"The Star Wars" a new graphic novel based on the original Star Wars draft by George Lucas
Once apon a time at a desk George Lucas wrote an initial draft of a film called "The Star Wars". It featured a old Jedi General called Luke and a green alien called Han Solo. Eventually this draft became simply "Star Wars" and Luke but a boy and Han just a man.
And that's how it stayed for some 30 odd years until comics writer J.W. Rinzler managed to convince George Lucas to let him turn that draft into a graphic novel. Wired reports on the detail:
"It took years actually," he admitted. "I was writing The Making of Star Wars and I read all the drafts, and when I saw the first rough draft I thought, 'This is amazing, and so different from what the film was.' Each of the very early drafts is very different from the final film, and I thought, it would be nice if this was somehow made into a comic book. It felt like a very natural idea. I mentioned it to George once or twice, and he was a bit hesitant, wasn't very sure if it was a good idea or not."
Years later, after he discovered that Dark Horse had also asked to adapt the draft into a comic book, Rinzler came up with an to convince the reticent Lucas. "We'd recently done a book about his favorite Star Wars comic book art. He said to me while doing that, a few times, how much he loves seeing comic books without the word balloons — that he loves seeing the art tell the story. I said to Dark Horse, if you want George to sign off on this, you need to hire an artist, I'll adapt a few scenes and then I'll show it to George. It took a few months, but when I showed the pages to George, sure enough, he approved the project."
"It's totally different, and although the characters are still there, they're also totally different. Luke Skywalker isn't an eighteen-year-old kid. He's an old Jedi general with decades of experience. Leia is a princess, but she's not related to Luke; she has a different mother and father. Han Solo is there, but he's a giant green alien. A lot of the relationships are all there, they're all percolating."
The new series, which will be illustrated by Mike Mayhew, finally brings the near-mythical earliest draft of one of the most successful science fiction franchises of all time to an audience that has been patiently waiting for it for decades. According to Rinzler — who also works as an executive editor at LucasBooks — convincing George Lucas that it was a good idea to let everyone see his first draft wasn't easy.
Although he won't be drawn on plot details, Rinzler said that "In some ways, the original draft is closer to Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon in tone, and it's also closer to Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress — In fact, there even is a hidden fortress in the rough draft."
The writer's excitement about the project is clear when he talks about the series, and the story. "It's great fun to make this available to the world," he said. "This was George's blue sky version of the film at the time, something he knew wouldn't be filmable. This is all of his imagination just with no tethers attached. It's a great story by one of the greatest storytellers of this generation."

Dropbox Pro storage space doubled, new 500GB tier added
Dropbox, the cloud storage darling of the Internet, has just announced that it's doubling the storage on Dropbox Pro accounts. That means that from here on out, for $10 per month (or $100 per year) you get 100 GB of storage, while $20 per month (or $200 per year) gets you 200 GB. The company is also adding a new 500 GB option as well, but pricing on that one will be revealed later this evening. Of course, you can still get yourself a completely free Dropbox account with less storage.

Dame Edna and Barry Humphries say farewell with Eat Pray Laugh! at Palladium
Australian comedian and entertainer Barry Humphries, along with his most famous creation Dame Edna Everage, is bowing out in style. Humphries will transfer his upcoming Farewell Tour, Eat Pray Laugh!, to the UK's home of variety, the West End's London Palladium for a limited season from 15 November 2013 (previews from 13 November) to Saturday 8 January 2014.
Eat Pray Laugh! will feature other Humphries creations, cultural attaché the Honorable Sir Les Patterson and the grandfatherly Sandy Stone in Act One, but this will be "just a bit of foreplay" for the "orgasmic" Act Two appearance of Humphries' most famous character, the outrageous, Tony Award-winning "housewife superstar", Dame Edna.
Dame Edna commented on her West End return: "I've been away from home too long, possums, and my true home is the London Palladium. Book now for the housewarming party of the century!" In the show, Dame Edna, surrounded by spectacular sets and dancers, promises to "empower" audiences as she meditates on the big issues of loss, gender, climate change, gay marriage and ethnicity.
Barry Humphries' Farewell Tour has already had extended runs in Australia and New Zealand. In the UK, Eat Pray Laugh! opens first at the Milton Keynes Theatre on 23 October 2013 and play Cardiff and Edinburgh before transferring to the London Palladium. Additional dates – including Newcastle, Norwich, Leeds, Bristol and Manchester - have also been announced through spring 2014.
Humphries' brand-new production is directed by award-winning Australian theatre director Simon Phillips, who directed the original Priscilla Queen of the Desert. It's designed by Brian Thomson, whose other credits include the original Australian and London productions of Jesus Christ Superstar and The Rocky Horror Show, as well as the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games. Eat Pray Laugh! is produced by Paul Dainty of The Dainty Group and James Cundall of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions.

