It's a year of huge cornerback contracts, with A.J. Bouye and Stephon Gilmore breaking the bank. But will these big-money contracts, and the big-time gambles associated with them, pay off?
11 Jul 2014
by Scott Kacsmar
We recently looked at catch radii for receivers such as Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown. It's one thing to catch a perfectly thrown pass, but how many times does a receiver catch a ball thrown above his head, or reach back with one hand on a pass thrown wide to finish a play? Those are some of the things we want to try quantifying with catch radius.
Today, we'll look at some more receivers through this lens, starting with the primary wide receivers from the record-setting 2013 Denver Broncos. Only two offenses in NFL history have had three wide receivers catch at least 10 touchdowns in the same season: 2004 Colts and 2013 Broncos. Peyton Manning pulled the trigger for both offenses, and he also threw 12 touchdowns to tight end Julius Thomas, but we're focused on wideouts for now. This season, Eric Decker will hope to post a high catch rate and DVOA with the Jets (snicker snicker) while Emmanuel Sanders comes to Mile High from Pittsburgh. His 2013 season has also been included.
The Broncos had the most productive receiving corps last year, but what about the guys who were the most efficient on a per-play basis? I looked at the top-five DVOA leaders and found unexpected names of breakout players in Kenny Stills (40.1%), Doug Baldwin (33.3%), Marvin Jones (32.4%) and Keenan Allen (28.2%). Eddie Royal (31.6%) was actually fourth, but Allen makes for a more interesting study. From that group we have two mid-round rookies who enjoyed stellar quarterback play from Drew Brees and Philip Rivers. Baldwin was an undrafted free agent sensation in 2011, and he exceeded that level on his way to a Super Bowl win with Seattle. Jones was only a fifth-round pick in 2012 by Cincinnati, and might be the answer to A.J. Green's search for a dynamic partner. Jones' numbers were so interesting that we had to include Green as well. Andy Dalton's agent may want us to kill this piece with fire, but up first are the Broncos.
We start with a 2013 receiving breakdown (regular season only) for Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Emmanuel Sanders. These four players each have a different playing style, and their average depth of reception (Dist) and number of screens or smoke passes sheds some light on that.
2013 Receptions Breakdown | ||||
Receiver | Height | Catches | Dist | Screens/Smoke |
Eric Decker | 6-3 | 87 | 10.5 | 8 (9.2%) |
Demaryius Thomas | 6-3 | 92 | 8.0 | 19 (20.7%) |
Emmanuel Sanders | 5-11 | 67 | 6.7 | 18 (26.9%) |
Wes Welker | 5-9 | 73 | 6.2 | 13 (17.8%) |
Decker played the role of big deep threat, which now may better suit second-round rookie Cody Latimer at 6-foot-3. Verticality really hasn't been Sanders' game, though he is fast. He's not going to be a perfect replacement for what the Broncos did with Decker, but he'll still fit the offense. Denver's known for screen passes because of the success, but Sanders actually had a higher rate of screens last year. He also had seven catches for no gain or negative yards last year -- that's four more than the combined total for Denver's trio. Better blocking and playcalling should help Sanders in that department.
So how did they catch the ball in 2013? All images are captured from NFL Game Rewind.

It's a little surprising to see Thomas didn't make any catches where he needed to dive to the ground, but his game is about running after the catch. His routes might be better than given credit for, but it's easy to see he's at his best with the ball in his hands. He led the league with 704 yards after the catch.
Decker's the first receiver I've studied who did not catch at least 60 percent of his passes at the chest-level, but we're talking about a one-play difference. It's also moot when he hauled in 10 over-the-shoulder catches (four in one game against the Chiefs alone). Much was made of Manning getting to play with big receivers like Decker and Thomas for the first time in his career. The size advantage has certainly helped offset the loss in arm strength, but Manning's anticipation has probably never been better. The ball usually finds its mark, no matter how ugly it may look.
Manning's accuracy in the first five games last season was uncanny. Traditional stats agree -- he was 150-of-198 passing (75.8 percent) with 20 touchdowns and one interception. More than just the completion rate, his ball placement was on the mark. For general comparison (acknowledging the following isn't always true), let's consider the chest the sweet spot, over-the-shoulder plays good throws, and designate anything caught above the neck, below the waist or wide a "bad throw," then look at the start Manning had with his wide receivers compared to the finish.
Peyton Manning - 2013 Accuracy Split | ||||||
Split | Receiver | Rec. | Chest | Pct. | "Bad Throw" | Pct. |
Weeks 1-5 | D.Thomas | 34 | 28 | 82.4% | 4 | 11.8% |
Weeks 6-17 | D.Thomas | 58 | 36 | 62.1% | 14 | 24.1% |
Weeks 1-5 | W.Welker | 31 | 25 | 80.6% | 5 | 16.1% |
Weeks 6-17 | W.Welker | 42 | 27 | 64.3% | 13 | 31.0% |

Weeks 6-17 | TOTAL | 158 | 96 | 60.8% | 44 | 27.8% |
While the Decker numbers remained closer, Manning finished with very similar results with Thomas and Welker in both splits. Not that I haven't been suspecting this since the beginning, but this suggests the quarterback does indeed take on the lion's share of responsibility for how accurate his passes find his target, no matter what type of receiver he's throwing to. The split was hardly opponent-based, since the Ravens (Week 1) and Giants (Week 2) were two of the best defenses Denver faced last year.
A significant event happened to Manning in Week 6 against Jacksonville: he suffered a high ankle sprain on his first play of the game. He suffered a second sprain in the same game, then went through his first major slump of the season for a few quarters in Indianapolis after Robert Mathis' strip-sack for a safety. Three weeks later in San Diego, Manning again aggravated the knee after taking a hit on his last pass of the game that momentarily kept him on the ground. By the time December started, Manning was closer to where he was at the beginning of the season, but his decreased accuracy during that six-game stretch was likely a result of the ankle problems.
By adding Sanders to the mix, the Broncos get a former slot receiver who played on the outside as Pittsburgh's No. 2 guy last year. This week Sanders commented that playing with Manning "feels like I just made it into wide receiver heaven." Their first meeting must have been like Uncle Ruckus' encounter with Ronald Reagan on The Boondocks. Sanders just had his best season in Pittsburgh. Watching (but not charting) his first few seasons, he looked like a smooth route runner who made a lot of routine catches, which should make for a good fit in Denver. But watching Sanders last year, he looked more like a financially burdened (but not poor) man's version of Antonio Brown. Ben Roethlisberger was not at his sharpest with Sanders in 2013, given the seven catches above the head and the six diving grabs. Those are both easily more than any Denver wide receiver, and Sanders had fewer catches overall.
A receiver under six foot like Brown, Sanders showed improved ability to attack the ball from all angles. His over-the-shoulder catches were quick throws down the sideline from Roethlisberger, which is a staple of a Manning-led offense. Sanders likely won't match Decker's deep-ball success, but he'll have opportunities he didn't always get in Pittsburgh.
With the talent in this offense, paying a cheaper price for Sanders and drafting Latimer certainly looks like a smarter move than re-signing Decker would have been. Keeping in mind Julius Thomas' growth, this offense will thrive on Demaryius' dominant ability after the catch and Welker's consistency. Since he was cast away from the Broncos' "Wide Receiver Heaven" and landed with the Jets, do we start calling Decker the Lucifer of the NFL? Then again, Tim Tebow once made the same fall…
We've seen the catch radii for a historic offense, but now what helps create a highly efficient season? Like with Denver, we begin with a 2013 receiving breakdown for Kenny Stills, Doug Baldwin, A.J. Green, Marvin Jones and Keenan Allen.
2013 Receptions Breakdown | ||||
Receiver | Height | Catches | Dist | Screens/Smoke |
Kenny Stills | 6-1 | 32 | 13.9 | 1 (3.1%) |
Doug Baldwin | 5-10 | 50 | 11.0 | 5 (10.0%) |
A.J. Green | 6-4 | 98 | 10.4 | 14 (14.3%) |
Marvin Jones | 6-1 | 51 | 9.6 | 8 (15.7%) |
Keenan Allen | 6-2 | 71 | 9.0 | 2 (2.8%) |
Not surprisingly, this group routinely made big plays down the field. Take away the Cincinnati receivers and the screen pass was rarely a factor for these receivers. Unless you have a Demaryius Thomas, screens rarely produce big plays. These guys dig the long ball, though we're going to find some very interesting results for just how accurate their quarterbacks were.

