Ideas To Make Your Racing Safer
Today's racing often sees the involvement of family members, friends, and co-workers. The environment is much different than what we see in our everyday lives in that it is inherently dangerous. A lot can, and often does, go wrong. Let's explore the subject of pit safety to see if we can instill basic preventative measures in your routine to help avoid accidents.
Most industries are self regulated, if not governmentally regulated as to safety standards. To our knowledge, auto racing is not universally regulated. That means that for every track you go to, there may or may not be rules concerning track and pit safety.
Depending on the individual track or sanctioning body, the involvement with dictating safety rules is, in a word, varied. Individually, we must adopt our own safety rules to take with us so that we can prevent injury to ourselves and others and survive to enjoy this great sport.
Pit safety involves procedures and equipment. In years past, it could be argued that sufficient safety equipment was not available to protect us, but procedural arguments would never hold up. We've always had a brain.
Here is a list of problem areas with pit safety and some discussion on how to make things less problematic.
Crushing Injuries
If you've been involved with working on a race car, you have had your fingers pinched, parts dropped on your toes, and so on. The worst-case scenario is to have a car dropped on you while under it. Jackstands are a no-brainer for working under a car. Never rely on a floor jack to safely support a car while someone is under it.
If you see a crewmember go under a car without jackstands in place, put them there yourself. Trust me, you will be a hero if the jack gives way. You will be a zero if you stand there and do nothing and someone gets seriously injured because of inaction. As with most items of track safety, we must constantly be aware of potential dangers around us that involve not only ourselves, but others as well.
Cuts are annoying and almost never require medical attention. Every now and then, stitches are needed, but other than that, we go on. That being said, cuts can be avoided by using pit gloves, arm protection, or basically ensuring that sharp edges are covered or removed.
I had a crew that went so far as to insist that the tie-wrap ends be cut off close to the female end with a razor blade to avoid the sharp corners that come from using diagonal pliers, which will cut you every time. This attention to safety detail was commendable.
Getting run over by a race car or service vehicle is fairly rare, but it does happen. If you are walking in the pits and not continually looking around and behind you, you are an accident waiting to happen. If you are with someone who is not familiar with pit protocol, keep a close eye on that person and give him or her instructions on how to conduct him or herself.
I had the opportunity to save a person from serious injury at Charlotte one year when a fast-moving Cup car was turning into its garage space and a dummy turned into its path. I instinctively grabbed his arm and jerked him clear at the last second. The difference in walking away and being carried away was only about four tenths of a second. Be aware at all times
Burns and Fires
The subject of burns can run the gamut from hot header and brake rotor burns to fuel fires. Most tracks and sanctioning bodies require a fire extinguisher to be present at all times in the pit area. I have looked around during many events and not seen a fire extinguisher.
In Grand Am racing, when a team is moving fuel or fueling the car, the persons doing the work must have full fire-protection suits on at all times. Most bodies require all pit crewmembers to wear firesuits during a race, and some require helmets.
Pit fires happen fast and must be dealt with immediately. Put a fire bottle near your pit where anyone can get to it quickly. It only takes a minute of someone's time and may save someone from a lifetime of pain and disfigurement.
A pit blunder is when someone does something that is stupid by all accounts and someone gets injured. It could be as simple as forgetting to put the car in gear or as serious as leaving a tire unattended while inflating.
Tire accidents happen. A few years ago, at a track we will not name and under one of the most strict sanctioning bodies we also will not name, a young rookie racer was allowed to air up the tires. He attached a lock-on hose end to the tire and walked away.
When he returned, the tire was seriously overinflated and he attempted to remove the air hose. That was about the time the tire exploded off the rim and took a large part of his arm and shoulder with it. He died.
Look out for novices in the pits. They just don't understand the dangers. They need looking after and instruction, as opposed to being left to learning the hard way. The hard way can sometimes be fatal.
Every once in a while, someone falls off a hauler or trips over a jack handle or jackstand. Most of these types of injuries come from moving too fast. Do you ever see a crewmember who cannot slow down? Everything they do is in a hurry, as if lives depended on getting the task at hand done.
Lives are dependent on the speed of doing tasks, but in reverse. The old saying, "a stitch in time saves nine (could be surgical stitches)" could be applied to racing activities. Running through the pits is never recommended and, if necessary, should be done carefully. If you have a crewmember who insists on running everywhere, talk him into slowing down. Save the speed for the pit stops where it is both appropriate and welcomed.
Electrical Shocks
Electrical shocks are also fairly rare. Race teams work with electrical power tools that are often run by generators. A modern generator produces enough power to kill a person.
Every hurricane season, reports of persons being seriously injured from electrical shocks due to improper use of a generator surface. That means it can and does happen. Inspect electrical cords, use grounded tools and wires, and avoid water.
Track outlets are outdoor fixtures and only as safe as the weather. Again, avoid wet conditions and unplug all power tools if it starts to rain. The use of gloves may provide insulation from electrical shocks.
The Live Pit Dangers
The most dangerous place and time would have to be in the hot pits while the race is in progress. When cars come in to pit for whatever reason, they are looking to save time-and that means going as fast as the rules will allow.
Crewmembers are often injured by the following: 1) getting hit by the car itself when entering or leaving the pits, 2) the car falling off the jack, 3) fuel spilling on the hot brakes (producing a fireball), and 4) cuts, burns, and bruises from repairing a bent-up race car after an accident.
There is an extensive array of firesuits, aprons, gloves, arm covers, shoes, knee and elbow pads, and eye and ear protection available that can help reduce live pit injuries. Use them. Car owners should provide the pit crew with all of the equipment necessary to avoid injury.
Always keep in mind that racing is a sport, and all sports produce injuries. The more aware we are of the dangers, the better prepared we can be to help prevent serious injury to ourselves and others. Safety in racing is cool, and you should never feel ashamed to step forward to help improve the situation for pit safety around you.

Nagi's advantage in this scenario is that time is on her side. Hayate can't possibly see her as a little girl forever. I imagine a fresh round of Athena vs Nagi is in the cards eventually, though. None of the other girls have had enough development to play that role nearly as well as Athena can. I do think Hina will end up doing something, but I'm not sure what exactly. Ayumu has already found a role for herself that doesn't require her to chase Hayate forever.

