James Spader
The ultimate James Spader photo site part II
This photo site is dedicated to James Spader, who is in my opinion the best actor in the world. I have every respect for the privacy of Mr. Spader and his family, and by setting up this site I am paying my tribute to him and celebrating his work by sharing these pictures with others.
Welcome to Part V of the ultimate James Spader Photo Site on the internet (to visit Part I, go to James Spader Photo Site I, to visit Part III, go to James Spader Photo Site III, to visit Part IV, go to James Spader Photo Site IV) and to visit Part V, go to James Spader Photo Site V. You can find tons of photos (actually, more than 42.800 on all sites) which are mainly my own screen captures, but you can also see lots of other photos which were collected by my friends and myself over recent years. Hope you enjoy looking at the photos of the most adorable and sexiest man alive.
Since I wasn't able to work on my sites for a very long time (actually for almost a year), I still have to update a lot of threads. Due to changes in the system my internet provider is providing, and which I work with, it happened that a lot of photos got lost, and the entire layout got mixed up. Therefore, the layout needs to be done entirely new, and thousands of photos have to be uploaded again. As you can probably imagine, this takes quite a while. For a lack of time, I currently can only work now and then on the sites. Sorry for that.
Moreover, for some reason it isn't possible to upload as many photos to the new site as there were on the old site. For this reason I have more sites than before now. These are the names of my entire James sites:
The "old" sites: www.james-spader.com / www.james-spader.net / www.james-spader.info (the .com and the .net sites have still to be redesigned; the .info site (contents: "Boston Legal", "The Practice" and "Tongues") is ready to view!)
The "new" sites: www.james-spader.biz (a little content ("The Office" and "DVD Featurettes") so far!), www.james-spader.eu (a little content (Paparazzi Photos, Autographs) so far!!!!)
The "new" site : www.james-spader.de (no content so far!!!!)
Although, I still have a lot of work to get done, this shouldn't stop you from sending me new photos you'd like to get posted here. When you send photos, please do not forget to include any copyright information as far as you know these.
I am looking for some James appearances on talkshows which are missing in my collection. If there is anyone to happen to have these missing talkshows, please e-mail me. Particularly, I am looking for these interviews (I got the dates from IMdB - I don't know if they are correct):
Regis: 5/16/2006, 11/3/2005, 2/16/2005
Conan: 11/5/2007, 11/21/2006
Ellen: 3/6/2006
Good Morning America: 9/25/2005 (I don't have the entire interview, just some part.)
I need your help regarding several Photo Shoots. There are several photos of which I neither know the place and/nor the date. I would be grateful if anyone could send me this information (including any copyright - if known). Thanks so much!
This site does not operate as a message board as there are already wonderful ones in existance, like e.g. James Spader's Haven (extremely well-run by Yvonne and Janette).
*********************************************************Please notice that this is an unofficial, non-profit fan site and I do NOT have any contact to James Spader himself or his management.

Dysart High School coach Andrew Garrett hit an unexpected football trifecta in the offseason.
The second-year coach didn't know how he was going to fill the team's void at running back.
Terry Smith graduated after leading the Demons with 880 yards in 2010 and top returnee Keevin Moore moved to San Diego in the offseason.
"We really didn't have anyone from the lower ranks who could come in and was ready to start," said Garrett, who guided the Demons to a 3-7 mark last year. "We were at a loss as to what we were going to do."
Help arrived in the form of three transfer students who have transformed the running game from a team weakness into a strength for this year's team.
Senior Elijah Manning takes over as the starting tailback.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pounder played receiver and defensive back last season for West Salem High School in Oregon.
"West Salem is a big school in Oregon, sort of like a Hamilton or Chandler here in Arizona," Garrett said. "Elijah was a running back on the scout team, but because of his size, he never got a chance."
Garrett said his newest tailback overcomes the size disadvantage with quickness and speed.
"He's strong and he runs inside with a lot of confidence," Garrett said.
The other two transfer students played closer to the Dysart campus in 2010.
Senior fullback and middle linebacker Cory Trufant arrived from nearby Valley Vista while sophomore running back Jake Sanego spent last season at Kellis in Glendale.
The 5-foot-9, 187-pound Trufant placed second in tackles with 72 last year at Valley Vista. Garrett said his battering-ram style of running will represent the yin to the speeding yang of Manning, his backfield mate.
Sanego may eventually be the best runner of all three players.
"Jake has a runner's instinct," Garrett said. "He's got great vision — he sees it and does it."
The arrival of the three running backs should ease Garrett's transition as he takes over the offensive play-calling from Jon Clanton, a top assistant who became the head coach this year at Central High School in Phoenix.
Longtime assistant Ches Gessner takes over as defensive coordinator and plans to employ an aggressive run-stopping unit that sometimes puts seven or eight players on the line of scrimmage.
The key to the defense's success rests with Fasauga Tinoisamoa, a junior defensive tackle who has already attracted interest from Division 1 colleges.
Tinoisamoa recorded four sacks last season and will be used occasionally as a fullback in goal-line situations.
Tinoisamoa also represents one of several Dysart players of Samoan heritage.
The tiny South Pacific island has made a big impact on the national football scene, producing such prominent NFL players as Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu and Cincinnati linebacker Rey Maualuga.
Garrett said Dysart's Samoan connection has already had a positive effect on campus and in the El Mirage community.
"We've got three kids who will be playing on the defensive line and an offensive guard who is of Samoan heritage," Garrett said. "One family moved here and then other families followed suit.
"They are great kids who get great grades and have an outstanding work ethic."
The coach said the team may even incorporate a traditional Samoan dance into its pregame ritual this season.
Once the games start, the Dysart offense will turn the game over to senior quarterback Benson Grimes, who threw nine touchdowns in 2010.
One of his favorite targets will be tight end Jordan Miller, a 6-foot-4 senior who also plays outside linebacker. Another top receiver will be Marcus Moore, who also plays a key role at free safety.
"Benson's arm strength has increased and he has been a workhorse in the offseason," Garrett said.
The offensive line should be bolstered by the improved athleticism of guard Marcus Alford, who dropped 35 pounds after joining the school's wrestling program.
Guard John-George Leasau, a 6-foot-3, 292-pound senior, also will be a pillar of strength on the offensive line.
"We encourage our kids to play multiple sports here at Dysart," Garrett said. It's good for our linemen to wrestle and we encourage our running backs and defensive backs to play basketball and soccer. "Other sports keep them busy and in shape — and out of trouble."

