Blood Red Poppies - Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

During the battle of the Somme, France,1916, the British sustained 60,000 casualties on the first day. Torrential rains turned the battlefield into a quagmire. In one month the Allies advanced five miles at the cost of 450,000 German.200,000 French and 420,000 British lives. I lost two uncles

Blood red poppies sway
Over silent fields
Where birds no longer sing.

Once big guns roared
And young men
Suffered terror in the mud.

Chaplains searched the carnage for God
Finding him gassed and bloody
Crucified upon the wire
One poppy lost among the thousands.

    Colin, WW1, was an awful war, my father was injured at the battle of the Somme, he never really spoke about it, in fact nobody spoke about what happened in that war. I remember the film 'Oh What a Lovely War', every time a soldier fell, the screen went red and a poppy grew. Thank you for the poem, I guess like you did, that God died to that day, looking for some humanity. I like your writing. (Report) Reply

    The poppy is my favorite flower and what it symbolizes as far as war is concerened-like Flanders Field or other places will always remind us of those brave soldiers who have lost their lives.Sometimes I'm happy when I see one because it means warmer weather.Lovely poem and very sad.a ten from me.

    This poem is powerful. The central image of poppies as a metaphor for wounds, and a wounded god, is very effective. Concise voice and economy of language is always good, and you have kept focused throughout. (Report) Reply

    and it truly makes you wonder: Are we civilized?

Little King of Sorrows

Limmerick Practice - Poem by Little King of Sorrows

There once was a man from snow river,
He chose to live life as a giver,
Though forgotten by many,
He'd spend his last penny,
As the shirt off his back he'd deliver.

The very same guy it is written,
By love bug was so often bitten,
At face value he'd trust,
Never blinded by lust,
Big hearts would leave him so smitten.

A rare breed of soul he did carry,
Lies from another he found so scary,
Abundance of love,
He learned from above,
But never a soul-mate to marry.

Weekly he wrote down a letter,
As a person he strove to be better,
Through the highs and the lows,
His character grows,
Never hiding inside from the weather.

Inside his own self he found beauty,
Service to others he made his duty,
To many he'd scatter,
The little things that matter,
He'd spread the warm fuzzy cootie.

What is a POI?

A POI (Point of Interest) is a dataset containing GPS coordinates that represents interesting and important locations in navigation applications. The most popular POI categories are for example speedcams, accommodation locations, restaurants, petrol stations, parking lots, wifi hotspots, attractions, etc. POIplaza portal – similar to navigation applications – is able to plan routes to POIs, or to warn of their presence when passing by.

POI contains the name and address of the Point of Interest, phone number in international format (that can be dialed from an appropriate navigation device), and of course geographic coordinates: latitude and longitude. Ultimate applications may handle other data, like detailed description, working hours, other contacts, and even photos (rich POI).

Downloading POI data to your GPS navigation system or PDA couldn't be simpler. You simply choose a country and list of services then download the .zip file that corresponds to the navigation software you use to your computer. Once you have connected your device, unpack the data into the relevant POI folder on your device following easy, step-by-step guide, and you are ready to go.

History of this web site

This site was originally developed in 1998 as a joke for my wife. She still thinks it's crazy to collect a bunch of cameras that all look alike (to her anyway!). I started the collection back in 1985 while we were in Seattle going to University. At that time, we were newly married and frequented thrift stores, which often had a Polaroid or two for sale. I finally broke down and bought one for a dollar: the model 210 (which happens to be the most common of these cameras, with the fewest features!) and really got a kick out of how it worked. That summer I found a few more different models, and was facinated by the fact that Polaroid made so many different models of cameras, each so much alike.

As you can see by the above chart, Polaroid was very good at marketing--taking a camera, adding a leather strap or whatever, calling it a new model number, and selling it to their projected market.

The site was originally compiled with Microsoft Publisher because I didn't know a thing about HTML. Unfortunately, Publisher isn't very flexible when it comes to developing web pages, and it produces some of the most complicated HTML code I've ever seen. So in the summer of 2000, I decided I had better learn HTML, so redid this site with a good book on HTML and Notepad. You'll notice that most major aspects of HTML have been incorporated into this web site, in one place or the other. If you take into consideration that this web site was an HTML tutorial for me, it may make more sense!

So far this collection is limited, but I'm finding that I'm sometimes the recipient of a lonely Polaroid which would have otherwise gotten thrown out, so my collection is expanding to roll film cameras and SX-70s. Only cameras with bellows though! Hard bodied cameras take up so much more space. I'm starting to include roll film cameras and SX-70 cameras which have a bellows in their design in this site, though I'm not as familiar with these cameras. This site will continue to have as its focus pack film cameras, but I'll include information about roll film and SX-70 cameras as I learn more. Unfortunately, this collection will probably never be complete, since two of the cameras I lack are the 180 and 195, which are valued at over $200 each, and my wife would flip if I spent that much on a Polaroid!

Can't afford an internship? Try asking for donations

Washington (CNN) - Internships can be crucial career-builders. But what if you can't afford to work for free all summer?

    Welcome to the New America! Where you can no longer work to thrive, but work only to survive. The price of everything is going up with no relief in sight. Anything you do manage to make is only going to redistributed anyways.
    When 5 years of unemployment over 7% is considered a huge success, means our president has epically failed.

Jamboree’s History

There is the 95 years of tradition of organizing World Scout Jamboree. Polish scouts were represented on this biggest scout event from the first Jamboree in England in 1920 till 1937. Then, after the end of communism in Poland, ZHP regain the membership in World Organization of Scout Movement and representation of Polish scouts attended every World Scout Jamboree from 1991 till 2015. Now we are ready to make a proposal of hosting the 25th World Scout Jamboree 2023 in Poland for the consideration of the World Scout Conference.

