There's no doubt which quarterbacks shine brightest on the Week 12 marquee: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. For the 14th time in their prolific careers, the future Hall of Famers will face off on Sunday. In the previous 13 meetings, Brady's Patriots have gone 9-4 against Manning's Colts and Broncos.
With every year, Brady and Manning inch closer to the end of the line. So you never know if 2013 will mark their last meeting. If it is, it should live up to the billing.
Game of the Week
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots (Sunday 8:30 p.m., NFL Network) . How the game ended in Carolina took away from a key development: The fully loaded Patriots' offense looked really good against a top defense. It's taken a while for all the parts around Tom Brady to heal, but Shane Vereen was the final piece. The running back is the complementary matchup nightmare to tight end Rob Gronkowski, the versatile receiver that Aaron Hernandez was.
When you look at Gronkowski, Vereen, Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman, Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins, they don't quite sound as good as what Manning has in Denver: Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Julius Thomas and of course, former Patriot Wes Welker. Still, Brady's bunch is coming together. The motivated Welker will do everything he can if cleared to stick it to Bill Belichick after a Week 11 concussion, but there's a chance Julius Thomas (knee) won't play.
Those are the colors on the palettes as Brady and Manning are about to paint another masterpiece. A couple of things tilt this in the Patriots' favor: The home field and how well they rebound from tough losses. They will dig deep for a little pass rush and force one key turnover. In a high-scoring affair, that's enough to put win No. 10 in Brady's column. Patriots 38, Broncos 34
Rematch of the Week
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants (Sunday 4:25 p.m., FOX) . The Cowboys' defense is giving up yardage at an alarming rate, and without Sean Lee, aren't in position to get the takeaways to make up for it. When they beat the Giants 36-31 in Week 1, that was the case. Now the Giants have cleaned up their mistakes and have found their running game with Andre Brown, and sense a chance to steal the NFC East. They must win to stay in the division race, and that means they need Eli Manning to bust out. The Cowboys will try to take a shootout with Tony Romo, but an improved Big Blue D makes the small difference. Giants 34, Cowboys 27
Game of Midweek
New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons (Thursday 8:25 p.m., NFL Network) . This won't exactly be like Sherman's march to the sea, but the Saints should do plenty of marching down the field in their favorite dome away home against their hated NFC South rivals. Look for Drew Brees to have his way with deep strikes as New Orleans dominates the line of scrimmage and sets up big plays off a strong running game and subsequent play-action. That will leave Rob Ryan's defense to tee off on Matt Ryan in one-dimensional comeback mode behind a shaky line. Saints 34, Falcons 21
Upset of the Week
Indianapolis Colts over Arizona Cardinals (Sunday 4:05 p.m., CBS) . Andrew Luck and Chuck Pagano have great respect for now-Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians for the great work he did with the Colts. That doesn't mean they can afford to let Arians and surging Arizona take this one. Luck won't get much help from the run and needs to be ready for all kinds of pressure, but he has the athleticism, arm and moxie to make big things happen to overcome breakdowns. Carson Palmer doesn't, and should see plenty of Robert Mathis disrupting him. Colts 20, Cardinals 17
Lock of the Week
Baltimore Ravens over New York Jets (Sunday 1 p.m., CBS) . The Jets on the road against a good, swarming defense? Both they and we learned the hard way in Buffalo it's a recipe for a meltdown as rookie Geno Smith isn't ready for such hostile enviroments in the elements. The reigning Super Bowl champions, a game behind New York, should be able to sniff that a wild card is well within reach. The Ravens got Ray Rice going again in Week 11, and their defense can make it another rough day for Smith. John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco don't want their playoff streak to end, and the team works to keep it alive this week. Ravens 23, Jets 6
Rest of the Week
Carolina Panthers at Miami Dolphins (Sunday 1 p.m., FOX) . Cam Newton's mobility will neutralize the Dolphins' pass rush, and they also will have major issues slowing down Carolina's running backs and tight end Greg Olsen. Greg Hardy and Star Lotulelei will dominate Miami's offensive line to get into Ryan Tannehill's face and pressure him into mistakes with little help from the run. There is no letdown in South Bench, as the Panthers keep pointing north. Panthers 24, Dolphins 12
Chicago Bears at St. Louis Rams (Sunday 1 p.m., FOX) . The Bears should welcome getting off the ugly turf of Solider Field, because it means their top playmakers, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Matt Forte, can get going on the fast track after the catch. Quick passing from Josh McCown will beat the St. Louis heat, while a suddenly improving Chicago defense will turn Kellen Clemens black and blue. The effort will please all the fans who make the jaunt down I-55 and get their kicks on Route 66. Kyle Long is happy; Chris Long is not. Bears 30, Rams 20
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans (Sunday 1 p.m., CBS) . Believe or not, the Texans need to end their nine-game losing streak right here, or they will be in last place in the AFC South. That will happen, as Case Keenum gets the nod again and should use his big arm to find Andre Johnson and Deandre Hopkins streaking downfield, with plenty of help from Ben Tate on the ground. J.J. Watt, still the worthy defensive player of the year, can finally get rewarded for his intense efforts by all of his teammates. Texans 27, Jaguars 14
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (Sunday 1 p.m., FOX) . Christian Ponder's roller coaster continues, and it will be another bumpy ride in Lambeau with Adrian Peterson banged up. It's time for the Packers' defense to make an impact, because a more confident Scott Tolzien, backed by plenty of Eddie Lacy, should turn in a good performance at home. With the chance of a sooner than expected Aaron Rodgers return, Green Bay will take advantage of this matchup to stay in the NFC North race. Packers 30, Vikings 17
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns (Sunday 1 p.m., CBS) . This matchup can cool off Ben Roethlisberger in a hurry. Joe Haden will shut down Antonio Brown, and Cleveland's front seven should work over the Steelers' line. The Browns will have better chances for big offensive plays of their own. One each from Jordan Cameron and Josh Gordon will do the trick in a tight, physical struggle typical of November in the AFC North. Browns 17, Steelers 16
San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (Sunday 1 p.m., CBS) . The Chargers can lament about what could have been, as their offense has fallen just short of finishing key drives in key games. That frustrating battle doesn't get easier in Arrowhead, where the Chiefs' defense will be eager to take something out on Philip Rivers after not getting to Peyton Manning. Look for Kansas City to get off to the races with Jamaal Charles, with its pass rush playing the closer role. Chiefs 24, Chargers 19
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroit Lions (Sunday 1 p.m., FOX) . Calvin Johnson vs. Darrelle Revis will be the main event, but the Buccaneers will just be burned by the rest of Matt Stafford's weapons on the fast track of Ford Field. While there's mild containment on Megatron, look for Reggie Bush to rebound and the return of Nate Burleson to play a factor. Mike Glennon will work to keep it close, but he just doesn't have the same pop around him. Lions 24, Buccaneers 20
Tennessee Titans at Oakland Raiders (Sunday 4:05 p.m., CBS) . Instead of the athletic duel of Jake Locker vs. Terrelle Pryor, it's two smart, savvier passers in Ryan Fitzpatick and Matt McGloin. McGloin made some crazy good throws in Houston, and should feel even more comfortable in spreading the ball around at home. While the Raiders can stack it to stop Chris Johnson and get in Fitzpatrick's face, McGloin can lean better on the backfield spark of Rashad Jennings. Raiders 20, Titans 17
San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins (Sunday 8:40 p.m., ESPN) . It's hard to imagine, but given the young QBs struggles, this is less about Colin Kaepernick vs. Robert Griffin III than the 49ers being able to dominate in the trenches. They should manhandle the Redskins up front to run, stop the run, protect Kaepernick and further hamper RG3. Given how bad Washington's defense is, we'll see a hint of that old Kaepernicking under the lights. 49ers 24, Redskins 20
Byes of the Week
The Buffalo Bills (4-7) aren't making the playoffs, but they need to take the last month-plus of the season to finish strong and get a jump on rookie EJ Manuel's growth for 2014.
Now that the Cincinnati Bengals (7-4) can feel much better about winning the brutal AFC North with a two and a half game cushion on everyone else, they can focus on getting Andy Dalton out of his latest slump.
Chip Kelly's first season with the Philadelphia Eagles (6-5) can already be deemed a success, considering they already have two more wins than 2012. Now we'll see if Nick Foles can finish the job by getting them into playoffs.
The Seattle Seahawks (10-1) are soaring above an otherwise muddled NFC, and can pretty much count on the No. 1 playoff seed if they take care of the Saints at home after the bye.
Stats of the Week
Last week's straight-up record: 11-4
Season-to-date record: 95-67

