Well that was a shock at first. Seems Yahtzee finally made enough money to afford a new headset which extremely thins out his trademark rambling.
Not a big fan of the new voice in short but nice review and this just motivated me to start a difficulty mod for AC2 on the PC.
Cause if the console version is to easy than imagine the PC version where you aim so accurate you would practically be able to shoot someone across the city.
thats what i thought
Wow, he started complaining after the half of the video? The game must be freaking awesome.
Can you all stop reminding me of it, now? I'm still waiting for the PC version.
Are you stupid or just under age? It's a new microphone which properly picks up the bass frequencies and accurately represents the highs instead of the crappy consumer class headset microphone that you're used to hearing and which you probably use yourself. And what's worse is that you claim to prefer the low quality mic presumably because you're sonically retarded.
We should now discuss who kidnapped Yahtzee and what guy replaced him. Surely that can't be him?
(PS: I'm kidding. Still, it took me two minutes to figure out.)
Good quality review, but I'm tempted to say that Yahtzee had one of his friends/comrades/tools do the review for him. It was the same style but the new voice is just not right for speaking fast, Yahtzee's normal one is the best for that.
"I swear those motherfuckers are starting to hunt in packs" ROFL so true, last night I got bombarded by about 5 of the goofy dumbasses and I had to move about them like a maze, while at the same time I had to escort those two ladies you know who I mean.
WHERE IS THE OLD VOICE? :o
>Asscreed 2 better than Asscreed 1
>Liked Asscreed 1
That's all I really need to hear.
I don't like his new headset or whatever he's using. Voice sounds too processed, not raw enough, and too civilized.
I agree, it sounds like he has a cold.
Almost every comment above you is from a new user. And 3 were banned. No one won =[
I guess he liked it? It's not really clear. Well, I loved it.
Hmm, from what you say, it seems AC2's guards are the ancestors of MGS1's Genome Soldiers.
"whose paintings are these?"
"Just my imagination"
That was lame.
Sounds like he got a new mic, or recorded in an actual studio.
Either way, another good one. I knew an Italian dude who smelled like garlic all the time.
That was not Yahtzee!
As well as not sounding right, there didn't seem to be any funny analogies, as much dark humour and at the end credits he said "Yahtzee would like to say" as if he wasn't Yahtzee, and his voice sounded weird. Actually I've said that twice now. But it was really weird.
Very dissapointed.
Yeah yeah, there is always a dozen+ people saying "He's not funny anymore, he hasn't been funny since X review" on any video. Funnily enough there is also a dozen+ people saying "This was a lot funnier than your other recent ones, good one" What does this tell us? People are idiots.
Also, I think his "new" voice is actually closer to his "old" one than it has been for sometime. Don't believe me, then take a listen to his Psychonauts review.
Oh no, he writes in the third person! It must be an imposter! Derp derp.
Whats up with the new mic?
He sounds a lot less angry and.. well, funny.
so they finally got you into a recording studio then...not just a headset :P
It sounds like Mr. Yahtzee has the sniffles again. My guess is it's H1N1. With any luck he'll be back to his old self again next week.
Questo film e stato buonissimo! Mi piacciono Ezio e "Assassin's Creed 2"!
Nice Jurassic Park reference in there.
NON SEQUITUR: Italians are probably the antithesis of "tossers". I can only imagine how much tourist poon they get.
Theres a difference between better mic quality and sounding like someone else people. I reckon he did it on purpose just to mess with everyones heads, which it has.
Lol Yahtzee, wtf happened to your voice (or is this really him...). Anyway, great video.
Is it just me or do people always end up getting put on probation on the first page of comments for any review that Yahtzee does?
Also, it sounds like you might have a bit of a cold. Get some Vix soothing rub, not sure why but it does burn so it has to be doing something.
A weird-sounding voice and none of the attitude we've come to expect? Was this really Yahtzee, or was it his brother Farkle?
Am I the only one who thinks Yahtzee's voice in this video sounds exactly the same as he did in his Heavenly Sword(s) review? It's like we've gone back in time to the first few reviews. Interesting.
I was looking forward to this review, and it did not disappoint :)
Great, this one, the useless pile of money at the end doesn't help the lack of challenge one bit. Finding/questing for money becomes redundant after the first 5 hours.
What's with the smoother voice thing, I hope it's only temporary?
that Da Vinci gun that Yahtzee doesn't understand is there, cos its a gun!,
Just in case you lot don't know Da Vinci was a sort of Scientist for the military and he'd invent weapons and shit, like the first ever Tank and the second ever machine gun. Surely you can understand painting that grumpy old hag all your life would have made you make stuff that shoots things up.
The first machine gun being made by the Romans, those sly Italian tossers.
Amusing review as always. BTW thanks for the "tossers"... Even I couldn't find a better definition for my people!
I'm fairly certain that the Graham from Unskippable did this one and have Yahtzee digitally alter his voice afterward.
The guy talking during the review was definetely not Yahtzee. In that little message he always has at the end of the credits, it was written as if someone was speaking for Yahtzee.
I like the AC Review he really nailed this one on the head as well. I am a bit sad it not as funny as alot of his old video. I really wish Hhe could be more like his youtube videos before where he was to busy being a funny asshole and less worry with the whole Review deal. Still This was a great review and it hit all the rewview parts of the game.
Still I not sure why everyone is making a big deal with Yahtzee voice. I thought he decided to do a review sober. It just seems like Yahzee was going off on his drunk rage ranks over a game.
I love how everyone's flailing about the new voice. We must be memorized by its melodic qualities to the point that we begin withdrawal immediately upon its loss.

Priest survey: What do Catholic clergy think of the new Mass translations?
The Catholic Church was abuzz last year in anticipation of the new English translation of the Roman Missal being introduced in parishes around the country. The change caused a lot of anxiety for people in the pews, but it put just as much pressure--if not more--on Catholic priests.
We want to know how priests really feel about the new translation as we near the first anniversary of its implementation. Has the transition in your parish gone smoothly, or do you still face daily struggles with the use of the new translations?
Please take our survey and let us know your thoughts on the new Roman Missal, and we'll publish the results in our December 2012 issue. (If you are not a Catholic priest, please click here to take the general version of this survey.)