Managing Information, Powering Intelligence
Associate Professor of Information Sciences and Technology
Director, Graduate Programs
Ph.D., Sociology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 2000
My expertise is social research methods and social theory, my training is in sociology, and I apply this expertise and training to the study of information and communication technologies (ICT) and their context of development, implementation and use. I am an elected leader in both of my home academic communities, the American Sociological Association and the International Association for Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management. My international reputation is visible in the following: organizing and leading two large and two small international workshops and conferences; $3.7 million in external funding that has resulted in 12 completed MS and PhD theses; 40 journals articles, 60 peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and 12 book chapters. I have been an invited speaker at 31 conferences or events and presented at 73 conferences. My teaching is showcased in the 12 different courses I have led for my College at the undergraduate, Honors and graduate levels. I have served as chair of 16 graduate student committees, 6 master's theses and 10 Ph.D. dissertations. Seven of these ten Ph.D. students have already graduated and gone on to take jobs in the academe or industry. I have also served on 50 graduate student committees. I expect this trajectory to continue in the coming years.
The contribution of my scholarship is carried forward through detailed studies of critical social problems in today's world, with a specific focus on the take-up, uses, and effects of information and communication technologies relative to public social issues. The results of my work have contributed directly to the policy-making bodies of the United Nations, the Obama Administration, and the largest international relief and development organizations globally. All of my recent work investigates the great potential role that social media data might play in local community resilience, crowdsourced early warning systems, and the organized response to emergencies and disasters.
I am a scholar of "Public Informatics" a phrase I coined to situate my work at the intersection of people, information, and technology in a public setting. My Public Informatics scholarship focuses on problems faced by public and non-profit institutions and their work toward a public good. The institutions that concern me are those that serve our most basic needs for post-disaster and emergency aid, safety and security, science and education and telecommunications. I am most attracted to problems that are endemic to the public sphere: the lack of and management of scarce resources, sharing materials and information; and, increasingly the need to play competitively alongside private industry. Technologies play a role in both the creation of these problems and in potential solutions.
I am most well known as a scholar of Crisis Informatics, a subset of Public Informatics. Crisis Informatics is the study of information discovery, needs, use and sharing in disaster or crisis settings. Disaster response organizations operate in conditions of extreme uncertainty. Uncertainty increases the need for information, but at the same time, research has shown that the amount of operational information flowing through an organization during a disaster can be overwhelming. Appropriate information and communication technologies could make substantial improvements in the disaster relief process and ultimately save lives.
My work has made three contributions in this space. First, I have identified unique network structures and barriers that exist in this form of technical crisis coordination in the disaster-relief sector at various levels of participating organizations. Influencing science, 53 publications and presentations that have resulted from this work. Influencing practice, findings have been influential in creating principles and best practices for over 300 Humanitarian Information Managers worldwide through a partnership with the United Nations Office of Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Honoring this work, the outcomes received the Outstanding Paper Award in 2013 from the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence. Second, I contribute to the solution of one of the stickiest problems currently facing disaster response organizations—the organizational inability to take advantage of an abundance of citizen-produced social media data. Despite strong evidence as to the value of social media data during a crisis, there are numerous challenges to adoption of this data, including issues of reliability, verification, deception, quantity and translation of reported observations to responders. My work makes a direct contribution to practice by enhancing the ability of crisis responders to make use of crowdsourced data with a high level of confidence. The outcomes of this work of this work have lead to 12 publications; leadership roles in the ISCRAM conference and professional organization and several invited keynote addresses in Sweden and Costa Rica. Thirdly, in partnership with the National Labs at Los Alamos and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, I have created Aurorasuarus, a citizen science project that encourages public participation in improving space weather science through interest in the aurora borealis. Most importantly, this research has led to implications for using crowdsourcing techniques for improving early warning systems in disaster response.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — For one terrible moment on Dec. 14, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting seemed to stun the country into silence. But for Doug Bogan '13 and his friends in Wilton, Conn., the natural response was music.
He was with his mother when the news broke. "She just hugged me really tight," Bogan remembered. "The shooting was so close to home that I was immediately overwhelmed." In the hours afterward, he learned just how close it really was: "I found out a couple of my friends had direct ties to the little ones who passed away."
The shooting had a significant impact on Bogan, one he may not fully comprehend until much later. "I won't ever understand the gravity of the tragedy until I have young ones of my own," he admitted. But Bogan also believed he could help his grieving community now.
Come Together For Newtown
"Music can be uplifting in times when there seems to be no way out," said Bogan. "I realized that I needed to organize the Come Together for Newtown benefit concert to provide citizens of Newtown and the rest of Fairfield County with just that — music to support the healing/rebuilding process."
As a senior electrical engineering and music major at Bucknell University, as well as an up-and-coming a DJ and mash-up artist, Bogan had all the tools and connections to make Come Together For Newtown happen.
Working with friends Mike Drogalis, Mario Baggio and Melody Curran — "This was definitely a job for four," Bogan noted — he secured Tuxedo Junction as the concert venue and reached out to college-age bands to perform. The Wilton YMCA sponsored the concert.
A little more than two weeks after the Sandy Hook shooting, Come Together For Newtown lifted the night with music. "The concert was absolutely amazing," said Bogan.
The concert drew hundreds of people, and raised thousands of dollars for the Newtown Scholarship Association, which will support a graduating Newtown senior who attended Sandy Hook Elementary. Bogan said he plans on attending the awards ceremony in June to help honor the recipients.
"Everyone understood the nature of the event, making for a really wonderful evening," he said. "Donations keep streaming in each day — absolutely awesome. We never envisioned the response we received from the community surrounding this event. We did our part in helping heal through music."

