Certainly, an unblinkered vision of South Asia would feature a country whose fanatically ideological government in 1998 conducted nuclear tests, threatened its neighbour with all-out war and, four years later, presided over the massacre of 2,000 members of a religious minority.
An excellent bonus feature is Directed By Andre Tarkovsky, a warm but unblinkered look at the director by his editor on this film.

The Catholic Church is represented by worldly clerics such as the Abbé Chappe, whose unblinkered travels to Siberia, in the 1760s, armed him to denounce Voltaire as the dupe of Catherine the Great.
In 14 events, this festival curated by Vladimir Jurowski explores some less-familiar works to help gain an unblinkered perspective on the composer's achievements.
He is a first-time viewer, unlike the others I am linking to here, and unblinkered by fan lore, so his observations are sometimes strikingly different from the conventional wisdom (it is a rare fan who would rank Vicki top of the First Doctor's companions).
Such an unblinkered look at the liturgical reforms can, Msgr Ranjith writes, help us to be courageous in improving or changing that which was erroneously introduced and which appears to be incompatible with the true dignity of the Liturgy.
Clear Words of Msgr Ranjith on the Flaws of the Postconciliar Liturgical Reforms and the Need for a Reform of the Reform
Yes -- dark and bleak, without any perverse pleasure in examining, unblinkered, the possibilities.
The unblinkered historical look at what happened is of no interest to almost all Americans.
Perfect self-effacing, bubble-bursting humour and an unblinkered look at a variety of subjects from Being Shy and Being in the Blues, to Babies and Cats and Dogs a la 1886.
Anyone with an unblinkered view of the Weisglas vision will understand his words to mean, "The idea is to make their lives so intolerable that they lose hope and "choose" to go somewhere ... anywhere ... else."

How many distinct last names exist in the United States of America?How does one estimate/guess that number? The first source that comes to mind is the result of the latest available census. We know that 2000 year census presents us with a little over 150,000 unique surnames. The least popular ones mentioned in the survey have not less than 100 living representatives. All other names are not included. In fact it is almost certain we will not know all the exact names until year 2070 when the complete 2000 census data will become publicly available. By that time the data will not be of significant importance for this exercise as it will be 70 years late.
What else can we look at? I suspect the best way at this point is to use Facebook. One just needs to scan all of their American names and count distinct ones. Then do simple math. Say, we counted X number of unique names belonging to American accounts, and Y is the number of American accounts. The approximate number of unique names in the United States then is 309,000,000*(X/Y).
Unfortunately this method is not so easy to use since it requires knowledge on how how to perform all those Facebook account enumerations. It surely can be done, but I will wait with that since I have another, less precise, way to get the estimates.
We know that the population of the USA in the year 2000 was close to 300,000,000. The 150,000+ unique names available thru the census cover 240,000,000 people. The rest of the population, 60,000,000 of them, has last names with less than 100 bearers each. We do not know how the number of bearer per name is distributed. The only thing we can do is to provide the range for the number of the last names out there. We will do just that. It is possible but, of course, not likely that all the other names are also somewhat popular and each of them has 100 representatives too, just like the least popular names in the census. If that was the case the number of unique names in the United States would be 150,000 + 60,000,000/100 = 750,000. Another possibility is that all the names not getting counted in the census have only 1 bearer each. In this case the number of unique names in the United States is 150,000 + 60,000,000 = 60,150,000. Neither 750,000 nor 60,150,000 looks like a viable estimate. But they do provide a range: from 750,000 to 60,150,000 unique surnames. Any attempt to narrow the range without looking at the real data will be just that, an attempt that might or might not give you a better number. Let's make the assumption that the number of bearers per surname not published by the census is 50, right in the middle between 100 and 1 bearer and everything is distributed very unifromly. Then the number of unique last names in the USA is 150,000+60,000,000/50 = 1,350,000. Please, note that that later data and assumptions are true for the year 2000, for which we have reasonably detailed data. More modern estimates can be obtained once 2010 data becomes available.

If you want to see the server logs and messages printed to System.out on your command prompt screen, you can start the server in verbose mode. This makes it easy to do simple debugging using print statements, without having to view the server.log file every time.
When the server is in verbose mode, messages are logged to the console or terminal window in addition to the log file. In addition, pressing Ctrl-C stops the server and pressing Ctrl-\ prints a thread dump. To start the server in verbose mode, use the --verbose option as follows:
asadmin start-domain --verbose [domain-name]
You can enable verbose mode even when the application server is started without the --verbose option. This is useful if you start the application server from the Windows Start Menu or if you want to make sure that verbose mode is always turned on.
You can set the server to automatically start up in verbose mode using the Administration Console. For details, see the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Update 2 Administration Guide.

COPENHAGEN: New Regulations Likely As EPA Cracks Down On Greenhouse Gases
This December, all eyes are on the leaders of the world, as in the coming weeks they will meet together in Copenhagen for one of the world's largest conferences on greenhouse gas emissions and their contribution to global climate change.
Those who believe that climate change is a serious problem, exacerbated by the activities of humans over the last few centuries, have been disappointed by the inability of the United States, one of the biggest contributors to carbon pollution, to agree on any sort of agressive regulation of its own industries.
However, thanks to a recent announcement by the Environmental Protection Agency, it looks like Obama might not have to show up in Copenhagen empty handed.
In a much anticipated press conference held just Monday morning, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson announced that the agency had finalized its finding that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, pose a threat to human health and welfare (TIME).
This finding has been almost three years in the making, as it was April of 2007 when the Supreme Court ruled that if emissions of greenhouse gases can be shown to be hazardous to human health, they could indeed be regulated by the EPA under the Clean Air Act.
TIME magazine reported that "under former President George W. Bush, the EPA largely punted on the question, even burying analysis from its own scientists in the waning months of his administration. When President Barack Obama took office, he directed the new EPA to kick-start the regulation process — nearly 11 months and 380,000 public comments later, the agency is now poised to regulate CO2 as a pollutant."
Of course, large industry groups and well-known climate change deniers, like big agriculture, coal mining companies and the US Chamber of Commerce are staunchly opposed to this decision, as it has yet to be determined how the impending regulations on this toxic substance will effect the pocketbooks of the biggest emitters.
Even as politicians and lobbyists try to find new ways to stall the proposed Climate Bill and climate deniers have fun blowing the "Climategate" emails out of proportion, this ruling by the EPA gives credibility to those that argue that global climate change is a dangerous threat to people all over the world.
Armed with this finding, Obama is able to demonstrate to the Copenhagen delagates that the United States is in fact serious about regulating its own excessive carbon outputs and would be a major supporter of an international treaty on climate change. Whether the other countries involved will be satisfied with this long-overdue announcement remains to be seen, however.
The news has already had a positive effect on Danish minister Connie Hedegaard, who is presiding over the Copenhagen summit. "Every positive announcement will improve our chances of staying below the 2°C target," she told TIME, "but we all know only too well, we are not there yet."

