The 1930s saw Billie at the height of her career. She worked with some greats of jazz like Count Basie, Artie Shaw, and Teddy Wilson. She not only broke color barriers but transended them. Unfortunately, her success was not enough to conquer her past demons. By the 1950s, Holiday's drug abuse, drinking, and relationships with abusive men caused her health to deteriorate. She appeared on the ABC reality series The Comeback Story to discuss attempts to overcome her misfortunes. Her later recordings showed the effects of declining health on her voice, as it grew coarse and no longer projected its former vibrancy.
On March 28, 1957, Holiday married Louis McKay, a Mafia enforcer, who like most of the men in her life was abusive, but he did try to get her off drugs. They were separated at the time of her death, but McKay had plans to start a chain of Billie Holiday vocal studios, à la Arthur Murray dance schools.
Holiday's late recordings on Verve constitute about a third of her commercial recorded legacy and are as popular as her earlier work for the Columbia, Commodore and Decca labels. In later years, her voice became more fragile, but it never lost the edge that had always made it so distinctive.
In early 1959 she found out that she had cirrhosis of the liver. The doctor told her to stop drinking, which she did for a short time, but soon returned to heavy drinking. By May she had lost twenty pounds. Friends Leonard Feather, Joe Glaser, and Allan Morrison tried to get her to check into to a hospital, but she put them off.
On May 31, 1959, Holiday was taken to Metropolitan Hospital in New York suffering from liver and heart disease. She was arrested for drug possession as she lay dying, and her hospital room was raided by authorities. Police officers were stationed at the door to her room. Holiday remained under police guard at the hospital until she died from pulmonary edema and heart failure caused by cirrhosis of the liver on July 17, 1959. In the final years of her life, she had been progressively swindled out of her earnings, and she died with $0.70 in the bank and $750 (a tabloid fee) on her person. Her funeral mass was held at Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City.
Gilbert Millstein of The New York Times, who had been the narrator at Billie Holiday's 1956 Carnegie Hall concerts and had partly written the sleeve notes for the album The Essential Billie Holiday described her death in these same 1961-dated sleeve notes:
"Billie Holiday died in the Metropolitan Hospital, New York, on Friday, July 17, 1959, in the bed in which she had been arrested for illegal possession of narcotics a little more than a month before, as she lay mortally ill; in the room from which a police guard had been removed – by court order – only a few hours before her death, which, like her life, was disorderly and pitiful. She had been strikingly beautiful, but she was wasted physically to a small, grotesque caricature of herself. The worms of every kind of excess – drugs were only one – had eaten her ... The likelihood exists that among the last thoughts of this cynical, sentimental, profane, generous and greatly talented woman of 44 was the belief that she was to be arraigned the following morning. She would have been, eventually, although possibly not that quickly. In any case, she removed herself finally from the jurisdiction of any court here below"...

Wow! I had never known about Billie Holiday's life! This was a great post and so heartbreaking too. I can't imagine laying there dying as police are raiding your room...seems a little disrespectful to me I guess.
Thank you so much for joining in the blogathon!RepliesMy mom had just started her nursing career in Metropolitan Hospital back in 1959. Billie Holiday was one of her first patients. I remember her telling me about her arrest and doing drugs in her hospital room. At that time, I had never heard of Billie. I was only 16. I know my mom was heartbroken about the tragedy of her life. Since then, I became a huge fan. That's my small link to that great woman. I love her music, her voice and her tender expression.
Have you see the film, Lady Sings the Blues (1972). The biographical film about jazz singer Billie Holiday, loosely based on her life? Diana Ross plays Holiday. It is an awesome film..
I'm glad you chose to pay tribute to Billie Holiday! She certainly had a voice like no other. I could listen to her and Dinah Washington all day.
You've written a great tribute. I enjoyed reading information I didn't know about Billie! It's sad really that her troubled life and death often overshadow her amazing talent. A voice like an angel and a death undeserving of anyone.
PageI did not know Lady Billie's life was so tragic. My heart pains and tears swell in my eyes and down my cheeks. I get angry when people refer to her illinesses as weaknesses. She was born in a physical and emotional war. You can hear her spirit and soul in her singing. I believe she continued to look for ways to deal with all of her pains. I never knew she went through all of that. It is horrible the way she was mistreated by people and organizations. She was a beautiful talented lady. God Bless her spirit.
Brenda McDougalThan you for the tribute to Lady Billy. She was a beautifully talented lady. My heart pains and tears roll down my cheeks. It is so horrible the way people and organizations treated her. I get angry when people refer to her pain and illnesses as weaknesses. This beautiful lady was born in a physical, emotional, and financial war with so little resources available to her. You can feel her spirit and soul when you listen to her music. I see her continually trying to deal with all the pain she was in.

No one knew her pain but GOD ! Sometimes music is not enough,especially when it stops playing !!!!!!
ReplyDelete I played the role of Joe Glaser (Billies manager) in a play called Shades of Blue: The Decline and Fall of Lady Day written by Steven Carl McCasland! We just closed with our last performance 2 days ago. It was a raw look at this super talented individual. It dealt with her last years all the way until the day of her death. She was handcuffed to her bed when she died at Metropolitan Hospital. This play had no music and it was factual! It was a great piece of work by all the actors involved and great writing. Look for it in the future! A must see. All performances were sold out and it's a great way to understand her life. To hide her pain (she was raped at the age of 13 the same time her mother left her) very sad life!

