This Social Media Giant is on 'Cloud' Nine
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
File storage company, Dropbox, announced yesterday (see here) that it would now offer integration into the social networking site, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB). This integration will give Facebook users the ability to share files in Facebook Groups with Dropbox.
As a leader in the Cloud storage space, Dropbox has seen an onslaught of competition from big names like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Google Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG). These companies all have their respective personal storage software—Google with Google Drive, Apple with iCloud and Microsoft with SkyDrive.
The market could be huge, which explains why it has attracted the attention of these tech giants. Gartner estimates that consumers will store more than a third of their digital content in the cloud by 2016, versus 2011—where only 7 percent of consumer content was stored in the Cloud.
According to Dropbox, the Facebook integration will include the functionality to comment on or 'like' the files and digital content posted, while also having document and file edits/updates pushed to group members automatically. Facebook had previously made plans to launch its own file sharing and storage software, but it now appears the company has abandoned this and entrusted Dropbox with the task.
The company's offering storage services have free and paid plans. The different plans are show below, revealing various differences in what users can subscribe to. However, in reality, 5 GB is more than enough for most individuals, and 2 GB is most often sufficient. Thus, part of the differentiation of these companies lies in the company's partners, integrations and overall usability.
The switching costs are virtually nonexistent and really only takes the time to move the files. However, Facebook could give Dropbox some 'stickiness.' Being one of the first companies to make a push in personal storage, Dropbox still boasts 50 million users. Couple this with Facebook's 950 million users and this could be the start of an interesting relationship.
Of the over 400 minutes that Facebook users spend on the site each month, the Dropbox integration could mean more time spent on the site, where users move away from email to interact directly on Facebook, sharing itineraries, project materials and other content.
The other personal storage companies do have advantages, given they have other user bases from which they can draw users from. For example, Microsoft's can easily integrate its SkyDrive software into its operating systems and Apple can pre-install its iCloud onto its computer devices.
Fortunately for Dropbox, it is solely focused on personal storage and can use its entire team to develop its product. Unlike other companies, that have various revenue streams and primary business models that lie outside of the personal storage market, Dropbox has been centered on making personal storage a reality for everyone. It has done well with this—now having 66% of its total user base using Microsoft's Windows, while 21% use Apple's Mac OS, and the rest use a blend of the two or other systems. Also, as with everything, mobile is becoming increasingly important—Facebook has seen this firsthand with 67% of its users now using Facebook via mobile—Dropbox has developed a mobile app for both Apple's iPhone and Google's Android mobile operating system.
To further put things in perspective—Dropbox is definitively punching above its weight class—it is speculated that the value of Dropbox is somewhere around $4 billion, while the market caps of the other companies are well above this. Apple trades with a market cap of around $630 billion, Google $248 billion and Microsoft $251 billion. Even its new partner, Facebook trades with a market cap around a sixth of Google or Microsoft at $43 billion.
However, in all fairness, none of the other companies started paying close attention to the personal storage market until Dropbox was off and running. Apple attempted to purchase Dropbox in 2009, and when Dropbox declined to sell, Steve Jobs reportedly told them he was going after their market. This has not fared well for Apple yet. Apple's iCloud service launched last year, but is still trying to gather traction.
Also, the social enterprise and CRM company salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) recently announced a digital storage and sharing system, Chatterbox. However, it appears that Chatterbox will be limited to collaboration within a company. Salesforce.com has been an impressive force in the CRM industry, up 50% year to date, and announced a recent partnership with Twitter, as well as having acquired Buddy Media; all this rapid growth puts the company's forward P/E at 75. Box, the other notable personal storage startup, and included in the chart above, has been a nuance to Dropbox. Box has managed to gather 10 million users and has been reported to be valued around $1.2 billion.
Dropbox is banking that Facebook will give it the leg up to continue to pull ahead of Box, as well as keep the likes of Google, Apple and Microsoft at bay. Continue reading at Insider Monkey to check out the hedge fund interest in these stocks, or to analyze insider sentiment.

Binary relation
In mathematics, a binary relation on a set A is a collection of ordered pairs of elements of A. In other words, it is a subset of the Cartesian product A2 = A × A. More generally, a binary relation between two sets A and B is a subset of A × B. The terms dyadic relation and 2-place relation are synonyms for binary relations.
An example is the "divides" relation between the set of prime numbers P and the set of integers Z, in which every prime p is associated with every integer z that is a multiple of p (and not with any integer that is not a multiple of p). In this relation, for instance, the prime 2 is associated with numbers that include −4, 0, 6, 10, but not 1 or 9; and the prime 3 is associated with numbers that include 0, 6, and 9, but not 4 or 13.
Binary relations are used in many branches of mathematics to model concepts like "is greater than", "is equal to", and "divides" in arithmetic, "is congruent to" in geometry, "is adjacent to" in graph theory, "is orthogonal to" in linear algebra and many more. The concept of function is defined as a special kind of binary relation. Binary relations are also heavily used in computer science.
