel came out during election and opposed gramps on Iraq. Also where was Hagel when Katrina happened? With Obama in Russia on a trip over security for nuclear weapons security. Gramps is all about military and him and Hagel are completely opposite here. Hagel prefers diplomacy and gramps not so much.
Leon Panetta himself was "once" a Republican Congressman representing the 16th District in California, back about 1973, but switched parties when he became "appalled" with the Republicans when Nixon had to resign over Watergate.
Chuck Hagel is another RINO who never had much party allegiance, much like former Florida Charlie Crist, who only recently changed from "Republican" to "Democrat", probably one of the more honest actions he has undertaken in his career.
I kind of see a pattern here, the Current Regime reaching out for somebody who has SOME credibility for the job, and it just happens, most of them were at one time or another, associated with the Republicans in the past.
But of course, it was the party that left them, not the other way around.
An affirmative action hire for the mentally insane.
I have a longstanding personal commitment to observe that former Senator Hagel is an imbecile of the first order. Having him a Sec Def will be a string of imbecilities, possibly leading to military catastrophy. In short, a natural fit for Obama's cabinet.

I did not press post 4 times. Sorry.
What Hagal is for sure is a big time mogul in the vote counting machine business...Its a fact..! Maybe, just maybe, this is the big payoff...??
Although he started off as a very liberal Republican, Panetta never served in office as a Republican. He worked for the ultraliberal RINO CA U.S. Senator Tom Kuchel (who was defeated in the 1968 GOP primary), then in Nixon's HEW Department before working for the execrable RINO-turned-Democrat NYC Mayor Lindsay. Panetta then ran for office as a Democrat, defeating GOP Congressman Burt Talcott in 1976.
Wow.. that dredged up an old memory... wasn't it Max Rafferty who took him out in the primary?
Yup. And then a lot of the GOP establishment was loathe to support Rafferty, who then lost to the execrable Alan Cranston. Had Kuchel won renomination and reelection, he would've become Republican Senate Leader upon Everett Dirksen's death in September 1969 (as he had been Minority Whip since Dirksen was elevated in 1959 after Bill Knowland made his ill-advised attempt to switch offices with Gov. Goodwin Knight).
As bad as we think of our RINOs today, we had a real motley crew of ultra-Socialist Republican Senators in those days (Kuchel, Brooke, Mathias, Case, Javits, et al), some voting identical to or even to the left of the most far-left Democrats (such as Ted Kennedy, who was at least pro-life in the early days).
Quite a rogue's gallery of Rockefelleroid Repubs there...
no worries
the point can't be overstated
It bothers me that these traitor swine give the dark lord Obama the veneer of "bipartisanship".
You take a job from Obama and you were never a real Republican, period. No position is non-partisan, quite the opposite, defense is hyper-partisan these days.

Suspect allegedly posted on Facebook that assistant district attorney prosecuting him for another crime "will soon perish."
A second Texas man has been charged with threatening a Kaufman County prosecutor in the wake of the slayings of the the district attorney and one of his deputies.
Robert Allan Miller, 52, was arrested Thursday night and is being held on $1 million bail for allegedly posting a threat on Facebook against Assistant District Attorney Daniel Floyd, who was prosecuting him on another, unspecified charge.
Miller wrote that he "expect[s]" that Floyd "will soon perish, bringing closure to an era of unacceptable practices and allowing Kaufman County residents to move forward with liberty and justice," WFAA-TV reported.
Wednesday, 56-year-old Nick Morale, of Terrell, Texas, was also charged with making terroristic threats and is being held on $1 million bail. The criminal complaint states he called a tip line created to assist the investigation of last weekend's murders of Kaufman District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife and identified a county official as "the next victim.''
STORY: Man accused of making threats in Texas DA case
On Jan. 31, assistant D.A. Mark Hasse was shot dead as he walked to the courthouse.
Authorities said there's no evidence that Miller and Morale are linked to the slayings. On Thursday, Texas officials increased the reward to $200,000 for information that will catch the killers.
McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were buried Friday after an hour-long funeral attended by about 300 mourners in a small church in Wortham, Texas. An urn holding her ashes was placed inside his casket.
Security video from a gun shop showed McLelland shopping for protection for his worried staff last Friday afternoon, CBS News reported. He and his wife were found slain the next day in their home.
"He didn't seem like anything was going to happen to him. He was invincible. He was happy," said store owner O'Neill Kidwill. "Everything was good in his world."

