Back when he was managing the St. Louis Cardinals, Tony La Russa used to have this rule about celebrations. (This is an apt way to describe Tony La Russa, in the abstract. He is the sort of person who has rules about celebrations.) If the Cardinals clinched a wildcard or a division championship with another team winning rather than the Cardinals winning -- if, say, the magic number went to zero with a Reds loss rather than a Cardinals win -- La Russa would not stand for the spraying of champagne in the locker room. "We celebrate with a win," he'd say. This could lead to the unique awkwardness of the team pressing to win so they could toast a division championship they'd actually earned a week earlier.
Suffice to say: La Russa would make a terrible soccer coach. (Though I can imagine him playing the keeper as a third striker or something, just to mess with people.)
The United States clinched a trip to the Round of 16 with a 1-0 loss to Germany on Thursday afternoon, and Americans, as a whole, just weren't sure how to feel about it. On one hand, we packed into bars all across the country, painting our faces, donning Abe Lincoln top hats, getting "Don't Tread On Me" tattoos -- I personally was wearing an American flag cape -- only to watch our team outplayed by an obviously superior side that probably should have beaten us by more than they did. On the other hand, the result of that game -- thanks to Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo -- ended up with the United States escaping the Group of Death and advancing to the Round of 16, one of the top three most significant and impressive achievements in the history of American soccer. It was an amazing afternoon… as long as you didn't mind losing.
It led to all sorts of confusion. We all left our collective sports bars -- or wandered into our collective employee lounges -- and sort of shrugged at each other. Today was a major breakthrough in this nation's soccer history. We knew this intellectually. But emotionally it was difficult to process. We were happier today after a loss than we were Sunday after a draw … by a lot.
This is part of our American transition to soccer, and I wonder how well some people are going to be able to handle it. Because for all the idiotic prattle being written about America and What's Wrong With Soccer -- and there is so, so much -- there are some parts of the game, the way it is scored and tallied and timed, that do, in fact, run counter to what many consider the American character. The athletic heroes that Americans profess to admire -- namely Michael Jordan, the most influential sports figure of the last 40 years -- are driven by a win-at-all-costs insanity that tends to ruin their lives off the field but provide us a manly, bodice-ripping ideal on it. We aren't supposed to celebrate losing, even if it benefits us. That's not part of The American Character.
(It is worth noting, by the way, that The American Character is basically a sloppy conflagration of caricatures of John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Ronald Reagan and Mike Ditka, the purview of privileged white men who also think Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame because he "hustled" and only embraced Muhammad Ali when it was expedient and risk-free for them to do so. These people are dying out, but they are not out of power.)
We measure ourselves by wins and losses, exclusively. The thing about this is that it is dumb. "Wins" and "losses" are the bluntest statistics imaginable, results that betray the process. When you look and see that the Oakland A's are 48-30 and have the best record in baseball, that is the result of a million little decisions, countless of which could have gone the other way for no reason other than blind damned luck. That could be 42-36, or even 39-39, without the A's doing anything particularly wrong. We write luck and chance into our records in other sports and acknowledge them only when we have to. The Detroit Tigers have a four-game lead in the AL Central. If they were in the AL West, they'd be four games out. But they're not. The Tigers' current success is in large part due to the struggles of the rest of their division. But it doesn't feel that way to the fans. It just feels like they're in first.
That's how we should be feeling about Thursday. The U.S. lost, but they are advancing because of what happened before then. They advanced because they tied Portugal and Ghana lost to them; they advanced because they lost 1-0 to Germany and Portgual lost 4-0. These things matter in all of our sports. But for some reason they make us feel strange in soccer.
I wonder if it's because, already, we've gotten a little spoiled by our soccer. The United States hasn't just advanced to the Round of 16 the last two World Cups, we've generally done it in the most dramatic way possible. The crazy stoppage time goal against Algeria in 2010. The John Brooks header against Ghana. Clint Dempsey's 82nd-minute goal to (almost) complete a wild comeback against Portugal. These are pants-wetting highlights that most nations, even the successful ones, don't often get. And we've had them happen so often that we can put together countless reaction videos, like it's nothing. Ask the Ivory Coast -- a nation with better team in recent years than the U.S., and with more on the line -- how many wild fan videos they have? Us? Our soccer history is this:
And this:
On Thursday, we didn't get to have a moment like that. Germany controlled every aspect of the game, and the U.S. didn't score. (The biggest roar at the bar I was at came from Ronaldo's goal.) There will be no reaction videos from the U.S.-Germany game. That makes it feel like this has lost momentum, like the U.S. somehow fell short.
But it didn't, and neither did we. The United States advanced with a loss because they deserved to advance with a loss. Ask the team how it feels after the loss.
Celebrating as #OneNationOneTeam today! Thanks for the support, #USA. Here we come, Knockout Round! pic.twitter.com/x641DAvaXO

They're happy! And you should be too. Because Spain would love to be watching its team. Or England. Or Italy. Or Ecuador. Or Portugal. But they're not. We are. It feels weird. It feels counterintuitive.
But you're gonna have to get over that. Because the United States plays Tuesday against Belgium, even though it lost today, even though your bar experience wasn't as satisfying as you thought it would be, even though it would drive Tony La Russa nuts. It's going to be another great party. It doesn't matter how you got there: All that matters is that you are there.
So go ahead and celebrate. It is fantastic what just happened. And there is more to come.

