Ross Investigators PC, Private Investigation Located in Denver, Colorado
Getting it puts you in control.
If you have someone who can dig it up
and lay it out so you can see what it can do for you, youll never be in the dark again.
The problem:
Everything from operating a business to litigating a case to managing a relationship is harder if youre in the dark. Information is the power of light. But getting it can be difficult. It's often not clear whats available, where it is, or how to access it. And sometimes getting the information is just half the battle. Analyzing documents and figuring out what they say can be just as important as getting your hands on them.
Worst of all, those with competing interests are trying just as hard to keep you in the dark, hindering investigations and sometimes they bring far more resources to the table. A misstep - even a short delay - can be costly. Sometimes your interests are sabotaged without you even knowing it. Sometimes the damage is to the bottom-line. Sometimes your legal case is ruined. All too often, recovery is long and painful.
You can search by yourself and hope for the best. Or you can get someone with a track-record of digging up critical information and years of investigation experience on your side.
The Solution:
The central strategy of Ross Investigators is to investigate, collect and analyze as much information as possible as quickly as possible, so that its clients are in the best possible position to make the best and most-informed decisions. There are no guarantees except one: if you wait until information lands in your lap, you leave yourself or your clients at the mercy of people and forces who often don't care one whit whether you survive, much less succeed. Our detective and investigation services can help you stay a step ahead. Ross Investigators offer our PI services to the greater Denver CO area as well as the Colorado Front Range.

Former teacher takes part in ITV campaign 'From the Heart'
6:20pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
A COURAGEOUS young woman has taken part in a national television campaign by explaining how she desperately needs a double lung transplant.
Sam Yates has lent her support to the ITV campaign 'From the Heart' which aims to raise awareness of the need for more people to sign up to the NHS Organ Donor Register.
The 27-year-old former primary schoolteacher was visited by a film crew in the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, where she is currently being treated. She gave an interview about the reality of life on the transplant list.
She said: "My hope is that the campaign increases the number of people signing up to the organ donation register.
"However, I also believe that having a widespread national campaign will hopefully correct any misconceptions people may have about organ donation, as well as breaking down the taboo of discussing the subject.
"Ultimately, it would be great to see a campaign like this reduce the amount of time people have to wait on the transplant list."
As previously reported in The Gazette, Sam, who lives in Preston Candover with her husband Luke, suffers from cystic fibrosis, meaning that her lungs are deteriorating and have been classified as 'end-stage'.
A double lung transplant will not 'cure' Sam of the condition, or even guarantee adding many more years to her life, but it is the one thing that could dramatically increase her quality of life.
She has been on the transplant list for more than three years and in that time has had to endure three heart-breaking false alarms, when she was told organs were available but they were later discounted.
Sam said: "From my own experience, there are just not enough organ donors out there. I think it's just so important to raise awareness."
Sam was set to appear on ITV Meridian news and was told she may also feature on a special programme, called From the Heart, to be broadcast from 8pm. The ITV campaign is running all this week.

