NEW ORLEANS - Mike rides up on a cruiser bicycle with a Colt 45 in hand and approaches Simond.
"You got any cucumbers?" Mike asks him. Before receiving an answer, he is strolling earnestly through the rows of trellises.
"That one," he says, pointing to a particularly fat one. I ask him how he's going to eat it.
"With salt and pepper and my pocket knife," he says. "And maybe a little cayenne." ... READ MORE

Day two started early, 7:00am shuttle into Stanford's campus. As soon as the busses arrived, everyone piled into the Arrillaga Alumni Center to grab their seats. Secretary of State John Kerry was giving the opening remarks to kick off Thursday.
His speech started off with a pretty lighthearted tone, and to my surprise Kerry has a pretty savvy sense of humor. One of the prevailing themes in the story was that entrepreneurs have a large responsibility to build our businesses with a social impact mindset. This isn't to say that you shouldn't prioritize your social conscious over profitability of the business, but rather look at innovative ways to do well for yourself by doing good. Kerry further echoed that entrepreneurs don't just have a responsibility to aid economic development, but also a responsibility to foster socio-economic stability...READ MORE
When entrepreneur Amna Shah was on the road a lot for business, she'd often get a customer's business card, which eventually went in a pile on her desk.
But when she needed that contact again, she was on the road and the business card was rendered useless in the stack on her Rolodex. "I would wish I had them in my phone already," she said.
That made her wonder—what if there was an app that allowed people to swap contact info via phone? There are some apps that allow users to scan business cards and then store the information, but Shah said they are often glitchy.
She wanted to create something better and easier...READ MORE

In this new series for HARK, Brooke Sauvage will be exploring a New Orleans phenomenon known as the Side-Hustle, where entrepreneurship intersects with creativity and necessity.
"Even my side-hustle has a side-hustle."
I don't recall exactly where I first heard this in New Orleans, or who I heard it from, but now it rings constantly in my ears. I regurgitate the phrase nearly any time anyone asks the increasingly farcical question, "what do you do?"
I do a lot of things, I tell them. And then depending on how much I like them, I rattle my activities off in order of most societally acceptable (read: most profitable) to most neo-bohemian (least profitable). If I'm feeling sassy, I include 'regular toothbrushing' in my roster of responses...READ MORE
Walking up to the opening ceremony, we saw some forest green helicopters flying overhead. Not regular choppers, the Apaches that look like the aircraft in Avatar. I pick up my lanyard and credentials at registration, and theres a device called a Poken attached. Its a NFC (Near Field Communication) device that allows you to 'handshake' the tiny white hand with any other attendee. The tiny hand unplugs to present a USB port that gives you access to all the handshakes you had that day with timestamps, names, titles, and contact info available in your web based dashboard.
The closer we get to the entrance, we get stopped to let a line of black cars through John Kerry gets out. For some reason I immediately thought, 'he was just leading nuclear anti-proliferation negotiations, and now he's here talking about the importance of entrepreneurship. What a cool job'...READ MORE

