More than 40 days, 30,000 feet of granite, hundreds of occupiers, and zero Porta-Potties — perhaps one of the most extraordinary aspects of the Occupy Wall Street movement is the logistical finesse of its participants. As the protest nears its second month, Zuccotti Park has been transformed into a city within a city, complete with a kitchen, a sanitary team, a library and a sea of sleeping bags.
Protesters spend their days engaging in general assemblies and group discussions on issues like taxing the rich, cuts in public spending and tackling poverty.

Compete Tutoring necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 277 diseños de 76 diseñadores freelance.
Compete provides tutoring for SAT prep and ACT prep based on one mission: for every hour that we tutor, we give away another hour to a kid who needs it. Like the Tom's shoes of SAT prep.
For those of you not familiar with the SAT prep industry, a good SAT tutor can change someone's life. Seriously -- I personally have taught over 300 students in the past 2 years, and can tell you with confidence that I have gotten kids to a place they never would have been before.
We are launching the company in New York City, where the need to "level the playing field" is greater than anywhere. The front of the webpage will read:
(headline) We change lives. Two at a time.
(text) Compete provides engaging one-on-one tutoring in the greater New York area. We are based on a simple mission: for every hour of tutoring that you purchase, we give away an hour of tutoring to a student who needs it.
Our teaching methodology has been tested, and it works. Our staff has been tested, and they get results. You can rest easy knowing that we take a performance-driven approach to every student that we work with, especially those who most need it.
Compete changes lives. Two at a time.
Our starting pricing for tutoring will be $125/hr. That is on the low side in Manhattan -- some tutors who are "premium" go up as much as $300 to $400/hr.
So, expect these parents to be demanding and very pressure-oriented. They are spending $4K to $12K on tutoring, so they will expect our staff to be professional, well-trained, and friendly. All Ivy League grads with 2100 or above on the SAT, or PhD students who live in the city.
However keep in mind that high school guidance counselors, teachers, students, etc. will be viewing this website, so we want to come across as professional and friendly without being too intimidating.
That is a great tutoring site -- clearly builds credibility. However the "V" is a little lame and comes across as very intimidating.
Another great tutoring website, lots of credibility. My problem, the color is too bright and I think we will scare people away.
Don't like the "leaf" here because it feels lame. The overall presentation is great though.
This is my old tutoring company. I like how the logo feels friendly, but it's not professional.
Overall I think we should be looking for a clean look that somehow incorporates one-for-one into the tutoring logo. Maybe using powerful colors like blue red or green would be good.
And feel free to make a logo that is totally off color/more design oriented:

New HTML 5 Tutorial Offers Guide to iOS-Friendly Web Design
Toronto, Canada – Technology training leader InfiniteSkills Inc recently released its new HTML 5 training course offering real-time demonstrations of industry standard design and development techniques, with full compatibility for Apple devices. The course aims to assist both beginning and experienced HTML users in effectively implementing many new capabilities of the latest version of emerging web standard as transitioning web sites to HTML 5 will allow them to more easily support coming features of the protocol.
The InfiniteSkills HTML 5 tutorial includes 66 lessons focusing on basic HTML usage, website design, and embedding images and videos. HTML 5 is the most recent revision of the standard HTML web language, the basis for almost all internet viewing on personal computers, smart phones, and tablets. It is being designed to improve support for multimedia across a variety of platforms, keeping pace with the demands of today's mobile web browsing technology. The InfiniteSkills HTML5 tutorial reflects these innovations, helping viewers understand the fundamentals of language and understand how it can be utilized to make websites more flexible, more interactive and more accessible to a wide range of audiences.
Instructor John Ulliman, an HTML expert with nearly 20 years' experience in technology tutoring, guides learners through the basics of web design using HTML 5. The course is arranged around the step-by-step construction of a web site in which the essential elements of HTML 5 are employed. Users learn skills such as basic web page design, how to insert links, employ CSS styles, and embed images and videos.
Chris Johns, content coordinator, says that the best way to start using HTML is to be shown and guided through the direct steps. "The approach at InfiniteSkills," says Johns, "is to create an immersive environment where users are guided through the actual use of HTML 5 right on their screen rather than reading a book or trying to work from an overview." He adds that the InfiniteSkills approach allows beginners to intuitively grasp the most necessary skills for using HTML in a workflow.
Pricing and Availability:
The HTML 5 tutorial videos are both Macintosh and Windows compatible, and can be downloaded directly from the InfiniteSkills website or ordered on DVD-ROM. The complete tutorials in any format are priced at $99.95 USD retail. Shipping and purchasing options are available worldwide.

