Yeah, we know that the Patriots pass defense is, in terms of yardage, one of the worst of all-time in the NFL. At times, the unit has admittedly been frustrating to watch.
However, the unit has been particularly strong in the second half of games during the Patriots' eight game winning streak. The yardage numbers have been improved in the second halves of games, but more importantly, the unit is keeping points off the board.
Here's how the Patriots defense has performed in points allowed over those eight weeks (Note: I've left the Colts game out because that was the exception: the Patriots allowed 21 4th quarter points due to their "prevent"/back-up defense):
Opponent |
1st Half |
2nd Half |
9 |
7 |
3 |
0 |
13 |
7 |
20 |
7 |
16 |
7 |
17 |
7 |
21 |
0 |
The differences here are pretty dramatic. The Patriots are allowing 14.1 points per game in the 1st half in these seven games. In the second half: just 5.0 points per game. Keep in mind that, aside from the Redskins and arguably the Jets game, all of the points allowed have had little significance on the outcome of the game (they've essentially been "garbage" points).
All of this tells us two things:
- The Patriots coaching staff is doing a tremendous job making adjustments
- This defense is capable of making key plays down the stretch
Against the Bills, the Patriots second half defense was particularly dominant. They pitched a shutout, while intercepting Ryan Fitzpatrick four different times. Fitzpatrick was 20-28 in the first half, and just 9-18 in the second half. Fitzpatrick had 246 first half passing yards, compared to just 61 in the second half.
The Bills failed to score or have a drive longer than 43 yards in the second half.
Of course, the defense is going to need to get off to a better start than they have the first few weeks in the Divisional Playoffs. But there's no question that the Patriots second half defense has been impressive. So while the Patriots might have one of the statistically worst defensive units of all time, it's pretty clear that in reality, the unit isn't that bad.

Great pants for the price
These pants are great for what they cost. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered them but am pleasantly surprised. I bought these cause they were cheap and just needed a pair of pants while I'm in Korea for a year but I will be using them long after I go back home. They are very waterproof and fit great. Plenty of room to layer. The adjustable waist is great.

Great pants for the price!
I love these pants. Our ski hill stays warm, and these are perfect. Roomy enough to layer underneath. I like the strap that keeps the pants off of the ground when you walk, comes in handy after you switch shoes after riding. Great pockets, didn't lose a thing. I'm 6'1 and wear a 34 waist, and went with the large. Great fit. Straps on the inside waist to loosen or tighten the waistline, and there's belt loops as well. Could have gone medium after realizing this, but I like the baggy / roomy fit. These aren't too baggy, and like I said, I've got room to layer. Can't attest to their durability, only used them once.

The commission will identify the causes of the spill and develop options to help prevent future incidents. The spill was a result of an oil well blowout that caused an explosion 5,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf. The amount of oil spilled into the Gulf is still unknown and part of an ongoing debate, however the resulting oil slick has covered at least 2,500 square miles. The damage from the blowout is expected to be in excess of $8 billion [JURIST comment].

Google's shares have clung tenaciously near record highs after a three-month, 30% rally fuelled by rising optimism about internet advertising, but Wall Street fears it may be running out of steam.
Google stock has hovered near an all-time high of $774.38 since touching that peak on October 5. To break through that level, investors and analysts say it needs to run a gauntlet of risks that could undermine its status as technology's second-most valuable company. The most immediate concerns centre on competition in the mobile arena, which is shaping up as the main battleground for tech supremacy among Google, Amazon.com, Microsoft, Apple and Facebook.
Investors point out that Google's Android — despite being the world's most-used mobile software — has yet to yield significant revenue growth. And the company has not yet articulated a coherent strategy in the wake of its $12.5-billion acquisition in May of cellphone maker Motorola Mobility.
In the longer term, a rising wave of regulatory scrutiny both at home and abroad could represent the single biggest risk to the Google story. Regulators are looking into whether Google is competing unfairly by favouring its own properties in its core search product, and whether it inappropriately uses sensitive personal data to target ads.
To be sure, of 45 investment brokerages that cover Google, 36 rate it a "buy" or "strong buy", with the median price target standing at $845 — up another 12% from current levels — and the most bullish target at $910. Among portfolio managers, at least one maintains a $1,300-target, after factoring in Google's growing cash and securities pile.
"Their business model alone makes them an incredibly easy target for a whole bunch of legal matters," said Kim Forrest, an analyst and portfolio manager at Fort Pitt Capital Group who recently owned Google shares.
"To date they've done well managing it," Forrest said, referring to Google's interactions with regulators. "But I think it's their big risk. Most investors don't fully understand that, professionals as well as retail."
Google's run-ins with regulators over the years have invited comparisons to Microsoft and IBM, two tech giants that were once distracted and constrained by long-running

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 13 by 9-inch rectangular baking dish. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the onions and prosciutto for about 4 minutes or until the onions are wilted and slightly caramelized. Stir in the 1/2 cup parsley, shallots and mushrooms.

