QAFAC, as part of its commitment to the Qatari community through a programme of Corporate Social Responsibility 'CSR' and to encourage sporting activities among locals of all ages, is to sponsor Qatari rally driver Abdullah Al-Kuwari for the upcoming Qatar National Rally for season 2012-2013.
This sponsorship takes the form of a financial contribution to Abdullah Al-Kuwari's team. In return, QAFAC's logo will adorn the rally car, the driving uniforms, and also the overalls of the team members working in the 'pit lane'.
The Qatar National Rally takes place over a total of six rounds later this year and into 2013. The dates of the first two stages have been confirmed as taking place on November 10 and December 15, with the remainder of the dates for next year still to be finalised.
However, the Qatar International Rally, as well as being a 'stand alone' event, also forms a round of the National Rally calendar, and this takes place over the weekend of January 11 and 12, 2013.
Mr Abdullah Al-Kuwari first participated in the Qatar National Rally in 2001, winning the event in 2002, 2004. In 2002 he came a very creditable third in the pan-regional Middle East Rally Championship and in 2009 won the 'Race of Champions' event.
The extent of QAFAC's sponsorship of the driver is a visionary one. As well as providing funds for the driver to participate in the event – with motor racing a notoriously expensive pursuit – Mr Abdullah Al-Kuwari's car will also be partly fuelled by methanol, supplied by QAFAC of course. QAFAC's headline products are better for the environment than conventional fuels.
Both MTBE and the methanol in Abdullah's tank are clean burning fuels that reduce the tail gas pollution generated by a combustion engine. QAFAC's environmentally sound production methods and products have seen it honored as the first industrial operation to obtain the Environmental Permit from the Qatari Government after submitting a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment Report.
Mr Nasser Jeham Al Kuwari, the General Manager of QAFAC, said, "The sponsorship of Abdullah Al-Kuwari makes sense to us on a number of levels. Firstly, we think it's imperative to support local sportsmen and women as part of our companies CSR programme which is making a real contribution to Qatari society."
"Secondly, Abdullah Al-Kuwari's car will carry the QAFAC logo on the outside, and we will be making a contribution under the bonnet as well, as the car will be partly fuelled by methanol, one of QAFAC's headline products, and one that is far more environmentally friendly than regular motor fuel. Overall, the sponsorship package represents a good vehicle for QAFAC's products, expertise and commitment to Qatari sports. We sincerely hope that we can help power Abdullah to victory," he added.
Mr Abdullah Al-Kuwari said, "I would like to thank QAFAC for the faith it has shown in me by agreeing to sponsor my participation in the Qatar National Rally series for 2012-2013. I'm very excited about the upcoming event and I think it will be especially interesting to see how the car performs with a mix of methanol and regular petrol in the tank. Because of its 'cleaner burning' properties, methanol is becoming increasingly popular as a motor racing fuel and it's great to have my sponsor helping propel me towards, hopefully, first place! Hopefully the new ingredient will give me an edge over my fellow competitors."
"I'll certainly be doing my best for myself, my team, my sponsors and the people of Qatar. I'm hugely grateful for QAFAC's sponsorship and support, and I will be going all out for victory," he added.

Summary: Examines the traditional and modern Western interpretations of the Tao-te-ching, and its author, Lao-tzu. Lao-tzu and the Tao-te-ching presents a coherent collection of materials on the ancient Chinese classic and its author, describing traditional and modern Western interpretations. Written and edited by recognized international specialists in the field, this book brings Lao-tzu and the Tao-te-ching together to present current scholarship on their history and inte ...show morerpretation. Contributors include William H. Baxter, Alan K.L. Chan, A.C. Graham, Julia M. Hardy, Yoshiko Kamitsuka, Livia Kohn, Michael LaFargue, Julian Pas, Isabelle Robinet, Benjamin Schwartz, and Liu Xiaogan. Divided into four parts, the book provides a wealth of information on the influential Chinese classic.
Part One, ''Ancient Myths,'' discusses who Lao-tzu was, how he developed into a god of religious Taoism, and how his divinity was represented in medieval Chinese sculpture. Part Two, ''Chinese Interpretations,'' discusses the role of the text in traditional China, studying the major commentaries by Wang Pi and He-shang-kung, looking at about thirty commentaries and their philological and doctrinal interpretations and examining the ritual uses the text found in medieval Taoism. Part Three, ''Modern Readings,'' contains a critical discussion of the Tao-te-ching's reception in the West, a general analysis of its major doctrines, and a contemporary Chinese vision of its possible relevance for life today. Part Four, ''Critical Methods,'' presents recent findings on the Tao-te-ching's linguistic structure and probable date, a historical, hermeneutic enquiry into its original meaning, and an evaluative guide to seventeen major English translations.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
A Tight Trade Market
by Paul on 02/06/13 at 09:39 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
Senators GM Bryan Murray has been among those sniffing around the NHL to see what's available, but like his 29 counterparts he's finding it's a lot easier to give than receive when it comes to making a trade.
League sources told the Sun Tuesday it's going to take at least another week before the market shakes loose and there's enough separation between the top and the bottom-feeders for teams to start having serious trade talks.