Ravens set to add LB McClain
Owings Mills, MD – Less than a week after being released by the Oakland Raiders, Rolando McClain has apparently found a new home.
The linebacker and former first-round pick has agreed to a one-year contract with the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, with NFL.com reporting the pact to be for $700,000 with additional incentives.
McClain is scheduled to take a physical in Baltimore on Friday, at which time the deal will become official.
The 23-year-old was released by Oakland on April 5 following a disappointing and turbulent three-year tenure with the Raiders, who selected the ex-Alabama star with the eighth overall selection of the 2010 draft. McClain was suspended for two games late last season after clashing with head coach Dennis Allen, then was declared an inactive for Oakland's final three contests.
McClain did start nine of the 11 games he played in during 2012 and recorded 62 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble. He set career bests with five sacks and 99 stops while making 14 starts the previous year.
The Ravens need to replace both starting inside linebackers from last year's championship squad, with team leader Ray Lewis now retired and Dannell Ellerbe signing with Miami as a free agent last month.
"It's a move that can't go wrong and I'm looking forward to playing in Baltimore, as the Ravens run the same or very similar defense as I was a part of at the University of Alabama," McClain told the Madison (AL) Weekly News on Wednesday.

text: Ominous, militant music written as a backdrop for in-game menus or subtle credit sequences. Featuring ominous strings, heroic brass, and snare, this piece works perfectly in any project that needs a military-style underscore. This piece is easily loopable, with about 1.5 seconds of reverb maintained so that the loop sounds realistic and not forced, or, if you want to move to a new cue, so that the transition is smooth. With a modern sound, this cue is great for anyone that needs a flexible yet understated military piece.

B D Baggies 'Dexter' Vintage distressed Polka Dot L/S Shirt - An American Tradition, since 1986, B D Baggies are pioneers of the soft washed shirt look.

The fantastic Retro polka dot detailing on this 'Dexter' shirt offers a touch of classic Mod style pitched against a worn in Indie fabric ground.
B D Baggies 'Dexter' long sleeve shirt in a Retro distressed blue textured cotton fabric. Reverse panel construction, so the fabric comes through much darker on the interior of the shirt.

November 16, 2012
In its continuing efforts to involve the public in an update of the Tahoe Basin Community Plan, Placer County will hold another in a series of community workshops on Wed., Nov. 28, 2012, at Granlibakken in Tahoe City. The meeting will be from 4p.m. to 8 p.m.
Placer County currently has nine community plans for the Tahoe Basin. Most are joint planning documents developed 20 years ago by the county and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA).
During the update process, Placer County has consolidated the nine plans into a single policy document with four planning areas. A team composed of community members is working on issues germane to each area. Each planning area will have its own distinct zoning ordinance and community-specific design guidelines. The four planning areas are:
Attending the November meeting will be the community design consultants, Dyett & Bahtia who will work with each team. The consultant has put together draft zoning district standards for each team. These standards are reflective of the work that the teams have done to date.
The draft zoning district standards will be distributed to the teams prior to the workshop and will be available on the Placer County website Monday (see the link below).
TRPA is in the process of updating its regional plan, and the County's Tahoe Basin Community Plan must be consistent with the regional plan.
The draft zoning district standards, agendas and presentations for the Nov. 28 meeting will also be available at the following website: Tahoe Basin Plan
Granlibakken is located at 725 Granlibakken Rd., in Tahoe City. For additional information about the meeting, please contact Supervising Planner Crystal Jacobsen at 530-745-3000.

That's the question being raised by farmers and farm groups as they begin to compare the new county loan rates with the loan rates available under the 1996 farm bill for wheat and other soon-to-be-harvested crops.
"We are aware the farm bill conference members acknowledged that USDA would likely utilize the change in loan rates mandated in the bill as an opportunity to make local adjustments within the parameters of the national average rates for the eligible crops," said Dave Frederickson, president of the National Farmers Union.
"In our view, this presented an opportunity for USDA to correct the many discrepancies and inequities between county loan rates for wheat and feed grains that existed under the old farm law which could distort producer production and storage decisions."
But the new loan rates appear to have worsened those inequities, Frederickson said in a letter to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees.
"We are concerned that the announced loan rates for these crops not only have failed to correct existing problems but may, in fact, exacerbate the distortions in some regions of the country," the letter stated.
Others were questioning why USDA made the adjustments and issued the new loan rates without requesting public comments on the changes.
When it announced the new rates, USDA said it did so because the new farm bill required it to make changes in county loan rates for all of the 2002 crops. But USDA personnel have been reviewing the loan rate and terminal structure for more than three years.
"The new county loan rate structure, which provides upward changes in most areas, reflects the most comprehensive adjustments in more than 15 years," the USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) said in a press release.
"The changes are intended to reduce cumulative market distortions and loan deficiency payment disparities that have emerged over the years. Some of the existing county loan rates trace to 1985 and no longer reflect the geographic patterns of market prices."
FSA said it did not make many changes in county soybean loan rates, which generally have been adjusted annually.
Some winter wheat farmers have complained that reductions in their county loan rates could cost them several thousands of dollars, and they question the legality of USDA changing those rates after they planted their 2002 crops last fall.
Frederickson said NFU has received reports that some inequities in corn loan rates occurring across county lines do not reflect reasonable market differentials. "And, the difference between the highest and lowest county loan rates for wheat is $2.64 per bushel," he noted.
"Some producers will receive a $1.69-per-bushel increase in their loan rate compared to the 2001 level; others will experience a 45-cent-per-bushel reduction even though the national average loan rate increased by 22 cents per bushel," he said.
USDA's announcing changes to the marketing loan rate program, after most producers had completed planting and some producers had completed harvest, only added to the blow for some producers, according to the NFU.
In his letter to the House and Senate committee leaders, Frederickson requested a hearing on the rationale behind USDA's county loan rate implementation and on the impacts these decisions have had on farming operations. A copy of the letter also was sent to Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman.

