# Observing Love on Facebook →
In honor of Valentine's Day last week, Facebook made a number of interesting post based on the unfathomable quantities of data they possess. The specific effects are generally understandable but not necessary what you would have predicted. On the frequency of Facebook activity as a relationship starts:
During the 100 days before the relationship starts, we observe a slow but steady increase in the number of timeline posts shared between the future couple. When the relationship starts ("day 0"), posts begin to decrease. We observe a peak of 1.67 posts per day 12 days before the relationship begins, and a lowest point of 1.53 posts per day 85 days into the relationship. Presumably, couples decide to spend more time together, courtship is off, and online interactions give way to more interactions in the physical world.
The start of relationships post got the most attention, but their profile of religion, age, and breakups also interested me.

# Tips for Healthy Science Skepticism →
It's a bit of an old saw here by now, but I think there's a lot of "science", especially as reported to popular culture that's utterly bogus. In the guise of helping politicians, the Nature blog has a good piece about how to be intelligently skeptical of scientific claims. This is "publication bias" looms large in my mind:
Because studies that report 'statistically significant' results are more likely to be written up and published, the scientific literature tends to give an exaggerated picture of the magnitude of problems or the effectiveness of solutions.
The list does go much deeper, too. Here's a harder issue I'd nearly forgotten about (my last experience with sample size significance is nearing a decade ago):
Effect size matters. Small responses are less likely to be detected. A study with many replicates might result in a statistically significant result but have a small effect size (and so, perhaps, be unimportant). The importance of an effect size is a biological, physical or social question, and not a statistical one. In the 1990s, the editor of the US journal Epidemiology asked authors to stop using statistical significance in submitted manuscripts because authors were routinely misinterpreting the meaning of significance tests, resulting in ineffective or misguided recommendations for public-health policy.

# The Coach Who Never Punts →
Without telling anyone I sold this blog to Grantland, and now I'm only going to link to their videos. Hope you don't mind.
I kid, but two-in-a-row is something I'd typically avoid. But I have two and so you're going to go watch a video about a coach of a small private Arkansas high school called Pulaski Academy whose strategy is to never — with very very few exceptions — punt away the football. He credits the strategy, along with his unconventional almost-all-onside-kick strategy, with allowing his small school to win so many state championships.

# Why Most Published Research is False →
I'm a bit of connoisseur of this type of thing, and so I'm embarrassed that I just today found an utterly fantastic plain-English argument from Alex Tabarrok about why you should discount almost all news story about a really interesting new finding by scientists. (I'm a connoisseur of this kind of thing because of the number of intelligent people who seem to treat every new study about a wonder-substance or agent-of-death as meaningful.) These guidelines are a good summary:
1) In evaluating any study try to take into account the amount of background noise. That is, remember that the more hypotheses which are tested and the less selection which goes into choosing hypotheses the more likely it is that you are looking at noise.
2) Bigger samples are better. (But note that even big samples won't help to solve the problems of observational studies which is a whole other problem).
3) Small effects are to be distrusted.
4) Multiple sources and types of evidence are desirable.
5) Evaluate literatures not individual papers.
6) Trust empirical papers which test other people's theories more than empirical papers which test the author's theory.
(via Tabarrok himself, in a shorter but good post about a specific study's failure)
# Expensive Wine Words →
Another in the large pile of "most things about wine are bullshit" stories. This author did a statistical analysis:
Using descriptions of 3,000 bottles, ranging from $5 to $200 in price from an online aggregator of reviews, I first derived a weight for every word, based on the frequency with which it appeared on cheap versus expensive bottles. I then looked at the combination of words used for each bottle, and calculated the probability that the wine would fall into a given price range. The result was, essentially, a Bayesian classifier for wine.

# Hitler vs. Stalin →
Timothy Snyder offers some new details on the age old question of "who was worse?" Doing the morbid calculus with new data leads to a result that turns the conventional wisdom — Hilter the eviler, Stalin the deadlier — on it's head (I wouldn't pull this but that I understand that not everyone likes to read NYRB articles):
All in all, the Germans deliberately killed about 11 million noncombatants, a figure that rises to more than 12 million if foreseeable deaths from deportation, hunger, and sentences in concentration camps are included. For the Soviets during the Stalin period, the analogous figures are approximately six million and nine million. These figures are of course subject to revision, but it is very unlikely that the consensus will change again as radically as it has since the opening of Eastern European archives in the 1990s.
# The Decline Effect →
Some scientific researchers are worried that the strength of experimental effects seem to decline over time. And I know science's fallibility is something of an old saw around here, but until I see more smart people taking it seriously I doubt that will change. Jonah Lehrer's conclusion pretty well captures what I want more people to realize:
We like to pretend that our experiments define the truth for us. But that's often not the case. Just because an idea is true doesn't mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn't mean it's true. When the experiments are done, we still have to choose what to believe.

# Correlation is not Causation: Alcohol Edition →
The New York Times ran a story last week to warm a teetotalers heart:
No study, these critics say, has ever proved a causal relationship between moderate drinking and lower risk of death — only that the two often go together. It may be that moderate drinking is just something healthy people tend to do, not something that makes people healthy.
# Pie Chart Problems →
They ask us compare angles, but we tend to underestimate acute angles, overestimate obtuse angles, and take horizontally bisected angles as much larger than their vertical counterparts.
The piece's thesis: that data visualization cannot save you, is certainly one worth taking to heart.

# America's Defense Budget Compared →
This chart is impeccably executed.
# Suicide Stats →
Though you may find it depressing, this BuzzFeed post has amassed a very impressive collection of interesting charts about suicide (mostly in the United States).
# Doppler Speed →
The National Weather Service think they may have found a driver going 130 miles per hour around Chicago. Using a weather doppler. Who knew? As Gizmodo explains, It works something like this:
Sometimes, when a warm layer of air rolls in up above the surface, the beam from the Doppler radar can be deflected towards the ground—picking up traffic and other objects much like a police radar gun. The weather service alluded to the fact that the "speeder" could have been nothing more than noise, but it still makes you wonder how long it will be before they figure out how to bust motorists from space.
# Mistaken Fear →
Psychology Today has a great article about the errors in reasoning that (vestigial) fear causes us to make. The ten:
- Risk and emotion are inseparable.
- Fear skews risk analysis in predictable ways.
- We underestimate threats that creep up on us.
- We prefer that which (we think) we can control.
- We substitute one risk for another.
- Using your cortex isn't always smart.
- The "risk thermostat" varies widely.
- Risk arguments cannot be divorced from values.
- "Natural" risks are easier to accept.
- Worrying about risk is itself risky.

