If they are gonna put a turbo on the forester, why not do some ground breaking design like and STi forester? If I were to buy one, (and thats a big IF, I cant stand new stuff) I wouldnt buy one unless it had the 300+ hp 2.5L in it.
Dont get me wrong, I think its awesome that they are making a 250+ hp forester, but with it sittin @ 276 hp, why not just buy an older XT forester and put a FMIC on it and a bigger turbo and you just passed 275 hp.

it's more towards globalization... like you can find a Starbucks and KFC anywhere, as if anywhere (San Paulo, Santiago, Bankok, Lhasa, Quito, Tegucigalpa(that's for you JesZek , Beijing), is Seattle, Portland or Atlants.

Mount Union Students Debate Affirmative Action
May 05, 2010
On April 12, students, faculty and staff gathered in Bracy Hall for the Mount Union College student debate entitled "Resolved that: 'A Free Society Should Allow Affirmative Action Preferences in Higher Education.'"
Students arguing for Affirmative Action were Leland Spencer, a senior communication studies major of Massillon; John Nelson, a junior art major of Akron; Philip Bufford, a senior religious studies major of Akron; and Tanya Frampton, a senior history major of Leetonia.
Students arguing against affirmative action were Gregory Reichart, a sophomore history major of Sharpsville, PA; Chrystal Farmer, a senior political science major of New Waterford, John Highman, a senior political science major of Canton; and Mary Ellen Ditchey, a sophomore French major of Warren.
Dr. Turnquist, interim vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College, who provided opening and closing remarks, began the debate by saying the topic of Affirmative Action "is a topic that may stir more passion than those debated previously."
Spenser set the tone of the debate by putting keywords into perspective.
"The affirmative position in today's debate is a world wherein Affirmative Action is one permissible course of action," said Spenser.
Some benefits of Affirmative Action include creating more diversity in and out of the classroom. The diversity creates a higher quality, well-rounded education.
"The quality of education is enhanced when interacting and debating with others unlike ourselves is possible," said Frampton.
Some against Affirmative Action say that it creates reverse discrimination. Bufford said this notion illustrates the white male as a victim.
"Those against Affirmative Action want people to honestly believe that qualified white males cannot obtain adequate education to sustain their livelihood because white males are ousted out of educational opportunities simply because they are white males," he said.
"Affirmative Action is a beacon of hope for African Americans who may be living in New Orleans whose homes may have been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, said Nelson. "Maybe a student is studying to become an architect so he can rebuild his community."
Those opposing Affirmative Action said it could be demeaning to those who receive privileges based on it and is a form of reverse discrimination.
"Do we want to cheapen their success by saying that Affirmative Action is the only way they got in?" asked Reichart.
Referring to students in inner city schools where the education is not the best, Highman said, "Affirmative Action takes a few select people from those situations as says, 'okay we will give you a boost because we know you will succeed.' What does it do for everybody else? It just lets them fail."
He continued by discussing how this is reverse discrimination.
"What happens to the poor white person from inner-city Cleveland? They had to go through the same educational system as the African-Americans, said Highman. "What happens to them? We just forget about them."
Opposing side also said Affirmative Action was the government's way of making up for past discrimination. "Giving preference to certain people in groups because they were oppressed in the past is just as unjust as the original discrimination," said Farmer.
The debate was judged by Dr. Mary Eicholtz, assistant professor of communication; Dr. Clara Becerra, assistant professor of foreign languages; Robert Garland, director of libraries; Fendrich Clark, assistant professor of communication; Dr. Lee Gray, professor of geology and Dr. Ernest Pratt, assistant professor of education.
First prize of $70.00 was awarded to Spenser, second prize of $60.00 was awarded to Bufford and third prize of $50.00 was awarded to Farmer.
Dr. Martin Horning, professor of economics, served as moderator.
The student debates, organized by Dr. Santosh Saha, professor of history, have been held for the past fourteen years.

Harrison's new PATH station will accommodate the city's growing residential and commercial ridership needs, while also serving as a gateway to Red Bull Arena. The new station will allow for increased travel on the entire Newark-World Trade Center PATH line with the addition of longer platforms that can accommodate 10-car trains instead of the current eight-car limit.
The expansive initiative, which coincides with Harrison's burgeoning residential and business growth, is expected to create more than 450 jobs while generating more than $344 million in regional economic activity. The work will continue in stages without interrupting rail service and the project is expected to be complete by 2017.
"As commuter ridership and transportation needs grow, we must continue to make necessary infrastructure modernization investments," said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. "This much-needed PATH project represents another positive step in making Harrison a vibrant, mixed-use commuter transit hub while spurring community revitalization, job creation and business investment in Harrison and the region."
The existing Harrison PATH station opened in 1936 and was not suitable for renovation because it was too outmoded for the city's current and future ridership needs. The new station's design will fit the surrounding area's redevelopment, as it transforms from an industrial warehouse area to a commercial and residential center.

''IT'S showtime,'' a busker on the Royal Mile roared and the crowds cheered yet again. When wasn't it showtime in Edinburgh in August?
You couldn't go out the door without tripping over a fire-breathing, sword-swallowing juggler in a kilt. You couldn't walk down the street without meeting a satyr, a man-size baby, a lassie covered in piercings or a spaceman on stilts, all shoving leaflets at you about their latest shows. You couldn't get to the pub without weaving through African dancers or a brace of punks pogo-leaping to Scotland the Brave.
This was Edinburgh's wild festival fringe, a huge event with hundreds of acts that turned the grey, rainy city into a non-stop carnival. Over at the tents in Charlotte Square Gardens, in the city's genteel north, things were a little less frenetic, but still buzzing.
Here the literati flocked to the 2012 Edinburgh International Book Festival, the world's largest public celebration of the written word, attracting more than 800 authors and a record 225,000 visitors.
Under the benign gaze of Prince Albert's statue, we plodded gamely around the duckboards laid over the sodden grass, past startling images of famous authors pulling faces (the work of photographer Chris Close) and congregated in the tents to revere, as the local accent has it, ''bukes''.
Ian McEwan told us that when he was writing his novel Saturday, about a neurosurgeon, he did his research in the operating theatre: ''I rather liked the sight of myself in scrubs.''
He was amazed at the disgraceful state of the men's changing room. Nobody knew he wasn't a doctor, and when a couple of medical students humbly asked him to explain an operation, he obliged. ''I've always wondered how they did in their finals.''
Historian and novelist A.N. (Andrew) Wilson explained how he came to write his historical novel about the Wedgwood family, The Potter's Hand, after growing up with a father who worked as managing director for the Wedgwoods. ''My brother and I sometimes look at our hands and realise they are the first hands since the
18th century in our family that are not potters' hands.''
Poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy said she'd had a poem banned 25 years ago, ''when Meryl Streep was prime minister''. An invigilator for a school examination decided she had written it to incite knife crime among the young, so the poem was replaced in the anthology by a blank page.
Duffy responded with a poem she read to us - it was a series of exam questions, all drawn from the use of knives in Shakespeare's plays.
John Lanchester wondered what would happen when his novel, Capital, was published in Germany, where it has the oddly familiar title Das Kapital.
''I'll turn up to events and they'll say I look remarkably well for someone 193 years old,'' he said.
And there was more … an earnest Zadie Smith in a watermelon-coloured turban; Howard Jacobson complaining that winning the Man Booker prize spoiled his plot; Pat Barker on the price of war; the prolific Peter Ackroyd forgetting the conclusion of one of his earlier books.
I'll write about them in coming columns. But my abiding memory of Edinburgh is the lugubrious Will Self. He was delightfully cheeky to his chair, Stuart Kelly, (musing on metaphor, he managed to call Kelly ''spinsterish'') and then read an excerpt from his novel Umbrella about firing a machine gun called Vicky, while the nightly Edinburgh Tattoo fireworks boomed in the background. It was a fitting way to celebrate the buke.