Makes 10 servings
- 1 6-ounce package dried apricots
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 1/2 cups orange blossom honey
- 1/2 cup water

Religious Right Dream Team Joins Dobson For Discussion on Marriage
Today's broadcast of "Family Talk With Dr. James Dobson" featured an all-star Religious Right line-up of leaders in the fight against marriage equality, including Bishop Harry Jackson, Dr. Jim Garlow, Dr. Ken Hutcherson, Gary Bauer & Tony Perkins.
This was actually just part one of a two part series that will conclude tomorrow and I have edited down the program to its key soundbites.
As you would expect, each one was greatly alarmed by push for marriage equality and vowed to dedicate their lives to doing everything they can to fighting it, with Jackson, who has walking pneumonia warning, warning that that it is the nation that has walking pneumonia that will turn fatal if left untreated, while Garlow asserted that secularists hate democracy as Bauer attacked the elites for promoting the bizarre idea of men marrying men and Perkins warned that children will be "indoctrinated into the ways of homosexuality":
Jackson: I think the nation has walking pneumonia and if we don't stop it, this thing could become fatal.
Garlow: Well, for one, we're not going to give up; we're going to press forward. It is true that it seems the secularists do really hate democracy, they don't like it when the people speak out so they try to get a judge or judges to try to take away the consent of the governed.
It's shocking to me that anybody would be attacked for standing up the family or standing for marriage or that a child needs a mommy and a daddy. Who would think that we'd be in such a condition that somebody would be attacked for that? But we just do not believe that somehow the power of the enemy is going to breakthrough and totally destroy the definition of the family. We're going to stand firm. The social science is on our side, overwhelmingly so, the practical implications are on our side, and the Biblical data is on our side.
Bauer: And what are the liberal elites of our country doing, whether it's the media elites or even the president or our judicial elites, etc., the people in Hollywood? Instead of devoting their energy to trying to stop this destruction of the American family and do something to make sure our children have mothers and fathers, they're all spending their time promoting instead men marrying men and women marrying women, which will guarantee that more children will have either not fathers or mothers. It is just a bizarre concept.
Perkins: As soon as same-sex marriage is rolled-out, the curriculum is changed to aggressively promote homosexuality on par with heterosexuality. There is complete intolerance in those pushing this agenda in our schools. And so this goes back to the question "how will this affect my marriage"? It will affect your family because your children will be taught that this is normal and it will be aggressively taught to them and they'll be indoctrinated into the ways of homosexuality.

Since California passed its controversial law requiring public schools to include a social studies curriculum that included the contributions of gays and lesbians, opponents have organized in an attempt to overturn the law. On Tuesday, those opponents moved one step closer to their goal when California's Secretary of State cleared them to begin collecting signatures for a ballot referendum.
Willow Creek Community Church, a Chicago-area mega-church that gained fame 20 years ago for its "seeker-sensitive" approach to evangelizing non-Christians, has announced that it will no longer partner with Exodus International, a national ministry that reaches out to individuals wishing to leave the homosexual lifestyle.
One of the nation's largest denominational social services networks is in danger of a major split over the decision by one of the participants to take a tolerant stance on homosexuality. According to a report by the Associated Press, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (logo, top left), a theologically conservative denomination, has announced "that direct work with its larger and more liberal counterpart, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America [ELCA, logo, bottom left], has become 'difficult if not impossible,' because of doctrinal differences," including the 2009 decision by the ELCA to allow for the ordination of homosexuals as clergy members.

NFC West: Rocky Bernard
Bernard, Rolle seek Super Bowl redemption
"I don't want to feel that pain again," Bernard said. "It's something you can't get over. You work so hard to get to that point and we were so confident going into the game, felt like we could win."
Bernard, like quite a few Seahawks fans, still feels as though officiating errors played a significant role in the outcome. Bernard brought up that aspect of the game without prompting.
"We kind of felt like it was taken away from us," Bernard said.
Referee Bill Leavy later apologized. The NFL stood by the officiating at the time.
Another NFC West Super Bowl alum, ex-Arizona Cardinal Antrel Rolle, can also offset painful Super Bowl memories if the Giants win. Rolle, whose Cardinals lost to the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII, started all 16 games and picked off two passes for the Giants this season.
"Being here one time before and not coming out on top, it's a feeling you never, ever get rid of," Rolle said. "I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure I'm not on that side of that fence again."
Also: New England Patriots special-teams player Niko Koutouvides was also part of that 2005 Seattle team. He pointed to the camaraderie of the 2005 team as one of the reasons for its success. He said the current Patriots have the same feel to them.
Programming note: Headed for Indianapolis
The plane I'm riding in, a Boeing 757, is traveling 565 mph at 35,637 feet, according to tracking software. I'll be connecting through Atlanta, so this will be a full travel day.
Once situated in Indy, I'll be helping with our Super Bowl coverage, with an eye toward this division. Josh McDaniels, David Baas, Bear Pascoe, David Carr, Rocky Bernard, Jimmy Kennedy, Deon Grant, Antrel Rolle, Isaiah Stanback, Deion Branch, Niko Koutouvides, Tracy White and Andre Carter are among the NFC West alumni currently with the Super Bowl participants.
Quite a few current NFC West players will be filtering through Indianapolis for various events during the week. I'll be catching up with some of them.
The week will conclude with Hall of Fame voting, followed by the Super Bowl itself. I don't have a strong feeling as to which team will win the game. Both should like their chances. I did pick New England to win it all before the season -- one of the few predictions that remains on track -- so I'll likely stick with the Patriots when ESPN solicits staffers' predictions later in the week.
