The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens 19-16 on Sunday and below is my list of winners and losers from the game. Feel free to add your own in the comments below.
Shaun Suisham – Don't look now, but Suisham has yet to miss this season. His 42-yarder with time running out won the game.
Lawrence Timmons – Timmons registered 17 total tackles in the game and 11 of them were within three yards of the line of scrimmage. Three of those came in key short-yardage situations.
William Gay – Three total tackles and two key passes defensed earns Gay a spot on the winners list. Yes, Jacoby Jones had him burned for what looked like an easy touchdown, but he stayed with the play and didn't get called for pass interference to boot.
Le'Veon Bell – 93 yards on 19 carries in a game that the Steelers really needed it. Yes, the blocking was good, but Bell showed great patience and registered several of his yards after first contact.
Emmanuel Sanders – Sanders only had one catch for seven yards, but his 44 yard kickoff return at the end of the game set the offense up in great field position and it resulted in a win.
Derek Moye – Moye had a fantastic leaping catch early in the second quarter, but his drop in the end zone on third down with 10:09 left in the game allowed the Ravens to stick around. He has to make that catch if he expects to see more playing time.
Heath Miller – I hate to put Miller on this list, but his fumble led to three points at the end of the first half and that really changed the momentum of the game. While it was a low throw on the final drive from Ben Roethlisberger, Miller should also be charged with a drop as the ball hit him in the hands.
I felt that Beachum also had a good game today
Winners – Steelers. Losers – Ravens
This gives the Steelers some hope. It also hurts our most bitter rival (the vial, disgusting, diseased and infested Ravens.) This doesn't salvage the season, but every win is a good thing and wins against the Ravens should always have extra meaning. Cheers!
I want to add Woodley to the winner list because he had a great game and our only sack. I am also adding Paulson for not fumbling this time, although he almost did. Losers should include Jason Worlids for being invisible again, except for 1 tackle, Marcus Gilbert for making Guy Whimper look serviceable, and Cortez Allen, who had 6 tackles, but gave up 41 and 22 yards on two passes to the Raven Receiver he was covering. I agree with Moye to the extent that he blew an opportunity to be amazing.
He did have a good game, but he gave up at least 1 sack and a few pressures. I know that Suggs and Dumerville are a tough OLB combo.
Can't disagree with your list. Add Troy for the aggressiveness he displayed tonight, and all season. Jumping the O-line on the FG attempt was ill-advised, but it made a statement we needed. He's one of the few players pushing the envelope, living on the edge and we need that. I know it's not error-free football, but we need some swagger and he is providing it. (Nice hit on WR for the second straight game, too.)
I wouldn't put Sanders on my winners list. He was invisible on offense, his primary position. He made one good KR, which could have been great if he had stayed in bounds.
I also wouldn't put Moye on my losers list. He had to targets today, and both were catchable, but neither was an easy catch. He made one play, didn't make the other. On the one he didn't make, it's not as if he was wide open and the ball hit him in the chest.
Agree with the rest – Suisham for sure, he's been the most consistent performer on the team. Honorable mentions to Ben and Woodley, who both played solid games, just as they should as the two highest paid players on the team.
Troy had a very up and down day, he had a couple other bad plays, but also made some great ones. Jumping on the FG would have turned out much worse if the Ravens had accepted the penalty, got the ball at the one, and made the 2-point conversion. Of course, as it turns out the Steelers would have still won, but that could have been bad.
Other than that one play, I would agree with you, the aggressiveness generally is worth the bad play or two because it keeps the other team guessing.
Good to see the Steelers finally get the run game going. O-line blocked well and Bell did a good job hitting the holes.
Paulson was also able to Block today. Great Game.
On the winners list should be Todd Halley coming out with his most innovative game since being hired with this new Wildcat offense and the shuffle pass to Miller in all making this offense less predictable. Next up still need to work on getting 7's instead of 3's in the redzone!
So we punish Sanders for his lack of targets but not Moye? ok, got it. Also receivers should catch passes that hit them in the hands. Sanders return effectively won the game.
Like your list
Ive been saying since the offseason that Sanders should be used on kick and punt returns this year, obviously the play was what it was, but he's fast and elusive like A.Brown and we should get our monies worth out of him this season
Ike Taylor belongs on the crap list, got a PI and gave up a bomb again, then a little later gave up a slant and got beat for a nice gain on a third and long, he is definitely showing signs of losing speed.