The well-documented critiques of the front-end and back-end software on HealthCare.gov beg the question of whether this critical site was properly designed — or, even worse, designed at all.
It has been reported that the front end was designed with an agile process; unfortunately, most agile processes reject and discourage "big design up front." In a nutshell, many agile processes — and especially extreme programming — reject the big design phase as part and parcel of rejecting the waterfall methodology. Agile processes follow more of an "organic" software development, where developers start coding the smallest increment possible and "grow" the working software up, little by little, with constant customer feedback. These agile methodologies call for "user stories" to design each small increment of the system being developed. To be fair, agile can work for some software projects, but I assert that it is the kiss of death for projects with many moving parts, multiple organizations and complex interactions.
Personally, I am a fan of design and system architecture, and I have witnessed many successful projects that resulted from good design. Furthermore, I flatly reject the notion that user stories can suffice for large IT projects like HealthCare.gov that require scalability, data integration, numerous system interfaces and other complexities. These need to be designed up front or the results can be disastrous, as the HealthCare.gov launch demonstrates. Where is the documentation for this system? I just submitted a FOIA request for it and will report on the results once I get a response.
The assertion by federal CTO Todd Park that volume was the only reason for the failures is a weak excuse at best, because designing for scalability (or better yet, designing for elasticity) should have been an obvious upfront requirement. For example, if HealthCare.gov uses a synchronous interface, as reported by Paul Smith, then it was not architected properly. Given that developers had three years to prepare for the Oct. 1 launch, improper design is inexcusable.
The Health and Human Services Department should come clean on these deficiencies for the sake of the rest of the federal agencies that could learn from its mistakes. Those who never admit their failures will never learn from them. Other federal agencies need to learn from HealthCare.gov. Those painful lessons on system design (or the lack thereof), system architecture (or the lack thereof) and elasticity (or the lack thereof) might then not be repeated.

Wow. So Agile is good enough for major military systems like the new stealth destroyer but not for a website. ::rolling my eyes::
@Cory you are correct. Apparently the changing requirements were a big part of the reason they could not deliver a working system. Nevertheless, they took TENS of MILLIONS of dollars in taxpayer money and said they could deliver a working product. For 60 million dollars or so...they could have hired testers themselves. The developers could have written test programs to exercise the site. They could have sent a guy to sit in congress every day and keep up with the hearings. They probably could have paid a lobbyist to try to influence the outcome. What did all of the money get spent on? Health care and other government services are vital...and millions depend on them. Nobody (except maybe advertisers) depends on Google or Amazon. I've worked on automating many systems and one thing that is a great idea is to have a manual backup procedure for critical systems. I think this is a must for processes that can't afford to wait if a server goes down. Unfortunately in this case, the software did not work, but there could have been other issues. If there is a deadline, then people should be able to sign up no matter what. That could have saved some face at least. Also, LOL @ the NSA comment.
Wow. All I can say is that the author has no clue how a good agile team develops software for complex sites. Here's a clue: In addition to user stories, there are system designs, architecture, scalability requirements, integration requirements, testing plans, and more, typically documented.
They used Waterfall for this project - Not Agile. Amazing.
You have made a flawed assumption that architecture and design are not part and parcel of an agile methodology. Nothing could be further from the truth, except, perhaps , in a style bastardized by the government. There is nothing wrong with the methodology, though, so you should have done your research before smearing it.

Artisan Interview: Joel Domreis of Courier Coffee
Joel Domreis of Courier Coffee Roasters in Portland, Oregon, has a business we envy. He roasts coffee in careful small batches, then delivers it by bike to a few select customers.
How does someone get into roasting coffee and delivering it by specially-made cargo bike? We asked Joel a few questions over email – read on for more and tips on where to find his coffee.
How did you get into roasting coffee?
For a long time I've wanted to be involved in making people coffee, because I see it as some huge nodal point. Coffee is a coming together point, and roasting is the strongest most immediate way I could get involved with coffee. I started going out for coffee when I was younger, and I've always felt that the culture, and really everything that goes along with the ritual, social part, community, space in time, begining end, to be really awesome. Coffee is a part of a way, a way, and a thing for me. It's hard not to get pretty far out into this.
I am roasting coffee only, and work to get my coffee to others. Roasting I discovered to be foundational to simply selling whole bean coffee, or brewing up drinks. One may take an unroasted bean, but produce something totally different from someone else roasting the same. Roasting is really the development of what we would think of drinking as coffee. And also who you get your coffee from becomes important, so that fed into my motivation for roasting coffee.
What's your favorite way to brew coffee at home?
My favorite way to brew coffee at home is with a porcelain Melitta cone, and a Swiss gold filter. Boil waiter and pour it over the grounds for about 2.5-3 min. I grind using a solis maestro plus conical burr home grinder.
We've recently fallen in love with the Aeropress – have you ever tried it?
I have an aeropress, my friends love it. It looks funny.
Can we buy coffee from your website?
My coffee is not available online – something about delivering to those within biking distance.
Thanks Joel!
If you're near Portland you can find Joel's coffee at several local restaurants, including Half and Half Cafe and the Little Red Bike Cafe. Check out both those blog links; Little Red Bike Cafe's blog is a great look at the ups, downs, and stories of starting a new cafe.

HOUSTON — The New York Jets will start Ryan Fitzpatrick on Sunday against the Houston Texans after he had thumb surgery last week.
Houston's quarterback situation is far less clear. Brian Hoyer has a concussion and hasn't practiced all week.
"I'd say it's in the questionable category and yes, I would say he would have to practice in order to play," coach Bill O'Brien said. "At least once, you know what I mean?"
If Hoyer can't go, T.J. Yates will get his first start since he was a rookie on Jan. 15, 2012, when the Texans lost 20-13 to the Ravens in the playoffs. The Texans picked up Brandon Weeden off waivers on Wednesday to back up Yates if Hoyer...

sounds like the Browns front office/coach is trying to force Hillis out of Cleveland or gain leverage on him in contract negotiaitons.. They are phasing him out of the offense for the less talented Hardesty and spreading rumors that he missed last weeks game because of his contract situation..ignoring the fact that he lost 10-2 lbs. Pretty pathetic stuff and a bad way to treat their best offensive player.

