Remember Me
Bass wizard Arne Livingston, most known for his work with Living Daylights and the Steve Kimock Band, will join world-rock machine new monsoon during their New Year's Eve run at Denver's Cervante's Masterpiece on 12/30 and 12/31. Livingston has been wowing crowds all around the world for many years, going back to his days in the influential band Tough Mama. Livingston's bass mastery is sure to launch new monsoon into another orbit, as they too have been leaving a trail of very satisfied concertgoers in their wake all year.
The New Year's Eve show will certainly go later than any other show in Denver that evening, and discounts will be available to those who arrive at Cervante's from other concerts in town. The ticket price might be Denver's "best deal" for NYE, as new monsoon will be playing longer, and the price will be lower, than just about all shows in Denver on the 31st. Boulder's Shanti Groove will open both shows.
New Monsoon hails from San Francisco with roots that trace to the East Coast. Appearing on the main stage of the High Sierra Music Festival for the last three years, the band played their first show outside of California in January of 2003. 172 shows later into this year, the band is as tight and as amazing as ever. With plans to play just as much in 2004, New Monsoon is a band that will be coming to your town soon, no matter where you live.
New Monsoon embarks on another nationwide tour immediately following their New Year's Eve show, with shows in Winter Park at The Hideaway on 1/2/04 with sax wizard and Panic buddy P-Nut Daniels sitting in, Steamboat Springs on 1/3/04, and on to Birmingham, Alabama, and then Florida for a slot on JamCruise 2. Following the cruise, the band returns to the Southeast with shows in Miami, Atlanta, and several other great Southern towns. The tour concludes in Chicago on January 31.
Look for more special guests on bass for new monsoon's January tour. And make sure to make your travel plans now to join the band for their special hometown show on February 20 in San Francisco at 12 Galaxies, which is also the grand opening of this venue.

I did not get the boardy feel from it. I actually felt like it made the string bed a lot more forgiving/powerful towards the periphery. I have been using a low powered mid sized 18X20 racket. I hit hard, flat groundies and play aggressive serve-volley tennis.
Maybe the higher tension is why I am getting a different feel from it. This is an interesting string; It falls into a new category of strings.
Thanks for your detailed impressions. It kind of sounds like it does show the power that the lab numbers would suggest that it has, but that the pocketing and maybe the launch angle differs from gut enough that a significant adjustment period is required to get a handle on the string. It sure does sound like a new and interesting string. Can't want to try it.

Navy, FBI are trying to free hostage
Negotiating team is in talks with pirates
Somali pirates, who attacked a U.S.-flagged ship Wednesday, were holding an American captain hostage yesterday in a lifeboat drifting in the Indian Ocean.
The FBI joined the U.S. Navy yesterday in negotiations with the pirates.
The U.S. destroyer Bainbridge was nearby, and additional naval warships were speeding to the scene.
High-tech surveillance aircraft circled above the crisis waters.
NAIROBI, Kenya – Somali pirates and their hostage American sea captain were adrift in a lifeboat yesterday off the Horn of Africa, shadowed by a U.S. destroyer with more warships on the way in a U.S. show of force.
The United States brought in FBI hostage negotiators to work with the military in trying to secure the release of Capt. Richard Phillips of Underhill, Vt. An official said the bandits were in talks with the Navy about resolving the standoff peacefully.
As the high-seas drama stretched into a second day, the freighter that was the pirates' target steamed away from the lifeboat with armed U.S. Navy personnel aboard, said a U.S. official who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation. All of its crew was safe – except for the captive captain.
The Indian Ocean standoff between the $800 million U.S. Navy destroyer Bainbridge and four pirates bobbing in a lifeboat low on fuel showed the limits facing the world's most powerful military in dealing with a booming pirate economy in a treacherous patch of international waters.
Driven solely by economic gain, not politics or religion, the brand of pirates are an unconventional foe for the U.S. military. In recent years, they have shrewdly extorted millions of dollars from international shipping companies. To help negotiate the captain's release, the Navy turned for advice yesterday to an FBI hostage rescue team, practiced in a patient approach.
The negotiations were being carried out between the pirates and the Americans through a translator aboard the Bainbridge, with the FBI negotiators consulting from ashore, the official said.
While surveillance aircraft kept watch on the pirates and their captive, the Navy task force that had steamed more than 300 miles to go to the captain's aid showed no sign of confronting the pirates.
A senior U.S. military official said the lifeboat carried 10 days of food and water.
There is no evidence, experts say, of any links between the pirates and Islamic militants in Somalia. Officials said the United States would have difficulty striking directly at pirate sanctuaries along the Somali coast, even though the U.S. military has fired missiles within Somalia several times in recent years at people suspected of links to al-Qaeda.
"These people are nothing more than criminals, and we are bringing to bear a number of our assets, including naval and FBI, in order to resolve the hostage situation and bring the pirates to justice," said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
President Barack Obama was getting regular updates on the situation, said spokesman Robert Gibbs. Attorney General Eric Holder said the United States will take whatever steps are needed to protect U.S. shipping interests against pirates.

GAME: Ball St. @ Rutgers Jan 5, 2008 12:00PMSPORT: College Football PicksPICK: Ball St.Offered at: 11 REASON FOR PICK: 4* BALL STATE over RUTGERS
The past couple of years we have used Notre Dame as Exhibit A as to how media perceptions can create false impressions about college football programs, to the point at which the betting markets also end up reacting improperly. Now we get a chance to go to work with Exhibit B, with Greg Schiano and Rutgers getting a lot of play in the major Northeast media centers in recent years that has created an entirely different impression than what is really happening. Part of that market influence can be seen in an opener of -9.5 that is now reaching -11 in some key precincts, and this favorite simply does not deserve that kind of respect.