A Republican foreign policy must read history and the present with clear eyes
- By Will Inboden
Originally published as part of a roundtable discussion on an article by Danielle Pletka about the future of the Republican party.
It is not the best of times for Republicans on foreign policy. Having just lost another presidential election and being the minority party in the Senate (the congressional branch with the most involvement on foreign policy), the GOP finds its center of gravity relegated to the House of Representatives and state governors' mansions, where foreign policy ranges from a secondary (the House) to non-existent (governorships) issue. Exit polls from the 2012 election show that the GOP has lost its historic advantage on national security to Democrats in the minds of the American people. It is an appropriate time for Republicans to take stock of where we stand on foreign policy, and Danielle Pletka's article is a welcome spur to this effort.
A meaningful debate within the party is the logical next step. Here I would remind my fellow Republicans that our more partisan critics in places like the media and the Democratic Party have favored attack lines they will employ no matter what path we pursue. If the GOP unites around a particular national security platform, we will be derided for "squelching dissent" and "being hijacked by ideological extremists." Whereas if the GOP has a substantive internal debate on foreign policy and multiple camps emerge, we can expect stories about "the GOP in disarray" and "internal feuding and incoherence." The lesson in this? Have the debate because it is a constructive and needful thing to do; just don't enlist persistent critics of the GOP as referees.
So what should a GOP foreign policy look like? An unappreciated but essential part of foreign policy is accurately reading the state of the world and the tides of history. Past Republican successes have come in part from enduring principles and competent implementation, but also from a proper appreciation for the state of the international system and America's capabilities at that particular historical moment. Thus Teddy Roosevelt at the dawn of the 20th century accurately saw the opportunity for the United States to look beyond its continental preoccupations and assert itself as an emerging global power. Dwight Eisenhower at mid-century realized the need for America as a global superpower to build a Cold War strategy based on balancing domestic economic growth and national security needs with a prudential but still assertive international posture. Richard Nixon, taking office during a time of overextension and strategic vulnerability, perceived the imperative to reconfigure the global chessboard in ways more favorable to America's diminished hand. Ronald Reagan, who won election amidst national decline and global diminishment, abandoned the conventional wisdom in pursuing a strategy of renewal at home simultaneously with a more assertive posture abroad. George H.W. Bush inherited a strong nation and presided over the end of the Cold War and restructuring of the international order while avoiding overreach. George W. Bush realized that the Sept. 11th attacks demanded a new counterterrorism paradigm, of both tools and doctrines. The twin facts that the United States has not been attacked since and that the Obama administration has maintained this paradigm testify to the success of this strategy.
Mindful of this history, the question for the future of Republican foreign policy should begin not with where we think the Democrats may be wrong, but with what we think the state of the international system is today and how it can be shaped in ways favorable to U.S. interests and consonant with American values. Like many other Republicans, I share Pletka's reverence for Reagan's presidency and agree that his values offer a good starting point for foreign policy today. But updating the Reagan legacy for the 21st century means appreciating how Reagan's day differed from our own even as his principles endure.
This does not mean abandoning our critique of where the other party gets things wrong. Judging from recent trends, I suspect the Obama administration's second term might present some particular opportunities for the GOP to offer a compelling alternative, especially leading up to 2016. As Peter Feaver and I have pointed out before, the Obama administration's successes in the first term largely came when following the Bush playbook, such as preserving the policy and legal framework for the war against jihadist terrorism or a dual-track strategic posture in Asia of both balancing and engaging with China. The Obama administration's failures in the first term, however, were generally sui generis, reflecting either poor judgment or deferred action on hard issues, and sometimes both.
Unfortunately, those hard issues are only getting harder. To take just one example, the White House should realize it has a serious problem with its Syria policy when senior French officials disparage its posture as "waiting from behind." Nor do other places look good: Iran, Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and North Korea are all situations where the Obama administration's current policy lines and assumptions are not promising. Republicans have a chance to say how we think these things could be handled better.

Dodge, Toby (2010) The failure of sanctions and the evolution of international policy towards Iraq, 1990–2003. Contemporary Arab Affairs, 3 (1). pp. 83-91. ISSN 1755-0912
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The day after Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 660 condemning Iraq's aggression and demanding that it withdraw. A week later it passed Resolution 661 demanding that UN Member States prevent all trade and financial transactions with Iraq. In all of its previous history, the Security Council had only imposed sanctions to discipline errant states twice before. The precedent used for the drafting of Resolution 661 was the sanctions imposed on Rhodesia in December 1966 after it had declared independence from Britain. This signified something of an empirical vacuum where those drafting resolutions in New York deployed a set of assumptions that gave both the theory and practise of sanctions their coherence. It was assumed that a state, when faced with an on‐going economic embargo, would be forced to react in predictable ways. If the application of sanctions caused enough suffering within society, then popular discontent would eventually force the ruling elite to change policy and work to lift sanctions as theoretically the state cannot escape public opinion or ignore a population whose economic well‐being has been seriously damaged by the application of sanctions. In 1990–1991 the economic and political assumptions underpinning the practice of sanctions appeared to make Iraq an ideal candidate for their application given that 95% of Iraq's foreign exchange earnings came directly from oil exports. In addition, the economy was dependent upon food imports costing US$3 billion annually. However, these assumptions along with the normative vision that gave sanctions their ideological coherence were proven wrong as the Iraqi regime manoeuvred to entrench itself further within society and actually strengthen its position.

They can't. It was a rigged survey because it only had a choice between 5 of them. I'd bet that if they could have chosen from any president that BO would be number one, Carter number two and most likly JFK number three. Living in MA I know and deal with a great many democrats and liberals and I have yet to find any that don't think Carter was one of the best if not the best president of all time.

you have to love gallup even when the numbers show that reagan is viewed as the greatest president they pull some crap out of their butts to say Lincoln was. The poll says Reagan period. And the present GOp better remember that. It does not say Bush nor Bush 1. The Americian people do not want a moderate Bush policy form their REP President.

Kennedy didn't even have a full term and he brought us closest to nuclear war than any other although Democrats will tell you Reagan did when he pointed a few missiles at the USSR. I think Polish people have a different view of that but I digress. Kennedy is ALL mystique because his the 1st Pres. Shot and killed in technicolor. The world mourned and their we're a lot of Democrats that built on that to garner sympathy ala Paul Wellstone on a grander scale with 'Camelot' and all.
Same goes for FDR. My dad said that even though he ended up conservative, he loved FDR. Sitting in front of the radio listening to him gave him lots of HOPE. I think my dad's an idiot. It's like your dad telling you a feel good story to occupy your mind while your huddled in a bunker because he doesn't want to spend his time listening to kids cry over REAL fears.
Conservatives take note that with ALL the warmongering, Iran Contra, No lunch for school kids, alpo for seniors, pro life zealot, religios fanatic, Reagonomics, trickle down economics, old, dumb, movie star acting as Pres., etc. that the MSM has been using to describe Reagan for years, he's still the most beloved Pres. our modern history.

He was young, and a Kennedy. And was martyred.
I don't know of those are really things he did – "young" and "Kennedy" are states of being more than they are accomplishments, and being martyred by a communist assassin is really something that happened to you, unfortunately (not an accomplishment, though).
Help me out here. He didn't like commies, and believed that cutting taxes was a good way to get the economy going, so maybe in that sense, he was Reaganesque and benefited in the poll from that. As for landmark accomplismhemts that forever changed America? I can't think of any off the top of my head.
As a side note, JFK wouldn't recognize his own political party today. He'd be a Republican.

Washington is the greatest… I'm not terribly surprised that only 6% of Democrats picked him (most have probably never even heard of him… or only learned in public school that he owned slaves).
FDR is the worst. If the USA ever falters, historians will trace the seeds back to his administration. He had no regard for the Constitution. He tried to manipulate the Supreme Court to destroy it.
He was first to use Soviet-style propaganda to convince Americans that he was a god-like figure sent to save America (the sort of self-agrandizement Washington despised in a man). He savaged Hoover over debt before launching his massive spending programs to "create jobs" (sound familiar?).
Hollywood sang songs about him and featured huge pictures of him in their movies. He was the first "savior" who was all style and no substance. He proposed a 100% tax on income over 25K during the war after nearly bankrupting the treasury in the 30s while accomplishing nothing. He gave Socialism a friendly face and another name.
He was a horrible man. He made LBJ (#2), Carter (#3) and Obama possible.

