The A's are on quite a roll. The A's, who just finished a sweep against the sluggish Royals, will look to extend their season-high winning streak to six games against the banged up Red Sox.
Ben Sheets, who has been mentioned in trade talks, will look to build upon his last start, where he pitched six-shutout innings against the Angels. The A's pitching staff has been exceptional for the past week or so, and have one of the top team ERAs in the AL.
The A's offense, however, has also found success recently. The A's 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff recorded seven RBIs in the series against the Royals. In fact, guys like Rajai Davis, Adam Rosales and Jack Cust have been hot at the plate.If the A's continue to score runs, especially once Brett Anderson and Dallas Braden get back, they could make some noise this second-half.
The A's will play host this week against Boston and then to the White Sox.

Technology keeps moving ahead at a blistering pace. As a result, the day you share the road with blind drivers may be getting closer.
They've tricked out a Ford Escape with "nonvisual interface technology," which uses laser sensors that operate much like sonar, plus various transmitters, vibrating gloves and devices releasing compressed air. Together, these functions will help communicate surroundings to the driver. The prototype vehicle is designed to allow the blind to drive independently.
Although the reality of blind drivers hitting the road is quite a few years away, the technological possibility hasn't escaped the attention of the insurance industry. Many representatives of major car insurance companies decline to talk about how they'd figure insurance rates for blind drivers. But they expect to face the challenge someday.
"Our guidelines are based on what is current today," says Kate Hollcraft, a spokeswoman for Allstate. "Both the car in development and a driver who cannot see are currently just concepts. (But) if the car goes to market and states issue licenses to drivers who are blind, I'm sure we'll explore both factors in our guidelines."
She notes that Allstate requires customers to have valid driver's licenses, which typically require vision tests.
Car insurance for autopilotThe possibility of blind drivers is already raising questions in the minds of insurers.
"I think it opens up a lot of basic questions as to how this technology would fit into the bigger picture," Moraga says. "If technology exists to allow a blind person to drive, then at what point does that become standard for all drivers?"
Moraga anticipates autonomous vehicles, combining GPS technology and computers, to drive us around on autopilot one day in the future.
"You can sometimes look at the future by where we are today compared to where we've been," he says. "At one point, you're going to punch in the coordinates of where you want to go, and the car will drive you there. . . . Think how far technology has advanced since the advent of the digital age. Look at what our cell phones can do today. Our computers couldn't do that 10 years ago."
"Technology forces us to explore the boundaries, and insurance, like any other financial institution, will have to adapt to that as well," he says. "You're not going to see an overnight change. But insurers will have to pay attention to this. If technology changes the way we drive, then we will have to change underwriting as well."

Welcome to the Chilli Farm – that is both our address and a great description of what we have built here in the middle of Suffolk! In the summer of 2001 we made a decision to turn our hobby for growing chillies into a commercial venture. That summer we setup the Chilli Ranch in Norfolk and started to create a range of sauces.
In 2005 we travelled a lot. This included trips to Mexico, Texas and New Mexico – including a visit to the Chile Pepper Institute in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
By the end of 2005 we found an old nursery over the border into Suffolk and decided that was the place to expand our offering. We were delighted to find a 400 year old barn on the nursery that was ripe for conversion.
Channel 5 filmed our move and conversion of the thatched barn into a Mexican Restaurant as part of their "Build a New Life in the Country" series with George Clarke. We renovated the greenhouses and re-covered the polytunnels and set about growing another years huge crop of chillies. We also amassed the largest collection of chilli products in the UK and sold that from our farm shop too.
We are now a lot more casual here on the farm. The restaurant is no longer open in the evenings so our family life has benefited enormously! It is now run by Kate and her welcoming team, serving homely food in our fantastic barn with great countryside views. They also have a great deli with a wonderful range of products too!
We have gone back to our roots (pardon the pun!) of growing our chillies for our own range of products! We concentrate on bringing you the biggest and best range of chilli products in the Smoke and Spice shop and we open our Chilli Trail to visitors throughout the year.

