"You want to hear a story about Travis Rice? I'll tell you a story about that kid."
The agent at the Jackson Hole airport check-in counter tags my snowboard bag through to Valdez, Alaska and leans over with a Cheshire-Cat grin: "When Travis was about five years old, he would come into the ski-patrol shack with his dad every day. He always wore this patroller jacket that came down past his knees, and he would just tear around the place. It didn't matter what you told him. He just ran around and did whatever he wanted."
I stand at the counter patiently, waiting for the story to continue. It doesn't. That's it. That's the end. A moment of awkward silence passes between us. The man's eyes crinkle in amusement as I struggle for comprehension. And then it dawns on me.
"So, basically, nothing's changed," I say.
He shrugs his shoulders and, with raised eyebrows, smiles again. "You tell me."
Two days later, I'm sitting in the back of a helicopter next to Curt Morgan, the other half of Travis' new production company, Brainfarm. (Curt and Travis met back when Curt was making movies for Grenade and continued working together on the Community Project.) We're in the Chugach mountain range, in an area of the Valdez backcountry known as Science Fiction. It's the second sunny day they've seen in three weeks, but the weather is a mixed blessing: The sun arrived the day before with a giant windstorm, and the slopes that haven't been wind-hammered have been wind-loaded. Safe, rideable aspects are few and far between. The consensus among the riders—Mark Landvik, Nicolas Müller, Jeremy Jones, and Travis—is that, while they might have found some lines that look good enough to film, the conditions are such that none of them can really "send it," or ride to their full potential. Frustrations are mounting as the day wears on.
The Final Act
Alaska is the last stand in the behemoth battle that Travis and Curt have been waging against "uncontrollable forces" over the last two years in a quest to create their tour de force: a snowboard-adventure epic entitled That's It, That's All—a cinematic vision described by those who've seen pieces of the project along the way as "the Planet Earth of snowboarding."
Under the guidance of AK riding veteran Jeremy Jones, Curt and Travis have spent the last fourteen months planning this Alaska trip, trying to take into account every conceivable snafu that could arise to thwart them. They've given themselves a month to wait for a window of good weather. They've hired guides from H20—the Valdez heli operation that holds use-permits for the most amount of terrain in the area—procured two dedicated helicopters and pre-paid for 96 hours of flight time.
Mention this number to any professional skier, snowboarder, or lensman with AK filming experience and watch their eyes grow wide as they do a cost calculation in their heads. Even with a substantial cost-per-hour discount, 96 hours is an unheard of amount of time for any film crew to spend flying in a heli. This extravagance is one of the many that has created such a buzz in the snowboard community. When it comes to going over the top in ways that no shred-movie company has ever even thought of before, Travis and Curt are standing in the eye of a hurricane of their own creation with their eyes on the prize, while around them rumors and prophecies of both doom and greatness swirl.
Over the radio an H20 guide out flying a few peaks over with another film crew is calling in a zone that they're intending to land in and ride. A swift answer comes back from headquarters: that zone is off limits. Travis' crew has already scoped it and called dibs. The others will have to go somewhere else. This is what pre-paying for 96 hours of heli time gets you—first pick of every unridden peak within H20's permit range. And it's worth every penny. The weather's only supposed to hold for a week. That's one week to shoot the final all-our-remaining-eggs-are-in-this-one-AK-basket segment that will bring the filming portion of this two-year project to a close. The pressure is on.
Back in the camera helicopter, Curt has his handheld radio pressed against his forehead. Travis has just delivered some harshly worded opinions about how he believes the remainder of the day's events should unfold that are in direct contradiction to the plan Curt just tried to implement. Curt has his eyes closed and lets out a deep exhale before deferring to Travis' plan with a short, sarcastic reply.
Curt dismisses the moment as the result of creative tension. Travis will later apologize for the outburst, explaining that they had been waiting for so long for a good filming day, he was impatient to get things moving. And he and Curt are both alpha males, so they inevitably clash over whose way is right from time to time. The tension is always temporary.
A New Way Of Seeing Things
Jeremy Jones has just been dropped off on a nearby peak, so we take off to set up the aerial shot. He is perched on a narrow ledge above a long, razor-thin spine. Between Jeremy and the spine is a fifteen- to twenty-foot drop. Between him and that drop is a blind rollover. From where he sits, he can't see a thing besides the valley floor below him.
Hovering above Jeremy, the consummate professional with nerves of steel (who, by the way, is riding with a broken arm) as he waits patiently for the various cameramen to take their positions, is gnarly enough. Then Curt leans over and shows me his perspective. He's holding a small monitor that's displaying what the heli camera is looking at: Jeremy, in the center of the frame, is solidly in focus, while the valley floor beyond spins around him like a room after a night of heavy drinking.
Anyone who's watched a decent snowboard movie in the last ten years has seen Jeremy standing on top of a miniscule mountain peak, preparing to descend some hairball spine in Alaska. But no one has ever seen anything like this. From this perspective Jeremy is less like a snowboarder, and more like Luke Skywalker in that scene in Star Wars where Vader's just chopped off his hand, and he's dangling by one arm from the bottom of a floating pod building above an endless sea of clouds. The depth-of-field captured by the camera is frightening. It looks like the slightest wrong move will send him tumbling thousands of feet to his doom. Terror rips up my spine, and I fight back the urge to vomit. And finally, I understand what all the hype around this movie is about.
The hype is a bazillion-dollar Cineflex camera system mounted to the bottom of the helicopter. It's hard to get a technical description in layman's terms of exactly what this thing is. Until now, most snowboarding captured on film from the air has been the result of some brave lensman in a harness leaning out of a heli door with a handheld camera. In contrast, this camera sits in a ball-in-socket mount that's fiber-optic gyro-stabilized, which means it doesn't rattle, so the images it captures are smooth like butter. And it has a 360-degree rotational view, which means it can spin in all directions, making it possible to film a subject regardless of where it's positioned under the heli.
The Cineflex (which, incidentally, was used exclusively to film the award-winning documentary, Planet Earth) is similar in design and function to the more famous Wescam and Pictorvision XR, which are the camera systems most commonly used in the filming of blockbuster Hollywood movies like Lord Of The Rings—both of which have also been employed to film a good portion of this movie. The main difference between the three systems is the Cineflex is lighter and shoots HD, while the other two shoot 35mm film. Beyond that, they're basically the highest-end camera systems around that, according to Curt, deliver "super high-def, IMAX-quality footage" that "no one of our age or bank-account status could ever really afford to rent or borrow or buy."
And therein lies the reason no other action-sports movie production crew has tried to use a Cineflex or Wescam before. It's not that they don't want to, it's that few companies—including Brainfarm—can afford to. So how has this duo supposedly been able to obtain these Holy Grails of cinematographic equipment? Apparently, in the case of the Cineflex, Curt tracked down a few of the small number of people in the world who own one and talked them into letting him use it.
The feat sounds deceptively simple. One of the things that makes Travis and Curt such a fearsome team is that when it comes to obstacles, they both seem to have been born with a kind of superhero ability to walk right through them like they're not even there. When it comes to the art of persuasion, though, Curt's in a class of his own. The universally agreed upon opinion among all who know him is that he can talk anyone into just about anything.
"I've always wanted to see more aerial riding shots," says Curt when asked about what motivated him to attempt the impossible. "It's my favorite way to watch snowboarding. And there are some great shots out there, but I've always thought it could be done better."
