Police say no-one else was injured.
The death takes Victoria's road toll to three, compared to five at the same time last year.

Fox's Greta Van Susteren Laments Lack Of Focus On Poverty Despite Providing Platform To Food Stamp Detractors
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren lamented that "we do nothing about the poor," but has repeatedly hosted guests who have attacked the federal food stamp program, which helps keep millions out of poverty and limits the effects of poverty and unemployment.
On the June 9 edition of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Van Susteren decried a lack of attention to impoverished Americans, saying, "The thing that disturbs me is that the economy I see is a three legged stool: the rich, the middle class, and the poor. And all three have to be winning and surviving, and we do nothing about the poor. You know, we play with all these numbers and look at all the unemployment but we still aren't digging into the inner city and going into the poverty, the huge poverty at the bottom in this city."
But Van Susteren's concern for the poor is inconsistent with attacks by guests on her show on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the federal food stamp program that is designed to keep people out of poverty.
On the April 9, 2012 edition of On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Fox News contributor and former Republican Congressman Allen West suggested that food stamps prevent those in poverty from "stand[ing] up on their own":
WEST: And as you know, since the president been in office, we've seen a 45 percent increase in food stamp recipients. So I think when you look at the economic policies, we're going in the wrong direction in that we're growing the amount of people that are being on government subsistence or government dependency instead of getting people off of that with the right type of economic policies to help them to stand up on their own. [Transcript via Nexis]
In March of 2013, Van Susteren hosted [1] Fox News contributor and former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain during a segment devoted to the supposed "food stamp epidemic." Cain smeared the "high percentage" of Americans on food stamps as the product of "class warfare ideology," which enables recipients to "not feel guilty" about "gam[ing] the system" to receive government benefits:
CAIN: The reason we have such a high percentage is because of the ideological reasoning behind wanting more people on the program, as well as other programs, and that is class warfare. When you have an administration and you have liberals and you have Democrats constantly promoting the fact that maybe the rich are not paying enough, even though the top 50 percent of taxpayers paid nearly 98 percent of the taxes -- they continue to promote this class warfare ideology, so it makes some people who find a way to game the system not feel guilty about it. That's part of the problem, and it's this whole class warfare ideology.
But Van Susteren's guests ignored that SNAP is an effective antipoverty program that keeps millions out of poverty and lessens the severity of poverty and unemployment. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) found [2] that [3] food stamps "kept 4.7 million people out of poverty in 2011, including 2.1 million children" and "lifted 1.5 million children above 50 percent of the poverty line in 2011, more than any other benefit program":
CBPP has also noted [4] that the percent of households with very low food security decreased thanks in part to the increase in SNAP benefits:
One study of the impacts of the increase in SNAP benefits from the Recovery Act found that the prevalence of very low food security of households with incomes eligible for SNAP (130 percent of poverty and less) decreased from 2008 to 2009 (before and after the SNAP benefit increase, respectively). The percent of households with very low food security was expected to increase due to changes in income and employment resulting from the recession, yet it decreased; this decline was not shown among higher-income households. This impact, along with increases in participation and increased spending on food from this population, suggests that SNAP benefits can be effective at ensuring that households have enough to eat.
And contrary to West's and Cain's remarks, the increase in SNAP caseloads is primarily the result of the recession. According to a CBPP report [5] (emphasis original):
The number of people eligible for SNAP increased because of the recession and lagging recovery. The number of people with income below 130 percent of poverty (the SNAP income limit) increased substantially, from 54 million in 2007, before the recession, to 60 million in 2009 and 64 million in 2011, allowing more households to qualify for help from the program.
Participation among eligible households also increased. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that the SNAP participation rate rose from 65 percent in 2007 to 75 percent in 2010, the most recent year available. Households that already were poor became poorer during the recession. The widespread and prolonged effects of the recession may have made it more difficult for other family members and communities to provide support to people who are struggling to make ends meet. In addition, states continued efforts begun before the recession to reach more eligible households, particularly working families and senior citizens, by simplifying SNAP policies and procedures. All of these factors likely contributed to rising participation rates.

