Billy Cioffi, 35-year veteran of the grueling and magnificent Los Angeles music scene, was born in Albany, NY. At age 16 he was signed with his band, The Grey Things, to Laurie Records and toured as the opening act of musical icons (The Allman Brothers, The Velvet Underground, The Byrds, the Lovin Spoonful, and The Rascals).
Afterwards, Cioffi relocated to Los Angeles to play and record with rockabilly legend Gene Vincent, Sir Douglas Sham, along with various other session players for RCA Records. He joined the band Hokus Pokus and released one album. Then he busied himself with session work and songwriting chores for various groups like The Hello People. Working as staff songwriter, Cioffi was asked to form a band with Euro trash Detroit legend Scott Richardson to inaugurate the comeback of Phil Spectors legendary vocalist Darlene Love for a New Years Eve show. This was the debut of the Monte Carlos, and it was to shape Cioffis musical career for the next decade.
The band, with Cioffi as its guitarist/ leader, were bombarded with offers to tour and record with the greatest of Rocks legends : Chuck Berry; Ben E King; Lesly Gore... Many artists would often demand promoters fly the Monte Carlos thousands of miles to get the sound that only them could deliver. Cioffi also enjoyed 5 memorable years as musical director for the New York City Doo Wop Shows at Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles. During this time, Cioffi formed a special bond with the late and R&R Hall of Fame inductee Del Shannon. The Montes became Dels band of choice, performing on his last recordings.
Along the way Cioffi performed as a guitarist for Turtles gigs while working with Mark Volman, Mitch Ryder and guitar legend Steve Hunter. He continued writing and placed compositions in a number of films and TV shows. He also recorded a solo album « Dangerous Type » (a Billboard Pick), along with two Monte Carlos CDs titled « The Monte Carlos and American Episodes », both making semifinals in 4 Grammy categories.
Now relocated in Phoenix (AZ) Billy Cioffi mentors several promising talented artists in close relationship with Olivier Zahm (Electric Lotus Music) and dedicates himself to AmeriCamera.

Thirty years ago I took aim at theory and research concerning the role of cognition in depression. I fired away at research studies appearing in the best of journals like beer bottles lined up on a fence. Cognitive therapy and its associated theory provided the unchallenged, dominant perspective on depression at the time. No one had ever written such a sustained, harsh critique or, at least, no one had ever gotten one published.
Dr. Beck was the major inspiration for the work that I was criticizing, and some of the key studies were his own. I was too taken aback to respond. What could I say, especially when he was being so gracious and disarming in accepting my criticisms?

Happy Fourth from the Editors!
Wednesday, July 4, 2012
The Editors.
From coast to coast, we editors at The Architect's Newspaper hope you have a fun and safe Independence Day! We'll be out of the office on the Fourth, but here's an innovative take on fireworks for your enjoyment, a birds-eye perspective taken from a camera attached to balloons right in the middle of the action. [Via Boing Boing.]
A Film About Rem By his Son and OMA
Monday, June 25, 2012
The Editors.
The film My Architect, the story of Louis Kahn's son on a mission to discover and understand his father, won over the hearts and praise of even the lay-est of architectural laypersons. The effects of which—a fresh spotlight on the work and life of a brilliant designer—did not fall on blind eyes. Tomas Koolhaas is making a film about his father, Rem Koolhaas—see the Facebook page!—called REM set to debut in 2013. It also appears from rough clips that the CCTV building in China will play a central role in the story. Awesome! We can't wait to see this quaint little film about a humble and modest architect and his role in designing the media headquarters for political oppression and censorship in China. We'll get the popcorn!
YKK AP Enlists Students to Rap About Green Facades
Friday, May 18, 2012
Michael Storm.
"The Energy Tour" is a music video and performance tour premiering at the AIA 2012 convention, happening now in Washington D.C. Produced by YKK AP America, the video introduces the new YUW 750 XT unitized wall system, part of the company's enerGfacade product line.
Part advertisement, part SNL Digital Short, part amateur YouTube upload, the video features two Ohio State students in suits rapping about new YKK AP products, "Listen up the saving starts now,/ Come and roll with us and we'll show you how./ To minimize costs and reduce heat gain,/ What they say is we'll make it rain."
YKK AP America has used YouTube before, including a "Building a Better Tomorrow, Today" video competition and another enerGfacade product release video, both in 2010. With a simple beat and scenes of dancing architects excited about energy efficiency, this new video is a novel, youth-oriented addition to advertising for the design community.
