SELKIRK, Man. — Val Sweeting has a chance to win her first career Grand Slam of Curling title when her Edmonton rink takes on Sweden's Margaretha Sigfridsson in the women's final Sunday at the Masters.
Watch the Masters Grand Slam of Curling women's final live on Sportsnet East, Ontario, West & Pacific at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT
Sweeting made a sudden lineup change on the eve of the Masters when third Andrea Crawford, who joined the rink over the summer, left the team. For the Masters, Sweeting added Winnipeg-born Cathy Overton-Clapham, who has captured one world championship, five Scotties and two Players' Championship titles.
Overton-Clapham fit right in with the "tripod" of Sweeting, second Dana Ferguson and lead Rachelle Brown. They finished 3-1 in the round robin with their only loss coming against Olympic champions Team Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg. They topped Switzerland's Alina Paetz 5-2 in the quarterfinals and ensured a new team name would be added to the Masters trophy when they defeated two-time defending champion Rachel Homan 4-3 in the extra end of the semifinals.
It's the first career Grand Slam of Curling final appearance for Team Sweeting but their third World Curling Tour final on the season. They were runner-ups at both the HDF Insurance Shoot-Out and the Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic earlier this year.
GSOC Masters: Latest scores and stats
Sochi Olympics silver medallist Margaretha Sigfridsson makes her second career trip to a Grand Slam of Curling final. Sigfridsson's team from Skellefteå, Sweden, fell to Scotland's Eve Muirhead at the 2013 Players' Championship.
Sigfridsson skips from the lead position and is joined by fourth Maria Prytz, third Christina Bertrup and second Maria Wennerström.
Team Sigfridsson had a back-and-forth round robin — finishing with a 2-2 record — and needed a 6-4 win over Russia's Anna Sidorova in the tiebreakers to qualify. The team continued to pick up steam and defeated reigning world champion Binia Feltscher 8-4 in the quarterfinals and edged home province favourite Jones in a rematch of the Sochi Olympics gold medal game.
Sigfridsson won a title on home soil earlier this season taking the Stockholm Ladies Curling Cup with playoff wins over Jones and Homan en route to the championship.

Shopping stolen
Police are investigating a theft from a Tulloona Street house in Mount Druitt.
The victim returned home with her shopping at about 11am last Wednesday (February 26).
She left the shopping at the door while she returned to her car to get more items when a man emerged from bushes and took the bags.
He is described as being 18-20 years of age, of skinny build and wearing red shorts.

Tim Sylvia, the former UFC heavyweight champion who was once considered one of the toughest fighters in the world (not many people choose a broken arm over tapping out), has been old and crappy for some time now, and he finally bottomed out this weekend at "Adrenaline III: Bragging Rights" in Birmingham this weekend, when he weigh in at a hefty 310 pounds and got knocked out less than 10 seconds into the first round. As you can see from the video, he's clearly unconscious before he even hits the ground, which I haven't seen since I drugged your mom's drink. Not that I needed to. Because she's easy.
In more important MMA news, UFC 99 was held on Saturday night, and for the most part it was a pretty entertaining card. The highlights:
- Mirko Cro Cop returned to UFC, beating tomato can Mustapha al-Turk, but the fight was marred by the TKO that was called when the referee missed an eye-poke by Cro Cop. And things only got worse when news broke that Cro Cop had leveraged this fight to draw more attention to his career before he flew the coop for DREAM. Or not (see link below)
- Dan Hardy won a close-fought split decision over Marcus Davis, likely helped by the fact that he shattered Davis's nose, forcing the ref to halt the fight briefly to wipe away some of the blood pooling on Davis's face. It was sickening. And awesome.
- And in the headliner, Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva fought at a catch weight of 195 pounds, and they simply beat the living jesus out of each other for fifteen minutes. What an awesome fight. As the bell for the third round rang, with both fighters dazed and exhausted, Franklin had gotten behind Silva, and they were still relentlessly attacking: Silva was throwing repeated elbows to Franklin's head while Franklin was landing hooks to Silva's face. Franklin took the decision, but the real winner was anyone who likes to watch dudes kick the crap out of each other.

What to Look For In Today's Premium Shower
Once upon a time, taking a shower was as simple as it got. It didn't matter whether you were based at Buckingham Palace or a three bed-semi a couple of hundred miles down the road; you stepped in, got washed, and stepped out.
For a lot of people, this experience hasn't changed. However, for those who are looking to maximise their showering experience (there's a phrase you never thought you'd hear!), it's now possible to bling' your shower up in the most inventive ways you could imagine.
Manufacturers are now releasing product after product which seems to better the previous one, and subsequently bring an element of luxury to the morning shower. Several years ago, the main difference between systems may have been the material that the shower as made of. Now, be prepared to cipher through any of the following features when buying your next shower model.
The Big Head
It's probably the simplest feature we'll describe through this article, but it's something a lot of householders crave anyhow. There are now countless shower heads on the market that are huge in size and under the right circumstances, they can allow for much bigger quantities of water to be dispersed.
When we talk about the correct circumstances, we're really referring to water pressure. In those homes which have poor pressure, there is little point in purchasing a sizeable head as you'll be limited to a gentle trickle. Of course, you can get around this issue, and these Grundfos domestic water pumps can be one way to increase the pressure and subsequently make your bathroom more suited to a larger head. There are also other ways to try and achieve this, although the above is the most permanent solution.
The Las Vegas Shower
The heading is probably a bit of an exaggeration, although the invention of LED shower heads has transformed some bathrooms into something of a neon lights show. The topic of combining lights and water may have been frowned upon several years ago, but this technology results in LED nodes being activated upon the release of water through the head. Some will stay a constant colour, while others will change based on the temperature and pressure.
If used correctly, they can turn the ordinary bathroom into the ultra-contemporary.
The Body Wash
Nowadays, showers are not reserved for overhead use. The emergence of fully body wash systems have taken the market by storm and more and more people are opting for this solution, which sees jets attached to the walls as well as from above the head. As such, the user is immersed in water from all angles and as well as theoretically making the showering process more efficient, the varying settings mean that many can promote a form of massage at the same time.
The Remote Control
The final 'premium' feature we're going to mull over is the remote control; or in some cases, just the standard hi-tech control. Some showers have become indulged with so many features that they need a control panel to manage them. Whether it's a digital temperature gauge, the spray intensity or even settings tailored to each member of the family, the modern control panel really has made the typical showering experience something that nobody could have imagined several years ago.
Of course, if you scour the web hard enough you could probably find umpteen shower features that put the standard models to shame. For a lot of people, the standard head will suffice. For those that want a little luxury in their bathroom though, many of these options don't cost the earth to install and they are certainly becoming more mainstream.

Johan Santana MRI shows 'probable' re-tear of shoulder capsule; would miss year with surgery
Back in 2010 when he tore an anterior capsule in his left shoulder, Johan Santana probably wasn't sure if he would ever be the same Cy Young Award-caliber kind of pitcher again. After surgery and more than a year of rehab, he made it back to the majors in 2012 and, while his overall results weren't great, he did pitch the first no-hitter in New York Mets history in June. He called it the greatest feeling he ever had.
[Also: Tigers ace Justin Verlander signs record five-year extension]
At 34 years old, Santana now has to ask himself: Does he have the will to make another comeback from the same injury?
Mets GM Sandy Alderson said Thursday that an MRI on Santana's ailing left shoulder revealed a "probable" re-tear of his shoulder capsule. If he has surgery, Santana would miss at least a year. The Mets owe Santana $25 million this season and $25 million more in 2014, but have the luxury of a buyout clause that would save them $19.5 million if they so choose. The Mets did not insure Santana's $137.5 million contract, signed back in 2008, to save money on expensive premiums — a route many major league teams have taken in recent years.
Even though the Mets gave slugger David Wright a big contract extension earlier in the offseason, that was done to shore up the longterm health of the club; they were not likely to contend in the NL East this season, even if Santana were healthy. He could have been a trade chip, possibly, though at his salary, the Mets would have eaten a lot of the money anyway.
And Santana going down shouldn't effect the impending promotion of right-hander Zack Wheeler from the minors. He'll be along in due time.
[Baseball 2013 from Yahoo! Fantasy Sports: Join a league today!]
Unless he invested with the Wilpons, Santana probably has more money than he'll ever need. He's not a future Hall of Famer at this rate, but he's racked up some impressive accomplishments in baseball, including two Cy Youngs with the Minnesota Twins. Three ERA titles. Three strikeout titles. Nearly 2,000 strikeouts. It's been a great career. And it might be over.

