NFL Thoughts – 2013-14 NFL Off-Season Guide
The 2013-14 NFL season is officially in the books and man, was it a good one or what? We saw all sorts of unexpected things this year. We saw the lovely town of Seattle win their first professional football title. We saw the Kansas City Chiefs go from a two-win team to one of the best team's in the NFL. We saw the Carolina Panthers go from having a a joke of a head coach to turning that same guy into the NFL Coach of the Year. We also didn't see Tim Tebow start an NFL game this season, which is a good thing because finally the entire NFL world has come to the understanding that the guy just can't throw a football. If Bill Belichick can't find a way for you to contribute on the field, it might be time to embrace your inner acting and journalistic bone, which it appears as though Tebow is finally doing.
Anyway, with the 13-14 season behind us, it's time to look ahead. Before we get to next season's plate of games though, we have a wonderful thing called the NFL off-season and this little beauty is a guide that I wrote up to help NFL fans of all shapes and sizes see exactly what kind of shape their favorite NFL team is in headed into the off-season. In this guide, you will find all sorts of delicious information that I'm sure will overwhelm you, but that's what the NFL off-season does to people. It can be exhausting. If you don't believe me, just go interview your local favorite NFL general manager and ask him how much sleep he's been getting. Chances are he'll start repeating NFL combine 40 times and totally confuse the crap out of you.
So, without any further adieu. I present to you…..
Dustin James' 2014-15 NFL Off-Season Guide!

NFL Thoughts – 2013-14 NFL Season Predictions
Welcome, welcome, welcome! If you are a regular reader here at "THE MAN-CAVE" you are more than likely familiar with me. My name is Dustin James and I'm the resident "moronic football predictor" around these parts. Football is easily my favorite sport and I get so excited at the start of the season that I just can't resist predicting any and everything I possibly can. This year is no different. Since I spent a good two months on my college football preview here at "THE MAN-CAVE", I decided to whip up some quick NFL predictions as well. By no means am I an "NFL expert", I just happen to be a huge fan who wants to share his opinion with others. Last year I predicted the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl over the Green Bay Packers and while I kind of whiffed on the Packers, I absolutely nailed my Super Bowl pick. So, considering I'm on a roll right now with my NFL predictions, what do you say we stop wasting time and get to the good stuff already? Sounds good to me……

Next Big Rapper by Krazy-8 - 11 months ago
"Well you see. Krazy-8 is my rapper name. I've been into rap for 5-6 years and will soon be getting a record label/getting signed. I have a "crew" named BlueCrewFlu2. You can go to our website which is www.bluecrewflu2records.weebly.com I also do dubstep and I sing, you can read my bio on my page "Krazy-8" (on the website under that tab) and yeah. At first when I first started writing it was due to me hearing Eminem/Marshal Matters/Slim Shady/Rabbit for the first time, the all time best white rapper in my opinion. Well soon I got into writing books, which turned into short stories, which then turned into trilogies, then novels, then poems, then quotes, then film scripts, then filming itself, then I played bass guitar and was a lead band singer for a while. Then I started rapping on my own and I thought I was the best thing ever, then sooner I became better and even more better. Soon I met a friend of mine who shared my own talents but was into dubstep and wanted to be a dj so we formed our own group called XPKRecords and thought we were the bomb. Well after a couple months he dropped music bc he fell in love with filming. And then I moved. And met more people in highschool and now I have all these people who share my interests. It's amazing really. So check out our website. Please choose me to be the next winner, and even if you don't I'm okay with that I can live with it. I love you all. Spread the word about BlueCrewFlu2 and our website. Thank you for your support and cooperation! Bye!!! "

