Potential Measures for Improving the Identification of Root Causes for Hazardous Materials Crashes 97
izes the hazmat information system, including driver characteristics (e.g., age and experience);
hazmat package characteristics (e.g., tank type and age); and vehicle characteristics, carrier char-
acteristics, and mileage traveled. With this information, an analyst can mine a dataset and search
for the common contributing causes of various classes of hazmat accidents. For example, with-
out information on the number of hazmat truck drivers in various age and experience categories,
it is impossible to determine those age and experience categories that are over-represented in
hazmat accidents.
Note that this kind of analysis is appropriate to identify coarse-grained factors that increase
risk. For example, the result could be used to determine that older or younger drivers are at
higher risk. This should be used with stable characteristics, such as age, vehicle type, and road
type, but cannot be used to identify specific errors or transitory conditions that generated a crash,
such as a distracted driver or tire failure.
Currently, PHMSA is completing Phase I of the Multi Modal Hazmat Intelligence Portal
(HIP) system. The system is being designed to acquire hazmat information at a single location.
Under HIP, data from FAA, FMCSA, NTSB, the Coast Guard, and PHMSA will be available by
carrier, shipper, manufacturer, and packaging company. Only parts of the system, which is being
designed for the enforcement staff, will be available to the public. Although FMCSA is supply-
ing cargo tank and hazmat compliance reviews as well as inspection results, sharing hazmat
crashes in the MCMIS database is not yet part of the system and PHMSA has no immediate plan
to incorporate this information into HIP. The incorporation of crash files in the future could
enhance system capability.
5.2.2 Availability of Carrier Characteristics Inventory Information
for Analysis with Accident Data
FMCSA maintains both the MCMIS Census and Crash files. The MCMIS Census file contains
inventory information that, if routinely updated and validated, could be useful for identifying
which motor carrier characteristics are over-represented in hazmat crashes. A study that made
such comparisons for a targeted group of 100 accidents over a one-year period might identify
changes to the type of inventory information that should be collected. As a result, a program could
be initiated requiring that the new information be obtained when existing carriers re-register and
new carriers register for the first time.
PHMSA has an annual hazmat carrier registration requirement. These data also could be
used to determine which carrier characteristics are being over-represented in hazmat crashes.
It is likely that additional information would be required on the vehicle configuration, pack-
aging, and driver if one wished to determine whether these characteristics are being over-
represented in hazmat accidents. Clearly, changes to the data elements in the current HMIRS
and Hazmat Registration file would be required to capture more than carrier inventory data.
Note that although privacy issues arise when a driver's name is tied to age, experience, phys-
ical condition, or the extent of injuries, there is no privacy issue if the driver's name, license
number, or Social Security number is not associated with the physical characteristics of
the driver. Packaging could be handled in a similar fashion, without disclosing any business-
sensitive information.
5.2.3 Add or Modify Inventory Data in Databases
This subsection includes specific potential measures for adding inventory data to the system
in key locations such as in the major incident databases or supplemental databases such as
PHMSA Registration Database or MCMIS Census file.

