It is always a pleasure to read your post about your own bike Anyhow, Gartenzwerg has a point ... Back on my old time (~5/6 years ago) experimenting with old watt logger (old now, but was state of art ) ... In a rc brushless car ... with old shultze Esc ... I was seeing high pick of current back from ESC to the battery .... under braking ... Burst charging current back, on a NiMh pack, is not a problem, actually ... is usefully for charge back the pack But ... on my old LiPo was not so good ... I think I did puff my old Kokam 20C 3300mAh due to this ... (paid a fortune back in ~2005 for it ) Now ... the LiPo technology is improved a lot ... I see cells capable to handle 5C charge on the market ... But still ... it may be an issue for the LiPo ... Probably on the Bike ... is less then an issue then on the cars ... since the energy to be "wasted" in braking is less ... Still ... the front mechanical brake ... and a good high capacitor around the batt ... can help to longer the life of the LiPo Tchuss e_lm_70 ps: My old USB power logger was able to log the current and voltage every second ... and somehow ... was showing also the reverse current ... actually was bugged ... after a reverse current ... the logger did change the value associate to the 0 current ... after a reverse of 10amp ... the new 0 absorbing current ... was shown +10 amp ... not perfectly engineered watt meter logger .... had a chat (here on rcgroups, or some other forum) long time ago with producer too |
Thanks for the hint.
I will ask the ESC maker about this. Its a very modern highly developed thing so I think they looked into this too... |
I loooove borderlines:
At the moment the Spur Gears on the new bike are simply falling apart under full power acceleration *LOL*. I changed down to overall 20% smaler diameter on the pionion and spur so theres more torque they have to handle. I didnt ruin one spur whole of last season and now there are already 3 in the bin. Must be the low Temperatures at the moment too. I cant brake them at home when they are warm. But after a few laps on the track they just desintegrate. |

Time to move on bigger teeth ... are you using the 64p or 0.4mm ? |
My hopes....
I am happily doing at least "a Lipo a day......." or two or three. Doing lap after lap getting used to the "2011". Today I drove low 26sec Laps. Not bad.
But somehow scary for 5°C Track Temperature using mushy PMT200Profile tires. Either it is scary because now I think the high 25sec. record I drove last summer could be the physical limit for 1:5th Bikes on this track. Otherwise it shouldnt be possible to get such low times under these circumstances compared to the times during last summer. I made a direct comparison with a old "2010"(same tires) and it was only slightly slower. BUT my hope is that its scary because this bike is going to beat hell out of me in summer once the temperatures rise |
Used my first rear tire this season (31 Lipo charges). It worked until it was worn through.
I only started feeling that the bike was a bit funny in the rear. So this is another developement that works. |
Old and new front dropout for the SB5 Front WHeel and Brake Assembly on a Alleven CrMo Motoproto. I reduced the travel to 16mm found that enough.
Note the new "patented" ZeroZipTieDesign (ZZTD) *LOL* |
No Zipties, yes. But what about the heat-shrink? That weighs something too!
Come on, invent some vacuum supraconductors that don't need heavy insulation, or wires at all - we know you can :-D Edit: And the bike deserves it! *grin* On a sidenote - the clearance between the front wheel and the battery looks almost as close as on my NF Bike. But since you have no Crash-Back, this should make no problems on your bike.. ;-) |
Well..... but I dont have to remove the heatshrik when I take the Brake saddle off the Bike
It does have a crashback: If it crashes it breaks *LOL* .... the design with the two Carbon Plate Headstock has enough flex to keep most of the impact from the Forks. I only smashed one or two of the bottom plates when I drove into bikes that where (silently) in the way at highest speed on the straights. And even then the Forks kept up with it. Never had a real Fork "write off". |
Thought I put up the Lostallo Video here too to keep all information together:
Thats a Jabber 2011 "Lostallo" on the Track in Lostallo where the 2011 World Championship will be held. I drove 22 Charges in two days. Didnt have so much time: the sun came out 10:00 and went 16:00. The Bike itself didnt show any major problems. I went there last weekend just to collect plenty laps. Did a lot of testing with motors. From 6T Delta up to 9T Deltas. DId a lot of optimizing with the ESC and the Gearing. Thats just about it. The Track itself wasnt really warm air Temp was between 8-12°C. Still managed low 33 to 34 secs./Lap. On the Video theres a 9T Delta yelling for mercy down the straight had it a bit "long". I wont tell you what Revs the Telemetry said, you wouldnt believe me. The tires on this run where crap, you hear me scolding them in the background.
Wish I could see a Jabber here in the 'States...
I REALLY like the ability to use the TT front brake system with the Alleven forks... no more worries about cables, and finding a place to mount a brake servo.. I have an Einibike now (with the Eini forks), but I still have a set of Alleven forks on another bike that could use this system (great forks) |
I am in contact with Patrick, gave him all the drawings....

Keep Little Ghosts and Goblins Safe, Happy and Healthy This Halloween With Advice From Experts at Children's Hospital
Preventing belly aches, nightmares and pedestrian accidents top concerns of holiday
Pittsburgh, Pa. -
October 30, 2007
Experts at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC are offering some simple tips for families to follow this Halloween to avoid a trip to the emergency room for young superheroes and princesses.
What scares us the most this Halloween?
Pedestrian accidents are the top safety concern on Halloween as young trick-or-treaters excitedly roam the streets in costumes that may limit their field of vision and make it difficult for drivers to see them, according to Barbara A. Gaines, MD, director of the Benedum Pediatric Trauma Program at Children's.
The number of child pedestrian deaths is four times higher on Halloween evening than on any other night of the year, according to a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "On Halloween, kids are at a very real danger of being hit by a car because they are so excited, they may run from house to house, crossing streets without looking or darting into the street from in between parked cars," Dr. Gaines said. "Adults should always supervise trick-or-treaters and make sure they have brightly colored costumes or bags. When driving is absolutely necessary during the hours of trick-or-treating, motorists should use extreme caution."
The appropriate costume can also help prevent injuries, Dr. Gaines said. Injuries from falls also are common on Halloween, caused when children trip because of the length of a costume or because they cannot see where they are walking. All trick-or-treaters should carry flashlights.
How much candy is too much?
Adults and kids should be careful not to overindulge in candy this Halloween, according to experts at Children's Weight Management and Wellness Center.
"We encourage children to walk instead of being driven when trick-or-treating, so they are getting good exercise," said Megan McQuaide, a registered dietitian in the center. "Kids can still enjoy Halloween and some of the candy they get from trick-or-treating, but the adults need to set some ground rules and make sure kids follow them."
For instance, McQuaide recommends allowing a child to have two small pieces of candy a day – one in their lunch and one after dinner – for the first week or two following Halloween. After that, the candy should be discarded.
"Beyond that, the excitement of Halloween candy has worn off and people often find themselves eating the candy just because it's there," she said. "This approach is a good compromise that allows kids to enjoy Halloween without going overboard."
How scary is too scary?
The scariest aspects of Halloween, such as haunted houses and frightening costumes, may be too overwhelming for young kids, according to child development experts at Children's.
Gruesome costumes, spooky movies and frightening haunted houses can be emotionally stressful for children, especially for children under the age of 6, and for some older children as well, said Lawrence Newman, PhD, a psychologist in Behavioral Health at Children's.
"Such Halloween traditions as haunted houses and horror movies are not intended for preschoolers and young children, who typically don't distinguish pretend from reality as well as older children," Dr. Newman said. "Children can become overwhelmed with fear, or, later on, have nightmares or show other anxieties."
When parents are unsure whether or not a Halloween event is appropriate for children, the first step is to learn about the event and what age group the event is intended for, according to Dr. Newman. When still unsure whether the event would be at the right developmental level, the best recommendation is then to discuss the scary aspects of the event with children beforehand, he said. When age-appropriate, parents can give the child the option of participating or not. Such discussions prepare the child that something might be pretend though possibly frightening. By including the child in the decision-making process, parents give him or her a sense of control over that involvement.
If children do want to go to a scary Halloween event, parents also should make sure kids know they can leave at any time during the visit if what they see is too frightening.