The Saints open the season at home, thankfully, and will host the bitter rival Atlanta Falcons. It's been Falcons hate month(s), not Falcons hate week, but as the game nears we're definitely zeroing in our strong distate for the visitors. The Falcons had a quiet preseason that didn't showcase much in terms of their talent, much like the Saints to a degree. Here's how the Falcons look:
Matt Ryan is back with his now cap crippling salary and some nice weapons to surround himself with. It's odd, the Falcons on paper are a terrific offense and the Saints last year was horrific defensively, but the Saints defense always seems to do a decent job of slowing down this offense. Even last year at their worst, the two game swing against the Falcons had really good defensive moments. Tony Gonzalez is back at tight end in his final season, while Julio Jones and Roddy White remain the scary tandem at receiver. Steven Jackson is the new back, replacing Michael Turner, in what Falcons fans think will be a major upgrade. The Falcons also have a nice X factor change of pace back in Jacquizz Rodgers and a solid left side of their offensive line. If there's a weakness, though, it's the right side of their line and that's what the Saints will need to attack preferably straight up without blitzing. Cam Jordan, Junior Galette and company will have to do a good job exposing that. Matt Ryan get rid of the ball quickly and takes advantage of the size of his receivers to throw them open off the line of scrimmage quite often. The offense works to draw the defense in that way, along with their run game, to then beat you vertically with White and Jones' speed. The key to slowing down this offense is to shut down the run game, something the Saints have done well against this team in recent years. This will be no different. If the Saints can get the Falcons in obvious passing downs, they can get pressure on the right side. Losing Tyson Clabo and Todd McClure in the offseason was a hit for this offensive line which now has holes.
The Falcons 4-3 alignment has a decent front four, but gone is John Abraham's double digit sacking contribution. Replacing him is an aging Osi Umenyiora who is still dangerous but more containable than years past. The Falcons have talent in the linebacking core and secondary, but nothing amazing, and the Saints can expose the lack of experience at cornerback. Desmond Trufant, a rookie, is starting and the Falcons also have a rookie at nickel (Robert Alford). This will be an opportunity for Colston, Moore and Jimmy Graham to work the slot mercilessly. The Falcons are not great at stopping the run, and without Abraham they're not great at rushing the passer. With Dunta Robinson gone at corner they are even weaker. The Saints can move the ball and score points on their defense as long as they take care of the football and don't have a turnstile at right tackle as they did the last time these two teams faced.
Matt Bryant has been a little banged up in practice this week so we'll see if he's compromised at all, but he always seems to kick well against the Saints. He's made 21 of his last 22 attempts playing against the Saints, which is just a sickening stat. He's due for an easy miss if you ask me. Matt Bosher, the punter, was also extremely good last season. Jacquizz Rodgers is the kick returner and Harry Douglas is the punt returner. Those two should scare us because the Saints' coverage units have been atrocious for a while now. So basically any returner should scare us. Hopefully they get that corrected starting now, but no Courtney Roby doesn't exactly comfort me.

