Federal Prosecutors Charge Atlanta Woman with Mortgage Fraud
BIRMINGHAM – Federal prosecutors on Friday charged an Atlanta woman with mortgage fraud for providing false financial information for several home buyers that resulted in fraudulently obtained mortgages totaling more than $623,000, U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance, FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Robert E. Haley III, and Housing and Urban Development Inspector General David Montoya announced.
The U.S. Attorney's Office filed an information in U.S. District Court charging MELNEKA PARKER, 27, with three counts of aiding and abetting others in the making of false statements on mortgage loan applications.
Parker assisted in the commission of a larger mortgage fraud ring among several buyers, including Gloria Allen and Crystal Douglas, both of Huntsville, who were charged by information in July. Beginning in 2008, Parker owned and operated Elite Business Services in Huntsville, with the stated purpose of helping its clients improve their credit scores, according to the information.
The charges filed against Parker outline the fraud as follows:
After forming Elite Business Services, Parker began assisting her clients in obtaining mortgages to buy real estate in the Huntsville area. Because many of her clients were not financially eligible to obtain loans, Parker would submit false payroll and income information to the financial institution. The false payroll information inflated the monthly income that each borrower claimed to earn, making them eligible for a mortgage that they would otherwise have been unable to obtain. Parker also sent the false income information to another tax preparation business, which resulted in the creation of false tax documents. All of those documents were submitted to support the false income claims made by the borrower and Parker. As a result of her fraudulent activities, financial institutions approved $623,357 in mortgages that they would not, otherwise, have approved.
If convicted, Parker could face a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine for each count.
The FBI and HUD, Office of the Inspector General, investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Carney is prosecuting the case.

