Forza. Articulate meets assertive.
Succinct geometries make for an expressive type family that's ardent, disciplined, shrewd, and commanding.
Some of the world's most complex typography can be found in magazines. Their formal requirements are daunting — even the simplest magazine includes listings, tables, complex navigation systems, and painterly display typography — but even more daunting are the multitude of editorial voices that they require. A title such as Wired might take "technology" as its theme, but it covers technological topics from cultural, political, commercial, social, and philosophical perspectives. Science requires a different voice than science fiction, as do lofty prognostications and down-to-earth service pieces. The title that includes all of these needs an especially acrobatic family of fonts.
When Wired commissioned us to design a sans serif companion to Vitesse, our square-shouldered slab serif typeface, it was an irresistible challenge. Square sans serifs have always been among typography's most wooden designs — too often they can be cold-blooded, crude, gimmicky, or simply bland — and without care, a mechanical typeface might seem unsubtle, too obvious a choice for a magazine concerned with technology.
Like all square sans serifs, Forza appears to be made from an abridged kit of lines and curves. We outfitted the typeface with a much larger and more sophisticated visual vocabulary, to ensure that common casualties like the lowercase a (plus definite victims §, £ and €) could be rendered in a style consistent with the rest of the design. These same subtle complexities allow the design to extend to a broad range of weights, from a crisp Thin to a muscular Black, with matching italics throughout. And to help Forza withstand passing fads, we allowed its forms to reference a century's worth of good ideas, from sources as disparate as early engraved postage stamps, and enamel signs on Italian railways. With care, these moods can be coaxed out of Forza, lending extra versatility to this expressive family of thoroughly modern typefaces.
Forza ScreenSmart: High-Performance Webfonts
Forza ScreenSmart is an adaptation of the family specifically engineered for the screen, and available for use on the web through Cloud.typography. To ensure outstanding rendering on screen at sizes as small as nine pixels, we carefully adjusted the fonts' fit, color, and proportions, and orchestrated their progression of weights so that each style is distinctly different from its neighbors. Like all ScreenSmart fonts, Forza ScreenSmart is equipped with a set of detailed instructions called "hints," which tell its outlines how to adapt themselves to pixel grids at different point sizes, to ensure that the fonts always retain both their legibility and their personality.

Student learns servanthood in several forms during summer in New York
PLAINVIEW-Summer missions experiences are known for leaving their participants with valuable lessons. For Stephanie Skiles, her summer taught her all the things not to do in New York.
"People kept laughing at me because I was always getting stopped by the police," Skiles chuckled.
For the Wayland Baptist University sophomore from Glen Rose, the summer was an exercise in servanthood that took many forms. Her primary job was serving as a summer secretary for the New York Divinity School, located in Manhattan in Times Square, a position through Go Now Missions, a division of the Student Ministries department of the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
Skiles worked for the president of the seminary, Dr. Paul deVries, helping him with various tasks and doing research and editing for a book he is writing. Her work also involved coordinating any mission groups that came to serve at the seminary.
But like any summer missionary quickly learns, just about any task can become part of your job description if needed. She recalls one afternoon where she ended up on the floor in her business attire, dismantling an old refrigerator.
"If they said it, I did it," Skiles said with a smile. "If you've ever even thought about doing it, you might end up doing it as a missionary."
During the evenings, Skiles had other duties. On Monday and Wednesday nights, she worked in Brooklyn at the African Friendship Center, teaching English to immigrants from West Africa. Specifically, several ladies from Senegal came out for lessons, and Skiles bonded with a young girl named Abby, a second-grader she tutored in the evenings.
Skiles said she also learned a lesson about giving out too much information, and an offhand comment made with some fellow summer missionaries ended up landing her another gig during the month of July.
"We were just visiting one day and I mentioned that I had been on the dance team in high school," Skiles said. When another girl left early, they asked Skiles to help teach dance in the Bronx at an outreach center for children.
"I had taken dance lessons but had never taught," she recalled. "I was supposed to be teaching them hip-hop, but I don't know how to do that, so we just made some lessons up doing other kinds of dance."
Some of the more memorable – and funnier – lessons of the summer came when Skiles got stopped by the police several times, mostly for things she had no idea were so closely regulated.
"We got stopped for playing our guitars on the sidewalks, because their were rules on where you could play, and we got stopped for handing out pamphlets on the streets," she said. "Once I got stopped while walking down the street in the Bronx because they thought I was lost."
Free time, though it was limited, was spent doing the usual sightseeing around New York and taking in as many Broadway shows as she could afford. Her parents even made the trip to see her, taking some family time to visit the Statue of Liberty and other New York landmarks.
Thankfully, the police visits left Skiles with no scars, just a few good stories for home. And thanks to the quick pace of the summer, she was still processing the deeper lessons learned as the school year began.
"Things were so chaotic, we were just always on the move," she said. "A lot of what I learned was just having a servant's heart and doing what was needed."
Skiles said she enjoyed her first summer missions experience, which she knew God had called her to do. Repeating the experience is still an option.
Skiles is a chemistry and biology major at Wayland and hopes to teach science.

Kids of Slain Cold Spring Officer Struggle to Cope
COLD SPRING (AP) — The four children of a slain Cold Spring police officer are struggling to imagine Christmas without their father.
Tom Decker was killed late Thursday while checking on a report of a suicidal man. His funeral is Wednesday.
Mounds of presents surround his children's Christmas tree in Sartell, but 7-year-old Jade Decker told her mother, Becky Decker, the only present she wants is to have her daddy back.
Becky Decker is divorced from Tom Decker but speaks well of him, calling him a good father and widely respected community member. She says their kids are on an emotional roller-coaster, having fun one minute then breaking down the next.
She seconded others' memories about his sense of humor, calling him a goofball who liked to watch "SpongeBob Squarepants" with his kids.

