Tip Sheet: Saints, Steelers preaching takeaways
In a 2011 season in which a record 10 quarterbacks amassed over 4,000 passing yards each, clubs combined for the highest per-game scoring average in the Super Bowl era (44.3 points per contest) and a lot of stadium scoreboards were all but transformed into tote boards.
There was a corollary effect on the other side of the football as well.
League defenses, obviously, surrendered the most points per game in nearly 50 years. Quarterbacks went down a little less, but their collective accuracy was way up, to record levels, in fact. Ball possession was emphasized at all the skill position spots. Time of possession for offenses crept up a bit and there were instances in which there was an offensive parade up and down the field.
And, maybe a bit less conspicuously, defensive takeaways were reduced by more than 5 percent over the previous year.
It's not all that unusual when takeaways go down. In six of the past 10 seasons, interceptions and fumble recoveries dropped from their totals of the year before, sometimes even more precipitously than in 2011. And the 810 turnovers generated by defenses represented only the second lowest total -- the 2008 campaign had just 793 takeaways -- in a decade. But in a few of the precincts, the early word from summer training camps is that the decline in takeaways is being treated as a serious matter, indeed, one that several head coaches and defensive coordinators have made it a significant priority to address.
Five franchises that did not change their head coaches for 2012 either switched their defensive coordinators for the coming season or at least diminished the autonomy of their defensive boss. And that doesn't count New Orleans, where the controversial Gregg Williams departed for St. Louis and a reunion with longtime friend Jeff Fisher even before his "Bountygate" indefinite suspension, but where there were solid indications he made hit exit only a step ahead of the posse and would have been replaced anyway. Coincidence or not, there has been fallout over the epidemic shortcomings of defenses in 2011, and the inability to pry the ball away from offenses clearly is a factor.
"One of the things we always prided ourselves on," acknowledged Saints' free safety Malcolm Jenkins, "was getting the ball for our offense or scoring points ourselves. But that definitely was missing (in 2011)."
Maybe with an eye toward the bounty allegations, some jaded cynics might contend the Saints were perhaps too busy attempting to collect illicit bonuses, and fretted less about takeaways.
But there is, of course, no evidence suggesting any connection between trying to knock a quarterback's block off and wanting to pick him off. Or of separating a running back from some body parts and separating him from the ball. What can't be denied, though, is this: When New Orleans won the Super Bowl to complete the 2009 season, the defense recorded 39 takeaways and scored nine times in the regular season. It became a regular sight to see a Saints' defender scooping up a loose ball and cavorting into the end zone.
Over the ensuing two years, however, the Saints have 41 takeaways and five defensive touchdowns.
The defense produced only 16 takeaways in 2011, the second fewest in the league, and tallied just two touchdowns. The 16 takeaways were the second fewest ever for a Williams-coordinated defense. Just the 2006 Washington Redskins, who collected a paltry dozen takeaways under Williams' stewardship, managed fewer.
"For whatever reason, we just weren't making the (big) plays that we have in other years," said cornerback Jabari Greer, who this week underwent surgery for a sports hernia and will miss some time in camp. "It wasn't for a lack of aggressiveness, that's for sure. (The ball) just didn't come our way. And when it did, we didn't latch onto it. The (Williams) defense has always been about taking ii away. We didn't get it done last season. To have our kind of defense, and be a negative (in takeaway/turnover differential) shouldn't happen."
The differential number -- a team's defensive takeaways versus the number of times its offense coughs up the ball via interception or lost fumble -- has long been a solid indicator of success in the league. There have been just five teams with negative turnover ratios that advanced to the playoffs since 2007. Still, defenders and defensive coordinators emphasized that they have no sway over what transpires on the offensive side, one-half of the differential component.
Said one veteran defensive coordinator: "Most of the time, you're not even watching your offense when it's on the field, much less have anything to do with the way that it plays. You take care of the things you can control. And (takeaways) is one of those things that you can generate, right?"
In his dozen seasons as a coordinator, Williams' defenses have averaged over 25 takeaways and four times produced 30 or more. That's why the "down" season in 2011 was so surprising. But former free safety Darren Sharper -- whose 63 career interceptions are tied for the sixth most in history, who scored three touchdowns for the Saints on interception returns in 2009, and who could be a Hall of Fame candidate at some point in the future -- noted that with quarterbacks getting rid of the ball quicker, takeaways are harder than ever.
And, in some cases, offenses simply catch up to longtime defensive schemes.
"There's probably some luck involved, too, but usually good pressure forces the turnovers," Sharper said. "But the ball's coming out fast, quarterbacks have been increasingly accurate ... and (ballcarriers) are probably more aware of taking care of the ball. You can plan all you want (as a defense), but turnovers happen for a lot of reasons. And they don't happen for a lot of reasons, too. And last season, they didn't happen as much."
And not just in New Orleans.
There were seven defenses, an unusually high number, that each generated fewer than 20 takeaways in 2011. The cumulative record of those teams was just 51-61. Remarkably, three of the teams made the playoffs, and Pittsburgh and the Saints won 12 and 13 games, respectively. Still, there was something missing from the defenses of the two teams, players said, and that was the takeaway factor.
One of the playoff teams with fewer than 20 takeaways was Denver, which had 18 under former coordinator Dennis Allen, now the Oakland head coach. One of the early priorities under new coordinator Jack Del Rio, some Broncos' defenders said this week, was producing more takeaways.
The average number of takeaways for playoff teams over the past five seasons is 28.8. The Steelers had barely half that number, just 15, during a 2011 season in which they nonetheless led the league statistically in defense.
"Most of the (metrics) indicate we were a good defense," veteran Steelers' left cornerback Ike Taylor said. "But a big part of our game is creating opportunities for our offense with (takeaways). And we didn't do that."
Pittsburgh, in fact, managed only four fumbles recoveries, and only the Miami Dolphins had fewer. The recoveries were the fewest by the Steelers since 1945. But the defense simply didn't take the ball away in general. In 13 of its 17 games (counting the overtime playoff loss at Denver), Pittsburgh had either one or zero takeaways. No Steelers' defender had more than three takeaways.
"The game," said strong safety Troy Polamalu, who had two interceptions and a fumble recovery in 2011, "is about (possessing) the ball. You can't score without it, on either side, without the ball. Getting the football is (imperative)."
When it came to pirating the ball away from opponents, though, the Pittsburgh defense was impotent in 2011. Historically so, in fact, at least as it pertains to coordinator Dick LeBeau, one of the most respected men in the game. In his 22 seasons as a coordinator, LeBeau's units have averaged 29.5 takeaways per year, eight times had more than 30, twice registered 40 or more. In 2010, just one season before the '11 drought, the Steelers compiled 35 takeaways.
And then came last season, a performance that perplexed Pittsburgh defenders, and one that they have set out to reverse.
"Turnovers come in bunches," Polamalu told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this week. "(But) last year, there were no bunches. Hopefully, this year, we can seize on the opportunities we have to make interceptions, fumbles, whatnot."
The Steelers are hardly the only team thinking that way.
"We've got to get back to being us this year," Jenkins said. "And that means creating a lot more takeaways."
--Around the League--
*Back in March, at the annual league meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., The Sports Xchange was one of several media outlets to report on the near giddiness of NFL owners when baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers were sold for $2 billion to a group that includes NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.
At the time, veteran consultant Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based SportsCorp, acknowledged that several league owners "are smiling right now."
Those smiles probably grew some on Thursday. Randy Lerner agreed to sell the Cleveland Browns to Knoxville, Tenn., businessman Jimmy Haslam III for roughly $1 billion, including an initial investment of $700 million. But the 10-figure price tag didn't quite have owners dancing in the streets. Almost, but not quite.
"When you look at the valuation of the Browns," one AFC owner said, "it's not altogether outlandish."
True enough, in the latest Forbes Magazine ranking of NFL franchises, Cleveland's worth was pegged at $977 million in a league where 15 franchises were gauged at $1 billion or better. So maybe the AFC owner is correct.
A billion bucks for the Browns might not be too far out of line.
The owner noted that the bigger test will come when some teams that were much lower rated than the Browns -- like the Buffalo Bills, when owner Ralph Wilson passes on -- are sold. The Bills, who likely will enter into an estate trusteeship upon Wilson's death, and who won't stay in the family, were value at $792 million by Forbes.
"When you see a team like that, in the $800 million range, go for a billion dollars, then that will really be something," the owner said.
The league's newest approved owner, Shahid Khan of Jacksonville, purchased the Jaguars for about $760 million, after they were valued at $725 million.
Of course, the NFL club with the highest valuation is Dallas, at $1.85 billion. The average value price in the league is $1.04 billion. So, in essence, while $1 billion is a ton of money for anything, Haslam purchased the Browns for roughly the average.
*Pittsburgh coaches and officials definitely aren't making as big a deal out of the "small tear" in the rotator cuff of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's pitching arm as was a good part of the national media this week.
Just a couple days before Roethlisberger announced the tear to the world, both an offensive assistant and a high-ranking Steelers' official told The Sports Xchange that the quarterback was throwing the ball with impressive velocity and accuracy in the early stages of camp.
The injury actually occurred early in November, and while it prompted some degree of discomfort for Roethlisberger -- who hurt the arm reaching for the goal line in a physical game against the Ravens -- there was no appreciable effect on his arm strength or efficiency. People within the Pittsburgh organization don't anticipate any difference this season.
While there has been some low-level discussion about having the tear repaired at some point -- a few people pointed out that the injury is as much an impingement as a tear and that many quarterbacks probably have what is known in the business as a "thrower's tear" -- there are no formal plans for that.
