Looks like Microsoft is desperate to sell them at a cheap price lol jk
I guarantee the pilots aren't for this move. It's an option to use a tablet w/ an OS that is hated more than Vista, which I never thought could happen, and isn't even out yet so who knows what to expect over a trusted tablet that has already proven itself worthy time and time again.
Good to see that Delta are trying something different rather than just follow everyone else. Its a company supplied machine, they don't need users to have a say in what is provided free to them
Microsoft definitely gave them a deal! It's kind of sad to see them stoop to this level to get a product pushed out. I bet the pilots are not happy about it, I'm sure most will bring their own iDevice.
The pilots were probably having too much fun with their iPads, so Delta decided to punish them with Win 8 lol
As a commercial pilot, it doesn't surprise me a bit.
Yet another reason not to fly Delta. Soon from now we will hear the story of the recovered black box, "Oh crap the tablet blue screened, I don't know what way we are going! Oh no! I think we losing altitude. sst%#(he's hew^()ewrer $%#34 !" .....
You know the crappy things will BSoD while shooting an approach to minimums. "&$^>£!!# what was the minimum descent altitude again?" "I dunno captain the ()&!!#|! Tablet failed again!" "Well what's the missed approach procedure??"
Yikes! Wonder how long until the first Airplane crash due to the first WindowsRT crash!
Probably suggested by their IT dept, that's how IT retains their job. PC ITs actually prefer Mac at home, don't have to mess with the headache but need the job.
The surface 2 is in a completely different category than the iPad. 8gb of ram, 512gb hard drive, not locked down, etc.
It baffles me that people still think the way they do. Remember, competition is what makes the competitors step up their game. Without competition your sheep following the Sheppard. The great innovators are gone from Apple as thus we keep getting the same iPad over and over again. But I get it, people always think the item they possess is the best and belittle everything they can't afford. Check out the Honda forums. We all know Honda is not the best car on the road, but for the people that can only afford Hondas they are the best in the world. When I hear people trash the Surface Pro, I think a. they can only afford the iPad they currently own, or b. they are waiting for the next device to become very popular to jump on the band wagon.
So keep laughing at the Surface Pro, you will be the one missing out.
The only problem I see regarding this: Windows RT has almost no true third party support and is not really compatible with standard Win8. That alone makes it no better than a standard embedded platform, which can become more expensive to maintain.
To whoever said the device isn't 'locked down' like iPads: RT doesn't allow for program to be installed without it being certified for use (so someone has to basically pay MS for an enterprise certification to install programs on RT devices; not much different than the iOS ecosystem). That pretty much means it is still locked down in regards to software/OS. I wonder if Microsoft also paid for the specific program software Delta requires, otherwise that is a good amount of added overhead (compared to the iOS/standard Windows ecosystem and the established software available for those platforms).
IMHO, Delta probably should have stuck with a better known system used pretty much anywhere (be it iOS or standard Intel-based Windows), just due to the cheaper costs to implement and maintain for multiple years. But money does talk...
One of the supposed factors in this decision is the fact that Microsoft is a huge Delta customer....

MORE than 200 jobs will be created with the opening of a new supermarket in Hook, Sainsbury's claim.
The supermarket giant has revealed it is the company that has an option on land at the corner of the A30 and the B3349.
Land for "convenience retailing" was included in the Hart District Council draft Local Plan for development up to 2029.
The supermarket company wants to build a 30,000 sq ft store, which would be double the size of the Tesco supermarket in Station Road.
Andrew Pepler, Sainsbury's regional town planning manager, said the plan would create 200 full-time and part-time jobs and help keep people shopping locally. The firm claims that one third of shoppers in Hook still drive to stores in Kempshott, Basingstoke and to Fleet to buy food, and that the Hook Tesco store is trading above average levels.
Mr Pepler said: "We are very excited about our proposals for a new foodstore. Our proposals would improve main food shopping choice for people living in Hook and the surrounding villages."
The firm has sent out a four-page brochure to more than 10,000 homes in Hook, to learn people's views before an application is submitted.
The plan includes creating two entrances to the store – one from Griffin Way North, for customers, and the other from London Road, for service vehicles.
Current proposals include an in-store bakery and restaurant, a hot pizza counter and a car park with 320 spaces.
Last month, The Gazette reported that Hart believes the supermarket could be built in the next four years, if approved.
Representatives from Sainsbury's will be at a public exhibition of plans to build 500 homes in North East Hook.
This will take place between 2pm and 7pm today and 10am and 3pm on Saturday, at Hook Community Centre, in Ravenscroft.

The company is implementing new restrictions around the sale of regulated items following pressure from gun-control advocates.
They might come for your plastic gun, but they're not coming for your 3D printer just yet.

But cord may keep you from getting too trigger-happy over it
Legislators vote to renew an expiring ban on plastic firearms that are able to slip past metal detectors and X-ray machines.
Following the tragedy in Newtown, a group of entrepreneurs led by Ron Conway resolved to use technology to help stem gun violence. Their debut effort is an incentive challenge to create smarter, safer firearms.
The gun debate expands to include plastic firearms that can be printed at home, with lawmakers expressing concerns about new technology.
Both New York City and New York State introduce legislation to either curb the making of 3D-printed firearms or ban their use altogether.

