Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Cigarettes and Taxation...
I have not smoked a cigarette since July 5, 1985 but smoked three packs per day at the time I quit...for the last time. With that disclaimer stated, if I were still a cigarette smoker, I'd be looking for alternatives.
What are the alternatives? The first, and the one I finally chose after numerous failed attempts, is to quit using cigarettes. Another, is to cut back on the amount of cigarettes smoked. Yet another is to find someplace where cigarettes are still 'affordable'.
Statewide Smoking Ban?
Wisconsin will soon find itself again debating the pro and con of a statewide ban on smoking. Nothing would get smoked in any public building or business establishment in Wisconsin if the chief proponent, Sen. Risser (D), has his way. He and Sen. Decker (D), who is the Senate Majority Leader appear to be somewhat at odds over this legislation. Both like the idea but Decker wants Risser to compromise and let bars and taverns either skate free or at least get a phased time period over which the ban would become effective. Risser says 'no way' will he do that kind of compromise.
This debate gets very confusing (and very emotional) in that some cite the need for the state to protect us from destroying our health, while some simply say they can't tolerate smoke and don't want anyone to smoke anything, anywhere. Yet others find this to be a property rights issue, while others lay claim to the fact that cigarettes are a legal product that generate significant amounts of tax revenue (as discussed yesterday).
Spring Election Races Interesting...
The morning Journal Sentinel carried the listing of races that we'll be deciding during the February 19th and then the April 1st elections this year.
I noted that the 7th District of Washington County has no one running for the Supervisor spot. Interesting. Maybe a write-in candidate will appear on the horizon.
Fire Chief EMT-Certification Required?
The Public Safety Committee met again Wednesday evening and, according to the Journal Sentinel that quotes Trustee Al Vanderheiden, Chairman Langer wanted a couple of things decided.
He proposed the hiring of two part-time firefighters as a way to cut down on over-time. His motion died for lack of a second. Apparently that wasn't too popular an idea. Would that solution have saved money for the citizens or was it more intended to punish the Chief and Captain Matt Karpinski who is the 'part-time firefighter' who has earned more than $35,000 in the past two years.
A Little Of This & A Little Of That...
Patrick McIlheran has accurately portrayed the new group supposedly trying to keep the Supreme Court race on an even keel, but there is some question as to whether they are going to do that or are simply going to electioneer against the conservative person in the race. So far, they don't seem to like the fact that Justice Butler's voting record as a Justice is being discussed in what, to me, seemed an even-handed fashion. Catch that here.
Community Columnist Gary Kraeger also has dealt very ably with a similar area in his column reviewing the transgressions of Justice Annette Ziegler. Catch that here.
Real Life Fire Department Thoughts...
The following Blog is a copy of a comment posted to the earlier discussion of whether or not the fire chief should be required to be EMT-certified. It seems to have, as its objective, the creation of lemonade from lemons, and strikes me as worthy of consideration.
Should we require the Fire Chief to be EMT certified? Perhaps. What we should REALLY do is make EVERYONE on the fire department be cross trained as BOTH fire fighters AND EMTs. In an era when cost-effectiveness seems to hold precedence over life-safety, how can we justify having so many people on the fire department NOT cross-trained?
Health Care Consolidations Finalized...
As we've all known for some time would occur, a couple of significant mergers, for us at least, have now been made complete.
Aurora and Advanced Health Care are now one entity. And, ProHealth Care and Medical Associates are now one. We've heard and read the assurances but we all know that things will change. If things were not going to change, then why would each of the two acquirers have acquired?
Fire Chief Seems To Be Left Twisting In The Wind...
Germantown citizens have learned through the press that the sole employee to not receive a cost of living increase is Chief Pollpeter. Every other employee has received that adjustment, and for many it came on top of an 'adjustment' to bring Germantown's compensation structure more in line with neighboring communities.
It seems a stretch of the imagination that there could only be one outlier so far as satisfactory performance, but that is what we're asked to believe. I could believe that there is only one employee with whom the Board and Administrator are at odds at this time, since it seems that has been going on since the beginning of this administration if not longer.
Can We Learn From Mequon's Approach To Its Fire Department?
The morning Journal Sentinel carried an article written by Tom Kertscher that immediately struck me for its bearing on the issues we've been witnessing in Germantown.
The Mequon Common Council President has decided that he'll become a paid-on-call firefighter for the city. The mayor doesn't like the implications and the city attorney recommends that the alderman steer clear of all issues. The mayor was quoted as saying, "My personal belief is that you must recuse yourself from every discussion-public and private-dealing with the Fire Department."
Smoking Ban In Wisconsin...
The 'stop smoking' movement has done a great job in getting its point out. So great, in fact, that most of us simply accept the idea now that all smoking in indoor public places will ultimately be banned. Trade associations have rolled over and are now asking only that all their members be penalized as a single group so that all will be treated 'equally'. Restaurants are willing to bite this bullet so long as all their competitors will have to do so, too. It appears that taverns and bars are also falling into lockstep.
This is such a great example of the 'slippery slope' I continually talk about. One seemingly innocuous thing leads us sheep to the next seemingly innocuous thing. One day we awaken to find that the sum total of every little innocuous thing has added up to a significant occurrence. (I could cite pre-WWII Germany, but that would probably be too emotional.)
Incandescent Light Bulbs & Freedom...
How in the world can one combine freedom and light bulbs in the same context? Well, let's see.
We are being told that incandescent light bulbs are being eliminated in favor of a nationwide conversion to the use of compact fluorescent lamps. Those are, so far, considerably more expensive to produce (although subsidized by tax money to make them seem less expensive), are not capable of generating the kind of lumens to which we're accustomed, the color of light is different from what we're used to seeing and they have no where near the flexibility we find with incandescent bulbs.
Health Care Cost 'Crisis'...
Seemingly everytime we pick up a newspaper or periodical we see that health care costs have risen again. The only real question anymore is 'How Much?'. Of course, if we still have health insurance, the premium rates continue to go up and up. What in the world can we do about this? Would statewide mandatory insurance coverage do the trick? Can we somehow legislate lower insurance premiums? Are the drug companies really the culprits? Maybe we simply need to move to Canada or Europe.
Recent studies show that our national health care spending increased in 2006 by 6.7% to $2.1 trillion. That means that one out of every six dollars spent in our national economy goes for health care. The 'good news' in this staggering number is that this is actually slower growth than we saw for 2005. Apparently we're going in the right direction, even if too slowly.
Smoking Ban Revisited...
I was listening to Jay Weber on WISN 1130 this morning and he had a proposition to resolve the smoking ban issue that had been mentioned to him by Jerry Bott at the same station.
Why not give every restaurant and tavern owner sixty days during which time they would need to decide if they were going to welcome smokers or go non-smoking entirely? Each would then be able to cater to those whom they would naturally attract. The doors would carry a big sign telling people which way this establishment had gone.
Frankenstein Veto On Spring Ballot...
Wisconsin citizens get the opportunity to vote on whether or not the 'Frankenstein Veto' should be eliminated by constitutional amendment. This was made possible when the Assembly gave its final approval yesterday.
The question will appear on the April 1st ballots.
Another Healthcare Puzzle Piece Falls In Place...
