Notebook: Dufner's first ace on TOUR; players battle heatOctober 27, 2012
Chris Reimer, PGA TOUR Staff
Weather: Mostly sunny and humid, with the high reaching 94 and heat index at more than 105. Winds W-SW 4-8 MPH.
Due to the threat of inclement weather on Friday and Saturday, tee times were moved up 30 minutes, with the first group teeing off at 7:10 and the leaders at 11 a.m. Tee times will continue with this same schedule for Sunday's final round.
Bo Van Pelt 70-65-62=197 (-16)
Defending champion Van Pelt has gone lower with each round this week, from a 70 (-1) in round one (his highest round of seven career attempts), to a 65 (-6) in round two to a tournament-record-tying 62 (-9) today that moved him to the top of the leaderboard, tied with Robert Garrigus. Van Pelt double-bogeyed the 18th hole. A birdie would have given him a 59 (-12).
His third round included a 29 (-6) on the front nine, which ties for his second-lowest in a PGA TOUR sanctioned event (although the CIMB Classic is an unofficial TOUR event until next year). Van Pelt carded a 28 during the first round of the 2008 Mayakoba Classic and a 29 during the third round of the 2011 RBC Canadian Open.
Van Pelt made 11 birdies (and one double-bogey) in round three. His previous career-best birdie total for 18 holes was nine -- which he has done five times, most recently during the first round of the 2008 Puerto Rico Open
A year ago, Van Pelt won the inaugural CIMB Classic with rounds of 66-64-67-64. His scoring average at the Mines Resort and Golf Club now stands at 65.428.
Van Pelt's 16-under-par total ties the low 54-hole score at the CIMB Classic, set by Van Pelt and Ben Crane in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Van Pelt is making the most of his first title defense. His other win on the PGA TOUR came at the 2009 US Bank Championship in Milwaukee in the event's last year on the schedule. He won the 2003 Omaha Classic on the Web.com Tour, but graduated to the PGA TOUR the following year and thus did not return to defend his title.
Van Pelt won last week at the ISPS HANDA Perth International.
Van Pelt returns to defend his CIMB Classic title on the heels of perhaps his best season on the PGA TOUR after posting 10 top 10s in 24 starts and finishing a career-best No. 22 in the FedExCup standings. Among Van Pelt's 10 top 10s was a runner-up finish to Tiger Woods at the AT&T National in July and a pair of T10s at the BMW Championship in his home state of Indiana and the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Van Pelt claimed the 2011 CIMB Classic in convincing fashion, posting a four-day total of 23-under-par 261, good for a six-shot victory over Jeff Overton.
Van Pelt has led entering the final round four previous times on the PGA TOUR, the most recent at the 2011 RBC Canadian Open where he finished T6. He has never won an event when leading or being tied for the lead after 54 holes.
Robert Garrigus 64-64-69=197 (-16)
Second-round leader Garrigus, making his first CIMB Classic start, quickly gave up his two-stroke lead by making bogey on the first and second holes to start the third round. He bounced back, however, and carded a 2-under-par 69 to enter the final round tied for the lead.
Garrigus has one victory on the PGA TOUR, the 2010 Children's Miracle Network Classic at Walt Disney World. He was five shots off the lead entering the final round and shot 64 (-8) to win. Garrigus has six runner-up finishes, including three this season.
Garrigus is looking to cap off a strong 2012 campaign in which he posted seven top-10 finishes on the PGA TOUR, including a runner-up finish at the Transitions Championship, where he lost in a playoff to Luke Donald, and a T2 at the RBC Canadian Open. Garrigus finished No. 23 in the FedExCup.
Garrigus has held or shared the 54-hole lead three previous times on the PGA TOUR, the last of which came at this year's 2012 RBC Canadian Open. He finished all three events in 2nd.
Chris Kirk 69-66-63=198 (-15)
Kirk, who finished T13 at the 2011 CIMB Classic, posted five birdies on the front nine en route to a 30 (-5), then went bogey free again on the back to move into contention with a 63. His career-low round on the PGA TOUR is a 63, which he has recorded four times, most recently at the 2012 Deutsche Bank Championship.
Kirk owns one PGA TOUR victory -- the 2011 Viking Classic, which he led heading into the final round. Kirk has been within one shot of the leader heading into the final round once before in his career: at the 2011 Shell Houston Open he was one shot back after 54 holes. He shot 67 (-5) and finished T2.
Brendon de Jonge 68-65-66=199 (-14)
de Jonge returns to the CIMB Classic one year after a T31 in 2011. In 28 starts on the PGA TOUR in 2012, de Jonge made 24 cuts and posted two top 10s with his best result a T8 at the Travelers Championship in July. In search of his first PGA TOUR victory, the native of Zimbabwe has come close with three third-place performances in his PGA TOUR career, all coming in 2010 at the Puerto Rico Open, The Greenbrier Classic and the Viking Classic.
De Jonge led through three rounds at this year's AT&T National, but finished T11.
Jbe Kruger 66-64-69=199 (-14)
South African Jbe Kruger, playing in the final group, shot a third-round 69 and is two stroked behind heading into the final round at the CIMB Classic. Kruger gained entry into the co-sanctioned event by virtue of his No. 3 position on the Asian Tour Order of Merit. Kruger won the Avantha Masters this year for his first victory on the Asian Tour.
This is Kruger's second appearance at the CIMB Classic. He finished T28 here last year.
Kruger's results at other PGA TOUR events include missing the cut at this year's British Open, a T57 at this year's World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship and a T23 at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions.
The best finish by a member of the Asian Tour at the CIMB Classic was a T5 by Mardan Mamat in 2010.
Miscellaneous Notes
Tiger Woods, in his first CIMB Classic appearance, moved up the leaderboard during the early part of the third round, thanks to a flawless 30 (-5) on the front nine at the Mines Resort and Golf Club. The 30 ties his lowest nine-hole score of the year (R1 -- British Open). Things took a turn for Woods, however, on the back nine with three bogeys and a double bogey. He enters the final round five shots back of Bo Van Pelt and Robert Garrigus.
Jason Dufner recorded his first hole-in-one in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event, holing out on the 201-yard 7th hole with a 5-iron during the third round.
Jeff Overton made eagle on No. 1, a 358-yard par 4. This is the 14th time he's posted an eagle on a par-4, most recently at the Puerto Rico Open in March.
Johnson Wagner carded a career-best 29 (-6) to start his third round. A 38, however, on the back nine gave him a solid -- yet no doubt disappointing -- 67 (-3) on the day.
India's Gaganjeet Bhullar got off to a great start in the third round, going 5-under par through 10 holes, including five consecutive 3s (No. 6-10). Gaganjeet is making his first CIMB Classic start. He finished with a bogey on 12 and a birdie on 15 to card a 65 (-6) and move into the top 10, just behind Jbe Kruger, who stands at T4.
Ben Crane, winner of the inaugural CIMB Classic, shot 66-67-68 and is T10 heading into the final round.
First-round leader Troy Matteson was bogey-free heading into the third round, and technically maintained that streak. However, he posted two double-bogeys on the front nine (No. 4 and 9).
40 players (out of 48) posted sub-par rounds Saturday.
Bogey-free rounds:
Round 1: Troy Matteson (63); Jeff Overton (64); Danny Chia (66); Kevin Na (67); Kevin Stadler (67)
Round 2: Greg Chalmers (66); Troy Matteson (69); Brendon De Jonge (65); Trevor Immelman (63); Anirban Lahiri (66)
Round 3: Chris Kirk; Greg Chalmers; Bill Haas; John Senden (66); Seung-Yul Noh (67); Marcus Fraser (65); Bob Estes (70);