Here's hoping this Sunday treats you well.
Update: Yes, I made it to Indy. Grabbed a sandwich tonight with AFC North blogger Jamison Hensley. Will be heading over to ESPN's Super Bowl headquarters downtown on Monday morning.
Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch looks at free-agent possibilities for the Rams this offseason. Thomas: "At running back, a crater-size hole remains on the depth chart behind Steven Jackson. There are some interesting names on this list, including Joseph Addai of Indianapolis, Ahmad Bradshaw of the New York Giants and DeAngelo Williams of Carolina. But none of those three would be unrestricted if six-year free agency is in place. However, Cedric Benson of Cincinnati, Ronnie Brown of Miami, Darren Sproles of San Diego and Cadillac Williams of Tampa will be unrestricted whether the required experience level for free agency is four years or six." Adding Sproles in particular would liven up the Rams' offense considerably by diversifying the backfield.
Tony Softli of 101ESPN St. Louis sizes up potential free-agent guards and projects how they might fit with the Rams. He thinks the Cardinals' Deuce Lutui would fit nicely at right guard. Softli: "Interior blocker that lost mindset in 2010, but has the athletic ability and nasty attitude to compete like a Pro Bowler when focused and is what the Rams need leading the way for Steven Jackson."
D'Marco Farr of 101ESPN St. Louis says the Rams need improvement from second-year players to realize their potential in 2011.
Eric D. Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune checks in with Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, who says he felt as though the team did not have him in its plans. The sides spoke only generally about a new contract before the lockout. Mebane: "When you go over that stuff, I guess it's time to pack up and put the house up for sale. I feel like I wasn't in their plans. And I feel like I have that right to think that because I got a third-round tender. If they really wanted me, they had plenty of time to do what they had to do. Me personally, from my experience, I don't think I was in their plans. I would love to come back here, but I don't know what their plans are. But it's all good. I'm blessed. I thank God that I haven't had any surgeries. I've had some nagging things here and there. But God put me in a good position." General manager John Schneider used the term "steady pro" to describe Mebane at the scouting combine, an indication the team wasn't planning to break the bank for him. But when Seattle did not address the position in the draft, Schneider indicated that re-signing Mebane could become a higher priority. Mebane also says his job got tougher once the team lost Rocky Bernard.
Brock Huard of 710ESPN Seattle doesn't see Kyle Orton as a good fit for the Seahawks. Huard: "Darrell Bevell's system that he is going to implement is going to be the quick passing game. It's a system that's built, to some extent, on having a mobile, at least athletic quarterback and that is what Kyle Orton is not. Think Ryan Mallett, not quite as big an arm, more accurate. I just think from a fit standpoint from what they want to do schematically, Kyle Orton is not the guy."
Clare Farnsworth of seahawks.com makes available an audio link to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's conference call with Seattle season-ticket holders.
Also from Farnsworth: He catches up with former Seahawks punter Rick Tuten, who relays a funny story about his first game with the team. Tuten had played with Buffalo previously. Tuten: "When I was in Buffalo [he punted for the Bills in 1990], we got our parking tag and you just parked wherever in the players' lot. Well, I come out after my first game as a Seahawk -– feeling pretty good about what I'd just done -– and my car was gone because I didn't park in the right place. It had been towed. So I had to take a taxi to the impound lot to bail my car out. And a rental car, at that."
Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times offers a few highlights from Goodell's call with Seattle fans.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee says 49ers rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick underwent "minor" leg surgery after the draft, when Kaepernick finally had time to address an undisclosed injury that bothered him late last season. Barrows: "Agent Scott Smith said NFL teams were aware of Kaepernick's condition prior to the draft. He said Kaepernick could have waited to have the procedure but, given the current labor impasse, decided to get it taken care of now."
Also from Barrows: thoughts on rookie Chris Culliver's conversion from receiver to safety to cornerback.
Doug Farrar of Yahoo! offers thoughts on what first-round choice Aldon Smith might add to the 49ers.
Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com says the 49ers do not see running back Kendall Hunter as only a change-of-pace back. General manager Trent Baalke: "This is a guy we feel can run the power game, can run between the tackles, can get out on the edges, can pass protect, can come out of the backfield and catch the football, can return kicks (and) can play on coverage teams, if we ask him to."
Also from Maiocco: The 49ers expect the offensive tackles they drafted to play guard and/or center in the NFL.
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic says former Cardinals linebacker Seth Joyner is establishing a football camp for kids in Arizona. Joyner: "Ultimately, my goal is to create an Arizona combine that really does something with the young football players in Arizona. We want to teach everything from learning how to tackle properly to avoiding concussions, to just the basic fundamentals."
Also from Somers: general thoughts on the Cardinals, including one about Orton. Somers: "I think the Cardinals have some interest in Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton, who might be available via trade. Any team trading for Orton, however, has to examine what happened to him and the Broncos offense in the latter part of the season. If the Cardinals think that Orton was a victim of circumstances (coaching change, coach firing, etc.), they will go after him. I still think their first call is to the Eagles, however."
Darren Urban of azcardinals.com says the team has never adequately replaced former tight end Freddie Mitchell. Rookie third-round choice Rob Housler is the latest prospect. Urban: "Housler will get a chance to show what he has, and there is a chance the Cards also look in free agency. Jim Dray should be back, and Stephen Spach could be too; Ben Patrick may be more iffy depending on who else is signed. The Cards will have at least four tight ends in training camp."