Oilers at Panthers, G30, 09-10
The Oilers play the Panthers tonight in Miami. It is Miami, right? I don't have too many reference points with regard to the Panthers. I remember that miracle run and when the fans threw rats on the ice, and I think the Oilers gave up Scott Mellanby in the expansion draft.
I remember the Jovo-for-Bure deal and Steve MacIntyre and they signed Vokoun and also Jay Boumeester is a helluva player and Keith Ballard did a dumb thing.
What'd I miss? OH! New uniforms.
The Oilers have had a nice road trip and with 4 points already this would be a great confidence builder. 29 games into the season Edmonton's record (12-13-4) has them 14th in the conference, in lottery position and in need of an extreme run to get back on track for the second season.
If we assume 90 points will get you in, the Oilers would need 62 points in the season's final 53 games. A record like 28-19-6 would do it but Corsi, PDO, visual, logic, reason, luck, God, dice, that big black 8-ball, random choice and even Steven all say nfw.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Despite starting and playing almost 90 percent of the snaps at free safety against the Eagles, James Sanders is still listed as the backup on the Falcons "unofficial" depth chart released by the team for the NFC South opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.
Thomas DeCoud is still listed as the starter.
Defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder said the two are basically in a weekly competition for the starting spot.
"I think we have to keep evaluating new players like the both of them (Sanders and Kelvin Hayden)," VanGorder said. "I think for a safety, his first game against an offense like Philadelphia was a tough chore. Especially with all of the different personnel [groupings] and the calls that we make, but I thought James handled it well."
Sanders had three tackles and was in coverage on Jason Avant's 29-yard gain, one of the nine explosive plays the Falcons' defense yielded.
"We'll keep the ideal of him and Thomas competing for the free safety position," VanGorder said. "I think it's a good situation to have. They'll both come in here and work hard. We'll wait until the end of the week, make a decision and go."
Hayden also started against the Eagles when the Falcons opened the game in their nickel package. He left the game with a hamstring injury. Christopher Owens took over and was strong in relief.
"Kelvin had a good game," VanGorder said. "There were a couple of situations that were new to him. But he came up with an interception."
The Falcons gave up 312 yards passing to Jay Culter in Week One and 314 yards to Michael Vick and Mike Kafka. They are hoping that Sanders and Hayden will help improve their pass defense over the long haul.
"Both of those guys are good pros," VanGorder said. "It's important to them. They want to win and they are going to help us."

Boshers so good he takes up 3 spots on the depth chart. Yeah, Superbowl, here we come.
September 21st, 2011
6:07 am
Bosher has not impressed thus far. 36.8 average ain't looking too good.
September 21st, 2011
6:18 am
I know Bosher is a rookie but "C'MON MAN!!!" We'll never get to the playoffs if we can't control oppnents field postition. Kicking the ball to the 2 just plain stinks!
September 21st, 2011
6:24 am
Since we are talking about Bosher, it would seem to me that there must be someone out there that can punt and get the ball at least 5 yards deep in the end zone most of the time. It would be awful to lose a game because of the punter as it could mean the difference between going to the playoffs and staying home.
September 21st, 2011
6:29 am
And there's the rub.
September 21st, 2011

I thought Bab's was out for longer than one week – and didn't Peters get hurt against the Eagles? My response to this line up might be best summed up by the Tommy Boy Line:
"You want me to take a _____________ in a box and slap guarantee on it, I can. I've got spare time."
September 21st, 2011
6:39 am
There was a time when the Falcons could attempt a 50+ yard field goal to steal some points going into halftime or to win a game, at least they could in a domed stadium. What now?? When kicking off to the Hesters and the Macklins of the world, not only do we kick it directly to them, we kick it 2 yards short of the end zone. He's got one more game to prove he's capable or Dimitroff's got to make a move.
September 21st, 2011
6:51 am
yeeesh. We are giving it yards like a fire sale, and KOs are barely reaching the goal line . The Eagles starting field position seemed like the 25 or better, while we always either had a touchback or barely got back to the 20 after deep KOs.
September 21st, 2011
6:58 am
This depth chart don't mean squat. Is Romberg still on the team? I thought he was cut?
Hayden with a hammy already? Are players at this level supposed to get a hammy? Thought that was a case of warming up properly.
Bosher's leg don't look strong to me. Plus…you can't shank when kicking out of the end zone. That's when the team needs you most dude.
September 21st, 2011
7:00 am
Dled did you sleep last night? 5am post dude…your rockin' it!
September 21st, 2011
7:14 am
Our kick-offs were far better than the preseason. I thought we did well in coverage on kickoffs for the most part with a few drives starting in the -20 portion of the field. The punts are of more concern. You can't shank a 15 yarder at a critical juncture in the game. You earn your money kicking out of your endzone and from our 40 to the opponents 40. I'm hoping he gets stronger as the season matures.
September 21st, 2011
7:14 am
Bosher is terrible. How in the world did we let MK go to Tampa? He was a weapon. One that we sorely miss.
September 21st, 2011

Does that mean Babineaux is expected back for TB?
September 21st, 2011

September 21st, 2011
7:23 am
I think it's a league where there is no dominate defense. That's why your seeing all these big offensive passing numbers. It could be also that the defense hasn't caught up yet. But what's important is that the defense, makes plays when it has to down the stretch of a football game. Decoud has had every opportunity to rise up and make plays. In my opinion,he lacks the anticipatory skills to get the interceptions. Can anybody say Ed Reed.
September 21st, 2011
7:30 am
Boshers got one more game to prove himself. If he doesn't I think it's curtains for him.
September 21st, 2011

14th….. and hoping for a good week against the Bucs!
September 21st, 2011
7:59 am
You're kdding, right? Decoud over Sanders? DeCoud has done NOTHING since his rookie year. He is almost as bad as Crispy Owens…..Crispy did make one play the other night, to be fair.
September 21st, 2011
8:05 am
Sam Baker is still a starter? Did we not learn anything on Sunday night?
September 21st, 2011
8:16 am
The Falcons need to hold tryouts for a new kicker. Matt Bosher kickoffs are not reaching the end zone and the 20 yard punt against Philly should have been the final straw. Bosher's poor kicking will cost the Falcons to give up points on special teams.
September 21st, 2011
8:25 am
What I learned again is that Baker cannot handle talented DL's. He will need
help from a TE or RB with the chip.
September 21st, 2011
8:25 am
And we have no one who can replace him
September 21st, 2011
8:26 am
sam baker may not be the best OT in the game, but he is above average. i couldn't believe they didn't help him out at all sunday night agianst one of the best DE's in the game. no double? no TE to chip? c'mon man. that just ain't fair to the guy.
also, matty ice has gotta get rid of that ball sooner. OR he's gotta be green lighted to turn into peyton manning anytime he wants. thats where he shines. running set lists of plays is where he's average. i think he's proved how good he is in the 2 min drill. might as well make it a 48 min drill if you ask me.

