Thanks a lot, Dak Prescott. Now more people will think the fourth round is still a gold mine for quarterbacks, but the data says otherwise. The update to our quarterback draft study for 1994-2016 shows little has changed: finding a good QB is really hard.

Best player available analysis by Sean McCormick
Remainder of Four Downs by Ryan Wilson
(Ed. note: For the next round of Four Downs, we're pleased to present Sean McCormick's "Best Player Available" analysis for each division, along with the usual gang commenting on other moves by each team before and since the draft. The reasoning behind BPA analysis is explained in this article. Each player drafted is listed along with his position on four different independent draft boards and the Best Player Available according to each of those boards. Please note that two of these boards only ranked 100 players.)

The good news is that Baltimore got their man when they traded up a spot to nab mammoth Oregon defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. The bad news is that they gave their division rival a draft pick for no reason whatsoever. The Ravens essentially bid against themselves for Ngata's services -- if Cleveland had truly been interested, it's doubtful they would have moved down for a sixth-round pick -- but at the end of the day, Baltimore was able to address their need for an interior presence with one of the best players on the board. Ngata's new job is to do everything possible to keep Ray Lewis clean and free to chase the ballcarrier: take on opposing offensive linemen, do the Lewis family dry cleaning, vacuum his carpets, whatever.
General manager Ozzie Newsome was able to find good value throughout the draft. In addition to Ngata, who was considered a minor steal on all four boards, the Ravens also did well with wide receiver Demetrius Williams, cornerback Derrick Martin and defensive end Ryan LaCasse. Newsome has had a blind spot when it comes to identifying receivers, but he may have found a good one in Williams, whose speed and hands made him a standout at the Senior Bowl. Williams graded out as one of the best picks in the fourth round. Derrick Martin has the size and speed teams are looking for at the corner position, but he would have been better off returning to Wyoming for his senior season, as his technique needs work. Seventh-rounders are expendable, so Martin won't have much margin for error in training camp.
Ryan LaCasse is too small to stay at defensive end, so the team will try him out at weakside linebacker. Baltimore has also moved last year's second round pick Dan Cody to the weak side, which suggests that they are looking to generate pass rush from the position. LaCasse has good upfield speed, but it's not clear he has the necessary athleticism to drop into coverage.
Since the last edition of the AFC North Four Downs the Ravens have signed veteran punter Leo Araguz to compete for the starting job now that Dave Zastudil is in Cleveland, added depth in the secondary with CB Corey Ivy, and inked the former Pro Bowl special teams standout, defensive end/linebacker Gary Stills.
The big free agent signing -- the one the Ravens are still hoping to make -- involves Steve McNair. Last week an arbitrator ruled that the Titans, McNair's current employer, couldn't change the locks on him to keep him from showing up for work. According to the Tennessean, McNair was scheduled to make $9 million in base salary in 2006, but the Titans, who have some salary cap issues, offered a reworked deal that totaled $5.5 million. The Ravens, currently playing the role of the bridesmaid, already have a five-year deal on the table that would pay McNair $12 million next season.
Tennessee contends that they are very interested in bringing McNair back for 2006, but if actions speak louder than words, McNair will open the season in purple and black, much to the delight of everyone in Baltimore except Kyle Boller.
(Ed. note: Of course, the Ravens and Titans finally completed their trade on Wednesday.)
With the quarterback position currently in flux, UCLA standout Drew Olson is currently listed third on the depth chart after Boller and Brian St. Pierre. During his senior season, Olson finished third in the nation in passing efficiency, threw 34 touchdowns and only six interceptions. He's a solid pocket passer but struggles when he is forced to make throws on the run ... Iowa's Ed Hinkel was one of the best possession receivers in college football but he was released after he failed his physical due to a broken arm suffered during the 2005 college season ... Currently Baltimore has very little depth in the secondary -- especially at safety -- but the team only signed one defensive back in the post-draft scramble, and that was cornerback Ronnie Prude.

Cincinnati has built a division champion primarily on the strength of its first day drafting, but it is unclear if this year's haul is going to provide the same kind of impact. In the first round, the Bengals jumped into the run on cornerbacks, tacking South Carolina cover man Johnathan Joseph. The Gamecocks have been something of a cornerback factory recently, turning out both Dunta Robinson and Sheldon Brown, and Joseph's skill set compares favorably with those players. He is very raw, however -- Joseph came out early after only one season as a starter -- and the learning curve for the position is a steep one. In the second round, Cincinnati took the quick-rising Andrew Whitworth as insurance against the potential departure of longtime right tackle Willie Anderson after this season. Whitworth is not a good athlete, but he's a mountain of a man and he excelled in the rugged SEC. As with the Joseph selection, Whitworth was decent value but not the best player on the board, or even the best player at his position. Cornerback and offensive tackle were two areas where good talent slipped during the first day, and a combination of Winston Justice and Richard Marshall or Jimmy Williams and Eric Winston would have graded out substantially higher than the players the Bengals ended up with.
Things went quickly downhill after the first two picks. Defensive end Frostee Rucker might be popular at the local Wendy's, but none of the boards thought he was worth more than a sixth-round pick; Cincinnati grabbed him at the end of the first day. Three of the Bengals' five picks on day two didn't merit a grade on a single draft board. Linebacker A.J. Nicholson had major character concerns heading into the draft, concerns that his recent arrest on burglary and vandalism charges did nothing to alleviate. Reggie McNeal, the player who draft guru Corey Chavous quixotically insisted was the best quarterback in the draft throughout the NFL Network's television coverage, was the only one of Cincinnati's second-day picks to be considered a steal on two boards, and he's a candidate for a position change. The Bengals envision McNeal as an Antwaan Randle El type, and they'll be working him primarily at receiver.
Chad Johnson's getting some new gold fronts. The Bengals restructured his contract -- giving him an extra $10 million over the next year -- and Johnson will now be in Cincinnati through 2011.
Less publicized but almost as important as the Johnson deal, Cincinnati also re-signed guard Bobbie Williams. The Bengals' offensive line was one of the best in the league last season (they were fourth in Adjusted Line Yards and second in pass protection) and the front office also hopes to re-sign two other important contributors, each entering the last year of their respective contracts: tackle Levi Jones and guard Eric Steinbach.
