Post subject: AFC South analysis
I'm trying to do analysis pages for all 8 divisions, heres my AFC South page. i've already completed AFC North and East pages. feedback would be appreciated
Indianopolis Colts
- 2004 season- 12-4, loss in divisional round
Head Coach: Tony Dungy
Can Air Peyton Fly Colts to Detroit?
The past two years, Tony Dungy has guided the Colts to a division title and a playoff rout of Denver (in 2003, an upset of KC as well), and both times the same thing ended Peyton Manning's quest for a ring: The New England Patriots. Last year Manning shattered Dan Marino's TD record and had one of the finest seasons ever by a QB. yet, when he went to snowy Foxboro to face the Patriots, who were missing their two starting cornerbacks, and were down to Asante Samuel and undrafted FA Randall Gay, he could only muster a lousy FG in a 20-3 loss. Is this the year Manning finally beats Brady. Or will we get another Sportscenter full of those head shots of a snowy, distraugh, puzzled Manning and the trademark Patriot victroy? For the Colts, its more about getting a better defense than the offense. On offense, the Colts are set as long as Edge returns. With Edge, Manning will keep the defense respecting the running game, even though anyone could run for 1000 yards in teh Colts offense. hell, even dominic rhodes did it a couple of years ago! With Edge running, and Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokley, and TE Dallas Clark catching balls, the Colts offense will fire on all cylinders. Manning won't approach last years numbers now that cornerbacks have adjusted to the contact rules, but we can expect a 4000 yard, 30 TD performance. Marvin will catch around 90 balls for 1400 yards, Wayne will get 70 for 1200, and Stokley and Clark will combine for another 1200 or so. The Colts first round pick Marlin Jackson will figure in right away. personal problems stopped him from going even higher than the late first round, but jackson has a boatload of potential. Freeney and Mathis will get the sacks, expect Freeney to go to the pro bowl again. its the linebackers: Morris, Thornton, and June, who need to step it up this year. they need to make the run defense sturdy. Expect Bob Sanders to emerge as a star this year. The Colts will lose their opener to Baltimore, but won't lose again until-- you guessed it, Week 10 at Foxboro. Despite the loss, Peyton and the Colts still have the oppurtunity to clinch home field advantage in the playoffs, which would be crucial to beat the Patriots, but stunning home losses to the Titans and Chargers derail that
Projected Finish
12-4, AFC South Champions
Offensive MVP- Peyton Manning
Defensive MVP- Dwight Freeney
Breakout Player- Bob Sanders
Tennessee Titans
- 2004 record- 5-11
Head Coach- Jeff Fisher
Underdog Titans Ready To Surprise Everyone
Yup, they are the Tennessee Titans. and i am picking them over jacksonville to finish second in the division? the team that lost mason, rolle, dyson, and carter? why? because i think jeff fisher is going to get his guys motivated after last years dissapointing 5-11 campaing, and the fact that eveyone is picking them to pick in the Top 3. This year though, they'll have MVP Steve McNair ready to play every week, and playmaker Tyrone Calico healthy. Him and Drew Bennett will form a very potent WR duo, and this team will score plenty of points with McNair, Chris Brown and Travis Henry in the backfield, and Bennett and the freakishly athletic Calico catching balls and Norm Chow calling the plays. I think they can work through their shaky offensive line, and so the real question is on defense. People will ask how this team's defense will improve w/ the losses of Rolle and Dyson, and Carter? For one thing, Kevin Carter had jsut 6 sacks last year, easily replaceable. And while Samari Rolle is healthy and ready to go for the Ravens, he was injured last year and has been a bit inconsistent the past couple of years. THe losses of Rolle and Dyson still hurt very much, but Pac Man Jones can help heal the pain. hes a playmaker on D, he'll be a fan favorite and a Pro Bowler in Nashville. Albert Haynesworth and Randy Starks are both young and extremely talented, and i think both of them will excel this year. Starks was playing so well at thend of the year, i think his success will carry on to this year and he'll make the Pro Bowl. Tank Williams is a top notch safety and IMO, keith bulluck is the best OLB in the NFL. So this defense will make enough stops to win some games. The Titans will start slowly, losing their first 4 games and 5 of their first 7, but a 5 game winning streak will put this team back in contention before tough losses to Houston and Jacksonville take them out of playoff contention. Still, a huge success and i think Jeff Fisher will warrant COY consideration.
Projected Finish
9-7, 2nd in AFC South
Offensive MVP: Steve McNair
Defensive MVP: Keith Bulluck
Breakout Player: (Tie)Tyrone Calico and Randy Starks
Jacksonville Jaguars
head coach: Jack Del Rio
Playoffs or bust for Jags
Jack Del Rio has made stunning leaps in his first two years at Jacksonville, but now in his third year, his own success has put the pressure on him to make the playoffs. Can Byron and Co. do it? not this year. Byron Leftwich is still too inconsistent as a passer, and his recieveing corps isn't exaclty very strong. Aside from Jimmy Smith, noone has proved themselves. Reggie Williams slumped in his rookie year, and Matt Jones figures to do the same. He'll be primarily a red zone target, he'll probaly catch 5 TD passes, but only 20 passes in total. Del Rio needs Earnest Wilford and Williams to develop, and he needs to pray that Fred Taylor is healthy the entire year after they lost out on teh Travis Henry sweepstakes. I think Taylor will miss a couple of games, and Toefield and Greg Jones will not be able to provide the same kind of running game. it'll hurt the offense immensley. On defense, the line is stellar w/ Stroud and Hayward leading the way. Marcellus Wiley has also been signed by the Jags and the Cowboys bust will line up opposite Hayward. Rashean Mathis should become a household name, he looked impressive last year. You would think Donovan Darius would have alienated himself against his teammates after his public request, including in a Minnesota newspaper, to be traded to the Vikings. but his hard hitting style is staying in redneck florida. while this D is very good, its not good enough to win them games where the offense struggles. I'm expecting to see several defensive struggles go the opposite way, and the Jags will miss out on teh playoffs.
Projected Finish
8-8, 3rd in AFC South
Offensive MVP- Fred Taylor
Defensive MVP- Reggie Hayward
Breakout player- Rashean Mathis
Houston Texans
- 2004 Record- 7-9
Head Coach: Dom Capers[/size]
The Question for Texans Fans: Are we destined to be a .500 Team Every Year?
The Texans are still a very young team, but it is still extremely discouraging to watch a talented team like this one play so inconsistently. Some days, they're playing awesome, and some, like week 17 of last season, are just plain awful. in week 17, the 7-8 Texans lost to the 3-12 Browns. The Front office decided they needed to shore up the defense. they drafted travis johnson, who will be very good, but their other moves were very questionable. They traded to get Philip Buchanon, a highly overrated young CB. They also cut ties with stud LB Jamie Sharper, opting to overpay overrated Chiefs LB Morlon Greenwood. Dunta Robinson will be his usual awesome self, but the rest of the defense looks pretty ugly. Johnson and Robinson will likely be the only bright spots on that defense. Jason Babin, though, looks like he might join Robinson and Johnson on that list. I think hes in for a big year. maybe 8 to 10 sacks. on offense, the Texans almost traded for Orlando Pace, which would have been a great deal for them, and then they traded away the chance to draft Jamaal Brown or Alex Barron, so the Offensive line still looks like a weakness. Getting speedster Jerome Mathis in the 4th round was a steal, but it still looks like Andre Johnson will be the only consistent threat at WR. Domanick Davis and Vernand Morency should form a nice one two punch. David Carr will likely have another so so year, and Texan fans will be left trying to remember what it was like to win back to back games.
Projected Finish
5-11, 4th in AFC South
Offensive MVP- Andre Johnson
Defensive MVP- Dunta Robinson
Breakout Player- Jason Babin