# Olympic Medals →
In a simple chart, The Economist makes the interesting point that though the United States, Russia, and China fought fairly evenly for the most medals in 2004 — and most other games — it's actually countries like The Bahamas, Australia, and Cuba that did the best per capita.
# Urban Index →
# An Innovative Baby Portrait →
Jason Kottke's rather a fan:
Charles Joseph Minard may get all the accolades for his graphic of Napolean's march to Moscow, but for me, the above chart is the most beautiful ever created. When I look at it, I see Ollie. The graph is a portrait of him, as sure as this photo is.
# Apples and Oranges →
On April first, The Economist decided to teach it's readers a special lesson about the power of unexpected parallels in statistics. Truly surprising.
Also of note, Mahalo Daily managed to land an interview with Steve Jobs.
# American Tastes Change in Downturn →
Though I'm wary of most new organization playing with economics or statistics, this Reuters story qualifies for being both modestly interesting and completely plausible:
At U.S. warehouse club stores, a growing number of shoppers are giving up steak for cheaper chicken. Coffee sales are soaring at McDonald's, while higher-priced Starbucks slows. Restaurants are serving fewer customers because more people are eating at home.
Stung by the housing slump, tightening credit terms, and rising inflation, U.S. households are finding ways to cut back, putting a damper on the consumer spending that is the driving force behind the economy.

This was the first meeting between Pitt (8-3, 2-1) and UNK (4-6, 1-2) in women's basketball in 24 years. The Gorillas now lead the all-time series, 18-11. Despite shooting 20.6% (7 of 34) in the first half, UNK trailed by just a 25-18 score at the break. The Lopers managed to force 13 turnovers in the first 20 minutes and out rebound a bigger Pitt team by one, 22-21. The Gorillas opened up a 10 point lead early in the second half but the Lopers used a 6-0 spurt to make it a 33-29 game by the 14:35 mark. The stretch included back-to-back buckets by senior guard Ivy Jones (Vallejo, Calif.). However, Pitt scored 13 of the next 17 points to lead 46-29 by the 10 minute mark. Four of the Gorillas points came at the line and leading scorer Lizzy Jeronimus capped the run with two straight layups. UNK, having a season-low 16 turnovers, ended the game shooting 27.3% (15 of 55) from the floor and was just 11 of 26 (42.3%) at the line. This marks the third straight game Kearney has shot less than 60% at the line. Pitt shot a solid 43.9% (25 of 57) from the field and won the battle on the glass by two, 41-39. They also had just four turnovers in the second half. Averaging close to 20 points per game on the season, Jeronimus tallied a game-high 14 on 7 of 11 shooting. The 5-11 forward also had five rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes. Off the bench, Morgan Westhoff had 12 points, thanks to three three pointers, in 19 minutes. For UNK, Jones scored a team-high 12 by having five made field goals. Up front, Lincoln sophomore Queen Ohamara had nine points and seven rebounds (four offensive) along with a block The Lopers travel to Northeastern State Saturday afternoon. The RiverHawks upset nationally-ranked Fort Hays State, 54-44, tonight.