Princeton's Reid Seen Joining Exclusive Alumni Club at NFL Draft
Caraun Reid can become part of a Princeton alumni club that has only one member.
Reid, a 6-foot-2, 302-pound defensive tackle, is projected to be selected in the National Football League draft as high as the third round this year, which would put him with Charlie Gogolak as the only Tigers players ever taken above the sixth round.
Princeton's first two-time all-American first-team honoree in 20 years, totaled 20 1/2 sacks in 40 games for the Tigers. In January, he became the first Ivy League player to be invited to the Senior Bowl since 1980 and had sacks on back-to-back plays during the game while facing some of the nation's top NFL draft prospects.
"He is one of those rare guys that athletically had no business being in the Ivy League," said former Princeton offensive lineman Ross Tucker, who played with five NFL teams and is now a host for Sirius XM NFL Radio. "He looks like he could play for Alabama, USC or LSU."
The draft began yesterday with the first 32 selections and continues with the second and third rounds tonight. The final four rounds are held tomorrow and Reid, 22, is seen joining Gogolak, a kicker who was the sixth overall pick in the 1966 draft, in the exclusive group.
Reid, who is from the Bronx in New York, tied for the Ivy League-lead with 6 1/2 sacks during his final season while leading Princeton to an 8-2 record and a league title. He became the second Princeton player to play in the Senior Bowl, the first since Hollie Donan in 1950, and said he quickly realized there wasn't that big of a difference between his ability and the players from the major programs.
Senior Bowl
"When I got to the Senior Bowl a lot of the teams were saying,'We like what you did at Princeton, you look like a great player, you look athletic,' but they didn't know how that would translate against high-level competition," Reid said by telephone. "That ambivalence was sort of what I was going against."
Halfway through the first day of Senior Bowl practices in Birmingham, Alabama, Reid said any questions that he could compete at the highest level were gone.
"I started to realize that I could ball with these dudes," Reid said with a laugh following a workout this week at his school's New Jersey campus. "Sure I went to Princeton, but they were just lucky I went to Princeton."
Reid's Weaknesses
Reid says he understand that he still has room for improvement. While his draft profile on NFL.com describes him as very quick off the ball, active and energetic, it also says he shows little feel for blocking pressure, can be late to locate the ball, gets pushed around too easily and has some durability issues.
"He needs some work, there's no question," ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said on a media conference call. "But he understands what it's going to take to go from the Ivy League to the National Football League, which is a huge jump. What he did at the Ivy League level is impressive enough to be a fourth-, fifth-round pick, possibly third."
Reid is seeking to become Princeton's 14th NFL draft pick and the second in as many years.
Fellow Tigers defensive lineman Mike Catapano was a seventh-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, appeared in 15 games as a rookie and collected one quarterback sack. The last time Princeton had picks in back-to-back years was 1982 and 1983, when the draft had 12 rounds. It was shortened to eight rounds in 1993 and then to seven rounds -- its current length -- the following year.
Ivy Leaguers
Catapano was one of three players from Ivy League schools drafted a year ago, along with Cornell's JC Tretter and Harvard's Kyle Juszczcyk. Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews may join Reid in this year's Ivy League draft class. Linebacker Zak DeOssie (Brown), quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (Harvard) and offensive lineman Kevin Boothe (Cornell) were among other Ivy League players drafted in recent years.
"Fifteen years ago, it was very rare for a guy to get a shot from the Ivy League," said Tucker, who noted there were about 25 NFL scouts at last season's Princeton-Cornell game. "There's been enough guys that have had success and legitimate NFL careers that I think the NFL is starting to realize there are guys from this league who can start and guys who can certainly come in and contribute."
Reid's Growth
Reid said he'll be watching the draft from his home in the Bronx, where he didn't start playing football until his freshman year in high school and his father and mother are both ordained ministers. Reid didn't get much attention from colleges as a high school player and said when he opted to come to Princeton he was shy and had little leadership presence.
"I've seen myself develop to the point where I'm not only leading by example, but I'm that lively jumping up and down presence, I'm that guy who tries to get people hyped," Reid said. "That's the man I hope I continue to be -- to develop more as a leader and be one of those guys who leaves an indelible mark on whichever organization I'm fortunate enough to be playing for on the next level."
Reid said while he's excited about the prospect of making history for Princeton, the most difficult part is waiting to learn which NFL jersey he'll be wearing.
"It's a little bit testing when you're just waiting and you have no idea what's about to happen," Reid said. "I'll just be excited when some team calls me and says, 'OK Caraun, let's go.'"