Pharma marketers were a cautious lot in 2012. Even with a multitude of new products approved by the FDA last year, pharma companies allocated about $2 billion less for markting budgets than in 2011.
According to a report from Cegedim Strategic Data, marketers reduced their promotional spending for Rx drugs by 8% in 2012. This was an even steeper percentage decline than the cutbacks in promotional spending that took place in 2011, according to the report. Yet, pharma companies did spend more than $27 billion in the U.S. market on the promotion of drug products.
(To download a copy of this Cegedim report, click here. Note, registration required.)
The biggest cuts came in the areas of sampling (down 9%), print advertising (d0wn 44%) and direct-to-consumer advertising (down 22%). Interestingly, the direct mail category last year enjoyed a double-digit increase in promotional spending, rising 16% to $1.16 billion. The boost in the direct mail category — the second consecutive yearly increase — would seem to be tied to the corresponding drop in spending in the "print" category, which we interpret as the professional journal market.
"Promotional spending in the pharmaceutical industry continued to decline in 2012, shedding dollars directed at consumers and expenditures supporting HCP detailing and sampling," Cegedim reported.
The top three therapeutic areas — nervous system, cardiovascular, and alimentary tract and metabolism — in aggregate represented almost half of the $27 billion in promotional spending, according to Cegedim. The respiratory category ranked fourth with 12% of overall promotional spending, a 1% increase over 2011.
At the top of the company rankings, Pfizer continued to lead all pharma companies in U.S. promotional spending with about $2.4 billion in spending, but its share of the overall promotional market dropped by 2 percentage points to 9%. Merck ranked No. 1, with promotional spending of $2.1 billion, and its share of the market remained stable at 8%.

The quest for another offensive lineman for the New York Jets continues, and it will be interesting to see if former Detroit Lions guard Stephen Peterman ends up being the final destination. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News tweeted yesterday that the Jets will host Peterman on a visit today, and he notes that Peterman started in every game during the past three seasons for the Detroit Lions.
Peterman could be the Jets replacement for Brandon Moore, who views himself as a starter in this league and wants "starter money" that teams are reportedly unwilling to give him. Why they don't view Moore as a viable starter is beyond me, because he was as dependable as it gets for the Jets. Of course, it could have something to do with the "butt fumble" mishap, but Vince Wilfork is strong enough to do that to anyone.
Anyway, the Jets are expected to sign Stephen Peterman if his medicals check out, and that's the biggest concern at this point. He has a long history of severe foot injuries, but the fact that Peterman has managed to play through them all without missing a beat for three years is impressive. The issue at hand is not whether Peterman misses game, but rather how the injuries affect his ability. The long-time Lions G didn't exactly have his best season in 2012 (I don't want to slam the guy or anything, because I do like him), and the 31-year-old LSU product was thus released in early February.
Thus, Peterman has received no interest in free agency, save for this reported visit from the Jets. The good news for the Jets is that Peterman will come dirt cheap, and that means a lot to the Jets organization in their current state. If he checks out medically, then he can be capable enough at the guard position for this team.

- Contextual equivalence for the pi-calculus that can stop (2014)
- The pi-calculus is a well-analyzed model for mobile processes and mobile computations. While a lot of other process and lambda calculi that are core languages of higher-order concurrent and/or functional programming languages use a contextual semantics observing the termination behavior of programs in all program contexts, traditional program equivalences in the pi-calculus are bisimulations and barbed testing equivalences, which observe the communication capabilities of processes under reduction and in contexts. There is a distance between these two approaches to program equivalence which makes it hard to compare the pi-calculus with other languages. In this paper we contribute to bridging this gap by investigating a contextual semantics of the synchronous pi-calculus with replication and without sums. To transfer contextual equivalence to the pi-calculus we add a process Stop as constant which indicates success and is used as the base to define and analyze the contextual equivalence which observes may- and should-convergence of processes. We show as a main result that contextual equivalence in the pi-calculus with Stop conservatively extends barbed testing equivalence in the (Stop-free) pi-calculus. This implies that results on contextual equivalence can be directly transferred to the (Stop-free) pi-calculus with barbed testing equivalence. We analyze the contextual ordering, prove some nontrivial process equivalences, and provide proof tools for showing contextual equivalences. Among them are a context lemma, and new notions of sound applicative similarities for may- and should-convergence.