Moye should have had the td pass for sure, it was easier than the one he caught.
When Miller and Moye are the only players on the Loser list, it usually means we Won the Game. No complaints here….
As someone who's been very critical of Woodley in the past, he gets full props from me today and deserves to be on the winners list.
you should go back and watch the catch by Smith. Taylor had GREAT coverage on the play.
Good point. Haley finally gets some love.
Like the nod for Shamarko.
Big loser-Raves fan who was running his mouth in the bathroom.
hope is for dreamers.
this was a statement game that we are in it to win it!
Beachum, Bell and the line will and are developing before our eyes…this means everything for us…and the D just needed that offensive presence to be the top 5 D they are and will be by the end of the season!
I had to see it to believe it. Gay was worth re-signing, looks like benching hood was also a great move..
Yes, I still wonder why it took four games to make adjustments. But Glad they got it done..
I think the special teams overall should be a winner, they had three good returns, and didn`t give up any big plays. And Suisham was clutch.. One bad play was Mesko`s only punt, that guy has been disappointing to say the least, I see why the Pats cut him
I am thrilled by the win, but we might want to add our 3rd down defense to the losers list. It seemed like we could not make a critical stop when we really needed to.
And Moye's issue looks mostly related to a lack of playing time. That's a feedback loop type situation.
Haley has been better this year than he was getting credit for, but it is really showing now.
Or he times it perfectly and blocks the extra point and we still win.
Or the Ravens excepted the penalty and got the ball at the one and took the point off the board and didn't make the 2 point conversion and we still win.
It's Troy being Troy.
Agree Moye has to make that catch. To say Sanders return effectively won the game, not so much. Ben and the O, and Suisham won us the game.
Because 1-4 will cause a team to pull out all the stops in a desperate move to get a win.
I'd throw Paulson on the winner list. He's definitely turning into a good second TE this season. Wonder 7th round pick last year along with Beachum.
Personally I think it might make sense to throw in an "Okay, but needs improvement" on this list.
Moye showed a lot for a waiver wire pickup and camp body with no chance of making an active roster and with a little more time could evolve into a great Red Zone threat. Definitely someone who is earning his way towards more opportunities on offense even with the drop in the Red Zone.
Same with Sanders. He's showing some splashes of why the Steelers kept him around, but he's also left a lot to be desired.
Sanders 1 catch 7 yards 2 targets.
Moye 1 catch 19 yards 2 targets
Yes the drop was bad, and Ben's throw was perfect, but if you just look at the stat line…..putting Moye on the losers list is being a bit harsh IMO.
I have to add your boy Whimper.
For Timmons to get 11 tackles within 3 yds of the LOC, I'm tempted to go the entire DL, but will settle for McClendon, and Heyward as noted, but Brett gave a solid effort at less than full health.
I thought he played well too…that sack was a grab by the jersey as Beachum was riding him by Ben…really strong hands to bring him down like that I thought so more of great play by Suggs….hats off to Bicknell…the last two games the OL has adjusted and played better in the 2nd half.
I'm not punishing Sanders or putting him on my losers list, just not calling him a winner. But since you brought it up, yeah, the #2 WR should get more targets than the #4 WR. He was certainly the primary option on more plays, and just wasn't open.
Exactly, sometimes when you're in single coverage you can do everything right, but if the play is perfectly executed by the offense, you still don't stop it. Ike is still a great CB, and anyone who disagrees simply isn't paying attention to all his tough assignments during the game.
You're right. Now he just needs to pay his dog sitter!
I think it was more the timing and the possible ramifications of the drop that got him there. On the plus side, he didn't lay on the ground and act like he was hurt, and he was stand up about it after the game.
Moye on the losers list? Give me a break….only one person on the planet knows how easy or tough that catch was to make! Ever consider that he might have been unsighted at the last minute and couldn't eye the ball in?
If anything Antonio's drop last week was worse,…and he made the winners list last week!!
I thought the o-line played very good, they dumped the zone blocking and now are playing more straight up. The play calling was good they are starting to get away from the draw and bubble screen and are incorporating some slants ,double move and they actually ran a shovel pass. I hope they keep improving i think now everyone realizes how hard it is to play good football with the large number of starters they turned over this year. Now if they can stay healthy and keep improving who knows.
