Huey Long—"Every Man a King"
Born in 1893 to middle-class parents in north-central
Louisiana, Huey Long is best known as the populist
governor of that state. Although Long showed early
promise as a gifted student with a photographic memory,
he dropped out of high school and soon became a successful
salesman. Further, after no more than a year of formal
study he took and passed the bar exam in 1915, then
established his law practice in Winnfield, Louisiana.
Later he would say, "My cases in Court were on
the side of the small man—the underdog."
Soon Long was beginning his political climb, on the
State Railroad Commission, and later as chairman of
the Public Services Commission. In that role, he sought
to lower rates on essential "people services"
such as telephone use, gas and electric power, and
streetcar fares. Long ran for Governor in 1928, campaigning
on a slogan from the late 19th century populist, William
Jennings Bryan, "Every man a king, but no one
wears a crown." Making education and attacks
on powerful corporations his main themes, Long won
the governorship by the largest margin in Louisiana
Introducing major reforms, including free textbooks
and free night courses for adult learning, Long also
launched a program to build a school within walking
distance of every child in the state. Moreover, the
Democratic governor improved the state's infrastructure.
When Long came to office the state had less than 350
miles of paved roads; during his tenure he paved 3000
miles of roads using money from a tax on gas. He supported
the building of 111 bridges, a new airport in New
Orleans, and a medical school at Louisiana State University
(LSU). During his time in office, Long increased the
taxes of large business in the state, especially the
oil companies.
Despite impressive reforms, Long's critics accused
him of being a dictator, noting that he overcame virtually
all opposition to his program of economic and social
reform through intimidation and patronage. In 1929,
he was impeached on charges of bribery and gross misconduct,
but the state senate did not convict him by a narrow
margin of just two votes. After that, his tactics
became more ruthless and demagogic. Elected to the
United States Senate in 1930, he refused to take his
seat in that federal legislative body until he had
assured the succession of one of his own supporters
to the governor's seat. From Washington, he
continued to run the Louisiana government. By 1934
he began a reorganization of the state that all but
abolished local government and gave himself the power
to appoint all state employees.
In the early 30s, many outside of Louisiana became
captivated by Long, whose colorful oratory, and promises
of "every man a king" resonated with the
poor during this Great Depression Era. Though he was
a nominal Democrat, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
considered Long a demagogue and privately said of
him that "he was one of the . . . most dangerous
men in America." Promising a redistribution of
wealth through a plan of economic and social reform
called "Share Our Wealth," Long envisioned
himself as president. That plan was cut short when
Dr. Carl A. Weiss assassinated him in the State Capitol
Building in Baton Rouge on September 8, 1935. He is
now buried on those Capitol grounds.
The students will:
• Describe Governor Huey Long's "Share
Our Wealth" program and assess its practicality
as a means of reforming the lives of American citizens;
• Analyze the degree to which Long abused power
to accomplish his reform agenda;
• Analyze to what degree the reform issues of
the 1930s have been resolved by state, local, or federal
government action since that era;
• Assess the meaning of populist reform movements
such as those generated by Long, Coughlin, and Townsend
as outgrowths of economic crisis;
• Compare Long's "Share Our Wealth"
goals with that of other reform movements such as
those envisioned by late 19th century progressives,
FDR's New Deal, or Lyndon Johnson's "Great
Activity Ideas:
Getting Ready:
Before students begin any of the activities below
they will need to have some background about the life
of Huey Long. If possible, have them view Ken Burns's
Huey Long.
You may also wish to define or review certain terms
that often come up during a study of Long's
political career, including autocrat, demagogue, dictator,
gerrymandering, redistribution of wealth, and socialism.
(See the section called "Definitions" after
the list of activities below.)
"Share Our Wealth"—How Does
That Work?
In 1930, Governor Huey Long was elected to the United
States Senate. Although he had supported the presidency
of Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932, by 1934
Senator Long was claiming that the president's
New Deal had done little to alleviate the problems
of the depression. Believing himself capable of becoming
president, Long used the floor of the Senate to expound
his views on the redistribution of wealth.
His "Share Our Wealth" program—outlined
in this February 5, 1934 speech before the Senate—best
defines both Long's view of the nation's
problems, and the specific solutions he envisioned
for those woes.
Explain to students that Long's "Share
Our Wealth" plan had seven major points, paraphrased
1. To limit poverty by providing that every deserving
family would share in the wealth of America.
2. To limit fortunes to a few million dollars so that
the rest of the American people could share in the
wealth and profits of the land.
3. To provide old-age pensions to persons over 60
who did not earn over a certain amount, or who possessed
less than $10,000 in cash or property.
4. To limit the hours of work to such a degree that
overproduction could be prevented, and workers could
enjoy some of the recreations, conveniences, and luxuries
of life.
5. To balance agricultural production with what could
be sold and consumed.
[*To balance the problem of unemployment caused by
limited agricultural production, farmers would complete
public works projects during times when they were
not required to produce farm products.]
6. To care for the veterans of our wars.
7. To acquire the tax dollars for running the government
by reducing big fortunes.
Ask students to react to this simply stated plan,
inviting them to consider its practicality, eliciting
their ideas on how such a program might be carried
out, and getting their opinions as to how such a plan
would fit in our country's traditional capitalistic
After this discussion, invite students to read the
whole of Long's "Share Our Wealth"
speech (www.ssa.gov/history/longsen.html)
given on the floor of the U.S. Senate. At the same
site students can find other speeches by Long that
incorporate variations of this plan. It will enrich
the activity below if students read as many of these
as time permits.
Ask students to work in groups of four or five, and
have them set up notes, using one page for each of
the seven points, organized in three categories:
1. Rationale: What problem will be solved by this
step? Who will be affected? What's wrong with
current approaches?
2. Practical methods for carrying it out: Who will
pay for it? Who will oversee or control the implementation
of his plan?
3. Potential Problems: What might not work? For example,
can farmers be expected to become public works employees?
After students have completed their analysis of Long's
speech, conduct a follow-up discussion by revisiting
the questions asked at the beginning of the activity.
After a closer look at Long's ideas, how do
they view his program? Elicit opinions.
As a follow up activity, divide students into teams
and have each group choose any one
of Long's seven points and determine what improvements
have been made in that area by either the local, state,
or federal governments since 1934. Remind students
to check www.congress.gov
and specific state or county Web sites to gather information
for completing the task. Search topics might include
welfare reform, benefits for the elderly, agricultural
production controls, benefits to veterans, and graduated
income or corporate tax schedules.