If you claim it "developed", then it must have changed meaningfully over time. Please try to summarize what development that would have been.
Likewise, there has been NO development in Nagi's feelings towards Hayate. She still thinks that Hayate is in love with her, this fundamental perspective NEVER changes.
For your sake, I presume that you want to say that Hayate doesn't consider Hina romantically. And that's obviously wrong - think about his reaction to Maria's "It's totally impossible that someone so super-cute and all-around great like Hina would fall for Hayate" smackdown. Or the time when he freaks out in the bath on the thought that Hina's washing herself in there, too. Their extreme blushing whenever they touch (multiple occasions), and when they were pretty close to kissing on the cliff.
The only thing missing is Hayate's clear realization that Hina is in love with him. Should this ever change, I'm convinced that HnG is entering the end run. Which means it's not going to be anytime soon.
Sorry, I think your definition of "romantic developments" is way way too narrow, IMHO.
Maria - most likely. Ayumu has found her role, and it's a different one. But yes, I'm definitely not counting Hina out yet.

When he first starts working for Nagi, Hayate is primarily concerned with keeping his new job and trying to impress Maria with looking cool for Nagi rating a distant third. A couple chapters in, he outright monologues that he's mostly doing it for the money, but part of him doesn't want to betray her expectations.
There's a gradual shift over time with various signposts causing him to introspect a bit along the way. Mikado telling him his life is worthless is one of them. His declaration that he'll always care for Nagi even if she dislikes him (After she sells him to Isumi) is another. His reaction to Ayumu's confession even takes himself by surprise. His utter freakout during the Shimoda arc followed by his swearing on Yukariko's grave to protect her for the rest of his life is another one.
Aside from that, he gets notably more clingy and fussy over her with time, to the point that he's moping because "school is boring when Ojo-sama isn't around" and even seeing her face in the friggen moon after being away for a whole day during the Butler Quest Arc.
Simply put, he goes from being a man grateful to her for saving his life to one that hates to be separated from her for any length of time. There's other little touches like him trying to start up a conversation about anime when he's at Hina's house because "Golly, Ojo-sama and I could have discussed this for hours!"
Another good example would be the time at the summer fair where Nagi buys the complicated russian camera and Hayate tells her "You know, that attitude is exactly what I like about you." He simply doesn't say things like this early on.
And of course there's Nagi breaking the stone, which not only prompted his "At that moment, I saw the future" line, but he's been staring at Nagi from time to time ever since, almost like he's trying to figure something out.
When Athena asks about Nagi, Hayate talks about his gratitude towards her, but it's the way he smiles while talking about how difficult she is that brings Athena up short and causes her to shift gears.
He's always interested in protecting Nagi, yes, but his feelings pretty clearly shift more and more from pure gratitude to personal affection and attachment over time.
The Nagi question is more complicated and I'll get to it later, maybe.
There's no question that Hayate is attracted to Hina, (As he is Maria) but he hasn't displayed any strong signs so far of having deeper feelings for her.

My point is that I can't remember a SINGLE scene in which Hayate considers Nagi in a romantic context. However, there are multiple scenes showing that he does NOT consider her this way.
If Nagi is to "win", it will have to be after a time jump.
Athena already won the original "Royal Garden" story, from which Hayate no Gotoku was born. The remaining story will - in my opinion - be resolved either with the canonic Nagi ending after a time jump (possible, but so far not exactly a fan favorite), or with Hina. She has accumulated way too many fans and karma points to be ignored. She MUST be rewarded. The only question is "how".

Hata is going to have to speed things up to advance the story another 6 months without taking 6 years to do it, but you know there's enough foreshadowing that we'll hit those dates eventually.
I'm sure Hina will get some kind of happy ending, but I'm very skeptical she'll end up with Hayate. Don't forget she had Yukiji show up a while back just to tell her to go ahead and hurt herself all she wants for now, and let big sis pick up the pieces later, along with some wink wink nudge nudge comments about "as long as you have someone." I really doubt that kind of foreshadowing won't end up meaning anything.

It's possible for Hayate because he does mention that he thought of her on a pretty consistent basis.
It could probably be said for Athena as well, as she might have sent him away in the first place to keep him from getting killed, and is shown regretting having sent him away directly after.
She dealt with the debt herself to protect Hina from being hurt by it, but now she seems to realize that she needs to get hurt some to continue to grow.
The only happy ending possible for Hinagiku right now (romantically at least) seems to be couched in Hayate anyways, she's shown nil romantic attraction towards her own gender, and there isn't anyone else in the story strong enough to fill the position unless Hata decides to throw in another character just for her.

My best guess is that either she does eventually get an alternate love interest, or else Ayumu and Yukiji will end up comforting her.

Risa has the person she kissed, who might not have been introduced, but beyond that, there are personality matches within the existing characters.
Nagi herself has two other possibilities, Miki has more implied interactions and same with Izumi.

Maria and Athena have no obvious matches, Wataru himself is going to be breaking at least 2 girls hearts, and Ayumu has no one unless you're still matching her with Miki for some reason.
Bottom line is that there isn't enough male characters in this series to keep a whole bunch of girls from ending up unmatched. Which I'm ok with, actually. I like sensible pairings of secondary characters, but making sure everyone has a love interest by the end of a story just because annoys me.

Both Ayumu and Miki don't need a male character for them. Miki doesn't seem interested in them, and Ayumu has shown that she doesn't care about a person's sexual orientation before deciding if she likes them.
Mentioning Wataru's leaving broken hearts reminds me that Saki doesn't have anyone, but as she's not part of Hayate's harem I wasn't considering her, Aika either.
Nagi has shown some interest in both Wataru and Kazuki, but denies it to herself because she thinks she's Hayate's soulmate at the points when they interact. How she would react to them now might have a different outlook since the Golden Week arc and her maturity gained. I would say that there's quite a bit of possibility for something to happen given that Nagi is in a similar position to Wataru now.
Pair the Spares and HnG's love of playing with tropes and similar says that Hata's probably going to give everyone a match.

Hina is the "eye-level" match. Nagi isn't on the playing field yet, and what binds them is a promise of care and protection, not love.
That's the thing. Except for the "I must care for and protect Milady", Hayate and Nagi have no bond, they have nothing in common. They're of different ages. They have different interests. They enjoy different things. They may be fine in a milady-butler relationship, in which Hayate usually takes the place of a worried parent trying to tear a spoiled kid out of her hikikomori-dom, but the leap to "this is the girl I love and want to spend my life with" in a romantic context seems very, very far to me.