The fact that Kennedy is even named in the top 5 shows you what is wrong with the liberal mind.
Dritanian on February 11, 2009 at 8:54 AM
Yikes, Washington at 9%, that's sad.
reaganaut on February 11, 2009 at 8:54 AM
BS. Lincoln was the worst President in history. Completely overrated piece of garbage.
The correct answer has to be Washington or Jefferson.
Reagan wasn't bad, if you like borrow-and-spend.
I visited the Reagan Library last spring. Highly recommended if you're ever in SoCal. Beautiful location in Simi Valley.
JammieWearingFool on February 11, 2009 at 8:55 AM
JFK and Bobby Kennedy were HUGE supporters of Joe McCarthy. John put off back surgery to stay in DC and defend McCarthy… RFK named Joe the godfather of his daughter (Kathleen). Most libs don't know this (see again: public schools).
JFK's legacy is a botched Bay of Pigs… the weakening of US foreign policy and the seeds of defeat in Vietnam.
He was a tax-cutter, however… and although not competent, he was an anti-Communist and he was pro-defense.
BS. Lincoln was the worst President in history. Completely overrated piece of garbage.
The correct answer has to be Washington or Jefferson.
Reagan wasn't bad, if you like borrow-and-spend.
The Dean on February 11, 2009 at 8:54 AM
I guess that's true if you are a Confederate and don't believe in saving the Republic. Then by golly you are 100% correct.

Lance Murdock on February 11, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Roosevelt? Really?
One of the most odious misinterpretations of history is that FDR saved us from the Depression. He prolonged it.
The Dean on February 11, 2009 at 8:54 AM
On that note, should I assume that in your mind the "greatest" President evah was Jefferson Davis????
Lance Murdock on February 11, 2009 at 9:02 AM
Reagan wasn't bad, if you like borrow-and-spend.
Reagan had Dem majorities in Congress to deal with. To get his tax cuts, he had to let them spend.
Washington was great for the precedents he set (such as only wanting two terms), & that although he could have grabbed more power (he was incredibly popular), he was content with leaving the Presidency as it is.
Re Kennedy….I like PJ O'Rourke's take:
"Here … is the fulsome scurvy truth: Old Joseph P. Kennedy was a liar and a greedy thief, an ignoramus, adulterer, vile anti-Semite, coward and pompous ass. His wife, Rose, was a frigid martinet…. They raised their nine whelps in an atmosphere of brutal pride and stupid competition. When the hapless Rosemary turned out to be retarded, they had her lobotomized and parked her with the nuns. The remaining eight turned out foolhardy, arrogant, unprincipled…. Two were shot, but under the most romantic circumstances and not, as might have been hoped, after due process of law."
JohnTant on February 11, 2009 at 9:07 AM
A note on Jefferson Davis… people whould read his memoirs… some great stuff in there.
Why is it that Washington is so underrated? Why did I leave school with only a miniscule understanding of what he really did, and only have come to appreciate him through my own studies? Sad state of our education systems, I'm afraid.
And where's John Adams?
Abby Adams on February 11, 2009 at 9:12 AM
Ha. Reagan was fourth among Democrats. The guy created 20 million new jobs and rescued the country from a DEMOCRAT debacle. Libs are just dumb. Public Schools are so inept that they don't teach what a great man Washington was.
marklmail on February 11, 2009 at 9:14 AM
JFK president for 3 disaster years, outside cutting taxes he was a monumental disaster and symbol of weakness, in reality, on the Cold War front.
the Soviets saw weakness in JFK when he offered to negotiate unconditionally with them and emboldened them to try the Cuban Misle crisis. They had no true intentions of starting a Nuke war, since we had far more nukes at the time. JFK secretly sent RFK to negotiate with them and agreed to NEVER REMOVE CASTRO FROM POWER as US unofficial policy AND to remove the Missles we had in Turkey I beleive. Everything the Soviets wanted, this was revealed in the Venona Decrypts.
also revealed is how much they feared Reagan, its really an amazing story and could make for a great movie. This is a project for Big Hollywood, the market is there.
Make a movie out of this Documentary: http://inthefaceofevil.com "Reagan's War in Word and Deed"
jp on February 11, 2009 at 9:14 AM
Washington should be first. Without his leadership, the US could have become a dictatorship. The fact that he got only 9% is probably a reflection of our clueless public education system.
I wonder what all the Lincoln voters would think of his plan to ship all blacks back to Africa. Because I highly doubt any of them know about it. In fact, I'll wager at least 15% of the people answering this poll don't know who won the Civil War.
fiatboomer on February 11, 2009 at 9:17 AM
George Washington walked away from Absolute Power, unparalled in history of the world. That alone should put him at the top. Getting us started out is up there as well, the early years were no walk in the park and plenty of fear was abound of being conquered by Britain or France.
which is partially how the Alien and Seditions Acts started.
Alexander Hamilton was of course Washington's Consiglerie basically. had burr not shot him, maybe he'd been president one day
jp on February 11, 2009 at 9:17 AM
Reagan wasn't bad, if you like borrow-and-spend.
from a Financial Analysis point of view, when your Assets increase at about a 20 to 1 rate over your Liabilities, thanks in large part to Liberating the Economy as much as he could, then Spending isn't that big a thing. Which is what Milton Friedman taught, the real measure is Spending as a Percent of GDP. Its not soley about balanced budgets, but Financial Analysis.
Aside from that, the Defense Spending paid huge dividends and was needed after years of limp D*** Dem Foreign Policy and ruining our Military.
again, watch this sometime: http://inthefaceofevil.com

jp on February 11, 2009 at 9:17 AM
Hamilton was a bastard, and even though he had rehabilitated his image some through his military career, it is unlikely that at that point in time, he could have been elected.
Basically saved the Union through his monetary policy however, and that shouldn't be overlooked. He deserves his place on the $10.
Abby Adams on February 11, 2009 at 9:22 AM
One other element you might want to credit to Kennedy is his commitment to a moon landing before the sixties expired.
But, yes, at best a mediocrity as President.
snickelfritz on February 11, 2009 at 9:25 AM
Abby Adams on February 11, 2009 at 9:22 AM
Hamilton was probably the most "street smart" and perceptive of them all, to Jefferson being the most Philosophical. hamilton gets a bad rap, many don't understand.
probably right he couldn't get elected, he had the first DC Sex Scandal of course, which probably would've sunk him.
jp on February 11, 2009 at 9:28 AM
What did the Dem Presidents accomplish? Moon landing? Welfare culture which is killing our country? Nearly got us blown up by Kremlin? Stagfation? Misery Index? Iran Hostage Crisis? Gas Lines? Good going. LOWER MY F*CKING TAXES AND GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!! Imbeciles.
marklmail on February 11, 2009 at 9:30 AM
I got in trouble in high school for announcing to a history teacher that I didn't want to learn about Kennedy again. We'd always magically jump from WWII straight to the Kennedy presidency just to make sure it got crammed in before summer break.

