Signature Stat Leaders, Week 4
Exploring the recent week's top performances with a peek into some of our most popular Signature Stats, Khaled Elsayed lays out the leaderboard.
Signature Stat Leaders, Week 4
Whether you've been following us since Day 1, or just realized we existed yesterday, the one thing you should know is we provide some of the most unique NFL data available anywhere.
Having all this data led to the creation of the Signature Stat section of our Premium Stats, and this season we're taking a look at the recent week's top performances through a Signature Stats lens.
Selecting out some of our most popular Signature Stats, here are some of the players that led the pack in Week 4:
Accuracy Percentage
You know what a completion percentage doesn't tell you? It doesn't tell you when a quarterback spiked a ball, threw it away, had a pass batted at the line of scrimmage, or was hit while in the process of making a throw. Well, our adjusted completion percentage ignores those throws where a quarterback's aim can't be measured, and goes further by counting dropped passes as good as completions to give a reflection of who the most accurate quarterbacks are.
# Name Team Att. Comp Drops TA BP SP HAT Acc. %
1 Philip Rivers SD 23 18 1 1 0 0 0 86.4
2 Peyton Manning DEN 38 30 1 0 2 0 0 86.1
3 Aaron Rodgers GB 41 31 4 0 0 0 0 85.4
4 Robert Griffin III WAS 35 26 3 0 0 1 0 85.3
5 Jay Cutler CHI 24 18 2 0 0 0 0 83.3
Elusive Rating
The evil genius that is Sam Monson was sick of being told who the most elusive backs in the league were, so he created a formula to show the world. Looking at the number of missed tackles a running back forces, and their yards after contact, there truly is nothing quite like it.
# Name Team Touches Yco/Att Total MT Elusive Rating
1 Michael Turner ATL 16 4 12 300.0
2 Brandon Bolden NE 17 4.5 4 105.9
3 Marshawn Lynch SEA 24 3.4 7 99.2
4 Adrian L. Peterson MIN 25 3.76 6 90.3
5 Alfred Morris WAS 22 3.52 5 80.1
Yards Per Route Run
It's all well and good seeing a wide receiver was on the field for a certain amount of snaps, but it's useless information unless you know what type of snaps he was in for. Our Yards Per Route Run Signature Stat lets you know which receivers truly are the most productive (numerically) on a per-route basis.
# Name Team Rec. Yards Snaps in Route YPRR
1 Brian Hartline MIA 253 44 5.75
2 Devin Hester CHI 38 7 5.43
3 Brandon Marshall CHI 138 27 5.11
4 A.J. Green CIN 117 29 4.03
5 Josh Morgan WAS 62 17 3.65
Pass Blocking Efficiency
Sick of hearing comments without substance regarding offensive linemen? Well, settle your stomach by looking at our Pass Blocking Efficiency rankings, available at every offensive line position and for each team's collective unit. It's not just about sacks but who is giving up the most pressure on a per-snap basis. Have a look at this list of the five offensive tackles with the worst scores from Week 4:
# Name Team Pass Block Snaps Total Pressure Allowed PBE
1 Willie Smith OAK 37 9 80.4
2 Bobby Massie ARZ 56 12 81.7
3 Tyson Clabo ATL 47 9 84.0
4 Breno Giacomini SEA 31 6 85.5
5 Byron Bell CAR 28 5 85.7
Pass Rushing Productivity
The first ever PFF Signature Stat, it's grown as we have. It's available at every single defensive position, so if you want, you can check out who the most productive pass rushing corner in the league is. Or, you can focus on the big guns and see which defensive ends may not be getting the sacks but are making life harder for the quarterback consistently. Here's a combined look at the best scores from those who rushed the passer at least 20 times in Week 4:
# Name Team Pass Rush Snaps Total Pressure PRP DEN Elvis Dumervil DEN 29 9 25.0 MIA Cameron Wake MIA 50 13 22.0 CAR Charles Johnson CAR 39 10 21.8 SL Chris Long SL 25 7 21.0 CIN Geno Atkins CIN 35 7 17.4
Run Stop Percentage
Tackle numbers. The bane of my existence. You can have a lot of tackles, but so what if they're coming 10 yards down field when a guy has already done the damage? No, we look at defenders who make defensive stops (plays that don't get enough yards to be considered a win for the offense). Looking exclusively at plays in run defense, our Run Stop Percentage tells you who is making the most stops per running snap on the field. Here's a list of the best scores from all defenders who played more than 20 snaps in the run game this week:
# Name Team Run Snaps Stops Stop %
1 Sean Lee DAL 27 6 22.2%
2 Bryan Scott BUF 33 7 21.2%
3 Jabaal Sheard CLV 20 4 20.0%
3 Brian Cushing HST 20 4 20.0%
3 Jovan Belcher KC 30 6 20.0%
Yards Per Coverage Snap
All cornerbacks give up yards, but some are bound to give up more simply because they spend more plays in coverage. A simple enough solution: create a stat that gives you the average number of yards a cornerback gives up per snap he is in coverage. There's your context, and here are the top scores from Week 4 among those who spent at least 30 snaps in coverage:
# Name Team Snaps Yards Yards / Cover Snap
1 Brandon Browner SEA 32 0 0.00
2 Sterling Moore NE 37 2 0.05
3 Captain Munnerlyn CAR 36 6 0.17
4 Chris Gamble CAR 45 13 0.29
5 Lardarius Webb BLT 49 14 0.29
Statistics are not the be all and end all. They're certainly not as informative or intelligent as our player grades that are also available in our premium section and are part of the product we provide to numerous NFL teams. But, used in the right way, these numbers can add to the conversation, so we'll continue creating stats that provide more context than anything else out there.