text: Apr 20, 2013 00:25 Southern draws Gonzaga in NCAA opener Southern draws Gonzaga in NCAA opener Advocate staff photo by PATRICK DENNIS -- Southern basketball players Madut Bol, left, Damien Goodwin, center, and Brandon Moore cheer when their NCAA tournament seed was announced Sunday, March 17, 2013, at TJ Ribs in Baton Rouge. Southern lands No. 16 seed in NCAA tournament, 2nd-round matchup with top-ranked Gonzaga in Salt Lake City Scott Hotard| Advocate sportswriter April 20, 2013 Comments As the charter bus carrying the Southern men's basketball team headed back to Baton Rouge on Sunday, coach Roman Banks spent just about every minute of the seven-hour ride from Garland, Texas, replying to the text messages he received after leading the Jaguars to victory the day before. Banks said 561 text messages had collected in his cell phone. "If the only thing I said was thank you, I replied to all of them," he said. If the Jaguars win the next game they play, Banks may need days—- not hours — to acknowledge everyone who wants to congratulate him. A day after nipping Prairie View in the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament championship game, Southern learned Sunday that its opponent in the NCAA tournament will be Gonzaga, which finished the regular season ranked first in the Associated Press and USA Today coaches polls. As the No. 16 seed in the West Region, Southern (23-9) faces No. 1 seed Gonzaga (31-2) at approximately 3:10 p.m. Thursday at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City. Banks said he hadn't seen much of the Zags this season because his focus has been on winning the SWAC. He said that would all change in the next couple of days. "We'll try to come up with a plan that gives us a chance to win," he said. Gonzaga made a name for itself as a bracket-busting Cinderella in years past, but it has a top seed this year for the first time. The Bulldogs swept through the West Coast Conference tournament after going 16-0 in the league during the regular season. No team seeded 16th has beaten a No. 1 seed in the NCAA men's tournament. "We're going to go out there and do our best," senior point guard Jameel Grace said. "We're going to make everybody proud." The Jaguars had not had much time to celebrate Saturday's dramatic 45-44 victory to secure Southern's first trip to the Big Dance since 2006 and eighth overall. Their bus cruised straight from the parking lot of their Garland hotel Sunday morning to the parking lot of TJ Ribs, where players and coaches joined fans for a Selection Show party. Two years removed from the worst season in school history, Southern looks to build on a 2012-13 that included a 15-3 mark in SWAC play and an upset of Texas A&M to highlight a road-heavy nonconference schedule. Banks said the number of road games the Jaguars played early in the season may have helped them avoid a "First Four" play-in game. Southern had been projected by ESPN's Joe Lunardi as one of four No. 16 seeds that would begin the NCAA tournament in those games. "Our conference sometimes doesn't have the real high RPI and we get penalized, but I think (the selection committee) looked at the body of work," Banks said. "That's a testament to these guys going out on the road and playing." Southern's eighth trip to the tournament comes two years after Banks inherited a team that had suffered through three straight 20-loss seasons. The Jaguars surged from last in the SWAC to second last season but were unable to participate in the conference tournament because of an APR-related postseason ban. Banks, a Northwestern State alumnus who spent the early part of his coaching career as a Southern assistant, has helped restore pride at a school where he has family ties. Banks' father, Cleophus, played for SU in the 1960s. His brother, Carlos Sample, played for the Jaguars in the late 1980s and early '90s. Sample, now the Scotlandville High basketball coach, attended Sunday's watch party in Southern garb. Banks said he spoke to his father by phone Sunday morning. "Stay focused and work hard on the next one," Banks said he told him. "Anything is possible." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

"So...." said Twilight Sparkle, looking down, and dragging her forehoof across the "Welcome!" mat of the library, "I guess this is good night."
Caramel nervously looked away. "Yeah..." He picked up and put down his own right forehoof. "I, um..." The earth pony with the caramel cream coat and brown mane and tail hopefully looked up again.
Twilight stared straight into his eyes, her expression unreadable. Suddenly, he couldn't take it anymore. "Ienjoyedourdate, gotworkinthemorning, gottagetagoodnight'ssleep, goodnight!"
With that, he galloped away. Twilight sighed in relief, and wiped her brow. The book had said a good-night kiss was optional on the first date, and she had spent the last half of their date too nervous about it to properly converse.
Caramel slowed down after a few blocks, and panted, catching his breath and feeling shameful.
He had never run from anything before; his job at Mr. Meadow's five-pony smithy required steady hooves and iron nerves. In fact, his flank symbol was a group of horseshoes, symbolizing his courage. He had earned it on a school field trip to a big-city foundry. When the other colts and fillies had bolted from a startlingly loud noise, he didn't even jump. Yet...
Yet the thought of kissing Twilight Sparkle, the librarian unicorn from Canterlot, just took his breath away. She was so pretty, with her violet coat, purple hair, and deep beautiful eyes! He had no right to push himself on such... perfection.
The next day, while helping load a cart, Caramel was so deep in thought he nearly lost a hoof to a stray girder. He couldn't stop thinking about Twilight Sparkle. Next time, he promised himself, he would ask her out in a classy way, like a gentlepony. After all, she was high-class to a workhorse like him.
As the sun went down, he poured his heart out in a letter. He sealed the envelope, and went into the next room to fetch a stamp. On a cool Autumn evening like this, the small breeze that puffed through the room was refreshing, and such small gusts were the reason he kept his apartment windows open.