I've been getting this group of women together for wine dinners since 2006 (we call ourselves Lady Lushes mostly because it's so fitting). I love these women; they all truly appreciate good wine and food and want to be educated in a really casual environment. Plus, I think we all hate drinking alone. We try to meet at spots where there are female sommeliers (there's a growing number up here) and usually do 3 or 4 courses with ample amounts of wine. I always have a great time and we've had some unforgettable meals (Silvertone & Oleana are tied as faves).
Last night we made it to La Morra (where I hosted the first dinner way back when) and in honor of my move, owners Josh (chef) & Jen (who handles the wine) gave me a great send off by putting Island Creeks on the menu. Josh admitted he doesn't use them often (don't find too many oysters in Northwest Italy) but he managed to totally elevate a gnocchi dish with fresh oysters, cauliflower, and caviar. It was all layered in a butter and chive sauce which I literally licked off the plate. Fantastic job, Josh.
Tonight, I'm headed to Rialto for a New England Shellfish Dinner. Rowan Jacobsen is speaking and signing books so I'm hoping he can help me with the whole oyster prose dilemma. Stay tuned. Oh, and if you haven't read it yet, check out Jody Adams' blog.

SEMA 2013 Trend: Cancer ConsciousnessPosted in Events on November 12, 2013
Another sign of a stronger aftermarket is increased altruism. Unfortunately, many companies are personally connected to various charities, having employees and/or relatives who suffer.
At SEMA 2013, cancer awareness was higher-profile than in previous years. Momentum from October Breast Cancer Awareness Month carried into November. Many male SEMA attendees were also participating in Movember: not shaving throughout November to support prostate and testicular cancer.
Here are a few relevant promotions at SEMA 2013.
Pink Superwinch Auction
A "breast cancer pink" version of the Superwinch Talon 9.5i will be auctioned off on Ebay. All proceeds will go to Men Against Breast Cancer, a nonprofit organization designed to provide targeted support services that educate and empower men to be effective caregivers when cancer strikes.
Information: www.menagainstbreastcancer.org, www.superwinch.com/c/off-road
Proform Pink Crate Engine
Chevrolet Performance and Proform Parts teamed up on a pink ZZ383 425-HP stroker motor giveaway to benefit Susan G. Komen and the Michigan Cancer Center. Other industry partners include Pep Boys, which is the exclusive retailer for a limited-edition pink Chevy small-block dress-up kit.
Information: PinkEngineGiveaway.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Longhaul Pete Raffle For Cancer
Eldon Jaeger Trucking in Iowa built a custom Peterbilt in memory of cancer victim Brenda Jaeger Heiderscheit. This 2000 Peterbilt 379 is being raffled off to benefit the American Cancer Society. It displays the 29 ribbons that represent each kind of cancer. Raffle tickets are on sale through May 3, 2014.
Addiction Offroad in San Antonio outfitted their F-150 FX4 with breast-cancer pink accessories to raise awareness via this high-profile Ford. Iron Cross Automotive is one of the sponsors.
Information: www.truckliftkitssa.com
Pink JK
Although it wasn't packaged as a cancer-awareness build, this JK by Skyjacker's Latin American distributor inadvertently served the purpose. It promoted an Instagram competition in Spanish, which some gringos misinterpreted as a breast-cancer call to action, based on the Jeep's pink accessories.

My favorite veggie to cook with in spring is...asparagus! Asparagus is one of the first crops of spring. I love asparagus served roasted or lightly steamed and it makes the perfect vegetable side dish for any spring meal!
Asparagus cooks up quickly and it takes on the flavors of any herbs, spices or sauces that you cook it with. Paired with rich tasting vegan "hollandaise" sauce, it mimics a decadent offering that you may see listed on a menu at a four-star restaurant. Or, simply toss your trimmed asparagus with a few herbs and spices, then roast it in the oven for about eight minutes, and you'll have crowd-pleasing fare that is great to serve at any gathering.
So here is one of my favorite asparagus recipes! Happy Spring Cooking!
Asparagus with Vegan Hollandaise Sauce
My grandmother grew asparagus in her back yard and she often served it with a rich hollandaise sauce, that as a child, I loved! So, I came up with this easy-to-prepare vegan version that is delicious and low in fat too.
Makes 4 to 6 Servings
1 large bunch asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ block soft silken or soft regular tofu, well drained
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Place the asparagus in a large steamer and steam for 4 to 6 minutes, or until just crisp tender.
Meanwhile, place the lemon juice, tofu, turmeric and sea salt into a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Pour into a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until heated through.
Arrange the asparagus on a serving platter and pour the sauce over top. Serve immediately.
Another great spring recipe that works beautifully in spring and continuing throughout the summer months is my Creamy Cucumber Soup! This creamy chilled soup features dill, which is often available during the summer months at your local farm market. It is ideal for entertaining, as it can be prepared well in advance. The refreshing taste of the cucumber is carried by the tofu, which adds substance and stands in for the heavy cream so often called for in similar soups. Whenever I serve this, diners inevitably ask, "Are you sure there isn't any cream in this soup?" Find the recipe here.

2519 Series S-beam Static Load Cells
Instron® load cells are a key part of a materials testing system. Instron is the only global materials testing supplier that designs and manufactures its own load cells. This ensures that Instron load cells meet the unique requirements of materials testing such as high accuracy over a wide measurement range, high stiffness and excellent zero stability.
The 2519-xxxN Series load cells are specifically designed for use with 3300 single column testing systems. Automatic transducer recognition and electrical calibration makes them easy to use. The load cells incorporate overload protection and can withstand loads up to 150% of their force capacity without damage and 300% without mechanical failure. The load cells allow the user to zero out the tare weight of a grip or fixture that weighs up to 40% of the force capacity, while still maintaining the full specified accuracy.
All Instron load cells are individually temperature-compensated and tested for accuracy and repeatability on calibration apparatus that is traceable to international standards, with a measurement uncertainty that does not exceed one-third of the permissible error of the load cell.
Application Range
- Force capacities from ±10 N - ±5 kN (1 – 500 kgf, 2.2 – 1,125 lbf)
- Suitable for a range of test types, including, tension, compression,cyclic, and reverse stress
- Accurate measurements down to 1/500th of load cell capacity - means fewer load cells and fewer load cell changes
- Automatic recognition with electronic serial number and electrical calibration means simple, error-free operation
- Integral overload protection reduces the possibility of damage during handling and use
- Tare weight 40% of force capacity – can be used with a wide range of grips and fixtures
- Complies with all international force measurement standards, including ASTM E4, ISO 7500-1 class 0.5,and JIS B7721, B7733