R. Falcon,
We seriously need to sign a left tackle via free agency. I'd rather live with an occasional false start from Flozelle Adams, than risk losing Ryan for the year due to Baker….I agree, sad..
September 21st, 2011
8:47 am
Seems to me that Bosher has the weakest leg in the league. Why are the coaches so high on this guy? Don't think we will see DeCoud in the starting lineup anymore
September 21st, 2011
8:53 am
How is it that you guys know more about this team than coaches that spend hours watching film, practicing with players and working on technique? Simply amazing.
And why are guys that are currently free agents (which means NOBODY wants them) better than who we have? Really? Is it really that simple?
And why do we keep insulting Owens (who made a huge play on the screen to Maclin late in the game), who is a young player that is still developing. And don't say he was beat on the slant that Maclin dropped because replays clearly show he was in zone coverage and Maclin was behind him.
At what point is there any depth to thought on this board? It reminds me of all the people on here that wanted to cut TG because he was "too old" and "too slow". Yeah, that would have worked out….
And do you realize how much money TB gave Koenen? I get that Bosher is struggling, but he is a rookie. Let him develop. By that logic, Roddy would have been cut years ago.
I don't mind critical, but have some logic to your thoughts.
September 21st, 2011
8:58 am
Bosher v. Koren was about $. Remember #2's big bonus payment was due. The looming issue: Where will Turner's, Gonzalez's and Baker's replacements come from with few 2012 draft picks and the salary cap?
September 21st, 2011
9:03 am
BOB- I can agree with those concerns about Turner etc; My guess is TD has a plan. The RB can be found in the 2nd or 3rd. Good RBs are found late all the time. Same with the TE. I would imagine we would go Free Agency for the LT.
We do have a 2nd and 3rd next year. We can get a starter at TE and RB. The Salary Cap will be fine because those guys are making somewhere around $16 million combined. My bigger concern is a Lofton extension getting done, and what happens with Grimes.. My guess is Turner and TG return for at least one more year.
September 21st, 2011
9:21 am
Please do something with out kicking and punting game, quickly, glad to see decould seat his non playing azz down but he did play special teams. Great win all the way around, this win should help us build for a good season and the line will get better mcclure out and joe had a better game. Yes baker got his butt beat, but when it counted he held his own vs cole.
September 21st, 2011
9:24 am
There's no reason to remove Decoud as the starter currently. Sanders played a lot but not particularly any better than Decoud so they are still kind of battling for it I guess. Decoud just needs to spend about 3 hours on the juggs gun.
September 21st, 2011
9:25 am
Until we get some secondary help we will be just an average team. Our Seconday can't cover anyone in a paper bag. We paid all that money to Robinson and he may be as bad as Owens. I would look to trade him or dump him as soon as possible. Maybe he's better at bump and run…but i know he's terrible in zone coverage. He made on good break up in which the ball was thrown late in my opinion.
TD made some good moves in free agency in the past but I think he has missed the boat on our secondary. I'm not sure if they play different at practice than they do gametime. That must be the case becasue gametime there is no doubt we need help back there. And to sit on out thumbs and let Joseph Samuels and other credible DB's sit without going after them is just mind boggling to me.
Yes, bake look helpless Sunday. Almost felt sorry for him…smh. But this is the NFL, either you got it or you don't.
September 21st, 2011
9:26 am
It's important to remember that this is not Bosher vs. Koenan. This is Koenan's paycheck vs any other punter.
Whomever scouted Bosher just flat out blew it putting any kind of draftable grade on the guy. There have to be better punters in the world than Matt Bosher. There are only 32 NFL punting jobs in the world. Matt Bosher is simply not good enough to have this one period.
September 21st, 2011
9:32 am
I'm thinking Sam Baker will be redeeming himself to an extent this week. Loved the tackle Chris Owens made on that 3rd down. That one and the Steven Nicholas open field special teams tackle on Jackson were terrific. They obvioulsly worked on and fixed some issues from last week to this one. I think they will fix some stuff with the OL too. What they can anyway. We do have one of the best OL coaches in the league here.
September 21st, 2011
9:34 am
Chas Henry was an undrafted free agent out of Florida. He was rated higher on the draft boards I saw before the draft. I think that the reason Bosher was chosen was because of his kicking and punting combination was supposed to be better than the kicking and punting combination of Henry.
September 21st, 2011
9:36 am
Any idea on when McClure will be back in the game?
September 21st, 2011
9:37 am
"We do have one of the best OL coaches in the league here."
I don't know if that is (or is not) true, but how do you defend the lack of help given to Baker against the Eagles? Wouldn't "one of the best" coaches given him some sort of help?
September 21st, 2011
9:41 am
At least we still have Bryant.
September 21st, 2011
9:56 am
I agree with KD. Some of you really need to, as Deion puts it, "slow your role."
September 21st, 2011
9:57 am
Yeah, I see some guys also think baker is the one that should be lower on the depth chart after getting man handled, yes man handled for 2 straight weeks. I agree that MM should have given him help. He could see from the box that guy was getting straight up abused. That LT position is TOO important to keep ignoring. If they want Ryan to make it through the year, this absolutely HAS to be addressed. Oh yeah, DeCoud sucks and probably wont get back in the starting line up for too long. As soon as Sanders really adjusts, its a wrap for that guy.
September 21st, 2011

Bosher is young a positive is he has made a number of tackles when the team didn't cove well.

September 21st, 2011
10:35 am
ATL Fan, they stuck to the plan. I can't defend Baker not getting any help (but I'm of the camp that says Baker is not a left tackle and should not be in this position in the first place.)
The personnel they have doesn't lend itself to pass blocking period. They could have left someone in to chip, but my guess is they felt speeding up the play like they did in the 4th quarter was a better way to combat Trent Cole blowing through Baker so quickly.
September 21st, 2011
10:42 am
Flozelle Adams is available…… S.Baker sucks he have to be the worse on the league……. No wait a minute C. Owens is …… They both are trash, Decoud is not too far behind…… Who ever thought Dunta Robinson would work in zone coverage needs to be fired. He is a top 5 corner in man coverage …… Hint…..Van Gorder try it sometimes
September 21st, 2011
10:43 am
Reynolds has looked really bad!!! Wose than Hawley, in fact. I think after two poor performances they should re-consider giving Johnson a crack at the job. I think part of it is his transition & Johnson's more of a natural guard.
September 21st, 2011
11:01 am
I'm in that Sam-Baker-is-not-a-left-tackle camp too. That being said, right now he is our LT and we need to give him every chance to succeed.
Agreed, the fourth quarter was much better for Baker, and therefore, better for Ryan.
It will be interesting to see what happens against Tampa Bay. I haven't looked at the stats but I'm pretty sure Ryan's completion percentage is higher when he is in the vertical position rather than horizontal.
September 21st, 2011

we can put decoud at LT for baker…move baker to team water girl
September 21st, 2011