But when he returned with the stamp, the letter was gone.
He searched the apartment, then he searched the yard, but the envelope was nowhere to be found.
Despair grabbed his heart like a vice. The letter had his name at the bottom, and Twilight's at the top, and sandwiched between the two was every romantic thought that had ever crossed his mind, but the front of the envelope was as blank as a yearling's flank.
He started to panic, then he stopped. Caramel had to face this like a stallion, just like his job. He was a superior degater and sander; he could handle the loud noises and workplace emergencies of a smithy, and he could handle this.
So he walked to the library, on a path lit by the glow of Celestia's sunset and the rise of the sphere of the Night Princess.
At the door of the library, his nerve almost failed him. However, he could almost feel his flank symbol staring at him, judging him for losing his cool.
He knocked on the door.
Her dragon assistant answered. "Wha...? Library's closed, mister."
"I'm sorry for coming over so late," began Caramel, "But I need to speak with Miss Sparkle."
The little dragon's eyes bulged, and he tried to hide a sly grin. "I'll go get 'Miss Sparkle.'"
Caramel lowered his head as the door closed. This was a mistake. He knew it.
The wait seemed like a thousand years.
He thought he heard laughter, but it cut off before he could be certain. A door upstairs slammed. Then, the front door opened.
There she stood, her big violet eyes glistening in the moonlight. "Caramel. Good evening. This is a surprise."
"Miss Sparkle, I-"
"Call me Twilight, we've already been on one date. So, are you here to ask me something?" She stood there waiting to hear what he had to say.
"No, Twilight," said Caramel, "I've made a mistake, and I'm here to rectify it." Starting with the story of the letter and the gust of wind, he explained the series of events that had led him to her door. "So you see, what I wrote is out there for somepony to find, and I have no idea who will read it first. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"
Twilight Sparkle had gone from expectant to confused, to intrigued. Now, she was silent.
"Please?!?" he cried, his resolve breaking at last.
She nodded, smiling. "I forgive you, and I appreciate your honesty. But I've had an idea. Come in, I'll try to use a location trace spell to track where it went after you and it parted ways."
They stood on the balcony, Twilight concentrating as a vivid fuschia glow emanated from her horn. She grunted, then released the spell. "No good. It must be out of range.
Caramel's heart sank. "I'm so sorry, Twilight."
She put on a brave smile. "Well, if I hear any rumors, I'll know where they came from. And Ponyville has mostly decent folk. Whoever finds it will do the right thing, I imagine, and take it back to you with an apology for opening it."
He grinned, then turned to head downstairs. "I guess I should be going."
"Wait," said Twilight, and he stopped. "Since you came out here, and told me the truth, I was sort of hoping that you would stay. For a bit."
He turned to face her again, and he must have looked at her funny, because her eyes went wide. "Not the money kind of Bit! Not that you're a stud for hire!"
He felt the top of his nose blushing, and she put a hoof to her mouth. "Oh my goodness. Not that you wouldn't be a good one, or worth only a Bit, it's..." she trailed off.
Now her own nose was blushing, the bright flush clearly visible below the thin coat of hair there. (He had always wondered if purple mares' blushes showed, and a detached part of his mind confirmed that they did indeed.) "I, I..." she stammered, her eyes locked on his, her total and abject embarrassment clear by the way she was frowning in horror and about to cry.
He leaned forward, and touched his lips to hers. He didn't even know that he was kissing her until he was halfway done. He didn't know how to end it.
He didn't know how to breathe anymore. He was lost in her eyes, the way the evening stars shone in them out here on the balcony...
They broke the kiss. Their gaze didn't break. She smiled. He smiled.
It had felt like a thousand years.
"Wow," Caramel breathed out in ecstasy.
"And nopony knows where the craters came from," said Twilight, smiling as he continued to look through her telescope. "I was hoping to ask Luna at the Gala."
Caramel turned toward her, his eyes bugging out. "You know Princess Luna? Personally?"
"Oh," said Twilight, glancing to one side, "That's not common knowledge. Can I count on you to keep it a secret? Having the ears of the rulers can make a pony's social life complicated."
He gave a nervous laugh. "As long as I don't write it in a letter."
She smiled. "Yeah."
He turned back to the telescope, then back at her, another incredulous look on his face. "The Gala?!?"
