The Giants, who released three offensive linemen earlier in the week, have signed OG Chris White to potentially fill one of those vacancies.
White played six games for the Seahawks last season, but did not make any starts. He's also previously played for the Texans and Packers. He joins ex-49ers C David Baas as new arrivals on the line.
The team released C Shaun O'Hara, OT Rich Seubert and OT Shawn Andrews on July 28. There is a chance one or more of them could be re-signed by the Giants at some point.

There are several other different types of treatment for breast cancer. Here is a brief review of the most common types:
Hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is used to prevent the growth, spread, and recurrence of breast cancer. The female hormone called estrogen can increase the growth of breast cancer cells in some women. Hormones are chemicals produced by glands, such as the ovaries and testicles. Hormones help some types of cancer cells to grow, such as certain breast cancers and prostate cancer. Hormone therapy may be considered for women whose breast cancers test positive for estrogen or progesterone receptors.
A hormone receptor test measures the amount of certain proteins (called hormone receptors) in cancer tissue. Hormones (such as estrogen and progesterone that naturally occur in the body) can attach to these proteins. If the test is positive, it indicates that the hormone is probably helping the cancer cells to grow. In this case, hormone therapy may be given to block the way the hormone works and/or help keep the hormone from attaching to the receptors on the cancer cells. If the test is negative, the hormone does not affect the growth of the cancer cells, and other cancer treatments are given.
Always discuss the results of the hormone receptor test with your doctor.
An anti-estrogen drug frequently used, called tamoxifen, blocks the effects of estrogen on the growth of cancer cells in breast tissue. However, tamoxifen does not stop the production of estrogen. Side effects that may occur when taking tamoxifen include hot flashes, nausea or vomiting, vaginal spotting, fatigue, headaches, and skin rash.
Taking tamoxifen also increases the risk of endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) and uterine sarcoma (cancer involving the muscular wall of the uterus). There is also a small risk of blood clots and stroke.
Raloxifene, a second anti-estrogen drug used for breast cancer prevention, is not recommended for women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Drugs called aromatase inhibitors are used to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. These drugs, anastrozole (Arimidex), exemestane (Aromasin), and letrozole (Femara), prevent estrogen production. Possible side effects of these drugs include osteoporosis or bone fractures.
Another drug for recurrent breast cancer is fulvestrant (Faslodex). Also approved by the FDA, this drug eliminates the estrogen receptor rather than blocking it, as is the case with tamoxifen, letrozole, exemestane, or anastrozole. This drug is used following previous anti-estrogen therapy. Side effects for fulvestrant include hot flashes, mild nausea, and fatigue.
Another means of stopping the production of estrogen is the use of surgery to remove the ovaries in women who have not gone through menopause. This surgery is called an oophorectomy and it eliminates the main source of estrogen.
Biological therapy. Biological therapy uses the body's own materials, or those made in a laboratory, to assist the body in fighting the cancer. It may also be called biological response modifier therapy, or immunotherapy.
Biological therapy treatments are designed to repair, stimulate, or increase the body's natural ability to fight cancer.
The immunotherapy drug most often used for breast cancer is called trastuzumab (Herceptin). This monoclonal antibody works against a protein that encourages breast cancer cells to grow. This drug may be combined with chemotherapy and hormone therapy.
A growth-promoting protein called HER2/neu is present in small amounts on the surface of normal breast cells and most breast cancers. In some breast cancers, this protein is present in higher amounts and these cancers will tend to be more aggressive (they grow and spread quickly). Herceptin attaches to this protein and by doing so, slows the growth of the cancer and, in some cases, shrinks tumors.
These treatments may be used as adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant therapy is therapy given after the primary therapy — usually surgery to remove the cancer — to reduce the chance of the cancer spreading or recurring (coming back after treatment). The adjuvant therapy may be radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or biologic therapy. When a therapy is given before the primary treatment, it is called neoadjuvant therapy.