Bucharest (Jun. 16)
"The anti-Semitic party is insignificant and plays a lesser role in the political life of Roumania than in many other countries," stated Prime Minister Maniu today to Morris D. Waldman, secretary of the American Jewish Committee, and Joseph Leftwich, London editor of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
"The satisfaction with which the Jews throughout the world have hailed the formation of the Maniu government was well grounded," the Prime Minister continued. "The Jews are justified in anticipating fair treatment. My government has done more to ensure the rights of the Jewish people than any previous government. There are now less manifestations of discrimination than previously.
"Compared to the position of the Jews before our government took office, their present status is a distinct improvement, and it is due not only to the government's actions but to the general opinion the government created that if there were excesses the government would act," said M. Maniu.
"The government, at the next session of parliament will submit a new citizenship law which will facilitate the nationalization of many thousands of Jews. It is the intention of the government to treat all minorities in accordance with law and the principle of equity.
"The government will consult all Jewish communities before proceeding further with the Jewish communities law," the Prime Minister stated.

The four remaining Republican presidential candidates responded to President Obama's State of the Union with strong statements casting him as an ineffective, divisive leader.
But in an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney gave some credit to President Obama in calling some of his ideas "interesting." But the praise stopped there and Romney said the American people "want someone who knows how to fix things; they want someone who knows how to get the economy going again."
On the same day Romney released his taxes, which shows he paid less than 14 percent in taxes on $21.7 million of income in 2010, he dismissed Mr. Obama's proposed "Buffett Rule" to require millionaires to pay at least a 30 percent tax rate, including on investment income.
"We need to encourage people to invest," Romney said.
The other three candidates released statements in response to the president's speech.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich wrote, "President Obama proposed nothing in the way of policy changes that will get us to robust job creation and dramatic economic growth. Instead, the president described his conviction that his big government is built to last and should be paid for with higher taxes."
Obama's speech: Full text | Full Video
Mitch Daniels:Full text | Full Video
Video: Analysis with the CBS News political team
Full coverage: State of the Union 2012
Gingrich continued: "Here we have to confront the truth about President Obama. Economic growth and prosperity is not really at the top of his agenda. He will always prefer a food stamp economy to a paycheck economy and call it fair."
Texas Representative Ron Paul said Mr. Obama "does not represent the fundamental change this country needs. Instead of offering solutions to the problems our country faces, the President was intent on delivering a campaign speech, further dealing in the typical Washington political gamesmanship that has gotten us exactly nowhere close to improving the lives of the American people."
He criticized the president for failing to mention the Federal Reserve, a key area of government Paul wants to alter. "Of course, President Obama refuses to even mention the role the Federal Reserve plays in creating an economic system where some are denied a fair shot or even to support my efforts at bringing transparency to the Federal Reserve," Paul said.
Paul continued to write: "In the area of foreign policy and civil liberties, President Obama's rhetoric may be different, but the substance of his polices - as shown by his administration's defense of the TSA's treatment of my son, Senator Rand Paul, is hardly 'change we can believe in.'
And former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum called President Obama a "Divider-in-Chief" and said he has failed to unify the country.
"The President declared war on those who are most successful in our society," Santorum said.
Santorum continued: "Tonight Barack Obama transformed the President's annual State of the Union address into the kick-off of his re-election campaign. From beginning to end, the American people heard more of the same - empty promises and grand platitudes that will do nothing to help the millions of Americans who are unemployed or under employed find a good paying job."