I also disagree with the results, because I think the texans will be at least 8-8. I think that we're going to have a better year than the Titans, whom I predict to finish at 5-11. The reason for this is exactly what you've stated in your analysis: The titans lost so many guys. You can't lose that many good players and just put other guys to fill holes and expect to win. Chris Brown and Steve Mcnair are injury prone, if they're healthy they may have a shot. Their D should be not bad, but I still think they're in for a tough year.
On the other hand, the texans. We have quietly been cultivating a good, young nucleus of a team. We have had our growing pains, but have been learning along with them. David Carr has improved every year that he has played, so expect a good year for him. Andre Johnson is a stud, and DD and Morency will be good in the backfield. And our O-line might actually surprise some people. They have been together for over a year now and might gel into quite a unit. Pitts and Wand are both young, and could still develop some. And Drew Hodgdon may take over as center in the near future.
Defensively, we are now a team built on speed. Greenwood and Wong should be good in the middle, and Peek and Babin should wreak havoc on the outside. Johnson gives us some depth on the line in case Walker or Payne go down again. Buchanon may be a risk, but he is also young and can still grow. And then Glenn Earl is developing into a good SS for us with Coleman manning the FS spot.
In short, I think this will be the year we take a step forward, not backwards. I do enjoy the fact that everyone is underestimating us though, because we may be able to catch everyone napping.
And p.s. Greenwood was nabbed from the Dolphins, not the chiefs. Just an FYI before you put that in anywhere.

I know, and I hope you don't take what I wrote as being an attack against your analysis. I do think that you were very accurate in the writeup that you have done. To the average fan, it would seem like the texans are ready to take a step backwards this year. I'm just an optimist and truly believe we will have a good year.
Here's hoping both our teams do well this year.

Film and Live Music from Latin America by Coastside artists
The Coastside Film Society to screen two pre-release films about Latin America by local filmmakers. With Bonus Live Music!
Fri. Nov 20, 7:30 pm
Coastside Adult Community Ctr./Sr. Coastsiders.
925 Main Street, HMB
$7.00 adults, $4.00 students
short: A Gift for Abuelo (13 mins)
A poignant tale of a young boy who honors his grandfather on the Day of the Dead by protecting the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles that nest near his home. Gail Evenari, the local filmmaker who shot this film in Mexico, will attend the screening.
Live music by Maikel Garcia & Ander Meyer
The score for our short was composed and performed by Maikel Garcia, a Cuban-born jazz saxophonist who lives now in the Bay Area. He will perform live at the screening with pianist/bassist Ander Meyer.
feature: Laser Beam of Santiago (44 mins)
A documentary shot in Santiago de Cuba by the Film Society's own Warren Haack. The film focuses on the life and music of Sergio delis Sabouvin (the Laser Beam of Santiago) a street performer who gets away with singing protest songs in Communist Cuba because of the honesty and humor of his music.
This intimate, lively documentary follows Sabouvin in several impromptu performances and gives the audience a view into the Cuban consciousness through his music. His performances and messages exemplify the spirit of hope that glimmers as relations between Cuba and the U.S. have begun to thaw.
"The film has an infectious quality and a real-time feeling that brings this great talent to us as if we were right there with him and his audience in the streets of Santiago. Bravo Sergio! Bravo Warren!"—Joseph McBride, film critic and historian.
A Night of Silent Horror Films in HMB
On Friday, Oct 23rd, the Coastside Film Society will be hosting another one of our Silent Film Nights. Given that this screening comes the week between Pumpkin Fest and Halloween we decided to book two silent horror classics. Our Feature is a swashbuckling melodramatic retelling of a dark Victor Hugo novel first screened in 1929. The opening act is a classic NEW silent short with a similar vibe created by a talented young local film maker.
Come in costume and save a few bucks.
To encourage you to all come all decked out and make this a festive affair, we have decided to offer a $2 discount for each person who attends the screening in costume. (Our feature is set in the royal English court of 1690 and features a protagonist who acted as the model for Batman's Joker. So powdered wigs, Phantom of the Opera costumes or Joker masks would fit right in—but you get to decide what costume is right for you.)
Live Music by Montara's own Shauna Pickett-Gordon.
This is the seventh time that the Film Society has hired Shauna Pickett-Gordon to write a score for one of our Silent Film Nights & to play that score live on her piano during the screening. If you don't know Shauna's work check out excerpts from one of her earlier Film Night performances at the top of my Youtube.com/Podtactics channel.
Fri. Oct 23, 7:30 pm
Coastside Senior Housing/Senior Coastsiders
925 Main Street, Half Moon Bay
$7.00 adults, $4.00 children (Show up in costume for a $2.00 discount)
Short: The Count's Daughter (2013 -3 mins)
This silent short is from Johnny Villar, a 22-year-old Bay Area film maker/wunderkind. Created in homage to the 1920 silent films Johnny loves, it features a unique visual style and frightfully funny over-the-top performances. Winner of the "Best Acting" award at the 2013 International Youth Silent Film Festival. Johnny will attend the screening and introduce both films and take questions about silent films after the screening.
Feature: The Man Who Laughs (1928 – 110 mins)
"One of the most exhilarating films of the late silent cinema era" Time out London
Three years in the making, with a cast of thousands "The Man Who Laughs" was one of the most ambitions and unconventional silent films of all time. Universal Pictures hired the great German Expressionist film maker Paul Leni.to direct. The story is pulled from one of Victor Hugo's best romantic novels.The result is a swashbuckling melodrama awash with deep shadows and harsh angles. A film unlike anything American audiences had ever seen before. It remains of the great romantic melodramas and a monument to the expressive power of the silent screen.
German superstar, Conrad Veidt, plays Gwynplaine, who as a child has his face carved into a perpetual grin when his noble father slights the King of England. He lives as a travelling sideshow freak along with his adopted father and the beautiful, but blind, Dea. They fall in love, but Gwynplaine refuses to marry Dea because his hideous face makes him feel unworthy. When the current Queen discovers that a Lord of the realm is living as a freak she brings him into her court as part of one of her elaborate court intrigues.
"Watching the film I fell into a reverie, sometimes moved, sometimes amused, sometimes involved in a strange dreamlike way. By not alerting us with the logic of language, silent films can more easily slip us off into the shadows of fantasy. Remarkable, how a silent film like "The Man Who Laughs" can freely move from pathos to pity, from melodrama to true excitement, from cheerful horror elements to the dark stirrings of desire, from easy laughter, to something very moving. The film is more disturbing than it might have been because of Leni's mastery of visual style." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