It is more than just the betting markets, however. In recent weeks Schiano actually was contacted for the Michigan head coaching job, which shows how others have fallen into the trap. Yes, Rutgers is a better team now than when he took over. But the bottom line is still just a 37-46 record in his eight seasons, with the lone bowl win coming over a mediocre Kansas State team LY. That does not earn you a round-trip ticket to Ann Arbor or lunch at Zingermans. And instead of building off of LY's bowl win to begin reaching a higher level, the Scarlet Knights actually regressed this season. An awful non-conference schedule gave them walk-overs vs. Norfolk State, Army and Buffalo, which means that they were under .500 in all other games. How about road games vs. bowl opponents, one of our usual starting points in bowl breakdowns? There was just one, an ugly 38-19 loss at Connecticut in which they allowed the Huskies to run for 256 yards, their second high for the season, at 6.6 per carry, their high. And we all saw where Connecticut is at this time with our 4* ticket on Wake Forest last Saturday. At home the Scarlet Knights lost to the likes of Maryland and Cincinnati and nearly fell to Pittsburgh as well, while in the biggest challenge of the season they were destroyed 31-3 vs. West Virginia. They only time they boarded a plane in 2007 (they did not even play a road game until October 13th), they lost outright at disappointing Louisville. You can not go 7-5 vs. that class of schedule and be laying double figures in a bowl game, but that is where the perceptions are.
While Rutgers has had a great deal of media attention, Ball State is about as far off of the radar as a program can get. But NFL scouts are already watching sophomore QB Nate Davis, who threw for 3,376 yards with a special ratio of 27 touchdowns passes vs. only six interceptions this year, and his preferred targets will also end up playing on Sunday's – WR Dante Love caught 87 passes for 1,229 yards and nine TD's, and TE Darius Hill caught 56 for 837, and also nine scores. They all return next season, so it is just the beginning for a program that has increased its win total for three straight seasons, and is showing real signs of progress.
Can Ball State play at this level? There is no question about that. The Cardinals have gone 5-1 ATS the past two seasons as road underdogs against teams from outside of the MAC, including 4-1 vs. bowl-bound opponents and there were some sparkling performances along the way – a near-upset of Michigan LY, an outright win at Navy this season, and a near-miss at Nebraska this past September back when the Cornhuskers were still trying. And they also bring one of the prime ingredients that has helped underdog in this price range to play with far more passion at bowl time – this game represents a real reward for them, while for Rutgers it is actually a step below where the Knights had hoped to be. A hungry underdog is in this one all the way, and even should Ball State fall behind the passing game creates outstanding back-door potential.

Steven Budin
A note from Steve Budin:
Guys, since we're up 880 dimes with these releases I want you to spend a little extra coin and buy down the 1/2 point. This line is floating between 2 1/2 and 3 depending on where you shop. So if you've got Jacksonville at -3 I want you to buy the Jaguars down to -2 1/2 so you still win if they prevail by a field goal. And if you get stuck with Jacksonville at -3 1/2, buy down to -3 so you get a push with a field goal. Naturally, do not buy down from 2 1/2; there is no need to.
Take it from a former bookmaker and the guy who fathered the offshore sportsbook industry that too many gamblers and handicappers needlessly buy half points on all types of numbers. But the ONLY number that matters from a bookmakers' perspective is 3 because of overtime and that's why its the only number they (bookmakers) charge the extra juice for. Once again, we're using the power of money - our profit of 880 dimes in the NFL - against the bookmaker in this case.
Why not buy a little extra insurance at a few cents on the dollar to protect your investment? As CEO of a multi-million dollar company I can tell you it's the right move, just like I knew it was the right move when as a bookmaker I saw smart players doing the same thing when the opportunity presented itself.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Pittsburgh Steelers
By far the most lopsided bet game of the weekend is Jacksonville vs Pittsburgh. The Public is betting Jacksonville like they know the score! At the time of writing, almost 3 out of 4 bets placed are coming in on Jacksonville, even though they are on road. Public money has pushed Jax from a 1 pt Underdog to a 2.5pt Favorite. That's 3.5pt swing! You very rarely see a home team Underdog in the playoffs. There is a tremendous "buy back" opportunity taking Pittsburg +2.5 at home.
Pittsburgh Steelers +3

*CHICAGO over Sacramento (NBA)...Willing to take a lead with Chicago bunch that showed signs of turning season around after Scott Skiles was dismissed on Christmas Eve. Promoted assistant Jim Boylan immediately changed recipe, with G Ben Gordon now reprising his role as NBA Sixth Man of the Year from his rookie season of 2004-05. And in first two games after change, Gordon went for 31 & 25,respectively, in Bulls' wins over Bucks & Knicks. Meanwhile, Sacto reeling ever since blowing late lead in deflating home loss vs. DenverDec. 23, and Kings really beginning to miss presence of injured Gs Martin & Bibby.
*CHICAGO 99 - Sacramento 85 RATING - 10
*CHARLOTTE over Maryland (Bobcats Arena in Charlotte; Day Game)...With Charlotte enjoying partisan support in nearby Bobcats Arena,favor 49ers, who now own depth at PG with recently-eligible 6-0 soph Gerrity (Pepperdine transfer) sharing time with speedy 5-9 soph Harris (nearly 4 apg). Maryland has already lost as many home games (2) as it did all of LY, and Terps own just one legit 3-pointer shooter in soph G Hayes. Charlotte's star G Goldwire (20 ppg, 5 rpg) is most lethal weapon on court, and overvalued Maryland just 2-8 vs. number
TY. *CHARLOTTE 79 - Maryland 70 RATING - 10
*UTAH over Air Force (Day Game)...With Utah's confidence level rising following upset at Cal in late December, ready to buck identityseeking AF having trouble replacing its top 4 scorers, while adjusting to its 4th different coach in last 5 seasons. In contrast, good-shooting Utes (51% FGs, 40% treys, 74% FTs) loving new HC Jim Boylen's mixture of fast tempo & set plays, and undersized Falcons can't cope with Utah's mobile 6-11 C Nevill (14 ppg, 7 rpg). Utes settle a score following piercing 26-pt. setback in Colorado Springs LY.
*UTAH 78 - Air Force 58 RATING -10
NORTHERN IOWA over *Indiana State...Since Northern Iowa performing with confidence on road (4-1 away, including upset & Bradley),must buck ISU, which has a new HC Kevin McKenna (former Creighton assistant), but is beset with same old offensive issues (just 64 ppg,42% FGs, 30% treys). And doubt Sycamores find solutions vs. sticky NI defense (56 ppg, 36% FGs, 29% from arc) that's allowed 68 points or fewer in every game this year. Watch Panthers productive high-low post tandem of 6-8 sr. F Coleman (12 ppg, 9 rpg) & emerging 7-1 soph Eglseder (12 ppg, 7 rpg; only 3.6 ppg LY) do damaging paint work vs. G-heavy host.