Being bad seems to be a good fit for Charlize Theron. She got an Oscar for it thanks to her turn in "Monster," she looked impressive as the Evil Queen in the first trailer for "Snow White And The Huntsman" and her performance as the prickly Mavis Gary in Jason Reitman's "Young Adult" may have her headed back to the Kodak Theater in February.
Once again reteaming with "Juno" writer Diablo Cody, Reitman's fourth feature co-stars Patrick Wilson and Patton Oswalt and follows the story of a divorced 30-something young-adult fiction writer (Theron) who returns to her Minnesota home to chase after her now-married-with-kids ex-boyfriend (Wilson). The film has been earning strong buzz on the back of pop-up screenings that have been taking place around the country, with a variety of unique promotional posters helping to keep the chatter going. This latest clip is a nice peek at Mavis, who even when just trying to book a hotel room, turns it into a confrontation.
"Young Adult" will head to theaters on December 16th. Watch below. Update: MTV also have a new clip from the film which you can watch below. [ComingSoon]

10 animators poised to become household names
David O'Reilly
O'Reilly was 15 when Cartoon Saloon ("The Secret of Kells") set up shop in his hometown of Kilkenny, Ireland, and for three years, he made a habit of dropping by after school. He'd never considered animation as a career, but was intoxicated by the pros' enthusiasm, taking on odd jobs around the studio (including "some really embarrassing e-cards," he remembers).
Hand-picked by Henry Selick as head of story on "Coraline," Butler is set to steer one of his original ideas to the bigscreen at Portland-based Laika studio. The writer-artist will make his directing debut with the stop-motion "ParaNorman," about a 13-year-old boy who has to keep his small town from being overrun by zombies. The Surrey Institute of Art and Design grad started in the ad world, where he says, "I became the go-to guy to design stuff according to any influence" — a quality that led to his first feature gig, a sequence tracing Tigger through art history in "The Tigger Movie." Arthur De Pins
Arts Decos grad de Pins didn't have to leave his bedroom to make "La revolution des crabes," a Flash-based black-and-white short that nabbed Annecy's audience award (and more than 50 other prizes) in 2004, though he's expanding the look and scope considerably for the forthcoming feature version. After three years of working on the screenplay, de Pins is seeking co-production partners and plans to publish a graphic novel featuring his revolutionary crab this November. Headless Prods.
Rather than seeing the 3D revolution as the enemy of traditional techniques, the trio behind Barcelona-based Headless Prods. believes compositing and other computer tools will enable them to work faster and create new looks for their classical hand-drawn style. Adria Garcia and Victor Maldonado have been friends since high school, teaming with Alfredo Torres (whom they met on "El Cid") to make 2007's "Nocturna." As partners in their own studio, the three amigos have "The Strange Case of Dad's Missing Head" (with Paris' Neomis) and several other projects in development. Patrick Jean
In its first 24 hours online, Jean's two-minute short "Pixels," in which Gotham transforms into a giant videogame while retro characters such as Pacman and Donkey Kong invade Godzilla-style, was seen more than one million times. Adam Sandler's production company Happy Madison is now in talks with the 32-year-old to direct a "Ghostbusters"-style feature based on his original idea (though Jean insists he'll walk if he can't maintain creative control). "The musicvideo world is my world," says Jean, who cites Michel Gondry as a model and recently signed with U.K. talent agency Passion Pictures. Michael Langan
"I did some hand-drawn stuff in the very beginning and quickly realized I'm not very good at it," confesses Langan, whose creative approach favors pixelation (his upcoming "Butler, Woman, Man" treats actors like full-size stop-motion puppets), replacement animation ("Dahlia" portrays San Francisco through a series of visually matched snapshots) and other technical trickery. Langan's Rhode Island School of Design thesis, "Doxology," was selected as a Student Academy Award finalist, leading to steady commercial work. "I get all sorts of ideas from these little projects in advertising, and that fuels my desire to make more films," he says. Stephen Neary
Neary's angular, minimalist and utterly absurd Western spoof "Cowboy Chicken" (in which the free-range fowl stumbles into the wrong saloon) earned the New York U. grad kudos on the fest circuit and an online following via Channel Frederator. Neary is now at Blue Sky working on the forthcoming "Ice Age 4" and "Rio," while cooking up more shorts (such as kissing-loop series "Let's Make Out") in his free time. According to NYU prof John Canemaker, "Stephen was one of the Kanbar film department's most gifted animation students. His off-the-wall witty stories and striking visuals are full of originality and fun." Teddy Newton
Since joining Pixar in 2000, Newton has contributed striking character designs for "The Incredibles" and the "Ratatouille" end titles. The studio gave him a chance to flex his own style with "Day and Night," a hand-drawn stereo-scopic short set to precede "Toy Story 3" in theaters. According to "Incredibles" director Brad Bird, "Teddy always saw himself as gag man, totally neglecting the fact that he's a design genius. It's no surprise to me that he's done such a terrific short: It's got visual surprises like nothing out there, which is difficult to pull off, yet the film feels effortless when you watch it." Mamoru Hosoda
Already big in Japan for his work on the "Digimon" franchise, Madhouse director Hosoda stands to see his international profile grow with "Summer Wars." Released in Japan last August by Warner, the story of a teen math whiz who does online battle with a rogue A.I. program made an impressive $18.3 million at the B.O. Though Hosoda's work with Toei earned him a chance to helm "Howl's Moving Castle" for Studio Ghibli, he was later replaced by Hayao Miyazaki. Ironically, between "Wars" and Hosoda's previous feature, acclaimed anime "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," many are calling him Japan's "next Miyazaki." Pendleton Ward
The creator of Cartoon Network's hit "Adventure Time," CalArts alum Ward brings the influence of Saturday morning cartoons and videogame logic to the fantasy world of Finn and Jake (a silly kid and his talking dog, who travel the mystical Land of Ooo). Ward says he achieves the show's off-the-wall surrealism by storyboarding it all stream-of-consciousness. "I don't know what the next panel is going to be. I play out the story as I write it, so things can come unexpectedly," Ward explains. "I'm also the voice of the characters, so I react to unexpected things as I would in real life." Peter Debruge, Tobias Grey, Mark Schilling, Charles Solomon contributed to this report