State environmental regulators said Thursday that they have cited Duke Energy for violating the conditions of a wastewater permit.
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources said Duke Energy pumped an estimated 61 million gallons of wastewater from two coal ash impoundments at the company's Cape Fear Steam Electric Plant to a tributary of the Cape Fear River.
An environmental group called Waterkeeper Alliance had provided WNCN with photographs that appeared to show Duke Energy crews pumping water from coal ash ponds into streams that led into the Cape Fear River. WNCN reported that information Sunday. DENR officials told WNCN then that its inspectors had discovered the pumping last week. The agency couldn't say at the time if the visit was prompted by the photos or not.
Duke Energy said Sunday the crews were simply doing routine maintenance to lower water levels.
"The pumps in question are temporary installations used to lower the water level in the ash basin in order to perform maintenance on equipment in the basin," said spokesman Jeff Brooks. "This maintenance activity is allowed under our permits and the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources is aware that this work is occurring."
But on Thursday, DENR issued Duke Energy a notice of violation for the permit violations after saying state officials discovered during a March 11 inspection.
The pumps and attached hoses were set up in the ash impoundments, DENR said, but were not operating when state officials visited the plant last week. The pumping equipment has since been removed.
DENR said the March 11 visit to the Cape Fear plant was part of its inspections of all Duke Energy's facilities with coal ash impoundments after a Feb. 2 coal ash spill at the Dan River plant.
DENR said Duke Energy is allowed to discharge treated wastewater from the ash ponds into the canal through vertical spillway pipes, known as risers. The coal ash impoundments and risers at the Cape Fear plant provide physical treatment that allows heavier, more concentrated ash residuals to settle to the bottom of the impoundments over time. But DENR said its investigation revealed that the pumping activities bypassed the riser structures and accelerated the drawing down of the impoundments so much that the impoundments no longer properly function as treatment systems.
"We were notified by phone in August that Duke Energy intended to conduct routine maintenance work at these ash ponds," said Tom Reeder, director of the N.C. Division of Water Resources. "The state's investigation revealed that the pumping activities on-going at this plant far exceeded what would reasonably be considered routine maintenance."
Coal ash is produced when coal is burned to generate electricity.
DENR, in its news release, said that as much as 61 million gallons of wastewater was pumped from two coal ash impoundments constructed in 1978 and 1985 into the on-site canal that empties into an unnamed tributary and eventually into the Cape Fear River.
By law, DENR said, the state agency can issue civil penalties for violations of state environmental laws but is required to give the company time to respond to the notice of violation. DENR requested that Duke Energy provide the state with a written response within 30 days of the notice of violation.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- With just over a month to go, the Salvation Army's Tree of Lights Campaign has collected 43 percent of its $1.6 million goal.
The Campaign runs through January 31, but red kettle donations will only be accepted through Christmas Eve.
Officials said money is not the only way you can help them reach this year's goal
"We're really encouraging people if they're looking for a way to help our Christmas campaign is to sign up to ring bells either the 23rd or 24th," said Salvation Army Assistant Developmental Director Rich Draeger.
This past Saturday, the Salvation Army hosted their 19th Annual Bears Packers Kettle Challenge.
The Packers won, collecting $314 in their green and yellow kettles.
But for those Bears fans, a rematch is scheduled for Christmas Eve.
Bell ringers will be outside the East Peoria Bass Pro Shops from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A fresh start.
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii & Wii U Lobby' started by A-K-A, Aug 26, 2012.
Its gotta be Mewto I just know it. Zoroark will be cooler then Gensect. Mewto and Zoroark in roster.
That huge gap underneath Fox, Pikachu and Bowser on smashbros.com makes me think that another new character is going to be announced soon. Thinking maybe Zelda, Lucario/Mewtwo or Sonic because Wind Waker HD, Pokémon X and Y and Lost World are coming soon. Miis are still a possibility since Wii Party U is coming, but I wouldn't be excited about that happening.
And @ the post above, Animal Crossing is a big franchise, but I don't think there is any need for both characters. Likewise, Punch-Out!! is popular, but Little Mac and King Hippo? Doubt it. As for Duck Hunt Dog or King Hippo, I'd say neither.
Here's My "45" Roster update!
Disclaimer: I'm fully aware it makes more sense to have Lucario, but Zoroark is my own little personal choice here, it's certainly not impossible, but I'm sort of doing it out of preference and so that Wolf isn't the only Nintendo character to be removed.Though It could happen (I hope it does, I can hope can't I?)
Veterans: 31
Newcomers: 14
New Semi-Clones: 1
Females: 10 (including Villager)
(For all you people who think Ridley is essential, I don't see why he's anymore essential than the last 3 installments and we already have 2 Metroid reps.)
You should add characters because they are important to the representation of their series, not just because it's a popular franchise. And Duck Hunt Dog is a bad idea TRUST ME!
CalumG, let me explain (Even know I've told BluePikmin 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, FUCKING times and he refuses to listen): People put in Tom Nook because they can't except that Villager got in over him. Villager is basically "Mr. Animal Crossing" I say that because like Mr. Game & Watch, the avatar of the game is used and represents the entire series by having a move set of everything you do in the series rather than something unique to his specific character, this makes it unnecessary to have any other character represent the game. Tom Nook is like having Mr. Game & Watch and then adding the Chef from "Chef" as a clone of him or using abilities to ONE specific portion of the game which is clearly not Sakurai's intention. It's stupid and pointless, you might as well add Young Link alongside Toon Link.
Blue Pikmin likes to act like the Furniture is somehow important to representation. If it was Villager would have Furniture and I doubt you can make a decent move set out of fucking furniture. It's just an excuse for him to keep Tom Nook.
Other than the above point, I like your roster, the only thing I'd personally change is adding Wolf again. He was actually much more unique in comparison to Fox than when comparing Falco to Fox, and of course is an important character to the StarFox franchise. With him the SF franchise is pretty much well rounded in representation, why remove him?
Right, a roster with 3 FE Characters, but no Ike? Let me check my logic detector.........beep......beep........NO LOGIC DETECTED. (well, ya can't argue with the logic detector )
To be honest there's always the fact that Zoroark would add a newcomer Pokemon as well as a dark type and she's pretty popular. But, Lucario makes way more sense and has more requests and advertising so I don't see it happening. I'd really like to see Zoroark replace Lucario though, I learned more about her and she's REALLY cool! I love Dark Pokemon too.
Because Sakurai confirmed he won't be able to recreate every character that has been in Smash at this point. Wolf seemed to be low priority in Brawl, but I'd like to see Falco cut instead. Removing a 3rd SF rep would be better than removing characters that are much more important to representation like the EarthBound Duo & Toon Link.
I am also fully aware that being a villian or female has no influence on your appearance. I just thought it'd be fun to count them
How about we have Lucario and mew two and zoroark can be a costume for them instead?
Add these 3 and I'll buy a Wii U.
While far from guaranteed at this point, I think all 3 of these characters have a good chance of inclusion in the SSB4 roster.
I got one question, is Shulk first-party or second party?
First party as Monolith Soft is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nintendo.
First party
EDIT: solitanze beat me to it :3
Tell me you don't want to play as this in Super Smash Brothers
I do, very much, but I don't want it to replace PT or Lucario, and if the character cap increases to 5 and its between him and Mewtwo, I'd rather have Mewtwo back.
Maybe Sakurai can rescue Harry from Virtual Boy hell.
It could maybe happen as another out of nowhere thing, but the VB is more of something Nintendo wants to pretend that never happened.
@SaturnGamer64: Solid roster, and it's nice to see more people getting on board with the 45 character thing (I try to be optimistic but 50 just seems unreasonable to me however you slice it).
Personally I'd swap out Dixie (due to a dislike of the character - personal preference) and Zoroark (same as Dixie), but the only legitimate problem I see with the roster is Zero Suit Samus being separate. She doesn't even need to be replaced with Ridley - personally I don't get the hype for Ridley, as retarded as the 'too big' reasoning is - but it seems counter-productive to me to give both Samus and Zero Suit spots on the roster when in Brawl they were just fine occupying one roster slot. This is especially true given that Metroid seems to be based on Other M in Smash 4, and in Other M it was easier than ever for Samus to switch between Varia Suit and Zero Suit (effectively being able to pull the Varia Suit out of nowhere, using... nanotechnology or some bs like that). If anything, Samus and Zero Suit shouldn't be seperated, but the complete opposite - they should be better integrated with one another so they feel less like two entirely independent characters.