NORTHERN IOWA 73 - *Indiana State 63 RATING - 11

NFL Wild Card Super System
Back in 1990, the NFL decided to change its playoff format by adding two teams to the mix (one per conference). That move changed the Wild Card round to what it is today and brought us - the wagering public - even more opportunity to prosper. Thanks to my powerful NFL database I've recorded all of the results in the new Wildcard round since '90 and come up with some incredible results. Take a look at what I've found.
Since the 1990-91 season, NFL home teams in the Wildcard round are a respectable 47-21 SU and 36-29-3 ATS for 55.3 percent. There's enough reason right there to take Seattle, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and San Diego and call it a day. However, within this record, there are certain parameters that can be added that make this technical situation even stronger.
For example, if our host owns a won/loss percentage of .625 or better and finds itself matched up against a foe that carries a won/loss percentage less than .750, this Wildcard system improves to 32-24-2 ATS for 57.1 percent. What I've simply done is taken any host with a 10-6 SU record or better and matched them up against a foe with a 11-5 SU mark or worse. Three home teams remain after this first parameter: Seattle, Pittsburgh and San Diego.
If our home team was fortunate enough NOT to face a division foe last, this post season situation explodes to a sparkling 19-10-1 ATS for 65.5 percent. Division games tend to be more physical and obviously more competitive. By eliminating this parameter, I've removed a 13-14-1 ATS mark from this system. Only one playoff host remains in this set: The Seahawks.
Finally, it is important that our host enters off a straight up loss or a reasonable win. Off a blowout victory, our "play on" home team could check in at an inflated price. For example, with our 19-10-1 ATS record in hand and our host off a pointspread loss or ATS win of LESS than 10 points, this system zips to a sterling 17-6-1 ATS for 73.9 percent! Seattle applies to this tightener.
Re: Saturday Service Plays
NCAAF: Ball State Cardinals at Rutgers Scarlet Knights - Over 59.5 Unit Value: 2
Note: This line has already started to rise since release and will probably continue to do so. This is best described as an Oddsmaker Blunder and a lot of reasons to like the OVER here. If you have never seen Ball State play then you are in for a treat. They have one of the best throwing QB's in the country and he not can throw, he knows when not to. His 27 TD's and just 6 Int's are about as good as it gets and a primary reason why the Cardinals have scored 32 points per contest. That does include 40 verses Nebraska so they can play with the big boys. Rutgers is a Big Boy and they too should have a field day against the Cardinal D that is just as bad as their offense is good. While the Scarlet Knights have a better than average D, the intensity level in this game is apt not to be that great as this game will be a break from the New Year's games and the big one coming up with Ohio State/LSU. Rutgers season has not been what they expected and they are coming to town to have some fun. They will, and will probably put a big hurt on the Cardinals as well. That will leave Ball State trailing much of the game, if not all of the same, and being in catchup mode is going to give us lot's of passing, a long clock and a few turnovers along the way leading to short fields. The Pass D of Ball State is atrocious, allowing over 220 yards per game and Rutgers recievers are just simply quicker and stronger than anything Ball State can throw at them. If I had to guess I would say that holding the Knights below 40 points is not likely to happen. The Cardinals have shown the ability to strike quick and they too will showcase a good recieving corp. That should allow them to make a few plays to give us what we need. This could easily be the highest scoring game of all the Bowl games and this line is a bargain.

Wild Bill
Seattle -3 1/2 (1 unit) Seahawks +13 at home in margin, also won 20-10 last year vs Skins. Emotional high will wear off in 2nd half in this game for Skins. Seattle +12 in turnover margin and Skins -8, Collins has been tough for Skins, however his magic runs out on the road. Seattle 24 Washington 14.
Jaguars -1 (1 unit) Taylor & Jones-Drew will be factors in this game along with tall WR's for Jags vs banged up Steeler backfield. Jaguars have edge on turnovers and won 3 straight vs Pittsburgh. Jaguars 27 Steelers 20
Tampa -2 1/2 (1 unit) It's tough for me to back a Coughlin coached team and the Giants have been tough on the road, however they beat below 500 teams on the road and are coming off a hard fought 3 point defeat to the Patriots and Eli had the game of his life. Giants -8 on turnover margin will be a factor as Tampa is +12 in turnovers. Running game will be the key here and Buccaneers are tough vs the run though they gave up plenty of yards to Carolina last week. Home team gets the edge here along with Garcia who took the Giants out of the playoffs last year for the Eagles. Tampa 20 Giants 13.
San Diego -8 1/2 (1 unit) Like the Chargers here at home where they are 7-1 this year and have a 14 point ave margin edge. Also defense will give runners and Vince Young fits all day long. Rivers should hit his tall receivers and LT will break out. Bolts beat Tennessee last year 40-8 at home and won in OT in Nashville 23-17 after Tennessee had them down and out. Titans also off hard fought win vs Colts to get into the playoffs. Chargers too much here, SD 27 Tenn 17.

Ted Sevransky ( TEDDY COVERS)
Seattle Seahawks -3.5
The Redskins are a nice story, a team that has rallied around a backup quarterback following the death of one of their most talented and popular players, reeling off four straight wins and covers to earn a wild card berth. But legitimate questions persist about the Redskins ability to carry that momentum forward into the postseason. In fact, Washington faces extremely difficult matchups on both sides of the football as they travel to face the Seahawks on Saturday.
Make no mistake about it ? Seattle?s home field is one of the strongest in the NFL. The Seahawks went 7-1 SU, 6-2 ATS at home this year, the lone loss coming back in early October thanks to a handful of special teams breakdowns. And the crowd noise here is second to none, creating all kinds of problems for opposing offenses. An offense like the Redskins, with a backup QB behind center and a handful of key line injuries is a bad matchup against a Seahawks defense that sacked opposing quarterbacks 45 times this season, 4th in the NFL. We can expect pass rushing force Patrick Kerney (14 sacks this year) and blitzing machine Julian Peterson (10 sacks) to have success pressuring Todd Collins into mistakes.