Recently, I've grown slightly annoyed at watching threads be first derailed and then completely wrecked by people piling in publically demanding that it be graveyarded, locked, moved, or that a particular poster be infracted and their posts deleted for whatever reason. Needless to say, this isn't really helpful to the community as a whole, as it's pretty crappy to have your thread publicly derided, nor is it helpful even to the moderators, who may turn up to find a thread that was salvageable turned into a complete mess.
If it's only a matter of time until a moderator spots the issue and rectifies it, then leaving the thread or post alone is fine, should a moderator have missed the problematic thread or post, then you can alert them through private message, report function or even on IRC if they're currently present.
- Use the report button
- Contact a moderator
- Be hostile in directing a poster to a thread with a similar topic in case of duplicate threads.
- Publically note an infractable offense, there are private ways to go about this, and unnecessary drama is... Unnecessary
- "in b4 gravyard" (The post won't go towards your post count if the thread is Graveyarded and you risk an infraction for spamming if the thread is not in fact Graveyard worthy)

So, about our budget fashion and style advice: We sometimes use affiliate links, so we might earn a buck or two if you click and buy :) !
So Jennifer Aniston, with her toned legs (ok, who are we kidding . . . her toned EVERYTHING), is basically the model of pencil skirt-wearing perfection. Not quite sporting the Aniston physique (not to mention bank account)
How to Wear Pencil Skirts
1. Choose the Right Length
Pencil skirts come in three basic lengths- about two full thumb's length above the knee, at the knee, and two full thumbs length below the knee. The best length in general is at your knee as that tends to be the smallest part of a woman's leg- where ever the skirt ends is where the eye will travel or you could try this tip:
Simply, take a measuring tape to your shins (middle of knee cap to ankle bone) and note the number. Then, switch directions and measure from mid knee cap to your hip hone.
1. To find out your ideal skirt length, subtract the smaller number from the longer number.
2. Halve that number.
3. If your shins are shorter than your thighs, the number in #2 is the height above your knee that your skirt should hit. If your shins are longer than your thighs, drop the number length below your knee.
However, choosing the right length is also based on personal preference as well as particular situations. Here's a quick guide.
For Work: At knee or below the knee
For Dates: Above the knee
For Church: At knee or below the knee
Over 50: At the knee or below the knee
2. Bottom Heavy? Go a Size Up and Get it Tailored.
Pencil skirts on those who are bottom heavy tend to pull across the middle (from one side of your hip to the other), causing an unslightly "whiskering/wrinkle" effect. If you're got a bit extra in the hip area, buy the skirt one full size larger and get it tailored to your body.
3. Pay Attention to Your Side
Most people pay attention to the way pencil skirts look from the front- which can be deceiving if you have a tummy or a pouch. When trying on pencil skirts, ALWAYS TURN TO THE SIDE, and see what the skirt looks like from the side view. If you notice a pouch, consider purchasing a size larger and get it tailored and/or make sure to wear a body shaper with the skirt.
4. Petite? Tuck it in. Tall? Leave It Out
If you're petite, tucking the shirt in will make your legs look longer. If you're tall, leaving the top out will make your torso look longer. The same rules apply to those who have long torsos (tuck it in to create a midline waist) or shorter torsos (where it out to create a longer waist, thus elongating your top portion).
5. Go For Color
While black is the go to color for pencil skirts, we here at TBF feel that you should look into other color options like blue and red. A word of caution: if you're bottom heavy steer away from colored pencil skirts unless you're trying to accent your lower half.