Maria has clearly not been open about her past, it's possible that she just didn't want to share something. Her reading the letter from the flashback when she was the school president says that she knows something about love. Coupled with her clear affection for Nagi, she seems to think that romance is something different.
Can't say anything more about the theories without getting cries of epileptic trees and wild guessing, so I'll leave it at that.

You may not read their names on the president's and dean's lists. You won't read about their accomplishments in school gymnasiums or on the football, soccer and baseball fields. Nor accolades about their scholastic achievements.
Don't get us wrong, these are not bad students. They are actually very good students. Many of them do play sports and are on honor rolls. While some of these A,B, C students don't always get the recognition of their more highly skilled academic and athletic peers, they deserve it.

Address: 408 Francis Harvey Green Library
West Chester, PA 19383
Phone: 610-436-2766
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Institute is named after one of America's best known heroes, Frederick Douglass, the former slave, distinguished author, and statesman.
The mission of the Frederick Douglass Institute at West Chester University of Pennsylvania (FDI) is to maintain the legacy of the great abolitionist, orator, and statesman Frederick Douglass before the campus community, local community, region, and the nation through the highest quality of academic programming that promotes excellence in scholarship, teaching, and institutional advancement. Consistent with its mission, and with the mission, vision, and values of the university, the Institute is an educational and cultural resource for advancing multicultural studies across the curriculum and for deepening the intellectual heritage of Frederick Douglass, the former slave, distinguished orator, journalist, author, and statesman. Douglass, who was a frequent visitor to the West Chester area, gave his last public lecture on West Chester's campus on February 1, 1895, just nineteen days before his death. Guided by the spirit of Douglass and his legacy, the Institute aims to create opportunities to build a better community for all of us to fulfill our destiny as human beings. Perhaps Douglass himself put it best when on October 1, 1865, at the inauguration of an Institute named for him in Baltimore, Maryland, Douglass said that the mission of that Institute was, in part, "to be a dispenser of knowledge," and "a radiator of light." Douglass also declared in his remarks that "In a word, we dedicate this Institution to virtue, temperance, truth, liberty, and justice." Through the leadership of WCU, there are Frederick Douglass Institutes at all fourteen campuses of the Pennsylvania State Universities System. Collectively the Frederick Douglass Institutes at all 14 campuses of the Pennsylvania State University System are known as the FDI Collaborative.
Our vision is to be, as was Frederick Douglass, continually empowered through knowledge, and to, through such empowerment, strive for justice both in the academy and beyond.

1) Water shortages. Water is the number 1 most important necessity to survival. The average human can only survive 3 days without water, and even less in a heat wave. I hope you've stored some. If the water system shuts down or does not have enough, you could turn on the tap only to have a few drips. If you run into a situation where there is not enough municipal water supply to your home, start looking for other sources of stored water.
- Your hot water tank may have 30 - 50 gallons of water stored.
- The top supply tank to your toilette is typically clean water that you can use.
- Your plumbing in your house could have a few gallons. Open a higher faucet in your house as in a shower, sink, or upstairs source to relieve pressure, then open a lower outside faucet to retrieve water from your plumbing system.
Got Water?
2) Heat. Heat poses many risks, including but not limited to:
- Heat Stroke. Watch family members closely, especially the elderly, watch for slurred speech and disorientation. When in doubt, call for help. Time lost is brain lost. Never leave pets or children in a vehicle, and keep them out of the direct sun. Drink lots of water.
- Fire. Fires are much more common in the heat. Things dry out and become more flammable. Keep dry brush and trash picked up. Do not store fuel in or around your house, and keep well ventilated in a cool area out of the sun. Keep grass cut short, especially if your city is rationing water and not allowing watering of lawns. Do not store any flammables in the direct sun or in your attic.
- Vehicle breakdowns. Avoid driving unless it's absolutely necessary, or drive at nite. Check your fluid levels and make sure your oil and coolant are topped off. Bring extra oil and coolant with you in case you need it. DO NOT top off your fuel tank! Make sure your tires are property inflated and not over or under inflated. Bring extra water with you in case you do break down. Drive with the A/C off when going uphill. Watch your vehicles tempature when climbing grades. If your car starts to overheat when going uphill, pull over at a safe location to let it cool. Check to make sure your thermostat is working before you make your trip.
4) Food Prices Expect food prices to increase. Especially meat. Many ranchers are butchering all of there livestock as there is not enough food and water to care for them, this means shortages in the future. Produce crops are drying up. Prices of corn, wheat and other grains will increase. Even produce grown in unaffected areas may increase in price as well due to demand. If the blackouts are too severe, stores, gas stations and truck stops may close down temporarily disrupting the supply chain and preventing food from making it to the stores.
Stay safe during this heat wave and dought. This is a serious and potentially devastating national disaster.
If you have tips, ideas, news, videos or pictures that you wish to share regarding this heat wave you can submit your article to firstname.lastname@example.com. If your article is chosen we will post it on your states preppers network blog. Top articles will get posted on APN. The top article of the week will win a free flashlantern valued at $49.95 (made in the USA). Articles must be submitted before 7/29.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the second year in a row, two members of the MIT men's track and field team were named to the Capital One Academic All-America team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Tuesday afternoon. Senior Kyle Hannon (Park Ridge, Ill.) and sophomore Tyler Singer-Clark (Falmouth, Mass.) were both named to the second team.
Hannon received his third All-America nod in his career, after being tabbed as a third team All-American his sophomore year and first team as a junior. The computer science major had an impressive four years at MIT, receiving the prestigious Elite 89 Award (formerly Elite 88) as both a sophomore and a junior, which is given to the student-athlete with the highest GPA at the national championship site. This season, he finished third in the 5,000m in the meet against Bates and Colby (15:19.00) and was first in the 1,500m in the Engineer's Cup (7:54.21).
Singer-Clark made his first appearance on both the All-District team and the All-America team following a successful sophomore season. At the 2013 NCAA Division III Championships in May, Singer-Clark earned All-America nods in both the 4x100 and 4x400 relay, which is given to those that finish in the top eight in each event. The computer science and engineering major also won both of his individual events at the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship in April, being named NEWMAC All-Conference for his performances.
Hannon, Singer-Clark and two runners from WPI represented the NEWMAC on the three teams.