Rep. Chuck McGrady, R-Henderson, has been selected to chair the newly created County Caucus in the N.C. General Assembly.
RALEIGH – The leadership of the North Carolina Senate and House of Representatives has named Rep. Chuck McGrady, R-Henderson, chair of the newly created County Caucus.
The County Caucus is a group formed by the 26 legislators who are former county commissioners, and it was formed to provide a forum for those legislators to discuss and exchange information about legislation that could affect counties.
"I was pleasantly surprised when my peers asked me to chair the new County Caucus. I enjoyed my service as a Henderson County commissioner, and this gives me an opportunity to continue my work on behalf of counties," McGrady stated in a news release. "Typically, the counties are most concerned about getting mandates and then not getting money to implement the mandates. I want to keep that from happening."
The County Caucus got a quick start by sponsoring an educational session for new legislators. With help from UNC's Institute of Government and the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC), the County Caucus hosted a "County 101" session to inform new legislators as to how counties are typically the mechanism for implementing state programs whether relating to social services, public health or a myriad of other state-mandated programs.
Rebecca Troutman, the NCACC's Intergovernmental Relations Director, noted the County Commissioners Association was excited about the official recognition of the new caucus and said, "It really speaks to the vibrant nature of the state/county partnership in North Carolina."
Sen. Jim Davis, R-Macon, is the Senate co-chair of the new caucus, and Rep. Becky Carney, D-Mecklenburg, and Sen. Earline Parmon, D-Forsyth, are caucus vice-chairs.
McGrady was the NCACC's "Outstanding County Commissioner" in 2009 prior to his election to the North Carolina House.

Well, I think we already know the answer. But to truly and objectively find out, the two of us sat down over the weekend and read some of these celebrity fiction novels.
Each character has a ridiculous name that looks like it came out of a drunken game of Boggle: Ci~L, Theophilus, Zarpessa Zarionneax, and of course the main character, Tookie de la Creme, who has a sister named Myrracle and a mother named Creamy. Creamy. And she's not a French porn star, either. The plot, which is a direct ripoff of Harry Potter, is laughable. But what's worse is just how seriously Tyra takes this novel. At over 500 pages (and the first in a trilogy), this is a huge chunk of word vomit. And listening to her talk about it is like listening to Kanye West explain what a "motha-fuckin' JEE-nyus" he is.
"And then Tookie put on the sash of magic modelling powers that she got from a doctor with rollerskates for feet and it helped her avoid the man-eating monster made of nothing but musical instruments." No, this isn't the ramblings of a 5 year old on a sugar high (Axe Cop, anyone?), this is Tyra Banks' Modelland, where pulling anything out of your ass is considered 'brilliant.'
Don't believe us? Read an excerpt. Yes, this actually happened, and no, it has nothing to do with the story whatsoever.
Genius, Tyra. Pure genius. Who said all supermodels were dumb, right?
For those of you fortunate enough to not know her, Lauren Conrad was the star of that awful reality show The Hills, where she and her friends... stood around being rich and beautiful? There wasn't a whole lot more to it than that. And so, much like an episode of The Hills, this book has very little substance.
Rife with bad writing and a plot that doesn't even start for 100 pages, these are truly the ramblings of a blonde girl. At least someone at Random House edited it. I bet the original had 20 "likes" every page. Like, Jane was like, a reality star, right? And like, wow. So like... chyeah, Inorite?
Did your heart melt a little? Mine's practically a puddle!
It goes to show that just because you can play the same angsty young James Dean character in any movie Hollywood throws at you without breaking a sweat, doesn't mean you're qualified to write fiction. But it does mean if you write something, a dying publishing house will snarf it up without thinking twice. In fact, despite the declaration of this short story collection as being the literary equivalent to dogshit, Mr. Franco has an actual novel being released soon. Just stew on that for a moment.
So what's the point of all of this, you may ask? To rag on celebrities for getting million dollar contracts? No, actually, the point is that truly anyone can write a book. We know a lot of friends and acquaintances and readers alike that all want to write a novel, but for some reason just haven't done it yet. So as the new year begins, ask yourself, why haven't you started it? Or if you've started it but stalled out, why haven't you finished it? Seriously, if James Franco can write a book while stoned off his mind filming his fifth movie of the year, and Tyra Banks can write a 500 page fantasy novel between bullying a bunch of twiggy bimbos on a catwalk, then you can too. But herein lies the difference: you have the potential to write something better than this crap. The only way we're going to stop clogging the toilet with more literary logs is if we write something actually worth reading.
Fellow writers, what are you waiting for? Get to it. I know we are.
Cheers and stay classy, friends,
Brandon and Bryan