The names are familiar to college basketball fans, Jae Crowder, Darius Johnson-Odom, and Jimmy Butler. All three were drafted by the NBA and all three were excellent college players. However all three weren't household names coming out of high school.
That might signal the past in Marquette recruiting because in the present and going forward to the future it looks like more and more highly touted prospects are making their way to Milwaukee to play their college basketball, the latest of those being four-star prospect Jajuan Johnson.
Now with the addition of Johnson, Marquette has a class that currently ranks No. 5 in the country.
While that might be on the surface somewhat risky to go away from a system that has worked in the past, Williams and his staff are being smart. While they are going for a different type of player to fortify their program, they are indeed staying true to their roots.
One common theme in this Marquette class is toughness. The term toughness has absolutely defined the Marquette program since Williams' promotion to the top spot in Milwaukee.
Johnson is a kid from the city of Memphis where you have no choice but to play with toughness and heart on the court. He showed that all summer long with the Bluff City Legends, and that is just the start of things.
The city of Milwaukee is a place where only the strong survive, and three other commitments Duane Wilson, Deonte Burton, and Jameel McKay all come from the city. McKay especially is someone who defines what that basketball culture around Marquette and in Milwaukee is all about.
McKay is one of the highest motor kids around. He plays full-go all the time, and is someone who controls the glass, scores inside, and simply out works opponents. Not very far behind him is Burton. Burton is an elite athlete who loves to use his strength to be physical on defense, attack the rim, and control the glass as a rebounder. On top of that he has the ability to play multiple positions which is something that Williams and his staff love.
Finally there is Wilson, a true tough floor general who plays on and off the ball and went up against the best at his position without backing down for the past two years on the EYBL circuit.
Overall Marquette has done an excellent job of staying true to who they are and what has made them excellent, but at the same time upping the talent level. It isn't easy to do that, but Buzz Williams just found a way and he has a top five class that defines his personality headed to campus.

Oh lovely hotel... Overlooking water, very polite staff. Loved their beach front restaurant. Cant miss the beds, i discovered that Marriott has some sort of standard beds which is way too comfortable.
Me and my family realy enjoyed our vacation here. Henceforth every time i will stay here. The staff is good i liked the resort very much. Its really a good value for the money.
The Goa Marriott is truly a fabulous hotel! Been there for three years in a row now, and boy, the hotel just gets better and better. The guys there really know how to make their guests feel really special and add it up with a whole range of facilities.
The location is amazing, the staff is excellent, I really enjoyed
Nothing great to say We had a very bad experience with the travel desk,as he misguided us when we checked with him regarding cruse dinner,he took Rs.200/- Extra(Actual price Rs.500/- He took Rs.700/- (We were 2,so Rs.400/-) And when we actually visited Santa Monica cruse-they use to charge Rs.500/- With out reference.Secondly,we dint had food except breakfast at Ginger,but,they have charged 3 meal and many thing which booking.com had not informed while booking.We dint pay that,but due that,we missed out flight and came by cab.Any way we enjoyed out side the hotel and thanks to booking.com.
The accessability to other areas, although off the beaten track we were in easy reach of most tourist attractions without too long a taxi journey. The whole atmosphere of the resort does not make the Vainguinim Resort the perfect hideaway as suggested. The hotel is very dated, our first room was not clean and the only option for a more spacious room meant we had to upgrade to a Suite with little effort put into making our stay any more enjoyable. Not only is the food poor but lacks presentation. In general everything just felt like hardwork.

Five Chick-Fil-A protest moves guaranteed to ruffle feathers
Unless you've been living in a basement without electricity, you've heard about the socio-political chicken soup boiling up around Chick-Fil-A, complete with boycotts and "buycotts" inspired by the company president's anti-gay-sex marriage stance. And you've heard about it from one side, then the other, then both again. Gay people are pissed as wet hens, and cock-blocking Chick-Fil-A chicken, while conservative folks are buying chicken sammies en masse.
The next round comes today, with a gay kiss-in at Chick-Fil-A outlets, but there are certain to be many more rounds. Although this definitely qualifies as a polarizing issue, a few basic courtesies should be observed, no matter what side of the controversy you fall on.
Here are the five worst things that people can do as they exercise their Chick-Fil-A first amendment rights:
5. Get violent.
It's easy as cooking up a batch of waffle fries to get caught in a moment of pure anger and lash out at anyone you perceive as threatening you, your family, your lifestyle and/or your cause. Believe me when I say that I've wanted to forcibly cram a few chicken biscuits in a few gobs since this whole controversy started, and it's tempting to spray-paint a few choice phrases across the windows of my local Chick-Fil-A, but not only are those acts seriously immature -- not to mention illegal -- this sort of behavior nullifies your position on the issues you are advocating. Act like you've got some home-training.
4. Leave hateful voice-mail messages. Using your cell phone -- or land line, if you are among the dozen folks who still have one of those -- to express your displeasure is fine, but leaving nasty messages is an ineffective way to produce either dialogue or change, and could be illegal depending on what you say. It's scary to receive threatening messages, and chances are your messages aren't even reaching the person/people you are really pissed at, anyway. A viable alternative? Spew your feelers out on the internet like most people do nowadays, and maybe make a few photo-shopped memes while you are at it. Those are usually pretty funny, especially when chickens or cows are involved. If you are gonna be a mother-clucker, at least be a less-offensive, funny one.
3. Forget that opposing opinions are allowed.
From the perspective of someone who openly and publicly supports rights for same-sex couples, I find it unfathomable how other people don't share my feelings and options. But it's useful for everyone to remember that other people are entitled to have their own feelings, experiences, ideas and opinions, ethics and values, and they have the right to express those just as you do. If we try to force other people to STFU, then we run the risk of being forced to STFU ourselves. It goes both ways, like it or not.Next Page

South Plains College announces Xtreme Karate course beginning in spring 2014
LEVELLAND – South Plains College Physical Education Department will offer a new course, Xtreme Karate beginning in spring 2014. All classes, which will be available throughout the year, will be conducted in Room 106 of the Law Enforcement Building.
The course will focus partially on the tradition and discipline of Shotokan Karate. The basic movements (block, strikes and stances), the kata and the belt ranking will stem from this style. In the defensive tactics and combat training classes, the course will focus more specifically with street-level martial art combat such as Krav Maga and the Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary System which is used today by the U.S. Navy Seals.
"Through dedication and equal training of these different styles, students will gain a great foundation of movement and balance as well as modern defense tactics worthy of self-defense in today's world," said Sonny Borba, instructor.
The classes will meet from noon to 1 p.m. on Fridays for Adult Karate; from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays for Kids Karate (ages 6 to 12); and 11 a.m. to noon for Kids/Adult Defensive Tactics and Combat Training.
For more information and prices, contact Borba at 474-6090.