Does anything jump out here? Out of the 19 seasons I've studied so far, Green and Jones have the lowest chest-level rates, and they had the same quarterback. But before we get into what Andy Dalton did wrong, let's look at what the young receivers did right last year.
Stills was a productive receiver at Oklahoma, but somehow slipped to New Orleans in the fifth round last year. That's bad news for the NFL, because Sean Payton and Drew Brees had no problem getting him involved with big plays. Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem used to be that guy in New Orleans, but Stills might be more talented. He led the league by averaging 20.0 yards per reception. Some of the defensive coverage against him was flat out embarrassing (see 52-yard touchdown against Dallas) or nonexistent (see 76-yard touchdown against Tampa Bay), but he was very impressive for a rookie.
He only had 32 catches, but they weren't all just deep balls. He made a trio of diving grabs and his catch of the year was arguably this beauty thrown high above his head against Carolina.
So how did Stills lead the league in DVOA, or better yet, how did he rank 21st in DYAR with just 32 catches? Well, he outperformed some absurd baselines. Since 1998, only two receivers have caught multiple touchdowns on third or fourth down with 20-plus yards to go for a conversion. Randy Moss had two touchdowns on 17 targets, and Stills had two touchdowns on two targets last year. Both were third-and-20. There was the spectacular 34-yard touchdown in New England in the fourth quarter, then two weeks later against Buffalo, Brees again gave Stills a shot in the end zone and the rookie delivered, jumping off the ground for his lone chest-high catch of the season. Those help.
Baldwin only caught 50 passes on run-heavy Seattle last year, but his highlight reel would be longer than a lot of receivers with larger stats. I compiled a little collage of some of his receiving highlights. I prefer a video, but the NFL frowns on such creations.
When Russell Wilson scrambles, Baldwin's the guy he likes to target, and he can make some incredible catches on the sideline with the body control to complete the play. He high-points the ball, like the touchdown in coverage against Minnesota. He tracks the ball very well. Baldwin's rate of over-the-shoulder catches (12.0 percent) is the highest among the 19 seasons studied. He made a one-handed touchdown (thrown by Tarvaris Jackson) against Jacksonville. This is a legit No. 1 receiver in the making.
Baldwin is a great example of DVOA's value. Yeah, he probably wasn't the second-best or second-most valuable wide receiver in the league in 2013, but he played at an exceptionally high level when the Seahawks threw him the ball. That's supported by the play-by-play metrics, and he passes the eye test with flying colors. If Baldwin was on a team like Denver, he probably would have 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns, but Seattle hasn't needed that from its receivers. In the Super Bowl, Denver's all-star receiving cast struggled to create separation and gain yards after the catch against the league's best defense. Seattle's unheralded group made a few great individual plays and enjoyed the rout. Baldwin should get even more chances to shine in 2014 with Golden Tate's departure to Detroit.
Can you believe Allen was the 76th pick in the draft? Injury was the main reason for that fall, but some teams might want to reconsider the medical evaluation the next time a potential stud is the prospect. Allen got off to a slow start, but thanks to injuries to Malcolm Floyd and Danario Alexander, he soon earned a starting role and had a fantastic rookie season. He caught 68 percent of his targets, which is phenomenal work by Philip Rivers as well since Allen only had two screens.
On Allen's first catch of the season in Philadelphia you could see something special. Cary Williams held Allen enough for pass interference, but he still managed to catch the ball before it touched the ground.
Allen has the third-highest chest rate in the study with only Mike Wallace seasons above and below him in the top four, but he's not another Wallace. Allen could prove to be much better given the way he worked the intermediate routes like a seasoned pro as a rookie.
We'll conclude this week's catch radius study with the Bengals, but let's preface it by showing the summary of the 19 seasons studied so far.

