How is thyroid cancer diagnosed?
Thyroid cancer may be diagnosed after a person goes to a doctor because of symptoms, or it might be found during a routine physical exam or other tests. If there is a reason to suspect you might have thyroid cancer, your doctor will use one or more tests to find out. Signs and symptoms might suggest you have thyroid cancer, but you will need tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Signs and symptoms of thyroid cancer
Prompt attention to signs and symptoms is the best way to diagnose most thyroid cancers early. Thyroid cancer can cause any of the following signs or symptoms:
- A lump in the neck, sometimes growing quickly
- Swelling in the neck
- Pain in the front of the neck, sometimes going up to the ears
- Hoarseness or other voice changes that do not go away
- Trouble swallowing
- Trouble breathing
- A constant cough that is not due to a cold
If you have any of these signs or symptoms, talk to your doctor right away. Many of these symptoms can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions or even other cancers of the neck area. Thyroid nodules are common and are usually benign. Still, if you have any of these symptoms, it's important to see your doctor right away so the cause can be found and treated, if needed.
Medical history and physical exam
If you have any signs or symptoms that suggest you might have thyroid cancer, your health care professional will want to know your complete medical history. You will be asked questions about your possible risk factors, symptoms, and any other health problems or concerns. If someone in your family has had thyroid cancer (especially medullary thyroid cancer) or tumors called pheochromocytomas, it is important to tell your doctor, as you might be at high risk for this disease.
Your doctor will examine you to get more information about possible signs of thyroid cancer and other health problems. During the exam, the doctor will pay special attention to the size and firmness of your thyroid and any enlarged lymph nodes in your neck.
The actual diagnosis of thyroid cancer is made with a biopsy, in which cells from the suspicious area are removed and looked at under a microscope. However, this might not be the first test done if you have a suspicious lump in your neck. The doctor might order other tests first, such as blood tests, an ultrasound exam, or a radioiodine scan to get a better sense of whether you might have thyroid cancer. These tests are described below.
If your doctor thinks a biopsy is needed, the simplest way to find out if a thyroid lump or nodule is cancerous is with a fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid nodule. This type of biopsy can usually be done in your doctor's office or clinic.
Before the biopsy, local anesthesia (numbing medicine) may be injected into the skin over the nodule, but in most cases an anesthetic is not needed. Your doctor will place a thin, hollow needle directly into the nodule to aspirate (take out) some cells and a few drops of fluid into a syringe. The doctor usually repeats this 2 or 3 more times, taking samples from several areas of the nodule. The biopsy samples are then sent to a lab, where they are looked at under a microscope to see if the cells look cancerous or benign.
Bleeding at the biopsy site is very rare except in people with bleeding disorders. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have problems with bleeding or are taking medicines that could affect bleeding, such as aspirin or blood thinners.
This test is generally done on all thyroid nodules that are big enough to be felt. This means that they are larger than about 1 centimeter (about 1/2 inch) across. Doctors often use ultrasound to see the thyroid during the biopsy, which helps make sure they are getting samples from the right areas. This is especially helpful for smaller nodules. FNA biopsies can also be used to get samples of swollen lymph nodes in the neck to see if they contain cancer.
Sometimes an FNA biopsy will need to be repeated because the samples didn't contain enough cells. Most FNA biopsies will show that the thyroid nodule is benign. Rarely, the biopsy may come back as benign even though cancer is present. Cancer is clearly diagnosed in only about 1 of every 20 FNA biopsies.
Sometimes the test results first come back as "suspicious" or "of undetermined significance" if FNA findings don't show for sure if the nodule is either benign or malignant. If this happens, the doctor may order tests on the sample to see if the BRAF or RET/PTC genes are mutated (changed). Finding these changes makes thyroid cancer much more likely, and may also play a role in determining the best treatment for the cancer.
If the diagnosis is not clear after an FNA biopsy, you might need a more involved biopsy to get a better sample, particularly if the doctor has reason to think the nodule may be cancerous. This might include a core biopsy using a larger needle, a surgical "open" biopsy to remove the nodule, or a lobectomy (removal of half of the thyroid gland). Surgical biopsies and lobectomies are done in an operating room while you are under general anesthesia (in a deep sleep). A lobectomy can also be the main treatment for some early cancers, although for many cancers the rest of the thyroid will need to be removed as well (during an operation called a completion thyroidectomy).
Imaging tests
Imaging tests may be done for a number of reasons, including to help find suspicious areas that might be cancer, to learn how far cancer may have spread, and to help determine if treatment is working.
People who have or may have thyroid cancer will get one or more of these tests.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of parts of your body. For this test, a small, wand-like instrument called a transducer is placed on the skin in front of your thyroid gland. It gives off sound waves and picks up the echoes as they bounce off the thyroid. The echoes are converted by a computer into a black and white image on a computer screen. You are not exposed to radiation during this test.
This test can help determine if a thyroid nodule is solid or filled with fluid. (Solid nodules are more likely to be cancerous.) It can also be used to check the number and size of thyroid nodules. How a nodule looks on ultrasound can sometimes suggest if it is likely to be a cancer, but ultrasound can't tell for sure.
For thyroid nodules that are too small to feel, this test can be used to guide a biopsy needle into the nodule to obtain a sample. Even when a nodule is large enough to feel, most doctors prefer to use ultrasound to guide the needle.
Ultrasound can also help determine if any nearby lymph nodes are enlarged because the thyroid cancer has spread. Many thyroid specialists recommend ultrasound for all patients with thyroid nodules large enough to be felt.
Radioiodine scan
Radioiodine scans can be used to help determine if someone with a lump in the neck might have thyroid cancer. They are also often used in people who have already been diagnosed with differentiated (papillary, follicular, or Hürthle cell) thyroid cancer to help show if it has spread. Because medullary thyroid cancer cells do not absorb iodine, radioiodine scans are not used for this cancer.
For this test, a small amount of radioactive iodine (called I-131) is swallowed (usually as a pill) or injected into a vein. Over time, the iodine is absorbed by the thyroid gland (or thyroid cells anywhere in the body). A special camera is used several hours later to see where the radioactivity is.
For a thyroid scan, the camera is placed in front of your neck to measure the amount of radiation in the gland. Abnormal areas of the thyroid that have less radioactivity than the surrounding tissue are called cold nodules, and areas that take up more radiation are called hot nodules. Hot nodules usually are not cancerous, but cold nodules can be benign or cancerous. Because both benign and cancerous nodules can appear cold, this test by itself can't diagnose thyroid cancer.
After surgery for thyroid cancer, whole-body radioiodine scans are useful to look for possible spread throughout the body. These scans become even more sensitive if the entire thyroid gland has been removed by surgery because more of the radioactive iodine is picked up by any remaining thyroid cancer cells.