Ask each group to produce a visual display in which
they provide information about what progress has been
made regarding a given point from Long's plan,
and use the display as a part of an oral presentation.
Based on students' new collective learning,
ask each of them to write a brief follow-up paper
reacting to this statement of Senator Long before
the U.S. Senate on January 14, 1935:
But my friends, unless we do share our wealth,
unless we limit the size of the big man so as to give
something to the little man, we can never have a happy
or free people. God said so! He ordered it.
We have everything our people need. Too much of food,
clothes, and houses. Why not let all have their fill
and lie down in the ease and comfort God has given
us. Why not? Because a few own everything—the
masses own nothing.
"Every Man a King"
Huey Long seemed to have his own definition of wealth
for American families. In his February 1934 speech
he notes:
To share our wealth by providing for every deserving
family to have one third of the average wealth would
mean that, at the worst, such a family could have
a fairly comfortable home, an automobile, and a radio,
with other reasonable home conveniences, and a place
to educate their children. Through sharing the work,
that is, by limiting the hours of toil so that all
would share in what is made and produced in the land,
every family would have enough coming in every year
to feed, clothe, and provide a fair share of the luxuries
of life to its members.
Ask students to think about what it would take to
satisfy Huey Long's motto: "Every man a
king, but no one wears a crown." Invite them
to make a list of what each family should have, at
a minimum, to be economically and socially comfortable.
When students complete the list, read them Long's
definition of a wealthy family. Ask students whether
or not our living standard is similar to, or different
from, that of the 1930s. Where differences are noted,
ask students to offer opinions as to why conditions
have changed.
Other Voices
Throughout the 1930s Huey Long's "Share
Our Wealth" concept was not the only political
movement gaining attention. Dr. Francis E. Townsend,
an elderly California physician, led a movement of
more than 5 million members by promoting a plan of
federal pensions for the elderly. Father Charles E.
Coughlin, a Catholic Priest, gained fame through weekly
sermons broadcast over the radio. He supported monetary
reforms that, among other things, would nationalize
the banking system, and developed a political organization,
the National Union for Social Justice.
After students have studied about Governor Huey Long,
organize three groups and assign each to complete
a research project about the political movement led
by either Long, Coughlin, or Townsend. Provide each
group with a set of questions worded to draw out key
points about the background, issues, and permanent
effects of the group's particular leader. Ask
the groups to explain their findings to the class,
basing their presentations on the questions provided.
As a whole class activity, ask students to make a
compare and contrast chart featuring the three leaders.
After discussion, have the students write a brief
response to the quote below.
Some said they represented the rise of fascism
in the United States; other claimed they were . .
. close to . . . communism. In fact, they were neither.
They represented, rather, two competing popular sentiments;
the urgent desire of many Americans for government
assistance in this time of need, and their equally
strong desire to protect their ability to control
their own lives from the encroachments of large and
powerful organizations.
(From American History,
A Survey: Current, Williams, Freidel, and Brinkley,
pg. 738.)
Other Voices; Other Times
Ask several groups of students to conduct research
to compare the "Share Our Wealth" concepts
of Huey Long with the aims and legislative outcomes
of any one of these social reform efforts:
• The populist message of William Jennings Bryan;
• The Progressive Movement reforms of Robert
LaFollette, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson;
• The programs of the New Deal as envisioned
by President Franklin D. Roosevelt;
• The goals of the Great Society advanced by
President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Have students present their findings to the class.
Afterwards, ask students to make a list of common
goals or aims of each of these movements.
A Picture of Progress
Ask students to identify any act of the federal Congress
since 1930 that has resulted in an improved quality
of life for the "common people" of this
country. Have students illustrate that gain through
artistic expression—a poem, dance, drawing,
painting, or sculpture. Organize a "Cavalcade
of Progress" presentation in which the artistic
renderings are featured. Use the presentation to help
students see patterns of social change.
A "Long" Sound-Off
Raymond Gram Swing, in a January 1935 issue of Nation
said of Huey Long,
Huey Long is the best stump speaker in America.
He is the best political radio speaker, better even
than President Roosevelt. Give him time on the air
and let him have a week to campaign in each state,
and he can sweep the country. He is one of the most
persuasive men living.
If possible, use a video clip or taped clip of one
of Long's speeches so students can get a flavor
for his oratory. Ask students to brainstorm current
important issues relating to social, political, or
economic circumstances that they feel very strongly
about. Ask each to prepare a "stump speech"
in support of their cause, using strong examples,
statistical data, and emotional language. As a variation,
record the speeches on tape and play them to the class,
so students can get a feel for the power of radio,
a medium of communication most used by Long.
After students hear the speeches, have them determine
who among their classmates might be elected "Most
Likely to Persuade." Invite a discussion regarding
how rhetorical devices can be used in both positive
and negative ways to shape our thinking.
Power Corrupts
Though Huey Long always called himself the champion
of the people, many of his critics accused him of
seizing dictatorial powers in Louisiana. By the time
he became a U.S. Senator in 1930, he controlled almost
every aspect of the state's government. Raymond
Gram Swing, in The Nation (January, 1935)
He is not a fascist . . . He is a dictator. He
rules, and opponents had better stay out of his way.
He punishes all who thwart him with grim, relentless,
efficient vengeance.
Yet Swing goes on to say,
One does not understand the problem of Huey Long
or measure the menace he represents to American democracy
until one admits that he has done a vast amount of
good for Louisiana. He has this to justify all that
is corrupt and preemptory in his methods. Taken all
in all, I do not know any man who has accomplished
so much that I approve of in one state in four years,
at the same time that he has done so much that I dislike.
It is a thoroughly perplexing, paradoxical record.
After students have studied about Long as governor,
ask them to make two lists—one outlining the
good things that Long accomplished, for example, free
textbooks for school children; and a second one, listing
his methods for achieving almost total power. At the
end of the exercise ask students to write an essay
using a starter sentence of their choice from the
list below:
• Huey Long was a person who fought all of his
life to better the living standards of the poor people
of his state.
• Huey Long was a demagogue, constantly stirring
up the emotions of the people, and, in the end, accomplishing
little of permanent value.