I watch Curt in action on his version of "better." The scene inside the heli is hectic. Mark Hryma—a Cineflex designer and operator who has over fifteen years of experience, but is relatively new to shooting snowboarding—is sitting shotgun in the cockpit with a monitor and gianormous knob-filled control panel on his lap. Curt is sitting in the back seat next to a stack of whirring electronic boxes, looking into the monitor on his own lap, directing. The flow of orders from the back of the heli is constant, as Curt coaches Mark through every aspect getting the shot just right.
Both Mark and Curt are trying to direct the pilot—an ex-army vet who's flown more hours than almost any other pilot in Valdez, but has never had to fly with a camera before, and can't quite understand what Mark and Curt are trying to get him to do. The situation is tense for everyone. Because the heli is hovering above the riders, he can't see them, has no frame of reference for where he's supposed to be, and often gets confused. Just when they think they've got a shot lined up, the pilot drifts off course, and they have to circle around and start over. At one point he even accidentally lets the heli drift down on top of the riders, who have to yell over the radios that he's about to blow them off the mountain with his rotor wash.
We make another practice pass over Jeremy, and Curt explains to Mark what he's trying to achieve: "When we come over the top, I want to see what he's seeing. We want to start off blind and see the drop just as he gets over the rollover and sees it himself. Everything in the shot should be revealed to us just as it's being revealed to him." Curt turns his screen toward me so I can watch. My stomach heaves again. "I want people to feel," he continues, "I mean, really feel, what it's like to be up here, riding things like this."
Travis Rice: Producer/Star
In the third That's It, That's All teaser, Travis explains how he wants this movie to show what snowboarding is like for him. A montage of shots of Travis getting angry and chucking his snowboard flashes on screen while Travis says, "I'd say it's when I feel passion. That is, if passion is a combination of utter joy and frustrational rage." It is a strange thing to watch. It's a side that those of us who are mostly used to seeing Travis when he's home in Jackson, happily ripping pow laps with his friends sans camera entourage at the resort, haven't really seen before.
Four days into the trip I get to witness an outburst live. The wind has blown a giant, perfectly shaped orb of snow directly above a beautiful, long, steep-transitioned landing, and the crew has built a massive cheese-wedge takeoff on the other side. Viewed from the top of the ultra-long, steep run-in, it looks like the jump will send them right into the glacier crevasses in the valley beyond. It took them almost a day to construct, and to say Travis and Mark Landvik are excited to reap the fruits of their labor would be an understatement.
Unfortunately, when we arrive at the jump in the morning, the sun has heated up the snow so much that Mark and Travis can't get enough speed to clear the orb. Fortunately, they brought a bag of rock salt to throw on the takeoff. Unfortunately, when they start to spread it out they realize that it's rock salt mixed with gravel.
They experiment with alternative solutions. One of the helis hovers a few feet above the takeoff in an attempt to cool down the run-in with the wind of the rotor blades. Travis strips off every top layer down to his polypro, to eliminate wind resistance, and points it in a full tuck at the jump from what seems like 10,000 feet away. But for all his effort, he still has to throw his board sideways at the top of the takeoff because he knows he's not going to make it.
He hops off the wedge, unstraps, stares up at the run-in for a long minute, and then with a cry, turns and savagely attacks the bag of gravel-salt with his snowboard. The moment lasts maybe seven seconds. No one else even seems to notice.
"Travis is intense, man," laughs Brainfarm filmer and production assistant Brody Thompson when I mention the salt-bag assault during dinner later. "But this is his job. Aren't we all intense at our jobs when we really passionately care about what we're doing?" He points out that less than five minutes after the jump was declared dead, Travis had a new plan.
"Travis likes to turn everything into a competition," he explains. "Not because he has to win, because he's cool if he loses. It's just more fun for him if he's trying to win."
This is Travis' movie; his level of involvement goes beyond being a rider—he's a producer, he's a director, and, make no mistake, he is the star, not by words, but by actions.
"His level of snowboarding is so high," says team photographer Tim Zimmerman, "that when I try to shoot with other people, I just get bored. When other snowboarders ride with Travis, I swear they ride better. And I get so used to what I see that it just becomes normal for me. Like the Mosquito Creek gap he did this winter. He jumped a canyon! And I show people the photo and they're like, 'Holy shit! That guy's crazy!' But I'm so used to it. Then I try to go shoot with other people, and they're doing like a regular backcountry jump, and I just… can't get excited about it. It's a problem."
Asked if he thinks he rides better when Travis is around, Landvik responds: "I think he and I feed off each other. But there are times when he's throwing double cork 1080s and shit when I'm like, 'Well, what am I going to do now? Am I going to do a 720 off this jump?" No. I'm going to do the biggest method I've ever done in my life.
"It seems like every trip I've been on he's trying some new crazy trick," Landvik continues. "And he gets it, like every time. It doesn't matter if it takes him one try or 50. He's going to get that trick no matter what. If it breaks him, then he's broken. From what I've seen, though [laughs], he never gets broken."
"From what I've seen up here so far," says Jeremy, "it's clear that Nicolas [Müller], Landvik, and Travis are all leaders. They're so professional and so motivated. But Travis is just one step beyond … for example, one thing I've never seen before—he can spot jumps from the air. I can't tell you how many times I've been up here with freestyle riders who fly around trying to find jumps for weeks and find nothing. Travis is just like, 'Boom, there's one. Put us down right there. We're going to build the thing this way, and it's going to be sick.' And it is.
"Another thing is, I'm watching his riding progress like every run—I mean, real big-mountain freeriding. He just has a really good sense. It's hard to explain. Mark and Travis are very similar-type riders. They're really powerful—stomp everything. And Nicolas has his own totally original, creative style. I just think you have to be a little demented for some of the bigger stuff, and… [laughs] Travis is a little demented. If he decided that's what he wanted to do, he could really take true big-mountain riding to a new level."
Moving Forward
Though praise of Travis' shred skills by riders who are praise-worthy in their own rights is not unexpected, considering the main complaint about Travis and Curt's last movie project was that Travis' riding overpowered everyone else in the film, to hear it is somewhat troubling. Asked if that might be a problem with this movie as well, cinematographer Gabe Langlois answers, "The Community Project was an awesome idea, but it was complicated, and there wasn't enough time to really pull it off the way, I think, they wanted to. But this is a two-year project, so we've really been able to take our time and plan things out the right way.
"Thing about Travis is, he really respects people who can actually snowboard, like who can do a good-looking turn and actually ride a mountain—as opposed to, you know, sliding around between jumps. So, he's put together these kind of 'dream teams,' where the people have been handpicked for each trip based on the riding they all are the absolute best at. But, basically, everyone in this film he's picked because he completely respects them and loves how they ride, and he really just wants to snowboard with them. And it shows."
"The rad thing about this movie," says Landvik, "is Curt is on the exact same level as Travis, just on the film side. And he really wants to change the perception of snowboarding for other people in so many different ways. It's not like your typical shred video, where it's all people's parts you might only like one or two of them. It's like a snowboarding documentary. You get involved with the riders and the places they go to. You care about everything that happens."
"A lot of inspiration for this film," adds Travis, "is just wanting to show these places that we get to go and the cool shit that we do. And through a visual lens that can actually give you the feeling of being there. This is the first time I've ever been able to show someone footage and feel like they're really getting to see the same thing that we see when we're out there."
"And maybe people will never get to see the things we do," says Curt, "but we really just want to inspire people to go out and travel and explore for themselves. I know not everyone can afford it, but you can figure it out—anyone can. You just have to take it one step at a time."

