Vonn sets the standard in Super Combined … again!
Lindsey Vonn showed the rest of the field how to attack and win in the Super Combined discipline of the World Cup. Vonn skied a tactical race to win by just over two tenths of a second from Tina Maze and Nikki Hosp in third. The rearranged race, from Val d'Isere, was rich in talent on show but also a number of unfortunate crashes, including HEAD World Cup Rebels Maria Hoefl-Riesch and Lizzi Goergl in the slalom section of the race.
After the downhill section, led by Lindsey Vonn and with Lizzi Goergl and Maria Hoefl-Riesch in second and third, Vonn felt that she "had to risk a lot in the slalom," Vonn said. "When I got done with the downhill, with Tina so close, I knew she'd be dangerous, also Niki, also Maria … my biggest competitors today. I was just happy I was able to stay ahead of them. I definitely lost time to them in the slalom, but super-combined's aren't always about winning both runs but more skiing smart and making it to the finish. So I'm glad could do that today."
By the time Vonn left the start gate for the slalom section her lead had grown to 1.41 seconds over the leader in the finish from the downhill. Vonn is an experienced and intelligent racer and used her head as she skied strong down the steep pitch and then let her skis run across the flats. By the time she had crossed the line the lead had shrunk to 0.41 seconds but the light was green in the finish and that meant the win! "St. Moritz is a great hill for super combined and I felt like I had a really good downhill run," said Vonn. "I was a little bit nervous because I didn't think I had enough time ahead of the slalom girls like Tina, Nikki and Maria but I put together a solid slalom run to hang on to the lead."
Vonn's win, her seventh of the season so far and 48th in her illustrious career, gives her the most points that she has accumulated by this stage in the season ever: 1070.
On a bumper day for the HEAD racers, four made it into the top ten finishers and eight in total scored points!
1. Lindsey Vonn (USA) HEAD
2. Tina Maze (SLO)
3. Nikki Hosp (AUT)
6. Denise Feierabend (SUI) HEAD
7. Anna Fenninger (AUT) HEAD
9. Anja Paerson (SWE) HEAD

VAN METER — Two undefeated, state-ranked teams will walk onto the football field here Friday night when Mount Ayr and Van Meter square off in a key Class 1A District 7 contest.
Only one will walk away as the last remaining unbeaten in District 7.
Mount Ayr enters at 5-0 overall and 2-0 in District 7. Van Meter is 5-0 overall and 3-0 in district play.
"Definitely the winner of the game is in much better position when it's all said and done," said Delwyn Showalter, co-head coach of the second-ranked (Des Moines Register) Mount Ayr Raiders. "It's going to be a battle, no doubt about it. They bring almost everyone back. We bring a lot of people back. I expect nothing less than a hard-fought game. It's going to be a lot of fun. We're excited for the challenge."
Run defense
In last year's contest, played in Mount Ayr, the Raiders came away a 25-13 victor. Mount Ayr was successful in containing Van Meter's rushing attack in that contest, holding the Bulldogs to just 90 rushing yards in the contest.
Van Meter averaged 150 rushing yards per game last year.
"I thought we kept them from getting to the corner," Showalter said about last year's game. "We forced them back to the inside quite a bit. We were able to get a lot of guys to the ball, took away their cutback lane and didn't give them a lot of opportunities to get to the outside."
Mount Ayr's defensive line came up big in that game. Showalter expects the Raiders' defensive line to be one of the biggest keys in Friday's matchup once again, as the Raiders attempt to shut down Brandon Brittain and Cody Blackwell in the run game again.
Blackwell averages 113.6 rushing yards per game, while Brittain provides a dual-threat at the quarterback position, averaging 100 rushing yards per game.
"Those two definitely carry the load for them," Showalter said. "Brittain is a dangerous runner because you have to rush the quarterback when he's in his throwing mode, but if you get upfield too far, he'll pull it down and run on you. Blackwell does a nice job on their power game. He's a strong runner with a good burst of speed."
The Mount Ayr defensive line appears to be rounding into top shape at the right time for this challenge, however.
"Our front four might be the best front four since I've been here in the last 16 years," co-head coach Derek Lambert said. "They're extremely quick and big. That's a good combination."
"They've gotten better every ballgame," Showalter added. "They're doing a good job as a unit. We're quicker than we were up front a year ago, and we had a lot of speed up there last year. There's not a substitute for speed."
Joe Ricker, Jake Ricker, Mason Mercer and Jed McCreary form the nucleus of Mount Ayr's defensive line, and the four of them have combined to record 87 tackles this year, including solo tackles for loss and four solo sacks.
The Raider defense will have to be prepared to stop the passing game, as well. Brittain is 52-of-97 passing this year for 766 yards and five touchdowns compared to four interceptions.
Ben Flaherty leads the team with 16 catches, including three for touchdowns last week against Central Decatur, with 235 yards. Logan Crawford has 15 receptions for 312 yards and two scores.
"They do a good job of reading the defense," Showalter said. "Those two and Brittain are on the same page. If the defense is playing them inside, they'll run a fade route. If the defense is playing them outside, they'll run a quick slant."
The Raiders enter the game ranked second in Class 1A by the Des Moines Register and seventh by the Associated Press. Van Meter is ranked eighth in the Des Moines Register rankings and 10th in the AP poll.
The BCMoore Rankings, which uses a computer to rank teams based on offensive and defensive averages, as well as strength of schedule, has Mount Ayr ranked eighth in Class 1A and Van Meter ninth.
The Raiders come in with the eighth best offensive average in Class 1A at 39.40 points per game, compared to Van Meter's 41.80 points per game, ranking the Bulldogs seventh.
Mount Ayr owns the second best defensive average in the state at 5.80 points per game, while Van Meter ranks 10th at 12.20 points per game.
"You look at them, and it really is an awful lot like looking at our team," Showalter said. "We play similar styles on the offensive and defensive side. They have a big, strong running quarterback. It is an awful lot like looking in a mirror. We have to go out and execute, and that is the big thing."
Lambert feels the Raiders are up to the challenge.
"Van Meter is a tremendous football team," he said. "This ought to be the week for us to have a really good challenge. It's that time of the season our guys need a challenge, and play four solid quarters of football."