Region needs an improbable 190% of its usual rainfall to edge out of its drought
The Bay Area needs to receive more than 190% of its typical precipitation in order to be considered out of its drought. In this case, out of the drought means out of the bottom 20% of all five-year periods in the historical record. And the odds don't favor higher-than-nornal precipitation in northern California.
According to climate.gov, "This is a ton of rain/snow."
Also, there is only a 33% to 40% chance that winter will be wetter than normal this year, because El Niño is experienced much more strongly in southern California than in the middle of the state. The probability may be even lower than that, because the Bay Area is on the edge of that probability zone.
The jury is still out, though, on northern California. In the past, the connection between wet winters and El Niño has been less reliable in the northern part of the state than the southern part. But according to a new analysis by the NOAA Drought Task Force, the odds for a wet winter across the entire state improve the stronger the El Niño event is, and the 2015-16 event is currently forecast to remain strong through winter.
There's a lot more information in the linked article.
First annual Half Moon Bay Fish & Fleet Festival, Sunday, Sept 27

Enjoy amazing seafood from local fishermen, craft beer, and live music—while hanging out with family and friends.
Commercial fishing is a risky business. Come meet local fishermen and learn about their historic profession. Let's celebrate small-scale sustainable wild fisheries and the fleet's teamwork as they navigate this highly regulated industry.
The festival is organized by the Half Moon Bay Seafood Marketing Association. This commercial fishermen's collective is working to support the industry and the community. They are based out of Pillar Point Harbor, and represent producers of all gear types and all local target species.
Support local fishermen and their families, and buy fresh seafood from Pillar Point Harbor.
Animation Compares 1997 vs. 2015 El Niños Side-by-Side
The California Climate Blog has a great video comparing this year's El Niño to 1997's:
Those similarities and differences matter because they can affect how an El Niño's typical impacts on global weather — from drought to deluges — shape up, the reason it receives such rapt attention. ...
"I was a little shocked just how closely 2015 resembles 1997 visually," Rehme said in a statement.
But as any El Niño researcher will tell you, no two El Niño events are alike, and the impacts from this one aren't guaranteed to be just like 1997-1998.
The most obvious difference between this year and that event, clearly visible in the animation, is the "blob" of warm water off the west coast of North America, a symptom of the relentless high pressure pattern that has kept the West hot and dry over much of the last few years and led to the deep drought in California.
Right now, it is unclear how this warm patch will interact with the typical El Niño impacts (which aren't guaranteed to materialize). That warmth could mean that any storms that hit drop more rain instead of much-needed snow that could help replenish depleted reservoirs.
We Corner People - A documentary about building a bridge in Nepal, Friday, Sept 11
The Half Moon Bay Film Society presents We Corner People, a documentary about building a bridge in Nepal.
Near Nepal's border with China sits a small village that is breathtakingly beautiful, but oh so isolated. The inhabitants call themselves the "Corner People", living as they do with their backs up against a mountain without benefit of electricity, roads, a doctor's office, or even a single store. They are proud of their 3-room school, but that just goes up to 3rd grade. The nearest town with a store, customers to sell their bamboo weavings to, or a school for older children is a 4-hour, round-trip hike away.
The path to the stores and customers crosses a river that can be easily leapt in a single bound during the dry season but grows to a raging torrent during monsoon season. Everyone in town mourns the loss of at least one individual who slipped and drowned while attempting to cross the angry river.
Now the local government has raised the money to build a bridge over the river and sent supplies and an engineer to supervise the construction. No power tools have been provided to string the heavy metal cables across the river gorge or to lay deep bridge foundations. Large gangs of locals must work together in harmony to do this hard work.
"This subtle, multi-dimensional film tells the story of a bridge, not as a monumental or heroic achievement of development, but as an event that occurs within a local social history… The portrait is holistic ….a story of a participatory development, told entirely without romance, false egalitarianism, or teleological overtones." Dr. Stacy Pigg, Simon Fraser University

Letter: LED Lights update - Please attend and speak up at MCC, Weds, Sept 9
The LED lights project for the Coastside is still in process and will be discussed at the MCC meeting next Wednesday. While the county seems to be leaning towards the amber colored lights they have not agreed to diffusing covers or shields to prevent overflow to adjacent homes and yards. The proposed solution for the overflow and glare into homes and yards is to hand manufacture and install shields after the fact, when requested, despite availability for factory installation. There will be no diffusing covers to soften the glare.
A couple of MCC members support the existing lights. Others do not. Many comments and letters to Don Horsley or on the county comment web page have stated that the existing lights are too bright and glaring. They are noticeably emitting more glare than the existing lights due to the lack of covers. The MCC has informally requested a dimmer sample light be put up and considered as a mitigation for the glare. The county has not responded to this request. The MCC will be discussing a formal letter on this issue.
The County is claiming there is little public interest in this issue. Despite the request for public input, letters to DH have not been acknowledged by his office and there is no way of knowing they were received or read. I received no reply to a long letter I sent early this year until I inquired weeks later. While comments made on the County website are on the mcc website, there has been no comprehensive gathering of all public comment. I know several people who wrote directly to Supervisor Horsley and did not comment on the county webpage which required a multistep registration and was problematic.
To influence this decision It is critical that we have speakers at the MCC meeting next week at the GSD office. Please come and speak up for dark sky and soft light in our rural community. I personally have a light next to my home and yard that will pollute my night sky views unless it has a shield. The current fixture has a bulb that directs the light away from the property. Anyone else near a fixture will be impacted by this. Also while the County asked for public input, the numerous complaints about the glare have not responded to with an effective solution.
Please let me know if you have any questions and whether you will be at the meeting.