Great hill for entire family to enjoy!! It's managed well by courteous staff that seem to be interested in skiing/boarding as the lifestyle it is. Aside from fighting Mother Nature, they do a good job of making snow & grooming often.
From your arrival in the parking lot to the greeting at the ticket windows the staff is welcoming. There are extensive runs for the entire family. I am an advanced-intermediate that likes to push myself & improving technique & overall skills each time I hit the slopes!
Cascade has 20+ degree pitch on its blacks & although SHORT, these steeps offer enough pitch to challenge anyone skiing in the Midwest. Per my Ski Tracks App for my iPhone, I've clocked speed in excess of 45 MPH on numerous occasions here. I've also meandered on mile long greens with my wife, daughter & friends. There is plenty to see & ski here vs driving an additional 5 hours to hit the Upper Peninsula for an additional 200 feet of vert..
Of note, Cascade shuts down the entire left (southeast) side of the hill at night... (No lights)
Overall, I like this ski resort/hill best when looking to ski within a two hour drive (85 min from MKE) or less than 3 hour drive from Chicago.
I've included a clip of Cascades main Blue run for your review. It's enough of a hill that I was able to hit 46.7MPH per my Ski Tracks iPhone App. Video is on YouTube with a link below (if allowed to paste the link. If not search Cascade Mountain Ski Hill & spengail as video poster)

"We can't stress enough how important it is to protect your eyes every day from the sun," says Daniel D. Garrett, senior vice president of Prevent Blindness America on their Web site. "Even when the weather is overcast, the sun still emits intense, harmful rays."
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat or cap and UV-absorbing eyewear is your best defense against UV damage to your eyes. According to www.preventblindness.org, your wide-brimmed hat or cap will block roughly 50 percent of UV rays. For sunglasses, examine the labels carefully to make sure the lenses absorb 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays, and make sure the glasses fit your face properly in order to receive the maximum protection.

HA-OSCAR: the Birth of Highly Available OSCAR
The seeds for the Open Cluster Group (OCG) and the resulting Open Source Cluster Application Resources (OSCAR) Project were planted when a number of like-minded individuals had the good fortune to sit together for dinner at a meeting sponsored by the Department of Energy on February 17, 2000. Over dinner, this group discussed the effort involved in deploying the software necessary to build a Beowulf high-performance computing cluster. Although this group agreed that it was simple to wire together commodity computers to build the cluster, they went on to agree that the amount of effort required to install and configure the requisite software stack on a Beowulf cluster was inordinately high. Challenging to some and tedious to all was the consensus description. Thus, the idea to simplify the process was born.
Further fertilization of this idea took place in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in April that year at a meeting that included industry, academia and research labs. It was at this first formal meeting that the OCG was formed and work was begun on OSCAR, specifically the Beowulf cluster software stack and associated installation process. At this meeting the group agreed on three core principles:
The adoption of clusters for mainstream, high-performance computing is inhibited by a lack of well-accepted software stacks that are robust and easy to use by the general user.
The OCG embraces the open-source model. As a result, the OSCAR distribution must contain only freely redistributable codes, with a preference for the inclusion of source code under a Berkeley-style open-source license.
The OCG can accomplish its goals through the use of best-practices codes currently available.
Further details about the beginning of OCG and OSCAR can be found in an article by Richard Ferri in the June 2002 issue of Linux Journal titled "The OSCAR Revolution".
Throughout OSCAR's brief history, the group has managed to adhere to these three principles while allowing OSCAR to encompass other forms of software. For example, although the OSCAR distribution itself contains only freely redistributable codes, others are deploying an OSCAR package that, while not a part of the formal OSCAR distribution, may be installed or dropped into an existing OSCAR distribution for installation.
The OSCAR Project continues to contain a mixture of industry and academic/research members. The overall project is directed by a steering committee elected every two years from the current core organizations. This core list is composed of those actively contributing to project development. The 2003 core organizations include: Bald Guy Software (BGS), Dell, IBM, Intel, MSC.Software, Indiana University, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Université de Sherbrooke (UdS).
In the past year, additional OCG working groups have been created to address other cluster environments. These new groups are working to leverage the technology provided by OSCAR when producing their cluster distributions. The two groups working today are Thin-OSCAR and HA-OSCAR. Thin-OSCAR is headed by the Université de Sherbrooke in Canada and is dedicated to delivering a diskless variant of OSCAR. The HA-OSCAR group is led by the authors of this article and is focused on providing a high-availability version of OSCAR.
In a July 2001 meeting at Ericsson Research Canada, Ibrahim Haddad made the case for high availability in cluster computing. Initially, the discussion centered on the necessity of high-availability computing for the telecom industry. As the discussions progressed, it became clear that with the anticipated tens of thousands of nodes in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, high-availability techniques can provide some level of the fault tolerance desired by the HPC community.
Ibrahim's group at Ericsson Research worked primarily alone on the high-availability effort until the recent addition of Dr Chokchai Leangsuksun and his team at Louisiana Tech University and the continued interest in HA-OSCAR by Stephen Scott at ORNL. In 2002, the HA-OSCAR effort was recognized officially by OCG as another working group. The primary goal of the group is to leverage existing OSCAR technology and provide for new high-availability capabilities in OSCAR clusters. The anticipated customers of this technology include the telecom industry and HPC sites.
HA-OSCAR introduces several enhancements and new features to OSCAR, mainly in areas of availability, scalability and security. Most of these features can be mapped to ITU (International Telecommunication Union), TMN (Telecommunication Management Network) and FCAPS (Fault-management, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security). These concepts are widely adopted in the telecom industry to manage its network elements.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