If 50 percent is about the Mendoza line for where you want your quarterback hitting the receiver in his breadbasket, then Dalton has some explaining to do. Granted, along with Ryan Tannehill, Dalton ranks at the bottom of the quarterbacks in this study, which includes some of the best passers in the league. When we look at some lesser passers in the next study, we might find similar results to Cincinnati's 2013 season.
But in the eternal hunt for finding an appropriate answer to "does the quarterback make the receiver, or does the receiver make the quarterback" we may have stumbled into receiver-friendly territory with the Bengals.
Last year, Dalton was quarterback of the 12th offense in NFL history to produce two receivers with 10-plus touchdown catches in a season. (Manning is already on this list four times.) We knew about Green's greatness, but Jones stepped up as well with some help from a four-touchdown game against the Jets.
But after charting Jones' season, I wondered why his numbers were so different from everyone else's. His depth of reception was 9.6 yards, which isn't outrageously deep. He has pretty good size at 6-foot-1 and roughly 200 pounds, so it's not like he presents a little target. He had eight catches marked as chest-high. I had only marked 10 of those on the first 683 catches I studied.
There's a few of Jones' more difficult catches last year. Dalton was wide (the wrong direction being the problem) on a screen against Buffalo, but the receiver still turned around with ease and picked up 42 yards on the play. Jones did a great job to bring down a touchdown in Detroit, the home of Calvin Johnson. Jones pulled in a one-handed touchdown against the Ravens in Week 17 to cap off his fine regular season.
Maybe the numbers were just a small-sample fluke, but I didn't think his 18 catches as a rookie in 2012 would be of much help. That's when I decided to chart Green's 98-catch season last year. Green started 2013 with a 42-yard bomb caught over the shoulder, and thrown perfectly down the right sideline by Dalton. That's good. The two would connect on several plays like that during the season, and it's really the throw where Dalton looks his best with Green.
The problem was I didn't get through that Week 1 game against Chicago without being very underwhelmed by Dalton's accuracy. Just look at this ridiculous extension for a pass thrown wide by Dalton on third-and-10. Green picked up the first down with a 13-yard gain, completely bailing out his quarterback in the process.
Game after game, the inaccurate throws kept coming, and Green still ran his season total to 98 receptions in spite of Dalton. Even on plays where Green was wide open over the middle, Dalton was too high with the ball and limited YAC for his offense. Green's the tallest receiver I've studied at approximately 6-foot-4, so why in the world is he catching 37.8 percent of his passes above his neck when my research average is 19.4 percent? I have never preached my methods for this to be a perfect science, but I'll admit some of Dalton's "chest-level" passes were aimed closer to Green's throat, and he might have got the chest just out of my pity for him.
Through the process, I gained a lot more respect for Green, who just finished ninth on the NFL Network's Top 100 list, which may or may not be voted on by his peers. Ninth may make you scoff at first, but if his first two seasons with Dalton were anything like 2013 in terms of the degree of difficulty, then it's not that crazy. Just look at some of these catches.
Not featured: last season's only true Hail Mary completion in Baltimore after James Ihedigbo tipped the ball to Green to force overtime.
Now I think I know why Green heavily supports Dalton. Green just said this week "I don't want any other quarterback throwing me the ball." It's because he helps him create a freakishly great highlight reel with inaccurate throws, right? I wouldn't have ranked Green in my top five receivers the other day, but I think I will now.
I'm probably overreacting to 149 completions, which I said included many good throws by Dalton. But when offensive coordinator Hue Jackson recently proclaimed Dalton and Green as the best quarterback/receiver duo in the league right now, did he factor in the throws or was he just in awe of the catches the same way I am?
No one can say Dalton is afraid to give Green a chance to make him look good. Perhaps we would find better results for him if looking at 2011-12, but that would be missing the point. Dalton should have been better in his third season. If the Bengals win even one playoff game -- something they haven't done since the 1990 season -- this year, Dalton stands to become a very rich man in today's quarterback market. But if he doesn't improve and is relying on Green and Jones to make so many great catches, why should Cincinnati invest so much into him?
As this study has shown so far, highlight-reel catches are rare. When an offense starts relying on them, the quarterback's not making enough good reads and accurate throws. This exercise has brought great news for those interested in Green's ability, but there's a reason they call the NFL a passing league, and not a catching league. Caught or not, Dalton has to throw better passes in 2014. Roger Goodell hasn't added style points (yet).