VIDEO: Bournemouth sci-fi convention attracts cult TV enthusiasts from all over the world
Updated 10:19am Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Alex Winter
PHASERS were set to stun at an annual science fiction convention in Bournemouth at the weekend.
And cult TV enthusiasts from all over the world gathered to have a close encounter with some of their favourite stars, including the eighth incarnation of Doctor Who, Paul McGann.
The three-day SF Ball, now in its 20th year, saw hundreds turn out to take part in the fun.
Among them were members of Starbase 24, an independent group of Star Trek fans who meet up at conventions across the UK to take part in their passion.
Charlotte Kebbell - known to friends as Rear Admiral T'lar - and husband 'Admiral' James Mackenzie-Kebbell organise the group's meetings.
She said: "We have been meeting up for about eight years now, and we know that this event is very good indeed."
Kevin Goldsmith - who uses the Star Trek name Captain K'vaar - added: "This event supports the Teenage Cancer Trust, which is fantastic.
"Our group also supports cancer charities. It's important to us to raise as much as we can for such good causes."
For 11-year-old Tristan Moore, of Blandford, the convention was an opportunity to meet a hero.
With mum Jade, and grandmother Sharon, he had the opportunity to meet McGann, eight years after he first began watching Doctor Who.
Jade said: "Tristan's a huge Doctor Who fan.
"In one episode, Matt Smith gets into Pandora's Box and the audience thinks he might have died. Tristan was so upset by it that he wrote to the BBC asking them not to kill off the Doctor."
But Smith isn't Tristan's favourite Doctor.
He said: "I really like Matt Smith, but my favourite is probably David Tennant."
The schoolboy, who has a cardboard Tardis in his room, told his mum that his face hurt from smiling so much during the convention.
McGann, who met fans on both Friday and Saturday, said: "This is a really friendly event, and I'm enjoying it a lot.
"It's great that it's associated with a charity as well - that's not always the case, and conventions can be quite corporate. There are lots of volunteers working here to make it good fun for everyone, and people have come from all over the world to be here, so it's wonderful. I'm having a great time."
He said similar events in the past had made him nervous.
"A lot of actors are quite shy," he said.
"When I first started coming to these sorts of things, I felt quite nervous. But the people are always lovely and have a great sense of humour."
Sophie Aldred, who played Doctor's companion Ace from 1987 to 1989, said she was enjoying her visit to Bournemouth, and had brought her husband and two sons along for the day.
"This is a very well-run event and I'm having a lovely time," she said.
"What people can do at these sort of events is really express themselves and be who they would really love to be. There's not many places out there where people can do that."
Chris Barrie of Red Dwarf gave a talk about his work on the cult show to crowds.
He said: "Going to conventions is a big part of science fiction, and I'm having a great time here in Bournemouth."

As the economy has improved, companies have been spending more on IT, tackling upgrades that were put on hold, and deploying new technologies. "Some of the investment dollars that got pulled back in the recession have now loosened up," Pollock says. New tech projects inevitably create greater demand for help desk individuals who are tasked with getting end users acclimated to new technologies.
Across all job roles and geographies, retention is becoming a big issue for IT. In particular, it's hard for many companies to hold on to younger IT workers.
"They're always looking for the next challenge, the next opportunity for more growth, more learning opportunities, the chance to get their hands on the latest technology," Pollock says of Millennial workers.
Of course, young workers aren't the only techies seeking career growth. "Retention is a big issue" across all age groups, Pollock says.

BMAGIC and Public Defender's Office need your support now
Show the Board of Supervisors your support for the Public Defender's Office on Tuesday, July 21, 2 p.m., City Hall Room 250; call them now
by Lea Villegas
In response to a letter of inquiry from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Public Defender Jeff Adachi said that firing attorneys from his staff would actually cost the city $700,000 more a year than what it would save by reducing his staff, since these cases would have to be referred to more expensive private attorneys.
Adachi noted that he has already reduced his staff by 10 and that he cannot provide proper representation to the 29,000 people the office is assigned to represent each year. Adachi said that he would have to withdraw from as many as 1,500 cases, which would cause court delays that could drive up the cost of jailing inmates by up to $5 million. Earlier this year, Adachi's staff voluntary agreed to give back 10 percent of their salaries in order to help save jobs.
A recent study released by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency indicated that African Americans are 4.7 times as likely to have a public defender, and Hispanics are 2.1 times as likely to have a public defender, as compared to their Caucasian counterparts. According to Adachi, over 70 percent of the Public Defender's clients are people of color. Approximately 20 percent of its adult clients and 30 percent of its youth clients are from Bayview.
Together, BMAGIC and Mo' MAGIC have united over 100 community-based organizations that serve families and youth. BMAGIC sponsors literacy programs and an annual back-to-school celebration, where it has distributed over 15,000 free backpacks and school supplies to children and youth in Bayview and Hunters Point. BMAGIC also serves as a clearinghouse for information and distributes a comprehensive youth and family resource guide for individuals seeking difficult to find services in employment, education, mentoring, recreation and health.
"BMAGIC stands for the tenet that strong services, culturally relevant education and access to resources that support healthy living will assist in the betterment of quality of life as it relates to violence prevention, intervention and re-entry," BMAGIC Director Yvette Mari Robles said.
The devastating proposed budget cut would also result in the layoff of social workers who ensure that children in the juvenile justice system receive care, treatment and guidance consistent with their best interests, as mandated by the California Rules of Court. For every child that the Public Defender's Office represents, social workers create individualized treatment plans that integrate mental health, special education and counseling services. For the second year in a row, not a single child represented by the Public Defender's Office was committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
Adachi hopes that the Board of Supervisors votes to restore his budget. "It's the right thing to do because it will ultimately save the city millions. It will also ensure that our justice system is working and that innocent people are not convicted of crimes they did not commit," Adachi said.
For the second year in a row, not a single child represented by the Public Defender's Office was committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote on the budget on Tuesday, July 21, at City Hall, Room 250, at 2 p.m. You can show your support for the Public Defender's Office and BMAGIC by attending the hearing or contacting your supervisor. Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, District 10, can be contacted at (415) 554-7670 or email@example.com. Contact information for all of the Supervisors is listed at www.sfgov.org/site/bdsupvrs_index.asp.
2 thoughts on "BMAGIC and Public Defender's Office need your support now"
My child works with Mo Magic this Summer of 2009. It's her first job and she really enjoys making her own money. It gives her independents. Plus she will help me as a single parent, by buying her own shcool clothes for next school year. This is a great program for our youth of the Western Addition and San Francisco. If there isn't any jobs for our youths to look forward too next Summer 2010, they may loose focus, or turn to illegal actions. Maybe the Mayor, and other higher staff officals should take a pay cut or loose their jobs before cutting our youth of San Francisco out.↓
You need to find another program to cut back on. The residents of Bayview rely very heavily on the committement B-Magic has made to our community. Each of their events leave a lasting impact on all the families that participate. If the Public defender's office loses just one attorney, more of our youth will lose precious time out of their lives.↓