You will be surprised who had the best quarterback game of the week, but you won't be surprised who had the worst. Plus: We say nice things about Willie Parker!
54 comments, Last at 14 Jan 2009, 3:20pm by Mark S.
Johnson was the cream of the rookie running back crop in 2008. Everyone else is playing catch-up.
And what was Matt Forte, chopped liver?
Johnson: 170 DYAR
Forte: 38 DYAR
So, yeah, pretty much.
Johnson: 151 DYAR
Forte: 245 DYAR
Those are the totals that include receiving as well as rushing. And while I didn't see a whole lot of Titans' games, Forte looked like a superior blocker by a significant margin. You can certainly argue Johnson is the superior player, but it's not as cut and dry as you and Bill suggest.
Wow, those are crazy good receiving numbers. His receiving DYAR is higher than, for example, Peter King All-Pro Selection Wes Welker. That is nuts, but then again, Orton was throwing to Brandon Lloyd as one of his primary WRs, so I guess a lot of RB targets were inevitable. Talk about making the most of it, though.
Besides Forte's huge contribution in the passing game (second among all RBs and led CHI in receptions), consider also that he got to play behind Chicago's vaunted offensive line, which includes such luminaries as journeyman turnstile John St. Clair at LT.
TEN's line is better by FO stats, and features two deserving pro bowlers: Michael Roos at LT and Kevin Mawae at C.
Yes, the Bears line does not help the running game at all. Last year, though Benson certainly didn't look great, the line never even gave him anything to work with. I wasn't at all surprised to see him perform competently in Cincinnati.
He's ketchup. Just like the rest of the rookie class.
Actually, upon closer inspection, Slaton has the exact same DYAR as Johnson. Lower DVOA, though, so I guess the original point stands.
Collins did great work on first down, picking up seven of his 16 first downs there. Although he threw deep frequently, he might have been better off just keeping it underneath. Collins was 2-of-12 for 44 yards and an interception on passes of 20 yards or more. That left him 24-of-30 for 237 yards on the shorter stuff.
Isn't it more likely the underneath stuff would have been shut down if Collins hadn't tried going deep at all, or is "keeping the defence honest" another commentator's myth?
Is it just me, or is the order of the QBs messed up? McNabb should be ahead of Eli, shouldn't he?
The first bold column is total DYAR, and Eli's is higher than McNabb's. The chart is sorted by total DYAR, not EYards, which is the final column. It is kind of awkward, when you have cases where DYAR and EYards disagree.
Thanks for clarifying that.
I think this is a case where stats really do lie, though. Consider their respective interceptions: Manning's first was incredibly damaging as it led directly to an Eagles TD and it was a clear mistake on his part. McNabb's first, on the other hand, was on third-and-long out of field goal range, and it was a deep pass. If the Eagle receiver had caught it, great, but otherwise, a pick or an incompletion are essentially the same since the Eagles would have punted on the next snap anyway. McNabb's second pick definitely hurt, as it led to a go-ahead FG by the Giants, but Eli's second one essentially iced the game for the Eagles as it gave them the ball back with a 12-point lead and under four minutes to play.
This discussion has been going on in the Audibles thread, but to summarize some points I was making there:
1. Eli's first INT being so damaging is largely because of Asante Samuel's return. That's not attributable to QB performance. If, for example, Fred Robbins, who is a lot slower than Samuel, had returned McNabb's pass inside the Eagles 10, we would be looking at that INT a lot differently.
2. Tagging something as more or less damaging is largely circumstantial, and not really indicative of actual player performance. McNabb was more fortunate that his INT's didn't come in as "big a spot" as Eli's, but that doesn't mean he played better.
The difference in field position when the INTs occurred is very important as well, and QB play should be considered in its proper context. Eli threw his first pick when the Giants were at their own 13 yard line, when a turnover can least be afforded. Samuel caught it at the 27, basically an automatic three points for the Eagles even without a return.
Manning's second INT was on a deep ball, much like McNabb's first, but again, context is important. The Giants weren't desperate enough that they needed yards in huge chunks, but they were desperate enough that a turnover was a killer.
McNabb's second pick to Robbins was tipped, which is certainly at least partially McNabb's own fault, but I don't think it compares to the bad decisions/throws by Manning.
Manning's second INT - they were down by two scores with 3:24 left in the game. I'd say they were absolutely in a position where they needed yardage in big chunks. Certainly that wasn't as big a situation as either of McNabb's 2 INTs, both when the lead was less than a FG. Mentioned in the Audibles thread, but I'm just not buying that McNabb has some sense of the most opportune time to throw an INT. That is just silly. Sure, the deep ball didn't cost them much more yardage than a punt, but if he had completed it, it would have been a first down andat least 3 more points. At the very least an INC rather than a pick would have given them a chance to pin the Gnats inside the 1o.
Let me rephrase that. At the time of Manning's second pick, the Giants weren't in a position where they absolutely had to heave it way downfield, particularly to a man in the middle of the field who wasn't even open. Manning should have thrown short or thrown it away. Some of the blame here should undoubtedly go to whoever called that play, but Eli blew it.
Regarding McNabb's first pick, it probably wasn't Donovan who had the presence of mind to know that a pick was OK in that situation. Rather, Reid probably called that play with that in mind. (This is pretty typical of Andy Reid -- call a bomb on 3rd down, when the defense is concentrating on the line to gain.) Either way, it doesn't reflect particularly poorly on McNabb, since at most it cost them ~10 yards of field position.
Just like there's no way Brian Westbrook could be situationally aware enough to take a knee just outside the endzone so that the Eagles could run out the clock instead of risking a kickoff, right? Why wouldn't you think a QB with as much experience as McNabb could understand that an interception in that situation was at worse a neutral result and at best a hugely positive result? They were in that awkward area of the field where you can't go for the FG, but a punt doesn't really gain you all that much. So why not just heave it deep and either hope that your receive can come down with it or possibly draw a PI penalty.
And VOAf says that both the offenses and defenses played pretty much dead even. The only reason Manning comes out with slightly better DYAR numbers than McNabb is because Philly's defense is better than NY's. With as close as they are in DYAR, MaNabb's day was better from a YAR perspective. And at this point in the season, I always prefer to think of things in YAR. Judging a team's performance during the regular season against their competition makes sense because it allows you to compare teams with dissimilar schedules. The playoffs are more of a vacuum where opponent adjustment doesn't matter as much. Either you outplayed the other team or you didn't.
Yes, that was a very heady play by Westbrook. One of the headiest and "against the instinctive competitive nature of athletes" plays we've ever seen in the NFL. But I find it funny that now we're giving Donovan "The Game can End in a Tie?" McNabb that same credit.
The stats aren't lying. They aren't comparing McNabb to Manning. They're comparing McNabb, the Eagles pass protection, the Eagles wide receivers, to their equivalents.
DYAR doesn't (and can't) know that Curtis had an absolutely catchable ball doink off his helmet. It just knows that McNabb threw an incomplete. It also doesn't know that Eli had pretty decent pass protection whereas a good fraction of McNabb's throws were under duress.
McNabb had a better day, but that's because his surrounding cast struggled more. The output at the QB position was basically the same.
I understand that DVOA/DYAR cannot know all of the circumstantial things that make up the context of each play, but this is exactly why stats can lie, particularly when considering a relatively small sample like a single game. McNabb outplayed Manning (in my opinion), but the stats say otherwise. Thus, the stats lie (in my opinion).
Don't get me wrong, I in no way intend this as an indictment of DVOA/DYAR as a whole. They're just less useful for analysis of a single game than of a season.
I think the main problem people are having is that (just like me) at this point in the season people instinctively start thinking in terms of YAR/VOA instead of DYAR/DVOA. McNabb looked like he had the better day Sunday(and YAR would agree with that), but Manning was facing a defense that DVOA says is fairly better so his day was slightly more impressive (and DYAR agrees with that).
Good point, I wasn't thinking about the opponent adjustment.
However, I think if it were somehow possible to weight the assorted INTs according to the game context in which they were thrown that McNabb would come out ahead even in DYAR.
Sure, if you tweak the stats enough to get the result you're looking for, you'll eventually succeed. It's funny - Giants fans were making pretty much the same argument last year - when the stats weren't giving them enough credit (according to some). You can't go back and tweak the formulas to explain a few (seemingly) odd outcomes.
Look, all I'm saying is that the QB performance was very close in the game. Some here seem to think that idea is absurd, regardless of stats, anecdotal observation, or the fact that the first 28 minutes (where McNabb was completely ineffective) of the game actually do count and affect the outcome of the contest. I thought that during and immediately after the game, and was not surprised when the Outsiders' numbers backed that up. What I was afraid of is that postgame everyone would immediately default to "Bad Eli is back, Eli laid an egg, etc" - but if John Carney makes his FGs and the Giants manage the clock better at the end of the half, people might have been singing an entirely different tune even though nothing about Eli's performance would change.
To be fair, I never really believed there was a good Eli to begin with. So I really shouldn't be lumped into that crowd.
I think one reason people (myself included) might think that, contrary to the numbers, McNabb was clearly the better QB on Sunday was because the Giants got a whole helluva lot more pressure on McNabb (particularly in the first half). Eli was relatively unpressured. So it felt like while they both had about the same success, McNabb did it through more adversity. Plus, McNabb didn't have nearly as many poor throws as Manning had. He had the one spectacular throw to (iirc)Hixon, but it seemed like every time I looked up Eli was fluttering another one into what must have been hurricane force winds.
I wasn't lumping you in with that crowd - I was referring to fans/media as a whole. You made your feelings about Eli pretty clear in the Audibles thread, which I didn't feel deserved a response, and wasn't directed to me, so I ignored it.
