46 CFR Part 160, Subpart 160.013 - Hatchets (Lifeboat and Liferaft) for Merchant Vessels
Title 46 published on 2013-10-01
The following are only the Rules published in the Federal Register after the published date of Title 46.
For a complete list of all Rules, Proposed Rules, and Notices view the Rulemaking tab.
Title 46 published on 2013-10-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 46 CFR 160 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-17653 RIN 1625-AB46 Docket No. USCG-2010-0048 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, Coast Guard Final rule. This final rule is effective August 29, 2014. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register on August 29, 2014. 46 CFR Parts 108, 117, 133, 160, 164, 180, and 199 This rule finalizes the amendments to Coast Guard regulations for certain lifesaving equipment, including launching appliances (winches and davits), release mechanisms, survival craft (lifeboats, inflatable liferafts, and inflatable buoyant apparatus), rescue boats, and automatic disengaging devices, which were published as an interim rule and amended by a second interim rule. Additionally, it finalizes the amendments to the requirements for Coast Guard-approved release mechanisms proposed in a supplementary notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM). This final rule harmonizes the Coast Guard's design, construction, and performance standards for this lifesaving equipment with international standards, while providing for the use of qualified independent laboratories, instead of Coast Guard inspectors, during the approval process and for production inspections of certain types of lifesaving equipment.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-29863 RIN 1625-AB59 Docket No. USCG-2012-0196 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, Coast Guard Notice of proposed rulemaking. Comments and related material must either be submitted to our online docket via http://www.regulations.gov on or before April 14, 2014 or reach the Docket Management Facility by that date. 33 CFR Parts 140, 145, 148, and 149 The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations for certain design and approval standards for fire protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment on inspected and uninspected vessels, outer continental shelf facilities, deepwater ports, and mobile offshore drilling units. The proposed amendments would harmonize Coast Guard regulations with appropriate national and international consensus standards; address advances in fire protection technologies and standards; update Coast Guard approval processes for fire detection and alarm systems; and revise Coast Guard regulations for other types of equipment or components, such as spanner wrenches, non-metallic pipes, and sprinkler systems. These proposed changes are necessary to ensure Coast Guard regulations remain current and address advances in technology.

What do you think of the
Giordana Trade Mid Cuff Socks
? Share a...
Debbie C
They Work
Giordana, really don't need to say much more!
Very comfortable socks for long, hot summer rides. But better than these are the FR-C socks (I have the ladies), and Gore's XENON socks,of all things! You have to try them, they're every bit as good as the FR-C socks, and more. You'll have to get them direct at this time.
Debbie C
Got the ladies version in some great colors, but they didn't have a black & red offering, which most of my bike wear is black & red, or purple & white.
These fit just fine; stay in place; breathe very well; and look cool!
May try the shorter version, but my past experience is that the really short cuff socks tend to end up scrunched up in your shoe...I'll wait for others to try/review them, first!
Debbie C
Fits Ladies, too!
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Great, breezy socks. Doesn't really look like 'guy' socks, either, because they're not too high. Like that they also happen to match up with the "Laser" top, and shorts I just got (nice plus).
I also wear a U.S. size 7.5 ladies' shoe and the size small works perfectly.
Even though white is a bit cooler to wear for summer, I had a 'slight mishap' where my white ladies' G. Trade (short cuff) got stained...too bad, but still wearable (the way I see it is,anyone that has a @#!* problem with them can...) You know...buy me a new pair!!!
Great socks for hot rides
I'm a female and bought these socks in small (I"m a size 7.5) and they fit perfectly. Great sock for hot rides.
Jenny Mitton
These socks are perfect and I have ordered them time and time again. They are comfortable and allow your feet to breathe while riding.

2006-02-08 11:53 :
2.0.45 released. As well as --tocue, --tocuen and --tocuea, I have now added the --paranoid switch which will cause warnings and non-critical errors to return a non-zero return code, so that this can be picked up in a script. Thanks to R Hannes Beinert for the suggestion and patch. 2005-12-08 13:24 : 2.0.45b9: Added code to fix memory leak. Report and code kindly provided by Steve Vibert. 2005-12-08 13:24 : 2.0.45b8: Added --tocue, --tocuen and --tocuea. libVorbis 1.1.2 & libOgg 1.1.3. 2005-04-21 22:00 BST: If you downloaded Tag 2.0.43 before 19:30 BST you may want to download it again. See this post for more info. 2005-04-21: QUOTE (Compact Dick @ Feb 9 2005, 02:40 AM) a small bug report for 2.0.42. View APE 3.98 and higher files' tags and the details field is incorrect, for example: "Details: 24 Hz, playtime 42274:53:30". The 24 Hz part is always constant. Version 2.0.43 has been uploaded. v3.98+ APE files are now detailed correctly. Also, the 10KB limit when using the -f switch has been removed. Update: wapet has also been updated now, so that the 10KB limit no longer applies. wapet 0.5 available here. 2005-02-07: I thought I may as well record on forum that I have updated Case's Tag with libFLAC 1.1.2. You can get it here. It now uses libFLAC 1.1.2, libOgg 1.1.2 and libVorbis 1.1.0 - all the most recent releases. I see from the FLAC changelog that there have been some changes relevant to VORBIS tagging, so I thought I may as well. Original Post: This topic explains the history of this amendment EAC+MAC+TAG+PAR2 There is a little information, and all the downloads here: http://synthetic-soul.co.uk/tag/ I hope someone else finds this useful as well. wapet is also now available, with the additional -f switch.

The Grooming Center
The grooming center should not be thought of as just the bathroom sink or the lavatory. While a water source and basin are critical components, many activities occur in this center and it should be designed to accommodate as many client desires as the space and budget permit. The following recommendations are excerpted from the book "Bath Planning," part of the NKBA Professional Resource Library.
To plan the Grooming Center effectively, it is important to review the anthropometric measurements of the user. In the past, the dimensions of standard fixtures and cabinets have often determined this space, but working with individual clients, you should plan for the needs of the users.
Floor Clearance
The amount of space the human body requires to use the lavatory includes room to stand or sit in front of it. Anthropometric data indicates that about 18 inches of floor space is required to stand and face the lavatory. It is also important to be able to bend at a comfortable angle when washing hands or face.
While 18 inches may allow some people to stand, it does not account for the movement of the standing user that might take place at the lavatory. The NKBA recommends 30 in. of clearance in front of the lavatory for a more comfortable space. This would even allow a person to place a seat at the lavatory. Building codes will permit 21 in. of floor clearance in front of the lavatory, but this will be very tight.
However, 30 in. does not provide adequate clearance for two people to use the space and move around each other, since the average shoulder width is 24 in. A floor space in front of the lavatory of 48 in. will accommodate two users comfortably.
Side Clearance
Body size affects how much room a person needs on either side of the lavatory. To complete typical grooming activities, a person needs to be able to raise hands and elbows. The recommended distance from the center of the lavatory to a wall or tall obstruction is 20 in.
This provides about 6 in. of clear counter space from the edge of the average lavatory to the wall or obstruction, but may not be adequate. Consider the breadth of the user and items placed on the counter to determine if more counter area is needed.
The minimum distance is 15 in. from centerline of the lavatory to the wall, according to building code, providing only about 2 in. from the edge of the average lavatory to the wall or obstruction. If a wall-hung or pedestal sink is specified, allow 4 in. between the edge of the lavatory to the wall.
If two lavatories are being planned beside each other, 36 in. between the centerlines of the lavatories is recommended. The code requirement for the centerline distance is 30 in. The IRC requires a 4-in. clearance between the edges of two freestanding or wall-hung lavatories.
Lavatory Height
Traditionally, the lavatory has been 30 in. to 32 in. high, although recently higher cabinets have become available. Work surfaces in the bath, like those in the kitchen, should be about 3 in. below the users' elbow height. Subtracting 3 in. from the average female's elbow would place the comfortable height at 36 in.
When a knee space is planned for a seated user at a vanity, the height of the lavatory may range from 28 in. to 34 in.
The recommended range of lavatory heights in the the "NKBA Bathroom Planning Guidelines" reflects adult users and is 32 in. to 43 in. Remember to plan the lavatory height so that the rim is 3 in. below the elbow of the user.
If two users will use the same lavatory, a compromise will have to be made and discussions with the client will help determine which height is most comfortable. Two lavatories of different heights may be the best solution.
There are many styles of lavatories, and the selection will impact how lavatory height is planned. Wall-mounted lavatories and those placed on wall-mounted counters offer flexibility in the height of the fixture. Pedestal sinks, wall-hung sinks and console-style vanities also improve the clear floor space in front of, and under, the fixture.
When using a pedestal sink, the designer will be limited by the height of the specified product. The pedestal may need to be placed on a platform to reach the appropriate height for the user. Finish the platform at the baseboard height, and in the same material as the floor, so that it blends.
Several styles of vanity lavatories can be placed in a counter: integral, self-rimming, under-mounted and rimmed. A vessel lavatory can be set on or cut into the counter. In all of these applications, it is important to estimate the actual height of the lavatory rim. A vessel lavatory will sit several inches above the counter, so add the height of the lavatory to the cabinet and counter heights to get the finished height.
Because vanity bases are often low (30 in. to 32 in.), a cabinet or console may need to be adjusted to place the lavatory at the appropriate height. Although a 341/2-in. cabinet with 11/2-in. countertop might be the appropriate height, specifying a kitchen cabinet might be out of proportion to the specified lavatory. Standard kitchen cabinets are 24-in. deep, but many lavatories have been designed to fit in the typical 21-in. deep vanity cabinet.
To get the vanity cabinet at an appropriate height, specify a higher cabinet, or raise a standard cabinet by placing it on a deeper toe kick or mounting it on the wall and not using a toe kick.
The books in the NKBA Professional Resource Library series are available only through the NKBA. To order, go to nkba.org or call 800-THE-NKBA.

