Defensive Tips
I'll start with defense since it is obviously the key to becoming a madden
expert. One of the best things about madden is its ability to allow situation
specific substitutions and save these settings for later use. This feature
allows maximum customization of your roster to shutdown that week's opponent.
However, depending on the rules (human tournaments) you might not be able to
do any of this, so I'll provide some other tips to help.
++++++++++++++++++++ Tip #1 - Situational Substitutions +++++++++++++++++++++
Know your players! Your typical 4-3 is not meant to cover 4-5 WR sets. Also
your starting LB may not be your best cover LB. Try using your fastest LB in
the Dime defense while putting the best tackler in the 4-3. Why have a
run-stop defensive lineman in on the Nickel or Dime defense? Granted your
starting DT might be better overall, but when it comes to pass-rush, he just
doesn't cut it. Remember what you need when drafting and picking up
free-agents in franchise mode. Just because a player is better overall does
not mean they fit your defense.
Another benefit of substitutions is that your players will be fresh for those
long drives. This couples with the fact that some of your rookies that don't
start will get much needed playing time experience.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tip #2 - Bend Don't Break +++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is a good strategy against the computer to keep them from scoring. Pick
defenses that are at least a one man deep zone. This means at least one of
your safeties retreats deep into a zone taking away the huge pass play and
sometimes a long run. Control your MLB and have him cover either the TE
(if uncovered) or the RB/FB out of the backfield. If the RB stays in to block
you have the option of blitzing or droping into a short middle zone. This
style of play works well on first downs because it doesn't give up too much
and can stop the run.
If you like an aggressive defense, see tip #3...
++++++++++++++++++++ Tip #3 - Pressure Pressure Pressure ++++++++++++++++++++
Mix it up, blitz 2 LBs, drop in a zone, and play bump and run coverage. Next
play, bring the SS, double the X reciever, and shift you DL left. You'll be
surprised how much this helps against a human opponent. Shifting your DL to
the strong side on every play is not the best bet. If you can get to the QB
a fraction of a second earlier, he may throw an errant pass and it is
turnover city! Also watch the battle in trenches between the OL and the DL.
See if you can find a mismatch early in the game and try to exploit that often.
An example of a mismatch is when your right DT is getting double-blocked
everytime unless you bring your ROLB on the blitz and shift your line left.
This allows your right DT to beat the single-block and get more pressure.
If you like a conservative defense, see tip #2...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tip #4 - Know The Coverage ++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is where you can win or lose a game. You need to know the coverage and
stick with it. If you are controlling the MLB and he is supposed to drop into
a short right zone, then do it even if there is no WR in the area. You might
try and cheat a little, but if you don't play the right area, the opposing
team's QB will eat you for breakfast. I'll go into the specifics of each
defense later. Make sure that if you audible to a bump and run type coverage
that you have a least 1 man in a deep zone if not 2.
The ultimate key to coverage is matchups on both sides of the ball. Obviously
your opponent is going to try and get a LB one on one with a WR. You might
see a lot of motion to try to get those matchups. One all around strategy is
to pick a coverage that puts at least one DB on each WR. Be careful because
your opponent may try and stack one side of the field with WR or put a WR
in the backfield. If you have to cover a RB or WR with a LB, make sure you
bump them off line the line (its legal!) and have a safety deep just in case.
Some teams like Baltimore and Kansas City like to throw to the TE, so watch
for this as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++ Tip #5 - Know The Coverage Part 2 ++++++++++++++++++++
If you don't already know who you should be covering, don't move your player
(keep your hands off the control pad!) until you see where he is going. If
he isn't running towards a offensive player, chances are that you are in a
zone. Zone means you have a little freedom to move around. If your defensive
player moves towards an offensive player then that is his coverage.
As you play more games of madden, you'll get better at recognizing these
coverages for different formations, defenses, and even against motion. I have
played about 60+ games of Madden 2002 and I have about 20-25 different
defensive schemes that I know the coverages inside and out for. Once you get
to that level, you can at least stop the computer and most people from doing
pretty much anything (excluding luck of course)! Try to learn the coverages
to stop specific plays, then graduate to formations, and finally teams
(or players).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tip #6 - Who to use??? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There really isn't a best option here. Some people like to control the guys
rushing the QB while others always use one of the safeties to guard against
the deep ball. I've noticed that the best defense in Madden is if your LBs
lead the team in tackles. If your current strategy is not producing these
results, consider switching it up and trying to get one of your LB to lead
the team in tackles. What I suggest is to control the MLB (pick one if you
are running the 3-4 or Nickel), when he is not blitzing the QB. Know his
coverage... (see above) Usually the MLB should shadow one of the running
backs out of the backfield, cover the TE man to man, or play a short middle
The reasoning behind using the MLB is that you can actually see the part of
the screen that he is supposed to be in. If your coverage takes you off the
screen, simply switch using X to the closest rusher and hope you MLB can
handle things on his own. It is better than making wild guesses where you
should go while off the screen. Most good Madden players will make effective
use of the off-screen WRs in order to frustrate opponents into blitzing more.
The biggest thing is to get as close as you can to the coverage before it
leaves the screen. Stay calm and things will happen, hey keep in mind that
your opponent can see what going on out there either and if you get a few
tips or an interception, he might think twice about trying his luck out
there again.
Defenseive Formations
This section will focus on which defensive sets to use and what players you
should try and get to have success.
********************************* 3-4 ***************************************
To stop the run with this defense, you'll need great LBs who have high
awareness and tackling ability. Most opponents won't have any success running
the ball to the outside against a 3-4 defense, but watch for the inside
running game. If you overpursue and don't fill those gaps, you'd better have
some good safeties!
To stop the pass with this defense, you'll need to either bring the blitz and
hope for pressure before an overmatched LB loses his coverage, or drop into
a zone that will probably give up 7-8 yard passes. Make sure that if you
decide to drop into a zone, you stay over the top of any WR/RB who are covered
by a LB. Also watch for motion, and try to keep your coverage LB lined-up as
close to his coverage as possible.
To maximum this type of defense, I recommend two fast and agile LBs, one on
each side of the defense. The other 2 LBs should be aware and good tacklers.
This will bring a little balance to your LBs. I also recommend 2 good tacklers
at the SS and FS positions, because most likely you are not going to go man
to man with these guys. As for the defensive line, it depends what you want
to try and do. If you want to get some pressure with only a 3 man rush, then
go with a fast and agile DL. If your 3-4 is having trouble stopping the inside
running game, then put in those strong monster DL.
********************************* 4-3 ***************************************
To stop the run with this defense, you'll need two good tackling OLBs and a
run-stop SS. The only way you are really going to give up a lot of yards on
the ground with this defense is if your team overpursues all over the field.
Think of the SS as a last resort tackler.
To stop the pass with this defense, you'll need to get pressure and work
those line matchups. Chances are that your MLB with be covering either the
TE or the RB, so you'll need a good coverage MLB (speed and awareness). This
means that you need to establish just enough pressure to force the opposing
team's QB to throw the ball before your MLB either loses his coverage or goes
off the screen (where you can't see).
To maximize this type of defense, I recommend two OLBs who can tackle well,
and a MLB who is an excellent cover guy. Your FS should be used as a 3rd DB
and should be another good cover guy. The SS should be used as the last
resort tackler with high awareness and tackling ability. Mix your DL with half
speed guys and half strength guys for a more consistent pass rush.
******************************* Nickel **************************************
To stop the run with this defense, you'll need at least one good tackling LB
and shift the DL. Whichever way you shift the DL, control the opposite saftey
and use him to protect against the sweep or toss. If you want you can shift
the LBs instead of the DL. This in effect, turns the Nickel into a 4-3 and
really shuts down the run well.
To stop the pass with this defense, you'll need to be aware of coverage
matchups. If your opponent comes out with only 2 WR, think about blitzing
your extra DB or a LB. When your opponent has 3 WR and you want pressure, try
blitzing a saftey. Against 4 WR, control the LB opposite to your extra DB
and stay underneath the 4th WR. Against 5 WR, control the safety opposite
the extra DB and stay in his designated coverage.
To maximize this type of defense, I recommend an all around type 3rd DB. One
LB who is better at coverage and a good tackling SS. Make 3 of your DL focus
on the pass-rush and 1 DT focus on run-stop. This should balence your defense
and allow you to deal with most 3 and 4 WR sets. Watch for the TE (if there
is one), because most likely he will draw a LB in coverage.
********************************* Dime **************************************
To stop the run with this defense, you'll need your safeties to be mainly
run-stoppers. Most likely you'll have the match-ups you want coverage wise,
so control one of the safeties and focus on the run.
To stop the pass with this defense, you'll need your best coverage LB in the
game. Also make sure all 4 CBs are strong in coverage as well. Against a 3 WR
set, I recommend doubling the outside WRs and force the opponent to use his
RB or 3rd WR to beat you. Hopefully your LB can handle the RB and then you
can focus on that 3rd WR. Against 4 WR, I recommend matching CB to WR one to
one. Use the safeties to protect deep. You can try extra pressure against 5
WR, but I recommend using the MLB to drop into a middle under zone, hopefully
your DBs will contain the outside.
To maximize this type of defense, I recommend the best coverage MLB you can
get. Usually you can draft a LB who is low overall but covers really well.
Look for them! Your safeties should be great tacklers since they will often
be your last resort. Forget a run-stop DL with this defense! Go for quick,
rested pass rushers. I don't recommend using this defense against short
yardage situations. Mix up your coverage style from normal to bump and run.
Use more bump and run if you can get pressure on the QB.
******************************** Goaline ************************************
To stop the run with this defense, you'll need to clog up the middle with a
big and strong DL. All of your best tackling LBs should be in the game and
you might even consider putting an extra DL in there. Coverage should be
strickly man to man with maybe a safety deep. Goaline is mostly used in short
yardage, so substitue accordingly. Use one of the LBs that is off the line to
defend the sweep/toss play.
To stop the pass with this defense, you'll need your best coverage saftey in
the game. Control the weak-side LB that isn't lined up on the line. Watch the
TE coming off the line and pray that your DB can do the rest (since they
are off the screen).
To maximize this type of defense, I recommend a big strong DL that allows
absolutely no offensive line push. If you get beat off the ball in this
defense, you are through! You can usually draft a big strong DL who is lower
overall and will never get a sack (except by luck), but at least there is no
room to run. Stay away from blitzing too much in this defense, you already
have 5 DL and you can put in a 6th!
****************************** Punt Return **********************************
Against the computer, just pick regular return unless you suspect a fake.
Against a human opponent, pick punt block. If your opponent chooses not to
use extra blockers, go for the block. Time the snap and rush all out. If your
opponent uses the extra blockers, use an audible to punt return safe (make
sure you have this as an audible, the default is usually R1).
To maximize your punt returns, the number one thing I look for is speed and
ball handling for my returner (I fumble more on punt returns than anytwhere
else). Forget the overall rating of a player, since you are controlling him,
it doesn't matter! Also make sure you put in our best run blocking defensive
players. You'll be surprised how much better your returns are. Sometimes
your worst defensive player is a great special teams blocker. Give those
starters a rest!
****************************** Field Goals **********************************
This is a tough defense! The only time I've ever blocked a field goal is
when I controlled an interior defensive lineman and did a perfect swim
move combination with a jump and a low kick. I've come close a few times by
using the outside rushers, but that leaves you vulnerable to a fake. Use
these plays to practice getting by a OL with your DL.
Defensive Tips
This section contains some of my favorite defensive plays and how to use
them effectively.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 3-4 - OLB Blitz ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 5 (3 DL + 2 OLBs). You'll need to control one of the MLBs
in this defense to protect the middle of the field. You don't really need to
worry about the run because of the rush. I usually shadow the RB or TE
(whoever is in the deeper route). Your safeties should protect against the
long ball.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 3-4 - Double TE ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 4 (3 DL + 1 OLB). This defense is great for stopping
your opponent from throwing to the TE. This defense can be weak against the
run since two of your defenders are occupied by the TE. I suggest controlling
the weak side MLB and shadowing the RB.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 3-4 - Storm ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 6 (3 DL + 2 ILBs + 1 OLB). You can do 2 different things
here. Control the OLB that isn't blitzing and bump the TE off the line or
you can control one of the safeties and play his coverage. I rarely use this
defense, but it makes a good change of pace from the 3-4 Double Man.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 3-4 - Double Man |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 3 (3 DL). I like this defense against the Pro Form or
Near formations. It spreads the defensive coverage out and doesn't give up
the big play because of a blown coverage, someone else is usually in the
area. Control one of the MLB and let him make the first moves (don't press
the control pad). See who he follows and then blanket that guy!
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 4-3 - Whip Man ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 6 (4 DL + 1 OLB + 1 MLB). Do you want a lot of sacks or
some extra pressure? This is a very aggressive defense that can produce! Try
shifting your DL and LBs all over the place. I recommend controlling the SS
to prevent any lucky sweep/toss plays or to defend against the deep ball.
You can't cover everyone with this defense so be prepared for a 3-step drop
and throw. A lot of people like to use bump and run coverage, but I usually
mix it up.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 4-3 - Under Man ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 4 (4 DL). This is a good change of pace from the 4-3
Whip Man. I usually control the MLB and wait to see where he goes before
taking over (don't press the control pad). This is a good defense to use on
1st and 2nd downs since it usually doesn't give up much beacuse of the 2 deep
zone. Watch for motion and don't be afraid to shift to get matchups.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 4-3 - Thunder |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 4 (4 DL). At first I thought this defense was useless.
I found that this defense works well against those 2 TE sets. Control the
MLB and watch the TE that breaks free first. Your OLBs will completely shut
down the flats that most RBs run. This defense also works well against the
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 4-3 - Sam Blitz |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 5 (4 DL + 1 OLB). Make sure you bump the TE or 3rd WR
off the line with your non-blitzing OLB. This play completely stuffs any
strong side RB draw plays. I use this defense in conjunction with the 4-3
Whip Man and the 4-3 Under Man to mix it up and get matchups so I can
maximize pressure.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 4-3 - Man Lock ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 5 (4 DL + 1 OLB). As you can tell, I love the 4-3! It
gets good pressure and stuffs the run. This defense is perfect for those
situations where your opponent lines 2 WR up on the same side of the field.
Your CB will adjust to cover them and you'll even have a safety moving over
there in a zone. I usually control the OLB that starts out over the TE and
try to bump him off the line while protecting against the sweep (the key is
bumping the TE on his outside shoulder in case he tries to block you). You
can even shift your LBs so that you can use your MLB to bump the TE. I have
rarely seen any play with stacked WRs (2 on the same side) ever work
against this defense.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Nickel - LB Blitz |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 5 (4 DL + 1 LB). I like this defense against the
Singleback 3 WR formation. The reason is you can control the LB who isn't
blitzing and bump the TE taking him out of the play. You then have one to one
coverage (CBs on WRs). This allows one of your safeties to watch the running
back and the other to double the deepest WR. If you mix up your shifts well
on the DL and get good matchups, this defense could produce a lot of sacks.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Nickel - Man Lock |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 4 (4 DL). I recommend this defense for those who use
the Nickel LB Blitz, but always seem to get beat by the RB out of the
backfield. This defense only rushes 4, but it frees up that other LB to
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Dime - Man Lock ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 4 (4 DL). I don't usually use Dime unless my opponent
likes to run 5 WR all day. This defense doesn't get much pressure and isn't
that great against the run. Control your best coverage LB to protect the
middle. Good tackling safeties make this defense even better. The only real
threat is the quick out, be sure to tackle immediately!
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Dime - Double WR ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This defense rushes 4 (4 DL). Want to force your opponent to beat you with
his 3rd and 4th WRs? This defense locks your backup CB on the 3rd and 4th
WRs man to man. You don't have to worry much about the #1 and #2 WR. As with
most Dime plays, you'll want to control the MLB and cover either the RB, TE,
or 5th WR depending on which formation your opponent is in. A good rule of
thumb if you don't know who to cover is to not push the control pad until
you see where your LB is headed. You'll learn quickly where your coverage
is for different formations and next time, it will be much better.
Defensive Tips
This section contains my tips for improving your defensive players through
free-agents and draft picks. I highly recommend that you not use this
section and develop your own strategy because this part of the game is the
most fun.
############################## Who to draft??? ##############################
There is a lot of debate on what position to draft first. Should you use your
#1 pick to always get the best CB or fill the positions that you are weakest.
Believe it or not, I say that the LB position is the most important position
on defense and in the game. You can get a variety of specialist LBs to handle
situations and make your defense very tricky. Although CBs are much coveted
in the game of Madden, I've noticed that there isn't much difference between
a 75 overall and an 85 overall CB. There is a huge difference bewteen a 75
overall LB and an 85 overall LB however. A LB with 72 speed might have 7
sacks in a season and 8 passes defenced, while one with 67 speed will only
record 3 sacks and 5 passes defenced. This could be the difference between a
win and loss in more than one game.
So who should you draft? Basically draft what you want. If you'd rather have
that CB who 6'2'' but a bit slower rather than a CB who has blazing speed and
is only 5'9''. I say go for it. Keep in mind that the computer usually drafts
any decent DL and CB in the first and second rounds. After that, just look
for specialist players like a third down pass-rusher, a tank of a man to clog
the middle, or a speedy coverage LB.
Should you make defense your main priority in the draft? In a word, yes!
Defense always seperates the good Madden teams from the bad. Think about it,
on offense you control the player with the ball and you can make up for a
bad player with weak stats. On offense there are really only two things you
can't make up for, one is poor blocking and the other is dropped passes. On
defense, however, you control only one player at a time, some of your players
are sometimes off the screen and sometimes you just get blocked into the
ground. Since most of your defense is computer controlled, you want the best
computer controlled players you can get.
############################ Expensive Free Agents ##########################
Most people buy up all the free agents they can afford and then trade them
for draft picks. I think this ruins the idea of Madden, but if you want to
get high draft choices every year by doing this then go right ahead. Free
agents are a good way to bolster a team quickly while waiting for rookies to
improve. Take a chance a sign an older veteran to a 1 year deal if you have
the extra cash. Sometimes you might run across a younger free agent who is
still improving and has quite a few years left in him.
For me age is the biggest factor in free agency. Always look for good
corners and safties to improve that Nickel and Dime defense. You won't get
many chances to draft a start corner, so free agency is the best bet.
################################## Trades ###################################
Want a higher draft pick? Need some salary cap room without a penalty? How
about trying to get your favorite player? Most of the time I would recommend
only trading to get draft picks or younger impact players. Trading away
players who cost a lot can avoid any salary cap penalties. Usually the
computer will accept trades when you offer 3 players for their 1. Don't make
any quick decisions when making trades. A good general manager will get all
they can out of what they have to work with.
Not to be mean, but I usually trade away veterans who will no longer hold
their starting role and cost way to much to sit the bench.