Have you ever heard of Progressive Healthcare? No one else had either until the press release today announcing the achievement of a joint operating agreement between Columbia St. Mary's and Froedtert & Community Health. Progressive Health will "financially integrate, govern and lead" Columbia St. Mary's and Froedtert & Community Health.
The new entity will have co-Presidents, Leo Brideau of Columbia St. Mary's and Bill Petasnick of Froedtert & Community Health. (I don't recall too many co-Presidencies working out for any length of time. Maybe this is simply part of the transition plan.) The agreement is to be finalized in 2008. (This provides a lengthy window which might indicate that there are some nitty-gritty issues yet to be handled.)
Virtual Schools Being Strong-Armed...
Virtual schools have come under a very concerted attack by the teachers' union (WEAC) and now the Democratic-led Senate (Sen. John Lehman [D-Racine]).
Virtual schools must be doing a good job to have inspired this kind of attack from the establishment that 'owns' education. Only the fear of exposure of new ideas seems to provoke such heavy-handed attacks.
A Conversation With the Village Attorney...
I received a call from Attorney John DeStefanis midday on Friday, and returned his call in the early afternoon. He serves as Germantown's Village Attorney. He had called to give me some information that might help me better understand the situation concerning our fire department and our our village trustees. I had referenced his opinion as reported in the Journal Sentinel article covering what I thought to be a similar issue in Mequon.
I have been critical of Trustee Langer continuing to serve as Chair of the Public Safety Committee even though he has now ended his service as a paid-on-call firefighter in Germantown. Mr. DeStefanis pointed out that there were two distinct issues involved. Those issues are whether or not the 'offices' are compatible when two positions are held by the same person, and it addresses the potential for conflict of interest. He pointed out that state statutes permit one person to serve as both a trustee and a firefighter simultaneously. This is not incompatible so long as the position as firefighter wasn't created expressly for the person, that the person not earn greater than $15,000 per year, and that the person's selection as a firefighter was not vested in the government body on which he or she serves. The Village Board does not hire firefighters, the open position was not created by the Village Board, and any selection process is made by the Police and Fire Commission, and not the Board.
MATC Makes News Again...Bet They Hate That
Tom Kertscher writes about MATC and its new business incubator program in the January 20th Journal Sentinel. It seems that the only press MATC can get is 'bad' press. And they seem to get better and better at that.
The article goes into the MATC's two urban business centers. They have taken over old industrial building space and have rented that space in small increments to new businesses at very low rent cost. The idea of business incubators, as the name suggests, is to enable them to mature in a protected environment until they're self-sufficient and can move out into the real world bringing jobs to the community. Few of these businesses have reached the point of self-sufficiency which is not uncommon with new businesses. Many more fail than succeed no matter where they start.
Healthcare Consolidation & Collateral Damage...
The phrase 'collateral damage' is most often associated with military battles when things adjacent to a target get 'broken'.
There is the potential for collateral damage in the world of healthcare, and we see that playing out today between Aurora, Wisconsin Physician's Service (WPS), Health EOS, and employers and employees. As Aurora has managed to acquire and/or merge its way to the size that it is, it has become a very dominant healthcare entity. It participates in networks (as well as stand-alone relationships), and network access is sold by Health EOS among others. Health EOS, a preferred provider organization, is the product of consolidation/acquisition, as well.
Tax Rates Up...Tax Collections Down?
Have we finally gotten to the point where the lines on the graph cross? Is it possible that politicians in Wisconsin have increased taxes and fees to the point that state revenue collection suffers?
There are ample examples of tax rate cuts actually increasing the amount of taxes collected. It happens at the federal level and at the state level. There are also many examples of the reverse. Governor Doyle will probably not address this during his 'State of the State' message on Wednesday of this week. He'll talk about the the economic slowdown and the need for belt-tightening at the state level.
For Whom Does A Conservative Vote?
For the first time that I can recall, there does not seem to be a clear stand-out in the Presidential primary races over whom a conservative can be excited. True, there have been those over whom we got excited and elected, and we were disappointed. But, this time around, I am having real difficulty coming to a conclusion.
Fred Thompson came and went. His delay at the onset followed by the lackluster performance after he entered the race pretty well assured he wouldn't be a viable contender. Too bad, because I thought his positions were closer to mine than those of anyone else.
Governor's Solution To Expected Shortfall?
Governor Doyle advised his audience last evening during the 'state of the state' message, that we were going to have to make some tough decisions and cut spending.
Then he proceeded to propose a new program called BadgerChoice that would have subsidies of $100 Million in the next budget cycle (beginning in 2009) and that would provide healthcare coverage for employees of firms under 50 employees. Republicans were quoted as saying that a lot could be done to stimulate the lagging economy with $100 Million, but the governor would apparently rather spend that money on this program.
Tax Rebates = Income Redistribution
We are apparently going to have a 'tax rebate' program that will send some $150 Billion into the economy in the May-June timeframe.
People who didn't pay taxes but had at least $3,000 of earned income will qualify for a rebate check. People who had up to $75,000 of earned income will qualify. People who had earned income of about $87,000 and up will receive nothing. The higher income people will actually be paying taxes so that lower income people can get money back from the government.
KRM: Keep Rail Money
KRM stands for the Kenosha-Racine-Milwaukee rail commuter system and is used whenever the cognoscenti is looking for cute short-hand.
This thing just won't go away; not because it is an idea whose time has come, but because those who want it will keep hammering us over the head until we submit to their brilliance. This system would supposedly make us the equivalent of a Denver, or San Diego or Minneapolis, or any other metropolitan area that has built such a system to rid itself of commuters on four wheels.
Plethora Of Points...
The Republicans are fighting amongst themselves over whether or not to try to control their budget 'earmarks', and if so, how to proceed. The party's elected members met over the week-end and failed to take any real steps to end earmarks. The President is expected to address earmarks in his State of the Union address this evening. It is reported that he will tell Congress that he'll veto any appropriation bills for 2009 that have greater than 50% as much in the way of earmarks as the same bill in 2008 carried.
Aurora Pulls Out...
Aurora Health Care has withdrawn its proposal to SynergyHealth. That proposal would've seen an affiliation between the two health systems. I suspect it was withdrawn because Aurora knew it would not be selected by the SynergyHealth Board during its deliberations this week, and preferred to not be seen as a 'loser' in this quest. Remember that a large group of that system's doctors had taken a public anti-Aurora position last year.
That leaves, apparently, the proposal from Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and the proposal from what has now become known as Progressive Healthcare (the new entity being formed by Columbia St.Mary's and Froedert & Community Health).
What About A New Elementary School?
It may seem to be a little early to begin the discussion about the proposed elementary school that would be built if the April 1st referendum question about the $16.5 Million bond issue is approved, but we're going to do so anyway. April 1st will be here before we know it, and this is a complex issue that deserves some thought and discussion.
I note that the Board has hired the Robert W. Baird organization to assist with the dissemination of information about the referendum, but I thought it would be good to get questions from those of you who are interested regardless of your position today or on April 1st.
Congressman Sensenbrenner Has It Right...
Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner has been outspoken in his opposition to the tax rebate checks being proposed. He voted against the bill that passed in the House of Representatives.
He has been speaking out on radio as well as in a Small Business Times Blog that appeared yesterday. His position is that there should be no checks sent for several reasons:
First, the checks, if finally issued, will not hit the pockets of recipients until late-May to June, long after the impact in the marketplace would be desireable.