• Although Huey Long made certain needed changes
in his state that were beneficial to the "poorest
of the poor," he was a dangerous man whose philosophy
mocked the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
All the King's Men
In 1946, Robert Penn Warren's novel All
the King's Men was published. It was loosely
based on the life and career of Huey Long. In 1949,
a film by the same title, and adapted from the book,
was released. After studying about Huey Long, consider
having an after-school movie party, complete with
popcorn, to view of All the King's Men.
Ask students to compare the character of Willie Stark
to Huey Long. Invite students to discuss what they
believe the film teaches about power and its uses.
(Note: Although the film is unrated, it is considered
PG-13; thus, you should consider getting school and
parental permission for the viewing.)
Autocrat: A ruler or leader having
absolute or unrestricted power; a despot.
Demagogue: A leader who obtains power
by means of impassioned appeals to the emotions and
prejudices of the people. In ancient times a man who
championed the cause of the people.
Dictator: One holding complete autocratic
control over a nation or state, often ruling through
tactics of oppression.
Fascism: A philosophy, movement,
or regime characterized by an autocratic government
headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and
social regimentation, and forcible suppression of
opposition. A state that emphasizes the exalting of
nation or a particular race above the individual.
Gerrymandering: The practice of drawing
a voting district's boundaries so as to favor
the party in power.
Redistribution of wealth: A reorganizing
of economic processes that would change significantly
"who gets what" from a nation's real
and potential wealth.
Socialism: A system in which the
government owns the basic factors of production. Government
planners make decisions about production, distribution,
and the use of resources within certain industries
such as railroads and banking. In concept, the goal
of socialism is a more equal distribution of wealth
among the people.

There's Something In The Air
This guy is gonna be the next Todd Edwards, and you will get me after these next tracks.
The first one is called SplurgenShitter, from his newest EP called Weave and Wish. Its quite different from what the name might indicate.
Starting off with a beat, it then comes to a nice piano line, which stays throughout the entire track. Then come some vocals that sound like Stewie from Family Guy saying, "And here we go, and watch my hand and one, two, three".
The track is mostly based on some chopped up vocals, which i cant understand, a bassline and the piano line. Eventually another piano comes in to help out.
This pretty much stays the same for the entire song, but i guarantee you its very smooth and quite beautiful.
Pogo - SplurgenShitter [right click to download]
And last but not least, is his major hit, Alice. With 90% of the track being made out of the music from "Alice in the Wonderland", it begins with a string instrument, and then a beat and some hardly understandable vocals.
Eventually a big bassline will appear and make it deeper and darker, but never losing any magic throughout the whole track.
It is also very ambient, something which defines most of Pogo's tracks.
Pogo - Alice [right click to download]
I recommend getting his stuff, its all free on Last.fm.

Evil stereo has been going on about this guy for awhile now. I really don't see whats up with it, he may be creative in his sampling, but it doesn't sound very good at all. just my opinion.
- 20 April 2009 at 14:56
You included Alice but not Lost or Alohamora? Shame on you, Alex!
And I DO think Pogo is very talented in his sampling.
- 20 April 2009 at 15:34
- Alex said...
Alohamora doesnt appeal to me very much and i never listened to Lost, so yeah. I put in Alice mostly because its the most known track, and that is a bit more appealing.
- 20 April 2009 at 16:39
- Ayso said...
yeah Pogo is veryyyy underated i think. his myspace hardly has many views and the only thing people seem to really listen to is Alice. Its a shame more people dont really care to hear all of an artist's work and not just the hit. :\

I dig pretty much all of his stuff. The new Expialidocius track is mesmerizing. Go Out and Love Someone is fun as well...
- 26 June 2009 at 15:47
Love Pogo's work. I got introduced from weave and wish video of Merlin. I have all his stuff and there are only two track I don't like. Dungeon Heat and Ingenuity(spelling?). Other than that, I listen to every single track as often as possible. Gitch being one of my most favorite mixes.

The Lady Demons had waited three years for a win over Trimble County and with their first matchup in the All "A" tournament earlier this season, they got it.
They didn't have to wait nearly as long as they earned their second win against Trimble County with a 2-0 victory on April 28.
Amanda Goodrich pitched for the Lady Demons, striking out eight as Williamstown secured their first shutout of the season. Goodrich and Nicole Hendy drove in a run a piece for the win.
Williamstown entered their game against Simon Kenton looking for their first win against a district opponent.
The Demons came five outs away from earning the win, but ultimately fell 4-2 to the Pioneers on April 29.
"I think we played our best game of the year against Simon Kenton," coach Aaron Biddle said. "We feel pretty confident with our play against our district opponents. We're not going into the district tournament fearful. We don't care who we play."
Grant County Sheriff's Office
Sgt. Dennis Switzer investigated an accident at 3:52 p.m. April 17 on Cordova Road in Williamstown. The driver involved was Kristie M. Sasher, 33, of Williamstown driving a 1999 Jeep that ran off the roadway.
Sixteen-year-old Courtney Vance is making the jump to college even though she is just finishing her sophomore year at Williamstown High School.
The Grant County softball team waited three weeks to restart their game against Walton-Verona.
The wait was worth it as the Lady Braves' bats came alive, leading to a 10-7 victory on May 4.
"I told my players that it would be a slugfest," coach Ott Reed said. "Whoever was hitting the hardest would win the game."
The game originally started on April 13, as the Lady Bearcats took a 2-0 lead after the top of the first inning. Rain delayed the game for three weeks before the two teams matched up again.
Going into the North Central Kentucky Conference tournament, Grant County's second grade girls traveling team were looking to avenge their only loss of the regular season and dedicate a championship to the passionate fan and father they lost during the season.
The girls did both as they defeated Walton-Verona 13-7 for the championship. The team dedicated their season to the memory of Jay "Big Daddy" McCoy, who passed away after their second game of the season. McCoy was the father of Kelcie McCoy, a player on the team.
Shirley Howard turns 72 in June, but the Williamstown resident won't be slowing down anytime soon.
"I have to be busy," he said. "That's why I'm still working. I want to keep active physically and mentally. I have no immediate plans to retire permanently."
From educator to county judge-executive, Howard's life has been filled with a laundry list of accomplishments.
One more was added recently when Howard was named the 2009 Grant Countian of the Year at the Grant County Chamber of Commerce annual banquet.
Why is it that moms get all the crappy jobs? I mean that quite literally.
The good news for Grant County and the rest of Northern Kentucky is that swine flu hasn't shown up here.