In other news, the team made Jeremi Johnson the highest paid fullback in the league when they restructured his deal in April. The Bengals also replaced quarterback fourth quarterback Craig Krenzel with Dave Ragone and signed Anthony Wright to serve as Carson Palmer's backup, with Doug Johnson third on the depth chart.
Erik Meyer (Eastern Washington) adds more depth at quarterback and is a good scrambler, but he needs to work on his mechanics ... Eric Henderson registered 25 sacks at Georgia Tech and could add depth at defensive end ... Despite losing Matt Schobel to the Eagles, the Bengals have already released the three tight ends they signed as free agents: Greg Estandia, Ryan Hamby and Bristol Olomua.

Cleveland fans who watched in horror as former coach Butch Davis give away a second-round pick so he could move up one spot in the draft and select Kellen Winslow II shed tears of joy when they saw the Browns trade down a spot in this year's draft. It's not that the Browns made out like bandits; they only nabbed a sixth-round pick for their troubles. But getting an extra pick, any extra pick, while still drafting the player they wanted all along has to qualify as a tremendous success considering the team's appalling recent draft history.
The additions of Willie McGinest and Ted Washington in the offseason gave the team some flexibility as they continued the switch to a 3-4 defense. Broderick Bunkley carried the highest grade on three boards, but in the end general manager Phil Savage decided (correctly) that the supply of pass rushers would dry up before the supply of linemen, so he opted for fellow Seminole Kamerion Wimbley. Wimbley is explosive off the edge, and he has the necessary athleticism to play in space. He's already penciled in to start opposite McGinest. Cleveland added two interior linebackers as well, drafting D'Qwell Jackson and Leon Williams. Opinions ranged on Jackson, who was productive at Maryland but is extremely undersized for a 3-4 inside linebacker, and Williams was generally considered an underachiever at Miami.
While Cleveland didn't get exceptional value out of their linebacker selections, they did superbly just about everywhere else. Travis Wilson didn't have a big senior season due to the unsettled quarterback situation at Oklahoma, but he's a big, rangy target who runs crisp routes, and he was excellent value in the middle of the third round. Scatback Jerome Harrison and fullback Lawrence Vickers were well regarded on most of the boards, and each has a good chance to make the team. From a value standpoint, Savage's two best picks were Georgia cornerback DeMario Minter and Stanford defensive tackle Babatunde Oshinowo. Minter has some character red flags stemming from a drug arrest his freshman season, but there's no questioning his measureables or his production. Minter has good size and an excellent closing burst, and he is solid in run support. Oshinowo was even more of a bargain, as he was considered a second- or third-round pick on three of the boards. Oshinowo isn't a playmaker, but he is able to consistently hold his ground and tie up blockers. The fact that Cleveland was able to land such a promising nose tackle prospect in the sixth-round makes their decision to pass on top end linemen like Bunkley and Haloti Ngata seem very sound.
(Ed. note: From an intelligence and personality standpoint, I thought Oshinowo was the most impressive interview I sat in on when Michael David Smith and I were at the combine in Indy. The guy actually used his last year of eligibility on classes toward a Masters in electrical engineering. When you get to the NFL, where every single player is physically talented, intelligence can definitely make a difference. I know some people thought he was out of shape at the combine, and he's entirely built for absorbing blockers in a 3-4 defense rather than making plays in a 4-3, but people will be kicking themselves in a couple years.)
After a flurry of activity early in the free agency signing period (LeCharles Bentley, Kevin Shaffer, Ted Washington, Willie McGinest), things have been pretty quiet at Browns headquarters in Berea, Ohio. Prior to the draft the Browns traded safety Chris Crocker to the Falcons for a fourth-round pick that was eventually used to take offensive lineman Isaac Sowells.
Tight end Aaron Shea signed with the Chargers, and Cleveland signed Darnell Dinkins, formerly of the Ravens, to add depth behind Kellen Winslow.
Running back Chris Barclay (Wake Forest) only weighs 175 pounds but was the 2005 ACC Player of the Year and scored 40 touchdowns during his career ... Quarterback Darrell Hackney (UAB) is 6'0'', 240 pounds, but finished his career as the school's all-time passing leader (9,886 yards) with 71 touchdowns and 33 interceptions ... Wide receiver Steve Sanders (Bowling Green) is a long shot to make the team, but if football doesn't work out he can devote his full attention to running the Peach Pit After Dark.

Pittsburgh has been bleeding away talent at the receiver position for the last two seasons, so the team made a major move to restock, trading up seven spots to land Ohio State speedster Santonio Holmes. Three of the draft boards agree that the Steelers got Holmes at the proper point in the draft, but all four boards had him as the second-rated receiver behind Chad Jackson, who would have been available for Pittsburgh if they had stayed put. Instead they traded away third- and fourth-round draft picks for Holmes. While the price seems high, Holmes does fit the offense well. Pittsburgh uses their second receiver as a vertical threat to open up room for Hines Ward to work underneath, and Holmes has both the acceleration to run past cornerbacks and the hands to make tough catches down the field. While the Steelers hope they found their Plaxico Burress replacement with Holmes, they also went looking for a replacement for Antwaan Randle El, drafting Florida State's Willie Reid in the third round. Reid is a bit undersized to play on the outside, but he has an ideal skill set for a slot receiver. Reid may not see the field regularly with the offensive unit, but look for him to contribute right away as a return man.
The Steelers lost depth at safety, quarterback, running back, and defensive line during the off-season, and they used the draft to replenish each of those positions, beginning with their selection of Syracuse safety Anthony Smith in the third round. While Troy Palomalu has the strong safety spot locked down until further notice, the team needs free safeties who can cover, and Smith's forte is pass defense. Orien Harris was an undersized defensive tackle at Miami, but in the Steelers' 3-4 defense he will play right end. One of the attractive things about playing a 3-4 is that it allows teams to draft 'tweener prospects who don't fit in a conventional 4-3 scheme, and Pittsburgh is hoping that Harris will be able to develop as a run-stuffing end who can still provide some inside pass rush. In the sixth round, the Steelers finally put an end to Omar Jacobs's catastrophic slide. Jacobs had no business opting to leave early for the draft after a lackluster junior season, and his footwork and throwing technique will need major work. It will be up to quarterbacks coach Mark Whipple to get Jacobs acquainted with the fundamentals of the position in time to replace fading veteran Charlie Batch as the backup quarterback. Cedric Humes was a bargain at the back end of the draft, and he fills the team's need for a short-yardage back in the post-Jerome Bettis era. What is notable about each pick is that while they were clearly addressing team needs, they were doing so with tremendous value, as all four players were considered minor to major steals on at least two boards. That's how you restock your roster.