Video> The Hectic New York of the 1920s
Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Branden Klayko.
For your afternoon enjoyment, check out this silent film from 1921 we spotted at the Urbanophile called Manhatta. The short film by Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler documents city life in Lower Manhattan during a typical day, from the arrival of a ferry at the Battery Maritime Building to construction of skyscrapers to a Manhattan sunset. Our favorite scenes, however, are the chaotic streets ("Where the city's ceaseless crowd moves on, the live long day.") filled with people, cars, buggies, trolleys, elevated rail lines, and bikes all moving in the same shared space. Take a look.
Video> Watch Moussavi's MOCA Cleveland Take Shape
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Alan G. Brake.
The new home of Cleveland's Museum of Contemporary Art is rapidly taking shape. Designed by Farshid Moussavi, the faceted design is both iconic and responsive to its wedge-shaped site, packing a lot of visual and programmatic punch within a small envelope and with a small budget. The Museum has been keeping a video record of the building going up. Read More
Foster on Film
Thursday, February 2, 2012
The Editors.
Norman Foster, who, as writer Mark Lamster has noted, "even in his 70s, has the look of a heavy in a Guy Ritchie film," skis, sketches, and visits his childhood home in Manchester, England, in the film How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster?, a documentary produced by the architect's wife that screened on January 25, at the IFC Center. Directed and dreamily photographed by Norberto Lopez-Amado and Carlos Carcas, the film moves seamlessly between irresistible images of Foster's buildings, and the man himself, dashing between projects, reflecting on his career, and earning praise from scriptwriter Deyan Sudjic on everything from his work ethic to his wardrobe. "Everything inspires me," says Foster early in the film. "Sometimes I think I see things others don't."
Video> Eames Elephants Go On Safari
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Sam Lubell.
If you love the Eames Office (and who doesn't?) you need to see this new video by Eames Demetrios, grandson of Charles and Ray Eames, who took several of their famous elephants on safari with him at the Malamala Game Reserve in South Africa. The stop-action video accomplishes what few in the design world have been able to: it brings the already playful pieces to life, wearing pith helmets, bumping around in their jeep, wrestling and checking out zebras, water buffalo, and other creatures (but curiously no elephants). Good news: it appears there will be more safaris to come.
Video> Metropolis II Sends Miniature Cars Careening in Perfect Harmony
Thursday, January 12, 2012
Greg Goldin.
Metropolis II, opening at LACMA on January 14, is installation artist Chris Burden's action-packed, raucous, optimistic view of Los Angeles sometime in the not-to-distant future. Eleven-hundred custom-made, die-cast cars, about twice the size of a Matchbox car, race through a multilevel system of 18 roadways that twist and turn and undulate amid buildings that seem vaguely familiar but are not replicas of any specific landmark (although, strangely, there is what looks like an Eiffel Tower). The cars whip along on a plastic roadway at fantastic speeds, producing an enormous din that echoes off the gallery walls like the incessant roar of real-life freeway traffic. HO-scale trains and 1930s-era trolley cars roll along tracks of their own, adding a cheerful nostalgia to the mix.
Yet Another Star Turn For Jeanne Gang
Monday, November 14, 2011
Alan G. Brake.
Watch Jeanne Gang: The Sky's the Limit on PBS. See more from WTTW DOCUMENTARIES.
Still riding the wave of publicity following her recent MacArthur genius grant win, Jeanne Gang gets the full star treatment from Chicago's public TV station WTTW. This documentary, "Jeanne Gang: The Sky's the Limit," is all praise. Blair Kamin and Stanley Tigerman figure as her head cheerleaders. It would have been nice to have someone puncture the bubble a bit, possibly interrogating Gang about architect's limits, rather than merely presenting the discipline (and Gang as one of its leading lights) as a environmental and societal savior. The documentary does show some engaging glimpses of Studio Gang's working methods and office style, so there's plenty to enjoy, even for the (mild) skeptics.
Video> Brawling Buildings in NYC and LA
Friday, November 11, 2011
Branden Klayko.