A simpleton, usually who drives a beat up lifted pick-up truck preferably Cheverolet, Ford, Dodge or GMC because gas is so much cheaper than rice, with extra big ties and wheels such as Super Swampers. In order to reach the full nirt-nirt potential, usually factory exhaust (or whats left of it) is modified or afro-engineered with larger pipes and wire coathangers to create a throaty-rumbling that is sure to offend any other drivers on the road with their windows down. Nirt-nirts may or may not have the following charactaristics: underaged girlfriends; tend to take breaks from having jobs; chewing-tobacco habit; enjoy Natural Light reeb; smacking women (but only when they don't listen) attending mud-bogs in manuer feilds; throwing roosters; taking food to the lighthouse keeper; heated arguments with other nirt-nirt buddies about which truck is better/tougher/faster, or which can go through more shit... Ford? Chevy? or Dodge?
Nirt-nirt #1: "Line that bitch up and we'll see how good your Fucked-Over-Rebuilt-Dodge is against my Chevy. I have 38" Super Swampers, yours are only 33's!"
Nirt-nirt #2: "Awe fuck you, 38's are only good if your truck had the balls to spin them!"

Is Charlize Theron one of the more underrated female actors right now? Posted by Wooly on 5/9 at 5:25 am i just watched North Country last night, and damn, she was amazing in it. she was also great in Young Adult and Monster. IMO she has some great range, she can pull off a lot of rolls, and she doesnt mind using make-up to make her look like complete dog shit, which is not something that most actresses would be willing to do. not to mention in her popcorn flicks she looks fine as hell.

Posted by Michael J Cocks on 5/9 at 7:26 am to Wooly I think she's incredibly underrated as an actress. She rarely gets props in the goat discussions and she certainly doesn't get the props she deserves. If she was a male with the same range and resume she'd be like DDL or something Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Michael J Cocks on 5/9 at 7:30 am to TigerMyth36 quote: Although I don't whole heartedly agree with you, just for the sake of argument.... She should be getting way better offers and placement in these "good" movies. I mean her talent relative to the roles she gets offered is pretty disappointing. Hoes like Angelina getting all the good work Reply Back to Top |
Posted by CocomoLSU on 5/9 at 7:32 am to Michael J Cocks My love for Charlize is very well-documented on this site, but she's certainly not in any sort of GOAT discussion. Come on now.. I feel like she's pretty appropriately rated. And one of the most gorgeous women to ever walk the planet. Reply Back to Top |
An interesting tidbit about her is that she is from South Africa, and early in her career naturally spoke with a heavy Afrikaans accent. If you hear her in interviews now she talks with a perfect American accent. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Rougarou4lsu on 5/9 at 7:39 am to Bmath She was one sexy southern belle in The legend of Bagger Vance. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Michael J Cocks on 5/9 at 7:40 am to CocomoLSU quote: Well I personally believe anyone that can make you forget who they are in a movie is very special as far as acting goes. She's done this for me at least twice. Especially granted how gorgeous she is, it makes it that much harder to forget you are watching Charlize Theron in a movie. I firmly believe if she was up for more roles that showcases this kind of talent, perhaps she would be in the GOAT discussions. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by CocomoLSU on 5/9 at 9:07 am to Michael J Cocks I feel like she just stays out of the spotlight and out of the tabloids (for the most part). So it seems like she's not talked about much. But she's been pretty steadily busy for over 15 years now. And her staying out of the tabloids is good news for me...means I won't have to deal with that bull shite once she comes to her senses and realizes that I'm her soulmate. BTW I fell in love with her back in 1997 in Trial and Error. Decent little comedy movie, but I'm not sure she's looked better than she did in that one. Good God.. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Michael J Cocks on 5/9 at 9:16 am to CocomoLSU quote: I feel ya. I know this may sound retarded, but my first memory of her was in Devils Advocate in 1997. The thing is though, I thought for a few minutes while watching it for the first time, that she was Tiffani Amber Thiessen. I hadn't seen "Kelly Kapowski" on anything since the College Years, and I didn't watch 90210 at the time. I really arse thought she had dyed her hair blonde and adopted a southern accent for The Devils Advocate. And they both had this kind of mole or freckle at like the same exact spot on their throat (So removed 3-4 years from SBTB, I found this to be plausible.) I realized how incredibly wrong I was by the time they had moved to NYC in the movie, but I damn sure did think Charlize Theron was Kelly Kapowski for a few brief moments. Even to the point that I was trying to argue with my friend while watching it. Reply Back to Top |

Similar to the snowball, an avalanche is a sex act in which multiple men ejaculate into a person's mouth and that person then kisses another, forcing all of the semen into the receiving person's mouth.
That bukkake party was going great last night, until Rachel got up and avalanched Dave. Dave will never be the same again.