Pittsburgh re-signed almost all of their free agents before the draft, with Antwaan Randle El, Kimo von Oelhoffen and Chris Hope being the notable exceptions. Linebacker James Harrison also earned a new deal and adds depth at both linebacker positions. Defensive lineman Rodney Bailey returns to the team after spending one season in New England and another in Seattle.
Last year, undrafted free agent rookie wide receiver Nate Washington so impressed the coaches that he made the team out of training camp at the expense of fourth-rounder Fred Gibson. Washington only caught one pass all season, but could emerge as the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver when training camp breaks. Not bad for a Tiffin University alum who, prior to the 2005 draft, NFLDraftScout.com ranked as the 145th best college wideout in the country (out of 201).
Defensive end/linebacker Mike Kudla (Ohio State) has a very good chance to make the team as a linebacker. You might remember Kudla as the guy who bench pressed 225 pounds a mind-boggling 45 times at the NFL Combine ... Defensive end Lee Vickers (North Alabama) is listed at 6'6", 285 pounds and runs the forty in 4.57 seconds. He could make the team as the special teams wedge buster as he learns the defensive end position in the Steelers' 3-4 alignment ... Just in case Brown alum Sean Morey doesn't make the team again, Pittsburgh also signed Princeton tight end Jonathan Dekker to improve the odds of an Ivy Leaguer on the 53-man roster.

"In the sixth round, the Steelers finally put an end to Omar Jacobs's catastrophic slide...all four players were considered minor to major steals on at least two boards."
This makes me wonder if the board projections listed for Jacobs are accurate. Getting picked at 164 after being projected at 160/164/UR/UR is neither a catastrophic slide nor a steal on two boards.
So when IS the book coming out? Amazon still says August 1.
I heard that FO was hoping to have it ready to go by the middle of July. But with shipping I probably will not see my copy until Aug 1st.
That's what I heard too.
So on a side note, apparently every team with a pick after round 5 didn't pick the best player (Anwar Phillips). I think that this throws off the article a little bit.
to replace fading veteran Charlie Batch
Batch fading? Why he looked bigger than ever on my TV screen.
Well, good news for the book then - PFT is reporting that McNair has in fact been shipped to Baltimore for a 4th rounder.
But the other thing that the article should look at is that half of the teams in this division were sucessful this past year. one has about another year of rebuilding/retooling under thier new head coach. and the other one well.... they have won the superbowl once in this new century. but that aside I think that in the lower rounds that HC's and GM's may fall of the BPA theory a little bit and start looking for people that can fill roster spots and provide some depth for thier veterans in certain positions.
Getting picked at 164 after being projected at 160/164/UR/UR is neither a catastrophic slide nor a steal on two boards.
I don't think they meant a slide compared to his board value. I think they meant a slide compared to his self-perceived value. Note the next sentence - "Jacobs had no business...". I'm sure to him as he was watching the draft, he was thinking "why did I go out for the draft again?"
Then again, he did get drafted (better than Marcus Vick) so maybe it was worth it to him.
So is Jay Glazer for fox sports. the trade is a 4th round on condition that McNair passes a physical for the ravens.
CNNSI.com is reporting that McNair has been traded toBaltimore pending his passing a physical.
The Ravens are to be congratulated for having the patience to wait this out and still get the vet QB they wanted. With Boller at QB the Ravens didn't seem particularly threatening. Now they have to be considered a legit contender in a very tough division.
Thank you, Ravens and Titans. I thank you on behalf of myself, Ryan and Ned who didn't want to re-write whole chapters, the Workman editors, and the layout guys.
Re: #11
Agreed. I really don't like the Ravens, but they showed a great deal of patience and prudence, not giving in to the Titans' demands for a higher pick. They got the QB they wanted at the price they wanted, so nice job.
And, assuming McNair can stay on the field throughout the season, I think the Ravens just became a legit contender for the division title.
Sorry for the double post, but I just thought of the add-on comment: the Titans probably just dropped out of the running for this year's AFC South title. So that division will probably come down to IND and JAX.
Why stop at division title for the Ravens? With Jamal Lewis having a normal offseason working out as opposed to being in jail, McNair coming in and reuniting with Mason, and a healthy Heap, they have a very good offense. Then if Ngata can do his job and let Ray Lewis make plays, plus Ed Reed making plays in the secondary, Baltimore is a very intriguing team to watch this season.
errrr... RE #14, I think it was probably always sorta between Indy and injuries. Kinda theirs to win, you know?
Kachunk, as a practical matter, you're probably right.
My point was: with Steve McNair in a Titans' uni, the AFC South looked like a 3-horse race (with IND being the obvious, odds-on favorite), at least nominally. But with McNair in BAL, one of those horses just pulled up lame.
what have you no faith in the almighty QB Vince Young?
Re-#15...I think your getting a little carried away, although they will be better for sure,the only way the ravens even make it to the playoffs is if they beat out cincy for the wildcard...Ray's problem wasn't having to deal w/ to many blockers, it was the fact that he got older real fast and lost more than a step. Pittsburgh is a more complete team this year than last and the only thing that would keep the division title from them is Ben getting hurt and missing a substantial amount of time
Re 19...that or the Bengals. If Palmer's doing well they're every bit as good as the Steelers. In fact they match up well, given the strength of their secondary, and the fact that it looks like Pittsburgh is going more pass oriented this year.
If McNair performs well, then the AFC North has just become a very strong division.
re 17 and 18:
Billy Volek has proven himself every time McNair has been injured. Volek is a capable starter and it is time he got his chance. Vince Young won't start this year. If FIscher gets his way, he won't even take a snap.
Brandon Jacobs did nothing wrong in coming out for this draft. He had a crew of Senior OL & WR's graduating and he would've most likely been picked in the same round or lower next season. Pittsburgh won't really be much more pass oriented this year (53% Run 47% pass my guess). What they're attempting to do is open games more aggressively with the pass, build a lead and run out the clock. An example of this philosophy is the '98 Denver Bronco's. Also, Pitt's games last year were very much balanced until they built a lead and then they sat on it. They're also going to incorporate the no-huddle for portions of games. Not like Indy and Cincy (at least not to start with) but more of a thing to jump start the offense. Mularkey did this in '02 with Maddox at QB when the O was in a slump as well as on the road. You'll notice that when your the road team and you go no huddle the home crowd isn't as much of a factor as they can't sustain the noise consistently.