- Program transformation for functional circuit descriptions (2007)
- We model sequential synchronous circuits on the logical level by signal-processing programs in an extended lambda calculus Lpor with letrec, constructors, case and parallel or (por) employing contextual equivalence. The model describes gates as (parallel) boolean operators, memory using a delay, which in turn is modeled as a shift of the list of signals, and permits also constructive cycles due to the parallel or. It opens the possibility of a large set of program transformations that correctly transform the expressions and thus the represented circuits and provides basic tools for equivalence testing and optimizing circuits. A further application is the correct manipulation by transformations of software components combined with circuits. The main part of our work are proof methods for correct transformations of expressions in the lambda calculus Lpor, and to propose the appropriate program transformations.
- Applicative may- and should-simulation in the call-by-value lambda calculus with amb (2014)
- Motivated by the question whether sound and expressive applicative similarities for program calculi with should-convergence exist, this paper investigates expressive applicative similarities for the untyped call-by-value lambda-calculus extended with McCarthy's ambiguous choice operator amb. Soundness of the applicative similarities w.r.t. contextual equivalence based on may-and should-convergence is proved by adapting Howe's method to should-convergence. As usual for nondeterministic calculi, similarity is not complete w.r.t. contextual equivalence which requires a rather complex counter example as a witness. Also the call-by-value lambda-calculus with the weaker nondeterministic construct erratic choice is analyzed and sound applicative similarities are provided. This justifies the expectation that also for more expressive and call-by-need higher-order calculi there are sound and powerful similarities for should-convergence.
- Simulation in the call-by-need lambda-calculus with letrec (2010)
- This paper shows the equivalence of applicative similarity and contextual approximation, and hence also of bisimilarity and contextual equivalence, in the deterministic call-by-need lambda calculus with letrec. Bisimilarity simplifies equivalence proofs in the calculus and opens a way for more convenient correctness proofs for program transformations. Although this property may be a natural one to expect, to the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first one providing a proof. The proof technique is to transfer the contextual approximation into Abramsky's lazy lambda calculus by a fully abstract and surjective translation. This also shows that the natural embedding of Abramsky's lazy lambda calculus into the call-by-need lambda calculus with letrec is an isomorphism between the respective term-models.We show that the equivalence property proven in this paper transfers to a call-by-need letrec calculus developed by Ariola and Felleisen.
- Fast equality test for straight-line compressed strings (2011)
- The paper describes a simple and fast randomized test for equality of grammar-compressed strings. The thorough running time analysis is done by applying a logarithmic cost measure. Keywords: randomized algorithms, straight line programs, grammar-based compression
- Computing overlappings by unification in the deterministic lambda calculus LR with letrec, case, constructors, seq and variable chains (2011)
- Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach to proving correctness is the combination of a context lemma with the computation of overlaps between program transformations and the reduction rules.The method is similar to the computation of critical pairs for the completion of term rewriting systems. We describe an effective unification algorithm to determine all overlaps of transformations with reduction rules for the lambda calculus LR which comprises a recursive let-expressions, constructor applications, case expressions and a seq construct for strict evaluation. The unification algorithm employs many-sorted terms, the equational theory of left-commutativity modeling multi-sets, context variables of different kinds and a mechanism for compactly representing binding chains in recursive let-expressions. As a result the algorithm computes a finite set of overlappings for the reduction rules of the calculus LR that serve as a starting point to the automatization of the analysis of program transformations.