A binary relation is the special case n = 2 of an n-ary relation R ⊆ A1 × … × An, that is, a set of n-tuples where the jth component of each n-tuple is taken from the jth domain Aj of the relation.
In some systems of axiomatic set theory, relations are extended to classes, which are generalizations of sets. This extension is needed for, among other things, modeling the concepts of "is an element of" or "is a subset of" in set theory, without running into logical inconsistencies such as Russell's paradox.
Contents |
Formal definition [edit]
A binary relation R is usually[citation needed] defined as an ordered triple[citation needed] (X, Y, G) where X and Y are arbitrary sets (or classes), and G is a subset of the Cartesian product X × Y. The sets X and Y are called the domain (or the set of departure) and codomain (or the set of destination), respectively, of the relation, and G is called its graph.
The statement (x,y) ∈ R is read "x is R-related to y", and is denoted by xRy or R(x,y). The latter notation corresponds to viewing R as the characteristic function on "X" x "Y" for the set of pairs of G.
The order of the elements in each pair of G is important: if a ≠ b, then aRb and bRa can be true or false, independently of each other.
A relation as defined by the triple (X, Y, G) is sometimes referred to as a correspondence instead.[1] In this case the relation from X to Y is the subset G of X×Y, and "from X to Y" must always be either specified or implied by the context when referring to the relation. In practice correspondence and relation tend to be used interchangeably.
Is a relation more than its graph? [edit]
According to the definition above, two relations with the same graph may be different, if they differ in the sets and . For example, if , then , , and are three distinct relations.
Some mathematicians, especially in set theory, do not consider the sets and to be part of the relation, and define a binary relation as a set of ordered pairs, identifying binary relations with their graphs. The domain of a binary relation is then defined as the set of all such that there exists at least one such that , the range of is defined as the set of all such that there exists at least one such that , and the field of is the union of its domain and its range.[2][3][4]
A special case of this difference in points of view applies to the notion of function. Many authors insist on distinguishing between a function's codomain and its range. Thus, a single "rule," like mapping every real number x to x2, can lead to distinct functions and , depending on whether the images under that rule are understood to be reals or, more restrictively, non-negative reals. But others view functions as simply sets of ordered pairs with unique first components. This difference in perspectives does raise some nontrivial issues. As an example, the former camp considers surjectivity—or being onto—as a property of functions, while the latter sees it as a relationship that functions may bear to sets.
Either approach is adequate for most uses, provided that one attends to the necessary changes in language, notation, and the definitions of concepts like restrictions, composition, inverse relation, and so on. The choice between the two definitions usually matters only in very formal contexts, like category theory.
Example [edit]
Example: Suppose there are four objects {ball, car, doll, gun} and four persons {John, Mary, Ian, Venus}. Suppose that John owns the ball, Mary owns the doll, and Venus owns the car. Nobody owns the gun and Ian owns nothing. Then the binary relation "is owned by" is given as
- R=({ball, car, doll, gun}, {John, Mary, Ian, Venus}, {(ball, John), (doll, Mary), (car, Venus)}).
Thus the first element of R is the set of objects, the second is the set of people, and the last element is a set of ordered pairs of the form (object, owner).
The pair (ball, John), denoted by ballRJohn means that the ball is owned by John.
Two different relations could have the same graph. For example: the relation
- ({ball, car, doll, gun}, {John, Mary, Venus}, {(ball,John), (doll, Mary), (car, Venus)})
is different from the previous one as everyone is an owner. But the graphs of the two relations are the same.
Nevertheless, R is usually identified or even defined as G(R) and "an ordered pair (x, y) ∈ G(R)" is usually denoted as "(x, y) ∈ R".
Special types of binary relations [edit]
Some important types of binary relations R between X and Y are listed below.
Uniqueness properties:
- injective (also called left-unique[5]): for all x and z in X and y in Y it holds that if xRy and zRy then x = z.
- functional (also called right-unique[5] or right-definite[citation needed]): for all x in X, and y and z in Y it holds that if xRy and xRz then y = z; such a binary relation is called a partial function.
- one-to-one (also written 1-to-1): injective and functional.
Totality properties:
- left-total:[5] for all x in X there exists a y in Y such that xRy, i.e., R is a multivalued function (this property, although sometimes also referred to as total, is different from the definition of total in the next section).
- surjective (also called right-total[5]): for all y in Y there exists an x in X such that xRy.
Uniqueness and totality properties:
- A function: a relation that is functional and left-total.
- A bijection: a one-to-one correspondence; such a relation is a function and is said to be bijective.
Relations over a set [edit]
If X = Y then we simply say that the binary relation is over X, or that it is an endorelation over X. Some types of endorelations are widely studied in graph theory, where they're known as directed graphs.
The set of all binary relations Rel(X) on a set X is the set 2X × X which is a Boolean algebra augmented with the involution of mapping of a relation to its inverse relation. For the theoretical explanation see Relation algebra.