People do not normally get swine flu, a respiratory disease found in pigs, but human infections of a strain of swine flu have been reported in several states in the U.S., including northern Ohio.
"There have been no cases confirmed in Northern Kentucky or Kentucky," said Emily Gresham-Werley, public information manager for the Northern Kentucky Independent Health District.

I got back not too long ago from my testing at the Geisinger Heart Hospital. Gesinger's tag line is "Redefining Boundaries". They certainly redefined the boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness for me, so I guess this means that the test and tagline are both a huge raging success. If you want to call it that.
This test was easily one of the worst experiences of my life and I've had some pretty bad ones.
The test started out ok, after all of the devices were connected. I was hooked up to a pulse ox monitor, a blood pressure cuff, an IV, and an EKG machine. The IV and the blood pressure cuff were on the same arm. Every time the blood pressure cuff went off it would squeeze the IV which would make me want to crawl out of my skin. I hate needles and I hate IVs, the thought of one being put in my arm and then squeezed to death made me want to vomit alone test notwithstanding. Next, I was raised from a vertical laying down position to a 70 degree angle. I thought to myself, "This is it? I can do this. No problem." And there wasn't a problem except for my stomach growling. They made me fast 4 hours prior to the start of the test so I was hungry and thirsty. Then about 15 minutes in. That's when all hell broke loose. I started feeling like death.
Imagine being strapped to a table and feeling like you are going to die. You are sweaty, your hearing gets very faint. You feel like you are outside of your body. Your vision gets all sparkly, you want to lay down and close your eyes and hope for death. You beg the nurses to let you lay down and start freaking out because you are sure death is near, but the nurses refuse because that is what the test is all about. So yeah, I was freaking out. I had a panic attack and shortly thereafter I passed out. I do not recall passing out. The nurses said I was out for a few seconds. They took their readings and allowed the IV to do its magic and returned the table to the laying/vertical position. It was horrifying. I was shaking and crying after I woke up.
They somehow determined that the fainting was vasovagal syncope. I don't want to sound mean or rude because the nurses and doctors involved were absolutely great, but… I already knew this. This is not news. A few years ago, I was having Owen tested for allergies in the other hospital's lab. I was helping the lab techs hold Owen down and I must have locked my legs into a position that stopped blood flow. I went down like a ton of bricks. He survived the bloodwork fine, me on the other hand, I was being wheeled to the ER before I even knew what the hell happened. Dr. Litchtman (the one from the commercials) diagnosed me with vasovagal syncope and send me on my way after she did all of the tests. My whole thing with why I went for this test was….why do I feel like I'm going to faint ALL of the time any more. Once in a while I can handle, but all of the time is not good. Ugh. I don't know. I guess they are going to read my tests and get back to me. In the meantime, I have a fun little holter monitor that I'm wearing for the next 24 hours.
This holter monitor thing is a pain in the keyster. It's constantly hooked to me and I can't shower with it on. I have this little thing that has to hook to my belt or stay in my pocket that saves all of the readings. It's cumbersome and annoying. Now I know how it must feel to have one of those IFB things that all of the reporters use. I also have a journal to record times and descriptions if anything weird happens. I also have to write down if I've had anything caffeinated to drink.
I think I'm going to try to get some rest, I'm feeling pretty wiped after this whole ordeal today.

Registration for the 5th annual Automotive News Best Dealerships To Perform For program is now closed. When I was just starting out in the planet of establishing online organization, I use to wonder why the likes of hubpages ( they have been initially funded with US$2 million investment from Hummer Winblad ) and some other established/effective sites had to borrow money or contact angel investors to begin off. Fantasy Auto Racing is a game where you build your personal dream team of NASCAR drivers and compete against the other teams in your league. Europe – 16 school shootings and 91 deaths, three of the 16 shootings did not result in any deaths.
The company as an alternative chose to introduce the Beat Activ hatchback and the Essentia compact sedan which had been shown as concepts throughout the 2016 Auto Expo occasion. I would have believed Adsense would give their bigger customers a lot more of a choice more than what type of ads are displayed although. Now, lets proceed to the subsequent step on how to deal with your news post, automate them and make cash!!
Our company will play its part by bringing in far more new investments and generate high worth automobile, chemical engineering , civil engineering & manufacturing jobs to cater the wants of the Indian market. That pisses off dealers, publishers, editors, auto writers and bloggers, who enjoy free of charge loans of the cars they are writing about, junkets, and wining and dining at invitation-only events.
Hyundai Santa Fe will be accessible overseas in two Variants, such as Santa Fe two.2 CRTD, Santa Fe 2.2 CRTD Auto Along with its plans to introduce a new SUV in the Indian marketplace. I heard back from our advertising group and it appears like this could be a rogue Google ad. Unless some thing has changed with their policy, auto-audio advertisements are not permitted in their network. The Scorpio has been the largest promoting SUV of all times in India and continues to carry out quite nicely even nowadays. You want to be armed with expertise when it comes to dealing with an auto mechanic.
These folks who drive rwd in icy/snowy situations,without winter tyres never stand a likelihood,and have none at all in AUTO rwd automobiles. By the finish of June 105, over 22,000 jobs in Engineering and associated Technologies have been advertised. You will want some specialty tools even so, most auto components shops have a rent-a-tool plan, at times at nominal cost and occasionally for free. We have blocked the advertiser as nicely, so hopefully that implies the end of this particular set of ads on the internet site.

Research Groups
Revill Group
Peter's group investigates the role of different HBV genotypes and variants in the HBV life cycle, disease progression and treatment response. This includes the role of splice variants, which his team has shown are predictive of liver cancer.
Current Projects
Identifying novel biomarkers of HBV treatment response
Peter is lead investigator on multiple studies interrogating novel biomarkers of treatment response in the setting of antiviral therapy. His team utilises next generation sequencing (Illumina miseq) to sequence the complete HBV genome, to determine the impact of sequence diversity and identify specific mutations associated with adverse or successful treatment. Peter also has an interest in the role of the innate immune response in treatment response, with his team showing that some innate immune responses are predicative of response in the setting of interferon treatment. Importantly, the ability of HBV to down-regulate innate immune responses varies by HBV genotype.
