April 2004 Lidar Point Data of Southern California Coastline: Dana Point to Point La Jolla
This data set contains lidar point data (Geodetic Coordinates) from a strip of Southern California coastline (including water, beach, cliffs, and top of cliffs) from Dana Point to La Jolla. The data set was created by combining data collected using an Optech Inc. Airborne Laser Terrain Mapper (ALTM) 1225 in combination with geodetic quality Global Positioning System (GPS) airborne and ground-based receivers. The Bureau of Economic Geology, the University of Texas at Austin owns and operates an ALTM 1225 system (serial number 99d118). The system was installed in a twin engine Partenavia P-68 (tail number N3832K) owned and operated by Aspen Helicopter, Inc. The lidar data set described by this document was collected on 2 April 2004 between 19:14 and 21:20 UTC. Julian Day 09304 (see Lineage, Source_Information, Source_Contribution for pass information). Conditions on 4 April were low clouds at 2500-3000 ft and lower over La Jolla. 99d118 instrument settings for these flights were; laser pulse rate: 25kHz, scanner rate: 26Hz, scan angle: +/- 20deg, beam divergence: narrow, altitude: 300-600m AGL, and ground speed: 95-120kts. Two GPS base stations were operating during each day of the survey, Point Loma and San Onofre on 08306 and Seal Beach and San Onofre on 08406 (see Lineage, Source_Information, Source_Contribution for coordinates). Data represented is all points including terrain, vegetation, and structures. This data also contains returns from the water surface. No processing has been done to remove returns from terrain, vegetation, structures or water surfaces.

Hard Rock Casinos released a study this week outlining the economic impact of its proposed casino in West Springfield. But one former local partner with the company is skeptical of the job numbers put forward in the study.
The impact study, conducted by a Los Angeles consulting firm, estimates that a Hard Rock Casino would contribute 12 million dollars in tax revenue to the state, and create 2,700 construction jobs and 3,500 permanent jobs in Hampden County. Mark Rivers is head of Bronson Companies, Hard Rock's development consultant. He says those job estimates include positions outside the gambling floor.
"So that includes all the jobs not only in the building, but the jobs that come associated with an operation like this, indirect jobs…food purveyors, service providers."
But Tony Cignoli, a political consultant and former local partner with Hard Rock, questions those numbers. He cites lower job estimates put out for MGM's Springfield proposal, just across the Connecticut river. And he says though Hard Rock hired an outside consultant to study economic impacts, hired consultants often bring back desired results, especially when an issue needs voter approval.
"You're certainly not going to find consultants that are going to go and bring out issues or problems that are not conducive to winning an election within an electorate."
Hard Rock is in the process of forging a host community agreement with West Springfield. An agreement has already been signed by Springfield officials and MGM, and it goes to a vote July 16th.

The Emery County Commissioners approved a $25,000 payment to Dynamic Feedback in the Sept. 16 commission meeting. In August of 2002, Keith Allred, a professor from the Harvard School of Law was hired to conduct a nationwide survey on whether or not a monument in the San Rafael Swell was a good idea. The survey also contained questions concerning wilderness and other public lands issues. This survey was not completed and the process came to a halt with the no vote by Emery County citizens. Dr. Allred also conducted several meetings with the various user groups in the Swell to gather input for his final report and the questions for the survey which was to be completed by January of 2003. This final report was never issued, but Dr. Allred is entitled to compensation for the work which he completed prior to the Nov. 2002 election. The amount in the contract for payment of his services was $97,000 which the State of Utah and the federal government, namely the Department of the Interior would share costs. The county was a partner in the fact finding mission on the feasibility of a monument, but not listed in the contract as a monetary contributor.
When the monument went through the referendum process and was put on the ballot in Nov. 2002, it was voted down by the Emery County voters. Where did this leave the process that was begun in August 2002 by the governor, county and the BLM? Everything seemed to come to a halt because to continue would be against the wishes of the Emery County voters. Now, in Sept. 2003, $25,000 will come from the Emery County coffers to aid in the payment of this obligation to Allred and his company Dynamic Feedback.
The commissioners said the state has been stuck with this bill for Dr. Allred and has sent a $50,000 payment and is requesting that Emery County help out with those expenses if possible. Commissioner Gary Kofford felt like if the county was going to heal anything with the state office that they should step up and contribute to this bill.
Clerk/Auditor Bruce Funk expressed reservations in the payment and stated that in the contract the state would provide the money for the county to pay for Dr. Allred's services. The matter was never addressed in a commission meeting or in a public meeting about contributing to this payment and originally the county was not going to put any money into it. With the vote against the monument, Clerk Funk seemed to feel Emery County citizens would not be in favor of such a payment.
The commission determined that for the sake of future relations with the state, that they should step up and pay for it.
Emery County is now the home to a new flight instructor, Rob Midgley, who is living in Orangeville and available for flight training. He is working to get things up and running as far as being fully insured and legal for operations. He will be advertising his services in the near future. He has been working with the continuing education department at CEU to lay the work for a ground school which will begin in January. He said they need eight students to begin this class. He said there are probably many pilots in the area who haven't flown for awhile and they hope to remedy that situation by making more planes available for rental at the Huntington Airport.
They are also looking for commercial ventures such as flying gas pipelines, electrical lines and aerial surveillance.
Commissioner Ira Hatch said they have firmed up the contract with Jones and Demille to prepare the airport improvement plan. A joint planning meeting will be held on Oct. 7, at 10 a.m. for anyone interested in having input to identify the present and future needs of the Huntington Airport. Commissioner Hatch also said he wanted the economic development council to take an active role in helping develop the airport plan to maximize economic development opportunities in the county.
The commissioners approved a request by County Assessor Kris Bell for the closing of the board of equalization. This means there will be no further changes to property taxes as the 45 day window for appeals and changes has closed.
The commission approved the appointment of Dixie Swasey, county recorder, to be the Veterans Affairs contact person to receive all information about Veteran services and opportunities. Swasey mentioned that Terry Scow from the Department of Veterans Affairs would be conducting workshops at the Utah Association of Counties meetings on the services available to Veterans and making sure Veterans know about the available programs.
A contract was approved for the maintenance of the Green River Library with the Thayn family. The contract includes a monthly amount for all cleaning, snow removal and lawn maintenance at the library.
Clerk Funk presented the check edit list, additional claims and requisitions to the commission for approval. Expenses discussed were: the water situation at the Green River Sheriff's Office, the bill is $400 for the month for water; a portable diagnostic kit for the road shop is being purchased and this will be used for CAT equipment and will save the road department money.
The commission approved a change in the Ferron branch librarian moving to Orangeville to become the assistant branch librarian and Colleen Murdoch becoming the branch librarian in Ferron. They also approved the hiring of Jana Lee Luke in a three quarter time position in the Clerk/Auditor's office. They reported there were 37-40 applicants for this position. A three step increase was approved for Brenda Dugmore in the Clerk/Auditor's office.
Pat Snowball, personnel director, had been advised at the previous commission meeting to do some research on a request by Lisa Johnson, widow of Jeremiah Johnson who was killed while on duty for the county as a deputy. Lisa Johnson had written a letter wondering why families of those who had lost their provider while on duty for the county were dropped from the health insurance and she requested the county reevaluate that policy. Snowball and Commissioner Hatch had checked into the request and the commission denied the request to continue health insurance coverage for Lisa Johnson and family.
Commissioner Kofford reported that the county had a booth in the state fair that was prepared by Linda Schade from the extension office. Commissioner Hatch reported on the wilderness public hearings that were held recently in Castle Dale, Green River, Huntington, Cleveland, Orangeville and Ferron. He said they had some good input from those attending. The commission has not yet met to discuss the findings of those meetings.
Work is beginning on the South Moore Cut-off road. Brown Brothers Construction has the contract on the project and the construction period is 150 days. This is a joint highway committee project and is being built with 93 percent federal funds and a 7 percent contribution by Special Service District #1. Commissioner Hatch also reported that he will be meeting with the joint highway committee to request the funds for Phase II of the project. You must be under contract before you can request additional funds for a project. The Moore Cut-off road will be completed in four-five phases with paving being the last phase.
Commissioner Sitterud reported that the wilderness meetings had been good informative meetings and the general consensus seemed to be to move forward to protect Emery County. He said that when UAC writes their bill that the county would come back with more public meetings to bring that information forward to the people.
Commissioner Hatch reported that there had been another confirmed horse with West Nile in Emery County.
The next commission meeting will be held on Oct. 7 at 4 p.m.