Nate Schierholtz Rumors
Drew Storen, Tyler Clippard Drawing Interest
3:54pm: MLB.com's Bill Ladson spoke with a source who said that Storen is more likely to be dealt than Clippard. Rizzo told MASNsports.com's Dan Kolko that trade talk of Storen and Clippard is overblown, as he's yet to receive an actual offer (Twitter link).
11:08am: Talks between the Cubs and Nationals regarding Storen and Clippard are dead, according to Kilgore (on Twitter).
TUESDAY, 10:34am: Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports that both Storen and Clippard are generating interest on the trade market, with Clippard being the more popular name (Twitter link). GM Mike Rizzo would need to have his "socks knocked off" to move either reliever, however, according to Kilgore.
MONDAY, 4:28pm: Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post (Twitter links) hears from a source that the Nats would listen to offers on Storen, though any talks with the Cubs are in the very early stages at this point. Kilgore identifies Nate Schierholtz and James Russell as a couple possible fits for Washington if negotiations became more serious.
4:00pm: The Cubs are looking to the trade market in their search for relievers and have eyed both Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen of the Nationals, among others, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times (on Twitter).
Clippard, 28, is controlled through the 2015 season and has a 2.73 ERA with 10.3 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 over the past five seasons. Storen, 26, may have fallen out of favor to an extent with the Nats in 2013 following a career-worst 4.52 ERA and a brief demotion to the minors. The former No. 10 overall pick owns a career 3.40 ERA with 8.4 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 since being promoted in 2010, however.

Central Rumors: Hart, Pelfrey, Suzuki, Cubs, Indians
Today's news out of the AL and NL Central..
- The Brewers are considering bringing back Corey Hart to fill their first-base need and it appears they may favor him over other first base options like Mets first baseman Ike Davis and free agent Justin Morneau, writes Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. A Brewers person didn't look overly enthused when asked about Davis or Morneau and added that the rumored trade of Norichika Aoki for Davis would not be happening.
- Agent Scott Boras says that he's gotten good interest from a "variety of teams" on client Mike Pelfrey and said the Twins are amongst those clubs, tweets Phil Miller of the Star Tribune. He also claims that Pelfrey holds a multi-year offer.
- The Cubs don't plan to drop big bucks on a free agent catcher like Brian McCann or Jarrod Saltalamacchia and sources tell Patrick Mooney of CSNChicago.com they have their eye on a cheaper target: Kurt Suzuki. The Cubs are seeking out a veteran backstop to complement Welington Castillo.
- Cubs GM Jed Hoyer told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter) there's been ongoing trade interest in Nate Schierholtz since mid-season.
- Justin Masterson will listen if the Indians want to approach him with a multi-year offer, writes Paul Hoynes of the Plain Dealer.

Diamondbacks Interested In Nate Schierholtz
The Diamondbacks have interest in trading for Cubs outfielder Nate Schierholtz, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Schierholtz, 30 in February, smacked 21 home runs in 503 plate appearances for the Cubs this year. In an article Sunday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic speculated on Schierholtz as a possible fit for the Diamondbacks, who were rumored to have an eye on Cubs righty Jeff Samardzija prior to the trade deadline.
With more than five years of big league service time, Schierholtz is arbitration eligible and under the Cubs' control for one more season. Matt Swartz has projected a $3.8MM salary for 2014, a $1.55MM raise on Schierholtz's 2013 base salary. The Cubs inked Schierholtz to a one-year deal in December of last year after he was non-tendered by the Phillies. They were able to offer him the most playing time of his career while making sure he faced left-handed pitching only 13% of the time. He responded with a .251/.301/.470 line as the Cubs' primary right fielder.
D'Backs GM Kevin Towers has talked about his desire to add a power-hitting corner outfielder. Gerardo Parra seems to have one of the team's outfield spots locked down, with Adam Eaton, A.J. Pollock, and Cody Ross also in the mix. Given Arizona's limited payroll flexibility, Schierholtz could hold extra appeal at less than $4MM.

East Links: Napoli, Sox, Stanton, Schierholtz, Yanks
There has been plenty of news out of baseball's Eastern divisions already today; the Phillies' agreement with Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez is in jeopardy, the Blue Jays released Michael Schwimer and Alex Rodriguez has officially filed an appeal of his 211-game suspension. Here's more on a releatively busy August day for MLB's east coast teams…
- An MRI on Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli's hips showed that his avascular necrosis (a degenerative hip condition he learned he had last offseason) has not worsened, according to Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. Bradford spoke to Napoli about his upcoming free agency, and Napoli said he feels more at ease this time around and is relieved to know that his condition hasn't worsened.
- John Tomase of the Boston Herald writes that Red Sox DH David Ortiz doesn't think last year's team would have rallied to erase a 5-0 defecit and defeat the Astros 15-10 as they did last night. "I would say it was a lot of things going on and I don't think a lot of guys were focused on the things that we need to do to win ballgames." Ortiz went on to praise Boston GM Ben Cherington and the team's front office for making tough decisions and reworking the entire organization in such a short time.
- MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports that the Marlins never got to the point where they even received specific names in trade proposals for Giancarlo Stanton this July. Four high-ranking officials shot down a rumored blockbuster proposal from the Pirates involving Starling Marte and Gerrit Cole. Frisaro adds that the Marlins want to build around Stanton and will discuss a long-term contract this offseason.
- There was less risk to keeping Nate Schierholtz around than there was in non-tendering him for the Phillies last offseason, opines David Murphy of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Murphy questions GM Ruben Amaro Jr.'s claim that the team couldn't get a good look at Schierholtz last season as he missed time with a broken toe shortly after being acquired, noting that team could've tendered him a contract and just traded him at the end of Spring Training if they weren't impressed. However, as Murphy notes, Schierholtz alone would not have come close to solving all of the Phillies' 2013 problems.
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman is operating under the assumption that he will have A-Rod for the remainder of the season, but he's also scouting the trade market for secondary options, writes MLB.com's Joey Nowak.

