Not many players are going to be able to grok the gigantic playbook in its fullness in a few practices, or even in a few dozen practices – that’s why QBs are redshirted and then wear the headset and carry a clipboard for another year or two before seeing much on-field time in such offenses, knowing when to call Spider 2 Y banana and when to dramatically switch to Spider 3 Y banana.

- Open My Computer and find where droidcam was installed. By default it should be under Program Files. Note the location (eg. “C:\Program Files\Droidcam”, or “Program Files (x86)”)
- Go to start -> all programs -> accessories. Right-click on “Command Prompt” and choose ‘run as administrator’
- In the window that opens, enter cd “C:\Program Files\DroidCam\”, where the text in quotes represents the install location from above.
- Enter cd adb
- Enter adb devices
Connect your device to the computer with the USB cable, then use the USB option on the PC client and click [Start].
The client will try to detect the device and establish a connection. If it works, great, you can stop reading now
USB connections are possible via a program called “Android Debug Bridge”, or ADB. A copy of adb.exe is included in the DroidCam installation folder. You can search on Google for info on ADB in Android.
ADB works when manufacturer drivers are installed on the computer (ie. drivers from Samsung, or Sony, or HTC, etc.).
Here are the steps you need to take:
1. Disconnect the device from computer.2. Install drivers for your device on computer, see: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Drivers.
3. On the device, if you are running Android 4.2+, enable “Developer Options” in Settings. See http://www.cnet.com/how-to/restore-the-developer-options-menu-in-android-4-2/
4. In “Developer Options”, enable “USB Debugging”. Plug the phone to computer over USB. Your computer will now detect the phone as a new “usb device” and associate it with the drivers installed in step 1.
This should be enough for DroidCam to work over USB.
If you get “connection reset” errors from the Droidcam client, try changing the port setting in the app and the client.You can manually check if ADB is working:
The last command above prints “List of devices attached”, followed by any detected device IDs (e.g. “device HT1234ABCD”) when things work.

The Swiss Central Bank Just Made Davos a Lot Pricier – Bloomberg
-
The franc jumped at least 14 percent today after the Swiss central bank decided now was the time to stop capping its value. A dollar today buys a Davos delegate 88 Swiss centimes, down from 97 centimes a month ago.
-
That means a Johnnie Walker Blue at the Belvedere Hotel, the schmoozer’s hostelry of choice during the forum, would set you back the equivalent of $41 today for the 36-franc whisky, about $6 more than a nightcap yesterday.
-
2004 Dom Perignon for those in a celebratory mood will cost about $400, up from $343 before the Swiss National Bank’s announcement.
-
The franc’s sudden jump threatens to make an event that already costs a small fortune to attend more exclusive. The forum’s organizers are preparing to increase the annual fee for its top category of corporate membership to 600,000 francs in July, or $673,000 if you’re still counting.
-
“We feel a bit shocked and a bit scared,” said Yvonne Wipraechtiger, managing director of Schneider’s, a cafe on the Davos promenade. “If you work in the export industry you could work with this, but in tourism it’s much more expensive now for everybody coming here.”
-
-
Switzerland abandons its currency cap: The markets are freaking out.
-
Switzerland’s economy is driven heavily by tourism and exports, 40 percent of which are shipped to the eurozone. Therefore, it needs to keep its exchange rate against the euro reasonably low.
-
The problem is, when countries sell lots of exports and keep inflation low, like the Swiss, their currency starts to look like an attractive investment option.
-
panicking money men saw the franc as a safe haven and started buying it en masse, pushing up its exchange rate with the euro, and pushing some exporters into bankruptcy.
-
Sensing an emergency, the Swiss National Bank declared that it would start buying euros in “unlimited quantities” to keep the franc’s value down. Thus, we got the cap.
-
The European Central Bank is about to begin a round of quantitative easing to revive the region’s economy—which, for all intents and purposes, means it will be printing lots of euros, which Switzerland would have to purchase in bulk to maintain its exchange rate.
-
For those who don’t follow the movements of the global markets religiously, the basic lesson here is that, just as it can be dangerous when investors collectively decide to dump your currency (see Russia), it can also be problem if they bum rush your banks to buy it.