All eyes are on James Cameron with the imminent release of the most expensive movie of all time. "Avatar" may very well be the 55-year-old director's masterwork in an already astounding film career. Yet most people know very little about him.
If Cameron, the man, is known for anything besides his reservedness, it's his penchant for being very critical — explicitly when necessary — and doing so in a painfully truthful way.
Providing some insight into the man behind the high-tech, 3-D camera gizmo, Rebecca Keegan's "The Futurist: The Life and Films of James Cameron" is an honest, fascinating glimpse into the mind and history of Cameron.
Hero Complex's Mark Milian got on the phone today with Keegan, a Los Angeles resident and a Time magazine contributor, to discuss her first book, as she was getting ready to attend a screening of "Avatar" in Hollywood.
MM: Cameron has a reputation for being pretty reserved. How did you get him to talk to you?
RK: He's been sort of in this quiet phase of his life since "Titanic." Not so much by design but just from factors in his life … working in these documentaries and on the technology for "Avatar." … He wasn't trying to go all J. D. Salinger [reclusive author of "The Catcher in the Rye"], but he did a little bit.
I was on the set in early 2008. I was so amazed by how the set looked. After the first time that I visited, I just kept calling his offices every two weeks trying to talk him into doing the book. … I have no idea why he eventually said yes, but it may have been that he just wanted me to go away after a year of me calling.
MM: What about the man or his movies drew you to this project?
RK: I had heard a lot about Cameron's sets. Certainly "Titanic" had been this amazing, huge scale model of opulence that he built down in Mexico. So I was kind of surprised to walk onto the "Avatar" set [in Playa del Rey] to see it was just a dude — the dude being Cameron — holding a camera and a bunch of guys on computers. … A bunch of geeks hunched over their keyboards. It was just a bizarre way of making a movie. But when I looked through his lens, it was the world of Pandora. I was also interested in this guy who only wanted to do things that were hard. Clearly, after "Titanic," he could have come back and made any movie he wanted to.
MM: In the book, you described an interesting dynamic in the meeting of Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger when deciding to cast him in "Terminator."
RK: When Cameron first met Schwarzenegger, he had no interest in casting him in his movie. At the time, Schwarzenegger was better known as a body builder than an actor. His career looked like it was going to go the standard route of body builders — do some movies wearing a toga and then fall off the face of the earth. Schwarzenegger had all these ideas about how the Terminator should be played. … Both of them are alpha males. … I think they really found kindred spirits in each other.
MM: What do you think is the greatest discovery you made in the life of Cameron?
RK: The fact that he has this sort of equally developed two sides to his personality — the scientist and the artist. … [At Fullerton College] he was majoring in physics and at the point when he had to decide between the scientist and the artist. And he chose the artist. Usually people are a left brain or a right brain. … He's as good a painter as he is a designer of cameras. … He worked with NASA. He could hold his own in a room full of scientists. This is a guy with a couple of junior college physics classics. … For him, science and art are equally necessary parts of what he does. In a town, Hollywood, where people get by being really good B.S.ers, he's actually incapable of it — to a point of detriment, at times. … He really tells you what he thinks to your face.
MM: There's something off-putting about his profile on the cover, as there is something equally creepy about many of his movies. Did the experience weird you out at all?
RK: I think he's an intense guy. There's no question about it. If you talk to the people who work with him, they'll talk about the multiple sides of Cameron. … He focuses like a laser beam. And everybody knows what happens with lasers. Somebody gets burned.
MM: You talk about how Cameron has a sort of catchphrase on the set — "I knew that would happen" — whether something bad or good happens. Can he see the future?
RK: Sort of the point of the "Terminator" movies is that we can change fate. Sarah Connor has the opportunity to go back in time and kill the scientist. … She has the opportunity to impact the future and fate. … I think Cameron sees life in that way. In the case of "Avatar," it's sort of an environmental parable. He often does know what's going to happen. I think he's kind of freakishly smart. Also in that same part of the book, I talk about how Peter Jackson warned me: "This guy is really smart. You might get lost." I get lost all the time.
MM: In Twitter fashion, how would you describe James Cameron in 140 characters or less?
RK: Intense, smart, forward-thinking and just the right amount of crazy. [Tweet this!]
[Updated, Dec. 12, 12:30 a.m.: An earlier version of the post said Cameron had attended the University of Toronto. He was actually a student at Fullerton College.]

This is surgery to repair a damaged or torn tendon.
A tendon attaches muscle to bone. If a tendon tears, the muscle will no longer be able to work properly. This will cause weakness or loss of function. Reattaching the tendon can fix the weakness and improve function.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems like:
If your age is 60 years or older, it may increase the risk of complications. Other factors include:
Your doctor will perform a physical exam. You may also need some tests. These may include:
Leading up to the procedure:
Depending on where the tendon is located, you may be given:
A cut will be made in the skin over the injured tendon. The torn ends of the tendon will be sewn together or reattached to the bone. If you have a severe injury, a tendon graft may be needed. In this case, a piece of healthy tendon will be taken from another part of the body. This healthy tendon will be used to reconnect the broken tendon. The area will be examined for injuries to nerves and blood vessels. Lastly, the incision will be closed with stitches.
You may be put in a splint or cast. This is to keep the injured area in position for proper healing. The splint or cast will usually stay on for a period of weeks.
This depends on where the tendon is located and the severity of the injury.
Anesthesia will keep you pain-free and comfortable during the procedure. To reduce pain after the procedure, your doctor may recommend pain medication.
After the procedure, you will be in a recovery room. The staff will monitor your progress. You may also get pain medication.
You will start physical therapy soon after surgery.
When you return home, take these steps:
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Nell Cady-Kruse '84, MBA '85
November 2012
Fostering the frontier spirit at Johnson
"When you go into the newer markets — Mongolia, for instance — it's really the Wild West right now," she says. "There's a lot of danger, but it's so interesting."
Cady-Kruse, who spent five years working for Credit Suisse in Hong Kong before moving on to Singapore as the chief risk officer for Wholesale Banking for Standard Chartered Bank, the risk-opportunity dichotomy is much more colorful than it is for most of us. The organization, she adds, is well known and highly regarded as an emerging markets bank that does business in Asia, Africa and the Middle East "Risk management is exciting in places where there are really risky issues to deal with," she says. As risk officer, she provides a reality check: "People get excited about the tremendous growth in China, India or Latin America. I can be, on the one hand, really enthusiastic; but, on the other hand, I'm the person who is there to protect the downside."
Cady-Kruse is passionate about the emerging markets; that's why she recently gave a gift to support the Nell Cady-Kruse Emerging Markets Institute (EMI) endowment fund and to EMI for current use. In addition, she continues her Annual Fund support. She actively participates in EMI events and also serves as chair of the global committee on Johnson's Advisory Council.
"I've been heavily backing EMI because it's a fantastic way to set Cornell apart, and integrate global-business concepts and thinking into the daily lives of faculty and students," says Cady-Kruse. "It's also tremendously helpful for bringing in very talented candidates."
"Nell has been an active supporter of the institute from its very inception," says Richard Coyle, EMI executive director. "As an alumna based in an emerging market, she recognized the importance of enhancing this knowledge base within Johnson. Now that we are operational, her support has continued with a generous financial contribution that will enable us to grow our programs and facilitate research."
When Cady-Kruse graduated in the mid-eighties, the emerging markets weren't seriously considered in business terms. "China, India, and Vietnam were not talked about much; Latin America had various problems; and Africa was mostly a place to protest because of apartheid issues in South Africa," says Cady-Kruse. "People thought of global business as mainly about multinationals who might sell things abroad."
She didn't envision herself going into the emerging markets. An Ithacan who finished her BS in agricultural economics with honors in 1984, Cady-Kruse quickly completed her MBA and began working in leveraged buyouts for Bankers Trust Company in New York City. She demonstrated her solid skills and expertise in LBOs and dropped hints that she was interested in going abroad; her employer promptly deployed her in Europe. "People realized that I could move to different places; I was enthusiastic about new cultures, people, and places; and change didn't frighten me!"
Then, Cady-Kruse's boss asked her to go to Asia. "Nobody at the time knew how much it would grow, but it was important, and I was a trusted pair of hands," says Cady-Kruse. "My husband and I loved it." She recently has taken a sabbatical and moved back to Chicago for family reasons, but sees herself at some point moving back to Asia or even South America.
A dedicated Cornellian (her father is Professor Emeritus K. Bingham Cady of Cornell's Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), Cady-Kruse wanted to share her love of emerging markets, and to give back to the school. "I learned the basic tools and the thinking process that helped me in my career, and I had brilliant professors, many of whom are still around: Joe Thomas, Maureen O'Hara, Bob Swieringa, Hal Bierman, and many others," says Cady-Kruse. "I learned all about LBOs from Jerry Hass, and I was strong in LBOs because I had the tools from Johnson. And, once you prove yourself, it's amazing what people will hand you in terms of responsibility and challenge."