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
The 'mother' of all Western Constitutions, the American Constitution, has been amended 18 times with, altogether, 27 added amendments. France allowed herself at least fifteen completely new constitutions after the ratification of the first in 1791; not all of which were put into force though. However, one could easily say: Almost every new regime in France had its own 'brand-new' constitution. LOL!
So, what's all the fuss about Hungary's fourth round of amendments since the current constitution was enacted?
The article as well as several readers who posted their comments here claim that democracy is in danger in Hungary, inter alia because "Hungary's Constitutional Court can no longer reject constitutional amendments on matters of substance—only on procedural grounds."
Well, let's have closer look at this issue:
Article 120 says:
"The constitutionality of Acts of Parliament and treaties shall not be
reviewed by the courts."
This indeed sounds like a serious attack on democracy. In fact, as we can see, courts are explicitly prohibited from reviewing not only constitutional amendments, but any Act of Parliament. It is therefore perfectly understandable that the EU Commission, the Council of Europe and the United States express their serious concerns about this provision of the constitution.
Ah, sorry, wait a minute, I just see that I mistakenly copied here Art 120 of the Constitution of the Netherlands..
Well, in this case everything is fine... No doubt, this provision of the constitution is perfectly democratic and fully in line with the rule of law and the basic values of the EU...
We should just not forget to apply our double standard for Hungary.
I think, once again a post correcting mistakes and misunderstandings in the article is in order:
"ignoring pleas for delay from the European Commission, the Council of Europe and America's State Department. "
False. It was only the president of the Council of Europe from the above list who asked for a delay. The others never did ask for it even though they had certain "worries" and criticisms.
"Hungary's Constitutional Court can no longer reject constitutional amendments on matters of substance—only on procedural grounds. "
False because of the "no longer" part. The truth is that the Constitutional Court never rejected any such amendments during its existence. That is a fact.
"The court must also ignore more than 20 years of legal precedent, basing future rulings on the constitution enacted in January 2012."
False. Hungary never had precedent law. As such previous decisions were never binding for the court. In fact the court recently unbanned the swastika and the red star, whereas twenty years prior it always decided that they must be banned, thus ignoring it's own previous precedent.
"including provisions that allow local authorities to penalise the homeless"
False, homelessness per se cannot be penelised. The truth is that local autorities, city councils may ban living on certain limited areas (exl. important squares of a city), if they provide shelter otherwise.
" force university graduates who get state funding to work in Hungary after graduation."
Outright false, and a lie. University graduates are free to leave the day after they graduate. What they must do is pay back the grant as an interest free loan OR work for a few years in Hungary over a 20 year period. In the worst case it's an interest free loan which is legal in the EU as long as normal loans are legal(with worse conditions).
I think it is very easy to mislead people with such articles as long as they are not familiar with the truth. They might get the impression that "University graduates are FORCED to work in Hungary", if they believe what they read in the TE word for word. This kind of misinformation is quite dangerous, possibly.
I agree. Hysterics is what TE does these days when it comes to Hungary. It may have something to do with retrospective taxation of financial institution (some would call them speculators) by Orban's government.These institutions skillfully exploited the corrupt environment created by the previous socialist Hungarian government.
It is curious that TE started noticing shortcomings in Hungarian democracy only after this tax got up. Selective vision?
By the way if TE considers undemocratic legislation introduced by parliament elected in free and secret ballot that marriage is a union of man and woman, they should tell us way.
I'm not lawyer and maybe that's about to become glaringly obvious but if you introduce a new constitution - or fundamental law - how can you use an old constitution to judge it? That would seem like a legal paradox.
I agree that some of the amendments like outlawing homelessness are highly illiberal. It seems similar to the creeping criminalization of homelessness that is going on in many U.S. and European cities with laws against so-called 'aggressive begging' and loitering and the creating of commercial zones where homeless aren't allowed.
Limiting political advertising is exactly what the U.S. is now considering after so-called super pacs basically bought election campaigns there. It seem like a good idea to me to stop rich interest groups buying elections. As for the students, is that really such a big deal - tying scholarships to commitments to work in Hungary for a few years? Arguably, some of these things should not be in the constitution but does that really warrant the hysterics about the end of democracy in Hungary?
Just found this on the web about London's Westminster council seeking to ban homeless people and even soup kitchens:
"Tory council to make homelessness illegal
The Tories have a new policy on homelessness: make it illegal. That is the extraordinary intention of a Conservative flagship council. Worse, they want to ban Salvation Army soup kitchens.
Westminster city council, the richest and most powerful council in the UK, is proposing a new bye-law to ban rough sleeping and "soup runs" in the Victoria area of London. The proposed new bye-law will make it an offence punishable by a fine to "sleep or lie down", "deposit materials used as bedding" and to "give out, or permit another to give out, food for free". "
If the EU criticizes Hungary's homeless law - and I think it should, because criminalizing homelessness is wrong in my view - shouldn't it also publicly condemn Westminster council? That would seem only fair. And if Hungary is forced to strike down its homelessness law shouldn't the EU force Westminster to scrap its law, too?
Cherchez le 'big money' whose toes Viktor has stepped on again.
It's very obvious this constitutional amendment is only a pretext for these rampant attacks.
This is the rough translation of the protesters' demands in Budapest on March 7, 2013.
Fidesz is building an oppressive system.
We protest the destruction of the constitutional system.
We protest that Fidesz writes into the "Basic Law"
passages that were deemed unconstitutional by the Constitutional court.
We protest the narrowing of the power of the on the Constitutional court and
the invalidation of its decisions of the last 22 years.
We protest the elimination of university autonomy financially
and making the students serfs.
We protest the official persecution of the homeless.
We protest the exclusion from the notion of family the childless, non-married
or same-sex couples.
We protest the restrictions on freedom of speech.
We protest the further restrictions on the independence of the judiciary.
We protest the discrimination among the churches.
We protest the restrictions on free elections.
The "Basic Law", created unilaterally by one party is not the legitimate constitution of Hungary.
It serves the power and interests of the Fidesz party only, deprives us of our rights and causes discrimination.
The government is not legitimate because it abused its mandate by intending to obtain and maintain absolute power.
We demand a genuine constitution to Hungary.
All in all the strategy pursued by Orban is a self-defeating one: not only he cannot oppose the European idea, which is an historical accomplishement, but he is unable to propose any solution! Blaming the EU for the hungarian problems, in a time of crisis when friends can be told from foes, is a scape goat that every autocrat did! Taking hold of the media, of the central bank are tactics of the same well-known self-defeating strategy: subordonating those democratic necessities to the political power(this is bizzare in a country with a totalitarian unique-party past).
The exasperation of a part of the hungarian society with the values of Europe, indeed something that europeans, un-rightly so, think no need to explain, only render the hungarians more alienated and more dependent on the civilizational-touranic-mysticism of Orban!
Finally that would be considered only a mental distraction, if the treatement of beggars, of roma minority, more broadly the tendency of leading by decrees (another favourite of dictators) and the economic inepteness, proved not a real danger for the democracy and freedom, another premisses of the western world!
Self-defeating in all, for what is the result of Orban's shenanigans: sheer isolation, an economy in shambles, a political disaster! If Orban wanted that, he totally succeded!