Jeannette Morrill speaks at the PHA Congressional Luncheon in November 2011
Since the beginning of the year, the following U.S. representatives have become co-sponsors of the Tom Lantos Pulmonary Hypertension Research and Education Act: Elijah Cummings (MD-7); Steven LaTourette (OH- 14); Todd Platts (PA-19); David Price (NC-4); Tim Ryan (OH-17) and Louise Slaughter (NY-28).
Five more representatives have expressed interest in cosponsoring and are waiting for their names to be added to the bill: Jason Altmire (PA-4); Jesse Jackson Jr. (IL-2); Gregory Meeks (NY-6); Michael Michaud (ME-2) and Chris Murphy (CT-5).
Each new Member who adds his or her name to the PH bill represents a PH patient, caregiver or medical professional who contacted that Member and shared a story. Six Members signed on after receiving visits during PHA's Congressional Luncheon in November, but some signed on after a simple phone call or email from a constituent.
"I met a patient from Vermont who had never connected with another patient. She had been isolated from the time of her diagnosis, about two years ago. These situations clearly show why the Tom Lantos bill is so important to the pulmonary hypertension community," said PH patient Jeanette Morrill during a presentation to Members of Congress and their staff. Jeanette's representative, Michael Michaud, had co-sponsored PH legislation on multiple occasions thanks to Jeanette's efforts to keep him connected to the PH community.
The Tom Lantos PH Research and Education Act is the only bill in Congress that is solely focused on improving the lives of PH patients. To learn more about keeping your Member of Congress aware of the PH community, contact us at 301-565-3004 x753 or email@example.com.

The pizza just looks ok to me.
The fireplace surround... do you have something underneath that? It looks a little fragile. If a piece broke off and fell on the pizza (and you didn't notice it), that would be bad.
...The top was bubbling liquid long before the bottom was done. I'd bet with the hearth closer to 800F the top and bottom would be ready about the same time...
What changes if any did you make to get these results?
I assume you are finding, as I did, that having a rotisserie fixes all the problems with uneven heating. No need to fiddle with the pie, just let it spin until you are ready to eat.