Internet Of Things: What About Data Storage?
Humans are quickly being outnumbered by Internet-connected devices that are constantly collecting and transmitting data. The term used to describe this is the Internet of Things. Regardless of how you feel about it, the explosion in machine-generated data is changing storage and data protection forever.
These machines -- or things -- perform a range of tasks, relatively simple functions like capturing images and uploading them to social sharing sites to capturing and transmitting more complicated sensor data and sending real-time information on an organization's various assets. Thanks to analytics, businesses now want the ability to, say, compare the current condition of their assets compared with five years ago.
Storage implications
The impact on storage at first seems fairly obvious: There is more data to store. The less obvious part is that machine-generated data comes in two distinct types, creating two entirely different challenges. First, there is large-file data, such as images and videos captured from smartphones and other devices. This data type is typically accessed sequentially. The second data type is very small, for example, log-file data captured from sensors. These sensors, while small in size, can create billions of files that must be accessed randomly.
[The Internet of Important Things: Chat with GE Power & Water CIO Jim Fowler. Join in Wed 3/5, 2:00 p.m. ET. Get more info here.]
It used to be that a datacenter would have only one of these data types: They were either in the business of capturing image-based data or they were not. Now, however, datacenters must deal with both data types, and the two usually require different storage systems -- one designed for large-file sequential I/O and the other for small-file random I/O.
Historically, image-based data has typically been placed on large-capacity NAS systems, but we are seeing a shift to object-based storage, especially at scale. Sensor data, usually stored on high-performance NAS systems, is moving to all-flash arrays, primarily to allow faster analytics.
Data protection implications
The data generated from the Internet of Things also has a big impact on data protection. Most, if not all, of this data can never be recreated -- an image and soil sample from last year, for example, will never be the same as it was on the day it was collected. Therefore, data protection is potentially even more critical than it is for more conventional data. The challenges such data brings to storage also impact data protection -- especially when dealing with sensor data, as most backup applications don't handle billions of files well.
The answer may be to not back this data up at all, but instead integrate data protection to the archive process. An ideal approach might involve a tape-integrated NAS solution that has a disk or flash cache in front of a large tape library. As data lands on the disk cache, copies can be made to multiple tape devices. This provides high-performance access for analytics processing, but also excellent protection and long-term retention.
One consistent experience I have observed from IT managers who deal with the Internet of Things is how quickly data transforms from merely interesting to mission-critical and in need of analysis, retention, and protection. The storage systems for these initiatives almost always start out ad hoc and then become a focal point. If you have sensors, or things, that are creating data, keep an eye on that data now. Protect it and be prepared for it to become more important to the organization.
Solid state alone can't solve your volume and performance problem. Think scale-out, virtualization, and cloud. Find out more about the 2014 State of Enterprise Storage Survey results in the new issue of InformationWeek Tech Digest.

Dreaming the Future: Reimagining Civilization in the Age of Nature (Paperback)Kenny Ausubel (author)
- Not available
Few would deny that we are entering a period of great change. Our environment is collapsing. Social disruption abounds. All around, it seems, we are experiencing breakdown. But out of this chaos comes the opportunity for breakthrough-the opportunity to reimagine our future.
In Dreaming the Future, Kenny Ausubel leads us into that possible new world and introduces us to the thinkers and doers who are-sometimes quietly, sometimes not-leading what he calls "a revolution from the heart of nature and the human heart."
In a collection of short, witty, poignant, even humorous essays, Ausubel tracks the big ideas, emerging trends, and game-changing developments of our time. He guides us through our watershed moment, showing how it's possible to emerge from a world where corporations are citizens, the gap between rich and poor is cavernous, and biodiversity and the climate are under assault and create a world where we take our cues from nature and focus on justice, equity, diversity, democracy, and peace.
Even those steeped in the realities of a world gone wrong and efforts to right it will find refreshing, even surprising, perspectives in Dreaming the Future. It will come as no surprise to readers that Ausubel is cofounder of Bioneers-which foreword author David W. Orr describes as "one part global salon...one part catalytic organization."

Publisher's Weekly-
The essays in this collection reflect his thoughts and proposals on a wide variety of topics related to this general goal, ranging from the Gaia theory of Earth as a self-regulating system, to the ecological effects of medical technology, the similarity of modern politics and organized crime, and the difficulty of organizing grassroots resistance against corporate exploitation. Many of these pieces have been published previously over the last decade on websites like The Huffington Post and Alternet.org. They are, however, still highly relevant, and the book is a convenient, readable, and informative corpus of Ausubel's work. His breezy, fast-paced writing style and his in-depth knowledge of environmental and political issues will inspire readers who share his values and his belief in the importance of shaping human behavior for the sake of environmental sustainability. A list of bibliographic sources for each essay provides guidance for readers who wish to do further research, but there are no footnotes for specific factual statements, which may limit the book's ability to persuade skeptical readers.
"Without doubt, Kenny Ausubel has one of the most glorious minds on the planet. Herein he has crafted a dazzling treasury of essays on the destiny of humanity and its place on earth, a rosary of startling truths. His ability to describe the cataclysmic loss of living systems contrasted with the luminous and untold rise of human awakening is unique among living writers and speakers. Read this for its brilliance, but read it also to find joy in the intricate reimagination of what it means to be a human being at this parlous moment in civilization."--Paul Hawken, author of Blessed Unrest; co-author, Natural Capitalism
"Kenny Ausubel is one of the planet's key people, a kind of hub for the new ideas that will, if we're smart, shape our future. He delivers them with the... brio and confidence that will help people overcome their fear and get to work!"--Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth; founder of 350.org
"Dreaming the Future proposes a path forward that is both profoundly radical and full of common sense. An excellent read for everyone who wants to build a better future-and for those looking to supplement the many dry technical tomes about today's environmental problems. Ausubel explores the political, cultural, and personal changes needed to chart a sustainable path forward, leaving readers delighted and hopeful.--Annie Leonard, author and host, The Story of Stuff; co-director, The Story of Stuff Project
"A brilliant new look at what it is to be human on a living planet. Kenny Ausubel has devoted his life to creating organizations that dream a new future. In this marvelous book he shares his vision in eloquent words that inspire us to take action. Read, enjoy, dream--and act!--John Perkins, author, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and Hoodwinked
"This valuable book underscores that many of the solutions so desperately needed today have already been discovered by nature. In these challenging times, Kenny Ausubel has become a leader of leaders, blazing the trail so others can follow. He is a powerful voice for nature's undervalued ecological services-[reminding us] that nature has innate resources and solutions for solving the complexity of problems humans have created. Now is our time, and the world needs more voices like Kenny Ausubel's. Dreaming the Future is much more than a dream: this is a blueprint for survival.--Paul Stamets, author, Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World