Jan. 10, 2014 — The Norwegian project "Modelling-assisted Innovation for the Aluminium DC Casting Process" (MINAC), has developed modelling tools that show the impact of even minute adjustments to the casting process on casthouse products.
The aluminium industry is facing three challenges in particular: increasingly complex products, demanding customers and ever more stringent recirculation and recycling requirements. This means that the industry is in need of a predictable and reliable casting process that is not based on trial and error.
The research being carried out in the MINAC project is of interest both for the quality-focused automotive industry, which is striving to develop cars that are lighter and more environment-friendly, and for the construction industry, where the products used must also satisfy stringent requirements.
"Producing aluminium the first time around is a relatively expensive and energy-intensive process. After the initial production, however, aluminium can be re-melted and recycled countless times," Dr Myhr explains.
"The recycling process we are working on is far less costly than the initial production process, largely because the total amount of energy needed for recycling is only five per cent of what was used originally. These savings, combined with more environmentally sustainable processes, make it far more attractive to use recycled aluminium," he points out.
Simulating outcomes
The aluminium casting process entails multiple challenges, caused among other things by impurities and variations in chemical composition in the material to be cast. Both factors can compromise the final product through the formation of cracks, uneven surface quality and more.
For example, if intrusions or overly large particles arise during the casting process, the resulting sheet ingots that are later rolled into aluminium foil may contain weaknesses and tear easily, and the final product may prove defective.
Launched in 2009, the MINAC project builds on researcher-driven expertise from as far back as the early 1970s. The objective has been to create and further refine modelling tools that the aluminium industry can use to simulate the outcomes of choosing certain alloys and casting parameters, thereby increasing processability. Greater predictability in the casting process reduces the occurrence of casting defects which otherwise result in large additional costs. Another increasingly important area of application for the simulation tools developed under the MINAC project include the certification of new alloys for high-demand customers in the transport and construction sectors.
Modelling modules already in use
The lineup of participants in the MINAC project reveals the keen interest displayed by aluminium producers in the development of simulation tools. Industrial partners in the project include Hydro Aluminium, Alcoa and Aleris. These three actors, competitors in several areas, have come together to form a forward-looking consortium that will continue even after the MINAC project's lifetime.
Other key partners include the Research Council of Norway's Programme for User-driven Research-based Innovation (BIA), SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE). The BIA programme has provided vital funding to the project while the specialist knowledge of IFE and SINTEF Materials and Chemistry in the development of advanced models has been pivotal in making the project so successful.
"The MINAC project was concluded in the summer of 2013, having achieved most of what we had set out to do. It is particularly satisfying to see one of the most important objectives fulfilled -- developing an entirely new model capable of solving the problem of variations in the chemical composition through the cast product," explains Dr Myhr.
"In addition, we have further developed modules designed to help to reduce the risk of casting defects during production and to tailor microstructure formation during casting and the heat treatment that follows. All new modules have been adopted and implemented by the industrial partners after the development and testing carried out during the project," states Dr Kjerstin Ellingsen, Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF Materials and Chemistry.
"Designing models of this type is a protracted, demanding effort. In this context, a long-term, stable funding partner like the Research Council is invaluable," say Ole Runar Myhr from Hydro and Kjerstin Ellingsen from SINTEF Materials and Chemistry.
No more trial and error
Dr Ellingsen and Dr Myhr are both enthusiastic about the potential of these models to enhance the competitiveness of the Norwegian aluminium industry. In the global market, companies such as Hydro Aluminium and Alcoa are often competing against producers of aluminium in countries where the material can be produced at a much lower cost. Dr Myhr explains that none of Hydro Aluminium's rivals have such advanced models at their disposal.
"It is simply amazing to be able to know ahead of time how fast the casting process can be carried out without any defects arising, or that it is possible to predict that adding a certain amount of a different element to an alloy can increase its strength by, for example, ten per cent," Dr Myhr says.
"We can also render a product with a sounder sub-surface structure by adjusting the casting parameters or chemical composition. Even if the method can not predict an outcome with complete accuracy, the models provide a very reliable indication of how casting defects arise and how to avoid them. In other words, this is a tremendous advance over learning by trial and error," he adds.
Promise in combining models
Once the aluminium industry has improved the casting process so that aluminium parts can be produced faster, in the correct shape, with fewer defects and thus more uniformly, the results will be of great significance to the array of increasingly discerning customers. Developing alloys for new products also boosts competitiveness significantly. Even minor improvements in the casting process can have an enormous impact. For one, the use of modelling tools makes it possible to reduce the amount of time needed to certify new alloys for use in the automotive industry.
Another important objective of the MINAC project has been to make the models as user-friendly as possible. Dr Ellingsen from SINTEF Materials and Chemistry explains that the models in question are very data-intensive and that it previously took up to several days to carry out a new calculation. Not only has the process become quicker, it is also possible to carry out more complicated calculations.
"This is an area that requires further work, both to improve the models in terms of computational speed and to enable them to deal with a more complex range of metallurgy and physics problems. The potential for combining these models with other models further down in the value chain is very promising," Kjerstin Ellingsen concludes.