Wholesale Refurbished Phones
Dvcom Wholesale fully refurbished phones in Miami Beach like new and super tested to make sure our customers will receive their phones in like new condition.
- All of our refurbished phones will have brand new housing and parts.
- All of our refurbished phones are super tested and will arrive to our customers in like new condition.
- All of our refurbished phones will include 60 days functionality warranty.
It is a Good Idea to Buy Refurbished Phones?
Dvcom refurbished phones are simply used or pre-owned cell phones that are completely tested for defects, serviced and packaged before being sold again to a new owner in Miami Beach. Many people are choosing to go for this option rather than buying a brand new phone. Largely, this seems to be the favored choice for people who have lost, misplaced or damaged their current phone and do not have the funds to purchase a new phone at the moment. They choose to buy refurbished phones with US based companies being the first preference, which gives them the guarantee of getting a reliable mobile that will work well in the short term.
The main advantage of purchasing a previously owned phone that has been repaired and set right is that since it is not new it cannot be sold at the market price for that handset; in fact it is usually sold at a mere fraction of the MRP. This means that customers can get high end phones at extremely affordable prices. This kind of bargain price is especially attractive for students and young professionals who need a well-functioning phone but don't necessarily have the funds to buy a new one. People, who are waiting for the new version of their preferred brand of phone and simply need a replacement phone to last them till the latest technology is released, often opt for low priced, repaired, second hand phones.
A common misconception is that it is not a good idea to purchase a pre-owned phone as it is likely to be riddled with defects. However, the way to avoid this is to ensure the purchase is made from a reliable retailer such as DVCOM in Miami Beach. With trusted brands the likelihood of any defects is extremely low as the phone is thoroughly checked, tested, serviced and treated before being sold again. Their technicians service the phone to make it near mint condition. Also, a good brand will also offer a guarantee period so that if any unexpected defects occur when using the phone, it can be returned or exchanged. Thus, not only is buying a good quality second hand phone that has been well serviced an affordable option, it also comes with the necessary guarantees that make it a good investment.
There are other benefits of buying a used phone. It is a very environmentally friendly option. Rather than an old phone being dumped, it can be used till its full potential is exhausted. They are recycled products and this is an immensely appealing factor for environmentally conscious people.
Wholesale Refurbished mobile phones
Ultimately, the decision of purchasing a second hand phone will be based on a number of factors beyond just the cheap price. Customers shouldn't just hunt for the cheapest handset they can find as most phones that have been refurbished will usually be very low cost; instead, they should focus on finding a good seller known for their good customer service, reliable guarantees and expert phone repairs. This is the only way to ensure the customer gets a good bargain.
DVcom LLC is also a wholesaler of original and used tested spare parts, including LCD, flex cables, Batteries, and various ic parts.
DVcom LLC currently sells and distributes professional refurbish machines for lcd such as lens separator, frame hot glue sealer, vacuum machine, lens assembler etc.
DVcom LLC can manufacture various accessories and customize the packing and the item according to customer's specific requirements, such as logo, molding etc. These accessories include cases, selfie sticks, mobile charger and batteries and other mobile related accessories. DVcom LLC can certify these items to international standards such as FCC, SGS, UL, CB, CE.

During my short time as a student blogger here at CBU, I have explained a few of my ideas. Recently, I wrote about self -acceptance. I believe that one must accept themselves as an individual and be comfortable with who they are.
Too many times young people get caught up in the glamour that is hollywierd. Today's society tells us that you have to be a certain way to be accepted in life. Men are to be at least 6 feet tall with washboard abs and a strong jaw line. Women should be tall, thin, with long hair and plump lips. These ideas are concepts that the media and pop culture have made popular.
In my blog, I explained that most of the people we see pictured in the media and often held up as role models don't really look like they are portrayed. A lot of digital editing and airbrushing goes into the final appearance that we see online and in person.
I watched a film on the subject in one of my classes last year. I was surprised to learn that most of the models we see in magazines or on television look like normal people with normal bodies. The point I tried to get across was that we have to be ourselves and accept ourselves as God intended us. I also asked why it is that so many people stress themselves out trying to fit into what society views as the norm. Young Americans are constantly going out of their way or comfort zones to be someone they're not. Too many people alter themselves to please others and not themselves.
To see an example of what I'm talking about, click on this link and watch the video: http://youtu.be/7rSjh52fGTg
As we go into the summer months, I challenge you to remember the motto we have at CBU: "Live Your Purpose." Remember that no one can live your purpose but you—and no one else can be you, either. This summer, work on being yourself and the person God intended you to be. I'll bet you'll be happier for it.
Have a blessed summer CBU!!!

The Children of First Man
Random House Publishing Group, Jan 15, 1995 - Fiction - 608 pages
"MASTERFULLY RESEARCHED AND WRITTEN, THE CHILDREN OF FIRST MAN IS A FEAST OF A NOVEL. James Alexander Thom's sweeping saga of Welsh colonization in prehistoric America is loaded with wonderful characters and events, some so poignant I had to stop reading now and then to reflect."
--Linda Lay Shuler
Author of She Who Remembers
With its beautifully written and deeply felt descriptions of the feelings the first white settlers and Native Americans had for each other, THE CHILDREN OF FIRST MAN tells the fascinating story of a European people gradually absorbed into the Amerindian culture until their literacy was lost and their Christian religion submerged in the legend of a Welsh Prince named Madoc, the First Man. Sweeping from the blood-soaked castles of medieval Wales to the landmark expedition of Lewis and Clark, from the hushed beauty of virgin wilderness to Mandan villages of domed earthen lodges, THE CHILDREN OF FIRST MAN is a triumph of the storyteller's art.
"TERRIFICALLY ENTERTAINING...A highly imaginative novel that combines an old legend with historical fact to create an epic tale of America starting some three-hundred years before Columbus arrived."

User Review - Flag as inappropriate
Great book! Pulls together little known historical facts regarding someone other than the Vikings and Columbus who may have made an earlier voyage. There's just got to be a lot of truth to the story. From beginning to end, it is a real page turner, well written. Might be a little "R" for some but not in the usual ways.