9to5 Mac reports today on a couple of iPad developments in the UK and Europe that most likely means an iPad 2 announcement is on the way sharpish. As 9to5 Mac says, when stocks of an Apple product start to dwindle, and prices get slashed, it's a tell-tale sign that the next version of said product is on the way, as Apple and its partner retailers want to move as much of the old stock as possible before they get stuck with it with everyone wanting the new goodies.
According to 9to Mac, Carphone Warehouse in the UK has sold out of the 64 GB Wi-Fi-only iPads, and all of the 3G versions are sold out at the same retailer. Elsewhere in Europe, iPad carriers Orange and T-Mobile have cut the cost of their iPad 3G packages in half to £99.99 for customers who sign up for 2-year contracts.
Apparently the sold-out situation has also spread beyond Europe to Canada, where 9to5 Mac reports some Future Shop locations are now experiencing iPad shortages. Get ready for that announcement soon!

Theory of Tracing Distortion and its Correction in Carrier Quadraphonic Disc Records
Tracing correction in the carrier quadraphonic disc process reduces base band distortion components as well as base band-to-carrier "up-talk" effects. These are both aspects of a single wide band function, whose derivation and practical implementation will be discussed.

'No timetable' for Wisconsin LB T.J. Edwards' return from foot injury
Wisconsin will need all hands on deck if they hope to contain LSU's Leonard Fournette in the 2016 opener at Lambeau field. Unfortunately for the Badgers, a key hand may be unavailable.
A report emerged late last week that T.J. Edwards would be sidelined indefinitely because of a foot injury. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote that "Edwards was seen wearing a walking boot this week and a source confirmed the redshirt sophomore is out" for the foreseeable future.
During the Big Ten Media Days Tuesday, head coach Paul Chryst somewhat addressed the linebacker's status.
Paul Chryst said in local media session that there isn't a timetable for ILB T.J. Edwards' return from an injured foot. #Badgers

Chryst tells local scribes that there is no timetable for soph. ILB T.J Edwards' return to the field. Points out he was having great summer
— Benjamin Worgull (@TheBadgerNation) July 26, 2016
The Badgers open summer camp August 8. The opener against the Tigers is scheduled for Sept. 3.
As a redshirt sophomore last season, Edwards started all 13 games.
Mitch Leidner shares gruesome post-surgery foot photo
If you're the squeamish type, you might want to do your best to avoid the picture that appears in this post.
Mitch Leidner has been dealing with foot issues since the 2014 season, specifically ligaments that he's torn on multiple occasions. Following Minnesota's win over Central Michigan in the Quick Lane Bowl this past December, the quarterback underwent surgery to repair the ligaments in his left foot but returned in time for spring practice.
Leidner was one of the Gophers' player representatives at the Big Ten Media Days Tuesday, and decided he'd share a post-operation picture of his surgically-repaired foot. Again, if your squeamish, look away.
Here's what Minnesota QB Mitch Leidner endured this offseason. It's amazing he's healthy. This photo is likely NSFW. pic.twitter.com/3HmVyb9f0x
— Jesse Temple (@jessetemple) July 26, 2016
As if the photo doesn't paint this picture, head coach Tracy Claeys acknowledged that the starter was worse off health-wise than the football program let on last year.
"We hid his injuries pretty good a year ago," Claeys said according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "He was banged up pretty good. The foot injury he had was tough and really limited him."
Now, though, Leidner proclaims himself, "[p]hysically, I'm in the best shape of my life, by far." The fifth-year senior, projected by some to be a first-round quarterback prospect in the 2017 NFL draft, added that he feels "like I'm throwing the ball better than I ever have before."
VIDEO: Body cam footage shows Iowa football player's encounter with police
The story of an Iowa football player, Pokemon Go and Iowa City police now has some visuals to go along with the oral narrative.
Over the weekend, officers in that police department were searching for a suspect in a bank robbery. Hawkeyes defensive lineman Faith Ekakitie (pictured, No. 56) just happened to be in a park in that area and seemingly matched the description of the suspect — black man in black clothing wearing something on his head — prompting the officers to approach the lineman. When Ekakitie failed to respond to the officers' commands, because he was wearing headphones, weapons were drawn.
According to Ekakitie in his Facebook accounting of the incident, he had "four gun barrels staring me in the face" at that point.
Because of the national attention the incident has received, the ICPD on Tuesday released two body cam videos that shows exactly how the encounter between their officers and Ekakitie went down.
"I think it's critical we get the information out so people can actually see the events as they actually occurred in real time," says ICPD Sgt. Scott Gaarde in regards to releasing the videos.
In his social media missive, Ekakitie thanked the police officers involved for how they handled the situation.
"I would like to thank the Iowa City Police department for handling a situation very professionally," the lineman wrote. "I would also urge people to be more aware of their surroundings because clearly I wasn't.
"Lastly, I would urge us all to unlearn some of the prejudices that we have learned about each other and now plague our minds and our society. I am convinced that in the same way that we learned these prejudices, we can also unlearn them."
Arrest on UCLA campus led to USC CB's suspension for opener vs. Alabama
Alabama may or may not suspend players involved in off-field incidents this offseason for their highly-anticipated opener, but their opponents already have.
The Los Angeles Times reported that USC cornerback Isaiah Langley was arrested back in May at a frat party at rival UCLA on three misdemeanor charges — suspicion of trespassing, intoxication and resisting arrest. USC head coach Clay Helton subsequently confirmed that Langley will be suspended for the opener against Alabama because of the incident.
From the Times on the events surrounding the arrest:
Langley was attending a fraternity party at UCLA when he was arrested, according to Greenstein. She said Langley gave responding officers the wrong age and resisted arrest.
"When he was asked to leave, he refused," Greenstein said. "Police were called and he was arrested for misdemeanor trespassing."
As a true freshman last season, Langley appeared in 11 games as a backup corner. He was credited with 12 tackles in limited action.
On his official bio, the school wrote that "Langley will battle for key playing time at cornerback as a sophomore in 2016."