December 2010 E-News Brief
Docomomo International: Mexico 2010 Conference Travelogue
Written by Jack Pyburn, DOCOMOMO US/Georgia
(author: second from right)
I was first in Mexico City in 1957 as a 13-year-old on a church youth trip with my new camera in tow. Consequently, the trip to the international meeting of DOCOMOMO in Mexico City 53 years later was an extra special experience. I now have two sets of photographs (one set of Kodachrome slides and one digital) from virtually the same vantage point of the Alameda Park in the Historico Centro, the top of the Latin Americana Tower (completed in 1956) and the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM, opened in 1954). When one traces significant influences in their life, for me the 1957 Mexico City trip was formative. It influenced my professional career, a love for travel and an initial attraction to modernist work.
Francine Stock, president of DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana, has written a compelling narrative about the current situation of the mid-century public schools in New Orleans. Featured in the recent MAS Context journal, the piece discusses the significance of the architecture to its climate and landscape, and how the process to discuss their future has failed.
Click here to read the article and the MAS Context journal in its entirity.
With no local protection, the Los Angeles Conservancy is seeking public comments to the EIR. Comments after December 10th should be directed to the Palos Verdes Estates City Council, which will make the ultimate decision on the fate of the Moore House.
Zonnestraal Sanatorium
The History and Restoration of a Modern Monument
Paul Meurs and Marie-Thérèse van Thoor (eds.)
The birth and history of DOCOMOMO is closely related with the preservation of the former Zonnestraal Sanatorium. The building, which is emblematic of Functionalism or Nieuwe Bouwen in the Netherlands, is a national monument of international significance and a globally recognized icon of the the Dutch arm of the International Modern Movement. Designed by the architects Jan Duiker and Bernard Bijvoet in 1925, the building is internationally regarded as one of the highlights of twentieth century architecture.
The complex was originally intended for diamond polishers who had contracted tuberculosis. In the Zonnestraal Sanatorium (the name meaning 'Ray of Sunshine'), they could follow a long-term course of therapy and recuperate under medical supervision. The white buildings were constructed in concrete, steel and glass and were completed in 1928, with the expectation that they would be in use for a limited period once a treatment for tuberculosis was found.
By the early 1960s the complex had fallen into ruin. The restoration of the main building, supervised by the architects Hubert-Jan Henket and Wessel de Jonge, founders of DOCOMOMO, was completed in 2009, culminating some four decades of advocacy, research and planning. The battle for recognition of Zonnestraal's importance and the complex process of the building's restoration reads like a mystery novel, but it also constitutes a critical dossier on best practice in the curatorial management of modern monuments. Mostly recently the building was nominated for World Heritage listing.
The sanatorium's exceptional past is traced using historical images, photographs and drawings ,while, at the same time, showing the remarkable outcome of the restoration. Dutch and international experts describe the origins of the Zonnestraal complex and the surrounding landscape, the changes it has undergone over the course of time, and the architectural, technical, landscape- and policy-related aspects of the restoration process. The result is a colorful portrait of one of the most significant examples of the Nieuwe Bouwen.

The San Francisco 49ers have had enough of Brandon Jacobs' griping. The team has suspended the unhappy running back for the rest of the regular season, citing conduct detrimental to the team.
According to a person who spoke to Jacobs after he was told of his suspension, the former New York Giant is saying he'll only play for one other team – the Giants. The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity, cautioned Jacobs could always change his mind. But for now, he's only interested in a return to the team that drafted him in 2005 and kept him around for seven seasons.
OMINOUS TWEETS: Describe drinking before Cowboys crash
Of course, the 49ers realize they could see Jacobs in the postseason if they release him, which is probably why they suspended him instead. Jacobs also has an intimate knowledge of the Niners' playbook, which would also make him attractive to any team facing San Francisco in the postseason.
The person with knowledge of Jacob's plans said Jacobs will file a grievance and fight this in hopes of getting reinstated or released.
On Monday, after the suspension, someone tweeted to Jacobs that he shouldn't have left the Giants, because the grass isn't always greener. He replied, "Roger That."
Jacobs also tweeted: "Thank you all for all your support, I am doing wonderful it's not a big deal things happen, I am strong enough to get through this, again thank all of you for your support. #IWILLBEBACK."
Like any player released after the trading deadline, Jacobs would have to pass through waivers, so there's no guarantee he'd land with the Giants – if they're interested in a reunion, that is. Rookie running back David Wilson emerged for them on Sunday night with 327 all-purpose yards, but starter Ahmad Bradshaw has had neck, foot and knee issues. Bradshaw was undergoing an MRI Monday to check out his knee after briefly leaving Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.
GOOD NEWS FOR REDSKINS: RGIII has mild knee sprain
Jacobs has been unhappy with his role (or non-role) in San Francisco. He has played in only two games with five carries for just 7 yards. He began griping about his situation back in October when he told USA TODAY Sports and another outlet he was "just here doing what I've got to do, listening to people, practicing every day. That's all I can do."
Jacobs meant that in the context that he'd yet to dress for a game despite claiming he'd fully recovered from a knee injury suffered in the preseason.
Last week, Jacobs tweeted he was "rotting away" on the 49ers' sideline. That came after last month, when he tweeted not to work "where you hate your boss," though he later claimed he wasn't talking about the 49ers.
That was before the matchup with the Giants, who cut Jacobs in the spring after the two sides couldn't agree on a reduction of his base salary of almost $5 million. Jacobs' deal with the 49ers was for one season and $1.1 million, with the chance to earn more via incentives. He will now be unpaid for the final three weeks of the regular season.
It remains to be seen what the 49ers will do with him should they make the playoffs, as expected.