The 1st World Scout Jamboree was held at Olympia Hall in London. 8,000 Scouts from 34 nations attended the event, which was hosted in a glass-roofed building covering an area of 6 acres. It was at this event that Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, was acclaimed the Chief Scout of the World. Poland was represented by a boy scout Tadek Jabłoński, son of the Polish ambassador in London.
2nd World Scout Jamboree, Ermelunden (Denmark), 1924
4,549 Scouts participated in the 2nd World Scout Jamboree. The Polish Contingent with 160 participants sailed across the Baltic Sea on the board of the "Watra" ship. King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine took part in the closing ceremony of the Jamboree.
3rd World Scout Jamboree, Birkenhead (England), 1929
The Third Jamboree was attended by 50,000 Scouts from 69 countries. The Polish representation consisted of approximately 500 participants.
4th World Scout Jamboree, Gödöllö (Hungary), 1933
Jamboree was hosted by Hungary and held from 2 to 13 August 1933. It was attended by 25,792 Scouts, representing 46 different nations and additional territories. Scouts encamped around the Royal Palace in the Royal Forest of Gödöllő, about 11 miles from the capital of Budapest. The Polish Contingent was the second biggest and consisted of 1300 scouts.
5th World Scout Jamboree, Vogelensang (Netherlands), 1937
The Poles came to the Jamboree by train, by bicycles, by canoes and sailed on the yacht “Zawisza Czarny”. The Head of the Polish Contingent was Tadeusz Borowiecki. Polish representation counted more than 700 people.
6th World Scout Jamboree, Moisson (France), 1947
This was the first jamboree after Baden-Powell's death in 1941 and also the first after the World War II. It was originally planned to take place in 1941, but because of the II war it was postponed. This jamboree was called "The Jamboree of Peace". The Jamboree showed that even through the years of the war the Scout Movement was still strong and growing.
7th World Scout Jamboree, Salzkammergut (Austria), 1951
Jamboree was held August 3 to 12, 1951 and was hosted by Austria at Bad Ischl. The attendance was 12,884 from 61 different parts of the world
8th World Scout Jamboree, Niagara on the Lake (Canada), 1955
During the Jamboree World Membership Badge was introduced. This was the first World Jamboree to be held in the Western Hemisphere, and the first outside of Europe.
9th World Scout Jamboree, Sutton Park (England), 1957
This Jamboree was also known as the Jubilee Jamboree because of the 50th anniversary of the Scout Movement and 100th anniversary of the birth of Baden Powell.
10th World Scout Jamboree, Mt. Makiling (Philippines), 1959
The 10th World Scout Jamboree was held 17-26 July 1959 and was hosted by the Philippines at Mount Makiling, Los Baños, Laguna. Dubbed "The Bamboo Jamboree" due to the prevalence of bamboo and nipa palm. There were a total 12,203 Scouts from 44 countries. The theme was "Building Tomorrow Today".
11th World Scout Jamboree, Marathon (Greece), 1963

A bench of Justice R M Lodha and Justice Shiva Kirti Singh said that 157 new chemical entities which were cleared for clinical trials in December 31, 2012, would be reviewed by the two apex committees.

"It is not possible to pass any order in respect of the clinical trials of 157 new chemical entities. We are not passing any order. You will tell us the findings of the apex committee and the technical committee," the bench told Additional Solicitor General Siddarth Luthra who had appeared for the government.

Reviewing the clearance for clinical trials of 157 new chemical entities by the National Drugs Advisory Committee and the Drug Controller General of India, the court said the technical and apex committees would look into the assessment of risk versus benefits to the patients, innovation through existing therapeutic options and the unmet medical needs of the country.

The court said that the apex committee will examine whether the new chemical entities that are being put to clinical trials are actually required in the country.

In respect of five other new chemical entities for which approval has been granted for the clinical trials in 2013, the court accepted the statement of Luthra which said that appropriate directions will be issued with regard to audio visual recording of the consent of the subject participating in such trials.

The court directed that such documents in the wake of the video recording shall be preserved and the principle of confidentiality and transparency would be observed.

In the course of the arguments, senior counsel Colin Gonsales informed the court of the Aug 30 report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee which had made damning findings about the working of the office of the Drug Controller General.

He said that the Standing Committee has said that it were the invisible hands that were writing the report and were being approved by the office of the DCGI.

At this, Justice Lodha said, "We should have a balanced approach. These are the issues where you can't have one sides approach. We should allay their (of the petitioner) apprehensions reasonably. The clinical trials should help us."

Gonsalves said that the ministry of health and family welfare was using a committee headed by Ranjir Roy Chaudhury to derail the regime set up by the Standing Committee. He sought the disclosure of the 162 new chemical entities.

Assailing the position of Chaudhury, Gonsalves said that he wanted to make India a hub of clinical trials even in the phase I and Phase II in which healthy people are subjected to the testing of the new chemical entities.

The next hearing of the matter will take place December 16.

Senior Rural Development Ministry officials, who discussed the issue of delay in payment of MNREGA with state government officials during an internal review meeting last month, said it was decided that "the delay in payment of wages need to be curbed".
"Considering that the fund release during the current year is more than last financial year, the reasons for the mounting delay need a proper investigation," according to a Ministry note prepared after the meeting.
The central government has come under attack from opposition and civil society organizations over the issue of delayed payment to the MNREGA workers who are entitled to a 100 days of work every year.

They have alleged that the government was trying to dilute the scheme enacted during the UPA rule.
Responding to the allegations, officials said the Ministry is of the view that "the processes leading to payment need to be refined and inefficiencies identified and eliminated".
According to the MNREGA Act, payments have to be made to workers within 15 days of completion of work.
Meanwhile, the Ministry has expressed concerned about "constant negative reportage in the media" despite several success stories of the programme.
The Centre has also directed the state governments to "work on projecting the success so as to correct the wrong perception about the programme".
"All states need to work on improving the transparency accountability framework which includes strengthening the social audit mechanism as laid down and streamline further the systems to redress public grievances," says the note sent to the state governments.

London: Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr has been named the Earth Hour global ambassador for the second year running.

The 28-year-old Australian supermodel is famed for her views on environmental issues and has her own range of organic beauty products.

She has joined the 2012 campaign, which encourages the public to switch off their lights for 60 minutes on March 31 to help save energy and highlight sustainability, reported a website.

Kerr, who has a 14-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom, also pledged to teach yoga to 500 fans if they get involved with the campaign.

"I hope my first challenge inspires my friends, family and fans to make their own promise for the environment. This year I've made the commitment to reduce my footprint by offsetting all of my travel.

"If we all adopt simple practices like recycling, switching to energy efficient lighting or paperless banking then we can make a difference together," Kerr said.

The yoga class will take place in Sydney, Australia.