(Phoenix, Ariz. - April 19, 2007) Attorney General Terry Goddard and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Director Steve Owens announced today that ASARCO, Inc. will pay a $77,500 penalty under a consent judgment with ADEQ for air quality violations in Gila County.
In September 2005, ADEQ inspectors discovered that loose tailing dust had collected throughout the mine's tailing pond area and witnessed dust emissions from the Hayden Mill facility, a violation of ASARCO's air quality permit. ADEQ issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to ASARCO in October 2005, which required the company to keep the tailing pond area damp or encrusted to minimize dust emissions. Under the NOV, ASARCO has applied a dust suppressant designed to control future dust problems at the site.
The ASARCO-Hayden Mill facility mainly produces copper with some production of sulfuric acid for use in the mineral extraction process. This settlement resolves the dust violations at the facility from 2005 and 2006. The dust emissions caused an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter in January 2006.
"Production of dust from the mine site can cause respiratory and other health problems," Goddard said. "ASARCO and other dust emitting industries are required to maintain these types of tailing ponds to protect Arizonans' health and welfare. When they don't, they must face the consequences."
"ASARCO must operate its facility in accordance with the law and ensure that its tailings do not become airborne and present a risk for citizens who live near this facility," Owens said.
The consent judgment is subject to court approval.