With somewhat of his own take on nerdcore hip hop, Spoken Nerd has been making albums since 2005. He's been a part of independent crews like Hug Life and Killuh Sheep, but has primarily focused on his solo albums. He gained a little more popularity with his 2010 album, Apocalypse Awareness Day, and is now primed to independently release his latest work, OUR TEAM IS GOING TO WIN.
For those want to get down to labels, Spoken Nerd is a hip hop artist, but he's also an indie artist. It's impossible to label him as strictly one or the other, as you will certainly notice if you listen to his latest work. On the one hand, you get hip hop tracks like album highlight "Big Beards." It has almost a gangster rap feel in the music, with flows that aren't the most fluid, but are a great fit. The guest emcee, Ceschi, provides some classic lines as well, such as "I know some big words, sesquipedalian" (look up the word and see why it's a good line), and "I know some big puns, I'm not afraid to spit, I used to have a fear of hurdles but got over it." Classic. "Detective Novels" and "In the Lodge" are also good examples of his style of hip hop; there's a lot of singing involved, but the verses are done in the same style as older Listener material (and in "Detective Novels," with music that resembles something from the album Wooden Heart).
On the other hand, when Spoken Nerd isn't providing some fun hip hop, he's crafting some hip hop-esque indie music. Again, at the risk of sounding a little redundant, it's almost like the band Listener meets Death Cab For Cutie. Nerd's singing resembles Death Cab's Ben Gibbard; they don't necessarily sound alike, but Nerd uses a lot of melodies that sound like they could've come from Gibbard. The music itself is a little more rough around the edges than Death Cab, but it has some electronic elements and guitar sounds here and there that could fit on Death Cab's Codes and Keys. If that sounds like your kind of thing, but you're not too into hip hop, you may have an easier time with OUR TEAM IS GOING TO WIN than you may have thought, as most of the album is indie/alternative music.
A lot of the songs feature layered vocals, including several other than Nerd. Frequently throughout the album, you can hear a couple sets of female vocals. One of the main vocalists is a young lady named Karina Elizabeth, while the other set of female vocals are from Serai Zaffiro McAnulty, who also sings for the groups Paris Ontario, By Lightning and more. The girls' vocals combined in "I've got a friend in Money" and "Faith, Hope, UNITY and let's CRUSH those who stand against us" sound great and passionate. Admittedly, it may be a bit of an acquired taste, but they work very well for the songs.
Some interesting imagery is used in some of the songs, such as "Watermelon Heart." The opening line says "You've got this watermelon heart," and if you stopped there, you probably wouldn't understand what that means. But it's a metaphor I've not heard before this song. Nerd is talking to a person who has a tendency to hide his/her heart inside of a hardened shell (like the meat of a watermelon!). The song doesn't get too descriptive, but it's nice imagery, and it's a solid track. I'm also a fan of the perspective taken in "The Truth and the Lie." It's not 100% clear, but what I get out of it is that it's directed toward overbearing and really pushy Christians and the negative impact it has on non-Christians who may or may not be searching for something. Lyrics like "They were thirsty, you poisoned the water" point to the sour taste that gets put in peoples' mouths. I also like "We don't have to be enemies, what would that achieve, it's not a catalyst for anything, not even your very important beliefs that you claim set you free." It definitely makes you think, and it's a good reminder that we need to be more peaceful in our approach and the way we live our lives.
If you've never heard of Spoken Nerd before, this is a great time to get into him. OUR TEAM IS GOING TO WIN is a solid indie album. Again, this album can be somewhat of an acquired taste - not everyone who likes indie or hip hop will like this album - but it's worth taking the chance on it. Spoken Nerd is one of independent music's best kept secrets. Head on over to his Bandcamp to pick this one up, and while you're there, check out some of his previous work as well.

Unionists have failed to prevent a public speaking event in Belfast featuring radical socialist George Galloway, the leader of the Respect Party in Britain, who has advocated a comprehensive boycott of Israel over its war crimes.
The staging of the event next Saturday had been opposed by the DUP the TUV as well as the UUP, and some city councillors called for a review of it. The Ulster Hall is owned by the city council.
On Friday, the council said the event would go ahead. It expressed concern that a decision to terminate the speaking engagement would face a legal challenge on the basis of freedom of expression, and that it also feared a claim for breach of contract.
The MP for Bradford West has been one of the strongest voices for a total boycott against Israel following its recent atrocities against the Palestinian people trapped in the Gaza enclave. Almost 2000 Palestinians have now died including 460 children in a campaign of genocide which has continued despite ceasefire negotiations.
One of those opposed to the event, Democratic Unionist (DUP) councillor Brian Kingston, accused the Scottish native of "rejecting and demonising an entire country and its people", while another DUP man accused him of "spewing anti-Israel hatred".
In response, Mr Galloway said: "To be lectured on good relations by the DUP is a bit like being told to sit up straight by the Hunchback of Notre Dame."
"It's a commercial contract with the Ulster Hall, signed, sealed and will be delivered, except on terms of very severe compensation."
Outrage at Israel's destruction and slaughter in Gaza has not abated in Ireland, and over 10,000 marched through Dublin city centre to the Israeli Embassy last weekend in support of people in Gaza.
The event was organised by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Their campaign chairperson Freda Hughes said Israel's military campaign in Gaza was a breach of international law and amounted to collective punishment of the people living there.
Speakers called for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and boycott of goods. Sinn Fein's spokesperson on foreign affairs Sean Crowe also addressed the protest, saying the large numbers in attendance "sent a clear message that Irish people will not stand idly by while Israel commits war crimes and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens".
Meanwhile, a burgeoning grassroots campaign against Israel has seen more than 170 Irish academics sign a petition calling for an academic boycott of Israel in support of the BDS movement (Boycott, Divest, Sanctions). 'Academics for Palestine' have said that Irish universities have collaborated in EU-funded projects with Israeli counterparts who make drones, develop high-tech weapons and assist in carrying out killings in Palestinian areas.
"Students, teachers and schools have been targets of Israel's brutal attacks in Gaza, making it an attack on education as well as a war crime," they said.
The signatories include many well-known names, including the Trinity-College-based Haifa-born scholar Ronit Lentin.
Impromptu protests have also been taking place in chain stores stocking Israeli goods. Stores owned by the Asda and Sainsbury chains in Belfast have been struck by flashmob demonstrations to highlight the sanctions campaign. In footage published on the the internet, dozens packed into the supermarkets before taking numerous Israeli-linked products off the shelves.
Despite the protests, both the Dublin government and the multi-party Stormont administration continue to maintain strong links with Israel and with multinationals accused of being complicit in genocidal acts.
It is understood the ongoing controversy will be one of main issues discussed by Galloway at his event, which has already sold out.