Small correction here, Zoroark is female
Since they would probably go for the movie version
Perhaps I can add Shulk over King Hippo, just to be "safe" on the roster.
Zoroark is either (unless of course you're referring to the one from the movie specifically in which case, disregard I posted anything lol )
That or the Skyloft outfit, I don't care, just give me a look close to Skyward Sword please
Given Link's design and the fact that they're reusing Brawls models makes me think that an SS Zelda is highly unlikely.
I think they need to be separate, keep in mind Zero Suit Samus being shown on the roster does not take the place of anybody, there are still 46 Characters on screen.
Besides somebody so different shouldn't be so difficult to obtain and it ruins playing as Samus when there is a Smash Ball. The fact that people suggest she be selectable from Samus's icon just makes it more logical to show her on screen. It also reminds people that we have 2 Metroid reps. Having Sheik interchangeable makes sense because she can do it at will. Not so much Samus.
I REALLY think Sakurai will make her a separate unlock able this time.
Possible, but like Link it could easily be bit of a hybrid
Marth - Sword only
Chrom - Sword for Smash attacks, Bow for Special attacks (some attacks have magic effects)
Ike - Sword for Smash attacks, Axes for Special attacks (fire effects for some attacks)
This work?
I'd prefer to see him as a Pokeball since I don't see Zoroark's Illusion ability translating well to gameplay. What I think they should do with him is similar to what they intended to do with Ditto in Melee, i.e. have him 'transform' into a doppelganger of yourself with the opponent having to attack to figure out which one the illusion is.
Maybe Zoroark can be a fast character who has so many counter moves, maybe he plays sorta like Naruto in SSF2.
I don't think I mentioned anything about moves.
That's not an ability that needs to be in his character. That could be for like a taunt.
I wish they'd reveal Mega Zoroark so I can have an excuse to replace Lucario with her, lol
(yesterday I would NEVER agree to Lucario being replaced, but I recently learned more about Zoroark and the fact that she is a Dark type which should seriously be in SSB and has all these abilities, and her appearance: I WANT HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Here ya go, although I feel that a character from one recent game is not enough to add him in the roster.
So from what I see, only change is Shulk over King Hippo, and I think that is a better choice. Complaints about Nook and Zoro over Mewtwo/Lucario do still stand though.
Better than a lot of your previous rosters.
Sakurai confirmed that Diddy + Dixie as a duo does NOT work. It's obvious why
Harry? Lul what?
Chrom over Ike? No. Also I think Ike is more important than Wolf.
You KNOW damn well why Tom Nook doesn't work! Stop acting like you don't.
Zoroark is a neat addition, but over Mewtwo & Lucario?
Why keep 1 Third-Party, that's a little unfair.
I luv how you replace characters like Ike to make room for freaking Harry and Tom Nook!
I just don't think Shulk is happening, but it's still possible.
Yeah, you got Starfy & Issac and you pick fucking HARRY!? WHY? WHY DID YOU PICK HARRY!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
What? It absolutely does. Illusion is Zoroark's main gimmick in the pokemon games and in his movie appearance; without it there's no reason to justify his representation (let alone as a replacement for another character) since he wouldn't be able to do much that other characters can't do already.
Because it doesn't really work in Smash and can easily be represented through other ways. It's not like Ditto where it is SOLELY his purpose. He can always camouflage in the background.
You removed Isaac and Starfy but kept Harry and Tom Nook? What? King Hippo is completely unnecessary and Zoroark over Mewtwo and Lucario is highly unlikely. Dixie if in the game should also be seperate from Diddy. Other than that, it's good.
I kinda have this thought of Mario vs. Sonic vs. Pac-Man vs. Megaman, the biggest videogame icons fighting against each other that Sakurai might actually think about. I really wanna keep Sonic, but if I have to replace him, then I'll use Professor Layton as my alternate.
Harry is a secret unlockable character, you could call him a retro if needed. I really can't put much more second-parties since I would have to organize it a little more differently.
44 is what I use because I want the roster rows and columns even (Random Box take up a space).
My bad on the Zero Suit thing, I thought she was taking an actual slot out of the 45.
For what it's worth, it's not exactly unreasonable to have Sonic return and not Snake. Sonic got in because SEGA and Nintendo are on incredibly good terms and the fans wanted Sonic above all else (even above many of the first-party choices). Not only that, Mario and Sonic having crossovers is standard-fare these days, the "Sonic Vs. Mario" fight is one people wanted to see for years, Sonic fits in perfectly with the rest of the cast from a visual standpoint and currently Sonic is Nintendo-exclusive (due to the fact he has been proven to sell better on Nintendo).
Snake? Snake got in because Kojima probably did sexual favours for Sakurai behind a convention booth (or some BS like that). He's not a bad addition to Smash by any means, but it's obvious that he sticks out like a sore thumb, and since the very beginning of the Metal Gear franchise, Nintendo has gotten the shaft - the only games of the Metal Gear series to ever come to Nintendo (which is only like, 4) were all ports of games initially released on Nintendo's competitors' consoles.
I don't think both Brawl newcomers will stick around, one is bound to go at least. Pick your poison.
Lucario stays or Red stays. Who is the replacement, etc.
Kind of a way to change up the roster enough to make sure it is not too similar. At least that is how I see it.
Still, regardless, there are bound to be a few cuts/replacements at least. Pokemon is an easy franchise for that, among others.
the only thing that troubles me about whether or not sonic will return...is it seems megaman is taking a few of sonics moves, namely rushcoil functions EXACTLY like sonic's spring did.
Sakurai could of just felt "well, sonic's not returning, i'll take some of his moves and give it to our new 3rd party rep and maybe some other characters" it'd be easier to code something like that if its being built off of brawl's engine after anyhow.
I mean yeah i realize in the actual megaman games, the rush coil functioned exactly like it does in smash4, just the thing is....sonic's spring functioned exactly the same in brawl.
A spring is not gonna stop Sonic from appearing in SSB4.
Also, was Ike added to promote Radiant Dawn?
The game is utilizing an upgraded Brawl engine with upgraded Brawl models. Saying that a character will get replaced for the sake of getting replaced is a clear indication that you have no idea what you're talking about.
It is his purpose, though: to disguise himself as another pokemon on your team in order attempt to fool your opponent to force a switch. Beyond that he's incredibly frail with decent speed and special attack, and you have to basically build your entire team around setting him up in order to be effective at all.
What you're suggesting is tantamount to giving him an extremely nerfed version of the cloaking device (which is literally changing what his character is in order to adapt to Brawl mechanics) and maybe a counter move in the form of Sucker Punch - beyond that he'd play like a slightly faster Wolf.
I wouldn't be too worried about that; Sakurai loves to reuse existing parts of the game engine wherever he can (Super Scope for the Mega Buster, Luigi/Pikachu's side specials, water mechanics for Mario and Squirtle, various clone moves) if only because they're easier to code while not clashing with the characters themselves.
He was more in because of Path of Radiance
Most likely that and he was the most popular FE lord at the time iirc.
I am just trying to find a way to give the roster something new. If we keep the Brawl roster and just add Mewtwo, besides movesets changes, the roster will have no newcomers and just a returning veteran. That stands out when Pokemon has always at least one new character each roster.
Is there really any problem with Chrom replacing Ike?
He's highly likely to be added "if" Intellegent Systems recommended another FE character.
I personally don't think that would be such a terrible thing. Plenty of other series have had no changes from each game and pokemon is one that has changed with every game. Maybe this time they should spread attention around to other areas.
Ike is my favorite FE character, and I'd be perfectly fine if he were replaced........only if it were conditional to Lucina's inclusion as well. Otherwise, fuck ike jr Ike should stay.
When was Peach revealed?
Edit: beat by @BluePikmin11
The major purpose for adding new Pokemon characters into the roster - according to Sakurai, at least - isn't solely to add new characters into the game; it's to keep the roster updated with whatever characters are currently popular in the franchise. Had we seen no Pokemon game releases between Brawl and Smash 4 the pokemon reps (number AND characters) would have almost definitely remained the same.
That said, there's a very simple workaround to your problem: don't use the standard Mewtwo at all.
I'm pretty certain Sakurai wants a new Pokemon to toy around in Smash Bros, pretty sure it could be Zoroark.
Had a thought, what if the "new" Pokemon he wants in is high priority, it could mean bye to Lucario and Mewtwo, because really he wants a new Pokemon.