CDC Unveils New Campaign to Encourage HIV Testing Among Black Gay Men
August 18, 2011
CDC this week announced a new public awareness and education campaign to encourage HIV testing among black men who have sex with men (MSM). The agency previewed "Testing Makes Us Stronger," which will launch this fall, at its 2011 National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta.
HIV-status awareness must be boosted, conference attendees heard. Of black MSM surveyed in 21 major US cities in 2008, 29 percent tested HIV-positive, but 59 percent had not known they were infected. Between 2006 and 2009, new HIV infections grew by 48 percent among young black/African-American MSM in the 16 states and two cities CDC surveyed.
"People who know that they have HIV can take steps to decrease the risk that they'll transmit the virus to others, such as adopting safer-sex practices and beginning antiretroviral treatment," said Dr. Richard Wolitski of CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention.
- National online and print ads in media targeting black MSM.
- Outreach through social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and blogs targeting black MSM.
- Billboards and transit advertising, with a special focus on five cities with high HIV rates among black MSM: Atlanta, Houston, New York, Baltimore and Oakland, Calif.
- Promotional materials for distribution at community venues and online.
- Outreach and materials at black Pride events across the United States.
- Tailored local materials for health departments and community organizations.
Efforts to combat HIV among black MSM "are not at the scale that they need to be, and from what we've heard today, it's clear that we need to intensify HIV prevention for black [MSM]," Wolitski said. "HIV testing is one critical key component of prevention services that are needed for this population."
Testing Makes Us Stronger is part of CDC's five-year, $45 million "Act Against AIDS" testing and prevention campaign; visit www.ActAgainstAIDS.org.

What it's not: Sealed growth chambers for genetically engineered holiday lights.
What it is: S14L LED cluster lamps, which hide solid-state technology under incandescent dressings. With an Edison screw and a hard polycarbonate globe that's tougher than frosted glass, these lamps from LEDtronics can go anywhere standard light bulbs can and even a few places they can't. And despite their little light source — 18 LEDS sprout from a center stalk — these surprisingly bright lights provide up to 56 lumens. Use them for signage or daylighting, but forget stringing them on the Christmas tree.

I'm interested in hearing perspectives on IO and how the Navy (in particular, IWOs) contribute to that effort across the service.
- Is the IW community continuing the push away from IO? Is anyone aware of recent leadership comments/discussions on the topic?
- If not IW, then who else is positioned to take up the IO baton?
- SHOULD we care about IO when other services (most notably the Army) are so much better at it than us?
- Are there any comments regarding the (re)creation of AQD/specialization codes for IO? Should we push people with experience into those billets at the O-4+ level when integration of IRCs becomes more crucial?
It's easy for us to say we need to get back to our roots and focus on the technical, but I'm observing some things at the Major Command level regarding IO and the level of proficiency we have as a service and community, and frankly, I'm concerned. There are pockets of expertise, but we're falling way behind our sister services. Does that even matter? Can we afford to let the Army do our IO dirty work? I understand this is reviving a heated topic, but I'd like to get other perspectives before I run too far or too fast with this.
**edit following COMEVIL's reply** I am going to remain silent for a little while because I fear my opinions are already skewed based on current observations at the COCOM level. I'd rather hear/see what opinions others have on the topic before weighing in.

No event has had a greater impact on the history of Rwanda than the 1994 civil war. In a 100-day period and under the watchful eye of a UN peacekeeping force, Hutus systematically murdered more than one million Tutsis. The genocide memorial centre in Kigali is a monument to one of the bloodiest genocides in world history.
The Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre was inaugurated on the 10th anniversary of the genocide, in 2004. The centre is located in the suburb of Gisozi, on the spot where 250,000 people found their final resting place in a mass grave ¬- a surreal number. Three permanent exhibitions explain how this happened: how the tension between ethnic groups in the small African country grew, what sparked the genocide and how this tragedy would unfold under the watchful eye of a significant UN peacekeeping force.
The Rwandan population is made up of a large majority of Hutus (90 percent) and a small minority of Tutsis (9 percent). Traditionally, the Tutsis have been in charge: back in the 15th century, Rwanda was ruled by a Tutsi king and the poor Hutus were under oppression. Under Belgian colonial rule, the differences between the 2 population groups increased even further.
After the country's independence in 1962, the Hutu majority rebelled expelling the Tutsi elite. While the Hutus were in power, the situation remained explosive and the United Nations sent peacekeepers to the area. On 6 April 1994, Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana's plane was shot down near the airport, igniting an already tense situation. Tutsis and Hutus were slaughtered with machetes and dumped into mass graves. Due to a flawed mandate, but in particular due to the lack of interest from the UN Member States in the massacre, the peacekeepers did not intervene, with disastrous results.
"As early as the 15th century, Rwanda was ruled by a Tutsi king and Hutus were oppressed"
The exhibition offers insights into the run-up to, the events during and the aftermath of this dark episode in Rwandan history. Those who are interested may wish to visit some other locations. One such place is the Hôtel des Mille Collines, now operated by the luxury Kempinski chain, but at the time serving as a shelter for Tutsi refugees as seen in the 2004 movie 'Hotel Rwanda'. The former presidential palace is now a museum and in the garden you will find the wreckage of the presidential plane. The national memorial to the genocide and a monument/memorial centre are located 30 kilometres outside of Kigali in Nyamata.