I assume she is Egyptian. Which would make sense considering the Earth-2 Hawks backstory. Of course Egypt is in Africa so technically she would be African-American.
My first thought was Grundy as far as recognizable. What if he's actually powered by the Starheart or an aspect of it?
Currently reading: Nova, Deadpool, Swamp Thing (probation), GLC (probation), Manifest Destiny (probation)
I knew about the Egyptian history. That's why I'm kinda surprised that no one has tried to make any of them Egyptian in an elseworld story or something before now.
Blue wings remind you of hawks?
Random stuff
White hawks exist and the females are larger than the males.
Her hair kinda looks like it's in braids and most associate braids with people of African decent, not that that means she definitely Black or anything. But from the looks of it is is most likely not White.

Cover looks great, as does the costume design. Nicola Scott should rock the Hawkgirl art, if her solid BoP run is any indication.
No (I was sure someone would said that ), but at least the would fit with the rest of the costume.
And as u noticed that white hawk does not have completely white wings, but their feathers have black tops.
PS I know I'm inquisitive with the comment on the colour of the wings, but that comes with the hobby...

After seeing/reading this and Earth 2, does anyone else wish they would start cancelling some crap books and adding more to Earth 2, and let Robinson write them to create a whole cohesive universe?
Hell I'd drop just about all the regular 52 books to get a full realized rebooted universe...
I like it alot, but the colors are throwing me off. The blue and white don't make me think 'hawk'.
Wow... I think that I will ask to my retailer to add this book on my monthly pull list...

Teen Critics Meeting: Graceling (March 2011)
Category: Teens
Location: Plaut Room
Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight — she's a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme, and in her case horrifying, skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king's thug. When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.
She never expects to become Po's friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace — or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away... a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.
Join us on Thursday, March 17 at 6:30 in the teen area for pizza and a discussion of Graceling! You'll also be able to pick up copies of our selection for April, Unwind, and help choose our book for May. Grades 7-12.

It's so stupid that The Hunger Games, which child on child violence gets away with a PG-13 rating, but god forbid a movie has a few F-Words in it, something that kids hear all the time, it gets an R rating.
It's important that this film gets a wider audience. It address an issue that affect many kids and it's an issue that needs to have its awareness raised.

This is accomplished via the construction of several pseudo-independently operating and interconnected "STEMWikis" that concentrate on specific STEM topics. The ChemWiki (http://ChemWiki.ucdavis.edu) is the pilot STEMWiki developed to demonstrate efficacy of the DTP approach.
The UCD ChemWiki was created and is currently directed by Prof. Delmar Larsen and is housed in the Larsen Lab at the UC Davis Chemistry Department. This project is a new approach toward chemistry education where a textbook environment is constantly being written and re-written partly by students and partly by faculty members resulting in a free Chemistry textbook to supplant conventional paper-based books. Anyone can view, although an account is required to edit the site modules. The ChemWiki is designed to maintain all Modules (pages of chemistry information) in the primary sections in the Core; the Wikitexts contain only class organization that is custom designed and developed for individual instructors, classes or schools. See the Development page for more details.
Each module is marked with a rating that indicates the level of difficulty or suitible class level of students that the module targets. This is not a hard and fast indication and is quite superficial at times. If you feel a Module is inaccurately marked, please contact Dr. Larsen with this information.
Content Level | Indicator Crest | Primary Target Audience |
Basic Chemistry | Chemistry for a general audience with little or no chemistry experience | |
Fundamental Chemistry | High school and Freshmen level content | |
Lower Divisional Chemistry | Sophomore and Junior content | |
Upper Divisional Chemistry | Junior and Senior Level content | |
Graduate Chemistry | Graduate Level content |
The Student Ability Rating and Inquiry System (SARIS) is a unique application that will enable the ChemWiki to present each student with reference material and review questions that are tailored to that particular student's course and skill level. The SARIS will eventually generate the required statistics to allow the chemistry department to evaluate student learning outcomes at the course and major level and once fully implemented with a feedback mechanism will allow for student specific outcome based assessments of courses or programs. The SARIS is still under construction.
A module's "Talk Page" is the behind the scenes construction page outlining reviews and comments by contributors in order to aid in the development of that specific module. Only users with account have access to a specific Module's Talk Page. When contributing to the Talk Page please make a note not to repeat past comments and recommendations.
The Dekiwiki engine we are using for the ChemWiki is built with a FCK editor that allows for module construction without having to build/edit the raw source (HTML) code directly. It has been configured for most of the needs contributors require. The layout is below; please refrain from using the advanced features in red until you are familiar with the Dekiwiki structure.
In principle yes. You are encouraged to compose your module in a text-only word processor (e.g., Notepad), or process your content through a text-only processor (via cuting and pasting). Then review your text for errors, then cut and paste the final version into the appropriate text box on the module. Some formatting characters used in programs like Word (angled quotes, accents, special characters) will not display properly. Save your edits, review your final text, and make any edits necessary to correct the format.
Each module is unique in its optimal approach. The below guidelines will help in construction and the current model format can be viewed here.