- Contextual equivalence in lambda-calculi extended with letrec and with a parametric polymorphic type system (2009)
- This paper describes a method to treat contextual equivalence in polymorphically typed lambda-calculi, and also how to transfer equivalences from the untyped versions of lambda-calculi to their typed variant, where our specific calculus has letrec, recursive types and is nondeterministic. An addition of a type label to every subexpression is all that is needed, together with some natural constraints for the consistency of the type labels and well-scopedness of expressions. One result is that an elementary but typed notion of program transformation is obtained and that untyped contextual equivalences also hold in the typed calculus as long as the expressions are well-typed. In order to have a nice interaction between reduction and typing, some reduction rules have to be accompanied with a type modification by generalizing or instantiating types.
- Program equivalence for a concurrent lambda calculus with futures (2006)
- Reasoning about the correctness of program transformations requires a notion of program equivalence. We present an observational semantics for the concurrent lambda calculus with futures Lambda(fut), which formalizes the operational semantics of the programming language Alice ML. We show that natural program optimizations, as well as partial evaluation with respect to deterministic rules, are correct for Lambda(fut). This relies on a number of fundamental properties that we establish for our observational semantics.
- Observational program calculi and the correctness of translations (2013)
- Motivated by our experience in analyzing properties of translations between programming languages with observational semantics, this paper clarifies the notions, the relevant questions, and the methods, constructs a general framework, and provides several tools for proving various correctness properties of translations like adequacy and full abstractness. The presented framework can directly be applied to the observational equivalences derived from the operational semantics of programming calculi, and also to other situations, and thus has a wide range of applications.
- Extending Abramsky's lazy lambda calculus: (non)-conservativity of embeddings (2013)
- Our motivation is the question whether the lazy lambda calculus, a pure lambda calculus with the leftmost outermost rewriting strategy, considered under observational semantics, or extensions thereof, are an adequate model for semantic equivalences in real-world purely functional programming languages, in particular for a pure core language of Haskell. We explore several extensions of the lazy lambda calculus: addition of a seq-operator, addition of data constructors and case-expressions, and their combination, focusing on conservativity of these extensions. In addition to untyped calculi, we study their monomorphically and polymorphically typed versions. For most of the extensions we obtain non-conservativity which we prove by providing counterexamples. However, we prove conservativity of the extension by data constructors and case in the monomorphically typed scenario.

Tumblr has recently had some issues with displaying videos properly. If they do not come up, please see my Vimeo
The majority of the projects I have done have been completed on a computer. Though there is not much safety to worry about whilst working at a computer, there are some elements of health to consider.
When working at a computer, it is advisable to:
Bournemouth University - Computer Animation Arts (BA Hons)
Insurance Choice: University of Hertfordshire - 3D Animation and Modelling
I was not asked to come for an interview, and just received an offer a little while after applying: 300 UCAS Points, 200 of which must be from 2 A-levels
The Bournemouth interview was my last and most involved interview. All applicants had to take three tests
The results of these (I assume) influences whether or not we get a place. I attained 88% in the Maths test and 90% in the logic test. I was not informed of the results of my life drawing test, though my interviewer did give me some feedback.
Once we had taken our tests, there was a brief talk from the leading lecturer of the program, who talked about what each of the three interconnected courses entailed and a bit about the origins of the course. We were then called out one at a time for one-to-one interviews. Whilst we waited for our interviews, some third year students showed us around the computer labs and we got to talk to some students and see their work. This was really interesting and a nice break from the intense testing.
My interview was taken by one of the lecturers of the Computer Animation Arts course. She asked me to pick out my three favourite/most relevant pieces of work rather than show her my whole portfolio. This was a little bit stressful as I wasn't expecting to be asked this and I didn't know what to choose. I decided to show my final Kilve animation, my Kilve sketchbook (this also ended up being my V&A sketchbook too, so I showed her the start of that project too) and my creature design sketchbook.
The feedback on my life drawing was: that whilst they were good I needed to look more at gesture in the figures than detailed tone. I should also experiment with silhouette when creating poses so that the posing and movement of the drawings always appear strong and dynamic. She recommended that I continue to practice this skill.