Also from Urban: The Cardinals' strength-and-conditioning coaches could use some company in the weight room.
Porter had only been arrested as of Saturday. He had not been charged, let alone convicted.
But a conviction isn't always necessary for the NFL to mete out punishment.
The league suspended then-Seahawks defensive tackle Rocky Bernard for the 2008 regular-season opener even though a court never convicted him on a domestic-violence charge. Bernard agreed to undergo domestic-violence training as part of an agreement that can result in charges being dropped after two years.
The NFL did not suspend Seahawks linebackers Lofa Tatupu or Leroy Hill over DUI arrests last offseason.
In 2009, the San Diego Union-Tribune put together a list of 60 arrests involving NFL players. Quite a few never resulted in suspensions.
By the decade: NFC West defensive line
The word "character" applies to both, though in different ways.
Little, his off-field legacy damaged by his role in a drunken-driving crash that killed a woman, showed what scouts and coaches call "football character" -- passion, determination, toughness, etc. Young, held up as a model citizen and all-around good guy, also possessed those on-field traits.
Both were extremely productive and, at their best, dominant and inspirational players. Both played hard regardless of how well their teams played.
The interception and diving touchdown return Little provided in the closing minutes against Jacksonville this past season stands out as one example. Young always commanded the highest compliments from opposing offensive linemen. They admired his production and the way he conducted himself. Former Seahawks guard Chris Gray once said he thought Young would have kept going to Pro Bowls if the 49ers had left him at defensive tackle in a 4-3 instead of transitioning him to end in a 3-4.
There were other very good defensive linemen in the NFC West during the decade.
The Cardinals' Darnell Dockett, now playing end in a 3-4, ranked second on my list of defensive tackles. Ranking second to Young, a potential future Hall of Famer, should stand as an honor. A few other defensive linemen -- Chike Okeafor, Grant Wistrom and Bryce Fisher -- played well for multiple teams within the division.
The charts below draw information from Pro Football Reference (Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Seahawks).
Flashback to Seattle's last victory at Arizona
Shaun Alexander carried 23 times for 173 yards and two touchdowns during a 33-19 Seattle victory at Sun Devil Stadium. The Seahawks, headed to Super Bowl XL after that season, picked off Kurt Warner three times and sacked him four times.
A couple things about these teams have changed since that game. I had some fun sifting through those 2005 rosters.

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Devin from Burlington, Conn., writes: Sando, Matt Hasselbeck at 15????! If you were going to start a franchise tomorrow, you would take Aaron Rodgers over Matt Hasselbeck? I think your GM career would be short lived. Hasselbeck struggled with injuries to his receivers and a crummy offensive line over the last two years. He is top six easy.
Mike Sando: My GM career might be short lived, but not for that reason. Any general manager starting a franchise would select the 25-year-old quarterback coming off a 4,000-yard, 28-touchdown season over the nearly 35-year-old veteran coming off two down seasons in the last three years, plus a back injury.
You mentioned injuries to Hasselbeck's receivers and problems on his offensive line. I think you're overlooking the fact that Hasselbeck has struggled with his own injuries. Let's see how well he bounces back this summer and into the season before assuming that two of the past three seasons were aberrations.
We all know Hasselbeck is a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback and one of the 10 best in the game when he is at his best. It's just been a while since he's been at his best -- long enough, I think, to not blindly assume he'll be at his best this season.
Jeremy from Phoenix writes: Hey Mike. Thanks for posting your ranking of all the QBs in the league. Glad to see Kurt Warner in the top five. My question doesn't necessarily relate to the NFC West. However, it relates to former Cardinals OC Todd Haley, so I will ask and hope for an answer. What do you think about the Chiefs giving Matt Cassel such a big, long-term contract this soon?
Speculation in the media has had the Chiefs waiting to see how well Cassel performs for at least 4-6 games before throwing a big contract at him. What if Cassel was successful last season simply because he was on the Patriots? What if the Chiefs start the season 0-6 or 1-5 and Cassel posts terrible numbers?
I understand the Chiefs are in a rebuilding phase and losses are expected in that process. But do you think it was a mistake to pull the trigger on a big contract so soon? Is there any particular reason or advantage the Chiefs would have for getting Cassel taken care of now? Or does Scott Pioli just have that much faith in him?
Mike Sando: The Chiefs were already paying $14.65 million per year to Cassel. The extension brings down the average and redefines Cassel as an average starter in terms of compensation. If you're willing to trade a second-round draft choice for a player earning $14.65 million per year, you had better think highly of the player.
Early look at the 2010 compensatory draft picks
The first stage in the process of determining compensatory choices for the 2010 draft passed quietly with the June 1 deadline for NFL teams to make qualifying offers to unrestricted free agents. No team extended an offer to a UFA candidate. That means no additional UFA signings this offseason will influence compensatory choices.
The compensatory formula is complex. AdamJT13 has come close to solving it. Basically, the NFL awards additional draft choices to teams that lost free agents more valuable than the free agents teams signed. Values are determined by salaries and on-field contributions.
I had pulled a list of free agents NFC West teams added and lost when I noticed AdamJT13 had already done it on his blog. He notes that it's not yet known whether NFL teams extended qualifying offers to any UFAs. I can provide a small assist here by confirming that no teams extended qualifying offers to any UFAs.