They were pretty average looking back in their school day. No doubt that most of them have plastic surgery. In most case, their old images and new images are like a two different persons.

I don't think they look DRASTICALLY different. No repeat of Angleababy-ish ness here--> baby girl is a completely different ethnicity!!! I'm not a celebrity, and I look like a completely different person than when I was in middle school to high school to now in my mid 20s. Aging does that to people.
I like me.
For the Takeshi Kaneshiro picture, I don't think that one is his schooldays pic. He looks too old to be in school in that pic and it's too polished. Looks like something taken for a magazine, him holding a dog and smilingly like that and the photo quality. Those sports jacket shirt were quite popular during his pop star days.
Ariel looks more mature in school days than now. Rainie didn't change much.

That's also a very different pic of Jolin from a different angle, thinner and more gaunt. I've seen other pics of her on albums which look more like the "before" pic, with more rounded cheeks.
Am I the only one that thinks Jolin Tsai and Rainie Yang look like the same person in their after pics? Did they go to the same plastic surgeon?
This is a video on makeup, not counting in weight loss factor as Ian mentioned.

Here are some pics, old and new of Jolin Tsai. Although the article itself is about whether or not she's had breast implants, from the older pics, it's easier to see a nose that's like the nose in her schools days pic above: pudgy instead of slim and sleek:
Last edited by Dirt; 10-29-10 at 07:03 PM.
Yep, I think Jolin has a had a nose job and a boob job.
I know this is kinda unrelated, but I've been watching a number of classic TVB series and movies from the 1980s and thought the artistes then had this unique aura and beauty about them.
It's amazing how well Andy Lau, Chow Yuen Fatt, Maggie Cheung and Kathy Chow have aged.
Rosamund Kwan, 3rd pic and Maggie Cheung, 12th pic, look so cute. Especially, RK
The 1st pic, the 3 boys look so cute and innocent too.
What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
well thanks for sharing you have shared about these acters

Hey all I have this company that has a web service that I can link up to. Problem is that the soap xml structure has a root and then has a node.
The XML looks like this:
The VB.net code I have for this is:Code:<Requests> <ID>8799</ID> <Password>xxxxxxxx</Password> <Date>05/4/2011</Date> <Request> <Request> <Name>Bob</Name> <Age>44</Age> <Height>5 5'</Height> </Request> </Request> </Requests>
I'm not sure how I can get both the ROOT and the NODE to send. Currently above the code is just sending whats in Request and not also RequestNode.Code:Dim Service As New wsService.theService Dim Request As New wsService.Requests Dim RequestNode As New wsService.Request Dim RequestResponse As New wsService.Responses Dim RequestResponseNode As New wsService.Response Request.ID= "8799" Request.Password= "xxxxxxxx" Request.Date= "05/4/2011" RequestNode.Request= "Bob" RequestNode.Age= "44" RequestNode.Height= "5 5'" RequestResponse = wsService.GetData(Request)
Any help to figure out how to use this Node for the WS call would be great!

he probably thought that accounts cant be cancelled , like facebook..............
The plain truth is often less 'newsworthy', and requires sensationalization to garner attention.
Shhh, don't spoil the perceived irony!
A wise man once said this [readwriteweb.com].
Facebook's Zuckerberg Says The Age of Privacy is Over
TFA doesn't say anywhere except the headline that Zuckerberg quit it because of privacy concerns
MZ is right. In FB, I configured it right from the start into "sociopath/paranoid mode", and slowly opened myself to the web from there. In G+, everything is open from day 0. Yuck!
Not that its an excuse, but 'everything is open from day 0' is how Facebook was until maybe a year ago. So its still ironic
I know a handful of 'oh hell no I'm not doing facebook' people (I'm one of them). They want meticulous control over how they communicate and with whom they communicate, and that flies in the face of the whole point of facebook. I understand this. I understand you can be meticulous and all that with facebook in theory, but then I see no benefit to using Facebook at all over other forms of communication, so why bother.
What I don't get is why about half of the people I know who have consistently said this about facebook have started pestering me to join Google+. How the hell does Google get people to make an about face like that?
As someone who has avoided Facebook and is trying out Google+, part of it is trust.
I don't trust Facebook to honor what I tell them in my controls; I think they will neither provide adequate technical protections, or believe they will act in good faith whenever they can make a buck. I also don't like their lock-in.
I think Google will do a better job on these fronts. The non-lock-in approach is an excellent show of good faith. I've used other Google products, and with the exception of some honest mistakes wi
How the hell does Google get people to make an about face like that?
Using Facebook makes you feel like a cheap hooker that just took part in a tranny bukake scene for $15.
Using Google+ makes you feel like a wined and dined princess that finished off the perfect date night with the perfect guy by giving the perfect BJ.
Sure, in both cases you will have a bit of spunk on your lips, but one situation makes you feel a lot better than the other.
Google+ =
meticulous control over how they communicate and with whom
And I assumed it was a fake profile.. This is incredibly funny that it really was him.
Ironic, as I'm leaving Facebook for privacy concerns and moving to Google+. With Facebook, I never quite know what is going to be publicly revealed and displayed—intentionally or not. Google+ is taking aims to ensure it is easy to control who sees what when I post something. With Facebook, it's always been a crapshoot as to what may be considered private one week and public the next.
Before anyone really gets up in a tizzy about privacy, the point behind these two services is to broadcast to a given collection of people—the world, friends, or family—the activities in which you are participating. With G+, I can fine tune who sees what.
I will say that the Google+ interface isn't quite as matured as Facebook's. But they've done a good job for right out of the gate! I also believe that once G+ gets more people, we will better be able to judge how well it works.
Nondeterminism means never having to say you are wrong.