The thing about Eli is there are going to be people who will never be willing to give the guy any credit, even if realistically he's just entering his prime, he's a year removed from a great playoff run and SB victory, he had a huge upswing in both conventional and Outsiders stats the following season, was the quarterback of the best offense in the NFL (with a top-10 passing game despite having exactly ONE receiver with on the team a positive DVOA) until his top wideout torpedoed his own season. And further, even after he has like an 18 game streak of playing quality to great football, that these critics are going to pop their heads out of the ground and say, "I told you so, he always sucked!" after every suspect performance. I'm accepting of the fact that those people will never be convinced.
Fact is, on balance, I believe McNabb is a better quarterback than Eli - although it's close and both are at times pretty underrated (McNabb more underrated than Eli, I think - he's still a damn good QB). He just wasn't measurably (or subjectively, to me) better on Sunday.
I can go with your explanation here. McNabb's first half was pretty bad, but I did feel that he made it up with quite a few 3rd down conversions. I imagine the sack/intentional grounding play in the endzone counts against him as well. This does go back to the Philip Rivers comeback against the Chiefs: Just because you came back does not erase all that you did before. I think people are taking umbrage with the fact that the QB who didn't comeback is still ranked higher.
As for what you said about Eli's worth, and speaking as someone who likes to see the younger Manning go down in flames, he has improved quite a bit. His third down completion percentage is probably much much higher than in any previous seasons, and I have seen him hit tough throws on 3rd and long. At times I was very impressed with him, and even considered voting him into the Pro Bowl but when you look at how the season ended though, he still has a ways to go. I understand that the loss of Plaxico Buress, and all the drama surrounding said loss, impacted his performance greatly (one only needs to look at McNabb's numbers without Westbrook to see how that hurts), but to go from being a good-very good QB, and sliding to a poor-sometimes good QB is quite a drop. Next year will be a major year in determining just how long of a career he will have. I think my biggest complaint is that people have begun referring to him as elite when he has yet to post a QB rating equivalent to his brother's lowest (excluding rookie season) QB rating. While QB rating is a very flawed stat, this was his first year over 80, and that says quite a bit about his performance.
Yeah, no question he hit a slump at the end of the season - although he still played pretty well in the Carolina and Minnesota (for the half he was in there) games. He had essentially 3 bad games - at Dallas and the two against Philly - both pretty tough defenses. Ultimately I think he's, as you suggested, a baseline "good" QB who will often look "very good" but he's not, and might never be, talented enough to succeed despite a poor receiving corps - which, honestly, the Plaxless Giants WRs were.
Honestly, you've pretty much summed up my opinion of the younger Manning perfectly. I probably go a little too critical in talking about him because subconsciously I'm trying to balance the people trying to tell me that he's an elite QB. When I said "I've never thought the good Eli existed" I should have said "I've never thought the elite Eli existed". I might even go as far as saying that he's a baseline "pretty good" QB. Is he a quality NFL starter? Absolutely. Is he good enough to win with? Obviously. But if you're ranking the QBs in the league, I'd probably put him in the 3rd tier, behind 2nd tier guys like McNabb and Brees.
And really, after being forced to live with myself after rooting for the stinking Giants last year, can you really blame me for trying to wash my soul clean with a little trash talking after that game?
No, Eagles fans have every right to beat their chests right now (and FWIW I secretly rooted for them when they played the Patriots in the SB, too), especially the ones who had to take all the grief about them being a terribly overrated team earlier in the season, when in reality they knew they were as good as anybody. It's definitely vindication.
Double Post
The question of whether McNabb outplayed Manning is really whether you believe Donovan's at fault for the dropped passes, safety, and two interceptions (relative to Manning's culpability for his mistakes). The output from the QB position was pretty much exactly the same. That's all that DYAR's saying.
The stats aren't lying. You're isolating McNabb/Manning from his offensive line and wide receiver performance, and the stats aren't. You're measuring two different things.
Just you. it's ordered by DYAR, not EYds...
Eli had 3 DYAR to McNabb's -6...
Maybe the Texans will sign him to play the role of Reggie Bush after passing on the real thing in the 2006 draft.
As a Texans fan, I would rather have Darren Sproles than Reggie Bush, and that was true even before his performance against Indianapolis.
Of course, it would also be true if "Darren Sproles" was the name of a one-legged sloth with asthma, so take it for what you will.
No need. Steve Slaton is considerably superior as a running back to Bush. Not to take anything away from Sproles, but Houston is right up there with Tennessee in terms of places that least need his services.
Maybe New Orleans will sign him, though, in order to get the "real thing".
The Sproles TD catch was in 'garbage time'.
The Chargers had punted with 3:30 on the clock in the fourth quarter, Leftwich was throwing to Sweet for the Steelers, and the backup defense was playing.
Garbage time- yes
Backup defense- maybe not. If I recall Sproles sprinted right passed Polumalu on his way to the endzone. Granted Troy probably had his mind on Joe Flacco and Todd Heap at the time.
Actually, I suspect at that time Polamalu et.al. were also thinking "don't get hurt, don't get hurt, don't get hurt."
Speaking of Polamalu, did anyone else think he had a relatively poor game? I recall one missed open-field tackle specifically, but more importantly, I didn't see him flying around the field and making plays like I usually do when I catch the Steelers on TV. Did he have a bad game? Or did the Chargers somehow scheme to limit his effectiveness?
Polamalu has had a lot of embarrassing whiffs this year. I think as a consistent player he is over-rated, more the home-run hitter type. Other than the first chargers game, nearly every highlight reel I saw involving him this season showed him trying to lay down a crushing hit and eating turf. I'm highly critical of his tackling style, which, instead of trying to make a clean, high-% tackle that might yield an additional yard or two in the process, he instead tries to take out his opponents knees with a torpedo hit.
Spot on.
I agree that he is not that good near the line of scrimmage.
Have to disagree with these two comments. Polamalu is often a very sure tackler, his unorthodox style notwithstanding. When he does miss, he can miss badly, which probably leads to this perception, but most of the time he's very good. He is also one of the best safeties near the line of scrimmage. There were plenty of two or three-yard runs against the Steelers this year that probably would have been 15 or 20-yard runs were it not for timely Polamalu tackles. He's a major reason why the Steelers don't allow long runs.
The rumor (excuse?) is that Polamalu had a cold.
Obviously you haven't watched ESPN or anything today. Polamalu injured his calf during the pregame warm ups. He was lucky to make it on to the field at all.
According to the Post-Gazette, Polamalu injured a calf in pre-game warmups.
Why would the Texans want the real or fake Reggie Bush when they have Steve Slaton? He was second in the AFC in yards from scrimmage. The Texans front office will spend those dollars on bringing back performers (Dunta Robinson, Owen Daniels) and shoring up the gaping holes in the defense.
1. Eli's first INT being so damaging is largely because of Asante Samuel's return. That's not attributable to QB performance. If, for example, Fred Robbins, who is a lot slower than Samuel, had returned McNabb's pass inside the Eagles 10, we would be looking at that INT a lot differently.
2. Tagging something as more or less damaging is largely circumstantial, and not really indicative of actual player performance. McNabb was more fortunate that his INT's didn't come in as "big a spot" as Eli's, but that doesn't mean he played better.
Both of Eli's INT's came on genuinely terrible throws. On the first, Smith was open, and Eli missed him badly high and behind, with Samuel waiting to pick the ball off and run it back. On the second, he threw into coverage and again overthrew, right to Mikell. McNabb's first interception was the result of a bad throw, an underthrow to a receiver who was well-covered, but as pointed out it wasn't that damaging. His second was the result of a tipped ball, which can't be considered 100% his fault. McNabb also made several huge throws to convert third downs; Manning was quite poor on third down. I don't know how anybody who watched that game could say that Eli played better than McNabb did.
I too am mystified by this. Even if you set the interceptions as equal, or even say that McNabb's were worse, the touchdown should negate that. I should also point out that while McNabb's performance in the first half was quite poor, his performance from the last drive before the half, to the final gun was as good as his play in Minnesota. I'm just kind of confused.
His play in the first half was really poor, though. That it was worth substantial negative DYAR doesn't surprise me.
DVOA and DYAR certainly aren't be-all, end-all measures of individual offensive performance. Johnson totally revitalized the Titans' offense and, at times, was the only weapon the offense had. The Bears had Hester, at least.
No one's saying Sproles should replace Slaton. I was saying that the Texans should sign Sproles to play WITH Slaton.
I certainly wouldn't complain about the Texans signing Sproles to play the Kevin Faulk role, but it's not like they have a glaring need for a THIRST back - Slaton's a very competent receiver.
I honestly think Forte had the best season of the rookie backs, and I don't think there's much room for debate: he had more total DYAR than Slaton (who in turn had more than Johnson) and he had a far worse supporting cast than either. He's also an excellent pass-blocker, which neither of the others can claim to be.
Had a few of those third downs Rivers converted come after SD's first TD and before the half, it might have been a game.
It says in the article that this may have been Jacobs last game as a Giant, could this be true? I thought it was Ward that was a Free Agent, not Jacobs.
They both are. Most of the talk I've seen though seems to indicate the Giants are going to re-sign Jacobs, and let Ward (who will also be seeking RB1 type money) walk.
Phillip Rivers is a very good QB, and I hope he gets a ring someday. But 150 of his 300 yards came in the 4th quarter down by 18 points. I don't think his DYAR is as good without that garbage-time stat padding. Same thing for Sproles 91 receiving yards, 62 of which came well after the game had been decided.
Two NFC teams were hit hardest by injuries last year. One already set the AGL record in 2016, while the other has a coach with the worst AGL since 2002. Also: the Rams' incredible bill of health in L.A., and Tampa Bay's questionable injury reporting.