Dell Streak Android tablet
The Dell Streak is designed to hit a 'sweet spot' between smartphones and tablets. But will it be able to challenge Apple's iPad?
- Slim design, build quality, excellent display, ease of use, access to Android market, excellent Web browsing and video playback
- Outdated Android 1.6 OS, uncomfortable to carry in jeans pocket, glossy screen doesn't have great visibility in direct sunlight
Bottom Line
The Dell Streak is an easy to use tablet-cum-smartphone that benefits from the simplicity of the Android OS. Unfortunately, this hybrid device feels unfinished due to the older Android 1.6 operating system it runs, and its odd size may make it too big for a phone yet too small for a tablet. Ultimately, the Dell Streak is an impressive, lust-worthy gadget but we can't justify shelling out for it just yet. Watch this space.
Price$ 649.00 (AUD)
Special Offers
Dell Streak: multimedia
The Dell Streak's screen is ideal for watching videos and the 1GHz CPU supplies plenty of power under the hood to ensure they display smoothly. The screen is bright and has very good contrast, though the glossy finish does tend to reflect light and can be distracting while outdoors. We particularly liked the Streak's media gallery — it features a scrollable timeline and displays 18 thumbnails on the screen at any one time, making it relatively easy to sort through large photo or video collections. The flexibility of the Android platform means you can download alternative music and video player applications from the Android market.
The Dell Streak includes a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and a dual LED flash, and it is capable of recording video. Unfortunately, it is not HD video — the iPhone 4 can record 720p HD video and the HTC Desire will soon receive an update to allow it to do the same. The Streak also has a front-mounted camera that can be used for video calling and still photography.
If you transfer a lot of movies over to the Dell Streak you can use an optional dock to connect to a TV. The dock has an HDMI output (as well as USB and audio out ports) and even if you don't use it to connect to your TV it's handy for sitting the Streak on an in-flight seatback tray to watch videos on the tablet directly. The Dell Streak is charged via a proprietary 30-pin dock connector that looks very similar to the one used by Apple for its iPad, iPhone and iPod devices.
Dell Streak: connectivity and other features
The Dell Streak is a dual-band, 7.2Mbps 3G device running on the 900 and 2100 networks, so it doesn't work with Telstra's 850MHz Next G network. An 850MHz compatible model of the Dell Streak is sold in other markets and may eventually make its way to Australia. The Streak naturally includes Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi. One of the main benefits of the Streak's larger display is excellent Web surfing capabilities — multitouch works well on the 5in screen and pages loaded and rendered reasonably quickly in comparison to other Android smartphones on the market.
Other features include a built-in accelerometer, a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, up to 16GB of internal memory (depending on the model chosen) and a microSD card slot which lets you install a card up to 32GB. You can access the microSD card slot easily by sliding off the back cover, which also makes it simple to replace the battery.
Overall, the Dell Streak is a niche device that will appeal to people who like the idea of a tablet but who don't like the larger size of the iPad. The Streak is a reasonably good smartphone (albeit a very large one) and tablet all-in-one device that some users will find perfect for playing media files and interacting with social media sites. Other users may be perturbed by the odd size, which may be too large for a phone yet too small for a tablet. We'd hold off from buying it until it gets a software upgrade.
The Dell Streak is available in Australia exclusively through Optus. It can also be purchased from online mobile phone retailer MobiCity.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Christmas in May
Posted May 15, 2016on:
Books are wonderful little things, and it's a true bond between two bookish people when one says to the other "I picked out some books I think you might like". It's a special part of your brain that clicks on when you think about "would my friend like this book?".
My friend Richard, of Tip the Wink, e-mailed me one day and said "I'm sending you a box of books". Little did he know the look of glee that appeared on my face when I saw that e-mail. Someone was sending me books they think I might like? and even better, these were used, pre-loved books. I'd be able to say "my friend gave me these". And I love getting to say that. I'm one of those weirdos who gives additional brownie points to friends who gift me their used books.
A week later, Richard's box arrived. It was like Christmas. In May.
that evening, I so very carefully opened it:
(be warned, this is a booknerd unboxing post, full of photos, squeeing, happy, and questions about stuff I've heard of but never read. Photos may be slow in loading)
The squeeing begun right away. Arthur C. Clarke? Ben Bova? Neal Asher! So far so good! Let's see what else is in here…..
pretty new goodies
Posted April 28, 2016on:
The While I've been devouring Kage Baker books to keep ahead of spoilers in this read-along, some new goodies showed up at the house. And my friend Andy took me to the ginormous Lowry's Books. And I bought some other stuff.
What of these look good to you?
What of these have you read? Which of these should I read first?
Goodies from the used bookstore:
The Proteus Operation, by James P Hogan, published 1985.
We Who Are About To… by Joanna Russ, published 1977
Destination Void, by Frank Herbert, published in 1966. Oops, turns out I already have a copy of this one, but apparently there is the original version of the novel, and an updated version… so if I'm lucky, now I have one of each.
Blind Date with a Book (give away)
Posted April 3, 2016on:
it's been how long since I did a blind date with a book give away?? that's way too long. let's do it again!
here's how it works:
- All these books are new. Some of them I've read, some are ARCs that got mailed to me that I'm passing on. Some won't be available in bookstores for months yet.
- Due to the cost of shipping, this give away is for US only. (if you survived doing your taxes, you deserve a little give away, right?)

