NFL Preview - Jacksonville (0-0) at Indianapolis (0-0)
By Michael Rushton, Contributing NFL Editor
Sports Network) - For the first time since 2001, Tony Dungy won't be standing on the sidelines to guide the Indianapolis Colts. The Jacksonville Jaguars couldn't be happier.
Indianapolis kicks off its 2009 season and the Jim Caldwell era this Sunday with a home test against AFC South rival Jacksonville at Lucas Oil Stadium.
After an 85-27 record and .759 winning percentage in seven years at the helm of the Colts, a span that included a Super Bowl title following the 2006 season, Dungy decided to call it quits. Taking over is Caldwell, the Colts' associate head coach who has never before served as an NFL head man.
He draws a pressure-filled task in taking over a club that hasn't missed the postseason since 2001, and does so without defensive coordinator Ron Meeks, who is also gone and replaced by Larry Coyer.
However, not everything has changed in Indianapolis (12-4). Peyton Manning is still under center completing passes to Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark, while Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis continue to hunt opposing quarterbacks.
The Colts come into this game having won each of their last nine regular season tests, the longest active streak in the league, but did drop their AFC Wild Card game at San Diego in overtime to end last season. Indianapolis hasn't lost in the regular season since October 27 of last year and hasn't tasted defeat at home since a 23-21 setback to Jacksonville on September 21, 2008.
The Jaguars won that game on Josh Scobee's 51-yard field goal in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter. It marked Jacksonville's first win in Indy since the 2004 season.
It was also a rare triumph versus the Colts in the Dungy era. Jacksonville went just 4-10 against Indianapolis with Dungy as the opposing head coach.
The Jaguars (5-11) hope to rebound in 2009 after a disappointing season a year ago, when injury and chemistry issues led them to a last-place finish just one campaign removed from an 11-win season.
Jacksonville parted ways with linebacker Mike Peterson and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams to stabilize the locker room, while veteran free agents such as wide receiver Torry Holt and offensive tackle Tra Thomas combine with draft picks Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton, a pair of highly- regarded offensive linemen, to add depth to the club.
Also gone is running back Fred Taylor, a Jaguar since being drafted by the team in 1998 who amassed 11,271 yards rushing and 70 total touchdowns in 11 seasons.
The Colts hold a 12-4 edge in the regular season series with Jacksonville, including an unconventional split of last year's home-and-home. Indy was a 23-21 home loser when the teams met in Week 3 of last season, but the Colts returned the favor with a 31-24 victory at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in Week 16. The Colts swept the 2007 home-and-home, including a 28-25 win when the teams met in Indy.
Jacksonville head coach Jack Del Rio is 4-8 against the Colts as a head coach, while Indianapolis' Caldwell will be meeting both Del Rio and the Jaguars for the first time as a head coach.
Although he passed for a career-high 3,620 yards last year, Jaguars quarterback David Garrard spent a lot of time under pressure due to his banged-up offensive line, which probably explains his 13 interceptions after throwing just three picks in 2007. It also didn't help that his receiving group included four wideouts -- Reggie Williams, Jerry Porter, Matt Jones and Dennis Northcutt -- who were all let go by the club in the offseason. Right guard Maurice Williams and left guard Vince Manuwai both missed 15 games a year ago due to injury, while center Brad Meester missed six contests. All three are expected to start in this game, as will Britton (Arizona) at right tackle. Monroe (Virginia) could also see a start if newcomer Thomas can't go because of a back injury. They will need to give Garrard time, as Holt (64 receptions, 3 TD with St. Louis in '08) is his only experienced target. Former Viking Troy Williamson starts at the other wideout spot. With Taylor gone, Maurice Jones-Drew (824 rushing yards, 62 receptions, 14 TD) becomes a full- time starter for the first time in his career. He is expected to play in this contest despite suffering a minor injury in Jacksonville's final preseason tuneup.