I didn't realize Decker was the Bronco's main deep threat last year, or that he had such a huge catch radius. He might do better in NY than everyone thinks, since Geno is more accurate down the field (6th most accurate deep passer, according to PFF). I was surprised that Tannehill was as inaccurate as you showed in your last article.
Well, PFF has Geno only being accurate from 21-30; beyond 30 yards he's the second-least accurate passer. It's a small sample size, but 14.3% is still horrible.
I had this debate with a friend of mine. How bad does a rookie qb have to perform before expectations of him ever producing a good enough career dim completely? We cited obvious examples like Clausen and Gabbert. I know Geno improved later in the season, but in the 4 games I watched of him, I just thought he didn't look good at all and I personally have very low expectations of him.
How about this: rookie QBs since 2000 that have at least 200 attempts must have at least an ANY/A of 4.5 to have a chance (year cutoff added because ANY/A has been steadily going up)? Here are the rookies that missed that mark:
2.78 Andrew Walter
2.98 Jimmy Clausen
3.20 Kyle Orton
3.24 David Carr
3.56 Ken Dorsey
3.64 Matthew Stafford
3.65 Bruce Gradkowski
3.68 Blaine Gabbert
3.69 Josh Freeman
3.74 Chris Weinke
3.75 Kyle Boller
3.77 Chad Hutchinson
3.98 Joey Harrington
4.07 Mark Sanchez
4.17 Geno Smith
4.25 Christian Ponder
The one exception is Stafford, but he gets a pass for going to a 0-16 team that was truly devoid of talent. There's also Freeman, but he's a strange case, doing okayish for a few years after a horrible rookie season, then suddenly crashing and burning last year.
Orton has had a decent career too. He really seemed to grow under Josh McDaniels and I would put him down as a passable starter at least comparable to someone like Fitzpatrick.
I have to admit that I am biased because I'm a Jets fan, but I'm optimistic about Geno's chances at becoming a competent NFL quarterback. He could not put two consecutive games of positive DYAR together the entire year until the last month, when he put four of them together. I believe the Jets had the worst receiving core of the entire league last year. I feel like Geno turned a corner in the Raiders game, when he threw a pass up for grabs in the end zone, and Jeremy Kerley came down with it. After that point, he played much better, even against the Panthers, who are obviously the toughest defense he played last year.
Paradoxically, I am not optimistic for the Jets season. I expect their young and injury-prone secondary to be torched by the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, Matt Stafford, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady twice.
Lol, I actually have the Jets making the playoffs. The Ryan defense should actually be good this year, with Dee set to play better and prior being a major upgrade at safety. Ryan managed to post a pass dvoa that topped seattle last year with journeyman and revis. He should be able to do well again.
You are right about Geno having some pretty awful receivers. I didn't really watch him at all late in the season so I'll take your word for it that he's likely much improved.
How did they manage that, exactly? I didn't get a chance to watch many Jets games that year, but it looks like they were only slightly above-average at forcing turnovers, and like all of Ryan's teams, did not get a whole lot of sacks, and yet they were first at forcing punts and three-and-outs. Was it simply that the blitzes were very successful and QBs had to keep throwing the ball away?
I have honestly no idea. Many of those players would not remain on the team for very long either. Players like Coleman and Lowry, for example, would be gone in a year. This was also before Wilkerson. They even lost Jenkins early to a torn Achilles.
Per pff, Their entire pass defense seemed to be anchored by the ridiculous season Revis had, combined with Kerry Rhodes' awesomeness along with Jim Leonard and david harris coverage.
Beyond that, no real idea how they did it, only they did. That season alone convinced me that Rex Ryan deserves hall of fame consideration.
Glad to see the Doug Baldwin love. Everybody thinks Seattle's receivers are just worthless nobodies because they all rank lowly on the fantasy football charts due to not seeing a lot of catches. Not only does Seattle run a LOT, but Russell Wilson spreads the ball around a TON on a regular basis all season long.
Go look up how many different receivers caught passes in each Seattle game in 2013, then look up how many different receivers caught passes in each San Francisco game in 2013. The difference between Wilson and Kaepernick is laughable. People will eventually be forced to recognize that Wilson is underrated and already better than the vast majority of NFL fans think or realize. People need to stop relying on pinball number cumulative statistics in the NFL. If I eventually get a Ford Taurus going 130 miles per hour on the freeway, that doesn't make it a better or faster car than a Porsche 911 Turbo that I'm driving at 90 miles per hour.
If that's true...then why did Seattle throw the fewest passes of any team this year?
Because Seattle rarely needs to throw much between a great running game and an elite defense, and smart coaches start young QBs off slowly. Look at the first two years Brady spent in the league...Same thing. Patriots had a very good defense, nice running game, and they didn't have Brady throwing much or very far.
Carroll loves the run-first offense. He did it the two years in Seattle prior to drafting Wilson, too. Using that to make the claim that Wilson can't throw or whatever is just asinine. You want to see what Wilson can do, go watch the 4th quarter & overtime of the Seattle @ Chicago game from his rookie season in 2012, they let him off the leash at that point.
Taking a trip back to 2004-06 for a moment...
I'd compare Wilson's first two years to Roethlisberger in 2004-05. The Steelers were a dominant team in those seasons and usually had the game in hand in the second half. He didn't need to throw much, and when he did, he was successful. He later proved he could handle a bigger workload, and Wilson will have to do the same eventually. I see no reason not to be confident he'll do well.
And I would not compare Kaepernick and Wilson (or any quarterbacks) by how many receivers they get involved on a weekly basis. That was a classic argument Patriots fans tried using years ago for Tom Brady, and I didn't find any evidence that getting more receivers involved makes for a more successful offense. The Patriots themselves got much better offensively after utilizing more talented, but fewer weapons. Some teams try to formation people to death and sub in different guys, while some just line up with a base set most of the time and do their thing. One approach isn't better than the other.
Having said that, I see a lot in common with the 2012-13 Seattle receiving corps and the 2001-04 Patriots. Who does the defense expect to be the No. 1 guy? Who do they double team? The whole field is open. The receivers don't get as much respect because the team doesn't operate in a way that allows for big numbers, but individually when you watch these guys play, they are good. There's a play in SB 38 where David Givens catches a short pass and stiff arms the defender for more YAC. There are some really good, HOF-caliber receivers who just won't do that. Then with Seattle this year, look at some of those touchdown catches in the playoffs. Great stuff, even if the names are Kearse and Baldwin. That's the path I'm trying to get at here. Spotlight how the receiver is making his plays.
After watching 600+ catches this week alone, Green and Baldwin stood out most to me for the degree of difficulty with their catches. Demaryius was the most impressive after he caught the ball, but his delivery system was really solid. Kenny Stills probably took advantage of the worst coverage I've consistently seen to this point, though two of his biggest plays were in pretty good coverage in the end zone.
I'd really like to see the back of Manning's jersey changed to read "Delivery System".
I agree with you on pass distibution, but only to an extent. When 13 of a guy's 21 TD passes go to one guy, only two receivers have more than 300 yards, and your fourth leading receiver is your fullback, there might be some distribution problems. There were essentially three players to stop with San Francisco at the beginning of the year, Boldin, Davis, and Gore, and then the offense wouldn't really have anywhere to go.
See Perfundle, this is why I said I thought Wilson was overrated but poised to be very very good in the future. I think there are a fair number of Fo readers who probably already think he's better than Romo for example. His dvoa is high, but its akin to a slot receiver in limited duty posting the top receiving dvoa(like stokley did 2 years ago). Just because this team won the sb and posted one of top dvoas of all time doesn't mean its the qb that deserves the most or even much of the credit.
I have nothing against Wilson, but one doesn't have to look very hard to see his flaws in the passing game and much of these are completely covered up by the fact that the team does not need him to execute a highly efficient, team carrying passing game.
I wonder if he were switched with Romo, what might happen. Romo may have his famous flameouts, but those obscure many other stretches of excellence that are equally undone by an utterly pathetic defense and stupid coaching decisions. Is it just fair to assume Wilson would post the same dvoa with Dallas or with a (FAR)less than stellar overall team?
I've seen that game. I've also seen games he was borderline terrible in. I just don't see how he's FAR better than Kaep at this point, other than one being on a team that won the sb and and one who's team just barely lost it.
Who do you think you're going to convince with that? As someone who knows how good Baldwin was last year, what I got out of the article was:
1. Wilson needs to improve on his accuracy. Tate and Baldwin bailed him out on a lot of passes last year; as the article says, spectacular catches are usually inaccurate throws.
2. If Baldwin is so good at making these catches, is great on third downs, and is usually not being covered by the opposing team's best CB, he must have some other flaws in his game that led to him being the third receiver before Rice got hurt. There are many games in which he just disappears; he only totaled 7 catches in the divisional games in the regular season, for instance.
Without getting into a discussion of the relative value of Wilson vs. anyone else I thought I'd reply to your numbered points
1. Every QB in the league would be better if they improved their accuracy, and certainly Wilson isn't the most accurate QB in the league. However, Baldwin's catch radius numbers are very similar on a percentage basis to Kenny Stills in every category. Does Brees need to improve his accuracy too? Remember that bread basket throws aren't entire representative of accruacy, e.g. "over the shoulder" catches are often (but not always) difficult catches, but good throws (as the article author acknowledges).
2. Rice's catch radius is anecdotally also pretty incredible. The man is a very good receiver when healthy. However, there are games where Baldwin disappears. This can be said of all but a handful of receivers in the league, and it is more apt to happen when a passing game spread the ball around (for good or ill) and is low volume to start with. Despite this I feel like you are right in pointing out Baldwin propensity to disappear. It would be interesting to see if he does have a specific flaw (e.g. shut down by press coverage or something).
Well, we're comparing Baldwin to #1 receivers, and there's quite more than a handful that don't disappear to the extent that he does. Under the arbitrary criteria of how many games a receiver caught fewer than half of his per-game average of receptions, Baldwin had 6 such games, whereas Tate had 2 such games last year and 2 such games in 2012. And if you look at Carolina's receivers last year, who were in pretty much the same situation as Tate and Baldwin, Olsen had 2 such games and Smith had 1.
Decker's the first receiver I've studied who did not catch at least 60 percent of his passes at the chest-level... Much was made of Manning getting to play with big receivers like Decker and Thomas for the first time in his career...The ball usually finds its mark, no matter how ugly it may look.
Non sequiturs, much?
If Decker is a big target, it should be easier to hit him accurately in the chest area.
From this stat at least, we should conclude the Manning is missing his mark more than any QB you've studied.
But really, you need to chart the targets, too. We can't tell from just counting catches whether Decker has great catch radius, or just gets thrown fewer accurate passes.
Nat, you're cherrypicking to criticize Manning's accuracy. The other two Denver receivers are near the top of the tables in the percentage of catches at chest height. If Manning had an issue with accuracy, it would show up with the other two receivers. Decker's targets were deeper than the other two, which may account for the difference.
It seems to happen with every manning related post on this site.
No, I'm not cherry picking. And the point is not to criticize Manning's accuracy. It is to point out the flaws in this use of stats. In particular, it was to point out that the low stat and large size do not support the paragraph's conclusion at all. That's what makes it a non sequitur. The conclusion does not follow. That's what non sequitur means,
The real problem is that this stat sucks for this use. As Kacsmar concedes in a later response, comparing this stat to other receivers is useless unless you adjust for depth thrown, to the thrower's accuracy, etc.
In short, you have to figure out how many throws were on target before you can make good use of the number or percentage of catches were on target. And then you need to do the same for off target throws. Only then can you draw any meaningful conclusion about this "catch radius" skill.
"If Decker is a big target, it should be easier to hit him accurately in the chest area."
But compared to whom? His average catch is 2.5 yards deeper than Demaryius and more than 4 yards deeper than Welker, and that's purely vertical distance. Given Decker's often outside and Welker's in the slot, the ball has to travel a longer distance to get to Decker than any other Denver receiver. The longer the throw, the tougher it is to be accurate.
And you left out the part where I said it's a moot point since Decker had twice the average rate of over-the-shoulder catches. Those are usually very good throws (Tarvaris to Baldwin an exception here). Some of Andy Dalton's deep balls to Green were so underthrown that Green had to stop and wait for the ball, making it a chest-level catch when it really should have been over the shoulder. I probably should have mentioned that.
If you look at the last table, Decker was right around the average or below for EYE%, ATH% and DIVE%. He was just above average on WIDE%, but looking at my notes, one of those wide catches was a back-shoulder fade against Dallas. That throw's pretty much indefensible unless it's thrown to the wrong side.
I watched every game the Broncos played last year, and Decker was the go to guy whenever the defense was trying to play Bronco receivers tight. As a result he ran a lot of go routes that Manning tried to hit him either over the shoulder or back shoulder. I, and a lot of other Denver fans, were disgusted with Decker's ability to get separation at those times. Hopefully, Sanders will be more successful.
I watched all of Denver's games too. Decker to me was the kind of receiver that would be successful in a peyton led offense. He's not terrible, mind you, but seemingly average across the board at everything. His hands are meh, his separation skills are just OK(he actually gets a way with a lot of hand fighting). But he's not terrible and can make for a decent number 2.
The best coverage against Denver last year was played by NE (in Foxboro) and of course Seattle. Decker had 2 catches for 11 yards in those games combined. I knew after that SB there was no way he'd be back. I think he'll put up solid totals in NY and beat some bad defenses down the field, but I don't see him as a true No. 1 guy.
So glad to see more of this!
Keenan Allen brings up an interesting point so far. Originally Mike Wallace's high chest-% was used to show that he didn't have a large catch-radius. This time Keenan Allen also has a high chest-% but it is (correctly, for anyone who's watched him) said that he isn't like Wallace. In the future, if this becomes widely kept track of and we could look at all the WRs on a team & compare to team average (ie: we could rule out KA's high chest-% as being "bad" if Rivers was just super accurate and hitting all his guys in the numbers on a consistent basis (likely, since he was elite in accuracy-metrics this season and threw a lot of shorter routes with the receiver facing him, or coming across the field).
Going forward I'd love to see a comparison of either the top DYAR receivers or perhaps the top WR by "opinion" (Megatron, Julio, AJ, Dez, etc etc - the big names people always place near the top) - give fans some ammo to break some ties :D
I have a lot of the big-name guys planned for the finale, and then I'll be moving onto 2014 season stuff. Like to do more of these earlier in the offseason next year.
Scott I would love to see what your project spits out for Chicago's twin towers, especially Alshon Jeffery. Is there a spot where you can throw it to him and he doesn't catch it?
Jeffery and Marshall are two I'll be researching today.
I know it's a lot of work, but somebody PLEASE rank the QBs by Chest%.