Noting the rivalry between his new home, Los Angeles, and New York while visiting the Big Apple last week, Conan O'Brien launched a new segment , the Fight to the Death Building Battle to settle the cities' differences once and for all. Curbed spotted these epic architectural fights posted online at Team Coco's blog, and we couldn't help but share on this Friday afternoon, 11/11/11. While in New York, Conan pitted the Empire State Building ("weighing in at 365,000 tons of limestone") against LA's Scientology Book Store ("the best building they could come up with.") Of course, the Empire State soundly won. Back in LA, he revoked his New York show as "playing to the New York crowd," and held another match between the Empire and a trio of LA buildings: the Capitol Records Building, a Lady Foot Locker from a Venice Boulevard strip mall, and later Randy's Donuts. Remember, whatever side you choose, as Conan pointed out, "You're booing a building."

I am World Peace
Written by MiaV, Posted in Get the Look, New Arrivals
Peace love world pledges to promote, spread and be the voice of peace. What do you think of when you hear the words "World Peace?" Some may say war, unity, hands coming together or even Ms. Congeniality. But it's a concept that encompasses all this and more. It is simple, large and impactful. In reality, it's about becoming one world while respecting each other's individualism. People from all walks of life are all being affected worldwide. As citizens of the world, we can unite under a state of mind where we don't judge each other based on our differences and embrace a common understanding of one another. We can live in a world where we are not disconnected by our differing beliefs and know peace. It's a simple message for a complicated world but we can make this happen together. Join the movement by becoming a voice. The time is now. Every person on this planet counts. Together we can make a difference.

"Know that it was the thunderous sound of Harleys of the Patriot Guard that escorted my husband home to me."
These powerful words were spoken by Dorothy Woods, widow of former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, one of the four men killed during the consulate attack at Benghazi. Woods spoke these words on the stage of the
Sturgis Buffalo Chip
last summer, August 8, during the Chip's annual Freedom Celebration. For 2013, remembering those who perished in Benghazi was the focus of the celebration, as former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, another American who was killed during the attack while working security detail at the embassy, was also an honoree of the celebration. His brother Greg attended the celebration on behalf of his brother, telling the crowd to "Enjoy their freedom" while accepting a commemorative plaque from Buffalo Chip owner Rod Woodruff. It was a day when the hundreds of red, white and blue flags waving in the Chip's 'Field of Flags' and visits to the replica Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall at the campground took on deeper meaning.
Seeing how the day was set aside by the Buffalo Chip to honor the brave men and women who dutifully serve our country in the United States Armed Services, it's no wonder they elected one of the most patriotic bands around,
Madison Rising
, to entertain the crowd. Madison Rising's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" has gone viral, amassing over five million YouTube views. Addressing issues like the right to keep and bear arms and themes like soldiers suffering PTSD, the band wears its love for our country openly on its sleeves.
Madison Rising's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" captures you within the first few notes. The tone is set from the first few strummings of a bass guitar. The chords are clean and clear, the rhythm strong and urgent. Before long the softer notes of a guitar chime in, imparting a sense of familiarity to the orchestration as the unique rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" begins to unfold. By the time Dave Bray's voice bellows out the first words, an unexplainable wave wells up inside you, be it pride, be it patriotism, it stems from hearing a symbolic song in a fresh, harder, edgier way. It reminds one that despite its faults, we still live in a powerful and proud country.
But reinventing a song that strikes such an emotional chord in people is risky business. Madison Rising's lead singer, Dave Bray, was keenly aware of this, but for him the challenge it proposed outweighed the risks. Here's how he explains why the band took on a song like "The Star-Spangled Banner."
"Well, that was another that I kind of took on because somebody told me I couldn't do it. They said we can't touch "The Star-Spangled Banner," it's too reverent, people get too bent out of shape about it. We knew it was going to be scrutinized and I knew it was going to be scrutinized, so when they told me I couldn't do it, I just sat down. I was on a train back-and-forth for three hours, back-and-forth to New York and I was like, all right, I need to get working on this song. So that's
Madison Rising recently released its second album, American Hero, which includes the band's version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'
what I did, until I got it to a point that I liked and it ended up turning out really good.
