Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but......... 13) Carl Cheffers' officiating crew is by far the worst in the NFL- they had the Saints-Redskins game, when a side judge blew his whistle stopping a Carolina run, even though he never stepped on the right sideline. When the crew huddled up to decide what to do, they gave Carolina the TD, figuring he would've scored even if the Redskin defenders hadn't stopped because of the whistle. Don't think that's what supposed to happen. This same crew was also on the Chargers-Saints Sunday night game last month, when even NBC's Cris Collinsworth was taken aback by some of the calls in the Saints' favor late in the game. 12) As if New Jersey hasn't had a cruddy enough time lately, a small earthquake hit the Garden State very late Sunday night. Only a 2.0, but still, enough already. 11) Its possible that Saints' coach Sean Payton could be a free agent after this season, since the NFL voided the contract he signed last year. Imagine how Saints fans will react if Payton goes to…say, Dallas? there is no salary cap for coaches, and don't think Jerry Jones doesn't have his checkbook ready. 10) What Jones should be doing is hiring a real football guy to replace himself as GM. He's awful, and it is obviously hurting the team. Great promoter, great businessman, amateur personnel guy. 9) Arizona Cardinals' QB coach is John McNulty, who had been the WRs coach the last three years; he was replaced as WRs coach by Frank Reich, who was Jim Kelly's backup QB in Buffalo, but who also engineered two of the biggest comeback wins in football history, once while in college at Maryland, the other in that memorable playoff game for Buffalo against the Houston Oilers. Wouldn't it make more sense if the former NFL QB was the QB coach, and McNulty stayed coaching WRs? Arizona desperately needs their QBs to play better; you'd think someone who has walked in their shoes might be more able to help Skelton/Kolb through difficult times. 8) Rumors have free agent slugger Josh Hamilton asking for seven years, $175M. Good luck there. Problems are this: Hamilton will be 32 in May. He has played more than 133 games twice in six big league seasons. He is a recovering drug addict who is one bad night away from a year's suspension, and he also struggles in day games. Hamilton says its because medication he takes do something to his eyes that make it tougher to play well in sunlight. Whatever. You're giving him $22M a year? I don't think so. Put it this way; the guy who has Hamilton in my sons 16-team keeper fantasy league tried very hard all season to unload him, and no one would bite. 7) Before last week, I had never heard of Marshall McDougall, but he was a AA prospect the A's traded for reliever Ricardo Rincon at the 2002 trading deadline; it is the scene in Moneyball when Billy Beane tells the A's cheapskate owner that he'll pay for Rincon out of his own pocket, but when he sells him down the road, he gets to keep the profit. Anyway, McDougall never gets mentioned in the movie, but I looked him up; he made the big leagues with Texas in 2005, going 3-18 in a brief big league stint. He is still playing ball; he hit .341 in 145 AB's in Mexican League this past summer, a full decade after he was traded for Rincon. Would be a good story if he made it back to the big leagues someday. 6) Odd stat this week; NFL teams usually have about 10 possessions per game; Chargers only had six Thursday night, because they had two defensive TD's, other possessions by both teams were sustained drives. In Tennessee's ugly 51-20 loss to the Bears, Titans had the ball eight times…..in the first quarter alone!!! I've never seen anything close to that before. Three turnovers and a blocked punt dug them a 28-2 hole they never came close to getting out of. 5) In their last five games, Denver has outsacked opponents 17-2, 10-0 in the last three. 4) 49ers were +28 in turnovers last year, an extraordinary number- they went 13-3; halfway thru this season, the Bears are +16. Any wonder why they're 7-1? 3) Over the first seven weeks of the NFL season, there was only one game with no turnovers in it; in last two weeks, there have been five; either offenses are getting better, or defenses are wearing down. 2) I dislike politics a lot, but it is baffling to me how Mr Romney can run for President and not do a commercial where he, and only he, speaks to the American public on why he should be President. Why would he not do this? Who is advising him? What makes them think we should vote for him? Although you know I didnt vote for Obama. Are they just counting on people voting against the incumbent? Seems like an odd way to run an operation that is playing for very high stakes. 1) That said, please get out and vote today, no matter who you vote for; it's the least we can do as citizens, to exercise the freedoms people risk their lives to protect.
Make post sticky on:
The Worst of Week Nine not counting my surgery ESPN's Marathon Analyst - Yes, this is a real position who was on Sportscenter on Friday crying about the New York Marathon being canceled while the Knicks and Giants games were not. It's because watching people run is pointless while the NBA and NFL are awesome. Eat shit, runners. People that think that Sean Payton is going elsewhere - Oh Christ, what a dumb story this is. So the NFL is ignoring Payton's contract extension for whatever reason so now he will be a free agent after the season. Why would he go anywhere else? Sane people don't leave Drew Brees to go coach Tony Romo. Jimmy HarBRAH - We're a little late on this but his "gobble gobble jive turkey" quotes are absolutely fucking insane. But it makes total sense to a dickhead that refuses safeties. Jim HarBRAH is a nutjob. Pacman Jones - His blatant pass interference in the endzone followed by asshole celebration followed by the realization that his flag was thrown and him acting like he was wronged was just the best. I am so happy that Pacman is still in the league. Andy Dalton clock management - When you're down by 11 points with 2 minutes left, running the ball is probably not the best idea. London Fletcher - Ugh, nice fucking loss to the Panthers and never actually being in the game. That's always fun to get your shit stuffed by a completely terrible team with a coach that is just begging to get fired and likely carries a switchblade at all times. I'm a Fletcher fan and he's had a great career but he has been brutal all season long. The Redskins are terrible. I hope that the Rams enjoy two top ten picks. Barack Obama - YOU LOSE, FOOL! The Redskins just doomed you good! At least you're a Bears fan and don't support this awful franchise! Unless your opponent is John Kerry (which he might be) then there is no reason to campaign any longer. No need to vote now, everybody, because the Redskins just ended the drama. Brandon Weeden - The most talented player in the league was back to his usual bad self yesterday in a game that they absolutely should have won. Just remember, everyone, that at this time next year the Browns will be UNDEFEATED. Jordy Nelson - Biggest pussy in the league? I was all fired up when he was activated and then this honky gash gets hurt in the first quarter. BOO WHITES. Remember when Arizona was undefeated? That was hilarious. They might not win another game. Everyone else compared to the Bears Defense - The Bears D has scored EIGHT fucking touchdowns this year. EIGHT! When I said that Matty Ice and Peyton were the first half fantasy MVPs this year, I meant that the Bears Defense is the fantasy MVP this year. BEARS SICK. Ryan Tannehill - That was an enjoyable game between two surprise contenders but Tannehill was pretty awful in the final two drives. He seemed to prefer overthrowing his receivers by 4000 feet instead of completing passes. Andrew Luck's hair - I don't know what the hell is going on with that bird's nest but it is ridiculous. People trying to stop Adrian Peterson and Doug Martin - Good God, these two guys can not be slowed down. Peterson is a damn stud and Martin is on a run that is rarely seen. That ref in Indy - Yelling GOD DAMMIT into an open mic is always terrific. Terry Bradshaw - Reggie Bush was chasing a bucket of chicken? Yeah, you're going to get in trouble for that, hayseed. GAMBLING! - I had another monster Saturday and Sunday. If Radwoodson is reading this, tell them the truth and the spooky magic.
In case you missed this: Wrapping up an NFL Sunday........ 13) There will be articles written on how the Giants are struggling and can they regain last year's championship swagger, but think about it, a lot of the players had their homes flooded this week-- you expected them to play a strong game this week? Last year's championship team was 7-7 at one point, by the way; this is a better team, just remains to be seen if they'll get hot at the right time. 12) People continue to be unimpressed by the 8-0 Falcons, which is the best thing for the 8-0 Falcons. Less scrutiny, less pressure, easier to win. 11) Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano seems like kind of a jerk, but he's done a good job with this year's Buccaneers, who had 278 rushing yards, 237 passing in a wild 42-32 win at Oakland. Bucs lost their last ten games LY, are now 4-4 this year. Funny thing is, Schiano wouldn't let his QB take a knee at the end until the last play, when they took a knee out of the shotgun, not with the QB under center. Schiano had his players take a shot at Eli Manning earlier this year when the Giants were taking a knee; was he concerned with reprisal? 10) Six teams were +2 or better in turnovers this week; all six won, all six covered, with Tampa Bay the only underdog of the six. Four of those six teams had a field position advantage of 10+ yards; those four, along with Steelers (+12) and Packers (+15)-- they all covered, too. Problem is, you can't handicap when turnovers will happen. When Chicago stops forcing turnovers, thats when they'll get upset. 9) Chicago Bears scored six TDs Sunday; one on a blocked punt, one by the defense, and four by the offense, on drives of 8-16-65-2 yards. 8) Seattle paid $13M to sign Packers' backup QB Matt Flynn, but he has no chance of playing, now that Russell Wilson seems entrenched as the Seahawks' starter; shouldn't they trade Flynn to a team that really needs a QB, say.....the Chiefs or Jaguars? They really can't trade him to Arizona, since they're a division rival, but the Cardinals really need a quarterback, too. 7) Speaking of which, Jets needed to trade Tim Tebow to Jacksonville. It would liberate Mark Sanchez from excessive scrutiny, it would sell a lot of tickets in northern Florida, and it would just make sense. 6) Denver is 5-3. Indianapolis is 5-3; how weird would it be if the Colts and Denver met in a playoff game in January? 5) If you didn't see Colts' coach Chuck Pagano address his team after their game Sunday, check it out here. Very emotional, very real. Our thoughts and prayers are with the coach, who is fighting a treatable form of leukemia. 4) Redskins' biggest problem with Robert Griffin III is going to be keeping him in one piece; he's terrific, but he takes too many big hits. '3) NFC teams were 3-1 against the AFC Sunday, with Steelers the only AFC team to win. Lions-Bears-Bucs all posted fairly easy wins. So far in 2012, NFC teams are 23-12 against the AFC. 2) Home teams are 6-7 vs spread this week, favorites 9-4, over 7-6-1; there were 107 explosive plays (4.12 per team). Teams are averaging 4.77 points per red zone drive this week, and that includes the Bills and Cowboys. 1) Is there a more overrated sports franchise than the Cowboys? TV still treats them like they're the best team in the NFL. Truth is, since '97, they're 1-6 in playoff games. Thats fifteen years.