Kk has anyone had this before? My Pod Farm was all glitching up so I uninstalled it and now am re-installing it but this is all I get. I dont remember this happening when I first installed it.. and with the Line 6 Monkey when I try to configure a device I can only select PODxt when I have a GX and whenever I try to sing into my Line 6 account through Line 6 Monkey it says to make sure I'm connected to the internet and that I may have pop-ups blocked or an anti virus software blocking it when I have none of that running.
Maybe my device just finally died? I've had it for about a year and haven't really done anything brutal to it.. Maybe cause I went with the cheaper version it just died sooner idk.
I'm on a mac if that helps
Help please?
I attached a photo of what Pod Farm is doing

This, by the way, is the secret of capitalism. The secret of capitalism is Mark 10:45. Jesus said "the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life for ransom".
The only way that you can succeed in capitalism is by serving people. If you don't identify some need that they have, and find some effective way to satisfy that need, you ain't going anywhere in capitalism.
That's the beauty of capitalism, it is built on the teaching of Jesus himself. The son of man did not come to be served, but to serve. That's where we get that whole idea of the customer is always right, and customer-oriented, and client oriented service. All that comes from Mark 10:45.

[A Muslim group in Germany is distributing free copies of the Koran. Their goal is "a Koran in every house".]
A spokesperson for the Berlin branch of the BfV [the German intelligence agency] told Die Welt that "the objective of this campaign is to help bring those who are interested into contact with the Salafist scene in order to influence them in the context of their extremist political ideologies."
Although not everyone who takes a Koran into their home will convert to Islam, German authorities say Abou-Nagie's Project "Read!" is a establishing a breeding ground for anti-constitutional ideas[...]
The head of the German Police Union (DPolG), Rainer Wendt, has told the Hamburg-based Bild newspaper that he is concerned about the presence of clandestine Islamic sleeper cells made up of Muslim immigrants and converts in Germany. He has called for the recruitment of undercover agents to infiltrate the Islamic environment. It is the "only way to monitor the scene," Wendt said.
"Radical Islamists live everywhere and nowhere in Germany. One cannot rule out that that nice young man from next door, who brings grandma her fresh bread every morning, is not in fact an Islamic sleeper and terrorist," Wendt warned.

An attempt to whip up anti-Islamic sentiment by the leader of the English Defence League has spectacularly backfired on Twitter on Monday.
On Sunday night, EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, tweeted a complaint about a picture of a "mosque" on the Twitter front page (it was actually the Taj Mahal), highlighting the image as another example of #creepingsharia.
However, rather than stoke far-right feeling, the Luton-based activist unintentionally started a comedy twitter trend.
Amid traffic about the start of Anders Breivik's trial in Oslo, the Twitterati hijacked the tag, with #creepingsharia being blamed for everything from "algebra on the curriculum" to "no ham left in the fridge".

