Jason Campbell Says He's a Leader, Dangit
For the second time in a matter of months, the particularly vocal among us have been arguing that a key D.C. sports personality is not fiery enough as a leader. First, it was Manny Acta, who defended himself by saying that bluster isn't necessarily effective, and that anyhow he would never fake it for TV cameras.
"I have very good control of my emotions," he said last June. "I can control my emotions extremely well. That doesn't mean that I'm perfect, and I'm not here and there going to snap. Because I do, behind closed doors."
"People didn't see those times behind closed doors where he was a very different guy one on one or with the team privately out of the sight of the media when he could be very forceful and direct," Stan Kasten said after Acta was fired.
Now, come September, people are complaining that Jason Campbell is too passive of a leader, not fiery enough, not willing to get in people's faces, not willing to get thrown out of games for kicking dirt on umpires' shoes. And Campbell's defense has certain Acta overtones. Here's what he said Monday to LaVar and Dukes on 106.7 The Fan, when LaVar suggested that some fans think Campbell doesn't do enough rabble-rousing on the sideline.
"See, that's not true, because [Sunday] I did a lot of that," Campbell said. "It's just not caught on TV. The camera's not on me 24-7, where they see me when I'm doing that. I was on people a lot [Sunday]. One time I got on my own self. People probably think you're crazy, fussing at your own self, but most definitely I was upset with the guy knocking the ball out of my hand.
"But other than that, I'm on guys. In practice I'm pushing guys, I'm on guys, I'm hollering at guys to pick it up, do what we've got to do to have a better practice. People just don't hear that and people just don't catch that on camera. And I'm not gonna do it when I know the camera's looking at me, so I can be like, 'Oh, I did it,' just because I know the camera's on me. I'm not doing it for that. I'm doing it when it's supposed to be done, and at the right time and the right place.
"Yeah, I do a lot of that. I'm calm and cool for the most part, and then sometimes there's a little something else that comes out of me, and it's not gonna always be caught on camera, where it's showing the whole world that 'Oh, he really gets onto his guys' or whatever. It's not about how you get onto somebody, but you're doing something for a purpose."
(Listen to the interview here.) Campbell said on the radio--just like he did to Jason Reid--that he had found fault with both his teammates and himself after the game.
"After watching the film, there's not one guy that can be like 'I didn't mess up, I can point the finger,' because if they do, they're lying," he said. "It can go from top to bottom, and each guy can point out things that they all could have done better. Coaches also."
He was also asked whether he's comfortable in this offense.
"You know, there's things that I feel like we can do, eventually I feel like we will get to and get to doing 'em," Campbell said. "One thing about it, you have a quarterback that has a strong arm and everything, likes to get the ball deeper downfield and hit those deeper and intermediate routes. And I think right now coaches, they watch the film, they just want to make sure if the time's gonna be there to hit those deeper routes, or are we having an understanding of how far we're supposed to get on the depth of routes....
"I think from coach's perspective, he probably just thought maybe this is not the time to try to put ourselves in position where we lose yardage, let's just try to keep things where we're moving in the pocket just because of the heat and the pressure that they bring."
When asked if he wanted to take more shots downfield, he said "every quarterback wants that," and "if a quarterback tell you they don't, then there's something wrong with them." And when asked if he has enough opportunities to try that, he said "Ummm" and paused.
"There's your answer right there," LaVar said, although Campbell later defended Zorn.
"Coach and myself were talking earlier, he's like of course there's more things he want to call, of course there's more things he wanted to do, but we didn't have the ball a lot earlier in the game to attack some of the stuff," Campbell said. "It was a little bit of a touch situation, because now it's hard to utilize some of the play action, utilize some of the things you wanted to do.
"And he knows there's things he wants to get to, calling things. And he understands players and what we have to do is that trust thing, we have to be able to trust each other, no matter what's called or no matter what's on the field.Eevery play's not gonna be a perfect play or a positive play but make sure you have more big ones at the end of the day than the ones that you mess up."

I can't wait to see what dimwitted Redskins fans have to say about Jason Campbell after he puts up 4,000 yards and 20+ TDs this season. The same people calling for his head now will be the ones saying they knew he had it in him all along.