Last week I experienced one of life's poignant little moments.
Leafing through the Jan. 12 edition of the Los Angeles Times, I came across an obituary for David Nelson ("TV family's last surviving star," LAT Extra). I spent a few moments in reverie and self-reflection.
Nelson was the last surviving member of the Nelson family: Ozzie, Harriet, David and Ricky. I grew up with the Nelsons on television. "America's Family" subtly influenced my own in the 1950s and '60s.
The Carnetts — Bill, Betty, Jimmy and Billy — reminded me of the Nelsons, and we occasionally took little cues from our TV cousins. My brother and I liked to get summer buzz haircuts to make ourselves look like Ricky.
"The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" aired from 1952 to 1966, constituting an incredible 435 episodes.
My family — like most Americans — loved the Nelsons even after David and Rick had grown to manhood and become fraternity brothers.
When we first began watching the show, David was 16 and Ricky 12. I was 7, and my brother, Billy, was 5. A decade later, Jimmy and Billy were still watching.
I saw myself as David, the staid, stolid older brother. David was the straight man in the family. I viewed his progression through life as illuminating. It pointed the way to my destiny. He was in high school and dating girls when I began watching the show as a third-grader. Later, he was a serious college student and I knew I'd follow him there someday.
I saw my brash little brother, Billy, as the irrepressible and wisecracking Ricky. A distinctive laugh-track accompanied Ricky's every joke. Ricky and Billy possessed the same mischievous smile, and same smart mouth. They could get away with anything!
Girls at school used to tell Billy he looked like Ricky.
Ozzie Nelson — the former bandleader and father of the boys — bore a striking physical resemblance to my dad, Bill. "Oz" also possessed the same soft voice, same self-deprecating sense of humor, and same slightly flummoxed demeanor.
Here's one area where they differed: Ozzie was often seen around the house wearing a jacket or sweater with a tie. Never, my father!
My dad actually knew Ozzie. The Nelsons owned a home in Laguna Beach and lived there part of the year. My father drove a milk delivery truck in Laguna, and the Nelsons were his customers. Dad would tote bottles into the Nelsons' kitchen, and place them in the refrigerator.
Ozzie and Harriet, he said, were always gracious.
Harriet reminded me of my mom, Betty. Both women were Midwesterners. Harriet was June Cleaver before June Cleaver. She was a great cook and maintained an immaculate and orderly household. Ditto my mom! Harriet was perfectly coiffed, and wore a lace apron around the house. Not so much my mother.
Ozzie was the first member of the Nelson family to die. He succumbed to liver cancer at the age of 69 in 1975. We grieved.
Rick, who went on to became a huge teen idol with "dreamy" eyes and a sexy pout, died tragically on New Year's Eve 1985 in a Texas plane crash. He was 45. We were shocked.
Harriet died of congestive heart failure at the age of 85 in 1994. We were dismayed.
For 16 years David was the only surviving Nelson. I suspect that that was a burden for him, but he handled it with class. He was the "face" of the Nelsons for many years.
The Times obit said David died Jan. 11 at 74 of complications from colon cancer. I felt profound sadness. With his passing, an era for my family had ended.
I'd long felt a kinship with David. We were both "big brothers." Big brothers are supposed to take charge and be serious, and David showed me how to do that. I'm gonna miss you, big bro!

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Justin Rose extended his lead at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on Saturday, shooting a 4-under 68 for a two-shot advantage over Jamie Donaldson of Wales and Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark.
A day after top-ranked Rory McIlroy and second-ranked Tiger Woods missed the cut, the fifth-ranked Rose made his third round look easy with seven birdies. After three-putting on the first for a bogey, the Englishman had a stretch of six birdies over nine holes --including sinking a 20-footer on 5 that gave him back the lead and an approach shot on the ninth that rolled to four feet from the hole for birdie -- for an overall 204.
"Delighted about the day," said Rose, who has been at the top of the leaderboard all week. "I strengthened my lead, if you like, one to two shots. I guess that's always good."
Rose cooled down on the back nine, hitting errant drives on Nos. 13 and 17 that led to bogeys and reduced a four-shot lead to two. After Olesen (69) and Donaldson (69) birdied No. 18, Rose responded by nearly chipping in on the same hole and finished with his seventh birdie.
"I was a little bit mad about the bogey at 17 because I didn't feel I did an awful lot wrong there," Rose said. "I've been very resilient and bounced back well."
Coming off one of his best seasons where he finished second to McIlroy at the European Tour's season-ending DP World Championship in Dubai, Rose said a victory Sunday would boost the chase for his first major.
"Anyone that wins this week ... you can say you've beaten the best players, and that's exactly what you need to do," Rose said
Olesen and Donaldson struggled to make putts early but ended happy to be in the final round mix. Olesen hit an approach shot from a sandy rough on the 18th that landed a few feet from the pin for a birdie. Donaldson matched him on the 18th with a clutch putt for his second birdie in four holes.
"Very happy with the score, 3 under was great," Donaldson said. "A little bit scrappy at the start but (I) recovered really well in places."
Playing alongside Rose, Olesen said he would need a strong start if he was going to overtake the Englishman.
"It looks like he's playing really well but, if I can get some birdies in quickly, I think it can be exciting," said the 52nd-ranked Dane who is paired with Rose for the final round. "I'm going to try to be aggressive tomorrow. I thought I was pretty aggressive today but I didn't hole the putts I needed to."
Olesen won his first tournament in 2012 and joined McIlroy as one of Nike's new signings this year.
As part of the deal, Olesen followed McIlroy in making a complete switch to Nike clubs. In contrast to early adjustment problems for two-time major winner McIroy, the 23-year-old Dane said he is "enjoying his equipment."
"It was probably good for me that no one really concentrated on me and I could do my own thing," said Olesen.
Rose's playing partner Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano of Spain closed to within a shot of the lead after a birdie on the second. But he had trouble hitting the greens after that and fell back. He showed signs of recovery when he sank a 40-foot putt on the seventh, but his drive on No. 16 hit a cart path and bounced into the water for a costly bogey.
Fernandez-Castano finished four shots back and tied for fifth with Richie Ramsay (67) of Scotland and David Howell (68) of England on 208.
Several players made late charges to get themselves into contention, including Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee (66) with seven birdies -- opening and closing with two in a row -- to move fourth on 207.