Dave's dad, Big Dave (guest star Michael McKean), is coming to town for a Cubs convention. This will be the first time Dave has seen his pop since he split with his mom. That's why it's quite a surprise when Big Dave shows up with a brand new girlfriend. Of course, the biggest shocker is the fact that his new lady love is Penny's mom, Dana (guest star Megan Mullally).
Penny is elated about this parental pairing. She immediately starts teasing her new little brother. But Dave isn't thrilled to see how Dana has changed his dad. Big Dave won't even try his son's latest steak sandwich creation because he's off red meat. Dave is also bummed to learn they'll be going to a holistic expo called Heal Chicago before they can play ball at the Cubs convention.
An angry Dave acts like a child. He even insults Heal Chicago's special guest Ed Begley, Jr. Dana wants him to sing out his angry thoughts. That's not gonna happen. Dave hides out in his old bedroom even though a new family lives there. Eventually, Dave comes around. He makes nice with his dad, though he still refuses to sing things out like they do in his faux big sister's family.
Alex is lonely, so she gets a parrot from Craiglist. His name is Tyler and he's a racist/homophobic little birdie. But the big news of the day is that suspicious middle-aged white guys are always going into Hop Sing's, the Chinese restaurant across the street. Alex, Max and Brad do a stakeout where they see lots of Asian women entering the place. They conclude that Hop Sing's is front for an illegal sex ring. Cool!
Alex, Max and Brad go undercover just like they do on The Wire. They eat lots of Chinese food until they see a guy they believe is there looking for sex. In reality, this suspicious middle-aged guy is just teaching an "English as a Second Language" class in the back room. This embarrassing incident spurs Max to admit that he's never actually seen The Wire.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by Wolf, Dec 8, 2004.
You're simply not being realistic if you think the Texans have improved offensively. They look like an unorganized circus on the field at times. The only player on offense that has shown improvement is A. Johnson.
i personally do think that we have continued to improve yearly, offensivly as well as defensivly, and id like to think that im an extremely realistic person. andre is still learning to beat double teams...thats improvement, david carr is really trying to sell the play action (looks funny at times) but thats improvment. the oline is learning a blocking scheme, and inconsistant at times , but it seems to improve running lanes for DD, and THAT is improvement. open your eyes and realize the glass isnt just half empty. sounds cliche but there is always something to learn from past games and i doubt the learning curve for our offense has regressed.
I would start to ask:What has Palmer to work with?
I think that the Gm has done quiet a good job to put this team together.
I believe that you can add some FA to an existent core of players, use an established system, and after that process is done, then any team in the league can skyrocket.
Imo the Texans don't have established their system and still need some players to complete the core unit. Some hangovers from the Expansion draft were used to fill in but aren't the best fit. You can do better and maximize your output by that. So i think, they hit the acheivable limit for this year. They have the potential to go up, but Stability isn't there. But the Texans have more stability than last year.
Saying that i doubt that Palmer could do better. The staff makes game plans, prepares the player and tries to realise that the mindset of all 53 members is focused and right.
If Palmer would have benched your best OL and because of that DD and Carr have no time and lanes, alright. Then go and question him, but with that Oline Material you need a better oline coach used to work small miracles or just some better play.
I think we'll know a lot more in about a week and half. If they beat Chicago, they'll look a lot more like a team that is improving. I don't have to tell anyone how much better they'll look if they actually manage to beat Indy.
I find it a little strange that Cowboys fans are talking about how great the Cowboys are doing after that win in Seattle and some of them are talking possible playoffs (NFC--go figure), while we're so upset with the Texans for getting stomped several times. Both teams have the same record. I understand the difference, but it's a little weird.
And coaches coach the game. If coaching didn't matter, I doubt owners would be handing out multi-million $ contracts to them. But they are, so I'm assuming that coaching does play a role in a team's successes & failures.
The best retort to the "Fire Palmer", "Fire Capers", "Dump Carr", etc. is:
It ain't gonna happen. Get over it.
I actually agree with every bit of the first post.
How is that not realistic? Like he said. there are 18 offenses that are worse than us. Yes, our offense isn't perfect. Is it Palmers fault that a) Carr locks onto one receiver before he throws? b) for some reason forgets that he has usually 4 or 5 options on a pass play but somehow it is just AJ and DD that gets it?
Problem I see is redzone offense needs improvement and if it is the coaching (and this sounds ironic given Capers stress for discipline) it is the mental mistakes that the offense makes. (i.e. penalties)
1. Can you possibly have a post with capitalization and paragraphs?
2. Both Dom Capers and Tom Coughlin have been to championship games. The Jaguars did it twice (under Coughlin), actually. It wouldn't be a stretch for them to get over the hump.
3. Why is it that so many people hate Coughlin? He has been a winner everywhere he has gone.
No you are simply bashing because you are disappointed. They looked like an unorganized circus a lot more last year.
Let's compare (1st number 2003, 2nd number 2004):
1st down's per game: 14.8 v. 19.3
3rd down %: 31% v. 39%
Total offense per game: 269 ypg v. 331 ypg
Plays per game: 56 ppg v. 63 ppg
Passing per game: 165 ypg v. 225 ypg
Time of poss: 27:39 v. 29:38
TD's per game: 1.8 v. 2.25
Yards rushing per game: 103 ypg v. 106 ypg
And Carr while not having a break out year has definitely improved:
Passing %: 56.6% (52.5% in 2002) v. 61.3%
Yards per attempt: 6.8 ypa (5.8 in 2002) v. 7.8 ypa
QB rating: 69.5 (62.8 in 2002) v. 84.1
Passes over 20 yards: 27 (36 in 2002) v. 48--yes for all you they don't throw down fielders, that is an average of 4 20+ yard completions, not attempts, per game this year.
And here are two big ones:
Punts per game: 6 v. 4
Points per game: 15.9 v. 19.7
Now folks can argue that they haven't seen as much improvement as they want, but the offense has definitely improved. Everyone wants to say the 2003 team was better --someone honestly say they would have ever seen the 2003 team come back from 21 pts in a shoot out with MN to tie the game or come back from 21-3 at halftime to win a game against anyone 31-21.
I usually dont get involved in this kinda thing, but here is my humble opinion.
I say have Dom coach the defense, fire Fangio and then hire a new head coach and keep Palmer to see if he can get the offense going while utilisng a 4 wideout scheme like he likes and has used in the past. Go ahead hit me!
The Texans have scored only 78 pts in their last five games that's a APG of 15.6 and take away the 31 againt the titans it's only 11.75.
I don't care if they get 400 yards a game if they still can't score it's not improvement.
If there is one coach that does deserve some second-guessing and question on this staff, I'd say it is the OLine coach and not Palmer. Not to say that he should be fired but those in the know should be evaluating what he's doing with that group. 3/5 of that line are moderately to somewhat expensively payed free agents who are all in or near the prime of their careers. The other two are young, talented men who have shown no signs of being uncoachable... The run blocking is worse than last year and the pass blocking is about the same. Whether it's another year under the same system or another year of continuity that's needed, I don't know. However, until the OLine starts playing better, the offense isn't going to be among the better ones in the league- regardless of the skill position talent or the playcalling by Palmer.
I like the 4 wideout thing, NE run is consistantly. We've been really simple lately. When we don't spread it around, we ge stomped. AJ can catch 20 balls in a game but if no one else is contributing he'll be one lonely guy. Consistantly over the last few games there have been only 1 or 2 contributors on offense. If we have success it's only with one guy. One wee AJ pads his numbers, then another week, we dink and doink to Davis all day. Where the heck is Bradford, Miller and Gaffney lately? Can we try motioning once for God's sake???
kinda nitpicking isn't it? I am sure if we went back to 2003 or 2002 and took away a stretch of 5 games our numbers would look lower.
Heck if I take away the games you stated .. we would have Wells starting instead of DD.
but your last statement is correct. we can't score.. our redzone offense is horrible. now is that because we either don't have enough weapons or not using the weapons that we have (i.e. TE) and the dump down passed to DD doesn't work on a shortened field.. Run blocking inconsistant down their also
Yeah and if you took away the longest run from each game of Barry Sanders' career he would have averaged 2.5 ypc--so what? Those bad games are in the averages above--that is the point of an average. The averages for the prior 7 games would be tremendously higher if you took out the last 5 games. Have they regressed in the last 5 games, yup--but the statement that they haven't improved this year involves the whole season, not just the last 5 games.
Can we start firing fans?
"I don't like your attitude as a fan. You're fired!!"
LOL! There wouldn't be anyone left on this board.
I think, that some Cowboys are amazed by Julius Jones and are dreaming now about the possbilities of what could have happend, if he would have been healthy...
Just Dreams.
I don't know what happened to the "D" in alllas but they aren't going anywhere. they gave up 500 yards to Seattle. eventhough they won, but that offense isn't good enough to consistantly put up that many points