Skip to comments.Allstate to stop insuring new N.J. homeowners
Posted on 12/08/2006 6:17:12 AM PST by Hydroshock
NEW YORK - Allstate Corp., the largest publicly traded U.S. home and auto insurer, said Thursday it will stop writing new homeowner policies in New Jersey on Feb. 5, citing concern a hurricane might strike the state.
The state's second-largest home insurer after State Farm said the change will not affect 230,000 homeowners who already have policies with the company.
Allstate will no longer write new policies for owners of homes, condominiums, mobile homes and landlords. It said it will also not renew policies for about 300 commercial customers in eight coastal counties.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Ok freepers from NJ, what are the nature of the majority of claims that is causing this?
Katrina. Allstate is also pulling out of MS and LA. They are trying to raise rates through the roof in TX and FL.
In a free market, there would be a price at which it is viable for all state or any other insurer to sell their services. We have this problem in Florida too.
Of all the slimeball businesses out there, insurance companies are right up there with oil companies and legal firms.
Do they have a right not insure homes in New jersy - of course they do.
Does New Jersey have a right to retaliate against them? Of course it does. But it won't.
NExt to the New Jersey Education Association, the Cops Unions, the Construction Unions and the Trial Court Attorneys, the Insurnace companies are the highest contributors to the prostitutes who sit in that brothel called the New Jersey State Legislature.
The insurance companies are dropping anyone who might actually make a claim.
We (in other states) need to help them fight this. If they can cherry pick in NJ, the next step will probably be Florida and the Gulf States.
NJ doesn't get that many huricanes ... but boy are the Folks in Jersey gonna be ticked about this
travelers I believe is killing all business insurance in New Orleans next year. Nobody is getting renewed.
We get that all the time from more than just Allstate here in California,
My inlaws have had their house insurance cancelled twice in the last 5 years without filing a claim.
Companies keep splitting whenever there is a big loss here usually earthquakes. Welcome to what we've been working with for a long time.
Any recall of the last hurricane that hit New Jersey? I can't think of any, other than the storm coming up north after already hitting land. Just trying to think of a Hurricane that made landfall itself in NJ and my mind is drawing a blank.
I honestly think that in 5 years the only insurance you will be able to get within 100 miles is government sponsored insurance similar to the flood insurance policies that are out there now.
same with NY.
my agent said they wont cancel existing accounts.
after the 2005 season they must be hurting. It sounds like a reasonable business decision to me.
That may be coming. In fact I think it is.
Yeah, I looked at it, and at rough blush, about 17 people have been killed over the past 50 years from Hurricanes in NJ. Most of these storms hit other states first, and were tropical storms when hitting NJ.
NJ's risk seems really low considering.
I'm thinking Isbelle a few years back .. but don't quote me on that
All-but-one-State is now All-but-two-States. (They stopped writing insurance in the PRM years ago because of the regulatory climate.)
They are pulling out of LA and MS as well.
I read an article that Mexico is another place where people try to soak the system, so insurance companies won't write fire insurance policies there. That's why all Mexican houses are built with brick or cinderblock - no fire insurance. The article was in the San Diego Reader a few years back.
They may have been hurting after 2005 but I understand they reaped windfall profits after a relatively quiet 2006.
Cancel your policy, if you have one with them, or don't buy one from them, encourage others to do so, as well. It's a free (somewhat for now) country. Other than that there is nothing you can do, unless you want to go the statist route, and have the government dictate to them that they HAVE to offer insurance to new homes in high risk area.
They have the right to choose what business they want to offer, and a responsibility to thier share holders, in order to make a profit.
Inland Jersey floods in many areas from storms coming up from the south or over from the west and people keep rebuilding in places that get hit, like along the Wayne river. Coastal Jersey gets hit hard by nor'easters. It's not just hurricanes.
I think you are on to something. These decisions collectively will aid Hillary and her offer of government aid and more and bigger programs.
Its a business. We live in a capitalist free market system.
If that changes, let me know.
For life insurance. Property is another issue. Seems like Allstate's trying to hedge its bets against castastrophic payouts. They lost 3 billion last year. Made a billion back last quarter. Heaven knows how much they need to put away for their rainy-day fund. I kinda feel sorry for the insurance companies actually. People engage in high risk behavior. Are as litigious as heck. Expect other people to pay for their pleasures. Insurance companies exist to make money. Must be hard to do when 9 or 10 figure losses can occur in a few hours.
That's the kind of silly talk one would expect on DU. Insurance companies are in business to make a profit, no other reason. (As are almost all other businesses*.) They would be very glad to write policies if they could collect premiums that offset the risks. Most of the worst risk (Katrina or 9/11 like loses) are reinsured through collabratives likes Lloyds.
Clearly, All-but-some-States does not believe that regulators would allow them to charge premiums that would allow them to make a profit.
*There are exceptions, e.g., Air America.
The overwhelming majority of those in the insurance industry are honorable, and honest people.
If insurors are such "slimeballs", why aren't you self-insuring? What kind of person would continually funnel money to "slimeballs"?
It would be so nice, just for one day, to not hear how Americans are scum. You have made it clear that today will not be that day.
Allstate is worthless anyway. Homeowners will be better served with another insurer anyway. We plan to change insurers as soon as we move and never, ever insure with them again.
FREE National home insurance.
And Texas. They are not writing any "Windstorm" policies either.
Insurance is nothing but a racket. They are no better than the trial lawyers on the other end of the spectrum. Pay premiums up the wazzo for years and never file a claim. Then when you file one, they give the finger salute and raise your premiums to make you drop their policy or they give you notice they are cancelling your policy. Yet none of these big insurers are anywhere close to being in the red, nowhere close.
Not insuring high risk properties lowers rates for those who aren't high risk. It is as simple as that.
I agree they have a right to carry who they choose but the public has a right to change carriers. If they don't want the new owners, the other companies may follow suit. Saying well this doesn't affect me so I don't care, is just letting a foot in the door IMO. No, I don't want the government involved but they already are. We can't get flood insurance anywhere else. Is hurricane insurance next?
No matter where you live, you are a high risk for something and we all carry the load.
This is becomming SOP here in NJ! Prefered Mutual cancelled our Business Owners Policy two months after 9-11. We never, ever filed a claim. I guess owning a retail business in "rural" Sussex County, NJ is too much of a risk.
That's strange because I didn't think that acts of war were covered to begin with.
I quit Allstate after 30 years.
Their rates are outrageous.
I had one claim for a hail damaged roof and they kept trying to recoup those costs by rate increases.
I now have a new home twice the size of the last one at half the premium of the old one.
FOr insurance to work, the total you receive from them in claims has to be less than the total paid in in premiums.
Since almost any complete loss of a house will far exceed the amount paid in by the homeowner in their entire lives, it is clear that most everybody else should feel "ripped off" by their insurance. For example, if you are paying 1000 a year (I used to be less than half of that, and I don't think I'm that expensive yet), and you pay for your entire life, that's less than one hundred thousand dollars, and you'll collect a lot more than that if your house burns down.
I think I'm even ahead right now with my car insurance, having totalled a brand new car two years ago and getting the full retail price out of my company. I'm also even with my homeowners, having gotten money to repair hail damage a couple of years ago, it wasn't that much but as I said I haven't paid that much.
But if you think the insurance company is ripping you off, just don't buy insurance, or find another company. It would be EASY to do so, if the states weren't so over-regulating the industry which makes it hard for small companies to break into the business.
my take is that based upon passed experience with Allstate, they are looking for a rate hike and need to give their people in the legislature some reason to grant it.
Is New Jersey a "risk", or is it just that the government their has made it so hard to sell insurance for what it costs that it's not worth it?
There's a reason Allstate pulled out instead of just raising their rates. Usually it's because a state has ruled that all people in their state must get the same rates, and the company can't get people who live in areas NOT at risk to pay enough extra to cover the cost for those who live on the shore where there is a lot of extra risk.
I wonder if that's what happened in New Jersey.
May be a simplistic solution, but I'm in Florida and have thought for a long time, if they want to get out of the homeowner's market fine. But keep them from writing any other type of insurance in the state as well, like auto, etc.
Insurance companies cherry pick.
Our rates went up significantly in Florida due to hurricanes in the past few years. What if we don't have any hurricanes (as in last season) or minimal hurricanes for the next few years? Will the rates go down to reflect their savings....I don't think so!
My car insurance company pays out money if they have a good year, I've received checks from them in the past.
Our Business is located about and hour and a half from ground zero. Possibly it was just coincidence. Our new carrier charges us three times the amount of the original premium.
"The overwhelming majority of those in the insurance industry are honorable, and honest people."
You can say that about Muslims also. but the ones who are not can sure make up for the good ones.
My life insurance company is ripping me off. I pay and pay and pay and never get anything from them. :-)

