Open Letter to the Main Stream Media: We are not amateurs and we are going to kick your butts.
We have watched you for years try to tell us how to think, what to think, who to vote for and what to believe based solely on your own agenda. In past years, you have come to think of yourselves as the fourth branch of government, the movers and shapers of opinion and the arbiters of truth.
In case you have not been watching, America is sick and tired of you. We are turning away from you in record numbers. Your audience and readership is declining faster than you can say the word 'bias', and instead of recognizing the trend, you have only become further entrenched and determined to force society to play by your rules.
Technology has allowed us to ignore you, and in many cases, replace you altogether. I grew up watching Walter Cronkite every night, not yet aware of his agenda, his bias and his overwhelming desire to turn the nation against its leaders unless they agreed with him. I saw him replaced by the most dishonest, agenda-driven anchorman this nation has ever produced. That Dan Rather is one of you should be enough to make you feel dirty.
You believe yourselves to be solely qualified to pontificate on the day-to-day events going on around the world as if journalism school gives you a special insight into the truth. When I was in college, people went to J-school only if they flunked out of business school and did not want to become teachers.
Well guess what?
The world is on to you.
Persons with knowledge and experience are not only ignoring you, but replacing you as sources of information. These sources, which don't need anything but their personal experiences and skills when sharing information with the public; persons who have spent more time learning and doing than you ever will, are generally more accurate and informative than you know how to be.
The Internet and Blogosphere would scare you, if you were smart enough or honest enough to know better.
People with practical knowledge and experience discussing current and historical events with more ability than you, are sharing more factual and in-depth information, and at a rate which you could never compete. We are relegating many of you to overpaid gossip mongers, while you don't want to acknowledge that we are eating your lunch.
You take polls, trying to convince us of what people are thinking as you have always done, but now, knowledgeable people are analyzing your methodology, your weighing and sampling and pointing out if your polls are to be believed. You can no longer expect what you say to be taken for gospel, because we are no longer amateurs about information. Someone, somewhere on a little web site is going to smoke you out, report your biases, and make you less believable than you once were. Count on it.
You can tell us that Swift Boat Veterans for truth are liars, and NOBODY is going to believe you just because you say it. Have you checked the Non Fiction Best Sellers lists lately? But even then, we know enough now to notice when book sales are based on giveaways, fund-raisers, pre-orders and the like, to notice when you want to push sales of your favorite liberal author when their book sheds no light, tells no truth, shares no facts, but only advances what you want us all to think about you and yours. We are not buying it anymore.
I'm writing this, because I know you are watching. Just as you watched last week when one of us 'amateurs' beat you at your own game. It happens here all the time. Free Republic is not a group of 'amateurs' or nutcases, as you like to think of us. This board is a slice of America, filled with people from all walks of life, whose cumulative knowledge dwarfs that of you and your 'hired experts'. I was offended to read your reaction to people here and at the Blogs who shared what started here regarding your fraudulent flunky Dan Rather, and his attempt to pass off what was clearly a forged document as legitimate news.
You attempted to deride us, not take us seriously, dismiss us as partisans (which is apparently only a bad thing if one is conservative) and generally ignore the wealth of information we passed along to the public about one of yours trying to pull the wool over our eyes. We nailed Dan Rather, not you, and you can't stand it.
Last week, you tried to suggest that Republicans booed Bill Clinton after Bush wished him well. We caught you. We got in your face and made you take it back, because you lied. Don't you hate that? We Internet-based losers made you back down, when you felt totally free to mislead the nation about the behavior of some you don't agree with.
It is only going to get worse for you.
You can no longer tell us anything, and expect to be believed without question. You can no longer mix your agendas into your 'news' and expect to get away with it. We may not catch you every time, but eventually we will, and then many of you are going to have to get real jobs. And when you do, you are going to need more than the ability to mislead, lie, slander and ignore people who don't agree with you. In the future, expect for Blogs like Instapundit and others to be on you like a fly on stink when you attempt to mislead us.
Yesterday, you attempted to paint the young LT. Bush as a poor pilot, because he attempted multiple landings a few times while flying a training jet. Stories like this are the reason why Network News has lost half of its audience over the last 10 years. Could not one of you pampered info-princes figure out that a military pilot WANTS to practice landings as much has he/she possibly can? I guess not, when you are blinded by ideology to the degree that any information you receive can only be interpreted in the negative.
You want to call Bush AWOL, but you don't want to talk about his hundreds of flying hours in a jet that has killed lesser aviators, you only want to discuss what furthers your agenda, because you know that when Democrats win, YOU are in charge. You don't want to talk about our President's Master's Degree from Harvard while at the same time Al Gore could not hack Divinity school.
Don't you wish you could regulate us? We know you spend your nights praying to the gods of the Fairness Doctrine, hoping to silence us. Sorry, but we are here, and we are not going anywhere. Too bad we can't say the same for you. It is you who is being silenced as your audience is paying more attention to us, and tuning you OUT. Fox News is in 50 million fewer homes, but they managed to beat you silly during the Republican Convention. How did that happen? US; that's how. Because of us, the Internet, the Blogosphere, Talk Radio and others, the nation no longer see you as the gatekeepers of information.