Radioiodine scans work best if patients have high blood levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, or thyrotropin). For people whose thyroid has been removed, TSH levels can be increased by stopping thyroid hormone pills for a few weeks before the test. This lowers thyroid hormone levels and causes the pituitary gland to release more TSH, which in turn stimulates any thyroid cancer cells to take up the radioactive iodine. A downside of this intentional hypothyroidism is that it can cause symptoms like tiredness, depression, weight gain, sleepiness, constipation, muscle aches, and reduced concentration. Another way to raise TSH levels before a scan is to give an injectable form of thyrotropin (Thyrogen®), which does not require withholding thyroid hormone.
Because any iodine already in the body can affect this test, people are usually told not to ingest foods or medicines that contain iodine in the days before the scan.
Radioactive iodine can also be used to treat differentiated thyroid cancer, but it is given in much higher doses. This type of treatment is described in the section, "Radioactive iodine (radioiodine) therapy."
Chest x-ray
If you have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer (especially follicular thyroid cancer), a plain x-ray of your chest may be done to see if cancer has spread to your lungs.
Computed tomography (CT) scan
The CT scan is an x-ray test that produces detailed cross-sectional images of your body. It can help determine the location and size of thyroid cancers and whether they have spread to nearby areas, although ultrasound is usually the test of choice. A CT scan can also be used to look for spread into distant organs such as the lungs.
A CT scanner has been described as a large donut, with a narrow table in the middle opening. You will need to lie still on the table while the scan is being done. CT scans take longer than regular x-rays, and you might feel a bit confined by the ring while the pictures are being taken.
Instead of taking one picture, like a regular x-ray, a CT scanner takes many pictures as it rotates around you while you lie on the table. A computer then combines these pictures into images of slices of the part of your body being studied. A CT scan creates more detailed images of the soft tissues in the body than a standard x-ray.
Before the test, you may be asked to drink a contrast solution or receive an IV (intravenous) line through which a different contrast dye is injected. This helps better outline structures in your body. The injection may cause some flushing (a feeling of warmth, especially in the face). Some people are allergic and get hives. Rarely, more serious reactions like trouble breathing or low blood pressure can occur. Be sure to tell the doctor if you have any allergies or have ever had a reaction to any contrast material used for x-rays.
In some cases, a CT scan can be used to guide a biopsy needle precisely into a suspected area of cancer spread. For a CT-guided needle biopsy, you remain on the CT scanning table, while the doctor advances a biopsy needle through the skin and toward the mass. CT scans are repeated until the doctor can see that the needle is within the mass. A biopsy sample is then removed and looked at under a microscope.
One problem with using CT scans for differentiated thyroid cancer is that the CT contrast dye contains iodine, which interferes with radioiodine scans. For this reason, many doctors prefer MRI scans instead of CT scans.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
Like CT scans, MRI scans can be used to look for cancer in the thyroid, or cancer that has spread to nearby or distant parts of the body. But ultrasound is usually the first choice for looking at the thyroid. MRI can provide very detailed images of soft tissues such as the thyroid gland. MRI scans are also very helpful in looking at the brain and spinal cord.
MRI scans use radio waves and strong magnets instead of x-rays. The energy from the radio waves is absorbed and then released in a pattern formed by the type of body tissue and by certain diseases. A computer translates the pattern into a very detailed image of parts of the body. A contrast material called gadolinium is often injected into a vein before the scan to better show details.
MRI scans take longer than CT scans – often up to an hour. You may have to lie inside a narrow tube, which can upset people with a fear of enclosed spaces. Newer, more open MRI machines can sometimes be used instead. The machine also makes buzzing and clicking noises that you may find disturbing. Some centers provide earplugs to block this noise out.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
For a PET scan, a radioactive substance (usually a type of sugar related to glucose, known as FDG) is injected into the blood. The amount of radioactivity used is very low. Because cancer cells in the body grow quickly, they absorb more of the sugar than normal cells. After waiting about an hour, you lie on a table in the PET scanner for about 30 minutes while a special camera creates a picture of areas of radioactivity in the body.
This test can be very useful if your thyroid cancer is one that doesn't take up radioactive iodine. In this situation, the PET scan may be able to tell whether the cancer has spread.
PET scan images are not finely detailed like CT or MRI images, but a PET scan can look for possible areas of cancer spread in all areas of the body at once. Some newer machines are able to do both a PET and CT scan at the same time (PET/CT scan). This lets the doctor compare an abnormal area on the PET scan with its detailed appearance on the CT.
Blood tests
Blood tests alone can't tell if a thyroid nodule is cancerous. But they can help show if the thyroid is working normally, which may help the doctor decide what other tests may be needed.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Tests of blood levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH or thyrotropin) may be used to check the overall activity of your thyroid gland. Levels of TSH, which is made by the pituitary gland, may be high if the thyroid is not making enough hormones. This information can be used to help choose which imaging tests (such as ultrasound or radioiodine scans) to use to look at a thyroid nodule. The TSH level is usually normal in thyroid cancer.
T3 and T4 (thyroid hormones)
These are the main hormones made by the thyroid gland. Levels of these hormones may also be measured to get a sense of thyroid gland function. The T3 and T4 levels are usually normal in thyroid cancer.
Thyroglobulin is a protein made by the thyroid gland. Measuring the thyroglobulin level in the blood can't be used to diagnose thyroid cancer, but it can be helpful after treatment. A common way to treat thyroid cancer is to remove most of the thyroid by surgery and then use radioactive iodine to destroy any remaining thyroid cells. These treatments should lead to a very low level of thyroglobulin in the blood within several weeks. If it is not low, this might mean that there are still thyroid cancer cells in the body. If the level rises again after being low, it is a sign that the cancer could be coming back.
Calcitonin is a hormone that helps control how the body uses calcium. It is made by C cells in the thyroid, the cells that can develop into medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). If MTC is suspected or if you have a family history of the disease, blood tests of calcitonin levels can help look for MTC. This test is also used to look for the possible recurrence of MTC after treatment. Because calcitonin can affect blood calcium levels, these may be checked as well.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)
People with MTC often have high blood levels of a protein called carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Tests for CEA can sometimes help find this cancer.
Other blood tests
You might have other blood tests as well. For example, if you are scheduled for surgery, tests will be done to check your blood cell counts, to look for bleeding disorders, and to check your liver and kidney function.
Other tests
Vocal cord exam (laryngoscopy)
Thyroid tumors can sometimes affect the vocal cords. If you are going to have surgery to treat thyroid cancer, a procedure called a laryngoscopy will probably be done first to see if the vocal cords are moving normally. For this exam, the doctor looks down the throat at the larynx (voice box) with special mirrors or with a laryngoscope, a thin tube with a light and a lens on the end for viewing.