Dear Lifehacker,
I have a desktop PC that I connect using Ethernet, but I'd like to add Wi-Fi to it for the rare occasions that I need it. What's the best way to do so?
Without Wi-Fi
Dear Without Wi-Fi,
Desktop PCs do not usually come with built-in Wi-Fi, especially older models. So if you need to get wireless connectivity on your beige box, you have a few options: you can use either USB Wi-Fi adapter, a PCI-E Wi-Fi card, a new motherboard with built-in Wi-Fi.
Over the years, I have used or helped install PCI cards, USB adapters and motherboards with built-in Wi-Fi. What you should buy isn't a simple answer. In all cases, it depends on your needs.
For The Most Convenient: USB Wi-Fi Adapters
You know how you plug your flash drive into your PC's USB port and it just works? That is almost exactly how a USB Wi-Fi adapter works, which is what makes it the most convenient option. The first time, you may need to install drivers, but from then on, it's just plug-and-play.
- The plug-and-play convenience means that you can remove it if it isn't needed, and use it in another PC.
- Because it's USB, it's not confined to the back of your PC. In fact, you can get solid reception for your wireless computer devices with a USB hub. There are some great USB hubs you can buy which can be placed much further away from your PC, thus giving you a longer range for your USB Wi-Fi adapter too.
- The single biggest annoyance with USB Wi-Fi adapters is that if you have set your PC to go into sleep mode, then depending on your adapter or your motherboard, it can stop working. I know, it doesn't seem like it should happen. But take it from a guy who has gone through every forum out there about this problem, changed every single power setting on his PC, and tried every kooky workaround. Apart from actually switching off Sleep Mode, there's nothing you can do. And it's difficult to identify which PC will be affected by this problem. I have had a USB adapter give this problem on one PC but not on another, indicating it's a problem with the PC. I have had different USB adapters work or not work on the same PC, indicating it's an adapter issue. And I have had USB adapters which work perfectly on PCs while in sleep mode. Nothing on the Internet offers a solution, nor did talking to engineers at the adapter manufacturers. The question you have to ask yourself is, "Do I feel lucky?" (Obviously, this isn't a problem if you don't leave the adapter plugged in 24/7).
- Most USB Wi-Fi adapters are good enough for home connections, but PCI cards will generally give you better throughput. It's not that a PCI card can go where a USB adapter can't—it's that the rate of transfer is usually better on PCI cards, provided they have multiple antennas with MIMO spatial multiplexing.
For Best Connectivity: Wi-Fi PCI Cards
USB adapters generally offer the same kind of connectivity that you will get on motherboards with built-in Wi-Fi, unless you use the aforementioned trick of using a USB hub to extend that. For more stable connections across larger distances, and better throughput, Wi-Fi PCI cards have worked better in my experience. Of course, it isn't the solution for everyone.
- The biggest benefit of Wi-Fi PCI cards is that you will get spatial multiplexing over MIMO if that's supported by your router and card. In simpler terms, if your card has two or more antennas and your router has the same number of antennas, you will get better connectivity since respective antennas at both ends can talk to each other.
- If you have limited USB ports on your PC already, the Wi-Fi PCI card helps—you probably aren't using all the PCI slots on your motherboard anyway.
- It's ridiculous to even compare the convenience of a USB wireless adapter to a Wi-Fi PCI card. The latter is good if you are going to use it for a single PC and never change that. For any other scenario, a USB adapter is better.
- There aren't many 801.11ac PCI cards, and they cost a lot more than 802.11ac USB adapters.
If You're Upgrading Your PC: Try a Wi-Fi Enabled Motherboard
If you're looking to upgrade your PC anyway, it might make more sense to upgrade your motherboard than buy an adapter. Such motherboards don't offer any performance boost over USB or PCI cards, but you aren't taking up that PCI or USB port.
In some cases, upgrading may even be a better deal. I was considering buying a decent 802.11b/g/n PCI card for my 6-year-old PC (about $40), but crunching the numbers, it made more sense to upgrade the motherboard and processor. With that upgrade (which cost a total of $180 after exchange), I now have a PC that will be working well for the next 4-5 years.
Other Things to Consider
Depending on the above information, you should be able to figure out the best thing to buy for your needs. But when you hit the market, make sure you consider the other important factors too. Buy something that's well-reviewed, and buy an adapter that has the right speed for your network (e.g., an adapter with Wireless N instead of Wireless G). You might also consider buying an adapter with super-fast 802.11ac, as long as you have compatible router—or plan on getting one in the near future.
Enjoy your Wi-Fi!

A person who parked their Mercedes-Benz in a lot at Edinburgh's Waverly railway station is going to have a very exciting scene when they return for their car. Because their car is now the solitary inhabitant of Parking Space Isle.
The driver somehow ignored or moved the barriers cordoning off a parking area set to be resurfaced and improved, possibly thinking that the high-class nature of their sleek black Mercedes rendered them immune from having to pay attention to "cordons" and "barriers" like some poor schmuck would. Or maybe they're just, you know, an idiot.
Incredibly, the workers didn't tow the car or pave over it with tarmac or, as far as I know, urinate into the fresh air vents. The workers got on with the job, and neatly cut a little 1 3/4 parking area for the car to live on. They even made a little ramp, in anticipation of the day when the prodigal owner would return, to much joy.
A rail company spokesperson explained,
"The car park had been cordoned off so we could begin work to resurface it and improve the lighting at the facility for our passengers. The motorist moved the barriers and parked in the worksite, but we've left a ramp for them to exit and will be happy to return their vehicle once they contact us."
That really seems more than fair. The fine image of the lonely, forlorn, island-dwelling Benz was tweeted by Alice Robertson:
I just hope someone's there to tweet the expression on the owner's face when they come for their car. Also, someone should check to see if the Benz made friends with a volleyball. I'm told that's what people on islands do.

The purpose of the Drumometer is to measure a drummer's technical accuracy, hand or foot speed and offer a means to visualize his or her practice routine. Drumometer does this by counting the total number of strokes a drummer can play within a preset time (1 to 900 seconds). The Drumometer is a wonderful practice motivator to develop a relaxed playing style, for developing endurance and great technique, and improving their sense of timing. The Drumometer is a useful teaching tool with a surprise benefit being the almost feverish addiction to practice that it causes as students can't seem to get enough.
The Drumometer is capable of measuring a drummer's speed on four primary devices:
1. By direct hook-up to the Drum-O-Pad (an internally triggered electronic drum pad),
2. By attaching the supplied Drum-O-Trigger to a tunable practice pad,
3. By direct hook-up to most electronic drums,
4. By attaching the supplied Drum-O-Trigger to a heavily dampened (muffled) drum.
The drum trigger or direct hook-up carries an electronic signal to the Drumometer. When the practice pad or drum is struck, the timer immediately starts counting down and the counter records each drum stroke or tap until the desired time has elapsed. When the timer reaches zero (00) the Drumometer stops, the Zero Tone Alert (ZAT) sounds through the internal speaker or optional headphones, and the number of strokes played is displayed. For a new attempt, press the red Reset button or tap the remote footswitch and the Drumometer resets the counter to zero (0000) and renews the desired time.
Some ask, "Why do I need a Drumometer to measure speed when I already have a metronome that tells me how fast I'm playing?" A metronome will tell you that you are executing a certain pattern at a certain tempo, but it won't tell you how accurately you are executing that pattern. The Drumometer will show you exactly how well that pattern is being executed. A metronome is an invaluable tool to develop timing, meter, and accuracy with subdivisions but it does not correct or gauge technical accuracy-the Drumometer does! Technical accuracy can only be corrected by creating consistent and relaxed strokes. The Drumometer enables you to correct your strokes immediately while you are playing to achieve the desired goal. So you get immediate feedback on your practice routine. The same principle holds true for double-strokes, other rudiments, or any pattern you might choose.
In 1999, Boo McAfee teamed with electrical engineer and drummer, Craig Alan, to develop the machine that many had said was impossible to build. In just 2 months Craig solved the problem of accurately counting drum strokes and built a working proto-type which was first publicly shown at the 1999 PASIC in Columbus, Ohio. Boo and Craig were surprised by the almost feverish addiction created by the Drumometer. The excitement generated by the Drumometer prototype was absolutely phenomenal.
The Drumometer was originally developed to detect a drummer's hand and foot speed, but quickly became a very useful teaching tool. As both pros and students began using the Drumometer, it became apparent there was a huge misconception concerning speed, power, stick locations, volume, finesse, control, muscle tension, larger muscle groups vs. smaller muscle groups, stick weight and size, consistency, rebound, and endurance. The Drumometer shows tangible evidence of these combinations that will not only produce speed, but also increase endurance, dexterity, and a more relaxed and comfortable playing style. In order to increase the effectiveness of the Drumometer, Model II has included many requested features.