Take a lesson MSM, though it hurts, try a little fairness. Give balance a shot, and stop being a mouthpiece for the liberal agenda. Pretend if you must, that Conservatives are not Neanderthals long enough to get through a news segment. I know it must hurt to not be able to prove your superiority to us in all that you do and say, but try it.
Finally, just embrace the horror, folks. You might actually learn something from us merry bands of 'amateur' journalists. You see, we don't have an audience to please. We don't have to sell ad-space, or get face-lifts to keep our jobs. That leaves us free to share information on the subjects we might know a little something about without angering our liberal masters. On Free Republic, you can at times find as many threads angry at Republicans as you can Democrats. We don't have to hire experts, if we don't know something, we can ask a fellow FReeper or use Google, much faster than you can pay someone to tell you what you want to hear.
On Free Republic alone, there are experts in many fields. We have writers, poets, engineers, aviators, artists, journalists, (they keep that on the down-low), lawyers, historians, teachers, politicians, current and former members of all branches of the military; all who actually know what they are talking about without having a script (or DNC talking points) shoved in their face.
The choice is yours, MSM. You can join us in working to share information with a hungry audience, or you can be replaced. We don't need Nielson, just a web site and an idea. Instead of insulting the remainder of your dwindling viewers, readers and listeners, why don't you just agree to cut the crap, stop the parroting of the NY Times long enough to do your own work, and finally decide to become REAL journalists again.
I'm not saying we are journalists; we have jobs and careers beyond 'he-said-she-said'. We do like to share what we know, and we don't even get it right every time. However, the truth is in the numbers. We have them and they are growing, while yours are shrinking more rapidly every day. If you don't change your ways and soon, you are going to become irrelevant before this decade is over. Many of you already are. We only tune in to 'Petah' Jennings to watch him bravely strain to keep his composure whenever he has to report a Democrat election defeat. On a good night Chris Matthews total viewership barely equals the number of viewers on the Oxygen network.
The trends are in our favor. If you don't wise up, we will kick your agenda-driven ass.
I'm Pukin Dog.
Now, these are not close companions, they are just ordinary people who I converse with in the course of my work.
You tell 'em bub!
They are scared to death but like the junkie, just can't stop.
Great piece. Thanks for writing it.
Pukin Dog bump.
Thanks,that was good. :)
Rails pass, Pukin Dog. Or as our Air Force brothers would say, "Shack!"
FR and the blogosphere are bringing the wonders of decentralized decision making to the media.
Before, a few organizations could control the media as an oligopoly. They may not have been a monopoly per se, but with the same political views and emersed in the same culture the result was almost the same. But now there are hundreds of independent decision makers judging stories.
These new newshounds are every bit as bound by their own biases as the old guard, but there are so many of them, approaching the news from every possible angle, that in the end the decision to cover a story centers around its objective value.
This, BTW, is also, basically, why capitalism is a superior economic system to socialism.
Let's kick their ASSES!!!!!!
Do we hae to report what we're wearing?.....OK I'm not wearin' anything. What? Yes dear..I'd like another glass of scotch.
Back off there matey. I'm in my 70's and have been aware of the MSM bias since Cronkite.
I think that "Fox News Watch" was filmed just as the W Guard Forgery story was impacting. It looked to be filmed maybe Thurs or Fri.
"We have writers, poets, engineers, aviators, artists, journalists(they keep that on the down-low), historians, teachers, politicians, current and former members of all services of the military"
Let's not forget us Filmmakers! Yes a conservative filmmaker, We are around! lol!!
Great Post Dog!!!
Huzzah! You just made Zell Miller smile!
Way to go Pukin Dog!
Frankly, there is nothing I enjoy more then reading a well written article crafted by a real wordsmith. Other than Styne, I haven't seen one of those in a long, long time.
Man, you do an excellent job of "just venting." This is an OUTSTANDING editorial, Pukin Dog. I'm going to read it several times (and pass it along to friends) because it just feels so darned good to see the words we all know are true being expressed so well.
(Is the "I'm Pukin Dog" the tag for your television standup?)

I turned back at the entrance of the coloir because I'm not sure if I can make it safe down by myself at the first move.
A friend and a 44er both turned back in the middle part, way too many loose rocks.
A 48er completed the summit!
The SW coloir approach is a spectacular trip in itself. Constant view and lakes, unbelievable terrain, just hike to the sky top glacier is 110% worth it.
However i don't think an 'agile dog' can make it and condition changed with many loose rocks. And the approach is still very steep and exposed, too much risk for me to take. My fried kicked off a night stand sized rock and you just don't know which ones you can trust.
Next time I'll probably go with guidesI from the north side, this trip has been phenomenal.

Altidore struck for a hat trick for the third time this season, netting a trio of goals in a nine-minute span in AZ Alkmaar's 6-0 rout of FC Utrecht Sunday.
Altidore took advantage of two Utrecht red cards to strike from the penalty spot in the 28th and 34th minutes before latching onto a cross and connecting for a leaping header from about eight yards out in the 37th minute to cap his prolific stretch.
Altidore had previously tallied hat tricks against Roda JC on Sept. 16 and against Vitesse on Jan. 19. He now has 28 goals across all competitions this season (21 in league play), continuing to add to his single-season record mark for Americans based abroad.
AZ had no problem killing off the match against nine-man Utrecht, and the result lifted the club six points clear of a place in a relegation playoff and extended its league unbeaten streak to three matches. Aron Johannsson, an Alabama-born Icelandic international, tallied the final goal of the match in his second appearance with AZ after making a winter transfer from AGF Aarhus.

