Whit is a great coach.
Really funny a few weeks ago Reid said Whit was a

For all the smack talk about Whittingham, Steve Sarkisian, Mike Leach, and Andy Reid being BYU grads, isn't it telling that not a single one of them would be at all interested in going there if/when the position opens up? A Wac/indy byu that isn't wanted by any conference isn't exactly a coveted position.

@Where is Hadley
A few weeks ago in an interview Andy Reid said BYU would
be the one college job he would look at.
Sark is not LDS so therefore not
Whit agreed to go to BYU before changing his mind. (good choice
for him, but was interested in going)
Mike Leach I don't know if
anyone has asked if he would go to BYU.
Please don't assume.

Even more telling is that there are no 'born in the wool' former Ute players to be coaching at any level of significance.

quote from reid about BYU
"Listen, if there was ever a college job,
that would be it," Reid said of BYU. "Coach Edwards was there for 30
plus years and Bronco is on his way to doing that. BYU's got a great head
coach; he's done a marvelous job … there's no need for another
head coach. Just let him do his thing, let him keep going; he's doing a
great job with it."

Reids quote about whittingham.
Speaking of Utah, Reid said he is close with
Utes Head Coach Kyle Whittingham, his former teammate at BYU. "Deep down he
really bleeds blue," Reid proudly said. "He just can't say that
right now, but he does."

You gotta love Coach Whit. I've never understood how any real BYU fan could
not like him. It can only be younger types or cavemen who have not sense of Kyle
and his entire family's devotion to BYU and all that they did for the
I have no connection to the U and therefore, no special
interest in the Utes. That said, with Coach Whit and the number of RM's on
the team, I will always be interested in their success. Real fans don't
begrudge another's success. Smite'm brethren...

That's pretty funny. Huge fan of Coach Whitt and Andy Reid. Think they
are both great and obviously are really great friends. @Nate in the 808,
I'm not sure what you mean by born in the wool but Mike McCoy is coaching
at a pretty significant level, Gary Andersen as well. They were both transfers
to the Utah program. Maybe that's what you meant. Doesn't really
matter was just hoping for some clarification.
Go Utes!!!

Slow down Nate. Mike McCoy who was the starting QB
on the 1994 team that went 10-2 and finished #8 in the final rankings is now the
HEAD COACH of the San Diego Chargers.
1994 was the best year ever
for the old WAC. Utah finished #8, and BYU and Colorado State were both in the
top 15. Utah beat both BYU and Colorado State that year, plus Arizona (the
preseason #1) in the Freedom Bowl and Oregon on the road.

That's funny, Y little brother, glom on to BYU's legacy. Would that be the legacy of losing regularly to Utah (22 game lead for Utes) or BYU getting left behind in the mid majors? Ohio State, Notre Dame, USC, Alabama, Michigan, those are teams with real legacies; BYU is not even close to any of them in any meaningful way. Keep pretending you're one of the big boys; the rest of the country knows the truth.

I'm a BYU fan, but I admire coachKW and what he's done at the UofU. I hardly post due to the attitude and behavior of some of these ridiculous fans from both sides (Y and U). But that's sports for ya, I suppose. Good luck to both teams for the remainder of the season.

Kind of a weird quote from Whitingham when he wasn't even asked about
Reid's connection to the program. The question had to do with Alex Smith a
former player of his. And why would Andy Reid have any connection or
affiliation toward Utah...just because his current QB played there? Did that
mean that Reid was a VaTech fan when he was in Philly? Or, I guess in
Whit's world, since Reid was a teammate of Whit, he most worship him as he
demands all of those around him to do.
I guess Whit just can't
leave it alone can he?

5 Shot, 1 Dead at Williston Festival
Williston, FL -- Five people were shot and one person has died following a shooting in East Williston at the annual Crab Festival.
The shooting occured shortly after 8 pm Saturday evening amongst more than ten thousand festival goers, according to Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum.
Multiple law enforcement agencies are assisting the Levy County Sheriff's Office and the Williston Police Department as they continue to search an active crime scene.
No arrests have yet been made.
McCallum says bullet casings have been recovered at the scene.
Officials believe the shooting may have been gang related, possibly a retaliation shooting over drugs.
About 70 law enforcement personel were already on scene and a triage unit was set up as a precaution for the festival, and McCallum says officers were less than 25 yards away when the shooting occurred.
Victims were taken out of the area in sheriff's vehicles, one person was airlifted to Shands Hospital and others were taken to hospitals in Gainesville and Ocala.
Officers are now interviewing victims and witnesses in the hopes of locating a suspect.