Roethlisberger has probably thrown a little less in camp this summer than in the past, but that's more a concession to age (he turned 30 in March) than the rotator cuff tear. The Steelers don't have Roethlisberger on a strict "pitch count" as do some teams (like Atlanta with Matt Ryan) with their quarterbacks in camp.
Roethlisberger is somewhat calculatingly candid about injuries -- remember his contention about broken toes, which upset former coach Bill Cowher, a few years ago -- but this latest proclamation seemed to just be an honest response, not an embellishment. For now, at least, the national media appears far more concerned with the rotator cuff status than do the folks in the team's Latrobe, Pa., training camp.
*One element with which Roethlisberger, and some other quarterbacks, will have to contend this season might be the seeming increase in emphasizing the screen pass by many clubs.
New coordinators in Pittsburgh (Todd Haley) and Atlanta (Dirk Koetter) have been fairly outspoken about using their running backs more as receivers in 2012, and about increasing screen opportunities. The return of Josh McDaniels as coordinator in New England, after a two-year absence, should increase the number of screen passes for the Patriots, who had gotten away from the play a bit.
Look for McDaniels to pick the brains of New Orleans officials some next week when the Pats and Saints practice together. The Saints, of course, are one of the best screen-pass teams in the league, and their screen repertoire is extensive.
"It takes some getting used to," allowed Ryan, who, under former coordinator Mike Mularkey, probably threw fewer screens than any quarterback in the league over the past four years. "It's a great weapon, but it's probably harder than a lot of people think."
Roethlisberger agreed with the assessment, and cited the timing involved with being accurate on a play most fans consider easy because of the short length of the throw.
"It takes really good timing; that's the big thing," Roethlisberger said. In the past five seasons, the Steelers have completed more than 60 passes to their backs just once.
The ramped-up emphasis on the screen also means a mental adjustment of sorts for guys, like Roethlisberger and Ryan, more accustomed to throwing the ball down the field. A key part of Roethlisberger's game -- and one of the reasons he annually ranks among the NFL leaders in yards per attempt, having been above 8.0 yards in four of his seven seasons with more than 12 starts -- is extending plays and attempting to get the ball downfield to his wideouts.
Haley wants him to dump the ball more, no small task for a guy who has never had a back catch more than 40 passes in his time as the Pittsburgh starter, and take advantage of players like rookie Chris Rainey, who can make tacklers miss in space.
*There are still nearly nine months to go before the 2013 draft, but scouts have been kept busy, not just by the early assessments of potential prospects, and the annual meetings of the combine groups, but also by a spate of offseason incidents.
Two examples: The attack this week on Wisconsin running back Montee Ball, and a vandalism incident involving Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray.
"It never stops ... but this year, we've really had some checking up (to do)," lamented an area scout for one club. "You've got to be diligent on this (stuff)."
Ball is one of the premier running back prospects in the '13 draft class right now, although the scouts want to do some work on his quickness numbers.
Bray is part of the second-tier group of passers, but could still merit first-round consideration. Suffice it to say, there were plenty of calls this week about Ball's physical status after the assault incident.
*As suggested here last week, and emphasized several times in the offseason, the Denver brass likes left tackle Ryan Clady enough to have proposed to he and agent Pat Dye Jr. a five-year contract extension worth $10 million annually.
The Broncos, though, have been reluctant to go above that number, and have consistently noted that Clady's performance has fallen off the last couple seasons in their estimation, and tacitly hinted they don't consider the four-year veteran in the class of left tackles such as Jason Peters (Philadelphia, injured), Joe Thomas (Cleveland), and perhaps even Jake Long (Miami).
There may be some who feel that Long is more a right tackle playing on the left side, but the Broncos don't share that outlook. And so, as initially reported by The Denver Post, the Broncos and Dye have ended extension discussions for now.
That's not to say the two sides won't resume negotiations at some point, and certainly not to suggest the Broncos, if so forced, won't use the franchise designation to retain Clady next spring, when his contract lapses and he is eligible for free agency.
Despite the lack of an extension, the news isn't altogether dire for either of the sides. The Broncos will likely get another full season in which to evaluate Clady before making a decision next spring.
For his part, Clady gets a year with quarterback Peyton Manning, whose presence always cuts down on sacks and who elevates an offensive line, and is permitted to play in a system that will accentuate his strengths. And the Dolphins, at some point, likely will sign Long to a contract extension, which will lift the left tackle numbers for the elite pass blockers in the league.
*Former first-round right tackle Jeff Otah, who has failed the physical exams now of two teams in the past 10 days (the Jets and Panthers) and who was released by Carolina on Thursday, isn't ready to end his NFL career yet.
The Panthers' No. 1 pick in 2008, Otah is only 26 years old. Once regarded as a rising star, knee problems have limited Otah to only four appearances the past two seasons, and he finished each of the past three campaigns on injured reserve. But Otah, who was outstanding his first two seasons in the league before his left knee problems, will go to Ohio to work with former Cleveland and Pro Bowl center LeCharles Bentley, and feels he could be ready to return in the first month of the season.
That might be a tad optimistic, given the negative feedback he's gotten lately, but there are plenty of teams whose personnel directors have already made mental notes to check in with Bentley about Otah's progress under his tutelage.
"Bentley knows about knees, he'll shoot straight ... but the bottom line is that, if he can help get (Otah) healthy again, and I agree that's a big 'if,' someone can steal a big-time player for free," said one NFC pro scout. "For a talent like that, it's worth watching."
*A few notes on new Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who will buy a controlling interest (70 percent) now, and assume the remaining 30 percent from Lerner at some point in the next four years: He will definitely bring aboard former Philadelphia president Joe Banner, one of the game's most astute administrators.
What that means for current team president Mike Holmgren, as was speculated in this space last week, is unknown, but probably can't be good.
While serving as a minority investor in the Steelers the past four years, Haslam wasn't exactly a high profile guy, but he learned well, from the Rooney Family, how to operate a team. And the Rooneys played a significant role in pitching Haslam to league officials, once he indicated an interest in taking a majority stake in a team.
*Punts: Third-year linebacker Daryl Washington, whose importance to the team was recently cited by general manager Rod Graves, isn't the only Arizona player under consideration for a contract extension.
The Cardinals have quietly begun extension talks with fourth-year veteran return man and special teams ace LaRod Stephens-Howling, and could make the former seventh-round pick one of the higher paid non-kicking special teams players in the league.
Stephens-Howling is signed to a one-year restricted tender at $1.927 million, and the Cardinals would like to lower that cap number with a multi-year deal. Not to mention being able to keep Stephens-Howlings, who has worked hard to make himself a vital part of the roster.
--Pittsburgh coaches are excited by the early work of Willie Colon, who is moving from right tackle to left guard on the team's revamped offensive line, in camp. But the team wants to see how Colon, who has essentially missed the past two seasons because of injuries, responds to all of the pulling and trapping and counter-blocking the Steelers' offense historically asks of the left guard.
And how well he gets downfield to lead screen passes that figure to be a bigger part of Haley's design. So far, while Colon has mauled people in camp in the move to a position many always felt could be his best spot, the running plays have mainly been.
More on the Pittsburgh line: The smart money so far is on veteran Max Starks, not second-round rookie Mike Adams, opening the season as the team's starting left tackle.
--There has been incremental progress on the talks aimed at finishing a contract extension for Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, but still a few rough spots with which to contend. One positive is that Ravens' vice president Pat Moriarty and agent Joe Linta have demonstrated a great deal of mutual respect. Discussions have been well based and avoided acrimony.
--There was nothing ulterior about the Eagles' acquisition this week of Indianapolis cornerback Kevin Thomas for a pair of linebackers who probably weren't going to make the Philadelphia roster anyway. Just chalk it up, one Philly assistant said, to the belief you can never have enough good corners, not to any unhappiness with the players at the position.
Thomas was a guy the Eagles liked in the 2010 draft, the former third-rounder has some starting experience, and he should fit well as a No. 4 option behind Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, and camp flash Curtis Marsh.
--Eagles special teams coordinator Bobby April, who promised the team's return game would be much better this season, is pumped by the performances of rookies Brandon Boykin (kickoffs) and Damaris Johnson (punts) so far.
--Houston coaches were impressed early on with third-round rookie guard Brandon Brooks, viewed as a steal despite not having attended the combine last February, but the former University of Ohio standout won't legitimately challenge for a starting job until he gets his weight better under control. The shortcoming has caused Brooks some problems with the heat in camp.
--The early results with Tim Tebow running the "Wildcat" offense for the Jets have been positive, but no one is suggesting the former Heisman Trophy winner will be anything more than a change-up quarterback, given his continuing lack of accuracy. Still, Tebow "presents a problem (for defenses)," acknowledged safety Yeremiah Bell. "I was in Miami when they had Pat White operating the (Wildcat) offense," Bell said. "The big thing with (White) was that he could add a throwing dimension, but he didn't. Tebow definitely can."
--Free agent tailback Cedric Benson remains prominent among the remaining unsigned veteran who could catch on with a team in the next few weeks of camp. But not until Benson lowers his salary expectations.
--The old camp adage that you can never have enough offensive linemen, basically because they sustain so many injuries in the summer, is becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy for some clubs. There are teams who are really poring over "ready" lists at the position to fill in because of injuries. Witness, the Cowboys working out guards Montrae Holland and Derrick Dockery and tackle Daniel Loper.
*The last word: "It's kind of like they took your friend and put him in solitary confinement." -- New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, per The NFL Network, on the season-long suspension of Saints' coach Sean Payton