Wednesday's six-pack Some NFL trends to consider with Week 10 on the horizon........ -- Titans covered three of their last thirteen games. -- Dolphins are 6-19 in last 25 games as a home favorite. -- Bengals are 1-7-1 vs spread in last nine home games. -- Falcons covered 16 of their last 23 road games. -- Jaguars are 3-9-1 vs spread in last 13 home games. -- Vikings are 4-9 in last thirteen games as a home dog.
Wednesday's List of 13: Our NFL List of 9, CF List of 4..... 4) Notre Dame—BC/Wake Forest are all that's between them and a big game at USC later this month. 3) Kansas State—How bad is Klein's wrist/arm injury? No one in Little Apple is talking. 2) Oregon—Ducks vs Crimson Tide would be best national title matchup. 1) Alabama—Escaped Baton Rouge by skin of their teeth, but that's all you have to do. 9) Buccaneers—Vincent Jackson's old team comes to town this week; Jackson's absence has really hurt Chargers, revitalized improving Bucs. 8) Steelers—The fake field goal was an abomination, but they won, so no one cares. Todd Haley sees his old team Monday night when Chiefs come calling. 7) Broncos—Peyton Manning bought 21 Papa John's pizza outlets in Denver; his wife is listed as a part owner of the Memphis Grizzlies. What do these people give each other for Christmas? 6) Packers—Rodgers completed less than half his passes vs Arizona, but Pack covered double digit spread anyway. 5) 49ers—Jimmer Fredette's minutes in Kings' first four games: 0-15-0-2; they need to trade the kid if they don't want to play him. 4) Patriots— In last decade, average score in their second meeting of year with Buffalo: 32-8. Average score of first meeting: 28-20. 2a) Texans—Super Bowl preview with Bears Sunday night? 2a) Bears-- +16 turnover ratio has totally taken heat off what has been a shaky offense. 1) Falcons—You play eight, you win eight, that makes you #1 on this list. They've lost five of last six visits to Superdome, though.
Week 10 NFL Analysis Colts (5-3) @ Jaguars (1-7)—Indy playing inspired football for disabled coach Pagano (leukemia) who visited team Sunday, winning four of last five games, last three all by 4 or less points, or in OT; they've lost last two visits here, 31-28/19-13- last year was first time Jags ever swept season series. Series was split in five of last six years. Indy allowed 41-22-35 points in its losses; they're 4-0 allowing less than 22 points, a figure Jax has yet to hit at home this year. Jags' only win this year came on 80-yard pass in last 2:00 at Indy, after Colts had just grabbed lead; they only had 148 passing yards the whole game. Jax lost five games in row (2-3 vs spread) since- they're 0-4 at home (0-4 vs spread) losing by average score of 32-6. Home underdogs are 6-9 vs spread in divisional games so far this season. Three of last four Jaguar games went over total; under is 4-2-1 in Colts' last seven games. Bills (3-5) @ Patriots (5-3)—If you go back a decade, average score of second Bill-Patriot game each year has been 32-8 Pats; average score in first meetings, 28-20. Patriots trailed first meeting 14-7 at half in Buffalo, then exploded in second half for 52-28 win, their 22nd in last 24 series games; Bills lost last eight visits here, with five of last seven by 10 or less points. Buffalo lost four of its last five games; only one of its five losses was by less than 12 points- they're 1-4 as underdogs this year, 1-3 on road. NE won four of last five games, forcing 15 turnovers (+9) in those games, after forcing only five in first three; they're 1-2 as home favorites. In its last four wins, Patriots ran ball for 131+ yards; Bills allowed an average of 211 rushing yards in their last five games. Home favorites are 7-14 vs spread in divisional games this season. Last six Patriot games all went over the total. Giants (6-3) @ Bengals (3-5)—Cincy lost to Peyton Manning last week; younger brother Eli visits here, in series where home team is 8-0, with Giants losing all five visits to Cincinnati (four of five losses by 5 or less points). Bengals lost last four games (0-4 vs spread), with three of the four at home, allowing 34-24-31 points in last three games; they're 2-3 as underdogs, 0-2 at home. Last three Giant games were all decided by 5 or less points; they're 2-2 on road (4-0 vs spread), 2-4 vs spread as favorites, 1-0 on road. Underdogs covered seven of their nine games this year. Red flag for NJ: they've completed only 25 of 53 passes in last two games, scoring two TDs on 21 drives- they had defensive TD in each game. NFC East non-divisional favorites are 3-11 against spread, 1-4 on road; AFC North underdogs are 5-6, 2-2 at home. Three of four Giant road games stayed under the total. Chargers (4-4) @ Bucs (4-4)— Being 4-4 depends on your outlook; Tampa fans are thrilled to be .500 after losing last 10 games LY; some Charger fans are calling for Norv Turner's head because he's 4-4. Bucs' WR Vincent Jackson left SD for Tampa and has invigorated Tampa passing game that averaged 6.9+ yards/attempt in each of last five games, during which time they averaged 33.2 ppg (20 TD's on 59 drives, 31 plays of 20+ yards). Bolts had three extra days after Thursday night win that snapped three-game; they're 2-2 on road, but lost at Saints/Browns in last two- they're 0-1 as dogs this year. San Diego won eight of nine series games, including all five played here, but Bucs won their only Super Bowl on Chargers' home field. NFC South home favorites are 5-6 vs spread outside their division; AFC West road underdogs are 2-5. Four of last five Charger games, and last five Tampa Bay games all went over the total. Broncos (5-3) @ Panthers (2-6)—John Fox returns to Charlotte to coach against team that (stupidly) let him walk two years ago, because they didn't want to pay him what he's worth; Denver is on roll, winning/covering last three games, scoring 35-34-31 points. Broncos scored 31+ points in all five wins, 21-25-21 in losses. Carolina lost five of last six games, but held three of last four opponents under 20 points; they're 0-4 vs spread when scoring 14 or less points, 4-0 when they score 21+. Panthers lost last three home games, scoring average of just 11 ppg (3 TD's on 30 drives). Home side won all three games in series; Broncos lost only visit here, 30-10 four years ago. AFC west non-divisional favorites are 4-5 vs spread, 1-2 on road; NFC South teams are 16-8 vs spread outside their division, 9-2 as underdogs, 0-1 at home. Three of last four Bronco games went over; three of last four Panther games stayed under. Titans (3-6) @ Dolphins (4-4)—You'll get spirited effort from Tennessee here after 51-20 home debacle vs Bears last week, after which octogenarian owner Bud Adams basically threatened everyone in organization; five of Titans' six losses are by 23 points- they're 1-3 on road, pulling out 35-34 win at Buffalo in last road trip, but losing first three by 28-24-23 points (1-3 as road dog). Five of well-coached Dolphins' last six games were decided by 4 or less points; Fish are 0-2 as favorites this year (both games were decided by 3 points) as underdogs covered six of their eight games, including last five. After running ball for 263-185 yards in Weeks 2-3, Dolphins averaged just 70.8 yards on ground over last five games. Miami won eight of last 11, three of last four series games; Titans lost six of last seven visits here, dropping last three by 14-3-12 points. AFC East non-divisional favorites are 6-5, 3-3 at home; AFC South underdogs are 9-8, 4-4 on road. Under is 3-0-1 in last four Miami games. Raiders (3-5) @ Ravens (6-2)—Baltimore won six of seven series games, but teams haven't met since '09; Raiders are 0-4 here, losing 28-6/29-10 in last two visits, last of which was in '08. Oakland got run over last week by Bucs' Martin, who had 265 yards on ground before giving few away on kneeldowns in last minute; they're 1-3 on road, covering last two, but losing three of four, with losses by 22-31-3 points, and only win at 1-7 Chiefs.. Ravens' 137 rushing yards last week was season high; they're 4-0 at home, but 1-3 as home favorites, winning by 31-1-7-2 points at home. Baltimore allowed 24-43 points in its two losses; they had 26 plays of 20+ yards in first four games, only 11 in last four- they need more to protect injury-riddled defense. AFC North non-divisional favorites are 2-8 vs spread, 2-4 at home; AFC West underdogs are 4-7, 2-5 on road. Three of four Raven home games, five of last seven Oakland games went over the total. Falcons (8-0) @ Saints (3-5)—New Orleans won 10 of last 12 games in one of NFL's best rivalries (teams came into NFL a year apart), with five of last seven games decided by 4 or less points; Atlanta lost five of last six visits here, but are 8-0 this year, allowing only 15.3 ppg in four road wins (all vs teams with .500 or worse records, but Saints are 3-5). Saints won three of last four games, but wasn't impressed by Monday night win over freefalling Eagles; loss of multi-purpose back Sproles (hand) hampers their quick passes out of backfield. Atlanta scored 17 TD's on 54 drives in first five games, only five on 30 in last three, but they keep winning. Saints are 3-1 when they score 28+ points, 0-4 when they don't; Falcons allowed 16.8 ppg in last four games; they've allowed more than 24 points once (Carolina) this year. Underdogs covered three of first four NFC South divisional games this year. Three of last four Falcon games stayed under the total. Lions (4-4) @ Vikings (4-5)—Minnesota was outgained 341-227, didn't score offensive TD, but had two TD's on special teams in 20-13 (+3.5) win at Detroit in Week 4, just second win in last five games vs Lions, after they won 21 of previous 24 series games. Detroit's 26-23 OT win here LY was their first in last 14 visits here; they're 3-1 since bye, scoring 8 TD's on 17 drives in last two games, with six of eight TD drives 80+ yards. Lions are 4-1 when they score 26+ points, 0-3 when they don't; Vikings allowed 29.5 ppg in last four games, after giving up 15.8 in first five. Minnesota QB Ponder looked lost at Seattle last week, when Vikes lost by 10 despite running ball for 243 yards; Ponder's averaged 2.2/6.0/1.7 ypa in last three games. Detroit has run ball for 117.5 ypg since the bye, after averaging 90.3 in first four games, so they're making effort to take heat off Stafford by running ball better. Three of last four games for both sides went over the total. Jets (3-5) @ Seahawks (5-4)—Much like Giants last week, Jet players have had to deal with hurricane-related issues to their homes, so long road trip west could help them re-focus; they've won eight of last ten series games, after losing first seven games with Seattle- they're 3-4 in Pacific Northwest. Seattle much better team