OSLO, Norway — With a defiant closed-fist salute, a right-wing fanatic admitted Monday to a bomb-and-shooting massacre that killed 77 people in Norway but pleaded not guilty to criminal charges, saying he was acting in self-defense.
On the first day of his long-awaited trial, Anders Behring Breivik rejected the authority of the court as it sought to assign responsibility for the July 22 attacks that shocked Norway and jolted the image of terrorism in Europe.
Dressed in a dark suit and sporting a thin beard, Breivik smiled as a guard removed his handcuffs in the crowded court room. The 33-year-old then flashed his salute before shaking hands with prosecutors and court officials.
"I don't recognize Norwegian courts because you get your mandate from the Norwegian political parties who support multiculturalism," Breivik said in his first comments to the court.
Eight people were killed in Breivik's July 22 bombing of Oslo's government district and 69 others were slain in his shooting massacre at the left-leaning Labor Party's youth camp on Utoya island outside the capital. Breivik has said the attacks were necessary to protect Norway from being taken over by Muslims.
"I admit to the acts, but not criminal guilt," he told the court, insisting he had acted in self-defense.
The key issue to be resolved during the 10-week trial is the state of Breivik's mental health, which will decide whether he is sent to prison or into psychiatric care. Anxious to prove he is not insane, Brevik will call right-wing extremists and radical Islamists to testify during the trial, to show that others also share his view of clashing civilizations.
Norway's NRK television was broadcasting parts of the trial live but was not allowed to show Breivik's testimony.

Is it not apparent that the Bible Scriptures advocate discrimination, intolerance and the DEATH PENALTY concerning homosexuality? Then is not the Title of this writing true? If the very title made you angry, then this author must ask you the same question the Apostle Paul once asked: "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" Galatians 4:16 (KJV).
For those who hate the truth, anyone who proclaims it they will also hate and will consider such a one an enemy. They will accuse their enemy of HATE and INTOLERANCE when in fact, it is they who hate and cannot tolerate the truth. For such people no amount of reason, patience or love will make the truth palatable to them unless they first repent.
There are others who may not hate truth but are so far removed or confused concerning it, that when it's heard, it sounds RADICAL and EXTREME. Many in America's Judeo-Christian church world fall in this category. Because such people have been taught that being a radical or extremist is evil, they tend to reject any truth that, to them and their surroundings, seems radical or extreme.
Once this author spoke to a political science class at a University and was billed as a right wing extremist. So the question was asked of the students,
"How many Christians are there in the audience?"
About half the hands went up. Next it was asked,
"How many radicals, extremists or intolerant people are in the audience?"
and not one hand was raised. What a contradiction.
All the people who claimed to be followers of Jesus Christ also claimed not to be what He was. Frankly, He was willing to withstand public scorn and ridicule for truth (Matthew 27:40,41), offend people if necessary (Matthew 15:12) and even die for what He believed in. As for tolerance, he would not tolerate such people as the money changers and actually confronted them physically. (John 2:14,15) Obviously, He was a radical and an extremist to the virtuous, so-called Christian in the Jude-Christian churches, it all seems to unchristian.
The truth of the matter is, in one respect, homosexuals are far more virtuous than are the lukewarm, cowardly, goody two shoes, praise the Lord Judeo-Christians. Homosexuals are willing to:
* Promote their life style
* Endorse public scorn and rejection if necessary
* Rally to the aid of another homosexual
* Fight any who oppose their life style and
* As we shall see in this writing,
are willing to prescribe the death penalty to those who oppose them.
Unlike the modern day, lukewarm Judeo-Christian, they are radicals and extremists. To Jesus they are far more acceptable than the lukewarm Judeo-Christian. "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth." Revelation 3:15,16 (NASV)
This writing will be opposed as much by those who call themselves Christians as by homosexuals. They will try to reason or explain away these Bible verses that discriminate against and prescribe the death penalty for homosexuals. So in this writing, their futile objections and explanations will be answered.

In the submission, Lord Carey said the outward expression of traditional conservative Christian values has effectively been "banned" under a new "secular conformity of belief and conduct".
The former archbishop argued that in "case after case" British courts have failed to protect Christian values and urged European judges to correct the balance.
He said there was a "drive to remove Judeo-Christian values from the public square" and argued UK courts have "consistently applied equality law to discriminate against Christians" as they show a "crude" misunderstanding of the faith by treating some worshippers as "bigots".
In his submission, Lord Carey, who was archbishop from 1991 to 2002, wrote: "In a country where Christians can be sacked for manifesting their faith, are vilified by state bodies, are in fear of reprisal or even arrest for expressing their views on sexual ethics, something is very wrong.
"It affects the moral and ethical compass of the United Kingdom. Christians are excluded from many sectors of employment simply because of their beliefs; beliefs which are not contrary to the public good."
He added: "It is now Christians who are persecuted; often sought out and framed by homosexual activists.

Women are capable of love but there's a reason St. Paul tells wives to "fear" their husbands. Because women are just much more like children in their moral reasoning and in their emotional "resilience" (or capacity for cruelty). So for a woman to love a husband is much like a child's love for his parents. It is a love that is requires her to be in a dependent position. This is why marriage in a feminist society of independent and irreligious (I don't mean women without superstition, but women without fear of moral judgment) women, cannot work.

A conservative attorney disagrees with the findings of "Private Lives 2," a study of Australian homosexuals that suggests discrimination, not lifestyle, is the reason why homosexuals seek psychological counseling -- a conclusion similar to that reached by the American Psychological Association.
The online study was conducted by Malbourne's La Trobe University with the support of Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria, as well as the Victoria state government and the Australian national depression initiative. But Matt Barber, vice president of Liberty Counsel Action, tells OneNewsNow other research has repeatedly concluded that it is the lifestyle -- not discrimination or lack of societal "acceptance" -- that results in homosexuals seeking counseling.
He believes groups like the APA have lost credibility over the years by suggesting otherwise.
"The APA has really in large part simply become a political activist organization," Barber decides. "They are no longer objectively a scientific group that views things through an objective prism; but rather, they are pushing a political, sexual, anarchist agenda."
He says the APA is helping "to facilitate" those caught up in the lifestyle to continue a destructive, unhealthy, immoral and biologically wrong way of living and thinking. "So for the APA to help them rationalize these behaviors, it's really irresponsible of the American Psychological Association to do this," the attorney submits.

Gay people are growing. Not because they now have the freedom to assume themselves as gay but because of other aspects. We've actually reverted what is the basis of democracy: we've turned the minorities more powerful than the majorities. You see, all the politicians want, is to have votes. Thus, they give freedom of speech and freedom of sex. But what are the repercussions to the society?
Not to begin with the whole religious part of it and to mention all that has been said, it definitely corrupts the society. Usually, gay couples that adopt a child will almost force their adopted child to be gay as well. So, where is the freedom of choice here? A child is constantly given the opportunity to experience something that corrupts their mind with thoughts that most of the times are not real. Gay people say that we are all gay, it's just the society that has been telling us that is wrong. And to prove this, they use Freud's method (which btw, has been considered to not be valid for most of the psychological problems...). Where is ethics here? They are disturbing a person's mind.
Now look at this in a more small world. Imagine two best friends. Doesn't matter their sex. One thinks that he's having feelings for the other. As all of you must've experienced, when a person starts to like the other (in opposite sex) it always gives either the wrong way or they end up dating. Now, as the other one is not gay, what will happen is an obsession to turn the other one gay because gay people cannot accept the fact that others are not gay (AND if you actually analyse their attitude, gay people turn out to be the most aggressive despite the fact that they seem to be fragile at a first glance). For gay people, there is no such thing as friendship. Friendship is just a beginning to a relationship. This is another reason to a problem they have: Gay people cannot maintain a relationship stable because they are not capable of being with the same person forever (which does not happen in real marriage - if the marriage is properly held and husband and wife are committed). No matter what happens, they will not stay together if another gay comes. Gay people tend to have (and sorry for using the word) orgies. Hence, I ask, where is the concept of matrimony?? There is no such thing for them.