Inverse problem approach in particle digital holography: out-of-field particle detection made possible
JOSA A, Vol. 24, Issue 12, pp. 3708-3716 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (641 KB)
We propose a microparticle detection scheme in digital holography. In our inverse problem approach, we estimate the optimal particles set that best models the observed hologram image. Such a method can deal with data that have missing pixels. By considering the camera as a truncated version of a wider sensor, it becomes possible to detect particles even out of the camera field of view. We tested the performance of our algorithm against simulated and experimental data for diluted particle conditions. With real data, our algorithm can detect particles far from the detector edges in a working area as large as 16 times the camera field of view. A study based on simulated data shows that, compared with classical methods, our algorithm greatly improves the precision of the estimated particle positions and radii. This precision does not depend on the particle's size or location (i.e., whether inside or outside the detector field of view).

"Keeping Up With The Kardashians" has been making a hit since its debut on October 14, 2007 and is unlikely going to end soon. Season 10 premiered on June 8 and so much has happened in the Kardashian clan that some of their real-life events may end up on the show.
Although the Kardashian family is still on the spotlight, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" has been on hiatus for the past several months, reports Vulture. The last fans saw of the Kardashians on a TV series was on E!'s Kimye proposal special and since then so much has happened with the Kardashians. Below is a list of the real-life Kardashian events that may end up in Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
The Kim and Kanye Wedding Extravaganza
Obviously, the first question is if fans will see the Kim and Kanye wedding in the Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." The Kimye wedding may not have been filmed for "KUWTK" as Kim Kardashian tweeted on May 8, however according to Bustle, E! and Kim Kardashian had hinted at the possibility that the wedding may after all be shown on television.
First off, E! included this plug for the Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
"To see the road to Kim and Kanye's wedding-from Los Angeles to Paris to Italy-tune in to the new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, premiering Sunday, June 8, on E!"
Second, on May 8 Kim Kardashian took to Twitter to clear the air on whether or not her wedding will be featured on the show.
2. We are not filming our wedding for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. You will see everything leading up til and after!
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) May 7, 2014
As much as we would love to share these memories on camera, we've decided to keep this close to our heart & share thru photos — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) May 7, 2014
Kim and Kanye, true to their word of sharing their wedding photos, recently shared a photo from their mid-ceremony serenade courtesy of famous Italian tenor, Andrea Boccelli.
Vulture reports that a lot of drama is embedded in the Kim and Kanye wedding which may take up plenty of screen time in Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." This includes Brody Jenner's missing invite, Rob Kardashian's blowout and return to LA, Beyoncé and Jay Z's snub, Lana Del Rey's performance and even a cameo from Kylie Jenner's alleged boyfriend Jaden Smith.
Rob Kardashian
Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" premiered on June 8 and already the Kardashians tackled on Rob Kardashian's weight gain - reportedly the reason he bailed out on Kim and Kanye's wedding. The first episode of Season 10 sees Rob Kardashian unhappy, unhealthy and worst of all, surrounded by a family who prioritizes physical appearances before anything else. This episode could culminate into the Kim and Kanye wedding where Rob flies to Florence only to end up in a fight with his family which prompted his return to LA before the wedding has even started.
Khloe Kardashian and French Montana
Khloe Kardashian previously had a spinoff newlywed TV show with ex-husband Lamar Odom. It was adorable, seeing how they really love and enjoy being around each other. However, the relationship ended when Odom was caught in a drug scandal and Khloe Kardashian has moved on and into the arms of new boyfriend French Montana. Although the Kardashians haven't warmed up to the relationship yet, Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" may include some French Montana cameos every now and then.
Kourtney Kardashian Is Pregnant
The eldest among the Kardashian siblings, Kourtney confirmed that she is pregnant with Scott Disick's third child. Kourtney is the most underrated Kardashian says Vulture, who doesn't take anyone's shit. Her pregnancy can be one of the highlights in the Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." After all, pregnancies make great reality TV.
Bruce Jenner
Following Bruce Jenner's divorce from Kris, it's been reported that he will no longer take part in the Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." However, reports of his gender-reassignment surgery post divorce may be brought up in the show.
Baby North West
It's still unclear how much of North West fans will see in the Season 10 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." But with Kourtney's kids Mason and Penelope already show regulars, it won't be long till baby North West becomes one too.

I've heard of it somewhere.
Have you seen my dignity? I do believe it has eloped with my sanity . . .
Looks like the sign on the door said "thud" to me. Seems he did the right thing.
the sign on the door says pull. look at the door handle. the THUD is the sound his head made when he banged into the door.
Well done.
I read panel 2 (OOF? wow...). I prepared for the extension of this funny, but already knew that it would lose some of it's kick, with me preparing for it and all. I still laughed.
Well done.
Every time I see a "push" or "pull" sign I do the opposite just to check they are not liars. I'm innovating! surprisingly about 25 percent of the time it still works... I may have broken some doors in my time, however.
Great comic by the way Scott, I'm working backwards through the archives and you make me laugh out loud for too much considering I'm reading these at work!
I'm reading forwards from the beginning, and I would like to option this material for a sit com. But Unfortunately I don't know what that actually means.
The door can't move? Sounds like a defective door.