at home (4-0, scoring 23.8 ppg) with wins over Packers/Patriots; speedy WRs Tate/Rice allowed Wilson to become more dangerous improvising out of pocket. Curious to see how Jets change approach after getting drilled 30-9 by Miami in last pre-bye game, when normally reliable special teams fell apart in first quarter. NFC West teams are 13-10 vs spread in non-divisional games, 5-5 as favorites, 4-4 at home; AFC East teams are 12-10 vs spread, 7-6 on road, 4-4 as road dogs. Three of last four Seattle games went over total. Many moons ago, Pete Carroll was once HC of the Jets. Cowboys (3-5) @ Eagles (3-5)—Do struggling teams have home advantage? Home folks ain't happy with Iggles, who allowed Vick to get sacked seven times in 28-13 loss to Saints Monday night—could be that Reid's long (and largely successful) run as Eagles' coach is nearing an end, since Philly lost last three games, allowing 26-30-28 points- three of their four home games have been decided by 3 or less points, and now they face hated Pokes on short work week. Dallas lost four of last five games, with last three losses all by 6 or less points; they've run ball for just 169 yards on 66 carries (2.56 per carry) in last three games. Philly scored 20+ points in only two games this year, and lost both of those. Home teams are 0-4 vs spread (2-2 SU) in NFC East divisional games this season. Four of five Dallas road games stayed under total; three of four Eagle home games went over. Iggles won three of last four series games, but Dallas is 4-3 in last seven visits here. Rams (3-5) @ 49ers (6-2)—Niners are bully team, allowing 6 or less points in four of last five games, but they're just 2-2 when they allow more than 6 points; curious to see if Rams' patchwork OL can give Bradford enough time to move chains with favorite target Amendola back in lineup. SF won seven of last eight series games, winning last four played here by average score of 30-9. St Louis lost last three games, scoring four TD's on last 27 drives; they're 2-2 as road underdogs, but haven't forced a turnover in last three games (-4) after forcing nine (+2) in first five games. Niners scored 13-3 points in their two losses, running ball for just 89-80 yards; they're 6-0 when they don't lose the turnover battle, and are 2-2 as home favorites, with home wins by 8-4-27 points and a loss to the Giants. Underdogs covered four of first five NFC West divisional games. Six of last seven 49er games stayed under the total. Texans (7-1) @ Bears (7-1)—Possible Super Bowl preview with both teams' only loss to Green Bay; Bears are setting unreal pace of forcing turnovers, with 28 in eight games; Chicago is already +16 in turnover ratio halfway through season- they've scored eight TD's on defense/special teams in last six games, masking an offense with a suspect offensive line. Houston is underdog for first time this year- they're 3-0 on road, with wins at Broncos/Jets/Jags. Texans turned ball over six times (-6) in only loss; they only have three other turnovers all season (+5 for year). Houston won both series meetings, 24-5 here in 2004, 31-24 at home four years ago. NFC North non-divisional home favorites are 6-7 vs spread; AFC South road underdogs are 4-4. Four of last six Houston games, four of last five Bear games went over the total. NFC teams have turned table on AFC this year, with a xx-xx advantage in interconference games so far. Chiefs (1-7) @ Steelers (5-3)—Pittsburgh OC Haley was dumped as Chiefs' HC during last season; hard feelings exist between him and KC front office. KC coach Crennel hired former Oklahoma HC Gibbs to be new DC during bye week, with Crennel becoming more of overseer of program; Chiefs lost last five games (1-4 vs spread), scoring two offensive TD's on last 42 drives- they still haven't led any game in regulation this season, and were down 24-6 in only game they've won. Steelers won/covered last three games, allowing only four TD's on 28 drives; they rallied from 10 down in 4th quarter to win in Swamp last week. This is just Chiefs' second visit to Pittsburgh since '89; their last was a 45-6 loss in 2006. Steelers won last meeting 13-9 LY at Arrowhead. AFC North teams are 2-8 vs spread as non-divisional favorites, 2-4 at home; AFC West non-divisional underdogs are 4-7, 2-5 on foreign soil. Six of eight Chief games went over total; four of last five Steeler games stayed under.
Thursday's six-pack Some NFL trends to consider with Week 10 on the horizon........ -- Patriots covered six of their last nine post-bye games. -- Giants covered 16 of their last 21 as a road favorite. -- Jets covered eight of last ten post-bye games. -- Buccaneers are 8-20 vs spread in last 28 home games. -- Carolina is 0-5 in last five non-divisional home games. -- Chiefs are 12-6 vs spread when a double digit underdog.
Thursday's List of 13: Random stuff on a warm, breezy Florida day........ 13) Jason Bay is my new hero; he was owed $21M by the Mets, but is now a free agent, after Bay agreed to defer some of the money owed him. He is free to sign with another team, after hitting .165 in 70 games with the Mets last season. I'll repeat this; the guy hit freakin' .165, and gets $21M to go away!!!! 12) Maryland Terrapins got some excellent news Wednesday; Xavier transfer Dez Wells, tossed out of school at Xavier for an off-court incident that many people say he got railroaded on, was declared immediately eligible for the Terps, which really helps them. Maryland plays Kentucky Friday, so they'll need all the help they can get. 11) Underrated election result Tuesday; apparently Puerto Rico voted that they would like to become the 51st state in the union. If that happens, which major leaguer will be the first to change his number to 51, the way Hawai'ian Sid Fernandez used to wear #50 for the Mets? 10) There are 127 I-A college football teams; 27 of them (21.8%) changed head coaches after LY. Two (Kentucky/Idaho) have already fired their HC this year, but the carnage is expected to fall well short of 27 this winter. 9) I had no idea Virginia is only state in our country where the governor is allowed only one term. I would think with a one-term person in charge, six years would be better than four, but thats just me. 8) Former Notre Dame/North Carolina/SMU hoop coach Matt Doherty will try his hand at TV this winter, working games on ESPNU. Always interesting to listen to ex-coaches work games. 7) Houston Cougars have an awful defense; in their last three games, opponents have converted 33 of 55 (60%) 3rd down plays. That's terrible. 6) Over their last four games, UConn Huskies have been outscored 49-3 in the second half, a different problem than Maryland, which has been outscored 40-3 in the first half of their last three games. Neither is good. 5) NFL games are the top 14 rated TV shows in primetime so far this TV season; #15 is the season premiere of NCIS, starring former UCLA QB Mark Harmon. 4) Not sure if I mentioned this already, but Mark McGwire, who quietly is a pretty good hitting coach, left the Cardinals for the same job with the Dodgers. McGwire hit a walk-off HR against the Dodgers in the '88 World Series, in the only game the A's won. 3) Saints' GM Mickey Loomis is back in the office this week, his eight-game suspension over; not sure how he could be totally have been stopped from working, if he and team employees used their own private cellphones and such. No more worries about that; now all Loomis has to do is get coach Sean Payton under contract for next year and beyond. 2) I thought it never rained in San Diego? Friday's Syracuse-San Diego State hoop game, scheduled to be played on the deck of an aircraft carrier, has to been moved to Sunday at 4:00 because of rain expected for Friday. 1) Longtime Texas Longhorn football coach Darrell Royal passed away this week at age 88; Texas was a dominant team under Royal- one of his best players was QB James Street, father of major league relief pitcher Huston Street. To honor Coach Royal's memory, Texas will run the first play of this week's game from the wishbone formation, which was the offense of choice during Royal's heydey. Pretty cool.
Like the game tonight but it still scares me. So not gonna go all in on it but in case anyone cares. NFL INDY COLTS -3 INDY COLTS/JAX JAGUARS UNDER 44 POINTS Again not going all in but playing them in round robins and some small straight wagers. GL
Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend outside of some relief from all this pain and discomfort I am having post-op........ 13) Broncos' coach John Fox goes back to Charlotte this week; he led the Panthers to their only Super Bowl appearance, but was allowed to walk after the 2010 season, in a cost-cutting measure. Sunday Fox gets a measure of revenge. 12) UCLA opens refurbished Pauley Pavilion tonight against Indiana State, the only school John Wooden coached at before moving west. Little eerie that UCLA never redid Pauley until after Wooden passed away. I'm curious to see how the places looks now. 11) Kansas State QB Collin Klein appeared to have a right arm/wrist injury last week, but no one in Manhattan is talking; 7.5-point spread at TCU says Klein will play. 10) Lakers are 1-4 and Steve Nash has a broken bone in his leg; curious to see if Mike Brown can hang onto his job until Christmas. 9) Mark Sanchez played for Pete Carroll at USC, now he'll play against him in Seattle Sunday. When Sanchez left school early, Carroll said he should've played another year at USC. Tension ensued. Seahawks are a much better team at home. Sanchez was a better QB two years ago. 8) West Virginia allowed 49-55-39 points in last three games; they won a game this year when allowing 63 points—how many they giving up at pass-happy Oklahoma State this week? WV's DC DeForest worked for OSU for 11 years, as did Holgorson two years ago. 7) College basketball tips off this weekend with three games on various battleships, and one on an Air Force base in Germany. Outside shooting takes on a whole new meaning when the game actually is….outdoors. 6) Perception Bowl in Tampa: Everyone's happy with the improving 4-4 Bucs, while San Diego is 4-4 and some Charger fans want to fire Norv Turner. WR Vincent Jackson is an ex-Charger and a huge part of the Bucs' turnaround. 5) How will Alabama/LSU bounce back against capable foes the week after an emotional, last-second Alabama win? Tigers weren't playing that well before last week, then they played a great game against Bama but let it slip away late. 4) Knicks are NBA's lone remaining unbeaten team; last time that happened was 1959. Hell, they hadn't been 2-0 since 2000. Knicks-Mavs Friday night should be fun. 3) Falcons are 8-0, but have lost five of last six visits to Superdome. Saints won three of last four games, but hardly looked impressive in dispatching freefalling Eagles Monday night. 2) Louisville Cardinals are quietly 9-0, with five wins by 7 or less points; they're less than a FG favorite at Syracuse, where they've won three of last four visits. Cards' QB Bridgewater is one of most underrated players in country. 1) Texans-Bears could be a Super Bowl preview, but then you look at these 7-1 teams, and both clubs lost to Green Bay, so maybe the Packers will go win the Super Bowl. Still way too early to tell.