Georgia Rush Welcomed to Next Gen Series
TAMPA, Fla. - United Soccer Leagues announced today the acceptance of Georgia Rush, an affiliate of the largest youth soccer club in the world, into the Next Generation Series (NGS). The joint venture between USL and IMG Academy features a forward-looking, innovative, comprehensive, and unique program designed to develop the complete elite youth soccer player through a defined regimen of training, competition, testing, and evaluation.
As an affiliate of Rush Soccer, which covers 26 states and 10 countries, Georgia Rush is regarded as the leader in player development in Georgia and aims to be one of the best soccer clubs in the nation.
"I believe that if the [U.S.] is going to compete on the world stage in the next 10 years then its focus cannot be on the U16 and U18 age groups, it needs to be on the younger players," Georgia Rush Technical Director Russell Finch said. "Other leagues are focusing on initiating elite development leagues for 15, 16, 17 year olds when in Europe and South America they are signing professional contracts at this age. USL obviously understands the importance and has taken the initiative to implement NGS and its programs to ultimately educate and engrain good habits at an earlier age so that the final product is a complete one."
The Next Gen approach to total player development is the also the foundation upon which Georgia Rush was built. The Rush focus is to develop all 11 players on the field as soccer players who are comfortable with the ball at their feet, including the keeper. The 11 Rush Core Values prepare teams and players for the next level and the Next Gen Series will get them there even sooner.
The Next Gen Series is an exciting, new youth soccer initiative established to provide players, coaches and clubs the opportunity to take part in an the first elite-level league totally devoted to player development.
"We believe NGS is a perfect fit for us," continued Finch. "I am excited that NGS focuses on complete player development, unlike so many of the other leagues in place. It is going to further educate our players on the nutritional and mental toughness part of the game as well as evaluating them as athletes in an incredibly professional environment such as IMG."
The 2013 Next Gen Series format will consist of U12 and U14 boys and girls teams participating in an eight-month season beginning in August and culminating in April that will feature two evaluation/competition events at IMG. More than just another youth soccer league, top players will be identified through the NGS Player Tracking Program and invited to attend the NGS ID Training Camp at IMG presenting the unique opportunity for these elite soccer players to showcase their talents and train with distinguished IMG and NGS coaches.
The inspiration for the Next Gen Series was the repeated and consistent message received from top youth soccer clubs and coaches that they were seeking a fresh development initiative specifically geared toward younger teams and players. NGS was launched to fill the void by providing a comprehensive platform for clubs to best prepare their young players for the challenges which await them at the next level.
"The Next Gen Series is going to have a great impact on player development," former Major League Soccer player and NGS Director Abe Thompson said. "Georgia Rush is a premier club dedicated to developing players the right way. We share the same values and are excited to see the club, using the NGS platform, turn out elite players that will be the future of soccer in this country."
The world's largest and most advanced multi-sport training and education complex, IMG Academy hosted myriad soccer team training camps in 2012, including clubs such as the Seattle Sounders, D.C. United, Columbus Crew, Sweden's Malmö FF, as well as the U.S. Women's National Team preparing for the London Olympic Games and the Antigua & Barbuda Men's National Team preparing for World Cup qualifying.

Red Bull have denied extending Sebastian Vettel's contract in the wake of his latest Championship success...
Red Bull have denied rumours they extended Sebastian Vettel's contract in the wake of his latest Championship success.
Earlier this season, Vettel agreed a new deal with Red Bull that would see him remain with the Milton Keynes team until the end of 2014.
However, in the wake of his third World title, reports emerged claiming he had extended his deal for a further two seasons.
This, though, has been denied by Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko.
"We have a contract until 2014," Marko told Sport Bild. "That is it, nothing else and nothing more.
"I do not know where these rumours come from."