So Hillis' agent has come out and said he advised him not to play...so much for spreading rumors. Idk why it's such an issue anyways-a few players random thoughts become a media frenzy-smh. Hillis is great and needs to stay in Clev but he's not the team's best offensive player.

Originally posted by CuddersNice to know I'm not the only Browns fan around here, haha.
To your point, I think Cribbs should be viewed as a weapon first and foremost. He's a jack-of-all-trades and our best big play threat to boot. With how much this offense revolves around underneath stuff and mesh concepts, I wouldn't mind Cribbs getting more targets this year. But he's still way too inconsistent for my liking on the perimeter and I don't trust him enough to pencil him in as our long-term split-end, flanker, or slot. And, by the way, I absolutely love him in that role as a fourth wide out and full-time special teams demon. He brings a lot to the table for an offense and football team. But at this point his ceiling is a debate of plausible versus possible.
I'm interested to see how his scheme unfolds as well. Shurmur used the tools available to him as offensive coordinator of the Rams. In 2009, Steven Jackson had 324 rushing attempts, which was third most in the NFL. In 2010, Steven Jackson followed that up with 330 rushing attempts, which was second most in the NFL. So Shurmur's body of work certainly suggests that he isn't opposed to a run-heavy offense. Whether his play-calling in St. Louis was influenced by Spagnuolo's philosophies remains to be seen though.
His deep ball is a long-standing source of doubt though. I've gotten in numerous arguments so far about McCoy as the future of this organization. Quite frankly, I wasn't expecting him to light the world on fire in 2011. Far from it. All I was expecting was some tangible improvement in a few areas and he hasn't delivered those results. For being heralded as an accurate passer, I've been disappointed with him in that regard even in the short-to-intermediate ranges. He's leaving balls at his receiver's feet far too often. And, for being touted as a cerebral quarterback, he looks awfully uncomfortable and uncertain in the pocket.
McCoy's shortcomings are especially troubling if Shurmur does intend on implementing a pass-first system. I was never ready to buy into Colt as a guy that could put a pro team on his shoulders and carry an aerial attack. But, if he was surrounded with a plethora of talent on offense and backed with a strong defense, I thought he had a legitimate shot at being a reliable caretaker; however, if Shurmur intends to make him the identity of the offense, I think it's putting Colt in a precarious position. A struggling young passer without much help offensively in an environment notoriously ill-suited for passing games? Oh boy...
Hillis isn't an issue of fit. Hillis is a permeable back. He can carve out a spot in all types of offenses, including any variant of the West Coast system. He's a bruiser with plus athleticism and surprising softness in the passing game. I'd be mildly shocked if Hillis' role in this offense was related to anything other than his contract situation.
Who argues otherwise? In reality, the Browns have four guys that I would feel comfortable calling impact players. Joe Thomas, Alex Mack, Joe Haden, and Josh Cribbs as a special unit ace. Then they have a few players that are very solid contributors. Peyton Hillis, D'Qwell Jackson, Ahtyba Rubin, etc. I think Greg Little and Phil Taylor have fair potential to become impact players from what we've seen so far. But I really don't think anyone is arguing the Browns as contenders as currently constructed. The need for a talent infusion or two is quite obvious.
Personally, I'd leave Mack out of the equation, OC is a secondary position on a pro football team, a position that almost all teams fill with a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Thomas is certainly an impact player and Haden is close but they were expected to be since they were both top 10 picks. Cribbs is a very nice player but like Hester isn't really an every down player.
My philosophy is simple, learned over 50 years of watching pro sports teams build themselves into champions, 'you finish last to get the top end talent to finish first', constantly finishing in the middle keeps you there for years.
Sure, it is easy to say, top 10 talent especially top 5 talent won't make you a champion but you put a solid NFL GM in charge of a team and he will use those picks to produce a solid contender.
Yeah, we can all point out players who became impact players from being drafted later in round 1 and even the lower rounds but it is a very tough challenge to find them and very few teams can rebuild using later picks.
Look at NE, a team that develops talent very well but drafts later in round 1, they have the 32nd ranked defense with only one impact player on that side of the ball, Mayo, who by the way is the only high draft pick on their defense. So if we continue to totally waste our high round 1 picks by trading back, it is a sure fire recipe for mediocrity, and with an owner who cannot stay the course and tends to panic quickly, no GM is ever going to get the time with him, to use a slow method of development.
I'd say our future is currently bleak, it is going to take a real miracle to right this sinking ship.
Teams do not need a slew of top five picks to become competitive. It's popular to say on a draft site, but it's simply not true. You can find talented players and important pieces all over the draft. The only position your argument has its merits at is quarterback. But it isn't impossible to find a promising signal-caller unless you're drafting first overall. Not to mention, the Browns have the ammunition to make a move for a big-time quarterback prospect if it's deemed necessary next April.
Here I completely disagree, see above, I repeat, you finish last to get the talent to finish first through the draft. Sure, for years, Cincy, Buffalo, and even Arizona had high picks every year but they were all low income teams with very small scouting departments who lacked the funds to hire the top people to make their draft picks.
Detroit under Matt Millen is a perfect example of a horrible GM hired by a weak owner, who destroyed his team with high picks, but suddenly the owner gets lucky and finds a GM who got the job done with high picks and the Lions will only get better and be a top team for years.
I couldn't agree more on Big Ben. His style of play isn't easy to watch, but it's incredibly effective. Even when their defensive core completely falls apart outside of Timmons and Woodley, I think Ben's underrated ability keeps them very relevant within the division. But you're right. It's not like the Steelers are an unsurpassable road block. The same can be said for the Ravens.
That's a spot-on assessment of Cleveland's needs more or less. If Colt doesn't improve, quarterback is a first-round priority. So is a game-changing receiver and a stud pass rusher. Right tackle and guard are mid-round values to me. Personally, I would like the Browns to add some athleticism next to D'Qwell Jackson at linebacker. The second level of this defense is woefully unathletic. Free safety is probably a need too, I'm just not sure how dire yet.And proud of it!!!
Yup. Madden curse exists through coaching decisions now not just injury. Cleveland: Innovation for curses. ****
Have it your way, with BK (BoneKrusher)
seems like they suck at running the ball no matter who they put in there. I guess losing both of the starting OGs from last year and replacing them both with in all essence two rookies will do that.
I really don't get the whole not play hillis and until sunday hardly play evan moore (which was replaced with play watson a lot less). seems like we're taking our best playmakers off the field too much.
Our offense last year was Hillis and Watson. We need to get Hillis, Watson, and Cribbs the ball a LOT more if we're gonna do anything on offense. The west coast system is supposed to be about short passes with the backs and tight ends heavily involved. It seems like Colt's completion pct. is really low in part b/c we throw it downfield to our below average WRs too much.
Haven't been watching any Browns games, but how do you evaluate your run game?
Absolutely no push. Against the good front 4's, Trent essentially has guys in his face as soon as he takes the handoff. Our guard play in the rushing attack is pathetic.