Only time for a short swim tonight. I had to attend my daughter's "Math is Cool" competition. All the 4th grades from the various elementary school in central Washington were there for the competition. They did various individual and team testing first, then I came later and watched the "college bowl" games being played. They were paired up against 3 other schools in our room, and each went against the other schools in a battle of sorts. Needless to say...our school was there...may not have answered many questions ahead of the other teams buzzing in...but they were there, and had fun.
Some of the questions were EZ (remember, these are 4th graders), but other questions were like "HUH????" and made me think of the gameshow "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" w/ Jeff Foxworthy. I'm glad my daughter had fun tonight.
Quick swim, there were very few kids there tonight with the meet going on this weekend in Spokane. I was able to get my own lane, and also able to just blaze my way through my own workout before I had to get out...
500 Free
400 Free Pull
300 IM Drill on the Fly
200 Flutter Kick w/ board
100 Free
4 x 125 Free Pull @ 1:35 (avg'd 1:23/1:24)
4 x 100 (1 of each stroke IMOrder) @ 1:30
went 1:10/1:20/1:29/1:08
4 Rounds of:
- 75 Free Build @ 1:00 (about :53s)
- 25 Free Sprint @ :45 (:14-15s)
100 EZ and gone

You won't find the windows open at night at Steve and Gay Grossman's home in La Jolla. They don't want neighbors to think someone is hurting their teenage daughter, Lilly. Her cries can be loud and chilling.
Lilly suffers from painful tremors that occur six to eight times a night, shaking her 100-pound body for a minute or two. She also has strength and balance problems, requiring her to use a walker or wheelchair. At 16, there's little about her life that's easy.
Many times, the Grossmans have hugged their daughter and wondered: What's wrong with Lilly? Will she ever get better? Will she die prematurely?
Answers are beginning to emerge from a small specimen of Lilly's blood. A decade after scientists spent $2.7 billion to sequence the human genome, the cost of mapping an individual's DNA has dropped to about $4,000, and it may fall to $1,000 by the end of this year.
Researchers have started to sequence the full genome of a small but growing number of people. One of those patients is Lilly, whose ailments have defied more conventional diagnosis.
The work is part of a budding revolution that's expected to transform medicine. Sequencing doesn't come with a promise of cures, but scientists are identifying troublesome genes. There's been so much progress that health advocates like Retta Beery of Encinitas said full genome sequencing is the first thing doctors should do for patients with obscure or unknown disorders.
The idea is filled with hope and heartache. As Lilly's case shows, sequencing can be a mixed bag.
The Grossmans attended the "Future of Genomics" conference in La Jolla on Thursday and shared their story of how scientists found a mutant gene that appears to be causing Lilly's tremors. Lilly was put on a drug that has reduced the spasms. Scientists also pinpointed a second mutant gene that's likely the cause of most of her strength and balance problems. There's currently no fix for that.
And there was a third major discovery, one that made Steve Grossman choke up a bit: "Lilly doesn't have mitochondrial disease, which was thought to be the case," he said. "She can live a normal life span. She will be with us."
The way forward?
Such information is coming to light because a handful of scientists across the country have been pushing to bring widespread sequencing of people's genomes into the mainstream. One of those crusaders is Dr. Eric Topol, whose office is about a mile from the Grossmans' front door. Topol is chief academic officer of Scripps Health and director of a research institute that sequenced the genome of eight patients, including Lilly.
In often blunt terms, Topol repeatedly tells physicians that they're laggards when it comes to medical genomics. He tempers his remarks by saying, "You have families who go through sequencing and end up getting excellent outcomes. Then there are the disappointments, cases where no help can be provided. Lilly falls somewhere in between."
But Topol is convinced that genetics is the way forward, leading him to organize the annual "Future of Genomics" conference, now in its sixth year. He also wrote the book "The Creative Destruction of Medicine," which implores the public to be strong advocates for their own health.
That's something the Grossmans have done for almost 16 years, during a medical odyssey in which a half-dozen people who needed each other's help united within a 20-mile radius of La Jolla.
Quest for answers
The journey began in Cleveland in 1997, when Steve Grossman was working as a sales manager for a laboratory equipment company. Gay Grossman had quit her job as a drug saleswoman to start her own business and begin a family.
Lilly was born in February of that year, and all seemed well. But about six months later, the Grossmans noticed that their daughter wasn't pulling herself up in her crib as many babies do.
Their concern deepened in the following months. Lilly wasn't sitting up normally. A doctor told them there was nothing to worry about. But the Grossmans pressed the matter, bringing Lilly to a neurologist. He gave a devastating diagnosis: Lilly had cerebral palsy. She was 18 months old.
"We could have stopped right there with that diagnosis, but it didn't seem right," Steve Grossman said.
The couple took Lilly to experts at the renowned Cleveland Clinic. If they had wandered into the cardiology department, they might have met Topol. He was the clinic's star researcher.
Amid various treatments, things grew worse. When Lilly was 4, the tremors she experienced during the day began to occur at night. Comforting her wasn't easy.
"It was like holding a 23-pound puppy, which withered and wiggled, not wanting to be held," Gay Grossman said. "She'd cry in our arms and then her body would collapse into sleep. Some days, I would feel like I'd just gotten off a ship that had been thrown around in the current all night long."
Lilly also was sensitive to the weather. When the temperature rose above 75 degrees, she'd grow lethargic. When it was cold, she couldn't firmly grip her walker with mittens on. She'd go without them, causing her hands to chap.
A fateful move
By the time Lilly was 8, her parents had endured enough. Steve Grossman looked at weather.com to find places with better weather. He was impressed by San Diego. He also realized that the area has a huge health-care industry and lots of research institutes and biotech companies.
"We thought we might bump into somebody who could help us," he said. "That's sort of what ended up happening."
The Grossmans moved to La Jolla in 2005, the same year Ali Torkamani began graduate school at the University of California San Diego. As the Grossmans would later learn from direct experience, Torkamani was a genius when it came to spotting mutant genes.
In late 2006, Topol announced that he was leaving the Cleveland Clinic for La Jolla, where he created the Scripps Translational Science Institute.
At the time, sequencing one person's entire genome cost tens of millions of dollars. Topol believed technological advances would cause prices to drop, and that personal genomics would become an important part of medicine.
He was right, and some of the first beneficiaries were Noah and Alexis Beery, the twin children of Joe and Retta Beery of Encinitas. The family moved to San Diego County in 2008 so Joe could take a job with a firm that became Life Technologies, which makes gene sequencers.
The Beery children suffered from movement disorders and other problems that were getting worse, especially for Alexis. Their parents were desperate for help when they attended a Topol lecture in 2010.
"He gave a slide presentation about sequencing and all the mutations that had been found in the last five years, the last two years, the last year," Retta Beery recalled. "As we left the conference I said, 'Joe, is there any way to get Alexis' genome sequenced?'"
Life Technologies put the Beerys in touch with a researcher at Baylor University, who then sequenced the twins and identified the source of their maladies. That led to a change in medicine and an end to the symptoms they were experiencing.
The case resulted in lots of news stories, one of which appeared on Gay Grossman's Facebook feed in 2011. "I read it and thought, 'What about Lilly? Can we get her sequenced?'" she remembered.
She forwarded the story to Lilly, who found the Beerys' contact information on LinkedIn and Facebook. Soon, the Beerys and Grossmans were friends. Retta Beery introduced Gay Grossman to other parents with ailing children, including a woman who passed on a piece of information that floored the Grossmans: Topol planned to sequence the genome of people with undiagnosed diseases and disorders, and he was looking for patients.
Not a cure-all
The screening was being done by Topol's daughter, Sarah, who is the translational institute's clinical trials coordinator.
"I was determined to make Lilly her new best friend," Gay Grossman recalled. "I showed up with a pink binder that contained Lilly's medical records and a note from her school saying that she had a 3.5 GPA."
Lilly was accepted for the study. Sarah Topol drew her blood — about two spoons' worth — in August 2011, and the wait for results began. The Grossmans were prepared for whatever would come next.
Lilly's neurologist, Jennifer Friedman at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, is among the comparatively few doctors in the country with deep experience in medical genomics. And she doesn't pull punches with parents.
"The biggest misconception is that sequencing is the end of the story," Friedman said. "Sometimes it will give you a crystal-clear answer, but other times it is just the beginning. It gives you direction. It's kind of a fuzzy crystal ball that points to the future."
She made sure the Grossmans understood the situation — and that interpretation takes time.
It also takes money. While the expense of sequencing a complete genome is roughly $4,000, interpreting it can cost $40,000 to $50,000. And the interpretation is only as good as the person reading it.
The Grossmans lucked out on that point. Topol had hired Torkamani, the whiz kid from UC San Diego, as the translational institute's director of drug discovery. Torkamani uploaded the data, which appears as seemingly endless columns of letters representing a person's genetic makeup.
The computer highlights suspicious genes. But in the end, bioinformaticists like Torkamani must probe deeper to identify the real culprit — if a culprit is to be found at all.
Some genes are well-known. Most are not. When Torkamani identified the gene that seems to cause Lilly's strength and balance problems, he was partly going on the results of a single mouse study conducted a couple of blocks away at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. And he fingered the gene tied to Lilly's tremors partly on the basis of a mouse study done in Japan.
"I was confident I had the right genes," Torkamani said.
Friedman conveyed the news to the Grossmans, and soon Lilly was taking a different drug to treat her tremors. Something unexpected and extraordinary happened: For the first time in 13 years, Lilly slept without major interruptions for 18 nights in a row.
The medication is no longer as effective as it was in the beginning. But the Grossmans are grateful for all that has happened.
"Lilly is not 'fixed,'" Gay Grossman said. "She still cries when she has these tremors, but the tremors don't come as often. We've learned that she doesn't have a progressive disease that will kill her. And we know that there are people just around the corner who are studying her."
Lilly is just as thankful. From her home, which overlooks the construction site of a large new genetic research center, she tapped out an email that said: "I am hopeful that advances in genetics and medicine will someday lead to better treatments for my weak muscles. At the same time, however, I am prepared for that 'someday' to take a while to come."