Ms. Goodling defnes herself
Sandy Levinson
A New York Times editorial on Ms. Goodling quotes from her testimony: "At heart, I am a fairly quiet girl, who tries to do the right thing and tries to treat people kindly along the way." It would, of course, be interesting to know if those who have had contact with her at the DOJ, including the fired US Attorneys, have found her all that "kindly," and it seems obvious that she strayed from her presumptive desire "to do the right thing." But what I find most interesting is this extremely ambitious 33-year-old's description of herself as a "girl." In my previous post, I took note of the various stereotypes, invidious and otherwise, invoked by Ms. Goodling's appearnce and career. Are we supposed to be more generously disposed to her than, say, to Kyle Sampson, her partner in presumptive illegality (whether or not, technically, "criminal misconduct"), because she's just a "girl," whereas he's a "man"? (Can anyone imagine him, or any other male witness, for that matter, describing himself as "a fairly quiet boy"?) We also know that she apparently broke down crying in one of her superiors' offices. No doubt this happened, but is this supposed to establish that she's "suffered enough" and that adults in the House and Senate, whether male or female, should simply pull their punches with regard to this "girl"?
Why when someone talks about their behavior as benevolent do we accept it?
The phrase "along the way" is a dead giveaway, she means "along my way", as in I'm passing you by, I'll smile a little at you without too much openly expressed contempt. Hopefully those along my way will feel that they have received something by watching me pass by.
Regardless of what they get, I'm passing them by, they are along my way, not important enough to be in my way.
It is a deeply corrosive thought: passing though the wastelands of ancient ways of doing stuff, how quaint.
Those were the days...
I'd say in modern language "girl" is used appropriately for females to a later age than males, probably due to the lack of an informal noun for 20s/30s females - males have "guys", and you'll hear people referring to "guys and girls"
Note - yes, there's "gals", but it has too much southern twang to it to have the same popularity in usage
That said, I'd probably agee that a 33-year old highly-professional female wouldn't tend to refer to herself as a girl
I agree with the second comment, but I'd add that the interesting question is then why girl has taken on this broader meaning while boy has not. Perhaps it's because of underlying assumptions regarding gender (girls remain "girls" for longer, whereas boys move on to "guys" and then "men"), but I'm not sure.
What is it with these weeping Republicans - first we had John Roberts' wife, then we had Scooter's wife and then in walks Monica. She was so manicured yesterday to replicate Alice in Wonderland it was startling, I expected her to put a white rabbit on the table at any minute. She exuded a perfectly contrived purity and innocence where she even delicately dipped her toe into the water to test being victimized a couple of times. Her 'not meaning to cross the line' responses MIGHT have worked as student body president but for her to even utter those words to reflect her actions while under the roof of the DoJ were hideous. I came away thinking it was a ruse to make the Dems look like Big Bad Wolves terrorizing the Rep sweetheart.
Although not a fan of overanalyzing inherently imprecise human speech, I see support for Prof. Levinson's inference of ulterior motive in Ms. Goodling's non-use of the seemingly more natural "person". It may be the influence of PC or reluctance to appear as faux-macho, but I can't imagine self-describing myself as a "man" except in some biological context, and "boy" unfortunately became inapplicable half a century ago.
Re "girlfriend", I'd give the Times a pass since there seems to be no totally satisfactory alternative: "partner" is IMO simply misusage of a word with well-established meaning; companion sounds like an escort; "posslq" was awkward, too narrowly applicable, and for whatever reasons didn't fly. My preference is for "friend" in casual social interactions where the degree of intimacy is irrelevant (and no one's business), which leads naturally to "X-friend" in those situations in which one wants to convey some degree of intimacy. X="man" or "woman" is impossibly awkward, which leaves "boy" or "girl". I refer to my sis-in-law's nearing-60 live-in as her "boyfriend" and it's quite natural for me.
It appears that there really is no preferred alternative; if there were, the issue wouldn't arise because by now it should be the common usage.
I think it's fairly common for mature (and by that I mean people > 30) individuals to refer to others as "boys" or "girls," as in: "I'm going out with the girls tonight," but not themselves.
I view Goodling's use of the word as an attempt to deny responsibility for her actions by seeing herself in puerile terms.
"girl" seems infantile, I agree. But "girlfriend" is used because we don't have a better term for "female that he or she is having sex with but who is not his or her wife". So it applies to all ages.
Yes, we use "girlfriend" (and "boyfriend") regardless of age because there is no adequate substitute for them. The alternatives like "partner" and "companion" do not necessarily indicate a romantic relationship.
Ms. Goodling's use of "girl" was no doubt calculated to draw sympathy. Referring to herself as "a fairly quiet woman" just would not elicit the same reaction. Perhaps she used "girl" on advice of counsel.
We've all heard men, sometimes of a fairly advanced age, refer to themselves as "just a good old country boy," usually in an effort to draw warmth, sympathy or understanding. Sometimes they even get it. And women sometimes say they are "a country girl."
I think the use of "girl" was a calculated effort to duck responsibility.
And look at the subsequent "I didn't MEAN to" violate the law, even though I well knew I was doing that at the time. Another instance of "I'm too yound to understand the complicated consequences of my actions."
Women could better evaluate that element of her performance, as they have direct insight into those sorts of games. Have we yet seen any of the "fairer sex" (sarcasm) weigh in on this?
While playing the testimony on c-span, I noticed that Goodling does not actually say "I am a fairly quiet girl...". She says, "I am a fairly quiet person," despite the fact that her submitted written testimony did use the word "girl". So I think its a bit unfair to highlight a phrase that while written, was not actually spoken - maybe it says something about the card her lawyer was trying play rather than herself.
There's another way to view her performance, that it's a genuine reflection of her professional behavior. If she was ill-qualified for the responsibilites of her position, as many in the press have alleged, maybe she knew it. It's conceivable that she was the exact same kind of shrinking violet on the job as she was before Congress. If your intention as a high-level administrator was to install people at DoJ who would meekly follow the politically-motivated dictates of bosses on high, isn't this exactly the kind of person you'd seek out precisely because of her meekness and malleability? Maybe we saw the real Monica Goodling as she carries herself every day.
"(Can anyone imagine him, or any other male witness, for that matter, describing himself as "a fairly quiet boy"?)"
I can quite easily imagine Alberto Gonzalez describing himself as "a fairly quiet boy." Then giggling.