The alternative (and preferred) approach MathJax instead. MathJax and the system we use on the ChemWiki are very similar. Below are some details to help out.
I modified the page I was working on to use it (it works closer to LaxTex):
Details about it: http://www.mathjax.org/. This link http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php is an online WYSIWYG LaTeX editor that creates math expressions using templates. The LaTeX is automatically written and a preview is displayed. Just copy the code and paste it. Be sure to enclose the LaTeX in dollar signs ($).

Accounts that do not show any contributions to the ChemWiki within a reasonable timeframe (~3-6 months) are deactivated to preserve server security. If you have an account that was deactivated and you desire to have it reactivated, please contact Prof. Larsen directly. It is no trouble to reactivate an account.
In some classes students can earn extra credit by contributing to the ChemWiki. Since the grading policies varies between classes you should look for a specific information for your class. Chem 2A students at UC Davis Fall 2010 quarter can find information here.

Hi, I'm working on a tank game where the player views and controls a tank from above. I want to add some physics such as collision. When i collide with certain object i want them to respond naturally, to be rotated in a natural way etc. This video shows a similar game with the physics I want to achieve (Collision with enemy tanks and the yellow bits). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC_9rFi9Rqo I started out with a normal cocos2d Application project. Should I stick to this or choose any of the other? Any help is highly appreciated! |

Personally, I like Chipmunk because it is written in C, which I am most familiar with. It also has a good wrapper called SpaceManager. The good parts of Box2D are that it supports bullets better, but in your preview it doesn't seem like you have any super fast bullets travelling. Box2D is written in C++ so if you like that language better, it may be easier. Your game looks AMAZING though. The sounds, interface, graphics, gameplay, it all looks amazing. Quite honestly I see it in the top 10. How did you achieve the smooth scrolling around the map? |

robodude666 @robodude666 |
It's a hard choice. Anyone who uses Box2D will say it's better whilst people who use Chipmunk will say it's better. I think it ultimately comes down to which you like more. The "liking" can come in many different forms, from the languages they are both based on to functionality found within. Personally, I like Box2D. I find it to be a more established engine. It has a larger community, and thusly it's easier to find support and examples for. It's also based on C++, versus Chipmunk being based in C. I like C++ more and find it easier to work with in some cases. You can get screwed over with memory allocation easily, but if you take care of your code you'll be fine. Another major influence is that I really don't like the way Chipmunk's code looks. The "cp" prefix throws me off, and the code itself doesn't look that beautiful. While Box2D takes time to get used to, as it definitely is confusing, it's easy to work with after some experience. Then again, I'm a Box2D guy… So everything I said is biased. I'm sure a Chipmunk fan can walk in and disagree with everything I've said. Again, it ultimately comes down to what YOU like. Try both. Create example projects for both engines, look through the test and example files. Search for tutorials: Which engine has blogs/articles that might be able to help you out the most? Try to see yourself typing that code out yourself: Is it comfortable? Can you invision yourself writing that from scratch? Just play around, and you'll find the engine that's right for you. -robodude666 |