I am new fan,from a couple of days on site.I'm ashamed to say anything for the first time but when I see master Araya I am very relaxed, I have to recognize I have a personal sympathy.I also have brown eyes and hair and I am relaxed by brown.I was very inloved with the child voice of the master on the first albums but it is the first time I see the master,on the first albums I saw only some drawings.Please excuse my personal appreciation.
I listened first time Slayer two years ago from a sharing site and then on You Tube.I was surprised of the difference from the child voice and all "thicker"singed live.I have to recognize that I don't know for sure what's original because I also don't trust my computer entirely but I was very inloved with the child voice I first listened.I wish to find and meet other members of my age with the same simpaty.I don't like or accept to hear rap or punk,pop,disco type.

ANALISIS METODE EVALUASI TRAINING PADA PT.INTERNATIONAL POWER MITSUI.pdf Download (58kB) | Preview |
Training is an activity that requires a relatively large cost, therefore the measurement of effectiveness is highly recommended to be done, measuring the effectiveness of a training program can be reached by way of an evaluation of each training program has been implemented. Evaluation of training programs if properly implemented can provide information that is very valuable for determining the corporate policy that will come especially in regard to training. To be able to do a good evaluation of training takes a variety of things that can support the implementation of such evaluations ranging from company policies, fees, time to human resources. The purpose of this study was to determine the types of training in PT. IPMOMI, what are the methods of evaluation of the company, the extent of such evaluations to measure effectiveness of training and lack any method of evaluation of the company. This study used qualitative methods, and techniques used in data collection methods of observation, interview and documentation study. The subject of this research is PT. IPMOMI. Based on research results obtained that the current evaluation conducted at PT. IPMOMI is merely an evaluation of the level of participant satisfaction with training just by using paper and pencil tests, this causes the effectiveness of training programs by a company can not scale very well.