Twilight thought for a moment, then her smile stopped being a smile. "Oh dear."
Ditzy Doo was flying through and through, with miles to go, when she saw something with left eye she did.
Toward the ground, to where she saw the envelope fluttering fluttering along, she stopped before the ground and stepped on the ground to make it stop moving.
Her brow wrinkled in frustration when white and no stamp or address was on the front. "Proper postage!" she exclaimed to nopony near her and nopony didn't answer her.
Now how was she supposed to see the inside of the letter, to see the inside without opening like she wasn't supposed to ever ever?

We anxiously await the day when we can finally go out and start our spring garden, and for many of us, it may be for the very first time. But no matter what your experience, there are a few essential things required of us all to have a productive and manageable garden. Although perfection should never be your goal, lest you'll be disappointed, start out right and you'll be well on your way to a bountiful garden.
Sun Power
First, find a sunny space! Vegetable and herb plants thrive in full sun. Shoot for a place where they'll receive about 8 hours a day of direct sun. Now, do you have to have this much? No, you don't, but the fewer hours of sun your plants are getting, the less productive the harvest, and it's all about the harvest, right? A southern exposure is best and if it seems like all you have is shade, look up. Perhaps you can remove some limbs of overhanging trees because that's a pretty common problem and a fairly easy fix as well. But anything you can do to add more light to your plants will pay big dividends as your plants grow. I even know people that plant in containers with a platform underneath with wheels or rollers. And throughout the day, they move their plants around to chase the sun. Now that may sound pretty extreme but it really can work if you have the ambition and time.
It's all About the Soil
Once you've identified the site, it's time to focus on the soil! Well-drained soil is critical for your plants to perform their best. Soil that stays too dry will stunt growth, stress plants, and adversely affect fruit production. On the other hand, soil that stays too wet will eventually rot the roots and prevent healthy growth. This is a common situation when we try to plant into straight soil, usually full of heavy clay. The answer for both cases is to amend the entire planting area with lots of rich organic matter, such as compost, aged manure, rotted leaves, worm castings and more.
And finally, don't over do it. It is so easy to want to have a big garden if you have the space, but I'd say to go a little conservative here, especially if it's your fist garden. But your vegetable and herb plants will grow so lush and full if your garden gets enough sun and you have rich, healthy soil. In fact, once your plants establish, they'll grow so fast, I don't want you to become overwhelmed. So the bottom line is don't over do it starting off. You can always make it bigger later.

Steelers staying grounded
Win in Cincinnati not enough to alter Steelers' perspective By Mike Prisuta TRIBUNE-REVIEW Tuesday, October 25, 2005 The Steelers did everything but talk a good game in Cincinnati. Postgame reaction to their 27-13 thumping of the Bengals on Sunday afternoon was muted, relative to what you'd expect from a team that had come to town determined to establish that the balance of power in the AFC North Division hadn't shifted just yet. There were a few "the road to the division championship still runs through Pittsburgh" acknowledgements in the visitor's locker room, but none were issued as in-your-face declarations. What was said mostly about the Bengals was "they're a good football team." It wasn't an accident. "We gotta stay on top of our game," safety Mike Logan said. "We can't get that over-confidence about us, and with the veteran leaders on this team, it won't happen." Wonder where that came from? "We know we have to bring our 'A' game every week," coach Bill Cowher said, as always. Apparently, Cowher has been in a few big games before, although he won't be in many more until January. The rest of the Steelers' schedule features games against two teams with winning records over the course of the final 10, at Indianapolis (7-0) on Nov.28 and the rematch with Cincinnati (5-2) on Dec. 4 at Heinz Field. As for the rest, Baltimore (2-4) and Cleveland (2-4) are division rivals, but they're out-classed, over-matched division rivals. Green Bay (1-5) and Minnesota (2-4) are brutal. Chicago (3-3) and Detroit (3-3) are .500 at present but appear incapable of much more than that, if they're able to even maintain a break-even pace (given the inept collection in the NFC North that's at least a possibility). That's a gauntlet of mediocrity compared to the Murderers' Row stretch of schedule the Steelers just exited (New England, at San Diego, Jacksonville and at Cincinnati). After splitting with what figured to be four of the five best teams on their schedule, the Steelers are in a comfortable position at 4-2. What they can't afford to become is comfortable, and the Steelers know it. If they practice what they preach, a final regular-season record of 13-3 isn't unrealistic. That may not be enough to earn the Steelers home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, but it should get them at least a No. 2 seed. But if they begin thinking too far ahead and become a little too impressed with the way they kept the first-place Bengals in their place and allow preparation to become affected, the Steelers are asking for trouble. The emotion and urgency the Steelers displayed in Cincinnati helped propel them to a 15-1 record a season ago. The same approach can yield similar results, but there remains a great deal of football to be played before those results can be achieved. Taking them for granted is about the only thing that can screw this up. |
Re: Steelers staying grounded
We will whoop the Colts, what is up with that article :) 14-2, I just hope the Colts can lose another one on the way . . . Gooo Pats! hehe
Re: Steelers staying grounded
Re: Steelers staying grounded
I say we'll finish 13-3 after only losing to the Colts.