Exercise Machines | Home Gyms
What to look for in a fitness machine
Today's high gym membership fees and gas prices make exercising at home a preferable option. Combine that with the ability to workout whenever your schedule allows, and the home gym has great appeal. Finding the right aerobic exercise equipment is an essential ingredient in setting up a home gym.
One of the key ingredients in finding the right exercise equipment is space. Large pieces of cardio fitness equipment can take up a rather large area. While many of these machines are able to be compacted for storage, the problem comes when it is time to actually use the fitness machine. Take measurements of the length and width of the exercise area and compare them to the measurements of the exercise equipment.
Small spaces would do well with smaller types of cardo equipment such as rowing machines, jump ropes, step machines or stationary exercise bicycles.
Larger spaces easily accommodate treadmills, elliptical machines or recumbent cycles.
The heavier the cardio fitness equipment, the harder it is to move. Even things such as folding treadmills or collapsible aerobic exercise equipment can be a pain to move. Additional personnel may be required when the fitness equipment arrives.
Fun Factor
The perfect aerobic exercise equipment needs to keep the user's attention in order to be useful. Changing the settings or displaying interesting statistics serves to motivate the user to reach his or her goals.
The more complex the operation of the cardio fitness equipment, the less likely it is to be used. Directions should be clearly stated and easy to understand.
New or used is the big question when purchasing the right fitness machine. New machines are typically more expensive. However, they do come with a warranty. Used machines are cheaper but do have downfalls. First, the condition of the cardio fitness equipment may not be pristine. Also, figure shipping prices and assembly fees into the overall cost of fitness equipment.
Fitness machine maintenance should be easily accomplished. All fitness machines need some type of maintenance performed. Any equipment needed to accomplish this should be included and the process explained in understandable terms in the users manual.
Finding the right cardio exercise equipment will encourage use and provide a keen sense of accomplishment when fitness goals are reached. Aerobic exercise equipment needs to be usable in the available space, able to hold the user's attention for long periods of time, easy to operate, affordable and easy to maintain. Fitness goals are attainable with the right equipment and motivation to succeed.

Other Exercise Machines
An elliptical machine delivers an extensive leg and lower body workout while combining muscle toning with cardio health. Elliptical trainers are perhaps the best all-around exercise machines. However, they are rather large pieces...

Join us for a fun night of laughter and lightheartedness
at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center on Saturday, November 2nd!
Amy Hill is our starring headliner and Esther Goodhart is our MC!
This will be an evening of fun to help raise awareness about a serious issue ~ the importance of mental health and disabilities in the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities.
We look forward to seeing you!
Buy your tickets today!
The National Asian American Pacific Islander Mental Health Association (NAAPIMHA) and the Asians and Pacific Islanders with Disabilities of California (APIDC), are pleased to announce its partnership with the Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) to host their second "Laughter is the Best Medicine" event on November 2nd, 2013 in Oakland. This will be an evening of fun to help raise awareness about a serious issue ~ the importance of mental health and disabilities in the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities.
Mental health and disabilities remain topics that are not often discussed in the community. This is often due to stigma, lack of adequate information or fear of not knowing what to do or say. NAAPIMHA, APIDC and OACC are all committed to improving the quality of life within the diverse AANHPI communities and through events such as this, we hope to raise not only the awareness but also change how we address these issues. Individuals who have experienced challenges are also very capable of leading productive, meaningful lives if given the proper support, resources and services.
While the primary focus is to raise awareness around the challenges facing our community, it is important to also celebrate life and recognize the healing power of laughter. We are asking for your help in making this event a success.
If you cannot attend, we would greatly appreciate a donation to support our outreach and advocacy efforts. A donation in the Friends or higher category will get recognized in the events booklet. We thank you for your support and look forward to traveling on this journey of hope and recovery together.
For further information about the event please contact JR Kuo at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NFL Draft 2014: Predictions for Where Most Dynamic Stars Will LandMarch 24, 2014
With the major waves of free agency largely in the rear-view mirror, the 2014 NFL draft is the last significant portion of the team-building process. While it is certainly not impossible to find important pieces after May, the draft represents the final opportunity for teams to address its most pressing concerns and unveil high-impact players.
As pro days occur, teams are beginning to finalize their evaluations of college prospects they have scouted for months. While nothing is set in stone a month ahead of the draft, there are fewer mysteries about team needs and preferences.
Using a post-free agency view, here are the updated most likely landing spots for some of this year's most dynamic playmakers.
Jadeveon Clowney, DE: Jacksonville Jaguars
One can poke and prod at Jadeveon Clowney's character all he or she wants, but the physical upside is higher than that of any other prospect in this draft class. Consequently, speculation has emerged that the South Carolina defensive end will not fall out of the top three:
The Jaguars look like a better schematic fit than the Texans, who hold the top overall pick and the first crack at Clowney. While Clowney's athleticism would likely reduce the learning curve if he needed to become a 3-4 outside linebacker, he is already proven as a deadly weapon in the 4-3.
NFL.com's Chase Goodbread reported that Gus Bradley was high on Clowney, and the Jaguars need a true defensive difference-maker. Though the ex-Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator has imported Chris Clemons and Red Bryant from his old team, Bradley still needs an impact edge-rusher.
Jason Babin is a solid veteran, but even with Babin's 7.5 sacks, Jacksonville ranked 30th in sack percentage last year, per TeamRankings.com. Although with free-agent fortifications, the Jags still do not have enough to aid their extremely young secondary.
Clowney is the type of immediate impact player who could revitalize a moribund Jaguars franchise. In terms of concerns about his motor and character, Bradley's sterling reputation as a players' coach seems like a fitting place to maximize Clowney's talents.
The Jaguars have enough needs that they could easily go in a different direction, especially if they fall in love with one of the top quarterbacks. Still, Clowney is arguably the class' top talent, and the talent-deficient Jags do not have much room to nitpick.
Sammy Watkins, WR: Oakland Raiders
With gobs of cap space to start free agency, the Raiders have largely splurged on veteran defensive leadership. While a culture change is certainly vital for an Oakland organization that has not made the postseason since 2002, the Raiders also need more talent for new quarterback Matt Schaub.
At the moment, Schaub's top target is James Jones, who was largely a secondary target in the Green Bay offense, and promising but unproven youngsters like Denarius Moore and Rod Streater. That's a far cry from the Andre Johnson-DeAndre Hopkins tandem in Houston, and at age 33, Schaub has proven he is a complementary piece rather than a quarterback who will elevate his supporting cast.
However, the Raiders could immediately infuse their passing game with a dangerous deep threat by selecting Clemson's Sammy Watkins. Watkins has separated himself as the class' top receiver and sees himself in a similar mold as one of the league's best current vertical receivers:
The Raiders do still have plenty of needs, as most of those veteran defensive free agents are merely stopgaps. Someone like Clowney or Khalil Mack would make for a nice apprentice to new additions such as Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley.
Nonetheless, for an organization that has famously valued speed, Watkins brings significantly more polish than most speed demons. As Football Outsiders' Matt Waldman notes in this extremely detailed scouting report, Watkins possesses excellent body control that makes him a more diverse and accomplished route-runner than mainstream perception gives him credit for.
Quite simply, Watkins is a totally different receiver than the Raiders have had in years. For an offense that has largely stagnated over the past decade, the Clemson product would represent a rejuvenating force.
Khalil Mack, DE/OLB: Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have signed plenty of big-bodied run-stuffing defensive linemen in free agency. A common misconception is that 4-3 defenses need more defensive linemen, but in reality, 3-4 teams really need three defensive tackle types who can effectively two-gap, while the outside linebackers act as hybrids who can pass-rush and drop into coverage.
The Falcons currently do not possess a viable option for the latter requirement, especially with Kroy Biermann coming off a debilitating Achilles injury. However, there are few better fits for their new scheme than Buffalo's Khalil Mack. NFL.com's Mike Huguenin relayed Mack's belief that a 3-4 outside linebacker is his best role, and it's a connection many draftniks are making:
Mack is as physically freakish as Clowney, but unlike the polarizing Gamecock, the former is a much more polished product. As SBNation.com's Stephen White illustrates, Mack has already translated his supreme athleticism into sound coverage techniques. That advantage raises his floor significantly, even if his ceiling might be a tad below that of Clowney's.
It's unclear what changes defensive coordinator Mike Nolan will implement after receiving a two-year contract extension. The brevity means that Nolan will need to see results immediately, and Atlanta figures to provide him with the personnel needed for an immediate turnaround.
One possibility might be using Mack as a wide-alignment "LEO" type, much like the position Michael Bennett played for the Seahawks last year. Mack has proven most effective when playing in space, and while such a role would not utilize his coverage skills as frequently, it would also maximize his impact as an edge-rusher.
Multiplicity rules in the world of defensive scheming, and Mack is among the most versatile defensive players in the draft. The Falcons have done well to turn around a putrid run defense, and Mack could complement those skills to suddenly form a promising front seven.
Blake Bortles, QB: Houston Texans
Per ProFootballTalk.com's Michael David Smith, Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien told reporters that "he is sure" his team will select a quarterback at some point in the draft. While O'Brien did not specify which round, that only adds the possibility of Central Florida's Blake Bortles going first overall.
Houston's signing of Ryan Fitzpatrick should not materially impact their draft plans. Fitzpatrick is a capable backup and smart veteran leader. But as he has demonstrated in Tennessee and Buffalo, he is a turnover-prone passer who is best used in short relief, rather than as a permanent starter.
Thus, the Texans are likely still looking for their next franchise quarterback. Bortles possesses all of the qualities necessary to succeed in such a capacity, and while his footwork and mechanics under pressure are a concern, O'Brien was largely impressed with those skills at the quarterback's pro day:
If anything, Fitzpatrick's signing theoretically improves the likelihood of Bortles ending up in Houston. Many observers, such as MMQB.com's Greg Bedard, believe Bortles is a raw product whose inconsistent delivery would lead to a disastrous turnover-filled rookie season. Fitzpatrick provides a buffer who could play regularly while Bortles learns and polishes his mechanics.
Selecting Bortles would also represent a concession from the Texans that perhaps they are not equipped for a Chiefs-esque worst-to-first rebound. Houston may have won back-to-back division titles before their disastrous 2-14 2013 season, but an aging core has finally come to roost, and there is likely not enough talent to make a postseason return in 2014.
Still, Bortles gives the Texans the best opportunity to compete with division rival Andrew Luck and the Colts, who figure to dominate the AFC South so long as Luck remains healthy. Houston (and every other team in the division) needs a prospect capable of developing into a foil for Luck, and Bortles offers the highest ceiling of any quarterback in this draft class.