Not that i know of i am just putting together my own list for when i get the money to request a wishlist
I obviously can't speak for DuffyD, but my guess is the next announced shopping trip won't be until fall for Halloween.
Does anyone know if they still have lap blankets?I didn't see those on the official site.
they are likely all gone.
New item revealed in the August issue of Disney Fan:
These are so cute! Thank you for posting. I would put Shellie May in the blue one.
I like those! Cute. Very cute.
Very cute! I too would put Shelly May in the blue, it would make her eyes stand out. :)
Wow, those shirts are really adorable!
I agree, I think the blue shirt would look better on Shellie and the yellow on Duffy! Really cute!
Make sense to me. The yellow shirt to match Duffy's fur (yellow and honey gold seem to match well) and the blue shirt to match Shellie's blue eyes (sea salt blue and blue match very well).
Those are really cute shirts. I guess they figure Duffy and Shellie May need longer sleeves for the fall.
Oh, those shirts are adorable!
The shirts are so cute and would get DUFFY the yellow one and SHellie the bleu looks better i think
Thanks, Danimated!:thumbup: I was very much hoping for Duffy-centric Happiness tees and I :love: the font for "The Happiness Year" - these are great. My only small gripe is that I kinda wish the artwork on the front wasn't exactly the same, but I imagine that's a matter of opinion and some people will probably love that point particularly, so I won't complain too much. I'm just happy to have a blue one for Shellie that doesn't have the Mouses on it.:clap: I love Mickey and Minnie, more and more recently in fact, but when they appear, they can't help overshadowing the beloved bears.
Aside: Does that heart wreath remind anyone else of the "Disney Dreamers Everywhere" logo? Except better, cos now it's "Duffy Dreamers Happiness!":p
I agree, DG. The blue one is totally Shellie's for me.;)
I did some digging today and found out that these will release on 7/1. They'll be ¥1900, and they are ONE piece, as in the striped sleeves are sewn onto the T-shirt. They are NOT two pieces with a separate longsleeve shirt underneath. This is probably clear enough in the photo, actually, but just in case.^^ I like the longsleeves. It's a small detail, but I feel it really adds to the design. It "dresses it up" a little somehow and makes the shirt more "casual fashion" than "fashionable tourist"^^ and also adds a subtle splash of Cape Cod's sea breeze to the mix. Love, love.:D
There will also be a new Sailor costume released for each bear on 7/1. I can't find pictures of it, but it sounds like Duffy's will be a very deep (nearly black) navy with white accent; and Shellie's a very deep red/maroon, also with white accent, I think. They will not include shoes, so they're a little cheaper than usual costumes. They'll sell for ¥3300 each.
No word on any other merchandise, but that doesn't definitely mean there won't be any other surprises before Halloween. I am on voodoo pins and knitting needles about Halloween... After the wide variations in approach between 2011 and 2012, I have absolutely no idea what to expect...oh! I just thought of a fun contest! We haven't had a contest in too long!:yea:
Since there will be new merchandise, I will have an Announced Shopping Day. I would prefer 7/12 because many items sold out with late Spring Voyage requests, and I'd like to avoid juggling auctions or disappointing people by not being able to get what folks want. Last year's Sailors sold out in something like two or three weeks!:eek: 7/12 Shopping means a D-day of 6/30 at the latest, though. If that's too soon, please let me know and let's come up with a date that works for most people. I would very much like to have everyone onboard in the same trip and avoid both extra cost to SpecialRequesters and extra shopping days on my days off. Let me know! Once we've settled on a definite date (and the official site is updated), I'll make a new thread for the Shopping Trip.^^

4-MMC (Mephedrone) has not been common in bath salts in the US since 2010. MPDV is way more cheap for shitty vendors to sell their product in smoke shops. MPDV is a pretty crappy stim and is the cause for that bath salt craze this year.

Learning and Clustering Plan Abstractions to Improve Hierarchical Planning
- Hierachical planning can be improved by explanation-based learning (EBL) of abstract plans from detailed, successfully solved planning problems. Abstract plans, expressed in well-established terms of the domain, serve as useful problem decompositions which can drastically reduce the planning complexity. The learned plan abstraction must be valid for a class of planning cases rather than for a single case, to ensure their successful application in a larger spectrum of new situations. A hierarchical organization of the newly learned knowledge must be archieved to overcome the utility problem in EBL. This paper presents a new formal model of shared plan abstraction and the closely related explanation-based procedure S-PABS. Unlike other apporaches to plan abstraction, our model allows a total different terminology to be introduced at the abstract level. Finally, an unsupervised incremental procedure for constructing a hierachy of shared abstract plans is proposed, as a kind of concept formation over explanations.

Could anyone explain me how the TCCs are calculated?
I mean 1.652 for a volvo 70... Ok, but at the end of the list is a tp52 with 0.951 (if the last boats all have the same)... 2 pogo 40 with different ratings and a pogo 12.50 with an even lower rating... I do not get it...
Keep this awesome thread going - it was the one which hooked me...
The boats are rated under IRC. IRC does not rate a model but each particular boat depending on sails, carbon masts, canting keels, and water ballast among other things. The rule is revised each year taking into account the race results from the last year. It is a secret rule and only the RORC Rating Office and UNCL Centre de Calcul in Paris (that own the rule) are able to attribute a ratting.
An Introduction to IRC
Offshore Documents
That's a lot more sophisticated and close to the boat's real performance than the PHRF or the Nordic LYS but in my opinion a let loss sophisticated and accurate than ORCI. Problem is that the French and the British use it while the ORCI is used more by Italians even if now is spreading quickly to Germany and Nordic countries. There was talking about unifying the two rules but it seems that the installed interests are too big
That's pretty ridiculous, here top race boats have two keels and change them according to the rule. Not a big difference but it can be enough for winning.
Regarding those two different ratings to two Pogo 40's (class 40 racing boats?) it has probably to do with the sails they have and age allowance (older boats have automatically a lower rating then new ones).
Regarding the big difference of those two Pogos 40 to the Pogo 12.50 (slower boat) it has to do with the 12.50 being a cruiser and the others racers. The Pogo 12.50 has the same hull as a Pogo class 40 racing boat but a smaller rig (without back-stay), a swing keel (the others have a racing keel with more draft - 3.0m) and does not have water ballast tanks.
By the way that beautiful hull that was posted by G1000 is a Pogo 12.50 hull, the one from his own new sailboat that is being built.
Regarding the TP52 you are mistaken. There is no rating there for it. The one you mention is attributed to a 8,5m boat
a small cruising Pogo.
The IRC rating of a TP52 should be around 1360. The Tp52 is a top racing boat and the one that was making this Transat was a very poor sailed one.

Egg yolk androgen levels increase with breeding density in the European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris
Publiceringsår: 2004
Språk: Engelska
Sidor: 58-66
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: Functional Ecology
Volym: 18
Nummer: 1
Dokumenttyp: Artikel
Förlag: Blackwell Publishing
1. High breeding density can cause elevated plasma androgen levels in adult birds. Since maternal androgens are deposited into egg yolk, high breeding density may result in elevated yolk androgen levels as well. 2. The relationship between breeding density and yolk androgen levels was examined in the European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris. The concentration and total content of yolk androstenedione and yolk testosterone were measured in eggs from 24 clutches distributed across nine different colonies of nestboxes. 3. Yolk androstenedione and testosterone levels were significantly higher in colonies where a greater proportion of nestboxes had active nests. 4. Yolk testosterone levels were significantly higher, and yolk androstenedione levels were marginally higher, in colonies with a greater absolute number of active nests. 5. Yolk androgen levels were not related to the number of active nests in adjacent nestboxes. 6. We conclude that female starlings nesting in colonies with higher breeding densities transfer more androgen to their eggs. 7. This relationship may be mediated by increased interfemale aggression, particularly towards floater females searching for mates or nests to brood parasitize, in high-density colonies. Such a relationship between maternal environment and maternal yolk androgens may represent adaptive maternal modification of offspring phenotype or a non-adaptive physiological constraint which females cannot avoid.

Like Samantha419, I don't quite know what to make of this thread. Some of you are pretending you're vampires and claiming you know vampires? If this is your shtick, cool deal, go for it. I just don't get it. Maybe I'm too old, lol. But one thing about me being old is that I've seen and read pretty much everything there is about vampires, and I have never heard of a person becoming a vampire after being kissed by one. Just saying, not trying to start anything, lol. LunarrGoddess maybe you should check with that "vampire" friend yourself, cause it doesn't happen that way, lol. Anyway, you guys have fun. I doubt I'll be visiting this thread very often. I like to keep reality real, thanks, lol. |

Endo:Human made books about vampires are less likely to tell the truth, it's all based on their fear of the unknown and what they THINK a vampire is. It's not in the legends because it's a well known fact in the real Supernatural World that wasn't told the Humans because it'd scare them. Not many real vampires go turning anyone, so they only usually hang out with each-other. Please don't tell me I'm wrong when I know my facts. Love is love, no matter the shape, color, species or form. |