Rocker Doherty arrested after drugs photos
LONDON (Reuters) - British rock singer Pete Doherty was
arrested on Saturday after a police investigation into a
tabloid photo which the paper said showed him injecting drugs
into a female fan's arm as she lay unconscious.
It was the latest brush with the law for the 27-year-old,
who is more famous for his on-off relationship with supermodel
Kate Moss and his public battle with hard drugs than as the
frontman of punk outfit Babyshambles.
was arrested on a street in an east London borough on suspicion
of administering a noxious substance recklessly," said a police
"He is in custody at the police station and inquiries
The Sun tabloid printed the picture on Friday, saying it
and another showing Doherty injecting himself with an unknown
substance were taken at his home in Hackney, London, within the
last five weeks.
Doherty has made a string of court appearances in recent
months on drugs charges.
Last week he was arrested for suspected drug possession
only hours after a judge spared him a jail term and ordered him
to undergo rehabilitation for previous narcotics offences.
The pictures came seven months after the Sun's main British
tabloid rival the Daily Mirror printed photographs apparently
showing Moss snorting cocaine while Doherty and his bandmates
recorded in a London studio.
Those images prompted several fashion houses to drop Moss,
although her career has thrived since she left a drug
rehabilitation center in the United States in October.

We all love thinking that good content is about writing about cute, shallow unicorns, but what good content needs in order to be great is on page seo. There, I said it.You know what's better? Stats that prove that articles that have great on page seo get 285% more traffic, on average, than the articles that are not optimized.. >Click to Tweet<
So, there's no reason to be mediocre and not optimize the content you plan to publish, because you won't have an article that reaches it's potential.
On Page SEO is not such a complicated puzzle.
It may seem a bit hard to optimize each an every article that you write, research the best keywords you could use, analyse which of them will bring you the most traffic, and after you publish your articles see how much moola-moola the articles got ( and also, new happy fans for your brand 🙂 )