Thank you for a great drive!
By Delaney Utterback On December 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In KRCC Communique
Dear Friends,
Thank you for a wonderful Winter Membership Campaign! You truly honor us with your support. We're nearing the half-way point in our goal of $200,000, thanks to your generosity. And, as promised, we will end the membership drive on Sunday at 6pm. However, that doesn't mean it's too late to give to KRCC. It's a great time of year to give and get in a final tax-deduction for the year. (We'll be sending year-end receipts in January for your taxes. Donations to KRCC are tax-deductible.)
Even though we didn't meet our fundraising goal while we were on air, I still consider it a great success. Membership drives are always very satisfying because of the increased contact that we have with you. We love to hear your comments and your encouragement. And we truly appreciate the head start we have for our fundraising goal. We're proud to be a part of your day, everyday.
Delaney Utterback
General Manager

So, my last thread about past heroes of TDH has got me thinking about what TDH has meant to me over the past 7 years, and although there have been a lot of ups and downs, I have a lot of great memories. Thought I would share a few significant moments, and thought perhaps some of you might do the same.
First and foremost, TDH has given me something unique that I don't think anyone else here can claim... TDH provided me with the girl of my dreams. Not exactly a "moment" but surely worth noting.
Most of my great moments are more people-centric than about the props themselves....
1) I think about the day I came to the realization that the piece in the back of the helmet was the guts to the MQ-1 and driving home from work to prove it with Lee (Rogue Studios) on the phone, both of us so giddy we could barley talk. I nearly got in a wreck I was driving so fast and then remember slinging into the driveway, running through the house and out to the shop. My fingers would barely work the screwdriver as I tried to get the MQ-1 apart, all the while with Lee in my ear going "Is it the MQ-1? Is it the MQ-1?" Just a really cool moment for me and it was cool to have someone right there to share it with.
2) This is probably a "had to be there" kinda moment, but as I have mentioned before, Tyler Durden and I used to spend countless hours pouring over reference photos, looking for similarities and formulating ideas. A lot of times, these conversations would go until 3:00am or later and as there was often alcohol involved, as it got later, and later, things usually began to get a bit fuzzy. I remember one night we were completely done when Dan mentioned something about Boba's boots and I replied, in all seriousness "Boba Fetts got boots?" Dan has never ever let me forget that one and it has come to be our standard response for *** moments.
3) Last spring I flew out to Texas for the JB project unveiling thanks to Spidey Fett, Fett Pride, and Darthmiller. We had initially planned to snap a few photos, but that morphed into a full on professional photo shoot. I was so nervous because there were tons of people watching (usually I don't like or allow onlookers at my shoots as it is very distracting) and I really wanted things to work out well. The guys had done such a great job on the suit and Jeremy looked good in it, but lets face it, it has been a lot of years and I was really worried the shoot was going to go badly. Jeremy put on the helmet and the moment he posed will be marked in my mind forever, because it was immediately BOBA FETT. Time just stopped for a second and I thought, here I am, a practical nobody, and I am doing a professional shoot for Boba Fett. Was a truly awesome moment for me.
OK, so there are three great moments for me that would have never happened had it not been for TDH. What are some of yours?

The Final Fax of Chuck Bukowski
Yep, Bukowski had a fax machine. And he used it to send what became his last poem to his publisher at Black Sparrow. Booktryst has the goods. We'll begin with the poem, then a bit of back story. Make the jump for the rest:
oh, forgive me For Whom the Bell Tolls,
oh, forgive me Man who walked on water,
oh, forgive me little old woman who lived in a shoe,
oh, forgive me the mountain that roared at midnight,
oh, forgive me the dumb sounds of night and day and death,
oh, forgive me the death of the last beautiful panther,
oh, forgive me all the sunken ships and defeated armies,
this is my first FAX POEM.
It's too late:
I have been
We wondered about it and asked John Martin for insight.
"On February 18, 1994 Hank had a fax machine installed at his home. He sent me his first fax message in the form of that poem. I'm sure he visualized sending me his future letters and poems via fax, but sadly 18 days later he was gone.
"I ran off nine photocopies of the fax, for a total of ten, and numbered and initialed them. Over the next few months and years I gave copies to individuals who were Bukowski collectors and regular customers of Black Sparrow. I think I gave away the last one more than 10 years ago.
"That poem has never been published (except as described here) and the poem has never been collected in a book."

A Bug Alert For Breakfast Cereal
Extra raisins may lure breakfast-cereal buyers. But one additive doesn't: bug parts. "It's a matter of sanitation," says University of Texas at Austin chemist Barrie Kitto. "The more insects you find, the more likely there is contamination from other pests, like rodents."
Current standards permit 75 insect fragments per 50-gram grain sample. But conventional visual inspection misses insect eggs and larvae inside grain kernels. So Kitto developed a simple $5 test for myosin, a protein present at all stages of an insect's life. A specially treated plastic stick is dipped in a blend of grain and saline solution. The more myosin present, the greener the stick turns. Just two micrograms of myosin in a kilo of wheat can be detected, says Kitto. Major companies such as ConAgra, Pillsbury, and Cargill are evaluating the test.