I have a few questions -Jackie, perhaps you could answer as you seem the most knowledgable and approachable . Firstly, I mean no disrespect by these questions, they are honestly born out of fascination and intense curiosity. You are all vampires? What is your definition of a vampire? Is this just a hunger for blood or possesion of 'supernatural' abilities? I get the feeling that some people on these forums are a vampire purely because they have 'decided' they want to be a vampire (does that make sense?) - again, no offense intended. What really defines a vampire? I have loads of other questions so hope to receive a response. Thanks . |

in response to princess. erm im not quite sure what your asking ive never heard of a "royal Vampire" but i have heard in most cases that the person that was turned during the stage of transition between Human to vampire you have dreams usualy of dead people or Dead babies or somthing of significant horror, and as for you know about things that are going to happen some people do believe that a certain type of vampire can read others minds not in the way of the movies but in ways that you are un aware of and they show the preminitons in the form of Deja Vu, and secondly in response to Shadowloop:- I do believe that a true definition of a vampire is someone that needs to live on the life force of others in order to survive their own blood is not capable of supporting them which is why they need to feed on ours different races and religions believe in this for different reasons some believe their own blood dosent create plasma and as such they take it from other hosts whether that be animal or human form others believe it is the Pranic energy called Chi by most people which is the very essence of life that is within us all that the vampires need and it is also believed the more Pure and Innocent the host the richer the blood is as it carries more Pranic energy, i do though believe that some people call them selves vamires and in fact are not, im not saying that anyone here is like that just that in fact i belive some people do either out of some psychosis where they may actualy believe the are or weather they just realy want to be vampires. hope this helps you guys |