Hi. I have been monitoring phoronix for the past 5 months and this is my first comment. I have already downloaded and tried the 4th release of KDE.
So far I have not been pleased with this release.
Hopefully this is because I have installed KDE4 onto a mythbuntu system that had gnome preinstalled (essentially a dirty system - which was not configured to be used with KDE4). I will try installing it onto a clean system and retesting this. If any of my issues remain after the retest, I will be sure to post some bug reports.
The main issues I had were that the desktop icons became widgets and as a result they are buggy. (When I mouse over all of the icons a bunch of them highlight and don't unhighlight - until I go over each one slowly). Also the desktop was extremely slow. The Desktop effects (like rotations and movements) were slow and choppy. (like the CPU was 200% in use. (Yes that is 200%). I had the entire system freeze twice. No buttons would work (ctrl+alt+f1 or ctrl+alt+backspace) - I had to wait 5 minutes an 25 seconds before the system unfroze.
Other than that the issues I experienced and the fact that the icons have now become widgets the desktop looked great, the wall papers were very nice and juicy too.

Infant Jesus of Prague
- 3rd Sunday in May
The popularity of devotion to the Child Jesus grew in Baroque Spain, possibly caused by the visions of Saint Teresa of Avila. Several Spanish sculptures found their way to Prague (in the modern Czech Republic; they were made of wax, ivory, and bronze, and dressed in garments reflecting the aristocratic fashion of the period. The exact origin of the Infant Jesus statue seen today is not known; historical sources point to a 28cm high sculpture of the Holy Child with a bird in his right hand carved c.1340, but other sculptures were also carved by masters throughout Europe in the Middle Ages.
The well-known statue probably came from a monastery in Bohemia, obtained by Dona Isabella Manrique who gave it to her daughter Marie Manrique as a wedding gift, then to Marie's daughter Polyxena as a wedding gift in 1587. In 1628, Lady Polyxena presented the statue to the Carmelites at the Church of the Virgin Mary the Victorious. This statue became known as the Infant Jesus of Prague. It stands 47cm high, with a 2cm base, and has a long gown around the wax body.
Veneration ceased after 1628 when the Carmelites fled Prague ahead of invading Saxons and Swedes. In 1638 a young priest named Cyrillus a Matre Dei returned to Prague and found the statue in the ruins of the church. He cleaned the statue, and placed it in the oratory. While praying before it, he heard the Infant Jesus say, Have pity on Me and I will have pity on you. Give Me My hands and I will give you peace. The more you honour Me, the more I will bless you.
Repairing the statue's hand was a miracle as Father Cyril and his peers had neither the skills to do it themselves, not the funds to hire it done. Father Cyril asked the Our Lady to provide funds. The Divine Infant spoke again, saying Place Me near the entrance of the sacristy and you will receive aid. Cyril did as he was told, and a few days later the statue was fixed by a man who came by the sacristy. With the statue repaired, miracles began to be reported, resulting in an increased veneration of the Holy Child. An altar was built for the image in 1641, and the gold and bejewelled crown on the statue was presented by Bernard Ignatius on 14 January 1651. In 1654 a chapel was completed to house it, and the Infant Jesus was crowned on 4 April 1655 by Archbishop Josef Corta.
Though Prague suffered through wars and unrest, the church and the Infant Jesus chapel were miraculously protected. The altar was rebuilt in 1776 using marble and two huge sculptures of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. The Infant was kept in a glass case standing on a pedestal engraved with crystals, and surrounding the Infant were twenty angels in gold. Since then, copies have been distributed throughout Europe, the Philippines, and the Americas, and devotion has continued to spread.
Devotion to this image is actually devotion to the Child Jesus. It is not idolatry, statue-worship, or any other slander. This is just a popular image, a way to visualize Christ, and bring a concrete form to someone who, for many people, needs to be visualized to be addressed.