Your risk for getting hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is higher if you take Victoza® with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as a sulfonylurea. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine may need to be lowered while taking Victoza®.
The most common side effects with Victoza® include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and resistance to liraglutide (antibody formation). Nausea is most common when first starting Victoza®, but decreases over time in most people. Immune system related reactions, including hives, were more common in people treated with Victoza® compared to people treated with other diabetes drugs in medical studies.
For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Arland Thornton is Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan, where he is also a Research Professor at the Population Studies Center and Survey Research Center. He is a social demographer who has served as president of the Population Association of America and currently holds a MERIT award from the National Institutes of Health. For much of his career, Thornton has focused on the study of family and demographic issues, with a particular emphasis on marriage, cohabitation, divorce, childbearing, intergenerational relations, and gender roles. He has received four awards for his books as well as a distinguished career award from the American Sociological Association. During the past decade Thornton has devoted considerable time and energy studying developmental idealism and its influence in many areas of the world. His 2001 presidential address to the Population Association of America focused on this topic, as does his award-winning book entitled Reading History Sideways: the Fallacy and Enduring Impact of the Developmental Paradigm on Family Life. Of particular importance for Thornton's current work are the ways in which values, beliefs, and people have been and are being distributed around the world. His work (in collaboration with others) has involved conceptualization, measurement, and analysis of data from several countries, including Albania, Argentina, Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Malawi, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, the U.S., and Vietnam.

Category: Free Speech
On October 2, 2001 in order to provide a forum for discussion on the terrorist attacks, professors at the City University of New York (CUNY) held a faculty "teach-in," in which several professors criticized America and its foreign policy. On October 23, the trustees of CUNY voted to condemn the "teach-in" as seditious. CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein issued a public statement condemning the professors who expressed such views. Having approved the hiring and promotion of the very faculty who spoke, the trustees and administration now would prefer that they not express their actual and well-known views.

Hot air and hurricanes
It seems like this time of the year, we are being warned daily about steps to take should a hurricane threaten the area. While traditionally, hurricanes of note (BIG ones) that have hit the area wait until about September. But, changes in the patterns and predictability of these storms has made them anything but predictable. Since so many Fort Bend County residents are from places where hurricanes and tropical storms are not a threat, forgive the media and local government officials for hammering in the need to "be prepared" should these storms threaten the area.
Officials tell us to purchase non-perishable food ahead of time. Be sure and also purchase a non-electric can opener too (yep, they still make them) because these storms play havoc with electrical service.
Officials tell us to get a substantial amount of bottled water. Be sure and remember that if a hurricane is predicted for the area, to run a full bathtub of tap water and put it in other receptacles as well. It is amazing how fast bottled water disappears from store shelves when a hurricane is predicted. It is also amazing how fast that bottled water can disappear if you don't plan to have extra water stored for toilet flushing!
There are just a lot of "common sense" tips on planning that anyone who is not familiar with Gulf Coast storms should study now. For those of us who have weathered several of these tropical events the plans may be second nature.
The hot air
It seems like only yesterday, we were all breathing a sigh of relief because local elections and the hot air that goes with incumbent and hopeful politicians had turned into a mild coastal breeze. Well, not for long. Now all those who plan to challenge anyone—be it city, county, state or even on the federal level—are blustering and blowing again in preparation for the 2008 election.
So, when you are making hurricane plans, it might be fun to make a "hot air" plan as well. Some suggestions that come to mind: Have an emergency plan to deal with large hot air masses—read, study and evaluate before taking the wind at face value. Have an emergency escape plan—once you've determined who the best candidate is (see above criteria for doing so)—plan to go to the movies, filter all calls with an answering machine and do not answer the door if you see anything that looks red, white and blue with an elephant or donkey in your neighborhood.
Have emergency supplies stocked—lots of pizza, soft drinks and crunchy sweet snacks take the edge off of the political ads that will inundate you in the weeks preceding the election. If you already know who your candidate of choice is—run—don't walk—to the kitchen for sustenance when the ads appear on the screen. It might behoove you to keep some sort of antacid on hand should you not reach the emergency stash in time.