On the other side of the football, the Seahawks match up very well with Washington. The Redskins lost pro bowl safety Sean Taylor last month, and former #1 pick Carlos Rogers won?t be playing in the secondary either. Mike Holmgren has been perfectly comfortable with the ?pass first? offense of Seattle, eschewing the running game repeatedly over the second half of the season. Matt Hasselbeck guided this team to the Super Bowl only two years ago, and his receiving corps is as healthy as they?ve been all season, with Bobby Engram, Nate Burleson and Deion Branch all at 100%. Look for the Redskins secondary to struggle against this elite level passing game, as Seattle cruises to victory. Take the Seahawks.

Re: Saturday Service Plays
These 2 teams have met just once before, a 31-31 tie in 1989. Rutgers is 9-2-1 SU but 5-6 ATS vs current MAC teams. RU was 2-0 as a DD AF TY while BSU was 3-1 as an AD. Ball St is 3-5-1 SU vs current BE teams but 6-1 ATS vs non-conf foes the L/2Y. BSU tallied 7 wins for the 1st time S/'96 when they played in their last bowl (18-15 loss, +6' in LV Bowl). HC Hoke is one of 18 HC to coach at his alma-mater, prior to that he was an asst at Mich. The Knights are in their 3rd straight bowl & 4th in school history. They beat Kan St 37-10 in the '06 Texas Bowl. Prior to RU, Schiano had been an asst in 7 bowls most recently at Miami, Fl. RU played 7 bowl caliber teams (2-5 ATS) being outscored by an avg of 32-25 but outgaining them by 420-398 ypg.BSU played 4 bowl caliber teams (2-2 ATS) being outscored by an avg of 39-27 and outgained by 521-414.They had 2 common opponents, Buf & Navy (both 2-0 SU & ATS). RU outscored those two on avg 39-14 and outgained them by a 520-262 ypg margin. BSU outscored them by an avg of 42-23 and outgained them by 523-402 ypg but needed OT to beat Navy. RU had 12,500 fans LY in the trip to Texas and both schools are less than 500 miles from Toronto. The Cardinals only avg'd 13,085 fans for their 5 home games.After a Cinderella 10-2 ssn LY Rutgers finished with a very disappointing 7-5 record. They defeated #2 USF, but dropped 3 of 5 incl the 41-38 UL loss where they led by 18 in the 2H. The Knights have our #38 off ranking avg 31 ppg & 437 ypg. QB Teel suffered a thumb inj vs Norfolk St that affected his throws in 8 gms until the UL game. When he's healthy this is a very balanced offense. RU is doing opposing defenses a favor if they don't give AA RB Rice the ball as he's the #3 rusher in NCAA. WR's Britt & Underwood became just the 26th duo in the NCAA to crack 1,000 yds in the same ssn. The OL avg 6'5" 308, paving the way for 190 ypg (4.6) allowing just 10 sks (2.8%) which is 2nd fewest in NCAA.They are led by 3 seniors including OT Zuttah. Rutgers defense allowed 65 ypg more than LY & went from +11 to -6 in TO margin. They have our #43 ranking all'g 22 ppg, 317 ypg with 35 sks. The smallish DL avg's 6'3" 259 all'g 156 rush yds (3.9) led by Sr DT Foster. The secondary has our #33 pass D eff all'g 161 ypg (51%) with an 11-9 ratio (#2 pass D in NCAA). RU has our #102 ST's ranking led by K/PJeremy "Judge" Ito who holds the school record for career points scored.
The Cardinals exceeded expectations, winning a share of the MAC West crown with their only MAC losses to the two Div Champs. They got some national attention when they came up just short of upsetting a ranked Nebraska team after missing a game winning FG in the final seconds (41-40, +23). This will be Ball St's first game in a dome since 1996 (Minny) but they did hold 5 practices in the RCA Dome (Colts), to get used to playing indoors. They are led by just 3 senior starters (all def) and 15 upperclassmen starters.Ball St has our #67 offense avg 32 ppg and 432 ypg. They do have our #22 passing offense led by QB Davis who had five 300+ gms including a career high 422 vs Nebraska and is also the team's #5 rusher.Their rushing game took a hit when they lost RB Lewis after just 4 starts as he had two 100+ games and still finished as the team's #2 rusher. WR Love is the team's top receiver and is #7 in the NCAA in all-purp yds avg 197 ypg. The #2 receiver is Mackey Award semi-finalist TE Hill who is tied with Love in rec TD.The OL avg 6'4" 290 and has opened holes for 4.1 ypc and all'd just 20 sacks (4.6%).The Cardinals have our #81 def all'g 26 ppg & 419 ypg. The DL avg just 6'2" 252 and is ranked #99 in NCAA all'g 197 ypgrush (4.9) with 21 sacks. They are led by DE's Booker and Crawford, who combined for 29 tfl. The top two tacklers are LB's including WLB Haines who was the #6 tackler in the MAC. Ball St has our #89 pass eff defense all'g 222 ypg (64%) with an 18-18 ratio as the secondary starters combined for 14 int led by CB Hill. Ball St has our #52 ST's ranking led by P Miller who finished #3 in the NCAA with a 45.8 avg.Ball State is thrilled to be making their first bowl appearance since 1996. They got some press early in the season after the Nebraska game but as we found out everyone scored on the Cornhuskers. They did finish getting outgained vs bowl eligible teams by 107 ypg. Rutgers finished their season losing 3 of 5 (1-4 ATS) and QB Teel was inconsistent with a thumb injury. Rutgers' goal was clearly to make a BCS bowl and for the 2nd straight season they end up in a bottom tier post season game. The talent disparity is overwhelming on the defensive side and with a healthy QB the offense is potnet behind AA RB Rice.HC Schiano got his disappointed team focused in LY's Texas Bowl (37-10 vs Kan St) and will motivate them again to finish the season off with a win.