Send for catalog. Vath & Ahles. Martin Offers Reward Of $5 Persistent rumors that a large quantity of flour had been found in the attic of his residence by a representative of the State Pood Administration, prompted Mr. Martin to make the following statement: To the Patriotic and Loyal Citizens of Morrison County: Tne seditious statement which is being generally circulated as to the county food administrator hoarding flour and sugar, and having been arrested and fined for same, has reached such proportions that it now seems necessary that some attention be given to the matter. I wish to say emphatically that there is absolutely no truth in it and that it is pro-German proganda from start to finish, and I will pay a reward of $50.00 for evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of tne one inventing the lie. For the interest of our government in prosecuting this war to the fullest extent it is up to every loyal citizen to brand anyone making seditious utterances against those who are giying their time and money tor the interest of humanity, as a kaiserite enjoying the Stars and Stripes and worse than the kaiser himself. J. K. MARTIN, Morrison County Food Administrator. 7,666 Bushels Seed Corn Wante . Morrison counts''s quota of seed corn to be selected during the seed corn time, September 10 to 20, is 7,666 bushels. This amount will be enough to supply the county's seed corn needs for the next two years if it plants an average acreage. Through the co-operation of tlie Farm Bureau and the county agent of this county' and the agricultural extension division of the university, a vigorous effort will be made to persuade every farmer in the county to select one bushel for every three acres he usually apportions to corn growing. In this way the county will fill it's quota of needed seed corn. > This seed corn drive is just as important in it's way as a Liberty Loan drive. The war cannot be carried on without food and the assurance of a * seed corn supply for the next two years will go far toward making sure our normal food supply. Grain And Produce Local Happenings mey_ A little reflection will con vince almost any reasonable j person that such rumors can hardly be founded on facts. Mr. Martin is County Pood Administrator, and State Investigators come to him for instructions. It isn't likely that he would direct an investigator to his own house to give him a flying start. Mathilda Rademacher Dead.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated October 18th, 2013
Didem Ürer: It has been stated that there is a threat towards Hakan Fidan in the article published in Jewish Press daily with the heading: "Turkey exposed 10 Israeli agents in Iran". The article said; "Mossad might have acted a bit naive to believe that, after 50 years of cooperation, Turkey would not do that. If anyone deserves to find a special surprise in his car one morning, it's Fidan, the Turkish spy chief."
Adnan Oktar: No one should attempt to do something so foolish. No Jewish person on his right mind would ever say something so inappropriate. That person who said so might have mistakenly blurt something like that, unaware of what he is saying, unaware of the Torah. If a person betrays his own country, that means he is a scum. If Hakan Fidan had such a scum arrested, that is something to be proud of. As a matter of fact, no such thing has ever happened, however let us say that it did just for the sake of this discussion; it would still be something to be proud of. Saying; "we will plant this and that in his car!" You, unreasonable man! How can you say something like that? You should be advocating peace and love, why are you defending bloodshed?
We are trying to defuse the unrest and that one there attempts to stir it up even further. There is already an immense animosity against Jews in the world and far beyond animosity it has turned into an enflamed hatred in many places. As we are trying to defuse this, that one there uses such an atrocious attitude which would provoke all Turkish people by saying that he will kill, martyr the Turkey's Secretary of MIT in his car. Have a talk with that rascal and tell him to repent, watch his language and retract his words before all else. Yes.. I will hear him retract his words. And he will apologize. Well my brother, this means challenging Turkey as a whole. If you challenge our Secretary of MIT, it wouldn't matter if you challenge our PM or our Secretary of MIT or our Chief of General Staff it would all mean challenging Turkish Republic as a whole. Pull yourself together! Are you even aware of what you are saying? We are putting forth our best efforts for months in order to make up Turkey's friendship with Israel, trying to prevent conflict and tension. Yet this man makes a comment and tries to kick up a row. Is it the time to create trouble? Come to your senses! I mean, if you attempt to do villainy to Turkey's Secretary of MIT, that threat would be stamped out, come to your senses! Threatening someone is an atrocious act. The best thing that person could do is to kindly apologize right away.. Israel and Turkey are friends. They are the children of the Prophet Moses (pbuh), they are the children of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). We love them all. We embrace them with compassion. MIT has always protected and watched over Israel. How many times MIT saved them from troubles? Turkey, in Malatya, by taking all sorts of risks, by running the risk of all sorts of nuclear attacks, - specifically to protect Israel, actually only to protect Israel - has installed a defense system. By doing so we've put the whole region under risk, simply to put Israel's heart at ease and to prevent any kind of sudden foul play against them. And that system is still active. Turkey has always protected and watched over Israel by sacrificing her wealth and herself. They have conducted joint-military drills, they have made joint military agreements which are still in effect. Our trading, our touristic relations, all sorts of bonds are showing incremental growth. They have increased in folds when compared to the past. Instead of encouraging this increase in friendship and attachment, you are acting as a cheap bully aiming to destroy that friendship fundamentally. Listen to reason!