Kawasaki Eyes Sales Expansion in Europe
Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. plans to boost its motorcycle sales in Europe to 87,000 units through March 2006 by expanding its product lineup and strengthening its sales network, the Nikkei Business Daily reported, without citing sources. If achieved, the sales boost would signify a 10% increase over sales for the same period of the previous year.
The company already released six new models in Europe and intends to promote these new offerings with particular focus on the Ninja ZX-6R sportbike and the VN 1600 cruiser, the business daily reported.
Kawasaki Heavy plans to open this fall its first direct-run store in Spain, the fourth-largest motorcycle market in Europe, the paper said.

Workers Comp Bill Moves Forward
Legislation sponsored by the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA) that will lead to lower workers' compensation insurance rates for California motorcycle dealers was passed unanimously by the Labor and Industrial Relations Committee of the California State Senate.
This legislation, introduced by State Sen. Dennis Hollingsworth, requires the Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Board (WCIRB) to study the workers' compensation classification codes to consider changing them to align with the codes used by automobile dealers who realize much lower insurance premiums.
If the WCIRB was petitioned to do a study without this legislation, it could take three years or more to complete. With the legislation, the WCIRB is required to finish the study by June of next year.
“Motorcycle dealers in California have a combined payroll of around $270 million while the auto dealers have a $5 billion payroll,” said Bruce Haga, a consultant to ORBA. “By joining the larger auto dealers' pool, motorcycle dealers will avoid the up and down premiums associated with the smaller insurance pool and will realize the significantly lower premiums that car dealers enjoy.
“Both Nevada and Arizona include motorcycle dealers in their automobile structure and this results in a 50% lower cost than what California dealers pay.”

BMW Names New Head of Technology Office
Dr. Bernardo Lopez has been tapped to head the BMW Group Technology Office in Palo Alto, Calif. The move was effective July 1, 2005.
The BMW Group Technology Office was founded in 1998 to identify and investigate technologies in non-automotive fields that BMW Group can make available to its customers.
Prior to this position, Lopez was head of information technology for the development of electronics in the research and development division at BMW Group in Munich.

Long-time powersports marketing executive Joe Hice has been named the University of Florida's new associate vice president of marketing and public relations.
Hice is responsible for public relations and employee communications at the university in Gainesville, said Jane A. Adams, vice president of university relations. He also will direct the university's news bureau.
Prior to joining UF, Hice was chief marketing officer of Segway LLC, Bedford, N.H. He also served as director of corporate communications for Harley-Davidson Motor Company in Milwaukee; as director of marketing communications for Bombardier Inc.'s Marine Products Division; and as director of marketing for Wellcraft Marine and Donzi Marine in Sarasota, Fla.

Progressive study identifies Bikes Most Likely to Be Stolen
The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies, Mayfield Village, Ohio, says a recent study of claims data on more than two million motorcycles it has insured over the past three years identifies the makes and models of bikes most and least likely to be stolen or crashed.
“Insurance rates are based on a lot of information about you and your driving record as well as the make and model bike you ride,” said Rick Stern, motorcycle product manager, at Progressive.
Progressive, citing its study, says the top five motorcycle types most likely to be stolen are the Suzuki GSX-R series, Yamaha YZF series, Honda CBR series, Suzuki Hayabusa, and Kawasaki Ninja series.
Progressive says bikes least likely to be stolen are the Suzuki Savage, BMW R1200C, Honda Rebel Series, Honda Shadow Series, and Yamaha V-Star.

Amphibian Frontier

Wednesday, May 25, 2011, 10:00 AM

We’ve loved Todd’s work forever and had the pleasure of designing his big monograph, “American Surreal” a couple of years ago; so it’s with great pleasure that we’re able to release our second project with him featuring the image that graced the cover of that book: “Amphibian Frontier.”

Todd writes in “American Surreal” that the image was born out of a free-associated mix of memories and artifacts from his 1950’s childhood: frog hunting, toy indians and a plastic Zorro, N.C. Wyeth’s illustrations in The Last of The Mohicans, and the traumatic experience of falling into a yellowjacket hive. Stirred together and shot through with yellow, the result is one of Todd’s most arresting images, released here for the first and only time.

We printed the edition using offset lithography to enable the scale and color that the image demands, and it came out beautifully. Todd works across scales so well, creating huge dynamic compositions that pop and grab you from afar which are rendered down to the atom and have a million little details to discover up close. So the only way to print this image was huge; the poster is three and a quarter feet tall. It’s on a satisfyingly heavy paper and we’ve added some blind embossed embellishments—a title, printer’s chops—as final touches.

All told it’s a stunning print. Buy it now on!

The Print:
  • Printed from an original Todd Schorr image
  • Offset lithography on premium cover weight paper
  • Hand signed by Todd Schorr

The Certificate of Authenticity:
  • Custom designed, embossed and perforated
  • Signed and numbered by the artist

The Edition
  • Released May, 2011
  • Print size is 39" x 25"
  • Image size is 20.25" x 33.75"
  • Edition of 100
  • 20 artist’s proofs

Diamonds And Pearls Tour
1992 D&P VIP pass.jpeg
The Crown Jewels is the seventh promotional compilation album by Prince, available in early-to-mid 1992 (between the commercial releases Diamonds And Pearls and SymbolSmallerBlue.png, to promote the Diamonds And Pearls Tour.

It was the first promotional compilation to be available on CD, and comprises of recordings from nine studio albums, released originally between 1982 and 1991. The tracks are presented in rough chronological order based on their release as singles, although this is not followed strictly.

The compilation is notable for featuring a previously-unavailable edit of Partyman which misses Jack Nicholson's intro sampled from the Batman movie (presumably for copyright reasons, although Kim Basinger's sampled line of "Ooh, I love purple" from the movie is still included). This edit was released the following year on the UK Peach single.

Seahawks safety Earl Thomas said after Sunday’s 16-12 win over the Panthers that the Seattle defense knew how things would play out for Cam Newton.

“We know he’s a great dual-threat quarterback, but once we bottle it up and frustrate him, we know he’s going to tank a little bit. We were able to do that today,” Thomas said, via the Associated Press.