Barno1: Thanks for your support of Jason he needs all of us pulling for him,he has a coach bent on "boxing" him in not allowing him to use his biggest weapon, his arm, in real life Jim Zorn is not head coach material you only need to look at last week's game plan for proof,Campbell has the paitence of Jobe dealing with Zorn i personally think Snyder made a huge mistake bringing Zorn to this team he has no experience the players don't respect him and his game planning is unimaginitive the question is what is Sherman Smith's role?

Just watch Tom Brady. Brady screws up, he puts it on himself and moves on. That does not change what Brady expects of the other guys. You don't see Brady sulk like the picture of Zorn and Campbell.
In the preseason game with the Skins, Brady was on the sidelines with his skills players talking with an urgent purpose.
Question: Why is Haynesworth not considered a "16 game a season" player? That's a new one on me. If not 16 is he a 14 or a 12 or an every other game player which would make him an 8?

Posted by: Peaux_Sucent | September 15, 2009 10:35 PM | Report abuse
jc sure was diplomatic when asked abt zorn's calling a nickel and dime game. yes, jc made mistakes, two big ones. but we didn't run the ball effectively and it was obvious that we needed to try to make them respect the pass in order to open up the running lanes. we had too many key penalties called that gave away or made 1st downs possible. we didn't tackle worth a dam and deangelo REALLY had a bad game. not only did he miss some tackles, but hakeem nicks ate hiz butt UP. landry and others missed stops trying to make big hits. i thought the first guy's job is to wrap him up and hold him up if possible so the second guy can make a big hit and maybe cause a fumble. we're doing it bass ackwards! in hoops you have to STOP the ball FIRST, then go for the steal! oh. orakpo had two tackles and looked lost. we didn't throw at at kelly or thomas, and we should have bcuz the giants ate santana's lunch. he showed some spirit and threw an uppercut with mean intentions, tho. maybe the two sophomores weren't getting open, it wasn't clear when i watched the replays. this passive defense sucks. it was ok previously bcuz we had a pretty much vanilla defense. but what's the point of spending that money to bring in playmakers and not letting them make plays now. that is either a coaching mistake or a lack of confidence by the coach to take any chances. like gregg williams tried to bottle up lavar arrington who we drafted to do the things the coach told him not to do. let these guys PLAY. and zorn needs to let his offensive coordinator DO HIS JOB. COACH ZORN: if you were any good at all calling plays, it would have shown by now. you were a decent qb, i'll give you that, but that sandlot play you called KILLED a drive. what in hades were you thinking abt? that we were gonna surprise 'em?? for the haters: it ain't just the quarterback, there's a WHOLE LOTTA stuff needing to be fixed here. immediately. and...
WASHINGTON POST REPORTERS: what's going on at practice this week. what happened at team meetings? what are we working on. write some gd stories about fixes being implemented. all of us can see something is wrong. report news dammit, don't just fuel the qb controversy. THAT will work itself one way or another, sooner or later. some of this reporting is beneath you. or should be.

JIM ZORN and his poor play calling are the problem with the offense!! I am so sick and tired of these so called football fans pointing fingers at JC. Pay attenion JC makes less mistakes than most other qbs. Jim Zorn needs to allow JC to win the game with that big arm of his instead of spending so much time trying not to loose it. JC now knows the plays on offense and he has plenty of weapons to use. We need a coach that is not afraid to lose by trying to win!!! JIM ZORN spends so much time trying not to loose it makes it hard for Washington TO WIN !!!!!!