Discussion in 'People Photography' started by AdrianBetti, Oct 20, 2008.
Regarding the temperature, I was going for somewhat of a old film style look . I'm not sure if I blew it or not... but I think the last one could be turned down a bit. I told the model not to cheese grin me but I found out later that her facial expressions looked better when she showed just a little bit of teeth. We got to location kind of late because of uh... well, you know and I didn't have time to set up my reflector before the sunset and I should have. Ok, nuff with the excuses. Ah, reshoot.
Her facial expressions (the expressionless stare) look the same in every photo, and it doesn't seem to fit the mood of the scene you are capturing.
Ok, I appreciate the feedback. How about the other parts to the photograph, like the composition, lighting, etc... I'm not sure if a cheezy smile would fit this scene either... or would it?
The last one is my fave I love how she is on the far left of the photo.
Not too crazy about the third one, her pose seems weird to me
I like these, the second one needs to be straightened and the last few are a little soft but all in all I like them. To your comment on trying to get an older style film, I'd say you did not accomplish that, but like I said I like them.
The model and the location are great elements. The way you have put them together is a little tough. Photos 1 & 3 are distracting because of the rail. Photos 2 & 4 are closer, but her bod seems to be in an awkward position. Side views in general are really tough.
When shooting; first consider the models shape and accentuate that. Start with the model at 3/4 and go from there. Try everything. I enjoy her serious look, but switch emotions with every frame. Try pensive, inviting and pissed off.
I think the golden tones work well with the environment.
Love & Bass
DAMN, she has got some curves!
My fav is #5 I like the composition and the pose on my monitor the color temp is a tad low but I'm not color corrected or anything #3 has the best color on my monitor and it would be my favorite if cropped to look like #2 (I think) it fits her facial expression best I guess I think the way her body is seated on the lader there doesn't quite work for her body.
Separate names with a comma.

Supreme Court should support health care act
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, April 1, 2012
Three days of Supreme Court debate over the landmark health care law dissected the ingredients of President Obama's signature accomplishment. But the hearings also delineated the makeup and views of the high court, a group as deeply divided and politicized as the rest of the country over the law.
The heart of the fight was, of course, the individual mandate, a requirement that all Americans - actually the 30 million to 50 million without insurance - purchase coverage or pay a penalty for the free ride they get from public health programs. The public is deeply divided on the issue, and so are the Supreme Court's nine justices.

The idea of roping in everyone to pay the health care bills is the center point of the law. That's how insurance pools work - by combining payments from the healthy to pay for the expenses of the sick. It's not a single-payer, government-run system, instead obliging everyone to find coverage.
The White House firmly believes this requirement is legal. Congress has the right and duty to regulate national commerce, and health care, which accounts for 17 percent of the economy, certainly qualifies. Lower courts have divided on this issue, bringing the weighty matter before the high court, which is expected to issue its ruling in June.
The idea of the individual mandate has infuriated conservatives, who view it as an unwarranted expansion of government that tramples personal liberty. It's the broccoli question, as raised by Justice Antonin Scalia, who wondered whether Washington might next compel citizens to buy vegetables in the name of improved health. Justice Samuel Alito chimed in by asking if burial insurance should be required, too.
This tough questioning - and the Obama team's windy courtroom response - led to predictions by court watchers that the mandate will be tossed, leaving the rest of the law in doubt. Scalia, ever the fire-breather, added to the drama by suggesting that cutting the mandate would mean "the statute's gone."
Liberal Justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg refused to go along. They suggested that even if the mandate were gone, the rest of the law should remain. Features could remain, such as prohibitions on denying coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, and allowing young people to remain on their parents' policies until they reach age 26.
Part of a worthy law may be better than none. But saving the entirety of Obamacare would be best. This court and past ones have upheld Congress' right to oversee commercial affairs, a significant and essential duty of government. The issue, divisive as it is, is still one that the high court should support as constitutionally sound.