That's not my game, it's just a similar game, as I mentioned before Thanks for the tip! I will look into Chipmunk because I'm not familiar with c++. |
June 4, 2010 at 3:05 pm #285345 | |
Nyvaken @nyvaken |
Thanks Robodude, I will google them both, try some example and see which of them fits my project best. |
June 4, 2010 at 3:41 pm #285346 | |
JonKean @jonkean |
I'm a fan of Chipmunk, but mostly because I'd much rather deal with C than C++. I agree that you should check out both, play the their sample code, and go with the one that feels the most intuitive to you. |
June 4, 2010 at 4:07 pm #285347 | |
liquidfire Participant @liquidfire |
@Nyvaken Oops I probably should have read your post better. Like I and others have said, it basically comes down to C versus C++. Robo is right, Box2D is more mature and has more examples though. I still would advise looking into SpaceManager though. |
June 4, 2010 at 4:10 pm #285348 | |
Nyvaken @nyvaken |
I have now successfully changed my project to a Chipmunk project. Everything works as usual and i've been eyeing some Chipmunk code now for an hour. As I understand it, I have to make 3 things for every object: A sprite, a body and a shape. Is this correct? I also assume that the static void eachShape(void *ptr, void* unused) method is what I will have to work with the most. Im having trouble using my own variables inside this method. It says they are undeclared. |

bradparks Participant @bradparks |
seems like you've picked chipmunk… did you take a look at Spacemanager? it's a very very nice wrapper around chipmunk that makes it way easier to setup/manage, IMHO with Objective C / Cocos2d specific functionality… it's managed by @mobilebros that's constantly on these forums too… basically, since your still early in your integration efforts, i'd suggest checking it out, big time! |

In case you do go the SpaceManager route, here's a lil blog post from this site discussing a quick example. |

Abstract: An infrared hot-electron transistor (IHET) 5 × 8 array with a common base configuration that allows two-terminal readout integration was investigated and fabricated for the first time. The IHET structure provides a maximum factor of six in improvement in the photocurrent to dark current ratio compared to the basic quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP), and hence it improved the array S/N ratio by the same factor. The study also showed for the first time that there is no electrical cross-talk among individual detectors, even though they share the same emitter and base contacts. Thus, the IHET structure is compatible with existing electronic readout circuits for photoconductors in producing sensitive focal plane arrays.

The city announced Monday that former judge Debra Wong Yang found five voters were not city residents and two others did not properly mail in their ballots for the June 5 election.
Candidate Reno Bellamy had received 30 votes for the City Council seat, and Luz Martinez received 27. The tossed votes made Martinez the winner, but Yang's findings must be approved by the City Council.
It is not the first disputed election in Vernon, an LA industrial suburb of about 100 people, which has seen scrutiny since three ex-officials were convicted of misusing public funds.

Influence of DPH on the Structure and Dynamics of a DPPC Bilayer Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 5, 1 May 2005, Pages 3398-3410 Jarmila Repáková, Juha M. Holopainen, Michael R. Morrow, Mark C. McDonald, Pavla Čapková and Ilpo Vattulainen Abstract We have conducted extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations together with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to quantify the influence of free 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) fluorescent probes on the structure and dynamics of a dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer. Atomistic MD simulations show that in the membrane-water interface the influence of DPH is minor, whereas in the acyl-chain region DPH gives rise to major perturbations. In the latter case, DPH is found to influence a wide range of membrane properties, such as the packing and ordering of hydrocarbon tails and the lateral diffusion of lipid molecules. The effects are prominent but of local nature, i.e., the changes observed in the properties of lipid molecules are significant in the vicinity of DPH, but reduce rapidly as the distance from the probe increases. Long-range perturbations due to DPH are hence not expected. Detailed DSC and 2H NMR measurements support this view. DSC shows only subtle perturbation to the cooperative behavior of the membrane system in the presence of DPH, and 2H NMR shows that DPH gives rise to a slight increase in the lipid chain order, in agreement with MD simulations. Potential effects of other probes such as pyrene are briefly discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (264 kb) |
Lessons of Slicing Membranes: Interplay of Packing, Free Area, and Lateral Diffusion in Phospholipid/Cholesterol Bilayers Biophysical Journal, Volume 87, Issue 2, 1 August 2004, Pages 1076-1091 Emma Falck, Michael Patra, Mikko Karttunen, Marja T. Hyvönen and Ilpo Vattulainen Abstract We employ 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations to study the influence of cholesterol on structural and dynamic properties of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers in the fluid phase. The effects of the cholesterol content on the bilayer structure are considered by varying the cholesterol concentration between 0 and 50%. We concentrate on the free area in the membrane and investigate quantities that are likely to be affected by changes in the free area and free volume properties. It is found that cholesterol has a strong impact on the free area properties of the bilayer. The changes in the amount of free area are shown to be intimately related to alterations in molecular packing, ordering of phospholipid tails, and behavior of compressibility moduli. Also the behavior of the lateral diffusion of both dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol molecules with an increasing amount of cholesterol can in part be understood in terms of free area. Summarizing, our results highlight the central role of free area in comprehending the structural and dynamic properties of membranes containing cholesterol. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (535 kb) |
Molecular Simulation Study of Structural and Dynamic Properties of Mixed DPPC/DPPE Bilayers Biophysical Journal, Volume 90, Issue 11, 1 June 2006, Pages 3951-3965 Sukit Leekumjorn and Amadeu K. Sum Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to study structural and dynamic properties of fully hydrated mixed 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE) bilayers at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100mol % DPPE. Simulations were performed for 50ns at 350K and 1 bar for the liquid-crystalline state of the mixtures. Results show that the average area per headgroup reduces from 0.65±0.01nm2 in pure DPPC to 0.52±0.01nm2 in pure DPPE systems. The lipid tails become more ordered with increasing DPPE concentration, resulting in a slight increase in membrane thickness (3.43±0.01nm in pure DPPC to 4.00±0.01nm in pure DPPE). The calculated area per headgroup and order parameter for pure DPPE deviates significantly from available experimental measurements, suggesting that the force field employed requires further refinement. In-depth analysis of the hydrogen-bond distribution in DPPE molecules shows that the amine groups strongly interact with the phosphate and carbonyl groups through inter/intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This yields a bilayer structure with DPPE headgroups preferentially located near the lipid phosphate and ester oxygens. It is observed that increasing DPPE concentrations causes competitive hydrogen bonding between the amine groups (hydrogen-donor) and the phosphate/carbonyl groups or water (hydrogen-acceptor). Due to the increasing number of hydrogen-donors from DPPE molecules with increasing concentration, DPPE becomes more hydrated. Trajectory analysis shows that DPPE molecules in the lipid mixtures move laterally and randomly around the membrane surface and the movement becomes more localized with increasing DPPE concentrations. For the conditions and simulation time considered, no aggregation or phase separation was observed between DPPC and DPPE. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (506 kb) |