Traditionally, if Prince William and Kate Middleton had a baby girl as their firstborn, she would be pushed aside in the line of succession in favor of any younger brothers. Now royalty has caught up with modern times, and female children are in the direct line of succession -- meaning that if Will and Kate have a girl first, she will be Queen!
The agreement to change the line of succession came after the 16 countries of the British realm agreed to the changes suggested by Prime Minister David Cameron, with the blessing of Queen Elizabeth.
In addition to changing the rules of succession, a rule barring anyone in line for the throne from marrying a Roman Catholic was abolished.
"The idea that a younger son should become monarch instead of an elder daughter simply because he is a man, or that a future monarch can marry someone of any faith except a Catholic; this way of thinking is at odds with the modern countries that we've all become," Cameron told reporters.
"Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen."
Queen Elizabeth presided over the agreement at a Commonwealth summit held in Perth, Australia. SheKnows reported that the change in the rules of succession was in the works earlier this month.
Kate Middleton converted from Catholicism to the Church of England prior to her April marriage. The 300-year-old rule was designed to protect a Protestant monarchy during a time of huge religious and political upheaval.
These changes will not affect the current generation of royals, so the Princess Royal -- Princess Anne -- remains tenth in line to the throne.

Just for clarity: I have an webapp that should work with or without SSL, so I need a way to map URIs to that webapp without regard of the virtual host it comes from.

If you declared host with [uri:*:443] Meaning any (virtual)hostname having port 443 then you have to specify the mapping for such host.

Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford | Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day | Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made | Five Bruins Prospects in 2017 World Junior Championship |
The Canadiens had their jet fueled and ready to go as they left the Bell Centre Tuesday, one of the few times they are grateful to be heading to Boston. With a 2-1 win in front of their roaring home crowd, the Habs forced a Game 7 at the TD Garden for Wednesday night.
These two teams have met 33 times in the playoffs. The Canadiens have won 24 of those times, and were ready for the challenge coming into this series-saver Tuesday night.
"We knew we were heading to Boston from the start of the game," said series' points leader Mike Cammalleri. "If you look at the game, the importance and the implications involved and out ability to do some things, it was one of our top efforts."
Both Canadiens goals came on the power play, each time having a two-man advantage over the Bruins. Cammalleri, who lead the 2010 playoffs with 13 goals in 19 games, scored in the first period with help from P.K. Subban and Tomas Plekanec.
Cammallerri got a piece of the puck again on an assist to Brian Gionta in the second period to put their team up for good, after going up again with a 5-3 advantage after a five-minute major boarding call on Milan Lucic was quickly followed by a delay of game called on Bergeron for knocking the puck over the glass.
Patrice Bergeron acknowledged their offensive issues, saying,
"Our power play is struggling lately… They won the game tonight because of their power play. We have to make sure we find a way and bear down. It all comes down to one game so you have to make sure you're ready and play desperate."
"Struggling" may be an understatement, Bergy. The Bruins, through six games in this series, have gone 0-19 on the power play, failing to capitalize on all four chances Tuesday.
This series has been defined by impressive goaltending on both teams, with Tim Thomas and Carey Price trading the titles of 'very good' and 'even better'. With 44 saves in the Game 5 double overtime thriller on Saturday, Thomas seemed to be on top.
But Price stole the clinch from the Bruins Tuesday, putting on an impressive performance with 31 saves and breaking his seven-game losing streak at home in the playoffs. Thomas, contrastingly, seemed uneasy in the net all night, beginning with a near goal early in the first period in which he completely lost sight of the puck as it sat open in front of the net. Gionta knocked it in just a second too late; the ref had whistled it dead.
That was just about all the luck the Bruins had in the game, as they amassed more than three times the penalty minutes of their rivals, with 27 in comparison to the Habs' eight. Many Boston fans found the officiating to be suspect, as time and time again the Bruins seemed to be on the wrong side of the whistle. But their ineffectiveness in the Canadiens' zone, particularly on the power play, cannot be ignored.
It's hard to imagine a team winning a seven-game series without one power play goal, but if the Bruins expect a win in Game 7, they may end up doing just that. Regular season scoring leader Lucic has been offensively non-existent, while trying to make up for it by playing more physically in Games 5 and 6. Although the second line of Brad Marchand, Mark Recchi and Bergeron has been the most offensively effective throughout the series, the latter two lack the quickness and the foremost lacks the finesse to be great power play performers.
Well okay, I'll give you the bad news first. The Bruins have not won a Game 7 since 1994.
The good news is that when they did win in 1994, it was against the Montreal Canadiens. So you can bet you'll see some good archived analog footage of that gem showing up all day to offer some mild hope.
Another thing: they have the better goaltender, and that's what should decide this game. Carey Price has performed admirably, and that's undeniable. But in crunch time, particularly in both overtime games, Thomas has edged his competition to come up on the winning side of the goalie battle. Just the eye test alone shows that Thomas' athletic saves and timely moments of brilliance are enough to give the Bruins a chance.
A little more good news: The Bruins get to bring this Game 7 back home to Boston. And yes, this has not been a series, nor a team, that has particularly thrived with the home ice advantage. But as the Celtics would be happy to tell them, there is something completely different about getting it for an all-or-nothing Game 7 against your greatest, most hated rival in the playoffs.
If the B's can't do something with that, they never stood a chance anyway.