Texas touring
Trip Start
May 05, 2010
Trip End
Jul 20, 2011
Weather: Warm to Hot, 32C Night – 38C Day
I don't know what I expected of Texas. Oil wells! Well there's plenty of those. In the West of Texas all you can smell is oil. It's in the air, just like when you spill some oil when doing an oil change.
Like they say Texas is big. One thing you don't so often hear is that it's tropical. Today we woke to 32C and 85% humidity. And from there it just got hotter. It's as humid as anything I experienced teaching in the Gulf at Doomadgee in Queensland over the wet season. Sitting here typing this at 9pm the perspiration is dripping of me. Gael is in the State Park shower block where we are staying. The showers are air conditioned here. I think she will spend the night in there.
We entered Louisiana tonight and struggled to find a camp site for the first time. All down the West side of the US there was a Visitors Centre on every corner. Since entering Texas there have seen bugger all! So finding out info on National and State Parks, etc, is a real problem for planning the day's drive. Haven't seen another tourist for days. We are even a bigger novelty value out this way.
There doesn't appear to be the natural attractions through this part of the country. I guess we got spoilt in the West. It must be said however that the country is still beautiful, but farmland/rangeland in the main. Will probably reach Mississippi tomorrow (17th I think). The Appalachian Mountains start in northern Alabama. From then on we will be in 'Deliverance' country. Some of you may remember the fat guy on all fours and squealing. I'm starting to sweat more just thinking about it!!!!
We have decided not to go further south this time of the year. We are hoping that the weather may be less humid as we move further north away from the Gulf of Mexico and reach Alabama.

Japan's Top Office: Whose Turn Is It?Posted on Aug 28, 2011
Japan has already burned through five prime ministers in five years, with a sixth, Yoshihiko Noda, expected to take over from Naoto Kan on Tuesday. Kan was forced to resign Friday because of dissatisfaction with his response to the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country. Noda will lead the ruling Democratic Party of Japan and currently serves as finance minister. The DPJ is considered a center-left party. Noda has been called a fiscal conservative and has also suggested raising taxes. On his to-do list: rebuild the country, sort out the mess at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, do something about Japan's long economic winter, and convince everyone he'll be around for more than a year. And we think America has governance issues ... . —PZS Advertisement Square, Site wide Previous item: Al-Qaida's No. 2 Leader Is Dead Next item: Murdoch Loses $27 Million Contract With N.Y.

Coherent mid-infrared broadband continuum generation in non-uniform ZBLAN fiber taper
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 7, pp. 5852-5860 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (744 KB)
A simple method is described for efficient, asymmetric and coherent continuum generation in the mid-infrared region based on the dynamics of a stabilized soliton in the vicinity of a second dispersion zero of a nonlinear fiber. The mechanism involves nonlinear soliton compression, Raman self-frequency shift and resonant emission of a dispersive (Cherenkov) wave in a non-uniformly tapered ZBLAN fluoride fiber pumped by a low-power compact femtosecond laser at 1.55 μm. The fiber taper features a continuous shift of the second zero dispersion wavelength, which facilitates the progressive shift in the wavelength of the dispersive wave generated by the stabilized soliton. Numerical solution of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which accounts for the exact wavelength dependence of dispersion and nonlinear coefficients, shows robust generation of near-octave continuum spanning 1.5–3 μm wavelength range.

