Most people have several experiences with getting hired, promoted, or even fired from a job during their lifetime. Because of this, various federal and state laws have been passed in order to protect employees from facing discrimination during routine employment procedures. Despite the seemingly broad reach of both state and federal legislation, there are certain categories of discrimination that are notoriously absent from protection. Sexual orientation and gender identity are two of them. Currently, in 29 states, it is perfectly legal to fire, refuse to hire, or promote someone on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation. The same can be said about 33 states regarding gender identity protections- in those states, workplace discrimination on the grounds of gender identity are allowed by law. Connecticut is one of the few states that presently offers protection against discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity.
There are numerous federal laws that, at present, protect employees from facing discrimination in the workplace. The most sweeping of these protections is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Further, federal laws currently exist that protect employees from discrimination on the basis of age, disability status, and genetic information.
The Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) is the federal agency tasked with administering these laws, as well as adjudicating complaints made against employers. In addition to federal laws, 47 states have their own agencies tasked solely with adjudicating employment discrimination claims under relevant state law, as well as assisting and referring with claims made under federal law. In Connecticut, the state agency that handles discrimination claims is the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO). Anyone who feels that their rights have been violated at work; whether through hiring or termination procedures, harassment, retaliation, or denial of opportunities for advancement- can file a complaint with their appropriate state agency or the EEOC within 180 days from the date of the alleged discrimination.
Currently in Congress, there is a proposed measure to provide nation-wide protection against sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination, entitled the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). On November 4, 2013, ENDA cleared a major procedural hurdle in the U.S. Senate, garnering both Democratic and Republican support in order for it to pass the Senate three days later. Currently, the bill has been sent to the House of Representatives, where it will stay pending until the Speaker of the House decides to call it to the House floor for a vote. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that this will happen during the 2014 legislative session. Despite this bleak outlook, there is an opportunity for President Obama to issue an executive order banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity for all federal contractors. This would represent a significant step towards achieving a discrimination-free workplace for all.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Our take on the Jensen KS2400BP Enclosed Subwoofers 101 An enclosed subwoofer is a box with a subwoofer already installed. The advantage to buying an enclosed sub is that the manufacturer made the sub, then designed and built the box as a perfect match, so you'll get the best possible performance. Every enclosed sub has a maximum RMS power handling rating, so pair it with an amp with a similar RMS power rating to get the best performance. They'll hear you comin' when you hook up an amp to this dual 10" thumper. The new KS2400BP mounts two Jensen subs inside a stylish enclosure behind a cool Plexiglas window. Power handling is a hefty 125 watts x 2 channels.

Some highlights from our religion file in 2009
Here at Faithworld we sometimes like to draw the attention of our readers to many of the fine pieces of reporting on issues of religion and faith found in the wider Reuters' world. Here are just a few highlights from 2009 — and trust me, the list could be much longer:
FEATURE-Muslim revival brings polygamy, camels to Chechnya
Darwin debate rages on 150 years after "Origin"
Italian scientist reproduces Shroud of Turin
FEATURE-Ale and hearty: ageing Trappist monks brew on
FEATURE-Swine flu fears hit Saudi religious tourism
FEATURE-End of an era for the Amazon's turbulent priests
US author traces "evolution" of God
Generational shift for U.S. Hispanics on abortion
Recession-hit Asians pray for jobs, luck, recovery
WITNESS: Fleeing the Islamic sect that lived in our midst
Report on Shroud of Turin refers. The people who have financed this scientist had to come up according to the expectations of these people. I reject these findings. These people have made mess of this religion. These findings are coming from Italy, well quite funny.

Charles "Corky" Rogers' career as a high school football coach has spanned five decades, producing more wins than any other coach in Florida with 423 through the 2012 season. In 2011, Rogers became just the eighth coach in the history of high school football in the nation to reach 400 wins. Rogers ranks fifth nationally in career wins among active coaches. He has guided the Bolles football program since the 1989 season, helping the Bulldogs to compile the most state titles of any football program in Florida with 11. Rogers also holds the state record for state titles won among coaches with 10 and playoff victories with 73. He led the Bulldogs to a record-tying 14th state final appearance in 2012.
The 2010 Bolles varsity football team posted the program's fourth undefeated regular season in the last five years, won the 30th district title in program history, posted an overall record of 11-1, and advanced to the Region 1-2B Final.
The 2008 and 2009 seasons produced the first back-to-back state titles in program history, bringing Bolles' state football titles to ten. Rogers recorded his ninth state title as the Bulldogs' coach in 2009, increasing his lead in state championships among Florida coaches. Bolles posted a 12-1 record in 2009, winning the program's 29th district title along the way. The 2008 Bolles squad went undefeated, notching 14 victories.
In 2007, the varsity squad posted a 10-0 regular season record, winning the district title, their opening playoff game, and reaching the regional final. The 2006 season ended with Bolles' eighth state title in program history and Rogers' seventh as the Bulldogs' coach. Rogers tied the mark for most state titles among high school football coaches in Florida history. The team also posted a 14-0 record to go along with district and regional titles. In the 2005 season, he guided the Bulldogs to a 10-2 record, district championship title, and a region runners-up finish.
The 2004-05 academic year proved to be one of the most significant in Rogers' coaching career as he guided the Bulldogs to the School's seventh state title in football, became the all-time leader in wins among Florida high school football coaches, was inducted into the Florida High School Athletic Hall of Fame, and was named National High School Football Coach of the Year by the National High School Coaches Association. He also shared in the Bolles Athletic Program being selected the ninth best overall program in the nation by Sports Illustrated and the 2005 football squad being named one of the top 25 teams to watch in the nation by Street & Smith's.
Rogers has established this outstanding success by focusing on a single objective: developing his players into young men who possess the character-building skills necessary to win at football and life.
Nationally recognized by collegiate coaches for his skill in producing outstanding college football recruits, Rogers insists it is due to his team members' dedication. He requires them to play the game to the best of their abilities, maintain respect for their coaches and teammates, excel academically, participate in their communities, and make the right choices in every area of their lives.