Tuesday's six-pack Some of the more interesting games on the Week 14 schedule..... -- Texans @ Patriots Monday night; AFC title game preview? -- Chiefs @ Browns-- Romeo Crennel coaches against his old team, in what promises to be another emotional week for the Chiefs. -- Jets @ Jaguars-- Who QBs Jets? Sanchez? Tebow? McElroy? Todd? Al Woodall? Babe Parilli? Broadway Joe himself? -- Falcons @ Panthers-- Could be Atlanta's last outdoor game. -- Bears @ Vikings-- Both teams limping towards finish line. -- Ravens @ Redskins-- Washington just beat all three division rivals.
Make post sticky on:
Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........ 13) Dwight Howard is a big enough star that he got his coach fired last year, a coach who had won 61% of his games; too bad Howard can't make 61% of his foul shots. He was 9-21 from line Sunday, as Howard's old team, the Orlando Magic, beat the Lakers, Howard's new team, as 13-point underdog. Since the start of last season, Howard is 359-738 (48.2%) from charity stripe. That's 359 made, 379 missed. What does he do all summer? He should at least try shooting them underhanded. It couldn't hurt. 12) Last time the Lakers were 8-9 was eight years ago; they finished 45-37, lost in first round of the playoffs. I'm just sayin'…… 11) Northern Illinois, as a BCS bowl team, has to buy 17,500 tickets for the Orange Bowl, which doesn't sound like much, until you realize their average HOME attendance this year was 15,670. Unless they have a big alumni base in Florida, someone's going to be buying tickets and giving most of them to school kids in Miami. Its part of the sham of the BCS system; they're guaranteed money, whether there is interest in the game or not. 10) Didn't know that Cris Collinsworth's father played basketball for Adolph Rupp at Kentucky; was on a national championship team, too. 9) Eagles fired their DC earlier this year, now they've fired respected DL coach Jim Washburn, who could wind up in St Louis with his old boss Jeff Fisher. Washburn was upset the Eagles cut Jason Babin, and I guess he said so, and was shown the door. 8) Supposedly, the Pope is joining Twitter this week; not a joke, the real Pope over in Rome. Not sure if he's going to tell jokes, post funny pictures of church stuff or explain why he wears that oddly-shaped hat, but it can't be bad for us to follow the Pope, can it? 7) If I'm the Cardinals (that's Arizona, not the ones who hang out with the Pope in Rome), I call the Jets, see what they'll take for Marc Sanchez; a new start would be good for him, and he's a lot better than anyone the Redbirds currently have under center. 6) Surprising stat: in their last four games, this is what the Cowboys scored, just in the second half: 28-23-28-28 points. That's a lot of production!!! 5) If I'm a Tennessee titan fan and rooting for Jake Locker to be my QB of the future, I'm deeply concerned with this stat: in their last three games, Titans are 53-107 (49.5%) passing. Right now, Locker simply isn't an accurate enough passer to excel at the NFL level. 4) In first half of their last four games, Raiders were outscored 82-20. 3) Rose Bowl used to be such a big deal, but now Wisconsin is in with an 8-5 record. 8-5 teams belong in the Holiday Bowl or the Idaho Potato Bowl. Worst thing is that there are no bowl games played opposite the Rose Bowl, so we're stuck watching the Badgers lose to Stanford, until the next bowl comes on later that night. Or maybe Spooky thinks Wisconsin keeps the game close. hmmmmm 2) Jets took a knee on the Arizona 1-yard line Sunday with a 7-6 lead, to prevent Arizona from getting the ball back with a chance to tie while trailing 14-6; smart football move, but when gambling on the NFL becomes legal in a couple years, moves like that are going to cause a ruckus. 1) Indianapolis Colts are no fluke; 16 of their last 18 TD drives have been 74+ yards; they have only three return TD's all year. Last time they started a drive in enemy territory? Week 4. This offense is very good, and they haven't gotten a great deal of help from defense/special teams. Makes you wonder why the Steelers canned Bruce Arians. He could be NFL Coach of the Year, as an interim coach.
College Football Fake Awards for Real People As the college football season comes to another close and all of you give thanks for Spooky's football posts, I think it's only fitting we hand out some awards before we break down the bowl games next week. These are awards I literally just made up but you'll see the recipients are more than deserving. And remember as a USC fan I have no remorse in my Fight On awards. The envelopes please... The Darren McFadden Golden Pussy Award - Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina Great, gaping pussy gashes! This guy has to be made out of crusty boogers and dried poop molded together with globs of semen. Part of me feels bad for Lattimore because he seems like a good kid. But another part of me hates him because he played for shit sucking fuck bubble like Spurrier. Marcus would make up a lot of ground in the "feels bad" area if he put his head through a car windshield while screaming "STARTING DEFENSE! PLACE AT THE TABLE!! WOOOOO!!!" But my guess is that he's too busy learning how to walk again. The Rick Majerus Quadruple Bypass Award - Jerry Kill - Minnesota No surprise here. The seizure queen dominated this category. I don't know for sure, but I choose to believe that more people think this is funny rather than tragic. Only because it sounds like Jerruh is an insufferable twat wart who treats everyone like street trash. Kill will be the first coach to die on the sideline...assuming he doesn't get fired first. But he probably won't since the college football expectations in Minny are about as high as JimmytheGreek expectations when taking a girl home. The Brady Quinn Falling NFL Stock Award - Matt Barkley - USC America's favorite boner lover really boned himself by staying back at USC for "unfinished business". Apparently that business was completely fucking destroying his own future. Think about how much cash this anus lost just by going back for his Senior year. It's truly astonishing. Merely one year ago he would have been the #2 overall pick, most likely to the Washington Pigskins, leaving the Browns to ruin the life of RGTHREELITE. Now Robz Griff is a stud in Washington and Bonerz will get drafted in round 2 or 7 since the Browns only draft a QB every OTHER year. Sorry, Bonerz. Wrong year or else you would have been a LOCK in the first round to Cleveland. NOW HE'S DONE!! The Blaine Gabbert Drafted Too High Because Of One Season Award - Geno Smith - West Virginia Hoooo Boy does this have NFL bust written all over it. He's most likely going to be the first QB taken in the draft this year and some GM uninterested in having a job next year will be the moron to pull the first round trigger. Now...I liked Smiff at the beginning of the year. Then I saw what he did against teams that actually had talent. Yikes. What a drop off. The Jim Schwartz Ass Hat Coach of the Year Award - Lane Kiffen - USC Never before has there been a more OVERRATED coach than this dick cheese. The more I think about Kiffen, the more I wonder how he got a reputation of being an ELITE coach. He's currently 25-12 at a school that's used to going 11-1 every year so it's not because he wins games. USC recruits itself so you can't say he's a good recruiter. I mean, what 18 year old kid who is awesome at football doesn't want a chance to drown themselves in SoCal pussy and have a chance to play in a BCS bowl game every fucking year? Not to mention playing for a program that gets you NFL ready. So why does everyone continue to shine this guy's pole? It's like Cowfucker has the world brainwashed. The Best of the Best Award - Alabama's running backs - Uhhhh, Alabama They go from Ingram to Richardson to Lacy to Yeldon while other schools can't even muster a single thousand yard rusher. Like I said before, I'm not sure which one of these bastards is going to be better, but I DO know that both are going to be destructive motherfuckers at the next level. And another thing...any time you interview a black guy who plays for ROLL DAMN TIDE, please put fucking captions up so I can understand the mush that's coming out. Thank you. That wraps up our award show today, shit eaters. A special congratulations to all of our winners. Go home and fuck yourselves with these imaginary trophies. Apparently Kirk Herbstreit is none too happy about Northern IlliNOISE getting a BCS bid over Oklahoma. Herbie can be a dildo at times but he also brings up a good point. Hate Herbie all you want...especially those who own MAC thongs but Northern IlliNOISE did lose to a incredibly shitty Iowa team this year. Fact be facts
Wednesday's six-pack -- Auburn hired Gus Malzahn away from Arkansas State, meaning ASU is going to have its fourth head coach in four years in 2013. Terrific. -- Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema surprised lot of people, including his boss at Wisconsin, by bolting Madison for the Arkansas Razorbacks. -- Think Dave Doeren, who just bolted Northern Illinois for NC State, but is a former Wisconsin assistant, would've liked to have known that the job in Madison was opening up? Am guessing he could've had it. Whoops. -- NBA team in New Orleans, which used to play in Charlotte, is going to change its name from Hornets to Pelicans, freeing up the Charlotte Bobcats to become the Hornets. Got it? -- You want to be a handicapper? Explain Washington beating the Heat. If you can, you're a lot smarter than I am. -- For the $$$ I spend on DirecTV, they need to get the Pac-12 Network. Lot of latenight basketball. Get it done, people.
Wednesday's List of 13: Random thoughts on bowl games....... 13) Biggest bowl spread, by far, is Oklahoma State -17 over Purdue in the Heart of Dallas Bowl; 9-3 Louisiana Tech would've fit in there nicely, instead of a team that already fired its coach. Next highest spread is the game in Hawai'i, Fresno State -11.5 over SMU. 12) Unless I'm missing something, the seven Big Dozen bowl teams are all underdogs in their bowl games. The ten SEC teams are all favored in theirs. Draw your own conclusions there. Side note: Ohio State/Penn State being ineligible for bowl games played into this happening. 11) Pitt Panthers are headed to the Compass Bowl for third year in a row, meaning they sure as hell won't need a compass to get back to Birmingham, which I'm sure is a fine city that loves football, but couldn't they ship the Panthers somewhere else? At least Pitt has had a different coach in all three Compass Bowls, or shouldn't I mention that? 10) Highest bowl totals: Baylor-UCLA, 78 in usually high scoring Holiday Bowl, and Kansas State-Oregon, 77 in the Fiesta Bowl. Both games should be bigtime fun. 9) Lowest totals: Rutgers-Virginia Tech and TCU-Michigan State were both 41.5, last time I looked. Alabama-Notre Dame is 42. Crimson Tide outscored its last two bowl opponents 70-7. 8) USC can't be thrilled having to prepare for Georgia Tech's option attack, but look on the bright side; Tech is 6-7, their defense is awful. Plus, it's the Trojans' first bowl in three years, so any bowl is good and El Paso is supposed to be a fun place. This is another spot where Louisiana Tech would've been an upgrade as an opponent. 7) Mississippi State is 5-0 in bowls since 1999, and they were an underdog in three of those five games. 6) San Diego State/Vanderbilt are both playing home games in bowls. Not sure that's good, well if you live in San Diego its good. I guess playing in front of your home fans is always good. 5) Kent State lost '72 Tangerine Bowl 21-18 to Tampa; they haven't been back to a bowl since, but they're in the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, so good for them. Jack Lambert/Nick Saban were on that '72 Kent team, by the way. Kent lost its coach Tuesday night, when Purdue hired Darrell Hazell. 4) Iowa State beat Tulsa 38-23 in its season opener September 1. Why are these teams playing again in the Liberty Bowl? Why? I'll beat the dead horse; Louisiana Tech is a way more attractive team than the Cyclones, though Iowa State will bring fans to Memphis, and making money is all these bowls care about. 3) West Virginia of the Big 12 against Syracuse of the ACC in the Bronx on December 29. Somebody please buy Dana Holgorsen a hat, he'll need it. Bad weather bowl for a passing team with a lousy defense. Is going to NYC for a bowl game an attractive trip? Its damn cold there in December. 2) Two bowls match up a pair of 6-6 teams; Compass Bowl and Armed Forces Bowl, but at least Air Force is in the Armed Forces Bowl. Not sure how Rice got to a bowl. I won't even mention the obvious here..... 1) UL-Monroe will be very excited about its first bowl ever, against Ohio in the Independence Bowl. Too bad Louisiana Tech-ULM don't get along- their matchup would've been one of the better bowls.
Pitt might have a 4th coach next year if Chryst jumps ship for the Wisconsin job.
Serves them right for being able to cheer for the Steelers all these years. lol
Thursday's six-pack -- Tennessee Titans are 0-7 vs spread in their last seven divisional games. -- Miami Dolphins covered seven of last nine tries as a road underdog. -- New Jersey Giants covered seven of their last 25 games as a home fave. -- Oakland Raiders are 8-3 vs spread in last 11 games as double digit dog. -- San Diego Chargers failed to cover their last six non-divisional games. -- Seattle Seahawks are 6-0-1 vs spread in last seven divisional home games.
Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud......... 13) Student-athletes, my ass; South Florida's AD praised football coach Skip Holtz for raising the team's Academic Progress Rate (APR); of course, he did this praising at the press conference after Holtz's firing, after his third year at USF. You go 3-8 in bigtime college football, you get fired, it doesn't matter if the kids go to class or not. I'm not criticizing, its just the way it is. 12) When did Gary Sheffield become an agent? Why isn't this bigger news? How hard is it to become one? Inquiring minds want to know. 11) 12 of the 16 teams in the Atlantic 16 will make this year's postseason basketball tournament; when Temple/Charlotte leave the league next summer, then 12 of 14 teams will make the tournament, which has moved from Atlantic City to Brooklyn. 10) In case you wonder about such things, the average Division I college basketball team turned the ball over on 20.7% of possessions last year; they made 34.4% of their 3-point shots, 69.2% of their foul shots. Just thought you'd want to know. 9) Miami Marlins got Yuinel Escobar from Toronto when they shipped off five of their higher-priced players off to Toronto; well, since Escobar makes $5M a year, he is gone too, off to Tampa Bay for a AA infielder. Miami's 2013 payroll right now is $31M, plus another $7M in payments to players gone by (mostly Heath Bell). That's $31M for 25 players. Alex Rodriguez makes almost that much by himself, and he might not play until the All-Star break. 8) I'm tired of Dick Vitale shilling for Notre Dame; its annoying and he should know better. I know his daughters went there and they married guys who went there, and I just don't care. He loses credibility every time he opens his mouth, unless he's raising money for the V Foundation, for which he has done great work. 7) Fort Worth Star-Telegram came up with the following profits that various football teams made last year: Texas, $77.9M, Geoirgia, $52.3M, Florida $51.1M, Alabama $45.5. this, people is why coaches get fired for losing. 6) When football coach Dave Doeren bolted Northern Illinois for NC State, the Wolfpack paid NUI his buyout, whatever it was, but apparently there is a tax on that money, and Doeren paid that himself. Wonder if Doeren, a former Wisconsin assistant, wishes he turned NC State down, now that the Badgers' job has unexpectedly come open? 5) Last year, Florida International coach Mario Cristobal was a hot candidate to replace Greg Schiano at Rutgers; today, FIU fired him, supposedly to replace him with Butch Davis, who should have the Panthers on probation within two years. 4) For what its worth, eight of first nine NFL players who were suspended for positive Adderall tests are defensive backs. 3) In 1981, Jerry Reinsdorf's first year owning the White Sox, they had a payroll of $2.5M. For the whole team. Last year, it was $127M. 2) Rams' rookie kicker Greg Zuerlien is 3-6 this season on field goals of 56+ yards; rest of the NFL is 4-12. 1) St John's lost by 16 at San Francisco late Tuesday night; at some point, people in New York are going to realize that while Lavin is a terrific guy who was very good on TV, he's just not that good a coach. He had NBA talent when he was at UCLA, and had middling results. I can see Lavin and ESPN analyst (former Tennessee coach) Bruce Pearl switching jobs in a year or two.