"So I took it to the guys and said this is what I'd like to do with this, are you feeling it, are you not feeling it. That's what we did and it kept getting better and better and better every time we played it, so I'm like OK, we got something, let's make this thing happen. And that's basically the story. I worked on it and worked on it even though the people at the label were telling me you can't do it, we can't risk you guys putting this out and it not being up to snuff and us catching hell for it for the rest of our lives. You don't want to be known as the band that screws up 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'"
Madison Rising's rendition of the song soon took on a life of its own. It was a response to high-profile people like comedian Daniel Tosh declaring the "Star-Spangled Banner"sucks, stating nobody had the song on their iPod. Another radio personality, Bill Press, wrote the song off as an "abomination." This only inspired Madison Rising to create a version of the song that would strike a powerful chord of sentimentality in people. The band couldn't have predicted its success. As more and more people saw the video and passed it around on social media networks, the band issued a "One Million Star Spangled Challenge" to see if the song could reach one million YouTube views. After this goal was easily eclipsed, Madison Rising upped the ante to the "Five Million Star Spangled Banner Challenge" with the goal of reaching five million views before the new year, 2014. One of our original intentions when we interviewed Bray was to help them achieve their goal as the video had 4.85 million views when we first talked. A handful of days later, the band had already reached its goal as the video currently has 5,031,119 views and counting.
Despite being relatively new on the scene, Madison Rising got the opportunity of a lifetime last summer when it got to open up for Lynyrd Skynyrd and Brantley Gilbert at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. We asked Bray how the experience was for him.
"It was excellent. It was one of those dreams come true for me. You could call it a "bucket list" item if you will. I've been a Skynyrd fan since I was just a pup. It was pretty amazing, I was right up front having a good time. It was fun. I'm hoping we get a chance to play out there again this year, that would be awesome," Bray said.
When asked whether they had ever played at Sturgis before, Bray replied.
"No, we're a very new band, we've only been out for about three years now. We kind of got lucky with "The Star-Spangled Banner." It's not really our song, but it turns out we're not terrible song writers, you know. The new album "American Hero" is out and it's doing really well. It does have "The Star-Spangled Banner" on it but it's actually getting five-star reviews on Amazon and people seem to like it. It's doing pretty well and made for a pretty good summer."
A couple of the guys from Madison Rising visit the Sturgis Buffalo Chip's 'Field of Flags' during last year's rally. The band was the opening act during the Chip's annual Freedom Celebration, this year honoring those killed in the attack on the Benghazi consulate.
Part of that good summer was getting an opportunity to take in some of the
festivities while they were in South Dakota for the 73rd annual rally.
"We actually hooked up with the guys down at the Victory bus. They let me run one of their Victory bikes out, nice riding bikes, man. I don't want to say I'm sold, but it was definitely a cool bike. I rode the
with the little mini-apes on it, I think little 14-inch apes. It was just stock but it's smooth-riding. I went up to Rushmore and I also checked out the progress on the Crazy Horse monument up there. It's kind of hard for me as a rider not to, when you get up to Sturgis, to want to sit on a bike and get my head in the wind a little bit. Great riding and great roads," said Bray.
In addition to patriotic-themed tracks, Bray talked about a song on the new record that should appeal to bikers.
"The new record, the "American Hero" record, has a song Open Road on it. I kind of wrote it from a rider's perspective, "Got the throttle wide open, feet on my pegs, got a hundred horses, between my legs. No destination, no end in sight, just me and the open road, riding in the moonlight."
"There's a part in there that breaks it down. A lot of the guys, a lot of people don't even know, but the tie-in with motorcycles and the clubs and all that stuff is that, back when the guys came back from the Second World War and even the first, they started forming these clubs. I'm sure you're familiar with how that all went about, but a lot of people don't really understand that that's how those cats dealt with PTSD and they still kept hierarchy and still kept rank, and that's the way that rank and file itself kind of comes in. A lot of those clubs are popping up now and I know a lot of vets that ride because there is a sense of freedom and liberty and something about when it is just you and the open road, that you do kind of have control of something. I think a lot of those cats, they come home from being in war zones and being in combat and they get back into the civilized world and everyone's like, "Get them a job, they gotta be hired." Give these guys some time to just chill. Let 'em just come back to earth, be a part of society and those clubs are important for them because they feel like they're a part of a brotherhood. A lot of people call them biker gangs but I just think it's kind of important. The fact that with PTSD, you're shoveling that oxygen down your nose when you're on a bike. You get that oxygen to the head, you get your head cleared out. There's a part in the song that goes "Just two wheels and the open road, life or death in my own hands, I am my own justice, I am my own man, I never look behind to all that I have seen because all I need are white lines and gasoline." Basically all I need is the road and some gas in my tank and I can clear all that negative crap that went on behind me. But that was the idea behind the "Open Road" and that song, so when you hear it you're gonna go, "So that's what he was talking about." Hopefully it will become another biker anthem or whatever. I hope in the future that the community likes it and the biker community clings to that."