Double The Turbos Means Double The Fun In Greg Vesely's '64 Fairlane 500.
People always seem to want just a little bit more. If two aspirin are good, three must work better; the guy with a five-speed tranny longs for a six-speed. It's just the way we're wired-more is better, and too much is rarely enough. In the case of Greg Vesely's '64 Fairlane, the choice to go with two turbos over one was a no-brainer. According to builder Brian Duffee, "A few years ago, guys would run two turbos to cut down on the lag time; however, turbo technology has helped make this less of an issue. I still feel two turbos are a bit more efficient, compared to one larger single unit, but a lot of it is about upping the car's coolness factor."
Nonetheless, before you can use any mill, you need a ride to stuff it into. Forty years ago, Greg's older brother, Curt, had a '64 Fairlane parked in the driveway. Greg spent his formative years drooling over this ride, and the desire to have one of his own was burned into his brain. Fast-forward four decades, and Greg finally found the cash and time to get one. A relatively rust free two-door post car was located in sunny California, purchased, and trailered back to sunnier Mesa, Arizona.
Like most of us, Greg works for a living, and didn't have the time or specialized skills to make his dream a reality. So Curt turned him on to Brian Duffee of Duffee Motorsports in Glendale, Arizona. Brian tells PHR, "When Greg contracted us to build a '64 Fairlane that he had recently purchased, I was excited for several reasons. First and foremost he wanted big power. OK, now he had my attention. Then he stated that the car must appear stock with vintage wheels, column shift, and a bench seat. My head was bursting with ideas as we discussed the project over lunch, and we came up with a plan." With the car in the shop and a plan of attack in hand, work started on the 43-year-old ride.
The Fairlane was stripped and acid dipped to reveal bare metal. The exterior of the car needed to keep its old-school vintage feel, but the chassis, suspension, and driveline were going to be updated to modern standards. The old rear frame was ditched, and new 2×3-inch framerails were grafted into place, from the front subframe to the rear bumper. This greatly strengthened the chassis and allowed for suitably large rollers to reside within the rear quarters. Since Greg didn't want to clutter the interior with a 'cage, a custom K-frame was incorporated to further stiffen the chassis. Jeremy Measeles of Duffee Motorsports came up with the one-off front suspension, and did most of the fabrication work on the Fairlane. "For the front suspension, we decided on '95 Mustang spindles, with D&D coilover springs and Tokico struts," Jeremy says. "Not having an upper control arm would allow more room for packaging the two turbos. We started with the wheel and tire in a desirable position, and fabricated the suspension from there. We also routed 1.75-inch tubing through the firewall and cowl areas to absorb forces from the front suspension." In the rear of the car, Jeremy fabricated a three-link suspension around a shortened Currie 9-inch rear. He also eliminated the need for a Panhard rod by making the upper link in a Y-design for lateral control. This meant there would be ample room for the planned 3-inch exhaust. Hey, turbos need plenty of room to exhale.
Greg wants to drive the Fairlane, and that means being able to stop quickly when needed. Up front, they felt that a Baer GT+ system would get the job done, but a 13-inch rotor requires a 17-inch front wheel for clearance. In the rear, Baer's Sport+ kit was installed so that they could run smaller 15-inch wheels with a taller sidewall tire. At first, they were a bit concerned about running larger wheels in the front, but, as Brian tells us, "We took a risk on wheel sizing by going with a 17-inch in the front (to clear the brakes), and a 15-inch in the rear (to accept the drag radials). We tried the 17s on the rear, but these older cars look like roller skates with larger diameter wheels and short sidewalls. We think the 15s give the car a stronger, more aggressive look." A Ford Ranger gave up its power assist unit and master cylinder, making for a great pedal feel. Greg also wanted to build the Fairlane using as many Ford parts as possible. No "GM this" or "Mopar that." So Brian and Jeremy kept that goal in mind when coming up with the steering system. A Fox Mustang steering rack is fed by a '95 Mustang pump, which almost makes up for the guys who shove LS1s into Mustangs.
With the chassis fabbed, it was time to motivate the Fairlane. Brian floated the idea of a 351-based twin-turbo by Greg, who quickly gave him the green light. Brian says, "The criteria for the engine were to use strong components to handle twin turbos, and to make it streetable. The starting point was a Dart 351 Windsor block with a 4.125-inch bore and forged internals. We retained the stock stroke of 3.50 inch so piston height was not compromised, and cubes aren't an issue when you have two turbos doing the work." Thanks to the air-to-air intercooler, the Ford can run 15 pounds of boost on 91 octane, and if you can stay out of the throttle, it still manages decent mileage. Unfortunately, they had practice building the turbo-fed mill. In 2005, the shop was broken into and thieves pilfered the block, rotating assembly, heads, and turbos. Insurance paid for the parts, but it couldn't cover lost time. Still, the engine was finished and crafted into the car. At first glance, it's hard to spot the low-slung turbos and related hardware. Jeremy even managed to hide the typical "rat's nest" of tubing commonly associated with twin turbos, and the intercooler is nestled away out of sight. This is Arizona, and that means triple-digit temperatures. Air conditioning isn't an option-it's a requirement. And even though they said it was in there, we could barely find it, which is in keeping with their goal to reduce clutter wherever possible. The trans cooler and accompanying electric fan are tucked away inside the driver-side fender, and the A/C condenser is sequestered within the Mark VIII electric-fan-cooled aluminum enclosure.
Turning our attention inside, the interior is old-school cool, and classically stock. The bench seat was retained (as was the big Fairlane steering wheel), and covered in period- correct vinyl and cloth. When you sit down, you almost forget you're in a modified car-at least until you turn the key and fire it up. A boost controller hides in the ashtray, and an Alpine head unit and JL amp provide resonance to the speakers. This car has road trip written all over it, which is exactly what Greg has planned. We think the first trek should be with his brother, Curt-it seems only fitting, considering he set the build in motion 40 years ago.
"Just squeeze the throttle down and the frustrations fade. The converter flairs, the trans downshifts into Second, and your body compresses into original-style seats. The chassis works so well, you say, 'look ma, no hands!'" – Brian Duffee