Top This: Momed's Etli Pide
Learn how to work a new topping onto your pies.
GalleryTop This: Momed's Etli Pide
On the streets of Istanbul, Alex Sarkissian and Chef Matt Carpenter discovered the irresistible Etli Pide. This Turkish street food is practically non-existent in the US. Captivated by the tender dough encasing a mixture of beef and cheese with an egg cracked on top, they brought it to their Beverly Hills Eastern Mediterranean restaurant, Momed. Serving modern Mediterranean since 2010, Momed draws on the intense passion, freshness and cultivated comprehension of spices from the region.
Chef Carpenter keeps the Etli Pide true to tradition, an effort that is rewarded with growing support from the local Middle Eastern community who recognize the flavors of home in his cooking. Momed is careful to distinguish their pides from pizzas, but it contains many elements we all know and love. The stuffed Turkish bread resembles an open-faced calzone brimming with seasoned minced beef, kasseri cheese, organic farm egg, and thyme-spiked, oven-roasted tomatoes. The tomatoes are the chef's welcomed contribution to this dish —roasted down to their sweet essence, yet still juicy, they add gratifying 'mmmmm' moments throughout the slices.
What you'll need for one pide:
- 1 portion of dough
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup kasseri cheese*
- 1/4 cup akawi cheese**
- Aleppo pepper***
Seasoned Beef
- 5 lb ground chuck
- 1 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 1 red Fresno chili, seeded fine chopped
- 1 jalepeno, seeded fine chopped
- 2 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp cumin, ground
- 1 bunch cilantro, minced
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Oven dried tomato
- 4 roma tomato
- salt
- pepper
- 1 garlic, minced
- chopped parsley
- fresh thyme
*A mix of provolone and mozzarella can be substituted **This wonderful brined cheese is worth seeking out, but halloumi can be substituted. ***Having trouble finding Aleppo pepper... sucks for you.Here is a suitable substitution.

From President Barack Obama's new outline for reforming immigration, here's a key difference between the President's plan and the bipartisan Senate coalition's plan.
Under the Senate's plan, undocumented immigrants would not be eligible for a path to full citizenship until certain conditions are met or "triggers" are reached on border security.
Under Obama's plan, however, there are no preconditions on border security attached.
It could be a dealbreaker with Republicans. Sen. Marco Rubio said on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh's show today that he wouldn't support any immigration reform deal without border security triggers.
However, the two proposals are similar in that they require undocumented immigrants to register with the government, pass background checks, and pay fees and back taxes before being eligible for citizenship.
Here's Obama's full plan on how an illegal immigrant would go about gaining citizenship:
• Create a provisional legal status. Undocumented immigrants must come forward and register, submit biometric data, pass criminal background and national security checks, and pay fees and penalties before they will be eligible for a provisional legal status. Agricultural workers and those who entered the United States as children would be eligible for the same program. Individuals must wait until the existing legal immigration backlogs are cleared before getting in line to apply for lawful permanent residency (i.e. a "green card"), and ultimately United States citizenship. Consistent with current law, people with provisional legal status will not be eligible for welfare or other federal benefits, including subsidies or tax credits under the new health care law.
• Create strict requirements to qualify for lawful permanent resident status. Those applying for green cards must pay their taxes, pass additional criminal background and national security checks, register for Selective Service (where applicable), pay additional fees and penalties, and learn English and U.S. civics. As under current law, five years after receiving a green card, individuals will be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship like every other legal permanent resident.
• Earned citizenship for DREAMers. Children brought here illegally through no fault of their own by their parents will be eligible for earned citizenship. By going to college or serving honorably in the Armed Forces for at least two years, these children should be given an expedited opportunity to earn their citizenship. The President's proposal brings these undocumented immigrants out of the shadows.
• Create administrative and judicial review. An individual whose provisional lawful status has been revoked or denied, or whose application for adjustment has been denied, will have the opportunity to seek administrative and judicial review of those decisions.
• Provide new resources to combat fraud. The President's proposal authorizes funding to enable DHS, the Department of State, and other relevant federal agencies to establish fraud prevention programs that will provide training for adjudicators, allow regular audits of applications to identify patterns of fraud and abuse, and incorporate other proven fraud prevention measures.

SX9373 : Floodlights at the Fore Street bridge site
taken 7 years ago, near to Teignmouth, Devon, Great Britain
Fore Street bridge, Teignmouth
Fore Street bridge, once a principal route over the railway and into the town, has carried local traffic since the realignment of the A379 in the late 1980s. Consulting engineers for Network Rail, Arup, had identified unacceptable weakness in the girders supporting the carriageway together with overloading in the parapet girders. The only solution was to dismantle the bridge (which may date from the time Brunel's GWR was scythed through the town) and install a new, stronger one. The major part of the work was carried out over the weekend of 18-19 February 2012 in a highly organised operation.
Information taken from Network Rail's Prior Approval Application to Teignbridge District Council, TCP 10/049, 20 December 2011, with thanks.

OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks the 35th meeting between McDaniel (4-2, 3-2 CC) and No. 24 Ursinus (6-0, 5-0 CC) in a series that dates back to 1976. The Bears have won the last four meetings but the Green Terror leads the all-time series, 24-8-1.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Teddy Conrad and Travis Evans each ran for 133 yards as part of a 276-yard rushing attack in Ursinus' 48-13 CC win over McDaniel last season. The Bears finished with 482 yards of total offense and limited the Green Terror to 25 yards rushing and 263 yards of total offense in front of a rain-soaked Homecoming crowd. Matt Cahill (Broomall, Pa./Haverford Twp.) led the McDaniel offense, catching a career-high nine balls for a career-best 140 yards and both Green Terror scores.
LAST TIME OUT: Terrence Dandridge notched his fourth straight 100-yard rushing day with 140 yards to lead Muhlenberg to a 29-0 CC victory over McDaniel last week. Michael Katz converted three field goals of 40-plus yards for the Mules, who won their fifth straight game to remain perfect in the conference. The Green Terror was able to only muster a season-low 143 yards of total offense, including abysmal 22 yards on 20 rushes, in its first shutout loss in two seasons. Tom Massucci (Seneca, N.J./Tabernacle) completed 19 of 39 passes for 121 yards.
WITH HONORS: Zach Martin (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) and Jake Nichols (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) earned spots on their respective CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week. Martin earned the defensive nod after leading the way with nine tackles, including his first career sack. He also had a pass breakup. Nichols was named to the special teams ledger after punting for a career-high 10 times for an average of 38.9 yards per kick.
LEADING THE WAY: Matt Cahill, Chris Kolb (Keymar, Md./Francis Scott Key) and Aaron Slaughter (Baltimore, Md./Loyola) will captain the squad in 2010. The three captains are the fewest named by the Green Terror since 2007 when it was just Brad Baer and Ryan Mellinger guiding the team. Cahill and Slaughter become the first three-time captains in the history of the program. Kolb will join his senior teammates as a first-time captain.
DEFENSIVE STRUGGLES: In its two losses this season, the Green Terror defense has been torched for nearly triple the number of points it has allowed in the four wins combined. Three weeks after dripping a 41-16 decision to Dickinson, McDaniel dropped a 29-0 decision to Muhlenberg and has now dropped its last seven games when allowing 21 or more points. In fact over the last five seasons, the Green Terror has won just once when an opponent has reached the 21-point mark. The only occasion in the 27 times it has happened since the beginning of the 2006 season was a 52-37 victory over St. Vincent in last year's opener.
RUNNING OUT OF ROOM: Last Saturday, the Green Terror was limited to a season-low 22 yards rushing. It marked the fewest yards on the ground for McDaniel since Johns Hopkins held the team to minus-35 in the 2006 finale. Scott S. Bair Stadium has not been a friendly place for the Green Terror ground game this season. The squad is averaging just 66.0 yards per game on the ground and that includes a season-best 160-yard performance two weeks ago against Susquehanna. In the other three home games this year, the team has a total of 104 yards. The road has been a little kinder to the running game with 85 and 82 yards at Juniata and at Catholic, respectively. The team is averaging a mere 2.1 yards per rush attempt overall and is last in the conference in rushing (71.8 yards per game).
THIRD AND NONE: Since the bye week, McDaniel has had great difficulties converting on third down. A week after going 0-for-11, the Green Terror did not covert a first down until its second possession of the third quarter, stretching its ineffectiveness on third down to 19 straight third downs without a first-down conversion. McDaniel finished the game on Saturday 2-for-17 on third down. In the last two games, the offense is converting at a 7.1 percent clip to lower its season rate to 23.5 percent (23-for-98).
A BUSY MAN: For the first time in his career, Jake Nichols punted the ball 10 times last Saturday. He averaged 38.9 yards on the 10 kicks. It marked the first time in two seasons that a Green Terror punter had as many kicks. Travis Wenrich also punted 10 times but averaged just 34.3 on his attempts the last time McDaniel hosted Muhlenberg, which was ranked fifth in the Division III at the time (Oct. 18, 2008).
PICK SIX: Senior CB Chris Kolb made his conference-leading sixth interception on Saturday to match the total from his first two seasons on the Hill. In addition to leading the conference at 1.00 interceptions per game, he ranks tied for fourth in Division III.
MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT: Since starting the season with five interceptions – including four in Week Two against Moravian – and no touchdown passes in the first two games, Tom Massucci has thrown eight scoring tosses and no picks over the last four games. The junior signal caller has now gone 122 attempts without throwing an interception for the longest such stretch of his career by a lot. His previous longest stretch without a throwing a pick was 53 attempts last year. The stretch is the third longest in program history behind Brad Baer (162) and Brian Van Deusen (138). Massucci is 67-for-122 over his last four games. As a team, the Green Terror has gone 143 passes without an interception, completing 78 of those attempts.
SHOOTING BLANKS: For the first time in 18 games, the Green Terror failed to score. Prior to Saturday's 29-0 home loss, the last time McDaniel was shut out by an opponent was Nov. 1, 2008 at Franklin & Marshall. The 29-0 loss was the most lopsided shutout loss since falling 43-0 at Muhlenberg in 2007 and first time the Green Terror was blanked at home since the 2006 opener when it fell to Bridgewater, 41-0.
CATCHING ON: With a one-yard reception in the second quarter on Saturday, senior WR Matt Cahill has now caught a pass in 20 straight games, dating back to a Sept. 13, 2008 against Moravian – one of just three games in which he has played without a reception. Cahill has played in 40 games during his time at McDaniel and is currently tied for second on the career reception list with 135. He needs 10 catches over the final four games of the season to join Teron Powell (1998-2001) atop the list.
CAN'T DRIVE 180: The Green Terror offense had the ball for 14 drives last Saturday against Muhlenberg. On none of those occasions was McDaniel able to hold on to the ball for even 180 seconds. All 14 of the offensive possessions ended in 2 minutes, 57 seconds or fewer from the time the Green Terror took over. The team had nine three-and-out possessions – only two of which took more than a minute and a half off the clock.
ISN'T IT SPECIAL: One of the aspects of McDaniel's game this season that has been a positive constant has been its punt coverage unit. The Green Terror leads the CC in net punting at 33.6 yards per kick. It all starts with junior P Jake Nichols, who leads the league with a 39.4-yard-per-punt average. The coverage unit has allowed only three returns of more than 10 yards. Nichols has forced an opposing return man to fair catch 12 of his 43 boots. In addition, five more punts have been downed, eight have gone into the end zone for touchbacks and two have rolled out of bounds, leaving only 16 returnable punts.
SCORING 100: For the first time in nine games, the Green Terror defense allowed an opposing running back to rush for at least 100 yards. Muhlenberg's Terrence Dandridge rolled up his fourth straight 100-yard rushing performance with a career-best 140 yards. The last opponent to have a player rush for at least 100 yards was Ursinus, which had both Travis Evans and Teddy Conrad run for 133 yards, last year. The 140 yards was the most by any single rusher against the McDaniel defense since Catholic's Rich Barry ran for 142 on Sept. 19, 2009.
TERROR TIDBITS: Today is the first of three straight Homecoming games in which the Green Terror will play. After being a part of Ursinus' Homecoming today, McDaniel will play in front of the Franklin & Marshall's alums next week before returning to Bair Stadium in two weeks for its own Homecoming on the Hill… Today is the Green Terror's first road game in 35 days. The last time McDaniel was away from its home field was Sept. 18 at Catholic… The 143 yards of total offense last week was the Green Terror's fewest since posting just 113 on Sept. 13, 2008 against Moravian.
COACHES' CORNER: Tim Keating is in his 18th season at the helm of the Green Terror. His 107 victories are the most by any McDaniel coach. Keating enters this week with record of 107-72-3, guiding the program to seven CC championships and a pair of NCAA playoff wins. Before coming to the Hill, Keating notched a 26-23 record in five seasons at Wesley… Peter Gallagher is in his 10th season at Ursinus. He has posted a 46-52 mark at the helm of the Bears, including a 6-4 record in his first season (2001), marking the first time an Ursinus coach registered a winning season in his first year. In 2006, Gallagher added offensive coordinator to his duties and recorded the most successful campaign in his tenure at 8-3. Prior to his arrival in Collegeville, he served as the defensive coordinator at the University of Rochester in addition to successful stints at Dartmouth, Wagner and Georgetown.
THE WORD ON URSINUS: The Bears enter today's game off a 26-17 win over reigning CC champion Johns Hopkins last Saturday… Freshman Bryan Ellis rushed for a career-high 138 yards in Saturday's win. Ellis now leads the CC in rushing at 92.7 yards per game… Ursinus received the No. 24 ranking in both the d3football.com and American Football Coaches Association poll this week to garner its first top-25 ranking in program history… The Bears lead the conference in scoring defense, allowing just 13.8 points per game despite winning a 49-39 shootout with Gettysburg on Oct. 2. Ursinus has not allowed more than 17 points in any of its other five games and have allowed seven or fewer three times. The defense has allowed just two touchdowns in its three home games this season. Nine of the Blue Jays' 17 points came on a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown and safety… The Bears are allowing just 231.5 yards per game, including a mere 60.5 yards per game on the ground, to pace the conference in both categories… Ursinus leads the CC in turnover margin at plus-8 as well as opponent third- and fourth-down conversions at 18.7 percent (14-for-75) and 23.1 percent (3-for-13), respectively. The defense is also tops in opponents first downs (68)… Justin Decristofaro has thrown for 1,150 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, completing 93 of 163 attempts… Nick Giarratano has been Decristofaro's favorite target this year, hauling in 25 passes for 344 yards. He has caught eight touchdown passes and is three shy of tying the program record with 19 career scoring receptions. He also needs just three yards to reach 1,000 for his career. Giarratano's eight touchdowns are tops in the conference. He paces the CC in scoring at 8.0 points per game… Chris Roundtree ranks second in the CC with five interceptions and is tied with the Green Terror's Chris Kolb for the conference lead in passes defended with 14… Greg Martell paces the defense with 35 tackles, including 5.5 for loss… The Bears are 6-0 for just the fourth time in program history.