Overall Bray says the biker community has strongly supported the band.
"They've really gotten into "The Star-Spangled Banner." There's a lot of patriotism in the motorcycle community as well. It's a good fit. One thing they gravitated to, we were actually doing a fundraiser down in west Texas after the fertilizer plant blew up. There was a group of bikers that came through, and they're all baggers and stuff, and we had a bunch of "Star-Spangle Banner" singles layed out for them. And they came through, this group of bikers, they all popped it in, and they rode off and all you could here is "The Star-Spangled Banner" playing with the rumbling of the bikes. It was really kind of neat."
While Madison Rising's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner is on its new album, Bray says the band's latest offering deviates slightly from their debut.
"The whole "American Hero" record is the way to go, the way this band is headed in the future. We started out heavy leaning on the right-wing political side of things and what we really found out, there is patriotism amongst both sides. We didn't want to put down any other sides, we just wanted to pay homage to our troops, pay homage to the flag. Hold true to the flag of patriotism and then I think that this country may have a chance. Our first record I don't want to say it is kind of divisive, but it was one of those deals where we called the media out, we called out people for what we saw. It is what it is but all you're doing there is kind of just playing into the hands of hate and people and we just didn't want to do that. So the second record, it has a little bit of that in it. We really tried to get this album to sort of be stomachable or tangible for both sides, both sides politically and hopefully the country as a whole can get together on it and see that there's a good group of guys out here doing the right thing, walking a higher line and holding themselves to a higher level of expectations."
Bray's high level of expectations comes in part from his tenure in the military. According to his bio on the Madison Rising web page, he was "a Recruit Chief Petty Officer in basic training, a Master at Arms in A-school, and was awarded Top Dog in Field Medical Service School. He would finally serve in the U.S. Navy as an 8404 FMF Corpsman for the 2nd Battalion / 2nd Marines stationed out of Camp Lejeune, NC." So his love for country and his sense of duty as a father, American and veteran is understandable. It also helps explain why Madison Rising's second album goes out "to the men and women of our armed forces, along with the police, firefighters and other first responders whose sacrifice and selfless dedication to the service of this country help this great nation to remain the land of the free and the home of the brave."
For 2014, the band is busy booking shows, writing new material, and is working on a studio version of "God Bless America" with hopes of releasing it as a single. At a time when faith in our government and our country is at an all-time low, it's encouraging to see a band out there reminding us that the core principals of our founding fathers are still held in high standing by at least five million viewers. And counting.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Does Kobe have his own Pippen in Artest?
Was that Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen out there punching Phil Jackson's ticket to yet another NBA Finals, No. 13 to be precise?
No, but Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest sure pulled off a nifty imitation of Batman and Robin, who produced the first six of Jackson's 10 rings.
That No. 24 Bryant wears for the Los Angeles Lakers is quite appropriate. With each passing oh-my-gosh bucket — Saturday's Game 6 clincher against the Phoenix Suns a fallaway, off-balance jumper with Grant Hill's hand in his face — Bryant looks one better than No. 23.
"He's one of the few players I've ever seen who can literally will the ball into the rim,'' teammate Derek Fisher said.
And Artest? He wears No. 37, not No. 33, but the ace defender by trade turned into an offensive force. "The Lord was with him,'' Jackson said.
For sure, the basketball gods are smiling on the NBA, which will serve up the Lakers in the Finals for the 31st time against their nastiest rival, the 17-time champion Boston Celtics. Edition No. 12 — the Celtics are 9-2 vs. the Lakers, including 2008's latest whipping — came about because Bryant and Artest tag-teamed the Suns from start to finish of a 111-103 victory.
In his quest for a fifth ring, Bryant was beyond Jordanesque.
This was written on the Suns' whiteboard before the game: "In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away.''
They all belonged to Bryant on Saturday, not the Suns. He scored 37 points, 13 in a bust-away third quarter and 11 in the final three minutes to hold off a frenzied Phoenix rally that sliced an 18-point lead to three.
His backbreaker came with 34 seconds left and the Lakers clinging to a 105-100 lead. After Bryant drilled the jaw-dropping shot right in front of Alvin Gentry, he came over and patted the Suns coach.