Here is the hard part. The best way I think to describe myself is by telling you what Family and freinds say. They say that I have a big heart. (sometimes too big) They say that I am sweet and funny, honest and kind, loving and compassionate. They say that I am always the optimist. I always look for the good in people. They say that I am a bit of a goof-ball sometimes with my silly sense of humor. They say that I make the BEST CHEESE CAKE in the world! They say that I expect people to always do the right thing becuase I always do. They say that I always treat other as I would want to be treated. They say that I have so much love to give and that the right person will come along someday. . .which is why I am here - Why we are all here. I am looking for my better half. My best friend and lover. Someone who finishes my sentences. Someone who will always be there no matter what - because I always will. Someone who does not have to say anything but can look at me from across a room and with that one look makes me feel that I am loved. We all are here for many reasons. We all have an agenda. We all have a story of some kind. I am an open book. As I said - I am here because I want to feel those butterflies in my belly when you walk into a room. I say this with honesty and sincerity. . .

Comments about 'Are people hard-wired to hate exercise?'

I'm in the camp that does not like exercise--and for just one reason: Its
called BOREDOM!!
People who can go to the gym every day, or who can run every day get something out of it the other half of us don't. I can exercise hard. I have exercised hard a lot. I'm happy for about 10 or 15 minutes. Then the brain-numbing starts to set in....
It is not about being lazy or tired or unmotivated or sweat or work. Its just I have NEVER had the 'endorphin high' I have been promised happens. SO doesn't for me. The most I have ever felt is glad I did it because I was supposed to-and glad it was over-and that I didn't have to have guilt for that day for not doing it.
And it is not a little rather-be-doing-something else feelings, like everybody does in many situations. It is complete brain-cell killing BOREDOM.
Oh,and DREAD that I have to face that SAME BOREDOM all again tomorrow.

I think this country has this all backwards. People don't hate exercise,
there just isn't any benefit in providing for their family or lifestyle.
Saving energy to provide for the family is the animal instinct in all of us and
exercise that doesn't provide food is not cost effective or beneficial.
We are hard wired to conserve energy, those who live and think energy is a must are the ones with the OCD (obsessive compulsory disorder), haven't realized they are wasting energy producing nothing. Humans will work and exercise to the level of need to provide with what ever occupation they have. A person wasting energy for needless exercise are not very good providers if they are too tired to help their family. I think a child would rather have their parents at home sharing communication and education with them than out chasing the wind.
Exercise is overrated when eating and food preparation and production are more valuable assets. Exercise has never proven to be any benefit to longevity or health and food has.
Conservation and eating unadulterated food is the name of the game.

excuses, excuses. When one looks at the body mechaniccs, it was built for running, not fast running. it is known that a human being can run for miles if performed at not such a fast pace. Thats how human hunters caugth their prey because they were able to out run them. their prey although faster and with faster acceleration tired out sooner and succombed to the human hunter. the tarahumra indians in mexico live by running; they are known throughout the world for long distance running, And, they don't fancy running shoes like we spoiled americans use. Before, native americans ran to hunt; this was before the horse was introduced to them. The Hopi Tribe in Arizona are known runners. I ran and was able to raise my family and go to school and work. Military personnel run and get the job done.

Zeppelin' Carries Flimsy Tale
World War I, a lukewarm conflagration judged by subsequent holocausts and sputteringly rekindled on screen in "The Blue Max" and "Von Richthofen and Brown," is touched off again by "Zeppelin," which arrived at local houses yesterday. This time the storied, giant, silver, cigar-shaped dirigible is carrying a flimsy, lighter-than-air spy tale that wouldn't burden a carrier pigeon.
Under the commonplace guidance of Etienne Perier, a Belgian director, Michael York portrays a square-jawed Scots lieutenant with strong family ties in Germany. He is surreptitiously recruited in 1915 to check on those dastardly Zeppelin guys in Friedrichshafen. Marius Goring, as a professor who wouldn't hurt a fly, has developed the LR-36, which can soar above British aircraft and ack-ack and is, therefore, a decided threat.
As a man supposedly torn between allegiances to country and family, York is merely tense, even though the climactic shoot-out ends with the Zeppelin down in flames and the Magna Carta and British morale intact.
Elke Sommer as the professor's wife and unlikely assistant is pretty but dowdy in vintage get-ups and a brown wig. The rest of the cast is simply athletic.
"For a spy, you're getting your money's worth," Miss Sommer tells York. An extravagant claim. Shortchanged would be closer to the mark.
The Cast