Reading plans? Disrupted.
Posted March 3, 2016on:
Remember all those plans I had? To pick up The Goblin Emperor, or finally write a review of Hearne's Hounded or Pinborough's The Death House?
Yeah, those got completely and thoroughly disrupted. Because, on a whim, I picked this up instead:
and oh good god it is amazing. it's a bazillion pages long and I am devouring it. Ladies? You're gonna want to read this. Gents? this is a girly book. Buy it for a lady in your life, she will thank you. it's sexy, has tons of awesome history stuff, it's fast paced, and also, very sexy.
This stuff came into the house fairly recently too:
Down and Out in Purgatory, by Tim Powers, out in June from Subterranean Press. It's Tim Powers, so I know it's going to be good.
84 Charing Cross Road, Helene Hanff's famous 1970 account of her twenty year correspondence relationship with a rare book dealer. I haven't seen the movie, but I know how this story ends. please don't wreck it in the comments for people who don't know.
Worst Contact, edited by Hank Davis – a new anthology of mostly older first contact stories. Promises to be entertaining
The Lyre Thief by Jennifer Fallon – out next week from Tor. Neat premise, giggle-worthy character names.
too many books, not enough time, reading plans turned upside down on a lark. the life of a book blogger, yeah?
That Alternate History Thing
Posted February 20, 2016on:
One of my favorite things about being involved with SFSignal is I get to coordinate Mind Melds. I come up with a fun question, and then ask a bunch of people who I hope will have an interesting response. Most recently, I asked about Alternate History. Why we like it, what we like about it, and how to do it right. Click on the words to visit the post, there is some great stuff there! (Actually, don't click the links. they will explode your list of books you want to read!)
I've always enjoyed Tim Powers, but his books are technically more Secret History than anything else. Right now I'm about half way through Ian Tregillis's The Coldest War which is a sort of if World War II was won not by the military, but by secret sorcerers working with Deep Ones vs X-Men type people. In the 2nd book in the series, we're up to the 1960s, and it's the Cold War. But this is worse, because there is a psychic, and someone who can be invisible, and we know they didn't just wake up one day with superpowers, they had to be, erm, is "convinced" the right word? Now that's some alternate history! So far, The Coldest War isn't quite as good as the first book in the series, Bitter Seeds, but I'm still enjoying it. I have some sneaky suspicions as to what the third book might bring, and I want to know if I guessed right!
So, what are some of your favorite alternate history books?
The lost art of letter writing
Posted February 11, 2016on:
the title of this post is a lie.
Letter writing is not a lost art. It happens all the time.
I hated writing letters as a child. I hated writing Thank You notes for birthday gifts, I hated writing out holiday cards. I didn't like addressing envelopes, I didn't like pretty stationary.
Luckily, I grew out of that. Way out. These days I voluntarily write letters, purchase fun cards and stationary, go to Postcard expos, and I even enjoy addressing envelopes! Did any of you hear on the radio the other day that the Post Office had good profits last year? well, me and my letter writing friends go through a lot of postage.
It probably shouldn't surprise me that I've come to really enjoy
epilostery, epistoler, stories told through letter writing. Characters writing letters back and forth? that sounds so cheesy! so old fashioned!! but somehow, I find this method of telling a story so much more effective than a bunch of characters wandering around doing things together. It's strange, how the limits of letter writing flip themselves inside out to something infinite when used to tell a story. Think about it – when you write a letter you only have so much space on the page. It limits your space, so it limits what you can say (unless you want to send a 10 page letter, which is totally OK), so you have to prioritize what you want to say, and details may get left out. Letters also contain far less internal monologue, more inside jokes, the opportunity to add a doodle, misspelled words that may be crossed out, and handwriting that changes sizes or may be difficult to read. Handwriting is a personal and non-verbal communication method all by itself.
So, anyway, I like those kinds of stories, and was lucky enough to run into three fantastic ones recently. Unfortunately, some of these aren't available for public consumption yet, but they will be soon!
Changing Gears
Posted February 1, 2016on:
How things were in my life until January 2015:
Most days it was easy to find a half hour to read slush and at least an hour (and sometimes 3) to read a book. I had a super cushy job that mostly involved waiting around. If nothing was happening at work, it was totally OK for me to sit around and read a book. Finding a few hours here and there to write long and passionate reviews as also pretty easy. I'd spend Saturday mornings catching up on my RSS feed, commenting on other blogs, arranging author interviews, plotting and planning read-alongs with other bloggers, requesting ARCs, and all those other fun things that come with being a passionate blogger. For four years, I was in book blogger heaven. I was ridiculously spoiled and I no concept of how good I had it.
Things changed, as they do, and in Oct of 2014 my employer reorganized and downsized, which resulted in me having a
nice and relaxing depressing and terrifying 3 month vacation from working. In January of 2015 I landed a job with a very large and very stable company. They wanted to pay me a lot of money to do something I truly do enjoy: field management. The hours are long, and the job is incredibly intense and challenging. Finding time to read and blog has practically disappeared, as you can see from the drop in my published reviews and general online presence.
I'm not giving up my blog. She's my labor of love, my baby. She's not going anywhere. But, if I'm going to keep her alive, I need to change gears. But I only have so many spoons.