If you've been strolling through the cookie aisle in search of a special pick-me-up, you may have stumbled upon two new treats from Pepperidge Farm: Carrot Cake and Dark Chocolate Cheesecake cookies. They're part of Pepperidge Farm's "Dessert Shop" line, dubbed "dessert...reimagined".
Both bags feature eight big, soft cookies. At the regular price ($3.49), that breaks down to 44 cents per cookie—a low enough investment to give both flavors a go, but only one will get my repeat business.
It was the carrot cake flavor that immediately hooked me, and while it did make a good first impression visually, including having the expected golden-orange tone, the cookie fell short on the advertised flavor. Specifically, I couldn't taste the carrot at all.
The main flavor is a spice blend similar to pumpkin pie, but it has that dreaded artificial taste that is the curse of most store-bought cookies. If I hadn't seen the bag, I'd have guessed it was a pumpkin cookie. Pumpkin is even listed in the ingredients (along with dehydrated carrots). The pecan pieces and cream cheese flavored chunks were both tasty, but not enough to override the engineered taste (and potent aroma) of the cookie itself.
Cream cheese plays a significant role in the dark chocolate cheesecake flavor. It's in the cookie dough itself (the third ingredient listed, after flour and sugar) and also present in the form of "real cream cheese drops", which are softer and creamier than the dark chocolate chunks that are mixed in alongside them. The cream cheese flavor really comes though, especially in the cookies that are heavy on the chips (not all are created equal). In short: I'd buy these again and again.

According to the American Heart Association, most people who experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location die because they don't receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. As a bystander, don't be afraid. Your actions can only help.
Below is a link to a Hands Only CPR Success Story recently produced by the City of Roseville Fire Department.
Hands Only CPR Success Story
If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 9-1-1 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of the classic disco song "Stayin' Alive." CPR can more than double a person's chances of survival, and "Stayin' Alive" has the right beat for Hands-Only CPR.

Auburn fans can recycle aluminum cans and plastic bottles in the more than 300 blue recycling bins around campus. Volunteers also distribute recycling bags to tailgaters on gameday.
This September, residents and Residence Life staff in 30 Auburn University residence halls are participating in the annual Sustain-A-Bowl competition, which challenges each hall to increase recycling and reduce energy and water usage by 10 percent.
The month-long competition kicks off with the Auburn vs. Miss. State football game on Sept. 14, which is the Auburn Goes Green game. Fans are encouraged to shop locally, ride Tiger Transit or carpool to the game, use reusable rather than disposable items such as cups, plates and utensils at their tailgates, and recycle inside and outside the stadium. The Office of Sustainability and the Waste Reduction and Recycling Department will participate in the Coca-Cola Fan Fest on the Nichols Center lawn prior to kick-off.
"Moving Sustain-A-Bowl from February to the fall term enables us to engage students early in the year to think about and practice more sustainable behaviors around energy, water and waste," said Mike Kensler, director of the Office of Sustainability at Auburn. "Our hope is that by emphasizing sustainable behaviors in September we will see more conservative and responsible resource use throughout the year."
Over the last five years, students have saved nearly $46,000 through energy and water reductions.
During the competition, residents and Residence Life staff will earn points for their halls by participating in events that educate residents about sustainable living. Each week provides a different theme: week one will focus on energy; week two will focus on recycling; week three will focus on social justice; and week four will focus on water.
Other public events include an electronics recycling event on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., at Saugahatchee Square and a Campus Conversation featuring representatives from the International Justice Mission on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 7 p.m. in the Auburn University Student Center, room 2222. Residence hall-specific activities also will be held throughout the month, and students will install storm drain markers on campus on Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 3:30-5 p.m.
Over the last five years, students have saved nearly $46,000 through energy and water reductions during Sustain-A-Bowl.
"Sustain-A-Bowl is a dramatic example of how individuals, when joining together in community with other individuals, can make a significant positive difference for the common good," Kensler said. "In this case, conserving natural resources and saving money, and reducing waste and pollution."
In October, results will be tallied and the winning residence halls will be recognized.
Sustain-A-Bowl is hosted annually by Residence Life in the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Sustainability, with the support of Facilities Management and the Waste Reduction and Recycling Department.