2004 Engines Preview
|Diesels: Yanmar
Yanmar Diesel has just upped its horsepower range with the new 900-hp 8SY-STP and 720-hp 6SY-STP.
The smaller of the two, the 6SY-STP, was unveiled at last year's Miami International Boat Show and is a four-stroke, direct-injection, in-line six-cylinder engine with a continuous rating of 575 hp at 2100 rpm and a maximum output of 720 hp at 2300 rpm. It measures just 56"x34"x41" and weighs 2,560 pounds.
Having made its U.S. debut at the 2003 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the 8SY-STP is a 16-liter, twin turbocharged and intercooled V-8 designed for more power with less weight, maximized torque at low revs, improved fuel economy, reduced emissions, and simplified servicing.
Both engines feature an Engine Management System (EMS) designed to regulate the entire injection process to ensure optimum combustion and fuel economy while reducing smoke and emissions. Servicing is said to be easy, thanks to the combination of built-in diagnostics with integrated fault-tracing and an engine design with easy access service points. Yanmar's unique individual cylinder heads are light enough to be removed and replaced by one person.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other Legislative leaders marked the completion of the two-year state Capitol restoration Wednesday with the unveiling of a stained-glass skylight above the Senate staircase.
Repairs on the landmark structure, which had suffered neglect, were completed 18 months early and $2.3 million under budget, announced Mark Schaming, director of the state Museum.
"This building is not just a building," Cuomo said Wednesday before revealing the new window. "And all the work that went in was not about completing an office structure. This is a symbol of public service. It is a symbol that says to people all across this state: 'Your government is here, and your government is functioning. And you can trust your government.'"
The unveiling comes the morning of Cuomo's third-annual State of the State address, in which he will lay out his agenda for the year. He is expected to focus on enacting tougher gun control laws and bolstering the state economy.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, as well as Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos of Nassau County and Independent Democratic Conference Leader Jeffrey Klein, D-Bronx, attended the ceremony.
"In 1899, it was Governor Teddy Roosevelt who dedicated this building for the first time," Schaming said. "At the time, it was considered the most beautiful state Capitol in the nation and an architectural wonder."
Schaming said the building has not just been restored but improved, as defects like a leaky roof have been repaired.
"The Capitol has not looked this good since it first opened," Schaming said. "Teddy Roosevelt would be proud today."