Posted on 08/22/2010 2:05:56 PM PDT by Qbert
As silly season in Washington continues, the Republican Party has decided to make it even sillier:
VINEYARD HAVEN, MASS. For the second straight year, the first family has landed on this island of quaint seaside towns, second homes and working farms for a late-summer getaway.
But this year, more so than last, political opponents are trying to hang a question over the visit: Does President Obama deserve a vacation? The Republican National Committee has taken to calling Obama the Clark Griswold president, a mocking reference to the Chevy Chase character in National Lampoons Vacation movies. With unemployment claims climbing again, the GOP was hoping its criticism would have a certain national resonance. And maybe it will.
One potential complication: Obama has spent far less time on vacation than his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, had at this point in his presidency.
That is fairly obvious, of course, considering that it is only the vociferous partisans that seem to bring this issue up time and time again when Presidents engage in the most inane types of leisure activities. Steven Taylor put it best, I think, when he talked about the golf meme back in June:
First, presidents deserve some down time. Do we really want them to have no rest and relaxation?
Second, conservatives in particular, who argue that we should recognize and accept the limitations of government should recognize that having a president work 24/7 is an inefficacious desire.
So let the President golf, let him go to Marthas Vineyard.
One can argue about the Presidents performance in office, and I largely think hes done a pretty bad job so far, but to criticize him for stuff like this is petty and stupid.
(Excerpt) Read more at outsidethebeltway.com ...
Zer0 needs to focus like a laser beam on something other than lining up his putts.
Why Yes a long stay in Leavenworth would do nicely.
Uh, I'd like to give the dope a PERMANENT vacation....
Dumb? Dumb is not knowing the equivalent political torture called, "Death by a Thousand Cuts."
Works pretty well.
He's great at providing the knives, too. The waffling worked well this week.
I getting pretty weary of people who criticize people who criticize the president. He's the President of the United States for gosh sakes. If the little man can't handle the (well deserved, IMHO)scrutiny, perhaps he should look for another line of work.
undocumentd mooooselum vacationeer
Lazy *ss and Fat *ss take their 479th vacation.
Worst Presidential couple in history.
But honestly, it's not just the fact that he takes vacations.. it's the over the top excursiveness, and the insensitivity it displays that is the real issue.
Actually in many ways this issue is just like the mosque one... Does a president have the right to take a vacation... of course. Should the President and his family go on extravagant trip after trip wearing the latest most expensive designer clothes and blowing 100's of thousands of dollars while the American economy burns... no.
This is not a question of rights. It's a question of doing what is right.
Key word here is "A." Not five. One. Same as many people get in a year.
He can't meet with George Soros and the K Street lobbyists at the White House, because it'd show up in the sign-in log.
" expensive"
Nay, extravagent. Lavish. Wasteful.
Hmmmmmm....wasteful at a time of foodstamps, homeless, despairing unemployed and dispossessed.
Out of touch.
Thank yew!
Bush used to go to his home in Crawford and work from there. That time out of Washington is being equated with posh vacations on Martha's Vineyard and Bar Harbor, Maine, as well as time spent in five star hotels in Spain, with 40 close friends.
"Key word here is A. Not five. One. Same as many people get in a year."
—Ok, I'll reword it for the GOP...:
"Does the President deserve his fifth vacation since July?"
First, I don't buy this idea that President Bush spent more time on vacation than Obama. The media has lied about similar things (claimed that Pres. Bush hadn't gone to Arlington on Memorial Day either - except a FReeper here linked the speech Pres. Bush gave at Arlington when he supposedly wasn't there).
Second, context if EVERYTHING. Taking personal time at one's own home isn't the same thing as jet-setting the World at public expense. Also, the economic times in 2000 weren't Depression Era, and so, it didn't show nearly so much contempt for those struggling.
This is just another pathetic attempt to keep the real media (so-called alternative media) from reporting what the drive-by media doesn't want known.
"Nothing to see here, move along. . ."
The dumbest assertion this month - republicans invented this meme just for this president.
I wish he'd play more golf and slow down the central management crap coming out of the White Crib. The less he does, the less damage he can cause. It is a little tone-deaf for Barry and Michelle-Omarosa to party every Wednesday night, have wagyu beef bashes, lavish trips with huge entourages, etc, while the unemployment rate goes up beyond even his own predictions, pension funds tank, and the economy circling the drain.
I imagine Lindsey Graham will come out and tell us that Obama was elected president and is entitled to taking all the vacations he wants.
I don't remember Bush taking ANY vacations during Katrina or 9/11. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't he spend his "off-time" mostly working on his ranch? Didn't he handle matters frequently from his ranch? I don't see the comparison. I don't ever remember Laura taking personal trip to Spain with friends either. Did I miss something?
The more time he spends vacationing on the taxpayer dollar, the less time he'll have in the office spending the taxpayer's grandchildren's dollars.
"First, I dont buy this idea that President Bush spent more time on vacation than Obama. The media has lied about similar things (claimed that Pres. Bush hadnt gone to Arlington on Memorial Day either - except a FReeper here linked the speech Pres. Bush gave at Arlington when he supposedly wasnt there)..."
Yeah, good points- wouldn't surprise me.
And how do we *really* know what Obama is doing "presidential-wise" while on vacation? His advisors of course will say that he's getting daily briefings, etc. but given the lack of transparency and amount of dishonesty with these people, who knows whether this is true or not?
What are we up to over the last 2 years, minus Wagyu beef parties...Day 90 maybe?
The loon deserves a sentence, not a vacation.
Hopefully, the former will replace the latter if Repubs manage to find the testosterone and grow a pair sometimes in the next millenium.
I don't recall any president ever taking a "news free" vacation.
Apparently obummer thinks this is a part time job.
Even Jimmah figured that one out.
The question is if the president deserves the most lavish luxurious royal vacation that is possible?
The answer is no, the president does not deserve royal treatment on our dime.
Israel and Iran are about to go head to head, our unemployment figures are going ever skyward, police in NY are now having to contend with protesters and supporters of this Victory Mosque ( no violence yet, but you really think it will stay peaceful?), our borders are more unstable than ever, and this so-called president is off in Martha's Vineyard deciding what kind of ice cream to try today. Absolutely pathetic.
I'm guessing he's probably having secret Arugula parties, too.
The O'bozo's had to cut one vacation short so they could start the next one on time.
At least when he is on the golf course he isn't poisoning America with more of his simplistic socialist claptrap.
"Zer0 needs to focus like a laser beam on something other than lining up his putts."
That is PUTZ!
Ruining a world beating economy and flushing 200 years of history down the crapper is a hard job of work; the man deserves his days of leisure. Let him rest up while the rest of us little people scrabble to hold on our little pieces of the American Dream. He'll pick up where he left off all too soon enough.
"Ruining a world beating economy and flushing 200 years of history down the crapper is a hard job of work; the man deserves his days of leisure. Let him rest up while the rest of us little people scrabble to hold on our little pieces of the American Dream. Hell pick up where he left off all too soon enough."
Fair enough. ;-)
Amazing, isn't it, that this needs to be pointed out?
"Key word here is A. Not five. One.
—Amazing, isn't it, that this needs to be pointed out?"
So the fact that the guy is basically on vacation for a month-a-half (separated by a bunch of fundraisers) before he takes his "official" once a year vacation is...irrelevant?
I also resent the use of the word "deserve" here.
Hey Mataconis.
Dumbest Democrat Meme Yet: The President Deserves Five Vacations in Two Months.
Where to begin...?
"A vacation...means...that he and his family won't be spending their money on them."
Hotel bills and restaurants are paid for privately by a president.
"A vacation is not several separate and distinct spots, time frames, regardless you're hitting the campaign stop during them."
I didn't say he took campaign stops *during* his vacations. He hits the campaign stops...when he returns to "work" after each vacation.
"Yes, that is irrelvant, as is your idea that a month-and-a-half *vacation* is somehow not a vacation before he takes his "official" vacation..."
That's basically the exact opposite of what I was saying if that "not" is meant to be in the sentence.
I realize there are bigger fish to fry, but all I'm saying is, if you ask the average Joe on the street- who's struggling to find work of pay his bills- whether POTUS needs another (lavish) vacation, and you're going to hear a response asking something along the lines of, "How many bleeping vacations does the guy need in less than two months?", or "I didn't know that he left the last vacation...". Most folks don't have the time or energy to engage in the semantic word games of the elites.
"...[H]e's the president, not a school teacher who gets the summer break because of the schedule."