Our Daily Correspondent
From Her PalaceBy Sadie Stein
The Schiava Turca (Turkish Slave) is one of the many mysteries of art history. The painting, a 1530s Mannerist masterpiece by Parmigianino, is considered an icon of the artist's hometown, but no one is sure of the sitter's identity. Was it a noblewoman? A courtesan? Or just an ideal of feminine beauty? One thing is more or less certain: nickname aside, the woman pictured was almost certainly not Turkish. The painting acquired its commonly used moniker in 1704, when a cataloguer assumed its subject's dress spoke of the East. Rather, her sumptuous costume and turban-like balzo headdress would have been characteristic of court dress of the Northern Italian Renaissance.
Aimee Ng, guest curator of the Frick's current exhibition, "The Poetry of Parmigianino's 'Schiava Turca'," has another theory altogether. As the show's title indicates, she feels the portrait may have had everything to do with the literary culture of the era. She explains,
In the Renaissance, beautiful women and their portraits were often seen as poetic muses who inspired male poets and painters. This sitter is directly linked to poetry through the ornament on her headdress, which depicts a winged horse, the symbol of poetic inspiration. Perhaps, however, rather than a muse, the sitter is herself a poet. Seen in this light, her twisting pose … and forthright gaze would convey her creative force. She may even be identified with a specific female poet active in the area around Parma in the 1530s, such as Veronica Gambara, whom Parmigianino had many opportunities to meet.

Production Of Aaliyah Biopic On Hold After Zendaya Pulls Out
Listen to Zendaya Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Aaliyah Radio on iHeartRadio
Zendaya Coleman will no longer play the late R&B singer Aaliyah in a biopic for Lifetime.
Lifetime announced the news on Twitter, adding that production of Aaliyah: Princess of R&B is "currently on hold."
We are sad Zendaya will no longer portray Aaliyah. Production is currently on hold.
— LifetimePR (@LifetimeTV_PR) June 29, 2014
A source tells E! News that Zendaya pulled out of the role after problems with the film's production. Among the issues was the difficult task filmmakers had in obtaining rights to the singer's music. While Zendaya was "honored" to play someone who personally inspired her, she wanted to "do it right."
Aaliyah's family took issue with Lifetime's decision to go ahead with the film without approaching them. They promised to block efforts to use Aaliyah's music in the film.
Aaliyah died in a 2001 plane crash in the Bahamas. She was only 22-years-old.

good catch, did not even notice it.
The answer to this is likely not the sun but what is below it. It appears that the structure below is some kind of smokestack or other such industrial fixture capable of venting heat into the atmosphere. If you notice the "flames" change position on the sun but remain above the stack when one views the pictures on the website. Ths I would suspect that heat is creating air turbulence above the stack and as such is distorting the sun's light as it passes through. You can see a similar effect next time you build a campfire, simply observe what is behaind the fire and in the heat column directly above it. You will see a similar form of distortion.
Posted 30 August 2013 - 08:03 PM

Yup. Caverat is right. Whatever comming out of that smokestake is disorting the sunlight and creating the illusion.

This is the box of eight Christmas crackers that each pop open to reveal one of eight plastic whistles tuned to individual notes for playing along to a traditional holiday song as an ensemble. Renowned as an English Christmas tradition since their invention in 1847, each cracker makes a safe, festive "pop" when pulled apart at either end by two celebrants, revealing one of the whistles, including other traditional items such as a paper hat, joke, and trivia question. Each whistle comes with a numbered card that corresponds to a numbered, sequenced part to be "tooted" along with one of 21 Christmas carols, including favorites such as Jingle Bells, Good King Wenceslas, and Deck The Halls. Includes a plastic baton for directing the impromptu octet to reverent music-making or to cacophonic, delightful chaos. Boxed set 13 1/2" L x 10" W x 1 3/4" H. (12 oz.)