A team-by-team look at the early compensatory picture in the NFC West:
Arizona: The Cardinals added two UFAs from other teams and lost four. They paid $5 million per year to cornerback Bryant McFadden. They lost defensive end Antonio Smith to a deal worth $7.1 million per season. How much those players play and at what level they perform could prove influential. And if former Cardinals cornerback Eric Green enjoys a bounce-back season with the Dolphins, that could improve Arizona's compensatory ledger.
St. Louis: The Rams do not appear to be in strong position in the compensatory race. Center Jason Brown, added from the Ravens at $7.5 million per season, should more than cancel out the Rams' three UFA losses (offensive linemen Brett Romberg, Nick Leckey and Brandon Gorin). The Rams also added Kyle Boller, James Butler and Billy Bajema.
San Francisco: The 49ers also do not appear to be in strong position in the compensatory race. Additions Brandon Jones, Marvel Smith, Demetric Evans and Moran Norris could play quite a bit. The players San Francisco lost -- Bryant Johnson, Ronald Fields, J.T. O'Sullivan, Donald Strickland, Bajema and Sean Ryan -- appear unlikely to cancel out the additions.
Seattle: I would like to hear AdamJT13's analysis on the Seahawks' compensatory situation. The team spent $8 million per season for receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh and nearly $4.4 million per season for defensive tackle Colin Cole. The team lost defensive tackle Rocky Bernard ($4 million), running back Maurice Morris ($2.1 million), fullback Leonard Weaver (nearly $1.8 million), receiver Bobby Engram ($1.25 million) and offensive lineman Floyd Womack ($1 million) among its seven departures.
AdamJT13 was good about helping out when I asked for his input earlier this year. Here's hoping we hear from him again.
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Bill Coats of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the Rams have hired three scouts with ties to general manager Billy Devaney. The team dismissed three other scouts. The Rams have also replaced their security director. These things tend to happen when organizations replace their leadership. Coats: "The new hires are Drew Casani, Joel Patton and Jonathan Gannon. Also, Brad Holmes was promoted from combine scout to area scout; Gannon is now the combine scout."
Nick Wagoner of stlouisrams.com checks in with the Rams' young receivers. Wagoner: "As it stands, it appears second-year men Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton are all but sure things to sit atop the depth chart when the smoke has cleared. Laurent Robinson, acquired from Atlanta via trade before the draft, is also right in the mix."
VanRam of Turf Show Times takes a statistical look at Rams quarterback Marc Bulger. One thing stood out to me: Bulger's yards per attempt have fallen almost every year. That probably says as much about his supporting cast as it says about Bulger, and possibly more.
David Fucillo of Niners Nation provides NFC West rankings for wide receivers. The 49ers fall third on the list behind the Cardinals and Seahawks. That position seems pretty clearly defined within the division. The 49ers and Seahawks should be much better at receiver in 2009. Fucillo: "I've held back discussing [Michael] Crabtree because I actually expect his draft season foot problems to slow him down out of the gates. While I certainly expect contributions from Crabtree, I'd prefer to operate under a conservative assumption and be pleasantly surprised by whatever he does contribute. Furthermore, I think the 49ers have sufficient depth to cover any growing pains for Crabtree."
Darren Urban of azcardinals.com offers praise for Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson while suggesting the team is moving closer toward extending Wilson's contract. Rewarding Wilson with an extension would send the right message to his teammates. Show up, play well, work hard, be a team player and get paid. It doesn't always work that way, of course, but it should in this case. And I think it will. Might it work for Anquan Boldin and Darnell Dockett? We won't know unless they give it a try. Their current approach hasn't worked to this point.
Eric D. Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune rounds up Seahawks-related links while wondering how anyone could rank Rocky Bernard over Brandon Mebane among NFL defensive tackles. Bernard was certainly better a few years ago, but Mebane was in the Pac-10 at that time. Perhaps a change of scenery will help jump-start Bernard. I wondered last season whether Bernard missed having a veteran player such as Chuck Darby pushing him. Mebane was better than Bernard last season, although that might have said as much about Mebane as it did about Bernard.
Mailbag: Dude from Brooklyn stays on offense
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
The Dude in Brooklyn writes: Sando, Sando, Sando. The Dude cannot abide. You cannot write "let's consult the games" and consult only one game before determining that offense wins championships. You're disappointing the Dude ...
The only Super Bowl teams this decade without a top-10 defense were the 2005 Seahawks (a slightly below average D), the 2007 Colts (the sole winner) and the 2008 Cards (considered a fluke by most and a miracle by all).
Since the merger in 1970, only three teams have won a Super Bowl with a below average defense: the '76 Raiders (18th of 28), '87 Redskins (18th of 28), and the 2007 Colts (21st of 32). The only defenses to play in the Super Bowl after finishing in the bottom 30th percentile in the NFL were the losing '91 Bills (27th of 28), losing '93 Bills (27th of 28), and losing 2008 Cards (28th of 32).
The Super Bowl teams without a top-10 offense include the 2000 Giants & Ravens (Champs), 2001 Patriots (Champs), 2002 Bucs (Champs), 2003 Panthers & Patriots (Champs), 2005 Steelers (Champs), 2006 Bears, 2007 Giants (Champs) and the 2008 Steelers (Champs). That's 10 of the last 18 Super Bowl teams and seven of the last nine winners. Those Super Bowls featured borderline quarterbacks such as Rex Grossman, Jake Delhomme, Brad Johnson (Champ), Trent Dilfer (Champ) and Kerry Collins.