With an integrated (and capable) browser, Songbird allows you to wander off to find new sources of music all within the app itself. It's in this area that Songbird can claim many features not readily available in other players:
- Use a web page or an RSS feed as a playlist, automatically finding audio files within
- Web search using Firefox's MyCroft search bar / management, allowing you to add new search providers when visting a site that includes a MyCroft or OpenSearch provider.
- Last.fm integration
- "mashTape" pane that finds artist info and related Flickr photos / YouTube videos & Google News
- Add-ins support using the same XUL backbone as Firefox. (Yes, AdBlock / NoScript are available)
This article will cover me reviewing the Songbird experience, coming from an iTunes user with an already chunky iTunes library of some 6'000 items.
- Test Machine
- 15" MacBook Pro (Early 2007)
- 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard"
- Getting Songbird
Songbird is readily available from getsongbird.com in these flavours:
- Windows XP-SP2 / Vista (11.7 MB)
- Linux i686 (28.7 MB)
- Linux x64 (30 MB)
- Mac OS X Leopard, Intel Only (28.7 MB)
Community contributed builds have also been produced for Solaris and Mac PPC
The Mac download expands into a 117 MB app file (iTunes is 129 MB)
First Run
I'm reviewing this app from the standpoint of a regular user already using iTunes, who has decided to download and try out Songbird, having heard good word about it - much the same story as users trying out and switching to Firefox.
Whilst this might present a somewhat unfair position of comparing Songbird to iTunes in someway, I feel that doing a "clean-room" evaluation of Songbird would not prove much in the real world, as well as it would deny testing one important feature of Songbird: it's iTunes importing capabilities.
Migrating from one app to another is always a very fearful experience. You don't know if the new app is going to make a total mess of your old data and leave you with a clean-up operation that will take weeks. Before running Songbird for the first time, I made sure my Time Machine backup was up to date meaning that I could do a hassle-free roll back should things go wrong. Throughout this review I'll be keeping my eye on how well Songbird co-exists with iTunes.
Upon starting the app and after a licence agreement and an introduction page, you are presented with the import options:
Thankfully Songbird provides the ability to import an iTunes library, and can handle external changes made by iTunes.
The next page provides some default add-ins to expand Songbird functionality. Personally, I hate any advertising in the software I use, especially stuff that gives information out to websites in order to sell me stuff. However, I let these add-ins be as I would like to experience the default Songbird design.
If anything the benefits of easy plug-in functionality via the add-ins means that one can be mix-'n'-match according to taste, rather than being lumped with 'bloat' with no option to remove it (A problem that greatly plagues software with ever increasing version numbers).
Hmm, checked by default. Personally, I'd close and remove the app right now. I find that kind of behaviour massively disrespectful. Real were pulling this stunt years ago and I still don't trust any software that asks for an email address, optional or not. Regardless, the average user would in most cases just click "Finish".
Songbird took approximately 5 minutes to import my library of nearly 6'000 items.
Both iTunes and Songbird start from cold in about the same time (5 seconds).
The playlist folders I had in iTunes were not imported, instead they were converted into playlists themselves. This is kind of a nuisance, as I had been relying on the functionality of iTunes automatically combining playlists live by viewing the parent folder.

Three years after Worthington Christian High School hired Jason Crary, officials heard that something inappropriate had happened with a student at his former school.
Three years after Worthington Christian High School hired Jason Crary, officials heard that something inappropriate had happened with a student at his former school.
But no criminal charges had been filed and, after speaking with the parent of the student, Worthington Christian officials didn't lend credence to the rumors. That was in 2002.
Yesterday, Crary pleaded guilty in Wisconsin to four felony counts of sexual assault by a school staff member.
Last week, he resigned from Worthington Christian, where he taught English and coached the girls soccer team.
He's out on bail until April 3, when he'll be sentenced. The prosecutor in the case said he will recommend a suspended prison sentence -- meaning it won't take effect -- and probation.
After the plea was announced, Worthington Christian's superintendent sent parents a letter offering officials' prayers and explaining why they didn't take action after their 2002 investigation.
"The charges to which Mr. Crary pled guilty today are substantially different from what (former Worthington Christian Superintendent) Taylor Smith recalls being discussed in 2002," Superintendent Bill Williams wrote.
Crary wasn't arrested until last October, days after the resignation of a different Worthington Christian soccer coach who reportedly had fondled a student several years earlier. Worthington Christian immediately suspended Crary.
The Wisconsin criminal complaint said Crary had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl who played on the soccer team that he coached at Heritage Christian School in Milwaukee.
The girl reported the abuse to police in 2007, Assistant District Attorney Kenneth R. Berg said. She said that Crary fondled her several times between 1997 and 1999 at his house.
He resigned from the Milwaukee school at the end of the 1998-99 school year to take a job at Worthington Christian.
Crary's arrest came a few days after the completion of a Dispatch series, " The ABCs of Betrayal," which included information on his colleague Dwayne Smith.
In 1996, Smith admitted that he had fondled a middle-school girl, church leaders said. He resigned, attended Christian counseling and was forgiven by the school and associated church, Grace Brethren. He later was rehired by the school but resigned again after the Dispatch series ran.