Cellphone's Dead Lyrics - Beck
Review The Song (1)
Strange ways coming today
I put a dollar in my pocket
And I threw it away
Been a long time
Since a federal dime
Made a jukebox sound
Like a mirror in my mind
Control my worries
Fix my thoughts
Throw my hopes
Like a juggernaut walks
Now let-down souls
Can't feel no rhythm
Sorry entertainers
Like aerobics victims
Hybrid people
sponsored linksLight a wooded matchstick
Toxic fumes and the
Burning plastic
Beats are broken
Bones are spastic
Boombox talkin'
With a southern accent
Voodoo curses
Bible tongues
Voices comin'
From the mangled lungs
Give me some grits
Some get-down shit
Don't need a good reason
To let anything rip
Radio's cold
Solar's infected
One by one
I'll knock you out
God is alone
Hardware defective
One by one
I'll knock you out
Mr. Microphone making
All the damage felt
Like a laser manifesto
Make a mannequin melt
There's people phonin' in
Like it's unlimited minutes
Going through the motions
Just to savor they did it
Treadmill's running
Underneath their feet
So they feel like they're going somewhere
But they're not
So let's put boots
On the warehouse floor
Comin' to you
Like a rope on a chainstore
Throwing equipment
From a moving van
Grab a microphone
Like a utility man
Now fix the beat
Now break the rest
Make a kick drum sound
Like an S.O.S.
Get a tow-truck
Cause it's after dark
And the dance floor's full
But everybody's double-parked!
Cell phone's dead
Lost in the desert
One by one
I'll knock you out
Eye of the sun
Is out of its socket
One by one
I'll knock you out
One by one
This jam is real... that's right
Eye of the sun
Eye of the sun
Eye of the sun

Making the Jump From Public to Private
Chris Weaver and Tom Mahlik explain how they have translated public-sector experience into private-sector success
This constant intelligence gathering, and the concurrent analysis that leads to new knowledge, significantly heightens the leader's ability to understand risk on a broader scale, to see issues that are just over the horizon, and to prepare for those effectively. It also hones his or her skill in identifying sources, leveraging systems and finding relevant information quickly.
"In the private sector, however, many companies are only now just starting to understand and embrace the strategic value of the non-aggregated intelligence that exists in the business," Mahlik says. "While rigorous intelligence gathering may occur during a crisis at most companies, it is rarely considered in the normal state and may even be outsourced in certain instances."
"One of the things that inhibit long-range examinations in the private sector is the quarterly conference call with boards of directors and investors," explains Weaver. "When company leadership's main focus is improving quarterly and semi-annual revenue reports, it often leads management to make shortsighted decisions that increase short-term profits and stock value at the expense of longer-term efficiency and revenue. While profit is not unimportant, this kind of approach further amplifies vertical, rigid bureaucracy," he adds.
"It can be hard to persuade companies to think in broader terms about the role of intelligence — who collects it, and how it gets infused — because there's an immediate and recurring cost to build such a capacity internally," Mahlik says. "What's the risk of not meeting my numbers for this quarter? That's a tactical concern that could potentially, and often does, cloud longer-term operational strategies that could very well make the quarter-to-quarter risks easier to manage, predict and mitigate."
Developing new products, predicting the movement of the industry, tapping unique opportunities — none of these things can be done from a strictly tactical, profit-center outlook. A leader with public-sector experience, because of the nature of the government's long-term planning process, will likely contribute a leadership style that demands intelligence and advocates a strategic perspective. A company that puts someone in the position to do this well understands risk as a strategic issue and values its importance. That individual has a difficult challenge: to prevail over the short-term profit motives while still respecting the need for revenue building, and to instill a sense of longer-range integration over a period of time.
Succession Planning
One factor of long-range planning is succession planning — another valuable skill that public-sector leaders can bring. "In government it's paramount," says Mahlik. "Often you know who the next leader in line for command will be, and as a leader you are deliberately focused on mentoring, coaching, inspiring and closely watching a number of your subordinates or others in adjacent areas for promotion. A plan is always in play to prepare them to take the lead and give them the experience and opportunities to learn at the next level. This is a lesson that is not as formal or as pervasive as it should be in the private sector security business. And the lessons of the public sector are particularly fitting in today's industry when the costs to recruit, hire and on-board the best qualified talent are high and getting higher. Growing your own talent seems to be a wise and perhaps a more economical option," Mahlik adds.
Weaver is quick to point out, however, that while succession planning is crucial, it must be done correctly to be valuable. "There's a difference between building someone up as a successor and giving someone a job because they are next," he says. "The fact that you have 20 years of experience in the organization may only mean you have one year of experience 20 times. Knowing a company's culture through years of inside experience can be helpful, but it may not match the benefit of having new eyes and innovative approaches to similar goals. Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn't make it optimum for growth and transformation."
Companies need to be unafraid to hire outside the company if they want best of breed when the internal leaders are not there. A combination of internal and external experience may be the best recipe for success.