DOL – have the falcons not addressed the issue with Bosher at all? Have you/media asked them about this? With the falcons being a running team and not very explosive on offense, field position is critical. It will be tough to win consistenty if they can't control field position, which will be difficult with Bosher kicking.
September 21st, 2011
11:27 am
Sanders #36 seemed slow in coverage and kind of stood around on clear run plays in lieu of attacking.
Sam Baker #72 was being walked back on pass downs as if he were wearing roller skates. I have said it before he's probably a nice guy but he is a back up tackle playing out of position (move him to guard). His arms are short, he is not aggressive, and has poor footwork.
#23 Duanta Robinson, you seem to wiff on running plays when you could or should make plays behind the line of scrimmage (we teach kids to keep their heads up when they tackle in order that they don't get hurt and they can see who/what they are hitting). On pass downs you seem lost on 3rd downs. Look for teams to start throwing away from Brent Grimes on 3rd downs and begin targeting you. Tighten your game up, people are starting to think the Texans were right in allowing you to walk.
#5 Bosher, you are going to be under fire until every kickoff is going through the back of the endzone. Welcome to the NFL. I'm sure your a good guy but you are coming in to the league behind a great kicker in Michael Keonen and so far people are not comfortable with your level of output.
#28 Decoud, not sure if you have anything to worry about with #36 Sanders. Sanders appears that he doesn't want to attack on run downs and he and Daunta Robinson gave up an explosive play on 3rd down to Kafka when everyone in Atlanta knew Philly was going to run play action. Not sure if Sanders is an upgrade but hopefully you got the message that you need to step your game up or lose your spot.

A Look at the Atlanta Braves, Both Past and Present
[powered by WordPress.]
The Atlanta Braves(45-35 as of June 28th) continue to play solid ball overall in 2011 and are about to receive a big shot in the arm- literally and figuratively- with the return RHSP Tommy Hanson(8-4,2.48, 89 strike outs in 83.1 innings) Tuesday(June 28th) at the Seattle Mariners. Hanson experienced inflammation of the rotator cuff in his right throwing shoulder after striking out a career high 14 against the Astros June 12th. He was placed on the DL but built up strength in the joint without discomfort or a rehab assignment. Hanson is 7-1 with a 2.02 ERA in his last 10 starts.
BIG BEACHY: 2nd year RH SP Brandon Beachy has been good all season but lately he has really stepped up. In the month of June, he is 2-0 with 1.50 in 2 starts as well as 20 Ks in 12 innings! When you can get that type of production out of a 5th starter, you will win a ton of games and maybe even a pennant!
ANOTHER ROY?: A season after RF Jason Heyward won the NL rookie of the year, 1B Freddie Freeman appears a leading candidate to win consecutive trophies for the Braves organization . The 21 year old continues to play solid defense and is almost always in the middle of any Atlanta rallies. He is hitting .268 with 9 home runs and 32 rbi in 76 games. When you consider Freeman hit .225 in April, those stats become more impressive. Have some fun when you have a minute and look at how Boston Red Sox star 2B(and future MVP) Dustin Pedroia started out his 1st month in the majors! Patience is often required and needed in this game. The good ones have it.
BRAVES NOTES: Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez has received good medical reports on LF Martin Prado(Staph infection in cut on right calf) and is hopeful he will return before the All Star break(July 10-12th) . Prado has taken some swings of a tee and is now working out with medicine balls. Gonzalez is hopeful that his left fielder will be cleared to run and do more baseball related activities later this week… In move more about giving rookie OF Jordan Schafer a break(and rookie right handed hitter Wilkin Ramirez at bats) , Gonzalez placed Heyward in the lead off spot for the 1st time in his career Monday June 27th . Seattle started LH Erik Bedard and Schafer has batted just .118 vs. South paws in 34 at bats… LH RP Jonny Venters has to draw some serious consideration for the NL All Star team. He has 15 holds and leads NL relievers in innings with 49. His ERA is 1.29((4th among NL firemen) and he has limited batters to a .171 batting average while he tops the NL with a .195 slugging percentage allowed!

The Intel succession crisis continues
The company will remain a speculative bet until it appoints a CEO who can set a new direction.
By Dana Blankenhorn
Intel (INTC) is in a crisis right now.
It has been in a crisis ever since Paul Otellini said last year that he would retire as CEO at Intel's next annual meeting, which is scheduled for May 16. Usually, the Intel CEO retires at the company's retirement age, 65. Otellini is 61.
Two things have to happen before the Intel crisis ends. A new CEO must be appointed, and that CEO must then set a strategic direction for the company.
The big news in Intel's quarterly earnings announcement Tuesday was that there was no news (TheStreet). The captain of the ship is one month from his retirement date, and there is no apparent successor in sight.
Until such a successor is appointed, Intel is drifting. It's on autopilot. To those outside it seems to be moving forward. But it can't really adjust to changes going on around it.
And there are serious changes going on around it. It's not just that the PC market is imploding, that a client defined by a TV, typewriter and tape recorder is being replaced by one defined by just a TV with no moving parts.
There's also the cloud, which is replacing high-end servers with commodity servers, low-cost computing engines that will, as software develops, deliver networking from companies such as Nicira and storage through programs like Ceph.
In a virtual world, the relative power of an individual chip, storage unit or bit of networking gear no longer matters. This is the cloud world we're heading toward, and Intel has not told us how it will get there, because there is no one on the bridge of the ship who can see that far into the market fog.
Thus, Intel's latest quarterly numbers wound up being an exercise in spin. Revenue was down 2.5%, the PC business was down 6%, but the outlook was said to be bright because new chips will soon be delivered that are faster than those they replace.
If this were 1993, 2003 or even 2008 that might be good enough. In 2013 it's not good enough.
Why should Google (GOOG), Amazon.com (AMZN) or any other cloud player buy these new high-end chips, at their high-end prices? When low-end commodity chips can be virtualized to provide the same effective power for less?
Companies that build cloud are constantly arbitraging, seeking the best price-performance, the most bang for the buck. Google builds its own servers for the same reason you called Dell (DELL) for your PC in 1995, to get the very best component prices, today's prices. That's what Just In Time production means. As chip production ramps up and yields increase, prices naturally fall with costs, and a cloud builder can afford to wait this process out.
Now, it's possible that Intel will succeed in getting more of its new chips into phones and tablets. But that's speculative. It's also possible that server sales will increase this coming quarter, but that's speculative, too.
If you're buying Intel stock today, with a time horizon of less than a month, you're betting that it can defy the market's gravity and power through while on autopilot. Or that it will appoint a wizard as CEO who will create a vast reality distortion field around the stock and cause it to zoom higher.
That's not a bet I'd like to make. Elvis has left the building. Marissa Mayer already has a job, at Yahoo (YHOO). Gordon Moore is not coming out of retirement. Steve Jobs is still dead. But if it's a bet you'd like to make then, please, proceed.
At the time of publication, the author was long YHOO.