After a series of deadly engagements, the Alliance fleet is severely damaged and its arsenal is running low. Forced to halt in the Baldur Star System to raid the Syndic mines for raw materials, Geary is anxious to get moving again. But what should the fleet's next move be? The Syndics are starting to catch on to Geary's tactics, and as the Alliance ships jump from system to system, it's getting harder to keep one step ahead.
What's more, Geary has started to piece fragments of intelligence together into a highly disturbing picture: the Syndics have been keeping the existence of another potential player in the war a secret - and this unknown power may have the means to annihilate the human race.
BONUS AUDIO: Author Jack Campbell explains how his own background in the military shaped the Lost Fleet series.
Get Lost! Listen to the rest of the Lost Fleet series.
©2008 by John G. Hemry; (P) 2008 Audible, Inc.
"Jack Campbell has written the most believable space battles I've ever seen anywhere." (David Sherman, co-author of the Starfist series)
"The kind of hero Hornblower fans will love!" (William C. Dietz, national best-selling author of When All Seems Lost)
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"I love Capt. Geary! (or is it just the narrator?)"
STORY (military sci-fi) - Courageous is Book #3 in The Lost Fleet series. Capt. Geary, who escaped death and survived in an escape pod for 100 years, now finds himself caught in a perilous future where he must command an Alliance fleet in multiple deadly battles with the Syndics (another race of humans). This book continues the same threads as the first two books. Some of his crew worships him while others are nearly mutinous. His fleet is badly damaged, low on weapons and fuel, and cannot find a safe path back to the safety of Alliance space. The Syndics pop up everywhere and sometimes seem to know Geary's next move and be a step ahead of him. But how? There seems to be another alien entity "manipulating" things. Who or what are they? How do they get their information? Are they helping the Syndics or trying to send Geary a message? Very intriguing!
Anyway, I love everything about this book. The battles are ship-to-ship, not man-to-man, so there's no blood and guts. I love hearing Geary and his fleet captains discuss tactics and strategies for the next engagement with the Syndics. Even the battles themselves are interesting. The author has a Naval background, so the formations and movements of the fleet are described in detail and easy to visualize -- not to mention interesting and creative. Also, Geary becomes a bit more human in this book. He's still the renowned hero nicknamed Blackjack Geary, but he and Ambassador Rionne are having a romantic affair and their relationship becomes even more complicated.
PERFORMANCE - Christian Rummel does a great job. He does multiple accents and his voice is low and sexy, yet he still manages to do pretty good female voices. I must admit, however, his performance probably would have just received four stars if it weren't for the fact that I love his voice!!!!
OVERALL - This book is pretty "clean." There's no profanity and only minor references to sleeping together, having an affair, etc., with no actual sex scenes. I highly recommend this to adult sci-fi lovers, both male and female. It's mysterious, tense and the characters are very human. You should listen to the series in order, but each book can "stand alone." Due to the fact that the fleet is in the middle of a six-book journey back to Alliance space, the ending of this book is actually Geary preparing to face the Syndics yet again!
Long commutes have turned me into a dedicated Audible fan. Looking at my stats I can't believe I have 825 titles in my Library.
"Great Scifi!"
It's been a long while since I really got into a series until this one. Great space war action, believable characters and an engaging plot line. There's almost no part of this series that I don't like. Perhaps knowing that it will go on for several more volumes but this is a double edged sword as I don't want it to end and yet I want to see the climax.
Would like to know more about this universe that Hemry has created. How did the Syndic empire come to be, how did the alliance. Where is Earth in all this? Is this an alternate universe or this one, far in the future?
The reader, Christian Rummel is great. He does female voices very well and accents as well. Very believable. At first I thought only Scott Brick could do justice to this series but Rummel grows on you and you realize he is into this story and a very good actor. Cannot wait for the 4th in this series in June. I might have to buy the hardcover.
If you like hard science fiction in the great tradition then this series Worth every penny.
"Excellent Series - Great Narration"
The books (1-3) are quite good and have held my interest. I will be getting book four as soon as I can. However, I sometimes wish Black Jack would just get on with life as he is in the present and get over his past, and reputation.
The narrator is in a class by himself. The tone changes and accent changes between characters leave no doubt as to who has the dialog, and the whole story comes alive through his characterizations - well done!
I am an avid eclectic reader.
Christian Rummel did a good job narrating this story. Great space battle scenes and over all a good military Sci Fi. Black Jack and the lost fleet keep getting into impossible situation but do manage to get them selves out of it. A bit of repetition was getting a bit annoying but over all a good fast pace story. This story finished with a cliff hanger so can not wait for the next in the series.