Visitors who may not have made a return trip to the Botanical Center since the opening will discover a stunning new stained glass feature in the south--facing Atrium on the lower level.
Actually a series of interior panels that convey various scenes at the gardens, the window is the creation of Robin Coulter Crabb. She crafted the work in just five weeks.
Robin has been creating stained glass for more than a decade. Her creations can be found in area churches, businesses and even homes. Private donations through Friends of the Garden paid for her latest creation.
While there is nothing fancy about where she works at home, Robin has plans for a studio. Knowing just the right quantities, colors and textures of glass and where to find them is crucial to each piece. So is painting the features on her creations, which can range from Biblical characters to hummingbirds, butterflies and birds. In fact, the tiny Monarch caterpillar crawling amongst the plants in one of the lower left panels was her inspired solution to an inevitable "oops." You can see more examples of her incredible creations of her work at robinsneststainedglass.com.

Rubidium compounds: rubidium fluorideThe rubidium in rubidium fluoride formally is in the oxidation state 1. Rubidium fluoride
Physical properties
SuppliersComing soon... Element analysis
SynthesisOne way to make rubidium fluoride is to react the hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid. The resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization. RbOH(aq) + HF(aq) → RbF(aq) + H2O(l) Rubidium(I) fluoride can also be made by the neutralization of rubidium(I) carbonate with hydrofluoric acid (in a platinum vessel since HF reacts with glass). The resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization. Rb2(CO3)(aq) + 2HF(aq) → 2RbF(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) While not a normal route of preparation because of the expense, rubidium metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form rubidium halides. So, it burns with fluorine, F2, to form rubidium(I) fluoride, RbF. 2Rb(s) + F2(g) → 2RbF(s) Solid state structure

Everything My Kid Needed to Know About Chess He Learned in Washington Square
My 9-year-old son Jamie is obsessed with chess. I taught him a few basic moves at 5, and then he went on to chess club, summer camp and now, tournaments. All that formal training made him a competent player, but didn't teach him the strategy and anticipation so vital to winning. Those things he learned from a bunch of chess hustlers in Washington Square.
Jamie's residency in the West Village's scrappy chess scene began about a year ago, when he asked if he could play a game with the guys one day on our way home from school. He sat down gamely in front of Dwight, a soft-spoken man in a Seventh Day Adventist windbreaker. Dwight waited half way through the game before he started coaching Jamie. His two pieces of advice: don't move the queen out too early and keep control of the center. Jamie pocketed the advice, gave Dwight "a donation" and was immediately hooked. Read More