I think I overestimated the strength of your OL when I drafted Trent in my fantasy leagues. I saw Joe Thomas, Alex Mack... a high pick in Mitchell Swartz and 2 Guards that were NFL serviceable.
Hahahaha! Too funny.

yeah, they keep the QB clean. Neither of our guards are maulers though and are both younger more finesse guys. Schwartz is a rookie (and he's actually done a fine job the past couple weeks since he got his NFL cherry busted by Jason Babin) and Thomas isn't having his best season. Not having any passing threat at all doesn't help Trent's case either.
In truth it's Trent too. He's still a rookie and feeling his way. I think there have been times he hasn't made the right cut or hit things as fast as he should have. I also hadn't realized till now how ineffective Watson and Cameron are in the run game. We really miss Alex Smith. Couple that with a rookie RT who's basically been hit or miss thru 3 games and a pair of pedestrian OGs who are better pass blockers then run blockers and you see the results. Not to mention a completely useless FB. Plus, our solid guys, Thomas and Mack, haven't played their best ball yet either.
The game tonight has the two best rookie RBs this year imo, Trent and Bernard Pierce. In case the score gets embarrassing, these two should be worth looking at and comparing.
Originally posted by borg9Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?
Until Weedon proves he can actually beat a defense by throwing, teams are going to continue with 7 or 8 bodies in the box making life miserable for the OL and RB's. Teams are simply saying Cleveland cannot beat you by throwing, so play defense to take away the run and Cleveland has no offense. And that will be the story the whole year.And proud of it!!!
I tuned in to the game late. Does anyone know what happened to Pinkston?

It is possible that the main title of the report Muscular Dystrophy, Becker is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Becker muscular dystrophy is in the category of inherited muscle wasting diseases caused by a gene abnormality (mutation) that results in deficient or abnormal production of the dystrophin protein (dystrophinopathies). The abnormal gene is called DMD and is located on the X chromosome. Becker muscular dystrophy follows x-linked recessive inheritance so it mostly affects males, but some females are affected. Becker muscular dystrophy usually begins in the teens or early twenties and symptoms vary greatly between affected individuals. Muscle deterioration progresses slowly but usually results in the need for a wheel chair. Muscles of the heart deteriorate (cardiomyopathy) in some affected individuals, and this process can become life-threatening. Learning disabilities involving visual abilities may be present.

LXer Weekly Roundup for 04-Dec-2011
Android Started Before iPhone: How True a Statement is That?: How much Apple's founder Steve Jobs hated Android is evident from his last conversations with his biographer, Walter Isaacson. Steve Jobs claimed that Android was a rip-off of Apple's iOS and that he will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong, to destroy Android. This created an uproar. In an interview with Reuters, Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, said that all these allegations are baseless and that Android project started well before the iPhone effort. Let's find out how true a statement that is.