Grading the Buffalo Bills' Entire 53-Man Roster
By Ryan Talbot ,
The Bills are Very Strong at Running Back
The Buffalo Bills 53-man roster has been set. There will probably be a few tweaks to the roster before all is said and done, but let's analyze the Bills roster and how they grade out. Below is how the grading works out:
A: Elite (A+) to Top Eight (A-)
B: Above Average
C: Middle of the Pack
D: Below Average
F: Worst Unit in the NFL (think Cardinals' quarterback situation)
I'll grade each individual player and then average the position out. It should be noted that the grades of the starters will be weighted heavily toward the positions' final grade.
Which Ryan Fitzpatrick will the Bills get in 2012?
Ryan Fitzpatrick: B
Tarvaris Jackson: C+
Brad Smith: C-
Tyler Thigpen: F
I struggled to give Ryan Fitzpatrick a "B" grade as an NFL quarterback. Is he really an above-average quarterback in the NFL? Personally, I'm not so sure.
I decided that using statistics from the 2011 season would be the best indicator in terms of where certain players belonged, and the stats backed up Fitzpatrick as a solid quarterback in 2011. Here is a run down of the stats and where Fitzpatrick ranked in each category:
Yards: 3,832 (11th)
Completion Percentage: 62 percent (9th)
Touchdowns: 24 (10th)
QB Rating: 72.1 (22nd)
Interceptions: 23 (1st)
Credit: NFL.com stats
The Bills are coming off a disappointing 6-10 campaign after starting the season 5-2. The season changed for the Bills while collecting their fifth win of the season against the Washington Redskins.
During the game, Fitzpatrick took a shot from London Fletcher that resulted in a rib injury for the Bills' signal-caller. After that hit, Fitzpatrick didn't play consistently for the rest of the year.
After the Redskins game, Fitzpatrick's touchdown-to-interception ratio was 2:1. He had thrown for 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions in that span of time. However, the injury took its toll on Fitzpatrick. He finished the season throwing only 10 more touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
Fitzpatrick's quarterback ranking after the Redskins game was 98.4. After suffering the cracked ribs, his average plummeted to 65.2.
It truly was a tale of two seasons for Fitzpatrick, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and focus more on his early season numbers.
As for the other quarterbacks, the Bills have a quality backup in Tarvaris Jackson. Jackson is coming off of a 2011 campaign where he started 14 games for the Seattle Seahawks. Jackson's stats aren't overly impressive, but it should be stated that he took the second-most sacks in the league last season.
Part of his was due to the Seahawks offense and their offensive line. Jackson also tried to do too much at times. That said, Jackson threw the ball for over 3,000 yards, and his starting experience from a season ago benefits the Bills greatly.
It's safe to say that everyone knows Brad Smith isn't a true quarterback. He is simply the Bills' Wildcat quarterback. In his first year with the Bills, he didn't make much of an impact with the Bills.
This year, the Bills say that Smith will have bigger impact with the team, according to Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com. I'm not so sure that the Wildcat is still effective in 2012, but I'll give Smith and the Bills the benefit of the doubt.
Tyler Thigpen shouldn't have made the 53-man roster, but lady luck was apparently on his side. In Vince Young's third preseason game, he seemed to have the backup job locked up. Unfortunately, the wheels fell off, and the Bills felt that Young was not a good fit in Buffalo if Fitzpatrick were to go down to injury.
This led to the Bills trading a late pick to the Seahawks for Jackson. Until Jackson has a grasp of the playbook, Thigpen will remain with the Bills.
Overall, the Bills are far from elite at the quarterback position, but if Fitzpatrick's play resembles his start to the 2011 season, then the team is in very good hands.
The 2012 Bills Should Rely heavily on Jackson and Spiller.
Fred Jackson: A
C.J. Spiller: B+
Tashard Choice: C
Fred Jackson was a top-five running back in the NFL in 2011 before breaking a bone in his lower right leg in Week 10. Through the 10 games, Jackson had 1,376 all-purpose yards, second in the league behind Chicago's Matt Forte.
Jackson is still not a household name in the NFL, but Bills fans know that with Jackson healthy, anything is possible. The Bills also know how much Jackson means to the team, and they gave him a two-year extension in the offseason.
C.J. Spiller, the Bills' first-round pick of the 2010 NFL draft, was given his chance to step up when Jackson broke his leg. Spiller made the most of his opportunity, averaging 5.2 yards per carry in the 2011 season.
He also brought in 39 receptions for 269 yards during the regular season. There aren't many teams in the NFL who have a second running back as talented as C.J. Spiller.
Tashard Choice was signed by the Bills after Jackson suffered his leg injury. His 2011 campaign was disappointing, but he didn't receive much time to learn the playbook. This preseason, Choice looks like a different running back. He's been patient and showing good burst. Choice finished the 2012 preseason with 32 rushes for 108 yards.
It's safe to say that the running back position is one of the Bills' strongest units.
McIntyre is looking to sink his teeth into the 2012 season.
Corey McIntyre: C+
Dorin Dickerson: C+
Fullbacks are the endangered species of the NFL. Every team has a fullback, but most teams do not use them other than to block and an occasional handoff. The Buffalo Bills were very guilty of not using the fullback position in 2011.
Corey McIntyre, the team's starter, finished the season with one reception for four yards. Seriously. This season, the Bills say that they will use McIntyre more, especially in the passing game, according to BuffaloBills.com. McIntyre has proven to be a solid blocker, and I expect him to make the most of his new responsibilities this year.
Dorin Dickerson is probably the best athlete the Bills have had at fullback since Larry Centers. Centers had a brilliant career, so please don't think I'm saying Dickerson will come close to matching his stats.
Dickerson ran the 40-meter dash in 4.4 seconds at the 2010 NFL combine, a number that is unbelievable for a fullback. Look for Dickerson to get many opportunities in the passing game as the Bills are currently carrying four wide receivers.
The Bills are currently carrying four wide receivers.
Stevie Johnson: B
Donald Jones: D
David Nelson: B-
T.J. Graham: C
In 2011, Stevie Johnson became the first Buffalo Bills receiver to ever have back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Johnson finished the 2011 season ranked near the top 20 in yards (19th), receptions (18th) and touchdowns (21st).
Johnson struggled with a groin injury in 2011, and he admits that it is still nagging him heading into the season, according to Joe Buscaglia of WGR 550. For the Bills to be successful in 2011, Johnson will have to play a full season as he is our only proven outside wide receiver.
Donald Jones won the job as second wide receiver for the Bills in 2011. He played in seven games and finished with 23 receptions, 231 yards and one touchdown. Jones only had one game where he eclipsed the 100-yard mark, a Week 3 victory over the New England Patriots.
Jones lacked consistency during his injury-shortened season and had questionable hands. In 2012, Jones needs to show vast improvement at a position where the Bills are lacking.
David Nelson was a pleasant surprise for the Bills in 2011. In his second season with the team, Nelson caught 61 passes for 658 yards. Nelson is a very good slot receiver but struggled when he had to play outside due to injuries.
Look for the Bills to keep him in the slot all season. Nelson has the best hands out of the wide receiver corps, so it's not surprising that he is one of Ryan Fitzpatrick's favorite targets.
T.J. Graham was the Bills' third-round draft pick in the 2012 NFL draft. He had a great training camp and carried his strong play into the preseason. He finished the preseason with nine receptions for 146 yards. Graham's greatest asset is his speed.
This year, the Bills hope to develop a deep passing game with Graham. By midseason in 2011, teams were sitting on the Bills' short-pass attack due to their lack of deep speed. If Graham can make one big play per game, teams will not be able to sit on the short passes.
The Bills lack depth at wide receiver, so they will need to stay healthy if they plan on returning to the postseason for the first time since 1999.
Scott Chandler should put up solid numbers in the Bills offense.
Scott Chandler: C+
Lee Smith: C-
Scott Chandler was one of the biggest surprises of the 2011 season. The Bills entered the year with a lot of uncertainty at the tight-end position, and Chandler made the most of his opportunity.
Chandler had 38 receptions for 389 yards and six touchdowns. He was one of Ryan Fitzpatrick's favorite red-zone targets, and the Bills hadn't seen such production out of the tight-end position since the Jay Riemersma days.
The Bills awarded Chandler with a new contract in the offseason, and Chandler has a great chance to outproduce his 2011 stats. Look for Chandler and his sure hands to get many opportunities in the Bills' passing game.
Lee Smith is not much of a pass-catcher, but he is an outstanding blocker. You won't see much on Smith's stat sheet this season, but when he is in the game, look for him to open many holes in the running game.
Rookie Cordy Glenn is the best tackle on the team.
Cordy Glenn: B-
Erik Pears: C+
Chris Hairston: C
Sam Young: D
The 2011 Bills' offensive line gave up the fewest amount of sacks in the NFL. A large part of this was due to the quick-pass offense. The personnel itself was average, at best, when it came to our offensive tackles.
When the 2012 draft rolled around, many felt the Bills needed to take a left tackle in Round 1. The team, instead, took a cornerback. However, in Round 2, Cordy Glenn fell into their laps.
Glenn started 50 games in his time at Georgia. Eighteen of the games were at left tackle where he played better with each start. Glenn battled Chris Hairston in training camp and eventually won the job. The rookie is extremely agile and has everything you look for in a franchise left tackle.
Erik Pears played well in 2011. He kept defensive lineman in front of him long enough for Ryan Fitzpatrick to throw the ball to his targets. That said, he is not the long-term answer at the position. Pears had offseason hernia surgery and missed some time in training camp and the preseason. If he struggles early in the season, don't be surprised if he loses his job.
Hairston would be the beneficiary if Pears struggles early in the season. Hairston, fourth-round pick in the 2011 draft, started in seven games last season and held his own. He battled Glenn for the left-tackle spot, but Hairston is probably better suited to play right tackle.
Sam Young is a raw athlete who is still learning how to play tackle in the NFL. Young played well in college at Notre Dame, but the speed of the game in the NFL is a completely different animal. Young did have a great training camp, so there may be some potential for him as a right tackle.
Andy Levitre is one of the most underrated guards in the NFL.
Andy Levitre: A
Kraig Urbik: B-
Chad Rinehart: C+
Andy Levitre is one of the best offensive guards in the NFL, but he doesn't seem to get the credit he truly deserves. Ben Stockwell of Pro Football Focus listed Levitre as one of their secret superstars:
Levitre's play is clearly going only one direction and if the Bills can provide him with some stability in where he lines up (though he proved himself adept at providing cover when needed) then there is no reason to believe that the Bills won't have one of the league's best left guard's on their hands. His +14.5 overall grade through those first six weeks was better than players like Evan Mathis, Carl Nicks, Marshal Yanda, and Josh Sitton … the only players who ranked higher than Levitre at guard for the full season.
Levitre's ability in pass protection at both guard and tackle cannot be questioned. Over the last two seasons whether you look at our grades (+15.1) or the stats (35 total pressures allowed), he is amongst the elite pass protectors at guard. Combined with clear improvements in his in-line run blocking, and his consistent quality blocking in space, Levitre is ready to use the 2012 season to break into the NFL's upper echelon of guards.
Entering a contract year, the Bills would be wise to sign him to an extension before he hits the market after the season is over.
Urbik had a good season with the Bills in 2011, starting in 13 games. Urbik is entering his third year in the league, and his game has come a long way in that time. He has the potential to be the team's long-term answer at right guard.
Rinehart started in 12 games for the Bills in 2011. The Bills' offensive line suffered many injuries, and players were bounced around to different positions. To Rinehart's credit, he played well for the team and is a valuable backup.
The Bills need Eric Wood to stay healthy.
Eric Wood: B+
Colin Brown: C
Eric Wood is an excellent player, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy over a full season. In three seasons, Wood has only been able to play 33 games out of a possible 48. In his rookie season, Wood broke his right leg against the Jaguars, in 2010, Wood suffered another leg injury, and in 2011, he tore his ACL.