This paper presents a clustering method called clustering design space exploration (CDS-ExpA) to accelerate the architectural exploration of behavioral descriptions in C and SystemC. The trade-offs between faster exploration versus optimality of results are investigated. Two variations of CDS-ExpA were developed: CDS-ExpA(min) and CDS-ExpA(max). CDS-ExpA(min) builds the smallest possible clusters while CDS-ExpA(max) builds the largest possible ones, reducing further the design space. Results show that CDS-ExpA(min) and CDS-ExpA(max) explore the design space 90% and 92% faster on average than a previously developed annealer-based exploration, method, at the expense of not finding 36% and 47% of the Pareto optimal designs and finding the smallest design that is 7% and 9% on average, larger, and the fastest design 28% and 32% slower, respectively.

My site offers a daily and a weekly email option. What I would like to do is not only allow the user to pick between either, but also when they do select the daily option, automatically also add them to the weekly one so that if they do get sick of the daily and go to unsubscribe they have the option of remaining on the weekly list.
I have tried setting up two feeds for the one form, the one that links to the daily list is conditional on them selecting "daily".
The one connected to the weekly list has no conditions.
However even when people select the daily option, they are only be added to the weekly list.
Any ideas on a work around? I'd really love to get this working asap.
Thanks for the great plugin

Hello, this plugin was working for me but isn't now. Perhaps with the upgrade to wp3.4...?
When I go to upload a pic for a new profile / user, the screen comes up for me to browse, find the photo, and hit the upload button. Then, instead of the photo coming up to crop, I have a grey screen with a 0 in the top left, nothing else.
Anyone else with this problem? Is there a fix?
Thank you in advance! :) I LOVE this plugin!!!