A Chinese communist official has been kicked out of the party after footage emerged of him apparently stroking a woman's naked thigh on a train.
Wang Qikang, 38, has also been sacked from his job at a travel agency after the video clip, in which he allegedly assaulted the 21-year-old woman on a metro train in Shanghai, was shared online.
In the clip filmed by train passengers, he can be seen looking at the woman, who is wearing shorts, before reaching out to touch her and quickly stroking the top of her leg. He then abruptly turns back to look at his phone just as she appears to react.
He reportedly told police he had been sleeping when he 'accidentally' touched the woman on June 29.
Officers put him under administrative detention, an action less serious than criminal punishment which they sometimes use for those who they deem 'socially undesirable'.
They said he had been drinking when the incident happened.
He was later released without charge, according to reports on china.org.cn.
Wang was an executive at the state-owned Jinjiang Shanghai Travel Agency.
He was tracked down by web users through a co-ordinated online search after footage of the incident was uploaded to weibo.com.
He claims he has since become the target of abusive phone calls at the home he shares with his wife.

If the feds would build a damned fence, we wouldn't have to deal with this for very long. But instead, they do nothing....
This is a discussion on immigration bill within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Originally Posted by boatail Hopyard, Reading your posts makes it obvious that you have no problems with the " papers please " aspect of this, ...
What you all are failing to see is that this law creates an unequal burden on citizens similarly situated. It thus is a violation of the 14th.
While you state that were my wife to be harassed by this you would be the first to stand up (thank you), no one can provide any reason to think that things like that won't happen. And, why should she be put at risk but not me? Why should Glockman10 not be put at risk but perhaps his wife would be ? (I think he said she is naturalized.)
The reason no assurance of false arrest under this law can be given is because the law is deeply flawed and provides no definition of "reasonable suspicion."
I strongly prefer that no US citizen be required to carry papers, including to get on an airplane. I have been on this earth well long enough to remember that the only thing required to board was your ticket-- unless you were leaving the country. I remember when a driver's license was about DRIVING, and not about identity. If you have misconstrued my comment as being in favor of "paper please" you haven't really been paying attention to what I write here.
One of the most pernicious aspects of the illegal alien mess is that it is driving us all to transform our society in a way I think the majority really don't want it to go. There has been justified opposition to Real ID; there has been justified opposition to in-land immigration check points along highways; there is almost uniform belief that the illegal alien problem must be dealt with; and, I am not particularly in favor of amnesty except in the most dire of humanitarian need. That said, dumping on the rights of everyone and leaving the safety of everyone who happens to look different to the whim of what an individual officer might think is reasonable, is wrong. It isn't that I think most officers are not capable of being good judges on these matters. It is that I know, and innumerable stories in these forums testify to this, that many LEs will not use sound judgment--even really good ones will make errors. And then, as I have pointed out earlier, ICE is too inefficient as an organization to be relying on them for rapidly resolving disputed claims of US citizenship.
The day will come when a US citizen wrongfully ensnared by this stupid law will have to file a habeas corpus petition in Federal Court to get out of Sheriff Joe's tent. Mark my words on that.
And also, when that happens if this law is allowed to stand, there will be huge negative consequences for AZ.
If the feds would build a damned fence, we wouldn't have to deal with this for very long. But instead, they do nothing....
Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde; Beware the anger of a patient man.
Well, while it goes a tad counter to my philosophy, I'd be willing to get a chip. Works for my dog (not intended as sarcasm) and there are some folks who have had themselves chipped.
Something must be done, everyone agrees on that. The Feds have long ago dropped this ball. Everyone agrees on that.
It seems to me that the main fault lies with employers. A few years ago I contracted with a "good" company to get a roof redone. The work got subcontracted. None of the roofers who actually showed to do the work appeared to me to be legal. And the boss kept talking about his property in Mexico. I wasn't happy.
The problem though, I really don't know if those guys were legal or not. I had my suspicion, but not sufficient to get on the contractor.
I have seen the very same problem with contractors hired to do work on Federal government buildings. The contract terms are explicit that the workers must be lawfully allowed to work. Yet, the folks who show to do the work, who knows? My guess, not legal.
We are stuck as a society between a rock and a hard place and no one knows what to do. Sad, isn't it.
The only way to possibly solve this issue is going to be "painful".
"bubba's ideas"
1. Build a fence, wall, moat, whatever will make a enforceable border.
2. No money transfers from the U.S. to Mexico.
3. If a person is arrested, they must show proof of citizenship. Even if it's only a misdemeanor.
4. Trying to open a bank account, proof of citizenship required.
5. Applying for a job,same as above.
6. Hospital admission same as above.
7. Child born in the U.S. to illegal parent or parents, not a citizen.
8. Applying for S.S.,disability,welfare,drivers lic., any interaction with a local,state or federal agency, proof of citizenship required.
9. Once it's determined you are a illegal, you have no rights as a citizen.You will be treated humanly but thats all.
10.You will be deported by busload or trainload to the border. It won't be pleasant but.... oh well.
Aside from a few of my ideas I think these ideas are pretty much the Law. Just enforce them.
OK, just spent the day researching this law, and still yet, talking with several people who are legal residents[green cards] and full fledged citizens. I was amazed that they are supportive of this law. There take on it was that they came here because they love this country, and want to be a part of it. Further more, they all expressed a disappointment that our goverment was taking it so easy on those here illegally. My wife is from South Africa, and she said, you know, I never had rights until I came here, and now that I have them, I want to protect them, and all for ridding this country of those who are here illegally and draining this countrys resources. Now, she is a BOER, a descendent of the early Dutch settlers to SA, and being white would not have to worry about racial profiling based on skin color, but she does have a HEAVY Afrikans accent. But it does seem that even those of Hispanic orgin support this. After reading the law and speaking with people whom I felt it could hurt, I now feel very good about this, in the sense that I do not feel it will infringe or otherwise violate people it is not supposed to. Oh one more thing, SatCong, you are improving. Your ability to make complete sentences is getting better.
I just spoke with some of my recently Americanized workers. They told me "yeah it's racist, but so what? I'm over here and my wife is over here, close the damn border."
I don't support this law because I'm half hispanic and it makes me feel like ****. Would you want to be second class citizen? No. But you're not going to be, you're not in this situation. So who cares right?
There has to be a better way. I know it's really taxing our resources but I know plenty of perfectly healthy black and white people (usually single mothers) who eat up our tax dollars and sit around all day.
Why are we still screwing around in Afgan. instead of working on our borders and increasing our industrial trade?
Can anyone name me any law that cannot be misused or not properly enforced absolutely 100% of the time? Has no innocent person ever been mistakenly arrested for supposedly violating any other law? Is the enforcement of this law to be held to some unachievable standard for some reason?