Weekly, I will break down each team's matchup and offer ratings on the more important IDPs. Preceding the game breakdowns is a reference chart that lists each team's scheme, defensive coordinator & projected three down linebackers. Ratings are based on a 12-team league that assumes the following starting requirements: 1 defensive tackles (DT), 2 defensive ends (DE), 3-4 linebackers (LB), 2 cornerbacks (CB) & 2 safeties (S). As the season progresses trends will become apparent and allow me to utilize IDP TOP as a viable tool for these game breakdowns. Good luck & enjoy!
Rating System: Five-Star Play: Studly performance anticipated Four-Star Play: Above average solid start Three-Star Play: Decent starter or sleeper Two-Star Play: Bench 'em, unless you don't have better options One-Star Play: Bench 'em no matter what
Scoring system used for this article: solo tackle (2), assisted tackle (1), sack (3), forced or recovered fumble (3), interception (3) and pass defended (1).
Team base schemes, defensive coordinators and three down linebackers (remember Scheme Matters)
Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins defense opens against what should be a run heavy game plan from the Falcons. Expect Channing Crowder to be the biggest beneficiary. Matt Ryan was a great success last year but he opens his sophomore season against two OLB's in Jason Taylor and Joey Porter that can create havoc for opposing QBs. Taylor returns to the Dolphins after one year away but unfortunately for IDP GMs he is now listed as an OLB instead of a DE. He isn't the player he used to be and his new designation makes him almost unrosterable in all but the deepest of leagues. It will be interesting to see safeties Gibril Wilson & Yeremiah Bell play together in their first regular season game together. Both should be in starting lineups this week and don't be shocked if both end up as top 10 ranked safeties at year end. The 3-4 defense that the Dolphins run makes it easy to decide to bench their DE's.
Five-Star Plays: Channing Crowder LB
Four-Star Plays: Yeremiah Bell SS Gibril Wilson FS
Three-Star Plays: None
Two-Star Plays: Jason Taylor LB Joey Porter LB Akin Ayodele DE
One-Star Plays: Kendall Langford DE
Atlanta Falcons: Gone is long time Falcon LB Keith Brooking and in is former Jaguar and Colt LB Mike Peterson. Peterson will man the weak side for the Falcons but make no mistake that this defense now belongs to second year MLB Curtis Lofton. Look for Lofton to get off to a great start in week 1 en route to what very easily could be a top 10 ranking this season. John Abraham is a DE that should be in your lineup every week that he is healthy and he is healthy so make sure you get him into your lineup. The Falcons drafted William Moore in round 2 and many expected him to be the safety to target this year but injuries have set him back and IDP GM's should be looking for very good production from Eric Coleman who is currently starting at SS.
Five-Star Plays: Curtis Lofton LB
Four-Star Plays: Eric Coleman DB John Abraham DE
Three-Star Plays: Mike Peterson LB Brent Grimes CB
Two-Star Plays: Stephen Nicholas LB
One-Star Plays: Jamal Anderson DE
Kansas City: For the longest time Chiefs fans were calling for Herm's head and they got their wish this past offseason. Now not only do the Chiefs now have a new head coach (Todd Haley) & new defensive coordinator (Clancy Pendergast) they are also installing a new 3-4 defense. Expect first round pick DE Tyson Jackson to be a major component in the success with the new defense just realize his impact will be geared towards NFL production rather than fantasy stat production. Mike Vrabel and Zach Thomas were brought in to help with veteran leadership and the transition to the 3-4 but Thomas wasn't healthy enough to make the team. The value that Vrabel brings to the Chiefs is much like Jackson in that fantasy wise he won't be worth much. This defense will spend a ton of time on the field this year and LB Derrick Johnson should benefit greatly, that is if he can earn back his starting job. Coach Haley played games with Dwayne Bowe with regards to the depth chart and looks to be doing the same with Johnson. Corey Mays looks to be a sleeper as one of the starting ILB's. Mike Brown should be a very good play this week as he won the starting SS job from former 2nd round pick Bernard Pollard, who was recently cut. This week versus the Ravens, expect to see an above average number of rushing attempts, which should be beneficial but realize that there is risk in starting any Chiefs until we see exactly how the depth chart has truly shaken out.
Five-Star Plays: Mike Brown SS Four-Star Plays: Derrick Johnson LB
Three-Star Plays: Brandon Flowers CB Brandon Carr CB Corey Mays LB
Two-Star Plays: Mike Vrabel LB
One-Star Plays: Tyson Jackson DE Tamba Hali LB
Baltimore: DE Terrell Suggs is reportedly healthy and says he is ready to play an entire game so plug Suggs into your lineup this week and don't even think twice about it. Yes, I consider Suggs a defensive end and his ratings for this season are going to be a reflection of that. If your league considers him a LB then you need to understand that his ranking would differ greatly. Ray Lewis is another year older but is still a very worthy LB1 and don't be surprised to see Lewis in the middle of things creating a few big plays versus the Chiefs. DT Haloti Ngata is easily one of the best DTs in the league (both fantasy and NFL wise) and is a top play in DT mandatory leagues. If you own Ed Reed he is probably an ok play this week but remember that Reed is another one of those players where his value is much greater NFL wise then it is fantasy wise.
Five-Star Plays: Terrell Suggs DE
Four-Star Plays: Ray Lewis LB Haloti Ngata DT
Three-Star Plays: Tavares Gooden LB
Two-Star Plays: Ed Reed FS Fabian Washington CB Domonique Foxworth CB Jarrett Johnson LB
One-Star Plays: Trevor Pryce DE
Philadelphia: The biggest hit the Eagles defense took this offseason is the loss of Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson to cancer. Sean McDermott steps in as an internal promotion to Defensive Coordinator and should still do a good job but the loss of Stewart Bradley for the season due to a knee injury put him behind the eight ball a bit. Former starting MLB Omar Gaither won the MLB competition this preseason with 2nd year player Joe Mays. Gaither wasn't anything special two years ago when he was the starting MLB but he should be an option as a LB3/4 this year. Look for LB Akeem Jordan to continue to build on a good end of season performance. DE Trent Cole is a top 5 stud in all formats and should be in your lineup this week. The biggest beneficiary from the loss of Bradley will probably be SS Quintin Mikell who could exceed his 93 total tackles from a year ago. Sharing starting secondary duties with Mikell is rookie 5th round draft pick Macho Harris and not the newly signed Sean Jones or 2nd year 4th round draft pick Quintin Demps. If you find yourself in a dire situation at the S/DB position Harris could be a decent sleeper play this week.
Five-Star Plays: Trent Cole DE
Four-Star Plays: Akeem Jordan LB Quintin Mikell SS
Three-Star Plays: Omar Gaither LB
Two-Star Plays: Macho Harris FS Asante Samuel CB
One-Star Plays: Chris Gocong LB
Carolina: Reports are that Jon Beason returned to practice on Wednesday after suffering an MCL injury earlier in the preseason. Beason is a stud but I would temper expectations some against an Eagles team that likes to pass the ball. Also, the loss of DT Ma'ake Kemoeatu for the season due to a knee injury could end up hurting Beason some this year. DE Julius Peppers tried his best to force the Panthers to trade him this offseason but he is still a Panther thanks to the franchise tag. Expect Peppers to be playing for a very large contract next year and a ticket out of Carolina. The Eagles should have a very good OL this season but the starting unit has yet to play a single snap together this year and that bodes very well for Peppers and his owners. CB Richard Marshall looks to have a great weekend versus the pass happy Eagles and when it happens don't blow it off as a one off type week. I have Marshall ranked as the top CB and a top 5 DB this year. He should have no problem making the most of finally securing a starting spot in this defense. Five-Star Plays: Julius Peppers DE
Four-Star Plays: Richard Marshall CB
Three-Star Plays: Jon Beason LB Thomas Davis LB
Two-Star Plays: Chris Harris SS Chris Gamble CB
One-Star Plays: Damione Lewis DT
Denver: The Broncos are another team that is transitioning to a new defense with the implementation of a 3-4 headed up by former San Francisco head coach Mike Nolan. Many feel that Denver trying to play a 3-4 is like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. While that may be very true, make no mistake about the fact that LB DJ Williams is still going to be a monster in this defense. He is coming back from injury but as long as he plays 16 games this year, he should end up a top 5 LB. Brian Dawkins brings plenty of leadership with him but he is a liability in coverage and will be best utilized near the line of scrimmage. If you are in a big play league, you will probably want to bench Dawkins while he has his hand in a club like cast otherwise in tackle heavy leagues he should be a safer play. Elvis Dumervil can get after the QB but his designation has changed to OLB and that is a big hit to his value making him waiver wire fodder in just about every league format.
Five-Star Plays: DJ Williams LB
Four-Star Plays: None
Three-Star Plays: Andra Davis LB
Two-Star Plays: Brian Dawkins SS Elvis Dumervil LB One-Star Plays: Robert Ayers LB
Cincinnati: LB Dhani Jones led the Bengals in tackles last year with 116 total tackles but this year he will be fighting with LB Keith Rivers and rookie LB Rey Maualuga to get the ball carrier. Last year the Bengals were the 2nd worst team at sacking the QB and this year doesn't look to be much better. Rookie DE Michael Johnson could change that as the season progresses but don't expect much from him in week 1.
Five-Star Plays: None
Three-Star Plays: Dhani Jones LB Keith Rivers LB Domata Peko DT
Two-Star Plays: Antwan Odom DE Roy Williams SS Leon Hall
One-Star Plays: Rey Maualuga LB
Minnesota: Good news for Viking fans and bad news for Browns fans, DT's Kevin and Pat Williams are eligible to play in week 1. The Browns should send DE Jared Allen a jersey because with as much time as he is going to be in their backfield you might think he actually played for the Browns offense. Both CB Antoine Winfield and CB Cedric Griffin are top 5 CBs this season and top 10 in combined DB leagues. Their opportunities may be limited some this week but they should both still produce enough to warrant starting them. LB EJ Henderson is back from a season ending injury last year and while this week could be a pedestrian performance should still be a top 15-20 LB this season. Expect LB Chad Greenway to be a workman like productive play this season but temper expectations versus the Browns offense.
Five-Star Plays: Jared Allen DE
Four-Star Plays: Kevin Williams DT
Three-Star Plays: EJ Henderson LB Chad Greenway LB Antoine Winfield CB Cedric Griffin CB
Two-Star Plays: Madieu Williams FS
One-Star Plays: Ben Leber LB Ray Edwards DE
Cleveland: LB D'Qwell Jackson led the NFL in tackles (154) last year and versus what should be a heavy dose of Adrian Peterson he looks to pick up right where he left off. Look for DT Shaun Rogers to be a strong play for the same reason. LB Eric Barton was productive while playing for the Jets last year and there should be enough to go around this week to make him a solid start. SS Abram Elam is a sleeper that fantasy GM's should keep their eye on going forward but don't expect much this week.
Five-Star Plays: D'Qwell Jackson LB
Four-Star Plays: Shaun Rogers DT
Three-Star Plays: Eric Barton LB
Two-Star Plays: Kamerion Wimbley LB
One-Star Plays: Brodney Pool FS
NY Jets: The Jets defense should get a shot in the arm with new Head Coach and former Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan coming to town. Joining Ryan in New York from Baltimore is LB Bart Scott and SS Jim Leonhard. In the Jets 3-4, Scott will be playing next to LB David Harris who is coming back from injury in 2008. Both should be solid plays versus a Houston team that should be one of the better offensive teams in 2009. Many are hoping that Kerry Rhodes will return to being a top performing S under Ryan but don't be surprised if Leonhard ends up being the more productive fantasy player. CB Lito Sheppard is still wearing green but it's not the same shade as the Eagle green he wore last year. With Darrelle Revis manning the other CB position don't be shocked to see Matt Schaub targeting Sheppard's side of the field early and often. LB Calvin Pace is opening the season on the suspended list giving former 1st rounder LB Vernon Gholston a chance to shine.
Four-Star Plays: Lito Sheppard CB Jim Leonhard SS
Three-Star Plays: Bart Scott LB David Harris LB Kerry Rhodes FS Kris Jenkins DT
Two-Star Plays: Darrelle Revis CB
One-Star Plays: Vernon Gholston LB
Houston: Expect the Texans to face a hard and heavy rushing attack from the Jets as a way to try to protect their star rookie QB Mark Sanchez. DeMeco Ryans looks to be healthy and there is no reason not to expect him to perform like the stud that he is. Last year, Zac Diles burst onto the scene and was a waiver wire darling but then he broke his leg. Coming into the season Diles was working in a reserve role but the poor play of LB Xavier Adibi in the preseason has thrust him back into a starting role. LB Adibi should still see the field enough to limit the fantasy production of Diles. Expect to see DE Mario Williams welcome Mark Sanchez to the NFL. This season should help to solidify Williams as the stud that he is.
Five-Star Plays: Mario Williams DE DeMeco Ryans LB
Four-Star Plays: Amobi Okoye DT
Three-Star Plays: Zac Diles LB
Two-Star Plays: Antonio Smith DE
One-Star Plays: Brian Cushing LB
Jacksonville: LB Justin Durant was anointed the starting MLB earlier this year by coach Jack Del Rio and the result should be very positive for Durant owners. With Durant taking over the MLB spot that means that LB Daryl Smith was being moved back to his former WLB position. DE Derrick Harvey should take a step forward this year but this week he would be better off left on the bench as Peyton Manning doesn't take many sacks. Look for Manning to pick on rookie CB Derek Cox all day long. The "rookie corner rule" is in full effect for this matchup.