# posted by Charles H. Schmidt : 6:50 PM
There have been comments from her co-workers that she was abrasive and arrogant. So her perforamnce before Congress might be something of an act.
Actually, and regrettably, these days it is common for 30-something females to refer to themselves and to their friends as "girls--maybe not while performing their professional roles, but socially---yes. Part of the rejection of the image of 1970's (their mothers')feminism--while holding onto the workplace benefits of that feminism.

Shannon Jensen offers something valuable, which is actual evidence. The Times, from which I drew my original posting, clearly relied on her written statement. I find it interesting that Ms. Goodling didn't stick to the script in her oral testimony. Although I don't suggest a separate congressional investigation :), I do wonder after the drafting of the written statement and if her canny lawyer persuaded her to use "girl," while her sense of professional decorum led her to use the far more appropriate "person."
""(Can anyone imagine him, or any other male witness, for that matter, describing himself as "a fairly quiet boy"?)""
"I can quite easily imagine Alberto Gonzalez describing himself as "a fairly quiet boy." Then giggling."

I could describe myself as such, and quite sincerely, consistent with an actual "area" of feeling. Then again, when writing outside law, my endeavors are not restricted to the intellectual.
Perhaps that is in part because I am a "Feminist" who refuses to deny equality of "emotional rights" to myself.
I think the distinction is made most clearly when you think that men can have sex with girls, and refer to them as such, but gay men can only have sex with men. A woman can't have sex with a boy, either. But a man can get a girl to have sex with him. "How to get girls" ads aren't advertising pedophilia services.
And here's your update: "Goodling regularly asked candidates for career jobs: 'What is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?'" according to an IG report released today.
She said what? Seriously? Regularly?
We just might just have a clue here how exactly Goodling defines herself. Perhaps as, oh, I don't know, George's slave?
It'd be funny except for the rest of it: "Monica M. Goodling and D. Kyle Sampson routinely broke the law" at Justice. I'm not laughing there.