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Tanzanian minerals executive Emmanuel Jengo on Tuesday strongly denounced mine nationalisation as an industry destroyer; said that State mining companies had no place in market economies; condemned free-carried government mining venture ownership as "just another tax" – and called on gobal miners in Africa to list on African stock exchanges to facilitate wider public participation in investment opportunities.
Jengo, who is the Tanzania Chamber of Minerals & Energy executive secretary, drew thunderous applause at the Terrappin's African Mining Congress 2010 in Johannesburg, along with comments of "hallelujah" from the congress' chairperson Tom Blom, and "amens" from an audience that included a significant number of foreign visitors from Asia, Africa and Europe.
"Once the mines are nationalised, you can forget about the mining industry," Jengo said, in reference to the nationalisation of the mining industry finding its way onto the agenda of an upcoming congress of South Africa's ruling African National Congress party.
On the efficacy of the creation of State mining companies, he said: "I'm not for State mining companies. I worked in a State mining company myself for a number of years. I know what happens there."
On the incidence of African governments legislating free-carried interest in mining ventures, he added: "I consider it as just another tax, because the government's not putting in a nickel."
He recalled the history of Tanzania's own mining industry being privatised, nationalised and then privatised again, and provided statistics that illustrated the crushing blow that nationalisation gave to the East African country's gold production.
Tanzania's mining industry, he said, had been established through private capital when under the German administration in 1884, and was producing gold at a rate of 3 t a year as Tanganyika under British administration.
However, soon after gaining independence in 1961, there was a mobilisation to nationalise the mines, which culminated in the nationalisation of the industry in 1967.
"By 1970, gold production dropped from 3 t a year to 10 kg – that's what nationalisation can do," Jengo said.
Later, "common sense" prevailed and the government came up in 1998 with a new legislative environment and incentive packages for the mining sector.
"That's when we began to see mining being revived in Tanzania. As I speak now, in the last decade, Tanzania has been able to attract $2,5-billion in investments in the construction of five gold-mining operations, producing 60 t of gold.
"In the case of South Africa, I cannot say much. It's a huge economy with many mines in operation, but my take is once the mines are nationalised, you can forget about the industry."
On South Africa going ahead with a State mining company, he said: "In a free-market economy, why do you want a State mining company? You don't need it. Private capital flows directly to where it's needed. It doesn't have to go through a State mining company, which only takes money out of the government that would have been used for other purposes, like building a school or a dispensary."
Governments, in his view, should desist from making direct investments in mining and focus their spending on much-needed social services.
On the question of legislating free-carried interest in mining ventures, he said: "I consider it as just another tax, because the government is not putting in a nickel. An investor comes in with all the money, technology and management, builds up the mine, and governments say, 'Well, because I have minerals in the ground, that should constitute my free-carried interest.'
"The minerals have been there since Adam and Eve. Here comes an investor with the money, technology and management, and then they demand a free-carried interest. A 15% commercial interest yes, but not a free-carry," he reiterated.
On wider public participation in mining, Jengo said that governments needed to work towards creating the enabling legislations that would allow international mining companies to list on the stock exchanges of the countries where they were mining, in order to "quench that desire to own a part of the companies that are working in Africa".
Stock exchange involvement would allow Africa to witness the participation of African people in international financing through their respective stock exchanges.
"Both governments and private companies must spearhead the promotion of harmonious coexistence among the stakeholders. We are likely to see a liberalisation of the capital account in most African countries to allow shares to be purchased by local people," he added.
Governments were constantly seeking visible signs of mining-induced revenue streams. While the glib answer was that mining revenue was obtained from taxation – which was why governments constantly sought to raise mining-related taxes – Jengo contended that the revenue spin-off from mining lay in the industry's linkages and in the transport and energy infrastructure that resulted from mining activity.
"There's tons of money from infrastructure and linkages, not taxes," he said.

New bond ETF tracks Latin America
This fund offers investors fixed-income exposure to growing economies.
By Roger Nusbaum, TheStreet
Exchange-traded fund companies have offered increasing specialization in equity ETFs for years, and now that trend is coming to fixed-income ETFs.
The most interesting new bond ETF is Market Vectors' LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (BONO). LatAm is short for Latin America. The ticker symbol is taken from bono, which is Spanish for bond.
This new ETF tracks a large number of countries. Brazil has the largest weighting, accounting for 27% of the fund, followed closely by Mexico, which accounts for 26%. Colombia has a 12% weighting, the Cayman Islands has 8.8%, and Chile has a disappointingly low 2.9%. There are also more than a dozen countries with individual weightings of less than 1%. The fund has more than 450 holdings, which explains why some of the country weights are so small.
The LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF will own sovereign and corporate debt and will charge a net expense ratio of 0.49%. The underlying index has an average of 8.8 years to maturity, with an average yield to worst of 7.24%.
After you account for the fee, the fund could be expected to yield in the mid 6% range, but to get the real yield, investors will need to wait until monthly payouts begin.
Latin American debt obviously carries risks. Although the region has been doing well recently, it has been ground zero for past financial crises. Don't forget that Argentina devalued its peso only a decade ago.
Brazil faces rising inflation and is taxing foreign investment to try to stem the appreciation of the nation's currency, the real.
The other big holding in the fund, Mexico, faces the depletion of the Cantarell Oil Field, which threatens to change the economic dynamics of the country.
The bullish case for the region is that most of countries in the fund have become more prosperous as global demand for commodities has risen -- recent commodity price volatility nothwithstanding. This has helped boost the ranks of the middle class and allowed these countries to get their economic houses in order.
Right now the U.S. fixed-income market has very little going for it. Yields are low, and some observers say the U.S. faces a debt crisis.
Against this backdrop, investors need to selectively allocate parts of their portfolios to foreign fixed income. Most of the other bond ETFs that exist are weighted heavily toward Japan and Western Europe, which are fundamentally unattractive now.
Next month the WisdomTree Dreyfus New Zealand Dollar Fund (BNZ) will become the WisdomTree Dreyfus Australia and New Zealand Debt Fund. This change will make the fund a proxy for intermediate bond exposure from those two countries.
By combining the Market Vectors LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF and the WisdomTree Dreyfus Australia and New Zealand Debt Fund, investors would receive an excellent yield while avoiding the unhealthiest regions in the world.
At the time of publication, Nusbaum had no positions in securities mentioned.