Some important types of binary relations over a set X are:
- reflexive: for all x in X it holds that xRx. For example, "greater than or equal to" is a reflexive relation but "greater than" is not.
- irreflexive (or strict): for all x in X it holds that not xRx. "Greater than" is an example of an irreflexive relation.
- coreflexive: for all x and y in X it holds that if xRy then x = y. "Equal to and odd" is an example of a coreflexive relation.
- symmetric: for all x and y in X it holds that if xRy then yRx. "Is a blood relative of" is a symmetric relation, because x is a blood relative of y if and only if y is a blood relative of x.
- antisymmetric: for all distinct x and y in X, if xRy then not yRx.
- asymmetric: for all x and y in X, if xRy then not yRx. (So asymmetry is stronger than anti-symmetry. In fact, asymmetry is equivalent to anti-symmetry plus irreflexivity.)
- transitive: for all x, y and z in X it holds that if xRy and yRz then xRz. (Note that, under the assumption of transitivity, irreflexivity and asymmetry are equivalent.)
- total: for all x and y in X it holds that xRy or yRx (or both). "Is greater than or equal to" is an example of a total relation (this definition for total is different from left total in the previous section).
- trichotomous: for all x and y in X exactly one of xRy, yRx or x = y holds. "Is greater than" is an example of a trichotomous relation.
- Euclidean: for all x, y and z in X it holds that if xRy and xRz, then yRz (and zRy). Equality is a Euclidean relation because if x=y and x=z, then y=z.
- serial: for all x in X, there exists y in X such that xRy. "Is greater than" is a serial relation on the integers. But it is not a serial relation on the positive integers, because there is no y in the positive integers such that 1>y.[6] However, the "Is less than" is a serial relation on the positive integers (the natural numbers), the rational numbers and the real numbers. Every reflexive relation is serial.
- set-like: for every x in X, the class of all y such that yRx is a set. (This makes sense only if we allow relations on proper classes.) The usual ordering < on the class of ordinal numbers is set-like, while its inverse > is not.
A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive is called an equivalence relation. A relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive is called a partial order. A partial order that is total is called a total order, simple order, linear order, or a chain.[7] A linear order where every nonempty set has a least element is called a well-order. A relation that is symmetric, transitive, and serial is also reflexive.
Operations on binary relations [edit]
If R is a binary relation over X and Y, then the following is a binary relation over Y and X:
- Inverse or converse: R −1, defined as R −1 = { (y, x) | (x, y) ∈ R }. A binary relation over a set is equal to its inverse if and only if it is symmetric. See also duality (order theory).
If R is a binary relation over X, then each of the following is a binary relation over X:
- Reflexive closure: R =, defined as R = = { (x, x) | x ∈ X } ∪ R or the smallest reflexive relation over X containing R. This can be seen to be equal to the intersection of all reflexive relations containing R.
- Reflexive reduction: R ≠, defined as R ≠ = R \ { (x, x) | x ∈ X } or the largest irreflexive relation over X contained in R.
- Transitive closure: R +, defined as the smallest transitive relation over X containing R. This can be seen to be equal to the intersection of all transitive relations containing R.
- Transitive reduction: R −, defined as a minimal relation having the same transitive closure as R.
- Reflexive transitive closure: R *, defined as R * = (R +) =, the smallest preorder containing R.
- Reflexive transitive symmetric closure: R ≡, defined as the smallest equivalence relation over X containing R.
If R, S are binary relations over X and Y, then each of the following is a binary relation:
- Union: R ∪ S ⊆ X × Y, defined as R ∪ S = { (x, y) | (x, y) ∈ R or (x, y) ∈ S }.
- Intersection: R ∩ S ⊆ X × Y, defined as R ∩ S = { (x, y) | (x, y) ∈ R and (x, y) ∈ S }.
If R is a binary relation over X and Y, and S is a binary relation over Y and Z, then the following is a binary relation over X and Z: (see main article composition of relations)
- Composition: S ∘ R, also denoted R ; S (or more ambiguously R ∘ S), defined as S ∘ R = { (x, z) | there exists y ∈ Y, such that (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ S }. The order of R and S in the notation S ∘ R, used here agrees with the standard notational order for composition of functions.
Complement [edit]
If R is a binary relation over X and Y, then the following too:
- The complement S is defined as x S y if not x R y.
The complement of the inverse is the inverse of the complement.
If X = Y the complement has the following properties:
- If a relation is symmetric, the complement is too.
- The complement of a reflexive relation is irreflexive and vice versa.
- The complement of a strict weak order is a total preorder and vice versa.
The complement of the inverse has these same properties.
Restriction [edit]
The restriction of a binary relation on a set X to a subset S is the set of all pairs (x, y) in the relation for which x and y are in S.