Last week, I wrote about details of a road trip back to my dad's hometown of Charleston, Ill., which I decided to do with him as his Father's Day gift. We visited the home he was born in and lived in until he was drafted into the Army in his 20s. My mom also grew up in Charleston and they moved up to the Chicago area in the mid-1960s. They've been back for several visits, but it's been a number of years since the last one. Two of my sons came along, and while I know they were a bit bored on some parts of the trip, I think they both appreciated the opportunity to take a road trip with us and see the place where their grandparents grew up.
I left off last week with our visit to the EIU campus where dad attended every year of his schooling. We visited his elementary school in Blair Hall, a private school where teaching students at the university were trained.
Next we moved on to Old Main, the original castle-looking structure that faces Lincoln Avenue. The building is amazing, inside and out. I couldn't wait to check it out. Dad's high school was located on the second floor until his senior year when classes were moved over to Blair Hall. He graduated in 1954 and the high school dissolved one year later.
I was so impressed with how well-maintained the 1899 structure was. The building houses mainly offices now, but one end of the second floor had a few intact classrooms and walking into one was like stepping back in time. There wasn't a hint of technology anywhere. Just desks, that looked to be about as old as me, a clock, a teacher's desk and an immaculate chalkboard and a wall-mounted pencil sharpener that was probably older than I am. Everything was in such wonderful condition and so clean. The bathrooms had what is probably original mosaic tile that was beautiful. I seriously don't think I have ever been in a cleaner public bathroom.
Next was a stroll on the grounds, which are just as pristine and well-kept as Old Main. Dad struck up conversation with the gardener, Larry, who was out planting. Dad and Larry got to talking about campus history. Larry pointed out a marker where Napoleon was buried. Dad knew immediately who Napoleon was, a big stray dog who hung around campus and was loved so much there's a memorial to him behind Old Main. Napoleon died in 1960.
Dad walked and talked until his feet were so sore that we had to head back to the car. He said that he also wanted to take a drive on the old Ill. 16 that ran outside the city to nearby Mattoon. He was trying to spot the farm his uncle once owned, but couldn't figure out exactly where it was. As we came up to a cemetery, he casually said, "Oh, that's the one my parents are buried in," So, I flipped on my turn signal, screeched to a halt and turned in. Dad wasn't sure where to find them other than the graves were near a road. So, I'd drive a little, get out and look. Just as we were about to give up, I saw a marker with "Clark" on it and there were his parents. He died in 1966 at age 67, she died in 1983 at age 81. They'd married in 1921. My dad said that because his father had been in the Army during World War I, he had a military marker originally, but their records were incorrect and his name was spelled wrong. So, when my grandmother died, a new headstone was laid with both of their names. Buried nearby were two aunts, two uncles and the niece of an uncle who died at a year old.
We headed toward Mattoon to get back on the expressway and decided to stop at The Burger King for dinner. Dad had mentioned before that Mattoon had a Burger King restaurant when he was growing up before the chain existed. In the '60s there was a disagreement over who could use the name and an agreement was reached that the Mattoon location could keep its name and a Burger King franchise wouldn't open within 20 miles of the Mattoon restaurant. The place is definitely full of nostalgia and the burgers definitely weren't made from frozen patties. We sipped on shakes, listened to the jukebox and were soon on our way back home, with lots of stories of long ago and memories of our day together.

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: Shawn MendesPosted on 09/05/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
Credit: Andrew Zaeh
If you aren't already smitten by singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, brace yourself. The Vine-star-turned-superstar-on-the-rise has stolen the hearts of many (in under six seconds, no less!) and is about to break out in a major way. We caught up with our brand new Fresh Artist to get exclusive details about his life on tour with Austin Mahone and The Vamps, his biggest influences, and so much more!
1. Congratulations on all of your recent success! What is a day in the life of Shawn Mendes like right now?
Wake up on a tour bus in a new city every day, find the nearest shower, head to radio station to say "Hello," grab some food, then meet some fans, then hit the stage. :-)
2. What was the inspiration behind your hit song "Life of the Party"?
The song is inspired by the feeling of not fitting in or not being comfortable with who you are. The lyrics basically say that you should be yourself and that you can be amazing regardless of whether you feel you fit in or not.
3. What's it like being on tour with TeenNick faves Austin Mahone and the Vamps? Has anything crazy or funny happened during your time together?
It's awesome and everyone is just so chill and relaxed and having a good time. We're always cracking jokes with each other behind stage. I'd say the craziest moment was getting chased by 400 fans at one of the first shows.
4. When you started recording covers on Vine and YouTube, did you ever think your music would spread as much as it has?
I really didn't think it would, I kind of just started doing it because I loved posting covers and then it just spiraled into this crazy thing as I kept posting. It's really beyond my expectations.
5. What do you think about the power of connecting with people in a six-second video?
It's so cool because in six seconds you have to really find something special in a song and impress people a lot to connect with them. I think that's been a big thing for me and my fans connecting.
6. Who are your biggest musical influences?
Definitely Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, just how he holds himself and such, and Bruno Mars is such an unbelievable performer.
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked Shawn a series of silly questions, and here are the first things that came to mind!
If you want to catch more of Shawn, head over to the TeenNick Top 10 page! And don't forget to tune in tonight at 10pm ET!
TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: Colette CarrPosted on 08/22/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
Credit: Jared Thomas Kocka
Colette Carr has a fuse, and it's about to go off. This sassy spitfire rapper is not afraid to use her voice to send a message, and that's exactly why she's our newest TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist. We caught up with the girl behind the hit song "HAM" to learn a little more about her background, her exciting career and how a certain Snow White costume used to be a staple of her wardrobe. (What?!) Check it out below!
1. As both a singer and a rapper, did you discover one talent before the other? Or have you always done both?
I discovered I could rap in high school when my ex-boyfriend decided he wanted to freestyle battle with kids after school. He was so ummmm...not great/terrible that I started ghost writing for him. I fell in love with free-styling and rap. I didn't know I could sing until I started working on my album "The Skitszo Collection". The first time I really sang was in the studio with FrankMusik recording songs like Killswitch, F16, Delusional, Hearsay & No ID.
2. What is one moment in your career so far that has made you wonder, "How did I get here?"
Anytime I'm on stage and the crowd gets their hands up without me even asking them to, or know the lyrics to my songs and sing/scream along it's like an out-of-body experience. I know exactly how I got here though, it's been a long, crazy, difficult journey. Definitely collaborating with guys like e40 and TechN9ne, legends I grew up listening to, bumping tracks in the studio with them, and having them feature on my songs because they love my sound, those moments are very surreal "how did I get here" moments.
3. You've cited Eminem as a musical influence. What do you admire most about him? Are there any other art forms that inspire you??
Eminem and Dr. Dre were the first hip hop artists I ever listened to, I was tiny and obsessed. I learned all the lyrics to the clean versions of their albums. The way Eminem tells his life stories and paints pictures with words that rhyme seamlessly, it's intimidatingly good, I can't get enough. I love all forms of art. On my days off I like to finger paint.
4. Many of your videos show off your fearless sense of personal style. How important is fashion when you're performing? Where do you get your style inspiration?
It's weird, I never think about "fashion" or clothes, or personal style. When I was in preschool I wore a Snow White costume with mix-matched Chuck Taylor's everyday, my mom was worried about me. I don't really think before I get dressed, I usually grab clothes in a hurry. I just throw on a Pikachu beanie, some sneakers and run out the door. When I write my video treatments I already know exactly what I want to look like to portray my lyrics or the overall mood of the song, so choosing the outfits is the easy part.
I hand made the cake dress for my "HAM" video, [and] I actually hand make and design a lot of the stuff I wear. Fashion is a form of expressing myself therefor it is important to me, although I wouldn't mind wearing a bath robe and pajamas everyday.
5. What are you looking forward to most in the next phase of your career? Is there any one thing you're determined to conquer?
I am MOST excited about continuing to tour and meet/hangout with fans/goers after my shows. I love being on stage and in the studio writing and creating. My favorite though, is making music videos! I can't wait to pick a single, record a music video for it and share it with the world. The next phase of my career will be epic. It will be better than chocolate Nutella on a warm piece of toast, mark my words. :)
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked Colette a series of silly questions, and here are the first things that came to mind!