Tonight's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings doesn't carry the same amount of vitriol that it did in 2011 or 2010. That's partially because the Wings didn't stick around in the playoffs long enough to get beat by the Coyotes in 2011-12, and partially because the Los Angeles Kings have charged up the standings of Coyotes fans' most hated team. Regardless, this will be a solid matchup between two teams with a lot to prove.
Detroit is trying to prove that they're still a perennial playoff team, despite losing Nicklas Lidstrom to retirement and losing out on his presumptive replacement, Ryan Suter, to the Minnesota Wild. They certainly looked like their old selves recently, with two consecutive road wins over the Anaheim Ducks. Their 16-11-5 record is good enough for 5th in the jam-packed West, and they are seven points ahead of the Desert Dogs in the standings.
Phoenix has a couple of reasons to be optimistic going into this game. Detroit played a hard fought game against Anaheim last night, and have played five of their past six away from Joe Louis Arena. The Coyotes also had a four game break in their schedule, time that Dave Tippett used to practice the team first style that has given the Coyotes tremendous success for four years now. If there was a game for the Coyotes to play a solid 60 and get back on track, this one seems like the game.
Five For Winning
1. Score First - For the past couple of games Coyotes fans were simply happy when they scored, but the reality is they play so much better when they have a lead. If they can jump on the Red Wings early, they might be able to get back in the win column.
2. Help the Netminder Out - Mike Smith and Jason LaBarbera have not played terrible hockey in the past month or so, they just aren't getting much support. Keep the crease clear, keep shooting lanes open, and keep the play at the other end of the ice to give whoever starts in net an easier time.
3. Shut Up and Play - As much as the fans like the drama and the conflict that emerged from the controversial plays between the Kings and Canucks, the Coyotes need rhythm a lot more. Try and avoid the penalty box and keep the extracirriculars to a minimum and just play hockey.
4. Keep the Power Play Going - Radim Vrbata's return already appears to be showing dividends, as the Coyotes lodged a power play goal Thursday night. The passing and shot selection has looked much better; if the Desert Dogs can make good choices on the power play and hold the offensive zone, they will really tire out the Detroit defenders and keep some of their top scorers off the ice.
5. Avoid Mistakes - It doesn't take much for someone like Pavel Datsuyk to make a brilliant play or two. The Coyotes can't allow that to happen in this one. Don't take unnecessary chances, make the simple play, and stick to your assignments.
Players to Watch
With the retirement of Lidstrom, Kronwall has become the go-to guy on defense, and has been producing solid numbers for Detroit. Phoenix would like nothing more than to make his life difficult tonight.
If there's one guy the Coyotes would like to get going again, it's Radim Vrbata. Despite missing nearly half the season thus far with foot injuries, Vrbata is still tied for 6th on the team in points. This would be a good time for him to add a couple more tallies in the goal column.
Projected Starting Goaltenders
Mike Babcock stated after last night's game against Anaheim, 'Monster' would be starting tonight against Phoenix. Gustavsson hasn't seen much time for the Detroit this season. This could potentially be good news for the Coyotes, as Gustavsson has looked anything but solid in his appearances with the team.
While it doesn't sound like Mike Smith will be out for long, it does sound like he won't be in net for the Coyotes tonight. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since Jason LaBarbera has played extremely well in his last few appearances, and his individual stats are much better than his win/loss record reflects.
Injury Report
Detroit has had their fair share of injuries this year. Todd Bertuzzi is likely out for the rest of the season with back issues, defenseman Kyle Quincey is expected to undergo surgery for a fractured cheekbone sustained March 15th against the Oilers, center Darren Helm is not with the team on this trip because of back problems, and Mikael Samuelsson is out indefinitely with finger issues. Carlo Colaiacovo has been on IR since January with a shoulder injury, and though he was activated last night in Anaheim he was kept out of the lineup. It's conceivable that he could play tonight.
Phoenix still has injuries to contend with too. David Moss and Zbynek Michalek remain questionable for tonight's game with lower body injuries, and the aforementioned Mike Smith is day-to-day with what is in all likelihood concussion-like symptoms, though Dave Tippett doesn't believe this is likely to be a long-term injury.
Puck Drop
Tonight's game is going to be sold-out, so if you don't have a ticket, you can catch the game at 7PM on Fox Sports Arizona or XTRA 910 AM.