Alabama football coach Nick Saban was on his "A-game" at Southeastern Conference media days Thursday.
HOOVER — Alabama football coach Nick Saban was on his "A-game" at Southeastern Conference media days Thursday — as usual.
"For me personally, it's perfect," he said. "I had a great vacation, then, I get to come here and see 1,200 of my very closest friends all at the same time."
The comment was steeped in sarcasm of course, and then he took another shot at the media after it had picked the Crimson Tide to win the SEC title this year.
"I know, I read and I hear how you all make predictions in what's going to happen in the season," Saban said. "I'd also like to make a note here that in the last 21 seasons, you as the media have only picked the right team four times to win the SEC. Now, if I was 4-17 as a coach, I would be back in West Virginia pumping my gas at my daddy's gas station."
Yep, just another typical media day appearance for Saban — and the media laughed right along.
Now entering his seventh season in charge at Alabama, Saban spent time answering questions ranging from defending the no-huddle offense to the demands of scheduling the right opponents. He even was asked about being compared to legendary Tide coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. He had an interesting answer for that one.
"There's no way that we have done anything close to what he's done in terms of his consistency over time, how he changed what he did to impact the times," said Saban, who has won four total BCS national championships and three with Alabama. Bryant won six titles. "They threw the ball and won. They ran the wishbone and won. I mean, he changed tremendously to do what he needed to do to be successful. I don't think that it would be fair that anyone really be compared to what he was able to accomplish, the way he did it, and how he impacted other people."
There's no denying the game certainly has changed since Bryant's time, and a big difference now is the number of teams playing an up-tempo style game. Auburn coach Guz Malzahn made headlines Wednesday when he said he wanted the Tigers to play faster on offense than any other team in college football.
"I think preparation is really an important part of that," Saban said. "When people play fast, I think it takes defensive players out of their rhythm a little bit. I think we obviously need to practice that way more often."
But there's another component to it. The style of offense Auburn and other teams will be playing in 2013 has its detractors.
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said Wednesday that it affects player safety, and Saban has been critical of it in the past.
"I don't know that there will ever be any rule changes that affect the up-tempo teams," Saban said. "There's only two questions that I've ever had (and) I don't have the answer to these questions: Should we allow football to be a continuous game? Is that the way the game was designed to play? And the second part of it is, and I don't have the answer to this, is an increased number of plays that players play in the game, is there any safety issues in that?
"They play like 64 plays a game in the NFL. We play over 80 in college. The up-tempo teams play even more than that.
"The cumulative effect of that is a player is playing 25, 30 more plays a game. Is there any safety issues in that?"
Scheduling also was a big topic for Saban. He's in favor of a nine-game SEC schedule and, with the college football playoff just around the corner, he emphasized how important it was to play 10 quality opponents every year.
Earlier on Thursday, LSU coach Les Miles said scheduling should not in any way decide a championship, and every teams' path to a title should be equal.
"Yeah, but there can never be an equal path to the championship unless everybody plays everybody," said Saban, whose Tide will cross over to play SEC East doormats Kentucky and Tennessee this season. LSU, meanwhile, must play heavyweights Florida and Georgia. "I understand where Les Miles is coming from. I coached at LSU. We played Florida every year, too. So if anybody understands it, I understand it. You understand? Aight?
" My question is, is do other coaches understand our circumstance?
"Do they understand Auburn-Georgia circumstance? Do they understand the other teams in our league that do have rivalries that are cherished by the fans?"
One rivalry that may be ready to take off for Alabama is against Texas A&M.
The Aggies gave the Tide their only loss last season, and offensive lineman Anthony Steen apparently hasn't gotten over it.
"Obviously, we want to beat them by 50," he said. "We see on TV every day that they beat us."
A big reason for the loss was A&M quarterback and eventual 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. The sophomore was grilled Wednesday at media days for what has been an interesting offseason, to say the least.
He left the Manning Passing Academy on Saturday under disputed circumstances. Manziel, a counselor at the camp, said he simply overslept and missed a camp activity, and camp officials couldn't reach him because his cellphone had died.
He deflected questions Wednesday about drinking alcohol the night before he left the Manning Passing Academy, leading to speculation he was hung over — which he vehemently denied.
Another twist in the saga was that Manziel revealed that Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron was his roommate at the camp.
Manziel said Wednesday that McCarron didn't wake him, but "I'm definitely not going to pin it on him.
"It's my fault — 115, 120 percent."
McCarron was asked several times Thursday why he didn't wake Manziel.
"I can't answer on Johnny Manziel's part," McCarron said. "My name's AJ. Everything that has to do with him, he's his own man. I'm not going to speak on another man's business. That's how I was raised.
"I know how I handle myself out in public, how I carry myself in front of people. That's what I'm worried about, trying to be the best player and the best person off the field that I can be for my family and the University of Alabama. I never want to disrespect them in any way."