helps, think of your career as one long brand campaign that will evolve over time but always has the goal of presenting you in the best possible light.
A brand is, in essence, a promise of a certain level of performance. Great brands have high expectations attached to them, and everything associated with a
great brand reflects those expectations.
What do the things associated with you say about your personal brand? Seemingly small details add up to a big overall impression. Here are 10 ways to
improve your personal brand.
1. Your written professional bio.
Less formal than a résumé, this document describes your professional value proposition (PVP). It tells readers what's in it for them by letting
them know how you benefit them. When they read the PVP, they know why they should hire you because they know your professional assets.
2. Your elevator speech.
This is the spoken version of your bio. Can you sum up and explain your PVP in 30 seconds or less? If not, practice, practice, practice until you can. Give
this real thought, because often it is the first impression you'll make on potential employers.
3. Your self-description.
Can you sum up your PVP in just two to four words? Great brands can, and you should be able to do so, too. Aim to intrigue listeners enough to want to know
more about you. Saying "I'm a forensic accountant" is boring. Saying "I'm a numbers detective" is much better.
4. Your business card.
Even if you are not employed and are in the middle of a career transition, you need a business card.
You can get 500 cards online for little to no cost. Make sure your contact info is on the card and on the back, your brief self-description.
5. Your appearance.
Do you look professional during job interviews? Are you well groomed and dressed appropriately for the organization? It's amazing how many job candidate
sabotage themselves by ignoring these basics.
6. Your behavior.
Do you act professional during job interviews? Do you avoid chewing gum and interrupting the person speaking to you? Take a good look at how you behave.
Your actions should always reinforce your PVP, not take away from it.
7. Your own domain name.
Find out whether your first name, middle initial, and last name can be strung together as the address for a website. Use a domain registrar like GoDaddy or
Active-Domain to find out if it's available. If yes, register it, or some variation of it. Free or low-cost services like Weebly and many others can help you build a professional looking website and host it. Make sure that website address
is also on your business card.
8. Your social media profiles.
You want a business profile on LinkedIn. Then you want to assess your non-business-oriented profiles on other sites. If there is anything that might
embarrass you if a current or potential employer finds it, do your best to clean it up. On Facebook, for example, you may want to unfriend connections that
have posted dubious comments or other material. Whom are you following on Twitter? That says more about you than you may realize.
9. Your photo.
Make your headshot photo consistent across the Internet, including your personal website and your social media profiles. This photo is a professionally
taken headshot of you alone, dressed in business attire and smiling.
10. Your voice.
Consider starting a blog. You can make it part of your personal website. Commit to posting at least once a week and choose intelligent observations or
articles as the basis for your discussion. The point is to establish you as a voice on the Web that people in your industry or field find interesting
enough to read regularly.
With regular attention and persistence, your personal brand will become known for quality and even innovation, making you a desirable job candidate or
valued employee.

Olympic Diver Tom Daley Dating Oscar Winner Dustin Lance Black
British Olympian Tom Daley has come out in a five-minute YouTube video.
He admitted that he is dating a man and that the relationship makes him feel safe and happy. The speculation is that his boyfriend is Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black.
E! reports that Daley, 19, and Black, 39, are dating. Black won an Academy Award for his screenplay for 'Milk,' about slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk. Sean Penn won the Best Actor Oscar for the film.
While there is a 20-year age difference for the couple, if Tom's happy, we're happy!
In the video, he said, "In spring this year, my life changed massively when I met someone and they made me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great. And that someone is a guy. It did take me by surprise a little bit. It was always in the back of my head that something like that could happen, but it wasn't until spring this year that something just clicked. It felt right and I thought, 'OK,' and my whole world changed there and then."
While he is dating a man, Daley promised that he still fancies girls. "But right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier," he said.
He revealed that his family had mixed opinions about his reveal and he chose to break the news about his romance via a YouTube video as opposed to a magazine cover so nothing could be taken out of context. Smart move, Tom!

Pac-12 M5: 03.03.14 EditionPosted by Connor Pelton (@ConnorPelton28) on March 3rd, 2014
- Welcome to March. Jerry Palm's latest NCAA Tournament projections were released yesterday and Arizona has all but solidified that #1 seed in the West region after taking care of California and Stanford. UCLA follows as a #7 seed, while Arizona State and Stanford are also safely in the field on the eight and nine lines, respectively. We then hit the bubble, where we find Oregon making its way back into the field as a #10 seed after picking up a pair of big wins in Los Angeles. Colorado and California follow as #11 seeds, with the Golden Bears being sent to Dayton to play in the "First Four", a punishment for dropping three of its last four, with the losses coming by an average of 22 points. According to ESPN's Joe Lunardi, Utah is also on the bubble, sitting as the 11th team out of the field at the moment.
- Arizona locked up an unshared regular season conference title yesterday (and the all-important NIT automatic bid, if they choose to use it) with a 79-66 win against Stanford at the McKale Center. The Wildcats led by as many as 22 with six minutes remaining and ended up cruising to the championship. Josh Huestis actually led all scorers with 22 points, while freshman forward Aaron Gordon scored 19 to pace the Wildcats.
- Head coach Sean Miller decided to give guard Jordin Mayes the start on Senior Night in Tucson, and while Mayes was held scoreless, he did play a season high 15 minutes. Mayes has been with the Wildcats for four seasons, a dwindling feat nowadays in this sport. After starting as a sophomore he has seen his minutes decline and almost completely disappear. Mayes has suffered through multiple stress fracture injuries but has stuck it out, staying committed to his team and coach. Kevin Zimmerman shares a cool story about a young Mayes in this piece and the impact that he has had while at Arizona. Here's hoping his perseverance is rewarded with a trip to Arlington for the Final Four later this month.
- If you're looking for some hardcore statistical analysis, this post is for you. Our friend Adam Butler over at Pachoops breaks down the facilitating ability of Wildcat junior T.J. McConnell, the program's first, true pass-first point guard in five years. So far this season he has accounted for the second highest percentage of rim scores in the conference behind Delon Wright, a huge boost for a team who's one fault can be going significant periods of time without scoring.
- UCLA is ratcheting up its defense just in time for the stretch run of the season, and head coach Steve Alford is encouraged by the recent play. The Bruins forced Oregon to shoot at a 38.1 % clip from the field on Thursday, a performance that Alford declared "arguably one of the best of the year." The Ducks went most of the night without gaining any easy buckets, and the Bruins held them to just two points in the first overtime period. Oregon is one of the best transition teams in the nation and UCLA only allowed four fastbreak points, perhaps the stat that makes Alford most proud. Continued pressure on the defensive end of the floor will be crucial if it looks to avoid the dreaded eight or nine seeds in the NCAA Tournament.