Stay. On. Schedule.
When Vanderbilt is involved, the team that better stays out of passing downs typically wins. You could say this about most teams, I assume, but it is doubly important against a Vandy team that a) stinks on passing downs and b) makes sure opponents also stink on passing downs. It's not as if Mizzou's offense needs any help performing poorly on such downs, of course.
Next week, for my Varsity Numbers column at Football Outsiders, I'm going to look at third down success rates, but I'm not going to simply look at how frequently you convert on third downs, but I'm also going to look at how teams set up their third downs.
There's a difference, of course. A team that faces mostly third-and-1's or third-and-2's will almost certainly have a better third down conversion rate than those facing third-and-7's or third-and-8's. (The team facing mostly third-and-1's and 2's also probably has a better offense, but I digress.) But in one of my favorite Varsity Numbers columns a couple of years ago, I listed as one of the "truths" of college football data that Leverage Rate -- your ability to stay in standard downs and avoid passing downs -- gives us what we think we get from third-down conversion rate.
This is probably a less obvious truth. Announcers and coaches talk endlessly about how games are won and lost on third downs, and it is absolutely true. But it is also without context. Some defenses, particularly young ones, give up far too many demoralizing third-and-8 conversions. But most of the time, a team that allows a high third-down conversion rate is doing so because they're giving up too many yards on first and second down, and their opponent is converting third-and-3 instead of third-and-8.
The difference in the level of success on standard downs and passing downs is staggering. If you have a significant talent advantage -- always possible in college football -- you might be able to get away with falling into passing downs. But the team that wins is the team that better avoids passing downs. That is why Leverage Rate is included atop the Varsity Numbers box scores I analyze (now on Tuesdays). If your Leverage Rate is too far below the national average of 68 percent, then your quarterback better be Colt McCoy (who was truly a magician at converting third-and-7 and, it appears, masked some serious, developing deficiencies for Texas on the offensive side of the ball) or you are probably going to struggle to win.
Mizzou's full-season leverage rate (68 percent) is right around the national average, which suggests that the Tigers' third-down conversion rate shouldn't be as bad as it actually is. And looking at the conversion rate according to yards-to-go, however, shows us that Mizzou's third down problem indeed goes beyond simply falling into too many third-and-longs.
On third-and-short (two or fewer yards), you are supposed to convert about two-thirds of the time. This season, Mizzou is converting about half the time. On third and nine or more, you are supposed to still have a 25-30 percent chance of converting. Mizzou almost never converts. Whatever you feel like blaming, you are probably at least partially correct. Offensive coordinator David Yost almost never makes the right play-call in third-and-long situations, but that's probably because there is no correct play to call when your line cannot even pretend to hold off speed rushers and your starting quarterback is dealing with some shoulder issues. Meanwhile, on third-and-short, the play-calling for every team in the country is going to be rather bare-bones, and Mizzou's struggles in this regard have to be at least partially attributed to an iffy offensive line facing defensive lines like Georgia's (who stopped Mizzou on a late fourth-and-short) and South Carolina's (ditto). UCF also had some success in stopping Mizzou on third-and-short. It would be easy to attribute this to "toughness" or "the spread stinks in short-yardage," but the simple fact is that short yardage really hasn't been a problem for Mizzou in recent years. It is this year.
But hey, Mizzou's pretty awesome on third-and-6 and third-and-7. So there's that.
This is going to be an ongoing problem, of course. While we should expect improvement from the line (and from James Franklin), you don't suddenly go from poor to good. And against Vanderbilt, expect the third-and-long issues to continue. But it isn't too much to ask for Mizzou's line to get at least a bit of a push against an active-but-pushable Vandy defensive line on third-and-short.
It really is going to be vital that Mizzou keep things in second- and third-and-manageable, both because of Mizzou's passing downs issues and Vandy's own defensive strengths. You can run the ball on the Commodores, and hopefully Mizzou will do just that. Because when you have to pass, Vandy shuts you down.
Of course...
...Vandy also cannot convert passing downs either. The Commodores basically have two receivers and a quarterback who gets sacked quite a bit. Mizzou absolutely, positively cannot let Vandy off the hook on passing downs. Shut drives down when you get the chance, and it is hard to see Vandy scoring enough to win this game, even if (when) the Mizzou offense shows some inconsistency.
"Jimmie Hunt is a shrewd, shrewd man."
My favorite quote from yesterdays' DGB arrest reaction is also a bit of a call to arms to the second string of Missouri's receiving corps. Dorial Green-Beckham's suspension hurts Mizzou's overall ceiling, but it obviously doesn't do much for the Tigers' down-to-down offense. DGB just wasn't getting that many targets yet. But in terms of simple reps, his absence will open the door for players like Bud Sasser and Jimmie Hunt to get a few more reps. Hunt is incredibly dangerous on the rare opportunity that he gets his hands on the ball; if he gets another touch or two in DGB's absence, he might be able to steal some more touches down the line. Regardless, DGB's suspension is also a reminder that Mizzou needs a better game from the receiving corps than it got last Saturday. No drops, please. And if James Franklin wanted to get T.J. Moe and L'Damian Washington a little more involved, I wouldn't complain. I like Marcus Lucas, but I like him more as a No. 2 target or co-No. 1, not as a far-and-away No. 1.
Vandy Targets And Catches
Player | Targets | Catches | Catch% | Target% | Rec. Yds. | Yds. Per Target |
Jordan Matthews (WR) | 39 | 26 | 66.7% | 42.4% | 395 | 10.1 |
Chris Boyd (WR) | 27 | 15 | 55.6% | 29.3% | 285 | 10.6 |
Josh Grady (WR) | 7 | 5 | 71.4% | 7.6% | 71 | 10.1 |
Jonathan Krause (WR) | 7 | 3 | 42.9% | 7.6% | 11 | 1.6 |
Zac Stacy (RB) | 3 | 2 | 66.7% | 3.3% | 52 | 17.3 |
Wesley Tate (RB) | 3 | 2 | 66.7% | 3.3% | 22 | 7.3 |
Brian Kimbrow (RB) | 3 | 1 | 33.3% | 3.3% | 2 | 0.7 |
Warren Norman (RB) | 1 | 1 | 100.0% | 1.1% | 9 | 9.0 |
Fitz Lassing (FB) | 1 | 1 | 100.0% | 1.1% | 7 | 7.0 |
Steven Scheu (TE) | 1 | 1 | 100.0% | 1.1% | 3 | 3.0 |
You almost never see a receiving corps in which two players account for over two-thirds of the team's targets. But here we are. Jordan Rodgers (or Austyn Carta-Samuels, if he ends up playing) is going to look to Jordan Matthews first, Chris Boyd second, and a running back third. (Of course, the 'Dores also aren't going to pass very much unless they have to. They will ride running back Zac Stacy as far as he and the line will take them.) Matthews and Boyd are both a bit on the all-or-nothing side, but both are capable of some impressive "all" plays -- Matthews' long reception of the year is 78 yards (against South Carolina), and Boyd's is 60. Mizzou can afford to give up one big play on Saturday, but with more than one, things might get dicey.
Spread: Mizzou -7
F/+ Pick: Mizzou by 10.5
Honestly, If Mizzou and Vandy played at Faurot Field 10 times, Mizzou would probably win about seven or eight of them by an average of 10 points or so. And the gut says Mizzou wins by about 14 on Saturday (hey, the gut was right last week, right?). But there really isn't as much margin for error as one would prefer here. If the same offensive mistakes that set Mizzou back last week persist, and the Tigers are facing a lot of second-and-11 or third-and-9 situations, then while it is difficult to see Vandy scoring too many points, it is also difficult to see Mizzou scoring many. This is a game Mizzou fans should expect to win, but the paranoia factor will be off the charts until they do so.
A Quick Glossary
F/+ Rankings: The official rankings for the college portion of Football Outsiders. They combine my own S&P+ rankings (based on play-by-play data) with Brian Fremeau's drives-based FEI rankings.
Field Position %: The percentage of a team's plays run in their opponent's field position. National average: 43%.
Leverage Rate: A team's ratio of standard downs to passing downs. National average: 68%. Anything over 68% means a team did a good job of avoiding being leveraged into passing downs.
Passing Downs: Second-and-7 or more, third-and-5 or more.
PPP: An explosiveness measure derived from determining the point value of every yard line (based on the expected number of points an offense could expect to score from that yard line) and, therefore, every play of a given game. National average: 0.32.
S&P: Think of this as an OPS (the "On-Base Plus Slugging" baseball measure) for football. The 'S' stands for success rate. The 'P' stands for PPP, an explosiveness measure that stands for EqPts Per Play. S&P is measured for all non-garbage time plays in a given college football game. Plays are counted within the following criteria: when the score is within 28 points in the first quarter, within 24 points in the second quarter, within 21 points in the third quarter, and within 16 points (i.e. two possession) in the fourth quarter. For more about this measure, visit the main S&P+ page at Football Outsiders. National average: 0.747. Standard downs S&P average: 0.787. Passing downs S&P average: 0.636.
Standard Downs: First downs, second-and-6 or less, third-and-4 or less.
Success Rate: A common Football Outsiders tool used to measure efficiency by determining whether every play of a given game was successful or not. The terms of success in college football: 50 percent of necessary yardage on first down, 70 percent on second down, and 100 percent on third and fourth down. National Average: 42%.