Sorry, but I am in a nitpicking mood...the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Andrew Whitworth in the second round, not Andre Whitworth.
props to brad for sharing menaingful non-statistical insight. usually the meaningful info on this sight is in the form of better/new stats.
but it may not be up to Jeff Fischer. I can't recall how much they paid for Steve McNair when the first got him, but the owner probably just shelled out a crapload of money for VY. I just think that both Fischer and Chow will be hogtied and forced to play VY at some point this year. The way that people above Fischer handled the McNair issue just leads me to belive that the Titans are in for some rough years ahead.
But I will give props to both Fischer and to McNair about being men about the whole stupid situation and not making any TO like comments.
That was suppposed to be, "I can't recall how much they paid Steve McNair when the Team first aquired him
Sorry about that
So mcnair is on the ravens
which means they will be in the afc championship game for sure
New Orleans(reggie bush)vs Dallas (owens)
Baltimore(mcnair) vs oakland (moss)
the championship games are pretty much set
Is there some sarcasm there that I'm missing? O.o
I'm just annoyed that this guy isn't named "Bob" or something.
To say that the Ravens will now have a good offense and be division, and or (hand over ears), super bowl contenders, is whacked.
Their offense has been terrible forever. They won the super bowl with a much better, much younger defense than they have today. If they do get better on offense then it will take them at least half the season to get it going. I would love to say that Cinci's defense, because of their additions, is going to be good enough to get to the super bowl but they have been sub-standard for so long that it would be extemely foolish to do so. So it goes with these Ravens.
re 20, the secondary of the bengals are only a strength if they dont have to tackle anybody. in fact with the games I watched last year that seems about true with anyone on the bengals defense not named odell. ( i give madieu williams (sp?) a pass as he was hurt)
oh and seriously, does anyone think that mcnair wont be injured by week six?
oh and seriously, does anyone think that mcnair wont be injured by week six?
It's not like McNair has a history of being injured for entire seasons, like Rex Grossman.
""the secondary of the bengals are only a strength if they dont have to tackle anybody.""
You probably didn't know it but Deltha was the ONLY Cb in the league last year that didn't give up a pass longer than 20 yards. With Adams keeping bodies off of Odell, look for Odell to put up Ray Lewis numbers and for Pollack to put up Terrell Suggs type of numbers. All in all I think the Bengals defense is going to be a top 10 defense and with a healthy Palmer...
The Ravens are still respectable, but they are also old and fading..
Oh, look, more GIGO. Thought it's nice to see some other people are beginning to question the "wisdom" of the draft boards used to bash the clubs in light what all 32 clubs did, versus some hack who can't get/keep a job in the NFL.
If McNair actually played the entire season, I think the Ravens would have a legit shot at 10-6, maybe 11-5, assuming a reasonable amount of health. It wouldn't be a reach to suppose they could beat the Steelers once, the Bengals once and the Browns twice, and go 6-4 or 7-3 against everyone else.
Look at their competition for a moment. Setting aside the Browns, who are a year away, the Steelers and Bengals are returning substantially the same teams they fielded last year.
The Bengals defense still seems... well, not bad, but flawed. They'll still be trying to outscore you, and they'll still succeed more often than not.
With a healthy Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers are the best team in the league, but without him, they're merely good. If he plays all year, the division belongs to the Steelers, but he seems to have a propensity for getting nicked up.
The Ravens should be in the mix, but what they really need to have a playoff opportunity is for Roethlisberger or Palmer to miss a big chunk of time with injury, plus for McNair to play all or most of the season.
And this is obviously about the Ravens last chance, as they certainly are an aging team. Two years is about all they have to make a run.
oh and seriously, does anyone think that mcnair wont be injured by week six?
If the Ravens are smart, they will injure him in training camp, keep him in the starting lineup, and watch as he gets a co-MVP trophy.
As a Ravens fan I want to believe they'll be a legitimate contender this year, but as a realist I have to admit I'm pretty skeptical. The defense is probably alright. They lost a lot of depth on the line through free agent losses, but Halota will probably be a big improvement, and Dan Cody could be very good (missed all last year with injury). The secondary is VERY thin, especially at safety.
The offensive line is aging, slow, and very poor at pass protection, sweeps, and screen plays. Without a good offensive line, I doubt the offense will function very well.
The Steelers are still formidable, and very likely make the playoffs either as division winner or wild card. The Bengals have a dangerous offense, but with their collection of criminals and turds perhaps reaching a critical mass, it wouldn't shock me to see them fall back to the pack this season. (I know, I know, the Ravens have hardly been pure in this regard. I'm not trying to start a gratuitous fight on this point. But I think a lot of knowledgable observers are expressing the same concern about the Bengals. Just read PFT for instance. Written by a Steelers fan, I think, but Florio seems pretty knowledgable and objective as an analyst.)
The Browns still have to show me they're ready for prime time. Still predicting them for 4th place in the division, but it wouldn't shock me to see them make a great leap forward either this year or next.
It's also worthwhile to note that the Bengals' defencive stats last year are a bit skewed due to the insane number of INTs they snagged, largely against bad teams. I don't think they did a great (but they didn't do a terrible) job of addressing their D through the draft. I like the addition of von Oelhoffen, but I don't think they're going to do as well as they did last year, this year.
I like the [Bengals'] addition of von Oelhoffen, but I don't think they're going to do as well as they did last year, this year.
Unless there's been a deal with the Jets, Kimo is with Jersey/B, not Cincinnati.
#41: Thanks, I'm tired and somehow got "injuring your star player" confused with "signing on for the next season." Go Jersey/B. Or something.
Disclaimer: I am a bengals fan. Bengals didn't sign Von Oelhoffen, rather Sam Adams. Their D should actually improve I think for a number of reasons. One, their best defensive player, MWilliams, played very little last year plus they went through many strong safeties due to injury last year as well. I cant count how many times I hollered at the TV due to missed tackles by Ohalete (sp?) The Bengals signed Jackson from Tampa to play strong and Williams is reportedly healthy. This should be a big boost to the secondary. Secondly, both Thurman and Pollack played quite a bit as rookies and will likely be better simply from gaining experience last year. Thirdly, if Adams can stay healthy for 20 or so snaps a game, it becomes tougher to run on the Bengals, which has definitely been their achilles...