|Reaping fruits of our labor
By Jim Langham
As days start to slightly shorten and the edge comes off the summer heat, my mind often returns to that part of my aging heart in recall of all of the hard work I remember during August and September It was hard work filled with pride as we began to reap the harvest of hundreds of hours of garden work during the summer.
Recently I drove past the old home place and sized up what I knew once to be our garden. "How could we do that," I asked myself as I looked at the area which once grew sweet corn, popcorn, red beets, green beans, lima beans, peas, potatoes, melons, cucumbers, radishes, turnips, onions, and sundry other fresh vegetables that provided sustenance for our simple way of life.
I recall once picking red raspberries, black raspberries, strawberries, grapes, jonathan and delicious apples, yellow delicious apples, crabapples, pears, peaches, cherries, sour and sweet, plums and even quince.

We didn't set out to break any records. We didn't do it to raise money. And we certainly didn't know if the weather was going to cooperate.
But there we were — four Sporting Dads all in our forties. I am the oldest and most experienced cyclist of the group. Somehow that made me the leader, although I'll admit that I'm the least accomplished athlete.
The others all played sports in high school or beyond. Shawn, at 6' 8", played against Shaq in the Sweet 16 for UConn. He and played high school basketball together. Frankie also played football. Fred played football and basketball in high school as well. I was the star TE for the Parking Lot Football League (PFL) in Forestville in the 70's, but that's a different column.
The three of them caught the bicycling bug several months back and we decided to train together for a couple of months before riding from Manchester to Boston over two days.
We chose the weekend that featured a tornado warning, torrential downpours, and flash flooding. We did not have a rain date built in. We were stubborn and decided to ride against all common sense.
Two of us had road bikes. Two had hybrids. Three packed light. I did not. My backpack weighed more than a 6-month-old baby. I have purple strap marks on my upper chest to prove it.
To get ahead of the scary clouds, we started out in Andover. Our first stop was for lunch. I ordered half a turkey. If I eat too much I cramp and feel bloated. No worries there — it was half a sandwich — like when your mom made you a sandwich and cut it in two and put the other half in the fridge for later. If you're wondering where the other half went, Frank had ordered the same thing. Diet Coke, oatmeal cookie, and half a sandwich: $12.00.
It was very hilly to Sturbridge. We hung in. Fred was having knee pain but only when he pedaled. Guys like us are too pumped with testosterone, excitement, and pride to let pain stop us. Besides, we'd trained for this.
Five miles outside of Sturbridge, we got battered with rain. Knowing a dry hotel room awaited us, we kept riding. Miles earlier I had taken my headband off. There was nothing stopping my hair gel from stinging my eyes and seeping through my lips. We arrived amidst the tornado warning.
Finally checked-in and showered. Supper was next. Diet Coke, chips, and a footlong sub: $7. Now we only needed to decide who was sleeping with whom. I'm a right-side-body/left-side-bed sleeper. Shawn said he didn't move around much and would face the other way. Perfect match!
The morning brought more angry clouds with talk of downpours. We didn't know if we should ride or sit and stare at Olympic coverage for the day. Our only sitting involved pedaling. The rain found us just a bit past Worcester. After an hour wait, we had an open window. We jumped.
The Worcester area is a busy place with lots of traffic. Our directions took us on Route 9. Every several hundred yards there was a RIGHT TURN ONLY lane. A cyclist must cross that lane to get to the shoulder again. Each exit was followed by a hundred feet of brick roadway. It was like riding on cobblestones with wide gaps between them.
My narrow tires couldn't find a flat line to smoother pavement. I had to grab the white line to the left. It was like riding a tightrope. Veer to the right and my tire might find a crack and dump me over. To the left and I was inches from 55+ mph traffic. We stayed on it for about 10 miles until my spidey senses took over.
My meltdown occurred after leaning slightly too far left. The tractor-trailer truck made the little hairs on my ears stand up (I have to shave those daily). I've ridden in plenty of traffic. I've had close calls. I've never completely lost my nerve. Not until that moment. I was done. The road had no interest in being shared.
I was so frazzled that I would have ridden an extra 30 miles just to avoid Route 9. Fred's knee did not need extra pedal strokes. Luckily, for the sake of team unity, the alternative route was only slightly longer, much safer, and more picturesque. Meltdowns are not good for team moral. Lesson learned.
If there were no cars, Boston would be perfect for cyclists. There are bike lanes. And there are signs alerting drivers of the bike lanes. The signs read that a bicyclist is entitled to the entire bike lane. But who has time to read signs while driving?
. If they swerved into the bike lane: LOOK OUT! For the cyclist who needed to turn left — LOOK OUT! HONK! HONK! HONK! HOW DARE YOU!
We finally arrived — unscathed — to a toast, huge burgers and sleep.
Two months ago, this rag-tag group of cyclists started off with a flat 16.5-mile ride. It rolled over into a hilly, two-day, 120-mile trip. We didn't break any records. We didn't raise awareness to any particular cause.
What we did was climb into our own bodies, recognize their strengths as well as their limitations, and carried them across the sweet terrain of a late summer weekend.