Novel approaches to HBV cure
HBV is currently incurable. The HBV X protein is critical for transcription of viral cccDNA, the nuclear form of HBV, which represents a major impediment to HBV cure, as it is not targeted by current antiviral therapies. Peter's team will utilise cell culture models to investigate the role of the HBx protein in HBV infection, replication and cccDNA stability, to assess the feasibility of HBx as a novel therapeutic target that may lead to HBV cure.
The emergence of African HBV genotypes in Australian pediatric patients
Although HBV is mostly transmitted by "mother to baby" worldwide, there have been few studies of HBV in the pediatric setting. HBV chronically infects over 75 million people in Africa where novel genotypes are associated with rapid progression to liver cancer in young males (subtype A1) or reduced vaccine efficacy (genotype E). In collaboration with Associate Professor Winita Hardikar and Dr Liz Bannister at the Royal Children's Hospital, Peter's team is investigating the distribution, natural history and molecular virology of African HBV genotypes in a pediatric setting.
The role of genotype in HBV pathogenesis
HBV exists as nine major genotypes, one minor genotype, and over 40 subtypes globally. HBV natural history, disease progression and treatment response varies markedly for many genotypes and subtypes, for reasons that are unclear. Peter's team has established an extensive panel of replication competent cDNA clones of all major genotypes and many important subtypes, enabling direct comparison of HBV replication, using cell culture and more recently (in collaboration with Dr Marc Pellegrini at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) murine models. He has also established collaborations with international investigators using these clones to interrogate the role of genotype in treatment response.
The role of splicing in HBV pathogenesis
At least 14 different splice-derived RNA or DNA variants have been identified to date in cells or serum obtained from persons with chronic HBV, or from cell cultures transfected with infectious HBV cDNAs. The most frequently detected HBV spliced RNA/DNA is a 1.9 kb molecule termed Sp1, generated by removal of a 1.3 kb intron from the pre-genomic RNA. We have shown that the presence of spliced variants in patient serum is predictive of liver cancer. Peter is interested to determine the mechanisms by which this occurs and whether spliced variants can be specifically targeted for removal using RNAi.

Media We Can Trust
"Trustworthy journalism should help us keep each other honest and help get us past these reptilian instincts for conflict. It helps us discern the truth. It leads us to embrace change."
Fabrice Florin of NewsTrust.net
Photo by Kaizar Campwala
Americans don't trust the media, and with good reason. Newspapers and television networks have been cutting investigative reporting budgets for decades, while making up for it with partisan punditry that does little to help untangle tough issues like the housing crisis, global warming, and the Iraq War. No surprise, then, that in a recent Harris poll more than half of Americans said they don't trust the press.
Where can these skeptical folks go for information? Increasingly, they've been turning to the Internet, where there's been an explosion in new media ventures in the past five years, including individual and collaborative blogs, hyperlocal news sites supported by small businesses, open-publishing sites for grassroots news, and member-funded sites employing professional journalists. Several of the biggest political stories from the past year have come out of the blogosphere and independent web journalism, including Talking Points Memo's revelation of political firings of U.S. Attorneys, and the Huffington Post's OffTheBus report of Barack Obama saying Americans cling to guns and religion because they're bitter.
But the question remains: how do you separate the accurate and well-researched from the partisan-driven infomercials?
NewsTrust.net, an innovative project created by former journalist and web developer Fabrice Florin, relies on the savvy of its readers to find news stories that stand up to critical scrutiny. Each story listed on the site includes a link to its original posting, plus a composite user evaluation: Is the author fair? Is the article based on factual evidence or hearsay? Are there multiple named sources or are they anonymous? As NewsTrust users from across the political spectrum answer these questions and add their own comments, they contribute to a public conversation built on a shared appreciation of journalistic quality.
To make sure that conversation stays civil, NewsTrust has departed from typical Web formats. There is no place to comment, because, as Florin puts it, "There's no incentive for people to behave well" when they comment.
NewsTrust also takes the time to learn about its users. The site's staff googles each new reviewer to find out if he or she is a notorious "troll," a "flamer," or someone who disrupts internet civility, and then boils the information down to an initial rating score.
"On a fundamental level," says Florin, "trustworthy journalism should help us keep each other honest, and help get us past these reptilian instincts for conflict. It helps us discern the truth. It leads us to embrace change, and to develop humility, respect, curiosity for factual information, and the willingness to contemplate new solutions to old problems."
Media critic and author Jeff Cohen says the linked nature of online news is inherently well-suited to projects like NewsTrust. "Internet-literate folks know to be skeptical of attack pieces. ... That's why Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly-type demagoguery flourishes on TV and radio, but not as easily on the Internet where you have to produce your sources, and link to them."

This new program is a much-needed response to help create a systematic process to capture the patients' voice in drug development
New York, New York (PRWEB) March 25, 2015
The Conference Forum is pleased to announce the launch of Design Thinking for Clinical Trials, a new event scheduled for May 11-12 in Boston, MA. This program offers a "how to" process on empathizing with patients to improve the design of clinical trials.
The House Energy & Commerce Committee is putting patient-focused drug development at the top of its 21st Century Cures discussion list. The FDA is actively encouraging industry to take an active roll in executing patient-centered clinical trials. But how?
"This new program is a much-needed response to help create a systematic process to capture the patients' voice in drug development," said Valerie Bowling, Executive Director of The Conference Forum.
Originally developed out of Stanford University's d.School Design, the Design Thinking process is broken down into five critical elements: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Protoype and Testing. Kate Helber and Jen Reichuber from The Helber Group will lead training on each of these elements. Joining the instructors are representatives from Genentech, Eli Lilly, The Mayo Clinic and HealthiVibe, who share case studies and their experiences in Design Thinking.
Thanks to Komathi Stem at Genentech, Design Thinking as it applies to patient-centric clinical trials was first introduced at the DPharm USA program, a conference dedicated to clinical trial innovation. "The topic was so popular, we were inundated with requests for the presentation slides," said Valerie Bowling.
Industry experts agree that the process of engaging investigators and sites is improving, but the patient perspective is still getting lost in many respects in clinical development. Only by putting patients at the center of everything it does will pharma be able to properly identify how a protocol will be received in a real world setting as well as the quality of life issues that go with any particular therapy.
Design Thinking for Clinical Trials is designed for R&D management, clinical design, clinical operations and patient recruitment/engagement staff, who want to create a culture that focuses on patient-centric drug development. This program will also benefit people in drug delivery.