So finally the Fedora Activity Day which was supposed to be held during Horizon'09 in April was held over two in 14th and 15th May,2009. The reason was that horizon got canceled due to some reason.
Here is a complete jot down of the whole two day experience
Day 1 :
We started a little late.At around 12 noon because of the projector was not working laptops.With audience size was around 30 we started.
Arindam started by introducing the fedora project to the students. he introduced the Four F's of the fedora project along with the community as well. He in fact introduce all bits of the project.
Next was Kishan and Me , we tried to bust most of the misconceptions about linux/fedora in general.
Next we decided to actually give the students a demo of what the busted few minutes ago. Debashree, Amrita, Arpita showed them inkscape and gimp. Rangeen, me and arindam showed them video and music in Fedora.Along with Rangeen showing them KDE 4.2 and it attracted attention. Every machine in the Lab was running FEL live cd since there was no persmission to install Fedora in those machines[:(].
Whole of this continued till 2:10 and we decided to take a break.
After break we continued, this time 15 more students from electronics and communication branch came and joined us.
We introduced IRC to students and gave them a brief demo of it.
Then Rangeen started with FEL. He introduced GNUSim8085 and Ktechlabs which attracted most interest. There was power cut and outside was cloudy, so it was dark. but somehow even with UPS ans trailing machines rangeen continued.After the UPS gave up. We formed small groups of 8-9 and used out 5 laptops to demonstrated FEL. The session went along over 2 hours.It was a comprehensive demonstration and was a good one.
Due to lack of power, we decided to call it a day and gained permission to continued over the next day.
Day 2 :
We started day 2 with Some basic commands by Harsh Verma (a new fedora ambassador from dgplug). He showed them efficiently. Even showed the use of man and info pages. Me and Arindam helped Harsh with this session. We showed them chmod , file permissions and a word of caution"not to login as root in GUI".
The next session was vi by Dibyanshu. He gave a very good session on vi and showed most of the cool stuffs. I, personally liked the session very much.This guy is very new to dgplug but is showing great enthusiasm.
We took a break of 20 min and returned . Ratnadeep started with his GCC session. We decided to take on small assignments and started doing them using GCC. Ratnadeep did gave a comphensive demo of GCC and did well. Arindam decided to help them using Anjuta IDE and the same assignments were done using that.
This went till almost 5pm, power went out again. But I took my java session in my laptop. Showed them openjdk, the difference between openjdk and sun jdk. And how to install sun jdk in fedora using alternatives. This went on till 5:45pm and decided to call it a day.
The feedback was good. event though number of audince was less but it showed enthusiasm. Hope to get good contributors from this pack. There will be a post FAD session after the semester exams to keep nurturing this enthusiasm.
Over and all the session was successful and a good one.
With this session we gained permission to install fedora in a machine. And me and Arindam decided to use this as a local mirror for the labs and students. Need to sort out some techical difficulties though. It currently behaves like a mirror in a box.More on this soon.
My cam's battery gave up in mid ways so didnt clicked much , anyways pics are here :

Possession beast paul byron.
Hes elite defensively (shot suppression) and decent in offense generation for a bottom 6er
i say Mb should of grabbed Linden Vey 6'0 plays both RW/C
I like Byron...kid is super fast and pretty gritty.
Does Byron drive a Ford pickup truck from Le Roi du Camion ?
"Love one another as I have loved you"... Jesus-Christ our Holy Lord and Savior Forever Amen and Alleluia !!!
Completely forgot about Bournival. That guy had promise before all these injuries started to show up.
Byron ... is this some kind of sick joke????
Bergevin seems to like picking up players just like himself-spare parts. Flynn,Mitchell,Byron,etc. Is our farm system so bad we can't produce spare parts?
Smaller players tend to have an advantage at the start of the season, and a jump over bigger players. Byron is a stop-gap till Dec, by which time either one of the prospects in the AHL will be ready to step up, or Kassian will be back into the fold, or both.
Not sure what the hissy fit is all about
We havent reached the ultimate, of where you walk into the building and you can sort of smell victory. But were a step closer to that this year than we were last year.
So now the pressures on to replicate.
- Geoff Molson
Yeah, as a 4th line/spare part, I don't mind giving a random guy a shot. DLR did decently enough for us last year, but better to give him more minutes on the farm to start, and only bring him up when he can regularly hold down a shift.
Its days like today that really make me laugh at the moar bigger crowd.
If you criticize a playet and all you know is his height and weight... thats hilariously bad.
From the team that made the conf final beating the big bad bruins in a playoff series on the way.... bouillion, gionta, briere, are all gone.... one small player was added today. We are bigger than the team who defeated the supposed bullies of the nhl. On top of that i dont know if anyone noticed byt the winners of three stanley cups kn chicago have been in the bottom 5 smallest teams in the nhl every year they won.
Talent trumps size all day long.
I agree bigtime that talent trumps size. It is nice to have both though...
Byron seems like a gritty/possession player for the 4th line. I don't mind it at all. He maybe better than Flynn.

WASHINGTON – Those who are craving a smoke will have a harder time finding a legal place to light up after the New Year. More companies and government agencies are ramping up restrictions on spots where smoking is allowed.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reports that employees of 3M and Delaware's state government will not be able to take a smoke break at work, including in parking lots, sidewalks and other outdoor areas on state property.
In addition, North Dakota banned smoking in most public places.
Bans are taking place locally as well. The University of Maryland, American University and George Washington University are going tobacco-free on campus in 2013.
The article also reports that the number of Americans who smoke has decreased over the past 10 years. According to a 2011 poll by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 19 percent of Americans smoke. That number is down from 23 percent in 2001.

IBM is a huge sponsor of The Masters tournament.
Thanks to IBM's support of the tournament and IBM's status as humongous global technology company, the last four IBM CEOs have been offered membership in August National, the all-male club that hosts the tournament.
But now IBM has gone and appointed a woman as CEO.
So Augusta National has a quandary on its hands.
Virginia Rometty, IBM's CEO, has decided to attend the tournament this week, Spencer Ante of the Wall Street Journal reports, despite being barred from membership.
Rometty has been respectful enough not ridicule Augusta National in public. But plenty of other people have.
Earlier this week, both the Democratic President of the United States and the presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney agreed that Augusta National should finally enter the 20th Century and admit women. This may be the first thing the two have ever agreed on.