Farmingdale State Men's Lacrosse 2009 Preview
- Maxwell, Leone and Zuar to captain Rams -
Farmingdale, N.Y. – The Farmingdale State
men's lacrosse team opens up the season on March 1 and has
many new faces on the roster. The Rams lost five games last season
by a combined seven goals, on their way to a 3-10 record in
Tuttle's first season. With ten players returning and a large
recruiting class, Coach Tuttle hopes to produce more wins in
The captains this year will be senior attackman Sean Maxwell (West Babylon, N.Y./NYIT), senior goalkeeper Teddy Leone (East Meadow, N.Y./East Meadow) and sophomore midfielder Adam Zuar (Lindenhurst, N.Y./Lindenhurst). Both Maxwell and Leone were named Second Team All-Skyline in 2008. Maxwell scored 22 goals and Zuar was the teams' top-faceoff man.
Joining the captains in leading this years squad are sophomores Joey Stroessenreuther (Bethpage, N.Y./Bethpage) and Eddie Rifice (Babylon, N.Y./Babylon). After leading the Rams in scoring in '08, both will look to step it up even more this season. Stroessenreuther, the teams' #1 returning midfielder, scored 31 points last year, while Rifice, one of our go-to attackman, scored 20 goals in 2008.
Tuttle has a few key transfers to his roster who should bulk up the defensive end of the field. Junior midfielder Mike Maxwell (West Babylon, N.Y./NYIT), a 6-2, 200 pound transfer from NYIT, brings some size to the midfield, which Tuttle says was lacking a year ago. Freshman defender Bobby Lazos (Holy Trinity, N.Y./Molloy) is a good position defenseman with a great stick. Freshman defender Chris JapNgie (Massapequa, N.Y./Holy Trinity), is transfer from Alfred College who played football last year at Alfred, but returns to lacrosse in '09 and will likely be seen as a crease defenseman.
The freshman standouts for Coach Tuttle in the fall were freshman defender/long stick Will Valasiadis (Glen Head, N.Y./North Shore), freshman attackman/midfielder Eric Thompson (Floral Park, N.Y./Floral Park) and freshman goaltender Patrick Delventhal (Westbury, N.Y./Holy Trinity).
Coach Tuttle mentioned of these freshmen, "Valasiadis, an All-County defenseman, has great speed and could play down low or at the midfield, he checks hard and plays great position. Thompson, an Honorable Mention All-American in high school, stands at 6'3" and 210 pounds. He is a threat to go to goal every time, but he also sees the field well and can carry the ball to feed. Delventhal led Holy Trinity to two Catholic League Championships; he had a good fall season and will compete for the starting goalie spot with senior Teddy Leone."
The Rams open up their 2009 campaign at home on the new FieldTurf against Plattsburgh State on Sunday, March 1st at 1:00 p.m. They continue through March on a seven-game homestand, hosting teams such as Oswego State, Wesleyan and Division II Molloy College. Starting off the month of April, they will travel to play Dominican College (also Division II) and Richard Stockton, before coming back for another four games at home. They wrap up the regular season with a conference game away against Mount Saint Vincent on April 29th.

Jim Smith: Professional, Smart VC, Good Interactions
Fund: MDV-Mohr Davidow Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-01-02
Pitched my company to Jim Smith at two stages of financing. He didn't invest, but our discussions were very nice and professional - memorable enough for me to take time out of an extremely busy time to write this post.
Disclaimer: I've founded, built, sold, multiple startups. Met more VCs than I can remember. Have observed MDV as part of one of their earlier investments as well.
The good: Jim is very sharp. Gets it quickly. Let's you make your pitch how you need to. Asks tough questions and they are mostly directly related to the issues you were worried about.
Very polite, easy to deal with, and prompt.
The not-so-good: Jim had suggested slightly traditional solutions to certain issues he raised. Not as entrepreneurial about those solutions as an entrepreneur might be, but then he is a VC. And his suggestions did make us think of more traditional, lower risk ways of doing this, which helped us in the end.
I've met Randy Strahan and Sven, dealt with Jon Feiber as well, and I think each of them was very professional. Good experience, and I would recommend Jim and the MDV team to any entrepreneur.PRIVATE: Members Only (320 Characters)

Harvin Listed As Doubtful For Lions Game
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings receiver Percy Harvin is listed as doubtful for the game Sunday against Detroit with a sprained left ankle.
Harvin did not practice all week after being injured against Seattle. He is widely considered one of the toughest players on the roster, so coach Leslie Frazier says he is not ruling out Harvin entirely just yet. He will try to test things again on Saturday and before the game Sunday before a final determination is made.
Losing Harvin would be a big blow to a Vikings passing offense ranked 30th in the NFL. Christian Ponder has struggled mightily and the rest of the team's receiver corps has had difficulty creating separation in the secondary.
The Vikings (5-4) have lost three of their last four games.