A Comparison of Two Ways to Manage Anti-HIV Treatment (The SMART Study)
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to compare two ways of using anti-HIV drugs to help health care providers and patients decide how to best use anti-HIV treatments over many years. Many health care providers now treat patients with daily drugs to keep the viral load as low as possible. This approach helps patients with CD4 counts less than 200-250 cells/mm3 live longer without serious diseases. But it is not known if this is the best way to treat patients with higher CD4 counts. There is information suggesting that these patients may be able to wait to use anti-HIV drugs while CD4 counts are above 250 cells/mm3. Because this study will be carried out over several years, it will provide information on the long-term advantages and disadvantages of these two treatment strategies.

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | A Large, Simple Trial Comparing Two Strategies for Management of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (The SMART Study) |
Estimated Enrollment: | 6000 |
Implementation of antiretroviral treatment (ART) guidelines, which emphasize maximal and durable suppression of viral load for the majority of individuals infected with HIV, has resulted in a substantial decline in morbidity and mortality. However, many asymptomatic patients are not at immediate risk of serious opportunistic diseases, the effectiveness of ART wanes over time due to HIV drug resistance, and there are short- and long-term toxicities of treatment. This motivates a comparison of two strategies: one which conserves treatments by deferring their use while the risk of opportunistic disease is low and one which aims for sustained virologic suppression, irrespective of disease risk.
In this large, long-term trial, patients will be randomly assigned to either the drug conservation (DC) or viral suppression (VS) group. Patients will be enrolled over a 3-year period and followed for an average of 7.5 years. The DC group will stop or defer ART until CD4 cell count declines to below 250 cells/mm3; they will then receive treatment to increase CD4 count to greater than 350 cells/mm3 followed by episodic ART based on CD4 cell count. The VS group will use ART to maintain viral load as low as possible, irrespective of CD4 cell count. Patients will be seen Months 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, then every 4 months for data collection visits.