Every Picture Tells a Story
Back in 2010 I had the pleasure of participating in an art exhibition premised on the Greek notion of ekphrasis,which is essentially a written representation of a piece of art, a response of sorts. Stare at a picture long enough and a story may well take shape. If not a story, then a poem maybe. […]

Things to Improve:
Full Review:
this is a great head for attack. I have been using this head and i believe its the best head on the market
B-Ballah23 - Houston - 3/15/2011
pinch scoop sidewalls nice shot speed
i would like it to be a little stiffer
best head i have had.
tjw - maryland - 4/29/2011
Weight, pinch, scoop
maybe more stringing holes
Great head! My new favorite head better that Super Power! Its super light and is great for middies and attack.
Matt - New York - 4/20/2012
I like the scoop and I like the pinch of the head
A little bit stiffer
It is a awesome head
Mmc - Evanston Illinois - 7/31/2012
Price Narrow throat
Has terrible hourglassing
Good head for the price but the ball gets stuck very quickly
Jake - Latham, New York - 5/23/2013
price durability pinch
this head is amazing and the price is awesome i might pick up another
Mike Hawk - San Fransicso, CA - 5/26/2013
I love this head the scoop is amazing and the pinch of the head is perfect
Pinch is good, great scoop. Looking for a second version of this head with more sidewall holes and a face-off-legal version of this head.
Christian - Richmond, Virgina - 6/8/2013
Pinch, light weight, PRICE, barely any offset, very flexible
This head at the price is such a steal. Just enough stringing holes and the fact that it has little to no offset makes it really nice.
Joseph - Florida - 8/5/2013
pinch shape flexibility/durability
more sidewall holes
AMAZING head for the price. This is the best head out there for this price. I absolutely love it. I like the way it is strung right now but it would be nice if there were a couple of extra sidewall holes to add some options. and make them a little bigger, it was hard to get two sidewall strings through one hole.
Hunter Maloney - Longwood, FL - 10/27/2013
weight, face shape, flexability, price
great head for attack and middie. cant beat it for the price

Review: Compress files from CDs with ease using ECM for Mac
Users working with large CD image files may need a program to compress them for easier use and transfer. Despite having few options, ECM for Mac performs this function well, and would be a welcome option for these users.
As with other apps available through Apple's official store, the download and installation of ECM for Mac completed easily without any user input required. Upon startup, the program's basic interface did not require any user instructions, which was a good thing since none appeared to be available. Technical support for updates did appear to be present. To load files … Read more