Second, past rebates of this nature have been proved to have had little beneficial impact on the economy since the bulk of the money didn't find its way into the economy.
Third, some $10 Billion of the total amount would be sent to those who paid little or no taxes in the first place.

Testiscles should lower from the abdomen into the scrotum before birth. Some boys are born with one or both testicles still inside the abdomen or groin. This is called undescended testicles. Orchiopexy is a surgery to lower the testicle(s) into the scrotum.
Reasons for Procedure
Orchiopexy is done to treat undescended testicles. The surgery may improve fertility. Undescended testicles also have a higher risk of developing cancer later in life. Having the testicle in the scrotum makes it easier to check for early signs of cancer.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your child's doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Testicle move back up into groin after surgery
- Damage to the testicle
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Injury to surrounding structures
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your child's doctor will do the following before the surgery:
- Physical exam
- Imaging, blood, and urine tests
- Discuss the anesthesia being used and the risks of surgery
Talk to the doctor about your child's medications or any recent illnesses. You may be asked to have your child stop or start certain medications before surgery.
Other things to keep in mind before the procedure include:
- Bring special toys, books, and comfortable clothing for your child.
Your child will need to avoid eating for a period of time before surgery.
- For children younger than one year, it is often recommended that they do not eat after midnight the night before the surgery.
- Clear liquids, such as breast milk, water, and clear juices, may be allowed up to two hours before the procedure.
General anesthesia will be used. It will keep your child asleep during the surgery and block pain.
Description of the Procedure
Small keyhole incisions will be made in one or both sides of the groin and in the abdomen. Long, thin tools will be passed through the incisions. They will allow the doctor to view and operate inside the body. First, the testicle will be examined.
Next, a pouch will be created in the scrotum. The testicle will be pulled down into the newly created pouch. Stitches will hold the testicle in place. The stitches will dissolve on their own. All other incisions will also be closed with stitches.
In some cases, a small button will be placed on the outside of the scrotum. The button will hold the testicle down until healing occurs. The doctor removes the button by cutting the stitches a few weeks after the procedure.
A medication may be given during the surgery to help manage discomfort after the procedure. In most cases, your child can go home from the hospital on the same day as the surgery.
How Long Will It Take?
1 hour per testicle
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Your child will be given medication to relieve pain or soreness during recovery.
Post-procedure Care
- Your child will be monitored while he recovers from the anesthesia.
- The nurse will give pain medications as needed.
During your child's stay, the care center staff will also take steps to reduce the chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your child's incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your child's chance of infection, such as:
- Washing both you and your child's hands often, and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your child's healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your child's incision
When your child returns home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Give medications to treat pain and prevent infection as directed.
- Minor bleeding is normal. Care for the incisions as directed by the doctor.
- If you child wears a diaper, change it often. Leave it off for short periods to reduce any irritation to the area.
- Follow your doctor's direction for incision care. You may be asked to put an ointment or cream on the incisions.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to bathe your child.
- Engage in gentle play. Avoid tiring activities for a few weeks. Your child should avoid sitting on or riding a bicycle for about a week after the surgery.
- Monitor your child for signs of pain. These may include irritability, trouble moving, sweating, or pale skin.
Call Your Child's Doctor
Call your child's doctor if any of these occur:
- Increasing pressure or pain
- Redness, drainage, puffiness, or soreness around the incision site(s)
- Changes in frequency, odor, appearance, or volume of urine
- Difficulty urinating
- Signs of infection, including fever or chills
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Lack of energy
- Loss of appetite
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

- Description
- Ultra-Pure Whey Isolate Primary Source
- Enhanced with Creatine and Aminos
- Superior to other Whey Protein Formulas
- NO Proprietary Blends
- NO Fillers
- NO Underdosed Key Ingredients
- NO Hype
- NO Banned Substances (WADA)
- NO Exceptions
NITRO-TECH® is a scientifically engineered whey isolate+ lean musclebuilder formula designed for all athletes who are looking for more muscle, more strength and better performance. NITRO-TECH® contains protein sourced primarily from whey protein isolate – one of the cleanest and purest protein sources available to athletes. Other whey protein supplements might have only a few grams of this highly bioavailable and easily digested protein. NITRO-TECH® is also enhanced with the most studied form of creatine for faster gains in muscle and strength.
- Build More Lean Muscle Than Regular Whey Protein
Research conducted and published in a scientific journal shows that subjects using the core formula in NITRO-TECH® gained 8.8 lbs. of lean muscle in six weeks compared to subjects who used regular whey protein, who gained 5.1 lbs.
- Rapid Post-Workout Amino Acid Delivery
In addition to its key musclebuilding ingredients, NITRO-TECH® is the first protein to contain all three key free-form amino acids (alanine, glycine and taurine) and is designed to deliver essential amino acids and proteinogenic (protein building) amino acids that are quickly digested and absorbed by your bloodstream – aiding in muscle cell repair and growth and helping to make NITRO-TECH® the perfect choice for rapid post-workout amino acid delivery.
Alanine is the second-most widely used amino acid in protein synthesis, after leucine, and is the primary amino acid for the production of usable glucose during intense training. Experts believe that supplementing with alanine post-workout can help combat muscle breakdown and promote protein synthesis. Glycine is an amino acid which has been noted to play a role in the formation of many other biological compounds in the body, such as proteins and creatine, and even supports cell volumization.Taurine is the second-most abundant amino acid found in muscle and aids in cell volumization.
- Build More Strength Than Regular Whey ProteinEach scoop of NITRO-TECH® contains a research-proven dose (3 grams) of creatine monohydrate. Combined in NITRO-TECH®, whey protein and creatine build more strength than regular whey protein. In one study, subjects using the whey/creatine combination in NITRO-TECH® increased their one-rep max bench press by 34 pounds, compared to only 14 pounds for subjects using regular whey protein.
- Ultra-Clean Protein Formula
A single scoop of NITRO-TECH® contains 30 grams of protein, primarily from whey protein isolate, ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate and hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, with only 1 gram of carbs and 1.5 grams of fat! Most protein powders deliver significantly less protein per scoop while some protein formulas are loaded with fat and carbs. The whey protein in NITRO-TECH® has been filtered using Multi-Phase Filtration Technology for less fat, lactose and impurities than cheaper protein sources.
- Best-In-Class Taste
Every flavor of NITRO-TECH® won in head-to-head third-party taste tests against leading competitors.

- Health Notes
Whey Protein for Sports & FitnessWhey Protein
Why Do Athletes Use It?*
Some athletes say that whey protein serves as another protein choice in their diets.
What Do the Advocates Say?*
Protein is necessary for rebuilding tissue-this is especially important for bodybuilders. All types of protein provide the body with amino acids. From an athletic point of view, whey is just another type of protein. Choosing whey protein over other types of protein simply adds variety to the protein choices available.
Whey is a common ingredient in many meal replacements, which are designed to provide a large amount of nutrients in a minimal amount of calories.
How Much Is Usually Taken by Athletes?