Area located 9 miles West and 1/4 mile South of Stockton, KS on US Highway 24.
A Google Earth Map is now available for the entire area.
Webster Wildlife Area and Reservoir is located 9 miles west and 1/4 mile south miles of Stockton on US Highway 24. Webster Wildlife Area is primarily a Bureau of Reclamation property that is managed by the Ks. Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and comprises 1,481 acres of water and 8,018 acres of land. Of the 8,018 acres of land, 1,960 acres are owned by the State. The lake dates back to 1957, when the area was purchased and built by the Bureau of Reclamation. The State land was also purchased in 1957.
Webster Wildlife Area encompasses 8,018 acres of public hunting surrounding 1,481 surface acres of water. A variety of wildlife habitats are developed and maintained to enhance wildlife. Situated along the shores of Webster Reservoir, the area offers hunting, fishing, limited camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing opportunities. The Reservoir is located 9 miles west of Stockton, just off highway 24.
Primary sportfish include walleye, wipers, largemouth bass, crappie, channel catfish, and flathead catfish. Smallmouth bass, white bass, and bluegill also provide fine angling opportunities at times.
Seasonal rainbow trout fisheries are maintained in the stilling basin below the dam and in the river directly above the reservoir. Trout are stocked in the stilling basin several times each trout season and are stocked in the river in March of each year when flows are adequate.
Special facilities include an electric fish cleaning station on the north shore of the state park, floating fishing docks in Marina Cove and the Rock Point Cove (when water levels are adequate), and an easy access ramp and pier in the stilling basin.
Length Limits:
- Black bass - 15 inch minimum (reservoir)
- Walleye - 15 inch minimum
Catch and Release: A major factor affecting fish populations is angler harvest. Fishing success continues to improve with better knowledge and equipment. As a result, more restrictive regulations are needed. Voluntary catch and release also extends a limited fish resource. Reduced harvest of small fish allows more fish to reach a larger, more desirable size. Releasing larger fish increases their recreational use and keeps them in the water to help control undesirable fish by predation. A fish released properly is an investment in future fishing opportunities.
Hunting pressure can be heavy on the wildlife area. Hunts after November and during mid-week may be less crowded. Primary game species include pheasants, quail, deer, turkey, and waterfowl. Hunter-use surveys are conducted to evaluate management practices. Hunter participation in these surveys is important.
An area is open to vehicle access for the disabled persons through a special permit. Contact the Webster Area Office for details.
The waterfowl refuge is closed to all activities between November 1 and January 31.
Special hunts, intended to provide a quality opportunity, are available at Webster. To learn more about and to apply for these and other special hunts offered throughout the state, see the Special Hunts Brochure available in June HERE. Applications must be submitted by July 1 each year.
The adjacent State Park offers modern and primitive camping sites the year-round. Camping with vehicle access on the wildlife area is limited to five designated areas. The areas are free, and you must take your trash with you. Walk-in camping is allowed except in areas posted otherwise.
Four boat ramps provide access for area users; three in the state park and one in the Wildlife Area. At low water levels, only the boat ramp in Rock Point Campground in the State Park is usable.
The area offers excellent opportunities to view and photograph deer, bald eagles, pheasants, ducks, and more.

- Many furbearers inhabit the area. When the season is open, trapping and running is allowed in areas open to hunting.
- Hiking is permitted throughout the area (except for in areas posted "Closed to All Activities").
- Riding of horses is only permitted on established roads.