Antimicrobial peptides have gained a lot of interest in recent years due to their potential use as a new generation of antibiotics. It is believed that this type of relatively short, amphipathic, cationic peptide targets the bacterial membrane, and destroys the chemical gradients over the membrane via formation of stable or transient pores. Here we use the NMR structure of cyclo(RRWWRF) in a series of molecular dynamics simulations in membranes at various peptide/lipid ratios. We observe that the NMR structure of the peptide is still stable after 100ns simulation. At a peptide/lipid ratio of 2:128, the membrane is only a little affected compared to a pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine lipid membrane, but at a ratio of 12:128, the water-lipid interface becomes more fuzzy, the water molecules can reach deeper into the hydrophobic core, and the water penetration free-energy barrier changes. Moreover, we observe that the area per lipid decreases and the deuterium order parameters increase in the presence of the peptide. We suggest that the changes in the hydrophobic core, together with the changes in the headgroups, result in an imbalance of the membrane and that it is thus not an efficient hydrophobic barrier in the presence of the peptides, independent of pore formation.

** spoiler alert **
Wow. Though I must say reading all these hints about its being controversial and superbly clever did help me figure out who the murderer was - admittedly quite late, at the beginning of the chapter where the revelation is made. When Poirot said it must have been someone who had been there that night, and did NOT say "someone from the family," I immediately thought it was the narrator. I would never have dreamt it could have been him (at least not until Poirot mentioned that the murder must have had something spacious to hide the voice recorder in) if I hadn't read about this book being so special. So my rule from now on - no info of any sort prior to starting a detective novel. I was still shocked though. Amazingly clever book.

Emergencies If there is a life-threatening or time-critical emergency, telephone triple zero (000). It is the quickest way to get help from either the police, fire brigade or ambulance service. Calls to triple zero (000) are free and can be made from fixed line phones, mobile phones and public pay phones.For help in situations of floods, severe storms and earthquakes, telephone the SES (State Emergency Service) on 132 500. For emergency help with poisonings and suspected poisonings, telephone the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. A handy general portal for safety and emergency information is available from the Safety Victoria web site. Non-emergencies Crime incidents that don't require immediate police attendance should be reported to your local police station.If you have information about a crime, contact Crime Stoppers Victoria or phone 1800 333 000. Reports can be made anonymously (by phone or online) and will be sent to the appropriate police department. Bushfires The Victorian countryside is prone to bushfires during the warmer months of the year, particularly on days of extreme heat, low humidity and strong wind. Such conditions often result in the declaration of days of total fire ban which prohibits the lighting of fires in the open air and other activities that could cause a fire to spread.For current bushfire warnings and information:
Weather conditions Victoria's weather can be quite changeable. Before planning outdoor activities, it is worthwhile to check for any relevant weather warnings. See the Bureau of Meteorology's Victorian Weather & Warnings which has current information and forecasts for extreme weather conditions including strong winds, floods and storms. Water conditions Water quality at bay beaches around Port Phillip are monitored for bacteria levels which may make them unsuitable for swimming. Bacteria levels may increase if heavy rains wash pollutants into the bay through drains and waterways. Consult the EPA Beach Report for latest reports and forecasts between November and March.For information about water quality in the Yarra River, consult Melbourne Water and EPA Yarra Watch for latest reports and forecasts between December and March. Dangerous animals Victoria has only a few animals that may be of danger to people, and the risk they pose is reasonably low.