Animal studies suggest that whey protein can increase gains in lean body mass resulting from exercise.1 A controlled trial found that six weeks of strength training while taking 1.2 grams of whey protein per 2.2 of pounds body weight per day resulted in greater gains in lean body mass, but improved only one out of four strength tests.2 Another controlled study found that people taking 20 grams per day of whey protein for three months performed better on a test of short-term intense cycling exercise than people taking a similar amount of milk protein (casein).3 However, a double-blind trial found that men taking 1.5 grams per 2.2 lbs of body weight per day of predigested whey protein for 12 weeks along with a strength-training exercise program gained only half as much lean body mass and had significantly smaller increases in strength compared with men using a similar amount of predigested casein along with strength training.4 A controlled study of HIV-infected women found that adding whey protein to strength-training exercise was no more effective than exercise alone for increasing strength or improving body composition.5*Athletes and fitness advocates may claim benefits for this supplement based on their personal or professional experience. These are individual opinions and testimonials that may or may not be supported by controlled clinical studies or published scientific articles.

Fix typo. 0s0 is not a single-float. (Well, it is in CMUCL, but not in general.)
Lynn Quam on cmucl-imp on 2004-03-30 says (defun foo (f d) (declare (type (simple-array single-float (*)) f) (type (simple-array double-float (*)) d)) (setf (aref f 0) (aref d 0))) doesn't produce any warnings and generates completely bogus code. Don't know what the real answer solution is, but turning off the assert-continuation-type for a single-use continuation fixes this, which is what 18a used to do. There are probably other bugs that this hides.
* src/compiler/array-tran.lisp (%check-bound): Fix an off-by-1 error in bounds checking. Observed by Christophe Rhodes on cmucl-imp.
* src/compiler/array-tran.lisp (svref, schar, char): Define source transforms so that they don't accept more than one index, for better error messages.
The SEQUENCE-COUNT type was previously used in c:fndb, but since C::SEQUENCE-COUNT /= KERNEL::SEQUENCE-COUNT, it was an unknown type. Please read boot4.lisp. * src/code/exports.lisp ("KERNEL"): Export sequence-count. * src-types/bootfiles/18e/boot4.lisp: New file. Make compute-effective-slot-definition AMOP compliant. Patch from Kevin Rosenberg. * src/pcl/std-class.lisp (compute-slots): Pass slot name to compute-effective-slot-definition. (compute-slots): Likewise. (compute-effective-slot-definition): Add parameter slot-name. * src/pcl/generic-functions.lisp (compute-effective-slot-definition): Add second parameter slot-name. Allow non-keyword keyword names in lambda lists. This fixes test cases STRUCTURE-BOA-TEST-15/[1-8], and FLET.30. * src/compiler/node.lisp (arg-info): Accept non-keyword keyword names. * src/code/type.lisp (key-info): Likewise. Fix type system bugs detected by Paul Dietz' test suite This is to a large extent a port from SBCL. * src/code/type.lisp: Mostly rewritten with code ported from SBCL. * src/compiler/typetran.lisp (ir1-transform-type-predicate): Return nil if type is *empty-type*. (source-transform-negation-typep) (source-transform-intersection-typep): New functions. (source-transform-array-typep): Handle unknown array element types. (typep): Add handling of negation and intersection types. * src/compiler/srctran.lisp (make-canonical-union-type): Simplify, now that #'type-union is smarter. (ir1-transform-<-helper): Give up on non-numeric, non-member types. * src/compiler/checkgen.lisp (type-test-cost): Add a case for intersection-type. (values-types-asserted): Don't use coerce-to-values, see the comment there. * src/compiler/array-tran.lisp (array-dimension): Accept :maybe as array-type-complexp. * src/code/pred.lisp (%%typep): Add handling of negation-types and intersection-types. Change cases of hairy-types, union-types, and arrays with unknown element type. * src/code/exports.lisp ("KERNEL"): Export negation-type, negation-type-type, intersection-type, intersection-type-types. * src/code/class.lisp (sealed-class-intersection): Return one value. (class :simple-intersection): Return one value, return nil in the default case. (class :complex-subtypep-arg2): New type method.
* src/compiler/array-tran.lisp (make-string): Remove a spurious quote.
* src/compiler/array-tran.lisp (make-string): Change the def-source-transform to a deftransform to ensure argument evaluation order.
Port over SBCL's fix for the Entomotomy bug array-element-type-treated-as-declaration wherein the compiler believes type declarations on array elements without checking them, e.g. (DECLAIM (OPTIMIZE (SAFETY 3) (SPEED 1) (SPACE 1))) (DEFSTRUCT FOO A B) (DEFUN BAR (X) (DECLARE (TYPE (SIMPLE-ARRAY CONS 1) X)) (WHEN (CONSP (AREF X 0)) (PRINT (AREF X 0)))) (BAR (VECTOR (MAKE-FOO :A 11 :B 12))) prints a structure out. This patch makes the compiler use the specialized (upgraded) element type instead of the declared element type for aref.
Reworking of the values-type system to overcome a number of inconsistencies causing problems: o Redefine coerce-to-values to convert a single value type into (values type), rather than the former definition (values type &rest t). A single value type such as fixnum is now equivalent to (values fixnum). Values-type-union and values-type-intersection will canonicalise values types with a single value such as (values fixnum) back to a single value type such as fixnum. o Now when the compiler makes assertions for the first value of continuations that may be generating multiple values it asserts the type as (values type &rest t), or as (value &optional type &rest t) if it is not sure that the continuation does generate a value. o Enhance the type check generation to better handle the now common values types with optional and rest arguments. Add the new function Values-types-asserted which converts asserted optional and rest arguments to required arguments that have been proven to be delivered, Thus an assertion such as (values &optional fixnum &rest t) will generate a fixnum type check if the proven type if (values t). o The compiler is now far more likely to pickup attempts to use an assertion to select a subset of values. For example (the (values fixnum) (values x y)) will generated a compiler warning. o Update single values type assertions where appropriate to clarify that the received values may be optional or that multiple values may be received. For example, a macro argument which had been asserted to be a list via (the list ,...) would now be asserted to be (the (values &optional list &rest t)) etc. o Have the IR1 translator for THE convert single value types into (values &optional type &rest t) so that code such as (the fixnum (values x y)) will still work acceptably. This does not restrict the possible type assertions as the values types may be used and are not modified.
The complex-float and signed-array features are now standard, so remove unnecessary conditionals.
Long-float support.
Have the aref derive-type optimizer check for exactly one node continuation use before asserting the type.
ANSI CL compat. changes: o Add an optional environment argument to constantp; ignored by CMUCL. o Add the :element-type keyword to make-string.
The aref derive type optimiser should have been returning the upgraded element type rather than a possibly more specific declared element type. When there is only a single use of the continuation the type is also asserted to be the declared element type. This can pickup errors such as reading an uninitialised element type is not of the declared type.
Generate a compiler note if the default initial element for make-array is not a subtype of the element-type. According to ANSI CL the result of accessing uninitialised elements is undefined, and currently in CMUCL it can cause problems not detect in safe code when the default element not a subtype of the element-type - at least a compiler note is generated now.
Improved support for (complex single-float) and (complex double-float) types. Adds storage classes to the backend for these so they can be stored in registers or on the stack without consing; new primitive types etc. Also adds (simple-array (complex {single,double}-float)) array types to avoid consing and speed vectors operations. All these changes are conditional on the :complex-float feature. More work is needed to exploit these changes: improving the type dispatch in the various function; maybe compiler transforms or more VOPs to handle common functions inline.