NFL ANALYSIS Week 14 NFL Broncos (9-3) @ Raiders (3-9)—Oakland lost last five games (0-5 vs spread), allowing 37.8 ppg; they're 1-3 as home underdog this year, 9-14-1 since '08. Denver won last seven games (5-2 vs spread), scoring 30+ points six times, with road wins by 11-8-22-8 points; they're 2-1 as road favorites this year, 6-4 since 2009. Fox's defense is creating shorter fields for his offense; eight of last 11 Denver TD's were on drives of less than 60 yards. Broncos (-6.5) crushed Raiders 37-6 in Week 4, outrushing Oakland 165-56 (TY 503-237)- they were 10-16 on 3rd down, Oakland 1-12. Manning was 30-39/338 passing. Denver won three of last four visits here, but haven't swept Raiders since '06. Eight of last 10 series games were decided by 14+ points. AFC West home teams are 3-5 vs spread in division games; home dogs are 1-2. Six of last eight Denver games, five of last seven Bronco games went over the total. Note: Raiders' coach Allen has been away from team this week, due to the death of his father. Ravens (9-3) @ Redskins (6-6)—Washington is 3-0 since its bye, beating all three division rivals, running ball for 172.7 ypg; short week for them, coming off physical win over Giants in RGIII's first MNF appearance. Redskins are 3-3 at home but won three of last four. Last three Baltimore games were decided by a FG, with Ravens scoring only three offensive TD's on 35 drives; they split pair with Big Ben-less Steelers, beat sliding Chargers in OT, hardly impressive. Baltimore allowed 101.8 rushing yards per game in five post-bye games, after allowing 209.3 ypg in last three pre-bye games- they won three of four series games in once/every four years local rivalry, winning 20-17/17-10 in two visits here, last of which was in '04; average total in four games was 27.8. NFC East home teams are 4-10 vs spread in non-divisional games; AFC North road teams are 8-8. Four of last five Redskin games stayed under total. Chiefs (2-10) @ Browns (4-8)—Cleveland is 4-3 in last seven games after 0-5 start, winning three of last four at home (wins by 10-1-6 points). Since 2008, they're 3-8-2 as home favorites (0-0 in '12). In three post-bye games, Browns allowed 65.7 ypg on ground, so will be up to ex-Brown Quinn to move KC thru air. Going to be tough week for Chiefs (Jovan Belcher's funeral), as reality sets in about what happened Saturday; they played best game of year the next day, but now go on road where they're 2-3 as underdogs, losing by 18-28-18-3 points, with win in OT at Superdome in game they trailed 24-6. Like QB Quinn, KC coach Crennel was once canned by Browns; reality is, he's probably about to be fired by Chiefs, too. AFC West non-divisional underdogs are 6-14 vs spread, 3-8 on road; NFC North favorites are 10-13, 6-10 at home. Under is 5-0-1 in last six Cleveland games, 3-1 in last four Chief games. Chargers (4-8) @ Steelers (7-5)—Last five Pitt games were all decided by 6 or less points, with last three vs divisional rivals; Steelers won emotional game over rival Ravens last week behind 37-year 3rd-string QB Batch. Hard to endorse laying big number with Steelers until Big Ben comes back, but San Diego has now lost four in row, seven of last eight games, as Turner regime plays out string. Bolts are lost last four road games, by 7-1-10-7 points; they're 1-3 as underdogs this year, 2-6 in last eight games as road dog. Pitt won eight of last nine series games, winning last three by 1-11-10 points. Chargers lost last six visits here by average score of 28-17; last time they won here was in '94 playoffs. AFC West non-divisional underdogs are 6-14 vs spread, 3-8 on road; NFC North favorites are 10-13, 6-10 at home. Under is 5-1-1 in last seven Steeler games, but 1-4 in last five Charger road games. Titans (4-8) @ Colts (8-4)—Indy's storybook season continued last week, Colts scoring two TD's in last 2:39 to pull out wild 35-33 win in Detroit, its sixth win in last seven games; they've won seven of last eight games vs Titans, nipping them 19-13 in OT (+3.5) in Nashville six weeks ago, scoring first TD of day with 3:24 left to tie game. Colts ran ball for 171 yards, outgained Titans 457-339. Indy is 5-1 at home this year, 2-1 as favorite, with home wins by 3-3-4-3-7 points; this is first time this year they've been favored by more than a FG. Tennessee lost last four visits here, with three of four losses by 10+ points; they're 2-3 as road underdogs this year, with road losses by 28-24-23-5 points (won at Miami/Buffalo). Titans are 2-8 in games where their turnover ratio is worse than +2. AFC South home teams are 2-6 vs spread in divisional games, 1-3 when favored. Under is 4-1-1 in Indy games, 4-1 in titans' last five games. Jets (5-7) @ Jaguars (2-10)—Dysfunctional Jets are road favorite despite not knowing which one of their three lousy QB's will start; they ran ball for 177 yards last week, but struggled to beat a team 7-6; Cardinals were second team in last 50 years to throw 30+ passes and gain less than 75 yards doing it. Jets are 3-2 vs spread when favored this year, 1-0 on road; they're 2-3 SU on road, winning at Miami/St Louis. Jaguars are 1-5 at home, with all five losses by 17+ points; only games they've won, they gave up 17-19 points. Jets scored less than 10 points in three of last five games. This is Jets' first game on grass since Week 3 (1-1 in '12). Home side won seven of 10 series games; Jets are 0-3 here, getting outscored by total of 69-3 in last two visits, last of which was in '06. AFC East favorites are 8-6 vs spread, 3-2 on road. AFC South underdogs are 11-10, 5-4 at home. Three of Jets' last four road games went over; four of six Jaguar home games stayed under total. Bears (8-4) @ Vikings (6-6)—Chicago lost three of last four games, Minnesota lost four of last five, so obviously critical game here; Bears (-6.5) drilled Vikings 28-10 at home two weeks ago, their sixth straight series win, converting 11-19 on 3rd down, using turnovers to score TDs on short drives of 34-13 yards in game they led 25-3 at half. Minnesota didn't score on two of three drives inside red zone, averaged only 3.2 ypa. Four of Bears' last five series wins were by 14+ points- they won last two visits here, 40-14/17-12. Vikings are 5-1 when they score 21+ points, 1-5 when they don't; they're 5-1 at home, with only loss a Thursday game vs Bucs. Minnesota ran ball for 240 yards last week at Lambeau, but turned ball over twice, 7th time in last eight games they had 2+ giveaways. Home teams are 4-4 vs spread in NFC North games, home dogs are 1-1. Chicago's last four road games went over the total. Falcons (11-1) @ Panthers (3-9)—If Falcons win #1 seed in NFC, they could get to Super Bowl without playing any more outdoor games after today. Atlanta (-7) snuck past Panthers 30-28 in Week 4, despite scoring only one TD on four red zone drives; they've won last five series games, scoring 30+ points in all five- they won 31-10/31-23 in last two visits here. Falcons had three extra days to prepare after finally beating rival Saints last game; they're 5-1 on road, 2-1-1 as road favorites, winning by 16-24-7-13-1 point, with loss in New Orleans. Carolina lost four of last five games, getting beat at somber Arrowhead last week; they've lost last five home games, by 29-4-5-22-6 points. Panthers are 4-3 as underdogs this year, but 1-3 at home. NFC South home underdogs are 3-2 vs spread in divisional games this year. Six of last eight Falcon games stayed under total; three of last four Carolina games went over. Eagles (3-9) @ Buccaneers (6-6)—Philly (only wins by 1-1-2 points) is playing out string; can't expect big effort from them here, after playing in primetime last two weeks. Eagles lost eight games in row, allowing 26+ points in last seven, 30+ in last four (gave up 12 TD's on 29 drives in last three games); they're 2-4 as a dog this year, 2-2 on road, losing away games by 21-2-15-25-5 points, with only win 17-16 at Cleveland in Week 1. Bucs allowed 26.2 ppg in last five games, losing last two; they're 3-3 at home this year, 2-1 as home faves, winning home games by 6-28-10 points- they're 5-0 when allowing less than 21 points. Eagles scored 10.8 ppg in four road games on grass. Teams last met in '09; Eagles are 2-3 in five visits here, with last one in '06. NFC East non-divisional underdogs are 7-5 vs spread, 6-3 on road; NFC South favorites are 10-8, 6-7 at home. Five of last seven Iggle games, seven of last nine Tampa games went over the total. Rams (5-6-1) @ Bills (5-7)—St Louis is 4-0-1 in division games, 1-6 outside NFC West; they're 1-5 away from home, and a dome team playing in western NY in December, but they're also finding ways to win (three defensive TD's in last two games, all by Jenkins) and just played rival 49ers tough twice in four weeks (1-0-1). Bills ran ball 46 times last week, passed it only 17, so up to sturdy Ram defense to contain Spiller and make former Ram Fitzpatrick beat them thru air. Buffalo covered four of five tries as a favorite this season; they've won five of last six games in seldom-played series, with average total in last five meetings, 57; don't forget Fisher's Titans tore Bills' fans hearts out with Music City Miracle in '99 playoffs. NFC West underdogs are 12-6 vs spread, 8-5 on road; AFC East favorites are 8-6, 5-4 at home. Five of last six St Louis games, four of last five Buffalo home games went over total. Cowboys (6-6) @ Bengals (7-5)—Well-coached Bengals (Gruden/Zimmer top coordinators) won/covered last four games, allowing 10.5 ppg (two TDs on last 45 drives); they're just 3-3 at home, but won 31-13/34-10 in last two at home-- contention has sparked fan interest. Can't ignore fact that in last four games, just in second half of those games, Dallas has scored 28-23-28-28 points, so they make great adjustments at halftime and put points on board. Pokes are 3-3 SU on road, 2-1 as road dogs, with losses by 20-2-6 points- their defense has fallen off, allowing 142-183 rushing yards last two games, creating few chances for offense. Six of last seven Dallas TDs came on drives of 75+ yards, though defense did chip in with clinching TD at end of Philly game last week. NFC East underdogs are 7-5 vs spread, 6-3 on road. AFC North favorites are 8-9, 4-5 at home. Six of last nine Dallas games went over total; four of last five Bengal games stayed under. Dolphins (5-7) @ 49ers (8-3-1)—Miami lost four of last five games after promising start, but only one of losses was by more than 7 points (were -4 in turnovers in 37-3 home loss to Titans); Dolphins are 2-4 on road, 3-2 as road underdogs, losing away games by 20-3-3-5 points. Problem is, they've had only one takeaway in last five games (-8), and lost field position by 21-10-10-3 yards in last four games. 49ers got upset in St Louis last week; they're 3-3 as home favorites this year, winning at Candlestick by 8-42-7-25 points, losing to Giants, tying Rams. After being +28 in turnovers LY, they're only +5 this year, which is still good- they've had field position edge in last six games. Mobile QB Kaepernick has infused run game that gained 123-144-148 yards in his three starts. Miami is 6-5 in seldom-played series, 3-2 here, with last visit in '04. NFC West favorites are 7-6 vs spread, 5-4 at home; AFC East underdogs are 8-7, 5-6 on road. Under is 6-1-1 in last eight Miami games, 1-3 last four 49er games. Saints (5-7) @ Giants (7-5)—Sean Payton was once fired as Giants' OC, felt he took special delight in pounding them as head coach (won last three meetings, scoring 30-48-49 points), he will be missed here. Saints lost last two weeks to slide out of playoff contention, but have four extra days to prep here, with Giants having played on Monday, NO last Thursday. Saints are 2-4 on road, with losses by 8-1-20-10 points, with wins at Tampa/Oakland. Giants lost three of last four games; they're 2-4 as home favorites this year, 4-2 SU, winning by 7-14-4-28 points, losing to Cowboys/Steelers. Expect big Blue to pound ball vs defense that allowed 120-144-124 yards on ground last three games. Home side won seven of last eight series games, with Saints losing four of last five visits here. NFC South underdogs are 9-5 vs spread, 9-2 on road; NFC East favorites are 4-13, 3-8 at home. Six of Saints' last nine games went over; last four Giant games stayed under. Cardinals (4-8) @ Seahawks (7-5)—Lindley was 10-31/72 yards last week, making him second QB in last 50 years to throw 30+ passes and gain less than 75 yards. Arizona's lack of competent QB play has turned a 4-0 start into a 4-8 debacle; they're 3-2 as road underdog, losing away games by 14-7-14-4-1 point. In last three weeks, Cardinals lost games where they were +5/+3 in turnovers, which rarely happens. Seahawks won/covered all five home games; they were underdog in three of them- they've got home wins by 20-2-1-10-21 points. Wilson's first NFL start was 20-16 (-1.5) loss in desert in Week 1, when Seattle scored only 13 points in four red zone drives, and averaged 3.8 ypa. Home side won five of last six series games; Redbirds lost seven of last nine visits here, losing 22-10/13-10 in last two. Underdogs are 6-1-1 vs spread in NFC West divisional games, 2-0-1 on road. Six of last eight Arizona games stayed under total; four of last five Seattle games went over. Lions (4-8) @ Packers (8-4)—Green Bay had 13-yard edge in field position, snuck past Lions 24-20 (-3.5) in Detroit three weeks ago, its third series win in row and 13th in last 14 tries. Lions lost last 18 visits to Lambeau, though last two years they lost by 2-4 points. Last time Detroit won at Lambeau I was unmarried and had hair (1991). Now I'm bald/divorced. Lions scored 31-33 points last two weeks, lost both games; in second half of last four games, they've allowed 21-17-20-21 points, just in 2nd half!!! Detroit is 2-4 SU on road, 2-1 as road dog, losing away games by 8-3-6-10 points. Packers trailed last three games at half, kicking three FGs (no TD's) on last four red zone drives; they allowed 147-240 rushing yards in last two games, and are 3-3 as home favorites, winning at Lambeau by 13-1-9-14-9 points (lost to 49ers). NFC North favorites are 4-4 vs spread, 3-3 at home. Five of last six Detroit games went over total; four of last five Green Bay games stayed under. Texans (11-1) @ Patriots (9-3)— Easy to overlook that New England is +24 in turnovers this year (+11 in last four games), a remarkable number; 49ers were +28 LY, and they have chance to beat that. Third week in row on road for Houston, historically a red flag for any team, but Texans are 6-0 on road, with pair of 6-point wins and an OT win at Detroit. Top two teams in AFC square off in possible playoff preview; Texans' offense is geared towards good weather- they snuck past Bears 13-6 in sloppy night game four weeks ago. Have to wonder about Houston defense after Jaguars/Lions scored 37-31 points in games 2-3 weeks ago, Wes Welker blew out his knee last time teams met, a 34-27 Houston win in season finale few years ago; Patriots won two of three series games, winning 40-7 in only meeting here in '06. AFC East favorites are 8-6 vs spread, 5-4 at home; AFC South underdogs are 11-10, 6-6 on road. Nine of last ten New England games went over total; three of Texans' last four road games stayed under.
Friday's six-pack NFL trends to consider with Week 14 upon us....... -- Vikings covered four of last five games as a home underdog. -- Green Bay covered 20 of last 29 as a divisional favorite. -- Titans covered twice in their last eight away games. -- Bengals are 15-4-1 vs spread in last 20 non-divisional games. -- Jets covered eight of last 11 tries as a road favorite. -- Arizona covered twice in last nine NFC West road game
Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here......... 13) Wow. It looks like kickoffs might get eliminated from football. Not kidding. I wouldn't mind terribly if teams just started new possessions on the 25 or 30, but there is a suggestion out there where the team that scored would basically have a 4th-and-15 from its own 35 and they could punt or go for a first down to keep the ball, which would be the onside kick option on the new rule. Supposedly it would reduce the amount of injuries. 12) Of course, if the NFL was 100% committed to reducing injuries, these Thursday night games wouldn't be played every week. Football wasn't meant to be played on three days' rest. 11) Michael Young vetoed a trade to the Phillies? Who would want to trade Michael Young in the first place? 10) Phillies traded couple of pitchers to the Twins for CF Ben Revere, who stole 40 bases last year. One of the pitchers Philly traded to the Twins is Vance Worley, who is on my sons fantasy team; not fond of an NL pitcher going to the league that has the DH. Another one of his pitchers, oft-injured Andrew Cashner, sliced a tendon in his thumb in a hunting-related accident. Terrific. 9) If I'm Tennessee AD Dave Hart, I'm calling former Cal coach Jeff Tedford and offering him the job as Vols' football coach, then if he accepts, I'm going to breathe a huge sigh of relief that I just saved my job. 8) Good news: Sean McDonough is recovering from brain surgery and will work two bowl games for ESPN, on December 29/January 2. We've long thought that McDonough is one of ESPN's most underrated voices. Glad to hear he's getting healthy again. 7) Hot baseball rumor of the day: Zach Greinke's wife used to be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, and would like him to pitch for the Rangers. 6) If you're the Seattle Mariners and marijuana just got legalized in state of Washington, is signing Josh Hamilton a risk worth taking? He is fighting a daily battle against drug addiction. Its a fair question to ask. 5) Olive Garden is an underrated restaurant. Excellent bread sticks. 4) Knicks played Miami twice this year, beat them by 20 points both times; New York made 18-46 behind the arc. They're an exceptional shooting team, but you cannot leave Steve Novak alone. The man guarding him cannot help on defense, its just plain stupid. 3) From what you read about the NHL work stoppage, this season is in serious trouble. When the players hired Donald Fehr to head the NHLPA, you knew things were going to be contentious. Same thing happened with Fehr and baseball. Players have a short window of their lives to try and make money; missing a season makes very little sense for them, but looks like thats where they're headed. 2) Nash-Stoudemire-Johnson-Barbosa-Diaw-Marion are all still playing in the NBA; five years ago, they were playing in Phoenix, finishing up a run where the Suns won 62-54-61-55 games under Mike D'Antoni. Why did Suns' ownership break this group up? Think they regret it now? Phoenix is 79-87 the last 2+ seasons. 1) I never thought I'd see the day where the Chiefs/Raiders are the two worst teams in the NFL. We might be there right now.