Big companies allot 18.4% of their search budgets for mobile, Marin Software says.
Bill Siwicki
Between January and December 2012, search engine marketing firm Marin Software Inc.'s U.S. clients saw their share of Google paid search clicks from mobile devices rise from 14.2% to 23.4%, the firm reveals. In that same period, advertisers increased their share of search budget on mobile devices from 10% to 18.4%, Marin says.
Marin Software studied clients in 13 countries that together manage more than $4 billion in annual paid search spending. The data represents all major industry sectors, including retail, Marin says. Marin's clients are mainly large advertisers spending upwards of $100,000 per month on paid search; as such, the data is biased toward larger advertisers and may not reflect mobile search trends for small or medium-sized businesses, Marin adds. The company declined to break out the number of clients in the U.S.
The average paid search ad click-through rate for Marin Software's U.S. clients in 2012 was 2.28% on desktop computers, 4.72% on smartphones and 3.12% on tablets, Marin reports.
The average paid search ad cost per click for Marin's U.S. clients in 2012 was 75 cents for desktop computers, 48 cents for smartphones, and 62 cents for tablets.
The average paid search ad conversion rate for Marin's U.S. clients in 2012 was 3.9% on desktop computers, 2.8% on smartphones and 3.3% on tablets.
"It's important to note that conversion rates for tablet devices are improving relative to desktops and smartphones," Marin Software says. "During 2012, tablets saw a 31% increase in conversion rates, compared to 9% for smartphones and 7% for computers."
Though smartphones underperformed on conversion rates, more research is warranted on their role in paid search, the marketing firm says.
"Being inherently mobile, smartphones are used differently and many conversions may be happening in a physical store, making them hard to track," the company says. "Additionally, the rise of shopping apps makes conversion tracking more complex and somewhat opaque. As such, the value of smartphone advertising is more dependent on the type of advertiser and product, and marketers should keep an open mind about their efficacy."
The distinction between tablets and desktop computers, however, disappeared earlier this month when Google began lumping tablets in with desktops in the way it offers paid search ads. The only distinction Google now allows advertisers to make is between smartphones and desktops (including tablets).

The Ishaqzaade actor steals the show totally in the very first trailer of her new Karan Johar-Anurag Kashyap film
Parineeti Chopra and Siddharth Malhotra come together for the very first time in Hasee Toh Phasee. And we must say that Pari has bowled us over in the trailer itself. This bubbly Chopra stands tall against the Student of the Year reputation of the very good looking hero of her film, Siddharth. This is a romantic comedy that revolves around the unusual gal Meeta (Parineeti) – we hear she plays a mad scientist – and a regular working class guy, Nikhil (Siddharth). You can see the transformation in Parineeti as Meeta, from a short haired tomboy who refuses to smile to a girl next door who is in love and can't stop smiling. Our guess is that Sid has the herculean task of bringing a smile to the grumpy yet soft hearted Pari's pretty face. Will our hero manage to get Meeta to flash her pearlies?
This film is directed by Vinil Mathew and also stars Adah Sharma as the second female lead. Enjoy this bumpy fun ride, BollywoodLifers, and share your giggles as love goes cuckin frazy!

For Immediate ReleaseAugust 30, 2002
The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) awarded a total of over $225,350,000 to tribal, state and local law enforcement agencies this month to hire almost 1,900 additional officers and to purchase much needed crime fighting technology and equipment. The grants were awarded through COPS Universal Hiring Program (UHP), Making Officer Redeployment Effective (MORE), and Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP).
"Throughout the nation, state and local law enforcement agencies are being called upon to enhance the services they provide," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "They are working to further reduce crime in our neighborhoods, and they're embracing expanded responsibilities for securing our homeland. This month's COPS grants will help them meet these challenges and better protect the communities they serve."
COPS Universal Hiring Program awards funds for state and local law enforcement agencies to hire additional officers to patrol communities. COPS provides up to 75 percent of the cost of salary and benefits for each new hire. The MORE program increases the time law enforcement officers have available to patrol neighborhoods by funding technology that supports more efficient operations. The Tribal Resources Grant Program helps Native American law enforcement agencies hire and train officers, and purchase critical crime fighting equipment and technology.
Since 1995, COPS has awarded more than $6 billion in grants to over 12,400 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. For additional information about COPS programs, or to learn which departments were awarded grants in August, 2002, please visit the COPS website at http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/.