Has anyone ever seen an actual demon?
I have. No joke. Im certain probably all the born again Christians have as well. In the book of Ephesians it reads our battle is not with flesh but these evil spiritual powers. Born again Christians are their biggest targets because they are saved by the blood of the Lamb of God and know the truth and have authority over them. They are the only ones that can do damage to Satans Kingdom.
Im also certain if mess with the occult you probably them because you have opened up doors to them.
What do they look like? They are of the blackest black and darker than the darkest dark. They are like 3 dimensional shadow figures. I have seen them peaking around my door way which I initially thought was strange but it makes sense that they do things in secret and in the dark lest they expose themselves. They also have the most evil emanating from them that no words can describe the evilness. They are pure hate and darkness.
I noticed that singing worship music to my King and Lord Jesus Christ really repels them. They really hate it when praise goes to God.
Now the prideful person laughs that Satan and his minions actually exist. Guess what? Satan and his minions are laughing back right at you. To them that person is just another blind soul that will end up in hell.
But as much as Satan hates your guts Jesus Christ loves you more. Go to Him if you want everlasting life and life more abundantly.

The "hoofprints" of Satan were all over Wicca, and they were literally on me! As a High Priest, I did one ceremony invoking my "higher self" or Holy Guardian Angel. The being who man-ifested caused a candle in the temple to erupt violently. A little ball of fire or hot wax (I'll never know for sure which) shot across the room and hit me in the forearm, leaving a searing brand in the precise shape of a cloven hoof. By that time, I saw it as a great blessing!

Important Note!
We don't actually believe in a doomsday either.
Quote# 86992
They [atheists] do not believe that God or the Supreme Being is going to save you from Doomsday. What they believe instead is that you are going to face obliteration when the end of the world approaches. The reason why the Atheists are obsessed with the end of the world is that it will question the very existence of God.
Even if there is a God, is He that cruel so as to watch the entire human race being wiped from the surface of the Earth? Those having faith in God tell that God is merciful and forgives even the sinners if they ask for forgiveness. If God is that merciful will he attempt to rescue the humans from their awful fate? That is where the Atheists belief is getting stronger. It has been reported that dinosaurs that once roamed the surface of the Earth were destroyed once and for all when some asteroid came down crashing on Earth's surface some millions of years ago. At that time there was no one to save Earth from such a collision. This means even if such cataclysmic events take place in 2012 there will be no one to save mankind from destruction.
These ideas focus on the one theory of the atheists and i.e. the non existence of God. Here lies the victory for the atheists. Clearly they have the upper hand when it comes to questioning whether God is present. Instead of seeing the Heavenly interventions the atheists choose to look at the scientific researches, geological findings and other studies being conducted on the Earth's environment that may suggest the destruction of this planet.
This means if there is an end of the world in 2012 itself it will be the Atheists who would rather enjoy it, proclaiming that there was and is no God. That is why the atheists have a strong opinion and believe in the end of the world.

There is a Satanic Game being played now on the Internet called, "World of Warcraft". It is a Role Playing Game (Dungeons and Dragons on steroids!). It is so captivating and bewitching that Children and Teenagers are getting hooked. When this game is played, it will attach unclean spirits to you. The "game" is filled with Druids, Wizards, Dragons, sorcery, magic, etc
Any Parent, Pastor, or Teenager needs to immediately rid yourself of this game, and start praying over your Child and Teenager for God to remove the familiar spirits.
There are four Sodomite looking men who make up the Wiggles Group. This is a music group who is pattering their show to the "Monkeys" of the 1970s.
First of all, there is Rock n Roll Music in this show. Then they encourage children to gyrate their bodies like Harlots and effeminent sissies. Don't forget the symbol of the Rainbow (their clothing) which is used as a symbol of Lesbians now. How about Captain Feather Sword?? Is he a swashbuckler?? Well, parents, check out how he holds and runs with this "feather" sword. A swashbuckler would run with it either clutched to his chest or extended over his head to do battle. Not this pervert! He has a different insinuation in mind.
Parents, I strongly would encourage you to prayerfully consider how deceptive Satan is.

[From "The Truth about Harry Potter!!"]
It's just fantasy; witchcraft isn't real.
Wiccan (witchcraft) is a legally recognized religion by the IRS and the US military. (Yes, the schools and libraries are pushing a religion by promoting Potter!) A local Wiccan has said that the practices shown are consistent with real witchcraft. In an abcNews.com interview, a practicing witch said the Potter books would help "change the way people feel about [witches]." Witches themselves say there is indeed power in witchcraft - and God agrees with them! The power isn't in being able to have chairs fly across the room - the power is in what it does to your soul. The question is, what is the source of that power? God says Satan is the true source of that power.

My argument all along has been that the purpose of the First Amendment is to protect the free exercise of the Christian religion.
One evidence that [the Founding Fathers] were not dealing ... they weren't even intending to deal with non-Christian religions is what they did with Mormonism in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Mormonism - they call themselves by the name of Christ, but it is not an orthodox Christian network of churches, it just is not. Mormonism is not an orthodox Christian faith. It just is not. They have a different Gospel, they have a completely different definition of who Christ is and so forth, I mean, the list could be multiplied endlessly.
And it was very clear that the Founding Fathers did not intend to preserve automatically religious liberty for non-Christian faiths, so when Mormonism came along, they practiced polygamy, they believed in polygamy, just like Muslims do today.

The Lack of an Ancient Evolution story proves evolution isn't true
There are creation stories, flood stories, miracle stories and God stories that go way back in time, and passed down by oral tradition and then to ancient writings, however there is no evolution story. If evolution were true we should have at least some evolution stories passed down through the generations through oral tradition that our ancestors came from the trees and from an ape like creature.

Time is up for the 'fun-n-games' of non-scientific evolution, which includes the following;
*Old earth 'Plate Tectonics' or the whimsical idea of 'coasting-colliding' continents and the 'breakup of Pangea' all rooted in science and taught as "fact". Plate Tectonics is a pseudo-scientific fraud used as an 'excuse' to vainly try and prove an 'old earth'. This theory will be completely debunked with true science backed by the Scriptures. Earth is a geological mess and the foundations are out of place big-time (Ps. 18:15, 82:5) due to a massive series of titanic volcanic eruptions, or fountains of the great deep.
**"Dinosaurs died 65 million years ago...." No they didn't. True archeology and human history coupled with massive volcanism proves otherwise. The Jurassic fairytale is nothing but a cartoon-concocted lie 'supported' by models in museums, and Hollywood....
***The factless Copernican heliocentric universe which has zero proof, requires the Earth to perform orbital 'gymnastics' and the moon to shift into reverse orbit (this in itself is absolutely hilarious and rejects the very principal of observable science...), and has been taught as non-scientific dogma for over 400 years. The Bible and true science emphatically denies that the Earth 'rotates' daily on an 'axis' and 'orbits' around the sun yearly. The very opposite is Biblical and true and heliocentric voodoo is Satan's second grandest lie cast upon mankind (followed by "you really won't die" which duped Adam and Eve in the Garden...). Many won't be able to swallow just how deep this fraud extends, and the great extremes mankind has gone to promote this lie along with "astro-evolution". But it is all about to end as scheduled in Revelation, and fast so buckle up!
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" Genesis 1:1
"He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing." Job 26:7
"The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." Psalm 24:1
"Who (Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:" Colossians 1:15
Earth is not a "planet" (wanderer) nor does God call His Earth a "planet" in His Holy Word. Therefore should we???