If a relation is reflexive, irreflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, asymmetric, transitive, total, trichotomous, a partial order, total order, strict weak order, total preorder (weak order), or an equivalence relation, its restrictions are too.
However, the transitive closure of a restriction is a subset of the restriction of the transitive closure, i.e., in general not equal.
Also, the various concepts of completeness (not to be confused with being "total") do not carry over to restrictions. For example, on the set of real numbers a property of the relation "≤" is that every non-empty subset S of R with an upper bound in R has a least upper bound (also called supremum) in R. However, for a set of rational numbers this supremum is not necessarily rational, so the same property does not hold on the restriction of the relation "≤" to the set of rational numbers.
The left-restriction (right-restriction, respectively) of a binary relation between X and Y to a subset S of its domain (codomain) is the set of all pairs (x, y) in the relation for which x (y) is an element of S.
Sets versus classes [edit]
Certain mathematical "relations", such as "equal to", "member of", and "subset of", cannot be understood to be binary relations as defined above, because their domains and codomains cannot be taken to be sets in the usual systems of axiomatic set theory. For example, if we try to model the general concept of "equality" as a binary relation =, we must take the domain and codomain to be the "class of all sets", which is not a set in the usual set theory.
In most mathematical contexts, references to the relations of equality, membership and subset are harmless because they can be understood implicitly to be restricted to some set in the context. The usual work-around to this problem is to select a "large enough" set A, that contains all the objects of interest, and work with the restriction =A instead of =. Similarly, the "subset of" relation ⊆ needs to be restricted to have domain and codomain P(A) (the power set of a specific set A): the resulting set relation can be denoted ⊆A. Also, the "member of" relation needs to be restricted to have domain A and codomain P(A) to obtain a binary relation ∈A that is a set.
Another solution to this problem is to use a set theory with proper classes, such as NBG or Morse–Kelley set theory, and allow the domain and codomain (and so the graph) to be proper classes: in such a theory, equality, membership, and subset are binary relations without special comment. (A minor modification needs to be made to the concept of the ordered triple (X, Y, G), as normally a proper class cannot be a member of an ordered tuple; or of course one can identify the function with its graph in this context.) [8] With this definition one can for instance define a function relation between every set and its power set.
The number of binary relations [edit]
The number of distinct binary relations on an n-element set is 2n2 (sequence A002416 in OEIS):
Number of n-element binary relations of different types | ||||||||
n | all | transitive | reflexive | preorder | partial order | total preorder | total order | equivalence relation |
0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | 16 | 13 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
3 | 512 | 171 | 64 | 29 | 19 | 13 | 6 | 5 |
4 | 65536 | 3994 | 4096 | 355 | 219 | 75 | 24 | 15 |
- The number of irreflexive relations is the same as that of reflexive relations.
- The number of strict partial orders (irreflexive transitive relations) is the same as that of partial orders.
- The number of strict weak orders is the same as that of total preorders.
- The total orders are the partial orders that are also total preorders. The number of preorders that are neither a partial order nor a total preorder is, therefore, the number of preorders, minus the number of partial orders, minus the number of total preorders, plus the number of total orders: 0, 0, 0, 3, and 85, respectively.
- the number of equivalence relations is the number of partitions, which is the Bell number.
The binary relations can be grouped into pairs (relation, complement), except that for n = 0 the relation is its own complement. The non-symmetric ones can be grouped into quadruples (relation, complement, inverse, inverse complement).
Examples of common binary relations [edit]
- order relations, including strict orders:

LOG MOUNTAIN — The Bell County Lady Cats clinched a tie for the top seed in the 52nd District Monday with a 64-34 rout of the Middlesboro Lady Jackets.
The Lady Jackets came out strong looking for an upset. They held Bell to just six points in the first quarter and led 18-14 midway through the second. But the Lady Cats took control of the game with a 15-0 run to close the half and then outscored MHS 20-4 in the third quarter to put it away.
Defense was key as the Lady Cats forced 12 turnovers during the decisive quarter and a half.
"We got off to a very sluggish start. We were defending and moving and things, we just weren't making shots. Sometimes that happens, we've not been in our normal routine here lately," said Bell coach David Teague. "Once we got going I thought we played real well, especially defensively."
Seventh-grader Blair Green, who led all scorers in the game with 22 points, scored six in the first period as the Lady Jackets took an 8-6 lead.
Green hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 12 early in the second quarter. Middlesboro also got a steal and layup from Bailey Hensley and then two free throws from Green to go up 16-12. A jumper by Green gave the Lady Jackets an 18-14 lead with 4:00 to go in the half.
"I thought defensively we did a pretty good job. They missed some shots early, but they were contested shots and I thought we were moving well. Offensively, we were getting good looks and taking care of the basketball," said MHS coach Elgie Green. "I thought the first 14 minutes of the game was about as good as we could play. The last two minutes of the second quarter we just didn't take care of the basketball."