I have previously mentioned a few items on this list, but this is more complete. I was thinking of making a more concise list for myself, but you saved me the trouble.
1. Build a fence, wall, moat, whatever will make a enforceable border. I would love to see a giant double layer fence with electronic monitoring. This needs to be done for both borders. It will be very painful and expensive, but it can help our unemployment problem. Also we should move 50-75% of our military bases to along the borders and have the border manned and patrolled by our military. None of the remaining suggestions will help at all if we leave the borders open
2. No money transfers from the U.S. to Mexico. I see your thinking on this, and I like the idea but this would be very difficult, if not impossible. There is a ton of legal business that requires transferring money, plus they would just transfer to another country first before going to Mexico.
3. If a person is arrested, they must show proof of citizenship. Even if it's only a misdemeanor. This is something they should be doing already. If they aren't, how do they ID the people they bring in?
4. Trying to open a bank account, proof of citizenship required. This is already required with the SS #
5. Applying for a job,same as above. This is required with the Federal I-9 form. Or at least it used to be, I'm not positive. It's been a long time since I applied for a job.
6. Hospital admission same as above. This is already required with the SS #
7. Child born in the U.S. to illegal parent or parents, not a citizen. Agreed. Sorry, but this child will have to back to their home country with the parents.
8. Applying for S.S.,disability,welfare,drivers lic., any interaction with a local,state or federal agency, proof of citizenship required. I'm pretty sure this is already required as well for SS, disability and welfare as part of the SS # check. If it isn't, whoever left that loophole open should be strung up by their heels.
9. Once it's determined you are a illegal, you have no rights as a citizen.You will be treated humanly but thats all. You will be deported by busload or trainload to the border. It won't be pleasant but.... oh well. I merged your 9 and 10 because one is just a continuation of the other. I think we should swallow the expense of an armed escort to the border. I doubt we could just put them on a bus and trust them to leave.
In addition, I believe this list does need a #10.
10. Hefty fines for companies that knowingly hire illegal aliens or circumvent the citizenship tests and jail time for the individuals responsible for hiring them (meaning hiring managers, contractors, individual homeowners). Without removing the source of income, they will find a way into the country. Without real consequences, many businesses will continue to profit from illegal labor.
64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
Why shouldn't we force Tyson to employ American citizens? That would certainly help our 10% unemployment.
Why shouldn't we force Tyson to stop recruiting and busing illegal immigrants across the border to work below minimum wage?
Why shouldn't we expect law enforcement to enforce the law?
Immigrant reform must be looked at with the same mindset that one needs in order to kill an Ivy Plant. The employers are the root. The illegal immigrants are the vines.
If you've every tried to kill an Ivy plant you know that you just can rip off the vines and expect the plant to stop growing. Similarly, you can't just cut the plant from the root and expect the vines to die. In order to get rid of an Ivy plant you must kill the root and rip out all the vines.

Hi delg,
Well my P95 DC was my first carry category semi and I used it for some time. It is a fugly gun - quite chunky too - but it shoots and eats all it is fed - it's tough and well accurate enough.
Then there is price - IMO a very good value gun and not to be dismissed at all - something a bit over $300 IIRC will be a street price on one and used maybe pick one up $250 or less.
It sure is not my fave gun, the SIG has taken that slot but if all I had as a carry piece on a limited budget, I would feel very adequately armed with it. If at all possible try and sample one to shoot - I find the Hogue handalls make mine feel better for grip.

here's mine : Q : why did the cow jump over the moon ? A : because the farmer's hands were cold
A bloke's wife goes missing while diving off the West Australian Coast
He reports the event, searches fruitlessly and spends a terrible night wondering what could have happened to her.
Next morning there's a knock at the door and he is confronted by a couple of policemen, the old Sarge and a younger Constable.
The Sarge says, 'Mate, we have some news for you, unfortunately
some really bad news, but, some good news, and maybe some more good news'.
'Well,' says the bloke, 'I guess I'd better have the bad news first?'
Young Bill here found her lying at about five fathoms in a little cleft in the reef. He got a line around her and we pulled her up, but she was dead.'
The bloke is naturally distressed to hear of this and has a bit of a turn.
But after a few minutes he pulls himself together and asks what the good news is.
The Sarge says, 'Well when we got your wife up there were quite a few really good sized lobsters and a swag of nice crabs attached to her, so we've brought you your share.'
He hands the bloke a bag with a couple of nice lobsters and four or five crabs in it. 'Geez thanks. They're bloody beauties. I guess it's an ill wind and all that…
So what's the other possible good news?
'Well', the Sarge says, 'if you fancy a quick trip, me and young Bill here get off duty at around 11 o'clock and we're gonna shoot over there and pull her up again!