Once again labeling receivers it not hard to figure out who should get the targets, the open guy.
Haley is on my winners list. Two games in a row against the Ravens, his offense has put up 23 and 19 points against the Ravens without the help of the kind of defensive turnovers we used to get in the series in the latest game. And this with some bad fumbles by his players in both games. He had some awful gameplans early in the season, but the offense has been much improved in the last 3 games.
Sanders should be the full time returner once Wheaton comes back healthy and is integrated into the offense better. Take AB off of returns. AB is too valuable as the primary receiver to risk him on returns plus AB's judgement has been suspect since that Dallas game scared him that he could make an error any time. Felix had one nice return, but I still prefer Sanders.
RYAN CLARK is on my LOSERS list. Once again, victimized by Flacco on a game tying or game winning TD.
You are right , but Haley being Haley costed us at least 2 games he only changed when the noose was around his neck.
Which two were those? The Tennessee game yes, but mistakes on the field are what cost us the other games we were in, not Haley's play calling.
Haley constantly running that stupid draw play and those bubble screens with no blocking over and over . Slowed this offense down for 4 games . Like i said it was only when his job was on the line that he broke out of his peanut shell. He was pounding a circle into a square for 4 games. I won't forget it because i know he's a stubborn man and will be at it again before long.
Maybe you should re-watch them. For two of those four games we averaged 25 points and 450 yards a game to go along with more 20+ yard plays than we've seen in a long while, and that with the offense being slowed by a ton of turnovers from Ben. I don't know what games you were watching but thiee aren't the plays Haley was relying on against the Bear or Vikings.
Sanders return set up the win. So he is on the winners list. I would like to add Woodley and Heyward to the winners list. I know we don't have an honorable mention but I would add Foster there. I've been critical of his play but he played well in this game. OL is improving as a unit. Clark to the losers list.
OL play has improved…be it scheme or whatever but they are adjusting to what teams are throwing at them…b-t-b weeks they played better in the 2nd half.
I have to give to Haley for going off the grid with some wildcat…the flow of the game kind of dictating it, but also happy to see him stick with the run. Moye dropping 6 was disappointing, but this was a typical PIT/BAL game.
We've had this debate many times, but I'm a fan of the bubble screen…even if they don't work for big yds…if the DE chases, it has to have some effect on him holding that edge or getting him to cheat out there and cut inside of him.
They cut Mesko mostly because of cap and monies owed in his final contract year, he played great for them.. and I think he'll play great for us as well
I think I'd keep Felix on most kick returns and then put Sanders on punt & some kick returns
After all the bashing they've taken this season, and deservedly so, the entire steelers OLINE should be on the winners list.
Moye's missed opportunity in the endzone isn't good and he does need to make that catch, but it would have been a harder catch to make than Brown's miss last week in the endzone that hit him right in the bread basket. I feel that with his other catch (tremendous), he was even, not a loser.
I also would have Ryan Clark as a loser for this week as well as this entire season. Aside from an INT that was thrown directly to him and caused by A bump at the line of scrimmage, Clark has shown signs of decline this year. I love the guy for all he has done, but he has been invisible in most games. Only play I can recall him taking place in was biting on the bootleg and giving up the TD. He also missed a ton of tackles against the Vikings. glad to see Shamarko out there on a lot of snaps because of the nickel they almost exclusively played, but when in the normal 3-4 the reigns may need to go to Shamarko sooner than later. I had Thomas as a winner for last night as well.
I agree with you. I think this is Clark's last year. My buddy was at the game and said the fans were giving him an earful.
My winners list
Ben Roethlisberger, finally some scrambles.
Offensive line from left to right
Todd Haley-great job with play calling yesterday
Le'veon Bell-very patient waited for holes to open, not the fastest guy but that first step is dangerous.
Special Teams except Mesko-Held down Jacoby Jones, Suisham was money, and being ready for the stupid onside kick.
Loser list-Ryan Clark-Good job Kevin Colbert not giving him an extension he is finished, want to see more Shamarko there but not sure if he is a strong or free.
Zoltan Mesko-Awful punt no hang time I expect competition soon.
Ike Taylor- Ike just has trouble with speedy wr over all was not horrible but could have really hurt.