That means we 'll get a bye, but we may have to play the Patsies again at home, in order to go back to Indy. That 'll be the test..............minds you being so one-dimentional (run only mentality) may eventually kill us. We saw what happened vs. NE when we were forced to pass. Deep down I think we can finally take the Patsies if it comes to that...........but we would have to go back to Indy, in all probability, and see our demise there. That team just looks too good right now. They can beat you every which way and they have the best player in the world. Manning's smarts are more important than his arm. :blah: |
Re: Steelers staying grounded
Point of interest...:coffee:
If you watched the way we used reverses/playaction/counters on the Bengals, then watche how Houston tied the score 14-14 on Indy with cut back runs, I think we need to take advantage of that new aggressive D in Indy and see if they can stay disciplined against the run. And with Cincy, our key to defense is our offense keeping Indy's offense off the field. |
Re: Steelers staying grounded
Re: Steelers staying grounded
Yep thats our key..control the clock, wear out their smaller defensive front 7...and keep Peyton and Co. on the bench !
Re: Steelers staying grounded
indy struggled last year against teams that use the 3-4 (jax, houston, patriots) the key in beating manning is breaking down his protection. steelers should be able to do that.
Re: Steelers staying grounded
you also just cant sit back and wait for him to pick u apart.. the teams that pressure him like tony mentioned... got his face, jammed the WR's at the line and played physical w/ them are the ones that can win.

You must stop topping crape myrtles
Dear Neil: You have repeatedly said that we should never "top" our crape myrtles. We planted 10 crape myrtles three years ago, and they never did much. Since all our neighbors around us were topping their plants, we decided to try it with ours. They still haven't bloomed or even grown very well. What should we do to get more flowers?
A: You're correct, I'm trying, with all my energy and each of my breaths, to convince people that topping is the quickest possible way to ruin crape myrtles permanently. The scars never disappear — forever, there are telltale crooks or knuckles in their trunks for the five months that they're bare every winter. Topping does not encourage more flowering. What it does do is stimulate vigorous vegetative regrowth, which results in very large flower heads that cannot be supported by the fresh and supple stems. The best possible way to salvage topped crape myrtles is to cut them completely to the ground and allow new and straight shoots to develop. You can then retrain the plants into the forms they should have had. To your specific question, the ways you encourage better blooming with crape myrtles are (a) by adding nitrogen fertilizer and (b) by watering faithfully. They produce their flower buds on new growth, and the nitrogen and moisture are the best ways to promote it.
General note to many: Every week, I am probably asked 10 or 15 times what type of grass will grow in the shade. Trees grow larger, shade grows heavier, and grass thins and dies. This week's email and regular mail brought four more of these inquiries. So, to all who ask or might ask it, you need to know that St. Augustine is Texas' most shade-tolerant turfgrass, but even it requires 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily just to hold its own, 6 to 8 if you want it to grow and cover. You're wasting time and money if you keep trying to resod the area, and you're really spinning your wheels if you try quack products that claim they can help you grow grass in heavy shade. It's not about nutrients, microbes or anything other than light. Grass won't grow in heavy shade, which is exactly why AstroTurf was developed 50 years ago. You need to switch to a shade-tolerant groundcover such as mondograss ("monkeygrass"), purple wintercreeper euonymus, Asian jasmine, liriope or English ivy. I've planted literally thousands of mondograss clumps beneath my trees. Its big advantage to the others is that it has no runners, so leaves are easy to blow out of it in fall. You can also dig and divide it, to cut the costs of getting it started.