Nearly three years after bolting from IMG, his longtime management company, Agassi, who earns more than $20 million annually in prize money, endorsement income and other fees, seems comfortably ensconced at SFX.
"The representation we have received from SFX is the most professional we have ever received," said Perry Rogers, Agassi's childhood friend and manager, in perhaps a not-so-subtle jab at IMG.
That representation is led by Ivan Blumberg, an SFX consultant, Lewis and Ken Meyerson, head of the company's tennis group.
"Jeff, Ivan and I met in [Washington] D.C. last week," Rogers said, talking in late August during the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. "Our communication is constant."
But it is still primarily Rogers, who also now works with Shaquille O'Neal, who calls the shots. When Deutsche Tele-kom wanted to use Agassi and his new wife, Steffi Graf, in an advertisement for its cellular phone company, it was Rogers who got the call.
So is Agassi, who is the only active tennis player on SFX's roster not managed directly by its tennis division, a client in name only, a trophy catch for marketing purposes?
Absolutely not, Rogers said, though he ended up speaking on SFX's behalf because Blumberg and Lewis did not return calls seeking comment on their client (it was Rogers who offered the anecdote about Lewis' contribution to the Agassi school).
Rogers said that SFX is very busy putting together Agassi's schedule and events. A Miami exhibition this month with Andy Roddick, another SFX client, benefited the Agassi foundation.
And Agassi's participation in the St. Petersburg Open in late October, complete with handsome appearance fee, came through Meyerson, Rogers said.
He also pointed to a DVD that SFX recently developed for Agassi to market him to potential sponsors, and said there are several major deals brewing.
Since arriving at SFX, Agassi has added Schick, Deutsche Telekom and, just recently, Kia Motors to his stable of endorsements, which includes Nike, Head and Canon cameras.
Rogers wouldn't comment on reports that SFX paid $10 million to entice Agassi to defect from IMG, though people close to SFX and Agassi have always said that was not true.
Asked if SFX was making money off Agassi, Rogers demurred, instead saying the company was receiving revenue from the relationship.

The Nor'easter blew in Wednesday and blanketed the region in snow. In Oceanside, Long Island wet, heavy snow rested on tangled power lines and leaning trees Thursday. The community, still reeling from Hurricane Sandy now has about 6 inches of snow to deal with. Many residents still do not have electricity and have no idea when it is coming back on."We've called several times. We get different answers each time we call. First time was 90 percent of Long Island would be up by yesterday evening, which is not true. Now we're hearing it could be up to two weeks, which would take us into Thanksgiving," said Oceanside resident Andrew Horn.
"It's just a terrible lack of communication between LIPA and the customers. Nobody's come out here, nobody's talked to us and we're very frustrated at this point," said Horn, a resident of Bunker Drive.
As of Thursday morning more than 200,000 Long Island Power Authority customers still did not have electricity. LIPA had said it was working toward restoring 90 percent of its customers by Wednesday night. That clearly did not happen.
"It's beyond cold -- it's dangerous," said Horn's neighbor, Steve Rubin. "My mother-in-law is living with me because she got displaced. She's 70-something-years-old. She's freezing. We got 16 blankets on my kids."
LIPA told PIX 11 News that approximately 8,000 crews were out working to restore power Thursday. But as the utility assesses the damage from the Nor'easter combined with Sandy damage, it would not give a new time table for power restoration.
The lucky people who have had generators since Sandy are able power some heat and lights in their homes in shifts. But the gasoline that is needed to power the generators is still hard to get, especially near Oceanside in Nassau County.