Regarding the Steelers, they are the class of the division as much as I hate to write it.
The Browns are better, and in the NFC might actually be a fringe playoff team, but in the AFC North, they are not quite there.
About the Ravens. McNair makes them better, but their biggest problem I thought the past few years was the o-line. Lewis won't return to form not because he has aged (although maybe partly so) but because the line is no longer that good. McNair will make the passing game better at times, but he is no longer mobile enough or young enough to keep it rolling enough and or to stay healthy. I see the offense putting together a good series or two, and thing a bad series or two.
I'd have to guess at this point that the Browns look like the 4th place team, the Ravens 3rd, and the Bengals/Steelers fighting it out and the winner being the one that stays the healthiest during the year. Given the questions around Palmer's knee, I'd have to give the edge to the Steelers at the moment...
Just my two cents...
42 hey there was, at least, lots of speculation of von oelhoffen going to the bengals as a fa this year.
Also Im sorry Carson. The Steelers and Bengals for the forseeable future shall be good highly even games. But you are never going to get it to rival the steelers-ravens.
#44: Indeed. However, I'm a PIT fan and should not let even fatigue make me forget the fate of Dark Lord von Oelhoffen.
#44. All of that speculation was just that, speculation. Bengals fans would never forgive the team if they brought Kimo von Wilkes Booth back to Cincinnati.
#46: Funny, if I recall correctly, the OL whose fault it was is still around. Or do we only blame convenient people? ;P
I would love to agree with you about the bengals D. In many ways I do agree. The additions that you noted will all help, especially Madieu Williams, but until they can get their defense to perform at a top 10 or even 15 level they will continue to be a hopefull playoff team with no real shot at advancing very far.
All right.
I think the bengals are going to win this division.
Carson Palmer is well on schedule with his knee and is already throwing passes and running lightly.
Chad Johnson is an AMAZING receiver and Rudi Johnson has had 1400 yards the past two seasons.
The steelers lost a lot with the leaving of Jerome Bettis and Randle El, and Kimo Von oelhofenlenhonfenfelen, plus chris hope.
the browns added a lot of defense over the off season (keyword defense, however their offense is pathetic.
And the ravens, suck. Mcnair isnt as good as he used to be. HES INJURY PRONE. Their defense might be okay, but thats it.
Chad Johnson is an amazing receiver. Except against the Steelers. Then he disappears.
The steelers lost a lot with the leaving of Jerome Bettis and Randle El, and Kimo Von oelhofenlenhonfenfelen, plus chris hope.
All of these players were replaced, and in some cases, likely upgraded. The only significant loss, in my opinion, would be Bettis' emotion. And that's just an intangible aspect that may or may not actually have any importance.
As in almost every football game ever played, the final outcome between the Bengals and the Steelers (lets face it, although the Browns may be better they aren't a contender and the Ravens have this year, and this year only and they still don't have enough) will come down to the offensive and defensive line's. The Steelers have a clear edge defensively and and the Bengals have the edge on offense. Therein lies the outcome.
Oh, and one more thing about the Ravens. I think that they are actually taking a step backward with the signing of McNair. He can't have much left and they will soon be in the position of having to revamp the core of both their offense and defense at the same time.
McNair is definitely not a step backwards. A bent stick might be a step forward from the Kyle Boller we saw playing in games that actually mattered. Beyond that, McNair will bring authority and credibility (a.k.a. "leadership") to the huddle -- receivers will probably lay out for a pass from McNair more often than they would for one from Boller, and when he tells them something, they will listen.
Will he stay healthy all season? I doubt it. Will he play through some injuries anyway? Of course.
They probably overpaid, and he probably won't last as long as they want, and he probably won't improve the offense as much as they think, but there will be some improvement.
Here's what I don't get. The illustrious Steve McNair, who may or may not be on his last legs, is supposed to take a team that went 6-10 last year and according to some is now going to single-handedly hoist the Ravens on his back, carrying them to a 10-6 or 11-5 record in one of the toughest divisions in football. Our proof? Well, let's look at his win-loss record from last year: 4-10. Not exactly the stuff of single-handed hoisting. So if he couldn't pull the Titans on his coattails last year, how is he supposed to take a marginally better team and be the primary force in turning them around?
It's all part of the annual overrating of the Ravens' talent. It happened last year, too.
The fact is, the Ravens are a mediocre team. They're good enough to beat most of the bad teams, and good enough to steal a win here or there against a better team, if the circumstances are right. But that's it. Even with Steve McNair, they are still a 6-9 win team.
The outcome of this division hinges on Carson Palmer's health. If he is healthy and plays 10+ games the Bengals should repeat as division champs. If not, they will need some luck to make the playoffs. They have a tough schedule to start with games against playoff hopefuls (KC, Balt., Atl.) and proven winners (N.E., Pitt, Carolina, Tampa Bay). They close out against Indy, Denver, and Pittsburgh. I take it back. Palmer needs to be healthy and one of the top 3 QBs in the league for the Bengals to advance. I don't know if that is the toughest schedule in the league, but it has to be up there.
#57: Check Caplock!
Unfortunately, it likely will continue to be the Steelers and the Bengals for the foreseeable future in the AFC North with the Browns potentially giving everyone fits over the next year or two... until they stabilize/upgrade their QB situation.
Despite the addition of Steve McNair, it's hard to see the Ravens doing better than 9 or 10 wins this season. The only "good news" is that if Kyle Boller were running the offense, the Ravens would probably have only a 3 or 4 win season.... and good is in quotes because it would be terribly embarassing for the team. But, if they did have a really poor season, they would:
a.) fire Billick (not saying he's a bad coach... just seems that the players have stopped responding to him)
b.) start the inevitable cap purge a year early... which not only changes expectations, it also provides an opportunity to get rid of some folks who haven't been performing well, who are expensive, and who provide "chemistry problems".
c.) have a shot at another early round QB.
57: I almost thought you were serious. The 50 years gave it away -- if you'd put 20, this post would have been an actual rebuttal, which would just be silly.
#50 asks "STEELERS: BEN ROTHLISBERGER IS AN EXCELLENT QB, BUT WHO IS HE GOING TO THROW TO IF THEY DOUBLE TEAM HINES WARD AND DOUBLE TEAM SANTONIO HOLMES????