I received an offer a week later: 340 UCAS Points from 3 A-levels
My second interview was at the University of Hertfordshire. At this interview, applicants were given a group talk covering all the courses for the benefit of those who could not make it to an open day. We were then individually called out for a one-on-one interview.
Once again, the interview was fairly informal, I talked through my portfolio and the projects included. I was asked a few more questions at this interview, such as where I saw myself in 5/10 years and what animations/artists/studios I liked. The interviewer also gave me some helpful feedback, including a sheet of websites and artists that would be worth checking out. He also mentioned that my portfolio could use some more 3D work as I was applying for a 3D modelling course.
I received an offer at the end of the interview, and the specifications a week later: Minimum 280 UCAS Points
My first interview was at the University of South Wales. I was pleased with this as Wales was my last choice so it allowed me to practice and get feedback before the more strenuous interviews. We were called up one at a time, and spoke to one interviewer. It was very informal and generally pleasant, I showed him my portfolio and talked a little about some of the projects.
I was asked questions about my favourite animated films and studios and what aspects of animation I liked best. This led to a short discussion about Character Design. I was also asked if I had any questions; I asked what (computing) facilities were available. It turns out that there are not always facilities available for use outside lessons.
I received an offer around a week later: BBC grades at A-level
Visited: Yes
Course: (BA Hons)
Entry requirements: 300 points required. (Minimum 200 from 2 A Levels or equivalent, excluding General Studies). Selection criteria based on your personal attributes; experience and/or commitment to the area of study. This information will be derived from your personal statement and reference and will only be used if you have met the general entry requirements.
Duration: 3 Years full time or 4 years sandwich
When visiting this university I made the mistake of going to the wrong campus and consequentially attending the wrong lecture. When I realised that I was in the wrong place I was able to get the bus across town to the right campus, unfortunately I had missed the course talk and therefore did not get to see any student work. However, I managed to talk to two of the lecturers who ran the course, who have me a great overview of the course and short tour of the facilities. They were both very enthusiastic about the course and good to talk to.
A very good aspect of this course is that it offers a placement year, which I would really like to do. They also have great facilities in terms of green screens, motion capture studios and computer labs. The only downside is that I cannot find any student work on the website or anywhere else, so I am unable to see the quality of work produced.
University of South Wales - Computer Animation
Visited: Yes
Entry requirements: 280 UCAS tariff points, eg, BBC at A-level. Additional criteria: An A-level in an art and design-related subject. Applicants will be required to attend an interview, to which they should bring a portfolio of relevant work.
Duration: 3 years full time
Course: (BA Hons)
Entry requirements: 280 UCAS tariff points, or BBC in A levels, to include an A-level in a relevant subject. Applicants will be required to attend an interview, to which they should bring a portfolio of relevant work.
Duration: 3 years full time
Again, there are a few separate courses on offer. Visiting the university was really enlightening – I got to hear from all of the tutors and even see a green screen demo to give an idea of what could be achieved. Getting to meet all of the tutors was really encouraging as I know that if I go there I will definitely get a good teacher. Similarly to the other two, great industry links. The course again looks strong, practical and varied. I like how USW strongly encourages collaboration across the courses, leading to really strong group projects and imitating what the environment would be like in the real world. I also liked how students are encouraged to specialize, finding what they are really good at and working at it to a very high standard.
Unfortunately I did not really like the accommodation that I saw at this university - hopefully there is more available that I didn't see.
Hertfordshire - Computer 3D Digital Animation and Modelling
Visited: Yes
Course: BA Hons
Entry requirements: 280 points from GCE A Levels (or equivalent) including a qualification in an art related subject plus GCSE English language and maths at grade C or above and Key skills are accepted as equivalent. Selection is based on a portfolio interview.