What i need to do, to download this photo for my college search?
Thanks for post!) Very interesting!)
In light of the debate on how to judge how large a picture truly is, I have a blog post I just wrote proposing stringent rules for how to measure this. ideas.4brad.com/definition-pixels- worlds-biggest-photos
Parabéns pela foto e ainda mais tirada da cidade mais bonita do mundo. Tambem sou fã desse gigapan, mas pela impossibilidade de acesso ao equipamento, acabei improvisando um "Gigapan Tabajara" o que me permitiu tirar fotos de até 700mb. ( www.flickr.com/photos/leandrolucia no/3318772693 )
The artefacts that you have noticed are software glitches, as the stitching software that we are using is still in beta as indeed is the whole GigaPan project and is still being tested and refined by the scientists involved. You have noticed correctly that there are still some issues in regards to architectural images and shift rendering algorithms to some extent. Fixed aperture and focus were maintained throughout. Thanks for your enquiry. pay per click neon lights
It's not the biggest any more - www.gigapan.org/gigapans/66626/ is. Much bigger. There is also an interesting debate about how a gigapan "really is". It turns out that this is not an easy question to answer because, in essence, quality is subjective: one person's "crap" is another person's "wow - I'm amazed you even got that to stitch"
Well it's the biggest panorama, but it's quality is totally crap. For me the 111 gigapixel of Sevilla is much sharper and nicer because of the nice colours etc. This image is only made to be the biggest but not the most nice one.
Beautiful photos. You can use services editing.
I finally was able to stitch and upload my panorama as mentioned in the early post on this image, you may check it out at www.gigapan.org/gigapans/66626/
As I had mentioned in an earlier GigaPan of yours, www.gigapan.org/gigapans/54825/ I hope to see such phenomenal work done on two GigaPans of Hong Kong, which both would be *awesome* Congrats on this current milestone.
This image is an amazing achievement - congratulations! I am also amazed that it is not No. 1 at gigapan.org. As to the comments about bigness, my own opinion is that gigapanography is *not* photography. The whole point of gigapans is to engage people in the world of others. Artistic merit is not necessary for this although it helps. What is more important (imo) is the amount of detail in the image - the more detail the more the "Wow" factor and hence the more peple that get involved in learning about other people's worlds. So provided the image is sharp then bigness is everything because that implies more detail.
I would like to compliment the spectacular shooting, intended to make school for all photographers who come to this magnificent photographic technique that allows us to Gigapan do. Congratulations again! Bravissimo! Ghelfi Vittorio (Italy) Desidero complimentarmi per la spettacolare ripresa fotografica, destinata a fare scuola per tutti i fotografi che si avvicinano a questa magnifica tecnica fotografica che GIGAPAN ci permette di fare. Complimenti ancora! Bravissimo! Vittorio Ghelfi (Italia)
Fantástico, simplesmente, fantástico, sou um amante da fotografia, adorei esta, meus Parabéns a quem tanto trabalho levou a este final feliz. OBRIGADO por este presente.
Hallo Good Photo, but size is not everything. I think you can make this picture 16 times smaller, without loosing something. I do it also with my Panoramas. I make the new ones 4 or 16 times smaller. You can save time in postprocessing and the upload time is match faster. Also the gigapan server will like you, for this. But sometimes I think, maybe some people don't look at my pictures because the are only 0.5 Gigapixel big. But acutely the were 8 Gigapixel big. I think it would be good when gigapan would measure the information (Contrast between pixels) in the picture and not only the pixels-count. And display the Information-count. If the transition Quality is good or bad, can everybody see, most of the time, easily. But how much Information the Photo really has, is very difficult to see, because the Photos are so big. Also Gigapan could save disk-space and energy. Because people would downsize the Panoramas by them self. What are you thinking, or do they work on this anyway.
THIS IS THE WORD'S LARGEST PHOTO. Esta é a maior fotografia do mundo. Made in Brazil. À paz... saudações (Greetings...!) Parabéns" (Congratulations!) A maior foto do mundo tem 152 gigapixels. Mede a altura de um prédio e a largura de dois quarteirões. Feita no Brasil, por um grupo de pesquisadores do Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (Impa), no Rio de Janeiro. O grupo liderado pelo fotógrafo e matemático Luiz Velho quebrou duas vezes a barreira da maior foto do mundo. A primeira foi uma foto do Corcovado com 67 gigapixels. E a segunda, uma imagem do Pão de Açúcar que tem mais do que o dobro disso. "Nós pensamos 'vamos ver onde podemos chegar, qual é o limite da resolução na fotografia, o quanto de detalhes é possível capturar com um equipamento digital'", explica Velho, que já foi fotógrafo profissional e câmera de cinema antes de se dedicar à matemática. Para gerar a maior foto do mundo, foram necessárias seis mil imagens de 18 megapixels cada, em um processo de captura que levou mais de quatro horas. A equipe usou uma Canon T2i, um robô Epic Pro que facilita a captura das imagens e um software de sincronização para juntar as milhares de imagens em um mesmo panorama. Todos os envolvidos no instituto são pesquisadores renomados em matemática e computação, e se reuniram em 20 de julho sob "condições perfeitas" para aquela foto. Tatiana Mello Dias.