Can a spending plan shrink your waist?
It's a common misconception: eating healthy is expensive. I've argued up, down and sideways on this topic because I believe that unless you're buying designer superfoods from far away countries, it shouldn't. I remember being in college, having two jobs and trying to pay my way and still eating well. I figure if I could do it with the schedule and lack of money I had, then so could anyone. And my financial expert for the Quickies program, Karie Hill agrees.
I'm thrilled to be having Karie on teleconference one of three that I'll be hosting as part of the Quickies program. This gal is filled with financial mojo sexy power and gives you permission to be a lady baller in more ways than one and that includes your grocery bill.
Check out her latest post on shrinking your waste all through a savvy financial plan.
To get more incredible advice, sign up to my Quickies program that will have the Karie Hill giving us the financial goods and Ken Lauher who will be teaching us how to increase our vitality through kitchen feng shui. It's coming up and all you have to do is sign up.

Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Again, awesome concept. Thus.. With great concepts, comes great requirements :
I reduce my previous rating to 3/5 until we get : a saving feature, scores (mostly based on levels timing resolution), replay / sharing levels own solutions (such as Fantastic Contraption).
And it would be great to have a scrolling sandbox mode, the screen is way too small to have fun with creatures conceptions. Zooming in and out would be also awesome.
And I was about to forget : applying numbers to muscles shouldn't move the whole structure, it's a bit frustrating. Also, resetting a level should restore the creature to its initial structure.
Finally, those are not complaints, but eagerly expected upgrades to turn this into one of the most awesome HTML5 actual games :)
Developer response from FrozenCow
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I wanted to add highscores, since that would make playing the levels much more interesting. Since I did this for the Ludum Dare competition, I only had 48h and didn't have to for something server-side nor the Kongregate-API. Also, you -can- share your creatures with others. When you are in Design-mode, you can press esc and see the options 'Share creature' and 'Load creature'. That way you can copy-paste the code of your creature to someone else. edit | delete

Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Agree with Zappan, this is a great concept that will surely make a nice game. Some more suggestions: it's kinda frustrating when you dont have a "quit game" button somewhere, and I took sometime to guess that ESC did that. It's quite obvious, I agree, but some HUD elements would get the player more confortable. The physics simulation should be paused during design mode. Check Bad Piggies from Rovio, it has a nice design/play concept and might give you some nice ideas. Last thing: make the controllable muscles colored, this may give some nice visuals and get things more clear to the player.

No, but we could tie welfare, food stamps, etc. to things like attendance and/or performance.

All makes for nice reading.
Here are some facts boys and girls.
The public school systems in the cities of America are some of the most wasteful over spending in all of government.
The cost per pupil is staggering versus the rest of the states educational spending in those states with the larger cities with large urban populations.
That genie will not be put back into the bottle.
The "Monarchy" that is created in these cities is not going to be removed.
And who supports this "Monarchy??
Sorry, just the cold hard facts!!!
The public school systems in the cities of America are some of the most wasteful over spending in all of government.
I got invited to a MPS luncheon to discuss small business hiring needs. From the time I walked in to the time I left all I could think of was if these people were working for me I'd stop at a gas station at the end of the day and ask them to get me a soda. Then drive off as soon as they closed the door. I wouldn't doubt that there was 3 people in the system for every teacher spending the day drinking Starbucks and milking the clock. And the lunch was ridiculously over done show boat style. Reminded me of drug reps buying a whole facility lunch for a few minutes of a Dr.'s ear.:confused:

Anyone here have one? What's it like with two people in it? Just looks interesting to me and wondered what people thought of it....