"Good at start but drags on and on and on"
My only issue, and its a major one, is the author repeats things in all 4 books. This doesn't sound that bad at first but he repeats A LOT! He explains how the ship captains use a virtual conference room, the importance of the hypernet key, how Geary was found floating suspended for 100 years, and the list goes on. I like what one reviewer said "any reader who cannot look in the front of the book and see this is book 4 in a series of 5 deserves to be confused... the repeated content just makes the story more tiring and comes off as "filler" so the book meets a specific page count. "
Amen brother!
"A good review no spoilers"
I am very intrigued by this series, and the reader is very good. There are some problems though.
Each book in the series assumes the reader never read any of the preceding books. You often get descriptions of systems you already have had explained to you over, and over again. The sections dealing with his personal life is very interesting, but the continuing theme of hero worship puts a foreshadow on everything in the book. If he starts thinking about how he can't turn into Black Jack, that probably means he's going to stomp the Syndic fleet into a mud hole.
This book also has problems with the commander being too perfect. Its like the commander does everything you expect him to do. For this reason he doesn't have a human side to him, not really anyways. He's always minding his honor, and doing everything exactly the way it should be done. Its just not very realistic, and this is brought out by the irony that the main character keeps telling himself over and over he's not perfect. Even worse, when things do go wrong Black Jack can't be blamed for the failure. He's invincible and unfallable...
Now onto the good. The space battles are nicely done, if you've been loaded with a pretty good 3D graphics card from the womb they come out pretty handsomely. The fleet drama between the characters does wonders to make the plot very interesting and dynamic. You get to see them fail, and then disciplined which is gratifying for the reader. Anything involving Captain Falco is absolutely hilarious. This is only intensified because the reader makes him sound like quagmire from Family guy. I'm just waiting for a giggidy giggidy to be thrown in for good measure where I would lose control and risk a stroke.
Thats about it for night, i'll see the series through for sure. I just wish the author would of thought it out a little bit more. Some minor tweaks could have removed some of the more glaring inconsistencies.
Gadget Geek
"Great Series"
I haven't been this excited about a series of books since Clancy's first three books.
"Keeps you guessing"
Excellent series, has just the right amount of action and personal plots. The narrator does an excellent job on par with Scott Brick. It would be nice to see a little more background information on the two warring factions. Recomend for all ages.
"Author destroys what could have been a great book"
I think the author is intent on destroying the whole series with his tiresomely overdone, repetitive, repetitive (did I mention repetitive?) device of the Co-President being paranoid about Geary being or becoming the Black Jack of legend. I had hoped that after overdoing it monumentally in the second book he might give it a rest in this third, but no. This is really the worst of anything overdone I've ever run across in any published work.
"More of the same."
I feel like this third book in the series basically repeated the first and second books so much that the author was treating me like a dumb ass. He'd rehash the same concepts over and over.
These Lost Fleet books really, really annoy me.
They annoy me because the protagonist is wearing Mary Sue's favorite earrings.
They annoy me because the author spells everything out very, very very clearly. So clearly it feels like I'm being bashed over the head with clearly. I'd describe the writing as 'military' - point this end toward enemy. Yes, I know.
They annoy me because of the plodding repetition including but not limited to:
-IT'S BLACKJACK! The Famous Hero! Break out the bunting!
-the physics of the solar system sized battlefield
-DON'T BE BLACKJACK! He can do anything he wants! That's a BAD THING(tm)
-the consequences of the self sustaining war of attrition in which the Alliance and the Syndics are engaged leads to the consequences of the self sustaining war of attrition leads to the...
-Oh ANCESTORS, WE NEED BLACKJACK!
-the physics of the solar system sized battlefield
-BLACKJACK! It's even a medical term now, y'know.
-the going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about honor
-those darn auxiliaries getting us in trouble again... but we NEED them dammit.
-and let's not forget the physics of that battlefield...
And they annoy me because:
- despite all of that, the actual fleet engagements (especially in this book) are tense enough to have me on the edge of my seat. And to be fair these rely entirely on a firm grasp of (yes, yes, you may have a point) the physics of the solar system sized battlefield.
- the honorable sacrifices are kept simple enough to have an impact
- the books are short enough that the repetition doesn't kill you
- intriguing hints of SPOILER :-p.
Yes, I'll be going on with sequel