Offense wins championships?! If you believe that, I've got some Chrysler stock and a PT Cruiser to sell you.
Mike Sando: I have proof that we do not necessarily disagree here. Scoring defense might be the most important statistic. I've made the case on this site, with the following notation:
I think the importance of strong quarterback play grows in the postseason. The Jets didn't trade up to No. 6 to take a quarterback because they hoped he would become the next Rex Grossman.Proclaiming that defense wins championships doesn't diminish the importance of other aspects of the game. Offensive categories have become more strongly correlated with victories over the past two seasons, particularly with Tom Brady and the Patriots' posting a 16-0 record this year [story was written in January 2008].
John from St. Louis writes: Hey Mike. I saw your story about the rookies and who will stay. My question to you is what rookies do you think will have the biggest impact on there teams in the NFC west? I know its early but could you go out on a limb and try to pick rookie of the year awards? Thanks a lot sando keep up the good work!
Mike Sando: You're welcome. Chris Wells will probably get the most touches of the NFC West rookies. For that reason, and because he'll be joining a high-powered offense, I think Wells has the best chance to make the biggest impact among NFC West rookies.
Michael Crabtree would qualify as a close second. He could become the favorite depending on how the 49ers structure their offense. Aaron Curry and Jason Smith will have a harder time competing for such awards because of the nature of their positions, unles the Seahawks find ways for Curry to collect multiple sacks and interceptions.
I'm just not sure the 49ers' offense or the Seahawks' defense will perform as well as the Cardinals' offense. That could also help Wells.
Comings and goings: Seahawks since Super Bowl
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
A quick look at 53-man rosters from Feb. 1, date of Super Bowl XLIII, provides a reference point for seeing how NFC West teams have changed so far this offseason.
I'll conclude with Seattle.
Gone from the Seahawks' 53-man roster and injured reserve list in the 58 days since the Super Bowl (12):
Charlie Frye, QB
Koren Robinson, WR
Maurice Morris, RB
Leonard Weaver, FB
Steve McKinney, C
Floyd Womack, OL
Bobby Engram, WR
Will Heller, TE
Howard Green, DT
Julian Peterson, LB
Rocky Bernard, DT
Special teams
Jeff Robinson, LS
Mailbag: Dissecting options for the 49ers
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Brian from Maryland writes: Hey Mike, been reading since you started the blog, first time posting though. I wanted to cover the long-looming question about the Niners' first round pick. Everyone keeps stressing the "obvious needs" like SAM, OT, WR, QB ... the list goes on. We have heard names ranging from Orakpo, Maybin, Brown, A. Smith, Oher, Sanchez, Maclin ... the list seems to go on and on.
What I think people fail to realize is that the Niners will fill multiple positions in the draft, so it is important to find where the largest drop-off occurs per position.
- QB -- While there is absolutely no reason for the Niners to draft a signal-caller after cutting Alex Smith's contract [see end of 2006, start of 2007 when he was last fully healthy], we must explore it due to everyone else's concerns. I think we are fine with Hill and Smith for now, as Smith will get his shot and get to learn, making him more comfortable with the system. Hill enters as the starter, and Smith will get a shot. Per Matt Maiocco, if Smith never gets a shot, then Hill was the right call. If not, he will be ready and the fans will love him since they will want a change at the position. Can anyone honestly tell me that we would be talking about Matt Cassel like we do if he did not sit for years behind Brady? I think they sit with what they have at QB ... plus the drop-off in QB's cannot be fully determined with the inconsistencies of drafting the position.
- OT -- A very deep position in this draft, where the drop-off is almost negligible from rounds one and two. Unless looking for a book-end left tackle, any team can find a quality starting tackle [specifically a strong right tackle] in the second round. This is where the Niners need to be focused. Although it is not popular that the Niners have not signed an OT, Phil Loadholt seems to be a perfect fit for the supposed "run-heavy" Niners, and will be around for pick 43. Enough said, Singletary and McCloughan should be writing this draft card today.
- WR -- While it remains a position of need for the Niners, Josh Morgan and Jason Hill are emerging, and Brandon Jones makes me comfortable enough for now. If the Niners were to add a player, it should be a big-body or someone proven (the anti-thesis of Maclin, Harvin, Heyward-Bey, etc.). I don't trust Nicks' separation ability for the next level, so if Crabtree were to fall, I think it's a no-brainer, but I don't see that happening. I think we can forget WR for the Niners in round 1. Once again, with QB also, it is an unpredictable position to draft, (Morgan a 6th, Hill a 3rd, Bryant Johnson a 1st).
- SAM -- The Niners need an imposing force on defense, someone who strikes fear in opposing QBs. While Willis is amazing, he is not a rush 'backer who can get into the QB's head. Orakpo would be the perfect fit, but it is looking like he will not be available for the Niners at 10. For this reason, I think the Niners bite the bullet a bit and go with Everette Brown, who will need to add weight. Maybin showed he needs to play at 235, not 255, 265 like necessary for a SAM. So Orakpo or Brown look like the candidates. I think decent options can be found later, but the Niners need their version of Merriman/Suggs who not only gets sacks, but alters gameplans. Orakpo is this player, and hopefully Brown will be. If the Niners do not go with a rush OLB in the first round, I have to think it will only be because someone unexpected falls to them in the first round, [see Crabtree, Raji, Monroe].