Darren McFadden ? Injured? You don't say.
The Raiders' star running back is on the injury report this week because of a shoulder problem, and he was limited in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. Head coach Dennis Allen tried to calm the nerves when he said Thursday that McFadden's shoulder injury is only a bruise.
"That really hasn't been a factor," Allen said of McFadden's shoulder.
Fantasy Analysis:
Yeah, so don't worry about McFadden this week. He'll be ready to roll Sunday against the Broncos. McFadden has played seven career games versus Denver and has averaged 106 yards from scrimmage per game. Also, six of his 21 touchdowns have come against the Broncos. Don't stress if you see McFadden being held back a bit in practice; you're starting him with a boatload of confidence in Week 4.

Jeremy McKinney, "'It's a Trap': cDNA Is Patent Eligible! But Is It Patentable?," 10 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 69 (2014)
"On June 13, 2013, the Supreme Court issued a long-awaited decision in Ass'n for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. (a.k.a. the Myriad gene patents case). The Court, in a rare unanimous decision, held that "a naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated, but that cDNA is patent eligible because it is not naturally occurring." This ruling upset thirty years of settled expectations, as inventors and companies have relied on patent protection for their work in gene isolation. This case note will explore the implications of this ruling on future research, and innovation in the wake of the Court's decision."
Maxwell S. Bayman, Subsidizing Advanced Nuclear Energy, 9 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 62 (2013)
"This paper reviews the historical development of nuclear energy and compares it to other alternative sources of energy production. Section two discusses the process of planning, build-ing, and operating a nuclear facility and the tax consequences of each stage. The third section reviews and critiques the production tax credit for advanced nuclear facilities. Finally, this paper considers alternative tax-based solutions to promote nuclear energy through changes to corporate tax brackets and amendments to the credit system."
Shivan Mehta, Patent Reform Act of 2010: The Time for Change Is Now, 7 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 56 (2011)
"The Patent Reform Act of 2010 is a significant undertaking that will modernize the patent system by harmonizing American creativity and innovation with that of other developed countries. Continuous pressure and valid attempts to reform the patent system have existed throughout the last decade; however, the Patent Reform Act of 2010 has presented the most advantageous changes to the current patent system. This note concentrates on details surrounding the major reformations present in the Patent Reform Act of 2010, which are expected to impact the American patent system. Much controversy is associated with many of the reforms due to the varying effects the Act stands to generate as a result of its ratification. Although the opinions of both the proponents and opponents of this Act are discussed, this note inherently appreciates and acknowledges the ultimate benefit the Reform Act of 2010 will render on the American technology market, i.e., synchronizing the processes for American creativity and innovation with those of developed countries and possibly stimulating essential innovations in the intellectual property realm."
Josh Harrison, Do the Evolution: The Effect of KSR v. Teleflex on Biotechnology, 5 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 42 (2009)
"This note analyzes KSR v. Teleflex and the effects the Court's holding is likely to have on the biotech industry. Part II begins the discussion with a brief overview of biotechnology's current and anticipated impact on human life. Part III addresses the intimate relationship between biotech and patent law, exploring what is needed and why for the field to prosper. Part IV outlines the general principles of the U.S. patent law system and succinctly delineates the progression of the "non-obvious" doctrine from the Supreme Court's Graham framework to the Federal Circuit's TSM test. In so doing, particular emphasis is deservingly paid to the troubling issue of hindsight bias and to the pervasive consequences it poses to proper patent analysis. Part V provides an introduction to the case, KSR v. Teleflex, and discusses its facts, its procedural history, and the Supreme Court's ruling and rationale. Part VI examines the decision and explores its likely impact on the future of biotechnology in America. Part VII discusses procedural alternatives available to better address hindsight bias and concerns regarding patent over-issuance. Part VIII concludes this note."
Elizabeth A. Richardson, Toward a Direct Functional Relationship Requirement for Claims to Software Encoded on a Computer-Readable Storage Medium: Rethinking In re Beauregard in Response to the USPTO's Interim Guidelines Regarding the Patentability of Data Signal Claims, 3 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 30 (2006)
As applied to software-related inventions, one of the most difficult and persistent issues in patent law is the appropriate scope of 35 U.S.C. § 101, which defines patentable subject matter. Specifically, the law remains unsettled as to whether claims to computer-readable media containing software (often called "Beauregard-type" or "floppy disk" claims) and claims to data signals embodied on carrier waves fall within the scope of § 101 as a general matter. Achieving final resolution of this question has important implications not only for patent law but for a wide swath of the information technology industry, as electronic distribution becomes an increasingly attractive means for dissemination of software. This paper explores the patentability of these Beauregard-type stored software claims under §§ 101 – 103 of the Patent Act through examination of several key Federal Circuit cases and policies of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
D. Ward Hobson, Jr., Reforming the Patent System: A Closer Look at Proposed Legislation, 3 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 29 (2006)
This paper examines the purpose of the proposed reforms and their potential effect on the patent system. Part II discusses whether the U.S. should adopt a first to file system. Part III looks at the passage of questionable patents and the proposed post-grant review process. Part IV examines whether prior art should be limited to information that is "reasonably and effectively accessible". Part V addresses the duty of good faith and candor, and Part VI examines willful infringement and treble damages in patent litigation.