Anyone here have one? What's it like with two people in it? Just looks interesting to me and wondered what people thought of it....
I've slept in one for a few weeks, but don't yet own one.
Easily the best option for two sleepers. Genuine Draft is a fairly light sleeper and I was able to get in and out of the hammock without waking her. The hammock beds really do function almost independently of each other. My issue with Clarks has always been a length/width issue, but the Vertex allows a taller sleeper to 'cheat' by slipping their feet into the other hammock bed. By far, my favorite Clark model.
The only real hitch with the Vertex is the attaching of an UQ. The fabric wall closer to the center of the rig does not come up as high as the outer fabric wall. This allows the UQ to very easily 'slip' from underneath you. Of course, the result is waking up with a chill and having to readjust the UQ. I was using a loaner and didn't want to experiment, but I think it would be a very simple mod to correct the problem. Probably just a small clip to hold it in place. Wouldn't need to be much, just a light anchor.
Very cool hammock. :cool:
I cant justify buying one of these, but it would be great on a 2 week backpacking trip my brother and I are going on...
I'm really pondering one now, as I simply don't want to sleep on the ground anymore. When my fiancee' and I go out we have a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 that we currently use, but I want her to switch to a hammock. She loves laying in the backyard in the hammocks I have, but when we hike she is adament about sleeping next to me. My other question about this hammock is the lay, is it comfortable to get a diagonal lay?
Depends who you ask. Many of the Clark users claim to be able to get comfortable when on the diagonal. For me, it just isn't possible; they are too narrow for my diagonal. The Vertex is the exception, but it's a bit of an illusion. Because the foot area of each hammock bed are very close together and the inner wall of the hammocks is low, I am able to 'cheat' and flop my feet over into the other hammock bed. That allows me to sleep almost as comfortably in the Vertex as I do in most of my gathered-end hammocks.
I'm 6'. Not sure what an extra 6" would have done to the comfort factor, but as long as your fiancee isn't also very tall, there should still be enough room to cheat over to the other hammock.
Cannibal: Just wondering, do you think that sewing two hammocks together but leaving the ends independent to allow a separate suspension like the picture of the vertex would achieve the same results? Are the two sides sewn together only along the top hem or does the "attachment" continue further down the dividing wall also?
My interest is not to sleep two people but to have a place for my dog to sleep in the hammock without her crowding me. It used to be pretty easy sleeping with her in the hammock but now it's borderline annoying.
Thanks. KP
KP, I'm curious about that also. My husband would hang more if we had a hammock similar to the vertex.

Having been diving since the age of ten, it has been a passion of mine for a very long time and I've always known that I wanted to see my diving education through to the very end. Now, fresh out of A levels and just turned eighteen, I decided to fly to the other side of the world from the (oddly) sunny England to the lovely islands of Indonesia, specifically Bunaken and Lembeh off Sulawesi, to do my Divemaster course.

Anyone watch the season finale of Gray's Anatomy" last night?
Of course, you did. And talk about a cliff hanger or two!
Michael Ausiello from EW talked to GA creator Shonda Rhimes this morning about the ending, who's staying and who's going, and the next season.
She hedges on who will live and who will die, naturally. But it's not that simple. "Yes. And I don't know that you should be saying "which one of them lives and which one of them dies." I know what happens to the characters."
But she won' talk about TR Knight asking to leave the show. All she says is that he's an incredibly talented actor. "That moment where he grabs Meredith's hand is one of the most affecting moments of the episode, and it was without words."
On Katherine Heigel putting her name up for an Emmy in 2008?
"You know, I don't know. I think she did beautiful work. I think she always does beautiful work."
And about that Meredith and Derek wedding: "Their wedding was a Post-it note… And the Post-it wedding will have big reverberations next season."
What do you think should happen next season? Who sucks and who rules?

Thanks for the 101, but I get all that. DJ is not suited for the MLB position. We saw that two years ago and 4 years ago. So I ask again. Where does he fit in place of Woodyard?
DJ is best suited as a SAM and not a MLB or a WIL! With Woodyards play of late, where does DJ fit is all I was asking.
GJO- You will never be forgotten. "MORE THAN MINFINITY"!
he fits right in as a back up mlb. Thats obvious. And let us pray he knows the playbook in and out. Any blunders mean dj doesnt take the game serious. Cuz if your sitting home for 11 weeks with nothing to do u should be in the playbook
No he doesn't and no its not.
We have tried that but as a starter. He failed.
Why do you want him to back up a position he has shown he cant be productive in? Shanny gave him that opportunity and he failed in a 4-3. MCD gave him the opportunity in a 3-4 and he failed.
He is SAM in a 4-3. Nothing more, nothing less.
GJO- You will never be forgotten. "MORE THAN MINFINITY"!
Ok Wesley Woodyard is playing mike right now correct?
DJ should play the wil(natural position) it should go like this....
DJ Williams...... Wesley Woodyard........ Von ****ing miller
It depends on your definition of production. D.J put up numbers as a ILB..he didn't really fail.
Quite frankly, I just see D.J in that nickel package "mike" covering TE's. Poor trevathan is probably going to get his snaps cut from him.
Woody is not playing Mike. He's playing weakside LB. Brooking Mike, Von strong side.