Re: Saturday Service Plays
Rutgers vs. Ball State +10 O/U 60 Recommendation: Ball State
Rutgers had dreams of a BCS berth and potentially a shot at the National
Championship this year after an 11-win season and a bowl win
over Kansas State on '06. After all, the Knights brought back preseason
Heisman hopeful Ray Rice, who ran for nearly 1,800 yards
with 20 TDs. Quarterback Mike Teel, who had worked all offseason
to improve his mechanics and grasp of the offense, developed a solid
chemistry with a talented group of wide receivers like the explosive
Kenny Brit and Tiquan Underwood. They also boasted six returning
starters to a nasty defense that allowed just 14 points per game in
2006 while holding opponents to just 2.9 yards per carry. But after
a 3-0 start against JV-like opponents, Rutgers got a rude awakening,
losing after their bye week as a 17.5-point favorite at home to
Maryland. Though they rank 26th overall in total offense and 15th
overall in total defense, our Accu-Stats numbers paint the picture
of a decidedly average football team. They run for 4.80 yards per
carry but give up a disturbing 5.32 and rarely dominated the line
of scrimmage they seemed to own last year. This lack of a physical
prowess perhaps led them to their 1-4 SU and ATS record against
the Big East's top five teams (UConn, South Florida, West Virginia,
Louisville and Cincinnati). Head coach Greg Schiano must be commended
for taking this perennial loser to three straight bowl games,
but with the talent and expectations in Piscataway, we can't help
but feel this team is extremely disappointed to be here. Ball State,
however, is thrilled to be here in Toronto. They are making their first
appearance in the postseason in over a decade after securing their
first winning season in just as long. Quarterback Nate Davis is a
bit undersized at 6-2, 214 lbs., but he has NFL qualities. His arm
strength is phenomenal and his knack for making big plays in big
situations has caught the eyes of some scouts. The sophomore signal
caller has now thrown for 5,351 yards with 45 TDs against only
14 INTs in his career, despite becoming a full-time starter midway
through his freshman campaign. While the defense is clearly behind
the offense for the boys in Muncie, the one ringing endorsement
for the Cards has been the ability of Brady Hoke to "coach 'em up"
against superior competition. In the past two seasons, Ball State has
faced Indiana (twice), Purdue, Nebraska, and Illinois -- all much bigger,
stronger and faster schools from BCS conferences. They have
covered four of those five games, nearly pulling the outright upset
against Indiana two seasons ago and at Nebraska this year. Rutgers
will no doubt hold the physical advantages, and on paper they
will hold virtually every statistical/fundamental edge as well. But as
mentioned before, Greg Schiano deserves a lot of credit for building
this program up to its current level and he is getting it...from Michigan.
While he vehemently denies it becoming one, it can't help but
be a distraction for a team that has publicly stated it has not had
the type of season they had hoped for. We'll take the scrappy Ball
State Cardinals to cover against yet another BCS conference school

SEATTLE (-3 ½) 23 Washington 21
My math model favors Seattle by only ½ a point at home the math would favor Washington by ½ a point if Deion Branch doesn't play. With Washington's offense better with Collins at quarterback and their defense not as good with a thin defensive backfield there is now some value in the over in this game. I'll lean with Washington plus the points and I'll lean with the Over.
PITTSBURGH 20 Jacksonville (-2 ½) 19
I'll lean with Pittsburgh at +2 ½ or less, I'd consider Pittsburgh a Strong Opinion at +3 and I'd take the Steelers in a 2-Star Best Bet at +3 ½ or more.
Rutgers (-10) vs Ball State: Math favors Rutgers pretty significantly, but situations are strongly in favor of Ball State. At this point I'll pick Rutgers by 10 and thus have no opinion.
Re: Saturday Service Plays
Globalwide Sports
NCAA Football Ball State vs. Rutgers
Pick: Ball State +11
We have all seen by now that the favorites aren't the way to go in the bowl games. The public hammers the favorites thinking that they are going to blow out the other teams. It just doesn't happen like this. When teams like Ball State come in to play, the public knows nothing about them and thinks they are going to get killed. Ball State has covered the spread 7 out of 11 games this year and continue to be a great bet. Rutgers has only won 5 out of 11, proving again that people love to bet on them. This isn't the Rutgers of last year. This is a Ball State team that only lost by 11 on the road to a much better Illinois team. Ball State can't blow teams out but they can stay in games. That's all we need.
Re: Saturday Service Plays
Washington +4 at Seattle O/U 40
Recommendation: Washington
It has been one hell of a run for the Washington Redskins after
being left for dead with a late season four-game losing streak.
They managed to rally, and it came from the unlikely source of
quarterback Todd Collins, who now looks like one of the top 15
signal callers in the league. And with Collins entering the picture,
we miraculously got a response out of running back Clinton Portis,
who is known for not showing up for weeks at a time. His surge
over the last three games suddenly makes the Redskins halfway
decent with the football, something they unfortunately lacked at
times with Jason Campbell under center. It certainly wasn't all
Campbell's fault, but Collins has produced not only great stats
and wins, but a confidence this team played much of the season
without. Seattle played not only in one of the weakest divisions in
the league, but their schedule was extremely easy. In 16 games,
they played two teams that made the playoffs and their last three
opponents finished the season a combined 16 games under .500.
In those last three games, the Seahawks went 1-2. And while we
recognize the lack of importance in some of those due to having
the NFC wrapped up weeks ago, we also feel it showcases Seattle
as no more than a slightly above average football team – certainly
similar to what they'll face in Washington. To really break things
down we see Seattle playing just four games against teams with
a .500 record or better. They went 2-2 SU in those four, being
outscored by a combined total of 84-78. Washington on the other
hand played 10 teams that were .500 or better, going a respectable
4-6 SU and being outscored 222-200. The Redskins' schedule
also ranked second in the league. As for strategy, Seattle has
really morphed into a pass-happy team with Shaun Alexander less
than 100% for most of the season. After ranking 18th in passing
and 10th in rushing attempts a year ago, that has now switched
to 6th in passing and 20th in rushing. Washington has been solid
against the pass, holding Brett Favre, Eli Manning and Tony Romo
to six TDs and six INTs in five games. Matt Hasselbeck put together
a monster season on paper with nearly 4,000 yards passing,
but it is hard to ignore he played 12 games against the bottom
half of the league in terms of yards per game passing allowed.
Washington's current momentum is certainly acknowledged here,
but it is the balance on offense and continued production from the
defense that makes them the play. Throw in Seattle's worth being
in serious question due to poor scheduling (32nd-ranked schedule)
and we see plenty of value with the battle tested Redskins.
Jacksonville -1 at Pittsburgh O/U 37.5
Recommendation: Jacksonville
This one has some ingredients for a little revenge factor after
Jacksonville waltzed into Heinz Field and statistically dominated
the Steelers en route to a 29-22 victory. That wasn't even a month
ago, but things have changed dramatically for Pittsburgh after multiple
key and still lingering injuries. Jacksonville on the other hand,
continued pushing forward, looking more and more like a worthy
contestant of the Patriots if they do in fact reach that point. In fact,
the Jags are without a doubt, the sexiest team in the NFL right
now. And who could blame anyone for thinking that way? The move
to David Garrard seemed bold at the time, but the once defensiveminded,
20 points per game AFC middleweight, turned into having
one of the best and most efficient offenses in the league. Passing
the ball seems easy with Garrard, who makes few if any mistakes.