Lets be honest, the skins don't have a good offense. They haven't in.. well a decade. 1999, that was the last time they were in the top 10 in the league in offense. To expect them to be anything more then average, without upgrading personnel, is a pipe dream.
These same players were 28th... yes 28th in the league in points per game last year. And the only change i can see is an older offensive line, and rb who we all know is past his prime based on the number of carries, which is a wall every single rb hits. So why was anyone surprised that we couldn't do anything against the giants, one of the best D's in the league?

one other thing: what happened to all those long punts we saw in preseason? 38 yards? there are high schoolers who can do that!
Posted by: dcjazzman | September 16, 2009 2:40 AM | Report abuse
Zorn AND Campbell are part of the problem. Zorn is in over his head and Campbell:
1) Holds onto the ball too long, because he doesn't realize that single coverage = OPEN in the NFL.
2) Still makes rookie mistakes like throwing the ball 3 yards past the line of scrimmage.
3) Opts for shorter routes that are covered more tightly than longer routes that are open.
4) Has zero pocket-awareness and poor footwork.
5) Struggles mightily in the red zone.

A true leader shouldn't have to go on the radio and "I'm a leader."
They just are and everyone knows it.
Campbell is not a leader and as the above poster said neither is Zorn.

You can want to take shots down the field all day long, but when you are given the opportunity and then miss the open man by 5 yards, but you keep hitting those 10-15 yard passes, guess what the coach is going to keep calling?

a real leader does not tell the world he is a leader, is he trying to convince himself???...6 years in the league and he has not gotten any better!! same stupid mistakes.

Lighten up Skins Fans. JZ will finally let JC be the Quaterback he is this Sunday. JC is the best offensive weapon we have in our arsenal. As I've stated before, JZ needs to allow that weapon to play up to its potential. Overmanagement by him and Saint Joe have done more harm than good.

We need to know if JC audibled into the Betts run on the 3rd down play in the Meadowlands. That was the worst call I have seen in a game in a few years. If Zorn called it, then he has no faith in his qb. If Campbell audibled into it, then the Skins might need to have his head examined

You know what guys, I agree with a lot of what is being said as it relates to Zorn & JC. I'll take the good with the bad. What I suggest we all do is be patient. It's the first week guys. It is toooo early to throw this team under the bus. No one is talking about the erratic play of Jay Cutler this wk. Let's give JC the benefit of the doubt before we crucify him.

Chinese state-owned banks sold dollars on Thursday as the yuan inched toward the psychological 7-per-dollar level, a level not seen in more than eight years, traders said. The yuan has now depreciated by more than 6 percent against the dollar so far this year, with its slide accelerating along with other emerging market currencies in recent weeks as the greenback surged on expectations of higher U.S. interest rates.
State-owned banks were offering dollar liquidity at around the 6.92 level to prevent the yuan from falling too fast, two currency traders said. The yuan "had no choice but to catch up with the strong dollar," one trader at a foreign bank in Shanghai said. "The 7-per-dollar level is becoming a threshold," the trader said.
The People's Bank of China set the mid-point rate at 6.9085 per dollar prior to the market open, weaker than the previous fix 6.8904. In the spot market, the yuan opened at 6.9240 per dollar and was changing hands at 6.9195 at midday, 5 pips weaker than the previous late session close and 0.16 percent softer than the midpoint.
Both the official guidance rate and the spot rate hit their weakest level since June 2008. In the offshore market, the yuan was trading 0.5 percent weaker than the onshore spot at 6.9507 per dollar. It fell past 6.96 level earlier on Thursday for the first time since it started trading overseas in late 2010.
Policy advisers told Reuters last week that the 7-per-dollar mark is not seen as a line in the sand, but said Beijing is likely to intervene to slow the yuan's descent if that level is tested too suddenly or if there are signs of a spike in capital flight.
The gap between the yuan's onshore and offshore rates widened to around 400 pips in morning trade, but traders said they had not seen, nor would they expect, intervention offshore to shrink the gap. "China has officially entered the IMF's reserve basket.
Intervention that is too obvious would draw much attention," said the trader at the foreign bank. The yuan is not alone in feeling the pressure from the rising dollar. Malaysia has been hard hit by capital outflows from emerging markets as investors expect U.S. interest rates to rise faster under the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, who is expected to opt for an expansionary fiscal strategy that will fuel inflation.