Did You Know? Countdown to Yom Kippur (09/16)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Yom Kippur, the
Jewish Day of Atonement
Sept 16 : observed in 1 day
Did you know that Yom Kippur is a day of "NOT" doing?
There is no blowing of the Shofar and Jews may not eat or drink, as fasting is the rule. It is believed that to fast on Yom Kippur is to emulate the angels in heaven, who do not eat, drink, or wash.
Did you know that while Yom Kippur is devoted to fasting, the day before is devoted to eating?
According to the The Talmud the person "who eats on the ninth of Tishri (and fasts on the tenth) , it is as if he had fasted both the ninth and tenth." Prayer is also down played so that Jews can concentrate on eating and preparing for the fast.
Known in English as the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur falls on the tenth day of the Jewish month of Tishrei — just a week and a half after the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. The ten-day period between the High Holy Days is known as the Ten Days of Tshuva (Repentance), a time during which deep introspection and personal atonement is to take place.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Yom Kippur. Please join us!
Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Friday September 17, 2010.

Headshots April 4th

Headshots are a Canucks Army feature where we link to the day's freshest news, and other assorted Canucks web-goodies. If you've written a blogpost, produced a tribute video or birthed a clever .gif into existence - please e-mail Thom at email@example.com.
With Roberto Luongo getting the hook after 4 GA in yesterday's shootout win over the Ducks, we have once again rekindled the Goalie Debate. Jason Botchford weighs in and gives you some insight from a few of Luongo's teammates.
Cam Tucker from the Vancouver Sun discusses the curious case of David Booth, whose production has evaporated of late. He was even awarded a penalty shot early in yesterday's win but couldn't capitalize. Was Booth's response to being benched enough to shake him from his scoresheet slumber?
Our friends at Pass It To Bulis let us know that the Canucks' defensive depth chart is a hot mess right now. Yes, it sure is. And just two games before the playoffs start. Perfect.
GIF BREAK! From bieskler... here's a hypnotic GIF of the Canucks three shootout goals yesterday against Jonas Hiller.
Friend of the blog @GayCanuck wrote a piece on Monday about his indirect interactions with Cory Schneider during his After Hours segment. Cory prefers not to use the term Ginger. No big deal. But apparently, the mere thought of asking that question is incredibly offensive to some very, very real journalists.
A new post on the Canucks reddit page asks "New Canucks (and Hockey) Fan! What should I know?" This is good for a bunch of laughs, especially when the person who asks the question (a redditor named McLogan) summarized what he's learned so far.
And finally, our pals at Smug Nation let us know all about Tim Thomas, and his propensity for falling. Let's face it, after the clown show that he's put on this year, I find great happiness in watching Thomas fall down like an idiot.

Book Description HTML | Report this book
A glorious summer day turns into a nightmare for 27 office employees in downtown Toronto, Canada. Mushroom-like creatures descend into their office building through a wormhole in space, capture and transport them to a life of slavery on a faraway planet. Living conditions are spartan, their captors oppressive, their future bleak. Led by Monty Dore, senior manager of the kidnapped employees, they learn to cope with their new lives, and, despite setbacks, continually plot to escape either back to earth or within the planet. The odds against them are great but can a rift between the two species that make up their oppressors be used to their advantage? That is Monty's challenge.

Bills without 13 players as OTAs wrap up for week
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jun 5 2014 3:48PM
The second week of Organized Team Activities are complete at One Bills Drive, and the Buffalo Bills concluded practices without a baker's dozen of players to go through all the drills. Whether it was for various injuries or just absences from the voluntary workout, the Bills didn't have their full complement of players on the field to end the week.
Six of the 13 players not participating in practice were not in the team's facilities whatsoever. Defensive tackle Marcell Dareus, defensive end Manny Lawson, defensive tackle Alan Branch, guard Chris Williams, guard/center Doug Legursky and tight end Mike Caussin all were absent from Thursday's session.
Lawson and Branch are still missing in action throughout the offseason workouts, Dareus is keeping away following his latest run-in with the law, meanwhile the reasons for the absences of Williams, Legursky and Caussin have not been disclosed to the media.
The other seven were all in attendance, but could not do anything more than work to the side with trainers. That group consists of linebacker Kiko Alonso, running back Bryce Brown, wide receiver Marcus Easley, guard J.J. 'Unga, wide receiver Cordell Roberson, cornerback Darius Robinson and defensive end Bryan Johnson.
The only two new additions to that group are Roberson and Johnson. Brown got back to team drills on Wednesday, but returned to his work with the trainers on Thursday.
The Bills now have the next three days off before they get back to work for the final week of OTAs. The practice schedule extends from Monday, June 9 through Thursday, June 12.

A new poll shows Massachusetts residents continue to support the creation of casino gambling in the state. This despite several losses for casino companies in local referendums in West Springfield, East Boston and Palmer.
Tim Vercellotti leads the polling institute at Western New England University. He says polls over the last four years show little movement.
"The results of these referenda don't seem to be indicating some growing widespread awaking of opposition to casinos," Vercellotti says. "The data really seem to suggest [that] in some of these communities where the proposals have failed, it's been because people have decided the benefits do not outweigh the costs."
Sixty-one percent of those polled this month support establishing casinos in Massachusetts. Vercellotti says that's not great news for supporters of a proposed ballot question that would reverse the state's expanded gambling law.
Also of note: the poll shows more people support casinos in general than support having casinos in their own communities. That "not in my backyard" gap – a bit under 20 percent – has remained relatively constant through polls in 2009, 20010 and now 2013.

It's actually decent.
It's actually decent.
It's actually good imo. 20 chapters in and I'm more interested in it than the first 20 chapters of One piece or Bleach. It just needs more time to grow on us.
sig made by me
Tried this out by reading the latest chapter Chapter 24, probably shouldn't have started with that one, couldn't take the fact there were 8 double pages in a row of him putting his arms on seriously.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Some covers:
But it is a little annoying sometimes nonetheless xD.
I also went like 'urgh' in this chapter because of that tbh.
It took quite a while for this chapter to be translated and half of this chapter was that sequence...
But it does look like he may have found the robot he's looking for?