As millions tune in to the Super Bowl this Sunday, I am cheering for one football wife who tackled her husband's dementia with a game plan to keep their lives as normal as possible and in the process found her calling as a caregiving advocate. Her passionate plea to the NFL, one of the most powerful organizations in sports, resulted in the "88 Plan," a break-through long-term care plan that gives security and support to former players and their families when it comes to brain-related illness.
While this story is about caregiving, football and dementia, at its heart, this is a love story.
For Love of the Game . . . and the Man
When it comes to the gladiators of the gridiron, he was the Charlton Heston or Russell Crowe of his day. But, in the end, it would be his wife – on the sidelines of his entire career – who would become the warrior at the center of the action.
When John Mackey, No. 88, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992, he was only the second tight end to receive the honor. He was and still is considered one of the best tight ends to ever take the field. In fact, Mike Ditka, himself a Hall of Fame player and the first "pure" tight-end to be inducted into that rare club of exceptional players, stated that Mackey should have been first.
As a Baltimore Colt, where he played all but the last year of his career, John scored one of the most famous plays in NFL championship history. It was Super Bowl V played in 1971, that John caught the nail-biting pass from quarterback Johnny Unitas that first careened off the hands of the opposite team's player, grazed the fingertips of his teammate and finally wound up safely in the arms of John who then ran it for a then- record 75-yard touchdown. It was this decisive play that helped the Colts beat the Dallas Cowboys and won John his coveted Super Bowl ring.
Twenty-one years later, as John took his place in football's pantheon of great players for his Hall of Fame induction ceremony, right by his side was the woman who had been in that same spot since his college playing days, his wife, Sylvia. Theirs would prove to be a true love story, challenged only by a devastating medical diagnosis.
Little did either John or Sylvia know that day in 1992 that 14 years later, John's toughest battles would be fought off the football field with his lovely wife serving as both tackler and blocker. At age 65 John Mackey was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a degenerative disease caused by the rapid deterioration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.
Tackling Dementia
What makes Sylvia's story one of inspiration is that this diagnosis could have sacked her (in football parlance) but instead she did not let this devastating news knock her down. One incident that highlights the special challenges that dementia caregivers face was played out at the Baltimore/Washington International Airport.
"John and I were on our way to the Super Bowl – we never missed one and I was determined this was something we were going to continue to do – it always made John happier as we got ready for these annual trips," said Sylvia.
But, this year was different. There was an incident with the TSA airport security that almost took them both down – literally. Her husband, proudly wearing his Super Bowl ring and trademark cowboy hat, refused to remove these items and place them on the conveyor belt to be scanned. In his mind, he did not understand that there had been a 9/11, he did not understand why they did not recognize him, and ultimately he thought they were trying to rob him of his precious possessions.
As John grew more frustrated with the TSA agents who, unaware of his diagnosis, thought he was just being a belligerent traveler, the agents grew increasingly irritated and finally tackled him but not after chasing the six-foot two-inch 220-pound former football player who dragged the agents several feet through the airport until several more agents joined in, handcuffed him and took him off to jail.
All the while, a tearful and frightened Sylvia was trying her best to explain to the agents and the curious onlookers that her husband was the NFL great and one of Baltimore's favorite sons, John Mackey, that his illness meant he had no ability to understand what was happening, and ultimately she begged the officers to let her proud husband go. She collapsed while they dragged her confused husband away, and thought to herself, "I don't know if I can do this anymore."
Hemingway wrote that courage is grace under fire. When Sylvia caught up with her husband at the police station, John was back to his typical, jovial, social self – signing autographs for many of the police officers who finally recognized the NFL great. It was at this moment as her husband basked in the bright light of his fame, that she realized she could not give up on her husband or herself. That is when her courage took flight.
Instead of deciding that attending future Super Bowls or other travel would be out of the question, Sylvia got to work contacting the head of TSA at Baltimore/Washington International. She explained her situation and asked for his help to allow her husband to travel – especially to the sporting events and autograph signings that he truly lived for and were important to maintaining some type of normalcy in their lives.
The TSA executive designed a plan with Sylvia to have John brought through a private area where they could scan him without incident and without his having to remove items precious to him. In addition, the TSA executive also would contact the TSA executive at the arrival airport to explain how similar treatment of John upon his return flight out of their airport would be helpful to avoid any similar, dramatic incidents that neither party wanted.
And, these special plans are not just for those with famous last names. One lesson all caregivers can take from Sylvia's travel strategy is to plan ahead and ask a lot of questions. Most airports will work with caregivers on the special travel needs of their loved ones.
The Final Play
Sadly, John Mackey lost his battle with dementia and passed away in 2011. A few years before losing her husband, Sylvia had written a passionate letter to then NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue asking for more support for retired players when it comes to their long-term-care (LTC). In his decade-long career, Mackey made about $500,000 – a salary that many back-up players make in one season today. The LTC plan was championed by current Commissioner Roger Goodell and was adopted by the NFL in 2007. The "88 Plan," was named to honor Mackey's jersey number and provides retired players suffering from Alzheimer's disease, dementia, ALS or Parkinson's disease with $88,000 annually for long-term care or adult day care or $50,000 to secure care at home.
Today, Sylvia is a board member of the Association of Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) and speaks to caregivers across the country about the impact of dementia on families.
As the Giants and Patriots prepare to square off in Indianapolis in Super Bowl XLVI, Sylvia's message to all caregivers on this game day – and every day – is to "Prepare. Prepare. Prepare."
This is an excerpt on Sylvia Mackey's story from Sherri Snelling's book on celebrity caregivers and the lessons of love and caring that will be published in November, 2012.