Dear Neil: I have a fruitless pear. This past summer, the leaves all dried up and fell off, then new leaves were produced. They have now fallen off. We have tried to water it, and we don't want to lose it. Any suggestions?
A: It really sounds like drought damage. Cotton root rot does impact pears that are growing in alkaline soils, but typically, leaves of pears afflicted by it die in place and do not fall normally. While it's probably one of those two causes or the other, it's hard to be sure without actually seeing the tree.
Dear Neil: Last year, I sent you a sample of a plant that came up volunteer. You said the sample was too dry, so I have enclosed a photo of the leaves and the flower. How should I care for it?
A: This is Fatsia japonica. Most of us simply use the name fatsia for it. The fact that it's blooming is uncommon, but not unheard of. In fact, if you ever see English ivy high up in trees, watch it during winter and very early spring. Often it, too, will put up this type of flower spray. The two plants are closely related. Both need ample and uniform moisture and shade from hot, afternoon sun. For the record, I don't know that I've ever seen a fatsia that has come up from seed as a volunteer in a landscape. That's cool.
If you'd like Neil's help with your plant question, drop him a note to Gardener's Mailbag, PO Box 864, McKinney, TX 75070 or email your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Based on 1642 reviews |
U.S. News Review
The Kahala Hotel & Resort — located a few miles from Diamond Head on the coast of the posh Kahala neighborhood — has played host to a long list of ritzy clients. Even lovebirds Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton came to stay at this Honolulu landmark after their marriage in 1964. So naturally, the rooms are fairly posh, featuring teak parquet floors, mahogany furnishings and grass-cloth covered walls. Previous guests especially like the deep soaking tubs and the private balconies or patios that come attached to every room. While you're here, take a break from the Honolulu hustle and bustle with a massage at The Kahala Spa, or simply kick back and relax in one of the cozy cabanas that line the pool. The hotel also boasts an 800-foot stretch of beautiful white sand beach, so you won't have to worry about fighting crowds for a spot on the shore. While you're here, recent visitors highly recommend taking advantage of Dolphin Quest: The Kahala grounds encompass a 26,000-square-foot lagoon where guests can swim with bottlenose dolphins. Afterward, enjoy a gourmet meal at one of the hotel's two restaurants.

MCMINNVILLE, Ore. (AP) - An unsuspecting Oregon couple's ascendance to YouTube stardom happened by accident.
Grandparents Esther and Bruce Huffman unwittingly pressed "record" on their new laptop's web camera in mid-August.
The resulting video, recorded without their knowledge, captures them goofing around, worrying about wrinkles in their faces and questioning whether the camera is working.
The couple's granddaughter asked permission to post the video online, where it has racked up more than 2 million hits on YouTube
by Thursday.

Five excuses we'll hear
Updated: April 10, 2012, 11:05 AM ET
Scott Burnside | ESPN.com
1. "They didn't have to travel as much as we did."
While we know it's hard for ordinary folk to get their heads around the rigors of traveling on a luxurious charter aircraft, it is a drag. Ask the Detroit Red Wings, who have made a habit of repeatedly winging back and forth to the West Coast the last few springs, what it takes out of them, especially compared to the relatively easy travel gig the Eastern Conference teams enjoy.
Five Things For Postseason
• Five Conn Smythe candidates
• Five storylines to watch
• Five playoff traditions
• Five injuries with most impact
• Five rookies to watch
• Five top in-season acquisitions
• Five unlikely heroes
• Five players under most pressure
• Five excuses we'll hear
• Five goalies on hot seat
• Five best home-ice advantages
• Five players we'd love to see win
2. "The ice was terrible."
This usually comes up when a skill team gets outworked by a less skillful team. Guess what? Two teams, one ice. Enough said.3. "There were some terrible calls out there."
Outside of Rangers coach John Tortorella, who broke the mold at the Winter Classic by complaining about the refereeing after winning in Philadelphia, complaints about the men in the striped shirts invariably happens when a team feels that it has either been unduly persecuted with too many penalties or given the short end of the stick when, in their eyes, their opponent gets away with flagrant fouls. Either way, it's a tired story that usually comes when a team is about to slide into the abyss.4. "We came out flat."