The two-headed running attack of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-
Drew helped make Jacksonville the No. 2-ranked rush offense in
the league. And while everyone is drooling over the Jags' offensive
explosion, few notice they still were ranked in the top 10 in almost
every defensive category. Pittsburgh just wasn't the same team to
close out the year. Multiple injuries to key players exposed them as
no more than a slightly above average team. And injuries or not,
Jacksonville and New England both put up 421 yards of offense –
the Pats via the pass, and the Jaguars on the ground. In fact, Pittsburgh's
weak schedule should be noted when analyzing the stout
defensive numbers they put up. Almost half of their schedule featured
teams that ranked in the bottom ten in the league in total offense.
Ben Roethlisberger and Garrard are very similar in that they
are highly efficient and never seem to try and do too much. This
style of play and the success it equaled was a clear result of being
able to run the football. Both teams rank second and third in rushing
attempts and near the bottom in passing attempts. Pittsburgh
will still run the ball and should have success with Najeh Davenport,
but us siding with Jacksonville has little to do with Parker not being
there. The Jaguars played in the better division, beat four playoff
teams -- two of which without Garrard -- and unlike Pittsburgh,
comes into this one on a roll and relatively healthy. Don't get intimidated
with a January playoff game in Heinz Field or the revenge
angle, you'll end up missing out on who is the clearly better team.

UCLA (college hoops)
5 Dime
OVER Jacksonville/Pittsburgh
WASHINGTON (college hoops)
20 Dime Jaguars - This team dominated here once before, this can dominate at Heinz Field once again. I have all the confidence in the world that Jacksonville will be moving along in the AFC Playoffs today, as it showed me the heart and dedication of a true road warrior when it came onto this very field just a few weeks back, and bullied the bully. The Jaguars ran the ball, defended the ball, hit the home team where it counted most and absolutely embarrassed the Steelers on their turf. And that was in the worst possible weather conditions.
Now it's for all the marbles. Win or you go home. And I like our chances with a football team that has two running backs who aren't afraid to shoulder the burden in case their 'green' quarterback folds under pressure in his first playoff start. We have, in my eyes, one of the league's best blocking backs (Jones-Drew) to hang in the pocket with David Garrard on pass plays, and we have a confident offensive line to protect the passing game. This offense isn't one of those of units that does its part and banks on the defense to make plays – it feeds off the stop unit to put points on the board and games out of reach.
And while the Jaguars needed an extra push to put the first game out of reach – a late surge, if you will – that game wasn't as close as the score indicated, and the fact they may have celebrated too early in that one, leads me to believe the Jags might have learned their lesson in that game. We cannot take a thing from the defense that is 10th in the NFL in points allowed at 19.0, and that finished the regular season with a plus-9 turnover differential.
I know all about Pittsburgh's No. 1 ranked defense, but this is a dinged-up football team that plummeted from darling-status under first-year coach Mike Tomlin, over the final third of the season. And without Willie Parker to tend to the time-clock management, and putting all the pressure on Ben Roethlisberger, I don't see much from this offense today.
Play the road chalk here.
5 Dime Over - These teams combined for 51 points and more than 600 yards when they faced off in Pittsburgh three weeks ago. And as you recall, that game was played in horrible conditions that included wind, snow, rain and frigid temperatures. So with the weather forecast calling for tame conditions on Saturday night, there's no reason to think these two won't light up the scoreboard again.
After all, just look at the numbers: Jacksonville scored 24 points or more in each of its final 10 games, including averaging 26.3 in six road contests. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh put up 22, 41 and 21 points in its last three outings and – if you take out that 3-0 final against Miami played in pig slop – the Steelers averaged 28.3 points at home. The Jags went over the total in each of their final six games and seven of eight on the road.
Meanwhile, the Steelers topped the total in their last three overall, and the over is an astounding 39-15-2 in Pittsburgh's last 56 home games, including 4-0 in the playoffs. This is a license to print money here.

Lysophosphatidic acid
ovarian cancer
|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a potential biomarker of ovarian cancer and is thought to promote early stages of cancer progression through the stimulation of two cell surface associated proteases. The affects of LPA on the expression and cell surface association of two proteolytic enzymes associated with ovarian cancer progression, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), were analyzed. Both MMP-9 and uPA have been linked with cancer cell invasion due to their proteolytic activity. The cell surface association and activation of MMP-9 is a chief mechanism by which cells invade collagen rich barriers, whereas the increased binding of uPA to its cell surface receptor promotes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which also promotes cell invasion. LPA was shown to increase the expression of the MMP-9 protease in a concentration dependent manner in both OVCA 429 and OVCA 433 ovarian cancer cell cultures at concentrations well below those normally found in ascites fluids ( 1 M). LPA treatment (80 M) showed as much as a 3.5 fold increase in MMP-9 expression. Further, LPA treatment increased the expression of MMP-9 over MMP-2 in conditioned media of both OVCA 429 and OVCA 433 cells. Stimulation of uPA activity was also shown in culture medium but required the elevated concentrations ( 20 M) often found in the ascites of ovarian cancer patients. Inhibitor studies showed that inhibition of PI-3K signaling (most evidently in OVCA 433 cells) and p38 MAPK (namely in OVCA 429 cells) repressed LPA stimulation of MMP-9 expression in a dose-dependent fashion. Future studies involving matrigel invasion assays will evaluate the functional consequence of LPA-stimulated MMP-9 expression and enhanced cell surface proteolysis on ovarian cancer cell invasive activity.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (AMP)
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
Light, momentary affliction and slight distress don't feel so "light" and "slight" in that moment. The pressures of life weigh down on us daily as the world and all of life's stresses relentlessly pursue our heart and mind. Though successful in casting one care on the Lord, there are a hundred more to take its place. The urgency of this world is it impending doom. There is nothing that can be done to escape the end of this world, it is coming. In fact, we do not know the day or the hour when Jesus Christ will return to claim His Bride and end satan's reign of terror on the earth. We do not have to live in desperation as other's do because we have a confident hope that we have a home with our Father in Eternity. But most believers live in stress, worry and fear every single day imprisoned by doubt that will not allow them to feel the relief that comes from hope. The things of this world are temporal not terminal. As a believer, this is not the final stop or destination for our soul. The things that are "invisible" are comprised of hope because though we must endure the trials and troubles of this life, we are eternal people who are deathless and everlasting. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by examining each moment for the Goodness and Grace of God rather than racing to the next one just to find a way out.