#6 South Dakota State Comes From Behind to Southeastern Louisiana, 34-26
Sixth-ranked South Dakota State rallied from a 12-point third quarter deficit with 27 unanswered points, as the Jacks defense forced six turnovers in a 34-26 win over Southeastern Louisiana, Saturday night in front of 13,456 in Brookings.
SDSU (3-0) remained unbeaten despite being outgained by the Lions 506-345 in total offense.
On their first possession, the Jacks were going in reverse, as running back Zach Zenner was dropped for a one-yard loss, and quarterback Austin Sumner was sacked on third down, following an incomplete pass on second down. That was followed up by a 28-yard punt from Ethan Sawyer, and Southeastern Louisiana had great field position at the SDSU 36.
The Lions went to work on the ground from there, with a 10-yard run from running back Rasheed Harrell and a 20-yard run from quarterback Bryan Bennett setting up Harrell from a yard out and the visitors were up 7-0 after 3:35 and four offensive plays.
After another Jackrabbit punt, Southeastern Louisiana got the ball back on their own -5yard line and put together a nine-play, 78-yard drive, keyed by a Bennett to Tony McCrea 39-yard pass, setting up a 35-yard field goal from Seth Sebastian to make it 10-0.
Early in the second quarter, after the fourth SDSU punt of the first half, the Lions were knocking on the door again, as Bennett hit McCrea again, this time for 62-yards to the Jacks 18. McCrea had three catches for 108 yards in the first half. But this time, the South Dakota State defense was up to the challenge as linebacker T.J. Lalley forced a Xavier Roberson fumble two plays later, and the Jacks had the ball back on their own 10.
The offense got things going on the first play of the drive, as Sumner hoked up with Zenner for 59-yards to the SLU 39-yard line. Six plays later, it was Zenner covering the final two yards and the Jacks were on the board, trailing 10-7.
The Jackrabbits defense came up with another big play on the Lions' next drive, as Winston Wright picked off Bennett on the SDSU 34 with 5:11 left in the first half.
But when South Dakota State had to punt the ball back, Bennett mounted another long drive, 11 plays and 50 yards, and a Sebastian 36-yard field goal made it 13-7 at the half.
Bennett was 12-of-16 passing for 181 yards in the first half.
Zach Zener, the leading rusher in the nation coming in, was held to just 6 yards on 7 carries in the first half, as SLU outgained SDSU 274-142 in total offense. In the first 30-minutes, the Jacks had nearly as many punts (5) as first downs (6).
Southeastern Louisiana wasted no time getting something going in the third quarter, as Roberson took the opening kickoff of the second half, 47-yards to midfield.
The SDSU defense had a chance to get off the field, but on 3rd and 7 from the Jacks 23, Bennett hit McCrea for 22 yards to the one. Bennett took it in himself on the next play, but the Lions failed on a two-point conversion attempt and it was 19-7 Lions.
That 12-point advantage lasted all of one play and 13 seconds, as Zenner scampered 75-yards on the first play from scrimmage and just like that SDSU was back in it, down 19-14.
The Jacks grabbed the lead for the first time just before the end of the third quarter, as Sumner orchestrated a 9-play, 80-yard drive, connecting on three straight passes, before picking up a bad snap and running 20-yards for a touchdown. This time it was SDSU's turn to fail on a two-point conversion and it was 20-19 Jackrabbits with one quarter to play.
With 187 yards passing on the night, Sumner moved into third place on the list of all-time SDSU quarterbacks behind Ted Wahl and Ryan Berry.
With the Lions on the move on their next possession, the SDSU defense forced another turnover as Andrew Brown picked off Bennett at the Jacks 5, returning it to the 20.
After another South Dakota State punt, Bennett had the Lions in Jacks territory again, at the SDSU 29, but again the Lions put the ball on the ground, as Bennett fumbled and Doug Peete recovered on the SDSU 31 with 9:26 left.
The Jackrabbits seemed to put it out of reach late in the fourth, as Zenner found the end zone for the third time in the game with a 10-yard run with 4:28 left to extend the lead to 27-19. Zenner finished with 128 yards rushing.
Next it was the SDSU defense getting in the score column, as Dallas Brown picked off Bennett moments later, returning it 52-yards for a touchdown and a 34-19 lead.
The Lions weren't quite done, when Roberson returned the ensuing kickoff 82-yards for a touchdown to cut the SDSU lead to 34-26 with 2:14 left.
Things got quite interesting when SLU recovered the onside kick and drove to their 49 with 1:11 left, but again it was the Jackrabbit defense coming up big, as Brown grabbed his second interception of the night to seal the victory.
For the second straight game, SDSU committed only four penalties. Southeastern Louisiana was flagged 12 times for 115 yards.
The Jackrabbits play at Nebraska next Saturday afternoon at 2:30pm in a game you can here right here on ESPN 99.1.