Check this topic. So why should we trust there sensor numbers http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1106506/
anyone cares to explain?
Most of the other tests have been closer to the techradar test than the DXO test. DxO is way off of every other test and analysis I have seen. Everyone seems to say that the D800 impressed everyone in low light (most thought it would fall apart at ISO 1600+ and it holds up much better than that) but still fell short of the Mark III. DR on the D800 is 1/2-1 stop better up to ISO 800, and most have said the Mark III handles colors better. Very radically different from the DxO conclusion. DR on the Dxo test for the D800 is really really high. No one has observed that so I wonder how they pulled that number. The way that DxO tests the low light ISO is also related to DR so i'm assuming that whatever made them conclude a 14 stop DR for the D800 is what kept the D800 ahead in low light ISO. Something is up with their DR test. The Phase One is way below the Nikon D7000 and the same as the Nikon D5100. Seriously? As an engineer myself, we are taught to make sure that are tests line up with reality, otherwise we redo our testing procedures. Since their ISO tests are based on DR, both of these tests are flawed in some way.
Quote from: Astro on April 20, 2012, 07:30:05 AManyone cares to explain?Perhaps they are looking at full-size, pixel by pixel? DxO downsize first before comparing.
It just doesn't make sense for there lens tests. In real world these tests don't match. Period.
You shouldn't trust numbers, trust your eyes.http://diglloyd.com/blog/2012/20120419_2-Canon5DM3-dxomark.html
In the real world, selection bias and brand loyalty tend to be the dominant factors. The whole point of repeatable tests is to determine, using set criteria, how things actually preform. When just out and shooting people build a lot of bias into what they think of performance, often with 'this is newer/more expensive, so it must be better otherwise I would be a real fool to have paid so much more for it!' thrown in.

The vast majority of what you see is extrapolated, the actual resolution of a human eye is very low, but we have a lot of grey matter behind them that tries to combine the little information it is getting with a bank of world knowledge and internal models to product its best guess about what it is seeing. Human vision is very easy to trick and what you expect to see plays a dominant role in what you actually perceive.

Martinez: England missed star Moses
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez believes Victor Moses should have been given an England call-up to avoid losing him to the Nigerian national team.
Moses, who scored the winner for his new club Chelsea in their Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk midweek, made his debut for Nigeria earlier this year. The winger played for England youth teams over 30 times and his former club boss insists the Three Lions have missed out on a rare talent.
"It is difficult to find players like him, not just in England, and I'm sure he could adapt to anything," Martinez is quotes as saying in The Sun newspaper.
"Even if you look at the great footballing cultures like Spain and Holland you see players of his type are very rare. Victor could have been a real weapon for any team in the world.
"Victor is a quite unique player. When you work with him you realise he is not a normal footballer, not a typical modern winger.
"He is an old-fashioned type of winger with incredible raw talent which allows him to go past people. He brings real penetration to the wide positions.
"Teams are so well set up tactically these days that you need players who can bring something different and they don't appear that often."
Moses joined Chelsea from Wigan last summer in a £9 million move, but was overlooked by former England boss Fabio Capello despite Martinez's pleas.

It is rare that industries come to Washington begging for more regulation. But that is how we in the unmanned systems business find ourselves with respect to small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS). A notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) has been on the shelf for years. We need to move forward before a serious accident occurs.
The issue of how to safely integrate the myriad sizes and classes of UAS into the national airspace is complex. But it is clear that in at least one category, small UAS (under 55 lb.), we have a good idea how to start. The FAA convened a SUAS Aviation Rulemaking Committee, which had broad participation from many communities and completed its work in 2009. Many of us expected an expedited release of draft regulations. We are still waiting.
These regulations would impact three distinct communities. First are hobbyists, whose interests are represented by the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Since 1936, the AMA has set voluntary safety standards for models under which hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts have flown millions of flight hours with an admirable safety record. The AMA takes the not unreasonable position that voluntary standards have worked so far, so modelers should be exempted from FAA regulations. They convinced Congress to include language to this effect in the FAA's 2012 reauthorization bill.
The second category is the "do-it-yourself drone" community, which comes more from computer and robotics enthusiasts than traditional aeromodelers. Chris Anderson, a former editor at Wired, estimates there are thousands of do-it-yourself drones in operation. Unlike traditional models, which are either free-flight or controlled by radio within the pilot's line of sight, these computer-driven aircraft literally have minds of their own. The third category comprises aerospace and defense companies, which includes everything from the industrial giants to garage startups.
Models fly under the FAA's Advisory Circular 91-57, issued in 1981. Everyone else needs either a special airworthiness certificate (experimental ticket), or a certificate of authorization (available only to public entities), or must fly in restricted airspace. The effect of this is that commercial UAS users—and by commercial, we basically mean anyone in the private sector who is being paid to do this—are prohibited from operating UAS in the National Airspace. This covers everything from aerial photography and surveying to news reporting to communications relay to cargo delivery. The effect is that professional aerospace companies—which arguably have the most to lose from lax standards, and who are mostly likely to have established safety procedures, to follow the rules and to carry good insurance—are being punished, while amateurs operating on the fringes are allowed to operate more or less with impunity. The public, of course, cannot tell the difference.
This is a recipe for disaster. The current situation effectively encourages people to fly in quasi-legal activities, without uniform standards and with little or no enforcement. This is not the way aviation has achieved its enviable safety record.
Furthermore, the absence of FAA rulemaking encourages others to fill the vacuum and preempt the FAA. Dozens of states are either considering or have already promulgated rules impacting SUAS—a morass that the FAA will have to untangle when it finally steps up to its leadership role.
Many of us in the business find ourselves in the paradoxical situation: An airplane we operate in our day jobs is essentially illegal, but is perfectly fine if we head off to the local schoolyard as modelers and fly for fun. Activities should be judged on objective standards of safety, not on whether someone is being paid to do it.
The issue of privacy has muddled the drive for UAS safety regulation. My own belief is that many of the things that most concern privacy advocates, such as flying low enough to look in someone's window, may also be unsafe, and that effective safety regulations will go a long way toward addressing the privacy concerns. But the FAA must not allow such misgivings to stand in the way of implementing its primary charter. Its mandate is safety.
The history of aviation safety regulations is, sadly, one where rules are promulgated largely in response to accidents. We cannot, should not and must not follow this path on SUAS. Rules will evolve based on experience and practice, but we must start somewhere. The FAA should release the SUAS NPRM immediately so we can all get started.