Yesterday was Ritchie Porte's birthday. I was very honoured that he invited me to his birthday party! I wasn't actually aware it was ritchie's birthday when I met him at aroma's cafe in launceston at 6am, the only thing I was aware off was that ritchie and I were going to be spending a long time on our bikes! We had plotted this ride last week at TDU, we both love a long days training so decided a 300+km day needed to be done. On monday I received a message from ritchie upping it to 320km and thursday was locked in as the day for the adventure. I decided I would also ride up to launceston so did so on thursday afternoon, just a lazy 194km to get the system going after TDU. During the ride up I started receiving messages from ritchie with the distance of the proposed route increasing with every vibrate of my blackberry. First 330km, then 350, the finally as I passed cambelltown 365km was sent through. I could tell by the tone of ritchie's messages that he was getting excited and I simply said you choose the course I will ride it, Its your home turf, you get to make the rules! Upon receiving the message simply saying "let's make it a classic 365km" I decided to pull into the next shop I saw and start loading up on calories! I was going to be needing them the next day and promptly downed a massive mountain dew and muslie slice, I was now also going to taking the final 30km of my ride into launceston quite a lot more tranquillo!! Needed to save the pins!!
1st 100km:
We rolled out of launceston around 6:30 and headed for the quiet backroads to longford. The route ritchie choose was about as perfect a route you could choose when attempting a 360km adventure. Launceston-Longford-Epping Forest-St Mary's-St Helens-Scottsdale-Launceston. Simply put a circumnavigation of north eastern Tasmania. St Helens was exactly half way and came at a mentally perfect point where you reached the coast. Basically then you head back inland to launceston via a more picture esk route than that of which got you to the coast. Along with the more interesting terrain came many more hills however after the relatively boring flat initial 180km the change in terrain was something to look forward to.
Ritchie I had not trained together since march last year when I visited him in monaco. We speak a lot but you always chat about different things when out on the quiet country roads together. As a result of it being such a long time between training drinks I was pretty confident we would have plenty to chat about. Besides we had decided to to stop talking to each other at TDU as we knew we would have plenty of time to catch up on our big day out! As it turned out I can't remember a period of more than 30seconds when we were not chatting about something. Sure I could talk under water with a mouthful of marbles so I probably spoke or kept the conversation going a little more than ritchie but I am pretty sure it was more often than not a 2 way conversation.
Just the otherside of Longford richie broke it to me that it was his birthday. I was immediately pretty touched he choose to spend every daylight hour of his birthday on his bike with me. I said mate we don't have to do it today and ritchie said "no, this is absolutely perfect, being out here on my bike the entire day is the best present ever". Probably no surprize he is one of the best riders in the world with that attitude when the ultimate gift is a free day of riding as far and hard and wherever he wished to ride! That's real passion for the bicycle.
So back to the first 100km and all was going smooth. Pretty flat, deathly quiet country roads with nothing for company other now the odd sheep or cow. Around 50km we hit our first hurdle in the form of a ripped apart gravel road. The road was that under construction that is was a combination between strada bianchi and paris roubaix. For 5km you could do nothing but ride and slip and slide and bounce around and hope you don't puncher. Luckily we both escaped without any mechanicals and we were now at epping forest. From here It a short section of road heading south on the states main hwy before chucking a left and heading toward the coast. This left turn was the start of the most mentally challenging section of road we would face. I call this section road the hwy to nowhere as you simply feel like you are going nowhere for 100km. At the end of this section is the sea and the mood changes but until that point you are flat out not falling asleep either driving or on the bike. We put our heads down and plowed on. After 100km I was already struggling a little and needed to stop. We both slammed a coke, some water and I topped up the tank with a 600ml ice coffee. As we discover we would both have many moments of difficulty on the fuel front at different stages throughout the day.
2nd 100km:
This section of road was perhaps the toughest. Almost 60km on the hwy to nowhere and a block head wind to plow into on a false flat. When all put together it equalled a demoralising few hours. We both knew it was a big mental battle this section and made an extra effort to chat away about very important issues. It was during this period that we solved any more in depth personal issues we were facing and when riding under such torturous conditions the little issues you don't feel comfortable discussing normally all off a sudden seem not so bad to share with you mates. It always amazes me how sport can change your mood so we had a good old chin wag about whatever was bothering us to the town of st mary's. St mary's was a major land mark to pass as from there it was a decent to the coast and then a short run along to st helens and our half way point.
On the decent we struck our first mechanical. After 160km we finally hit a decent longer than a few hundred m's and we were plummeting down to the coast line when all of a sudden my front tyre blew out. I had 2 choices, crash or take my chances with on coming traffic and bee line it onto the opposite side of the road and come to a standstill in the ditch! I chose the other side of the road option and luckily no cars came around the corner. We took a deep breathe and ritchie just shook his head, we knew I was jolly lucky on that one! I repaired the tyre in the blink of an eye, infact the F1 mechanics would have been impressed and we were back on our way. Next up it was ritchie's turn to get a little hungry and after seeing me spring back to life on the back of my Iced coffee made an unscheduled stop for a similar pick me up. From there it was a short run along to st helens and half way and our lunch stop. When we pulled up I noticed my tyre was split so I went in search of a repair kit. I found one at the service station that contained enough patches to see me through my career so if anyone needs any patches for a ripped tyre send them my way! Ritchie organised lunch, a cheese and vegemite scroll while I repaired my tyre. We were certainly working well together.
Ritchie as me how I was feeling over lunch? I said awesome, I have convinced myself I have finished my first 190km training session and it was now time to start the 2nd 175km haul. Mentally its important for me not to think of it as 360km but merely ticking off check points. We had passed 2, the end of the hwy to nowhere and now the halfway point, next we making it to scottsdale, 100km away. Ritchie shrugged his shoulders in approval and we got back aboard our bikes. Everybody has there own way of dealing with these types of days and I am sure he did it differently.
3 100km:
During this section ritchie finally voiced a crazy idea we had both been thinking over. If we are going to ride 360km why not 400km?? Turth be told I was never going to let us stop before 400km but had been afraid to voice this suggestion. I had figured we make it to launceston then just keep trudging from there, first things first. Anyways ritchie is always one to speak his mind and said bugger it, we are definitely doing 400km. We will ride from dusk till dawn!! He rang his mum and informed her he would not be home for birthday dinner and that dilemma was now simply the plan. This 100km saw us enter some very hilly terrain and it was great to actually use some different muscles for a change. The trip to scottsdale seemed to fly by and before we knew it we were at 300km and slamming down yet another coke and iced coffee. This time we also threw a mars bar in the pocket as we set of on the 65km trek to launceston. Scottsdale is part of the cycling folklaw in the north of the state and ritchie probably rides through it 4 times per week. Consequently everybody at the IGA wanted to chat with the local star but were curious why he was there at 6pm?? When he said he had already done 300km they went from being star struck to simply in awe of there local star, it was also at this point I realised we still had 100km to go so was going to need to section it out very strategically!
4th 100km:
As we rolled out of scottsdale ritchie I have certainly never done the feared sidling climb with 10hrs in the pins before. We decided to cruise up but of course we didn't. While we went steady we knew once at the top we were pretty much home and hosed to launceston with predominantly down hill roads. As we crested the top ritchie simply said, "well I have certainly gone up there a lot slower than that". We dropped down the other side like stones and could smell launceston now less than 40km to go. Ritchie looked at me and said let's drop the hammer and we gave it some revs. We were both had a big spring in our step with the final climb behind us and the finish line insight. Ritchie even commented that all was going well and we were humming along. I simply said I am fixated on launceston and until I am there I don't want to think about how surprizingly fresh I felt. I had 11hrs on the clock, 330km and had averaged 230watts so we were really flicking along on. With that being said I did not want to relax and explained to ritchie it feels like I am having a good game of golf and I know but don't want to count my scorecard, that can wait until then end, don't count your chickens before they hatch!
With all the enthusiasm we barrelled toward launceston. We kept dropping the hammer and before we knew it we were in launceston and on the other side of in search of the final 40km to make up the magical 400km. First we had some logistics to organise and we both turned to our parents. I called my dad and asked him to bring an energy hit and please follow us to ensure we are safe on the road. It was now 8:30pm and we would definately be finishing this adventure in the dark. Dad arrived and we loaded up on coke for the final time and a few jelly snakes. The clock was at 12hrs 45min so we simply had 38km and 1hr of riding to hit our target. Since the 200km mark we had been dreaming of hamburgers from burgers got soul. These burgers are an absolut must eat if you visit launceston. Anyways our problem was it would be closed when we return so ritch now had to call his mum. We put our order in and now officially after being such big brave boys all day we had turned to our parents to nurse us and motivate us home. Dad led with the safety car and we rode with the fun and confidence and security that we would in a race.
In the final 10km we started to count our chickens! We could smell the finish line and knew we would make it. It was now pitch black but we were having an absolute ball. We could not believe we had pulled of this crazy challenge and felt a huge amount of satisfaction. We sprinted into launceston and straight for ritchies house and the burgers! Dad got sent via the bottle shop to pick a cascade for me and a boags for ritchie, the north v southern tas stable beers. Our diet during the day was certainly your usual race or hard training diet plan but hey it was ritchie's birthday! We had to have the party food and I must admit the biggest regret I have is that we didn't go the party pies and sausage rolls for lunch in st helens!
We had survived the journey. The funny thing was we could now admit to each other that all along we both wanted to hit 400km but were both scared to think out allowed and actually lay that down to early! The key to the day seemed to be the mind games with spacing the ride out into objective check points which were upon reflection pretty simple. Make it to the road to nowhere, stop at st helens for lunch, role along to scottsdale, charge into launceston, and finally an and back spin along the tamar river. I had convinced myself the final 40km were free km's as we would be so close to home that no matter what the body will keep going. And you know what, it really wasn't that hard a day. I did not feel anymore drained than I would after an actual hard training day. I am sure that seems strange but the power of the mind is pretty powerfull and I certainly realise that now as upon reflection if you told me to do what we did yesterday before we started I would have said impossible! Not because of capability but because it was so unknown. But like I said to ritchie on the sidling climb "if we always do what we have always done we will always get what we have always gotten"!
Looking forward to ritchie's birthday next year!

i have been spending quite a bit of time working while parking bikes lately. i'm, frankly, exhausted.
took this picture last night as i was parking bikes for a pride meet + mingle at el rio. considering the traffic eff ups yesterday, i have to say that bikes were the way to get around the bay yesterday.
after the traffic snafus, i noticed a bunch of frustrated, and thus aggro, drivers. needed to be extra careful in the saddle yesterday!
i'm gonna get some miles in as training for the marin century has started! but first...SLEEP! have a great weekend everyone!