SAN FRANCISCO (BaseballStL) -- It came as no surprise to what Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong was able to do in Game 2 against the Cardinals. What was surprising is that he was even better in Game 5.
Unprepared. Ridiculous. Silly. Any of those words could describe the way the Cardinals looked against Vogelsong on Sunday night, six days prior to when the team last faced him.
The Cardinals in the meantime did not seem to do a whole lot of film studying from his Game 2 start when he allowed only one run on four hits and two walks in seven innings pitched in a 7-1 Giants win.
One of the Cardinals who got a hit in that game, Matt Holliday, was scratched shortly before first pitch in Game 6.
The Cardinals were finally able to get a hit off Vogelsong with two outs in the fifth inning.
Vogelsong's final stat line: 7 innings pitched, 4 hits, 1 (earned) run, 1 walk, career-high 9 strikeouts

text: Dear Fky-people, A few days ago I asked if there was an easier way of sharpening tungsten needles, which I use to hand de-chorionate embryos. I had been using an electric current with a sodium nitrite solution; this set-up is in another building and involves something of a hassle to have to go use. Four people responded and all four told me that I could melt sodium nitrite over a bunsen burner and that would work well. They also warned me to wear goggles as the hot sodium nitrite spritzes. So I went over to our chemical store-room and bought the necessary chemistry stuff (which was really fun!) and did it and it worked wonderfully well! Ecept that when the PI whose apparatus I normally borrow saw all of this, he said, "Are you MAD? You could have blown us all to kingdom come! That stuff 'll kill ya'!" Unfortunately, I didn't save the four kind responses, so I thought i would ask about this, especially since my boss just saw the bunsen burner and the goggles and the crucible with molten sodium nitrite in it and asked another post-doc in the lab what this was all for, and since the inevtiable "she almost blew us up" came into the conversation, I thought it might not be a bad move to ask this more pressing q uestion, "Am I really risking the lab and its assorted personel by sharpening my tungsten needles this way?" I guess the real question is, will I cease and desist even if it turns out to be true? It was awfully fun!

We editorialize today on a bill now pending in the U.S. Senate to invest $1 billion over the next five years in wind energy research.
Remember $147-a-barrel oil, and $4-a-gallon gasoline? Okay, we realize that was a long time ago — way back in July 2008, and a few things have happened since them.
Health care. A recession. A presidential election. Jay Leno off late night TV and back on at 10 p.m.
Not to mention a pleasant drop in fuel oil and gasoline prices to take the sting out of the memory, and the urgency out of America's desire for energy independence.
So it's all the more welcome that the House of Representatives last week approved legislation, sponsored by the Capital Region's Paul Tonko, calling for substantial investment in wind energy research. We hope the Senate follows suit, and that Washington looks to do even more to stimulate research and development of renewable energy technology.
For all of the debate last year between drilling for off-shore oil or investing more in green technology, we don't think Americans fundamentally disagree that capturing energy from sources like the wind and the sun is a smart strategy.
The problem is, it is more expensive to pull energy out of the air, or from the heat of the sun, than to burn fossil fuels when the cost of construction is figured in.
Mr. Tonko's bill, approved in a bipartisan voice vote, would put $200 million a year — $1 billion in all — into research aimed at making wind power more efficient, competitive and practical. The goals include looking into lighter, stronger and less expensive materials; developing better off-shore technology; encouraging development of smaller, portable wind turbines; and coming up with designs that can work in different conditions around the country.
The bill also looks toward improving the transmission of energy — still a challenge for wind farms which tend to be located in remote areas far from where energy is most needed.
This bill doesn't address the key challenge of storing energy from alternative sources that ebb and flow with the weather. Congress needs to invest, too, in research and development of storage technology that makes wind and solar energy available on demand at times when the air is calm, and when the sun isn't shining.
Still, this nation hasn't seen significant investment in research and development of wind power since the oil crisis of the 1970s. Although the cost of wind energy is considerably lower than it once was, it still has a way to go to be truly considered an alterative source. So it's gratifying to see this bill moving despite the decline in oil prices since last year. Imagine that, not governing by crisis.
Even more impressive would be if the Senate followed suit before this year is out, and before another spike in the price of oil makes us long for the good old days of 2009.