Contest and interview: Win a copy of Peter Tyson's Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress
[Continued] Page 2
GZ: The book focuses mainly on the game's simulation mode. What other modes are available? Would you considering writing other books on them as well, or is one good enough?
PT: The two other modes are Legends and Adventurer. Legends mode is basically a long history book describing all major historical figures, gods, creatures, events, locations, artifacts, and so on. There are actually some people making tools to make Legends more accessible — providing a tool to view the history text, maps to see where places and events are located, that sort of thing.
Although I'm sure many people don't ever bother with Legends, it can be amusing to look back at your dwarf civilization and discover who the current ruler is and his history. Often it turns out you're being led by a vampire, although sometimes it can even be a demon in disguise.
The final mode is Adventurer mode, which is like a more traditional roguelike in the mode of Nethack or Angband. It essentially allows you to explore the worlds you've created as an individual out for adventure and loot. Right now it has its followers, but it is much less of a "game" experience than Fortress mode or other roguelikes. That's not to say that Tarn isn't working on that. He's currently developing systems whereby groups of bandits will pursue goals, menace towns, threaten the player, and perhaps surrender or run away if confronted with deadly force. This is a great example of the way Tarn develops. He won't create arbitrary quest "content"; rather, he just layers on more depth, more simulation, and lets the game and stories emerge from within.
If I were ever to do a book on another Dwarf Fortress mode, it would probably be Adventurer, but I've got no plans for that right now. A kids book, on the other hand, does tickle my fancy ...
GZ: Tell me about Tim Denee's role in the making of the book. How did you two meet, how did he become involved, and what made you decide to include visual representations of other players' stories from the forums? Who came up with that idea?
PT: I mailed Tim a few years ago, when his famous "Oilfurnace" and "Bronzemurder" comics were published, to say how much I liked them. Turns out we both live in the same city (Wellington, New Zealand), and so it seemed natural to approach him about the book. I had this big idea early on that I would love to see some illustrations in the book, and where else to get the stories behind the illustrations than from Dwarf Fortress players? To this end I started a thread on the forum and simply invited players to submit their stories from playing the game. A number of these were turned into full-page illustrations by Tim for the book. They have been really warmly received, which makes it worth the effort to get them in.
GZ: Tarn Adams is the developer and co-designer on the game, and your book contains a foreword by him. How did you get him on board? Has he had a chance to flip through the book himself?
PT: He was in contact with my editor early on in the piece, when Shawn first had the idea for the book. He followed it throughout the writing phase, provided some useful feedback, and graciously agreed to write the foreword. As for whether he's read it yet, I haven't asked! Thanks for reminding me!
GZ: Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress is supposed to make the learning curve easier for new players. What was it like for you when you first discovered the game, and, looking back on that experience, what do you think are its most challenging aspects?
PT: In a way I had it easy when I picked up the game. It was 2D and fairly linear — one simply dug into a hillside and kept digging across underground rivers, pits, and then magma, building your fortress rooms and workshops as you went. I believe I learned from forums and a couple of friends. These days Dwarf Fortress is a lot more complex, with your fortress able to exist on multiple levels and the complexity of the industry and military systems greatly increased. There are some great resources out there to help you learn Dwarf Fortress, but sometimes just sitting down with a book and following along with its guidance makes everything just that little bit easier.
As for what is most challenging? All of it! The fact that it's almost entirely driven by keystrokes is, initially, the greatest hurdle new players have to clear, but the challenges don't stop there! Losing your first few fortresses exceptionally rapidly is quite common.
GZ: Some of our readers might not be familiar with Dwarf Fortress, although its gameplay helped inspire other popular releases like Minecraft. What makes Dwarf Fortress so fascinating and enjoyable, and what would you tell others to convince them to give it a chance?
PT: The sandbox nature of it is quite charming and engaging, despite all the other complexities. Do you wish to make a massive fortress in the clouds on top of a pillar of solid obsidian? Sure, you can do that. Do you want to construct your fortress entirely out of ice blocks? Yes, it's possible! But watch out for the dragons. Can you conceive of an automated defense system using computer logic and highly pressurized magma? Chances are you can build it in Dwarf Fortress. The player has a great deal of control over the physical world of Dwarf Fortress, and this is interestingly contrasted with your control over your dwarves, which is quite indirect. It isn't uncommon to lose a fortress to an "emo death spiral," whereby emotionally upset dwarves throw tantrums and attack each other, causing more tantrums. The player has few controls to stop a tantrum spiral once it starts, but lots of ways to reduce the chance of one before it begins. This makes for an interesting and tense game where if you dream it, you can build it, so long as your miner hasn't gone berserk and driven his pick through a popular and well-loved dwarf's skull.

Brookwood assistant Michael Owens was named the head coach at Chattahoochee on Friday.
Owens will replace Terry Crowder, who took the head coaching job at Creekview in Cherokee County last month.
''I really can't describe how excited I am to be part of a program and school that's always been successful,'' Owens said. "There's nothing broken at Chattahoochee. That's not why Terry made decision he made. I just hope to continue to build on to what Terry has done.''
Chattahoochee won the Class AAAA championship in 2010, the same year that Brookwood team won the AAAAA title. Chattahoochee was 7-4 last season playing in Region 7-AAAAAA.
Owens has assisted at Brookwood since 2005 and was part of 2006 state runner-up and 2010 state championship teams. Brookwood doesn't grant official titles to its assistants, but Owens was integral in developing Brookwood's defenses for much of his time with the Broncos, although he helped out on the offensive side the past two years.
Brookwood's teams are known for the run game and defense. Owens said his offensive and defensive schemes would depend on the personnel from year to year.
''Football is still won and lost on the line of scrimmage,'' Owens said. "We saw that in the Super Bowl. A strong defense is what you need. My preference is a pro style multiple offense which gives you chance to run and pass because in high school you can't recruit your players. You accommodate the players you have.''
Four of Crowder's assistant coaches, including both coordinators, also left for Creekview, so Owens will have some holes to fill.
Prior to coming to Brookwood, Owens was head coach at Peachtree Ridge for its first two seasons, 2003 and 2004. He has been an assistant at McEachern (1991, 1994-2002) and Presbyterian College (1992-93).
A native of South Carolina and former player at Presbyterian, Owens was hired out of college at Peachtree, whose coach was Dave Hunter, who later would build Brookwood into a state power before turning the program over to Mark Crews. Owens left coaching for seven years to work in business before returning at McEachern in 1991.
Owens is the second prominent assistant from Gwinnett County to take a head coaching position this off-season. Robert Andrews of Grayson was hired at East Jackson last month.