Stupid Move: Navy Will Buy V-22 Ospreys To Replace Its C-2 Greyhounds
-
, the V-22 has the ability to land and takeoff vertically. Although this feature has no value for the baseline COD mission , the Navy sees this capability as something that can change the way it does logistics for the Carrier Strike Group.
-
So the HV-22 could presumably eliminate the current ‘hub and spoke’ aerial logistics train used around the Carrier Strike Group today. It sounds interesting but is this really an solution to a non-existent problem?
-
Whether or not the ability to fly over storms in a pressurized cabin over almost double the distance when compared to an Osprey is worth sacrificing for the theoretical efficiency of having a COD platform being capable of vertical landing and takeoff is highly debatable.
-
. This will limit the Carrier Strike Group’s access to high-speed logistics in ‘blue water’ (far out to sea) operating environments all in the hopes of finding new logistical efficiencies around the Carrier Strike Group itself.
-
Is it because it is an unglamorous mission and because of the fact that the C-2 doesn’t have anywhere near the lobbying power behind it that the Bell-Boeing Osprey does after decades of being hardened by budget and timeline busting redesigns, mishaps and Congressional foreplay?
-
It’s great for what it is: if you want to fly 1000 miles with a dozen people on board, then stop in a 50 foot square, you can’t beat it. That is not COD, and pretending that it ought to be shoehorned into that program is just ludicrous.

How Urban Meyer Took the Buckeyes to School
-
What he hit upon is an approach that is increasingly popular in academic circles, but still mostly unheard of in the hidebound world of football coaching: flipping the classroom.
-
In an effort to speed up the installation of his spread-option playbook—an offense that devastated defenses while Meyer was at Utah and Florida—Meyer decided to abandon old-school chalkboard sessions. Instead, he devoted team meetings to hands-on exercises, such as walking through plays and doing situational drills.
-
When senior quarterback Braxton Miller was lost for the season with a shoulder injury 12 days before the opener, Ohio State’s outlook appeared bleak. Since then, Meyer turned Barrett, Miller’s redshirt-freshman backup, into a Heisman Trophy contender with a lineup featuring six freshmen and 11 first-year starters
-
“It really speaks to his skill as a teacher,” said Keith Grabowski, a former college assistant and founder of Coaches Edge Technologies, an online aid for coaches. “They are on the cutting edge with the methods they use.”
-
He didn’t use the flipped classroom term to describe his approach, but outlined his belief in “on-edge” teaching, in which players are kept on the edge of their seats during team meetings by a barrage of impromptu quizzes and individual interactions designed to keep them engaged.

Non grad transfer qb possibility
-
If Miller thinks he has what it takes to be an NFL QB, he should probably transfer. I don’t know what kind of incumbent Houston has, but following Herman to help him build that program while throwing 35-40 times per game might not be a bad call. I don’t know what program might be more pro-style on offense and make a good landing spot (and no, he’s not going to lead the Fappening in Ann Arbor). I do know that I don’t want OSU to have to face him if he leaves.

What’s interesting is that they both use URLs to direct the user to the next step of the game. That’s certainly a time-saver for the creator (as we shall see) but has a few disadvantages.
-
URLs eat into your character count. Each URL counts for 23 characters. So two choices really reduces the amount of space you have for story telling.
-
It’s easy to see the whole game just by scrolling through the Twitter feed.

You have to write the game in a linear fashion. That is, you need to write a Tweet before you can point a URL at it.

Maven is targeted at introductory marketing courses. It simulates a small marketing company that sells up to two products in one, two, or three regions. Players focus on selling their through retail markets to the general public; all manufacturing is sub-contracted to another company. The two products are not substitutes for one another, nor are they complementary. Through Maven players learn the challenges of applying the marketing concepts they are reading in their textbook (e.g., the 4 Ps of marketing) to a business enterprise. Each decision round requires players to make approximately 65 decisions, primarily in the marketing functional area.

Unforgivable: The Governor and the Teen-ager
-
He sentenced McDonnell to two years, a term of such impressive leniency that McDonnell’s first words outside the courthouse in Richmond were ones of thanks to the justice system. Dry, the prosecutor, left the court without comment, “his face twisted in anger,” as a reporter put it. For comparison purposes, prosecutors had argued that McDonnell’s deeds went on far longer than those of Phillip A. Hamilton, a former Virginia lawmaker convicted, in 2011, of bribery and extortion and sentenced to nine and a half years, and that McDonnell’s office was higher than that of Hamilton. (Another former governor, Rod Blagojevich, of Illinois, is serving fourteen years.)
-
American sentencing today rests on a mix of improvisation, unthinking bureaucracy, power, and cruelty.
-
The Equal Justice Initiative (E.J.I.), a nonprofit, represented Blount in an appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, but the court turned it down, maintaining its position that teen offenders already have a merciful option in the form of “geriatric release”—the right to appeal once they turn sixty years old.