Cubs Notes: Samardzija, DeJesus, Schierholtz
Though the Cubs listened to offers for Jeff Samardzija at the deadline, they "never came close with any deal," GM Jed Hoyer reveals in a report by Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com. However, the club plans to explore a contract extension for their right-hander this winter, with Hoyer ranking it "very high" on the Cubs' priority list. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes examined the cost of locking up Samardzija earlier this week, placing the floor of such a deal in the range of the five-year, $55MM extension Matt Harrison inked with the Rangers this winter. More Thursday night Cubs links:
- The Cubs are likely to actively pursue trading Samardzija if they're unable to agree on an extension this winter, instead of merely listening, as they did this year, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports. That matches an earlier report from Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The team is also expected to pick up David DeJesus' $6.5 million option, Sullivan says.
- DeJesus drew interest at the deadline, as did fellow outfielder Nate Schierholtz and pitcher James Russell, sources tell Jesse Rogers of ESPNChicago.com. "We thought we had a high but not unreasonably high price on some of the guys, but a lot of the guys we were being asked about we control going forward," Hoyer said, referencing DeJesus, Schierholtz and Russell. "In some ways it makes our winter potentially easier." The Northsiders have a say in where each of those players ends up next year, Rogers notes.
- The Cubs have had preliminary discussions on who they may end up placing on waivers with an eye toward an August deal, Hoyer says in an article by Carrie Muskat of MLB.com. However, the executive added that he believes teams with specific holes to fill were able to do so by putting together deals before the deadline.

Schierholtz Staying With Cubs
29-year-old Cubs right fielder Nate Schierholtz is one of the better bats on the trade market. He deserves credit for his strong work this year against right-handed pitching, but it's also a weak market for bats. Schierholtz is under team control for 2014 as an arbitration eligible player, and MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz suggests a salary in the $4.2MM range. 33-year-old center fielder David DeJesus is another candidate to be moved today; he comes with a $6.5MM club option for 2014. DeJesus recently returned from a shoulder sprain. The latest on that pair as well as the Cubs' other trade chips…
- It looks like Schierholtz is staying put with the Cubs, tweets Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
Earlier Cubs Updates
- There's much more action on James Russell right now than Kevin Gregg, according to ESPNChicago.com's Bruce Levine (on Twitter).
- The Cubs expect to trade either Schierholtz or DeJesus, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, and DeJesus might be more likely. The Pirates are in on both.
- The Cubs appear more likely to trade Schierholtz than relievers Kevin Gregg or James Russell, tweets ESPN's Jayson Stark.

Cubs Notes: Schierholtz, Russell, Gregg, Villanueva
The Cubs have plenty of trade chips remaining, but time is running out to deal them as tomorrow's 4pm ET deadline looms. Here's the latest…
- The Pirates remain interested in Nate Schierholtz, writes Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com. Concerns surrounding his shoulder cause the Bucs to switch gears to Alex Rios a few weeks back, but Schierholtz has demonstrated his health with strong play of late. Earlier today, Buster Olney of ESPN tweeted that Schierholtz is likely to be traded.
- Levine also reports that James Russell was nearly acquired by the Braves last week, and he's now drawing interest from the Reds. The Braves have since acquired Scott Downs to fill the left-handed void in their bullpen. Russell had a rough outing in the first game of today's doubleheader, allowing a three-run home run to Khris Davis plus two other hits and a free pass.
- Schierholtz and Kevin Gregg are the two Cubs most likely to be dealt prior to tomorrow's deadline, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Time reports. The Pirates and Tigers are scouting the Cubs' series with the Brewers, with the Bucs looking for outfield help and the Tigers on the hunt for bullpen help.
- The Blue Jays have also been scouting the Cubs for the past week, according to Wittenmyer, but that's likely because they're looking to add pieces for 2014.
- Wittenmyer adds that Carlos Villanueva isn't likely to be traded, as the Cubs value his versatility and cheap contract as they look to shuffle the roster again in 2014.

Stark On Howie Kendrick, Cubs, D'Backs
ESPN's Jayson Stark begins his latest column with a look at the Biogenesis situation. As Joel Sherman of the New York Post first reported, suspension announcements are not expected today. Sherman expects the announcements to come Thursday or Friday. In Stark's opinion, the Rangers are acting like a team that knows what Nelson Cruz will do if suspended, in that their aggressive search for a bat suggests he might serve a suspension now to preserve his free agent value. Meanwhile, the Tigers' lack of pursuit of a backup plan to shortstop Jhonny Peralta suggests he'll appeal. Elsewhere in Stark's column:
- The Dodgers and Angels, who haven't made a trade in 20 years, had a "mostly casual conversation" regarding Halos second baseman Howie Kendrick. There are no indications a deal is in the works.
- The Angels are at least listening on infielders Kendrick, Erick Aybar, and Alberto Callaspo, and seeking high quality big league ready pitching in return.
- The Cubs could move Kevin Gregg and Nate Schierholtz, but are extremely unlikely to trade lefty reliever James Russell and there's just about zero chance of a Jeff Samardzija trade.
- Pitchers Ian Kennedy and J.J. Putz of the Diamondbacks and Kyle Farnsworth of the Rays "have suddenly been made available." Trading Kennedy would allow Arizona to clear around $1.4MM toward another move. Are they that hard up for cash?