Edge-rusher Shane Ray cited for pot
Misdemeanor charge, court date set for June 30
Mike Krueger
| Apr 27 2015, 7:38 pm
SCOOP: Shane Ray cited for possession of marijuana this morning in Cooper County. Ray faces a misdemeanor charge and is to appear in court on June 30.
Brandon Kiley on Twitter
FFToday's Take:
Yikes. Three days before the draft isn't a good time to be busted for pot. Once thought to be a top-ten pick, concerns over Ray's foot injury had cooled his draft momentum. This latest episode won't help matters and may cause Ray to slide into Day 2 of the draft.
Redskins exercise QB RGIII's fifth-year option
Team still undecided about long-term future
paul maland
| Apr 27 2015, 3:45 pm
The Redskins have opted to use the fifth-year option on struggling QB
Robert Griffin III
. Pegged as the tentative starter for the upcoming 2015 season, he is set to make $7 million in 2015 and $16 million in 2016.
Albert Breer on Twitter
FFToday's Take:
If the Redskins can find a way to replicate his 2012 rookie success, RGIII could hold immense fantasy value. However, with recent injuries and coaching criticism, his current fantasy value is slim to none.
Titans sign Hakeem Nicks
One-year deal
Mike Krueger
| Apr 24 2015, 2:00 pm
The receiver-needy Tennessee Titans have added veteran
Hakeem Nicks
on a one-year deal, the team announced Friday. Nicks joins a group that includes
Kendall Wright
Justin Hunter
Harry Douglas
FFToday's Take:
Nicks filled the No.4 receiver role with the Colts last season and finished with 405 yards and 4 TDs, his worst season as a pro. He's likely going to find himself in a similar role in Tennessee behind Wright and Hunter. He's nothing more than a dart throw in the late rounds of your fantasy draft.
Dolphins sign WR Greg Jennings
Two-year deal
Mike Krueger
| Apr 22 2015, 6:10 pm
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that
Greg Jennings
will sign a two-year, $8 million deal with the Dolphins, according to a source informed of the deal.
FFToday's Take:
The Dolphins have overhauled their receiving corps, getting rid of
Mike Wallace
Brian Hartline
Brandon Gibson
while bringing in
Kenny Stills
Jordan Cameron
and now Jennings. Jennings is familiar with head coach Joe Philbin from their time in Green Bay and should serve as the No.3 receiver in the Dolphins offense behind Landry and Stills. He's in the WR4-5 range for redraft leagues.
Colts' RB expected to be ready for training camp
Vic Ballard coming off Achilles injury
Mike Krueger
| Apr 22 2015, 6:00 pm
Vick Ballard
talked to reporters Wednesday for the first time since tearing his Achilles in training camp last season. He says he'll be ready for training camp.
FFToday's Take:
Ballard said today that he dealt with Achilles pain during his rookie season in 2012 and this will be his first season he an play without pain since college.
Frank Gore
Dan Herron
currently sit above him on the depth chart but Ballard is someone to keep your eye on in the preseason.
Antonio Brown wants new deal
Brown skips start of voluntary conditioning program
Mike Krueger
| Apr 20 2015, 9:45 am
Steelers WR
Antonio Brown
seeking new deal. Won't attend offseason workouts, mulling holdout from minicamp, training camp, sources say.
Mike Garafola on Twitter
FFToday's Take:
Brown is under contract for three more years and scheduled to make $6 million this season, $8.25 million in 2016 and $8.7 million in 2017. The Steelers rarely negotiate new contracts with players until they reach the final year of their contract so it's unlikely Brown will get his wish. The fantasy implications are nil until Brown misses training camp.
Latimer struggled with playbook in year one
Broncos expect big jump in year two
Mike Krueger
| Apr 20 2015, 6:00 am
"It took me too long to actually catch on,"
Cody Latimer
said. "I was in the playbook, but I could have done even more. When I actually got it, it was too late. It was just way different (than college). I would know the play, then Peyton (Manning) would change it. Then I'd get to thinking too much and play slower."
Denver Post
FFToday's Take:
A classic issue for receivers first year in the league. Latimer projects to play more this season now that
Wes Welker
has been released. Latimer is expected to play on the outside with
Emmanuel Sanders
in the slot on three wide receiver sets. Gary Kubiak: "I think it's time for him to make a big jump, not just a little jump. Obviously his playing time is fixing to pick up, and it needs to pick up. We need him."
Tebow, Eagles agree on one-year deal
Eagles' offseason program begins Monday
Mike Krueger
| Apr 19 2015, 6:00 pm
Tim Tebow
plans to sign a one-year deal Monday with the Eagles, a league source said Sunday night. Tebow is scheduled to arrive in Philadelphia in time to be in attendance for the start of the Eagles' offseason program Monday.
FFToday's Take:
Tebow was in training camp with the Patriots in 2013 before being released in late August. The last time he played in the NFL came in 2012 with the Jets. He'll join
Sam Bradford
Mark Sanchez
Matt Barkley
on the quarterback depth chart. If he makes the team, Tebow will be at best the third quarterback and have no fantasy value.
Adrian Peterson to be reinstated on Friday
Can fully participate in all team activities
Mike Krueger
| Apr 16 2015, 2:25 pm
Minnesota Vikings running back
Adrian Peterson
will be reinstated effective Friday, at which point he will be able to fully participate in all team activities, the NFL announced Thursday. Peterson has been suspended from the league since Nov. 18. Peterson pleaded no contest on Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless injury charges after injuring his son while disciplining him last May.
FFToday's Take:
Peterson met with Rodger Goodell earlier this month to discuss his situation which includes continued counseling and keeping his nose squeaky clean. Peterson and his representatives have been adamant about wanting out of Minnesota but the Vikings have him under contract for three years including this season for $12.75 million. Stay tuned...
Gates expects a reduced role in 2015
Admits he played more than expected in 2014
Mike Krueger
| Apr 16 2015, 8:00 am
With injuries and whatnot, I played a little bit more than they expected me to play last season, he says. I was playing the whole game. How I feel next year, it depends on how much volume they have me doing. Id like to come in on third-and-7s, red zones, those situations. Thats what my contribution is at anyway.
FFToday's Take:
Antonio Gates
finished second in fantasy points among tight ends last season thanks to twelve trips to the endzone and multiple injuries to
Ladarius Green
(hamstring, concussion, ankle). It's rare that you hear a player suggest that his snaps be reduced but it's a logical move if Gates wants to extend his career. Barring injury, we should see Green on the field more in 2015.
Fred Jackson admits McCoy will be bellcow
"I don't know what my role is going to be yet
Mike Krueger
| Apr 15 2015, 7:00 pm
I know they say they want him to be the bell cow,
Fred Jackson
said Wednesday. They want him to take the majority of the load. But Im not going to make it easy for him. Im not going to just hand it to him and say, Heres the job.
Buffalo News
FFToday's Take:
Jackson went on to saw that he doesn't know exactly what his role will be but it's likely to be spelling
LeSean McCoy
and perhaps some third-down work. Jackson is 34 years old and was bothered by a groin injury last season. He'll need an injury to McCoy to have any significant fantasy impact in 2015.
Forte not present at voluntary workout
"I've always been there especially when it counts!
Mike Krueger
| Apr 13 2015, 7:00 pm
Amid the buzz associated with the new regime at Halas Hall, Bears running back
Matt Forte
was conspicuously absent Monday for the beginning of the voluntary offseason program. Sources said Forte let it be known he would not be in attendance. The 29-year-old is entering the final year of his contract and has expressed a desire for an extension.
Chicago Tribune
FFToday's Take:
For what it's worth, Forte tweeted: Relax everybody. It's called voluntary W/O for a reason. I've always been there especially when it counts! He's scheduled to make $8.2 million this season and it's likely the Bears aren't excited about giving a 29-year-old running back a lengthy contract extension. Expect Forte to be present for the Bears' mandatory minicamp in mid-June.
Raiders expected to sign Michael Crabtree
Veteran wideout sticking in the Bay Area
Mike Krueger
| Apr 13 2015, 6:44 pm
From @caplannfl and myself, Raiders expected to sign
Michael Crabtree
as soon as tonight.
Bill Williamson on Twitter
FFToday's Take:
If true, Crabtree would join
James Jones
Rod Streater
Andre Holmes
and perhaps a top receiving rookie as weapons for young quarterback
Derek Carr
. Crabtree caught 68 passes for 698 yards and 4 TDs last season in San Francisco but has yet to regain his form from 2012 when he finished as fantasy's No.15 wide receiver. It's hard to imagine Crabtree making a meaningful fantasy impact in 2015 as the Raiders attempt to right the ship.
Sanders expected to play more in the slot
Role will change for Broncos receiver
Mike Krueger
| Apr 13 2015, 5:30 pm
The Broncos will feature a more balanced offense centered on a zone-blocking running attack.
Emmanuel Sanders
recognizes that his role could change. He expects to play in the slot when the Broncos use a three-wide-receiver set. "I am comfortable there. I did it a lot in Pittsburgh (with the Steelers) and in college," Sanders said.
Denver Post
FFToday's Take:
The Broncos are expected to run the ball much like they did the second half of 2014.
Cody Latimer
will play on the outside in three wide receiver sets, kicking Sanders inside. As a result, it's hard to imagine Sanders repeating his 2014 performance (101-1404-9) when he finished as fantasy's No.7 wideout. A WR2 value is realistic but his early ADP is likely to be higher based off last season's WR1 production.
Le'Veon Bell gets 3-game suspension
Steelers running back will appeal
Mike Krueger
| Apr 9 2015, 11:00 am
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell has been suspended for the first three games of the regular season and fined an additional game check for violating the league's substance abuse policy, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bell is appealing the suspension, the sources said.
FFToday's Take:
We'll see if Bell's appeal is successful in reducing the amount of games he'll miss but for now his fantasy stock has taken somewhat of hit in re-draft leagues. He is still worthy of a first-round pick given his usage in the offense but you'll need to adjust your draft strategy, perhaps selecting his handcuff,
DeAngelo Williams
, a couple rounds earlier than normal.
Ridley stays in AFC East, signs with Jets
Six months removed from knee surgery
Mike Krueger
| Apr 8 2015, 6:15 pm
The New York Jets have poached another New England Patriots free agent in running back
Stevan Ridley
. While it's not as big as the
Darrelle Revis
signing, Ridley's addition gives the Jets at least one running back with a 1,000-yard season on his resume.
FFToday's Take:
Ridley joins
Chris Ivory
Bilal Powell
in a crowded Jets' backfield that will likely give fantasy owners fits this season. Ridley is coming off knee surgery after tearing his ACL last October and will likely be eased into training camp. He'll be a late-round pick in standard re-draft leagues.
Blount gets one-game suspension
Le'veon Bell likely to get two-game suspension
Mike Krueger
| Apr 7 2015, 6:37 pm
New England Patriots running back
LeGarrette Blount
has been suspended without pay for the 2015 regular-season opener, an NFL spokesman said Tuesday. Blount's suspension is for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.
FFToday's Take:
We knew Blount and former teammate Le'Veon Bell would both face suspensions after they were arrested last August for marijuana possession. Bell is likely to get a two-game suspension for his involvement in the matter. Both running backs are expected to be the lead runner for their respective teams in 2015 with Bell being a first round pick in most fantasy drafts, despite the looming suspension.
Watkins had hip surgery before Super Bowl
Injury suffered in Week 13
Mike Krueger
| Apr 3 2015, 11:15 am
Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Sammy Watkins
had offseason surgery in an area near his hip, sources told ESPN's Josina Anderson. Watkins had the procedure done sometime before the Super Bowl for the injury that was suffered in a Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns, according to sources. He had three catches for a season-low 11 yards in that game, but played every offensive snap.
FFToday's Take:
Details about the procedure are sketchy so it's difficult to project whether or not the Bills No.1 wideout will miss any of the upcoming off-season workouts. The Bills have a voluntary minicamp scheduled for April 28-30.
Texans sign WR Nate Washington
AFC South receiver stays in the division
Mike Krueger
| Apr 1 2015, 4:00 pm
The Houston Texans signed veteran wide receiver
Nate Washington
on Wednesday. Terms of the deal weren't announced. Washington, who will be 32 before the season starts, played the previous six seasons with the Tennessee Titans.
FFToday's Take:
Washington and
Cecil Shorts
have been signed to fill the void of
Andre Johnson
. Washington has filled a secondary receiver role in Tennessee the last few years and his best season came in 2011 when posted 74 receptions, 1023 yards, 7 TDs. In Houston, he'll battle Shorts for targets but in fantasy, he will likely go undrafted.
Bears add Jacquizz Rodgers to backfield
One-year deal
Mike Krueger
| Mar 31 2015, 4:30 pm
Jacquizz Rodgers
has found a new gig. The 25-year-old running back has signed a deal with the Chicago Bears, the team announced on Tuesday. Rodgers played his first four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
FFToday's Take:
Matt Forte
and Ka'Deem Carey lead the running back depth chart in Chicago. Rodgers is an asset out of the backfield as a receiver and is a better than average pass blocker given his smallish size (5-6, 196 lbs). His fantasy value is minimal unless Forte or Carey suffer an injury.
Ravens sign Schaub for backup QB duties
Will backup Joe Flacco
Mike Krueger
| Mar 31 2015, 1:00 pm
The Baltimore Ravens signed
Matt Schaub
to be their backup quarterback Tuesday. The Ravens did not disclose terms of the contract, but a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Schaub agreed to a one-year deal worth $3 million.
FFToday's Take:
Schaub was released by Raiders after appearing in only two games last season, throwing for 57 yards and two interceptions. Schaub lost his starting gig to
Derek Carr
before the season ever started. He'll serve as a backup to
Joe Flacco
Keith Wenning
penciled in as the No.3 quarterback.
Falcons expected to lose draft pick
Penalty for piping in crowd noise
Mike Krueger