Jones-Drew draws a good assignment this weekend, as the Colts ranked just 24th against the rush last year, though they were sixth in pass defense. Not only will defensive tackles Antonio Johnson (13 tackles) and Daniel Muir have to find Jones-Drew's tiny frame at the line, but ends Mathis (48 tackles, 11.5 sacks) and Freeney (28 tackles, 10.5 sacks) and Indianapolis' linebacking group, led by Gary Brackett (99 tackles) in the middle, will have to account for his ability to dart to the outside. Second-round pick and defensive tackle Fili Moala (USC) will also get a chance at stuffing Jones-Drew at the line. Clint Session (94 tackles) will see a new role, as he shifts from the strong linebacker position to the weakside, while Tyjuan Hagler (27 tackles) takes his old spot opposite Session. Jacksonville may elect to try and go to Holt deep, as Colts safety Bob Sanders is out with a knee injury. It is unknown when Sanders will return to action, but he missed practice time this week. Free safety Antoine Bethea (hand) and corner Kelvin Hayden (hamstring) also battled preseason injuries, but should be okay for this contest. Melvin Bullitt (72 tackles, 4 INT) starts in Sanders' place.
The Colts began last season with two losses in three games as Manning was slowed early on due to offseason knee surgery. Once he got up to speed, Indianapolis took off, with Manning throwing for 4,002 yards and 27 touchdown passes. He shouldn't have a hard time getting into an early groove in this one, as Manning has thrown 29 career TD passes versus the Jaguars. However, for the first time in his career he won't have Marvin Harrison to throw to, as the longtime wideout was released this past offseason. That shifts the spotlight completely on Wayne (82 receptions, 6 TD) and Anthony Gonzalez (57 receptions, 4 TD). Tight end Clark will also be a target, as he notched 77 catches and six touchdowns last year. What the Colts would like to do is get the ground game going. They ranked 31st in rushing in 2008, with featured back Joseph Addai accounting for 544 yards and seven touchdowns. He also missed four games due to injury last year, so Indy added first-round pick Donald Brown to the mix. The team's offensive line will also try to stay intact, as eight different lineman made starts a season ago.
Jacksonville will need to create pressure to prevent Manning from getting comfortable, but that was a season-long struggle for the club in 2008. No Jacksonville player reached even five sacks last year, with ends Reggie Hayward (24 tackles, 4.5 sacks) and Derrick Harvey (19 tackles, 3.5 sacks) combining for just eight of them. That lack of pressure caused the Jags to rank 24th versus the pass. Cornerback Rashean Mathis (40 tackles, 4 INT) is the leader of the secondary, but missed four games due to injury. He returned a pick 61 yards for a score versus the Colts last year. Free safety Reggie Nelson (54 tackles, 2 INT) will look to bounce back from a subpar sophomore season, while former Eagle Sean Considine appears in line to start at the strong safety spot. Daryl Smith (69 tackles, 2.5 sacks) starts in the middle at linebacker, flanked by Justin Durant (70 tackles) and Clint Ingram (38 tackles, 2 sacks).
Jones-Drew owners will get their first look at him as a featured back, and he draws a favorable matchup as well. Garrard is a tough start, even without Sanders in the Colts' lineup, while Holt should be the main focus of Indy's pass defense and may have trouble finding room. Manning, meanwhile, has done well versus the Jaguars in the past and is a must-start along with Wayne, Gonzalez and Clark. Addai owners will likely see how many carries Brown is going to take away, so start another option if possible. Neither defense is a great choice, as Jacksonville was able to score points off the Colts last year, while the Jags' D has to deal with Manning.
Don't expect the Colts to miss a beat just because Dungy is gone. They are still the team to beat in the AFC South thanks to a star-studded offense, though the defense will miss Sanders. The Jaguars feel they are once again ready to take a run at that crown and were able to play Indianapolis tough in 2008, but a healthy Manning will be the difference in this one. Jones-Drew's preseason injury also makes the task a bit more difficult for the Jaguars. When all is said and done, Indianapolis extends its regular-season winning streak to 10 games.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Colts 28, Jaguars 17