It may be time to adopt a model in which we help deliver healthcare
After a wave of feedback, the accreditor has deferred a ban on use of corporate logos in disclosures of commercial support.
The Cleveland Clinic finds that 75% of Americans don't worry about dying of heart disease, even though it's the country's leading killer.
J&J's campaign picks up where the FDA left off when it alerted physicians to concerns about prescribing acetaminophen-containing drugs but deferred action relative to OTC products.
The accreditor wants comments on its new accreditation plan, but a new commendation proposal is yet to come.
Pew Charitable Trust's proposed conflict of interest guidelines could mean even less face time for sales reps and less industry money for CME programs.
The publisher says the latest release enriches the CE experience through direct links to Nursing Advisor content.
The agency made good on a pledge to expand Bad Ad with a web-based CME course and case studies representing common problems.
Attendance by physicians crept up in 2012, said the trade group HCEA, but overall turnout was flat, likely because exhibitors brought less personnel along to meetings.
Some providers of CME are getting better at complying with accreditation criteria, data show, yet many are still struggling to meet a stricter set of requirements.

4. Uploading events from your local calendar
If you have previously used iCal to keep an electronic calendar on your computer, it is likely that it contains events you might like to transfer to the calendar on the Exchange server, ie Nexus. You may be using iCal with several calendars within it, perhaps one for home and one for work. In fact it may make sense for you to transfer all of your local calendars onto the server so that you can access them wherever you are.
To transfer the contents of any local calendar onto the Nexus server you will need to export each of your local calendars and then import them into your Nexus account. The good news is that you can perform all of these tasks from within iCal.
The first step is to export the local calendar. In iCal select the name of the calendar that you wish
to export from the
Calendars section in the left hand pane. In this example we will
export the local
Work calendar:
Once you have selected the correct calendar go to the iCal menu and select
[File], then
[Export...], followed by
This will bring up a window that allows you to specify where the export file will be saved and what
it will be called. You should save the file to a location that you will be able to find easily for
the next step. We have saved the file on the Desktop and we have accepted the suggested filename of
Work which matches the original name of the local calendar.
Once you have specified the filename and location click the
Export button to perform
the export. In this example the exported file appears on the Desktop as
Now we have to import that file into a calendar within your Nexus account. It is possible to create
more than one calendar within your Nexus account but it is only the main Exchange calendar that is
used to reflect availability and updated invitations and invitee responses. So, in this example we
will import the local
Work calendar into our main Exchange calendar. (Of course you
may wish to import a local
Home calendar into a calendar on Nexus that is separate
from the main calendar as availability and invitations may not be relevant to this calendar. In this
case you will need to create the new destination calendar under your Nexus account before going
through the Import process below.)
Select your main Exchange calendar for the import by selecting
Calendar within your
Nexus account where it appears in the left hand pane.
Once you have selected the correct calendar go to the iCal menu and select
[File], then
[Import...], followed by
The next window to appear is the "iCal: Import" window and this allows you to browse for the file to
import. In our example we saved our exported calendar file to the Desktop so use the browser to
locate the correct file and click the
Import button to start the import.
The import process will pop up an "Add events" window that prompts you to select the destination calendar from a drop down menu. To import the events into your main Exchange calendar make sure you select Calendar from the list, if you want to import into a different calendar as discussed previously you will need to select the name of the calendar that you have already created to receive the events from your exported local calendar.
Click the
OK button to import the events into the selected destination calendar.
Once the process is complete you will see the new events appear in your Nexus calendar.
If you wish to import events from more than one local calendar you will need to perform the export and then import process for each of your local calendars in turn.

Doc Crow Smokehouse near KFC Yum! Center
To celebrate the opening of Doc Crow Southern Smokehouse and Raw Bar, Mayor Greg Fischer decide to forego a tradition ribbon cutting – and instead opted for a barbecue tasting.
He, along with Metro Councilmember David Tandy, sampled different barbecues that will be on the menu at downtown's newest restaurant, located adjacent to the KFC Yum! Center.
"Main Street is quickly becoming one of the city's main restaurant rows," Fischer said at the grand opening today. "From new restaurants such as O'Sheas, Bluegrass Brewing Company and now Doc Crow to Rivue, Bristol and Proof on Main, downtown's becoming a food lover's destination."
The city, through the Economic Development department, provided a $100,000 low-interest and a $20,000 forgivable loan for the restaurant.
Doc Crow is one of several restaurants that are planned for Whisky Row Lofts projects at 2nd and Main being developed by siblings Valle and Stephen Jones and Bill Weyland, a leading downtown builder.
The $19.5 million project includes apartments, commercial spaces and meeting spaces and private rooms for parties.
Doc Crow is owned by Brett Davis and brothers Michael and Steven Ton. The brothers own and operate Basa on Frankfort Avenue and were founders of 732 Social on East Market St.
The restaurant, which opens to the public on Feb. 10, will feature traditional Southern fare, including barbecue and an array of seafood. Over 60 types of bourbon, nearly 100 wines, nine beers on tap and 30 beers in the bottle also will be featured.