We had great fun with these after Christmas meal! We've "popped" crackers after our Christmas meal for a number of years, but mixing in the orchestra crackers this year added a new level of entertainment. The whistles were sturdy and surprisingly tuned well enough that the audience actually knew what the songs were. The crowns have musical notes printed on them vs. being the usual plain colors, a nice touch lending immediate credence to orchestra members. :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Salt Lake City's own American Hitmen tweeted that fans should tune in Tuesday at 8 p.m. to "America's Got Talent," on NBC.
The rock band auditioned and was accepted for the eighth season of the talent contest in which performers in a variety of disciplines compete for a $1 million prize and top billing on a show in Las Vegas. "American Idol" creator Simon Cowell helped create the talent show, which is judged by comedian Howie Mandel, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, model Heidi Klum and radio DJ Howard Stern.
The American Hitmen include three former Marines who began playing together in Fallujah, Iraq, during Operation Phantom Fury in 2004, as well as civilian drummer Phil Snyder. The original three are brothers Tim "Two Guns" Cord and Dan "The Hitman" Cord, along with Daniel "Jay" Jarmon, who teamed for a brand of rock they have previously described to The Tribune as "postwar hardcore."
The group are no strangers to competition, having won Salt Lake City's 2012 Ernie Ball Battle Of The Bands for a spot in the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival with the likes of Staind and Godsmack. They covered Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" in the "America's Got Talent" audition, earning rave reviews from all four judges.
Stern's appraisal: "I have been waiting for two seasons to find a band that could go all the way to the top. I believe you're true contenders."

UW's Seferian-Jenkins Takes Home Mackey Award
Seferian-Jenkins, who is traveling to Orlando, Fla., today for the Home Depot College Football Awards show, will be presented the trophy during the red carpet show, which will air live on ESPNU at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The awards show follows on ESPN at 4:00 p.m. PT.
Seferian-Jenkins, a junior from Fox Island, Wash., is the first Husky to win the Mackey Award, which was first presented in 2000. He's the first Washington player to win a national player of the year award since defensive tackle Steve Emtman won both the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy following the 1991 season. Greg Lewis won the Doak Walker Award in 1990.
In his three seasons at the UW, Seferian-Jenkins has re-written the tight ends section of the Husky record book. At a school that has been known for placing tight ends in the NFL, Seferian-Jenkins has set school records for season and career receptions, season and career yards and career touchdowns by a tight end.
This season, Seferian-Jenkins caught 33 passes for 413 yards and led the UW with seven receiving touchdowns. His blocking also played a major role as the Huskies set team records for total offense, rushing offense and points scored.
Next up, the Huskies take on BYU in the Fight Hunger Bowl Dec. 27 in San Francisco.
Joining Seferian-Jenkins in Orlando for the awards show is junior tailback Bishop Sankey, one of three finalists for the Doak Walker Award. The winner of that will be announced during the show.

Here's a study that analyzes the four main statements, the way the commission interpreted them, and reports from other Palestinian sources which contradict the testimony presented to the commission. Reports issued by the Palestinian terrorist organizations themselves detailed the fighting in a way that often contradicted the Palestinian witnesses. In addition, the witnesses hid vital information from the commission regarding the presence of armed terrorists or exchanges of fire in their vicinity. For the complete story go to www.jcpa.org

MUKILTEO — The plane was found 70 years after it crashed in the Sahara Desert.
It's been called a well-preserved piece of aviation history.
On Saturday, Tim Manna of the Royal Air Force Museum is scheduled to talk about his team's effort to recover the Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk that crashed in Egypt during World War II.
The talk is planned at noon Saturday at the the Historic Flight Foundation, 10719 Bernie Webber Drive, Mukilteo. The presentation is free for members; there is admission for non-members (adults, $12; $10, seniors or military; $8, youths 6-15; and 5 and under are free.)
The plane won't be on display Saturday. The museum is expected to send it on a tour, but the schedule has not been announced.
According to news reports, the plane crashed in June 1942. It was believed to have been flown by 24-year-old RAF Flight Sgt. Dennis Copping, the son of a dentist from Southend, Essex.
Last year, an oil company worker found the plane in the western Sahara. Manna led a team that recovered the plane, enduring the searing desert heat and other challenges. He'll talk about that experience.
The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-engine, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground attack aircraft flown by the air forces of 28 nations. When production of the P-40 ceased in November 1944, 13,738 aircraft had been built, according to news stories.
The Historic Flight Foundation was established in 2003 with the intention to collect, restore, and share significant aircraft from the period between the solo Atlantic crossing of Charles Lindbergh and the first test flight of the Boeing 707.