thanks! it was so HOT. and i'm not talking san francisco hot (which is around 75 degrees F), i'm talking 100 degrees Fahrenheit and i got headaches, needed more water, got a sunburn, etc. no bueno! :)Delete
can't wait to do it again in cooler temps.
I was reading all about the AltRide day and how hot it was :-S Does not sound fun at all. I'm not good when it's too hot, but we're having the coldest summer I've ever known this year. I think you took our heat and added it to your own!ReplyDeleteReplies

It's 5:30 on Monday evening, and your 16-year-old son says he has four hours of homework to finish tonight — all due tomorrow. Can, or should, your son attend his 90-minute troop meeting at 7 p.m.? Who should make that decision?
Today's students are given more out-of-school assignments than ever, making it difficult for a young man or woman to keep all the plates spinning: school, sports, friends, student groups, religion, family, and — of course — Scouting.
It's tough on parents, too. So I asked our Facebook friends for guidance, and they provided some excellent insight. Here's a look at some of my favorite responses, categorized by the Scouter's general opinion on the matter:
School comes first. Period.
For several of you, this situation is pretty black and white.
- "School should come before Scouting. This shouldn't even be a question!" — Jeff K.
- "We never ask the Scouts to make the choice of school or Scouts. School always comes before Scouts. The troop can wait. Applying the squeeze at this point in their lives only serves to stress an already stressed boy." — Tracey L.
- "As both a parent and a den leader, homework comes first. Extracurricular activities are just that: extra. Good homework habits are learned at a very young age, and teaching your grade schooler to skip homework in order to go to Scouts is the same thing as teaching your future high schooler to skip homework to go to a sports game or school dance." — Audri T.
- "It is not at all uncommon for my high schoolers to have two-plus hours of homework on any given night. Scouts is important to us, but school takes priority." — Beverly S.
There's time for both.
Many of you said that there's no need to choose when both are so vital to a young person's growth.
- "I am high school junior in all honors and AP classes. I always make time for Boy Scout meetings and camps. It comes down to managing your time well and planning ahead." — Ryan L.
- "My Eagle Scout son, with four to six hours of IB homework, never missed a meeting. He may have had to come straight home from school/practice, went to homework, eat dinner, did homework, went to his meeting and came home and did homework … but he always made it happen." — Sharon L.
- "I agree with the parents that said that there is a balance. Educating our children is not just academics. It is also character building and preparing them to be strong men of character, and good citizens. This is very important. Scouting will help with this. So, in some ways, Scouting is part of school, not separate." — Jennifer D.
- "Kids know ahead of time when their projects and tests are, they should be able to get them done ahead of time." — J. David G.
Scouting shouldn't take a back seat.
While none of you said school doesn't matter, a few thought Scouts should be the priority.
- "I have two Eagle Scouts. They are both in college now. We put Scouts over homework on meeting night. Even most campouts. I did not pressure them to make all A's. They are much better men because of Scouts than school. Teachers get carried away with all the homework they give." — Jeannine P.
- "Our kids are not the fastest at getting their homework done, but I can't see that as a valid reason to miss a one-hour meeting. The change-up from homework can be a good rest and help motivate them when they get home. Learning is essential to progress, and that is not limited just to school work. I think kids learn just as much from Scouting, too." — Scott C.
One more good point.
Gerry M. offers a final thought: "Maybe they can sub the Xbox time for homework once in a while and still make the troop meeting!"
What's your opinion?
School first, Scouts first, or somewhere in between? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below.

How a Flood of Content Creates a Sense of Scarcity
Which is better? Who knows. Which is better value? You can't say. What you can say is if you wait, one option will disappear. You can think about it later. If you don't grab one of those widgets now, you might never be able to. Rewind the clock a few centuries and this principle helped build empires. Colonies halfway across the world from their motherlands discovered new flavours - spices, meats, vegetables and recipes never seen back home. What was their appeal? Were people that eager to eat something different? Yes, that's part of it. But it was viable to haul ingredients across the ocean because you could sell them for a fortune. At first at least, supplies were low. If you wanted to taste this exotic flavour, it would cost you. The rules of the economy have changed. These words aren't scarce.