Add a source transform for array-header-p to handle some cases in which the result can be determined from the argument type. This stops compiler warning messages produced by the with-array-data macro when the array is known not to be a subtype of (simple-array * (*)).
Support for some specialised signed array types: (signed-byte 8), (signed-byte 16), (signed-byte 30), (signed-byte 32). These patches include the general support and the x86 backend support; more to follow. The important changes are conditional on the :signed-array feature so shouldn't affect the source without this feature. This work has been driven by Raymond Toy.
Fix headed boilerplate.
Fix compiler warnings.
Changed *byte-compiling* to (byte-compiling), since during IR1 conversion we're not sure yet.
Update transforms to inhibit ones which pessimize byte code.
Quoted arg/result types in :EVAL-NAME DEFTRANSFORMs.
When converting MAKE-STRING into a MAKE-ARRAY, wrap the length with (the index ...) so that MAKE-ARRAY can tell that it's a vector.
Changed BASE-CHARACTER to BASE-CHAR
Fixed the make-array derive type optimizer to only spec the dimensions if the created array is known to be simple. Otherwise, someone might adjust it, which would cause the type to be wrong.
Added derive-type method for %WITH-ARRAY-DATA
New file header with RCS stuff.
Fixed bit-array canonicalizing for the T case to have the right type.
Added transforms to canonicalize the result arg to bit-vector ops. Added transform for VECTOR-LENGTH that returns the constant result when the type has specified dimensions.
Changed the make-array transform to simplify the nwords computation as much as possible instead of relying on (nonexistent) optimizers to simpilfy it later down the line. Also fixed a spelling error.
The make-string source transform was quoting the initial element, even if it wasn't a constant. Ooops.
Forgot to call length on the indices &rest arg in the aref derive-type optimizer.
Ack, more typos.

Business continuity solutions help protect your critical data and applications, while helping to reduce planned downtime and speed recovery in case of an outage.
Your business runs on IT. If your infrastructure goes down, so does your business. But implementing a reliable business continuity strategy can be time-consuming and expensive, requiring redundant infrastructure, complex planning, and expensive proprietary solutions. Because of this, many companies simply don't have actionable business continuity plans to protect their critical data and applications. Microsoft provides a variety of options for protecting both.
System Center's Data Protection Manager protects your Microsoft workloads through its network backup architecture. You can use Microsoft Azure Backup for reliable offsite data protection, either alone in small environments or integrated with the System Center Data Protection Manager component in larger ones.
Microsoft's StorSimple hybrid cloud storage solution also offers data protection through its cloud snapshot integration with Microsoft Azure.
A variety of options can help reduce or eliminate planned and unplanned downtime for your applications, including traditional Windows Server Failover Clustering, Hyper-V live migration, and Hyper-V Replica. These capabilities can help maintain service availability and recover quickly from hardware failures.
Microsoft Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager now provides centralized coordination of workload replication, health monitoring, and orchestrated recovery between customer datacenters.

Frequent hotel guests are used to hearing concierges say something along the lines of, "anything we can do to make your stay better, don't hesitate to ask," but according to a new survey, some guests take that too literally. Employees at British Best Western hotels were given a list of the strangest guest requests, and a patron who asked for a ferret so he wouldn't attend a party alone topped the list.
Other notable mentions included, "a room with a sea view" -- some 107 miles from the nearest shoreline -- an extra bed for a doll, and a ghost to keep the guest company, according to the U.K. website Metro.

Block or remove pages using a robots.txt file
A robots.txt file restricts access to your site by search engine robots that crawl the web. These bots are automated, and before they access pages of a site, they check to see if a robots.txt file exists that prevents them from accessing certain pages. (All respectable robots will respect the directives in a robots.txt file, although some may interpret them differently. However, a robots.txt is not enforceable, and some spammers and other troublemakers may ignore it. For this reason, we recommend password protecting confidential information.)
To see which URLs Google has been blocked from crawling, visit the Blocked URLs page of the Crawl section of Webmaster Tools.
You need a robots.txt file only if your site includes content that you don't want search engines to index. If you want search engines to index everything in your site, you don't need a robots.txt file (not even an empty one).
While Google won't crawl or index the content of pages blocked by robots.txt, we may still index the URLs if we find them on other pages on the web. As a result, the URL of the page and, potentially, other publicly available information such as anchor text in links to the site, or the title from the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.org), can appear in Google search results.
In order to use a robots.txt file, you'll need to have access to the root of your domain (if you're not sure, check with your web hoster). If you don't have access to the root of a domain, you can restrict access using the robots meta tag.
Create a robots.txt file
The simplest robots.txt file uses two rules:
- User-agent: the robot the following rule applies to
- Disallow: the URL you want to block
These two lines are considered a single entry in the file. You can include as many entries as you want. You can include multiple Disallow lines and multiple user-agents in one entry.
Each section in the robots.txt file is separate and does not build upon previous sections. For example:
User-agent: * Disallow: /folder1/ User-Agent: Googlebot Disallow: /folder2/
In this example only the URLs matching /folder2/ would be disallowed for Googlebot.
User-agents and bots
A user-agent is a specific search engine robot. The Web Robots Database lists many common bots. You can set an entry to apply to a specific bot (by listing the name) or you can set it to apply to all bots (by listing an asterisk). An entry that applies to all bots looks like this:
User-agent: *
Google uses several different bots (user-agents). The bot we use for our web search is Googlebot. Our other bots like Googlebot-Mobile and Googlebot-Image follow rules you set up for Googlebot, but you can set up specific rules for these specific bots as well.
Blocking user-agents
The Disallow line lists the pages you want to block. You can list a specific URL or a pattern. The entry should begin with a forward slash (/).
- To block the entire site, use a forward slash.
Disallow: /
- To block a directory and everything in it, follow the directory name with a forward slash.
Disallow: /junk-directory/
- To block a page, list the page.
Disallow: /private_file.html
- To remove a specific image from Google Images, add the following:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image Disallow: /images/dogs.jpg
- To remove all images on your site from Google Images:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image Disallow: /
- To block files of a specific file type (for example, .gif), use the following:
User-agent: Googlebot Disallow: /*.gif$
- To prevent pages on your site from being crawled, while still displaying AdSense ads on those pages, disallow all bots other than Mediapartners-Google. This keeps the pages from appearing in search results, but allows the Mediapartners-Google robot to analyze the pages to determine the ads to show. The Mediapartners-Google robot doesn't share pages with the other Google user-agents. For example:
User-agent: * Disallow: / User-agent: Mediapartners-Google Allow: /
Note that directives are case-sensitive. For instance,
Disallow: /junk_file.asp would block http://www.example.com/junk_file.asp, but would allow http://www.example.com/Junk_file.asp. Googlebot will ignore white-space (in particular empty lines)and unknown directives in the robots.txt.
Googlebot supports submission of Sitemap files through the robots.txt file.
Pattern matching
Googlebot (but not all search engines) respects some pattern matching.
- To match a sequence of characters, use an asterisk (*). For instance, to block access to all subdirectories that begin with private:
User-agent: Googlebot Disallow: /private*/
- To block access to all URLs that include a question mark (?) (more specifically, any URL that begins with your domain name, followed by any string, followed by a question mark, followed by any string):
User-agent: Googlebot Disallow: /*?