The first time I noticed it (besides thinking it was cool), I thought it was part of the joke of this manga. Manga authors love their double pages when they need to make something epic--So why not abuse the crap out of the system to show remedial movements and action that, at the end of 7 goddamn spread pages, could've been summed up in one (or one half, even).
I love this manga, if only because I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing sublime character art, where expressions are meticulously drawn and details about their bodies and attacks are lovingly inked and expertly shadowed, producing a series of images that draw you in and tell massive chunks of story through pictures alone...
......and then having it all supplanted by a crudely-drawn oval with maximum 4 different lines to represent his facial features, that was clearly drawn by some bored 8-year old or a mangaka who has completely given up on life! (See my avatar for perfectly comical example).
I mean, the discrepancy is so blatantly and intentionally bad that it often looks like the main character has been photoshopped into his own manga! 24 chapters in, and it is still horrifically hilariouis!!!
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
If I was reading the whole volume at once i would not mind those in the least...
It's only that I waited for this -next- chapter for quite a while now, and it made this chapter feel extremely short :I
-people lose hope
-genos puts his new arms on (looks frikking badass)
-sees a robot fly by
Read through the first 12 chapter, but got bored really easily. Its just that everyone (except the main character) takes themselves so seriously, but I know as soon as I see them they are all jokes. Really ruins the mood for me. Love the character design though.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
This was surprisingly good, I'd rather I'm looking forward for more.
After rereading this I have 1 complement and 1 complaint.
Complement - There wasn't an entire Arc about how Genos became a cyborg, he isn't the MC, I hate reading relevant back-flash chapters about a character who's not the MC, unless the back-flash somehow effect's the MC or current events - and even without a back-flash Arc, Genos's past was very well explained.
Complaint - I get that this artist is great (seriously) but man needs to chill with all the frame by frame action scenes on a comic that releases infrequently (I tried to look up it's release schedule, I found some things saying its in Shonen JUMP for the first few chapters but then it will be monthly, Unless this is a weekly comic (which it could be as good as it is) the creator needs to chill with that drawing style for EVERY fight)

This playground is named for the 17th century British governor of New York, Colonel Thomas Dongan (1634-1715).
Born in Castletown, Ireland, Colonel Dongan was dispatched by the Duke of York in 1683 to govern New York following the controversial tenure of Major Edmund Andros. Having previously served as military governor of Tangier, Dongan held an understanding of colonial administrations. Within months of his arrival, Dongan established the first representative assembly of the province, organized the colony into counties, and drafted the document that supplied the first civil framework for New York City, "Dongan's Charter."

NIST, ASM Intl. collaborate on data repository project
The NIST Material Measurement Laboratory and ASM Intl., through its Computational Materials Data Network, have formed a collaboration: the Structural Materials Data Demonstration Project. The project will establish a data repository focused on metallic structural materials. The data repository, housed in the Materials Data Laboratory of the Computational Materials Data Network, will support data for use at a number of length scales, including first principles and phase-based information, quantitative microstructural descriptions, process information, as well as property and materials performance data.
Open access to the data repository will provide the materials digital data community with a resource for data analytics and informatics, modeling, and simulation, and for educational purposes. In addition, it will provide the opportunity for the development of data input and output protocols, as well as explore data schema and ontology development for this class of materials.
A pilot data repository is currently being established, with more extensive development planned. Progressively increasing involvement of the materials community is envisioned as the data repository is developed through a series of working groups and community engagement activities.

Scale RulesCalculating Rules
In addition to length measurements, scale rules could be marked with aids for calculation. Perhaps the most notable rule of this type was Gunter's scale, which was similar to a sector or a slide rule. Gunter's scales are named after Edmund Gunter, a 17th-century English mathematical practitioner who figured out how to put a table of logarithms on a rule so that logarithmic calculations could be made with the aid of dividers. These instruments were especially handy for mathematicians and navigators.
The mathematics collections contain several other objects, ranging from the 18th to the 20th centuries, that were used to simplify computations for tasks including designing sundials, keeping track of calendar dates, and plotting data for aeronautical engineering. A few of these rules were designed specifically for positioning artillery.

Skip to comments.Black Death Bacterium Identified: Genetic Analysis of Medieval Plague Skeletons...
Posted on 09/03/2011 7:46:55 PM PDT by SunkenCiv
A team of German and Canadian scientists has shown that today's plague pathogen has been around at least 600 years.
The Black Death claimed the lives of one-third of Europeans in just five years from 1348 to 1353. Until recently, it was not certain whether the bacterium Yersinia pestis -- known to cause the plague today -- was responsible for that most deadly outbreak of disease ever. Now, the University of Tübingen's Institute of Scientific Archaeology and McMaster University in Canada have been able to confirm that Yersinia pestis was behind the great plague...
Previous genetic tests indicating that the bacterium was present in medieval samples had previously been dismissed as contaminated by modern DNA or the DNA of bacteria in the soil. Above all, there was doubt because the modern plague pathogen spreads much more slowly and is less deadly than the medieval plague -- even allowing for modern medicine.
The international team of researchers has for the first time been able to decode a circular genome important for explaining the virulence of Y. pestis. It is called pPCP1 plasmid and comprises about 10,000 positions in the bacterium's DNA. The sample was taken from skeletons from a London plague cemetery...
The researchers were also able to show that the plague DNA from the London cemetery was indeed medieval. To do that, they examined damage to the DNA which only occurs in old DNA -- therefore excluding the possibility of modern contamination.