Tuning your subs
How to make the bass in your car sound its best
Buck Pomerantz was born and raised in Philadelphia. His parents bought their first television set when he was born. He figured out how to run it by the time he was two. Besides athletics, his formative interests included electronics, amateur radio, music, and stage crew work. He got his BA in writing from Brown University. Then he joined a rock 'n roll band as their soundman and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia. After that venture failed, he spent time in Boston, New Orleans, and Berkeley. He worked in a music store in Austin manufacturing, installing, repairing, and operating sound systems for recording studios, clubs, and bands. He moved back to Charlottesville, ran a little recording studio and finally joined Crutchfield as a copywriter. He has 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren, but after a good nap he can still rock out.
More from Buck Pomerantz
A pair of Kenwood subs in a Sound Ordnance enclosure
One of the things I like most about subwoofers is that I can feel the musical emotion directly with my body. The low frequency beat often forces me to dance around, or, at the very least, nod my head along with the rhythm. That's why we all like music in the first place — it moves us.
It can take a little time and effort to get the exact bass sound you want from your subs, but the rewards of a well-tuned subwoofer system are overwhelmingly cool and physically satisfying.
First, set your speaker level
Step 1
Keep in mind, distortion is the enemy: it destroys speakers, subs, and eardrums. Distortion sounds like crackling, flapping, crunching, or hissing that interferes with the distinct sound of a musical instrument. If your full-range car speakers are run by an amplifier, it is crucial that that amp's gain is properly set to prevent distortion.
With the amp gain set low, play some music and turn up your receiver's volume until you hear the music distorting; then back off the volume until the music sounds clean again. Note or mark where the receiver's volume is. This setting is the maximum volume your receiver can go to and still play cleanly.
Now, turn the amp's gain up until you hear distortion again; then back off the gain slightly until the distortion goes away. The amp gain is now set, so you can lower the receiver volume to a more comfortable level. Even if your speaker system does not have an amplifier, you still need to find that maximum volume point on your receiver by turning it up to just below distortion level.
Now you're ready for some bass
Step 2
Turn your sub amp's gain to its lowest, most counter-clockwise position. Switch its low-pass filter on and set it as high, clockwise, as it will go. If it has a bass boost, turn it off. If it has a remote level control, set it to its middle position so, later, you have the choice of boosting or cutting the bass on an individual song.
Adjust your receiver's bass tone control to its middle, zero, or "flat" setting, whichever it's called on your model. If it has a subwoofer level control, set it, also, to its middle, or "no gain" setting. Sometimes receivers have a crossover, low-pass filter, or bass boost on their subwoofer output. Make sure those are all turned off, too.
Start by turning the gain down, and turn off your filters and bass boost.
Note: Do not use the low-pass filters, crossovers, or bass boosts on the receiver and the amplifier at the same time — use one or the other, but not both. The reason is that something called phase distortion generates around each filter or boost's crossover frequency, muddying up the sound.
Step 3
Play music through your receiver at about one-quarter volume. Turn up the gain of the subwoofer amp until the sound from your subwoofer completely overpowers the other speakers, without distorting.
Turn the gain up until it distorts, then back it off until the sound is clean again.
While listening to the music coming out of your sub, slowly adjust the sub amp's low-pass filter downward until all the high- and mid-frequency notes disappear.
Adjust the low-pass filter downward to eliminate high- and mid-frequency notes.
The low-pass filter eliminates the notes you don't want your subwoofer to play. It also acts like a tone control to capture the "edges" of the kick drum's sound; the attack and release of its boom. Filter out the cymbals, strings, vocals, and guitars. Leave the bass and the low drums.
Step 4
If you have a bass boost, try carefully turning it up to hear what the bass drum sounds like when you do. Applying just a little bass boost will bring up the kick a lot. Be careful with the bass boost, if you choose to use it — this is where distortion is often introduced into a system. If you hear distortion, lower the sub amp's gain until it goes away. Use the bass boost to feel the beat in the air your sub moves.
Now play with the bass boost.
Fine-tune the low-pass filter some more to make the bass drum sound tight and dry or loose and reverberant, according to your personal taste. I like reggae and soul, so my bass is plenty loud, but it's a bit drier than most people might like. The important thing is to keep adjusting your system until you hear something you like. When you're satisfied with the tone of your system's bass and kick, turn the sub amp's gain all the way down.
Blending it all together
Step 5
Turn up the receiver's volume to its maximum, distortion-free position. Then slowly turn up the sub amp's gain until the bass sounds balanced with the rest of the music. That should do it.
Run your remote bass boost or level control up and down a little to hear what it does. Because of the size of the acoustic space in a car, subwoofers sometimes don't combine their sound constructively with the rest of a system's sound waves. If your bass has plenty of volume but seems to lack punch, you can sometimes help it by reversing your sub's speaker leads. This reverses the subwoofer cone's forward and backward movements, which might put all the sound waves together better than the other way. Whichever way sounds best is the right way.
If you hear distortion coming from your subs, turn down the sub amp's gain. If, at this point, you cannot get enough bass out of your subwoofer to keep up with the other speakers without distorting, then you will need to get a bigger subwoofer and amplifier combination, with higher power-handling abilities. Do not lower the gain of your full-range amplifier to try and match your lack of subwoofer volume. This would endanger your full-range speakers (when the amp sends out a clipped signal) without achieving the goal of clean, full sound, which is why you put in a subwoofer to begin with. More power, especially in the bass, is always better than not having enough.
Now you should be able to enjoy the robust fullness and beat of your music with your sub tuned up to match your system's capabilities and your ear's preference. Just remember to be polite, and turn your boom volume down when it might bother other people.

I have been pretty vocal these past few months that if Moore does sign with another team that I can really see Devlin being promoted to #2. Then I see the team drafting a quarterback in round 5 or 6 to be the #3 and also compete/push Devlin.
I have been pretty vocal these past few months that if Moore does sign with another team that I can really see Devlin being promoted to #2. Then I see the team drafting a quarterback in round 5 or 6 to be the #3 and also compete/push Devlin.
Hate to see this guy go, moves Pat Devlin a little closer to being the starter if Ryan Tannehill stays the same and does not improve.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------
Highly doubt Moore will get a "fair" shot on any NFL team.
Only ones that come to mind will want a fresh start with a new QB.
Jags, Chiefs will likely role with Gabbert and Cassel and draft QB's to groom.
Raiders will likely take a mid round QB to groom under Palmer.
Bills will draft QB out of Syracuse.
Cards will either draft a QB or roll the dice with Kolb and Skeelton.
I'm sure some team will promise him a "fair" shot in camp with decent money, but just dont see Moore as a starting QB on a NFL team as they stand today.
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Moore is a nice guy......and a fumble waiting to happen. Good luck to him.
Matt Moore proved he could start and I felt he was never given the fair chance to improve. I mean when you flirt with the girl who has no interest in you (Peyton Manning) and you draft a QB as your number 1 pick, what kind of message does that send to Moore?
He had decent numbers when Henne (the old QB of the future got off us to an 0-3) was supposed to be the QB of the future by many on this board, and by the way, Tannehill started us out 0-3 in 2012.
Not many teams make the playoffs starting out 0-3.
happy trails matt moore...best case he's getting some other real comp in camp or the team he signs with is burning a high pick on a qb for the future...no ones handing him anything...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
I want Moore on the dolphins. I don't want him on the Jets. that said I think he deserves to start on an NFL team and I even that means the Jets I would do it if I were him. Conversely moore makes perfect sense for the Jets. They can probably aford gim and he is better than Sanchez. Especially as a team leader. Moore is a competitor. Lets just hope another team outside our division gives him the chance to start.
I expect Miami will give Devlin every opportunity to take the reigns on the back up quarterback job. That is how well run teams do it. They develop quarterbacks in house.
I'll be a Matt Moore fan for the rest of his career aside from him joining a rival. Classy all the way. He deserves a fair chance to start in the league.
Jets suck, Bills suck, Patriots suck.