- To specify matching the end of a URL, use $. For instance, to block any URLs that end with .xls:

Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.19!!

Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.19!!
Northern Iowa receiver Terrell Sinkfield reportedly ran the 40-yard dash in 4.19 seconds at a pro day held Monday at the University of Minnesota.
The blazing time came in his second attempt at the 40 and was so fast that he was asked to run a third time, something none of the other prospects who participated in the pro day was asked to do, according to FoxSportsNorth.com.
Running Away With It
Amid reports that N. Iowa WR Terrell Sinkfield ran a 4.1 40-yard dash, we take a look at the fastest official 40 times at the NFL combine since 2006.
Time (seconds)
Chris Johnson
Marquise Goodwin
(Texas, 2013) 4.27
Jacoby Ford
(Clemson, 2010) 4.28
DeMarcus Van Dyke
(Miami, 2011) 4.28
Yamon Figurs
(Kansas State, 2007) 4.30
Darrius Heyward-Bey
Maryland, 2009) 4.30
-- NFL.com
Sinkfield reportedly stumbled on the third attempt but still ran a 4.44.
"I knew it was good when I finished," Sinkfield told the website of his 4.19 time. "I was pretty happy, so I came back. I thought I messed up when they said go again. I'm like, 'Dang, why do I have to run again?' "
Sinkfield reportedly ran 4.27 in his first attempt for an average of 4.3 on the three runs.
"I was trying to shoot for a 4.19. I knew it was good when I finished," Sinkfield told The (St. Paul) Pioneer Press. "The fastest I've done [before Monday] was 4.2. I was running 4.3s in high school."
Scott Studwell, the Minnesota Vikings' director of college scouting, however, told The Pioneer Press that he didn't have any times under 4.3 for Sinkfield.
"He ran in the high 4.3s. He can run. He ran fast. He tested well," he told the newspaper.
The scouting combine record time in the 40 is the 4.24 run by Chris Johnson at the 2008 event.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Using the 40 yard dash as a method of comparison against Usain Bolt would probably be kind of tricky and not a very reliable method of comparison to Bolt's true sprinting ability, because by far the weakest portion of Bolt's overall 100m run is the beginning section of it. As in, Bolt is actually only just average or even below average (well... against world class competition that is) in the first 10 or 20 meters or so of his 100m dash. It is only around the 30ish meter mark that bolt starts to gain on, then pass, and then pull away from his competition. So, although Bolt would probably have a very good 40 yard ash time, it wouldn't be as good as it "should be" for a 9.5 100m guy if he were a start-emphasis sprinters instead of a second-half-emphasis sprinter which is what he really is.
That said, in the 60m (which is, very importantly, considerably longer than the 40 yard dash), Bolt would be the current world record holder if one used his 60m split time from his 100m WR run. If I remember correctly, he had a 60m split time of 6.36 seconds (the current world record in the actual indoor 60m dash is 6.39 seconds by Maurice Greene). And that was with Bolt not even doing it as a 60m race, but as a 100m race, meaning he wasn't trying to lean through the tape/focus on the 60m mark as his finnish line, so really he was probably capable of even a few hundredths faster than that, probably around a 6.33-6.34 or something if he really wanted it.
As for the 40 yard dash, it is just a little too short for Bolt to really exploit his edge, which basically just BEGINS right when that race ENDS, so, I'm not even so sure he would be the world record holder in the 40 yard dash if it was an actual IAAF official track and field olympic event. Personally, I think Asafa Powell in his prime probably would've been the fastest 40 yard dasher of all time. Asafa was notorious for having an ABSURDLY fast first-half in his 100m dashes, and a relatively weak second-half, by comparison. Like, he would often take out a massive lead in the first half of the race, and be way out several meters ahead of the whole field by the halfway mark, and then the field gained back some of the ground on him in the second half of his races usually, since he was more of a super great acceleration, not so great top-end-speed type of sprinter, as far as his overall strengths/weaknesses (relative to himself I mean).
I would guess that Asafa Powell in his prime probably would've run around a 4.00-4.05 or so in the 40 yard dash if it was electronically timed and with reaction time not included in it. Bolt would probably be more like 4.10-4.15ish, or maybe even just a measly (lol, measly in the relative sense I mean) 4.20ish, even tho in the 100m he is considerably faster than Powell, in the 40, I think Powell (in his prime) would've had the edge.
These are just my rough guesses though, obviously I could be way off.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
This was also almost certainly one coach's hand timed mark.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
It was my impression that they had improved their procedures considerably, although maybe this is not the official combine testing.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
This was just a pro day. I doubt they have FAT at a pro day. I think Reggie Bush may have, but he ran his on a track at USC.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
At the very beginning of the post it says that it was done at the Pro Day at University of Minnesota. Not the NFL combine. Thus who knows if it was timed legit-style or if it was just some silly hand-timed mark. It is true though that the NFL combine method has improved drastically and is now very accurate, as it is no longer hand-timed, and in addition to that they even go back over it with a high speed camera or something to correct it even urther to make it super official/accurate or something.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
If you watch the linked video, you'll see a pair of pylons marking the start, and a guy with a stopwatch at the end. Most definitely not FAT. Why are these football "times" even given the light of day on this board?
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Come on.
Pro Day 40 times are almost always a minimum of a tenth faster than those posted at the combine and not taken seriously even by NFL standards.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
The scout stating he had him at only 4.3 gives it away that it's hand timed.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Wake me when someone runs a 4.36 FAT like Bolt can.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
This is why no one puts much stock in times run at pro days. Anyone can drop a bomb at their school's pro day.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
I'll bet the Chris Johnson of 2008 vintage who ran 4.24 with football cleats (not track spikes), without starting blocks, without a tailwind and on field turf (not Mondo), could run a 4.36 FAT. In 2008, Richard Thompson led Bolt through 40 yards in Beijing, and Thompson always trailed Trindon Holliday through 40 yards when they raced each other during their collegegiate careers.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Chris Johnson is the beneficiary of a completely flawed timing system that has convinced people who are not willing to be realistic and/or intellectually honest to make a comparison that would be impossible to make. the 4.24 that Johnson supposedly ran could just as well be 4.27 or even 4.37 - we don't know; the "auto" system used in the combine is not accurate. The system is not triggered; it's just a man "eye-balling" when someone first moved. Is someone really trying to compare that to a system where the gun is rigged to the starting mechanism and the blocks are too - as well as a "eye" at the finish line?
Unless we use a new definition of "always", here is an example below where Thompson is clearly leading Holliday at 40 yards
one other thing: at the 2009 WC in Berlin Usain Bolt ran 2.89 in both his semi and final for the first 20m (by 40m he had picked up an additional .06) while reacting in .135 and .146, respectively; Richard Thompson was 2.92 and 2.90 on reaction times of .132 and .119, respectively. Trying to say that Johnson is "faster" than Bolt even though Johnson never raced Holliday who DID NOT always beat Thompson (proved above) who was easily beaten to 20m by Usain Bolt in Berlin despite Thompson having a better reaction time in Berlin is ...
If you stop the tape at approximately 4.1 you will see that Richard Thompson did not lead Bolt at 40 yards - and that was with Bolt giving away .03s+ in reaction time (Bolt, .165; Thompson, .133).