" the EU, the Foreign Secretary are strongly criticizing the developments in Hungary ? "
The biggest problem with the criticism that it is based on newspapers and not the EXACT TEXT of the amendments .
I am a strong supporter of the democracy - and had been when the NOW -SOCIALISTS were the members of the Communist Party in the era of their dictatorship . The present situation - that the governing party has over 2/3-rd of the seats in the Parliament and able to change the Constitution - is the result not only the same economic situation the rest of Europe has but some more things beyond , and unfortunately instead of learning from their mistakes they keep pressing on the wrong track .
Instead of working on the basis of the heritage of the leftist tradition of their country they're running around in Europe for support and instructions - old habits , they the did the same earlier but at that time they traveled to Moscow .
They employ kinda PR-guys , the most infamous is a chap called Werber who know NOTHING about Hungary and the Hungarians and thinks what works in the western part of the continent can be employed and will work here as well . And it NEVER WILL !
And as for Your Foreign Secretary :
They are afraid that we won't ever have that kinda democracy where leaders are MADE - by those who's got the money . ( Read the book : The making of the President ) .
I STRONGLY HOPE we will NEVER have that kind of democracy . You can keep it for Yourselves , we are quite happy to be led by a football player who was not MADE but became the leader of our country BY HIMSELF !
"For now, at least, the EU's mutterings seem of little concern to Mr Orban. He is more confident than ever."
This however is true, and this is because Hungary is much more stable financially. There is no IMF threat to influence negotiations this time around.
"I agree with the facts and figures in the article."
Funny, I fail to see any "fact", but more like the standard tirade along the typical "concerned democrats" line.
FAO of all who ATTACK and not CRITICIZE :
In a country which was under the rule of foreign powers for centuries it is an AUTOMATIC REACTION of its nation to hold together/unite against commands what come from abroad and leaders who work in the interest of foreigners .
Maybe it was his EXACT GOAL with this constitutional amendment and the expected reaction of the West : to line up more people behind him .
He may-be rush , he may-be rude but he IS a great strategist !
Viktor's party has been enjoying - despite the harsh effects of the necessary austerity measures he needed to introduce after the disastrous rule of the post-communists - the biggest support for 79 months , 33 % , the rest is divided between all the other parties .
While in other European countries governments fell as a consequence of mass protests in Hungary hundreds of thousand turn up in support of them in their mass rallies .
I think in next month's survey his support may reach 40 % .
We in Hungary are very concerned about the fate of democracy in the European Union, and the West in general.
Our experience with the former is that unelected, democratically illegitimate bodies such as the European Council, European Commission, Venice Commission, Norwegian Helsinki Commission, are attempting to influence the government in Europe with the largest democratic mandate to maintain pro-left censorship in the media, to keep a communist-style constitution, and in general to undermine Hungarian democracy, and crush our sovereignty. Meanwhile in the EU or USA, people are denied career opportunities for not having the "right" political views, religions, ethnicities, or in worse cases, imprisoned for expressing opinions freely about a political class far removed in intentions and concerns from the general public (Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, and many others).
EU watchdogs use the pretext of "media freedom" to interfere in Hungary's politics, but it is clear that their intentions have nothing in common with their rhetoric, as seen from their efforts to silence some journalists, like Zsolt Bayer.
The EU should become democratic and respect fundamental European values! Unfortunately, nowadays this is not the case, and major reforms will be needed to democratize the European Union. As a first suggestion, how about working out a constitution for the EU which would pass preferabl many, but at least one national referendum, instead of the elitist Lisbon treaty? How about respecting the democratic rights of any EU member state to elect any government they want, and not campaigning against governments with the "wrong" political views? How about universities, press, etc. in which holding the "right" political views is not key to making a career?
Hungary may serve as a good starting point in these achievements. It remains to be seen how new developments in Italy could contribute to democratic reforms in the EU, but certainly the movement of Beppe Grillo offers hope!
Just for a change, it would be nice to specify ONE single fact that violates European laws, and not quoting some ill-defined wooly "values".
Do not forget one thing: in all cases of post communistic coutries the first thing of the new government was to set up a new constitution. As the comunists boycotted this possibility in Hungary, it became obligatory for now to act same way for the active government. Its interesting that there were no comments when Czechoslovakia fell apart, or when Yugoslavia broke to million separate lands... each of these countries, as they were new-born formed a new constitution. The Slovak one starts as following: "We, nation of Slovaks..." It was interesting that nobody cares. The Polish Walesa-goverment went against everybody that time, but they did also do a new constitution to protect their own markets, soil, land, people. Now Hungary is on. Trying to protect their own market, the work of people, the land they changed a white-beared constitution to a perspective new one that fits to the EU norms, what more, its fulfilling to the last point the aim and the demand of paperjaming office moths. But they do not like their own rules. If other colour, other thinking, other nationality is prohibited, than its called dictatory and not democracy. Try to understand, that the hungarians are thinking other way as surrounding people.
And one more thing :
Such a respectable press organ like the Economist should employ journalists who work on the basis of FACTS and not on the basis of insinuations the socialist-liberals from Budapest whisper in their ears .
Opinions may differ but should be made in the knowledge of FACTS .
The text of the amendment is available on the net , please criticize on the basis of it !
" provisions that allow local authorities to penalise the homeless "
Correctly : local authorities will have the obligation to give some shelter to them and to ban them using certain areas as a habitation , this way stopping the situation for instance the subways in historical centers reeking with urine . . .
" to limit political advertising in election campaigns "
Correctly : The political advertisement will appear in the official Radio-TV only , with equal terms , creating a more just and equal situation then the existing when the outcome of the election is not a competition of IDEAS but the competition of the MONEY CHESTS , the result depends on how much advertisement time Parties can pay for in the commercial TV channels .
" to force university graduates who get state funding to work in Hungary after graduation . "
Right ! And those in Western Europe where the doctors-engineers-teachers for whom the university studies were funded by the Hungarian taxpayer would WORK are outraged because they will have less qualified doctors , engineers , teachers FOR FREE - or to be correct - ON THE EXPENSES OF THE HUNGARIAN TAXPAYER .
We are not too much disappointed about this prospects . . .
Dear Sir
You wrote: ". As these will now be part of the constitution, they can be amended only by a two-thirds majority, limiting the scope of future governments to change them."
I don't think you are right here: only the theoretical possibilities are fixed in the constitution. They are implemented in a usual bill, which can be overthrown by every government. What is more, the constitutional court will investigate these bills. When the law breaks the fundamental human rights, they will be overthrown, anyway.
It is not true, that local authorities are allowed to penalise the homeless. The local authorities are allowed to restrict some areas from the homeless. Even that is only possible, if they provide enough shelter for homeless. I don't think it is different in other countries. E.g. there are a lot of homeless in Washington D. C. But I have never seen one living in the Lincoln memorial, although that seems to me a perfect place to stay. Maybe US homeless don't stay there, because they are so patriotic, but I rather believe, they are not allowed to live there.
It is not true that university graduates can be forced to work in Hungary. They can be forced to pay the state founding back, if they are not working in Hungary, which is quite a difference, I think.