This reminds me, I have to pick up some more kleenex.
Very interesting
Why is this a mystery? Besides the obvious sanitation and living condition differences, the folks that lived through had a genetic reason for living through it. Those that died genetically are much less represented today than they were back then.
I am still not sure from reading these articles if the plague might of been a very virulent strain or that genetic resistance in the survivors just increased over time.
On a related note, did you hear about the plague researcher at the University of Chicago who died from it a couple of years ago?
The prairie dogs all around me have it. ;-)
CDC urges lab workers to wear protective gear after 2009 fatality at Illinois university
In November and early December 1970, I spent 24 days in a military hospital in Vietnam after contracting bubonic plague from a batch of defective vaccine. When I was released I weighed 65 pounds less that the day I entered. Plague is a very painful hemoghagic disease. It took 10 days for the doctors to identify what I had. None had ever seen a case before.
Wow. Just wow.
You need to write up that story.
Lost 65 lbs.? How much did you weigh initially?
Thank God they finally figured out what it was!
Personally, I believe the first event was the rediscovery of the Justinian Code.
Very interesting........
Funny - I thought T.F. (terminal flatulence)was the cause of all those deaths ;o)
A certain percentage of Europeans are immune to it due to the Delta-32 mutation.
It also confers immunity to aids if the person has both copies, one from each parent.
If a person has only one copy, he is resistant to it, but not entirely immune.
Agreed. I'm not a scientist but I'm surprised that things like hygiene and exposure to many conditions unknown to most people today are not being considered. The diets back then were inferior in quality to today's, leading to a less than stellar immune system to begin with. Couple that with constant exposure to feces, fleas, and every other contagion out there.... it's probably a wonder more did not die! This disease was carried by a specific flea — feeding on specific rats...Given the lack of hygiene and regular exposure to rats and fleas for most people...not really a mystery that the disease, once contracted, would spread as rapidly as it did.
Thanatology ping!
Awww, thank you. How romantic (seriously).
Say what??? Can you explain this?
"T.F. - it's nothing to sniff at."
In the 4 corners area of the south west it is rampant. It surfaces periodically killing off some Navahos and other tribes. It does indeed reside in the Prairie dogs of the area, but goes dormant for years and then breaks out again. Fortunately for the tribes in that area the doctors are familiar with it and the symptoms and most of the time they can get to the patient in time and if so then the cure is swift and easy. However, the longer a person waits to be treated the harder it is to cure.
Thanks. I'll be watchful. It's been at higher elevations for a long time, too, but we take some precautions. ...not many fleas, if any, up here but probably other possible ways of transmission.
> Lost 65 lbs.? How much did you weigh initially?
I went from 180# to 115# in 24 days.
> contracting bubonic plague from a batch of defective vaccine.
> Say what??? Can you explain this?
Sure. I needed to have my immunizations brought up to date in order to go on R&R.
Plague was one of the shots.
The batch was bad and contained live plague.
God bless you, Jack! That alone could have been fatal. You must have a cast-iron constitution. May you have it all your life.
Interesting that the medieval diseases that caused such terror and panic are still extant, but for the most part, we are barely aware of them.
When hundreds of thousands die of plague, one person's infection is not news. But it is today.
"Plague Skeletons" would be a great name for a rock band.
(apologies to Dave Barry)
Small world too.

Hi Nisha, hope your out and about.
After Shabbat service, we went to go shopping. My husband needed a couple pair of dress pants as his new job has made him lose weight. There was even a dress that I bought from $70 to $17.49 plus tax!

Kerala sounds very beautiful to be called "God's own country"! How did it get that title?
The humidity makes it feel hotter than it is! I can only imagine what it must be like to have non-stop rains there. Where do you live?
I'm glad that you are doing well. I'm doing okay, too. It was hot yesterday and promises to be the same. It's not so much the heat as it is the humidity.
Good morning, Nisha! How are you today?

Highest Appreciating Horn Lake Neighborhoods Since 1990
With a population of 26,915, 9,225 total housing units (homes and apartments), and a median house value of $96,055, house prices in Horn Lake are solidly below the national average.
Single-family detached homes are the single most common housing type in Horn Lake, accounting for 79.24% of the city's housing units. Other types of housing that are prevalent in Horn Lake include large apartment complexes or high rise apartments (13.56%), row houses and other attached homes (3.54%), and a few duplexes, homes converted to apartments or other small apartment buildings (2.12%).
The most prevalent building size and type in Horn Lake are three and four bedroom dwellings, chiefly found in single-family detached homes. The city has a mixture of owners and renters, with 62.31% owning and 37.69% renting.
There is a lot of housing in Horn Lake built from 1970 to 1999 so parts of town may have that "Brady Bunch" look of homes popular in the '70s and early '80s, although some of these houses were built up through the early '90s as well. There is also a lot of housing in Horn Lake built between 2000 and later (22.20%). A lesser amount of the housing stock also hails from between 1940-1969 (7.92%). There's also some housing in Horn Lake built before 1939 (1.00%).
Appreciation rates for homes in Horn Lake have been tracking above average for the last ten years, according to NeighborhoodScout data. The cumulative appreciation rate over the ten years has been 8.79%, which ranks in the top 40% nationwide. This equates to an annual average Horn Lake house appreciation rate of 0.85%.
NeighborhoodScout's data show that during the latest twelve months, Horn Lake's appreciation rate, at 4.45%, has been at or slightly above the national average. In the latest quarter, Horn Lake's appreciation rate has been 0.74%, which annualizes to a rate of 3.01%.
Relative to Mississippi, our data show that Horn Lake's latest annual appreciation rate is higher than 70% of the other cities and towns in Mississippi.
One very important thing to keep in mind is that these are average appreciation rates for the city. Individual neighborhoods within Horn Lake differ in their investment potential, sometimes by a great deal. Fortunately, you can use NeighborhoodScout to pinpoint the exact neighborhoods in Horn Lake - or in any city or town - that have the best track record of real estate appreciation, by the latest quarter, the last year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, or even since 1990, to assist you in making the best Horn Lake real estate investment or home purchase decisions.

Emery High School, in a shortened week due to fall break, hosted the Canyon View Falcons in a non-region football contest last Wednesday night. Emery was victorious in the game by the score of 36-26. Senior running back Marco Mota, playing at less than full strength for the injury-riddled Spartans, sparked the team to win with a four-touchdown night after gaining 249 yards on the ground and another 10 through the air.
Mota, after the Falcons received the opening kick-off and fumbling the ball away five plays later at their 45-yard line, scored on Emery's first play of the night on a run going 55 yards. Mota then added the 2-point conversion. Marco went on to score on Emery's next two possessions and then ended the game by scoring on Emery's last possession.
A swing pass from quarterback Tai Justice for eight yards was the next touchdown followed by a two yard run on the next offensive series for another score. The final score also came on a 22 yard run.
Junior fullback Matt Mecham is continuing to improve at the position after converting midway through the season. Playing his best game of the season at this spot, Mecham carried the ball for 127 yards and scored the other Spartan touchdown. Mecham also had a pass reception good for 12 yards.
Canyon View, just a couple of weeks ago, defeated Delta by the score of 45-16. The Falcons had gone winless in their first six games of the season by often huge scores. This scenario had left the Spartans wondering just which team would show up in Castle Dale. Showing why high school football is unpredictable, on the same night as the Spartan-Falcon game, Delta upset Grantsville which didn't make a lot of sense, at least in my mind.
Emery scored twice in the first quarter and twice more in the second quarter to lead 28-14 at the half. Canyon View had strung together a 76-yard drive for their first score and a 70-yard drive for their second score. Two other first-half drives were thwarted by turnovers. Austin Allred recovered a fumble on the Falcons first series and Mecham intercepted a pass later in the half.
Emery received the kick-off to start the second half. On the first play of the drive, the pass in the flat was intercepted and returned for a Falcon touchdown. Emery later fumbled but Canyon View was able to do anything with their possession.
Mecham led the defensive effort with 12 tackles in addition to the interception. Zack West, Slayde Childs and Allred each had seven tackles in the game.
Emery will now close out the season by hosting their final region contest of the season this Friday night. The Carbon Dinos will be coming to town with game time being set for 7 p.m. Emery will honor their senior football players right before the game. Emery will then start the state playoff season the following week.