if you cant survive things people say to you in training trying to teach you something you dont have any business in this job....
I DO KNOW ONE THING, I WOULD NOT WANT A PERSON LIKE THIS AS A PARTNER IN MY RADIO CAR. in the academy, as a recruit, you keep your eyes open and your mouth shut unless asked. This learning institution has been going on alot longer than this kid has been alive. And this guy was a decorated Marine?
Bump ssu459! Everyone knows a THICK skin is an important part of the LEOs arsenal!
So WHY does Boston have its collective bloomers in a bunch? The Ring Ding Dirty Water Course has a practical basis. 10 Ring Dings provide needed carbs for 1 lonnnng foot chase through 15 muddy slum yards while folks hurl invectives and throw garbage from their windows. How sad all the Academy had to resort to mere spray bottles of dirty water.
The RDDW course should have been supplied with Boston cream pies and PROPER mud pits!
What do think will happen when they graduate and hit the streets? If they can't take a little ribbing now, they certainly will not survive the streets...
Bump! Suck it up. However, anything beyond the norm is unacceptable!

Teasing,harassment etc. has been going on in many occupations since the beginning of time.There is a difference,at times between hazing,teasing and harassment.ALL the branches of the armed forces do it,all law enforcement agencies,fire depts. and yes even the construction trades do it.It is done specifically in the Armed forces and law enforcement agencies to test the males to see,quite frankly if they "have a pair" and to the women recruits to see if they will stick it out and endure.99% of us stick it out,live through it and later laugh about it later.I would much rather see a recruit being given the treatment rather than seeing him laying on the ground crying or running when some Jack a$$ is getting the best of him.I am aware that some hazing may be beyond the threshold.but this is extremely rare.

We are all Jet fans
I'll leave it at that
Root for ALL the players
and ALL the coaches too

Modern fans root for themsleves and not the team. Many on this board who proclaim that Player X sucks would rather that player eventually fail, and be right about their prediction, than see that player succeed and be proven wrong.
I was not a fan of Sanchez coming out of college. Didn't hate him or love him (much like the way i feel about Geno), but once he put on the green and white I wanted him to succeed and to be honest I still want him to succeed. Personally, i think he is broken but that doesn't stop me from rooting for him.
Some on this board can't root for players like Sanchez because then they have tied themselves to a sinking ship and will then look foolish when Sanchez eventually butt-fumbles again.
Any updates on the punting battle?
Conversely, some "fans", in order to defend their own personal Sanchez-Christ, have to de facto denounce and deny every other player on the team as bad and sucky.
Those fans don't root for the Jets. They root for Sanchez.
Happened with Pennington too.
I'll be clear, I don't think mark Sanchez is a pro-quality QB, nor do I believe he will prove himself to be going forward.
BUT....if he proves me wrong, and plays great and wins and leads us to the post-season on HIS play, not being carried by the RB and D like he was in years 1 and 2, I'll be the first here to say "I was wrong" and congratulate and thank Sanchez for his toughness in proving his doubters wrong and succeeding.
The Sanchezites.....well, we all know the vast majority of THEM will simply convert to being Smithites if Sanchez fails. After all, they were the same guys who were Pennngtonites before that, and O'Donnelites before that, etc, etc, etc. For every failed QB, they'll be fans who refuse to accept his failure as his own, and will blame everyone else for it.
I support whomever is suited up on Sundays for the Jets. If Sanchez is on the field, I'll root for him.
Some of us realize that when you draft a qb that high, it is in the best interest of your team for said qb to work out. If he does not, your team is in trouble. I can only speak for myself, but that is the reason why I have rooted for Sanchez.
The disservice the franchise did to itself was hiding him in plain sight the first two years. It gave some the impression that we had a talented youngster whereas in fact we had an inaccurate waste of time essentially whose shortcomings were hidden by a top-3 defense and really really good running game.
The key here is not that Sanchez is bad. The key here is that he has ALWAYS been bad. The statistics bear this out especially after drops and QB pressures are eliminated from the numbers. It is not htat we gave him weapons and then took them away again. He has always been awful and it is just that it was revealed in plain sight for everyone to see once when we asked him to start winning games for us. If that is his mandate again this year then he will once again be bad for the 5th year in a row.
Personally I think the benefits of a bad Sanchez outweigh the risks of putting Smith into the fire too early and possibly ruining him.
Because I want the team to go in a different direction than the downward spiral we have been on, helmed by MS, I'm not a fan. WRONG! That makes me a true fan, in that I want the best for this team realizing that this year may be sacrificed in order to achieve something greater in the future. MS did what he could here, he may go somewhere else and prove his worth out of the spotlight but in NYC it may be too bright for him. It's like the Yankee syndrome: They get this expensive player(J.Weaver) and he sucks in NYC gets traded and then reverts to a good player
Dude. I go back to the Richard Todd/Matt Robinson Qb battle. I rooted as a 10 year old for both to do well, and today I root for BOTH GenoJet and Mark to do great things. It's better for the Jets if they are, and their choice is a difficult one.
There's no converting btw, you simply root for the friggin player that's in the game. Cool story though...
Except only one can play, so they can't both do great things.
You can only have one QB on the field.
By the way, why do you seem to think my reply to Revischrist was aimed at YOU specificly, so much so you have to provide your fan resume? No one called you out unless you fit my descriptions.