For more information about the Design Thinking program visit: http://theconferenceforum.org/conferences/design-thinking-clinical-trials/overview/
About the Conference Forum:
The Conference Forum develops specialized events for professionals in the life science and health care industries. We currently offer conferences for R&D leaders, clinical development professionals, biotech executives, VCs, drug delivery specialists and pharma/generic government directors. Our mission is to create the best content, exchange ideas and solutions among peers and provide quality networking for Pharmaceutical and Biotech professionals. http://www.theconferenceforum.org

Windies stars end player boycott
Skipper Chris Gayle and 12 other senior players did not play in the two-Test series defeat against Bangladesh.
But they have agreed to return after former Commonwealth Secretary General Sir Shridath Ramphal was appointed to mediate in their continuing dispute.
The West Indies board had already named a 14-man squad excluding the strikers.
Eight players from the ill-fated Test series secured places in the one-day squad, which was selected for the first two of the three-match series.
Left-handed batsman Floyd Reifer retained the captaincy despite the Test debacle and modest personal scores of 25, 29, one and three.
But the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) can now call upon the previously unavailable players in a bid to avert another embarrassing defeat against minnows Bangladesh.
The news followed a meeting convened by Guyana President Bharrat Jagdeo at the request of the West Indies Players Association (Wipa).
"It was agreed that, in light of the mediation agreement the parties expect to lead to the resolution of outstanding issues, all the players will make themselves available for selection," said a joint WICB and Wipa statement.
"Both parties have taken this step, mindful of the interest of their respective organisations but conscious also of their wider responsibility to the people of the West Indies and the international sport of cricket."

'Dolor' Book Series Continues With 'Arielle'!
Author Rick Florino continues his "Dolor" mystery/horror novella series with "Dolor: Arielle│Book III", out September 27 via New American Deities. "Arielle"–the third in a series of ten stories about the creepy town of Dolor–will be available for only 99 cents on September 27, 28 and 29 at the official website. From September 30 through October 31, 2010, Arielle can be purchased for the discounted price of $3.99. As an introduction to the Dolor story, a free download of "Lila" and "Chrissy," the first two books in the series, is available here and hard copies of the books can be purchased for just $4.99 each.
Dolor is a creepy little town that you won't be able to leave. It's the kind of place you can't forget. It's the kind of place where anything can happen. It's the kind of place where evil doesn't just die. It's the kind of place that nightmares are born to live forever…
In October 2009, Rick Florino opened up Dolor to the "real" world with his first novella Dolor: Lila | Book I. At the beginning of Lila, FBI Agent Jeffries goes to Dolor to investigate a fire. The town's been burned to the ground. One lone house stands–charred to Hell on the outside, but fine on the inside. Within those walls, Jeffries finds ten small diaries. Each diary is written by a different denizen of Dolor, delving into some sort of darkness. The first diary is Lila | Book I.
Enter the world of Rick Florino's Dolor, you'll never be the same. Then succumb to the tales of Chrissy, Arielle, Decker, Cassie, Olivia, Orestes, Lucia, Sage and Helen. Nightmares are guaranteed.
Florino–author of Dolor: Lila | Book I, Dolor: Chrissy | Book II, Do The Devil's Work For Him, founder of Ruin Magazine and Editor-In-Chief of ARTISTdirect.com–offers his thoughts on Arielle: "Arielle represents everything that I always wanted this series to be. The mystery behind Dolor begins to unravel further within the landscape of a very dark and twisted story. The narrative itself examines so much in short space–from the breakdown of a marriage to the breakdown of a mind. Then there's a deeper and more demonic aspect to Arielle as well that's reminiscent of '60s and '70s horror, yet the characters all come to life vibrantly. Fans of the series will get to learn a little bit more about Caleb Taylor, and they'll also get a closer look at what's really happening underneath the surface of this town. Arielle also features a musical aspect that will come into play much more as the series progresses. In some ways, Arielle closes out the trilogy that is the first three books. However, it also leaves everything open for the next seven to come. This is a very special book, and newcomers and previous visitors to Dolor will be equally possessed by it…I still am."
Florino moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of working in the entertainment industry after graduating from Boston University Magna Cum Laude at 19 years old. He began his career at New Line Cinema and freelancing for magazines such as Metal Edge, AMP and Lollipop. Constantly writing, he cultivated a unique style that was clever, vivid and highly eloquent.

text: Design-build - the Synergy of Cooperation and Integration 08/01/1999 | Conceptually, Design-build Has Not Changed Over the Last Six Years: the Change Has Taken Place in the Attitude of the Increasing Number of Professionals Using This Multiview, Construction Delivery Process.. Originally publised by Buildings in Aug, 1999 By Craig RieksThree minds are better than one.Commercial building owners, designers, and contractors form a union of synergy and cooperation during design-build with one goal: to deliver on time and under budget the best construction product possible, regardless of complexity or enormity.Design-build, once an uncommon, construction delivery process in the United States, has worked through a bumpy, transitional period of perception/awareness and has positively changed a lot of minds during the last six years.Cut of the MarketCurrently, design-build, design-bid-build, and construction management at risk are the three major forms of construction delivery systems used in the United States. Each approach has its inherent advantages and disadvantages, and should not be considered the sole way to construct a commercial building.Design-bid-build, or the traditional approach to construction delivery, is established when an owner commissions a design professional — an architect or engineer — to prepare drawings and specifications for a construction project. A contractor is then hired through competitive bidding or a negotiation process to complete the work. According to figures released from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), Washington, D.C., from 1985 to present, design-bid-build dropped its hold on the market from 82 percent to 55 percent.Construction management is a project delivery system based on an owner's agreement with a construction firm, separate from the design-firm contract, to provide construction leadership, as well as perform administration and management, according to contracted services. The construction manager supervises and mediates the important players throughout the different phases of the construction process — design, construction, and change orders — with the interests of the owner in mind. Depending on the situation, a construction manager can assume the financial and legal risks of construction or not. In 1985, construction management commanded 12 percent of the market; today, the system holds steady at roughly 10 percent.Design-build's definition has not changed in the past six years, and is also known as single responsibility and design construct. "It is a project delivery system from an entity providing both design and construction services, who is at risk for cost, schedule, quality, and management of the entire process," says Jeff Beard, executive director of the DBIA. People often make one error when trying to define design-build, he adds. Design-build is not just a construction process with design as an added factor; it is a design and construction process, a union, with the actual design leading the plan.Risk is an important element to the working definition of design-build. All different forms of the contract and the big picture becomes a single responsibility, says Kraig Kreikemeier, an engineer and president of St. Louis-based Sverdrup Facilities Inc, a fully integrated, design company that uses design-build, as well as other approaches, for construction