I got the idea for some really
Cheap balsa wood embroidery hoops at A.C. Moore cost me around $12.00 for 13 hoops! Can you believe it?! I already had all the fabric I could possibly use. My mom and I picked out all the fabric we thought might work and threw it on the quilt. Anything that didn't blend in we removed, and then we went through what was left, choosing our favorites, which were about 15 different colors and patterns.My niece came over and we put fabrics in different size hoops, planning to use 2 of the same fabric at least twice, and finishing with an odd number of hoops. Once we were happy with the sizes we had chosen for the different patterns, she started laying them out on the floor in a horizontal oval. Once we were happy with the different sizes and colors and their relationship to each other, we moved things out of perfect alignment to be more random and took a picture. This all sounds simple, but it took us several hours of switching fabrics out of different size hoops and taking lots of pictures before we were happy with this arrangement. I love using a camera to see things, it gives it a whole different perspective! The hoops were very raw-creamy looking, so I used some acrylic paints I had around to dry brush the outer hoops in a mixture of gold, green and burnt sienna, aging them up.
My friend Mary graciously hung them for me. No one wants the girl with balance problems standing on a mattress when there is no one else in the house. She didn't even mind that her whole back was in the picture, not that she should. What confidence! We used sticky-tack to hang the hoops, so they can easily be repositioned, and no holes were made in the wall. Ta Da! I think it looks great! We ended up hanging 11 hoops with 9 different fabrics. It made a huge impact for less than $12.00! I love the feeling of getting something done! My next project is to make a ragamuffin valance or possible fringe for the curtains. I can do that with stuff I already have, too!