John Harbaugh-idiot
heinz field-chicken should not taste like fish.
(re: Mesko) The big question here is when?! He's had plently of time especially the way we played during the first 4 games. He really put us in situations in London.
Agreed. What gets under my skin the most is how far off our CBs play in critical situations like 3rd down!!!
Is it time to bench Clark for Golden or Shamarko? I think it is worth serious consideration. Perhaps this will light a fire under Ryan like it did with Dwyer after he was released…he's clearly a different player now.
He kicked well against Tenn, Cinci and NYJ, but yea he and pretty much the rest of the Team had a bad game in London
I would add Woodley to the winners for the sack and some consistent pressure. Plus, that guy has some huge guns! I too hate to see Miller on the losers list… He just didn't seem himself to me.
I thought that Worilds and Woodley both had above average games. Cam Heyward also showed his presence. I am happy for Whimper getting some good press for a change but am I the only one who watched him go in to pass protection mode on a running play once he got in to the game? Luckily it had no bearing but seeing him step back and rise while the rest of line was pulling and pushing was kind of indicative of his well known past. That aside, kudos to Guy.
Clark is still 2nd on the Team in total tackles, by far its not even close. He's 2nd only to Timmons who just had a MONSTER game. I agree there are signs of decline, but he's still the best option…. for now
So far this year we are averaging 17 points per game. against the vikings and Bears we did over use the bubble screen and the lead draw after those games started getting out of hand it was obvious Ben was winging it.the fact remains. Haley is a very poor coach and coordinator. I watch all the games very closely as i have for the 48 years.
Whatever, have it your way. Your opinion is clearly the only valid one, facts be damned.
Also would like to mention that Sanders bringing the ball out after fielding it deep in the end zone is really not a good idea. He got lucky but easily could have put us in a hole deep in our own end. Not very smart if you ask me. Granted he got lucky and it ended up good but I would say more often then not it will not be that way.

routing information pertaining to each of said first number of query messages to correlated subject matter experts; and
posting a second number of said query messages on an electronic bulletin board.
[0001] The present invention is directed to information processing and knowledge systems and methods and more specifically for mining questions to and answers from appropriate experts on an Internet or any network and using the mined data to direct future questions.
[0002] In the computerized world of today, the exchange of information via e-mail is increasingly common and available. Computer based forums and message and bulletin boards provide an abundance of information on various topics and may be used by individuals to solicit (and provide) information on a variety of topics. Similarly, other services are available on the world wide web ("WWW") in which individuals can proclaim their expertise in an area and a user can use the WWW to try to identify such "subject matter experts" (SMEs) to address various topics within their respective areas of subject matter expertise. Similarly, within companies self-proclaimed or recognized experts can field technical inquiries within their field of expertise from other employees over the Intranet operated by the company. Examples of these systems include E-HOW, ARZOO, ASK ME, and KEEN.com. However, in each of these examples, the question author must navigate through the system to identify and select the best expert for their needs.
[0003] Whether over the Internet or over an intranet within a company, experts can be identified in two known ways. First, a self-proclaimed expert can announce his or her "expertise" in an area and solicit questions within his or her area of expertise. Alternatively, an individual seeking information may post a message requesting help in a specific area. Other users of the Internet (intranet) may read this notice, decide they are able to help the individual looking for an expert, and reply to the inquiry.
[0004] Alternatively, questions and answers on a particular topic may be indiscriminately stored in a database and the database may be accessed when an individual has an inquiry of a specific nature within the subject of the database or related topic. For instance, if a database were created to hold all questions and answers related to "storage devices," an individual who had a question about a storage device may search the database in an attempt to find the answer to their specific question. Failing to find an appropriate answer, the individual may attempt to identify an individual who has answered related questions in order to direct their current question to that individual.
[0005] Currently, Tacit Knowledge Systems, Inc. offers "tacit knowledge mail," in conjunction with a company's intranet to mine information from electronic messages sent by their employees via electronic mail (e-mail). Once these e-mails have been mined for data, the tacit system has the ability to profile an employee based on the information contained in previously sent e-mails. The tacit system then identifies SMEs in specific areas using the profiling information. The tacit system thereafter may provide the names of the SMEs to other system users from keywords which match mined data and are associated with an expert. For example, within a company a specific individual may answer all questions related to storage devices. The tacit system would, upon mining these e-mail messages sent out by the individual, identify the individual as an expert in storage systems or a SME in storage systems. At a later time, when another employee has a question related to storage systems, the tacit system may provide the next employee with the name of the SME by matching names of storage device names extracted from the electronic messages sent by the SME. Procedurally, this matching would occur when the next employee search keywords contained in the tacit system associated with various SMEs, found a match, and received the name of the SME.