Toyota ShareLunker Season: Big Bass Time in the Big Country
ATHENS — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Toyota ShareLunker program begins October 1. This program was established in 1986 to promote catch-and-release fishing of trophy-sized largemouth bass and to selectively breed these fish to stock ShareLunker offspring in public waters around the state in an attempt to increase the overall size and growth rate of largemouth bass in Texas.
Anglers are an integral part of this program. Texas Parks Wildlife Department relies on anglers to temporarily donate their trophy largemouth bass (13 pounds or larger) to the program. An angler who donates a fish to the program receives a fiberglass replica of the fish made by Lake Fork Taxidermy (these guys are world renowned for their work), Toyota ShareLunker clothing and recognition at an annual awards banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. In addition, the Texas resident who donated the largest fish of the season gets a free lifetime fishing license; Brian Monsey won this award back in 2001 with a 14.80-pound bass from Lake Clyde.
There are several Big Country reservoirs capable of producing ShareLunker largemouth bass, but the best lakes may be O. H. Ivie, Hubbard Creek Lake, and Lake Cisco.
Trophy largemouth bass have been donated from reservoirs and private lakes all over the state. Last year 19 fish were donated. Seven ShareLunkers were caught at O. H. Ivie Reservoir and six from Falcon. The biggest ShareLunker was caught at Caddo Lake and weighed 16.07 pounds.
To donate your 13-pound or bigger bass to the Toyota ShareLunker program, call the 24-hour pager at (888) 784-0600 or call (903) 681-0550. The angler can choose whether to release the fish or permanently donate it to the program at the end of the spawning season. Most choose to return their fish to the lake.
Be a part of TPWD's largemouth bass management program by donating your trophy fish. More information on the Toyota ShareLunker program can be found at http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/ or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram.

There's a lot of ego going on but I bet he ends up playing for Pitt this season.
His agent has to see they're running out of options and sitting out the year is very risky

The highest tender is a 1st round pick now there is no more 1st and 3rd round tender.
The 49ers were thinking about signing him to an offer sheet because they needed another WR to go along side Crabtree and had a late 1st round pick. I dont believe they would have signed him though as 1st rd picks are so valuable these days. as the cap hit even if less than fitz money would be to much and the 49ers will have to pay players in 2013 and 2014 and will need space.
yes, some players get 1st round picks for them near their deal or under the tag but those are usually top 5 at their position. Wallace is not in that catagory. The cowboys made a stupid trade for williams and seattle giving a 1st for branch was even worse, they were a desprate team looking for any player.
No team will give a 1st for wallace, he is not a top 5 WR some people may say he is not top 10. I have him around 8-9. Plus the teams know Pitt has little leverage an cant sign him due to the lack of cap space. Plus he wont get Fitz money anywhere.
He will play for pitt this year as his value will drop if he sits the year out. Either way he wont be there in 2013 and they wont get a 1st for him even under the tag (which they cant use due to cap space). Either way this will be a holmes like situation. Holmes was in his prime when they traded him and they could have gotten a 2nd for him in my view.
Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
Jab - You realize you have yet to actually make an argument for why Marshall is a better receiver than Wallace? So far all you've tried to do is tell me why my argument doesn't prove Wallace is better, you haven't bothered to say why Marshall is. At least, not with anything factually accurate (Steelers are a passing-heavy offense, for example).
Benny, argue exceptions to the top five players by position getting 1st round picks traded for them all you want.
a) It's not particularly true.
b) It's beside the point. The point is, first round picks are traded for guys that need new contracts, not - as you claimed - guys that are in the middle of a sensible contract.
c) Still waiting for you to prove me wrong on b.
So far I'm hearing a lot of "Man, that Wallace guy sucks" and "Man, the dude can only run one route." No one here is actually bothering to put together reasoning for how Wallace is NOT one of the top receivers in the game. Top five, top ten, who friggin' cares. He's better than Antonio Brown and he's better than no less than 95% of the other WRs in this league. When he gets a new deal, he's going to be paid as such, cause that's what he deserves. Take your blinders off to the fact that the Steelers have one of the best receivers in the NFL, and be thankful that it looks pretty likely they're not going to have him for a whole lot longer.

Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
Comparing Marshall to Wallace is silly IMO.
Apples & Oranges IMO.
Marshall, from a style of play stance, compares much more favorably to guys like Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Plaxico Burress, etc.
Mike Wallace should be compared to guys like Steve Smith, Victor Cruz, etc.
Both guys can absolutely dominate a game.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
secondly this is what you responded to by throwing about a ton of numbers and calling them proof for the next 2 pages.
Marshall is better than wallace. when he has a qb that can throw even remotely decent hes a top wr by ability. Both have inconsistency with hands. Marshall is stronger and battles across the middle more and as much of a head case as he is, wallace wanting 17/year is just as crazy.
much like your argument that Marshall is older and worse than wallace and therefore wallace being worthy of at least 2 2nd rounds like marshall was. that trade happened 2 years ago when marshall was 26 (which wallace will be wednesday making them about 5 months apart in age at the time) and coming off 3 100/1000 sesasons in a row. wallace cant say that. its selective to take away his 3 most productive years when he actually had a top 10, maybe only top 15 qb vs a guys best two with a top 10 qb. thats your argument and its completely biased.
your argument that he only has those stats due to more targets making him a lesser talent is kind of bogus when you consider larry fitz himself had 1 less reception and 8 more targets than marshall while compiling a whopping 12/ypg more than marshall, which to me isnt all that much when you consider the difference in talent. actually almost all the top WRs typically have over 135 targets, because theyre good and their teams tend to try to get the ball in their hands a lot despite double teams which account for the lower catch rates. Wallace however, had 10 less than antonio brown on his own team. arguably making him their #2 option despite his production. Theres really not that many teams you can point 2 that have that scenario unless its more of a 1a 1b scenario. which considering how close they were statistically wallace and brown fall under. there certainly is not an ELITE WR that falls under that category, with hakeem nicks being the closest to it.
your set with your opinion and choosing to dismiss or see past any argument to the contrary, which is fine but dont claim its just people spouting off that he sucks and they dont like him when you just dont accept their form of argument. you consider debunking your facts as not supporting my argument, but imo, debunking those areas where you say he is better, is supporting my argument. despite that, to me any argument that has Fitz behind marshall and also behind wallace is a fallacy and why i dont put much stock into stats or this argument in particular. ability doesnt always match production because theres too many factors. like i said, its your prerogative, continue about it as you see fit.-JAB

Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
I doubt anyone would give them a first even if they could franchise him. His contract demands are not going to go down. Pitt and potential suitors had more leverage this year because he was a restricted free agent. Next year he would have to be franchised at what has to be more than 9m.

Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
You can't truly measure the quality of a performance against a fringe starter, compared to a performance against an All-Pro, or a performance against a defense in a more suitable system compared to a system that does not fit. When you realize this, you don't use an argument much different from those you are criticizing and JAB has already addressed this.

Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
Wallace will eventually sign his tender and play. He won't want to go into UFA next year after a full year off. He'd cost himself millions and he has to know that. The Steelers have all the leverage - they know it and Wallace knows it.
As for what happens long-term, who knows? A lot will likely depend on how the other Steelers receivers look this year. If Sanders steps up and makes it through injury-free, I think it significantly lowers the chances of Wallace returning. If Sanders doesn't step up though I could see the Steelers figuring out a way to sign Wallace long-term.
Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
Ben R ......8.90 19.60
Harrison...9.03 10.69
Woodley...4.94 13.24
Ike Taylor.4.28 9.45
L Timmons.3.99 8.66
Polamalu...6.25 7.50
H Miller.....7.07 7.96
Colon........2.85 7.70
Keisel........4.50 4.50
R Clark......4.25 4.75
Pouncey.....2.99 3.30
A Brown.....2.75 6.20
This should illustrate what the Steelers had to do just to get under the cap this year, and how they just shoved all the money back. (2014 is similar as well). Look at the giant spikes in salary from the restructuring, twice for a lot of the guys at the top.
They will probably cut Harrison and Keisel, so they will be relieved of that salary, but the problem is Harrison restructured and the dead money hit will be huge. Keisel will be full savings, but that is only 4.5 million. They might net $8 million or so, but that is not much considering they are at $104 right now.
With a cap of $122 that leaves them in a pretty uhhh...bad spot to say the least.