If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
The 'Middle Earth Roleplaying Project' aims to recreate J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth in the Creation engine of 'Skyrim'. The player will be plunged into Middle Earth near the end of the Third Age, not long before the War of the Ring breaks out.
The rocks in the background are from the Emyn Muil.
This is *exactly* how I imagined it.
Great work guys!
Wow, the Emyn Muil looks pretty jagged indeed. Will we find stagnant pools and such when traveling more to the center of the Marshes? For running water is perfectly understandable at the edge of the Marshes, but I can remember that the water in an earlier screenshot was quite disturbed too (this one: Moddb.com), while that shot was taken in a more central area than this screen it seems.
Just read through the comments there and Unbekannter told that specific water types will be created for the Marshes. So never mind :)
Yeah, the water on that screenshot has been already overworked. What you can see on the screenshots here is actually the new water, however, it's with a running water mesh so it looks a bit otherwise.
In the central dead marshes, the water will be nearly not moving.
Speaking about water, will you be using the WATER mod for rivers, lakes?
This.Is.Amazing. It's exactly how I pictured it. Keep up the amazingly fantastic work guys.
Good effects and textures too!
I can't wait to see this in "person" XD
wow i cant believe that im seeing this:D really its amazing work, so will there be "lights" that we will have to avoid? and i cant wait to walk through this since the fog will make it hard to find my way which is exactly as i want the dead marshes to look
There will be lights, but they are only in the central part of the marshes, so you cannot see them on this screenshots which are from the northern border.
Finally, you'd not really need to avoid the lights, if you tap into a pool, the dead faces will pull you down.
holy crap, awesome
Can't wait to run this on my new monster laptop
keep up the good work guys
*waits impatiently for new pictures with rohan/orc armor* :(
Ugh, it's been over a month since the last update! The wait is killing me!
I think this project has been stopped, a game company sent them a cease and desist letter if I remember rightly.
I an completely aware of that. Look at the date I posted that. They received the Cease and Desist on the 29th I believe.
Great atmosphere. Not so sure about the super-spiky peak in the background, though, it looks a bit unrealistic.
Its a pity Warner Brothers can`t make anything this good ;)
A fitting picture for the situation...
When this will be avalible for download?
Are you seriously that oblivious to what is going on? It's the front page of the mod!
oh sorry lad, i read it after make the comment, foolish of mine.
Incredible =]
Are you guys still working on it?

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1999 Ford Mustang - Ronnie Diaz the Modfather
We always look forward to the upcoming race season. Another guy who can't wait to start the season is Ronnie Diaz, aka The Modfather.
We always look forward to the upcoming race season. Another guy who can't wait to start the season is Ronnie Diaz, aka The Modfather.
Mod Motor Mustangs, one of Ronnie's sponsors, sent us the latest information on Ronnie's car, which is primarily based on X275-type rules. Starting with a '99 Mustang, the car features a new 25.3 chassis by Chris Acors at Acors Performance out of Doswell, Virginia. The car's exterior plays host to a Schoneck Composites Cobra front end and Outlaw hood, Harry Glass doors, an Optic Armor glass kit, Bullitt side shirts, a RaceCraft 17-inch aluminum wing, and to help bring it all to a stop, twin Simpson Racing 'chutes.
To put the concrete boots on the competition, Ronnie's New Edge features 358 cubic inches of hurt feelings, starting with a Ford GT Supercar block as a foundation. From there, engine builder Dave Guy added GT500 heads, a valvetrain full of Jesel's finest, custom ground cams, a MMR billet crank, Oliver billet-steel Rods, CP Pistons, Moran billet atomizer 235cc injectors, a Sullivan intake, a Wilson elbow, an Accufab throttle body, and a Moroso dry-sump oiling system. We can't wait to hear the mechanical concert from a pair of Acors Performance custom stepped headers, matched with Flowmaster Race mufflers. With that, we're sure to need earplugs when Ronnie comes to the line.
Adding to the noise is Ronnie's boost maker of choice, ProCharger's rock star F-1X supercharger. Making boost is the F-1X's first priority—quiet operation is not its strong suit. To enable the F-1X to pack the punch needed to compete at a high level, Ronnie uses a Supercharger Store gear drive unit.
The engine combination is just one part of the equation to a race-winning formula. A racecar's transmission is just as important, if not more important than the engine. To that end, Ronnie chose an ATF-prepped Powerglide with a Neal Chance bolt-together converter.
Of course, all this stuff wouldn't do a thing without the right engine management system. Ronnie chose a Big Stuff 3 system, tuned by Triangle Speed Shop's Daniel Pachar. A Spaghetti Menders wiring system connects all points back to a RacePack IQ3 Dash and Sportsman Datalogger.
With all this power, keeping the car straight is of utmost importance. A RaceCraft front suspension does the job, featuring Santhuff double-adjustable struts to mind the compression and rebound. Out back, Acors Performance implemented Afco double-adjustable shocks to connect the chassis to a Fab9 housing, filled with a Moser Engineering spool, 40-spline axles, and a Richmond Pro gear set. To help the aforementioned 'chutes bring all the madness to a halt, Strange Engineering brakes hide within Billet Specialties wheels at each corner.
For 2014, Ronnie plans to run X275 races, along with a return to quarter-mile drag racing within the NMRA's Street Outlaw class, where he hopes to show everyone a mod motor Mustang can hang with the big boys.