We have been battling cancer with our son for almost three years now. It has been a long journey with many ups and downs. There have been good days and those that I would like to forget. Without our faith in God, we would not have made it this far. Without confident hope, there is no way that I could face the uncertainty placed on tomorrow by this world. Soon, he will be admitted to the hospital to engage in a war against that which invades his body. There are more risks than I can count as a result of this procedure but it is the one procedure that offers the most natural hope. As we have walked along this long path, we have been able to do so with peace, joy and laughter even when the unthinkable happens. Our son has been diagnosed with cancer five times. Statistically the odds are not good. So how does one find hope when the world has none to offer? How do we move from moment to moment when we cannot breath as the darkness closes in? What will happen today when he gets blood work? In two weeks, when he has chemo again? Or in a month or so when he finally goes to transplant? It is overwhelming to try to see ahead of this very moment and not be overcome by fear. But God didn't script our life year by year, month by month, week by week or even day by day. He wrote our life moment by moment.
Psalm 139:13-18 (NLT)
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!
Every moment of my life has been laid out before a single day has passed. God has a plan for my life. (Jeremiah 29:11) It contains a future and hope that has been written to include these two factors. But if I race through the moments just trying to make it through the day rather than living life moment by moment, I am at risk to miss the miraculous life that God prepared for me that faith in Jesus Christ allows for me to have. There are blessings, promises, peace, joy and favor for me in each moment. Doubt will keep you from seeing such things with eyes glazed over by fear. But by faith, we believe that God is always working every detail of our life for good. (Romans 8:28) We must decide to live in each moment as not to miss His Goodness and Grace hidden there. It has been a very grueling challenge to remain faith-full and not become discouraged with our son's plight, but in each moment whether in the clinic, infusion room or hospital bed – God has been with us. We have made friends. We have found faith there. We have experienced His Favor in the most unlikely of places. Our lives have been reshaped and molded to live in the moment and not the light and momentary afflictions that we face.
Matthew 6:31-33 (NLT)
"So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
Worry kills the moments of our life. It cannot add a single moment to it but instead takes valuable and precious seconds from it. Time spent on worry is wasted. (Matthew 6:25-27)It would only seem logical that if the Lord went to all the trouble to write out our life moment to moment that He would provide everything that we need to successfully carry out His Plans. Exactly! God has provided everything we need to fulfill His Plan and Purpose for our life. There not a single detail that is not covered by His Provision. His Grace is provided for all those times that we tried to do things our way and wandered from His Way. It is just enough to position us back in righteousness. When our son became ill, everything else took a backseat in my life except finding a cure. The Lord spoke to me early on that our son will live and not die. I have put my faith in God and His Word for my life. I have faith that Jesus Christ is the Healer and our son will benefit from his belief. The challenge is not believing that for a moment but every single moment that has comprised the last three years. Endurance is required to stretch our faith from a single second to Eternity. When we begin to seek the Kingdom of God above everything else, He gives us everything we need just as the Lord planned to do. But it is up to us if we will have faith in each moment.
Matthew 27:50-54 (NLT)
Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit. At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead. They left the cemetery after Jesus' resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people. The Roman officer[a] and the other soldiers at the crucifixion were terrified by the earthquake and all that had happened. They said, "This man truly was the Son of God!"
The words that Jesus shouted were "It is finished!" Sins hold on the moments of our life was over. The curtain that separated us from the Presence of God was ripped from top to bottom. We now had access to right standing with God the Father by His Grace. The keys to the Kingdom of God were now handed back to us. We are given everything we need to live like on and daughters of the Living God. It all happened in that moment. The grave could no longer hold God's People back because the penalty of sin paid in full. But something else happened in that moment, Jesus released His Spirit. His Power would soon come to live in the heart of every person who called on the Name of Jesus Christ making Him their Savior and Lord. Our faith was empowered in that moment. Now when we believe, God's Power comes to rest in us, work through us and change the moments of our life.
2 Kings 8:1-6 (NLT)
Elisha had told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, "Take your family and move to some other place, for the LORD has called for a famine on Israel that will last for seven years." So the woman did as the man of God instructed. She took her family and settled in the land of the Philistines for seven years. After the famine ended she returned from the land of the Philistines, and she went to see the king about getting back her house and land. As she came in, the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God. The king had just said, "Tell me some stories about the great things Elisha has done." And Gehazi was telling the king about the time Elisha had brought a boy back to life. At that very moment, the mother of the boy walked in to make her appeal to the king about her house and land. "Look, my lord the king!" Gehazi exclaimed. "Here is the woman now, and this is her son—the very one Elisha brought back to life!" "Is this true?" the king asked her. And she told him the story. So he directed one of his officials to see that everything she had lost was restored to her, including the value of any crops that had been harvested during her absence.
When I read this passage today, I am overcome by God's Wonderful Grace and Goodness. The woman in this passage experienced the heartbreak of losing her son, only to have the prophet restore him to life by the Power of God. Now as a mom, I will attest that the healing power of God through Jesus Christ extended to my son is more than enough to satisfy my soul. But wait there is more, Elisha warned the woman to leave her home because there was a famine coming to Israel. So the woman did just that in obedience to God. When the famine needed, her home had been taken over by other after she left. Now the king was talking with Elisha's servant, Gehazi asking him to share the miraculous things that the prophet was doing. So as he was sharing the story of when the boy was brought to life, at that moment the mother and son arrived at the king's court to request the return of her property. What happened? Not only did the king give her back her home and land, but even compensated her for the value of her abandoned crops. Things she had left behind to follow the Word of the Lord, God redeemed everything by the Word of her testimony. God will make good on every detail of our life if by faith we live moment to moment. Obedience leads us from glory to glory as God's Plan unfolds and we find that He has left nothing on and compensates us as He redeems us along the way.
Matthew 9:20-22 (NLT)
Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, for she thought, "If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed." Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, "Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was healed at that moment.