Homemade Cough Syrup, Throat Spray and Cough Drops
This blog does not intend to provide diagnosis...
In this article:
Try these three recipes for homemade cough and sore throat relief.
Winter is on the way, and it brings all sorts of germs along with the colder weather. The common cold, influenza, and strep throat can all leave a person's throat dry, scratchy, and uncomfortable. Instead of paying a lot of money for over-the-counter cold remedies that may cause unwanted side effects or contain questionable ingredients, it is possible for someone to make homemade remedies that are just as effective as those found in the store.
Making cough syrup, cough drops, and throat sprays at home enables people to know exactly what is going into their bodies. There will be no need to worry about questionable ingredients, potential allergens, or bothersome side effects. Homemade remedies for coughs and sore throats cost practically nothing to make while offering the same benefits as their flashier, more expensive drugstore counterparts.
Homemade Cough Syrup
Homemade cough syrup is an ideal way to soothe a sore, irritated, and dry throat. It coats the lining of the throat, helping to reduce symptoms such as coughing and the resulting irritation. Cough syrup also helps relieve a sore throat that results from post-nasal drip. Most over-the-counter cough syrups contain dextromethorphan, which is a chemical cough suppressant. It can cause many unpleasant side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, and constipation or diarrhea. Therefore, many people prefer a more natural remedy.
This recipe includes olive oil, which reduces inflammation and helps coat the throat. The honey helps suppress coughing, especially the nagging type that keeps a person up at night and interferes with getting a good night's sleep. Any type of honey will do, but buckwheat honey is thought to be the most effective at reducing nighttime coughs in children. Lemon is the third ingredient in this homemade cough syrup. It contains vitamin C, which is a key booster of the immune system, reduces inflammation, and has antimicrobial properties.
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup raw buckwheat honey or your choice of honey
- juice from three freshly squeezed lemons
- Add all of these ingredients to a small pot. Turn the burner to a medium-heat setting. Slowly stir and heat until steaming. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Pour the liquid into a mason jar or other kind of jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store the cough syrup at room temperature on the countertop for up to one and a half months or in the refrigerator for up to three months. This recipe makes 32 servings.
For the best results, warm and stir the syrup before using. It should be taken at the first sign of a cold. This home remedy is also effective on coughs and sore throats that are triggered by seasonal allergies. Take 1 tablespoon as needed for coughing. This syrup is safe for children ages 6 months and older.
Homemade Throat Spray
A sore throat spray is another handy tool to have around for the inevitable cold and flu season. Homemade sore throat sprays are safe for children and adults. This spray is easy to use, and people can keep bottles of it at work to reduce the symptoms of an irritated throat after putting on a presentation or talking a lot in a meeting.
This spray not only soothes the discomfort of a sore throat, but it also helps to fight off the bacteria that live in the warm, wet throat environment and actually cause the inflammation. This recipe contains several essential oils, including lemon. This antioxidant oil has antibacterial properties and vitamin C. The peppermint essential oil reduces inflammation and also has antimicrobial effects. Eucalyptus essential oil is energizing and helps to eliminate bacteria from the throat. Clove essential oil helps to loosen mucus and provides a good flavor to the spray.
The raw honey coats the throat, reducing pain when swallowing. Raw apple cider vinegar provides antibacterial and antifungal properties to help prevent throat infections. The sea salt contains important trace minerals, which help to prevent dehydration and restore a proper electrolyte balance. Cayenne pepper brings a natural heat that assists the body with fighting off bacteria, and tea bags contain important antioxidants that help to flush out infections.
- 3/4 cup of water
- 2 bags Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat tea bags or your choice of tea
- 1 Tbs. raw buckwheat honey or your choice of honey
- 1 Tbs. sea salt
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- 2 Tbs. raw apple cider vinegar
- 4 drops lemon essential oil
- 2 drops peppermint essential oil
- 2 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 2 drops clove essential oil
- dark glass spray bottles
- Boil the water. Steep the tea bags in the water until the water is just above room temperature. Remove the tea bags and add the honey, sea salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are completely dissolved. The thick, raw honey may require whisking.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and essential oils. Use a funnel to pour the mixture into the dark glass spray bottles. The recipe makes about 100 servings of throat spray.
If the throat spray is being made for children, it is still effective with lower amounts of the essential oils. For a stronger throat spray for adults, add a few more drops of the oils. The dark glass spray bottles are needed in order to keep the essential oils active in the presence of light, which can degrade their antioxidant properties. This recipe makes 6 ounces of spray. Store it in the refrigerator for up to three months or in a dark, cool cabinet for up to a month and a half.
Shake the bottle before each use. This throat spray can be used daily during the cold and flu season as a preventive measure. It can also be used at the first sign of a sore throat. One serving is one push on the spray button.
Homemade Cough Drops
Homemade cough drops are another good way to soothe a sore throat. They are portable and can be packed into a small tin or container and taken along when traveling, going to work, or running errands. Not only do they taste good, but they also can relieve irritated, dry throats and quiet persistent coughs.
These drops contain raw honey, which reduces irritation and inflammation. Using raw honey that is locally harvested might also help to lessen symptoms in people that are allergic to pollen. This homemade remedy also includes cinnamon, which has been used in natural remedies for centuries and is known to reduce cold and flu symptoms.
The coconut oil in these drops is a healthy fat and contains lauric acid, which is an antiviral and antibacterial agent. It also boosts the immune system. Coconut oil provides a coating on the inflamed lining of the throat, which could help to lessen the pain when swallowing. This ingredient also mitigates the effects of a dry throat and reduces the frequency of coughing.
- 1/2 cup room temperature coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1 tsp. organic cinnamon
- Scoop the coconut oil into a mixer bowl and beat until it is whipped and fluffy. Add the honey and cinnamon and continue whipping until mixed.
- Pour the mixture into small ice cube trays. Freeze the drops in the trays until they are hard. This process takes about 20 minutes. Pop the cough drops out of the ice cube trays. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
These drops are safe for people ages 5 and older to use at the first sign of a sore throat, cough, or cold. This recipe yields 20 to 25 homemade cough drops.

"The more you can do ..."
Five words routinely tossed around draft rooms at this time of year. When every evaluator in the room has a similar grade on two different players, one player can elevate over the other if he provides a service outside of his original position. There is definitely added value if a prospect can contribute in multiple areas.
For instance, if two tight ends have similar skill sets as route runners, pass catchers and blockers, but one of them has some experience playing fullback ... That can be the difference. Here's another one: If two linebackers are identical players on first, second and third down, but one of them is an animal on special teams ... That is the deciding factor in separating the two players.
I've come up with a list of five high-profile prospects who will benefit from their ability to contribute in multiple ways. Obviously, there are dozens of other versatile players in this draft class, but these guys stood out during my evaluation process.
Tavon Austin, West Virginia: Running back, wide receiver, punt/kick returner
Austin is the most electric football player in this draft class and his versatility is a huge plus. He lined up at both wide receiver and running back for the Mountaineers, returning punts and kicks, as well. Austin finished his WVU career with an impressive 7,287 total yards. He should be able to contribute on all four downs during his rookie season.
Jesse Williams, Alabama: Defensive tackle, short-yardage fullback
Williams has a very unique background. He grew up in Australia, where he excelled as a rugby player. After arriving at Alabama, he became a stout run defender along the Crimson Tide's defensive line. He also contributed on the other side of the ball as a bruising short-yardage fullback. His drafting team would be wise to keep using him in both capacities.
Margus Hunt, SMU: Defensive lineman, kick blocker
Hunt is another player with an international background, having grown up in Estonia. He created quite a buzz with his performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, and there is some talk that he could be a surprise first-round pick. He is raw on tape, but boasts the rare size and quickness to play the five-technique in a 3-4 defense. He also has a unique skill set on special teams, as a prolific blocker of kicks. He blocked an incredible 17 kicks during his career at SMU. Think about all of the NFL games that are decided by a field goal or less. Hunt's ability to block field goals could be the difference in multiple games over a 16-game season.
Dion Jordan, Oregon: Defensive end, strongside linebacker, special teams
Jordan arrived at Oregon as a wide receiver before moving to tight end and eventually finding his way to the defensive side of the ball. He is insanely athletic and explosive on tape, but his greatest asset is his positional flexibility. Having lined up at both defensive end and outside linebacker for the Ducks, Jordan can put his hand in the dirt and rush the passer or match up with athletic tight ends all over the field. Also, in the earlier portions of his Oregon career, he was a terror on special teams units. His versatility is one of the main reasons why he's likely to hear his name called in the top 10 picks of the upcoming draft.
Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah, BYU: Multiple positions, special teams
No player has helped himself more than Ansah since the end of the college season. He put together a dominant performance in the Senior Bowl game and followed that up with an eye-opening showing at the combine. Teams are excited about his potential as a player, especially given his immense versatility. He played all over the field for BYU this past fall, lining up over centers, guards and tackles at different times. Some 3-4 teams feel like he's ideally suited to play defensive end, while others see him more as a stand-up outside linebacker. Teams that employ the 4-3 vary on whether or not he's best served playing outside or inside. His ability to play multiple spots is a huge reason for his rapid spring ascension. As a bonus, he's also one of the top coverage players on special teams in the entire draft.