Security Monitors - Expert commentary
It had been a particularly slow night. The plant security guard had just made his rounds on this Sunday evening shift. As soon as he passed the weighing scales, he could enter the guard shack and get off his feet. Challenging A Curious Incident However, on this night, he noticed the waste vendor's truck sitting half on and half off the scale. He stopped dead in his tracks to see if the truck would back up and completely sit on the scale. It never did. The observant guard walked up to the truck and challenged the driver who seemed surprised. "Hey, you're not weighing your truck properly." The driver fumbled for a response before replying, "Sorry, I was on the phone with a friend. I didn't notice it." But this security guard had the presence of mind to demand the driver's phone. The driver was caught off guard and surrendered the phone. The guard then pulled up the most recent incoming/outgoing calls and saw no calls during the last 30 minutes. "I don't think so." "You don't think so what?" The security guard was frank, "You haven't used this phone in over half an hour." The truck driver sheepishly acknowledged the fact. It was decided to install video surveillance covering the weighing area and scales – no easy feat due to poor lighting Preventing Crime As It Happens Knowing the driver was lying, the security guard ordered the truck back on the scale for a correct weighing and advised the driver that he would report the incident. The security guard wrote up his report and handed it off to his supervisor who, in turn, contacted the local corporate investigator. This investigator was soon on the phone with his boss at corporate headquarters on the other side of the world. Together with Security, they decided to install video surveillance covering the weighing area and scales – no easy feat due to poor lighting. However, once completed, they waited. They would not have to wait long. For the next two months, the waste vendor trucks, filled to the brim with production waste, black-and-white paper and other waste products from the plant, would stop on the scale only for a moment and then drive the front half of the truck off the scale for weighing. It was obvious that the vendor was cheating the company by only paying for half the waste. After two months, it was decided to catch the next cheating driver "en flagrante." Sure enough, the next truck went half on and half off the scale and was weighed. Security then asked the unsuspecting driver to park his truck and invited him inside the building to talk to a supervisor. The driver signed an incriminating statement about the scheme and his role therein. They sent him on his way asking him to keep it quiet Waiting for the driver in a large office was the local investigator and his close friend, the Head of Security. After a difficult interview, the driver admitted to cheating on the scales over a two-year period—he claimed that some of the scale cheating was done at the direction of the vendor's management, while some of it he did himself by "ripping off" the vendor—which he acknowledged was dangerous. Working With Authorities The driver signed an incriminating statement about the scheme and his role therein. They sent him on his way asking him to keep it quiet—they would see what they could do for him later on. In the meantime, Corporate Investigations had received a due diligence report on the vendor company which contained disturbing news—the company and its managers were associated with a countrywide waste management mafia. The report suggested that the vendor had a reputation for thefts and involvement in numerous lawsuits regarding thefts and embezzlement. Shockingly, no prior due diligence had ever been conducted on the vendor. Fortunately, the plant's finance and audit team had maintained good records over the past 5 years and were able to re-construct the amount of waste going out the plant door and the amounts being claimed and paid for by the vendor. The discrepancy and loss stood at a multi-million dollar figure. After consulting with the local police authorities and company lawyers, it was decided to pursue a civil case against the vendor. Pursuing Legal Action The regional lawyer, the Head of Investigations, the Head of Security and the CFO invited the vendor to discuss the problem. Some of the evidence was shown to the vendor's CEO who became indignant and, in order to save face, promised to fire the truck drivers and to repay any losses for the last two months. Inter-dependent entities - security, investigations, finance/audit and legal - combined their resources and agendas to form a unified front That was not enough for the company and a protracted legal battle ensued which lasted several years and resulted in the vendor's paying almost the entire amount in instalments. The vendor was dropped from the contract and internal controls strengthened—the only plant employee dealing with the waste issue left the company and was replaced by two individuals. The plant also began paying more attention to the waste process and less to the production side. Several "lessons learned" come to mind. First, the tripwire came in the person of an astute and well-trained security guard who exhibited some of the best characteristics you want to see from men and women in that profession. The Security Department was also adept at installing the surveillance system and capturing the fraud live on videotape. But a far greater lesson was learned—of what can happen when inter-dependent entities (security, investigations, finance/audit and legal) within a company combine their resources and agendas to form a unified front. The results speak for themselves.
Despite the huge amount of video data collected, statistics show that only 10 percent of data is ever used and most loses its value within seconds of being generated. Why use such a limited amount of data? Many security organizations are focused on delivering the right information in case of an emergency or providing the correct evidence after a criminal act. Yet the fact is, a new video security system can be a large investment. Together with the service, maintenance and management costs associated with it, most video systems are currently considered overhead. So how can you maximize the value of your video system? Video analytics ensure surveillance images are continuously analyzed in real-time to alert users to things that need attention. This helps organizations make sense of video data and adds an extra layer of protection by providing alerts to potential security risks before or as they occur, such as detecting loitering in a parking lot or a perimeter breach after hours.Integrating analytic alerts with other security systems enables organizations to use the data to trigger responses from other components of the security solution Video analytics can be programmed to alert on things such as line/perimeter crossing, illegal parking, loitering: people counting, speeding in areas like parking lots, color matching alerts. These are just some of the ways video analytics can assist to enhance security and safety. Video Analytics Trigger System Events Integrating analytic alerts with other security systems enables organizations to use the data to trigger responses from other components of the security solution. This can increase overall security, better mitigate risk, and reduce complexity for users to improve efficiency. For example, intelligent cameras equipped with video analytics can initiate intrusion detection system events when alarms are triggered. The analytic alert can immediately fault a corresponding point on the panel. This can prompt the panel to communicate the alarm to the central station or to send video snapshots to security personnel. In a retail store or warehouse environment, video analytics can also alert to an emergency exit that has been blocked by a pallet of boxes or by another object. Using an idle object rule, the IP camera with analytics can alert when an object remains in the area for longer than a pre-defined amount of time. People counting and crowd detection can also help organizations improve customer satisfaction by monitoring for long lines or people gathered in an area When this occurs, the alert can fault a point on the intrusion control panel, which can then send an email or text message with a video snapshot to the store or warehouse manager. This can help to prevent