Stefano Domenicali believes Fernando Alonso deserved the title and would have wrapped it up had his season not been cut to just 18 races...
Stefano Domenicali believes Fernando Alonso deserved the title and would have wrapped it up had his season not been cut to just 18 races.
Despite finishing second in Sunday's season finale in Brazil, Alonso lost the Championship to Sebastian Vettel by three points.
However, it could have been a very different story had the Spaniard not be taken out of the Belgium and Japanese GPs, races that Vettel finished second and first.
"Yes, we are proud of him," Domenicali said of his driver.
"But we are very disappointed because the one who deserved this Championship was really him.
"It is a shame because, after such a long season that we really fight in all conditions, we raced 18 races and not 20 - and being second by three points is not a lot. But that is the way it is."
The team boss added that the title had not been lost in Brazil but rather earlier in the season in Belgium and Japan.
"Watch the facts," he told Autosport. "Zero points in two races so we have done what we have done with 18 races.
"The others had 20 - and the points were over 20 races. These are facts, not words."
But while Domenicali was undoubtedly disappointed, the Italian could only marvel at Vettel's accomplishments on Sunday.
"Sometimes there is a sign of destiny where you really can appreciate what is the direction of the wind.
"After the first lap, after seeing what has happened and what was the outcome of the first lap, you start to think wow! For sure we need to do a better job next year."

ETSU football releases finalized schedule
Monday, May 05, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 5, 2003) - East Tennessee State head football coach Paul Hamilton released the team's finalized 2003 schedule on Monday. The Buccaneers will open the season Thursday, Aug. 28 at Eastern Michigan and will return to Memorial Center to play their first home game of the season on Thursday, Sept. 4 against Concord College. ETSU will face other non-conference foes such as UT-Martin (Sept. 11) and Liberty (Oct. 18). The conference schedule will sport the same tough Southern Conference foes, including trips to Appalachian State (Oct. 4), Furman (Oct. 25) and Wofford (Nov. 8), as well as a home contest against perennial national power Georgia Southern (Nov. 1). "We're excited about opening the season at Eastern Michigan against a member of the Mid-American Conference," Hamilton said. "We think our non-conference schedule is one we can be very competitive against, and our Southern Conference schedule again features some of the best teams in all of Division I-AA football. Our team is looking forward to playing this schedule and having a very respectable showing that will make our fans and supporters proud."

Michael Miehl is an AP chemistry and honors physics teacher at Sherwood High School, Sandy Spring. He was interviewed Nov. 7 at the school.
How did you get into science and teaching it?
I think it started back when I was a kid. I liked discovery. I liked being outside: animals, plants, gardening, looking at the stars, learning their names. I thought I was good at it.
But I was into other things — music and math. I went to a Catholic college and got interested in theology and philosophy.
The natural progression for a scientist was to get a Ph. D. and I did a summer internship at the University of Pittsburgh and I saw that it was a lot of time alone in a lab. I prefered working with people rather than only with chemicals.
In my senior year of college I started teaching and that�s when it started. I loved science, I didn�t want to give that up. I loved working with people so I thought teaching was a good match.
Has it been?
It�s been awesome. The kids always challenge you. I mean that in the positive sense. They cause you to grow.
What do you like best about teaching?
I really enjoy the kids: their questions, their curiosity. I feel I can help in some way. Perhaps they can grow up to be questioning, not take everything just the way they are told.
What is the hardest part?
I guess the part that takes me away from what I want to do is following up on kids that are not doing [their work]. It usually involves parental contact and you have to be sensitive and the most challenging thing is, it�s out of your hands.
I know you work with a scientist from the AAAS/SSE STEM [American Association for the Advancement of Science/ Senior Scientists and Engineers -Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] volunteer program in your AP Chemistry class. Can you tell me about that?
That is Robert Thomas. What we do with Rob is support the interest in chemistry and take it further with applications of the chemistry we are learning. He comes once a week. He does presentations, other scientists [in the program] advise or help with science fair projects, it depends on what they want to do.
Through Rob the AP chemistry class went on a field trip which, as far as I know, is the first to visit the WSSC Water Analysis Plant in Silver Spring and we went to the National Science Festival.
Does he co-teach with you?
No, he selects a topic, something he is familiar with as an analytical chemist and that has to do with what we are doing or something in the news.
For instance when there was the Fukushima Power Plant meltdown (in Japan), he discussed how radioactivity is measured and how it�s analyzed. He also got into the politics of nuclear power, just to have the kids think about it.
Another time he discussed the metals used in cell phones. Many are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The analogy is of the Blood Diamonds of Sierra Leone. Through analytical chemistry there are ways to trace where the metals come from. It�s a long, complicated thing he was able to [explain] whereas I couldn�t.
Does he take one class period a week from you?
Yes. We try to dialogue and I�m always in the classroom if a student has questions. It�s a way to get them to think about what they are learning beyond just to get an A on a test. You want them to keep that interest.
What do you want to leave your students with?
Just to be curious and relate that to the world to make it a better place. There are so many things chemistry can rectify. I want them to have a holistic view of chemistry not just to be good test takers.