Gender Genie Algorithms Detect Author's Sex?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech, Science
We were so fascinated by a blog we wrote last week that mentioned being able to tell the sex of a writer from content that we just had to explore it more. Our research ended up at the Gender Genie. Based on the algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel of Bar-Ilan University in Israel and Shlomo Argamon of the Illinois Institute of Technology, you simply place some text on the site and it tells you if the writer is male or female. Try it yourself and note that they suggest something written with at least 500 words. We submitted one that was 471 words with these results.
In all fairness, we tried it again with a shorter piece but the result was the same. Hmmm. So much for math and science.

Airport officials at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport say they evacuated the terminal for a little over two hours Sunday afternoon after a threatening note was found in one of the bathrooms.
FOX 6 Birmingham reported that the note stated there was an explosive device in the airport, but nothing were found by law enforcement after a full sweep.
The FAA stopped flights heading to the airport from taking off at their departing airports. Over a dozen flight en route were diverted to airports in Huntsville, Montgomery, Little Rock and Atlanta.
An intercom message asked passengers to"make haste" to the nearest exit shortly after 4 p.m. CST. Witnesses say they were pushed far back from the terminal entrance and were not allowed to get to their vehicles in parking garage.
Many of those evacuated took to social media sites to share pictures of the hundreds of people streaming out of the terminal following the evacuation order, and gave first-hand accounts of the incident.
Licensed pilot and FOX 6 chief meteorologist J.P. Dice was at the airport at the time of the incident. He reported that pilots were being told to move their planes away from the terminal.
A source with the FBI says they assisted the Joint Terrorism Task Force that includes the Birmingham Police Department in investigating the threat. The airport was cleared for employees just after 6 p.m. CST, with passengers being allowed back into the terminal about a half-hour later.
The Birmingham evacuation happened just two days after a gunman opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport. Authorities say he shot and killed a TSA officer and wounded three other people.

From my understanding a sport climb usually refers to routes with bolts only. However ive been browsing some of the San Diego area sport climbs on this site and when I look at the protection section I see alot of entries that say something like "Bolts and Medium Pro" however the climb is labeled only "sport". Also I see alot of other climbs classified as Trad / Sport which I guess either means you can climb it in either style? or it requires a mixture of trad gear and some bolts...? How is this any different than the "sport" climbs that require some gear. Im confused...
Example 1: mountainproject.com/v/troglodyte-trot/106306463 Example 2: mountainproject.com/v/dragonfly/106536917
I know some people get confused when they see an old climb with bolts, but they are like 30'+ apart and think it's a sport climb, but it is actually still considered a traditional line. From my understanding a standard "sport" climb has bolted protection spaced 6' to 10' apart. If you need to place gear also it should be labeled a "sport/trad". Some label it "mixed" But mixed climbing is also when you climb using crampons and picks on rock and ice like this.
Many climbs can't be accurately described with a 1-2 word label. One definition of trad is not guaranteed to match another. Read the details and usually you can figure it out. Another example - the ACSD guide just says g for some routes, indicating gear is needed.

One of my young readers emailed me. He said he enjoyed reading my articles about the past, and how the hardships turn into happier times in the next generation.
He asked me why I don't mention anything about the wars that happened during that time. He said his folks will not discuss that subject with him because of losing members of their family in wars.
Well, the main reason is that wars have been fought since the beginning of time as we know it, and to reflect upon it would bring a lot of heartache to those who lost a family member in such a conflict.
But in a sense, I guess I have avoided that part of my life because it really hurts to remember that people have to take sides and kill others in order for one man to become the master of others. I have always tried to be a peacemaker. I have always believed we all need to work together to reach a common goal, without losing what we believe in.
Being an American is something I am proud of. I don't like war, but sometimes we have to stand up and be counted and protect what is ours. In order to be free, you have to be ready to fight for it.
If you asked me what I think about one killing another in war, I would say life is so important and the freedom to live that right of life as you want it, sometimes the killings in war are part of that freedom.
I read about WWI, and lived during WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam. There has been some good from them, but we still lost many good men and women.
North Korea right now is flexing its nuclear power and needs to be stopped. As to those places we have been in the last 10 years, my thought is we have not accomplished much except losing good soldiers. It is my opinion we should pull out all our remaining troops and bring them home. Let our babies grow up with their fathers and mothers at home, to hold and love.
We here in the United States have been very fortunate to have had our brothers and sisters willing to lay down their lives, so that the rest of us can be free. I have respect for all those soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen who went out to protect us and our rights.
So if you ask if I think war is important, I would say the ones we fought before my time were important because, without them, I wouldn't be able to write down the words of this article. I would not be able to speak without the fear of being taken down and beaten. I wouldn't be able to go where I wanted to and do what I wanted to.
No, I don't like war. But sometimes we have to do what we don't like.
To those who gave their lives so that we would be free, and to those who are there to fight for our freedom now and in the future, I say thanks and God bless all of you.
To those who sit back and enjoy life as it is now, you'd better be prepared for that time when we will have to go back to defending ourselves. Life without a defense makes us a country without hope.