Linebacker Ray Lewis made his return from a torn right triceps Sunday, and after he performed what was probably the most anticipated pre-game dance in football history, he quickly made a dent on the stat sheet.
In Baltimore's 24-9 win over Indianapolis, Lewis made a game-high 13 tackles, nine of the solo variety. Only fellow graybeard London Fletcher of the Washington Redskins made more tackles during wild card weekend. Lewis made a tackle for a loss early in the game, and he was also credited with a pass defended when he dropped what should have been an easy interception of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck in the second quarter.
If Lewis sat out a snap, I didn't see it, and throwing him out there for the final kneel-down in the victory formation was a nice gesture by Ravens coach John Harbaugh. The emotional impact of Lewis' return is impossible to quantify, as is the value of his leadership, but overall, the Ravens defense played well with Lewis back on the field. They pummeled Luck, kept the Colts out of the end zone and forced two turnovers.
But how well did Lewis play individually in his return to action?
According to the guys over at Pro Football Focus, Lewis was the team's lowest graded defender Sunday. They gave him positive grades on just two plays, and their overall grades suggested that he struggled against both the run and the pass. They said Lewis allowed four first downs in coverage -- and it would have been five if not for a dropped pass. Of course, these grades are subjective, but Pro Football Focus is a reliable and respected stats website.
"He's done a lot for the Ravens organization and it can't be easy for him coming back from an injury that should have ended his season. But please, let's not kid ourselves in believing that he played well," wrote PFF's Khaled Elsayed, who noted that many of those 13 tackles came when the Colts left Lewis unblocked.
They did credit the 13-time Pro Bowler with a team-high five stops.
All that said, Lewis, who tore his triceps back in Week 6, played a little better than what I expected considering the 37-year-old hadn't played in three months and had a bulky brace stabilizing his right arm. It was unrealistic to expect to see the 27-year-old Ray Lewis.
"I thought he played exceptionally well. It's always funny to hear people say, 'Well, he's not the same that was 10 years ago.' Well, who is? None of us," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after the game, scanning a room filled with athletically-past-their-prime sportswriters and reporters. "But he's found different ways to play the game and play it so well. He's still a great football player."

Red Hat pitches open source mobile phone OS
Not Linux for 3G
Red Hat is to pitch an open source operating system at smartphones manufacturers - but it won't be Linux. In partnership with 3G Lab, it'll tweak the embedded Cygnus OS (eCos) for use in 3G devices under the name eCos/M3.
Red Hat acquired Cygnus, the veteran software libre tools specialist, eighteen months ago. The Cambridge, England-based 3G Lab provides a test bed and development environment for 3G, and we first ran into them late last year as they were about to unveil the first open source WAP gateway and SMS server Alligata.
So on the face of it, the 2.5G/3G business is a lot more open, particularly after Motorola last week announced that it would license its 2.5G and 3G crown jewels to no name manufacturers, a move that promises to commodities the smartphone business.
But realistically, eCos/M3 will have a mountain to climb, particularly starting so late.
With seven hundred of the finest engineers drawn from Nokia, Motorola and Psion's old software division, it's taken Symbian three years to deliver its first open phone the Nokia 9210 communicator. And that's starting with a base OS (Psion's old Epoc) that was already mature.
Why so long? A clue's in the amount of code packed into the 9210, which not only consumes most of the 8 MB of flash in the device but spills over to take up much of the 16 MB MMC too. While no one can call Epoc bloatware - it uses objects aggressively and native apps are tiny - there's much more to a smartphone (and the 9210 is 2G GSM technology) than a base Os.
So to provide a compelling proposition for a cellphone manufacturer, the package needs packet data, Bluetooth and infra red stacks, a Java VM, and probably support for streaming media too.
"Extreme schedule pressures and diverse product requirements force embedded product developers to develop their own run-time software technologies," acknowledges er, ... Red Hat in its eCos marketing backgrounder. Indeed.
And as you'd expect, with so much of the leading phone companies R&D invested in creating the Symbian platform, it's streets ahead of offering manufacturers this kind of time to market advantage. From here, it's impossible to see another single platform such as Microsoft's Stinger overtaking Symbian's lead and mindshare. But equally it's possible to see Symbian not winning, with recession-hit and debt-laden cellphone manufacturers choosing to develop their own in-house proprietary 2G operating systems and opting for Java as a common development environment.
In which case, eCos/M3 doesn't really help the manufacturers too much. However it could serve as a wake-up call to the Symbian partners, who to their shame, don't really treat non-Windows platforms any better than Microsoft. It's still not possible to develop Symbian apps on Linux, or even get your Symbian phone to talk to a Mac or Linux desktop PC. And that's terrible. ®

What happens when you put a high-powered rifle round through a PlayStation 4? Pretty much what you'd expect.
11 Minutes Of Cozy Railway Planning In Station To Station
I figured the gun-toting madmen at Rated RR would take on the PlayStation 4, but maybe not quite so soon—the thing isn't even out yet! But hey, if you've got a console and you've got a huge gun… might as well put 'em together and see what happens.
This video starts out a bit disappointingly, but then… well, keep watching. Things get more destructive in a hurry.