"Hey, I've known him all his life, since he was about 16,'' Gentry said. "I've always been a big fan of his. He knows that. He probably solidified my thought process as to he's the best basketball player right now.''
Better than MJ?
"No, I'm not going to get into that. I might have to work for the Bobcats (Jordan's team) someday.''
After this series, it's time to crank up the debate again. Bryant was otherworldly — at both ends of the court. He shot 52.1 percent and averaged 33.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 41 minutes.
"There's an intense game going on,'' Gentry said, "and you almost have to laugh at what he does. I mean, I thought we played great defense on him. He just made tough shot after tough shot.''
Artest, a notoriously poor three-point shooter, made one bomb after another, the zone-buster the Lakers have looked for since Game 3. All this after his putback at the buzzer won Game 5.
He was 10 for 16 from the field, including 4 for 7 from long range, and finished with 25 points. He set the offensive table for the Lakers. Bryant offered up dessert.
Artest didn't ignore his duties on the defensive end either, forcing Jason Richardson into 3-for-7 shooting and coming up with three steals.
"We stayed poised and played hard,'' Artest said. "I think you saw us relaxed and playing together.''
That was Jackson's message before the game. Don't get too emotional, he told his team. They didn't. They got cold-blooded, not to mention cold-hearted.
Sasha Vujacic of the Lakers and Goran Dragic of the Suns are fellow Slovenians who have played together on the national team. The bad blood between them reached a boiling point early in the fourth quarter when, following a Dragic drive around Vujacic, the Lakers guard knocked Dragic to the floor with a flying elbow to the chin as the two came down court.
Vujacic was assessed a flagrant foul one and nearly cost the Lakers the game, because Dragic spearheaded a comeback that almost forced a Game 7.
The stupid elbow came with the Lakers up 15. Even Jackson thought the Suns were "pretty dead in the water'' at the time.
No matter. Bryant came to the rescue. But not to Vujacic's. Asked what he thought of Vujacic's flagrant foul at the time, Bryant said, "I'm gonna kill him.''
And now? "I'm still gonna kill him.''
So now it's back to the Finals for the Lakers. They've been there seven times in Jackson's 10 years in L.A. And Jerry Buss is considering a pay cut for the 12 Million Dollar Man?
That looks so absurd now, and will look even more absurd if the Lakers, with home-court advantage, avenge their 2008 loss and win their fifth title and second in a row under Jackson.
He has lost in the Finals twice and didn't like it.
"There's nothing worse than losing in the Finals,'' he said. "It's about as low as you can get after riding high, getting through three series.''
After the Lakers won the title last spring, Jackson ran into Boston's Paul Pierce in the L.A. complex where Jackson's daughter lives. "I said, 'Get it back, we want to meet you in the Finals,' " Jackson said.
He's ready for them this time with another version of Batman and Robin.

The Baltimore Ravens (7-5), winners in two of their past three games, travel to play at the Miami Dolphins (7-5), who own a 3-2 mark at Sun Life Stadium this season. Today's matchup is critical in the AFC playoff race with the winner taking a major step forward in possibly securing one of the remaining spots. The loser will face a steep uphill climb to make the playoffs.
Baltimore is also in a tight race in the ultra-competitive AFC North, which is the only division in the NFL where all four teams are at least two games above .500. The Ravens, who have already played five of their six division games (a Week 17 home battle with the Browns remains), are 1.5 games behind leader Cincinnati (8-3-1). Pittsburgh and Cleveland are also 7-5, but Baltimore holds tie-breakers over each team.
Despite taking a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead (30-20), the Ravens lost last Sunday to the visiting Chargers, 34-33. Behind QB Philip Rivers, San Diego scored three final-period touchdowns to secure the hard-fought victory. The Chargers converted 9 of 11 third downs (81.8%) – the best percentage ever against the Ravens – going 7-for-7 in the first half.
Alan & Tavares will break down what the Ravens must do to win today. The guys will provide you with all of the stats that matter as well as the player interviews from both teams throughout the course of the week.

The Ravens look to bounce back after last Sunday's 43-23 defeat at Heinz Field, where Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger threw 6 TDs to avenge a Week 2 loss in Baltimore. Following today's game vs. Tennessee, Baltimore will have its bye before heading to New Orleans for a Monday Night Football showdown on Nov. 24. The Ravens will then host San Diego on Nov. 30 and travel to Miami (Dec. 7) after that.