Are you looking to lose weight? Well, did you know that there are actually supplements for weight loss? But do your research before making a purchase as the FDA count weight loss supplements as foods rather than drugs so there are less restrictions on them. It also means that supplements can be released before they are proven to be safe. And some of them actually had prescription drugs in them without labeling them. So we recommend asking for your doctor's opinion as well as doing research before trying weight loss supplements. Losing weight has so many health benefits which include better looking skin, reduced risk of heart disease, feeling more confident, having more energy, able to do physical activities you couldn't before, and much much more!
Here are some of the common ingredients found in some of the weight loss supplements available today.
Chitosan is the sugar that comes from the hard outer layer of crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Chitosan is meant to stop our bodies from absorbing fats and cholesterol. However, results have varied significantly! Some research has shown great results whereas other research has shown little to no benefit of taking Chitosan. There are no known side effects of Chitosan, however, some have reported an upset stomach after taking it.
Chromium Picolinate
Chromium is thought to increase the effectiveness of your metabolism as it is a mineral that enhances insulin. And insulin is a hormone which is critical to our metabolism. Chromium is thought to lower your appetite, cut body fat, and help burn more calories. But again, the results are mixed when you look at studies. And the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database says that chromium is "possibly ineffective" for weight loss. And what's worse is that it does have side effects in some people which includes insomnia, headaches, and / or irritability. Although these side effects are rare, they do happen from time to time. For those who suffer from kidney or liver issues, they should definitely stay away from Chromium as it could further exacerbate the issues.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
CLA is one of the more popular supplement ingredients around. It contains chemicals which are found in linoleic acid (fatty acid). And there is research that shows it can actually help you stay fuller for longer and therefore, help you lose weight. However, there is also research saying that it basically does nothing. So the jury is out on this one too. And in some cases there have been reported side effects such as nausea, upset stomach, and possible diarrhea.

Oral Osteoporosis Drugs (bisphosphonates): Drug Safety Communication - Potential Increased Risk of Esophageal Cancer
Audience: Geriatrics, Family Practice, Internal Medicine
Includes: Fosamax (alendronate), Actonel (risedronate), Boniva (ibandronate), Atelvia (risedronate delayed release), Didronel (etidronate), and Skelid (tiludronate)
ISSUE: FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients about its ongoing review of data from published studies to evaluate whether use of oral bisphosphonate drugs is associated with an increased risk of cancer of the esophagus. FDA has not concluded that taking an oral bisphosphonate drug increases the risk of esophageal cancer. There are insufficient data to recommend endoscopic screening of asymptomatic patients. FDA will continue to evaluate all available data supporting the safety and effectiveness of bisphosphonate drugs and will update the public when more information becomes available.
BACKGROUND: Oral bisphosphonates are commonly used for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis as well as to treat other bone diseases such as Paget's disease. There have been conflicting findings from studies evaluating the risk of esophageal cancer. Esophagitis and other esophageal events have been reported, particularly in patients who do not follow the specific directions for use of oral bisphosphonates. See the Data Summary in the Drug Safety Communication for additional details.
RECOMMENDATION: Patients should talk with their healthcare professional about the benefits and risks of taking oral bisphosphonates and how long they should expect to take them. Patients should talk with their healthcare professional if they develop swallowing difficulties, chest pain, new or worsening heartburn, or have trouble or pain when swallowing. Patients should be instructed to carefully follow the directions for use of the oral bisphosphonate drug they are prescribed.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
- Complete and submit the report Online: www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/index.cfm
- Download form or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178

Wineries-Entertainment near Louisa, VA
Louisa County is situated right in the heart of Virginia wine country, and several successful local wineries are earning names for themselves. With four area wineries, Louisa County is becoming a must-stop on any regional wine experience tour.
Weston Farm Winery
Named for the original farm where it's located, Weston Farm Vineyard and Winery is Louisa County's newest winery. And it's a family affair.
Peggy and Bobby Martin decided to venture into the wine business after retiring from their previous jobs. In 2005, the couple jumped into the grape business by planting 4,600 vines on the property, located off Harris Creek Road, just outside of the Town of Louisa. They followed up with 550 more vines in 2006 and 800 more in 2010.
As they developed their business in a five-year span, Bobby built the tasting room, a picnic shelter and the winery building. He also completed renovations on the couple's 218-year-old home, which is located on the same property.
The couple designed their own labels for the five varieties of wine offered at Weston Farm–chardonnay, rose, rosso, cabernet franc and norton. The labels feature drawings of the couple's French bulldogs Charlie and Suzie.
The winery is off to a fast start, earning several awards in its first years and becoming a regular site for events, with many that benefit local charities, including the Louisa Humane Society and St. Rocco's Hounds.
For more information, visit westonfarmvineyardandwinery.webs.com/
Cooper Vineyards
With its LEED Gold-certified tasting room completed, Cooper Vineyards is stepping out as the leader in green wine tasting.
Situated on Shannon Hill Road, Cooper Vineyards was opened in 1999 by retired physicians Geoff Cooper and Jacque Hogge.
Showcasing its chocolate wine, Noche, in addition to numerous other award-winning wines by Cooper Vineyards, the Louisa winery prides itself on using only Virginia-grown grapes.
Throughout the year, the winery also hosts several public events, including Jazz and Chocolate, a Mini Cooper rally and an annual adoption event known as Lucy's Weekend.
For more information on Cooper Vineyards visit www.coopervineyards.com.
Lake Anna Winery
Lake Anna Winery began as a notion on a local businessman's trip to France, but has since become a family owned and operated company passed on for generations.
Currently run by Jeff and Eric Heidig, sons of Bill and Ann, founders of the vineyard, Lake Anna Winery boasts a production of more than 6,000 cases per year.
The site is also a picturesque event location, available for weddings, receptions, corporate events and private gatherings. Lake Anna Winery also hosts a number of community events, many of which benefit charitable causes. The Virginia Renaissance Faire also uses the winery as its home for six weeks in the late spring/early summer.
Located in Spotsylvania County on Courthouse Road, not far from Lake Anna State Park, Lake Anna Winery has received numerous awards over the years for its unique blends, including the Bell Haven Cabernet Franc.
Wine enthusiasts can taste a variety of the vineyard's selection at any time with an order-by-the-bottle option on the company's website, www.lawinery.com.
Grayhaven Winery
One of the oldest independent commercial vineyards in Virginia is the Grayhaven Winery located in Gum Spring. The vineyard was founded as a retirement venture in 1978 by Lyn and Chuck Peple with the help of their daughters Jane and Max.
Three generations later, the family has expanded into a winery, launched in 1995. Guests can enjoy hand-crafted wine and local scenery at the family owned and operated business.
Grayhaven also offers visitors a playground and wide open space as well as pet-friendly amenities.
The winery hosts several events throughout the year, including Blues in the Vineyard and its largest event, the South African Food and Wine Festival. It also accommodates weddings and receptions.