Five-Star Plays: Derek Cox CB
Four-Star Plays: Justin Durant LB
Three-Star Plays: Daryl Smith LB
Two-Star Plays: Derrick Harvey DE John Henderson DT Rashean Mathis CB
One-Star Plays: Clint Ingram LB
Indianapolis: LB Gary Brackett returns from injury to anchor the Colts LB group and he is a solid play versus the Jaguars. LB Clint Session takes over the WLB job that was manned by Freddie Keiaho last year. DE Dwight Freeney and DE Robert Mathis are one of the best tandems in the NFL but Mathis is the safe fantasy play as Freeney is too inconsistent. SS Bob Sanders is injured again, will miss this week's tilt, and is being replaced in the starting lineup by SS Melvin Bullitt who should be a safe start in deeper leagues this week.
Four-Star Plays: Gary Brackett LB Clint Session LB
Three-Star Plays: Robert Mathis DE Melvin Bullitt SS
Two-Star Plays: Dwight Freeney DE
One-Star Plays: Ed Johnson DT Marlin Jackson CB
Detroit: The Lions seem to be going in the right direction. Then again, can they go any farther in the wrong direction? With that said, the Lions did make a few nice acquisitions this offseason. LB Julian Peterson was acquired from the Seattle for DT Cory Redding and LB Larry Foote formerly of Pittsburgh will man two of the starting LB spots. Foote should be a safe play as the Lions MLB this week but until we see how nickel snaps shakes out there is some risk in starting him and Peterson. LB Ernie Sims will continue to be the starter at WLB and should be a three down linebacker. Sims doesn't present the upper echelon stats that were hoped for when he first came into the league but he should put up solid LB2 numbers this week and for the season. FS Louis Delmas has looked great in practice and the rookie 2nd rounder should be an above average start against the high flying Saints offense. The Lions biggest Achilles heel is probably their defensive line and this week versus QB Drew Brees it is best to bench them all since Brees has been one of the least sacked QB's in the NFL.
Three-Star Plays: Ernie Sims LB Larry Foote LB Louis Delmas FS
Two-Star Plays: Julian Peterson LB
One-Star Plays: DeWayne White DE
New Orleans: Both DE Will Smith and DE Charles Grant will be active and play in week 1. Both should be above average plays against rookie QB Matthew Stafford. Going forward there is still a chance that Smith and Grant will have to serve 4 game suspensions due to testing positive for bumetanide last season (better known as the StarCaps case). LB Jonathan Vilma returns for his second season with the Saints and it should be a top 5ish season at that. Vilma may have his chances limited by an inept Lions offense but you still need to start him. Look for 2nd year CB Tracy Porter to have a solid game with the good possibility of picking of a Stafford pass or two.
Four-Star Plays: Jonathan Vilma LB Will Smith DE
Three-Star Plays: Charles Grant DE Roman Harper SS Tracy Porter CB
Two-Star Plays: Darren Sharper FS Scott Shanle LB
One-Star Plays: Scott Fujita LB Kendrick Clancy DT
Dallas: LB DeMarcus Ware is the big name on the Dallas defense but when it comes to fantasy production LB Bradie James is who fantasy GM's should be relying on for week to week production. If you are in a sack heavy league then Ware is a no brainer start but in tackle heavy leagues he is to inconsistent to rely on weekly. However, this is a week where you should be able to insert Ware and expect one to two sacks and maybe even a forced fumble. LB Keith Brookings arrives from the Falcons and takes over for the departed Zach Thomas next to Bradie James at the other ILB position. Brookings looks like he will end up being a low level LB3 or high level LB4 this season.
Five-Star Plays: DeMarcus Ware LB
Four-Star Plays: Bradie James LB
Three-Star Plays: Jay Ratliff DT Ken Hamlin FS
Two-Star Plays: Keith Brooking LB Anthony Spencer LB
One-Star Plays: Terrance Newman CB Igor Olshansky DE Marcus Spears DE
Tampa Bay: The best news of the fantasy offseason had to be for LB Barrett Ruud owners when it was announced that Jim Bates would be the Tampa Bay defensive coordinator. Middle linebackers flourish in the system that Bates runs which can be seen by looking at the past performances of Zach Thomas, DJ Williams and Jesse Tuggle. When coupled with the assumption that the Tampa Bay offense will struggle this year it is easy to understand why I have Ruud ranked as my #1 LB for this season. This will also be the 1st time in 14 seasons that Derrick Brooks will not be a part of the Tampa Bay defense. Brooks was going to be replaced by converted SS Jermaine Phillips but Phillips will start the season playing SS due to the suspension to Tanard Jackson. LB Geno Hayes will start in place of the departed Brooks at WLB and has some nice upside because of it. DE Gaines Adams should take a major step forward this season into elite status. Five-Star Plays: Barrett Ruud LB Jermaine Phillips SS
Four-Star Plays: Geno Hayes LB Gaines Adams DE
Three-Star Plays: Ronde Barber CB
Two-Star Plays: Aqib Talib CB Sabby Piscitelli FS
One-Star Plays: Quincy Black LB
San Francisco: LB Patrick Willis is about as plug & play as it gets for fantasy owners but versus a pass happy Arizona team his tackle opportunities could be limited. Still he is a stud and you have to start him just stay off the ledge if he gets off to a pedestrian start. DE Justin Smith may see less time as an OLB in the 3-4 this year but gets a pretty good matchup versus an immobile Kurt Warner. CB Nate Clements & SS Michael Lewis both should be in line for a very good game.
Four-Star Plays: Patrick Willis LB Michael Lewis SS
Three-Star Plays: Justin Smith DE
Two-Star Plays: Dashon Goldson FS
One-Star Plays: Takeo Spikes LB
Arizona: The Cardinals should get a healthy dose of RB Frank Gore this week and that bodes well for LB Karlos Dansby owners. Dansby solidified his stud status last year and will easily be a LB1 again this year. SS Adrian Wilson is healthy and looks primed for a great season. Expect him to make plenty of plays in the secondary and to be active blitzing QB Shaun Hill too. LB Gerald Hayes should be a solid yet unspectacular play facing the 49ers heavy rushing attack.
Five-Star Plays: Karlos Dansby LB Adrian Wilson SS
Four-Star Plays: Gerald Hayes LB Darnell Dockett DT
Three-Star Plays: Antrel Rolle FS
Two-Star Plays: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB
One-Star Plays: Calais Campbell DE
Washington: Look for 100 million dollar DT Albert Haynesworth to have a huge impact on the Washington defense this year both fantasy and NFL wise. Fantasy wise Haynesworth remains a top DT play, especially this week versus what should be a heavy running game of the Giants. The Redskins defense was top 5 without Haynesworth last year and will be even better this year. Rookie LB Brian Orakpo lost most of his fantasy value when he was moved from DE to LB but should provide good value NFL wise. LB London Fletcher and SS Chris Horton could see Haynesworth eat into their production this year so temper your expectations from them this year. FS Laron Landry is an elite NFL talent but stuck in fantasy purgatory playing the deep part of the field.
Four-Star Plays: London Fletcher LB
Three-Star Plays: Chris Horton SS Andre Carter DE Albert Haynesworth DT
Two-Star Plays: Rocky McIntosh LB Brian Orakpo LB
One-Star Plays: Laron Landry FS Fred Smoot CB
NY Giants: This Giants defense has all the makings for another exceptional unit this year. SS Kenny Phillips should take a step forward in his sophomore season and end up as a solid fantasy contributor. Not that the Giants needed it but they added to an already great defensive line with the additions of DT Rocky Bernard and DT Chris Canty. DE Osi Umenyiora is returning after missing last year due to injury and he should return to stud DE status instantly. LB Antonio Pierce was inconsistent last year and with the strength of the defensive line the same can be expected this year.
Four-Star Plays: Justin Tuck DE Osi Umenyiora DE
Three-Star Plays: Rocky Bernard DT Kenny Phillips SS
Two-Star Plays: Mathias Kiwanuka DE
One-Star Plays: Michael Johnson FS
St. Louis: The Rams are in rebuilding mode and their defense should see plenty of action this year. FS Oshiomogho Atogwe looks to be a very good play this week and should end the season as the Rams top fantasy player and as a top 5-10 defensive back. Second year DE Chris Long should continue to improve and is a good play against a beaten up Seattle OL. If you are in a dynasty league and you don't own Long you better make a play for him sooner rather than later. The Rams also drafted LB James "Little Animal" Laurinaitis to play MLB and he should be a high level LB2 with some upside. If you aren't sure why his nickname is "Little Animal" it is because his father is the former Road Warrior known as Animal. Five-Star Plays: Oshiomogho Atogwe FS
Four-Star Plays: James Laurinaitis LB Chris Long DE
Three-Star Plays: Will Witherspoon LB
Two-Star Plays: Leonard Little DE
One-Star Plays: David Vobora LB
Seattle: This past offseason Seattle sent LB Julian Peterson to Detroit for DE/DT Cory Redding and then promptly replaced Peterson with 1st round pick LB Aaron Curry. Curry should work his way into being a consistent fantasy producer as the season progresses but LB Lofa Tatupu is still playing MLB and is likely to still lead the team in tackles. Both DE Darryl Tapp and DE Patrick Kerney should have productive games versus the Rams. Just be cautious with Tapp as he looks to be used in rotation with DE Lawrence Jackson and Redding.
Four-Star Plays: Patrick Kerney DE Brandon Mebane DT
Three-Star Plays: Darryl Tapp DE Lofa Tatupu LB Leroy Hill LB Aaron Curry LB
Two-Star Plays: Lawrence Jackson DE
One-Star Plays: Deon Grant SS
Chicago: When it comes to the Bears defense LB Brian Urlacher is face of the defense but make no mistake that Urlacher has lost a step and shouldn't be relied up as a LB1. He will still be a solid fantasy player just not the former stud that he used to be. On the other hand LB Lance Briggs is a low level LB1 and should get a good start to his season this week. CB Charles Tillman was money for fantasy owners last year but he is far from healthy going into this week 1 tilt and you should look for other options if you have them.
Four-Star Plays: Lance Briggs LB Kevin Payne SS
Three-Star Plays: Brian Urlacher LB Adewale Ogunleye DE Alex Brown DE
Two-Star Plays: Charles Tillman CB
One-Star Plays: Tommie Harris DT
Green Bay: Dom Capers comes to town as the Packers new defensive coordinator and has brought his 3-4 defensive scheme with him. LB Aaron Kampman takes a big hit fantasy wise with his move from DE to LB. The jury is also out on how the move to a 3-4 is going to affect LB Nick Barnett and LB AJ Hawk until we see who plays in sub packages.
Three-Star Plays: Nick Barnett LB AJ Hawk LB Charles Woodson CB Atari Bigby SS
Two-Star Plays: Aaron Kampman LB
One-Star Plays: Cullen Jenkins DE
Buffalo: The Bills defense looks to have their hands full with the Tom Brady led Patriots team to open the season. LB Paul Posluszny looks to build on a good sophomore season and hopefully take a step towards being a stud fantasy LB. With the amount of time the Bills defense could spend on the field that is a real possibility. DE Aaron Schobel will be coming back from injury last year and should see a good bounce back year but don't expect much versus the Patriots this week. CB's Terrence McGee and Leodis McKelvin should be plenty busy this week.
Four-Star Plays: Terrence McGee CB
Three-Star Plays: Paul Posluszny LB Kawika Mitchell LB Leodis McKelvin CB
Two-Star Plays: Aaron Schobel DE
One-Star Plays: Aaron Maybe DE Marcus Stroud DT
New England: LB Jerod Mayo had a fantastic season as a rookie last year and is easily a top 10 LB this year. His tackle opportunities could be limited this week versus and offensively challenged Bills team. Outside of Mayo the rest of the Patriots IDP plays look to be inconsistent at best. SS Patrick Chung eventually will be a force in the secondary but that time hasn't come yet. LB Adalius Thomas is still a difference maker but that difference is on an NFL level and not fantasy level.
Four-Star Plays: Jerod Mayo LB
Three-Star Plays: Vince Wilfork DT
Two-Star Plays: Adalius Thomas LB
One-Star Plays: Leigh Bodden CB Shawn Springs CB
San Diego: This week LB Shawne Merriman should be a good play versus the Raiders. I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see a multi sack game for Merriman. LB Stephen Cooper put up some very impressive fantasy stats when he returned from suspension last year and this year he should be good for a low level LB2 with some upside. The thing that may limit Cooper is that LB Kevin Burnett will be starting next to him and very well could steal some tackles from him. Burnett has the makings of being a nice sleeper this year. FS Eric Weddle should also be a strong play against the Raiders.
Four-Star Plays: Shawne Merriman LB Eric Weddle FS
Three-Star Plays: Stephen Cooper LB Kevin Burnett LB
Two-Star Plays: Clinton Hart SS
One-Star Plays: Quentin Jammer CB Antonio Cromartie CB
Oakland: Everyone was fighting for their job this preseason for the Raiders and that included the team's leading tackler from last year, LB Kirk Morrison. Morrison looks to have held on to his starting job but an elbow injury had him questionable for week 1. Currently it looks as if he will be ready to play and should be in owner's lineups. CB Nnamdi Asomugha is one of the best corners in the league and because he is so good QB's do their best to avoid throwing to his side of the field. In other words, don't start Asomugha. LB Thomas Howard should find himself busy chasing LaDainian Tomlinson from his WLB slot. Crazy Old Al Davis sent the Patriots a 1st round pick for DE Richard Seymour who so far has refused to report to the team. Talk about going from the penthouse to the outhouse. Don't be surprised if Seymour sits out the entire season. SS Tyvon Branch will not put up the numbers as good as Gibril Wilson did last year but he should put up above average numbers as long as he holds onto his starting job.
Four-Star Plays: Kirk Morrison LB
Three-Star Plays: Thomas Howard LB Tyvon Branch SS
Two-Star Plays: Greg Ellis DE
One-Star Plays: Nnamdi Asomugha CB