The extremist form of Islam has not been formed by the so-called flag wavers of Islam, but anti-Islamic economic super-power for the longest time has helped in creating this monster. In this critical time, it is essential that Islam and all other religion look for the broader definition of their religion."
This is a quote from the back cover of the latest album of the most popular band in Bangladesh, called Bangla. This quote itself gives a broader picture of the struggle that is going on in mainstream Bangladesh for the soul of Islam.
However, when Mockbul Ali, the Islamic affairs adviser to the foreign office, represents Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, the fundamentalist cleric from Bangladesh, as a mainstream Bangladeshi Muslim in his infamous memo that was leaked to the media recently, it not only blatantly misrepresents the real situation, but also undermines this struggle for pluralisms among the Muslims.
By engaging with such "mainstream" Muslims, the government is really getting disconnected from the larger chunk of Muslims who are much more diverse and less political. As more and more Muslims realize that they need to speak up in order to be heard, it is very important that we listen in tuning at the correct frequency.
The underlying argument on the Martin Bright documentary "Who Speaks for the Muslims?" is not about Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), neither is it about identifying the so called "Good Muslims." Rather the question it asks is whether all spectrums of the Muslim viewpoints are being represented in the dialogs with the government or the public. The answer to me is an unequivocal no and to find the reason we have to look into why Muslims are all being categorized in one bouquet where there is no room for cultural and national identity.
How many people actually know that the largest Muslim gathering every year in London is not a religious gathering at all but a secular cultural festival? This year almost 80,000 Bangladeshis, about 90% of them Muslims, crowded the streets of Brick Lane during the Baishakhi Mela, the Bengali New Year celebration.
Anyone who has experienced the vibrancy, the colour and the spontaneity of this festival realizes how unmistakably the national and cultural identity is stamped on the Bangladeshis. The women are out in their traditional ware in full force while the men chant Bangla folk songs. Herein is the biggest piece of the puzzle which people in both of sides of the argument are missing. Both are completely ignoring the geographical affinity of the Muslims -- the very element that along with their cultural roots that shapes their behaviour in the society.
For example, how Pakistani Muslims and Bangladeshi Muslims view Islamic fundamentalism is shaped in many ways about how they see the bitter war in 1971 that separated the two countries. Bangladeshis, in general, hold deep disgust against the party, Jamaat-e-Islami, the party that collaborated against the independence and were allegedly responsible for abating the Pakistani army in killing hundreds and thousands of their countrymen. That is the very reason hard right Islamic elements still can garner on their own no more than 5% of the seats in the parliament in Bangladesh.
Similarly, British Bangladeshis, who had an extremely proactive pro-Bangladesh role during the 1971 liberation war, deeply distrusts religion based politics and fundamentalism in the name of religion. However, for a lot of Pakistani-origin Muslims, this break up between the two Muslim countries happened because of political maneuvering of India. Their views about religion in politics, as a result, are very differently shaped from their Bangladeshi brethren.
So to understand Muslims and hear their different viewpoints, the engagement will have to start from their geographical and cultural identities. Only then a wholesome picture of their identity will emerge. Organizations that encourage prospering these cultural roots have to be encouraged as well. The community leaders, cultural, secular and religious, need to be engaged in the dialog.
It is interesting to note that that tide is slowly but surely turning. The large section of the Muslims who see religion as a very personal day to day lifestyle choice and who never saw the need to form any organization to highlight their religious identity are increasingly realizing that for the well being of their future generations, the longer they are unrepresented, the chances are more that it will hit their homes and their family members will be represented by people whom they despise. The prospect of the external social elements turning their own children against them into radicalism is so real, that they are beginning to organize themselves.
That's why we see people like Haras Rafiq, an ordinary business man, and Murad Qureshi, a prominent British-Bangladeshi politician, speak out in the Martin Bright documentary against the misrepresentation. We see Fareena Alam, the twenty something editor of the Progressive Muslim magazine Qnews, talk to the young Muslims in a language that they have not heard before. We see Independent Columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown form Muslims for Secular Democracy and we see the launch of organization like Progressive British Muslims. In parallel, independent cultural organizations are promoting the cultural and nationalist roots for those Muslims who don't see them represented in the faith based organizations.
While these silent majority need to speak up, they need to carefully pick whose platform they are using. Let's make no mistake about it that there are Islamophobes like Daniel Pipes out there who see Islam as the reason for everything bad that has happened to this world. If one is against one form of extremism of one religion, one should be against extremism of all religions. Let this be the litmus test for everyone who claims that they are not Islamophobes.
Moderates who are trying to have their voices heard, also should not be lured by the people with right wing agenda either. They risk their own credibility at this. It is imperative that they make it clear that when they speak for a minority, they speak for all the minorities of the world. The same people who criticize the aggression against the Palestinians and Lebanese people, criticize the suicide bombings in London, Madrid or New York. They demand justice for discrimination against the Muslims in the United States. At the same time, they defend the rights of Ahmadiyas to practice their religion even if they don't agree with their views.
In the post 9/11 world, these distinctions are, however, becoming difficult to differentiate, as loud religious jingoism easily overshadows the nuances of these stands. Interestingly, there are remarkable parallels worldwide. While on one hand, in Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is using the Jamaat-e-Islami and Islam to ride the political wave that has been created by the war in Iraq, we see George Galloway, the Respect Party MP, do the same with success with the East London Bangladeshis.
The potential cost of this alignment is unknown -- at least for now. But the signs are ominous. With incidents like Forest Gate, where two Bangladeshis got almost killed by the police for mistaken identities, it becomes increasingly difficult for a Muslim not to think that they are the victims of a worldwide aggression. The visible damage to the credibility to the government caused by such blunders is obvious but hidden is the long term damage on the Muslim psyche that helps the recruiting of zealous extremists.
However, the good news is that the new year festival of the Bangladeshis in London mentioned before in this piece, which was threatened to be bombed six years ago by the militants, is still thriving and is growing bigger every year. They are singing, dancing and beating their "dhols" (drums). Are we listening?

EDF Renewable Energy begins operations at Pacific Wind in California
EDF Renewable Energy, formerly enXco, has begun operations at its 140MW Pacific Wind Project in Kern County, California.
The project, which has a 20-year power purchase agreement with San Diego Gas and Electric Company, will supply carbon-free electricity to the regional transmission grid via the CAISO transmission system.
The project has the capacity to generate electricity enough for 56,000 consumers.
Additionally, EDF has completed project financing through a sale-leaseback transaction with Bankers Commercial Corp, Citibank, NA and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, thereby closing over $4bn in financing facilities over the past decade.
EDF Renewable Energy southwest region vice president Mark Tholke said that policy support, such as California's 33% mandate for renewable energy and the federal Production Tax Credit, are critical for the wind industry.
"This project, according to an economic impact study, is expected to generate over $300 Million in total economic benefits for Kern County businesses, government, and households over the life of the project," he added.
The Pacific Wind project runs on REpower MM92 turbines.