I'd like tu say 'welcome' to Mr. Cogan...BUT his statement that his main mission Is "developing strong relationships with the business community of Menlo Park" worries me. What about the community, children, old folks--traffic, library cuts etc. He sounds like an Eastern Chamber of Commerce guy. Is that ALL?
on Dec 14, 2012 at 3:30 pm
What's his experience as a business development manager? What's the City Manager's experience in managing such a position?
on Dec 14, 2012 at 7:17 pm
Uh, he's a "business development manager." That's his job. Not community, children, old folks, etc. The City council sees to all of that. This guy is staff. Let him do his job.

Webcomics to read!
Since I read a LOT of comics in all forms, I figured it would be interesting to start writing a couple of recommendation posts for you guys. Sharing the love for comics and all that. Here are a few webcomics i've been checking out lately. I haven't read all the archives for all of them, but I like what I see so far, so i'm recommending these bad boys.
Troll Tooth is a fantasy/fairytale story based very, very loosely off the story East of the Sun and West of the Moon. The comic follows the young princess Sfen as she journeys to save her abducted brother from an arranged marriage with a troll. Now, it's pretty obvious a fairy tale based plot is kinda my thing. But East of the sun is one of my favorites, and I love seeing awesome retellings of it. And this is an awesome retelling of it.
For many years, Port Jupiter, Florida has housed one of America's largest and most concentrated superhuman populations, with a long history of civil warfare and gang violence. But when the city is faced with a sudden increase in missing persons, someone finally takes matters into their own hands. And that someone is obviously a rag-tag band of misfits with superpowers. I always love stories that try to spin their own tale based on existing superhero stereotypes and tropes. This comic truly has fun with tropes, and is an intriguing coming of age story. Definitely a read for all you masked hero fans.
The Weave
A story about mystery and magic in 1920's New York, about a girl who's luck suddenly takes a strange turn after she starts a new job working as a secretary for a house-bound businessman on a small secluded island in the Hudson Bay. I love the use of the 1920′s, and I love that the creator is most likely going to play a lot with good old fairy lore. So yay! Also, loving the art.
Heart of Roeses
An interesting take on Wonderland, where the people of the Hearts province no longer bear their own hearts. Instead, mechanisms resembling wind-up clocks have been inserted into their chests by their feared Queen, who holds the only key to wind their lives longer. Yeah. Missing hearts, fairy tale worlds, I know, I know. It's obvious where my loyalty lies. But it is a really good use of Wonderland. It's a place that is half-distressing, half-enchanting, as it should be. I recommend it to fans all over.

The night was cold and characteristically still as a man made his way along Allen Street. He was carrying a shopping bag, Sheila Guzman noticed, and wearing just a light jacket. The poor thing must be freezing, the 17-year-old thought, watching from her window on the other side of the street.

And then it blew up.
The home of William and Beatrice Hall, 542 N. 13th St., exploded with a force that ripped off nearby doors, wrenched open drawers and sent a plume of debris across the city. In the hours to come, voices would quaver when asked to describe what happened.
The Morning Call interviewed dozens of people in the hours and days following the Feb. 9 explosion. This is a detailed account of what happened that night, built from the observations of those who experienced it firsthand.
10:48 p.m.: The phone went dead.
At the time, it seemed like no big deal Just a dropped call, Steven Vega thought. And it's not as though he and his girlfriend had been discussing anything special -- just plans to meet the next day before heading out for class at Allen High School.
So from his mother's house on S. Fifth Street, Vega dialed Katherine Cruz's cell number again.
His call went straight to voice-mail. Frowning, Steven tried the number at the house where Katherine, 16, lived with their 4-month old son, Matthew Vega, and her grandmother. Even weirder -- no answer at all.
He tried not to panic, but there was a sick feeling in his stomach. It would be nearly 12 hours before Steven would learn what had happened.
In her bedroom on N. 13th Street, Karen Grabowski felt like she was drowning. Covered in bricks and shingles, pinned to her bed by the ceiling fan, she wondered at first if she was still dreaming. But as she gasped for breath, she knew she was all too painfully awake.
"Ed!" she yelled. "Get this off! The whole roof is gone!"
Her husband dug her out, chucking bricks and insulation right and left, and together they ran downstairs.
10:50 p.m.: An Allentown police officer was on the scene. In fact, he was in the Grabowskis' living room, making sure they left the house.
There was pandemonium on the street. Karen Grabowski could hear the sirens. And she could feel the heat.
"Your neighbor's house is on fire," someone shouted.
It was worse than that. Their neighbor's house was gone.
10:55 p.m.: The first firetruck arrived on the scene. Calls bombarded the city's communication center. And the fire was elevated to a second alarm.