http://www.whas11.com/news/politics/...177983891.html"This is not a frivolous thing," Yarmuth said Thursday. "I think she is definitely interested in seeking public office. She has a great interest in public policy, and so I have encouraged her to do that."
Yarmuth also stirred controversy in his election night pledge to do everything he can to deny McConnell a sixth term in the Senate.
"It's funny that a day after the leader of their party, President Obama, called for elected officials to bridge the partisan divide, the Kentucky Democrat party is already sharpening their knives," said Jesse Benton, McConnell's campaign manager, in a statement.
"Still, their desperation is understandable as they no doubt realize what a daunting task it will be to run against Senator McConnell and his un-matched record of serious, principled leadership," Benton continued.
A University of Kentucky graduate with a degree in French, Judd lives in Tennessee and works in Hollywood but bleeds Kentucky blue, often attending and enthusiastically cheering Wildcat basketball games.
WHAS11 News has learned that the actress, a Barack Obama delegate at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, has been in conversations with influential Kentucky Democrats for months.
This is a horrible idea by Yarmuth and the Democratic party of Kentucky. She faces an uphill battle in this and probably has no shot at winning. All McConnell has to do is run ads showing that she has been living in Tennessee for the past number years and then tie her to the "liberals in Hollywood" and she's toast. I don't care how big a UK fan she is, coal miners won't vote for her. McConnell usually runs a tight, vicious campaign. She wouldn't survive it.

This story was updated at 3:40 p.m. July 9.
It is not clear whether a Rockville teen killed herself or whether she died at the hand of U.S. Army recruiter Staff Sgt. Adam Anthony Arndt, according to a report released July 3 by Montgomery County Police.
Police found Arndt, 31, and Michelle Miller, 17, dead in Arndt's home on Pinnacle Drive in Germantown on April 8, and had been investigating the incident as a murder-suicide in conjunction with the Army's criminal investigation unit.
Police released the report July 3 from the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which ruled the cause of death for Arndt as suicide but left the cause of death for Miller as undetermined.
"It was not a clear-cut case," Montgomery County Police spokesman Capt. Jim Daly told The Gazette.
"We were relying on the ME [medical examiner] autopsy report and their finding. We were hoping what they were able to give us would allow us to come to a conclusion and they were not able to do that. They cannot say conclusively he killed her or she killed herself," he said.
Police found a .45-caliber handgun at the scene, which was not issued by the military and was Arndt's personal weapon, said Capt. Marcus Jones, director of the Montgomery County Police Department's Major Crimes Division.
Investigators made the call to describe the incident as a murder-suicide very early in the investigation, and those types of classifications can often change once forensic evidence comes back later, Jones said.
He said they looked at information such as the single gun, the way the bodies were positioned when they were found, ballistic evidence, and entry and exit wounds, but weren't able to make a definitive decision on Miller's cause of death.
A blood splatter analyst brought in to look at the case also was unable to reach a conclusion, he said.
Miller's relatives say she was planning to enter the U.S. Army Reserves after graduation, and had been training with Arndt, who helped recruit her.
Arndt contacted Miller the evening of April 7, indicating that he was suicidal, and Miller went to his home to try to help, according to her aunt.
Jones said investigators believe Miller arrived at Arndt's home sometime around 9:30 p.m. on April 7. Police have video of the pair arriving shortly after midnight at an Exxon gas station at Md. 118 and Crystal Rock Drive, where Arndt bought cigarettes.
Judging from the video, they seemed like a normal couple, smiling, laughing and hugging, and Miller didn't seem to be there against her will, he said.
Police believe they returned to Arndt's home around 1 a.m. and died sometime between then and around 8 a.m., when officers found Arndt and Miller dead in the home, each from a single gunshot wound, Jones said.
There was no sign of a struggle in the apartment, and no neighbors reported hearing any sign of an argument, he said.
Daly said he received the medical examiner's report Friday and notified both the Miller and Arndt families of its findings.
Daly said the examination involved the collection of evidence and the examination and interpretation of that evidence.
"The ruling of undetermined is indicative of the amount of investigation and interpretation of the evidence," Daly said. "We have investigated every aspect of this case we have. We have nothing left."
The Miller family filed a claim April 29 with the Office of the Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Army, the first step in a planned lawsuit seeking $10 million in damages from the Army, said attorney Karl Protil, who is representing Miller's family.
Protil said Tuesday he had not yet seen the medical examiner and police reports, but said he did their findings would have little impact on their claim.
"It's not about the specifics of what happened relating to her death," he said, explaining that the family's claim is about how Arndt was supervised.
Regardless of the outcome of the medical examiner's report, he said he did not believe Miller would kill herself.
Miller was "very forward thinking," he said.
"Nothing she said would lead us or anyone to believe she would harm herself," Protil said.