Matt Rodgers, Attorney-Client Privilege in Patent Litigation: In Re Spalding Sports Worldwide, 1 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 3 (2003)
Matt Rodgers, a 2003 graduate of the University of Oklahoma College of Law, provides this insight into the current status of attorney-client privilege in patent litigation. The Federal Circuit recently resolved a legal dispute that had split district courts for several decades regarding the application of the privilege in patent litigation. Some circuits followed the theory that patent attorneys act as mere conduits to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Since their clients had no expectation of confidentiality, the communications were not privileged. Other circuits reasoned that patent attorneys are more than mere conduits, and that communications from client to patent attorney should be accorded the same protection as any other legal communication. The Federal Circuit held in In re Spalding Sports Worldwide that communications between a client and patent attorney are privileged, even if they contain mostly technical data, as long as the communication was made for the purpose of obtaining legal advice.

Dave Matthews hitchhikes to his own show
Listen to Dave Matthews Band on iHeartRadio
Dave Matthews learned he can truly count on his fans for anything. After going on a bike ride before his show in Hershey, PA over the weekend, Dave's tire popped - leaving him stranded without a cell phone.
Lucky for Dave, a fan, Emily Kraus and her boyfriend, were on their way to the concert when they stopped for the musician on the side of the road to help him.
Dave was so thankful, he told the audience the entire story. He also treated Emily and her boyfriend to dinner, invited them backstage, and upgraded them to front row for the concert!

This guy is shooting up draft boards. There's rumor that San Diego might be looking at him at the 12th spot, so he might be another option at 13. He apparently did really well in testing and against the other top prospects for the draft, so he could be another way to go. What have you guys heard about him?
p.s. I really think OLB in our 3-4 is a big need. We sound close to getting Ellis Johnson for another player on the D-line, so I think we need to look OLB with either Ware or Merriman, OT with Barron or possibly S with Davis in the first round.

You guys just traded up into the first round last season to land another DE/OLB that was shooting up the draft boards in Jason Babin. He would be the guy rushing the QB now you should look to get more of a coverage backer to play opposite him and it would help if it wasn't another rookie. But thats all just my opinion.

good point, never really thought about that. But I think Wong and Greenwood in the middle are gonna be good, and Babin will really pick it up tihs year. Another good rush OLB could really create some pressure on QBs.

Post subject: yup
i think our linebackers will be good wong and greenwood on the inside, babin and peak on the out side, i hope we dont draft a lb, we have too many holes to draft for depth,also with the commitment on our 3 defensive lineman again i dont see them drafting soley on depth, the positions where they could use some immediate help would be corner, and wide reciever, also with all the reports from so called experts it looks like they will consider barron, even after the comments of how they were determined on keeping the core of offensive lineman from last year together, (might be a "smoke screen") but from all the mocks and expert picks they always seem to have barron conveniantly falling to 13, or defensive lineman or linebacker, i hope just my feeling on how they should aproach the draft is that they target troy williamson, if mike williams is available i think again you jump on him, another scenerio would be pacman falling to 13, think about that a foundation with 2 solid corners (since pacman is unproven i wont go as far as saying he will be a shut down corner but he's the new breed when it comes to corners in the nfl) even rolle but i think rolle is going to be the first corner taken in the draft and then you might see pac man slip, i hope the texans address there needs this draft, it's not the most talented draft but they could definately improve where they need improvement, i have much faith in casserly

I agree with not taking a LB in round 1. Peek has shown too much ability not to at least get a shot. They could better shore up the LBs by taking an ILB later on which will allow them to bounce Wong back and forth. ILBs come cheaper and last longer in the draft. In round 1, I think they get Cedric Benson if he is there and Troy Williamson if he isn't. If they are both gone, then get a CB like Carlos Rogers. In round 2 they get either a WR or CB depending on what they drafted in round 1, and in round 3 they can go BPA and get whatever guys slip like Chris Canty, Elton Brown, or Channing Crowder. I also really like Jovan Haye and Chris Colmer.