Why am I only attractive to powerful men? Or men who hold alot of authority? Why do I like being told what to do?
Just your personality and preferences. There's nothing wrong with that, *as long as you respect yourself* and are not a doormat.
Maybe you have a compliant personality.

Maybe you prefer to have someone take care of you because you lack confidence or self esteem.

Maybe you grew up with a domineering parent so you learnt to be submissive
It's a simpler life not thinking for yourself.
A man who can't stand for what he believes in is not a partner you want
you probably have some submissive tendencies are are drawn to strong powerful men. (im not saying your into playing dom/sub as a life) you probably find comfort in structure and guidelines with clear expectations..may be nuturing and giving, a people pleaser at times..pm me if im right :). just remember no matter how good looking, how sucessful, how powerful you deserve to be safe respected and treated fairly.

A 25-year-old professional snowmobiler has died from injuries he sustained during a horrific crash during the Aspen X Games last week.
Caleb Moore passed away this morning in Colorado, a family spokesperson said.
Moore's family declined to release further details about the death, but stated on Sunday that he had suffered a "brain complication" stemming from the accident ... on top of a severe concussion and bleeding of the heart.
Moore was competing at the snowmobile freestyle final last Thursday when his 450-pound snowmobile flipped over and landed on top of him.
ESPN released a statement Tuesday, saying, "We've worked closely on safety issues with athletes, course designers and other experts for each of the 18 years of X Games. Still, when the world's best compete at the highest level in any sport, risks remain."
Caleb -- once an avid all-terrain vehicle rider -- was a 4-time X Games medalist who first began competing in 2010, after just one month of practicing on snowmobiles.
Changes have to be made or eliminate the event all together and I love snow boarding
"professional snowmobiler"?! Get a real job.
Very sad. My condolences to Caleb's family, friends, and fans.
Dear Friends and Family,
Recently my Mother died of a brain injury sustained in an accident. It was so SO un real and I just want to send my deepest sincerest condolences and say that my heart and prayers are with you all now. May your loved one TRULY Rest In Peace Much LOVE*jA
these people are stupid. this shouldnt be a sport. this was negligence on the part of these foolish people who does this to please others and call it a sport
Not many people make their mark on the World, period.
Let ALONE by age 25.
We'll miss you, dude -
You gave it everything you had -
this is not a sport these people are dumb insane and stupid. why fly in the air with 600 lbs. hope they banned this sport.
RIP CALEB you'll be missed bro, now show the heavens what the X-games are about. While everyone comments negativity about the sports, its meant to be a crazy sport about athletes who can do the crazy tricks, much respect for the daring
RIP you died doing what you loved. I hope to be so lucky! Thanks for going balls to the wall in a crazy sport! extreme athletes are the best!
That's sad :(
Damn. That is too bad. People wanna knock how he wasn't competing in a 'real' sport. What he did took a hell of a lot more balls than these other 'athletes' who just run and throw a damn ball. He at least died doing something he was passionate about instead of drug overdoses like those other 'athletes'.
Stupid idiotic so called sports that seen to attract a certain type of morons. Who cares?????
Wow....way to insult someone who isn't around anymore to defend himself people. I don't follow the sport, or know who this individual even is, but he is now left with a greiving family, and you idiots come here to insult him!? Have a little more class!
oh wow! such a horrible story :(
i pray the family and those he left behind can find some way of finding some kind of peace, may you rest in peace caleb moore
From scrolling through and reading some of the comments here I am frankly appalled that there are so many of you in this world that have no compassion for human life, and yet you wonder why there are so many senseless shootings at your schools, theaters, etc.
Caleb was one of many extreme athletes who do that kind of stuff on a daily basis. They understand getting hurt is part of the job, a job that makes them millions if they are good at what they do. If you want to blame anyone blame the sponsors and the fans who pay big money to see them risk their lives for entertainment.