Welcome to Science Forward, designed to connect you with news and insights about science innovation and education from the vantage point of Connecticut's Science Center.
Diving in to Make a Difference
Bubbles, ripples, rivers and waves — with all their allure and power. It's little wonder that Leonardo da Vinci said that: "Water is the driving force of
nature." That's the idea behind the H2O theme of this year's Green Gala. On October 20, Science Alley will be transformed into a grand water-themed oasis, celebrating both the driving force of water, and the organizations whose
generosity is the driving force behind the Connecticut Science Center's work. More than 40 area companies, including top sponsors UTC, UnitedHealthcare and Travelers, have stepped forward...
Million+ Served
In the three short years since the Connecticut Science Center opened, it has brought the world of science alive to more than 1 million people. The Science Center celebrated its one millionth person s
erved on Aug. 14 – a true milestone for the organization. Equally good news is that visitorship is up sharply this year.
Fifty percent more people made the Science Center a summertime destination compared to last year. Year-to-date, the overall number of people visiting is up 24 percent.
In fact, attendance has exceeded goal in every month of 2012...
Envisioning the Future
The Vanguard of Innovation. When 25,000 people flock to downtown Hartford on Saturday, Sept. 29 for EnvisionFest, the Connecticut Science Center will be at the forefront of
showcasing the capital city's spirit of innovation. EnvisionFest, a daylong event produced by The iQuilt Partnership, is designed
to enlighten people about the city's grand transformation into a destination of walking, culture and innovation...
Awards for STEM Partners
Inquiring Minds Gain Top Honors
In May, Science Forward wrote about the winning partnership between the
Connecticut Science Center and Hartford's STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School. The two organizations have been working together since 2010 to transform how
educators engage students more actively in learning. Since then, faculty members
have received more than 220 hours of direct professional development training from the Science Center. Two exciting honors in recent weeks make us revisit STEM at Annie Fisher once again in this issue
Partner Spotlight: Robots
New robots take center stage, thanks to partners First Niagara, Scientist Tim Gifford, and two anonymous foundations. When you enter Science Alley this fall, one of the first "staff members" you'll see is humanoid, but not human, and utterly charming as well as educational and on the cutting-edge of robotics science. Opening Oct. 4, Robot Humanoid is among the Science Center's newest permanent exhibits, sponsored by the First Niagara Bank Foundation. It features a 2-foot-tall robot programmed to interact with the public with software developed by local company Movia Robotics, a spinoff company from... READ MORE >

Since 2000, Time Limo has blended the attentive care of a small family business with the resources and professionalism of a much larger production. Their skilled drivers safely maneuver Lincoln Town Cars, Cadillac Escalades, and Chevy Suburbans through the streets of San Diego and surrounding regions at all hours, seven days a week. The contemporary luxury cars and SUVs, each meticulously maintained to preserve a new-car smell into their golden years, cushion bottoms with plush leather seats and afford panoramic views of the skyline through long windows. Though chauffeurs devote a large chunk of their time to corporate transportation, their services encompass everything from airport transfers to prom trips to quick getaways for bailing prom chaperones.
Terramoto offers clients convenient and environmentally friendly transportation services that allow travelers to quickly get around town without lugging luggage on a tandem bike or alarming neighborhood dogs with an ostrich rickshaw. Boasting a hybrid fleet of leather-lined Toyota Prius and Highlander vehicles, Terramoto provides transportation services that are more comfortable than taking a taxi and safer than hopping off an overpass onto a bus roof. All vehicles are driven by experienced professionals, who provide limousine-quality service with unmatched friendliness and refreshingly casual amiability. After scheduling a pick-up time, customers and their luggage or collection of preserved-insect specimens will be transported anywhere in San Diego County. Additionally, Terramoto helps save the environment by planting a tree after every trip with a donation to Plant a Billion.
With private car services in cities across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia, Uber Technologies is dedicated to whisking its customers to their destinations in comfort. Clients request rides through Uber's online form or from their iPhone, Android, or quick-winged carrier pigeon. They are then soon steered in luxury toward their desired location in a sleek black automobile.
Situated a mere shuttle ride from San Diego International Airport, Aladdin Airport Parking's garage keeps cars well tended to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Motorists can cruise into self-parking spaces and bid private goodbyes to their cars before flights, or leave them in the hands of a trusty valet so they have more time to enjoy coffee and check updated flight specs in the air-conditioned business center. Soft-ride, high-ceilinged shuttles orbit the garage every eight minutes, stopping to scoop passengers up for quick rides to their terminals. Thanks to the onsite detail center, arriving passengers can return to cars so clean they will have forgotten about their requests for souvenir hubcaps. Aladdin Airport Parking is equipped with parking spaces for people with disabilities, and ADA-compliant buses are always available.
San Diego's Park, Shuttle & Fly's fenced-in parking lots house automobiles and monitor them with 24-hour surveillance as their owners are whisked to San Diego International Airport via 24-hour shuttles. Travelers can safely leave their vehicles behind in the parking lot's fenced, well-lit confines for three, five, or seven days as they cruise promptly to the airport on the free shuttle. While patrons are gallivanting about, an eagle-eyed staff attends to the cars at all hours to protect them from theft, vandalism, or breaking into fights over how many miles they've put on. Whether returning from a business trip in the wee hours of the morning or arriving in the middle of the night from a window-washer convention, customers can retrieve their four-wheeled steeds with access to the lot 24 hours per day. Upon arrival back at the airport, travelers may call and expect prompt shuttles to scoop them up and escort them to their cars.
In the cerulean blue waters around Mission Beach, jet-powered craft cut through the waves. Affordable Jet Ski's staff members set customers loose at the helm of a three-seat, 1,100cc Yamaha VX 110, a four-seat, 1,200cc Yamaha SUV, or a Sea Doo jet ski—which enables its pilot to ride standing for higher visibility or sitting to dodge low-flying UFOs. They also supply jet boats, whose 270-horsepower twin engines propel drivers and six passengers through the water. Staffers ensure that all their customers can reach the water by providing a tow vehicle with each rental, and can also lead tours of the area for those unfamiliar with its waters.