Indeed they were. Newton was 12-of-29 for 141 yards during a frustrating day that saw Newton, given a chance to possibly pull things out late, underthrow a receiver in the end zone on fourth down. It was a terrible performance by any measure and it’s no surprise that Panthers coach Ron Rivera was asked about what’s wrong with Newton on Monday. Rivera thinks Newton’s trying to do too much and needs to be willing to take different things when necessary.

“It’s not just to advance the ball quickly. But it’s to work the different levels, different options and different combinations that are there. They take this away, come down and get this,” Rivera said, via Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer. “I think sometimes he holds it a little bit. He’s waiting for that guy to clear, and sometimes it’s too late.”

Rivera called it part of Newton “developing as a football player,” although it has looked like a move in the other direction at times this season. The Panthers offense is going to be stuck in neutral whenever Newton isn’t playing well, which makes it all the more urgent for him to get on track.

    Somethings seems off with Cam, the guy is an amazing athlete, I was one of those people that wanted him to prove he can play on Sundays and he can.

    It just seems after losses, his attitude is terrible, and I think it has started to carry into the next week on the field.

  2. NakedCowboy! says: Oct 8, 2012 1:43 PM

    cam is in a funk… panthers need to run the ball more…
    without cam firing… they are probably the worst team in the league…

  3. nfloracle says: Oct 8, 2012 1:44 PM

    Uh, isn’t it the coach’s job to get a player to “stop pressing” and throw intelligently?

    Who’s running the offense? Cam “White Towel” Newton or the coaches?

  4. mbernazzani says: Oct 8, 2012 1:57 PM

    Seahawks fan here… We have a good defense because they tackle. IMO tackling is your biggest issue. Im a Cam fan he’s the LeBron of football.

  5. chipwade says: Oct 8, 2012 1:57 PM

    I’d be rattled too if I saw Red Bryant headed right for me while wondering if Chris Clemmons or Bruce Irvin were about to crush me in my back.

  6. sportsmeccabi says: Oct 8, 2012 1:58 PM

    Of course, the defense is terrible, the offensive line can’t block, and the receivers aren’t very good outside of Steve smith and Greg Olsen. So he feels the need to carry the team, which he has to do if we want to win.

  7. opinevain says: Oct 8, 2012 1:59 PM

    I feel like Cam forgets that he has two good running backs. The offense is entirely placed on Cam’s shoulders. Before Cam, Deangelo williams was a Beast, now he can’t sniff 20 yards a game?

  8. pickney1 says: Oct 8, 2012 2:03 PM

    On the team when you few players showing passion to rid themselves of the losing name tag it has to be frustrating when to see players not play up to their level on a constant basis. ( see their Thursday night performance against the Giants)

  9. prince5000 says: Oct 8, 2012 2:14 PM

    his stats from last year: 21 TD and 17 INT.

    stats from this year: 2 TD and 5 INT .

    on pace to finish with: 7 TD and 16 INT.

    Is it possible he was a little overrated coming off last year – looks like defenses have figured him out.

  10. blacknole08 says: Oct 8, 2012 2:16 PM

    Our problem is we have no consistent balance on offense. When the running game goes stagnant, so does our offense.

    What we really need is another wideout to compliment Smitty.

  11. steallayer says: Oct 8, 2012 2:21 PM

    Funny how seattle’s D gets no credit for shutting down an explosive player like Newton. True, he is almost the only weapon in Carolina, but the way he was completely dominated is a matter of note for seattle.

  12. aces79 says: Oct 8, 2012 2:41 PM

    man this is desappointing i thought Carolina would have a better year this year

  13. footballgenius55 says: Oct 8, 2012 3:05 PM

    What’s wrong with you nfl media types he is in his second year and he broke records in his first year. Lay off the kid I would take cam over the the noodle arm Andrew luck a millions times over.

    P.S. don’t talk about lucks throws in the dome don’t forget it’s a dome it is perfect conditions.

  14. whyalwaysthehate says: Oct 8, 2012 3:19 PM

    How about this stat… He’s 7-14 as a pro.

  15. 7swag7 says: Oct 8, 2012 3:29 PM

    Oh, for chrissakes! The Panthers are not running a pro-style offense, or even a college-style offense. I watch every game and all I am seeing is a high school-style offense. Cam is that dude on your high school team that would call then coach’s play in the huddle, and then after the ball was snapped, turn it into a QB sneak or a QB sweep. Can we just go into our time machine and sign/draft some o-lineman and DB’s like we should have? I’m not saying it’s all Cam’s fault either – the Chud-cat offense is a joke!

  16. houndofthebaskervols says: Oct 8, 2012 3:32 PM

    Or it could be that he just sucks and is not an NFL caliber QB. The Panthers should trade him to the Jets so he can sit and learn behind Tebow. LOL

  17. dalucks says: Oct 8, 2012 4:10 PM

    After watching yesterday’s game, I saw three offensive problems with the Panthers. First, the offensive line played terrible. For the fifth week in a row. Second, the Panthers miss Jeremy Shockey and they overestimated the impact their young wide receivers would have on the offense. They should sign Plaxico Burress to give Cam another target in the passing game. Third, teams are double teaming Steve Smith and the running game is struggling. Plus, expectations were too high for this team in the preseason.
    Cam can be blamed for some of his passes but he is not playing with a stacked deck.
    Just an outside observation by a Texans fan. Go Texans.

  18. liddogg33 says: Oct 8, 2012 6:26 PM

    Steve Smith doubled??? NOT ONCE!!!! Sherm had him out on an island all game long!!! Pathetic!!! He is a total chump to go with it!!!

  19. tarheelpirate says: Oct 8, 2012 8:32 PM

    Is “Sherm” the guy that got body-slammed three or four times by 5′ 8″ Steve Smith?

    Cam’s teammates should thank him for taking all of the heat. It’s funny how we have no reporting about how poorly the rest of the team is playing. It’s disappointing that none of his teammates have really had his back. They are letting him take his share of the blame and their share of the blame. This is the worst tackling defense in football, and…silence.

  20. dallascowboysdishingthereal says: Oct 9, 2012 8:08 PM

    If by “trying to do too much” Rivera is referring to the GQ cover and launching a clothing line with Belks on Monday, then he is doing too much. Not focused on football.

Report: Hue Jackson is the “clear front-runner” for 49ers job

Hue Jackson AP

There could be an exception to the phrase, “Once a Raider, always a Raider.”