Cubs Notes: Schierholtz, Samardzija, Gregg
The Cubs have been baseball's most active team on the trade front, and they seem likely to make another move or two, even after dealing Matt Garza, Scott Feldman, Scott Hairston and Alfonso Soriano. Here's the lastest regarding the north side of Chicago…
- Nate Schierholtz is the most likely piece to be traded next, a league source tells Jesse Rogers of ESPNChicago.com. Schierholtz has told agents Scott Leventhal and Damon Lapa to inform the Cubs he's happy in Chicago and would like to stay. He adds that he doesn't follow trade rumors and accepts that he has no control over what management does. The Rangers and two or three other teams have shown interest in Schierholtz of late, according to Rogers.
- The asking price on Jeff Samardzija is "higher than the Sears Tower," according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The Cubs are essentially asking that teams let them take what they want from their farm systems. While the Diamondbacks have shown interest, several other teams have made offers as well.
- MLB.com's Carrie Muskat writes that Kevin Gregg would be happy to return to the Cubs even if he's dealt before Wednesday's deadline. Gregg offered high praise for the coaching staff, his teammates, the city of Chicago and the organization as a whole. Unlike Schierholtz, Gregg enjoys following the rumor circuit and the transactions wire.

AL East Notes: Soriano, Cashman, Red Sox
With the Red Sox losing the division lead for the first time in two months, here's the latest from a hotly contested American League East …
- The deal that brought Alfonso Soriano back to the Yankees was consummated over the objections of GM Brian Cashman, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post. "I would say we are in a desperate time," said Cashman. "Ownership wants to go for it. I didn't want to give up a young arm." The club dealt young righty Corey Black (and took on salary) to add the 37-year-old Soriano. MLBTR's Steve Adams rounded up the reactions to the deal yesterday.
- Cashman's latest overruling continues a trend, Sherman further reports in the same piece. Most recently, Cashman reportedly preferred signing catcher Russell Martin and outfielder Nate Schierholtz this last offseason. Instead, ownership pushed a two-year, $13MM deal with Ichiro Suzuki. While the Yanks could have Martin and Schierholtz playing right now on one-year deals, says Sherman, the team instead has an aging Ichiro-Soriano combination set to earn $11.5MM next season.
- The Red Sox must add talent, writes Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald, or risk dropping back in a tight AL East race. Silverman opines that the club should call up top prospect Xander Bogaerts to provide much-needed pop from the left side of the infield. Meanwhile, with Clay Buchholz still not on a clear timetable and with Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez choosing the Phillies over the Sox, Silverman says that Boston should also make a deal for a starter.
- Should Boston make a move to bolster its rotation, one player who could be dealt is third baseman Will Middlebrooks. WEEI.com's Rob Bradford reports that Middlebrooks, who is trying to work his way back to the form he showed in his 2012 rookie campaign, has heard the rumors for the first time in his recollection. "I'm just trying to keep my nose out of it," Middlebrooks said. The 24-year-old indicated that he remains content in the Red Sox organization in spite of his struggles this year: "I have a good opportunity here. I don't need to get traded to have a good opportunity."
- Looking at Boston's recent history, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal suggests that the team could look to pick up a somewhat under-the-radar player that can contribute not just this season, but in the future. MacPherson notes that the Sox added catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia (2010), shortstop Mike Aviles (2011), and reliever Craig Breslow (2012) when the price proved right and the deal met the club's multi-year needs. This season, with Saltalamacchia nearing free agency and backup David Ross injured, the team could look to deal for a backstop with future control even as it gives playing time to prospect Ryan Lavarnway.