Marcus Camby Has Nobody To Play With
Published: April 22, 2001
(Page 5 of 6)
On the court, the Knicks missed him terribly. In a 15-minute span over the second and third quarters, the Knicks shot 1 for 18 and fell behind, 50-38. On most of their possessions, Van Gundy ran isolation plays, getting the ball into the hands of a potent scorer -- Sprewell or Houston -- while the rest of the team moved to the other side of the court, pulling their defenders away from the man with the ball. Essentially, the isolation reduces a marvelously intricate team sport to a game of high-level playground ball. Watching the same play unfold again and again, Camby said: ''C'mon, we're settling for jumpers. An isolation like that means all the points I get, I get by accident'' -- off a failed play or a tip-in.
He and Sprewell are the closest thing the Knicks have to best friends, Camby wanted to make clear. ''We hung out all the time; people said it was a clique. Until Latrell's girlfriend moved out to New York this year.'' No sooner has the team jet reached a new destination on the road than the two of them are waging marathon games of, yes, Sony Playstation 2's NFL Gameday 2001. ''The organization brings it for us,'' Sprewell says enthusiastically, ''and it's waiting in our rooms.'' Camby's manager, Rick Kaplan, says that Camby is more comfortable with the ball boys at the Garden than with most of his teammates. ''Marcus is a great guy, but he's not really good around adults.'' Camby is 27; Kaplan is 30.
At the restaurant, Camby's punch was replayed on television. A couple looked over from the bar, smiling politely. He took a sip of ginger ale and looked away. ''I saw it on NBC the other day,'' he said eventually. ''Marv Albert calling me classless. I'm like, 'He's in no position to say anything.''' In the fourth quarter of the Charlotte game, when the Knicks were down, 70-54, Camby's Motorola pager flashed. He had a message from a member of the Knicks' staff, who was seated near the bench and had been updating him throughout: ''A girl just got kicked out of the arena for pulling off her tank top. Don't u wish u were here?''
Camby laughed. It was one of the few moments of warmth I'd seen between the players and management in all the time I spent around the Knicks. Like many of his teammates, Camby is wary of almost everyone who tries to get near him, and he has good reason to be. In two separate cases, he was accused of accepting illegal cash, gifts and assorted favors when he was a star at the University of Massachusetts, both from would-be agents. It not only humiliated Camby; it also tainted the university, which was forced by the N.C.A.A. to relinquish its Final Four trophy and pay back $151,000 of the revenue earned from the tournament. Camby later reimbursed UMass, but the damage was done.
Now, Camby said, ''I don't trust anybody.'' An established agent is constantly offering a job to Camby's best friend, hoping, of course, that he'll bring Camby as a client. ''I only associate with a few people. I'm just an indoors type of person.''
What about all those N.B.A. groupies? ''They probably see dollar signs when they see me,'' he groaned. ''And the next thing you know, it's the baby mamas.'' Then, momentarily emboldened by the idea of his own celebrity, he sat up and added: ''Although, I'm the kind of guy, you never know just where I might show up. One day it could be the Fubu offices. Or it'll be the ESPN Zone,'' a theme restaurant in Times Square. ''They got this game where you just keep throwing a football through a hole. I can do that all day long. That place gets crowded, but I know the manager.'' He waved a weedlike arm through the air, miming the throwing motion, over and over.
Van Gundy, who complained recently to New York Magazine that the pregame chapel prayers the Knicks hold with their opponents may dampen their competitive fire, has never visited the Bible-study classes put on by his point guard, Charlie Ward. The players' hunger for connection and guidance was never more apparent to me than when I attended a couple of sessions on the road with Ward, Houston and the power forward Kurt Thomas. (The newly reacquired point guard Mark Jackson attends now, too.) Houston credits Ward with his born-again conversion three years ago. ''Ever since I gave my life to Christ, I'm having more fun, more sense of security.''
Houston was in charge of the group in Milwaukee, and we met in his suite. The players were all in sweats and stockinged feet; it felt like a sleepover. They had brought their own copies of ''The God Chasers Interactive Study Guide'' and ''Who Am I to Judge?'' a young-adult workbook Ward found in a Christian bookstore. Houston, who sat at a frail spinet desk, read aloud from the week's assignment: ''What does it mean to seek God's face?' I put, 'In your face.' How your daughter, when she wants your attention, you might be'' -- he swiveled his head from side to side, imitating distraction -- and she gets up in your face.'' Everyone liked this analogy. ''Yeah, I thought that was tight,'' Houston said.

I've just come back from Marrakech and I already miss Riad Anabel and Habiba.
I'm going to repeat briefly what it has already been said about this Riad and add maybe something new. It's spotless clean, elegant yet traditional, convenient location (if you turn right on the main road, coming from the riad, after 5 min walk there's Jemma El Fna; if you turn left instead, 2 min walk there's a small square with taxis: for 20 dirham/2 euro you can go anywhere in Marrakech, with 50-80 dirham to the airport (but you have to bargain hard). I suggest you to arrange a pick up service with the hotel when you arrive, if you don't know your way around). All rooms have very confortable beds and a beautiful moroccan style bathroom (some with shower, some with tub). Habiba will fulfill all your needs, and more... (I brought some mint plants at home with me that she found for me). We had a wonderful dinner cooked by her, I regret we didn't have more, but unfortunately there was not enough time, we wanted to try different places. But believe me, Habiba's dinner was the best of all. The Riad is just off a main road, in a very clean alley, perfectly safe area, and speaking of safety, I have to spend some words about it. Lately we have heard the news about riots in north Africa, assuming that in Morocco there is the same situation as in Libia and Tunisia..., more or less... WELL, IT'S NOT!!! Morocco has nothing to do with what is going on in North Africa. DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE NEWS: it's safe to go to Marrakech, nothing is going on: there has been a regular manifestation in february, like we have hundreds in Europe all the time, and that was it. So, don't worry and just go to Marrakech: you'll enjoy it! Just to be sure, you can check your government web site about going abroad to risky countries (in Italy, you can check http://www.viaggiaresicuri.it/?marocco ), and you'll see that is perfectly safe. Back to the Riad, now. I really think it's the best you can find considering all factors: service, rooms, location, price. I highly reccomend it. I'll definetly go there again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Riad Anabel is a Beautiful Guest House - B&B in the old and traditional Medina of Marrakech. Habiba will welcome you in a real familial and friendly way. Defintely helpful, she will provide services as cookery classes...etc...served with a fluent English, French and Arabic...Welcome to your home ! ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Orbitz, Hotels.com, Agoda, Priceline, Odigeo and Travelocity so you can book your Riad Anabel reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Is it worth it? :confused:


text: The second debut release is already packed and issued: Lomi Lomi's Heroizm Woli (The Heroism of Will). A band set up by Piotr Domagalski of Levity and Profesjonalizm secretly conceived and produced an album. The thing is a masterpiece in DIYism: the cover is hand-glued (after being machine-embroidered), stamped and so on. A true heroism of will. The geomusical parameters you will have to figure out yourselves, but we're hooked. Buy the record here, and check out the so-called single below.

An award also goes to the Scranton, Pa., police who charged Dawn Herb after neighbors complained that she swore loudly at an overflowing toilet.

Vols. I, II and III have already been reviewed in these columns. Vols. IV and V complete the work. The translation has been very liberal and at times the matter greatly condensed. The omission of the short bibliography which follows each principal subject in the original is a distinct loss to the translated edition, a loss for which the slight saving in space does not at all compensate. Each volume has its own index beside a general index at the end of the fifth volume which covers fifty pages and which is complete, enabling one quickly to find any subject desired.