Former Oakland coach Hue Jackson could be returning to the Bay Area, as the coach of the biggest Raiders rival not in the AFC West.

Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reports that Jackson, now the Bengals offensive coordinator, has emerged as the “clear front-runner” in the chase to become the next head coach of a storied franchise that has fallen on hard times. Kawakami adds a caveat; Jackson’s status applies pending his interview on Sunday. And job interviews can change everything, for good or for bad.

Especially when the General Manager is trying to balance a desire to win with the importance of having a coach with whom the G.M. can co-exist.

With Jackson, there’s reason to at least be leery of a potential power grab, because he essentially tried to make one in Oakland after the 2011 season. The fact that he soon was fired may have taught him a valuable lesson about the importance of not trying to take over.

Regardless, Jackson gradually has emerged as one of the hottest candidates on the market, with his expertise on the offensive side of the ball and his ability to connect with players. And it doesn’t hurt that Jackson has ties to the Bengals, since Walsh coached there, too, on his path to becoming coach of the 49ers.

Other candidates to succeed Jim Tomsula include Bills running backs coach Anthony Lynn, former Eagles coach Chip Kelly, and Browns offensive coordinator John DeFilippo.

The Browns and Dolphins also are interested in Jackson, who arrived in Cincinnati after leaving Oakland, holding several positions on the staff of Marvin Lewis before becoming the offensive coordinator.

    So much for the Chip.

  2. punxrawk124 says: Jan 8, 2016 9:13 PM

    Hue would probably still be the Raiders head coach if he didn’t get greedy after Al Davis passed, and try to grab the GM’s job too

  3. blabidibla says: Jan 8, 2016 9:19 PM

    Please, not Kelly!

    I could accept Jackson.

    Just not Kelly.

  4. PhD says: Jan 8, 2016 9:19 PM

    Welcome to the House of Big Egos. Jed, Trent and next up Hue? Grab your popcorn.

  5. pinkmist4 says: Jan 8, 2016 9:19 PM

    How would Hue take to Baalke jumping in and trying to coach?

  6. squawktalkseahawk says: Jan 8, 2016 9:19 PM

    This can’t be sitting well with Stephen A.
    His PhD dissertation is in serious jeopardy.

  7. bengalsofthenorth says: Jan 8, 2016 9:20 PM

    I love Hue Jackson and because of that I pray he doesn’t get that craptastic job. I think he likes the west coast though. He’d be better off taking the Browns job at this point

  8. armchairqb says: Jan 8, 2016 9:22 PM

  11. loupalumbo says: Jan 8, 2016 9:28 PM

    I still prefer Chip Kelly

  12. psychoraider904 says: Jan 8, 2016 9:33 PM

    Great coach. Can’t believe it’s taken this long for someone to consider giving him another shot at head coach. He did amazing things on offense with minimal talent in oakland for a couple of seasons.

  13. bigkjsanjo says: Jan 8, 2016 9:41 PM

    You know what I have to save for Jimmy T. We did have an entire year where no 49ers made the news for misdeeds. That was a welcome change from the Harbaugh era.
    I’m not sure an ex Raiders coach would continue that trend.

  14. braceyourselffor12 says: Jan 8, 2016 9:41 PM

    Well for his sake I hope he goes elsewhere. This organization couldn’t run a Starbucks.

    Watching this last season unfold was like watching the Hindenburg crash into an already sinking Titanic.

  15. badmoonrison says: Jan 8, 2016 9:43 PM

    Speaking as a Raider fan this guy is a darn good coach. Had he been given a bit more time, the silver and black might be even further along that we presently are. And the media-reported power grab while with the Raiders was overblown big time IMO. There was a void once Al died, of course it has to be filled by someone. I think he will be a big part of the turnaround in SF….if Junior doesnt mess things up even worse than he already has.

  16. roddoliver says: Jan 8, 2016 9:46 PM

    As a Broncos fan, I thought Hue Jackson was doing a good job with the Raiders. It was a huge relief when McKenzie fired Jackson and hired Dennis Allen.

  17. joerymi says: Jan 8, 2016 9:52 PM

    Remember when they had a top five coach but decided that the “hiring a new coach every two or three years type of franchise” is just better?

  18. kaeprulestheworld says: Jan 8, 2016 9:52 PM

    He’s way better than what we where exposed to last year!

  21. thedrowsy1 says: Jan 8, 2016 10:00 PM

    49ers biggest rivals outside the AFC west? More than the Steelers, Patriots, Buccaneers? I think you mean Bay Area rivals.

  22. crownofthehelmet says: Jan 8, 2016 10:01 PM

    …Jackson’s status applies pending his interview on Sunday.

    So let me get this straight, he knows he has a playoff game on Saturday night, and he scheduled an interview for Sunday. Yes, I’m sure he’s spent this whole week focused on this playoff game, and hasn’t spent any time preparing for his interview. Not to mention, I guess he really didn’t plan on needing to use Sunday to prepare for their next game.

    If I were a bengals fan, I’d boo him on Saturday. Though that’s a moot thought, as most of the stadium will be Steeler fans.

  23. staffordsyear says: Jan 8, 2016 10:03 PM

    Good for him, i always thought he got hosed in Oakland a few years back.

  24. raiderlyfe510 says: Jan 8, 2016 10:21 PM

    Hue Jackson works very well with management and front office execs. His motto is that you can disagree without being disagreeable. The only time he tried to assert power with the Raiders is when there was a power vacuum created by the loss of the great Al Davis.

    We’re still struggling to get back to where Hue Jack City started off with the Raiders…8-8. Hue Jackson is the real deal. Whatever vision Big Al had for a player(s) or offense overall Hue Jackson was able to materialize it.

  25. sweetzinger says: Jan 8, 2016 10:26 PM

    If it was going to be Chip Kelly, I was going to pack it in and start cheering for a CFL team.

  26. southpaw79 says: Jan 8, 2016 10:29 PM

    That would be a good hire. He is hungry and has already been humbled. Would be interested to see if he can bring Vance Joseph with him as DC.

  27. autumnwind999 says: Jan 8, 2016 10:40 PM

    Go get ’em, Hue!