Could Bayonne and Biarritz merge to form a Basque Country superclub? That rumour – along with several about which rugby superstars Mourad Boudjellal may be bringing to Toulon next season – is doing the rounds in the Top 14 right now.
There's an early chance to compare the merits and otherwise of the two struggling sides, who meet at Jean Dauger on Saturday. Given the sorry form of Biarritz this season, it's hard to see the bottom-of-the-table visitors clawing back any of the five points between them and the team that sits just one place above them.
Elsewhere, coaches Laurent Labit and Laurent Travers will be back on familiar territory as they take Racing Metro to Castres Olympique, the side they guided to Brennus-winning glory last season.
Castres have have beaten all-comers at home, but have been unable to win away this term. They have come close twice – against Perpignan and Bordeaux – but were blown away in the second half at Toulouse last week.
That said, few visiting teams win at Fortress Pierre Antoine. Grenoble couldn't do it. Stade Francais couldn't do it. Toulon couldn't do it. Even if Racing manage – finally – to play to their expensively assembled potential, they probably won't be able to do it, either… especially as Castres' players will want to show their old coaches exactly what they're missing.
Oyonnax's 15-16 defeat against Stade Francais last weekend brought to a halt a two-year unbeaten home run. They will have their work cut out holding back the rouge-et-noir tide of Toulon on Saturday, but don't expect that there will be much in this. The hosts are tough to beat at home, as Clermont, Castres and Biarritz have already discovered, and Bernard Laporte's Var side have looked a little out of sorts in recent weeks.
After their morale-shredding 43-3 defeat at Montpellier last week, Clermont boss Vern Cotter is probably secretly delighted that his side are back at home, where they haven't been beaten in 63 games. Expect that number to increase to 64 after the visit of Bordeaux this weekend.
Clermont's conquerors from the Herault region of southern France, meanwhile, face a difficult trip to Stade Jean-Bouin, the new-look home of a born-again Stade Francais. The hosts are defending a perfect record this season and are unlikely to lose it against Fabien Galthie's side who are finding life on the road much more difficult than at home.
The last time they were on the road, they were destroyed in an astonishing 20-minute blitz at Perpignan. This week, James Hook and co welcome Toulouse. Guy Noves' side have been nearly unstoppable at home and approaching awful away. Chances are they won't be quite as awful as they were against Montpellier a fortnight ago, but all the indications are that the hosts will squeak home.
All of which just leaves Grenoble v Brive. This looks an easy call on paper. Grenoble should win on home soil – but, if the Top 14 has proved anything this season, it's that what looks simple on paper is a whole lot more difficult on the pitch. Not that Brive should give the hosts much trouble at Stade Lesdiguieres. On paper, at least.
SuperBru predictions:
Stade Francais v Montpellier: Stade Francais to win by 12
Oyonnax v Toulon: Toulon to win by 7
Bayonne v Biarritz: Bayonne to win by 9
Castres v Racing Metro: Castres to win by 12
Grenoble v Brive: Grenoble to win by 7
Perpignan v Toulouse: Perpignan to win by 4
Clermont v Bordeaux: Clermont to win by 15

DePauw Among USA Today's "Colleges Going Cyber"
March 2, 2006
March 2, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - "DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind., tracks the pages on its site that students visit and customizes their Web experience accordingly," notes a story in USA Today. The article, headlined "Colleges going cyber: Tech transforms recruiting," includes this quote from Dennis Trinkle '91, chief information officer at DePauw: "We lean more heavily on their behavior than in what they say interests them."
In the piece, published today, Alvin P. Sanoff looks at how "technology is transforming how colleges communicate with high school students they are trying to woo." DePauw and other colleges and universities mentioned in the text are going "beyond just communicating with applicants by e-mail; schools are creating recruiting websites full of bells and whistles or that can be personalized to a student's interests," Sanoff writes.
A sidebar notes that "DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind., offers a virtual tour of the campus in the form of an interactive video game that mimics popular 'quest' games."

Tonight is Earth Hour [Video]
Earth Hour began in 2007 when most of Sydney, Australia shut off its lights for an hour to raise awareness about climate change. In the past four years, the event has spread world wide, as seen in the video above. Now, major landmarks all over the world will go dark tonight as a reminder that the Earth is a resource shared by over six billion human beings. Even YouTube got in on the act today by adding a lightbulb to their logo and clickable light switch that toggled the website between a light and dark mode.
For those interested, the Earth Hour website encourages you to shut off all your lights for an hour tonight at 8:30 pm local time.