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: Katy TizPosted on 08/08/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
Credit: Atlantic
It's official. We love Katy Tiz. She's a super talented songstress from the UK (currently holding it down in the U.S. of A), and if you haven't heard of her yet, listen up. Katy's hit single "The Big Bang" is a funky, sassy tune that's every bit '20s swing band as it is straight-up pop. Her voice is a perfect mix of Adele and Fergie, but at the same time something new and unforgettable. We caught up with our newest Fresh Artist to learn a little more about her background and career. Check it out below!
1. Congratulations on signing with Atlantic Records! After releasing music independently for some time, how does it feel to make it with such a big name label?
It's AMAZING!! I still wake up everyday and have a little scream... It can get a little awkward when I'm alone and walking down the street... ;)
2. You're originally from the UK but have recently been spending a lot of time around the US. What has been your favorite city to visit so far?
Wow! That's a hard one, I fell in love with Chicago, Seattle, San fransisco and many more! I'm so lucky to travel and get to visit all the places. I do love anywhere with high buildings. I'm all about a view.
3. What made you want to pursue music? Has singing always been your passion?
Music has always been a huge part of my life. It's helped me through some rough patches. I was a late bloomer at 18, but my dream is to help others the way music has helped me. This is what has made me chase my passion.
4. If you had the chance to do a musical collab with any artist, who would it be and why?
Hmmmmmmmm... Well I was lucky enough to go and see Justin Timberlake in concert this weekend [interview conducted in July] and he was incredible so I would have to say him! #fangirlmoment
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked Katy a series of silly questions, and here are the first things that came to mind!

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: Nico & VinzPosted on 07/25/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
By now you've probably cruised down the highway to Nico & Vinz's breakout single "Am I Wrong?" blasting through the speakers. Or maybe you've tapped your toes to its infections beat at a pool party. In whatever way this inspiring and totally danceable summer smash has soundtracked your summer, it's pretty obvious that this Norwegian hit-making duo is doing something so right.
But here's the thing: For Nico & Vinz, there's a lot more where that came from. We caught up with our new Fresh Artist to learn more about their debut album, their musical influences, and fun facts about their past! Check it out!
1. Coming from Norway, how does it feel to see your music spread across the globe?
It's almost indescribable. We're are having the time of our lives right now, trying to soak it all up. We always had a dream of having our music reach and touch people all over the world, and to see that dream happen is beyond amazing. We're truly grateful for the support and we're working to pay you back with the best music we can make!
2. Your sound has roots in African rhythms and textures, but with a Scandinavian pop twist. What do you think is most special about that unique combination of influences?
The most special thing about it is that it's very personal, it's Nico & Vinz. We figured that the best way to be unique, is to be yourself, because there's no one like you. So we started making music with that mentality and mixed our personalities and backgrounds in the music. Born and raised in Norway with parents from Ghana, Ivory Coast and Norway, influenced by the hip hop-culture.
3. Has music always been your main focus and passion? How did you two become a duo?
Nico wanted to be a professional soccer player and Vinz was studying before we decided to focus on music at the age of 20.
4. Can you remember the first album or record that made a lasting impression on you?
Nico: Nas Illmatic
Vinz: Dr. Dre 2001
5. For fans who are eager to hear more music from you, what can they expect in the coming months?
Right now we're in the midst of finishing up our debut album Black Star Elephant, which will be out during fall. The album is a story based on our journey from where we started to where we've come now. We are very excited about releasing it and we definitely feel like this is our best music so far!
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked nico & Vinz a series of silly questions, and here's what they had to say!

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: 5 Seconds of SummerPosted on 07/03/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
You know that anywhere, anytime music that just puts you in a good mood no matter what? Well, Aussie pop-punk band 5 Seconds of Summer are pretty much the poster boys for that kind of feel-good vibe. And chances are, you've already come across (and subsequently played on repeat) 5SOS's mega-hit "She Looks So Perfect." But we're here to tell you that Luke, Michael, Calum and Ashton are only getting started.
We caught up with our new Fresh Artist to learn a little more about their debut album which drops July 22nd, their experience on tour with One Direction, and the ultimate question: Boxers, briefs or tighty whities?
1. From your hit single "She Looks So Perfect" to your TV debut on the Billboard Music Awards, we can imagine the past few months of your career have been quite the whirlwind. What is the biggest difference in your lives right now compared to a year or two ago?
It's been a whirlwind! Four hours sleep a night, lots of air miles, lots of new cultures. Our love for touring remains the same, and we cannot wait to be back in America!
2. Your songs are very lyrically driven and clever. If you had to choose one line from one of your songs as your favorite, which would it be and why?
If Hollywood could see me now
I'd get the starring role
But they won't so I'll just keep on acting a fool
From "Heartache on the Big Screen"
3. Having been on tour with One Direction, what have you learned from the band that has helped you with your own career?
They work so hard, and have shown us that by working hard you can achieve big things no matter where you are from.
4. What is one of the craziest things a fan has ever done for you?
[One fan] bought us a star. It was called the A155 Star in the Milky Way...
5. Your debut album drops in July! In three words, can you describe what fans can expect from the album?
High energy rock!
6. And finally, what is one thing in America that you wish you had in Australia?
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked 5 Seconds of Summer's Ashton Irwin a series of silly questions, and here are the first things that came to mind!