Look, I made the point (maybe a little too subtle) that space exploration was all about the glorification of man, and certainly nothing to do with the glorification of God. Am still waiting for Morticia/ Paige to tell me how space exploration honors God.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Pretty hard to justify this wanton extravagance just for a selfish euphoric and fleeting feeling.. Wow, man walked on the moon.!
Yeah, so what? Think about it..
More pressing business on planet Earth… Pull your heads out of the clouds,, people.
And I say once again, we did not need space exploration to develop technologies.
Just think what could have been achieved for the good of mankind with all that wasted billions upon billions…

You're not replying to my emails or posting them any more so I have to assume that you are trying to ignore me. This is grossly unfair as you have not allowed me to complete the discussion and left me sounding like a jerk.
I am not at all saying that rape is okay or allowed. My point is that it's a topic like Hitler that people (atheists) always bring out in arguments for shock value when it really doesn't fit their point.
I admit that I have maybe a bias because I'm a man and frankly I have a hard time imagining that I'd be traumatized for life if a woman forced herself on me. Maybe it's really different for women but you have to admit that on the surface it doesn't make a lot of sense for something to be incredibly pleasurable if one person does it to you and horrible if another person does it to you. I admit I might be wrong but I still think it's probably overblown. There are a lot of worse things (like abortion).
In addition I'm not advocating that God only punishes people who rape Christian women or only protects Christians.
What my meaning is is that Christianity makes us strong and that a Christian can stand up to ANY kind of adversery better than a non-Christian because he has God's strength behind him. You also must remember that God never gives us more of a trial than we can handle. If you have been raped and feel traumatized by it take comfort that God has not abandoned you and that He knows you can get through this.
I'm praying for you all.

(Jesus Lazers prevented WWIII)
Dobson: The scripture says 'the shields of the earth belong to the Lord' and if He removes that shield there is just simply nothing to save us, James is that the essence of what you were getting at here?
Robison: Well it's interesting that you brought that verse up because I sat with Ronald Reagan and read that verse to him and had an Air Force general and an Army general at our side and I asked him, do you know what the shields of the earth are? And he said God. I said, do you happen to know what amplified light is, what laser is? He said, no I didn't understand exactly what it is, and I said well laser is amplified light and it's possible to take missiles down with amplified light, with laser, and the two generals stepped up and confirmed that. I said, sir, if you amplify the light with the principles that you say you believe and if you will seek wisdom, then you can protect us from a threat that has been totally committed to our destruction through nuclear assault.

Humans Are Devolving
"We are all mutants," proclaimed a headline on Science Daily. "First Direct Whole-Genome Measure of Human Mutation Predicts 60 New Mutations in Each of Us." The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute press release reported 60 new mutations per individual, received from parents – a "striking value" the article characterized the "unexpected findings". The genomes of children from two families were inspected in this first-ever test of generational mutation. "This fascinating result had not been anticipated, and it raises as many questions as it answers," the article exclaimed without offering an explanation of how evolution could deal with this high a mutational load. See also the 06/05/2011 entry, "Genetic Entropy Confirmed."
Note: the Sanger Institute is named after geneticist Fred Sanger, not (thank goodness) Margaret Sanger, the racist-eugenicist founder of Planned Parenthood. She had thought eliminating the unfit would be improve humanity. Would that Sanger, Hitler and other believers in eugenics had known what John Sanford revealed so clearly in his book Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome; all attempts to stop the tide of mutations are hopelessly ineffective. Not even extreme genocide of all the perceived unfit could stop the downward trend.
Even one or two mutations per generation is cause for alarm, let alone 60. John Sanford's book is must reading to realize two things: (1) Natural selection can never find enough beneficial mutations to overcome the flood of deleterious ones, most of which are nearly-neutral mistakes that accumulate, like typographic errors, to cause genetic deterioration. (2) Humans could not possibly have lived for millions of years at this rate of mutational degradation. This story only reinforces with empirical data a worry about the future of our species that has long been known by population geneticists. We are not evolving, despite improvements in medicine; we are all less fit than Neanderthals and ancient Romans. Unless the Lord intervenes, the human genome is doomed.

Secure your airports, airline tells Nunavut
Aircraft vandals inflict fourth attack on Canadian North
(updated April 10)
Canadian North wants the Government of Nunavut to step up security at its airports after one of its aircraft was vandalized in Pond Inlet last week – the fourth incident of its kind within the past year.
The Canadian North Dash-8 was parked overnight April 4, when someone broke the lock around the aircraft's passenger door and caused other damage to the plane's exterior.
It's not clear if the vandal made it into the plane, said Canadian North president Tracy Medve.
Medve said she wasn't aware of the full extent of the damage, which was to have been assessed after the Dash-8 was scheduled to land in Iqaluit April 6.
Medve remains more concerned about the vandalism trend at Pond Inlet's airport and easy access to aircraft that park overnight in the community.
In Canadian North's case, the airline parks an aircraft in Pond Inlet six nights a week.
"We've had other incidents in the community and that's the problem — you can easily access the airport's ramps," she told Nunatsiaq News.
In 2011, Medve said someone attempted to open the cargo door of a Canadian North aircraft parked in Pond Inlet, causing what Medve describes as "serious and extensive damage."
That incident cost the airline $250,000 for repairs and to charter another aircraft plane for scheduled passengers.
Pond Inlet's airport then experienced two more incidents later that year.
Canadian North has also seen one its planes vandalized in Igloolik recently, Medve said.
In Pond Inlet, Medve said the airline has asked for the community's help in dealing with the vandalism, since it's local residents who are most affected by disruptions to flight schedules.
"And the community has been very proactive — the mayor has called a meeting next week to discuss the issue," she said. "We're very happy with that, but the GN must also take responsibility."
Following the April 4 incident, police have arrested and charged 31-year-old Pond Inlet resident Ezekiel Mucktar with break and enter, mischief over $5,000 and breach of probation. Mucktar will appear in court in Iqaluit on May 8.
In the meantime, Canadian North has arranged to have its aircraft in Pond Inlet locked and guarded overnight while the airline considers its options, which could include changes to flight schedules.
But that was just what local Tununiq MLA Joe Enook was concerned about when he brought the issue up in the winter session of the Nunavut legislature.
Enook told the assembly Feb. 21 that Canadian North and First Air offer flights that depart from Pond Inlet in the morning to allow residents to get to Iqaluit in time to make connections to Ottawa and other destinations.
"The reason why this service is possible is because both airlines overnight their aircraft in Pond Inlet," he said.
"If this [vandalism] continues, there is a risk that airlines will no longer be able to overnight their aircraft in Pond Inlet, which will cause significant disruptions to flight schedules and severely inconvenience my constituents."
Later during the same session, Transportation Minister Peter Taptuna said the GN responded to an April 2011 vandalism incident in Pond Inlet.
The measures include better lighting on the airport's ramps, locking the ramp's access gate and meeting with the hamlet to discuss increased surveillance by local bylaw officers.
Taptuna said his department would also install camera security at the airport's terminal building and ramp area sometime in 2012.
But Taptuna characterized the incidents of aircraft vandalism in Nunavut as "very low."
"Nunavut airports do have that responsibility [to ensure security] to a certain degree," he told the assembly March 1.
"[But] to put high security fencing and cameras in the all the communities is just not feasible. It takes a lot of money and a lot of maintenance costs."