A good but very long breakdown...
The 3-4 Defense: A Primer
I am writing this piece in response to some of the announcers and writers out there that obviously wouldn't know the difference between a 3-4 defense and a punt formation. And there might be some fans out there that do not know when they are seeing a 3-4 or a 4-3 or what the differences are. To some it might seem redundant and to others informative.
As always, I write with out the benefit of a proofer, so please ignore typos, etc.
Unfortunately, I cannot (or don't know how to) include diagrams. If some of it might seem confusing in reading I suggest the following: diagram out a typical offensive formation or offensive line. Mark the gaps as A, B, C, D with the center-guard gap being the "A", the guard-tackle the "B", the tackle-tight end being the "C", outside of the tight end is the "D". To designate the "techniques" (where the players align in opposition to the offensive line), start with the center as "0", his outside shoulder is "1", the gap between center-guard is "2", the inside shoulder of the guard is "3", and so on. Adding a "0" to any of these numbers would indicate a LB lining up off the line of scrimmage. I hope that this helps. In addition, and excellent resource (with diagrams) can be found at
The 3-4 might seem like a recent innovation. In fact, it has been around for a relatively long time. The system had been in use on the collegiate level since the 40's (Oklahoma is credited with its first use), but the defense looked vastly different as it was played very close to the line and every player was a brute. In 1970, in Superbowl IV, Hank Stramm wanted to utilize the strength of Curly Culp, a defensive lineman that was very strong and couldn't be blocked one-on-one. Stramm wanted Culp to tie up the Vikings All-Pro center Mick Tinglehoff and tie up additional guard support. He wanted to prevent the Vikings outstanding line from being able to pull and lead the great Vikings outside rushing attack. This worked out pretty well for the Chiefs as they dominated the heavily favored Vikings by holding them to just 67-yards rushing, 3 picks, and recovering 2 fumbles.
Early innovators of the defense on the professional level were Coaches Bum Phillips, Chuck Fairbanks and Hank Bullough. Today, the most familiar 3-4 with 2-gap line technique (we will get to that later) is referred to as the Fairbanks-Bullough.
In the 80's, the success of the 49ers and Cowboys with the 4-3 alignment saw most of the other teams adopt it as their base defense. However, the recent success of the New England Patriots, utilizing the 3-4, has given new life to the 3-4 in the professional football level. "It's not so much that teams are changing," said coach Bill Parcells, who won his first Super Bowl title in 1991 using the 3-4. "It's the people that have become decision makers have backgrounds in that defense and that is what they are implementing." Patriots coach Bill Belichick first learned the 3-4 while working under Parcells. Browns coach Romeo Crennel, New England's former defensive coordinator, was an assistant on the same Giants staff. Nick Saban also worked with Belichick ... and on down the coaching tree.
So why the switch to the 3-4?
Proponents suggest it's most effective in combating today's sophisticated passing attacks, with their multiple formations and intricate routes, because a fourth linebacker allows a defense the luxury of disguising its blitzes and coverages better.
If the offensive guards are responsible for blocking the inside linebackers, the center has the nose tackle and the offensive tackles are designated to block the defensive ends, who's got the two outside linebackers? And where are they?
The 3-4 also can morph into a 4-3 in the blink of an eye. The 3-4's outside linebacker can quickly come up to the line of scrimmage, drop his hand down, and voila, 4-3. Or he can stay on the edge as a decoy, pick up a running back in the flat or cover the tight end.
"I'm not saying it's better," Parcells said. "Here's what I think some of the advantages are: At any time you can drop eight people into coverage, and that complicates things for the quarterback. Not many four-man line teams have the ability to do that.
"The second thing is it's more 1-on-1 football. It forces the offense to block more straight and use less angles than a gap defense does. Sometimes that's more difficult for the offense to do."
In the 4-3 defense, you need two very large and athletic defensive tackles and two somewhat large and very athletic defensive ends. These guys are very hard to find. If you can't find a couple of good defensive ends, you're in for a long season of living and dying by the blitz.
In the 3-4 defense, you need one really large nose tackle. This NT has to be a real monster of a guy, 350 pounds or so, because his job is to take on the center and one of the guards simultaneously on every single play. Then you get two more defensive tackles at around 300 pounds each, and play them up against the offensive tackles. All three of the defensive tackles have what is called a gap responsibility. They are expected to hit the offensive linemen head on, and watch the play to make sure the running back doesn't come through on either side of them. Also, they're expected to hold their block so that the offensive linemen can't get out and block a linebacker.
In the 3-4 system, the linebackers are expected to make most of the plays. In the 3-4 system, the DTs play a more physical game as they are taking on one or two offensive linemen directly, play after play. Unlike the DTs in the 4-3, the DTs in the 3-4 are responsible for every single gap in the offensive line. Although the DTs get relatively few chances to make tackles or sack the quarterback, anything bad that happens is still ultimately their fault.
In the 3-4, you have four linebackers. Two of these guys are inside linebackers, and are expected to weigh roughly 240 pounds and be quite athletic. You also have two outside linebackers. These guys are sometimes called "tweeners," as they are in between the normal size of defensive ends and linebackers. These guys should weigh perhaps 255-265 pounds and also be quite athletic. Because these are linebackers, they tend to be faster than the heavier defensive ends. Their presence makes it much more difficult for the quarterback to roll out, as he will be rolling out directly into the path of one of these linebackers.
The 3-4 is composed of 3 down lineman, 4 linebackers and 4 defensive backs.
The defensive line positions are 2 defensive tackles and 1 noseguard. Typically, the noseguard (NG) plays head-up on the center (OC). This known as the "0" technique. The defensive tackles (DT) line up just off the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle (OT) in what is known as the the "3" technique. The primary function of the DL is to protect the LBs and play the run. Each defensive lineman is responsible for 1 or 2 gaps, depending on the scheme being used.
NG is the toughest position to fill. The NG is head-up on the OC and is responsible for defending both "A" gaps ("A" gap is the gap between the OC and OG's. "B" gap is between OG and OT. "C" gap is between OT and TE.) in the running game. He faces constant double-teams and takes a pounding. He must have size, mental and physical toughness, stamina, durability, lateral quickness, and good technique in terms of playing with leverage. If the NT cannot hold his ground, the defense is very vulnerable to runs between the tackles.
DTs tend to weigh around 290-310, and many are former 4-3 DT/DE "tweeners". They must be able to play the run well. The 3-4 DT is responsible for the "B" and "C" gaps in the running game and lines up in either the "3" or "5" technique (head-up on the OT) position. It's tough for a 3-4 DE to pick up as many sacks as a 4-3 DE, because a 3-4 DE doesn't have the freedom to go willy nilly upfield. He has to protect the LBs in order for the 3-4 to work.
The inside linebackers must be stout in run support. Because there are only 3 DL to match up against 5 OL, they must be able to stack and shed an unblocked offensive lineman in the running game. The left inside linebacker is called the MIKE" linebacker (keep in mind that different teams might use different nomenclature for the different positions). He closely resembles his counterpart in the 4-3 except that he aligns himself in a 2" technique over the guard to the tight end side. The right inside linebacker, referred to as the MAC" Linebacker also aligns himself in a 2" technique except he is on the weak side away from the tight end. In the 3-4s most basic form both the MIKE and MAC linebackers have A" and "B" gap responsibility, so like the middle linebacker of the 4-3 they must play the run from the inside out. However, in many of the 3-4 schemes seen today you see the MAC" backer playing more of a weak side linebackers role and the MIKE can likewise find himself in the strong side role. The strong-side "MIKE", must have an attacking style of play to come up and meet a ball carrier at the line of scrimmage and be fast enough to string him out to the sideline. Though his first priority would be to stand the blocking back up in the hole yet plugging another running lane.The weak-side "MAC", is responsible for backside pursuit and must be disciplined enough not to overrun a play which could result in a big gain. Both players also must be able to blitz the QB and be able to drop into short zone depending on the defense called. Personnel wise the inside linebackers in the 3-4 are usually the prototypical linebacker that runs a 4.5 to 4.7 in the forty and stands 6 to 64tall at 240-255lbs. Most linebackers that play inside in a 3-4 scheme can usually translate well to the middle and weak side linebacking positions in a 4-3.
The two outside linebackers of the 3-4 defense have very similar jobs, especially in the very basic concept of the defense. An OLB in this defense is simply stated, the pass rusher. Both the SAM (strong-side) and WILL (weak-side) of the 3-4 will usually have D gap responsibility and will line up outside of the DE as a 5/7 technique (outside shoulder of either OT or TE). He is the guy who chases down the QB. His ideal frame is tall in the 6'4" range and normally anwhere from 240-260 lbs. Long arms are needed to disengage from NFL offensive tackles in the run game and also used in pass rush. They must be very fast as to be able to beat a Tackle to the corner in pass rush but also strong and athletic enough to utilize bull rush moves when needed. This player is also responsible for outside contain in the run game.
When Coach Hank Stram first introduced the 3-4 to the NFL it was four legitimate linebackers playing zone defense behind three down linemen. Later on teams started replacing one of those outside linebackers with a pure pass rusher and now the most prevalent version has both outside linebackers rushing the passer from a defense that more closely resembles a 5-2. On almost every play, 1 of the OLBs will rush the QB. The OLBs can play from a 2 or 3-point stance.
A cornerback (CB) in this defense has many different responsibilities from a traditional zone coverage CB. This player needs to be very fast with good ball skills as he plays alot of man coverage due to the schemes employed, dependant on what the front 7 does. Certain packages will also ask this player to play a variety of zones. The CB also be must tough enough to help support the outside run game. Normally, due to defensive formations, these players will line up on the WR with a 5 to 7 yard cushion as to not get **** the line scrimmage and surrender a deep pass play due to the extra safety playing in the box on run support, better known as cover 3. The roles of a CB vary greatly depending the defensive playcall and responsibility of the safety.
Like a Safety (S) in any defense, they must be able to play centerfield to be successful. Due to the versatility of the defense, its common to only have one deep safety in the pass game, which is why referring back the CB's will line up with a cushion b/c there isnt alot of help there. These players make all the secondary calls and must be strong in second level run support. The free safety (FS) is responsible for reading the offensive plays and covering deep passes. Depending on the defensive call, he may also provide run support. He is positioned 10 to 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage, toward the center of the field. He provides the last line of defense against running backs and receivers who get past the linebackers and cornerbacks. He must be a quick and smart player, capable of making tackles efficiently as well as reading the play and alerting his team of game situations.
The strong safety (SS) is usually larger than the free safety and is positioned relatively close to the line of scrimmage. He is often an integral part of the run defense, but is also responsible for defending against a pass; especially against passes to the tight-ends.
Without a doubt the 3-4 defense is the poster boy for flexibility. The strength of this defense rests in the number of quick footed athletes you can place on the field at the same time. It is so versatile of a defense that you could be in what appears to be a 5-2 defense on one play and then drop back in to a 4-2-5 zone on the next. Zone blitzing is especially effective from the 3-4 because you have so many players who can do similar things. You almost have endless combinations of the zone blitzes you can call. This is what has made Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel so successful over the past; they were completely unpredictable and nobody had any idea what they are going to do next. They did so many different things every week that at times it seemed like they were drawing defensive calls out of a hat.
On the defensive line, the two most commonly used schemes are the "2" and "1" gap. In the "2" gap, the defensive lineman are responsible for the gap to either side of their technique. For instance, the NG, in a "0" technique (head up on the center) would have the job of covering either gap between the OC and the OG's. He accomplishes this by driving into the OC and then shedding him once he reads which gap the play will come to. At the very least, he hopes to tie up the OC and at least one of the OG's and keep them off the inside linebackers. Same applies for the DT's. This is why in a typical 3-4 defense, the ILB's will have the majority of the tackles. The "2" gap is usually know as the Fairbanks-Bullough, named after Chuck Fairbanks and Hank Bullough, two early innovators of the 3-4 as mentioned previously.
In the "1" gap, the defensive lineman will have a single gap responsibility. This system is not what people think of when they think of the 3-4, because the original 3-4 was/is strictly a 2-gap system. The Phillips is named after "Bum Phillips". Bum learned under Paul "Bear" Bryant at A&M and had coached high school football well enough to break into the college ranks (not a common route). He was a defensive coordinator in SD, then in HOU (that's the Oilers for you young folks). He later was a head coach in HOU and later for NO.
Phillips was an innovator who turned the 3-4 upside down. His system is one-gap. The DL penetrates, and is charged with constant harrasment of the QB. The LBs are typically fast, and at least one of them will blitz on any given play.
The reason for the near constant 1-LB blitz is to account for the fact that the outnumbered DL is also relatively undersized and only one-gapping. However, the adjustments work out well. The OL never knows who the blitzer will be, or where he will come from. The Phillips is more aggressive that the Bullough. The school of thought for the Phillips 3-4 is the need to pressure against the QB to stop the pass threat, and this is done by varying who the "fourth rusher" (who is really a blitzer) is. Add another blitzer in here and there, and the speedy/aggressive Phillips system is a threat to QBs, and attempts to get turnovers by slashing the time that a QB has to make decisions.
Another system is the Lebeau Zone Blitz and the theme for the Lebeau system is attack, attack, attack. The Zone Blitz is very nasty thing to deal with. In terms of player types, one can vary the NT type and even the DEs, but 1 gap speed DEs are much more common.
The zone blitz play (also know as a zone fire play) has been around for ages. Dick Lebeau took the play and turned it into a full system for Pittsburgh in the early 90's. He tried his hand at head coaching and being a coordinator elsewhere, but with little success. He doesn't seem to be a good manager, and isn't great at adopting to the existing systems of other teams. What Lebeau is know for it two things. His players love him (they play hard for him), and he is an excellent theoretician who develops elaborate plays with many twists.
The idea is that the different DLs will often drop back into coverage, while several linebackers (and even defensive backs) will blitz. The OL can't brace themselves, because if they do they will likely brace for the wrong assault. This is the one defense that prides itsself on turning the tables - the defensive line and the LBs hit the OL hard and often and try to wear down the other side.
CBs most often jam or jack the WRs , then either drop into zone or blitz. SAFs either zone or blitz (a safety blitz is called a "monster"), the LBs blitz most often, and sometimes zone, the DL either rushes or ends up in zone. It's a very fun defense to watch.
This defense tries to stop the run by penetrating the OL and disrupting the offense's backfield. They stop the pass by targetting the QB with heavy blitz packages. The zone blitz is very effective against screen passes, wreaks havoc against check offs by QBs (because the zones can't be anticipated, nor can the rush), and is the only major defensive scheme that is predicated on wearing down the OL instead of the OL wearing down the DL. For these reasons, the timing system used by many spread offenses can face more troubles here than in many other systems.
There is one glaring weakness. You drop a DL into a zone and the blitz doesn't hurry the QB and the QB has a quick-realease for an arm... well your defensive lineman isn't probably going to match a WR or TE going for a reception, is he?
Another scheme that makes the 3-4 so flexible is the Over/Under. In this alignment, the linebackers rotate can "rotate" or "slide" to the "Over" (towards the strong side) or the "Under" (towards the weak side). The rotating OLB moves up to the line of scrimmage and plays the "50" or "60" technique (adding the "0" means he is lined up off the line of scrimmage on the OT or TE outside shoulder). He can be in either a three-point or two-point stance. The two ILB's rotate to a "40" and "10" technique and the backside OLB now plays the "40" technique. While this alignment can easily be confused with a 4-3, it is definitely different. Either OLB can be in blitz, stunt or coverage. By moving the OLB to a "60" technique (slightly outside of the TE) it puts him in great position to either jam the TE, a speed rush, or coverage in the shallow flats. Also, the backside OLB can loop around the tackle for an outside rush or overload the weak side protection by blitzing the "A", "B", or "C" gap. The Over/Under also yields itself well to the zone blitz and makes it very easy to disguise coverages.