Lol d.j. didnt fail at the mike. Hes just a tad better playing the wil, but he was still solid in the middle.
All along, everyone has said that DJ's natural position, the one he played in college at Miama and at least his first (and second?) year with the Broncos, is Will - weakside linebacker.
Also, I would agree that he did not fail at Mike; it is just that he was better at Will - it has been consistently said that Will is his "more natural" position.
However, it would be a misrepresentation to say that he 'failed' at Mike.
DJ will be second string to whomever the Hell Del Rio says, and be thankfull he has a damn job
right now woody is our will
brooking is our mike
and von is our sam
on nickel situations i see doom moving up to left defensive end and dj being subbed for brooking.

DJ is,has been, and would continue to be fine in the Middle
Broncos fan since 1989
Yeah I would say he didn't fail if he was the leading tackler for the Broncos for the last I think 4-5 years. No way he is a starter but that is why Elway for GM of the year because we have great depth and with Del Rio have turned our defense into a pretty fierce opponent with Miller being a bad ***!!!
you know he had over 100 tackles both times he played mlb right? Behind a dline that was average or poor... itll be alot easier for him with our front 4 now IF he knows his assignments. Dj will be fine at mlb as hes been before. Just no blown assignments. I pray he takes the game serious because natural talent hes always had.
Okay... Fail was a bit strong of a word. He didn't fail but I don't think he succeeded. MLB is the captain of the defense and DJ didn't fit that role. One could argue that until Von, DJ was the only decent LB on our team for quite some time. Other than Dumes during the 3-4 years, who did DJ have competing against for tackles? A Mike or a SAM should always be the leading tackler on any team. Just the nature of the position(s).
Again, as a MLB, he should have over 100 tackles simply by the nature of the position.
Listen, DJ is an above average LB who was very good for a couple years. I do not believe that his presence as a starting role will make this team any better. Nickle packages and press packages. Other than that, keep things as they are.
GJO- You will never be forgotten. "MORE THAN MINFINITY"!

I bought Willrow the first time I saw him, pretty much to show support for obscure characters in general. He did eventually start to warm but once the price went down to 4.50 at Wal-Mart and Target he cleared out.
I had to buy up several Leesub Sirln's just to get her off the pegs considering she was a figure I lobbied hard for and I didn't want to see her warm forever. I still have a couple if anyone's interested in them.
Captain Colton is still warming at my local Wal-Mart and he's a figure I have no interest in whatsoever so I probably won't be getting him. He's the only Legacy figure left on the pegs besides some Legends Obi-Wans.
Overall I'd say the new lines are selling very well, and hesitate to call out any true pegwarmers just yet. 4-Lom I don't believe will ship in any other assortment than this first and a revision so I'm not too worried about him. I am a little puzzled by his inclusion in Target's exclusive 9-pack though, a Stormtrooper or Bossk would have made more sense.

Samsung Joins Skyhook Team, Adding Geo-Locating Tech To Wave Smartphone
Skyhook Wireless has been working on this for awhile now, with their Core Location Platform providing indoor reception on tons of phones today. The solution uses a combination of GPS, cellular data and Wi-Fi in order to position you, and it basically relies on whatever of those aren't totally blocked in order to somewhat keep track of you. Now, Skyhook has managed to pick up another big customer: Samsung.
The upcoming Samsung Wave S8500 is looking to be one of the most impressive smartphones to emerge in 2010, and it will begin shipping with Skyhook's technology within. It'll also be one of the first Bada handsets, so it will be interesting to see how Bada's navigation skills improve with Skyhook helping to keep a lock on location. We're also hoping that this deal allows other Samsung devices to use Skyhook...maybe even a netbook, smartbook or tablet? That'll be nice, won't it?
Skyhook Wireless Partners with Samsung Electronics for Leading Location System
Consumers and developers to enjoy superior location performance on Samsung mobile devices
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Skyhook Wireless, provider of the Core Location Platform, today announced that Samsung will deploy Skyhook's technology across multiple Samsung mobile devices. The first handset to launch with Skyhook embedded will be the Samsung Wave (Model: S8500). The Wave is the initial handset to be released with Samsung's new, open mobile platform, Samsung bada, and is the cornerstone of the company's commitment to provide a smartphone for every lifestyle. With the addition of Skyhook, Samsung devices, such as the Wave, will better enable all location-aware applications by providing the most precise, reliable, and fastest location information available.
"Samsung is committed to delivering the maximum benefits of smartphones for our customers and developer partners"
Geo-location is at the center of mobile innovation and is fundamental to many emerging mobile services. Today, there are thousands of mobile applications that incorporate location as a part of their user experience. Precise location enables consumers to check-in with friends, find nearby concerts and exhibits, or get directions to the destinations of their choice. For some experiences, such as turn-by-turn navigation or local search, location is the central feature, but increasingly applications such as Twitter, Shazam and OpenTable incorporate location to simplify user experience and to personalize content delivery.
"Samsung is committed to delivering the maximum benefits of smartphones for our customers and developer partners," said Hyungmoon Noh, Vice President of R&D Planning Team at Samsung Electronics at Samsung. "Precise location is central to the mobile experience, and Skyhook's Core Location will provide Samsung mobile devices with market-leading location capabilities."
Skyhook is the recognized leader in geo-location technology and fulfills hundreds of millions of location requests every day across over 100 million handsets, netbooks and cameras. Skyhook's ground-breaking Core Location system uses a combination of Wi-Fi, cellular and GPS readings to produce a single, accurate location quickly and in all environments.
"Samsung creates innovative mobile platforms and user experiences," said Michael Shean, Founder & SVP, Business Development, Skyhook Wireless. "Skyhook is thrilled to further enhance the Samsung smartphone experience with superior location accuracy and availability on Samsung bada and other platforms."