NASA says west coast sea levels could be poised to rise
KQED reports that the west coast has gotten off easy on sea level rise so far, but that may be about to change.
"In the next five or ten years, I think the west coast of the United States is going to catch up," says Josh Willis, a climate scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena. He says a major ocean phase known as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation is in the midst of a big shift.
For about the past two decades, the PDO, which Willis describes as "El Niño's bigger, slower, brother," was "piling up" warmer water on the far side of the ocean, exacerbating sea rise there. When water warms, it expands.
"So we've actually seen a slight drop in sea levels off of our coastline because of the rearrangement of heat within the oceans," Willis explains.
That rearrangement could mean an acceleration in the rate that seas rise long the West Coast, eventually overtaking the pace of sea level rise on the East Coast and elsewhere.

The Clock works very well. I think the temperature readings are a little above the real temperature. I tried a humidifier and the humidity index went up. Overall a very good product!

|Date Added: Friday 05 February, 2010
We recently purchased a humidifier and we got two of these to check its effectiveness. At first we were shocked to see that the humidity in our bedroom was only around 32% - too dry! No wonder we were getting dry itchy skin. Now we use these to keep it at 45% which is supposedly ideal. Nice product. Note: when they came, one of them didn't work but the company replaced it immediately so no complaint.

Very nice size, numbers are clearly visible. Nice having temperature and humidity in one compact unit. Know where to go if I want to order another one. Why hunt around again if this does it all.

It's not healthy and it's a waste of a life to be seriously overweight. We shouldn't just act like it's no big deal, because it is. You go to the midwest and nearly everyone is at least overweight, (got a sizable gut).

Yea, but very few people are on that level where their weight is mostly muscle mass. If you compare the number of overweight and obese people from 1970, and 2010, it's a huge difference. Our culture supports it, everything is about convenience, and doing shit fast because you have no time to do any normal things like cook or exercise.
Shit, I noticed a huge difference in the last 10 years. I use to be like 1 of 5 fat kids in my whole elementary school, and now I'm skinny and the tables have turned, making me a minority again amongst a bunch of chubby young adults. Wtf
It's not healthy and it's a waste of a life to be seriously overweight. We shouldn't just act like it's no big deal, because it is. You go to the midwest and nearly everyone is at least overweight, (got a sizable gut).
You don't have to be a body builder to have enough muscle mass to weigh 180-200 pounds if you're in the average 5'10-6'00 range. Wolfie has a 34 waist and is considered overweight. I've got a 32 waist and I'm considered overweight. On the other end of the spectrum, a 5'10 tall man can weigh 130 and be classified as healthy? That's absurd -- he'd be gaunt and look like one of those coked out female french models. The chart simply has problems.
In relation to the rest of the world, again -- I'm not denying our country is fat. But if we're all going to be called fat (including myself and a few other posters here, according to the chart), then the chart needs to be reworked OR doctors could take an ACTUAL BMI reading and get, you know, real results instead of speculations.
On a semi-related note, it's humorous to see how hard people/doctors/media pushes for women to not starve themselves to look like models and girls on TV, yet the chart they use to justify 'healthy vs. unhealthy' would lead many of those same women to look in the sub-120 range to be classified as 'healthy'.

|lol, I'm 6'3 190 lbs. They say that is the healthy range, but they haven't seen the way I jiggle when I brush my teeth. Oh well, marathon training starts in 2 weeks. Here's hoping I don't have a heart attack.
|Those stats are pretty horrifying.
I can answer this one. America is simply at the fat, rich stage of its development as a society.
Hear me out. I'm only half serious but I think there is truth in this argument. The story goes like this:
You find a new continent that is not being used to its full potential so you colonise it and create a completely new society from scratch. People come to your "Land of Plenty" and for a couple of hundred years they work hard because they are motivated by building their new nation. Some find ways to tap unexploited riches in the land and they become an example to the rest who work hard for the "Dream." Huge wealth is created during this growth phase but it is not widely distributed.
Eventually people realise that the dream is pretty much exhausted so they look for other ways to catch up. They form trade unions and win more equitable conditions for the working class thereby creating a massive middle class and establishing a consumer age in the economy. Wealth is still created but it is widely distributed and increasing standards of living fund consumption. Wages rise so prices rise in a vicious cycle so consumer goods begin coming in from less developed countries that have cost advantages.
When you operate in a high cost environment, there are few ways to compete with low cost environments. You either work harder (for the same money) or you develop technological advantages that boost your efficiency. Neither of these work forever.
Your workers still feel rich but their standard of living gradually declines as they lose jobs or work harder and harder to keep up. They sacrifice leisure time, health and family to produce the efficiencies that they need to to enable them to continue to consume at their previous rate.
This is about where the US is at the moment. People are tired, fat, unhealthy and confused relative to 50 years ago.
I have no idea where the story goes from here but plenty of empires have risen and fallen throughout history. The difference is that it hasn't happened on a global scale, at least not in recorded history.
When it comes down to it, people only need food and shelter. All the rest is artificial. Most of our careers and industries and economic endeavour are simply providing luxuries that didn't exist a few generations ago. I can't see it all disappearing but I can't see it going on forever either.
Sorry for the long post.

I've tried various methods but nothing seems to work, and once my shoes are 'infected', regardless of how long I don't wear them, they are never the same again! I know that feet are designed to sweat more than other parts of the body and that suffocating them with shoes causes the problem but I'd appreciate any natural, vegan suggestions.

Isaiah Rankin
Isaiah Rankin made one first-team appearance after rising through the ranks at London Colney - and that came in the north London derby.
Rankin had recently returned from a loan spell with Colchester United in Division Three when he was handed his chance as a substitute against Tottenham in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane in December 1997.

That four-minute cameo proved to be the forward's only run-out under Arsene Wenger, who sold Rankin to Bradford for £1.3 million the following summer.
Ultimately the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Ian Wright, Nicolas Anelka and Christopher Wreh were too far ahead in the pecking order.
Rankin helped the Bantams reach the Premier League in his first season but did not feature heavily in the top flight. From there he enjoyed loan spells with Birmingham and Bolton before joining Barnsley in 2001.
The Football League journeyman had no fewer than 14 clubs during his career, spending time with Grimsby Town (twice), Brentford, Macclesfield, Stevenage Borough, Crawley Town, Forest Green Rovers, Ashford Town and Hendon.