If you're a mom-to-be and past your due date — like a certain duchess waiting it out in London — then you'd probably like to give your baby a gentle reminder that he or she must have missed a very important memo to c'mon down. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. But before the doctor starts talking meds or induction, there a few natural methods of moving labor along that are worth trying out. Click through to see what might be a good fit. And if we missed a technique that did the trick for you, then please let us in on your secret! Source: Thinkstock Acupuncture What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Studies have shown that acupuncture can be a useful practice for jump-starting labor between 39 1/2 and 41 weeks. We recommend checking with your doctor first and making sure that the practitioner you use is someone who has both good credentials and experience with treating pregnant women. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 Get It On What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You've likely already heard that having sex has been known to give labor a boost. So long as your water hasn't broken yet, it's totally safe to give it a try. Sexual activity releases prostaglandin, which is similar to the drugs that your doctor would likely administer, so why not try moving things along naturally? Source: Thinkstock 2 / 5 It Can't Hurt to Try . . . What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hit the kitchen! Keep in mind that any specific food inducing labor is more of an old wives' tale than medical fact. But when you're willing to try just about anything to get that baby moving, there are women out there who swear by the following: Pineapple Eggplant Spicy food Raspberry leaf tea Balsamic vinegar Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 Walk It Out What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While you shouldn't overexert yourself (and you should definitely stay hydrated), some women report success with brisk walks around the time of their due date. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 Just Relax! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It could very well be your mental/emotional state that's holding you back from going into labor. Do your best to calm down and release whatever anxieties you have about the upcoming birth and parenthood.

Hey guys I know you guys all know I jump around alot when I workout and such. I wanted to do westside once, and a body building program once. Well I came across the program from this website Dysmorphia Training, and i would just like your thoughts on it. I would also like to switch a few of the ME Lifts for my personal gain.
Hack Squat to Front Squat
Board Press to Floor Press
and is there anyway I can add the Over Head Press in as well?
I know you guys dont think I will stick with it, but im 100% sure I will stick with this program, and I have always been curious how changing your program can hurt you beacuse wouldnt that cause muscle confusion, and if every workout had the big 3 it would be benifical right? But thanks for the help guys.
Muscles do not have brains. Which means they can't think. Which means you cannot confuse a muscle.
I would say you're new enough to not understand what you actually need. Pick a routine, don't change it, and stick with it.

Thoughts on the program still?
Bench Press 245x1
Back Squat 225x3 (ATG)
Dead lift 275x1
Clean 185x2
The program looks very solid.

If you REALLY want to use those lifts instead... I don't think it should make much of a difference .... just stick with it..... and btw, you got grief for using the term "muscle confusion" because anyone who actually understands physiology knows it's a B.S. concept. The term itself is really primarily a marketing gimmick developed by Beachbody LLC (p90x creators) and is used to differentiate their products from others on the market so they sell more. Ultimately, the term is a misnomer that is very misleading, especially to the novice, on how to train.