There's no killing talk of Peyton Manning's legacy now
There's no avoiding the talk now, no matter what John Elway says.
We're about to have an entire offseason to discuss Peyton Manning's legacy.
Manning broke a Super Bowl record for completions when he hit 33, and he finished 34-of-49 for 280 yards. But ultimately, his night was a disaster, with two interceptions in Denver's 43-8 loss in Super Bowl XXXVIII.
That's going to trigger months and months of discussion of what it means in a historical context, such that it's an important question to ask.
When Manning is finished, he'll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and the discussion won't take a minute. His individual accomplishments are brilliant beyond description.
But he's made it easy on his critics with his 11-12 playoff record, which includes eight one-and-done appearances.
Until or unless he adds a second title, there will be those who consider him behind the Tom Bradys and Joe Montanas and Steve Youngs and Terry Bradshaws of the world, though his individual brilliance as a passer exceeds theirs.
While it might not be a completely fair criticism, since he's one of 11 on the field for the Broncos, it's one he invited upon himself, with postseason performances that never matched those in the regular season.

Cuba faces vast land losses as sea levels rise
Cuba risks losing a vast stretch of beach front homes and pristine coastal habitat by 2050, because of rapidly rising sea levels, a top environmental official warned Thursday.
At a panel discussion on Cuban environmental policy, Tomas Escobar, director of the island's National Environment Agency, said rising oceans could submerge huge areas of the Caribbean island, with potentially devastating consequences.
The changes "could affect ecosystems, increase the vulnerability of coastal settlements, reduce agricultural soil productivity, crops and forestry and reduce the quality and availability of water," the Prensa Latina news agency quoted Escobar as saying.
"At the current rate of increase in sea level, by 2050 we will have lost nearly 2,700 square kilometers of land area and 9,000 homes," he said.
Cuba has an area of 109,884 square kilometers (42 square miles), and more than 5,700 kilometers (3,500 miles) of coastline that includes everything from steep cliffs to sandy beaches to swamps.
Escobar said President Raul Castro's government had established a policy to try and mitigate the effects of rising sea levels, centered on "the goal of reducing vulnerabilities identified in disaster prevention studies."
Policy priorities include the conservation and rehabilitation of coastal ecosystems, including the island's coral reefs, mangroves and beaches.

"Rydey! I'm ready!" Rosalina yelled from down the hall.
I shook my head, making my way to her room. I watched as she jumped on her bed— a bedtime ritual she did to make her bed fluffier, or so she believed.
"I'm gonna be six tomorrow! I can marry Rydey!" she sang.
I blushed, trying to ignore the increase in my heart rate. "Who said you can marry me when you're six?" I asked.
"Kadey! He said I can marry whoever I want as long as he said it was okay. So, I claimed you!" She pointed at me as she jumped up and down.
"And he's fine with me being your husband?"
"Yup. He said as long as you treat me right and beat Xavier in arm wres-wresssss- the arm game," she announced.
"I can't beat Xavier in arm wrestling. He's a pro."
She stopped jumping looking devastated. "So…we can't get married?" she asked, her eyes beginning to grow glossy.
I lifted my hands in defense, shaking my head. "We can! I'll beat him! Just gonna take me some time to train my arm strength."
"YEAH! I'm gonna marry Rydey, he's gonna be my prince and knight!" she sang, returning to jumping on her bed.

The Emily Dickinson Archive makes manuscripts of Dickinson's poetry, along with transcriptions and annotations from scholarly editions, available in open access—inspiring new scholarship and discourse on this literary icon. Visit EDA »
Seamus Heaney, Denis Donoghue, William Pritchard, Marilyn Butler, Harold Bloom, and many others have praised Helen Vendler as one of the most attentive readers of poetry. Here, Vendler turns her illuminating skills as a critic to 150 selected poems of Emily Dickinson. As she did in The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets, she serves as an incomparable guide, considering both stylistic and imaginative features of the poems.
In selecting these poems for commentary Vendler chooses to exhibit many aspects of Dickinson's work as a poet, "from her first-person poems to the poems of grand abstraction, from her ecstatic verses to her unparalleled depictions of emotional numbness, from her comic anecdotes to her painful poems of aftermath." Included here are many expected favorites as well as more complex and less often anthologized poems. Taken together, Vendler's selection reveals Emily Dickinson's development as a poet, her astonishing range, and her revelation of what Wordsworth called "the history and science of feeling."
In accompanying commentaries Vendler offers a deeper acquaintance with Dickinson the writer, "the inventive conceiver and linguistic shaper of her perennial themes." All of Dickinson's preoccupations—death, religion, love, the natural world, the nature of thought—are explored here in detail, but Vendler always takes care to emphasize the poet's startling imagination and the ingenuity of her linguistic invention. Whether exploring less familiar poems or favorites we thought we knew, Vendler reveals Dickinson as "a master" of a revolutionary verse-language of immediacy and power. Dickinson: Selected Poems and Commentaries will be an indispensable reference work for students of Dickinson and readers of lyric poetry.