So, I've tried taking a journey through Linux a few times now with lets says less than happy results. I just recently bought an usb alf wifi card, and decided to give Backtrack another try. I have ran into nothing but problems, literally one after another. I also tried Ubuntu, and it seemed nothing worked right either.
As for Backtrack, I've tried Backtrack 5 r1 32 bit and 64 bit, and also Backtrack 5 32 bit and 64 bit, all with their set of problems. The first issue that I've tried to get past with all versions is, I have a pci broadcom card in my acer aspire one, and it seems I have to install my own driver for it. Backtrack 5 r1 won't let me compile the broadcom driver period. I download the driver, unpack it, try to make clean it, and it gives me an error saying cfg80211 and wireless extension isn't enabled in kernel. Now if I run just make, it'll start, but won't compile the actual .ko file, it throws up an error saying something like too few arguments in some function. It does this with both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. I have also tried installing jockey and installing the sta driver through that, and it throws up an error saying installation couldn't continue. I have made sure backtrack is fully updated, and that I have the kernel sources and linux sources, and still throws up those errors.
Backtrack 5 will actually let me compile the driver and then install it, both versions 32 bit and 64 bit. It still throws up an error on make clean, saying neither cfg80211 nor wireless extension is enabled in kernel. Make runs and creates a .ko file but still throws me some errors, but it installs fine. The problem is, when I try to connect to my network, the OS completely freezes. I can however restart, and try again but it freezes just the same. However, now I can't even get into Backtrack, it freezes soon after typing startx, sometimes I'll get the backtrack backsplash and others I won't. Either way, the OS won't start.
Now I don't know if I just have crappy luck with Linux, or if this operating system is just so buggy its unusable. I have looked into every error I'm getting, and it seems I've only been able to come up with one post on the entire internet, and the issue is still unresolved.
I have a brand new Acer Aspire One with an AMD C-60, brand new processor just released, so I'm not sure if that's the issue I wouldn't see why it would be but whatever. Anyways, I'd appreciate anything anyone has to say about my issue, and whether I should just quit trying with Linux or what. I also didn't mention that I tried installing the newest Ubuntu and just installing aircrack on that, but that also ended in a ton of errors. I've been trying to get some form of Linux up and running on this netbook now for the past 4 days.

ZaReason UltraLap 440 Review Part 1: Baptism by fire
[BLOGGER'S NOTE: Yeah, it's unconventional to do a review in two parts this way, but the timing of my receiving the ZaReason UltraLap 440 coincided by chance with the week leading up to SCALE 12X, perhaps the busiest time of my year. All of which is to say, as you'll see below, that a lot of work was thrown at this machine during the course of the week prior to SCALE 12X, during SCALE 12X itself, and immediately after SCALE 12X. The tl:dr here is that it performed flawlessly and more detail is forthcoming in Part 2].
The e-mail came as expected: ZaReason CEO Cathy Malmrose wrote me the day before asking me if she could introduce me to the new ZaReason marketing manager, Vy Nguyen. "Of course," I said. Vy wrote me and asked me if I could review the new ZaReason laptop, the UltraLap 440, like I did with the ZaReason Alto 3880 a couple of years ago.
As if you have to twist my arm to try new hardware. Gladly, I said. However, there was a minor detail: With this request coming in February, my attention was locked laser-like on the Southern California Linux Expo and that the rigors of this show had better make this laptop a hard worker with the ability to process a lot of data for long periods of time at the touch of these unusually fat fingers.
In other words, this hardware was going to get slammed under nearly constant 12-hour-a-day-minimum use for the next few weeks.
Long story short, the UltraLap 440 worked like a champ in the weeks leading up to SCALE 12X, during SCALE 12X and immediately after SCALE 12X.
First things first: Off with Ubuntu and on with a distro on which I can get real work done. That would be Korora 20 KDE (though later on, as you'll read in the next review, other distros were given a test run on this hardware). Copy over my home directory onto the new laptop, make a few adjustments and I am good to go.
As mentioned earlier on many occasions, I'm a ThinkPad guy at heart, so when a smaller, lighter form factor crosses my radar, skepticism rears its ugly head. "So, kid, show me what you've got," was my first response taking the laptop out of the box.
This skepticism was squashed fairly quickly. This hardware is a "lightweight" in form-factor only; the UltraLap 440 did the same tough work, under the same tough conditions under which I put some of the more traditionally hard-core hardware, and it passed this test with flying colors (and, to be honest, I could be easier on hardware. But in my defense I'm not hard on hardware on purpose. I'm just an incredibly clumsy oaf with heavy fingers).
Also, battery life on this hardware deserves special mention. On more than one occasion over the course of the SCALE 12X weekend — usually when picking up the laptop and running with it under my arm, like a football, to some emergency — I had neglected to plug in the laptop. I never ran out of power, noticing at one point that I was somewhere in the 20s, percentage wise, after just over three hours of battery use under some fairly trying conditions that included, but was not limited to, a high number of file exchanges from external drives, USB sticks and SD cards, to say nothing of live streaming video monitoring during the course of the show.
The old saying is essentially correct: Good things actually do come in small packages. The 14-inch screen — the HD display is one of the strong points, despite the fact it took a little getting used to from the nearly square ThinkPad screen — did not hamper my personal work performance. There are even little things that bear big mentions, like the multi-monitor support coming in very handy during the show, or the 8GB of RAM — an optional upgrade for $59 that is well worth the expense — helping to carry a heavy load without breaking a sweat.
For the few weeks around SCALE 12X, the UltraLap 440 gets high marks for grace under pressure, and its use in non-show conditions — let's call that normal day-to-day use — will be the topic of the next review.
Coming next, ZaReason UltraLap 440 Review Part 2: Daily life with the ZaReason UltraLap 440 that does not include the best Linux/FOSS show of the year, highlighting the upsides of this machine — and there are many — and the downside — primarily one, which is easily overcome.