Just how bad was the special-teams effort Sunday?
· Reed's kick-off-return fumbles gave Seattle fields of 18 and 19 yards to navigate
· Reed was called for unsportsmanlike conduct (Q2, 5:39) following a kick return to the 20. The Ravens would start at the 10, run 3 plays for 4 yards, then Koch's 28-yard punt would give Seattle the ball at the Ravens 42.
· Cundiff's first missed field goal gave the Seahawks the ball at the 40 from where they scored their only TD
· Cundiff missed a 2nd opportunity, this from 52 yards (Q2, 0:07) which left the score 19-7 at the half
· Arthur Jones was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following Cundiff's FG (Q3, 0:57) which forced a kickoff from the 20.
Flacco's interception also started the Seahawks at the 4. Each time Seattle started inside the 20 the defense stepped up and held the Seahwaks to a field goal.
The defense played well until the final drive when they surrendered 4 consecutive first downs to allow Seattle to run off the final 5:52. The lack of takeaways was a problem, but this is a game the Ravens could easily have won with a turnover differential of -1.
Of the Seahawks 70 offensive plays, 3 were kneels, so the following is based on 67 snaps:
Versus the Run: 39 plays, 122 yards, 3.1 YPC
Versus the Pass: 28 plays, 208 yards, 7.4 YPP
Overall: 67 plays, 330 yards, 4.9 YPPA
By number of defensive backs:
3 DBs: 5 plays, 5 yards, 1.0 YPPA
4 DBs: 38/180, 4.7 YPPA
5 DBs: 24/145 6.0 YPPA, 1 sack
By number of pass rushers:
3: 1/-9, -9.0 YPP 1 sack
7: None
Individual Notes:
· The Ravens had not allowed 42 rushing attempts (includes the kneels) in a game since 12/26/04 at Pittsburgh. It is tied for the 3rd highest total allowed in team history. While the final drive was frustrating, the Seahawks managed just 3.1 yards per carry with a long run of 8 yards. I don't ever recall seeing a 100-yard rusher have a long run of 8 yards previously (Lynch 32/109).
· It certainly was difficult to assign tackle credit on many of Seattle's runs, but it looks to me like Ngata's total of 11 was inflated by 2. He played solidly despite giving some ground. It was good to see him get after Jackson for his QH (Q2, 4:19). Given where the Seahawks ran the ball, the 2 assisted tackles credited to Cody (who was on the field for 25 rush attempts) was not unacceptable.
· McClain wasn't great in run defense. He was credited with a tackle in the Gamebook that he appears to have missed (Q1, 7:28) on Lynch's 8-yard run up the middle. He missed a tackle on Lynch (Q3, 8:35) in the backfield that turned a loss of 2 into a gain of 1. In coverage, he was part of the problem with the Ravens inability to stop the Seahawks underneath. He was very late covering Lynch on the play that set up the first Seattle TD (Q1, 8:40) which went for a gain of 23. He was also late covering Miller (Q4, 15:00) to allow a gain of 11 (5 + 6 YAC).
· The 50-yard completion (Q2, 7:21) came with an unusual defense on the field. Rather than have Ayanbadejo in with the nickel on 3rd and 9, the Ravens went with 5 heavies (McPhee, Ngata, Redding, Suggs, Kruger), Lewis, and 5 DBs. Carr rushed as Suggs dropped to cover. Pollard and Reed were not able to maintain coverage on Baldwin despite pressure from McPhee forcing Jackson left. The speed on TJ allowed him to get around the corner and get something on the throw. That's an extremely difficult play for a right-handed QB, and one virtually every other QB in the league would simply have thrown away.
· The Ravens went to a 443 defense for 3 pays on the final drive. Albert McClellan was inserted and the Ravens held the Seahawks to 7 yards on 3 plays.
· Carr eluded the block of McCoy (Q4, 13:20) to take down Tate for a loss of 5 (officially a lateral/run) when Seattle lined up in a rarely-seen diamond bunch right. He was credited with a PD on a ball in the back of the end zone that could fairly be called a drop by Baldwin (Q2, 0:57). Otherwise, Carr allowed receptions on the other 5 balls thrown to his assignments. He played soft on Rice (Q2, 3:04) which allowed a completion on a floater by Jackson under pressure from McPhee. The most damaging reception was the 24-yard strike to Tate (Q4, 4:44) that extended Seattle's game-ending drive.
· Webb delivered 3 key PDs. He knocked down the pass for Williams (Q1, 13:41) to force the initial 3 and out. He got a piece of the ball headed for Baldwin (Q1, 5:35) in the end zone to force the Seahawks to settle for 3 points. On the Seahawk's final drive, he knocked down the sideline pass intended for Golden Tate. That last PD was negated when Harbaugh accepted the illegal motion penalty on Tate. On the very next play, Tate caught a 10-yard pass just out of the reach of Webb on the right sideline. That was the only completion to Webb's assignment all day.
· Williams played well with only 2 catches allowed (7 and 10 yards) to his assignments. He gets a point as an instigator for drawing the unsportsmanlike conduct flag on Williams despite what appeared to be reciprocal activity. He recovered to dislodge the ball from Rice (Q3, 8:01) on what would have been a completion of 45+ yards. His highlight of the day and probably the season, however, came on his helmet PD (Q2, 1:45). On that play he had coverage on Miller, but broke off racing back to the end zone for the open Rice. As he arrived, Rice was waiting for the throw, Cary continued through and the ball struck him in the helmet, incomplete.
· McPhee provided excellent pressure. He was in for 15 pass plays, drew a hold on Okung on the Kruger sack (Kruger was also held on the play, but that wasn't called) and pressured Jackson on 4 other occasions (Q1, 13:41 and Q2, 7:21 and Q2, 3:04 and Q4, 9:21).
· Redding also provided significant pressure. He flattened Jackson on the 21-yard pass left to Lynch (Q1, 9:35). He was held by Carpenter (Q1, 3:33) on the same play where Suggs was also held by Okung. Corey blew up Lynch's run right (Q2, 2:38), forcing him to reverse his field into the waiting arms of Jones and Suggs who took him down for a loss of 2. He registered a slow-developing QH on Jackson's long incomplete to Rice that was broken up by Williams (Q3, 8:01). He had pressure on Jackson to force a 1-yard completion (Q3, 6:46). Finally, he registered a QH as TJ grounded the ball at Lynch's feet (Q4, 9:28).
· Whatever you may think of the silly Kruger jokes, the man has arrived as a pass rusher. He pawed at Jackson on Webb's fine PD in the back of the end zone (Q1, 5:35). His sack (Q3, 12:44) came on an outside move on Carpenter when he fought through a hold that went unflagged. Through his first 4 snaps against Jacksonville, he'd played 343 passing plays in his career with 1 sack to his credit. Since then he has recorded 4.5 sacks on his last 43 pass snaps.