Duration: Full Time, 3 Years
There were a couple of courses at Herts that interested me - 3D Digital Animation, 3D Games Art and Visual Effects. I'd really like to do all of them, but if I have to pick one, it would probably be 3D Digital Animation, as it seems like the most wide-ranging and transferable one. Once again, I've visited the campus and the campus itself and facilities are great. I was really pleased by the subject talk at Herts, the lecturers really knew what they were talking about and were engaging and enthusiastic. Again, course content is varied and useful and student work is of a stunning quality.
It was mentioned that students are expected to create work at the end of their last year of a professional quality and they accepted nothing less - after all, the students have a year to create something that professionals can do in a few months. The student work was well showcased and of outstanding quality.
The only downside to this course is that they do not offer a placement year, which I would really like to do.

In our age of technology and social media there are many positives and negatives. Some of the negatives get blasted so often that it would seem like there was no use for any of it. Yet it continues to grow meaning many find the positives to far out weight the negatives. One such positives is in regards to coverage of non-televised sporting events, such as the Cleveland Browns Minicamp. Through the Lists feature of Twitter users can setup a List of tweeters who are covering such event and following along with some of their takes and get information that once was only available to those live on site, or the next day through the newspaper.
Today we will take a look at notes from minicamp through the lens of Twitter and give our take on the information provided to us yesterday. We love your feedback in the comment section, or by interacting with us on our pages Twitter account (click here to follow us). Now on to minicamp coverage:
Clearly an edge to Manziel vs. Hoyer today. It's as if they are maintaining an assured clear distance from each other.
— Steve Doerschuk (@sdoerschukREP) June 10, 2014
Steve brings up an interesting point that he noticed. Is it possible that Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel are not in friendly competition but are both highly competitive and want to win the starting QB job? While some may be concerned to not see them close to each other and talking, it is a great sign of their competitive spirit that they both are dug in to win the job. It also could be Steve seeing things through biased eyes based on what he expects or hopes would happen. Confirmation bias is a normal, natural thing where someone is more likely to see what they expected to see then the realistic picture. Either way an interesting note to start out with.
Johnny Manziel took first 11 on 11 reps today vs 1's D; Brian Hoyer still being held back a bit by coaches/trainers
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) June 10, 2014
Ruiter notes an important issue in the QB competition: the Browns handling of Hoyer's recovery. Hoyer had been limited to only shotgun or pistol snaps so far which gave Manziel far more time leading the offense. Being cautious with Hoyer, while giving Manziel more time under center, is a smart play but could it cause problems for the coaching staff when making the big QB decision? Or does it mean the coaching staff already feels comfortable with what Hoyer can do and are giving Manziel more time to prove his abilities for the evaluation? The good news is that it is early in the process.
—->RT @GlennMooreCLE: Manziel having no trouble with deep pass tho. Finds Armstrong in stride 45 yards down field. #browns
— Josina Anderson (@JosinaAnderson) June 10, 2014
Chose to use the retweet from Anderson, of ESPN Fame, instead of the direct Glenn Moore tweet as it speaks to media coverage of Manziel. This tweet actually followed the next tweet but Anderson only chose to RT this one. The narrative that a media member has can skew the information they provided. The key word in Moore's tweet was "tho" as in this one is different then that one. Manziel is showing off his arm in training camp. He can hit players in stride on deep balls which will be even more beneficial if/when he gets to play with Josh Gordon.
Manziel is struggling with angle throws. Needs to improve; #Browns will use those a lot.
— Glenn Moore (@GlennMooreCLE) June 10, 2014
The trouble he is having "tho" is with "angle throws," a term that was processed between this writer and a few other Browns writers on Twitter, including Moore. What Moore is saying with these two tweets is that Manziel does well on the deep ball but is struggling with many of the other throws where players are coming on an angle. This could be a problem with timing, accuracy or seeing over the line, or a combination of all 3 for the young QB. Lets take a look at trying to understand what an "angle throw" is.
@RyInCBus @GlennMooreCLE @JaredKMueller Yep. & they're all thrown w/ the QB turning his body at an angle unless receiver is in front of him.