I'll agree with Xrez - This image is not an accomplishment, at least, not in the way it has been intended to be. Jeffrey Martin
Just as a point of reference we shot from this exact same spot a couple of years ago with a 300mm lens and a 21 Megapixel 1Ds Mark III. goo.gl/rwx0 . Our viewer will only zoom into a 1:1 pixel ratio and the gigapan viewer zooms to 2:1 or 3:1 feel free to take a snap shot of ours scale it and compare it to this image. My eyes judge it as being very close to the same amount of detail. Although this image has a bit more depending on where you look. I'll dig around and see if I can find my original stitch file but I think we were at around 5 gigapixels. (our sky doesn't count for res since it was 35mm images scaled to match the res of the ground)
The Questar was a pretty good scope but most Mak's don't have a very flat field. In general I think somebody will make a 1TP using a telescope but they will want to use a field flattener or expensive telescope that actually produces a sharp field over a good range on their camera. I just ordered an R-C telescope and I am curious as to how it will be for photography. Many telescopes of course come with fancy motorized mounts and there is even software to control some of them for panos. Obviously the gigapan epic won't hold the big ones though it might hold a Questar.
I have a Questar Seven with a prime focal length of 2540 mm. If I can connect a digital camera to it I may be able to exceed the 1 Terapixel threshold. Mind you, I'll need to add a bigger memory card and a couple of big hard drives :-)) The optics of the Questar are diffraction limited to ~.65 arc-seconds. It has a Cervit mirror. Focal ratio f/13.6

|In response to Re: thanks for advise
: : I am finishing basement.My dilema is i need a diagram
: : or some means of configuring a way to install sewer ejector pump,toilet,sink, slop sink and tie all of this into an existing waste line that only alows me 4 feet of piping space to add these to toilet,and a washer that already tied into main waste line.
: How much free help do you want to get? The sewage ejector pump can handle all of the waste that you mention, in all of the space that you mention. The plumbing that you are talking about doing in the finishing of the basement is plumbing that requires both an electrical and building and safety permit, as well as plumbing inspection, because the work that you do will be concealed. When you sell the house, the lack of a permit will cause the sale to be held up, until a permit is obtained and inspection is completed, and if it isn't approved they'll call the health department and condemn the house. So....with that said, You design the new toilet to drain a four inch waste line gravity flow to a trench and hole in the basement floor to receive the plastic sump that the grinder pump, float and inlet outlet will fit in. Then design where the lavatory, sink, and slop sink will hang, and gravity pipe their drain to that toilet waste line. Then design the vent to get from the fixtures to the existing vent line to the roof. In that trench, you'll need a shelf about 12 inches wide 12 inches above the gravity sewer and 26 inches below the concrete floor for your electrical conduit (Waterproof) to come from somewhere (Do you need to install a sub-panel?) to get to the plastic sump to power the pump. Then design your pressure discharge from the pump to dump into the existing toilet waste line, at a sanitary tee which provides drainage and venting. There you have it. Backfill, compact, place re-bar, and pour concrete. Maybe you want to think about having a LICENSED plumber do the job.
Thankyou for the advise.