[0006] The present invention is directed to a system and method which processes information queries by receiving a plurality of query messages and identifying areas of subject matter expertise in a first number of the query messages. Each of the query messages within said first number of query messages are correlated with subject matter experts associated with identified areas of subject matter expertise. The first number of query messages are routed to correlated subject matter experts while a second number of the query messages are posted on an electronic bulletin board.
[0007] Furthermore, the subject matter expert's knowledge is defined and refined based on a combination of self-proclaimed expertise, the content, and accuracy of the material the SME contributes on an ongoing basis.
[0008]FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a knowledge system according to one embodiment of the present invention; and
[0009]FIG. 2 is a flow diagram detailing a method according to the invention.
[0010] The current invention mines, or searches and identifies, data of interest from questions and answers in an Internet forum setting to identify subject matter experts (SMEs) and their respective areas of subject matter expertise. Once identified, forum questions within the identified areas of subject matter expertise of the SME may be sent directly to the expert. Alternatively, the expert may be notified that there is a pending inquiry within their field, or, with the expert's permission, the individual posting the inquiry may be given the electronic address of the expert for use in directing the inquiry directly to the appropriate SME.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment the subject matter experts are associated with their subject matter expertise through a database or similar structure. A preferred method of continually refreshing the database includes mining the initial ongoing data from electronic mail (or e-mail) messages sent by individuals, white papers, electronic copies of marketing literature, including attachments to such messages. This preliminary function may be performed using a profiling platform such as the previously described tacit system platform to handle e-mail. That is, as users create and send e-mail, the tacit system platform, which uses that data contained within the e-mail, creates a profile including associate key words. Once the profile is created and contains associated key words, it may be used to identify a SME. The profiling platform then matches the key phrases that are entered (for example product names, product numbers, or description of problems) with the information contained in the profiles that are in their database. If a match is found, the profiling system platform returns a list of "experts" to the user. Note that a profiling platform itself may not accept a question/answer format. Instead, conventional profiling platforms typically required that, once the expert is identified, the user must send an e-mail containing the inquiry to that expert. Thus, once a conventional platform (such as the tacit system) creates profiles from data contained in scanned electronic files or messages, it uses the information collected to identify a SME and provide this identifying information to a request or when appropriate.
[0012] The profiling platform may operate as most search engines, by ignoring "stop" words such as "the" and "a", and focuses on "nonstop" or key words such as product names, problems, model numbers, etc. U.S. Pat. No. 6,253,202 B1, entitled, "Method, System And Apparatus For Authorizing Access By A First User To A Knowledge Profile Of A Second User Responsive To An Access Request From The First User" issued Jun. 26, 2001; U.S. Pat. No. 6,205,472 B1, entitled, "Method And Apparatus For Querying A User Knowledge Profile" issued Mar. 20, 2001; U.S. Pat. No. 6,154,783 entitled"Method And Apparatus For Addressing An Electronic Document For Transmission Over A Network" issued Nov. 28, 2000 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,115,709 entitled "Method And System For Constructing A Knowledge Profile Of A User Having Unrestricted And Restricted Access Portions According To Respective Levels Of Confidence Of Content Of The Portions" issued Sep. 5, 2000 describe the tacit product profiling platform and are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0013] The tacit profiling platform includes an algorithm that is used to identify and rate probabilities associated with the subject matter of an expert. This algorithm includes the use of frequency of occurrence of the nonstop words and proximity of nonstop words to each other. This information is used to predict a probability associated with receiving an answer regarding the inquiry of the individual. Once the tacit profiling platform identifies the expert to the individual, the functions performed by the platform are considered completed.