It seems like a long time since this winter's frigid temperatures, record-breaking snowstorms and impassable streets. We're so far into spring that Washington's cherry blossoms have come and gone. It's even time for Equal Pay Day! That's the day when the average woman, working all of 2009 and almost four months into 2010, earns what a man earns in 2009 alone.
It takes a woman, on average, almost 16 months just to make what her male counterpart earns in twelve, and she's finally gotten there on April 20 this year. A woman on average has to work almost all of these four months to earn the additional $10,622 that her male counterpart earned by New Year's day. That's a lot of money to be shortchanged, and a lot of needless time and sacrifice for women and their families.
Frankly, it makes me angry to think about how much women needed that $10,622 for their hard work last year, and every year. But getting angry isn't nearly as good as getting the Paycheck Fairness Act passed. The Act would take this country's legal protections against pay discrimination, first passed 47 years ago, and bring them into the 21st century.
The Paycheck Fairness Act passed the House of Representatives in January, and now women of this country are looking to the Senate to step up and do the right thing and finally pass the law. Now is the time. No more seasons coming and going, without women having the law on their side, and the paychecks they deserve.

Since 1929 Egypt has enjoyed veto power over any plans that might disrupt the flow of the River Nile from the upstream countries, but that looks set to change.
According to a spokesman for the Nile Basin Initiative a sixth country – Burundi – has joined Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda in agreeing a new treaty on the Nile that will strip Egypt of its veto. The other five all signed up last May but a sixth was needed to ratify the treaty.
The upstream countries argue that they should be allowed to build hydroelectric and irrigation projects without Egypt's say-so.
The hope is that negotiations will allow all 10 Nile Basin countries to benefit from the river water, but experts fear that the battle for access to the Nile's life-giving waters might instead become one of the world's first modern "water wars".
"In the Nile Basin countries access to water for vulnerable people is not about development, it's about survival, life and death," Steven Solomon, author of Water: The Epic Struggle for Life, Power and Civilization, told GlobalPost last year.
Already the rhetoric has been heated, especially between Egypt and Ethiopia, the source of the Blue Nile which, in Khartoum, joins with the White Nile that flows north from Lake Victoria.
"I am not worried that the Egyptians will suddenly invade Ethiopia," Meles said in an interview last year. "Nobody who has tried that has lived to tell the story."

Reuters – Cellcom, Israel's largest mobile phone operator, reported a 70% jump in quarterly profit due in part to cost-cutting measures implemented as the company faced intensified competition.
Net profit rose to ILS 114m ($33m) in the first quarter from ILS 67m a year earlier, Cellcom said on Wednesday. Revenue dipped 10.2% to ILS 1.13bn.
Cellcom was forecast to earn ILS 86m shekels on revenue of ILS 1.18bn, according to a Reuters poll.
The company's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses fell 15.6% in the quarter due to efficiency measures, which led to a decrease in payroll and other expenses.
Finance costs fell 41% due to a drop in interest expenses.
Israel's mobile phone industry was shaken up in 2012 with the entry of six new operators, sparking a price war that led to steep drops in subscribers, revenue and profit at Cellcom and two incumbent rivals.
"We expect the price erosion and high competition to continue in the coming quarters while the company's ability to continue implementing efficiency measures to mitigate the decrease in revenues will be reduced," Cellcom Chief Executive Nir Sztern said.
Cellcom said it would not pay a dividend for the first quarter given the continued intensified competition in the market and its adverse effect on the company's revenue.
"The board of directors will re-evaluate its decision as market conditions develop and taking into consideration the company's needs," Cellcom said.
In the third quarter Cellcom paid a quarterly dividend of ILS 85m but did not pay one for the fourth quarter.
Sztern said Cellcom was preparing for a quick launch of a 4G network supporting LTE advanced technology.
Cellcom had 3.049 million subscribers at the end of the first quarter, down 3.7% from a year ago.

"An ok listen but nothing special"
This was ok to pass the time in the car and it kept me going even though around half way through I had already figured it out. Once I had finished though I felt like I probably could have passed the time with a better book. This novel just didn't really stand out for me in any way. It was all rather bland and it also doesn't convey that sense of place that I tend to expect from Nordic crime fiction. Aside from the Characters names it could have been any village in England. I would give it two and a half stars if I could. Not bad enough for two stars (disliked it) but not really up there with the three star reads. David Rintoul did a good job with the narration though and I will look out to see what else he has narrated.
"Good Scandinavian police novel"
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this second novel in the Inspector Sejer series. I particularly like David Rintoul's narration, and I expect to make my way through the whole series now!
This book began with a storyline which was emerging at the end of the first novel and which was peripheral but important background to the plot. The characters are interesting and realistic, as is the storyline. There was little political interest in the story apart from an understanding that the police and pathology services are understaffed and underresourced. Although there were many surprises, it always seemed believable. Recommend.
"Interesting but not Henning Mankell"
I was looking for another novel to rival Henning Mankell and came upon Karin Fossum. I enjoyed the read and the characters and story were fairly interesting but I would not say that I loved the book I have since read other novels by same author with similar effect While they are enjoyable they are no where near Henning Mankell. The narration was good and fitted with the book story.
Again Karin Fossum adds a pyschological element to her police thriller. Again there were many twists and turns that kept you on the edge of your seat
"Let down by the end"
Firstly, a very good narration by David Rintoul.
I was looking for another series now that I have come to the end of the fab Wallander series. This doesn't quite match up, but doesn't do a bad job of trying.
Unfortunately it succumbed to a typical ending, which I won't describe, but it disappointed me, hence the three stars for 'story'.
"convincing and gripping."
tender characterization. good plot. a particularly good book by Karin Fossum. subtle and disturbingly ambivalent
This was the first Karin Fossum book I've read and I enjoyed it so much I'm going to give the others a go. A very enjoyable, very well written book. If you enjoy Scandinavian crime fiction and writers such as Henning Mankell, you will like this - it has the Inspector Wallender novels feel about it. It has that calm aura whilst being engrossing. And David Rintoul is an excellent narrator - very engaging. He has that valuable attribute of making it more like hearing a play than listening to someone reading a book.