gdb comes with a configure script that automates the process
of preparing gdb for installation; you can then use make
build the gdb
The gdb distribution includes all the source code you need for gdb in a single directory, whose name is usually composed by appending the version number to 'gdb'.
For example, the gdb version 7.12.1 distribution is in the gdb-7.12.1 directory. That directory contains:
(and supporting files)gdb-7.12.1/gdb
The simplest way to configure and build gdb is to run configure from the gdb-version-number source directory, which in this example is the gdb-7.12.1 directory.
First switch to the gdb-version-number source directory if you are not already in it; then run configure. Pass the identifier for the platform on which gdb will run as an argument.
For example:
cd gdb-7.12.1 ./configure host make
where host is an identifier such as 'sun4' or 'decstation', that identifies the platform where gdb will run. (You can often leave off host; configure tries to guess the correct value by examining your system.)
Running 'configure host' and then running make
builds the
bfd, readline, mmalloc, and libiberty
libraries, then gdb
itself. The configured source files, and the
binaries, are left in the corresponding source directories.
configure is a Bourne-shell (/bin/sh
) script; if your
system does not recognize this automatically when you run a different
shell, you may need to run sh
on it explicitly:
sh configure host
If you run configure from a directory that contains source directories for multiple libraries or programs, such as the gdb-7.12.1 source directory for version 7.12.1, configure creates configuration files for every directory level underneath (unless you tell it not to, with the '--norecursion' option).
You should run the configure script from the top directory in the source tree, the gdb-version-number directory. If you run configure from one of the subdirectories, you will configure only that subdirectory. That is usually not what you want. In particular, if you run the first configure from the gdb subdirectory of the gdb-version-number directory, you will omit the configuration of bfd, readline, and other sibling directories of the gdb subdirectory. This leads to build errors about missing include files such as bfd/bfd.h.
You can install gdb
anywhere; it has no hardwired paths.
However, you should make sure that the shell on your path (named by
the 'SHELL' environment variable) is publicly readable. Remember
that gdb uses the shell to start your program—some systems refuse to
let gdb debug child processes whose programs are not readable.

How to prepare for new flooring
Whether you go for vinyl, carpet or even ceramic tiles, changing your floor covering is a great way to give a room a new lease of life. But before you start work, make sure the surface underneath is sound and level. If it isn't, any defects are likely to show through. This will spoil the look of your new floor and eventually cause it to wear unevenly. Luckily, there are some effective ways to deal with problem floors which we will share with you.

GCC 4.5: Features and Fixes
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4.5 picks up numerous new enhancements, beginning with building the GCC from its sources.
The GCC build process now uses MPC library, according to the 4.5 release notes. The library has the advantage of evaluating complex arithmetic function calls correctly and independently of the host platform.
As always, GCC developers are busy making the compiler collection contamination-free. Among things made obsolete in version 4.5 are the IRIX releases before 6.5 and Solaris 7, with the 12-month end-of-support countdown starting immediately.
The release also includes some enhancements, such as debugging dumps landing in the same directory as the object directory rather than in the current working directory, which eliminates complications with like-named files when debugging multiple builds in parallel. Debugging the created binaries now requires GDB 7.0, because of the integration with DWARF3 debugging formats. All enhancements and changes are in the release notes. Downloads are available from the GCC mirror sites.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Extreme cold and deep snow this winter has led Minnesota conservation officials to reverse course and approve deer feeding in northern Minnesota.
It will be the first time the Department of Natural Resources had fed deer since a harsh winter 17 years ago. The DNR has been opposed to feeding deer because it can cause the animals to congregate and possibly spread disease. It also increases the likelihood that deer will become prey to wolves.
The Star Tribune says feeding was approved for a region from around Cloquet, west to Cass Lake, north to International Falls and south to Ely. The feeding program is expected to cost about $170,000 and comes from a 50-cent license surcharge that hunters have paid for about 15 years.