delivery. One becomes the designer of record, the contractor of record — the general contractor — during design build, which is also one of the drawbacks to the process. It takes a full capability, a strong financial resource, because one takes the construction responsibility, as well as the bonding and all the expenses that are associated with that process, he adds. Not a New or Simply Used ApproachCurrently, the U.S. commercial construction industry finds itself behind Asia and Europe in accepting design-build as a mainstream delivery process. According to the DBIA, 50 percent of commercial construction in Europe and over 70 percent in Japan are constructed using this delivery method.Although DBIA was established as late as 1993, design-build theory dates back to antiquity. This approach is similar to the methods of the master builder evidenced in structures like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, and in Medieval and Renaissance religious buildings of Europe. More recently, design-build was used to bore the channel tunnel between France and England."Some of the most complex construction projects in the world were design-build," Beard says. Design-build was used to construct the Brooklyn Bridge, the first, major, longest, suspension bridge in the United States.In the late 1970s and early 1980s, design-build was used in simple, time-driven designed projects — commercial buildings that incorporated a utilitarian design — perpetuating the popular belief that the approach wasn't appropriate for intricate projects. "A lot of industrial-type facilities were built early on [with design-build]," says John Edwards, an architect and associate vice president with RTKL, an international design firm. "And that was because the buildings had tight delivery schedules and were complex engineering projects. Not complex in the sense of a hotel or a hospital, but more like bulk storage facilities that were erected very quickly by construction companies." Edwards is based in Dallas.Since the 1980s, design-build's popularity has grown. Consequently, with the higher approval rates the delivery process has been utilized with more complex construction projects. Part of the transition is market driven, but mostly, the process makes sense. Design-build lends itself to adaptability, flexibility, and a full range of possibilities.Kreikemeier agrees that design-build offers versatility. "We at Sverdrup do very large and very complex projects, technically driven projects. And so over the last five to 10 years, I think the industry has moved to recognizing that the issue of single responsibility on complex projects is probably more important and doable than even the simple structures."The Driving ForceDesign-build is market driven through owner awareness and need.On the practitioner or supply side, designers and builders search for ways to answer their clients' requests for timely, budgeted construction projects.Owners want to stick with one design and construction entity, which follows sound logic. The giving of advice without standing behind it, without being at risk, is starting to evolve, Beard says, alluding to the division of design and construction responsibilities in the traditional design-bid-build process. "I wouldn't go to the world's best surgeon to do my appendectomy, to give me advice on it, and then go to another surgeon to cut out the inflamed organ. That's just not logical." Owners are looking for quality service, looking for someone to stand behind their products. Rather than just paying somebody for advice, there is continuous assistance. "That is answering to a higher authority."Additionally, design-build lends itself to electronic plan rooms, the Internet, and electronic, communicative advances of the future. There is no longer any reason to go through a segregated, sequential, linear process to accomplish a completed construction project for a client, Beard says. Now, this process can be achieved through information technology. This allows design and build elements easier access and acceptance to the same team, treating each other like contributors to the same end goal, which best serves their client's interest."My interpretation of what [design-build] was five years ago hasn't changed," Kreikemeier says. "The change is the acceptance in the marketplace."Market changes come through demand for a product. Designers and builders have taken notice, and in some cases have changed their modes of operation to survive in the market. The American Institute of Architects (AIA), Washington, D.C., partially rewrote its bylaws in 1978 to incorporate the design-build delivery approach. Before that period, architects saw themselves as the owner's advocate in the construction process, and the possible partnership with a builder as a direct conflict of interest. What has influenced this change or evolution of attitude?Preston Haskell, an engineer and president of the Haskell Co., a well-known, veteran, design-build firm based in Jacksonville, FL, says the pandemic spread of design-build occurred because of the cause-and-effect efforts of DBIA. He feels DBIA was a response to the emergence of design-build and the successful practice of the delivery approach by a number of highly competent and responsible practitioners. DBIA has helped promote awareness and instill some structure in the marketplace by articulating best practices and promulgating common definitions, which has helped to create constructive dialogue among professionals in the field. Communication fosters growth and understanding. Design-build would have grown in the market without the efforts of DBIA, but not as quickly or pervasively, he adds. A Matter of Demand and SupplyHaskell lists a number of market-driven, basic advantages, which have helped influence owners to ask for the design-build delivery process when they are considering construction, either new or modernization:• Singular responsibility: A single company takes credit as opposed to an adversarial finger pointing practice between architects in traditional systems of construction delivery.• Cost effectiveness: The design-builder designs in an atmosphere of construction cost and constructability. A line is not drawn on a piece of paper without knowing what it costs. Owners get more for their money, or they get the same product for less money.• Time savings: Total time to market can be reduced because design and construction can be overlapped. Bidding and redesign periods are eliminated; critical long-delivery purchases can be identified initially and ordered before detailed design begins. Conflict is reduced through cooperation. Often owners aren't aware of change orders because the process is expedited through professional teamwork and understanding.• Knowledge of firm cost: Accurate costs can be projected early in the process with as much as 10 to 15 percent of the completed documents. The 90/10 rule is applied: Ninety percent of the intellectual effort takes place in the first 10 percent of the design effort. As a result, economics, budgets and costs can be established during the 10-percent stage because 90 percent of the critical decisions are made. The other 10 percent is managed through the established budget.• High level of quality: The design-builder takes part in the design process; responsibility and ownership for the quality of construction in the project is inherent, rather than building from another's specifications.Opponents have argued that quality drops during design-build, because the architect is not situated to supervise the construction process. Conflict between designer and builder produces a natural process of quality workmanship.Haskell sees the process differently. The design-builder has a duty to his client to produce a product as opposed to a project, he says. He/she has an obligation to produce a product based on the owner's expectations — performance based criteria — like a car, which will perform to certain specifications. The design-builder's reputation and large amounts of capital are at risk. Design-build produces more than a commodity construction of another's plans and specifications. So the architect is really working with the design-builder in a cooperative, professional manner. The owner's needs are paramount. This practice, and ultimate attitude change among some architects, has helped spread design-build.Synergy: Making a Personal Changeby Moving ForwardThe multidiscipline views of design-led and construction-led firms working in the design-build mode offer the construction industry a number of possibilities, says Beard. The