In our lives… Fall battles summer for dominance here. We had some warm days and first rainy days of the season. Anna still loves school very much and says that two days of weekend is too much. They started ability-based language art classes where students from different first grade classes are mixed together based on reading proficiency and sent off to different classrooms for an hour four times a week. She is, of course, in the highest reading group that is taught by the second grade teacher, and she seems to enjoy her language arts class a lot.
Afterschool. At home there was a lot of Lego building and drawing. I made a few of mini-books to reuse our writing paper, and Anna was drawing Halloween monsters and other Halloween themes combining stickers and drawings. Of course, as always, there was plenty of reading – Anna watches no TV at all and didn't ask to ask for any electronic entertainment for quite a while.
What's new? Last Sunday Anna and papa went sailing with our friends. It was an excellent time to go, because they caught special events in San Francisco – both American Cup sailing race and an air show for Fleet Week. Anna said that the airplanes (Blue Angels) were "cool but very loud", and papa took a lot of very cool photos.
Quote of the week:
- Anna: Mama, are you sure that I am your daughter? Really really sure?
- Me: Yes, I am absolutely sure.
- Anna: Prove it.
- Me: Go look in the mirror. Everyone says you look just like me.
- Anna: I don't see it. I see papa's eyes and papa's hair. This proves that I am his daughter, but what about you?

Project Horizon: VMware's plan to restitch the desktop
Your cloud identity
Posted in The Channel, 31st August 2010 13:02 GMT
VMworld VMware has released new versions of its View virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and its ThinApp application streaming software, while promising some sort of consumer "cloud identity" offering sometime next year.
View 4.5 offers support for the FIPS 140-2 security protocol required by the US government for protecting sensitive data and support for a wider variety of devices, which you can review here. VMware also says that View 4.5 includes the first "enterprise-grade" offline VDI capability.
But as Raj Mallempati, director of enterprise desktop marketing at VMware, concedes, this functionality is rather familiar. It previewed with View 3.0 back in December 2008 and was further enhanced with View 4.0 in November 2009.
With this offline capability, you get and download a virtual machine image for the first time on a PC, and then after that, each time you have a network connection, only the changed data on the VM image is moved back and forth between the PC and the central servers where the VDI images live. (Presumably the software is good enough to know what to do when both sides change at the same time).
Mallempati says that the encrypted, hosted hypervisor that runs atop Windows or Linux with View 4.5 is acceptable for employees who own their machines and contractors. Citrix invented the encrypted XenVault directory for PCs precisely because it says contractors and employees who own their PCs don't want to install a VM with a corporate operating system and application image on their machine. They just want to have applications streamed down to their machines and IT managers just want the data secured.
View 4.5 supports Windows 7, of course, and VMware is pitching its VDI wares as a means of cutting the cost of migrating older Windows machines to Windows 7 – by as much as 50 per cent over deploying Windows 7 on new machines, according to Mallempati.
The big enhancement that comes with the ThinApp 4.6 application streaming software that is often paired with View is that it can package up a virtualized instance of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 browser, which has been sent to the graveyard because it is more insecure than a teenage boy, and deploy it on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 PCs. There are a bunch of other smaller feature tweaks, which you can read about here.
View 4.5 will be available on September 9. It comes in two editions. View 4.5 Enterprise Edition includes vSphere 4 for desktops (that's the hosted hypervisor), vCenter 4, and View Manager 4.5, at a cost of $150 per concurrent user. View 4.5 Premier Edition adds the offline access feature to View Manager and tosses in ThinApp and View Composer; it costs $250 per concurrent user. ThinApp 4.6 is available now if you want to buy it separately, and prices start at $5,000 for a perpetual license.
Project Horizon
One of the things that VMware was expected to launch today at the VMworld virtualization and cloud extravaganza this week was a bare-metal hypervisor for PCs. But as El Reg already told you in July, that isn't going to happen. At least not with the VMware View 4.5 released today. And maybe never.
"The desktop is being pulled apart and into the cloud," explains Mallempati. By which he means that end user computing is bigger than any particular type of desktop, notebook, netbook, smartphone, or handheld device or any one operating system. End users have a multitude of devices, but they still want to access their applications and data from them, and they want to do work even when they are not connected to the Internet and tunneling back into the corporate network.
And that means the virtual desktop infrastructure that VMware has been championing is too hairy to be combed over with a new release of VMware View sporting a bare-metal PC hypervisor - and one very likely with a limited hardware compatibility list, like the XenClient bare-metal PC hypervisor announced last week by rival Citrix Systems.
What customers want, says Mallempati, is a "consumer cloud experience" across all their devices and applications that maintains corporate security and service level agreements, no matter how you flit across public and private infrastructure. That, in a nutshell, is what Project Horizon is all about. And it is probably the best reason yet for why Red Hat should buy Novell or at least its security and identity management products.
Project Horizon is a set of software that will establish your "cloud identity" for accessing applications running on PCs, being streamed down from corporate servers, or running in SaaS-mode on somebody else's infrastructure, like Salesforce.com. The way the application and its related data gets provisioned for the user will therefore change as the end user's device changes. Project Horizon, says Mallempati, will have a self-service portal for applications and a single-sign on for those applications, regardless of where they are running.
While VMware won't admit this, the software will no doubt make heavy use of VMware View VDI and ThinApp application streaming, and will very likely come about as the merging of these two projects with some cloudy access management thrown in. What VMware has said is that ThinApp Factory will automate the packaging and updating of native applications, which is how you know VMware's ThinApp is involved. It is also very likely that the Zimbra email and collaboration software that VMware acquired from Yahoo will play a part as well.
Hodge-podging for desktop virtualization is not just vogue right now, it is the only way to cope with the problem because of the diversity of end user devices and needs. Citrix has thrown everything including the kitchen sink into its XenDesktop virtualization tools, which now include a bare-metal hypervisor (albeit for a ridiculously small number of Intel-based PCs); a secure, encrypted, and remotely nukable encrypted directory for running applications on contractor and user PCs; VDI streaming over corporate networks; and the traditional application streaming that has given Citrix purpose for the past decade and a half.
Other than these general capabilities, VMware is not saying much else about Project Horizon. VMware will not say how it will be productized – will it be a feature of View or ThinApp, or a separate access control and provisioning program that spans the? - but it has confirmed to El Reg that whatever it is, it will ship sometime in 2011. ®