Women's Basketball Drops 62-60 Heartbreaker to Minnesota in WNIT
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Leading by five points with just over 50 seconds remaining, the Green Bay women's basketball team saw its lead slip through its fingers as Minnesota's Rachel Banham hit two big threes in the closing seconds to help the Gophers escape with a 62-60 win in the opening round of the WNIT on Wednesday evening at Williams Arena.
With the loss Green Bay ended its season at 22-10 overall, concluding a campaign where it picked up its 16th-consecutive Horizon League regular season championship and 15th-consecutive 20+ win season.
Freshman Tesha Buck (Red Wing, Minn.) finished with a team-high 18 points, while sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) chipped in 15 and freshman Sam Terry (Baraboo, Wis.) 10 points.
With the Phoenix leading 33-23 at halftime, Minnesota (21-12) opened the second stanza with a big 11-0 run to take back the lead, 34-33 just over four minutes in. A quick 7-3 response run by Green Bay put the Phoenix back in front by five points (42-37) at the 11:11 mark.
Minnesota then went on a 7-1 run of its own to take a one point lead (44-43) with 7:14 remaining, but Green Bay again grabbed control and went up by six points (57-51) with a 14-7 run that ended with just over two minutes remaining.
The Phoenix held on to a five-point lead with 51 seconds on the clock, but Minnesota junior Rachel Banham came up big in the final seconds, hitting two big threes to help guide the Gophers to the win. She hit her first with 45 seconds on the clock, and after senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) missed a shot in the lane, Banham hit her second with 11 seconds on the clock to put Minnesota ahead, 61-60.
Terry had a chance to put the Phoenix ahead with a corner three with seven seconds remaining, but her attempt was blocked and UM's Kayla Hirt was fouled on the rebound, sending her to the free throw line where she made the front end for the final 62-60 score.
It was a back-and-forth battle through the opening minutes until the Phoenix, behind a 3-pointer by Terry at the 15:09 mark, went on a 14-4 run over the next six minutes to take a 21-13 lead. Ranger had the next bucket before Terry hit another three and Buck drained back-to-back threes to close the run.
The Gophers cut into the lead, closing within five after a Rachel Banham triple made it 23-18, but it was as close as the Gophers could get in the first half. Minnesota, after Banham's jumper on an assist from Noga made it 29-23, was held scoreless for the final two and a half minutes and the Phoenix added one more basket, setting the halftime score of 33-23.
Green Bay finished the game shooting 34.5 percent (20-58) from the field, cooling off after shooting 40.7 percent (11-27) in the first half to just 29.0 percent (9-31) in the second stanza. Junior Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) had a team-high six rebounds, while the Lukan sisters and freshman Mehryn Kraker (West Allis, Wis.) had a game-high three steals. The Phoenix was out-rebounded, 42-31.
Banham led the Gophers with 31 points, while Amanda Zahui B. had 17 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.

Arsenal have confirmed that Gilberto has joined Greek side Panathinaikos. The 31-year-old spent a total of six seasons with the Gunners, making 244 appearances. Here, Arsenal.com reporter Chris Harris pays tribute to the quiet man of Arsenal's midfield.
In a football world awash with ego, hype and sensationalism, Gilberto was a breath of fresh air.
The Brazilian never courted controversy and never spoke out of turn. He arrived quietly, he left quietly and, in between, he was quietly efficient. While emptier vessels made more noise, Gilberto just got the job done.
He came to Arsenal on the crest of a wave, shortly after helping Brazil win the World Cup in the summer of 2002, and the early signs suggested that Arsène Wenger had recruited a goalscoring midfielder. Gilberto scored the winner on his debut in the Community Shield against Liverpool, broke a Champions League record with a goal after just 20.07 seconds of Arsenal's win at PSV Eindhoven and netted at Auxerre a week later.
In truth, Gilberto's qualities were rather more prosaic, though no less important. He had earned the tag 'Invisible Wall' in Brazil for his almost unseen ability to break up attacks, protect his defence and do the simple things well. He soon put those attributes to work at Highbury but struggled to win over some sections of the Highbury crowd. It seemed this un-Brazilian Brazilian was not eye-catching enough for some.
They say 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone' and so it proved with Gilberto. Having provided the midfield foundation for the 'Invincibles' side of 2003/04, the Brazilian suffered a serious back injury which left him in a brace for much of the following campaign. Suddenly Arsenal looked fragile; suddenly Gilberto's worth was obvious. Where was the man who won the ball back, who shielded the back four? He was sidelined, and he was missed.
Gilberto's return was well-timed. Shortly afterwards, Patrick Vieira left the club and it was left to the Brazilian to guide Cesc Fabregas through the embryonic stage of his Arsenal career. It worked - Wenger's new-look line-up reach its first Champions League Final in 2006 and Gilberto excelled in Europe, revelling in the holding role when Arsenal adopted a five-man midfield.
He scaled even greater heights the following season. Thierry Henry was officially the club captain but, in his injury-forced absence, Gilberto grew from the quiet man of midfield into the team leader. He wore the armband, he took the penalties, he filled in at centre-back and he contributed 11 goals, including a North London derby double and a late equaliser in the historic opening game at Emirates Stadium.
If that showed his character on the pitch, Gilberto's conduct off the pitch was just as exemplary. Arsenal endured some desperate defeats that season but the Brazilian never shied away from reporters and spoke with integrity and honesty in his post-match interviews.
In a similar vein, Gilberto didn't vent his frustrations in the media when things weren't going his way last season. Missing out on the captaincy and losing his first-team spot must have hurt, but Gilberto knuckled down, worked hard and, when his opportunity came, he stepped up and performed.
Panathinaikos are about to find out what Arsenal have known for six years: Gilberto is a man you can rely on.

The Weekly Health Quiz: Pool Parasites, Death Rattle and Food as Medicine
June 23, 2017
An open pleural biopsy is a procedure to remove and examine the tissue that lines the inside of the chest. This tissue is called the pleura.
Biopsy - open pleura
An open pleural biopsy is done in the hospital using general anesthesia, which means you are asleep and do not feel pain during the surgery. A tube will be placed down your throat to help you breathe.
The surgeon will make a small cut in the left or right side of the chest.
Today, most centers use a technique called video-assisted thoracoscopy, which uses a camera and tiny instruments to biopsy the pleural area. With this method, only two small cuts are made. There is less pain and the recovery is much faster.
You will be asked not to eat or drink for 8 hours before the test.
You will be asleep during the procedure. There will be some tenderness and pain where the surgical cut is located. Most surgeons inject a long-acting local anesthetic at the surgical cut site so that you will have very little pain afterwards.
You may have a sore throat after the test due to the breathing tube. You can ease the sore throat by eating ice chips.
This procedure is used when the surgeon needs a larger piece of tissue than can be removed with a pleural needle biopsy. The test is most often done to rule out mesothelioma.
It is also performed when there is fluid in the chest cavity, or when a direct view of the pleura and the lungs is needed.
This procedure may also be done to examine a metastatic pleural tumor.
The pleura will be normal.
Abnormal findings may be due to:
There is a slight chance of:

text: An armed robber, who police believe has robbed more than 30 businesses on Virginias middle peninsula, entered an AutoZone in York County, Va. and attempted to rob the store. Upon recognizing the criminal who has been called the fake beard bandit, store employee Devin McClean retreated to the stores bathroom, then exited the store and headed for his truck. McClean retrieved a pistol from his vehicle, reentered the store and ordered the criminal to freeze as he was terrorizing another employee. At first the bandit complied and threw his hands in the air, but then he fled the scene. Following the incident, the manager on duty told McClean, thank you Devin, you really saved my life. Unfortunately, two days after the attempted robbery, McClean was fired by AutoZone, whose corporate office cited a zero tolerance policy when contacted by the media. Despite losing his job, McClean says he wouldnt change anything, stating, If I can save somebodys life, I put that way above store policy.