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Wildlife activists urged the Cayman Islands on Thursday to permanently halt the farming of green sea turtles at a popular government-owned tourist attraction that has released thousands of juveniles into the sea and harvests some for meat.
The Florida-based Sea Turtle Conservancy joined the London-headquartered World Society for the Protection of Animals in a campaign to stop the Cayman Turtle Farm from farming green sea turtles, which is an endangered species that when fully grown can weigh 700 pounds (317 kilograms).
Conservancy director David Godfrey said in a statement that "it's time to turn things around" at the roughly 40-year-old facility, which features captive breeding and research areas along with a lagoon where visitors can swim with sea turtles, "touch tanks" where children can pick up young turtles, and the biggest swimming pool on Grand Cayman. It touts itself as the British Caribbean island's premier wedding destination.
The turtle farm, bought by the Cayman government in 1983, says it carefully follows internationally accepted and humane animal husbandry practices. More than 31,000 yearlings have been released into the wild, it says. The farm has agreed to be independently evaluated in December.
Over the years, thousands of tourists have flocked to the coastal facility in West Bay to watch tagged, captive-bred turtles getting released into the sea.
"Despite the lack of evidence that the turtle release program actually benefits the wild population, countless individuals around the world are led to believe that the program works and that it is a successful option for saving and restoring wild sea turtle numbers," said Godfrey, who contends the facility's captive turtles can spread genetic complications and diseases to wild populations.
The Sea Turtle Conservancy's call comes more than two months after nearly 300 juvenile green sea turtles died at the facility in the Cayman Islands, where turtle steaks, fritters and soups are on local menus and the delicacy is considered part of the islands' heritage. The farm, which had a total of some 5,000 turtles in January 2011, said the creatures died after a water line broke and reduced the water supply to several tanks.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals recently released a video and photographs purporting to show turtles in overcrowded, dirty tanks at the Cayman Turtle Farm. The group maintains that some of the sea turtles have resorted to cannibalism in their enclosures.
The turtle farm said it has methodically maintained the health and wellbeing of its turtles through established veterinarian treatment. It insists it has found no basis for what it called "sensational allegations" and remains focused on operating a unique tourism attraction that supports research and conservation of sea turtles.
It also disputes the conservancy's accusations that the turtle release program endangers wild populations by spreading disease and genetic problems. Some 150 research papers support its conservation efforts, and there have been increased numbers of adult female turtles returning to Cayman's beaches to nest, the facility says.
Last year, about 10 percent of the farm's total herd of turtles was harvested for meat. The facility is the only legal source of turtle meat in the Cayman Islands and such sales are designed to undercut illegal poaching.

LAMBSWOOL in balls, 50 g | ORANGE/RED/BROWN SHADES
Marzipan | lambswool
KNITTING YARN | Lambswool with unique color games
My yarn is spun in Scotland and my spinning coined the term "Super Soft". The secret Supersoft is in the wool composition. Wool softness due to the wool from the lamb's first shearing, providing the ultimate in softness and luxurious quality.
This is the finer and more expensive wool which gives the clothes it's exceptional high quality without losing the special character of Shetland wool. Despite the fact that the term "Super Soft" is copied by many spinners over the years - there's no - there can match the original Supersofts quality and colors. 131 beautiful colours!
High end 4 ply Supersoft lambswool from Scotland
Needle size 3.0 mm for plain knitting
28 sts to 36 rows = 10 cm square
The wool is ring spun which is "woolen spinning" (not the same as worsted).
The wool is dyed "loose stock", before being blended with other colours of wool to make the heather melange shades.
The wool is unwashed, and it is therefore recommended to wash the finished project after finishing.

Maven/Parent POM
eclipse-parent pom
Following the foot steps of many other open source projects that use maven, the Eclipse community has created a base parent pom that all eclipse projects hosted at the foundation are encouraged to inherrit from.
The parent pom, contains standard information like the location of the issue tracking system, the license, and continus build management location.
Also included are several profiles that projects can use during their builds.
To use this parent pom, your project's parent must specify the following entry:
<parent> <groupId>org.eclipse</groupId> <artifactId>eclipse-parent</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </parent>
Your project should also be using the settings.xml file during your build. Projects can copy the settings.xml into their source control management system, and then specify the -s option to specify the location of the settings.xml to use during your build:
mvn clean install -s settings.xml
The above assumes the settings.xml resides in the same location as your parent pom. The settings.xml contains the repository locations for the maven.eclipse.org, and also makes sure your build uses maven.eclipse.org for any requests that would normally go to maven central.
There are several static code analysis profiles that can be used by a project. To enable a profile, specify the -P option.
The analysis profile enables the PMD duplicate code detector and FindBugs to run during your builds. These will output an XML file that can be read by Hudson and displayed. Note that depending on the size of your project, FindBugs can take a while to run. It also depends on the number of possible bugs that finds. The static code analysis profile uses the default FindBugs profile, and the default pmd copy paste detector profiles.
mvn clean install -Panalysis
Checkstyle is another static code analysis tool but focusing more on coding style, missing headers, duplicate code, javadoc, etc. Several eclipse projects have profiles for their projects, and these can be used during a build to report how well the team is keeping up with following those agreed conventions. The default profile uses the Sun coding style checks.
mvn clean install -Pcheckstyle
There are a couple of profiles for those that need to deploy maven artifacts during Juno to maven.eclipse.org. You will need deployment rights to maven.eclipse.org in order to use these profiles.
- eclipse-milestone-juno - released versions of milestones for projects to use
- eclipse-nightly-juno - snapshots for use by projects