code violations and unsafe conditions. Extending Beyond Security Not only can video analytics detect threats, alert to security breaches, and help enforce health and safety regulations, it can also do much more. It can enable organizations to re-purpose the data for new uses for the business—offering valuable insights to other departments within an organization, such as providing the ability to analyze behavior in retail stores to help merchandizers create more effective display placements. How is this possible? Analytics can provide organizations with the additional information about video data that they need to re-purpose it for a business advantage. The cameras can interpret data directly at the source and re-assign it to help organizations make smarter decisions.By providing business information that goes beyond conventional security applications, new functionality can easily be added to a video security system This includes monitoring presence to reduce utility bills, identifying patterns in customer activity to improve sales, and distinguishing road blocks to optimize retail shop layout and increase customer satisfaction. Improving Customer Satisfaction People counting and crowd detection can also help organizations improve customer satisfaction by monitoring for long lines or people gathered in an area, indicating additional assistance may be needed. By providing business information that goes beyond conventional security applications, new functionality can easily be added to a video security system. In this way, video analytics can help organizations reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve sales. The organization gains greater value from the system and a return on investment that can be measured in tangible business results. Then, the video system is no longer considered overhead. Overall, using video analytics as part of an integrated security system and fully using the data gained from the analytics can help you better meet your organization's needs for security and extend surveillance data to deliver additional business benefits. I believe that every business should be able to take advantages of these advances in technology - without the need for additional investment or a license fee. Every business is different, and new analytics solutions should be adaptable to meet your exact needs. Thinking beyond security opens up video analytics to revolutionize how video data will be used in the future and can take data usage to a whole new level.
End users can add security, safety and business intelligence – while achieving a higher return on investment at their protected facilities – with live streaming video. It can be deployed effectively for IP video, network video recorders (NVRs) and body-worn cameras. The growing use of streaming video is resulting in vast technological developments and high-end software that promotes reduced bandwidth, high scalability and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Here's how users can add value to security with live streaming video and what they should look for in the procurement of technology solutions. Questions are answered by Bryan Meissner, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of EvoStream. Q: What is live streaming video and how does it apply to physical security? BM: In its simplest and most popular form, video streaming allows users to watch video on PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones. According to GO-Globe, every 60 seconds more than 400 hours of video are uploaded and around 700,000 hours watched. The key to effective video streaming is for the platform to be able to adapt to the limits of the internet or network connection so the viewer gets an unbridled experience without buffering or signal loss. Live video streaming in security applications leverages a variety of connected devices, appliances and services including the cloud, mobile platforms, IP cameras and NVRs, becoming an enabling technology for more effective, real-time data capture at the protected premises. It reduces bandwidth costs and infrastructure operating requirements by streaming directly from cameras, mobile devices, drones, body worn units and loT devices to browsers, phones and tablets. The best solutions optimize the experience for the user and permit image capture and retrieval from Android, iOS, browser platforms or directly from cameras or NVRs—streaming to wherever the user desires. Quality live streaming applications provide clear, real-time images and retrieve high-resolution video that can be used for evidence, identification, operations management or compliance regulation and control. The most cost-effective solutions offer minimal hardware requirements, lower overall operating expenses and promote high scalability – even integration with many legacy security management platforms. Q: What are some challenges of live streaming video and how are those being addressed by new technology? BM: Live streaming video can present challenges when a solution isn't designed specifically for the security infrastructure. End users need to look for forward-thinking software and firmware solutions which offer reduced bandwidth requirements, high scalability and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) or they will be disappointed with the results and costs of maintaining services for end users. The most competent live video streaming lets users integrate with and run on any platform, appliance or device The technology is changing rapidly, so only providers who focus on innovation can keep pace and future-proof the user and their facility. To be most effective, video needs to be able to stream consistently and reliably to and from a host of different devices, platforms, browsers and mediums, on-premises servers or the cloud. Video footage needs to be obtained quickly and deliver critical metadata, with built-in cyber safeguards and hardening such as automatic encryption and authentication. Q: What do end users need to look for in solutions for effective video streaming? BM: Implementing a live streaming video platform should result in greater efficiency and reduced operational costs. Live video streaming to and from a variety of connected devices, appliances and services requires sub-second latency from image capture to delivery. It also needs to be as open and agnostic as possible – spanning multiple technologies, standards and protocols and giving the user enhanced flexibility for their specification. The most competent live video streaming lets users integrate with and run on any platform, appliance or device including standalone servers, server racks, public, private and hybrid clouds and other distribution channels using the same application programming interface or API. Streaming should also support the latest codecs, such as H.264 and H.265 along with widely specified protocols for the distribution of that video. Q: What are some of the trending technological developments in live streaming video applications? BM: Traditional video streaming consumes exorbitant amounts of bandwidth and users pay for video routed through their servers. Some of the latest capabilities, such as peer-to-peer streaming, HTML5 media players, metadata integration and cost-effective transcoding via RaspberryPi enhance overall processing and ultimately strengthen the user experience. Peer-to-peer is a critical, emerging component in effective video streaming. With peer to peer, video does not go through servers but instead streams directly between the camera and the end-user's phone, for example, eliminating that cost of bandwidth from the platform while still permitting exact control of content. Users stream live from cameras to any device, with the ability to authenticate and approve peering from the back-end infrastructure while enabling low-latency HTML5 without incurring excessive platform bandwidth costs. The explosion of live streaming video in IP video cameras, NVRs and body-worn cameras is driving a new category of high-end software offering reduced bandwidth, high scalability and lower TCO. It prepares users for new technology and the loT, eliminating the largest cost driver of hosted live streaming platforms – bandwidth. Applications that offer peer-to-peer streaming and other feature sets can help future proof the end-user's investment and strengthen the value proposition for viewing or retrieving live or archived video effectively.