RAYMOND WEIL launches a new advertising campaign
RAYMOND WEIL is pleased to announce the launch of the Brand's new advertising campaign for 2011 – 2012. The new campaign will keep with the Brand's dynamic and innovative spirit and will also revolve around what RAYMOND WEIL draws constant inspiration from: music. Music has always been at the center of the RAYMOND WEIL universe, with the musical connotations of its collection names, its partnerships with the greatest musical competitions and with a family of music-lovers and musicians at the head of the company.
The new layout is a complete deviation from former campaigns and incorporates lifestyle with product photography. Set on the stage of Geneva's legendary concert hall, the "Victoria Hall", the photo shoot for the campaign captures the essence of the Brand's inspiration through individual male and female depictions of timelessness and classicism against a rich musical-inspired backdrop. The force that they radiate shows reverence to the master watchmaker who, like a musician, rehearses his scales and his chords to achieve perfect harmony. They are masters of their art, just like RAYMOND WEIL with its timepieces – classical, symbolic and timeless.
Celebrating the anniversary of their 35th year, a campaign that pays homage to the Brand's motivation and constant driving force, music, was an ideal choice. "Precision is my inspiration" is the new slogan for the campaign, bridging the comparison of both music and luxury watch making: the inspiration of the designer, the inspiration of the composer and the precision of the watchmaker.
"Along with International efforts to support individual spirits and future talent for generations to come, this campaign allows my family to express their true love, appreciation and respect for the arts. Watchmaking being one of them," says Olivier Bernheim, President and CEO of RAYMOND WEIL.
In the fall of 2011, the Swiss watchmaker will be releasing worldwide, two powerful visuals, depicting an enigmatic and mysterious woman and man in the majestic musical universe that is the Victoria Hall in Geneva.
For Greater China, Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun, RAYMOND WEIL Chinese Brand Ambassadors, will incarnate these enigmatic and mysterious woman and man on a backdrop of gold ornamental detail and crimson velvet curtains. They each face a cello in a reflective scene that exudes a musical feeling full of historical atmosphere, one that inspires dreams.
Mr. Jiang, a world-famous actor, director and playwright, earned his well-deserved reputation with In the Heat of the Sun, a film he both adapted and directed. In 2011, for Let the Bullets Fly, he was honoured as 'Best Actor in Mainland', 'Best Director' and 'Best Film' in the Global Chinese Top List and 15th Asian Influential Ceremony.
Ms. Zhou won the honour of 'Best Actress in Mainland' in the Global Chinese Top List and 15th Asian Influential Ceremony with her extraordinary performance in Let the Bullet Fly. In Golden Wedding, her impressive performance won her 'Best Actress' in the 1st Asia Rainbow Awards.
In 2012, other productions will complete the saga of this surprising and melodious campaign to the great pleasure of the lovers of timekeepers and musical tempo.

Playing Spot The Difference With WLM Service Definitions
MartinPacker 11000094DH Visits (11627)
A customer asked me to examine two WLM service definition snapshots taken on adjacent days - and discern any differences. This is not a challenge I've been set before - and so I expect it's pretty rare. But, thinking about it, I reckon it could be quite useful. So they sent me two service definitions, one day apart, and one from months later. When I say "a service... [More]

Each year, Career Services conducts the Graduate Follow-Up Survey to determine the status of our graduates regarding employment, graduate study, or other endeavors. The data for the Class of 2010 (December 2009, May 2010 and August 2010 graduates) has been compiled and is available on our website at: http://www.uwgb.edu/careers/connections/graduate-follow-up-survey.asp On this page you will be able to view an overview of the survey results, as well as reports by major. With a 70% response rate for the survey, the Class of 2010 had a 96.4% placement rate. "Placement rate" is the percent of alumni who reported working, attending graduate/professional school, or are active in the military.
With 2.8% of respondents reporting that they were still seeking employment, the Class of 2010 graduates fared better than the overall national and local averages (unemployment rates ranged from 6.0% to 9.7% between May 2010 and May 2011). However, some challenges these alumni faced included finding positions related to their major/desired career field and that it took more time to find a job. Some noted they accepted positions that were not directly related to major due to their geographic preferences (desired location), lack of available positions, or the salary and/or benefits by their employer.
The Marketing & Communication Office of UW-Green Bay provided a great summary of the statistics, available for viewing at http://blog.uwgb.edu/inside/index.php/log-news/news/06/30/survey-graduates/