Although Yves Béhar is a creator of meticulously crafted objects, his hair is pure chaos. In a way, this tonsorial disaster is an apt metaphor for the tangled web of ideas that have exploded from the head of the lanky Swiss-born designer—resulting in some of technology's most striking and memorable designs over the last two decades, including the One Laptop per Child computer, the Jawbone wireless headset, the Up fitness band, and the Ouya game player. It's all the more impressive when one considers that, until very recently, design has taken a backseat in Silicon Valley, where the result has been either not much to speak of or products that mimic (usually badly) Apple's signature absolutist ethos of stark simplicity.
Béhar has gone in a decidedly different direction from that, making sexier, curvier, more luscious and tactile objects. In doing so, he has defined a design style that subliminally suggests the natural landscape of his adoptive California—both its gently rolling hills and its dangerously sharp coastlines.
Béhar's new headquarters, in San Francisco's Potrero Hill area, a sweeping and airy conversion of a giant warehouse whose lobby also serves as an art gallery, undoubtedly have more in common with the offices of his neighbors Airbnb and Zynga than with traditional design companies. The place is buzzing with designers, and various projects are arrayed in cubes on the walls at the outer edges, complete with shops to fabricate those ideas. "Technology is essentially hard to understand, unattractive, insensitive to human needs in its raw state—right?" Béhar says. "And it's all about how you take technology and turn it into something magical, attractive, with a sense of humanity attached to it."
Béhar's worldview is in line with a concept that Silicon Valley has modishly dubbed the Internet of Things. His latest effort, called August, is a perfect example: a next-generation home-entry system in the form of a perfectly round device that replaces the dead-bolt part of a lock. With no special installation required, it opens on command from a cell-phone app and arguably has the potential to change the way people have treated home security since the invention of the lock and key in ancient Mesopotamia.
This is precisely what Béhar prioritizes above all else in his work. "Good design accelerates the adoption of new ideas," he says. Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of M.I.T.'s Media Lab and Béhar's partner in One Laptop per Child, puts it another way: "Great ideas lurk in our peripheral vision, not reached through incremental thinking, but audacious jumps. Yves takes those."
Béhar, who grew up in Switzerland, has always had an impulse to tinker and challenge the status quo. "I'm a bit of a contrarian," he says. "And it's hard to be a contrarian in a country that doesn't change." After first moving to California to attend art school in Los Angeles, he moved to San Francisco in 1993. He found work with several design firms in the Bay Area, which were attracting an increasing portion of their clientele from the many tech companies headquartered there. The only problem was, although they were seeking design help, few of them were interested in what Béhar had to offer.
"You were forcing design down people's throats," he remembers. "The first thing people would do is look at you straight in the eye and say, 'What's the [return on investment] on design?' And, you know, there was no R.O.I. on design. It made me realize in some ways that we were just being asked to do the outsides," he says. "We were just essentially decorators of products at that point."
Rather than try to work within a system he considered wrongheaded, Béhar sought to re-invent it. In 1999 he struck out on his own, founding Fuseproject, a design-and-branding firm in the hip South Park section of San Francisco. He wanted to position himself more as a co-founder, involved in funding and coming up with ideas, not just acting as a hired gun for design. It was simply a matter of finding the right project to justify making that next leap.
In 2002 he met Hosain Rahman, the hyperkinetic co-founder of Jawbone, who was seeking to upend the mobile-headset market and needed a creative partner. Until then, most cell-phone earpieces were clunky attachments that made the wearer look like a badly outfitted cyborg.
Béhar was drawn to the challenge of designing something that was both technically complex and sensually beautiful. "This is where this design is so hard, because you have rigid electronic components that need to stay connected together and function together," he says.
Béhar became chief creative officer at the start-up. He envisioned the Jawbone device as a "facial accessory," effectively turning an appliance into a luxury good (and its cost from impediment to asset). And, just like that, design morphed into ideology.
Rahman and Béhar employed a slick and sexy branding campaign and you-may-possibly-not-be-worthy packaging that portrayed the mobile headset as an item of chic jewelry, to be worn only by those with a sense of style.
The Jawbone earpiece—which managed to combine comfort, state-of-the-art technology, and sexiness—was a runaway success and definitively put Béhar on the map of tech design. In the years since, he has continued to push boundaries and defy predictability in any number of ways—with everything from a sleek and ubiquitous office chair for Herman Miller to a bullet-shaped Sodastream carbonator.
Throughout, his principal goal has remained the same. He still thinks much of what is designed in the tech world, including Google Glass, is simply too inhuman: "They're not thought from that human-centered standpoint, which is: How do I want this to fit in my life? And is it obtrusive to me, or is it obtrusive to other people that are across from me? Is it the right fashion statement for me? Does it create the right conversation between me and my environment or the people around me?" The questions Béhar asks himself go on and on, and he never stops asking them.

Four Ways to Use Video for the Holidays
It's that time of year where we look up from our keyboards to find the holiday season freight train barreling down on us at an alarming speed. For obvious reasons, this time of year is especially critical and demanding for online retailers.
Even during a challenging 2010 holiday season, comScore reported that consumers spent $1.03 billion online on Cyber Monday, the highest spending day of 2010. Research shows that holiday spending is on track to level with or surpass last year's numbers, and that ecommerce sites will play a more significant role than ever in holiday revenue.
Forward-thinking retailers have video deployed on their sites and will use it as a merchandising tool during the holidays. That's in response to consumer demand; among Invodo's client base, Cyber Monday video views in 2010 showed a 350-percent increase over the October-November baseline.
There's still time to make the most of the video assets you have, even if yours is among the numerous companies that implement a "code freeze" for developers during the holiday season. There's plenty that you can do with video, so look for these opportunities to spice up your holiday sales:
1. Put Video on Category Pages
Do you have time to make one more change before your developers go into a brief hibernation? If you do, here's a high-impact item: add video to category pages as well as product pages. Customers appreciate being able to compare products by launching videos directly from a category page.
If it is too late and a code freeze is already in place, follow one or more of the suggestions below.
2. Email Campaigns
Even during a code freeze, marketers can typically deploy and tweak landing pages for email campaigns. Brands such as Whirlpool have delivered stunning customer experiences simply by adding video to email landing pages and using an animated GIF as the call-to-action in the email. Retailers such as Golfsmith have seen a 2 to 3 times increase in click-through rate (CTR) by including video in email campaigns.
3. YouTube it
A code freeze doesn't cool down your YouTube channel. Add a seasonal theme and optimize the YouTube descriptions for extra holiday traffic. Drive holiday YouTube visitors to your site in three ways:
a) Include a link to your site in the YouTube video description.
b) If your videos aren't edited to include an overlay asking visitors to visit your site, consider it. By using a vanity URL, you'll know how many additional visitors you're delivering. You may be surprised by how many video viewers will respond.
c) A YouTube annotation on a "promoted video" (YouTube's version of PPC) can link directly back to your site. Your rivals are driving the cost of desirable search terms up on Google. But YouTube, as the second largest search engine (ahead of Yahoo! and Bing), may be a cost-effective option.
4. Socialize it
Once you have your YouTube videos optimized to drive traffic, make sure you're promoting them via your Facebook page and Twitter feed. By pushing your videos out through social channels, you make it easier for your brand advocates to spread the word.
The most creative merchandisers see the biggest gains during the holiday season. We may be past code freeze, but there's still plenty of video merchandising opportunity with email campaigns, YouTube and social networks.