The Lady Jackets wouldn't score again in first half. Bell sophomore guard Jess Sanders knocked down a 3-pointer, then two free throws from Maci Morris after a steal gave the Lady Cats a 19-18 lead at the 2:58 mark. The foul was the third for Hensley and with their point guard on the bench, Middlesboro struggled the rest of the quarter against the Lady Cat defensive pressure.
A Sarah Collins steal led to three-point play by Morris. Then Morris and Sanders both converted steals into layups, Collins hit a free throw and Sanders knocked down a pull up jumper to complete the 15-0 run as the Lady Cats took a 29-18 lead into the half.
"Over the last few days preparing for them we had talked about putting some pressure on people and getting in passing lanes," Teague said. "I thought for the most part the kids did that well. It was a good defensive effort."
Middlesboro scoring drought lasted ten minutes — all the way to the 1:58 mark of the third quarter when Green hit a pair of free throws. By then the Lady Cats were up 43-20 thanks to a pair of 3s from Morgan Garnett and four points each from Sanders and Morris.
"We came out and played hard, but I think fatigue set in and we kind of lost our focus and lost our intensity. When we came out of halftime you could just feel that we didn't have it anymore. We looked tired," Green said. "It's not like they were breaking us down defensively in the halfcourt. We just didn't take good care of the basketball out on the perimeter."
Bell (19-4, 5-1 in district play) continued to pull away and went on to the 64-34 win.
Morris led the Lady Cats with 19 points while Sanders finished with 18 and Garnett 13. Katrina Johnson added nine points off the bench.
"When our guards are scoring the basketball like that it makes us a lot better. It just opens up so much for each of them and everybody else," Teague said. "When those three are in double-figures and we're sharing the ball a lot good things happen for us offensively."
Green's 22 points led Middlesboro (3-17, 0-6). Hensley and Taylor Moyers were the next leading scorers for the Lady Jackets with four points each.
"We knew coming in that Blair was their leading scorer and she's a nice player, even though she's just a seventh grader," Teague added. "We wanted to put pressure on her and make her have to work for some things and at the same time force some others to have to make plays and hit shots."
"Blair had a good game. She took good shots and she had to work to get open. You know, we missed some easy shots. Some point-blank, nobody on us shots and when you play a really good team you've got to convert those," coach Green said. "If we could have got a few of those in the second quarter and kept it close, maybe we go into halftime down just two or three and have a little different attitude."
Middlesboro is scheduled to visit Whitley County today in the first game of a girls-boys double-header. Despite the loss, Green said he was encouraged by the Lady Jackets effort.
"I saw a lot of bright spots and I thought we did some good things. I think we played a little better than the 30-point difference shows," he said.
The Lady Cat are scheduled to host Pineville this evening at 7:30 p.m.
Teague said they'll find out this weekend how the draw shakes out for the 52nd District Tournament.
"It puts us in a tie for first with Harlan County and I guess they'll flip a coin or draw it out. We'll find out Saturday whether we'll play Middlesboro or Harlan City in the first round of the district," he said. "We've got to keep working, we've got some goals we want to accomplish before then. We want to try and keep the kids focused on getting better and then we'll go into that tournament and see what happens."

Published May 1, 2010.
Ideally, grilled tuna should combine a hot, smoky, charred exterior with a cool, rare, sashimi-like center. So how do you make fish that's both very hot and very cool?
Most grilled tuna steaks are either rare in the center with no char or have a great sear enveloping a dry, mealy interior.
We wanted a thick layer of hot, grilled meat with an intense smoky char wrapped around a cool, delicately flavored, tender, and moist center that paired up with nearly any flavoring we could dream up.
We began by selecting tuna steaks that were thick enough to stay on the grill long enough to achieve a decent crust without overcooking. Our initial test of cooking methods proved that using direct heat with a hot fire, and getting the tuna on and off the grill as quickly as possible, was the best approach.
We started by covering the grill with aluminum foil while it preheated. For the charred flavor we were after, we turned to an ingredient that can enhance browning: oil. Oil helps to distribute heat evenly over the surface of the fish, including those areas not actually touching the grill grate, and it adds a little fat to lean tuna, which keeps the exterior from getting too dry and stringy.
But oil alone didn't infuse our fish with grill flavor. We discovered that to moisten the tuna's flesh, the oil needs to penetrate the meat's tiny muscle fibers. But tuna is full of water, and oil and water don't mix, so to get the oil to coat these fibers, we needed it to be in a state where it wouldn't repel water, such as a vinaigrette. To test this theory, we brushed a simple vinaigrette onto the fish before grilling. The dressing (and its oil) clung to the fish, moistening its exterior and solving the problem of dry, stringy flesh. It also reduced fishy odor and boosted grill flavor.
We often turn to sugar to improve browning. But before table sugar can brown, it has to break down into simple sugars, a process long enough that it would also mean overcooking our fish. We scoured our cabinets and found a suitable alternative: honey. It's made primarily of simple sugars, so it's already primed for browning. Plus it delivered the same results as sugar, but faster.