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: The VampsPosted on 06/17/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
If you're not from the U.K., there's a chance that your ears have yet to stumble upon the sweet sounds of British pop-rock quartet, The Vamps. These fresh-faced lads are not only perfectly well-coiffed crooners, they're also masters of catch-as-heck tunes that basically inspire impromptu dance parties.
The Vamps are breaking out in a major way, and we are SUPER excited to have them join the distinguished roster of TeenNick Top 10's Fresh Artists! To get you up to speed on all of their awesomeness, check out our exclusive interview with the boys below. And don't forget to tune in to see more The Vamps on TeenNick Top 10, this Friday, at 10pm ET!
1. You guys have a pretty cool story about coming together as a band. Exactly how did The Vamps come to be? Did you ever think you'd get to where you are today?
We all met through YouTube. James was the first, he found Brad. They did some writing together and got on really well. Then they were shown videos of Tris drumming by a mutual friend and started putting covers on YouTube. The three of them got signed but they wanted to find someone else so they could be a full band. That's when I [Connor] joined!
2. Who are some of your musical influences?
The Kooks, Taylor Swift, Arctic Monkeys, and Green Day.
3. When you're not on tour or in the studio, what do you do for fun as a band?
We normally spend our days off outside exploring, depending on where we are. If it's cold and wet then we hit the gym and watch films. Brad is normally in the bath!
4. If you could collaborate with any musician, past or present, who would it be and why?
We all think Ed Sheeran would be great. His acoustic style could work really well with ours. Plus, he's such a nice dude.
5. What is one little known fact about the band that might surprise your fans?
We worked out the other day that our "home" venue is actually the O2 Arena in London, which holds 18,000 [people]. We've played it seven times in our first year, which is pretty crazy. Also, Connor used to be an astronaut.
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked The Vamps a series of silly questions, and here are the first things that came to mind!

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: RixtonPosted on 03/11/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
If you've never heard of Rixton, let us enlighten you: The four-piece pop-punk outfit comprised of Jake, Danny, Charley, and Lewi, hail from Manchester, UK and have a sunny sound that is every bit roll-your-windows-down and cry-your-eyes-out good.
The guys came on to the scene with a viral video for their song "Make Out" which parodied a few iconic videos (oh, you know, from like Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Miley Cyrus) but they're about to make some serious waves all on their own. Each of the four lads sings, they all play instruments, and they've got personality for DAYS. Check out our exclusive Q&A with the latest Fresh Artist below!
1. If you had to describe your sound in three words that begin with the letter "S" what would they be?
Sexy. Sultry. Super.
2. Every single member of the band sings. How do you think that sets you apart from other acts? Have you ever done an impromptu a cappella performance?
It shows our overall musicality. One of the songs on our album is a capella.
3. What was it like opening up for Justin Bieber at Brooklyn's Barclays Center with just 24 hours' notice? Did you even have time to get nervous?
It was mad!
4. What is one moment so far in your career that's made you wonder, "How did we get here?"
We met Tom Hanks and Will Smith recently. We all look up to those men and being in their presence was immense!
5. In addition to your original music, you've made a name for yourself on YouTube with brilliant covers of popular songs. Of the famous artists you've covered, with whom would you like to collaborate most?
We'd love to work with Drake.
6. The last question's for Lewi: You're rarely seen without your backpack on, so what's in it?
You'll never know!
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked Rixton a series of silly questions, and here's the first thing that came to mind!

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: New PoliticsPosted on 02/24/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
If you thought Denmark's greatest gift to the United States was the country's delicious namesake puff pastry, then think again. New Politics are a three-piece band who burst on the scene after relocating from their hometown of Copenhagen to the artistic paradise of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and have since won many international hearts! The Danish-bred lads serve a unique blend of pop-tinged punk, and their performances are full of energy, heart, and even acrobatics. Check out our exclusive Q&A with our brand-new Fresh Artist below!
1. You're originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, but have since relocated to Brooklyn, New York. Have any music influences traveled with you from Denmark to the States?
Yes. We are very influenced by American and British music, but we also have our own Scandinavian music that has influenced us, as well.
2. You're currently on the Harlem, USA Tour and will eventually gear up for the Monumentour this summer with Fall Out Boy and Paramore. What's the best part about being on tour?
Meeting all of awesome fans. And playing our music every night. Touring with other bands is always inspiring and keeps us working hard.
3. David, you incorporate break-dancing into a lot of your live shows, and it's featured in your video for "Harlem." How did you get into break-dancing? How has the break-dancing culture and/or Harlem influenced your sound?
I got into break-dancing as a kid with my friends in Copenhagen. I fell in love with it and never stopped. Dancing has always been a part of New Politics and, yes, I am heavily influenced by all dancing cultures. It was surreal visiting Harlem because it is one of the birth places if hip-hop.
4. What's the best and/or weirdest thing that's ever happened at a New Politics show?
There are so many crazy things that happen on the road. Pinpointing one thing is hard. But if we had to pick one the best moments was performing on Jimmy Fallon. It was so unreal being on that stage with Jimmy Fallon to the right of us and the Roots to the left. Mind blowing!
5. If you could collaborate with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
We all have different people we would love to collaborate with. A few of them would be John Lennon, Kurt Cobain or Elvis Presley.
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked New Politics a series of silly questions, and here's the first thing that came to their mind!
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: Vanilla
ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONG: Billy Jean
TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS: Tattoos
FAVORITE PLACE TO PLAY: Las Vegas
PRE-SHOW RITUAL: A good nights rest, and our dis-harmonic circle we do before we play.
ULTIMATE COLLABORATION: Dave Grohl, Pharell Williams, Max Martin
ZOMBIE OR VAMPIRE?: Zombie
WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY YOU IN MOVIE?: Will Ferrell
IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: Flying