For Immediate Release
18 March 1996
Kakuna Kerina
(212) 465-1004 x103
CPJ Launches 1996 Campaign,
"Nigeria: The Press Under Siege"
U.S. Press Freedom Group Condemns Attacks
on Nigerian Independent Press
New York--The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) today launches its 1996 Nigeria campaign, Nigeria: The Press Under Siege. The campaign will mobilize CPJ members and international press freedom organizations, while working with Lagos-based journalists, to urge Gen. Sani Abachas military regime to cease its relentless assault on the countrys independent press.
Nigerias press continues to be targeted by the government, and attacks on journalists and editorial offices have escalated in recent months, said Kakuna Kerina, CPJs program coordinator for Africa. We are gravely concerned about our imprisoned colleagues lives, she added, and we condemn the governments refusal to allow them the internationally mandated human right to medical care, legal representation and family visitation.
Gen. Abacha is using every weapon in his arsenal to intimidate journalists, including detention without charge; enforcement of military decrees before the secret Special Military Tribunal; assault, interrogation and torture at the hands of police and State Security Service (SSS) agents; editorial office bombings; and the banning and seizure of publications.
The July 1995 conviction of The Sunday Magazine (TSM) editor in chief Christine Anyanwu, Weekend Classique editor Ben Charles Obi, Tell magazine assistant editor George Mbah and TheNEWS editor in chief Kunle Ajibade for coverage of, and alleged complicity in, a suspected coup plot, illuminated the lengths to which the current regime will go to restrict the press. The journalists continue to be held in deplorable conditions in a prison system where, during the past five years, 9,905 prisoners have died from communicable diseases alone.
1995 came to a close with a rash of bombings, seizures and the detention without charge, on December 23, of Nosa Igiebor, editor in chief of Tell magazine and a 1993 recipient of CPJs International Press Freedom Award. In early 1996, General Abachas unprecedented reign of terror against press freedom was expanded to include nonjournalists: Prominent human rights attorneys Gani Fawehinmi and Femi Falana, who represent many members of the countrys independent press, were detained without charge and are still being held in undisclosed locations.
As reported in CPJs annual report, Attacks on the Press in 1995, Nigerias 136-year-old press still manages to produce 21 daily and 22 weekly newspapers, and 19 weekly newsmagazines, the majority of which are privately owned. Their struggle to publish and remain financially viable under the current siege is a testament to the professionalism and sheer ingenuity of journalists who manage to work while in hiding, publish with police stationed at printing presses and disseminate information to fellow citizens as police seize entire runs from the newsstands.
CPJ applauds the World Press Reviews recent choice of Dapo Olorunyomi, editor in chief of TheNEWS, a Lagos-based news magazine as co-winner of the magazines 1995 International Editor of the Year Award. The award is given annually to editors working outside the United States, honoring enterprise, courage, and leadership in advancing the freedom and responsibility of the press, enhancing human rights, and fostering excellence in journalism. Olorunyomi shares the award with Fred Mmembe, managing director and editor in chief of The Post, a Zambian daily newspaper.
We encourage all those interested in participating to sign the attached letter to General Abacha, then mail or fax it to CPJ. CPJ will then forward the protest letters to the State House in Abuja, Nigeria.
His Excellency Gen. Sani Abacha
Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
State House
Abuja, NIGERIA
Your Excellency:
I support the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a nonpartisan press freedom advocacy group, in its campaign to obtain the release from prison of Nosa Igiebor, editor in chief of the Lagos-based Tell magazine and a recipient of CPJs 1993 International Press Freedom Awards. Igiebor was arrested on Dec. 23, 1995, by agents of the State Security Service. He continues to be held in solitary confinement without charge and has been denied legal counsel and family visitation rights.
Igiebors imprisonment is a clear violation of Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states, Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers. Nigeria is a signatory to this declaration.
Also in violation of Article 19 is the imprisonment of journalists Kunle Ajibade (TheNEWS), Christine Anyanwu (The Sunday Magazine), George Mbah (Tell) and Ben Charles Obi (Weekend Classique). They continue to be held in deplorable and life-threatening conditions, and have been denied the internationally recognized human right to medical care, legal representation and family visitation.
I respectfully call on Your Excellency to order the immediate and unconditional release of Mr. Igiebor and his colleagues and to allow them to resume their journalistic work. Until the time of their release, I also request that you grant them their rights to medical care, legal representation and family visitation.
Lastly, I respectfully call on you to intervene on the side of press freedom and to uphold your public proclamations of support for an independent press by establishing an environment in which journalists may work freely and safely.
I welcome your comments and reply.

An Unusual Find in the Venture Captial World!
Fund: vSpring Capital
Posted by deppstein on 2008-02-12
I have the highest regard for Dinesh Patel, Managing Director, and of vSpring Capital for life science investments. I have been CEO of two biotech companies in which vSpring invested, encompassing both lead and non-lead positions. In both cases, Dinesh provided good insights, excellent support and help but did not impose when not needed. He has the very wonderful quality that I have only seen in a few venture capitalists of being a savy business person who cares about and knows how to make a good return but does not let this get in the way of his genuine caring for and humane treatment of people. Others I have interacted with, both on the venture capital and business side as well as elsewhere in the community have the highest regard for Dinesh, and genuinely enjoy working with him.
vSpring was also very fair in deal terms and valuation, being realistic but not greedy, and had great turn-around time on the deal. We need more firms with these qualities!PRIVATE: Members Only

As he set up his new digs at Redskins Park early this offseason, defensive coordinator Joe Barry had three signs made for his unit's meeting room. On each sign he had printed a word that he wanted to serve as the three building blocks of the defense.
Compete. Physical. Finish.
Over the course of the past eight months, Barry has done his best to ingrain those three ideals into the minds of his charges.
The Redskins invested heavily in the defense this offseason. They signed two new starting defensive linemen, nose tackle Terrance Knighton and end Stephen Paea, and a veteran rotational lineman, Ricky Jean Francois. Officials signed a new No. 1 cornerback, Chris Culliver,...

A state of intensive confusion; also a way of informing someone that they're an idiot or that they have no idea what's going on.