After having the opportunity to play with Microsoft Surface first hand I immediately wanted to have one. However after I discovered the hefty price tag for one these tables and the fact that they are not yet available to consumers I decided to build my own. With some help from the great people at NUI Group I am well on my way to completing my new multi-touch coffee table for my living room. The table has been constructed and I am in the process of putting all the final parts together. Stay tuned for updates!
The main construction of the table is complete. I've constructed the box out of plywood and use 2×2's for structural support on the sides. No nails were used around the frame of the table (just a lot of awesome glue).
The big empty space you see on the side is where the access door goes.

They appear to be rebadge of the 7000 serie, so it's just probably some PCIIDs to add to the drivers.
From here(please do not discuss it there).
They appear to be rebadge of the 7000 serie, so it's just probably some PCIIDs to add to the drivers.
See here for more info:
Having 8k entire series be rebadges kinda puts "hd8k will be the first supported in open drivers on launch" in a new light
The most scary thing being that they knew it would be rebadges many years ago already....
They deliver as promised.
I came up with the whole thing after reading the German news site 'heise.de'.
heise media has a good reputation and they usually don't publish junk.
The last paragraph might be a bit misleading when they say AMD announced the HD 8000 GPU line at CES
(not just the mobile ones). They continue mentioning that some OEM parts will ship first.
The GPUs announced so far are not the "next generation" hardware we have been talking about.
Last edited by bridgman; 01-08-2013 at 01:44 PM.
Will the "next generation" hardware be released with an 8xxx number too?
I think so...
That's pretty horrible, seeing as the rebadges span the entire range this time.

