Making the playoffs every years since 2009 pretty much says a team has plenty of fantasy options.? The Green Bay Packers look to take aim at their third-straight NFC North division title.? Their core is in its prime and they have some quality players behind the scenes as well.? Which names should drafters look out for?

Offense ? Aaron Rodgers

Anybody who is surprised by the first two selections in this article should really re-evaluate their stance on watching pro football.? Aaron Rodgers is arguably the best player in the NFL, let alone the best fantasy option on the Green Bay Packers,? He piles up passing yards and touchdowns like a pinball machine and even is a threat to add some points in the rushing game just for flavor.? There is a slight risk in him getting hurt given the instability of the offensive line but with so many weapons including a new running game, there is no reason to think the real A-Rod won?t Discount Double-check his way to another MVP-caliber season.

Defense ? Clay Matthews

Besides maybe corner Tramon Williams, Clay Matthews was the obvious choice.? He is perhaps the best rush 3-4 linebacker in football and the most consistent threat the Packers have on a defense that tends to get by on scheme more often than talent.? Matthews is durable, smart, skilled and relentless.? That is why he had a combined 16 sacks in the regular season and playoffs last year.? The big help for him, at least it?s hoped is the addition of rookie Datone Jones to the defensive front.? His big, powerful body is expected to bring more push up front.? That should divert blockers away from the edges, allowing Matthews to feast on more quarterbacks than ever before.

Rookie ? Jonathan Franklin

Make no mistake.? Write it down.? Eddie Lacy may get the press but the rookie running back that will have the greatest impact for the Packers in 2013 is Jonathan Franklin.? The young man out of UCLA is a much better fit for their system.? Not only is he compact and deceptively powerful, making it easy to run between the tackles, he is also fast and a proven receiver out of the backfield.? He?s also cleared up a bad fumbling issue that dogged him throughout college.? Once head coach Mike McCarthy realizes fully what he has, Franklin should see the field a lot, whether Lacy is in shape or not.

Sleeper ? Nick Perry

Somewhat of a forgotten man among Green Bay Packers fans.? The 2012 first round pick had a decent start to his rookie season with two sacks but watched it all come crashing down when a wrist injury landed him on injured reserve after just six games.? The team has high hopes for him going into 2013 and like Matthews he should reap the benefits of Datone Jones joining the front.? The lingering question is can he adapt to the 3-4 alignment and excel.? An answer will come fairly soon, and the fans will make sure they don?t forget him again.

Reduce timeout for creation of question in Android app

In using the Android app for the first time today, I quickly discovered several things that I would like to suggest for improvement. Being a dedicated SOer and dutiful alpha tester, I tried to use the Android app to post these questions here to Meta.

Which leads me to this question. I composed my second question and hit "preview", to be greeted with:

A creation of question can only be performed once every 900 seconds

Aside from the grammer [sic], the 900 second timeout seems rather long -- 15 minutes.

Can this be reduced, perhaps based on rep?

Bitcoin Ponzi Schemer Duped Investors: 'It's Growing, It's Growing!'

The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged a man in Texas named Trendon T. Shavers with "defrauding investors in a Ponzi scheme involving Bitcoin," to the tune more than $4.5 million.

Investors were apparently unperturbed by the fact that Shaver's company, Bitcoin Savings and Trust, offered and sold Bitcoin-denominated investments online under the monikers ?Pirate? and ?pirateat40.? Perhaps because Shavers adamantly insisted that buying and selling Bitcoin was booming opportunity that posed no risk at all:

Shavers posted general solicitations on a website dedicated to Bitcoin discussions, and he misled investors with such false assurances about his investment opportunity as ?It?s growing, it?s growing!? and ?I have yet to come close to taking a loss on any deal,? and ?risk is almost 0.?

Contrary to what he told investors, however, Shavers wasn't actually trading the virtual currency, as much as he was running a regular 'ole U.S. dollar-based Ponzi scheme, only with Bitcoin:

The SEC alleges that Shavers promised investors up to 7 percent weekly interest based on BTCST?s Bitcoin market arbitrage activity, which supposedly included selling to individuals who wished to buy Bitcoin ?off the radar? in quick fashion or large quantities. In reality, BTCST was a sham and a Ponzi scheme in which Shavers used Bitcoin from new investors to make purported interest payments and cover investor withdrawals on outstanding BTCST investments. Shavers also diverted investors? Bitcoin for day trading in his account on a Bitcoin currency exchange, and exchanged investors? Bitcoin for U.S. dollars to pay his personal expenses.

The value of Bitcoin has dropped considerably since the fervor in April, when it skyrocketed to more than $237. (It's currently trading at around $93.) However, Shaver's investments were bought and sold between 2011 and 2012.

So just imagine what shenanigans will come to light when the feds catch up to 2013.