[0014]FIG. 1 shows an overall diagram of one embodiment of the invention. A profile is built by the system by monitoring and examining communications between expert 105 and a bulletin board or a forum. Expert 105 may communicate by contributing answers through the forums web interface, 107. Answers contributed by subject matter expert (SME)105 are sent to knowledge database 103 and knowledge processing platform 102, or knowledge product, builds a profile of SME 105 by identifying nonstop (i.e., key) words, frequency and relationship of nonstop words, and their association with SME 105. Expert profiles are then created and stored in knowledge database 103 for later use. When user 106 uses forums web interface 101 to submit a question, a query message, or a number of query messages, the text of the question is "mined" for nonstop words and the identified nonstop words are compared to information stored in knowledge database 103. The question can be of any length, such as one sentence or several paragraphs. The question is sent to knowledge processing platform 102 which identifies the appropriate experts and notifies the experts in that subject matter of the inquiry. This notification may be by routing the question or query message to the expert. The expert, at their discretion, should be able to either enter into a real time discussion with the question author, or respond to the question on the bulletin board at his/her convenience.
[0015] When user 106 posts a question, SME 105 is notified of the question when it falls within their area of subject matter expertise. Simultaneously the question posted by user 106 can also be stored in forums database 104 for the broader community to view and possibly respond to. Anyone in the forum community can answer the inquiry but expert 105 has been proactively notified of a specific question that fits their profile that is stored in knowledge database 103.
[0016] Forums database 104 also includes a search function so any user may use the search function to review data contained in the database prior to posting a question. Additionally, forums database 104 may be configured to store questions posted by user 106 and answers supplied by SME 105. In this configuration, an additional search may be performed to determine if a responsive answer is already included in forums database 104.
[0017] For example, once a database associating SMEs 105 with their subject matter expertise, information queries can be processed in the following manner. User 106 submits one or more query messages using forum web interface 101. Once received the query messages are analyzed by knowledge processing platform 102 to determine if each query message contains references to predetermined or newly and/or dynamically defined areas of subject matter expertise. For query messages which are recognized as containing references to previously identified areas of subject matter expertise a correlation is performed to associate those query messages with the SMEs 105. The query messages containing references to these areas of subject matter expertise are then routed to the appropriate subject matter experts. Additionally, query messages may be posted on the electronic bulletin board.
[0018] Messages posted on the electronic bulletin board may consist of all messages, messages which were forwarded to subject matter experts, messages which were not forwarded to subject matter experts, those designated by message submitters, or a combination thereof. The query messages may be questions submitted to a bulletin board or a forum.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment an individual is not classified as a SME until they have answered a minimum number of questions within a particular subject matter area. Rating mechanisms may be used in deciding when an individual who has answered questions is included within the database. One rating mechanism which may be used solicits response satisfaction "scores" rating the SME answer by the individual who submitted the original question. In one embodiment each query submitted may score the answers on a scale of 1 to with one being a low rating and 10 being the highest rating. In this embodiment an individual who answers questions may be included in the database after attaining a cumulative score of 250 points. Subject matter experts may also be rated. For example, a "pro" may be a SME with a cumulative score of 250 points; a "graduate" with a score of 500 points; and a "wizard" with a score of 1,000 points. Alternatively, an average score may be used to eliminate subject matter experts with low scores or who fail to provide adequate answers. A SME's expertise will constantly be refined based on their ongoing contribution to the community.
[0020] In addition, an individual who has been identified as a potential subject matter expert may be asked to provide information concerning their area of expertise or of areas in which they desire to answer questions.
[0021]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a method according to one embodiment of the invention. Entering at step 201, pertinent bulletin boards and forums are identified at step 202. These bulletin boards and forums may include those supported by internal servers on a company-wide Intranet and/or publicly accessible resources available on, for example, the Internet. At step 203, the content of the bulletin boards and forums are processed to eliminate noise words as previously described. Noise words are terms and phrases which are not helpful in identifying the subject matter of a textual document including, for example, the words "the", "a", etc. The remaining words and phrases are identified at step 204. Then, at step 205 these key words and phrases are categorized into defined subject matter areas. For example, the terms and phrases including "toner cartridge", "print engine", "fuser", "paper tray", etc. may all be associated with printers and/or copier machines. Further distinctions may be made using other terminology approximate to such key terms and phrases.