As I reflect back on the highlights from the Gov2.0 Summit last week (and read back through my Tweets), it's easy to identify the underlying theme that seemed to resonate throughout the event:
Governments need to open up access to data to allow nongovernment groups (private enterprise) to develop citizen-friendly applications that leverage the data in new and useful ways.
The very first session highlighted some fascinating public transport services created on top of open government data (see embedded video below).
A Case for Open Data in Transit
There were certainly some compelling arguments made in favor of this approach — not the least being that it's a highly cost-effective way to provide improved services to taxpayers who ultimately foot the bill for government IT efforts. As an investor in government IT (I pay taxes), I'm fully supportive of anything that improves services and reduces costs!
One of the most memorable quotes came early on from Carl Malamoud when, in his opening keynote, he suggested, "If we can put a man on the moon, surely we can launch the Library of Congress into cyberspace." (See his keynote below).

at SYRACUSE ORANGE (0-0)
Kickoff: Thursday, 8:00 p.m. EDT
Line: Syracuse -7, Total: 49.5
Syracuse looks to build on a surprising eight-win season when it opens the 2011 campaign at home against Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons had a miserable year, going 3-9 and getting outscored by 13.0 PPG. NFL scores.
Wake was equally bad on both sides of the ball, ranking 108th in the nation in total offense (302 YPG) and 101st in total defense (431 YPG). QB Tanner Price finished his freshman year with zero TD tosses in his final four games, a span of 85 pass attempts. Syracuse also had its problems on offense, scoring 20 points or less eight times. However, the Orange was tremendous on the defensive side of the ball, finishing seventh among FBS schools in total defense (301 YPG) and holding eight opponents to 16 points or less. Considering Wake is 3-11 ATS in its past 14 road games and the Orange are 9-3 ATS in the past 12 games versus non-Big East opponents, the pick here is for SYRACUSE to win and cover.
The FoxSheets also like the UNDER to occur in this matchup.
SYRACUSE is 34-12 UNDER (73.9%, +20.8 Units) when the total is between 49.5 and 56 since 1992. The average score was SYRACUSE 18.1, OPPONENT 28.0 – (Rating = 2*). Odds.
Despite 16 starters returning, the cupboard is still pretty bare for Jim Grobe's Wake Forest team. A subpar receiving corps has hindered QB Tanner Price's progression. The only reliable pass catcher is Chris Givens (35 rec, 514 yds, 4 TD). For the Deacons to hang around in this game, TB Josh Harris (720 rush yds, 5.7 YPC, 7 TD) will have to gain yards on the ground. On the defensive side of the ball, undersized DT Nikita Whitlock and DE Zach Thompson have to put pressure on Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib, and to keep the pressure off a young secondary that started three freshmen at the close of the 2010 campaign. Wake also lost its two starting ILBs.
Most of the Orange offense returns with QB Ryan Nassib (19 TD, 8 INT) and WR Van Chew (611 yds) trying to improve on Syracuse's 11.5 PPG in its final four regular-season games. RB Antwon Bailey (5.1 YPC career) must make the jump from a third-down back to the featured rusher replacing Delone Carter. The defense may take a step back after losing six starters, the biggest being leading tackler Derrell Smith. NFL betting lines.

Hey Guys,
I want to get serious w/ my "costume" this winter break from school.
Please send anything you have regarding material/jumpsuits/etc. my way. I'm looking for a more screen-accurate color. Most everything I see is too purple for my tastes. I would rather go completely maroon & have it be off than completely purple.
I really appreciate the interest & help. Thanks.