Nationals hosting tryouts for racing presidents
February 18, 2012 - 09:01 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Nationals are hosting a second round of tryouts for positions as the team's four presidential mascots.
Saturday's tryouts are by invitation only. The team's four mascots are the presidents found on Mount Rushmore: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
To qualify, potential mascots have to be able to wear a costume weighing about 45 pounds for several hours. They also have to be able to run from center field to home plate in 40 seconds. That's because since 2006 the presidents have raced against one another in the fourth inning.

The pressure is still on the Timken Co. to split up.
The Canton steel and bearings maker's largest shareholder continues to push the company to separate into two.
Shareholders would best be served with one independent business focusing on steel making and another on Timken's bearings-related interests, said activist shareholder Relational Investors LLC and its partner, the large public pension fund California State Teachers' Retirement System, or CalSTRS. The two investors own 7.3 percent of Timken shares; Relational has 6.9 percent.
The two California entities last week issued a document, including a copy of a letter to Timken's board, saying Timken shares are undervalued. Relational and CalSTRS last year announced that they believed shareholders would benefit if Timken spun off its steel unit. A spinoff of the steel operations would boost stock prices, they said.
The two sent a letter on Feb. 19 to Timken restating their case and criticizing current management.
Timken, meanwhile, issued a short statement saying its leadership team believes the current company structure works best.
The company statement in its entirety says:
"All of Timken's board members are committed to continuing to act in the best interests of shareholders. We engage with shareholders regularly and have met twice with representatives of Relational to share our perspective on their proposal. As noted previously, the board and management have carefully evaluated with input from outside advisers separating the steel and bearing businesses. We continue to believe the company has significant cost, technology and revenue synergies between its bearing and steel businesses, as well as diversification benefits in continuing to operate under its current structure. The loss of these benefits, as well as a potential reduction in financial flexibility, would largely offset any near-term valuation increase that might result from a separation of the businesses at this time."
Timken shares on Monday fell $1.73 to $52.52. Shares are up 10.5 percent, including dividends, since Jan. 1 and are up 1 percent from a year ago.
Relational Investors said spinning off Timken's steel business "should not disrupt the Canton community or Timken's employees. The Timken name and Canton headquarters can and should survive with both businesses operating as independent entities." Separating the businesses may result in additional employment, Relational's letter said.
Two separate companies would still have amply funded pensions and be able to pay for capital expenses, Relational's letter said.
The investors also said that Timken has a history of poor corporate governance.
"The Timken family holds three of 11 board seats; the $9 (million) compensation received by executive Chairman Ward Timken Jr. is grossly out of line with other executive chairmen in Timken's peer group," the Relational letter said.
Timken "effectively" pays to have two chief executives: Ward Timken and CEO Jim Griffith, the letter said. The letter to the board directly addressed Ward Timken and said, "In fact, the excessive compensation you received can be used to substantially offset the cost of adding a second executive team."
Timken in January said it expects revenue this year to be down about 5 percent from the nearly $5 billion the company had in 2012. Timken earned $495.5 million, or $5.07 a share, on revenue of $4.99 billion last year.
Institutional shareholders, including pension funds, hedge funds and investment advisers, own 81.3 million shares, or nearly 85 percent of Timken stock. About 2.8 percent of Timken shares are owned by corporate insiders; the Timken Foundation is the company's third largest shareholder with 5.3 percent of outstanding shares, according to the latest available information.
Timken's annual shareholders meeting typically is scheduled for the second Tuesday in May.

With about 50 feet of the road eroded, flaggers are directing traffic. They'll stay put, seven days a week and 24 hours a day, until the road can be repaired.
Oregon 6, which was also hit by rain, will stay closed at least until late today or early Wednesday as the clean up continues after a large slide closed the highway at milepost 6.2 early Sunday.
Utility companies are also working on power and phone lines that were damaged and the Oregon Department of Transportation is assessing the slope stability before the road is opened. The best alternative routes are U.S. 26 and Oregon 18.