A letter to Dean Spanos, so that he's not confused as to what his next move should be as Owner of the San Diego Chargers.
With 4 games left and the playoffs out of reach, it's time for the Chargers to start planning for 2013. Step one in that process is protecting their franchise QB.
When it comes to the NFL, you're either trying to find a QB, or trying to maximize the value of the one you have. When the Chargers search for a new Head Coach and/or GM, answering the Philip...
Norv Turner doesn't look like a leader. He doesn't sound like a leader. He doesn't act like a leader. This doesn't mean he's not a leader, but that won't change the perception.
No. Jon Gruden's presence on Monday Night Football has made him very overrated. Here's why he's not better than Norv Turner, even if he has a Super Bowl Ring.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are at a place that many San Diego Chargers fans wish the Bolts were at. How did they get there? By doing the opposite of San Diego nearly every step of the way.
If the San Diego Chargers want a chance to compete in their division in 2012, they'll need to make their move in the next two weeks.
Jarret Johnson was the Chargers best pass rusher on Thursday night and other observations.
The problems with the 2012 San Diego Chargers go beyond just poor coaching. A.J. Smith is just as culpable as Norv Turner in this mess.
Norv Turner appeared to be in a position to avoid being fired mid-season, but things have gotten so bad that the San Diego Chargers may no longer care.

"Ani L'Dodi..." is the most well-known quote from "Shir HaShirim," or "The Song of Songs," written by King Solomon in the language of a beautiful, romantic declaration between a husband and wife, as an allegory for the love between the people of Israel and their Lord.
The intertwining beauty of love is captured in this painting by symmetrical designs reaching around each other, from the upper left and lower right, embracing in spirals around the poetic center. Flora surround the union as the life of the couple grows and flourishes.

Don't let a little cold weather stop you from bundling up your baby for his or her daily stroll. With one of these cozy buntings, you can tote your tot through those sub-freezing days that are just around the corner. We've highlighted the best features of each of our 10 top picks to make shopping a breeze. Stay warm, and happy strolling! 7 A.M. Enfant Chevron Stroller Bunting What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This Fall, 7 A.M. Enfant introduces its new chevron Evolution bunting bag ($172). It goes where you go and is easy to move from the stroller to the car seat. It even transforms to a big, cozy blanket for playtime. This awesome bunting comes in six chic chevron colorways. 1 / 10 Nomie Baby Cozy Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The fleece lining of the Nomie Baby Cozy Up ($59) is enhanced by a wind-resistant exterior. 2 / 10 Warm as a Lamb What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A bit different than the rest of the buntings, the Warm as a Lamb ($100) is a full stroller cover that protects little ones from rain, sleet, snow, and wind. In addition to the exterior cover, a warm fleece lining keeps tiny toes warm, too. 3 / 10 7 A.M. Enfant's Doudoune What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 A.M. Enfant's Doudoune ($95) is a cozy bunting that does double-duty, with side zippers that convert the bottom half into two separate leg muffs. The Doudoune's versatility, sophisticated color options (deep midnight blue, charcoal gray, lilac, and orange), antipilling microfleece lining, and water-repellent shell make it a standout option (especially for those in cooler environs). 4 / 10 Toastie Toddler Couture XL What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A high-performance stroller blanket, the Toastie Toddler Couture XL ($130), features an insulated shell that makes it 100 percent waterproof, windproof, and breathable.

Throughout my PhD years, I have worked passionately on the issue of "Women in Science." Becoming the president of the Graduate Women in Science Organization (GWIS) at Florida State University gave me an opportunity to work on building connections between young professional women and those who were already well advanced in their careers. During GWIS meetings, we discuss the challenges faced by women in science and talk about personal experiences.
The secret is out. There is life beyond the lab or the classroom for someone with a PhD in molecular biology, especially in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. And yet many of these business careers have little to do directly with bench expertise but instead call on doctoral level training in analysis, planning, and communication. Those are the key skills that serve Jason Huhn and Danielle Haney, recent PhD graduates who are happily pursuing fast-paced, well-paid office-based careers as consultants.
It isn't your imagination. The recent ups and downs in biomedical research funding have made for turbulent times in academic laboratories across the US. Jennifer Couzin-Frankel points out in her overview article to an imaginatively reported "News Focus" section last week in Science on the work force and funding crisis in biomedical science that the NIH budget doubled between 1998 and 2003 from around $14 billion to $27 billion but remained essentially flat for the next five years. The 2009 federal stimulus package created a bump in spending of an additional $10.4 billion but the "regular" NIH budget continued to lose altitude as inflation ate away at the actual value of flat funding. Then came last year's heart-stopping federal shutdown and the sickening 5% across the board sequester nose dive. The net result is that the number of R01 principal investigators (PI) has remained virtually static over the last 13 years: NIH funded 20,458 PIs in 2000 and 21,511 PIs in 2013.
It may sound like a spam subject line but you can change the trajectory of your career in a few short weeks. If it sounds too good to be true, consider one of the numerous short-term courses, internships, and fellowships in outside-the-lab science careers that can give you a look at a whole new career track.
Aside from Google Hangouts and Skype, it was the first time I'd been on video since my friend caught me singing to Spice Girls several years ago. I'd picked a high pressure venue for my return to video—the ASCB Annual Meeting in New Orleans. I was scheduled to give a short talk on Monday about scientists and social media. On Sunday though, I found myself in a small room in the convention center for a previously unscheduled coaching session on video with Susan Tomai, founder of Oratorio, a DC-based company offering media and presentation training.
Now that you have an established research career with a good number of publications under your belt, should you have a professional profile on Wikipedia? You may be thinking that this would be a great way to bump up your ratings in a Google search, and you would be correct. A Wikipedia page is typically ranked in one of the top five sites returned in a routine search. Officially launched in 2001, Wikipedia averages 460 million visits per month and has an international audience for its 27.8 million articles in 286 languages.1
Is there life after graduate school? For doctoral students and postdocs who've been wondering what their future lab life could be like outside academia, say in the biotech industry, here's a chance to get a taste and some intensive training in a free-to-the-student 12-day MBA-style, case-based course. ASCB and the Keck Graduate Institute (KGI), with generous funding from EMD Millipore, have teamed up to offer "Managing Science in the Biotech Industry: An Intensive Course for Students and Postdocs" to 40 postdocs and graduate ASCB members this June in Claremont, CA.
The Kanawha River cuts through Charleston, West Virginia, on its way north to join the Ohio. On this brilliant October morning, the sun is quickly burning off the fog filling the river bottoms and setting the golden dome on the state capitol ablaze. It is the perfect fall Saturday for tossing a football or raking leaves. And yet 70 grad students, postdocs, and biology faculty turn up at the West Virginia University (WVU) Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center to hear and talk about cell biology.
It's hard to imagine a scientific conference without poster presentations. There would be tumbleweeds rolling through the exhibit hall, company reps would be asleep in their booths, and grad student and postdocs would be hung-over every morning of the meeting.
It's been nearly a year since an insurgent group of scientists and journal editors gathered in San Francisco at the ASCB Annual Meeting to plot a counterattack on the outsized influence of "impact factor" on scientific assessment. A metric invented in the 1960s by Eugene Garfield to help academic librarians subscribe to influential journals, the journal impact factor had become a misleading measure, the insurgents agreed. In June, they issued the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), asking the world science community to sign on, endorsing 18 recommendations for new standards of research assessment that would move away from journal-based metrics to individual assessment. The number of DORA signatories is now approaching 10,000. Evidently, scientists are ready for something better than the impact factor, but what?