This is always offered up after a team gets buried early in a game, although one wonders how, with so much at stake, any team can fail to muster the emotional level needed to start a playoff game. Guess it sounds better than "we stunk" or "we partied too much last night."5. "We had a lot of injuries."
And yes, injuries are valid points when dissecting losses, although it's funny how no one ever comes out and says, "Gee, were we lucky to win with all the injuries we've had." Similarly, using an injury as an excuse is considered bad form, even if it's accurate.- Hockey writer for ESPN.com

Riot, make this a champion
Gash is prone to dangerous living both on the battlefield and in society. He constantly pushes the boundaries, testing the will and patience of everyone he meets. Loved by few and hated by many, he is glad to put his back against a wall and challenge the world. Despite making himself a target for his enemies in combat, the biggest mistake he made- stubborn as he is to admit it- was to speak his mind (loudly, as usual) to the wrong noble at the wrong time. Before he knew it, he was arranged to be removed from society. Luckily for him a much more subtle proponent of the same ideals was also at court and favored the 'Ugly Duckling'. Gash hasn't grown quieter, but his anonymous benefactor has managed to convince Gash to speak his mind (loudly) at the right time. Gash loves combat and makes use of bold (extremely dangerous) manuevers that are very powerful, but have the potential to backfire on him if the enemy makes the right move at the right time. Gash uses blade-tipped nunchuks to strike for his basic attacks, which are melee. Passive: "Fight the Power". Gash's Physical and Magic Penetration are increased by 0.25 for every 1% of the target's current health. Q: "Fly Headlong". 50 mana. Gash gets a 25% speed boost for 3 seconds and rushes at his target, ready to deal double damage with his next basic attack. If Gash is struck by a basic attack, however, he is stunned for 2 seconds. (6 second cooldown after use). W: "Like Water" 100 mana. Activated ability. Gash blocks any basic attack attempted on him for the next 3 seconds but deals only 10% of his attack damage in an area around him. If an enemy champion's basic attack is blocked this way, Gash gains an additional 10% of his attack damage each second in an area around him and the effect is renewed for another 3 seconds. Ends immediately if another ability is activated." (20 second cooldown). E: "Duck Hunt". Activated ability (costs 1% of your maximum health). In an extremely wide radius, all enemy champions are taunted for 2 seconds, but Gash takes double damage during this time and cannot move, teleport, flash, or recall. Ends immediately if another ability is activated. (25 second cooldown). R: "Duck and Cover". 250 mana. Gash channels, drawing in energy for 5 seconds before he rolls, whirls, jumps and otherwise propels himself into the enemy, sending feathers flying everywhere to obscure vision (for opponents) in a very large area as he bounces from opponent to opponent, hitting each opponent in range twice before his spree of attacks end. While channeling, Gash's armor and resist are reduced by 50%. (70 second cooldown) May I have 1% of the money from sales of this champion?

In China, a new era of Web censorship looms
It is a startling crackdown, even in a country infamous for censoring Internet content.
Days after the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square disaster, the New York Times is reporting that the Chinese government will soon force manufacturers across the country to install filtering software on all new PCs. The software, which is designed to block pornography and other "unhealthy" content, could be used to create a database, or black list, of banned sites.
The Wall Street Journal, which originally broke the story over the weekend, is reporting that Green Dam, as the software is known, is ostensibly aimed at "protecting young people from 'harmful' content." (The WSJ piece is subscription only.) But there are widespread concerns that the Chinese government will use the program to bar access to politically objectionable content.
"This is a very bad thing. It's like downloading spyware onto your computer, but the government is the spy," Charles Mok, chairman of the Internet Society, told the Times.