[0022] At the same time that the postings are parsed to identify the subject matter areas of the postings, identifying information is collected concerning potential SME candidates, step 206, based on the posted responses to corresponding questions as shown in step 207. At step 208, the SME candidate is associated with one or more subject matter areas of expertise. Depending on the granularity of the categorization effected at step 205, a SME may be associated with several subject matter areas of expertise, each of which may include different qualifications or rankings in association with the SME. Thus, at step 209, the SME candidates are ranked in each subject matter based on a number of criteria including, for example, the number, timeliness and recency of responses identified on the bulletin boards and forums. Evaluations received from individuals posting questions may also be used in ranking SME candidates. In addition, other documents including SME responses to earlier questions may be considered in formulating a list of SME candidates including, for example, electronic articles published by SME, academic and professional qualifications, etc. At step 210 the SME candidates may be contacted to solicit their voluntary or other type of participation at which time additional information may be requested together with participation preferences of the SME candidate. For example, the SME candidate may edit the subject matter areas in which they would agree to respond to questions, limit the number of responses over some period such as over the course of a month, request that their participation remain anonymous by having all communications channeled through the platform, or provide other rules used in contacting the SME. Thus, at step 211, the participating screens are associated, in priority order with areas of subject matter expertise together with rules to be used in contacting the SMEs.
[0023] Having built the basic database, a request for information is received at step 212. Instead of merely posting the request in the form of a question on a bulletin board or forum listing, the system, at step 215, parses the request to eliminate noise words and to identify subject matter areas to which the information requested is directed. The associated bulletin board and/or forum is searched at step 214 to identify any similar questions and answers that may be responsive to the information request forming a first part of a response. At step 215, the appropriate SME or SMEs are identified. The rules established for each of the identified SMEs are reviewed at step 216 and implemented. Thus, SMEs requiring that they be notified of the request and forwarded a copy of the question are contacted, while SMEs agreeing to be contacted directly by an information requestor are listed.
[0024] A third part of the information process is initiated at step 217 wherein the question is posted on the message board or with the forum. At step 218, SME answers in response to steps 216 and 217 are collected and, at step 219 are compiled together with a list of candidate existing questions/answers (e.g., frequently asked questions (FAQs)) as identified in step 214 and contact information for SMEs listed as a result of step 216. At step 220, the response including some or all of the items compiled in step 219 is forwarded to the requestor. At the same time, the requestor is solicited to provide feedback to be used in rating the SMEs and ranking them. Thus, at step 221, feedback from the requesters are incorporated into the SME information including, for example, the definition of areas in which the SME has particular expertise. According to one implementation, the SME may be given a summary of feedback information and provided with an opportunity to make corrections and/or change his/her participation preferences. At step 222 the various answers received from the SMEs are posted and, at step 223, the process terminates.

Here's a look at the stocks making contest "news." Earnings helped the best performers while M&A talks took their toll on the worst performers--as you'll see below. Charter appears on the most widely held list as well as taking its usual spot on the most actives. If there's a lesson here folks--it's earnings--which can boost a stock for big gains--but can also hurt. The guessing "game" as always, is to figure out which way they will go.

Good news. Bye Q.
Makes sense. Q offered very little. I'm not sure about Wise, but he certainly can't be any worse.
Not Deno?
Savior will have to wait.
Krivsky DFA's one of his own.
Oh a Wise Guy eh.??...RRRRR Ruff Ruff. (RIP Curly). Thank Goodness. Q offered very little. Wise is at least young and woulda made the team outta ST if he didnt get hurt. Good for Dwayne!
What are the number for wise this year in the minors?
He tore apart double A, but hit 250 in AAA
I'm more happy about McCracken being gone than Wise being here. Wise may have had a nice spring and he's toolsy, but he's never had anything approaching success in the big leagues. He's also been pretty hit-or-miss in his minor-league record, too.
that pretty well sums it up. There isn't any reason to believe he will be anything more than a marginal improvement over QM.Quote:

glad to see it too, I saw Q many times here in Durham in the minors over the years, and he was a complete prick, even as a nobody on a minor league team. I was dissapointed when we signed him, and am glad he is gone now!!! On top of it, he went to dook, so further reason to dislike him :)

Isochron Discordances and the Role of Inheritance and Mixing of Radioisotopes in the Mantle and Crust
by Andrew A. Snelling, Ph.D.