|The following paper (which followed up earlier reports) demonstrates that high light intensity enhances a plants immune system. Thus, if you decide to try to "clean" a virused rose by using buds or cuttings,I suggest that: in addition to selecting the cuttings from a plant exposed to the maximun heat of the summer that you also subject the plant to high light intensity. Although this paper is not on specific viruses known to infect roses, behavior from model plants is often very useful in understanding behavior in other plants. This is a suggestion for research. Not a "proof".
Here is a link that might be useful: 2010 reviewed scientific paper
Follow-Up Postings:
|What do you mean by 'high light intensity' - amount of lumens, red light, blue light, high pressure sodium, halide? I do a fair bit of growing under artificial light so I am well aware how plant behaviour can be affected. What exactly do you mean by immune system - or is this another term for adaptability, similar to human antibody production.Also, how do you clean a virused plant using cuttings? My experience of virus, admittedly not any which affect roses, has been that they are generally systemic, even though not all of the plant shows an apparent effect, it will still be infectious throughout the plant. My blackcurrants are always at risk of reversion virus because other plot holders are slack about removing plants which have been affected by big bud mite....and the inevitable reversion virus which follows. Usually, I have to toss them on a five yearly cycle as I cannot find any way of preventing this apart from continual replacement of stock.
I started to read the article and quickly admitted defeat feeling like a thicko.