MedLine Citation:
PMID: 3141865 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Osteomyelitis of the maxilla is not often found. A rare case of this condition secondary to a chronic vertical root fracture of a maxillary lateral incisor, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the primary pathogen, is presented. Interesting features of this case report are the occurrence of osteomyelitis in the maxilla, the rare isolate of P. aeruginosa, and the clinical problems associated with the diagnosis of vertical root fractures. The combination of surgical, endodontic, and antimicrobial therapy used is described. |

Focusing on the good things, former Marine believes he's turned a corner
CHICO, Calif. — Battlefield scars, both physical and emotional, overwhelmed Nick Wright for half of his adult life.
As recently as last year, his depression seemed to be deepening. With a fifth child on the way, Wright began to wonder if his choice of charting his own path to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder was fair to himself, or his family.
The former Marine, who recently turned 30, doesn't know if his fierce determination or just the passage of time finally led him to focus on all the good things in his world. So far, that simple but not so obvious notion seems to be moving him forward.
"It's getting there," Wright says about his life six years after being diagnosed with PTSD.
"There hasn't been one (expletive) year that hasn't been a struggle, but it's getting better," he said. "Nothing's ever easy. Who the hell ever said it would be?"
Wright returned from Iraq in 2006 a decorated war hero, but felt isolated and unappreciated in civilian life. Like many combat veterans, he spent most of his time "bunkering down" at home, avoiding situations that might trigger emotions left over from the battlefield.
"I was pissed off and a little scary then," he recalled.
His contacts with the outside world were mostly limited to job interviews, which often ended abruptly when Wright was asked about his PTSD diagnosis. He came to believe some potential employers regarded applicants with combat-related emotional issues as risky as those with serious criminal records.
He landed one job with a national retail chain, but reluctantly quit when recurring headaches from a war wound caused him to miss several days of work.
Late last year a couple of jobs through a temp agency led Wright to a permanent position with a company that delivers and sets up medical equipment for hospice patients. Despite the nature of the work, he said he has found a certain satisfaction in helping patients and family members facing end-of-life issues.
"I get to help patients who are passing on," he said. "You get to understand how the patient's families feel, and it gives me some peace of mind knowing that I did my best to make everyone more comfortable."
The job has helped him recapture some of the spirit and focus that saw him through three tours of duty in Iraq.
"Right now I'm being far more social than I used to be," Wright said. "I know it starts with me."
Once agitated to the brink of aggression by the rudeness of strangers, Wright said he is learning to accept people for who they are.
"I have to push myself to do the right things," he said. "I've learned to say 'forget it' and just kind of push on."
Wright remains supportive of U.S. military involvement in the Middle East, but said he's been disappointed over several incidents involving the behavior of personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. None are more upsetting, he said, than the tragedy last month that took the life of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, a sniper credited with the highest number of combat kills in U.S. history.
Kyle and a neighbor, Chad Littlefield, took former Marine Eddie Ray Routh, 25, to a Texas firing range thinking it would help ease his symptoms from PTSD. Routh is accused of, for reasons yet unknown, turning on the two men, shooting them both dead with a semi-automatic pistol.
Wright believes Routh should be punished but should also be helped if PTSD is determined to be the cause of the shooting. "I don't think he can be helped, but I would give it a try," Wright said. "I think he kind of went off the deep end, but I wouldn't give up hope."
Wright said, under certain circumstances, he would risk his safety to help out a fellow veteran with emotional issues.
He hasn't fired a weapon since his discharge, but hasn't ruled out going to the shooting range as a way to relieve stress. He recalls "feeling naked" without his M-16 a long time after returning home.
Wright said he never gave up on himself, yet he understands the destructive emotions war veterans are sometimes powerless to control.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Trailer Officially Released
Sega confirmed today it will launch an "epic" Thor third-person adventure game in summer 2011 to coincide with the release of the Marvel Studios film. Writer Matt Fraction is serving as a story consultant.
According to the announcement, Thor: The Video Game "will delve deep into the heroic tales of the Thor universe," with players battling "an array of ancient enemies and beasts from the many worlds of Norse mythology by using different battle strategies and elemental powers." Mjolnir will allow gamers to command the powers of the storm. Thor is being developed for all five major console platforms.
Word of the video game leaked in September when notes from a meeting between representatives of Sega and Sony Computer Entertainment America were discovered on a Sega America FTP site.
See the full press release after the break:
The God of Thunder Strikes! Thor: The Video Game Coming 2011
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (July 20th, 2010) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced they will bring Marvel Entertainment Inc.'s hall-of-fame franchise Thor™ to video game systems in an epic third-person adventure game. Thor: The Video Game™ is scheduled for release on all five major console platforms in summer 2011.
Thor: The Video Game will delve deep into the heroic tales of the Thor universe. Eisner Award-winning writer and lead Thor comic book author Matt Fraction brings authenticity to the narrative as a story consultant, and elevates the story beyond the comic and movie universe throughout the video game. Players will take on an array of ancient enemies and beasts from the many worlds of Norse mythology by using different battle strategies and elemental powers. The sacred Mjolnir, Thor's legendary hammer, will allow players to command the powers of the storm: wind, thunder and lightning. By earning Valor in combat throughout the game, players will also be able to select from a wider range of abilities, acquire new attacks, powers and upgrades.
"We are proud to be bringing Thor to his first solo video game adventure" commented Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America. "Thor: The Video Game will finally bring the immense power of this iconic hero to lifelong fans, and introduce the God of Thunder to a whole new audience as a true Marvel Super Hero."
Each version of the game is being developed to take advantage of all five console platforms. The PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360® version will feature cinematic, third-person action gameplay with melee combos, ranged hammer throws, tide-turning elemental powers and an upgrade system to bolster Thor's powers as gamers progress. Players will be able to follow the same overarching story in the PSP™, Nintendo Wii™ and DS™ versions presented in a comic book style, allowing fans to explore new content in the same universe.
While taking its inspiration directly from the mythology of the comics, Thor: The Video Game will launch around the time of the upcoming Thor film adaptation from Marvel Studios.
Brought to the Marvel Universe by the legendary Stan Lee and his brother Larry Lieber, and penciled by noted artist Jack Kirby, Thor first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1962. Based on Norse mythology, the Marvel character of Thor became a comic book Super Hero both in his own right and as a member of the Avengers alongside comic book icons The Hulk™, Iron Man™ and Captain America™. Thor: The Video Game marks the character's progression from mythology to comics, TV, then film and now to interactive entertainment in his first standalone appearance in a videogame.