My uncle, Francis J. Cusimano, was a member of the New York Province of the Jesuits. Pedro Arrupe, at the time superior general of the order, sent him to Nigeria, where he spent 20 years building schools and parishes before his too-early death over a decade ago. I miss him. He was one of the influences that attracted me to my vocation in Catholic education.
My uncle once led off a homily with the old Jesuit joke: A Franciscan, a Dominican and a Jesuit came upon the Holy Family in the stable. The Franciscan was awed that God was born into poverty among the animals. The Dominican was captivated by the Incarnation. The Jesuit pulled Mary aside and asked her, "Have you thought about where you are going to send him to school?" Uncle Frannie then asked, "Where are you going to school?" Every day the world schools our hearts with lessons in violence, selfishness, greed, materialism—in the false gods of what Blessed Pope John Paul II described as the culture of death. Are we Catholics, then, schooling our hearts instead in God's call to justice and peace?
It is a challenging question, one that Pope Benedict XVI took as his theme for the celebration of the 45th World Day of Peace on Jan. 1, 2012: "Educating Young People in Justice and Peace." The Jasmine Revolutions and the birth of the new South Sudan underscore the pope's message. "Young persons must labor for justice and peace in a complex and globalized world," said a Vatican statement announcing the theme, and we all share responsibility for preparing future generations.
The good news is that peace is breaking out. Internationally, the number of major armed conflicts has decreased by half over the past 20 years. The waning of war creates a challenge: how to keep the guns silent. Sustaining peace in regions torn by decades of violence requires going back to school. Children in war zones have learned more than anyone ought to know of violence. How can people learn peace who have never known peace?
Solidarity with the wider church helps in peace education around the world. In Sudan, the Philippines, Palestine, Colombia and elsewhere, Catholic Relief Services partners with local dioceses, parishes and nongovernmental organizations to integrate peace education into the curricula and methods of schools and madrasas. Teachers are trained in "paths to peace," which include: dismantling the culture of war; building intercultural respect, reconciliation and solidarity; promoting human rights and responsibilities; and cultivating inner peace. Interactive exercises help students and teachers learn how to "do" peace, how to resolve conflict nonviolently.
Peace education is hard in places like South Sudan, where the armed forces of Sudan still bomb civilians in refugee camps in the south. The church in Sudan uses Peace Radio broadcasts to reach people outside school and parish settings. Likewise, Jesuit Refugee Service and local partners educate refugees. Solidarity with South Sudan and pressure by the U.S. government helped bring about a largely peaceful independence for South Sudan last year. International attention and solidarity are still needed to build sustainable peace.
Peace education is also challenging in the United States. In a country at war for over a decade, the word peace is treated as suspect. Many dioceses and parishes have renamed their Justice and Peace offices with generic titles like Community Outreach. I understand the political polarization that gives rise to such changes, but I worry: What does it mean if we cannot even name ourselves as followers of the Prince of Peace.
At home, peace education gets personal. Like Ralphie in the movie "The Christmas Story," our pre-school-age son is obsessed with toy guns. We wake each morning to the sounds of hunters killing duck and deer along the Chesapeake Bay. Our three children, all born after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, have only known their country at war, with military deployments of friends and family, and heavily armed men in the capital. Raising children to "Go in peace to love and serve the world" is very much a countercultural stance.
My uncle's question, "Where are we going to school?" is no joke. As the pope notes, we all need to step up to the challenges of educating for peace and justice.