Originally selected in the 46th round of the '08 draft by the A's, the California-born Graham decided to attend Santa Clara University instead. The Broncos have produced a lot of draftees (160 total), but only three have gone on to have a 10 WAR or better career according to Baseball-Reference with Randy Winn their most notable player. The last time the Braves selected a player from Santa Clara was back in 1990 when they selected generic infielder Ed Giovanola. But in 2011, Graham was still available for the Braves in the 4th round. The #146th overall pick was ranked by Baseball America as the 120th best prospect heading into the draft so that was good value for Frank Wren's team.
After signing, Graham blitzed the APPY League over nearly 60 innings. He carried an impressive 4 K/BB ratio and gave up no homers in that time frame. His maturity and quick success prompted the Braves to push Graham past Rome so that he could start 2012 with the Lynchburg Hillcats. It worked rather well. In 17 starts, he duplicated his 4 K/BB rate in a bigger sample size (102.1 ING). His K's fell, but so did his walks. He pitched well beyond his years and it almost seemed like he had yet to be challenged. Atlanta sought to solve that by promoting him to Mississippi to finish the year. The Braves under Wren often attached accelerated timetables to the college pitchers they selected and Graham was no different. With about 205 innings under his belt, he was just a step away from the majors.
At that time, Graham had an impressive collection of pitches with a mid-90's fastball that had heavy sink on it. He kept hitters off balanced with a nice change-of-pace plus a swing-and-miss slider. If he could only stay healthy, he was going to remain a big part of the picture for the Braves.
Ah, but there's the rub. 2013 was an eight-start shortened season where he dealt with shoulder issues, which caused his velocity to tail off. Going through adversity is not uncommon for Graham. He was born three months prematurely at just 2 pounds. He even stopped breathing in his father's hands before being revived. Graham fights for every little thing he achieves and plays with a chip on his shoulders. An aggressive hurler, he earns the reputation as a bulldog. Now that he had control of his stuff, he wasn't going to let an injury keep him down for long.
Unfortunately, his body disagreed. While theoretically healthy during much of 2014, shoulder problems are a very difficult thing for a pitcher to shake. The Braves tried to baby him, giving him a strict pitch limit to keep his innings down. He didn't reached 70 pitches until his tenth start and after a good start to his season, his numbers began to decline. Graham would miss nearly a month of baseball before a late July return. After four brief starts, he moved to the bullpen and didn't have much success there either. All told, he had a 5.58 ERA in 71 innings with a 1.9 K/BB rate.
After the season, the Braves and their new front office had some Rule 5 decisions to make. They chose to protect Yean Carlos Gil and Williams Perez over Graham and Cody Martin, another successful ex-college pitcher. While Gil would later be designated for assignment, keeping Perez turned out to be the right move as he would start 20 games for the Braves in 2015. Martin would pass through the Rule 5 draft and briefly looked good in the majors before being shipped out in a trade. Graham didn't last nearly as long. The Twins selected him in the Rule 5.
A full-time move to the pen and a good offseason returned a lot of the velocity Graham had been missing. He was back in the mid-90's with max speeds of 98 mph. A lot of people were upset with the Braves for letting him go for nothing. His early success with the Twins gave their disappointment more validity. After 1.1 innings with a K against the Reds on July 1, Graham had a 2.92 ERA over his first 22 games and 37 innings. The walks (11) were a bit high and homers (6) stood out, but he was showing some good things. He even made a spot start against the Brewers on June 6, going 4 innings and allowing a run on a homerun. However, things got ugly after July 1. Over his final 17 games, he gave up 23 runs in 26.2 ING. Relegated to only low-leverage innings, he pitched sparingly over the final weeks especially with the Twins trying to stay alive in the Wild Card race. He also missed a little time toward the end of August with shoulder troubles.
Much was made about the Braves' decision to not protect Graham. Most of this is attached to fans overvaluing their team's prospects. The Braves had a pitcher who, while clearly talented, was being sidetracked by shoulder issues. In today's modern medicine world, it's just a reality that it's easier to fix ligament damage than shoulder trouble. The Braves made that point clear by picking Daniel Winkler in the same Rule 5 draft where Graham went to the Twins. Winkler, who was recovering from Tommy John surgery, was viewed as an asset to bet on versus Graham.
The Twins now don't have to feel the need to keep Graham in the majors to satisfy the Rule 5 rules so we might see Graham back in the minors when 2016 opens. Always the fighter, it's easy to root for Graham. But the chances that the Braves will regret losing him are pretty slim.

Ryo Takes Suzuka 8-hour Pole For Suzuki

The wonders of international PR bring us the news that a Suzuki is on pole at Suzuka, courtesy of a Honda press release written by a Japanese writer:

Ryo Snatches Suzuka 8 Hours Pole From Rossi

Akira Ryo will start tomorrow's Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance race from pole position. The Team Suzuki rider grabbed top spot on the grid with a superb lap in the final 'Special Stage' held at the 5.864km circuit today.

"Special Stage is only a show," said Ryo. "I wanted to do 2:07.7 but the temperature was high. Still I'm happy because we can start from the top. I want to win the race tomorrow with Kagayama and Watanabe."

Qualifying for the race is held over two days with the best lap times of each team rider combined to establish their average speed. The grid is then locked, the top 20 teams apart.

The two fastest riders from the top 20 teams each try to better their time via the Special Stage, a 'Double Superpole' type shoot out. The time set by the fastest man in the team establishing their position on the grid.

At the end of two days of qualifying it was 2000 race winners Tohru Ukawa and Daijiro Katoh, together with reserve rider Makoto Tamada (Cabin Honda), set the pace from Ryo, Yukio Kagayama and Akira Watanabe, with the Cabin Hondas of Valentino Rossi, Colin Edwards and Shinichi Itoh plus that of Tadayuki Okada, Alex Barros and Manabu Kamada.

Fastest lap in regular qualifying was set by Rossi. His time of 2:07.349 was four-tenths of a second faster than that of Ryo and a further tenth faster than Ukawa.

In the special stage Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha) was first man close to breaking the 2:09 barrier, missing out by just 0.010s. The Kawasaki of Hitoyasu Izutsu was the first to dip under 2:09, taking provisional pole in the process. Okada was next to try but failed and will take fifth place along the pit wall in the Le Mans type start.

Rossi was next to go out and, despite a crash in the morning free practice session, set a blistering time of 2:08.146. But Ryo had been in good form all weekend and went even faster with a time of 2:08.093 pushing Rossi, Edwards and Itoh into second spot.

That left Honda's hopes of pole position riding on the shoulders of Ukawa's cabin Honda. It was not to be, Ukawa, at his own admission, was well off the pace and their team will start from third, courtesy of Katoh's time.

Okada, Barros and Tamada start from sixth place ahead of the Yamahas of Haga and Anthony Gobert, and the second team machine of Naoki Matsudo and Wataru Yoshikawa.

The Team Kohtake & Sakurai Honda VTR of Yuichi Takeda and Tetsuya Yamaguchi take ninth place on the grid.

Qualifying times: (lead off rider named first).