ultimate qualifier for builders is to wake up in the morning and define themselves as design-builders, not contractors, architects, or engineers.Design-build is an evolution of spirit, culture, cultivation, and intellectual dimension within a person, Haskell says. Contractors, many of whom are credentialed engineers or architects, are no longer seen as individuals who wear dirty boots and have no formal education. Often, the contractor is the first to see a flaw in design while working in the field. Functionality at fair cost is the mantra of the day. They know very quickly what will work, and what will not. Design-build delivery highlights the wisdom and working knowledge of contractors by bringing their abilities to the planning table, to the field in partnership with the design professionals, and to the owners' confidence in the completed building process. Today's builders, especially in the design-build mode, are sophisticated, valued partners with the design element. This is a change or evolution in attitude within the commercial construction industry.Builders or contractors brought into the design process early in design-build can successfully complete most projects by focusing on an owner's performance requirements. The later the design-builder enters the design process, the more difficult seamless construction becomes. DBIA created two documents, the 201 and 204, especially for the timing issue of design-build. The 201 document deals with competitive selection and is used after a design has already been drawn. However, if one has a highly complicated project, and design-build is the mode of delivery, then the 204 type of selection would be best. "I don't think there's any project where design-build cannot be successfully utilized," Haskell concludes.Integration: The Logical Stepping Stoneto Design-Build TheoryDesign-build firms, whether management is design-oriented or build-oriented, think of themselves as integrated businesses that offer their clients a full range of opportunities with design-build at the front of their choices. True design-build firms, organizations that are used to working in the efficient atmosphere of trust, respect, and cooperation, would rather construct a commercial building using the non-traditional approach. Sometimes a client may specifically ask a design-build firm to operate under a design-bid-build approach, and often the company will agree to do the work unbundled. Conversely, the opposite scenario also occurs where a traditional, design-bid-build firm is asked by a client or owner to construct a building in the design-build vein, and again, because the owner dictates market, the firm agrees. The project is completed in a bundled fashion. Fully integrated firms, like the Haskell Co. and Sverdrup Facilities Co., have both construction professionals and the design professionals on staff, which allows great flexibility in cooperation in their operating mode. "They both draw a paycheck from the Haskell Co.," Haskell says.Another option in design-build is when a contractor engages an architect as a subcontractor, but the contractor operates as the general contractor, Haskell explains. The contractor manages the design process through the architectural subcontractor. "It's a legitimate delivery system, and I think that's how a lot of design-build is being done today. I think we can deliver a better value doing it the way we've done it, because we've been at it for 30 years and have developed an in-house, totally integrated delivery system."Haskell thinks the designer-led model of design-build, where an architect holds the contract with the owner in a design-build mode, and subcontracts the construction responsibilities to a general contractor, is more rare in the commercial construction market. "Most architects don't have the financial strength, the deep pockets, and the ability to bond and guarantee costs. They have to go out, and in effect, have the contractor do that. On the other hand, if the architect is a good businessman, and is structured for design-build delivery, that can be a very effective model. I would say that it represents less than five percent of design-build projects."Jeff Beard sees all three models as possible design-build vehicles as long as they create a design-build team where individuals think of themselves as design-builders. However, he knows exceptions to the three models that have been successful in design-build. "I think there are some great people leading design-build companies who are not trained architects or engineers. They are good business managers; they are good people managers with an appreciation for design. They personally don't have to design. They have to be good at leading a consortium of designers, constructors, finance people, operation people, and maybe maintenance people."John Edwards describes himself as solutions-driven and service-driven. He envisions design-build within a larger framework of integration that solves or answers a spectrum of client needs. Edwards feels he can better serve his client by bringing both sides of the equation — design and construct — to the table simultaneously, because his clients are looking for answers, not advice. "I'm a proponent of a base of services, not just design and construction, but more of an integrated services approach to a project delivery that runs from site acquisition analysis, site studies, and zoning studies —the preconstruction services — to programming, budgeting, and design-building. This process can evolve into operation and long-term maintenance. If you manage the entire process for the owner, the service allows the owner to do what he does best: run his business."The definition of design-build has not changed. However, the uses for design-build are constantly evolving, witnessed by DBIA's struggle to update its Design-Build Manual of Practice. The table of contents is flagged with future topics of consideration for design-build. Learning is simultaneous and associated within the field, commerce, and publications. Design-builders find themselves confined only by the parameters or limits of their vision because this efficient construction process fosters cooperation, respect, and a large range of possibilities.Kraig Kreikemeier concludes, "The design-build portfolio is building every day."Craig Rieks (firstname.lastname@example.com) is managing editor at Commercial Building magazine.

I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.
In international football, you need pace and you need your players up top to create things out of nothing and run at people.
I have a lot of good football talk with cabbies, but when you want to get somewhere in a hurry, it can be distracting. I always know they're going to want to talk football if 'Talksport' is on the radio.
There's so many kids out there and it's such a cut-throat world. I've seen a lot of my mates, you know, who are better players than me at a certain age, and they're not in football now.
Being faster would probably make me better at football.
I come from a football family which has really helped.
I'm a very private person, and you have a lot of people looking into your personal life, away from football. That's the one thing that I don't like, but I always remember how lucky we are that we're playing football.

The National Football League announced today that Tampa Bay Buccaneers punter Bryan Anger has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 17.
Anger, earning his first career Player of the Week award, punted five times, placing all five punts inside the 20 in Tampa Bay's 17-16 win against Carolina. His five punts inside the 20 tied for a league high and led the NFC for the week. He had a net average of 45.8 yards, the third-highest mark in the league, allowing zero punt return yards.
Anger finished the 2016 season tied for third in the NFL in punts inside the 20 (37), while posting the fourth-best net punting average (42.7) – both franchise records. His five punts inside the 20 are tied for the most by a Buccaneers punter in a single game dating back to at least 1990 (also Josh Bidwell, 10/16/05 vs. Miami).
Anger is the first Buccaneers punter to earn NFC Special Teams Player of the Week since 2005 (Josh Bidwell, Weeks 3 & 6). Anger is the third punter in team history to earn the award, joining Bidwell and Tom Tupa (Week 3, 2003). Kicker Roberto Aguayo was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 11, marking the first time since 2009 that the Buccaneers have had multiple players earn NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors in the same season.