|Thank you for that paper, Henry. Ultraviolet light kills germs, and is recommended for sterilizing bottled water in Third World countries. Lack of sunlight, and vitamin D, is also a factor in cancer rate.
When my neighbor put in a fence that blocks the sunlight from the lower trunk - my peach tree has bad fungi infestation, and so does my corkscrew willow. The other corkscrew willow tree with more sun is not affected.

|The first question that I will attempt to answer is: "What exactly do you mean by immune system - or is this another term for adaptability, similar to human antibody production."
The general understanding that plants have immune systems (and that the immune system can be more effective at high temperature than at low temperature) is a rather recent development. I have attempted to summarize the scientific research behind this concept in a web page article. See below:
The following link gives a general summary: "Plants possess active and passive means of preventing virus infection. Passive defenses are due to the failure of the plant to produce one or more host factors required for virus reproduction and spread within the host. Active defenses include detection and destruction of the virus-infected cells due to the function of specific resistance genes in the plant. Normally, resistance genes are active only against a particular virus. In addition, plants possess a general defense system that is somewhat analogous to the animal immune system. The major difference between the two is that the immune system in animals targets a pathogen's proteins, whereas the plant defense system, which is called RNA silencing, detects and degrades viral RNAs (Wassenegger and Pélissier 1998)."

|These comments are directed towards the the question:
"Also, how do you clean a virused plant using cuttings? My experience of virus, admittedly not any which affect roses, has been that they are generally systemic,"
It is common to read in the general rose virus reviews something along the lines of the following: "Cuttings from an infected plant will be infected - no matter what portion of the plant they were taken from. The disease is systemic: The entire plant is infected, whether visible signs of the disease are present, or not." see as one example:
A Cornell 1998 rose virus research paper (not in the cited abstract:
The statement is in the "must be paid for" full paper.) stated: "Virus distribution in apple, plum, and cherry trees is irregular" (they then give 1963, 1973, 1984, and 1986 references.) it is likely that virus distribution in rose is also irregular. This explanation appears to be reasonable since virus inoculated plants frquently exhibited some shoots expressing no symptons. It is possible that the virus has not been distributed throught the plant."
Since then, one French http://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1094/PHYTO.2000.90.5.522
and one Polish study http://184.108.40.206/ptfit/pdf/PP38a/PP38_091-098.pdf
have confired the irregular distributions.
The French reported that: "A total of 89% (59 out of 66) of Anna stems was entirely PNRSV negative when axillary shoots from these stems developed after the decapitation of the floral stem, after the development of cuttings, or grown in vitro were tested by ELISA. ELISA tests of leaves from these stems were all negative. Since IC-RT-PCR conducted in parallel on all the explants from three (out of seven) of these stems also were negative, we suspect that these stems were virus free, even if they belonged to infected plants, or that the viral titer was very low in the stems."
Thus, the French reported that they suspect that they were able to obtain clean plants from cuttings (as determined by the use of ELISA or PCR). They leave the door open that a more sensitive method may find a low amount of infection.
This is what was reported concerning California Davis ROSE VIRUS experience:
"Oddly enough, one way they eliminate virii is by clonal propagation. Simply put, if you culture enough buds (~100) some small number of them (two or three maybe) will be virus free. The drawback is space, labor and the need to index all the test plants."
See the following thread for a discussion of the possibilities of cleaning cuttings in a hot climate.

|Now on to the remaining question: "What do you mean by 'high light intensity' - amount of lumens, red light, blue light, high pressure sodium, halide?"
H.Kusks comment: they report using: " "High Light" intensity (HL) and "Low Light" intensity (LL) conditions used here, refer to 130 � 20 �mol m-2 s-1 and 35 � 15 �mol m-2 s-1 continuous white light, respectively."
"Plants grown under blue light in comparison to red light grown plants, showed a higher frequency of systemic silencing although this difference was not found to be statistically significant (see additional file 2: Table S7)."
Concerning The amount in lumans and the source. The following may be useful:
Concerning the source of white light: "Plants were grown in a chamber of 70% relative humidity and 22 � 0.5�C temperature. Illumination was provided as continuous white light under a panel of cool-white fluorescent tubes (TL-D, 50 W/84o HF, Electronic NG, Phillips, Holland) at a photosynthetically active radiation (PAR: 400-700 nm).