Introduction | Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD Canon lens performance | Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD Canon versus competition | Conclusion |
In our first comparison, with an overall DxOMark Score of 24 the Tamron matches the high-regarded $1,900 Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8G ED but can't quite match the category leader, the optically awesome but costly $2,300 Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L II USM.
Looking at the Lens Metrics Scores for Transmission, Distortion, Vignetting and Chromatic Aberration it would seem the Tamron should be ahead, but they don't tell the whole story.
Look at the overall DxOMark Score and the linear scale and gauge behind it. The score is an average result based on the lens performance over the various focal lengths (when tested on a specific camera), and the blue-color gauge shows the range of results.
If the gauge is wider, or larger, as it is for both the Tamron and Nikon lenses, it means the performance isn't consistent at each focal length. Notice the narrow range of results for the Canon lens, it's a simply a superb performer throughout the zoom range. In the case of the Tamron, and Nikon in this instance, both lenses show a noticeable loss of sharpness in the mid-to-longer focal lengths, and not only in the centre of the frame but also at the edges and corners.
One area where the Tamron surpasses both the formidable Canon and the Nikon lens is in the control of troublesome lateral chromatic aberration. Like the pricier Canon and Nikon zooms, the Tamron has a complex optical formula including multiple low-dispersion (SLD in Tamron parlance) glass elements, three molded aspheric and one-double sided aspheric element but the result is the Tamron has the lowest chromatic aberration of the three. Perhaps not surprisingly, the heaviest effects when visible occur at its widest setting over the f/2.8-8.0 range.
Despite taking 82mm filters it's the most compact at 108.5mm in length but falls between the two in weight at 825g (the Canon is 113mm in length, weighs 805g, and takes similar size filters whereas the Nikkor has a 77mm filter thread measures 133mm front to back and weighs in at 900g).
In our final comparison, we've pitched the Tamron with the recently announced Canon EF 24-70mm f4L IS USM. Although it has stabilization and an ultrasonic motor it's more compact at 93mm in length, takes 77mm filters and weighs just 600g. However, it loses a stop of light and retails for $1,499. With low levels of CA, vignetting and distortion the new mid-speed Canon is a good performer optically, but it has some off-axis softness wide-open particularly at 50mm.
Our other contender should be no stranger to Tamron, Sigma is largest independent lens maker in Japan and has offered a couple of 24-70mm f2.8 designs. The latest, the 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG IF HSM has the usual exotic mix of glass, standard 0.38m minimum focus distance and has an ultrasonic motor for fast near silent AF and takes 82mm filters, but it lacks any form of image stabilization. However, at 790g it's the lightest of the f2.8 models and at $899 it's the most modestly priced. It has very high central sharpness at the wider end at maximum aperture that improves across the frame on stopping down but sharpness drops off quite dramatically at 50mm. It has also has heavier barrel distortion and higher levels of chromatic aberration.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website |
The Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is distinguished by being the first fast standard zoom for full frame cameras to include optical image stabilization. The fact that it does so in a design that includes a ring-type ultrasonic motor for fast, silent autofocus and a degree of weathersealing (Tamron uses the term 'drip-proof'), all at a significantly lower price than Canon's non-stabilized EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM that was announced around the same time, might lead you to think suspect must be some serious compromise involved in its design. But there isn't. Read the article |

ERROR: DXO Mark for Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 on 5D Mark III
How can the Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 have a DXO Mark Score of 24 on the Canon 5D Mark II, but be significantly lower on the Canon 5D Mark III? It seems the data is incorrect. Please look into this.

2.8 transmission?
how is it possible that a f2.8 lense has a t-stop of 2.8? and why only on canon (for ex. 5d3) and on nikon (for ex. d800) it is 3.2?
thank you! Reply |

Re: Tamron vs Nikon lens comparison
After holiday sales, I got D600 with 24-85mm VR lens and very happy with my choice of full frame DSLR and quality of the lens. Since than I am checking daily your website with hope to get DXOmark scores on that lens on D600 or D3X. There are a lot of those lens used and tested already with conflicting reports from different testing websites on quality of that lens. My friend bought 5D Mark III with 24-70mm 2.8L lens and we went to photo trip together. When we compared and discussed photos from that trip we agreed that overall quality of the equilalent photos is very close. Being an engineer I am waiting for numerical confirmation. I am pretty sure that the scores will be high. I generally agree with your testing results and your test data are are helping me in my future lens selection.

Just a bit confused
Emilie, says "The reason is that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm looses some sharpness in the field, where it is outperformed by the other ones."
Something is being lost in translation. In what field ??? How can a lens that is rated sharp loose sharpness when you take it outside into a field ??? Please clarify. Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

I am sorry, I indeed lost myself in translation :) I meant that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm tends to be less sharp in the center of the (visual) field; it's its great weakness comparing to the other lenses. I hope it is clearer! Best, Emilie Reply |

24-70 comparison
Just having difficulty figuring out how the Sony CZ 24-70 scores low compared to these 3? Sharpness is higher than all 3, transmission is in line with both Canon and Nikon, distortion is at the top level along with the Tamron, vignetting it beats all 3, and CA is the same as the Canon (right between the other two). This should put is slightly in front of the pack, but then read about the 'blue bar range' for different FL - ok so here it seems about on par or maybe a little better than the Tamron and Nikon, but not as good as the Canon.
So how does it score a 21 when it exceeds certainly at the very least the Nikon (where it equals or beats it in all metrics) and the Nikon gets a 24 overall score? I know these are tested on different cameras, but how does that effect the weightings? Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: 24-70 comparison
The reason is that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm looses some sharpness in the field, where it is outperformed by the other ones. Best, Emilie Reply |

Comments about THULE 626 Force XXL Cargo Box:
We now winter in Florida and summer in Vermont and tow a boat in both directions. The Thule 626 Force was the answer to hauling all of our cloths and one piece fishing poles. The trip is about 1500 miles and we were not bothered by turbulance noise from the cargo box. About 1/3 cup of rain water entered the box in several hours of heavy rain. Our speed was between 60 and 75 mph and I don't know if wanting it to be completely dry was asking too much. Since all the clothes were packed in tight plastic bags there was no harm done. I recommend the 626 Force and would puchase again.

Comments On Nov 29, 2014:So far 300 plus miles of abuse, 20 of it flat on the rim lock after a pinch flat. Tire is still in great shape. Northern California Mtn riding conditions were all steep rocky wet single and double track abuse on hills and generally disrespecting the tire. holding up great. Traction is surprisingly good for a harder terrain tire. I will buy again. This is my second. got about 500 miles of abuse out of the first one in same terrain. Still had a few more in it but wanted a fresh tire to roost my buddy with so I changed it. Got about 175 miles out of an MX51 in same terrain /riding. Not much difference in performance between the 2.

Comments On Nov 14, 2014:rear tires work fine and hold up well in rocks and iowa hard pack. the fronts hold up well and handle just fine in iowa hard pack but I ruined 1 in the Colorado rocks. the knobs are rounded or chunked like ive seen happen on other tires but they were instead breaking off at the base of the knob and ripping deep enough to expose cords and start leaking tire slime out of every other shoulder lug. I run tubliss and that's why theres tire slime leaking. happy in dirt. not happy in rocks.

Comments On Aug 27, 2014:Theres a reason many riders choose Dunlop tires!! Theres a reason many of the top AMA Riders prefer Dunlop tires. These tires hook up great of the start, and hook up great out of the corners to get the power where you need it. The grip these tires have is incredible you can drag handlebars and not have to worry about washing out the front end. Best tires money can buy and the only tires ill ever use on my bike. I have ridden Maxxis on this bike, and Michelin and Bridgestone on the CR 125 i used to haveâ?¦Dunlop blows the competition out of the water.

Comments On Jun 15, 2014:Good tire if the ground has some moisture in it. On blue groove it skates far too much when leaned over to be classified as hard terrain. Great braking traction