Joel and I are so grateful for this year, it is pretty hard to express in words. Both professionally and personally, the last 365 days have really been a dream. We often wake up and think 'If someone told me 2 years ago that we would be…." – we can't believe where we are right now could have been a possibility. It wasn't so long ago that Joel and I, just friends at this point, we're sitting around coffee shops, 'between jobs', daydreaming and planning, thinking of our futures. The winds of change stormed our gates and we found ourselves after years of friendship together, starting a business, finding day jobs, quitting day jobs for dream business, getting engaged, travelling around like a couple of Rory Calhouns.
All of this seems so unlikely, there are times I have to pinch myself, just to make sure this whole thing isn't a fabrication in my head. This is our reality.
We really can't thank our friends, family and clients enough either. Friends and family who stood by us while we hatched these nutty schemes and got together to start our lives as a couple. Clients who took a chance on us and trusted us with the most important day of their lives. We, in fact, would not be here without you. We'd probably still be bumming around coffee shops. So thank you. For getting us out of coffee shops. And making our dreams come true this year.
Happy 2014, dear friends. We wish you all the best.
Justyna & Joel

Hargrave House is an original Listed building in three acres dating back to the late 1700s with a purpose built addition and was acquired by Scimitar in the Autumn of 2000. The Care Hotel has 58 ensuite bedrooms, situated 10 minutes from junction 8 off the M11, and was refurbished and opened by Scimitar in January 2001.
It is situated in the charming picturesque village of Stansted Mountfitchet which dates back to Saxon times. Although the building is large and imposing, it has been structured into two wings, The Hargrave Wing housed by the original building and the Alice Grace wing added later in the 1990's yet still sympathetic and in keeping with the magnificent original.
It is not easy to describe the wealth of features contained in Hargrave House, so the only way to appreciate the building is by a visit. Suffice it to say that the high ceilings and wood paneling to the halls and stairs were attractive enough to be featured in the 'Lovejoy' antiques television series a few years ago.
Within the main building is the old hall lounge, with a licensed bar, leading to three separate lounges, the dining rooms and a splendid conservatory. There is ease of access throughout the building which is served by two modern passenger lifts and the Manager's office is situated on the ground floor immediately by the entrance hall, centrally sited between the two wings.
Hargrave House was recently rated by the Care Quality Commission, who are the UK's main independent regulator for all care services. Our rating is displayed below and you can click "See Report" to retrieve the details of the latest inspection.

Arnold Erik Jackson, lifelong island resident, 72, passed away January 2, 2008 at his home surrounded by family. He was a third generation islander.
He was born November 11, 1935 in Seattle to Erik and Eva (Ubel) Jackson. He graduated from Bainbridge High School in 1954. Arnold served in the Navy Reserves from 1952 to 1960. His first job was at the Wyckoff plant and then pursued other careers as a commercial fisherman, bus driver, truck driver and retired from Car Wash Enterprises in 1991. He then started his own business- Custom Tractor Services.
He was a Bainbridge Island Volunteer Firefighter for more than 45 years, and a member of the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce where he coordinated the Fourth of July parade for over 20 years, a member of the American Legion and Port Blakely Cemetery.
Arnold enjoyed racing cars, fishing, hunting and his dog Winchester.
An article by Tod Hornick, Founder and past president (2009-2010) of Bainbridge Fireworks
Why the Arnold Jackson Memorial Fireworks Display?
Arnold "Arnie" Jackson or fondly remembered as Growly for many years had been the organizer of the Grand Old Fourth parade procession through Winslow. He made sure the floats and displays made their way in a timely and orderly fashion. Always dressed in an American Flag styled vest riding his Honda 80 motor bike. Anybody who knew him will tell you he could motivate people to get moving in a unique way that only Arnold could.
Arnold was a 50 year veteran of our Bainbridge Island Fire Department. There was never a person that I knew that I would rather have on my side in an emergency. He knew what to do without a thought and was fearless in his execution. He is responsible for the Fire Dept. ladder truck that is a fine addition to our emergency services today. Most fire fighters on the department will have and be happy to share many a story about Arnie's antics.
Arnie spent 30+ years working at Car Wash Enterprises building and maintaining Brown Bear Car Washes. This was where I had the chance to work side by side with the man. Some would say that his methods where "old school" or unorthodox. I will say that whatever the case I am honestly who I am today in part because of the things that man taught me regarding work ethic and the need to do what needs to be done regardless of personal agenda.
There is a novel of stories to be told and shared about Arnie. No matter how long you have lived on the island chances are that you can ask someone you know and they will have a story that Arnold shows up as the leading force behind or directly in front of the scene.
With all being said, The Bainbridge Island Yacht Club is honored to present the First Annual Arnold Jackson
Fireworks Display.