I hadn't seen this anywhere else, and don't remember seeing any links to it from any Pats website either, so although it's a bit dated, I'll post it here. Hopefully it's not a repeat. It's an interview of BB with Rich Eisen. According to Allthingsbillbelichick, a full video is available at Patriots.com, which I'll probably check out later. http://www.allthingsbillbelichick.com/transcripts/2006/06apr29nflnet.htm
"Mayock: You've been snakebit a little bit with the cornerback position the last couple years—your safeties and a little bit with the linebackers—with injuries. Are you happy with what you did in the offseason? What do you have to do to become a better team in that back seven or back eight? Belichick: Well, I think there are a lot of things we can do better. Let's start with the coaching. Maybe I can coach a little better; I think that'll help us out more than anything. But we can use depth at every position on the football team, so whenever we get an opportunity to add players that we feel like can contribute to our system that's what we'll do. But that pretty much goes across the board." This is why BB is so good. He always takes responsibility for his football team and points the finger at himself first. He's always trying to improve.
I agree Smg. In this day and age leaders very rarely take responsibility when something bad happens, so it's great to hear him say it. But do you think his comments might also be a little dig at Mangini? There was quite a bit of criticisim of his conservative play calling.
I don't ever recall BB criticizing Mangini's playcalling, and don't think BB would take shots at Mangini because NEM didn't like Mangini's playcalling. I don't see any way the interview response can be construed as anything but BB talking about himself. I would be extremely disappointed if BB did as you are suggesting, which would be transferring his own blame onto someone else. BB is the head coach. If he didn't like Mangini's play callling, but let it go on all seasonwith saying anything, then the problem would not be Mangini, it would be BB.
I assumed that any conservative playcalling was because we were siging people on Tuesday and playing them Sunday. If it took Vrable a year to get confortable, how would Hawkins be up to it in 3 weeks? Pointing the finger at himself is a good way to take heat off the players (as Francona does), but let's face it, it is easy for BB to do this with his track record and because no one really believes it.
I think it was kind of funny for the announcer to say he passed on Chad Jackson when Santonio Holmes was clearly supposedly the number 1 WR this year. Maybe these guys know a bit more than they lead on.
But great, if this interview was after pick #1 (it looks like it.) Because we passed on Gator-Aid, and then got him anyway.
More people than NEM were critical of Mangini. I don't think BB would transfer blame, he's ultimately responsible for what plays get called. But the play calling did loosen up towards the end of the season. I think it was Willie McGinest who was quoted directly about the changes.

Deep-Value Investors, Take a Vacation
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's vacation season. After all, Congress is on the cusp of a "much deserved" (note the sarcasm) summer recess, and won't return until early September. In all honesty, I wish they take more time off; one or two months in session per year would be more than enough.
It's also probably a great time for deep-value investors to take some time off. The pickings have become so slim in value land, that it's time to take a rest. Put down that stack of 10K's you've been perusing, turn off the financial channel you've been watching, and head for the beach. Clear your mind for now, and re-start your search for value after some much needed rest.
I'm not suggesting that the markets are so over-heated that we should expect a major correction any day. But I am finding so little in the way of value these days that either the game has changed, or we've entered frothy territory. I don't believe that the game has changed.
One of my favorite deep-value searches, for companies trading below net current asset value, originally developed by Ben Graham, reveals the fewest number of qualifying companies that I've ever seen in my umpteen years of utilizing this methodology. There's just one net/net with a market cap in excess of $100 million, Trans World Entertainment (TWMC - Get Report) , and five with market caps greater than $50 million. The cupboard is all but bare here. It will take a market pullback to re-stock the shelves. While I'm not hoping for that to happen, it ultimately will.
TWMC data by YChartsAnother Ben Graham-related search, based on his "Stock Selection Criteria for the Defensive Investor," is revealing very little these days. This screen is a bit more involved than the net/net search described above, and utilizes the following criteria:
Adequate size: Minimum sales of $500 million on a trailing 12-month basis. (Graham called for minimum sales of $100 million and total assets of at least $50 million.)
Strong financial condition: The company must have a current ratio -- current assets divided by current liabilities -- of at least 2, and long-term debt must be less than working capital.
Earnings stability: The company must have positive earnings for the past seven years (Graham used a minimum of 10 years).
Dividend record: The company must have paid a dividend for the past seven years (Graham used 20 years).
Earnings growth: Growth must be at least 3% compounded annually over the past seven years (Graham used a minimum increase in earnings per share of one-third over the past 10 years).
Moderate price-to-earnings ratio: The stock must have traded at an average P/E of 15 or less in the past three years.
Moderate ratio of price to assets: The price-to-earnings ratio times the price-to-book ratio must be less than 22.5.