If you could make 1 or 2 suggestions to support/assist a new faculty member who has never worked with deaf students, what would they be?
Click on the images below to see video of the teacher's comments.
Mike Palanski
Management and Leadership, Saunders College of Business
Hi, I'm Dr. Mike Palanski I'm in the Saunders College of Business, I teach Management and Leadership classes. Remember that deaf or hard of hearing students in your class, are students first and foremost just like everybody else, they have the same hopes and dreams, same struggles academically and with life that's important to keep in mind. It's just we communicate differently with those students than with hearing students.
Sharon Mason
Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences
My name is Sharon Mason, I'm an associate professor in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences. The first suggestion I would make to any faculty who have deaf students in their classes is to make full use of the interpreters that are available to them and the support staff that are available to them. And make it an exchange of ideas and ask for feedback, particularly from the interpreters as to how things are going in the classroom and how your instruction is. Whether you're talking too fast, too slow, using too many hand gestures, using words that are not definitive enough for the students to understand. In the College of Computing in particular we use a lot of acronyms. So communicating with the interpreters about how to represent those acronyms can be very useful.
Mike Slifka
Manufacturing & Mechanical Engineering, College of Applied Science & Technology
I'm Professor Mike Slifka, I'm over with CAST and MMETPS. Visual learning, visual learning, visual learning, absolutely, positively is a must. There's been discussions on different methodologies and such, but when you have a cross between hearing and deaf and hard of hearing students, you really need to have that visual aspect of it. Deaf students are very obviously visual, so that is the way that you can make sure that everybody sees the same thing. You keep everything as clear as possible, potentially as simple as possible and that usually has worked the best. When I've had classrooms where I've had a mix of students if you try to sit there and just verbalize or use some type of graphics on the board and stuff it can be lost. So if you prepare ahead of time and you make sure that everything is set up correctly so there is that communication, that clarity between your students and yourself. It's almost a must, it absolutely is a must.
Dawn Carter
Biology, School of Life Sciences, College of Science
Hi I'm Doctor Dawn Carter. I teach biology in the school of life sciences in the College of Science. Be aware that if you move around the class, sometimes the interpreter can't hear you. And some of the students may be trying to read your lips and if they can't see you then that is a problem. So I think that communication between the instructor, the interpreters and the students is very important. I think also it's important to not go too fast. This is a thing that an interpreter told me. Don't go too fast because the students need to be able to read what's on your slides. Sometimes they are trying to read and watch the interpreter at the same time, it's a lot to process more than it is for the hearing students. But it benefits the hearing students too if you slow down.
Carol Marchetti
Statistics, College of Science
Hi, I'm Carol Marchetti. I'm associate professor of Statistics in the College of Science. I would tell a faculty member that probably the first thing that I would think about is the pace of the course. You want to be clear, less is more, right. You want to be sure people understand. And I think that you want to pay attention to the students in the class themselves and get feedback from them. And I also have found it very valuable to ask my interpreters and support staff how things are going.
Christine Kray
Sociology and Anthropology, College of Liberal Arts
I'm Christine Kray, I'm an associate professor of anthropology in the department of sociology and anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts. Whatever you do to enhance access for the deaf students will also benefit the hearing students. Here's one way that I handle presentations that I think enhances the experience for both the deaf and the hearing students. So we use myCourses a lot and I will require that the students, deaf and hearing students post the text of their presentation to a discussion area in myCourses 24 hours in advance and I explain that this gives the interpreters and the captionists the opportunity to review the materials so that the interpreters are all ready to voice that presentation, the captionists as well, they're all ready to voice that presentation in advance, alright, so it makes for a stronger, more coherent presentation.
Eileen Feeney Bushnell
Foundation Program, College of Imaging Arts and Sciences
Hi my name is Eileen Feeney Bushnell I'm an Associate Professor and I teach in the foundation program in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences. One of the most important things is to understand that everybody needs to think about the setup of the classroom, and that is not just you and the interpreter and the deaf students but all of the other students in the classroom. You need to be aware of sight lines, you need to be aware that of how people are positioned in the classroom. The other thing that I would talk to instructors about and I have is that deaf students are reliant on your body language, your facial expressions as well as the words and so you need to be aware that you're communicating to them even if it is through an interpreter and to make sure that you address them, face them and engage them.
Neil Hair
Marketing, E. Phillip Saunders College of Business
Hi I'm Neil Hair, I'm an Associate Professor of Marketing at the E. Phillip Saunders College of Business. First thing I always do whenever I enter a class where I'm dealing with deaf students is very quickly get to know the support staff and greet them as colleagues and really make sure that they understand where I'm coming from that I want to give the deaf students the deaf population, an equal footing and an equal experience if you like then I would my hearing students as well and that's proven to be very useful for me and once they know that you are on their side they'll work with you and if they particular issues with you, if they find themselves trying to catch up with what you're saying, I tend speak very quickly for instance, I make it very clear to them it is okay to stop me, it's okay, mid-sentence if you need to or give me some sort of a sign that says to slow it down little bit for me. And during the breaks I always make sure if there are any questions I want to be aware of what those questions are and I can see from the students as well whether or not if they are getting enough from the support staff that are helping me do my job and that's the way that I see my role in that classroom.
Neil Hair
Marketing, E. Phillip Saunders College of Business
Hi I'm Neil Hair, I'm an Associate Professor of Marketing at the E. Phillip Saunders College of Business. My other advice for new faculty is say penguin as often as you can or elephant and watch the interpreter interpret that it's quite amusing to watch the penguin side to side. Everybody gets involved when they see that because hearing students have never seen someone do that before, or Christmas trees or angels or cute and things like that and so we have some fun with that and I think that breaks down all these barriers that we commonly associate with a class with deaf students, it doesn't have to be, it doesn't have to be a pain it can be quite rewarding having deaf students in my class. The other thing of course is to make sure that they've sat in the front so they can see what's going on the resources but I really enjoy interacting with them and I'm a firm believer after a number of years at RIT that they add tremendous value to the classroom experience for every student, not just the deaf community themselves.

As anticipated, the outcome wasn't pretty: a tiny increase in the maximum Pell Grant, level funding for biomedical research, and serious damage to Perkins Loans and several key health professions programs. But it could have been much, much worse for higher education.
The House of Representatives subcommittee that provides funds for education and job training programs and the National Institutes of Health drafted its 2006 spending bill [1] Thursday, and because House leaders had given the panel significantly less money to work with than it had last year, it voted to eliminate or slash funding for dozens of programs over all.
But all things considered, the measure produced by the House panel treated colleges and universities decently -- and, on the whole, far better than the budget President Bush proposed in February. "Given the subcommittee's allocation, and what the president had put on table, we're grateful that we came out of this alive," said David Baime, vice president for government relations at the American Association of Community Colleges.
The bill put forward by the panel's Republican majority, which was approved 11 to 7 along party lines (after nasty bickering over to what extent the tight budget could be blamed on Republican-sponsored tax cuts and profligate military and other spending), would protect several programs that the administration's budget had recommended eliminating, including the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education program, the Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Gear Up programs that help disadvantaged students attend college, and the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program.
Those programs would all be financed at their current 2005 levels under the subcommittee's plan: $837 million for the Upward Bound, Talent Search, and the other TRIO programs; $306 million for Gear Up, $1.2 billion for the Perkins vocational program, and $65 million for LEAP, which matches state spending on need-based aid.
The subcommittee's budget would provide enough money to increase the maximum Pell Grant by $50 to $4,100 -- half of the $100 rise called for by President Bush's budget and by the 2006 budget resolution approved by Congress. The House measure also would shuffle money around to eliminate the program's $4.3 billion shortfall. It also would finance most other key student aid programs -- such as federal work study and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants -- at their current levels.
After months of lobbying and sky-is-falling rhetoric, student aid advocates expressed appreciation and not a small amount of relief.
"We're cautiously optimistic, though it's only the beginning of the process," said Susan Trebach, a spokeswoman for the Council for Educational Opportunity, which lobbies for the TRIO programs.
Baime, of the community college association, applauded the increase in Pell Grants and the restoration of the Perkins vocational programs. Also of interest to two-year institutions, the subcommittee's spending plan would restore about $400 million in adult education funds that the Bush budget proposed eliminating, and it would provide $125 million for a new community college job training initiative that President Bush has touted -- half of the $250 million the president requested.
Cynthia J. Littlefield, director of government relations for the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, credited an aggressive lobbying campaign by the Student Aid Alliance [2] with the mostly favorable outcome for financial assistance programs. The one casualty was that the subcommittee endorsed the Bush administration's proposal to provide no new funds for the Perkins Loan Program, which gives colleges money to lend at a fixed low rate to students from low-income families. But the House panel, in contrast to the administration, did not propose that colleges return the federal portion of the Perkins funds that they already have and use to make new loans to students.
Like student aid supporters, advocates for biomedical research were generally relieved by the treatment of their most significant priority -- in the case of the latter, the NIH research budget, which would rise to $28.5 billion in the subcommittee's plan. Although that increase of $145 million, or 0.5 percent, over the 2005 budget seems paltry compared to the huge boosts the NIH grew accustomed to as Congress doubled its budget in the first half of this decade, officials at research universities know the budget climate is tough and aren't complaining.
They are deeply troubled, though, that the House panel, like the Bush administration, would wipe out about $250 million of the $300 million that Congress provided last year for federal programs that support the education and training of health professionals.
The subcommittee's bill would provide $47 million for the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students program, but wipe out another $70 million or so for other programs that encourage racial and socioeconomic diversity among health professionals, another $89 million that supports primary care programs in medicine and dentistry, and $82 million to encourage interdisciplinary work in such areas as allied health and geriatrics. Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) called the committee's stance "deplorable" and an "assault on minority serving institutions."
The Bush administration has proposed severe cutbacks in several of those programs in recent years, but Congressional appropriators have consistently restored them. The fact that the House panel did not concerns health educators. "We're very disappointed that the subcommittee did not restore funding for these programs," said Dave Moore, senior associate vice president for government relations at the Association of American Medical Colleges, who said the cuts, if enacted, could be "devastating" to some university programs.
Moore said that the association had "a little bit of hope" that the Senate, which last year voted to spend more on the health professions programs than the House did, might restore the programs when it considers its version of the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education spending bill in the next several weeks.
But he noted somewhat ruefully that health educators would not be alone on that path. "Anybody that got cut or eliminated in the House and thought they should not have is already running across the Hill to complain to their senators, so there'll be tremendous competition," Moore said, for such relief.
Across Capitol Hill Thursday, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a spending bill that would increase funds for the National Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowment for the Arts by $5 million each in the 2006 fiscal year. The full committee approved an amendment sponsored by Sen. Robert W. Byrd (D-W.V.) that would boost spending on the NEH to $143.1 million and funds for the NEA to $126.3 million.
A Senate subcommittee had voted Tuesday to keep spending on the two agencies at last year's levels, $138.1 million and $121.3 million, respectively. A competing measure passed by the House of Representatives last month would give the NEH $143 million and the NEA $131 million.