— Brendan Leister (@BrendanLeister) June 10, 2014
Brendan, who does a great job with DraftBrowns, wondered what many wondered, where did the term angle throw come from? It is clear that he and Ryan think every throw that is not a straight deep route, a 9 route, is an angle throw. From the description Moore gave it seems like he is talking more about hard breaking routes: posts, flags, slants, outs, etc. The type of throw that a QB needs to make as the receiver is planting their foot to make a cut. With that some non-angle throws are curls, 9 routes, dump offs to the flat and screen throws. Either way we still didn't get to the root of where that term came from, did Moore hear it from one of the coaches? Is it a term we will hear more often from camp?
Garrett Gilkey replacing Joel Bitonio at RG with the 1s #Browns
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) June 10, 2014
Garrett Gilkey is a offensive lineman to watch. Him replacing rookie Joel Bitonio is not a huge story in and of itself but coach Mike Pettine doesn't seem inclined to give jobs to players based on their draft spot or their salary. Expect a few players to either be cut or not be starters that will surprise many. Most teams value draft picks or free agent signings but Pettine's delivery has been clear that the best players will play. Gilkey and Bitonio may be the favorites for the 2 starting guard spots and give the Browns great depth on the interior of the line.
Versatile guy. No surprise. RT @RyInCBus: Pettine talking about cross-training LBs, including seeing Kirksey at outside backer. Interesting.
— Brendan Leister (@BrendanLeister) June 10, 2014
Another rookie and Pettine note here from Brendan and Ryan together. Pettine loves versatility. Jabaal Sheard will see some time as a down 3-4 defensive end, outside in a 4-3 set and standing up as the OLB in the base 3-4. Rookie Christian Kirksey, the expected starting ILB, will be used all over the field, possibly as a big safety at times as well. Pettine's goal is to put players in the best position to succeed, not just force them into his system. Exciting to see how all the defensive talent is used this season.
Thought on QBs – Hoyer makes reads/gets ball out much quicker & on target; Manziel reads slower, angle throws off & has some room to grow
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) June 10, 2014
And finally some evaluation of the QBs with Ruiter's not being a surprise. Manziel is learning a whole new way of playing QB from his college days. That leads to much more thinking and far less reacting. Hoyer on the other hand has experience in a number of offenses from his time with the Patriots, Cardinals and Steelers. His ability to pick up the offense and play in better rhythm isn't a surprise and would be a problem if it wasn't true. The real question is can Manziel make up the difference and how quickly?
My grade for Manziel today: C-. You can just see the difference between him and Hoyer. Hoyer light years ahead, IMO. #Browns
— Glenn Moore (@GlennMooreCLE) June 10, 2014
Finally Moore gives an actually grade to his Manziel evaluation, a C-. Much of the concerns that were noted with Manziel aren't about ability and are more about comfort level. That can change quickly as he picks up the offense but many will blame his off the field fun as the reason he is behind. Film study and time in the playbook is very important but nothing beats live snaps on the field. The coaching staff holding Hoyer back a bit to protect his knee will allow Manziel more time to catch up with live reps.
What information have you seen that was interesting or surprising from minicamp? If you are attending any sessions please let us know here or on Twitter.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference The Sun goes Web 2.0:
Whilst I have never been a fan of The Sun it must be said that its online section has always been fantastic. It can be (rightfully) argued that The Guardian is the more innovative and intelligent, but The Sun's mass market appeal cannot be underestimated when considering its effect on online news and the way the general public consumes it. 'Experts' continuingly comment on the death of old media (not to mention PR, advertising, family, society in general, etc) but The Sun's site shows how both traditional print and online news can co-exist and even complement each other, not just appealing to informed readers who are well aware of the intricate nuances of the internet (i.e. Guardian readers), but also to those that may not usually look on the internet for their information. It may be true that the BBC's online and offline news has successfully done this for years, but the Sun shows that it is also viable from a business perspective. Also, no other news site has Deidre's Video Casebook – I do hope the acting is ironic.