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
I bet he could too . . . if it was short-course, downhill, wind-aided, 2000m altitude aided.
Otherwise, fuggedabowdit.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
I've already conceded that the NFL Combine's current FAT system is not as precise as track and field's FAT system, but wIth all due respect, you lose any credibility with me when you say that Johnson may have only run 4.37. Either you aren't familiar with the current system or you're being deliberately dishonest to say this. By the way, not only does the NFL Network routinely superimpose 40-yard videos of different players during the course of the combine, but they've also on occasion superimposed the videos of players from different years. And before you ask, yes, I have seen the Johnson video superimposed which further convinced me that he was faster than Holliday, Jacoby Ford and anyone else who has run over the last eight years.
I plead guilty to a little hyperbole. I should have said "usually" instead of "always", but even the video that you linked only shows Thompson even with Holliday at 40 yards, not ahead. This video was more the rule rather than the exception of their college races:
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
nfl network superimposed Steve Williams of Cal over Goodwin and he was right on Goodwin and ahead of a few guys who were "officially" listed ahead of Williams, and then they announce the official times he was something like the 8th guy with a 4.4x -even Eisen and Sanders were questioning it. Eisen demanded that they go to a fully automatic timing system because it made him doubt all of the timing. Also, I've never seen the Johnson dartfish over any of the other guys so i will reserve an opinion on that until i do. Anyway, you conceded hyperbole so I won't belabor the point but gh once pointed out how Thompson seemed to peak for championships and was rather average on the circuit and before. I don't bring this up to modify your point -clearly Holliday was a very good starter- however at the Olympics, Thompson was the best he'd ever been to run 9.89 in negative wind.
I still am not convinced that Johnson is any faster than ford (4.28/6.52) or Goodwin (4.27/6.69 -'10) and that's because I just can't place value on a human determining accurately when each guy is starting over different years and thousands of attempts. I think at least a variance of +/- .04 is fair. That doesn't mean he's not faster, but it also, in my mind, doesn't mean he is. And when i consider that Bolt is .2 faster than Ford and the fact that Bolt added .06 from 20m to 40m on Richard Thompson it tells me that though all of those guys could probably beat Bolt if he ran poorly...none of them could beat him if he ran at his best. Goodwin being "behind" Johnson by .03 also shakes any faith i had in a Johnson.
All that said, I fervently believe that if nfl football didn't exist and track and field in the USA was as much of a "goto" sport in the USA as it is in Jamaica that the USA would probably have no less than 10 guys under 9.70 - assuming they had the coaching. That doesn't mean that any would be faster than Usain Bolt, but I don't rule it out either.
One last thing: that "4.19" reported at the Northern Iowa pro day was the slowest sub-4.3 I've ever seen. I just can't believe that was a 4.19 even by hand timed standards.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
I thought I heard that it was the player's agent that got the 4.19. That should cast further doubt on things.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Actually there was a still wind for that race.
Ford actually ran 6.51 twice in 2009, and based on my own personal experience with the stopwatch, I don't think Mark Gorscak is as inconsistent with the stopwatch as you do. At worst he has a variance of +/-0.02 for a 0.04s range of error IMO. However, I'm willing to concede that a +/-0.04 variance is at least plausible but not the +/-0.13 variance that you suggested in your earlier post.
At what distance are you suggesting that Bolt is 0.2s faster than Ford? My math tells me that he's more than 0.2s faster at 100 meters, less than 0.2s faster than 60 meters and perhaps dead even with Ford at 40 yards.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
lets assume that Ford was a 9.98 (he ran 10.01), that would mean that in 2009, Usain Bolt was .4 better than him at 100m. IAAF and wikipedia have Ford at 6.52 for 60m, but let's use the 6.51 that you said he ran twice. Well, if you follow the link below you will see that Usain Bolt, on the way to 100m at the 2009 IAAF Champs in Berlin, ran 6.41 in the semi and 6.31 in the final. That would be a difference of .2 for 60m. Now, at those same championships, Richard Thompson ran 6.45 through 60m in the final; but it still put him .14 behind Usain - at 60m (that's still less than Bolt's semi time when he was running just to qualify). From 40m to 60m, Usain Bolt doubled his .07s lead at 40m on Richard Thompson to .14s - a difference of .07s. At 40m, Usain was .06 AHEAD of Gay, .07s ahead of Thompson and Powell, .09 ahead of Bailey and .11 ahead of Chambers. That's at 40m which is only 3.5m longer than 40 yards. Now, I do believe that Ford, Johnson and even Goodwin have world class speed but I just don't believe that your example FORD would have been "dead even" with Usain at 40 yards when Usain was .06s ahead of EVERYBODY at 40m. Ford would have to be FASTER than Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell, Daniel Bailey, Richard Thompson and Dwain Chambers at 40m. Are you prepared to say that?
Also, Bolt had the slowest reaction time in Berlin of the top 6. Which means that he ran PAST all those guys to be first to 20m (Bolt, 2.89s; Thompson, 2.90s; Powell, 2.91s; Bailey & Gay, 2.92s; Chambers, 2.93s). From 20m to 40m Bolt was 1.75s; Gay, 1.78s; Powell, 1.80s; Bailey and Thompson, 1.81s; Chambers, 1.82s. Bolt ran away -increased his lead- from everyone, on every 20m segment of that 100m. He increased his lead over Gay by .03s, Powell by .05s and Bailey and Thompson by .06s in just 21.8 yards (distance from 20m to 40m) after the initial 20m.
We're using Ford, but when we consider that Goodwin is a hair, .01s, ahead of Ford on the combine list, do you really think it matters? Now use Johnson. Assuming Johnson was AS fast as Tyson Gay to 20m or even Thompson and Powell, Bolt would have run away from him. For me to consider Johnson, Goodwin, Ford or any of the apocryphal times of Sanders, Jackson, et.al to be even competitive with Bolt they would have to be a minimum of a .10 faster; faster than Powell, Gay, Bailey and Thompson(and using IAAF FAT )
http://berlin.iaaf.org/mm/document/deve ... _13529.pdf
According to this paper below, Usain was about the same to 40 yards in both berlin and Beijing
http://www.ccite.org/Analysing%20men%20 ... oGebra.pdf
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
I appreciate your analysis but you're overlooking one thing - the 2009 IAAF men's 100 final was run with a tailwind while Ford's 6.51's and the NFL Combine 40's were run with no wind. Furthermore, the Berlin track was likely faster than the tracks where Ford ran 6.51 and I know for a fact that it is much faster than the field turf in Indianapolis. By the way, I'm certain of Ford's 6.51 credentials since I witnessed one of them in person. Here's the link to the IAAF's 2009 men's indoor 60 list that I'm using for my information:
http://www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/sp ... enior/2009
I know that you feel that the NFL's SAT timing system is less precise than I do, so here are a couple of questions for you:
2) If Mark Gorsack is as imprecise with the start button as you believe, why have only four 4.2's been produced in the last eight years from over 2500 football players, half of whom were skill players who spent nearly two months preparing for the combine?