1. Akira Ryo/Yukio Kagayama, Suzuki, 2:08.093
2. Valentino Rossi/Colin Edwards, Honda, 2:08.146
3. Daijiro Katoh/Tohru Ukawa, Honda, 2:08.297
4. Hitoyasu Izutsu/Akira Yanagawa, Kawasaki, 2:08.305
5. Tadayuki Okada/Alex Barros, Honda, 2:08.385
6. Noriyuki Haga/Anthony Gobert, Yamaha, 2:09.010
7. Naoki Matsudo/Wataru Yoshikawa, Yamaha, 2:09.045
8. Keiichi Kitagawa/Toshiyuki Arakaki, Suzuki, 2:09.149
9. Yuichi Takeda/Tetsuya Yamaguchi, Honda, 2:09.163
10. Osamu Nishijima/Ryuji Tsuruta, Kawasaki, 2:09.501

Team Cabin Honda:

Valentino Rossi. No 11: "Pole position would have been great but because I had a silly crash this morning I did not go as hard as maybe I could have. It is disappointing to set a 2:07.3 in regular qualifying and then get a 2:08.1 in the attack stage. But second place is perfect for us, the race is not decided in practice and the race is eight hours long.

"Colin (Edwards) is also having a good feeling and the machine is fine, so we are looking forward to tomorrow's race. All we have to do is not crash like last year. Tomorrow, I take the start. It's a first experience for me and I'm looking forward to it. I'm quite good at running, you know!"

Colin Edwards. No 11: "Today's special stage was okay and I'm satisfied with my time. When Valentino crashed during the free practice I was anxious. But as he didn't get injured and the machine wasn't heavily damaged, I was relieved. We are getting good tyres for the race and we are looking forward to it. Tomorrow the only tactics is not to crash."

Noriaki Nakata, Cabin Honda team manager Rossi - Edwards: "The reason for Valentino's crash during free practice was a brake adjustment mistake. The nightmare of last year's crash suddenly crossed my mind. So I was quite nervous during the special stage. But both riders did a good job and I am satisfied. No crash is the key for tomorrow's race."

Daijiro Katoh. No 4: "I can ride on my own during the special stage without any traffic and I like it. But today I didn't push to the limit. The top speed of my VTR1000SPW is 288km/h and I guess this was due to a fair wind. Of course I want to win again tomorrow. I will try my best although I will be careful not to crash."

Tohru Ukawa. No 4: "I rode terribly today. I am disappointed. I made a lot of mistakes. Maybe I was too tense. But tomorrow I will ride smoothly and win the race."

Machimasa Arima, Cabin Honda team manager Katoh - Ukawa: "We wanted to get pole but third on the grid is not so bad. We found a good machine set-up and have also decided which tyres to use tomorrow. The race will be tough tomorrow and our tactics will be to stay in the top group till the later stages then get out of the group to win the race. Smooth preparation and pit work will be necessary to accomplish our goal."

Tadayuki Okada. No 33: "I didn't like the special stage so much before but Michelin prepared superb tyres for us this time and I felt comfortable today. When Alex crashed during free practice he wasn't using the new front tyre so I wasn't worried at all.

"Both Alex and I are doing so well this time and we are enjoying ourselves. I think we can enjoy the race also. I want to win this 8 Hours and am looking forward to improving my Superbike results."

Alex Barros. No 33: "I could have gone faster for the time attack today. But I crashed in free practice so I didn't push to the limit during the time attack. Also it was very hot and the grip was not so good. The 8 Hours is a long race and it is important to do consistent times. Fifth on the starting grid is a lucky position for us. When we won in 1999, we started from fifth position. I remember it well."

Nobuo Ono, Cabin Honda team manager Okada - Barros: "Both riders set almost the same time during the special stage and that's very good. During free practice Alex crashed, soon after he set a time of 2:07. But it was a good lesson for him to know his limit. Both our riders are well experienced and they will show their fighting spirit tomorrow."

text: In Megawatts and Megatons, world-renowned physicists Richard L. Garwin and Georges Charpak offer an accessible, eminently well-informed primer on two of the most important issues of our time: nuclear weapons and nuclear power. They begin by explaining clearly and concisely how nuclear fission and fusion work in both warheads and reactors, and how they can impact human health. Making a strong and eloquent argument in favor of arms control, Garwin and Charpak outline specific strategies for achieving this goal worldwide. But they also demonstrate how nuclear power can provide an assured, economically feasible, and environmentally responsible source of energy - in a way that avoids the hazards of weapons proliferation. Numerous figures enliven the text, including cartoons by Sempe.

Greetings Everyone,
I have been searching for an answer to my problem for about a week using Google. I have not found any threads on any forums that resolve this problem. I am currently running Slackware 12.1 on Linux kernel 18.104.22.168. I believe that the resolution I am outputting to S-video is the culprit. When I try to add a resolution to S-video output I get this error:
xrandr --addmode S-video 640x480
lspci -v
xrandr --newmode "640x480_60.00" 23.86 640 656 720 800 480 481 484 497 -HSync +Vsync
Xrandr 1.2 S-video output to TV is trapezoidal using ATI Radeon 9250 PCI
So I've been trying to resolve this problem with fglrx instead of the drivers that come with Linux kernel 22.214.171.124, but I can't seem to get it to install properly. Are the proprietary drivers better than the kernel drivers? I was also talking with a friend and he told me I should post my xorg.conf and Xorg.log here in case there is some information in them that could help. As both of those are quite long, what parts are important for diagnosing this problem? When looking for the proprietary drivers, I found out that ATI has discontinued the Radeon 9250 video card. Could they have not included support for this card in the latest Catalyst update? I am a total loss. If I come across any solutions I will be sure to include a link in my next post.
I'm new to dealing with video card config with xrandr as well. I do however have the same card as you and have been able to get my S-video output working well under ubuntu 8.10.
I got a similar error to yours when trying to add resolutions until I used 800x600.
I'm not sure that these lines are all necessary, but here is what worked for me:
force video mode:
$ xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
I then made the display active using the following lines:
$ xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1
$ xrandr --auto
For what it's worth, I couldn't get things to display properly with the fglrx driver.
xrandr version: 1.2
kernel: 2.6.27-9
Hope this helps!
Xrandr 1.2 S-video output to TV is trapezoidal using ATI Radeon 9250 PCI
I can get an S-video output resolution of 800x600. I don't think I was too clear in my initial posts though. When I use the default S-video output, I get a picture that is slightly more narrow at the top than at the bottom. I have tried it on two televisions, and both get the same results. The picture is fine, it's just not square is all. I have been searching for a couple of months and I have yet to come across a solution for this problem. I also use your method when I am not cloning my desktop. I do this set of commands to get a picture just for my television using xrandr:
xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1

As I have commented before,here:I can only put together one reason why this Fast and Furious operation happened.
It was intended to create international outrage over violence in Mexico via guns traveling through US gun dealers.
That international outrage would be used to drive through gun legislation.
If there is another line of thought that connects the dots I'd like to read it.
It would also take a "willful suspension of disbelief" to accept the White House and Attorney General had no knowledge.
So,now I ask,what sort of events were the 2000 AK-47's supposed to be connected to in order to generate this outrage?
I do not think it was shooting road signs.
No.The guns walking into Mexico were to generate outrage over tragic,senseless acts of slaughter.
That happens in Mexico.The drug cartels practice terrorism.I have seen pictures of rows of decapitated heads on a dance floor,bodies dissolving in barrels of lye.
Its not just criminal versus criminal.The decent,law abiding citizen is as likely to be the victim.
I work in an elementary school.My "every day" is about the kids,the teachers,the parents,the playground.
My grandaughter started Kindergarten this year.
The Mexican people in Mexico ,where our government walked the AK-47s,the Mexican people in Mexico,they love their children,too.And their mothers,and fathers,sisters,brothers.They bleed the same,they cry the same.
I hope you will think deeply about what Fast and Furious really means.
And the incredible hypocrisy.
Where does the political theatre stop?