When healthy, Wood is one of the best centers in the league. If he plays in all 16 games this season, the Bills' odds of making the postseason improves.
Colin Brown's play in 2011 was respectable. Once Wood went down to injury, Brown earned quite a few snaps each game, even starting in Week 17 against the Patriots. That said, Brown is a journeyman who should not be depended upon for long periods of time.
Mario Williams significantly improved the Bills defensive ends.
Mark Anderson: B
Chris Kelsay: B-
Kyle Moore: C
The Bills' defensive line struggled to get to the quarterback last season. Enter Mario Williams and Mark Anderson.
Williams was the defensive prize of free agency. When it was announced that he decided to sign with the Bills, fans rejoiced as they imagined a player who could create havoc for opposing team's quarterbacks.
In Williams' last four seasons as a defensive end, he averaged 10.875 sacks per season. On the Bills defense, Williams will play left defensive end where he'll go head-to-head against right tackles. This should help elevate his sack total.
Mark Anderson was a pass-rush specialist for New England in 2011. In a limited amount of snaps, Anderson found a way to get 10 sacks. A few days after Williams signed with the Bills, Anderson signed a contract with Buffalo.
The Bills' defensive line instantly went from an area of weakness to an area of strength. Anderson played well in training camp and was named as the Bills' starter at right defensive end. In a full season, the sky is the limit for Anderson in terms of sacks.
Chris Kelsay is not going to pile up sacks for the Bills, but his greatest strength is playing the run. Kelsay will not be a starter for the first time since early in the 2004 season. That said, Kelsay will get plenty of snaps on running downs, so look for him to be a big contributor for the Bills.
Kyle Moore was one of the feel-good stories for the Bills this offseason. Moore, entering his fourth season, played two seasons with Tampa Bay where he felt he wasn't a good fit in the 3-4 defense, according to Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News.
Moore impressed the Bills' coaching staff during training camp with his burst off the edge, and for that reason, he won the job. Moore is quality depth who will probably play a few snaps each game.
Marcell Dareus hopes to follow up on his solid rookie season.
Kyle Williams: A+
Marcell Dareus: A
Spencer Johnson: B-
Alex Carrington: C+
The Bills may have the best interior defensive lineman in the NFL. Kyle Williams' 2011 season was cut short with a foot injury that landed him on the injured reserve. When healthy, Williams does it all.
He is excellent against the run and breaks the pocket down on pass plays. In the preseason, Williams has looked unbelievable, and in my eyes, he was the team's preseason MVP.
Marcell Dareus had an excellent rookie season, compiling 43 tackles and 5.5 sacks as both a defensive end and interior lineman in the Bills' 3-4 defense. This season, he'll play exclusively as an interior lineman, his natural position. Look for Dareus to improve upon his rookie stats and enter the upper echelon of defensive tackles.
Due to injuries, Spencer Johnson started in 11 games for the Bills. He played very well in that time and ended the season with 47 tackles and two sacks. If the Bills need Johnson to take a few snaps each game, Bills fans should feel like they are in good hands.
Alex Carrington is entering his third season with the Bills but has not done much when given opportunities on the field. Due to multiple injuries, Carrington started six games and played in all 16 regular-season games. His final stat line: 16 total tackles and one sack. Bills fans can only hope that Carrington does not have to see the field often in 2012.
Nick Barnett was a bright spot on a porous Bills defense in 2011.
Nick Barnett: B+
Arthur Moats: C+
Nigel Bradham: C+
Bryan Scott: C
Chris White: C-
The Bills picked up Nick Barnett after he was released by the Green Bay Packers. Last season, Barnett was probably the team's defensive MVP. He compiled 130 total tackles, three sacks, one forced fumble, three interceptions and one touchdown.
This season, Barnett will start as one of the Bills' outside linebackers. He is the only linebacker I have full confidence in as he is a proven commodity.
Arthur Moats had a brilliant training camp and won the starting job opposite Barnett. Moats has been moved around on the Bills as an interior and outside linebacker, as well as a defensive end. Having just one spot to focus on this offseason in the 4-3 defense really helped Moats, according to Sal Maiorana of the Democrat and Chronicle:
I feel like with my skill set and body size it's a better fit for me.The alignment is different, and what they're asking me to do is different. When you're in a 3-4 you're rushing and a lot of time you have to hold up against those big tackles. With a 4-3 you're off the ball and you're able to use your quickness more. I've been used to taking on those guys from close to the line, and now I have a running start.
Moats will get first crack at OLB, but it appears he'll be on a short leash.
On Monday, September 3rd, it was reported by Mike Ludwickzak of CBS Sports that Nigel Bradham is pushing for Moats' job. When asked about Bradham's emergence, Chan Gailey said:
He's such an impressive athlete. He's not played over there (strongside linebacker) at all. We'd thrown him over there a couple snaps over a little bit during OTAs and training camp, but we stuck him over there to see how he can do. He is such a physical presence and has such great speed. He matches up well over there and Arthur's done a good job, too. So if we can keep getting Nigel some reps and he can learn what to do, that'd give us two solid, young players.
Bryan Scott is transitioning from safety to linebacker. He has been a solid contributor with the Bills as a safety, and as he gets more comfortable with his new role, I expect he'll do well on a limited basis as an outside linebacker.
Chris White is the unknown. He's coming off an ACL injury but was impressive enough in training camp and the preseason to earn a spot on the final 53-man roster. White did look good in the preseason, so as he gets more practice time, I wouldn't be surprised to see him play during the regular season.
The Bills Need a Big Season from Kelvin Sheppard
Kelvin Sheppard: C
Kirk Morrison: C
Kelvin Sheppard was handed the middle linebacker job with the Bills. I'm not trying to say that he won't play well in the role, but he had no challengers for the job. For what it's worth, Sheppard played well in 2011 when given a starting role.
Sixty of Sheppard's 70 tackles came after the bye week when Sheppard took over as a starter. Early in the preseason, Sheppard played poorly, but his play improved with each passing game.
Kirk Morrison is technically listed as an outside linebacker, but if Sheppard were to be injured, Morrison would take over the spot. Morrison has seen snaps at middle linebacker as of late and has spent most of his career in that role. It's good that the Bills have a quality veteran on the roster in case Sheppard is hurt or underperforms.
Stephon Gilmore was excellent in the preseason.
Stephon Gilmore: B+
Aaron Williams: C
Leodis McKelvin: C+
Terrence McGee: C
Justin Rogers: C-
Ron Brooks: C+
The Bills have a lot of question marks at cornerback. Stephon Gilmore, the Bills' first-round pick, is not one of them, however. Gilmore has looked excellent during training camp and the preseason. The true test for Gilmore starts Sunday against the Jets, but by all accounts thus far, the Bills seem to have picked a great corner in Gilmore.
Aaron Williams, a second-round pick from the 2011 draft, has shown that he possesses outstanding athleticism. Williams is young and can grow into a very good cornerback, but he's experienced plenty of growing pains this offseason.
During training camp, Bills wide receivers were beating him consistently, and in the preseason, many wide receivers ran by him. Maybe when the real games start, Williams will step up his game, but for now, he's given the Bills plenty to worry about.
Leodis McKelvin seems to have finally found his role with the Bills. As a slot cornerback, McKelvin has looked excellent this preseason. McKelvin can keep up with any wide receiver, and in his new role, his job is simply to keep wideouts in front of him.
McKelvin can definitely do this well, and this season, it seems McKelvin could put together his best season as a Buffalo Bill.
Terrence McGee is on the downside of his career. In his prime, McGee was a terrific cover corner. Despite his size, McGee could cover most wide receivers and was good against the run.
Now, McGee cannot stay on the field. McGee has only played in 26 games in the last three seasons. The Bills shouldn't depend on McGee this season, but if he can stay healthy, his veteran leadership will give the Bills' secondary a boost.
Ron Brooks had an excellent training camp and preseason, but it was recently announced that he had to undergo foot surgery. Brooks is a great candidate for the new injured reserve where he can be brought back to the active roster when ready. The Bills can only hope that Brooks heals quickly as his depth would benefit the team.
Jairus Byrd is one of the most complete safeties in the NFL.
Jairus Byrd: A+
George Wilson: A
Da'Norris Searcy: B
Delano Howell: C+
Safety is among the Bills' strongest areas in terms of its starters. Jairus Byrd, the team's free safety, finished the 2011 season with 98 tackles, three interceptions, three forced fumbles and one sack.
Entering a contract year, Byrd excels in all aspects of the game. He plays the ball well, is a sure tackler and is great against the run. With an improved defensive line, Byrd will have many opportunities to intercept rushed quarterback passes.
George Wilson, the strong safety, finished the 2011 season with 106 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. Wilson is entering his seventh season in the league and is one of the best strong safeties in the league. The starting tandem is near the top of the league in terms of production.
Da'Norris Searcy has shown a great deal of improvement from his rookie season a year ago. He appears to be more confident and is playing well when he is in the lineup. If Jairus Byrd is not resigned, Searcy is likely to take over the top in 2013. That said, it'd be nice for the Bills to have Searcy as their third option.
All training camp, the Bills mentioned that they were looking for a fourth safety. It turned out he was on the roster all along. Delano Howell, an undrafted free agent from Stanford, played great in the preseason. He credits his fellow safeties for the improvement in his play:
A lot of the veterans -- I've got George, I've got Jairus, I've got [Da'Norris] Searcy -- I've got a lot of questions for them and they have answers. I've got the playbook to study. So it wasn't too difficult to catch up with all the help of the veterans.
Delano Howell to the Buffalo News 8/18/2012 as reported by Tim Graham
Garrison Sanborn is excited to receive his own slide.
Garrison Sanborn: A
It's hard to find much to say about a long snapper, but here it goes. Garrison Sanborn is good at what he does. He excels in his role and is probably one of the best long snappers in the NFL.
Rian Lindell is back from injury.
Rian Lindell: B+
John Potter: B+
Rian Lindell has done well during his career. He has made 80.9 percent of his field goals and the majority of his career has been spent in Buffalo and its turbulent weather. Lindell was underrated by fans heading into 2011, and it wasn't until he was placed on injured reserve that Bills fans could truly appreciate him.
Brandon Coutu and Dave Rayner showed that kicking in Buffalo and NFL in general is not an easy job.
One area where Lindell struggles is on kickoffs, so the Bills drafted John Potter in the seventh round. Potter made the most of his opportunity in the preseason, consistently kicking the ball through the end zone. By doing this, opposing teams cannot break off a big return and gain momentum in a game. Potter's strong leg will be a welcome addition to the 2012 team.
Brian Moorman is an elite punter.
Brian Moorman: A+
Brian Moorman is the greatest punter the Bills have ever had. The guy is unbelievable and seems to be getting better with age. Last season, Moorman's punts travelled an average of 48.2 yards.
The Bills are lucky to have Moorman as he is an elite punter in the NFL.
Justin Rogers hopes to be off and running in the return game.
Justin Rogers: B+
Leodis McKelvin: B+
C.J. Spiller: B
Brad Smith: C
The Bills' return game came on strong late in the 2011 season. This was thanks to Justin Rogers on kickoff returns and Leodis McKelvin as the team's punt returner. Against the Chargers, Dolphins and Broncos, Rogers averaged 33 yards per return.
McKelvin also came on strong for the Bills late with 135 total punt-return yards against the Broncos. This season, McKelvin will get the opportunity to build upon his strong finish to 2011.
C.J. Spiller is another good return man, but since his role in the offense seems to be expanding, it'd be best if the Bills kept him away from the return game. That said, when given the opportunity this year, Spiller will be a dangerous return man.
Brad Smith is the weakest of the bunch in my opinion. He looks slow and lacks speed when returning the ball. If he gets the chance to return kicks in 2012, I hope he proves me wrong. That said, on this list, he is the weak link of the return game.
Overall, the return game is pretty solid in Buffalo and has a chance to be a top-tier unit in 2012.