Reviews for Tech Corps
2 people found this review helpful
TECH CORPS is an AMAZING organization that offered our daughter an opportunity of a lifetime. The programs that she was elected to attend in were very well structured, organized, and professionally ran by the staff of TECH CORPS. My daughter walked away from these programs with a welt of knowledge that she was able to apply during her academic school year. In addition, she was able to apply her learnings from Techie Camp outside of the classroom and into her acting. I can't say enough about how phenomenal TECH Corps is in a paragraph. The skills and exposure that she obtained through TECH Corps should be offered more frequently and we wish that we could have had a summer long program with this type of curriculum versus a weeklong. We all walked away from the program wishing we had more time!!!!!!! TECH CORPS your organization is AWESOME and the flexibility of the staff was very impressive!
I currently work as a Supervisor-Instructor for their Student WEB CORPS program. Every day is a new and amazing experience. The opportunity to educate and empower students by giving them new technology and professional skills incredibly rewarding, and the administrative staff at TECH CORPS provides amazing support and feedback for instructors operating remotely.
During my time with TECH CORPS I've had the incredible opportunity to see high school students go from zero prior web development or design knowledge to building amazingly designed and well thought out websites in just a few weeks. I've also seen first hand how gaining those skills has empowered and inspired these young people, and know this is an experience they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

I joined this company without much knowledge of what they do and my experience with them immediately opened my eyes to the great things they accomplish. Their support in my passion to educate young adults in a important and expanding field as well as provide essential job training is far beyond what I expected.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Tech Corps, they are committed to their cause and they work hard to make those they come across feel welcome and listened too. Any questions or concerns I had were answered right away, they are consistent as far having high expectations for their employees and those they serve. I cannot recommend them more.

Tech Corps is a great organization to work with, with a excellent idea well-executed. I think this is a very good way to get grade-schoolers interested in technology and further their education.
Plus, I had a great time. This is my second year, and both were rewarding and fun.
Thanks, Tech Corps, and, keep up the good work!

For the years that I have been involved I have watched the students light up with enthusiasm and excitement for STEM related lessons.
The volunteers and staff members all give many hours a week to building interesting and engaging activities for the kids with the dual goals of educating and building desire to continue with technical exploration.
1 person found this review helpful
Wonderful organization that offers opportunity to students and exposure to new innovations that they would not otherwise have. It is very well organized and offers students the ability to realize the technical capability and creative capability they have. The curriculum is flexible but also allows for the kind of structure you need to implement something with minimal prep work.

Tech Corps did a nice job of offering many different selections of summer courses to our students in Lorain County. They were professional in handling the student application process and communication with parents. I'm looking forward to more opportunities with them in the future.

I had a wonderful opportunity to work with TECH CORPS this summer and it was the greatest way to spend my time. It prepared me for my (hopeful) future career and with my presentation skills. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in STEM careers

My son really enjoyed the Tech Corp Program. It helped him confirm as to what he wanted to go to college for. He took part in the Summer Internship program with Tech Corp. With the hands on experience with REAL world issues when regarding programming, helped him to narrow down what field he wants to study. His choice is with Computer Forensic Science with a minor in Criminology. All because of this program. I love it and recommend that more students become a part of it.
My son was also amazed how he became a part of the review in the Columbus Dispatch Paper over the summer.

Hello fellow Gamespoters,
I put this pc build together about a year ago and have had no problems, until recently. For the past week when I boot up my PC, it boots to a black screen and I am not able to do anything other then restart. After the restart it has booted up fine every time... I thought maybe it could be trying to boot a different HDD, although all I've put in the PC is a USB drive... Not sure what it could be, any suggestions?
EDIT: The PC is loaded with Windows 7.