The only monthly feature that profiles the careers of the industry's most accomplished foodservice equipment and supplies dealer sales reps by presenting their achievements, views on customer service and secrets to their success.
For Regina Cafferata being a successful DSR seems to run in the family, as her husband John is a
former FE&S DSR of the Month.
Jack Mullins considers himself a foodservice industry lifer. He became a dishwasher in a restaurant at 16, and also served as a line cook at a steakhouse before rising through the ranks to become a restaurant manager.
It is possible to combine two diverse interests into one successful career.
Scott Morrical found his calling in the foodservice industry at a very young age. "I started working in breakfast restaurants while in middle school, washing dishes by hand," he says. Morrical then moved on to supper clubs, before becoming a dealer and broadline sales rep to capitalize on what he calls his "gift of the gab".
In some instances, it is the family ties that carve a career path.
Scott Wainwright has been involved in almost every facet of the foodservice industry during his career.
Josh Cohen broke into the foodservice industry working in restaurant operations. And about eight years ago he made a career change by joining The Wasserstrom Company. Cohen has been in his current role for six years.
Larry Simonel has been in the foodservice industry most of his life. Growing up, his mother worked as a restaurant manager and he began working in and around foodservice operations at 12 years old.
Working with national accounts for Atlanta Fixture, Jon Jacobs says his favorite part of the job is helping customers save money. This is no surprise because, as a former restaurant owner, Jacobs realizes the importance of the bottom line.
A self-proclaimed foodservice industry lifer, Jason Sem admits that his career has taken many twists and turns along the way.
Josh Smith owes his career to being at the right place at the right time. After years of working odd jobs in restaurants, including dishwashing and bussing tables, Smith's buddy invited him to help move Bargreen Ellingson's warehouse.

One-thousandth of 1 percent might not seem like a significant amount. But when it comes to paying off the massive budget deficit in Illinois, it could mean everything.
Paul Buchheit, a professor of economic inequality at DePaul University, says the state needs to implement a financial transaction tax to solve the current economic crisis.
Illinois has a $500 million budget deficit and a $9 billion backlog in unpaid bills. He estimates his proposal would bring in $10 billion.
Generally speaking, a financial transaction tax is a fee investors pay each time they trade stocks, options or other forms of securities. Under Buchheit's plan, the tax would target only Illinois' largest trading firms and not the average investor.
"All I'm proposing is a tiny tax, possibly one-thousandth of 1 percent on each transaction," Buchheit said. "It would only affect the highest-volume trades and computer-generated trades."
According to Buchheit, large corporations such as Chicago-based CME Group are accumulating enormous profits, while simultaneously receiving generous tax breaks.
"A middle-income mother who goes to the store to buy shoes for the kids pays a 10 percent tax in Chicago," he said. "If some high-flying financial type goes in to buy a financial instrument for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, he'll pay zero percent tax. It's terribly unfair."
The CME Group, parent of the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange, reported earnings of $951.4 million in 2010, up 15 percent from its 2009 net income of $825.8 million. Separately, Gov. Pat Quinn signed an $85 million tax break for CME into law this past December.
Yet the CME Group fears the implementation of a financial transaction tax in Illinois would have extensive repercussions across the Land of Lincoln.
"A transaction tax on futures and options would not only be bad for business and commerce, it would also drive trading overseas or off-exchange — away from the best-regulated markets, into those with less regulation and transparency and more risk," said Michael Shore, associate director of corporate communications at CME Group.
Leading experts in the financial industry share similar doubts about the effectiveness of a financial transaction tax.
"Imposing a tax on financial transactions is generally a bad idea," said Jonathan Brogaard, associate professor of finance at the University of Washington. "It hurts both liquidity and price discovery."
"Futures trading started in Chicago because of its proximity to many of the commodities it was trading. Proximity to the underlying asset no longer matters. Firms and exchanges will simply relocate if their cost of doing business rises enough in Illinois compared with other states," he said.
David Mirza, an economics professor at Loyola University Chicago, said history proves the tax plan lacks viability.
"It would absolutely never happen," Mirza said. "Years ago, Mayor Daley decided to place a tax on each transaction. It took him about three days to eliminate that tax because the Board of Trade and banks in Illinois said they would move."
Despite his critics, Buchheit plans on continuing his more than yearlong research on the topic. He has been working closely with organizations such as Pay Up Now and Move the Money Chicago to help conjure up support for his proposal around city neighborhoods.
"People are hanging onto these old theories that the free market should have free rein," Buchheit said. "The CME Group handles about three billion annual contracts worth well over $1 quadrillion. One-thousandth of 1 percent of that would pay off the total budget deficit of Illinois. It's just an unbelievable fact that people don't realize."

For now though it's bedside, holding a notepad and pens, hand cream and a small vase.
Vitra's toolbox is also available in a few other colors including a really nice pink!

I'm having a fondue dinner this weekend, and I need help -
I'm accustomed to places like the Pennsylvania Macaroni Co. in Pittsburgh and the like - old world grocers / cheesemongers who charge decent prices for cheese and don't make everything out to be "artisan" just because it's not plain-ol' Cheddar. I refuse to pay $15/lb for a decent Double Gloucester (and God forbid I actually want to buy a little aged Manchego!)
Suggestions for reasonably priced cheese in Montgomery County? Northern mo-co preferred.