During the "Dog Days" of summer, people tend to look for ways to cool off. Some visit a local swimming pool to spend the day in the water. Others seek out a movie theater that has good air conditioning. Shopping malls are also a great choice for people who are looking to cool off during the summer. When these same people go home, however, they rely on their air conditioning units to cool down their homes so that they can relax and not feel the oppressive heat from the outside.
With energy prices skyrocketing around the country, many homeowners are now being forced to make a choice between a comfortably cool home and a low power bill. This is because many who rely on central air notice that their electricity bill increases dramatically during the months they are running their air conditioner. One way to keep cool and still keep a lower electric bill is by using a portable air conditioner.
Energy Efficient
Portable air conditioning units are much more energy efficient than central air. This is mainly because they can be moved from room to room based on which area needs to be cooled down.
A central air conditioning unit is built to cool the entire home, no matter which room a person might be in. By using the portable unit, you will be using electricity to cool only those rooms that people are using.

The peso exchange rate stands at P42.58 to the US dollar, the closing rate last Friday at the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. (PDEx). The weighted average rate stands at P42.611.
91-day T-bill rate falls: 2.073%
The yield on the benchmark 91-day treasury bill declined to 2.073% at yesterday's auction by the Bureau of Treasury from the 2.306% of the previous auction on July 25, while that on the 182-day bill was at 2.250 from 2.784%. The yield for its 364-day paper also declined to 2.750% from 3.236% previously.
Total tenders reached P34.46 billion for the P9 billion T-bills on offer. Meanwhile, the BTr may issue retail bonds in the final quarter of 2011, and is looking at selling 7-year and 10-year debt with a minimum issue of P40 billion, deputy treasurer Eduardo Mendiola said yesterday.
Gold tops $1,700 – New record
HONG KONG (AFP) – The price of gold struck a record high above $1,700 an ounce on Monday with dealers flocking to the safe haven metal as Asian stocks tumbled following Standard & Poor's downgrade of US debt. The price of gold reached $1,704.30 an ounce in Hong Kong trade.
"People are just taking their money out (of other markets), especially from the dollar and euro and investing in gold and the Japanese yen," a Tokyo-based trader told Dow Jones Newswires.
B.O.C. fails to meet July target
The Bureau of Customs (BoC), the government's second largest revenue generating agency, said that it failed to hit its P27.5 billion collection target for July due to tax eroding measures passed by the previous administration.
On the sidelines of Senate's budget hearing yesterday, Customs Commissioner Angelito A. Alvarez said in an interview with reporters the agency, which accounts for about a fifth of government's annual profit, said the target in July was too high.
With the lower than expected collection in July, Alvarez said Customs full-year revenue target of P240 billion will be difficult to attain, but he added that he will last appeal for a much lower goal for 2011. (CSL)
Gov't keeps budget deficit program
The government is keeping its programmed budget deficit ratio of 3 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) this year, equivalent to P300 billion despite the lower than expected fiscal gap in the first semester of 2010.
Budget and Management Florencio B. Abad said the government will accelerate its spending in the remaining months of the year to meet the program. Abad noted that the Department of Public Works and Highways and Department of Education are expected to increase their spending in the second semester of the year. (CSL)
Currently, 1 Philippine peso can be bought with €0.016921, 0.0143769 GBP, and $0.0235294 . Conversely, it would take P60.6592 to exchange for €1, 69.5486 to exchange for 1GBP, and P42.5 to exchange for $1.