Hi to all,
I am using WP for a year and it is good in many fields, that is for sure, but the biggest problems always appear with pictures.
There are two issues, which is for me UNDERSTANDABLE that they are not solved in better way after years of WP development!
1. Uploading of pictures via FTP - the user does not have any option to put the pictures into WP unless he is using media uploader. This is slow and not the best solution. I see uploading via FTP as the best way for many users. In 21. century of SW products I expect to connect throught FTP, move files quickly to particural directory, then open WP and see my pictures so I can work with them... WHY THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE ???
What I suggest: incorporate into WP logic which will notice new pictures
in particular directory and import them automatically (or on click) into media library, or the best way is to give user chance to browse through particular directory and choose picture from there, not from media library.
2. Categorization of media - media library is the most useless thing in WP from my point of view. All pictures are all "on a pile" without any chance to say that some pictures are "from holiday in Africa", "logos", "PDF templates","presentations" etc... This is may be even worse thing then point one above. Media library in current state is useless in terms of using WP for large blogs or just private page where I want to post stories and pictures from holiday, because working with hundreds of pictures with no categorization IS PAIN and completely NO SENSE.
What I suggest: put the category (same as for posts) to media library and let user to choose during uploading process appropriate category for those media. (Or if you solve point one above, then no categorization is needed, because user can create his own structure of media via FTP)
My words in this ticket might look angry, so I am sorry for that, because in fact WP is the best CMS I ever worked with, but always when I get in touch with media, it is on the other hand the worst expererience ever.
Thanks in advance to WP team for incorporating some changes! It will make your product more attractive and the most important MORE USABLE!

Congressional leaders are concerned that the Defense Department may not have enough money to provide merit pay increases as envisioned under the department's new personnel system.
A key tenet of the National Security Personnel System is that top performers should be rewarded beyond the government's standard pay scale. But such increases could be difficult if agencies have not built them into their budgets.
"Pay for performance has a hollow ring to it if you can't get additional compensation, if the money isn't there," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
This is a familiar scenario, said Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio). "Too often we ask agencies to do the job, but we don't give them the money to get the job done," he said. Voinovich previously introduced legislation to begin annual evaluations of federal employees in anticipation of a governmentwide pay-for-performance system.
But Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England said there was no cause for concern.
"We do not have a budget issue," he said. "We're fully funding all aspects of this program."
England said that agency was committed to funding NSPS and insisted that expenditures for the pay system currently "track with expectations."
Darryl Perkinson, national president of the Federal Managers Association, emphasized the importance of proper funding.
"The replacement of the standard general schedule pay system with a proposed pay banding system creates a devastating problem" if Congress does not appropriate enough money, Perkinson said. "The integrity of pay for performance will be severely hindered if all high performers are not rewarded accordingly."
Funding has been a problem with other pay-for-performance initiatives.
A recent pilot program at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ran into problems when agency officials were unable to award base-pay increases to all deserving employees. The ATF ended up switching to a combination of lump-sum payments and base-pay increases for participants, violating a deal negotiated with the union.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising Isn't The Next "Hideo Kojima" GameBy Ishaan . October 17, 2010 . 4:27pm
Metal Gear series creator, Hideo Kojima, tweets about his next real project.
Metal Gear series creator, Hideo Kojima, tweets about his next real project.
It's open vampire and werewolf season on Xbox Live!
This Snake Eater trailer looks incredible even without the 3D effect.
Also, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater comes to 3DS in 2011.
Lords of Shadow has battled the ESRB and come away with a proud "M" rating.
Kojima Productions intend to "make full use" of the 3D effect.
And an interesting tidbit on the future of Metal Gear on home consoles.
Kojima Productions showed off a Metal Gear Solid tech demo on the 3DS. Where do we go from here?
Snake? What happened?!
This was Kojima Production's third secret project for E3. It's being directed by Kojima.
The countdown is over and Kojima Productions opened their E3 site… with three games.
It wouldn't be E3 without a cryptic countdown site from Kojima Productions.