In Response to Re: Germany's Green-Energy Disaster: How Electricity Became a Luxury Good:
Petroleum is not the best way to make electricity. Changing to some alternative form of generation will entail some problems and cost hikes, but it is clearly the way to go.
Posted by Hovencloof
In the short run, nuclear and fossil fuels are the best approach to make electricity. In the long run, there are many alternatives. If you jump in without thinking (like Germany), you will have energy costs at least three times what you currently pay. The liberals would love this approach along with giving the very same people that shoved it down our throats a big discount on energy subsidized by those "other people" the left loves to hate!

Miss Selfridge blonde faux fur jacket (sold out, similar) | Sheinside blue and white stripe shirt (c/o) | ASOS distressed ridley jeans | Bank ankle boots (sold out, similar) | H&M cross-body bag
I'm a bit late jumping on the Ridley bandwagon, but I'm so glad I finally did. I've always stuck to wearing Topshop and Miss Selfridge jeans - occasionally branching out to Cheap Monday on wilder days - but I kept hearing amazing things about the ASOS Ridleys so, after hacking up a pair of my own jeans and almost ruining them in an attempt to get the 'distressed look', I purchased me a pair of these ready-made ones. The shape and fit of them is incroyable, they just kind of mould to your body and become your second skin and your new best friend. It was another cold 'un today so I popped on my faux fur coat to counteract the breeze my knees would be feeling, and finished it off with my trusty old ankle boots.