Contrite Mackay facing fresh claims
Former Cardiff manager Malky Mackay offered a grovelling apology on Friday evening and vowed he would salvage his career - but hours later faced fresh allegations in the text message scandal.
The 42-year-old Scot insisted he is not racist, sexist, homophobic or anti-Semitic but accepted his behaviour had been "completely unacceptable".
Mackay has come in for a wave of criticism after his former club Cardiff submitted a dossier to the Football Association regarding his conduct and that of ex-head of recruitment Iain Moody.
An apologetic Malky Mackay says his discriminatory texts were 'unacceptable and inappropriate'
Mackay engaged in sending what have been reported as discriminatory, mocking texts, with the controversy apparently costing him the chance to get back into management with Crystal Palace, who were understood to be readying his appointment but are now looking elsewhere for their next boss.
Further damaging messages alleged to have come from Mackay were published by the Daily Mail on Friday night.
He earlier admitted sending key texts at the centre of the outrage at a time when his position was under scrutiny at Cardiff, who sacked Mackay last December despite him guiding the club into the Premier League for the first time in their history.
Mackay said: "Out of 10,000 text messages in and out of someone's phone I sent three and that being the case, looking at them they are completely unacceptable, inappropriate and for that and for any offence I've caused I sincerely apologise for that.
"I've received some but the three that I've sent are the ones that I'm accountable for and I feel I shouldn't have sent them.
"I did it in a period where I was under immense pressure and stress in terms of the relationships that were possibly not going too well at my football club at the time.
"But that doesn't excuse anything and was unacceptable."
He told Sky Sports News HQ: "I'm a manager, I'm a leader of people and it should not have happened. But before all that and foremost, I'm a human being and I made a mistake.
"I've been in a multi-cultural football environment for 20 years.
"I love British football and I am no racist, I am no sexist, I am no homophobe and I am not anti-Semitic."
He added: ''These are testing times - make no mistake about that. But I've got values and resilience and I've got a love for British football and I will come back from this."
Mackay is seeking help following his conduct, saying: "It's certainly something I've been involved with, speaking to my union, asking them about equality and diversity training and it's something I'll be going forward with."
The fallout from the scandal has been colossal, with the League Managers' Association coming under fire for defending Mackay, insisting in a statement on Thursday night that the texts were merely "friendly banter".
Cardiff called for LMA chief executive Richard Bevan to step down from his role.
Cardiff stated: "We.. find it entirely reprehensible that the LMA should itself put out a statement which seeks to dismiss deeply offensive racist comments as 'friendly banter'. If that is the view held by the LMA, as appears from its statement, we consider that Richard Bevan's position is untenable and we call for his resignation."
Mackay admitted the term "banter" was inappropriate as a defence, but said the statement was otherwise "very, very accurate".
When asked if he thought Bevan should resign, Mackay said: "No I don't, I absolutely don't."
Mackay added: "I've certainly never used the word 'banter' and that is not something I personally feel that it was, but I think the overall statement was very, very accurate.
"I agree that word is wrong and the LMA soon realised that and they've tried to rectify that today."
In its apology, released prior to Cardiff's statement, the LMA said: "The LMA apologises for some of its wording, in its release yesterday, which was inappropriate and has been perceived to trivialise matters of a racist, sexist or homophobic nature. That was certainly not our intention."
That clearly did not pacify Cardiff, who also said the LMA had known about the existence of the offensive messages involving Moody and Mackay for months and had therefore been ''complicit in the attempt to conceal these messages''.
Cardiff's statement added: "When the messages came to light, over three months ago, the club strongly encouraged and advised Mr Moody and Mr Mackay to deal with the issue directly with the FA.
"It was made clear to them, and their LMA-appointed lawyers, that the nature of the communications meant the club was under a duty to report their findings to the FA if they did not take appropriate action themselves.
"Nevertheless, with the backing of the LMA, Mr Moody and Mr Mackay chose to do nothing. The LMA were therefore complicit in the attempt to conceal these messages (of which there were many more than the two isolated texts acknowledged by Mr Mackay)."
Cardiff, owned by Malaysian Vincent Tan, believe they paid considerably over the odds for players last summer, when Mackay and Moody were tasked with strengthening a promoted squad.
Mackay stressed there was no wrongdoing on his part, and when asked if he had ever taken a 'bung', he said in his television interview: "Absolutely not, never in my life."
He added: "We were at a small Premier League club and you have to try to compete with the bigger clubs for the better players and we brought in some good players for the football club, and given time some of the other ones might have developed into that as well.
"We tried to do the best in our recruitment. We tried to bring in good players to the football club and in the five months I was there we managed to stay out of the bottom three with that group of players."

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you are viewing this in our app, click this link to see full story.
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. – "Front door open," the home's alarm system notifies the entire house that someone has opened the door.
"I was so excited. Thank you, God," a woman, known formerly as a "Diamond Kitty," recounted.
She could almost taste her freedom.
One of Kenndric Roberts' other Diamond Kitties, a 20-year-old mother who feared for her life, called 911 alleging that the 33-year-old was holding her and seven other women captive inside a lavish, sprawling mansion at 100 Strauss Lane in Sandy Springs, Ga.
"It's a house of full of girls and... if I try to leave, he'll try to kill me," the young woman told the 911 dispatcher on Tuesday, March 7 at 7:31 a.m.
AUDIO | Terrified 20-year-old makes desperate call from million-dollar home
Roberts, known to his gang, Gangster Disciple, as "King Lop," sent a text to all the women inside the house to gather for an emergency meeting, the former Diamond Kitty remembered.
It was around 10:30 a.m., and the Diamond Kitty who had called police was nowhere to be found.
He told the remaining women in the house, 'You know everything here that we're doing is legal, right?'
Moments later, there was a knock on the door.
"Sandy Springs Police, open the door!"
All of the women, ages 19-23, were separated and one opted to leave with the police.
"I was like, 'Oh, I'm so excited this is real,'" she said.
She scooped up everything she had accumulated while living there and bolted with the police.
"[I was] unhappy, lonely. I hated being there. I had to suck it up because I was afraid he would hurt my family," said the 19-year-old woman, who we are not naming because she is considered a victim in the case that's under investigation by the FBI.
RELATED | Inside the alleged human trafficking Sandy Springs mansion
She was 18 when she said she met Roberts, who she called Ken.
Today, inside her suburban Metro Atlanta home, she sits on the couch. Framed photos surround her in the living room of her and her sister as little girls dressed in frilly, lace dresses. She's always wanted to be a model. It's a dream that, she said, Roberts played to—promising her that she could make her dreams come true.
Like many of the women, also known as "Diamond Kitties," who lived inside the Sandy Springs mansion, she too met Roberts online through the dating service SeekingArrangement.com. Her friend at the time was talking to him, but she was only 17, she said. That's when he opted to talk to her since she was 18, offering her exactly what she needed: money to help her family.
He preyed on her financial struggles and her career goals, she said.
"[He offered] a modeling career. I was so interested because that's what I want to do," she remembered. And if she moved in with him, she wouldn't have to pay any bills.
She moved into an apartment with four other girls and Roberts in August, and within a week, she said, she signed a contract that stipulated that she would have to dance to live there.
"I didn't know it was going to get worse," she said.
But it would.
She agreed to audition for the Pink Pony and started working there almost immediately, joining three other women she lived with.
The other women living with Roberts, she said, were sent to work at the Pink Pony, Mardi Gras, Oasis, nearby strip clubs, as dancers. They too were recruited through the dating website, as well as through his company, Live Star Nation's Instagram page and other strip clubs.