At Winter Meetings, Cubs aim to fill roster gaps
CHICAGO -- There is no fast forward button for Theo Epstein's plans for the Cubs.
As much as Epstein, president of baseball operations, and fans want to see top prospects like Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Arismendy Alcantara, C.J. Edwards and Jorge Soler in the Cubs' 2014 Opening Day lineup on March 31, that won't happen.
CHICAGO -- There is no fast forward button for Theo Epstein's plans for the Cubs.
As much as Epstein, president of baseball operations, and fans want to see top prospects like Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Arismendy Alcantara, C.J. Edwards and Jorge Soler in the Cubs' 2014 Opening Day lineup on March 31, that won't happen.
And that brings us to the Winter Meetings, which get underway Monday at Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Baseball's annual gathering will give Epstein and Co. a chance to possibly fill some of the gaps on the roster.
Next week, you'll hear Jeff Samardzija's name a lot. The right-hander has been the subject of trade rumors since July with teams such as the D-backs, Nationals and Blue Jays coveting the hard-throwing starter who is coming off his first 200-innings, 200-strikeout season.
Samardzija, 28, and the Cubs have talked about a long-term contract, but the pitcher, who will be a free agent after the 2015 season, is apparently gambling that it's better to wait. Look at pitchers such as Phil Hughes, 27, who got a three-year, $24 million deal from the Twins, and you'll understand why.
The Cubs do want to add pitching, and Epstein said the emphasis is on "quality" arms. The Cubs have traded 40 percent of their rotation the last two seasons but Epstein said they are not looking for free agents whom they can sign and then flip at the Trade Deadline.
"Every starting pitcher we acquire is someone we hope is starting Game 1 of the World Series for us," Epstein said.
Epstein didn't specify when that would be.
If Samardzija stays with the Cubs, he'll join Edwin Jackson, Travis Wood and Jake Arrieta in the rotation. The Cubs did plan to talk to Scott Baker, but he also was exploring other options.
The Cubs also are in the market for a closer. After Carlos Marmol struggled and was then traded, and Kyuji Fujikawa was injured, Kevin Gregg stepped in and totaled 30 saves for the third time in his career. Gregg, 35, is now a free agent and shopping around.
"We have guys who could close," Epstein said, "but I think that's an opportunity for us. If you go to market with the closer's role ready to bestow on somebody, that can help you sign a pretty good pitcher and can help your club. ... We're going to hit the market with a full closing opportunity to offer to the right pitcher we acquire, either through free agency or a trade, and know we have some interesting options in house."
One possibility is right-hander Hector Rondon, who was acquired last year in the Rule 5 Draft. The Cubs have selected pitchers in each of the last two years -- Lendy Castillo was the 2012 selection -- and could add someone again during the Draft on Dec. 12, which closes the Winter Meetings.
There are other needs, which may become clearer once Epstein and Co. spend more time with new manager Rick Renteria to see if there's anything specific he wants on the roster. Renteria, who underwent hip surgery after the regular season ended, was expected in Chicago late this week for his first visit since being named manager Nov. 6.
Last year, the Cubs got a head start by signing free-agent pitchers Baker and Scott Feldman, catchers Dioner Navarro and J.C. Boscan, and outfielder Brian Bogusevic before the Meetings got underway. Of that group, only Bogusevic is expected back for 2014. Feldman was dealt at last year's non-waiver Trade Deadline, Baker spent the season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and is a free agent, Navarro recently signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Blue Jays, and Boscan signed with the Dodgers.
So far this offseason, the Cubs have signed outfielder Ryan Sweeney to a two-year, $3.5 million contract, and traded for backup catcher George Kottaras. They've also signed some players to Minor League contracts, including outfielders Aaron Cunningham and Casper Wells, infielders Walter Ibarra and Chris Valaika, catcher Eli Whiteside, and pitchers Paolo Espino and Carlos Pimentel.
No offense to any of them, but those aren't the players Cubs fans are giddy over. Bryant teased by winning MVP honors in the Arizona Fall League, but he'll open in the Minor Leagues in 2014. The Cubs will be looking at Mike Olt and Luis Valbuena at third base. Epstein has been clear about what the young players in the system need to do to advance.
"One thing we tell our players, and I tell them this directly, and [general manager] Jed [Hoyer] tells them this directly at the player development program is, 'You want to move up? ... Dominate your competition,'" Epstein said. "It comes down ultimately to performance."
Unfortunately for the Cubs, the baseball season won't wait for their top prospects to develop.
During a presentation to season-ticket holders in early November, the top prospects were introduced via video and Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary was emphasized. The renovation plans for the ballpark were delayed while the Cubs try to reach an agreement with rooftop owners. That means no video scoreboard, which would have generated more revenue.
Epstein has a tight budget.
"Our business plan and our facilities plan and our baseball plan are all a couple years away from reaching fruition," Epstein said. "We're going to be as aggressive as we can given our situation. We clearly need to get better but we're not going to do anything at the expense of an increasingly exciting future."
The Cubs, who have lost 197 games over the last two seasons, are in the market for some good deals.

Waking up on a Hawaiian Island is pretty much the radliest, so I was happy to do it; happier still to begin my first full day on Maui. My brain was brimming with ideas for fun and adventurous activities I could postpone in lieu of doing nothing, but for this I first needed calories I wouldn't burn.
They don't make better calories than in Hawaii. It's all about salty, sweet, and fat, with a side of the freshest, juiciest fruit you've ever had. Talk about mixed messages: Here you go, tummy, a meal of simple, raw, nutrient-rich papaya and pineapple. Oh, and also here's some SPAM fried in noodles with sugar gravy, mayonnaise pork and buttery, buttered butter in butter sauce with butter butter salt butter salted sugar butter. Side of butter. (Salt.)
The boyfriend and I decided to put on some clothing (after repeated, negative breakfast experiences without it) and made our way to the buffet at our hotel. We found a table overlooking the Pacific. Between us and it was a walking trek that many people were using for jogging. How… insensitive. Didn't they know I was trying to punch as many macadamia nut pancakes down my gullet as possible? And their obnoxious exercise routine was bumming my trip, man – reminding me I was a gross slob with nary a single definable "ab". But this coconut syrup isn't going to drink itself, people!
As the boyfriend went out in search of an iced soy latte (you can take the Angelino out of LA, but you can't LA out of an Angelino), I drank my drip and marveled at the simple beauty of the double-rainbow that stretched from the middle of the turquoise water to the clouds above Kauai. How perfect… how poetic…