While Sebastian Vettel says it was "good" to know Red Bull are up there, he admits lap times are not the "important thing" on a Friday...
While Sebastian Vettel says it was "good" to know Red Bull are up there, he admits lap times are not the "important thing" on a Friday.
The reigning World Champion kicked off his quest for a fourth successive Drivers' title with a double P1 in Friday's practices for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
Leading a Red Bull 1-2 by the end of the day, Vettel showed that his RB9 had pace on both the medium and the supersoft Pirelli compounds.
The German finished the day with a 1:25.908, which put him 0.264s up on Mark Webber.
"I have to say it was a very good day for us," Vettel said. "Surely one thing is to look at the timesheets but that's not the important thing today.
"For sure it feels good to know that you're kind of up there somewhere but I have to say it was a very good day considering it was the first day of the season; we didn't have any problems, no major dramas so it was a very quiet day and we got through the programme so I'm very happy with that."
Friday's running took place on a warm track despite the cloudy skies, however, rain is forecast for Saturday, prompting Vettel to declare that Red Bull cannot relax.
"We know a little bit more than yesterday, that's for sure, but I think we have to be aware of the fact that conditions can change.
"A couple of degrees make a massive difference with these tyres so for today I think we are very happy but tomorrow could be another day so I think there's room for improvement and we need to keep our eyes open and see what happens.
"When we arrived it was very hot and since then it's got cooler. How much that has an impact on tyres and how they work and car balance we can't really predict but we need to be ready to change.
"Even though today was a good day - I was happy with the balance - the conditions will change so we need to be aware of that and switched on to make the right choices."

He is now co-hosting "The Big Tigger Morning Show" on WPGC in Washington DC. Currently, Donnell can be seen regularly on E!'s hit show "Chelsea Lately," MTV's new show "Hatin.'". His new 1 Hour Stand-Up "Ashy to Classy" premiered on Comedy Central October 23, 2010 is also available in stores on DVD. He also enjoyed reprising his character of Day-Day Price on HBO's Emmy-Award winning series "The Wire" during a 3-episode arc, during the show's final season (2007- 2008). In 2007, Donnell co-created and starred in Heavy.com's hit web series "From Ashy to Classy", in which Donnell portrays the loveable yet clueless culture critic, Ashford Lawrence.

While in the Air Force, Donnell's wordplay shotdown more military personnel than the G.I. issued arms. When Donnell returned to the States and settled into civilian life, he decided to check out the local comedy scene in D.C. He quickly became the "official heckler" as he ate comedians alive from the audience.
One day a local comedian challenged Donnell to bring his act to the stage. Six months later Donnell was performing on HBO's Def Comedy Jam.From his weekly guest appearances on New York's Hot 97 Morning Show, to his role in the blockbuster Spider-Man II and his position as resident "Funny Guy" on the Ricki Lake Show, Donnell rise to stardom may not have been "overnight", but the journey has given him the life experience to keep his humor edgy and relevant.

Ana gave an interview to ITF World magazine, looking ahead to the Fed Cup final, which sees Serbia take on defending champions the Czech Republic in Prague in November.
The following is an extract from the interview transcript with journalist Alexandra Willis:
Is it very different now, being one of the older, experienced members of the team, than when you made your debut in 2006?
In some ways it is, because back then I was like a rookie and I didn't really have much idea how things worked. But Serbia has a young history in Fed Cup and there aren't really any veteran players in their 30s. The team is still young, even though I'm one of the more experienced players.
How satisfying was it to beat Russia away from home, in Moscow?
I think it was a great achievement and we are all very proud of it. Russia has kind of dominated the Fed Cup over the last five years or so and beating them on their home courts has to be one the most difficult challenges in women's tennis. It is even more satisfying considering that they beat us in Belgrade two years ago, so we got our revenge.
What do you think will be your biggest challenge against the Czech Republic?
Obviously Kvitova is their strongest player. Her improvement has been amazing and she's a very, very tough opponent, with her lefty serve and winners from all over the court. I'm sure that Jelena or I will have to beat her and even then it may not be enough – anything can happen in Fed Cup. They will have the crowd on their side but we showed against Russia that we can handle a tough atmosphere.
What does it mean for Serbian tennis to be playing in a first ever Fed Cup final?
It's huge for our country. The guys did so well in Davis Cup and brought a lot of joy to the people in Serbia and we hope that we can do the same. Tennis is very popular already in Serbia and I think winning the Fed Cup would inspire even more kids to play tennis. It might be hard to find a court to play on soon!