"It was very different," she said about working in the strip club. "It was crazy. I'd never experienced anything like that in my life."
But, she continued, she got used to it. It was the norm. Everyone in the house danced.
Her life became one routine after another.
She was up at 8 a.m., to clean the house.
Her dancing shift was 7:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.
Eight hours.
Dancing in heels.
No food.
No breaks.
She thought about reaching out for help, but thought better of it because she said she feared his retaliation.
"I told them I was in a bad situation I was scared and I was with a guy who was taking all my money at the end of the night, then the house mom started asking me questions and I said never mind; I'm fine."
"He'd have people in the club watching us," she recalled. And Roberts would frequent the club, himself, about once a week, she said, to check up on them, watch them and then critique them for what he said they were doing wrong.
At the end of her shift, before leaving the club, she would have to text him "L" for leaving and then "H" when she was home, and to bed by 4 a.m.; however, some nights he would require them to stay up all night, she said.
She never saw any of the money she earned. Every dime, she said, went to him—nearly $1,000 a night, from six to seven nights a week.
"I think I put almost $100,000 in that man's pocket."
That money, she alleged, was used to deal heroin, cocaine, among other drugs.
From the apartment, they moved into a Doubletree Hotel in Tucker, Ga., for the next two months, after two hooded men, robbed her and the other women at gunpoint.
"I didn't want to die."
Roberts told her that they were rival gang members looking for him. And they soon moved.
They found and rented a house through Airbnb, until they moved into the lush Sandy Springs, million-dollar mansion in December.
But even though she lived just minutes from her mom, she was only able to see her mom four times while she lived with Roberts. And the money he promised her, $80,000 in her contract, to help her family, never reached her bank account.
Branded with loyalty
To show solidarity, she and the other women in his home received matching tattoos on their wrists—also pledging allegiance and homage to the gang that Roberts is affiliated with, the Gangster Disciples.
"He made us get tattoos," she said, not wanting to get the ink.
The tattoos included the letters, "LOP," which stood for "Loyalty Over Pride," at the top of their wrist, with the numbers "12 15 16 14" below, matching the tattoo on his chest, "12 L 15 O 16 P 14."
"He wanted us to put our pride aside and be loyal to him," she said.
Other women in the house had a second tattoo on their other wrist with the letters, "SOS," referring to the gang affiliation again and the abbreviation for "Sisters of Struggle." They knew more about Roberts, she said. They were on the "inside."
Identical tattoos weren't the only thing the women shared.
"He wanted us to be like sister-wives," she said of the other women, all of whom had sex with Roberts. She said she was forced to.
And the eight women living in the house were seemingly interchangeable.
"I felt like a robot living in that house," she said. "I was just a little puppet."
He dressed them alike. He chose their underwear. He chose their makeup. He chose their hair products and how they did their hair.
"That was my life, wearing the same things, the same purses the same glasses, hair everything was the same, even the bras and panties were the same."
He randomly took their phones, searching for anything and everything that he didn't approve of.
"I couldn't have a social life. I couldn't have any friends."
She was only allowed to leave the house for the club, grocery shopping or to get her nails done; and kept cameras rolling inside and outside the house to keep a close eye on everything that happened.
"He wasn't physical, just mentally screwed our heads up," she said.
Alleged victim's mother: He said, 'I will find you and kill you' like you
She remembered, he used to tear the women down, saying, "You're not good enough; you're not smart enough." And telling them they could leave, but then, in a swift 180, making threats on their lives and their families' lives.
"He said, 'You can leave if you want… [but] I'll screw your life up,'" she said of his threats that he would hurt her family, plant drugs on her, reminding her that he knew where her mom lived.
"We couldn't leave," she said.
A future that belongs to her
With long, red manicured nails, she talks with her hands and with confidence. She's been home for about a week and is already making plans for her future.
Situated on the couch, swipes her long hair out of her face, she said she wants to get into real estate with her family and flip houses. Although she isn't giving up on her modeling dreams either.
Inside her mom's cozy home, the fire is going and illuminates her left wrist and her tattoo—which the FBI told her that they would pay for her to get her tattoo removed because it's gang-affiliated. But it won't erase the pain or fear she carries with her.
"I'm still scared to this day, that he has someone out there ready to strike on my family," she said, further admitting that his threats are still fresh in her mind.
"He mentally missed me up," she said. "I think about it daily I wish it could leave my head."
Now, back in her mom's home, living with her teenage sister, she feels like she's free.
"I finally have my life back."
"I feel like I'm living in a dream…" and she doesn't want to return to her nightmare.
She hopes he's the one who feels like a robot—being told what to eat, when to eat, what to wear and when to sleep.
"Even though he didn't sell us for sex, he was still a pimp," she said of him taking advantage of women to make money for himself.
She wants any girl who might get caught up in dollar signs and promises to remember one thing.
"If it seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true… go with your gut feeling."
For her, going to the grocery store and buying anything she wants to eat is freedom.
"I can pick my own ice cream. I feel free," she said. "It's so great."
Closing up shop
When police arrived at the home they found eight women--at least six being held against their will. With the assistance of the FBI, Roberts was arrested.
Sandy Springs Police Department charged Roberts with six counts of false imprisonment, six counts of trafficking person for labor or servitude and two counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
An AK47 pistol and a Glock .45 cal. handgun were recovered during the investigation. And a total of eight adult females were assisted with leaving the residence.
After the initial 911 call, five additional victims came forward, bringing the total number of alleged victims, named in the case, to six.
"We believe that he'd been making promises to some of these ladies for modeling careers, financial assistance," Sandy Springs Police Sgt. Sam Worsham said.
Roberts is being held at the Fulton County Jail and waived his first appearance hearings on both Thursday for original charges and Friday for new charges.
There was no bond and he is being represented by the Public Defender's Office. His next court date is scheduled for March 24.
The FBI believes that there may be more victims.
As the investigation continues, any other victims or persons with additional information can contact the Sandy Springs Police Department or the FBI at (404) 679-9000.

The facility will be able to process around 60,000 bushels per hour in preparation for shipping to Asia. Mulder says that its great to see the private sector and public sector working together to increase farmers' access to the growing grain market in Asia.