If there was uncertainty as to Crary's guilt before, Assistant Superintendent Troy McIntosh said yesterday, there shouldn't be now.
"He admitted to his guilt in the matter. We love Jason, and that will never change. We care about his family a lot, but we also want justice for his victim. So we've been willing to wait until this was resolved in court," McIntosh said.
After the Dispatch series, Worthington Christian did new background checks of its employees and sought two outside reviews of the school's hiring practices. Those should be completed in the next couple of weeks.
A permanent replacement for Crary will be hired.
"In some sense, we've had to rely on God's sovereignty and a sense that his righteousness is going to come through in this," McIntosh said. "Our hope is that we can continue to assure parents that this is a safe place."

I'd like to add color to my space but I don't want to paint. What are my options? Coordinate rugs, window treatments, décor and pillows to incorporate a new color palette into your room. If your existing wall color and furniture are in neutral hues, then the possibilities for accent colors are endless.
Before you upgrade your furniture or change your wall color, try adding accent décor and pillows and see what a change they can bring.

So add that bold pop of color, dress up your windows, enliven your walls and let your personality and style shine through.

zenmar needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Mobile management tools for IT
We are a company providing enterprise software tools for IT departments. Specifically our product helps big companies manage their BlackBerry's and iPhone devices. We have an application which is essentially a dashboard that lists servers with device users, and the health of the servers.
Please note, that my company is a rapidly growing startup. We will continue to have icon work after this project over. I've found it very hard to find good people who can create enterprise software icons. So I'd like to build an ongoing relationship with a designer for future projects.
We sell to Fortune 500 IT departments. People who would use our product are System administrators, network admins, and help-desk staff. These folks likely use other montitoring tools in addition to ours such as those from HP or Microsoft.
Basically the attached files show which icons to build with more instructions. There are approximately 8 icons total. However, not all have to be completed. It's preferable. But those described in dashboard.jpg are most important.
I don't like the sample icons used in the images. So there is no need to follow the same theme - either in color or design. I received feedback indicating that the icons are not professional looking. One person said they looked "hokey". So I am looking something that is appropriate for enterprise software. (Icons that you'd see on Windows for example)
-dashboard.jpg shows a list of servers and issues detected on those servers. I need 4 status icons --- the same icon but different colors and numbers. There is an example place holder in the image. You can use any colors. Keep in mind that Severity 1 is critical (users can't get their email because of this issue.) Severity 2 - less severe tham sev 1 but still very important. Sev 3 - lower priority item but still an issue Sev 4 - Least important and not detrimental to anything.
The left hand side shows the overall health of the server. The color reflects the highest level severity issue found for that server. These should match the icons on the right in terms of color or some other representation. Right now they show lights. Lights are still OK. Or even server images that have some indication of health is another idea.
-Properties.jpg needs an icon to show additional properties of the issue in that row. When clicking the icon, the window opens with more information.
-MoreDetails.jpg - Need icons for KBA, Solutions, and Details as well as Ignore & Dismiss in the top right. See image for more details.
Note, I care mostly about the images in dashboard.jpg and am willing to pay the prize money for a good design only in that page. All icons is preferable.

Simon Collison
whiteinge, I do agree now. Thanks for the clarification. Regarding blockquotes, you are correct.
Still, many, many designers continue to use image-based quote-marks for quotes, comments and so on, and if they still wish to enhance blockquotes that way, this method becomes useful.
My main reason for writing this article was to show that irregular characters can be used as drop caps, where many of us had previously found it too difficult.

NEW YORK -- PepsiCo Inc.'s net income dipped 5 percent in the third quarter as the snack food and beverage maker poured more money into bolstering its flagship brands and developing new products that position it for the future.
Still, profit for the company, which makes Frito-Lay chips, Tropicana juice and Quaker Oats, was above Wall Street expectations and Pepsi stood by its guidance for the year.
PepsiCo, the world's No. 2 soda maker, is trying to play catch up to bigger rival Coca-Cola Co. At a time when people in developed markets like the U.S. are more concerned about drinking sugary sodas, both companies have been relying more on bottled teas, water and other drinks. But soft drinks remain a big business and Coca-Cola has built its market share in recent years through aggressive marketing and innovative packaging.
As its share has dwindled, PepsiCo this year began working to raise the stature of its namesake cola and other key brands. The turnaround push includes an advertising blitz with pop stars such as Nicki Minaj and athletes such as New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
PepsiCo said it should take about a year for the efforts to start paying off. In the meantime, the company said sales volume for its flagship beverages unit in the Americas fell 3 percent in the third quarter. Sodas declined 2 percent, in part because a shift in the calendar, although the company noted that its market share improved.
Non-carbonated soft drinks decreased by 7 percent; without giving details, the company said the drop was partly because it got rid of less-profitable juice packages.
CEO Indra Nooyi said in a conference call with investors that areas in the North America beverages unit were a "work in progress."
For example, she said Gatorade volume was down in the high-single digits in part because the company wouldn't lower prices and some retailers stopped carrying the drinks as a result. But Nooyi said PepsiCo didn't want to fall back into the trap of marketing Gatorade as a general hydration drink, as it did in 2004-2006, just to boost volumes.