Projects include first environmentally certified government building
Louisville's first projects using federal stimulus funding will create 330 jobs and construct the city's first government building that meets national standards for environmental efficiency, Mayor Jerry Abramson announced today.
The Transit Authority of River City will build a maintenance and training hub at its headquarters on West Broadway. The $5.5 million project, which will include solar panels and a green roof, is one of $20 million worth of projects announced today by TARC and the Louisville Metro Housing Authority.
"These are exciting projects that will not only put people to work, they'll leave our city's environment greener and they'll create a lasting legacy," Abramson said.
Abramson made the announcement flanked by five TARC buses, the number of vehicles that would be needed to hold all the workers created by the investment.
"When crafting a package to put a floor under the downward spiral of the economy, Congress worked with President Obama to create an initiative that not only put people to work today, but invested in our long-term future," Congressman John Yarmuth said. "These projects exemplify those efforts, creating hundreds of new jobs through critical projects that have been on hold for as long as four years. But they are also investments in energy efficiency and transportation infrastructure that will benefit our community for generations."
Abramson was joined by Metro Council President David Tandy, "Louisville At Work" Director Rick Johnstone and other members of the "Louisville At Work" team that are determining priorities for spending the federal stimulus dollars.
The $17.6 million in TARC funding, which will create 250 jobs, includes:
· Building a LEED-certified maintenance facility, $5.5 million
· Purchasing 10 hybrid buses, $5.3 million
· Renovating the 29th St. maintenance building, $2.5 million
· Replacing a roof for 10th Street maintenance building, $2.2 million
· Purchasing new generators, $912,000
The remaining $1.2 million of the $17.6 million is for capital costs related to the contracting work.
The housing authority funding, creating 80 jobs, includes:
· Replacing underground lead pipes at Beecher Terrace, $2 million
· Repainting the interior of Dosker Manor, $150,000
Contractors and subcontractors interested in bidding on these projects should contact TARC, 502-213-3204, and the Housing Authority, 502-569-3420. The projects will be let for bid in the coming weeks.
The public can learn about these and all stimulus projects at the city website, http://www.louisvilleky.gov/recovery
Louisville is expected to get about $200 million in stimulus funding, part of President Obama's plan to save and create jobs to pull the country out of a recession.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Matt Cassel, the one-time backup to the great Tom Brady, has posted an 18-21 record in three seasons with the Chiefs.
He guided them to the AFC West title in 2010, but he played in only nine games last season because of injury. He's the X-factor when the Falcons face the Chiefs at 1 p.m. Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
"He's taken us to the playoffs before, and we anticipate that he will be ready and able to do that again," Kansas City coach Romeo Crennel said. "He's got some talent and he's learned the new system."
The Falcons have some inside information on Cassel.
Cornerback Asante Samuel was with New England along with Cassel for three seasons (2005-07).
"He has developed well," Samuel said. "When I was in New England he was running the scout team most of the time."
Samuel may talk a lot, but he's film student of the game. He said it's hard to read Cassel, who does a good job of not tipping off where he's throwing his passes.
Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan faced Cassel twice in 2009 when he was Denver's defensive coordinator.
"He's a very competitive player," Nolan said. "I've played him several times over the years. He's always been a guy that you have to be really detailed and prepared for. I've got a lot of respect for him."
Cassel started nine games last season. He was placed on injured reserve Nov. 21 after suffering a hand injury.
He expects the Falcons will show multiple fronts and try to disguise their blitzes.
"One thing that shows up to me is they play with a tremendous amount of speed," Cassel said. "They get to the football. They're aggressive. They have a great group out there."
Cassel has some dangerous receivers in Dwayne Bowe, Jon Baldwin and Dexter McCluster.
"We've got the potential to do some good things, but at the same time it's got to come together on Sunday," Cassel said.

Now is the time! As Falcon fans this is the year. In other sports, especially the NBA and maybe even MLB you can build on the previous year's success, but in the NFL, there are no guarantees that the defending champions will even make the playoffs b/c of schedules, free agency, and injuries. The time is now… no boasting just shut up and play! I do not need to hear about what they might do or could do to an opponent. Vertical offense… high powered, low powered or no powered… just score TD's and keep the other team from doing the same. No need for talk about being explosive just keep scoring until the other team stops trying to score, and no need to be classless just unrelenting. I am tired of hearing about next year and what could happen, but even more than that, I ready for this team, the media and the fans to expect nothing less than a Super Bowl. Trust me the Giants HC will be on the hot seat by mid-season if he is not winning because the media and their fans demand success. Come on let us do something we have never done before, but first it must start with a strong Oline and DLine, scoring TD's and not kicking FG's… then winning games when we do not play our best ball. Out smarting the opponent and dominating them. Let the national media outlets toot our horn. Let us get that first playoff win and ride that momentum to the Super Bowl and let's win it!

Ya know, I simply can not believe the travesty of the situation where some fools have "ruled" that our beloved NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is "out of order" and that some rogue sAINTS players did not hurt opposing team players with malicious intent to injure! We all know that the images on recorded games from last year and the 2 previous years clearly show some of the shocking and malicious hits that somehow were not "seen"! Yes, it is indeed true as recent satellite radio sports broadcasts have confirmed that the sAINTS should have an (*) asterisk placed by their SB entries!

" I have never heard of this bunch so they must not be well known for big numbers…"
Bowe has over 200 catches, 25 TD catches, and over 2,600 yards in receptions the past 3 years… Imagine the numbers if he hadn't have the garbage that was Tyler Palko and Brodie Croyle throwing balls to the opposition instead of him and the others…

No excuse not to win this game.
The Chiefs are not to be taken lightly, however they play in what is routinely one of the weaker divisions in football.
The Chargers never play to expectations.
The Raiders are usually a mess & how many miracles did it take the Broncos to win the division with 8 win last year?
Bowe can play(when he wants too), Baldwin & Breaston are #3 WRs.
Their D plays hard for Romeo but lacks play-makers aside from Hali – who won't play & Berry – coming off an ACL.
Falcon STs better be ready to play. The Chiefs have 2 potential pro-bowl returners in Arenas & McCluster.
Just win Falcons!!
September 8th, 2012
11:17 am
Indeed, I think some of you Falcon fans need to study your opponent a little more. Too much talent on the Chiefs roster for them not to get it together this year.
1. You play at Arrowhead on the 1st game of the year.
2. ACL crew coming back. Jamaal Charles, Tony Moeoki, Eric Berry
3.Team is Loaded with talent.. All they need is confidence with them being a young team!

We want a superbowl and not excuses, nor do I want to hear about how your going to do it, and the reason you failed was because you werent able to execute you plam Mike Smith. Point,turnovers,loud dome for once, persistence,and vocation is gonna get us that superbowl. And I dont want to hear anyone tell Ray Edwards he doesnt need to get sacks.