A Month of Christian Persecution
"This morning, I wrote about my family's enjoyment of the Christmas holiday. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, Christians cannot celebrate Christmas safely. In Nigeria, Islamic terrorists bombed three churches on Christmas day, killing at least 40 worshippers. But that was only the latest of many outrages. Persecution of Christians has reached new heights this year.
At the Middle East Forum, Raymond Ibrahim sums up acts of anti-Christian persecution that occurred during the month of November. One really can't get the impact without reading the whole thing, so I am taking the liberty of reproducing the whole article, leaving out the links which you can follow in the original:
The so-called "Arab Spring" continues to transition into a "Christian Winter," including in those nations undergoing democratic change, such as Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis dominated the elections—unsurprisingly so, considering the Obama administration has actually been training Islamists for elections.
Arab regimes not overthrown by the "Arab Spring" are under mounting international pressure; these include the secular Assad regime of Syria, where Christians, who comprise some 10% of the population, are fearful of the future, having seen the effects of democracy in neighboring nations such as Iraq, where, since the fall of the Saddam regime, Christians have been all but decimated.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that "Christians are being refused refugee status [in the U.S.] and face persecution and many times certain death for their religious beliefs under Sharia, while whole Muslim communities are entering the U.S. by the tens of thousands per month despite the fact that they face no religious persecution."
Categorized by theme, November's batch of Muslim persecution of Christians around the world includes (but is not limited to) the following accounts, listed according to theme and in alphabetical order by country, not necessarily severity."
For the details refer to
Obviously peace education is not part of the Islamic education system.

It's one of the most basic human experiences. The world and I are different things – the world is out there, and I'm looking out at all the action. But this division might not be so strict for everyone. Researchers in China have discovered that people from different cultures show distinctive patterns of neuronal activation when asked to think about themselves. Specifically, Tibetan Buddhists do not exhibit the typical brain activity associated with concepts of a self. This suggests that religious beliefs directly affect not only our neurology, but our fundamental experience of the world.

AirTran Airways, a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwest Airlines, announced last evening that it would offer nonstop service on Saturdays and Sundays between Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Aruba. The new international service is scheduled to start on December 17, 2011.
The service is the first new international route announced by AirTran Airways since the airline was acquired by Southwest Airlines. Aruba is the most recent international or Caribbean route to be offered by AirTran from BWI Marshall Airport. AirTran currently operates nonstop service from BWI Marshall to Bermuda, Montego Bay, Cancun, Nassau, and San Juan. The flight will operate from BWI Marshall Airport's convenient, efficient terminal A/B following the planned move by AirTran to the facility later this year.
"Travelers from throughout this region will enjoy nonstop access to Aruba, with its world-renowned beaches, outstanding weather, and island hospitality," said Paul J. Wiedefeld, Executive Director of BWI Marshall Airport. "Aruba joins a number of other international destinations easily accessible from BWI Marshall."
Fares start as low as $159 each way for AirTran travelers to fly to Aruba for the holiday season and beyond. Customers should check with www.airtran.com for availability and restrictions.
The new route announced last evening by AirTran is the second recent international market recently added to BWI Marshall, following Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. Passenger traffic at the Airport has grown for 16 straight months, and for 24 of the past 25 months. BWI Marshall Airport has set monthly passenger records in 13 of the past 14 months. Over the past 12 months, through June 2011, total passenger traffic at BWI Marshall has climbed 5.5 percent to 22,488,838, also a new record.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's volleyball team battled hard, but ultimately fell to the visiting Carson-Newman Eagles in four sets, 25-20, 31-33, 25-23 and 25-21 in Saturday afternoon's South Atlantic Conference action.
The loss drops the Tornados to 11-14 for the season, 2-11 in the conference while the Eagles improve to 19-12, 7-4 in the SAC.
The first set was a game of runs as Carson-Newman jumped out to a 16-4 lead based on a 9-0 run when the score was tied 2-2. The Tornados responded with a run of their own, bringing the game back to 16-13 behind back-to-back blocks by Jami Perry and Brooke Seaman. That was the closest the Tornados were able to get though, as the Eagles rose behind Jessica Schachleiter to put away the set, 25-20.
In the second set, the teams switched leads almost as fast as the ball was going back and forth over the net as the teams tied a total of 19 times in the set. Brevard led early in the game, 12-9, due to strong play by freshman Ashlie Morrison, but the Eagles would not go away, tying the score up at 13 on a kill by Kelsey Fleck.
The teams continued to swap points with neither team being able to get up by more than one point, until Brevard took a lead 25-24 behind two straight kills by Seaman. In the ensuing 14 points, Brevard took a lead six times, but was unable to get the winning point until freshman Chelsea Larsen put a shot down the line to give the Tornados the game, 33-31.
The third set was played the same as the second as the teams constantly swapped the lead throughout the set. A service ace by libero Rebecca Schoonover gave the Tornados a 13-12 lead, but the Eagles ran off several points to take a lead they would not give up in winning, 25-23.
In the final set, the Tornados led 11-7, but a 9-2 Eagle run put the Tornados behind. Chelsey Trojan and Larsen kept the Tornados in the set until the end, but a miscue by the Tornados defense ended the game with the Eagles on top, 25-21.
For the game, the Tornados were led by Seaman, who had a match-high 19 kills. Trojan and Morrison also contributed with 11 and nine kills respectively. Perry dished out 37 set assists for the match to go with 14 digs, while Schoonover led the Tornados with 22 digs on the afternoon.
The Eagles were led by Fleck who had 17 kills for the day. Carly Mozgai and Jessica Brady followed her with 15 and 10 kills. Allyson Corhn and Stephanie Cutter combined for 54 set assists and Schachleiter had a match-high 22 digs.
The Tornados take to the road as they travel to Hickory, N.C. to take on Lenoir-Rhyne on Halloween night. Game time is set for 6:30 p.m. Carson-Newman continues on their road swing through the SAC as they travel to Mars Hill College on October 28, with a start time of 7 p.m.