SINGAPORE – I've been living in Asia for close to ten years now and have seen first hand how fast the World is changing. You don't realize how fast moving and energetic Asia is, until you go somewhere else. In my case this somewhere else is often when I go back to the US visiting my parents, or when I go to Europe for vacation and the occasional work related trips. This is usually when I think to myself, wait, these places haven't changed in the last ten years! In Asia, things are moving so fast that often you are seeing a new trend before you even got comfortable with the last one. Singapore is a fighter with heart, and it punches way above its weight class. I was in Nanning, China, a few months ago, and noticed that the biggest taxi company is now operated by Comfort Delgro. Similar things are happening everywhere. I see CP animal feed granaries in Manila port, large international companies setting up Asia headquarters in Singapore, and the relentless investment of mainland Chinese businesses in Hong Kong. This truly feels like the Asian century. The media hype we see in the news, I must say, doesn't even capture half of what's really happening on the ground. The energy is manic!
With an emerging (ascending) region with its 3 Billion+ people, there will be incredible opportunities. We all have limited time and energy, and the best way to invest those limited resources, is where the greatest macro opportunities manifest themselves. It's only maybe 5 years ago when I was hiring some people in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and thinking to myself, there is such a skill gap here, it'd be great to get some real professional expats to do the jobs. Lo and behold, 5 years later Standard Chartered bank set up one of their largest back office centers in KL. This is in addition to all the large centers set up by HP, IBM, DHL, etc.
I have friends who are living elsewhere and really want to ride the Asian wave. I always tell them, the hardest person to convince is yourself – we all have such deep rooted fears and insecurities. But once you make that leap, Asia offers tremendous opportunities. You have to be driven and adaptable. I personally think these are the most valuable attributes that can help you make it in Asia. Asia is not a country, but a huge array of different countries, peoples, languages, customs, and political sensitivities. But for the wanderers and the dreamers, the entrepreneurs and the doers, there is rarely such widespread opportunity laid out in front of you. I can see the growth lasting for decades to come. When I get old, I hope I'll be able to say with pride, "something happened here in the last 30 years, something wonderful and profound, something that changed the World, and I was a part of it."