Primary answer: Heath Miller. Plus anyone else you can free up because after those two double coverages, you only have seven defenders.
Truce, guys:
ESPNRadio is reporting that Ben Roethlisberger crashed his motorcycle on the 2nd Avenue Bridge (?) in Pittsburgh. He was not wearing a helmet, and has reportedly been taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital.
He needs a major dose of prayers and luck if this is true. This Raven fan is hoping he gets all he needs.
#61: Yeah, the 10th St. Bridge right by 2nd Avenue. Apparently he went over his handlebars and head-first into the car's windshield.
Primary reports seem to indicate that Roeth was proceeding through a green light when an elderly woman pulled out in front of him. The severity of the injuries is unclear, except for that they are "non-life-threatening," but he definitely suffered some sort of head/scalp injury and was bleeding (as scalp cuts are wont to do.)
Sorry if this ends up being a double-post. Something is up with the server.
YESSSSSSSSSS big ben goes down
Great for the Ravens, we are excited in Baltimore
In all seriousness, Roethlisberger's injury cooks the Steelers (assuming it keeps him off the field for awhile), which does leave the door open for the Ravens if McNair can stay out of the trainer's room.
I'd disagree with a fair bit of this characterization.
1. McNair doesn't have to carry the Ravens singlehandedly. Their defense was 7th in DVOA last year.
2. I don't think it's fair to say the Ravens were only marginally better than the Titans (discountining the QB position). While the Ravens were #7 in defensive DVOA, the Titans were #30. But QB performance was essentially the reverse of this (McNair was #13 while Boller was 27).
I think the questions/concerns about the Ravens OL are reasonable. But even with that, I think QB play in the top 40% combined with defensive play in the top 25% is enough to merit playoff aspirations.
no robo-punter discussions..afc north you let me down.
Re: 64
As a Ravens fan, I have to say this comment is sick. It's a freaking game.
Carson Palmer is going to recover, Big Ben is not. He is going to get released and signed by the Seahawks who will then use him as a back up to Matt Hasslebeck and use him in games only in goal line situations of two yards or less for the TD, so then he can dive it in, and convince the officials it was a touchdown. After 2 seasons, they will release Matt Hasslebeck who will then work for Visa, in promotion of their new NO HASSLEbeck credit card. Ben Roethlisburger will then be released two seasons later for being a Jew. He will then sue the NFL, and the 23 jewish players in the nfl (22 of them are 5th string punters) will go on strike, and burn down tagliabooboo's house.
64, I hope that in real life you aren't nearly as much of an asshole as that comment makes you look.
70 (Stephen Yang), how will the Steelers get rid of Roethlisberger? He signed a 6 year, $40 million dollar contract. Are you aware of the cap hit Pittsburgh would take if they released or traded him? Judging from your ALL CAPS POST BEFORE, I seriously doubt that the economics of the NFL is a topic you are informed about.
Ben's head injuries were severe, but there were no internal injuries. And with regards to his knees, he didn't damage anything internally there, either. There was talk of him being ready for the season.
They are joking here in Chicago that Roethlisberger will play more games than Grossman this year.
Ben is going to have a nice scar and some fake teeth. Carson's injury is going to take a lot longer to heal, and could potentially cause problems in the short term, even after his recovery. I can't say for sure if Roethlisberger is going to be back in time for this season, or if he's going to be 100%, or if missing time before the season is going to affect is performance. This crash is going to seriously affect him.
But I do know this. Don't pay attention to racial stereotypes. Stephen Yang is proof of this!
Not all asians are smart.
73, I don't think so. It's working perfectly. But what works even better than my sarcasm detector is my retard detector.
I'm open to the possibility that Stevey Y (the ALL CAPS AZN POSTER, not the hockey player) might actually be an intelligent person capable of coherent thought, writing at at least a high school level, and intelligent football analysis. He could be messing with us. His poorly crafted posts, mundane analysis, and tendency to post in ALL CAPS might just be an elaborate ruse. I admit that I could very well be wrong in my own analysis of Yang.
However, I've frequented enough internet forums to know someone with a double-digit IQ when I see one.
But, in keeping with the spirit of the topic, I'll throw in some football talk.
This division is going to be extremely competetive because the two heavyweights have taken some hits, the Ravens have improved themselves with the acquisition of McNair, and the Browns should be mediocre enough to keep things interesting. However, I doubt you will see two teams from this division make the playoffs. Not surprisingly, the team that wins the division will do so depending on whether or not their QB can stay healthy. Palmer is coming back from injury, Roethlisberger we all know about, and McNair is notoriously brittle... although, of those three, I think Steve might end up being the one who has the most relative success because I feel he is the one is going to want to prove to everyone that he can do it.
Having said that, if Carson comes back, he could very well be the top QB in the league. Though, Cincy's defense is suspect... if they don't address that side of the ball, they will find themselves exiting the playoffs pretty quickly yet again.
Offense is great for people who play Fantasy Football... but it doesn't win Championships.
Browns fan: I can't believe I'm seeing the negative comments on Charlie Frye. He had no weapons: see Antonio Bryant (now with the 49ers) they wouldn't have let him go if he was going to help Charlie. I admit he's not great now, and may never be. But, in this system, with good weapons; see KII this year and Braylon next year, a line, a good running game (Rueben Droughns, 1200 yds) we'll be fine with Charlie. Another wide receiver and the continued advancemet of the defense , which you know will happen with Phil Savage and Romeo, we'll be there sooner than you all think!
76, Roethlisberger did not have any clauses in his contract regarding dangerous conduct. As I said before, if the Steelers cut him, they'll have to take a huge cap hit. And why would they cut him? There's a lot of talk about him playing this season. Who would they replace him with? Charlie Batch?
Ben's injury will affect him this season, but his career is going to continue past this season. Most GM's think beyond just the current season. But apparantly, retarded people who post on internet forums don't.
This, Stephen, is why you fail.
Also, sarcasm is classified as either satirical or ironic remarks. Your posts, while strangely hilarious due to their stupidity, contain no irony and you are not making any satirical references. If anything, you are being facetious... not sarcastic. Your lack of understanding of these concepts only further illustrates your overall ignorance and proves that it is not limited to matters of pigskin.