January 1st is the day college football fans dream about - or, at least they used to. Not too long ago, it featured the big event: the last and biggest of the bowl games. We'll have to wait until next Monday for the BCS championship, but no worry, there are still some good games on tap for today. And here with a preview is NPR's Mike Pesca. Good morning.
MIKE PESCA, BYLINE: Hello.
MONTAGNE: Six games today, Mike. Which are the big ones?
PESCA: Well, I know you want me to say the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl, Renee. I know you're a huge fan of that.
PESCA: Nebraska and Georgia. Those are two good teams. But, yeah, the huge matchup is the Rose Bowl that pits Stanford against Michigan State. There's another interesting one: the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. I always feel weird about the corporate plug, but they paid for it, so we'll call it the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. And that is University of Central Florida against Baylor.
Baylor has this amazing offense. They score 50 points a game. I would've liked to have seen them against maybe a better opponent. Not that Central Florida - also like Baylor, only a one-loss team, but Las Vegas has decreed Baylor 16-point favorites. So let's see how many points they can put up.
MONTAGNE: OK. Well, you mentioned the Rose Bowl, which...
PESCA: Yeah.
MONTAGNE: ...in fact, it's the 100th Rose Bowl game. And it's the oldest, of course. Outside the championship, I would say, it is the most prestigious. Would you not agree?
PESCA: I don't know how to answer that since you phrased it in the negative. I think the answer is no. But...
PESCA: ...I would say this: It depends on the matchup. Historically, it's the Pack 10. Now it's the Pack 12, playing the Big 10. But sometimes the teams aren't great. This year, the teams are great. This year, it's Stanford and Michigan State. Other than the national championship game, this is the only pairing of top five teams. Not only are they qualified teams, but it's this power on power, great defenses, you know, strong running games.
So, yes, I'm very excited to see how these teams do in the Rose Bowl.
MONTAGNE: OK. Well, aside from all the action today, there are a handful of other games before the championship next Monday. What are the other marquee matchups?
PESCA: Well, the Sugar Bowl, which is going to be tomorrow, Alabama against Oklahoma, that's going to be a huge one. And then Clemson against Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. That'll be a big one. The Cotton Bowl should be good, too. That's Friday, January 3rd, Oklahoma State against Missouri.
So, yes, there are good games. I think that because there's no playoff, there's not as much at stake as every other sport's postseason, but that's just the way college football is, or at least has been and will be until next year.
MONTAGNE: Until next year, because, at least this last one time, the BCS still applies that system that puts these games together, and set the championship matchup that so many people dislike so much.
PESCA: Mm-hmm.
MONTAGNE: So, next year, college football will start holding playoffs. How do you think the BCS will go down in sports history?
PESCA: OK. I was on the BCS site, and I was reading an article there called "BCS: A Golden Era," and they were pointing to the fact that they normally would arrange for the top two teams - as they defined it - to play each other. And that's true. I mean, I guess BCS defenders would say that the BCS did the best they could do, given the limitations of the system. I'm probably not that charitable.
You know, it's sort of like they were the administrators of an inherently broken system. I don't want to give them too much credit. And even along the way, they didn't do everything right. I'm glad the BCS is done. It's not all the fault of the administrators of the BCS, but a playoff is exactly what we need.
MONTAGNE: And tell us about bowl games in the era of a playoff. What happens?
PESCA: Well, the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl and the Bell Helicopter Bowl, don't worry, they're staying. But the big ones, they're going to be used in a rotation, and sometimes the official semifinals will be, say, the Rose Bowl and the Orange Bowl. And then the other ones will also play out like they have been, as exhibitions.
And then the next year, two big bowl games, those will be the semi-finals. And then the national championship game, that's going to be auctioned off to different cities, like the Super Bowl plays in different neutral sites.
MONTAGNE: Happy New Year, Mike.
PESCA: Hey, you too. And please don't bet all your money on Baylor, just because of my endorsement, Renee.
MONTAGNE: I'll hold off, Mike.
PESCA: Deny yourself.
MONTAGNE: That's NPR's Mike Pesca. This is NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

As you can see, my website is back online after several days of suffering, mayhem and near-random typing.
Things that should be fixed now (but will probably still suck in other ways) include:
- Random reformatting of everything. This was, I think, my favorite part of the previous design. Menus, sidebars etc. would just magically move around the page. This would happen even without me doing any editing. It certainly kept things interesting if by "interesting" you mean "the worst thing that ever happened."
- Store not working in Internet Explorer. For reasons which will never be known, my score store simply stopped working for customers using Internet Explorer. Browsing, cart loading, etc. all worked. Purchasing did not. This seems to be fixed now, but if you try to order something and are inadvertently charged nine hundred dollars, please let me know. (Sidenote: if there is any e-commerce platform for selling digital downloads that wasn't designed by terrible, terrible people, I'd love to know about it. I've tried many solutions now and they're all unspeakably awful. The one I'm using now is certainly not good; it's just the least awful.)
- Utter busyness. This is no one's fault but mine. For some reason, I decided last time around that there should be all kinds of stuff everywhere – sidebars, navigation, featured posts, kittens, etc. But then I realized that good websites stopped looking like that in the 90s, so I'm chilling out.