Bug when updating ftp accounts from reseller

Bug when updating ftp accounts from reseller
Hi all!
I'm writing about a possible bug (or strange behavior) in ispconfig 126.96.36.199
When I create an ftp account from reseller, CLIENTNAME is set with the name of the reseller and not with the final customer name. When the reseller updates an ftp account (eg. password), the client name are changed and the ftp username too. I think this is a bug. To restore it, I have to login as final customer or admin, and change it again.
I think this is a reseller related bug
Possible quick solution: lock ftp username, so when it is updated, the username does not change.
Thank you!

Marine Industry Expects Sales Increases In 2013, Says GE Capital Survey
In light of an improving consumer outlook, more than half (51 percent) of marine industry survey participants say the best time to increase inventory levels is right now to be fully stocked for the spring selling season, according to results released today by GE Capital, Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF).
"Overall, our data indicate sales are improving, costs are down and earnings are up at the dealer level," said Bruce Van Wagoner, president of CDF's marine group, a leading provider of financing to marine dealers. "We believe that 2013 will look a lot like 2012 — slow and steady growth in a smaller, healthier market."
Forty-three percent of survey respondents said they expect sales to increase 5 percent to 10 percent this year, while 30 percent said they expect sales to increase 10 percent to 15 percent.
CDF's forecast, unveiled at the Miami International Boat Show on Feb. 13, calls for the marine industry to grow about 8 percent in the U.S. in 2013. "Of course, positive news on some of the most critical economic factors could kick up consumer demand and drive industry performance beyond current expectations," Van Wagoner noted.Forty-two percent of survey respondents said that consumer demand was their greatest business concern, down from 64 percent in 2012. When asked which trend will have the largest impact on the boating industry this year, 32 percent of respondents pointed to the popularity of low-cost or "base" models, up from 23 percent last year. Thirty percent of respondents expect long production lead times, compared to 21 percent last year. Aluminum boats, fiberglass fishing boats and recreation boats are the top three types, respectively, that the industry believes will be in demand this year. "Low stocking levels may result in lost sales but, today, shipments are generally aligned with demand," Van Wagoner said. "Many dealers ask for market intelligence to make better informed decisions about brand, segments and stocking levels so they can be sure to stock the products that their customer base wants to buy."

I had hoped to be further along than I am right now in my weight loss journey. But I cant complain because I get compliments everywhere I go that I know someone. My goal during my biggest loser spring challenge is to atleast get into the 180's its still doable but I have had so many things come up that my exercising has taken the back burner, but I have been eating right still. so I havent given up its just slowed down right now. I wanted to post a picture of how far I have come since september until april. I have lost a total of 53 pounds so far, but the first pic is after I lost 3 pounds so the picture comparison is a 50 pound difference.
I may be slowed down right now but i have come a long way since september and i love it! I look at my older pictures and wonder how on earth did I not know I was THAT big? I still think im fat.....but when i look at the before pictures i know i look ALOT better now than I did.
I dont even know where to begin with my day. Started out fine then went to my mother in laws and i Love my mother in law and the stress didnt come from her at all. It was my children. My son who is usually the one who bounces off of the walls and gets into trouble with his attitude was good. It was my daughter! My daughter isnt my husbands child so there is only relation by marriage for her with these people aside from her brother of course. So my daughter gets an easter basket from my mother in law and my daughter wasnt happy with what she got and just tossed stuff on the floor as she took it out of the basket like she didnt even appreciate what my mother in law had gotten her! OMG that made me so angry. Her attitude continued the entire time about EVERYTHING. She was spoken to every single time too. We got in the car to go home and all she did was pick fights with her brother about the littlest things. she didnt like where he had his foot so she complained. Needless to say I am taking everything in her room and putting it into garbage bags and put into the basement until my greedy ungrateful child can appreciate what she has! I was always grateful with what i got as a child because we didnt get much. Thats the difference with my childhood and my childrens they have WAY more stuff than i ever thought about owning! Her father doesnt help the situation any by buying her everything she wants and I am guilty too on occasion. But this has got to stop! this is where my stress comes from is how my children act. Oh then my son started in with his attitude when we got home because i was trying to change his clothes.....yea lots of stress today. Going to be going for a run later though to clear my mind and relieve some of this stress. The food is calling me oh so badly but running is a better choice. Hoping this day gets better. And hope everyone had a good holiday.
I know i posted a onderland blog already but I have offically said goodbye to the 200's FOREVER! I weighed in this morning at 197......and i dont plan on going back lol. So happy! I cannot believe that I am under 200 such an amazing feeling! Gives me hope for the rest of my goal :)
So today isnt my weigh in day or anything but I stepped on the scale this morning and it said im 199 and oh so close to 198! I am so excited i havent been under 200 in YEARS! I just wanted to share my AMAZING news with everyone because without this site i would have never in a million years succeeded!
I normally fail when it comes to joining challenges on here. But this time I am going to succeed. Starting tomorrow I am doing all of the things I have set for myself to do. No more takeout, cardio everyday, 10 glasses of water everyday, and 3 different ab exercises 4 times a week!
I am going to fight through the pain and complete these challenges. I have to do it because I want this for me and I am worth it! Cant wait to start.

The 10-Minute Workout That Can Keep Your Heart Healthy
Lower your heart disease risk with this easy exercise routine
By Tula Karras

BENEFIT This classic yoga pose stretches and strengthens just about everything, including legs, shoulders, back and arms.
HOW TO Start standing up and fold forward, knees bent. Place hands on the ground with palms flat and fingers forward. Walk feet back 3 to 4 feet until legs are straight (or almost straight), back flat, bottom toward ceiling.
Keep your gaze between ankles to relax your neck, and press heels toward the mat to stretch the back of legs. Hold the position for 5 to 10 deep inhales and exhales.