Hmmm... your caps lock is stuck because you were chewing gum? So one could say you are unable to type and chew gum at the same time?
woo, anyone who thinks i was serious in that whole storyline should go check themselves in at the nearest mental hospital. thats all i have to say.
God damn! Charges for another Bengal. For 2007 they should make the stripes horizontal.
ravens suck.
browns suck.
steelers are pretty good.
bengals are winning this division.
Pittsburgh is worse than last year, and last year they didn't win the division. I don't think it's a given they make the playoffs, let alone win the division.

But recently , Pakistan discover a new sort of energy, they are playing like a team and definitely it's hard to catch them now. The way the uprooted no. 1 side England in just 3 days show's their power and authority that they aren't less than anybody in the cricket world. They don't have big guns in their line-up apart from veteran Younis Khan, but still they are able to win series after series. They haven't lost a series in last 7 months and the way they played against England in first test match definitely shows that Pakistan team is emerging in world cricket.
Captain Misbah says that " the main reason behind Out recent success is that we are playing like a team where every player wants to put up their 100% and there is no sell-fish in the team." The biggest virtue of this team is focus and once you focus on the job in hand, which we have done in the past 18 months, you tend to do well," said Misbah, who has not lost a Test series since taking over in October 2010.Misbah said every player is selfless, quoting an example of the third day in the first Test against England."You can judge the unity by the fact that Abdul Rehman himself came to me and asked to be replaced by Saeed Ajmal so that he (Ajmal) could get the third wicket needed to complete his 10 in the match," Misbah said.
Cricket world and fan's all expect that Pakistan will play like that and compete with soe top class team in the world because the evolution of Pakistan is great of world cricket as cricket has been playing on only certain countries.

[Anandtech.com] OCZ Releases Low Profile Version of Vertex 3
OCZ has added a low profile version of the Vertex 3 to their SSD portfolio. The drive has a height of 7mm, which is 2.5mm slimmer than most 2.5" drives are. Other specifications match the regular Vertex 3, so reading our Vertex 3 review will give you an idea of the performance, but below is a specification table in case you don't remember the main details off hand: OCZ Vertex 3 Low Profile Specifications Capacity 60GB 120GB 240GB 480GB Interface SATA 6Gb/s NAND 2Xnm MLC Number of NAND Packages 8 16 16 16 Number of Die per Package 1 1 2 4 Sequential Read 535MB/s 550MB/s 550MB/s 530MB/s Sequential Write 480MB/s 500MB/s 520MB/s 450MB/s Max 4K Random Write 80K IOPS 85K IOPS 85K IOPS 35K IOPS A Canadian retailer, Canada Computers, is already listing the low profile versions and pricing appears to be slightly higher compared to normal Vertex 3. However, Canada Computers has not received any stock yet so the prices may not be final yet. Availability is unknown as of now but expect to see these SSDs in stores within a week or two. We are definitely experiencing a shift towards smaller form factors in storage devices and computing in general. Especially Intel's Ultrabook project is fuel for the fire because in order to meet Intel's strict dimension limitations, it's necessary to use either mSATA SSDs or thinner 2.5" SSDs/HDDs. On top of that, the internal components of SSDs don't usually even need the extra 2.5mm and making a drive 7mm instead of 9.5mm is only a matter of shaving off some of the chassis. I'll give you a sneak preview of our Plextor M3 Pro review to demonstrate this: Plextor M3 - 9.5mm tall Plextor M3 Pro - 7mm tall Both SSDs have exactly the same PCBs and the only thing that makes the M3 Pro thinner is the fact that it has thinner thermal pads. What this means is that pretty much any 2.5" SSD could be turned into a 7mm model without even modifying the PCB. I would like to see more hybrid approaches like what Intel is doing, though. Hybrid in this case means that there's a riser attached by screws that turns a 7mm SSD into a 9.5mm SSD. Some laptops are designed for 9.5mm drives and a 7mm drive might jiggle inside the laptop. Having a riser means the user doesn't need to decide between 7mm and 9.5mm as you can easily remove the riser if you need to fit drive inside a computer that only takes 7mm drives. Of course, offering 7mm and 9.5mm drives like OCZ and Plextor are doing is better than offering only 9.5mm drives, but using a riser still looks like the best option. More... |

Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner has dropped her headdress in favour of dangly earring in a new Bastille video.
Scroll to watch the video
The 18-year-old actress, who plays Sansa Stark in the hit HBO fantasy drama, plays a starring role in the video for new single "Oblivion", lip-syncing along to Bastille's male vocals.
Turner has starred in Game of Thrones since the show's first series in 2011, and has also made appearances in TV drama The Thirteenth Tale and thriller Another Me.
The actress' character Sansa Stark is anticipated to return to Game of Thrones when the fifth series airs in the spring of 2015.
The Northampton-born British actress has previously earned a Young Artist Award nomination for Best Supporting Young Actress in a TV Series for her role in George RR Martin's adapted series.
Bastille's new track is taken from their number one album Bad Blood, following the success of their two top five singles "Pompeii" and "Of the Night".
The band's single "Pompeii" was named the most streamed track ever in the UK last with over 26 million streams, according to data from the Official Charts Company.

FAPAL: United U18's 1 Sunderland U18's 5
Posted by nickogs20 on March 30, 2008
A makeshift United side put in a performance every bit as miserable as the Mancunian weather as Sunderland's youngsters took a big step towards the Academy playoffs at a sodden Carrington. Injuries, international call-ups and reserve team duty deprived the u18's of the several regulars and gave the starting eleven a decidedly unfamiliar look – Reece Brown was drafted in from the under 16's to partner Kenny Strickland at the heart of defence, while the ever-versatile Jimmy Derbyshire slotted in at right-back. In midfield, there was a first Academy start for 16 year old Norwegian Joshua King, a January recruit from Valerenga. A tall, athletic centre-forward by reputation, King made his u18 bow on the right flank, just outside countryman Magnus Eikrem who partnered Oliver Norwood in central midfield. Fresh from his reserve debut on Thursday, Robert Brady was given a free role behind Evandro Brandão. Sunderland fielded Martyn Waghorn upfront, a player who had already faced United this season at first team level (Waghorn made his debut in the Black Cats' 4-0 Boxing Day drubbing by the Reds), and came into the game sitting atop Academy Group D and having only last week narrowly lost to Manchester City in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals. A tough test for the young Reds even without taking the absentees into consideration, and so it was to prove.