Blazer welcomes life ban
Chuck Blazer, the man who first blew the whistle on the FIFA bribery scandal, has welcomed the life ban for Mohamed Bin Hammam as a warning to anyone in football tempted to use corrupt means.
• Bin Hammam: I was expecting ban
• Cash was for 'expenses'
• Bin Hammam banned for life
Blazer said the decision by FIFA's ethics committee showed the world governing body would take a ''zero tolerance'' approach to corruption.
Bin Hammam has already said he will appeal against the ban, imposed after the ethics committee found him guilty of giving or offering cash gifts totalling around one million US dollars to the 25 members of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU).
Blazer, the USA's FIFA member and general secretary of the CONCACAF confederation, first instructed lawyers to gather evidence of the bribery claims after being told of the cash gifts by the Bahamas FA.
The two FIFA members implicated were Bin Hammam and Jack Warner, who had the investigation dropped last month after he resigned from all football activities.
Blazersaid: ''I learned through some members that cash was being offered to members of our confederation for their votes and to me that's about as bad a situation as I can imagine.
''I believe vote-buying is unacceptable and I felt that had to be said widely and clearly and I am very glad the ethics committee has confirmed that, regarding bribery, we have zero tolerance. It sets a precedent and one that I fully support.
''It's a very good day for football in that it has been demonstrated that the process we adopted five years ago with the ethics code and committee is able to work.
''The fact we have suffered suspensions is sad but it will send notice to anybody else that might be considering that type of corrupt activity that FIFA is not the place to try it.''
Blazer said blowing the whistle was not comfortable; he had sat on FIFA's executive committee with both Bin Hammam and Warner since the early 1990s.
He added: ''I sat next to Bin Hammam for 15 years and enjoyed a very pleasant relationship with him. But when I saw the stuff which was happening, even going back to April 1 when he asked for this curious congress to be held, it made me raise my eyebrows and ask 'What the Hell is going on here?'.
''I had also worked with Jack Warner for 21 years but over the past few years as I looked started to look at certain things I felt very uncomfortable. This was not the way we conducted things in the past.''
Blazer said that credit should also be given to those officials from the Caribbean who came forward and gave evidence.

Getting Trashed on the Job: My Day in the Dump
Recology collects about 1,200 tons of garbage every day in "the pit" before it is hauled to a landfill. According to Recology, over the last eight years, San Francisco has reduced the amount of trash it is sending to the landfill by 49 percent. Photo by Cat Wise
For the past two weeks I've been wallowing in garbage. Everybody should try it as it casts light on a topic that is near and dear to the hearts of lots of Americans, especially in environmentally aware places like San Francisco. As I worked on a story for the PBS NewsHour, I visited landfills, composting centers, recycling facilities, garbage-as-art studios and curbside pickup sites, and talked with everyone from garbage men and sorters on the recycling line to executives of garbage companies and mayors and federal officials. They think they have a handle on some very sticky problems.
What to do with garbage is a worldwide dilemma that has some obvious and some not-so-obvious implications. Landfills can leach into nearby waterways and water tables, even if they're lined with plastic. The water in rivers, bays and underground gets polluted. The landfills emit greenhouse gasses as the material in it decomposes and those gasses affect the world's climate. And the landfills themselves are eyesores that occupy valuable and increasingly scarce land.
A new documentary, "Trashed" featuring the actor Jeremy Irons, details the ghastly effects around the world of too much garbage. The film also touts San Francisco as among the most farsighted cities in dealing with the crisis. You can see the film's trailer here.
Recology's Hay Road landfill in Vacaville, Calif.
San Francisco — urged on by a state law that mandates recycling — has adopted a goal of zero waste. That means recycling everything. And that's a little hard to imagine when you're standing waist-deep in garbage at a landfill, surrounded by things you might never consider could be recycled.
But San Francisco says it is 80 percent of the way there — that it is only throwing away 20 percent by weight of its garbage. The most recent and crucial part of this achievement was the addition of compostable waste — food scraps, yard clippings and so forth — to the recycling mix. The city can fine residents and businesses up to $1,000 if they don't cooperate, though they haven't done it yet.
This is where the politics of garbage rears its head. San Francisco officials, like Mayor Ed Lee, boast that the city leads the nation in recycling; that the city's private garbage company, Recology, is on the cutting edge of modern garbage treatment. But there are skeptics who don't believe it. They say the company is inflating the amount of recycling it is doing, and the city is taking the company's word for it, because they both look good leading the pack. San Francisco can claim it is the greenest city in America. Garbage contracts are always a point of contention, and in San Francisco Recology does all the pickup and recycling , without ever having to bid for the job. City residents recently voted decisively not to require a bid, after an extensive campaign where the company far outspent opponents.
Among those who doubt Recology and San Francisco's claims is a crusty old politician who served in city and state government for decades, recently retiring as a judge. Quentin Kopp — familiar to generations of San Franciscans — fought to require bids for the garbage contract and now is attacking the boasts of officials who claim they are recycling 80 percent.
"It's a myth, it's a bogus figure, " Kopp asserts, charging that Recology pads the amount recycled by adding sand they collect when the wind blows hard off the beach, and heavy construction materials, to the recycling totals. "They falsify the content, the nature of content, which is transmitted to the state of California."
Why would the city allow that? I asked him. "City hall goes along with it because it makes the politicians at city hall look good." As proof of his charges, Kopp points to a pending lawsuit by a dismissed employee of Recology who is ready to testify about the alleged practices.
Christmas trees are collected by Recology and then sent through a massive chipper. The resulting wood chips are shipped to Stockton, Calif., where they will serve as biomass in a waste-to-energy facility.
That's all nonsense says the CEO of Recology, Mike Sangiacomo. "We report to the city how much we collect, how much we send to the landfill, and how much we recycle. That's publicly available data. The city has it and anybody who wants to see it, it's there," says Sangiacomo.
Even the federal Environmental Protection Agency's regional director says San Francisco is a leader nationally, and perhaps internationally as well.
And if San Francisco is recycling 80 percent, or even close to that, why aren't other American cities doing it too? (The average for recycling in the country is about 35 percent, according to the EPA.) Among the answers I received were that some big garbage companies would rather not be bothered, especially since they own landfills and receive much of their profits from them.
Jared Blumenfeld, the regional EPA director, told me: "Really, what's preventing it is that there's a financial incentive to send things to the landfill. The garbage companies get paid the more they send to the landfill, one big hole in the ground. So you really need to reverse the economic model, and often that isn't easy."
Furthermore, some parts of the country are not as environmentally-minded as the San Francisco Bay Area. And people in many areas think that championing recycling is old hat. They've moved on to other environmental issues like climate change. But mostly it's inertia — why change the way things have always been done?
In any case, Blumenfeld and others think the future is moving toward more recycling. Other cities are getting on the bandwagon, and the rules about disposing of garbage are changing before our eyes.

Limited to 12 players on Saturday, the team managed to outplay Mustang for major portions of the match, with a collection of near goals and offensive chances from a variety of players including Lissi Knell, Kylie Copenhagen, Shelby Brown, Alex Dickinson, Shannon Malindzak, Caroline Smith and Kennedy Poplawski. Mustang took a 1-0 lead 15 minutes into the second half, but Rage immediately answered with a perfectly placed 20-yard strike from right winger Katie Styles to tie the match 1-1.
Sunday's match was a hard-fought battle between two talented Rage squads, and was punctuated by numerous scoring chances both ways, with excellent goal keeping from Brianna Miller and a rock-solid defense lead by Annette Ramirez, Alyssa Ray, Cely Thomas and Jessica Sanassarian. The lone goal of the match came off a penalty kick awarded when Olivia Cunha was tackled from behind on a run toward goal. Sasha Greenlee buried the shot in the upper right corner to give U19 White the goahead goal.
With three victories in its final three matches, Rage U19 White can capture at least a second place finish in league, possibly higher depending on other matches.