What's new - Mar 2003
|A new article goes up today, concerning the history of the Borg.
I know we've been a little light on updates lately. We're getting ready tocreate a database for all the ships on the site, which will help us to spotproblems much more easily and will mean that when a ship entry is added orupdated, every single affected page will be updated simultaneously. This shouldhopefully mean that the site will become a lot more interally consistent andwill make updates more frequent and comprehensive. In the meantime, we'redoing what we can to keep at least a trickle of new stuff coming out.
Also, thanks for those who wrote in with suggestions for ways to modify thestrength system to fix the glitches I mentioned on the 9th of this month.There have been some interesting ideas there, at least one of which may wellbe workable...
|Matters In Real Life...
|On what I described as "a sad day" a couple of couple of yearsago, I forecast that Britain would stand beside America in its hour of need.Now these two allies are engaged in a long overdue battle to liberate thepeople of Iraq from the dictator who has slaughtered them so callously forso long, and in the process to make the world a safer place for us all.
To the brave troops waging that war we at the DITL sends its best wishesand support. Here's hoping that the fighting is short, the casualties areminimal and the victory complete.
|Size Comparison
|The Suliban Cell ship has been added. for the moment this is on the shuttles section because of its small size. I may reconsider this when I do a full entry on the ship, because although it is indeed shuttle sized it is seems capable of operating as a proper independant ship.
|Thanks to Commodore Rappaport a couple of typos in the series guide are fixed.
|Cador Davis pointed out another addition to the "Little Bangs"dead shuttles list, from TNG "Timescape". I have also brought thecast list up to date through to "Canamar".
|Series Guides
|I've added "Canamar" to the Enterprise episode guide.
|Kari points out that a date was wrong on the Endgame images page, so this is fixed. Adam Broughton has prompted me to slightly re-word the episode guide nit for "Elaan of Troyius".
It's been pointed out be a few people - most recently John Healy - that the strengths index numbering system doesn't work too well in some respects. Long time visitors will know that I re-wrote the system a while back to try and make it work better. At the time I knew that the new system was less than perfect, but the flaws were pretty minor. Recent developments in Trek are making them more obvious.
The problem is agility. Shuttles and other small craft have agilities in the high tens of thousands or more. Unfortunately, this usually gives them an overall strength of at least 20 to 40 or so. My personal preference is for shuttle strengths more like 2 - 4. I could do this by simply weighting the agility factor so low that it let shuttle strengths be in that region, but unfortunately if you do this then the agility numbers of the bigger ships have absolutely no effect on their strength. Even the system currently in place makes agility a very poor factor - you have to increase the agility of a Galaxy class more than sevenfold to bump its overall strength by a mere 10 points. Weighting agility significantly less than this would imply that agility is an irrelevance to Starship designers.
It used to be no big deal, because mostly it was just shuttles had such low strengths. But with the advent of Enterprise we are getting a whole raft of ship types which need to be vastly weaker than the TOS ships - right about the strength of a shuttle. So we are left with the NX class rated at 40, while its own shuttle is rated at 30 despite the fact that the shuttle has zero or close to it in every factor but agility.
I'm thinking about possible solutions to this, and have one or two ideas in mind. But it may be a while before anything gets done, because it may mean tweaking the strength numbers to some or all of the ships and that's a big job.
|Size Comparison
|Janeway's shuttle from endgame has been added, picture courtesy of ColleenJean.
|A bug in the Sh'Ran page has been fixed, thanks to Kyle aka CommodoreToroca.
|Series Guides
|I've added "Future Tense" to the Enterprise episode guide. Quitea good episode by Enterprise standards...
Thanks to "Some body" - yes, that's actually what he called himself- I've added a quote to the DS9 episode "Defiant".
|Chris points out a small typo on the Foods list - the word "for"was mis-spelled.

With Temple Run 2 whipping endless runner fans into a inevitably doomed frenzy, FDG Entertainment gets ready to release Banana Kong, game that's just a Nintendo licence away from being a Donkey Kong Country spin-off.
FDG and developer Gamaga call Banana Kong a cross between Donkey Kong Country and Sonic the Hedgehog. While that second one is a bit of a stretch, the similarities between Nintendo's main monkey adventure and this game are rather extensive. You've got the gorilla, banana collecting, the jungle theme and so on. And just when the game starts to diverge from its inspiration, BAM — you're riding a boar.
This is what happens, Nintendo! You don't make mobile games, other game companies are going to make them for you.
Banana Kong hits iTunes on Thursday for 99c.

"In sprightly, engaging prose and with a sure, steady scholarly hand, Rick Beeman has given us a vivid account of the most vital chapter of our early history: the making of the Constitution. This is a terrific book."—Jon Meacham, author of American Lion
"Beeman eschews the heroic version of the story in favor of a hard-eyed narrative that in no way diminishes the Framers' achievement. . . . In a motion-by-motion, day-by-day, debate-by-debate fashion, he re-creates the [delegates'] hard bargaining. . . . Masterfully told American history for the scholar and general reader alike."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"While some have boasted it as a work from Heaven, others have given it a less righteous origin. I have many reasons to believe that it is the work of plain, honest men."—Gouverneur Morris
"Authoritative and readable . . . Beeman's work is distiguished by a gently judicious tone that allows us to appreciate, and draw some lessons from, the delicate balances that emerged out of that passion-filled Philadelphia crucible." —Walter Isaacson, The New York Times Book Review
"The fullest and most authoritative account of the Constitutional Convention ever written." – Gordon S. Wood, author of The Radicalism of the American Revolution
"Engrossing . . . This minute-by-minute account introduces us to a world, and time, where everything was at stake."—Chicago Tribune, editor's choice
"A stunning achievement . . . easily the best and most comprehensive treatment of its subject ever written."—Weekly Standard

Does anyone have any idea how long these will be shipping? They haven't shown up at any of the Wal-marts around here, and I'm wondering if I should start getting concerned or not. I figured I had time, but I didn't know if it was a "miss 'em and they're gone" type of exclusive. I'm hoping they are still on the way, otherwise I'll have to look for help/online. Has everyone here already found these, or are they still in the pike?
I saw these once when I got my set. I wish I would of gotten an opener set now. Oh well hindsight isnt always 20/20

Casey Anthony Refuses To See Brother
Search Warrant Served At Anthony Home
Lee Anthony arrived at the Orange County Jail on Friday to visit his sister, but Casey Anthony refused to see him.
A jail representative said Casey Anthony was aware of the meeting, and it was her decision not to see him.
Before the canceled visit, Lee Anthony told reporters he would stand by his sister. He also said he couldn't comment on inconsistencies between a search warrant executed at the family's home on Thursday and Casey Anthony's story about Caylee's disappearance.
"Tomorrow is Caylee's birthday. I wanted to speak with Casey and see how she's doing," he said.
When he left the jail, he had no comment, but before going in, Lee Anthony talked about the investigation.
"All this boils down to is she did not report her missing for 31 days. If she had, she wouldn't be facing that charge right now," he said. He went on to say that he believes the real Zenaida Gonzalez is still out there. He said he too will follow the evidence wherever it goes.
Lee Anthony also said he has no idea of the whereabouts of Caylee and that he is confident investigators are pursuing all leads in the case.
He claimed to have been doing his own investigation into the disappearance of his niece, Caylee, from the very beginning.
"There are phone call records from that day which are extremely interesting, he said.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office agrees. In a search warrant released on Thursday, it said, "the private phone call where (Casey) claims to have spoken with Caylee, there was no incoming phone call at that time."
Throughout the investigation, the sheriff's office has said Casey Anthony has been less than truthful.
Lee Anthony said his sister is not sinister. He said her charges point that out.
The warrant also said, "(Casey) gave the family information on how to get in touch with several people."
These are people law enforcement has not found -- and they question if they exist.
"I have on multiple occasions been told by many people that those people exist," Lee Anthony said. "Frankly, I wouldn't still be here if I didn't think she was cooperating with me, and that's the point of all this."
Earlier this week, Cindy Anthony chose not to show up for her visit to Casey, saying that she didn't want their recorded phone calls to be released to the public because it could mean Caylee would be hurt.