Tweeted By An Angel: Hunter Learns While Trout Fishes
If you are the kind of fan that can't get enough of their favorite Angel player, then Twitter sure is for you. Several of the Halo players are active Twitter users and the things they say, well, let's just say that they lie somewhere between insightful and inane. Let's take a look at what the Angels are tweeting this week!
Torii Hunter is older and wiser - @toriihunter48 It felt good to be back on the field tonite. I think I better stop fighting those walls for a while. I lose that battle every time. Gr8 win!
- I think Hunter qualifies as a slow learner if it took him 35 years to figure out that the wall always wins.
Mike Trout loves irony - @Trouty20 Fishing !
- Does that technically make Trout a cannibal?
First round pick CJ Cron is already on Twitter - @CCron24 Almost to 500. Get me there people!
- The ink on his contract isn't even dry and he is already whoring for followers. I have to say, the kid is a quick learner.
Michael Kohn doesn't like traffic - @MichaelKohn58 Only I'n LA is there traffic @ 1 I'n the afternoon.
- Hey, Mike, how about you just be happy you're in LA and not Salt Lake?
...and finally, we save the best for last. Every week, we're going to play a little game called "What the hell is Angels prospect Chevez Clarke tweeting about?" If you don't follow Chevy... don't. He might be insane. His tweets consistently make no sense and always seem to be one sentence from the middle of a conversation, only he isn't talking to anyone. So, without further adieu, here are a few of Chevy's "unique observations."
@OfficialChevy It was packed like booty hair tonight
@OfficialChevy My cab driver cross eyed af.. I'm nervous then a....
- Can someone please make sure that Chevy is taking his medication? And if he isn't prescribed any, take him to a doctor. NOW.

Anger not enough of a platformJuly 13, 2013Whether or not you agree or disagree with President Barack Obama, you have to admit he has managed to stir the pot.

They were ONLY angered when it was under 2 dollars a gallon because BUSH was our leader. Hypocrites. Dems prove they are on a daily basis. They only gripe and complain when it's a conservative leader. Obama's administration has done NOTHING to drop gas prices even though OBAMA and you supporters CLAIMED that our President BUsh COULD control gas prices when he was president.

The price tanked briefly because the economy tanked and the gasoline that was produced to fuel the summer driving season wasn't selling since most of the country didn't have vacation money.

Do I have to enter my credit/debit card details when I sign up?
To sign up to our annual subscription, we will require your billing information, including your credit/debit card details.
Can I share my mobile apps with someone else?
Yes, The Telegraph iPhone and Android app are available on two phones per account. This means that you are free to share the access to the apps with a family member or friend. Simply enter your Telegraph Login on their device for access.
Do I receive a Subscriber Privilege Card when I subscribe?
No, only subscribers to The Telegraph Print and Digital Packs are entitled to a Subscriber Privilege Card.
How do I log in to the Telegraph website?
To log in, simply click on the 'Log in' button in the top right hand corner on the website home page. You will then be prompted to enter your email address and password (your Telegraph Login), after which you can enjoy your unlimited access.
How will I know when I have reached my monthly limit?
A message will appear on your screen once you have reached your monthly limit. At this point you will be invited to subscribe.
Can I access the Telegraph website with this subscription pack when I'm abroad?
Yes, once you have subscribed, simply enter your Telegraph Login (the email address and password you create when you subscribe) to enjoy unlimited access to the website when you are abroad. The 'Log in' button can be found in the top right-hand corner of the website.
Will I need to log in each time I open The Telegraph website?
When you log in to telegraph.co.uk for the first time, you will be given the option to tick a box that says: 'Remember me'. Ticking this will ensure that your details will automatically be remembered for the next 28 days, meaning that you do not have to log in each time you want to access more than 20 articles on the website. The only exception to this is if you have logged in and your system remains idle for more than 30 minutes, in which case the system will automatically log you out. This provides added online security for you in the event that you are away from your computer for an extended period of time. Please note that if you are working on a public or shared computer you are advised not to check the 'remember me' box, again for your online security.
If I return to an article I have already read, does that count towards my article limit?
If you re-read an article that you have previously viewed while you are logged in during the same session, it will not count towards your monthly limit. However, if you log out and log back in again and read the same article, it will count as an additional article.
Does every page I click on count towards my monthly 20-article limit?
No, certain pages - such as the home page and section pages - are excluded from the monthly limit and can be viewed an unlimited amount of times.