Blame the sun. A Virginia company is delaying a space station delivery mission because of a major solar flare.
Orbital Sciences Corp.'s unmanned rocket, the Antares, was supposed to blast off Thursday from Wallops Island, Va., with a capsule full of supplies and experiments. But on Wednesday, the company postponed the launch for fear solar particles could doom the rocket.
Officials for Orbital Sciences say solar particles might interfere with electronic equipment in the rocket, and lead to a launch failure.
The solar flare peaked Tuesday afternoon. But more solar disturbance is expected. Officials will decide late Wednesday afternoon whether to attempt a Thursday launch or wait for the sun to settle down.
NASA says the solar activity poses no threat to the six men aboard the International Space Station.

3DYourScan: 3D Printed Skeletal Hand Model
Our 3D Printed models are made directly from CT and MRI scan data (also known as a DICOM set). Being able to hold/observe a physical model in your hands can sometimes be the best alternative to looking at a scan or rendering of the scan.
These 3D Printed anatomical models are suitable as a pre-surgical planning tool, product validation tool, and an educational tool for explaining a treatment for your patient. There are two options available for making a 3D Printed anatomical model:
1. Standard Printing – a full-color, general anatomical model, modeled from publicly available DICOM files, this option does not require you to provide a CT or MRI file. This print option cannot be customized or modified.
2. DICOM Segmentation – a fully customizable anatomical model made from a DICOM file provided by you or your client. Your anatomy will be modeled in 3D by our medical experts, in collaboration with your needs. Select this option if you have a DICOM file available, and we'll contact you with next steps for submitting your file, learning more about what you want the model to look like, and provide firm costs for your project. We will also discuss the type of material that's best suited to your needs.
Our full-color 3D Printed anatomical models are opaque in appearance and are made from a solid sandstone type material on an industrial Color Jet Printer. Multiple layers of powder are bonded together forming a vibrant looking high-color model. Because of the materials this is the least expensive patient specific model available on the market today.
Our transparent models are made from liquid resin with a special finish applied to produce the transparent look. The resin is UV-cured. These models are much stronger and vivid in detail, providing a see through visual that is highly sought after in medical modeling. Because of the materials used and manufacturing processes, these models demand a higher value and cost with much more benefit.
All 3D Printed models, design teams and the associated printers go through a quality control process ensuring accuracy of the print and technologies associated before being shipped to the surgeon. These models are meant to be used in a non-sterile environment.
General Ordering Steps
1. Choose the Print Type you wish to order (Standard Printing, or DICOM Segmentation) and submit your order to us.
2. After your purchase, you will receive instructions on how and where to upload your DICOM files to our secure servers. If you ordered a Standard Printing model, we will simply print and ship your model (typically within 5-10 working days).
3. Your files will be inspected for accuracy and segmented (if DICOM Segmentation is selected). You'll be contacted for collaboration as needed.
4. You will have the opportunity to proof the final print files before any 3D Printing takes place.
5. You will receive your model in approximately 5-10 working days. Urgent requests can be done quicker. Privacy of your personal data is very important to us and we treat it as such. If you have questions you can contact us any time.

Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. He led the NBA in scoring during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons and, in 2006, scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors.
He won the regular season Most Valuable Player award for the 2007-08 season and won his fourth NBA title in 2009, leading the Lakers to their fifteenth title and winning his first NBA Finals MVP award.
On the Lakers' all-time list, Bryant is second in games played (1,021), eight in free-throw percentage (83.8%), ninth in rebounds (5,410), third in assists (4,766), second in steals (1,554), seventh in blocked shots (564), first in points (25,790), fourth in points per game (25.3) and seventh in assists per game (4.7).

We had a faceoff in our end in the right circle which is where you need a righty (Ziggy) to take the draw, but instead let crosby take it and he lost it clean and the puck is in our net. Little things like that is what makes me not like MT's in-game coaching.
I see nothing wrong with what he did. He had his first liners out there, and Sid has won over 70% of his faceoffs. You are just looking for something to criticize MT.
If Sid wasn't out there,, and the Flyers scored, I'm sure you'd be saying MT is an idiot for not having Sid out there.
Nope, sorry your wrong. You don't have to pull the whole line off the ice people, you just put Ziggy out in place of Satan. Having 2 centers on the ice for a defensive zone faceoff is a common practice. I know sid had a good night in the circle, but in the right circle it's a hell of a lot easier for a righty to take the draw.

SAN RAMON VALLEY — The three candidates elected to the San Ramon Valley Fire District board of directors have their work cut out for them.
The district, which provides fire, rescue and emergency services in the San Ramon and Tassajara valleys, has been running a budget deficit for the past four years. In addition, it has been mired in contract negotiations with the firefighters union for the past year and a half.
Of the five candidates running for the board, Alameda fire Captain Gordon Dakin received the most votes, pulling in 32 percent of the total. Incumbent and board Vice President Matt Stamey received 25 percent. Newcomer H. Jay Kerr received 22 percent.
Not all mail-in votes have yet been counted but Dakin, Stamey and Kerr have safe leads over the two other candidates, Gerardo Peniche, at 12 percent, and Stephen Mohun, 9 percent.
Dakin served on the board from 2000 to 2006. When he left, the district was flush with cash, but it's now relying on a dwindling reserve fund to balance the budget.
"My feelings this go-round are a little different than last go-round," Dakin said of returning to the board. He said when he was elected in 2000 he felt pride in having the chance to give back to his community. "This time I'm feeling that there is a ton of work to be done, and things need to be righted. I have a much more sobering take on what's at stake here."
For the 2012-13 fiscal year, the district is projecting total revenues of $56.4 million, mostly from property taxes. Its largest expense is salaries and benefits for its 190 personnel. Pensions alone account for 25 percent of the general fund budget.
The district has been seeking concessions from the union on pay and benefits, with no deal reached.
Dakin and losing candidates Peniche and Mohun were all backed by the firefighters union. Dakin said that although the union supported his candidacy, he is first beholden to the taxpayers.
"My goal is to get the district fiscally sound," he said. "My focus is going to be cutting expenses, and some of those cuts will have a direct affect on the union membership."
He said he does not favor asking voters for a parcel tax to increase revenue. "The funding coming from this community should be more than adequate to provide the very best services of any emergency response agency," he said.
Stamey, a CEO of an agricultural-related business, and Kerr, a veterinarian, are both fiscal conservatives who were opposed by the union. They both said balancing the budget are their priorities.
"It's just a question of how we get there," Kerr said, adding that he is looking forward to getting the inside scoop on the district's finances now that he has been elected.
Stamey said one of the first things the board must do is tackle the labor agreement. "We need a contract that allows for a larger contribution from the employees for their retirement costs," he said.
"We have one of the most highly rated fire districts in the state of California," Stamey said. "The agency is doing a great job. If we could figure out all the financial issues, things would be terrific."
The new board will be seated at its first meeting Dec. 19. One of its first responsibilities will be replacing outgoing Chief Richard Price, who retired last year and is serving as acting chief for $1 a month.

UPDATE: Click here for the fully updated list of Super Bowl ads in order. This story was made before the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl XLVII is on right now but you don't have to wait until the game ends to check out the ads.
With some advertisers shelling out as much as $4 million for a 30-second time slot, companies started rolling out teasers for their big game commercials weeks ago to get the most bang for their buck.
And with just four days to go before the game, almost every single company has unveiled the ad it will be playing in the game.
This year's spots will star Sports Illustrated models including Kate Upton and Bar Refaeli, comedians like Seth Rogen and Amy Poehler, and a strange fish that sings "Yo Diggity." (Really.)
We've compiled a list of all of the ads that you will see Super Bowl Sunday — we've included some "teasers" as well if the full spot hasn't been leaked early — and the order that they will be playing in, based on quarter. Some advertisers haven't announced when their commercials will air, so those have been placed in our "undisclosed" section.
Tell us your favorites in the comments and check back at this story or Business Insider's Advertising news channel as we live blog Super Bowl Sunday, as more commercials get released.