Bears QBs atop the one important statistical category
Say what you want about the Bears' quarterbacks: they lack consistency, one doesn't have the arm to make the necessary NFL throws but won't make mistakes, the other has a cannon for an arm but suffers from brain farts. But Bears quarterbacks Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman are near the top of the single most important statistical category in all of sports. To paraphrase Al Davis, "They just win, baby."
In an article from NFL.com, blogged about by Brad Biggs on Sun-Times.com, Grossman and Orton's combined 31-17 record "equals a winning percentage exceeded by only six active quarterbacks."
Yeah, I know, the cynics will say that the Bears' defense and special teams can be thanked for those winning records, but the realists — myself included — say that winning is the only thing that matters.
Unfortunately, we live in an era where offense is craved. If your team can't put up points, you're going to get booed, even if you win the game. It's a sad fact, really. I'm sure there actually are Bears fans out there that would rather the team go 9-7 with a high-powered offense than go 13-3 with a team that wins games, 13-7.
It's important to remember, Bears fans, particularly in a season like the one that lies ahead, that stats are for cowards, wimps, and losers. And fantasy geeks. Although, fantasy geeks usually are synonymous with the three aforementioned words. The only thing that matters is winning.
Bears fans like to boo Grossman for making poor decisions, but do you see the irony in that situation? Bears fans are using poor judgment by picking the wrong times to boo. Go ahead and boo Grossman or Orton if they throw a fourth quarter interception with under two minutes to play that costs the team the game. Don't sit there booing either guy if the Bears are winning the game!
So, use some good judgment when deciding to boo our quarterbacks. Even though they make mistakes, those mistakes aren't costly enough to give the game away. After all, they're both winners.

Schlick 2000
Mountain stats
Lift count : 2 x Gondolas 1 x Chairlifts 7 x Drag-lifts
Schlick 2000 is an area which is unknown to many apart from the local boys. Schlick is found just a short drive from Innsbruck on the valley to Stubai Glacier. So why the secret! Its simple it's a large bowl which attracts lots of powder and keeps the weather out, when the rest are closed. Schlick isn't an area you'll head for a weeks holiday ; the area isn't great in size but you'll have lots of fun, a day is more than enough.
If its been a powder day then don't give up on fresh traxs the next day as you might find it untracked again, as there is always a bit of a breeze. Its very tempting but make sure you know where you're going in the powder as there's plenty of cliffs to falls off and avalanches are common. More than likely though you'll end up getting lost in the trees and end up in the wrong village so seek local help.

Obesity has been associated with accelerated biological ageing and immunosenescence. As the prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing, we wanted to determine if associations between obesity and immunosenescence would manifest in children. We studied 123 Mexican American adolescents aged 10–14 (mean 12·3 ± 0·7) years, with body weights ranging from 30·1 to 115·2 kg (mean 52·5 ± 14·5 kg). Blood samples were obtained to determine proportions of naive, central memory (CM), effector memory (EM), senescent and early, intermediate and highly differentiated subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Overweight and obese children had significantly lowered proportions of early CD8+ T cells (B = −11·55 and –5·51%, respectively) compared to healthy weight. Overweight children also had more EM (B = +7·53%), late (B = +8·90%) and senescent (B = +4·86%) CD8+ T cells than healthy weight children, while obese children had more intermediate CD8+ (B = +4·59%), EM CD8+ (B = +5·49%), late CD4+ (B = +2·01%) and senescent CD4+ (B = +0·98%) T cells compared to healthy weight children. These findings withstood adjustment for potentially confounding variables, including age, gender and latent cytomegalovirus and Epstein–Barr virus infections. We conclude that excess body mass, even in adolescence, may accelerate immunosenescence and predispose children to increased risks of incurring immune-related health problems in adulthood.

I am currently working with Professor Amy Colbert on a grant she has been awarded titled, "Faith and Flourishing at Work." During Fall 2015 we began reading through transcripts of interviews conducted with relief workers to discern how they find and sustain meaning in their work. Based on our initial coding of the data, we discussed whether to propose changes/additions to the interview protocol in order to more closely examine the relationship these individuals have with the beneficiaries of their work and how those relationships shape the meaning individuals derive from their work. In the upcoming months we plan to further refine the interview protocol, review the literature on qualitative research (e.g., Lee, Corbin & Strauss, Miles & Huberman) and continue to read broadly in relevant areas (e.g., meaning of work, beneficiaries).