This is the sixth of eight stories in our Web feature on self-experimenters.
When Seth Roberts began suffering from insomnia in the early 1980s, waking up tired in the morning only to nod off again within a few hours, he could easily have taken sleeping pills for relief. But that would have deprived the Berkeley, Calif., experimental psychologist the satisfaction of spending the next decade trying to solve the problem himself.
Roberts, you see, is a die-hard experimentalist, and his favorite experimental subject is himself. For the past three decades, he has deliberately tinkered with his daily routine, slowly introducing one small change after another in his diet and other habits, all the while keeping careful track of the effects on his state of being—specifically, his weight, mood or sleep cycle. Although he hasn't convinced everyone that his methods are up to snuff, his bestselling book suggests someone is paying attention.
Roberts, 54, discovered his inner lab rat as a graduate student in psychology at Brown University in Providence, R.I., where he had to figure out how to design experiments on actual rodents. He found that practicing on himself was quick and easy, starting with his acne. By counting his blemishes daily, he discovered that a prescription cream cleared his complexion, allowing him to toss the antibiotics he had also been taking.
So began a life of systematic trial and error. To cure his insomnia, he tried exercise, calcium and adjusting the settings on fluorescent lamps near his bed. "I came to realize how ignorant I was," says Roberts, whose day job was studying rat learning at the University of California, Berkeley. On October 2, 1993, thinking that his choice of breakfast might play a role, he tried delaying his morning meal until 11 A.M. to get a baseline reading. Within a week the problem that had plagued him for years was gone. He resumed eating breakfast at 7 A.M. more than three months later, and his insomnia was back the next day.
A 2004 paper published in Behavioral and Brain Sciences set out the data behind the unexpected breakfast effect along with nine other findings from self-experiments. Among them: an hour of morning sunlight made his sleep even more restorative; so did being on his feet for nine hours a day. Watching faces on television talk shows early in the morning elevated his mood the following day—he guesses it reflects an ingrained response to social contact. (He has since switched to watching himself in the mirror, to see if any face will do.)
His weightiest finding, so to speak, was that he could regulate his appetite by drinking unflavored fructose water between meals. He dropped 35 pounds (16 kilograms) in this way from a starting weight of 185 (84 kilograms), then gained 10 of them back because friends said he looked gaunt. Later he found that a couple of tablespoons of flavorless vegetable oil worked equally well. Roberts put forth his theory of weight loss in a slim volume called The Shangri-La Diet, which cracked The New York Times Best Sellers list in 2006. On his Web site, he invites readers of his book to share what worked for them and what didn't.
Skeptics abound. Experimenters who test ideas on themselves may be biased to produce the result they expect to see, says David Katz, an internist and associate professor adjunct at Yale School of Public Health. The kind of self-experimentation that inspired Roberts's diet "doesn't reach the ground floor of evidence" for the general population, he says.
Whatever its limitations, Roberts, now professor emeritus at U.C. Berkeley and working on his second book, says self-experimentation is an easy way to generate new ideas. He sees nothing unusual in the practice. He's recently begun testing whether oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish and eggs) improve his reaction time and balance [see image]. "Everybody makes these little tweaks in their life," he says. "The simplest, easiest thing will probably have something to teach you."
You might want to clear it with your doctor first, though.

Mack Brown: 'Alabama is ahead of all of us' on deregulation rules
The NCAA's decision to adopt looser recruiting rules last month was soon met with organized opposition from Big Ten athletic directors and coaches.
The Big Ten wasn't alone in expressing concerns over the recruiting deregulation, which would lift many restrictions on contacting recruits, as well as who could do the contacting. Texas coach Mack Brown also claimed the new rules, which would go into effect on Aug. 1, "went a little too far."
The adopted rules would need 75 override requests to be sent back to the Board of Directors for reconsideration. Still, Alabama wasted no time preparing as though all systems are go on the deregulation front, hiring former Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele as the program's director of player personnel, as well as two directors of player development.
"Alabama is ahead of all of us with the number of personnel they've hired, and that's something that everybody's looking very closely at," Brown said Thursday, adding that the Longhorns have also posted a position for a director of player personnel.
"I think you're going to see this many people that can work with football, and there is not a limit right now on analyst or quality control guys. I think you'll see a limit put on that in the future; just my opinion. But right now, there's not one."

Liberals Dare Trump to Back Their Bills Lowering Drug Prices
WASHINGTON — Challenging President Donald Trump to make good on his pledge to cut prescription drug prices, congressional liberals proposed legislation Thursday to bring U.S. prices in line with the much lower costs in other countries.
The Democratic bills stand little chance of becoming law in a divided government. But the effort could put Republicans on the defensive by echoing Trump's pledge to force drugmakers to cut prices.
The Trump administration has put forward its own plan for reducing drug prices, but industry analysts have seen little impact so far. The pharmaceutical industry said the Democratic bills would "wreak havoc on the U.S. health care system."
What the Bills Would Do
The new legislation was offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and others. Cummings leads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is expected to take a major role on drug pricing.
The lawmakers want to:
— Open up generic competition to patent-protected U.S. brand-name drugs that are deemed "excessively priced."
— Allow Medicare to directly negotiate with drugmakers.
— Let consumers import lower-priced medications from Canada.
There was no immediate response from the administration.
"Today I say to President Trump, if you are serious about lowering the cost of prescription drugs in this country, support our legislation and get your Republican colleagues on board," Sanders said at a Capitol Hill press conference.
"No more talk. No more tweets," said Cummings. "The American people want action."
Holly Campbell, a spokeswoman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, said Sanders' plan would harm U.S. patients. The industry argues that government price regulation could limit access to some medicines, undermine financial incentives for research, and compromise safety standards. Sanders says drugmakers are primarily interested in protecting profits.
As a presidential candidate, Trump initially called for Medicare to negotiate drug prices and favored allowing people to legally import lower-priced medications from abroad.
But Medicare negotiation is a political nonstarter for most Republicans, who favor a free-market approach to the U.S. pharmaceutical industry and prize its capacity for innovation.
President Trump's Plan
As president, Trump has come out with a plan to lower drug costs that relies on dozens of regulatory actions. The goal is to eliminate incentives for drugmakers, pharmacy benefit managers and insurers to stifle competition at the expense of consumers. Independent experts say the administration proposals would have an impact, but not limit the ability of drug companies to set high prices.
Time and again, Trump has complained that other countries where governments set drug prices are taking advantage of Americans. Indeed, one of his ideas would shift Medicare payments for drugs administered in doctors' offices to a level based on international prices.
"We are taking aim at the global freeloading that forces American consumers to subsidize lower prices in foreign countries through higher prices in our country," the president said when he made that proposal shortly before last year's congressional elections.
High-Priced Drugs Would Face Generic Competition
The Democratic bills would go far beyond Trump's approach.
The newest idea would essentially apply to any U.S. patent-protected brand-name drug, whether or not government programs are bearing the cost. By comparison, Trump's international pricing proposal would not apply to retail pharmacy drugs purchased by Medicare beneficiaries or to medications for privately insured people. It's the result of a joint effort between Sanders and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.
Drugs found to be "excessively priced" by the government could face generic competition. A medication's cost would be deemed "excessive" if its price in the U.S. was higher than the median, or midpoint, price in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan.
If the manufacturer was unwilling to cut its U.S. price, then the government could allow generic companies to make a more affordable version of the medication. Generic drugmakers would have to pay "reasonable" royalties to the company holding the patent.