VAMP2-Dependent Exocytosis Regulates Plasma Membrane Insertion of TRPC3 Channels and Contributes to Agonist-Stimulated Ca Influx
Molecular Cell, Volume 15, Issue 4, 27 August 2004, Pages 635-646
Brij B. Singh, Timothy P. Lockwich, Bidhan C. Bandyopadhyay, Xibao Liu, Sunitha Bollimuntha, So-ching Brazer, Christian Combs, Sunit Das, A.G.Miriam Leenders, Zu-Hang Sheng, Mark A. Knepper, Suresh V. Ambudkar and Indu S. Ambudkar
SummaryThe mechanism(s) involved in agonist-stimulation of TRPC3 channels is not yet known. Here we demonstrate that TRPC3-N terminus interacts with VAMP2 and αSNAP. Further, endogenous and exogenously expressed TRPC3 colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated with SNARE proteins in neuronal and epithelial cells. Imaging of GFP-TRPC3 revealed its localization in the plasma membrane region and in mobile intracellular vesicles. Recovery of TRPC3-GFP fluorescence after photobleaching of the plasma membrane region was decreased by brefeldin-A or BAPTA-AM. Cleavage of VAMP2 with tetanus toxin (TeNT) did not prevent delivery of TRPC3 to the plasma membrane region but reduced its surface expression. TeNT also decreased carbachol and OAG, but not thapsigargin, stimulated Ca2+ influx. Importantly, carbachol, not thapsigargin, increased surface expression of TRPC3 that was attenuated by TeNT and not by BAPTA. In aggregate, these data suggest that VAMP2-dependent exocytosis regulates plasma membrane insertion of TRPC3 channels and contributes to carbachol-stimulation of Ca2+ influx.

Dissecting ICRAC, a store-operated calcium current
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Volume 32, Issue 5, 1 May 2007, Pages 235-245
Patrick G. Hogan and Anjana Rao
AbstractThe use of Ca2+ for intracellular signalling necessitates tight local and global control of cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, and mechanisms for maintaining the net Ca2+ balance. It has long been recognized that intracellular Ca2+ stores exert control over Ca2+ influx at the plasma membrane through a process of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). The Ca2+ current ICRAC is the best characterized instance of SOCE, but the elements of the pathway leading to ICRAC have eluded biochemical definition for more than a decade. However, the recent identification of key proteins underlying ICRAC – STIM1 and Orai1 – has led to several insights into this ER-to-plasma membrane signalling system and to the recognition that it is an ancient and conserved mechanism in multicellular organisms.

Roles of CRAC and CaV-like channels in T cells: more than one gatekeeper?

Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane of T cells vitally influence Ca2+-dependent signals that lead ultimately to cytokine secretion, cellular proliferation and apoptosis. Conventional models depict the Ca2+ inrush across the T-cell membrane following T-cell receptor engagement as being due to Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels. A poorly understood mechanism detects the lowered Ca2+ concentrations within intracellular stores that open CRAC channels. Mammalian homologs of the Drosophila transient receptor potential Ca2+ channels possibly help to gate the store-operated, Ca2+-borne CRAC current. In this article, we review evidence of a supplementary involvement of other Ca2+ channels, the opening of which does not necessarily reflect intracellular Ca2+-store depletion. We highlight a role for variants of L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in increasing intracellular Ca2+ concentrations during activation. For more-accurate modeling of lymphocyte activation and possible pharmacological interventions, future research should aim to identify physiologically relevant situations in which such channels help to shape the Ca2+ signal.

Here is an entry from Joe Vozzelli about yesterday's signing day.
Texas State officially announced its 2014 recruiting class Wednesday morning, signing 27 players — 19 were high school players and eight were junior college transfers.
Bobcat head coach Dennis Franchione's staff recruited over more than 17,500 miles to ink those players. Even with all that mileage, Texas State still kept the base of its recruiting in the home state, reeling in 17 players from the Lone Star State.
"The nucleus of this class will always come from this state," Franchione said. "No doubt about that. "We made our deal here that we recruit California junior colleges because there are so many of them there. And we recruit the state of Texas."

TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers
From Larry Brown Sports:
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick set records in his team's 45-31 win over the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs on Saturday, and he also inspired a social media trend.
The second-year player has been celebrating his touchdowns with a kiss on his biceps (seen above). After his outstanding performance Saturday — he rushed for 181 yards (a quarterback record), two touchdowns, and threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns — many Niners fans began following his lead by imitating the celebration.
Much like "Tebowing" and "Griffining," "Kaepernicking" has become a social media trend.
See some fans "Kaepernicking" below:

Kaepernick's celebration isn't exactly unique. As USA Today points out, wrestler Scott Steiner has been doing it for years. Even Metta World Peace has done it a few times in the past. But Kaepernick has done it on the biggest stage, so he is the one receiving the naming honors.
Looks like a deoderant commercial
I hope they aren't trying to say that he came up with this. Professional wrestlers have been doing it for decades...and looking just as silly.
DID YOU SAY THE SAME **** ABOUT tEBOW! BC BLACK ATHELETES BEEN DOING WHAT THT PUNK TEBOW IS COPYING!
lol..the Niner organization can never be original always biting others.. Lol...kapernicking, gmab. What a joke. Wait til his overrated offense gets killed.
LOLOLOLOL, yea, that whole west coast offense thing, it was the rest of the NFL that created that & Bill Walsh "bit" it off them...hahahaha.
Kap is kissing his tattoos.........you know, the ones some stupid sports writer made a big deal about. Quarterbacks shouldn't have tattoos...HA!!!!.....well this one does and he kicked some Packer a$$ Saturday.
true on that
They beleive and winning is all about believeing. The PAck didn't look like they believed in themselves at all in the second half and stopped fighting. Great book I'm reading called HARD WIRED sums it up pretty well. Found it on Amazon.
When are you haters EVER going to accept it,SanFran on its way back.Seattle fans,heres a grossly calculated statement,YOU BEAT THE DEADSKINS BECAUSE RG3 COULDNT EVEN WALK,LET ALONE COMPLETE A PASS!!!!!!!congrats,you beat a mortally wounded team.When it came to a completely balanced team,choked on your own feathers!!
You might want to rethink that. It was the falcons that ALMOST choked on their own feathers. After all they WERE ahead by 20 points in the third quarter, and should have won by at THE VERY LEAST, 10 points. They had a blowout going, and COULD NOT seal the deal. AND THAT is NOT redemption. He barely beat a team that he should have blown off the field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the thug wannabe QB. He's darn good, but needs to keep his mouth closed, as he comes across about as smart as one of the Kardashians.
so why do you think he is a thug wannabe
I have the great pleasure of being a Jets and Eagles fan, but you sir are letting that green dragon show it's ugly head. Wish the young man all the luck in the world! This was the best playoff weekend ever! Next week looks to be a shootout weekend.
amen flojoe!
Kaepernick has turned into the Deadliest Running QB in the NFL! And He's WHITE!
Is he white?
actually kaepernick is biracial african american and caucasian
Sorry it does look silly! You can't tell me he doesn't use steroids come on guys!
Really? Awful lot of celebrating for a player, and team, who hasn't won anything yet.
Kaepernick is going to the super bowl this year. The Atlanta falcons CAN NOT handle SAN FRAN head to head. I'm going to stick my neck out here, and say Matt Ryan will be picked off at least twice in this game, and that will be the difference. The forty niners should win by AT LEAST 10, and probably more. But that's just my humble opinion.
Sitting here in the ATL as a San Fran Fan, wondering how much stuff will I get throwed at me during the week...LOL...Bet not be on thing throwed at me because I will throw back. Anyway Rise Up Falcons, becuase you all are going to get Kaepernicked... LOL...STANKING UP KAEPERNICKING....GO 9ERS