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: EchosmithPosted on 12/20/2013 by TeenNickBlogger
Every once in a while, a band will come along and make you want to know everything about them. So let the YouTube stalking commence, y'all, because we are officially obsessed with TeenNick Top 10's newest Fresh Artist, Echosmith (and think you should be, too).
The indie-pop band of siblings, otherwise known as Jamie, Noah, Graham and Sydney Sierota, burst onto the scene this year with their debut album, Talking Dreams. We caught up with Echosmith to get some exclusive insight on their unique sound, their already blossoming career, and what lies ahead for the new year! Check it out below!
Congratulations on your incredible debut album Talking Dreams! How many months (or years) was it in the making?
Thank you! We are so very proud of it. Really, we've been working our entire lives up to this moment, releasing our first record. We spent two years writing specifically for it, and eventually came to the 12 [songs] on the record. We learned a ton while preparing and writing for this record.
You've cited several (awesome) 80's rock bands like Joy Division and The Smiths as your influences. What sort of influences contribute to the pop half of your indie-pop sound?
We love pop songs. Peter Gabriel is a huge influence on us, as is Coldplay and Fleetwood Mac. They all wrote/write such amazing pop songs, and it's something that we try our best to do as well.
Your single "Tonight We're Making History" was featured in a promo for the Summer Olympics on NBC. What was that experience like? Was that one of the first defining moments of your career?
Having our song on the Olympics was such a fun experience. It was our first time hearing ourselves on television, making it a very momentous occasion.
What is your songwriting process like? Does one person typically come to the rest of the group with ideas, or do you collaborate differently every time?
It changes per song. We don't force rules [or make] it only come from one person. We love getting different points of view and working on them together. We think it gives each song a different mood.
Many of your songs deal with universally relatable things like love, acceptance, and growing up. "Cool Kids," in particular, talks about the tough parts of adolescence. What message did you hope to send with that song?
"Cool Kids" is a story of feeling alone and being an outsider. We think it's a feeling that we all go through at times in our lives, and is a very difficult subject to talk about. With this song, we wanted to let out in the open that feeling, but also the hope past it. Often times, those [people who] have everything, have very little. There are so many beautiful unique things about us all, and we should show it. That was our message with "Cool Kids."
What was your favorite part about being on the Warped Tour 2013? Did you become close with any of the other bands?
We loved Warped Tour. Overall it was such a different experience for us [because] only our guitarist had been, and that was only once. We jumped right into a world that we really never experienced before. We got to meet so many amazing people through it. We made friends with bands like Alvarez Kings, Hands like Houses, Tonight Alive and pretty much everyone else.
Now that you've released your album, what's next for Echosmith?
Touring! We love playing live, and that has been an amazing way of getting our music out to people. So you can expect plenty of shows, and I'm sure we will always be writing through it all.

TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: AJRPosted on 12/05/2013 by TeenNickBlogger
Alright, let's state the obvious: sibling boy bands have been around for a minute. In the '90s we swooned over the golden-locked Hanson brothers, and the early aughts brought on the global sensation that was Jonas. But there's a new brotherly trio on deck, and they're ready to separate themselves from their (albeit legendary) predecessors.
Meet AJR: the three-piece indie-pop outfit comprised of, logically, Adam, Jack and Ryan. They're already armed with an impressive YouTube following and a smash hit (which, BTW, features our very own pineapple-dwelling, squarepantsed sea sponge), but AJR are about to make even more noise…and we're not just talking about annoying neighbors from their New York City living room. We caught up with the boys to talk about their growing career, their songwriting process, and what it's like to be in a family band!
How do you collaborate on music? Does one of you primarily write most of the songs, or is it a joint effort?
We've been working together for such a long time that the writing and production of the music has become very smooth. Ryan is the primary writer and producer, but the process of creating music is very much a collaborative one. After eight years of developing AJR, we all have a shared vision of the type of band we want to be, and the type of impact we want to have on the industry.
How has growing up in New York City influenced your sound?
New York City is such an icon for singer/songwriters like Simon and Garfunkel and Leonard Cohen, and even for contemporary artists like Vampire Weekend and Fun.; some of our inspirations. We're born and bred in this city, and it inspires our aesthetic as a band, our lyrics, and even the industrial electronic elements of our sound.
Your track "I'm Ready" samples SpongeBob Squarepants. How did you decide to include that?
Jack came up with the idea to use the Spongebob sample in a dubstep song. He brought it up to us by saying, "someone like Skrillex should sample Spongebob," and our next thought was, "why couldn't we do it?" Spongebob was a big part of our childhood, and we thought that it was a cool little throwback to our fan-base's childhood too.
Your music has an awesome ability to be both fresh and eclectic but also undeniably catchy. Do you look to different eras and genres for inspiration?
Thanks so much. That's a big reason the Beach Boys are such an inspiration to us; they were able to create music that was musically sophisticated, but present it in a catchy, sing-along-able way that was accessible to the public. To answer your question: yes, we take huge influence from the music of the 1950's and 60's and combine those influences with modern and innovative production.
Some of your songs feature what you call "spokestep." Can you tell us a little more about what that is and how you use it in your music?
Spokestep is a sort of sub-genre we're developing, and we've sprinkled it into a bunch of the tracks you'll hear when the album drops. The sound of dubstep is created by taking a distorted bass-line and messing with it over a beat. This can mean cutting the audio up, or putting filters on it. We thought we could take that same approach with vocal melodies: and that's essentially what spokestep is.
You guys are getting ready to release your album independently. What advice would you give other artists who release their music without the help of a major label?
The worst advice we ever got was to try and be like other artists. We've been in so many meetings over the years where we were advised to be more like the popular bands of the time. I think that an advantage of going the indie route is that we're our own bosses, and we can be very authentic in our music, our images, and our videos. So the best advice we can give to another artist is: develop and showcase the unique parts of yourself.
Out of the three of you, who is the most likely to goof around when you're rehearsing?
Jack is probably the most likely to goof off. It's good to have that kind of energy around though; it can get really intense working in a little apartment like ours.
What's the best part about being in a band with your brothers?
It's great to be able to be perfectly honest with each other. For us, the workday doesn't end at 5pm. We are constantly pushing ourselves forward, and an important part of this growth is being honest with each other about all aspects of the band.
AJR, everybody! There's only one question left: what will their fan army name be? AJRmy?! (Don't lie, that's pretty good.)

open assignment for class~ I chose to try and take on a scene from Macbeth in a modern perspective. (I don't consider the piece quite finished but I doubt I'll have time to refine it more any time soon)
"The weird sisters, hand in hand,
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go about, about:
Thrice to thine and thrice to mine
And thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace! the charm's wound up."