On May 24 in Washington, D.C., a committee of 15 historians, a few expressing surprise at the findings presented in a 50-page nomination document, unanimously decided to accept the Montauk Lighthouse as a National Historic Landmark — a structure of not only regional importance, but a beacon of great significance to the United States as a whole. The reason had a lot to do with the wind.
Prevailing winds turned out to play an important role in winning over the national heritage committee of the National Park System Advisory Board, said Robert Hefner, an historic preservation consultant. Mr. Hefner began working with the Montauk Historical Society's Montauk Lighthouse committee back in 2006, and toiled on after nominations were twice rejected.
"It was an amazing odyssey," Mr. Hefner said of the research that finally did the trick — the trick being the argument that would prove the Light's national significance. It would not be the fact that the Montauk Light was authorized by President George Washington, the second lighthouse to be commissioned, the first being the Cape Henry light outside Baltimore Harbor.
"It had always been looked at as a lighthouse, and lost out to Cape Henry, which is more architecturally intact. The Montauk Light was renovated in 1860," Mr. Hefner said.
No, the key to its significance lay in its importance to the pre and post-Revolutionary War trade between New York and England, with a volume of imports and exports far greater, Mr. Hefner's research showed, than was realized in modern times.
The evidence was found in the archives of the New York City Chamber of Commerce going back to 1792. Part of Mr. Hefner's odyssey involved a frustrating, yearlong wait before being allowed to examine the chamber's records. They had been given to Columbia University in 2005, uncataloged and in boxes. He was told he was the first researcher to delve into the collection.
What he found was the extent to which the chamber had cooperated with Tory merchants when New York was occupied by the British during the Revolution.
After the occupation, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton warned against penalizing the Tory merchants or otherwise disrupting the new nation's trade relations with its former mother country.
England's Industrial Revolution was under way, and the agrarian-based society of the U.S. was dependent on it. In addition, duty on imports was about the only source of revenue at the time. To protect it, Mr. Hamilton also talked Congress into establishing a revenue cutter service — an agency that later evolved into U.S. Coast Guard — to frustrate smuggling.
In 1792, the New York City Chamber of Commerce clamored for a lighthouse to be built at Montauk in the interest of protecting the ships that sailed back and forth between the U.S. and England, and, of course to gird the companies that insured them.
But why Montauk? By the time of the Revolution, mariners were already finding the entrance to New York Harbor with the help of the Sandy Hook Lighthouse located below the New Jersey Highlands.
Mr. Hefner discovered that in 1792, the year the New York chamber requested a Montauk light, Ezra L'Hommedieu, designer of the Lighthouse, took three veteran sea captains to the East End of the South Fork to share their navigational and ship-handling wisdom. In this case, they focused on Long Island's 125-mile lee shore.
In the age of sail, the most dangerous shore was a lee shore, that is, a shore that was downwind from a ship. In heavy weather a lee shore was often impossible to "claw off" of. The South Shore of Long Island is dotted with the wrecks of ships forced aground in this way.
Mr. Hefner's research showed that during the summer months, when the prevailing wind was from the south, as it continues to be, ships sailing from England would head well south of Long Island's lee shore and look for the Sandy Hook Light (and later, the Navesink Light on the New Jersey Highlands and the Barnegut Light farther to the south).
But in winter, when the prevailing wind blew from the north, often at gale force, sailing ships could take a more northerly and faster course that required less tacking. Until the Nantucket Light Ship was anchored in 1853 to warn mariners of dangerous shoals, the Montauk Light fixed a ship's position and proximity to its destination.
"In the bad season of the year, when it was more dangerous and the nights were longer, they would come to Montauk," Mr. Hefner said. The wind factor was borne out in the Treasury Department's annual commerce and navigation reports.
In 1792, Congress authorized construction of the Montauk Light. It was completed in 1796 under the direction of John McComb, with the help of a large quantity of rum for the 50 workers. The Light, atop the headland known as Turtle Hill at the tip of Montauk Point was 85 feet above the ground, and the ground 71 feet above the sea. This put the whale-oil-fueled beacon 156 feet above sea level, making it one of the most effective on the coast as the years passed.
By the time the Montauk Light was built, New York City was first among American ports in the volume of its foreign commerce. By 1797, the harbor was handling a third of the nation's trade with other countries.
While the wind factor certainly made the Montauk Lighthouse important during the age of sail, Mr. Hefner's nomination document would need to prove its relative significance nationwide as the age of sail was ending and other lighthouses were added along the coast.
The booming trade between Liverpool and New York was curtailed by the War of 1812, but after the Treaty of Ghent, New York quickly surpassed other U.S. ports with imports of manufactured goods, Mr. Hefner found.
The port grew even faster with a new innovation, a trans-Atlantic packet service whose regularly scheduled comings and goings attracted shippers. France also got into the act by the 1830s, with regular shipping between Le Havre, a manufacturing center, and New York. Coastal packets distributed European goods from New York along the coast to southern ports. The packets returned with cotton, tobacco, rice, and naval stores for export, again from New York.
In this way, New York Harbor grew to national importance, and along with it its eastern sentinel, the Montauk Lighthouse.
Except for the north-to-south packet runs, growth of trade from New York Harbor continued through and after the Civil War. In 1870, the commerce and navigation report recorded that 75 percent of all goods imported from Great Britain and 89 percent of all goods from France — representing 44 percent of all U.S. imports — entered this country through New York Harbor following the same sea routes.
Mr. Hefner was able to show that not even the advent of steam engines would alter the importance of the Montauk Lighthouse, until about 1895 when the new-fangled engines were trustworthy enough to chart a more straight-line route without fear of the lee shore. Then the Fire Island Lighthouse built in 1858 became the landfall of choice.
Until then, sea captains who had spent most of their careers on sailing ships had a healthy mistrust of the new technology. Even when in command of ships with auxiliary sails, they kept marking their westward progress via the Montauk Light.
It wasn't a change of course so much as a change in trade that marked an end to New York Harbor's early halcyon days. By 1870, U.S. manufacturing was coming of age. Imports of British and French goods began to fall off.
Mr. Hefner's nomination document based the Montauk Light's national significance on its service between 1797, the year it was first lighted, to 1870, about the time U.S. manufacturing was taking over and British and French imports were falling off.
On May 24, Mr. Hefner traveled to Washington to make a presentation of his findings before the 15 historians, college professors, and Department of the Interior officials who needed convincing. Twenty other properties were up for landmark consideration during three days of meetings. With him were Richard F. White, chairman of the Lighthouse committee, Eleanor Ehrhardt, a committee member, and Brian Pope, an assistant site manager at the Lighthouse.
"They voted right in front of us," Mr. Hefner said on Friday, a hint of the initial surprise in his voice. The nomination will now be passed to the National Historic Landmark committee's advisory board, and if approved by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, Mr. Hefner's six-year research odyssey will have made the Montauk Lighthouse quite a bit taller.