Candy's success is sweet revenge
"Sexy, sassy, loud, vivacious"
Candy Bowers.
Photo: Sahlan Hayes
CANDY BOWERS wasn't far into her acting course at the National Institute of Dramatic Art when she began to wonder why she kept getting cast as the mother.
"One day this lecturer told me I would never play Ophelia because of the way I looked," she says.
Maybe that lecturer will see B Sharp's production of Duck, Stella Feehily's play about two women growing up in Dublin. The director, Kate Gaul, has cast Bowers in the lead role, busting a few preconceptions about what a wee Irish lass might look like.
"For this sort of role, Kate saw sexy, sassy, loud, vivacious. She saw me," says Bowers, 29, whose parents are from South Africa.
Bowers is certainly not short on chutzpah. As one half of the super-successful hip-hop comedy duo Sista She, she has charmed audiences across Australia with a blend of rapping, dancing and hilarious jokes at the expense of Aussie hip-hop. Her Sista She character, Rasheda Eda MC (partnered on stage by Sarah Ward, aka Sheila MC Eila) is a B-girl from the 'burbs who don't take no shit from nobody.
At the other end of the confidence scale is the young barmaid Cat, Bowers's character in Duck. Cat is tough, but feels trapped by life in suburban Dublin.
Mistreated by her boyfriend, misunderstood by her family and manipulated by her older lover, Cat finds solace in her best mate, Sophie. Together, the pair tackle life's big problems by partying.
Unable to escape her situation, Cat puts up with a lot. Bowers says she knows what that's like.
"I know that feeling from growing up in Campbelltown. I go back there and see girls who are still checkout chicks there. It's so scary."
Portraying Cat's journey from entrapment to freedom meant facing some dark moments in her own history.
"There are points I have resisted, where men are possessing her [Cat] and she doesn't know her own strength," Bowers says. "There are parts of my life where I have been vulnerable or allowed myself to be an object, parts I don't want to drag up again. But every woman goes through it and some guys as well. To think that if you can just get by, you can give that little bit of yourself away but you'll cope. [To think] 'He calls me a bitch but it's all right', you keep coping and pressing it down. I know I have done that in my life in relationships."
Bowers's star is on the rise. She starred in B Sharp's production of In the Blood last year, continues to write and direct her own plays and hopes one day to work in film overseas. Sista She is powering along, attracting big audiences at the Big Day Out, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. If any further proof was needed of Bowers's success, Sista She were even hired for a private performance at a bar mitzvah.
"The whole thing is about how a boy becomes a man at age 13 and it was very difficult not to take the piss out of that concept," she says. "Although it was at Federation Square [in Melbourne] so it wasn't your everyday, average barmy. There were ice sculptures that cost more than we did that night."
Duck opens at the Seymour Centre on Friday.

Baidu's Robin Li is Now the Richest Man in ChinaBy
Robin Li, the man who beat Google in China, is now the country's richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Li's net worth has increased $4.8 billion this year to over $12.2 billion, putting Li ahead of the former No. 1, Dalian Wanda Group chairman Wang Jianlin. Just two weeks ago, Li claimed the No. 2 spot.
The leaders of other Chinese Internet companies such as Alibaba's Jack Ma and Tencent's Pony Ma need to be concerned about Li's rise. His wealth is tied to Baidu's stock price, and he has rocketed up the billionaires list because investors are increasingly confident that Baidu has the right formula for the new era of Chinese e-commerce.
As more Chinese go online with their smartphones and tablets rather than PCs, Li has been focusing on revamping Baidu's business. Baidu has more than 80 percent of the search market in China, but since the company's users typically went to Baidu on computers, investors had worried about competition in mobile. Adding to their worries was the sense that Baidu was not moving fast enough from its reliance on PCs.
They had good reason to be concerned. Li has admits that he initially underestimated the importance of adapting search for smartphones and tablets. "I refused to do a lot on mobile Internet until around 2009," he told Bloomberg TV in an October interview. "But because we didn't start early, it took us some time to figure out what's the important thing, what's the most relevant thing for Baidu."
Nobody should say Li isn't sufficiently focused on mobile now, though. He has directed a series of acquisitions designed to boost Baidu's presence on smartphones and tablets. The biggest was the purchase of mobile app store 91 Wireless for $1.85 billion, which Baidu announced on July 16. That was the priciest deal in Chinese cyberspace history.
Since then, Baidu's stock price has jumped 64 percent. On Nov. 28, the previous owner of 91 Wireless, Hong Kong-listed NetDragon, announced results for the three months ending September, the last quarter before Baidu takes control of the wireless business. Revenue for 91 Wireless increased 203.8 percent from a year earlier, to 261.5 million yuan ($43 million). "We believe Baidu's lastest mobile strategies and efforts to strengthen its overall mobile Internet position and to improve its monetization capability have been proven to be working," Barclays analysts wrote in a report published on Friday.
A year ago, Baidu seemed to be in trouble, with new search competitor Qihoo threatening to take more market share. Thanks to Li's focus on mobile, the new Chinese search market may end up just like the old Chinese search market: with Baidu at the top and all others competing for scraps.

White Sox, Jeff Keppinger ink three-year deal
The White Sox have shored up their infield by signing Jeff Keppinger to a three-year contract.
|Jeff Keppinger's latest stop may be in Chicago. (US Presswire)
CBSSports.com Insider Jon Heyman reports that the White Sox have signed infielder Jeff Keppinger to a three-year, $12-million contract.
Keppinger, age 32, is coming off a season in which he hit .325/.367/.439 in 418 plate appearances for the Rays. For his career, Keppinger owns a slash line of .288/.337/.396, so he's useful by the standards of his positions.
While Keppinger is capable of manning all four infield positions and thus providing valuable depth and flexibility, it's quite possible that the White Sox will install him as their regular third baseman. After all, Chicago third-sackers last season combined to "hit" a miserable .201/.286/.314, so there's a manifest need.