So, the Niners go Orakpo/Brown in 1st and Loadholt in 2nd. Sounds like a quality draft to me ... fairly easy on the cap too.
Mike Sando: Great stuff, Brian. You have done the heavy lifting here. Not much more for me to say, other than to keep it coming. I agree that the 10th overall choice is too high for targeting a right tackle. The team should probably focus on a linebacker with pass-rush ability in that spot. And if someone falls to them unexpectedly, reconsider.
Seahawks free-agency update: 20-day mark
Six unrestricted free agents have left the Seahawks to sign elsewhere. No team has watched more of its UFAs sign elsewhere this offseason.
All six former Seahawks qualify as either starters, part-time starters or experienced backups.
Three of the six were Mike Holmgren draft choices (Maurice Morris, Rocky Bernard, Floyd Womack). A fourth, Bobby Engram, might have had stronger ties to Holmgren than any of them.
Consider it a natural progression as a mostly new coaching staff changes schemes and adjusts personnel on both sides of the ball.
The Seahawks did re-sign Ray Willis and D.D. Lewis. It's unclear whether they will re-sign fullback Leonard Weaver.
Updating Seattle's free agents minus Womack
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Floyd Womack's departure to the Browns following eight seasons with the Seahawks marks the fourth time an unrestricted free agent has left Seattle this offseason.
Running back Maurice Morris and defensive tackles Howard Green and Rocky Bernard also departed.
The Seahawks did not push to retain them. The team made retaining linebacker Leroy Hill its top priority, using the franchise tag to keep him off the market. Re-signing tackle Ray Willis was a secondary priority.
Receiver Bobby Engram a
nd fullback Leonard Weaver stand as the highest-profile Seattle players yet to re-sign, but the Seahawks appear unlikely to invest much in retaining any of their remaining unrestricted free agents.
Seahawks UFA re-signed: Willis.
Seahawks UFA lost: Womack, Green, Bernard and Morris.
Seahawks UFA added: T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR, Bengals; Colin Cole, DT, Packers; John Owens, TE, Lions.
Restricted free agents: None.
Free-agency comings and goings: Visits tracked
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Tracking free-agent visits can become a part-time job during the initial rush of free agency. Now that things have settled, I've put together an unofficial list showing where NFC West free agents have visited and which players the division's teams have visited with.
These visits fall into four basic categories:

What Do You Do When You Realize You Are Not Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
What Do You Do When You Realize You Are Not Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
Reader question: Are twins are tested/evaluated separately or together as part of the admissions process?
Anne Simon, Beyond The Brochure Co-Author and former head of Wildwood Elementary School, answers the question:
Answer: If the school has a one-on-one or paper and pencil assessment, of course the twins will be evaluated separately. If they are observed in a playgroup situation, an interesting question arises.
There will probably be more than one group time for these playgroups. There are usually too many children to have one playgroup for observation of applicants. Several groups are usually formed at different times for these kinds of assessments. This would offer an opportunity for twins to be in separate groups.
Teachers and administrators often circulate and observe children at play, taking notes on how they see the potential students: how do they separate from parents; what activities are they drawn to; how do they interact with materials and equipment available; how do they get along with other children; do they prefer individual or group activities; are they joiners or leaders? There will probably also be stations with more 'academic' projects where teachers will work individually with applicants to assess their prior knowledge.
If the twins are headed into separate classrooms, it makes sense to have them in separate observation groups. If there is only on grade per class and they will be together if admitted, then I expect the school will want to see them together. It is generally the school's call, but parents certainly should have a voice in the matter.
What is important is for each child to have a chance to show who he/she is in the best light, but also one that is realistic and replicates the setting the child will find if entering the school. Remember that the goal of the admissions process is to put together a balanced group of students who will work and play together over time.
There's been a lot written lately about extreme parenting. I'm not talking about the home schooling, pioneer garb wearing, technology shunning extreme, I'm talking about extreme (disguised as concerned) that's sinking into the general culture, indeed even into the private school culture.
Take, for instance, the idea of attachment parenting. That's when you have the baby and instantly strap it to you in a sling, feed it on demand, and share every moment with it. In other words, you're a prisoner of your infant. While I can see how this constant supervision might work in, say, a tribe or multi-generational household (in which adults trade off the necessary responsibility of a baby), it seems enormously impractical in modern life. As Erica Jong wrote recently in an article called "Mother Madness" in the Wall Street Journal: "…How you do this (attachment parenting) and earn the money to keep her is rarely discussed." Not to mention how you keep your sanity.
You know what the natural offshoot of attachment parenting is? The helicopter parent. The constant control, extreme attentiveness, and obsessive care bordering on fatal neurosis are all reminiscent of attachment parenting. Children are treated like delicate hothouse orchids that must be tended round the clock lest they keel over (or perhaps escape). These are parents who plan every minute and activity for their children and never let them do anything alone.