Well one example: Amazon forked Android completely, they don't answer to Google at all. In theory any OEM can do this, but most don't think its worth the effort arguably because Android is royalty-free anyway. If Google started charging even $1 per device for Android I think a lot of the big OEMs would suddenly have a change of heart.
Another example is the Nokia X for that matter, which is a pretty interesting situation.
That, and other hints, indicate that Google doesn't have much control over the platform anymore and they may have to do something about it.
Interesting times.

Patents have pages and pages of details and diagrams and flowcharts filed with the US Government. Not sure what 'vague' means here.
You can flowchart all you want, this kind of patent is ridiculous, and any body of laws that enables me to file such a patent should self-ignite in shame.
I'll be the first to say that Google is the one trolling the software industry (among other things), but that doesn't justifies the indiscriminate use of patents to fight back.

No. It detonated like hydrogen detonates.
With the Hindenberg, the fire spread through the ship at 50 metres per second. That's 110mph - four times faster than a gasoline explosion in an ordinary gas engine.
If those numbers are accurate, then the Hindenburg couldn't possibly detonate. At most it deflagrated.

Tax avoidance is a way to be UN-patriotic. It is "wrong". It will be illegal when reason takes hold.
That's pretty much the argument about the "spirit of the law".
Or even the lesser "law of the spirits": you don't show up at a BYOB party with a miniature.(protesting "hey, it is a bottle" will not help your case, nor your coccyx).

I guess a watch might be a step but I was thinking of some future as yet just abstract device.
Lets see what a watch could bring beyond a phone?
I guess touching our skin would allow it to gain some basic information from our bodies.- temperature, ongoing pulse, as well as changes in our body that somehow permeate through to the skin.
A gyro could monitor our activity.
We should also get all the benefits of a fitbit type device.
I'm sure Cortana could do something interesting :
Scenario 1: Pulse high but gyro indicates little movement:, or maybe just pulse erratic - I might want Cortana to text someone close to me?
Scenario 2: (Assuming that the watch measures external air temperature as well as my own): I might want an alert if there was a significant change from my body temperature as compared and correlated to air temperature?
Scenario 3: I didn't go for my daily run the previous day - I might want some encouragement from Cortana (don't forget I am a geek)
I'm sure there are many more ...
Would that be sufficient to make you wear a device that needs recharging at night? I may be not enough of a geek, but my patience with chargers is running real low these days.
@DaveWill2: +1
Also, it's hard to believe that governments don't have more creative ways to pressure companies into paying what's due.

Public opinion was calling for sanctions and bombs against the Syrian bad guys. Still does, except that now they aren't the same bad guys.
And it looks like we'll get to cheer for Iran doing the dirty work in Iraq while the west provides air support. Of course it's the same Iran that was allegedly helping insurgents against UN troops, and making nuclear bombs to pave Israel.
In the meanwhile, the aftermath of that Arab Spring we were so happy to have fueled (bombs included), looks more and more like a serious sh*tstorm.
I don't expect the west to learn wisdom, nor patience. But at least we should learn to wait slower.

It seems that the BYE week was good for the health of some of the San Diego Chargers. Donald Butler still is not on the practice field, but players that were on the sideline last week were able to make their return.
King Dunlap suffered a concussion in the last game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he was able to get onto the field for practice. Nice to have the big tackle back on the left side for the team. Hopefully he will be able to stay healthy for us though. He has already gone down a couple of times this season.
Chad Rinehart is finally back at left guard for us. He was out with a toe injury, but he was able to join in on practice today. Johnnie Troutman did a solid job as the starter while he was out.
Jarret Johnson was back on the practice field today also. He had sat out the last couple of games with a hamstring injury, but he participated in practices last week and looked like he would be able to rejoin the team in Jacksonville. He should be on the field against the Redskins on Sunday.

"ALL Inn.": Building Alberta's Social Innovation Environment
The harsh reality is new ways of doing things in an old system typically yields old results. It's akin to planting a flower in the middle of a desert. Embracing the recommended core disciplines ('action', 'learning' and 'leveraging'), guided by new mindsets ('co-creation', 'electric judo' and 'systems health') and an ecosystems approach presents the best chance of producing the culture change we need, serving the goals of the government, and maximizing the potential of the SIE for all Albertans.
Perhaps the crux of the matter was addressed in one question within the consultation documents: "How can we leverage ALL types of innovation?"
The acronym for "action", "leveraging" and "learning" added to "innovation" could be "ALL Inn."
This could be Alberta's rallying cry and represent:
• Innovation will be everywhere.
• Innovation includes everyone/everyone has a role.
• Alberta is committed to the innovation agenda.
We applaud the Alberta Government for taking the bold step of creating a Social Innovation Endowment. As a partner in this work, we see ourselves as accountable for doing all we can to ensure the success of the SIE in Alberta and championing its future. We believe that Government should hold the social innovation sector to high account as a partner in this work and empower it to do the work needed so that all Albertans may benefit from the opportunities that social innovation holds.
If the SIE is to achieve its ambitious, arguably audacious, goal of solving 'wicked problems', Alberta will have to go "ALL Inn.".read more

Focusing on the 'how to': emergent philanthropy debate must evolve
As a small and relatively new private foundation, we were intrigued by Kania, Kramer & Russell's discussion of an emergent philanthropy framework. While our initial debates focused on the 'newness' and the key elements highlighted in their article were theoretically interesting, we were more attracted to the 'how to' elements outlined in the 'How to move to an emergent model' section.
For us, the authors' move away from their views on strategic philanthropy does not mean that emergent philanthropy loses its own requirement to be strategic. Rather, it honours the notion that the shift from predictive to emergent models requires different processes, communication and cultures to ensure that we can describe the impact of what we are doing.
To this end, the ultimate potential of the article lies in its attempt to explain how emergent philanthropy can be done. Sadly, this does not seem to be the focus of much of the discussion that has occurred. This strikes us as a squandered opportunity. Imagine the incredible value of all the organizations that participated in this debate talking about 'co-creating strategy', 'working the attractors' and 'improving system fitness' – do they embrace these elements, what has worked, what hasn't, what have they learned? We are sharing our story in the hopes that it inspires more experienced foundations to join a discussion of the 'how to' aspects of the article.read more
Key Elements of a Federal Government Social Enterprise Strategy
At its core, social enterprise embodies two elements: the passion for addressing social challenges and the generation of market-based revenues in support of that social purpose. Regardless of whether the social enterprise is an individual or an organization, regardless of their choice of incorporation – non-profit or for-profit, these two elements are the driving force.
Those two elements aren't just identifiers. It is the conjunction of those two elements, bringing together the power markets and social purpose, which is at the heart of the incredible promise of social enterprise. While it has always been assumed that business activity produces an indirect benefit to its community (e.g. through employment and tax revenue), social enterprise brings the power of 'social' more deeply into the business world, daring to ask what profits could be made and advances could be achieved if businesses embedded in their value propositions a commitment to directly solve the world's biggest and most perplexing social challenges. For social organizations, social enterprise brings the power of markets to make them more financially sustainable and take their social impact to the next level.read more