| Mar 30 2015, 11:00 am
The NFL is expected to suspend Falcons president Rich McKay from the competition committee and take a draft pick from Atlanta for piping crowd noise into its stadium over the past two years, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
FFToday's Take:
Fines could also be handed to the Falcons who have already admitted to cranking up crowd noise through stadium speakers while the opposing team was huddling on offense. Atlanta has the No.8 pick in the upcoming draft.
Eagles add to receiving corps, sign Miles Austin
One-year deal
Mike Krueger
| Mar 30 2015, 6:11 am
The Eagles signed wide receiver
Miles Austin
to a one-year contract, according to a report by the NFL Network. The report said Austin's deal is worth $2.3 million, with an additional $700,000 in incentives.
FFToday's Take:
Jeremy Maclin
now in Kansas City, the Eagles are left with a void at receiver. Austin will join
Jordan Matthews
Riley Cooper
Josh Huff
in a receiving corps that will likely grow during the NFL Draft. Austin brings a veteran presence but comes with a boatload of injury risk, most notably of the hamstring variety. He's a WR5 until further notice.
Panthers sign WR Jarrett Boykin
Former Packer gets opportunity in Carolina
Mike Krueger
| Mar 27 2015, 3:00 pm
Jarrett Boykin
, will play for Ricky Proehl, the Panthers' receivers coach, after signing a one-year deal with Carolina on Friday. He will compete for playing time in a receiving group that includes second-year wideout
Kelvin Benjamin
, veteran
Jerricho Cotchery
, recently reacquired
Ted Ginn Jr.
Philly Brown
Brenton Bersin
Charlotte Observer
FFToday's Take:
Boykin saw his role reduced last year in Green Bay with the emergence of rookie
Davante Adams
. He will have a better opportunity for playing time in Carolina but with the passing offense going through Benjamin and tight end
Greg Olsen
, Boykin will be a long shot to make any kind of significant fantasy impact.
Coughlin unsure if Cruz will be ready for Week 1
Patellar tendon injury
Mike Krueger
| Mar 25 2015, 1:14 pm
Coughlin did not have anything new to say about
Victor Cruz
's recovery from a torn patellar tendon. He agreed with Cruz's personal goal that he'd be good to go by training camp, but said the team is "not gonna throw him to the wind, he'll work his way through." Coughlin added that he couldn't say with any confidence that Cruz would be ready for the first regular season game.
FFToday's Take:
Cruz's injury is more significant than an ACL and typically requires a longer recovery time. Whenever he does hit the field in 2015, he will likely be less than 100 percent. GM Jerry Reese has already stated that he doesn't expect Cruz to make the same impact he made before the injury. Cruz tore his patellar tendon last October.
Jordy Nelson had clean up procedure on hip
McCarthy: "Nothing serious"
Mike Krueger
| Mar 25 2015, 11:54 am
Asked about WR
Jordy Nelson
being seen at a recent Milwaukee Bucks game on crutches, Packers coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged that the veteran had surgery at the end of the season. Nelson was having some problems with his hip at the Pro Bowl and a decision was made to clean up the area. McCarthy said it wasn't serious. "He had some post-season work done," McCarthy said during the NFC coaches' media breakfast Wednesday. "He'll be fine in a couple of weeks. "I've seen him. I'm trying to think if it's six-to-eight weeks, but really he should answer that. But it's nothing serious."
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
FFToday's Take:
The 6-8 week timetable means Nelson should be in no danger of missing the team's OTAs or training camp. If he's limited, then we'll revisit the "it's nothing serious" comment from McCarthy. Nelson is coming off his best season a pro (98-1519-13) and will be on the WR1 radar in fantasy drafts this summer.
Whisenhunt: "Mariota Day 1 starter"
NFL Draft smoke screen?
Mike Krueger
| Mar 24 2015, 11:00 am
At first blush, hearing Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt say this at the annual AFC coaches breakfast Tuesday - "If (Marcus Mariota) comes to us at No. 2, he's definitely going to be the Day 1 starter" -- certainly makes us think the
Zach Mettenberger
era has come and gone.
FFToday's Take:
Whisenhunt went on to say they were still in the process of evaluating the Oregon quarterback. It's certainly possible the Titans could take Mariota with second overall pick but this sounds like a head coach attempting to increase the value of his drafting position. The Titans have plenty of needs and are in a good spot to move down if a trade partner can be found.
Tannenbaum comments on Wallace, Stills
Dolphins management feels comfortable with Landry, Stills
Mike Krueger
| Mar 23 2015, 1:45 pm
Mike Wallace
contributed the last few years," Dolphins executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum said. "We felt once we had
Kenny Stills
, it was a good opportunity for [Wallace] in Minnesota. It gives him a chance to get a fresh start and for us with Kenny Stills in our offense and where we project him with
Jarvis Landry
we just thought it was the right fit to do that now. "He's (Stills) played in the league. He's had a fair amount of production. His production is what it is -- it's been good. It hasn't been prolific by any stretch but we felt for what we're asking that position to do there was explosiveness. And the routes he runs well were responsibilities we felt were pretty close to what we're going to do with our offense."
Miami Herald
FFToday's Take:
The Dolphins saw an opportunity to get a younger, cheaper version of Wallace and took it. Given the comments, it's safe to assume that Landry, Stills and tight end
Jordan Cameron
will be the top targets for Tannehill in 2015.
Dwayne Bowe agrees to terms with Browns
Two-year deal
Mike Krueger
| Mar 19 2015, 2:45 pm
The Browns have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with former Chiefs receiver
Dwayne Bowe
, a league source confirmed for Northeast Ohio Media Group. The eight-year veteran of the Chiefs, 30, visited the Browns Saturday and Sunday.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
FFToday's Take:
This is a logical destination for Bowe as the Browns are void of receiving options with
Josh Gordon
facing a year-long suspension and TE
Jordan Cameron
now in Miami. Bowe's fantasy stats have declined every year since his high-water mark in 2010 where he posted 206.6 FPTs on a 72-1162-15 line. Bowe and
Brian Hartline
are penciled in as the top two receivers with Bowe's fantasy ceiling topping out as a WR3.
Markus Wheaton has competition in Bryant
Team high on Martavis Bryant heading into 2015
Jake Gordon
| Mar 18 2015, 5:30 pm
Offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who pushed hard for the Steelers to draft
Martavis Bryant
last year, called what Bryant was able to do during the second half of last season a big thing during a 30-minute Steelers Nation Unite Weekly Huddle fan forum session on Wednesday. We are looking for him to come in and make a push against
Markus Wheaton
for that No. 2 spot and continue give us big-time production, specifically in the red area where a big target like that can make a big impact, Haley said.
FFToday's Take:
This should be a nice battle during training camp but it does appear Martavis Bryant is being pegged as the team's number two receiver opposite
Antonio Brown
. Meanwhile, Markus Wheaton's fantasy stock is fading after being a third round draft pick in 2013.
Jermaine Gresham diagnosed with herniated disc
Scheduled for surgery
Jake Gordon
| Mar 18 2015, 4:46 pm
Free agent TE
Jermaine Gresham
was diagnosed today with a herniated disc, source said. Hes scheduled for surgery tomorrow.
Ian Rapoport via Twitter
FFToday's Take:
Fantasy owners are still waiting for Jermaine Gresham to break out. He finished 2014 on a high note by scoring five touchdowns over the season's final six weeks. Yet his back surgery will now keep him out of action for some if not all of the 2015 season.
Bernard Pierce arrested for DUI
Roster spot in jeapordy
Mike Krueger
| Mar 18 2015, 10:40 am
Ravens running back
Bernard Pierce
was arrested in Towson early Wednesday morning and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, police said. Ravens team spokesman Chad Steele told The Baltimore Sun: "We are aware of the situation and learning more about it. We take these matters seriously."
Baltimore Sun
FFToday's Take:
Pierce's fantasy value took a hit last season as he was playing behind
Justin Forsett
Fitzgerald Toussaint
most of the year. Ever since the
Ray Rice
incident, the Ravens have been strict with off-field conduct. DB Victor Hampton was arrested earlier this off-season on DWI charges and was released. Pierce could suffer the same fate.
TE Charles Clay signs offer sheet with Bills
Miami has five days to match
Mike Krueger
| Mar 17 2015, 7:37 pm
The Buffalo Bills courtship of
Charles Clay
feels like its lasted longer than a Kardashian marriage. Whether the Miami Dolphins tight end actually gets hitched to the team wooing him is now up to his current employer. The Buffalo News learned Tuesday night that Clay has signed an offer sheet from the Bills. The Dolphins now have five days under the terms of the transition tag to decide whether they want to match the offer - which The News has learned is for five years and up to $38 million, with $20 million in guarantees - or let Clay go to their AFC East rivals.
Buffalo News
FFToday's Take:
It's being reported that the Bills offer includes $24.5 million over the first two seasons which could make it difficult to match. The deal is rich enough that it's likely Miami will let Clay go and move forward with newly signed tight end
Jordan Cameron
. Clay was given the transition tag by the Dolphins but won't receive any compensation if he jets for Buffalo.
Trent Richardson finds a home in Oakland
Two-year deal
Mike Krueger
| Mar 17 2015, 1:45 pm
The Oakland Raiders will give
Trent Richardson
his third chance to make it in the NFL, as the team announced his signing Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed, but the former Alabama star running back will compete with
Latavius Murray
to be the Raiders' starting running back.
FFToday's Take:
Richardson will battle for playing time with Murray and newly signed
Roy Helu
. It would be a shock if Richardson is anything more than a backup for Murray with Helu filling the third-down pass-catching role. For what it's worth Richardson is just 24 years old but sports a 3.3 yards per carry average for his career.
Chargers pickup receiver Stevie Johnson
Three-year contract
Mike Krueger
| Mar 17 2015, 12:48 pm
Free-agent wide receiver
Steve Johnson
agreed to a three-year contract with the San Diego Chargers on Tuesday. Johnson had visited the Chargers and Patriots since his release from the 49ers last week.
FFToday's Take:
The Chargers lost
Eddie Royal
to the Bears and were rumored to be interested in
Andre Johnson
before he signed with the Colts. Stevie had three-straight 1000-yd seasons in Buffalo but posted his worst stat line in five years (35-435-3) in the 49ers run-first offense. Johnson could push WR3 value but will battle for targets with
Keenan Allen
Antonio Gates
and newcomer
Dontrelle Inman
Raiders release QB Matt Schaub
Ponder and McGloin to battle for backup spot
Mike Krueger
| Mar 16 2015, 5:00 pm
In an unsurprising move the Oakland Raiders announced they have released quarterback
Matt Schaub
. The Raiders traded a sixth-round pick for Schaub last offseason, but the 33-year-old lost the starting job to
Derek Carr
before the season even started. Schaub became even more expendable when the Raiders signed quarterback
Christian Ponder
last week. Ponder and
Matt McGloin
will now battle for the No. 2 gig behind Carr.
FFToday's Take:
Things aren't looking up in your NFL career if you're cut for Christian Ponder. Schaub was the No.20 fantasy quarterback in 2012 but hasn't been the same player since. He'll have an outside chance at a backup job with another team but his fantasy value is nill until further notice.
Cecil Shorts headed to Houston
Two-year deal
Mike Krueger
| Mar 16 2015, 3:15 pm
Free-agent wide receiver
Cecil Shorts
has agreed to a two-year deal with the Houston Texans, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan. Shorts, who visited with the Texans on Monday, will have a chance to start in Houston, who released longtime star receiver
Andre Johnson
last week.
FFToday's Take:
You can pencil in Shorts opposite
DeAndre Hopkins
in the Texans starting lineup. He's yet to back up his breakout performance in 2012 (55-979-7) and has developed the injury-prone tag thanks to nagging lower leg injuries. Shorts was bothered by a hamstring injury during camp last season and missed three games at the start of the season. With Hopkins expected to dominate targets, Shorts will be nothing more than a late-round flier in fantasy leagues this summer.
Vikings release Greg Jennings
Changes in the wide receiver corps
Mike Krueger
| Mar 14 2015, 1:45 pm
Less than 24 hours after the Vikings traded for
Mike Wallace
, the team released
Greg Jennings
. The Vikings signed Jennings to a five-year, $45 million contract two years ago. By releasing Jennings, the Vikings will free up at least $5 million in cap space. If they designate him as a post-June 1 cut, they can save $9 million in space but dead money will carry into 2016.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
FFToday's Take:
Jennings lofty salary wasn't matching his production and he became expendable once the team traded for Mike Wallace. The Vikings will head into 2015 with Wallace and
Charles Johnson
as their top two wide receivers.
Reggie Bush agrees with 49ers
Didn't receive an offer from New England
Mike Krueger
| Mar 14 2015, 1:04 pm
Reggie Bush
and 49ers reached agreement, per sources. Bush back in California.
Adam Schefter on Twitter
FFToday's Take:
Bush reportedly visited New England but never received an offer. He was hampered by an ankle injury last season and never had more than 12 carries in any game on his way to one of the worst seasons in his career (79-29-2; 40-253-0). He will likely serve as the third-down and two-minute drill back behind starter
Carlos Hyde
Mike Wallace heading to Minnesota in trade
Miami gets undisclosed draft pick
Jake Gordon
| Mar 13 2015, 8:00 pm
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Vikings on Friday announced they have traded for
Mike Wallace
, acquiring the receiver from the Dolphins for undisclosed compensation.
FFToday's Take:
The Dolphins' recent acquisition of
Kenny Stills
paved the way for the team to send Wallace to Minnesota. The speedy wideout will turn 29 in August and still has plenty of talent to help a scrambler like
Teddy Bridgewater
in his first full season as a starter. Wallace immediately becomes the most appealing fantasy receiver in Minnesota but his inconsistency caps his value to that of a WR 2/3 in most formats.