I have never tackled a yarn wreathe for that exact reason...tedium. It just looks like my lack of preciseness would probably bite me in the butt!
Amy, I'd say you did a fabulous job! I love a good wreath and this is a great one!
Girl, you did SUCH a nice job,it's so pretty! The only thing I would suggest is to save yourself some money the next time, and buy a $1 water noodle from the dollar store instead of the foam wreath. You just connect the ends together with some good, strong tape, and you're good to go!
Your wreath looks so sweet on your door Amy!
That is really pretty. I tried a yarn wreath Christmas 2011, and tried to use that cheap piping stuff - hubs asked if it was a steering wheel cover :) This is just so pretty!
That's one of those projects that is better to do in stages! Time consuming but pretty!
We appreciate you stopping by! We love to read every comment on here. :)

The National Park Service kicked off the New Year by breaking ground on their Twin Creeks Science and Education Center. The First-of-its-kind facility will support all of the Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI); an initiative to document all of the life forms within the , enabling scientists to make educated decisions about protecting and preserving the park's precious ecosystem. The 15,000 square-foot facility will not only house research laboratories, but will also play host to a curatorial space for specimens collection, and a teaching space for students. As part of the National Park Service's project mission, they have adopted the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED rating system, and is targeting LEED Certification upon its completion this fall.
While designing a facility with the flexibility to accommodate continually changing research activities, Architects Lord, Aeck & Sargent also managed to integrate a highly efficient daylight-harvesting design, multiple energy and water efficiency strategies including ultra-low-flow plumbing fixtures, waterless urinals, high-efficiency lighting, and natural ventilation. Use of a parametric thermal analysis helped make sure the design optimized building performance efficiency. Further emphasis was placed on selecting materials with recycled content. In addition to the emphasis placed on the building, an electrical vehicle recharging station has been planed on-site.
The Twin Creeks Science and Educatio Center provides not only a research and education center, but an opportunity to build interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers – taxonomists, biologists, botanists, and ecologist from the National Park Service; other govnerment agencies; and partner colleges, universities, and museums. As stated by Keth, Langdon, the park's supervisory biologist, The Twin Creeks Science and Education Centr will dramatically increase our ability to discover, understand, and protect the more than 100,000 species throught to be living in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Alissa Stern of BasaBali.org saw this LH post on digitizing Balinese and wrote to tell me about her organization's project "to develop the first interactive, multimedia material to teach conversational Balinese and Balinese script…. We are particularly excited about this project because it brings together Balinese linguists, videographers, and animators along with Balinese focused anthropologists and historians in addition to linguists and language software specialists… We're happy to hear from anyone working on similar initiatives and would welcome any support." Sounds very worthwhile, and I thought I'd pass along her recommendations for Balinese language materials:
Kersten SVD, J. Bahasa Bali. Ende, Flores: Penerbit Nusa Indah, 1984.
Singaraja, Balai Penelitian Bahasa. Kamus Indonesia-Bali. Jakarta: Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, 1975.
Spitzing, Gunter. Practical Balinese: A Communication Guide. Hong Kong: Eric M. Oey.
Sutjaja, I Gusti Made. Concise Balinese Dictionary. Hong Kong: Tuttle Publishing, 2009.
Sutjaja, I Gusti Made. Everyday Balinese. Hong Kong: Tuttle Publishing, 2009.
Poor thread only seems to be attracting the scammers.
Not that I have anything to add, except that I would assume teaching the Balinese script is mostly for historical texts. It's very pretty but I would assume that most Balinese that gets written now is in the latin script. -
Since this thread doesn't seem to be attracting comments…here's a question I've long had about Balinese and its neighbors: the word for "language" is BASA, versus BAHASA in Indonesian. Now, both words are borrowed from Sanskrit BHASA: neither Indonesian nor Balinese allows voiced aspirates. For BHASA to be adapted as BAHASA makes sense: but what about Balinese BASA? Is it a case of a different strategy for loanword adaptation (in which case BASA and BAHASA were each separately borrowed from Sanskrit), or does BASA go back to an earlier BAHASA? In which case the word might have been borrowed by one language of the area (Old Javanese?) and then spread to others.
I've seen both basa and bahasa used for Sundanese I assume (with no proof!) that at some point the h was dropped and then the vowels collapsed
bahasa – h = baasa
baasa – a = basa
There are cases of dropping intervocalic h's in some languages of the region, well at least in Indonesian though the general similarity of phonological systems leads me to believe it could have happened more than once.
Alternately it might have been borrowed by people who couldn't hear any difference between b and bh and entered the language as basa. -
In response to Michael's question about the script, yes, almost everything nowadays is written in Latin script: newspapers, books, magazines, correspondence, pretty much everything except for Government signs, which are required to be written in Balinese script (for historical cultural reasons) and Latin script (so that the average Balinese can easily read the signs). You can still find Balinese script on old lontar leaves which captures so much culture and history of Bali — and Balinese school children are required to learn the script so that they don't lose their traditions — but as a practical matter, Balinese script just isn't used anymore, beautiful though it may be. We're including a chapter on the script because historically, it is part of the Balinese culture.
We also wanted to include instruction on Balinese script because the software that we are using, donated by Transparent Language, has a fabulous facility to teach nonWestern scripts in a captivating, fun, effective way. We thought that Balinese school children — who are required to learn the script at school as a cultural matter since nowadays, few learn it at home — could benefit from this program, so we also included it as a resource for them.
I'm checking about the question of "bahasa" v. "basa." As Michael suggests, it happens with some frequency, at least between Indonesian and Balinese. I need to consult some colleagues and will try to get back with more info. -
The consensus seems to be that the Balinese "basa" comes from the Old Javanese
"bhasa", rather than from the Indonesian "bahasa."
Apparently, "bhasa" was pronounced with the
aspirated b‹i.e., /bh/ and when it was brought to Bali, the /h/ was dropped. Malay borrowed this and put an extra vowel before
the /h/ creating "bahasa." -
Alissa: thank you for answering my question. I take it that the example of "bhasa" is typical, and that all Sanskrit loans spread to languages of the Indonesian archipelago via Old Javanese. Or is there evidence (for at least some vocabulary/some languages?) of different languages of the area each having directly borrowed Sanskrit lexical items?
An excellent question, Etienne, but outside of my sphere of knowledge. Perhaps others know?