Secondhand Lions
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Hub McCann)
Secondhand Lions is a 2003 American adventure/comedy film about a young boy, Walter, (Haley Joel Osment) who is sent to live with his two eccentric but mysterious great-uncles (Hub and Garth McCann (Robert Duvall, Michael Caine) on a farm in Texas. The movie was filmed in Lockhart, Texas.
|This film article is a stub. You can help Wikiquote by expanding it.
- I've been to the orphan home before. I don't wanna go back.
- You bought a used lion?
- She was a real lion, wasn't she? There at the end. A real jungle lion. A real Africa lion.
Hub McCann[edit]
- We're old, dammit! Leave us alone!
- Twice I've held your life in my hands, and twice I have given it back to you; the next time, your life is mine.
- To the Sheik whom Hub defeats in a duel.
- Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most: that people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love, true love, never dies... No matter if they're true or not, a man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in.
- What do you want us to die of... old age?
Sheriff Brady[edit]
- Best I can figure, they were trying to fly through that barn, upside down. Had a bunch of reporters out here earlier; CNN. I guess it is news, when you got a tiny World War I biplane bein' flown by two 90-year-old men, neither one of 'em with pilot's licenses... Well, they had a good, long run, the both of 'em. And they went out with their boots on!
- The kid gets it all. Just plant us in the damned garden with the stupid lion.
- Text of the will left by Hub and Garth, being read by an older Walter.
- No one, slave trader or Bedouin, had seen anything like this mad American who fought like 20 men.
- [Hub and Garth are standing in a large pond, firing shotguns at catfish when Walter and his mother arrive]
- Garth: He's runnin' for it!
- Hub: I got 'im!
- Garth: Damn. Empty!
- Hub: Get ammo; I'll keep him covered!
- Mae: Yoo-hoo!
- [Hub and Garth look up, staring between Mae and each other in confusion.]
- Garth: Huh?
- Hub: You send for a hooker?
- Mae: Uncle Hub, Uncle Garth- it's me, Mae!
- [Hub and Garth stare at her, still confused.]
- Mae: Mae! Pearl's daughter! And I brought Walter, your nephew!
- Garth: Relatives.
- Hub: [Groans] Damn.
- Hood 1: Hey, who do you think you are, huh?
- Garth: Just a dumb kid, Hub. Don't kill him.
- Hub: [to Garth] Right.
- [Hub suddenly stands up and grabs Hood 1 by the throat]
- Hub: I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and TANKS! I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN! And loved only one woman, with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!
- [A travelling salesman arrives, but unlike the others immediately takes cover behind his car, waving a white flag.]
- Salesman: Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
- Garth: He's been here before! This is no ordinary salesman.
- Salesman: Brothers McCann?
- Hub: Hell, I like me a challenge.
- Salesman: Can we talk?
- Hub: Come out where we can see you!
- Salesman: Put down the guns and I'll come out!
- Garth: [Grins] This guy is good.
- Hub: I'll cover him- you sneak around. [Walter tugs at his arm] What? What?
- Salesman: Can I just show it to you?
- Walter: Why not see what he's sellin'?
- Hub: What the hell for?
- Salesman: It's right behind my car!
- Walter: Well, what's the good of having all that money if you're never gonna spend it?
- Salesman: Trust me!
- Garth: Could be the kid has a point.
- Hub: Well. We'll see what the man's sellin'. Then we'll shoot him.
- Garth: Good plan.
- [Garth and Hub are outside with Stan while Walter and his mother are inside the house; Stan's numerous injuries from being attacked by the lion mean he is almost entirely covered in casts.]
- Garth: Howdy, Stan.
- Hub: You know, you're lucky, Stan. Lucky the lion got to you before *we* did.
- [Hub and Garth are watching Mae and an injured Stan drive away with Walter]
- Hub: Damn. She doesn't deserve that kid. Maybe we'll get a lawyer.
- Garth: No judge is gonna take a kid away from his mother, give 'im to two old bachelor uncles.
- Hub: Well, maybe she'll sell 'im to us. How much money we got?
- Garth: Hub- there's nothin' we can do. He's gone.
- Walter: If I'm gonna live here, there's gonna be some conditions.
- Hub: Conditions?
- Walter: No more dangerous stuff. No more fighting teenagers. No airplanes. More vegetables, less meat.
- Hub: What do you expect us to die of? Old age?

Bring back the clean water cooler!
What a special surprise when we got the cooler, but even more disappointing when it went back to the ruler. When word spread 'round about this fate of ours, people asked "what can we do can we trade in our cars" No! Let's not give up hope and ask dear Susan, please give us the cooler back, or we're so loosen.

Ka'Deem Carey gaining attention, but not enough
Originally published: Nov 19, 2012 - 3:08 pm
People should know Ka'Deem Carey's name by now.
Arizona's starting running back is rewriting the UA record book, and he's still not getting as much national attention as he deserves.
After running for a Pac-12 record 366 yards and five touchdowns against Colorado last week, Carey was named the National Player of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards. He also earned Honorable Mention Running Back of the Week from the CFPA for his 204-yard performance in Saturday's 34-24 win against Utah.
"People know my name," Carey said on Tuesday after practice. "Not like they haven't, but they're starting to say it."
Not often enough.
On Nov. 9, 10 semi-finalists were announced for the Doak Walker Award, which is annually given to the nation's best running back.
Alabama's Trent Richardson won last year.
Here's the list of the backs included:
- Montee Ball, Wisconsin
- Kenjon Barner, Oregon
- Le'Veon Bell, Michigan State
- Giovani Bernard, North Carolina
- David Fluellen, Toledo
- Johnathan Franklin, UCLA
- Stefphon Jefferson, Nevada
- Venric Mark, Northwestern
- Joseph Randle, Oklahoma State
- Stepfan Taylor, Stanford
Carey is noticeably absent, and there's really no excuse.
With his ridiculous 570 rushing yards in the last two weeks, Carey catapulted past Jefferson as the nation's rushing leader.
His 19 touchdowns are tied for third among running backs with Barner, one behind Jefferson and seven behind Lousiana Tech's Kenneth Dixon, who isn't a finalist either.
Barner and Franklin are often cited as the top running backs in the Pac-12, but Carey also has nine more touchdowns than Franklin, and Barner had five games of less than 100 yards � Carey had three.
Franklin has been held scoreless in six games, Barner in four and Carey in just one.
Sure, Oregon and UCLA are having better seasons than Arizona.
But, the Wildcats also have the same record as North Carolina, Nevada and Wisconsin, and Michigan State is just 5-6.
MSU's Bell has 65 more carries than Carey, but 203 fewer yards and nine fewer touchdowns.
UNC's Bernard gets an impressive 6.8 yards per carry, but on a much smaller sample size, at 157 carries to Carey's 250.
Head-to-head, Carey has taken on Barner, Fluellen, Franklin, Randle and Taylor, and outperformed all except Franklin.
- In Arizona's 24-17 win against Toledo in week one, Carey had 147 yards and a touchdown to Fluellen's 72 and a score.
- In a week two upset against OSU, Carey had 126 yards and three touchdowns, Randle had 123 yards and no scores.
- In a 49-0 blowout loss to Oregon on Sept. 22, Barner and Carey came out about even, as Barner gained 86 yards to Carey's 79.
- In a tightly contested 54-48 loss to Stanford on Oct. 6, Taylor outgained Carey with 142 yards to 132, but the Arizona back had three touchdowns and Taylor two.
That's not to say Carey should win the award by any means, I'd probably give it to Ball or Barner, but it doesn't make much sense that Carey is not even a semifinalist.
The process for selecting the candidates is as follows, according to Phil Steele:
- In October, each Division I-A university is given the opportunity to nominate a candidate.
- Throughout the season, statistical updates are compiled and released to the media and National Selection Committee, which includes sportswriters, television commentators, analysts, radio sports personalities and former All-Americans and NFL All-Pro football players.
- In mid-November, the PricewaterhouseCoopers SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors reviews the achievements of all candidates and votes to select 10 semifinalists for the award.
By virtue of releasing the semifinalists on Nov. 9, a fair assumption would be that the committee made its selection in the days prior.
Carey ran for 366 yards and six touchdowns on Nov. 10, and then 204 more on Nov. 17.
Even before Carey exploded in the last two weeks, he still had 1,015 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, and was on pace for 1,353 yards and 17 touchdowns excluding a potential bowl game.
Still, maybe the committee should have waited until closer to the end of the season.