And he won't be sitting out the whole year, he can't. He will play the last 6 games and playoffs and will have plenty of suitors in 2013, believe that.Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/#!/thenflanalyst
Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
So pretty much, regardless what your intention was of stating it, your point isn't valid. Yes, the Steelers did pass a higher percent of the time than the Dolphins did. But it wasn't by much. And it's not really accurate in any way to say that the Steelers are a pass-happy team, which you at the very least implied.
Second, you certainly can measure it. You baseline all NFL players to come up with average performance at a position, then you measure the player's performance against that average, and come up with how well that player would have performed with better or worse. This is what DVOA does...read up on it if you want to know more about it, I'm not re-explaining it here...I already linked it for you.

Glare From This London Skyscraper Is Melting Cars
(NEWSER) – A new London skyscraper appears to be acting like a giant magnifying glass. But instead of burning ants, it's melting cars. A man says his Jaguar sustained about $1,470 in damage after he left it parked for two hours near the 37-story building, which is still under construction, the BBC reports. When he returned to his car, he found parts of it, including a wing mirror and a badge, had been warped out of shape. On his windshield was a note from the construction company: "Your car's buckled, could you give us a call?"

CMV - gastroenteritis/colitisColitis - cytomegalovirus; Gastroenteritis - cytomegalovirus; Gastrointestinal CMV disease
CMV gastroenteritis/colitis is inflammation of the stomach or intestine due to infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV).
See also:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpes-type virus related to the virus that causes chickenpox. Infection with CMV is very common.
The infection is spread by saliva, urine, respiratory droplets, sexual contact, and blood transfusions. Most people are exposed to the virus in their lifetime, but it usually produces mild or no symptoms in healthy people.
However, serious CMV infections can occur in people with weakened immune systems. This includes patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer and patients on immune-suppressing medicines following an organ transplant.
In rare instances, more severe CMV infection involving the GI tract has been reported in people with a healthy immune system.
The following increase your risk for CMV gastroenteritis/colitis:
- Bone marrow or organ transplant
- Chemotherapy
- Medications that suppress the immune system
Gastrointestinal CMV disease may affect one area or the entire body. Ulcers can occur in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, or colon. Such ulcers are associated with symptoms such as:
- Abdominal pain
- Difficulty swallowing or pain with swallowing
- Nausea
- Vomiting
When the intestines are involved, the ulcers may cause:
- Abdominal pain
- Bloody stools
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Weight loss
More severe infections can result in gastrointestinal bleeding or a hole through the wall of the bowel.
Exams and Tests
Tests that may be done include:
- Barium enema
- Colonoscopy
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
- Stool culture to rule out other causes of infection
- Upper GI and small bowel series
Laboratory tests will be done on a sample of tissue taken from your stomach or intestine. The tests, such as a gastric or intestinal tissue culture or biopsy, determine if the virus is in the tissue.
A CMV serology test is done to look for antibodies to the CMV virus in your blood.
Another blood test that looks for the presence and number of virus particles in the blood can also be performed.
Treatment is meant to control the infection and relieve symptoms.
Medicines to fight the virus (antiviral medications) are prescribed. The medicines may be given through a vein (IV), and sometimes by mouth, for several weeks. The most commonly used medicines are ganciclovir and valganciclovir.
In some cases, long-term therapy may be needed. A medication called CMV hyperimmune globulin may be used when other drugs don't work.
Other medications may include:
- Drugs to prevent or reduce diarrhea
- Painkillers (analgesics)
Nutritional supplements or nutrition given through a vein(IV) may be used to treat muscle loss due to the disease.
Outlook (Prognosis)
In people with a healthy immune system, symptoms usually go away without treatment.
Symptoms are more severe in those with a weakened immune system. The outcome depends on how severe the immune system deficiency and the CMV infection are.
People with AIDS may have a worse outcome than those with a weakened immune system due to another reason.
CMV infection typically affects the entire body, even if patients only have gastrointestinal symptoms. How well a patient does depends on how well the antiviral drugs work.
Possible Complications
The drugs used to fight the virus may cause side effects. The type of side effect depends on the specific drug used. For example, the drug ganciclovir may lower your white blood cell count. Another drug, foscarnet, may lead to kidney problems.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of CMV gastroenteritis/colitis.
There is ahigh risk of CMV infection in people who receive an organ transplant from a CMV-positive donor. Taking the antiviral drugs ganciclovir (Cytovene) and valganciclovir (Valcyte) by mouth before the transplant can lower your chance of gettinga new infection or reactivating an old infection.
People with AIDS who are effectively treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy are much less likely to get a CMV infection.