"If we go back to that, we are again renting volume," she said. By instead positioning Gatorade as a drink developed specifically for athletes, Nooyi said PepsiCo will be able to charge higher prices over the long term.
The same was true of packaged bottled waters; Nooyi noted that there was a "hell of a price war" in the segment and that PepsiCo was moving away from simply chasing short-term volume spikes. PepsiCo's water brands include Aquafina.
Overall, PepsiCo's core operating profit for the period declined 8 percent, reflecting higher costs for ingredients, marketing and pension expenses.
PepsiCo, based in Purchase, N.Y., said it earned $1.9 billion, or $1.21 per share. That's compared with $2 billion, or $1.25 per share, a year ago. Earnings from core operations were $1.20 per share, better than the $1.16 per share analysts expected.
Total revenue fell 5 percent to $16.65 billion, partly because of unfavorable currency exchange rates and the refranchising of its business in China and Mexico. That means that revenue in those countries is now recorded by PepsiCo's local partners. Analysts expected revenue of $16.96 billion.
When excluding the impact of exchange rates and other changes, revenue rose by 5 percent. The increase reflected a 1 percent jump in volume and 4 percent bump in pricing.
PepsiCo expects costs for ingredients to moderate in the fourth quarter. But for the full year, the company still expects adjusted earnings to fall by 5 percent.
PepsiCo's results come a day after rival Coca-Cola reported that its net income for the third quarter rose 4 percent to $2.31 billion, or 50 cents per share, as revenue rose 1 percent to $12.34 billion.
The Atlanta-based company said global sales volume rose 4 percent, while sales volume in North America rose 2 percent. Coca-Cola said the latter increase was driven by non-carbonated drinks such as Powerade, while soda sales were flat from a year ago.
Going forward, PepsiCo is developing products that cater to shifting tastes. Next year, for example, Nooyi said the company has launches planned for the rapidly growing energy drink segment.
She also noted that people still love the taste of cola, even if they have concerns about sugar and artificial sweeteners. As such, she suggested that the company is working on a diet cola with natural sweeteners.
Shares of PepsiCo fell 20 cents to close at $70.10 Wednesday.

Štrbac site gains importance for local people
WWF along with Public Enterprise "Vojvodinašume", who manage the reseve, have focused on the revitalisation of the Štrbac area since January 2011. The aim is to preserve species of local importance through restoring their habitats, and to preserve natural water springs as well as improve ecotourism opportunities in the reserve as a whole.
"Everything we planned so far has been accomplished", said Đorđe Šimunovački, Assistant Director for Forestry and Hunting in the Public Enterprise "Vojvodinašume". "As a first step we mechanically removed shrubs and took them outside the borders of the reserve as required by our nature conservation laws".
Štrbac restoration works are part of a wider initiative to restore wetlands along the Danube River and more specifically in the Mura-Drava-Danube area. Project work is focused on the restoration of wet meadows and shallow ponds in the area of Štrbac in the Special Nature Reserve Gornje Podunavlje in Serbia, as well as of fishponds in Kopački Rit Nature Park in Croatia.
As part of the press trip, the journalists had the chance to experience the remarkable nature, plant and animal life of the area, and to realise the importance this reserve has for local people.
"Wetlands are hotspots of biodiversity and provide many benefits and services, including flood protection, drinking water, nutrient removal, tourism and recreation, fish and fowl", said Duška Dimović, WWF Programme Manager for Serbia. "Our work focuses especially on the Lower and Middle sections of the Danube and its major tributaries, where there are many floodplains and wetlands still remaining. Here we have the greatest potential for restoration as well".
Special Nature Reserve Gornje Podunavlje is part of the Transboundary UNESCO Biosphere Reserve "Mura-Drava-Danube". In July 2012 the Hungarian-Croatian part of the reserve was designated by UNESCO. Once Serbia, Austria and Slovenia join in, the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve will span five countries.
The project is being carried out in cooperation with the Public Enterprise "Vojvodinašume", and with the support of the Provincial Secretariat for Urban planning, Construction and Environment, the Institute for Nature Conservation of Vojvodina Province and The Coca-Cola Company, a long-standing WWF partner in wetland restoration.

Team Needs
This is a sticky topic.
new posts
Originally posted by bullg8rdaddy View PostTeam needs:
1. Pass rushing 4-3 DE - Stylez White is average and getting old. Crowder is meh. Kyle Moore is a bum. Michael Bennett is a high motor back up. Alex Magee is more of a LE IMO. We are 31st in the NFL in sacks and 3rd down conversion % allowed. Simply put, we are horrible at putting pressure on the opposing team's QB.
Bowers (2 year starter, All ACC 1st team)
Quinn (2 year starter, 2009 All ACC 1st team)
Kerrigan (Co-Captain, 3 year starter, 2 time All BIG 10 1st team)
Aldon Smith (2 year starter, 2009 All-BIG 12 2nd team)
Jeremy Beal (3 year starter, 2009 All BIG 12 2nd team, 2010 1st team)
Romeus (2 year starter, 2009 All BIG EAST 1st team)
2.4-3 Outside Linebacker - Geno Hayes is still young, but is way too light and inconsistent. Who knows if we can count on him even if he were a better player, because of his off the field issues. Quincy Black has been on the team for awhile and is currently on IR. Not saying that he isn't supposed ot be back to 100% before the season starts, but I think we have seen enough from him to know he is average at best. Hayward is a career special teamer. Would like to see more of what Watson can do in the next 2 games, but still think we should look to upgrade here in the first 3 rounds of the draft. Our run defense is horrible, 29th in yards per game and dead last in yards per rush. UGGHH!!