Dear to the heart of all Christians is their conviction that Jesus is the Son of God and Redeemer of the world.
Dear to the heart of all Christians is their conviction that Jesus is the Son of God and Redeemer of the world.
This conviction is expressed as a witness or testimony. It is a sublime gift from God directly to the mind and heart. It is as certain as if we personally felt the wounds in His hands and side. I wonder if Thomas felt the Savior's beating heart as he felt the wound in His side.
A testimony is the "spirit of prophecy." (Revelation 19:10) It comes by faith and repentance, by prayer and fasting, by scripture study, by living the commandments and serving one another. It may come suddenly or a little at a time.
My church, like most Christians, believes in the literal reality of the Bible. Jesus is Jehovah of the Old Testament and Lord of the New. He was born of the Virgin Mary. He was a poor laborer, just like most of God's children. He turned water into wine and He can change us from commoners to saints.
He restored sight to the blind and healed the lame, and he heals our blind and broken hearts.
He cast out devils and He purifies us.
He walked on stormy waters and He can save us from sinking into the chaos of sin. And if we begin to sink, calling out to Him brings immediately an outstretched arm and saving hand.
He rebuked wind and waves with three simple words: "Peace, be still." Likewise, He can and will bring peace to a troubled world.
He raised Lazarus from the dead and promises to give us eternal life. He died on the cross and pays for our sins if we come unto Him.
He rose from the dead, becoming the first fruits of the resurrection for all God's children. He lives, from all eternity to all eternity. He will come again!
He is the Light and Life of the world.
A testimony of Christ urges us to share His Gospel. It makes our lives happier. It builds strong family relationships. It makes communities, cities, nations and the world a better place to live and raise our children.
Our faith is tested by the trials of life. If we are faithful, we grow in the Gospel of Christ. We learn patience. We love Him more. His way becomes empowering and liberating. We come to understand a tiny portion of what He endured for us. We become more empathetic to the trials others endure, and we naturally desire to bear one another's burdens, to mourn with those who mourn and help those who stand in need of help.

In addition, the training at the centre will be made available to technicians from Siemens' wind power customers.
The centre is kitted out with two full-size nacelles, three 30-foot towers, hydraulic modules, and a service crane for use during the training.
"As more wind energy projects come online in the US and across the region, highly skilled technicians will be needed to provide the long-term service and maintenance required to help insure the turbines operate at peak production, availability and reliability levels," the company said in a statement.

Carly 2
I loved getting to work with this creative soul again! Carly and I did her first senior session back in the fall when she wanted urban chic. For this spring session, she wanted a more natural, Colorado vibe so of course we headed up to Boulder to capture her in the mountains! Much to our dismay our "spring" vibe was blown by all the snow. Crazy Colorado! But Carly was a trooper and posed on...you'd never guess she was absolutely FREEZING in these photos. I hope these images capture your free spirit and artists heart. You are a blessing and a delight to work with! Good luck in all you do.Read More

Meet Diana Argabrite, Employee of the Month
Diana Argabrite is an important part of why De Anza College continues to provide a thriving environment for visual arts, says nominator Paula Ahrens of the Community Education department.
"Diana always goes above and beyond to accommodate her staff, her artists and the students," she says, adding that Argabrite's widely varied skills, whether resolving student problems, substituting for art professors or answering parents' questions, have made her an irreplaceable asset to her own department and other areas.
In her 19 years with the Euphrat Museum of Art at De Anza College, Argabrite has worked to develop the Arts & Schools Program and many other branches of artistic community enrichment and cooperation. She oversees a variety of community outreach projects and museum business. "I consider the Euphrat a college and community treasure," she says, citing opportunities such as internships for student artists, available through the museum.
Argabrite has earned numerous awards and distinctions from outside organizations for her art and her work at De Anza College, including the CREST Award from the City of Cupertino for significant volunteer contributions and two California Arts Council Artist-in-Residence grants.
"Diana has worked miracles over the years, and it is time she is recognized for her dedication, outstanding performance and diligence in meeting the needs of her students, staff and faculty with grace and humility," says Ahrens. "She is simply a pleasure to work with and the very best at what she does."

Delivery Drones Could Be Skyjackers' Heaven
Dec 4, 2013 4:04 PM PT
Following news that Amazon plans to use unmanned drones for rapid delivery of goods to customers, security researcher Samy Kamkar has developed a way to skyjack drones.
The hack may resonate with many Americans, who are concerned about the increasing use of drones by law enforcement to conduct surveillance on citizens within the United States' borders.
Kamkar's attack employs a Parrot AR Drone 2, various components, and a Perl application he wrote called, appropriately, "SkyJack", for about US$400.
SkyJack "is likely extendable to any other drones which are controlled similarly with little or no protection," Kamkar told TechNewsWorld. "Once I have access to other drones, I'll be inspecting their security to determine whether there are any other exploitable, and equally entertaining, issues."
What Kamkar Hath Wrought
Hardware for Kamkar's creation consists of the Parrot drone, a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, an Alfa AWUS036H wireless card and an Edimax EW-7811Un wireless USB adapter.
Kamkar uses a USB to power the Raspberry Pi+. Any USB battery weighing less than 100 gm and outputting close to 1 amp (1000mAh) will do, although users could hook up three AAA batteries to get about 4.5V.
The software consists of SkyJack, the Aircrack-NG wireless keys cracking program, the Aireplay-ng software used to inject frames, and node-ar-drone -- a node.js client for controlling Parrot AR Drone 2.0 devices.
SkyJack runs on Linux. It is available as a FOSS product.
How Drones Are Hijacked
Kamkar accomplishes the hijack by seeking out wireless connections for drones from MAC addresses owned by the Parrot company. These are defined in the firm's IEEE Registration Authority Organizationally Unique Identifier, or company ID.
He uses Aircrack-NG to search for Parrot drones and drone owners within WiFi range, then deauthenticates the owner by injecting WiFi packets into a drone's connection through aireplay-ng over the Alfa AWUS036H, which supports raw packet injection and monitor mode.
Kamkar then connects to the drone as its owner using node-ar-drone.
Parrot drones launch their own open wireless networks to facilitate the takeover.
Drones from Parrot can be controlled by mobile or tablet OSes. The Edimax EW-7811Un lets SkyJack launch its own network so users can control drones from their Linux laptops or from iPads.
Drone-Driven Angst in America
The use of drones is an emotional hot button for many Americans.
President Obama in February signed into law the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2011, which calls for the integration of drones into the national airspace system by 2015, sparking protests from civil liberties and privacy proponents.
In June, FBI director Robert Mueller admitted to using surveillance drones in U.S. airspace. Further, some local law enforcement agencies are reported have used drones for warrantless surveillance.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has launched a $4 million Air-based Technologies Program to push the adoption of unmanned drones by law enforcement.
In reaction to these developments, Congress is looking into laws to protect privacy.
The town of Deer Trail in Colorado has looked into issuing licenses to shoot down drones.
Are Our Military Drones Safe?
It's not clear whether U.S. military drones, which are used to target terrorists abroad, could be threatened by Kamkar's activities.
"SkyJack is currently only built for consumer drones, and it's extremely unlikely the military is using the same drones or same protocols," Kamkar said. "However, it's always possible that military drones are exploitable, and it's important that security researchers can scrutinize these before more malicious people do."
Even civilian drones may not be affected by skyjacking attempts, Michael Morgan, a senior analyst at ABI Research, told TechNewsWorld, as "GPS features that get the drones to return to base if something goes wrong are semistandard in consumer drones now."