Give thanks for DC's great amenities
We spend a lot of time here thinking about ways to make Washington greater, which makes us good at finding fault. It's important every now and then to celebrate what we do have, and the hard-working public servants who make it all possible.
Everyone has their own things they love about the city and the surrounding area, things we don't appreciate enough. Here's a quick list of my personal under-appreciated amenities.
National Aquarium. DC's branch of the National Aquarium (NADC) may be the ugly stepsister to the larger and more glamorous National Aquarium in Baltimore (NIB), but it is a perfect place to bring young kids whose attention span is well suited to the limited number of exhibits and compact floor plan and for DC residents who don't want to spend the time and money on a big trip to Baltimore.
A few years ago the aquarium brought in new curators who did a great job redecorating the space, updating the exhibit labels, and giving the exhibits a coherent theme. With more visitors, this facility could generate enough revenue to move to a more attractive location.
Public libraries. I don't know what it is but I find libraries relaxing. DC has a wonderful new branch in Shaw. The Montgomery County libraries are excellent. Even the homeless people in DC's downtown ML King branch seem to be using the building as a refuge to get clean and refreshed and access books and computers.Rec centers. Sure, we don't have a backyard with a swingset and room for soccer goals but our son has half a dozen parks he can walk to or ride his bike to, where there are ballfields, basketball courts, swings, and slides. And there are plenty of opportunities to meet neighbors and make new friends.
Aquatic facilities. Turkey Thicket, Takoma, and the fancy new Wilson Aquatic Center are all places where I can go and get exhausted after just a few laps and there are appropriate places for kids to play and get comfortable in the water, maybe take swim lessons and get exercise and have fun. In the summer the options increase as the outdoor pools open their doors.
National Arboretum. Totally underappreciated and beautiful.Bike paths and trails. Northern Virginia really has enviable bike trails within easy reach of area residents. DC's system of lanes and trails is also something to be grateful for, especially the recent expansion that has opened up cycling as a commuting option for many residents.
There's lots to be grateful for. What are you thankful for this holiday?
We could have MARTA, after all. Or less.
And, right now, the spectacular, and new, redness of the tree the city planted in front of my house two years ago.
(And, I'll add that DC's got some incredible, and hugely-underappreciated architecture. Among the fall foliage, Capitol Hill is easily one of the most the most visually-appealing urban neighborhoods that I've ever seen, which is made more remarkable by the fact that normal folk can live there too.)
Also, for reasons that are hard to understand, a region that is more strongly supportive of smart growth and TOD than almost any other nationally.
The 70 and S buses, for always being there (eventually) late at night after the Metro stops running.