Major Edit 2:01 p.m.: I got distracted with three different things and typed something that is just plain silly, sorry. (a small bonus to the young lady who diplomatically said "Umm...")
I am pulling the whole sentence.
Original post:
On Wednesday we pointed out that TSL was beginning to outperform the Russell 2000 and the solar ETF TAN. The outperformance seems to be in place, with one HUGE CAVEAT: over half of Trina's move came today, options expiration day and if memory serves, TSL had another OpEx day with a move to the upside, only to give it all back the following Monday....
...That said, here's where we stand vs. Wednesday's closing prices:
TSL up 13.90% ($12.95 to $14.75)
TAN up 4.94% ($11.53 to $12.10)
^RUT up 4.84% (502.11 to 526.43)

User Review: Marmot Men's Trestles 15
Price Paid: $120
I had a Cat's Meow 20F that I froze in the first night (fully clothed, in a wooden shelter, at about 40F) and just about every night after that; I was cold even in mild (60F) conditions.
After more than 30 nights in it I finally gave up on it and got a Marmot Trestles 15F long extra wide. I was concerned about the weight but did not notice it at all on a week-long 50 mile hike. The extra weight is more than compensated for by the quality of sleep I now get. I am comfortable in just boxers and a tee even at 35 deg F. Not ultralight, but it definitely is ultraplush. I love my Marmot Trestles 15F.
I was worried that I would be too hot in it, but that has not been a problem; although I have never used it above 65F.
My son has one; his friend has one. We all love 'em.

I just got my 80amp esc and a bec, I decided to install a separate bec just to make sure no servo failure will arise. When I got my bec it's different from the castle bec, does anyone know how to install this one?
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idproduct=6320 the one at castle has 3 wires that you will plug into the receiver http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...ec_wiring.html but this one has only 2. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks. |

While waiting for the motor, I decided to start building this plane. I start with the retracts, the pushrod going to the servos is rubbing against the wing former, Todd( wind of change) was right, so I shaved a few mm. of the wing former and the retracts are functioning smoothly. I changed the wheels to 2.5 in. dubro foam as the stock wheel is too bouncy, I also move the wheel well forward to fit the wheel properly. I also add a strip of balsa at the top of the retract base, the 2 screws near at the LE, now the wheel lies flat inside the wheel well. That's it for now.

We got a flier! Bob maidened his Spit today and I'm happy to report- we had both a takeoff AND a landing, with nothing but smooth in between. Rather than make you backtrack- we have a: BP A4120-7 in there with a 60A ESC, a 13 x 8 APC E prop, a 10A UBEC, and a 4S 3600 mAh Lipo. 6lbs and a couple oz's. Pulled 750 watts on static testing, and that was really more than enough for good scale flight. Not ballistic, but confident and more than adequate. Noticeable down elevator trim necessary- probably about 4 clicks from zero'd and definately noticeable when looking at the h. stab/elev. Landing was a non-event. Settled right in and sat down. Nosed over on our grass field as soon as it slowed enough for the up elevator to stop keeping the nose down as it rolled out. We concluded we need to take the plastic wheel wells out to allow for larger wheels. Our field is really rough right now, though, as the grass hasn't really started in yet and it's really more of a field of clumps. We'll get a video up soon. Tim |

10 'muggy' miles tonight
5.05 am and 6m pm takes me up to no 2 at the mo
KateF, I agree - there are definitely people in the RW team clocking up the miles (I've seen posts from them elsewhere on the site to this effect) but they're not logging their runs on the spreadsheet.
Everywhere I go I hear people moaning about what an awful summer we're having but I can't remember the last run I had when I wasn't struggling with the heat and humidity. It was hotter than a hot day in hell out there tonight, even at 8pm.
Tikka wrote (see)
Ah the competitive spirit is not in all of us Tikka im afraid.
6.11 miles done before the sun went down.
At number 29 now.
As you can see I dont have that problem.
I race stellar bodies
Sad i am
Hi all
Have just updated my log with my last 2 runs, they were only 2.50 and 3.04 miles but I have reached my taget of 90 for the month. I've only run 3 times in the last 10 days as I was tapering before last Sunday's North Downs 30k and recovering afterwards!
well done to YP and Gary F on reaching their monthly targets!
6.2M race done last night, and 4M recovery run this morning. Beaten my monthly target and got under 1 hour last night which was my target so VERY pleased with that.
Tikka & SEF - I'm not competitive really, but having entered something like this, surely you should see it through to the end???!!
Hi all,
Running a 24 hour challenge at the weekend, I'm hoping I can still log whatever milage I do before midnight tomorrow, on Sunday?
If this continues into July I should also have a good start to the month!
Good news Charlotte... I am sweeping part of the SDW course so will get a few miles in on Saturday too RW come back on the last day!? haha... that would be nice!
I'm not competitive really, but having entered something like this, surely you should see it through to the end???!!
It's not so much that some people on the team have given up, they're out there running the miles, they're just not entering them on the spreadsheet! If they did, the gap between us and FE would be a lot smaller - who knows, we might even be in the lead.
You could start a thread reminding people to update the spreadsheet - we used to do that back in the day when it was RW UK v RW USA and caught quite a few that way who'd been doing the mileage but forgotten to log the details.
15 hilly, wet and windy miles today, followed by 0.5m warm down. All safely logged too
Well i did my long run 16.03 miles but put in as run on Friday not today.
Those long runs really adle my mind and getting up at 5:30am to avoid the traffic and Saturday London crowds doesnt help
Can it be corrected?
I know it doesnt really matter but I like things straight.
Off to bed now.
sleep well young SEF for all is now good with your world !!
10.5 rather humid miles run first thing this morning, then another 5 just walked with the woofs but I can't count those
7.28m for me today- haven't logged it yet though cos I might go out again later
Thanks Bruce C
As for being young,I am reminded I no longer am everytime I see the grey hairs on my wrists while out running. Don't remember getting any memo about grey hairs on wrists. May have to file a complaint. Could you forward me His email as you seem all powerful?
Thanks again
Back out for another 5.04, so 12.32 for the day and 291.16 for the month. Target for next month= 350
WIB, that's a lot of mileage in a day
jason, that's a great total for the month as well
YP, even tho I'm fairly certain my mileage will drop in the next couple of months, I agree. These challenges help me to keep getting out.
Well done everyone!
I just about completed my target for the month, but was way below average (even the RW one!). I was getting quite competitive, though, and would have liked to do better,
What was apparent to me was the amazing runners we do have, who really push themselves. Well done, guys

Good question. Disclaimer time: I am one biased mofo. I own and drive every stinking day on a Rock Krawler 3.5" lift, and Bilstein 5100's. I love it, and it handles and rides incredibly well for what it is (a lifted Wrangler on 35" mud terrains). Their kit is great, their tech support is awesome, and their warranty is solid- you break it, they replace it- no questions asked except that if there's an awesome story involved, you send pictures Now, from what I've driven, here's the good, the bad, and the ugly: Good: Rock Krawler Teraflex Poly Performance Old Man Emu (Not that) Bad: Pro Comp Black Diamond (Slightly less)Bad: Rancho Skyjacker Superlift (yes, it's almost the same as Black Diamond, but crappier shocks) Rubicon Express The Ugly: Rough Country- wouldn't put it on my worst enemy's JK (their other stuff is vaguely passable, but their JK stuff is all fecal matter, pure and simple, especially if you wheel) For going down the road, the Pro Comp will be fine- their shocks are alright, and their stuff is pretty not bad. Personally, I say go for it- Mark W. |