Journey To Venice - Photo shoot
Here is a the second look from this shoot.
Makeup - Myself, Shonagh Scott Photography - Martin Higgs Retoucher - Stefka Pavlova Model - Zarah, Lenis Model Management
For a list of products, please hang tight as I'll be uploading a video tutorial on this!
Please subscribe to my channel to be notified of when it goes live: www.youtube.com/smiles2310
Here are some behind the scenes images of my Amphibian makeup look.
You can see a close up of the paper eyelashes I made, with the lace & crystals added on.
Also, the pieces I made for the head from foam paper. After cutting to shape I airbrushed all the pieces creating a gradient, then I glued all the crystals & beads on, added lace behind all the cut out sections, and finally I placed in some tacking pins at the edges to create spiked looking accents.
In the middle you can see the makeup after I applied all the pieces, before shooting. And on the left is a before & after of the model!
This image was used for the front cover of Scratch Magazine!
Behind the scenes image of makeup I created on a shoot I did with two of the models from Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model! *Pop Art* inspired
I did a creative makeup workshop with some students on a makeup course here in the UK.
I selected some images from my portfolio to demo for the girls. Here is one of the looks I showed them using an airbrush.
I'm demoing this mask makeup that I created for a photo-shoot a few months back, this week at a local makeup college. It's so much fun doing this look, check it out and let me know if you would don this on Halloween or even to the cinema to watch a film such as The Avengers! I love it when people dare to go all out just for fun :D
Makeup I created on this eve's creative dance photo-shoot.
The makeup for this type of shoot needs to be intense in order to still be visible as the shots are taken from a distance to fit the whole body in. www.facebook.com/showmemakeup www.youtube.com/smiles2310
Here is a quick look I created yesterday for a feather & latex shoot.
Blue gradient lips using a LimeCrime lipstick in the centre, and a Blue pout paint from Sleek around the outer edge of the lips.
For the eyes, it's a simple look. I didn't want anything to precise or neat, so I used a splayed out brush and dragged Black face paint up and out around the eyes. I made a stencil with tiny hole in and sprayed through it using my airbrush. I filled in the centre of the lids with the same Black face paint, and sprayed over it with my airbrush for a more opaque look. Then I added a hint of watery blue to the edges, using the same technique.
I placed some AB Flip Swarovski crystals at the corners just to spruce it up a bit. Feather lashes added to match the feathers in the outfit - Done!
Tree Frog Inspired makeup creation.
Martin Higgs often gives me challenges when it comes to makeup - this being one of them! So after receiving some tree frog images from Martin, I came up with this look!
I used some coloured pencils as the base of these bright colours. Then I layered brightly coloured eyeshadows and then finished off using my Dinair Airbrush over the top to create this look.
*Model - Hannah Nicholls
*Photography - Martin Higgs
*Makeup - Me
*Retoucher - Stefka Pavlova
Last look of today! Finally decided to use the mask idea that I created on myself for a shoot. I used my airbrush and Kryolan 'airstream' colours.
Raw image from the Fire & Ice shoot I did the makeup for.
As the hair was crimped and put up in a flame shape, I wanted to emphasise the "flames" by carrying the makeup up from the eyes, into the hair, mimicking the wave of a flame.
I used my Dinair airbrush to get a graduated colour.

JETSerious will bring you inside the defensive film room and dissect plays from the beginning to end…. each and every Wednesday. We'll look at what the Jets defense did right and wrong for each play.
The 49ers shutout at Metlife Stadium had plenty of more bad plays than good…. but what went wrong?
Let's start with the end around to WR Mario Manningham…
The 49ers line up in a 2 WR set, along with 2 TE's, and Frank Gore in the backfield.
The Jets are lined up with 4 down linemen, and anticipate a Frank Gore run up the middle.
CB Ellis Lankster is lined up as the nickel/slot DB, with Bart Scott and David Harris playing LB.
Frank Gore attracts a lot of attention up the middle. Mario Manningham comes from the top of the screen and takes the handoff on an end around.
49ers QB Alex Smith does a good job keeping his back to the defense. This makes it harder for the Jets to read the play and attack the ball.
CB Kyle Wilson (circled white above) runs across the field to continue with his man. It would actually be a good thing if his man got the reverse… but he doesn't. Now, Wilson is totally out of position to make a play. Also, this gives the Jets less margin for error– like a missed tackle.
You can tell in the picture above, the d-linemen and linebackers are sucked into the backfield. This ends up being a good thing for the 49ers, as their OL tries to set the edge.
To the 49ers credit, they did a great job creating a lane for Manningham to do his work. Ellis Lankster (bottom left in pic above) only has one option —> to try and cut off Manningham inside. If he goes back outside, he'll have to turn his hips and he'll be out of position.
The two missed tackles (left) are inexcusable.
This play is reminiscent of the C.J. Spiller breakout run in week 1. Two Jets tried to make a tackle, simultaneously, and the runner breaks through the both of them. These monster runs are starting to add up and really hurt the Jets this season. They're ranked at the bottom of the league when it comes to rush defense…. and this is a "Rex Ryan Defense".
Rex has to reiterate to the team about the importance of tackling. If the tackle was made back at the 45 yard line, the 49ers wouldn't be in field goal range.
Instead he gets to the 30.
David Harris (circled white) makes a hell an of effort, tracking Manningham down from across the field. LaRon Landry looks like he's running the wrong way, but really, he's containing area.
Overall, this was a weak play for the Jets defense.
Grade: D – hey, they did prevent the touchdown.