Jewish World Review June 23, 2006 / 27 Sivan, 5766 Black-eyed Dan and the media's race for truth By Jack Kelly
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Dan Rather's 44-year relationship with CBS News came to an unceremonious end this week. This
should remind us that of the many differences between the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq, the
three most important are talk radio, Fox News, and the Internet.
Shaken by Tet, he planned to seek terms for a conditional surrender, the North Vietnamese
commander, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, wrote in his memoirs. But our news media's complete
misrepresentation of what had actually happened "convinced him America's resolve was weakening
and complete victory was within Hanoi's grasp," Mr. de Borchgrave said. Every weekday JewishWorldReview.com publishes what many in in the media and Washington consider "must-reading".

How not to skip 3rd gear
I have an InTune with the Hemifever tune. The truck stays in 4th gear longer instead of going to overdrive so quick. That part is great,however it still skips 3rd gear just like when it was stock. Can the tuner be used to make it stop skipping 3rd? It will hit third in tow/haul mode,but I don't want to drive it like that all the time. Also what does the part throttle upshift setting on the intune do?
When I had the Spartan + cam installed, my dyno tuner retuned my truck and modified the transmission shifting, holy crap, at wot it shifts really hard and no bog between gears, so I guess it's hitting 3rd. I used to have to use tow/haul mode to get it to shift like that, now it's "Holy Crap!" I asked him what he did, he just grinned. Normal driving, however is very smooth.
Easier with a 3G cause when going full WOT and hit third you can just manualy shift from D to 2nd and it will lock 3rd gear all the way to red line.
I asked Sean/Hemifever about this a few months back, he was not aware of the "Secret" 3rd gear and said he would look into it. Without me assuming anything I doubt it's possible but am hopeful. That would definitely make me take the plunge into a tuner and custom Hemifever tune.

PSV Eindhoven return to UEFA Champions League action against AS Monaco FC in the Philips stadium on Wednesday night hoping to improve on last season's showing in Europe's premier club competition.
Out to make amends
The Dutch title-holders finished bottom of their first group stage section last season, having never recovered from conceding a goal in the opening 20 seconds of their campaign against Arsenal FC. Now they are keen to make amends. "I hope that we can live up to expectations
," said PSV coach Guus Hiddink.
Brains required
"We all want to do that so badly, but then again it shouldn't be a complete obsession. We mustn't make the same mistakes we made last year. I want to see the team play passionately but without forgetting to use their brains."
Spying mission
Hiddink and his assistant, Erwin Koeman, were in attendance when Monaco beat FC Metz recently and another member of staff was on hand to observe the principality side's 1-1 draw against Lille OSC last weekend. "Monaco use the same tactics at home and away and always have four defenders at the back, " Hiddink observed. "Jérôme Rothen is great as a winger on the left and up front they usually play two forwards, last weekend Fernando Morientes was one of them. Monaco are one of the top clubs in France. The statistics show plenty of evidence for that."
Two-year absence
Visitors Monaco, returning to the Champions League after a two-year absence, need success in the tournament as much for financial as sporting reasons. Despite finishing second behind Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1 last season, the team from the sun-kissed Mediterranean coast only narrowly avoided relegation as a punishment for their large debts.
European pedigree
A good run in Europe would ease their monetary concerns but it will not be easy in a tough Group C that includes AEK Athens FC and RC Deportivo La Coruña as well as PSV, who have the finest European pedigree of all as the only former European champions in the section.
Quintet have experience
Ludovic Giuly, Edouard Cissé, Dado Pršo, Julien Rodriguez and on-loan striker Morientes are the only Monaco players with previous Champions League experience and Deschamps will use the same squad that drew 1-1 with LOSC, with no new injury fears to contend with.
Injury concerns
PSV have not been so fortunate, with Kasper Bøgelund and Johann Vogel both missing through injury. Ji-Sung Park also failed a late fitness test and is unavailable. Jürgen Colin looks set to come in for Bøgelund in defence with Remco van der Schaaf taking Vogel's place in the PSV midfield.

Here's the conversation...
"I've had such a rough day!"
"What happened?"
"Well, my tough week actually started on Monday, but that's a whole nother story..."
Let's just set the record straight. There is no such thing "a whole nother" story, at least not in the world of correct English grammar.
Think I'm crazy for bringing this up? Stop and listen for a few minutes and sooner or later, you're going to hear (or say), "...but that's a whole nother story." What's they've/you've done with this little phrase is actually splice the word "another" and stick the word "whole" right in there. "Another" is happy being all together; leave it alone! Instead, try saying, "...that's a whole other story" OR "that's another story" (without the 'whole').

After Friday's (Nov. 27) shocking news about Tiger Woods' early morning car crash, so much more has been revealed about what caused the accident.
Now the web is on fire about a heated argument prior to the crash between Tiger and wife Elin Nordergren regarding the rumors of an affair.
Then there's Rachel Uchitel, rumored to be the woman involved with the golf champ.
Suddenly, she's a household name. Or a household curiosity.
"Rachel Uchitel photos" has become one of the hottest searches on Google. Particularly the bikini shots. We dare you to find them. We couldn't.
]]>She has totally denied the Tiger affair rumors. "Completely untrue," she told the New York Post.