Akeem Ayers (2 year starter, All PAC 10 1st team)
Bruce Carter (4 year starter, All ACC 2nd team)
Martez Wilson (2 year starter, All Big 10 1st team)
Greg Jones, MLB (4 year starter, 3 time All BIG 10 1st team)
Zach Brown (2 year starter)
3. Safety - Tanard Jackson has pro bowl talent in a junkie's body. He's supposed to come back after week 2 or 3 next year, but who knows if he can get his crap together and help this team make a playoff run in 2011. Sean Jones has been a nice addition, but he has been caught out of position this year and isn't a ball hawk. Cody Grimm was a very nice diamond in the rough and really helped to improve our run defense. Love his heart, attitude and text book tackling. Corey "Hard Knocks" Lynch is more of a ball hawk than Jones, but is a 3rd stringer and it shows. Larry Asante has yet to be activated to my knowledge so I have no opinion on him, other than what I saw from him at Nebraska. He's supposedly a thumper but brings nothing else to the table. We need a ball hawking, play making free safety to play alongside Grimm in the future Bucs secondary, IMO. Grimm could be special at Strong.
Quenton Carter ( 2 year starter, All BIG 12 1st team)
Rahim Moore (3 year starter, 2 time All PAC 10 1st team)
Eric Hagg (3 year starter, All BIG 12 1st team)
Mark Barron (2 year starter, 2 time All SEC 1st team)
Ahmad Black (3 year starter, All SEC 1st team)
4. Offensive Line (other than LT) - Lets be honest these guys have been overrated when healthy and now that they have been hit with the injury bug we get to see that we have been doing ok with their backups/rookies filling in. Joseph and Faine are supposed to be the most talented, instead they are the most overrated, IMO. Trueblood lost his spot to James Lee after an early season injury and only got it back after Lee suffered a 2nd quarter injury in the Detroit game. Trueblood looks like he should be a mauling run blocker, exactly what I would expect out of a RT, but he isn't. Larsen and Zuttah are young OL that we have that have done well filling in this year. Not sure about Lee. I could live with any highly rated OL being drafted early.
Gabe Carimi (4 year starter, 2 time All BIG 10 1st team)
John Moffitt (4 year starter, 2 time ALL BIG 10 1st team)
Marcus Cannon (3 year starter, 2 time ALL MWC 1st team)
Nate Solder (3 year starter, All BIG 12 1st team)
Derek Sherrod (3 year starter, All SEC 1st team)
Anthony Castonzo (4 year starter, 2 time All ACC 1st team, 2008 2nd team)
5. Run stopping DE - See above for complete DE analysis. We could very well take 2 DE's this draft, much like how we doubled up on WR and DTs in 2010. If the elite pass rushers are gone by the time our pick comes up (which is very likely) and if we choose not to trade up, I would not be upset if the BPA in the second round was a strong LE. Wouldn't want to draft one in the first, though.
Jared Crick (2 year starter, 2 time All BIG 12 1st team)
J.J. Watt (2 year starter, All BIG 10 1st team)
Pernell McPhee (2 year starter, 2009 All SEC 2nd team and 2010 1st team)
6. Change of pace RB - some speed for our Blount Force Trauma. Don't know if we don't already have that in Kareem Huggins (IR), but if the BPA in the middle to late rounds is a fast, pass catching RB then so be it.
DeMarco Murray
Noel Devine
Kendal Hunter
Shane Vereen
7. Big bruising FB - Earnest Graham is not a true FB. Pretty sure Blount is bigger. lol
Owen Marecic
1. Check
2. Mason Foster in the third
3. Check
4. Incomplete
5. Check Clayborn in the first
6. Not really change of pace, Bradford is similar to Blount
7. Incomplete
"I don't do Pro Days, we send our scouts to those. I would rather spend my time watching film. The eye in the sky never lies. Functional Strength and athletic ability are the first things we look for in a college prospect." - Mark Dominik, Buccaneers GM

Three errors prove costly in Indians� loss
Three errors prove costly in Indians� loss
The frist damaging error was a missed catch in center from rookie Ezequiel Carrera.
With two outs and runners on first and second base in the sixth inning, Masterson forced Chicago�s Adam Dunn to send a deep fly ball to center. Carrera turned and sprinted back, but got tripped up as he hit the warning track. By the time the young center fielder gathered himself, the ball was tailing away and it glanced off his glove for a critical gaffe.
The White Sox scored twice on the play to grab a 3-1 lead they would not relinquish.
Carrera, who is highly regarded for his defense, had trouble recalling the last time he dropped a similar fly ball.
Carrera said through an interpreter, "That type of ball, in a big situation like that,I can�t remember the last time. It doesn�t feel good."
Carrera was hardly the only culprit. Sure-handed shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and catcher Carlos Santana each made an error in the seventh that led to another run for the White Sox. Cleveland�s offense managed only two runs on five hits over six innings against Edwin Jackson (7-7) before being quieted by Chicago�s bullpen.
The end result was another loss.
And a growing sense that the Indians need help from the outside Need new MLB Player .