ssh-agent [-c? [-d? [command [[args ...?]
ssh-agent [-c? -k DESCRIPTION
ssh-agent is a program to hold private keys used for public key authentication (RSA, DSA). The idea is that ssh-agent is started in the beginning of an X-session or a login ses- sion, and all other windows or programs are started as clients to the ssh-agent program. Through use of environ- ment variables the agent can be located and automatically used for authentication when logging in to other machines using ssh(1).
. This is the default if SHELL looks like it's a csh style of shell.
Generate Bourne shell commands on stdout. This is the default if SHELL does not look like it's a csh style of shell.
Kill the current agent (given by the SSH_AGENT_PID environment variable).
Debug mode. When this option is specified ssh-agent will not fork.
If a commandline is given, this is executed as a subprocess of the agent. When the command dies, so does the agent.
The agent initially does not have any private keys. Keys are added using ssh-add(1). When executed without argu- ments, ssh-add(1) adds the $HOME/.ssh/identity file. If the identity has a passphrase, ssh-add(1) asks for the passphrase (using a small X11 application if running under X11, or from the terminal if running without X). It then sends the identity to the agent. Several identities can be stored in the agent; the agent can automatically use any of these identities. ssh-add -l displays the identities cur- rently held by the agent.
The idea is that the agent is run in the user's local PC, laptop, or terminal. Authentication data need not be stored on any other machine, and authentication passphrases never go over the network. However, the connection to the agent is forwarded over SSH remote logins, and the user can thus use the privileges given by the identities anywhere in the network in a secure way.
There are two main ways to get an agent setup: Either the agent starts a new subcommand into which some environment variables are exported, or the agent prints the needed shell commands (either sh(1) or csh(1) syntax can be generated) which can be evalled in the calling shell. Later ssh(1) looks at these variables and uses them to establish a con- nection to the agent.
A unix-domain socket is created (/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXX/agent.), and the name of this socket is stored in the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable. The socket is made accessible only to the current user. This method is easily abused by root or another instance of the same user.
The SSH_AGENT_PID environment variable holds the agent's PID.
The agent exits automatically when the command given on the command line terminates.
Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of the user. This file should not be read- able by anyone but the user. It is possible to spec- ify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be used to encrypt the private part of this file. This file is not used by ssh-agent but is normally added to the agent using ssh-add(1) at login time.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of the user.
/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXX/agent. Unix-domain sockets used to contain the connection to the authentication agent. These sockets should only be readable by the owner. The sockets should get automatically removed when the agent exits.
OpenSSH is a derivative of the original and free ssh 1.2.12 release by Tatu Ylonen. Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt and Dug Song removed many bugs, re-added newer features and created OpenSSH. Markus Friedl contributed the support for SSH protocol ver- sions 1.5 and 2.0. SEE ALSO