Sometimes getting the most out of a girl is as simple as asking nicely. Stephanie Cane had been by our studio for some really sexy scenes in the past and we were always happy with her performances but we knew deep down that she could give us even more if she really wanted to. So this time, while she was filling out all of her standard paperwork, her costar sat down with her and said really calmly 'Stephanie, in a few minutes you and I are going to start fucking - and the whole world is watching. I don't want to just give them a good performance, I want us to fuck like the most passionate people on the planet in raw photographic detail. The kind of thing that I'll watch over and over at the end of my career with a big smile on my face. Do you think you can do that for me?' From the moment he asked, her eyes lit up and Stephanie Cane was on a mission to make this her best scene ever! Enjoy

This page provides an overview of 2 articles related to 'thesaurus', listing most recently updated content first. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
A thesaurus is a reference work that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which contains definitions and pronunciations. In Information Science, Library Science, and Information Technology, specialized thesauri are designed for information retrieval. They are a type of controlled vocabulary, for indexing or tagging purposes. Such a thesaurus can be used as the basis of an index for online material. The Art and Architecture Thesaurus, for example, is used to index the Canadian Information retrieval thesauri are formally organized so that existing relationships between concepts are made explicit. As a result, they are more complex than simpler controlled vocabularies such as authority lists and synonym rings. Each term is placed in context, allowing a user to distinguish between "bureau" the office and "bureau" the furniture. Following international standards, they are generally arranged hierarchically by themes, topics or facets. Unlike a literary thesaurus, these specialized thesauri typically focus on one discipline, subject or field of study. In information technology, a thesaurus represents a database or list of semantically orthogonal topical search keys. In the field of Artificial Intelligence, a thesaurus may sometimes be referred to as an ontology. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Thesaurus)

Li Ka-Shing and the Growth of Cheung Kong
Nitin Nohria, Anthony J. Mayo, Mark Benson
Revision Date:May 08, 2014Publication Date:Nov 17, 2006Discipline:Organizational BehaviorSource:Harvard Business School |

Events in the history of Cheung Kong's growth reveal how Li Ka-Shing applied his skills as a "first-class noticer" to complex political and socioeconomic environments. While Li's determination to succeed is legendary, so are his skills in reading and responding to the policies and norms of the People's Republic of China, British colonial Hong Kong, and the post-World War II international system. Since Li became the taipan of Hutchison Whampoa in the late 1970s, he has adjusted his ownership shares in a vast portfolio of businesses-including ports, energy, real estate, retail, telecommunications, and new media. Illustrates how Li applied his business acumen and his ability as a first-class noticer to decisions about raising or lowering his stake in these businesses, and whether to acquire new ones. After starting Cheung Kong Inc. in 1950, at age 21, Li built upon his knowledge and contacts in the plastics industry to become Hong Kong's King of Plastic Flowers. In the 1960s, amid political turmoil and labor unrest on both the mainland and in colonial Hong Kong, Li purchased rights to properties on Hong Kong island that were selling at distressed rates. Li's successes in industry and real estate continued, and he cultivated contacts and built a strong reputation that set the stage for his purchase of the hong Hutchinson Whampoa, thereby becoming the first Chinese taipan. As taipan, Li reorganized and reallocated his various financial holdings in the 1980s and 1990s as conditions were in flux due to the Westernization of China after Deng Xiaoping succeeded Mao Zedong, and amid concerns about the transfer of Hong Kong from Britain back to China in 1997.

This procedure is done when a fetus suffers from severe anemia . Anemia is a lack of red blood cells. A transfusion means giving the fetus red blood cells from a donor.
There are two types of fetal blood transfusions:
A transfusion is needed when the fetus's blood count falls too low. Severe anemia in a fetus can cause death. Anemia can be caused by:
The goals of fetal blood transfusions are to:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems like:

If the fetus has hydrops, the blood transfusion will be done right away.
Before the transfusion, you may be given:
Local anesthesia numbs a small area of your abdomen.
With IVT, the fetus will be paralyzed for a short time. This is to allow access to fetal blood vessels and to reduce injury to the fetus. During both IVT and IPT, the doctor will monitor the fetus with an ultrasound scan. The ultrasound will:
The doctor will insert a needle into your abdomen. Using ultrasound, the doctor will make sure the needle is placed correctly. The needle will go through your abdomen and be inserted into the umbilical cord (IUT) or into the fetal abdomen (IPT). Blood will be transfused to the fetus.
Before the needle is removed, the doctor will take a final blood sample. This is to determine the fetus's blood level. The doctor will find out whether the transfusion was enough and when the next one should be.
The transfusions may need to be repeated every 2-4 weeks until your doctor decides that it is safe to deliver the fetus.
A 10 ml IVT transfusion will take 1-2 minutes. Usually, between 30-200 ml is transfused during a single procedure.
You will feel pain and cramping where the doctor inserts the needle. If you are close to delivering the fetus or if the procedure is long, the uterus can be sore.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. You will be able to go home after the transfusion. If complications occur, you may need to have a cesarean section.

Liriano seeks to even series with first 2014 win
Pirates' ace heads to hill against Cardinals' Lyons in St. Louis
A year ago, the Pirates and the Cardinals could see each other in their reflections, and it was a very good view. Each won 94-plus games and, fittingly, met in a National League Division Series won in five games by St. Louis.
The two teams still reflect each other, but the early view in 2014 isn't as flattering. Both teams have struggled offensively and continue to average under four runs per game, spoiling a lot of solid pitching as a result.
Francisco Liriano, the Pittsburgh ace still searching for his first win of the season, will take on fellow lefty Tyler Lyons in the middle game of the series.
The Pirates lineup figures to welcome back left fielder Starling Marte and shortstop Jordy Mercer -- both were rested Friday night -- who, along with Andrew McCutchen, were among the league's top producers against left-handed pitching last season.
Including their 1-0 victory in Friday night's series opener, the Cardinals have scored 14 runs in their last eight games. The Bucs have had an occasional offensive outburst, but have scored 34 runs in their 15 defeats.
Hearing Cardinals manager Mike Matheny lament that situation, it's like listening to Pirates skipper Clint Hurdle.
"A lot of missed opportunities," Matheny said of the 5-6 road trip his club had come off. "We had some terrific pitching that was overshadowed by the fact that we couldn't get some offense going. You're going to have runs like that through the year. Unfortunately for us, it's starting that way. But we still find ways to stay in the game. And once things start clicking, it's going to be a whole lot of fun for the club."
Now, Hurdle, whose club lost for the 11th time in 14 games: "Offensively, we're still working, fighting, scratching to be more consistent -- something we're gonna need to play for us to win the division, to have a shot at the playoffs. I do believe it's there."
The Pirates' edge is more apparent in the power department. They entered the series with 28 home runs, second in the NL to Colorado's 29, and the Cardinals were last in the league with 12 and had not gone yard in 291 at-bats the previous eight games.
Pirates: Walker left feeling good
The Bucs could have an unexpected extra weapon against Lyons: Neil Walker, the switch-hitter who has rediscovered his Mojo in the right-side batter's box.
Walker hit .225 (18-for-80) with only one extra base hit against lefties last season, and in the aftermath received suggestions that perhaps he should abandon switch-hitting.
The advice should let up, now that Walker is 7-for-16 against lefties, with already a double and a home run.
"People are going to tell me how bad I stink right-handed, and I don't really care. People think hitting left-handers left-handed is easy? I'm not exactly sure where that came from," Walker said. "No way I'd want to face [Aroldis] Chapman or any seventh-eighth-ninth-inning left-hander batting lefty."
Cardinals: Happy to be home
The road-weary Cardinals were happy to return home on Friday for a six-game homestand that will pit them against division foes Pittsburgh and then Milwaukee. Saturday will be just the eighth game played at Busch Stadium this month, giving the Cardinals fewer home games so far than any team in the Majors. These six home games are bookended by 11- and nine-game road trips taking the Cardinals to mid-May.
"We very much look forward to it," manager Mike Matheny said of returning to St. Louis. "Now we have an opportunity in front of our fans. It feels like baseball weather again. It's real nice to be back here."
The Cardinals' season opens with 26 of the first 38 games on the road, the highest such number in that sample size since 1927. Last season, the Cardinals played 21 of their first 38 games away from home and went 14-7 in those road contests. They are 8-9 on the road this season but now 5-2 at home after Friday's win.
Worth noting:
• Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina will enter Saturday riding a 15-game hitting streak, which he was able to extend with a hit in his final at-bat on Friday. He also hit safely in 15 consecutive games back in 2007.
• Friday's defeat dropped the Pirates' record in the opening games of series to 6-2.
• Jon Jay made Friday's start in centerfield for the Cardinals, but Peter Bourjos is expected back into the lineup on Saturday against the lefty Liriano. Bourjos is 1-for-16 against left-handers this season but 5-for-14 in his career against Lirinao.
• Never mind runs, the Bucs have been having trouble just getting hits. They have totaled 20 in their last four games.