A Light Touch (part II), from Ken Sadofsky
June 12, 2009 | 1 Comment
Most sports games are fought to win early and decisively, given a choice. This painfully obvious comment alludes to the fact that the middle game and end game can thereby be played with less risk for the winning side. However, this must be measured against the opening winners desire to play all out throughout, just with less overextension, not merely maintaining the advantage. Don't let up on your capacity or talent. Some games and teams will require a full force stance, depending on the point lead and in order to play well. What I suggest is not to rest on a gain. I only suggest to reconfigure the risk/reward ratio. Otherwise, playing a completely defensive strategy will destroy the advantage. Further, risk/reward can allow a highly aggressive stance and be defensive by inducing your opponent to expend more than usual amounts of energy and exasperation trying to defend offputting attacks. Inducing is aggressive. These attacks will accompany random, not constant defensive moves on the aggressor's part, allowing just enough of a hedge and freeing up energy from an overly or hardened defensive posture to a game of overall nimbleness, less probabilistic and freeing up energy to explode at will. Thus, the risk/reward ratio is not all about chasing points, but allows for a game whereby opposing points can be thwarted. This alleviates the need and obvious static (stasis?) energy of a defense only strategy, thereby giving the opponent one's game plan.
Entice your opponent to play your game: To play drunken martial arts, which requires enticing your opponent to engage on your terms, running out the clock, angering your opponent, retreating or advancing to entice your opponent to your strengths, or limiting your opponent's moves, , while maintaining full force and adaptability in maintaining a defensive posture also come to mind. (Ali trained to take many a pounding to train for an otherwise superior Foreman in '74 or whatever). One's tactics are freed from having to score. Let the opponent, out of sorts and off their game score for you, in which you make easier points, thus conserving one's energy. The corollary, making one's opponent pay big to even get a point or taking a hit is very offensive. But these are only for the very proficient. These tactics under an overall strategy require or expect the deemed defense having to move, not always true in stocks. (Though Buffet said one can swing when one wants; 4 balls will not get you to first in the stockmarket). An exceptional opponent will not take the bait, but circumstances can force their hand. These thoughts touch on defense as offense. We all know the opposite axiom. As one aside, I'd like to see the drunken martial opponent, and this takes on many variations, in boxing, fencing, racing and war, in which the opponent is enticed to overexthend themselves to the winner's advantage, not move in such a fashion into the opponent's traps. Others may have specific games in mind. I am having the problem of analogizing a specific game; a discrete event compared to the market moves over a term. However, the market moves comprise many a game.
Some of what I consider the more continuous sports are soccer, lacrosse, basketball, hockey, fencing, boxing and tennis, in which one can morph from an aggressive stance, to a defensive one on the fly. Of course, this applies to all sports on a limited degree, like baseball and football where a meeting is called prior to a play. I like the former because the action is more often in play than other games, and therefore the strategy and tactics can be applied with more facilty in real time, of course given prior strategizing. Maybe it's like a free form jazz requiring excellent individual talent that understands the other players, compared to an orchestra with a conductor playing 30 second songs cumulatively. Both comprise professionals. We know the market does both as well.
This writing has suggested employing defensive offense, for example keeping the accent on making high percentage shots that tire your opponent mentally and physically. Do not take undue risks in shooting (offense)and upgrade one's focus on preventing the rival from scoring (defense), rather than setting up your next shot. An advantage within or from a game is anticipating further moves or a later game. This allows for other strategies/tactics to surprise, accumulate to disorient, and induce the opponent to weaken lines in order to defend against all possible attacks. Continuing the earlier discrete game, the early winner can devote more resources to defending the perceived advantage with the above considerations in mind. In fact, the simplistic notion of games is not to take undue risks (this assumes a lifetime of understanding) once victory is achieved, while of course playing all out under revised risk/reward calculations. To confuse things, a good winner will continue to play all out, as that is their best game for cadence and alertness. As a warning, many have lost sitting on a win, confusing defense with merely running out the clock. Resting can beckon atrophy, thereby inviting ineptness.
Another is offensive defense. A penny saved is a penny earned. I would submit that a penny saved costs less than a penny earned oftentimes. Drive to the utmost, but how many feet or seconds does another pit stop cost? Can it be skipped with good preparation and execution being the same car, or is it better to plan for a stop in order to have your best car on the track? A lot of movement in life, like mechanics, etc., has exponential costs, like a rocket liftoff compared to cruising, and the same for other bursts requiring torque, like moving onto the beltway. Make your opponent use torque that require more energy and force pit stops that cost time.
Unlike the stock market, in discrete games, a 2 point win is equivalent to a 50 point win. Can we say that if the 2 point wins accumulate, they will become 50 points and be, just a little little bit easier, to come by?
Defensive offense and offensive defense: do they exits, does it matter, is it semantics? It was just a way to make a point and hint that things occur simultaneously.
In sum, winning big early, frees up an added dimension of facileness, controlling time and moves of your opponent, while increasing one's own efforts to thrive and grow toward an increasing advantage. Maybe all games should be played this way throughout, but an early advantage seems to change the risk/reward analysis. The predators are able to employ this. A good follow up would be to depict what the purported prey would do to become the eventual winner. —Maybe the same? but they seem to have less reward in creating a win from behind by just maintaining the stasis. Advisors often suggest that increased risk is not the answer, until Hail Mary time - at least in a discrete game.
Allan Millhone looks at it from the Checkers perspective:
I am packing and getting ready to head to Grove City, Pa. for a yearly tournament there. There will be plenty of stiff competition with our Three-Move Restriction World's Champion and other top Masters. In tournaments my eyes scan the board akin to surfing and try to find a safe line of play. Like a good wave to ride safely to the King row (water's edge at the beach) . The surface of the Checker board at times can be very smooth as you coast towards an easy draw . Other times the ride is bumpy and can be quite turbulent as your opponent( like the waves) can force you off into uncharted waters. The Market trader needs to be wary and look ahead at all times for ever changing Market conditions much like the waves for the Surfer endlessly shift back and forth. The Checker board starts out even for both sides with twelve pieces each, but soon after the calm subsides and the waters of the board begin to swell . The Surfer tries to Master the wave as the Market trader tries to tame the Market Mistress and gain the upper hand.
Tommy Wiswell said: "Look twice before you move."
Steve Ellison writes:
In many competitive endeavors, simply making fewer mistakes wins many games. Mistakes I have made in the markets include:
- Failing to be aware of changes in trading hours
- Using a limit order to try to save a few dollars when I really did want to enter the trade regardless
- Failing to be fully prepared (with orders placed in advance when feasible) for any events that might set up a favorable trading opportunity
- Entering a trade without knowing exactly what I would do if price moved up, down, or sideways
- Deviating from my trading plan
- Using too much leverage
Roy Longstreet wrote in 1967 in Viewpoints of a Commodity Trader:
Did you watch the Packers whip Kansas City in the Super Bowl? I did and was much impressed by the professional way in which they performed. They did not beat themselves by making mistakes.
A professional makes fewer mistakes than others. That is why he is a professional. He may not have more ability than another but he is superior because he has trained himself not to make mistakes.
I was particularly impressed in watching the Packers throughout the season as they seldom were penalized for infraction of the rules.
On Mr. Longstreet's last point, the Detroit Red Wings have similarly avoided penalties in the Stanley Cup finals. Conversely, the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have probably by now surpassed the aging Red Wings in talent, took a string of penalties in the fifth game after the Red Wings took an early lead. As a result, the Red Wings scored three power play goals and put the game out of reach.
Allen Gillespie adds:
Hawks v Supersonics game I went to years ago - 67-66 after three with only Peyton hustling - Steve Smith scores 33 in the 4th running around like a maniac. Also, in soccer, most goals are scored very early or very late in a half.