Fantasy football analysis draft: Round 8
by KFFL Staff
on August 6, 2012 @ 17:10:43
Follow @KFFL
KFFL.com's Fantasy Football Analysis Draft (FAD) brings you behind the scenes on all 16 rounds of an actual fantasy football league draft. Each of our experts participating give you their analysis on why they took the player they did. This is not a mock fantasy football draft; this league will be played out during the course of the 2012 fantasy football season ... each participant is drafting to win! A standard scoring system with one point per reception (RB-WR-TE) was used for this draft. 1) Jahvid Best, running back, Detroit Lions Fantasy football analysis: Given that his bones are made of glass and he is still battling some lingering effects from his concussion last year, this is a risky pick. However, he is an explosive weapon, especially in the passing game, when he is healthy. Detroit is going to throw the ball most of the time anyway, and Best had 58 catches in 2010. I'll take my chances that he gets on the field and becomes a useful part of a high-scoring Lions' offense. Matthew Stafford finally stayed healthy last year and erupted into a fantasy juggernaut. I am hoping Best follows suit. 2) Nate Washington, wide receiver, Tennessee Titans Fantasy football analysis: Washington posted career highs in receptions (74), receiving yards (1,023) and touchdowns (7) in 2011 - not bad numbers for a WR3. If Jake Locker beats out Matt Hasselbeck for the Titans' starting quarterback job, that's good news for fantasy teams that own Washington - he caught all four of Locker's TD passes last season. 3) James Starks, running back, Green Bay Packers Fantasy football analysis: Hopefully the early-camp snafus will come and go. He's the Pack's best bet at a full-time worker, and this offense is powerful enough to boost someone who already boasts raw skills. 1,200 total yards, 25 catches and eight touchdowns marks the low end of my expectations - at this juncture, I'm taking a shot. 4) Mike Williams, wide receiver, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fantasy football analysis: Tampa Mike is my favorite bounce-back receiver for 2012 and has sleeper written all over him. With Vincent Jackson taking most of the safety shades away from Williams' side of the field, the third-year receiver will find plenty of room to work in one-on-one coverage. Josh Freeman is maturing and has a great offensive line to allow him time to pass. Williams will catch 75 balls for 975 yards and score seven or more times. 5) Pierre Garcon, wide receiver, Washington Redskins Fantasy football analysis: A line of 70-947-6 isn't a bad year while playing on the hapless Indianapolis Colts last season. He has improved each of the last two seasons and could improve upon last year's numbers with more talent around him. QB Robert Griffin III should have his growing pains, but Garcon could be the team's No. 1 receiver. That is pretty decent upside for a WR4. 6) Kyle Rudolph, tight end, Minnesota Vikings Fantasy football analysis: As a rookie in 2011, Rudolph caught 26 balls for 249 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns, catching 79 percent of the passes hurled his way. He is widely regarded as an up and coming TE and makes a fine backup for me in this league. TE John Carlson was signed in the offseason and it had been thought he would deeply cut into the production of Rudolph, but Carlson suffered a sprained MCL in training camp, which follows his lost season in 2011 due to a torn labrum. Rudolph likely will be the No. 1 TE for the Vikings and it is reasonable to see him (and also Carlson) as a safety valve for young QB Christian Ponder. He should double last year's output, posting about 45-50 catches for about 500-600 receiving yards and five to six TDs. He makes a possible flex play on the weeks when the matchup is favorable. Half of Round 8 down, six more picks to go Round: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
| 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 |

Students give back to their community: Chestnut Square gets a sprucing up thanks to Collin College
Kelsey Kruzich / Staff Photo
By Bill Conrad, firstname.lastname@example.com
Instead of heading to the beach or other exotic locales for spring break, a handful of Collin College students and faculty members chose to spend their week off doing community service projects for local nonprofits.
The college�s annual Alternative Break program is in its third year. This year, participants worked at ManeGait, a therapeutic horse ranch, as well as Chestnut Square, located just south of downtown McKinney.
Terry Hockenbaugh, director of the college�s center for scholarly and civic engagement, said many of the participants want to give back to their community and do something meaningful over spring break. She added many faculty members incorporate volunteer time into their curriculum and have students take lessons learned in class and apply them in the community.
�A lot of us out here are in a speech class and our professor is having us do a group speech over our volunteer project,� said Linsey Montgomery, a sophomore from McKinney who worked with four classmates on the goat pen. �I enjoy being out here and helping. It gets us out of the house since I don�t think any of us had anything to do over spring break but sit at home.�
Chris Irwin, a sophomore from Melissa and one of Montgomery�s classmates, said the group chose to work with animals for their service project. He said prior to working at Chestnut Square on Tuesday, several members of the class worked at ManeGait on Monday, where they cleaned out stalls and brushed down horses.