Download Isochron Discordances and the Role of Inheritance and Mixing of Radioisotopes in the Mantle and Crust PDF
RATE II: Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth: Results of a Young-Earth Creationist Research Initiative, (Volume II), L. Vardiman et al., eds. (San Diego, CA: Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society, 2005)
New radioisotope data were obtained for ten rock units spanning the geologic record from the recent to the early Precambrian, five of these rock units being in the Grand Canyon area. All but one of these rock units were derived from basaltic magmas generated in the mantle. The objective was to test the reliability of the model and isochron "age" dating methods using the K-Ar, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, and Pb-Pb radioisotope systems. The isochron "ages" for these rock units consistently indicated that the α-decaying radioisotopes (238U, 235U, and 147Sm) yield older "ages" than the β-decaying radioisotopes (40K, 87Rb). Marked discordances were found among the isochron "ages" yielded by these radioisotope systems, particularly for the seven Precambrian rock units studied. Also, the longer the half-life of the α- or β-decaying radioisotope, and/or the heavier the atomic weight of the parent radioisotope, the greater was the isochron "age" it yielded relative to the other α- or β-decaying radioisotopes respectively. It was concluded that because each of these radioisotope systems was dating the same geologic event for each rock unit, the only way this systematic isochron discordance could be reconciled would be if the decay of the parent radioisotopes had been accelerated at different rates at some time or times in the past, the α-decayers having been accelerated more than the β-decayers. However, a further complication to this pattern is that the radioisotope endowments of the mantle sources of basaltic magmas can sometimes be inherited by the magmas without resetting of the radioisotope "clocks" during ascent, intrusion, and extrusion in the earth's crust. This is particularly evident in recent or young rocks. Some evidence of opensystem behavior was also found, and crustal contamination of some of the rock units was evident from their isotope geochemistry. Nevertheless, the overall systematic trend of radioisotope "ages" in the rock units according to their relative positions in the geologic record confirms that accelerated radioisotope decay was the dominant factor operating through earth history, with inheritance and mixing of radioisotopes from the mantle and crust as contributing factors in producing anomalous "ages." Within the Biblical framework of earth history, it is thus postulated that accelerated radioisotope decay accompanied the catastrophic geologic processes operating early in the Creation week and during the subsequent global Flood. Furthermore, because each of the three assumptions of conventional radioisotope dating—known initial conditions, closed-system behavior, and constancy of decay rates—have been clearly shown to be subject to failure, the radioisotope methods cannot, and should not, be relied upon to produce absolute "ages" for the earth's rock strata.

Assemblyman Don Miller (R,C,I- Clay) participated in the property-tax-cap hearing held by the New York State Assembly in Albany on March 1, during which he cited job growth as "New York's number-one priority," and emphasized his plan for a zero-growth property-tax proposal.
Miller was a panelist during the hearing, and stressed the need to reduce the financial burden on Central New Yorkers in order to promote job growth. County and school administrators that support a cap on property taxes but oppose current legislation that does not also include substantial unfunded mandate relief also participated in the hearing.
"Families, employers, and jobs are fleeing our region because of the sky-high tax burden," Miller said. "I must stress that [the] public hearing was only the beginning, a hopeful start, to comprehensive tax-and-spending relief for taxpayers. Lawmakers must make tough choices to cut runaway spending and reduce-not control, but reduce-taxes today because this is the responsible choice for our children."
"I'm urging my colleagues to support a comprehensive, zero-growth property-tax cap to end the malicious effects unfunded mandates are having on our local governments and schools. In the coming weeks, I will introduce legislation to make sure we reduce taxes and end unfunded mandates, not kick the can farther down the road to the detriment of our children."
Stephen Acquario, executive director of the New York State Association of Counties, stated to Miller and his colleagues that nine of the largest state mandates make up 90 percent of county taxes.
"The figures presented by Mr. Acquario are telling: Albany is killing our local governments with unfunded mandates. It's time to pull the plug on dangerous unfunded mandates. Enough of Albany deciding what's right for our families; let our local governments and schools determine what's right for Central New York and its taxpayers."
Assemblyman Miller represents the 121st Assembly District, which is comprised of the towns of Clay, Cicero, Manlius, Pompey, and LaFayette. For more information on Assemblyman Miller, contact his office at 5711 South Bay Road in Cicero, or by calling 452-1115.