Arsenal are 1/3 with GunnersGaming to beat Olympiacos in their Champions League clash at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
The home side are favourites and have lost just twice in their last 42 home games in the competition.
The Gunners have never lost at home to Greek opposition in Europe, while Olympiacos have won just three of their 56 away games in the Champions league, losing 43.
Additionally, the visitors have lost all 10 away matches against English opposition - scoring just twice.
Lukas Podolski has scored three goals in his last two Champions League appearances and can be backed at 3/1 to score first. He is a 9/10 chance to score anytime.
Strike partner Olivier Giroud is priced up at 7/2 to score the first goal, while the in-form Gervinho is 9/2.
The two sides have met in the group stages in two of the last three seasons, with Arsenal scoring two goals and registering victories in both games at Emirates Stadium. With that in mind, a 2-0 home win can be backed at 4/1.
Elsewhere, GunnersGaming have priced under 2.5 goals at 6/5.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 67, December 29, 1995
Using the -base Flag on mppexec
The man page for mppexec on Denali shows many different options for submitting jobs to the T3D:
> MPPEXEC(1) Cray Research, Inc. UNICOS MAX 1.0 > > NAME > mppexec - Initiates and services a user application on a > CRAY T3D system > > SYNOPSIS > mppexec a.out [-base node] [-bwire c] [-debug] [-nosleep] > [-npes n or n-m] [-pool pool_name] [-time seconds] [-wired] > [-ypesim host:[path]] [user_options] [user_args]So a user can submit a job in either of two ways:
mppexec a.out -base 0x010or
a.out -base 0x010they both work the same.
The -base switch is described in the mppexec manpage as:
> -base node Causes the partition to be allocated such that > virtual PE0 will be located on the specified > node. If the PEs on node are currently busy, > the application will sleep waiting for them to > be released. For example: > > a.out -base 0x020 -npes 2 > > This example will assign the 2 PEs on node > 0x020 to the application. If the PEs on node > 0x020 are currently busy, the application will > sleep waiting for them to be released.From this description we know that we can at least specify which of the 128 PEs on the ARSC T3D will be PE0. Because there are 2 PEs to a single node board on the T3D it is not possible to get only 1 PE. (You can always run on 1PE but the other PE on the node board is necessarily idle.) And by experimenting with the -npes flags you can see that a user is always restricted to a power of 2 PEs.
From the mppview utility on Denali it is possible to assign a base node to each node of 2 PEs on the T3D:
_________________________________________________________ \ 0x000 0x002 0x004 0x006 0x008 0x00a 0x00c 0x00e \ \0x010 0x012 0x014 0x016 0x018 0x01a 0x01c 0x01e \ \________________________________________________________\ _________________________________________________________ \ 0x100 0x102 0x104 0x106 0x108 0x10a 0x10c 0x10e \ \0x110 0x112 0x114 0x116 0x118 0x11a 0x11c 0x11e \ \________________________________________________________\ _________________________________________________________ \ 0x200 0x202 0x204 0x206 0x208 0x20a 0x20c 0x20e \ \0x210 0x212 0x214 0x216 0x218 0x21a 0x21c 0x21e \ \________________________________________________________\ _________________________________________________________ \ 0x300 0x302 0x304 0x306 0x308 0x30a 0x30c 0x30 \ \0x310 0x312 0x314 0x316 0x318 0x31a 0x31c 0x31 \ \________________________________________________________\Although this is the mapping that mppview uses and is the mapping used in /usr/spool/mpp/mppsyslog, I found that to get PE0 into the intended position in the display, I had to transpose the first two digits of the node address. So:
a.out -base 0x130 goes to the lower left hand corner as 0x310 a.out -base 0x13e goes to the lower right hand corner as 0x310 a.out -base 0x12e goes to the 0x21eThis switch only assigns PE0 and does not specify the shape of the partition used by the job. The partitions generally look like a square or a rectangle in the mppview display but it can sometimes wrap around the torus and produce what looks like two disjointed rectangles.
Knowing how the partition is allocated would provide the user with the -base switch, the ability to avoid certain PEs. But in any case, knowing where the partition begins allows the user to avoid particular PEs. For example:
a.out -base 0x020 -npes 1 a.out -base 0x020 -npes 2 a.out -base 0x020 -npes 4 a.out -base 0x020 -npes 8 a.out -base 0x020 -npes 16 a.out -base 0x020 -npes 32 a.out -base 0x020 -npes 64would all avoid the PE 0x01a.
NQS and the T3DStuart Paton of the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre writes in about the limitations of NQS in scheduling the T3D (Newsletter #65(12/15/95)):
> Here at EPCC the NQS-T3D problems you mention were very visible > in the early period of production these have now been basically > eliminated by careful tuning. The system manager, Mike Brown, > recently delivered a paper at CUG on how this was achieved. I > am not sure whether you have seen this but it should address > the problems that you are seeing. I assume that it can be > retrieved somehow either from the CUG home page or direct from > email@example.com the CUG home page, I saw no way of getting the papers from any of the past CUG conferences and also the paper was not available through the EPCC web page. But I know Mike Brown presented a description of EPCC's work with NQS and the T3D at the Alaska CUG. I missed most of that presentation but I do have a copy of slides and we are all waiting for the Proceedings of the Alaska CUG to come out.

Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on November 13, 2012
Jawbone, a privately-held company based in San Francisco with a $1.5 billion valuation, today announced the relaunch of its UP wristband, which it discontinued one year ago due to manufacturing problems. (An excellent article in Fortune from October details the "beautiful failure" of the product and CEO Hosain Rahman's decision to cease manufacturing and refund customers' money.) There's a lot to like about this company and its products. Jawbone is one of few companies that has successfully innovated the adjacent possible, as my colleague James McQuivey has written, pivoting from Bluetooth headsets to Jambox speakers to the UP. The UP is a wearable device that lives (on the wrist) at the intersection of fashion and the consumerization of health. The UP is part of an emerging phenomenon that we call Smart Body, Smart World, which we think will power the next wave of growth and innovation in personal computing.

NEA Also Looking to Ditch Bank of America
posted at 4:56 pm on August 13, 2012 by Mike Antonucci
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Democratic National Committee will begin moving its finances out of Bank of America and into union-owned Amalgamated Bank.
The National Education Association has long had a financial relationship with Bank of America. Hundreds of thousands of NEA members hold B of A credit cards, many of them through NEA's Member Benefits program. Some members have criticized on a political basis the union's partnership with the bank, but NEA officers publicly defended it, and the union has taken some liberal heat for siding with big banks in the past.
But NEA is floating with the tide now. Sources within the union tell EIA that NEA is in negotiations with B of A to transfer its credit card customers to a different provider.
The loss of the NEA credit card will affect B of A's bottom line, but it may also affect NEA's bottom line. Banks pay for the privilege of access to union members and to have the union's endorsement.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah University (MU) is pleased to announce that the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) has approved the courses offered by Multnomah on the Reno-Tahoe campus to be regionally accredited.
This enables Multnomah to operate the Reno-Tahoe campus as an accredited teaching site, in which up to fifty percent of the courses required for any program (collegiate or graduate) may be offered.
This represents a significant milestone for the Reno-Tahoe campus and the result of lots of work by many people. Regional accreditation required licensure by the State of Nevada-a laborious process overseen by several Portland campus officials and Reno-Tahoe campus officials including Administrative Director Jason Daniels and Assistant Academic Dean Dr. John Burnett. After the required prospectus was submitted to NWCCU, approval was communicated to MU President Daniel R. Lockwood by letter on January 22, 2009.
Multnomah's national accrediting agency, The Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), had approved last summer Multnomah's offering of courses at the Reno-Tahoe campus.
The Work Begins
Multnomah Reno-Tahoe's spring semester has already begun, with adult education courses offered as in past semesters. That being the case, the satellite campus is preparing for the September 2009 semester when the courses offered there will be accredited.
Multnomah Biblical Seminary will also begin planning the launch of on-site courses in Reno to serve those in the Mountain West who seek accessible seminary training. These classes will be offered in conjunction with the on-line seminary courses Multnomah is already offering. The recently announced $500,000 Kern Family Foundation grant for the seminary will provide necessary resources to develop programs for those in ministry.
At this point, the Reno-Tahoe campus will function as a teaching site, offering only up to fifty percent of the courses necessary for the degree. This is an accreditation policy that enables Multnomah to begin the programs while fully developing all of the services necessary to operate a full extension campus.
"This is the fulfillment of years of hope, hard work, and prayer," said Dr. Lockwood. "While much, much work remains to be done, it is an important paragraph in the exciting story of providing biblical education to Northern Nevada."
"While the process seems slow, it is amazing to recall that it has been only six months since the property was transferred to Multnomah. Remember, the Lord's timetable is the important one. But, we're so delighted for this tangible evidence of His providential care and guidance."
"I am thrilled that we at the Reno-Tahoe extension campus are now able to offer accredited Christian education to those who want to serve in their local churches and local nonprofits, caring for those in need," states Jason Daniels, administrative director of the Reno-Tahoe extension campus.
"This is great news for Christian college students in Northern Nevada and across the Mountain West," explains Daniels. "Our students will have the opportunity to take high-quality general education courses that include a Christian worldview and then transfer them to other institutions like the University of Nevada, Reno."
Contact Information
For more information about Multnomah's Reno-Tahoe campus, call 800.275.4672 or email email@example.com.
About Multnomah
Multnomah University is a fully accredited, private, non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located in Portland, Oregon. Made up of an undergraduate Bible college, a biblical seminary, graduate programs, an adult degree completion program, and an online distance-learning program, Multnomah issues bachelor's and master's degrees, and professional certifications and endorsements.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler will meet with an independent neurologist on Saturday, a meeting that he hopes ends with him being given clearence to play Sunday against the Vikings. Cutler has been putting in limited practice all week, and head coach Lovie Smith said Friday that he is "looking good" as he tries to come back from a Week 10 concussion.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Bears still expect him to be cleared in time for kickoff, but we have learned recently to not jump to conclusions when it comes to players with concussions. Hopefully we'll have another update on Cutler tomorrow. If he plays, he'll be a fine QB2 against the Vikings. Of course, Brandon Marshall 's prospects would go up if Cutler is under center, but you are starting him anyway. I think Cutler's return will help Matt Forte most of all as has been shut down in the past two games.