LSU beat an undermanned North Texas team 41-14 in Tiger Stadium, but the game at times was very sloppy. The Tigers committed ten penalties and one turnover in the Red Zone. This week Les Miles wants the team to focus on improving in all phases.
Saturday night LSU will need Sam Montgomery to step up when the Tigers face a very good passing attack. Montgomery did not start and was uncharacteristically quiet against North Texas, but with the injury to starting right tackle Ben Riva, Huskies beware, Sam is ready for a break out game.
This past weekend against San Diego State, quarterback Keith Price threw for 222 yards and one touchdown, completing 22 out his 25 passes.
Coach Miles on Tuesday talked about the Husky offense. "I like their quarterback. Keith Price is a very good passer. He threw for 33 touchdowns a year ago." As for his performance against San Diego State, Miles went on to say, " In that game nine players caught balls. Their tight end had nine receptions, and was their leading receiver."
Washington will rely more on Price more after losing starting running back Jesse Callier to a season ending knee injury. His replacement, Bishop Sankey had 22 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown against San Diego State.
Washington's defense held the Aztecs to 327 total yards, giving up 199 rushing and 128 passing yards, adding four sacks and three turnovers.
Miles likes the way Washington's defense looks, saying, "Their defense is playing extremely wall. Their secondary is a talented group, and they can all cover. They have a lot of speed on the field. On special teams they have a true freshman punter and snapper that both played well in their opener. Washington is much improved and a very strong opponent. We will have to play well. This is a great week for us to improve. Washington is very capable."
"Certainly they move the ball around. They have a variety of rushing attacks. They can hand the ball in the I(formation). They can hand the ball in one-back. They have play actions from all of those. I think they have a great scheme. I think they understand it and they are playing very well."
With that said, LSU's powerful rushing attack will be a huge challenge for the Huskies, after giving up 199 yards to San Diego State.
Other LSU Notes:
Miles was very happy with Zach Mettenberger's debut as a starter in Tiger Stadium. The head coach thought he did a really good job at"running the game plan and managing the situations on the field."
Spencer Ware is "getting over the final pieces of an injury" and Miles hopes to get both Ware and Jeremy Hill playing time soon.
Miles on injuries to Alex Hurst and Craig Loston: "I think they probably played as weak as they will ever play. I think that they will get better. I think that they will be on the field in this game, and other which we need to play well and win. I really have less concern about their injury, and just need them to settle down and play."
On LB Deion Jones: "Deion is a very bright guy. He is really working to play well. He is very talented physically, but it takes a guy who wants to learn and wants to be an ambitious learner for him to play well. He is doing that. Like other first-time starters there are voids in his play that we have to address as coaches, and get him to play best. But his start is certainly very strong."

The lights are on
Even more than two years after its release, BioShock is still worth talking about. What's you favorite moment? How many Big Daddies did you take down without dying? What are you looking forward to the most about BioShock 2? Begin speculating here.
I see no one has posted anything about this in the aquarium. How excited are you guys? Thoughts? Questions? Plasmid prospects? Fire away!
The bird plasmid in the preview sounds really cool. The should also let the player use the teleportation plasmid.
P.S.- I travelled to the past to make sure that the syringe was sterile... so you don't need to worry... I mean.... I don't need to worry. Yeah...
It's gonna be crunk.
check out my blog!
Rainheart, I'll never forget you.
I think its going to be awesome. I loved Bioshock 2 but I always felt it was missing something. Im so glad the old team is making this one. I just hope that they put as much thought and love into this one as they did the first. Although with a 2012 release, Im sure they will. I hope that Columbia feels as new and awesome as Rapture did the first time I set foot in it. Im stoked to see how all the new weapons, plasmids and gagets will play out. When I first saw that Irrational games was making ANOTHER Bioshock...I was.....shocked. I figured that they had let that ship sail and had had other plans. But if they think that the franchise can go in this Infinate direction then I will be the first in line to buy. I cant wait to explore this new and exciting world.
It doesn't look like the bioshock that we all know and have become addicted.
I think it may look better. I trust Irrational Games and I think all of those guys are artists. I'm glad they aren't staying generic with an idea they've already come up with. You should embrace change, because when you do, you get some amazing results.
I think it'll be a great change for the series. The girl that accompanies you during the story can control the environment, something that wouldn't make much sense in Rapture. In Columbia, there's a lot more room for large-scale action. I like that. I think making another game set in Rapture would be a little repetitive. The 2nd game only had one brand new plasmid (two if you count the one in Minerva's Den). It mainly just combined and improved the ones in the original. The new weapons were cool but not much different. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 2nd game, but I think it's time for something (and somewhere) new.
the recent screen shots make it look like the environments will be more open. I love the first 2 games where awesome but I always felt as if i were running down a hallway. It was all a bit closed in. I think this will have a more "open world" feel to it. ...ummm in its own way.
I'm loving the third. Irrational always pushes the limits, and 2K Marin was too afraid to take chances.
"Iba se ori egun Ìlà arun, Ìwò arun, ariwa arun, gusuu arun, egun orun, egun ayie, ase."

The new screen shots and the GI cover got me really excited. I can't wait to read the cover story.
I think it's all up in the air at this point!
Wow, that was bad...
Oh snap! Nice pun you clever fella. You actually made me laugh =P
I honestly don't know what to think. The Big Daddies are completely revamped, the Little Sisters and Big Sisters don't look like they're in the game, and there's no Rapture. RAPTURE. That's what made Bioshock, Bioshock 2, and Minerva's Den what they were. I'm hoping that it's good, when when you're a fanboy like me it's gonna be hard getting used to the city of Columbia.
yeah, I'm pumped. The first bioshock is without-a-doubt the best FPS ever made. Bioshock infinite may not look like the bioshock we know and love, but this looks fantastic. can't wait to explore the great city of columbia.
I doubt that. Levine was behind the first, but not the second. He's behind the third now, so I'm sure whatever he does with this game is going to amaze fans.