55 years after crossing the U.S. border and eventually settling in Lawrence, one thing hasn't changed for Montreal native Yvon Pinet.
"I love the Canadiens," said the 76-year-old former carpenter, who lives with his daughter's family in Haverhill, in broken English. "How can I not? I was born in Canada. My favorite all-time player was Maurice Richard. I always root for the Canadiens. Always."
There is one problem. His 17-year-old granddaughter, Marlayna Buco, lives in the same house. And while we won't get into her true feelings about the Canadiens — "They are weak!" she said — her love of the Bruins is, she says, unconditional.
"I love the way they play," said Marlayna, whose bedroom is adorned with Bruins pictures and posters. "They're tough. They're exciting. Hockey is my favorite sport. It's never boring. And I love the Bruins."
The grandfather-granddaughter grudge match started in earnest on Tuesday at dinner, shortly after the NHL finally announced the series schedule, with opening night tonight at the T.D. Garden at 7:30 p.m. (NBC Sports Channel).
"It's the same argument he always uses. He started talking about the Bruins being too rough and always hitting," Marlayna said. "I said, 'No, it's that the Canadiens are too weak.' He likes the skating. I like the hitting. So we disagree there."
The arbiter in this battle is the one in the middle, Pinet's daughter and Marlayna's mom, Christine Pinet-Buco, who is enjoying the matchup from afar.
"I've come to learn with these two that it's better not to root against anybody," said Pinet-Buco. "My dad started a carpentry business here and he brought with him a love of hockey. When they start arguing, he seems to throw in, 'Who gave you hockey? Canada!' I do enjoy the fact they really love their teams."

Before there was a Tea Party, there was a tea party. If you know what I mean. As I'd noted in the past, those kids could stage their version of Boston Harbor that quick.
We heard all the old standbys without which no childhood is complete. "All of my friends get to A, B and C," they'd say. This could be anything from staying up all night to playing video games 'til their eyeballs fell out to adopting a food pyramid made entirely of candy.
Then this, "None of my friends have to X, Y or Z." This ran the gamut from "clean their rooms" to "take out the trash" to "lift a finger." Having made their point with clever flip charts and graphs, the disgruntled colonists would rest their case.
Which is when the British (aka Local Authorities) would repeat the old standbys without which no parental career is ever complete. "If all of your friends jumped off of a cliff like little lemmings, would you jump, too?" And, "If you're really that hungry, you can have seconds on broccoli." And this: "I have a degree in slave driving from the University of Egypt. I can't let it go to waste."
If those staging the coup would pull a face or roll their eyes, we'd use one more. "Your face could freeze like that, you know."
No, this wasn't a vote center on hot-button issues. You had to draw your battle lines, parents did, because once you had more than two, you were outnumbered. And that's when anarchy could break out.
In my family of origin, the count was 3-2. Three kids, two parents. But in Mr. Schrock's family, it stood at 5-2, overwhelming odds in anyone's book.
They were a pack, those five, having arrived in exactly six years. A little herd's what they were, able to start a revolution at the drop of a cookie box. It was especially disconcerting when they revolted en masse in the back of the family station wagon. With no seat belt laws, things could go to a very hot place in a proverbial hand basket, and fast.

Mark Teahen is bad at third base, yet he keeps getting starts there. This time it costs the White Sox big in a loss to the Tigers
The White Sox had their 7-game winning streak snapped, and may be forced to go to a 4-man rotation for the rest of the season.
Chris Sale earned his first major league victory with 2.2 spotless innings of relief Monday. The win pushed the White Sox winning streak to 7, but thanks to Minnesota's 8-2 record over the last 10...

Last 4 road games have all been brutal extra-inning affairs.
Manny Ramirez has been claimed by an unknown team
The White Sox got back on track, keeping pace with the Twins with their first series victory since the beginning of August.
Manny Ramirez and Oney Guillen may not be on the team, but they're the main focus of Sox-related news this morning
There can be an argument made that Joe West cost the White Sox this series (and maybe the season in the process), but that's the type of excuse losers make. The Comcast Sports Net broadcast was...

Select Route:
A great warmup for some of the stouter lines, this route has a tricky, polished crux low followed by continuous, pumpy climbing. A fun, stout overhang leads to the delicate crux, then up and right through the overlap and on to the anchors.
Still in the main area of White Mtn, this is the route just left of the bolders on the ground that you scramble up to get the area with The Pheonix, Stone Dog, etc. A somewhat stout overhanging start can use a good spot until the first bolt is clipped. Stay right at the fork in the bolts: this route shares the start with Wall of Attrition, 11c.