Plenty of Titans fans complained when we lumped the Houston Oilers in with the Tennessee Mt. Rushmore. They think the all-time great Oilers stayed in Houston, and that the Texans should inherit them for the purposes of figuring out the best four.
We'd agree — if the franchise known as the Oilers hadn't moved to Tennessee and remained the Oilers for several years before becoming the Titans.
So Houston gets the Texans, and the Texans only.
Which means that it's time for Houstonians to nominate their favorite Texans for the team's Mt. Rushmore, based on only 11 years in league.
Andre Johnson gets the front corner. We'll let you figure out the rest of them.

|Associate Athletics Director for Compliance
|1st Year
A-State alumnus Joel Weems was named Associate Athletics Director for Compliance on January 29, 2013 by Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir.
Weems brings over 10 years of NCAA compliance experience with him to Arkansas State, most recently serving as the Assistant Athletics Director of Compliance at Mercer University. Weems joined Mercer in August of 2011 and oversaw all its compliance operations, including amateurism issues, recruiting, eligibility, financial aid, benefits and playing and practice seasons under the guidelines of the NCAA, Atlantic Sun Conference and the University.
"We are excited to have someone with Joel's experience and knowledge of NCAA rules and legislation leading our compliance department," said Mohajir. "Joel has an outstanding background in this vital area and, as an ASU alumnus and Arkansan, he is already very familiar with our University.
"This is another step to strengthen the athletics department by hiring experienced and seasoned athletics administrators," continued Mohajir.
Prior to Mercer, Weems worked at the University of Mississippi from 2002-11 as Compliance Coordinator. During his time with the Rebels, Weems served as second in command in their Office of Athletic Compliance. He was largely responsible for monitoring of compliance with NCAA, Southeastern Conference and Ole Miss rules, policies and protocol.
"My family and I are extremely excited to return to Arkansas State University and the Jonesboro community," Weems said. "As a proud alumnus of the University, I look forward to assisting Arkansas State Athletics in its compliance efforts."
Weems also worked as a sports information intern from 1995-97 and as an office assistant in the ticket department during the summer of 1996 at Ole Miss before accepting a full-time position in the school's compliance department.
A Marion, Ark. native, Weems graduated from Arkansas State University with his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1993. Weems also earned his Master of Education in History Education in 1995 from Delta State University. He is a member of the National Association for Athletics Compliance and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of America.
Weems is married to the former Dabney Dykes of Baton Rouge, La., and they have one daughter, Layton (3).

Disturbing news out of Wimbledon today: a hawk named Rufus, who has been used to scare away pigeons and other small, distracting birds from the courts at the All England Club, was stolen early Friday morning. He was in his cage, in a car parked on a private driveway in Wimbledon. The car's rear window was left open for ventilation purposes and may have aided in the heist. Rufus is an American species of hawk so his disappearance might have been expected.
While he does not attack the pigeons, he has been trained to circle around the stadium to scare them off. His talents do not end there, however.
He even has his own Twitter account, but has not tweeted for a day.
His last tweet was before Rafael Nadal's shock exit from the tournament, when he said: 'Murray is through, Rafa is down 2-1 (!), Ward played brilliantly but lost to Mardy Fish, and Italy are beating Germany 1-0!'
If only he had geotagging enabled, investigators might have had a better lead on his whereabouts.

Full-Time SCALE J.D./M.B.A.
Students in the SCALE J.D./M.B.A. program will spend their first year at Southwestern in Los Angeles, their second year at The Drucker School in Claremont and their third taking courses from both schools. The course requirements of the two degrees are satisfied by units that are cross applied and by specially-designed externships and joint courses that incorporate classroom instruction in law and management with hands-on skills training.
During the summers of both the first and second years of the program, students have significant flexibility in tailoring their curriculum to their individual interests. They may choose to acquire practical experience by working for compensation and taking evening or weekend elective courses; pursue a full- or part-time externship; or study abroad in an ABA-approved Summer Law Program, including one of Southwestern's programs in Buenos Aires, London or in Drucker's summer business program at Oxford.
Degree Requirements
Under the J.D./M.B.A. program, up to 16 units may be cross-applied between Southwestern and Drucker. Additionally, new courses to be team-taught by Southwestern and Drucker faculty, along with special joint externships, offer students in this three-year program an integrated law and business curriculum as well as hands-on training. These joint offerings count toward the total units required for both the JD and MBA degrees (87 units required for the J.D. and 60 units required for the M.B.A.); students otherwise complete the separate requirements for each degree.
Southwestern and The Drucker and Graduate School of Management have expanded their cooperative concurrent-degree program offerings to include an exciting three-year J.D./M.B.A. option. The new program is one of only a few at law schools nationwide and the first on the West Coast to offer students the opportunity to earn both degrees in just three years. Students in the SCALE J.D./M.B.A. Program acquire both substantive training in law and management as well as hands-on experience in real-world settings.
This new three-year option takes advantage of Southwestern's accelerated SCALE® Program, the nation's first two-year J.D. program, and the law school's continuing partnership with The Drucker School, part of the Claremont Graduate University, one of the top management graduate schools in the country.

Here are some of the ways you can be a contributor in our effort:
Sponsoring a child in a village school - A $200 per year commitment, which will make a difference to an entire community. Your annual sponsorship pays for the child's school fees and supplies, as well as providing his/her school with much-needed classrooms, equipment and teacher training. You will receive information on your sponsored child, and annual progress reports on the changes you've helped bring about.
Sponsoring a women's group - A $350 per year commitment, which will provide training and seed money - for the 2 to 3 years, it will take your group to become self-sufficient. You will receive photos and reports on your group's activities, and have the opportunity to correspond with them.
Sponsoring a child in a private school in Kathmandu - Although we no longer accept new children into this program, from time to time we may be able to offer partial or full sponsorship, and we will be happy to share the stories of some of our children with you.
Here's what your contribution can do:
$35 provides a ventilated stove (chulo) for a poor family in Nepal. These stoves help improve people's health by reducing the amount of smoke taken into the lungs.
$40 buys a goat for a women's group member, which increases family income and women's assets.
$55 buys material for a latrine. With community contributions of labor and materials, these latrines promote community ownership of the means for improved public health and sanitation.
$80 provides a 10 day training for a village-level health educator. This health educator then shares information about basic first aid, sanitation, family planning, and nutrition with all in the village.
$100 buys a water tap for several families to share. This reduces the work-load of women who often have to walk up to two hours a day to fetch water for their families.
With larger amounts of money, you or a group of friends, can sponsor a women's group, or children either in Kathmandu-based private schools or in village schools. Nepal is an enigmatic and wonderful country and is famous for the Himalayas, the jungles and its intriguing mix of many different people and hill tribes. In order to make your stay in Nepal as interesting and unforgettable as possible, you can go trekking and enjoy much of the amazing sceneries apart from your teaching job.
The small amount, say, the amount you normally expect to spend in your weekend may mean quite a lot for the poor people here, where the per capita income is 200 dollars.
Besides monetary donation you can help by other means as well such as – you may send second hand clothes for the people and other stationeries such as pen, note books, pencils for the school children.
Whatever you might have heard about Nepal, it's probably going to be different, even from what you personally expect. Living in Nepal is not living in western territories, food is different and customs and conducts in any case. Be ready for the new, open up your mind, bring frankness and patience. And lot of films of course...
If there are still questions about topics that are not mentioned or not entirely explained, then there is no reason to hesitate and send your questions and comments.