Irwin, as well as Montgomery; JD Melvin, a sophomore from Allen; Leslie Belmonte, a sophomore from Anna; and Megan Haywood, a sophomore from Anna, added chain-length fence to the goat pen, effectively doubling the living area for the goats. They also cleaned out the old hay and walked McKinney and Collin, 2-year-old Nigerian dwarf goats who are used as educational tools at Chestnut Square, around the grounds for their daily exercise.
Alice Yeager, the volunteer coordinator at Chestnut Square, said there are six buildings on the property and only five paid staff members to maintain them, teach educational classes and administer tours. She said with such a limited staff, volunteers are necessary for nearly all aspects of running Chestnut Square.
�We love our volunteers,� Yeager said. �We have special events throughout the year, such as the Ice Cream Crank Off, a fashion show and a holiday tour of homes that has been going since 1973. All of it is volunteer based and couldn�t be done without them.�

Professional's Choice: Our Beginning
Written by Michele Scott
My parents are the original American Dreamers who startedProfessional's Choice over thirty-six years ago. Along the way, therehave been plenty of tough times and some great times. In each step alongthe way, we always moved forward by listening to and growing with ourhorses, while striving to make the lives of our horses more comfortable.
Where We Came From
Over the years, I have been asked innumerable times, exactly howProfessional's Choice was started. I have to take credit for that. Well,sort of. You see, I fell in love with horses when I was about fiveyears old. My parents had recently bought a home with a little land onit where it was possible to maintain horses. The neighbors across thestreet had a pony, and occasionally I would go over and get a ride, butthat didn't satisfy me. I wanted my own horse. Luckily for me, my dadhad grown up with horses on a ranch, so he was pretty much on the samepage as I was. I'm not sure how my mom felt about it, but she got onboard soon enough. So it was not long before Dad brought home thisgentle giant of a horse named Ivan, who was some kind of Draft/Quarterthing. Ivan stood about 16.3 and had a butt on him that felt wider thanriding a bus. I have no clue as to what Dad paid for this horse, butwhatever it was, he proved to be worth millions. He taught so manypeople how to ride-kids and adults from ages six to sixty. He had tohave been one of God�s angels on this Earth, because Ivan genuinelyloved people and other animals. Ivan passed away when he was aboutthirty years old and he's buried on my parents' property under hisfavorite tree.

At Love2have, we know that a lot of ladies jewellery particularly pendants and necklaces, are bought for them by their loved ones as presents. It can be difficult when buying someone a jewellery gift, to choose a style and design that will suit. Although big, bold bright and beaded may be OK for daily wear, most women would prefer something a bit more tasteful and desire a necklace or pendant that will look good for many years to come.
Silver necklaces and pendants are still the most popular with ladies because this precious metal looks good with anything. So a nice quality piece can be worn with denims and t shirts but will look just as good worn with that little black dress.
Heart jewellery is still very popular and we have several different design styles from the more classic to the contemporary featuring a single heart or even clusters of little hearts which will always be great favourites. Many of our pieces can be made in classic shiny silver or you can have oxidised for a more urban look. Check out our very affordable Melt Me range with luscious chunks of silver on silver snake chains. For a bit of fun jewellery, meet Voodoo Lou and Doomed Dolly which can be personalised with your choice of coloured beads if you want.
Our contemporary celtic silver collars such as the Ocean Runic Symbol Collar with Grey Pearl and Tourmaline are stunning pieces which any woman would be pleased to receive or wear. We have matching bangles, bracelets and earrings to go with most of our necklaces. Don't forget if it's a present we can gift wrap it and include a personalised card from you.

Don't make me destroy you.

The Hornets started playing this game last year, and they still seem to playing it this year. So with the popularity of the game within the organization, the game has finally become an official sponsor of the New Orleans Hornets. Gordon has liked this game so much, that he has actually stayed in California for the first few months of the season, just to finish the game. Jarret Jack was actually one of the biggest supporters of the game last year, however, he became disgruntle with the game, after about halfway through, so he left the Hornets after a heated argument about the upcoming sponsorship. So, I introduce to you the new sponsor of the New Orleans Hornets...

FIRST-TIMERS Read This
The web is changing. It is now infested with predators. Due to changes in copyright law, images that were in the public domain and free to use have now been registered by predatory companies who then crawl the web searching for sites that use the images. Then they charge exorbitant fees for the use or they sue. Due to the changes in copyright law, you have no defense. It does not matter where you obtained the images, that you obtained permission from the supposed owner to use them, or that you paid for them, the current registered owner of the images can demand and receive court judgments against you. Because of this, I have removed all images from the website except those created by me. I may add images back at a later date.
Some links, especially to videos, are external links. Just as with humans, web sites are born, change, and die daily, so some of the links may be broken or the sites may have closed. When this is the case, you will get an error when trying to open the links. I don't have the time to continually verify video links, so I have removed them. Martial art videos are easily found and viewed on video sites such as YouTube. I May add YouTube links at a later date.