NAHRO Advocacy Awards
The NAHRO advocacy awards were created by NAHRO's Board of Governors to both recognize outstanding and innovative effort and achievement in the area of legislative advocacy and to publicize and promote further legislative advocacy among NAHRO members and organizations.
Representative Olver Named NAHRO's Legislator of the Year
Representative John Olver (D-MA) was named NAHRO's Legislator of the Year at this year's Legislative Conference. The award honors federal legislators for their efforts in support of responsible policies impacting the provision of safe and affordable housing in quality communities.
Olver represents the 1st Congressional district in Massachusetts,where he currently serves as the Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and related agencies. Since 2007, Olver has overseen the nation's transportation and housing budget while defending and improving housing programs that frequently stand on the chopping block of receiving budget allocation. Additionally, he provided funding for homeless veterans where there was none in more than ten years with the VASHprogram. The vouchers have particularly worked in tandem with other housing programs to help residents of central Massachusetts.
In his role overseeing HUD's budget, Olver was able reopen programs that help unemployed homeowners and those that received pay cuts to obtain emergency loans in order to prevent impending foreclosures. He also routinely voted against a version of the FY 2012 budget that would sacrifice jobs and decrease funding for housing initiatives like HOPE VI and the Community Development Block Grants.
"The [sic] budget is a balanced approach that will sustain our economic recovery, preserves programs for those [sic] who have been hardest by the downturn, and asks the wealthy to pay their share to bring down the deficit," Olver said.

"The waves we are studying are ordinary ocean waves, not seismically generated ones," Aster said.
(Related: "Mysterious Tremors' Strength Ebbs With Tides" [November 22, 2007].)
"We are basically using the long-term seismic record to see if Earth is getting systematically ['noisier'] due to changing ocean waves."
Though the signals are small, "we do see these trends of a few percent a decade that appear to be robust," Aster added.
The study appeared in the March/April edition of the journal Seismological Research Letters.
Seismic Noise
Paul Earle, a research geophysicist for the U.S. Geological Survey, was not associated with the study.
He said the research shows how microseisms can be used to study patterns in ocean-storm intensity.
"It is interesting that microseisms are more commonly called 'seismic noise' and early instruments were specifically designed to suppress and remove this signal," Earle said.
"This study highlights the importance of archiving and preserving continuous geophysical measurements—even if their use is currently unknown."

Ahh, yes, another entry with a one-word title! Amn't I good at it? What? No? *sigh* Even my trusty Imaginary Readers are cruel these days.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, right, I haven't even started. And robots won't be mentioned this time. What did I want to say? ...
From my last entry, I stopped crying and listening to sad music I've been doing better. Somewhat better, any way.
It would appear that my little journey to the dark side is like going down to explore a basement. You expect to find a dungeon with darkness and spider webs and floods and mould and moss and awesome and in stead you find yourself face to face with well-lit hallways. Empty, deserted white hallways. Always filled with cabinets and unused things. Alone. All alone. You find yourself alone and lost in there, with your steps echoing on the cement. You give up on your hope of finding awesome but by that time you're already lost in the maze of hallways. You ask out loud where the exit is. Nobody's there. You start talking out loud, partly because you want somebody to take you to an exit and partly because your echo is better than being all alone.
Still, just as in a basement, you find things few know about. Be them for the better or for the worse. In my case, I just had a very obvious fact I had been oblivious about reveal itself: my inferiority complex goes back a long way.
I've always been the sort of person that sees the best in people. I used to take pride in the fact that I could (before my anger issues, that is) find something to admire in every person. And even now, in the moments I'm not caught up in desiring random people die horrible deaths, I can see the best in anybody.
Still, by cultivating this manner of thought, there's no wonder I grew to admire everyone. And from that, there was only one step to feeling inferior to everybody. And I still am. I see people as smarter than me and just that, or more charismatic than me and just that and so on. I only see their qualities, ignoring the defects. Sure, this manner of thought does wonders when I talk to someone or try to lift their spirits, but it kills me.
I used to use envy as a driving force. (I think I even wrote an entry about this.) As I envied some people for certain qualities they possessed, I either focused harder in order to get to their level - in school, for example - or simply did nothing, as I knew I couldn't do anything about it - for qualities such as charisma or fashion sense. However, this constant envy of everyone, even if it made me better, it also made me doubt my place in the society. I know what I can do. However, I also know there are others who can do the same things better. And this is making me constantly doubt myself. For example, I always avoid using the term "fan", even if I love something and I possess above average informations about it because I can see people who know literally everything about said thing and go to great lengths to either support it or show off their love for it. And some place in my brain registers this as a quality and I subsequently admire them enough not to wish to bring down the term "fan". Sure, this drives me to learn more about the thing I love, but there's always someone who's more obsessed than me, and I can't keep up.
And even my admitted complex about my breasts stems from this (and other stuff, but I'll stick only to this aspect). Even when, after 4 years when my friends tried to convince me big boobs are great, I started feeling better about how I look, more and more doubts arose. I saw bigger boobs on a smaller waistline. Sure,I later found out it was the wonder of the bra, but it still made me feel my struggle was... useless. Sure, I'm not skinny, nor will I ever be (mainly because anorexia isn't among my favourite pastimes), but, hey, at least I had boobs as a consolation prize. Until, well, I realised that there are girls with bigger boobs than mine and skinny girls with push-ups. God, how I loathe push-ups! And, Hell, I did feel inferior. In a really messed up way. I mean, most skinny girls I know of literally eat little more than air and I'm all in favour of including anorexics among suicidals and leaving them rot alone in the desert. But I admire their figure. As for girls with bigger boobs, well, I can't bring myself to envy them because I know it hurts. Literally. In spite of all this, I feel inferior to them.
How the Hell did I end up on "boobs" again? sweatdrop

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Maryland's health care exchange is still not serving the people of Maryland. Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown is charged with overseeing the state's Affordable Health Care enrollment.
Political reporter Pat Warren reports he is taking the heat for its failures.
No matter how it's promoted or how you show it or if the speeches are stirring, there's no way around it.
"It's not working, except for the small numbers that we report every week," Brown said.
Brown, who is in charge of health reform, announced a list of fixes intended to get the website, marylandhealthconnection.gov, working for the thousands of uninsured Marylanders under the gun to meet Affordable Health Care deadlines.
"Everyone involved in standing up or setting up the exchange is responsible, and that includes me," Brown said.
Maryland has mirrored the glitches of the federal website since it went online Oct. 1.
"I know that on Oct. 1, I saw a real big mess and we've taken a number of steps since that time," he said.
Those steps include a new leadership team, additional staff and resources and settling a conflict between vendors.
Brown, who is running for governor, is being questioned about his leadership on the project.
"The focus is not on the politics; the focus is on getting it right for more Marylanders," he said.
The emergency now is to resuscitate a system that was pretty much dead on arrival.
The lieutenant governor says there will be a complete review of the project once the website is fully functioning.

Document of the month: April 2009
"Health, labour and productivity", World Health Day, 7 April 1969.
Tests on load lifting, England.
In spite of its shiny name ergonomics is not a modern invention. Its basic principles were first applied by the prehistoric genius who thought of the wheel. For hundreds of years it has been considered good management to oblige man to adapt to the difficulties of the job. Today the ergonomist seeks to adapt the job to human capacities, anatomical, physiological and psychological. Back ailments are one of the most common causes of absenteeism and illness among several categories of workers and an ergonomist would point out that this is often caused by lifting loads the wrong way.