Alan, Tavares and Drew will break down the Ravens fourth AFC North battle in their first eight games as they travel to Paul Brown Stadium today to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

In that contest, after fighting back to earn a 16-15 advantage with 5:46 left in the game, Baltimore was stunned when QB Andy Dalton hit WR A.J. Green with a 77-yard TD throw, providing Cincy the decisive score.
In last Sunday's 29-7 victory over the visiting Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore jumped out to a 17-0 halftime lead and never looked back. For the second game in a row, the Ravens produced 5 sacks, including 2 each by OLB Elvis Dumervil and OLB Pernell McPhee.

Today, the Baltimore Ravens (9-5), winners in four of their past five games, travel to play the Houston Texans (7-7) at NRG Stadium. Coming off a 20-12 victory over Jacksonville last week, Baltimore is seeking its sixth playoff berth in the past seven years. Houston, which dropped a 17-10 decision at Indianapolis on Sunday, is 3-3 at home this season.
In seven all-time meetings between the Ravens and Texans, Baltimore holds a 6-1 advantage, including a 2011 Divisional playoff victory. Several former Ravens return to where their NFL careers began. Owen Daniels, Jacoby Jones, Justin Forsett and former Texans Head Coach Gary Kubiak all return to Houston---Daniels and Kubiak for the first time since leaving.
Entering Week 16, the Ravens own the AFC's sixth playoff spot. Baltimore is in a tight race in the ultra-competitive AFC North, which is the only division in the NFL where three teams are at least three games above .500. The Ravens, who have already played five of their six division games (a Week 17 home battle with the Browns remains), are a half-game behind leader Cincinnati (9-4-1). Pittsburgh is also 9-5, and currently owns a tiebreaker over Baltimore, while Cleveland is 7-7
Alan & Tavares will breakdown todays contest. They will tell you how the Ravens can contain JJ Watt, continue to sack the opposing quarterback and come out of Houston with their 10th win of the 2014 campaign. You will hear from players such as Joe Flacco, former Texans TE Owen Daniels, JJ Watt, Andrea Johnson, Arian Foster and former Houston Head Coach Gary Kubiak.

Playing their second game in an emotional five-day span, the Ravens stopped the visiting Steelers, 26-6, last Thursday night (Sept. 11) in what head Coach John Harbaugh called "a complete team victory".
In their 2014 home opener last Sunday, the Browns emerged victorious, 26-24, over the New Orleans Saints, securing the first win for new head coach Mike Pettine. (Pettine is a former Ravens assistant who coached in Baltimore from 2002-08.)

Sounders' Clint Dempsey might get two-game suspension
Sounders FC star Clint Dempsey is reportedly facing a two-game suspension, but a final decision from the MLS disciplinary committee might not come until Friday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Sounders FC star Clint Dempsey is facing a two-game suspension for actions in Saturday's 2-1 home loss to Toronto FC, according to The Toronto Sun.
Dempsey was involved in several controversial plays, most notably a first-half smack to the groin of TFC defender Mark Bloom, a swing Dempsey said after the game was intended to knock Bloom's arm off his back.
Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said Wednesday the team has been informed that Dempsey is under review from the MLS disciplinary committee. A final decision on any punishment might not come until Friday.
Disciplinary committee decisions are subject to appeal by the MLS players union, which could push a league announcement — perhaps a reduced penalty from the reported two-game suspension — until the end of the week.
The Sounders are hoping for the earliest resolution possible because the team departs Thursday for a game in Montreal, a cross-continental trip that requires a connecting flight.
Schmid offered defense of Dempsey following the team's final local practice of the week.
"He's a player who, when you look at minutes played, is the most fouled player in the league," the coach said. "Our team is the most fouled team in the league. Hopefully that gets looked at a little bit or taken into account a little bit, as well."
Dempsey was fouled six times Saturday, his most as a Sounder. He has been fouled 3.6 times per 90 minutes since his August return to the league, most in MLS, according to the league.
Even U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann has said he is worried about the physical treatment of Dempsey, the USMNT captain.
"This was one of the main issues already when he came back into MLS last fall," Klinsmann said in a video from U.S. Soccer. "They really kind of banged him in every game. I mean fouled over the edge. I hope that MLS is having an eye on that.