---- — Time for people to unite
With the government of the people, by the people and for the people, I feel I have a right to be upset.
I worked at the Veterans Affairs medical center in Danville for a for a large portion of my clerical career. If I had told by bosses that I didn't like their attitude and I wasn't coming to work until their attitude changed, I would have been fired on the spot.
Since we are the people who put the president, the Republicans and the Democrats in power, why can't we fire them?
When they don't want to get along and act like adults, take their toys away.
I have never been so disgusted with politics as I am at this time.
I say it's time for the people to unite.

A South Georgia woman is dead and three children had to be taken to a hospital after a truck hit them in Worth County, Thursday night.
State Troopers say that Contessa Brown was walking in the highway when she and her three small children were hit in the 600 block of Red Rock Road around 6:30 Thursday evening.
The driver stopped after hitting the family and called 911.
Troopers are urging pedestrians to use caution while walking on Highways.
"We want to caution everyone that if you're walking down theses roads that's dark," said Trooper Darryl Benton. "Walk away from the edge of the roadway, because it is hard to see people at night, especially when it's not lighted on these county roads. We advise individuals if you're going to have to walk, please walk on the shoulder away from the roadway itself and if possible, stop if you see an oncoming vehicle to allow that vehicle to pass before you proceed."
The incident is still under investigation.
We're told the three children are okay. One suffered minor injuries. The other two were taken to the hospital as a precaution.
The name of the victim hasn't been released because officials are still working to notify relatives.
Troopers also have not released the driver's name.
He is not charged right now, as the investigation continues.

Dynamic device management in Udev
After three years of hanging around on the sidelines, Udev has finally ousted the legacy Dev-FS system. We take a look under the hood at the Udev device management system inside your Linux system.
Linux inherited the classic Unix adage "Everything is a file." This abstraction has allowed programs to use device nodes (device files) to access computer hardware as if they were accessing an ordinary file. These special device files, which are opened, read, written to, or closed using the same system calls as text files, are distinguished by their names, types (block or character device), major numbers, and minor numbers. PreviouslyToo Static Device files are created by the mknod command during the installation phase, assuming legacy management. This approach creates a permanent entry in /dev for each device the admin might connect to the system at any time in the future, and this can easily mean thousands of entries.

PITTSFIELD, Ill. (WGEM) -- Shea O'Brien epitomized toughness this past season.
In late December, the Pittsfield star had her appendix removed and less than a day later O'Brien was back with her team cheering them on at the Lady Tiger Classic in Beardstown.
A little more than two weeks later, she returned to the game floor.
O'Brien averaged nearly 20 points and three and a half steals a game this past season.
She also made 52 three pointers and was an 82 percent free throw shooter en route to being named 3rd Team All-State by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.

By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Pennsylvania Democrats gathered here for their national convention said there is not a clear-cut favorite to challenge sitting Gov. Tom Corbett in 2014.
Still, with Corbett's approval rating in the mid-30s on most polls, Democrats said they are confident they can break a 60-year trend in which one party and then the other has controlled the governor's mansion for eight years at a time.
Montgomery County Commissioner Josh Shapiro said the Democrats had a deep bench of candidates, who could make a case for replacing Corbett.
"Whoever takes on Tom Corbett is certainly going to have their hands full, but will certainly have a lot of wind at their backs," Shapiro said, though he declined to offer a personal favorite.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, son of former Gov. Bob Casey, is mentioned frequently as a future gubernatorial nominee, but many Democratic delegates gathered here said they did not believe Casey was interested in running in two years.
Casey has brushed off questions repeatedly about whether he would run for governor someday, and he is seeking re-election for another six-year term in the U.S. Senate.
State Treasurer Rob McCord is among the names batted around by delegates, and Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski was mentioned by more than one delegate as a potential dark horse candidate who might not be known statewide.
McCord is running this year for a second, four-year term as state treasurer against Republican candidate Diana Irey Vaughan. Pawlowski's second term as mayor of Allentown will end in January 2014.
Regardless of who becomes the Democratic nominee, Jim Burn, chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, said Thursday that party leaders would like to avoid a contested primary.
"We have an obligation to vet this before the primary," he said Thursday. "There are a lot of conversations currently taking place."
In 2010, a four-way primary that forced eventual nominee Dan Onorato to expend resources early in the campaign was a factor in Onorato's 9 point loss to Corbett, Burn said.