Two standout lightweight strikers squared off last night (May 25, 2013) as Donald Cerrone took on K.J. Noons in the opening bout of the UFC 160 main card in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Noons was known for his spectacular boxing, but it was Cerrone who showed that you need much, much more than that if you want to be a successful UFC fighter.
"Cowboy" didn't waste much time, scoring with low kicks and punches, landing with some shots to Noons' right eye and opening up a cut on the former Elite XC champion.
When Noons tried to respond with some leg kicks and boxing of his own, Cerrone whipped out some offensive wrestling, taking him down and dropping a few short elbows, then landing a knee up the middle when Noons tried to pop back to his feet.
Noons may have made a name for himself with his boxing, but he got worked over by Cerroneon the feet, eating quick jabs, low kicks, body kicks and even occasional partially blocked head kicks, and Noons was having trouble clearing up his vision on his right side due to the cut bleeding into his eye.
"Cowboy" made things significantly worse for Noons in the third round, taking him down for the fourth time and proceeding to drop some huge elbows which busted Noons' left side of his face up as well.
When it came time for the judges to render their decision, it was a walk in the park as they awarded Cerrone all threerounds to hand the former WEC standout a unanimous victory.
For K.J. Noons, he simply didn't have enough weapons to compete against Cerrone fairly. Maybe his pure boxing attack worked against lesser competition, but you need more tools than that, or you need to be more dominant with your boxing if you want to defeat higher level competition. He was outgunned in all facets of the fight, even punching, and that's not a good sign by any means.
Noons has now lost five out of his last six fights and he'll probably be getting his walking papers because he didn't look like a UFC caliber fighter last night.
For Donald Cerrone, he fought very intelligently. Not only did he stick with a gameplan, he actually utilized all of his weapons in a fight, shooting in for takedowns, dropping ground and pound, working over Noons with kicks and scoring with some crisp boxing of his own. Noons never knew what was coming next and that played huge in Cerrone's success. If he can mix up his game like this against future opponents, he's still got a shot at being a lightweight contender.
Next up for Cerrone could be a wide variety of opponents ranging from Khabib Nurmagomedov, Rafael dos Anjos or perhaps Josh Thomson.

"This morning a student brought a small vial of mercury that was discovered at the high school at the end of 1st period. The Spokane Valley Fire Department responded at 9:20 am and assisted in the evacuation of students and staff. A district-wide message to staff regarding this incident was sent this morning at 9:35 am. A call-out to high school parents occurred at 9:46 am along with information posted to our website.
Between 10:10 am and 10:30 am, buses arrived at the high school and students were delivered home by 11:30 am.
The fourteen staff and students with direct exposure to the mercury were taken to the hospital and all were released by 12:30 pm with a clean bill of health.
Currently our Maintenance Department, the Spokane Valley Fire Department, NEWESD101 and Able Care are assessing the situation and advising the district on clean up procedures. We do not know when we will be allowed to access the building.
Please check the high school website for information regarding specific events. Additional information will be communicated to students and parents via email and phone.

There are a number of things that you should do before you call us to report a power cut or loss of supply
What to do if your electricity goes off unexpectedly
Checking your fuses or your trip switch
- If your trip switch is in the off position, try to move it back to the on position. If this works, the power will come back on
- If this hasn't worked and the trip switch moves back to the off position, you may have a fault on one of your appliances or house wiring circuits
- To find out, switch off and unplug all appliances and move the trip switch back to the on position. If it moves back to the off position, check your individual wiring circuits
- If your trip switch stays on, plug in and switch on your appliances one at a time. If the trip switch moves to the off position with a particular appliance, then it means the appliance may be faulty
If your fuses are working and the trip switch is in the on position, phone us on the emergency number for your area (found on your bill). We'll give you details of any charges that we might make if we call at your property and the fault turns out to be on your wiring.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid released a statement Monday on behalf of his family one day after the death of his son, Garrett, who was found dead in his room at the site of the Eagles' training camp Sunday morning.
Garrett, 29, was the oldest son of Tammy and Andy Reid and had been assisting the Eagles' strength and conditioning staff at training camp.
"On behalf of Tammy and our family, I would like to thank everybody for their tremendous support, love, kind words and prayers during this time of great sadness," Reid said in the statement. "Words cannot express our sense of loss.
"We loved Garrett so much. He was a wonderful son and brother. He made us laugh, he was a pleasure to be around, he always had a smile on his face, and we will miss him dearly. We will never forget him, and we will remember him with love.
"Garrett's road through life was not always an easy one. He faced tremendous personal challenges with bravery and spirit. As a family, we stood by him and were inspired as he worked to overcome those challenges. Even though he lost the battle that has been ongoing for the last eight years, we will always remember him as a fighter who had a huge, loving heart.

NORTH JEFFERSON — In the wake of the shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. last week, Jefferson County Schools have increased security through at least the Christmas holidays.
The system, in conjunction with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, announced that at least one deputy would be stationed at each school through the week.
Many schools, especially high schools, have a regular law-enforcement presence through the year with school resource officers.
In some cases, city police are also providing added security. That's the case at Snow Rogers Elementary, where principal Laura Ware said that a Gardendale Police officer is on duty.
Several other school systems in the metro area announced similar measures.
The stepped-up security comes after the killing of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. A gunman killed his mother in her sleep at their home, stole several guns belonging to her, and used them to gun down the victims at the school.