Bauder College
0 Any experiences with this school? I went to the information session last week and it sounded too good to be true (except the ridiculous tuition..). 12 month LPN and 15 month RN with all prereqs included.
It seems the program is BRAND NEW with the first class still enrolled, and it seems nobody really knows about it which is good for chances of getting in I suppose!

It is a rather large mall well organized, with a beautiful decoration.
Loganberry Books in the Shaker Square area (of Shaker Hts) is AMAZING!! After Border's closed and I needed to find a new bookstore, I found Loganberry. After being recommended from a few friends, I tried it. I'm hooked! The wooden floor creeks when you walk, books of varying ages, and even a store cat :-) I always joke that I was born in the wrong era and this bookstore fits me perfectly. My lates aquisition was a book of Emily Dickinson poetry published in 1941. They do not have many mass print books, but they'll order them for you if you want them to. The books, for the most part, are ones that a true "bookie" or nerd (I'm both- and proud of it) would get excited over. My first trip, I only planned to go in, grab a book, and leave. I was in there for at least 2 hours. They have lectures, a book club, and other events going on all the time. Definitely a must for anyone who loves the feel and smell of literature at it's finest!
Farkas Pastry Shoppe has very yummy, interesting pastries. You can find bakery items here you can't find anywhere else. I really enjoyed a piece of cake made with ground almonds and raspberry jam. And the owner was very friendly. Most of their business is for restaurants, but they open to the public on Saturdays. It's down the street from the West Side Market.
Avenue at The Tower City Center (end).
There are stores (clothes, footware), restaurants and a cinema.
The Local Hard Rock Cafe is here.
Galleria - E 9th & St Clair - Downtown Cleveland -
A sympathetic mall near Lakeside. But smaller than Tower City Center.