The affair also sullies the book by Broadwell and Washington Post editor Vernon Loeb, which was highly praised. The prurient may read it, for clues to the Petraeus/Broadwell relationship. But how can anyone else now believe it is an objective account of his personality and leadership? I'm betting that Tom Brokaw, Doris Kearns Goodwin and others whose praise is noted on the publisher's website would love a chance at a rewrite.
Here's an example from Mark Bowden, author of the acclaimed "Black Hawk Down": "Anyone seeking to understand the nature of American warfighting in the 21st century, how it is both like and utterly unlike that of any previous one, needs to understand Petraeus, his remarkable career, his thinking, and his character. All In is an excellent place to start. It is fascinating and insightful, informed by remarkable access to the man both on and off the battlefield."

FICCI moots measures to enlarge tax base
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Jan. 21
THE Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has suggested a multi-pronged agenda to effect a five-fold increase in the number of taxpayers from the current base of 3 crore to 15 crore by 2010.
The chamber has called for reducing the tax burden and the cost of compliance to control tax evasion.
In a paper on widening the tax base and reduction in tax evasion, FICCI has pointed out that the tax/GDP ratio in the country is one of the lowest in the world, a phenomenon that breeds inequity, leading to tax evasion and corrupt practices.
Measures suggested to enlarge the tax base and encourage voluntary compliance includea flat 15 per cent tax be levied on agricultural income over Rs 5 lakh. It has also asked for allowing deduction for contributions to candidates nominated for elections by recognised political parties.
The paper has also urged bringing more services under the tax net and controlling inspector raj.
A wider tax base leads to enhancing the tax-GDP ratio of a country because it is usually followed by an aggressive move of reduction of tax rates, the paper said. This strategy increases revenues of the State without evoking irrational behaviour from the assessees wherein they decide to evade tax due to excessive tax compulsions causing inefficiencies to creep into the tax system.
"We must simplify, rationalise and modernise our tax structure and streamline our administrative procedures to reduce tax burden and compliance cost to encourage voluntary compliance and induce persons to come forward in the tax net," it said. Towards this end, the fiscal policies should be compatible with the core economic policy goals of promoting efficiency, equity, rationality and high quality growth, it stated. "We should generate additional resources only through a non-distortionary tax regime supportive of savings and growth-oriented investments," FICCI in its paper said. Regarding rationalisation of tax rates, the chamber said moderate tax level is inevitable not only for industrial and economic growth but also for encouraging voluntary compliance and widening the tax base. It is important that the corporate tax rate is brought down to 30 per cent to enable corporates to be on level playing field, to be competitive and on growth path to create larger job opportunities.
Income slabs and the tax rates for individuals should also be remodelled with maximum rate of 30 per cent made applicable over an income of Rs 10 lakh and threshold exemption limit raised to Rs 1 lakh for all individuals.

The con- ventional interface involves using a browser-based GUI on the Akamai enterprise portal. A second interface involves uploading and provisioning via SOAP-based Web services that can be invoked programmatically. IBM and Akamai have developed a plug-in for WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) in the form of a GUI export wizard, shown in Figure 3. This plug-in securely invokes the EdgeComputing provisioning Web service, and it allows developers to deploy their applications directly from the WSAD environment. In addition to the upload function, the plug-in is being enhanced to provide validation and a simulated unit edge test envi- ronment for the WSAD environment.

Do you hear the ladies sing? Well, you may have missed the Sounds of Change Concert, which aired on June 1, but hopefully, you will be able to feel the effect long after it's over. The Sounds of Change concert was organized by Chimes for Change, a global campaign for girls and women empowerment. Chimes for Change founders Frida Giannini, designer for Gucci, Salma Hayek-Pinault and Beyonce Knowles-Carter wanted to raise awareness and funding for a woman's right to education, justice and health everywhere. The list of celebrities who "chimed" in for this event included Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Prince Harry, Pakistani education activist Humaira Bachal, Florence Welch, Gloria Steinem and many more. The concert raised $4.3 million to fund 200 projects in 70 countries around the world, all meant to empower women globally.View Article