Smith revved up to be reunited with old running mate
- |
It was nine years ago, but Lovie Smith remembers the halcyon days in the Edward Jones Dome as if they were yesterday.
Mike Martz, in his second year as Rams head coach, imported Smith from the Buccaneers to fix the team's defense, and before anyone knew it, one side of the ball in St. Louis was mirroring the other.
It was football on amphetamines. Everything the Rams did was blindingly fast, and with the defense and offense in philosophical lockstep, St. Louis marched to a 14-2 record and rolled to the Super Bowl, where it was upended by the Patriots in one of the game's great upsets.
Smith's idea is to bring yesterday back to today in Chicago. And that's a big part of why Martz is again working in tandem with him, ushered in as the Bears' offensive coordinator in January.
The vision for the Bears, different as the personnel might be, is the same as it was for the Rams back then: Play ball at a frantic pace. Fitting, too, given the heightened pressure in Chicago, where it seems so many jobs are on the line.
"We had just a great experience [in 2001], all the way through, even though it didn't did end the way we wanted,'' Smith said. "Going into those games, we knew that, for the most part, we were going to put points on the board, and that's such a great thing for a defensive coach, knowing we could play a certain brand of ball.
"Fans love defense, but most go to see offense, and we had all of that. We had a lot of special players on that roster, the Marshall Faulks and Kurt Warners. And we were exciting to watch — fast-break offense, fast-break defense, just a fast team overall. That's what we want to be, and I think we have a fast team here in Chicago.''
What Smith & Co. don't have is the public favor they once engendered. General manager Jerry Angelo hired Smith in 2004, and the Bears went from 5-11 to 11-5 to 13-3, making the Super Bowl following the 2006 season.
Things have been decidedly uneven since. The Bears have gone 23-25 the last three years, and increased competition from Green Bay and Minnesota made them an afterthought at 7-9 in 2009.
But worse was the fashion in which things have gone down. The once-proud defense has ranked in the bottom half of the league the last two years, and the offense lost its trademark ability to grind it out on the ground while remaining inconsistent through the air, even after adding quarterback Jay Cutler.
At the heart of the problem: turnovers. On offense, a propensity to give the ball away negated any growth. On defense, the inability to create takeaways marked declining playmaking overall.
"You can't win games like that,'' Smith said. "To lose the turnover ratio the way we did, you just can't win like that. That's what we want to correct.''
That ties back into that old Ram philosophy: Establish the offense as a juggernaut, get leads, hold them by possessing the ball, and build on them by forcing turnovers from a trailing opponent.
This kind of "playing downhill'' is what Martz and Smith subscribe to.
"We have a 'Chicago Bear philosophy' on offense and defense; I believe in it, and with Mike Martz, I know it'll work,'' said Smith, who first worked with Martz on Larry Marmie's staff at Arizona State from 1988-91. "He's with a coach now that believes in him, and he knows that, and that'll help him. And he knows what we can do defensively. We have that type of trust because of our track record and history.''
There are a few things, though, that Smith has to count on.
The issues with a tattered offensive line will have to work themselves out. And Martz will have to revitalize the run game — "There's a misnomer there, because Mike's an excellent run-game football coach,'' Smith says — behind Matt Forte and free agent Chester Taylor, something new line coach Mike Tice should help with.
The expectation is that a young stable of receivers (Devin Hester, Johnny Knox, Devin Aromashodu, Earl Bennett) will develop under Martz, and that having tackle-type tight end Brandon Manumaleuna will give him creative license to use versatile Greg Olsen.
And then there's Cutler, who threw a career-high 26 interceptions after Chicago yielded a king's ransom of draft capital to acquire him.
"Beyond just Mike, for Jay to have a Hall of Fame guy like Kurt Warner to call on from time to time, and to be able to see what Kurt did in that offense, it's invaluable,'' Smith said. "What's best for the team in general is bringing in good coaches. But as far as having the best possible person to work with Jay, a quarterback guru that has a track record of taking guys to a higher level, that's Mike Martz.
"It's such a good fit. They're both cerebral guys, and both guys get it.''
Smith thinks he can get the defense covered. If motivated, newcomer Julius Peppers could be a monster off the edge, and the coach also sees linebackers Brian Urlacher and Pisa Tinoisamoa, who combined to play in three games in 2009, as "acquisitions'' as they return from injury. And Chris Harris returns from Carolina to fill a hole at safety.
Taking all these high-profile moves into account, it's clear that it's "win now'' time in Chicago. It won't be easy, to be sure, with the NFC North an increasingly daunting place. But for everything else's that's changed, Smith says the pressure he's feeling is no different than it ever has been.
"Every day I've had a coaching job, I've felt the need to win,'' Smith said. "The goal is always to win. Some years, we wanted to win but things just weren't in place. That's not the case now.
"We feel like things are in place for us to win now. We need to, and I feel like we're going to.''
Arena League could be just what Russell needsThat JaMarcus Russell (left) has been unemployed for a week and a half is hardly stunning, given a three-year career arc that looks like a ski slope. Ousted from Oakland, Russell is the first quarterback taken first overall in the draft to wash out of his original home this quick since the merger.
Epic failure? Sure. Salvageable? Anything's possible.
But the place for salvation could surprise you: the Arena Football League. And not just to humble a 24-year-old who essentially has made $39 million to fall on his face at a record rate.
Playing in the AFL could force Russell to work on areas of weakness. His arm strength would be mitigated as an asset, and because of the pace of the game, he'd be forced to become a better decision-maker, get rid of the ball quicker, and put more touch on his passes.
"It would really help the process,'' said an NFL personnel man. "The three-step game, learning to get rid of the ball, processing information quicker, all those things there would make him better.''
In a play-action passing game, with a strong running attack that would allow him to strike downfield, there could be some future in the NFL for Russell.
But whether he gets through his issues or goes to the Arena League and comes back stronger, it's clear that a lot of scouts misevaluated this guy.
"I don't think he was overly accurate in college,'' said the personnel man, "and you're not going to all of a sudden be accurate in the pros if you aren't at that level.
"But the No. 1 thing you can see is he can't read defenses. He forces the ball. He can make all the throws, and you could see that when they beat Philly — he made throws to beat Philly — but they played well defensively, and everything had to fall in line for him.
"It'll have to be the right system for it to work for him — give him half-field reads, quarter-field reads, and a strong running game. He can't be chucking it 40 times a game.''
'Toxic' behavior fits psychologist's profileThe charges against Lawrence Taylor (left) — third-degree rape, patronizing a prostitute — are as tawdry as they come, but the circumstance, sadly, is not all together shocking.
And count noted clinical psychologist Stanley Teitelbaum — who authored books related to Taylor's problems titled "Sports Heroes, Fallen Idols'' (2005) and "Athletes Who Indulge Their Dark Side'' (2009) — among those who think Taylor's fame actually created a predisposition for this to come about. It's part of what Teitelbaum calls the "Toxic Athlete Profile.''
"I did write a passage on Taylor in the book, and he stands out, because he's always been reckless, and he'd describe himself as a 'system breaker,' '' Teitelbaum said. "He'd tell you himself, 'I live in the fast lane, that's all I've ever done.' ''
Teitelbaum said the sense of entitlement and recklessness was likely in place far before Taylor became a Giant.
And while the Giants weren't at fault for the issues themselves, they did little to fix the problem. Teitelbaum cited a $2 million life insurance policy the Giants took out on Taylor — because the club doubted he would live past 30 — as proof they were aware of the problems.
"The Giants aren't culpable, but their treatment of him served as reinforcement,'' Teitelbaum said. "All the small things — falling asleep in meetings, not showing up — were met with a slap on the wrist. With someone else, there'd be big penalties, but LT got treated in a special way.''
The entitlement aspect of this has come up in the Ben Roethlisberger saga, and Teitelbaum finds the fact that women have come into the picture particularly disturbing.
Can the power complex be fixed?
"With Taylor, it'll be more difficult, because he's been that way for so long,'' Teitelbaum said. "Roethlisberger has a better shot. Very often, getting caught serves as that deterrent for straightening out, and maybe it will for Ben. But for Taylor, he's no longer active. What's his life going forward?''