Thin Watches
What To Wear Now: The Ultra-Thin Watch
One of the biggest problems, though, is the mainspring, which powers the entire watch. The thinner a watch is, the flatter the mainspring is, and the less power available to keep the watch running well (and running long enough to satisfy the owner). Because mainsprings in extra-flat watches are so thin themselves, everything else in the watch has to be made to the highest degree of precision possible, so as to lose as little energy as possible to friction.
Piaget's taken some radical steps to get the 900P so thin. For one thing, you might notice we haven't mentioned how thin the movement is. That's because there is no movement in the usual sense (that of a mechanism enclosed in a case). Instead, the actual back of the case is part of the movement — inside, it's been milled out to accommodate the gears for timekeeping, the parts for setting the hands and the gears that move the hands. Another radical step is that all the gears for keeping time aren't under the dial. They're actually on the same level, which is why they're visible through the front of the watch (think of a two-layer cake, with one whole layer removed).
Though Piaget currently holds the record for extra-thin watches, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention a few others that we think are, while not record holders, some of the most beautifully elegant watches a man can pair with business or formal attire. Among our favorites are two from Vacheron Constantin: the Heritage 1955 and 1968 (hand-wound and self-winding, respectively), which are deliciously thin dress watches of unsurpassed sophistication in design. (That same company has also just come out with the world's thinnest minute repeater, which can be yours if you have around $350,000 burning a hole in your pocket; and if you do, you'd better move fast because three of the four they'll make this year are already sold.)
Breguet, the company founded by the man who invented the tourbillon, has just come out with the world's thinnest self-winding tourbillon (a fantastic feat of engineering), and rising star Arnold & Son has just introduced the world's thinnest current production hand-wound tourbillon.
But while extra-thin complicated watches have a fascination all their own (and prices to match), one of the finest and most classic of all extra-flat watches is still affordable to almost anyone who loves watches: the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin. The Master Ultra Thin uses a movement, made by Jaeger-LeCoultre, which makes several other extra-thin watches possible. It's still available for well under $10,000 in steel, and if you're lucky enough to own one, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that one of the undisputed masterpieces of discreet elegance in fine watchmaking is on your wrist.
Did you know? You may have noticed us using the terms "extra flat," "extra thin" and so on more or less interchangeably. There's a reason for that. Interestingly enough, there is no universally agreed-on definition of an extra-thin or extra-flat watch. The most definitive professional dictionary in watchmaking, the Berner Dictionary of Horology, merely says — with a very Swiss straight face — that an extra-flat watch is "... one which is extremely flat."

Strategies of State Mental Health Agencies to Prevent and End Homelessness
National Alliance to End Homelessness
Report | December 3, 2009
Files: PDF | 395 KB | 24 pages
Share \|
Over the past 30 years, mental health services for people with serious mental illness have shifted from institutional settings (e.g., state mental hospitals) to care in the community. This shift is largely due to deinstitutionalization, the effectiveness of new treatments, and federal financial incentives for community-based care through federal programs, such as Medicaid.
This transformation has been beneficial for millions of people and led to advances in how our society treats those living with mental illness.
Unfortunately, there is still a gap that leads to homelessness for far too many people. This gap has resulted from mental health agencies' historical lack of expertise or ability to adequately address consumers' housing needs; and conversely, housing providers' (including the homeless services community) inability to effectively address mental health service needs. But this gap is closing, largely due to the emergence of the Housing First concept and the permanent supportive housing model for serving people with intensive service needs, such as those with serious mental illness.
Some strategies include:
Research and practice have shown that permanent supportive housing and Housing First work because housing is an essential part of treatment. People with serious mental illness need safe, stable, and affordable housing before their mental health needs can be fully addressed and recovery truly realized. As an added bonus, many localities are also showing that the provision of housing to this population is cost-effective.
This issue brief highlights the work of ten state mental health agencies with exemplary efforts in this area – California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington – along with recommendations on how states can implement these efforts themselves. While each state agency is unique in its approach to addressing homelessness, numerous key strategies emerged from guided interviews with state mental health agency directors and their staffs.

My question is two-fold. I am using the Brave theme, which comes with it's own Google Fonts in the settings panel. Trouble is, my client wants to use a font not included in the settings. I have installed a Google Fonts plugin which includes the font, but there seems to be a conflict when viewing the pages in Firefox or IE. The questions: Does anyone know a way to add fonts to the Brave Theme Google Fonts plugin? Or does any one know a way to disable the plugin so I can use the 3rd party Google Fonts plugin?
Hello The author of the may know how to troubleshoot this one. Here is their support page – http://themeforest.net/item/brave-clean-responsive-multipurpose-theme/5119897/support It looks like they have a separate support system all set up. I'm sure they'll be able to help Thanks!
Actually, the staff answered this offline: 1. Disabling the theme fonts. It is easy, please open up the framework/inc_content.php file and remove there google font initialing as in this image: http://d.pr/i/ouoH
2. Extending theme fonts. If you open up the framework\theme-options\options_google-fonts.php, you'll see the font array. Probably you add your new font there and use regular theme options on your site.
I used option 2, and was very successful. I was then able to deactivate the 3rd party plugin. Thanks!

Newman 101
Newman 101, by Roderick Strange, is an introduction to the life and thought of John Henry Cardinal Newman. As a Catholic-turned-Anglican-turned-Catholic I have a soft spot in my heart for Newman, the more so as he had the good sense to swim the Tiber once only. At the same time, I've not known much about him, and got this book to remedy my lack.
The short version of Newman's life is that he was an Oxford professor and a devout Anglo-Catholic. In pursuing Anglicanism as a branch of the ancient Catholic (i.e., "universal") church, he found himself inexorably drawn across the Tiber, noting that "To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant." He became a member of the Roman Catholic church, and was ordained a priest, at a time when to be a Catholic in England was a very difficult thing. He was a great thinker, and his thoughts on the development of Catholic doctrine were influential on the conciliar fathers of Vatican II.
Much of his Catholic life was difficult; he was balked in many worthwhile projects, and was often misunderstood. He bore up under his misfortunes in a manner that is perhaps best described by the modern "psalm" the Anchoress shared with us today:
We take each day as it comes
Sometimes I hate my life
But mostly things are good
His exterior life was often hard and painful, but inwardly he was always greatly aware of God's blessings.
The other thing I note about him is that although he was of an intellectual bent, and tirelessly followed the thread of truth like a bloodhound, seeking the truth was not for him a purely intellectual endeavor. The truth is to be sought with the mind and also with the heart—a thing that was also true, though it is easy to forget it, of my beloved St. Thomas Aquinas.
So what about Strange's book? I dunno. I learned many things about Newman from it, but I don't feel like I ever really came to grips with the man himself. Certainly I didn't dislike it; but I had higher hopes for it.
To be fair, I wasn't reading it under the best of circumstances, so I'm inclined to give the author a bit of slack. I'll no doubt give it another try at some point in the future…unless I simply go back and make another attempt at Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua.