BISD board approves residency requirement
The Borger ISD board of trustees has approved a policy that would require certain employees to live within the city limits.The action was taken during the board's regular Thursday evening, held at the BISD Administration Building.Under the terms of the new policy, a district employee shall live within the boundaries of the district for the duration of employment for the following positions:*Superintendent*Assistant Superintendent*Executive Director of Personnel*Business Manager*Director of Federal Programs and Instruction*Director of Technology*Athletic Director*Principal*Assistant Principal*High School Head Coaches*High School Band Director*High School Choir Director*Transportation Director*Maintenance DirectorThe exception to this policy is that if one of these employees lives outside the boundaries of the district prior to the policy's passage, they may continue to live outside the district boundaries so long as he or she is employed in the same position held at that time.If a person who falls under this exemption is employed in a different position listed under the policy, the residency requirement will then apply to them. Any district employee who moves to a position for which there is a residency requirement shall be provided a grace period of one year within which to move within the boundaries of the district.The board held discussion on the policy at its May meeting, but decided not to take action at that time in order to do further review and to see if changes could be made to it.Superintendent Chance Welch said he spoke with a policy consultant about possibly changing the wording to include allowing people in these positions to live in neighboring districts. However, he said the consultant told him that by doing so, the policy would lose some of its effectiveness."The logic behind putting this in place, we want these employees to make a commitment to the district or if there's an emergency situation or bad weather, you want them close enough where they can make it in to work," he said. "If you start changing it up, you lose that emphasis."Board member Les Sharp asked Welch if the consultant made him aware of any other school districts that have a similar policy. Welch said the Dumas Independent School District has such a policy, and the idea to implement such a policy came from Dumas. Fellow board member Elaine Feese asked Welch if he was comfortable with the policy. He said he sees pros and cons with it. He said he wants employees to be committed to the district. However, he said he knows the coaching positions present more of a problem, since there may be times a spouse of one of the coaches may not be able to find a job in Borger, and the coach doesn't want him or her driving back and forth.Sharp asked if there have been some different expectations indicated in the hiring process. Welch said the district tries to encourage its employees to be a part of the community as much as possible, but without a policy in place, it can't give a specific directive for people to do so.Feese said she was aware that some of the assistant principals live outside Borger, so they would under the exception, along with a couple of coaches. Board president Johnny Rusten asked Athletic Director Rusty Purser if any head coaches need to be hired this year that might be affected by such a policy. Purser said as of right now there are not any that need to be hired.Welch said he would like to see coaches be a part of the community, but he understands the issue when it comes to their spouses.Rusten said when it comes to hiring coaches, he knows Purser might be afraid of losing a good coach if the policy were passed. However, he said he believes Borger wants these particular employees to be active participants in this community."Those on this list who don't live in town, they don't participate in our community," he said. "They get in their cars and trucks and go home."Welch said he agreed with Rusten, that this policy needs to be driven by what the community as a whole wants, and if the board feels like this policy is what it wants, it should be passed. Board vice-president Robert Bradley asked Welch if simply giving employees a directive to live and be a part of the Borger community would be enough to bring them here. Welch said he felt having a policy in place would be more effective.Sharp said he is proud of his town, and wants employees to be here. He said he wanted to know more how such policies have affected local districts, and wanted to know if this was a pressing issue.Welch said it wasn't pressing, but it did need to be taken care of soon.Dr. Kent Gray said he couldn't see how it would be a problem to have such a policy in place, as people not living in the district has been more of a problem than the other way around."I would be inclined to think this is something we need to have in place," he said.Rusten also said he feels the policy simply makes more sense from an economic standpoint, as the employees will be spending their dollars, paying taxes, and living in the Borger community versus living somewhere else. "From a community standpoint, it does make sense," he said.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Despite a request from Gov. Steve Beshear to put off redistricting until later this year, state House Speaker Greg Stumbo is moving forward with getting proposals on the divisive issue.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Stumbo sent a letter to House members asking them to submit proposed boundaries for new legislative districts by Feb. 1.
Stumbo said after the proposals come in, lawmakers would decide whether to try to tackle redistricting during the 2013 General Assembly, which resumes on Feb. 5 and is set to end March 26.
Beshear said delaying the redistricting issue would allow lawmakers to devote more time to reforming the state's pension program for government retirees and for reforming the state's tax code. He raised the specter of a special legislative session to deal with redistricting.

Let's face it. Some Bears games are tough to hype.
A mid-season contest against the Carolina Panthers? Yawn.
A trip to Detroit to see third-string quarterback Drew Stanton? Shrug.
An NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers?
Are you kidding?
The Bears and Packers boast one of the richest rivalries in any sport. Everyone from George Halas to Vince Lombardi to Walter Payton to Brett Favre has made their mark, but none of those men experienced what will take place Sunday at Soldier Field.
The winner will go on to Super Bowl XLV. The loser will go home.
And everyone in attendance might have a story to tell their children
and grandchildren.
"It's just intense," Bears defensive end Israel Idonije said. "It's the NFL's longest rivalry. The history is ridiculous when you look back at some of the epic battles and the violence in the games between these two teams.
"It's a game that you don't need any help waking up for. It's intense, and this Sunday is going to be one of those games."
The Bears and Packers have created plenty of highlights in 181 meetings spanning 90 years. Here are five of the best from the Bears' perspective.
Who knows? By Sunday evening, there might be a new No. 1.
5. Oct. 30, 1977
Walter Payton steamrolled the Packers for 205 rushing yards in a 26-0 win at Soldier Field. Payton's mammoth single-game effort tied Gale Sayers for the franchise record, but that didn't last for long. Payton rushed for 275 yards three weeks later against the Minnesota Vikings for a franchise record that still stands.
4. Dec. 7, 1980
The Bears crushed the Packers, 61-7, to match a team record for points and set records for first downs (33) and completion percentage (83.3 percent). Bears quarterback Vince Evans passed for 316 yards, which isn't outrageous by today's standards but at the time counted for the most passing yards by a Bears player in the previous 10 years.
3. Dec. 14, 1941
In 181 meetings, this marked the only playoff battle between the NFL's oldest rivals until Sunday. The Bears won, 33-14, behind an old-school approach that was pretty young-school at the time. Bears quarterback Sid Luckman completed four of nine pass attempts, but the team rushed 48 times for 277 yards and three touchdowns.
2. Oct. 21, 1985
In a victory for big men everywhere (well, except for those in Green Bay), Bears defensive tackle William "Refrigerator" Perry became the largest player in NFL history to score a touchdown off of a designed play. Perry, who was listed at 325 pounds, rumbled into the end zone en route to a 23-7 win on a Monday night at Soldier Field. He plowed over Packers linebacker George Cumby on two other goal-line plays to set up rushing touchdowns for Payton.
1. Nov. 7, 1999
Memories of the "Walter Payton Game" still elicit goose bumps for longtime Bears employees at Halas Hall. It was the Bears' first game after Payton's death at age 45, and the Packers lined up for a 28-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to win the game. But Bears defensive end Bryan Robinson leaped to block the kick as time expired to secure a 14-13 win, which marked the Bears' first victory against the Packers in almost six years.