|Separate WC's
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Little Kersham is situated in the picturesque Taw Valley in North Devon. The house is nestled in the small hamlet of Bridge Reeve and close to the River Taw. The house is surrounded by outstanding country and is a cyclist and walkers' paradise with winding woodland paths. Little Kersham is a detached converted barn set within its own mature gardens. The house is very spacious, has been sympathetically converted with wood beams and floors throughout. The property has lovely quiet surroundings however is well positioned to explore this beautiful part of Devon. There is a wealth of high quality tourist attractions with nearby such as Rosemoor, The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Kilarney Springs and Exmoor Zoo. Dartmoor and Exmoor are within 30 minutes drive.
My wife and I live on the outskirts of London.
Richard Quinn purchased this barn in 2007
My wife and I bought Little Kersham with the intention of retiring to Devon, but I keep putting the retirement date back!. We are both active walkers and wanted a home that had accessibility to both national parks and the north Devon coastline. We use the house on a monthly basis with our friends and family and have become part of the local community.
We all agreed this was one of the best Christmas houses we have rented (we have rented many) Mrs K December 2013
Enjoyed a great stay in this lovely cottage. A great place for a holiday. Simply the best ever Mr T - July/August 2012.
Just what we had in mind when we were looking for a special place for our family celebration. The cottage and its surroundings are stunning and we are well positioned to explore all that Devon had to offer. Can't wait to come back. Mrs W - August 2012
The house is amazing and in an ideal location to visit either north or south coasts. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. Mrs S August 2012
Superb facilities, a marvelous location and beautiful garden. For a large family we found it perfect. Mrs K - August 2012
Little Kersham is a fabulous cottage, well equipped and spacious. The gardens were immaculate. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to friends and family - July 2011
Comfortable and easy house, well equipped for catering, beautifully decorated for Christmas. Easy for both dog small children. Stunning walks with amazing views. Could move in!
What a fab week we had. Home from home. Kids loved exploring. House and grounds are amazing. Communication between owner Richard and us was outstanding. We loved staying at little kersham thanks Richard and family
Richard, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful. The cottage is as beautiful as the pictures. We enjoyed walking around the grounds and garden. The cottage was clean and just like home. The home has been developed with love and care. Everything is there ready to go for your convenience. It was warm and cosy, and the addition of a wood-burning fire make the perfect end to a busy day. Would love to come back when the garden s in full bloom. Thanks again for letting us stay at your lovely cottage.
Little Kershaw is a homely beautifully stylish barn conversion expertly done in an understated classy way. It is set in glorious countryside up a single track road 2 miles from Chulmleigh, a friendly community set high on a hill and which boasts some country pubs, a church, a deli, a small spar shop and 'open to all golf' course. It is a great base from which to explore north and mid devon- e.g the beach at Westwood Ho - don't miss the drive from Lynton to Minehead over Exmoor. There are some lovely country pubs nearby- the globe at Kings Nympton (a 3 mile drive) is a real find- or if you have kids who wish to go-kart then Barnstable (12 miles or so away) is worth a trip. Otherwise just soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the lovely walks. Don't be alarmed by a public footpath that runs alongside one part of the property and which is rarely used (in the week we were there we saw just someone on two separate occasions use it). Lastly in Richard and Vicky Quinn you could not have nicer owners who are available on the phone if need be as is their housekeeper. In summary you would be hard pressed to find a better country retreat in which to enjoy a week etc rest
Little Kersham is in an idyllic spot just above the river where the only break in the peace is the dawn chorus! Despite its quiet location, it's very handy for reaching both north and south Devon - by train if preferred. The house itself is very comfortable and excellently equipped for large groups; the Aga makes the kitchen a cosy base but there is also ample room for loafing around in the lounge and a formal dining room if you need it. Plenty of garden to sit out in, too. We had a great time, thank you.
Richard greeted us at LK after a long journey from the North East of England, providing a quick overview of the house and grounds.
A lovely bottle of red was also waiting for us, which was a lovely gesture.
LK is stocked with everything you could imagine and more! You can just turn up, unpack, relax and enjoy your stay.
The gardens and surrounding area are wonderful and I would highly recommend LK as a holiday destination. Make sure you visit the Thai van that visits the local village once a week, the food is fab. We also enjoyed a wonderful evening meal and several cream tea's at the Fox and Hounds, Eggesford. This is more than a country pub and is completely dog friendly.
If Devon wasn't so far away from where we live, I would visit again tomorrow.
Saunton, Braunton Burrows, Crow Point, Croyde and Westwood Ho all within 30 minutes drive from the house. The house is also equal 30 minute driving distance from Dartmoor and Exmoor. The house is situated close to the Tarka trail.
2 miles from Eggesford Railway Station.
Village of Chulmleigh 1.5 miles and Barnstaple 20 minutes drive. The city of Exeter is 30 minutes drive.
Further Details:
Chulmleigh is situated close by and has a range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Barnstaple is the nearest town (12 miles) and is reached through the scenic Taw Valley. The town has all the major supermarkets, a pannier market and additionally has a theatre, cinema and leisure facilities. The popular market town of South Molton has a weekly farmers market and a variety of shops, antiques and curio shops.

text: I agree with TC, tracks alikeng early has never been a problem for me. If it's dope it's dope. It is why, personally, i think Pilot Talk caught a lot of flack imo it was a quality album, perhaps a little bit better than 24hr Karate school.Plus, it isnt too difficult to just add the mos tracks and consider the album in the way Ski originally inteded. Not a hell of a lot of effort to do that.

Gaming Takes To The Cloud
To Nvidia, gaming is serious business, which means it's just as deserving of the latest-and-greatest technologies as the rest of the PC industry.
That's why it used its GTC 2012 event to unleash its new GeForce Grid technology, which lets gamers stream games from the cloud onto a series of displays, such as notebooks, TVs, tablets and smartphones.
According to Nvidia, many early iterations of cloud gaming platforms perform slowly or, worse yet, sacrifice the quality of the graphics. But with GeForce Grid, Nvidia said it has made game streaming "as common as renting a movie online," with features such as low server latency and reduced power consumption.
And, the chip maker said, graphics quality of course will be top-notch with the inclusion of Nvidia's next-generation GeForce GPUs.