Travis Barker says that his wife�s unbridled ambition led to the breakup of their marriage.
The drummer of the band Blink 182 says that Shanna Moakler � the former Miss USA who appeared with him in an MTV reality show � is to blame, not the show.
�[MTV] doesn�t break up relationships,� Barker told Spin magazine. �What breaks up a relationship is when people are concerned with being some crazy celebrity. And my wife was.�
Meanwhile, Barker�s bandmate, Mark Hoppus, blames another member of Blink 182 for the demise of the popular band. Hoppus told the mag that Tom DeLonge didn�t want to travel � and insisted on recording all the music in his hometown of San Diego.
When the mag asked Hoppus if he had a message for DeLonge, he replied: �Your selfish nature is destroying everything that the three of us, our crew, and everyone else worked so hard to do. Name anyone else in the world who gets to travel, gets paid ridiculous amounts of money, brings their family anywhere, and then has two months off just to chill. And that�s not enough for you?�

Manicure Mondays-Essie Carousel Coral
I've had Essie Carousel Coral on my nails for the past week. It is the perfect coral for my skin tone! Unfortunately, the formula left a lot to be desired. It was streaky and I had to use 3 coats for opacity. I honestly don't know if it was user error or the actual polish itself. Either way, it's still a gorgeous color. It just screams summer to me! As usual, CND Stickey base coat and Diamond Dry top coat were used.

MAC Surf Baby-My Paradise Blush
The only thing I wanted from the MAC Surf Baby collection was the My Paradise blush. What can I say, I'm a blush whore! It was just too pretty to pass up. It is a super pigmented orangey coral with a gold hibiscus flower embossed on it. I mean, how can you not want that?! The gold is more than just an overspray. It won't actually come off with just a swipe of your brush. I think it adds a nice highlight. As expected, it sold out with in hours on MAC's website, so I stalked Nordstrom.com for it. I was able to get it and I love it! Check out the arm swatches:
Coral, Gold, Mixed |
It was $28 and you get 12 grams of product. That's twice the size of a regular MAC blush! Get it if you can!

MAC Blot Powder-'O How I Love Thee
It's no secret that I have oily skin. To combat my mid-day disco ball-ness, I purchased the much raved about MAC Blot Pressed Powder. It is a pressed powder that is supposed to absorb oil and keep the shine away. I purchased mine in medium dark. Although the powder appears to have a color to it, it shows up on the skin as translucent. It comes with a cosmetic puff, however, I use my Ecotools retractable kabuki to buff it into my skin. I can honestly say it works great for me and I wish I would have discovered it sooner.
It retails for $23 at MAC counters and maccosmetics.com. Have you tried this product? Do you like it?

Manicure Mondays-China Glaze White Cap
This week I have China Glaze's White Cap. It was released with their Spring 2011 nautical themed collection. When I first saw swatches online, I was instantly in love with its gorgeous golden shimmer. It is a sheer white with gold glass flecks in it that can flash also green. This color is so hard to capture in a photo, even with the new camera! So Frustrating! Since it is sheer, I put a white base of GNP french manicure white down first, then 2 coats of White Cap. I love it, especially when the sunlight hits it. It is sparkly goodness!

Manicure Mondays-10 Professional Moonlight
I've been wearing 10 Professional's Moonlight for the past week. It is a "greige" color, you know a beige and grey mixed together. It is a nice neutral color. This is a relatively new brand that is sold at CVS for about $4. I started seeing their displays last summer and finally broke down and picked up this color. The formula on this one was thick and a tad bit hard to work with but manageable. It needed 2 coats for opacity. This was with CND Stickey base coat and Diamond Dry top coat. I was pleasantly surprised how long this lasted. I applied this last Sunday and it didn't start chipping until Saturday. I am impressed with this line. I may have to try other colors from them! Have you tried this line?

Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Bronze Palette
It all started as a typical Saturday morning. I woke up, groomed myself, and ate breakfast. I check my phone and what do I have? An email alert from Sephora about some new products. I click the link to see this beautiful palette staring me in the face. Sold! I'm going to Sephora today and I must have this..STORY OF MY LIFE!
Well I'm glad I gave into my impulses. If you have not tried Tarina Tarantino eyeshadows, you must. I'd already had a single eyeshadow by her that really impressed me.
This palette consists of 8 full size shadows (!) and costs only $38. Considering that a single full size shadow goes for $20, this is quite a deal. The palette is made up of summery, albeit neutral colors with a pop of color in the turquoise shade.
Top Row |
Bottom Row |
They are highly pigmented and buttery smooth. And they blend like no other. There is no fall out, even with the shimmery dark brown shade. They come in various finishes of pearl, matte, and shimmer.
The packaging comes with a large mirror in a sturdy cardboard casing. The palette is rather large, but that is ok. The only drawback is that there are no shade names on the packaging. I had to rely on Sephora's website in order to get the shades.
Shade Names (From Sephora.com)
- Pearl
- Pearlized Nude - Shimmering Bronze
- Matte Brown
- Pearlized Pink
- Taupe
- Turquoise
- Shimmering Brown
Bottom line, if you don't get this palette, you should at least experience a Tarina Tarantino eyeshadow sometime in your life.
P.S. I got a new camera :-)

I Did A Photoshoot
I have a very talented friend who has a photography business called Lydia's Vizions and she was running an amazing special, so the Mr. and I took advantage. These are our photos...
If you are in the Houston area, pay a visit to http://www.lydiasvizions.com/. You won't regret it!
Manicure Mondays-OPI Parlez-Vous OPI?
OPI Parlez-Vous OPI is dusty violet from the France collection from Fall 2008. I really liked this color but I felt like it was a cameleon. In some lights it would be dusty lilac, in others lighting, it would be a darker violet. The formula was superb, needing only 2 coats for opacity. It wore for 4 days before chipping but would have lasted longer if it weren't for those pesky crawfish I just had to have :) I used my usual CND Stickey base coat and Diamond Dry top coat.

Fitness Update!
I am down 4.2 lbs and almost to my goal. I have been doing the Dukan Diet, which is a low carb, high protein diet. Check it out at http://www.dukandiet.com/ . I have incorporated my favorite workout, Zumba, with this diet and it is really working well. Our vacation is in a few weeks, so if I stay focused, I should be bikini ready by then! Hope you're having a great Saturday!

Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer Is My New BFF
UPDATE: Since the temperature has risen above 100 degrees, I have cut out putting the Neutrogena moisturizer on first. I now just apply the Laura Mercier directly to my face.
I don't have many BFF's in the world but I just found another one in Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer. I decided after having a super hot summer last year, that I was going to look for a tinted moisturizer. Lets face it, the summer is not nice to foundation. I wanted something light but would also even out my skin tone. I got a sample of a few and decided upon Laura Mercier's. I went with the oil-free version, as I have oily skin.
I settled on the color Caramel which actually matches nicely. I find that this product just blends right into my skin, leaving a nice satiny finish. I also like that it contains SPF 20, which is great for UV protection. I found that this actually gives really great coverage for a tinted moisturizer, similar to a light coverage foundation. It feels very light on the skin and doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything at all. I do layer this over my Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture because it acts like a primer and helps the tinted moisturizer blend better. I then set it with MAC Prep + Prime ttranslucent setting powder or MAC blot powder. I find both give me a nice flawless finish.
You can pick this up at Laura Mercier counters or Sephora (like I did). It retails for $42 but I had a 15% coupon that I took advantage of. Do you like tinted moisturizers?