I recall a lot of Bengals fans pining for Richardson to be a draft pick. Guess that was our good fortune.
The Browns also are also switching QBs already. I think PB is haunting them.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
The part I don't get is this. Lets assume that Richardson improves slightly on his rookie season this year in Cleveland. His trade value may have suffered a little, maybe they could get a high 2 for him. Sure they may have not gotten as much value but they wouldn't have pissed their fan base off. They wouldn't have traded their most marketable player and thrown in the towel for an entire season. The Browns haven't been good for a decade but they are telling their season ticket holders at $75 a game that this season isn't going to matter. And since they are pretty much throwing in the towel on the 2012 draft class the next couple of seasons don't count. If Richardson goes on to be a bust then the Cleveland FO will look like geniuses. Anything other than nailing their draft next season and they will look like idiots.
Sea Ray (09-19-2013)
The more I think about it, the more I get it. Use this first round pick along with your other one to bolster the needs of the team, and then find a hidden gem running back later like a lot of teams are doing. They need to make sure they can find the next Alfred Morris or Arian Foster though, or a DeMarco Murray/Steven Ridley, and not just the next Jordan Todman or Chris Rainey.
I dont care, Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. Hes in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.
I like the trade for the Browns for a few reasons.
RBs are very replaceable in today's NFL. Unless you have a Shady McCroy or a Peterson or someone like that, good solid RBs aren't hard to find. With the way the league has changed I don't think you should ever become too attached to a RB or pay one a ton of money, unless you have one of the few special backs.
They need to upgrade a lot of talent, no better way to do that than with a bunch draft picks. Look no farther than the Bengals to see how much of an immediate impact good draft picks can have. They have two 1s, a 2 and two 3s next year. I don't think they should trade up (if they would have to), but they have the picks to do so now. There's also a lot of talented RBs that should be coming out. Yeldon and Gurley I think?
They weren't going to win the SB or even make the playoffs with this team. I know people say it's unfair to the season ticket holders, but I think the job of that front office is to try to get a better product on the field as soon as possible. This trade helped that.
For the Colts I don't like the move that much. Unless Richardson ends up having a very nice career there I don't think he was worth a 1st. In their pass happy offense they could have found a quality back on a practice squad somewhere. Now they're a young team trending in the right direction that's going to have to sit out the first round of a draft.
How much money does anyone want to bet the Browns draft Yeldon from Alabama?
Yards per carry as rookies:
Emmitt Smith: 3.9
Walter Payton: 3.5
LaDanian Tomlinson: 3.6
All became great players once they were paired with an experience QB.
Revering4Blue (09-19-2013)
Also, Trent Richardson should be used like Sproles. Screens, draws, and wheels .
What this trade means for the Browns is that they are going to suck this year and are going all in for either Bridgewater, Johnny Football or Tajh Boyd.
Franchise QBs - gotta have one.
"I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of bubble gum."
- - Rowdy Roddy Piper
"It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong. I am not a big man"
- - Fletch
Not sure how many guys would have succeeded with the Browns as they are primarily a poor throwing team, and although a decent line, one that specializes in pass protection, not run protection.
I read a stat somewhere that TRich had to fight for yards more than anyone else in football in his time in Cleveland (ie. an average back might have been flirting with a YPC more in the 2.5+ range). He's great in pass protection, has great hands, and a good runner. Passes the eye test. I think he's going to explode in Indy, but still not sure it ever makes a ton of sense to trade first rounders for running backs, but he may be the perfect piece in Indy.
Outside of Luck, the Colts have not been overly successful with 1st round draft picks for a while now. I know it's a new regime so it's not fair to blame Grigson for that, but the larger point is that late 1st round picks certainly aren't sure bets. Richardson is definitely a a good bet if his health holds up.
What is concerning however is that their defense and O-Line probably should've been a higher priority. I'm just not sure how that gets fixed. It's clear the Colts have decided to double down on the offense, but it's hard to do that when the O-line is so bad.
George Anderson (09-20-2013),Revering4Blue (09-19-2013)
The NFL keeps changing their rules to make it easier and easier to pass the football -- elite QBs, WRs, and TEs are the currency of the modern "hands off, no hitting" NFL. The days of the road-grinding RBs / 20+ carry backs are over and done with.
The Browns, essentially, got a do-over with an awful pick. Now they can get someone who aids in the passing attack or helps defend the passing attack like they should have in the first place with this pick.

I recently came across a use of 'seized to exist' for 'ceased to exist' in an essay in Mute, found here:
A quick google search turns up 'about 785' more matches. The first 50 or so all use
the term to describe something that is no longer around, preserving the original meaning.
Welcome to the Eggcorn website. A variation of the eggcorn you mention has been catalogued in the Eggcorn Database. You can find it by clicking on "Eggcorn Database" in the red menu above, then clicking on "Browse eggcorns." You can then scroll down to "cease >> seize" for more details.
Ah, I only searched for the whole phrase, not the single word. Thanks for pointing me to the other entry.
I got this jet ski given to me last month and found out that the motor is ceased up. It does NOT have a trailor. If you are interested give me a call
I went to drop it in the water today and it seems like the engine is ceased up or something and doesn't turn over.
Thousands of hits, enough that the chances are good it is standard for some users. It's a pretty good eggcorn in this phrase, in my opinion. Much less so are the ones recorded .

Ceased up makes good sense. Misspelling based on eased and pleased might have primed it. Once your engine ceases, it's as good as deceased.

In the Central African Republic, U.S. Special Forces soldiers are on the hunt for Joseph Kony, the brutal leader of the rebel group the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The LRA has been responsible for abducting tens of thousands of children and turning them into sex slaves or killers. The U.S. military set up its outpost in the country four months ago. Audie Cornish talks to Washington Post reporter Sudarsan Raghavan, who wrote about the U.S. involvement.

The Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University has received a $30,000 Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
The grant will support the museum's upcoming exhibition, "Breath of Heaven, Breath of Earth: Ancient Near Eastern Art from American Collections," showing Aug. 31 through Dec. 22, 2013.
"We are honored to receive this NEA grant," says John Olbrantz, the Maribeth Collins director of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and co-curator of the exhibition.
"It validates and supports this major exhibition, which features outstanding ancient Near Eastern artworks that are not normally available or accessible to audiences in the Western United States."
The exhibition features 64 objects from about 6000 BCE to 500 BCE, introducing visitors to the art, history and cultures of the ancient Near East.
The cultures gave Western civilization such concepts as cities, writing, literature, schools, laws, poetry, philosophy, medicine and the Judeo-Christian tradition.
Drawing from some of the most distinguished collections in the United States, the exhibition is bringing together works from such notable institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago.
This year, the NEA awarded $26.3 million in grants, 11 of which to museums affiliated with colleges and universities. In Oregon, the NEA awarded $420,000 in funding. Other recipients include the Portland Art Museum, the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art and the University of Oregon.

As we reported earlier today, investors pumped more than $4.6 billion in new cash into fixed-income funds in the latest week. And by far, their preference was for quality.
Mutual funds and ETFs linked to investment-grade corporate bonds raked in more than $2.01 billion in cash during the week that ended Jan. 16, according to Lipper. And mutual funds accounted for the lion's share — $1.99 billion – of that sum.
High yield, or "junk" bond funds attracted $571 million.
And while mutual funds tied to U.S. Treasuries attracted $60 million in new cash, investors pulled $181 million out of exchange-traded funds linked to the bonds.
Investors also yanked $9.6 billion out of money market funds.