House and Senate conferees agreed to a final conference report on the Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill (H.R. 4348) Wednesday night, which will extend highway programs at current funding levels for 28 months, through September 2014.
The surface transportation reauthorization conference report is being combined into a package with the National Flood Insurance Program reauthorization and legislation on student loans. The Senate is expected to vote on the package on Thursday and the House vote occurring on Friday.
The transportation reauthorization agreement includes provisions that the American Soybean Association (ASA) strongly supported, including the exemption of farm trucks from hours-of-service rules as well as other regulations regarding drug testing and requirements for commercial licenses. The exemption applies to all farm vehicles under 26,000 pounds that are hauling commodities, livestock and equipment and are operated by a farmer, rancher or their employee. Heavier trucks would also be exempt if they are within 150 miles of the farm or ranch.
Another provision that was strongly supported by ASA, The Realize America's Maritime Promise (RAMP) Act, was included, but was amended to be a "Sense of Congress" with no enforcement mechanism in the conference agreement. The agreement does include a requirement for Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to prepare a needs assessment for port improvements and submit the report to Congress along with commentary about how the president's annual budget addresses those needs.
The final package does not include controversial provisions such as the Keystone XL pipeline approval, regulations for coal ash, or the $1.4 billion expansion of the Land and Water Conservation fund, which were each included in either the House or Senate version and were sticking points in the negotiations.

LATHROP - Two boys tossed a football back and forth while other children ran and played in the streets Friday in a tranquil Lathrop community where crime rarely occurs.
LATHROP - Two boys tossed a football back and forth while other children ran and played in the streets Friday in a tranquil Lathrop community where crime rarely occurs.
Children's laughter could be heard over the distant sound of lawn mowers in a neighborhood lined with large two-story homes and well-kept yards. A set of tire tracks across the grassy lawns of two homes were the only remnants of a homicide scene that kept residents awake Thursday while the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office stayed overnight investigating Lathrop's first homicide of 2013.
"This is a quiet neighborhood," said Onofre Cabero, 64. "Everybody knows everybody, and we all like it here."
The silence was broken about 10 p.m. Thursday when gunshots rang out, possibly on Sedona Lane, and a small blue car drove into the front yard of a home around the corner in the 100 block of Reiger Drive, witnesses said. The driver, suffering from at least one gunshot wound, exited the vehicle and went to the front door to ask for help. A passenger in the front seat, also suffering from at least one gunshot wound, appeared to be dead, neighbors said.
Lathrop Police Services deputies and other emergency responders converged on the scene. The passenger, identified as 19-year-old Dashawn Lamont Johns, was flown to a hospital in Modesto, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
The driver, identified only as a 23-year-old black man, was in the intensive care unit at a hospital Friday, his condition unknown, deputies said. While being transported to the hospital, he told deputies he and Johns were being chased by a black van when the shooting occurred, authorities said.
Neighbors on Sedona Lane heard four to six gunshots, but Marcela Blanco, 17, a resident of Reiger Drive, said she heard only the last shot fired. Blanco said she was stunned when she learned two people had been shot.
"We were really surprised because, like one of the officers told us, you hardly ever hear about anything like this happening in our area," Blanco said. "No robberies, no gunshots or anything like that. This is unusual for us."
Detectives from the Sheriff's Office responded to take over the investigation. They have yet to establish a motive for the shooting, and no arrests have been made, authorities said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at (209) 468-4400. Cellphone users can text a tip to CRIMES (274637) by entering the keyword "SJSO" followed by their tip.