Everyone is on a different journey in life and though some will instantly attain faith for others it may take some time. God's Grace and Mercy affords us such time. However, it does not exempt us from the pain of separation from the Living God. What does this mean? The woman suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding. She suffered so there was pain and discomfort associated with her female condition. But when she decided to put her faith in Jesus Christ and do something about it (if I can just touch his robe), the woman was healed at that moment. Friend, don't let it be the absence of faith in Jesus Christ that keeps you from your miracle. Do not suffer unnecessarily for longer than you have to. Jesus Christ has placed His Spirit inside of you. If you call on His Name, anything you ask for according to His Word will be done. Healing is God's Will for your life because it is found in His Word. "By His Stripes you are healed." Deliverance is God's Will for your life. "He came to set the captive free." Faith is empowered by the Word of God. Find it in His Word and you can have it. Confident hope in the unseen is fortified by faith that is credible. Credible faith is found in the moments we spend getting to know God, finding His Will and doing what He says. This builds our confidence as we begin to see it all come to pass simply because we believed enough to give Him that moment.
Esther 4:13-14 (NLT)
Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: "Don't think for a moment that because you're in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed. If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?"
The story of Esther is not exactly a fairytale in the making. She was not brought into the palace to be his wife. She was prepared to be a vessel used and discarded by the king. However, in the midst of her situation – she found favor with the king. The king would marry Esther. Esther was a Jew. She was a Child of God. However, in the midst of her captivity a plot arose to kill the Jews so Mordecai sent word to Esther. She did not know what she could do from her position. However, Esther's favor with the king allowed her access to his presence. As Mordecai told Esther, the Lord is speaking to us. "Who know if perhaps you were made for such a time as this?" If God is using each moment for our good, then it is entirely possible the light and momentary trials and troubles you are facing even the traumas could be positioning you for a greater purpose than you ever realized. God will use you to be a light to the world or a city on the hill as you endure the stresses and worries of life seeking first and foremost the Kingdom of God. What am I saying? It is worth it to secure each moment by faith. It is worth it to count it all joy. It is worth it. Samson found strength under attack when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he killed the lion. (Judges 14:5-6) The Lord went ahead of David to meet him at the place of sacrifice to end the plaque on His People. (2 Samuel 24:15-21) The moment Daniel prayed and confessed the sins of the people, God sent forth a command to send an angel to him. (Daniel 9:20-23) The moment King Jehoshaphat and the people began to praise God, the enemy was defeated. They did not even have to fight a single battle. (2 Chronicles 20:15-24) You have the Power of God in you to change the outcome of every second of your life if you choose to live in that moment by faith in God. By faith, we believe in the Word, Will and Way of God so that we do not doubt, worry and stress over every little thing or look too far ahead of the very moment that we are in. This is to live what we believe making it possible for everything to change in that moment!
Matthew 6:28-30 (NLT)
"And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?"
Mark 9:23-24 (NLT)
"What do you mean, 'If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes." The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!"
I Corinthians 15:51-58 (NLT)
But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: "Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Two medications commonly used to treat high blood pressure appear to be effective in treating a common type of heart disease known as stable ischemic heart disease, according to a new comparative effectiveness review funded by HHS' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. A version of the analysis was posted in the October 20 online version of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Treatment featuring the two medications -- inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers, or ARBs -- can lead to a reduction in death, risk of heart attack, risk of stroke and fewer hospitalizations for heart failure for patients suffering from stable ischemic heart disease, researchers found. However, the drugs have risks of their own. Risks associated with ACE inhibitors include a persistent cough, sudden fainting, too much potassium in the blood, and dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension). Risks associated with ARBs include too much potassium in the blood and low blood pressure.
"Stable ischemic heart disease is a major cause of death in the United States, so these findings are very encouraging," said AHRQ Director Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D. "This comparative effectiveness report will be a useful tool for patients to help them work with their clinicians to make choices on treatment."
Stable ischemic heart disease occurs when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart is reduced because of narrowed or blocked arteries. Symptoms of stable ischemic heart disease include decreased tolerance of exercise and severe chest pain on exertion (known as angina), which afflicts about 9 million U.S. adults. Long-term risks of stable ischemic heart disease include heart failure and heart attack. Overall, heart disease is among the nation's most common and deadly illnesses, afflicting nearly 80 million Americans and killing nearly 2,400 every

This is my first blog on Giant Bomb, so I guess I'll keep it relatively short. And also just to let you guys know, I have never played any previous Burnout games in the series.
A few months back, using my nearby game store's trade-in policy, I got myself a copy of Burnout Paradise: the Ultimate Box by trading in my Fallout 3 and paying the equivalent of about $5 USD. Sometimes I still regret this decision, as 4 more DLC updates for Fallout 3 came out after Op. Anchorage (the only one out at that time). However, there's no doubt that I've had an excellent time with Burnout: Paradise; I've played spent around 61 hours in Paradise City. In those 61 hours, I've gotten 74 of the 75 cars, earned myself an Elite License, completed more than 100 online challenges, bought a cute little toy Hunter Cavalry, and generally had a lot of fun.
Sure, it was frustrating at times to be in the lead in a race only to crash into a car parked on the side of the road; or drift around a corner at high speed only to wreck because of a slow-moving "normal" car that's in my way; but in the end, I realize that those are really part of the Burnout experience. Gone is the closed racetrack; instead there is a simple yet effective system of "GO HERE! (any way you want)". And Race is only one of the event types too! Road Rage, Stunt Run, Marked Man, and Burning Route were all fun to play too.
In the end, I guess what I felt when I beat the final event that was required to get my elite license - the WTR's burning route, was satisfaction. I felt (and still feel) that I have accomplished something in the 61 hours of playing this game. And although it has its few rough spots, there is just a lot to do in Paradise City! As someone who buys a new game every few months or so, and gets to buy maybe 3 or 4 games out of the many coming out before, during, (and a little after), the holiday season, Burnout Paradise was able to last for quite a while after I got it.
The "finished" is in quotation marks because although I probably won't be playing Burnout Paradise that often anymore, there are still plenty of online challenges to do, and I guess achievements to get. And I haven't even gotten Big Surf Island!
So I just wanted to share my feelings about "beating" the game, hope I haven't written too much of a review here.
Fable 2 time.....