Many South Korean Children Have "Internet Addiction," Schools to Teach Dangers

About 160,000 South Korean children between the ages of five and nine years old are addicted to the Internet via smartphones, tablets or PCs
As technology progresses, more and more devices find their way into the hands of people both young and old. The problem is that today's younger generations are exposed to technology from an early age, and over time, are
becoming addicted to it
According to a new report from
Yahoo News
, children in South Korea are especially prone to internet addiction. The article introduced an 11-year-old South Korean girl by the name of Park Jung-in, who spends nearly every moment with her smartphone. This includes sleeping with it and taking it to school.
Why is South Korea being targeted specifically? Mainly because it's a technological haven, where 98 percent of households have broadband and about two-thirds have a smartphone.
This being the case, it's not uncommon for children to know how to play computer games or learn how to use mobile devices before they can even read or write. However, by the time they do read and write, they could already be addicted to this technology.
internet addiction
is not a recognized illness quite yet in most places, those in the medical and health professions are starting to say it's transforming from a social problem into a mental illness for many.
The National Information Society Agency (NIA) said 160,000 South Korean children between the ages of five and nine years old are addicted to the Internet via smartphones, tablets or PCs. There have been problems that range from forgetting to eat lunch at school to not participating in gym class because they're fixated on a mobile device. The article even mentions that addiction can start as early as age three.
To address this issue, South Korean children from ages three to five will be taught about the dangers of abusing digital devices and the Internet. The Ministry of Public Administration and Security will change the laws so that the dangers of Internet addiction is taught from pre-school to high school in South Korea.
Kindergarten teachers will start by teaching the positive things that can be done with mobile devices and the Internet, but from ages four to five and up, the dangers of overuse will be taught. Children will learn through new fairy tales where the protagonist becomes an Internet addict, and video games that have certain breaks where the kids are to play elsewhere before coming back.
China made Internet addiction an official disorder
in 2008, where it classified the addiction as someone who spends at least 6.13 hours online each day.

A series of recent departures has prompted changes in positions in the Academic and Student Affairs area at Shoreline Community College.
"We're saying good-bye to some wonderful people who have been a tremendous asset to the college and help to our students," Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs James Jansen said. "I'm sure we will find equally wonderful people to build on their efforts and we're working through those processes now."
The positions and changes include:
Dean of Students
Jansen has asked Yvonne Terrell-Powell and Kim Thompson to share the duties of the position held by Tonya Drake, who is moving to a position at Edmonds Community College titled Special Assistant to the President for Equity and Inclusion. Terrell-Powell , director of advising and counseling services, will continue in that role and add the student conduct and behavior portion of the new job. Thompson, director of the Office of Special Services, will assume oversight of the student leadership portion of the new position.
Dean of Humanities
With the current dean, Norma Goldstein, retiring, Jansen has appointed Kathie Hunt as interim dean. Hunt's instructional duties in the Visual Communications Technology Department will be reassigned during that period.
Institutional Data Specialist
Longtime employee Phyllis Harris took an opportunity to join the ctcLink project of the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. The statewide project will implement a single, centralized system of online student and administrative functions for all colleges. To carry Shoreline's work forward, Jansen is creating director- and assistant director-level positions for an area to be known as institutional assessment and data management. Those positions are anticipated to be open soon for applications.
Dean of Workforce Education
The process of filling the shoes of the retiring dean, David Cunningham, has been ongoing for several months; Jansen said he expects to know soon the outcome of the search.

Sterner received her bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from the University of Washington and Masters in Nursing from the University of Washington – Bothell. In 2008, she did graduate field work at Shoreline for her master's degree.
Sterner's nursing career includes positions With Swedish and Providence hospitals. She most recently worked in the neurointensive car unit at the Swedish Cherry Hill facility.

There is nothing more dangerous in team sports, then a team that refuses to quit, is united as one, and whose confidence is so high, they believe they can play with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Bring something new? I just watched 4 teams play, that had superior talent at TE compared to MIA. Not even the same zip code talent. Just because some here, believe TE is a major problem and are not happy with a part time offensive lineman trying to bust the seam. You try to move the discussion away from the bum. WR>TE....but TE is up there. If you got such a young QB, you surround him with talent. And TE is talentless right now. So please bring something new,other than the old BS, that you can not back up.
I broke down your original 'theory' on why Fasano disappeared again this season. You finally had to goto ridicule because you had nothing left. And this post goes to show, that you still have nothing to backup your opinion on Fasano. But hey, he had a career year, while disappearing for 6 weeks....again.
The fins are in great shape, but i believe that a TE is more essential because it opens up the middle of the field, if you don't want to overpay Wallace then get your young wide receiver in the draft in the 1st round.
Tannehill needs to run more
I simply could care less what Trent Dilfer says.
Let us see what Jeff Ireland does with all that cap money and draft picks. Then we can talk about the direction of the team.
Your right Flacco is above average but there are only a few top tier QB _ Brady / Manning / Brees / Rodgers - aftrer those guys everyone is either above average , average , or stink.
I don't know what team, Dilfer is watching, but I just don't see Tannehill becoming a good player. He doesn't have that swag like a Andrew Luck or a Russell Wilson, have. Tannehill just doesn't have the FIRE, like a Kapernick. You can have all the pieces in place and still have a garbage team, if you don't have that swag.
Let me tell you something, in this league, you can make a splash, only to find out that the rest of the NFL evolves with you. The run option will be stinked out just like the wildcat. Notice the 49ers didnt run the option with kaepernick much but handed it off to Gore. That is evolving already. They know teams will pick up on it. The element of surprise is over.
Plus, Seattle doesnt have to play NE twice a year. Yeah they beat them, but on their court and just barely. Swag is nothing but confidence. Tannehill does not lack confidence. In fact, what he lacks is a full deck of players to play with. He did the best with what he had to work with. Now he has one year under his belt with a big offseason coming. I dont think you will be positing much next year with this attitude IMO.