Last week we post about all the latest advancements of the Unity 3.4 engine. Admittedly, reading feature lists for an engine isn't the best way to get an idea of what it's capable of, especially if you're not already intimately familiar with it as a developer. Thankfully, Unity just released a totally free tech demo similar to Epic's Epic Citadel surrounding the release of the Unreal Engine on iOS devices.
Unity's answer is Angry Bots [Free] which unlike Epic Citadel is much more game-like. It's a dual stick shooter that has a bit of a Dead Space vibe to it with your health bar on the back of your character. If you manage to die, the game takes hints from BioShock and spawns you at the nearest Vita Chamber-like point.
Despite the (hopefully tongue in cheek) name, Angry Bots is actually really cool. It's not very difficult, but it's not supposed to be a game, it's a tech demo. I'm totally excited to see more games using the 3.4 engine, and you likely will be too after giving Angry Bots a try.

Women's club marks 60 years of service
Published 12:17 pm, Thursday, January 17, 2013
Truce Hahn, originally from The Netherlands, is 89 years old but spry as ever, carefully recalling memories of when she arrived in Shavano Park in 1959 with her husband.
Back then, Shavano Park had been an incorporated town only three years. Hahn volunteered to help the local volunteer fire department by typewriting copy for The Flame, a monthly newsletter that included news from around the vicinity.
"We did it once a month for a few years. I got on a bicycle and passed out the newsletter to neighbors," Hahn said.
Marcia Stipek and Margaret Kautz, Shavano Park Women's Club board members, say Hahn's entrepreneurial spirit is one of many examples of local women helping to strengthen their community.

Mayor David Marne and other city leaders on Jan. 10 formally recognized the women's club's 60th anniversary and celebrated its ongoing community service.
More than 25 past and present members, including two who had been part of the club as far back as 1970, enjoyed a reception at City Hall.
That's where the women's club unveiled six park custom-made benches it had bought for public enjoyment outside City Hall.
The city helped by paying for shipping and installation of the benches as well as bronze plaques on each bench that read: "Dedicated by Shavano Park Women's and Garden Clubs, 60 years of community service, established 1952."
"Taking a look at the pictures of members past and present, I'm truly impressed by some amazing women," said Stipek, current club president. Stipek joined the group in 1998, shortly after moving from California to Texas.
The Shavano Park Women's Club's origin goes back to 1952 when a small group of local women organized the Shavano Park Gardeners.
With time, the city grew and so did the array of interests and needs among residents. The garden club recognized and became the women's club in 1970.
For much of the 1970s, the women's club sponsored programs and events, along with gardening activities, to benefit the public.
In 1978, separate women's and gardening clubs were established to focus on their own specific needs. The women's club has organized various family events such as barbecues, Easter egg hunts, parades, Fourth of July celebrations, and Christmas/holiday gatherings.
Both clubs have conducted fundraisers and projects, ranging from developing the City Hall garden to helping to acquire furniture or decorations for city employee.
Other community service projects have included a city phone directory, a City Council candidate forum, city staff appreciation luncheons, a cookbook with recipes by residents, and a welcome committee that greets new residents with information about the city.
The club has been part of the evolution of the aforementioned local newsletter. Members Susan Rehm and Randi Wayland had worked on The Flame newsletter.
Wayland said the publication's name changed to The Roadrunner because a roadrunner began visiting her property and she often fed it.
Since 1952, the women's club has had more than 55 presidents, including Hahn, Kautz, Wayland and Rehm, as well as 300 board members and 3,000 members.
"When I look through pictures from the past 60 years, they show that the (women's) club has always had something to do with the community," Marne told the crowd Jan. 10.
"We wouldn't be here today without the club. It predates the city."
"The club has done many great projects for the city. I want to thank everyone for your contributions," added Councilwoman Mary Werner, a past club president and present board member. Stipek wrote in the January Shavano Park Roadrunner newsletter that, upon her family's move to town 15 years ago, finding local resources and making personal connections to establish new roots and traditions was a necessity.
The club made her search easier.
"The Shavano Park Women's Club welcomed our family with a gift basket and information about our wonderful community," Stipek wrote.
"I would say the women's club is the backbone of the community," she added at last week's event.