Chiasmus in Helaman 6:
In 1967, John W. Welch first encountered the study of chiasmus in the New Testament. This led within a few weeks to his landmark discovery of chiasmus in the Book of Mormon, followed by the publication of several well-known articles and a book on this subject.1 Today, the study of inverted parallel structures in the Book of Mormon still continues. Most recently, another fine example of chiasmus was discerned in Helaman 6:7-13, the annual report for the sixty-fourth year of the Reign of the Judges, whose main features can be displayed as follows:
|"And behold, there was peace in all the land" (6:7)
|[Freedom of travel and trade in both lands is discussed (6:7–8).]
|"And it came to pass that they became exceedingly rich, both the Lamanites and the Nephites;
|and they did have an exceeding plenty of gold, and of silver, and of all manner of precious metals, both in the land south and in the land north" (6:9)
|"Now the land south
|was called Lehi, and
|the land north
|was called Mulek
|which was after the son of Zedekiah;
|for the Lord2
|did bring Mulek
|into the land north,
|and Lehi
|into the land south" (6:11)
|"And behold, there was all manner of gold in both these lands, and of silver, and of precious ore of every kind;
|and there were also curious workmen, who did work all kinds of ore and did refine it; and thus they did become rich" (6:11).
|[Economic prosperity in both lands is discussed (6:12–13).]
|"And thus the sixty and fourth year did pass away in peace" (6:13).
This composition is remarkable in several ways. First, the report itself is beautifully executed. Words, phrases, and ideas that appear in the first half are repeated with precision and balance in the second half. This entry exhibits both fine quality and admirable length.
Second, since the chiasm encompasses the entire report for the year, this unifying structure strongly suggests that the account was written as a single literary unit that Mormon copied verbatim from the Large Plates of Nephi into his abridgment. Apparently the contemporary historian used chiasmus to record an extraordinary year in the annals of his people. The report documents a great change that occurred during the sixty-fourth year involving prosperity, free travel, and peace between both the Nephites and Lamanites. Significant trade and peace treaties must have been entered into in order for this kind of peace and prosperity to occur, since before this time, restriction on travel was the norm in Nephite society, as is evidenced by Mosiah 7:1; 8:7; 28:1; Alma 23:2; 50:25; and Helaman 4:12. Official decrees of this type may be related to the misharum edicts of the Near East that typically proclaimed freedom for slaves and granted "equity" for the land. In addition to marking an unprecedented turning point in Nephite history, using chiasmus would insure against additions to or deletions from the text, since any alteration would be strikingly apparent.
Third, and most remarkable, the center of this chiasm involves two individual words. At the very apex, the words "Zedekiah" and "Lord" stand parallel to each other, which is intriguing since the Hebrew word for "Lord" constitutes the theophoric suffix -yah at the end of the name "Zedekiah."
Finally, it may be that other reports from antiquity were written in chiastic form. The Mesoamerican Chilam Balam of Chumayel, like Helaman 6, not only focuses chiastically on the migration of the people into the land they now occupy, but also similarly features, at the center, a word-play on the land's name, as J. E. S. Thompson has noted.3
This text deserves to take its place among the finest examples of chiasmus in the Book of Mormon and beyond. Through understanding this masterful composition, we can better appreciate the precision and richness of Old World stylistic influences in the Nephite historical records.
Based on research by John W. Welch, May 1987.
1. For example, John W. Welch, ed., Chiasmus in Antiquity (Hildesheim: Gerstenberg, 1981); and "Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon," BYU Studies 10 (Autumn 1969): 69-84. A full bibliography of publications about chiasmus is available from F.A.R.M.S.
2. In Hebrew, the theophoric suffix is yah = iah.

Google Sheets are great for managing students' gradebooks and keeping all sorts of organisational content for school. However, I find them a bit frustrating to use when it comes to checklists. Compared to dealing with checklists in notetaking apps like Evernote or Google Keep, creating and using checklists in Sheets feels rather cumbersome, particularly when you want to use them on a mobile devices such as a tablet or smartphone.
The solution: entering checklists with the help of a Google Form. What you have to do is
- create a sheet with a list of your students,
- then create a form (menu "tools"/"create form")
- For most purposes you will probably need only one question type which I call "students): choose "checkboxes" and copy the list of your students
In case you want to re-edit a checklist make sure to check
☑ Allow responders to edit responses after submitting
at the bottom of the form.
You can use checklists for: attendance, homework, in-class participation, return slips, paid money and much more. In case you want to use one form for different kinds of tasks, you will have to add a task question. If you have fixed categories a dropdown list is useful. In case you want to create ad-hoc checklists a text field will be more useful.
Using Google Forms for checkboxes has a number of advantages over using a separate notetaking app:
- the information is available directly in your gradebook
- automatic time stamp (no need to enter dates e.g. when checking attendance)
- statistical evaluation of the data (e.g. percentages)
You can try out my tutorial sheet by scanning the QR code or clicking on the form link below and observing what happens in the Google sheet.
You can also use this sheet as a template by making a copy in your Drive. All you have to do then is edit the student list, edit the form and drag out the formulae in the sheets in case you have more students than I have in my sample list.
Technical note:
I have been tinkering with this sheet for a while now. One of the problems I had to solve was the way Google handles the form entries when deleting entries, which created a lot of reference errors. So I had to create a more or less redundant copy "response sheet" of the form responses with the index function:
=index('Form responses'!A:A,row())
as a workaround for reference errors.
As far as the checking of entries in the sheet is concerned, there might be more elegant solutions as the one I have come up with. I'm always grateful for hints to make the sheet simpler.