  28. speedel says: Jan 8, 2016 10:41 PM

    this is a genius move by a useless gm. A coach with a history of being power hungry will allow the blame for any failings can be attributed to the coach trying to undermind him.

    this is buck shifting exellence

  29. babyjesus69 says: Jan 8, 2016 10:44 PM

    If a coach thinks he can revitalize Kap then the niners job looks a lot more attractive with all that cap space and upcoming draft picks. When Kap is on point he’s an X factor. More so than Cam

  30. badburro says: Jan 8, 2016 10:56 PM

    “…holding several positions on the staff of Marvin Lewis…”

    Poorly worded…wonder what position Lewis’ staff is in when Hue is hold it.

  31. reecan says: Jan 8, 2016 10:59 PM

    Would have to put him through an Exorcise Program to make sure there’s No raider anything still in him that would result in Losing!

  32. shoesfinest says: Jan 8, 2016 11:01 PM

    If the Bengals lose tomorrow Hue should be the head coach in Cincinnati. Enough of the Marvin Lewis clown show. 13 years is enough time to win a playoff game….

  33. pantherpro says: Jan 8, 2016 11:01 PM

    Great fit for Hue. This ain’t the trash of Oakland This is top five franchise in football who will be only team in Bay after Raiders move to LA, Las Vegas/ Portland/ San Antonio/ St Louis. Welcome!

  34. lbijake says: Jan 8, 2016 11:16 PM

    Poor Chip. He had a chance for redemption with the 49ers. Still think Chip’s best chance is in Cleveland where they have no place to go but up.

  35. ctiggs says: Jan 8, 2016 11:17 PM

    Lets make this happen

  36. discosucs2005 says: Jan 8, 2016 11:27 PM

    But I thought he was just a “Rooney Rule” interview, right racists?

  37. nfl939 says: Jan 8, 2016 11:41 PM

    I surely hope the niner organization is better that to consider the power hungry under the bus throwing backstabbing coach who screwed up everything across the bay and pretended to be everything but honest devoted and loyal with his swift narcissistic demeanor. In the words of Mike Singletary, can’t work with him, can’t do it, won’t do it. He’s an ego maniac.I think this is going to blow up in the face of a team whose desperate direction will fall again to fire another black coach. Hhhhhmmm where will Marvin be when Jackson is unemployed again. Sociopath at the least.

  38. joecool16280 says: Jan 8, 2016 11:58 PM

    I’ll take him. Seems like a leader of men and that’s what we need.

  39. sellout1983 says: Jan 9, 2016 12:03 AM

    Hue, don’t forget about the job you currently have..

  40. azcardsfan4life says: Jan 9, 2016 12:08 AM

    He’d be a much better option than Chip Kelly. The Niners are built to run the football, not run the spread offense. Hue Jackson did a nice job with the Raiders, but the NFL wanted Tebow to be in the playoffs.

  41. gabbertformvp says: Jan 9, 2016 12:09 AM

    May as well.

  42. hrdcorbengalsfan says: Jan 9, 2016 12:10 AM

    Noooo….isn’t it time for Marvin to become GM and Hue to become head coach? Isn’t it time? We can’t let someone so valuable to our offense and our team leave again!

  43. lightofkolob says: Jan 9, 2016 12:15 AM

    So you have interest from Mike Holmgen, Mike Shannahan, Chip Kelly…and you go with Hue Jackson? Why? I mean Holmgren and Shannahan have been to multiple Superbowls? Why?

  44. coltzfan166 says: Jan 9, 2016 12:15 AM

    While this still doesn’t justify firing Jim Harbaugh, Hue would be a pretty good hire

  45. roseann894 says: Jan 9, 2016 12:26 AM

    If he gets the job, will the racist commenters on this site somehow attribute it to the Rooney Rule?

  46. arctantheta says: Jan 9, 2016 12:35 AM

    don’t do it Hue!!

  47. burfictisabeast says: Jan 9, 2016 1:14 AM

    Seriously, the Browns OC is up for a HC position? One city’s trash is another’s HC apparently. I suppose in a world where Harold Reynolds is a networks best option for World Series announcer, ANYTHING is possible.
    As a Bengals fan I believe Hue deserves another shot at HC somewhere…. just not in Cincinnati.

  48. dalvar1001 says: Jan 9, 2016 1:21 AM

    Not the worst mistake but right in line with firing Harbaugh and hiring Tomasula. You go Jeb

    Don’t know much about Hugh Jackson except the bengals offense has been pretty decent. Was hoping for chipper though as a hawks fan. Would have been fun seeing that train wreck.

  51. helicopterpilot13 says: Jan 9, 2016 4:31 AM

    Come on! Hugh Jackson has about as many ties to Bill Walsh as I do.
    You writers can’t help but fib.

  52. ballboy48 says: Jan 9, 2016 6:16 AM

    I think Hue ends up with Cleveland.

  53. joetoronto says: Jan 9, 2016 6:51 AM

    Everyone around the NFL knows Jackson is a snake in the grass, except for York.

  54. araidersfan says: Jan 9, 2016 7:10 AM

    As someone who hates the Whiners, I hope that they hire Hue Jackson. The petty political intrigues and backstabbing in Frisco will be almost as entertaining to watch as Jerry’s antics are in Dallas.

  55. youreinthejunglebaby says: Jan 9, 2016 7:22 AM

    Love Hue as our OC but 49ers are clearly just making all this up as they go along. It will take them a decade to get over forcing Harbaugh out.

  56. abninf says: Jan 9, 2016 7:42 AM

    There are few professions that pay millions of dollars where you can fail in a job, then get hired by someone else for the same job repeatedly.

  57. jacktatum32 says: Jan 9, 2016 7:54 AM

    Between this job and the Cleveland, I’m not sure which is worse.

    The next coach at each of those positions is destined to fail for many reasons.

    Ownership–both owners are clueless
    QB- neither team has a QB on their roster that can lead a team over .500. So, they have to draft a rookie, which is a 2-3 year process of growing pain–and with these owners, the next coach will be gone before the rookie develops. And the whole thing will be blown up again.

    Jackson could develop a QB (see Andy Dalton). But Dalton is also surrounded by a good number of skilled players. Neither the Niners or Clowns have much of a supporting cast (jury still out on Hyde and Duke Johnson has shown some flashed).

    Jackson may be better to wait for Marvin to retire in Cincinnati!