From everyone at Blizzard to you and yours, have a safe and happy holiday season!
To help celebrate, we've prepared a Holiday Card Gallery featuring a festive Diablo III card. Enjoy!
His bicycle tires don't run flat; they explode. When news breaks, he fixes it. His collection of vintage Blizzard memorabilia could fill a garage... and it does. They made a Diablo creature in his honor, but it was deemed too frightening to include in the game. The people of Orgrimmar love him, even though he plays Alliance. He is the most interesting web content manager in the world. He doesn't always like to be in the spotlight, but when he does, Geoff prefers to be featured in a Day in the Life article.
Read the article about a day in the life of Web Content Manager Geoff Fraizer now!
To prepare for the holidays, Great-Father Winter has massively buffed your gift-giving abilities. For a limited time, we're offering epic savings of up to 75% on select World of Warcraft products through the online Blizzard Store:
With these deals, there's never been a better time to recruit a friend to World of Warcraft or hook up your guildmate with a new mount or pet. Click here to start shopping, but don't delay; these offers end Monday, December 19, 2011.
Against our better judgment, we've just published "A Day in the Life... Micah Whipple" on our 20th Anniversary website, chronicling a single day in the life of our most-senior community manager. In this unauthorized autobiography, Micah gives you an inside look at what it's like to be Bashiok, what it's like to not be Bashiok, and what it's like to write an essay that is almost entirely devoid of facts.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by dba, Jul 20, 2007.
To which I would add the following. Sheed get's T's up in the pre-game huddle
A possible Conressional hearing. Congressman wants to meet with Stern
Yeah, get all up his YKW.
I can't wait until Sheed starts using this against other NBA refs.
So, supposedly, Donaghy is going to "name names" of other refs and players. That will be interesting.
I wonder if Bavetta is on that list? Or maybe Flip bet on Cavs? (did he say anything about coaches as well?)
I would be very surprised if other refs/players are involved. This Doneghy guy has to be a near geneious to get around all the checks and balances they have in place. This story is beyond gambling. Thats the main story but it would not have the legs it has if not for all the doubts fans have had over the years and all the secrecy Stern has had concerning the refs.
Ya know...I'm still wondering why Donaghy hasn't been arrested yet and is allowed to make his own timeline for interrogation. Instead...they send the police out to protect him? WHY is this guy allowed this much freedom under the allegations? He pretty much admitted guilt by resigning. JMO...this whole thing goes much farther than just Donaghy. And the FBI is giving him time and a chance at a plea if he connects the dots for them. I think Donaghy is the new poster child for the witness protection program.
The checks and balances are a big bluff. There are too many games (1,200+ per year) and the standards must have been relaxed for vets like Donaghy. Also, they say that the NBA was watching him for the past year, but still assigned him to big games. When you look at his personal life, there was obviously something wrong with this guy emotionally. I'm not sure why Stern didn't realize it. Hitting golf balls at his neighbors houses at night. Arguing with everyone. Chasing the mailman in his car. Personal lawsuits against him. etc. He couldn't even get along with Sheed. There is always the possibility that he will lie and implicate others in an effort to get some sort of bargain. But it would not be an easy thing to make up. The numbers would have to pan out in the analysis. This might be the house cleaning event we have been waiting for.
It's a lot easier to hide a thief in the thieves guild than in a courthouse. Remember that. The best disguise is to be in plain sight.
I would look at who was Doneghy`s partners is the games he worked. To me, it would be somewhat difficult to fix, make bad calls, etc....on a consistent basis without his peers (that are working the game with him) becoming suspicious. An NBA game has a 3 man crew, for one of those three to have an impact on a game without the other 2 refs knowledge is possible perhaps, but I can`t see it happening often.
You very rarely see a call by one ref over-turned by the others. I think it safe to say there's an unwritten rule to mind each other's backs. Either that or they claim blindness as an exemption when filing their tax returns.
True and I agree with you that something was wrong with the guy that should have made the league question his competency. However, someone hitting golf balls at his neighbors garage is not necessarily a sign of someone having a gambling problem and messing around with illegal bookies. The league still checked his back account and he was banned from all forms of gambling ( except for horse racing per league policy). So it very ingeneous how he was able to hide the money trail. As for other refs. Very few would risk a 200K+ job on something they know is going to ruin their careers. Besides they cannot hide the winning so doing so would also be tax evasion. There is too much to risk for me to believe that this would be widespread.
You don't do the betting yourself, you have someone else do it for you. He was passing off information to repay debts. If he was successful, it would just reduce the amount of money he owed the guys who he tipped off.
I agree, you rarely see a call overturned by another ref, however, it does happen. If one ref continously makes bad or questionable calls, the other refs must sense somethimg is going on, or else they are extremely naive. That rule about minding each others backs was damaged last year even befroe this betting mess, with the Tim Duncan incident.
Yeah the NBA had to backtrack quickly after it was said they had a clue back in Jan. Other wise they knowingly comp.......
Folks risk good paying jobs and freedom for not-so-smart reasons all the time. Just open up a paper or turn on the news and there someone is, causing us to ask why would they... or how could they be so stupid? I'll be surprised if it is found that Tim was the only one doing this.
I'll be surprised if John Q. Public ever finds out how widespread this is.
I agree with this also.