So who do you like this weekend? More importantly, who is gonna tie?
OK, probably nobody. The St. Louis Rams and New York Jets might be able to make it happen. Shoot, with two backup quarterbacks potentially starting against two disruptive defenses in San Francisco, Candlestick could host its second tie in as many weeks.
At any rate, the 24-24 deadlock between the 49ers and Rams in Week 10 provided some drama without any payoff, and guaranteed the picks record in italics below will look weird for the rest of the season. It also showed that the Niners are vulnerable -- even when it comes to their secondary, which had been considered as formidable as any back four in the league. The tie also reflected the strides the Rams have made in their first year under Jeff Fisher.
I like St. Louis this week. And for all the Atlanta Falcons fans out there, there will be no letdown.
So let's get to it ...
Elliot Harrison went 8-5-1 on his predictions for Week 10, giving him a 66-31-1 record since taking over this space in Week 4. How will he fare in Week 11? His picks are below, with home teams listed second:
What better way for the Arizona Cardinals to end their five-game losing streak than to take down the 8-1 Atlanta Falcons? The Cardinals have struggled offensively, particularly in the running game. That's probably an understatement, considering that Ken Whisenhunt's offense is dead last in the league in rushing yards with just 76.2 per game. Unfortunately, running the ball is precisely what the underdogs need to do to slow down Atlanta's track-meet-style offense. As long as the Falcons can protect Matt Ryan and block Daryl Washington, they win. #AZvsATL
The Cam Newton frowny face presses on. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will run the football to set up the vertical passing game for Josh Freeman; that's where opportunities to win will lie for the Bucs. Opposing quarterbacks have compiled a 108.3 passer rating against the Carolina Panthers when throwing the ball downfield 20 yards or more. Freeman has completed 17 passes of that distance for a league-high 700 yards. On the flip side, the Bucs' secondary has struggled, but Newton's accuracy issues and poor pass protection will keep him from capitalizing. Newton's completion percentage (57.2) ranks 29th in the NFL, and he hasn't made the kinds of big plays (like Freeman has) that can offset that low mark. Not to mention the fact that Carolina has been turning the ball over. #TBvsCAR
The Dallas Cowboys get a late field goal to extend their lead, giving Brandon Weeden too much ground to make up to win the game. On that note, the Cleveland Browns are better equipped to get back into games with the explosive Josh Gordon and improving Greg Little. How will these two fare versus Cowboys cornerbacks Brandon Carr and the (recently) struggling Morris Claiborne? With Jay Ratliff back manning the nose, rushing yards might be difficult to come by for Trent Richardson, although I'd expect him to have decent production (80 yards). The problem for the Browns will be stopping the Cowboys' offense, which has been more effective of late. Over their last two games, Tony Romo has completed 70 percent of his passes and posted passer ratings of 109.3 and 122.1. #CLEvsDAL
The Green Bay Packers are the class of the NFC North right now, with Jason Campbell starting for the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions playing so inconsistently. The Lions' woes can partly be blamed on the ground game -- or lack thereof -- and its effect on the offense as a whole. The Lions re-morphed into their old selves last weekend in Minnesota, rushing 17 times for 60 yards. In fact, Calvin Johnson's 207 receiving yards accounted for well over half of Detroit's offensive production last Sunday. While the Packers throw their fair share of passes, they spread the ball around. Aaron Rodgers consistently gets the ball to James Jones, Randall Cobb and whoever else is open. Did I mention that Jordy Nelson could be back in the fold this Sunday? One more guy the Lions can't cover. #GBvsDET
The Houston Texans pull away in the second half, with Arian Foster leading the charge. While No. 23 has been exceptional, as per usual, he hasn't popped a long run in weeks. His last gallop of more than 21 yards came way back on Oct. 8 versus the Jets (46 yards.) He is due. This is the week. The Texans shouldn't need Matt Schaub to throw a ton. Anticipate a 17-for-23 day with two touchdowns and no picks. With the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense being as dysfunctional as it has been -- see: Blaine Gabbert's struggles (and injury) -- there's no reason for Gary Kubiak's offense to take unnecessary risks. #JACvsHOU
The Kansas City Chiefs' late rally is not enough, as Andy Dalton shows that Week 10's boffo performance was no joke. He'll have to. The Cincinnati Bengals have not been as effective as they need to be when running the rock. BenJarvus Green-Ellis' 3.4 yards per carry have been underwhelming. Cedric Peerman has had some nice runs, but he just isn't getting many opportunities. Can K.C.'s Matt Cassel- Dwayne Bowe connection ever get going early in games, when it actually matters? When was the last time Bowe reached the end zone? Jeff Francoeur has homered more recently. No joke. #CINvsKC
This feels like a Ryan-Sanchize-Fireman Guy rebound game. Except it's not. In fact, there won't be any fireman helmets in the stands, because this game is in St. Louis, where the Rams' defense has played relatively well. The Rams are giving up 18.5 points per game in the Edward Jones Dome, but they've yet to play an offense that is in as much disarray as the New York Jets' unit. Well, they did play the Cardinals. That 31st-ranked offense is actually worse than New York's bunch, which cracks the top 30 ... at 30th. But Rex Ryan's club makes up for its offensive ineptitude by playing some of the worst run defense in the league. I'm sure Jeff Fisher won't try to exploit that at all. #NYJvsSTL
Nick Foles gives it his best shot. Andy Reid does his best to take LeSean McCoy out of the game right after he rips off a 25-yard run. Did you know McCoy had four carries on the Philadelphia Eagles' opening touchdown drive versus Dallas? Reid gave him 12 the rest of the game. You know Reid's eyes are getting huge at the prospect of facing a Washington Redskins secondary that hemorrhages yards and has rubber-stamped 20 touchdowns (tied for most in the league). Hopefully Reid will tap the brakes, realize he's got a third-round draft pick out there under center, and put the ball in McCoy's belly. #Run25 #PHIvsWAS
Marcel Reece reprises his role as a leading cog in the Oakland Raiders' offense. The tight-end-slash-H-back-slash-fullback was a rare bright spot in last Sunday's five-touchdown loss to the Baltimore Ravens, piling up 104 total yards on 20 touches. There's no question the New Orleans Saints will have some trouble covering him with their linebackers, but Reece and receiver Denarius Moore just do not give the Raiders enough to win this game. Confidence has to be at a low for a team that just had 55 dropped in its lap. Drew Brees is the last quarterback you want to see the week after giving up that many points. By the way, without too many people noticing, Marques Colston is having a very nice season. #NOvsOAK
This AFC West bout is all about the quarterbacks. On one side is Philip Rivers, a player who is being questioned from every corner about his decision-making ability and a noticeable regression. On the other is Peyton Manning, who has also "regressed" ... back to MVP form. San Diego should give the Broncos a game, but Denver's pass rush will present a problem for Rivers. The Broncos' front seven got to Cam Newton seven times last week. The Chargers already have allowed 22 sacks, and they aren't utilizing Ryan Mathews enough to make pass rushers slow their roll. #SDvsDEN
Andrew Luck will make this one exciting for a while, but the New England Patriots pull away in the fourth quarter on the strength of their up-tempo offense and Stevan Ridley. Other than a dumb false-start penalty last Sunday, Ridley has been playing lights-out for Bill Belichick. Do you realize he's fifth in the NFL in rushing with 814 yards, and easily leads all running backs in first downs (54)? Over 30 percent of his carries net his team a new set of downs. Luck will play well -- no one on the Pats can cover Reggie Wayne -- but the Indianapolis Colts' 22nd-ranked run defense will have its hands full with No. 22. #Ridley'sbelieveitornot OK, that was bad. #INDvsNE
You're going to hear about "the best rivalry in football" so much this weekend that you'll want to puke. You'll hear about it more than you were inundated with
"Jerome Bettis is from Detroit!" during the week of
Super Bowl XL. ... More than you hear
" 'Tango & Cash' was on Spike last night!" ... More than you hear
"You know, Tom Brady was a sixth-round draft pick."
Well, it's tough to win when the Baltimore Ravens are coming to town and former first-round draft pick Byron Leftwich is your quarterback. Baltimore's defense has struggled at times, but how much can the Pittsburgh Steelers threaten with Leftwich, a running back-by-committee and a banged-up Antonio Brown? Am I seeing this wrong? Feel free to feed back at @Harrison_NFL. #BALvsPIT
Given the uncertainty at quarterback for both clubs, the outcome of this game is extremely difficult to divine. If Jason Campbell starts, how much hope do the Chicago Bears have? They're not getting enough from the running game to overcome a quarterback who's known more for "check-downs" than "first downs." Colin Kaepernick is an unproven commodity for the San Francisco 49ers, not a proven mediocre quarterback like Campbell. But how will he fare versus Chicago's swarming defense? Well, this nod is for the defense playing on its own field. Also, consider that Niners head coach Jim Harbaugh probably won't let Kaepernick (or Alex Smith) throw the ball enough to let the Bears create the turnovers they thrive on. #CHIvsSF
Ryan Tannehill hasn't been throwing interceptions all season. That's awesome for a rookie quarterback. Too bad he hasn't been throwing touchdown passes, either. He has five on the year. Tannehill suddenly became turnover-prone against the Tennessee Titans, though, giving up three picks. Thursday night on NFL Network, he faces a Buffalo Bills defense that has allowed opposing passers to post a 96.8 passer rating and score 18 touchdowns to just six interceptions. While I foresee C.J. Spiller putting up 120 yards from scrimmage, I trust the Miami Dolphins' defense to get back on track in Buffalo -- and Reggie Bush to hold on to the football. #MIAvsBUF

Four of the jurors in the George Zimmerman trial issued a statement late Tuesday saying that juror B-37, the first to speak out in the media, does not speak for them.
"We, the undersigned jurors, understand there is a great deal of interest in this case. But we ask you to remember that we are not public officials and we did not invite this type of attention into our lives. We also wish to point out that the opinions of Juror B-37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show were her own, and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below," the four jurors wrote.
The statement was released about an hour after B-37 gave the second part of a two-part interview to CNN's Anderson Cooper explaining how the jury reached a verdict in the murder case and sharing her thoughts on the case. The first segment aired Monday.
The four jurors also appealed for privacy.
"Serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us. The death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end we did what the law required us to do," they wrote in the statement, released by a court spokeswoman.
The sixth juror, whose jury number did not appear in the list of those who signed the document, was the only minority on the panel. She is described as black or Hispanic and married with children. She lived in Chicago when the shooting happened.
Zimmerman, 29, shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin dead on Feb. 26, 2012 in Zimmerman's gated community in Sanford. The jury on Saturday found him not guilty of second-degree murder.