"What I saw there on the weekend (against Toronto), there were certain things not within the rules anymore. So I hope our players will certainly get a little bit of protection because they need to be healthy going into this World Cup."
Weather watch
Conditions in Montreal have been wintry this week, but Impact officials are still confident Saturday's 1 p.m. game at Olympic Stadium, the team's home opener, will continue as planned.
Vice president Richard Legendre told Montreal reporters Wednesday that any snow accumulation beyond three centimeters (1.18 inches) on the stadium roof could force a postponement, perhaps to Sunday, weather permitting.
A final decision will be made by 1 p.m. Friday.
Referee work stoppage over?
The referee lockout in MLS could soon be over. According to ESPN.com, Professional Referee Organization (the group that oversees officiating in the U.S. and Canada) and the union representing the referees have reached a tentative deal on a collective bargaining agreement.
The deal still needs to be ratified by the Professional Soccer Referees Association, but if it is, the work stoppage could be over by this weekend.

Smart move is to send Scheifele back
Mark Scheifele has one chance at gaining a permanent spot this season with the Winnipeg Jets and that's to earn a gig on the team's top line.
Despite coach Claude Noel's insistence that Scheifele could stick with the big club in a smaller role, the reality is GM Kevin Cheveldayoff will need more.
Scheifele could fit on the right wing of a line centred by Olli Jokinen with Evander Kane manning the left side. If he can't cut it there, Scheifele will most likely find himself back with the Barrie Colts of the OHL.
"I have to come into each game and show I can handle NHL players," said Scheifele, after Monday's training camp skate. "Each day I have to get stronger and show I can play all areas of the game. Going back to Barrie isn't even on my mind right now. My focus is on making this team."
Playing seven or eight minutes in a third- or fourth-line role, however, won't be effective use of Scheifele in this condensed season.
It's top six or bust for the first-rounder and right now all those spots are nailed down, but for right wing with the Jets' No. 1 group. Kyle Wellwood currently has that job but he's Winnipeg's most versatile forward and can play anywhere if Scheifele does make a push for permanent residence.
Cheveldayoff will have to be thoroughly convinced his top prospect is ready to contribute at a high level before he burns a year of his entry level contract on a 48-game schedule.
There are any number of factors involved in this decision and while Scheifele's play will be No. 1, the others have significant relevance. Scheifele will almost certainly start the season here and get a five-game look. But if he's not on fire and suggesting his pace won't fade, expect Cheveldayoff to return him to the Colts.
The Jets' record will also play a role. If the team is 4-1 at the five-game mark and Scheifele has contributed, his case to stay will get stronger.
The opposite, however, is also true. If the Jets struggle early and their already long-shot playoff chances get slimmer, it'll be hard to justify keeping Scheifele in Winnipeg.
Not last in the pecking order of this decision process is the matter of a culture the Jets are attempting to establish. Entitlement is not part of what the Jets are trying to instill in their players and all draft picks, but for the rarest of exceptions, should expect a stint in the AHL with the St. John's IceCaps.
Scheifele might very well make the team this year or next out of training camp. But he's going to have to show that he can contribute in the NHL as a pro and not a project.
Putting the 19-year-old Scheifele on a line with grinders Jim Slater and Chris Thorburn, as he was during Monday's practice, isn't efficient use of this particular prospect.
Mark Scheifele is not being groomed to be a banger. The intention is for him to some day be the team's No. 1 centre. He needs to play in key situations, take important draws and learn to handle the professional rigours at both ends of the ice against the game's best players.
The Colts are the top team in the OHL's Eastern Conference standings and head coach Dale Hawerchuk has loaded up his team for a playoff run. There are no certainties, but Scheifele's prospects at a long and deep playoff chase are much better in Barrie than in Winnipeg.
Playoff games are critical to a young player's development and can't be discounted. If Cheveldayoff keeps Scheifele for six games, he must stay in Winnipeg for the season and those junior playoff games will be lost. Scheifele would be eligible to play in playoff games in St. John's upon the end of the Jets season but the IceCaps are not a playoff team at this moment.
Scheifele has five games to turn Cheveldayoff's head to such a degree that he determines he can throw aside both contract and culture concerns.
Noel admitted on Monday he thinks in the now, while it's Cheveldayoff's job to always have the big picture in mind.
Don't expect Cheveldayoff to get caught up in the emotion of the moment.