Sometimes I get the feeling that some of the kids in Anna's class have never been separated from their parents. This spring, there's an overnight field trip to Sacramento planned, in order to learn about state government (these kids have spent plenty of time on the 405; now it's time to learn about the other gridlock). When it was first mentioned at a parents' night, parents were informed that, if they wanted to go on the Sacramento trip, they must first volunteer for two regular field trips. I was mystified. Was this a way to deter parents from volunteering? Because I knew one thing for sure: I had NO interest in going to Sacramento for an overnight with a bunch of kids.
I was wrong, of course. It wasn't a deterrent; just a way to ensure that they had parents for the regular field trips, too. Because, you see, it turns out I'm in the minority. What I view as an opportunity for an adult evening, (while my child is in the best possible hands) is viewed by helicopter parents as an unacceptable lack of control. There are plenty of parents clamoring for the opportunity to chaperone an out of town overnight. Plenty.
The really funny thing about these private school helicopter parents is that private school, for the most part, makes helicoptering redundant. Private schools try to anticipate students' needs. The institutions are nurturing and attentive. Expectations and requirements are clearly indicated, and performance is rewarded. In the private school sphere, the helicopter parent is a mere annoyance: a pesky mosquito instead of a diligently patrolling machine.
At my daughter's school, this dynamic is particularly obvious. Mirman is extremely child focused. While the school might want my money for annual giving or my time for volunteer work, it really doesn't want to hear from me otherwise. Much of the time, when dealing with the teaching staff, I feel gently humored. Sure, my kid might be bright, but who's to say I'm not a blithering idiot. And don't think I resent the school's attitude; I actually appreciate and applaud it. Because let's face it: I'm not qualified to educate my child, and I probably shouldn't be allowed to weigh in on it that often. That's what the school gets paid to do.
As I watch these parents circle their children, examine their every expression, scrutinize their friendships and monitor their meals, I think about my daughter's choice (and thus the choice of many of her friends) of reading material. Books like Harry Potter, The Time Trilogy, The Narnia Chronicles, The Hunger Games, Rick Riordan novels, His Dark Materials, and many others all have parents who are dead, absent, distracted, or simply not of any real importance to the plot. The child protagonists in these books survive by their wits and ingenuity, not by depending on adults. This is what kids crave. And this is what their helicopter parents, who want to give them everything, will never give them.

There seems to be an endless fascination on the part of us private elementary school types about feeder schools to Harvard-Westlake. Understandable, right? Unclear. The chatter continues…including at a boisterous and fun dinner party at my house last night (eight adults and eight kids). A few of the guests were very "in-the-know" about all things Harvard-Westlake.
Well, it happened. Despite my best intentions, bending over backwards, doing flips and dips and driving in the right lane, I have been booted from my private school carpool.
I'm not alone. Another family got the "goodbye" call as well. The reason? One child cannot handle being with so many other children. Plus, probably a plethora of private school politics I cannot possibly fathom. Sometimes, you're just not one another's kind of people. Anyway, the "don't mess with the carpool" statement I made in my first carpool post has been undone: someone messed with the carpool.
So, we will all suck it up. Form a new carpool. A better carpool, damn it. And, in honor of that, I've adapted a popular twelve step program's Twelve Traditions as the new carpool's parameters. This is not meant as blasphemy. I just figure, if these Traditions could hold a sprawling, self-regulated organization in such good stead, they'd more than do for my measly little carpool.
The Twelve Traditions of Carpool (by Jenny)
Our common welfare shall come first; personal transportation depends upon carpool unity.
For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—the driver.
The only requirement for carpool membership is the desire to stop driving… daily.
The carpool should be autonomous.
The carpool has but one primary purpose—to drive the children to school.
The carpool ought never endorse, finance, or lend the carpool identity to any other carpool.
Every carpool ought to be fully self-driving and insured.
The carpool should remain forever nonprofessional, but we might employ special drivers in emergencies.
The carpool, as such, ought be organized only through cell phone and email.
The carpool has no opinion on outside issues. Unless it involves sirens.
The carpool's public relations strategy is based on attraction and neighborhood convenience within a ten block radius, rather than promotion.
Safe driving and a clean car is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions; ever reminding us to place principles before our children's personalities.

How Spain's Juan Carlos fell from grace
tags: Telegraph (UK), Juan Carlos, Spain, Spanish monarchy...It has been a year that has seen the popularity of King Juan Carlos plummet to unprecedented depths - to the point that even die-hard "JuanCarlistas", as his supporters are known, are now openly discussing the need for abdication in favour of his heir, Prince Felipe....
The King, long extolled for his role in bringing democracy to Spain following the death of dictator Francisco Franco, had for decades enjoyed the sort of respect and privacy from the press that would have been the envy of his British relatives, the Windsors.
The King's playboy reputation and love of expensive pursuits including fast cars and sailing were tolerated even with an annual bill of around 9 million euros to the taxpayer.
But a turning point in his popularity came last April when it emerged - after a nocturnal accident that left him with a broken hip - that he had been enjoying a luxury safari in Botswana hunting elephants....

Royal Bafokeng Holdings Ltd., which manages the holdings of the 300,000-strong Bafokeng community, may invest in the oil and gas industry in Africa as it expands investments beyond South Africa, the Sunday Times reported.
Royal Bafokeng will sell some of its smaller holdings and use the revenue to purchase stakes in projects outside South Africa, the Johannesburg-based newspaper said, citing Chief Executive Officer Niall Carroll. Assets under management rose to 35 billion rand ($4.7 billion) this year from 8 billion rand in 2006, the newspaper said.