Tunisian Judges Protest Delay in Judicial Independence
By Farah Samti | Feb 1 2013executive branch , Judges , main-featured , Ministry of Justice , Mokhtar Yahyaoui ,
As members of the National Constituent Assembly (NCA) began to discuss the judiciary chapter in the draft constitution yesterday, judges are protesting the delay in ensuring judiciary independence from executive and legislative powers.
The Association of Tunisian Judges announced earlier this week that they would wear red badges as a sign of protest in order to express dissatisfaction with the situation of the judiciary two years following the revolution. Former president of the Supreme Council of Magistrates and one of the rare figures who stood against ousted Tunisian president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, Mokhtar Yahyaoui, explained to Tunisia Live the reasons behind the judges' protest.
"There has been a lot of procrastination when it comes to creating a temporary judiciary committee. … The Ministry of Justice is still relying on an old council [Supreme Council of the Magistrates] that has to be dissolved," he said.
Under the former regime of Ben Ali, the judicial system lacked autonomy and was completely controlled by executive power. Despite high expectations that judicial independence would accompany democratic transition, the judiciary is in crisis, said Raouda Karafi, vice president of the Association of Tunisian Judges.
"The independence of the judiciary depends on the neutralization of judges," Karafi said. "Both temptation and fear have to be avoided in order not to put pressure on the judges' decision. … The executive branch is in charge of appointing, transferring, disciplining and rewarding judges. It doesn't make sense."
When asked about the Supreme Council of Magistrates, Karafi echoed Yahyaoui, saying that the choice of council members must be based on qualifications and independence in order to avoid political competition. She went on to say the executive branch interferes with decisions of higher appeals courts.
Additionally, Karafi pointed out the delay in the creation by the NCA members of a temporary committee to supersede the council.
"All these reasons make the judiciary a weak branch," she said.
However, Faouzi Jeballah, adviser at the Ministry of Justice, denied any relation of the ministry with problems faced by Tunisian judges.
"We are also harmed by the delay, but it's in the hands of members of the NCA and not the ministry," he said.
Jeballah justified the ministry's lack of response to the judges' demands, saying that the temporary committee must be created by NCA members before reforms can move forward.
The legitimacy argument is not valid, argued Jeballah.
"It's true that the council has members who were there under the regime of Ben Ali, but there are also judges who were judges under the regime of Ben Ali," he said.
On their second day of addressing the judiciary section at the NCA, the sub-committee charged with drafting new laws and procedures for the judiciary gathered to start creating bodies related to judiciary reform. Monia Kassri, a member of the sub-committee and representative of the ruling Ennahdha party, explained the delay by rejecting the draft law presented by the Association of Tunisian Judges last August.
"According to rules of the NCA, if an article of a draft law is dropped while being discussed at a plenary session, it cannot be presented to the plenary for a second time before six months," she said.
Given that reform takes time, especially based on the current way the system is organized, the Ministry of Justice did not spare efforts to help, Kassri added.
"The ministry tried to reform the council by adding independent figures until a new one is formed," she said.
The Supreme Council of the Magistrates will consist of both elected and appointed judges.
According to Kassri, the sub-committee to create a new constitutional court is "a revolutionary achievement to protect the constitution from similar past mistakes."

text: If you've noticed that the server that's home to devilishly addicted indie darling Minecraft has been a little slow this week, there's a good reason why. A group of what are apparently disgruntled players of the game have orchestrated a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the hardware, overwhelming it and — at least for a time — bringing it to its knees. In a post on the notorious message board 4chan, a person claiming to represent the group said that the DDoS attack was designed to "send [ Minecraft creator Markus Persson] a clear message of how the future of Minecraft will turn out unless he gets to work, namely by influencing the amount of sales taking place, due to the attacks." On his blog , Persson has stated that he's "signed up for a DDoS protection service, and took the chance to upgrade the server hardware to a much more powerful beast." The latter is still a work in progress.

Canning, Cooking, Edibles, Fall, How-To-Projects, Inspirational Articles, Recipes,
Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
I'm always asked and it's always my response. That's as close to hearing excitement about the process as you'll get from me. As one who likes clever shortcuts to tasks, I've yet to hone my tomato canning process to anything less than around an hour and a half. After the jars are sterilized; the pot of water for blanching boils; the tomatoes are skinned, cored, cut, and placed in the jars; the pressure in the canner builds up; and the tomatoes are processed, the end result of staring at just 7 jars of tomatoes on my counter is a bit disappointing. Knowing I need 60-70 jars to carry us through the year could have a little to do with that feeling of discouragement.
You might wonder why I bother if it's not something I enjoy, especially since I could pluck 7 cans of tomatoes off the grocery store shelf in under 30 seconds. Of course having control over the quality of the food that goes into our bodies would be the popular answer, and it is a fantastic and important benefit; it is the foremost reason I do it. But, for someone like me who thrives on the sentimental things in life, another reward lies a few months down the road. In January and February, when I pull one of those jars of tomatoes off my pantry shelf, I hold in my hand a symbol of warmth, of green, of the smell of earth, all things that are missing during those cold winter months. Remembering that we planted, watered, protected from destructive pests, and then harvested from the plants the gems that are in the jar I hold in my hand, well, it reminds me that sometimes waiting on your reward makes it that much better. It reminds me that days of more enjoyable weather are coming. Somehow I don't think I'll be reminded of warmer days, greener landscapes, and the smell of earth while plucking a can of tomatoes from the grocery store shelves.
So as I can and feel less than enthusiastic about it, I think to myself, "I'll be grateful for it in February." And I can find contentment in the process because I know it's true.

Recipe by: joojii
These are my all time favourite biscuit. The recipe comes from my maternal grandmother. I have very fond memories of going on summer holidays to her house and enjoying snacking on these incredibly tasty treats. Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the centre - though be careful, they're addictive and the whole batch will be gone before you know it!

Seven hedge fund portfolio managers and analysts have been charged in a $61.8m insider trading scheme as US authorities escalate their crackdown on Wall Street corruption, writes the FT. Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested three hedge fund managers in New York, Boston and Los Angeles on Wednesday morning. According to the unsealed complaint, the "circle of friends" once worked together at other investment firms and swapped information about Dell's first and second quarter 2008 earnings and other technology companies in exchange for tips and cash payments. The criminal charges highlight how US prosecutors and the FBI are escalating their investigation into insider trading, dubbed "Perfect Hedge" and the probe is expected to lead to charges against other individuals, people familiar with the matter say. The Securities and Exchange Commission also filed civil fraud charges on Wednesday. The WSJ journal reports that investigators have enlisted the help of an extensive range people, including those employed at various money managers, as the scope of investigations has widened.