My real question is why the police weren't there before he had to shoot the guy. Everyone says that if you call 911, you don't need a gun because the police respond immediately. </sarcasm>

An altercation in Conroe Friday morning led to the third fatal shooting in Montgomery County in less than a month that could test the recently enacted "Castle Doctrine."
Police said a disagreement between two men in a local bar transitioned to angry text messages after the bar closed, then escalated to a physical confrontation that resulted in gunfire at an apartment.
Conroe police said 25-year-old Austin Revel Cargill allegedly shot and killed Jordan Robert Eakins, 26, around 2:45 a.m. at Cargill's residence in the Forest Creek Apartments off of North Loop 336.
Conroe Police Sgt. Bob Berry said Cargill was answering questions, but no charges have been filed.
"Once we received his statement, compared it with the evidence at the scene and presented the case to the District Attorney's intake division, it was concluded that there would be no arrest at this time," Berry said. "So far, the information we have is consistent and reasonable to believe in this case the complainant (Cargill) acted within the scope of the law."
A grand jury will hear the case and determine what, if any, charges will be filed. It was the county's third fatal shooting in less than a month that could test the Castle Law, or Senate Bill 378, which went into effect in Texas Sept. 1 and extends people's rights to use deadly force without retreat for self-defense purposes in their home, vehicle or workplace.
Berry would not comment on the Castle Law, stating CPD was not going to label the case as such.
On Nov. 25, Montgomery resident Paul Smith Sr. allegedly shot and killed Clark "Corky" Dennis during a heated confrontation in Smith's yard between the two neighbors regarding reckless driving in their neighborhood, Old Oak Estates.
A few days later, on Nov. 29, a Porter resident also used deadly force. After repeated thefts of large recyclable items from his property, 60-year-old Gary Southworth shot and killed a man on his property.
Those cases are not expected to go before a grand jury until at least late January.
Berry said it has not been determined what caused Friday's fatal confrontation. While the Police Department would not release the text messages exchanged, Berry said Eakins threatened to harm Cargill in the messages.
Eakins allegedly went to Cargill's residence and "began causing a disturbance at the front door of his apartment," which Berry said was confirmed by witnesses as well as the first 9-1-1 call made by Cargill.
"Cargill advised Eakins to leave and to stop beating on his door, then Cargill observed Eakins walk down the stairs in front of the apartment," Berry said. "Cargill unlocked the door and opened the door to see if Eakins was gone, which is when Eakins allegedly charged up the stairs and confronted Cargill in the doorway."
Berry said Cargill went back inside and warned Eakins not to come inside, saying he had a gun.
"Eakins allegedly lunged at Cargill through the open door and began to assault Cargill, causing both subjects to land on the floor," Berry said. "Cargill was still holding the weapon and was able to shoot the victim in the torso."
Cargill fired seven shots into Eakins with his Smith and Wesson .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol, Berry said.
He then called 9-1-1 a second time at 2:45 a.m. and said he shot the intruder, Berry said.
Medics transported Eakins to Conroe Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Lanny Moriarty ordered an autopsy.
Cargill had superficial injuries supporting his claim he was attacked, Berry said.
Investigators interviewed witnesses at Molly's Pub, located on North Loop 336, where the conflict allegedly started. Manager Daniel Hallock said he was shocked about the shooting. He said Eakins was a regular customer and liked by everyone.
"I've known Jordan for years," Hallock said. "He was a very laid-back, nice guy."
Hallock could not remember Cargill but said he and other employees agreed the name was familiar.
What surprised Hallock most, he said, was hearing police say the problem started at Molly's.
"Nothing happened here. There was no fight, no brawl, no altercation," he said. "As far as I know, he left here just fine and didn't seem intoxicated."
Hallock was so troubled by the news, he questioned his staff, including the bartender.
"I looked at (Eakins') tab, and he didn't drink very much," he said.
Berry said officers did not detect the odor of alcohol on Cargill or believe he was intoxicated.
Wow, talk about testosterone posturing.

Text messages aside, Eakins assaulted Cargill in his home. It sounds like he got what he was asking for!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
Pick a fight with me in my home, you lose! AM licensed embalmer and dead bodies do not frighten me at all..and to see one more, no big deal! Yeah he got what he deserved..
Stupid move was opening his door to a known aggressor to "see if Eakins was gone".
If he's no longer banging on your door then he's gone. Wait for the police to knock on your door.
Seeing if he was gone had a 50/50 result. Either he was gone and all is well. Or he was not gone and there would be an attack to defend against first hand, hand to hand. And that is exactly what happened. He played the odds and lost.
Cargill is extremely fortunate that Eakins was not armed with say a pocket knife. If he had been he, Cargill, would have been the person being referred to n the article as DOA.
This should be a lesson for us all.
Stay in your home behind a tough to breech door as opposed to letting down your defenses for no good nor sensible reason at all, and as a result of that choice to make an ill advised tactical error find yourself gambling with your life and that of another.
He may not be charged with a crime criminally (which he should not be IMHO), but Eakins' descendants may make their own choice to go after Cargill in civil court. Defense against as much costs time and money, which will not be refunded. Even if that does not occur he'll still have to deal with the psychological trauma of having been assaulted in his doorway, as a result of his own bad choice, and having killed a person.

This has nothing to do with the new laws that came into effect on Sept 1. Texans didn't have to retreat in their own homes prior to the new legislation either.
The new legislation took away the duty to retreat from ANY place where you had a right to be. Used to be if you were outside of your home, you had a duty to retreat. After Sep 1, that no longer applies.
The new legislation also protects the victim from civil suits, too! So,,,,, the idiots descendants cannot sue the victim in civil court. That's why it's such a great law. Why should the victim have to pay for the idiots stupidity. THIS LAW PROTECTS THE GOOD GUYS!!!!
Texans do not have to cower in their homes or be prisoners in their own homes because this law is on their side and not the criminals side.
AGAIN,,,,,,,,,,,, we all need to get behind this type of law and speak up for it and the good guys to the jury and voter pools! The pendulum is swinging back to common sense and we should be helping it.
Those states with Kennedys, Kerrys, Schumers, Clintons, Boxers, Feinsteins,Daleys,Bloombergs, etc., who wish to make the residents of their respective states subjects, will always fight this type of law because it means they will not be able to wield power over their subjects.