Nigel Davies comments:
Here's another view from a mistake specialist (both my own and other peoples'):
The mistakes we make tend to crystallise around different deeply rooted thinking patterns and attitudes but then change their form when people notice them and try to something about them.
An example might be that of a trader 'taking profits too early', vowing to do something about this and then taking them 'too late'. He could be 'correcting his mistake' but failing to address the real issue of making arbitrary decisions rather than operating according to a tested plan.
Normally you have to go very deep to ferret out the cause of error and then, assuming someone is willing to go there, it's unlikely they'll actually be able to do something about it. But success can come when the number of good moves outweigh the bad, so for those with an innate 49-51 split have hope…
George Parkanyi says:
Making mistakes is not one you can generalize like that. Mistakes are how we learn. If you are not making mistakes you are probably aren't stretching yourself enough. Mistakes also come in all shapes and sizes — some are disastrous, some are benign.
Recovering from, or leveraging mistakes — now there's something.
Ideas for Sampling Without Replacement, from Ken Sadofsky
January 10, 2009 | 3 Comments
I would like to toss an idea regarding the post Sampling Without Replacement, from Victor Niederhoffer.
I'm thinking of signals and receptors. There seem to be no receptors for these alleged signals. One thought, assuming an agent, is signals are being polluted by governments or just an abnormal amount of uncertainty. Have the opposing Quants finally gained enough complexity and control to nullify what once were signals, leaving nothing in their place? Then this is a rational enterprise on their part, generating randomness (as Sam Marx posited). Assuming this purpose driven agentic randomness would presume something of a very large player, concerted or homogeneous group. Purposeful randomness should fail, unless the catcher knows where that "random number" is being thrown. But now I think otherwise in that a random system could help the vig. Also possible is non purposeful randomness arising from a high level of uncertainty.
The world markets recently seemed to be largely acting in one direction across asset classes, thereby ruining ideas of diversification. This was the means of those without means to hedge. This would mean that countervailing elements (values) gold, oil, stocks, dollars etc. do not support the traditional means of valuation in a growing world economy, as I derive from your posts. In other words, I've understood you to mean that value is derived from the value of other things (circular, yet valid). Opposing forces have been reduced for now. However, you say that bonds have offset some of the stock losses.
I would simply suggest that the lack of good valuations in bonds has created a temporary random environment. A virus? Arguing against myself, isn't this always the case for oil?
But to test:
1) macro test — deductive: When in the past were there no discernible predictive sequences? I'm respectfully submitting that there may have been periods when history stands alone and unrelated to history. How long did this last, what were the world markets like, was there a large market of something without a good valuation, or very fragile, possibly random, and when and how did sequences reemerge?
2) micro tests — inductive: Another idea is to search for intervening events that altered usual sequences, as in the weather.