  58. dcapettini says: Jan 9, 2016 8:03 AM

    Given both the dearth of talent and the stupidity of the owner and GM, this job eclipses Cleveland as the “most likely to fail” HC position in the NFL. Why would Jackson take it? We know 14 million reasons that Tomsula took it. Will York offer that kind of guaranteed money again?

  59. alfredogarciashead says: Jan 9, 2016 8:12 AM

    Feel bad for Huge Action. Joining Abbott and Costello out there does not bode well.

  60. Bob says: Jan 9, 2016 8:38 AM

    “And it doesn’t hurt that Jackson has ties to the Bengals, since Walsh coached there, too, on his path to becoming coach of the 49ers.”

    I would bet that has zero to do with whether the 49ers want to hire him.

  61. jeremy2020 says: Jan 9, 2016 9:00 AM

    Hue Jackson makes poor decisions. This is his last shot as HC and he’s gonna go to a team where he’s destined to fail…

  62. bomatdaman says: Jan 9, 2016 9:03 AM

    Same people, same results.

    Another NFL recycling mistake. Like Norv Turner, Marc Tressman, and many others, Hue Jackson has demonstrated he is a good X & Os guy and a good offensive coordinator. And, all of these guys have demonstrated they are lousy head coaches. Why make the same mistake, again?

    Just because you were the greatest shooting guard in history doesn’t mean you’ll be a great center, or owner for that matter.

    Same people, same results.

  63. blakeden says: Jan 9, 2016 9:47 AM

    Baalke is running out of options and he knows it..Mess this up he’s gone…Should have been instead of Harbaugh…Should have been after Tomsula mess….

  64. semperfiguy1011 says: Jan 9, 2016 9:51 AM

    Anybody is better than Chip. Anyplace he goes will be an absolute dumpster fire. You don’t get rid of all pros and pro bowlers and expect to win in the NFL. Chip would be better off back in college. His philosophy and way of doing things just isn’t going to work in this league.

  65. punxrawk124 says: Jan 9, 2016 10:03 AM

    Hopefully Hue has learned not to throw everyone under the bus like he did at his last press conference as the Raiders head coach.

    On second thought that would be wildly entertaining.
    Hire him SF

  66. athleticxsupporter says: Jan 9, 2016 10:09 AM

    Well, if they hired Kelly, he couldn’t dismantle the roster any more than it already has been…

  67. hitit49 says: Jan 9, 2016 10:11 AM

    This would be good for one reason. Trent being fired after another 5 win season. Another case of a coach being way overrated because of talent on his roster

  68. thereisfootballwestofjersey says: Jan 9, 2016 10:26 AM

    Hopefully he brings Pac Man Jones with him so we can continue to win with class

    And people marvel that a guy would take a job at a place like Cleveland.

    If I had the chance to have one of only 32 jobs that exist in the world, I wouldn’t be too choosy.

    As long as you aren’t a complete disaster of a hire like Tomsula, you should get another chance.

    Raiders have ceen one of the worst teams in the NFL since
    Mckenzie fired Hue and destroyed the Raiders yet he i still collecting a paycheck. The rest of the AFC thanks Mckenzie for being one of the worst GM’s ever.

  75. rootpain says: Jan 9, 2016 12:19 PM

    Interesting option. I guess you might say that anyone that survived AL Davis is thick skinned enough to survive York. I don’t think Baalke will be an obstacle. If Jackson can coach the 49ers back to 8-8 or even 7-9, I think whoever pulls York’s strings will convince him they have a winner in place and to ensure he gives Jackson control. I think Baalke knows that as well and will work hard to mesh well with Jackson.
    Will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

    I don’t know what it’s like to be a “minority” coaching candidate in the NFL or other organizations with requirements like the Rooney Rule. But I think it would be frustrating to constantly be reminded that the only reason I was being interviewed was because I was a minority. That doesn’t reflect the reality that the primary reason credentialed candidates are being interviewed is because they are qualified and not just because they are a minority.
    Jackson is a qualified coaching candidate. His interview has nothing to do with him being black. It’s only because he is a qualified coach. If he gets the job or is passed over, it will only be because he either fit into the organization or he didn’t and not because of the color of his skin. Comments otherwise just reflect your ignorance.

    Lets be clear on one thing first….just because you had something to do with the Raiders at one time in your career, does not make you a Raider….Hue is not a Raider. It would almost be like calling Randy Moss a Raider…Guys who are Raiders, personfied themselves as Raiders….Fact is Jack Del Rio is a raider…non raiders might not understand this, but the nation does.

    With that being said time will tell if Hue is a good coach, or one of those guys that should just be an OC. One thing is for sure, he is not a GM. Trading picks for Arron Curry, Carson Palmer, etc….was just boneheaded decsisions by a guy whose head got to big for his own good.

    Go Raiders!

    Love how CIN coach are being heavily courted and even signed (Gace), but still no interest in PIT coaches. All those rings must be hard to move to relocate. 😉

  79. pdvera says: Jan 9, 2016 2:40 PM

    Say what you will about Hue but he was the last coach not to have a losing season with the Raiders. He was a creative & inspirational leader that had the Raiders playing well with a pretty bad roster. He was a terrible GM (ie Curry & Palmer) but a good coach. Special teams were fun to watch, dude has Seabass running on fake field goals & it was working. Lol.

    Niners have a good defense, with Hue on the offensive side things could turn around fairly quickly for the Niner Empire.

  80. r8dernation says: Jan 9, 2016 3:34 PM

    Whomever signs Hue will get a very good coach. He deserves another shot. I would like to see what he could do with the Lions.

  81. 440Barracuda says: Jan 9, 2016 8:45 PM

    I’m not sure if this is a reason to be happy or sad for Hue. That’s gonna be a horrible job until the front office fixes itself or gets replaced.

  82. tonebones says: Jan 9, 2016 11:29 PM

    There is absolutely no chance the 49ers hire Hue Jackson. He’s way to assertive and way too sure of himself. Baalke wants a weak guy that he can control. Nobody’s going to control Jackson.