PROGRAM GUIDELINES Solicitation 13-543
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Full Proposal Deadline Date: October 13, 2015
Exploratory (EXP) Proposals
October 10, Annually Thereafter
Full Proposal Deadline Date: December 10, 2015
Integrative (INT) Proposals
December 10, Annually Thereafter
Public Briefings: One or more collaborative webinar briefings with question and answer functionality will be held prior to the first submission deadline date. Schedules will be posted on the sponsor solicitation web sites.
The goal of the Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Program is to accelerate the development and use of innovative approaches that would support the much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on well-being rather than disease. Approaches that partner technology-based solutions with biobehavioral health research are supported by multiple agencies of the federal government including the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The purpose of this program is to develop next generation health care solutions and encourage existing and new research communities to focus on breakthrough ideas in a variety of areas of value to health, such as sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, decision support systems, modeling of behavioral and cognitive processes, as well as system and process modeling. Effective solutions must satisfy a multitude of constraints arising from clinical/medical needs, social interactions, cognitive limitations, barriers to behavioral change, heterogeneity of data, semantic mismatch and limitations of current cyberphysical systems. Such solutions demand multidisciplinary teams ready to address technical, behavioral and clinical issues ranging from fundamental science to clinical practice.
Due in large part to advances in high throughput and connective computing, medicine is at the cusp of a sector-wide transformation that - if nurtured through rigorous scientific innovation - promises to accelerate discovery, improve patient outcomes, decrease costs, and address the complexity of such challenging health problems as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and neurological degeneration. These transformative changes are possible in areas ranging from the basic science of molecular genomics and proteomics to decision support for physicians, patients and caregivers through data mining to support behavior change through technology-enabled social and motivational support. In addition to these scientific discoveries, innovative approaches are required to address delivery of high quality, economically-efficient healthcare that is rapidly becoming one of the key economic, societal and scientific challenges in the United States.
The need for a significant healthcare transformation has been recognized by numerous organizations including the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), National Research Council (NRC), Institute of Medicine (IOM), Computing Community Consortium (CCC), and the National Academy of Engineering. Additionally, a congressionally mandated review of Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) emphasized the critical role that networking and information technology will play in spurring innovation to solve the nation's most pressing challenges, beginning with health and healthcare. Several of these agencies explicitly encouraged the Department of Health and Human Services (e.g., NIH, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Office National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT)) to work explicitly with the National Science Foundation to realize the scientific potential of digitally supported health and healthcare. Recommendations also called for joint funding between these agencies to conduct cross-cutting research into the social, cognitive, and behavioral processes underlying efficient use of the new technologies, and the analytic demands implied by the new large scale databases.
The purpose of this interagency program solicitation is the development of next generation health and healthcare research through high-risk, high-reward advances in the understanding of and applications in information science, technology, behavior, cognition, sensors, robotics, bioimaging, and engineering. Collaboration between academic, industry, non-profit and other organizations is strongly encouraged to establish better linkages between fundamental science, clinical practice and technology development, deployment and use. This solicitation is aligned with the visions (e.g., PCAST, NRC, IOM) calling for major changes in health and wellbeing as well as healthcare delivery and is aimed at the fundamental research to enable the change.

Imagine yourself floating down the legendary Colorado River. A shade canopy and breeze keeps you cool in spite of desert heat. You are surrounded by red sandstone cliffs on either side of the river. Occasionally, a blue heron rises in slow motion from the water, searching for today's catch. You don't have a care in the world other than enjoying the beautiful world around you because you are in the company of Tag-A-Long Expeditions traveling in a sturdy river boat, the Colorado Explorer. These boats are designed for people who want to tour the river on calm water, not get wet, remain comfortable, but see all there is to see of Canyonlands National Park from the perspective of a voyage down the river. We promise a safe, dry, comfortable, cool, scenic ride on one of America's great rivers. Family vacations to include toddlers and serve seniors.

This classic combo of a calm-water excursion and a 4X4 adventure into the real Canyonlands National Park is perfect for the traveler accustomed to motor coach travel or people looking for something a little less than gonzo! You'll stay dry and comfortable all day! It is a great companion trip to a visit to Arches National Park for a day on your own.

Four hour interpretative tour of the windows section of Arches National Park and a four hour tour of the calm waters of the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park. You'll stay dry and comfortable all day!
Jetboat and Raft the Colorado River (HJ0 and HR0)
Enjoy the motorized "come-as-you-are" boat trip downstream of Moab toward Canyonlands and the Colorado River rafting (non-motorized, your feet do get wet) upstream of Moab through Professor Valley for the Scenic Splash.
Canyonlands Wilderness Cruise (HJO)
Explore the real canyonlands on the calm waters of the Colorado River. The only way you'll see the places we take you is by boat! Leave car-bound tourists behind on our relaxing, calm-water excursions down the river. A journey in our large, stable jetboat will satisfy the hidden explorer in you! Spend half a day on the river with us and half a day in Arches National Park on your own.
Canoe or Kayak, With Return Shuttle (JC0)
Are you a free spirit? Do you paddle to the beat of a different current? For you free-thinkers who want to organize your own trips and float in your own paradise without strangers as company, Tag-A-Long Expeditions offers shuttles to the river launch site on the Green River or Colorado River and canoe pick up at the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers or Spanish Bottom. If you like camping, this will top your family vacations.