Irish Blogger Gathering: Beat Panthers Edition
Nov 1, 2012, 11:24 AM EDT
With four undefeated teams atop this week's college football polls, many are beginning to wonder if we're staring straight into the BCS-pocalypse that has long been feared. But let's not forget, the chances of Alabama, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame all being undefeated a month from now is pretty slim.
So while we might be tempted to yell "Fight On" or "Geaux Tigers" this weekend, the only team we should focus on is the Blue & Gold, one game at a time (Saturday. Pittsburgh. 3:30 pm ET. NBC).
It's only Week 10 on the college football calendar, but since we're in the final stretch of presidential campaigning, today's Irish Blogger Gathering took on a bit of an election theme (…and completely contradicts what I just said in the first two paragraphs of this post, about taking the season week by week). I traded questions with Subway Domer, asking him to make his argument for Notre Dame and Manti Te'o.
He fired back with a difficult challenge of his own – requesting that my responses be in haiku form. (Check out my answers here).
Make sure to also visit Her Loyal Sons and Inside The Irish for the rest of this week's IBG.
And now…Subway Domer's thoughts on the Fighting Irish:
There's a lot of football left to be played, but this is our last IBG before Election Day. Coach Kelly said he won't get involved with the BCS politicking, but it doesn't mean us bloggers can't. Should the Irish finish the season as one of three or four unbeaten teams, state your case for why they deserve one of the spots in the national championship game.
This is a very difficult task. If one would walk into this with an unbiased opinion, a very tough argument could be made for all three or four teams.
Notre Dame has played a very tough schedule that did not include ANY teams from the FCS. They won all their games. Notre Dame has one of the country's best defenses. They have a Heisman Trophy candidate. Notre Dame could also possibly lay claim to a better group of victories at the end of the season, when compared to the other teams not named Alabama.
While we're on the subject of elections…Pretend I'm a Heisman voter. Why should I choose Manti Te'o instead of Collin Klein?
The Heisman Trophy is supposed to go to the best college football player in the country each year, however that isn't always the case. It can be this year. Basically: I'm not sure if Klein is the best player on the offensive side of the ball, but I'm positive that Te'o is the best player on defense, and once you start comparing Te'o to others in the country with his play and leadership both on and off the field… Manti Te'o is the best college football player in the country. Strike the pose!
Last time the Irish started 8-0, they won their eighth game in similar fashion – on the road, against a team that was ranked lower, but still a double-digit favorite. Then they came home against BC and…well, you probably know the rest. Notre Dame should be heavily favored in each of the next three games. What do they need to do to succeed in these "trap games"?
The best way? To not look at them as "trap" games. Much like the prevent defense, playing a game such as this has you "playing not to lose" instead of just winning the darn game. Notre Dame must approach each of these games with a sense of urgency and with a chip on their shoulder. After all, there are still a lot of voters that still don't believe Notre Dame is one of the top two teams in the country. They are going to have to go out there and prove it.
I believe that can and will accomplish this feat. Pete Sampson of Irish Illustrated made the point that in 2002, the team had a sense of accomplishment after the Florida State game. A sense of complacency. He, nor I, are getting that vibe this season. In fact, it is Brian Kelly, his staff, and the captains that are leading the charge to "march on." This team isn't going to let down one stinking bit.

SAN DIEGO ---- A woman gave birth Thursday while stuck in traffic near Mount Soledad because of a multi-vehicle crash, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Five people were injured in the crash that involved at least four vehicles on Interstate 5, between state Route 52 and Gilman Drive, shortly before 8 a.m.
Lanes were closed as emergency crews cleared the wreckage and state Route 52 also was backed up, the CHP reported.
Shortly after 8:30 a.m., a pregnant woman on the way to her doctor got off state Route 52 at Regents Road and gave birth in a parking lot at Marian Bear Memorial Park, before paramedics could reach her.
Mother and baby appeared fine, but were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital to be checked out, she said.
Five people were injured in the crash, two seriously, and four were taken to hospitals, according to a San Diego fire-rescue dispatcher.

Is A Double Whammy Ahead for Hospitals and Healthcare Reform?
Healthcare coverage is both a blessing and a curse–it really all depends on whether you are the patient or the hospital. The newly signed Patient Protection Act is designed to help millions of uninsured patients get proper healthcare coverage, yet the fallout from that coverage is likely to have some less than desired effects for hospitals and their bottom lines.
At first blush the new law should help take care of the cost of the uninsured patients who are often arriving at the hospitals emergency department, however, it may also have an unintended side effect, which is that now patients may utilize both the ED and primary care doctors for their general care. In May, Chadds Ford, PA-based IMA Consulting released Will Healthcare Reform Alter the Landscape of the Emergency Department?, looking at the impact new legislation may have on the ED environment. Some of what they found wasn't surprising, such as:
- Uninsured ED patients are the primary cause for ED overcrowding and excessive lengths of stay.
- Uninsured patients do not see primary care physicians or delay care to the point at which the ED provides the only alternative.
- When seen in the ED, their diagnostic course is more complex and time consuming, hence the longer length of visits.
However, what may go against the general thought process is the idea that when people have health insurance they are less inclined to visit the ED.
"One of the pieces of research we looked at was that people who tend to have insurance—particularly Medicare and Medicaid, tend to access the ED more than people who are uninsured," says IMA Consulting Director Bob Gift. "This is possibly because they're not necessarily stuck paying the entire bill."
Gift says people who don't have insurance—though they may opt for the ED when they do become sick—also tend to avoid care altogether, waiting until the last possible moment to access the system.
"Now patients may think, I have insurance so 'what the heck; I may as well go to the ED'," he says. Unfortunately, as most hospital financial leaders will tell you, EDs are already operating at or near capacity and there's already a dearth of primary care physicians. Consider these national statistics:
- More than 325,000 patients per hour or more than 119 million annually, seek care in the ED.
- From 1993 through 2006, the compound annual growth rate of ED visits was 3.6% and that number continues to climb.
- Since 2000, the number of EDs and hospital beds has decreased either due to facility closures or eliminated services (i.e., Deaconess Hospital in Cincinnati, OH and St. Vincent's Hospital in New York, NY).
- Just 13% of ED patient visits result in inpatient admissions, with hospitals reporting that currently an increased number of their inpatient admissions are coming through their EDs.
Interestingly, though they are currently seeing more inpatient admissions through the ED, that's likely to change for hospitals in the future, and therein lays the rub. Revenue generated from inpatient admissions that offsets the cost of the ED. In the California HealthCare Foundation report, California's Emergency Departments: Do They Contribute to Hospital Profitability?, far from being a cost burden, the ED actually has a positive influence on hospitals' financial performance. Though EDs lost an average of $84 on each patient treated and discharged, patients admitted to the hospital from the ED generated an average profit of $1,220 per admission—thereby covering any losses generated by patients who were discharged.