San Francisco to study dropping speed limit to 20 mph for pedestrian safety
As a part of a citywide effort to eliminate all pedestrian deaths by 2024, San Francisco will study the impact of reducing speed limits to 20 mph.
"This is a reasonable issue to look into making San Francisco streets safer," Sup. Eric Mar said, in a public statement. "There is too much excellent work and research going into it nationally and internationally to ignore."
The study was proposed by Mar as part of Vision Zero – a Swedish concept adopted by San Francisco at the behest of Sup. Jane Kim earlier this year. The initiative aims to reduce pedestrian deaths to zero within 10 years, with a focus on educating drivers, engineering roads for safety, and enforcing traffic laws (which the SFPD agreed to reform ealrier this year). Data from the study should be available in early fall.
Where the speed changes would occur is the subject of the study. "We're going to the experts," Peter Lauterborn, Mar's aide, told the Guardian. That's the whole point of the study, he said, to figure out where and by how much speed could be reduced in the city to save lives.
Modest adjustment to speed limits lowered pedestrian mortality rates in cities across the world.
Paris, London, cities in Sweden, and New York all implemented speed limit reductions to save pedestrian lives. According to the British Medical Journal, serious traffic-related fatalities or injuries decreased by 46 percent in 20 mph zones in London.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and the San Francisco Police Department got on board with the Vision Zero pedestrian safety plan, proposed by Sup. Jane Kim, earlier this year.
According to California's Office of Traffic Safety, San Francisco was ranked number one for traffic fatalities and injuries in 2011, compared to other similarly sized cities.
"The overall frequency of traffic fatalities in the City of San Francisco constitutes a public health crisis," the SFMTA warned in its Vision Zero web post.
The statistics the SFMTA presented may seem dry, but tell the tale of preventable pain pedestrians suffered at the mercy of autos: Over the ten years from 2002 to 2011 the City lost a total of 310 lives to traffic fatalities. Each year alone on average 800 people are injured and 100 severely injured or killed while walking in San Francisco.
Sweden also saw fewer pedestrian crashes, despite increased traffic density.
Walk SF has repeatedly advocated to fix intersections that are known to be especially dangerous, as only six percent of SF intersections are responsible for 60 percent of pedestrian crashes. Most of these areas are located in SoMa and the Tenderloin districts, the latter is where 6-year-old Sofia Liu was killed on New Year' Eve.
Walk SF's Executive Director Nicole Schneider told us 20 mph zones would make it easier for cars to stop, expand drivers' view of streets, and decrease the force of impact.
In 2011 the city instituted 15 mph school zones after strong advocacy from Walk SF and other groups. While Schneider didn't have any statistics about the impact of the speed limit on hand, she did say that there is a "perception of change" in these zones.
But there are environmental benefits of slower speeds as well, Lauterborn told us: driving slower uses less gas.
The U.S. Department of Energy says that speeding, rapidly accelerating, and frequently braking can decrease gas mileage by 33 percent. A lower speed limit would decrease driving costs as well as protect pedestrians.
Lauterborn said even if the study shows a 20 mph speed limit would be beneficial, there are state laws that might prevent SF from lowering the speed limit. Local governments can only set the speed limit lower than 25mph on streets smaller than 25 feet wide or in business, residential, or school zones. To lower the speed limit to 20mph on a street like Sunset, the city would likely need state permission.
At a fiery Board of Supervisors hearing on Vision Zero in January, a pedestrian who was hit by a car in 2013 named Jikaiah Stevens offered a scathing critique of current vehicle collision policies. "What is their incentive to drive safely when there are no consequences?" Stevens asked the board that night. A 20 mph limit may go a long way towards preventing pedestrian injuries like Stevens'.
We need to accept the concept of reasonable risk. If you want to eliminate all risk for anyone, anywhere, then you might as well just ban everything. 20mph is tantamount to a ban on cars, because it will make driving impossible. For what it's worth it makes getting around on MUNI impossible too. Yes, some people get into accidents. Some people die. That sucks. But in order to eliminate all deaths, you have to make the quality of life unbearable for the 99%+ who don't die in accidents, and that's just too high a price to pay.
I may just have to contribute to this initiative, not just vote for it. Stuff like this underscores the need to restore some balance.
How does going 20 mph as opposed to 30 mph makes life 'unbearable'? If your trip is 1 mile, that is a difference of 1 minute. My god, nobody will ever be able to get anywhere ever again!
backfire if adopted.
First of all, nobody's trip is a mile long and everybody has to at some point go back to where they came from even if they are combining trips.
Secondly, road carrying capacity is decreased when traffic slows down. If your theoretical one mile trip at 20MPH takes three minutes instead of two, then the car is going to be using 50% more of the available road space during that trip.
Thirdly--and I'll admit this is a mere theory of mine which I haven't researched to find if it has already been validated--but if people are driving at a speed which is dramatically slower than typical driver hand-eye coordination allows, the attention of drivers is likely to wander with unforseen negative consequences on their driving.
Underlying the idea is that the convenience of bikeys is best acheived through the discomforture of vehicle drivers. This attitude is the *reason* this backlash is occuring and likely to suceed.
More carrot! Less stick!
commenting. My bad. I rarely do that and instead made an assumption about the content of the story based on the comment I read and a couple other recent stories.
If London had a significant decrease in fatalities, I'd be curious to see if there might be correlation with their congestion fees or other factors beside speed limit reductions. And as has been pointed out elsewhere, simply enforcing the current speed laws would result in increased safety without penalizing those who currently drive the speed limit safely; turning them into scofflaws just to get the real trouble makers to slow down a bit.
I have to say that as a driver, I still don't really see what's so wrong with lowering the speed limits. The average speed on streets in downtown SF is actually only 17 or 18 mph because of all the stops and lights. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Downtown-traffic-seems-worse-but-s...
Actually planning the lights to be timed on the assumption that people are moving 20 mph seems to me like it would make things go a little smoother, perhaps getting people where they need to be faster.