  83. nfl939 says: Jan 10, 2016 12:08 AM

    You guys keep saying hue was the best thing in oakland. 8-8 and 8-8. FIRED! After tonight I’d be surprised if anyone sees any excitement in bringing in Hue Jackson. Horrible horrible horrible. No class Bengals lose it for the whole city. Stop talking about Hue. He personally Sand Bagged his offense so he can head over and begin his interviews. Threw Lewis under the bus with poss poor offense. Check the c stats. I’m sick to my stomach. Next person that’s says Hue Jackson I’m gonna cut my dam ears off. Poor Marvin gave him a job and will lose his job. You think Hue will give Marvin a job. We will see. Piss poor!

For Schools

Your school can make a difference

Education is an important part of Palestinian culture. And with youth making up 60% of the population, there are tons of Palestinian students just like you hoping for the opportunities that come with learning a new language, exploring social media, or traveling to a new country. There are enormous challenges in their way, but the good news is that you and your school can help.

Sponsor a Program

Fundraising can be hard work, but the money you collect, however much, will help us change the lives of the youth we work with in Palestine. The first thing you’ll want to do is set up a fundraising page with our partner CanadaHelps. Customize your page for your school and ask your fellow fundraisers to share it with all their friends on Facebook and Twitter. That’s thousands of people you can reach, and the donations you receive will go straight to Project Hope and our vital community programs.

Pick a program, make a plan, and get started! Feel free to contact us at any point if you’d like to learn more about our work and how your school can support it.

Help us reach our goal

Every month, between 20 and 40 hard-working Palestinian volunteers, most of them students like you, help make our classes and activities a success. Our goal is to raise US $10,000 in order to run a new local volunteer training program for one year. It will enable us to give our Palestinian student volunteers the skills and resources they need to succeed, as well as provide them with monthly pocket money for travel and other expenses, so that no local volunteer or student is ever excluded for to financial reasons.

Raise Awareness

We’re always interested in supporting exhibitions, performances and talks. We have useful material, so contact us if you plan to host an event. We can supply artwork, photography, and — if logistics allow — a Project Hope representative to provide your audience with unique insight into our work and life in the West Bank.

Have another idea?

If you have another idea for how you’d like to partner your class or school with Project Hope, then please contact us. We’d love to hear from you.

Project Hope

Project Hope is a community not-for-profit and a registered charity.

Project Hope works in the refugee camps, cities, and villages of the Nablus region of the northern West Bank, teaching English and delivering other essential education, arts and sports programs to Palestinian children and youth.

The largest volunteer organization of its kind in Palestine, Project Hope fosters dialogue and cooperation between local and international volunteers, while encouraging its volunteer alumni to remain involved with the issue of Palestine afterward.

Gerry's Attraction is a program for viewing the Lorenz Attractor and Rössler Attractor in 3D.

It moves! It zooms! It rotates! It does real-time 3D!

Most programs which display these attractors usually give a static 2D view of these 3D objects which makes it very difficult to see what they truely look like and how they behave. Gerry's Attractor allows you to watch points become "attracted" to the attractors over time.

Gerry's Attraction allows you to "fly" around and through either attractor with total freedom viewing it from any vantage point (Similar to how you move around in the game Descent). And you can even see what it's like to follow the path of one of the points using the "Guided By Point" Camera Mode.

A phone call a few weeks ago from Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman really got Vinny Lecavalier to thinking about his hockey future. Hearing a decision would be made within a week on buying out his contract was jarring to Lecavalier.

Before knowing for sure he’d become a free agent, let alone join the Flyers, Lecavalier realized he was a prime candidate for a buyout due to his big contract, age and last season’s lockout leading to a salary-cap drop for the 2013-14 season.

Still, the thought of moving on was upsetting. Lecavalier had gone from being drafted first overall by Tampa Bay to playing there for 14 seasons, four as an All-Star center. He’d won a Stanley Cup there. It also had become home to the 33-year-old Montreal native, his wife and their two daughters.

A week after the call from Yzerman, Lecavalier was summoned to a meeting two Thursdays ago in Tampa for a final decision. Wanting cap relief, the Lightning opted to buy out the remaining seven seasons of his $110 million contract.

For Lecavalier, the development will become $32.67 million in buyout money over the next 14 seasons, plus immediate unrestricted free agency as well as disappointment and uneasiness about his uncertain future.

“My mom took it pretty hard,” Lecavalier said Saturday in a conference call that was his first interview as a Flyer. “My wife as well. We all enjoyed it there (in Tampa). It’s a good organization. ... There was a lot of thinking of what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go. I’ve never been in that situation before. That’s why I wanted to meet with a lot of teams.”

When a bunch showed interest, Lecavalier headed to New York City last weekend to do some speed dating with suitors, as NHL execs for every team were in the area for the draft, held last Sunday in Newark. In all, 10 meetings were lined up. Of the eight held Saturday and two Sunday morning, one stood out.

Hearing what Flyers president Peter Luukko, general manager Paul Holmgren and head coach Peter Laviolette had to say and offer, Lecavalier pretty much made up his mind right then that he wanted to join a franchise that was coming off a rare no-playoff season, but loaded with skilled young forwards.

Deadline News -- Jack Mearns

a novel of suspense by

book photo

full size

Deadline News

Book Description

After being acquitted of his wife's brutal murder, celebrity television news anchor Wade Newsome claims to be targeted by an assailant bent on exacting divine justice. Is this mysterious Righteous Avenger a figment of Newsome's guilty conscience, a publicity stunt intended to speed his return to the Deadline News anchor desk, or a genuine threat?

A skeptical LAPD detective, Carl Pope, must determine the truth of Newsome's claims.

Deadline News combines suspense with Hollywood satire, in the vein of Seth Greenland's The Bones. Deadline News is also, more broadly, a social satire, taking on America's media culture and the public's obsession with celebrity trials. With its focus on the intersection of societal alienation and the entertainment industry, Deadline News also recalls the work of Nathanael West.

In this era of Robert Blake and O. J. Simpson, Deadline News is a topical, humorous, and readable novel of suspense.

Described by James Papez in 1937, the Papez circuit of the brain is one of the major pathways of the limbic system and is chiefly involved in the cortical control of emotion. The Papez circuit plays a role in storing memory. Papez discovered the circuit after injecting rabies virus into a cat's hippocampus and monitoring its progression through the brain. The initial pathway was described as follows:

Since then, new findings in neuroanatomy and brain function have elucidated a larger circuit that also includes the prefrontal cortex (PFC), amygdala, and septum among other areas. The PFC and amygdala are key components in this larger loop.