Acta said. "It hasn�t been because of a lack of trying,We�re trying very hard to get the right guy in here, or guys for that matter."
1.3-4 DE - Ryan Pickett is a solid starter but Neal has missed too much time and Wilson and Wynn aren't good enough.
2.3-4 OLB - Depending on how So'oto, Zombo and Walden do we could still be needing a consistent pass rush other than Clay Matthews.
3.OG - T.J Lang is a solid starter but we could improve on him.
4.ILB Depth - Bishop and Hawk are good but DJ Smith and Francois aren't worthy backups yet.
Thats it really and I think its a testament to Ted Thompson that I can only think of a few guys in this draft class that would come in and start.
1. QB - Cassel sucks
2. OT - Barry Richardson sucks
3. RB - Thomas Jones will be done soon and Charles isn't an every down back
4. TE - Seems Moeaki is returning back to his injury prone ways
5. ILB - An upgrade at the thumper spot wouldn't hurt.
6. S - Could use better quality depth at both safety positions.
7. K - Succop seems really off.
CB - If they can retain Carr, they should be fine at CB. If they can't, CB will be very high on the needs list.
NT - Gregg is washed up, so it'll depend if they think Powe can take ahold of the starting position or not.Currently on IR: Rip 2011 Jamaal Charles :(
For 2012:
1: OL: We still need Guards, Center, and a Tackle. Cutler has been sacked close to 5 times a game so far in the 2011 season and it can be downright painful to watch the line do nothing in run blocking. Even though this is the number one need, I can see JA waiting until the second or third round to address it as he's been using first round picks on tackles with Chris Williams and Gabe Carimi.
2: WR: My god do we have anyone who will attack the ball? Dane Sanzenbacher seems to be a keeper. But we have no one who will go up and fight for the ball. The weapons around Cutler (not including Forte who is amazing) are simply not good enough to give him any confidence. And at the WR position Johnny Knox, Devin Hester, and Earl Bennet aren't cutting it.
3: CB: Ugh I wish I could put this position higher on the chart. Sadly even though this position has almost no talent in it, we can't afford to address it with a first or second round pick. We have been rotating Zach Bowman, Tim Jennings, and DJ Moore next to Charles Tillman the last few years, but none of them are more than stop gaps.
4: S- We might have a starter is Meriweather, but Major Wright is always getting hurt, and Chris Harris is nearing the end. Chris Conte was drafted last year, but beyond him there isn't much to get hopeful about at the position.Bears fan
Whitney Mercilus will be a better and more productive player than Shea McClellin

This was stolen, and I appreciate it.
Jimmy Buckets <3
3. G/T depending on how Sherrod develops.
That's really it.
LB: Any spot. We're done ignoring this position early in the draft. Chaney may be the future in the middle but we're still not sure he's an every down LB. Brian Rolle seems like a player but is undersized and again, probably not an every down guy. We went all in for a Superbowl run this season and our ignorance toward the LB position in the past is what is going to end up stopping us.
Cullen Jenkins was brought in but is on the wrong side of 30 and Patterson has been solid but unspectacular. Behind them there's not much to speak of for the future and D-line depth here is a must. Depending on Brandon Graham's status heading into next season DL in general may be need #2 but I'm optimistic Cole/Babin/Graham will be a strong top-3 for a few years.
Not positive that they'd key in on G here. If Danny Watkins doesn't turn it around QUICK I don't know if they scrap that pick right away and add another guard, and they may need one even if his light does turn on. But if Mudd is still here they may look for later round gems. I know Will Rackley was a target this past draft and I'm not sure who's idea it was to just take Watkins in round one. So while guard may be one of our bigger needs I'm not sure we spend back to back first round picks on the position especially when the first one isn't working out. A long term LT may be targeted, or a RT to slide Herremans back inside. Again, not sure of the staff's thoughts here - if Herremans is our long-term RT or just necessary there for now because of our lack of talent at the position.Last edited by GaMeTiMe; 10-07-2011, 04:53 AM.Nick Foles are you really my daddy??!..?
Ignored this thread for a while because of the title...
1. LG: This is our biggest need, however I think the Jets go the free agent route for this one. I could see the Jets drafting Cordy Glenn though if he's available, and would love the pick.
2. NT: Pouha has not been producing, our run defense has been terrible, and he's in his contract year. I would be VERY surprised if they resigned him, and started him in 2012. I feel strongly that this is the Jets 1st round pick. Ta'amu, Worthy, or Chapman would work, assuming Worthy or Chapman beef up by pro day, 310 is not big enough to be an NFL 3-4 NT.
3. OLB: Please keep in mind that the Jets draft 4-3 DEs and convert them to OLB typically. This is the probable 2nd or 3rd round pick, so if guys like Curry or Taylor are on the board I expect they'll grab them.
4. RT: Ducasse has been a huge bust, and as high as the Jets usually prioritize O-Line, I'm really surprised we didn't look to improve this position in the off-season. Still missing Kareem McKenzie here. Hopefully they grab a solid veteran from free agency, if not, look for them to draft a RT in the first 3 rounds.
5. HB: I haven't been sold on Greene since preseason 2010, and LT is in his contract year and can retire any year now. I could see the Jets plugging this hole with free agency in 2012 as 2013 looks to be the year to draft a HB (Dyer or Lattimore would be nice!)