I agree with you about Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, Randy Moss and all of the other guys who supposedly ran other-worldly 40's back in the day. Sanders and Moss are probably 4.3 guys with today's timing system and Jackson is probably a 4.4 guy. As was pointed out earlier in this thread, the hand times are almost always a minimum of 0.1s slower than the NFL Combine's SAT time and often 0.2s slower.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
I wasn't saying that I doubted you on the 6.51, only that I overlooked it on the IAAF and wiki pages. Anyway, the link that you've provided is proof of 6.51. Also, you're right, Berlin did have a tailwind (though Beijing did not and Bolt's time to 40m was reported to be identical in both races (3.78); and I believe that because i was there for both). However, I'm not sure the track was faster in Beijing (Mondo) or Berlin (something like Rekortan). Blacksburg is Mondo and HARD. No disagreement on Indy being slower than Mondo.
1. I'm not sure if I understand your question but i think Johnson compares favorably to the others over 40. Maybe he's faster, maybe he isn't; but I'm not prepared to make that determination based upon a difference of .03 semi-automatic clocking at the combine.
2. I can only guess why there have been only four 4.2's but if I had to i would say onw reason is because it's semi-auto timing. It's easy to say someone runs a 4.1 or 4.2 until you control the conditions AND the clock (fewer itchy fingered agents, coaches, parents, etc). Also, when a Holliday or ford or any of these guys are preparing for the combine they aren't just preparing for the 40; they're also preparing for vertical leap, 3-cone, bench press, etc and the guys who are "fast" probably (remember you asked me so I have to guess because I can't possibly know) work on their other perceived weaknesses and go to the 40 "confident". (But my point is look at someone like Goodwin who was fast, was a football player but did NOT have the "speed" of Ford or Holliday or Scott and a few other ex-tracksters until the combines. Sometimes it's your day, sometimes it ain't or maybe we should be training goodwin to be the next Tyson Gay replacement.)
Another thing. Some very good "skilled players" just aren't nearly as fast with pads off. Michael Irvin was a 4.7 combine guy but I never saw people run him down (bringing him down was another story); chris carter was a 4.7/8 guy and he's a hall of famer; Jerry Rice was average and blew by some of the best corners; Emmitt Smith, hall of famer, was a 4.7 guy. My point is that max rapid acceleration is a skill so rare (though it can be taught) that few in football can duplicate it easy. I watched Raghib Ismael demolish top sprint talent to about 40yds at the Penn Relays only to have the field rush by him. He knew how to start; somepeople do and Chris Johnson is one of those people - Goodwin is also one of those people.
I consider myself VERY SKILLED with a stopwatch (as do most of us on this board, I'm sure) and i can readily admit that I could easily miss by .03 (the mid point between my .04 and your .02); that would make Johnson equal to Goodwin (or another .03 faster, who knows). If the combines were track and field the 40 would be expressed as 4.2 and there wouldn't be a digit to the hundredths. That would make Johnson, Goodwin, and Ford equal.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Here's the bottom line on football players vs. track athletes.
There are zero fb players that can run a 40y FAT track race, in spikes, out of the blocks, on Mondo, and beat Bolt or Blake or Gay or Gatlin, when those guys are in top shape. But . . . if you took some of the best fb types and gave them track-specific training (block starts, clearance, drive, etc.) for a couple of months, there ARE some that could hang with the best T&F guys . . . for 40 yards . . . but not even 60m, much less 100m, without A LOT more training, if at all.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
1) Not only is this byperbole, but it's demonstrably false, when you start throwing out names like Gatlin and Gay. For example, in 2007, the best year of Gay's career, Trindon Holliday lead Gay through 60 meters at the USATF Outdoor Championships. Keep in mind that Holliday was still two years away from his peak form, and that he's not even in the top ten football players at the combine over the last eight years. As for Gatlin, he's not known for being a great starter either.
2) The 40 has never been run on Mondo, with spikes and starting blocks, so we're talking about two totally different hypothetical scenarios. FYI, a few years Wallace Spearmon went out to run the 40 Arkansas' pro day with spikes and they wouldn't let him run until he came back with cleats.
I agree with this, especially about the 100. The 40 and the 100 are probably as different as the 200 and the 400.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Thanks for making my point. Holliday IS a trained track athlete. Just because Bob Hayes played football does NOT make him any less a track guy.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Actually, he did NOT make your point. Chris Johnson (you generalized a bottom line of football players v tracksters and jazz just gave an example, not the definitive example; he used Holliday because though trained...he's not as trained as Gay) is not a "trained" track guy and he's got the fastest combine 40 of all. I also wouldn't be surprised if he was ahead or right there with Ford, Goodwin or Holliday for 60m. He's that good (but Bolt, territory? no way)
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
The fact that he's a trained sprinter is irrelevant regarding your previous comment:
Is Holliday not a football player? And even if you had qualified your statement by using the phrase "fb players without elite track backgrounds" instead of "fb players", are there not other football players, some of whom are not trained sprinters, who are faster than Holliday at 40 yards? Chris Johnson, who has no elite track background, is 0.1s faster than Holliday at 40 yards, and I think 0.1s is outside the margin of error of the NFL's imperfect SAT timing system.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
My sense is that Johnson, who weighed in at 195 when he ran at the combine, would have to lose some weight and do some track specific training to compete with those guys at 60. I don't know about Ford and Goodwin, but Holliday did a lot of overdistance training when he was at LSU in order to help him maintain over the second part of the race, especially outdoor. Even Johnson, who has challenged Bolt to a 40-yard race, admits that he doesn't want any parts of Bolt at 60 meters. If you look at most elite 100 races, there's not usually much separation of the field over the first 30 meters, but over the last 60 to 70 meters is when the cream rises to the top.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Irrelevant? Not at all. Holliday is a HIGHLY trained track athlete. My point has always been that untrained (for track) fb players are not as fast as the very best track sprinters. They COULD be, if trained, but they're not. Running with a Bolt (or Blake), even for 40y, requires a skill set, not just talent.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
your point is wrong; jazz is right. Only the elite of the elite of track and field sprinters could beat the top 3 or 4 football players. it would be a toss up with the next tier. unless, suddenly, 6.51 ability is no longer elite?
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Generally speaking, I agree with you which explains why three of the four 4.2 guys over the last eight years have at least a college track background, but one of the four, Chris Johnson, does not. How do you explain him?
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
As I said before, when he runs a legit 40 (FAT), I'll believe it (not that I don't think he isn't really quick - he is). Football 40s are not a legit criterion. HIs time there, vis-a-vis tracksters, are because THAT IS his milieu (turf and cleats, 3-point stance). But the times run there are virtually meaningless compared to what Bolt is running FAT.
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
Now you're creating straw men. The whole thread is about football 40's, not track 60's and 100's. No one is arguing that Johnson is faster than elite sprinters in an IAAF sanction event, I'm talking about NFL sanctioned 40-yard dashes. Here are the incontrovertible facts:
2) Johnson was faster than Holliday at 40 yards at the NFL Combine by an amount outside the margin of error.
Conclusion: In 2008, Johnson was faster than Gay in the football 40 (field turf, football cleats, no starting blocks).
Re: Look out Usain Bolt..Terrell Sinkfield 40 yard Record 4.
In what YOU thought YOU were arguing. My point has always been the same and, since you have no data on a Chris Johnson FAT 40, unassailable. You can argue it all day long, but I remain unconvinced without actual pertinent data (F40s not being such).