Manicure Mondays-Barry M Berry Ice Cream
This week I have for you Barry M Berry Ice Cream. Barry M is a UK drug store brand and I received this and one other Barry M polish in a swap with Jennie of Beautybyjj. I love this color! It is a gorgeous lilac. The formula was outstanding and applied like butter. I only needed 2 coats for opacity. I used my usual CND Stickey base coat and Diamond Dry top coat and it lasted for 6 days. I really did not want to take this color off, it just screams Spring to me! You can order Barry M polishes from their website, but shipping costs to the US is a stinker. Jennie and I have plans to do more swaps, so I will definitely be asking for more shades from Barry M.

Who is thi? And what kind of a name is that?
- mompoet said...
Hi Dad, I am fine, I just thought that the sign that I saw on a table was pretty funny. I imagined good old "Un," not wanting anyone to use his table, so he put a sign on it claiming it as his own. Only Un (unlike many who err in the opposite direction) used one too few apostrophes. As for the lunch photo. Well, I think that was my all time record for plastic container use in one meal. And if you think I am weird, well, you know whose fault at least 50% of that is. sue
Mompoet wrote
"I imagined good old "Un," not wanting anyone to use his table, so he put a sign on it claiming it as his own".
I considered that possibility, but Un would have had to have omitted not only the apostrophe but also the space between the "s" and "table", so I rejected that interpretation because no one would make two mistakes that close together. Thus the table had to belong to "thi", who omits apostrophes but not spaces, and who is the new-age sort of person who refuses to capitalize his or her name ;-) . - 10:23 PM
- mompoet said...
Well, that's a whole different, and totally more logical explanation. Perhaps Un and thi are fighting over the table, which for thi, is and unstable table, but for Un is simply a table which belongs to Un.
ps Either way, we'd better not use it! - 8:33 AM

MANILA, Philippines – Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is pushing for a measure that would standardize the labeling requirements for toys and games of children to protect them from potential hazards to health and safety.
Arroyo filed House Bill 1221 or the "Toy Safety Labeling Act of 2010" co-authored with her son Camarines Sur Rep. Diosdado Arroyo seeking to provide the requirements for special labeling of consumer products.
The former president said the measure seeks to protect the interest of children and promote their general welfare as a state policy.
Arroyo said the state shall provide safety and quality standards for consumer products by requiring that a consumer product for children be marked with or accompanied by clear safety warnings or instructions.
"A law that would protect children against hazards and safety and the provision of adequate rights and means of redress is imperative," the younger Arroyo added.

choroba is correct. I managed to see the % in the SQL string and had a knee-jerk reaction. The problem is that you're trying to interpolate variables into SQL rather than using placeholders. Read up on placeholders in DBI and convert your code to use them. It'll simplify things for you, make your code more robust, and prevent odd SQL syntax problems. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Deep-sea ecosystems (at depths of >1000 m) comprise more than 60% of the Earth surface, and are the main reservoirs of global biodiversity. Climate changes are expected to induce significant modifications in biodiversity on the global scale, yet little is known on the impact of recent climate changes on the deep-sea biodiversity.
In the forthcoming issue of Ecology Letters, Danovaro, Dell'Anno and Pusceddu demonstrate that an extensive climate anomaly, which occurred in the Eastern Mediterranean, caused a significant deep-sea biodiversity change. These results indicate that temperature shifts of 0.05-0.1 °C in the deep sea are sufficient to induce significant changes in species richness and functional diversity.
They conclude that deep-sea fauna is highly vulnerable to environmental alteration, and that very minor temperature shifts in deep-water masses can rapidly and significantly alter both structural and functional deep-sea biodiversity. This study provides new elements towards a better understanding of the potential large-scale consequences of climate change.

Very few retailers do an adequate job of managing their furniture inventory.
When asked why they have a warehouse, retailers quickly respond that it is to have stock goods available for prompt delivery to customers and to accumulate special orders from various vendors until a complete delivery to a customer can be made. Our audits show that very few retailers do an adequate job managing their furniture inventory and even fewer manage their accessory inventory. In this article I will demonstrate some simple and proven techniques that can help your bottom line and increase your potential to sell. Future articles will focus on other techniques to improve the warehouse, but getting inventory under control is step number one.
On the average, the typical furniture retailer has 25 per cent of his inventory dollars tied up in goods that are slow moving to dead. Some are colors and patterns that were "sure things" when the rep showed them to you at Market two years ago. Others are cancellations of special orders, returns or other problems where no one remembers the cause. This merchandise hurts you in several ways.
Unless you have unlimited funds, cash tied up in dead stock prevents you from ordering products that will sell quickly and generate profits. All things considered, most people will agree on an inventory carrying cost of at least 3 per cent per month. That shouldn't come as a surprise. It's the interest cost, building rent, insurance, damage, utilities, wasted labor moving stock around, etc. Ultim-ately you will have to face up to moving the merchandise at any cost or dumping it at 15 to 20 cents on the dollar.
Whether you are satisfied with inventory turning three, six or more times, every warehouse has some dogs cluttering up the place. Do you really know the dogs that are sitting in your warehouse? You may have an inventory report that shows activity, but you have to use this feature to reap the benefits. I contend that anything that is moving slower than your goal has to be looked at very carefully. The first question should be whether the merchandise is displayed. Time and time again we see situations where the merchandise hasn't been put in the showroom. It proves the point that nothing gets sold unless it is displayed and/or advertised.
Who is responsible for monitoring and managing the slow moving inventory at your business? Unless someone is overseeing this business problem, it doesn't get done. Someone has to accept the challenge to be sure this merchandise is getting frequent attention and it is being marketed through all available channels.
Even the best buyers tend to forget about slow moving items, preferring to ignore their mistakes and concentrate on the fast moving lines and colors. That's all the more reason to delegate this responsibility.
In a clean warehouse the old stock may not be readily apparent. When taking inventory it is a good idea to put a small colored decal on each piece. They are readily available at office supply stores. Use a different colored sticker at each inventory. As you walk around the warehouse periodically after inventory, you can easily see stock having a decal or two or more which needs to be liquidated.
Customer cancellations and returns take extra attention to detail. When possible I like to keep them in one special aisle and also assign them a special report in the inventory system. It is too easy to cram customer cancellations and returns back into a corner.
There are bonuses in cleaning up your inventory. The first is that labor productivity improves with significant reductions in damaged goods. You will also be able to push more volume through your existing warehouse, thus postponing the day when you have to invest in more space.
Bottom line, it is a better management decision to progressively mark down products and make the cash available to buy goods that will sell at strong margins than to postpone the inevitable.