Going by runs created
If Uggla played the way he's "suppose" to (career line of .258/.338/.481), he'd add 8 more runs. If Cody did (.255/.315/.476), that's 9 more.
If ricky pitched the way he was suppose to (FIP 4.34, career ERA 4.49), we'd have 16 less runs against.
That also isn't then including the fact that Cody and Uggla would have more PA and Ricky would have more IP.
That would then put us at 176-156 RS-RA instead of 159-172. We currently have a .461 Pythagorean win % (16-19 current record, 74 win season). If they were right, we'd have a .560 (19-16 current record, 90 win season).
When it comes to our offense, we knew what we were getting out of Boniacio and we knew there was a decent sized chance Maybin would fail. We knew Anibal and Miller were questionmarks. Optimistically, we could look at us as being a mid-90's team. Looking at those 4 to fail, we'd probably be a mid-80's team.
Having all 4 of those fail, plus having 3 good regulars have the bottom taken out beneath them is what's put us on this slide.
If Uggla goes back to .800+, cody goes back to 800+, Ricky goes back to sub-4 the rest of the way, we should still be fine. Some breaks go our way and we'd be better than fine. And based off how they're "doing" (cody and uggs hit LDs and such, Ricky still King and not BBing guys, ect), I think they can go back to those things.

Mohr top amateur at Open
Paul Mohr from Scottsbluff is your 2013 Wells Fargo Nebraska Open Low Amateur. Mohr shot a third consecutive one-under-par 70 Sunday in Columbus to finish the tournament at three-under-par which was good enough for a three shot win over Benjamin Maschka of Omaha.
Ryan Dillon of New River, AZ started his round off with an opening bogey on his first hole then went on to make six birdies and capture the 2013 Nebraska Open.
First round co-leader John Hurley of Spring, TX made an eagle on the par four #12 to take the solo lead at 12-under-par. Bogies on holes #13 and #14 slowed Hurley down and finished the tournament at 10-under-par and in second place. Dillon trailed the leaders most of the day until back to back birdies on holes #12 and #13 propelled him with striking distance of Hurley. Dillon followed up with birdies on the par five #15 hole and made a great putt on #18 for birdie to secure the victory. Opening round co-leader, Scott Gutschewski of Elkhorn, NE finished tied for third after posting an even-par 71.
The Wells Fargo Nebraska Open is endorsed and operated by the Nebraska Section of the PGA and the Nebraska Golf Association and coordinated by Nebraska Public Power District. The proceeds are donated to the Nebraska Community College Foundation, which awards scholarships to hundreds of Nebraska students in need attending five community colleges in the state. These colleges include Central Community College, Columbus, Hastings & Grand Island; Southeast Community College; Lincoln, Milford & Beatrice; Northeast Community College, Norfolk; Mid-Plains Community College, North Platte & McCook; and Western Nebraska Community College, Sidney & Scottsbluff.

Today was a quiet day on the competition floor for the collision repair, auto refinishing and auto service groups. Most of the day was spent on the written testing, and interview simulations that student competitors are graded on as part of the overall contest. Tomorrow, though, will see lots of hands-on as the various groups complete the required stations. For the collision repair technology contest, 72 students will face off in 4 different hands-on stations. The automotive refinishing group has a total of 69 student competitors, also competing on 4 different stations. Last, but not least, the automotive service group has a total of 88 high school and post secondary students competing, and face a daunting 16 required stations with only 20 minutes allowed per station. I can't wait to watch these young men and women in action!
This is the 48th year of the competition, which has grown from 54 students to over 5,600! The contest floor takes up the space of 16 football fields and the amount of materials, equipment and tools needed to make this event happen is mind boggling! It is a tribute to the dedication of our public school vocational instructors, their supportive school districts, and the active support of over 1100 private sector companies and organizations. And while this is the national level culmination of various local and state events, SkillsUSA is about a lot more than who wins and who losses. It is a teaching modality embraced by these teachers and students, focusing not only on learning the technical skills needed, but the people skills as well. Leadership, team work, and community service are all essential elements of the SkillsUSA way of doing things.
And it shows. These young men and women are on fire!
For more information on the SkillsUSA program, log on to SkillsUSA.org. And don't forget to support the efforts of your local school system by volunteering for their Industry Advisory committee or offering to speak to the class about your experiences in the workplace!

Dougherty County Police are investigating a check fraud scheme. They have arrest warrants for three people they say tried to cash bad checks at Albany liquor stores
23-year-olds Stephen Green and Brittney Jennings are charged with forgery and theft by deception for cashing bad checks at Jaxx Liquor store.
34-year-old Geon Floyd is also charged for cashing a bad check at Jaxx and National Liquor Store.
Police say the routing and account numbers are legit, but not for the business that's printed on the check.
"If you see these kind of checks, call us,"said Sgt. Chad Kirkpatrick with Dougherty County Police. "Take every step you can to verify it. Just because it has a verification number on the check and you call it does not mean the check is verified."
Police wanted to get the word out to warn other businesses. More than $4,000 were cashed illegally. Other charges could be filed against those three suspects.
Anyone with information leading to arrests can call Crime Stoppers at (229) 436-TIPS or Dougherty County Police at (229) 430-6600.

In the "3 Man Weave" BS Report part 2 (12 / 30), Bill Simmons has the following quote at the 14:50 min mark when talking about Tyreke Evans:
"The thinking would be, he would play like Brandon Roy as used by the PISTONS."
Come on, Bill. Again? Fool me once... etc. and so on.
It makes me wonder how the wires got crossed in BS's mind. Blazers ==> Pistons. Maybe he's like Wikipedia. At first, we assumed all the information on WP was solid. It was new and we like it. But now we know that it's not. I like Bill Simmons. So, this is more of a "slap my head" / LOL kind of thing. But I do get the feeling he really doesn't respect the Blazers.