6. WR: Mason can also retire any year now and Burress only signed a 1 yr deal. Jets probably sign a WR in the off-season and also draft one 4th round or later.
7. DB: Strickland, Pool, and Leonhard are in their contract years. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if we let Leonhard go, but it could happen. They probably use their 6th or 7th pick on a CB, and sign another undrafted free agent DB as well.Twitter noob: @Rob_Pisano

SANFORD, Fla. -- In a once-segregated Southern town where a shooting death last year ignited a dispute that polarized America, the new police chief has embraced a simple tactic. He calls it the "walk and talk."
Unprecedented in Sanford, where George Zimmerman is on trial for killing teenager Trayvon Martin, the campaign has led Cecil Smith out of the police station and into a historic black neighborhood nearby. There, the newcomer from the Northern city of Chicago, has knocked on doors and talked with people about their concerns.
Related: Florida Sheriff Ready for Riots After Verdict
Barely 100 days into the job, Smith has also moved beyond the neighborhood known as Goldsboro and into white, Hispanic and mixed neighborhoods. He has ordered his 130 officers to get out of their cruisers and engage the public. They hand out business cards with their cell phone numbers.
By reaching out, Smith, who is black, says he has set himself apart from his predecessors, one of whom stepped down after his handling of the shooting enflamed racial tensions in town and rekindled a national debate about race relations in the United States.
His efforts could be put to the test in the coming days, with a six-woman jury soon to begin deliberations on a verdict for Zimmerman, who is accused of second-degree murder for shooting Martin. Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, was armed, and Martin, 17-years old and black, was unarmed.
The defense could rest its case as early as Wednesday.
Even though Smith's police force has put measures in place ahead of the verdict, the chief said he expects calm on the streets of Sanford, in central Florida, where protests broke out after the shooting last year. Demonstrations soon spread across the country, where a debate on racial profiling and gun laws flared anew.
"Right now I'm expecting nothing," Smith told Reuters from the same police station where investigators interrogated Zimmerman the night of Feb. 26, 2012 after he had shot and killed Martin in what he said was self-defense.
"People are not feeling or hearing anything out there in the community, there's no chatter out there about anything taking place and in some cases there's more of a spin-up on the media side with regards to there being some issues of concern," Smith said.
Still, with many legal commentators saying the prosecution's case appeared weak, officials are preparing for any uproar that could follow if Zimmerman is acquitted.
Sanford police, in conjunction with some county sheriff's departments, have put together a plan to "ensure the safety of the cities" after a verdict, Smith said. He declined to reveal any details.
While Smith said the town has moved past the outrage that surrounded the case a year ago, reminders of the emotional outpouring that followed the shooting remain. At a shrine to Martin in Sanford that is fashioned out of railway cross-ties and concrete blocks, a banner reads, "Justice in Sanford, Florida - Now is the Time!"
"You can feel the tension," said Francis Oliver, a local black activist. "The Zimmerman case has split this town down the middle."
Among some of the black community leaders, there is also concern that the jury in the Zimmerman murder trial consisted of five white women, and one woman who is Hispanic of mixed race. Sanford, a town of 54,000, is 30 percent black.
"We wonder, could they really see things out of our eyes, our perspective?" said Cindy Philemon, who helps run a welcome center in the Goldsboro neighborhood. "Our young people are in danger of being profiled and killed out of suspicion."
Smith said he has yet to encounter racism in Sanford, failing to detect a trace of it even when he is out in civilian clothes with his wife, who is white.
When one of his predecessors, Billy Ray Lee Jr., who is white, decided against arresting Zimmerman, angry demonstrations took place right outside the police station. African-American community leaders complained racial profiling led Zimmerman to target Martin as suspicious, and that a police force with a record of inflaming the black community too easily accepted Zimmerman's story.
When those demonstrations grew more intense and spread across the country, Lee stepped down. Protesters demanded an arrest, which came 45 days after the shooting when a special prosecutor charged Zimmerman.
Turner Clayton, the local leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), agreed with Smith in expecting calm after any verdict, even if it is for acquittal, largely because the main demands of the demonstrators have been met.
Like many towns in the South, Sanford has a long history of racial strife, including one involving Jackie Robinson, who overcame segregation to become the first African American to play in Major League Baseball in 1947. While still in the minor leagues, Robinson was due to play a game in Sanford, but the local police chief escorted him off the field, according to Chris Lamb, author of "Blackout: The Untold Story of Jackie Robinson's First Spring Training."
Into this town stepped Smith, 52, after having spent 25 years with the police department in the Chicago suburb of Elgin, where he was deputy police chief. On April 1, Smith became the seventh Sanford police chief in five years, including two interim chiefs and two acting chiefs.
Rather than being embraced by Sanford blacks, Smith said he was met with distrust because he came from the north.
"You don't understand us southerners because you're a northerner," Smith said he was told. "There's a whole, gray, weird kind of era that's taken place in this community where there's all kinds of separations, not just between black and white but within the black community."
Smith's rejoinder has often been a variation of "Dude, I'm from Chicago," meaning he has experience in a rough-and-tumble world.
Clayton, president of the Seminole County NAACP, said he appreciated what Smith was doing but cautioned it would take time for results.
"I know he's knocking on doors, trying to get the trust of the community again," Clayton said. "It's not going to happen overnight."