UserDefinedForm on every page?
13 June 2009 at 5:23am
Hi there,
I've a page type ProjectPage and I want to have a UserDefinedForm on every page, isntead of creating that form every time I create a instance of the ProjectPage, is there any way that I can include it in?
I've tried doing the following :
Create a UserDefinedForm page; with URL QuickContactForm
in my ProjectPage_Controller class
function getForm() {
return DataObject::get_one('UserDefinedForm', 'URLSegment' = 'QuickContactForm');
in my template .ss file :
<% control getForm %>
<% end_control %>
BUT, I get a error page saying that "[User Error] Object::__call() Method 'Form' not found in class 'UserDefinedForm'"
Any suggestions?

Solved now!
Just incase anyone else wants to do the same.. I've done :
class ProjectPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
public function getForm() {
$record = DataObject::get_one("UserDefinedForm", "URLSegment = 'QuickContactForm'");
$results = new UserDefinedForm_Controller($record);
return $results;
This now works fine for me

@ajaycr - Use $Form. You use $UserDefinedForm only in the Content of the page.

Thank you for posting your solution. Helped me enormously, as I wanted a quick contact form on every page too. Though to get it to work on ss 2.4 I had to use $getForm.Form on the Template and make sure there was a .php file in code, a .ss file in the template and one in the layout also.

Jeff Reese and I took a look at the Indians system over at Bullpen Banter. Outside of Lindor (who probably isn't getting the attention he deserves!) the picture is not a pretty one, though I'm sure you guys are aware of that. if you're interested in hearing some of our thoughts on the org. and learning about some of the younger international kids it might be worth a look. Thanks for reading - Al Skorupa
Nick Hagadone going to AA Akron. Regarded as 2nd best prospect in the org behind Santana. Double A debut tomorrow.— Cleveland Indians (@tribeinsider) May 31, 2010
I guess he can work out going more than 4.2 IP there.
#Indians LHP Nick Hagadone with 7 K in 4.2 shutout innings at Hi-A; would like to see him at a higher level . . .Goldstein. Hagadone also had a 5:1 GO:AO and TJ McFarland finished the job with 4.1 shutout innings of his own. Can't find anything on Hagadone's pitch count (or how it's being limited).
So, the three teams start discussing a possible three-way deal with Seattle that would send Gonzalez to the Mariners, along with Buchholz and a couple of other Red Sox prospects. The Red Sox would get Hernandez. And the Padres would get Brandon Morrow, Phillippe Aumont and Carlos Triunfel from Seattle, along with a couple of other top Boston prospects.
An overview of the trade that sent Victor Martinez to Boston.
Although [Hagadone] lasted just 1-2/3 innings and did not factor into the decision, it was a huge step forward for Hagadone who made only three starts in 2008. The left-hander allowed a hit and walk, while fanning two in his scoreless inning, before giving way to Caleb Clay (2-2).Hits Come in Bunches in Drive's 9-1 Win Over Legends - OurSports Central - Independent and Minor League Sports News Nick Hagadone, the Red Sox's No. 1 pick in 2007, made his first appearance of 2009 on Saturday. He didn't pitch for too long, but at least he made an appearance. Hagadone has potential to be a very special pitcher -- the first step is getting back on the mound.

[Ed: This is the second in a series of interviews on US-Japan relations in the wake of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit last December to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine.]
Weston S. Konishi is the Washington, DC-based Chief Operating Officer of Peace Winds America (PWA), a disaster preparedness organization facilitating greater coordination between governments, militaries, NGOs, and the private sector throughout the Asia-Pacific region. A specialist in Asia and U.S.-Japan relations, Mr. Konishi has spent over fifteen years in the non-profit and think tank arenas. He is the author and editor of numerous books and publications on Asia-Pacific security issues. From 2010 to 2013, Mr. Konishi served as director of Asia-Pacific studies at the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis (IFPA). Before joining IFPA, he was an adjunct fellow at the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation in Washington, D.C. In 2009, he served as an analyst in Asian affairs at the Congressional Research Service (CRS), authoring Japan's Historic 2009 Elections: Implications for U.S. Interests, the first report to Congress focusing on the Democratic Party of Japan. From 2007 to 2008, Mr. Konishi was a Council on Foreign Relations/Hitachi International Affairs fellow in Japan, conducting research on Japanese foreign and defense policies at the Tokyo-based Institute for International Policy Studies (IIPS) and the National Institute for Defense Studies (NIDS).
Mr. Konishi's comments are his own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of PWA.
Dispatch Japan: Looking back on Prime Minister Abe's visit to Yasukuni Shrine, how to you evaluate the American response?
Konishi: It was appropriate: subtle, yet a pretty clear shot across the bow. The Obama administration had made a lot of behind-the-scenes efforts to convey its feelings about a potential Yasukuni visit. Clearly that did not sink in with Abe.
The statement still resonates. On the one hand, Japan is very important as an ally. On the other hand, the US view is straightforward that visits to Yasukuni and controversial statements on history strain relations in Northeast Asia.
Dispatch Japan: The US did not criticize the visits to Yasukuni made by then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. What makes things different now?
Konishi: The stakes are higher. The territorial dispute with China over the Senkaku Islands has flared up dangerously. Relations with South Korea are on edge over the Takeshima dispute, among other things. Overall, regional tensions are at a high point for recent years, which made the Yasukuni visit particularly problematic.
The hope in Washington had been that a more pragmatic side of Abe would prevail, and that he would take the regional political situation into consideration.
That made the Yasukuni visit, and subsequent statements by NHK officials and others in Tokyo all the more disappointing.
Dispatch Japan: Why is it so troubling to Washington?
Konishi: The developments in Tokyo have complicated the US strategy of "rebalancing" toward Asia. The US would like Japan to be in the vanguard of the rebalance. Japan remains the top US ally in the region, so it is important that Japan's regional relationships be more positive and stable. That would facilitate the carrying-out of US objectives, but that is not the situation now, which explains why the US reaction now is so different than a decade ago.
Dispatch Japan: Has Abe misjudged the US?
Konishi: Many people in Japan believe he did, especially the idea that the progress achieved last December on Okinawa base issues would tend to mute US criticism of the Yasukuni visit and other history-related developments.
Abe appears to have developed a false sense of confidence that no matter what he did – especially visiting Yasukuni -- the US would stand by him. Remember that last time he was in office, Abe received a lot of domestic criticisms for "failure to read the political winds" – kuuki ga yomenai.
A similar dynamic seems to be at play. Abe is not reading the strategic and political winds, which is rocking the boat with Washington.
Dispatch Japan: What is motivating Abe: ideological conviction, or strategic concerns such as the rise of China or US reliability?
Konishi: Foremost is deep personal conviction. The prime minister has deeply-held beliefs about Japan's behavior during World War II, and his perception that Japan has had to cow-tow to neighboring countries in the postwar period. He has a lot of resentments about that.
Abe also underestimates the extent to which history issues can resonate in the US. The tension is not limited to relations with Japan's neighbors.
I don't think the Yasukuni visit or Abe's stances on history issues stem from domestic political calculations. He does not get much of a bump in voter support. Some analysts say he adopts these positions to mollify his domestic political base. But Abe in many ways personifies his base. And there is no groundswell of support for his policies regarding history or visits to Yasukuni.
There is a loud, vociferous minority of right-wingers in Japan. But they do not represent a growing constituency. Japan's mainstream is still relatively moderate. If anything, the mainstream is disappointed with Abe's history-related views.
I also do not think the prime minister has thought through the strategic implications of his nationalism; no grand design. I don't see any kind of message to Washington that Japan is seeking greater independence from the US in defense and foreign policy.
But Abe does deeply resent that, in his view, Japan has had to repeatedly back down on history issues in relations with China and Korea. And he is riding an "apology fatigue" sentiment that is prevalent in the mainstream, not simply in rightist circles.
To that extent, Abe does have real objectives. He wants to change the way Japanese view themselves and their country. He wants the Japanese people to demonstrate more backbone in historical disputes.
Dispatch Japan: How is this going to play out in regional dynamics?
Konishi: We are in for a very rough ride. There seems to be no end in sight in what already is a very precipitous decline in Japan-Korea relations.
To me, this is most troubling. There is so much potential for cooperation between Japan and Korea. They have so many common strategic, diplomatic, and economic interests. There is so much lost because of the tensions.
That's not to downplay the importance of Japan's relations with China. They are the two giants of the region. But the relationship is always going to be complicated, with a good deal of bumpiness almost built-in.
Beijing and Seoul are not accustomed to Tokyo pushing back on territorial and history issues, or Tokyo blatantly ignoring their concerns about visits to Yasukuni Shrine.
Meanwhile, Washington will continue to be concerned about being drawn into Japan's disputes with its neighbors. The US will try to keep the disputes at an arm's distance, but that will be seen in Tokyo as a lack of commitment to Japan on Washington's part.
There will be continuing spillover on the US-Japan alliance.
Dispatch Japan: The US is walking a fine line: don't empower Abe, but limit the space between Washington and Tokyo that China might try to exploit.
Konishi: Any attempts to bypass Abe would likely exacerbate anxieties in Japan. Up to now, a lot of messages have been delivered to Abe behind closed doors. Washington may have to start being more direct, and more explicit in conveying our concerns to Tokyo. President Obama should use his upcoming visit to Japan to discuss his grand strategy for the region with Abe, while making it clear to the prime minister that further transgressions into historical controversies will impede both allies' efforts to implement that strategy over time. I think the US needs to be very careful about wading into Japan's historical disputes more directly, but, put in a strategic context, Washington will stand a better chance of convincing Abe to focus on the big picture rather than on his personal convictions about the past.