Advice on Suspension lifts for a Wrangler 4 Door I need some advice....I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4 door hardtop that is a dailey driver. I am going to put 35/12.50/17 tires on it Mickey Thompson MTZ's...I am going to do a 2.5" or 3.5" suspension lift. I went to the Jeep Dealer and test drove a new one with the same set up that had a ProComp lift and it drove great but I don't like ProComp lifts. I was looking at Rubicon Express 3.5"..Anybody have any advice or pro's or Con's on lift brands. This won't be used as a hard core wheeler because we use my TJ for playing in the woods but it will go offroad some. |

The site is a part of the River Market District, and is adjacent to the Museum of Discovery, Clinton Foundation Store and the Clinton Presidential Library. Visitors to the State House Convention Center may access the grounds by choosing one of several walking routes.
The center focuses on the wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities that our state's fish and wildlife resources provide. Exhibits highlight the role of fish and wildlife management and many of the projects conducted throughout the history of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. The location along the Arkansas River allows many watchable wildlife activities within an urban area. Basking water turtles, butterflies and migrating pelicans are common sights. A portion of the Arkansas River Trail crosses the site, offering more options for exploration. The grounds of the center include beds of native plants found throughout the state, while the main building includes an exhibit hall, aquariums, gift shop, theater and special educational programs.

Do you think that the click cost would also vary from 'chosen' high profile advertisers and others? Would the chosen publishers get a higher EPC, maybe...? Also, I guess, the (list of ) sites which google may offer to advertisers would be the one appearing in TOP of google searches. Or do you think it would consider the top sites in MSN or Yahoo?
How does a publisher check that the advert he is getting is a click-type advert or a CPM ( impression type ) advert? Site Targeting
Site targeting is a new way for advertisers to select keywords and sites, and then pick and choose where their ads will appear. From a publisher perspective, if you have a high profile site, or even a quality site within a niche, you could find that advertisers are deciding to target your site specifically. However, those with less-than-quality sites could find themselves with a definite disadvantage.

Review of Desert Essence Body-Boosting Shampoo with Organic Jojoba Oil by equity
I love Desert Essence's Jojoba Oil so I picked DE's Body-Boosting Shampoo up when I was out stocking up on its Jojoba Oil. This shampoo does what it promises to do, and that is, to boost the volume of your hair. I didn't like this shampoo though, because it is rather drying on my scalp. I'm a psoriasis-sufferer (scalp), and this shampoo aggravated my condition big-time. I'll highly recommend this to anyone who wants a volume-boosting shampoo though, because it really does just that!
Other comments
As mentioned above, I'm a psoriasis-sufferer.

BLACKSBURG, Va.—
Schools and parents across the country are finding new ways to address the troubling topic of bullying, and one Virginia Tech professor is taking the message to a new audience.Anthony Perguero's research and lectures are seen and heard by hundreds of students every year at Tech, but his knowledge could also be reaching your child. If you watch the Cartoon Network with your children, you probably have seen some of his work.
Not only are your children enjoying their favorite afternoon show, but they're also be getting schooled by a college professor on bullying.
"People are starting to recognize that bullying isn't something that should be swept under the rug and taken and looked over that this is something has long last effects," said Perguero.
Perguero, an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology, said when it comes to teaching lessons on anti-bullying, the earlier you start, the better. Perguero was recruited by the Cartoon Network and its anti-bullying campaign to help keep the shows entertaining but also educational.
"A lot of us what we look at is the scientific evidence and making the consumable for not only the child, but the parents as well," said Perguero.
Perguero plays a key role in the editing and producing side of some of the Cartoon Network shows. He spends much of his time playing with scripts, ads, shows and episodes and dropping anti-bullying messages into the final product.
Perguero said it is very challenging at times to keep viewers engaged and the script inside the story plot. While the big anti-bullying messages may be seen for only a short time, they can have long last affects on the viewers.
"So when we think of it within schools how is that other kids are witnessing bullying occurring and how is that we can get other kids to intervene by telling a parent, telling a school administrator and getting them engaged and changing the culture within that school of not accepting bullying behavior,"he said.
Peguero focuses much of his research on tying the gaps between different groups of people.
Peguero recently received a grant from the National Institute of Justice W.E.B. DuBois Fellowship. It was awarded to him by Virginia Sen. Mark Warner because of his efforts to bring people and communities together.
Peguero said the grant will allow him to examine social bonds across generations of immigrant families.

Found September 20, 2012 on
Mets Merized Online:
Ryan Howard,
Chase Utley,
Hanley Ramirez,
Jason Bay,
Ike Davis,
David Wright
TEAMS: Miami Marlins, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets
TEAMS: Miami Marlins, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets
As of September 20, the Mets sit in 4th place by one game and six perentage points. Our elimination number is two and Barney Stinson is closer to smoking his next cigarette.
The only thing as equally Amazin' as our 4-23 home record post-All Star break, including 15 straight home games where we scored three runs or less, is the fact that we still sit in fourth place. Are the Miami Marlins that bad of a team that they can't win two more games than the Mets? Or have the Mets' successes away from Citi Field helped them avoid the cellar?
I think it's a little bit of both. During the first half of the season, when the Mets were sitting three games out of first, it was the Phillies who occupied the cellar and made the Marlins look like a better team. Then the All Star break came… Ryan Howard & Chase Utley returned from the DL and Giancarlo Stanton went down for the Marlins. Stanton is the only guy on their team hitting home runs (34) and bringing runners home (81 RBI).
But Jessica, ho...

Right-hander Zach Clark had a crazy week -- he went from being promoted to the majors, to pitching in his first big league game, to being designated for assignment and then finally to clearing waivers on Monday.
The 29-year-old UMBC graduate has been sent to Double-A Bowie, where he'll work on throwing a knuckleball.
After parts of eight seasons in the minors, Clark made his debut with the Orioles on Wednesday in Seattle and allowed three runs in 1 2/3 innings. He was taken off the 40-man roster to make room for Freddy Garcia.

Instead of returning to a crowded Triple-A rotation, Clark will go to Double-A and work on a knuckleball.
It's not a rarity in the organization. This spring, Hall of Fame knuckleballer Phil Niekro worked with two other Orioles minor leaguers, Eddie Gamboa and Zach Staniewicz, to improve their knucklers.
According to executive vice president Dan Duquette, Clark will report to Bowie on Thursday and will work with Niekro, who will be with the Baysox already tutoring Gamboa.
"Zach is an experienced capable pitcher and has always had a good knuckleball, which he will now throw in competition," Duquette said.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter helped convince 2012 National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey to try the knuckleball when they were together in Texas.
FoxSports.com first reported that Clark would be trying the knuckleball in Bowie.

text: The Rose and Crown Irish pub is a great way to get the 'craic' started. Take a seat in front of the fireplace on cold days, or on the large second-floor patio on sunny ones. There is live music nightly and a games room with pool tables and video games. Like its sister bar in Calgary, the Rose serves up great pub food such as steak sandwiches, shepherd's pie and tasty burgers. But beer is the big draw here, and there is a wide selection of domestic and import brews.