Chris Brown to Perform at Grammys
Team Breezy, rejoice! Chris Brown is not only scheduled to appear at this year's Grammys, but word is he will also be performing.
Brown is up for three awards this year (Best R&B Album, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song). Showing off his skills onstage will be yet a big step in Breezy's comeback following the massive success of 'F.A.M.E.'
Following Brown's pre-Grammy assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, many believed that Brown was consequently and indefinitely banned from "Music's Biggest Night." However, in December a source told Radar Online that those reports were untrue and that Rihanna has no issues with Brown attending the ceremony this year. This month, the reason why Rihanna's cool with it may have been uncovered: the two have been reportedly hooking up. (Though they both deny it, where there's smoke — and this much tabloid talk — there's usually at least a hint of fire.) RiRi herself is slated to perform 'Princess of China' with Coldplay.
E! Online reports that details are scant on Brown's performance thus far because the plans are still being worked out, so it's unclear whether he will perform hits from 'F.A.M.E.' or new material from his upcoming followup, 'Fortune.'
Despite his past issues in his personal life, Brown is an undeniably powerful performer. We can't wait to see what Breezy has up his sleeve.

Since we already have a female face tutorial, I thought it would be a good idea to give the men some exposure. Here's a tutorial on how to draw a male face. The same principles apply as with the female face tutorial. I'll note a few differences.
Before starting this tutorial please check out these helpful tips.
I used Photoshop to draw this, but you can use a pencil and paper.
Our smexy reference:
A few differences to note between male and female faces:
See if you can spot any more differences on your own.
Basic facial construction:
Step 1. Copy the basic construction onto your paper. (If you're using pencil and paper don't press too hard – you'll need to erase these lines later.) Draw the oval (not circle) then cut it in half horizontally and vertically. You may use a ruler. These two lines indicate where the eyes and nose will go. Cut the bottom half of the circle in half again. Then cut the remaining bottom section into thirds. These lines indicate where the nose and lips will go.
See process:
Step 2. Place the nose. Refer to your reference picture to get an idea of what the bottom part of the nose looks like. It has a half circle in the middle and two skewed half-circles at the sides. Don't worry about detail at this stage. Use the nose as a guideline for your eyes. The outer edges of your nose (the two skew half-circles) indicates where the inner corners of the eyes go. Use guidelines. When you draw your eyes keep in mind that the space between the eyes should be wide enough to fit in another eye. Refer to your reference to get an idea of the shape of the eyes.
Eyebrows: The inner corners of the eyebrows start right above the inner corners of the eyes. Also they have the same starting height. Use guidelines.
Mouth: We need the irises as a guide for the mouth. Add the irises and pupils into the eyes if you haven't already. The corners of the mouth are right below the inner sides of the irises. Have I mentioned yet that you should use guidelines?
Step 3. Now that the guy looks ugly as hell, let's erase the guidelines in an attempt to make our creation a little prettier and uncluttered.
Wow! It actually looks almost human now.
Step 4. Give the face shape. Work around the edges, erase parts of the oval and add in the cheek bones, jaw line and hair line.
Step 5. Add mouth detail. Refer to your reference picture.
Step 6. Detail the eyes. Remember the irises and pupils are not fully visible; parts of it are hidden by the upper and lower lids. Draw in the eye lids. Use loose, brushy strokes for the eyebrows.
Step 7. Clean up the lines in the nose area. Add bushy nose hairs.... (just kidding). You can use a little bit of shading to bring out the shape of the nose. Pay attention to your line weight (thickness).
Step 8. Draw the ears. Usually if it's a full frontal view the bottom of the ears will align with the bottom of the nose, but in this picture it seems the man's head is slightly tilted downward. So put the ears a little higher than the nose. Again, refer to the reference picture. If you suck at drawing ears, like I do, don't worry too much about detail. We can always use the hair to cover it up *wink wink*.
Step 9. The hair! My favorite part. Don't worry, everything doesn't have to be precise.You can improvise and even give him Dragonball Z hair if you want.
Step 10. Almost done. Let's add some highlights to the eyes. And give the lips shape by adding in some shading. Add shading on the teeth as well.
Step 11. If you know how, add shading to bring out the forehead, nose and cheeks. For the beard, try not to draw a solid outline - just do rough, random strokes. If floating heads freak you out (as they well should) add a neck.
And that's it. Don't be let down if your picture does not look exactly like the reference – as long as it looks human and male, you've succeeded. Keep practicing. Draw, draw, draw – that is the only way to improve.
"An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one." - Charles Horton Cooley

Facial expressions are pretty hard to do... for some reason, your drawn guy looks almost slightly angry, while the original photo doesn't. Maybe something to do with the eyebrows? I think they're a tiny bit more tilted than the photo. 😛

It's a Ball of Poop
Do dung beetles play ball? Not exactly.
All over the world, dung beetles do a really important clean-up job. They eat the droppings of plant-eating animals, such as cows, sheep, zebras, and even elephants.
Eating dung may sound strange, but dung is mostly undigested food. It's filled with nutritious seeds and pieces of plants and fruit. Dung beetles use the sharp, toothlike edges on their legs and heads to cut off a piece they like. They have to work fast—there are lots of beetles that want some dung. To keep a piece for themselves, they often shape it into a ball and roll the ball away to bury and eat it in a safe place.
At mating time, a female beetle may ride on top of the ball as the male pushes. After they've buried the ball and mated underground, the female lays a single egg on top. That way her baby will have plenty of good dung to eat when it hatches.
- undigested:
- Not broken down.
- Why are dung beetles important?
Answer: Dung beetles are important because they clean up the droppings left by animals.
- Do dung beetles reuse, recycle, or reduce the material in animal droppings?
Answer: Dung beetles recycle the material in animal droppings.
- What two things might happen if there were no dung beetles?
Answer: There might be a lot more animal droppings lying around. There would be a lot of wasted resources.