text: For those who are interested, Yongnuo have just released a new flash unit the YN-568 (with GN of 58 @ IS0=100 105mm) BUT this time supporting HSS, for around 200 dollars. This is a fully wireless E-TTL-II unit like the YN-565EX. I've had 2 x YN-565's and they're really powerful units like 580EXII, but without Master trigger, HSS and lesser build quality. However, a combination of the new transceivers + new flashguns and you have a full in-camera flash control stroboscopic set-up that is radio controlled, at a very inexpensive price point that will do everything a bunch of Canon Speedlite's will do (at least in terms of light + power).

"Competition" is for guys that have contracts going into farther seasons, rookies, etc.Schiano is going to piss him off and it may not matter what the Bucs offer him towards the end of the season.This whole thing stinks of "Doug Williams" part two. We're going wish we had freeman back once Glennon starts to play. Schiano reminds me of a kid at Christmas. He gets an awesome toy, but would rather play with the box it came in instead.
I'm not worried. Freeman has shown he's capable of winning games in this leage and it's not like he's being asked to win games by himself. We have a solid ground game and an improving pass defense to go along with the leagues best run D. If we don't get to the playoffs with this talent, it speaks more about Schiano's coaching than Freemans accuracy. That said, if Freeman doesnt get the big contract to stay here, there will be a number of teams in a bidding war for his services.My guess is Freeman earns a franchise contract to stay in Tampa.
Freemans accuracy is a major problem.
For you to sit there and say if the Bucs don;t get to the playoffs it is more about S than about Free is absurd.
How many years has Freeman played in the NFL and what is his record? Regardless of situation, he is what he is, his record defines him. HIs play defines him. What has Freeman done in these years to improve his overall quality of play?
S may actually be hampered by Freemans inability to execute, to be consistent, to not be afraid to run and take a hit occasionally without going "ouchy". THAT may be the reason they do not make the playoffs.
Keep in mind that Freeman has never been a QB associated with accuracy, and he has never been a field general on the level of the elite QBs in the NFL, He is a quiet dude, who freaks out when the shlit hits the fan.
Free is more in jeopardy than S is...way more. Another wildy inconsistent season filled with losses to quality teams will speak more about what Free is, and what ails the offense.
Quote from: MiltonMack21 link=topic=1305616.msg1933167#msg1933167 date=t. Schiano is a dope and will be out of a job soon enough.how soon?
t. Schiano is a dope and will be out of a job soon enough.
Quote from: Boid Fink on May 19, 2013, 01:28:40 PM Freemans accuracy is a major problem. No it's not. His completion % is low but makes up for it with YPA.
My cousins dog and Schiano's youngest daughters dog get their hair did at the same groomer. Apparently, my cousins dog thinks her dog is stuck up and freeman is lazy and everyone hates him.../seriously...Free plays well, he gets a new contract and off we go ... Free plays poorly, we franchise him, cut him and/or trade him (or some combination)Which results in us taking our lumps in 2014 with Glennon or more likely a brand new 1st rounder because we are picking top 5. Its not rocket science. There is no subversive plot to this - Our depth now at QB is a + ... a little insurance and someone to groom over the next couple years.

True and a good example of what makes message boards funny.