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art; some Taekwondo schools use a lot of Korean terminology, some use very little, and some use none. TKDTutor believes instructors should use the common language of their country. Since TKDTutor is based in the United States, it uses English terminology, although some common Korean terms are used. The terminology topic presents Korean equivalents of several English terms.

I was just wondering if anyone else is reading/has read this, and would like to discuss it.
I'm almost 200 hundred pages in. I'm hoping to finish it over winter break.
Is anyone reading/discussing it for Jan 2010?
Christopher M. Mahon
I am.
Can anyone recommend additional reading on intellectual property? His support of copyrights and not patents seems a bit weak. This is my first experience with a free market perspective on IP, so if someone could recommend a more in depth examination of the subject I would appreciate it.
Against Intellectual Monopoly by Boldrin and Levine
Against intellectual Property by Kinsella
The first is not exactly Austrian, but close, well documented and a very good read. Kinsella seems to be leading the charge against this issue. Both are available free as pdfs.
I was slightly confused about this as well, until I read this:
"In a recent survey on interest theory, Professor Sennholz (1996, p. 127) reminded his readers that, as "was the case a century ago, the phenomenon of interest income continues to be enmeshed in much controversy, which makes it one of the most open and demanding subjects of economic inquiry."
What is this controversial phenomenon of interest income? In the most general way, it can be described as follows: Successful business is characterized by a positive spread between the sum total of prices paid for its factors of production and the sum total of prices received as proceeds for its products. The entrepreneur earns more money by selling his products than he spends on the factors of production that bring these products into being. The customers pay more money for his products than he pays for the factors of production of these products.
This phenomenon raises the fundamental question whether the entire spread between selling proceeds and cost expenditure can be "arbitraged away" through entrepreneurial competition, or whether at least a part of this spread cannot be so arbitraged away (see Kirzner 1993, p. 167f.). In other words, does the entire spread consist of entrepreneurial profit, which can be eliminated as a consequence of the competition of other entrepreneurs, or does it contain a component that cannot be so eliminated—does it also contain an interest component? And if it does contain an interest component, what is its cause?"
Thus, interest (not how we usually think of interest - as the difference between present and future satisfaction - but very similar) is different from entrepreneurial profit; and it cannot be simply arbitraged away. Competition can only reduce entrepreneurial profit to a certain level - the natural rate of interest. Of course, this is a subjective value - it does not have to be of any particular size and it will be different from individual to individual and it will change over time.

It is a sad time and also a glad time. It is a time for personal and private introspection, a time to prayerfully contemplate our inner thoughts and examine our motives.
It is a time to see ourselves in the light of God's expectations of us and a time to seriously consider our relationship with God. John Dryden said 500 years ago, "Think much and speak little." Most of us think little and speak much.
When the ark of God was brought to the city of David, all the tribes of Israel and the elders were gathered in Jerusalem. David said, "Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Talk about his wondrous works, he is the Lord our God." Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica: "In everything give thanks; this is the will of God."
"Sing unto the Lord, and shew forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen, and his marvelous works among the nations, for great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is also to be feared above all other gods."
The late comedian George Carlin made us laugh. Soon after his wife died, he wrote some thought-provoking lines about life and what is really important. I have taken the editorial privilege to alter some of his words without doing damage to his thoughts.
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have built taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but less tolerance. We have larger houses but smaller families; we have more conveniences, but less time. We drink too much, drive too fast, smoke too much and spend money foolishly; laugh too little, stay up too late, read too little and watch too much TV. We hate too often, love too seldom and pray too little.
"We've learned to make a living, but not a life. We live longer, but not better. We can explore the surface of Mars, but have neglected our neighbors across the street. We have conquered outer space, but have failed to conquer ourselves.
"We have cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We have powerful men in big jobs with little character. We have more telephones and less communication. We have fewer marriages and more divorces.
"It's important to tell your loved ones that you love them. A kind word can heal a broken heart. A gentle touch can inspire a broken spirit. Some day you may find yourself walking alone. Always remember that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments in life that take our breath away."
"Trust in God" is a theme that runs through the Bible like a golden thread through the fabric of life. When you suffer, when you are at your wits end, when everything is falling apart, keep trusting in God.
When you lose your way and everyone has forsaken you, remember that Jesus is the way. He is the answer to all our needs. When darkness covers us, he is the light of the world. When we are hungry, he is the bread of life; when we are thirsty, he is the water of life. When we are lost, he is the searching shepherd.
Robert V. Ozment is a retired United Methodist minister.

The Literary and Historical Society of Quebec published thousands of pages of valuable documents between 1824 and 1924. These are a testimony to the growth of cultural and intellectual activity in Canada as well as to our earliest history. The Transactions deal primarily with original scientific, historical and literary research. The Historical Documents reprint early works of Canadian historical interest found in archival sources around the world. Topics covered are eclectic, ranging from ostrich farming on the Cape of Good Hope to a history of eau-de-vie in Canada.