One part of these equations is getting cops to enforce the law.
Cops will not be writing tickets for breaking the 20 mph speed limit, just as they do not for 25.
Maybe his daughter told him this was a good idea?
Like Hwy 1 or any of the others which cross through the city on surface streets?
Under this scenario it's easy to imagine 19th Ave at rush hour with traffic heading to and from the bridge backed up to San Rafael on the Marin side and to San Mateo on the SF side. That'll show those drivers!!!
I knew a guy who got pulled over for splitting lanes in Pacifica on a state road. He told the cop to call his supervisor as splitting traffic is legalized by the state, cities laws do not apply. After some arguing the cop called the main office and dude went about his business.

BAD Pedestrians.
Better solution.
Ban right turns on red lights, especially downtown.
Put a right turn arrow at every light where right turns are banned.
sadly, the pedestrian right of way has made many folks think that the laws of physics don't apply to them.
i have been next to a pregnant woman who was looking at her phone when she stepped off the curb into the path of a truck (grabbed her pre-tragedy).
i have seen guys step into the street, cocky that they have the right of way, not appreciating the cars they are playing russian roulette with may not have abs brakes, may not be able to stop on a dime.
i have seen guys on the sidewalk rush into the crosswalk challenging the cars that will be traveling in the same spot in milliseconds.
at night i have ALMOST NOT seen folks dressed in black crossing at the corner and in the middle of the block, not looking at traffic.
the pedistrian laws seem to make some people think they are invincible, the sad truth is otherwise.
i am very worried that darwin's laws may be at work here. are the laws encouraging risky behavior? how can we give pedestians the right of way and make them (us) responsible for their won safety at the same time?
On a 4-lane road in daylight with little traffic, 40 mph is fine.
A crowded street at night in the rain, it might be 10 mph
It's called judgement and we should let people use it.
Which is why government needs to make the RIGHT choices for them.
Because you are that lame?
right and wrong are highly subjective notions
Bay Guardian's self appointed status as guardian of the local political scene.

This is the only part of this article that makes any sense.
http://nhts.ornl.gov/2009/pub/stt.pdf Your average trip (outside of commuting) should be 6.75 miles long. San Francisco should do what is best for its citizens. And I agree with this measure as well as enforcing the measure right now.
I would think if you are a suburbia resident; you should also agree, as anyone from outside your town would really like to do/ or not do something so you and your community may NOT become safer.
San Francisco, as the city that it is; it has a high ranking of pedestrians; these are likely to be their residents, and they should have safety priority as they are more vulnerable; not someone that is just rushing through.

Sources: Nats interested in Randolph
Washington wants former Mets manager to be bench coach
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals are seriously interested in hiring Willie Randolph as a bench coach, according to baseball sources. The news about Washington's interest in Randolph was first reported by Newsday in New York. It's not known if Randolph will take the job.
Nationals general manager Jim Bowden and manager Manny Acta were in meetings last week in Florida during which they discussed putting a coaching staff together. Last month, the team dismissed five coaches after it finished the 2008 season with a 59-102 record.
Acta, Bowden and team president Stan Kasten were not available for comment.
Randolph has a good relationship with both Acta and Bowden. When Randolph was managing the Mets, Acta was his third-base coach in 2005 and '06. Bowden was the GM when he offered Randolph the Reds managerial job after the 2000 season, but the latter turned it down.
Randolph is a person with championship experience. As a player and coach with the Yankees, Randolph won six World Series titles. As a manager, he guided to the Mets to the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals in 2006.
This season, Randolph was in his fourth season as the Mets' skipper before being relieved of his duties on June 17. Since then, Randolph was a guest of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner at the 79th All-Star Game and was in uniform for the Yankees' Old Timer's Day and last game at Yankee Stadium ceremonies.
If Randolph is not a member of the coaching staff, the Nationals may look at Don Baylor, who has experience as a manager and hitting coach. Before the '06 season, then-manager Frank Robinson tried to hire Baylor as his hitting coach, but the team ended up hiring Mitchell Page.
